Bigfoot Werewolves and Asynchronous Haircuts?

In this tongue-tied episode, Ariel mixes up Yahoo for Yoohoo and Jonathan talks about "asynchronous haircuts" instead of asymmetrical ones. But trust us, we say some really smart stuff too!

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Hey, everybody, Welcome to the large Nerdrun Collider podcast, the
podcast that's all about Mikheki things happening in the world
around us and how very exciting we are about them.
I am Ariel Castin and with me as always is
the super cool, patient, wonderful, amazing Jonathan Streetman.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
I am down Dobe do down down the Witch's Road.
I was just combining a couple of songs there. Hey, Ariel,
Hey Jonathan, I got a question for you.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
You know this is going to turn out poorly.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
I know because I refuse to share it with you
ahead of time. But this is what happens when I
listened to old episodes and I'm like, oh, that was
a good idea. Why did I stop doing that this?

Speaker 1 (00:58):
And yes, this coffee is gonna make me have to
pee before we're done recording. And no, I'm not gonna
or your.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Question or there will be a cut sometime in this
episode where like, okay, I'll put in some like let's
all go to the lobby music or something.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
I will be like Ryan Reynolds and welcome to Wrexham,
where he forgets to turn off his microphone.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
That will be yeah, oh my gosh, aerel. I can
tell you stories how many times I've had to wear
like a love mic on a set and think, did
I turn that switch off? It's I can't look now
because I'm busy, but.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah, for sure for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Anyway, So no, your question is it is it is
trick or treating time you are a child and you
are trick and or treating, what is your favorite candy
to receive when you were trick or treating at Halloween?
What was the thing when you looked in your bag
you were like, that's that's like King of the Hill.

(02:00):
That's the best of the best.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Gosh, it's been so long since I've tricker treated.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Longer for me than for you.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
For sure, for sure. Uh So like it changes yearly.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Right, I think, Okay, that's that's legit.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
And like I can look back and be like, oh man,
I used to love these, but this was the real
the bomb. Like you get a little mini Charleston chew
and you stick it in the freezer and that is legit.
But that wasn't my favorite as a kid. My favorite
as a kid was probably a Reese's peanut butter cup
nice or butter fingers or butter fingers I like. I
like the peanut chocolate. I still like the peanut chocolate combo,

(02:38):
but now it switches out with I hated mounds and
almond Joys and now I love them, so it switches
out with that, with a York peppermint patty, and with
like a heath bar.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Wow, you have like named all the ones that are
my favorites too. The only the only one that I
would add that you did not include because I also
like the chocolate, peanut, butter, chocolate, coconut and chocolate TOAs combos.
I love those, and none of those are so chewy
that they'll like suck the fillings out of your teeth,
So I like those too. Butterfinger can get close. Actually,

(03:10):
Butterfingers probably the toughest.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
One, especially if it's older.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
But I love I mean, butterfinger used to be my
favorite candy bar when I was a kid. But the
other one that I liked was not chocolate at all.
It was sweet tarts. Sweet tarts were because I liked
sour candies. But you know, when I was a kid,
we didn't have like sour patch kids or anything. Those
weren't a thing yet. Heck, we didn't even have like

(03:34):
the the Warheads sour candies, yet so sweet tarts were
kind of where the the sour candy stuff was and
I really liked those, but that was also my go
to for movie theater snacks for trick or treating. Reese's
peanut buttercups probably top notch, Butterfinger right there with them.

(03:58):
So yeah, like all the ones you named, York peppermint
patty mounds, I prefer mounds to almond Joy because of
that is crazy about nuts in my candy. But I
still was happy to get an almond Joy.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
So yeah, yeah, I also like peanut m and ms.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah, peanut Eminem's are good too, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
But I don't like peanut butter eminem's and I do
not like Reese's pieces.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
You never have liked same, and I got them. I
got them for a while because there was this little
movie that came out and I'm actually probably gonna mention
the same little movie later in this episode, because one
of the trailers we watched essentially is this little movie
but with a little forest creature as opposed to an alien,
and that movie is ET. And yeah, Reese's pieces for

(04:40):
a while, I was eating those because of ET. But
I don't think I ever really liked them, and I
think it's because the peanut butter in those doesn't really
taste like peanut butter.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Well it doesn't because they don't burn it. We talked
about this on Business on the Brink. If you, if
anybody's listening who has listened to that show, go back
and find the old Reese's episode. The thing that makes
it rece Peace butter Cup Peanut Butter so good is
that they almost burnt the peanuts and then everybody loved
it and they had to keep doing it.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah. So great answers, Aeriel, great answers.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
That wasn't too bad.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
It wasn't. And I still like Smarty. I like, I
like a lot of candy. There was a period of
time when I was young where I like, if I
went into a candy store, I'd get a sugar Daddy, though.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Like the yeah you would no, You'd be like, hey there, mister,
would you like to buy me candy?

Speaker 1 (05:31):
The lollipop with like the sugar brown sugar oh on it?
But now I can't stand those. But I also used
to like Yahoo, and I don't like Yahoo anymore. The
chocolate tasting drink you.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Who you who? Not Yahoo. Yahoo was a search engine
that's different.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
I also don't care for that anymore. I loved it
for a time, but it keeps accidentally making itself my
default because of my antivirus.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
I want to say this though, this is this is
going down a rabbit hole, and I apologize, but it
just what you said sparked something in my head, which
is that I have always wanted to like moon pies
because they look like they should be delicious, but they
barely taste of anything.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Have you tried the different flavors?

Speaker 2 (06:23):
No, I've only tried the regular moon pie, and you
know moon pie and RC cola that's like the go
to Southern snack combo. And I don't know. I was
just it never hit me. So was there a particular
moonpie flavor that you would you would recommend?

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Well, I mean, like I like moon pies pretty well,
You're right, they don't have They don't pack a whole
lot of flavor, A lot of it is a textural thing.
But I have friends who don't like chocolate, but they
swear by the caramel or the banana moon pies.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Okay, I would try the caramel, but banana. I'm weird
about banana anyway. Like I'm not a big fan of
banana flavor, even to the point of like fresh bananas,
I would much I would much prefer a plantain to
a banana, whereas my partner is the opposite.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
I like bananas. They have to still be like they
just have to be on that verge of like unripe
to ripe, where they're still a little green, so that
they're tart the moment they get over ripe. I hate them,
but I love Yeah, I love myself A good a
good plantain, plantchain, chips, fried plantains, all of it.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
Tostoneses. We should not record this around lunchtime.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
No, No, there's a really good Cuban restaurant near me.
Now now I want to.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Go, Okay, I also want to go. We'll go after
you'll go, and then I'll be there in spirit because
I'm too far away. All right, Well, let's let's talk
about stuff that we have seen since the last time
we recorded. Uh. For me, that's easy because it's only
two things that I can think of, which is one
of them being Agatha all along, which we both have

(08:05):
continued watching. And I'll ask you more about your opinions
on that when we get to you, so I'll be
in a second. The other was I mentioned this in
the episode from Last Time, our uber super Duper long
episode where it was two episodes and one I saw
long Legs. So I watched that with our friend of

(08:27):
the show, Shay Lee, and it was it had a
much stronger effect on her than it had on me.
I liked it. I thought it was a very well
made movie. I thought it was very creepy, but I wasn't.
I wasn't as as scared as she was. But I

(08:48):
do think it was well worth watching.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Nice. Nice. I don't know if I could do that one.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
It's it's I mean, it is a very like it
is a film that deals with Satanism, although it doesn't
go into super deep detail on that end, but that
is like the throughput for the antagonist, so for people
who have any issues where the storyline involves like Satanists

(09:19):
or something, and that's kind of a trigger point for Shay.
I mean, she was brought up Catholic and so like
movies that deal with more so movies that deal with
demonic possession really are kind of touch and go for her.
But this one like I said, it just it hit
her pretty effectively. I thought that Nicholas Cage did a

(09:41):
fantastic job being very unsettling in that movie.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
Y'all. You need to watch Color out of Space. I do.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
That's been on my list forever and I haven't seen
it yet.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
So I we bought it for a friend for his
birthday and we all watched it together. I even donned
my Nicholas Cage pants have his face all over them.
They're kind of creepy and they look very inappropriate if
you just look quickly, because you're wearing faces all over
your lower half. But regardless, I think he might have
left the DVD here, so I might have it. I

(10:14):
could just load it to you.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
I think it's I'm pretty sure it's on multiple streaming
platforms because I've seen it. It's either on Amazon or Netflix.
I've seen. I've seen the the little thumbnail. I just
have never I need to make the time to watch it.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
It's I mean, it is really disturbing. Some of it
is very very gross, because of course it's love craft,
but it's it is a masterclass in Nick Cage just
committing to a role. So and I was very just
concerning So.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
What have you seen since the last time?

Speaker 1 (10:51):
Uh? I watched? Did I watch? I watched Last by Hotel.
I talked about it before, but I actually watched it
this week at least an episode. It's fun. It's got
a really clever like when someone gets eliminated what they
do is fun, and the challenges have kept me kind

(11:13):
of surprised at the beginning of it. I'm not super
into it. I love Titus Burgess. He is super hamming
up his role as the host slash hotel manager, which
for me, I'm like, good for you to just fully
committing to this bit. And for Tony it kind of
throws it turns him off a little bit to the show.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
A little too over the top.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
It's a little too over the top. But watching people
watching the actual cooking is a lot of fun. I
was speaking of cooking. I also watched the first episode
of Gastronauts, which is the dropout television cooking show where
there's a panel of three comedians and a challenge. I

(11:58):
guess is what you call a group of three chefs
competing for a prize and a challenge of three chefs,
and each comedian gives the chefs a challenge, so you know,
tune out for fifteen seconds if you don't want a
spoiler for Gastronauts. The first challenge was make the heaviest food.
The second challenge was make bread and butter but fancy,

(12:21):
and then the third challenge was make food I can
play with and then eat, So you know they are
they aren't challenges to make the best food, although the
chefs do try to make the best food within the challenge,
and they did a pretty good job. But it is
very comedy based. There's better than I expected.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
It's prompts that are not typically associated with making food, right, Like,
it's like, because you're talking about elements that are associated
with food, but you don't typically seek out food specifically
to fulfill whatever criteria happened to be presented.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
Yeah, so like the make food that I can play
with and then eat. Everybody tried to make food action
figures or tableaus or whatever, but that means the food
isn't going to be pretty. It's not like you're making
a gourmet dish implating it to be beautiful. You're putting
together small or cheese stick people. So gotcha, Now you
can make them really tasty.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
But I look forward to watching I've seen little clips
because it started to make the rounds on social media already.
I mean drop Out, Like a lot of Dropouts content
almost feels custom made to be chopped up and served
up in those short formats, whether it's reels or tiktoks
or whatever. So I enjoyed the bits I saw. They
seemed pretty a little low key actually for Dropout, like,

(13:46):
it wasn't as as loud and zany as a lot
of Dropout stuff typically is. But then again, it was
a tiny little excerpt, so I don't know if the
rest of it is a little crazy.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
It is definitely crazier. It is maybe more low key show.
It's not like Game Changer level insanity, right, but it's
still got a lot of zaniness in it. Other than that,
I'm still working my way through Welcome to Wrexham, which
I didn't expect to like, but I've really enjoyed. I
don't even like football, but I guess when you edit

(14:17):
it down to its most exciting points, it's quite palatable.
And then I also watched Agatha all along and this
I think was the second strongest episode.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Interesting. I've seen some people complain about the most recent
episode because it's it's a flashback episode, like most of
the episode is a flashback for one of the characters,
and so there were some people who were who felt
that it was it was pulling a WandaVision in that

(14:53):
just as the story is really picking up, it suddenly
derails and does a flashback. But I'm like, I think
that's fine. I don't have an issue with it. I
didn't have an issue with it with WandaVision either, so
to me that that wasn't a thing that bothered me.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah, it didn't bother me either. I could see how
like WandaVision, definitely did change tone at a certain point
and went to a different part of the story, but
it was important to move the overarching plot along, and
I was fine with it, even though I super loved
the initial concept of WandaVision and I love how it ended.
I love almost everything about how it ended too, But

(15:36):
this one, again, I think it gave us new impertinent information.
It filled in some gaps. And so it was a
flashback episode, so we had seen kind of the scenes
that had happened before, but we were seeing them from
a different perspective, and I thought they did that incredibly well,

(15:57):
and I was tickled pink about it.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
That part where there's the overlap between the flashback episode
and the first episode of Agatha All Along was probably
the most enjoyable bit. There are some things that are
I mean, none of it was super surprising, Like a
lot of it was just confirming people's theories about certain

(16:21):
characters in the series. I'm dancing around it because I
don't want to spoil anything, but the one of the
potential consequences of that is one I find really troubling.
But I'll talk to you about that off, Mike, because
there's no way to talk about it that's not a spoiler.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
Yeah, yeah, that's fine. I do want to hear about
it though. There was also a cameo in the episode
that just tickled me.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Oh yeah, yeah. A character from Wanda Vision has a cameo.
Yeah yeah in the episode.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
In the overlap portion. Did you read the shirt that
Agatha was wearing.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
You know what's funny is that I didn't notice it
when the episode was playing, but then I found out
about it afterward when I was reading an article and
I thought, how did I miss this? That's incredible.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
It was hilarious. It was hilarious. Honestly, I think the
flashback from a different perspective and kind of filling, taking
some time to fill in the mystery a little bit,
even though there are potentially really disturbing side effects of
the storyline they're telling. I think it's more clever than
using the Witch's Road Song as a mcguffin every episode.

(17:36):
So it only was.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
Used as a as a part of the trial in
one episode.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
But we had to listen to them sing the entire
song more than once. I don't mind it popping up
here and there. I think that's cool, Like you know,
like in Lost, when the numbers keep showing up. I
think it's cool to keep alluding to it and keep
having it pop up. But for it to be so
front and forward that close together, I think just I

(18:07):
was like, I just watched this.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
I guess it's just we should just be lucky that
the Salem seven didn't have to sing it to get
in there.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
That's true. I did watch a TikTok video with the
actors who play the Salem seven. Did you know each
Salem seven character is based off a different animal?

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah? Yeah, I didn't. Raven and Fox and a Locust
and a snake. Yeah, because that's connected to their comic
book origins. Even though the version and Agatha all along
and the version of the comics are different, they're not

(18:50):
they don't have the same origin because in the comics,
the Salem Seven are Agatha's grandchildren.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Yeah. I have not read any any of those comics,
to be quite honest, so.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Neither of I. But I've watched a lot of New
Rock Stars where they break down the episode. They're like
eighty three easter eggs in episode four, and I'm like,
how is that even possible? All right, let's watch.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
But I also thought that Joe Locke, who is the
actor he plays Teen, don't worry. I knew I was.
I was there with you. I appreciate you trying to
keep me from spoiling I think. But yeah, the actor
who plays Teen, I think that the last couple of
episodes have really given him a chance to truly shine

(19:45):
his versatility there. I don't know anyhow, Joe Locke's of
versatility is really impressive.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah. Yeah, I'm enjoying where it's going. I look forward
to seeing the rest of the story play out. And yeah,
was there anything else that you saw that you wanted
to talk about shall we move to thirty Seconds or less?

Speaker 1 (20:09):
The second season of Very Important People, which is another
dropout show how to trailer, and they are getting Bobby moynihan,
Echo Kellam who played Mister Terrific and Arrow and Nicole
Byers this year.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
So if you're not familiar with that series, it has
it's a mess comedians and improvisers taking on the role
of a character that they create on the spot based
off costumes and makeup that has been applied to them.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
And then they got them being able to look at
it until it's done.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
Yeah, it's just revealed to them. Once it's all been applied,
they get to see themselves. Then they have to create
a character based upon that appearance, and then they go
on like an interview show and they have to answer,
they have to be interviewed, and all the episodes are ridiculous.
Some of them are transcendently funny.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Yes, and some of them annoy me to no end,
But that's improv for you.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yeah, it's a mixed bag.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
It's a mixed bag. That's it.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Okay, Well, then let's segue on over to thirty seconds
or less.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
Sure. Oh, I also watched the latest Fox Maka it
continues to be good. Okay, uh okay, I'm first, hey,
do do do do do? Uh? That's not a Porky
Pig noise, but this next story is about Porky Pig.
First story, Lord Almighty, We're getting a Looney Tunes movie
in twenty twenty five, The Day the Earth Blew Up.

(21:41):
It features Daffy Duck and Porky Pig, and apparently he's
been getting really good reviews. It was originally I think,
supposed to be the least for streaming it, but is
now getting a theater release, which is surprising for multiple reasons,
one being that Looney Tunes still and two just being
that Max's track record for that lately has not been great.

(22:03):
So I guess that is good news.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
Yeah, especially since the Wily Coyote film got shelved right
like it was supposed to get released, and they got
it was turned into at text right off, and no
one ever gets to see it. Well, we have known
that Disney has been working on both a new Freaky
Friday sequel that's titled, of course, Freakier Friday, as well
as a live action adaptation of Leelo and Stitch, but

(22:26):
now we also know when those movies are scheduled to
hit theaters. Leelo and Stitch will face off against Tom
Cruise's Mission Impossible eight on May twenty twenty five, and
Freakier Friday is plated for August eighth, twenty twenty five,
right up against Leonardo DiCaprio's film The Battle of Backton Cross.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
I feel like those have completely different audiences, so it
should be fine.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
Yeah, it's culture programming.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yeah, speaking of things that are getting new life like
freak Here Friday and Looty Tunes, Amazon is picking their
God of War series back up, basically because Fallout was
so popular. But they are changing who's working on it,
and they're kind of giving it like a working on

(23:15):
a fresh take and trying to make it a new
thing and not just redo the previous thing that they
were working on, Which means that Rafae Jenkins, who is
the executive producer for Wheel of Time, as well as
Mark Ferguson Hawk Otsby, who are the executive producers for
Children of Men and Iron Man, are no longer involved
with the project. I am excited. I know Dad of

(23:37):
War is a really popular story and watching my husband
play it has been a lot of fun. With how
well they did fall Out, I suspect that they could
do a really good job of it. And honestly, even
though I've watched all of Wheel of Time thus far,
and I also watched Children of Men once, those didn't

(24:00):
strike me as so good. So I'm glad if someone
else is working on it, because it means it's a
better chance of me liking it well.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
The Peacocks series poker Face introduced us to human BS
detector Charlie Kel, who has the absolute worst luck. Wherever
she shows up, someone dies and then she's left to
figure out what happened. Season two of the series is
now in production, and a bunch of famous folks are
scheduled to guest star this season, including Giancarlo Esposito, Katie Holmes,

(24:30):
Coopmeil Nan, Johnny and John mulaney, among others. And my
advice to those folks is don't become Charlie's friend, because
that's a death sentence.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Charlie being the main character. That's great news. I'm glad
poker Face is getting another season for sure. Edgar Wright
is redoing The Running Man, which is a Stephen King
novel about a dude who has to survive like a
certain number of days being hunted by like FBI assassins

(25:02):
as a part of a game show to entertain the
general populace. Josh Brolin is going to be starring in it,
and Glenn Powell is also in it, so yeah, that's
a thing.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
Lee Pace is also going to be in it. Oh Isy,
Yeah that was That was another announcement that was done
just before we went to record. But Lee Pace has
has joined the cast. Yeah, it's a It was written
under the pen name Richard Bachman, so it was one
of the Bachman novels, and really it's a novella, very
very very different from the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie that eventually

(25:39):
came out. The two have homeless, almost no commonality.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
Honestly, I'm much happier with Edgar Wright taking a stab
at it, even though it's been done before. Then the freakin'
reality show game show they tried to do a while ago.
That just rubbed me the wrong way.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
Really bad idea, like that's just a recipe for people
to get hurt. Okay, yes, Well. Tom Holland revealed that
he and Zendaiah recently read over a draft script for
Spider Man four, and that while the film still needs work,
he thought it was a fitting and exciting continuation of
Spider Man's story. Holland has said he would be happy
to return to web Slinging as long as the story

(26:17):
is right, but that it's always a challenge fitting a
narrative into the larger unfolding MCU storyline, and that makes sense.
Here's hoping we get some Spidery action in the Avengers
films as well.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
That would be cool. CBS is working on a show
that I'm excited about, which means I might have to
keep paramount plus longer. Good jobs, CBS. It is a
show called Watson, starring Morris Chetnut, Chestnut and Chetnut, and
it comes out on the twenty sixth of January. It's

(26:50):
about Watson from Sherlock Holmes after Sherlock Holmes gets killed
by Moriarty and he goes back to his medical practice
and helps people, but then still has to kind of
battle Moriarty. I find that super interesting and I'm very
excited about it.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
It's a weird twist because usually it's Moriarty who stays
dead and Holmes who comes back. Well, hey, do you
have kids who are too young for the Marvel movies,
but you still want to indoctrinate them into the world
of superhero so they can grow up to be good
little capitalist consumers. Or great news because Disney has greenlit
a series for Disney Junior called Iron Man and his

(27:30):
Awesome Friends. It's for preschoolers. It's set to have Iron Man,
iron Heart, and Iron Hulk team up and have happy
adventures together while locking kids into a lifetime of fandom.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
I don't hate it.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
Ah.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
Lastly, yes, lastly, we got a trailer for Subnatica too.
I am I'm going to be completely honest here. I
confused it with Dave the Diver when I put it
into our lineup, knowing that Jonathan and my husband are
both a fan of that game. However, Subnatica is an
underwater survival game. It's beautiful. Subnatica two looks really fun

(28:12):
and really scary and really beautiful all at the same time.
I think I have Subnautica one on my medic Quest
two and I get motion sick. I can't even get
out of the starting zone because I keep getting motions sick.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
Yeah. I haven't played Subnatica. I've seen videos of people
playing it and it looks great. I just have never
played that game, but I am continuing to play Dave
the Diver, and in fact, I ended up getting into
some I think some DLC content when I was playing
last night, because I don't remember experiencing it the first

(28:48):
time I was playing through because I had played through
the whole main storyline previously. But the game continues even
after you complete the storyline, you can keep playing. I
just stopped because I'd pretty much done everything you can
do in the game, and then last night something happened
where I was like, I don't remember that. I mean,

(29:08):
maybe it happened and I just don't remember it. That's
entirely possible too, But I feel like I finally encountered
some DLC stuff.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
Nice. Nice, that's really cool. Sub Natica too, looks pretty cool.
I'm excited to maybe try it. I'm gonna take some
dramamine and try to play some Natica one again.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
I have real issues with VR games like that too,
Like if my body doesn't feel the motion that my
brain thinks I should be feeling, then my stomach's like, yeah,
I don't know what's happening, but everybody's got to leave
right now.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
So part of the problem is and I get motion
stick at like playing co Op Portal. I get motion
stick playing Portal. Let me just say that Portal too.
But we bought it on Steam to play on our
VR headset, and it was really slow. So there are
some like mods you can add to it to make

(30:10):
movement quicker, but that sometimes hurts when you're also simulating
being on.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
The water, I would imagine, so well.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
No problem with Beat Saber whatsoever.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
That's great, Like, yeah, I for me, VR is just
one of those things where everything has to work just
right or else I will get motion sick. And I
used to be like I was one of those kind
of kids who almost never got motion sickness unless I
insisted on reading in the back of the car, in
which case, if I did that and I wasn't careful

(30:43):
and I saw too much motion out of my peripheral vision,
I'd be like, uh oh, I don't feel so good.
But yeah, these days now, like if I don't get seasick,
but any other type of motion sickness can definitely hit
me hard.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
Yeah, I'm getting motionstick just thinking about it.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
Well, let's change the subject and talk about a whole
bunch of different trailers and stuff that we saw that
we watched for this week's episode, Starting with a trailer
for a film that's an adaptation of a graphic novel
that came out in twenty eighteen. It's called The Electric State.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
I had missed that it was a graphic novel. Yeah,
this story, it's done by the Russo brothers and it
tracks a young woman as she tries to find her
brother who kind of disappeared during the sentient robot uprising.
And now the robots are set in theory, sequestered to

(31:45):
like their own part parcel of land to live on,
and both the robots and humanity are kind of suffering.
And it's a look on what makes you human. We
talked about it a little bit in our giant, humongous
blowout Super Sale episode.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
Yeah, the trailer looks great. Like it looks it's just
really pretty like it's really well done in that sense.
The robot design is all over the place, very weird.
I want to say, there was a robot mister Peanut
in there. It's set in the mid nineties, by the way,
it's an alternate mid nineties when the story takes place

(32:29):
and the description I read because I have not read
the graphic novel, I've only read about it. But the
description I read was very vague as to the nature
of the war that had happened. It's just that war
has happened in the past. The world is kind of

(32:49):
in recovery after this massive conflict. And as Ariel said,
the story mostly follows this young woman played by Millie
Bobby Brown in this film on the on the lookout
for her long lost brother, and Chris Pratt decides to
help her and probably be a smart ass about it.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Probably it looked good. Through most of the trailer, you
don't get to hear the robots speak. They do speak
towards the end, and that really surprised me, and I
kind of laughed really hard.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
Yeah, there's some great there's some great actors attached to this,
and I imagine a lot of them are providing voices
for the robots. Next up is the thing I mentioned
at the beginning of the episode, or at least I
was alluding to it, the Legend of Ochi, which to
me is e t but with Woodland cryptid instead of alien.

(33:45):
But yeah, it gave me very strong et vibes.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
Yeah, also like this this cryptid doesn't exist thing. We
also had another one between Et and ledgend Ofvochi. We
talked about, obviously Chupa which I never watched, about the Chupacabra.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
Yeah, I remember. We talked about that.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
This one looks cute. It's got a heck of a cast. Interestingly,
then Wolfhart is in it, but he is not the
lead character, which is lovely.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
Yeah, he's a supporting character in this one.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Yeah. And it's it's kind of like a this this
girl befriends a baby werewolf esque type creature, except it's
not a were wolf. It just it's a hairy faint.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
Yeah, kind of like if you were to cross a
were wolf in Bigfoot.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
Yeah. Yeah. And everybody else, like her dad who or
caretaker who is William Dafoe and such, think that they're
dangerous and that she can't help it, and she tries
to rescue it and bring it to its family. And
it looks heartwarming, and it looks like it would ping
my anxieties overrigin hard.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
Because if your thing about animal endangerment.

Speaker 1 (34:59):
Yeah, and animals being sad and.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
Yeah, I don't know. I saw this and I thought Yeah,
there's certain movies that I feel like this falls into
that category, et being a big one, but also iron giant,
like that kind of thing small kid befriends a thing
that people view as either dangerous or they want to

(35:26):
be able to study it. That's a pretty common trope
in you know, family friendly science fiction stuff, So this
feels like it falls right into that category. Not saying
that it's not going to be good or that's not
going to have new things to say, I just feel
like it's similar enough where I'm getting those vibes.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
Yeah. Yeah, And if King Kong taught me anything, it's
that it's going to end up in a horribly depressing way.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
So well probably, I don't think it's going to end
up in a Harry and the Henderson's kind of way,
where I mean the girl heard her quest really is
to return the animal to where it belongs. So assuming
everything does work out, and I imagine it will, because
I don't think this is going to be a dark,
family friendly sci fi film. But assuming everything works out,

(36:16):
then that by nature means they have to separate at
the end, So it's like having to say goodbye to
your darling dog.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
And heartbreaking the heart breaking.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
No, that's and that's what Et was, and that's what
The Iron Giant was, and that's why I think it's
going to fall into that same category.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
I never watched Iron Giant because I was afraid of it.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
Iron Giant is so good, It is such a great
but it is sad. I'm not gonna lie, it's a
sad movie. But it is like you'll never hear the
name Superman the same way again. Ever interesting, it's amazing.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
I like, I I know it is, I've heard the accolades.
I just the other option is there are two other
options of the way Legend of Ohi could end. She
can leave her new best friend that she's basically surrogate mothered.
Her family is tracking her, so they could kill all
of the Ochi's.

Speaker 2 (37:18):
I don't think that's gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
Or she could leave her family and go live with
the Ochi's, which is the happiest option, but not the
one I think that's gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
She just gets real hairy at the end and just
becomes part of their group.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
She's like like Mowgli if the humans never if he
never encountered human society.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
Well, I thought the trailer. The trailer looked good, but
it also, like I said, it was striking me as
very familiar. And maybe it turns out that all of
my guesses are wrong, which would be cool. But yeah,
it looks it's a good trailer. You should definitely go
check it out if you haven't seen it. We also

(37:57):
got a final trailer, or at least a new trailer
full trailer, for the second season of Arcane, and when
we talked about the teaser, I mentioned that I thought
the art style was really really compelling, and that's still
the case. Like this trailer. I don't know. I don't

(38:20):
know what's going on even a little bit because I
never watched the first season and I didn't play the game.
I have no clue what's happening. But holy cow, it
looks good.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
Yeah, I did watch the first season, and I can't
tell you a whole lot of what's going on in
the trailer. And it's frustrating because I also played the game,
and I'm like, I should know all of these Easter
eggs that I can tell are Easter eggs, but I
don't remember. It's been too long. But it does look pretty.
It looks like it's going to be full of action,

(38:52):
and yeah, I will end up watching the second season.
I look forward to seeing how they resolve this.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
I was just I was so impressed by that art style,
Like it's been a while since I've seen footage from
an animated film where the art style made that big
of an impression on me, and it just looks so pretty.
Like again, I don't know, I don't I don't have
any idea what's happening or who these people are or

(39:22):
what their motivations are or what the threats are, but
good golly, that art looks great.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
It is I mean, very basic story is that v V,
who is the girl with the short pink hair, and
her sister who has the little pale with the long,
long blue braid, got separated as older children, and her
sister got taken in by a bad guy, and it's
them dealing with the aftermath of this in this world

(39:51):
that is fighting on whether it should accept the I
don't know if it's I don't remember if it's called
the arcane, but like basically this magical material that can
do all this kind of really weird stuff that they
don't trust. So that's that's it.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
That's the that's it in nutshell? Huh Yep, Well, I definitely,
I definitely feel like I definitely feel like I should
check it out because, like I said, I just and
I should watch it on my actual television as opposed
to my computer, because it was just so impressive visually
that I would hope the the writing and the performances

(40:31):
measure up to all the rest of it, because like, yeah,
the art was just gorgeous.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
I'll be interested to see what you think. Have you
done any more New Girl or did you give up
on it?

Speaker 2 (40:43):
I haven't watched any New Girl yet. I haven't. Oh,
I haven't given up because I haven't started.

Speaker 1 (40:49):
I thought you watched some of it because you didn't
like one of the characters.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
No, no, I was joke. I was joking about it
in a recent episode. But I and watched any of it,
and it's not the characters that I have an issue with.
It's the actress.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
Oh okay, okay. I thought, so there is a character who,
like I could have sworn it sounded like you watched
it last week or the week before, there is a
character who's who is problematic and who grows to be
less problematic as time comes on.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
You mentioned that when we talked about it, but I
had not seen it yet. You did mention that there
was such a You said there was a character I
was not going to like, but that the character gets better.

Speaker 1 (41:31):
But but that character is not played.

Speaker 2 (41:38):
Yeah, that's the problem is that I have an issue
with the actor, not the characters. Do you?

Speaker 1 (41:42):
But do you have an issue with the actor or
do you have an issue with the actor based on
a movie you didn't like.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
It's mostly based off of the things I've seen that
actor in and that I was not impressed. I was
not impressed by that actor's performance, and in fact found
it to be off putting. But to be fair, that's
a couple of performances. It doesn't mean that that's the
totality of what she is capable of doing. But the

(42:11):
stuff I saw was pretty darn bad. I mean to
be here like ten tin Man was so bad, it's amazing.
I still like Allan comming. That's how bad ten Man was.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
I agree, But also, this is nothing like that.

Speaker 2 (42:25):
I would imagine not a New Girl. A New Girl
was like ten Man. I'd be like, how the heck
did this get made?

Speaker 1 (42:32):
I'm choking on my own spit laughing at.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
That, just like good lord, Like let's let's take let's
take ten Man, a failed mini series on sci fi
and turn it into a sitcom where where Dorothy moves
next door.

Speaker 1 (42:48):
It's better than tin Man. It's better than she was
in Elf.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
It would have to be. Those are the two things
I can think.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
Of that I've seen. So it's so much, so much better.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
But I think it's just that she gave off such
like you know, there's certain actors where it's not that
they play the same character over and over, but there
are certain mannerisms those actors have that find their way
into everything they do. So for me, like Winona Writer
is a good example, Jenna Ortega is a good example.

(43:18):
Like there are actors who they can do very different parts,
but there's certain things that are just kind of always
going to find their way into their performances. For Zoey Deschanel,
I worry that some of it is that kind of
disaffected hipsterism that I find so tiresome.

Speaker 1 (43:37):
So she I mean, she is quirky, She's much like
Zoey Deschanel. Her character and New Girl is very tweet,
but she is not at all disaffected.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
She is a.

Speaker 1 (43:48):
Very enthusiastic, optimistic, somewhat naive, child like elementary school teacher.

Speaker 2 (43:57):
Okay, I will get a round to it, like it'll happen.
I will. I probably here, I'm going to make a
promise here and now, in front of you and our
audience and everybody, that before we get to December thirty first,
twenty twenty twenty four, I will watch at least an

(44:21):
episode of New Girl, probably the first.

Speaker 1 (44:24):
One, except for the first one is not the best one.
But that's sorry.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
That's I mean, if I watched it, I'm like, oh,
the whole shit series is terrible because I watched the
first episode. That's it. That's I feel like I've met
my part of the obligation.

Speaker 1 (44:39):
I mean, I feel like you need to get a
couple episodes.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
But if that's fair, it's all right. I'll give it.
I'll give it a good shot. I'll give it because
I joke about it. But I know the first episode
of any series is often touch and go.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
Yeah. Yeah, anyhow, I didn't mean. I just I had
thought that you had watched it, so that's the thing.

Speaker 2 (45:02):
Yeah. I also have not watched Dune Prophecy.

Speaker 1 (45:05):
Well this because it's not out yet.

Speaker 2 (45:07):
That's one reason.

Speaker 1 (45:08):
Yes, did you watch Dune or did Dune?

Speaker 2 (45:13):
I watched the first Dune. I haven't seen the Dune
Run run. I haven't seen that one, but I've seen
the first one, which I thought was good. I thought, like,
I mean, I'm not as I'm not as big into
the Dune lore as as some of our friends are,
who are really big fans of Dune, Like they are
fans of the books, they know all the lore, they

(45:34):
were really looking forward to the movies. That's not me.
I've always been aware of it, but it was never
like anything I saught after. But I will say the
trailer for Dune Prophecy, if you want more Dune and
you're also kind of hoping for a Reese's Peanut Buttercup

(45:56):
kind of experience where you got your Dune on my
Game of Own, Hey, you got your Game of Thrones
on my Dune. Dune Prophecy lists like it's gonna serve
right up the alley for you.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
Yeah. Yeah, I feel I just feel like it's it's
Jedi meets bsg.

Speaker 2 (46:15):
Oh see for me. I just it was giving such
Game of Thrones energy to me, Like I do get
that part of that is because it is you know,
it is about the Bena Jesaret, the Sisterhood, and the
whole purpose of the Sisterhood is to shape events in
order to preserve the Empire and to bring about this

(46:37):
foretold future that you know it happens like ten thousand
years later. So obviously it's gonna be the very Games
of Thrones ish because it's all about controlling all the
elements to make sure that this one future happens.

Speaker 1 (46:51):
Yeah, maybe that's why it felt like BSG to me too,
because there's also a foretold future that people are working
for in that at least in the new the Sify
Siffy one. I mean, it looks pretty I'm interested. I
thought the first Dude movie was very well done. I mean,

(47:11):
I've talked about my opinions about it on the show,
so I won't bore y'all. I thought the second one
had a lot more stuff, and this one obviously isn't
centered all on Aracus, so you get to explore a
lot more of the wide world created.

Speaker 2 (47:26):
Here's the thing is that I had forgotten that the
Second Dune had already been out, like like it was
one of those I like, in my mind it's that
thing that we're waiting to get released. And I remember
that Anya Taylor Joy isn't it? And like Florence Pugh
isn't it? Or something like that, and I'm like, I'm like, oh,
when is that coming out? Oh yeah, I guess you can.

(47:46):
It's been out and I haven't.

Speaker 1 (47:48):
You can't watch it on streaming now.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
I know, right, Like, oh man, I should watch it
on streaming because, like I said, I like the first one.
I thought. I thought I didn't go crazy for it.
It wasn't like my Cup of Tea. But I thought
it was really well done, and I thought it was
performed well, and I thought the special effects and everything
were really well realized, Like it all looked good. It

(48:11):
just I don't know. It's probably the same way a
lot of people feel about Lord of the Rings, where
they don't they just don't. They don't feel a connection
to the material and they can recognize, yeah, this is
big and it's got a lot of moving parts and
it's incredible that they were able to achieve this, but
still doesn't mean anything to me. I think it's the
same sort of thing for me.

Speaker 1 (48:30):
Yeah, yeah, June doesn't mean a whole lot to me,
but I am familiar with it, and I will probably
watch this prophecy.

Speaker 2 (48:42):
I'll have to ask you what it's like. I don't
think i'm gonna watch it. I just don't think there's
enough for me to be interested in it. But I
am very curious to hear what you think about it.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
Yeah, yeah, for sure. Also, we're getting Citadel. The new
Citadel isn't even out yet, and we're already getting a
spin off, Jonathan.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
Actually, the new Citadel is out. It came out. It
came out like last week. Yeah, Citadel Citadel Diana, which
is the Italian one, came out earlier this month, and
then Citadel Honey Bunny, which is the Indian spin off
of Citadel, comes out later this year. And so if

(49:22):
you if you don't remember, Citadel is like this big property.
It's kind of like a like if you wanted to
try and manufacture and integrated cinematic universe, just coming out
of the gate with brand new IP. That's what Citadel is.
We've already got a season of it in America where
it was the you know, the story about this kind

(49:43):
of like spy agency and there's all this intrigue and
double crosses and stuff like that. We got the Italian one,
which I believe is Citadel Diana. That was the one
that had the woman with the asynchronous haircut or the haircut. Yeah,
I hated that haircut. And now getting Citadel Honey Bunny,
which is the one set in India. I gotta say,

(50:06):
out of all the things I've seen from Citadel, this
is the one that appealed to me the most, probably
because there was a lot more light hearted humor in it.

Speaker 1 (50:14):
Yeah, Citadel Honey Bunny looked really fun. It looked like
it had action and intrigue in humor and acting was great,
and I I am on board for it. It looks
like Citadel Diana has a five point nine on IMDb
and an eighty two percent on Rotten Tomatoes, So that's
sixty seven percent of people like the TV show. Apparently

(50:35):
that's not horrible.

Speaker 2 (50:37):
No, it's not great, I mean, but it's not horrible.
Uh Yeah, that one to me looked much more generic
spy action movie, right Like. It looked like, you know
how whenever a really big film comes out and then
you get a bunch of movies that try to kind
of emulate that same thing, but they just they're kind

(50:58):
of pale imitations. To me. Citadel Diana was kind of
looking like, okay, well this is sort of a pale
imitation of like Mission Impossible. That's kind of how it
felt to me, or one of the I think you
mentioned atomic blonde when we were talking about it, and
it does have a very atomic blonde kind of energy too. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
I don't think it was for Citadel Diana though, I
think it was for something else, but it does have
a very atomic blonde energy to it. I think it
was for like Black Canary or something.

Speaker 2 (51:25):
Oh, you're right, it was Black Canary. You're right. The
thing is, though, is that it's like, yeah, those properties
are incredibly similar to me.

Speaker 1 (51:35):
Yeah, I was like Red Sparrow, no atomic blond, no
black widowed, no.

Speaker 2 (51:43):
Purple Ostrich.

Speaker 1 (51:45):
However, Honey Bunny looks delightful. I like, I'm actually going
to put this on my list of things to watch,
provided I can watch it. Unlike the Australian The Office,
which still hasn't come to the US, but it's also
getting really good reviews.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
That well, we really like that trailer. That trailer looked funny.
The next trailer does not look funny, but it does
have someone who's typically in like a lot of comedic
things playing one of the characters. He's actually playing the
antagonists in this. We got a trailer for an action
movie called carry On, which Ariel sent to me and

(52:21):
said something about it being kind of diehardish, and I said, yeah,
it's like die Hard in an airport, except that's die
Hard Too too.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
I said it was like die Hard too. I think
you just missed the two.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
I didn't see the two. I didn't see the too.
I just saw die Hard.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
It's like die Hard Too if you make it less
heartwarming and funny, but still about Christmas.

Speaker 2 (52:44):
Right, well, not about Christmas. It's set during Christmas. Where
are we going to relitigate this? We already had ours.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
We did it with die Hard one. We haven't done
it with die Hard Too yet.

Speaker 2 (52:56):
Let's relitigate. Okay, So it takes place, it's during.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
It takes place during Christmas.

Speaker 2 (53:01):
Yeah, and if John McClain was a TSA agent instead
of a cop.

Speaker 1 (53:05):
Yeah. And so the antagonist is played by Jason Bateman,
who has done a lot of comedic stuff and a
lot of serious stuff. Ozarks, I would not say it's comedic, No,
it's not. It's horribly depressing but very well done. I
have friends in that show. And then the TSA agent
is played by Taron Egerton, who has also done funny
stuff like Kingsman.

Speaker 2 (53:28):
Yeah, so it's funny because I don't associate Bateman with
like action movie stuff. But then I wouldn't have associated
Alan Rickman with action movie stuff either.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
So.

Speaker 2 (53:40):
Yeah, it appears that the trailer shows a storyline where
Bateman's character wants to get a suitcase containing something potentially
very deadly something through security and makes contact with Edgerton's

(54:01):
TSA agent character and says, hey, you've got to let
this bag through security or else I'm going to kill
the people you love. And then things explode and action happens.

Speaker 1 (54:12):
Yes, I mean see it is it is Diehard too,
because Taron Egerton has like us, He's an action slightly
comedic action star who's got a squarehead. So was Bruce Willis. Yeah,
neither neither Rickman or Bateman are considered action stars but
play really good drama and villainy.

Speaker 2 (54:32):
So yeah, but but Rickman wasn't the villain and die
Hard too, that was that was a different actor. Who
is William Sadler, who I also love William Sadler, phenomenal,
nomenal actor.

Speaker 1 (54:48):
You're right, it's it's it's like, it's like if die
Hard had Bad the Bad Guy. It's like if the
Bad Guys was it from season three of Buffy when
she was in college, if that organization grew up.

Speaker 2 (55:07):
Anyway, check out check out the trailer, because we've done
a terrible job at discarding it for such a simple concept.
We really circled the drain on that one.

Speaker 1 (55:18):
Yeah, if you like scarry, actiony stuff, it'll probably be
for you. I think Red One will be my Christmas
movie this year, but we'll see.

Speaker 2 (55:27):
I don't think this will be my Christmas. I mean,
i'll probably watch this when it's on streaming because I
have an issue with action films because I feel like
Diehard set a very very high standard for really entertaining
action movies where you actually care about the characters, and

(55:49):
a lot of other movies try to take the shortcut
to get to where Diehard was without doing the work,
and they just feel hollow as a result. So I
actually got burnt earned by action movies. I think Speed
got about as close as any other action film did
for a very long time.

Speaker 1 (56:07):
Did you like Red?

Speaker 2 (56:10):
Red is Okay? I've got some issues with Red that
are more philosophical slash tonal.

Speaker 1 (56:19):
Gotcha, gotcha? Okay. Yeah, although I will say, for carry On,
if Taron Egerton does not say yippie kaye or at
some point entire movies wasted.

Speaker 2 (56:33):
How can the same thing happened to a different guy?

Speaker 1 (56:36):
Yes, well, like it's like Mattlock. You know, the show
or the movie exists within the world of the second Right.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
So if they if they acknowledge that Diehard is a thing,
like it's a movie that the people of carry On
are aware of as opposed to like, yeah, if Diehard
actually exists as a film in that universe, I'm down
to that. Yeah. Let's talk about something else I'm down for,
which is season three of Invincible. That's a show that

(57:07):
remains very hard for me to watch, and yet I
keep watching it.

Speaker 1 (57:11):
Here's the thing, so I haven't watched the second half
of season two, yet it's good. I know. Thankfully. This
trailer I don't think ruined a whole lot.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
No, it's a very meta trailer.

Speaker 1 (57:23):
Yeah, and that's the thing. Both like the first see
the first trailer for season two and this trailer are
just delightful. Like tonally, they don't. The show does have
this tone in it, but it's more sporadic because the
show is also very very dark.

Speaker 2 (57:43):
Yeah, because people are getting getting the front of their
skull pushed into the back of their skull.

Speaker 1 (57:49):
Yeah. Yeah, but you know, I think I think that's
the thing about Invincible that makes it better than The
Boys is that there is that humanity in it, and
there is a connection and there are lighthearted moments that
you feel good laughing at that you don't feel disgusting
laughing at. Well.

Speaker 2 (58:06):
Yeah, because the heroes in Invincible are trying to be heroes.
They're not putting on the performance of being a hero
while just being a corporate product. That's what The Boys is, right,
Like the Boys, they aren't really heroes their position to
be heroes, but really they're corporate spokespeople. And then an
Invincible they're actually trying to protect people and save the day.

(58:30):
They're flawed, some of them are excessively flawed, but they
are trying to save people. Yeah. The teaser for Invincible
season three features just a discussion between two characters that
is not even thinly veiled. It is overtly about how
long it has taken to get to season three, and

(58:53):
making a promise that, unlike season two, it will not
be divided into two halves.

Speaker 1 (59:00):
Yeah. I think it comes out in January. The thing
that they do, like see, like they did with the
season two trailer, is they break the fourth wall m
h and reference real life and voice acting and stuff
like that. So and even shows Steven Yuan in a
part of it, which is adorable. Uh so, Uh did

(59:22):
I say his name right? Stephen ya? Stephen?

Speaker 2 (59:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (59:24):
Okay, okay. Uh, I was like, it's completely wrong, actor Ariel, No,
it's not. It looks really cute. I'm like, ah, season
three looks so cute. I'm gonna watch it and then
I'm gonna get done with season two and be like,
I don't know if I can watch it.

Speaker 2 (59:38):
No, You're gonna get done with season two and be like,
oh my gosh, I gotta get season Three's got to
get here soon because I need to see how this
gets resolved.

Speaker 1 (59:47):
Okay, that's good to know.

Speaker 2 (59:49):
Yeah, it's I mean, it's there's I'm not gonna sugarcoat it.
There's some rough watches ahead of you, but it's uh
it's a good it's a good series. Like I I
do think I prefer to The Boys. I've watched both,
and I've even watched gen V of the Boys. I
didn't think I was going to and then I did.
I'm glad I did, because otherwise the last season of

(01:00:09):
the Boys wouldn't have made as much sense to me.
But yeah, I think Invincible is better for me. I'm
not gonna say it's a better show, but for me,
it's better.

Speaker 1 (01:00:21):
Yeah. So it does get very dark and it does
get very gruesome. It is easier for me to handle
in a cartoon format too.

Speaker 2 (01:00:29):
Also true, Yeah, where you're not seeing real people getting
like debas or whatever. Well, if you want your superhero
action to go truly bonkers, you can watch the trailer
for Batman Ninja Versus Yakuza League. Because I did, and

(01:00:50):
I don't fully understand what I saw.

Speaker 1 (01:00:53):
Well, Batman's a ninja and the Yukuza are the good
guys who bring order.

Speaker 2 (01:00:58):
Well that's how they see it. Yes, yes, thecusare I
mean it's organized crime. Yes, organized crime does bring order.

Speaker 1 (01:01:07):
Yes, yeah, it seems like the Jukuza thinks is they're
the good guys, which to be fair makes for a
really good villain.

Speaker 2 (01:01:15):
Yeah, if your villain is just like I'm bad, that's
not very interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:01:21):
Yeah. I was about to say, like Agatha Harkness, but
I don't want to get lynched by all of our
listeners and friends.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
Agatha Harkness is though, she is like very much the
cackling bad guy like she lives. She plays up to that, like,
you get the feeling that she does have certain regrets,
but not so much that they are enough to make
her change in any significant way, like she's Yeah, she

(01:01:47):
just continuously goes back to being bad. Like it makes
me think of the story about the scorpion and the frog, right,
the scorpion stings the frogs like, well it's in my name,
I'm like, well, and the way Agatha is presented, she's
just by nature evil and her her own ken have

(01:02:08):
said that. So yeah anyway, which.

Speaker 1 (01:02:11):
Which could make it sad, And certainly some of her
attitude could be trauma based, but.

Speaker 2 (01:02:16):
Yeah, not very not very nuanced. I mean, Catherine Hawn
phenomenal and performing it, but not a very nuanced character.
Her performance is fantastic, but yeah, Batman Ninja Versus Yakuza
League gets animated it's like in an anime style. It's
in Japanese. It's subtitled. At least the version we saw
was subtitled. There might be a dub out there too,

(01:02:38):
but it involved interesting anime takes on characters too, like
the Flash's anime version was really interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:02:48):
Yeah. Yeah, it looks beautiful.

Speaker 2 (01:02:51):
It does not entirely sure what's going on based on
the trailer, apart from apparently Japan descending upon Gotham and
Japan Point is almost entirely populated by yakuza. So that's
a thing.

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
When does it come out? It comes out in twenty
twenty five. That's a shame. I have a friend who's
visiting in November, who, uh, whenever they are here, they
we watch some DC animated something and I was hoping
this would be it, but it doesn't come out till
twenty twenty five.

Speaker 2 (01:03:22):
Yeah, it looks it looks really interesting. Uh, and I'm
sure that you know, as a full story it makes sense.
It's just like the trailer, it's hard to kind of
piece together what is supposed to be happening. It's just
but it is a lot of cool visuals.

Speaker 1 (01:03:39):
Yeah, speaking of cool visuals and really interesting, this trailer
for The Fix. Thank you for adding it, because.

Speaker 2 (01:03:47):
I was worried because I thought you might find it
too icky.

Speaker 1 (01:03:51):
So there is like there is some were wolf esque
body horror in it. Yeah, but that's it feels, at
least the trailer. That's a more minimal part of it.
It is a story about humanity is living in a
world where the air is not breatheable. There's a toxin,
and they come out with a drug to make the

(01:04:14):
air breathable to people. But of course that's a sale thing.
I think maybe I misunderstood the trailer, but some people
try to basically recreate the drug on a more free
basis and it mutates the person who takes it.

Speaker 2 (01:04:28):
The sense I got is that you have this big
company and it's a pharmaceutical company, and they have started
to replicate a drug. They don't have the full formula
to make it safely, but they're marketing it like crazy.
It's kind of coming across a bit like let's make

(01:04:50):
something that everyone has to have because of the way
the world is. So instead of fixing the world, we're
just creating a way to treat symptoms essentially, and that
we can become filthy rich through this, and the main
character at one point was the spokeswoman for this drug.

(01:05:11):
She was hired because she's a model. She was hired
to do the advertising for it, and then ends up
being injected with the stuff and it makes her mutate
and have spiky bits that let her do things like
cling to walls and ceilings and stuff, and she looks freaky.

Speaker 1 (01:05:31):
And it might also give her like gills or something.

Speaker 2 (01:05:35):
Yeah, or certainly lets her do things like jump further
and like she has. It was also given me kind
of vibes of like Species, the movie Species, so like
it's it's interesting. There's one point where she's wearing, you know,
one of the face masks that everyone has to wear
in order to breathe, where I was like, this looks

(01:05:55):
like that looks like it's a Morton Joe's Yes, Yes,
ask for from Fury Road.

Speaker 1 (01:06:02):
Yeah, I think. I think at that point, her character,
again just based off of watching the trailer, had already
mutated and was trying to fit in. Probably didn't actually
need the mask anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:06:13):
Yeah, it looks interesting, like this looks like it looks
like a science fiction film that's not like every other
science fiction film. Trailer I've seen in the last couple
of years. So I'm excited about this because it does
look like a an original idea, which is kind of cool.

Speaker 1 (01:06:31):
Yeah. I guess something we should mention is that it
looks like the the issue in the movie, like the
problem that occurs is not necessarily because she mutates, but
because then the pharmaceutical company wants to basically use her
to to figure out how to make this pharmaceutical better,

(01:06:53):
and so they want to basically like use her as
a labrat or drain her for enzymes or something like that.

Speaker 2 (01:06:59):
Yeah. Yeah, they use the term harvest. Harvest, So yeah,
looks it looks good. Like Yeah, I'm hoping that it
lives up to the trailer because it would be cool
to have a new take, kind of sci fi horror

(01:07:19):
take that isn't part of another franchise. That would be nice.

Speaker 1 (01:07:23):
I agree, I agree. I do think it'll be a
little scary, but I think it'll be a handible, handleable
scary for me.

Speaker 2 (01:07:31):
However, what about our next one?

Speaker 1 (01:07:33):
Probably not?

Speaker 2 (01:07:35):
Oh, this one looks like this one looks like it
has some real dark humor in it too.

Speaker 1 (01:07:40):
Yes, so we're talking about Stephen King made a short
story called The Monkey. I think it's probably one of
his nearer ones because my husband, who read a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:07:48):
That's very old. It's in Skeleton Crew, which is from
the nineteen eighty. It was actually originally written in nineteen eighty.

Speaker 1 (01:07:56):
Okay, interesting. I had asked my husband if he had
read it, and albeit he hasn't read all Stephen King,
but he was a big fan for a while and
he not familiar with this one.

Speaker 2 (01:08:04):
Yeah, it's part of his Skeleton Crew collection. Like it
was originally published in a magazine, but it got republished
in his anthology Skeleton Crew, because this was one that
I had read when I was a kid. And I
will say that the trailer for the Monkey goes well
beyond what the story does. So in the story, it's

(01:08:29):
about a guy who, when he was younger, found a
wind up monkey toy in his uncle's attic and the
toy is cursed and when it clashes its symbols together.
Whenever that happens, someone close to the main character dies.

(01:08:49):
And it doesn't matter what you try and do, Like
if you try and block the monkey's symbols or whatever,
at some point you'll hear the little clattering and it
means someone you know has died, and so that's kind
of how the story unfolds. But it's fairly well contained,
like it's all the people who are part of his
life that he's concerned about, including himself, and the trailer

(01:09:14):
makes it look almost more like a Final Destination.

Speaker 1 (01:09:17):
Movie, Yeah, but funnier it So. Yeah, they say that,
you know, if you have the Monkey, the deaths that
you cause will be super gruesome, and it certainly looks
that way. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:09:32):
Yeah, they are over the top and incredibly blooding, so that.

Speaker 1 (01:09:36):
Means it's probably won't be for me. But it has
a flippin amazing cast. Freaking It's got Elijah Wood, it's
got who was Froto, It's got Tatiana Maslani who was
Orphan Black and also she Hulk. It's got Theo James
from I know, mainly from Divergent, but he's not a

(01:09:57):
bunch of like Witcher and X Men voice acting. And
it's got Christian Convrey who played Sweet Tooth in the
Netflix series Sweet Tooth as one of the kids.

Speaker 2 (01:10:08):
Yeah, it's the trailer looks like it was well made.
It's weird because I'm not sure if the movie actually
has that much of a dark sense of humor running
through it, or if this is one of those things
where it's cherry picked specifically for the trailer because I
couldn't really get my finger on the pulse of what
the tone of the movie is. But I'm definitely interested

(01:10:32):
because in some ways I think this is the way
an adaptation should be made. Like the adaptation has taken
inspiration from the source material, but it's not trying to
slavishly recreate the source material, because why would you, And
I kind of I kind of admire that like it.

(01:10:53):
You can go one of two ways. You use it
as inspiration, you make something that's equally interesting but different,
or you try to be as as loyal to the
source material as possible to do a fitting adaptation. On
the one hand, if it's Stephen King, I like the
first version. If it's Tolkien, I like the second one.

Speaker 1 (01:11:13):
Gotcha, gotcha? You know what? It sounds like you're more
optimistic for this than you were for Night Swim, So
that's good.

Speaker 2 (01:11:20):
I'm more optimistic for this than I am for were Wolves.
I'll say that.

Speaker 1 (01:11:24):
Oh yeah, this. Honestly, I thought it was a second
trailer for Family Pack, which is the Netflix movie that's
coming out or TV series I don't remember, based on
the game were Wolf.

Speaker 2 (01:11:36):
Yeah, the one that's in French.

Speaker 1 (01:11:38):
The one that's in French that comes out later this month.
But it is not. It is a very b movie.
Like it's it looks like the kind of movie i'd
watch on bad movie night.

Speaker 2 (01:11:48):
Yeah, totally. Well, let me pay you to you this way.
I laughed out loud when this trailer starts, because there's
a little text card at the beginning that said, last year,
a supermoon of it turned billions of people into were wolves,
and that's I lost. And I read that and I
was like, oh my gosh, this is gonna be an

(01:12:08):
amazing horror comedy. And then as the rest of the
trailer plays out, like, oh no, they're sincere. This is
not meant to be a comedy at all.

Speaker 1 (01:12:18):
No, which is which is why I included it. Because
if you're looking for something really you know, I don't
know if it comes out in time for Halloween, but
if you're looking for something really cheesy to watch, this
looks like it might be it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:31):
Yeah, it may. I'll tell you the kind of movies
that it made me think of, not that it deals
with the same stuff. But okay, so some of it
is like The Purge because it's about a time where
the Supermoon's gonna happen, and it means that any human
exposed to moonlight is going to turn into a were wolf.
I don't understand why they have a whole thing where

(01:12:52):
they're going to try and restrain some people and volunteerarily
have them turned into were wolves. That makes no sense
to me.

Speaker 1 (01:13:01):
But you know, it does make sense. What's that Frank Grillo,
the main actor was in The Purge.

Speaker 2 (01:13:07):
Yeah, okay, so here's the connection. But the movies that
it makes me think of the most, honestly, from that
stupid supermoon thing where I just started laughing are twenty
twelve and The Day After Tomorrow, because those are both
like patently ridiculous movies, but they take themselves very seriously
and it never once felt like they were meant to

(01:13:30):
be taken as a joke. But I can't imagine watching
them in any other context. And that's kind of how
I feel about this one.

Speaker 1 (01:13:39):
Yeah, I agree. The other thing I was kind of
hoping that it would be would be the three quel
to Wolf Cop and Wolf Cop two, but it's not
I'm not recommending Wolf Copper Wolf Cop two.

Speaker 2 (01:13:52):
It's at least now gross. But they're not good.

Speaker 1 (01:13:56):
They're not good.

Speaker 2 (01:13:57):
The transformation sequences, at least early on, looked interesting to me,
Like I like a really good gnarly transformation scene. American
Werewolf in London to me still holds top honors for
that really gnarly stuff. But the werewolf design I didn't
like at all.

Speaker 1 (01:14:18):
No, No, it looked, it looked pretty. The werewolf almost
looks like a giant version of Templeton, the rat from
Charlotte's Web.

Speaker 2 (01:14:26):
Yeah. Yeah, you could just hear Paul Lynde singing about garbage,
which I don't. I'm not gonna say Werewolves is garbage,
but I'm not not going to say it.

Speaker 1 (01:14:38):
But if they sing that song, it'll be a better movie.

Speaker 2 (01:14:41):
I mean, that would that would save it for me.
We also got a trailer for yet another Nick Frost movie,
Nick Frost. Like Nick Frost and Willem Dafoe, they've just
been in everything, everything, like they must. They must have
a freak out if there's a d when they wake
up and they don't have to be on a set somewhere.

Speaker 1 (01:15:03):
I mean that's most actors. Yeah, it's just most actors
have a freak out every day.

Speaker 2 (01:15:10):
That's fair. That's fair. I don't live in that world, so.

Speaker 1 (01:15:14):
I can't actually say that. Most actors try to get
to a healthy place where they're okay if they aren't
on set.

Speaker 2 (01:15:20):
Yeah. Well, well, Nick Frost is, among all the other
things he's in this year, is in another horror movie
called Black Cab, and it looks to me like he's
playing a secondary antagonist, or maybe he's the primary antagonist,
but he's there's more than one in this movie where

(01:15:44):
it starts off looking like one kind of horror movie,
kind of like more like a psychological thriller slash stalker
kind of movie, but then turns into supernatural horror movie.
So that's interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:15:57):
It is it feels like with each passing creepy scary
movie that he's getting trailers for, which is all of them.
He must have been on a three day rotation to
make qual of these movies that are coming out at
the same time, like being in repertory theater.

Speaker 2 (01:16:14):
Although like some of the other ones, it's done as
like a super twisted almost like a horror comedy, this
one does not have any comedy elements evident in the trailer.

Speaker 1 (01:16:29):
That's what I was getting to. He's trying to quickly
tiptoe his way into just pure.

Speaker 2 (01:16:34):
Horror, which I'm cool with. Like he comes across very
unsettling in the trailer here. So, the trailer shows a
young woman who's with a group of friends and her
boyfriend announces that the two of them are getting married,
and she looks she doesn't look thrilled about that information.

(01:16:56):
I don't know if that was news to her or not,
but she doesn't seem like she's into it. And then
at the end of the night, she's getting in the
cab with her boyfriend slash fiance, and the cab is
kind of weird because the back windows are super tinted.
They get locked into the cab. Their cab driver is
Nick Frost, who appears to know at least some very

(01:17:20):
important information about the young woman that her fiance doesn't know.
And then as as this bit goes, like, I was
just like, oh, this is gonna be like some sort
of cat and mouse killer but all inside a cab thing.
But then there's an introduction of an element of a ghost,
and like the ghost is apparent, like apparently Nick Frost's

(01:17:41):
character is doing something to appease a ghost, and oh
this went in a direction I did not expect.

Speaker 1 (01:17:47):
Yeah, yeah, it looks interesting. It actually looks too scary
for me. More than likely. It vaguely reminded me of
Nicholas Cage's sympathy for the Devil movie that we saw
a trailer for.

Speaker 2 (01:17:58):
The one where he's the one where he's being driven around.

Speaker 1 (01:18:02):
Yeah, and he's yeah, and he's maybe the devil.

Speaker 2 (01:18:04):
Yeah. Yeah, interesting because this one flips it around, of course,
where the antagonist is the one doing the driving. Yeah,
I would watch this. This looks interesting to me. I
don't know that it would be. It might be one
of those things where as the twist happens with the ghost.
First of all, I'm wondering if there's a twist, because
if it is, this is a terrible trailer, yeah, because

(01:18:27):
it does reveal that information. But I'm hoping that it's
a movie that can maintain its intensity and interest all
the way through and not just be like a thing
where I wish the film had been a different kind
of movie, right, Like, That's how I feel about The Descent.
The Descent I think is really two great horror movies,

(01:18:51):
with the first half being one type of horror movie
which I actually preferred, and the second half being a
different kind of horror movie that I still like, but
I wish should have been the first one all the
way through.

Speaker 1 (01:19:03):
Gotcha. I haven't watched it, so I don't know it
either of those two movies are.

Speaker 2 (01:19:07):
I'll tell you after we record, just in case anyone
out there hasn't seen The Descent and they're curious. I
think it's one of those movies that's better to watch
without knowing anything about it. But yeah, the first half
of that movie was exceedingly effective on me, and then
the second half was entertaining, but it wasn't what I

(01:19:29):
was hoping for.

Speaker 1 (01:19:31):
Gotcha. Well, we're gonna We're doing pretty well. Like the
scary movies we've talked about this spoopy season have been
mostly handleable. Yeah, it hasn't been too depressing. A lot
of creature creature scary, which I appreciate.

Speaker 2 (01:19:45):
Yeah, not so much Terrifier three, which you know we
talked about briefly but I have no interest in.

Speaker 1 (01:19:52):
Yeah, but we are ending because Jonathan is very kind
and arranged the lineup on a happy for everybody but
me trailer. I tried, no, no, no, no, I wasn't
giving you any sort of crap. No, this is a
really Disney is coming out with a movie called An
Almost Christmas Story.

Speaker 2 (01:20:13):
Which is not about a leg lamp.

Speaker 1 (01:20:16):
No no, it's about a little owl who gets injured
and his dad, to keep him safe, says stay in
a tree. But then that tree gets cut down to
be the I guess a Christmas tree, maybe the Christmas
Tree and Rockefeller Center something like that. Yeah, something like that.
And he falls out and meets a young girl who
also is separated from her family in some former fashion,

(01:20:37):
and they go on an adventure together. And it looks
like it looks like it's stopped motion made out of
mixed media.

Speaker 2 (01:20:45):
Yeah, it's. It looks like a very kind of innovative
approach to animation sort of it. You'll not exactly like this,
but it reminds me of like the Spider Verse films,
right where the Spider Verse gets that kind of mixed
animation approach. Not that this is exactly like that, it's not,

(01:21:06):
but it's just kind of or that teenage mutant Ninja
Turtles movie right like, Yeah, it's and I love that
there are all these playful approaches to animation and it's
not all cookie cutter, especially considering that this is from Disney,
and Disney does have a very identifiable style that they
typically stick with. The fact that this is not that

(01:21:27):
style is kind of cool. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:21:29):
It looks like some of the characters are made out
of fabrics and are made out of wood. It's very
pretty and I'm sure it'll be a very happy ending.
Movie gives me like, are you my mother vibes?

Speaker 2 (01:21:40):
Yeah? Is it John c Riley? Who's the narrator in
that trailer? I want to say it.

Speaker 1 (01:21:45):
Is he's He's I think he's involved in it, so probably.

Speaker 2 (01:21:48):
Yeah. So like whenever I hear his voice, I was like,
is Reckett Ralph gonna show up?

Speaker 1 (01:21:55):
That? That would sell me on this movie. I love
right here Ralph? Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:22:00):
Whereas I hate, well, I don't hate. I have real,
like fundamental problems with the h with both Reckord Ralph movies.

Speaker 1 (01:22:09):
Actually I get I get it. I can't think about
the story too much. But I enjoyed the journey.

Speaker 2 (01:22:15):
Yeah, the journey is fun. Like all the all the
references and stuff, those are all fun. I just the
first film seems to suggest, Hey, you need to accept
what you are in life and never aspire to be
anything else because what you are, that's what you need
to be. And I'm like, I don't like that story.
And the second one is, hey, remember when I bet

(01:22:35):
over backwards to give you the world so that you
would be happy, and now you're not happy with what
you have That I'm upset with too.

Speaker 1 (01:22:44):
Yeah, I mean I kind of get the first one.
So like that is a that is a tricky line
because on the one hand, yes, you should aspire to
do good things in the world, right, but at the
same time, you also need to be okay, Like there
are many things that people struggle with about themselves that
they should be okay with.

Speaker 2 (01:23:04):
Sure, I just feel.

Speaker 1 (01:23:04):
Like maybe society has looked down on but is not
actually a thing to be looked down.

Speaker 2 (01:23:08):
But the problem is that he never chose to be
a bad guy. Yeah, bad guy was a label assigned
to him. And that's the problem I have, right, Yeah, Like,
if it's if it's something that you have no control
over to say, like, just accept it. Just accept that
this is who you have to be from now on
because that choice was made for you and you have

(01:23:31):
no voice in the matter. That's where I have the problem.

Speaker 1 (01:23:34):
So it's hitting you more of like being stuck in
a caste system and not self acceptance.

Speaker 2 (01:23:39):
Yeah, yeah, that's kind of it. Like it's kind of
like the idea of Hey, you were born into this class.
You can never escape it. That's your lot in life.
You had no choice in that matter. It doesn't matter
how good a job you do or what good deeds
you do for other people. This is where you're going
to be, so you should just accept that. So you

(01:24:01):
could be the best version of that to me, like that,
that's the kind of narrative that William Blake was warning
people against, saying this is this is the argument that
upper classes tell lower classes so that lower classes will
stay where they are, stay in their lane and not
threaten the status quo. I'm getting kind of deep here

(01:24:24):
about me. Well, dissection can reck it.

Speaker 1 (01:24:27):
Ralph, Well, you know what I think in almost Christmas Story,
very much will not be.

Speaker 2 (01:24:32):
That that very true, very true.

Speaker 1 (01:24:35):
Like I think it is about people striving to achieve
something better and hopefully finding it because it's almost a
Christmas story unless the almost makes it super.

Speaker 2 (01:24:44):
Dark, I don't think.

Speaker 1 (01:24:47):
I think like the family. I think all of the
where owls, the.

Speaker 2 (01:24:54):
Owl turns into the furry creature from the legend of
og and the cycle begins anew.

Speaker 1 (01:24:59):
But I I'll say, in this incredibly like quaint old
like cabiny feeling, I don't know why cat like yeah,
in this, in this cozy core almost Christmas movie, why
they ended it on the trailer on a p joke.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:25:18):
Yeah, I guess it's for the kids. You know, kids
find potty humor to be the peaks of comedy.

Speaker 1 (01:25:25):
But I'm like, but I'm like, put it in the
middle of the trailer so you can end on something.

Speaker 2 (01:25:29):
Like something uplifting or hopeful or inspiring or sweet.

Speaker 1 (01:25:34):
Yeah, yeah, instead of just peeing all over the rest
of the trailer at the end.

Speaker 2 (01:25:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:25:39):
Well, you know, I mean it was so fine.

Speaker 2 (01:25:42):
That's why we're not in marketing. I guess.

Speaker 1 (01:25:45):
I guess. So I used to be.

Speaker 2 (01:25:48):
Well, then you got better. I got better.

Speaker 1 (01:25:51):
I aspired to be something different and succeeded. Exception of
I still occasionally remember to Mark at this show. So
maybe there I got worse. Uh. That's that's it.

Speaker 2 (01:26:10):
That is it. That's our full lineup. Yeah, sure, I
held I.

Speaker 1 (01:26:14):
Held true to my word. I also have to pee,
but have not.

Speaker 2 (01:26:19):
Yes, that's true, she did not. We didn't have to pause.
But we we are going to have to wrap this up,
but you know we can't do that until Ariel sets
me up.

Speaker 1 (01:26:27):
Yeah, uh okay. First I'm gonna say, well, maybe I
should say this later. Should I say something about the
next weeks now, or.

Speaker 2 (01:26:35):
Let's say it now. We're gonna say it now. So
for the next two weeks we will not be recording
because I'm going out of town before next weekend, and
then Ariel has to go out of town the following weekend.
So for two weeks we're going to be uh in
communicado because we're just not going to be able to record.
We would record on a different night if possible, but
our schedules are such that it's just really hard to do.

(01:26:57):
So you know, we will be back in like the
second week of November, but we're gonna be gone. We
do hope that everyone out there has a phenomenal Halloween
to be safe and spooky.

Speaker 1 (01:27:14):
Yes, yes, for sure, And I will try to exception
of when I am traveling. If there's any super cool news,
put it into our discord channel for people to not
miss because I know there have been many times that
our listeners have shared stuff with us that I'm like, oh,
I didn't know about that, and vice versa. So that
was keep up on the news. Okay. So, Jonathan, if

(01:27:36):
in that two week span our listeners want to contact
us to tell us about something they thought about during
this episode or the super long episode, or something that
we won't get to talk about, how do they reach out?

Speaker 2 (01:27:49):
So you're gonna have to go and take like a
family friendly film, something that has a pretty substantial fan following.
Ye has a lot of good vibes around it. I'm
going to need you to deeply dissect that movie and
to really sift through it and find the cynical capitalist

(01:28:11):
heart that beats at the very center of that the
one that's giving out a message that perhaps it's not
even overt, maybe it's even subliminal, but ultimately is cow
tew to your corporate overlord's upeaws you are here to consume.
I'm going to need you to write a dissertation about

(01:28:33):
how this on the surface sweet and entertaining film is
really a treatise in order to maintain the status quo
and to keep the oppressed under the heel of the halves,
and the have nots will simply sup upon the entertainment

(01:28:57):
that has been created, and think this is in birational
as opposed to this is really kind of hammering home
the way the world has to work. Otherwise they might
realize that they in fact have the power and can
come together and topple the structures and then just defeat

(01:29:18):
the bourgeoisie and and and have everything in equality and
equal measure and no longer will this be an unfair system.
My friends, my my friends and neighbors, we can rise
up and we can take the means of production. And Okay,

(01:29:41):
I realize now that I'm asking our listeners to to
form a communist manifesto and invite me to it. Just
just if you see me, just ask and I'll tell
you yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:29:57):
And if you can't even pronounce bourgeoisie. You can reach
