Speaker 1: The Large Nor Drunk Collider Podcast is a production of
0:10
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio. Hey everybody, welcome to the Large Ner
0:21
Speaker 1: Drunk Collider Podcast, the podcast that's all about the geeky
0:24
Speaker 1: things happening in the world around us and how very
0:27
Speaker 1: excited we are about them. I'm Ariel casting and with
0:30
Speaker 1: me as always is Baby New Year Jonathan Strickland. I
0:34
Speaker 1: like that. I was wondering if you're going to call
0:36
Speaker 1: me Jonathan old Lang sign Strickland. But I like Baby
0:39
Speaker 1: New Year a lot better. I did consider it. I
0:42
Speaker 1: did consider it so well done. So we are recording
0:45
Speaker 1: this well before the actual New Year. But when you
0:49
Speaker 1: listen to this, this is our our final episode of one,
0:53
Speaker 1: and I could not I could not go through the
0:57
Speaker 1: entire final episode without asking Ariel one last question. Okay, Ariel,
1:09
Speaker 1: and my last question, I mean the last question of
1:12
Speaker 1: I expect I will continue to ask questions in two.
1:15
Speaker 1: But here is the one for what is something in
1:19
Speaker 1: the geeky universe out there that came out in one
1:24
Speaker 1: that you found particularly interesting or entertaining or satisfying. So
1:29
Speaker 1: this was a little bit hard, simply because time is
1:32
Speaker 1: so amalogamous right now that I had to make sure
1:34
Speaker 1: the things that most excited me from this year actually
1:36
Speaker 1: happened this year that I totally understand. And it's actually
1:42
Speaker 1: like a deathmatch between shang Chi and the Ten Rings
1:47
Speaker 1: Legend of the Ten Rings and One Division, and I
1:49
Speaker 1: think One Division eats out the win, but those two
1:53
Speaker 1: like and you stole mine, you stole mine, Ariel one
1:57
Speaker 1: divisions mine too. It's awesome. I mean, it is well
2:00
Speaker 1: that show just it was so well rounded, it was
2:03
Speaker 1: so creative. It's not something we've really seen a lot
2:06
Speaker 1: of before. It was just it was a very fresh
2:09
Speaker 1: piece of media for the year. You know, it certainly
2:12
Speaker 1: was a bittersweet, but it was just so well done
2:16
Speaker 1: and so unique that yeah, it came out I think
2:20
Speaker 1: in January, so like a year later, it's still just
2:24
Speaker 1: I mean, no other piece of geegy media that I
2:28
Speaker 1: saw this past year hit me in the stern um
2:32
Speaker 1: the way the line what is grief but love persevering?
2:36
Speaker 1: Did that that spoke to me directly Like that, I
2:40
Speaker 1: was like, that is a way of describing grief that
2:46
Speaker 1: is perfect in my opinion. So yes, One Division was
2:50
Speaker 1: my pick as well, because I watched a lot of
2:53
Speaker 1: geeky stuff this year, not all of it came out
2:55
Speaker 1: this year, but I watched a lot of geeky things
2:57
Speaker 1: that I enjoyed, but that one. Not only did I
3:01
Speaker 1: absolutely love the first three episodes where we got the
3:04
Speaker 1: whole sitcom stuff where only occasionally something was hinky going on,
3:09
Speaker 1: I loved the incorporation of the outer world into the story.
3:14
Speaker 1: And I love the implications for the multiverse. It's set
3:19
Speaker 1: up so many nice things, including stuff that we saw
3:22
Speaker 1: in Loki Um, stuff that we know is going to
3:25
Speaker 1: continue to play out in Doctor Strange and Aunt Man
3:28
Speaker 1: and all these other properties. So yeah, like that, I
3:32
Speaker 1: just I was I know that some people found it
3:35
Speaker 1: either slow moving, like they were saying, when are the
3:37
Speaker 1: things going to start happening? But I was like, this
3:39
Speaker 1: is the world building that I absolutely love. So I
3:45
Speaker 1: think the interesting thing for me, well, one that that
3:47
Speaker 1: line about grief is is both yeah, it really hammers
3:50
Speaker 1: home and also it's I feel like it's a really
3:52
Speaker 1: healthy way to look at your sorrow and kind of
3:55
Speaker 1: build it into something productive and good, like like I think,
3:59
Speaker 1: I think it's a really really good outlook on that,
4:01
Speaker 1: but also like it it allowed me to geek out about, um,
4:06
Speaker 1: this is how great the show is that I still
4:07
Speaker 1: can't even contain all my thoughts about it. You know,
4:09
Speaker 1: I was able to geek out about old television, which
4:12
Speaker 1: I love. Yeah, I feel like sometimes I'm an old soul.
4:16
Speaker 1: I like music before my time and TV before my time.
4:19
Speaker 1: But I don't feel like the world building, Like I
4:23
Speaker 1: don't think things were slow to start, because that world
4:25
Speaker 1: building was things starting, Like maybe you didn't have all
4:29
Speaker 1: the pieces connecting, and maybe people were a little sour
4:32
Speaker 1: when they anticipated the wrong things, but like, yeah, even
4:42
Speaker 1: a year later, that makes me laugh. But the fact
4:44
Speaker 1: that it was so engaging outside of the episodes, like
4:47
Speaker 1: I count that as a major win, even if people
4:49
Speaker 1: did get a little salty that they weren't right. And
4:52
Speaker 1: and something else that I actually really liked, although I mean,
4:55
Speaker 1: obviously it was frustrating to go week to week, but
4:58
Speaker 1: I love that it was another show where people were
5:01
Speaker 1: eager to see the next episode. It became something you
5:04
Speaker 1: would anticipate. It wasn't something that you could just binge
5:07
Speaker 1: right out of the gate. You had to wait for
5:09
Speaker 1: the next one. And it was that conversation and that
5:12
Speaker 1: anticipation that's like the life blood of the geek community.
5:16
Speaker 1: In my mind. And it's something that you kind of
5:19
Speaker 1: lose when you go through the the Netflix approach of
5:24
Speaker 1: the entire season debuts on day one. Not that that's
5:28
Speaker 1: a bad thing necessarily, you just lose that element of
5:31
Speaker 1: geek culture allowing allowing it to be weekly and and
5:34
Speaker 1: bite size makes it a shared experience, yes, and and
5:39
Speaker 1: makes you makes you pay attention to more the details,
5:41
Speaker 1: to talk about more of the details, as opposed to
5:44
Speaker 1: you know, oh, that tasted like I I ate this
5:47
Speaker 1: entire stoffers mac and cheese cast role in one bite,
5:50
Speaker 1: and I guess I tested tasted cheddar. Yeah, I realized
5:53
Speaker 1: that's but I need an ascid. That's all I know now.
5:59
Speaker 1: Um So, we wanted to talk a little bit about
6:03
Speaker 1: some stuff that we're anticipating next year. Also, you know,
6:06
Speaker 1: we had had in our notes about New Year's resolutions,
6:09
Speaker 1: and I actually do have one geeky kind of new
6:11
Speaker 1: Year's resolution. I don't know if you actually had any, aerial,
6:15
Speaker 1: but I'll share my little one, which is that you know,
6:19
Speaker 1: I I have always I've never been like a hardcore
6:22
Speaker 1: comic book guy. I was a casual collector at best,
6:27
Speaker 1: So I had collections of some pretty minor titles here
6:32
Speaker 1: or there. You know. I had a few of the
6:34
Speaker 1: what If titles. I had some Spider Ham titles. I
6:38
Speaker 1: had what the which was a comedy series that was
6:41
Speaker 1: a spoof on the what If series. Um, but I
6:45
Speaker 1: never really got into collecting, and I'm thinking about not collecting,
6:50
Speaker 1: but maybe selecting one or two comic book titles to
6:56
Speaker 1: kind of dive into in the next year and just
7:00
Speaker 1: kind of experience that from that level of of the
7:04
Speaker 1: fandom space because I haven't done it really, so what
7:08
Speaker 1: will first have to start, obviously, is I'll have to
7:10
Speaker 1: do some homework to figure out which title or titles
7:14
Speaker 1: I would like to explore. That is a really cool,
7:19
Speaker 1: like I almost want to make that one of my resolutions, uh,
7:22
Speaker 1: if I have time after my other geeky resolutions, which
7:25
Speaker 1: are to restart Skyrim and actually finish it, and also
7:31
Speaker 1: I feel that and also finished Mass Effect Andromeda before
7:35
Speaker 1: the new Mass Effect game tentatively comes out whenever that is,
7:39
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a release state. I don't
7:42
Speaker 1: know if I'm just imagining it at this point. Um.
7:46
Speaker 1: I mean, I totally feel the Skyrim thing because I
7:48
Speaker 1: fall into the trap of, oh, maybe I should do
7:52
Speaker 1: these eighteen other side quests before I do the next
7:55
Speaker 1: main quest storyline, and then I never like I lose
8:00
Speaker 1: team before I ever get to the end of the game,
8:03
Speaker 1: or I feel overwhelmed, like it almost becomes like a
8:05
Speaker 1: life thing where you're just like now it feels like
8:08
Speaker 1: busy work and I'm not really enjoying myself. I finally
8:11
Speaker 1: went back and played a playthrough of Skyrim where I
8:14
Speaker 1: did almost a bare minimum of the side quest things
8:17
Speaker 1: just to play through the main story so I could
8:19
Speaker 1: complete it um. And then I got the DLC, and
8:23
Speaker 1: I'm all the way back in the like I haven't
8:25
Speaker 1: finished the DLC. I would be tempted if I thought
8:29
Speaker 1: either of us would actually keep our resolutions on any
8:31
Speaker 1: sort of regular basis, to to have check ins like, Hey,
8:35
Speaker 1: how's your how's this comic series going for you? Hey,
8:38
Speaker 1: how's Skyrim going for you? And you're like, well, those
8:41
Speaker 1: darn storm cloaks, all right, Well, I think now we
8:45
Speaker 1: can chat a little bit about some of the stuff
8:48
Speaker 1: that we're anticipating for next year. And this is gonna
8:51
Speaker 1: be a couple of different segments because there's a lot, y'all,
8:55
Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, I think it's just that the world
9:00
Speaker 1: is is reopening, so we're getting like all of that
9:04
Speaker 1: backlog of things that didn't that got delayed. Yeah, they
9:07
Speaker 1: got pushed back. Yeah. So you start off area, what's
9:11
Speaker 1: something that you're really anticipating for next year. Well, the
9:14
Speaker 1: very first thing is I'm planning knock on Wood to
9:18
Speaker 1: actually go see Beetle Juice next year. I thought that
9:21
Speaker 1: I would never get the chance to see it on
9:23
Speaker 1: Broadway because it was supposed to close in June. Of
9:27
Speaker 1: of course that got greatly pushed up because it was
9:32
Speaker 1: canceled before my tickets, which was fine because we had
9:35
Speaker 1: already canceled our trip due to covid um. But you know,
9:40
Speaker 1: you've heard me talk about it on the show before.
9:41
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're reopening the show, and so I'm hoping
9:46
Speaker 1: that things would be safe enough now that I'm vaccinated
9:48
Speaker 1: and boosted to go watch it sometime in the later
9:53
Speaker 1: part of the new year. That's exciting because that's one
9:57
Speaker 1: of those shows that that, uh, I've only listened to
10:00
Speaker 1: a couple of the songs outside of you know, obviously
10:04
Speaker 1: the Banana Boat song that's that's included in there. Uh,
10:08
Speaker 1: And so I'm only kind of familiar. I know that
10:10
Speaker 1: the storyline is different from the film it departs in
10:14
Speaker 1: several ways. Uh, And I know that the stage effects
10:18
Speaker 1: are supposed to be really impressive with that show. So
10:22
Speaker 1: none of my plans have anything or another things I'm
10:24
Speaker 1: anticipating have anything to do with me going anywhere, because
10:28
Speaker 1: I think right now, uh, I only have I've got
10:30
Speaker 1: two trips planned for twenty twenty two, and those have
10:34
Speaker 1: been planned for ages and uh. Beyond that, I just
10:38
Speaker 1: haven't made any any sort of of plans or hopes.
10:41
Speaker 1: So all the stuff I'm hoping for pretty much falls
10:44
Speaker 1: into or rather anticipating falls into film and TV. So
10:49
Speaker 1: you had mentioned to me before that there might have
10:51
Speaker 1: been a couple of experience ones that you were thinking of.
10:53
Speaker 1: Was there another one? Yes? So I am planning on
10:57
Speaker 1: taking stunt classes in everybody makes that like that resolution
11:02
Speaker 1: to get in shape and be healthier, yours is Yours
11:06
Speaker 1: is to get beat up and thrown out of cars. Yeah,
11:08
Speaker 1: I mean I'll get beat up and thrown out of
11:10
Speaker 1: cars at the same time as I will tone muscle
11:12
Speaker 1: and lose weight. Um. Two birds, one stone for birds,
11:16
Speaker 1: one's pully something like that. So there's that, Um, you
11:22
Speaker 1: know you talked about maybe doing a D and D game.
11:25
Speaker 1: That is true. That is true. I didn't I didn't
11:28
Speaker 1: mention that one because I had not really thought about that.
11:31
Speaker 1: But that is true that I do want to start
11:34
Speaker 1: that D and D campaign and and hold some games
11:38
Speaker 1: where people can play and that kind of piratical dn
11:42
Speaker 1: D setting. So yes, that is you know now that
11:45
Speaker 1: you mentioned it, I had totally forgotten about that. Yeah,
11:47
Speaker 1: well you know now you know, it's something that I'm
11:49
Speaker 1: potentially looking forward to, providing I have enough time. Because
11:53
Speaker 1: the other thing I'm looking forward to is being cast
11:56
Speaker 1: as a thing in the New Fantastic Four movie. No,
11:58
Speaker 1: it hasn't happened yet, but you know, who knows, maybe
12:03
Speaker 1: somebody on my behalf will start like the social media
12:06
Speaker 1: campaign and it'll blow up. I like pizza, I'm kind
12:09
Speaker 1: of snarky, I like clawber and things. I think it
12:12
Speaker 1: could really happen. She's at least ben Grim. Yeah, I
12:19
Speaker 1: see what you did there, So like, you know, it
12:23
Speaker 1: was U fun. It was a good one, you know,
12:24
Speaker 1: dream big. You never know. I am putting it out
12:29
Speaker 1: there in the universe, putting it out there like Seemulu
12:32
Speaker 1: when he put up his shutter Stocker or get his
12:36
Speaker 1: image saying, Hey, shouldn't I be a Marvel superhero. That's
12:39
Speaker 1: that's not exactly how it happened, but you know internet rumors. Um,
12:44
Speaker 1: you know, I I am an actor. I do audition
12:47
Speaker 1: for things. It's not the thing for the thing. Yeah,
12:52
Speaker 1: it's it's not entirely out of the scope of possibility.
12:55
Speaker 1: And I like to dream big. So that okay. So
12:59
Speaker 1: that's it for my experiences. I mean TV shows and
13:02
Speaker 1: movies and video games are all experiences too. But let's
13:06
Speaker 1: let's talk about the video game thing before we go
13:08
Speaker 1: to break because I have one video game I'm anticipating.
13:11
Speaker 1: But what is the video game you are looking forward to.
13:15
Speaker 1: It's Seafoo, which is a game about Jeet Kundo pretty much. Um,
13:21
Speaker 1: it's like a fighting game with some cool mechanics, and
13:23
Speaker 1: I don't actually plan on playing it, but I often
13:26
Speaker 1: watch my husband play through video games that interests me,
13:29
Speaker 1: but I know I would be bad at and that's
13:31
Speaker 1: that's the one that I am looking forward to him playing. Yeah,
13:35
Speaker 1: I've seen a little bit of early footage of this game,
13:38
Speaker 1: and it's pretty cool where you can do things like
13:39
Speaker 1: you can focus and that will give you indicators of
13:43
Speaker 1: weak points for your opponents that you can start striking.
13:46
Speaker 1: You can develop different um, different fighting styles and stuff
13:51
Speaker 1: that you can incorporate into your play. Also, if you die,
13:57
Speaker 1: you come back, but you're older. Yeah, it's but it's
14:00
Speaker 1: also I heard it kind of described as vaguely roguelike,
14:04
Speaker 1: not entirely, because you can gain either abilities or gear.
14:10
Speaker 1: But yeah, each time, each time you die, you get
14:15
Speaker 1: a chance to select some new ability or capability or whatever.
14:19
Speaker 1: But you also age, and so you have a limited
14:22
Speaker 1: number of lives because after a while you age to
14:24
Speaker 1: the point where you're you know, not capable of of
14:28
Speaker 1: doing martial arts on anybody. But yeah, that's cool. The
14:32
Speaker 1: one that I am anticipating is Lord of the Rings Gollum.
14:36
Speaker 1: I'm anticipating that game. That one's supposed to come out.
14:40
Speaker 1: I don't know if it will come out next year.
14:42
Speaker 1: Video games those dates are more flexible than any other
14:46
Speaker 1: date because obviously making a game is really complicated and
14:50
Speaker 1: it doesn't always ship at the time when it was predicted.
14:54
Speaker 1: But that is supposed to come out. Remind me, remind
14:57
Speaker 1: me which game studio is doing that one. I cannot
15:01
Speaker 1: remind you because I do not know. I just remember
15:03
Speaker 1: that that's coming out in two and I love Lord
15:07
Speaker 1: of the Rings. I have enjoyed some of the previous
15:11
Speaker 1: Lord of the Rings video games that have come out
15:12
Speaker 1: in the recent past, like Shadow of Mordor and stuff
15:15
Speaker 1: like that, So that is I'm anticipating it, um, you know,
15:20
Speaker 1: and and obviously, like I'll wait to learn more about
15:22
Speaker 1: it before I go all in. But that's something I'm
15:24
Speaker 1: excited about. Now. When we come back, we're going to
15:28
Speaker 1: talk about some of the films and TV series and
15:32
Speaker 1: streaming series and all that kind of stuff that we're
15:34
Speaker 1: looking forward to in the next year. But before that,
15:36
Speaker 1: let's take this quick break, okay, Ariel, I suspect that
15:51
Speaker 1: your list in my list, which, by the way, listeners,
15:54
Speaker 1: we have not shared with each other. I suspect there's
15:56
Speaker 1: gonna be a touch of overlap between the two of them. Probably.
16:00
Speaker 1: I think you might be surprised about some of the
16:02
Speaker 1: ones I picked, though, well, I know, I'm sure there's
16:05
Speaker 1: going to be ones that you picked, but I'm going
16:07
Speaker 1: to be like, not not at all interested. But that's fine.
16:11
Speaker 1: It takes all kinds. So let me tell you what
16:13
Speaker 1: my first one is. Spider Man Across the Spider Verse
16:18
Speaker 1: Part one. Yes, I I have that on my list.
16:20
Speaker 1: I know we talked about it, uh this month. We
16:24
Speaker 1: talked about it this month. I couldn't tell you a
16:26
Speaker 1: couple of episodes ago, but for us it was like
16:29
Speaker 1: two days ago. Yeah, yeah, I just it's such a
16:35
Speaker 1: it's such a fun take on the Multiverse. I cannot
16:38
Speaker 1: I cannot wait. Well, And when they when they slapped
16:41
Speaker 1: that Part one at the end of that teaser, that
16:43
Speaker 1: was where I in wrestling terminology. It's where I marked
16:47
Speaker 1: out because I was like, the they already had me
16:53
Speaker 1: as soon as it started. They already had me. And
16:55
Speaker 1: then when it was a part one, where I said, well,
16:57
Speaker 1: that means there's going to be at least a part two,
16:59
Speaker 1: if not more than a Part two, I was very happy.
17:04
Speaker 1: All right. So that's that's number one on both of
17:06
Speaker 1: our lists. Let me hear one of yours. Going back
17:09
Speaker 1: to the Lord of the Rings, we're supposed to get
17:11
Speaker 1: the new Lord of the Rings show in two. That's
17:14
Speaker 1: fighting with the last of Us to be the most
17:16
Speaker 1: expensive show ever made. I mean, we still don't know
17:20
Speaker 1: a whole lot about it. I don't think, but I
17:23
Speaker 1: like Lord of the Rings like you do. It looks
17:25
Speaker 1: so pretty so far and we'll have time. Is better
17:28
Speaker 1: than I anticipated, so hopefully Lord of the Rings will
17:31
Speaker 1: follow suit. Yeah, that one's actually here's the weird thing.
17:34
Speaker 1: That one's under my curious list, as opposed to like,
17:37
Speaker 1: I made two lists. I made one list that's this
17:40
Speaker 1: is the stuff I really want to see, and then
17:42
Speaker 1: I had a curious list where maybe. So that one's
17:45
Speaker 1: on my maybe listen, it's largely because I don't know
17:50
Speaker 1: enough about it. I am assuming it is like set
17:54
Speaker 1: thousands of years before the events of The Hobbit and
17:57
Speaker 1: Lord of the Rings, but that could go in many
18:00
Speaker 1: different directions. Okay, well, the next one on my list
18:03
Speaker 1: is the Batman. Oh no, I'm not looking forward to
18:07
Speaker 1: the Batman they like ha um. There are certain characters
18:16
Speaker 1: that I want to see played in that, but my
18:18
Speaker 1: favorite Batman character is the Riddler. And I don't like
18:22
Speaker 1: the campy version I like, Yeah, I like the campy,
18:25
Speaker 1: suave version. I don't like the Zodiac killer version, which
18:29
Speaker 1: it's been varying more that way, like with all of
18:32
Speaker 1: the Arkham Games and things in Gotham Games. But fair enough,
18:37
Speaker 1: I think it looks interesting, like I like, I don't know,
18:42
Speaker 1: A part of me is getting a little tired of
18:44
Speaker 1: the reinvention of Batman because it's happened so many times
18:48
Speaker 1: over the last couple of decades. But like Batman and
18:52
Speaker 1: Spider Man, I mean, they're in a race to be
18:55
Speaker 1: reinvented the most number of times in the least amount
18:58
Speaker 1: of time. But the trailer has me interested. Okay, well,
19:02
Speaker 1: what's your next one? Well before that, what most interests
19:06
Speaker 1: you about the Batman? I happen to think a a
19:10
Speaker 1: Zodiac Killer style Riddler is actually really intriguing, so that
19:16
Speaker 1: I mean to be fair, Like, I love the film Zodiac.
19:21
Speaker 1: I mean, the the actual Zodiac Killer obviously terrible, terrible,
19:24
Speaker 1: horrible monster of a of a person and did unspeakably
19:29
Speaker 1: cruel things. The movie Zodiac is incredibly um uh tense
19:37
Speaker 1: and intense, and I think it's really got some great
19:41
Speaker 1: performances in it and the things that we're making me
19:45
Speaker 1: you know that that sort of Zodiac kind of feel
19:47
Speaker 1: for the Riddler made me think of, Hey, here's a
19:50
Speaker 1: version of this story where I could get invested in
19:53
Speaker 1: in it in it and there's no there's no like
19:57
Speaker 1: creepy ugly side to it. Because it's all make believe.
20:00
Speaker 1: It's not actual, Like, it's not a story about what
20:03
Speaker 1: happened to actual people. Got you, got you? Well we
20:06
Speaker 1: can be Batman arch nemesses. It's totally fine because I
20:09
Speaker 1: think the next thing we will one agree on, which
20:12
Speaker 1: is the new Willow television show is coming out in
20:15
Speaker 1: two in theory that one's on my list. Yeah, so
20:20
Speaker 1: d plus day happened, I guess last month, and they
20:24
Speaker 1: came out with a bunch of like little teasers, and
20:26
Speaker 1: one of them was for the Willow television show. Did
20:29
Speaker 1: you see it, Jonathan? I saw mention of it. I
20:33
Speaker 1: did not actually see the teaser for the Willow Show.
20:35
Speaker 1: So it's kind of it's Warwick Davis kind of giving
20:38
Speaker 1: like a backstage tour to all of the new cast
20:41
Speaker 1: members who are going to be in this TV show,
20:43
Speaker 1: who are all millennials who or gen z who are
20:46
Speaker 1: too young to remember the original Willow, like one or
20:50
Speaker 1: two of them do uh, one of them being uh,
20:53
Speaker 1: the the actor who plays the Flash in the current
20:56
Speaker 1: series or who plays Flash in the current series of
20:58
Speaker 1: Spider Man movies, who says he I believe he's the
21:01
Speaker 1: one who's like, oh yeah, I really Love Willow looked
21:03
Speaker 1: it up. He is too young for the original Willow.
21:06
Speaker 1: But you know, I can't judge people for watching things
21:09
Speaker 1: that came out before their time. You should watch Willow.
21:11
Speaker 1: It's great, Yeah it is. It's a It's a fun
21:14
Speaker 1: fantasy film, all right. Next on my list is Thor,
21:19
Speaker 1: Love and Thunder. You know, I I am looking forward
21:24
Speaker 1: to it, but there's so much marvel stuff that that
21:27
Speaker 1: one didn't make my list. See it makes my list
21:30
Speaker 1: because Tyko wa Titi has won me over. I will
21:33
Speaker 1: watch anything he makes. Yes, that is true. And I
21:39
Speaker 1: also am really curious to see how they handle Lady
21:42
Speaker 1: Thor and whether or not Chris Him's Worth is stepping
21:46
Speaker 1: away from the role after this. Yeah, I am interested
21:49
Speaker 1: about that. I'm not disinterested in this movie. I do
21:54
Speaker 1: think tycho a Tits Thor movie is the best of
21:57
Speaker 1: the Thorn movies. Come at me, um, don't, I'm at me.
22:00
Speaker 1: We're allowed to disagree, But now I am looking forward
22:04
Speaker 1: to it. I just think that I am looking forward
22:07
Speaker 1: to Black Panther or Doctor Strange more. Both of those
22:10
Speaker 1: are also on my list. Yes, um, Doctor Strange just
22:14
Speaker 1: because it's gonna be bonkers. I'm certain um, you know
22:19
Speaker 1: they've already set it up as such and and Black
22:21
Speaker 1: Panther just because the and I know we won't have
22:24
Speaker 1: Chadwick Boseman anymore, and that's super super sad. But I
22:28
Speaker 1: love the world they created so much. I was so
22:31
Speaker 1: excited for the movie. After the movie, it's right up
22:36
Speaker 1: there with shan Chi and the Legend of the Ten
22:38
Speaker 1: Rings for me as far as quality in the Disney
22:41
Speaker 1: Marvel verse. Yep and uh and, as the subtitle says,
22:45
Speaker 1: Wakonda forever, Conda forever. Yes, So what is next on
22:51
Speaker 1: your list? Well, let's go ahead. I'm going to round
22:54
Speaker 1: out the Marvel stuff real quick, because good lord, there's
22:58
Speaker 1: there's just so much. There's too much. Next year, there's
23:01
Speaker 1: too much. So the other three that are on my
23:05
Speaker 1: list from Marvel for twenty twenty two are miss Marvel.
23:12
Speaker 1: So I want to see Kamala Kahn in action. She Hulk.
23:17
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm just sour that I'm not the she Hulk. Yeah,
23:20
Speaker 1: but you have to be the thing. So well, that's
23:23
Speaker 1: that's like my pivot, Jonathan and then Secret Invasion. H
23:28
Speaker 1: that one's gonna be good. They're they're really pulling out
23:31
Speaker 1: the stops for that cast. Yes, so those are the
23:34
Speaker 1: ones that I mean, all of all those Marvel things
23:37
Speaker 1: are things I'm really anticipating, largely because I'm hopeful that
23:41
Speaker 1: they're able to pull off another pretty good attempt at
23:45
Speaker 1: a integrated story that has all these individual elements that's
23:51
Speaker 1: still tie back in together. Yeah. Yeah, I do look
23:54
Speaker 1: forward to it, and I think they will because they've
23:56
Speaker 1: talked about having you know, very female v Marvel movies upcoming,
24:02
Speaker 1: which would lend to miss Marvel She Hulk, Echo and
24:06
Speaker 1: the like. Um. I do have one other Disney thing
24:09
Speaker 1: on my list, and this one I don't think we'll
24:10
Speaker 1: be on yours, which is chip and Dale Rescue Rangers,
24:14
Speaker 1: where Eddie Sandberg does one of the voices. No, not
24:18
Speaker 1: not on my list. I just I like, I'm not
24:22
Speaker 1: looking forward to another Chipmunks movie per se, but I
24:25
Speaker 1: think that, Um, I think that the voice casting is
24:29
Speaker 1: spot on to be really funny. I just I think
24:32
Speaker 1: it's going to be very funny, and I we can
24:34
Speaker 1: all use a little more laughter very well. Maybe. Like
24:36
Speaker 1: I remember that I was not at all interested in
24:39
Speaker 1: seeing the Goofy movie when it first came out, and
24:42
Speaker 1: I didn't watch it until after it came to home video,
24:45
Speaker 1: and when I finally saw it, I thought, this is
24:48
Speaker 1: way way better, and I thought it would be one
24:53
Speaker 1: of my favorite Disney animated movies. Jonathan, Well, I mean,
24:56
Speaker 1: that's the thing, though, is that it came out at
24:58
Speaker 1: a time where Disney wasn't not going to know the
25:02
Speaker 1: park as far as like comedic animated films go. And
25:07
Speaker 1: so that's why, like I just didn't have any interest
25:09
Speaker 1: because it had have been a while since Disney had
25:11
Speaker 1: produced something that had the same kind of zany absurdity
25:16
Speaker 1: that the old school goofy cartoons had. I just didn't
25:19
Speaker 1: have any faith that it was going to be any good. So,
25:22
Speaker 1: you know, maybe I'll try The Rescue Rangers and see
25:24
Speaker 1: what I think about it, Like, if it catches on
25:27
Speaker 1: to that kind of level of humor, I gotta be fair.
25:30
Speaker 1: I mean, a lot of the quote unquote classic Disney cartoons,
25:33
Speaker 1: the more recent ones, they're not actually classics. They're just
25:35
Speaker 1: done in a sort of retro style. A lot of
25:39
Speaker 1: those I think are brilliant. So Disney kind of turned
25:42
Speaker 1: a corner as far as like humorous cartoons go. So
25:46
Speaker 1: maybe I'll check it out. Um, you know, there's a
25:50
Speaker 1: whole like Marvel's coming out with a ton of stuff
25:52
Speaker 1: next year. We've already talked about it. Star Wars is
25:55
Speaker 1: also coming out with a ton of stuff next year. Um,
25:59
Speaker 1: there's only one Star Wars project that's on my truly
26:05
Speaker 1: anticipated list for next year. Can you guess what it is?
26:11
Speaker 1: You got it in one Yeah, it didn't even make
26:13
Speaker 1: my list. Yeah. There's a lot of Star Wars stuff
26:15
Speaker 1: that I will watch and I will enjoy, but none
26:17
Speaker 1: of it made my list. Yeah. The other ones are
26:20
Speaker 1: being like Star Wars Obi Wan Kenobi, which you know,
26:23
Speaker 1: I put under my curious list, but none on my
26:26
Speaker 1: you know, have to watch and Star Wars and or
26:30
Speaker 1: is also on my curious list, but yeah, that's you know,
26:34
Speaker 1: the only one that made my my actual list was
26:37
Speaker 1: Book of Bafet. Yeah. Everything else on my list, I've
26:40
Speaker 1: got like two TV shows and three movies. None of
26:43
Speaker 1: them are Disney, none of them are Marvel, none of
26:45
Speaker 1: them are Star Wars. That's fantastic because for a while
26:49
Speaker 1: I was worried that that was going to be the
26:50
Speaker 1: only source of entertainment from this point forward. Yeah, so
26:54
Speaker 1: movie wise, and and we're running short on time, so
26:56
Speaker 1: I'm just going to run through these and then let
26:58
Speaker 1: you run through your remainder. Uh. I'm looking forward to
27:01
Speaker 1: Serrano de Bergerac Or it's just syran No the movie. Yeah, okay, well,
27:06
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're looking forward to it. Look, I know
27:08
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a musical. I know the song that
27:10
Speaker 1: they put into the trailers not particularly an ear earworm,
27:14
Speaker 1: but I like the story along the lines. I it
27:18
Speaker 1: may not be any good, but it's going to be
27:20
Speaker 1: so over the top that I have to watch it.
27:22
Speaker 1: Jurassic World dominion, okay, yeah, these are these are things
27:26
Speaker 1: and then the ones where it's like hurting Jonathan to hear. Yeah.
27:30
Speaker 1: Gamo del Toro's coming out with a Pinocchio musical, which
27:33
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be live action. They
27:35
Speaker 1: talk about using a lot of voice cast, and you
27:38
Speaker 1: know where I say, I like uplifting happy things a lot.
27:41
Speaker 1: I know this is going to be darker, but his
27:43
Speaker 1: take on it is really interesting. He kind of used
27:46
Speaker 1: Pinocchio and Frankenstein is the same story because they're both
27:49
Speaker 1: about creating life and um yeah, animating something, animating something. Yeah,
27:56
Speaker 1: I think you can see the parallels. I had never
27:59
Speaker 1: thought of it before, but yeah, absolutely yeah. And then
28:01
Speaker 1: the other two is just the reboot of the Fresh
28:03
Speaker 1: Prince of bel Air. That show I still love rewatching.
28:06
Speaker 1: Um it holds up pretty well. It was it was fun,
28:09
Speaker 1: it was good. Um. And then they're doing Netflix is
28:11
Speaker 1: doing a live Last Airbender. Uh show. I the movie.
28:18
Speaker 1: The live movie was not good, but I love the
28:21
Speaker 1: cartoon so much that I'm willing to give it another shot. Well,
28:25
Speaker 1: I'm shocked that Knives Out Too wasn't on your list. Yeah, no,
28:29
Speaker 1: I like I forgot about it, but I am looking
28:31
Speaker 1: forward to that. Uh MST three k is having another
28:34
Speaker 1: season come out next year. I didn't finish the last one.
28:39
Speaker 1: I need to, Okay, I will. I'll add that to
28:41
Speaker 1: my New Year's resolutions. Okay, and those would be the
28:44
Speaker 1: I think that rounds out my list. Oh and Scream.
28:46
Speaker 1: Scream is also on my most anticipated for next year,
28:49
Speaker 1: simply because I really want to see if they can
28:51
Speaker 1: recapture like it's such a different landscape. Horror has got
28:55
Speaker 1: us such a different feel right now than it did
28:57
Speaker 1: in the nineties when Scream started coming out, so I'm
29:00
Speaker 1: very curious to see how they are able to stay relevant.
29:06
Speaker 1: So that's that's on my list. But then let me
29:08
Speaker 1: go through my curious list really quick. Yes, please, so curious?
29:12
Speaker 1: Which are ones where I'm like, maybe I'll see it,
29:14
Speaker 1: maybe I won't, but I'm kind of wondering what the
29:16
Speaker 1: heck is going on? More a bious Okay here John
29:21
Speaker 1: Wick Chapter four Black Adam. Okay, Yes, I am curious
29:26
Speaker 1: about that. The Flash film. I you know what, I
29:30
Speaker 1: I think I'm more than curious. I think I actually
29:32
Speaker 1: want to watch that one. I mostly want to see
29:35
Speaker 1: that one to see Michael Keaton as Batman again. Uh, uncharted?
29:41
Speaker 1: Have you played the games? I have? Okay I haven't,
29:44
Speaker 1: but you know, Tom Holland is adorable and everything. So yeah,
29:48
Speaker 1: light Year, the the film that's supposed to be about
29:51
Speaker 1: the movie character who inspires the buzz Lightyear cartoon character.
29:56
Speaker 1: I mean, Chris Evans is adorable and charming, so sure
29:59
Speaker 1: yea bat girl? Yes, yes, that I'm curious about that. Borderlands,
30:05
Speaker 1: I'm really curious about that. Like that feels like that's
30:08
Speaker 1: a potential train wreck kind of movie to me. Or
30:10
Speaker 1: it could be the next Jumunji, which you need to watch. Still, well,
30:15
Speaker 1: it could be the next Fifth Element for which I
30:18
Speaker 1: would be. I would be totally on board for that. Yes, yes, um,
30:22
Speaker 1: Fraggle Rock reboot. Is that actually happening yep on t
30:27
Speaker 1: or Apple TV, So I'm not going to get to
30:29
Speaker 1: see it, but I'll be curious about it. Uh. The
30:32
Speaker 1: night Court reboot, yes, yes, the Frasier The Frasier reboot, Well,
30:38
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a reboot. I think that's just
30:40
Speaker 1: a return. Okay, Yeah, if it's a return, I'm for it.
30:43
Speaker 1: If it's a reboot, I'm not. Moon Night another Marvel
30:47
Speaker 1: property that I'm curious about, and then I mentioned the
30:50
Speaker 1: two Star Wars ones Obi Wan Kenobe, and Or, so
30:53
Speaker 1: those are the ones that I'm curious about. Like Moonnight
30:55
Speaker 1: actually could be first of all, Oscar Is it's great,
30:57
Speaker 1: So yeah, Moon Night could be really really good. The
31:02
Speaker 1: trailer did not hook me the way some of the
31:05
Speaker 1: others have. It definitely feels more like a Netflix level
31:10
Speaker 1: Marvel hero show like Daredevil or Jessica Jones. So maybe
31:13
Speaker 1: this is their way of testing the water to bring
31:16
Speaker 1: back Charlie Cox is Daredevil because we've already heard Viven
31:18
Speaker 1: like you say that they aren't recasting that character, and
31:22
Speaker 1: I'm as of I think Spider Man came out today,
31:27
Speaker 1: and I have avoided spoilers and I will continue to
31:29
Speaker 1: do so until I see it today being Dems when
31:34
Speaker 1: we're recording this. So yeah, we're we're well ahead of
31:37
Speaker 1: schedule on this one. All right. Well, when we come back,
31:40
Speaker 1: we're going to do another mash up, this one inspired
31:44
Speaker 1: by some listener mail that we received. All right. So,
32:04
Speaker 1: as Jonathan said before the break, this mashup is thanks
32:08
Speaker 1: to a listener and her class. So we had a
32:14
Speaker 1: an algebra teacher who teaches middle school algebra right in
32:19
Speaker 1: and and say that they were discussing with their class
32:23
Speaker 1: about Harry Potter in Star Wars, and the class couldn't
32:26
Speaker 1: fathom what that would be like, and so Jonathan and
32:29
Speaker 1: I of course had to take a stab at it. Um.
32:32
Speaker 1: So thank you, miss Bacon. I suppose and your class
32:39
Speaker 1: and your advanced algebra class for uh this mashup suggestion.
32:43
Speaker 1: We hope you like it. Yes, And so Ariel, who
32:46
Speaker 1: would you like to go first? I'm gonna let you
32:48
Speaker 1: go first. Okay, this is called Harry Skywalker and the
32:53
Speaker 1: Chamber of Sith. Harry Skywalker has a problem. See his
32:58
Speaker 1: cousin Luke is always going on about power converters and
33:01
Speaker 1: how tattooing is so boring. Meanwhile, Harry has to live
33:06
Speaker 1: in a cupboard under the stairs, and that's particularly humiliating
33:09
Speaker 1: because the Lar's home is a single story house. But
33:12
Speaker 1: Harry does his best to stay out of trouble until
33:15
Speaker 1: one day a porg waddles up to the lars household.
33:19
Speaker 1: Now this is already weird because porg's are not native
33:22
Speaker 1: to tattooing, But to make it even weirder, this porg
33:26
Speaker 1: is carrying a letter and when Owen and Burrew read
33:29
Speaker 1: the letter, they are astounded, for it seems as though
33:31
Speaker 1: Harry has been accepted into the nerf Wartz School of
33:35
Speaker 1: Jedi and Wizardry. They turned to Harry, who shrugs but
33:39
Speaker 1: is secretly excited to go, and sure enough, more instructions follow.
33:43
Speaker 1: Harry is to journey to Moss Eisley's Spaceport to meet
33:46
Speaker 1: up with some fellow students at platform th x nine
33:51
Speaker 1: and three quarters. There he encounters a red headed wookie
33:54
Speaker 1: named Ron Baka and a young girl who is a
33:57
Speaker 1: bit of a know it all who goes by the
33:59
Speaker 1: name her Miny Solo, and they, like Harry, are going
34:02
Speaker 1: to be first years at nerf Warts, but their first
34:06
Speaker 1: challenge is a heck of a one. Finding platform th
34:10
Speaker 1: leven thirty nine and three quarters. They wander around a
34:13
Speaker 1: bit and then accidentally bump into Ponda Baba, a k a.
34:17
Speaker 1: The walrus Man, who immediately goes off on the kids,
34:20
Speaker 1: yelling something in an unintelligible but angry tone. The kids, frightened,
34:25
Speaker 1: all back up and trip over a pile of garbage
34:28
Speaker 1: and roll back onto a previously unseen platform. Yes, they
34:33
Speaker 1: have arrived successfully at th X eleven nine and three quarters.
34:38
Speaker 1: Having narrowly escaped certain doom, the kids rush off to
34:42
Speaker 1: board a spacecraft the nerf Warts express. They find an
34:46
Speaker 1: empty cabin to sit in as the ship takes off.
34:49
Speaker 1: Once the atmosphere, they hear the nerf Warts expresses engine's
34:53
Speaker 1: power up, and the next thing you know, they're in
34:56
Speaker 1: hyper space. The three talk a bit as they travel, well,
35:00
Speaker 1: Harry and her money talk, ron Bacca pretty much just
35:03
Speaker 1: makes weird dog noises. Anyway, They learn a bit more
35:07
Speaker 1: about each other and how excited they are to become Jedi,
35:10
Speaker 1: especially since the Jedi had been pretty much wiped out
35:12
Speaker 1: except for like a few dozen of them who show
35:15
Speaker 1: up whenever the plot needs them to. I mean seriously,
35:18
Speaker 1: like the original series made it clear that the Jedi
35:21
Speaker 1: had been wiped out, and like obi Wan was possibly
35:24
Speaker 1: the last one. But then the longer it goes anyway,
35:27
Speaker 1: I'm getting off base. Before they know it, the ship
35:31
Speaker 1: comes out of hyperspace and heads towards a small moon.
35:34
Speaker 1: The ship enters the moon's atmosphere and lands in the clearing.
35:37
Speaker 1: A good way is away from an old Jedi fortress.
35:41
Speaker 1: There it is, says her Miney Solo nef Woltz. The
35:45
Speaker 1: three make their way to the Jedi Academy along with
35:48
Speaker 1: their fellow classmates. There, they are greeted by the headmaster
35:51
Speaker 1: of the academy, Professor Dorek Door, an old Jedi master,
35:56
Speaker 1: who explains they will all be sorted into houses, but
36:00
Speaker 1: are only two houses, Jedi and Sith, and the Sith
36:03
Speaker 1: get booted into space. Fortunately, all three of our kids
36:07
Speaker 1: get sorted into Jedi and there's like hardly any child
36:11
Speaker 1: death at all, which really sets this apart from Star
36:14
Speaker 1: Wars Episode three, because there's a lot of child death
36:17
Speaker 1: in that episode, and those are the ones that were
36:19
Speaker 1: made for kids. The kids get acclimated going to their classes.
36:25
Speaker 1: There's mouf milking, since everyone knows Jedi love a tall
36:28
Speaker 1: glass of mouf milk. They also have rock lifting one
36:32
Speaker 1: oh one, which is a tad boring, and of course
36:36
Speaker 1: there's defense against the dark Side. Harry is at best
36:41
Speaker 1: mediocre in most of his classes. Her mind, he consistently
36:44
Speaker 1: proves herself to be far more capable, and honestly, this
36:48
Speaker 1: story should really be about her more than Harry, because
36:51
Speaker 1: Harry just has the last named Skywalker, so it has
36:55
Speaker 1: to be about him some chosen one nonsense, which honestly
36:59
Speaker 1: gets to be a pretty lazy thing for writers to
37:01
Speaker 1: depend upon. But what as Anyway, the school year slowly
37:05
Speaker 1: progresses and Harry gets used to stuff like the fact
37:07
Speaker 1: that things are always floating around at the Jedi Academy
37:10
Speaker 1: because students are practicing their force powers all the time.
37:13
Speaker 1: The one class Harry really gets excited for is lightsaber construction.
37:18
Speaker 1: He and his fellow students are guided to a big
37:20
Speaker 1: room full of different crystals, and the professor's explained that
37:23
Speaker 1: each Jedi will feel a call to a specific crystal
37:26
Speaker 1: which will serve as the heart of their respective lightsaber. Hermione,
37:30
Speaker 1: he finds a green one. Ron Baka gets a blue one.
37:34
Speaker 1: As for Harry, he finds a pale crystal, so pale
37:38
Speaker 1: that it almost seems as if there is no color
37:40
Speaker 1: there at all. It might be the slightest bit blue,
37:44
Speaker 1: or perhaps a very very pale green, but it could
37:48
Speaker 1: just as easily be clear. This is the crystal that
37:52
Speaker 1: calls to him. How interesting, says Professor Doric Door. That's
37:57
Speaker 1: the same kind of crystal that Darth Voldemort uses in
37:59
Speaker 1: his lightsaber, and he's the most evil, nasty, wicked sith
38:03
Speaker 1: Lord who has ever existed. Isn't that interesting Harry? And
38:07
Speaker 1: Harry is like, oh, crap, I must have really mifted
38:09
Speaker 1: this time. But he's just kind of quiet and nods,
38:12
Speaker 1: and honestly, I feel like laying this kind of heavy
38:13
Speaker 1: stuff on a kid is just playing abuse, but whatever.
38:18
Speaker 1: As the year goes on, the kids here about a
38:20
Speaker 1: distant struggle between the Galactic Empire and a group of rebels.
38:24
Speaker 1: Harry becomes the center of attention when the kids learned
38:26
Speaker 1: that one rebel known as Skywalker, has done the unthinkable
38:30
Speaker 1: and totes exploded the Death Star, a weapon of unimaginable power.
38:35
Speaker 1: Harry has to have frequently answered that yes, he is
38:38
Speaker 1: related to Luke, and no he can't offer introductions. Towards
38:43
Speaker 1: the end of the school year, a crisis emerges because
38:46
Speaker 1: we have to have something happened in this story or else.
38:49
Speaker 1: It's not really a story, isn't It's just an explanation
38:53
Speaker 1: about how a wizard school works, and that would just
38:55
Speaker 1: be lame. So let's just cram in a story and
38:58
Speaker 1: like the last quarter of our book, right, because that's fine.
39:03
Speaker 1: I mean, it can turn you into a multi billionaire apparently.
39:06
Speaker 1: So anyway, it's revealed that one of the professors, let's
39:09
Speaker 1: call him Darth Quarrel, has been compromised by the Synth
39:12
Speaker 1: and has become evil, and he makes an attempt on
39:15
Speaker 1: Harry's life, but Professor Doric Door stops it from going
39:17
Speaker 1: too far, and he turns to Harry and he says,
39:20
Speaker 1: all right, so here's the deal. There's a prophecy that
39:23
Speaker 1: we're not really going to talk about for a few
39:25
Speaker 1: more years. And here's the shocker. It says, either you
39:28
Speaker 1: or Darth mcvoldemort will have to die at some point.
39:31
Speaker 1: And I know that's not much of a shocking revelation
39:33
Speaker 1: because it's pretty clear that's where we're headed, even from
39:36
Speaker 1: the very beginning of the story. But there you have it.
39:38
Speaker 1: And then every year something like this is going to happen,
39:41
Speaker 1: where your life is going to be put in danger,
39:44
Speaker 1: sometimes because you have done something really stupid. Also, you'll
39:48
Speaker 1: have to learn the lesson that it's best to speak
39:51
Speaker 1: up early when something bad is happening, because that will
39:54
Speaker 1: help avoid like of all the conflict that you would
39:58
Speaker 1: otherwise experience. Except you're not gonna learn that, and you're
40:01
Speaker 1: gonna have to go through it every single year because
40:04
Speaker 1: you're gonna act like you've forgotten everything and you're gonna
40:06
Speaker 1: keep things to yourself like somehow that's the better option. Also,
40:10
Speaker 1: I'm gonna die later on, but don't tell anyone because
40:12
Speaker 1: it would be a huge spoiler. And with that, Harry
40:15
Speaker 1: and his friends board the nerf Wards Express to go
40:18
Speaker 1: back home, having begun their journey towards becoming Jedi. The end.
40:25
Speaker 1: That's short, Jonathan. Jonathan told me that his mashup was
40:28
Speaker 1: short this week. That's not short. That's about half the
40:31
Speaker 1: length of my last one. Fair enough, Well, I I
40:35
Speaker 1: think that was great. We have some common through lines
40:38
Speaker 1: because apparently there is a specific way that Harry Potter
40:41
Speaker 1: and Star Wars should be mashed up. Um, but they
40:45
Speaker 1: are not. Our mashups are not exactly the same. So
40:49
Speaker 1: this is Harry Potter and the Curse Jedi Lord Darth Sidious.
40:54
Speaker 1: That's Emperor Palpatine for those who don't know. Was like
40:57
Speaker 1: a cover. It was like a cock groach that plagued
41:00
Speaker 1: the galaxy. He would do anything to remain in power,
41:04
Speaker 1: including the dispatching of anyone in everyone in his way.
41:07
Speaker 1: He was so well insidious that people feared even speaking
41:12
Speaker 1: his name. One of the most ibolical things he ever
41:15
Speaker 1: did was because he heard a prophecy that promised to
41:17
Speaker 1: unseat him from his rule. The prophecy stated that there
41:20
Speaker 1: would be a Jedi young ling who would, with his friends,
41:23
Speaker 1: lead a bunch of Jedi young ling to kill Lord
41:25
Speaker 1: Sidius and free the galaxy from his tyranny. It was
41:28
Speaker 1: called the prophecy of the Griffin. For some reason, Lord
41:32
Speaker 1: Sidius thought if he killed all the Jedi, then the
41:34
Speaker 1: prophecy could never come true, so he sent his Sith
41:37
Speaker 1: Lackeys to exterminate Jedi far and wide, including to Coruscant
41:41
Speaker 1: to dispatch of the Jedi younglings there He thought he
41:43
Speaker 1: got them all and settled back into his routine of tyranny.
41:47
Speaker 1: What he didn't know was that, due to a warning
41:49
Speaker 1: sent by Obi Wan and Yoda, there was one Jedi
41:51
Speaker 1: that was saved, a baby boy named Terry who was
41:54
Speaker 1: sent to Earth by his parents. Well, they sent him
41:57
Speaker 1: off in an escape pod to who knows where, and
42:00
Speaker 1: they perished in the process, but Harry got away safely.
42:04
Speaker 1: So Harry ended up on Earth. His escape pod crash
42:08
Speaker 1: and he was taken in by some begrudging Samaritans. The
42:11
Speaker 1: only reminder Harry had of his origin was a small
42:13
Speaker 1: jagged scar on his forehead left by the broken windshield
42:16
Speaker 1: of the spacecraft as it crashed. But Harry's life on
42:19
Speaker 1: Earth was far from usual because of his innate Jedi powers,
42:22
Speaker 1: which seemed unusual to the family that took Harry in.
42:25
Speaker 1: He was sent to his school for Wizards, which yeah,
42:29
Speaker 1: also kind of bizarre, but it existed, so that's where
42:33
Speaker 1: he was sent, and he was immediately accepted into the
42:35
Speaker 1: Griffin Door club for exceptional students. Harry, never knowing his
42:39
Speaker 1: parents or origins, seemed to fit it in right away,
42:42
Speaker 1: and he grew strong and smart and made a few
42:45
Speaker 1: close friends along the way, including one Ron and one Hermione,
42:49
Speaker 1: who were his closest friends. Then one day, Lord city
42:53
Speaker 1: Has felt a disturbance in the force. He followed it
42:56
Speaker 1: and found the cause Harry. Harry had grown too strong
42:59
Speaker 1: and Lord Citys couldn't ignore him anymore. Sidius located Harry
43:03
Speaker 1: on Earth and sent a squad to retrieve him. When
43:06
Speaker 1: the squad arrived, Harry was right in the middle of
43:08
Speaker 1: his favorite class, Advanced Magic Algebra one. Well, technically it
43:12
Speaker 1: was her Money's favorite class, but the teacher, Professor Debbie,
43:15
Speaker 1: was from the division of the school known as Hufflepuff,
43:18
Speaker 1: so her class was always fun, even if it was challenging.
43:22
Speaker 1: When Lord Sidius his team landed and busted into the classroom,
43:24
Speaker 1: all of the students teamed up and fought back against
43:26
Speaker 1: the invading stormtroopers, wands in handing, they quickly won the battle.
43:31
Speaker 1: Harry knew, though, deep inside, as if a force was
43:34
Speaker 1: compelling him, that he had to board the Imperial Troop
43:36
Speaker 1: Transport to find who sent this mob after him. He
43:39
Speaker 1: boarded the transport along with her Money and Ron, who
43:41
Speaker 1: wouldn't let him go alone, and set off for the stars.
43:44
Speaker 1: As soon as the transports stores closed, it took off
43:47
Speaker 1: back to where it came from. It must have had
43:49
Speaker 1: a return sequence built in or something. As soon as
43:52
Speaker 1: the transport landed and the doors opened, Harry and his
43:54
Speaker 1: friends found themselves face to face with Lord Sidius. Harry
43:57
Speaker 1: steeled himself and pointed his wand at Lord city Us,
44:00
Speaker 1: and then something crazy happened. His wand admitted a blue
44:03
Speaker 1: laser from its tip, just like the weapon Lord Sidius
44:06
Speaker 1: was holding. Upon seeing this, Lord Sidius attacked. It was
44:09
Speaker 1: a nail biting, teeth clenching battle, saber against saber, force
44:12
Speaker 1: against force. But this new kind of Jedi was not
44:15
Speaker 1: something Lord Sidius was prepared or trained for, and in
44:17
Speaker 1: the end he was defeated by Harry. Her money and
44:19
Speaker 1: Ron her money shrunk Lord Sidius down and stuck him
44:22
Speaker 1: into a jar and put him in her pocket to
44:24
Speaker 1: bring to Askaban for locking away. She told the boys
44:27
Speaker 1: to board the transport with her and return back to Earth, because, thankfully,
44:30
Speaker 1: due to the Professor's algebra class, she was able to
44:33
Speaker 1: triangulate her way home. But Harry Potter said he knew
44:36
Speaker 1: he was needed in this new galaxy. Harry was sad
44:39
Speaker 1: to say goodbye but excited for the new adventures he
44:41
Speaker 1: would face in this galaxy far far away. And as
44:44
Speaker 1: he waved farewell to Ron and her money, Harry knew
44:47
Speaker 1: that with magic and Jedi powers, this wouldn't be the
44:50
Speaker 1: last time he would see his friends the end. But
44:54
Speaker 1: it totally was it. You know, it may not have
44:58
Speaker 1: been because I'm sure p User Debbi's algebra class is
45:01
Speaker 1: so awesome that he had to go back and visit them. Uh.
45:08
Speaker 1: I think, uh, I think we both did the respective
45:12
Speaker 1: properties proud um yours had. Yours had slightly less meta
45:17
Speaker 1: criticism about them than minded but you know, a little
45:21
Speaker 1: a little bit more of the sad things from from
45:25
Speaker 1: Star Wars. Yes, yes, well, I I think that that
45:30
Speaker 1: was a great mash up to end one with. We
45:35
Speaker 1: look forward to doing a lot more of these in
45:38
Speaker 1: two uh and in fact, we welcome you, our beloved listeners,
45:44
Speaker 1: to pitch us ideas for mash ups in the future.
45:47
Speaker 1: Keep in mind, the more different the properties, the more
45:52
Speaker 1: easily ideas come to mash them up. Otherwise you're just like, well,
45:56
Speaker 1: this is just a blank episode, you know, or whatever.
45:59
Speaker 1: Like I've done a couple where I'm like, oh my gosh,
46:03
Speaker 1: all I've done is written a an episode of Buffy
46:05
Speaker 1: for example, like I didn't really do much of a mashup,
46:08
Speaker 1: and I want to avoid doing that. But but also
46:11
Speaker 1: if you feel for you know, want to suggest things
46:14
Speaker 1: that we want to talk about, things like maybe you
46:17
Speaker 1: want us to do an update on how we feel about,
46:20
Speaker 1: say the d C Film universe, because that has obviously
46:25
Speaker 1: transformed quite a bit since we first started recording. Um,
46:29
Speaker 1: stuff like that, you know, let us know, And one
46:31
Speaker 1: way to do that is to send us an email.
