regular
1:50
returning

1:51

1:55
This
1:55
podcast
1:55
has
1:56
been
1:56
running
1:56
for
1:56
six
1:57
years
1:57
now
1:57
and
1:58
very
1:58
almost
1:58
300
1:59
episodes.
2:00
We
2:00
are
2:00
so
2:00
close
2:01
to
2:01
the
2:02
300th
2:02
episode
2:03
of
2:03
this
2:03
podcast.
2:04
Huge
2:04
thank
2:05
you
2:05
for
2:05
your
2:05
continued
2:06
support.
2:06
It
2:07
genuinely
2:08
means
2:08
so
2:09
much
2:09
to
2:09
me.
2:10
So
2:10
many
2:10
people
2:10
have
2:10
been
2:11
here
2:11
since
2:12
the
2:12
beginning.
2:12
I
2:12
think
2:13
there
2:13
are
2:13
still
2:13
some
2:13
people
2:14
who
2:14
started
2:15
way,
2:15
way
2:16
back
2:16
in
2:16
the
2:16
beginning
2:16
in
2:16
2019,
2:17
and
2:17
they're
2:17
still
2:18
listening.
2:19
And
2:19
we've
2:19
just
2:19
been
2:19
picking
2:20
up
2:20
new
2:20
listeners
2:21
along
2:21
the
2:21
way.
2:22
If
2:22
you
2:22
are
2:22
a
2:22
new
2:22
listener,
2:23
you
2:23
are
2:24
very
2:24
welcome
2:24
here
2:24
at
2:25
Verbal
2:25
Diorama.
2:26
And
2:26
if
2:26
you
2:26
are
2:27
a
2:27
regular
2:27
returning
2:28
listener,
2:28
just
2:29
huge
2:29
thanks
2:30
to
2:30
you.
2:30
I
2:31

2:31
I
2:31
do
2:32
for
2:32
this
2:32
podcast
2:33
and
2:33
I
2:33
love
2:33
doing
2:34
what
2:34
I
2:34
do
2:34
for
2:34
this
2:34
podcast
2:35
because
2:35
you
2:35
keep
2:36
coming
2:36
back
2:36
to
2:36
listen.
2:37
So
2:37
thank
2:37
you
2:37
so
2:38
much.
2:39
Last
2:39
month
2:39
on
2:39
Verbal
2:40
Diorama
2:40
was
2:40
Women's
2:41
History
2:41
Month.
2:41
I
2:42
mean,
2:42
it
2:42
was
2:42
Women's
2:42
History
2:42
Month
2:43
just
2:43
generally.
2:43
But
2:43
also
2:44
on
2:44
this
2:44
podcast,
2:45
there
2:45
were
2:45
episodes
2:46
on
2:46
the
2:46
Woman
2:47
King,
2:47
Elizabeth,
2:48
Erin
2:48
Brockovich,
2:49
and
2:50
I,
2:50
Tonya.
2:51
And
2:51
there
2:52
really
2:52
is
2:52
no
2:53
way
2:53
to
2:53
segue
2:54
from
2:54
I,
2:54
Tonya,
2:54
to
2:55
Sonic
2:55
the
2:55
Hedgehog.
2:56
Except
2:56
to
2:56
say
2:57
that
2:57
Tonya
2:57
Harding
2:58
did
2:58
skate
2:59
pretty
2:59
fast.
3:00
Though
3:00
a
3:01
movie
3:01
like
3:01
Sonic
3:01
the
3:02
Hedgehog
3:02
is
3:02
a
3:03
gold
3:03
mine
3:03
for
3:04
a
3:04
podcast
3:04
like
3:04
mine.
3:05
All
3:05
the
3:06
history
3:06
of
3:06
Sega's
3:07
constant
3:07
battles
3:08
with
3:08
Nintendo,
3:09
the
3:09
evolution
3:10
of
3:10
video
3:10
game
3:11
cinema,
3:11
and
3:12
of
3:12
course,
3:12
after
3:13
they
3:13
did
3:13
a
3:13
Mario
3:14
movie
3:14
in
3:14
the
3:15
early
3:15
90s,
3:16
which
3:16
I've
3:16
done
3:16
a
3:16
very
3:17
fun
3:17
episode
3:17
on,
3:17
by
3:17
the
3:17
way,
3:18
it's
3:18
episode
3:18
261.
3:19
It's
3:19
one
3:19
of
3:19
my
3:20
personal
3:20
favorites.
3:21
Sega
3:21
was
3:22
also
3:22
in
3:22
talks
3:23
to
3:23
do
3:23
a
3:23
Sonic
3:24
movie,
3:25
because
3:25
whatever
3:26
Nintendo
3:27
did,
3:27
Sega
3:28
also
3:29
had
3:29
to
3:29
do,
3:30
but
3:30
with
3:31
an
3:31
emphasis
3:31
on
3:31
fun
3:32
and
3:32
speed.
3:33
The
3:33
problem
3:34
was,
3:35
and
3:35
still
3:35
is,
3:35
to
3:36
a
3:36
certain
3:36
extent,
3:37
Sonic
3:37
team
3:38
didn't
3:38
always
3:39
know
3:39
what
3:39
to
3:40
do
3:40
with
3:40
Sonic,
3:41
and
3:41
a
3:42
drastic
3:42
redesign
3:43
of
3:43
the
3:44
character
3:44
led
3:45
to
3:45
the
3:45
old
3:45
adage
3:46
of
3:46
all
3:47
publicity
3:47
is
3:48
good
3:48
publicity.
3:49
But
3:50
it
3:50
could
3:51
have
3:51
all
3:51
been
3:51
very
3:52
different
3:52
for
3:52
the
3:53
Blue
3:53
Blur.
3:54
Here's
3:55
the
3:55
trailer
3:55
for
3:56
Sonic
3:56
the
3:56
Hedgehog.
6:49
Fearing
6:50
his
6:50
powers
6:50
put
6:50
him
6:50
at
6:51
risk.
6:51
Sonic's
6:52
guardian,
6:52
a
6:52
wise
6:53
owl
6:53
named
6:54
Longclaw,
6:55
gives
6:55
him
6:55
a
6:55
bag
6:55
of
6:56
gold
6:56
rings
6:56
and
6:57
helps
6:57
him
6:57
escape
6:57
to
6:57
the
6:58
planet
6:58
Earth,
6:58
advising
6:59
him
6:59
to
7:00
stay
7:00
hidden
7:00
and
7:00
use
7:01
the
7:01
rings
7:01
to
7:01
keep
7:02
moving.
7:03
Fifteen
7:03
years
7:03
later,
7:04
Sonic
7:04
is
7:05
living
7:05
in
7:05
Green
7:05
Hills,
7:06
Montana,
7:07
lonely
7:07
and
7:08
craving
7:08
friendship.
7:09
He
7:09
accidentally
7:10
releases
7:10
a
7:10
power
7:11
surge
7:11
that
7:11
causes
7:12
a
7:12
massive
7:12
blackout
7:13
and
7:13
hides
7:14
in
7:14
the
7:14
garage
7:14
of
7:15
local
7:15
police
7:15
officer
7:16
Tom
7:16
Wachowski.
7:18
After
7:18
discovering
7:18
Sonic
7:19
and
7:19
accidentally
7:20
tranquilizing
7:21
him,
7:21
Sonic
7:22
loses
7:22
his
7:23
rings
7:23
through
7:23
a
7:23
ring
7:24
portal
7:24
to
7:24
San
7:24
Francisco.
7:26
Meanwhile,
7:26
the
7:26
US
7:27
government
7:27
hires
7:27
the
7:28
nefarious
7:28
but
7:29
ingenious
7:29
scientist
7:30
Dr.
7:30
Ivo
7:31
Robotnik
7:32
to
7:32
find
7:32
out
7:32
what
7:33
caused
7:33
the
7:33
blackout.
7:34
Robotnik
7:35
soon
7:35
discovers
7:36
Sonic
7:36
and
7:37
his
7:37
incredible
7:37
powers.
7:38
Wanting
7:38
to
7:38
capture
7:39
him
7:39
in
7:39
hopes
7:40
of
7:40
using
7:40
his
7:40
powers
7:41
to
7:41
improve
7:41
his
7:41
army
7:42
of
7:42
evil
7:42
drones
7:43
and
7:43
robots,
7:44
Sonic
7:45
turns
7:45
to
7:45
Tom
7:45
for
7:45
help,
7:46
hiding
7:46
from
7:46
Robotnik
7:47
and
7:47
the
7:47
US
7:47
military
7:48
and
7:48
they
7:49
end
7:49
up
7:49
on
7:49
an
7:49
action
7:50
packed
7:50
road
7:50
trip
7:51
to
7:51
find
7:51
the
7:51
rings
7:52
that
7:52
would
7:52
allow
7:53
Sonic
7:53
to
7:53
leave
7:53
earth
7:54
and
7:54
ruin
7:54
Dr.
7:55
Robotnik's
7:55
evil
7:56
plan.
7:57
Let's
7:57
run
7:58
through
7:58
the
7:58
past.
7:58
We
7:59
have
7:59
Ben
7:59
Schwartz
8:00
as
8:00
Sonic,
8:01
James
8:02
Marsden
8:02
as
8:03
Tom
8:03
Wachowski,
8:04
Tika
8:04
Sumpter
8:05
as
8:05
Maddie
8:06
Wachowski,
8:07
Jim
8:07
Carrey
8:08
as
8:08
Dr.
8:08
Ivo
8:09
Robotnik,
8:10
Lee
8:10
Majub
8:11
as
8:11
Agent
8:12
Stone,
8:13
Adam
8:13
Pally
8:14
as
8:14
Wade
8:14
Whipple,
8:15
Natasha
8:16
Rothwell
8:16
as
8:17
Rachel,
8:18
Tom
8:18
Butler
8:18
as
8:19
Commander
8:19
Walters,
8:20
Neil
8:20
McDonagh
8:21
as
8:21
Major
8:22
Bennington
8:23
and
8:23
Donna
8:23
J.
8:24
Folks
8:24
as
8:24
Longclaw.
8:26
Sonic
8:26
the
8:26
Hedgehog
8:27
was
8:27
written
8:27
by
8:27
Pat
8:28
Casey
8:28
and
8:28
Josh
8:29
Miller
8:29
and
8:30
was
8:30
directed
8:30
by
8:31
Jeff
8:31
Fowler.
8:33
So
8:33
I
8:34
think
8:34
the
8:34
majority
8:34
of
8:34
the
8:35
world
8:35
knows
8:36
a
8:36
little
8:36
bit
8:37
of
8:37
this
8:37
story.
8:38
In
8:38
April
8:38
2019,
8:39
a
8:39
trailer
8:40
was
8:40
released
8:40
by
8:41
Paramount
8:41
Pictures.
8:42
A
8:42
trailer
8:43
for
8:43
the
8:43
long
8:44
anticipated
8:45
adaptation
8:46
of
8:46
everyone's
8:47
favorite
8:47
blue
8:48
Hedgehog,
8:49
a
8:49
movie
8:50
that
8:50
had
8:50
experienced
8:51
countless
8:51
delays,
8:52
been
8:52
put
8:53
in
8:53
turnaround
8:53
by
8:53
the
8:54
original
8:54
studio
8:55
picked
8:55
by
8:56
Paramount,
8:57
let's
8:57
be
8:57
honest,
8:57
only
8:58
so
8:58
they
8:58
could
8:58
use
8:58
the
8:58
rings
8:59
instead
8:59
of
8:59
stars
9:00
around
9:00
the
9:00
mount.
9:01
Set
9:01
to
9:02
the
9:02
90s
9:02
rap
9:03
hit
9:03
Gangster's

Coolio.

9:17
Sonic
9:18
was
9:18
born

9:19
his

a

9:23
criticism

9:25
How
9:25
on

earth
9:26
could
9:26
this
9:26
have
9:26
happened?
9:27
People

mused.
9:28
How
9:28
could
9:28
you
9:29
have
9:29
a

up
9:34
with

a

The

an

10:32
of

10:34
Shortly
10:34
after,
10:35
Sega
10:35
stopped
10:36
leasing

10:42
It
10:43
was
10:43
a
10:43
more
10:44
modern
10:44

10:44
in
10:45
comparison

to

10:50
By
10:51
1990,
10:51
Sega
10:52
wanted
10:52
a
10:52
foothold
10:53
in
10:53
the
10:54
video
10:54

10:55
with

10:57
the

Sega
10:58

aka
10:59
the
10:59
Mega
10:59

11:01
Nintendo
11:02
didn't
11:02
take
11:02
Sega
11:03
seriously
11:03
as
11:04
a
11:04
competitor.
11:05
Sega
11:05
of
11:06
America
11:06
CEO
11:06
Michael
11:07
Katz
11:07
attempted
11:08
to
11:08
challenge
11:08
Nintendo
11:09
with
11:10
the
11:10
Genesis
11:11
does
11:11
what
11:11
Nintendon't
11:13
marketing
11:13
campaign.
11:14
But
11:14
these
11:15
efforts
11:15
didn't
11:15
break
11:16
Nintendo's
11:17
dominance
11:17
and
11:17
Katz
11:18
was
11:18
replaced
11:19
by
11:19
Tom
11:19
Kalinske,
11:20
formerly
11:21
of
11:21
Mattel.
11:22
Sega
11:22
president
11:23
Hayao
11:23
Nakayama
11:24
decided
11:25
Sega
11:25
needed
11:25
a
11:25
flagship
11:26
series
11:27
and
11:27
mascot
11:27
to
11:28
compete
11:28
with
11:28
Nintendo's
11:29
Mario
11:30
franchise.
11:31
Sonic
11:31
was
11:31
born
11:32
in
11:32
1990
11:33
as
11:33
a
11:33
rival
11:34
to
11:34
Mario,
11:35
starting
11:35
life
11:36
as
11:36
Mr.
11:36
Hedgehog.
11:37
He
11:37
was
11:37
created
11:38
by
11:38
the
11:38
in
11:38
house
11:39
team
11:39
of

Naoto
11:42
Ohshima
11:43
and
11:43
designer
11:44
Hirokazu
11:45
Yasuhara.
11:46
He
11:46
was
11:46
mistakenly
11:47
referred
11:47
to
11:48
as
11:48
Mr.
11:48
Needlemouse
11:49
after
11:50
a
11:50
mistranslation
11:51
of
11:51
the
11:51
name
11:52
Mr.
11:52
Hedgehog,
11:53
Needlemouse
11:54
being
11:54
a
11:55
literal
11:55
translation
11:56
of
11:56
the
11:56
Japanese
11:56
word
11:57
for
11:57
hedgehog,
11:58
Harinozumi,
11:59
literally
12:00
needle
12:00
mouse.
12:01
His
12:01
blue
12:02
color
12:02
was
12:02
inspired
12:02
by
12:03
Sega's
12:03
cobalt
12:04
blue
12:04
logo.
12:05
The
12:05
red
12:05
and
12:05
white
12:06
shoes
12:06
were
12:06
inspired
12:07
by
12:07
the
12:07
COVID
12:07
of
12:07
Michael
12:08
Jackson's
12:08
1987
12:09
album
12:10
Bad
12:10
and
12:11
his
12:11
personality
12:12
was
12:12
a
12:12
tribute
12:13
to
12:13
then
12:13
US
12:14
President
12:14
Bill
12:15
Clinton.
12:16
Ohshima
12:16
went
12:17
to
12:17
Central
12:17
park
12:17
in
12:17
1990
12:18
to
12:18
canvass
12:19
opinion
12:19
on
12:20
Mr.
12:20
Needlemouse
12:21
along
12:22
with
12:22
several
12:22
other
12:23
potential
12:23
mascots,
12:24
and
12:24
Mr.
12:24
Needlemouse
12:25
was
12:25
the
12:25
most
12:26
popular
12:26
of
12:27
the
12:27
passersby.
12:28
Back
12:29
in
12:29
Tokyo,
12:29
the
12:29
decision
12:30
was
12:30
made
12:30
to
12:30
rename
12:31
him
12:31
Sonic
12:32
because
12:32
of
12:32
his
12:33
supersonic
12:34
speed.
12:34
Sega's
12:35
first
12:35

12:36
the
12:36

12:37

1983
12:40
in
12:40
Japan,
12:41
Australia
12:41
and

12:42
Its
12:43
third
12:43
iteration
12:44
in
12:44
1985
12:45
served
12:46
as
12:46
the
12:46
basis
12:46
for
12:47
the
12:47
eight
12:47

1986
12:53
and
12:53
Europe
12:54
in
12:54
1987
12:55
where
12:55
it
12:56
was
12:56
wildly
12:56
successful.
12:57
The
12:58
Master

12:59

12:59
was
12:59
released
13:00
in
13:00
1990,
13:01
which
13:01
was
13:01
cheaper.
13:02
Sonic
13:03
the
13:03
Hedgehog
13:04
was
13:04
first
13:04
released
13:05
for
13:05
the
13:05
master
13:05

13:06
in
13:06
1991.
13:07
The
13:08
16
13:08
bit
13:08

13:09
was
13:09
released
13:10
in
13:10
Japan
13:10
in
13:11
1988
13:12
and
13:12
North
13:12
America
13:13
in
13:13
1989
13:14
as
13:15
the
13:15
Sega
13:15
Genesis.
13:16
Sonic's
13:17
first
13:17
appearance
13:18
came
13:18
in
13:18
Sega's
13:19
AM3's
13:20
racing
13:20
game
13:21
Rad
13:21
Mobile
13:22
in
13:22
1991,
13:23
five
13:24
months
13:24
before
13:24
the
13:24
release
13:25
of
13:25
Sonic
13:25
the
13:25
Hedgehog
13:26
as
13:26
an
13:26
ornament
13:27
hanging
13:27
from
13:27
the
13:28
driver's
13:28
rearview
13:29
mirror.
13:30
The
13:30
first
13:30
Sonic
13:30
the
13:31
Hedgehog
13:31
game
13:31
was
13:31
bundled
13:32
with
13:32
the
13:32
Sega
13:33
Genesis
13:33
or
13:34
Mega
13:34
Drive.
13:34
And
13:35
while
13:35
Kalinske
13:36
was
13:36
certain
13:36
the
13:36
game
13:37
would
13:37
be
13:37
a
13:37
hit,
13:38
others
13:38
at
13:38
the
13:39
American
13:39
Sega
13:40
offices
13:40
weren't
13:41
convinced.
13:42
Nowadays
13:43
it's
13:43
PlayStation
13:44
versus
13:44
Xbox.
13:45
But
13:46
back
13:46
in
13:46
the
13:46
early
13:46
generations
13:47
of
13:47
consoles,
13:48
Sega
13:48
and
13:49
Nintendo
13:49
were
13:50
the
13:50
original
13:51
console
13:51
wars.
13:52
The
13:52
companies
13:52
were
13:53
sworn
13:53
enemies
13:53
and
13:54
tried
13:54
to
13:54
constantly
13:55
outdo
13:55
each
13:55
other.
13:56
Sonic
13:57
was
13:57
fast,
13:57
whereas
13:58
Mario
13:58
was
13:58
slow.
13:59
Sonic
14:00
had
14:00
an
14:00
air
14:00
of
14:00
mischief
14:01
to
14:01
him,
14:01
running
14:02
and
14:02
spinning
14:02
around
14:02
brightly
14:03
colored
14:03
worlds,
14:04
whereas
14:04
Mario
14:05
had
14:05
more
14:05
characters,
14:06
more
14:06
to
14:06
find
14:07
and
14:07
more
14:07
of
14:07
a
14:07
narrative.
14:08
But
14:09
Sonic
14:10
wasn't
14:10
just
14:11
another
14:11
Mario
14:12
clone.
14:12
The
14:13
Sega
14:13
Genesis,
14:14
which
14:14
is
14:14
called
14:14
the
14:15
Mega
14:15
Drive
14:15
here
14:15
and
14:16
also
14:16
in
14:16
Japan,
14:17
took
14:17
gaming
14:18
to
14:18
the
14:18
next
14:19
level.
14:19
And
14:19
Sonic
14:20
was
14:20
its
14:20
poster
14:21
child.
14:21
He
14:22
had
14:22
drawer
14:22
dropping

15:13
Sega

started

to

struggle
15:14
with
15:15
the

15:15
of

In

15:26
for
15:27
the

announced.

15:29
then
15:30
subsequently

cancelled.
15:31
Then
15:32
the
15:32
announcement
15:32
of
15:32
the
15:33
Sega

15:35
gaming
15:35
convention
15:36
in
15:36
LA
15:37
was
15:37
overshadowed
15:38
by
15:39
Sony's
15:39
announcement
15:40
of
15:40
the
15:40
PlayStation.
15:42
Cheaper,
15:42
graphically
15:43
superior
15:43
and
15:44
shiny
15:44
new,
15:45
the
15:45
PlayStation
15:46
would
15:46
dominate
15:47
the
15:47
late
15:47
90s
15:47
gaming
15:48
market,
15:49
trouncing
15:49
the
15:49
Saturn,
15:50
which
15:50
some
15:51
attributed
15:51
to
15:51
its
15:52
lack
15:52
of
15:52
a
15:52
major
15:53
Sonic
15:53
game.
15:54
Sega
15:55
then
15:55
rested
15:55
all
15:56
its
15:56
hopes
15:56
on
15:56
the
15:57
Dreamcast,
15:58
a
15:58
phenomenal
15:59
piece
15:59
of
15:59
kit.
15:59

16:00
Owned

16:01
Its
16:01
best
16:01
selling
16:01
game
16:02
was
16:02
indeed
16:02
a
16:02
Sonic
16:03
game,
16:03
Sonic
16:03
adventure.
16:04
The

16:12
still
16:12
the
16:12
PlayStation
16:13
dominated.
16:14
Continued
16:15
financial
16:15
losses
16:16
meant
16:16
Sega
16:16
cutting
16:17
its
16:17
losses
16:17
and
16:18
discontinuing
16:19
the

16:19
Less
16:19
than
16:20
two
16:20
years
16:20
after
16:21
its
16:21
debut
16:21
in

1999,
16:23
Sega
16:24
would

remove

16:25
from

16:26
completely,
16:27

But
16:45
still,
16:46
Sonic

16:46
seemingly
16:47

17:32
The

latest
17:33
Sonic

game
17:34
2023's
17:35

17:47
And
17:47
you
17:47
might
17:48
recall
17:48
I
17:48
mentioned
17:49
there
17:49
was
17:49
huge
17:49
animosity
17:50
originally
17:51
between
17:51
Sega
17:52
and
17:52
Nintendo,
17:53
but
17:53
you'll
17:54
also
17:54
notice
17:55
that
17:55
once
17:55
Sega
17:56
became
17:56
a
17:56
third
17:57
party
17:57
software
17:58
developer,
17:58
they
17:59
released
17:59
games
18:00
on
18:00
the
18:00
GameCube,
18:01
the
18:01

18:01

18:02
advance,
18:02
the
18:03

18:03
the
18:03
Nintendo
18:04

18:04
the
18:05
Nintendo
18:05
3DS,
18:06
and
18:06
the
18:06
Wii
18:06
U.
18:07
So
18:07
the
18:08
rift
18:08
with
18:08
Nintendo
18:09
healed
18:10
pretty
18:10
quickly.
18:11
Sega
18:11
have
18:11
been
18:12
developing
18:12
titles
18:12
for
18:13
Nintendo
18:13
consoles
18:14
since
18:14
2001,
18:16
and
18:16
in
18:16
2007,
18:18
Sega
18:18
and
18:18
Nintendo
18:19
collaborated
18:20
using
18:21
Sega's
18:21
acquired
18:22
Olympic
18:22
Games
18:22
license
18:23
to
18:24
create
18:24
the
18:24
Mario
18:25
and
18:25
Sonic
18:25
at
18:25
the
18:26
Olympic
18:26
Games
18:26
series,
18:27
which
18:27
has
18:27
sold
18:28
over
18:28
20
18:29
million
18:29
copies
18:30
in
18:30
total.
18:31
So
18:31
despite
18:31
the
18:32
fiercest
18:32
of
18:32
rivalries
18:33
in
18:33
the
18:33
90s,
18:34
you
18:34
can
18:35
just
18:35
make
18:35
up
18:35
and
18:35
become
18:36
friends
18:36
in
18:36
the
18:36
2000s.
18:38
Sonic
18:39
was
18:39
never
18:39
just
18:39
a
18:40
video
18:40
game
18:40
character,
18:41
though.
18:41
In
18:42
1992,
18:43
Mikaleen
18:43
Risley
18:44
was
18:44

18:49
and
18:49
her
18:49
first
18:50

18:50
was
18:50
to

18:51

take

18:54
They
18:55
took
18:55
inspiration
18:55
from
18:56
how
18:56
he
18:56

18:58
cartoon
18:58

18:59
was
18:59
instrumentals
19:00
to
19:00
the
19:00
success
19:01
of
19:01
the
19:01
toy
19:01

19:02
and
19:02
the
19:02
company's
19:03
CEO,
19:03
Tom
19:03
Kalinske
19:04
wanted
19:05
to

19:06

19:06

19:07

19:08
for

19:09
Two

19:10
signed
19:11
and

19:23
called
19:23
Sonic
19:24
the
19:24
Hedgehog.
19:25
The
19:25
former
19:25
was
19:26
a
19:26
syndicated
19:26
after
19:27
school
19:27
show,
19:28
the
19:28
latter
19:28
was
19:29
an
19:29
edgier
19:30
Saturday
19:30
morning
19:30
cartoon.
19:31
It
19:31
was
19:31
pretty
19:32
unprecedented
19:32
at
19:33
the
19:33
time
19:33
for
19:33
two
19:34
animated
19:34
series
19:35
to
19:35
debut
19:36
at
19:36
the
19:36
same
19:37
time
19:37
with
19:38
the
19:38
same
19:38
character.
19:39
The
19:39
third
19:39
animated
19:40
series
19:40
premiered
19:41
in
19:41
1999
19:42
and
19:42
that
19:42
was
19:43
called
19:43
Sonic
19:44
Underground.
19:45
Also
19:45
premiering
19:46
in
19:46
1993.
19:47
The
19:47
British
19:48
comic
19:48
book
19:48
Sonic
19:49
the
19:49
Comic,
19:49
a
19:50
series
19:50
of
19:50
four
19:50
novels
19:51
and
19:51
Stay
19:52
Sonic
19:52
were
19:52
published
19:53
by
19:53
Fleetway
19:54
Publications,
19:54
Edgemont
19:55

19:56
Archie
19:56
Comics
19:57
also
19:57
published
19:58
an
19:58
American
19:58
comic,
19:59
Sonic
20:00
the
20:00
Hedgehog,
20:00
the
20:00
same
20:01
year.
20:02
I
20:02
mean,
20:02
if
20:03
you're
20:03
going
20:03
to
20:03
have
20:03
a
20:03
comic
20:04
for
20:04
Sonic,
20:04
surely
20:05
Sonic
20:05
the
20:05
Comic
20:06
makes
20:06
more
20:07
sense
20:07
than
20:07
just
20:07
calling
20:08
it
20:08
Sonic
20:08
the
20:08
Hedgehog.
20:09
But
20:09
then
20:10
maybe
20:10
because
20:10
I'm
20:10
British,
20:11
I
20:11
just
20:11
think
20:11
Sonic
20:12
the
20:12
Comic
20:12
is
20:12
a
20:13
great
20:13
name.
20:14
With
20:14

20:17
the
20:17
natural
20:18
next
20:18
step
20:18
for
20:18
the
20:18
character
20:19

B.
21:10
Lewis,
21:10
simply
21:11
called
21:11
Sonic
21:12
the
21:12
Movie.
21:13
The

treatment,
21:13
which

is
21:14
available
21:14
to
21:15
read
21:15
online
21:15
in
21:16
its
21:16
entirety,
21:17
starts
21:17
with
21:17
the
21:18
following
21:18
quote.
21:19
In
21:20
telling
21:20
this
21:20
original
21:21
interpretation
21:21
of
21:22
the
21:22
Sonic
21:22
story,
21:23
we
21:23
are
21:23
attempting
21:24
to
21:24
introduce
21:24
a
21:25
new
21:25
mythology
21:26
to
21:26
the
21:26
movie
21:26
going
21:27
audience.
21:27
We
21:28
ask
21:28
you
21:28
to
21:28
keep
21:28
in
21:29
mind
21:29
that
21:29
we
21:29
are
21:29
all
21:30
selling
21:30
a
21:30
live
21:31
action
21:31
movie
21:31
to
21:31
a
21:32
broad
21:32
family
21:32
audience,
21:33
many
21:33
of
21:34
whom
21:34
have
21:34
never
21:35
played
21:35
the
21:35
Sonic
21:35
video
21:36
game.
21:37
For
21:37
this
21:37
reason
21:38
we
21:38
believe
21:38
that
21:38
the
21:38
Sonic
21:39
Movie
21:39
should
21:39
be
21:40
a
21:40
Genesis
21:40
story
21:41
and
21:41
as
21:41
we
21:42
discuss
21:42
in
21:42
our
21:42
various
21:43
story
21:43
sessions,
21:44
will
21:44
involve
21:45
a
21:45
teenage
21:45
boy
21:45
who
21:46
transforms
21:46
into
21:47
the
21:47
Sonic
21:47
character.
21:48
This
21:48
transformation
21:49
will
21:49
utilize
21:50
multiple
21:51
film
21:51
elements
21:52
including
21:52
live
21:53
action,
21:53
full
21:54
motion,
21:54
animatronics
21:55
and
21:55
puppetry
21:56
and
21:56
state
21:56
of
21:56
the
21:56
art
21:57
computer
21:57
generated
21:58
images.
21:59
Somewhat
21:59
darker
22:00
and
22:00
edgier
22:00
in
22:00
tone
22:01
than
22:01
the
22:01
existing
22:02
video
22:02
game,
22:03
there
22:03
should
22:03
be
22:03
a
22:03
strong
22:04
sense
22:04
of
22:04
real
22:05
jeopardy,
22:05
as
22:06
was
22:06
done
22:06
effectively
22:07
in
22:07
both
22:07
Batman
22:08
and
22:08
Jurassic
22:09
Park.
22:09
Our
22:10
adventure
22:10
should
22:10
be
22:11
capable
22:11
of
22:11
providing
22:12
wonderful
22:12
entertainment
22:13
with
22:13
Sonic
22:14
and
22:14
his
22:14
friends
22:15
being
22:15
an
22:15
integral
22:16
part
22:16
of
22:16
the
22:16
movie
22:17
going
22:17
experience,
22:18
unquote.
22:19
This
22:20
treatment
22:21
involved
22:21
a
22:21
teenage
22:22
boy
22:22
being
22:22
able
22:23
to
22:23
turn
22:23
into
22:23
Sonic
22:24
after
22:24
a
22:24
freak
22:24
accident
22:25
and
22:25
must
22:26
rescue
22:26
his
22:26
scientist
22:27
father
22:27
who
22:28
inadvertently
22:28
creates
22:29
mutant
22:29
creatures,
22:30
including
22:31
one
22:31
Sonic
22:32
nicknames
22:32
Robotnik.
22:33
This
22:34
adaptation
22:34
was
22:35
quickly
22:35
vetoed
22:36
by
22:36
Sega.
22:37
Michaeline
22:38

22:39

22:39
to
22:39
work
22:39
at

Marvel
22:40
Comics
22:40
and
22:40
so
22:40
when
22:41
thinking
22:41
of
22:41
who
22:41
could
22:42
write
22:42
a
22:42
treatment
22:42
for
22:42
a
22:43
Sonic
22:43
film,
22:44
she
22:44
suggested
22:45
MGM
22:45
and
22:45
Sega
22:46
hire
22:46
Richard
22:47

22:48

24:04
Josh

returns

24:05

24:11
This
24:12
treatment
24:12
sounds
24:13
absolutely
24:13
crazy,
24:14
but
24:15
this
24:15
draft
24:16
actually
24:16
received
24:16
a
24:17
positive
24:17
response
24:18
from
24:18
Sega
24:18
and
24:19
MGM
24:19

24:21
but
24:21
it
24:21
was
24:22
scrapped
24:23
either
24:23
because
24:23
of
24:23
creative
24:24
differences
24:24
between
24:25
the
24:25

24:29
Jeffries
24:29
was
24:30
paid
24:30
off
24:30
and
24:30
Sega
24:31
gave
24:31
him
24:31
permission
24:31
to
24:32

24:32
the
24:32

24:32

24:33
which
24:33
he
24:34
took
24:34
to
24:34
DreamWorks
24:35
due
24:35
to
24:35
a
24:35
connection
24:36
he
24:36
had
24:36
with
24:36

24:38
The

with
24:41
the

24:42
but
24:42
even
24:42
though
24:43
the
24:43
story
24:43
got
24:43
a
24:44
glowing
24:44

to

pitch

an

25:07
Allegedly,

25:12
got
25:12
wind
25:13
of
25:13
this
25:13
attempt
25:13
and
25:14
told
25:14
Sega
25:14
that
25:14

25:15
trying
25:15
to

co

25:17
In
25:17
reality,
25:18
Pender
25:18
had
25:19
his
25:19
own
25:19
idea,
25:20
Sonic
25:20
Armageddon,
25:21
which
25:22
even
25:22
has
25:22

own

homemade
25:23

25:24
available
25:24
on

25:26
I
25:26
will
25:26
put
25:26
the
25:26
pitch
25:27
in
25:27
the
25:27
show
25:27
notes
25:28
Pender
25:29
pitched
25:29
his

25:30
in
25:30
September
25:30
2003
25:31
and
25:32
Sega
25:32
was
25:32
allegedly
25:33
interested
25:34
in
25:34
the
25:34
idea,
25:35
but
25:35
they
25:35
decided
25:36
to
25:36
focus
25:36
their
25:36
attention
25:37
on
25:37
Sonic

25:38

25:39
ran
25:39
from
25:40
2003
25:40
to
25:41
2005.
25:43
It
25:43
would
25:43
take
25:43
a

25:44
10
25:44
years
25:44

25:47
In

just

key

excuse

the

28:02
They

direct

28:39
Speaking
28:39
of
28:40
Sonic
28:40
and
28:41
the
28:41
film's
28:41
visual
28:41
effects,
28:42
they
28:42
were
28:43
provided
28:43
by
28:43
Moving
28:44

28:44

Trickster
28:48
and
28:48
Digital
28:48
Domain
28:49
and
28:49
the
28:49
idea
28:50
always
28:50
was
28:50
to
28:51
utilize
28:51
Sonic
28:52
as
28:52
a
28:52
CGI
28:53
character.
28:54
They
28:54
wanted
28:55
to
28:55
make
28:55
him
28:56
photorealistic
28:57
and
28:57
a
28:57
version
28:58
of
28:58
Sonic
28:58
that
28:59
could
28:59
exist
28:59
in
29:00
the
29:00
live
29:00
action
29:01
world.
29:02
These
29:02
are
29:02
both
29:02
important
29:03
things
29:03
to
29:03
note
29:04
and
29:04
remember.
29:05
Photorealistic
29:06
could
29:07
exist
29:07
in
29:08
our
29:08
current
29:09
live
29:09
action
29:10
world.
29:10
This
29:11
misguided
29:12
realism
29:12
was
29:12
led
29:13
by
29:13
Paramount's
29:14
visual
29:14
effects
29:14
teams
29:15
and
29:15
it's
29:15
important
29:16
to
29:16
note
29:16
that
29:17
SEGA
29:17
wasn't
29:18
really
29:18
that
29:18
closely
29:19
involved
29:19
in
29:19
the
29:19
character's
29:20
initial
29:20
creation.
29:22
Initially
29:23
Sonic
29:23
was
29:23
given
29:24
long
29:24
human
29:25
like
29:25
legs,
29:25
almost
29:26
like
29:26
an
29:26
athlete's
29:27
muscular
29:28
legs,
29:28
which
29:28
makes
29:29
sense
29:29
if
29:29
he
29:29
can
29:29
run
29:30
really
29:30
fast
29:30
I
29:31
guess
29:32
small
29:32
human
29:33
like
29:33
teeth,
29:33
an
29:34
unnatural
29:35
humanoid
29:35
build
29:36
and
29:36
smaller
29:37
more
29:37
realistic
29:38
humanoid
29:39
ish
29:39
eyes.
29:40
While
29:40
all
29:40
of
29:41
this
29:41
did
29:41
indeed
29:41
make
29:42
a
29:42
Sonic
29:42
that
29:42
was
29:43
photorealistic
29:44
and
29:45
maybe
29:45
could
29:45
exist
29:46
in
29:46
this
29:46
world,
29:47
maybe
29:48
potentially,
29:49
I
29:49
don't
29:49
know,
29:49
but
29:50
let's
29:50
go
29:50
with
29:50
this.
29:51
It
29:52
was
29:52
ultimately
29:53
completely
29:53
different
29:54
to
29:54
the
29:54
Sonic
29:54
that
29:55
fans
29:55
knew.
29:57
Now
29:57
you
29:57
might
29:57
argue
29:58
that
29:58
sometimes
29:59
a
29:59
little
30:00
bit
30:00
of
30:00
artistic
30:00
license
30:01
is
30:01
okay,
30:02
sometimes
30:02
a
30:02
little
30:02
bit
30:03
different
30:03
is
30:03
okay.
30:05
A
30:05
teaser
30:06
motion
30:06
poster
30:06
was
30:07
released
30:07
on
30:07
10th
30:08
December
30:08
2018
30:09
featuring
30:10
a
30:10
blurry
30:11
blue
30:11
line
30:11
speeding
30:12
past
30:12
the
30:12
camera,
30:13
which
30:13
is
30:13
a
30:13
familiar
30:14
sight
30:14
obviously
30:14
for
30:15
fans
30:15
of
30:15
the
30:15
franchise.
30:16
The
30:16
iconic
30:17
twinkle
30:17
of
30:17
gold
30:18
rings
30:18
and
30:19
the
30:19
outline
30:19
of
30:20
Sonic
30:20
bathed
30:21
in
30:21
blue
30:21
light
30:22
posing
30:23
in
30:23
a
30:23
runner's
30:24
stance.
30:25
This
30:25
new
30:25
version
30:26
of
30:26
Sonic
30:27
was
30:27
noticeably
30:28
more
30:28
tall
30:28
and
30:29
muscular
30:30
than
30:30
his
30:30
video
30:31
game
30:31
counterpart.
30:32
He
30:32
had
30:33
the
30:33
red
30:33
sneakers
30:34
and
30:34
a
30:34
slicked
30:34
back
30:35
spiky
30:35
hairdo,
30:36
but
30:37
gone
30:38
were
30:38
his
30:38
signature
30:38
white
30:39
gloves
30:39
and
30:39
socks.
30:40
And
30:40
even
30:41
though
30:41
it's
30:41
silhouette,
30:42
fans
30:43
didn't
30:43
like
30:43
it.
30:44
More
30:44
designs
30:45
were
30:45
leaked
30:45
in
30:45
March
30:46
2019
30:46
with
30:47
Sonic
30:47
Co
30:47
creator
30:48
Yuji
30:48
Naka
30:49
shocked
30:50
by
30:50
the
30:50
design
30:50
and
30:51
feeling
30:51
the
30:51
ratio
30:52
of
30:52
Sonic's
30:52
head
30:52
and
30:53
abdomen
30:53
was
30:54
imbalanced.
30:55
But
30:55
if
30:55
the
30:55
reaction
30:56
was
30:56
bad
30:56
to
30:56
the
30:56
motion
30:57
poster.
30:58
It
30:58
was
30:59
catastrophic
31:00
to
31:00
the
31:00
first
31:01
trailer.
31:01
On
31:02
30
31:02
April
31:03
2019,
31:04
the
31:04
trailer
31:04
to
31:04
Coolio's
31:05
Gangster's
31:06
paradise
31:06
released
31:07
two
31:07
overwhelmingly
31:09
negative
31:09
reviews.
31:10
The
31:10
incident
31:11
erupted
31:11
with
31:12
memes
31:12
and
31:12
criticism,
31:13
with
31:14
many
31:14
describing
31:14
the
31:15
design
31:15
as
31:15
nightmare
31:16
Fuel
31:16
or
31:17
uncomfortably
31:18
human.
31:18
Like
31:19
they
31:19
didn't
31:19
like
31:20
his
31:20
fur,
31:20
his
31:21
gloveless
31:21
hands,
31:21
his
31:22
suckless
31:22
feet,
31:23
the
31:23
branded
31:23
trainers,
31:24
the
31:24
tiny
31:25
eyes,
31:25
the
31:25
human
31:26
teeth.
31:26
It
31:27
didn't
31:27
help
31:27
that
31:28
Detective
31:28
Pikachu,
31:29
which
31:29
was
31:29
due
31:30
out
31:30
in
31:30
May
31:30
2019,
31:31
looked
31:32
thoroughly
31:33
faithful
31:33
to
31:33
the
31:34
animated
31:34
Pokemon
31:35
characters
31:35
while
31:36
also
31:36
setting
31:37
it
31:37
in
31:37
a
31:38
human
31:38
world.
31:39
The
31:40
Hollywood
31:40
Reporter
31:41
summarized
31:41
it
31:41
best
31:42
when
31:42
reviewing
31:42
the
31:42
trailer
31:43
quote
31:43
a
31:44
brief
31:44
digression
31:45
about
31:45
the
31:45
design
31:45
of
31:45
Sonic
31:46
as
31:46
a
31:46
character.
31:47
As
31:47
many
31:47
have
31:48
already
31:48
pointed
31:48
out,
31:49
portraying
31:49
Sonic
31:50
as
31:50
something
31:50
so
31:51
anthropomorphised
31:52
that
31:52
the
31:53
hedgehog
31:53
part
31:54
of
31:54
his
31:54
name
31:54
seems
31:55
more
31:55
like
31:55
an
31:55
attempt
31:56
to
31:56
justify
31:56
a
31:57
trademark
31:57
than
31:58
a
31:58
recognizable
31:59
description
31:59
is
32:00
a
32:00
choice
32:00
that
32:00
is
32:01
at
32:01
best
32:01
bold
32:02
as
32:02
it
32:02
is
32:03
inexplicable.
32:04
Why
32:04
couldn't
32:04
Sonic
32:05
look
32:05
like
32:05
the
32:06
cartoonish
32:06
blue
32:07
hedgehog
32:07
fans
32:07
know
32:08
him
32:08
as?
32:08
Why
32:09
make
32:09
him
32:09
into
32:10
a
32:10
strange
32:10
half
32:10
man
32:11
half
32:12
who
32:12
knows
32:12
what
32:12
with
32:13
worryingly
32:13
human
32:14
teeth?
32:14
It's
32:15
almost
32:15
the
32:15
opposite
32:16
of
32:16
Toyetic.
32:17
It's
32:17
cute,
32:18
disassociated
32:19
body
32:19
horror.
32:21
Arguably
32:22
the
32:22
point
32:22
of
32:22
any
32:23
trailer
32:23
is
32:23
to
32:24
get
32:24
people
32:24
talking
32:25
and
32:25
build
32:25
up
32:26
some
32:26
sort
32:26
of
32:26
hype,
32:27
and
32:27
social
32:28
media
32:28
buzzed
32:29
with
32:29
comments,
32:30
pretty
32:30
much
32:30
all
32:31
of
32:31
it
32:31
backlash.
32:32
Could
32:33
the
32:33
movie
32:33
survive
32:34
the
32:34
overwhelmingly
32:35
negative
32:35
response
32:36
and
32:36
still
32:37
come
32:37
out
32:37
on
32:37
its
32:38
planned
32:38
8th
32:38
of
32:39
November
32:39
2019
32:40
release
32:40
date?
32:41
Well,
32:42
it
32:42
wouldn't
32:42
have
32:42
to,
32:43
mere
32:44
days
32:44
later
32:44
on
32:44
2
32:45
May
32:46
2019.
32:46
Director
32:47
Jeff
32:47
Fowler
32:48
thank
32:49
you
32:49
for
32:49
the
32:49
support
32:50
and
32:50
the
32:50
criticism.
32:51
The
32:51
message
32:52
is
32:52
loud
32:52
and
32:52
clear.
32:53
You
32:53
aren't
32:54
happy
32:54
with
32:54
the
32:54
design
32:55
and
32:55
you
32:55
want
32:55
changes.
32:56
It's
32:56
going
32:57
to
32:57
happen.
32:58
Everyone
32:58
at
32:58
Paramount
32:59
and
32:59
SEGA
32:59
are
33:00
fully
33:00
committed
33:00
to
33:01
making
33:01
this
33:01
character
33:02
the
33:02
best
33:02
he
33:03
can
33:03
be.
33:04
Soniclooly
33:06
Gotta
33:06
fix
33:06
fast.
33:08
To
33:08
Fowler's
33:09
credit,
33:09
he
33:09
didn't
33:09
go
33:10
on
33:10
the
33:10
defensive.
33:11
He
33:11
listened
33:11
to
33:11
the
33:11
fans,
33:12
understood
33:12
their
33:13
concerns,
33:13
and
33:14
let's
33:14
be
33:14
honest,
33:15
that
33:15
approach
33:15
would
33:16
end
33:16
up
33:16
paying
33:16
dividends
33:17
in
33:17
the
33:17
end.
33:18
Naturally,
33:19
the
33:19
next
33:19
concern
33:20
was
33:20
going
33:20
to
33:20
be
33:21
how
33:21
the
33:21
visual
33:21
effects
33:22
team
33:22
were
33:22
going
33:22
to
33:22
achieve
33:23
this
33:23
mammoth
33:24
task
33:24
in
33:24
just
33:24
a
33:25
few
33:25
months
33:26
by
33:26
24
33:27
May
33:27
2019,
33:28
Jeff
33:29
Fowler
33:30
taking
33:30
a
33:30
little
33:31

33:41

33:42
noticed
33:42
that
33:42
artwork
33:43
on
33:43
the
33:43
tweet
33:44
looked
33:44
suspiciously
33:45
like
33:45
the
33:45
work
33:46
of
33:46
longtime
33:47
Sonic
33:47
designer
33:47
Tyson
33:48
Hess.
33:49
Could
33:49
he
33:50
be
33:50
involved
33:50
in
33:50
the
33:51
new
33:51
design
33:51
of
33:51
Sonic?
33:52
Why
33:52
yes.
33:53
Yes
33:53
he
33:53
could.
33:54
Tyson
33:55
Hess
33:55
had
33:56
previously
33:56
worked
33:56
on
33:56
the
33:56
opening
33:57
animation
33:57
For
33:58
Sonic
33:58
Mania
33:58
2017,
33:59
the
34:00

34:01
animated
34:02
shorts,
34:02
and
34:03
various
34:03
Sonic
34:03
comic
34:04
books
34:04
for
34:04
Archie
34:05
Comics.
34:05
He
34:06
was
34:06
highly
34:06
respected
34:07
within
34:07
the
34:07
Sonic
34:08
fan
34:08
community
34:09
for
34:09
his
34:09
faithful
34:10
yet
34:10
dynamic
34:10
interpretation
34:11
of
34:11
the
34:11
character.
34:12
Hess
34:13
played
34:13
a
34:13
crucial
34:14
role
34:14
in
34:14
saving
34:15
Sonic
34:15
the
34:15
Hedgehog
34:16
with
34:16
his
34:16
redesign
34:17
work.
34:17
After
34:18
the
34:18
disastrous
34:18
reception
34:19
to
34:19
the
34:19
original
34:20
ugly
34:20
Sonic
34:20
design
34:21
in
34:21
the
34:21
first
34:21
trailer,
34:22
Paramount
34:22
brought
34:23
in
34:23
Hess
34:23
to
34:24
lead
34:24
the
34:24
character
34:24
redesign
34:25
effort.
34:26
Hess
34:26
later
34:26
confirmed
34:27
on
34:27
Twitter
34:28
that
34:28
he
34:28
was
34:29
brought
34:29
in
34:29
to
34:29
lead
34:29
the
34:30
redesign.
34:31
He
34:31
worked
34:31
with
34:31
the
34:31
film's
34:32
visual
34:32
effects
34:32
teams
34:33
to
34:33
create
34:33
a
34:34
new
34:34
look
34:34
that
34:34
was
34:34
much
34:35
more
34:35
faithful
34:35
to
34:36
Sonic's
34:36
video
34:37
game
34:37
appearance
34:37
while
34:38
still
34:38
functioning
34:39
well
34:39
in
34:39
a
34:39
live
34:40
action
34:40
setting.
34:41
Now
34:42
we
34:42
know
34:42
there
34:42
is
34:43
an
34:43
issue
34:43
just
34:43
generally
34:44
in
34:44
Hollywood
34:44
at
34:44
the
34:44
moment
34:45
and
34:45
within
34:45
the
34:45
visual
34:46
effects
34:46
industry
34:47
for
34:47
studios
34:48
to
34:48
demand
34:48
effects
34:49
work
34:49
with
34:50
very
34:50
little
34:50
time
34:50
for
34:50
the
34:51
teams
34:51
to
34:51
successfully
34:52
complete
34:52
it.
34:53
It's
34:53
happened
34:53
on
34:54
major
34:55
movies
34:55
from
34:55
various
34:56
major
34:56
studios,
34:57
including
34:58
huge
34:59
studios
34:59
like
35:00
Marvel,
35:00
pushing
35:01
visual
35:01
effects
35:02
teams
35:02
to
35:02
their
35:02
absolute
35:03
limit
35:04
to
35:04
get
35:04
sometimes
35:05
not
35:06
the
35:06
greatest
35:06
results.
35:07
It's
35:08
not
35:08
the
35:08
fault
35:08
of
35:08
the
35:08
visual
35:09
effects
35:09
teams,
35:10
it's
35:10
the
35:10
fact
35:10
that
35:10
they
35:10
are
35:11
put
35:11
under
35:11
unrealistic
35:13
timelines
35:13
to
35:13
get
35:13
this
35:14
work
35:14
done.
35:15
While
35:15
multiple
35:16
visual
35:16
effects
35:16
studios
35:17
collaborated
35:17
on
35:18
the
35:18
work
35:18
and
35:18
Paramount
35:19
extended
35:19
the
35:20
movie's
35:20
release
35:20
date
35:20
by
35:21
three
35:21
months
35:21
to
35:21
accommodate
35:22
it,
35:22
some
35:23
reports
35:23
indicated
35:24
that
35:24
many
35:24
visual
35:25
effects
35:25
artists
35:26
had
35:26
to
35:26
work
35:27
significant
35:27
overtime
35:28
to
35:28
meet
35:28
the
35:28
deadline.
35:29
While
35:29
the
35:30
character
35:30
model
35:30
was
35:31
completely
35:31
redone,
35:32
some
35:32
of
35:32
the
35:32
underlying
35:33
animation
35:33
data
35:34
could
35:34
be
35:34
repurposed,
35:35
saving
35:36
some
35:36
time
35:36
in
35:37
the
35:37
process,
35:37
and
35:38
the
35:38
idea
35:38
was
35:39
to
35:39
salvage
35:39
as
35:39
much
35:40
as
35:40
they
35:40
possibly
35:41
could.
35:41
The
35:42
typical
35:42
lengthy
35:43
approval
35:43
chains
35:43
were
35:43
expedited,
35:44
with
35:45
director
35:45
Jeff
35:45
Fowler
35:46
working
35:46
closely
35:47
with
35:47
Tyson
35:47
Hess
35:47
and
35:48
the
35:48
visual
35:48
effects
35:48
teams
35:49
to
35:49
make
35:49
quicker
35:50
decisions,
35:50
the
35:51
team
35:51
prioritized
35:52
the
35:52
character
35:52
redesign
35:53
itself
35:53
with
35:54
less
35:54
emphasis
35:55
on
35:55
changing
35:55
environmental
35:56
interactions
35:57
and
35:57
some
35:57
background
35:58
elements.
35:59
The
35:59
redesign
36:00
added
36:00
an
36:00
estimated
36:01
$5
36:01
million
36:02
to
36:02
the
36:02
budget.
36:03
The
36:03
misconception
36:04
was
36:04
they
36:04
had
36:04
to
36:05
redo
36:05
the
36:05
entire
36:06
movie,
36:06
but
36:07
luckily
36:07
it
36:07
was
36:08
just
36:08
fixing
36:08
the
36:09
amount
36:09
of
36:09
animation
36:09
work
36:10
they
36:10
had
36:10
already
36:10
completed,
36:11
which
36:12
was
36:12
the
36:12
trailer's
36:13
worth
36:13
of
36:13
visual
36:13
effects
36:14
plus
36:15
a
36:15
little
36:15
more
36:15
on
36:16
the
36:16
finished
36:16
movie.
36:17
All
36:18
of
36:18
the
36:18
extra
36:18
work
36:19
seemed
36:19
to
36:19
be
36:19
worth
36:20
it
36:20
when
36:20
Sonic's
36:21
new,
36:21
more
36:22
faithful
36:22
design
36:22
debuted
36:23
in
36:23
a
36:23
brand
36:23
new
36:24
trailer
36:24
on
36:24
12
36:25
November
36:25
2019,
36:26
a
36:26
few
36:27
days
36:27
after
36:27
the
36:27
movie's
36:28
original
36:28
intended
36:29
release
36:29
date,
36:30
this
36:30
time
36:30
to
36:31
JJ
36:31
Fad,
36:31
Supersonic
36:32
and
36:32
Ramones
36:33
Blitzkrieg
36:34
Bob
36:34
the
36:35
second
36:35
trailer
36:35
received
36:36
thousands
36:37
of
36:37
likes
36:37
and
36:38
the
36:38
highest
36:38
like
36:39
to
36:39
dislike
36:39
ratio
36:40
many
36:40
trailer
36:41
on
36:41
Google
36:42
in
36:42
the
36:42
last
36:42
three
36:42
years
36:43
it
36:43
also
36:44
made
36:44
the
36:44
character
36:44
more
36:45
expressive,
36:45
more
36:46
natural
36:46
feeling,
36:47
and
36:47
added
36:47
an
36:47
extra
36:48
layer
36:48
to
36:48
his
36:48
personality
36:49
that
36:50
he
36:50
simply
36:50
didn't
36:51
have
36:51
as
36:51
the
36:52
more
36:52
photorealistic
36:53
character.
36:54
It's
36:54
not
36:55
all
36:55
positive
36:55
news
36:56
though.
36:56
Shortly
36:57
after
36:57
completing
36:58
work
36:58
on
36:58
the
36:58
Sonic
36:59
movie,
36:59
NPCs
37:00
Vancouver
37:01
studio,
37:01
which
37:01
helped
37:02
to
37:02
work
37:02
on
37:02
the
37:02
film,
37:03
was
37:03
shut
37:03
down,
37:04
leaving
37:04
many
37:05
artists
37:05
who
37:05
had
37:05
worked
37:06
intensely
37:06
on
37:07
the
37:07
redesign
37:07
without
37:08
jobs.
37:09
Many
37:09
of
37:09
the
37:09
visual
37:10
effects
37:10
artists
37:10
and
37:11
visual
37:11
effects
37:11
studios
37:12
who
37:12
did
37:12
work
37:12
on
37:12
Sonic
37:13
were
37:13
seemingly
37:14
not
37:14
allowed
37:15
to
37:15
talk
37:15
to
37:15
the
37:15
press
37:16
about
37:16
the
37:16
work
37:16
they
37:16
had
37:17
to
37:17
do
37:17
to
37:17
change
37:17
the
37:18
character's
37:18
design,
37:19
presumably
37:20
under
37:20
NDAs
37:21
from
37:21
Paramount.
37:22
Now
37:23
the
37:23
ultimate
37:23
question
37:24
was
37:25
this
37:25
all
37:26
just
37:26
an
37:27
elaborate
37:27
publicity
37:28
stunt?
37:29
Paramount
37:29
and
37:30
Sega
37:30
release
37:31
a
37:31
fake
37:31
trailer
37:32
with
37:32
a
37:32
bad
37:32
looking
37:32
Sonic,
37:33
knowing
37:34
all
37:34
publicity
37:35
is
37:35
good
37:35
publicity,
37:36
only
37:36
to
37:36
then
37:36
turn
37:37
around
37:37
and
37:37
go
37:37
we
37:37
got
37:38
you
37:38
guys,
37:38
we
37:38
made
37:39
a
37:39
mistake
37:39
and
37:39
we'll
37:39
fix
37:40
it,
37:40
only
37:41
to
37:41
actually
37:41
have
37:41
the
37:42
correctly
37:42
designed
37:42
Sonic
37:43
in
37:43
their
37:43
back
37:43
pocket
37:44
all
37:44
along.
37:45
Now
37:45
the
37:46
Internet
37:46
seems
37:46
to
37:47
think
37:47
it's
37:47
a
37:47
possibility.
37:49
I
37:49
would
37:49
like
37:50
to
37:50
refute
37:50
that
37:51
with
37:51
the
37:51
following
37:52
if
37:52
that
37:53
were
37:53
the
37:53
case,
37:54
why
37:54
were
37:55
Ugly
37:55
Sonic
37:56
toys
37:56
commissioned?
37:57
No
37:58
one
37:58
would
37:58
commission
37:59
toys
38:00
with
38:00
a
38:00
fake
38:00
design,
38:01
only
38:01
to
38:02
scrap
38:02
them
38:02
later.
38:03
Toys
38:03
cost
38:04
money
38:04
and
38:05
some
38:05

38:19
known
38:19
by
38:20
video
38:20
game
38:20
fans
38:21
for
38:21
the
38:21
world
38:21
of
38:21
Nintendo
38:22
line,
38:22
produced
38:23
the
38:23
toys
38:24
based
38:24
on
38:24
the
38:24
original,
38:25
now
38:26
outdated
38:26
character
38:27
models.
38:28
These
38:28
items
38:29
were
38:29
available
38:29
at
38:30
Target
38:30
and
38:30
Entertainment
38:31

38:32
The
38:32
packaging
38:33
on
38:33
the
38:33
Spindash
38:33
Sonic
38:34
does
38:35
feature
38:35
the
38:35
updated
38:36
design,
38:36
which
38:37
proves
38:37
that
38:37
Paramount
38:38
supplied
38:38
the
38:38
original
38:39
models
38:39
way
38:40
before
38:40
the
38:40
feedback
38:41
on
38:41
the
38:41
first
38:41
trailer.
38:42
And
38:42
once
38:42
the
38:42
manufacturing
38:43
of
38:43
toys
38:44
starts,
38:45
it
38:45
isn't
38:45
going
38:45
to
38:46
stop
38:46
for
38:46
a
38:46
redesign.
38:47
So
38:47
I
38:47
think
38:48
we
38:48
can
38:48
put
38:48
the
38:49
conspiracy
38:49
theories
38:50
to
38:50
bed.
38:51
Ugly
38:51
Sonic
38:52
was
38:52
going
38:52
to
38:53
be
38:53
Sonic
38:54
until
38:55
the
38:55
fans
38:56
reacted
38:56
to
38:56
Ugly
38:57
Sonic.
38:57
Then
38:57
he
38:58
became
38:58
the
38:58
Sonic
38:59
that
38:59
we
38:59
all
38:59
know
38:59
and
38:59
love.
39:00
It's
39:01
time
39:01
to
39:01
segue
39:02
into
39:02
the
39:02
obligatory
39:02
Keanu
39:03
reference
39:03
of
39:04
this
39:04
episode,
39:05
and
39:05
if
39:06
you
39:06
don't
39:06
know
39:06
what
39:06
that
39:06
is,
39:07
it's
39:07
worried.
39:07
The
39:07
movie
39:08
then
39:08
featured
39:08
with
39:08
Keanu
39:09
Reeves
39:09
for
39:09
no
39:10
reason
39:10
other
39:10
than
39:10
he
39:11
is
39:11
the
39:11
best
39:11
of
39:11
men.
39:12
And
39:12
I
39:12
mean
39:13
surprisingly
39:13
easy
39:14
for
39:14
a
39:14
change.
39:15
Because
39:16
Keanu
39:17
will
39:17
obviously
39:17
turn
39:17
up
39:17
in
39:18
Sonic
39:18
the
39:18
Hedgehog
39:19
three
39:19
as
39:19
Shadow
39:20
the
39:20
Hedgehog,
39:21
but
39:21
technically
39:22
he
39:22
is
39:22
part
39:23
of
39:23
this
39:23
universe
39:24
now
39:24
in
39:25
this
39:25
movie.
39:26
We
39:26
just
39:26
haven't
39:26
met
39:27
him
39:27
yet.
39:27
Easy
39:28
way
39:28
to
39:28
link
39:28
Keanu
39:29
to
39:29
this
39:29
movie.
39:30
So
39:30
one
39:31
of
39:31
the
39:31
only
39:31
real
39:31
criticisms
39:32
that
39:32
I
39:33
see
39:33
about
39:33
this
39:33
movie,
39:34
apart
39:34
from
39:35
story
39:36
wise,
39:36
tends
39:37
to
39:37
kind
39:37
of
39:37
lean
39:37
more
39:38
towards
39:38
the
39:38
music,
39:39
and
39:39
the
39:39
score
39:40
by
39:40
Tom
39:40
Hulkenborg
39:41
didn't
39:42
really
39:42
lean
39:42
as
39:42
much
39:43
into
39:43
Sonic's
39:43
catalog
39:44
of
39:44
game
39:44
music
39:45
as
39:46
reviewers
39:46
of
39:46
the
39:47
music
39:47
might
39:47
like,
39:48
but
39:48
it's
39:48
still
39:49
a
39:49
fun
39:49
score
39:49
that
39:50
demonstrates
39:50
why
39:50
Hulkenborg
39:51
is
39:52
so
39:52
in
39:52
demand
39:52
as
39:53
a
39:53
film
39:53
composer.
39:54
He
39:54
does
39:55
attempt
39:55
to
39:55
pay
39:55
homage
39:56
to
39:56
Masato
39:56
Nakamura's
39:57
original
39:57
score
39:58
from
39:58
Sonic
39:58
the
39:58

39:59

that

synthetic

40:12
that's
40:12
trying
40:13
to
40:13
imitate
40:13
real
40:14
instruments.
40:15
The
40:15
score
40:15
ranges
40:16
from
40:16
orchestral
40:16
to
40:16

people

actually

really

liked

41:09
It
41:09
was

a

41:31
it

did
41:31
way
41:31
better
41:32
than

back
41:59
its

entire

42:00

42:51
who
42:52
I've
42:52
barely
42:52
mentioned
42:53
because
42:53
this
42:53
episode
42:54
is
42:54
already
42:54
busy
42:55
enough.
42:55
But
42:55
it's
42:56
fitting
42:56
for
42:56
a
42:56
very
42:57
90s
42:57
video
42:58
game
42:58
to
42:58
have
42:58
a
42:59
very
42:59
90s
43:00
leading
43:00
man
43:01
as
43:01
this
43:02
mad
43:02
maniacal
43:03
villain
43:03
with
43:03
evil
43:04
plotting
43:04
montages
43:05
and
43:05
dance
43:06
sequences.
43:06
And
43:07
Jim
43:07
Carrey
43:07
leans
43:08
into
43:08
Robotnik
43:09
even
43:09
more
43:09
in
43:09
the
43:09
sequels
43:10
and
43:11
it
43:11
is
43:11
wonderful
43:11
to
43:12
see
43:12
it
43:13
was
43:13
hard
43:13
to
43:14
see
43:14
a
43:14
future
43:14
for
43:15
the
43:15
original
43:15
ugly
43:16
Sonic.
43:17
Thanks
43:17
to
43:17
the
43:17
redesign,
43:18
we've
43:18
had
43:19
two
43:19
sequels
43:19
with
43:19
a
43:20
third
43:20
on
43:20
the
43:20
way,
43:21
plus
43:21
a
43:21
Knuckles
43:22
TV
43:22
series.
43:23
The
43:23
universe
43:24
has
43:24
grown
43:24
to
43:24
include
43:25
Tails,
43:25
played
43:26
by
43:26
original
43:26
Tales
43:27
voice
43:27
actor
43:27
Colleen
43:28
O'Shaughnessy,
43:29
Knuckles
43:29
played
43:30
by
43:30
Idris
43:30
Elba
43:31
and
43:31
of
43:31
course
43:32
Shadow,
43:32
played
43:32
by
43:32
Keanu
43:33
Reeves
43:34
with
43:34
Amy
43:34
Rose
43:35
and
43:35
Metal
43:35
Sonic,
43:36
due
43:36
to
43:36
appear
43:36
in
43:37
sonic
43:37
the
43:37
Hedgehog
43:38
4
43:38
due
43:38
out
43:39
in
43:39
2027.
43:40
But
43:41
don't
43:41
be
43:41
too
43:41
sad
43:42
for
43:42
ugly
43:42
Sonic
43:43
because
43:43
he
43:43
has
43:43
a
43:44
career
43:44
of
43:44
his
43:44
own
43:44
now,
43:45
technically
43:46
appearing
43:46
as
43:46
a
43:46
supporting
43:47
character
43:47
in
43:48
the
43:48
2022
43:48
film
43:49
Chip
43:49
and
43:49
Rescue
43:50
Rangers.
43:51
According
43:51
to
43:52
that
43:52
film's
43:52
director,
43:52
Akiva
43:53
Schafer,
43:54
they
43:54
had
43:54
also
43:55
used
43:55
Moving
43:55
Picture
43:56
Company
43:56
as
43:56
their
43:57
animation
43:57
studio.
43:58
An
43:58
NPC
43:59
was
43:59
able
43:59
to
43:59
provide
44:00
the
44:00
original
44:00
Sonic
44:01
model
44:01
for
44:01
the
44:01
film,
44:02
which
44:02
was
44:02
modified
44:03
slightly
44:04
for
44:04
his
44:04
guest
44:04
appearance,
44:05
which
44:05
also
44:06
came
44:06
as
44:06
a
44:06
rather
44:07
lovely
44:07
surprise
44:08
in
44:08
a
44:08
very
44:09
fun
44:09
movie.
44:09
Check
44:10
out
44:10
Chip
44:10
and
44:10
Dale
44:11

44:11

44:11

44:11
Disney
44:12
if
44:12
you
44:12
haven't
44:12
seen
44:13
it.
44:13
The
44:13
ugly
44:14
Sonic
44:14
character
44:15
was
44:15
voiced
44:15
in
44:15
that
44:15
movie
44:16
by
44:16
comedian
44:16
Tim
44:17
Robinson,
44:18
and
44:19
so
44:19
really,
44:20
it's
44:20
all's
44:21
well
44:21
that
44:21
ends
44:21
well
44:22
for
44:22
Sonic
44:22
the
44:23
Hedgehog.
44:23
One
44:24
of
44:24
the
44:24
very
44:24
first
44:24
episodes
44:25
of
44:25
this
44:25
podcast
44:26
was
44:26
an
44:26
episode
44:26
on
44:27
the
44:27
movie
44:27
Dread,
44:28
a
44:28
very
44:28
different
44:29
movie
44:29
to
44:29
Sonic
44:29
the
44:29
Hedgehog.
44:30
Don't
44:30
watch
44:31
that
44:31
one
44:31
with
44:31
your
44:31
kids.
44:32
But
44:32
Dread
44:33
and
44:33
Sonic
44:33
share
44:34
some
44:34
similarities,
44:35
and
44:35
that
44:35
is
44:36
their
44:36
respective
44:37
fandoms.
44:38
The
44:38
power
44:39
of
44:39
fandom
44:39
can
44:39
either
44:39
be
44:40
wielded
44:40
for
44:40
bad,
44:41
see
44:41
Star
44:42
wars
44:42
or
44:42
Justice
44:43
League
44:43
for
44:43
the
44:43
levels
44:43
of
44:43
toxicity
44:44
aimed
44:44
at
44:45
those
44:45
movies.
44:46
All
44:46
for
44:46
good.
44:47
Dread's
44:48
fan
44:48
campaign
44:48
to
44:49
get
44:49
a
44:49
sequel
44:49
may
44:49
not
44:50
have
44:50
had
44:50
its
44:50
desired
44:51
outcome,
44:51
but
44:52
the
44:52
outpouring
44:52
of
44:53
love
44:53
for
44:53
the
44:53
movie
44:54
saw
44:54
its
44:54
DVD
44:54
and
44:55
Blu
44:55
Ray
44:55
sales
44:56
skyrocket.
44:57
Sonic's
44:57
fandom
44:58
goes
44:58
back
44:58
to
44:58
1991,
45:00
and
45:00
he's
45:00
a
45:00
character
45:01
that
45:01
means
45:01
a
45:01
lot
45:01
to
45:02
a
45:02
generation
45:02
of
45:02
kids
45:03
who
45:03
had
45:03
mega
45:04
drives
45:04
like
45:05
me
45:05
or
45:05
Genesisses
45:07
Genocide.
45:08
Genesisses
45:09
Genesises
45:10
let's
45:10
go
45:11
with
45:11
Genesis.
45:12
While
45:13
his
45:13
video
45:13
game
45:14
output
45:14
is
45:14
of
45:14
varied
45:15
quality,
45:16
people
45:16
still
45:16
love
45:17
the
45:17
character.
45:17
They
45:18
love
45:18
his
45:18
cocky
45:19
personality.
45:20
Mario
45:21
could
45:21
never
45:21
tap
45:21
his
45:22
foot
45:22
waiting
45:22
for
45:22
you
45:23
to
45:23
make
45:23
a
45:23
move.
45:24
The
45:24
outpouring
45:25
of
45:25
criticism
45:25
to
45:26
the
45:26
original
45:26
design
45:26
was
45:27
unprecedented.
45:28
But
45:28
what
45:28
happened
45:29
next
45:29
was
45:29
even
45:30
more
45:30
so.
45:31
Paramount
45:32
and
45:32
Sega
45:33
agreed.
45:33
They
45:33
messed
45:34
up.
45:34
They
45:35
were
45:35
going
45:35
to
45:35
make
45:35
it
45:36
right.
45:36
And
45:37
they
45:37
did.
45:37
And
45:38
the
45:38
fans
45:38
were
45:38
so
45:39
grateful,
45:39
they
45:40
turned
45:40
up
45:40
to
45:40
the
45:40
cinema
45:41
to
45:41
see
45:41
it.
45:41
And
45:42
they
45:42
were,
45:42
for
45:42
the
45:43
most
45:43
part,
45:43
happy
45:44
with
45:44
what
45:44
they
45:44
saw.
45:45
While
45:46
the
45:46
first
45:46
Sonic
45:46
was
45:47
never
45:47
going
45:47
to
45:47
win
45:47
a
45:48
Best
45:48
Screenplay
45:48
Oscar,
45:49
it
45:49
did
45:49
what
45:50
it
45:50
needed
45:50
to
45:50
do.
45:51
It
45:51
introduced
45:51
Sonic
45:52
to
45:52
the
45:52
human
45:52
world,
45:53
made
45:53
him
45:54
sweet,
45:54
fun
45:54
and
45:55
sympathetic.
45:56
Gave
45:56
him
45:56
human
45:57
friends
45:57
in
45:57
Tom
45:57
and
45:58
his
45:58
wife
45:58
Maddie,
45:59
who
45:59
happens
45:59
to
46:00
be
46:00
a
46:00
vet.
46:00
Handy
46:01
that
46:01
James
46:02
Marsden
46:02
is
46:03
a
46:03
way
46:03
better
46:03
actor
46:03
than
46:04
many
46:04
give
46:04
him
46:04
credit
46:04
for.
46:05
And
46:05
he's
46:06
good
46:06
in
46:06
this
46:06
movie.
46:07
Tika
46:08
Sumpter's
46:08
Maddie
46:08
is
46:09
far
46:09
more
46:09
forgiving
46:10
of
46:10
her
46:10
husband's
46:10
antics
46:11
than
46:11
many
46:11
would
46:12
be.
46:12
And
46:12
my
46:13
only
46:13
real
46:13
question
46:13
is
46:14
we
46:14
never
46:14
understand
46:15
why
46:15
her
46:15
sister
46:15
Rachel
46:16
hates
46:17
Tom
46:17
so
46:17
much.
46:18
Tom's
46:18
not
46:19
a
46:19
bad
46:19
guy.
46:19
He
46:19
seems
46:20
like
46:20
a
46:20
good
46:20
cop.
46:21
Maybe
46:21
it's
46:22
that
46:22
he's
46:22
a
46:22
cop,
46:23
I
46:23
don't
46:23
know.
46:24
But
46:24
Rachel
46:24
seems
46:24
to
46:25
really
46:25
dislike
46:25
him
46:25
and
46:26
there's
46:26
no
46:26
obvious
46:27
reason
46:27
why.
46:28
But
46:28
we're
46:28
not
46:29
here
46:29
for
46:29
the
46:29
human
46:29
characters,
46:30
the
46:30
good
46:30
ones,
46:30
anyway.
46:31
We're
46:31
here
46:32
for
46:32
Robotnik.
46:33
And
46:33
in
46:33
the
46:33
pantheon
46:34
of
46:34
just
46:34
perfect
46:34
casting
46:35
choices,
46:36
we
46:36
have
46:36
Jim
46:36
Carrey
46:37
as
46:37
Dr.
46:37
Robotnik,
46:38
a
46:38
role
46:39
he
46:39
would
46:39
just
46:39
hone
46:40
in
46:40
future
46:40
movies.
46:41
And
46:41
if
46:41
you
46:41
haven't
46:41
seen
46:42
Sonic
46:42
3,
46:43
I
46:43
have.
46:44
He
46:44
pulls
46:45
double
46:45
duty
46:45
in
46:46
that
46:46
one.
46:46
And
46:47
he
46:47
is
46:47
just
46:47
having
46:48
the
46:48
time
46:48
of
46:48
his
46:49
life.
46:49
Considering
46:50
he'd
46:50
all
46:50
but
46:51
retired
46:51
only
46:51
to
46:52
come
46:52
back
46:52
as
46:52
Robotnik,
46:53
it's
46:53
just
46:53
an
46:53
absolute
46:54
masterstroke.
46:55
He
46:55
apparently
46:56
took
46:56
the
46:56
role
46:56
because
46:56
his
46:57
daughter
46:57
was
46:57
a
46:57
fan
46:58
of
46:58
the
46:58
games.
46:59
My
46:59
nephew
47:00
is
47:00
a
47:00
huge
47:00
fan
47:01
of
47:01
Sonic
47:01
the
47:01
Hedgehog
47:02
and
47:02
we
47:02
have
47:03
seen
47:03
all
47:03
three
47:03
Sonic
47:04
movies
47:04
together.
47:05
The
47:05
first
47:06
one
47:06
on
47:06
DVD
47:07
because
47:07
Covid,
47:08
and
47:08
the
47:08
next
47:08
two
47:09
in
47:09
the
47:09
cinemas.
47:10
And
47:10
he
47:10
also
47:11
loves
47:11
playing
47:11
the
47:12
old
47:12
Sonic
47:12
games
47:13
as
47:13
well.
47:13
He
47:13
has
47:14
a
47:14
little
47:14
mini
47:14
Mega
47:15
Drive
47:15
and
47:15
he
47:16
has,
47:16
I
47:16
believe,
47:17
sonic
47:17
the
47:17
hedgehog
47:18
2
47:18
on
47:18
that
47:18
little
47:18
mini
47:19
Mega
47:19
Drive.
47:20
And
47:20
he
47:20
loves
47:21
them.
47:21
He
47:21
loves
47:21
the
47:21
Sonic
47:22
games.
47:22
He
47:22
loves
47:23
retro
47:23
gaming,
47:23
just
47:23
generally
47:24
because
47:24
he's
47:24
really
47:25
that
47:25
cool.
47:25
He's
47:26
9
47:26
years
47:26
old
47:26
and
47:26
he's
47:27
cooler
47:27
than
47:27
me.
47:28
Sonic
47:28
is
47:29
that
47:29
intergenerational
47:30
hero
47:31
for
47:31
so
47:31
many
47:31
people.
47:32
Whether
47:32
you're
47:33
50
47:33
or
47:33
5,
47:34
you
47:34
can
47:35
enjoy
47:35
a
47:35
Sonic
47:35
the
47:36
Hedgehog
47:36
game
47:37
just
47:37
as
47:37
you
47:37
can
47:38
enjoy
47:38
a
47:38
Sonic
47:38
the
47:38
Hedgehog
47:39
movie
47:40
Ben
47:40
Schwartz
47:41
just
47:41
brings
47:41
a
47:41
joy
47:41
and
47:42
innocence
47:42
to
47:42
Sonic.
47:43
He's
47:43
just
47:44
a
47:44
kid,
47:44
all
47:44
wide
47:45
eyed
47:45
and
47:45
full
47:45
of
47:45
wonder,
47:46
but
47:47
also
47:47
so
47:47
fearful
47:48
of
47:48
being
47:48
found.
47:49
I
47:49
can't
47:50
imagine
47:50
that
47:50
coming
47:51
to
47:51
life
47:51
with
47:51
the
47:52
old
47:52
design
47:52
like
47:53
it
47:53
does
47:53
with
47:53
the
47:53
new
47:54
one.
47:54
And
47:54
while
47:55
a
47:55
sequel
47:55
was
47:55
never
47:56
guaranteed,
47:57
three
47:57
months
47:57
after
47:58
his
47:58
debut
47:58
in
47:59
May
47:59
2020,
48:00
Paramount
48:00
Pictures
48:01
announced
48:01
a
48:01
sequel
48:02
with
48:02
Fowler
48:02
returning
48:03
to
48:03
direct,
48:04
Pat
48:04
Casey
48:04
and
48:05
Josh
48:05
Miller
48:05
returning
48:05
to
48:06
write,
48:06
along
48:07
with
48:07
the
48:07
return
48:08
of
48:08
all
48:08
the
48:08
cast.
48:09
It's
48:10
rare
48:10
that
48:10
studios
48:11
will
48:11
listen
48:11
to
48:11
fan
48:12
concerns.
48:13
After
48:13
all,
48:13
redesigns
48:14
cost
48:14
time
48:15
and
48:15
money
48:15
and
48:16
moviemaking
48:16
is
48:17
a
48:17
business
48:17
first
48:18
and
48:18
foremost.
48:19
But
48:19
while
48:19
they
48:19
could
48:20
have
48:20
stuck
48:20
with
48:20
ugly
48:21
Sonic
48:21
and
48:21
had
48:21
a
48:22
Sonic
48:22
movie
48:23
people
48:23
would
48:23
go
48:23
to
48:24
see
48:24
just
48:24
to
48:24
hate
48:24
watch,
48:25
that
48:26
likely
48:26
would
48:26
have
48:26
just
48:26
been
48:26
a
48:27
one
48:27
and
48:27
done
48:28
and
48:28
potentially
48:29
tainted
48:29
the
48:29
series.
48:30
Paramount
48:31
took
48:31
the
48:31
approach
48:31
of
48:32
listening
48:32
to
48:32
fans
48:32
concern
48:33
and
48:33
ensuring
48:34
the
48:34
character
48:35
was
48:35
the
48:35
best
48:35
he
48:35
could
48:36
be
48:36
with
48:36
fans
48:37
wanting
48:37
to
48:37
watch
48:38
it
48:38
to
48:38
see
48:38
the
48:38
redesign,
48:39
making
48:40
a
48:40
fun
48:40
movie,
48:41
turning
48:41
a
48:41
profit
48:42
and
48:42
ensuring
48:43
the
48:43
future
48:44
for
48:44
the
48:44
franchise.
48:45
And
48:45
for
48:46
the
48:46
most
48:46
part,
48:46
fans
48:47
love
48:47
these
48:47
movies
48:47
and
48:48
they
48:48
only
48:48
seem
48:48
to
48:48
get
48:49
rated
48:49
higher
48:49
with
48:49
each
48:50
installment.
48:51
As
48:51
I
48:51
mentioned,
48:51
the
48:51
only
48:52
real
48:52
criticism
48:52
I
48:53
could
48:53
see
48:53
from
48:53
fans
48:53
was
48:54
that
48:54
they
48:54
wanted
48:54
more
48:55
Sonic
48:55
music.
48:56
But
48:56
while
48:56
these
48:57
movies
48:57
are
48:57
definitely
48:57
aimed
48:58
at
48:58
a
48:58
family
48:58
market
48:59
and
48:59
a
48:59
fan
49:00
market,
49:00
you
49:01
can
49:01
go
49:01
into
49:01
these
49:01
movies
49:02
blind
49:02
to
49:02
the
49:02
Sonic
49:03
lore
49:03
and
49:03
just
49:03
have
49:04
a
49:04
good
49:04
time.
49:05
Sonic
49:05
shows
49:06
emotion
49:06
and
49:06
vulnerability.
49:08
In
49:08
many
49:08
ways
49:09
this
49:09
is
49:09
the
49:09
poster
49:10
child,
49:10
the
49:10
positive
49:11
fandom
49:12
that
49:12
you
49:12
can
49:12
just
49:13
express
49:13
disappointment
49:14
in
49:14
something
49:14
online,
49:15
that
49:15
you
49:15
don't
49:16
have
49:16
to
49:16
resort
49:17
to
49:17
the
49:17
threats
49:17
and
49:17
vile
49:18
comments
49:18
of
49:18
other
49:18
fandoms
49:19
and
49:19
maybe
49:20
your
49:20
thoughts
49:20
will
49:21
be
49:21
read
49:21
and
49:21
understood
49:22
and
49:22
actioned
49:23
on
49:24
the
49:24
Blue
49:24
Devil
49:25
Is
49:25
Real.
49:25
And
49:26
thanks
49:26
to
49:26
the
49:26
fans
49:27
that
49:27
love
49:27
this
49:27
character
49:28
and
49:28
the
49:28
dedicated
49:29
team
49:29
of
49:29
visual
49:29
effects
49:30
artists,
49:31
he
49:31
actually
49:32
looks
49:32
like
49:32
Sonic
49:33
the
49:33
Hedgehog.
49:35

As

always,
50:17
give

50:18

50:18
Let
50:19
me
50:19
know
50:19
what
50:19
you
50:19
think.
50:21
The
50:21
next
50:21
Episode
50:22
it
50:22
is
50:22
a
50:22
movie
50:23
that
50:23
straight
50:23
up
50:23
made
50:24
me
50:24
want
50:24
to
50:24
become
50:24
a
50:24
nun
50:25
as
50:25
a
50:25
kid
50:26
because
50:26
it
50:26
made
50:27
nuns
50:27
really
50:27
cool
50:28
and
50:28
fun.
50:29
Now
50:29
obviously
50:30
I
50:30
was
50:30
a
50:30
kid,
50:31
I
50:31
didn't
50:31
realize
50:31
about
50:32
the
50:32
whole
50:32
being
50:32
Catholic
50:33
thing,
50:33
giving
50:34
up
50:34
your
50:34
worldly
50:34
goods
50:35
thing,
50:35
taking
50:36
vows
50:36
of
50:36
obedience
50:37
and
50:37
chastity.
50:38
I
50:39
am
50:39
not
50:39
very
50:39
good
50:39
at
50:40
either
50:40
of
50:40
those
50:40
things,
50:41
nor
50:41
am
50:41
I
50:42
Catholic,
50:42
but
50:43
Whoopi
50:44
Goldberg
50:44
made
50:45
me
50:45
want
50:45
to
50:45
become
50:46
a
50:46
nun.
50:46
The
50:47
movie
50:47
is
50:47
so
50:48
joyful.
50:49
The
50:49
next
50:49
episode,
50:50
I'm
50:50
so
50:50
excited
50:51
is
50:51
on
50:52
the
50:52
History
50:52
and
50:52
Legacy
50:53
of

Sister
50:54
act.
50:55
So
50:55
please
50:55

50:55

50:56
next
50:56
week
50:57

50:57
the
50:57
History
50:57
and
50:58
Legacy
50:58
of
50:58
Sister
50:59
act.
51:00
Now
51:00
this
51:00
podcast
51:01
is
51:01
free
51:01
and
51:02
it
51:02
always
51:02
will
51:02
be
51:02
free.
51:03
However,
51:03
unfortunately
51:04
it
51:04
is
51:04
not
51:05
free
51:05
to
51:05
