Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Welcome to the Large nor John Collider Podcast,
0:13
Speaker 1: the podcast that's all about the geeky things happening in
0:15
Speaker 1: the world around us and how very excited we are
0:18
Speaker 1: about them. I'm Ariel Caston, and with me, as always
0:21
Speaker 1: is the superheroist Jonathan Strickland.
0:25
Speaker 2: Gosh, it disturbs me to see you, guest On.
0:30
Speaker 1: I mean it would disturb anyone to see somebody eat
0:33
Speaker 1: twelve dozen eggs. Yeah, three dozen eggs. I don't know.
0:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't remember exactly how many, doesn't but it's
0:40
Speaker 2: way too many. That guy's cholesterol is off the charts.
0:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's probably by choice, right, like
0:49
Speaker 1: off the.
0:49
Speaker 2: Charts shots like who takes shots like Gaston has blood
0:52
Speaker 2: clots like gust On.
0:55
Speaker 1: Did you just come up with that?
0:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, brilliant, But I was. I was earlier today as
1:01
Speaker 2: I was attending to my ablutions, I was listening to
1:05
Speaker 2: a Broadway you know, internet station, and the opening song
1:12
Speaker 2: of Beating and the Beast came on. Also makes me
1:17
Speaker 2: think of the joke, the comic strip joke of you
1:21
Speaker 2: know bell singing, there goes the baker with his tray,
1:23
Speaker 2: like always that same old bread and roles to sell
1:27
Speaker 2: like that little bit, and then the baker has just
1:29
Speaker 2: got a tear in his sign and says a very
1:30
Speaker 2: rude thing. Yeah, but that's now what I shout out
1:35
Speaker 2: in the shower as I'm listening to the It's just me,
1:38
Speaker 2: No one else is gonna hear.
1:40
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I've seen that before, where it's like Bell's
1:43
Speaker 1: song is actually incredibly like demeaning to the rest of
1:47
Speaker 1: the town.
1:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very patronizing. Yeah, which I mean, you know, yes,
1:53
Speaker 2: we can always we can always take that kind of
1:55
Speaker 2: cynical eye to media, and I often do. But I
1:58
Speaker 2: also understand, like that wasn't the intent. Understanding intent is
2:04
Speaker 2: really important. I actually get into a big argument with
2:10
Speaker 2: my partner about this with something that I'll mention in
2:14
Speaker 2: just a second, because that brings me actually to this
2:17
Speaker 2: question of the week, which I don't know if you
2:19
Speaker 2: even had a chance to see, but it.
2:20
Speaker 1: Was I did.
2:21
Speaker 2: Do you have a favorite mad character in fiction? Keeping
2:26
Speaker 2: in mind that fiction specifically, I was specifically thinking movies
2:30
Speaker 2: and TV, but really fiction in general tends to portray
2:33
Speaker 2: mental illness, especially the older you go in a very
2:39
Speaker 2: like unthoughtful way. But you can still have a favorite
2:44
Speaker 2: character I would argue.
2:46
Speaker 1: So I have watched many movies where I've been like,
2:50
Speaker 1: oh man, they handled that really well and it was thoughtful,
2:53
Speaker 1: and they didn't They didn't vilifying mental illness or struggles
3:01
Speaker 1: at all. Thunderbolts is a great example of that. I
3:04
Speaker 1: thought the movie did a very good job of describing it.
3:06
Speaker 1: But that's not a character. My favorite mad character is
3:09
Speaker 1: actually a person from history that's just been portray I
3:13
Speaker 1: think I talked about this the other week. Yeah. Yeah,
3:17
Speaker 1: both in the Madness of King George with Helen Mirren
3:20
Speaker 1: and then again in Queen Charlotte. I think both times
3:25
Speaker 1: portrayed a really moving a story of what it was
3:31
Speaker 1: like to interact with and live with and support King
3:36
Speaker 1: George the Third through his mental illness.
3:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, much a much more thoughtful approach than the way
3:41
Speaker 2: Blackadder did it, where they just had him say Penguin
3:44
Speaker 2: at the end of sentences and such. Yeah.
3:46
Speaker 1: I mean that that can be cute and funny too,
3:48
Speaker 1: But now I haven't watched The Madness of King George
3:51
Speaker 1: in a while. I do think that Queen Charlotte probably
3:55
Speaker 1: handles it in a more loving way, but didn't record.
4:01
Speaker 2: Yeah. My recollection is the madness of King George was
4:05
Speaker 2: pretty respectful, like, I don't remember it being exploitative. My
4:11
Speaker 2: answer is Willie Wonka, who I think comes across as
4:16
Speaker 2: a bit mad. He's certainly eccentric. So it all depends
4:21
Speaker 2: upon what you're defining as madness. And that actually brings
4:24
Speaker 2: me back round to the thing my wife and I
4:26
Speaker 2: have a disagreement on, which is she maintains that Grandpa
4:30
Speaker 2: Joe is the greatest villain in cinematic history because he's
4:35
Speaker 2: laying and he's not doing anything to help the family.
4:38
Speaker 2: He's laying in bed. He encourages Charlie to, you know,
4:44
Speaker 2: dream big, even though the likelihood of Charlie actually winning
4:48
Speaker 2: is so low, and then as soon as Charlie wins,
4:50
Speaker 2: he springs out of bed and starts dancing around, and
4:53
Speaker 2: he's like, I can't I get to go to the factory.
4:56
Speaker 2: And I understand all those points, And I thought, you know,
5:00
Speaker 2: if you're taking this for like it's face value and
5:03
Speaker 2: you're ignoring the fairy tale element, absolutely, Grandpa Joe comes
5:07
Speaker 2: across as the worst, but it's a fairy tale. It's
5:10
Speaker 2: it's the story of like Grandpa Joe up to that
5:13
Speaker 2: point would not have been able to get out of bed.
5:16
Speaker 2: It's the magic of getting the chance of winning the
5:20
Speaker 2: ticket that gives Joe the ability to get out of bed.
5:25
Speaker 2: And so I don't I don't see Grandpa Joe as
5:27
Speaker 2: a villain. But mike' Stakloska of Red Letter Media and
5:31
Speaker 2: my wife both maintain he is a monster.
5:35
Speaker 1: I mean, but that that goes back to mental illness
5:39
Speaker 1: a bit, because depression can do a hell of a
5:41
Speaker 1: lot on your energy levels and physical wellness.
5:45
Speaker 2: I just don't think Rode Doll was thinking of it
5:47
Speaker 2: that way. I think I think it was much more simplified.
5:50
Speaker 2: I think it literally was you have these four grandparents
5:54
Speaker 2: who are, you know, very old and frail and incapable
6:01
Speaker 2: of getting out of bed, and then this miraculous thing happens.
6:04
Speaker 2: And the important thing is it is miraculous, and that's
6:07
Speaker 2: what allows grandpajo. None of that matters about the madness part.
6:12
Speaker 2: Willie Wank is a crazy person and I love him,
6:15
Speaker 2: specifically in the Gene Wilder version. I almost put, by
6:18
Speaker 2: the way Young Frankenstein, Doctor Frankenstein another Gene Wilder part,
6:24
Speaker 2: because Gene Wilder just plays crazy so well. He can
6:28
Speaker 2: he can play like unhinged better than just about anybody.
6:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's still there's still a through line of like
6:35
Speaker 1: genuineness in humanity in there. That's really that's really impressive.
6:42
Speaker 1: You know, I have never thought of Grandpa Joe as
6:45
Speaker 1: a villain. I guess I could see it, but I
6:48
Speaker 1: will fight tooth and nail that. Benny is a good
6:51
Speaker 1: upstanding guy in Rent.
6:53
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well apart from what he does with Mimi
6:56
Speaker 2: if you can ignore the Memi part, but like starting
6:59
Speaker 2: off before the whole me thing. Yeah, I'm like, no,
7:02
Speaker 2: I'm on teen penny, Like, hey, your pay your gosh
7:05
Speaker 2: darn Rent y'all, especially those of you who have loving
7:10
Speaker 2: parents and you're just ignoring them. You are the worst.
7:15
Speaker 1: Like I get I get it. Gig economy is real hard.
7:18
Speaker 1: But I've I've and I've struggled to pay my bills,
7:23
Speaker 1: but I've paid my bills.
7:25
Speaker 2: I think I think Rent is one of those shows
7:27
Speaker 2: where the older you get, the more angry you you
7:30
Speaker 2: get with with the main characters. Uh, you know, maybe
7:35
Speaker 2: like and I never got into it when it first
7:37
Speaker 2: came out, Like I was not a Rent kid, Like
7:40
Speaker 2: I was probably teens when it came out. I'm guessing teenager,
7:46
Speaker 2: maybe getting close to twenty. Uh, but I just never
7:50
Speaker 2: like I was. That wasn't my era. I was. I
7:52
Speaker 2: was the previous eras like Lames and Phantom and Miss Sigone,
7:59
Speaker 2: which I also recognize as being incredibly problematic, and other
8:04
Speaker 2: shows of that era. I have never watched it, But
8:08
Speaker 2: if I go back and listen to the music, now,
8:10
Speaker 2: I'm like, yowza, I see, like there's a part. There's
8:15
Speaker 2: a part where the the white male American protagonist is
8:19
Speaker 2: singing to the young Asian female protagonist about on the
8:25
Speaker 2: other side of the earth, there's a place where life
8:27
Speaker 2: still has worth. And I'm like, oh, that's so white Savior.
8:32
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Yeah it's not great.
8:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's rough. Anyway, we have rambled well beyond
8:40
Speaker 2: the parameters of the question. Let us move on to
8:43
Speaker 2: talk about what we've watched since last week. It's only
8:46
Speaker 2: a couple of things for me. Yes, well, I finished
8:50
Speaker 2: a Night of the Seven Kingdoms. I finally watched the
8:52
Speaker 2: final episode. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. Yeah, I
8:57
Speaker 2: think I liked it more than I I don't think
9:02
Speaker 2: it's a perfect series. I think it's it's definitely much
9:05
Speaker 2: more palatable to me than Game of Thrones was. But
9:11
Speaker 2: then I say that as someone who read the books
9:13
Speaker 2: but only watched the very first episode of Game of Thrones.
9:15
Speaker 2: I've never watched beyond the first episode because the books
9:19
Speaker 2: got to a point where I was questioning why I
9:21
Speaker 2: was reading them, and then the series, once it got
9:23
Speaker 2: past where the books were, made me convince that it
9:26
Speaker 2: just wasn't for me. But I liked it more than
9:30
Speaker 2: I didn't, and then I watched only I shouldn't even
9:33
Speaker 2: put this on here because I haven't watched a full
9:35
Speaker 2: episode yet. I've only watched the very beginning of the
9:38
Speaker 2: first episode of The Verbs, and that much no.
9:41
Speaker 1: No.
9:42
Speaker 2: I liked it, but I had work to do, like
9:44
Speaker 2: I couldn't. I started it up during my lunch break,
9:47
Speaker 2: but I got interrupted in my lunch break, and by
9:49
Speaker 2: the time I could have started it up again, it
9:51
Speaker 2: was tough for me to not have lunch break, so
9:55
Speaker 2: I haven't been able to watch more of it. I
9:57
Speaker 2: liked the beginning of it. I mean, Keithy Palmer is
9:59
Speaker 2: so charismatic. I like her a lot. I can see
10:03
Speaker 2: why Sean Evans had such a big crush on her,
10:07
Speaker 2: for sure, For sure.
10:10
Speaker 1: I have not watched much of anything. I have mainly Shrinking.
10:16
Speaker 1: Season three of Shrinking, I'm in the middle of oh
10:19
Speaker 1: for real this time, Yeah, for real real instead of
10:24
Speaker 1: just accidentally starting Yeah. And it's fun because there are
10:29
Speaker 1: some fun cameos in it, Like the theme of this
10:32
Speaker 1: week for me has been ooh, drop Out comedian cameo.
10:35
Speaker 1: So Lisa Gilroy was a cameo in Shrinking in season three.
10:41
Speaker 1: She did a great job. She's been in a lot
10:43
Speaker 1: of stuff. She was also in Twisted Metal. She's also
10:45
Speaker 1: in We talked about this.
10:46
Speaker 2: It's so funny because you mentioned she was in Twisted
10:48
Speaker 2: Metal and I'm like, who the heck did she play?
10:50
Speaker 2: And I looked it up. I was like, oh my god,
10:52
Speaker 2: I never recognized her. I watched that full season.
10:55
Speaker 1: Well, she's heedious and list World is a very pretty person,
11:01
Speaker 1: so she is recognizable. In season three of Shrinking, I
11:06
Speaker 1: caught up on The Pit. I might have mentioned this
11:09
Speaker 1: last week because I don't remember when I watched the episode,
11:11
Speaker 1: but Raphael Chestang, also from Dropout, was a cameo on
11:17
Speaker 1: not this week's episode of The Pit, because I haven't
11:19
Speaker 1: watched that yet, but last week's episode of the Pit.
11:23
Speaker 2: Did you watch the Rookie with all the other dropout cameos?
11:26
Speaker 1: I didn't because I don't currently have Hulu.
11:29
Speaker 2: I also haven't watched it.
11:32
Speaker 1: You know, I I will at some point. I was
11:36
Speaker 1: kind of hoping it would pop up on drop out TV,
11:39
Speaker 1: but no, let's see what else?
11:43
Speaker 2: What else?
11:44
Speaker 1: What else? What else? What else?
11:45
Speaker 2: Uh?
11:47
Speaker 1: I watched Scream four.
11:50
Speaker 2: Because that last week though, I.
11:52
Speaker 1: Think I mentioned to you this weekend.
11:54
Speaker 2: Oh you did, you did? Yes, you mentioned it directly
11:57
Speaker 2: to me because I was like, I still don't know
11:59
Speaker 2: if I've seen it or not. I read the synopsis
12:01
Speaker 2: and I'm still not sure if I've actually watched that
12:03
Speaker 2: movie or not.
12:04
Speaker 1: So uh. My my husband watched it when it came out,
12:07
Speaker 1: but it's been so long he barely remembered anything. Once
12:10
Speaker 1: we started watching, he remembered, you know, another another movie
12:13
Speaker 1: with a lot of fun cameos. It was fine. It
12:17
Speaker 1: honestly was like there was definitely I felt like the
12:22
Speaker 1: Gore int was a little bit more graphic, but it
12:25
Speaker 1: wasn't much. It was mainly blood and jump scares and
12:27
Speaker 1: stuff like that, which was better than I was anticipating, because,
12:30
Speaker 1: you know, the more modern day we get the worst
12:33
Speaker 1: horror movies kind of.
12:34
Speaker 2: I don't know that that first screen movie, the Garage
12:37
Speaker 2: Door death still bothers me.
12:40
Speaker 1: There there was something similar in four, Like so I
12:44
Speaker 1: actually looked up the worst deaths in Scream four before
12:49
Speaker 1: watching it. Yeah, and I was like, I can tell
12:52
Speaker 1: this is coming. Let me look away and just listen
12:54
Speaker 1: to the spit. La la la, la, la la la.
12:56
Speaker 1: The garage Door was not as bad in this. I
12:59
Speaker 1: will say head and head and Tara, I felt, was
13:01
Speaker 1: like the best part of the movie. She did a
13:04
Speaker 1: phenomenal job in her character of Kirby. We're doing it
13:09
Speaker 1: because my husband and I I he introduced me to
13:12
Speaker 1: Scream several years back. I had never watched it because,
13:14
Speaker 1: you know, went in a horror girly and it took
13:17
Speaker 1: me two tries. The first try we couldn't get through.
13:19
Speaker 1: Drew Barrymore, I was like, nope, I'm out. On the
13:22
Speaker 1: second try, I made it through, and then we're like,
13:25
Speaker 1: each Halloween, we're gonna watch a Scream movie. But then
13:27
Speaker 1: we kind of went off into like hocus Pocus and
13:29
Speaker 1: a couple other things, and then like this past year,
13:32
Speaker 1: we weren't able to watch it. Scary movie, and then
13:37
Speaker 1: but with Scream seven coming out and wanting to avoid
13:40
Speaker 1: too many spoilers on that, we're like, well, let's bump
13:42
Speaker 1: through so we can watch it sooner rather than later,
13:45
Speaker 1: because it does feel like a culmination of everything that's
13:49
Speaker 1: come before.
13:49
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I mean now Campbell being back obviously that
13:53
Speaker 2: like is which is part of it.
13:55
Speaker 1: Which a lot of it seems like a good number
13:57
Speaker 1: of people are not happy with, Like it's it's the
14:00
Speaker 1: movies getting some pretty divisive reviews.
14:04
Speaker 2: I've managed to not follow that, so I wasn't even
14:09
Speaker 2: aware that it was getting like mixed reviews or anything.
14:12
Speaker 1: But I think just critically, they're like they worked so
14:15
Speaker 1: hard to be able to move forward without Nev Campbell
14:17
Speaker 1: and now she's back.
14:18
Speaker 2: Like well, I mean I can't blame that on Nev though,
14:23
Speaker 2: Like yeah, she was like she was like they wanted
14:26
Speaker 2: me back, but they weren't gonna pay me the right
14:28
Speaker 2: amount of money, and like you gotta know your worth.
14:30
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, you know, like we only have so
14:34
Speaker 2: much time, and so you have to start prioritizing. Like
14:38
Speaker 2: there was a time where I had to do that,
14:41
Speaker 2: where I had so many projects coming in that I
14:44
Speaker 2: would have to turn stuff down and be like, either
14:47
Speaker 2: I need to really believe in it, or you need
14:48
Speaker 2: to pay me a whole lot of money for me
14:51
Speaker 2: to be able to say yes to this. And so
14:54
Speaker 2: I started turning down some stuff, some of which was,
14:57
Speaker 2: I mean nothing, nothing even remotely close to Hollywood money. Okay,
15:01
Speaker 2: let's just dismiss that, but you know, significant money for me,
15:06
Speaker 2: so like, I totally get it. Like there were times
15:08
Speaker 2: where I'm just like, yeah, it's just not enough for
15:10
Speaker 2: me to do what you're asking me to do.
15:12
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I've had to turn down non paying
15:14
Speaker 1: gigs for things that I've wanted to do, or gigs
15:18
Speaker 1: that like, I'm just happy to perform and entertain people,
15:23
Speaker 1: but sometimes it takes up so much time that it
15:27
Speaker 1: ruins the career side of things.
15:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, or you're just miserable because like, yeah, you're I mean,
15:34
Speaker 2: I think back to when I was in, I was cast,
15:37
Speaker 2: I was not in because I dropped out. It's one
15:39
Speaker 2: of the only times I've ever dropped out of a project.
15:41
Speaker 2: I was cast in repertory performances of Hamlet and Rosencrants
15:46
Speaker 2: and Gillenstern Are Dead, two of my favorite plays of
15:49
Speaker 2: all time. But I was cast along with another gentleman
15:54
Speaker 2: to each play the English Ambassador, a part that traditionally
15:57
Speaker 2: is played by a single person and only has like
16:01
Speaker 2: three lines, and they divided it up so that we
16:05
Speaker 2: each had half, so I had one and a half lines,
16:07
Speaker 2: and I had to go to so many rehearsals and
16:09
Speaker 2: I was like, this is not worth my time. I
16:12
Speaker 2: am and if I drop out, they're fine, They're back
16:15
Speaker 2: to a single English Ambassador, which is the number that
16:17
Speaker 2: it's supposed to be. Yeah.
16:20
Speaker 1: I mean the time that my role got split, I
16:22
Speaker 1: understood it, which was when I was in Jesus Christ
16:25
Speaker 1: Superstar because I was Simon the zell It.
16:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was weird having two Simons running around.
16:31
Speaker 2: It was yeah, that's what they did. Yeah. Did you
16:34
Speaker 2: go to that? Yeah, okay, I was there. I remember.
16:38
Speaker 2: I remember thinking that the singing was great and the
16:40
Speaker 2: staging needed work. Yeah, only because it was like everyone's
16:45
Speaker 2: on stage left, now everyone's on stage right. Yeah.
16:49
Speaker 1: Yeah. But our Judas was an amazing singer. I really
16:56
Speaker 1: did like what that theater did though, was they cast
16:58
Speaker 1: understudies and if you are an understudy, get a day
17:00
Speaker 1: to perform. And it also kept it fresh for the
17:02
Speaker 1: rest of the actors, because like, then you're genuinely reacting
17:06
Speaker 1: to somebody, You're not just going I mean, you should
17:09
Speaker 1: do that anyhow, but it's a really easy trap to
17:11
Speaker 1: just to be like okay, and now I'm sad and
17:13
Speaker 1: now I'm.
17:13
Speaker 2: You know, it's like I saw, We're going so many tangents.
17:18
Speaker 2: But I saw this video. It was very It was
17:20
Speaker 2: really entertaining where they took the script for a play.
17:26
Speaker 2: It was infamous play that closed the same day it
17:29
Speaker 2: opened on Broadway. It was a comedy murder mystery. And
17:35
Speaker 2: the way they did it was they got a bunch
17:37
Speaker 2: of improvisers to perform the play, but each improviser was
17:40
Speaker 2: given sides that only had their lines in it, so
17:43
Speaker 2: it's like a read through. They only had their own
17:46
Speaker 2: lines and the cute so whatever line queued them, they
17:50
Speaker 2: had that, and then they had their line, so there
17:53
Speaker 2: was no way for them to know what was going
17:54
Speaker 2: on in the show until it actually happens. Because they
17:58
Speaker 2: wanted the actors to have the same experience that the
18:01
Speaker 2: audience did of just like what the heck is going on?
18:05
Speaker 2: And I thought, what a brilliant idea. Uh, it would
18:08
Speaker 2: have been incredibly challenging as an actor. And meanwhile, they
18:12
Speaker 2: had one person who was the director, who had read
18:14
Speaker 2: the whole thing, who was there to try and keep
18:16
Speaker 2: the show on track or redirect if things started to
18:19
Speaker 2: go off the rails. So it was a cute idea.
18:23
Speaker 1: I'm sad it didn't run. I yeah, so, but like.
18:28
Speaker 2: Well, this was this was this was a theater that
18:30
Speaker 2: was doing a read through twenty years after the fact
18:33
Speaker 2: that the show had opened and closed on Broadway. Oh okay,
18:36
Speaker 2: so it's just it's just an It's one of the
18:38
Speaker 2: infamous Broadway flops. I think it's Moose Murders is what
18:41
Speaker 2: it's called. It's like it's sat in a Canadian lodge.
18:43
Speaker 2: But yeah, so, like they were just like it's kind
18:46
Speaker 2: of like if someone were to do a stage production
18:49
Speaker 2: of Manos Hands of Fate today, it's like that, gotcha.
18:53
Speaker 1: I mean, like, so when I see live theater, it
18:55
Speaker 1: does make me want to go do live theater, but
18:57
Speaker 1: it's just such a time commitment I don't have right now.
19:00
Speaker 1: So thankfully, last time I saw a live theater, when
19:02
Speaker 1: I went down to Naples to see my friend in
19:04
Speaker 1: bo jest I came back and I had just missed
19:06
Speaker 1: auditions for Noises Off and Twelfth Night, which are two
19:11
Speaker 1: shows that I love, but also like, do I need
19:15
Speaker 1: to audition for that?
19:16
Speaker 2: Okay, this is narrow casting, but who's doing Noises Off?
19:21
Speaker 1: Well? I think it's faucal.
19:25
Speaker 2: That because I was just curious because I auditioned for
19:28
Speaker 2: that once and got called back, and I was so
19:31
Speaker 2: excited because I love that play, and I thought I've
19:35
Speaker 2: got a decent chance of getting this. And then I
19:37
Speaker 2: came in and three other guys were also bald with
19:39
Speaker 2: Goate's and I was like, no, I got no chance.
19:43
Speaker 1: Apparently I missed Noises Off auditions by a little bit more.
19:46
Speaker 1: It is playing at Fauxcaling, coming through March eighth, so
19:50
Speaker 1: this is last we can see.
19:51
Speaker 2: That's a heck of a drive too, you would have, yeah,
19:53
Speaker 2: that would have been a big commitment. Well enough narrow casting.
19:58
Speaker 1: I also watched Downton Abbey but and drop out like
20:02
Speaker 1: as I was working out. But mainly I've been watching
20:04
Speaker 1: my husband play Expedition thirty three, and I've been playing
20:07
Speaker 1: Minecraft with my folks.
20:08
Speaker 2: Got it cool? All right? Now that we're twenty minutes in,
20:12
Speaker 2: let us move on to our thirty seconds or less
20:17
Speaker 2: I begin, and here we go. Bruce Campbell recently announced
20:22
Speaker 2: that he has been diagnosed with a treatable but not
20:24
Speaker 2: curable cancer, and that this will impact his ability to
20:27
Speaker 2: attend fan conventions and such as he prepares for the
20:30
Speaker 2: debut of his film Ernie and Emma this coming fall.
20:33
Speaker 2: He said he wanted to get out in front of
20:34
Speaker 2: any rumors and he isn't asking for support or sympathy,
20:38
Speaker 2: but we still wish him the absolute best because you know,
20:41
Speaker 2: he's a groovy guy.
20:44
Speaker 1: So apparently he is a groovy guy. And in more
20:48
Speaker 1: groovy news, apparently Seth MacFarland has written season four of
20:52
Speaker 1: The Orville. What I call Seth MacFarland groovy, not necessarily,
20:55
Speaker 1: but I do enjoy The Orville a great deal. The
20:57
Speaker 1: big question is if when they will have time to
21:02
Speaker 1: produce it, because apparently Seth MacFarlane is a very busy man.
21:08
Speaker 2: If Nine of the Seven Kingdoms and House of the
21:10
Speaker 2: Dragon and the upcoming stage play aren't enough Game of
21:13
Speaker 2: Thrones for you, how about a film. Warner Brothers has
21:16
Speaker 2: a script from and or writer Bo Willeman, and it
21:20
Speaker 2: may be about Eggon the first the guy who established
21:24
Speaker 2: the Targerian dynasty in Martin's Fantasy World. Will Paramount's acquisition
21:28
Speaker 2: mean winter is coming for the project.
21:30
Speaker 1: Another project is coming, which is the Legend of Vox
21:34
Speaker 1: machin as season four. We have a release date. It
21:37
Speaker 1: is June third, which is much earlier than I thought.
21:40
Speaker 1: I honestly, while I enjoy Mighty nine more overall, I've
21:45
Speaker 1: been enjoying the Legend of Vox Macina as a cartoon
21:48
Speaker 1: better and I am very excited for it.
21:51
Speaker 2: Mike Flanagan's take on The Exorcist has a cast packed
21:54
Speaker 2: with Flanagan regulars. We learned this week that Kate Siegel,
21:58
Speaker 2: Raoul Coley, Matt Beadle, Samanthasloyan Hamish Link Ladder, Gil Bellows,
22:04
Speaker 2: Carla Gugino, and Moore are on it. They also joined
22:07
Speaker 2: the previously announced Scarlett Johansson, John Legozamo, Fanne Lane, and
22:12
Speaker 2: Laurence Fishburn, among others. That is a lot of people,
22:15
Speaker 2: and it makes me wonder what the heck the story
22:17
Speaker 2: is gonna be.
22:19
Speaker 1: For sure, Lee Isaac Chung has exited The Ocean's eleven
22:25
Speaker 1: prequel that I forgot was even happening. It is being
22:31
Speaker 1: developed with Margo Roby and Bert Bradley Robbie and Bradley
22:35
Speaker 1: Cooper and Lucky Chap, which is Margaret Roby's production banner. However,
22:40
Speaker 1: they had creative differences. Don't know what they are, but
22:43
Speaker 1: the joint statement between Warner Brothers and Lucky Chap was
22:46
Speaker 1: very nice about Lee Isaac as a filmmaker and they
22:49
Speaker 1: hope to work with him in the future.
22:51
Speaker 2: A few years ago, filmmaker Max Landis found himself persona
22:55
Speaker 2: non grata during the Me Too movement when several women
22:58
Speaker 2: stepped forward alleging he was abusive. But now Paramount has
23:02
Speaker 2: tapped Landis to write a screenplay for a Gi Joe feature.
23:06
Speaker 2: The studio has separately asked Danny McBride to write a
23:09
Speaker 2: different screenplay for Gi Joe. Anyway, yay for Paramount for
23:14
Speaker 2: giving chances to abusive men. That was sarcasm.
23:21
Speaker 1: David Jeffy, who is the creator of God of War,
23:24
Speaker 1: had some thoughts on Amazon MGM Studios, Sony Picture Television
23:29
Speaker 1: PlayStation Production's first image from the God of War TV series,
23:34
Speaker 1: and that is that it The image looks dom Why
23:40
Speaker 1: would they choose that as a first image? It is
23:42
Speaker 1: a very funny video that I've only barely been able
23:45
Speaker 1: to watch, But he does think that the show itself
23:49
Speaker 1: is going to be phenomenal. They just picked a really
23:52
Speaker 1: bad first image.
23:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, as Jester might say, you pooping? What's going on
23:58
Speaker 2: with the cast of the long gone show Firefly? In
24:01
Speaker 2: a series of Instagram reels, Nathan Fillion aka Captain Mal
24:05
Speaker 2: visits his former Firefly co stars as they vaguely say
24:08
Speaker 2: things like is it time? Or it's happening, and then
24:12
Speaker 2: Nathan slowly nods at them. An announcement is coming on
24:16
Speaker 2: March fifteen. Speculation online abounds, while Phillian says this isn't
24:20
Speaker 2: just a promo for an upcoming convention appearance, So will
24:23
Speaker 2: we get the sky back?
24:27
Speaker 1: Who can tell? Highlander is getting a graphic novel from
24:31
Speaker 1: Titan Comments Comics, Whoo, that's coming out November seventeenth, based
24:37
Speaker 1: on the original screenplay, which is Gregory Widen's script. It's
24:43
Speaker 1: They're also coming out with a kid's comic book, My
24:46
Speaker 1: Father's Dragon. They are not related, but when you're in
24:49
Speaker 1: a hurry you're reading, comprehension goes out the window and
24:51
Speaker 1: then you're like, what does were there dragons in Highlander?
24:55
Speaker 2: I don't remember yeah, I believe. Just adding to that,
24:59
Speaker 2: the the original screenplay for Highlander is significantly different from
25:05
Speaker 2: what ended up on screen, So chances are this graphic
25:08
Speaker 2: novel is going to have a more fleshed out journey
25:12
Speaker 2: of Connor McLeod throughout the centuries, which I think is
25:15
Speaker 2: kind of cool. Well, here's a quick list of some
25:18
Speaker 2: properties that will take their final for now Boo in
25:22
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six or shortly thereafter. Avatar, The Last Airbender,
25:26
Speaker 2: the live action series, animated series be Stars, Smiling Friends,
25:31
Speaker 2: Star Trek's Strange New Worlds, Terminator Zero, The Walking Dead,
25:35
Speaker 2: Daryl Dixon, The Witcher, and Yellowjackets, and then in twenty
25:39
Speaker 2: twenty seven, the Legend of Voxmachina after season five and Silo.
25:45
Speaker 1: Some of those we knew about. We knew Legends of
25:48
Speaker 1: Vox Machina were going to.
25:49
Speaker 2: Be five seasons. Yeah. Like I said, a lot of
25:51
Speaker 2: these are about the stories concluding, not necessarily about a
25:54
Speaker 2: show getting canceled.
25:55
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Ben Aflack is in the game with his
26:02
Speaker 1: firm Interpositive, which is teaming up with Netflix. He says
26:06
Speaker 1: that they're using it as a tool to help artists
26:09
Speaker 1: and creatives, not to replace them. However, he says that
26:14
Speaker 1: his tools do not rely on text video prompts, but
26:16
Speaker 1: instead of storehouse of visual data created by human actors
26:19
Speaker 1: on a secure soundstage and used to train the company's
26:21
Speaker 1: proprietary models, which makes it feel like it's still going
26:24
Speaker 1: to replace actors and I'm.
26:28
Speaker 2: Not for it. Yeah, well, you know he's got his
26:32
Speaker 2: so anyway, Microsoft surprised me at least a little bit
26:37
Speaker 2: by teasing a new console is in the works. It's
26:40
Speaker 2: code named Project Helix, and apparently it will allow folks
26:43
Speaker 2: to play both console games and PC games on the
26:46
Speaker 2: same device. We may get more information on March ninth,
26:49
Speaker 2: when the Game Developers Conference begins. I'm surprised because I
26:53
Speaker 2: thought Microsoft would drop hardware and focus on cloud based
26:56
Speaker 2: platforms and storefronts.
26:58
Speaker 1: That's what I thought too. This year is the sixtieth
27:02
Speaker 1: anniversary of Star Trek, according to Nervous dot com, and
27:06
Speaker 1: you know history, the calendar, the calendar. But it looks
27:12
Speaker 1: like maybe Star Trek is slowing down and it's taking
27:16
Speaker 1: a break now that it's hit this milestone. Starfleet Academy
27:20
Speaker 1: and Strange New Worlds have just wrapped production, so there's
27:24
Speaker 1: nothing currently being worked.
27:26
Speaker 2: On Yeah, that doesn't mean that something won't come around.
27:30
Speaker 2: But also remember Paramount's getting ready to acquire Warner Brothers,
27:36
Speaker 2: and so that's there's a big question mark over all
27:39
Speaker 2: the Paramount and Warner Brothers stuff right now. Right we
27:43
Speaker 2: just don't know how it's going to affect. We do
27:44
Speaker 2: know that Paramount has said that they are making a
27:48
Speaker 2: commitment to produce thirty movies a year, and if they're
27:52
Speaker 2: going to do that, then they're going to need material.
27:55
Speaker 2: So that's possibly good news, but I'm still not I'm
28:01
Speaker 2: not on board with this particular acquisition.
28:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, I was more on board with Netflix. But
28:06
Speaker 1: I guess we'll just have to see how things turn out.
28:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's no way of knowing if the other
28:13
Speaker 2: one would have been any better or worse because you
28:15
Speaker 2: only get one of them. We don't have any sliding
28:17
Speaker 2: doors we can walk through and see what would have
28:19
Speaker 2: happened otherwise. Let us now we don't have stuff that
28:24
Speaker 2: doesn't fit this week. I originally had a couple of
28:27
Speaker 2: things in there, Yeah, but we needed to make sure
28:30
Speaker 2: that this episode goes in a very tight time slot,
28:35
Speaker 2: and so I cut them because none of them were
28:38
Speaker 2: like really important, because it may be the documentary about
28:42
Speaker 2: Louren Michael's, which I think looks like it's going to
28:44
Speaker 2: be really entertaining.
28:45
Speaker 1: I was going to say the trailer for Preschool, which
28:47
Speaker 1: looked really silly.
28:50
Speaker 2: That also looks dark because there was some pretty nasty
28:53
Speaker 2: like violence in that. But yeah, the preschool, the basic
28:56
Speaker 2: premise is it's two families where the fathers and each
28:59
Speaker 2: of the families are determined to have their respective newborn
29:02
Speaker 2: baby enter into this prestigious preschool. But there's only one
29:05
Speaker 2: slot available for that year, and so they they essentially
29:09
Speaker 2: go to war against each other trying to get that spot.
29:12
Speaker 2: My guess is that neither of them get it. Like
29:14
Speaker 2: that's kind of the the just Dessert sort of war
29:19
Speaker 2: the roses kind of ending. But we'll say anyway, let
29:22
Speaker 2: us move on into the Horror Hutch, which is completely
29:25
Speaker 2: spider free this week.
29:26
Speaker 1: Oh good.
29:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't have time for them, so I told
29:29
Speaker 2: them just to, you know, go on vacation.
29:32
Speaker 1: We're only now hitting thirty minutes, so we're doing okay.
29:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I want to be sure before I start
29:39
Speaker 2: talking about these Now, I didn't ask you to watch
29:42
Speaker 2: any of these trailers. Did you watch any of them.
29:46
Speaker 1: I skipped one of them, and it's the one that
29:49
Speaker 1: you told me I should probably skip.
29:52
Speaker 2: Which one did I tell you should skip?
29:53
Speaker 1: Nocchio?
29:55
Speaker 2: Probably a good idea. Okay, I watched their rest well
29:59
Speaker 2: first you joined me in Misery and watching the trailer
30:03
Speaker 2: for Frankenstein's Bride. This is a movie from The Asylum.
30:07
Speaker 2: If you're not familiar with The Asylum, they're mostly known
30:10
Speaker 2: for their mockbusters, where they make movies that can easily
30:13
Speaker 2: be confused with blockbuster films, like when Transformers came out,
30:17
Speaker 2: they had transmorphers, you know that kind of thing, where
30:21
Speaker 2: they make these typically pretty cheap and fast films capitalizing
30:27
Speaker 2: on the popularity of some other ip. In this case,
30:31
Speaker 2: the assumption is that they were trying to jump on
30:34
Speaker 2: the bandwagon with a Maggie Gillenhall's Bride picture coming out
30:40
Speaker 2: to make Frankenstein's Bride. Now, the plot is totally different
30:44
Speaker 2: from Bride, so it's not like it's aping that. The
30:47
Speaker 2: plot is that Frankenstein creates a bride for his monster,
30:52
Speaker 2: and on the wedding day, the monster is killed by villagers,
30:56
Speaker 2: so the bride brings her man back and then they
31:00
Speaker 2: lot revenge, which apparently involves resurrecting a whole bunch of
31:02
Speaker 2: corpses and going on a rampage. There also apparently is
31:05
Speaker 2: a giant. I do not know what's going on. And
31:09
Speaker 2: here's the thing. This movie's out right now on digital.
31:12
Speaker 2: We just got the trailer this week, but it's been
31:14
Speaker 2: out since the end of February. So I am not
31:17
Speaker 2: a fan of The Asylum. I will say I think
31:20
Speaker 2: this trailer looks like the movie is marginally more competently
31:24
Speaker 2: made than a lot of the other stuff I've seen
31:25
Speaker 2: now that studio.
31:26
Speaker 1: I was about to say, it looks almost decent from
31:29
Speaker 1: an asylum for an asylum film, it is interesting. Yeah,
31:34
Speaker 1: it's interesting that they made it and they released it
31:36
Speaker 1: because they probably made it after Del Toro's Frankenstein. But
31:41
Speaker 1: then are trying to capitalize on the popularity for The
31:44
Speaker 1: Bride because apparently that's getting some pretty good reviews.
31:47
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know if this is worth watching. I
31:51
Speaker 2: am not going to watch it. I have seen a
31:53
Speaker 2: few movies from The Asylum. I have liked precisely zero
31:57
Speaker 2: of them, and I don't want to subject myself to
32:00
Speaker 2: that again. But that doesn't mean that it's necessarily terrible.
32:05
Speaker 2: It could be that this is totally watchable. I know
32:08
Speaker 2: some people get a kick out of like doing group
32:09
Speaker 2: watches for that kind of stuff, but I just find
32:12
Speaker 2: it too cynical like it to me, it feels like
32:14
Speaker 2: it's a movie that was made by committee, and I
32:16
Speaker 2: don't find any joy in that. Like, but maybe this
32:19
Speaker 2: is different. Yeah. Then we have the movie that you
32:25
Speaker 2: skip the trailer, which is good because there were some
32:27
Speaker 2: nasty body horror stuff in this it's Pinocchio unstrung. So
32:31
Speaker 2: this is part of the Twisted Childhood universe that's the
32:35
Speaker 2: one that has like the Winnie the Pooh, Peter Pan,
32:39
Speaker 2: and Bambi horror movies. This one's another one of those.
32:42
Speaker 2: So it's the fifth film in that universe. This movie
32:46
Speaker 2: has Geppetto. A man named Geppetto has a grandson who's
32:50
Speaker 2: named is James. James is lonely, so Geppetto introduces James
32:55
Speaker 2: to this magical living doll named Pinocchio, which apparently is
33:02
Speaker 2: an actual, like real life puppet as opposed to CGI
33:06
Speaker 2: like they actually used a physical puppet for that, which
33:11
Speaker 2: I admire the fact that they went practical. That's great, yes,
33:17
Speaker 2: But then Pinocchio wants to be a real boy and
33:19
Speaker 2: decides that the best way to do that is to
33:20
Speaker 2: harvest parts from people who are bad, like people that
33:24
Speaker 2: he've used as being bad, because James has given him
33:26
Speaker 2: a pretty rudimentary understanding of good versus bad, So Pinocchio
33:32
Speaker 2: targets anyone that he thinks of as bad and then
33:34
Speaker 2: rips parts off off of them in order to to
33:38
Speaker 2: create himself a human body so he can be just
33:41
Speaker 2: like James. Also, Robert England voices the cricket, so Freddy
33:47
Speaker 2: Freddy from The Nightmare on Elm Street is the voice
33:50
Speaker 2: of the cricket, which is another I don't know. The
33:53
Speaker 2: cricket to me might be CGI, but it's another weird
33:56
Speaker 2: looking little critter.
33:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks kind of stop motion at the very least,
34:00
Speaker 1: but I'm looking at some pictures. It is interesting because
34:03
Speaker 1: Robert England, the couple of times that I've met him,
34:05
Speaker 1: has been in a very nice guy and I know
34:07
Speaker 1: he's done some like children's entertainment too, so like it
34:12
Speaker 1: is a wide scatter on his career.
34:15
Speaker 2: It's just he's also, I mean, he's always got his
34:17
Speaker 2: foot in the world of horror because so many horror
34:21
Speaker 2: directors just love those nightmare movies, so like, like everybody
34:27
Speaker 2: likes to have Robert England playing like a cameo part
34:29
Speaker 2: in their horror movie. The trailer says this is coming soon,
34:33
Speaker 2: so I do not have a date for when this
34:36
Speaker 2: will be out. Next up, we have a trailer for
34:39
Speaker 2: The Cure. This one has an actor that Ariel thinks
34:42
Speaker 2: it's pretty cool.
34:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, David Desmalchian.
34:45
Speaker 2: I do think he's pretty cool.
34:46
Speaker 1: He's really got it both drama and comedy.
34:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's playing a biotech founder. Ashley Green is playing
34:53
Speaker 2: his wife, and they have adopted a sixteen year old
34:56
Speaker 2: girl who has a mysterious illness. But the girl slowly
35:00
Speaker 2: begins to realize that her adopted parents are not the
35:05
Speaker 2: benevolent caretakers she thought they were. You know, they're constantly
35:08
Speaker 2: like taking blood and she's told that it's so that
35:12
Speaker 2: they can treat whatever her illness is, but she comes
35:15
Speaker 2: to learn that they're using her blood as a kind
35:18
Speaker 2: of fountain of youth, you know, cure all sort of approach,
35:23
Speaker 2: and she decides to find a way to get out
35:25
Speaker 2: of that situation. And this comes out April thirteenth, And
35:30
Speaker 2: I like the trailer. But I found the sound mixing
35:32
Speaker 2: for the trailer to be really distracting because there are
35:34
Speaker 2: parts where they just drop the sound out of whatever's
35:37
Speaker 2: going on on screen, and I'm like, there's stuff happening
35:41
Speaker 2: that should be making noise, but there's no noise.
35:44
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, But the trailer itself looks pretty good. It
35:46
Speaker 1: looks almost like there are some gory moments, but it
35:49
Speaker 1: looks almost more suspenseful sci fi to me.
35:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, this this definitely looks like it's on the
35:55
Speaker 2: thriller side of horror. I mean, there does look like
35:58
Speaker 2: there's some you know, some blood. I mean there is
36:03
Speaker 2: blood because they're taking it from her day after day.
36:05
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's it's an interesting concept. And also, I mean,
36:09
Speaker 2: what a horrific concept, right, Like to find out your
36:12
Speaker 2: parents are literally bleeding the life out of you in
36:16
Speaker 2: order to exploit you like that, that's all it's. It's
36:21
Speaker 2: a very thinly disguised allegory, I would argue, but it's
36:27
Speaker 2: it's pretty horrific. Then finally we have Mermaid. This is
36:32
Speaker 2: a movie that made its debut last year at South
36:34
Speaker 2: By Southwest. It stars Johnny Pemberton, who I think of
36:37
Speaker 2: as Bow from Superstore or bad from Fallout. Yep, he
36:43
Speaker 2: was in Fallout as well. He plays He plays a
36:45
Speaker 2: quote unquote Florida man. The character's name is Doug. He's
36:49
Speaker 2: a drug addicted loser. He kind of hits the lowest
36:53
Speaker 2: point in his life and then discovers a monstrous and
36:59
Speaker 2: ill mermaid, which he carries back home to nurse back
37:02
Speaker 2: to health. And it looks like it's both horrific and
37:05
Speaker 2: darkly comedic, and reviewer Matt Zoller sites of Rogeribert dot
37:11
Speaker 2: com called it a cross between Splash and again it
37:14
Speaker 2: burnings but obviously and we're back for y'all. Hopefully you
37:23
Speaker 2: didn't even notice we were gone. But we had like
37:26
Speaker 2: some crazy, like twenty seconds of lag almost between the
37:31
Speaker 2: two of us.
37:32
Speaker 1: Like, now, I was about to try to lag you
37:35
Speaker 1: again for pretense, but I'm not going to do that.
37:37
Speaker 2: Don't do that. Like, we have a limited amount of
37:39
Speaker 2: time to record this episode, but we.
37:42
Speaker 1: Only have five more things to talk about.
37:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it should be a pretty short one unless
37:47
Speaker 2: we have something like a lot to say about any
37:49
Speaker 2: of these. First up, this is our actual lineup. Now
37:53
Speaker 2: we have left the horror hutch behind, the spiders can
37:56
Speaker 2: come back from their vacation, and uh, first up our
38:00
Speaker 2: lineup is we got a trailer for Scary Movie six.
38:05
Speaker 2: Before I talk about it, I want to hear what
38:08
Speaker 2: your thoughts are, Ariel.
38:13
Speaker 1: So it's interesting to me that we're getting a run
38:16
Speaker 1: of these kind of movies that are spoof on other things,
38:19
Speaker 1: because we just got like a new Naked Gun and
38:22
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So first of all, I thought we
38:24
Speaker 1: were kind of past and like we got History of
38:27
Speaker 1: the World recently. I guess not that recently, but it
38:29
Speaker 1: feels like recently History of the World Part two, so
38:32
Speaker 1: that kind of like low brow, easy pick in humor.
38:38
Speaker 1: It's interesting to me that we're getting a run of it.
38:41
Speaker 1: That's the first thing I want to say. Watching this trailer,
38:45
Speaker 1: there was one thing that made me incredibly happy, and
38:48
Speaker 1: that's that they had a Hard Eyes monster in there.
38:52
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, there's a bit that's a reference to Scream six.
38:58
Speaker 2: I think it's whichever one has like a there's a
39:00
Speaker 2: scene on a subway train and in the trailer they
39:04
Speaker 2: it's just packed with horror movie like slasher characters. So
39:09
Speaker 2: Hard Eyes. Annabelle leather Face from Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Jason
39:16
Speaker 2: from Friday the thirteenth, the Fishermen from I Know What
39:20
Speaker 2: You Did last Summer. Yeah, there was the obviously ghost
39:25
Speaker 2: face from.
39:26
Speaker 1: Scream and Meghan.
39:29
Speaker 2: Yeah Megan, Oh, I said, annabel Megan is what I meant,
39:33
Speaker 2: not annabel You can see how I can make the
39:36
Speaker 2: different the mistake though, yes, for sure. Yeah, no, no, Megan,
39:41
Speaker 2: not Annabelle. Yeah. And there are other references throughout the
39:46
Speaker 2: trailer to other horror movies, like there's I think penny
39:49
Speaker 2: Wise is also on that subway, but there's like Long Legs.
39:52
Speaker 2: There's references to Long Legs. There's references to Sinners Weapons, Yeah,
39:57
Speaker 2: the Terrifier, smile Winnsday.
40:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of references. I was specifically happy
40:03
Speaker 1: about Hard Eyes because it was directed by a dropout
40:07
Speaker 1: guy who does a lot of stuff.
40:09
Speaker 2: The Lord. You know, there's other entertainment out there besides dropout.
40:12
Speaker 1: I know, but I'm happy to see these people who
40:15
Speaker 1: the thing is like it's kind of an independent streaming service,
40:18
Speaker 1: and they do treat their actors well, but a lot
40:20
Speaker 1: of them, you know, it's acting work. You need more,
40:22
Speaker 1: and I'm glad to see the people that I enjoy
40:24
Speaker 1: making comedy being successful in other venues, however, but it's
40:28
Speaker 1: also a more It was more of a I don't know,
40:31
Speaker 1: it felt like more of like an indie thing. It
40:33
Speaker 1: wasn't a part of a series at least yet, you know,
40:37
Speaker 1: it is its own little, standalone special thing. So I
40:40
Speaker 1: was glad to see that reference. I was glad that
40:42
Speaker 1: it was popular enough to get reference because I enjoyed it.
40:45
Speaker 1: It was hard eyes if you don't remember is I
40:48
Speaker 1: know Jonathan does, but is like a Scream meets a
40:52
Speaker 1: Hallmark movie, and so I thought it was really cute.
40:56
Speaker 1: Beyond that though, So that's why I liked the movie.
40:59
Speaker 1: I like the people who created it. I thought it
41:01
Speaker 1: was fun, and I'm glad that this smaller property got
41:04
Speaker 1: was so successful. Beyond that, the humor was some of
41:09
Speaker 1: it was, you know, it was very lude, and that's
41:13
Speaker 1: just not for me.
41:15
Speaker 2: Beyond just being lude, it is joyfully anti woke, and
41:23
Speaker 2: that that I just find that tiresome. Like I'm not
41:27
Speaker 2: here to sit there and say, like the whole woke approach,
41:30
Speaker 2: like there are certainly performative people out there who need
41:33
Speaker 2: to be taken down a peg or two, but like
41:36
Speaker 2: there's a whole joke about pronouns that I was just like, really,
41:41
Speaker 2: we're doing a pronounce joke? I mean, is that where
41:44
Speaker 2: we are? Then, like, there's some jokes that indulge in
41:49
Speaker 2: racial stereotypes, which again not a big surprise considering this
41:53
Speaker 2: series some very broad political humor that's not particularly insightful
41:59
Speaker 2: or funny in my mind. Which if you really like
42:03
Speaker 2: this trailer, that's fine, you should really enjoy it. I
42:07
Speaker 2: actually do like the first two Scary Movie movies. I
42:11
Speaker 2: find them sporadically entertaining. The second one I am. I
42:15
Speaker 2: feel guilty about liking as much as I do, but
42:19
Speaker 2: I felt that they declined in quality over time to
42:22
Speaker 2: the point where I stopped watching. So I haven't seen
42:25
Speaker 2: I think four or five. So I found the humor
42:30
Speaker 2: tiresome in a lot of this, and I worry that
42:35
Speaker 2: it's going to follow the Seth MacFarland route of I
42:38
Speaker 2: don't have a joke, let's just make a reference, right
42:42
Speaker 2: where like the reference is the joke.
42:44
Speaker 1: And I think that's part of the problem, because you know,
42:47
Speaker 1: like movies do focus on culture, and so with some
42:51
Speaker 1: of the stuff that's coming across Anti Woke, I none
42:55
Speaker 1: of the actors I don't know much about them, personally,
42:59
Speaker 1: but they don't come across as super anti woke people
43:03
Speaker 1: to me. There was a period of time and again
43:06
Speaker 1: it's it's a bygone era where like the humor was,
43:09
Speaker 1: let's make fun of the thing that I am before
43:11
Speaker 1: anybody else can make fun of it. But when you
43:13
Speaker 1: aren't delivering a good or a clever joke about it,
43:17
Speaker 1: and you're just like, hey, this thing that exists, it
43:20
Speaker 1: doesn't just work.
43:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's more like I just I just
43:23
Speaker 2: feel like those jokes have already played out, like the
43:25
Speaker 2: things pronouns and stuff right, Like that's it's more like
43:29
Speaker 2: like like it's not funny. It just feels like they're
43:33
Speaker 2: jabbing to jab right, and that there's not really any
43:37
Speaker 2: anything else behind it. And it's the difference I get,
43:41
Speaker 2: I take between movies like the Naked Gun series or
43:46
Speaker 2: airplane things like that, where the jokes were more absurd
43:53
Speaker 2: and they weren't about like taking down any particular archetype
43:58
Speaker 2: other than just like the general archetype of police procedurals
44:02
Speaker 2: or airplane disaster movies.
44:05
Speaker 1: I mean, I've just never been a fan of Carrie
44:07
Speaker 1: movie or any of those spoof movies, like some of
44:10
Speaker 1: them have a cute couple cute moments, but I find
44:14
Speaker 1: it not clever. Yeah, and I thought we were past
44:19
Speaker 1: that style of humor.
44:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think a lot of the spoof movies, like
44:24
Speaker 2: I used to make the joke that the spoof movie
44:26
Speaker 2: should all, they should just stop titling them and just
44:31
Speaker 2: release one a year and call it spoof movie twenty
44:33
Speaker 2: twenty six and the next year's a spoof movie twenty
44:36
Speaker 2: twenty seven. Because like a lot of those spoof movies,
44:38
Speaker 2: they don't really adhere to whatever they're supposedly spoofing. It's
44:42
Speaker 2: just like a smorgas board of different random film references,
44:47
Speaker 2: usually ones that are far too dated by the time
44:49
Speaker 2: the parody comes out. And yeah, I just get really
44:54
Speaker 2: tired of that. But I know that there are people
44:57
Speaker 2: who have been really having positive reactions to this trailer,
45:01
Speaker 2: so I don't I'm not judging if other people really
45:04
Speaker 2: like it. It's not for me. It's not my kind
45:06
Speaker 2: of humor. If it were a little more absurd and
45:09
Speaker 2: a little less I don't know, it feels edge lordy
45:13
Speaker 2: to me. I'm just I'm like, I'm too old to
45:16
Speaker 2: be an edge lord y'all.
45:18
Speaker 1: It feels like scary movie humor. Now mind you again,
45:21
Speaker 1: I've only seen clips and bits it just yeah, it's
45:24
Speaker 1: also not for me, but it's never been for me.
45:27
Speaker 2: Yeah that's fair.
45:29
Speaker 1: But I do like Anna Faris getting quirk, so that's cool.
45:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, next up that comes out, by the way,
45:36
Speaker 2: June twelfth is when that movie comes out. Next up.
45:39
Speaker 2: We got a trailer for a sci fi comedy that
45:42
Speaker 2: I didn't know about called Mike and Nick and Nick
45:47
Speaker 2: and Alice, and it's a pretty high concept comedy and
45:51
Speaker 2: I enjoyed this trailer. I'm curious what you thought. Do
45:56
Speaker 2: you want to try and explain what the movie's about.
46:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I also missed that this was happening, or
46:03
Speaker 1: if I saw it, I probably went, oh, it's Vince Vaughn.
46:06
Speaker 1: It's probably some like comedy drama, comma. This is not
46:13
Speaker 1: a drama d drama's drama with a little bit of comedy.
46:15
Speaker 1: Is a comedy with a little bit of drama, but
46:19
Speaker 1: it's not. It focuses around a guy and his friend,
46:24
Speaker 1: and his guy's like, you have to help me on
46:26
Speaker 1: this heist. We have to chloroform somebody, and it turns
46:28
Speaker 1: out that that somebody is him because the person maneuvering
46:32
Speaker 1: or starting the heist is himself from the future and
46:37
Speaker 1: hijinks ensue.
46:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, So Vince Vaughan plays Nick. Nick is a gangster.
46:45
Speaker 2: His friend Mike played by James Marsden, is also a gangster,
46:49
Speaker 2: and it turns out that something happens on this particular
46:54
Speaker 2: night where things go really bad, and I think at
46:56
Speaker 2: one point Nick even says that Mike dies as a
46:59
Speaker 2: result of it, and so his future self has come
47:02
Speaker 2: back to that night to prevent whatever it is that
47:07
Speaker 2: makes it all fall apart. And apparently he's done this
47:10
Speaker 2: a few times because kind of like, you know, be Good,
47:16
Speaker 2: the Good Luck Don't Die movie, It's kind of.
47:18
Speaker 1: Like that, Oh did you get to see that?
47:21
Speaker 2: No, I'm bitter anyway, maybe i'll see it this coming
47:27
Speaker 2: week because my partner is going to be out of town,
47:29
Speaker 2: so maybe I'll go see it. But the yeah, the
47:34
Speaker 2: whole idea is that he's trying to come back and
47:36
Speaker 2: stop this event from happening, and it looks pretty funny.
47:42
Speaker 2: It premieres at South By Southwest on March fourteenth, but
47:45
Speaker 2: then it comes out on Hulu on March twenty seventh,
47:48
Speaker 2: so they we're not getting a wide theatrical release for it,
47:50
Speaker 2: which is a shame because it looks like the kind
47:53
Speaker 2: of movie that might be fun to watch in a
47:55
Speaker 2: like a receptive crowd.
47:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm into it.
48:01
Speaker 2: Yeah. I bet that south By Southwest Screaming screening is
48:03
Speaker 2: going to be a lot of fun. For sure. I
48:06
Speaker 2: want to go to.
48:06
Speaker 1: South By Southwest one day.
48:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's you know what, It's fun once or twice
48:14
Speaker 2: and then and then I'm good. I'm done.
48:18
Speaker 1: Cool. So what you're saying is we won't go as
48:20
Speaker 1: large nerdrawn if we ever.
48:21
Speaker 2: I also, I also think that maybe it's already too
48:25
Speaker 2: late to want to go to south By south because
48:28
Speaker 2: Austin is no longer the Austin it used to be,
48:30
Speaker 2: which is a gotcha. It's not necessarily a bad thing.
48:34
Speaker 2: It's a different thing. But next up, speaking of different things,
48:39
Speaker 2: we got a review for a television series that's coming
48:43
Speaker 2: out on Peacock called The Miniature Wife.
48:46
Speaker 1: Except for I don't think it's that different. I think
48:48
Speaker 1: it's just honey, I shrunk the kids reskinned.
48:52
Speaker 2: Well, only if the kids were like like, let's say
48:55
Speaker 2: that the kids were like big famous actors and the
48:57
Speaker 2: parents were nobodies and they felt like the kids were
49:00
Speaker 2: ruling the house and now that the kids are shrunk,
49:03
Speaker 2: things have turned. Because that's kind of what's happening in
49:05
Speaker 2: this trade.
49:06
Speaker 1: Are you saying the husband is it nobody?
49:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, that's exactly what I'm saying, because like the
49:11
Speaker 2: in the trailer, Elizabeth Banks plays a wife and she's
49:17
Speaker 2: an author who has won the Pulitzer Prize. Her husband
49:22
Speaker 2: is a scientist who's working on a truly transformative technology
49:25
Speaker 2: to shrink stuff down, but he is largely unrecognized. So
49:29
Speaker 2: she holds all the like the clout in their relationship
49:34
Speaker 2: and seems to be really comfortable with that, and then
49:38
Speaker 2: things go south when she accidentally triggers his his invention
49:43
Speaker 2: and shrinks herself and now the shoe is on the
49:47
Speaker 2: other teeny tiny foot.
49:49
Speaker 1: You see, I thought you were talking about the actors.
49:51
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, that's a well known actor.
49:55
Speaker 2: I was giving what is called an example to kind
49:58
Speaker 2: of illustrate.
50:00
Speaker 1: I just had my first cup of coffee of the
50:03
Speaker 1: day and it's two o'clock in the afternoon.
50:06
Speaker 2: So yeah, but yeah, it's this looks like it's a
50:09
Speaker 2: kind of a comedy series as well, not like Whack
50:13
Speaker 2: a Doodle Crazy comedy, but lots of comedy in it,
50:16
Speaker 2: and Elizabeth Banks is playing like a a like I
50:20
Speaker 2: don't know, like the trailer. There's not a lot of
50:23
Speaker 2: sequences in the trailer where she comes across as particularly likable.
50:29
Speaker 2: I'm sure the series will be different, but in the
50:31
Speaker 2: trailer she just comes across as kind of entitled and like,
50:36
Speaker 2: you know, very comfortable in her place, as being doted
50:41
Speaker 2: upon by the publishing world, and then extremely obviously mad
50:46
Speaker 2: when she gets shrunk, which was her fault by the way.
50:49
Speaker 2: In the trailer, she picks up his invention and she's
50:52
Speaker 2: the one that triggers it, so it's not like it's
50:53
Speaker 2: his fault. And then he seems very devoted, and I'm like, oh,
50:59
Speaker 2: is this going to be a thing where they're going
51:01
Speaker 2: to make her into kind of a harpy type character
51:04
Speaker 2: and the husband into this devoted husband who's trying desperately
51:08
Speaker 2: to help her, like, because I'm not totally interested in that.
51:11
Speaker 2: I would prefer there to be both flaws and strengths
51:15
Speaker 2: in both characters, and I'm sure there are. It's just
51:18
Speaker 2: a trailer it.
51:19
Speaker 1: Seemed like there were, but also Elizabeth Banks plays a
51:22
Speaker 1: very good harpy like, and she does comedy super well.
51:26
Speaker 2: So yeah, she's an extraordinarily talented actress. And Matthew mcfaden
51:34
Speaker 2: plays her husband. And this comes out on April ninth
51:39
Speaker 2: on Peacock, and I'll probably check it out. It looks
51:43
Speaker 2: like it could be interesting to at least I'll watch
51:47
Speaker 2: an episode or two. We'll see if it has staying power.
51:50
Speaker 1: The I mean it. You said it wasn't chocolate block
51:55
Speaker 1: fill of comedy. I thought there was a lot of
51:56
Speaker 1: comedy in it. I thought that was more comedy than not.
52:00
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, no, I agree with that. It's not as
52:05
Speaker 2: it's not like Honey I Shrunk the Kids comedy.
52:08
Speaker 1: Exception of where she's trying to stab a fly midair, Yeah.
52:12
Speaker 2: Where she's doing like the the it looks like it's
52:16
Speaker 2: the jump from three hundred, the Spartan jump where it's
52:20
Speaker 2: like the super arched back and you're holding the knife
52:22
Speaker 2: over your head with both hands.
52:24
Speaker 1: Yeah. If I have Peacock when it comes out, I'll
52:26
Speaker 1: probably give it a try. The special effects in the
52:29
Speaker 1: trailer don't look super great to me.
52:31
Speaker 2: But yeah, there's a there's a real rough green screen
52:34
Speaker 2: went in there. Yeah.
52:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the next the next teaser. I am super into.
52:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got a longer teaser slash trailer for the
52:46
Speaker 2: Lanterns series. This is the Green Lantern series that is
52:51
Speaker 2: part of the DC Cinematic universe, and we get to
52:57
Speaker 2: see more of how Jordan kind of putting John Stewart
53:01
Speaker 2: through the ringer Kyle Jordan being a Green Lantern and
53:05
Speaker 2: John Stewart being a new Green Lantern recruit. They are
53:08
Speaker 2: investigating a murder in Nebraska. We know that they are
53:11
Speaker 2: going to encounter such characters as Guy Gardner, Nathan Fillion's
53:15
Speaker 2: character who's apparently much more high strung in this series,
53:19
Speaker 2: as well as Sinestro, a classic Green Lantern villain. And
53:24
Speaker 2: the language is a little bit salt gear than what
53:26
Speaker 2: you find in Superman.
53:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of gritty Texas drama. There's not a
53:34
Speaker 1: lot of like CGI. You don't see a lot of
53:37
Speaker 1: the Green Lantern's powers in the teaser. But I'm kind
53:40
Speaker 1: of okay with this. And the reason why is like,
53:43
Speaker 1: did you ever watch the old Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern movie?
53:47
Speaker 2: No, I've never seen that.
53:49
Speaker 1: It's goofy as all goof out, and I feel like,
53:56
Speaker 1: especially the rest of the Green Lantern squad which they
53:59
Speaker 1: do mention in teaser, you don't get to see them
54:01
Speaker 1: are so off the wall in design and personalities that like,
54:08
Speaker 1: you almost need the extra gritty to ground it so
54:11
Speaker 1: that you can accept the ridiculous.
54:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, and if you if you look at good Nort
54:15
Speaker 2: from the Green Lantern core, he's goofy is all get out.
54:18
Speaker 2: I think that might be the one that Hal Jordan
54:22
Speaker 2: refers to as looking like a squirrel. He talks about
54:24
Speaker 2: one being a squirrel. It is weird in that section
54:27
Speaker 2: that he doesn't mention Guy Gardner at all. Yeah, but
54:32
Speaker 2: then I don't know exactly when on the timeline this
54:34
Speaker 2: is happening either, like whether or not Guy Gardner is
54:38
Speaker 2: an established lantern at the point where that scene plays out.
54:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be interesting to find out. But I am
54:45
Speaker 1: super So. I love John Stewart as a Green Lantern.
54:51
Speaker 1: And then I love Kyle Chandler as an actor. I've
54:54
Speaker 1: enjoyed his performances since early edition back in the day.
54:59
Speaker 1: So and so yeah, I'm I'm looking forward to this,
55:04
Speaker 1: are you?
55:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. It comes out in
55:08
Speaker 2: August and I'll have eight episodes, and I've been enjoying this.
55:14
Speaker 2: I mean, really, what am I saying? Like, really, I've
55:17
Speaker 2: only seen Superman and then Creature Commandos I think is
55:22
Speaker 2: supposed to be part of the officially part of the
55:27
Speaker 2: James Gunn, it's still confusing to me about which parts
55:30
Speaker 2: of the DC films are officially part of that universe
55:35
Speaker 2: and which ones aren't. Like is the Suicide Squad officially
55:38
Speaker 2: part of it? Because Peacemaker is right, and Peacemaker comes
55:43
Speaker 2: from the Suicide Squad. So there's like a lot of
55:48
Speaker 2: I just want James Gunn to sit down and say, look,
55:51
Speaker 2: here are the movies that I consider to be part
55:54
Speaker 2: of this universe, because I don't know what is and
55:57
Speaker 2: isn't at this point.
55:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it is interesting, but there's there's yeah, there's
56:01
Speaker 1: been crossover between Peacemaker and Creature Commandos, and then I
56:05
Speaker 1: think between Creature Commandos and Superman, so and between Peacemaker
56:09
Speaker 1: and Superman.
56:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the and the plot of Peacemaker season two
56:14
Speaker 2: is completely dependent upon the Suicide Squad, right, So, and
56:19
Speaker 2: then the fact that Guy Gardner shows up in season
56:22
Speaker 2: two of Peacemaker, even though it's just essentially a cameo,
56:27
Speaker 2: that ties it in with the other stuff that's going
56:29
Speaker 2: on in the Gun universe. I'm just like, this probably
56:33
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. A gun might not even think it matters
56:36
Speaker 2: at all. And I get that, but like there's a
56:38
Speaker 2: OCD part of my brain that just needs to make
56:41
Speaker 2: sense of everything.
56:41
Speaker 1: Well, I just know that he originally said all that
56:43
Speaker 1: stuff would be in like the other world, like you know.
56:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, except that except that they're clearly is stuff that's
56:51
Speaker 2: both at Superman. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Maybe there's
56:55
Speaker 2: supposed the altra. It doesn't matter, It really doesn't matter.
56:58
Speaker 2: I'll get over it. So yes, I am looking.
57:00
Speaker 1: Into it, but I get I get what you're saying.
57:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, And this brings us to our final piece for
57:07
Speaker 2: this episode. This this relatively short episode that's in three
57:11
Speaker 2: parts because of weird weather and technical issues. Uh. We
57:15
Speaker 2: got a trailer, a full trailer for the final season
57:19
Speaker 2: of the Boys, and it looks like the main arc
57:24
Speaker 2: this season is that Homelander is looking for uh the
57:29
Speaker 2: the gen one formula that would potentially give him immortality,
57:37
Speaker 2: and that meanwhile, Butcher and the Boys are trying to
57:42
Speaker 2: figure out a way to stop him before that can happen,
57:46
Speaker 2: with Butcher saying that their only real option is to
57:49
Speaker 2: unleash a virus that will that's deadly to superheroes. So
57:56
Speaker 2: that's the oh in Kamiko talks, oh I missed that.
58:00
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, there's a bit where a train shows up
58:04
Speaker 2: and hugs Starlight and then Comikos says, uh, something like
58:09
Speaker 2: are you guys in love now or something like that
58:11
Speaker 2: is hey, you talk now? And she's like yep, and
58:13
Speaker 2: that's the end.
58:14
Speaker 1: I miss I missed that bit. I obviously haven't watched
58:18
Speaker 1: The Boys in a very long time because it is
58:21
Speaker 1: enough for me and this.
58:24
Speaker 2: It's a tough it's a tough show for me to watch,
58:26
Speaker 2: and like, I'm sure I'm gonna watch the final season
58:30
Speaker 2: because it's like the sunk cost fallacy. I've watched the
58:33
Speaker 2: other four and I want to see how it ends,
58:36
Speaker 2: because I know it's not going to be exactly. It
58:38
Speaker 2: can't be the way that the comic book ends. Like
58:40
Speaker 2: it might be similar, but they've already they've already moved
58:44
Speaker 2: away from where the comic book went in lots of
58:47
Speaker 2: different ways, not in any ways that I feel are
58:50
Speaker 2: super important, Like, you know, it's generally telling the same story,
58:55
Speaker 2: it's just the details are different. But I am curious
58:59
Speaker 2: how they wrap it all up, and I hope it
59:04
Speaker 2: has a satisfying ending. Here's the thing, even though The
59:07
Speaker 2: Boys is ending after the season, we know that's not
59:12
Speaker 2: going to be the end of the IP because it
59:14
Speaker 2: was successful. So I suspect we'll get more spin offs
59:19
Speaker 2: and continuations in the form of other series. I don't
59:23
Speaker 2: know if gen V was or whatever it is, the
59:28
Speaker 2: one that's set in the College, I don't know if
59:30
Speaker 2: that's been renewed for a third season. That wouldn't surprise
59:33
Speaker 2: me if it were, because you know, once you once
59:36
Speaker 2: you find a property that resonates with an audience, it's
59:39
Speaker 2: so much easier to just keep that going and to
59:43
Speaker 2: cash in on that popularity than it is to create
59:46
Speaker 2: something wholly new.
59:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, just like something wholesomely new.
59:53
Speaker 2: Well, it's not gonna be The Boys. It's not gonna
59:55
Speaker 2: be any like you know, there's a whole subgenre of
59:58
Speaker 2: comic book stuff like In and The Boys. That Preacher.
1:00:02
Speaker 2: That's just not where you're gonna find that. What's the Preacher?
1:00:07
Speaker 2: Oh Preacher? I thought she said Reacher, And I'm like, well,
1:00:09
Speaker 2: Reacher's not technically a superhero, budd he might as well
1:00:12
Speaker 2: be man meat Mountain is pretty much done like a superhero. Yeah.
1:00:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now, I like the actors. I'll just have you
1:00:22
Speaker 1: cliff notes to me how it ends and that'll be yeah.
1:00:27
Speaker 2: I mean, if you watch it, I sure hope jack
1:00:30
Speaker 2: Quade's character comes out okay in the end, because that
1:00:34
Speaker 2: guy's been through so I mean, like they've tortured that
1:00:37
Speaker 2: character extensively throughout the series to the point beyond what
1:00:42
Speaker 2: happened to him in the comic book. And it's like,
1:00:46
Speaker 2: and it was treated as a joke, which I still
1:00:48
Speaker 2: have problems with, Like, I still think the showrunner made
1:00:52
Speaker 2: some fundamental bad choices with how Hugheye is treated because
1:01:01
Speaker 2: he was looking at it as a punchline, and I'm like,
1:01:05
Speaker 2: this is sexual assault and you're treating it like it's
1:01:09
Speaker 2: a joke. And that's into that. That's always bad period. Today,
1:01:16
Speaker 2: when I think we have a heightened awareness and understanding,
1:01:21
Speaker 2: it's it's even worse in a way because there's no excuse,
1:01:26
Speaker 2: Like not that the excuses in the past were justifiable,
1:01:30
Speaker 2: but but you know, that's not the culture anymore, and
1:01:34
Speaker 2: to keep going with that just feels like really wrong.
1:01:38
Speaker 1: Had I fully agree, Yeah, And that's that's where we
1:01:45
Speaker 1: get to end it this week.
1:01:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, we had other stuff that was in the lineup
1:01:51
Speaker 2: that I cut, but like, I don't think it was
1:01:53
Speaker 2: anything really critical, you know, there was, there was some
1:01:59
Speaker 2: Most of the stuff I cut was the less fun stuff.
1:02:02
Speaker 2: Like we had a thing about the Testaments, which is
1:02:04
Speaker 2: a spin off of the Handmaid's Tale. That's not fun either.
1:02:08
Speaker 2: If we had ended with that, it would have been
1:02:09
Speaker 2: real depressive.
1:02:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm fine that you took that out. I
1:02:12
Speaker 1: did look and see if there was anything else I
1:02:13
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about, and there wasn't. Sorry, I've had
1:02:22
Speaker 1: one cup of coffee and it was it too, so
1:02:24
Speaker 1: my brain is not firing on all cylinders.
1:02:27
Speaker 2: I had one cup of coffee as well, but that
1:02:29
Speaker 2: was at like that was after I had to put
1:02:33
Speaker 2: out a work fire, which happened at seven in this morning.
1:02:36
Speaker 2: So good times all right. Well, I guess this is
1:02:42
Speaker 2: the time where we tell everybody how to get in
1:02:46
Speaker 2: touch with us.
1:02:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, how do they do that? Johnhan?
1:02:49
Speaker 2: If they wanted to get in touch with me, they
1:02:50
Speaker 2: have to send me a question, but they have to
1:02:52
Speaker 2: break it up into three separate files, and then they
1:02:57
Speaker 2: have to edit those three files together in a way
1:02:59
Speaker 2: that hope I can't notice that it was three separate
1:03:02
Speaker 2: files originally and now it looks like one seamless file,
1:03:07
Speaker 2: and to the average person, it'll just seem like it's
1:03:09
Speaker 2: a normal file. And if you can do that and
1:03:12
Speaker 2: ask your question and get it to me, I'll answer it,
1:03:16
Speaker 2: because that's what I gotta do with this episode.
1:03:17
Speaker 1: Oh say, are you trying to get them to do
1:03:19
Speaker 1: your work for you?
1:03:20
Speaker 2: Also your Hey, if you want to edit this episode,
1:03:23
Speaker 2: I will answer anything you want.
