Speaker 1 (00:09):
Hey, everybody, Welcome to the Large nur John Collider podcast,
the podcast that's all about the geeky things happening in
the world around us and how very excited we are
about them. I'm Ariel Castin and with me is always
is the wonderful Jonathan Strickland.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Happy Valentine's Day to all you lovers out there.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Oh are we doing like a nineties radio show this week?

Speaker 2 (00:33):
No? No, that was that was the grand extent of
my My Smooth Operator delivery.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
You could try to do it the whole episode.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
That would be pretty fair, It would be it would
be disastrous.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Just just because we uh we you know, skipped last week.
It feels like we haven't recorded in forever, but.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
That's not creat we've had. Yeah, we've kind of accidentally
gone to a bike weekly schedule, but it's just because
of various travel and other conflicts that have popped up
that have precluded us from being able to record. And
in fact, Ariel and I are both going to be

(01:15):
traveling later today. So this is going to be I
say this every time and it never is true, but
a quick episode of Larger Drunk Collider.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
You're gonna chinx this.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
We've got a lot of stuff on here. We do
less than we did because I was brutal when I
went in to edit stuff out.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
You really were, But you also added in some thirty
seconds or less last minute. I'm glad I looked, because
I was like, oh.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yeah, well yeah, but those are thirty seconds each. So
I figured that adding a couple of those is okay.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
That is fine. No, it's fine to add thirty seconds
or less. But I was like, it does takes a
little longer than thirty seconds to turn up.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Oh yeah, yeah, you gotta read. Yeah, some of them
have multiple points, and then you have to decide, Okay,
which one of these am I going to present, because
if I try and present them all, it'll be a
four and a half minutes or less, yeah, for sure.
But before we get into any of that, we have
some formalities to get through, the first of which is

(02:16):
our question of the week, and in honor of Valentine's Day,
that glorious day of greeting cards, convincing us that we
need to set just one day apart to tell our
loved ones how much they mean to us and forget
about them the rest of the year. My question to you,
Ariel is who is a fictional character crush that you have?

(02:41):
And this is not to suggest that you only have one,
or even that you have one. Maybe you don't. But
is there a fictional character upon whom you have crushed?
Let's set aside a certain mayor of the Georgia Renaissance Festival.
We all know about that one.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Well, now, I don't have any answers, No I do.
I've had several crushes. And it's hard because everybody knows
that I kind of dissect things as I watch them,
and I'm looking at it from both the meta perspective
of being an actor and also from whatever we've kind
of done that my whole life. Like I had a
crush on various rolls of Dick van Dyke throughout his life.

(03:22):
Who hasn't but and and sometimes it's like a particular
actor's performance of for instance, Gary Oldman and Rosea Grants
and Guildenstern are dead. I had a crush on his character,
which then led to a crush of Gary Oldman.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
I think that.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Gonna say I was gonna say, mister Tumnus when I
was a kid.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Wow, But I don't know that that's freaky.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
I don't know that that's true. Well, it's like a
nice character when you're reading a book. It doesn't always.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Getting into ghosts.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
Okay, okay, how many people have had crushes on Disney's
Robin Hood the Fox or gadget.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
That is legit? That is legit there, yeah, or or
the the Max's love interest in a Goofy movie that
was a big one for or if you want to
go with Warner Brothers, Lola Bunny like that's another.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
So like it's it's not that like and personality is
a lot of it for those characters. I think as well.
It's not that I'm like, oh I find it in
this fox sexy, but like there's a charisma that they have, right,
and there's a kindness that mister Tumnins has. But I
think one of I mean there's so many. There's so

(04:40):
many because like I just I love great, interesting personalities.
I love roguish characters. So I think the one that
has followed through for a good while is Gambit from
The X Men. I mean, not every iteration. Sometimes he
can be a bit whiny, but uh, he's such a
fun character. And I used to think he was super
cute and cartoon with his little crop tops.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Having a lot today?

Speaker 1 (05:09):
What is wrong with that?

Speaker 2 (05:10):
It wasn't a criticism, It wasn't a criticism, It was
just a statement.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yeah yeah. I mean so like, I've had a lot
of quote unquote crushes, but a lot of it is
just like half of them are admiration for the performance,
and then half of them are like, oh, that's a cute,
fun character that you know. And then of course, like
I want to say doctor Who, but I have not

(05:36):
crushed on every iteration of doctor Who. But no, Christopher
Ecleston definitely, Yeah, yeah, definitely Christopher Eccleston's ninth doctor.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Me clarify a little.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Bit, Yeah, so yeah, what about you? Like, I could
go on and on and on. There are tons of
characters that I'm like, Oh they're attractive or oh they're
fun or oh whatever, what about you?

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Okay, So when I wrote this question, I thought Ariel
might give me one. I did not expect to get
so many.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
I gave you so many because I ran out of
time to superpair it down.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
You also know, you also know, like I joke all
the time about so and so is my girlfriend, So
you know that this hits me real frequently because when
I say so, and so is my girlfriend. What I
really mean is like, there's usually a performance or a
character this person has played that I just found really
captivating and attractive. Although in the case of at least

(06:32):
well really in the case of at least two of
my fictional girlfriends, it's also because they are extremely charismatic
and charming and quirky in press junkets.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
So yes, But I will say in that case, even
though many celebrities do put on a public front that
is not necessarily their private self, Yes, an actress at
a press junket does not count as a fictional character crush.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
I'm not doing that. I'm just saying. I was just
clarifying that there are characters upon whom I had a crush,
and then there are other examples where that crush I
think possibly extends beyond character to the actor portraying that character,
or at least the public facing persona of that actor.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
I mentioned a couple of those myself.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
So so back in the day, this is no longer
true because it would be disturbing. But back in the day,
I would have said Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer,
like I thought Alison Hannigan's performance as Willow, especially in
the first four seasons of Buffy, was just so adorable
and relatable and I just had a big crush on her.

(07:47):
But I mean, we were both much younger than these days.
I would not say that to me. The one I
would go to is probably Lucy MacLean from fall Out.
That's the Okay, that's Ella's character, my one of my
fictional one of my fake girlfriends. Is what her character, Lucy,
the main character in the Fallout series, And the reason

(08:08):
is because she's very Her character is very sweet and compassionate,
and she has a very strong sense of justice. And
she's very capable too. She's not, like, you know, just
a klutz or something. She's actually quite capable. But she's
also naive and a bit impractical. Like the realities of
the world around her don't allow for her very black

(08:31):
and white view of justice. Right Like it's she comes
into conflict with her own moral center and the world
she finds herself in, and that's where a lot of
the drama comes from, like a lot of her character
development comes from. And your hope as a viewer, at
least my hope as a viewer, is it doesn't change
her from who she really is deep down that somehow

(08:53):
she's able to preserve that. But you know, realistically, you'd say, like, well,
you either have to adapt or you get wiped out.
So we'll see. Uh, if she does have to compromise
over and over again, that's gonna get progressively more challenging
for me as a viewer. But it could be really
good drama anyway, Lucy's my my answer.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Nice, Nice, I do have more, and some of them
are more embarrassing, but yeah, like Grog from Voxmakina.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Or you know, Cubert. Anyway, let's move on to you
were not supposed to mention that one. I mean, like,
you know, when he found out, he was just cursing
up a storm. I think, I don't know. It's just
a little word bubble with symbols in it. Uh, let's
talk about what we've watched since last time we recorded,
and it has been two weeks, so Ariel, have you

(09:45):
have you watched anything in those two weeks.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
I'm trying to remember. I have been watching lots of
the Pit, Like I'm fully caught up on the Pit, right.
I don't remember if I mentioned this before, so I'm
sorry if it's a repeat. I did make my husband
watched the first episode of Monarch Legacy and Monsters, and
it wasn't for him, so I need to watch the
rest of it myself. But that's okay. I've started to

(10:13):
re I've finished Fox Makina. We've started rewatching Fallout now
as a group watch, so I just watched episode one
for the second time. I haven't watched episodes three or
four of Night of the Seven Kingdoms because of a
moment that you mentioned. And it's not that I won't
watch the show, it's that I have to be in

(10:35):
a place where I'm okay skipping over that part.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yeah, it's a section that the full length of the event.
It's not like it's focusing exclusively on it, but it
does cut back. Is last like a minute and a
half in episode three, and it's a very upsetting animal
harm sequence, and it's I hate.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
It and I will definitely hate it. And you're supposed to.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Write like, yes, yeah, no, it's it's meant to be upsetting.
It's it's one of those events that tells you how
bad the bad guy is.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
And the bad guy is very, very, very bad, and
obviously there's no animal that was actually injured in the filming, but.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
Sure, yeah, yeah, but it's like does it make it easier. Yeah,
when you get to a point where the special effects
are so convincing. Like I think, ultimately we all know
if we go and see a movie where that like
let's say there's a lot of gore, we all know
that it's you know, movie magic, it's faked. But if
it's really convincing, it can still really impact you. And

(11:41):
that scene had a big impact. I was really upset,
and I was like, I have got to warn Ariel
before she watches this episode.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Is it a very long scene.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
It's like a man and a half. Like it starts
like I think I gave you the time stamps. I
think it starts at like minute twenty nine and within
like thirty minutes and thirty seconds, then it's kind of
moved on, like the the aftermath of that moment, Like
there's narrative aftermath that continues, but the visual aftermath has

(12:14):
kind of ended at that point. And like I said,
it's not like it's staying a minute and a half
on this horrific moment, but it keeps cutting back well
because it's it's people reacting to what has just happened,
and then you know, seeing the continuation of that terra,
I'm dancing around it just in case people out there

(12:37):
haven't watched this show yet and they want to.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
So yeah, there is one other show I've started since
I am about I have like three more episodes left
of season six of New Zealand task Master, and then
I need to start on There was another show I
don't remember. It's an actor who's traveling abroad that one
of our listeners recommended. That's another Australian show that I
want to check out. But in the meantime, I have

(13:05):
started shrinking on Apple TV.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
And you're enjoying that this was the one where you
accidentally watched episode one of season three.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
First Yes, Yes, which made it feel like a big
old sitcom, And there are definitely sitcom moments, but when
you start on season one, episode one, it's a little
bit more dramaedy.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
It is.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
Jason Siegel from Forgetting Sarah Marshall How I Met Your Mother,
the newer Muppet movie, and Harrison Ford playing therapists, and
it is an adult show. It is not for kids.
They deal with a lot of adult topics, but it
is delightful and It is heartwarming and it's moving and
I've cried a few times, and I really enjoy it.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
I remember, first of all, it sounds like it's good
and I need to check it out. That I remember.
I want to say it was. Amazon used to have
this issue where their TV series they would have different
intriges for different seasons. So instead of like instead of
it all being grouped under one and you would just
sequentially move through and when you got to the end
of season one it would automatically go into season two.

(14:12):
You had to actually find the other season and click
into it and everything. It was so clunky, and I
hated it because you could fall into the same trap
you did where yeah, you try and watch something and then.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Well we have Apple TV through Amazon, so that is
exactly what happened. I'm also watching Downton Abbey. I had
watched up to the end of season three and then
I stopped because I knew what happened. And one of
my favorite characters left the show. But and so they
killed him off because he wanted to leave the show.
Which is a good way to write off a character, right.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yeah, you don't have to worry about them coming back.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
Yeah, And it's not one of those like we don't
like him anymore, we want him off the show. He
was like I'm moving on, and like, okay, well, we
gotta deal with your character because he's a main character.
But I watch it on several TVs, so like I'll
watch it while I'm working out downstairs, or I'll watch
it upstairs while I'm putting away laundry or whatever. And

(15:13):
Amazon can't remember even though I'm using the same account
every time where I am, so it'll be like I'm
playing you episode one of season one, I'm playing you
episode four of season six. I've never watched season six
and I've never I'm definitely not in the middle of it.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
What the heck? That is weird? Yeah, I mean because
I definitely were a multi screen household in that I
will often watch things on my computer and if Becca
and I want to watch something together, then we'll put
it up on the TV. And I haven't run into
that particular issue before, but that I can see how

(15:48):
that's frustrating. The only way that would even make sense
to me is if there were two separate accounts, like
one of them was yours and one of them was
your partners.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
I mean, and we do. And because we have cat sitters,
we actually have a third account, which is four guests,
or like, we have house guests a lot. So we're like,
if you're watching our cats, feel free to use our
streaming services. Or if you're visiting our house and you
want to watch your own thing or a show that
we're in the middle of, feel free, here's your own.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
But this way, it's not going to mess up your algorithm.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
And yeah, yeah, but and like so there is the
thing of like, especially when I was when I started
out Mabby and I was rewatching it season one through three.
I had watched and so I understood that it was
getting a little confused.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
Where I was.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
But anyhow, that's enough about me. What have you been watching? Uh?

Speaker 2 (16:32):
So I am all caught up on Night of the
Seven Kingdoms And as harrowing as that one sequence in
episode three was, I really liked episode four a lot. Arguably.
Episode four is where our hero finds himself at his
lowest point, Like it's that point of the story. But
it was handled very well. It didn't it never like

(16:54):
it felt like he was facing overwhelming odds. But I
never felt the bleak despair that I associate with Game
of Thrones, so that's something is nice.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Crazy Brathians still crazy and nice. If you can't say that,
that's fine. Uh, yes he is okay, yeah, I mean
you want to spoil it, It's fine.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
He's fun. Has He only has a small moment in
the fourth episode, but it's a good one. It's it's
it's a nice one. I also watched The Moregan, which
is an Irish horror film that I was really excited
to see because i like Irish folklore and mythology and
I'm familiar with the mythology behind the more Agon, which is, uh,

(17:42):
it's a little complicated. You can't give a definitive answer
as to who is the Morigon because different areas of
Ireland had different legends around this mythical character. She is
often depicted as like a goddess of war, and she's
often depicted as being a trinity of goddesses, but in

(18:03):
this particular one, she is a singular goddess, largely a
goddess of revenge, specifically one that that avenges the misdeeds
done against women by men, so kind of like a
screw the patriarchy kind of kind of thing. And I
was excited to see it, and like, there's this big

(18:24):
exposition dump at the beginning of the movie kind of
trying to run through who the Morgan is in this
particular you know, instance of the Morgon, and it's it's
set in modern day where there's like an archaeologist who's
going to this remote place in Ireland, on an island
off the coast of Ireland, to look for evidence of

(18:45):
an actual person who might have been the inspiration for
the Morgan. Kind of like how some people believe there's
a possibly an actual person who could have been the
inspiration for King Arthur. Kind of like that. I was
looking forward to it, and then it turns out to
be kind of just a slight twist on your standard
demonic possession story horror story, and it really disappointed me

(19:10):
because I had high hopes that this was going to
be rich in Irish folklore and it became much more
of a kind of by the numbers demonic possession horror movie,
and I was let down. I also, I'm caught up.
I've watched all of Fallout season two, so you're in
for a treat. And I mean, as long as you

(19:30):
don't care about the fact that if you were to
ask yourself at the end of the season, what progress
has been made narratively and your answer is not much,
and you're still okay with it?

Speaker 1 (19:44):
Good, Yeah, I'm fine with that. When we were initially
watching it and we got through season three, Tony was
already feeling that, like, this isn't going anywhere.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Yeah, the it's more about world building in characters, and
I still like that. There's been a couple of complaints
I've seen from a lot of fans. One big that
you know, narratively, not much is happening. Like if you
were to say, what's the story that's unfolding, it's hard
to say because not a whole lot advances as far

(20:16):
as that goes. And another is another complaint I've seen
is that there are too many character storylines, which is
partially why the overall narrative doesn't get pushed forward. You
have too many individual characters who are in different situations,
so you keep going back to character character, character, character,

(20:37):
plus backstory for some characters where it's pre war stuff,
and it just you're like, of course, you don't get
any advancement of the story. You have too many threads.
And I get that complaint too. I don't think it's unwarranted.
I'm still enjoying it, even though I see the validity
of those criticisms. And then finally, I also it was

(21:00):
overdue because I did watch the first season when it
came out, but I watched Twisted Metal Season two, which
is really more about the actual Twisted Metal tournament, and
it has a lot of the same problems as Fallout
in that narratively, not much happens. It's mostly an excuse
to have like set pieces and character moments. I still

(21:23):
enjoyed it for what it was, and it's hard for
me to be critical of something that's about such a
dumb series of video games. So I'll just say that,
like at the end of it, I wasn't really satisfied,
but I was more entertained than not. Even though they
did also swap out nev Campbell, who was in the

(21:45):
first season, she was not in the second season. Instead
they got Oh I can't remember the actress's name, but
she was Madison with two wins and a y. But
it's not where you think nice.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
I'm glad she's getting more work. That's interesting. I've been
wanting to watch Twisted Metal. I currently have Peacock. You know,
that's not one of the ones that I always keep,
but I currently have it because we did watch the
Giant Football Extravaganza.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Yeah, the very large game, the.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
Very large game that was not so great this year,
and I'm really mad that the Kicker did not get
MVP because they scored the majority of the game.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
Yes, no, when I when I was reading up because
I didn't watch it. But when I was reading up,
I talked about how this kicker made all five attempts
successfully and was like, for the longest time, the only
person to score in the game did not win MVP.
I'm like, well, this is rigged.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
Yeah, apparently they let you go in and vote and
you can vote multiple times, so I voted as much
as I thought was reasonable for this poor kicker.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
Yeah, and yeah I was. I was sad.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
Like everybody stayed at around after the game was over.
Not every we had a couple of people over, but
they stayed over to see who would be the MVP,
as we're all hoping the Kicker and it didn't happen.
The commercials were okay. There were a couple of really
good ones and then a bunch of the thing that
annoys me where like they're like, hey, the trailer for
this movie is out, but go to YouTube to watch it.

(23:14):
So we're going to talk about some of those later
in the episode.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yeah, not as many as we had planned, Yeah, because
we did have like the Mandalorian and grogu in there
at one point. But I was like, I'm pretty sure
everyone has heard about this already, because it got some
backlash because people were confused by it, and I'm like,
it's clearly I thought it was. Yeah, it's clearly spoofing Budweiser,

(23:39):
Like it's that's obviously what it is, and that this
is not not what the actual movie is going to
look like. But you know, again, I can kind of
get it because Star Wars doesn't traditionally do that kind
of thing, Like you'll get the goofy stuff for like
all the merchandise high ends, but you don't get the
goofy stuff for the actual, you know, promotional material for
the film itself. So I can kind of see why

(24:01):
people would get a little bent out of shape about it.
But I saw it and I was like, well, this
is clearly just for you know, brand recognition, you know,
putting it in people's minds that this movie is coming out.
This is obviously not an actual sequence from the movie.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah, I thought it was clever that they were spoofing
on the commercial. I did like the I think it
was Budweiser's commercial this year. I actually really liked that.
It was heartwarming. I know this is not a sports podcast,
but I do want to mention that there were two
commercials that both used music from Mister Rogers Neighborhood, and

(24:39):
while neither was a bad commercial, I loved the use
in one and I hated the use in the other
because interesting. There was one for the Boys and Girls
Club of America, and that was fine and it was good,
but it came after the first one, which was Redfinn,
and the message of the commercial was helping out your
neighbors right in times of need, like if you're missing

(25:00):
an animal or missing a puppy, your puppy gets lost,
or a tree falls in front of your house because
of a storm, and like it was just everybody helping
each other and that was wonderful. But they took won't
You be My Neighbor and they put it into this
really mellow, sad, slow key, and they made it depressing
and I was like, I cannot abide this.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
So it's kind of like kind of like the go
to horror movie thing where let's take a song that's
associated with like upbeat, happy, optimistic stuff and slow it
way down and make it creepy.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
Yeah yeah, yeah, great, so for make it sad And
I'm like, well, you can't do that with that song.
But but yeah, I just I'm sorry we were talking
about it.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
I had to Oh, no, I think that was that
was relevant. Well that's that was all I had to
say about the stuff I've watched. I'm sure there's other
things that I've watched, but nothing's coming to mind. And
those were the specific genre stuff that when I mostly
wanted to complain about the Morgan because I had such
high hopes it was fine for what it was. Don't
get me wrong. It's not like it's a bad movie

(26:02):
I was. It just fell so far short of what
I was hoping for. I get it.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
There is a solution to this, Jonathan, because you love
Irish folklore so much, make the movie you want to see.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
I have to wait and see if that Adam Scott
film is going to be the movie I want to see. Fair, Fair,
because that looks that also looks weird and steeped in
Irish folklore, so I am looking forward to seeing that.
When it's out all right, well, then let us sachet
down to the thirty seconds or less room. It's right here,

(26:37):
so we don't actually have to go anywhere, and I
will begin so here Oi Ago Josh Tomorrow, the head
of Disney Experiences, an overseer of all things theme parks,
has scored a fast pass to becoming the new company CEO.
Outgoing head boss Bob Eiger named Tomorrow his successor. The
board unanimously approved that decision, and Dana Walden, who was

(27:02):
co chairman of Disney Entertainment, will hold a new position
of President and Chief Creative Officer.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
From Disney to Netflix, we are getting a professional pro
shot of Stranger Things the First Shadow, which is the
Stranger Things musical that premiered in the West End and
they came over to Broadway. They're filming it, I think
this weekend, so they've canceled this weekend of shows, but
it will eventually be coming to Netflix.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Cool friend of the show, shay Lee will be excited
to learn about a musical adaptation of Practical Magic. It's
currently in development. Alice Hoffman, who wrote the book, is
working with Nora Jones, Greg Wattenberg, and director Maria Friedman.
No telling when it will be ready for previews, but
you can satisfy your practical magic needs this coming September
when a sequel to the film adaptation comes.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
Out inconceivable, No, it's not, but are either is apparently
an adaptation of The Princess Bride for Broadway. Apparently I
finally got there. There was a workshop for this musical
adaptation recently, with Alex Brightman playing Billy who is the

(28:14):
grandson slash narrator, and a bunch of other wonderful people.
I think this would make a great musical and if
Alex Brightman is involved, I definitely want to see it.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
Yeah. Severance has been a big hit for Apple, and
now Apple owns it so Previously, Severance was produced by
a third party company called Fifth Season that Apple has
officially taken over after spending nearly seventy million dollars on
acquiring the property. The plan is for the series to
go at least four seasons, with possible spinoffs in the future.
So let's get the Department of Choreography and merriment in here.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
Fast and Furious has another movie. Did you know the
last one came out in twenty twenty three. It feels
like it was just yesterday. Anyhow, The new movie will
be called Fast for Ever. I guess Vin Diesel is
hoping to eventually become bionics so he can continue to
be Fast Forever. It will come out in theaters on

(29:09):
March seventeenth, twenty twenty eight.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
Because family Never Dies, areel you to just turn into
cgi A twenty four has acquired the rights to the
Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise and plans a series with The
Long Walks writer JT. Moulner directing and Glenn Powell as
an executive producer, though not appearing into the series. So
this franchise began in nineteen seventy four with an ultra

(29:33):
low budget film that influenced countless filmmakers, particularly in the
slasher subgenre. Molmer has already said the series will not
be a remake of the original film.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
I'm hoping another thing that will not be a remake
of the original film is the new Mummy movie coming
out with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Wwice. Yes, Yes, anyhow,
we've known about it. We knew that it was happening
for a bit, but now we have a release state,
which will be May nineteenth, twenty twenty eight. I want

(30:08):
them to take their time because I want it to
be as fun as I remember the Mummy movies being,
but also it feels so far away.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
An Irish filmmaker whose first name I can't pronounce, but
whose last name is Robinson posted a fifteen second AI
generated video showing Tom Cruise in hand to hand combat
with Brad Pitt. And he made it with c Dance
two point zero, which is a product from Chinese company
Byte Dance that's the former owners of TikTok. This has
prompted the MPa to condemn Byte Dance for IP infringement

(30:40):
because the tool has to train on existing works in
order to create this stuff, and screenwriter Rhet Reese has
proclaimed with great cheerfulness, it's likely over for us.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
Wow, well it's not over for the teenage mutant Ninja Turtles.
I was a teen. Because I'm reading the article as
I talk. Paramount is doing all of the turtle things.
So they're releasing a animated series that is going to
be four minutes long. Each episode like Spidey and His
Amazing Friends, which I didn't know was a four minute episode,

(31:14):
so short form video. They're coming out with two different books,
one that is adult themed and one that is kid themed, merchandise,
all kinds of fun stuff. I don't hate it.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Yeah, I'm all for good tmn T stuff as long
as it's good. I mean, that series has been around
for ages and has had multiple incarnations, the original being
more of a gritty spoof of comic book tropes, specifically
stuff like Daredevil, and then others being obviously much more

(31:50):
lighthearted and geared toward kids, and I'm cool with all
of it as long as it's done. Well.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
Yeah, well, nothing will ever beat the nineties movies.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
But well it's only because you're such a huge fan
of Vanilla Ice Baby. Yes, Go Ninja Go Ninja Go, Jacob.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
That is a fantastic song. Sorry, I just got so loud.
There Go Ninja, Go Ninja Go is fantastic.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
Are you also a big fan of mc Hammer's Adams
Family song from from the end of the Adams Family Movie.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
I don't know if I remember that one.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
They do what they want to do, say what they
want to say, Live how they want to live, play
how they want to play.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
Yeah, obviously I'm not because it is I think I
saw the Adams Family movie. It's not that one did
not stick with me. Wow.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
Okay, Well, first of all, it might have actually been
used for the sequel. I don't know if it was
in the original film or not, but it was. Yeah.
I think it's the original film because I know they
have cousin it speak in it, and I don't think
because it really shows up in the second movie very much.
All right, let's talk about non genre stuff that we
forgot to take out of the lineup.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
Yeah. The first one is almost fitty. It's called American Classic.
It's a TV series that's coming out about an actor
who goes back to his hometown where it all started
and has to save the town with a production of
Our Town. Can I say Town more times?

Speaker 2 (33:22):
At stars Kevin Klein as the lead character. He's kind
of a washed up actors who's got a very fragile ego,
and he finds out his mother has passed away, which
is what prompts him to go back to his hometown,
and there he finds out that the town's theater, which
is where he got his start, and he has a
huge amount of nostalgia for it is going to be

(33:45):
essentially demolished in order to make a casino, and so
it's kind of his let's put on a show and
save the town theater. So it's very that's like a
classic trump like that makes me think of the eighties, right,
like we gotta save the rec Center the that's the
plot of of a break in two Electric Boogaloo. But

(34:10):
our town really, yeah, not the best choice in my opinion.
Laura Lenny is also in this. She plays I think
she's Kevin Klein's sister in law and she's also the
mayor of the town.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
And she's also his ex.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
Yes, she used to date him. Now she's his sister
in law and she has a very low opinion of him.
She thinks that he kind of ditched the town and
the only reason he came back was for himself and
not for anyone else. Yeah, there's a lot of drama
going on, but it's actually a comedy, Like if you
watch this trailer, it is it's got lots of silly

(34:45):
moments in it. And it comes out on March first.
The first two episodes drop on March first is on
MGM Plus, which is not one that I subscribe to,
so I'll probably have to just hear about this.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
Yeah, I never watched Once upon a Time in Hollywood,
so this next trailer has absolutely no meaning to me.
It was confusing during the big game what happened? And
also like the entire I'm gonna let you I will
let you talk about it in a second. The entire
trailer seemed like one giant look how racy we are.

(35:24):
We can't even show you?

Speaker 2 (35:26):
That was it? Well, I mean it's written by Tarantino.
It's gonna be that way where you like, how do
you how do you advertise a Tarantino written screenplay on
broadcast television. Well, you can either cut around all the
stuff that you can't show, or you get real cheeky
with it and you use very over the top censorship

(35:49):
too to be able to display things. David Fincher actually
directed this, so it's a Tarantino written but not directed film.
And Cliff Boo is a character from Once upon a
Time in Hollywood. He was a stuntman and in the
film he was Leonardo DiCaprio's kind of like friend and
driver slash bodyguard type type person. In the movie, it's

(36:17):
indicated that he may have been responsible for his wife's
death and on a boat and then like disposed of
her body, but it's never actually answered in the movie
whether or not he's guilty of that. You never know,
you never find out. And he's he's really laid back
and extremely confident, confident enough to take on Bruce Lee

(36:38):
and win because that does happen in Once Upon a
Time in Hollywood. It definitely looks like it's got a
lot of attitude and a lot of humor. It's a
it's a action comedy, drama SERI or film. Rather. There's
no date for when it's coming out yet, but it
will be coming to Netflix.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
It is interesting that Tarantino is going straight to Netflix,
and two that they played the trailer at one of
the most expensive times to play the trailer and not
have a release date.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know what the strategy is. I
don't get paid enough to figure that stuff out.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
I was.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is not is by
a long stretch, not my favorite Tarantino movie. I appreciated
what it was doing, but it's not one that I
feel like revisiting very much. It feels a little too
up its own butt. Yeah, we like sure, you know,

(37:44):
it's one of those movies that Hollywood loves because it's
a movie about movies, and the industry gets very self
congratulatory at times and self like like aggrandizing, and I
feel like Once upon a Time in Hollywood does that
a bit. However, this trailer actually looked more entertaining to

(38:05):
me than Once Upon a Time in Hollywood did not
that I think. I don't think it was a bad movie.
By the way, I just if you give me like
a list of Tarantino films, it probably would be pretty
close to the bottom for me. I think that the
filmmaking was incredible, but as a movie I actually prefer

(38:26):
other Tarantino films.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
Makes sense.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
We also have a trailer for a beloved series returning
from cold storage.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
Yeah, that makes it sound like they're in the morgue.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
Well that is part of a hospital.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
It's true. We've got the trailer for the Scrubs continuation.
It's not a reboot, but it kind of also works
like a reboot because they've got a whole new cast
of characters, including the old characters. It's interesting. It does
feel like They're gonna put a lot of heart into

(39:04):
it and a lot of cheeky humor.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
Yeah, it feels like it's very much in keeping with
the original series kind of tone.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
Yeah. Yeah. It is also interesting the timing for it
because the pit is out, which is also trying to
add a lot of heart but also a lot of
realness to what happens in an er. So I wonder
how it will do. I liked the original series of Scrubs.
I thought it was fun and funny, and I'm glad
they got so much of the cast back and some

(39:34):
of the new actors for the new round of interns
look fantastic.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
Yeah, and I know that they're still working on trying
to get more of the original cast to potentially be
in future episodes. Like, you know, one of the big
open ended questions was where's the janitor because he was
such a huge part in the original Scrub series, And
the last I saw was that they were like, they're

(39:59):
very much interested in having him come back, but you know,
it was one of those things where they have to
figure out how to, you know, how to make that
work both narratively and with people's schedules and demands and stuff.

Speaker 1 (40:13):
That actor was on I think season one, either episode
seven or eight of Shrinking.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
Oh well, now we can walk into this this dark
cave that I found right over here with all the
bats and the spiders. Lots Man, there's even more spiders
than there were in that hutch the last time we
opened it.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
You just want to finish this episode by yourself, don't you.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
I mean, there's there's one spider wearing a fedora and
talking like Nicholas Cage. But I told him he's not
allowed to talk yet because that's later. Okay, But but
the rest of them are all tell me it's time
for John Boy's Horror Hutch. Now, Ariel, you had told
me that you had watched at least some of some
of these trailers.

Speaker 1 (41:03):
Yes, I watched the first one, The Hermit The Hermit.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
So uh yeah. Lou Forreigno, the who I always will
think of as the Incredible Hulk from the nineteen seventies.
Lou Forregno plays a reclusive hermit pig farmer and he's
living out in the middle of nowhere when a couple
of young adults, like really kids, if you think about it,

(41:30):
show up because they're on like a camping trip, but
they get separated from the girl's father, and so this
girl and her boyfriend run into lou Forregno's character, who
is a psychotic. He hears his mother's voice in his
head and she's like telling him to kill them and
chop them up and serve them as jerky. So it's

(41:52):
definitely hitting Ariel's ick factor of cannibalism. And I apologize
that I did not put that in a warning in
a lineup. I mean, it's not done in a way
where it's particularly gratuitous in the trailer. At least, it
makes me think of movies like Texas, Chainsaw, Massacre, Friday
the Thirteenth, and Psycho, like all of those have elements

(42:14):
of like a domineering family figure that's controlling a big
killing machine. Essentially. It was screened at some film festivals
last year apparently. I think it was made back in
twenty twenty four, so it's you know, it's been ready
for a couple of years now. Also, the format's a

(42:35):
little weird because it's one where it's it's kind of
a story within a story where there's the final girl
is being interviewed about her experiences on a talk show
and so it's cutting back and forth between her and
what happened. But like my first reaction was, doesn't that
remove all tension? Like, if you know she's fine enough

(42:57):
to have an interview, doesn't that kind of you're not
scared about her not making it because you know she
does because she's on this talk show. But apparently there's
some unreliable narrator elements at play too, so maybe that
mixes things up. This comes out on demand on March third.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
There are several shows where I'm like, I know this
person comes out okay, but I'm still so scared in
the moment.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
So yeah, well, and it's also it's something that's been
done recently, like the first Terrifier movie did something very
similar to this. Next up, we have Crazy Old Lady.
This is one where I think you watched part of
it and then you nope doubt.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
Yep. I don't remember what made me nope doubt, but
I was like, oh, maybe it was the.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
Chainsaw or the red hot poker.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
No, I made it pass the Red Hot poker, So.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
Crazy Old Lady it was the sALS All. It's a
Spanish horror movie, psychological horror movie. It follows a character
named Pedro who is contacted by his ex girlfriend to
check in on his ex girlfriend's mother who has dementia,
and he gets whacked upside the head and chained up

(44:08):
onto a chair by said mother who has a weird
sense of hospitality, and it looks like there's a lot
of torture involved that kind of thing. It's in Spanish,
so the trailer has got subtitles for those of us
who are not schooled in Spanish. Comes out on Shutter

(44:31):
on February twenty seventh. Looks pretty low budget. It's not
really my thing, but I thought I would mention it
just because I do think it's interesting that we're getting
more access to horror movies made in other countries, and
sometimes that ends up being like really revolutionary, like they're

(44:52):
coming up with like ideas and new takes on horror
that are really interesting. This one didn't really scratch itch
for me, but then again, it is just a trailer,
so maybe the full film would make me feel different.
And then lastly, we have one that you noped out
of immediately, which was the trailer for our teaser for

(45:12):
Faces of Death.

Speaker 1 (45:14):
I clicked on the link and then I read the
synopsis underneath it and went, I'm not going to watch this. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
So listeners out there of a certain age will remember
a movie that came out in nineteen seventy eight called
Faces of Death. It was done as if it were
a documentary, but it was actually, you know, a fictional thing,
and it was supposed to be presenting footage of actual
acts of violence and you know, acts of murder as

(45:44):
well as accidental deaths, that kind of thing, Like it's
supposed to be really gratuitous and exploitative. Most of the
stuff that was in that documentary was just created for
the movie, like it was. It was, it was manufactured.
It wasn't actual footage, but they did supplement it with
archival footage of other stuff, including things like animals being slaughtered, so,

(46:08):
you know, really not cool. But it did get a
cult following. It spawned a whole series of videos that
got They kind of entered into that realm of legend
for school yards in the eighties because I remember kids
talking about it. It was one of those things that
you know, someone got hold of a VHS tape and oh,

(46:29):
someone really dies in this thing or whatever, and I'm like,
I don't know why you would want to watch that
if that is true. First, I doubt it's truthfulness. Secondly,
whether it's true or not, why do you want to
watch it? But this upcoming movie is about a woman
who works at a like a video online video platform,

(46:49):
and she's a moderator, so it's her job to look
at things that have been flagged and review them to
see whether or not they violate terms of service. And
she comes across that are uploaded by this group that
appear to be a trying to replicate the scenes from
the original nineteen seventy eight Faces of Death, And then
she's trying to determine whether or not the things she's

(47:11):
seeing are real or staged. This comes out April tenth.
Still not my thing, not really, not my kind of
realm of horror, So I don't plan on seeing this.
These kind of things just are so mean spirited that
I just don't find any entertainment in them.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
Like, I think it is an interesting edition that they've
added to it. Yeah, but yeah, one I don't. We
talked about it way way back. If you're an old
listener during the Walking Dead days, like there's it's hard
to delight in torturing somebody, Like yeah, in misery. Yeah,

(47:52):
and then also as an actor and a LARPer who
does non union gigs, like it is a scary thought
that you might sign on for something that ends up
to not be that people don't have a separation between

(48:13):
real life and real life and fantasy, and it's just
it can be scary.

Speaker 2 (48:19):
Yeah. I don't judge people who do really enjoy these
sort of things. I know there are people who just
find like, find it really entertaining. And whether that's because
they just delight in the gruesomeness on screen, or they're
looking at it from a filmmaking perspective or whatever it
may be, I think all of that is valid. So
I don't want to I never want to suggest that

(48:42):
this approach is good or bad, just that it's not
for me. And you know that's okay. There's plenty of
stuff that is for me, so I don't need everything
to be that way.

Speaker 1 (48:54):
Yeah, speaking of the first thing in our actual what
belonged in our show notes is something that is for
me that maybe some people might think is not for
me because it could have also gone into your like
the annex of your horror Hutch.

Speaker 2 (49:11):
Oh yeah, yeah, this, I would have put this in
horror Hutch, had you not already added it to our
show lineup? And that is.

Speaker 1 (49:19):
A trailer for I didn't know if we're going to
try to say it at the same time.

Speaker 2 (49:23):
Exit eight, Yeah, which I knew as a video game.
Ariel was not aware that this was an adaptation of
a video game into a film, which to me, that's
fantastic because it means that you know it caught your
attention without you already having any connection to the source material,
and that tells me it's a well done trailer.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
Yeah, yeah, WHOA. The concept is that there's this guy
who's stuck in the tunnels of the subway, like the
walkable tunnels of the subway, not like the train tracks,
and he's trying to find his way out, but he
can't because it's haunted or something.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
He keeps looping around to the same hallway over and
over like it's the way the way the game works
is that you turn a corner and then you're looking
down a hallway and as you walk down the hallway,
you reach a staircase and you climb the staircase, and
then you come to a corner and when you turn
the corner, you're looking at the same hallway you were

(50:26):
just in, like complete to the tiniest details. And the
way the game works and same with the movie. The
trailer makes us clear is you're looking for anomalies, things
that are not supposed to be there because one of
there's a poster on the wall and it has a
big number on it starts off with the number zero,

(50:47):
and if you don't see any anomalies, if there are
no anomalies present, you just keep walking, and as you walk,
you'll see that that poster now has the number one
on it, saying that you've advanced. If you see something
that should be there, an anomaly, you turn around and
go back the way you came. And then you'll see
that the poster number has gone up. So if it

(51:07):
was one, but you saw anomaly, you turn around, you
go back. Now it says two, so you've still advanced,
even though you had to go back the way you came.
If you miss an anomaly, or you turn back when
there isn't an anomaly but you thought there were, it
resets you to zero and you start all over again.
So that's the way the game works, and this movie

(51:28):
looks like it's pretty faithful to that general like gameplay.

Speaker 1 (51:33):
I'm guessing some of the anomalies must be really hard
to spot, because otherwise that sounds like a pretty quick game.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
Yeah, some of the anomalies are insanely obvious, like you know,
like like if you walk in you start seeing like
a flood of blood slowly creeping towards you. You're like, yeah,
this should not be here, and you can turn around
and go I turn around anyhow. But sometimes it might
be something like there's one extra door in the hall,
and if you had not really paid attention, you might

(52:00):
not notice. Sometimes it's like writing that might be on
a poster or on a sign. Sometimes it's like you
might not notice that one of the doors is slightly
a jar this time instead of all being closed. That
kind of stuff. So the game, there's lots of people
who have done I've never played this game, by the way,
I've only watched playthrows. But my favorite, if you ever

(52:23):
want to watch someone who's very entertaining to watch, and
she does great like great anomaly based games in particular.
She goes by gab Smolders and gab Smolders is She's
Dutch but lives in England. She's if you've ever heard
the name Jack Septic. I she's his partner, and she's great.

(52:47):
She's fantastic. If you've not watched her stuff, her playthrough
of Exit eight is delightful. But she like she loves
anomaly spotting games and this is a pretty good one.
And like I said, the trailer looks good, Yeah it doesn't.

Speaker 1 (53:02):
I mean, there's a little bit scary, there's a tiny
bit of jump scare, there's a little bit of like blood,
but it looks more suspenseful than anything with like a
hint of zombie land. When you come across those posters,
it pops up the text like you wouldn't like always
double tap.

Speaker 2 (53:21):
Yeah, yeah, it's got and it has elements of mystery
to it too, right, because you're like, how did you
get here? How do you get out? What's keeping you here?
All that kind of stuff.

Speaker 1 (53:30):
Yeah, Honestly, the thing that appealed to me it is subtitled.
It is a subtitled movie, I believe, yes. And the
thing that appealed to me is I'm currently playing a
tabletop game called Triangle Agency, in which it's like a
very laundry files fringy sort of thing where I play
an employee of this organization that is trying to catch

(53:55):
anomalies that do weird things in the world and hurt people.
But there's more subterfuged to it than that, and just
the weirdness and the bizarreness of like, this isn't quite right,
this must be an anomaly. Really hit that. I'm loving
the game that mixed with now that I know it's
a video game, my love of Eternal Darkness and how

(54:16):
it messes with you as a player, Like, I'm all
in for this and I might have to play the
game myself.

Speaker 2 (54:22):
So cool. And this movie comes out April tenth, so
coming up in a couple months. Next up, we have
something I was alluding to at the beginning of the
John Boys horror Hutch. We got a trailer for Spider Noir,
the live action series that is tied to the across

(54:44):
the Spider Verse movies in which the Spider Noir version
of Spider Man is having adventures in his own time
and place, and just like just like in the animated series.
It's played by Nicholas Cage, and I love the fact
that both they've done this, both for the trailer and

(55:06):
for the series itself. You can watch it either in
full color or in black and white, because are.

Speaker 1 (55:12):
They and like the styling is very noir, And at
first I was like, Nicholas Cage, I don't know if
I would like cast him as this kind of a character.
But then thinking back on like a lot of the
old timey radio noir mystery gumshoe kind of stories, a
lot of those gum shoes are a little older than

(55:33):
they ought to be to be going on the adventures
they're going on, and when you add Spider powers into that,
it's maybe a little bit more Okay.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
Yeah, I do like that they have a play on
the old Spider Man saying, because I said, with no
power comes no responsibility.

Speaker 1 (55:48):
Yeah. Yeah. And he did a great job in the
cartoons as Spider nor Spider Noir, nor Spider whatever Spider. Yeah,
so he'll do great. There are a couple of moments
in the trailer where his face looks.

Speaker 2 (56:02):
Real weird to me, Yeah, a little a little plastic y, yeah.

Speaker 1 (56:07):
And then other times where he looks straight up like
Nichlo's Cage looks right now.

Speaker 2 (56:11):
Yeah. I don't know if they used any like digital
d aging or anything on him.

Speaker 1 (56:16):
Yeah, I don't know. I would will I will say
I would watch this alone for Lamour and Morris who
is also in it, who played one of my favorite characters,
a new Girl. I know he's not playing the same character,
and he is an actor, but like he's just he's charismatic.
In the trailer for Spider Nor as well, he's just
such a charismatic actor that I just I love the

(56:37):
roles that he steps into.

Speaker 2 (56:38):
Yeah, this looks like it's gonna be a lot of fun.
It's on Amazon Prime starting May twenty seventh. So this
is not one of the Disney ones because it's from
the Sony side, but yeah, Amazon Prime will have it
starting May twenty seventh. I wrote, looks fun as heck
for sure.

Speaker 1 (56:55):
Come on, Sony, you can do it.

Speaker 2 (56:58):
Yeah, you can do it. Yeah. Well, you know, like
there across the Spider Verse stuff has been spectacularly good.

Speaker 1 (57:06):
Yeah, but their live action stuff recently has been less then.

Speaker 2 (57:11):
Yeah, I'm just hopeful that we don't get any Morbius
or Craven or Madam Webb's stink on this.

Speaker 1 (57:20):
Yeah, for sure, but I'm also very excited for it.
It does look fun. I'm a big Noir fan, you know,
I'm playing a noir actual play right now, so lots
of fun. We also got a official trailer for One
Piece season two.

Speaker 2 (57:36):
Yep, very epic and colorful trailer. Lots of adventurous moments,
lots of fun little character moments there. I don't know
what the heck is going.

Speaker 1 (57:48):
On me neither. I have not read the manga, I
haven't watched the anime cartoon, and I've only watched one
episode of season one.

Speaker 2 (58:02):
You're further ahead than me.

Speaker 1 (58:04):
Yeah, the first episode of season one was a little
bit kiddy, which I know this is. It's just bizarre, right,
It's just a bizarre, bizarre story. But I hear it
gets really good and I just need to stick it
out a couple more episodes that might be next after
Dowbn Mabbie.

Speaker 2 (58:20):
It definitely looks like it's very fanciful, and anyone who's
a fan of it, I hope that the live action
version is living up to your expectations, because I have
nothing to compare it against. I have no context here.
Like when I watched this, I thought this looks like
a mad cap, fun, adventurous series. I don't understand what's

(58:42):
happening or what anyone's trying to do, but the imaginative
character designs the color palette, Like, it's so nice to
see a show that's colorful and it's not just browns
and grays, you know. Yeah, yeah, for sure, So that
really appealed to me. Starts on March tenth on Netflix.

(59:04):
And maybe I should take a moment and try and
watch some of this and see if I can get
into it, because I thought the trailer was really fun,
even though I didn't know what the heck was happening.

Speaker 1 (59:18):
Yeah. Yeah, maybe we can race each other through watching
it and then talk about it, because I'm sure that's
what everybody wants to hear about. Is season one of
One Piece that came out a couple of years ago?

Speaker 2 (59:31):
Yeah, well, I mean I just finished Twisted Middle season two,
and that thing's been out for months. So has it
really Oh yeah yeah, oh it came out last year.
I'm pretty sure.

Speaker 1 (59:41):
Are you going to try The Burbs that just came out?

Speaker 2 (59:44):
I want to. Yeah, that's on my list. I just
I haven't tried to watch it yet. I also need
to fit. We're almost done with Superstore. We're in the
last season of Superstore.

Speaker 1 (59:53):
Now, so that's a huge achievement.

Speaker 2 (59:56):
Yeah, that's six seasons, so we're almost done with season six.
I think we're about halfway through season six and then
we'll be we'll have watched all of that. But that's
also easy to watch. It's a half hour show, so
you can like watch like two or three in a
row after work, just kind of decompressing. And as long
as as long as it's not a particularly cringey episode,

(01:00:18):
you're okay.

Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
Yeah, yeah, for sure. Do you do you find it
cringey when they take a live action show that they've
finished and make a cartoon out of it?

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
Depends? I mean, are we talking like, you know, back
to the future? Are we talking I don't know, Stranger Things?
I mean either or really both are cringey?

Speaker 1 (01:00:38):
Okay? If we got a full trailer for tales from
eighty five Stranger Things.

Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
Yeah, this is the animated series on Netflix. It's taking
place between seasons two and three of Stranger Things. So
I can't watch it because I only ever watched season one.
I'm still don't know what the heck was going on.
I hear that season two is not most people's favorite.

Speaker 1 (01:01:03):
No, but season three was pretty good.

Speaker 2 (01:01:05):
So but this is before season three.

Speaker 1 (01:01:08):
It's between so it's some liminal space. Uh yeah, I
mean the cartoon. I love the animation style and it
looks fun enough, but I think if it had come
out before the finale of the series, I would be
more excited about it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:26):
Yeah, I feel like a lot of people felt that
the ending of Stranger Things was kind of a letdown,
and I'm sure Netflix is going to have some challenge
getting regaining the momentum.

Speaker 1 (01:01:38):
I like, I was fine with the ending, but it
was an ending, like it was an actual ending, and
so I'm as much as I enjoyed the journey, I'm
done with the story now. I don't mind spinoffs, but
it's kind of like the same issue I'm having with
Star Wars, right, And I'm saying this not having watched
the cartoon. The cartoon might be fabulous, it looks like
they do some fun things. Is cute, but it's like

(01:02:02):
you keep going back to moments before and I already
know how this story ends.

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
So yeah, I feel kind of similarly about the IT stuff. Honestly, like,
do we really need another prequel series that's set, you know,
thirty years before the Welcome to Dairy Girls series?

Speaker 1 (01:02:23):
We are we getting that?

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:02:26):
I didn't know we were getting another another prequel series.

Speaker 2 (01:02:29):
The idea is that they're doing well. I don't know
if it's actually been greenlit, but the idea was that
you had the films which were set in like the
twenty twenties and then the nineteen eighties for the past,
right for the kids. Then you had the Welcome to
Dairy series, which is set in the early nineteen sixties

(01:02:53):
in Ireland with the Dairy girls, and then the next
one will be like late nineteen twenties, early nineteen thirty ease,
and then presumably they'd go even further back to turn
of the century.

Speaker 1 (01:03:05):
If it is not, I mean that feels like it
could all be seasons of the same series. It doesn't
even need to be.

Speaker 2 (01:03:12):
A new ste I think I think it really would
be another season probably, but maybe not. I mean because
because at some point you're going to get to before
the town of Dairy was founded. Yeah, it'll be in
the it'll be in the geographic region, but it's not Dairy.

Speaker 1 (01:03:27):
But it's always the same story, right, Like some of
the details might be different, but it's always the same story.
And you could just make one movie about that called
groundhog Day. Yeah, it's rounded day.

Speaker 2 (01:03:40):
They tried to introduce something, so I famously dropped off
of the Dairy Girls Getting It Done against penny Wise series.
I dropped off because something happened that I was just like,
I'm done. This is just too dumb for me. I
can't buy to it is too it feels too much

(01:04:01):
like American horror story. Like it just it's trying very
hard to do something that I don't I don't find impressive.
But one of the revelations that happened after I stopped watching,
but I read up on it, is that penny Wise
reveals that it experiences time differently than humans, like it

(01:04:24):
has a much it doesn't have a linear experience of time.
So I guess they're arguing that you can keep going
back and things can happen that would presumably change everything.
Except I'm like, well, we do experience time linearly and
we know how it ends. So while that might not
be the end for Pennywise, because it's experiencing time in

(01:04:45):
a different way, perhaps even backward from us, the point is,
after twenty twenty, it's gone.

Speaker 1 (01:04:51):
Yeah, I mean, but it's still it's it's the same,
you know, same storyline.

Speaker 2 (01:04:57):
Yeah, I don't know. I they already lost me in
the last series, so I'm not too We got way
off track here, but I'm not too not too fussed
about it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:10):
But does does Bill scars Guard play penny Wise in
the series?

Speaker 2 (01:05:13):
Yeah? He does. He was originally going to. Apparently they
had a different There is another character who plays a
penny Wise like, not an entity, but a person who's,
you know, dressing up as a clown. And I think
the original plan was that she was going to be
the stand in for penny Wise, but then Bill scars

(01:05:35):
Guard's schedule opened up and he was actually able to
come in and shoot anyway, and so they reconfigured it
so that penny Wise does show up in that series
and it is played by Bill scars Guard.

Speaker 1 (01:05:48):
Interesting, So I did I like since we were off
last last week, two weeks the last time we were
off before last week when I went on vacation, I
did want to write Dairy Girls Welcome to Dairy Girls
mashup in which Pennywise comes out of the Irish sewers

(01:06:09):
and tries to attack these girls. But they've had to
deal with so much atrocity with all the political stuff
going on in Ireland, because I don't know if you
know that, like it's Dairy Girls, is being a teenager
in the middle of a bunch of really bad Irish
politics happening. I mean, it's a funny show because it
focuses on these teenage girls, but it's just it's during

(01:06:30):
a time of upheaval in Ireland and instead these girls
are so like mean girl that they make penny Wise
feel insecure about himself and he undergoes like a never
been kissed kind of transformation into a pretty girl. Yes,

(01:06:55):
and I was going to write this entire mash up
about it, but I ran out of time.

Speaker 2 (01:07:00):
Mm. Well that fun story, Okay, moving on Monster. Well,
next up, we have a trailer for a science fiction
film called In the Blink of an Eye. It was
directed by Andrew Stanton. If that name sounds familiar, you
might be a big Pixar fan because he was involved
with things like Wally and finding Nemo, that kind of stuff.

(01:07:23):
And the log line for this is a fairly bare
bones one, which says the movie depicts three interconnected stories
exploring the history of the world. That's the log line.

Speaker 1 (01:07:37):
I mean, now that you've said that he's done Wally,
I can totally see it this trailer. Yeah, the three
storylines are like, there's like a I don't know the right,
like a prehistoric Neanderthal neanderthal, and then a modern day
story about a woman who's an archaeologist and historian. And

(01:07:58):
then a future story where Kate Kennon is going to
a Kepler planet, to Kepler twenty three, I think, to
try to colonize because Earth is dying. I'm interested in
two of those storylines.

Speaker 2 (01:08:09):
Yeah, it seems like this was an ambitious project. I
will say it's gonna it's slated for a release on
February twenty seventh. I will say that I went ahead
and looked at Rotten Tomatoes because like it's been screened
a couple of times. Now, granted it's early screening, but
the Rotten Tomatoes score is currently at sixteen percent.

Speaker 1 (01:08:33):
That's sad.

Speaker 2 (01:08:34):
Yeah, which, again, to remind everybody, a low percentage doesn't
mean that a movie is atrocious. It means that more
critics gave it a negative score than a positive score. Right,
So let's say that you have determined that anything below
two point five is a negative score, anything above two

(01:08:55):
point five is a positive score, saying, assuming a score
of one to five. Let's say everyone ranked it two
out of five, so it's not a one out of five,
or even say there's one out of ten, like they've
ranked it a four, so it's not a it's not
a you know, it's not a one. That still counts
as negative. So it doesn't mean that the movie's atrocious.

(01:09:16):
It does mean that more critics have said it's not
good than critics who have said it is good. Uh
the criticism I read, I only read one that was
in Vulture, and the critic their main argument was that, uh,
it's it doesn't ever really get compelling or emotionally moving,

(01:09:41):
Like it's just not very interesting, and that there are
a lot of ideas, but that they're just not really
fleshed out in a way that is satisfactor factory or satisfying.
I should say, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:09:59):
I again, I am very interested in Kate McKinnon being
an astronaut space explorer.

Speaker 2 (01:10:08):
Yeah, very That embryos to an alien planet, Yeah, like.

Speaker 1 (01:10:13):
That sounds interesting to me. That's the kind of sci
fi I've enjoyed in the past, and Kate McKinnon doesn't
often get to play now. I didn't watch the Roses
and I know she's in that, but she doesn't often
get to play very genuine characters.

Speaker 2 (01:10:25):
Yeah, and she's usually playing very silly, over the top characters.

Speaker 1 (01:10:29):
Yeah. And the clips I saw in this trailer, she
looked amazing, and I want to watch that. I don't
super care about the rest.

Speaker 2 (01:10:38):
Yeah. Yeah. Maybe it's always also possible that the critics
who have seen it so far are you know, it's
just a drop of the bucket that most critics haven't
seen it, and maybe other people will have a very
different take. So I don't want people to just assume
that sixteen percent means this movie is a lost cause
it just means that the early early response has been lackluster.

Speaker 1 (01:11:00):
Yeah, but let's.

Speaker 2 (01:11:01):
Compare that to our next movie, Man Meat Mountain Versus
the Robot.

Speaker 1 (01:11:08):
You mean, Halo. This is This is a trailer for
a war machine and it's good old classic army guys
come across a killer robot corps.

Speaker 2 (01:11:20):
Yeah, alien killer robot.

Speaker 1 (01:11:22):
Yeah. It very much feels like it came out of love.
Death and Robots was one of their short stories that
they just maybe it got denied from the short stories,
so they turned it into a full length movie.

Speaker 2 (01:11:34):
It made me the trailer reminded me of movies like Predator,
like the you know, the soldiers in wood wooded areas
fighting against an overwhelmingly powerful alien entity, in this case
a robot not an actual alien. Also had me remind
me a little bit of RoboCop because the design of

(01:11:55):
the robot reminded me of the D two nine, and
then also a little bit of Terminator, right like unstoppable
robot kind of on a mission. And the reason why
I said man Meat Mountain is that Alan Richson, who
plays Reacher in the Amazon Reacher series, is playing the
lead character. That's man Meat Mountain. If you ask me,

(01:12:19):
I mean, I back it.

Speaker 1 (01:12:22):
I it might be a fun enough afternoon popcorn watch,
but I've got so many of those. I don't think
I'm going to get to this one.

Speaker 2 (01:12:29):
Yeah, I this one didn't really work on. Maybe if
I were a bigger fan of that kind of late
eighties action movie model, maybe then I would want to
watch it. But like I kind of got my fill
on those now. Granted, I grew up in that era,
so I saw a lot of that style of movie.
Maybe someone you know, half my age would find this

(01:12:52):
really interesting because they didn't have that experience of growing
up in an era where like there were tons of
movies that were similar in in theme and and execution.
It comes to Netflix on March sixth, so you know
you'll have a chance to watch it if you are
a Netflix subscriber, And if this does sound interesting to you,
check out the trailer see see if it appeals. I

(01:13:14):
like Alan Richson. I think he's a I think he's
kind of interesting to watch Reacher is. It doesn't give
him a whole lot of chances to flexes his acting muscles.
He gets to flex all the other ones, but as
far as acting goes, it's a very like he's a
very stoic kind of character with like a rye sense

(01:13:36):
of humor. So I don't actually know what his ranges.

Speaker 1 (01:13:40):
Yeah, this will definitely show it. Next, we got a
second trailer for Disclosure Day. This one came out during
the fantastic Nocturnal bird.

Speaker 2 (01:13:50):
Ball Yeah game.

Speaker 1 (01:13:52):
Yeah, and it looks interesting. It shows us things we
haven't seen before and still tells us absolutely nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:14:00):
Yeah. This is the film by Steven Spielberg that kid
is going places, And the basic idea is that it's
the question is what would what would be your reaction
if you were given undisputable proof that we are not
alone in the universe, that there is an alien intelligence

(01:14:20):
that's also out there, and how would that really impact
life here on Earth? And which I think that's a
great premise for a movie. I'm like, I love that idea, Like,
you have come up with indisputable proof that there is
alien intelligence out there, how would the world react. The

(01:14:41):
thing that confuses me is this trailer also seems to
show acts of like either an alien visit or perhaps
alien invasion, And I'm like, Okay, did we learn about
them and then immediately they decide they're moving in? I mean, sure,
I just figured that we would have a little more
time because assuming that we detect them through electromagnetic radiation,

(01:15:06):
which travels at the speed of light, we would know
about them when they were still quite a ways away,
and it would probably take them a while to get here.
But that's not necessarily interesting from a movie perspective.

Speaker 1 (01:15:17):
Little known fact this is actually season two of Purvis.

Speaker 2 (01:15:23):
Emily Blunt and Josh O'Connor and Colin Firth, among others,
are in this. It comes out June twelfth. Anytime Spielberg's
doing a science fiction movie. I'm interested to see what happens.

Speaker 1 (01:15:35):
I actually had an interesting conversation with Tony about this
because he's like, other than ET and Close Encounters, what
sci fi has he done? I thought they've mostly been whiffs,
and I'm like, his original sci fi is very good.
His adaptations can be a little bit iffy. But I'm
also in like the minority that liked Minority Report and AI.

Speaker 2 (01:15:58):
So I liked Minority Report. I didn't like AI that much,
but I liked Minority Report quite a bit. Did he
do War of the Worlds? I didn't see it.

Speaker 1 (01:16:07):
He did the two thousand and five War of the
Worlds with Tom Cruise, which was a good movie. I mean,
it wasn't the original radio broadcast for sure, but it
was a fine adaptation, much better than the more recent one.
I wasn't a huge Tom Cruise fan at the time.
As far as his acting abilities.

Speaker 2 (01:16:26):
It was a.

Speaker 1 (01:16:27):
Standard Tom Cruise performance. But I will say I went
home and took a nap after watching that movie, and
Lightning struck and scared the ever living daylight out of me.

Speaker 2 (01:16:38):
Yeah, I think that would scare the ever loving daylight
out of me even if I hadn't seen the movie
just then.

Speaker 1 (01:16:45):
I mean, it didn't strike me struck outside.

Speaker 2 (01:16:48):
Well, I know it didn't strike you because you don't
have superpowers.

Speaker 1 (01:16:53):
Do I? Anyhow, I liked it just fine. I feel like, yeah,
his original stuff is usually better to me than like
his adaptations or his sequels. So some of his adaptations
are great, the original Jurassic Park, but you know anyhow.

Speaker 2 (01:17:12):
Yeah, this one's based off a story that he came
up with. David Kepp wrote the screenplay, but it was
based off a story from Spielberg himself. So I definitely
want to check this out because the man puts together
some really entertaining stuff, and if it actually is thought provoking,

(01:17:32):
that's a huge bonus. I'm not going to count on that. Like,
I do think it's a very interesting question of how
would the world be affected if we had proof of
alien intelligence, because I do think it would be disruptive
is too small a word, like, in some ways, I
think it could end up being catastrophic. So I do
think it's an interesting subject matter to pursue, although I

(01:17:53):
do think if you were to restrict yourself to that,
it would also probably be very dry. Yeah, so you've
got to have some spectacle in there. Okay, next up,
we only have two movies left, and this one is
the weirdest one on our list. I think it is
a trailer for a film called Operation Taco. Gary's so like, yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (01:18:20):
Don't know how I feel about this one. It's it's
about two brothers, one who's a conspiracy theorist and one
who's not.

Speaker 2 (01:18:28):
Played by uh oh gosh, Simon Rex I think is
one of them.

Speaker 1 (01:18:33):
Yeah, and then Dustin Milligan who played the the vet
on Ship's Creek. They get they get caught up in
a conspiracy about aliens, and it turns out the conspiracy
theorists are kind of right.

Speaker 2 (01:18:51):
Maybe it's hard to say based on the trailer, like
is this really happening? Is it like a hallucination? Who knows?
Because because this trailer is so weird, it is a comedy.
You can tell it's the comedy partly because Jason Biggs
is in it billed as Jason Biggs, like he's playing himself.

(01:19:11):
Brenda's song is in it, so she's married to mccullay Culkin. Yeah.
I was about to say, like, maybe maybe we'll get
to see Brenda and McCully on the Red carpet when
they're promoting this film, and yeah, I pretty much wrote
the same thing you said, Like, it follows a conspiracy
theorist who ropes his more practical brother into a misadventure

(01:19:31):
in an effort to uncover a massive conspiracy. Comes out
February twenty seventh, so it's coming out real soon. It
also Doug Jones is in it. I love Doug Jones.

Speaker 1 (01:19:42):
I was about to say, I I haven't watched a
lot of his stuff because he does a lot of horror,
but anything that's not horror, I try to see him in.

Speaker 2 (01:19:50):
Yeah. He you know, like for a long time you
wouldn't know him because he was always playing monsters right
like he was. He played a couple of the monstrous
characters in Pan's Labyrinth, most famously both Pan and the
Pale Man. Pale Man is still one of the creepiest
monster designs I've ever seen. I love that creature. He

(01:20:12):
was in the original hell Boy film. He was Abe
Sapien the body. Yeah, the voice was David Hyde Pierce,
who reportedly later was kind of mortified that they didn't
use Doug Jones as his performance as just the character.

(01:20:33):
He felt like he felt genuinely badly, because that wasn't
his intent and he didn't know coming into the project
that that's what was going to happen.

Speaker 1 (01:20:40):
Yeah, and Doug Jones is a phenomenal all around actor,
not just a creatures.

Speaker 2 (01:20:48):
He's one of the funniest supporting characters in What We
Do in the Shadows, the TV series, he's the Baron,
and as the Baron, he's phenomenal. He's so funny.

Speaker 1 (01:20:58):
He is very funny, and What We Do in the Shadows.
He's also one of the best characters in Star Trek Discovery.
He plays sorrow and is just absolutely wonderful. And he
seems like in real life. Now mind you, I have
not like spent time with him, and I don't get
to see stuff of him outside of like conventions or

(01:21:20):
TV or social media, but he seems like a really wholesome,
upstanding guy.

Speaker 2 (01:21:24):
Yeah. He's also in hocus Pocus, So for you millennials
out there, go nuts. Yeah. I think this trailer is
so strange that I do kind of want to see it, because, like,
even though A says we're watching it, I'm like, I
don't know if I would like this, but it's so
not what you typically encounter in entertainment, I kind of

(01:21:45):
feel like I need to see it, Yeah, for sure.
And then finally we have a silly little animated film,
the Minions and Monsters movie. I'm sure that there was
a trailer for this during the ginormous Game of Feet.

Speaker 1 (01:22:03):
There was a there was a Hey, this trailer is out,
go watch it.

Speaker 2 (01:22:08):
Got it?

Speaker 1 (01:22:09):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:22:10):
So, yeah, this is yet another Despicable Me spin off.
Can you guess just without looking it up? Ariel, can
you guess how many installments of Despicable Me there have
been when you when you combine them with the Minions movies.
I'll give you a hint. It's less than ten.

Speaker 1 (01:22:29):
Seven.

Speaker 2 (01:22:31):
Oh my gosh, you got it in one. There have
been seven installments. When I saw there have been seven
movies in the Despicable Me franchise, I was like, I've
only ever seen the first one and I remember nothing
about it.

Speaker 1 (01:22:46):
I haven't seen any I haven't even seen Despicable Me.
I just guessed that was like that was based off
of heart. Yeah, it felt like there had been seven.

Speaker 2 (01:22:56):
You were right, like it's trying to catch up to
the Fast and Furious.

Speaker 1 (01:23:00):
Yeah, I mean it's pretty fast and furious about doing
that too. This is honestly the one that has appealed
to me the most from trailers.

Speaker 2 (01:23:08):
Yeah. It's set in the nineteen twenties, apparently when the
Minions are trying to make a movie and they need
to have a monster in their monster movies that they're
out looking for Kaiju.

Speaker 1 (01:23:20):
And they summon.

Speaker 2 (01:23:22):
Babyuu Yeah, a little baby Cuthulhuh. That made me crack
up when I saw that it was a little baby Cuthulhu,
and I was like, Oh, this is this looks so silly.
I might have to watch. I kind of have a
low opinion of the Minions movies. I don't think that
they're necessarily bad or badly made or anything. They're just
I'm just like, these aren't for me, That's that's okay.

(01:23:44):
But when I saw this one, I'm like, maybe these
are for me and I've just been an ignorant, sour puss,
grunchy grumpy face. This comes out July first, and the
trailer was fun Like it was silly. Again, not something
I typically seek out, but it has a sense of
humor about it that I think is pretty appealing as

(01:24:06):
long as it's not all about banana farts.

Speaker 1 (01:24:09):
Yeah, yeah, I will say, like, I'm not. I haven't
been a huge fan of the Minion concept, but it
is funny to watch my friends crack up who have
also not watched Minions anytime drop out personality does a
Minion impression.

Speaker 2 (01:24:25):
Yeah, so I know, I know there's we have some
mutual friends who are big Minions fans.

Speaker 1 (01:24:33):
So, I mean that's great. Ridiculousness is not a horrible
thing to get enjoymentality.

Speaker 2 (01:24:39):
Yes, listen, if you were to present me two people
and one of them's like, I am a die hard rider,
die Minions fan, I love them, and the other one
was I like all the stuff that that what's his name?
The producer who's behind like American horror story and you

(01:24:59):
know all those things. Like if they're like, I'm a
diehard so and so fan, I'd be like, I'm gonna
go with the Minions percent.

Speaker 1 (01:25:07):
Yeah. I thought you were gonna say, yu'll bowl, but
that's fine too.

Speaker 2 (01:25:10):
Well that would No one's a die hard you a
ball fan, right except except for you. You've a bowl.
You've a bowl maybe, but other than that.

Speaker 1 (01:25:20):
Yeah, yeah, I'll see how this one does. I might,
I might, I might catch it on like streaming.

Speaker 2 (01:25:28):
Yeah, it looks cute. Like maybe if I had, uh
you know, maybe if my my younger niece is like,
let's go see this, maybe I would go see it
with her. Yeah, but yeah, I certainly wouldn't go to
the theater to see it because people would think that
I was being a creep.

Speaker 1 (01:25:47):
Yeah. Well, I don't know, but maybe maybe a fifty
year old.

Speaker 2 (01:25:50):
Man going into a movie by himself that's just filled
with kids, it would not look good.

Speaker 1 (01:25:56):
I mean, go, if you go at the right time,
you'll be the only person in the theater.

Speaker 2 (01:26:00):
At her that's true. Yeah, if I go in the
middle of the day when there's you know, everyone should
either be in daycare or school.

Speaker 1 (01:26:07):
And I feel like they're trying to appeal more to
the millennial gen X, because I don't know how many
kids super no or like Cthulhu. And also like, I
don't know how many kids are super into like you know,
the twenty Periods piece.

Speaker 2 (01:26:18):
I mean, I get that, But at the same time,
I think about the Warner Brothers cartoons I watched when
I was a kid that had tons of references to
Golden Age cinema actors that I had not encountered yet. True,
like you know, like carry Grant or whatever, And I'm like,
I have no idea who these are, but I think
the cartoons are funny. I think it's funny when the
rabbit makes the hunter fall down.

Speaker 1 (01:26:40):
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, but those references were put in
there for adults.

Speaker 2 (01:26:44):
So that's what I'm saying. It's like, yeah, I'm just saying, like,
I think that that even people who aren't haven't been
exposed to that particular area of film might still find
quite a bit of enjoyment in it. Just it's done well, true, true. Okay,
Well that that's all of it. That's all the stories

(01:27:06):
in our lineup, and we're wrapping up right at around
the hour and a half this time.

Speaker 2 (01:27:51):
Yeah, I'm legit gonna be at a meal Wolf exhibit tomorrow.
Which one will it be? Who's to say? There's a
