Speaker 1: The Large Nerd Drunk Collador Podcast is a production of
0:10
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio. Hey everybody, welcome to the Large Nerd
0:21
Speaker 1: Drunk Ladder podcast, the podcast that's all about the geeky
0:24
Speaker 1: things that are happening in the world around us and
0:26
Speaker 1: how very excited we are about them. I'm aerial casting
0:29
Speaker 1: and with me as always is Jonathan write some really
0:34
Speaker 1: weird titles for our articles. Strickland, Boy, Howdy, it sounds
0:38
Speaker 1: like you've done gone country arial and that knows you're
0:41
Speaker 1: a Yankee. That's true. But you see, I went larpin
0:46
Speaker 1: this weekend for the first time since the pandemic. Everybody
0:49
Speaker 1: vaxed and boosted and outdoors and safe and uh then
0:53
Speaker 1: when I told all my friends afterwards that I was
0:56
Speaker 1: working on my podcast today, they dared me to start
0:58
Speaker 1: off with my accent. So that's what you didn't tell
1:02
Speaker 1: me you were gonna do it either, So um yeah,
1:06
Speaker 1: now we we should also mention Ariel deserves an award.
1:10
Speaker 1: If there is a point where you can nominate Ariel
1:12
Speaker 1: for an award for podcasting while injured, you should do
1:17
Speaker 1: that for Ariel because she did not escape the LARPing unscathed. No,
1:22
Speaker 1: I got a pretty moderate to severe sprain on my ankle.
1:28
Speaker 1: Let me tell y'all, it looks real grotesque. She showed
1:33
Speaker 1: me a picture and I was like that, let me
1:36
Speaker 1: tell you, your ankle ain't supposed to be that color. Listen,
1:39
Speaker 1: as I told everybody after it happened. First thing Friday night,
1:43
Speaker 1: when the event started, I kicked the bad guy so
1:46
Speaker 1: hard in the butt I hurt my foot. Yeah. Well,
1:50
Speaker 1: and you have still had a good time to spite
1:52
Speaker 1: your injury, right, Yeah, yeah, I did, definitely. Well it's
1:56
Speaker 1: funny because that kind of leads us into a question
1:59
Speaker 1: I have for you. Okay, So Ariel, here's your question.
2:08
Speaker 1: What is one of your favorite RPGs that isn't d
2:12
Speaker 1: n d um you know that change that actually changed recently?
2:17
Speaker 1: So like my LARPs, I love them. Um. I don't
2:20
Speaker 1: know if they count though, because they're live action RPGs.
2:23
Speaker 1: I think so, I think you can count those. Uh well,
2:27
Speaker 1: I really am seeing okay with my I cannot pick
2:31
Speaker 1: a favorite larm I love them all. I love them all, um,
2:34
Speaker 1: But I'm really enjoying my latest two characters, which were
2:37
Speaker 1: industed Us where I played a barbarian and in this
2:41
Speaker 1: game where I'm basically playing Dean Winchester as a sexy
2:45
Speaker 1: cowboy girl in a horror western alternative history. Larm Um,
2:51
Speaker 1: the alternative history is important. Do you have sexy Dean Winchester?
2:57
Speaker 1: Sexy already? He is? He is? He is, But I
3:00
Speaker 1: wear like a corset in the jeans, and I got
3:01
Speaker 1: like every kind of gun imaginable. A character's name is
3:05
Speaker 1: Winchester and a corset. Oh my god, my character's name
3:10
Speaker 1: is Winnifred Chesterfield or Winchester. I love it. But if
3:18
Speaker 1: you're talking tabletop, it used to be seven Seas, but
3:21
Speaker 1: that's because that's like the first game I learned, and
3:23
Speaker 1: so it was the easiest system for me to learn.
3:25
Speaker 1: It's kind of like when you learn French or Spanish.
3:27
Speaker 1: Whichever one you start with is the one that's kind
3:29
Speaker 1: of easier for you to pick up. Um. But recently
3:32
Speaker 1: I've changed to Monster of the Week. I really enjoy
3:35
Speaker 1: that game, and it's, uh you always fail upwards, and
3:37
Speaker 1: that's why I like it. It's a system and even
3:41
Speaker 1: if you fail, you're always progressing. What about you? Uh? So,
3:48
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of an RPG called Paranoia. Are
3:52
Speaker 1: you familiar with it? I am. I've never played so so.
3:56
Speaker 1: Paranoia is an old school RPG table top pencil and
4:01
Speaker 1: paper RPG, and it's set in a dystopian future, but
4:06
Speaker 1: it has a dark sense of humor to it. So
4:09
Speaker 1: while you are in a future where everyone is paranoid,
4:13
Speaker 1: everyone is attempting to either increase their status and climb
4:19
Speaker 1: the social ladder or to completely undermine all of society. Uh. Meanwhile,
4:25
Speaker 1: they're suspecting everyone else of trying to do the same,
4:27
Speaker 1: and any of that is considered to be punishable by
4:31
Speaker 1: death because there is a crazy paranoid computer system that's
4:35
Speaker 1: in charge of everything, and everyone has I think like
4:38
Speaker 1: six lives if I'm not mistaken, Like you have clones,
4:42
Speaker 1: and I think you have up to five clones, so
4:44
Speaker 1: you have six lives, and after that you're dead. And
4:46
Speaker 1: chances are in any given adventure you're gonna lose at
4:49
Speaker 1: least a couple of your clones, uh in wacky ways.
4:53
Speaker 1: And it's just really the game system is there to
4:57
Speaker 1: play up on those dystopian ropes in a way that
5:01
Speaker 1: is absurd, like it really is a comedy, and also
5:06
Speaker 1: to create as much chaos as possible. The game is
5:10
Speaker 1: phenomenal if you have a gamemaster capable of running with it.
5:15
Speaker 1: It is a very challenging game to run well because
5:19
Speaker 1: it is all about creating chaos. So is it are
5:23
Speaker 1: they all one shots or is it like a campaign arc.
5:26
Speaker 1: I mean, you could try and do a campaign, but
5:29
Speaker 1: chances are most of the characters be dead by by,
5:33
Speaker 1: you know, like all of their lives would be gone
5:35
Speaker 1: by the time you're getting to like the Third Adventure, um,
5:39
Speaker 1: because it really does encourage you to turn on each
5:42
Speaker 1: other and to betray one another. Um. Everyone has ulterior motives,
5:48
Speaker 1: like there there are specific things that will immediately get
5:53
Speaker 1: you executed, and by design, your character has to have
5:57
Speaker 1: at least one of them. So it's it's a game
6:00
Speaker 1: designed for that kind of ridiculousness. Now, if you take
6:04
Speaker 1: things seriously, it is not the game for you. It
6:07
Speaker 1: is you're not gonna You're either gonna make everybody miserable
6:11
Speaker 1: the way you run it, or you're gonna be miserable
6:13
Speaker 1: playing the game. But yeah, definitely check it out if
6:17
Speaker 1: you get a chance. I am assuming it's I don't
6:19
Speaker 1: know if it's still available, but I'm sure there there
6:22
Speaker 1: are copies floating around on eBay and stuff, and it
6:27
Speaker 1: makes me want to make you play bs G the
6:29
Speaker 1: board game. You keep saying that, and it's one of
6:32
Speaker 1: those where I'm like, maybe I'd like the board game,
6:34
Speaker 1: but gosh, I never could get into the fake Battlestar Galactica.
6:39
Speaker 1: I love the I love the real one, you know,
6:41
Speaker 1: the one that play in the late seventies, but you
6:44
Speaker 1: know it's it's I would make sure you'd pick the
6:46
Speaker 1: right character so you didn't spend the entire first turn
6:48
Speaker 1: not playing. Um. But you know you said something important
6:51
Speaker 1: with paranoias, you have to have a good d M.
6:54
Speaker 1: You have to have good players. If you have that,
6:57
Speaker 1: if you've got a good group of people you're playing with,
7:00
Speaker 1: most games are a lot of fun. That's That's really
7:02
Speaker 1: where I find the fact we could we could have
7:05
Speaker 1: a whole conversation about that. In fact, I think we
7:07
Speaker 1: should do an episode at some point where we just
7:10
Speaker 1: have a deep conversation about the elements that make a
7:13
Speaker 1: game fun versus the kinds of things that can completely
7:16
Speaker 1: ruin a gaming experience. But but today is not the
7:20
Speaker 1: day to do that arial because we've got way too
7:22
Speaker 1: much news to get through it. Yes, we do so
7:26
Speaker 1: much news, in fact, that we cannot get through it,
7:29
Speaker 1: but let's try. First of all, we found out that
7:34
Speaker 1: and this is why I said Jonathan wrote some some
7:37
Speaker 1: confusing introductory lines for our articles because he wrote, Mamma Mia,
7:41
Speaker 1: the Super Brothers movie has been delayed, which, of course, yes,
7:45
Speaker 1: Mario says, Ma Mia. But also there's a musical Mamma Mia.
7:49
Speaker 1: And I read that Mamma Mia and Super Mario Brothers
7:52
Speaker 1: are going to be combined in Um, maybe I'm sleep
7:56
Speaker 1: deprived still from my LARP. I did write a cup
8:00
Speaker 1: full of different titles that have bits. Where as I
8:03
Speaker 1: was reading them back, I was like, you know, I
8:05
Speaker 1: didn't make this clear that these aren't the same thing.
8:08
Speaker 1: We're gonna have another one come up pretty soon. But yeah,
8:12
Speaker 1: So Miyamoto has apologized because the movie was supposed to
8:17
Speaker 1: come out this December and instead it will be coming
8:21
Speaker 1: out in April twenty twenty three. This is, of course,
8:24
Speaker 1: the animated movie with Chris Pratt as Mario. You know
8:29
Speaker 1: that broke the internet when that was first announced. I
8:32
Speaker 1: think people are still very upset about it. Um, but hey,
8:36
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about being subjected to it
8:38
Speaker 1: until April of next year. Listen. It does have some
8:43
Speaker 1: voice acting. I'm very excited about Charlie Day's Luigi Jack
8:46
Speaker 1: Black as Bowser, Like I'm, I'm, I'm for that. Yeah.
8:51
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are are all all
8:53
Speaker 1: about all the supporting characters and the antagonists, and they're
8:57
Speaker 1: just upset about Mario. Well, listen, I'm I'm and I understand,
9:01
Speaker 1: and I won't get into it. I'm waiting to hold
9:04
Speaker 1: I'm withholding judgment until it comes out, or at least
9:06
Speaker 1: the trailer comes out, because I thought I was going
9:08
Speaker 1: to be super into Andy Samberg and um John Mullandy
9:14
Speaker 1: is Chip and Dale, but they don't change their voices
9:16
Speaker 1: at all. And now that I've listened to it, it's upsetting. So,
9:19
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I can get that. Uh. Something else that's
9:24
Speaker 1: also maybe a little upsetting I'm certainly upset about it,
9:27
Speaker 1: is that we're also getting a delay for Spider Man
9:30
Speaker 1: Across the spider Verse, the next in the Spider Verse series,
9:33
Speaker 1: the animated series with Miles Morales as the protagonist. The
9:38
Speaker 1: first movie was maybe the best Spider Man movie that's
9:42
Speaker 1: ever been made. It's hard to argue. I'd have to
9:46
Speaker 1: agree it was. It was so good, it was so good.
9:48
Speaker 1: And this sequel is actually too harder. The thing for
9:51
Speaker 1: me is like I would like them to delay it
9:54
Speaker 1: if it means we're going to get a better product,
9:55
Speaker 1: and I trust them that maybe that's it. They want
9:58
Speaker 1: to make sure to give us something that's done well.
10:01
Speaker 1: Or it could be that they yeah, Maybe it's yeah,
10:03
Speaker 1: because it's delay until June two, twenty three. I don't
10:06
Speaker 1: think I mentioned that, But it might also be that
10:09
Speaker 1: it's it's literally Sony trying to slot it in where
10:13
Speaker 1: there might be a lull in Sony's release schedule and
10:17
Speaker 1: that they need a big, tent pole picture to go there.
10:20
Speaker 1: It may also be that it's literally one of those
10:23
Speaker 1: things where Sony said, you know, considering the incredible acclaim
10:27
Speaker 1: the first film got and how much love it got
10:30
Speaker 1: once people started seeing it, I think that was one
10:32
Speaker 1: of those movies that really ended up flourishing once it
10:36
Speaker 1: started streaming. Because I'm not sure. I don't know how
10:39
Speaker 1: well it did at the box office, but goodness knows,
10:42
Speaker 1: once it was available for streaming, everyone was talking about it.
10:45
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know how. I don't recall how
10:47
Speaker 1: it did in the box office. I do recall that
10:48
Speaker 1: I felt it was very under market in, which is
10:53
Speaker 1: a rare thing to say. Um. Instead, in October, we'll
10:56
Speaker 1: be getting Le Le Crocodile, which is a live action
10:59
Speaker 1: c g I musical comedy based on a children's book.
11:02
Speaker 1: It's a children's book. I like. They've actually been filming
11:04
Speaker 1: it for a while in Atlanta. Um. I've seen a
11:06
Speaker 1: lot of calls for background come through on it. Um.
11:10
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's just I mean, I'm sure it will
11:13
Speaker 1: be adorable, but it's not going to be Spider Man
11:16
Speaker 1: Across the Spider Worst. Unless it is the craziest marketing
11:20
Speaker 1: we've ever seen, that would be interesting. We do have
11:24
Speaker 1: a couple more Sony stories to get through. One is
11:28
Speaker 1: that they are continuing their expansion of their part of
11:31
Speaker 1: the Marvel Cinematic universe. Remember, Sony has ownership of essentially
11:37
Speaker 1: all the characters connected to Spider Man, including ones that
11:41
Speaker 1: haven't been connected to Spider Man very much at all,
11:44
Speaker 1: which includes El Muerto, a pro wrestler masked uh anti
11:52
Speaker 1: hero character uh. And he is going to get his
11:56
Speaker 1: own movie, portrayed by the rap artist Bad Money, who
12:00
Speaker 1: I know as a celebrity who sometimes wrestles in the
12:04
Speaker 1: w w E. Yeah, so that's the thing like Spider
12:07
Speaker 1: Man did get in the ring with elm Wuerto in
12:09
Speaker 1: the comic books. I'm not very familiar with the character.
12:12
Speaker 1: It's just I've read that on artist um, but I
12:16
Speaker 1: that's that's crazy to me. I was like, bad Bunny,
12:18
Speaker 1: he's just a rapper, But yeah, he's really good at
12:21
Speaker 1: w w E. Like that's it was my mind. Yeah,
12:25
Speaker 1: it's funny because the article talked about how he might
12:27
Speaker 1: be the best celebrity and whoever competed at w w E.
12:31
Speaker 1: I think that might actually be up for debate because
12:34
Speaker 1: as much as I don't like him as a person,
12:36
Speaker 1: Logan Paul apparently did an amazing job at WrestleMania, so
12:41
Speaker 1: you know there's some competition there. But yeah, I think
12:45
Speaker 1: it's interesting. Like in some ways, I think this gives
12:49
Speaker 1: Sony more opportunities to play around with characters, because if
12:54
Speaker 1: it's characters that most people don't know about, then you've
12:57
Speaker 1: got a lot more leeway to take liberties and not
13:00
Speaker 1: upset people. Of course, you could say that about Morbus
13:03
Speaker 1: and everybody pretty much poop pooed all over more Bus. Yeah,
13:08
Speaker 1: but this has this has an actor in it that
13:11
Speaker 1: I care about a little bit more not that not unfair.
13:16
Speaker 1: And also I like Mexican wrestling, so involve so do
13:20
Speaker 1: I Yeah, Luchadora for Life. Maybe. Well let's why don't
13:24
Speaker 1: you tell everybody what the title is for the next one,
13:26
Speaker 1: because I bet this one confused you too, it really did.
13:29
Speaker 1: Sony announced his third Venom film sequel to Ghostbusters Afterlife,
13:32
Speaker 1: and I, yeah, just sounds I was like, wait what
13:37
Speaker 1: like what like? They announced both a third Venom film
13:45
Speaker 1: and a sequel to Ghostbusters After Life, not that the
13:49
Speaker 1: third Venom film was the sequel to Ghostbusters Afterlife? Right
13:53
Speaker 1: for a living? My friend, there's a tramma there. Anyhow,
13:59
Speaker 1: That's how headlines read. We're getting a third Venom film,
14:04
Speaker 1: which I think Jonathan I have. Jonathan and I have
14:08
Speaker 1: talked about this on the show. We didn't think the
14:10
Speaker 1: second one got as good of reviews is the first one.
14:12
Speaker 1: But AVY Club thinks they got great reviews and that
14:14
Speaker 1: it was a good movie. Yeah. No, It's funny because
14:16
Speaker 1: the person who wrote the A V Club article said like, oh,
14:19
Speaker 1: the second movie was even better, And then if you
14:21
Speaker 1: read the comments, there are a lot of people saying
14:24
Speaker 1: did you see the second movie? But I mean the
14:29
Speaker 1: Venom film does not surprise me because they alluded to
14:34
Speaker 1: it already and other Sony films um and Ghostbusters Afterlife. Like,
14:44
Speaker 1: I'm really torn. I enjoyed Ghostbusters after Life. I thought
14:47
Speaker 1: it was a charming tribute to the original series, um
14:52
Speaker 1: and I could see the characters going off and doing
14:55
Speaker 1: new things. But it won't be the same and it
14:58
Speaker 1: shouldn't be the same. Yeah. Uh, I have still not
15:02
Speaker 1: seen Ghostbusters After Life. I do need to watch that,
15:04
Speaker 1: but it's It's also one where a lot of the
15:07
Speaker 1: reviewers I follow criticized it for being a little too
15:11
Speaker 1: precious about the original Ghostbusters and that it was a
15:15
Speaker 1: bit too much referential and fans service e of that
15:20
Speaker 1: like it. It didn't. It didn't strike out on its
15:23
Speaker 1: own enough. But I haven't seen it, so I don't
15:25
Speaker 1: know if I agree with that or not. Um. I
15:28
Speaker 1: mean if that this means that whatever film we get
15:31
Speaker 1: that is a sequel to Ghostbusters After Life is more
15:35
Speaker 1: of its own thing and carries on the spirit of Ghostbusters,
15:39
Speaker 1: perhaps without making Ghostbusters seem like it was all about
15:43
Speaker 1: warm and sappy and loving and everything, and get more
15:48
Speaker 1: to like the kind of snarky humor stuff. I'm okay
15:51
Speaker 1: with that too, but we'll have to wait and see.
15:54
Speaker 1: They just need to get Ryan Reynolds to write it.
15:57
Speaker 1: It'll be fine. Now, you know what, I don't disagree.
16:00
Speaker 1: Ryan Reynolds could probably write a really, really amazing Ghostbusters film. Um,
16:05
Speaker 1: while we think on that, we're going to take a
16:08
Speaker 1: quick break and when we come back, we've got a
16:10
Speaker 1: whole mess of more news to talk about. All right,
16:25
Speaker 1: we're back, and our first our first thing we have
16:28
Speaker 1: to talk about in the second segment is something that
16:31
Speaker 1: makes Jonathan and I I'm well, I haven't actually talked
16:34
Speaker 1: to nothing about it, but I'm assuming, knowing his love
16:36
Speaker 1: for the property, very very very very very very very
16:40
Speaker 1: very very sad. Yeah, you started to sound like Lucy
16:44
Speaker 1: and the Charlie Brown musical there. Well, that's appropriate. She's
16:49
Speaker 1: writing her book report on Peter Rabbit and she uses
16:51
Speaker 1: very a billion times to fill out the hundred words. Um. Yeah,
16:55
Speaker 1: it wasn't on purpose, but it's appropriate. The announcement. It's
16:59
Speaker 1: part of a big shake up that Netflix had with
17:02
Speaker 1: its animation department. Netflix right now is going through a
17:06
Speaker 1: real crisis, but this is only partly connected to that.
17:11
Speaker 1: But one of the casualties of this shake up in
17:15
Speaker 1: the animation department is that the long awaited adaptation of
17:20
Speaker 1: the graphic novel series Bone has been canceled and we
17:25
Speaker 1: were going to get an animated Bone movie and now
17:28
Speaker 1: we're not. And for those who haven't read, Bone is
17:32
Speaker 1: a charming fantasy series and I was really looking forward
17:39
Speaker 1: to seeing an adaptation of Me Too, especially because Jeff
17:42
Speaker 1: Smith the writer was like thrilled by the by the
17:47
Speaker 1: team he got together. It was like his dream team.
17:49
Speaker 1: He had all the pandemic to build up this perfect
17:52
Speaker 1: team and then chaos. Uh. The reason why it's appropriate
17:56
Speaker 1: to Charlie Brown and Lucy is because he kind of
18:00
Speaker 1: announced that it was not happening and his frustration at
18:05
Speaker 1: the multiple attempts to launch a Bone cartoon or show
18:09
Speaker 1: or whatnot or movie by doing a spoof on a
18:13
Speaker 1: Charlie Brown cartoon where Lucy pulls the football away from
18:16
Speaker 1: Charlie Brown repeatedly and it ends with never again. And
18:19
Speaker 1: I hope that it's just frustration talking and not that
18:22
Speaker 1: he will never again attempt like agree to possibly do
18:27
Speaker 1: a Bone cartoon, because I really do want to see
18:29
Speaker 1: it off of the page and on the screen. Any
18:35
Speaker 1: other comic. Yeah, I can't imagine how disheartening the situation
18:41
Speaker 1: is and how how it takes the wind out of
18:43
Speaker 1: your sales, like, especially when something had that much steam
18:48
Speaker 1: behind it. When you've got to the point where a
18:52
Speaker 1: streaming platform announces that that's in development, then you're probably
18:58
Speaker 1: working under the assumption that, yeah, this is to go
19:00
Speaker 1: to completion, and for that to that rug to get
19:02
Speaker 1: pulled out from under you, super super hard news. So yeah,
19:07
Speaker 1: we're we're bummed to hear about it. But what I
19:09
Speaker 1: will say is you can still go out there and
19:12
Speaker 1: buy like the full collection of Bone, and you should
19:14
Speaker 1: because it's fantastic. Yes, he's got a new series that
19:18
Speaker 1: I want to I want to look at and watch
19:21
Speaker 1: as well. So or look read not watch read. So
19:25
Speaker 1: our next story actually reminds me of a different movie.
19:28
Speaker 1: But why don't you introduce this one? Because I always
19:32
Speaker 1: screw up pronouncing his name, Well, I'm not gonna do
19:36
Speaker 1: any better. Jonathan Joe Manglianello man didn't yellow look it up.
19:46
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I look it up and then it
19:48
Speaker 1: falls out of my brain. I am so sorry, Joe.
19:51
Speaker 1: I've met the man. I got stickered by him when
19:54
Speaker 1: he was on true blood and yet I still can't
19:56
Speaker 1: pronounce his last name. Um, he wouldn't remember me. It
19:59
Speaker 1: was is a very brief interaction. But he has been
20:04
Speaker 1: brought onto a movie, a dark comedy that's being made
20:07
Speaker 1: called The Kill Room Samuel L. Jackson and Uma Thurman. Um,
20:12
Speaker 1: and that just sounds like a great team to do
20:15
Speaker 1: a dark hitman style comedy movie. Yeah. Apparently part of
20:20
Speaker 1: the story involves like he's playing a hit man, and
20:23
Speaker 1: Uma Thurman is playing a like art exhibit owner like
20:29
Speaker 1: she she exhibits art. Uh. And Sam Jackson is like,
20:34
Speaker 1: I think, an underground like criminal type. And then Uma
20:38
Speaker 1: Thurman is involved in the criminal types. And then through
20:41
Speaker 1: some shenanigans, Joe's character as a hit man during a
20:47
Speaker 1: hit something ends up happening where his his actions are
20:52
Speaker 1: misinterpreted as art and he becomes the darling of the
20:56
Speaker 1: art world. And the reason why I said this is
20:59
Speaker 1: making me think of an other movie is it reminds
21:01
Speaker 1: me a lot of from a very high level of
21:04
Speaker 1: the premise of Kiss, Kiss Bang Bang. Have you ever
21:06
Speaker 1: seen Kiss Kiss Bang Bang? No? I haven't. The only like,
21:10
Speaker 1: the only heist art movie I can think of. His
21:14
Speaker 1: Hudson Hawk well, no, this isn't a highest art movie,
21:17
Speaker 1: but it's similar in that it's someone who's mistaken for
21:20
Speaker 1: being something else. Robert Dunney Jr. And Kiss Kiss Bang
21:23
Speaker 1: Bang plays a thief and in the very beginning of
21:26
Speaker 1: the movie, Um, he gets shot while he's trying to
21:32
Speaker 1: pull off a job. And while he's trying to get
21:34
Speaker 1: away from uh being caught, he ducks into a room
21:40
Speaker 1: and it turns out it's a casting session for a character.
21:45
Speaker 1: And because he's been shot, he's in a huge amount
21:47
Speaker 1: of pain, and he's distracted, and he's scared, and he's
21:51
Speaker 1: he's he's kind of out of out of his element.
21:54
Speaker 1: He ends up reading for this role and his energy
21:58
Speaker 1: so impressive the casting directors that they want to put
22:02
Speaker 1: him in the movie. And um, and so that's what
22:07
Speaker 1: makes me think about it. It's like it's a character
22:10
Speaker 1: who is involved in a u a criminal enterprise who
22:16
Speaker 1: is then misinterpreted as being an artist. By the way,
22:21
Speaker 1: phenomenal movie. Yes, yeah, kind of like check out uh
22:27
Speaker 1: which Back for Barry. Barry has started its third season
22:31
Speaker 1: and its first episode is a banger. Well I am
22:35
Speaker 1: I am way behind on Barry, so don't spail it
22:38
Speaker 1: spoil it for me for anybody who listens who doesn't
22:40
Speaker 1: know about Barry. It's Bill Hayter. It's an HBO show.
22:42
Speaker 1: Bill Hayter is a hitman and he gets assigned to
22:47
Speaker 1: knockoff an actor and then gets sucked into an acting
22:51
Speaker 1: class and wants to leave the hitman world and become
22:52
Speaker 1: an actor. It's it's hilarious, and it's dark, and on
22:55
Speaker 1: the acting side of it, some of it hits really true. Yeah,
22:59
Speaker 1: it's it's hilariously, it's dark, and it's and it's also tragic. Um,
23:03
Speaker 1: but I will say no more. Yes, okay, Uh think
23:07
Speaker 1: to lighten the mood, let's talk about Disney's new docuse series,
23:11
Speaker 1: Sketch Book. Yeah, this one, I told Ariel when I
23:15
Speaker 1: watched the trailer for it. It actually got me emotional. Uh.
23:19
Speaker 1: It's a it's a docuseries where Disney artists talk about
23:23
Speaker 1: how to draw iconic Disney characters, and they also talk
23:29
Speaker 1: about their own kind of journey into becoming artists and animators,
23:35
Speaker 1: and they talk about the power of animation. And as
23:39
Speaker 1: someone who has been a lifelong fan of animation, particularly
23:42
Speaker 1: hand drawn animation, it really spoke to me. Um and
23:47
Speaker 1: it was really powerful, and I really liked the trailer.
23:53
Speaker 1: I look forward to actually watching the series, even though
23:55
Speaker 1: I don't I can't draw worth a lick. I can draw.
23:59
Speaker 1: I probably could draw a lot better if I had
24:02
Speaker 1: focused more on it, but my mom was very kind
24:04
Speaker 1: and taught me how to draw. My mom's a children's
24:06
Speaker 1: illustrator and painter, and I love her work. Um, but
24:11
Speaker 1: it's especially meaningful to me for such a dumb reason.
24:14
Speaker 1: My first trip to Disney, we took a tour through
24:18
Speaker 1: the studio. This is back when they still had two
24:19
Speaker 1: D animation, and I saw people working on Aladdin, and
24:23
Speaker 1: I think my dad knew one of them. So I
24:27
Speaker 1: don't know it just I don't remember much of it,
24:30
Speaker 1: but just the fact that I had that experience is
24:32
Speaker 1: still so magical to me to this day that I'm
24:35
Speaker 1: I'm glad to almost get to revisit it. Yeah, back
24:38
Speaker 1: in the day, back when it was called MGM Studios,
24:41
Speaker 1: not Disney's Hollywood Studios, they had an animator pavilion where
24:47
Speaker 1: you could go through and tour. They had a video
24:51
Speaker 1: that was hosted by Robin Williams and Walter Cronkite and
24:55
Speaker 1: was hilarious. This is pre Genie Robin Williams, but still
25:01
Speaker 1: very very funny. And yeah, I went through that tour
25:04
Speaker 1: a few times, and I saw them working on several
25:07
Speaker 1: animated films before they shut down the Florida division of
25:12
Speaker 1: the Animation Studios and before they kind of moved away
25:15
Speaker 1: from two D animation hand drawn animation. UM, so I
25:19
Speaker 1: saw them working on stuff like, uh, the Lion King
25:24
Speaker 1: and things like that. Yeah. I I'm looking forward to
25:27
Speaker 1: seeing this, um, just from the perspective of seeing artists
25:32
Speaker 1: at work and talking about art. And this docuseries comes
25:36
Speaker 1: out a which is uh, the day before you're listening
25:40
Speaker 1: to this, so you can just jump right in and
25:42
Speaker 1: watch it if you have interest, take it away, Jonathan. Okay, So,
25:47
Speaker 1: something I got interested in is that there's gonna be
25:50
Speaker 1: a new Monkey Island game. We heard about this a
25:52
Speaker 1: few weeks ago, UM that we're going to get a
25:56
Speaker 1: new Monkey Island game that ignores all the Monkey Island
25:59
Speaker 1: games after Monkey Island too, um, and uh it's so's
26:05
Speaker 1: it'll kind of be Monkey Island three for real Z's
26:08
Speaker 1: um because the original creator of Monkey Island is back
26:11
Speaker 1: working on it. He was not part of the post
26:14
Speaker 1: Monkey Island two games. If you're not familiar with the
26:17
Speaker 1: Monkey Island games, it is a series of click adventures
26:22
Speaker 1: where you play as Guybrush Threepwood would be pirate, and
26:28
Speaker 1: he has lots of amazing talents, like he can hold
26:30
Speaker 1: his breath for ten minutes. And it's a point and
26:34
Speaker 1: click adventure, so you're doing lots of stuff like picking
26:38
Speaker 1: things up and trying to use them and trying to
26:40
Speaker 1: combine them since you can try and solve puzzles and um,
26:44
Speaker 1: and it's it's known for its humor. It's a it's
26:46
Speaker 1: a game that has a lot of really silly jokes
26:49
Speaker 1: in it, usually a lot of references to Lucas Arts
26:53
Speaker 1: stuff because it was a Lucas Arts game, um or
26:57
Speaker 1: game series. Well, anyway, the news we have is that
27:00
Speaker 1: this one is going to have a built in hint system,
27:04
Speaker 1: and the reason for that is so point click adventure
27:08
Speaker 1: games tend to be really hard. If I can't, I
27:11
Speaker 1: can't beat it. I can't beat it. I've never beat
27:13
Speaker 1: Monkey Island. I have, but boy it is not easy.
27:19
Speaker 1: Um and often you did need hints because some of
27:22
Speaker 1: the puzzle solutions are very unintuitive, like you have to
27:27
Speaker 1: you know. Sometimes it just is one of those things
27:29
Speaker 1: where like, oh, you didn't pick up that one item,
27:32
Speaker 1: that's twenty screens back, and that's why you can't get
27:35
Speaker 1: through this puzzle. So, uh, they didn't want people to
27:39
Speaker 1: just go and look up you know, walk throughs, or
27:42
Speaker 1: watch some other one person play the game. They want
27:45
Speaker 1: people to play the game. So they're gonna have a
27:47
Speaker 1: built in hint system and it will likely be written
27:50
Speaker 1: in such a way that a lot of the comedy
27:53
Speaker 1: and and charm comes through with the hints as well,
27:56
Speaker 1: so it'll be a good fit for the game. I'm
28:00
Speaker 1: I'm excited to play it. Maybe maybe I'll actually complete
28:04
Speaker 1: a But I mean they've got like the in the
28:06
Speaker 1: first one, is it the first one where they sing
28:08
Speaker 1: the pirate song? He has to help with the pirates
28:10
Speaker 1: song and finish it. Um, that might be the third one.
28:14
Speaker 1: It's hard for me to remember. There are a couple,
28:16
Speaker 1: so there are a couple of things that come back
28:18
Speaker 1: over and over. Singing pirates are one of them. Another
28:21
Speaker 1: is that when you're fencing, part of fencing is it's
28:25
Speaker 1: all about insults, So you are insulting your opponent and
28:31
Speaker 1: if your opponent has no comeback, then you make progress
28:36
Speaker 1: against your opponent. But if your opponent has a comeback,
28:38
Speaker 1: they make progress against you. So you have to learn
28:41
Speaker 1: all the proper comebacks for all the different insults. Uh.
28:44
Speaker 1: And that's how you build up your ability to be
28:47
Speaker 1: a great fighter, which is just kind of a fun mechanic. Yeah,
28:51
Speaker 1: I'm certain this will be in my house, so I'm
28:53
Speaker 1: certain I will try to play it well. Like we said,
28:57
Speaker 1: we had a lot more news, including our reaction to
29:00
Speaker 1: the trailer for Bodies, Bodies, Bodies, where I don't think
29:02
Speaker 1: Ariel Night we both are of the same opinion, which
29:05
Speaker 1: is like, we aren't sure if this is going to
29:07
Speaker 1: be something we really dig or something that just irritates
29:09
Speaker 1: the pants off us. Yeah. Yeah, it's, um, well let's
29:13
Speaker 1: we've got like two minutes, let's get into it real quick. Uh.
29:16
Speaker 1: It's it's a college slasher movie that plays on the comedy.
29:20
Speaker 1: It feels kind of like they're trying to be scream
29:23
Speaker 1: like and it's got Pete Davidson, So I don't know
29:27
Speaker 1: if they're going to succeed or if it's just going
29:29
Speaker 1: to be two spoon feedie of the ridiculousness of it. Well,
29:37
Speaker 1: they're they're also they're clearly playing up things like, you know,
29:42
Speaker 1: how people say they can be triggered or you're toxic,
29:46
Speaker 1: or you know, the kind of things that typically fall
29:50
Speaker 1: into conversations when you're trying to express how something ain't
29:54
Speaker 1: going the right way. But they're obviously doing it as
29:57
Speaker 1: kind of a joke about how people might over you
30:00
Speaker 1: use those terms or misuse those terms. And I feel
30:03
Speaker 1: a little uneasy about that because I often feel that
30:07
Speaker 1: it can it can become kind of like joking about
30:10
Speaker 1: political correctness, right, this idea that oh, you know, obviously
30:14
Speaker 1: you can take this to an extreme, and that extreme
30:17
Speaker 1: is not good. But if you if you just dismiss
30:22
Speaker 1: it out of hand, what you're really saying is I
30:24
Speaker 1: should be allowed to say whatever I want about whomever
30:27
Speaker 1: I want, to whomever I want and not have any consequences.
30:31
Speaker 1: And I don't think that's true either, So um yeah,
30:35
Speaker 1: I think I kind of have to see the movie
30:37
Speaker 1: to find out whether or not it handles it well,
30:39
Speaker 1: or if I watch it and just go, well, this
30:41
Speaker 1: is this feels as ounnoxious as that trailer where what
30:45
Speaker 1: was it for Texas Chainsaw Massacre where leather Face comes
30:49
Speaker 1: up on the bus and everyone's shooting leather face with
30:52
Speaker 1: their their phones and uh. One guy says, if you
30:55
Speaker 1: take another step, you're canceled, and I'm like, oh, please please,
31:00
Speaker 1: Like I get that they're trying to keep things modern,
31:02
Speaker 1: but at the same time, yeah, there's there's a good
31:05
Speaker 1: way and a bad way to do it. I may
31:07
Speaker 1: not watch this movie. I Well, it depends on how
31:10
Speaker 1: scary it is, um, But also I might read the
31:13
Speaker 1: reviews first to see what they say about it before
31:15
Speaker 1: I put a couple of hours into it. I do
31:18
Speaker 1: like that some of the reactions are things like, this
31:20
Speaker 1: is the most gen Z horror trailer I've ever seen.
31:24
Speaker 1: That is true, That is so true, And maybe maybe
31:27
Speaker 1: that's just a part of what's rubbing us the wrong way, Jonathan,
31:29
Speaker 1: because I am not gen Z. I am a zennial,
31:33
Speaker 1: so firmly in gen X, so I'm super, super grouchy
31:39
Speaker 1: and ironic. So while I ironically go to break, when
31:44
Speaker 1: we come back, we've got some fun mash ups um,
31:48
Speaker 1: and mine's a very long one, so I'll be going
31:51
Speaker 1: first this time. But first let's take this break, okay, Ariel,
32:11
Speaker 1: we need to talk about what properties were mashing up today.
32:16
Speaker 1: It's Supernatural and Spider Man talked about it. Okay, so
32:21
Speaker 1: let me let me explain Supernatural for anyone who is
32:24
Speaker 1: not familiar. U. Supernatural was a very long running television series.
32:30
Speaker 1: Some might say it ran a little too long. Uh that. Um,
32:35
Speaker 1: that was both an incredible story of two brothers who
32:39
Speaker 1: were endlessly entertaining, Like their dynamic, the actors dynamic on
32:45
Speaker 1: screen was the stuff of legend, Like it's the kind
32:48
Speaker 1: of magic that you hope for when you're casting a series.
32:53
Speaker 1: And it was also a clever way to promote the
32:56
Speaker 1: ever love and heck out of Kansas is carry On
33:00
Speaker 1: My Wayward Son, which is played at the end of
33:03
Speaker 1: every season. Um. There are a lot of jokes about
33:06
Speaker 1: the Supernatural series, Like the main characters, Dean and Sam Winchester,
33:11
Speaker 1: are brothers who are monster hunters. Um. And like there's
33:15
Speaker 1: a long running joke that at the end of every season,
33:17
Speaker 1: at least one of the two dies and at the
33:20
Speaker 1: beginning of the next season both come back, but they're
33:24
Speaker 1: different now, Like that's like every every season, and um,
33:30
Speaker 1: there are a lot of Monster of the Week episodes,
33:32
Speaker 1: but there's also like over over arching storylines that guide
33:36
Speaker 1: season by season. Yeah, it's interesting because this is a
33:39
Speaker 1: show that had a very definite end and then went
33:43
Speaker 1: ten seasons past it because the network said, no, you're
33:46
Speaker 1: not stopping um. But the writer originally attended it to
33:50
Speaker 1: be I think like a three or five year arc
33:53
Speaker 1: and that was it, and then they went on too,
33:55
Speaker 1: I think, to fifteen seasons and the best episode, Like
33:58
Speaker 1: some of the series episodes are good, but the best
33:59
Speaker 1: episodes are always when they go meta or pick on themselves,
34:02
Speaker 1: like when they have a musical episode, or they all
34:04
Speaker 1: get sucked into a black and white movie with classic
34:07
Speaker 1: horror monsters, or or they go into a science fiction
34:10
Speaker 1: convention that is celebrating a series of novels that are
34:14
Speaker 1: based off their actual adventures. Yeah, or they get sucked
34:17
Speaker 1: into the real world where they're on a film set
34:19
Speaker 1: and they're Jensen Nackles and Jared Padalecki, which is funny
34:23
Speaker 1: because one of the demons in the earlier seasons uh
34:26
Speaker 1: is actually married to one of the two actors, and
34:28
Speaker 1: she plays his wife in the real world. Um, but
34:31
Speaker 1: they think she's a demon because they're not from the
34:33
Speaker 1: real world, they're from the It's it's just ridiculous and
34:35
Speaker 1: fun Whenever they get tongue in cheek with it. It's
34:38
Speaker 1: a blast um. And then you know, Spider Man, We've
34:40
Speaker 1: talked about Spider Man. We talked about it earlier this episode,
34:43
Speaker 1: we've talked, we've mashed it up before. So yeah, Spider Man. Yes,
34:49
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna do mine first because mine is a
34:52
Speaker 1: is an epic. Uh sorry, Tarry. Mine is titled The
34:56
Speaker 1: Spectacular Spider Dean, and it goes something like this. Dean
35:02
Speaker 1: Winchester has a problem. See when he and his brother
35:05
Speaker 1: Sam were out hunting an evil witch, a male which
35:09
Speaker 1: not that it matters, but I just want to point
35:11
Speaker 1: out that in supernatural, which is could be female or
35:14
Speaker 1: male or presumably non binary anyway. While seeking him out,
35:19
Speaker 1: the brothers have to explore an old barn, and inside
35:22
Speaker 1: the barn, a spider ensorceled by enchantment, descends from the
35:26
Speaker 1: rafters and lands on the back of Dean's hand, and
35:29
Speaker 1: before we can swat it off, it bites him. Now.
35:32
Speaker 1: The bite shocks Dean and he squishes the spider while
35:35
Speaker 1: also letting out a high pitched yelp, which Sam quickly
35:40
Speaker 1: teases him for, and the two continued their hunt, eventually
35:43
Speaker 1: tracking down the witch and then almost losing a fight,
35:46
Speaker 1: but then they win the fight, kind of like how
35:49
Speaker 1: of Supernatural episodes end, and as they are driving off,
35:53
Speaker 1: Dean starts to feel a little woozy, and Sam knows
35:55
Speaker 1: it's serious when Dean pulls the Impala over onto the
35:58
Speaker 1: shoulder of the road and Sam looks at Dean's hand
36:01
Speaker 1: and sees that the bite is raised up a bit
36:03
Speaker 1: and the bite marks look pretty bad, and Sam says,
36:06
Speaker 1: we need to get you to a hospital. Dean says,
36:09
Speaker 1: I'll be fine, and then Sam says, well, we don't
36:12
Speaker 1: know what kind of spider that was. The tissue could
36:14
Speaker 1: go necrotic, you could have an infection. You're not gonna
36:17
Speaker 1: do anyone any good if you're laid up with bloy
36:19
Speaker 1: blood poisoning Dean. And Dean opens his mouth to make
36:22
Speaker 1: a smart alec remark, but then his eyes roll back
36:24
Speaker 1: and he passes out, and the screen fades to black.
36:27
Speaker 1: When we fade in, we're in an old fashioned room,
36:31
Speaker 1: appointed in country comfort, not the sort of place you'd
36:34
Speaker 1: expect to find Dean Winchester. There are doilies. Dan wakes
36:40
Speaker 1: up in a big feather bed and looks around, confused,
36:43
Speaker 1: and he can hear talk somewhere other in the building,
36:46
Speaker 1: and so he gets up and he gets dressed, and
36:49
Speaker 1: he heads out of the room and he walks out
36:51
Speaker 1: to find that he's in an old farmhouse and the
36:53
Speaker 1: talk he heard is his brother chatting with a woman
36:56
Speaker 1: who looks to be in her fifties. And she turns
36:58
Speaker 1: and sees Dean and grin and says, you're alive, and
37:02
Speaker 1: Dean gives kind of half smiles. Is better than ever? Um,
37:07
Speaker 1: where are we? And the woman says, my house. I'm Beth,
37:11
Speaker 1: Beth Wilson. Dr Wilson says, Sam. I was worried I
37:16
Speaker 1: wouldn't get you to a hospital in time, and I
37:17
Speaker 1: saw the sign for her practice outside, So you work
37:21
Speaker 1: out of your home, asks Dean. Be that's just kind
37:24
Speaker 1: of grins and shrugs, and says town is not really
37:26
Speaker 1: centralized or big enough to bother with a formal office.
37:29
Speaker 1: Your brother brought you in. I gave you some antibodics
37:31
Speaker 1: to fight off infection. It's some anti venom to help
37:34
Speaker 1: you out. You aren't the first spider bite victim I've
37:36
Speaker 1: had to treat so well. I really appreciated, doctor, says Dean.
37:40
Speaker 1: Thanks for letting me stay overnight. Beth chuckles, so Dean
37:44
Speaker 1: looks over at Sam, and Sam says, you've actually been
37:48
Speaker 1: here for four days Dean, and Dean blinks in disbelieve
37:52
Speaker 1: four days. I'm not surprised you don't remember it, says
37:56
Speaker 1: Dr Wilson. You were feverish for pretty much all of it.
37:59
Speaker 1: You kept going on about how and your brother are big,
38:01
Speaker 1: bad monster hunters. Dean is an even more shock, and
38:06
Speaker 1: Sam kind of looks at him and then just shrugs,
38:09
Speaker 1: and Dean says, uh, fevers do weird things to me,
38:12
Speaker 1: I guess. Dr Wilson looks at Dean hope not I
38:16
Speaker 1: can use a couple of professional monster killers. So we
38:19
Speaker 1: cut to a new scene and the three you're sitting
38:21
Speaker 1: around a dining table and Dean is eating a truly
38:25
Speaker 1: enormous amount of food, presumably his first meal in four days,
38:30
Speaker 1: and Sam and Dr Wilson are just drinking tea. Now,
38:34
Speaker 1: I want you both to know I'm a woman of science.
38:38
Speaker 1: I don't go in for this monster stuff, lightly, says
38:41
Speaker 1: Dr Wilson, and Sam says, we understand it's quite elite.
38:45
Speaker 1: Beth nods, well, there have been stories about the old
38:49
Speaker 1: sawmill across town being haunted for years, but no one
38:52
Speaker 1: ever took it seriously. Sometimes kids would go there on
38:56
Speaker 1: a dare, but it was really just a creepy, old,
38:58
Speaker 1: abandoned place. But lately there's been some more serious problems.
39:04
Speaker 1: A couple of older teams went up there a few
39:06
Speaker 1: weeks back. Only one made it out, scared out of
39:10
Speaker 1: her wits. She was cut up pretty badly too. Whatever
39:14
Speaker 1: happened to her, it broke that young woman, and Sam
39:18
Speaker 1: frowns all Dean continues to shovel food in his face. Well,
39:22
Speaker 1: I did what I could for her, but they sent
39:24
Speaker 1: her up state to a facility. I do hope she recovers,
39:27
Speaker 1: but I don't know the look in her eyes. Dr
39:31
Speaker 1: Wilson looks down in her tea frowning. Anyway, I went
39:35
Speaker 1: up there to check it out myself, So Sam shifts
39:38
Speaker 1: and says, you you went to the sawmill all by yourself,
39:41
Speaker 1: and Beth Smirks didn't know any better. I guess I
39:44
Speaker 1: figured it was maybe an animal. We sometimes get the
39:47
Speaker 1: occasional bear up here, or more rarely, a wildcat. I
39:51
Speaker 1: was hoping I might find the other kids, you know,
39:53
Speaker 1: maybe they had run a different way and they were
39:55
Speaker 1: hold up in a tree or something. But what I
39:58
Speaker 1: found I couldn't explo lane. Sam looks to Dean, but
40:02
Speaker 1: Dean still devouring the food in front of him. So
40:04
Speaker 1: Sam clears his throat and Dean looks up mouthful. What
40:07
Speaker 1: did you see? Asks Dean, except it sounds more like you. Well,
40:13
Speaker 1: I saw a woman, but she wasn't totally human. Her
40:18
Speaker 1: features were distended, her fingers were too long, the figure
40:23
Speaker 1: was all hunched over. But she moved. I can't even
40:26
Speaker 1: describe how she moved. It was it was like it
40:28
Speaker 1: was fast and then slow, jerking around in a way
40:32
Speaker 1: that didn't even make sense to me, and I ran.
40:35
Speaker 1: I'm ashamed to say it. Dr Wilson sounds as though
40:38
Speaker 1: she's holding back tears. Hey says Sam, It's okay, you
40:41
Speaker 1: saw something that didn't meet any of your expectations. It's
40:44
Speaker 1: it's an understandable reaction. Dr Wilson nodds, well, if you're
40:49
Speaker 1: done scarfing down all the food in the county, young man,
40:52
Speaker 1: you might want to go and wash up. And Dean
40:54
Speaker 1: looks a bit cheapish, and he stands, and he gathers
40:57
Speaker 1: up his plate and the table, wearing a glass, and
40:59
Speaker 1: he heads to the kitch and letting out a fierce
41:01
Speaker 1: burp along the way, and Sam winces a bit and
41:04
Speaker 1: says sorry for my brother, and Dr Wilson lets out
41:07
Speaker 1: a chuckle, and then we hear the sound of Dean
41:10
Speaker 1: cursing in the kitchen, so the two stand up quickly.
41:14
Speaker 1: They run into the kitchen and there they see Dean
41:16
Speaker 1: hands open with a plate stuck on one and a
41:20
Speaker 1: dish towel stuck on the other. What's going on, says Sam,
41:24
Speaker 1: and Dean, somewhat panic, says I can't put them down,
41:28
Speaker 1: and he waves his hands around and the towel flaps around,
41:31
Speaker 1: stuck to his open palm. The ceramic plate similarly doesn't
41:35
Speaker 1: budge from his other hand, and Sam grabs the towel
41:37
Speaker 1: and starts to pull, and Dean pulls back, but the
41:39
Speaker 1: towel still sticks. What in the world, says Dr Wilson,
41:44
Speaker 1: and suddenly Dean's grip on both plate and towell slip.
41:47
Speaker 1: Plate chatters on the ground, and both Dean and Sam
41:50
Speaker 1: sit down hard on the floor, and Dean looks down
41:53
Speaker 1: and says, I'm so sorry. I have no idea how
41:56
Speaker 1: that happened. Dr Wilson just grabs Dean's wrists and whole
42:00
Speaker 1: holds up his hands and looks at them closely. Stay
42:03
Speaker 1: right there, she says, and she leaves her a moment,
42:05
Speaker 1: and when she comes back, she's holding a magnifying glass
42:08
Speaker 1: and she really takes a good look at his hands.
42:10
Speaker 1: Oh my word, she says, what what asks Dean, clearly
42:15
Speaker 1: a little bit freaked out. You've got bristles, she says,
42:23
Speaker 1: I beg your pardon. Bristles, says Dean. You know it's
42:26
Speaker 1: like a geck's foot or a spider's leg. You know,
42:30
Speaker 1: bristles that help critters stick to walls and ceilings and stuff.
42:34
Speaker 1: They're kind of they're protruding and then they're retracting. So
42:39
Speaker 1: says Sam, the towel and plate stuck to him because
42:42
Speaker 1: of bristles. And Dr Wilson gives Sam a look that
42:46
Speaker 1: seems to say, do you've got a better explanation? So
42:49
Speaker 1: Sam looks back at Dean. Dean says, I'm freaking spider man.
42:55
Speaker 1: We cut to a sequence where Dean is testing out
42:57
Speaker 1: his abilities. We see him scale the side of Dr
43:00
Speaker 1: Wilson's house easily, the one point the bristles must have retracted.
43:02
Speaker 1: He slides a good four ft down the wall, screaming
43:05
Speaker 1: like a girl until they make him stick again and
43:08
Speaker 1: we see that he is in fact stronger than he
43:11
Speaker 1: was before. And then we see Sam absolutely nailed Dean
43:15
Speaker 1: in the shoulder with a baseball, proving that he does
43:17
Speaker 1: not in fact possess spider sense. Dean is rubbing his shoulder,
43:22
Speaker 1: staring at Sam, who looks both amused and a little apologetic. Well,
43:27
Speaker 1: I guess this is a new one for you, doc,
43:29
Speaker 1: and Dr Wilson nods. I suspect this is a new
43:32
Speaker 1: one on everybody. Maybe it'll come in handy, offer Sam
43:36
Speaker 1: when we go check out the sawmill, and Dean nods, well,
43:40
Speaker 1: we'll go take a look, Doc, your friendly neighborhood Winchesters
43:43
Speaker 1: will be back as soon as we can. And so
43:46
Speaker 1: Sam and Dean had a cross town following the doctor's instructions,
43:49
Speaker 1: up to an old dirt road, which brings them to
43:53
Speaker 1: a halt just outside an abandoned sawmill. Part of the
43:57
Speaker 1: roof has caved in and the walls around that's that
44:01
Speaker 1: bit look a bit worse for wear, like part of
44:03
Speaker 1: it or is actually crumbling into the building. And Sam
44:07
Speaker 1: looks at Dean and says, all right, Peter Parker I
44:10
Speaker 1: want to lead the way. So Dean shoots Sam and
44:12
Speaker 1: ugly look takes off his shoes and then he rubs
44:15
Speaker 1: his hands together briskly while looking at the exterior wall.
44:18
Speaker 1: Then he stops rubbing his hands together and just looks
44:21
Speaker 1: down at them because they get stuck to each other,
44:24
Speaker 1: and he wins as a bit and lets out a
44:25
Speaker 1: low growl as he forcibly separates his hands from one another. Right,
44:30
Speaker 1: he says, And he walks up to the wall, zooms
44:33
Speaker 1: right up the side, Uh, says Sam. See anything? So
44:37
Speaker 1: Dean Wall crawls over to the gap at the top
44:39
Speaker 1: and peers in and says, someone has definitely been here.
44:42
Speaker 1: There's a lot of dirt and dust, but there are
44:44
Speaker 1: spots where it's clear, so something's been moving around. Sam says, well,
44:48
Speaker 1: I'm going in. You want to come down? Dean says no,
44:51
Speaker 1: I'll climb into one of the windows up here. Check
44:53
Speaker 1: out the top Flora. We'll meet you downstairs. Sam nods
44:56
Speaker 1: and goes inside, and we stick with Dean, who crawls
44:59
Speaker 1: to a window. And there hasn't been any glass in
45:01
Speaker 1: this window for ages. Dean can see there's a bit
45:04
Speaker 1: of broken glass on the inside, probably kids throwing rocks
45:07
Speaker 1: at it at some point, so he goes in and
45:10
Speaker 1: he switches to walking on foot, and he's very careful
45:12
Speaker 1: not to pull a die hard and step on the glass.
45:15
Speaker 1: And he hears Sam moving around downstairs, and Dean, perhaps
45:19
Speaker 1: hearing something, perhaps sensing it in some other way, quickly
45:23
Speaker 1: turns just as a dark shaped dashes at him from
45:26
Speaker 1: a shadowed corner, and he leaps at the last second,
45:28
Speaker 1: jumping up a clear fifteen feet to the high ceiling overhead.
45:31
Speaker 1: As the dark shape passes underneath him, Sam shouts, Dean,
45:35
Speaker 1: it's up here, and he hears Sam immediately rushed to
45:37
Speaker 1: find a way up. Meanwhile, Dean looks at his adversary
45:41
Speaker 1: and it's as Dr. Wilson described a woman, her skin ruddy,
45:44
Speaker 1: her body crooked and distended, her fingers far too long
45:48
Speaker 1: for her hands, and she looks back at him over
45:51
Speaker 1: her shoulder with her head turned impossibly far around. What
45:56
Speaker 1: in the hell are you? Shouts Dean. The thing looks
46:00
Speaker 1: at him and says, wait for real, you the amazing
46:03
Speaker 1: frog boy. You're asking me what the heck I am?
46:06
Speaker 1: What the hell are you? Some sort of hybrid monster?
46:09
Speaker 1: You know, part glue, part Abercrombie and Fitch model, and
46:13
Speaker 1: Dean blinks for a second. I didn't expect that, and
46:16
Speaker 1: he jumps down, landing athletically across the room from the creature. Meanwhile,
46:19
Speaker 1: Sam runs into the room with a gun drawn. He
46:21
Speaker 1: sees Dean turns and fires, but by then the crooked
46:24
Speaker 1: woman has moved, rushing across the space to swipe it Sam,
46:27
Speaker 1: so Dean leaps quickly, his body slams into hers just
46:30
Speaker 1: before she can claw Sam, and the two of them
46:33
Speaker 1: tumble out the doorway. Sam in pursuit. Dean grasps at
46:37
Speaker 1: the woman, but she de materializes into black smoke and
46:40
Speaker 1: that quickly drifts away, and Sam grimaces and he says,
46:43
Speaker 1: you think of what I'm thinking. Dean nods a cherry.
46:47
Speaker 1: I reckon that's a kind of demon in the supernatural universe,
46:51
Speaker 1: and Sam nods too. I'll get the salt, you get
46:53
Speaker 1: the iron. So the two quickly head to the car
46:55
Speaker 1: they grab what they need. Sam begins to lay out
46:58
Speaker 1: a perimeter of salt around the sawmill, pouring it from
47:00
Speaker 1: a large bag of salt, and Dean grabs a bunch
47:04
Speaker 1: of iron spikes, and then they go inside. They hear
47:07
Speaker 1: the shrieks of this monster. Sam completes the circuit around
47:10
Speaker 1: the whole sawmill. He says, should be good here. Dean
47:13
Speaker 1: hands him a couple of spikes and they too. The
47:17
Speaker 1: two of them start to stalk this creature. They hear
47:21
Speaker 1: the sounds of thudding and crashing. It's clearly having a
47:24
Speaker 1: bit of a temper tantrum for being trapped inside the sawmill.
47:29
Speaker 1: And then we're at the confrontation, and then we get
47:32
Speaker 1: this big fight with Dean being all flippy floppy all
47:35
Speaker 1: over the place, and at one point he moves to
47:37
Speaker 1: throw an iron spike at the demon, but the spike
47:40
Speaker 1: won't leave his hand and that amuses the demon and
47:43
Speaker 1: it gives Sam the chance to sneak up behind and
47:45
Speaker 1: deal the final blow, and once again she dissolves. That
47:48
Speaker 1: this time, the black smoke seems to be sucked into
47:50
Speaker 1: the ground itself, and Sam and Dean didn't take a
47:53
Speaker 1: moment to rest. They perform a ritual to protect the sawmill,
47:57
Speaker 1: release any spirits that might be bound to it, and
47:59
Speaker 1: we see a montage as they revisit Dr. Wilson explaining
48:03
Speaker 1: that the monster is gone and the head out of
48:05
Speaker 1: town as they drive, reflecting on what happened in Dean's transformation.
48:10
Speaker 1: They see a weird orange light glowing ahead of them.
48:14
Speaker 1: Before Dean can slam on, the IMPALA's breaks around. Orange
48:18
Speaker 1: portal opens up, and the Impala falls into it, just
48:21
Speaker 1: as we hear carry on my Wayward Son play on
48:24
Speaker 1: the radio, before the portal closes and all sounds cut off,
48:28
Speaker 1: with only the quiet night remaining the end. I like
48:33
Speaker 1: how you put them in the multiverse of madness. Now,
48:38
Speaker 1: that was really good. That was like, it's too bad
48:40
Speaker 1: that Supernatural is uh is over because you could sell
48:44
Speaker 1: that episode to them. So that's what before we recorded.
48:47
Speaker 1: I actually told Arielison, I think I accidentally wrote an
48:50
Speaker 1: actual episode of Supernatural. I meant to make it way
48:54
Speaker 1: wackier and maybe more have more commentary about the show
49:00
Speaker 1: is Supernatural because I have lots of feelings about it.
49:05
Speaker 1: But um, I was having too much fun writing my
49:07
Speaker 1: own fan fiction ridiculous treatment. It was a good story
49:12
Speaker 1: and it had just the right amount of comedy, and
49:14
Speaker 1: I loved it. Well. I can't wait to hear yours,
49:18
Speaker 1: except I've got to because before we can hear yours,
49:21
Speaker 1: we have to take this quick break. Okay, we're back
49:35
Speaker 1: and my So sometimes when I come up with our
49:41
Speaker 1: mashup ideas, I'm like, I have no idea how this
49:44
Speaker 1: is gonna work, and then it's brilliant. And then sometimes
49:47
Speaker 1: when I come up with our mashup ideas, I'm like, yeah,
49:49
Speaker 1: this is perfect, this will be easy, and then it's
49:52
Speaker 1: really difficult because I've I've I've psyched myself out. This
49:58
Speaker 1: is one of those latter cases. So it's called Spider
50:01
Speaker 1: Natural carry on my wayward Spidy. Spider Man was on
50:06
Speaker 1: his usual neighborhood patrol when he got a Peter Tingle
50:10
Speaker 1: something was going down at his favorite deli. He got
50:13
Speaker 1: there moments too late, only to see an old Black
50:16
Speaker 1: and Paula pull away from the scene, and when he
50:18
Speaker 1: entered the deli, the store was ransacked and there was
50:20
Speaker 1: blood everywhere. He found the deli owner passed out in
50:23
Speaker 1: the back room, and when the deli owner came to
50:26
Speaker 1: he had no idea what had happened. Peter tried to
50:29
Speaker 1: track the Impala, but it was long gone, but not
50:32
Speaker 1: gone for long. For weeks, Peter would get a new
50:35
Speaker 1: Peter Tinkle and follow it, only to arrive just in
50:37
Speaker 1: time to see the Black and Paula drive off, leaving
50:40
Speaker 1: carnage in its wake. Peter knew whoever these classic car
50:44
Speaker 1: driving villains were needed to be stopped, and luckily for him,
50:48
Speaker 1: none of his normal nemeses had been seen for weeks,
50:51
Speaker 1: so he had time to devise a plan. So Peter
50:54
Speaker 1: used Karen, the ai that Tony Stark slash Iron Man
50:57
Speaker 1: installed in his suit, to triangulate the next three hospital
51:00
Speaker 1: locations them Paula might show up. Then he spun Is
51:04
Speaker 1: it spun? Does Spider Man spin? Slung? Maybe? Then he
51:09
Speaker 1: slung a super strong, but super discreet, car sized web
51:12
Speaker 1: in each location and crawled into a building corner at
51:15
Speaker 1: the most possible location to wait. While waiting, he saw
51:19
Speaker 1: one of his nemeses, the lizard, run past his web,
51:22
Speaker 1: and then there was the Impula in hot pursuit. Spider
51:25
Speaker 1: Man was confused, so were the drivers of the Impala
51:28
Speaker 1: when they got caught in the giant car sized web.
51:31
Speaker 1: Dean step on it. That lizard creature is getting away,
51:33
Speaker 1: shouted a voice from the car. Really, Sam said another
51:36
Speaker 1: voice from the car, Are you just completely ignoring the
51:39
Speaker 1: spider web we're stuck in right now? It must be
51:41
Speaker 1: an Arachney again grabbed the ax, Sammy and the two
51:45
Speaker 1: voices busted out of the car and Webb and turned
51:47
Speaker 1: out to be two dudes. Spider Man webbed them and
51:50
Speaker 1: swung down, much to the two dudes protestation, But before
51:54
Speaker 1: Spider Man could get a quip out, Sam looked up
51:57
Speaker 1: and started gushing, wait are you wait, are you spider
52:01
Speaker 1: Man like the real Spider Man. Dean, Look, it's spider Man, dude,
52:05
Speaker 1: I am like your biggest fan. And at the same
52:08
Speaker 1: time Spider Man saw who the two dudes were and said, wait,
52:11
Speaker 1: you're the Winchester Brothers, like the Monster Hunters, like Deem
52:14
Speaker 1: and Sam and their angel Buddy Castil from the show Supernatural.
52:19
Speaker 1: And then at the same time the two parties said,
52:21
Speaker 1: I thought you were fictional. Then Sam and Dean and
52:25
Speaker 1: Spider Man all explain that no, they were quite quite real.
52:28
Speaker 1: Sam and Dean explained that they had gotten reports through
52:30
Speaker 1: their Monster Hunter network that strange creatures were in the area,
52:34
Speaker 1: Giant giant lizard men, sad people, constructs made of lightning,
52:38
Speaker 1: and some giant rhino dude, and they came to take
52:41
Speaker 1: care of it, and Suddy said, yeah, they aren't monsters. Though, well,
52:44
Speaker 1: I'm actually I guess I do act pretty monstrous now,
52:49
Speaker 1: you know what. Actually, I guess some of them actually
52:51
Speaker 1: are monsters. But well that's besides the point. We don't
52:53
Speaker 1: need to kill them, we need to put them in jail.
52:56
Speaker 1: And after some bickering back and forth, the brothers agreed
52:58
Speaker 1: they all teamed up to catch the lizard. Once done,
53:01
Speaker 1: they all went out for beer and pizza, exchange contact numbers. Well, actually,
53:04
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back because he sees Spider Man is
53:06
Speaker 1: not actually old enough to drink beer, but he still
53:08
Speaker 1: went out for beer and pizza with the brothers. Uh.
53:10
Speaker 1: They exchange contact numbers and every once in a while. Uh.
53:13
Speaker 1: They decided to team up to stop bad guys. They
53:16
Speaker 1: all lived much happier, except for the people who had
53:18
Speaker 1: to be around them because that level of snarky commentary
53:21
Speaker 1: is very hard to handle. The end, mm hmmm, I
53:25
Speaker 1: love the first interaction as them getting webbed by by
53:29
Speaker 1: Spider Man because that is also a very supernatural thing
53:33
Speaker 1: to have happened. Yeah, but then like I lost the
53:36
Speaker 1: plot because Okay, they're just all real and they all
53:38
Speaker 1: know who they all are and everything's good. I mean,
53:42
Speaker 1: like in mind I so in mind. My mashup was
53:45
Speaker 1: that they're aware of the fictional, like Spider Man is
53:50
Speaker 1: a fiction within the world of Supernatural, right like super
53:54
Speaker 1: the Supernatural version of our world also has Marvel comics
53:58
Speaker 1: and has Spider Man. So that was a different kind
54:02
Speaker 1: of mashup than what I typically do, where I directly
