Latest / Large Nerdron Collider / Marvel Won't Let Us Ignore The Eternals
Transcript
- 0:07Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Welcome to the Larger ner Droun Collider podcast,
- 0:10Speaker 1: the podcast that's all about the geeky things happening in
- 0:12Speaker 1: the world around us and how very excited we are
- 0:14Speaker 1: about them. I am arieal Cast and with me is
- 0:17Speaker 1: always super fantastic. Jonathan Strickland.
- 0:21Speaker 2: I watched a horror movie and I don't remember what
- 0:24Speaker 2: it was.
- 0:26Speaker 1: I mean, that might be because it was too scary
- 0:28Speaker 1: and your brain is protecting you from it.
- 0:32Speaker 2: Or it could be I want to say that I
- 0:33Speaker 2: had it on in the background and I wasn't paying
- 0:36Speaker 2: full attention, Like it was literally like it was playing
- 0:40Speaker 2: while I was doing other stuff and I wasn't really
- 0:44Speaker 2: focused on it, which is probably why I have no
- 0:46Speaker 2: real recollection of what it was I watched, which is
- 0:49Speaker 2: not a huge It's not kudos to whatever the movie was.
- 0:54Speaker 2: I'm assuming it was a movie. It could have also
- 0:56Speaker 2: been a TV series and I wasn't really paying attention
- 1:02Speaker 2: because you know, we always talk early on about the
- 1:04Speaker 2: stuff we've watched since the last time we recorded. For me,
- 1:07Speaker 2: the one thing I do remember watching is I'm continuing
- 1:11Speaker 2: watching Severance week to week, and while it comes out
- 1:15Speaker 2: on Fridays and we record on Fridays. I have not
- 1:17Speaker 2: watched the most recent episode. I don't even know if
- 1:20Speaker 2: it's available yet, but I've watched episode three.
- 1:22Speaker 1: I also haven't watched I don't know if it's available,
- 1:25Speaker 1: and I haven't watched the most recent episode yet, and
- 1:29Speaker 1: I'm traveling today, so I don't know if I will.
- 1:33Speaker 2: No. Episode three was good.
- 1:34Speaker 1: Though Episode three was really good. I kind of knew
- 1:38Speaker 1: that spoilers Gwendolen Christie was going to be in it.
- 1:41Speaker 1: It's not really a spoiler because IMDb showed me her picture.
- 1:46Speaker 2: I didn't know she was going to be in it,
- 1:48Speaker 2: and I was pretty sure who it was when she
- 1:50Speaker 2: showed up, but it wasn't until later that it was
- 1:53Speaker 2: confirmed where I was like, Okay, good, I got that
- 1:55Speaker 2: one right, because you know me, I am not reliable
- 1:59Speaker 2: for identify people.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I just I'm loving the show me too.
- 2:08Speaker 2: Yeah, this past episode involved goats. There was also a
- 2:12Speaker 2: moment in the past episode that I feel confirms a
- 2:16Speaker 2: fan theory that I've been hearing for a while. And
- 2:20Speaker 2: again it's one that I would not have arrived at
- 2:24Speaker 2: on my own because I wasn't thinking about the series
- 2:27Speaker 2: hard enough. But it totally makes sense.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Have you talked to me about what this theory is.
- 2:33Speaker 2: I haven't, but I'll tell you the bit that involves,
- 2:37Speaker 2: because I don't think the bit's a spoiler. So one,
- 2:42Speaker 2: they encounter some very odd people inside Lumen, which is
- 2:46Speaker 2: not in itself an unusual experience, like everyone inside Lumen
- 2:52Speaker 2: is weird. But they encounter a group of people who
- 2:56Speaker 2: are minding goats and one of demands that the and
- 3:03Speaker 2: by they I mean Helly and Mark. And we don't
- 3:07Speaker 2: know if Helly is really Helly or if Helly is Helena.
- 3:11Speaker 1: But you know what, that's a fan theory too, although
- 3:15Speaker 1: Tony was wondering the same thing.
- 3:17Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's well, I mean, if they reveal that,
- 3:20Speaker 2: it's actually.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Huge spoilers people, I'm so sorry.
- 3:23Speaker 2: It's not spoilers. We don't know.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Yeah, but if people haven't watched the episode, they don't
- 3:28Speaker 1: know anything.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Oh but that's season one. Season one was like three
- 3:32Speaker 2: years ago where you find out, So really, no, all
- 3:36Speaker 2: you know is that Helly's audi's name is Helena. That's it.
- 3:40Speaker 2: That's all you know, right, That's all you need to know.
- 3:43Speaker 2: And we don't know if the Helly we're seeing inside
- 3:47Speaker 2: the Allumin offices is actually Helly or is Helena. I
- 3:52Speaker 2: think it is Helly just based upon her behaviors. It
- 3:55Speaker 2: may turn out that I'm.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Wrong, But so what made you think that it may
- 3:59Speaker 1: not be?
- 4:00Speaker 2: That was just a that was just a one of
- 4:03Speaker 2: those fan theories that was going around. But the one
- 4:05Speaker 2: that I was referencing is that one of the goat
- 4:07Speaker 2: people they don't look like goat people. They are people
- 4:11Speaker 2: who mind goats. They aren't like people with a goat
- 4:15Speaker 2: head or anything. Well one of them is, but it's
- 4:17Speaker 2: just a headdress. But one of them demands that they
- 4:21Speaker 2: show the goat people their bellies. That is what ties
- 4:25Speaker 2: into the fan theory. Okay, because what's on your belly? Oh?
- 4:31Speaker 1: But no, that's not the fan theory though. That's because
- 4:34Speaker 1: that's the rumors that Lumin spreads that we know about
- 4:36Speaker 1: from season one?
- 4:38Speaker 2: Is it?
- 4:39Speaker 1: Yeah? Because remember Macrodata Refinement had heard that the the
- 4:49Speaker 1: O and D had like a cannibalistic upraising, and in
- 4:53Speaker 1: season one, when Burton and Irving are joking, Bert says
- 4:58Speaker 1: that he had heard that all of Emmen MDR has
- 5:02Speaker 1: like a pouch that they keep a symbiotic parasite that
- 5:06Speaker 1: eventually eats them and becomes them.
- 5:10Speaker 2: I didn't remember that. See, I thought it tied into
- 5:13Speaker 2: a different fan theory that they wouldn't have belly buttons because.
- 5:19Speaker 1: They would be No, they said no pouches. They said
- 5:22Speaker 1: no pouches. And that's because.
- 5:24Speaker 2: Okay, I missed that because I didn't in my rewatch,
- 5:27Speaker 2: I'd only got about halfway through season one, and so
- 5:31Speaker 2: I didn't go through like I was just getting to
- 5:34Speaker 2: where the art department was being featured, so I forgot
- 5:40Speaker 2: about that little pouch thing.
- 5:42Speaker 1: But the goat person does say, see, no pouches, and
- 5:46Speaker 1: so that's.
- 5:46Speaker 2: Why I got it. Well, that then means that fan
- 5:50Speaker 2: theory has yet to be not It wasn't confirmed either way,
- 5:55Speaker 2: but it's yet to be substantiated in any way, shape
- 5:57Speaker 2: or form. So that's interesting to know.
- 5:59Speaker 1: I don't think that fan theory is accurate anyhow, guessing
- 6:02Speaker 1: off of it. So apparently, yeah, we're both caught up
- 6:06Speaker 1: except for today's episode of Severance I.
- 6:08Speaker 2: Also watched, which may have confirmed or denied the fan theory. Anyway,
- 6:12Speaker 2: I'm sorry you also watched.
- 6:14Speaker 1: Sorry I didn't mean to interrupt you. We're in a
- 6:17Speaker 1: little bit of a hurry. Today. Sorry if that means
- 6:20Speaker 1: a bit more chaos than normal. I also watched Saturday
- 6:24Speaker 1: Night which is the movie about the first airing of
- 6:28Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live.
- 6:30Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the one that obviously has a bunch of
- 6:34Speaker 2: actors playing the part of the various comedians and producers
- 6:39Speaker 2: and such who were involved in Saturday Night Lives launch.
- 6:43Speaker 2: It's also the one that after Chevy Chase saw it,
- 6:46Speaker 2: he he told was it Jason Wrightman, He says that
- 6:49Speaker 2: you're you're stupid, and this is terrible, and he walked out,
- 6:52Speaker 2: which to me is just a confirmation that it's great.
- 6:57Speaker 1: It was so, I mean, it's it's pretty raunchy because
- 7:01Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of there's a lot of
- 7:05Speaker 1: drug use because that happened back then. There was a
- 7:08Speaker 1: lot of cocaine use. Yeah, you know, and there's a
- 7:12Speaker 1: lot of bad words in a bunch of irreverence just
- 7:14Speaker 1: because that's how a writer in the writer's room of
- 7:17Speaker 1: SNL used to be. And then Milton Burle is really
- 7:21Speaker 1: gross at one point.
- 7:22Speaker 2: But well that's that's historically accurate.
- 7:25Speaker 1: Yeah, but I will say so most of the actors
- 7:29Speaker 1: cast looked pretty similar to the actors they were portraying,
- 7:35Speaker 1: but all of them had the mannerisms down like to
- 7:41Speaker 1: the millimeter. It was perfection, especially the guy who played
- 7:47Speaker 1: Chevy Chase. He was spot on with like smiles and
- 7:50Speaker 1: smirks and eyebrows and every tiny minute reaction and movement
- 7:56Speaker 1: was spot on. It was really good guy who There
- 8:01Speaker 1: was one guy who played two parts and I had
- 8:03Speaker 1: to look it up on IMDb to even realize it.
- 8:06Speaker 1: The same actor played Andy Kaufman and Jim Henson.
- 8:10Speaker 2: Yeah, I heard that that was the case where they
- 8:14Speaker 2: got an actor to play both parts.
- 8:16Speaker 1: Yeah, very well done. But it it was very fast
- 8:24Speaker 1: paced for a movie. It was very hectic, which was fun,
- 8:27Speaker 1: you know, a fun ride. There were nice little moments
- 8:30Speaker 1: of camaraderie and like all of them obviously getting together
- 8:34Speaker 1: at the end to have this show being success because
- 8:36Speaker 1: it had to for us to still have it today
- 8:39Speaker 1: from the seventies was really actually heartwarming. As a person
- 8:44Speaker 1: who's been in productions that are like down to the wire,
- 8:47Speaker 1: it hit the right feels.
- 8:49Speaker 2: So yeah, Yeah, unless you've been in some form of
- 8:52Speaker 2: show where like and it's almost always the case, it's
- 8:56Speaker 2: very rare that I've ever been in their production where
- 8:58Speaker 2: like going into performance. We all felt that we were
- 9:03Speaker 2: ready to go. It's almost always like if you're lucky,
- 9:06Speaker 2: you feel like you're ninety percent of the way there,
- 9:09Speaker 2: and if you're not lucky, you feel like you're thirty
- 9:11Speaker 2: percent of the way there.
- 9:13Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but you bad dress, rehearsal, great show. So yeah,
- 9:19Speaker 1: it was it was a delight. Someone that I've worked
- 9:22Speaker 1: with was an extra in that movie, and you got
- 9:27Speaker 1: to see them quite a bit. But they told me
- 9:30Speaker 1: at the end of at the end of working on
- 9:32Speaker 1: the project that it was a unicorn and everybody worked
- 9:34Speaker 1: so well together, which is kind of the opposite of
- 9:37Speaker 1: what happens in the movie. But it's it's amazing to
- 9:40Speaker 1: know that, Like, it was such a joy to work
- 9:45Speaker 1: on that production, on all aspects of it.
- 9:47Speaker 2: So that's really cool. Yeah, how interesting, Like in order
- 9:52Speaker 2: to bring about a depiction of chaotic and somewhat messy situation,
- 9:58Speaker 2: the actual behind the scene of that ends up being
- 10:01Speaker 2: like nine and day.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know. It was funny because Jason Wrightman,
- 10:06Speaker 1: who is the director, who's anyhow, he knew Dan Aykroyd
- 10:12Speaker 1: personally because he was a friend with his father from
- 10:14Speaker 1: like Ghostbusters and stuff, and so that was one of
- 10:16Speaker 1: his hardest casting choices.
- 10:19Speaker 2: Yeah, I can imagine that. I did remember what it
- 10:23Speaker 2: was I watched, Okay it was It wasn't a horror movie.
- 10:28Speaker 1: It was Community.
- 10:29Speaker 2: No, it was not Community either. It was I watched
- 10:37Speaker 2: High Potential. How it was Okay, High Potential? Was that
- 10:44Speaker 2: series ahead? Oh, what's the actress's name? I always think
- 10:47Speaker 2: of her as sweetde from Always Kaitlyn Olsen, Yes, Caitlyn Olsen.
- 10:52Speaker 2: She plays a woman who has a very high IQ,
- 10:57Speaker 2: has an obsessive, compulsive attention to detail, and is very
- 11:01Speaker 2: good at problem solving. But because of these mental compulsions,
- 11:06Speaker 2: it makes it very difficult for her to maintain relationships
- 11:09Speaker 2: or a job, and then she ends up getting becoming
- 11:12Speaker 2: a consulting like a consulting detective a la Sherlock Holmes
- 11:16Speaker 2: with the local police force. So it's very similar to
- 11:19Speaker 2: stuff like Monk or you know, Sherlock or any of
- 11:22Speaker 2: those things, and it's okay.
- 11:27Speaker 1: Got you. I also watched something that was just okay
- 11:31Speaker 1: with one of the always Sunny people. I didn't put
- 11:33Speaker 1: it on the list. By the way, thank you to
- 11:35Speaker 1: our listeners who were providing me psychological thrillers on discord.
- 11:40Speaker 1: You helped me in Pop Culture Jeopardy last night when
- 11:42Speaker 1: I was catching up you already know that, but great timing.
- 11:47Speaker 1: And I watched a couple of episodes of ap Bio
- 11:54Speaker 1: that has the guy who plays Dennis from Always Sonny
- 11:56Speaker 1: as the lead character. It is a little too gross
- 12:00Speaker 1: and raunchy for me. It is interesting because it also
- 12:02Speaker 1: has Patton Oswald. There are moments that are really funny,
- 12:08Speaker 1: but it's a little too crass for me. My partner
- 12:11Speaker 1: prefers ap Bio and I prefer Abbott Elementary.
- 12:14Speaker 2: So yeah, I also, I mean, I'm not gonna really
- 12:18Speaker 2: talk about it because there's no way to do it
- 12:19Speaker 2: on a family friendly podcast. But I also watched the
- 12:23Speaker 2: full first season of a show called Blade, which is
- 12:26Speaker 2: actually an American remake of an Australian show. The Australian
- 12:30Speaker 2: show came out in like twenty eleven. Stephanie Sue plays
- 12:34Speaker 2: the lead character. She does great playing a truly reprehensible
- 12:38Speaker 2: person like her character would easily fit into It's Always
- 12:43Speaker 2: Sunny like you could easily see her being in that group.
- 12:49Speaker 2: But that's kind of the point. And I thought, as
- 12:53Speaker 2: the season was getting toward the end, there's only eight
- 12:55Speaker 2: episodes and they're like half hour episodes. As it was
- 12:57Speaker 2: getting towards the end, I was sure going to wrap up,
- 13:01Speaker 2: but no, uh, season one. I guess this is kind
- 13:04Speaker 2: of a spoiler, but season one ends in sort of
- 13:07Speaker 2: a cliffhanger, so indicating that there will need to be
- 13:09Speaker 2: a season two to resolve and answer like all the questions.
- 13:15Speaker 2: But I know I'm talking around it, but that's because
- 13:17Speaker 2: to talk about this show and go into the premise
- 13:21Speaker 2: and all that kind of stuff, it's it's just getting
- 13:24Speaker 2: into territory we typically stay away from in this show.
- 13:28Speaker 2: So if you're interested in that, and you are, you know,
- 13:32Speaker 2: a young adult or older. Sure it's not for kids, certainly,
- 13:37Speaker 2: but then with a with a title like Laid, you
- 13:39Speaker 2: would figure not. Also, they do an amazing their Their
- 13:42Speaker 2: theme song for the show is a cover of the
- 13:46Speaker 2: song Laid by James, which is one of my favorite songs.
- 13:51Speaker 2: Oh yeah you think you so pretty? Oh it's great,
- 13:57Speaker 2: it's a great song. But yeah, it's a really good cover.
- 14:01Speaker 1: I had never even heard of this show, but as
- 14:03Speaker 1: soon as you talk to me about it, I started
- 14:05Speaker 1: getting ads for it. So, I mean it just shows
- 14:08Speaker 1: that everyone's listening everyone's listening. Well, people are gonna have
- 14:12Speaker 1: to listen quick because it's timed for that's a term
- 14:17Speaker 1: roal thirty seconds or less.
- 14:19Speaker 2: And I go first. So here we go. Get ready
- 14:22Speaker 2: to head back to the bronze folks because Deadline reports
- 14:25Speaker 2: that Sarah Michelle Geller is expected to star in a
- 14:27Speaker 2: reboot pilot for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The report says
- 14:31Speaker 2: that Hulu is nearing a pilot order for the series.
- 14:34Speaker 2: No word on if any other Buffy cast or Scooby
- 14:37Speaker 2: Gang members will be part of the project. We do
- 14:40Speaker 2: know that Joss Whedon has no involvement in it, and
- 14:42Speaker 2: that Chloe Jao is directing and Nora and Lila Suckerman
- 14:46Speaker 2: of poker Face. Fain wrote the script.
- 14:49Speaker 1: Poker Face makes me hopeful Chloe Jao is not bad,
- 14:54Speaker 1: but also has eternals attached.
- 14:56Speaker 2: Yeah. The eternals is a bit of a black mark
- 14:59Speaker 2: against her record.
- 15:00Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. So Broadway has been struggling since COVID, but
- 15:05Speaker 1: apparently numbers aren't slightly on the rise. The twenty twenty
- 15:09Speaker 1: three to twenty twenty four season report says that ticket
- 15:12Speaker 1: sales or total emissions are like zero point four percent
- 15:15Speaker 1: over the twenty twenty two to twenty twenty three season.
- 15:18Speaker 1: There's still a long way to go, but that's.
- 15:20Speaker 2: Hopeful news Christopher Nolan's adaptation of the Odyssey continues to
- 15:25Speaker 2: move forward. The Hollywood Reporter says that Bill Irwin, Samantha Morton,
- 15:29Speaker 2: Jimesh Patel, and Elliott Page have all joined the film.
- 15:33Speaker 2: Matt Damon leads the cast, and other actors involved include
- 15:36Speaker 2: Zendia and her Main Squeeze, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Lapita
- 15:41Speaker 2: Nyongo and Hathaway, Charlie's Thorn, John Burnhal and Benny Softy.
- 15:47Speaker 2: No telling which if any of those actors are willing
- 15:50Speaker 2: to get out and ask for directions. That's an Odyssey joke.
- 15:55Speaker 1: I have mixed feels. Okay, The Great American Baking Show
- 16:00Speaker 1: is having a big game Super superb Owl special with
- 16:09Speaker 1: Paul Hollywood and Preu Leath and then Zach Cherry from
- 16:12Speaker 1: Severance is one of the hosts. So that's happening. It's
- 16:16Speaker 1: going to be on the Roku channel. It's got a
- 16:17Speaker 1: bunch of sports players and announcers doing some baking. I
- 16:23Speaker 1: really just left it in there because Zach Cherry is
- 16:25Speaker 1: a very funny person so well.
- 16:28Speaker 2: Apple TV Plus is revving up a series adaptation of
- 16:31Speaker 2: William Gibson's cyberpunk novel Neuromancer. Brianna Middleton, Callum Turner, and
- 16:36Speaker 2: Mark Strong have been named as series regular so far.
- 16:39Speaker 2: The novel tells the story of a couple of criminals,
- 16:42Speaker 2: one of them a hacker, another one an assassin, who
- 16:45Speaker 2: are hired to steal from a powerful corporation. You throw
- 16:48Speaker 2: in some Escape from New York type elements, and you
- 16:51Speaker 2: got yourself Neuromancer Baby.
- 16:54Speaker 1: Interesting. We talked a little bit about Greta Gerwing doing
- 17:00Speaker 1: Narnia thing for Netflix, and there is like some very
- 17:04Speaker 1: vague news that people are speculating off of, which is
- 17:07Speaker 1: apparently a casting notice leaked where they're looking for like
- 17:11Speaker 1: a tween ager boy and a tween ager girl, which
- 17:13Speaker 1: makes people think that maybe we won't be starting with
- 17:16Speaker 1: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, but maybe Wardrop Wardrobe,
- 17:20Speaker 1: but maybe something more like the Magician's Nephew. I would
- 17:23Speaker 1: be okay with starting with a different book because The Lion,
- 17:26Speaker 1: the Witch, and the Wardrobe has been done a million times,
- 17:28Speaker 1: but time will tell.
- 17:30Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of like that we can skip the
- 17:33Speaker 2: origin story for Batman in this Batman movie type thing. Well,
- 17:37Speaker 2: Deny Guerrera, whom you might know from Black Panther or
- 17:40Speaker 2: perhaps The Walking Dead, has joined the upcoming toy car
- 17:44Speaker 2: line turned feature film Matchbox. Apple Original Films is behind
- 17:49Speaker 2: this project, which will also star John Cena, but I
- 17:52Speaker 2: honestly can't understand why they cast him. I mean, why
- 17:54Speaker 2: do people keep putting John Cena in television and movies
- 17:57Speaker 2: because you can't see him anyway. Now Deny can put
- 18:01Speaker 2: the pedal to the metal in Matchbox Cars.
- 18:05Speaker 1: Fun. Another fun news, we're getting a live action Gundam movie,
- 18:09Speaker 1: which has been in the works for a while, but
- 18:11Speaker 1: the news right now is that Netflix has picked it
- 18:14Speaker 1: up and Jim Nickel, who is the showrunner for Sweetooth,
- 18:17Speaker 1: which is a I haven't finished it, but what I
- 18:21Speaker 1: have seen a pretty good comic adaptation, is now attached cool.
- 18:28Speaker 2: Well, do you find yourself grumbling when you get to
- 18:31Speaker 2: a movie only to have to sit through twenty minutes
- 18:34Speaker 2: of ads and trailers? Well, Martin Looney, Senator from Connecticut,
- 18:38Speaker 2: also feels that way, and he wants to require movie
- 18:41Speaker 2: theaters to advertise the actual start times for the movies. Themselves.
- 18:45Speaker 2: Then you could show up in time for the actual
- 18:48Speaker 2: start of the movie and not the block of ads beforehand. Obviously,
- 18:51Speaker 2: this would have an impact on ad revenue, so I
- 18:54Speaker 2: will actually be surprised if this gains traction, but it's
- 18:57Speaker 2: an interesting story.
- 19:01Speaker 1: Metroid Dread developer Mercury Steam released little teaser for the
- 19:08Speaker 1: next game they're working on, but we don't know what
- 19:12Speaker 1: it's called yet. It's code name is Project Iron and
- 19:14Speaker 1: it's just like a little image of a hammer on
- 19:18Speaker 1: a table supposedly next to a forge because there's a
- 19:21Speaker 1: little bit of a glow. Maybe they're doing a Thor thing.
- 19:28Speaker 1: Maybe they've picked up data war who knows.
- 19:31Speaker 2: If they're thor, they should apply ice and elevate.
- 19:34Speaker 1: Yeah. Also it also says forge your legend, so yeah
- 19:37Speaker 1: that would Yeah.
- 19:39Speaker 2: Well, finally, get ready to tap those Man of cards
- 19:43Speaker 2: because Legendary Entertainment is partnering with Hasbro Entertainment to create
- 19:46Speaker 2: a movie and TV universe based around Magic the Gathering. YEP,
- 19:51Speaker 2: the card game that old timey RPG players like yours
- 19:54Speaker 2: truly dismissed as crack back in the early nineteen nineties
- 19:58Speaker 2: is getting the cinematic treatment. The plan is to release
- 20:01Speaker 2: the film first, then a TV series will follow, as
- 20:04Speaker 2: well as quote unquote other content. According to Nerdist, that is.
- 20:11Speaker 1: All for our thirty seconds or less.
- 20:14Speaker 2: We breezed through it that time.
- 20:16Speaker 1: We did it is because we both have places to
- 20:18Speaker 1: do and things to be. Yes, that's no sure, I
- 20:22Speaker 1: intended that I didn't it.
- 20:24Speaker 2: I didn't stop on it.
- 20:25Speaker 1: Okay, but it's almost gonna be like thirty seconds or
- 20:29Speaker 1: less because you added an article to the top of
- 20:32Speaker 1: our lineup that I hadn't had time to look at.
- 20:34Speaker 2: Hey, well this is just yeah, it's just quick. So
- 20:38Speaker 2: I came across an article again on Nerdict about television
- 20:42Speaker 2: series that have either been canceled or are wrapping this year,
- 20:46Speaker 2: and among them are Fraser, Fraser's not getting renewed, It's
- 20:50Speaker 2: got two seasons now, it's done or it will be done,
- 20:55Speaker 2: Moon Girl, and Devil Dinosaur has canceled after a couple
- 20:59Speaker 2: Yeah told me that that is her favorite Marvel product
- 21:04Speaker 2: so far, period, full stop. And I have not yet
- 21:07Speaker 2: watched it, and it's so I'm part of the problem.
- 21:10Speaker 2: But yeah, it sounds to me like that's one that's
- 21:13Speaker 2: going to upset a lot of fans. The franchise, which
- 21:17Speaker 2: is that one where it's kind of a behind the
- 21:19Speaker 2: scenes of a production company that's trying to make a
- 21:21Speaker 2: superhero film. Yeah, that's get canceled.
- 21:25Speaker 1: I'm sad, but I'm a part of the problem there.
- 21:27Speaker 2: And Hysteria also got canceled. The nerdous article which she'll
- 21:33Speaker 2: be able to see in our show notes when Ariel
- 21:35Speaker 2: gets them up. Has other shows that are also ending
- 21:39Speaker 2: this year, but most of those were like kind of
- 21:43Speaker 2: known factors, like we knew that they had been renewed
- 21:46Speaker 2: for a final season, and at least in theory, the
- 21:50Speaker 2: showrunners had enough running time to be able to plan
- 21:54Speaker 2: and exit so that there will come a hopefully satisfying
- 21:57Speaker 2: conclusion to those shows.
- 21:59Speaker 1: I'm really said about Hysteria. I haven't watched it, but
- 22:01Speaker 1: I did have a friend who is in it, and
- 22:03Speaker 1: so that's unfortunate. And yeah, I'll get show notes up
- 22:08Speaker 1: earlish next week but after Monday. But I haven't forgotten
- 22:12Speaker 1: we are up to date up to this episode, though.
- 22:14Speaker 2: So Yeah, so our first big thing to talk about
- 22:20Speaker 2: is something that I'm sure everyone listening to this podcast
- 22:23Speaker 2: has seen at least once. I mean, it got two
- 22:24Speaker 2: hundred million views in the first day, and that is
- 22:28Speaker 2: the teaser for Fantastic four. It came out in the
- 22:32Speaker 2: middle of this week. You know, there was some guests
- 22:35Speaker 2: that we would get one during the superb Owl, which
- 22:39Speaker 2: we might get a new, longer version. Yeah, when that
- 22:42Speaker 2: comes out, But we already have the teaser and we
- 22:46Speaker 2: get to see everybody's powers except for mister Fantastic, which
- 22:50Speaker 2: is kind of weird.
- 22:51Speaker 1: Yeah, there's some there's some speculation that they cut his
- 22:54Speaker 1: stretchy power out of the trailer, maybe because it isn't
- 22:57Speaker 1: finished rendering yet, but it is interesting. So, as all
- 23:03Speaker 1: of our listeners know, I really wanted to be the Thing,
- 23:05Speaker 1: and I was okay that they cast Eben moss Bach
- 23:07Speaker 1: Rock instead of me, But now I extra know why.
- 23:12Speaker 1: So I or rather I don't know why, but they
- 23:16Speaker 1: put in like he's basically cousin from the Bear in
- 23:19Speaker 1: one of the scenes in the trailer where he's like
- 23:22Speaker 1: tasting food and like add more garlic, and I'm like,
- 23:26Speaker 1: is this the thing? This is I'm watching the Bear
- 23:29Speaker 1: in a different format, Yeah, it's in the same universe.
- 23:33Speaker 2: Having never watched the Bear, but knowing kind of what
- 23:35Speaker 2: you're talking about, I can understand that I thought the
- 23:39Speaker 2: trailer was fine. I thought it was interesting. We actually
- 23:41Speaker 2: get a glimpse and over the shoulder glimpse like her
- 23:45Speaker 2: reverse shot of Galactus.
- 23:48Speaker 1: So stupid would you do that?
- 23:50Speaker 2: Yeah? It was. It was odd to see like his
- 23:53Speaker 2: galactus looking down on the Statue of Liberty. But we
- 23:57Speaker 2: didn't get to see like, there's no doom in the
- 23:59Speaker 2: t that I could see.
- 24:01Speaker 1: I'd see the silver Surfer.
- 24:03Speaker 2: Didn't see the silver Surfer either. Most of it was
- 24:05Speaker 2: kind of stuff like getting a look at the world
- 24:08Speaker 2: where it is clearly and alternate. It's not Earth six
- 24:13Speaker 2: one six, right, which is where the main MCU universe is.
- 24:17Speaker 2: It's an alternate universe where and it's in like the
- 24:20Speaker 2: nineteen sixties because like all the architecture and the car
- 24:26Speaker 2: design and stuff kind of harkens back to sort of
- 24:29Speaker 2: fifties sixties era, but then you know, futurized, like back
- 24:35Speaker 2: when people were in the twenties and they were imagining
- 24:37Speaker 2: what the fifties and sixties were. That's kind of what
- 24:39Speaker 2: this looks like. I thought it was fine, nothing blew
- 24:43Speaker 2: me away, But at the same time, I'm like, this
- 24:47Speaker 2: is really just give me a flavor for the tone
- 24:50Speaker 2: and the esthetic.
- 24:52Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean I like the actors in it.
- 24:55Speaker 1: I'm sure it'll be fine. Not a huge fan of
- 24:59Speaker 1: the the style of the thing that they decided to
- 25:02Speaker 1: go with. I prefer when his the bottom half of
- 25:05Speaker 1: his face is more even with the top half of
- 25:07Speaker 1: his head. But it's a comic choice, so that is. Yeah,
- 25:12Speaker 1: it's sad styles.
- 25:13Speaker 2: Yeah, Like it's designed after like the early early design
- 25:16Speaker 2: of the thing where he has like that protruding forehead. Yeah.
- 25:22Speaker 2: I also was thrown off at first until I was like, oh,
- 25:24Speaker 2: this is like really classic the thing. Yeah. Yeah, you
- 25:31Speaker 2: get the feeling that we're not going to get like
- 25:33Speaker 2: this won't be an origin story for them either, which
- 25:36Speaker 2: is kind of interesting.
- 25:37Speaker 1: There might be a little touch on it. We did
- 25:40Speaker 1: see John Malkovich will be in this movie, and there
- 25:42Speaker 1: are a bunch of fan theories as to who he
- 25:44Speaker 1: might be playing, but none of them are my fan
- 25:48Speaker 1: theory as to who he is playing.
- 25:49Speaker 2: Which is, you don't think he's the Red Ghost.
- 25:52Speaker 1: I don't. I think that he is a future Johnny
- 25:58Speaker 1: Storm because his eyes are the same his eyes are
- 26:03Speaker 1: the same shape as as Joseph Quinn's, and so I
- 26:06Speaker 1: looked at him like hell looks like the same face
- 26:08Speaker 1: to me for some reason. I'm probably wrong, but that's
- 26:12Speaker 1: that's where my brain went.
- 26:13Speaker 2: I thought Future Johnny Storm was Chris Evans, but you know.
- 26:17Speaker 1: It's alternate universe six one six, Well it eight five
- 26:21Speaker 1: eight six seven five three oh nine.
- 26:24Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Okay, we're gonna move on from from nineteen
- 26:31Speaker 3: eighties hits that are very misogynistic.
- 26:34Speaker 2: Uh so ultimately, no, no, you're fine. It's I mean,
- 26:38Speaker 2: it's talking about finding someone's phone number written up on
- 26:40Speaker 2: the bathroom wall. That's what that song is about. But no,
- 26:44Speaker 2: it's funny. I listen, you can't talk about a nineteen
- 26:47Speaker 2: eighty song without it being misogynist. That's what makes it
- 26:49Speaker 2: a nineteen eighties song. I say that to someone who
- 26:53Speaker 2: grew up in that era. So what what was your
- 26:56Speaker 2: What was your ultimate take on the Fantastic four teaser?
- 26:59Speaker 2: Are you looking forward to the movie? Did it move
- 27:01Speaker 2: the needle in any direction? Or is it pretty much
- 27:03Speaker 2: holding steady? It's holding steady, same for me, same for me.
- 27:07Speaker 2: I wasn't turned off by it, but it didn't jazz
- 27:11Speaker 2: me up more for it.
- 27:14Speaker 1: I will see it, Oh, I'm.
- 27:16Speaker 2: Sure I'll see it too, It's just like there's certain
- 27:19Speaker 2: Marvel trailers that when you saw them for the first time, like,
- 27:23Speaker 2: or at least for me anyway, I would immediately be like,
- 27:26Speaker 2: oh gosh, I can't wait for that to come out,
- 27:27Speaker 2: Like the First Black Panther really was one of those. Yeah,
- 27:31Speaker 2: but there are other ones where you see the trailer
- 27:33Speaker 2: and you're like, I don't know about this. The Eternals
- 27:37Speaker 2: would be one of those. This one is somewhere in
- 27:40Speaker 2: the middle.
- 27:41Speaker 1: For me, Yeah, I didn't. I hadn't paid enough attention
- 27:46Speaker 1: to the Captain America trailers to realize they're at Amantium Twist.
- 27:55Speaker 1: So I'm less excited for that, but I will still
- 27:57Speaker 1: go see it.
- 27:58Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's how they're introducing adamantium into six one
- 28:01Speaker 2: six because you find out it's inside the stone celestial
- 28:08Speaker 2: that that was created at the end of Eternals, so
- 28:12Speaker 2: they have so it's going to take place a lot
- 28:14Speaker 2: around Celestial Island, which is, you know, the top half
- 28:18Speaker 2: of this celestial that was emerging from the Earth and
- 28:22Speaker 2: trying to seize control of Adamantium, which is inside of it.
- 28:26Speaker 2: That's an interesting way to introduce adamantium into six one
- 28:30Speaker 2: six but.
- 28:32Speaker 1: It needs a way to get rid of Celestial Island.
- 28:35Speaker 2: What also means that if you haven't watched The Eternals
- 28:38Speaker 2: Celestial Island, you're like, what is this? Where did this
- 28:41Speaker 2: come from?
- 28:42Speaker 1: Were the tides not ruined?
- 28:44Speaker 2: If you're like my partner, it means that I'm going
- 28:49Speaker 2: to have to give her the rundown to the Eternals
- 28:54Speaker 2: to kind of explain what the whole concept was. I
- 28:57Speaker 2: actually did this already because we talked about it for
- 28:59Speaker 2: what is Yeah, what if had stuff in it that
- 29:03Speaker 2: didn't make any sense unless you knew what the Eternals was.
- 29:06Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of not making sense, We're getting a movie. Sorry,
- 29:11Speaker 1: I realized I am in the minority of geeks. We're
- 29:15Speaker 1: getting a movie called planked In the movie it is
- 29:19Speaker 1: a SpongeBob movie about the villain Plankton.
- 29:23Speaker 2: Yeah, and how he has to reluctantly be turned into
- 29:27Speaker 2: kind of a hero for the purposes of this movie.
- 29:33Speaker 2: So I was never a huge SpongeBob fan. Like I
- 29:35Speaker 2: watched a couple of episodes and stuff, and I thought
- 29:37Speaker 2: it was funny and weird, But I was not one
- 29:40Speaker 2: of those people who just got really into it, like
- 29:44Speaker 2: I think the college kids who were really getting into
- 29:48Speaker 2: SpongeBob were several years behind me, so I had already
- 29:53Speaker 2: gotten out of that face and I wasn't By the
- 29:56Speaker 2: time I saw SpongeBob. It was pretty much like a
- 29:59Speaker 2: thing to been out forever. This trailer looks fine, like,
- 30:04Speaker 2: it looks cute if you are a SpongeBob fan. It's
- 30:07Speaker 2: a lot of the humor and art style that you're
- 30:11Speaker 2: used to. And yeah, that's that's pretty much all I
- 30:15Speaker 2: have to say about it. Yep.
- 30:17Speaker 1: Same not as intriguing as a SpongeBob musical, That's okay.
- 30:21Speaker 1: I hope the people who enjoy it really enjoy it.
- 30:25Speaker 1: Just like Jonathan, I really hope you enjoy the next movie.
- 30:28Speaker 1: But I couldn't make it through the trailer.
- 30:31Speaker 2: What it's it's a it's a story about a sweet
- 30:34Speaker 2: old man and his and his puppet full Poopy. The
- 30:41Speaker 2: movie we're talking about is The Rule of Jenny Penn,
- 30:45Speaker 2: and the sweet old man in this case is John
- 30:48Speaker 2: Lithgow playing a character who's English, so he's doing an
- 30:51Speaker 2: English accent, and he's appears to be in like an
- 30:55Speaker 2: assisted living facility along with other seniors, and he has
- 31:01Speaker 2: a puppet that he sometimes talks to and it appears
- 31:06Speaker 2: to be somewhat of a psychological thriller horror movie, and
- 31:12Speaker 2: I was like, huh, interesting. I haven't seen John Lethgal
- 31:14Speaker 2: play a part like this since Dexter.
- 31:18Speaker 1: Well, you know, Dexter's getting a resurgence, so can his
- 31:22Speaker 1: creepy killer.
- 31:24Speaker 2: So you didn't make it through this trailer, huh.
- 31:27Speaker 1: I watch bits and pieces of it. It's very close
- 31:33Speaker 1: to me for me to like animal abuse because it's
- 31:40Speaker 1: people who are relying on their care to other people,
- 31:45Speaker 1: so who are maybe a little less capable of advocating
- 31:49Speaker 1: for themselves, and it makes it hard to watch for me.
- 31:52Speaker 2: So elder abuse and animal cruelty and cannibalism are your triggers.
- 31:58Speaker 1: Yes, there's one other, Okay, do.
- 32:02Speaker 2: I need to know? No? Because, like I was gonna
- 32:05Speaker 2: be making this movie about a guy who kicks puppies
- 32:09Speaker 2: while eating people and and and terrorizing old folks, and
- 32:15Speaker 2: I was gonna cast you in the lead role. So
- 32:17Speaker 2: now I know it's gonna be a little tricky.
- 32:20Speaker 1: Yeah, it will be. I mean, I can, I can.
- 32:25Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know, Jonathan, Like I've auditioned
- 32:29Speaker 1: for horror movies, right, I have auditioned for horror movies,
- 32:31Speaker 1: and sometimes there are movies that I may not watch.
- 32:34Speaker 1: Sometimes they are I'm looking forward to a couple of
- 32:37Speaker 1: things coming out.
- 32:38Speaker 2: So so, so you're a maybe on what's eating You?
- 32:42Speaker 2: The puppy kicking senior Stalker. Yes, okay, got it hard.
- 32:47Speaker 2: Maybe for Ariel. Let's just note that down, Jenny, all right,
- 32:50Speaker 2: Jenny's noting it down for me.
- 32:52Speaker 1: No, ha, Jonathan, you cannot have a puppet named.
- 32:55Speaker 2: Jenny Ben Listen. I'm not allowed to call her a
- 32:58Speaker 2: puppet anymore.
- 32:59Speaker 1: She's my assistant, Jenny with a pen on the block,
- 33:04Speaker 1: the block.
- 33:05Speaker 2: Listen from the block. She doesn't appreciate it when I
- 33:08Speaker 2: make jokes.
- 33:09Speaker 1: I was trying to go back to the eighties music. Okay.
- 33:13Speaker 1: We also got a teaser for Megan two point zero.
- 33:19Speaker 2: Yeah. It's not much. It's I mean, honestly, it's not much.
- 33:22Speaker 2: It's it's a recreation of the dance sequence from the
- 33:26Speaker 2: first Megan movie, but done in like silhouette.
- 33:29Speaker 1: I feel like they're trying to make her sexier.
- 33:33Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a problem. Yeah, she so, she looks like
- 33:38Speaker 2: she might be a little taller than like the actress
- 33:42Speaker 2: playing Megan. Looks like she might be a little taller
- 33:44Speaker 2: than the one from the first film.
- 33:46Speaker 1: I mean it might be the same actress who has
- 33:48Speaker 1: just grown up some.
- 33:49Speaker 2: It could be. And the character, the doll face character
- 33:55Speaker 2: does a wink at the end, which is really unsettling
- 33:58Speaker 2: because it's kind of like if you had one of
- 34:01Speaker 2: those baby dolls that had the blinking eyes, but only
- 34:04Speaker 2: one of them would blink and the other one was
- 34:05Speaker 2: stuck open. It's kind of like that.
- 34:08Speaker 1: See. I feel like her face was so airbrushed CGI
- 34:13Speaker 1: that it looked way less realistic than the first Megan movie.
- 34:17Speaker 2: Oh, I agree, That's why I say have like like
- 34:19Speaker 2: I was thinking like very doll like yeah, CGI, doll.
- 34:23Speaker 1: Like, Yes, didn't like it. I know a bunch of
- 34:25Speaker 1: people are looking forward to Megan two point zero, where
- 34:27Speaker 1: Megan might maybe become slightly a hero. I don't think
- 34:30Speaker 1: that's necessarily a bad journey for this doll, because so
- 34:32Speaker 1: often evil dolls stay evil, but this chiler didn't do
- 34:38Speaker 1: it for me.
- 34:38Speaker 2: It's also a question like, where does where does this
- 34:42Speaker 2: Megan come from? Because again, the end of the first
- 34:44Speaker 2: Megan was fairly definitive, but not that that ever stops
- 34:47Speaker 2: any horror franchise.
- 34:49Speaker 1: I didn't, I didn't watch, didn't watch.
- 34:51Speaker 2: Okay, well she she gets pretty pretty handled in the
- 34:55Speaker 2: first Megan film, So yeah, I I'm not interested in
- 35:00Speaker 2: this one. I didn't think the first Megan film was
- 35:04Speaker 2: really that good. So for me, the first Megan film
- 35:07Speaker 2: is the film equivalent of one of those quote unquote
- 35:11Speaker 2: museums that only exists to be a backdrop for selfies
- 35:15Speaker 2: where gotcha. It's not a museum that's actually housing anything
- 35:18Speaker 2: of cultural relevance. It's there to be to make you
- 35:23Speaker 2: look cute when you're doing your selfies. And Megan to
- 35:26Speaker 2: me is the same thing, but as a movie, gotcha.
- 35:29Speaker 1: To make you look cute while you're doing movies.
- 35:31Speaker 2: Well, it's it's that like that dance sequence which went
- 35:35Speaker 2: viral obviously, Like that was like the big thing from
- 35:38Speaker 2: Megan that everybody was referencing, and like they did all
- 35:43Speaker 2: the TikTok replications of the dance sequence and stuff like
- 35:48Speaker 2: that was the thing that people remember with Meghan. The
- 35:52Speaker 2: actual movie I don't think was that, you know, innovative
- 35:57Speaker 2: when it comes to like a horror film, like I
- 36:00Speaker 2: think the original Child's Play is a better horror movie
- 36:04Speaker 2: than Megan.
- 36:05Speaker 1: Was yeah, Yeah, I'm just saying yeah because I haven't
- 36:09Speaker 1: watched either, but I will.
- 36:10Speaker 2: I will.
- 36:11Speaker 1: I will trust your expertise, Jonathan as my friend whose
- 36:14Speaker 1: opinion I trust.
- 36:15Speaker 2: Well, I'm really curious if you actually watched the next trailer.
- 36:20Speaker 1: Look, so I watched part of it.
- 36:26Speaker 2: This one was hard for me to watch. I like
- 36:29Speaker 2: horror movies.
- 36:31Speaker 1: You do, and I'm surprised you didn't put up Please
- 36:33Speaker 1: don't watch this aerial on.
- 36:35Speaker 2: I almost did, but I figured the title alone would
- 36:38Speaker 2: probably give you enough about it.
- 36:40Speaker 1: I already get scared. So we're talking about Final Destination bloodlines,
- 36:44Speaker 1: first of all, and I already get scared from whatever
- 36:47Speaker 1: Final Destination movie it was where they're driving behind the
- 36:50Speaker 1: logging truck and the log falls off.
- 36:53Speaker 2: I want to say, ask the second is that the
- 36:56Speaker 2: second one or the first one? That might be the
- 36:59Speaker 2: second one? I think the first one's the airplane crash
- 37:01Speaker 2: and the second one is the log truck. Which is
- 37:04Speaker 2: I mean, that is a horrifying sequence.
- 37:06Speaker 1: I don't need to know about either of these. I'm
- 37:08Speaker 1: about to get on a plane and I'm still afraid
- 37:10Speaker 1: to hide drive behind log trucks. And I've never seen
- 37:13Speaker 1: either movie, but I watched part of this. I watched
- 37:18Speaker 1: the part where the chain got attached to the guy's
- 37:20Speaker 1: nose ring, and then I said, nope.
- 37:22Speaker 2: Yeah. So the trailer starts with a guy who's working
- 37:26Speaker 2: in a tattoo and piercing shop and he's just he's
- 37:30Speaker 2: closing and he's just finishing out the last appointment. He's
- 37:33Speaker 2: shutting down. He's wiping down the chair with the disinfectant
- 37:38Speaker 2: and all that kind of stuff. And the shop has
- 37:44Speaker 2: a ceiling fan that's slowly rotating, and it also as
- 37:48Speaker 2: just kind of like for decoration, has all these chains
- 37:53Speaker 2: that are that are in the kind of half arc
- 37:57Speaker 2: attached to the ceiling and in true final destination fashion
- 38:02Speaker 2: where you get into this kind of mouse trap situation
- 38:04Speaker 2: where a bunch of stuff happens in order to kill
- 38:06Speaker 2: someone who is supposed to already have died. A jug
- 38:11Speaker 2: of the cleaner opens up and starts to spill on
- 38:15Speaker 2: the ground. One of the chains gets loose, swings in
- 38:19Speaker 2: an arc, and then hooks onto the guy's nose ring,
- 38:23Speaker 2: and at first he's like, well, that's just a wild coincidence,
- 38:27Speaker 2: ha ha ha, until he realizes that the ceiling fan,
- 38:31Speaker 2: because it's turning it has catching the chain and slowly
- 38:36Speaker 2: reeling it up, and so he's panicking as he's trying
- 38:39Speaker 2: to unhook the chain from his nose ring, and then
- 38:44Speaker 2: a bunch of other stuff happens, and ultimately he burns
- 38:46Speaker 2: to death. That's all you really need to know in
- 38:47Speaker 2: the trailer. But like the bit that got me is
- 38:51Speaker 2: at one point he swings from the chain and I'm like,
- 38:57Speaker 2: that never would work. It would just the nose ring
- 38:59Speaker 2: would literally rip through the flesh of your nose. It
- 39:03Speaker 2: wouldn't support your weight, it would hurt like heck, and
- 39:06Speaker 2: it would be a nasty cut, but you wouldn't be
- 39:12Speaker 2: able to dangle from it.
- 39:14Speaker 1: So I'm glad you. I'm glad you truncated to the
- 39:18Speaker 1: point where I stopped watching the trailer, mostly because I
- 39:21Speaker 1: was trying really hard not to disassociate during your description.
- 39:25Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's a great, great podcast listening.
- 39:28Speaker 2: It's uh yeah, it's it's very final destination, like it
- 39:33Speaker 2: is classic textbook final destination deaths, which are often like
- 39:39Speaker 2: they're meant to be convoluted, and in fact, most of
- 39:42Speaker 2: the deaths in the movies are handled in such a
- 39:45Speaker 2: way where you are led to believe you know how
- 39:49Speaker 2: it's going to happen, but it's almost always like a
- 39:51Speaker 2: there's usually at least one, if not multiple deaths that
- 39:54Speaker 2: are there's a red herring where you're like, oh, it's
- 39:58Speaker 2: gonna happen this way, and then it actually have it's
- 40:00Speaker 2: a totally different way, or it ends up affecting a
- 40:03Speaker 2: different character than you thought it was going to write.
- 40:06Speaker 2: So there's a lot of a lot of switcher ruse
- 40:08Speaker 2: and Final Destination movies. This one. If you like Final
- 40:11Speaker 2: Destination films, I actually have a real hard time with
- 40:15Speaker 2: them because they are they are particularly mean spirited when
- 40:19Speaker 2: it comes to horror movies. But if you like Final
- 40:23Speaker 2: Destination movies, this looks like it's going to be right
- 40:26Speaker 2: in line with the others in the series. Whoo.
- 40:34Speaker 1: We also got our trailer for Jurassic World Rebirth. Were
- 40:37Speaker 1: getting a whole bunch of these trailers that we thought
- 40:39Speaker 1: were coming out for Super Bowl bul prior to Super Bowl,
- 40:42Speaker 1: and like you could be like, well, they'refore super Bowl,
- 40:45Speaker 1: but those tend to be like I'm saying that word
- 40:47Speaker 1: a whole lot that I'm not supposed to be.
- 40:49Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fine, no one cares.
- 40:51Speaker 1: Okay, so a lot of the ads that are for
- 40:55Speaker 1: the Big Game say Big Game on them or TV
- 40:58Speaker 1: Spot or something like that. So Jurassic World Rebirth did not.
- 41:04Speaker 1: It looks they were saying it would be more akin
- 41:07Speaker 1: to like the first Jurassic Park movie, and I think
- 41:09Speaker 1: it is from the trailer. Actually I don't. I don't
- 41:13Speaker 1: hate it.
- 41:15Speaker 2: I thought it was fine, Like I haven't watched. So
- 41:19Speaker 2: here's the thing. I've only ever really watched the first
- 41:23Speaker 2: two Jurassic Park movies, and I have almost no memory
- 41:26Speaker 2: of the second one. I remember like the first one
- 41:30Speaker 2: I liked a lot, and all the others didn't really
- 41:32Speaker 2: interest me. So I never got into the Jurassic World movies.
- 41:36Speaker 2: And then the stuff I did see about Jurassic World
- 41:39Speaker 2: was so ludicrous to me that I could even think
- 41:44Speaker 2: to get into it. Not saying that they're bad movies,
- 41:45Speaker 2: but when I started hearing about it, I'm just like, well,
- 41:47Speaker 2: that just don't make no sense. Okay.
- 41:50Speaker 1: The first Jurassic World movie was fun.
- 41:53Speaker 2: Yeah, but there was also there's also that sequence where
- 41:55Speaker 2: the poor innocent woman ends up being treated like a
- 41:59Speaker 2: cat toy between a couple of dinosaurs, suffers a terrible
- 42:03Speaker 2: death she's like the assistant woman. She gets like thrown
- 42:06Speaker 2: in the air by one and then gets chomped on
- 42:08Speaker 2: by the giant sea monster. And it's in the big park,
- 42:12Speaker 2: like all the dinosaurs are attacking. It's the same scene
- 42:15Speaker 2: that has Jimmy Buffett running around with a couple sargaritas.
- 42:18Speaker 1: That's why, because I only remember Jimmy Buffett double fisting it.
- 42:22Speaker 2: Yeah, getting wasted away again in Margaritaville while pterodactyls are
- 42:27Speaker 2: flying overhead. Yeah.
- 42:29Speaker 1: Well this this Jurassic World is Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan
- 42:33Speaker 1: Bailey and mihrschel Eli are going back to the original
- 42:36Speaker 1: Jurassic Park island to get some DNA from dinosaurs from medicine,
- 42:41Speaker 1: like three in particular. And it looks like there's this
- 42:44Speaker 1: weird not dinosaur monster deep it down in the too
- 42:47Speaker 1: dangerous level, which I don't know what to make with.
- 42:52Speaker 1: But it looks fun, it looks exciting, and there's I think, Okay,
- 42:57Speaker 1: I have to preface this. I think Jonathan Bailey is
- 42:59Speaker 1: a nominal actor. He's so very talented.
- 43:02Speaker 2: This is gonna be about how he says the word raptor,
- 43:04Speaker 2: isn't it.
- 43:05Speaker 1: Yes, Because they're like, don't say they're raptors, and he's like,
- 43:09Speaker 1: they're raptors, and I like, I have to reward like
- 43:13Speaker 1: this is it's so mean of me to say because
- 43:15Speaker 1: I struggle with accent work and his accent's mostly fine.
- 43:18Speaker 1: But just the way he said they're raptors, I was like,
- 43:22Speaker 1: oh my goodness, what was that? And I just it
- 43:25Speaker 1: brought me joy actually, so I just had to watch
- 43:27Speaker 1: it like five times.
- 43:29Speaker 2: Yeah, I I thought it looked fine. I think Scarlett
- 43:33Speaker 2: Johansson is looks like she's playing the you know, the
- 43:38Speaker 2: the taciturn, you know, mercenary character. Really well, maybe this
- 43:47Speaker 2: would be one that I would really connect to. I
- 43:49Speaker 2: just I don't know, Like I said, the other Jurassic
- 43:51Speaker 2: World movies, the descriptions of them really turned me off,
- 43:56Speaker 2: Like especially once it starts getting into the military. He
- 44:00Speaker 2: wants dinosaurs to serve as like like like like foot
- 44:04Speaker 2: soldiers or whatever. It just makes no darn sense whatsoever.
- 44:08Speaker 2: But anyway, maybe I'd enjoy this one more. So maybe
- 44:12Speaker 2: I'll give this one a shot. But then again, like
- 44:15Speaker 2: I don't know, I think Jurassic Park is an almost
- 44:18Speaker 2: perfect action movie, and all the others I feel have
- 44:24Speaker 2: been have fallen short of that. So I'm just like, well,
- 44:27Speaker 2: I've already seen the perfect one. Do I really need
- 44:29Speaker 2: to see one that's not perfect?
- 44:31Speaker 1: But we'll let you know, let you know how it
- 44:33Speaker 1: is when I watch it, because.
- 44:34Speaker 2: Okay, watch it. Well, what about Anaconda? Are you going
- 44:37Speaker 2: to watch that?
- 44:41Speaker 1: The jury is still out because we haven't actually seen
- 44:44Speaker 1: anything from the movie. I did not watch the first one. Legitimately,
- 44:50Speaker 1: the only reason I would be watching this one is
- 44:52Speaker 1: for Jack Black and Paul Rudd to be in a
- 44:54Speaker 1: buddy adventure movie.
- 44:56Speaker 2: Yeah, the original Anaconda was not made to be a comedy,
- 45:02Speaker 2: but it was so such a cheesy horror movie that
- 45:07Speaker 2: it became one of those like like you could think
- 45:10Speaker 2: of it as like a midnight movie where not quite
- 45:13Speaker 2: at the room level, but certainly one of those came
- 45:16Speaker 2: a cult classic because of how cheesy it is. It's
- 45:21Speaker 2: always it always gives me pause when someone takes something
- 45:25Speaker 2: that was not great but was sincere in its attempt,
- 45:30Speaker 2: versus like someone's like, let's just make a comedy on purpose.
- 45:35Speaker 2: Those don't always work, but these are folks who do
- 45:38Speaker 2: have very strong comic sensibilities. So yeah, there was the
- 45:43Speaker 2: whole cast announcement, right.
- 45:45Speaker 1: Yeah, which Sanny Newton is also going to be a
- 45:47Speaker 1: part of it. In knar No not great canear? I don't?
- 45:56Speaker 1: They said, and this guy and I'm like, oh, I
- 45:58Speaker 1: recognize him and I don't remember what his name is
- 46:02Speaker 1: and I feel horrible about it.
- 46:05Speaker 2: Okay, then good story.
- 46:07Speaker 1: No, so Danny Newton's shut up, You're so mean. Did
- 46:14Speaker 1: you watch it? Do you know what his name is?
- 46:15Speaker 2: I didn't watch it.
- 46:17Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
- 46:18Speaker 2: I just realized as we were going through the lineup.
- 46:20Speaker 2: I was like, oh, you know what, I forgot to
- 46:23Speaker 2: watch this one because I added most of the trailers
- 46:26Speaker 2: and I forgot that there was this one that was
- 46:28Speaker 2: nestled in the middle.
- 46:30Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, hold on, I'm gonna get there because there
- 46:34Speaker 1: are articles about it. So yeah, so Jack Black and
- 46:37Speaker 1: Paul Rudd, Steve's on.
- 46:40Speaker 2: Okay, another another person associated with comedy.
- 46:45Speaker 1: Yeah, and then Siltan Mellow and Daniella Milki or Daniella
- 46:51Speaker 1: was in the Suicide Squad and Roadhouse and then Ioni Sky.
- 46:58Speaker 1: So a bunch of fun people. They make it look
- 47:03Speaker 1: like it was fun to do, so I hope it's
- 47:05Speaker 1: fun to watch. I just might need someone to preview
- 47:09Speaker 1: it for me.
- 47:10Speaker 2: I mean, you could watch the original Anaconda no problem,
- 47:14Speaker 2: because it's so.
- 47:16Speaker 1: Like, would it make me afraid to swim?
- 47:19Speaker 2: Oh, it's so bad. It's just like, okay, you know,
- 47:23Speaker 2: it's like think of think of like the the ripoff
- 47:27Speaker 2: movies for Jurassic Park, not Jurassic Park, but the ones
- 47:31Speaker 2: that tried to do something similar to Jurassic Park, but
- 47:33Speaker 2: they didn't have the same budget, so their CGI dinosaurs
- 47:36Speaker 2: don't look as good. It's kind of like that. The
- 47:39Speaker 2: CGI snake does not look great, especially especially with today's standards.
- 47:44Speaker 2: You watch that movie now and you're like, Okay, I'm
- 47:48Speaker 2: not scared of a giant cartoon snake coming after me.
- 47:52Speaker 1: Sure, sure, Well it's okay because I prefer cobras to
- 47:55Speaker 1: ana conda's anyhow.
- 47:57Speaker 2: So right, and we got the trailer for season six,
- 48:02Speaker 2: Part three of Kobe Kai.
- 48:05Speaker 1: Yeah, and so look, I know a lot of people
- 48:08Speaker 1: didn't like how part two ended, and it was something
- 48:12Speaker 1: for sure, but this trailer made me excited. It hit
- 48:16Speaker 1: all of my nostalgia feels in the right way, as
- 48:18Speaker 1: opposed to be being like, oh, why are you so annoying?
- 48:22Speaker 1: I say that I love Cobra.
- 48:23Speaker 2: Kai, but so I watched this trailer, but because I
- 48:27Speaker 2: have not watched Cobra Kai, I had no idea who
- 48:31Speaker 2: anyone was or what was happening, apart from like, oh,
- 48:35Speaker 2: there's the bad guy from Karate Kid Part two. Oh
- 48:39Speaker 2: there's the girlfriend from Karate Kid Part one.
- 48:42Speaker 1: So you know who Terry Silver is, then yes, I.
- 48:46Speaker 2: Know who the I know like, or oh there's the
- 48:49Speaker 2: bad guy from the Karate Kid Part three. Yeah, yeah,
- 48:52Speaker 2: I would see them. I'm like, especially the first three.
- 48:55Speaker 2: It's those. The only Karate Kid movies I've seen are one, two,
- 48:58Speaker 2: and three, the original trilogy. So watching these, I was like,
- 49:03Speaker 2: I was, I recognize the actors who are showing up,
- 49:08Speaker 2: and I know generally that it's like it's it's Daniel
- 49:14Speaker 2: Johnny and the bad guy from Karate Kid Part two
- 49:17Speaker 2: versus the bad guy from Karate Kid Part three. That's
- 49:20Speaker 2: what it looked like to me.
- 49:22Speaker 1: I was like, the bad guy from Karate Kid Part two,
- 49:24Speaker 1: you're right, yeah, chosen used to be a bad guy.
- 49:26Speaker 2: Yeah, because he learned how to do the drum technique
- 49:29Speaker 2: to fight that guy because the crane kick didn't work
- 49:31Speaker 2: on him.
- 49:32Speaker 1: Let me tell you Chosen is like the best character
- 49:35Speaker 1: of the show. I love him so much.
- 49:40Speaker 2: So yeah, I didn't know what was happening because I
- 49:42Speaker 2: haven't watched the series. That's not to say that it
- 49:44Speaker 2: was a bad trailer. It's just that if you're someone
- 49:46Speaker 2: like me who hasn't watched Cobra Kai, this trailer will
- 49:50Speaker 2: mean nothing to you.
- 49:52Speaker 1: I guess minor spoiler, but they do kind of mention
- 49:55Speaker 1: it in the trailer. Somebody dies at a competition and
- 49:59Speaker 1: then everybody is still at each other's throats, but all
- 50:02Speaker 1: the previous enemies are working together and people need to
- 50:05Speaker 1: gain confidence, so you know.
- 50:07Speaker 2: And apparently it's all going to culminate at another tournament,
- 50:10Speaker 2: and all looks like it's supposed to be the exact
- 50:12Speaker 2: same location as the tournament that ends the first Karate
- 50:15Speaker 2: Kid movie.
- 50:16Speaker 1: Yes, they say they have to go back to the
- 50:18Speaker 1: beginning and hopefully it will lead into the new Karate
- 50:21Speaker 1: Kid movie.
- 50:23Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there might be connective tissue. So if you
- 50:26Speaker 2: have been following the Cobra Kai series the whole time,
- 50:30Speaker 2: is it is ramping up to the finale and then
- 50:34Speaker 2: no more Cobra Kai. But again, that was something I
- 50:37Speaker 2: think everyone knew going into this season so that the
- 50:41Speaker 2: story could be you know, positioned to actually come to
- 50:44Speaker 2: a conclusion.
- 50:45Speaker 1: Yeah. The next chrailer we've got is for Gator Creek,
- 50:48Speaker 1: which I watched before you added to the lineup, and
- 50:51Speaker 1: then I forgot to watch again, and it's Gator's attacking
- 50:55Speaker 1: you in Florida and everybody doing the things you're not
- 50:57Speaker 1: supposed to do.
- 51:00Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it just yeah, so like it's a group
- 51:03Speaker 2: of people who are doing some sort of low flying
- 51:09Speaker 2: air tour of the Everglades, and so they're in a
- 51:12Speaker 2: little plane skimming over the top of the tree line
- 51:17Speaker 2: in the Everglades, and of course something goes wrong and
- 51:19Speaker 2: they have a crash landing and then they the ones
- 51:23Speaker 2: who do survive the crash, are rapidly dispatched by alligators.
- 51:30Speaker 2: I saw a lot of people saying that it looks
- 51:32Speaker 2: like it's cocaine bear, but for alligators. I didn't notice
- 51:36Speaker 2: any cocaine. But I'm guessing that that's actually something that
- 51:39Speaker 2: is happening in one of the scenes, because there's this
- 51:41Speaker 2: one bit where a girl is holding out something to
- 51:44Speaker 2: a gater saying, this is what you wanted, And I'm
- 51:46Speaker 2: guessing that's cocaine. I don't know, but I thought it
- 51:51Speaker 2: looked incredibly dumb.
- 51:54Speaker 1: I watched med Crocodile, so I'll watch.
- 51:58Speaker 2: Well, it looked dumb because, like you said, you know,
- 52:01Speaker 2: people were doing things that were that you're not supposed
- 52:06Speaker 2: to do if you are trying to evade a gator,
- 52:08Speaker 2: Like you don't run in a straight line, for example,
- 52:10Speaker 2: because gators can run really fast in a straight line,
- 52:14Speaker 2: like super fast, faster than people can. But if you
- 52:17Speaker 2: they don't corner so well, so so if you zigzag,
- 52:20Speaker 2: you're gonna be in better shape. But also, like gators
- 52:24Speaker 2: are pretty docile, they're not.
- 52:28Speaker 1: It's the crocks you got to watch out for.
- 52:29Speaker 2: Crocs are much more aggressive than alligators are. The only
- 52:33Speaker 2: time I've ever seen an alligator get even a little
- 52:36Speaker 2: bit aggressed, well twice. Once was I was at ok
- 52:39Speaker 2: Fino and some people were hassling an alligator and that
- 52:43Speaker 2: was just dumb. But the other time is if you
- 52:47Speaker 2: get between like a mama gator and her nest, then
- 52:50Speaker 2: that gator can get pretty aggressive. But usually they're like
- 52:53Speaker 2: they don't want any trouble. You're too big to be
- 52:56Speaker 2: much of a temptation for them.
- 52:59Speaker 1: Yeah, so I've seen people kiss skaters on the nose
- 53:02Speaker 1: or feed them marshmallows or stuff or chuns. Yeah, and
- 53:06Speaker 1: I've seen crocodiles get super aggressive on escalators. They really
- 53:09Speaker 1: like to get wedged in there.
- 53:12Speaker 2: Right, you get your crocs caught in an escalator? Yeah,
- 53:15Speaker 2: I think.
- 53:15Speaker 1: I meant to say kroc but I said crocodile. I
- 53:19Speaker 1: don't know.
- 53:21Speaker 2: No, I got where you're going though.
- 53:23Speaker 1: Okay, cool, But.
- 53:25Speaker 2: Yeah, this looks dumb. It looks like a dump. This
- 53:28Speaker 2: looks like Anaconda. Dumb. This is reminding me of the
- 53:31Speaker 2: original Anaconda, which is one of the reasons I threw
- 53:33Speaker 2: it in is that it was like a monster movie
- 53:36Speaker 2: that hearkens back to movies like Anaconda. I don't know
- 53:41Speaker 2: that it'll be so bad that it's good. And I
- 53:44Speaker 2: try to avoid saying movies are good or bad, right, because,
- 53:48Speaker 2: like it's so subjective. But from my subjective perspective, this
- 53:52Speaker 2: does look like a bad movie. If we're lucky, it'll
- 53:55Speaker 2: be so bad it's good. Fair.
- 53:58Speaker 1: You also added a trailer for a John Travolta heist
- 54:01Speaker 1: movie called high Rollers. You've equated it to money Plane,
- 54:05Speaker 1: which is not a movie I've watched. So I have
- 54:08Speaker 1: no basis. To me, it looks like a John Travolta
- 54:11Speaker 1: Ocean's eleven.
- 54:12Speaker 2: Kind of Okay, So money Plane stars a WWE professional
- 54:19Speaker 2: wrestler whose wrestling name is Edge, and the bad guy
- 54:24Speaker 2: at money Plane was played by Kelsey Grammer, a La
- 54:29Speaker 2: Fraser fame, and it is terrible. Money Plane is terrible.
- 54:34Speaker 2: It's a low budget action thriller heist movie. And High
- 54:39Speaker 2: Rollers also looks like it looks like a mid budget
- 54:43Speaker 2: heist movie with John Travolta as the star. And it
- 54:46Speaker 2: also makes me think of a type of movie that
- 54:49Speaker 2: Red Letter Media calls geezer teasers. So these are these
- 54:54Speaker 2: are movies that star like notable actors, but they are
- 54:59Speaker 2: clearly lower budget and the whole budget probably went to
- 55:04Speaker 2: paying that actor's salary, and they almost exclusively existed for
- 55:10Speaker 2: red Box, and of course red Box isn't the thing
- 55:14Speaker 2: anymore so, but this does look like a geezer teaser
- 55:17Speaker 2: to me. I watched this and I was just like,
- 55:19Speaker 2: this looks terrible.
- 55:22Speaker 1: Yeah, not great, So we're gonna move on.
- 55:25Speaker 2: You don't have anything else to say.
- 55:27Speaker 1: I really don't like John Travolta's plastic surgery is growing
- 55:32Speaker 1: on me.
- 55:33Speaker 2: Yeah. I put in a trilogy of bad movie trailers
- 55:38Speaker 2: back to back to back.
- 55:39Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're going from Money Playing to Bullet Train.
- 55:43Speaker 1: With the trailer for I originally read it as Flight
- 55:46Speaker 1: or Flight.
- 55:48Speaker 2: It's fight or flight, flight flight, and as was it
- 55:54Speaker 2: Josh is Josh Partment Josh hart who was recently in
- 55:57Speaker 2: the m Night Shayama on Trap movie.
- 56:01Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was it.
- 56:02Speaker 2: Yeah, which was not good either. I tried watching it.
- 56:06Speaker 2: I had to scrub thereat because it was so bad.
- 56:09Speaker 2: Fight or Flight also looks dumb. It makes me think
- 56:14Speaker 2: of movies like Bullet Train or Smoking Aces, where your
- 56:18Speaker 2: main character is given a task. In this case, it's
- 56:23Speaker 2: to escort a fugitive from one part of the world
- 56:27Speaker 2: to another aboard this flight. But it turns out that
- 56:30Speaker 2: almost everyone on that flight is like a bounty hunter
- 56:34Speaker 2: slash assassin who's also out for that particular person. Plus
- 56:40Speaker 2: I guess Josh Hartnet's character himself is a wanted man.
- 56:43Speaker 2: It's hard to say. It's hard to get it from
- 56:45Speaker 2: the trailer, but it does make me think Bullet Trained
- 56:49Speaker 2: because obviously it's very similar to that one with Brad
- 56:52Speaker 2: Pitt or Smoking Aces, which kind of I think started
- 56:57Speaker 2: us on this journey of let's have what happens if
- 57:02Speaker 2: you have a movie where all the baddest of the
- 57:04Speaker 2: bad you know, Hitman slash Bounty Hunters all converged at
- 57:09Speaker 2: the same place at the same time, with the same goal.
- 57:13Speaker 2: So they're competing with each other over this. But yeah, like,
- 57:17Speaker 2: I think the point that made me go like, okay,
- 57:19Speaker 2: this looks like trash was when when a character stands
- 57:23Speaker 2: up and throws like a harpoon on a chain a
- 57:26Speaker 2: la Scorpion from Mortal Kombat.
- 57:30Speaker 1: You know, maybe there's something hidden in there that makes
- 57:34Speaker 1: that super logical and a lot of fun.
- 57:36Speaker 2: How do you get through airport security so that you
- 57:39Speaker 2: can carry it onto the plane with you?
- 57:41Speaker 1: You're the plane engineering, you build it into the body
- 57:44Speaker 1: of the plane.
- 57:45Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe I guess that makes us just as much
- 57:48Speaker 2: sense as anything else in that trailer.
- 57:49Speaker 1: Oh cool, Cool, We're gonna go from trailers set. Oh
- 57:52Speaker 1: don't look great.
- 57:53Speaker 2: Nothing to say about any of these.
- 57:57Speaker 1: I really don't.
- 57:58Speaker 3: I'm so sorry.
- 57:59Speaker 1: I watched it and it immediately left my brain.
- 58:02Speaker 2: Ariel, you have to understand that when I edit this,
- 58:05Speaker 2: all I'm gonna see is an empty line on your part.
- 58:09Speaker 2: And okay, just me talking time.
- 58:11Speaker 1: So no, what Jonathan really has done here is he's
- 58:14Speaker 1: given uh like, I did watch them and then I
- 58:17Speaker 1: was trying to recall them and I couldn't.
- 58:20Speaker 2: I mean, they that is exactly the kind of movies
- 58:23Speaker 2: these are.
- 58:24Speaker 1: Yeah, and and normally normally, look, it's been a busy
- 58:28Speaker 1: week for me, but also Jonathan has done everybody a
- 58:31Speaker 1: really good solid. If you like Bad movie Nights, you
- 58:33Speaker 1: have a new lineup and maybe they'll be great. But
- 58:37Speaker 1: if not, you've got a new bad movie night lineup.
- 58:41Speaker 2: Gator Creek, high Rollers and Fighter Flight. I mean, if
- 58:44Speaker 2: you can make it through high rollers to get to
- 58:46Speaker 2: fight or Flight after the other two, good on you.
- 58:50Speaker 1: No, no, no, you start with high Rollers and then
- 58:53Speaker 1: you go to Fight or Flight, and then you land
- 58:55Speaker 1: in Gator Creek when the fight fight causes the flight.
- 58:59Speaker 2: That's just way more sense. You're right, you know thematically
- 59:02Speaker 2: that does follow the track.
- 59:05Speaker 1: Yes, and then you get sucked through time into uh
- 59:08Speaker 1: Rihanna musical with Little Blue People. Yeah, which no, you
- 59:14Speaker 1: go ahead.
- 59:15Speaker 2: No, you go ahead.
- 59:17Speaker 1: This one is what happens in the trailer for Smurfs,
- 59:20Speaker 1: which is going to be an amazing movie.
- 59:22Speaker 2: I don't.
- 59:23Speaker 1: I actually don't know.
- 59:25Speaker 2: It is a musical.
- 59:26Speaker 1: It's a musical. I think Rihanna voices.
- 59:29Speaker 2: Smurfet, Yes, she voices Smurfat.
- 59:32Speaker 1: And uh and Nick Offerman voices Papa, Smurf's brother who
- 59:37Speaker 1: they meet. I guess in the real world because the
- 59:41Speaker 1: Smurfs get sucked into a portal by Gargamel and Gargamel's
- 59:46Speaker 1: also brother cousin.
- 59:48Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's his brother, but like I didn't
- 59:50Speaker 2: know that Gargamel had a brother me neither. Yeah, this
- 59:56Speaker 2: trailer introduced me to a lot of things I didn't know,
- 59:58Speaker 2: like a lot of Maybe it's said they're actually introducing
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: new Smurfs into the classic lineup of Smurf, So I
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: don't know if this film is going to at all.
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: I guess. I guess it's not connected to the previous
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: movies that came out with Neil Patrick Harris, wasn't it
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: who was in them?
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: Was he or was he in a Garfield movie? I
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: don't know.
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: I thought Neil Patrick Harris was in the Smurfs movies,
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: but I didn't see them, so I don't have any
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: like first hand memory of them.
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: But yes, he was in a twenty eleven Smurfs movie.
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think that this one has any connection
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: to that. I think it's its own thing because again,
- 1:00:38Speaker 2: like you were saying, they exist in their own world
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: and they get pulled through a portal to land in
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: not the real world, like everything's still cartoons.
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: No, they're like riding in a uber eats basket on
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: a moped.
- 1:00:52Speaker 2: Are they. Yeah, I wasn't paying attention.
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: Yeah, they go into the real world. But also I
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: will say the art style is super interesting. It's kind
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: of that two D three D art style, which I
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: totally grock.
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's a I saw one YouTube thumbnail. It's
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: one of those grouchy white dude YouTube channels I guess
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: where it's like Smurf's trailer, worst Thing Ever, something along
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: those lines, And I'm just like, it wasn't that bad.
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: Like I didn't think it was bad. I didn't think
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: it was for me. But I thought like, if I
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: were a little kid and I saw that trailer, I'd
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: probably think, like, that looks funny. I want to see it.
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean, and I think it's for kids, So.
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not. It turns out this is just a
- 1:01:37Speaker 2: shout out to all my fellow old white dudes out there,
- 1:01:40Speaker 2: because I'm an old white dude, so I'm just shouting
- 1:01:43Speaker 2: this out to all of you other old white dudes
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: out there. Not everything is made for us. You feel
- 1:01:48Speaker 2: like it is, because for a long time, that's how
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: we treated the whole world, and some people are trying
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: to treat it that way again. But that's not true.
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: Some stuff is made for people younger than you, or
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: of a different race or a different gender identity, and
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: that's cool.
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: Yes, it is cool. I was trying to think of
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: a I am unclever, but yes, it is cool. I
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: love the fact that we get a broad diversity. I
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: should just not try to be clever that we get
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: a broad diversity of stories because it makes life and
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: it makes the things we can imagine much richer.
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: So yeah, I am totally fine with this trailer. Like,
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: does it make me want to see the Smurfs? No?
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: But does it make me feel like, oh man, what
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: a huge waste of time and money?
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: No.
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: I think it looks like it's entertaining for the audience,
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: that it's aiming for.
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: What I want Smurfs to be is I want you
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: to turn it on the way I turned on Paddington too,
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: where I was like, this will just be background noise
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna like it. But it's the easiest
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: thing because it's already on the channel, and then you
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: fall in love with it.
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: Yeah. No, everything I have heard. It's that's on one
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: of my lists, like Paddington and Paddington two, that I
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: need to watch these because so many people whom I
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: respect have talked about their genuine love of those films,
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: and and it's enough for me to say like, yeah,
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: I'm sure I would really dig it. I just haven't
- 1:03:25Speaker 2: done it yet.
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: I liked the second Paddington better, but I think that's
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: because I saw that one first.
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, actually I think a lot of people say
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: the second. Oddly enough, the second one bucks the trend
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: of you know, the sequel is never as good as
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: the original, where people are like, no, the sequels actually
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: better than the original was.
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: I don't know how the three will be, but that
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: either just came out or is coming out soon. We're
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: gonna move on. We got two stories left and we're
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: kind of running out of time, so we're gonna plup three.
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: These go ahead.
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: Yeah, So we got a promotional video for Out of Midnight.
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: Last week we talked about we got a story trailer
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: for South of Midnight that's an upcoming Vigia game that's
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: kind of it's set in the Bayou and it has
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: like magic and witchcraft and folklore all we woven into
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: it and weaving as it turns out or spinning, and
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: we got a stop motion video. So this is not
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: done in the game's engine, but was produced as a
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: separate piece of marketing material in the style that you
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: see in the video game, which is an incredibly impressive achievement,
- 1:04:38Speaker 2: like to take something that was first realized in a
- 1:04:42Speaker 2: virtual game engine and then to make a physical, stop
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: motion animated short featurette like it's not even a featurette,
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: but like a trailer almost. I was really impressed by
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: the artistry.
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, maybe I was about to say, maybe one
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: of the most impressive stop motion things I've seen.
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: Yeah, and very much in the style that was presented
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: in the trailers we've seen so far. This is a
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: game I'm really excited about because it looks just so
- 1:05:13Speaker 2: like the gameplay doesn't look that different from some other games,
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: Like it has some souls, like dark souls kind of
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: energy to it, but the setting and the characters are
- 1:05:25Speaker 2: ones that you just don't typically see, or if you
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: do see, it's done in such a cartoonish way where
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: you don't really feel like there was much necessarily much
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: thought given to it. This looks like there was a
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: ton of thought given to creating that world. And so
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: I'm so excited to actually get a chance to play this.
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: Me too, Me too. I'll have to get a console
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: that plays at first. It's on my list of things today.
- 1:05:53Speaker 2: Same here.
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: Honestly, I have plenty of games I haven't played on
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: my existing consoles.
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: Is really the problem saying.
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: Yeah, but also very much looking forward to it. And
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: in the theme of this episode where I just let Jonathan.
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: Talk and it's gonna be so depressing to look at
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: that edit.
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, but it's gonna be a good episode.
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: You're you've got some great points.
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: Well, I just I feel always all right, So so
- 1:06:20Speaker 2: pulling back the curtain to our listeners real quick, and
- 1:06:22Speaker 2: then we will do the last story so we can
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: let Ariel get going and everything, like, uh, I know,
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: I talk a lot, I always have, Like it's just
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: been that's throughout the history of my podcasting career. I
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: talk more than whoever my co hosts are. I am
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: aware of this. As the editor of the show. I
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: am acutely aware because I can see it on my
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: screen because Ariel's got her track, I've got mine.
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: So sometimes I ramble.
- 1:06:49Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, but like every time, every time, I'm like,
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: at most we're like like sixty forty. Usually it's closer
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: to like seventy thirty because I talk too much. It's
- 1:06:59Speaker 2: not you aren't contributing. Is that I'm doing too much.
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: I will, I will work on that.
- 1:07:04Speaker 2: I need to work on that is what I'm saying.
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: I need to shut up.
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: Well, maybe you should install some rooster Teeth tear.
- 1:07:15Speaker 2: Let's let's not go that way, because I don't think
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: you know where the name rooster Teeth comes from. I'll
- 1:07:22Speaker 2: tell you after. I'll tell you after we run.
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: I think I can imagine. Okay, hey, yeah, so sit
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: down and watch the rooster Teeth. There we go.
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: You're if you remember last year round right around April
- 1:07:35Speaker 2: last year, April May of last year, Rooster Teeth was
- 1:07:39Speaker 2: shut down by Warner Brothers Discovery. The company had been
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: in operation for like twenty one years I think before
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: it was shut down. There This is the company that
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: made online series like Red Versus Blue. That's where they
- 1:07:54Speaker 2: first hit big success, and then they also became known
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: for doing live action shorts. They did game shows, they
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: did a ton of podcasts that were really popular, and
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: then it all got shut down last year by Warner
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: Brothers Discovery, and employees were given a little bit of
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: a heads up, like they had like a few weeks
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: leading into when it was all shut down, but it
- 1:08:19Speaker 2: was still a pretty rough series of weeks. Now news
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: has broken that Bernie Burns, who is one of the
- 1:08:27Speaker 2: original co founders of Rooster Teeth and who had left
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: the company several years back, like around twenty twenty, has
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: acquired the assets of Rooster Teeth. These bought them from
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: presumably Warner Brothers Discovery, and is planning on relaunching the company.
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: There's still plenty of questions, like we don't know things
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: like timelines or the people who will be involved, Like
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: we don't know if any of the original folks from
- 1:08:59Speaker 2: Rooster Teeth to come back, Like a lot of them
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: have continued on making their stuff, but they've done so independently, right,
- 1:09:09Speaker 2: Like they've created their own shows. In some cases it
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: shows with totally new branding because they didn't have the
- 1:09:15Speaker 2: rights to the older version of whatever it was. So
- 1:09:19Speaker 2: we don't know really the extent of this, like how
- 1:09:24Speaker 2: much of Rooster Teeth's IP does Bernie Burns actually own
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: at this point? Is it everything? Is it just you know,
- 1:09:30Speaker 2: like Red Versus Blue and some other properties. We don't know.
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: But I wanted to bring the story up because Rooster
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: Teeth was one of those internet entertainment companies that was
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: really important to me in the early and mid two thousands,
- 1:09:45Speaker 2: and I had followed a lot of their stuff all
- 1:09:48Speaker 2: the way up to when they were shut down. So
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: it's exciting that some of that could be brought back,
- 1:09:54Speaker 2: assuming that they can get the right people in place.
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure. I haven't really watched much Rooster Teeth.
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: I did watch a lot of Red Versus Blue, not
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: a lot. I've watched several episodes of Red Versus Blue,
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: and it's pretty funny. I never played Halo, though, so.
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Red Versus Blue once you get past, especially
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: once you get past the first season, the Halo stuff really,
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: after you get past the first five seasons, if you're
- 1:10:20Speaker 2: being totally honest, the Halo stuff starts to take more
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: of a back seat, and it has its own kind
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: of lore behind it. It just so happens that they're using
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: the Halo character models and stuff in order to tell
- 1:10:33Speaker 2: their stories, but they ended up creating their own kind
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: of fiction within the confines of using those models and stuff.
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: But yeah, totally, Like if you're not a Halo person
- 1:10:46Speaker 2: and you start watching that first episode, they do make
- 1:10:51Speaker 2: reference to master Chief and like a couple of other things,
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: and you might think like, oh, well, this doesn't appeal
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: to me because it never played the game, But ultimately
- 1:11:00Speaker 2: it does become more of a zany, weird comedy. Then
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: it becomes like a weird like anime inspired action series
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: for a while. Still has comedic elements, but not as much.
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: It didn't watch the anime action thing. I did like
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: the comedy of it, but it could be a slightly
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: hard entry point. But I am really glad because I
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: know a bunch of people were sad when it was
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: shutting down, so I'm glad that those stories can continue
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: me too.
- 1:11:27Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm wishing Bernie Burns the absolute best. I've
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: had the pleasure of interviewing him a couple of times,
- 1:11:36Speaker 2: so I really hope that this project comes together and
- 1:11:39Speaker 2: that they're able to make some great content.
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: Me too. And I'm just glad that you took lead
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: on this story because in our spreadsheet it looks like
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: Bummy Bums.
- 1:11:52Speaker 2: But it says Bernie Burns.
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: Right, it says Bernie Burns. But the R and the
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: N are so close together that it it's like bummy Bums.
- 1:12:01Speaker 2: You know, I don't have my peepers on. So at
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: my point, I was like, oh, no, did I write
- 1:12:06Speaker 2: bummy Bums?
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: If you did, that would be your new name. No, no,
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: you didn't, but I would have misread it. So this
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: is why you should talk.
- 1:12:17Speaker 2: More, only for stuff like this.
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, speaking of talking more, Jonathan, we've reached the
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: end of our episode. So how do people reach out
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: to you?
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: Well, now you can't because no, I have erased my
- 1:12:33Speaker 2: presence on the Internet with the exception of this show.
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: And in the world. He's a digital ghost.
- 1:12:40Speaker 2: I'm a ghost on the wind. Okay, So if you
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: want to get in touch with me, the honestly, the
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: easiest way is get in touch with Ariel and then
- 1:12:49Speaker 2: she'll get in touch with me. But if you want
- 1:12:51Speaker 2: to do it yourself, if you're like, no, I'm gonna
- 1:12:54Speaker 2: do it yourself kind of person. You're gonna need to
- 1:12:57Speaker 2: take a trip to New York City. You're going to
- 1:13:00Speaker 2: have to go to the Continental Hotel. When you go
- 1:13:04Speaker 2: in there, you're going to walk up to the front
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: desk and you're going to need to hand over a
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: single gold coin to the concierge and say I'm here
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: for a meeting. They the concierge will say, ah, yes,
- 1:13:17Speaker 2: right this way, and we'll escort you to a lounge
- 1:13:20Speaker 2: that's off the main lobby area of the Continental. There
- 1:13:25Speaker 2: you're going to sit down and watch as outside the Continental,
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: right there on the street, a whole bunch of different
- 1:13:32Speaker 2: professional assassins are going to be busy trying to kill
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: each other to varying degrees of success. And just as
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: that's starting to get boring, you're going to feel a
- 1:13:42Speaker 2: tap on your shoulder and you're going to turn around
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: and that's going to be aerial, and she's going to say, no,
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: this is still the only way you can do it.
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: Tell me how what you want, and I'll get in
- 1:13:50Speaker 2: touch with him.
