  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Welcome to the Large Nerds on Collatter podcast.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: The podcast it's all about the kiky things happening in
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the world around us and how very excited we are
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: about them. I'm Ariel Caston, and with me, as always
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: is the shaking his head at me because I was
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: goofing off when I should have been starting Jonathan Strickland.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: I was turned into a chicken nugget.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Oh that wait, No, that's how do we tell you
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: apart from other chicken nuggets?
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: So we don't eat you. Oh it's okay, because I
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: got better. Oh that's good.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. We originally had in our lineup a movie called
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Chicken Nugget, where a woman turns into a chicken nugget,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: but then we both decided that the only thing we
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: could say about this movie is that it sure does
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: look weird.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Maybe in a good way, but yeah, yeah, it just.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Like yeah, yeah, not necessarily like weird, as oh that
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: looks weird, but more of a that looks weird. So
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: if you are curious about a film about in which
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: a woman has turned into a chicken nugget, there's a
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: trailer on YouTube. You can look for it. But we're
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: not going to really talk about that today. Instead, we're
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: going to talk about a bunch of other stuff, including
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: things that we've recently watched and or read or listened
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: to or whatever.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and because it's been almost a month, we're so sorry.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Just between travel and travel and family, we had to
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: take a short hiatus. But it's been like three weeks,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: and so that's been a lot of stuff for me.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I'm sure it was a lot of stuff for me,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: but it didn't keep track of it while it was happening,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: so I only remember one thing. Yeah.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Well, and like you know, I work from home, so
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: some of it was kind of half in the background
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: or like when I'm walking on my treadmill. All watched things,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: so it was it was always almost always, uh like
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: pulling double duty with something else. But yeah, for me, well,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: first of off, First off, you know, I traveled to
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Halifax to watch Rosencrantz and Gildenstern Are Dead with Billy
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Boyd and Dominic Monagahan, and it can't replace my love
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: for the movie with Gary Oldman and Tim roth In
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Richard Dreyfus, because that is just such a phenomenal piece
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: of work. But I think that it was maybe equal
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to at least maybe a little better, because when you're
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: watching the play, they they have to transition more logically
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: between scenes for it to make sense.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: They can't make that sort of dreamy scene change where like,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: which actually adds to kind of that unrealistic, uh somewhat
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: like unreliable approach that the story has. But you have,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: you know, you have to deal with actual practicals, uts
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: and things in a stage, which in the case of
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: a live performance.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the costumes were amazing, the set was amazing. I
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: would have posted a whole bunch of picks, but they requested,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: you know, no cameras, so I have one picture of
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the set. But I was kind of waiting for the
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: end of the Toronto run because they're in Toronto right now.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: If you're in Toronto, I know we have a couple
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: of Canada listeners. If you're in Toronto and there are
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: still tickets, I highly recommend it.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, as I understand, you saw the very last performance
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: in Halifax, right I you weren't scheduled to see the
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: very last one. We were scheduled to see the second
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: to last one.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, thank you, Jonathan, because I need to give
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: you mad props because we were there closing weekend. We're
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: supposed to see it Saturday. Closing night was Sunday, and
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: then we're supposed to fly back Sunday. But Saturday apparently
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: was a weird global warming weather pattern in Halifax where
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: it rained a whole bunch and then temperatures dropped below freezing.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I was actually talking with a couple of like the
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: people at the restaurants and like people that we interacted
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: with in town. I was like, yeah, this is actually
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: kind of like Georgia weather, and they're like, so it's
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: your fault, huh. But it wasn't even so much that
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: we're worried about like roads per se, although that was
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: definitely a concern. It's that when the metro system closes
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: down in Halifax, which it did because they didn't know
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: what to expect, the theater also closed down. So at
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: that point where like my husband, who this is the
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: second time he's bought me tickets to see a play
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: out of town that we've had issues with, was like,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I'm never doing it again, and I'm like, it always
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: works out, and even if not, I really enjoyed Halifax.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: It's only you know, it's a small town, so like
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: a day or two will do you there and then
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: you can explore the greater nova Scotia. But it was delightful.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: It had some really good food. We went to see
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: a lighthouse in this note was brilliant and hoow, I'm
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: getting sidetracked. So we're trying to make the best of
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: our now snow day and find places that are open
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: because everything's closing down because of the weather in Halifax.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: And I had briefly thought, well, maybe we could see
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the Sunday show, but I looked online and it was
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: sold out, and so I was sitting, you know, I
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: told the friends that knew that we were going there,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: like Jonathan and a couple of my other friends, that
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: what had happened. And Jonathan super amazingly and Beco were like,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: maybe our tickets are for closing night. Let let us
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: see and if they are, we'll give them to you,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: which is incredibly wonderful, and I still need to pay
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: you back for them. But they were, and so we
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: were able to get everything else changed so that we
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: could stay till Sunday and see them, because otherwise it
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: was a very expensive trip to Halifax for some good
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: seafood chowder.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, we Becca and I had Becca had bought
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: those tickets for me as a president last year, and
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: what we did not know last year was that between
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: last year and the final performance of Rosacatza Gillenstern are
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: dead in Halifax, Nova Scotia, I would nearly die, and
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: that as a result, I was going to be going
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: through a whole bunch of different medical visits and things,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: and a lot of stuff would be thrown up in
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: the air and be uncertain, and that included things like
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: plan travel. So we had decided that out of an
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: overabundance of safety, we would have to skip this opportunity,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: which really broke my heart. But on the flip side,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: I'm so happy that it meant that those tickets got
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: to go to you, Ariel, so that you got the
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: chance to actually see it. Because, as you and I
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: both know that trip, it takes a lot of work
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: to get to Nova Scotia from Atlanta, Georgia. Yeah, and
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: it's not inexpensive, no, No.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: It took more work because we took the cheaper flights.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: So you can take either very expensive flights to Nova
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Scotia and get either not a layover or small layover,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: or you can take still expensive but not backbreakingly expensive flights,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: which means that you know, on the way there, I
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: had like a six hour layover, and on the way back,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I had an eleven hour layover and I had to
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: leave for the airport at two am Eastern time.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah get home.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, totally worth it. So thank you, thank you, thank you. Jonathan,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Billy Boyd and Dominic montag Hand were great. The rest
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: of the cast was delightful. I really liked all the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: artistic choices. There was a really good like camaraderie, like
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: both that I can't stand you and also you're my
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: best friend thing going on that is integral to rosen
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Krantz and Guildenstern. It made me cry a little bit
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: at the end, even though I've seen it and I've
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: read it, and I've even done bits from it, and
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I've been Rosenkrantz and Hamlet. But then I got to
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: meet like the director briefly afterwards because he was in
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the lobby and tell me, you know, I liked his work.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: And then I got to Dominic Montaingaghan and Billy Boyd
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: were both at the stage door, so I got to
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: briefly meet them and get a picture with Billy Boyd,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: who I just absolutely love his work. I think he's
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: incredibly talented, and he was very kind and generous in
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: taking pictures and giving autographs. I didn't get an autograph
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: because he wasn't hurry, but I did get a picture. AH,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: absolutely delightful. I loved it. Thank you so much.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: You're welcome. But that's not the only thing you saw.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: In the weeks that we were offline.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I watched all of the second season of Star Trek's
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Strange New World. I have thoughts about the musical episode. Mainly,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I liked the music, but it felt and I like
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the music, and I like the fact that they listened
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: to each actor and wrote music specifically for their voices
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: to showcase them in the best light possible, but it
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: meant that the music in the episode felt disjointed to me.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: But I still enjoined it. Good season. It was better
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: than the first season.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I watched the first episode and a half of Monarch,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: which is the Godzilla show on Apple TV, because it
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: was on the plane. But I think that's the one
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: that's gonna gonna get me to get Apple TV next
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: month when I'm done with my Paramount month because it
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: gave me like real lost vibes, and I enjoyed Lost
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: a Light a lot. I watched Life in Bath season two,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: which is a semi autobiographical story about Amy Schumer's life. Brilliant,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: just brilliant work. It depicts life with people on the
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: ASD spectrum incredibly well. It's funny, it's thoughtful, it's heartening,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: it's wonderful. I highly recommend it, even if you're not
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: a big Gamy Shumer fan. I watched Dune two also
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: thought that was better than Done one. They did miss
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: out on the opportunity to call it Dune Dune, so
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: that the third one could be Dune don dudeen, But
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: that's okay.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: It does seem like, does seem like a missed opportunity, You're.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Right, yeah. And then I watched like the first episode
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: or two of Avatar the Last Airbender on Netflix.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Cool for me, Well, first of all, why did you
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: think of Why did you think of Avatar? Because I've
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: read mixed reviews, but I haven't started it.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: So it's kind of I have kind of h I
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: don't want to take up too much time because I've
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: already taken him so much time in the introver episode.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: But it's okay because you've watched way more stuff than
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: I did, and most of the time I provide about
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: twice as much vocal content as you do, So this
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: is good. You're catching up. Okay.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: So I enjoy it so far. I understand that they
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: made some changes to like the source material, and it
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: might have made the story or characters weaker in some points,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: according to various friends I have that watched it because
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed the cartoon a lot, but because I haven't
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: seen it in a while, I was able to kind
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: of separate myself from it and kind of watch it
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: as a standalone thing.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: M hm.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: And so I'm enjoying it so far. Of course I'm
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: not very far in, but I think it's good. But honestly,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: the thing I was going to say is it's similar
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: to my reaction to the Dark Tower movie, which is
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I haven't read the Dark Tower books, so it was
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: a fair to middling movie. Sure, yeah, but I think
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: that's still generous because it was the movie was dark
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: toar was a little bit of a slog I'm not
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: finding that as much with Avatar. I think the actors
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: are very charming.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well, for me, the only thing that I can
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: remember watching that really falls into our purview is The
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Completely made Up Adventures of Dick Turpin on Apple plus,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Apple TV plus someone and Noel Fielding. And Dick Turpin
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: was probably a real person. He was a highwayman. But
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: I say probably because most of the stories about Dick
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Turpin date more than a century after his record to death.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: So it's kind of like Robin Hood in that it's
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: more of a figure of legend than any sort of
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: historical actual character like that. Very well may have been
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: a Dick Turpin, but certainly he didn't do the things
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: that are attributed to him, which is why the series
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: is called The Completely made Up Adventures of Dick Turpin.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: It's very silly. Silly is the best word I would
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: use for it. There have been people I've seen who
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: have compared it to Our Flag Means Death because it
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: has a lot of like anachronistic moments in it, you know,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: But I don't really. I don't otherwise see a good
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: analog there, because our Flag means Death while having silly
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: moments in it, a lot of the humor gets to
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: be a lot more dry in that series, and Dick
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Turpin is just playing out silly, but I enjoy it.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: And a lot of folks who are in a lot
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: different English comedy show up, so like Rich Fuller who
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: is in The Mighty booshe shows up, Greg Davies and
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: task Master like he shows up. There are a few
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: that have appeared. And Mark Heap is playing Dick Turpin's dad.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: I love Mark Heap. I think of him from space.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: So I'm really enjoying it for what it is, which
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: is lighthearted, silly comedy that has a highwayman a would
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: be highwayman as the protagonist.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Interesting and that's interesting to know because I feel like
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: in Our Flag Means Death and I haven't watched Dick
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Turpin yet, but it is very high on my list.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: I feel like in Our Flag Means Death that I
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: really like when they're more serious and dry, but when
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: they try to be funny, it almost feels too hard
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: and too basic or basic.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: I didn't I didn't really click with Our Flag Means
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Death until about episode four. The first two episodes in
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: particular just didn't really work for me, and I was
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: kind of bummed because I had been looking forward to
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: the series. The introduction of black Beard definitely helped considerably,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: and then by episode four, when black Beard's like a
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: character in the show, I thought, now the show is
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: clicking for me. And it wasn't just the character of
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: black Beard, it was everything seemed to be working better.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Like it wasn't just because Taika Waititi was there being silly,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: but the fact that everything in the show seemed to
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: work a little better.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I felt like, I agree. I feel like the
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: first two episodes, especially a little bit still here and there,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: but I feel like, especially the first two episodes of
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: season one, the comedy felt like a bunch of just
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: barely oksn nel skits stitched together with a thin storyline
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: to me, which is, yeah, probably going to upset some
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: of our friends. But I did end up really enjoying
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: the series. I've watched a couple of episodes of season two,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: but I haven't finished it yet.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: I haven't even finished season one because I fell off
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: of it and it's not again like I know, like
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: we do. Ariel and I have friends who are deeply
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: invested in our Flag Means Death, a lot of them
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: in the LGBTQ community, because there's a lot of representation
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: in that show, and I totally get it, and that's
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: awesome and I love it them for it. But yeah,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: I'm the same way where I kind of like I
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: was enjoying it and it did click with me, but
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: other stuff just came up and I never felt the
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: strong enough pull to go back to it. I'm sure
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: I will, but it's kind of joined a list of
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: increasingly long amounts of content that I need to get
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: to that I just haven't yet.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, I it's sad because you know, conceptually I
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: can really like a thing, and then in actuality I don't.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: But some people like conceptually you can carry them through
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: more too, and everybody has different things that they enjoy.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: So sure, so I yeah that I'm sorry. Go ahead.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: I didn't watch one more thing that I forgot to mention.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Oh god, Ariel, come on.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: No, I was gonna watch it on the plane during
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: my travels, and I'm really glad I didn't, because that
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: is not a movie you want to watch with anyone
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: around if you're me, which is poor Things.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, I still haven't seen Pore Things, but
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: I've heard enough to know that that is definitely for you.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Ariel A movie that is best watched not on the
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: back of someone else's seat with people sitting on either
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: side of you.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it it gives you a lot to think about.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: It is very interesting. I love like the costume choices
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: and the art style and all that. You know. Could
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I say it left me feeling good? No, but you know,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: I understand what they were trying to get out, and
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: I think it was beautifully executed, but a good at
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: least third of the movie is like very explicit scenes
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: in a sexy fashion, and that it got to be
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: a lot for me. Yeah, it got because there were
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: so many of them back to back that I'm like,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: this is just another.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Way to show h and some of them really are
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: back to back.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: This is just another way to show nudity essentially in
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: a scene. And I was like, I'm you know, but
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: if you're not as puritanical as I am, you might
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: like it. Yeah, I'd like I said, I thought it
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: was very well done, but it was. It was, it was,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: but subject matter wise, it was hard to watch too.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Sure, Yeah, I mean it's it's It's one of those
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: that was high on my list still is high on
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: my list to watch. And I'm still hoping to catch
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: that sooner rather than later. I think it's streaming on
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Hulu at the moment, which of course is the one
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: service I don't yet have. By the way side, rant
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: if I'm allowed, just really quickly, so.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: It's our podcast. Do whatever you want.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I was excited to be able to finally bundle
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Hulu with Disney Plus because I was already a Disney
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Plus subscriber and I looked into it, and the problem
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: is I had opted to save money by paying for
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Disney Plus on an annual basis rather than a monthly basis.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: In order to subscribe to a bundle with Hulu, you
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: have to be on a monthly basis, So then I
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: switched from annual to monthly. But because I've already paid
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: for a year, that monthly fee doesn't start till November.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: I can't bundle Disney Plus with Hulu until November, which
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: means I don't have an incentive to get Hulu now
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: because it'll be cheaper to bundle it in November.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: So I would say, call them and see what they
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: could do, because I bet they would want you to
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: be able to They want you to pay more to
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: bundle Hulu but you know, I haven't. I don't you know,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: that's ten years ago me saying call them, they'll work
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: with you, because that's the experience I've had. I don't
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: know if there is even a number to call right now.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Well, and I don't know how they would do it
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: because I am paid through for Disney Plus until November.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: So would they just charge me a smaller amount per
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: month for Hulu by itself and then? But I don't
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: know it's possible.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: And Hulu is like the one subscription that you really
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: can't share with anybody. They're super particular about.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: You and I don't share anyway. Because I work in media,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: I understand stand that whole model, Like I understand both
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: sides of it. Don't get me wrong. I understand like
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: folks who you know, they're like, there's so many streaming
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: services out there, and they pile up like those fees.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Get they I mean, that's why I'm not a subscriber
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: to Hulu now. It's because I'm already subscribed to so
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: many other things. But so I totally get that from
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: an economic perspective, But I also get it from the
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: company's side, and I understand, and we both have talked
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: about how challenging it is for streaming services to be
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: profitable and still make content that folks want to see.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: It's hard and we haven't really figured it out yet.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: So I totally get both sides. And maybe I'll break
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: down and subscribe to Hulu on a month by month
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: basis and then just bundle it in November so I
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: can finally watch all this stuff that's only available on Hulu.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: But I've held out so far.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Now I get it, And I'm not saying that, you know,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: people should share their Internet stuff because also in the industry,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: and yeah, like that's why shows get cut or streaming
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: networks go under it, or they raise their prices. It's
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: because people are sharing instead of subscribing. Yeah. I recently
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: bought a few months worth of subscription for a family
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: member as a gift instead of sharing my log in.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: So well, like, now that we've covered stuff what we
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: have seen, and you know we've been talking for more
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: than twenty minutes, how about we get to some thirty
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: seconds or less.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Cool. I would say I'll bring them down to fifteen
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: seconds or less, but I know that will mess up
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: your editing.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've already and I've already well one that music
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: clip will just keep on playing the whole way through
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: and to to I script mine out, so I'd have
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: to read them twice as fast.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: You're so much better, You're so much better than I. Okay,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: So this first story, it's so also full disclosure. We're
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: covering a lot of stuff that, like, we were going
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: to talk about last week and weren't able to record,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: so we weren't going to be back last week. So
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: we've kept some of that in because it's fun. And
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: the first of which is there was a giant costume
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: sale in London or auction in London recently, and one
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: of the things that sold was the shirt that Colin
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Firth wore when he was dripping wet in Pride and Prejudice.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: It sold for twenty tho pounds, which was way more
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: than they thought they were going to get for it.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I think they thought it was going to get like
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: ten thousand macs. I had a friend who, when I
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: told them about this, said, I'm pretty sure it's dry
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: by now, the shirt, I hope, so let's say keep
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: it in constant state of like missing it. But I
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: don't think it would hold up if that were the case.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: To me, the really like the most cool thing they
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: auctioned off was Drew Barrymore's costume as Danielle in Ever After,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: which also went for more than they thought they were
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: going to get for it. That's what That's what I
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: would have bought.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Wow, all I can say is a twenty thousand pound
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: shirt sounds very heavy. Okay. The next Superman film is
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: in production, with at least some filming happening in our
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: own city of Atlanta. But meanwhile, James Gunn revealed that
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: the film title has lost a bit of weight. Instead
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: of being called Superman Legacy, it's just going to be
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: called Superman. It's still scheduled for release on July eleventh,
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. And I was surprised to learn that
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: a character originally created for the nineteen seventy eight Superman
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: film and this test Macker, is actually going to be
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: in this one, because that's not a character from the
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: comic books, that's a character from Superman the movie.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: That is interesting. They've got a few interesting characters they're
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: bringing into this movie. It'll be I'm intrigued to see
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: how it'll turn out.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a whole bunch of villains in it, which should
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: be and heroes villains and heroes in it, so it's
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: not to us Superman. But anyway, we'll talk way more
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: about that as we get closer.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of superheroes, Disney CEO currently Bob Eiger is
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: pushing back against the idea that people have superhero fatigue,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: which I think is something that even Kevin Fai said
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: is that people were having it, saying that it's not
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: that people have superhero fatigue, it's that they have bad
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: movie fatigue. I kind of agree with that, but also, like,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: when you're in a market so super saturated with superhero movies,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: you really have to be exceptional to get someone excited
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: about it, because it's just the content they've been trenched
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: in for years. And I like superhero movies still, but
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: you know, he is saying that with making less movies
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: that they'll be able to focus on making each one better,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: and that has kind of been a hope and maybe
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: we'll have time to actually look forward to superhero movies again.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Oh gosh, I sure hope. So Okay. Paramount Pictures gave
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: us some release dates a couple of weeks back that
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: we're really excited about so. For example, a new Naked
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Gun film is coming out on July twenty eighth to
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. Liam Neeson will take on the role
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: that Leslie Nielsen made famous. We'll sort of keeping it
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: in the l in territory. Paramount also announced that the
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: next teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated film has a premiere
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: date of October eighth, twenty twenty six, and I'm super
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: excited about that. I really enjoyed the first one.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, If you enjoyed the first one of The Sandman,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: then hopefully you'll enjoy season two, which is not called
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: season two, but we finally got some details about it.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Kirby Hawi Baptiste, who played Death in season one and
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: was my favorite heart and maybe my favorite episode of
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: the entire first series, we'll be back a whole lot
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: more in season two, giving me some actual excitement about
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: the second season. It didn't hit me as it was
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: one of those other things that conceptually I was super excited,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: but didn't hit me quite as well as I wanted.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: But I'm gonna give it a second chance now.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Cool. Okay, y'all might remember that Scream seven has been
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: through a lot already. The original director Christopher Landen left,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Actress Melissa Barrera was fired, Actress jennat Ortega pulled out
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: of the movie. Well, things are back on a different
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: track now. The director of the original screen film, Kevin Williamson,
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: will be coming back to the direct and star nev
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Campbell is back on board. You might remember she skipped
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Scream six over pay disputes, So the question is, do
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: you like scary movies? Noay, you you can skip Scream seven. Then, okay, I.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Watched the first I've seen the first two. Now, speaking
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: of things coming back, the Warner Brothers game Multiverse, which
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: was like the DC comic game of Throne. The WB
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: version of Smash Brothers is back. Apparently it was in beta.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: It went offline for a year, and they took a
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: whole bunch of feedback into account and are making it better,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: included as well as PvP. They're going to do a
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: PvE option online. It's free to play. The trailer for
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: it is actually really cute now and the game looks better,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: so I'm kind of on board. Watching Black Adam punch
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: a gremlin in the face was kind of fun.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's sort of like the end of Space Jam two,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: where all those studio owned characters all show up at
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: the very end, whether it made sense or not, like,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: why have the characters from Clockwork Orange feature in a
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: film that's for kids? That's just to us anyway, The
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: next film featuring Robert Pattinson's version of the Dark Detective
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: will take a little longer to get to screens. The
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Batman two was originally inked to a mirror in October
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, but now it's looking like October twenty
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: twenty six. The reason for the delay mostly has to
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: do with the writers' strike last year, and it means
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: that Superman and Batman won't have to share the same
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: year as their respective films come out.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Uh, that's good, I think the next.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah it's good. Did you not see Batman versus
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Superman when they have to like share screen time? It's bad,
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: not just like not just like a fight. It's a
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: bad movie.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: I think it's My response was really just I'm not
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: that excited about it a Batman movie.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember you didn't like the first one.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, there were moments, there were things I liked
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: about it, but as an overall piece of art, it
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: just didn't impress me as much as I hoped it would.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: I totally understand.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: So something that I hope will end up being a
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: lot of fun because it sounds pretty cool is that
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: the podcast Hello from the Magic Hello from the Magic
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Tavern is getting turned into an animated series by play
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Hooky Productions and Starboard Industries. So if you don't know
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: who those are. Starburnt Industries is a company Behindrigin Marty
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: and play Hooky Productions is a production company owned by
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Mark Berger and Sam Rockwell. Yes, Sam Rockwell, who was
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: the villain in the first Charlie Angels movie, who is
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: in Argyle recently, who I saw Broadway. It just looks
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: like it's gonna be a lot of fun, and they've
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: got a lot of fun like guest stars lined up
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: for it.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: So yeah, that's cool. I enjoy that podcast and I
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: look forward to people reacting when you Store inevitably gives
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: his full name, which takes takes about two minutes to say,
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: it'll just be.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: One episode that the whole episode will.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: I actually have a T shirt that has his full
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: name on it, and it's surprising to me that they
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: were able to fit it on just one side. All right, Well,
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: it's pretty for us to talk about a project that
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: gets uncanceled, but that seems to be the case with
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Patty jenkins Star Wars project. So back in twenty twenty,
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: Patty Jenkins was slated to direct a Star Wars movie
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: about the Rogue squadron of rebel pilots. But then in
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: the wake of the Rise of Skywalker movie, that project
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: was kind of shelved. It fizzled out, and now it
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: looks like it might be fizzled back in, at least potentially,
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: because Jenkins revealed she ows quote a draft of Star
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Wars and we will see what happens there end quote.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: So it doesn't sound like it's a sure thing, but
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: it does sound like maybe something that was considered to
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: be dead was only mostly dead.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Oh I love it speaking of old movies, which hurts
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: me to say that it's an old movie. Shrek two
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: is coming back to theaters because it's hitting its twenty
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: year anniversary. Oh my goodness. So it'll be returning to
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: theaters on April twelve. If you like the Shrek movies,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: go for some nostalgia. If you're not familiar, the jokes
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: probably won't land because they're time sensitive.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Large.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Now, that was one of the big differences between the
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: DreamWorks approach and Pixar's approach, right, was that DreamWorks jokes
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: were a lot more topical, and so you might watch
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: and you're like, oh, these are all references to stuff
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: that happened in the nineties, Like I don't yeah, not
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: really relevant anymore. Okay, Well, Finally, Netflix's live action adaptation
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: of Avatar the Last Airbender, which we mentioned earlier, is
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: going to get two more seasons of episodes before it
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: calls and quits. I have not yet watched the series.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: I have, as I said earlier, have seen some mixed reviews,
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: but none of them were as critical as the reviews
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: about the m Night shaml On version of the story.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: I'm glad the Avatar is going to get a chance
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: to tell a full story. It's not going to suffer
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: the same faith as Cowboy Bebop.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I'm glad it got enough viewership to cross
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: that hurdle. So that's it for thirty seconds or less.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Who Yeah, Now, we've got like a ton of actual stories,
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: like so many trailers, and we even cut quite a few.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: They're just trailers, so we might get through them kind
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: of quickly.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like the first one here here. The first one
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: is the trailer for the Wild Robot, which is from
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: dream Works, and I'll save you time. It's it's uh,
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: it's it's Wally meets Iron Giant.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: I never saw Iron Giant.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, it's so good, Ariel, It's.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: So good, so sad.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: It's sweet. It's like it's sad in the same way
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: that ET is sad.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: E T is sad.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Iron Giant sad like ET is sad. It really is
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: like Iron Giant is like ET. But if e T
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: were a two hundred foot tall Mega Death Robot, So.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, just you just give them the
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: right outfit. Uh. This trailer, I thought, well, it gave
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: me like kind of like goosebumps watching it because it's
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: so beautiful and it's so like emotional kind of from
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: the get go. And I want to watch it because
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: I want to support you said, it's kind of like
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: like Iron Giant and all that. I want to support
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: semi original movie ideas, right, beautiful art, But it looks
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: like there's going to be some animal endangerment in it
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: even though it's animated. That's going to give me, like
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: it gave me stress in the trailer, so I want
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: to watch it and support it.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Well, if it makes you feel any better. None of
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: those animals ever existed, so.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, no, no, I have a horrible it's like that.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: It's like that imaginary character from inside Out. I felt
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: nothing when he died because he never existed.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: You felt nothing when Bing Bong died.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't care at all. It didn't bother me,
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: even like to the point where I was like, why
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: are people sniffling? This is literally a character who was
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: only imaginary. I mean even in the context of the movie,
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: like they're all imaginary because we're watching an animated film.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: These are all imaginary characters, but this one's extra imaginary.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Ryan Reynolds would disagree with you with the movie.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: If yeah, well he can take it up with me,
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: except he's too busy running a football club in Wrexham, Wales.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Whatever the whatever House of Imaginary Friend, Dexter's House of
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Imaginary Friends or whatever that's not I don't think that's
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: the actual name from Nickelodeon that you were too old
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: to watch. No, it doesn't it doesn't help. They're ill
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: enough to me I'm invested in their little cartoon lives.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Well, also, Bing Bong's death was played for comedy a
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: little bit.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: I have to watch it again to be to be
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: able to chime in on that. But like this trailer
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: I thought was I thought it was a good trailer.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know that i'll go see because I feel
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: like I've already seen the movie just from the trailer.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: Like again, it's wearing its influences on its sleeve, in
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: my opinion, and so I kind of can see where
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: everything is going. Doesn't mean that it won't be told
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: beautifully and it won't be a beautiful version of that story,
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: but it's just like you know, sometimes you come across
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: a book where you already kind of know where everything's
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: gonna go before you even open it up. So you're like,
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: do I even take the time to read this book
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: because I kind of already know. But that's not to
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: say that this was a bad job with the trailer
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: or a bad job with the animation. I think the
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: animation looks great. So maybe it'll turn out that I'm
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: just completely off base and I'll end up seeing it
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: and it'll become one of my favorite animated films of
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: all time.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe maybe probably better than The Good
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Job The Good Dinosaur.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Well, okay, sure, yeah, I saw that film. That's one
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: of the movies I saw on a plane and I'm
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: barely remember it. That's how unmemorable The Good Dinosaur was interesting.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, sometimes you know when you pick up
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: a book where it's going to go, and sometimes you
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: have to read through, like the first chapter.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Aha, cute segue, Thank you for the Strangers chapter one.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: So I'm going to make a wild guess here, Ariel,
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: that you never saw the Strangers.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: I thought this was the first one.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: No, this is a prequel, is chapter one. So okay,
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: let me give you a little history lesson. Several years ago,
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: there was a home invasion horror movie called Funny Games
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: that was gosh, I can't remember what country of origin
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: that was for the original, but it was remade in America,
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: so there was an English language version that was made
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: as well. Same script though Funny Games, where in this
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: home invasion movie, these essentially young psychopaths terrorize a couple
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: and they're just doing it for laughs. Funny Games was
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: a weird film because they would break the bad guys
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: the Psychopaths would break the fourth wall and would address
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: the audience directly, because they would say that the audience
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: is complicit because they came to see this film, that
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: they are somewhat responsible for the terrible things that are
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: happening to the victims. It's a really interesting kind of
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: idea about the relationship between an audience and art. Then
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: you get to The Strangers. The Strangers is far more straightforward,
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: but it's another story about a couple that then gets
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: terrorized and tortured by young home invaders, who explained the
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: only reason they're doing it is because they were there, Like,
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: the couple was there, and that's like, that's the only reason.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: There's no other deeper meaning to it other than just
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: it was opportunity and they decided to torture them. So The
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: Strangers Chapter one is supposed to be somewhat of an
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: origin story, but really, to me, based upon this trailer,
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: while it's supposed to be an origin story, mostly to me,
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: it looks like a reboot or a remake of The Strangers.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: I'm like, this is the same movie.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. When you were describing the movie, I'm like,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: are you just describing the trailer I just watched because.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: It's why I put it on here, because, like I said,
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: it was interesting that these home invasion horror movies like
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: The Funny Games came out a year before The Strangers did,
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: which is not long enough for you to necessarily say
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: The Strangers was copying Funny Games, right, because when you
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: think about film production schedules, likely The Strangers was already
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: in production by the time Funny Games came out. But
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: it just felt like these two very similar ideas. Now
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: it looks like we're doing that same idea again, and
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: it doesn't seem different enough to me based upon this
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: trailer to make it feel like it really is a prequel.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: It just feels like it kind of feels like how
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: The Grudge has been retold multiple times. There are like
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: so many different versions of that film and they're all
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: the same movie.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I say, yeah, I haven't watched The Grudge.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: Oh it's so good, but no, it's not for you.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: It's not for me. By the way, Google says that
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: the first Funny Games was Austrian.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, Austrian. Yeah, I knew it was European, but I
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: was like, it's not French, it's not a French horror movie.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: I could not remember. It was Austrian.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Our next trailer is for uh, I think it's
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: a Netflix movie. It's it's for a streaming movie called
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: I Saw the Glow that I Saw the TV Glow,
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: which which is not about the all female wrestling show.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: No, it's not that glow. It's not the gorgeous Ladies
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: of Wrestling.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of about these kids who watched like
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: in Are You Afraid of the Dark goose Bumps esque
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: kind of series as kids, where there was like a
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Monster of the Week that the main characters had to defeat,
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: and now that they're adults, they feel, I guess, strangely
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: drawn to it and then maybe get sucked inside the
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: TV because it's actually real and maybe there are other
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: people that's it looked interesting. But I had a slightly
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: hard time following the trailer.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I think the trailer has purposefully made a
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: little a little hard to parse, so that it's hard
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: to tell like is this going to actually have elements
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: of the supernatural the paranormal or are the moments that
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: we're seeing really just within the imagination of characters And
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: it's kind of like a reflection of what their imaginations are.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: It's hard to say, and I honestly don't know if
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: it's if it's true or not, like if or which one,
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: which version of that, or if it's something totally different
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: from what we're guessing. I thought it was interesting. It
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: actually made me think of a creepy pasta, which I
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: can't remember the name of anymore. I'll you probably never
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: dove into creepy pasta, did you, Ariel. It's like like
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: fan written horror stories on the Internet.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: I don't think so, I'm doing.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: Like like slender slender Man. Slender Man came out of
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: creepy pasta, that kind of stuff.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't. I didn't know that. I've seen like
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: some slender Man clubs that so probably I've seen some
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: creepy pasta, but I haven't attributed to.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: Sure, absolutely there's one, and I don't remember the name
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: of it. Maybe it's like I can't remember the name
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: of the Maybe it was Candle Cove. I think it
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: was Candle Cove, where there was a creepypasta about some
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: mysterious children's show that both existed and didn't exist, like
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: kids saw.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: Really weird and bizarre. Yes, and it's like a smiling
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: son in a puppet probably.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: H It has been a very long time since I've
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: gone through that. But this is what kind of made
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: me think of it. When I was watching this trailer
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: was I was like, oh, is this going to be
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: like an adaptation of that concept? But it seems like
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: this is while pulling from similar ideas, It's not that gotcha.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: Uh. I don't know if I've seen Creep Candle Cove, Uh,
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: it looks it looks interesting to me. The thing that
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: I found really interesting about it is that the trailer
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: played almost like a Billboard magazine. In fact, they said
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: this is has like an instantly like iconic soundtrack.
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: To it, Yeah, which feels very Garden State to me.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was. It was a weird call out
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: for a streaming movie.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: I think, Yeah, it's not the kind of thing that
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: I would immediately start to. I wouldn't look to a
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: movie like this to have like an iconic soundtrack. It's
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: not like the movies I think of that have that
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: sort of vibe to them typically are movies where the
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: music plays a big part in the film itself. So
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: Garden State's one example that's very like hipster kind of
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: tweet sort of thing. But like high Fidelity would be
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: another example, or to name another John Cusack movie, Gross
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: point blank would be another one. Those are ones where
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: I think like the soundtrack plays a big part because
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: it's almost like the soundtrack is another character in the
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: film that you're watching.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: Or you know, Garden Guardians of the Galaxy or Hudson.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: Hawk or other good examples. Yeah, Hudson Hawk because it's
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: part of the plot, you know they use they use
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: songs to keep time during heists. Because that makes sense.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: Watches don't need to exist.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: Such a good bad movie.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: I listen. I love Hudson Hawk. I actually don't think
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: it's as bad as a lot of people say it is.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: It's not good, it's very very schlocky, but I don't
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: think it's as bad like it got a reputation for
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: being one of the worst movies ever made, and I
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: don't think it even comes close, because as weird as
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: that movie is, it's never dishwater dull, and I think
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: the worst movies fall into dishwater dull.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: It is. It is satirically over the top, yes, but
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: I feel like that's on purpose.
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, Yeah, No, I mean there's no way that was
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: an accident. Anyway. I saw the TV glow. Interesting trail,
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: check it out, but yeah, I'm not sure what to
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: think about that yet.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: This next trailer, I'm gonna say I watched it. I
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: didn't watch it because you put it in here. I
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: watched it because I was doing laundry and watching some
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: critical role while putting away laundry, and the TV in
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: my bedroom is on top of my like my sock drawer,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: and it came on and scared the Jesus out of
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: me while I was rolling and putting socks away.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So the trailer the aerial is alluding to is
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: the trailer for the new Inside Out movie. No, I'm kidding,
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: I'm kidding. It's the trailer for the First Omen, which
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: of course is a prequel to the classic horror movie
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: The Omen. So the First Omen is set before that.
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: There have been six films in the Omen franchise over
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: the course of like five decades. So the First Omen
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: details sort of a almost like a It almost like
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: it's like a conspiracy slash mystery horror movie where apparently
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: people like figures in the church, meaning the Catholic Church,
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: are orchestrating the birth of the Antichrist for reasons that
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: I don't understand, but that seems to be the gist
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: of what the trailer suggests from what I from my reading.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: Anyway, Yeah, I I didn't super follow. I honestly at
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: first thought it was a part of the Nun franchise
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: or the other the other one that's weird and creepy,
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: that's had a bunch. There was a trailer we watched
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: recently that had like a nun in some magazines on
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: a subway station. That's what I thought it was.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, that one. I think that one was the Nun.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: I think that was one of the nun ones or
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: hereditary year. I think it was. I think it was
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: the Nun too. None of your business is what that
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: one was? So or Ariel ain't have a none of that.
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: I think that was the one you mentioned. I was
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: at first thinking you were talking about that other religious
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: themed horror movie trailer we watched recently, and that title
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: I can't remember at all at the moment. I just
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: remember there was like a dramatic scene where you see
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: one one woman just steps off and alleged and falls
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: to her death and like I.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: Can't is that good or Poor Things?
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: Because no, it's not poor things. It's not poor things?
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: Is it?
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: Is it the Russell Crowe does the Da Vinci Code movie.
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: It's not the Pope sex or syst either, now, Colly,
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: I would have to go back and look at our
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: our various uh lineups to find out which one it was.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: So was it the Suicide Squad? Is the Aki is?
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: No? Because That'szekai, because that's that's in that's into Why
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: don't you talk about that because that's in today's that's
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: in today's lineup. I'll look over our previous episodes to
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: see if I can find out what I'm what's bugging
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: my memory? So tell us about the Suicide Squad trailer.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so this is an anime I think based
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: off it looks like it's it's an actual DC property,
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: and it's based off of James Guns. The yes, James Guns,
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: the Suicide Squad, so like peace Makers in there and uh,
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: you know the current DC version of Harley Quinn or
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: the most recent DC version of Harley Quinn, et cetera.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: It honestly looks kind of interesting to me. I like
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: DC animated stuff, and it looks like a It looks
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: like it definitely hits the anime anime vibes, and it
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: looks very self referential, so almost like they're putting a
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: Deadpool spin on it. But I'm gonna watch it.
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: Cool, Yeah, I uh, I thought I thought it looked
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: actually impact. I don't know if I'm gonna watch it
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: because it like, I mean, so the version we saw.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: The trailer we saw was subtitled, right, because it's all
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: in Japanese, and so it's subtitled in English. And I
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: don't mind subtitles. I know some people do. I don't
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: mind them. But this animation style is so fast moving
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: that I felt like I was missing a lot of
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: the cool stuff happening in the trailer because I was
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: busy trying to read the subtitles to see what people
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: were saying. And if that's the experience I'm gonna have
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: while watching the show, Like, I much prefer subtitles to dubbed,
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: don't get me wrong, but I don't want to have
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: to watch this thing twice once so I know what
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: everyone's saying, and once so I can see what the
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: heck they're doing.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know what I like doing? I like
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: watching the dubbed version with subtitles because they don't match up.
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which, by the way, that starts to make you wonder,
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: like which version is more true to the original.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, thankfully. I have a lot of friends who
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: are learning foreign languages that could probably tell me or
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: speak the natively. I suspect we'll get a dubbed version
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: of this.
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: Probably at some point. Probably a lot of people prefer
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: dubbed to subtitled. I think people who identify themselves as
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: quote unquote true fans often will dismiss dubs because they
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: want to hear the original actors. But let me tell y'all,
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: there are cases where I've heard the original actors of
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: stuff like Japanese animation. They're not always superior. They can be,
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: but it's not always better.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Sometimes you're like, well, that's someone who's clearly putting
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: on a voice, because it doesn't sound even remotely.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: I felt that way about the dubs in Squid Game.
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I didn't care for the dubbed version of
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: Squid Games. So, like, the same thing can be true
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: of dubbed versions, obviously, Like, occasionally you'll get people who
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: are phenomenal voice actors and who are you know working
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: with material and will do a really good job. But
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: other times you get like the worst dubs where you're
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: getting incredibly inappropriate emotional reads onlines and things like that.
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you wonder if they even were given the film
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: footage to react to.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm sure some of that has to do
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: with you know, they do try to line up what
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: you're saying with the mouth.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking, that is true, Yeah, like it's otherwise it
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: can be a little distracting.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, something that I don't I don't have a
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: good segue. I was going to make something up and
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: then I was like, no, that's a poop said segue,
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: and I'm not going to say it. We got a
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: new trailer for Fallout though, and that looks I think
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: really cool.
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: Fallout does look pretty cool, Like I would probably put
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: it behind The Last of Us as far as an
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: adaptation that has me excited like the Last of Us.
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: When I saw the trailers for that, I was taken
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: by how well they had captured the spirit of the game. This.
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: I feel like they're doing a pretty good job. I
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: feel like they're closer to the spirit of Fallout than
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: the Borderlands movie is to the spirit of the Borderlands games.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: I agree, And and Fallout does this weird thing, Like
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: I know, for some people, some of my friends, the
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: Fallout games don't stylistically hit them, even though like on paper,
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: they entirely should. And I think it's just there's a
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: in Fallout, there's a like a sometimes it's really funny
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: and sometimes it's really serious.
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, it does tonal inconsistencies. Yeah, you can come
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: across a scene where it's absolutely horrific, followed immediately by
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: goofy robot making, you know, making humorous statements. Yeah, it,
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: Fallout is totally inconsistent, And I get that, Like I
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: feel the same way, but the esthetic really appeals to me.
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: I've always found it esthetically very pleasing.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: Same, And I think that this trailer at least smooths
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: out some of that tonal inconsistency that I've felt in
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: the game. At least in the trailer. You know, when
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: they're telling a longer story, it may not hold true.
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: And Walton Goggins looks fantastic as a ghoul, and his
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: performance looks like it's going to be one of the
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: really like the compelling anchors of this show.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know that that is one of those
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: actors that like does such great work and oftentimes lies
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: under the radar.
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he also plays a lot of terrible, terrible people,
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: like like in The Hateful Eight. Like he's he's a
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: real I mean, everyone in The Hateful Eight is terrible.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: That's kind of the point. But his character is really
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: awful and he does such a good job with it.
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: And yeah, I really love his performances. He commits so
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: much to whatever role he's doing, and they're not as
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: as often as he plays awful people. They are awful
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: people who are very different from each other. It's not
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: like he's playing the same character no matter what film
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: he's in, right, Like, it's very distinct.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I like, I like watching his work. I
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: look and this in particular, I'm like, I cannot wait
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: to see him do this role.
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: So well. Next up, we've got the trailer for the
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: Inside Out sequel. This is a story about a nun
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: who goes to Rome in order to stop the Catholic
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: Church from bringing about the birth of the Antichrist.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: Or I might have clicked on the wrong link, it
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: sounds accurate.
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: Pixar is fun filled anti Christ extravaganza.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: Sometimes that's what it feels like when you're going through puberty,
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: if I remember.
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so obviously, the inside Out sequel is returning us
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: to the beloved emotions in control of a character whose
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: name I don't remember anymore. Do you remember the name?
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: You don't remember her name?
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: It's Riley?
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: Okay, so I didn't even have to look it up,
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: but you almost did. Yeah, So, like, let's not give
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: you too much credit. I deserve no credit at all.
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: I couldn't remember Riley, but yeah, So it's it's the emotions.
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: And of course, as Riley is going through puberty, new
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: emotions emerge and like things like shame. And in the
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: trailer we see the new emotions kind of lock away
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: the old emotions, claiming that their old emotions are too
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: simplistic and not not relevant anymore, and that appears to
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: be the based upon this trailer, the central conflict of
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: the movie.
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not. I do like the sar. There's a
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: point in the trailer where they speak across a sarcasm yes,
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: which is very funny. I like Pixar sequels don't always
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: hit me super well. I'll I don't know if I'm
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: gonna watch it, but I am excited for one thing,
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: which is it's so dumb. But I was doing like
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: like an emotional improv game at one point in the
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: last five years, and I said Onui, and nobody else
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: in the improv circle knew what that was.
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they need to just so they need to go
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: visit Paris. If you visit Paris, you will experience on
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: Wei firsthand. Maybe not personally, but it'll definitely be all
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: around you.
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: Well, and then I followed up with Twitter painted, which
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: nobody also understood, and.
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: I was like, you gotta gotta, you gotta watch Bambi. Yeah.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: I figured that kids nowadays still did, but maybe that's
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: not the case.
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh so, yeah it looks cute. I mean, I
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: kind of I understand where you're coming from with like
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: the whole Pixar sequels thing. I think Toy Story two
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: is maybe the only Pixar sequel that I really clicked with.
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: I thought Finding Dory was okay. I hated the Cars sequels.
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: Actually I should just say I hated Cars too. I
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: don't think I even saw Cars three, So I totally
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: get what you're saying. I think this looks fine. Honestly,
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: when I watched the trailer, I thought to myself, this
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: feels like a premise that could have been done in
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: a short as opposed to a feature length film.
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I agree, But shorts don't Shorts don't bring
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: in the money.
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: So they don't pays the bills, as they say. One
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: person who should have very little problem paying the bills
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: is Nick Cage because he's been encast in every single
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: project that's ever been made.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: Except for He also buys a lot of really expensive things.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: He's a collector.
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: I want to say that he actually had tax issues once,
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: so maybe I shouldn't make the joke that he can
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: afford anything. But no, the reason why I made that
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: stupid joke is because our next trailer that we want
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: to talk about is Arcadian, which features Nick Cage. Is
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: he is not like the main focus of the movie,
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: but he is an important character in the film, and
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: it's a horror film, which was giving me vibes of
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: a quiet place, a lot of like a quiet place.
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: But it's also, from what I've read, really akin to
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: James Cameron's Aliens.
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: Oh interesting, it gave me like m Night Shamalion's signs. Yeah,
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: so vibes, which I actually enjoyed that movie.
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: So the premise is it's set in a let's let's
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: all say it together, a post apocalyptic.
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: Or the utopia.
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: No, not quite there. I mean, yes, we both hate people,
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: but no, not a utopia. No, it's a post apocalyptic
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: landscape where at night these creatures come out. They mostly
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: come out at night, mostly uh. And then they they
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: like absolutely lay waste to anything that's caught outside at night.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: And so every night you have to board up your
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: home and be real quiet and just kind of hope
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: you can make it through. And so the story takes
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: place with Nick Cage playing a character who has two
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: teenage sons and the events of the film are happening
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: like fifteen years after whatever event caused this to start
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: in the first place, and one of his two sons
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: gets caught outside at night, and then hilarity ensues or horror,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: one of the two horror.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: I actually read after watching the trailer. I read an
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: article about it because I was really curious to see
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: what the aliens are the monsters. Yeah, you said it
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: was a kid to aliens, and that's what got stuck
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: in my brain. Yeah, And I figured they were just
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: going to be like creepy, dirty pollution people. But apparently
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: that's not the case. But apparently the kids like to
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: play what brought on the Apocalypse game in the movie,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: and I think that that's a delightful touch. This actually
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: looked really interested to me. This is this is one
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: that I'm I'll have to watch. I'll have to like
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: read the spoilers about it first, but I might actually
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: watch it.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: For one thing, you need to find out if the
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: dog lives.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, that is very, very true. I had that thought
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: when I was watching it, and I forgot till now,
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: so thank you for reminding me.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because there's a dog in the trailer, so it's
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: a pet dog, so obviously I immediately I'm looking out
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: for you, Ariel, although I'm the same way.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but maybe the dog belongs to the others.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: In which case he's just the family's just cool with
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: him being in the house because he's in the house.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: He's a spy, he's like undercover.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: I got he's Yeah, he's a century he's vanguard.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: But I don't actually want that to happen because I
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: don't want the family have to have to harm the
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: dog either.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a it looks, it looks, it looks interesting.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: The review I saw gave it three stars, but I
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: don't know how many stars is max. I think five,
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: so three out of five it's better than average. But yeah,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: it looked to me like like I kept having a
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: quiet place thoughts about it, because again, a quiet place,
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: post apocalyptic monster threat, family trying to keep itself protected.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: Like it just felt very similar. And from what I understand,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: that's the biggest weakness of this film is not that
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: it tells a story poorly, but it tells a story
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: that's been told a lot in recent years.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: Gotcha, And here I was looking forward to a more
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: grounded version of nix Kid's Cage's performance and color out
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: of Space.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: You know, I still haven't seen that, but it keeps
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: getting recommended to me.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: It is. It's a lot, Okay, I mean you're familiar
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: with this story. It's a lot, and Nick Cage goes
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: off the rails, but in a very good way. Like
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: I can't say I recommend the movie because a lot
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: of people that might watch it that I know wouldn't
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: enjoy it, but you probably would.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, maybe I'll finally do that after I watch
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: everything else that's on my list, So.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: I actually I actually bought the DVD of it. It
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: was like three dollars at a Walmart bargain bin. But
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: then I gifted it to a friend for their birthday.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: Well, speaking of things that were on my list for
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: the longest time, the Crow was on my list. I'll
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: talk about the original one. But then I saw it
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: in the theater, and then I watched one of the Terrible, Terrible,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: Terrible sequels. I can't remember which one, but I did
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: it for a different podcast many years ago, and I
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: remember it was horrible. But The Crow is one of
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: those guilty pleasure movies for me because it's, you know,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: essentially just a revenge film, is really what The Crow is.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: It's based off graphic novels and stuff. And now we're
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: getting a reboot of the Crow series, or really it
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: doesn't even have to be a reboot. It could literally
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: just be another chapter in it, because The Crow follows
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: different characters who take on the persona of this sort
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: of revenant, undead vengeance machine called The Crow. And we
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: got a trailer for it. What did you think of
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: the trailer for The Crow?
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: So I didn't watch the original Crow until I met
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: my husband. He introduced me to it and I enjoyed
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: it. It was fun. It was like, you know, I like
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: Van Helsing, I like Dylan Dog Dead of Night. It
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: kind of fell into it was more serious, but it
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: fell into that realm of realism. To me, this trailer
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: it didn't grab me at all in any way.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I hear you. I want to say that, like
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: I'm intrigued, but I'm not really because again, like if
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: you if you're familiar with the source material at all,
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: what or that's the earlier films or the actual graphic
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: novels or whatever. Again, like you know where this is
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: going to go. You know where this film's going from
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: the beginning. It's just a question of how does it
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: get from point A to point B? And esthetically, it
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: didn't really appeal to me the same way that the
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: original Crow film did.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's got more of this is this is
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: quoting a friend of mine who said it's got more
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: of an Edgeloord vibe and than a goth.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: Vibe and his Crow makeup. When we finally see it
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: toward the end of the tailer looks made me think
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: more of like.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: Like Uh, the wocking Phoenix is the Joker.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly what I was going to say. It
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: does feel much more joker esque than Also, it's weird
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: because this is a tangent honestly. So, the professional wrestler
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: Sting took on a Crow like persona when he wrestled
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: at WCW way back in the day, and then he
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: did it a little bit in WWE before he got hurt. Well,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: he recently had his retirement match, his last match ever,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: and so he had made the Crow make up really
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: iconic in the wrestling world, and it was interesting to me, like,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: you know, he clearly took it from the Crow, like
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: there was no denying, there was no there's no mistaking it.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: It was very much inspired by the original Crow film,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: and so it was interesting to me but not compelling
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: to me that they decided not to go with a
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: look that pulled from that same esthetic. Like there's little
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: elements of it, but it's mostly like Runny Mesquerra, it's
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: not I don't know, it just didn't hit me.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I agree, which is sad. But also I
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: didn't think The Crow needed a remake.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, I don't necessarily object to a
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: remake because it's one of those stories where like, if
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: you were to go back and watch the first Crow film,
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: there's no question about it. It's a very dated film, right,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: Like it's gonna look dated, and that's not necessarily a
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: bad thing, but it may not have the impact that
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: an updated version does. But again, without the really dramatic aesthetics,
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: I just don't think it. I just don't think there's
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: enough there. It's it's just another like ghostly revenge story.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and we have plenty Constantine and John Wick that
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: has flooded the market in recent years.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, Yeah, like there's no shortage of this is an
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: unstoppable killing force out out for revenge type movies like that.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: We've had plenty of those in the last decade. Ye
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: One thing we had a lot of for almost twenty
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: one years was content from an online media company called
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: Rooster Teeth, which started back on April first, two thousand
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: and three, with the launch of their flagship animated series
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: machine animated series Red Versus Blue. And now Warner Brothers
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: Discovery is shutting down Rooster Teeth. The story is that
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: the studio has not been profitable for a decade, interestingly enough,
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: if you go back a decade, that's right around the
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: time Rooster Teeth was acquired by a company called Full Screen,
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: and before that, Rooster Teeth was an independent company. So
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: draw your own conclusions. But very sad story. A lot
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: of very talented people who have worked at that studio
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: over the years and who currently work there. It's not
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: shut down yet, but it won't be long before it is,
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: and there are a lot of questions up in the
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: air about what will happen to the various properties that
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: belong to the studio, whether or not they'll continue under
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: some new ownership, or if they'll just kind of fizzle out.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: On one side, Red Versus Blue was already scheduled to
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: have to publish its final season, which has already written
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: and produced and everything, so that story will be finished.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: But other series, like Ruby, it's not as certain.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, WB is saying that they are going to release
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff that hasn't been released, but as
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: in the works, we'll see if they actually hold to that,
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: because we know what that parent company has done with
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: some other properties recently.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, WB is very good at not releasing things
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: that are finished.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know, maybe maybe a like another independent
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: platform like Dropout or something will collaborate, who knows. But
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: don't worry. We're losing original content, but we're getting a
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: reboot of old, old, old content. There's a refer Madness
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: revival happening in La on May thirtieth. It's an all
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: star team doing it. It's Kristen Bell, Christian Campbell, Allen
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: comming and then like a choreographer from Spencer Lift from
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: So you think you can dance since Bring Awakening. It's
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be a very good performance, honestly.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: And to be clear, this is refer Madness the musical.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, not the old thirties anti drug film.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Instead, it's the musical that makes fun of the
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: old nineteen thirties anti drug movie. Yeah. So I was
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: unfamiliar with refer Madness the musical until Showtime did a
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: filmed version of it, like an actual movie version of
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: the musical. And when that I saw that, I thought, wow,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: this is really entertaining, Like there's some great songs in here.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: It is very silly in how it's sending up that
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: original film. If you've never seen the original film, is
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: just full of hysteria. Around marijuana, and it is hilarious
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: because it's it's treating marijuana like like it will drive
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: you in crazy and you will become the murderous psychopath.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: It's so weird and over the top. So the musical
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: makes fun of that, right. And now, these folks like
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: Kristen Bell and Christian Campbell were part of the original
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: cast when this was just a show in Los Angeles,
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: before it ever became anything else. Kristen Bell would then
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: they would end up being Christin Bell would be in
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: the film version as well. Actually, Christian Campbell did too.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: Christian Campbell, brother of Nev Campbell, who also appeared in
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: the film in a part that was made just for
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: her for the purposes of the movie. Yeah.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that should be fun if you're in that area.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: That's probably not one that I'm going to travel for,
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: but I'm sure it's going to be a great, a
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: great time.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: I wish I could travel to go see that because
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: it is such a silly show. And I love Alan Comming,
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: and I love Kristin Belly, and I would love to
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: see this. It's like the piece that we pulled from
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: the Hollywood Reporter piece. Obviously, all these folks are involved
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: in the production. I'm still not clear if they're starring
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: in it because it's twenty five years later and they're
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: playing like Kristin Campbell and Kristen Bell are were already
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: older than the characters they were playing, which are supposed
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: to be like these high school sweethearts. Now they're twenty
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: five years older than that.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: So I don't know, probably funnier if they play the
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: original character.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: I think so too. I just don't know, like you
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: could make it a whole thing. I think it works
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: better on stage anyway, Like it's not going to be
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: a Dear Evan Hanson where everyone looks at Evan Hanson
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: and say says, why is this thirty five year old
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: man going to high school?
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, speaking of old men playing children, Yeah, this
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: one's all you. So there's this children's book called Harold
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: in the Purple Cran that apparently Jonathan never read as
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: a kid. Nope, about this little boy who had a
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: purple cran and could draw things and they'd kind of
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: come to life. Adorable story. It's adorable children's series. It's
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: actually I played a changeling game when I was a
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: young adult. Like the Changeling RPG, where I was playing
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: a character who had a purple cran and would go
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: around and draw things because they so loved that book
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: growing up that when they became a fairy person, they
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: did that. So that tells you my love for the IP.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: But in this Zachary Levi is playing Harold, a grown
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: up Harold with some friends, and I guess he draws
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: purple things. I forgot that this is gonna be a thing.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: I feel like maybe we briefly talked about it at
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: one point, because that I saw they released a new poster,
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: which is why it's coming up again. But then I
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: looked at the original poster. I'm like, maybe I did
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: see that this was happening.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the original poster was not a good idea, No, no,
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: I saw when I saw that original poster, it looked
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: like there was something else being held in that hand.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: Ah yep, yep, yep, I see it. Anyhow, they were
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: probably trying to avoid having to pay like royalties to
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: Creola for having like an id identifiable like cran paper
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: on it. But it does hurt it, so anyhow, that's happening.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: Zoey Deschanel is also in a Little Ray Howry and
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: Jamaine Clement so great cast if you ask me, if
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: you ask Jonathan, he'll probably say, like, semi great cast.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: And I mean they got Jamaine Clement, so that's that's
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: a big plus. But Zoe Deschanel, that's a huge minus.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: I still hold that if you ever get into New
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: Girl and give it a couple episodes, you know that
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: you would change your mind about her.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, ten Man just did a number on me.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: Ten Man is not like ten Man and one hundred
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: or sorry, tin Man and Elf are not a good
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: example of her acting prowess at all.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, at all.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: Well, those were bad things for her to be. And
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: I and again, it's really good to give New Girl trying.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: It's only fair that I do because clearly, like Alan
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: Cumming is also in ten Man, and I still love
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: Elan cummings work, so I should give her another chance.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: I think, I think, I really think that New Girl
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: is where she was able to be her like a quirky,
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: as you put it, tweet personality that just was absolutely
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: charming and delightful and relatable and maybe more relatable to
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: me than to you because an awkward school teacher. But
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: give it a shot. At some point add it to
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: your ever growing list of things you won't watch.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'll do that.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: So our last one, our last story. This one's actually
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: a little outside of our normal purview in a way,
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: which is that we got some cast additions to the
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: upcoming film SNL nineteen seventy five, which tells the story
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: of what was going on leading up to the very
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: first broadcast of Saturday Night Live for the very first episode.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I put it in there because I don't know.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: In my brain, Saturday Night Live often rides like a
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: ligne with like Broadway stuff. Sure, and it's creativity because
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: well it's also in New York.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: But well, it has a big impact on pop culture
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: in general. Right, Like, there are eras of Saturday Night
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: Live when the show was really going well where it
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: would not just shape humor in many ways, but it
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: kind of set people up to becoming the next wave
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: of comedic powerhouses in Hollywood. Right, So, like Will Ferrell
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: comes from there, Steve Martin and Chevy Chase, like dan Aykroyd.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: You're talking about folks who got really got their start
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: at Saturday Night Live and then went on to become
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: these huge forces in not just comedy, like some of
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: them have done drama as well. But like that's Bill
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: Hayter's another great example, right, Like there'd be no Berry
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: without Saturday Night Live. Yeah, So like I can see
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: why there's that importance. And this is interesting because it
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: is going to be kind of detailing the convergence of
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: stuff that had to happen for that first show to
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: even be a thing. And I expect this will be
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: very high energy and we'll probably see characters indulging in
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: illicit substances because at least a couple of them were
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: very well known for that.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, probably especially in the seventies. It is it's based
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: off a bunch of interviews, and the reason I included
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: it is because there are a lot of geeky people
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: working on it. Finn Wolfhart was just announced as cast
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: a cast member from Stranger Things and a bazillion other things,
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: including including Ghostbusters Afterlife and Ghostbusters.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: Let Go Yeah, Ghostbusters, Baby It's Cold Outside.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: Baby It's Cold Outside, which, interestingly, Jason Rightman and Gil Keenan,
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: who are who wrote the script for this movie SNL
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy five, also are the team behind Ghostbusters
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: Afterlife in Ghostbusters, Baby it's cold outside. Yeah, So I
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: this actually it sounds interesting to me and I might
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: watch it.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: Well. And I so, I was born in the seventies,
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: but I was I was now, I was far far
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: too young to watch Saturday Night Live when I was
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: a little kid, But like, subsequently there would be reruns
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: of old Saturday Night Live shows that would be on
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: various channels. So I watched a lot of Saturday Night
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: Live from the original nineteen seventies era. These would usually
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: be edited down episodes like often they did include the
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: musical guest, for example, and they would probably cut some
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: of the more like some of the some of the
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: sketches that bombed totally, they would cut until you would
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: get to the early nineteen eighties where that's just the
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: show everything bombs. Once Eddie Murphy left the show, things
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: really went downhill. But I watched a lot of those
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: and so I have some curiosity about this. It's interesting
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: to me that this movie is even being made because
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: like I would only think that people around my age
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: or older would even be familiar with the nineteen seventies
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: era of Saturday Night Live. So the audience is kind
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: of limited, but they are casting a lot of you know,
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: very young actors to play age appropriate versions of the
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 2: real life people who were you know, putting together Saurday
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: Night Live. So maybe that will draw in younger audiences.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: Just spoke who are fans of these younger actors and.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: Like current SNL, not all of the cast members. A
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: lot of the cast members of SNL tend to be
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: very young because they're comedians and writers that are trying
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: to get their start. Yeah, so if you're a fan
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: of Current SNL, then you might go, oh, I like SNL,
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: so I've watched some of the classic stuff, right, or
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: I want to check out and see how it got started.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: I will say, like I still occasionally watch SNL. It
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: depends on the guest, you know, and so some of
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: it's really good and a lot of it's But I
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: still hold that Colin just and Jos and Michael ja
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: are the best Weekend Update presenters ever.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 2: They're incredible. They're incredible. Yeah, Seth Meyers was really good
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 2: back in the day. But those two together, the chemistry
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: they have and the fact that they annually have that
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: thing where they'll write the jokes for the other person
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: and they aren't out to see what the jokes are
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: until it's live. That's an incredible bit, and it's like
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: it's so high pressure, high risk, high reward, it's it
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 2: really is incredible, so they hit on something really special.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's my favorite part of the show unless Adam
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: Driver is a special guest, because man, he commits to
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: those skits so hard.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: I also really like Pedro Pascal. I felt that he
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 2: was like, I mean, he did break pretty regularly, but
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: apart from that, like his mushmouth la speak stuff is hilarious,
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: which I've actually seen him do on late night TV
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: as well, and it's still just as funny. But yeah,
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 2: I'm curious about this, Like I hope that it will
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: be entertaining and funny in parts and not just dramatic.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: Like I get that there's a lot of drama happening too.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 2: You've got a lot of egos as well, Like this
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 2: isn't just a bunch of friends putting a show together.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: These are a bunch of ambitious comedians and writers, and
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: so there's a lot of egos at present, and I'm
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: sure not everyone got along, so that I'm sure will
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: be a part of it as well. But yeah, I'm
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 2: curious about this. Yeah, before we sign off. One thing
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 2: that we did not talk about, but it was on
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: our lineup and we just kind of skipped over it
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: was that, you know, the Oscars happened while we were
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: on hiatus, and I know that you didn't watch the ceremony.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: I didn't watch the ceremony when it was actually happening.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 2: Have you caught any of the segments or anything since then?
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, So I watched bits and pieces of it. I
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: had family in town, so I wasn't able to watch
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: a full thing. I did watch the Best Original Screenplay
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: portion because one of my acting coaches and dear friends
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: was in one of the dominated movies made December, and
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: the clip that the Oscars was using like on TikTok
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: and social media where they would show like some of
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: the script and they'd show the scene above, it was
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: her scene in the movie. So I was super, super
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: excited to see her be on the Oscars because she's
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: a phenomenal actress and a wonderful person. Julie, I know
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: you don't listen bit you rock and uh they changed
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: the they changed the scene, they changed the Oscar show. Yeah,
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: I was so upset, but but I did. I watched
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: the bit with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 2: That's fantastic, a great bit, and Michael Keaton.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: And Michael Keat doesn't I thought it was going to
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: be a Twins reference, but it was.
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the whole joke, right, Like they set
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: it up to make it seem like it's going to
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 2: be a reference to Twins because we also know, you know,
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 2: the work on the sequel for Twins, and instead of
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 2: it being about Twins or its sequel, it ends up
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 2: being a joke about how they both were beaten up
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 2: by Batman. Yeah, that was great. I love that, and
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 2: I loved I watched the I'm Just Ken performance.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: Did you watch John Cena present the Costuming Award.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: I am aware of what happened, but I have not
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: actually watched that.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: Segment apparently, and I only found this out after the fact.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: It was in solidarity with like costumers asking for better
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: pay and such like.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the idea being that you're naked without us, right
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, it's a it's a very funny bit. I
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: suggest you watch it. Also, if you see the behind
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: the scenes pictures, John Cena is not actually naked. He's
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: in a strapless thong. It's not even a thong, He's
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: in strapless underwear, so it's like a big padded piece
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: in the front, and then a horrible, like unflattering, giant
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: flap of fabric that's taped to his backside, so you
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: don't see anything untoured, not even butt crack. But even
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: I can't make that piece of clothing look sexy.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so the things I heard about the oscars were
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 2: largely positive. Oh I also saw the bit between Emily
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: Blunt and Ryan Gosling where they're razzing each other over
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: Oppenheimer and Barbie. Oh you didn't, Yeah.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: I didn't, but I am looking forward to seeing them
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: both in Fall Guy, so I'll have to check.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you'll have to watch the little segment between
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 2: the two of them because it's scripted, obviously, but it's
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 2: scripted as they're insulting each other over Barbie and Oppenheimer
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: and like they're sniping a bed at each other and
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: it's just very funny. And then like the Margo Robbie's
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: reaction shots are fantastic too, So yeah, that's definitely worth seeing.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: So I heard like most people seem to have a
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: good time I don't know what the general reaction is
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: as to the outcome of the Oscars, because obviously I'm
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 2: getting seeing some people were probably upset that, you know,
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 2: over some of the winners that happens every year. There
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: was at least one that surprised me. But I would
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: have to look them all up now to be able
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 2: to tell you which one it was. I just remember
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: looking at them and I'm like, oh wow, really.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sad I missed it. I loved spending time
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: with family, so I'm not I don't regret that at all,
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: but I do. I do enjoy watching them because I
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: like watching the people who make all of the stuff
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: that we enjoy all year kind of get to have
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: fun with it, which is what they've been trending towards lately.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: So, but this has been an incredibly long episode that
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: will lead me little to know editing, So we should
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: probably wrap it up. Yes, yes, so, Jonathan, if they
