Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Welcome to the Large Nerdon Collider Podcast, the
0:14
Speaker 1: podcast that's all about the peaky things happening in the
0:16
Speaker 1: world around us and how very excited we are about them.
0:19
Speaker 1: I'm Ariel Caston, and with me, as always, is the
0:22
Speaker 1: ever patient and delightful Jonathan Strickland.
0:26
Speaker 2: I'm fancy Like Applebee's on a date night.
0:29
Speaker 1: He's been listening to some hip hop country. Is that right?
0:34
Speaker 3: Yeah?
0:34
Speaker 2: I mean it's a really people out there who are
0:37
Speaker 2: familiar with the song know exactly what I'm already referencing.
0:41
Speaker 2: If you don't, you can just go on YouTube and
0:44
Speaker 2: do a search for the song. Fancy Like It's dumb.
0:47
Speaker 2: It's a dumb, dumb song. And I am not a
0:49
Speaker 2: country music fan for the most part. But for some reason,
0:54
Speaker 2: YouTube flagged that song as being one to put into
0:58
Speaker 2: my like suggested plays, which I listen to on occasion
1:01
Speaker 2: when I'm taking my dog on a walk, I'll put
1:04
Speaker 2: on YouTube music because I'm a subscriber, and I just
1:07
Speaker 2: put it on that so I can discover stuff, right,
1:10
Speaker 2: And for some reason, it thinks I want to discover
1:13
Speaker 2: novelty country music songs and I don't, uh.
1:20
Speaker 3: You do well?
1:21
Speaker 2: That song it's it's so it is very catchy and
1:26
Speaker 2: it is like funny on a very surface level, like
1:30
Speaker 2: it's it's playing into a lot of like white trash
1:33
Speaker 2: tropes unfortunately, but it is kind of funny at that
1:37
Speaker 2: surface level. It is kind of a novelty song. So
1:40
Speaker 2: there are parts of it where I'm like, I should
1:43
Speaker 2: not like this at all, but I am kind of
1:45
Speaker 2: entertained by it. But it's not I don't want YouTube
1:48
Speaker 2: to start grabbing other stuff like it, like I would
1:51
Speaker 2: much rather get back to, you know, the stuff that
1:54
Speaker 2: I tend to enjoy more, which includes everything from folk
2:00
Speaker 2: to punk rock to glam to new wave, that kind
2:03
Speaker 2: of stuff. Yeah, and maybe maybe leave the novelty country alone.
2:08
Speaker 1: So I don't mind country. I actually like a good
2:11
Speaker 1: bit of like nerdcore rap and other rep too. It
2:14
Speaker 1: really depends on the song. There are very few artists
2:18
Speaker 1: that I like across the boarder like their songs. I
2:19
Speaker 1: love Old Town Road. But yeah, when it's when it's
2:22
Speaker 1: one of those novelty mashups, it's got to be real
2:25
Speaker 1: clever or I'm like, you're just doing this to capitalize,
2:28
Speaker 1: and there's it doesn't feel like there's artistry behind it,
2:30
Speaker 1: so I get that.
2:32
Speaker 3: Yeah. And to be clear, like I like old country.
2:36
Speaker 2: Music, like the stuff that's getting close to you know,
2:39
Speaker 2: bluegrass kind of style, or or the the Hank Williams
2:44
Speaker 2: Senior kind of stuff. Like I dig that that music,
2:49
Speaker 2: but I'm not as big a fan of modern country.
2:52
Speaker 2: There's some stuff that kind of touches on country that
2:55
Speaker 2: that's been out for the I guess last thirty or
2:58
Speaker 2: forty years that I do dig.
2:59
Speaker 3: I mean Ali is always going to have a place
3:01
Speaker 3: in my heart.
3:02
Speaker 1: For example, what about like Goodbye Earl?
3:05
Speaker 2: Okay, awesome song Goodbye Earl by the Chicks, fantastic song.
3:10
Speaker 3: I love that song.
3:11
Speaker 2: I really really love the version that's done by me
3:16
Speaker 2: first and the Gimmy Gimmes, which is kind of a
3:18
Speaker 2: super band. It's made up of members of other bands
3:21
Speaker 2: and they come together and they do a sort of
3:25
Speaker 2: power pop garage rock kind of covers of various songs
3:32
Speaker 2: and different genres. They've done musicals, they've done country, and
3:36
Speaker 2: they do a great version of Goodbye Earl. But the
3:38
Speaker 2: original is also awesome. So I do like that one.
3:40
Speaker 3: Yeah.
3:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, And there's some Shania Twain that made it, like
3:43
Speaker 1: to popular radio that I also like so like.
3:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you're right still the one I know, that
3:48
Speaker 2: one I can you.
3:49
Speaker 1: Know or don't impress me much or I don't know
3:52
Speaker 1: if Shania did it, but the one like I dug
3:54
Speaker 1: my keys into the side of his pretty loose.
3:58
Speaker 3: Well.
3:58
Speaker 2: There's also there's also one that was done by count
4:00
Speaker 2: I can't even remember which country music star did it,
4:03
Speaker 2: but there's a song called.
4:07
Speaker 3: Cry.
4:08
Speaker 2: If you cry, just a little lie, just a little
4:10
Speaker 2: pretend that you're feeling just a little more pain is
4:12
Speaker 2: the way the lyrics go. That song's originally by an
4:15
Speaker 2: Atlanta based artist who's not a country music artist named
4:18
Speaker 2: Angie Aparo, and he is phenomenal and I'm a huge
4:22
Speaker 2: Angie Aparo fan. I was a big fan of his
4:25
Speaker 2: in his you know, just his burgeoning Atlantic career, and
4:28
Speaker 2: it blew my mind. One day when I was in
4:31
Speaker 2: some place and the country, the female country music version
4:36
Speaker 2: of that song came over the sound system and I
4:38
Speaker 2: was like, Oh, good on you, Angie, you sold your song.
4:42
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so I guess you know, like I said,
4:45
Speaker 1: it's song depending it sounds like it is for you too,
4:48
Speaker 1: but hey, this isn't a country music podcast. I guess
4:52
Speaker 1: it could be some people are very geeky about country music.
4:55
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, it's a geek media podcast, so we should
5:02
Speaker 1: maybe jump into that.
5:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's do it.
5:04
Speaker 2: So we're gonna start with our thirty seconds or Less segment,
5:07
Speaker 2: and I decided to overcorrect for my loquacious past in
5:14
Speaker 2: this segment because, as some of y'all have noticed, my
5:18
Speaker 2: thirty seconds are less tends to be. I'll talk about
5:22
Speaker 2: it for as long as I want to.
5:23
Speaker 3: So here we go.
5:24
Speaker 1: Now self conscious, I'm gonna set a time or two.
5:28
Speaker 3: Here's my first one and go.
5:31
Speaker 2: This week, Warner Brothers Discovery announced that the new unified
5:34
Speaker 2: streaming service we've all been hearing about is going to
5:36
Speaker 2: be called Max, and it launches on May twenty third.
5:40
Speaker 2: HBO Max subscribers will become Max subscribers at no extra cost.
5:46
Speaker 2: That's nine dollars ninety nine cents per month with ads,
5:48
Speaker 2: fifteen ninety nine per month without ads, and there's a
5:52
Speaker 2: new nineteen ninety nine per month level if you need
5:54
Speaker 2: to stream to four four K televisions at the same
5:57
Speaker 2: time for some reason.
5:59
Speaker 1: Done brilliant. Next, we got news that House of the
6:04
Speaker 1: Dragons Season two is starting to film. We knew back
6:08
Speaker 1: when the first one ended that there would be a
6:09
Speaker 1: little bit of a break between the first and the second.
6:11
Speaker 1: They say, all your favorite characters are back. So maybe
6:14
Speaker 1: I haven't watched it. Maybe it's not as deadly as
6:17
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones. But if you like House of the Dragon,
6:20
Speaker 1: that's great news. And if you like people in it,
6:22
Speaker 1: that's great news because you get to see him again.
6:24
Speaker 1: I'm going to do a critical or orl Jester thing.
6:26
Speaker 1: I have six more seconds, So do do you do? Do?
6:29
Speaker 2: Do?
6:29
Speaker 3: Do? Do? Do?
6:30
Speaker 1: Pretending I was setting. Okay, nobody gets that wasn't a
6:32
Speaker 1: good reference.
6:33
Speaker 2: Okay, donuts, yeah, throw donuts at the end. Just just
6:39
Speaker 2: super quick addition. Maybe the reason why all their favorites
6:42
Speaker 2: will be returning is they've only been killing off the
6:44
Speaker 2: ones everyone hates so far. Smart Yeah, okay, here we
6:48
Speaker 2: go my next one. Hey you got Stranger Things on
6:52
Speaker 2: my cartoons? Hey you've got cartoons in my Stranger Things?
6:57
Speaker 3: Same yep.
7:00
Speaker 2: Earlier this week, Netflix announced it has ordered an animated
7:03
Speaker 2: series based on Stranger Things.
7:05
Speaker 3: That the series will be in.
7:06
Speaker 2: The vein of Saturday Morning Cartoons and it will keep
7:09
Speaker 2: the eighties nostalgia going strong, and that is all we know,
7:13
Speaker 2: we don't know if any of the cast are coming
7:15
Speaker 2: in to do voice for it, but cool idea.
7:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm excited something that many people are excited for.
7:25
Speaker 1: And I don't know if we covered it last week
7:27
Speaker 1: when we talked about Disney Star Wars celebration, but bad
7:30
Speaker 1: Batch is getting season three renewal. They showed a trailer
7:35
Speaker 1: at celebration. I don't think we've seen it yet. It'll
7:37
Speaker 1: air in twenty twenty four and it will be the
7:40
Speaker 1: final season. I haven't watched bad Batch. We have like
7:44
Speaker 1: ten seconds, have you, Jonathan.
7:46
Speaker 3: I haven't. I haven't watched any of bad Batch.
7:48
Speaker 1: Either, but I've heard it's good, so maybe i'll binge
7:51
Speaker 1: it once the third season is out.
7:54
Speaker 3: Cool Donuts, Donuts, Here we go.
8:00
Speaker 2: Hey you got Sebastian stan on My Maria Bekhlova, Hey
8:04
Speaker 2: you got Marie?
8:04
Speaker 3: Okay, never mind.
8:05
Speaker 2: So Stan and Bekhlova have been cast in a spy
8:09
Speaker 2: comedy film for Paramount. It's a film that hasn't been
8:12
Speaker 2: written yet, but they've been cast in it. Jenny Biggs
8:16
Speaker 2: has been tapped to write the script. You might know
8:18
Speaker 2: her work for writing for Sex and the City. She
8:21
Speaker 2: also created the series Men in trees, and again we
8:25
Speaker 2: know very little except it's a spy comedy.
8:29
Speaker 1: Okay, Next, you've got some Stephen Stefan kapakick on my
8:34
Speaker 1: Marina backer. You got some Marina background, I might now,
8:38
Speaker 1: so we know that Marina backround and Steph Kapakik, who
8:40
Speaker 1: are Vanessa and Colossus in Deadpool one and two? We'll
8:45
Speaker 1: be back for Deadpool three. The article on IGN says
8:49
Speaker 1: this is like the third X Men character to make
8:52
Speaker 1: it into the official MCU. I feel like this one's cheating, though,
8:55
Speaker 1: because it's not like pulling out of one property and
8:58
Speaker 1: putting into another. He's been in all the Deadpool movies,
9:02
Speaker 1: so it doesn't feel like an official MCU, even though
9:04
Speaker 1: Deadpool's part. I don't know, I'm rambling the end.
9:09
Speaker 3: I will say that.
9:10
Speaker 2: I will say that I saw a clip of Marina
9:13
Speaker 2: Beaker on another podcast that was not that long ago,
9:17
Speaker 2: where at that point she still wasn't sure if they
9:19
Speaker 2: were going to be able to come to an agreement.
9:21
Speaker 2: So I'm glad that they were because I love her.
9:25
Speaker 2: I think she's a great actress, and I would love
9:28
Speaker 2: to see her show up at the MCU, even if
9:30
Speaker 2: it's just for a moment, I agree. Okay, here we
9:33
Speaker 2: go with my next one. So remember a few years
9:35
Speaker 2: ago when we found out that Lady Gaga was going
9:38
Speaker 2: to be in American Horror Story and we all kind
9:40
Speaker 2: of wondered if she could act, as if that's even
9:43
Speaker 2: important in American Horror Story. Well now we can have
9:47
Speaker 2: the exact same conversation, except we replace Lady Gaga with
9:51
Speaker 2: Kim Kardashian because she's going to be part of the
9:54
Speaker 2: show's twelfth season.
9:55
Speaker 3: I cannot believe that show has been on for twelve Also,
10:00
Speaker 3: I can't stand that show.
10:03
Speaker 1: I can't watch the show. It's too scary. But yeah,
10:05
Speaker 1: I have no it does not feel like it's been
10:07
Speaker 1: that long. Okay, Next, Wicked filmmaker John m chu who
10:14
Speaker 1: you know, we're getting Wicked Part one and two the
10:16
Speaker 1: movies coming out soon. It has already decided what his
10:19
Speaker 1: next movie is going to be once he's done with that,
10:24
Speaker 1: and it's going to be Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor
10:26
Speaker 1: dream Coat. I think that's I enjoyed that musical. I've
10:29
Speaker 1: been in that musical. I was Missus Potipher plus the
10:31
Speaker 1: Tamago Dancer, plus like I had so many quick changes.
10:34
Speaker 2: In that show.
10:35
Speaker 1: It was ridiculously fun. Anyhow, On the one hand, I'm
10:38
Speaker 1: super excited for him to take it and revive it.
10:41
Speaker 1: On the other hand, PBS already did a really great
10:43
Speaker 1: version of that with Joan Crawford and Donnie Osmond way
10:46
Speaker 1: back when. So don't know if he can beat it.
10:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, all I know is when I saw
10:52
Speaker 2: this news, I closed my eyes and drew back the curtain.
10:56
Speaker 3: M right.
10:58
Speaker 2: So you're a walking down the street and you've got
11:01
Speaker 2: twenty grand or so burning a hole in your pocket.
11:04
Speaker 3: What do you spend it on? Well?
11:06
Speaker 2: Might I suggest one of these fine Marvel figurines made
11:10
Speaker 2: by Swarowski. Yes, you can buy what I think is
11:14
Speaker 2: a really gaudy pendent necklace made of Swarovski crystals in
11:18
Speaker 2: the shape of various Marvel characters, if you have about
11:22
Speaker 2: twenty three thousand.
11:23
Speaker 3: Dollars to drop. That is, I don't like them, so I.
11:30
Speaker 1: Have to interject a little bit. I know it's three
11:32
Speaker 1: seconds or less. But the pendants like the pal One
11:36
Speaker 1: or the Spider Man or the Black Panther pendants that
11:38
Speaker 1: are just like the little pave sort of things, they're
11:41
Speaker 1: more like one hundred and seventy five dollars. It's the
11:44
Speaker 1: Hulk is like seven hundred, and then the twenty three
11:47
Speaker 1: grand ones are the like figurine of Captain Marvel and
11:51
Speaker 1: Spider Man, and those are like made up of thousands
11:53
Speaker 1: and thousands and thousands of Swarbowski crystal.
11:56
Speaker 2: Which you know, I don't know. You can't convince me
12:02
Speaker 2: that Swarovski crystals are really worth that much, but that's
12:04
Speaker 2: maybe maybe I'm just to a point where I'm like,
12:07
Speaker 2: and nothing's worth nothing no more.
12:09
Speaker 1: I like some of their figurines, and I like some
12:11
Speaker 1: of their jewelry, although I would not buy that jewelry
12:14
Speaker 1: particularly even though I like that. Sorry, Okay, next thing.
12:19
Speaker 1: So you know how we talked about Harry Potter getting
12:22
Speaker 1: a TV show on HBO Max. Well, apparently they're getting
12:26
Speaker 1: ten years worth of TV show with JK. Rowling as
12:30
Speaker 1: executive producer, and I just like, I know they can't
12:35
Speaker 1: divorce her from it, but I wish they could because
12:40
Speaker 1: all of all of her transphobic stuff, aside which I
12:43
Speaker 1: think she's she's been rather hateful personally. The story she's
12:49
Speaker 1: writing lately all are very suss and don't need to
12:54
Speaker 1: be so.
12:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree on everything. We have trans friends, and
13:04
Speaker 2: I can't support anyone who uses their platform to essentially
13:10
Speaker 2: dismiss people I love in my life. I'm not gonna
13:13
Speaker 2: do that. But also I agree with you, like even
13:17
Speaker 2: on reflection, and I'm not saying this is someone like, Oh,
13:20
Speaker 2: she's terrible. So now I don't like her work anymore.
13:22
Speaker 2: Even at the time, while I was reading the original
13:25
Speaker 2: Harry Potter series, I felt like they peaked at book
13:28
Speaker 2: three slash four, and then we're on a downward slope
13:32
Speaker 2: after that, and I haven't none of her other work
13:36
Speaker 2: has resonated with me, So this does not fill me
13:39
Speaker 2: with excitement either.
13:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, honestly, I know this is the thirty seconds or
13:43
Speaker 1: less I have to add back into this. You know
13:44
Speaker 1: what I think it is. I think it's lazy writing
13:47
Speaker 1: because even if she so like a video game that
13:51
Speaker 1: came out recently that was Harry Potter also got pined
13:54
Speaker 1: for being anti Semitic, right whether or not she tended
14:00
Speaker 1: to be. If she is using harmful stereotypes to make
14:04
Speaker 1: her writing easier, that's not great, that's not good.
14:09
Speaker 2: So well, let me talk about some fantasy that you
14:13
Speaker 2: could feel good about.
14:15
Speaker 3: Right now as we record this episode.
14:17
Speaker 2: The Lord of the Rings Return of the King film
14:19
Speaker 2: from two thousand and three is back in at least
14:22
Speaker 2: some regal cinemas theaters, and that's because it's the movie's
14:25
Speaker 2: twentieth anniversary. Plus it sounds like this is the director's cut,
14:29
Speaker 2: which is a whopping two hundred and sixty minutes long.
14:32
Speaker 3: If you want to see this movie.
14:34
Speaker 2: With all eighteen of its endings, you have until April twentieth,
14:39
Speaker 2: if there's a regal cinemas showing it near you.
14:44
Speaker 1: I rewatched these recently, I'm good. Something I didn't re
14:49
Speaker 1: and I watched them originally in the theater. Something I
14:52
Speaker 1: didn't watch, unfortunately, and honestly didn't even realize that it
14:56
Speaker 1: had left the theaters already is Shazam Fury of the Gods,
15:01
Speaker 1: which is a sequel to the first Zam DC movie.
15:04
Speaker 1: But it's gotten its release date of May twenty third
15:08
Speaker 1: to streaming on HBO Max slash Max. So if you
15:12
Speaker 1: didn't catch it in theater, if it's not in a
15:14
Speaker 1: theater near you, and you don't want to buy it
15:16
Speaker 1: for twenty dollars on Prime video or rented or whatever,
15:21
Speaker 1: then you can watch it on streaming in about a month.
15:24
Speaker 3: Cool. All right.
15:26
Speaker 2: Now, we have known that Marvel has a Blade movie
15:29
Speaker 2: coming out. We've known that for ages, but beyond that,
15:32
Speaker 2: we've had very little information, partly because it sounds like
15:35
Speaker 2: stuff behind the scenes went wonky.
15:37
Speaker 3: There were like rewrites and stuff.
15:39
Speaker 2: And now we knowe that Mia Goth, which is you know,
15:41
Speaker 2: Ty West's leading lady in films like Ex and Pearl,
15:45
Speaker 2: is a late addition to the production.
15:48
Speaker 3: Now.
15:48
Speaker 2: As of now, the movie is still aiming to release
15:50
Speaker 2: on September sixth, twenty twenty four. Do not be shocked
15:54
Speaker 2: if that date moves.
15:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to be in it. It hasn't started
15:59
Speaker 1: filming Swelling Atlanta right in. I don't know. I'm stealing
16:04
Speaker 1: messed up for by body today. Okay, Redfield is out.
16:08
Speaker 1: We all know this because I've been very excited about it.
16:10
Speaker 1: I haven't watched it yet. But there's also a video game,
16:14
Speaker 1: So if you want to pretend to be Renfield, you
16:19
Speaker 1: can buy a five dollars Steam video game and walk
16:22
Speaker 1: around New Orleans trying to find your boss and the
16:24
Speaker 1: coattering gangs and adventure time.
16:29
Speaker 2: We well that I mean, as exciting as that is,
16:37
Speaker 2: I I don't I don't really have a desire to
16:42
Speaker 2: play that Nicholas Cage title as a game. What I
16:50
Speaker 2: want is the His What was that the The Empire's Kiss?
16:55
Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no, not that one either. What
16:59
Speaker 2: was the unbearable weight of massive talent?
17:02
Speaker 3: That one?
17:02
Speaker 2: I want that game where you can you can choose
17:06
Speaker 2: from one of like thirty different Nicholas Cage skins to
17:09
Speaker 2: play through the game.
17:12
Speaker 1: I haven't watched that movie yet, and it's breaking my heart.
17:17
Speaker 2: I need, Yeah, I need to see it too, Like
17:19
Speaker 2: it's that was on my list of movies that I
17:22
Speaker 2: was potentially going to go to the theater to see.
17:24
Speaker 2: But as we all know, I have only done that.
17:28
Speaker 2: I did it for the Menu. Have I done it
17:29
Speaker 2: for anything else?
17:30
Speaker 3: I can't. I can't even think of Barian.
17:34
Speaker 2: Yes, I saw Barbarian and I saw the menu, and
17:37
Speaker 2: and I like the Menu way more than I like Barbarian.
17:41
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people who really love Barbarian,
17:42
Speaker 2: and I've heard their their arguments. They're all really good.
17:46
Speaker 2: But at the time when I was watching, I found
17:50
Speaker 2: the middle of that movie frustrating, which again was intended
17:54
Speaker 2: like that was the purpose of it, but it didn't.
17:58
Speaker 2: It didn't then transform into delight. For me, I was
18:02
Speaker 2: just mad.
18:04
Speaker 1: I get that. I get that way on some movies. Definitely.
18:08
Speaker 1: I've been to the movie theater more right. Okay, actually
18:11
Speaker 1: that's the end of our thirty seconds or last, which
18:13
Speaker 1: leads into whatever we watched. And I actually did go
18:15
Speaker 1: to the movie theater last weekend.
18:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ariel failed her saving throw against schlocky fantasy films.
18:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a little schlocky. It was also a
18:26
Speaker 1: lot of fun the general. I saw a D and
18:28
Speaker 1: D on Our among Thieves, which I was lazy when
18:31
Speaker 1: I was putting together my adventuring party for that fora
18:34
Speaker 1: and called it D and D Ham, but it would
18:36
Speaker 1: be D and D hat. But now I really want
18:40
Speaker 1: like a D and D sub Maybe I'll watch Role
18:43
Speaker 1: for Sandwich and he'll come up with D and D
18:44
Speaker 1: ham Sandwich. But the group of people I saw with
18:51
Speaker 1: my intrepid adventurer friends and I all agreed that it
18:57
Speaker 1: was better than we expected it to be. One of
19:02
Speaker 1: the interesting things is that the jokes that failed so
19:05
Speaker 1: hard for Jonathan and honestly for me too and the
19:07
Speaker 1: trailers were still in the movie, but contextually and with
19:11
Speaker 1: different punchlines, they were better, and they played well, my
19:18
Speaker 1: friends all thought that Chris Pine was the weakest actor,
19:20
Speaker 1: which surprised me. But I thought everybody did a really
19:24
Speaker 1: great job and I had a lot of fun. And
19:26
Speaker 1: I have mixed emotions about all of the practical effects
19:28
Speaker 1: they used, because like the Dragon Borne and the eric
19:32
Speaker 1: Okra looked great to me, but the Tobacxi kind of
19:34
Speaker 1: looked like high school mascots. But I appreciate I appreciate
19:40
Speaker 1: them not doing everything in CGI.
19:42
Speaker 3: I really liked it.
19:43
Speaker 1: The Paladin was my favorite character.
19:45
Speaker 2: I feel like the Tobacxi should have all just been
19:48
Speaker 2: clearly edits from the Cat's film.
19:54
Speaker 1: You know, my husband said the same thing, and I
19:58
Speaker 1: can't agree.
19:59
Speaker 2: That was two No, Nope, I just think it'd be
20:03
Speaker 2: great if your party ran into the rum Tom Tugger.
20:09
Speaker 1: Listen. Okay, So watch D and D. It's fun. It's
20:13
Speaker 1: interesting because they really did One. You can tell the
20:16
Speaker 1: people who wrote it really like D and D and
20:18
Speaker 1: have a good understanding of it. And two, they really
20:20
Speaker 1: did try to make it accessible to people who are
20:23
Speaker 1: fans of the franchise and those who are not but
20:25
Speaker 1: might like a good fantasy movie. So well done on them.
20:28
Speaker 2: I have heard lots of positive reactions to this movie.
20:31
Speaker 2: A lot of people have really enjoyed it. There have
20:34
Speaker 2: been a lot of videos about the various Easter eggs
20:37
Speaker 2: that are in there, including some pretty deep cuts. But
20:39
Speaker 2: there are a lot of references to D and D
20:42
Speaker 2: lore throughout the movie from what I understand, So I
20:45
Speaker 2: do look forward to seeing it. You know, it's it's
20:49
Speaker 2: certainly a much more worthy film adaptation than the film
20:54
Speaker 2: from two thousand.
20:55
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, there is no comparison. There's absolutely no comparison.
21:01
Speaker 3: Yeah.
21:02
Speaker 2: As for myself, the only thing really of note that.
21:05
Speaker 2: I mean, I've watched some more horror movies recently, but
21:08
Speaker 2: they were older ones and I can't even like, I
21:11
Speaker 2: remember I watched Smile, which I thought was interesting, it
21:16
Speaker 2: felt a little too it follows to me, and it
21:18
Speaker 2: follows as a much better movie in my opinion. In
21:21
Speaker 2: my opinion, it is, but I can't remember what else
21:25
Speaker 2: I remember. I watched a couple of horror movies. Oh,
21:27
Speaker 2: I watched Terrifier two, and I do not recommend it
21:32
Speaker 2: unless you are an absolute fan of gore based horror,
21:37
Speaker 2: because that's kind of all the movie has going for it.
21:40
Speaker 2: And I am not like, I mean, I'm fine with Gore,
21:44
Speaker 2: but I need more than that to make a horror
21:47
Speaker 2: movie entertaining to me, and so I did not really
21:50
Speaker 2: find that one entertaining. But the other thing I did
21:53
Speaker 2: watch was the third episode of Schmaicago, the second season
21:57
Speaker 2: of Schmig a Doon, and I can just say that
22:00
Speaker 2: so far, shm Caago season two is an improvement over
22:04
Speaker 2: season one in pretty much every way. I enjoyed season
22:08
Speaker 2: one when I finally watched it, I liked it, but
22:11
Speaker 2: season two is delighting me.
22:14
Speaker 3: With all the.
22:15
Speaker 2: References and the parodies. I'm really digging it, and I
22:21
Speaker 2: hope it can sustain that for three more episodes.
22:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I need to get on that.
22:30
Speaker 3: It's good. It's good, Ariel.
22:31
Speaker 2: Like like I said, the first season is it's entertaining,
22:36
Speaker 2: it's a lot of fun, but I felt like it
22:41
Speaker 2: was maybe seventy percent of the way where it needed
22:44
Speaker 2: to be, and this one, I feel like, no, they're
22:46
Speaker 2: they're exactly where they need to be for season two.
22:49
Speaker 1: Gotcha, gotcha. That's that's awesome news. I did also start
22:55
Speaker 1: watching the latest season of Doom Patrol, which I had
23:01
Speaker 1: fallen woefully behind on, and I'm enjoying that, and I
23:06
Speaker 1: watched Jake Gillenhall's Hot Ones last night, which was the
23:12
Speaker 1: end of this current season of it, and he was
23:14
Speaker 1: a delight to watch. He was very funny, and not
23:17
Speaker 1: just because he quoted court Chester.
23:20
Speaker 2: There are a lot of good interviews this past season.
23:23
Speaker 2: I really liked Florence Pugh's episode quite a bit. She
23:27
Speaker 2: was really funny and her coping mechanisms were a lot
23:32
Speaker 2: of fun to watch. Yeah.
23:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like Jake gillen Hall because he didn't get
23:37
Speaker 1: mad at the host purposefully.
23:41
Speaker 3: Like why did you do this to me? Yeah?
23:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, and if you haven't ever watched Hot Ones, like,
23:49
Speaker 2: first of all, what a great premise. The idea of
23:53
Speaker 2: conducting an interview while eating a series of sequentially spicier
23:58
Speaker 2: hot wings, fantastic idea, really takes it really gets.
24:02
Speaker 3: The guard down for a lot of people.
24:04
Speaker 2: But on top of that, Sean Evans, who's the host,
24:07
Speaker 2: he and his team do such phenomenal research that consistently
24:13
Speaker 2: interview subjects are surprised and delighted by the questions he asks.
24:17
Speaker 2: So if you have never watched Hot Ones, you should
24:19
Speaker 2: definitely go check it out there. You know, there's like
24:23
Speaker 2: hundreds of episodes at this point, I think they've been
24:25
Speaker 2: doing it for like seventeen seasons.
24:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Okay, well, we have so much news to
24:31
Speaker 1: get through. Let's that's not thirty seconds or less. Let's start,
24:38
Speaker 1: and first we'll start with a new Peter Pan and
24:40
Speaker 1: Wendy trailer.
24:42
Speaker 3: Yep, I liked it.
24:43
Speaker 1: What do you think I liked it too? Maybe we
24:45
Speaker 1: should have put that in thirtys.
24:48
Speaker 2: I mean, like we've talked about this before. You know,
24:51
Speaker 2: obviously this is another live action remake, if you will,
24:56
Speaker 2: of a Disney classic, because it's not like they went
24:59
Speaker 2: back to the source material from the get go and
25:02
Speaker 2: just from the ground up created a new Peter Pan story.
25:06
Speaker 2: They are leaning heavily on some of the famous iconic
25:11
Speaker 2: imagery of the Disney animated film, including like the trailer
25:18
Speaker 2: shows that there's going to be the moment of hook
25:21
Speaker 2: pose poised precariously over the crocodile's mouth, as both feet
25:26
Speaker 2: are on like either side of the crocodile's jaws, so
25:30
Speaker 2: he's so he's kind of suspended above the crocodile's open mouth.
25:34
Speaker 2: That is in the trailer, and that's a famous sequence
25:37
Speaker 2: in the cartoon version as well. And as I've said
25:40
Speaker 2: in the past, like, I actually really like it when
25:42
Speaker 2: they move further away from the source material for their
25:47
Speaker 2: their imagery once like a nod or two is fine,
25:51
Speaker 2: but I don't want to have a shot for shot
25:53
Speaker 2: remake situation going on. Fortunately, it looks like a lot
25:57
Speaker 2: of this movie is not going to be that. And
26:01
Speaker 2: I again, I'm really digging the diversity of the cast
26:06
Speaker 2: because it feels nice to see fantasy that isn't just
26:13
Speaker 2: completely made up of white performers, because it starts to
26:19
Speaker 2: get really icky if you start thinking about that for
26:21
Speaker 2: more than two seconds about yeah, oh fantasy that should
26:25
Speaker 2: just be a white thing, Like okay, white fantasy, You're
26:29
Speaker 2: starting to sound really not cool right now.
26:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the casting looks great. The thing I'll
26:36
Speaker 1: say is like in all the trailers, the cast looks
26:39
Speaker 1: like they're having fun with it. Yeah, and I like that,
26:43
Speaker 1: which is not something I felt for the D and
26:45
Speaker 1: D movie based on the trailers, although they obviously did.
26:50
Speaker 1: But yeah, I like it. The one thing that's interesting
26:53
Speaker 1: to me, and maybe I just missed it or overlooked it,
26:55
Speaker 1: is in the cartoon, like the original story of Peter Pan,
26:58
Speaker 1: the original play slash story, He's not not good. He's
27:01
Speaker 1: a little better in Disney's version. One of the stories
27:05
Speaker 1: they slightly improved. But it doesn't look like in this
27:09
Speaker 1: version that tinker Bell is super snotty. Maybe they just
27:14
Speaker 1: haven't shown that. Maybe I overlooked it. But like if
27:17
Speaker 1: you watch most versions of Peter Pan, she's she's like
27:21
Speaker 1: a little sith. She's like a little winged sith.
27:25
Speaker 2: So you could you could maybe think of her at
27:28
Speaker 2: best as Braddy.
27:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, like pure, pure emotion, but also very egotistical and
27:35
Speaker 1: selfish like Peter. So I'll be interested interesting to see
27:40
Speaker 1: how that does. But you know, Jonathan, you said you're
27:42
Speaker 1: not a fan of things that just stick to the
27:44
Speaker 1: source material, and I know you're worried about that with
27:46
Speaker 1: a Little Mermaid, But it looks like they are making
27:49
Speaker 1: some changes. They want to update the Little Mermaid's motivations
27:55
Speaker 1: to go on land a little bit, and also are
27:58
Speaker 1: changing some of the lyrics and some of the songs.
28:01
Speaker 2: And I have feelings about this. For one, I feel
28:05
Speaker 2: like so I'm not objecting to their changes or anything,
28:09
Speaker 2: but I feel like it's doing a bit of disservice
28:12
Speaker 2: to the original film not to change it. I think
28:15
Speaker 2: that's fine, But to suggest that the original film failed
28:19
Speaker 2: in some of those ways, maybe it didn't make it
28:22
Speaker 2: obvious enough, and that's a fine argument to make. But
28:26
Speaker 2: I always felt that Ariel the Mermaid had already wanted
28:31
Speaker 2: to journey to the human world because she was fascinated
28:35
Speaker 2: by the human world and saw it as this place
28:38
Speaker 2: of adventure and discovery, whereas her own environment was familiar
28:44
Speaker 2: and mundane to her, and that she then subsequently becomes
28:51
Speaker 2: enamored with Prince Eric, but before she even sets eyes
28:56
Speaker 2: on him, she's already fascinated by it. So to me,
28:58
Speaker 2: her motivations were always that she wanted to be in
29:02
Speaker 2: the human realm from the get go, and that the
29:06
Speaker 2: love story was on top of that, whereas a lot
29:08
Speaker 2: of the criticism was that, oh, this is yet another
29:11
Speaker 2: Disney story where your female protagonist has no purpose until
29:18
Speaker 2: she encounters a man and then that's what changes everything.
29:22
Speaker 2: And I think that's giving the original movie too little credit.
29:26
Speaker 2: But maybe this new version is going to make it
29:29
Speaker 2: far more apparent and an overtly textual instead of like
29:36
Speaker 2: subtext or whatever, to show that no, she's got these ambitions.
29:41
Speaker 1: So I agree she did like the world, But what
29:44
Speaker 1: made her change. Her entire body in life was a dude,
29:49
Speaker 1: was Prince Eric. But in the original, like the very
29:52
Speaker 1: original story, that's the case too. I don't mind that
29:57
Speaker 1: if it's a cautionary like if it's a cautionary tale
30:00
Speaker 1: of like like what Frozen does? Why are you doing this?
30:03
Speaker 1: This isn't smart, right, I don't want them to be
30:06
Speaker 1: overt about it. I don't mind them changing it and
30:08
Speaker 1: adding that in. But if it's like if it's not
30:11
Speaker 1: done well, if it's just very blatant so that you
30:14
Speaker 1: cannot miss it hit you in the face with the
30:16
Speaker 1: two by four, it's not going to be fun to watch,
30:18
Speaker 1: you know. It has to also serve the storytelling. The
30:23
Speaker 1: interesting thing about songs, I'm okay with them changing the
30:25
Speaker 1: song lyrics. They did it in Aladdin two Aladdin as well,
30:29
Speaker 1: not a Latin too, But in the live action Aladdin
30:33
Speaker 1: they changed some of the lyrics, especially in that opening song.
30:36
Speaker 3: Well, they changed that.
30:38
Speaker 2: They changed that the opening song even between when it
30:41
Speaker 2: was theatrically released and when it went out for home release.
30:44
Speaker 2: They changed the lyrics because of the insensitive, racist kind
30:52
Speaker 2: of messaging of that Arabian nights.
30:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is great. I'm glad they did that, So
31:00
Speaker 1: changing lyrics doesn't necessarily mean anything bad exception of the fact.
31:03
Speaker 1: Like so my band covers kiss the Girl when we
31:06
Speaker 1: do Pirate Paloza, we mash it up it with Jimmy
31:08
Speaker 1: Buffett's Pirate looks at forty, And whenever we sing it
31:11
Speaker 1: out of context, my bandmate always goes, this is not
31:14
Speaker 1: a good song, like this is a bad message. But
31:18
Speaker 1: when you put it in context of the movie and
31:19
Speaker 1: the article we link actually kind of talks about this,
31:23
Speaker 1: the av Club article, and they're a little saltier about
31:25
Speaker 1: it than I would be, but like they came out
31:29
Speaker 1: of the ocean. But uh, you know, she wanted the
31:32
Speaker 1: prince to kiss her. She needed the prince to kiss
31:34
Speaker 1: her to break her curse, and he wasn't doing it,
31:36
Speaker 1: so she was getting her friends to help her out.
31:39
Speaker 1: So she was consenting, but.
31:41
Speaker 2: He doesn't know that. Though if he doesn't know she's consenting,
31:45
Speaker 2: it's not consent. That has to be awareness.
31:48
Speaker 1: I feel like she was trying to give him clues
31:51
Speaker 1: and he wasn't picking up on it, and then she
31:52
Speaker 1: was trying to get her friends to make him realize.
31:54
Speaker 3: Which I think I think the problem is is when
31:57
Speaker 3: her friends are saying it, don't take a word, you know,
32:00
Speaker 3: she doesn't have to do anything, Just go ahead kiss her.
32:02
Speaker 3: She's ready for it. Then all he really has to
32:05
Speaker 3: do is say, hey, I would really like to kiss you.
32:08
Speaker 3: Is that all right? And then she could nod or
32:10
Speaker 3: give up thumbs up.
32:12
Speaker 1: If they add that in, that's great, And then they're
32:16
Speaker 1: they're changing something in Poor Unfortunate Souls. And I can't remember,
32:18
Speaker 1: but I'm I'm I'm fine up there.
32:21
Speaker 3: I don't like a lot of blabber true.
32:25
Speaker 1: I'm fine with an evil sea witch thinking that.
32:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, actually, I think I think that's the one that's
32:32
Speaker 2: the most perplexing to me. Like, there's this whole verse
32:34
Speaker 2: where one Ursula is making the argument that men want
32:38
Speaker 2: women who don't speak up, who are silent, you know,
32:43
Speaker 2: the kind who don't speak unless spoken to, and who
32:48
Speaker 2: are there to look pretty Like that's what Ursula is saying,
32:52
Speaker 2: But she's the bad guy, Like you're not supposed to
32:55
Speaker 2: believe her. You with the audience are not supposed to
32:58
Speaker 2: believe her. And so this is a change that I
33:00
Speaker 2: also find a little perplexing, because I think that the
33:05
Speaker 2: villain should be making the bad faith argument that that
33:09
Speaker 2: should be kept in there, that you're not meant to
33:14
Speaker 2: go home thinking, oh, you know that Ursula, she had
33:16
Speaker 2: some really good points.
33:19
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, But that being said, you know, I think
33:23
Speaker 1: Alan Menkin is still working on the music along with
33:25
Speaker 1: lin Manuel Miranda. I'm still looking forward to it. You know,
33:29
Speaker 1: from the latest trailer of The Little Mermaid that came
33:31
Speaker 1: out like a month ago, we got to see Scuttle
33:33
Speaker 1: and Sebastian, and I'm cool with that. Cool with Sebastian
33:37
Speaker 1: being an actual crab and not a lobster. That's fine.
33:40
Speaker 3: It's yeah, it's fine. I will say that.
33:43
Speaker 1: Okay, so I he was kind of a crab, but yeah.
33:46
Speaker 2: I agree in large part with the what not to,
33:50
Speaker 2: Not to go all the way back into it, but
33:52
Speaker 2: I did want to make this comparison. But I do
33:54
Speaker 2: agree in large part about the kiss the girl thing
33:56
Speaker 2: that that's it's pretty clear from the content of the
34:00
Speaker 2: movie that while you have the literal words saying these things,
34:05
Speaker 2: one you imagine Prince Eric can't actually understand Sebastian, like
34:11
Speaker 2: it's probably not a really a singing crab there, that
34:15
Speaker 2: this is a mood that's being set up to try
34:17
Speaker 2: and encourage him to make a romantic gesture, and that
34:21
Speaker 2: the song is really just symbolic of what is happening.
34:26
Speaker 2: And I would say that in that way, it's very
34:28
Speaker 2: similar to the song It's Cold Outside, right, that there
34:34
Speaker 2: are the different ways to look at that song. If
34:36
Speaker 2: you look at it through a modern lens and you're
34:38
Speaker 2: taking every verse literally, and I do this too, you
34:42
Speaker 2: take every verse literally, it does sound an awful lot
34:46
Speaker 2: like a guy trying to coerce a woman into staying
34:49
Speaker 2: when she doesn't want to. But through the performance of
34:53
Speaker 2: that song, and when you take it within the context
34:56
Speaker 2: of when that song was written and what era it was,
35:00
Speaker 2: you know, reflecting, you realize this is really more of
35:03
Speaker 2: a courtship. It's it's two people playing with one another
35:08
Speaker 2: and within the restrictions that they have to deal with
35:12
Speaker 2: based upon the culture of the time. And when you
35:15
Speaker 2: think of it that way, you're like, Okay, in that context,
35:19
Speaker 2: this isn't like some creepy message of you know, trying
35:25
Speaker 2: to do everything you can to make someone change their
35:28
Speaker 2: mind so that they stay and make out with you.
35:30
Speaker 2: So I think that that's very similar. I think it's
35:32
Speaker 2: a very similar kind of situation between those two songs.
35:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but well, you know, we'll have to wait
35:40
Speaker 1: and see what the end result is something. I don't
35:46
Speaker 1: know if we talked about this previously, but we finally.
35:48
Speaker 1: If we didn't, we were talking about it now, and
35:50
Speaker 1: if we did, at least we've got a trailer, which
35:52
Speaker 1: is the Muppets Mayhem Show, which just follows Doctor Teeth
35:57
Speaker 1: in the Electric Mayhem.
36:00
Speaker 3: Yes, that's that's the name of the band.
36:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, it took me a second. It's been a while.
36:05
Speaker 1: And this trailer kind of shows about how like they
36:07
Speaker 1: made music but they never made an album, and then
36:10
Speaker 1: someone tries to modernize them and it doesn't quite work,
36:12
Speaker 1: and then they go back to doing what they love
36:14
Speaker 1: and it looks like a cute It looks like a
36:17
Speaker 1: cute addition to the Muppet verse. It feels very like
36:23
Speaker 1: original Muppet Movie or The Muppets Take Manhattan with the
36:27
Speaker 1: what they show in the trailer and the amount of
36:29
Speaker 1: like celebrity cameos and stuff.
36:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, we talked about briefly when they had the teaser,
36:35
Speaker 2: because the teaser made it look like it was going
36:37
Speaker 2: to be kind of a like a mockumentary. Allah, this
36:41
Speaker 2: is spinal tap and there's clearly some elements of that,
36:44
Speaker 2: Like there's there are some bits where they are having
36:47
Speaker 2: these cameos where musicians are talking about how the Electric
36:52
Speaker 2: Mayhem were such a huge influence on their careers. But
36:56
Speaker 2: a lot of this does appear to be more of
36:58
Speaker 2: like your your classic Muppet It's kind of story where
37:03
Speaker 2: there's this huge goal the characters have and it's really
37:07
Speaker 2: their journey to that goal. So if you think of
37:08
Speaker 2: the original Muppet movie, it was all about making their
37:11
Speaker 2: way from the Oki Finochi swamp, Kerman at least from
37:14
Speaker 2: the Oki Finochi Swamp, all the way out to Hollywood.
37:18
Speaker 2: This it's to finally record that album that that they've
37:23
Speaker 2: never actually got around to recording. And I thought the
37:27
Speaker 2: trailer looked really classic Muppets, Like that sort of chaotic
37:32
Speaker 2: energy I associate with the Muppets appears to be in
37:35
Speaker 2: this this project.
37:37
Speaker 3: And I really like that.
37:38
Speaker 2: I agree.
37:38
Speaker 1: I super agree. Sorry, I had leaned away from my
37:41
Speaker 1: microphone for a second.
37:42
Speaker 2: It's okay, I've got a pick up, So we're we're
37:44
Speaker 2: all we're all struggling right now. Nice.
37:47
Speaker 1: Nice. Something else you get a trailer for is Star
37:50
Speaker 1: Wars Visions. That's that project where a bunch of different
37:55
Speaker 1: animation specialists and artists tell different Star Wars stories in
37:59
Speaker 1: their own styles. The first season, I love the artwork.
38:02
Speaker 1: The stories left me kind of matt so I should
38:06
Speaker 1: know better. But the artwork for the second season.
38:09
Speaker 3: Looks so good.
38:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, I still haven't seen the first season. I'm way
38:14
Speaker 2: so I got so burnt out on Star Wars.
38:17
Speaker 3: I mean, you guys know this.
38:18
Speaker 2: I never watched the last of the main movies, so
38:22
Speaker 2: I'm way behind on Star Wars. But I feel the
38:26
Speaker 2: same way like when I looked at this, like the
38:29
Speaker 2: different art styles, all of them I found appealing in
38:32
Speaker 2: different ways, and they all managed to have little moments
38:37
Speaker 2: of like, oh man, that's so cool.
38:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want to be excited for it because
38:43
Speaker 1: the last time it was like I love this animation,
38:45
Speaker 1: it's just okay, But I'm excited for it. I can't
38:48
Speaker 1: help it. Something so like, something else I didn't think
38:54
Speaker 1: i'd be excited for was the Marvel's movie. Like in concept,
38:58
Speaker 1: I liked it, but in actuality it felt I don't know,
39:03
Speaker 1: it felt too burnouty to me. But we got a
39:08
Speaker 1: trailer for the Marvels and it looks so good. It
39:11
Speaker 1: looks like I don't I don't like in line with
39:16
Speaker 1: like the First Guardians of the Galaxy or Spider Man
39:19
Speaker 1: Homecoming or something. Just that fun is how it looks
39:23
Speaker 1: to me.
39:24
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
39:25
Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, eighty percent of that goes
39:28
Speaker 2: to Kamala Khan. Yeah, Kamala Khan is a delightful character.
39:34
Speaker 2: She's so awkward and dorky and enthusiastic, like she's she's
39:39
Speaker 2: sort of the stand in for the Marvel fan in
39:43
Speaker 2: the MCU right, because she's she herself is a fan
39:47
Speaker 2: of these various superheroes, and and the trailer really plays
39:53
Speaker 2: that up, and that actress is just she's so good
39:57
Speaker 2: at playing that part. Because here's here's the secret. She
40:01
Speaker 2: really is a super fan. I have watched so many
40:04
Speaker 2: videos of people trying to get her with some of
40:07
Speaker 2: the most obscure trivia and she just ratls the fricking
40:09
Speaker 2: answers off. It's amazing. So I give her like eighty
40:15
Speaker 2: percent of the credit. I will also say real quick though,
40:17
Speaker 2: that one of the issues I've had is that Captain Marvel,
40:21
Speaker 2: the character Captain Marvel, hasn't felt very fun to me
40:25
Speaker 2: in her appearances, Like she's she's coming across like the
40:29
Speaker 2: female version of Tony Stark, and.
40:33
Speaker 1: She's personable, like she's just she's just very like task oriented.
40:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, she but but she, you know, very confident and snarky,
40:40
Speaker 2: confidently because she's I mean, come on, she's the most
40:43
Speaker 2: powerful entity that we've encountered so far in the Marvel
40:48
Speaker 2: Cinematic universe. But she's you know, she she rarely comes
40:53
Speaker 2: across as kind of fun, and in this trailer it
40:56
Speaker 2: looks like Brie Larson's given some opportunities to play that up.
41:02
Speaker 2: And I think part of it is this this idea
41:04
Speaker 2: of the powers being entangled, so that when one person
41:08
Speaker 2: activates their powers, it can trigger a switch a rube
41:13
Speaker 2: between them and one of the other two, the three
41:16
Speaker 2: being Miss Marvel, Captain Marvel, and Photon. I guess, I
41:21
Speaker 2: don't know if she's.
41:22
Speaker 1: Got Ana Monica Rambo.
41:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if she's I don't know if
41:26
Speaker 2: she's adopted a superhero name or anything yet, but she's
41:31
Speaker 2: she's the third one.
41:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I was going to say, of course, the
41:34
Speaker 1: actress who plays Kamalakan is a super fan like Marvel
41:38
Speaker 1: started coming out when she was in her very impressionable
41:41
Speaker 1: years if you figure out when like the first Iron
41:43
Speaker 1: Man came out, she was a little But also I agree,
41:47
Speaker 1: I was going to say the exact I'm kind of
41:49
Speaker 1: mad at you, Jonathan for jumping in my head and
41:50
Speaker 1: getting to my point before.
41:52
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm so sorry.
41:53
Speaker 1: No, no, I was going to say the same thing
41:55
Speaker 1: about Carol Danvers and also about Monica Rambo, because they've
41:59
Speaker 1: been put into such situations. First of all, no apologies
42:02
Speaker 1: for you and I being on the same wavelength. I'm
42:05
Speaker 1: just picking on you. Second of all, like I agree,
42:08
Speaker 1: I feel like both of them have been put into
42:10
Speaker 1: like more serious situations and it's fun to see them
42:14
Speaker 1: in like a three stoogous situation and get to have
42:17
Speaker 1: some fun and play around. And same with Nick Fury.
42:20
Speaker 1: Anytime Nick Fury ends up being the fool, it's hilarious.
42:24
Speaker 1: So I don't know if it'll be but in.
42:26
Speaker 2: My head, well, he's definitely sitting there like this situation
42:31
Speaker 2: is so absurd that I don't I don't know if
42:34
Speaker 2: I want to deal with it, and if I do
42:35
Speaker 2: want to, I don't know how I'll deal with it.
42:37
Speaker 2: That's kind of the impression I got. But also I
42:40
Speaker 2: wanted to say that, like Monica Rambo is fantastic in WandaVision,
42:47
Speaker 2: like absolutely amazing in WandaVision. Yes, so I will be
42:52
Speaker 2: very curious to see how it all plays out. But
42:56
Speaker 2: she's a great actress and very charismatic, so I expect
43:00
Speaker 2: that'll be great too.
43:01
Speaker 3: I so I was I think it was.
43:03
Speaker 1: I think it was just the I think it was
43:05
Speaker 1: just the situation she was put into. She was phenomenal,
43:08
Speaker 1: I love her, but it was more serious.
43:10
Speaker 3: Yeah. I love this trailer.
43:13
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to this movie, and I want to
43:17
Speaker 2: give a message to YouTube right now. YouTube stop trying
43:20
Speaker 2: to send me videos from like a bunch of white
43:25
Speaker 2: dudes who are really upset that Marvel is making a
43:30
Speaker 2: movie called the Marvels, to the point where they started
43:33
Speaker 2: calling dismissively calling it the m She you because you
43:38
Speaker 2: guys are jerks and don't like fun and I don't
43:42
Speaker 2: want a Marvel that you guys want, and YouTube.
43:45
Speaker 3: Just stop sending me those videos.
43:47
Speaker 1: Jonathan, this is YouTube. We've heard you and will agree. Thanks,
43:52
Speaker 1: I agree, but you sound like you know when I
43:56
Speaker 1: get upset, I could what usually helps me is having
43:59
Speaker 1: like a nice little snap.
44:01
Speaker 3: And are you are you so we'd like to take
44:06
Speaker 3: a break to thank our sponsor Hello Fresh.
44:08
Speaker 1: They aren't a sponsor, no, but I was Sagueang. So yeah,
44:13
Speaker 1: normally you listen. If you listen to us, you listen
44:15
Speaker 1: to other podcasts. I'm sure, and you know Hello Fresh
44:18
Speaker 1: sponsors everybody. They don't. They are not our sponsor, but
44:21
Speaker 1: they have come out with Guardians of the Galaxy recipes
44:24
Speaker 1: for subscribers, like six of them, and also the Guardians
44:28
Speaker 1: of the Galaxy snack pack that anybody can try to get.
44:32
Speaker 1: On April seventeenth, there's zarg Nuts and like a fizzy
44:37
Speaker 1: mango milky drink.
44:39
Speaker 2: Yeah I did not make sound. Yeah, it's like coconut
44:43
Speaker 2: milk and mango. Yeah, so it's more like like think
44:45
Speaker 2: of like a tropical drink. You would get like akin
44:49
Speaker 2: to something like a virgin Pina colada, but with mango
44:53
Speaker 2: rather than like pineapple. And I look these over aerol,
44:58
Speaker 2: I gotta, I gotta admit like these song good. They do.
45:01
Speaker 1: Like the zarg Net bites are pretzels, cashews, sweet tied
45:06
Speaker 1: chili sauce, and chocolate chips. I would I would go
45:10
Speaker 1: through the pain of eating that because I can't have
45:13
Speaker 1: chili sauce, but it sounds really good. The mango milky fizz,
45:17
Speaker 1: as gross as I made it sound, is apricot jam,
45:20
Speaker 1: coconut milk, Seltzer and mango bits. And they come in
45:24
Speaker 1: like they have like a cute little jar and a
45:26
Speaker 1: cute little like tall milk carton. I'm not a big
45:29
Speaker 1: fan of Seltzer, but it still sounds good. Yeah, these
45:32
Speaker 1: look good and the meals look good. I don't get
45:35
Speaker 1: Hello Fresh, but the meals do look good. My friend
45:37
Speaker 1: has Hello Fresh and they're going to tell me all
45:40
Speaker 1: about it when they get the recipes.
45:42
Speaker 2: When I saw this, I thought I might actually because
45:46
Speaker 2: I use a I use a service right now for
45:48
Speaker 2: my meals, but they are ready made meals as opposed
45:51
Speaker 2: to ones that you put together yourself, and I thought
45:55
Speaker 2: I might actually for a week switch this out because
46:00
Speaker 2: these meal a lot of them sound really really good.
46:02
Speaker 2: They all sound really good, but a couple of them
46:04
Speaker 2: I could not eat because, for instance, one of them
46:06
Speaker 2: has beef in it, and I don't eat mammals, so
46:08
Speaker 2: I wouldn't eat that one. But it's not because it
46:10
Speaker 2: doesn't sound good, because that's just I don't eat that food.
46:13
Speaker 2: But yeah, they sound really really and again they're not
46:16
Speaker 2: a sponsor, but they really did sound good, which just
46:18
Speaker 2: made me laugh because, uh Ariel, I'm sure you have
46:22
Speaker 2: seen in the past tie ins between movies and various
46:27
Speaker 2: like restaurants and stuff, where like nine times out of
46:30
Speaker 2: ten whatever the theme tie in in tie in is
46:34
Speaker 2: looks terrible. I'm thinking mostly about like Denny's and I
46:38
Speaker 2: hop here. Those are like the two that I always
46:40
Speaker 2: associate with, like The Lord of the Rings, Hobbit Hole
46:44
Speaker 2: Breakfast or whatever.
46:45
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I do see, Yeah, I know
46:50
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. But this looks this looks really good.
46:53
Speaker 1: I'm except I Hella Fresh appeals to me, but between
46:56
Speaker 1: my allergies, which are harder for them to work around,
47:00
Speaker 1: it's been not liking vegetables. It's difficult for us to
47:03
Speaker 1: find meals that they provide that we would both like
47:05
Speaker 1: their meals I would like or he would like.
47:07
Speaker 2: But I totally get that, Yeah it is. I do
47:10
Speaker 2: not envy you and your meal planning and yeah, I
47:15
Speaker 2: uh yeah, I totally get that too. Like I also
47:18
Speaker 2: have some allergies, my biggest one being shellfish. I cannot
47:21
Speaker 2: do shellfish, so I also typically avoid seafood. I love seafood,
47:26
Speaker 2: but I typically avoid it simply because of the dangers
47:28
Speaker 2: of cross contamination. Yeah, but it starts to seriously limit
47:33
Speaker 2: what you can do now and and Ariel has far
47:35
Speaker 2: more food sensitivities than I do.
47:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't. I can't eat night shades. Usually I
47:42
Speaker 1: sometimes do and then I suffer. So if you want
47:45
Speaker 1: to do it, I'm It's HelloFresh Adventure dot Com April seventeenth,
47:50
Speaker 1: at nine am Pacific twelve pm Eastern. I hate to
47:54
Speaker 1: tell people that because I want to get one, but
47:57
Speaker 1: also they will also be available on April twenty five,
48:00
Speaker 1: fourth and May first at the same times, so you know,
48:03
Speaker 1: spam your Google. Whoa, we got a lot more to
48:07
Speaker 1: go through and not a lot of time. The next
48:09
Speaker 1: thing we got was a trailer for The Penguin. We
48:11
Speaker 1: knew the show was coming out on HBO Max with
48:14
Speaker 1: the Penguin from the Batman. Honestly, like, it didn't grab me.
48:19
Speaker 1: It kind of looked like they were trying to get
48:22
Speaker 1: the Sopranos fans.
48:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, but no, really, it definitely looks more like a
48:27
Speaker 2: I mean, it shouldn't come as a surprise. It definitely
48:29
Speaker 2: looks more like a mafia based show. So I think
48:33
Speaker 2: of things like you know, the Sopranos, or I think
48:39
Speaker 2: of Boardwalk Empire. Of course that's a period piece, but
48:42
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, it feels the same sort
48:44
Speaker 2: of thing. But this one said in Gotham. But then, like,
48:47
Speaker 2: how would you not do that if you're trying to
48:50
Speaker 2: have a grounded version of the Penguin versus like the
48:54
Speaker 2: more colorful one that we associate from say the late
48:58
Speaker 2: sixties era, where it was a character who literally would
49:02
Speaker 2: commit crimes trying to steal bird themed stuff Like it's
49:07
Speaker 2: it's hard to do. I mean, you could argue you
49:10
Speaker 2: don't have to do it at all, but then then
49:13
Speaker 2: we wouldn't even get anything.
49:15
Speaker 3: So I don't know. It didn't It didn't make me
49:19
Speaker 3: want to watch the series.
49:22
Speaker 2: But at the same time, HBO, HBO Max and now
49:29
Speaker 2: Just Max at least as a May twenty third, has
49:32
Speaker 2: been doing pretty well with its series, so I hope
49:36
Speaker 2: maybe this will be another another positive like high quality
49:42
Speaker 2: series to come out that will be really entertaining, something
49:45
Speaker 2: like The Last of Us was.
49:48
Speaker 3: I just it just hasn't grabbed me yet.
49:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, Colin Ferrell was good in the role in the movie,
49:55
Speaker 1: but the movie was bad.
50:00
Speaker 3: Yeah.
50:00
Speaker 2: The more the more distance I get from that film,
50:04
Speaker 2: the less I like it. Like I've bet you know,
50:06
Speaker 2: I've said multiple times, I actually really like that version
50:09
Speaker 2: of the Riddler. Ariel doesn't because she doesn't like the
50:12
Speaker 2: creepy super Zodiac killer version of the Reddler. But I
50:14
Speaker 2: really dug that. I thought it was really interesting, But
50:17
Speaker 2: I didn't like the fact that Batman is being like
50:22
Speaker 2: all the marketing was like, ah, it's the first Batman
50:24
Speaker 2: film where Batman's really a detective, and I'm like, he's
50:26
Speaker 2: the worst detective.
50:28
Speaker 3: This guy is terrible.
50:29
Speaker 2: He doesn't solve anything of any significance, and in fact,
50:34
Speaker 2: by the time he does figure things out, it's literally
50:36
Speaker 2: too late.
50:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you can have some of that or else
50:40
Speaker 1: your movie's over real quick. But you have to you
50:43
Speaker 1: have to have a win by the end. So, Jonathan,
50:45
Speaker 1: I know that you're super sad that john Wick for
50:48
Speaker 1: is the last John Wick official movie.
50:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, for reasons we won't go into because we don't
50:54
Speaker 2: want to spoil it for people.
50:56
Speaker 1: But uh, don't worry. On top of Ballerina, we're still
51:00
Speaker 1: getting more john Wick content. We're getting the Continental on Peacock.
51:06
Speaker 2: Yes, this is a prequel series that is set in
51:10
Speaker 2: the seventies, So this will be centered on the Continental.
51:15
Speaker 2: That's the hotel that's central to almost all the john
51:18
Speaker 2: Wick stuff, where it's kind of the sanctuary where assassins
51:23
Speaker 2: can go, and the rules state that there cannot.
51:25
Speaker 3: Be any work done on premises, and it.
51:30
Speaker 2: Like, I don't want to go too deep into the
51:32
Speaker 2: john Wick mythology because I frankly find it more and
51:36
Speaker 2: more absurd with every john Wick entry.
51:41
Speaker 3: But I will say the teaser.
51:45
Speaker 2: Looks really really atmospheric, Like the aesthetic is something I
51:51
Speaker 2: really dig.
51:54
Speaker 3: I don't know that I'll watch the series.
51:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the esthetic is the esthetic of the
51:59
Speaker 1: Continent told, which was a fun location in general.
52:02
Speaker 2: And the seventies, Like there is like a strong seventies esthetic.
52:06
Speaker 2: Like even even the cinematography kind of gives the feeling
52:12
Speaker 2: of seventies era cinema, like that kind of lighting and stuff.
52:15
Speaker 2: I think of things like Taxi Driver. It feels kind
52:18
Speaker 2: of like that, but through obviously kind of a modern
52:21
Speaker 2: take on that approach. Yeah.
52:25
Speaker 1: The next trailer we got was for Netflix's animated sci
52:29
Speaker 1: fi Jonathan put In quotes comedy series called Mulligan. It's
52:36
Speaker 1: like this Boston. It's like this Boston hardhead who ends
52:41
Speaker 1: up saving the world from aliens and becomes president, is
52:44
Speaker 1: what I can tell from it.
52:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, kind of like I think of it as
52:48
Speaker 2: what if you took idiocrasy and you combine that with
52:53
Speaker 2: Mars attacks, and then you would get Mulligan.
52:57
Speaker 1: And then you told it like American.
52:58
Speaker 3: Dad, right right.
53:00
Speaker 2: But also the reason why I put comedy in quotation
53:03
Speaker 2: marks is because I was like, this is perhaps the
53:07
Speaker 2: least funny thing I've seen since the trailer for the
53:12
Speaker 2: Elvis Secret Agent series.
53:15
Speaker 1: I agree, Actually I think Elvis was funnier, but only
53:18
Speaker 1: by a hair. Neither of them is very funny. But
53:21
Speaker 1: I agree Mulligan wasn't very funny. It didn't grab me.
53:23
Speaker 1: It's got some good voice actors, but that's not enough
53:27
Speaker 1: to They're going to have to try to sell it
53:29
Speaker 1: to me harder. Unlike the Grimlins cartoon, which I'm instantly
53:35
Speaker 1: on board for because it looks adorable.
53:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Ariel already knows my feelings. This is trash,
53:41
Speaker 2: It is garbage. It is worthless because in the trailer,
53:48
Speaker 2: which is set as a prequel like sixty years before
53:52
Speaker 2: the events of Gremlins. Gizmo introduces himself as Gizmo, and
53:56
Speaker 2: we all know that Gizmo got his name from the
54:01
Speaker 2: father character in the original Grimlins movie because he was
54:05
Speaker 2: an inventor, so Gizmo couldn't have the name Gizmo in
54:08
Speaker 2: the twenties. So this cartoon is garbage, Thank you good night.
54:14
Speaker 1: What if it was Kismet, like his name was actually Gizmo,
54:18
Speaker 1: but then he kind of kissed the girl song did
54:22
Speaker 1: it the dad while the dad was sleeping to know
54:26
Speaker 1: that that animal creature's name was Gizmo. Or it is
54:29
Speaker 1: the actual Gizmo, but he's traveled back in time to
54:33
Speaker 1: do like I'll use Zombie's self perpetuating sort of naming scheme.
54:38
Speaker 2: Well, if it's the second one, I will allow it,
54:41
Speaker 2: but if it's but if it's the first one, then
54:44
Speaker 2: you're taking away one of the few wins that inventor
54:47
Speaker 2: character gets in all of Grimlins, and I can't abide that.
54:52
Speaker 1: No, I think they just named it Gizmos. Of people
54:54
Speaker 1: could relate to the character they liked. But regardless, the
55:00
Speaker 1: cartoon looks cute unless you're Jonathan and you think it's trash.
55:02
Speaker 2: If I'm being more serious and less like knee jerk
55:07
Speaker 2: reaction dude on the internet. I think that the cartoon
55:12
Speaker 2: looks cute too. I think it looks fun, and you know,
55:16
Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of Gremlins the franchise, so I
55:21
Speaker 2: am more than happy to give this a shot.
55:24
Speaker 1: Yeah. Real, last thing I'll say on it that probably
55:28
Speaker 1: I will be the only person who gets a steep cut.
55:30
Speaker 1: It feels kind of like a mix between like a
55:33
Speaker 1: Kung Fu Panda two D animation and the Jackie Chan
55:37
Speaker 1: Adventures cartoon, which I think you were too old for
55:40
Speaker 1: by the time it came out.
55:41
Speaker 3: Jonathan, I am aware that it was a thing, but
55:43
Speaker 3: you know, I never watched it.
55:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know why it strikes me as that,
55:48
Speaker 1: but it kind of does. Did you know Seth Rogan's
55:50
Speaker 1: making a teenage mutant Ninja Turtles movie. That's a complete aside.
55:53
Speaker 1: I didn't know that it's really interesting looking. I also
55:56
Speaker 1: did not know that I saw the trailer when I
55:59
Speaker 1: saw D and D, and I forgot to put it
56:00
Speaker 1: in the notes. But we don't have time for that. Instead,
56:03
Speaker 1: let's talk about the last Voyage of the Dawn. I mean,
56:07
Speaker 1: the last voyage of the Demeter.
56:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, so this is where we get into the horror
56:11
Speaker 2: movie and horror series section, which I think I think
56:15
Speaker 2: Ariel will now notice I grouped all of those together.
56:18
Speaker 1: Why you kind of ended on a scary note. I
56:20
Speaker 1: gotta be a person after this.
56:23
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I'm sorry, it's just kind of how
56:26
Speaker 2: it all anyway, So we got like four, we've got
56:29
Speaker 2: four spoopy stories and yeah, so the the Demeter is
56:35
Speaker 2: the name of the ship in the novel Dracula that
56:39
Speaker 2: transports Dracula in his coffin to England. So you know,
56:45
Speaker 2: Dracula of course starts off in Transylvania. He's got Jonathan
56:51
Speaker 2: under his clutches. Jonathan is essentially kind of you know,
56:56
Speaker 2: who is playing the part of a real estate agent
56:58
Speaker 2: essentially trying to sell some a state in London to Dracula.
57:06
Speaker 2: Jonathan is detained, let's say, because to go into detail
57:11
Speaker 2: is scandalous, and Dracula is shipped to England. But in
57:17
Speaker 2: the book, the ship essentially kind of is a ghost ship.
57:21
Speaker 2: It crashes and there's no one alive on board, and
57:25
Speaker 2: you know, you're left to your imagination as to what
57:28
Speaker 2: actually happened on the ship. As Dracula was being transported
57:32
Speaker 2: to England. Well, this movie is aiming to tell you
57:37
Speaker 2: exactly what did happen on that fateful trip with the
57:41
Speaker 2: Skipper and Gilligan and Mary as too.
57:47
Speaker 1: It actually looks kind of fun, you know, if you're like,
57:51
Speaker 1: why why didn't they just go to Harbor when this happened?
57:54
Speaker 1: But no, it looks fun, it looks scary. It looks
57:58
Speaker 1: a little like you know, Dick. So I don't know.
58:04
Speaker 1: My brain is making great associations.
58:07
Speaker 2: I thought it looked good. I like the idea of
58:12
Speaker 2: telling the story. I am not entirely sold on the
58:16
Speaker 2: vampire design that we see in the trailer. It's very
58:20
Speaker 2: and I really really wish they had resisted the urge
58:24
Speaker 2: to include a song in the trailer. They should have
58:28
Speaker 2: just stuck with instrumental music because hearing the world is
58:33
Speaker 2: a vampire in the middle of your stupid trailer, I
58:37
Speaker 2: hated it.
58:38
Speaker 1: My brain completely blocked that out. I just wish they
58:41
Speaker 1: didn't put a dog in it, so I don't have
58:42
Speaker 1: to be worried about the doggie.
58:45
Speaker 3: I'll spoil this for you. No one makes it out.
58:49
Speaker 1: No, I'm gonna move on then. So we also got
58:53
Speaker 1: a spooky trailer for a film called Talk to Me,
58:56
Speaker 1: which is there to completely just make you afraid that
58:59
Speaker 1: if you have and shake something, you're gonna get haunted.
59:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, this looks like a possession movie. Essentially, my dog
59:08
Speaker 2: is possessed him now yeah, high timble, But yeah, it's
59:12
Speaker 2: a possession movie where it's following along a lot of
59:17
Speaker 2: tropes that are pretty familiar for horror movie fans. Right,
59:21
Speaker 2: Like a bunch of young people get together, they start
59:23
Speaker 2: messing with something that they think is both fun and
59:28
Speaker 2: spooky at the same time, it goes too far. One
59:31
Speaker 2: of them gets possessed, and then you've got this dangerous
59:36
Speaker 2: paranormal presence that is malevolent in nature that's going to
59:40
Speaker 2: try and kill everybody. You know. Tail as Old as Time.
59:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, song as old ash. Speaking of screaming, the directors
59:50
Speaker 1: for Scream six are probably making a universal monster movie.
59:55
Speaker 1: So if you thought the Dark Universe was dead, well
59:57
Speaker 1: maybe it is. But the Universal Monsters themselves, well maybe
1:00:01
Speaker 1: they are too, but their time in the limelight isn't necessarily.
1:00:06
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:00:06
Speaker 2: Well, I mean we just talked about the Last Voyage
1:00:08
Speaker 2: of the Demeter, which is Dracula, right, so, and it.
1:00:12
Speaker 1: Is a Universal Picture, I guess.
1:00:14
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:00:14
Speaker 1: So are they trying to re reboot their Dark Universe.
1:00:18
Speaker 1: I'm more for it. With the last voyage of the Demeter.
1:00:22
Speaker 2: I have not heard anything along those lines. It wouldn't
1:00:25
Speaker 2: surprise me if they were trying to give it another go,
1:00:28
Speaker 2: because you know, the whole purpose for the Dark Universe
1:00:31
Speaker 2: in the first place was to try and create something
1:00:34
Speaker 2: akin to the Star Wars universe or the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
1:00:38
Speaker 2: This idea of this interconnected series of stories, where the
1:00:41
Speaker 2: stories all tie in with one another, and therefore you
1:00:44
Speaker 2: are going to go and see every single darn one
1:00:46
Speaker 2: of them if you want to be able to understand
1:00:47
Speaker 2: what's going on. That's that could be both to the
1:00:51
Speaker 2: benefit and the detriment of a franchise, particularly the longer
1:00:55
Speaker 2: it goes. See also Star Wars and Marvel. But as
1:00:58
Speaker 2: we know, the previous attempts have not gone well. I
1:01:02
Speaker 2: don't know if they're trying it again, but I will
1:01:04
Speaker 2: say that, like if they're going with the directors for
1:01:07
Speaker 2: Scream six to direct a universal monster movie, it might
1:01:12
Speaker 2: end up being a pretty tense and intense monster movie.
1:01:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, I agree. I look forward to seeing
1:01:23
Speaker 1: the possibilities, even if the end result ends up being
1:01:26
Speaker 1: too scary for me. The last thing is so, I
1:01:29
Speaker 1: haven't watched any True Detective. It I don't know why
1:01:32
Speaker 1: it should have appealed to me because it was detectivey
1:01:35
Speaker 1: and also Kathulhuy. But this it's coming out with a
1:01:39
Speaker 1: new season series spinoff called True Detective Night Country with
1:01:44
Speaker 1: Jodie Foster, and it looks like Cthulhu meets Fargo, and
1:01:49
Speaker 1: I am on board for it. Yeah.
1:01:52
Speaker 3: I also haven't watched any True Detective.
1:01:55
Speaker 2: I've seen clips and it always looked interesting, but it
1:01:59
Speaker 2: also looked like the kind of thing where if I
1:02:01
Speaker 2: wasn't paying one hundred and ten percent attention, that I
1:02:05
Speaker 2: was going to miss out on something really important that
1:02:07
Speaker 2: would have the whole thing click into place for me.
1:02:10
Speaker 2: And it's been a few years since I felt I
1:02:13
Speaker 2: could really focus.
1:02:14
Speaker 3: I don't know. Something must have happened over the last
1:02:16
Speaker 3: few years or something.
1:02:18
Speaker 1: Oh oh, so it must have been. I'm sorry, did
1:02:21
Speaker 1: you say something. I feel like my brain just fried again.
1:02:26
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, no, I went on for a while, but
1:02:29
Speaker 3: it's okay.
1:02:30
Speaker 1: Well that's uh, We're gonna end on that, sad said.
1:02:34
Speaker 1: Note that's all we've got for this week. We hope
1:02:38
Speaker 1: you've enjoyed all the geeky news we certainly have. If
1:02:41
Speaker 1: you'd like to write us and tell us about things
1:02:44
Speaker 1: that you like, or if you want us to bring
1:02:46
Speaker 1: mashups back, or just want to say hi, how can
1:02:49
Speaker 1: they do that, Jonathan?
1:02:51
Speaker 2: Well, for me, you must wait until it is cold
1:02:55
Speaker 2: outside and you'll feel that you really can't stay, that
1:03:00
Speaker 2: you've got to go away.
1:03:02
Speaker 3: The evening has been so.
1:03:04
Speaker 2: Very nice, but your mother will start to worry and
1:03:09
Speaker 2: your father will be pacing the floor.
1:03:13
Speaker 3: So really the best thing for you to do is
1:03:16
Speaker 3: to scurry, but maybe just half a drink more. The
1:03:24
Speaker 3: neighbors might think, say, what's in this drink? I wish
1:03:31
Speaker 3: I knew how to break this spell? And you ought
1:03:35
Speaker 3: to say no, no, no, sir. But at least you're
1:03:41
Speaker 3: going to say you try. Because it's so.
1:03:48
Speaker 2: Very cold.
1:03:51
Speaker 3: Outside, and when it warms up, I'll get back to you.
1:03:56
Speaker 2: Collie.
1:03:57
Speaker 1: I bumped my microphone in fear, so if you hear
1:04:00
