Speaker 1 (00:10):
Hey, everybody, Welcome to the Large nor John Collier 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 Aeriel Caston and with me, as always
is the delightful, wonderful John.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Ofv Instrument boom ah. Yeah. Whether that was condemnation or
I'm a scary ghost is up for you to decide.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Six. I mean I would respond the same way either way.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
So yeah, yeah, like, our delicate egos are such that
if the people we love were to boo us, it
would have devastating effects.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Yes, yes, I'm working on that, but uh I am not.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
All right, Well, welcome back, y'all. We are excited to
do another episode. Since our last episode, there was a
massive comic book convention, New York Comic Con, and we'll
talk a little bit about that today. Some of the
trailers that we'll talk about came out of New York

(01:14):
Comic Con. But unlike San Diego Comic Con, New York
Comic Con is more focused on comic books, I think.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah, yeah, for sure, although some of the comic book
news was pretty weird.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah, I only jotted down a few like highlights that
I wanted to bring out, because if you really want
to learn about what was talked about at the convention,
you should definitely go online and pull up some news
stories because they covered a lot. I mean, there was
a ton of like discussions and panels and things, way
too much for us to get into. But that's that's

(01:50):
putting the cart way before the horse. We usually like
to start our episodes off these days with a question.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yeah, and so I've got a question, and I'm going
to be fully transparent. I wrote this question down and
then forgot to think about it, so you get to
answer first. Obviously I'm asking it, but I will try
to come up with an answer afterwards. What is the
most overrated fall activity and or the most underrated fall activity?

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Well, clearly, the most overrated fall activity, which nobody likes,
is apple picking. Everyone hates apple I am kidding. I
said that specifically the lined up.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Aerial because I just went apple bicking.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
I had a feeling like that's like that might be
her favorite fall activity, so I just had to No.
I think for me, the most overrated fall activity would
be hay rides. I just don't get them. Most of
the time you're in a wagon filled with hay bails

(02:52):
just going through a farm somewhere, and it's not even
necessarily picturesque, like you're just being dragged behind a track.
And listen, if I want to be dragged behind a tractor,
I just go back up to where my grandparents had
a house. I could like just throw a rock in
any given direction and find a tractor to be dragged behind.

(03:12):
So that, to me is an overrated activity, underrated, although
I argue this is probably not underrated, but it's one
that I really enjoy. Corn mazes not as frequently found
down here in Georgia as in other parts of the country,
but we do have a few, and I've only ever

(03:33):
been to one, but I had a really good time
going through it. Like I was there with my partner
Becca and friend of the show shay Lee, and this
was years ago, and we had a good time getting
lost and eventually finding our way out of a corn maze,
and then we followed that up with a very disappointing
ride on a hay ride.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah, I think I've been to like one or two
corn mazes. Do you like the spooky ones or do
you like the ones that are just a lovely maze
that you walk through.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
This was, as I recall. Now keep in mind that,
like I said, it was years ago, but as I recall,
this one was largely just a maze. I think they
might have had a couple of like Halloween tableau set up,
but it was more in the playful, family friendly approach
as opposed to the grizzly and gory approach. And I
like that. I just like, you know, the fun of

(04:32):
the novelty of walking through a corn maze or as
you know, Native Americans might call it a maze maze.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Wow. Yeah, yeah, I did walk through When I went
apple picking, I did walk through an apple tree maze.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Seems like that would be less thick.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
It was like, I mean, these were these apple trees
are kind of low to the ground because people pick them,
so it was it was okay. I mean, it wasn't
a very difficult maze. You could see out through it,
but yeah, it was still delightful. Uh. I Yeah. I
love apple picking, and part of that is because I
love baking, right, so to get some fresh apples and

(05:15):
then put them into your food. I don't do everything
from scratch, like I don't mill my own flour or
anything like that. I do know people who do, uh,
but you know it. It makes me feel a little
bit more legit if I pick out the apples. Like,
if I pick the apples, it's fun. It's a nice
day outdoors. And when I went apple picking, I got
to pet the softest, most perfect, most beautiful little cow ever.

(05:38):
Oh it was. It was light brown like it looked
like the bord and cow like.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
That's cute.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Well, yeah, she was sweet.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
What would you consider an overrated seasonal activity?

Speaker 1 (05:50):
I'm afraid to tell you because you're gonna be mad
at me.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Is it going to be corn maz.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
No, it's gonna be haunted houses.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
I'm not mad at you. I've never been through all
haunted house ever. Really, yea, you've.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
Never give it to like Netherworld. Nether World is a
big They usually have like two or three hanted houses
at a time, where they did in Georgia when they
were along the Highway. They've moved to Stone Mountain and
have a permanent space, so I haven't been there since then.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah. They are mostly known for having kind of like
the high production values where they've got like film quality
effects and costumes in makeup, at least for some of
the parts of the haunted house. And I once did
an episode of tech Stuff where we talked about the
technology used in haunted house attractions like nether World, and

(06:40):
that was kind of fun, but even then I didn't
get to go, So I have never done a haunted house.
Like the closest is the Haunted Mansion at disney World,
which is obviously a totally different kind of thing. But yeah,
I guess maybe the other closest is maybe the London Dungeon,
which is a tourist trap in London on the south

(07:02):
side of the Thames. There was a stretch where there
were a couple of scare actors, but largely that was
more of a like wax figure, let's represent the different
horrible eras of London's brutal past kind of thing. So
that's as close as I can get.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
And to be fair, like I have enjoyed some haunted houses,
I just get scared very easily. But like, if they're fantastical,
if they deal with like mythological creatures, it's a lot
better to me.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Than like psychopaths with chainsaws.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yeah, yeah, And part of the reason I think, I mean,
they're effective.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Right.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Part of the reason I think that haunted houses are
overrated to me is because my first experience with them
was going to ones where my friends worked and they
would pick on me and it got extra scary. I'm
sure I've talked about that before. But then you know,
you kind of you flip the script to be able
to handle it, so you start trying to look for
the scare actors and then me because I overthink things

(08:10):
and like, oh, I want to perceive these actors before
they perceive me, so I'm prepared. But also I don't
want them to feel like they're doing a bad job,
so I still want to like support their work because
it's hard for a scare actor too. I know somebody
who got punched in the face and had to have
a tooth ree inserted into their head because some people
have a fight instead of a flight reaction. So I mean,

(08:34):
they can be fun. I certainly love that people love them,
but for me, they're just they don't quite hit the spot.
I will go for friends and with friends and have
a good time, but it's not like my and like
the ones that are like, We're so scary were the
scariest ever. I'm like absolutely not. I don't find enjoyment

(08:54):
in that.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah, again, like I've never done one, feel like I
would have anxiety issues. And in my case, I don't
think it's the scaracters that really bother me. It's the
not really being able to see very well. You know.
You know this, Ariel, because I remember like there was
a we were at some like Renaissance festival ish kind

(09:21):
of gathering where maybe your band was playing, but it
was like out in the woods somewhere. This was years
and years ago, like like fifteen years ago or something,
and I had to have you grab my hand to
lead me because it was like it was through a
little wooded area and I couldn't see because my my
low light vision is so bad, and so Ariel was

(09:43):
by seeing I bestie, like I could not make my
way through that without you, And and so I feel
like I would have a lot of anxiety because I
simply couldn't see where I was going, and to know, oh,
that someone's gonna jump out at me, and meanwhile I
can't even see if I'm like heading toward a wall

(10:04):
or something doesn't really appeal to me. And you also know,
like I get really uncomfortable when I'm in an indoor
space and there are lots of people around me, and
I can't easily make my way to an exit if
I need to, and I don't want to make a scene.
I don't want to be the person of, hey, I
need to get out, like I don't want to do that,
Like that's that's socially embarrassing too. But at the same time,

(10:29):
I get very uncomfortable if I've got people around me
in an indoor area and I cannot, at least in theory,
make my way toward an exit. The same reason why
I had issues with Dragon con over certain years, where
I would find myself in the middle of a massive
crowd that really wasn't moving anywhere, and I could not

(10:51):
make my way to an exit. I would start to
feel my anxiety levels rise to the point of, you know,
getting close to panic. Never quite hit that far, but
I like I was flirting with it. So those are
the different reasons why I don't really think haunted houses
are for me. I can appreciate the work that goes
into making one, especially one where it's really thought out

(11:15):
so that the scares escalate and build and are logical
right and not just like a mishmash of different horror tropes.
Like if it tells a story as you go through,
I think that's really cool. I love immersive storytelling. I
just don't think it's for me, simply because of my
own physical and mental limitations.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Yeah. That being said, I do get absolute delight out
of watching videos on social media of little kids walking
through scare attractions at things like not Sperry Farms or
Hollywood's like Universal Studios Nights of Horror, because they treat
the like the scare actors want the kids to have
a good time. Right, So there's this really like oftentimes

(12:02):
sweet kind of here's this kid being kind to this
big horrible creature in this big horrible creature just being
floored with the adorableness, and like that's just delightful and
kind of like a good lesson for life of like
don't judge a book by its.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
Cover, right, Yeah, I think that also hits on something
else that is a barrier for me to enjoy hunted
Houses is just the other people and how they react, because, like,
as someone who has been an actor in immersive storytelling before,
I want the actors to have a good experience too, right,
And so that means that people who are going are

(12:37):
reacting in a way that is fun, whether that is
they are startled and they make that known or that
they think it's you know, fun, But they're not making
fun of the scare actors. It's the people who feel like,
oh no, I'm too brave, and they're just being snarky

(12:58):
about it. I'm like, why the hell are you coming here?
Why are you spending your money to just come here
and be a jerk face to people, Like, if you
don't find it scary, why did you come? Yeah, couldn't
you spend your money doing something else? Because, like I
ultimately I want everyone to have a good time, and

(13:18):
I hate being in public situations where I see someone
kind of going out of their way to make sure
someone else has a bad time, Like that's just the
biggest bummer.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
I don't do that. Like I said, that's why it's
hard for me when I go and I'm like, okay,
to not be scared. I'm going to try to see
where everybody is before they see me and jump out.
But then also like I don't want them to feel
like so the amount of times that I've gone at
and then awkwardly smiled and waved at this monster who's
trying to scare me because I'm like, I don't know
what else to do. I saw you. I'm still this

(13:52):
is still awkward, But I want you to I want
to give back, right because you're spending this your n
screaming at people, losing your voice in this dark space working.
You know, not everybody in a haunted house works hard,
but a lot of people do. A lot of people
do it because they really love it and it's so
much fun for them, provided they don't get someone who
fights and punches them.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yeah. Yeah, that's that's the big, big version of the
extreme version of what I was talking about about people
having bad reactions. But yeah, well, so, yeah, I do
not disagree with your choice of haunted houses being overrated.
But that's also admittedly from a point of ignorance since
I haven't experienced one.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Yeah yeah, yeah, so I that was actually a better
conversation than I expected.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Well, then let us move on to talk about the
things what we have seen since last week's episode.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
Yeah, so I finished Peacemaker. I really enjoyed the end
of it. I felt like I can I can see
because you were talking about it in the previous episode,
how you thought, Like me, maybe some of the conclusions
were a bit rushed or unearned, and I can see that.
For me, I kind of felt like they built up
to it throughout the season, so I was okay with

(15:09):
how it ended. That's fair because most of the people
who ended up in the end scenario had either experienced
by the end, had either experienced trauma together or reconciliation
together prior to that point.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
Yeah, I think it was mostly it was Peacemaker himself
and his transformation from his lowest point to a reconciliation
that I felt maybe moved a little quickly. I was
just like, considering how low this character is, would that

(15:45):
moment be enough to pull him back? And who am
I to say no? Like, obviously, I'm not the person
who created the character. I didn't write this or anything
like that. It just I don't know. Maybe I was
hoping for too much, and I honestly couldn't tell you
what it would have taken to make it a believable moment,
because just because of how deep down a hole Peacemaker

(16:08):
was toward the end of season two.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
I can understand that. I do wonder if they abbreviated
that because it, you know, for finale, it may not
be that fun to watch. But also then why but
why put it in the finale? You know? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (16:23):
I narratively, I do think it makes sense. And again
I don't know what I would have done differently, Like,
I don't have an alternative I would suggest, So it's
not like I've got a better idea. I just get
real picky about character stuff. And honestly, like you could

(16:43):
even argue, ultimately it's a comic book thing. It's okay
for things to not be quite as grounded, and there's
a solid argument for that, Like everything in that show
was pretty darn good. I thought, so, yeah, it's really
picking at knits.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
Yeah, the very very end upset me. But you know,
I'm a I don't I don't want to spoil it
because I'm sure there are people who listen, who do
watch and haven't finished it. I don't know. I didn't like.
I don't know. I just it made me sad.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
I liked the way they ended it until I saw
there were no plans for a season.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Yes, fair enough, Yes, that is exactly that it is, like,
and I know you don't relate to this, johnthan it's
like when they finished Far Escape in a way where
they thought they were gonna have another season, and then
that next season got canceled and so it was like
the worst most upsetting cliffhanger ever that just was there
for four years until they or however long until they
were able to make a movie to finish it out.
But yeah, I want some They ended it in a

(17:54):
way that you'd be like, surely there has to be
another season, So I do hope we get some resolution
in the field.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Well, the way the series ends, uh sets up something
that's supposed to be a major plot point in the
DCU overall in the future. So again, without giving any
more spoilers, I don't want to talk in more detail
about that, but the implication and Gun has said like

(18:23):
Peacemaker is a really important part of his vision of
the DCU, which is so funny because talk about a
talk about a character who had no real impact in
mainstream consciousness prior to the Suicide Squad and certainly you
know and before like the Peacemaker series, and now for

(18:44):
that to be a crucial character in the DCU, it's
pretty funny. But what else have you seen besides Peacemaker?

Speaker 1 (18:52):
I can't understand him being a crucial figure because it's
something that people can kind of relate to nowadays. But
I also watch my group watch has moved to Venture Brothers,
which has never been my favorite.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
I like Venture Brothers, but I I dropped off, well,
and that's all of us dropped off, which is why
we're like, oh, we should rewatch and pick it back up.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
Some of it is a little crass for me, and
some of it doesn't hold up well. Some of it
is very funny, but it is interesting because one of
the people in my group watch has never seen it,
and so it's been interesting to watch them watch it.
I'm continuing to watch task Master. I've started series five,

(19:41):
so only four more left to go. And then the
specials I started watching is it Cake Halloween, which I
don't know the first episode, at least the cakes were
a little easier to spot than normal. It's I don't
think it's the talent of any of the cake makers.
I just think it's the condensed time and and pressure
in which they're doing it. And then I saw improvised

(20:03):
Shakespeare on Monday Night, which I am still recovering from
because it's been a busy busy week and I'm exhausted,
but I left so hard I legit gave myself a headache?

Speaker 2 (20:15):
Did your So I also saw Improvise Shakespeare. I saw
it twice, and we didn't see the same shows at all. Right,
so we collectively we've seen three separate Improvise Shakespeare shows.
And of course the gimmick, as the name suggests, is
that this team of very talented improvisers creates on the
spot a new Shakespearean play based off a title suggestion

(20:41):
from the audience. And so the title suggestions we got.
The two I got when I saw it were why
does this taste like chocolate? And then the second one
was Nike will why does it taste so good? Two
totally different people suggesting. Yes. I was upset when that happened,
because I was like, could we have gotten some other

(21:03):
suggestion that didn't involve taste? But no, and it wasn't
from someone who was at the previous show. So yours, though,
was a different one.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Right, Yeah, we got just the word honeybee.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
So did your show? Would you? Do you feel like
it was built upon the basic structure of any existing
Shakespearean play or was it more just in the style.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
My group came to the consensus that it was probably
based off of the historical structure, the historical play structure.
So maybe Jonathan and I have talked about this a
little bit already, and he mentioned a line in winter.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
And that might be Nope, I mentioned the Winter's Tail.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
The Winter's Tail line, winter Disease, and even Shakespeare ariel,
get your head in the game. I told you, guys,
I'm really tired. Yeah, a Winter's Tail, So yeah, kinda,
there was. It started with murder, and then there was murder,
and then there was a wedding. Yeah, it was very funny.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
So plays like The Winter's Tail have elements of both
tragedy and comedy in them. The Tempest is another one,
but yeah, usually you end either with a wedding or
with everyone being murdered.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
The ones that are combined are rare because they were
late in Shakespeare's career.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
But it was also a war between England and France,
and England where the bees and France were the butterflies,
and then there were also moths and lightning bugs.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
So yeah, in ours, So why does this taste like chocolate?
Was clearly built on the foundation of Romeo and Juliet
had a lot of Romeo and Juliet parallels, and then
Niquill Why Does It Taste So Good? Was clearly influenced
and inspired by Midsummer Night's Dream complete with fairies, So

(23:07):
we saw two very different although I will say it
was Midsummer Night's Dream if it were a tragedy because
everybody died just about I did notice a couple of
things where I'm like, oh, this is interesting. I'm wondering
if this is a regular kind of beat that they
like to incorporate into the show, because both of the

(23:30):
shows I saw had it, which was that at some
point someone mentions an off stage character, someone who has
not yet been introduced, but gives this character a fearsome
reputation of some sort or another, and then ultimately that
character does show up and is usually an agent of chaos.

(23:50):
So in our first show that character was Deborah, and
in the second show the character was the Duke of Bears.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
I don't think I don't recall us having that. We
definitely had an agent of chaos or two, but I
think they might have introduced themselves, gotcha.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
Yeah, it was just one of those things where I
was like, as soon as I heard someone offhandedly mention
a Duke of Bears and they're saying it as if
it's not a real thing, Like it's not as if
there's a Duke of Bears or anything. I turned to
Becca and I said, I bet you anything, the Duke
of Bears is going to show up later and be
this play's version of Debra.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
Now, did you have a chorus or a song in
either of your plays?

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yes, there were songs in both of them, and also
a prologue that one of the actors steps forward to
serve as the prologue for the play.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
Yeah, we got a prologue, we got a song. And
I think I recalled from when I saw them on
drop Out, because this is the I believe it's the
touring troupe, which I believe is more LA, more of.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
The LA troops Chicago.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
I believe is it Chicago, because like Bryant is LA.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
I thought for sure, pretty sure at Chicago. I think
that they were out in LA to do things with
drop Out, but.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
They have an LA troop. I looked this up.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Ah, well, maybe it's a combination then, because I remember
them mentioning Chicago while we were there, so it may
have been that there are members of different groups that
were working together.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
But you know, so a bunch of my friends love
Dropout and they love Ross Barrant because he does a
bunch of stuff and he didn't play a bigger role.
And maybe this is because I was just like, oh,
I like, I've seen this other person's other work. There
are a couple of times where I could tell like
he was getting ready to make an offer and then
somebody else stepped on it, and from like an improv viewer,

(25:41):
from a person who's done improblem like no notice him.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
So, but that happens in one instance. I'll just give
this quick story just because it was funny. They had
the element of the love Spell from Midsummer Night's Dream
and it was cast upon a character that Ross was playing,
and they set it up so that it's going to

(26:07):
be the Duke of Bears that he's going to see first. Thus,
this character is going to fall in love with the
Duke of Bears out in the woods. So one of
the other actors took on the physicality of a very
awkward bear and started walking toward him, and he sees him,
but then another of the actors jumps down and murders

(26:27):
the first one and reveals himself to be the Duke
of Bears, and Ross is like, I see where you're going,
and I appreciate what you've planned, but technically I saw
him first, and so for the rest of the scene
he's just lamenting and grieving over a dead bear.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
That's amazing, now, I mean, like that's improv right. Sometimes
you're like, oh, I've got a great idea and somebody
else also has a great idea at the same time.
I just I think I notice it more now that
I've done improv.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
Yeah, but everybody is nominal, Like I would not be
able to tell you my favorite player in the group
we saw, because they were all freaking brilliant and hilarious.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
Yeah. So if you enjoy, you know, Shakespearean shows or
things that are in that vein, and you really enjoy
poking fun at them, if you get an opportunity to
see the Improvised Shakespeare Company, I think we can easily
say it's we both highly recommend it.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
Yeah. Yeah, I hope they come back for another tour
otherwise I will go see them in Chicago.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
But yeah, something outside I cannot highly recommend. Oh no
is Marvel Zombies. Uh, it's not bad. It's not like
it's badly done, but it is incredibly upsetting and there
are lots of unanswered questions. So by the end of
it you're like, I don't there's so much I don't understand.

(27:53):
Part of the problem, though, is that it is an
extension of an episode of What If. And it's been
long enough since I've seen that what If episode that
I couldn't remember what happened in it. So I was
a lot of the early parts of that series. I
was like, wait, how did that happen? Why is this
character like this? And so I need to go back

(28:16):
and watch that on If episode.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
But there's there's actually a couple of them.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Yeah I I and I have seen them. I just
don't remember them. But I don't like it is rough, y'all.
If you have particular attachments to certain characters in the
Marvel universe, you might want to think carefully before you
watch Marvel Zombies.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
I you know, I know you were looking forward to
it originally, or at least to seeing what they were
doing with it. I know my husband was as well.
Tony's read some of the Marvel Zombies' comments in the past,
and they do some. He's told me some of the
upsetting stuff that happens in the comments, like when zombie
Hulk eats people and then on hulks out. It's kind

(29:00):
of horrible. So, like, the premise is interesting because at
least in the I don't know if it's this way
in the in the show. So if this is a spoiler,
feel free to cut it out. I guess you guys
will know if it's not in here, like they eat
people's brains and get smarter when they do.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
Yeah, it's not really a thing in this one. Okay, No,
it has way more to do. I mean, this is
revealed very early on, so I don't feel too badly
about saying it. Plus, I think it's it's more it's
actually set up in the WAF episodes, but it's really
got more to do with the Scarlet Witch Wanda. It's

(29:40):
that that's really what this all hinges on. And also
in the series, it also hinges on Kamala Khan. And
one of the things I found unsatisfying about the series
is that, as far as I can tell, they never
really explain why Kamala khn that's important, like beyond just

(30:03):
her being, you know, a plucky hero they don't like.
I just don't get it. So I don't know if
I missed something or if they just haven't revealed it yet.
And maybe that'll come in another season, if they ever
make another one. I don't know. I found it more
disappointing overall than entertaining. I don't think it's bad. I

(30:28):
just personally did not vibe with it.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Gotcha, Well, that is we watched a lot of stuff
this week.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
Yeah, so now let's talk about a lot of stuff.
Let's zoom through these thirty seconds or less story, shall we?

Speaker 1 (30:45):
Su sure?

Speaker 2 (30:46):
Okay? Nearly thirty years ago, a little company called TiVo
popularized the product known as the Digital Video Recorder, which
is a lot like a VCRX, uses zeros and ones
instead of cassette tapes. Now, Tvo has announced it is
no longer manufacturing hardware. It has sold out of the
remaining inventory, though it will continue to offer support for

(31:06):
existing products. The company will focus more on partnerships with
smart TV manufacturers moving forward.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
Apple Plus, speaking of smart TVs, Apple makes them just
a bad segue. Apple Plus is getting a minor re brand.
They're dropping the plus and just doing Apple TV. I
don't really see the point, but if it makes.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
Them happy, great Sony is going back to Jumanji, specifically
the video game version of Jumanji. The new film will
reunite stars like Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and
Karen Gillen, but also add Brittany O'Grady and Burne Gorman
to the film. We don't have any real details beyond
that at this point, other than the fact that The

(31:52):
Journey into This Dangerous Video Game World will release on
December eleventh, twenty twenty six.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
I am okay, I've liked the other Jimunji movies. Bridgid
in season four did their season announcement. It's just the
current Bridgerton child whose romance it is walking up some
steps while his potential love interest is walking down some steps. Honestly,

(32:19):
it kind of turns his story thus far a little
bit milk toasty. But if you're excited about it. The
new season of Bridgerton will come out in two parts
January twenty ninth and February twenty six.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
Recently, at New York Comic Con, actor Sigourney Weaver revealed
that she had read the first fifty pages or so
of a new Alien screenplay that would see her character
Ripley return to the franchise. She says she is entertaining
the thought of coming back if Disney cares enough to
pursue the project, and has said that the news story
is quote very much about the society that would incarcerate

(32:55):
someone who has tried to help mankind end quote interesting.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
A few years back, there was talk about a Magic
eight Ball TV show. Well, it looks like it is happening.
M Night. Shyamalan is directing, along with Brad Falchuk, who
worked on things like Glee and American Horror Story and

(33:22):
Scream Queens.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
How do you make an old Alexander Dumas story new again? Well,
how about some gender flipping. Audrey Flreau is going to
do that with the Countess of Monte Cristo, which reimagines
the classic tale of swashbuckling revenge by killing off the
original hero of Edmond Dante and tasking character Mercedes Herrera

(33:48):
with avenging his death. Oo La La.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
Jim Carrey is in talks to play George Jetson in
Or to take Yeah to take lead in the Jetson's
from Warner Brother Pictures. So I'm guessing that's George, it
could be another character. It's being directed by Colin Trevora,
who worked on Jurassic World, Domination and Dominion Non Domination

(34:14):
different movies, and right now they're talking to Joe Epstein
to write the screenplay. Other credits Joe has done is
something called Space Opera and an untitled artificial Intelligence Courtroom something,
so seems like he's all fit to write some sci fi.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
Tim Burton's ed Wood is a great film, and one
of the many entertaining and tragic components in that film
is Bella Legosi at the end of his life. Now,
the two screenwriters behind Edwood have a full Bella Legosi
biopic that would focus on his early career and his
rise to stardom. Atti end Way Productions has agreed to

(34:52):
develop the project. So here's hoping it goes all the
way and we see it further down the line.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
That would be very interesting. Jeremy Renner is lending his voice. Sorry,
I'm just reading this straight off the page to Star Dust,
Future Stars and Scars, which is an AI created film
by filmmaker Y Jao. They work together on documentary for
Disney called Chronicles of Disney. The filmmaker says that using

(35:23):
AI is a way to help add tools to artistic
vision and not to replace people. But when you replace
all your animators with AI, I get.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
A little prickly. Yeah, and all your writers with AI too.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
Yeah, I am not happy about that story. But then again,
no big surprise. Anyone listening to this, I think is
pretty aware of our stance on generative AI.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
Well, yuh no, that's fine, Okay, I didn't want to
cut you off. Sorry, let's move on to stuff. What
is isn't really a fit for our show, but we
leave it in here any way.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
Section Yeah, and the first is a trailer for a
film called Young Washington. I was about to say when
it comes out, but I don't want to steal your thunder, Jonathan. I.
If you asked me, do you want to watch a
movie about Young Washington, I'd tell you no. But then
when I look at the cast involved in it, I'm like,

(36:23):
that's quite the like talent in it.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
Yeah, you've got folks like Ben Kingsley, Andy Serkis, Mary
Louise Parker, Kelsey Grammer, William Franklin Miller is playing young
George Washington and then Will Joseph plays even younger George Washington. Yeah,
this is this looks like a like a revolution well

(36:49):
pre revolutionary war movie, because this is about his very
young career as a military officer, which would eventually lead
to him becoming a general in the Continental Army. And
the release date is fittingly enough, fourth of July twenty
twenty six.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Yeah, they're like, let's make it the biggest movie of
the month or week or whatever.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
Yeah. Yeah, but it's okay, like they'll they'll they'll release
on fourth of July twenty twenty six, and then George
Washington will teach them how to say goodbye. So it's
a Hamilton reference.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
It is, it is. See, my brain went to Marvel Zombies.
I was like, he's going to rise up from the
dead and attack.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
No, if he did, then Abraham Lincoln would have to
eventually take him out because he's you know, he's got
the the undead killer reputation with Abraham Lincoln vampire killer.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
Oh so, I say he normally does vampires, but I'm
sure he could take out a zombie.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
Or yeah, I mean, really zombie. What are zombies but
second rate vampires.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
With a bigger appetite. Okay, vampires are just zombies juice diets. No,
I'm kidding. I please nobody get mad at me for that.
We also got a trailer for the Artist, which might
belong in our regular stuff, but it's also got quite
the cast. It stars Mandy Patinkin, and it's a murder mystery.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
Yes, set in the Gilded Age, and it will incorporate
a few actual historical figures as part of the story.
This reminds me of the I can't remember what the
title of it was, but remember we were talking about
the murder Mystery with all the different painters, the surrealist painters. Yes, yes,
this reminds me a little bit of that. I'm like, oh,

(38:40):
I'm wondering if we're just gonna go through like a
phase of these kinds of things. But yeah, like Hank
Azaria is playing Thomas Edison, but other historical figures include
like Edgar Degas and Evelyn Nesbitt. Patty Lapone is in
this and at least in the trailer, she is at
her signare Caddy Patty looponessus, She's extremely Caddy in the trailer.

(39:07):
So it looks interesting, it looks quirky, It also looks
like it probably has taken some inspiration from the Knives
Out series in the sense of, you know that kind
of sense of humor where it's like a sharp tongued
sense of humor. The basic premise is a bunch of

(39:27):
people are at the estate of quote, an eccentric tycoon
who promptly dies end quote, and that would be the
inciting incident of the mystery. It's gonna come out in
two batches. The first three episodes well premiere on November

(39:48):
twenty seventh, and the second three will come out on Christmas,
and those will stream on the service called The Network,
which somehow I didn't know was a thing until we
did this.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
I also did not know it's a thing. Is it?
Is it available in the US?

Speaker 2 (40:06):
Maybe? I'm sure it is. Like all the actors are American.
It would be weird to maybe not all of them,
but a lot of the actors are American. It would
be very weird to have this not be available in America.
You know, I think the Network. Again, I don't subscribe
to the network because there are other more recognizable streaming

(40:29):
services out there that I haven't yet subscribed to. So
goodness knows, I haven't made my way down the list
to the network yet.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
Yeah, I mean I might just for this. You also
put on a trailer for a show called Stumble, and
I was like, oh my gosh, I'm not gonna like this,
and then the trailer made me laugh so so hard.
It's about competing like football, cheerleading, gymnastic teams. Correct.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
Yeah, so think of something like bring it On and
mix that with the office or parks in rec because
it's done in that mockumentary style and it's following a
disgraced cheerleader coach. She lost her previous job because she
was videotaped drinking with members of the team and making

(41:21):
inappropriate comments as well, and so she gets fired from
her cheerleader job just as she was about to break
the record for most championships coached. And then she ends
up taking the job of cheerleader coach at like a
community college in a nowhere town and is attempting to

(41:43):
replicate her success but with a very very different talent pool.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
Yeah, it looks very funny. There were some jokes that
made me very much laugh. I sent it to one
of my friends who has similar humor humor style, and
I was like, I'm a little bit ashamed that this
looks so good to me and.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
It comes out. This one comes out on NBC and
Peacock and it starts on November seventh.

Speaker 1 (42:12):
Maybe I can watch it when I briefly get NBC
for the Thanksgiving Day parade. Amadeus, Rock Me Amadeus. Yes,
we're getting a new series on Sky, which is a
British network for Amadeus. It's got Paul Bettany and it's
got Will Sharp and it looks really really good. However,

(42:34):
I'll let you go more into it in a second,
but I have to say this before I forget it.
At the end, they give the tagline believe in original Stories.
And we had an Amadeus movie that was very good
and looked rather similar.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
Oh yeah, no, not only that. Okay, so the movie
wasn't just a movie. The movie was an adaptation of
a stage play. So originally you've got the stage based
off the life of the real world Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Then you've got the movie adaptation of that stage play
that had folks like Tom Holson and f Murray Abraham

(43:13):
in it and is brilliant. It's a fantastic movie. Came
out in nineteen eighty four. It's really really good. This
also looks good, but as you say, it looks like
it's incredibly faithful, to the point where there are our
moments where you're like, yes, these are clearly different actors
and they're giving a different interpretation of the characters, but

(43:35):
they're still so close to what has already come before
that that particular line at the end where it says
believe in original stories, You're just like, oh, for come on, yeah,
don't bs me.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
Yeah no, I mean, like, is it has had some adaptations,
it hasn't had the most adaptations of properties that we've seen,
and I still very much want to watch it. I yeah,
there is any way too.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
In the US it looks good. I mean, like I
would argue, like, I know, there's some people who are saying,
why even bother to do this? We already have the
nineteen to eighty four movie, and I get that, like
that's there's some merit to that. But I also think
about how it's different because movies, obviously they exist in
a format that you can revisit, you know, you can

(44:26):
keep going back and watch the same thing. But I
think about the theatrical world. If we treated the theatrical
world the same way, if you didn't get a chance
to see a play when it was first mounted, you
would never get to see it right unless someone were
to remount it, possibly with the new interpretation and a
new cast and all that kind of thing. Clearly, it's

(44:47):
different because again with plays for the most part, with
a notable exception, will end the show with you don't
have you don't have it in a fixed format where
you can go back and see it. So I understand
that's not apple to apples here, but you know, I
still think there is merit in revisiting something. But if
you're not going to make a big departure, if you're

(45:09):
not going to make really bold choices that differentiate it
from what came before, I do see the argument about, well,
why did you invest in doing this when we already
have a really good representation.

Speaker 1 (45:23):
You know, the only thing I would say is if
there were like and this doesn't always hold true, but
you know, sometimes you've got a good movie that is
a really good story, and you're like, I want to
share this with my children or my grandkids or whatever,
because it's a really good story. It holds up, but
visually it does not. I can understand trying to take

(45:43):
a movie into the new century to introduce it to
a new audience. It doesn't always work like Tron.

Speaker 2 (45:51):
Or like or like half of the Disney live action adaptations.

Speaker 1 (45:57):
Yeah, but I could understand that being a reason.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
To try, right, I can understand it from a we
need to guarantee that we're gonna make bucket loads of money,
and let's depend upon ip we've already developed, as opposed
to taking a risk with something new, especially when like,
especially when like some of the new stuff hasn't performed
well for various reasons, Like we talked about Strange Worlds

(46:21):
and how that didn't perform well for Disney. I would
argue that was largely due to two things. One the
marketing campaign was almost non existent for that movie, and
two it wasn't very good. But but but like you know, yeah,
there's lots of different factors that come into play. I

(46:42):
will say I would be willing to watch this even
with all my complaints, because I think Paul Bettany is
a phenomenal actor, and I'm sure his saliary is incredible.

Speaker 1 (46:54):
Yes, I wasn't a huge fan of a night's Tale,
but his shaucer was a chef's kiss.

Speaker 2 (47:00):
Yeah all right, So next up in our it don't
fit here, but we're putting it in anyway. We've got
a trailer for a romantic comedy heist movie called jingle
Bell Heist.

Speaker 1 (47:13):
Yeah, I mean it's it's a Netflix movie. It falls
somewhere in between Hot Frosty and Red One. I would
say I.

Speaker 2 (47:24):
Did so. I only just this week saw the title
of Hot Frosty and I was too scared to look
and see. What the I can't curse on this show,
but what the heck that is? And I kind of
I almost don't want to know because I like living
in a world where Hot Frosty exists, and yet I

(47:44):
don't really know what it is.

Speaker 1 (47:46):
I have watched it. I watched it last year.

Speaker 2 (47:51):
Are they making a sequel or something, because I know
I saw the title this week and I thought it
was on like a maybe it was an old package
for Netflix's holiday stuff. It might have been like last year's.
It was just one of those things on YouTube that I.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
Don't think based on the ending, they could make a sequel.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
Proper got it, but it was just melt because he's
hot Frosty.

Speaker 1 (48:20):
Is it like he didn't want to know anything about that.

Speaker 2 (48:22):
I'm just wondering when I knowing it's called hot Frosty.
I'm like, is this movie like a sec Are you
watching him melt in real time and it just takes
ninety minutes for it to happen?

Speaker 1 (48:32):
No? No, no, So the premise is, sorry, now you've
opened this door. The premise is Dustin Milligan, who played
the veterinarian Alexis's boyfriend in Shit's Creek Okay, plays Jack Snowman,
who is a there's like a snowman competition or display

(48:56):
in the center of town, and he is a very
handsome look like he he looks like the statue of
David in snowman form, right, And so a woman sees
that and kind of puts a scarf around him. And yep.
So now Frosty is a real life, attractive, fit guy

(49:21):
who doesn't know how to be a person because he
was a snowman.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
Yeah, he's just now born into the world, but.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
You know, has that innocence that really touches people's lives
and and like is something aspirational but also can't do
well in hot weather and does like get heat stroke
slash start to melt, not grotesquely, but.

Speaker 2 (49:44):
Like which is a shame because it could have been
really the most amazing comedy slash body horror movie of
all time.

Speaker 1 (49:52):
Yeah, and so I mean it has a happy ending.
It has a happy ending at the end, but it
it's it is funny. It's possibly more cheesy than a
normal Hallmark movie.

Speaker 2 (50:08):
Well, I will say, getting back to jingle Bell Heist,
which this is really about, not about Hot Frosty.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
Trugrio is in Hot Frosty too.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
So you've also got like Olivia Holton, Connor Swindle, Swindle's
playing the leads, and Peter Sarah Fenowitz, who whom I love.
I think Peter Sarah Fenowitz is He's such a great actor,
fun fun, very funny guy too. I think he's playing
the owner of a department store. So the basic premise
of this is that Olivia Holt's character and Connor Connor

(50:42):
Swindle's character, they're independently targeting this bougie department store to
rob it because, particularly around the holidays, there's just a
lot of money in that store, and they end up
kind of falling in with each other and combine their

(51:02):
efforts to target this store, and so it ultimately becomes,
like I said, a romantic comedy heist movie with a
holiday flare. Like, there's a lot of sub genre labels
you have to apply to this movie. I will say this,
I am not a romantic comedy guy in general, but
this looks cute.

Speaker 1 (51:24):
It does look cute. There's enough like moments in it
that are very funny, and some of them are cheesy,
but they're delivered so well that they do make you chuckle.
It also has Lucy Punch, who I first learned about
in Tenth Kingdom, which was also all Hollmark.

Speaker 2 (51:38):
Oh she was one of the shepherdesses, wasn't she.

Speaker 1 (51:42):
Yes, yes, I think she was little bo Peep.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
Yeah. I think of her from Hot Fuzz because she
was the really bad actress in the Romeo and Juliette
stage play and Hot Fuzz.

Speaker 1 (51:55):
So I love her too. And yeah, like it just
looks it looks fun cute. You know. I know so
many people who they like Hallmark movies, but they love
Hallmark Christmas movies. This is obviously Netflix, but I feel
like this will It looks like it's a little bit
like a step above. It might be even more entertaining.

Speaker 2 (52:13):
So yeah, there's there's a local Atlanta writer and playwright
who has written several of the Hallmark Christmas movies. And
if you ever get a chance, Ariel, if they ever
if they do it again, there's a improvised Hallmark movie
stage show called y'all Mark, where he and then a

(52:36):
couple of improvisers will try to create a Hallmark style
Christmas film on stage, live before you. And mostly it's
an excuse for him to have to rain in the
actors every time they do something that is not approved
on Hallmark's extremely long list of things that are not

(52:57):
allowed in the Hallmark Christmas movies.

Speaker 1 (53:01):
Yeah, he's a fun writer. I like him a lot.
I haven't seen y'all Mark.

Speaker 2 (53:07):
You gotta give it a try if they do it
again this year. But anyway, so Jingle Bell Heist will
be coming out as you said on Netflix on November
twenty sixth Woo fun.

Speaker 1 (53:20):
I wonder how many people at Thanksgiving I can get
to watch it.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
So now we now move into John Boy's horror Hutch. Okay,
so first off, as usual, I have to ask Gariel,
did you watch any of these trailers before I launch
into this take a guess I'm gonna say no, you
totally could watch the trailer for Send Help that one
almost did. Yeah, that one's more of a psychological thriller

(53:47):
and less of a horror movie. And it's also, I
would argue, like a dark comedy slash satire kind of thing.
The basic premise is, Oh, by the way, it's directed
by Sam Raimi, the guy from the you know, Evil
Dead and Spider Man, the Toby McGuire's Spider.

Speaker 1 (54:05):
Man, two completely similar properties.

Speaker 2 (54:08):
I mean, if you watch the camera work in some
of the Spider Man stuff, you're like, oh, yeah, this
is clearly the same guy who did Evil Dead, but
and there's also a little bit of physical comedy and
those that kind of is like a through line through
his work. Dark Man's another good one that he did. Anyway,
So this one stars Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien, and

(54:30):
the basic premise is Dylan O'Brien plays this really jerk
of a company like executive, and Rachel McAdams is an
employee at this company, and he treats her like dirt.
He's dismissive toward her, he's patronizing, belittling, he's just essentially

(54:50):
he says she's worthless, but she is also picked to
go on a company trip where she and a bunch
of other people, including Dylan O'Brien's character, are on the
company plane when there's a disaster aboard the plane and
the plane crashes, and she and he are, as far
as they can tell, the only survivors. They've washed up

(55:13):
on an island and they are outside of the ability
to contact the greater, larger world. He is injured, and
so he's still kind of acting like a jerkface boss,
and she then points out like, hey, you're hurt. You
are dependent upon me. I'm the boss now. So it's

(55:36):
kind of a powers dynamic shift sort of film where
she suddenly becomes the empowered one and he's sort of
at her mercy, and you know, she starts to think, Hey,
maybe I like the way things are here, and I'm
not too worried about us getting rescued because I'm the

(55:56):
one who's capable, right, She's the one who's doing all
the hunting and everything. So it kind of reminds me
of another film called Triangle of Sadness, which has a
similar power shift between kind of an upper class and
a servant class. But anyway, this movie comes out January thirtieth,

(56:18):
so it looks interesting and as I said, Ariel, you
could totally watch this trailer. I don't think there's anything
in it that would iq out.

Speaker 1 (56:25):
Okay. I do have a quick question because you compared
it to Triangle of Sadness, which I've seen the trailer
for but I never watched because there's too much vomit
in the trailer.

Speaker 2 (56:34):
Well, that's it reminds me of that in the sense
that there's power, dynamic shift.

Speaker 1 (56:38):
Do volume. Okay, just making sure. Yeah. I like Rachel
McAdams a lot, so maybe I'll check it out.

Speaker 2 (56:46):
Okay. Well, next up is Primate. This is when I
specifically told Ariel she can't watch, which she wouldn't have
done anyway. But it's an animal attack horror movie, and
the basic premise is a group of young folks are
going to Hawaii for a vacation and the place they're
staying at I guess it's one of their friends maybe
who is living on Hawaii, so they're going to go

(57:08):
hang out with her. Well, she happens to have a chimpanzee.
I'm guessing this was an animal that was rescued and
is learning like to use a tablet in order to communicate, like,
you know, kind of like those videos of dogs that
have those buttons that they can press to communicate simple ideas,
something similar to that. Anyway, something happens to the chimp

(57:31):
that makes them go totally cray cray, and then the
chimp begins to go on a murder slash maiming spree
with all the young people being you know, the victims,
and it starts ripping up folks pretty darn bad. It
actually kind of reminds me of a very cheesy and
not good movie called Shakma from years ago, although that

(57:53):
was a I think it was a baboon in that one,
not a chimpanzee. But anyway, this film stars no one
I've ever heard of before, so I'm not gonna bother
listing them. And it comes out January ninth. I do
not think I'll see this one. It does not check
any of my boxes. So the last one is the

(58:16):
one I'm actually really excited about because it's a remake
of a super cheesy holiday horror movie called Silent Night
Deadly Night. This is a not good slasher film from
nineteen eighty four, it's a cult classic. So this is
a remake, and this is the way I think remakes

(58:36):
should be, where you take movies that are not very
good and then try to make something new out of them.
But it's based off the idea of the main character
is a when he was a young boy, witnesses his
family being murdered on Christmas. As you can imagine, this
leaves a bit of a trauma on him. So as
a grown up, he's a psychopath who likes to dress

(58:59):
up as sad to clause and kill people that he
deems to be quote unquote naughty. So it's kind of
like it's kind of like he's he sees himself as
dealing out justice in the guise of being Santa Claus.
So in this new version that, by the way, is
basically the same plause the original nineteen eighty four film,
But in this new version he seems to meet up

(59:21):
with a young woman who, after an initial uncertain reaction,
appears to come to appreciate his methodology and be like, ah,
this is not a bad idea. I can only hope
that at some point within this film he says garbage day,

(59:41):
because that's actually a line from Silent Night Deadly Night two.
Technically it was the younger brother who says it in
that movie, but it's such a great line that I
would love for it to be in this one. So
I'm hoping that it's it shows up in there somewhere anyway. Yeah,
because Silent Night Deadly Knight, too, by the way, is
a sequel where like fifty percent of the sequel is

(01:00:04):
just footage from the first film. There's hardly any new
stuff in it, except for the garbage Day thing. But
this remake comes out December twelfth, and I will see
this because it's schlocky and silly, and I think everyone's
aware of it, Like it's not like one of those
horror movies where they meant for it to be serious

(01:00:26):
but it ends up being silly. I think there's an
element of silly just purpose built into this film in
such a way where it doesn't feel like disingenuous or insincere.
So I'm I will go see this. It'll probably be
really bloody, and I'm okay with it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
Okay, I won't see that one, but I'm glad you're
excited about it. Let's move on to I know people
have been waiting since we mentioned at the beginning talking
about New York Comic Con.

Speaker 2 (01:01:00):
Yeah, so there's lots of stuff. Mostly again, there's mostly
comic book news, and then there were some trailers and
stuff that we'll talk about in a second. But some
of the things I put in were that apparently one
of the executives with d C Comics just came out
and was like, yeah, we just want to make it
clear that our policy is we do not accept AI

(01:01:22):
generated stories or art in our comic books. So that
got a big that's awesome, Yeah, big thumbs up from me.
Apparently there's going to be a Mortal Kombat slash DC
character crossover in comic books in February. Obviously there's been
that kind of thing in the video games, but now
it's going to be like a comic book story. Did

(01:01:46):
you read about the the series called Sirens Love Hurts.

Speaker 1 (01:01:52):
Yeah, yeah, it's it's the Catwoman Harley Quinn and Black
Canary Meat Sex in the City.

Speaker 2 (01:01:57):
Yeah, and Poison Ivy as well, although I don't I
think she's left out of the headline, but it's in
the story. Yeah, Poison Ivy is also included. So yeah,
it's kind of like a Sex and the City inspired series,
and it's under their Black label, which is for readers
who are over the age of seventeen, so you know,

(01:02:17):
spicy stuff I am imagining in there.

Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
But yeah, they're doing a couple of adults only things.

Speaker 2 (01:02:23):
Yeah. So it's also out of canon, so it's not
within the continuity of the Greater DC storyline, which gives
them a lot more freedom when they're telling their story,
doesn't have to conform to anything else. The big news
I saw from Marvel Comics was that they're shutting down
the Ultimate Universe in April of next year.

Speaker 1 (01:02:43):
So I promised for real es this time.

Speaker 2 (01:02:45):
Yeah, and those were like the big ones that I noted.
Was there anything else that you saw that you wanted
to shout out? Yes?

Speaker 1 (01:02:52):
Yeah. So, first of all, we got a bunch of
stuff on the upcoming Mighty nine from Critical Role, the
cartoon that's coming out. It's going to be longer than
Vox Machina episodes, which is delightful both in length of
each episode and then in length of the series are
a season. We also got information that they aren't following

(01:03:13):
the order of the storyline that happened in the actual play.
They're they're changing it around some uh to be better narratively,
which we'll keep it fresh for people who have watched
the actual play but also make it easier to follow
for people who haven't. I'm very excited about it. I
am very confused about the Swamp thing meets Jesus Christ

(01:03:37):
four parter that's coming out from DC. Apparently they tried
to do it in the past and it got canceled,
but now it's happening. Also, I think is his name
is Jim Lee, the guy who's kind of in charge
of Yeah, Jim Lee, the chief creative officer of DC,

(01:03:59):
had a really good take on Superman falling into the
public domain that I thought was worth mentioning. Did you
read that?

Speaker 2 (01:04:06):
No? I didn't see that, So.

Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
I'm just gonna read straight from the page on the
pop verse dot com because his quote is very cool
because in twenty thirty four, one of the Superman's, like
the first Superman, will fall into the public domain. And
Lie said, yes, characters will fall into the public domain.
It's already happening. We've seen all these unsettling knockoffs of

(01:04:31):
Mickey Mouse floating around online. But here's the truth. The
character isn't the magic the storytelling is, the world building
is Owning Superman isn't the same as understanding Superman, knowing
how he moves, how he speaks, and what he stands for.
And I thought that that was really cool.

Speaker 2 (01:04:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:04:46):
He also said, anyone can draw a cap or write
a hero, but it's about the stories you tell.

Speaker 2 (01:04:50):
So yeah, I would. I would argue that my biggest
problems with some some of the Superman projects that have
come out over the last ten fift teen years have
been because I felt the people telling those stories had
a fundamental misunderstanding of what Superman is.

Speaker 1 (01:05:08):
Yeah, but I I am. The new Superman movie made me.

Speaker 2 (01:05:12):
Hopeful, Yes, So yeah, that was much more in line
with what I want Superman to be. And I can
also understand, like you can have different interpretations of the
same character, and it's not like one interpretation is more
valid than another, but I do think one interpretation might
be way more satisfying than another for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:05:33):
And then we got some cool trailers, So let's talk
about those, starting with the one that I was most
excited for.

Speaker 2 (01:05:39):
Yeah, Disney Plus's Marvel series. Are you know, they're a
pretty big mix of things that are good and exciting,
and I'm looking forward to them. And things that just
don't resonate with me, this one is fortunately one that
I am looking forward to. It is the Disney Plus
series for wonder Man, which is long been in development

(01:06:04):
and then even been finalized. Like it they shot. They
finished shooting that like last year. But you know, they've
held onto it because, as it turns out, there's some
meta commentary about things like the entertainment industry in general
and superhero films in particular, and there were other projects
that came out that clearly were similar to that in concept,

(01:06:28):
and Disney didn't want this to get lost in the shuffle,
so they held onto it, so it won't be coming
out until late January.

Speaker 1 (01:06:38):
I'm I'm fine with that. I'm looking forward to this
because of the meta commentary. Also, it's got Ben Kingsley
in it again and his character. They took a problematic
character in the MCU and made him hilarious.

Speaker 2 (01:06:53):
Yeah. Trevor Slattery aka the Mandarin Mandarin. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:06:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:07:00):
And the interesting thing to me is that, so the
character that we're following, the protagonist is a working actor
whose character name is Simon Williams, who wants to try
an audition for a big superhero project where it's a
remake of a movie called wonder Man. In the MCU.

(01:07:21):
There was a previous wonder Man movie in fact, and
I think it was a deleted scene in Guardians of
the Galaxy Too, you find out it's supposed to be
Nathan Fillion starring as wonder Man in the remake, but
that was never I think that was never canon because
I think it was deleted. But yeah, so this is
a totally different actor who's doing this. What I'm curious

(01:07:43):
about is whether or not the MCU's version of Simon
Williams has superpowers, because in the comics he does he
is wonder Man, But in this it appears that he's
an actor who's just trying to play the part of
wonder Man in a movie.

Speaker 1 (01:08:01):
Yeah, I wonder if he has powers or if he
will gain them. Tony tried to explain because it's one
of the ones that I'm less familiar with, but the
trailer really resonated with me. Tony tried to explain Wonderman
to me, and it's kind of it feels like he's
the piece you put in when you don't want nowhere else.
To what else to put in to fill a hole?

Speaker 2 (01:08:23):
Yeah, yeah, No, change is what he is and what he.

Speaker 1 (01:08:26):
Needs to be.

Speaker 2 (01:08:26):
It's a yeah, same here. I was not very familiar
with the character at all, so I read up on
it and it was one of those where I was like, Oh,
this is gonna be one of those experiences where I'm
going to read this. I'm going to read it through,
maybe more than once, and by the end of it
still have no idea what they're talking about.

Speaker 1 (01:08:45):
Yeah. Yeah, but the trailer looks really great.

Speaker 2 (01:08:50):
Yep. We also got a new trailer for Star Trek
Starfleet Academy. We previously got a teaser for it. This
time we got a full trailer that gave us a
little bit of a deeper look into things like the
villain for the first season, or at least some of
the episodes. So I'm curious what your reaction was.

Speaker 1 (01:09:09):
I really liked the teaser. This trailer made me less excited.

Speaker 2 (01:09:13):
I have exactly the same thing written down.

Speaker 1 (01:09:16):
Because the teaser felt, I mean, it felt very like
there was gonna be a whole bunch of discovery in it,
and like this new trailer makes it makes it feel like,
albeit there are some great moments. I think Holly Hunter
is going to be an amazing character. She makes me
laugh in the trailer, but overall it kind of feels

(01:09:38):
more like c W teeny boppery.

Speaker 2 (01:09:42):
See in mine, I wrote that I like the original
teaser because I felt that it made the series seem
curiosity focused. Yes, right, and that this made it look
a little too action film ish for my tastes, which,
considering who's behind it, I'm not surprised.

Speaker 1 (01:09:59):
Se curiosity was the word I was searching for, so
that is correct. I mean, it's correct even if I
didn't agree with it, or if that wasn't my thought,
but I agree with you there. Yeah, I just there
was like a line where one of the characters is like,
I might hurt you and the guy's like, I'm not afraid.
I'm like, this just dropped straight out of and c
W drama.

Speaker 2 (01:10:19):
Yeah, totally. That's a good observation. And who knows. This again,
like the teaser gave us a totally different feel than
this trailer did. Who knows, maybe there'll be another trailer
where we're like, oh, this is actually more what we
were looking for. It's hard to say, but I guess
I won't say anything about it at all because it

(01:10:40):
comes out January fifteenth on Paramount Plus and I don't
have Paramount Plus, so I'm not gonna be watching it anyway, I.

Speaker 1 (01:10:49):
Do plan on watching it. Paramount Plus is one of
those networks that because I can't I can't afford all
networks at all times, is one of the ones that
I get for a season, Yeah at a time, Yeah,
which is how I watched Strange New world season three
and how I plan on watching Strange New Worlds season four.

Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
Yeah. We got a first look like essentially a four
minute chunk of an episode from season four, and that
was shown off at New York Comic Con. It's essentially
a scene in which the Enterprise has encountered a kind
of like an energy cloud of some sort in space
and detects a distress signal coming from within it, and

(01:11:33):
while investigating it appears that they end up getting snagged
by it. And I wrote this, I mean this makes
me think of like classic Star Trek.

Speaker 1 (01:11:44):
Yeah, yeah, no, it really does. I like the four
minute scene. I the more and more that I watched
Strange New Worlds, the more and more I like it.
The last season was super strong and super fun, and
like I have some friends who have issues with it,
I feel like it good because, like I had one

(01:12:04):
friend who said that they didn't like that people questioned
authority in it, and I'm like, it's okay that they
question authority. It's how they deal with it, and I
think the show deals with it well. But it's a
good mix of like serious episodes and fun episodes, which
for me, I like that mix. I enjoyed that about
TNG right, So I just I find the characters likable.

(01:12:30):
You know, why do something if it's going to be
exactly the same. So I think it it treads new
ground while really feeling like what I love about Star Trek.

Speaker 2 (01:12:40):
Right, it doesn't just it doesn't just use the name
and the aesthetic, but you know, ditch everything else, which
is the problem I have with a lot of the
other more recent Star Trek projects.

Speaker 1 (01:12:53):
But I think I do think you would like some
of Strange New World if you watched it. I don't
know how far in you'd have.

Speaker 2 (01:12:59):
To get to be hooked, though, yeah i'd have to Again,
I'd have to get Paramount plus first. So I just
don't see it happening something else I don't see it
happening is me watching Adventuretime Fiona and Cake season two,
because I never watched adventure Time, and I didn't even
know there was a season one of Fiona. I just
thought that show was done. I did not realize that

(01:13:21):
there had been a spinoff series that came out. But
I had never really watched adventure Time in the first place. However,
I thought I should include it because we may have
listeners who are big Adventure Time fans and they might
want to know that season two is coming out October
twenty third on HBO Max. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:13:41):
I did watch not all of Adventure Time, but a
lot of it. It was one of those things that
people around me enjoyed watching, and so I kind of
got sucked in. I can't say I ever enjoyed it,
And half the time it was like some weird Nike
Will induced fever dream.

Speaker 2 (01:14:00):
Yeah, I watched one of those. It was an improvised
Shakespeare show.

Speaker 1 (01:14:06):
But I I knew there was a Fiona and Cake series.
I thought it was a lot longer ago, and it
had also ended. Apparently it was August to September twenty
twenty three, so it's been a couple of years, which
feels like an eternity. Yeah, it looks, it looks fun.
It does have it does have notes of the things

(01:14:29):
that I did enjoy about Adventure Time, But the show
was so all over the place, I can't say that
I overall liked it. It had some very clever stuff
in it.

Speaker 2 (01:14:39):
I I am only barely aware of Adventure Time, Like,
of course, I've heard the title, and I've seen little
tiny bits, and I know about bacon pancakes, and that's
about it.

Speaker 1 (01:14:54):
Pancakes, bacon.

Speaker 2 (01:14:56):
Okay, if it weren't for that stupid bird, I wouldn't
even know about bake in pancakes.

Speaker 1 (01:15:00):
As adorable bird. There's a bird on social media who
likes to sing that song and it's so cute. Okay,
speaking of cute, the trailer for Invincible season.

Speaker 2 (01:15:11):
Four was cute, I guess for a given definition of cute. Yeah,
it shows. It's similar to other teasers they've done before,
like when they're doing season announcements in which they have
two characters meeting and it's kind of a fourth wall
breaking meta conversation about the show where it's not set

(01:15:34):
within the world. It's not like you're seeing a scene
from the season. It's rather two characters who are actually
having a conversation about there being another season, And in
this case, we see Invincible, complete with like robotic casts
over to his arms in one leg because he got
them so pulverized at the end of season three, talking

(01:16:00):
to Adam Eve and contemplating eating a seriously moldy burger
in what looks to be a bombed out burger joint.
But it's all to promote the launch of season four,
which will be coming out in March twenty twenty six.
Did you ever watch season three?

Speaker 1 (01:16:16):
No? So I've actually been trying to get us to
go back and watch it because I did enjoy it.
I feel like, unlike The Boys, it has a better
balance to the story it tells it does.

Speaker 2 (01:16:27):
It does, but there is a trope that's playing out,
and I'm sure this is in the comic book too,
So I don't want to lay all this on the show,
but there's a trope that continues to play out that
I am absolutely sick of, which is, you know, ninety
nine times out of one hundred, character appears to be
beaten to death and then someone ends up grabbing that

(01:16:52):
character's body and putting it in a secret location and
bump up a bomb. It turns out they're not actually
dead there only, as Miracle Max would say, mostly missed dead. Yeah, yeah,
that that happens again and again, unless it's a character
you actually like, in which case that that sucker stays dead.

Speaker 1 (01:17:12):
I mean, it is invincible, so it doesn't surprise me
that a lot of the characters are invincible. I completely
missed the fact that he had cast on his arms
and leg.

Speaker 2 (01:17:21):
Oh yeah, well, I mean they look like it looks
like his arms have been replaced by robot arms and
a robot leg as well, although that would be replacing
his leg, not his arms, But.

Speaker 1 (01:17:32):
I mean he could have a robot leg on his arm.
You'd never know.

Speaker 2 (01:17:35):
Yeah. I had to go back and look at what happened,
because it's been long enough since I've watched season three
that I couldn't exactly remember. And I was like, did
he get his arms and leg ripped off and now
he's got robot arms and a robot leg? Because that's
not that's not outside the realm of possibility of invincible.
That could have been a thing that happened. But no,

(01:17:56):
I think I think they're meant to be protecting him.
While he heals is my guess, gotcha?

Speaker 1 (01:18:03):
Yeah? Like I do want to go back and watch it,
because I did enjoy what I saw, but it's been
so long that like trying to figure out where we
left off and remembering what happened. It feels like a task.
It's something that I want to do, and my husband
wants to do as well, because we watch it together.

Speaker 2 (01:18:18):
But it just we haven't gotten there yet totally. Well.
Next up, we got a trailer for a prime Amazon
Prime video series called bat Fam, which looks very silly.
It's a spin off of a twenty twenty three holiday
film that was titled Mary Little Batman. I have not
seen it, so I have. Oh okay, so this must

(01:18:39):
have made a little more sense to you than it
did to.

Speaker 1 (01:18:42):
Me a little bit. So Mary Little Batman was one
that I watched begrudgingly because my husband and some of
his friends like to watch a lot of the Batman
Batman cartoons and one off movies that come out. In fact,
we have a poster in our day in our basement
bathroom that says bathroom and it's Batman sitting on a toilet.

(01:19:03):
So that's my household. Tony Loves Batman. I didn't. I
don't like the art style and I thought it would
bother me, But the story was actually really cute for
Mary Little Batman. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit,
and I was very surprised this trailer, it also doesn't

(01:19:28):
super appeal to me, but I'm hoping that I enjoy
it like I enjoyed the first movie.

Speaker 2 (01:19:32):
Yeah. When I watched this trailer, it was one of
those things. I think I've talked about this in recent
episodes about other comedies where I recognize that the thing
they're presenting is in the form of a joke, but
it seems to be missing that thing you know about
being funny. And that's the problem I have is I'm like,

(01:19:53):
this sounds like a joke, like it sounds like it's
set up in Punchline, but I'm not finding any of
it even remotely funny. It just feels like they're they're
following the format but not actually putting anything really clever
in there. But I'm also a notorious sour puss. Yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (01:20:16):
We'll see it. Is it is goofy and dorky. Yeah,
but gosh, who plays who plays Batman? I can't remember.

Speaker 2 (01:20:25):
I don't know the thing. The one thing I thought
was funny was that one of their housemates in this
series is man Bat and that's just that's just crazy.
While you look up who's playing who, I will.

Speaker 1 (01:20:38):
Say Wilson plays Bruce Wayne.

Speaker 2 (01:20:41):
Okay. The series comes out on November tenth on Amazon
Prime Video.

Speaker 1 (01:20:47):
Yeah, I'll watch it. I'll let you know how it is.
Mary Latmus was cute, but from going from bats to
vampires because that is the logical evolution.

Speaker 2 (01:20:58):
Yep. I totally meant to do that when I rearranged
the lineup.

Speaker 1 (01:21:03):
We got a trailer for something called The Vampire Lestat,
which looks like it's a spin off of Interview with
a Vampire.

Speaker 2 (01:21:10):
Technically it's season three of Interview with the Vampire series,
but they, for reasons I don't fully understand, they have
subtitled or maybe just titled this season the Vampire Less
stat Lstat is one of the characters from an Interview
with a Vampire. If you saw the old film that
came out by Old it makes me shiver because I

(01:21:31):
saw that in the theater. But the one that had
like Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise in it. Tom Cruise
played lastat in that one. So that's this character. He's
a a vain, narcissistic vampire with he loves to be adored,
So he has like a vampire rock band that he's

(01:21:53):
the front man for. He's kind of a hedonistic kind
of dude, and so it seems like this series is
going to follow him and his exploits while he is
completely alienating people who are totally fed up with his BS?

Speaker 1 (01:22:11):
Does I don't you haven't watched the previous two seasons, right.

Speaker 2 (01:22:16):
No, But I mean I've seen so I've only ever
seen the film adaptation with Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise
and those folks. I've only ever seen that thing. I've
never read the book, and I haven't seen the other series.

Speaker 1 (01:22:31):
Okay, because I was just wondering if the other series
went into present day like this one does.

Speaker 2 (01:22:40):
Oh yeah, Interview with the Vampire starts off. I mean
present day I think would be the nineteen seventies, because
I think that's when the original book came out. But
you could always just update that, right, So in Interview
with the Vampire, the actual titular interview that's happening is
happening in modern day. The idea is that Uh, this

(01:23:02):
vampire named Louis is granting an interview with a journalist
and revealing all these vampiic secrets, including the existence of
le stat Like that's that's all part of the plot
of that original novel, gotcha. And then and then you
you get flashbacks to the history where all the different,

(01:23:26):
you know, vampiric events happened. Gotcha.

Speaker 1 (01:23:31):
I like, it's always looked the series look good to me.
I watched the movie, but I don't remember anything about it,
but it does look a little spicy for me, which
is why I haven't delved in. Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:23:44):
Yeah, I'm I'm not a big fan of shows that
follow a character who is a narcissist, so so I
don't have I don't have, Like I'm not a big
fan of Anne Rice's vampire stories in general. Like when
I saw an Interview with the Vampire, like it was
already like that title was already a big, big deal

(01:24:05):
by the time that film came out, Like it was,
you know, two decades after the novel had come out,
I think, or around that amount of time, and I
watched it and thought, yeah, this isn't for me, and
that's kind of how I felt. Ever, since and I
also like, I don't like the variation on vampires that

(01:24:26):
Ann Rice worked with. Not that not that there's anything
wrong with being a fan of that, It's just not
my preferred manifestation of vampires, which is unfortunate because it
informed like portrayals of vampiorism for for essentially the following
three decades.

Speaker 1 (01:24:48):
Yeah, yeah, but you know, now we've got a wide
plethora of vampires.

Speaker 2 (01:24:55):
Yes, you can pick and choose your favorite flavor of vampire.

Speaker 1 (01:24:59):
Included musical vampires because Lost Boys is going to Broadways
We've mentioned.

Speaker 2 (01:25:03):
Before, but that's not what we're talking about here.

Speaker 1 (01:25:07):
No, but I was trying to segue poorly into our
final bits roadway along.

Speaker 2 (01:25:16):
Yeah, So what Ariel is mumbling about is that we're
getting Is it a pro shot? Is that what this is?

Speaker 1 (01:25:27):
I think?

Speaker 2 (01:25:28):
So it's hard to say because the the preview that
we get, uh was like I didn't hear any audience
at all in the in the trailer, but then it
was mostly like it sounded to me like it was
the soundtrack recording of the songs mostly playing underneath, but
it is a performance of Merrily We Roll Along. Jonathan

(01:25:52):
Groff and Daniel Radcliffe are in it. This is a
Stephen Sondheim musical. It's about a group of three friends
and how their friendship has deteriorated over you know, decades,
and at least the stage play version, and I'm assuming
this version too, is told in reverse chronological order. So

(01:26:15):
the beginning of the play, you see when these friendships
are like absolutely falling apart, and then as the play
goes on, you're going further back in time when they
are less successful as creatives and professionals, but they're stronger
in their friendship with one another.

Speaker 1 (01:26:34):
Yeah, so the internet seems to be of the consensus
that this is a pro shot. You know, this is
the cast of the revival that happened recently, which, like,
I don't know if you were off of social media
by that time, but watching them do like interviews and stuff,
it looks like they really developed a really good friendship
during the run of the musical on Broadway. So for

(01:26:58):
that reason alone, it makes me a little bit to
watch it.

Speaker 2 (01:27:01):
Yeah, this comes out December fifth, so it's not that
long before it'll be around. Honestly, I'm always happy when
there is a pro shot, particularly of like a really
good adaptation of whatever the play is, or a good

(01:27:21):
rendition of that play, because obviously is incredibly challenging to
see shows, particularly with a specific cast, Like you've got
to be in the right place at the right time,
with the right amount of money, and it is hard
to do. And I can honestly say that if it
weren't for this pro shot, I would wouldn't even have

(01:27:42):
had a chance to have seen this. So I'm still
not sure if I'm going to because I'm not the
biggest Sondheim fan. I realize that he has a reputation
of being incredibly important and Broadway, and I don't deny that,
but it doesn't change the fact that I don't like
most of his shows.

Speaker 1 (01:28:02):
And that's okay. I you know, I'm glad we're getting
so many pro shots lately. I hope some of them
make it to the US, because like six just got
a pro shot with the original cast. I think they
also just did a pro shot with Hades Town.

Speaker 2 (01:28:18):
Yeah that also happened in England. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that
was the original cast of Hadestown too, because that was
a big deal that they got everyone back together and
they I think they did like a month of performances
or something, and then over the course of two or
three nights they shot the pro shot.

Speaker 1 (01:28:36):
Yeah, and I still want a pro shot of Beetlejuice.
But the cast on Broadway now is the touring cast,
which is awesome for them. I'm so happy. However, however,
we are also getting a pro shot of the Shakespeare
in the Park Twelfth Night with Peter dinklic Oh nice. Yeah,
PBS is going to broadcast it. Maybe they already have.

(01:28:59):
I just found out about it. But uh, I, oh no,
it'll it'll uh it'll come out. Oh gosh, when is
it coming out? I don't think we've missed it yet.
But the you know, the the show was in Central Park.

(01:29:19):
But I liked the last great performances Twelfth Night with
Paul Rudd and Olivia. I don't remember everybody all of
a sudden, everybody's the woman from that about you.

Speaker 2 (01:29:35):
It doesn't help me, ye, Helen Hunt.

Speaker 1 (01:29:42):
Helen Hunt, which is that what I said? Was in
Starfleet Academy, because that's not who is in Starfleet Academy. Gosh,
I'm losing my mind, y'all Starfleet Academy is Holly Hunter.
Hell Hunt was in.

Speaker 2 (01:30:00):
Twelfth Night with Paul run, I think you. I think
you said Holly Hunter. The first time. It didn't it
didn't trigger my brain. But then, let's be fair, I
got a brain of Swiss cheese, so it's possible I
missed it at the time. But I promise that's who
she was thinking of, even if it's not who she said.
But I think that's who you said.

Speaker 1 (01:30:20):
Yes. But back in nineteen ninety eight, PBS released a
version of Twelfth Night with Helen Hunt, Paul Rudd, Kevin
Daniels of Shoot, who played who played what's her face?

(01:30:41):
Cira Sedgwick. It was amazing, It was amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:30:43):
Well, in case you are curious, because I looked it
up while you were having.

Speaker 1 (01:30:47):
That episode having an episode?

Speaker 2 (01:30:49):
Yet, is that is that twelfth Night? PBS is broadcasting
it on November fourteenth.

Speaker 1 (01:30:55):
Okay, okay, good, I didn't think I missed it. I'm
looking forward to it very okay.

Speaker 2 (01:31:01):
Cool. Well, that wraps up this episode. And because someone
has a heart out in like two minutes, I suggest
we go straight to telling people where they can get
in touch with us and just skip me being a
