0:05
nerdgasm with your hosts Matt Luke and
0:10
Dan multiple nerdgasm your guide to All
0:16
Things nerdy what are you going to have done
0:21
next week well there's a very good chance I won't be here that's all right
0:26
there's a very good chance Matt and I will just start the podcast and not
0:28
mention that and then halfway through remind people that you're not here yes
0:32
and that's why I'm announcing it now so you're planning on still being alive
0:36
obviously despite the way yeah and I don't know why it made it
0:40
so creepy so when you come out of this surgery Luke you're going to have
0:44
something slightly bigger or something that's slightly smaller well a couple of
0:48
years ago they put some bone into me and put a plate in yeah they did plate
0:53
annoys me I want the plate out fair and so they've just gone yeah sorry yeah so
0:59
I'm going in Monday morning so I should probably go to bed early night before
1:04
surgery that's fair I'm thinking you'll probably also be cranky because you're
1:09
probably going to be on uh you're probably going to have to fast and
1:12
you'll be on a clear liquids diet and that doesn't include gen and tonic no it
1:16
doesn't they're going to be very they're going to be very specific with you to
1:19
say gen and tonic does not count as a clear liquid I'll just drink it straight
1:24
it's fine the tonic I'll give you no bubbles
1:30
no I will be good no alah hole I have should get up early and
1:36
that's the part I don't like that does it every week I was going
1:40
to say it's 6:30 right now what time do you have to get up uh like 4:30 oh all
1:46
right all right it's worse like get up get ready like
1:52
shower get there for like 6 then sit around for hours that's the way it
1:59
normally works H I also I also had to set my alarm and
2:04
wake up to do this podcast today because my schedule's all over the [ __ ] place
2:08
right now I bet it is is it your schedule or the baby schedule well
2:12
they're one and the same at this point it will normalize I can assure you of
2:16
that I mean it's normalized to this at this point well I guess probably
2:20
shouldn't assure you of anything because 25 and move out cuz I guess
2:26
they're all different but mine has normalized quite well yeah no that's
2:30
good there's hope yours is getting big yeah I know a forehead of hair tell me
2:35
about it she doesn't fit any [ __ ] clothes anymore oh yeah that happens yeah tore through
2:40
them literally I mean not not physically I just mean like metaphorically she's
2:45
grown through a she did Hulk out no no no oh you should have done that every
2:50
time that you realize you should have just popped her in one that was slightly
2:52
too small and just let it go yeah well you can do it with yours
2:57
yeah yeah I will she does have these kind of like bulging fat rolls that do
3:01
look like she's really muscular
3:05
so same fat rolls I've got that make me look muscular yeah makes my stomach look
3:10
extremely muscular that's right my
3:14
abs hiding under the Kake yeah my baby loves laying on my stomach because
3:20
there's nothing firm about it whatsoever you know it's like like she's laying on
3:25
a giant marshmallow it's like I'm on a cloud oh so have your week been
3:31
jent um all I have been doing is playing Far Cry 6 yeah I want to ask you about
3:37
that cuz actually I thought you and I might have been playing the same game
3:40
today Luke and now I find you've been playing Far Cry 6 I brought Alan Wake I
3:45
started playing El wake I really enjoyed it and then Far Cry 6 came out and I
3:49
went I'm going to play that instead and I don't know if I like it or not I love
3:55
Al wake I was enjoying the start of that but Far Cry 6 I don't know it's not like
4:01
previous ones isn't it a little different I think it's I
4:07
don't know I I normally when I get a farc game I'm pretty much finished it by
4:12
the time we get around to the recording I've done nothing in this
4:17
game like I've maybe about quarter of the map is shown
4:23
to me m i mean you've obvious been doing something I've been doing things but not
4:29
prog
5:14
[Music]
5:29
just before to play Far Cry 4 and five and then you finally got around to it
5:34
and enjoyed it do not play this one okay I don't think you will both both of you
5:39
I don't think you will enjoy this I'm playing it and I'll finish it yeah
5:44
and I'll probably get a you've taken one for the team yeah yeah he plays it so
5:48
that we don't have to yeah I I just I don't think you guys have got the time
5:52
for it I definitely AG very big game I haven't played there's more of Far Cry
5:58
five that I didn't have time for yeah and this just seems I don't know a bit
6:04
more spread out and I purchased a game this week and I
6:09
played five minutes of it and that's no Metroid dread switch Metroid
6:15
on the switch I yes and I played a little bit and I I mean it looks [ __ ]
6:21
beautiful and it's Metroid so I hopefully will find time to play it but
6:26
mhm it does look that's one those on that you need to get give a lot of time
6:30
to as well yes yeah correct yes the problem I think with that one for you is
6:37
the fact that you'll play it for a bit progress put it down for 6 months pick
6:43
it back up go how do you play the hell was I doing and put it back down that's
6:48
my prediction yeah I don't want it to come true but no I'm have a feeling I
6:54
think you're probably right but uh we'll see yeah I couldn't resist it's it's a
6:58
new Metroid game I love can't help it well I did your trick this week Luke
7:04
that you were just talking about in terms of you know playing the game for
7:07
10 hours and not actually progressing the story except I did it in reverse I
7:10
finished the sinking city today oh you did yeah I finished it but I mistakenly
7:16
finished the main story while I still had some side quests hanging there that
7:20
I wanted to complete um and now I can't go back because um oh because it ended
7:27
that's why with games like that I will use a walk through so I don't end up in that
7:32
situation yeah I mean in hindsight I probably could have predicted the moment
7:38
you know the point of no return and you're enjoying it you don't want to
7:42
stop and go you don't want to turn into Luke yeah
7:46
yeah that's why on the one hand I think you know when cyberp punk for example
7:52
came up with that message that said by the way once you go in through this door
7:57
you can't do anything else so that's useful but on the other hand it's also kind
8:02
of breaks the immersion and it also made me think I've got so much [ __ ] to do to
8:09
how overpowered am I going to be when I eventually come back here well the story
8:14
wasn't that long no I suppose not when you've focused on the story it's it's the
8:21
living world and doing everything else that where the game play is Fallout 3
8:26
had a similar message if I recall mhm well there was yeah there was Fallout 3
8:31
where you died and then they released DLC and went oh no you actually lived
8:36
yeah that's right all right but before you start that big battle it would say
8:40
make sure you do anything else like don't follow the big robot if you've
8:43
still got stuff to do yeah I love that big robot know so great the the the
8:48
robot of [ __ ] democracy
8:53
y God give us another Far Cry um and Fallout yeah I was going to say youve
8:59
you Far Cry stop winging I mean we could all play Fallout
9:04
76 um oh yeah we could not quite the same though they've got that new worlds
9:10
thing we didn't talk about this on the podcast I think I sent a link to you
9:12
they've got some new worlds thing and I want I wanted to check it could be worth
9:16
looking at yeah I don't know if they're persistent cuz the problem before was
9:20
that they the worlds weren't persistent so like if I pay for it I've got to be
9:25
playing it for you guys to play it and that's [ __ ] stupid well if you're
9:28
doing it on x box as part of Xbox game pass you get a month free okay
9:34
interesting of the world's thing but what is that what is that extra cost
9:40
money thingy that Fallout half uh fallout first I think it's
9:44
called yeah do that's what you get free for do we all have to have Fallout first
9:50
for it to be no I don't think so but well I don't know about the new thing
9:54
the way that it worked before is that somebody logged in had to have it I
9:59
think otherwise the world would just go away after 10 minutes yeah you logged
10:02
out and then we'd have 5 Seconds to get our [ __ ] together before the world
10:06
disappear around us and it's like well that's not really what we want what we
10:09
want is like what we had with Conan except except actually functional where
10:14
the world's just there all the time for us to around custom
10:18
worlds okay so custom worlds custom worlds take on the personalization of
10:22
private servers to a whole new level granting active Fallout first members
10:26
access to Fallout worlds features to build their own personal
10:30
alopecia you said it Appalachia Appalachia you might
10:35
have you might appala I KN that's a word appal is where my house
10:41
is um music for World long list of settings Place create their own
10:46
worlds um Fallout more active Fallout can invite friends and teammates to
10:52
check out the worlds even if those players aren't fall out first members
10:56
active members can also continue playing on worlds with friends as a shared world
11:01
even if they're offline there you go okay so this might be something that
11:07
uh we should check out so it just sounds like we just need
11:11
the first membership and only one of us needs it mhm well let's give it a shot get you
11:18
get three months out of it real time followup uh my house is not in
11:22
Appalachia it's on the Appalachian Trail which I guess leads to Appalachia
11:26
Appalachia is Appalachia a place or or is it a mountain range region a region
11:33
from like just part of New York down all the way into like Alabama and
11:39
Mississippi like a when I think through the country I think of banjo playing
11:45
toothless Hicks yeah I don't know if I'm right about that I don't always play my
11:50
banjo Dan but uh often I'm not always
11:54
toothless no sometimes I put them in it really just soon before at 76 they just
12:00
listened to everyone going it sucks that you have to be online and then just
12:03
changed it so you didn't have to always be online yeah yeah great they're like
12:07
but if but if you don't want to be online you got to pay for it yeah but
12:11
yeah I I bought Alan Wake this week too um was Keen to get started but wanted to
12:17
finish sinking city was enjoying sinking City I'll stick to my review that I gave
12:21
a couple of weeks ago I wouldn't call this a good game but I really enjoyed
12:25
playing it and I'm glad I finished it now um popped Alan Wake On afterwards and
12:29
man if there was any game aimed at like studious 40-year-old men it's Alan Wake you
12:36
know sure it's weird going back and playing Ellen wake it's a game
12:43
again like it's not just like with Far Cry 6 it's very much on ra I get here I
12:49
get that whereas this it's I want to explore the world but actually explore
12:54
it not just hit pick a way point go there collect that move on
13:00
mhm so I guess I'm going to have to play
13:03
this again it's um it looks very pretty it's lovely um you know and I I love
13:10
playing as an author I love playing as a as a stepen king uh ripoff author um you
13:16
know collecting pages of my own books you seen some of the QR codes that are
13:19
in yes I have seen a QR code or two they are sort of hinting at their possibility
13:26
of an allen wake 2 because remedy have sort of done well with like control I
13:33
don't know if you played control that was very strange in the same sort of
13:37
vein of Alan Wake and I've got Alan Wake coming out again I downloaded control
13:41
because it's on Game Pass but I haven't played it yet it's strange okay and does feel a
13:48
bit Alan Wake with the guys that you fight oh okay interesting it's the same
13:53
thing where people are sort of taking control of so it's Alan waight that
13:56
you're a sexy chick that must be right up your alley Luke
13:59
yep that's how all Gam should be Alan Wake 2 Alan woke and he's just on
14:05
Twitter yelling at people I don't think he ever found is it Alice yeah it is
14:11
Alice yeah it's Alice I don't think he ever found her just ends spoilers I
14:16
don't remember how it ended like I I don't remember either so I'm looking
14:20
forward to I'm not sure I did either that's the whole point of the game so
14:25
kind of ruin it if I you got to find something yeah I'm just looking forward
14:30
to just sort of playing through getting to the end of an episode and just
14:33
listening to music maybe you find yourself the music in this game is it's
14:39
wonderful it's wonderful music oh yeah
14:43
um oh Alex Pet's his name I'll let you
14:48
look it up so you sound smart y yeah Petri aleno had his name the wrong way
14:53
around Petri aleno yeah he's [ __ ] dope he's good Wonder actually the
14:57
control soundtrack is very good and so is the Quantum break soundtrack which is
15:02
another right yeah Quantum break didn't do quite as well and I think that's
15:07
because they focused on side yeah they tried way too hard with the gimmick mhm
15:14
oh the whole thing you had to watch a TV show or something right yeah and it went
15:18
for like 40 minutes like each time right and you couldn't download it
15:23
you had to stream it when it first came out as well which was a pain that's
15:27
right very odd here's a here's a slight
15:30
segue right yeah from Stephen King yeah
15:34
in Alan Wake heard of him heard of him to G
15:39
moreni yeah horror wrer author
15:44
Dreamweaver one of the few people that's written more books than he's read who's
15:49
cropping up in a show I'm halfway through love that show called The
15:52
Haunting of blind Mana in that for playing the dead father I've completely
15:57
forgotten that that's a thing well at this point he's only appeared in
16:01
a photograph and one flashback right but I wanted to just talk about Mike
16:06
Flanigan in general and then that might lead into some news um yes but Matt on your
16:12
recommendation last week I checked out midnight mass yes I started watching the
16:17
first episode directly after we recorded and um I kept watching until I'd seen it
16:22
all because it was [ __ ] excellent yeah I watched the first 15
16:27
minutes of went this is not for I didn't think it was for you but I don't know
16:32
but that said it's very good yeah the problem with with 15 minutes I don't
16:37
think you've really gotten to the meat of it yet but I by in what makes it what
16:42
makes it so good and again Matt thank you for not saying a goddamn thing about
16:46
it yeah but the things that it's about in the first 15 minutes say or even the
16:51
first several episodes are not what it's actually about and I really liked that I
16:57
think yeah episode something gets revealed and you kind of go
17:02
oh okay this is the show I'm
17:06
watching I mean maybe like I don't again I still don't want to spoil anything and
17:10
listens if you haven't watched it I mean look it's not for everybody in fact I
17:14
was we're talking about it at work and I was like everyone's like oh so we should we
17:19
check it out and I was like I don't know man like you're going to have to see for
17:24
yourself cuz it ties its stuff into religion quite a quite heavily like it's
17:30
mostly a hor story about [ __ ] Catholicism basically so it's like if
17:35
you're not okay with that it might disturb you somewhat mhm that's right
17:40
it's going to be hard for anyone with uh with with
17:46
a I don't even know how to word it you have to be okay with yeah challenging
17:52
exactly right yeah I challing [ __ ] loved it yeah
17:57
same some bits of i' I guess I know challenging is the right word but there
18:02
were bits where I was like [ __ ] man I know yeah and there were bits where I
18:06
was like it's a TV show they're not going to oh they did okay yeah that
18:11
happened yeah yeah yeah loved it loved it um so of course I'm on IMDb trying to
18:17
figure out who made it and what else they've made and I realized that there's
18:20
a there's a guy called Mike Flanigan who has made a whole bunch of stuff that I
18:25
hadn't seen Matt I'm assuming you knew who this was but this
18:29
on my radar that's so odd I I feel like Luke have you seen blind
18:34
Manor uh no I've heard of it okay cuz I know it's got Rahul in it as well so I
18:40
and I know yeah see I was going to ask why Luke knows who that is what what do
18:43
you know him from he's from ibie I zombie and fun house yes I don't know
18:47
what either of those are so zombie is a TV show uh about zombies fun it's good
18:54
is it British cuz he's British no he's British in it yeah right fun house is uh
19:00
like Rooster Teeth subid YouTube channel
19:04
yeah oh okay sure sure Ro teeth is on its way
19:10
out okay like big time R though they certainly did if they're still around
19:16
now for them to be on their way out well
19:21
yeah all the guys who created it there's only like two of them left everyone has
19:26
sort of moved on and cashed I can't wait till our podcast do
19:31
that cash it out right away yeah yeah yeah we're like The Wiggles there just
19:35
one old one old original cast member and then just a bunch of young people and
19:40
the rest of us have just retired so I went back after midnight mass and I
19:44
watched The Haunting of Hill House which M I know you said that that you thought
19:49
um midnight mass might have been his best work I thought it was excellent but
19:53
The Haunting of Hill House is on another level in terms of TV this is the best
19:57
show I've seen in Years Years love A blind Mana I feel was
20:03
weaker but still good you know why you know why why it's because he signed on
20:10
as created by and didn't actually make the show and that is so obvious when
20:14
you're watching it that you're watching almost like a Haunting of Hill House Fan
20:17
Film so to get the created by credit you have to become the executive producer
20:21
and you have to direct the first episode and that's what he did and then somebody else
20:26
does which is why this is like a paint by numbers Haunting of Hill House but
20:31
just not quite getting there and it's because it doesn't have that artists
20:36
touch that the other ones that are Hands-On do have right it's Mike
20:41
Flanigan flavored yeah without the utter that's interesting I blind manner is the
20:47
show that I think I talked about at the time we were watching it and then for
20:52
some reason Netflix was like you probably just want to skip to episode 8
20:57
or something and so we were watching it and then the show finished and then I
21:03
was like that was that was all right that was quite good and I was like but
21:06
they never really explain this or this or this and then for some reason you
21:10
know it went back to the summary screen and I was like we've got four episodes
21:13
that we haven't watched and I was like that's so interesting that's
21:17
infuriating but but that we were able to follow anyway because a lot of that show
21:24
is Flashback mhm well yeah that's right missing four episodes is
21:29
but the way that the show is edited you'd never know you were missing a
21:32
piece cuz you'd always just assume okay they're coming back to that exactly and
21:36
so we then got to watch sort of a prequel to the show we had already
21:41
watched that's great but that's another thing that I think this makes this a
21:45
little bit weaker than hillh housee is that hillh housee has all these
21:49
interwoven stories that you start to link up and Branch off and it's all very
21:53
interesting and the time is cyclical it's but and this is the same
22:15
[Music]
22:58
pitched him on it while they were filming BL Manor he said I'm doing this
23:01
show I want you to be the sheriff and then that's how that started I do enjoy
23:05
this revolving cast all three shows have essentially the same cast but some they
23:10
play very different characters his wife and some other people that's right yes
23:15
that's right you find people you good work well with why not yeah yeah I mean
23:19
I I can only see Elliot from ET when I look at uh I now got to look the dad
23:26
yeah the dad from all of them do you know what I mean it's not a spoiler but
23:31
you know when I started watching midnight mass and I was like what's with
23:35
all the old people makeup I know yeah there Reon for can't you just hire an
23:41
old actor for this and then after a bit it's like oh okay all right I get it yeah
23:48
yeah yeah like Guy Pierce in Prometheus except they cut out all the bits where
23:53
it would have made sense why you had guy pier in old man so all you're left with
23:58
is conf was the oldest actor we
24:02
knew yes it' be like if we made a film back in the day we' just have to have
24:06
one of us in a you know in a wig could grow facial hair you're you're the dad
24:13
that's it yeah Prometheus ended up so confusing and list if you don't know
24:17
it's cuz there was a flashback where Guy Pierce was supposed to be young but then
24:21
they never even filmed it yeah so you just left with guy piercing old man
24:25
makeup for no reason the whole movie so strange doing what I would call an
24:31
absolutely decent job of an actor pretending to be really old and probably
24:36
assuming that lighting and and everything would make that makeup not
24:40
look silly and it didn't it just came across this really confusing why didn't
24:44
you get an old man it's because he was going to be young but he's not young
24:48
yeah but he was going to be all right just we just didn't get around to it why
24:52
are you paying Guy Pierce money if you're not going to show Guy Pierce well
24:55
that's yeah exactly that's the other thing yeah also I don't think guy Pier
25:00
M's actually that much so you don't think so I think he's doing all right but he's
25:05
not he's not he's not getting the big bucks yeah he he he's not like taking he
25:11
he did take home like a few million for that I mean when when him and Russell
25:16
Crow starred in LA Confidential together as co-leads I'm pretty sure they said to
25:21
Russell Crow don't tell Guy Pierce what we're paying
25:26
you that's a great movie if no one's seen that classic film by the way I know
25:31
that I saw it when I was young don't remember a godamn thing about it though
25:34
oh good watch it again even if you know even if you know all the twists it's
25:37
still great cuz I remember when it came out it had a bunch of people that I was
25:42
familiar with in it like VI I mean yeah exact right yes
25:48
that's I was about to say he Kim Basinger in there yeah mhm yeah I
25:51
watched something this week that I have not had not seen before but that is
25:55
quite quite popular here at least and they're filming the sequel here soon if
26:01
not now and it's Hocus Pocus so is this was there a remake or
26:06
are they just doing a sequel to sequel they're filming it in Rhode Island
26:10
though so everyone that normally wouldn't worken hocus poers no I haven't either
26:15
but correct me if I'm wrong it was the highest grossing film of 2020 right yeah
26:21
yeah I'm not I don't know see I don't really understand any of that so but but I
26:27
know3 was Hocus Pocus so popular why they re-released it during the
26:32
pandemic and it was just ridiculously popular they did a
26:37
reunion 2020 well look this is a
26:40
perfectly Charming Disney movie about three witches which it's actually quite
26:46
dark and also it's got some fairly adult humor that I wasn't expecting there's a
26:50
bit where this [ __ ] witches uh a bus pulls up and they're
26:55
like what is this and the bus driver's like it's a bus it could take you
26:59
wherever you want to go and um or it can help you get to your wildest dreams the
27:05
dialogue is ridiculous and then it's like where do you what do you ladies
27:07
want and then because the witches they they want children to suck their life
27:11
force and they go we want children and the bus driver goes well it might take
27:15
me a couple of goes but I reckon I could take care of it
27:21
Jesus that's great yeah please tell me it's a celebrity making a cameo as that
27:26
bus driver uh if it is I don't know I don't know who he is
27:32
but anyway it was it's pretty good okay who thought no I've never seen it it was
27:39
entertaining and yeah they're filming the sequel here around I love it there
27:42
was enough enough hype generated around its re-release last year that um they're
27:48
now doing a whole sequel is this Sarah Jessica Parker um yes yep bet Midler bet
27:53
Midler yeah and one other Kath Jimmy I don't know who that is um by s you would
27:59
I think okay yeah I failed to segue effectively earlier cuz I segued into
28:05
this instead of the more obvious segue which was what Mike Flanigan's doing
28:09
next oh yeah so I do want to Circle back to that and correct my mistake because I
28:14
read the other day that Mike Flanigan his next work will be an adaptation of
28:20
Edgar alen Po's Fall of the House of user I'm in I'm all in which sounds
28:26
great because uh Vincent Price's for the
28:30
house of user is great so yes I do like a bit of Po and of course po was a huge
28:36
influence on you know what my one of my favorite authors HP Lovecraft so going
28:42
to shock you both doesn't do anything for me no he's no Timothy
28:48
[Laughter] Z I think Timothy Z's written more books
28:54
than Edgar and po I'm sure that's the case's written more books than he's
28:59
red just kidding just kiddings are wonderful man I know he's he he's
29:04
[ __ ] he was so patient he Rec we got him to record a little message for Luke he was very
29:11
patient he's a nice man wonderful M I haven't seen him since the '90s and he
29:15
was perfectly happy to lie and pretend that he did remember you visited you in
29:20
hospital yeah no this he did a signing
29:24
at uh was it Fantasia oh
29:30
Fantasia yeah yep I was going to say that ironically that's probably where I
29:35
bought most of my Timothy Zan books from but that's not irony that probably
29:38
absolutely no coincidence whatsoever that that was where they got him to why
29:42
would you go to another book why would another book have
29:47
him I got my um Giga NE there and I I
29:53
saw it on the shelf and I went I was like oh I I'll have this I think it was
29:58
it was $100 and the woman Timothy was like that'll be $100
30:02
thanks the woman goes you can have it for I think 50 if you get it out of the
30:07
store cuz I [ __ ] hate it oh wow cuz it was ugly cuz it was all it was
30:12
disturbing yeah yeah yeah so I was like all right I'll take it it's it's on my
30:17
bookshelf behind me somewhere so what did you pay for it I don't I honestly I
30:22
don't remember I just remember that she gave me a massive discount because she
30:24
she hated it just wanted to G great she found it disturbing
30:29
that's the point of the Necronomicon isn't it it's got a lot of uh well it's
30:34
it's just his artwork for this is this Giger is the guy who designed the alien
30:38
from Alien and its sequels did some a bunch of film work it's quite disturbing
30:43
and it's got a lot of um sexy stuff in it but it's not sexy it's like hor
30:49
horrific weird things like a lot of
30:53
gross dicks and vaginas and things that right worked into do we need to play the
31:00
genital news jingle for this it's it's really hard to explain uh just Google it
31:07
yeah look just look up HR Giga g g e r have a look at some of the images and
31:12
you'll you'll understand HR Giga sexy
31:16
maybe don't do it at work maybe not no I mean the bus this this first page on
31:21
Google is probably work safe but you'll get the idea this is still quite
31:25
disturbing oh dark seed he did the work for which is a video game from the '90s
31:30
he since passed away sadly he's a weird dude another thing that he um oh yeah
31:36
dark seed looks amazing another thing that Giga designed was all of the
31:39
grotesque Furniture in his house that he's sitting on in all of the interviews
31:43
that you ever see him do which I just love and he also did uh all the haonan
31:50
stuff for hosk's Dune which obviously never manifested but some of the artwork
31:55
for that is in the neonomicon as well it's just called HR gig is Necronomicon
32:02
it's not the Necronomicon no no it's because um different book yeah well it's
32:07
because a different shelf yeah yeah it's cuz Lovecraft never trademarked any of
32:12
the things he came up with so anyone can yeah Necronomicon is in the public
32:16
domain cuz he he died before any of that was a thing I guess but he's fairly
32:21
still want to go after the money don't they no not in this no no they did they
32:27
didn't and in fact precedent had already been sent because he while he was alive
32:32
was encouraging some of his author friends like um Howard what's the [ __ ] oh it's tolk's
32:38
family oh yeah yeah that what's what's the guy that wrote
32:42
um Conan I can't believe uh Robert Howard [ __ ] any anyway nerds are
32:48
yelling at their [ __ ] phones at this point convinced some of his author
32:52
friends to set some of their books in his world using his Mythos so by the
32:58
time he died they were like well you've pretty much given this stuff away so
33:03
it's open source and he was not Popular until after he died
33:08
anyway Roberty Howard Roberty Howard
33:12
right so Matt tell us about the Hellraiser reboot with the all female
33:18
cast that they feel people are begging for I don't know they're all female the
33:23
article just says they're they're doing a hell Riser reboot which I think we
33:27
can't I think we knew that already they've done um at least one film
33:32
without Doug Bradley as pin head uh which I have not watched cuz the the
33:38
prequal kind of film was it I I I probably should watch it but I haven't I
33:43
just know that Doug Bradley got replaced and I was like well that's silly cuz he
33:48
is pin head but uh now they're doing a new
33:52
Hellraiser reboot Hulu is doing it cuz it did so well for nightmare and El oh
33:59
God the one with um what's his name from um yeah from uh from Watchmen what's
34:05
that guy the the redhead the guy who played uh for who was in that movie oh
34:11
sure yeah yeah he was Freddy Krueger that's the one you're talking
34:15
about yeah we never they never cuz that was a reboot restart and then one movie
34:21
never heard of it yeah I remember so little about that movie uh this is
34:26
written by or sorry the story is by
34:29
David goyer who has a mixed track record
34:34
yeah yeah yeah he's yeah but he's done the first blade and he did uh Batman
34:40
Begins and but he also he also did the third blade as far if I recall he
34:45
directed the third blade which was a [ __ ] disaster yeah so but maybe he's
34:49
a writer not a director yeah you got to take the script off him at at a certain
34:53
point but he did Foundation as well which so far I think he also wrote the
34:58
some of Alex PR's movies from memory oh he may have he's fairly prolific he's
35:03
all over the place it says Dark Knight I don't think he wrote The Dark Knight or
35:06
at least he may have co-written it with Jonathan Nolan but oh okay he definitely
35:11
wrote Batman be was he contracted at DC at that point and maybe he did an early
35:15
oh maybe an early draft of something that they had to give him a story credit
35:19
for yep yeah I going for memory so I could be very wrong but I feel like me
35:25
I've never I've never heard got when Christopher Nan was like
35:29
I'm going to get my brother some work yeah and I could understand if Batman
35:32
Begins had some staff Riders on but by the sequel surely that was the Nolan
35:36
show but anyway this uh this Hellraiser is got a lady pin head so you know okay
35:43
fair enough I mean but she's called pin
35:48
tits yeah the costume is slightly different
35:53
but only slightly yeah so I mean I guess I mean
35:59
look I hope this does as well as the female recasting of
36:03
Ghostbusters I don't know if you've got the same sort of ad that I'm seeing on
36:07
this article but it's just just beneath share on Facebook and share on Twitter
36:11
it goes love Hill raer stream your favorites on Disney plus well it's Hulu
36:18
right yes I guess it's the same uh Hulu
36:22
is owned by Disney no mine says my my popup ads say
37:15
[Laughter]
37:28
Hellraiser Inferno is the one I'm thinking of and it's they all sort of
37:33
sort of merge together at some point for me after the third one I think I'm not
37:38
sure I was paying a whole lot of attention to them and I'm looking now
37:41
it's got one star on Rotten Tomatoes so maybe I should rewatch it but I remember
37:47
don't rewatch it and just remember it how you want to remember it I remember
37:51
it has kind of an odd David Lynch style
37:54
feel to it that I like yeah maybe I should maybe I should oh
38:00
and it's got uh Dexter's dad in it at the cast now he's good actually wow
38:05
there's a lot of them Hellraisers yeah yeah do you still have your semi life
38:10
siiz Hellraiser uh I do he's upstairs yeah well your herul sized Hellraiser I
38:15
should say he's not life siiz but he is very big for an action pad and uh I've
38:19
got Freddy Kruger as well they're upstairs a nice
38:23
or daughter calls him pizza face man
38:29
Fair yeah that works yeah it's Robert England not the not the new guy speaking
38:34
of Dexter I showed you guys but we went through the we went in the town the
38:40
where they shot the the reboot or the not the re you know the new season I I
38:44
want to get psyched for that but I must admit I'm not I'm not interested in the
38:49
slightest which is unusual because I love Dexter but I feel they
38:55
really yeah I know but but yeah I know a lot of people are thinking
39:00
this is an opportunity for them to redo the ending but for me even a bad ending
39:05
was still an ending and I've moved on yeah yeah and it's still the they can't
39:10
get rid of what happened unless they're going to try to do that some way still
39:15
he still behaved very oddly there and it' be like if they said now oh we're
39:19
going to do re we're going to do an extra season of Battle Star Galactica or
39:22
lost are going to be like well yeah those both had shitty endings and I was
39:26
disappointed but like what am I going to do now yeah man a new season a lost to be
39:32
wild yeah it wasn't the afterlife after all it was an [Laughter]
39:38
island oh I'm just remembering the last episodes of battar Galactica what the
39:44
don't don't don't do it don't do it there were bits I really liked about
39:48
it but I'm looking for I'm looking forward to the reboot batt not even the
39:52
last episode I haven't even re I've rewatched Battle Star a couple of times
39:56
and I've not rewatched the last season yeah right actually what's happening
39:59
with the Battle Star reboot the other one is The Buffy reboot that that's gone
40:03
quiet too is that still happening I watched a bit of Buffy this week I know
40:07
you guys were both watching it so I popped it on while I was having dinner
40:10
the other night from episode one man you forget how many like series long
40:16
storyline started in the first couple of episodes yeah yeah yeah they really hit
40:22
the ground running and there's a lot of
40:25
um like well-known actors in Buffy with just little tiny roles you see someone
40:30
pop in you get oh look at that like [ __ ] I think you get famous later I
40:34
think Ben affx in uh Buffy really oh man
40:40
yeah but Matt I think you mentioned this at the time it might have been offline
40:44
but um it really startled me to find that um where giles's
40:48
age yes yeah almost like I relate to his character far more than I relate to a
40:54
bunch of teenagers yeah far more how did he up with like dealing with teenagers I
40:59
learned that uh there's only one episode
41:02
of Buffy that Nicholas Brendan is not in oh and I felt like that's kind of a
41:08
shame I feel bad for I mean not that it doesn't matter but I was just like oh
41:12
wow so there's out of all the episodes um s michell Geller and Allison Hanigan
41:17
are in all of them and Nicholas Brenan is in all of them but one and the reason
41:22
he's not in it is it's it's from like I think the last season and it was the one where
41:28
they all get visited by the ghost or Spirit of somebody from from their past
41:34
and Xander was supposed to get visited by remember uh Jesse his friend from the
41:39
first season who died I remember that cuz that's I've watched the episode like
41:42
three nights ago okay and you know that actor he's like quite a well I don't know his name
41:49
he yeah he's in six feet under and he went on to do no I'm come back for that
41:55
right well he I guess he wasn't available in the end but but but to at
42:00
the point he pulled out it was too late and so they just to write that story we
42:04
have to cut all the Xander stuff oh wow and so for that reason he's just not in
42:08
that episode and I was like that's kind of shitty otherwise he would have been
42:12
in all of them I heard it's probably on one of the special features on the DVDs
42:16
back in the day but um they were saying how they wanted to
42:22
just let you ass or no they even asked if they could put him that character of
42:26
Jesse in the opening credits for those first two episodes so that people would
42:29
just assume he was going to be part of the main gang for the whole show and
42:33
then when he died spoilers for the second episode you'd be like oh [ __ ] didn't
42:39
last long yeah right well then they did they they were doy didn't they for Angel
42:45
yeah they killed him in the first season he really died he really died so just
42:50
you know but not not in the show that's why they wrote him out of the show cuz
42:53
he was dead no I don't I think he after episode he dies and they come up [ __ ]
43:00
in memory of the guy who played this character wait is that true they had him
43:04
killed just to pull off that gag that we were talking about he was like I'm done
43:08
with this I'm done with this role I mean now with the revelations about Joss I
43:12
guess I guess I believe it now bullied to
43:17
death [ __ ] him to death Jesus well I mean they worked together on Roseanne so
43:23
he couldn't have had too bad a time yeah I believe he had a bit of a drug problem
43:27
wait Jos Weeden worked on Roseanne yes Jos Weeden wrote Roseanne who's the
43:31
writer what all right I didn't know that wait say he they really wrote do out
43:36
because his the character died the the actor died I think they wrote him out
43:40
because he was I think as Luke says having some problems oh oh oh okay all
43:45
right and then by the time it came to air I think he ODed or something should
43:51
we fact check this whil we
43:57
maybe we know he died Quinn was tragically dealing with
44:04
number Jenna who is going to be editing this is probably [ __ ] yelling at me
44:09
as she's editing this right now according to Google we're correct yeah I
44:13
thought so yeah cuz he was actually quite good in the show it was sort of a
44:18
shame when they killed him off but then you sort of found out why killed
44:23
especially since they did that thing that Joss became great at and and in
44:26
fact it became bit of a a bit of a cliche in the end but a character that
44:31
you disliked or didn't care about would
44:36
suddenly he'd make you care about them
44:39
immensely just before they died right oh
44:44
yeah like um Miss calendar Jenny
44:51
[ __ ] uh who you were like a [ __ ] she [ __ ] betrayed him and then you're
44:55
like oh she's trying to help her oh she's dead yeah that's right yeah
45:00
yeah oh and then apparently she wouldn't come back later because she became a
45:05
born again Christian and she was like that's a shame not playing a ghost oh
45:11
wow not into that Glenn Quinn did some of the voices in X-Wing versus TIE
45:16
fighter did he did he the Irish voices I
45:20
guess it was a toy fer coming in he was rebel pilot number
45:26
two oh and Jennifer H was in it of course she was yeah she's in [ __ ] everything
45:32
everything yeah Deni Vu got some Den Vu stuff he's he's around lately because
45:38
dune's coming out he's must be feeling pretty good about himself right now and
45:42
Luke um you might have to eat your hat on this one um is it out yet not here it's out
45:48
in Asia and Europe and it's immensely popular it's doing very well how doing the second
45:54
week I think it's third or yeah know okay damn cuz I know it sold
46:00
out like the first week and I'm expecting that but it's the second week
46:03
where like where where where it dies off see if it has some longevity Got My
46:07
Ticket all I know is that they had they put one screening of
46:12
it in the Sydney film festival for later this month and I went to the website the
46:17
second it popped up on social media and it was already sold out oh
46:22
man well they've been asking him about some stuff this week and uh some of was
46:27
in he apparently was worried about Blade Runner 2049 which I thought was [ __ ]
46:34
fantastic but uh people were telling him Blade Runner oh you kind of you're
46:39
messing with uh you're messing with an iconic franchise there that's probably
46:43
not a good idea and he was like really [ __ ] they've been messing with that
46:47
franchise for years but he was he was a bit worried about it so uh it was
46:52
sacrilegious oh apparently Christopher Nolan said to him you're walking on
46:56
sacred territory oh so I mean it's a fair point like
47:01
Blade Runner was so iconic if 20149 hadn't been good that would have been a
47:07
problem but he was worried he wouldn't work again afterwards if if he didn't do
47:10
a good job basically yeah
47:13
right and uh they also said to him would you do a James Bond movie and he said
47:19
yeah I'd love to yeah bring bring that [ __ ] on I mean this is one of those
47:23
things where I mean Christopher Nolan also often gets asked that and he Al
47:27
also also says sure doesn't mean it's going to happen no but actually they dad
47:33
would you like to direct a James Bond movie yes I would there you
47:38
go Dan says he wants to direct James
47:41
Bond movie I do um I believe that the
47:46
broccoli approached Nolan at some stage and Nolan said he would do it but they
47:53
have to give him creative control and they said that's not how we do things
47:56
here at the James Bond officers and also I would not like the ending of the
48:01
movie that's fair but also he's made a James Bond movie now because tenet was
48:05
his James Bond movie sure sure so I don't think he needs to so give this to
48:11
Denny Viller yeah Inception also had flavors of bond yeah or
48:16
us yeah agreed I'll be a new James
48:20
Bond inion has some very specific 100% I'd do it
48:27
M imagine that imagine that it's like okay the new James Bond movie is being
48:32
it's being written um by by three guys you've never heard of
48:37
who are also in the film one of them's directing first 20 minutes is going to
48:41
be amazing we won't tell you his name because you wouldn't have known it and
48:45
the guy playing James Bond is this bearded redhead from Sid from formerly
48:50
of Sydney um who can't walk properly y
48:55
can't ride and don't expect any stunts he's going to rely heavily on the
49:01
gadgets I'm not getting out the car he rides a
49:07
moped yeah be great I'd watch it let's make
49:13
done a chip version of the iconic Bond theme yeah why not I mean there's plenty of good
49:20
reasons why not but we're not listening to them we don't care about them our
49:24
favorite character from uh Wonder division is getting her own spin-off series
49:31
uh Agatha the witch wow wow oh
49:36
arguably the most disappointing moment in any TV series I've watched in The
49:41
Last 5 Years is where they pivoted to her people loved it at the time but I
49:47
think that's just uh at the time I mean I don't I I was acutely
49:52
aware that I was in the minority when I cuz I [ __ ] hated her in it I thought
49:56
she was awful [ __ ] garbage she was [ __ ] garbage but I know people did
50:02
like her so fair enough did they yeah
50:06
really yeah wow okay okay yeah are they just try are they just scrambling try
50:12
throwing spagetti television shows going I I mean I don't think they need to do
50:16
that they've got they have like some [ __ ] ridiculous amount of stuff in
50:20
the works like 50 something films and TV
50:24
shows going like I don't think they're I think I think for some reason people
50:30
really liked her and then they were like all right let do a [ __ ] Agatha Harkness
50:35
show wow okay I don't get it but fair enough
50:41
honestly I won't watch this and I wouldn't I wouldn't watch season two of
50:45
One Division anyway I thought they had such great promise and then just didn't
50:50
deliver well I I couldn't do a season two that had to end the way it ended
50:55
yeah yeah and I'm happy for that yeah that's I'm looking forward to Loki
51:00
season 2 yeah amazing bring that on Winter
51:05
Soldier what's the next original one they're doing there must be one coming
51:10
up they just finished if Hawkeye what if
51:14
too bad yeah hawkey is coming out soon and Hawkeye yeah yeah what if it seems
51:19
interesting but I'm probably not going to watch it guys to be honest um I I was
51:24
thinking the same then I actually watched it and it wasn't too bad H it's
51:27
actually interesting okay it is just what it is it's a cartoon yeah I don't watch a lot of
51:33
cartoons but it wasn't like a uh Star
51:37
Wars yeah Wars or anything bit more
51:41
conceptual hawkey's at November 24 oh okay not too far not too
51:47
far with yena wonder if she's going to continue her accent oh she know she has an
51:52
American accent now doesn't she I can't remember who [ __ ] knows I think oh
51:56
she's British anyway that's going to get she's she's just not allowed to use a
51:59
normal voice I guess that's the rule that actress look we're probably coming
52:03
up on the hour and we're probably going to want to go into the after party cuz I
52:05
know I I could use a drink but before we go over there um I I just think it would
52:10
be a Miss for us not to talk about this in the main show um William Shatner is
52:15
going to space yes yes he will be the oldest person to
52:22
go to space I think now I I've read about this about a week ago when no one
52:27
had confirmed it but I think he he had tweeted somebody had tweeted William
52:32
Shatner is going to space and everyone was like well this can't be real but
52:37
evidently bezos's blue Origins the next flight he done the blue origin one yeah yeah
52:44
yeah why does it matter Luke well I thought he might be going on the one
52:49
that's actually going to sort of orbit the earth not the one that's going to go
52:52
up spend four minutes there and then come back fair
52:58
fair you thought they were going to shoot his body up to die on Mars didn't
53:02
you why not be a way to go yeah so
53:07
hopefully his his 90-year-old body can survive this yeah although I mean what a
53:13
way to go if not oh yeah imagine that Shatner dies in
53:19
space I wonder if he's hoping that's what happens mate we've got the
53:22
voiceovers for the eulogy already you know what I mean like [ __ ] hell to go
53:28
boldly I know has G before except Jeff Bezos did go up
53:33
there yeah yeah um I love this tweet though from Jason Alexander who plays
53:39
George on Seinfeld um who tweeted today
53:45
um shaton is going to space looks like
53:48
looks like I might become a real marine
53:52
biologist mhm also highest rating show
53:56
on Netflix right now sidei is it so he doesn't need it just came out they just
54:02
paid a lot of money for it yeah see I saw it and I went no no no I'm watching
54:07
it while I'm eating my dinner the last couple of nights it's great I've seen
54:10
enough repeats of it I'm yeah the thing is though watching it in order is better
54:15
because you I don't know I don't know why in the 80s and 90s in Australia they
54:19
play TV shows out of order I don't know why yeah Seinfield was on and it was
54:23
whatever episode the person felt like putting on that night yeah whatever they
54:27
in but there are so many gags that are running gags that are only funny because
54:33
you watch them in sequence yeah I have to do a rewatch of that before we move
54:39
on should we maybe also discuss the Airbnb oh yeah so Matt at some point in
54:44
the future we're going to need a little real estate jingle oh you know like the last last
54:49
several episodes we've talked about multile Lord G in real estate The
54:54
Conjuring house is up for sale and suggested it might be better off just
54:58
being an Airbnb people might want to spend one night in The Conjuring house
55:02
um well whoever owns the screamous has gone good idea good idea so um you can
55:09
