Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Are you doing a previously on thing, Brendan?
- 0:03Speaker 2: Probably not for this one.
- 0:05Speaker 1: Well, we don't need to play it because I've got
- 0:06Speaker 1: one for you. I've got one for you.
- 0:08Speaker 2: This is what destiny intended from the moment we entered
- 0:10Speaker 2: the star system.
- 0:12Speaker 3: Hello. Hi.
- 0:14Speaker 1: Elena Hoffman, David Blue, Lou Ferrera.
- 0:22Speaker 3: Sunday afternoon, baby.
- 0:27Speaker 1: That's literally the opening of the audio commentary.
- 0:30Speaker 3: Like that's, that's the act. I didn't edit any of that.
- 0:32Speaker 1: That is, that's the open of the episode. And then
- 0:35Speaker 1: it fades into the audio commentary and that's how they
- 0:37Speaker 1: opened it. And yeah, they said, um, Louie's already drunk.
- 0:40Speaker 1: He's Sunday afternoon. He's already had two or three drinks
- 0:43Speaker 1: at one point. Um, uh, Elaine is like, okay, so
- 0:47Speaker 1: we know that two is, is Louie's limit. Um, and
- 0:50Speaker 1: then later on, later on the episode, Brody shows up
- 0:54Speaker 1: like in the, in the recording, Brody shows up. And
- 0:56Speaker 1: they're talking about how, like, it's the first time they've
- 0:58Speaker 1: all been together since, I think it was Elena Huffman's
- 1:02Speaker 1: 30th birthday or something like that.
- 1:04Speaker 3: And then the next five.
- 1:06Speaker 4: Something like that. I just wouldn't have guessed that I
- 1:09Speaker 4: was watching her in her early 20s. Sorry, late 20s. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:13Speaker 4: At the beginning of this show. That's crazy.
- 1:14Speaker 1: And especially pregnant with her third or fourth child at
- 1:17Speaker 1: that point.
- 1:18Speaker 4: Really?
- 1:18Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:22Speaker 1: But then the next five minutes is.
- 1:25Speaker 1: Is basically Louis Ferrer apologising as he goes around the
- 1:28Speaker 1: room and shows each person individually a photo from the party.
- 1:35Speaker 3: And he just apologises.
- 1:36Speaker 1: He goes, sorry, the sound you're about to hear is
- 1:39Speaker 1: Eli Blue laughing as.
- 1:40Speaker 3: I show him this photo.
- 1:41Speaker 1: And he showed him a photo that none of us
- 1:43Speaker 1: know what it is. And then he just goes around
- 1:45Speaker 1: and shows every single one of them. And so it's
- 1:47Speaker 1: just five minutes of them just laughing at this photo
- 1:49Speaker 1: and them apologising. It's absolutely one of the loosest audio
- 1:53Speaker 1: commentaries I've ever heard.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Say what you want about this show, but the cast
- 1:57Speaker 2: sound like they have an absolute ball recording this. Yeah.
- 2:02Speaker 1: In the audit commentary, I think David Blue was just like,
- 2:06Speaker 1: all we do is laugh and want to kiss each other.
- 2:08Speaker 3: Like that.
- 2:09Speaker 1: Sure, mate.
- 2:11Speaker 4: I just like that now we know how to say...
- 2:14Speaker 4: lose last night if we just put like roll the
- 2:16Speaker 4: R's there like yeah we don't have to do it
- 2:22Speaker 4: properly now as long as we had a bit of
- 2:24Speaker 4: fun while we're doing.
- 2:24Speaker 1: It yeah I apologize for not grabbing the audio just
- 2:29Speaker 1: because it was a little bit sort of overlappy because
- 2:32Speaker 1: they're all just talking over each other he does do
- 2:34Speaker 1: a Sylvester Stallone impersonation in the audio commentary as well
- 2:39Speaker 1: so there's.
- 2:40Speaker 2: That magic who does Louis Ferreira. Oh, good. I thought
- 2:43Speaker 2: you were going to say David Blue.
- 2:44Speaker 4: Oh, no.
- 2:45Speaker 3: I wouldn't have brought that up.
- 2:47Speaker 2: You damn dirty apes. By the way, I can do
- 2:50Speaker 2: Rocky if you want that in the show. No, thanks. Nah,
- 2:54Speaker 2: that's good.
- 2:55Speaker 4: We'll be right.
- 2:55Speaker 2: We're done with the quotes.
- 2:56Speaker 3: Let's not say we did.
- 3:00Speaker 4: Well, that's really good, David. Never do it again.
- 3:03Speaker 2: Do you want it in the show?
- 3:05Speaker 3: What's that?
- 3:06Speaker 1: The video of them at Stonehenge when... Beckett's like, shut up, David.
- 3:10Speaker 2: Shut the f * * * up, David.
- 3:12Speaker 4: Dude.
- 3:14Speaker 2: So good, man.
- 3:31Speaker 4: Get into Gate episode 306. 30. Oh, God, don't you
- 3:36Speaker 4: love the sound of that? It just sounds clean. Mitch, Matty,
- 3:40Speaker 4: Brendan here to talk some SGU. What's going on, boys?
- 3:44Speaker 3: It's a Leoplerodon.
- 3:45Speaker 2: Sorry, guys, we're on Zoom. Couldn't be helped. Don't worry
- 3:49Speaker 2: about it. So don't complain about the audio quality.
- 3:52Speaker 4: I already prefaced this last week, saying it was a
- 3:54Speaker 4: bit of a hashtag blame Mitch situation. And until it's not,
- 3:57Speaker 4: it is. So let's just keep it that way. And
- 3:59Speaker 4: that's purely for... I like that more, yeah.
- 4:02Speaker 2: Fair rule.
- 4:03Speaker 4: Can that, I mean, have we got that as a
- 4:05Speaker 4: t-shirt option? Is it just like hashtag blame Mitch? You know,
- 4:08Speaker 4: I just feel like we're just.
- 4:09Speaker 2: Yeah, Sarah made heaps of them.
- 4:11Speaker 4: That's a suggestion. Buy an S collard.
- 4:14Speaker 1: One for each of four of her kids.
- 4:16Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we got an order of five.
- 4:19Speaker 4: That's so weird. All going to the same address.
- 4:21Speaker 2: I think she made some for my house too. Hashtag
- 4:24Speaker 2: blame Brendan.
- 4:25Speaker 4: And Josh's just to round it out since we all met.
- 4:29Speaker 1: Let's do some blame Mitch shirts, but we'll do it
- 4:31Speaker 1: in the clag logo.
- 4:32Speaker 4: Yeah, oh, that is magic. God, that's good. I only
- 4:35Speaker 4: saw that shirt the other day, and I'm like, I
- 4:36Speaker 4: think I might wear that to work, just to see
- 4:38Speaker 4: if anyone just... Oh, the one.
- 4:39Speaker 1: With the mysterious Brendan-smelling stains on it?
- 4:42Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, mystery to you. Anyway, we are
- 4:46Speaker 4: talking SGU. Episode one of season two, finally, for me,
- 4:50Speaker 4: into the second half of my SGU journey. We're talking intervention, guys,
- 4:55Speaker 4: which is what Brendan seemed to have needed. After the
- 4:59Speaker 4: last episode of SGU. In fact, he took a three-year
- 5:02Speaker 4: hibernation from the show. A little hiatus. Back on the wagon. Yeah,
- 5:07Speaker 4: we're back on the wagon with episode one, Intervention. Let's
- 5:10Speaker 4: rip into the old synopsis and see how it sounds.
- 5:14Speaker 4: After Colonel Young and his military personnel are captured by
- 5:17Speaker 4: the Lucian Alliance, Danik... that guy that we all know very,
- 5:22Speaker 4: very well, abandons them on a nearby planet. Meanwhile, on
- 5:25Speaker 4: the ship, Dr. Rush, Brody, Chloe, and Eli attempt a
- 5:29Speaker 4: risky plan to force the Lucians to surrender.
- 5:33Speaker 2: The Lucians? I mean, there's so many things in that.
- 5:36Speaker 4: The old Lucians. Written by Joel and Paul.
- 5:38Speaker 1: I just love that guy's name is Danik.
- 5:39Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Danik.
- 5:41Speaker 2: Joel and Paul.
- 5:42Speaker 4: And Annie Mikita, director, yes.
- 5:44Speaker 2: Andy.
- 5:48Speaker 1: Yes.
- 5:49Speaker 4: So... Well, I was going to ask you, Brendan, because
- 5:51Speaker 4: obviously this is your first one back after the thing,
- 5:53Speaker 4: but I might just quickly get into it for myself,
- 5:55Speaker 4: being that first timer. Yeah, it was weird. I hadn't
- 6:00Speaker 4: thought about it for about an hour after we finished,
- 6:02Speaker 4: and I'm like, okay, what was my takeaway? What was
- 6:05Speaker 4: that even about? It was kind of really just about
- 6:08Speaker 4: the TJ of it, right? And then everything else was like, well,
- 6:12Speaker 4: we kind of got to take over the ship. Let's
- 6:14Speaker 4: just have some gunfight and stuff, which I enjoyed a
- 6:16Speaker 4: lot of it, but at the same time, it didn't
- 6:18Speaker 4: really feel like That's what the episode was about. The
- 6:20Speaker 4: last two episodes really felt like they were building up
- 6:23Speaker 4: the takeover of the ship and setting up the cliffhanger
- 6:27Speaker 4: for the end of the season. But this one was like, hey,
- 6:29Speaker 4: we just need to sort TJ out. You know, she
- 6:32Speaker 4: was the last shot of the previously on so that
- 6:35Speaker 4: she could be the first shot of this new narrative.
- 6:37Speaker 4: And like, as far as.
- 6:39Speaker 2: Oh, that's my first note. TJ, hair chat. Mitch, go.
- 6:45Speaker 2: Hair chats.
- 6:46Speaker 4: Honestly, I'm about midway through watching this. And my wife
- 6:49Speaker 4: walked past and I'm like, she walks in and I'm like,
- 6:52Speaker 4: now her hair, like just on a scale of wonder
- 6:55Speaker 4: how complicated.
- 6:56Speaker 2: Imagine if Reese was still here. Oh, I know. Hair chats.
- 7:02Speaker 2: Some of the great hair we've seen in Stargate. It's
- 7:06Speaker 2: a pleasure to see such great hair.
- 7:09Speaker 4: I reckon if Colonel Young let his grow out, I
- 7:11Speaker 4: reckon old, old Louie would have like a, if he
- 7:14Speaker 4: just like, let it go, not quite shoulder length, but
- 7:16Speaker 4: like a little 70s, I reckon he would have just
- 7:19Speaker 4: luscious locks. You know, I think I'd like to just
- 7:22Speaker 4: lose the military. Stay tuned, mate.
- 7:23Speaker 3: Stay tuned.
- 7:24Speaker 4: Oh shit. Okay, good.
- 7:25Speaker 2: I was just shrugging my shoulders, looking at Matty going,
- 7:27Speaker 2: it's coming. It was a weird.
- 7:29Speaker 4: Stance that you had there, Brendan.
- 7:30Speaker 1: I can't, I can't see you. My screen's jumping between
- 7:32Speaker 1: the two of you.
- 7:33Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you're changing your view, mate. What's wrong with you?
- 7:36Speaker 3: How do I do that? I don't know what I'm doing.
- 7:37Speaker 4: It's the top, Beyond hair chat, Brendan, given that you
- 7:43Speaker 4: said that the season finale of season one actually turned
- 7:46Speaker 4: you off the show, you were so frustrated by so
- 7:49Speaker 4: much of it and the choices made that you had
- 7:52Speaker 4: to switch off for a couple of years. Did you
- 7:55Speaker 4: actually rewatch season one before you jumped back on to this?
- 7:59Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 7:59Speaker 4: Okay, so you did that and then you... I usually skip.
- 8:03Speaker 2: Incursion.
- 8:04Speaker 4: Right, okay. Okay. I mean, either way, there's kind of
- 8:07Speaker 4: a bit of pressure.
- 8:07Speaker 2: And I skim through this to the TJ bits.
- 8:09Speaker 4: Yeah, right.
- 8:10Speaker 2: Because everything else, I just look at it and go, oh,
- 8:12Speaker 2: my God, Young's a fucking idiot. I can't help it.
- 8:18Speaker 2: I can't help but think that.
- 8:20Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 8:21Speaker 2: The guy could have just ended it day one, but
- 8:24Speaker 2: instead he loses people on his team. He loses his
- 8:27Speaker 2: own child. And you're like, you're a fucking retard. Like,
- 8:32Speaker 2: I can't, I have no other words for it.
- 8:35Speaker 3: Hmm.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Wasn't it great how we got all that resolution on
- 8:39Speaker 1: Commander Kiva, like the way she was built up for.
- 8:42Speaker 2: Two whole episodes? Oh, so they couldn't afford her.
- 8:45Speaker 1: This real badass, and then it's left on a cliffhanger,
- 8:48Speaker 1: and we never see her again.
- 8:51Speaker 2: Didn't even see her under a sheet. Yeah.
- 8:54Speaker 1: What we did see, though, is we did see a
- 8:57Speaker 1: new hot, petite, red-headed genius. that we conveniently didn't see
- 9:03Speaker 1: come through the gate in the last two episodes.
- 9:05Speaker 2: I would have noticed that 12-year-old boy arse anywhere.
- 9:10Speaker 3: Wow.
- 9:11Speaker 2: That's what Scott said.
- 9:14Speaker 1: I mean, you just, you never know where Britain's going
- 9:18Speaker 1: to go with these things. You just can't, it's unpredictable.
- 9:21Speaker 3: You got nasty like a 12-year-old boy.
- 9:25Speaker 2: It's not me, mate. It's Lieutenant Scott, okay? All right.
- 9:32Speaker 2: What do you think about that?
- 9:33Speaker 3: I have no words. I have no words.
- 9:39Speaker 4: Well, either way, I was going to say, Brendan, either way,
- 9:41Speaker 4: there's a lot of pressure on this episode, and whether
- 9:43Speaker 4: you were coming in off the back of three years
- 9:46Speaker 4: of being away from the show and not re-watching season one,
- 9:49Speaker 4: or pushing yourself through season one again, knowing that you
- 9:52Speaker 4: were going to be frustrated at the end, only to
- 9:54Speaker 4: then get to the first episode of the next season going,
- 9:57Speaker 4: is this just going to turn me off for good,
- 9:59Speaker 4: or or is it going to redeem itself or something?
- 10:03Speaker 4: So what was your first reaction to watching this?
- 10:06Speaker 2: Well, I liked all the TJ bits.
- 10:11Speaker 3: And what about the episode?
- 10:13Speaker 2: Not really. I was just like, I'm just going to
- 10:18Speaker 2: get through this because it seemed to me like they
- 10:20Speaker 2: wrote themselves in a corner last year to get to
- 10:25Speaker 2: a cliffhanger and then now they just had to resolve
- 10:27Speaker 2: this as quickly as possible. It's like, yeah, all right,
- 10:31Speaker 2: rush you in. Heidi McRedhead shoots up Baldy in the
- 10:36Speaker 2: back and that's it.
- 10:39Speaker 1: And that really amazing, well-written... resolution to Chloe story where
- 10:43Speaker 1: she spent the entire last episode bleeding out and you
- 10:46Speaker 1: thought she was going to die.
- 10:47Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 10:48Speaker 1: And then, and then Eli leaves her and then she
- 10:52Speaker 1: comes up and she literally just says, I guess I'm okay.
- 10:55Speaker 4: That again had me thinking of, you know, I referenced
- 10:58Speaker 4: that Ralph Wiggum clip, which you might not remember, but
- 11:00Speaker 4: when he's the biblical one.
- 11:01Speaker 2: I remember when you said it.
- 11:03Speaker 4: Yeah, I know. That's what I mean. Like, I'm not
- 11:04Speaker 4: the only reference point, but like the idea of like,
- 11:06Speaker 4: she walks into the room, like, I thought you were dying.
- 11:08Speaker 4: It's like, nope. Like, that's it. Now, the amount of
- 11:12Speaker 4: times it was brought up, the amount of times she
- 11:14Speaker 4: looked or other people looked or were touching it and stuff,
- 11:16Speaker 4: and the fact that, like, clearly their lives are saved,
- 11:19Speaker 4: what do her and Matt have to do? Obviously go
- 11:22Speaker 4: and root each other. And then she's sitting there staring
- 11:24Speaker 4: at the scar and it's like, okay, well, what's going
- 11:27Speaker 4: to go on there? At me as a first-time viewer,
- 11:29Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, something's going on. Like, there's just a
- 11:33Speaker 4: lot of changes made.
- 11:34Speaker 2: I thought it was just she wanted Eli to get
- 11:37Speaker 2: some exercise. She just kind of bunged it on a bit.
- 11:41Speaker 2: I really hurt, Eli. I thought you were dying.
- 11:44Speaker 3: I thought you were shot.
- 11:45Speaker 1: And she's like, barely an inconvenience.
- 11:47Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 11:48Speaker 4: Every time you put her down, she just starts picking
- 11:50Speaker 4: at it to make it bleed more. God, mate, it
- 11:52Speaker 4: looks like I still can't walk. Got to keep going.
- 11:54Speaker 4: Make sure that one shirt that you've got is still
- 11:58Speaker 4: really sweaty.
- 11:58Speaker 1: He's definitely lost some weight between seasons.
- 12:00Speaker 2: So he's looking great. He went to the Daniel Jackson
- 12:03Speaker 2: School of Stargate.
- 12:05Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 12:06Speaker 2: Started hitting the gym with old Chrissy Judge.
- 12:10Speaker 1: I did find out in the audio commentary something interesting
- 12:13Speaker 1: about his, you know, iconic You Are Here shirt. That
- 12:18Speaker 1: was something that obviously had to be cleared by legal
- 12:20Speaker 1: and stuff like that because it's a, you know.
- 12:22Speaker 4: Controversial?
- 12:24Speaker 1: Well, just a shirt that they bought that obviously they
- 12:25Speaker 1: had to get someone's clearance of. The one that David
- 12:30Speaker 1: Blue wanted was a blue T-shirt and.
- 12:34Speaker 3: And, you know, the Mr.
- 12:36Speaker 1: Men characters, you know, the Mr. Strong, Little Miss Sunshine,
- 12:39Speaker 1: all those people.
- 12:42Speaker 3: It was one that said Mr.
- 12:43Speaker 1: Well Hung.
- 12:44Speaker 4: Wouldn't have thought so, mate. It didn't get across the line.
- 12:48Speaker 1: No, surprisingly, surprisingly, they went, no, we don't want to
- 12:51Speaker 1: have Eli wearing that shirt for the entire series. We'll
- 12:56Speaker 1: just stick with the red, you know, you are here.
- 12:58Speaker 2: So they didn't even write that bit. They just found
- 13:01Speaker 2: a T-shirt.
- 13:02Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 13:03Speaker 3: Yeah, they found that T-shirt. Wouldn't that be funny?
- 13:06Speaker 1: Because he's lost in another galaxy. And he's fat, so.
- 13:12Speaker 3: He's the big red dot, basically.
- 13:15Speaker 2: We don't have blue-red dots, do we?
- 13:18Speaker 3: No.
- 13:19Speaker 2: No, exactly.
- 13:20Speaker 4: So is there any behind-the-scenes stuff, just with when you
- 13:23Speaker 4: mentioned Kiva before? It's Rona Meacham. She's not the biggest
- 13:26Speaker 4: star in the world, but obviously she pops on screen.
- 13:28Speaker 4: We know who she was. And she's a bit of a.
- 13:33Speaker 4: A genre journey woman at the time. I mean, continues
- 13:35Speaker 4: to be, but when she gets shot, I'm like, I'm
- 13:39Speaker 4: assuming that she didn't know that she was coming back,
- 13:42Speaker 4: you know, between seasons. They're just like giving her agent
- 13:44Speaker 4: a call when actually not required. Don't, don't worry about it.
- 13:48Speaker 4: Like that just seemed like a, you know, like for
- 13:50Speaker 4: that to happen. And then for Chloe, like she was dying,
- 13:52Speaker 4: but then in the off season, they went, you know what, let's,
- 13:56Speaker 4: let's start planting seeds. We've got something crazy. That's going
- 13:58Speaker 4: to happen. It's going to, let's start it off by
- 14:00Speaker 4: her magically healing. Like, It didn't feel like a part
- 14:05Speaker 4: three in the way that a lot of these have
- 14:07Speaker 4: done in the past where it does wrap up what
- 14:11Speaker 4: you've started last season. And then episode two really kicks
- 14:14Speaker 4: off the new season. We can start to develop more things.
- 14:16Speaker 4: This is sort of like, oh, by the way, this
- 14:19Speaker 4: was all part of the plan along the way. So,
- 14:21Speaker 4: I mean, I'll allow it. My first time watching, Chloe's
- 14:25Speaker 4: got something weird going on. There's other aliens or not
- 14:29Speaker 4: going on with the whole TJ thing. Like it was...
- 14:32Speaker 4: especially with you guys saying season two makes the show,
- 14:35Speaker 4: you know, better than season one does. It finds its place.
- 14:39Speaker 4: And also that you've told me you will not believe
- 14:42Speaker 4: where this show goes. So I'm kind of looking at
- 14:45Speaker 4: everything that, you know, raises my eyebrow to going, oh,
- 14:48Speaker 4: this is it. Oh, this is going to be the
- 14:50Speaker 4: start of something wild. So I don't know. Maybe it's
- 14:53Speaker 4: just going to be Young's hair getting down a shoulder
- 14:55Speaker 4: length that makes me go crazy. I don't know, man.
- 14:57Speaker 4: I'm so excited.
- 14:58Speaker 2: Not quite shoulder-length, but it is funny when you look
- 15:01Speaker 2: at what they look like at the end of season
- 15:03Speaker 2: two and then you watch season one again, you're like, what?
- 15:06Speaker 2: That's crazy.
- 15:08Speaker 4: I even thought the cinematography was so different in this episode.
- 15:11Speaker 4: Especially in those early scenes where, how do you pronounce
- 15:15Speaker 4: his name? Dupod? Something like that? Oh, Mike Dupod. Yeah,
- 15:19Speaker 4: when he walked in.
- 15:20Speaker 2: Who?
- 15:20Speaker 4: Who are you talking about? Who is he?
- 15:26Speaker 1: I can't say anything or it'll be a spoiler. Brendan
- 15:28Speaker 1: will say it's a spoiler.
- 15:29Speaker 2: Oh, we're talking about Teabag?
- 15:32Speaker 3: No, no. We're talking the bounty hunter from SG-1.
- 15:36Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
- 15:38Speaker 3: Sorry, I forgot his name.
- 15:39Speaker 2: That's my bad.
- 15:41Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what his character name is.
- 15:43Speaker 4: But when he bounces in, he's like, oh, yeah, and
- 15:45Speaker 4: the medical, the doctor, she got shot as well. And
- 15:50Speaker 4: old mate's just like, good, I'm glad she did it,
- 15:52Speaker 4: you know? And then, like, Young just launches himself at
- 15:56Speaker 4: this guy. And I really noticed how, like, tungsten-y the
- 15:59Speaker 4: lighting was. It was so, it was very grainy, but
- 16:02Speaker 4: it was very yellowy and shit. I'm like, I feel
- 16:04Speaker 4: like that wasn't what it looked like. I mean, who cares? Like,
- 16:07Speaker 4: conditions on the ship could have changed or whatever, but.
- 16:09Speaker 4: It just really felt like.
- 16:11Speaker 2: It was the pulsar on the outside of the ship, Mitch.
- 16:14Speaker 4: Exactly, exactly. Yeah, it's radiation. Radiation.
- 16:19Speaker 2: Through the hull.
- 16:20Speaker 4: I did see that, actually, in the credits. I'm watching it,
- 16:23Speaker 4: and when it popped up, and Robert Knepper. And I'm like, oh, shit,
- 16:27Speaker 4: T-Bag's coming along. This is cool. But I'm like, oh,
- 16:30Speaker 4: where's he going to come into it? What's he going
- 16:33Speaker 4: to be? And then when he just happened, he's like, oh,
- 16:35Speaker 4: he was always on the ship. We just never saw
- 16:37Speaker 4: him last season. And same with old... Actually, I don't
- 16:41Speaker 4: want to nickname her. I don't want to nickname her.
- 16:45Speaker 3: Well, we'll wait. We'll workshop that one.
- 16:46Speaker 2: Two eggs in a hanky?
- 16:49Speaker 4: We'll come back.
- 16:50Speaker 3: We'll come back on that.
- 16:51Speaker 4: I wanted to say Heidi Mick Redhead, but I thought
- 16:52Speaker 4: you were going to say something to do with a 12-year-old.
- 16:54Speaker 4: I'm not going to do it. You're not going to
- 16:56Speaker 4: do it.
- 16:57Speaker 3: Run that one past legal and then we'll come back.
- 16:59Speaker 4: Yeah, legal being our wives, I think. Does it pass
- 17:04Speaker 4: the marriage test?
- 17:06Speaker 3: Do you know what I found out the other day?
- 17:10Speaker 1: Apparently not a single Christopher Nolan film passes the Bechdel test.
- 17:14Speaker 3: Like, not one.
- 17:15Speaker 4: Oh, no. He barely has any women in it. Women
- 17:17Speaker 4: don't talk very much at all in his films, if
- 17:20Speaker 4: they exist at all. Crazy. Crazy, crazy, crazy.
- 17:24Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 17:25Speaker 4: Well, I mean, they've also been accused of having no emotion.
- 17:27Speaker 4: So if you can't have emotion, you can't have women, obviously.
- 17:29Speaker 4: They're the emotional heart of these stories, Matthew. So, yeah.
- 17:33Speaker 1: The Views Express or Mitchell James Lewis do not include
- 17:35Speaker 1: those in Get It To Gate LLC.
- 17:37Speaker 4: You don't agree that women show emotional range in watching
- 17:41Speaker 4: film and television?
- 17:41Speaker 1: That's not what you said.
- 17:43Speaker 4: You said women were emotional. You said women were emotional. No,
- 17:46Speaker 4: I said they are the emotional heart of stories and
- 17:50Speaker 4: you denied that. You actually said that those views do
- 17:53Speaker 4: not match yours. That's interesting. Anyway.
- 17:54Speaker 1: No, no, no.
- 17:55Speaker 4: I show more respect to female characters.
- 17:57Speaker 1: The views expressed by Mitchell, James and Lewis are his
- 17:59Speaker 1: and do not reflect those of Gatorgate LLC.
- 18:02Speaker 4: The fact that you said that was very noted. So
- 18:04Speaker 4: whether you're distancing yourself away from me saying that women
- 18:06Speaker 4: are respectable and equal characters in stories, that's fine.
- 18:09Speaker 3: You didn't use any of those adjectives.
- 18:10Speaker 4: I feel like it was implied. You said women are emotional, mate. No,
- 18:14Speaker 4: you can read between the lines.
- 18:17Speaker 2: I said they nag a lot. Does that help? Does
- 18:22Speaker 2: that help?
- 18:23Speaker 1: Another shout out to Badana.
- 18:24Speaker 2: How are you? So what did you make of the
- 18:28Speaker 2: heaven or whatever that was?
- 18:31Speaker 4: Yeah, like, I mean, usually when stuff like this happens, okay,
- 18:36Speaker 4: this is just in her head. It's her way of
- 18:37Speaker 4: dealing with it. We can see her body, you know,
- 18:40Speaker 4: like if it is a physical thing, clearly she is
- 18:42Speaker 4: still on the ship and this is just her like consciousness,
- 18:45Speaker 4: you know, coming up with some type of, you know, narrative, fantasy, whatever,
- 18:49Speaker 4: to deal with what's going on. but of course this
- 18:52Speaker 4: is Stargate.
- 18:53Speaker 2: This is sci-fi.
- 18:54Speaker 4: And in particular, this is Stargate universe. So there is
- 18:57Speaker 4: a chance that what's being talked about here, um, by
- 19:02Speaker 4: old mate, whose name escapes me is real. God boy. Yeah.
- 19:06Speaker 4: God boy.
- 19:06Speaker 3: Dr.
- 19:07Speaker 4: Creepy God boy. Especially when they are, they are coming
- 19:09Speaker 4: off like a little bit different. Like they've, you know,
- 19:12Speaker 4: they've found God and like four minutes later, they're, you know,
- 19:15Speaker 4: like lifetime, you know, believers or whatever.
- 19:17Speaker 3: But, um, We found God in a hopeless place. Yeah.
- 19:22Speaker 4: But then, I don't know, like, it was... We don't
- 19:25Speaker 4: obviously find out too much, but then going out and
- 19:27Speaker 4: then seeing that phenomenon in the sky and the star
- 19:32Speaker 4: cluster that was or whatever, and then to get to
- 19:35Speaker 4: the end and that's what she sees, it's like, okay, well,
- 19:38Speaker 4: you know, she's seen a lot of shit, but she couldn't, like,
- 19:40Speaker 4: just presume that sort of vision and come up with
- 19:44Speaker 4: it in her own head and then for it to match. And, like,
- 19:46Speaker 4: that was... You know, something's going to tug on your
- 19:49Speaker 4: heartstrings in this episode. It's going to be that, like
- 19:51Speaker 4: she's seeing that. And it's like, she may as well,
- 19:53Speaker 4: they may as well refer to that as the, as,
- 19:55Speaker 4: as the common, whatever, you know, like she could call
- 19:58Speaker 4: it that, like that's.
- 20:00Speaker 1: The problem is though, is, is the, the, the deleted
- 20:03Speaker 1: scene you didn't say it was, was the actual ending
- 20:06Speaker 1: of the episode where, Where after that, after she went
- 20:09Speaker 1: and saw the Carmen nebula, she then had to go
- 20:13Speaker 1: and bury her child's body.
- 20:15Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I thought this time around. I'm going,
- 20:19Speaker 2: where's the body?
- 20:20Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 20:22Speaker 4: I found myself going, why is no one else weirded
- 20:24Speaker 4: out by the fact that she seems to no longer...
- 20:27Speaker 4: Because when they walked in, and I know, Camille, is
- 20:30Speaker 4: this the start of when you said to me at
- 20:32Speaker 4: the last SGU podcast, oh, you just wait. She can
- 20:35Speaker 4: do everything in season two. I'm like, is she operating
- 20:38Speaker 4: on these people? I know that she had a doctor
- 20:40Speaker 4: take over her body, but then she seemed really like
- 20:44Speaker 4: aware of everything that was going on and really emotionally invested.
- 20:47Speaker 4: So when she's like, oh, TJ, whatever, oh, the baby, oh,
- 20:52Speaker 4: they're doing everything they can. She's really sad and whatnot.
- 20:54Speaker 4: But I'm like, I didn't, I took that as if
- 20:56Speaker 4: they were still trying, like the heartbeat was weak, whatever
- 20:59Speaker 4: was going on, that the baby was still obviously inside
- 21:03Speaker 4: of her, she's dying. They're trying to save its life,
- 21:06Speaker 4: both their lives. And then come the end where they're like,
- 21:09Speaker 4: there she is. They take the blanket off. She's clearly
- 21:12Speaker 4: not pregnant anymore. The baby's not still inside her and
- 21:15Speaker 4: no one's weirded out by that. And I'm like, at
- 21:16Speaker 4: what stage did the vacuum come out? Yeah. So did
- 21:21Speaker 4: like these, did that really happen? And, and, and the
- 21:23Speaker 4: consciousness of the baby has been physically transported to um
- 21:28Speaker 4: across the universe she's there you know.
- 21:31Speaker 3: Across the universe.
- 21:34Speaker 4: But then still no one's weirded out like is is
- 21:36Speaker 4: the baby just going to be like some weird you
- 21:38Speaker 4: know phantom memory that everyone on the ship is going
- 21:40Speaker 4: to have but she's going to know that it was
- 21:41Speaker 4: real and then obviously we saw that young was you
- 21:44Speaker 4: know well i i hope that's the reason but he
- 21:46Speaker 4: was pretty pretty affected by by that uh maybe it
- 21:50Speaker 4: was just wait till next week sure sure um and
- 21:55Speaker 4: how much of that is um You know, just by,
- 21:58Speaker 4: by TJ, like, you know, I I've, I've been in
- 22:00Speaker 4: that situation. We had, we had a miscarriage between our
- 22:02Speaker 4: first and our second boys and it was after like
- 22:05Speaker 4: seven weeks or so. And like, so we'd known about, Oh, maybe,
- 22:09Speaker 4: maybe a week or two later that, but like it
- 22:11Speaker 4: was early on, but we'd known about it for, for
- 22:13Speaker 4: a couple of weeks and then. You know, but I'm
- 22:16Speaker 4: not like, I can't see it. You know, there's no
- 22:18Speaker 4: sort of physical transformation. And Sarah, you can't see that
- 22:20Speaker 4: she's pregnant. I can't feel what she's feeling. So when
- 22:24Speaker 4: we found out that we'd lost the baby, like my reaction,
- 22:27Speaker 4: my emotion, my sadness was around her. Like not the
- 22:31Speaker 4: idea of this baby or anything. And once we had
- 22:33Speaker 4: my second kid, I'm like, had we have had that baby,
- 22:35Speaker 4: I don't get Luke. And I'm like, I can't imagine
- 22:37Speaker 4: a world without Luke. So it's almost like that's just
- 22:40Speaker 4: completely in my past. So I'm looking at him going,
- 22:43Speaker 4: was he reacting to TJ?
- 22:44Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 22:44Speaker 4: Because he never saw this baby. He saw it growing
- 22:46Speaker 4: inside of her, but how much of his emotion is
- 22:49Speaker 4: driven by how upset she clearly was, where she couldn't
- 22:52Speaker 4: even look at him. And then I'm thinking, I'm like, shit,
- 22:54Speaker 4: like you hear those stories, right? Those, those women like who,
- 22:57Speaker 4: who can't conceive easily. And, and when pregnancies fail in
- 23:02Speaker 4: the early stages so often, and it's mainly through film
- 23:06Speaker 4: and TV that I watch it, but I mean, I
- 23:08Speaker 4: guess some of this, you know, the writing stages is
- 23:09Speaker 4: coming from, from real world events and whatnot. And, And
- 23:12Speaker 4: these women say they feel like failures and they feel
- 23:14Speaker 4: like they're letting their partner down and their future children down.
- 23:17Speaker 4: They're letting themselves down by not being able to do
- 23:19Speaker 4: something that is in no way, shape or form their control.
- 23:22Speaker 4: So seeing TJ just sort of like look away from
- 23:24Speaker 4: Young as she was crying, she's so overwhelmed with emotion.
- 23:30Speaker 4: But then also with him added into it as well,
- 23:32Speaker 4: it was like, I don't know, it's just a lot.
- 23:33Speaker 4: And it was all in a montage to what, Mumford
- 23:37Speaker 4: and Sons needle drop?
- 23:38Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I don't like the... Bloody needle drops.
- 23:42Speaker 4: Just frustrating.
- 23:43Speaker 1: The most 2011 band ever, Mumford & Sons.
- 23:46Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah. I've never minded them so much in this
- 23:50Speaker 4: show as this where I'm like, I'm interested in everything
- 23:52Speaker 4: that's going on here. Show me this. Show me this
- 23:54Speaker 4: for five minutes. Show me this for ten minutes where
- 23:56Speaker 4: I'm getting dialogue. Funny, actually, the Mumford & Sons because
- 24:00Speaker 4: that was the band that my radio show was interviewing
- 24:03Speaker 4: and I was producing for and my wife was waiting
- 24:06Speaker 4: downstairs in the car. having her waters having already had
- 24:08Speaker 4: broken and I was taken to the hospital. I'm like,
- 24:10Speaker 4: if you just give me a second, we're just interviewing
- 24:12Speaker 4: Mumford and Sons. I'll be down in 10. And then
- 24:15Speaker 4: my first- So Stargate Universe, guys, you're in that. Nine,
- 24:18Speaker 4: nine later. Yeah, well, actually, that would have been about
- 24:22Speaker 4: a year later. Yeah, well, what's this, like 2011, this thing?
- 24:26Speaker 3: September 2010. September 2010.
- 24:27Speaker 4: Okay, well, October 2012 was- was when the interview happened.
- 24:32Speaker 4: So yeah, long past, long past.
- 24:34Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 24:35Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it was, yeah, it was a lot going on.
- 24:37Speaker 1: Imagine if that whole montage had been like a Jerry Goldsmith, sorry,
- 24:41Speaker 1: Joel Goldsmith score.
- 24:45Speaker 2: Yeah, that would have been way better.
- 24:47Speaker 3: Doing what he knows, doing what he knows best.
- 24:49Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 24:50Speaker 1: Because I don't believe he passed away yet at this point,
- 24:53Speaker 1: didn't he? He passed away very soon after.
- 24:55Speaker 2: After.
- 24:55Speaker 3: After Universe, right?
- 24:56Speaker 2: Yeah. I think a year after.
- 24:59Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 25:00Speaker 4: I agree that Yeah, the TJ stuff is the most
- 25:03Speaker 4: interesting and important stuff in this episode. But other than that,
- 25:06Speaker 4: I'm like, you know what? I guess now, because we're
- 25:08Speaker 4: going to have to... This isn't going to be a four-parter.
- 25:10Speaker 4: We're going to need control of this ship by the
- 25:11Speaker 4: end of this episode. So I'm like, just give me
- 25:14Speaker 4: some no-holds-barred, TV-friendly action, obviously, where they just take control.
- 25:21Speaker 4: And when Scott and Greer got back... uh, inside the ship.
- 25:26Speaker 4: And it's like, all right, give us 15 minutes. We'll
- 25:28Speaker 4: go in and we'll do. And I'm like, hell yes.
- 25:30Speaker 4: Just let Greer take the leash off and let him
- 25:33Speaker 4: go out there and John Wick these priests, you know,
- 25:35Speaker 4: and just completely take things down. And like, we didn't
- 25:38Speaker 4: get that, but also I like seeing these characters go
- 25:41Speaker 4: into these situations. Cause I naturally assume that a lot
- 25:44Speaker 4: of the enemies that, you know, SG1, SGA have, have
- 25:47Speaker 4: always taken on untrained, you know, like I assume that
- 25:50Speaker 4: Jafar and I are out there going through rigorous military training.
- 25:54Speaker 4: It's just like, hey, slave boy, put this armour on
- 25:57Speaker 4: and you now fight for Apophis. Here's a weapon. Here's
- 26:00Speaker 4: a snake helmet. Go.
- 26:02Speaker 2: No, we did see, remember in the.
- 26:05Speaker 4: Oh, there's definitely training, yeah.
- 26:06Speaker 2: Remember the way we were in Chainmail to bed? That's
- 26:11Speaker 2: first prime training. Yeah, you're probably right. Throw him as
- 26:14Speaker 2: that and get out there, you mug. Yeah, he's going
- 26:17Speaker 2: to die anyway.
- 26:18Speaker 4: Yeah, like Greer and Scott have definitely had way more
- 26:21Speaker 4: training than people I hope in the Lucian Alliance. So
- 26:24Speaker 4: I'm like, if you're going to have these two guys
- 26:26Speaker 4: go up against another two guys, our guys are going
- 26:28Speaker 4: to win. Okay, they've got plot armor on them. They've
- 26:30Speaker 4: got main character energy. But at the same time, I'm like,
- 26:33Speaker 4: surely they should not have, unless it's 20 to 1.
- 26:37Speaker 4: And even then, I would kind of still back them
- 26:39Speaker 4: for plot armor. But surely I would back these guys
- 26:41Speaker 4: because of how much training they've went through in the
- 26:44Speaker 4: American military.
- 26:46Speaker 1: I had an issue with their plot, though, because it
- 26:50Speaker 1: either didn't make sense or we didn't get a resolution
- 26:53Speaker 1: to it because maybe a scene was cut for time
- 26:55Speaker 1: or something like that. But after they get back inside
- 26:59Speaker 1: and hook up with Chloe and Eli and they say, OK,
- 27:02Speaker 1: we need to separate. You guys need to go rush.
- 27:04Speaker 1: We're going to go and do some recon.
- 27:06Speaker 5: Right.
- 27:07Speaker 1: So Greer and Scott go off and do their recon,
- 27:11Speaker 1: boot leather, boot leather, boot leather. They take out a
- 27:13Speaker 1: couple of guys. They're hiding from a couple of guys
- 27:15Speaker 1: at about 11 minutes into the episode. And Greer says,
- 27:19Speaker 1: we need weapons. And then Scott says, there's something else
- 27:23Speaker 1: we need more. But then the next time we see
- 27:27Speaker 1: them is at the 20 minute mark where they meet
- 27:31Speaker 1: back up with Chloe and Eli who are with Rush
- 27:35Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. And then he just like,
- 27:38Speaker 1: he's like, oh, we have Intel. We know this, we
- 27:40Speaker 1: know this, we know this, but we didn't see it.
- 27:44Speaker 1: And we already knew they were going to get recon.
- 27:46Speaker 1: So why did he say there's something we need more
- 27:48Speaker 1: than weapons? Like, I just, it just felt weird and
- 27:52Speaker 1: out of place. Like I think it would've been better
- 27:54Speaker 1: if there just wasn't a line at all. And it
- 27:55Speaker 1: was just them evading, you know, people or being in
- 27:59Speaker 1: the background while things were happening. So we understood that, oh,
- 28:03Speaker 1: they're finding out all this information about, you know, what
- 28:05Speaker 1: the new status quo is.
- 28:07Speaker 4: It almost needed a soap opera, like, dramatic zoom in. Like,
- 28:12Speaker 4: we need something more.
- 28:15Speaker 1: Don't twist the knife, Mitch. As of recording this, it's
- 28:19Speaker 1: Thursday night for us here in Australia. The latest episode
- 28:21Speaker 1: of Star Trek Strange New World has dropped.
- 28:23Speaker 4: Yep.
- 28:24Speaker 1: And while you guys took a dinner break, I watched
- 28:27Speaker 1: the first sort of 15, 20 minutes of that. And
- 28:30Speaker 1: every episode this season has been some kind of terrible
- 28:33Speaker 1: genre gimmick. And this week's is Days of Our Lives.
- 28:38Speaker 4: Oh, great.
- 28:39Speaker 3: So it's a, yeah, it's a.
- 28:41Speaker 2: Why are they doing that?
- 28:44Speaker 3: Don't ask me, mate. I got no idea.
- 28:49Speaker 2: Strange. It's very sad.
- 28:52Speaker 3: Yeah. Strange new worlds indeed.
- 28:57Speaker 1: What I did love about the plan to, like, you know,
- 29:00Speaker 1: for Rush and his group to retake the ship and
- 29:03Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff You know, because my first, oh, yeah, just,
- 29:07Speaker 1: you know, turn off the air supply to everybody or
- 29:10Speaker 1: turn off the shield so they all get a radio.
- 29:12Speaker 3: And they're like, yeah, but TJ.
- 29:13Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, yeah, we've got to save TJ.
- 29:15Speaker 1: At no point did any of them say Telford's name.
- 29:19Speaker 3: At any point.
- 29:20Speaker 1: They're like, we have to rescue TJ. No one gave
- 29:23Speaker 1: a fuck about rescuing Telford.
- 29:25Speaker 2: And I'm like. I was actually confused. I remember the
- 29:27Speaker 2: first time I watched this, I was like, I just
- 29:30Speaker 2: assumed Telford was a bad guy. Still, I never bought
- 29:35Speaker 2: the whole brainwashing shit.
- 29:37Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I mean, it was just such a big
- 29:39Speaker 1: point of the previous episode and, you know, Scott blowing
- 29:44Speaker 1: up the locks about it because he wasn't being told
- 29:46Speaker 1: about it and all that kind of stuff.
- 29:48Speaker 2: But I never had any emotional attachment to him, so
- 29:51Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't care. It's not like when Tilt
- 29:53Speaker 2: got brainwashed and you actually gave a shit. He's just like,
- 29:57Speaker 2: I was with Camille almost from last episode where she's like,
- 30:01Speaker 2: are we really going to trust this guy?
- 30:04Speaker 1: That's a big call for you to say you're on
- 30:06Speaker 1: Camille's team.
- 30:07Speaker 2: She's no weird, mate.
- 30:10Speaker 3: Damn straight.
- 30:11Speaker 2: Damn skippy.
- 30:12Speaker 3: I did see the old lady, though, at the end.
- 30:15Speaker 2: Oh, did you?
- 30:17Speaker 1: Yeah, she gave Camille a little smile, a little nod,
- 30:19Speaker 1: a little, hey, what are you doing?
- 30:21Speaker 3: What are you doing later?
- 30:23Speaker 2: Nice.
- 30:24Speaker 4: I'm old and curious.
- 30:27Speaker 2: My husband is lazy.
- 30:30Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 30:30Speaker 1: You ever seen me suck a soup dumpling?
- 30:32Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 30:33Speaker 1: Take my dentures out and....
- 30:36Speaker 2: Shit, yeah.
- 30:38Speaker 4: I mean, I've never engaged in any conversation around this
- 30:43Speaker 4: old woman. I've just always chalked it up as me
- 30:47Speaker 4: having missed her. At this juncture, just you bringing that up,
- 30:50Speaker 4: then I'm like, is it at this point where I
- 30:52Speaker 4: raise and I go, okay... This is like a joke
- 30:55Speaker 4: on me, right? Like she actually doesn't exist. And then,
- 30:58Speaker 4: you know, next week I'll go, oh, no, that's her. Yeah,
- 31:01Speaker 4: I have seen her before.
- 31:02Speaker 1: I never noticed her until Brendan brought her up in
- 31:07Speaker 1: season one. I've never noticed her before in my entire life.
- 31:11Speaker 4: Okay. So she's real.
- 31:13Speaker 2: Well, it's just like those Marvel Universe extras.
- 31:17Speaker 3: As real as TJ's baby is. So, yeah.
- 31:21Speaker 2: I've seen those Marvel extras.
- 31:23Speaker 4: Not the Marvel extra from Doctor Strange, the Multiverse of
- 31:27Speaker 4: Madness in the Church, where she's like over.
- 31:29Speaker 2: I've seen that on Instagram.
- 31:32Speaker 3: Looks a lot like her, actually, yeah.
- 31:33Speaker 4: Yeah, right, yeah.
- 31:35Speaker 2: Yeah, a bit older.
- 31:38Speaker 1: Speaking of TJ's baby, I do want to make a
- 31:40Speaker 1: formal statement in terms of in the last episode, or
- 31:45Speaker 1: was it the finale episode or our special episode after that?
- 31:49Speaker 3: When I made a joke that.
- 31:52Speaker 1: TJ loses the baby. And Brendan's like, spoiler, spoiler.
- 31:57Speaker 3: I had no idea.
- 31:58Speaker 1: I remember the baby going to live on the, on
- 32:01Speaker 1: the God planet at some point, but I do not
- 32:02Speaker 1: remember her losing the baby at all. Cause to me,
- 32:06Speaker 1: it's creepy as hell.
- 32:08Speaker 2: I thought you were going to say, cause you, it's
- 32:09Speaker 2: a clump of cells.
- 32:11Speaker 3: Well, that too.
- 32:13Speaker 1: Um, but just the fact that they wrote in Elena
- 32:18Speaker 1: Huffman's real baby.
- 32:20Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 32:21Speaker 3: And then.
- 32:22Speaker 2: Was it her real child?
- 32:25Speaker 1: Yeah. No, not the baby that was in the show.
- 32:27Speaker 3: That wasn't her. That wasn't her actual baby.
- 32:29Speaker 4: Yeah, right.
- 32:31Speaker 1: The fact that they wrote in her real life pregnancy
- 32:34Speaker 1: into the show to then, as soon as she popped
- 32:37Speaker 1: that kid out, she's like, dead baby. So she's basically
- 32:41Speaker 1: got to mourn the baby that she, like, TJ is
- 32:47Speaker 1: mourning the bump that Elena.
- 32:49Speaker 3: Had in real life.
- 32:50Speaker 1: Like, it's a weird, creepy kind of thing.
- 32:53Speaker 2: I think if I ever interviewed Elena Huffman, I would
- 32:57Speaker 2: have asked, that's got to be weird, right?
- 33:00Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 33:00Speaker 2: You literally just have your baby, and then you have
- 33:04Speaker 2: to pretend that your baby died.
- 33:07Speaker 3: Yeah, like in this.
- 33:08Speaker 2: And we're going to film it.
- 33:10Speaker 1: In the commentary, she says, like, her actual baby is, like,
- 33:12Speaker 1: three months old at this point.
- 33:14Speaker 4: Fucking Cooper?
- 33:14Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 33:15Speaker 2: Sick fuck.
- 33:17Speaker 3: Yeah, it does feel that way. It just felt very,
- 33:19Speaker 3: very creepy to me.
- 33:20Speaker 1: The other creepy thing, and how you can tell this
- 33:22Speaker 1: is written by men, is also that weird thing when.
- 33:25Speaker 3: TJ's in the cabin.
- 33:28Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 33:28Speaker 3: And Paul. When TJ's in the cabin talking with Dr. McCreepy.
- 33:34Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right. She should be talking.
- 33:39Speaker 3: She's barefoot and pregnant. Close enough.
- 33:42Speaker 1: The other two people come to visit. And they hug
- 33:45Speaker 1: TJ and say, hi, how are you going? And they're like,
- 33:48Speaker 1: we're here to see the baby. And she's like, the
- 33:50Speaker 1: baby's sleeping. And they're like, we'll be quiet.
- 33:53Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 33:54Speaker 1: And then walk away and then go and stare at
- 33:57Speaker 1: her baby while she's not even in the room with
- 33:59Speaker 1: them and ignore her.
- 34:00Speaker 4: And then God Boy's like, hey, cool, we can go
- 34:03Speaker 4: for a walk now. She's like, what if the baby goes?
- 34:05Speaker 4: They'll look after her. And I'm like, don't even worry
- 34:07Speaker 4: about it.
- 34:08Speaker 2: It's already dead. Relax.
- 34:11Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very low maintenance. Very low maintenance babies.
- 34:14Speaker 4: Oh, extremely.
- 34:16Speaker 1: And when it cries, you can shake it all you
- 34:19Speaker 1: want because it's not going to make a difference.
- 34:21Speaker 4: It's like that Family Guy clip. I don't know what
- 34:24Speaker 4: the setup was. There's a little flashback and it's like,
- 34:27Speaker 4: I thought if I shook him enough, he'd stop crying.
- 34:30Speaker 4: And Lois is crying and he goes, I was kind
- 34:33Speaker 4: of right.
- 34:33Speaker 1: God, I do not remember that.
- 34:36Speaker 4: It's demented, man. It's so bad. Did anyone see, and
- 34:40Speaker 4: I'm speaking probably more to Brendan than I am to Maddie,
- 34:44Speaker 4: the Darren Aronofsky movie Mother with Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem?
- 34:52Speaker 3: Yeah, never saw it.
- 34:53Speaker 4: It's a weird.
- 34:53Speaker 2: I don't know if she eats it, maybe, or something.
- 34:56Speaker 4: No, she doesn't eat it, but it is this weird...
- 35:00Speaker 4: I don't even know whether it would be deemed... I
- 35:02Speaker 4: guess I didn't know until afterwards, but I think if
- 35:04Speaker 4: I would have known, it would have helped me watch it.
- 35:05Speaker 4: But it is this very allegorical movie but shit's going
- 35:09Speaker 4: weird and stuff. Oh, no.
- 35:11Speaker 2: I haven't seen it.
- 35:12Speaker 4: Yeah, okay. Well, something weird happens.
- 35:14Speaker 3: Wasn't it because she was Aronofsky at the time or something?
- 35:17Speaker 4: No, no, no. She rooted the... No, no, no. I'm
- 35:19Speaker 4: thinking that. It's Kristen Stewart. No, Lawrence was... No, she wasn't...
- 35:23Speaker 4: Nothing going on with Aronofsky, I don't think. Anyway, all right.
- 35:26Speaker 4: It just reminded... If you've seen Mother, there is a
- 35:29Speaker 4: scene that that scene in SGU reminded me of.
- 35:32Speaker 2: So, anyway.
- 35:34Speaker 4: Moving on. May or may not... may or may not
- 35:37Speaker 4: make the cut in the end. That little reference that
- 35:40Speaker 4: went nowhere. Yeah, yeah, that's absolutely not what happens when
- 35:48Speaker 4: you have a, especially your first, and people just show
- 35:50Speaker 4: up going, hey, like, nah, not a good time. You're like,
- 35:54Speaker 4: we'll be the judge of that. I don't think so.
- 35:56Speaker 2: We'll be quiet.
- 35:57Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 35:58Speaker 2: We'll be calm down. Can you turn that radio down, guys?
- 36:01Speaker 3: Hey, Mitchell, Mitchell, Mitchell.
- 36:04Speaker 1: Just quietly go f * * * yourself. Jennifer Lawrence
- 36:06Speaker 1: and Darren Aronofsky worked together on the 2017 psychological horror
- 36:09Speaker 1: film Mother and dated for roughly one year before splitting
- 36:12Speaker 1: up in late 2017. Wow.
- 36:13Speaker 3: According to who?
- 36:16Speaker 4: Google. Did you watch it? Did she tell you?
- 36:19Speaker 1: Well, I just remember an interview with Jennifer Lawrence once
- 36:22Speaker 1: and she was saying, like, I was hooking up with him.
- 36:25Speaker 1: Of course I said yes to the movie. Like, she
- 36:27Speaker 1: knew she was, you know, she was doing a not
- 36:31Speaker 1: great film.
- 36:33Speaker 4: Yeah, it is, or it was, I guess it still exists,
- 36:37Speaker 4: but it was one of those weird ones where I'm like,
- 36:40Speaker 4: I don't know what I just watched. And then afterwards
- 36:44Speaker 4: went and listened to a spoiler heavy podcast about it.
- 36:48Speaker 4: And when they sort of explained it in a way
- 36:50Speaker 4: that my tiny pea brain wasn't able to comprehend it
- 36:54Speaker 4: while watching it. I'm like, oh, yeah, I guess that's
- 36:58Speaker 4: what it was. I don't know if it makes it
- 36:59Speaker 4: any better, but I kind of want to go back
- 37:01Speaker 4: and eventually want to go back and re-watch it through
- 37:05Speaker 4: that lens that I'm not just watching a black and
- 37:08Speaker 4: white narrative. It is from the moment the first frame starts,
- 37:13Speaker 4: you're watching an allegory.
- 37:15Speaker 3: He's 57.
- 37:16Speaker 4: Yeah, well, she's our age. She's like, I think she's
- 37:19Speaker 4: my age. Google that for me.
- 37:21Speaker 2: How old is she?
- 37:23Speaker 3: She's 36, mate.
- 37:23Speaker 2: You wish.
- 37:24Speaker 4: Bullshit.
- 37:24Speaker 2: Okay.
- 37:25Speaker 4: Yeah. All right.
- 37:27Speaker 1: He was born in 1969. She was born in 1990.
- 37:29Speaker 1: So he's old enough to be her father. Like he
- 37:33Speaker 1: could have fathered her.
- 37:34Speaker 2: Hot. What?
- 37:35Speaker 3: At 21.
- 37:37Speaker 1: You do love pregnant women. So that, actually, I'm not
- 37:39Speaker 1: sure how that tracks.
- 37:42Speaker 4: I mean, on that, no, no, it was a joke.
- 37:44Speaker 4: We did, you know, we did have a laugh about
- 37:47Speaker 4: that in the last pod. But as you said, as
- 37:49Speaker 4: we record, only a couple of days ago, they announced
- 37:54Speaker 4: that they're doing Days of Thunder 2. You know, Tom Cruise,
- 37:58Speaker 4: the racing film that I've actually still never seen. Oh,
- 38:01Speaker 4: me neither. That starred him and I guess, what, before
- 38:04Speaker 4: they were married, but while they were still, were they
- 38:07Speaker 4: together at the time?
- 38:08Speaker 3: Oh, Nicole Kidman.
- 38:09Speaker 4: Him and Nicole Kidman, right?
- 38:10Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 38:10Speaker 4: Isn't that a BMX movie? I want to say that
- 38:13Speaker 4: was 1990. No, no, no. She did a BMX thing,
- 38:15Speaker 4: I think, prior to that, but this was NASCAR. Oh, okay.
- 38:19Speaker 4: But they're doing a sequel. Anne Hathaway is the female
- 38:21Speaker 4: lead in this. And I think she's going to be
- 38:24Speaker 4: like a team owner and an engineer or something, you know.
- 38:27Speaker 4: Whether or not she turns into a love interest, kind
- 38:29Speaker 4: of hope not because, you know.
- 38:30Speaker 1: Tom Cruise is... You know, the Mitch 1990 was Days
- 38:32Speaker 1: of Thunder.
- 38:32Speaker 4: God damn it, I'm good.
- 38:35Speaker 3: You're welcome, Holly.
- 38:36Speaker 4: Oh, my God. Your little fiddle fingers on Google have
- 38:38Speaker 4: been going crazy. But, you know, Randy Quaid, who the
- 38:44Speaker 4: weird cousin from the vacation films, he's the.
- 38:47Speaker 3: The lesser of the two Quaids.
- 38:48Speaker 4: Yes, yes, and the loony from Independence Day. And he
- 38:53Speaker 4: was obviously in Days of Thunder, and he came out
- 38:55Speaker 4: and blasted it and said, what a horrible choice. Anne
- 38:58Speaker 4: Hathaway is not– she doesn't have any sex appeal. And
- 39:01Speaker 4: I'm like, I'll stop you there. Are you joking? I know.
- 39:05Speaker 4: And then said– but this is like a tweet. He
- 39:07Speaker 4: was writing it to Tom Cruise. He said, she doesn't
- 39:09Speaker 4: have any sex appeal because– it wasn't like and. It
- 39:12Speaker 4: was because– and if you haven't noticed, she's pregnant. So
- 39:16Speaker 4: it's like she doesn't have sex appeal– And because she's pregnant,
- 39:19Speaker 4: I was like, well, I mean, I.
- 39:21Speaker 3: He doesn't understand causality, does he?
- 39:23Speaker 4: I will take pause to that, my friend.
- 39:25Speaker 2: There's an entire tab on Pornhub for that.
- 39:28Speaker 4: What are you talking about? about? But also, there's an
- 39:32Speaker 4: audience there.
- 39:33Speaker 3: How do you think she got pregnant?
- 39:35Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 39:35Speaker 1: Someone found her sexually attractive.
- 39:37Speaker 2: Like, Jesus.
- 39:38Speaker 4: Yeah, surely. I mean, you can say that you don't
- 39:41Speaker 4: find a pregnant woman. That'd be one thing. But it's
- 39:44Speaker 4: sort of like, oh, Anne Hathaway. It's like, come on, mate.
- 39:46Speaker 4: Come on, mate.
- 39:46Speaker 1: Really?
- 39:46Speaker 2: Anne Hathaway?
- 39:47Speaker 4: Anne Hathaway?
- 39:48Speaker 1: Can I say, though, just on that, Nicole Kidman. Now,
- 39:53Speaker 1: I've never really rated her as a great actress.
- 39:56Speaker 3: No.
- 39:56Speaker 1: Like, I've always found her, she's just kind of fine. Like,
- 39:59Speaker 1: she just kind of, you know, like, don't get me wrong,
- 40:01Speaker 1: I fucking love Moulin Rouge. That's probably one of my
- 40:04Speaker 1: top 20 most watched films ever. Like, I watched, I
- 40:08Speaker 1: broke the VHS watching, like, her and Ewan McGregor.
- 40:14Speaker 4: But I've never really read.
- 40:15Speaker 2: Singing Come What May in the shower, mate.
- 40:17Speaker 1: No, come what may, in a giant elephant at the
- 40:19Speaker 1: Moulin Rouge, mate.
- 40:20Speaker 2: Gorgeous.
- 40:24Speaker 3: But I've always just been like.
- 40:25Speaker 2: I don't know what that means, but it's hilarious.
- 40:27Speaker 1: There's literally a giant elephant in the front courtyard of
- 40:30Speaker 1: the Moulin Rouge, and that's her little courtesan room where
- 40:33Speaker 1: she has sex with all her gentlemen.
- 40:35Speaker 3: Callers, because she's a courtesan. It's a great movie, great movie.
- 40:39Speaker 1: But, yeah, I've always just been like, I don't understand
- 40:41Speaker 1: what the fascination is with Nicole Kidman. I don't think
- 40:45Speaker 1: she's that good. I've enjoyed a lot of her films,
- 40:46Speaker 1: but I'm just like, I don't know. Well, the last
- 40:49Speaker 1: couple of weeks I've been watching that new, well, it's
- 40:51Speaker 1: not new, but that Lioness with Zoe Saldana. Nicole Kidman
- 40:57Speaker 1: is fucking phenomenal in that.
- 40:59Speaker 2: Yeah, man.
- 40:59Speaker 3: She is so fucking good.
- 41:01Speaker 4: There's that other one, Big Little Lies, with Reese Witherspoon,
- 41:04Speaker 4: Shailene Woodley, and Zoe Kravitz.
- 41:06Speaker 3: I've heard mixed stuff about that one.
- 41:08Speaker 4: I really like this. There's only two seasons, and there
- 41:12Speaker 4: was season two, her mother-in-law is played by Meryl Streep,
- 41:16Speaker 4: and they're in a court drama, and it's Meryl Streep
- 41:19Speaker 4: acting against Nicole Kidman, and I'm like, that's the greatest
- 41:22Speaker 4: acting I've seen all year. It was just fucking outstanding.
- 41:25Speaker 4: And yeah, Nicole's like that. I don't really... I didn't
- 41:29Speaker 4: care for her. I didn't care for her. But occasionally
- 41:32Speaker 4: she'll do something and I'm like, God damn it. Yeah,
- 41:34Speaker 4: you are pretty good, aren't you? And then it kind
- 41:36Speaker 4: of fades and I can't give a shit. So, you know,
- 41:39Speaker 4: when I go see Practical Magic 2, it's only going
- 41:41Speaker 4: to be for Sandra Bullock, if you know what I'm saying.
- 41:44Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 41:45Speaker 1: I made the mistake of getting High as a Kite
- 41:46Speaker 1: last weekend and re-watching Practical Magic 1.
- 41:49Speaker 4: I've never seen it.
- 41:52Speaker 3: It didn't hold up the way I wanted it to.
- 41:53Speaker 2: I went to the movie. Oh, was that 97? 8, 98, yeah.
- 41:58Speaker 2: We were in great shape.
- 41:59Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, yeah.
- 42:01Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 42:01Speaker 4: No, I understood the Sarah. I'm like, have you seen it?
- 42:03Speaker 4: She goes, of course. I'm like, oh, okay. I never have.
- 42:06Speaker 4: I'm like, can we please watch it so that, you know,
- 42:08Speaker 4: when the second one comes out, I don't feel like
- 42:10Speaker 4: I'm behind the story.
- 42:11Speaker 2: Oh, they're actually making one.
- 42:12Speaker 4: It comes out next Thursday. It's already made.
- 42:13Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll be doing the.
- 42:14Speaker 2: Why? Elle.
- 42:16Speaker 4: Well, yeah, good question.
- 42:17Speaker 3: Elle has been on the podcast.
- 42:19Speaker 1: She actually worked the red carpet in LA just the
- 42:21Speaker 1: other day.
- 42:22Speaker 4: Yeah, right.
- 42:22Speaker 2: Maybe 2007, not now. I know, 28 years later. 20
- 42:23Speaker 2: years too late, guys.
- 42:28Speaker 1: Yeah, and at the end of the film, Sandra Bullock's character.
- 42:33Speaker 4: Had a couple of.
- 42:34Speaker 2: So you're going to ruin it for years to see
- 42:35Speaker 2: in the movie.
- 42:36Speaker 3: No, I'm not.
- 42:38Speaker 1: Had a couple of 10-year-old girls. Like, they're a plot.
- 42:43Speaker 3: In the film.
- 42:44Speaker 4: No, all right, okay, hold on.
- 42:45Speaker 1: Hold on a second.
- 42:46Speaker 4: Hold on.
- 42:47Speaker 1: I'm just going to put the Sandra Bullock practical magic
- 42:49Speaker 1: chat to the side. Now, going back to what I
- 42:51Speaker 1: said about TJ in the last episode, I said, jokingly,
- 42:56Speaker 1: that she loses the baby.
- 42:57Speaker 3: And you said.
- 42:58Speaker 2: You weren't joking.
- 43:00Speaker 3: You said, spoiler alert.
- 43:02Speaker 1: Now, here's the thing.
- 43:04Speaker 2: So you haven't seen the show?
- 43:06Speaker 3: That is.
- 43:06Speaker 1: I don't remember the show, mate. That's the entire point.
- 43:09Speaker 2: Just because you don't remember doesn't mean people don't remember
- 43:12Speaker 2: when you spoil things for them.
- 43:13Speaker 1: No, what they remember is when you spoil things. Because
- 43:16Speaker 1: here's the thing. The amount of times I have said
- 43:19Speaker 1: something completely innocuous and you said spoiler, which leads it.
- 43:23Speaker 3: To be a spoiler.
- 43:23Speaker 2: Because that's what the audience is thinking.
- 43:25Speaker 3: No. No, I don't give a.
- 43:27Speaker 4: I might not be. I don't care about you, mate.
- 43:29Speaker 2: It's about the audience, not about you. Come on.
- 43:33Speaker 4: You are my fun man.
- 43:35Speaker 3: If I said to Mitch right now.
- 43:37Speaker 2: Don't spoil it for him.
- 43:38Speaker 1: No, if I said to Mitch right now, right, hey,
- 43:42Speaker 1: you know how we said it really, really wild?
- 43:44Speaker 3: Well, guess what? Um.
- 43:47Speaker 1: Carlisle writes himself out of the show halfway through the
- 43:50Speaker 1: season by him getting permanently stuck in the stones so
- 43:54Speaker 1: someone else takes over his body full time and that's
- 43:56Speaker 1: how they write around it. Now, if you, Brendan, say, oh,
- 44:00Speaker 1: that would have been awesome, or you, Brendan, say, oh, spoiler,
- 44:04Speaker 1: determines whether it is a spoiler or not. Because Mitchell
- 44:08Speaker 1: doesn't know until if or when it happens.
- 44:11Speaker 2: Well, stop spoiling it and I won't say it.
- 44:14Speaker 3: But that's the point.
- 44:15Speaker 1: It's your reaction is the spoiler, not me saying anything.
- 44:19Speaker 4: Don't try to blame me, mate. Hey, I live with
- 44:20Speaker 4: a woman.
- 44:21Speaker 2: I see what's going on here.
- 44:24Speaker 4: There's that great clip right from, remember, pre-Infinity War? And
- 44:28Speaker 4: they're talking to Mark Ruffalo, who is a renowned spoiler
- 44:31Speaker 4: of all details. And they said something about, I don't
- 44:36Speaker 4: even know how they let him into it. And he goes, oh,
- 44:37Speaker 4: something about someone dying. And he goes, oh. Wait till
- 44:40Speaker 4: you see this one. Everyone dies. And then Don Cheadle
- 44:43Speaker 4: whacks him and goes, dude, dude. And he goes, what?
- 44:46Speaker 4: And he goes, dude, come on, man. And I'm like,
- 44:49Speaker 4: without that, if you would have just said, as one
- 44:51Speaker 4: of the lead heroes with plot armour, go, oh, this
- 44:54Speaker 4: next movie, everyone dies, and no one says anything off
- 44:57Speaker 4: the back of that, you're not believing him. That sounds ridiculous. Hello, Madonna.
- 45:02Speaker 1: It's like Candyman. We've said her name too many times
- 45:04Speaker 1: and she appears.
- 45:05Speaker 2: It's Bloody Mary. Don't turn the lights off. You'll scare me.
- 45:11Speaker 1: Oh, yes. That's what I was talking about. So this
- 45:14Speaker 1: isn't a spoiler. All I'm saying is in the original
- 45:17Speaker 1: Practical Magic, part of the plot is that Sandra Bullock
- 45:20Speaker 1: has two young girls who, at the end of the film,
- 45:22Speaker 1: are roughly about 10 years of age. So that was
- 45:25Speaker 1: in 1998. We're now in 2026. They didn't hire those
- 45:30Speaker 1: original actresses back, even though one of them is a
- 45:33Speaker 1: working actress.
- 45:33Speaker 4: Maybe they're shit.
- 45:34Speaker 2: You ever think of that?
- 45:37Speaker 1: They hired Arya Stark.
- 45:38Speaker 4: And Joey King. Yeah.
- 45:41Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 45:41Speaker 4: See, I Googled it. Oh, they're in there. And then
- 45:45Speaker 4: I looked at the performers in number one. I'm like, oh,
- 45:47Speaker 4: they're playing the same characters.
- 45:51Speaker 1: Wasn't like Samara Weaving or someone like that was like
- 45:53Speaker 1: the original little girl.
- 45:54Speaker 4: In the first one? No, no, it was Evan Rachel Wood.
- 45:56Speaker 1: That's the one, Evan Rachel Wood I was thinking of.
- 45:58Speaker 4: Who's still the still working actress. I saw an article
- 46:01Speaker 4: the other day and it was like, how.
- 46:02Speaker 2: Do you know these people's names, guys? I just don't
- 46:04Speaker 2: know how you have the time.
- 46:06Speaker 1: But we let women speak. And watch their films and
- 46:10Speaker 1: support their careers.
- 46:12Speaker 2: It's not that.
- 46:14Speaker 4: I'm just autistic.
- 46:20Speaker 1: Do we know if Stockard Channing and Diane Wiest are
- 46:22Speaker 1: back for Practical Magic 2?
- 46:23Speaker 2: Great story.
- 46:26Speaker 4: I didn't hear the first person, but I don't know
- 46:27Speaker 4: about Diane Wiest.
- 46:28Speaker 3: I thought it was Stockard Channing.
- 46:30Speaker 4: I didn't hear who you said. I didn't hear who
- 46:31Speaker 4: you said.
- 46:33Speaker 1: Diane Wiest isn't dead.
- 46:35Speaker 4: I'm thinking about a different Diane.
- 46:38Speaker 1: A different old white woman, eh? Oh, so after a
- 46:40Speaker 1: certain age, they're all the same to you, are they, Mitchell?
- 46:43Speaker 4: Unless they're Helen Mirren, mate. You know that very well.
- 46:45Speaker 4: Thank you very much.
- 46:45Speaker 1: Hey, doesn't she have a title?
- 46:49Speaker 4: Dame?
- 46:50Speaker 3: Dame Helen Mirren?
- 46:52Speaker 4: She's a dame.
- 46:53Speaker 2: Hey, Matty, if you're such a feminist, why don't you
- 46:55Speaker 2: marry one?
- 46:57Speaker 4: Marry a feminist?
- 46:58Speaker 2: Shut up, then.
- 47:03Speaker 4: No one's doing that. No, thanks. That'd be crazy.
- 47:08Speaker 3: I like my peace and quiet.
- 47:20Speaker 1: I mean, you tell me, Brendan. How old's Bella now?
- 47:25Speaker 2: You're not meant to ask a woman's age. Jesus Christ, mate.
- 47:28Speaker 1: She's a girl, but I'm just saying you're going to
- 47:30Speaker 1: have two feminists in the house.
- 47:31Speaker 4: Fifteen.
- 47:32Speaker 1: Well, there you go. You're getting pretty close to having
- 47:35Speaker 1: two feminists in the house with So if I'm already
- 47:39Speaker 1: a feminist, why would I want another one in the house?
- 47:41Speaker 1: That's like having two alphas, you know? That's like having two.
- 47:48Speaker 3: What is it?
- 47:48Speaker 1: Mexican fighting fish? What are they? Samurai fighting fish? Whatever
- 47:51Speaker 1: they're called. You've got to have an alpha and a beta.
- 47:54Speaker 2: That's racist.
- 47:55Speaker 4: Instead, you're talking to the woman in your house, going, oh, God,
- 47:58Speaker 4: can you say something chauvinistic and be disrespectful to me, please,
- 48:02Speaker 4: for fuck's sake? Like, yeah, put me down.
- 48:05Speaker 3: Yeah, let's go watch a.
- 48:09Speaker 1: A Taylor Sheridan series.
- 48:10Speaker 2: Let's go try and find any script that will pass
- 48:13Speaker 2: the rectal test. Good luck.
- 48:15Speaker 1: It is so terribly written for the male gaze.
- 48:19Speaker 3: Like, it is... Oh, my God.
- 48:21Speaker 1: Like, every man is the most toxic, masculine meathead you've
- 48:28Speaker 1: ever met, and every woman is either gay or bisexual. Like,
- 48:32Speaker 1: it is just purely for the male gaze, this show. It's...
- 48:37Speaker 1: It's trash, but it's compelling. I don't know how else
- 48:40Speaker 1: to describe it. Like, I enjoy the performances, but the
- 48:45Speaker 1: writing and the direction.
- 48:46Speaker 3: Is f * * * ing terrible. Like, it just.
- 48:49Speaker 1: And Zoe Saldana, all she does, she just yells at people.
- 48:52Speaker 2: Oh, is that the Lioness one?
- 48:54Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 48:54Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an awful, awful show. I tried it. It's
- 49:00Speaker 2: f * * * ing shit. The dialogue is trash.
- 49:03Speaker 1: Yeah yeah it just but like i said nicole nicole
- 49:06Speaker 1: kidman every time she like just like just just just
- 49:10Speaker 1: enters the room like she just stalks.
- 49:12Speaker 3: It like a lioness like and she's even got her like.
- 49:15Speaker 1: Her mane and shit and i know that you know
- 49:17Speaker 1: lionesses don't have manes but the way that she just
- 49:19Speaker 1: like enters the room is incredible and then she's just
- 49:24Speaker 1: every everything that um nicole kimmon does in that is
- 49:27Speaker 1: absolutely amazing uh and i do love um old tits
- 49:31Speaker 1: mcgee the traveler from uh from um.
- 49:36Speaker 3: Stargate Atlantis was the name.
- 49:37Speaker 4: You said that on the other day, and I actually
- 49:38Speaker 4: didn't realise she was in that show, not that I've
- 49:39Speaker 4: watched it. She wrote it.
- 49:41Speaker 1: She created it. Her and her husband created it and
- 49:43Speaker 1: then pitched it to Taylor Sheridan, and he went, all right,
- 49:46Speaker 1: let's make it.
- 49:46Speaker 4: Oh, right. Okay, there you go, because I didn't know that.
- 49:47Speaker 1: So she's like an executive producer on it.
- 49:49Speaker 4: I just thought it was his show. Yeah, okay. Yeah.
- 49:52Speaker 1: Yeah, no, her and her husband are executive producers on it.
- 49:55Speaker 2: Not our Tits McGee.
- 49:58Speaker 1: Not Universe Tits McGee. Atlantis Tits McGee.
- 50:01Speaker 3: You know the one, what was the name?
- 50:02Speaker 1: Laren?
- 50:03Speaker 3: Laris?
- 50:04Speaker 2: Oh, yes, yes.
- 50:05Speaker 3: The leather plaid?
- 50:06Speaker 2: Oh, see, I thought you meant Brad Wright for a sec.
- 50:09Speaker 2: Brad Wright's Travellers.
- 50:11Speaker 3: No, that's Mantis McGee.
- 50:14Speaker 2: Of course there was this.
- 50:23Speaker 4: Just another day in outer space.
- 50:27Speaker 2: Just another day in outer space.
- 50:29Speaker 1: He was really proud of that line in the audio
- 50:31Speaker 1: commentary because apparently it made all the promos.
- 50:34Speaker 4: Oh, really?
- 50:34Speaker 2: Yeah, it would.
- 50:35Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 50:36Speaker 4: Can we get just the soundbite for future recording sessions
- 50:40Speaker 4: in person, obviously, on the hotkeys, Brennan? Just that line
- 50:44Speaker 4: from Paul McBeckett.
- 50:49Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
- 50:50Speaker 4: Just every time we don't like something that Eli says.
- 50:53Speaker 4: Shut the fuck up. Wake up, David.
- 50:55Speaker 3: That's what I was planning to do.
- 50:57Speaker 1: See, I reckon what we should do, we should find
- 50:59Speaker 1: every single Stargate alum that's on Cameo and buy a
- 51:03Speaker 1: Cameo of every single one of them saying, shut up, David.
- 51:07Speaker 2: That's a great.
- 51:08Speaker 4: Oi, oi.
- 51:09Speaker 2: That's a great idea.
- 51:14Speaker 3: Actually, get them to do that.
- 51:16Speaker 1: Get every single one of them to do, Chloe, Chloe, Chloe.
- 51:25Speaker 2: Get in the gate, Stargate podcast.
- 51:28Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. And then, oh, we have to get Julie
- 51:30Speaker 1: McNiven or whatever her name is. Who is Julie Benson?
- 51:33Speaker 1: Julia Benson. Oh, yeah.
- 51:35Speaker 3: We need her to be on Cameo to go, I'm
- 51:37Speaker 3: a boob.
- 51:39Speaker 2: There you go.
- 51:40Speaker 1: Yeah, see?
- 51:43Speaker 2: I'm going to go.
- 51:48Speaker 3: And watch a video.
- 51:51Speaker 1: That tab on Pornhub you were talking about earlier, that
- 51:53Speaker 1: whole subcategory? Yeah.
- 51:55Speaker 4: One of them.
- 51:56Speaker 2: Anyway, I'm glad that that episode is over because hopefully.
- 52:00Speaker 3: It gets better from here.
- 52:02Speaker 1: Yeah, I was not looking forward to this recording session
- 52:04Speaker 1: because I was just like, ugh.
- 52:06Speaker 2: I wasn't looking forward to watching the episode. I put
- 52:08Speaker 2: it on a few days ago and I saw TJ
- 52:13Speaker 2: wake up in heaven and I thought, you know what?
- 52:17Speaker 2: I've got other things to do. I didn't, but I
- 52:20Speaker 2: just didn't want to watch it.
- 52:22Speaker 1: Yeah. I think I had to watch it twice.
- 52:25Speaker 2: Yeah i don't know i mean but at least i got.
- 52:28Speaker 3: You know drunk louis ferreira so that was something.
- 52:31Speaker 4: That's something no i don't know i like i was
- 52:33Speaker 4: a bit harsh when i said like that you know
- 52:37Speaker 4: um the tj stuff was great and the other stuff
- 52:40Speaker 4: just felt like we have to wrap this up but
- 52:42Speaker 4: um as a first time watch it's it's completely for
- 52:45Speaker 4: me anyway it was completely fine so i imagine if
- 52:47Speaker 4: i get back to it as a rewatch going oh
- 52:49Speaker 4: yeah now we've just got to get through the obvious
- 52:52Speaker 4: this is going to happen just to sort of see
- 52:56Speaker 4: the TJ stuff. But it was because when they showed
- 52:59Speaker 4: the obelisk, right, and I found myself thinking, I remember
- 53:03Speaker 4: on the pod and I said, I'm so interested in that.
- 53:06Speaker 4: I hope we never find a thing out about it
- 53:08Speaker 4: because it somewhat condenses the, you know, I want it
- 53:12Speaker 4: to be so big and so mysterious that that is
- 53:15Speaker 4: something fascinating that we have endless questions for and we
- 53:18Speaker 4: never have any of them answered. And then in the
- 53:20Speaker 4: previously one, they actually show it. And obviously they show God, oh,
- 53:23Speaker 4: we're going to stay here and we were meant to
- 53:25Speaker 4: be here, blah, blah, blah. But then when they reference, like, hey,
- 53:27Speaker 4: we're back here. With that, the aliens that built that, yeah,
- 53:31Speaker 4: we're here now. And it's like, oh.
- 53:33Speaker 1: And they're not just a little ways away.
- 53:35Speaker 4: It's almost a shame for me, yeah.
- 53:36Speaker 3: They're not a little ways away.
- 53:37Speaker 1: They're in a different galaxy.
- 53:39Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then she's like, what? We're
- 53:42Speaker 4: in a different galaxy. He's like, they're, like, really old
- 53:45Speaker 4: and that, though. Like, you don't think that they've got, like,
- 53:47Speaker 4: intergalactic travel? Stop it. Like, that was it?
- 53:49Speaker 2: Come on, man.
- 53:50Speaker 4: But that's the explanation. I'm like, okay, yeah, fine. But
- 53:53Speaker 4: even she's like, I'm not leaving without my baby. He's like,
- 53:56Speaker 4: this is like just a bit of courtesy information.
- 53:58Speaker 3: I'm keeping my baby.
- 54:00Speaker 5: Yeah, they're going to send you back anyway because you
- 54:03Speaker 5: decided to leave here way back when you were pressured
- 54:09Speaker 5: into leaving the planet from the captain.
- 54:13Speaker 4: Of the expedition. These aliens are punishing her. And they
- 54:19Speaker 4: can force her to leave whenever they want. Couldn't they
- 54:24Speaker 4: tell what she would really want to do? You know
- 54:27Speaker 4: what I mean? I thought that was a bit harsh
- 54:29Speaker 4: on TJ. Surely they could feel that mother's love was
- 54:32Speaker 4: real and why she did what she did.
- 54:34Speaker 2: It's like those movies where it's like, it's not your time.
- 54:38Speaker 2: And then you just go back to earth.
- 54:42Speaker 4: Yeah. Oh, man. All that stuff at the end was crazy.
- 54:45Speaker 4: The idea of.
- 54:47Speaker 4: Of her holding that baby. Like she woke up and
- 54:49Speaker 4: was like, I've lost the baby. What the hell's happened?
- 54:50Speaker 4: What's going on? And then she hears the baby crying.
- 54:52Speaker 4: It's like, oh yeah, that's right. I had it like,
- 54:55Speaker 4: you know, playing catch up in her own story. And
- 54:58Speaker 4: then for them to go anyway, don't worry. We're going
- 55:00Speaker 4: to look after it. Trust me. And I'm just looking
- 55:02Speaker 4: at how old this baby, like you said, that's, it's
- 55:04Speaker 4: all Elena Huffman's, um, performance, but Jesus Christ, just watching.
- 55:10Speaker 1: A little bit of Mumford and Sons.
- 55:11Speaker 3: Wow.
- 55:11Speaker 4: Obviously a little bit. Yeah.
- 55:12Speaker 3: They did a little bit of heavy lifting there.
- 55:14Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 55:14Speaker 4: Like, They won't be our responsibility.
- 55:18Speaker 1: If you thought Colonel Young was emotional at the end
- 55:21Speaker 1: of this episode, wait till next week's episode.
- 55:24Speaker 4: Okay.
- 55:26Speaker 3: Another little bit of.
- 55:26Speaker 1: Trivia, too, and I guess we could have talked about
- 55:28Speaker 1: it in a few episodes' time. This was actually the
- 55:33Speaker 1: second episode filmed back from the hiatus between seasons. Episode
- 55:39Speaker 1: four was actually the first episode they filmed after Because
- 55:44Speaker 1: it is directed by one Robert Carlyle.
- 55:48Speaker 4: Stop it.
- 55:49Speaker 1: So they kind of did make him, I guess, come
- 55:51Speaker 1: back early to do all his prep and all that
- 55:53Speaker 1: kind of stuff before going in to have to learn
- 55:56Speaker 1: his lines. So, yeah, so Robert Carlyle directs Episode 4. Oh, really?
- 56:01Speaker 4: Yeah. What else has he directed?
- 56:03Speaker 2: Or was it like he talked amongst yourselves? That might
- 56:07Speaker 2: have been part of his two-year deal. Yeah, it could
- 56:10Speaker 2: have been. Because eventually Carter... Sorry, Amanda Tapping directed Shanksie.
- 56:14Speaker 1: Yeah, but that was season seven. That's what I mean.
- 56:16Speaker 1: Shanksie did it in what, season four? I know Star
- 56:19Speaker 1: Trek did that as well. They had like a, what
- 56:22Speaker 1: do they call it, like the director's school. Like, you know,
- 56:25Speaker 1: Jonathan Frakes and a few of the others all like directed,
- 56:28Speaker 1: but they had to like, on episodes they weren't in
- 56:32Speaker 1: a lot, they would like shadow all the directors and stuff.
- 56:36Speaker 1: And when they thought they were ready, they would let
- 56:38Speaker 1: them direct.
- 56:39Speaker 4: Well, it was the very first thing that he directed.
- 56:43Speaker 3: Oh, you beat me, you son of a bitch.
- 56:44Speaker 4: According to his IMDb, he only did the one episode,
- 56:46Speaker 4: but yeah, it was his first thing, 2010. The next
- 56:49Speaker 4: thing he directed was in 2015 on a movie called
- 56:55Speaker 4: Barney Thompson, which he was the lead actor in, alongside
- 56:58Speaker 4: Emma Thompson and Ray Winstone. So great cast there. And
- 57:02Speaker 4: then again in, as I go back, am I catching
- 57:06Speaker 4: up with my internet? A short this year called Three,
- 57:09Speaker 4: a short film that he was the director of.
- 57:11Speaker 3: And it was his third thing he directed and it
- 57:13Speaker 3: was called Three.
- 57:16Speaker 2: That can't happen. So, yeah, apparently they gave him, I
- 57:19Speaker 2: remember I saw a featurette about this and they gave
- 57:22Speaker 2: him basically the whole off-season to... To, you know, do
- 57:27Speaker 2: his notes and whatever.
- 57:28Speaker 3: Yeah, I did see in the audio, in the special features,
- 57:33Speaker 3: they have some info about it. So when we get
- 57:34Speaker 3: to that episode, I'll be sure to grab some bits
- 57:36Speaker 3: and pieces for it.
- 57:37Speaker 2: Yeah, nice. That'll be fun.
- 57:42Speaker 3: Oh, let's go.
- 57:43Speaker 1: I want to go finish watching this bullshit episode of
- 57:47Speaker 1: Star Trek.
- 57:48Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. Let's not take you away from that. I
- 57:51Speaker 4: can get back to some rugby league.
- 57:53Speaker 1: Are the Broncos losing tonight, or are they done?
- 57:59Speaker 4: Both could be true, but.
- 58:00Speaker 3: Oh, so they're playing, so they're losing.
- 58:03Speaker 4: Hey, they're in front at the moment. Thank you very much.
- 58:07Speaker 4: I'm getting texts from Luke next door. All right, okay.
- 58:10Speaker 4: They are up 14-10 early in the second half, and
- 58:13Speaker 4: it is their last game of the season. Billy Walters! Yes,
- 58:17Speaker 4: so get back to that.
- 58:19Speaker 1: They'll win most attractive team, but they'll get the wooden
- 58:22Speaker 1: spoon for everything else, yeah?
- 58:23Speaker 2: Check this out.
- 58:27Speaker 4: Kick and chase by Mullins.
- 58:30Speaker 2: Kick and chase again by Mullins.
- 58:32Speaker 4: This will be a miracle. Oh, it is a miracle. Oh,
- 58:36Speaker 4: my goodness. You won't see anything like that again this year,
- 58:41Speaker 4: and maybe never. Oh, that'll do me. Sensational stuff. It
- 58:45Speaker 4: just doesn't get any better than that, does it?
- 58:48Speaker 2: Mullins backed himself.
- 58:49Speaker 4: Mullins.
- 58:50Speaker 2: I'm mad he's gone. That's a shame.
- 58:52Speaker 4: He's actually gone.
- 58:56Speaker 2: He left.
- 58:56Speaker 4: He was so... Next time... Oh, man. Next time he
- 59:00Speaker 4: complains about Star Trek, go, dude, do you want to
- 59:02Speaker 4: watch NRL replays? Do you want to watch NRL highlights?
- 59:05Speaker 4: And then he'll just stop complaining about Star Trek. Great point. Yeah.
- 59:12Speaker 2: Good times.
- 59:13Speaker 4: Consider himself lucky. All right. Well, until episode two. He
- 59:18Speaker 4: can't run away when we're in his house.
- 59:20Speaker 2: No, that's true.
- 59:21Speaker 4: We'll hold him down. Playing Mullins.
- 59:23Speaker 2: Watch Mullins.
- 59:24Speaker 4: Yeah, full fucking clockwork orange, just playing fucking Raiders highlights
- 59:28Speaker 4: from the mid-90s.
- 59:30Speaker 2: Look at how good Alfie was. Look at him. Oh,
- 59:32Speaker 2: Kevi was pretty good, actually. Oi.
- 59:34Speaker 4: They called him the Ipswich Connection because there was actually
- 59:37Speaker 4: a couple more, right? Do you know there are five
- 59:39Speaker 4: Walters brothers?
- 59:41Speaker 2: Try and name them all.
- 59:42Speaker 4: Which two are twins? I'll give you three guesses.
- 59:45Speaker 2: Get into geek.
