Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Large and Her John Collider Podcast,
the podcast that's all about the geeky things happening in
the world around us and how very exciting we are
about them. I'm Ariel casted, and with me, as always,
is the delightful Shoonathan Strickland.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
I'll co host your podcast for three thousand dollars, but
I'll edit and post.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
It for ten dollars. Ten dollars. I'll take it ten
ten thousand dollars. Well, guys, this has been great. It's
the last episode. We're gonna stop right now. I don't
have ten thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Making I'm making a goofy reference to a movie that
Ariel and I both watched because we were in the
same room while it was on. But that that actually
leads me to a question I have for you, Ariel.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Oh, golly, one of these days I'm gonna get you all.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
You didn't say anything, so I went ahead and wrote one.
This one, This one I have not shared with Ariel beforehand,
so it's okay if it takes you a moment.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
To think about it taking one year.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
But we did have a weekend with several of our
mutual friends in celebration and early celebration of my fiftieth birthday.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
And so my question to you is what was.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Your favorite thing or moment during the birthday cabin weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
That's so hard because it's like almost picking like my
favorite person. Well, clearly that's me because it is it
is my birth it is your birthday. And also you
are my longest standing friend out of everybody there, so
I have two. It's hard because, like, I really enjoyed

(01:50):
when we got to do things with everybody, but outside
of watching Jaws, which you know, I like, I like,
but I don't love, Uh, there wasn't anything that we
all been together. There was, like we had meals together
and stuff, but oftentimes there's one person off doing something else.
So I liked getting up in the morning and having

(02:13):
time to chat with you because you were the earliest
riser and I was the second earliest at like consistently.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
And everybody else would be in bed for another like
two hours.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah. Yeah, and you know, we don't get to hang
out in person a whole whole lot because of busy schedules,
So it was just absolutely delightful. But I also really
liked we played several games and I really enjoyed playing
Just One. I also loved Rings and Things, but Just
One was easy and delightful, whereas Rings and Things was challenging.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah yeah, So Just One is a game in which
each player has a little a little stand that also
serves as a whiteboard, and when it's your turn, you
draw a card and you don't look at it. You
put it on the stand so it's facing away from you,
and the card has five word choices on it, and
you just choose a number between one and five. That

(03:10):
number represents whichever word is on that card. The other
players have to provide a one word clue to the guesser,
and they have to write it down on their little placard,
and we have to do it independently of everybody else.
And if in that process two people have picked the
same clue, they cancel each other out. They can't show

(03:30):
that clue to the guesser, so the guesser then opens
their eyes, reads the clues, and then gets one chance
to guess whatever the word is. We actually were pretty
good at it.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah yeah, I think it helps that we're all the
same kind of nerd. And then honorable mention was any
time that I was cooking in the kitchen and other
people were also cooking in the kitchen. I know that
can be infuriating for some folks, but I love cooking
with other people, and so while I enjoyed cooking for
other people, if other people are also cooking, it feels

(04:04):
like community and I love that. Yeah, we did.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
We fortunately didn't have any instances of people getting in
the way of anyone else, because if that happens when
I'm in the kitchen cooking, I mean, you know, my
demeanor changes rapidly. I like, ripped the skin off my
face and have a fiery skull, and I'm like, why
do you task me?

Speaker 1 (04:27):
And then we use his head as a habachi girl?

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, a little barbecue. Yeah. Yeah, it was fun. It
was a nice cabin. The views were spectacking, beautiful.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
The hot tub was fine. I used it twice, but
as a group, we only really used it once.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
I wanted to use it again, but you used it
in the morning and then we didn't have time at night,
because I honestly think that we could have used a
few more days there.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Yeah, just to get if I had realized I didn't
realize it at the time. I didn't think about it
that it butted up against the June nineteenth Juneteenth, and
I get Juneteenth off from work, so I could have
gone one day earlier, and I could have made the
reservation last an extra day. Although considering how much well,

(05:21):
considering how much food I brought up, and because we
didn't know how bad their drive up to the cabin
was going to be, so we didn't want to have
to go back down the mountain if we didn't have to.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Ariel actually did do a grocery store run. I loved it.
I got to drive through Blue Ridge. It was delightful.
Everybody had to listen to my show tunes out of
my sun roof.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
But you know, when we were like, we weren't sure
that we wanted to do that over and over. So
I tried to bring as much enough food to last
us for six people for the entire weekend. And the
thought of having to add another couple of meals on
top of what I brought is I love to to say,
like that would.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Not have been fun. I think if that had happened,
I would have offered to cook a couple more meals.
I probably already should have.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Beca tells me that next time we have to have
it where each person takes a turn.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Either each person takes a turn and or like I
think we could you guys, I don't know if this
is interesting to any of your listeners, but we're gonna
talk about it anyhow. So haha, we probably could have
skipped breakfast just because everybody wakes up at such a
different time. I love communal breakfasts. I think the last
time we did a cabin trip, I did waffles for everybody,
but it ends up hitting around lunchtime, like a little

(06:34):
early for lunchtime, so it ends up being a late breakfast,
early lunch, and then a late lunch early dinner, and
then it's late. Yeah. So we only had two meals
a day a couple of those days. Yeah. So I
think having like a fend for self like Becca. Becca
made the awesome breakfast cast roles, So something like that
where like you can just eat it when you get up,

(06:57):
no prep needed for breakfast would be good. Maybe, like
so was.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Supposed to when I was doing the pancake assembly line.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Which was delicious. Oh my gosh, you're such a good
pancake maker, and I was so grateful for it. But
it's a lot of work, I get it, and then
maybe for like lunches doing like sandwiches or easy.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Yeah, the tricky part for me is that, like I
would love to have done sandwiches and just gotten like
Deli meat or whatever, but I can't have that because
it's got too much sodium in it. So that's where
the trick is is that if I'm not making the food,
it's always riskier for me, just on sodium levels.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
How do you feel about like egg sandwiches with lettuce
and tomato.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
I mean, they're great if you can put salt on
them there. If you can't, then it's like, oh, thank
you for the sulfur sandwich you.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Just handed me. Yeah, I mean next time, next time
people can take a turn. I'm happy to my car
handled it fro My AC went out that week again,
but it had nothing to do with the dirt roads.
It had a faulty compressor. So I'm happy to make
runs because I like off roading.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Yeah, the rest of us were a little less enthusiastic about.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
It, but but yeah, it was a really wonderful time.
What was your favorite moment?

Speaker 2 (08:19):
I think I think you know, well, there was lots
of them, because, like you say, it was hard because
we didn't really have a time where all six of
us were engaged in something at the same time. It's
usually four or five of us, and then one or
two of us would all be doing something else, like,
for instance, karaoke. It was most of us except for

(08:40):
Becca because Beca doesn't do karaoke, so we did karaoke.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
That was a lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Jack Box, it was even fewer of us, Like I
always think jack Box works best if you have at
least five people, but we only had four.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
Yeah, yeah, I wish. I wish your partner had not
been taking a nap because they're very good it jack Box. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Well, I'm glad that people got a chance to rest
and recuperate. And that was kind of the whole point
of the weekend was for it to be a pretty
chill affair, and we had lots of different things as options,
and we only tapped a few of them. But honestly,
that's fine, Like it would have been better than if
we had only had two things to do and no

(09:20):
one was really into it.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
It just means now we need to have a game
day to play some of those other games of folks.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Friend of the Show Shay, who was there, has suggested
that she might host such a game day in the future,
so we'll keep our eyes.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Out for that. I'd also be happy to host. I
might have a little more space than Shay, that would
be cool. All right, Well, let's move on from the question.
And now now I ask you, because I didn't see
it in the document, did you watch anything geeky ish?
I added it as we were talking. So, yes, we

(09:56):
watched Jaws because it's Jonathan's favorite.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
And it's also fifty years old, just like Meze.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Yes, it's also fifty years old. I love the filmmaking
of Jaws. I think Spielberg did a great job with it.
Speelwork right, Yeah. I just the idea of being attacked
by a shark and no one helping you is scary.
So the beginning of the movie is less for me.
But I really like a lot of the interplay. I

(10:24):
like talking over each other stuff like that. So for
the most part, I enjoyed it. And then I watched Love,
Death and Robots my group watch finished up season one
of that. Because I've never seen it. A bunch of
my group has, but it's been forever and they're all short,
so you forget them. There was an episode in it
called Phish Dreams in which someone gets eaten by a shark.

(10:46):
I'm like, I've already watched Jaws this week by a
ghost shark. But it's fine. That show is. I did
not like It's Love, Death and Robots. I didn't expect
it to be as an as adult on the love
side of things as it is. I expected some of it,

(11:09):
but a couple of the episodes were a bit much
for me. I'm not gonna lie. I've also been keeping
up with Cloudward ho which is the Dimension twenty dropout
actual play. It's steampunk ish steampunk air travel exploration. It's delightful.
I'm absolutely loving it. The first episode is a little monkers,

(11:32):
but it's very good. The characters are great, there's some
great bits, the world building is wonderful, and the air
the air battle is fun. And then I watched this
week's episode of Smarty Pants, also on Dropout, which is
basically the improv game of slideshow but funny and Demi.
I'm gonna say Demi because I've heard his last name.

(11:53):
But unless I'm looking at it and I don't have
it pulled up, I can't pronounce it correctly. DEMI did
a presentation on on rebooting the movie Big, and it
was hilarious because it was really commentary on nostalgia banking
in film and how we should let people have their

(12:14):
own discovery in film. But it was but it wasn't.
But it was also like, hey, I also love Big,
Let's remake it in this horrible, funny, hilarious. It was
just very good. It was just very very good. Yeah,
it was fun a movie that has a truly problematic
element to it. Yes, well, which he did address address.
I'm sure you have to. It was hilarious. It was

(12:37):
just it's very funny. I recommend I recommend his season
two Smarty Pants presentation. Yeah, and other than that, I've
been playing a little bit of balder skate and kept
catching up on some housework.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
So yeah, Jaws obviously for me too. My favorite part
of this most recent viewing of Jaws is if you've
seen it, you know what I'm talking about. But it's
the moment when Hooper jumps into the water in snorkel
gear to look at a boat that is a drift
in the ocean, and as he's looking into a hole,

(13:15):
the decapitated head of one of Jaws's victims floats into view,
and friend of the show Shay, freaked out so hard
that it reminded me, oh, yeah, this is a scary part.
Because I've seen that movie so many times. I'm not
scared by it at all. I'm still scared by it.

(13:35):
I'm still scared by Jurassic Part two.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
Well, I've seen.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
It so many times that that doesn't it doesn't phaze me.
But so I enjoy it for the performances in the
movie making. I don't find it tense or scary because
I've just seen it too many times. But I still
really love the movie. But yeah, that was just a
reminder of, oh yeah, this movie is scary. She didn't

(13:59):
know that was gonna happen. The other thing I've watched
is the first two episodes of season three of Squid Game.
So there's six episodes total. I've got four more to go.
It's I mean, it's a harder watch than it ever
has been before, and it was really easy one.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah, I would say that's that's quite the accomplishment.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Well, I mean, like, so if you watch Squid Game
season two, you know that the season ends before the
games have ended. And so season three picks up where
season two left off, And so you've got a dwindling
number of players, which means that the remaining people you

(14:44):
care about and the remaining people that you really hate
are kind of concentrated. You don't have as many, just
like other random folks thrown in there. Right, So I
am happy to say that in episode two, one of
my two least favorite characters did bite it.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
The other one is still around.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
And actually, I guess there's three that I really don't like,
but and two of them are technically still around. But yeah,
I I'm curious where this is gonna go. So I'm
trying to avoid spoilers, but I've already run into one, unfortunately,

(15:27):
and which is wild because I'm not even on social
media anymore. But just doing research for this show means
that sometimes I'm popping on sites that have a headline
that it contains a spoiler. By the way, that's a
spoiler for one of our stories today. But anyway, Squid
Game episodes one and two of season three were compelling.

(15:49):
I look forward to finishing out the series. But that's
about it. Everything else I've been I've just been really
busy working or you know, watching like you two videos
or whatever, nothing particularly geeky.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
Recovering from our vacation.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yeah, recovering well, Like the vacation was a lot of fun.
If I hadn't had to cook so much, it would
have been more relaxing for me.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
It wasn't bad.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Like, I don't want to say that I was stressed
out the whole time, but like, I want to make
food that people enjoy, so I put a lot of
pressure on myself when I'm making food, and I feel that. Yeah,
I think everything I made was okay at least okay
to pretty good.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Right, So everything you made was delicious, Jonathan, thank you.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
But anyway, yeah, it is kind of a come down
to come back. But the nice thing is I had
so many leftovers that I haven't had to make anything
this week.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
That's really nice. I have had to cook this week.
I brought home some leftovers, but not not a huge amount.
But hey, hey, in one more weekend. It's another long weekend,
that's true. Yeah, it's a fourth of July and the
beaches will be open. Woo. Just just to have your shark.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Repellent, yeah, have your bat shark repellent, have your bat
shark repellent.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
Have you ever watched the nineteen sixties Batman movie, the
Adam West Yes movie, Oh yes, yeah, because he has
he has the bat shark repellent in that one. It's
also that's also the one where he has the line
that's something like, you know, some days it's just impossible
to get rid of a bomb or something like that.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
It's great. No, I was just gonna say that version
of Batman has my favorite Riddler, so of course I've watched. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
Yeah, Well, let us move along to thirty seconds or
less because we have a huge number of stories for
thirty seconds or less. But the nice thing is we
won't be dwelling on them. We will we will go
through as quickly as we can.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
Yes. So the first I start, huh because Jonathan put
me first. There's no really holl about it. Okay. So
the first is that we're getting a new TV show,
Very Young Frankenstein, based off of mel Brooks's Young Frankenstein,
which is a hilarious movie. If you haven't watched it,
it's one of my favorite of his. Honestly, it is
going to be the showrunner is Stephanie Robinson. And the

(18:18):
pilot director is Taiko Atiti, which is in Garrett goshkir
the team behind what we do in The Shadows. So
that's exciting because that's also a very fun show that
deals with kind of spoopy stuff. I don't think it's
going to be mel Brooks as a young guy, younger guy.
The current theory is that it's going to be like

(18:39):
the grandson or whatever of not mel Brooks, the grandson
of Gene Wilder's character, so Frederick Frankenstein. Yeah, so I'm
tentatively excited about it.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
Well, The Hollywood Reporter published an article revealing that John
the Punisher Burnhal will be joining the cast of Spider
Man Brand New Day. This is interesting because Brenthal has
vocally argued that The Punisher should be an R rated character,
you know, someone who's willing to inflict extreme violence. That
doesn't seem to mesh that well with Spidery in my opinion.

(19:15):
So there are also rumors that this one could feature
multiple villains in the story and maybe even a Hulk
or two.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
Exciting if if you don't like New School Spider Man
but you like old school, well you're in luck because
Fathom Events is bringing the Sam Raimi Spider Man's back
to the theaters. You can see Spider Man one, two,
and three on concurrent nights, so either the twenty sixth,
twenty seventh, and twenty eighth of September or October third, fourth,

(19:44):
and fifth. I couldn't have said that in a more
awkward way. The very interesting thing is that the second
Spider Man will actually be Spider Man two point one,
which is a four K extended cut, that it's going
to be debuting in theaters for the first time ever.
So I remember seeing the original Sam Reimi Spider Man
in theaters and it was exciting because it was kind

(20:06):
of like new at that time. So yes, when it
came out, it was new, you know what, like the
whole like swinging through the buildings. It was so well
done and anyhow, it was quite an experience. I may
go back and watch them actually, because that sounds like fun.
Switching to DC, James Watkins will direct the Clayface live

(20:29):
action feature, and Welsh actor Tom rees Harris will play
the titular role.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
The Ruber plot is that a workhorse actor in B
movies injects himself with an experimental substance to stay relevant,
you know, like in the Substance, and that turns him
into a monster, you know, like in the Substance. So
why didn't they just get to me more?

Speaker 1 (20:51):
She's already done it. Why didn't they just name the
substance Clayface? James Bond's new director has been announced. It's
no longer Broccoli is VILLAINO Phillip Dennis Dennis v of
Dune and Arrival and Blade Runner fame. I can't talk today.

(21:15):
That's how often can I talk on the show anyhow. Yeah,
he's going to be directing the new Bond. I think
I really loved Arrival. Of all of his films, that's
my favorite that I've seen. I hope that he's able
to make it less slow than his normal pacing though well.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Captain Kirk will be resurrected for a comic book series
called The Last Starship. This is the Kirk who previously
shuffled off the Mortal Transporter back in Star Trek generations.
That Kirk's been dead since nineteen ninety four, with all
other Kirk stories being prequels. So what brings him back
to life? Meets me, But he wakes up to find

(21:57):
the Federation on the verge of collapse. So he commented,
there's a starship with an all new crew to fix
things or die try and again.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
BBC got into a little bit of hot water is
not the right word. People were upset at them because
one of their headlines gave away a plot point, a
minor spoiler, minor major. I don't know, it was minor
to me about the end of Judy Gatt was doctor
who he retired after this current season in the finale,

(22:29):
and there was a reveal and they ended up putting
that reveal in a headline. They've now said that they
will be more mindful, but they also said, like, we
trust our reporters and if it's important, we're going to
put in the headline. So it was kind of like
a salty apology.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Yeah, I mean they not to dance around the issue.
They gave away who the doctor regenerated into. So yes,
the actor who's playing the Yeah, anyway, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
We don't always still don't have a huge amount of
what's of information on that. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Sarah Michelle Geller gave an interview to Vanity Fair about
the upcoming Buffy reboot. Geller will reprise the role of
Buffy and there will be a new Slayer played by
Ryan Kira Armstrong. Geller says her dream is to quote
bring back everyone who has died quote from the original series,
so that could include and this is a spoiler alert

(23:24):
if you haven't watched Buffy, Aunya, Tara, Joyce, Cordelia, Winifred, Jenny,
and hey, do you notice how all those names are
for women? Joss Whedon? What a feminist? Sorry, I had
to take a second to move on from that frustration.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
Okay, Noah Gardner and Aiden Fitzgerald are writing Magic the Gathering,
the movie I previously have worked on, apparently a Power
Rangers movie, and an Aquaman spinoff called The Trench, and
a thriller The Patient, and a TV show called Trancelors.
I tried to look up their IMDb because often that

(24:05):
helps me figure out what else they've written, and I
either didn't find the right ones or they don't have
a lot of credits, which is not a bad thing
to me. I like lesser known talent really getting their shot.
Here's hoping they can make a cool movie out of
the game.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
In an interview with Rolling Stone, James Gunn shared his
opinion regarding why the film industry is having some trouble.
He said, it's dying not because people don't want to
see movies, but because quote, people are making movies without
a finished screenplay end quote. I think you can look
at Marvel and see some of that going on. You know,
movies get greenlit before a story's actually finished. Sometimes that

(24:42):
can work out anyway, but most of the time it doesn't.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
So I'm with gun on this one. Me too. Steven
Spielberg often doesn't have problems with people seeing his movies,
and that's good because he has said at a recent
theater dedication to him that he never, ever, ever, ever
ever plans to retire. He's going to be come back
as a zombie and continue making movies. Forty seconds yeap.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Legendary Entertainment is producing a live action Street Fighter film,
and so far the cast is well that as diverse
as the video game series is.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
Actually.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
Orville Peck, the masked country music star and recent MC
and Cabaret, is set to play Vega. Jason Appuaman Momoa
is playing Blanca. Noah Centennial is ken w w e
Wrastler Roman Reigns is a Kuma and Rapper fifty cent
has been tapped to play pro boxer Balog Kital Sakurai

(25:39):
will direct, and I am intrigued me too.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
Sadly, no Ral Julia rest in peace. Disney has reported
they're making Li Lo and Stitch to live action. This
is not a surprise. The movie did very well, although
some people at our weekend cabin were a little salty
about the live action version of it, to say the least.
I still haven't seen it. I hope that. I think

(26:05):
the cartoon had a couple of sequels. I kind of
hope they tred new ground. If they're making a second
live action se well.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
Considering how the live action film ends, they've got a
lot to answer for.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
But I we'll go into it further.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
Well, it's been forty five years since the first Friday
the Thirteenth film came out, and that's the one where
Missus Vorhees sought revenge for her not quite drowned son Jason.
Of course, Jason would become the focus of all the
future films all the way up to the two thousand
and nine reboot, but he has rested easy since two
thousand and nine, but not anymore.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
Mike P.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
Nelson announced he has filmed as short titled sweet Revenge
that we'll see Jason return on the Jason Universe YouTube
channel late this summer.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
That is it for our thirty seconds or less? Yeah,
a whole bunch of stories.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
So we've got a munch also in the stuff that
doesn't fit category, and some in our movie lineup, some
of which are are our lineup rather some of which
I would argue would better fit in the stuff that
doesn't fit category?

Speaker 1 (27:12):
Do you want to move any of that over?

Speaker 2 (27:14):
No, We're gonna do it the way it's written, and
I'll just be I'll just be a jerk about it. No,
it's because there's some stuff that's like I don't like.
There's there's an adaptation of a historical fiction novel that
is it is a historical fiction, but it's not like
fantasy or science fiction. It does have some elements to

(27:37):
the filmmaking that kind of evoke those feelings, but it's
not supposed.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
To be magical. I think I know what you're talking about,
and I will have a rebuttal for you. The only
one that I think could have moved into stuff that
doesn't fit and I meant to move it there because
I was just adding stuff quickly.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
Was the trailer for Roofman, but Roofman definitely could fit
in there. Yeah, all right, well, well it doesn't matter.
We're gonna go with what's already written down because I've
got my notes in that order, and if we change it,
I'll have to scroll back and forth. So first up,
I put in a trailer for The Strangers, chapter two.

(28:15):
So chapter one came out back in twenty twenty four.
The original The Strangers, I think came out in like
two thousand and eight.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
Yeah, But in my brain, I'm like, either either the
original came out a lot later or this one has
already come out, because I feel like we've talked about
the first one more recently than this.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
We talked about chapter one because that trail because it
came out last year. So one, Chapter one came out
last year, and I was complaining at the time that,
at least based on the trailers, chapter one looked like
it was pretty much the same as the first The Strangers.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
Which is also weird because if the first one should
be called chapter one, this should be chapter three.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Well, actually it'd be more than that, because there were
other direct sequels to The Strangers, the one that came
out in two thousand and eight, so this is kind
of a reboot trilogy. This is the second one in
that reboot trilogy, although the director has said no, it's
set in the same like timeline as the others. So
apparently there's something in the water at this remote rural

(29:24):
location that just drives young people to becoming sociopath killers.
But yeah, so if you're not familiar with The Strangers,
the basic premise of both the original film and The
Strangers Chapter one, two different movies. The basic premise is
that a couple is in a house and they are
terrorized by three young people who are like total sociopaths

(29:48):
who are torturing and killing them for no reason. Like
they literally say, the reason we're doing this is because
you are here.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
And you know, from like a meta textual level, it's
kind of like looking at the world in a post
nine to eleven lens, where you know people are dying
for what seems to be no reason, and that's what
this film is kind of about. Well, Chapter two sees
the female character from the first chapter from chapter one,
uh waking up in a hospital, but the hospital has

(30:20):
now been mysteriously emptied of hospital staff and instead there
are psychopaths stalking the halls, And as I watched this trailer,
I was like, this looks dumb to me.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
Thanks, I hate it.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
Yeah, I didn't find it particularly scary. I also didn't
find it compelling. I just find it like like, it
makes me ask lots of questions, like, how do you
get to a point where you can empty a hospital
of everyone unless it's literally an abandoned hospital and you've
somehow managed to get hold of the unconscious person and

(30:59):
brought them to a different place than where they were
supposed to go.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
Hey, you figured out the movie. That's possibly it. I
don't know. The film is quote unquote coming soon. Yeah.
You also put in a trailer for train Wreck balloon Boy,
which is about so back in the annals of history,
not that two thousand and nine recent history. Right after
The Strangers came out, there was a guy who made

(31:26):
a giant, like giant UFO looking weather balloon and launched
it into the air and then said that his six
year old had climbed up inside it. It was in
this balloon and the balloon was not being controlled, So
that was a pretty scary thing. And then it turned
out to be a hoax, and now there's a documentary.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
Yeah, so this is part of the train Wreck series.
There's actually a few different train Wreck documentaries that are
on Netflix already, so this is one of the most
recent ones. It's coming out on July fifteenth.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
And yeah, so.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
There was this whole thing where the police were investigating
after the balloon finally came down to the ground, but
there was no child found aboard it, which scared people
again because people were wondering if maybe the child had
fallen out at some point, and like the whole nation
was focused on this, like this was dominating the twenty
four hour news cycle over the hours when it was happening.

(32:21):
Like I remember people at work taking time to watch
this story instead of doing work because it was so like,
you know, you were hoping that the kid's okay, and
it turned out the kid was hiding in the attic
the whole time.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
And then.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
The kid later actually essentially said to police that the
idea was he was supposed to hide in the basement
and this was all for it, quote unquote the TV show.
And so this ended up having like an investigation going
to the parents and accuse them of misleading public officials
and all that kind of stuff. The parents pled guilty,

(32:57):
and then later the dad recanted that that he had
been pressured to plead guilty, and then the wife had said, no,
like here's proof, here's like instructions that he wrote down.
Then he says, oh, I wrote that down after the fact,
Like it's just a bunch of crazy misinformation stuff going
back and forth.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
A train wreck.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
Would you say it was a train wreck? And so
that's what this documentary is tackling, is not just the
story of the initial like spectacle, but the fallout that
happened as a result of it.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
Yeah, so that'll be interesting if you like documentary shape stuff.
Less interesting to me, honestly, is the trailer for Ice
Road Vengeance, because you would think for a sequel to
Ice Road, you would have icier roads. There is an
Icy Road at the end of the trailer, Yes, but

(33:50):
it should be I also name your sequels better, so
this one should be Ice Road less Icy, No, nicy.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
I didn't even know this was a sequel. I didn't
know there was a previous film called Ice Road.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
Maybe maybe there isn't. I thought for sure that Lee
so it stars Liam Neeson, and I thought for sure
that he did some other ice based Taken type movie.
I mean he was, he was in that Wolf movie.
But oh there was The Ice Road, a twenty twenty
one action thriller that was an hour and forty three
minutes from all of those pictures. It's a very icy landscape.

(34:28):
Was Liam Neeson in that one too? Yes, he started
that one I had, so it is a sequel. I
had no idea to that movie. I saw this trailer
and I was like, oh, this has Taken meets Speed,
and the original Ice Road looks like Taken meets Ice
Road truckers, so gotcha.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
Yeah, this looks dumb, like dumb, dumb, dumb, like not
even fun dumb. It's it's coming out. Well, it came
out today, June twenty seventh, is one recording, and it
came out today and some quote unquote select theaters comes
out on video on demand on July first, which should
tell you everything you need to know.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
I mean we didn't see anything about it prior.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
So yeah, I just I watched this trailer and I
thought this, it's reminded me of all these other movies
like Taken, Speed and Nobody, the Bob Odenkirk movie.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
It reminded me of that.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Too, and none of it didn't look like it was
doing anything better than those movies have done.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
So maybe I'm wrong.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
Maybe it's just a trailer that doesn't resonate with me,
but I think this is one I'll be giving a miss.
I just wanted to include it because I thought it
was so ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (35:41):
Yes, yes, for sure, Like I said, ice, ice road
less icy no nicey. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
Next up, we have a trailer for a movie, and
I told Ariel not to watch this trailer. So Ariel,
did you watch this trailer?

Speaker 1 (35:57):
So going through before we started, remember you watching everything
or watching the new stuff, because we'll add stuff last
minute sometimes and throw each other off. I clicked on
it and got five seconds in before I went nope, nope,
this is the one I wasn't supposed to watch, and
I turned it off. So okay, good. I know it
affected the adults and not the children, and that's it.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
Yes, okay, so you know a bit of the premise.
So this is Please Don't Feed the Children is the
name of the film. It's a to be original. It
also comes out today and I told Ariel not to
watch it because she has one of her ick factors
is cannibalism, and there appears to be some cannibalism in

(36:39):
this movie. It's at least hinted at if it's not cannibalism.
The trailer is incredibly misleading, but it's like a post
apocalypse picture where some sort of pandemic has swept at
least the region that this film is taking place in,
and it affects adults but not dren and so some

(37:01):
of the adults who have survived this pandemic now blame
children for being like carriers but not suffering from it.
Like they said, the children are the reason why this
is happening. So this group of kids makes an escape
from where couldn't say, but they're making an escape, and

(37:23):
they come across a secluded house run by a pleasant
english woman or a seemingly pleasant english woman, who welcomes
them in even though she says she's not supposed to
let children inside her house, and then she proceeds to
drug them and plan to do awful things with them,

(37:44):
potentially grinding one of them up into meat, which she
then serves in pies.

Speaker 1 (37:49):
So it's vaguely handseling, gretelish, and vaguely sweeny toddish.

Speaker 2 (37:54):
Yeah, and it looks like she views one of the
young girls, young women, as a potential replacement for her daughter.
Like that seems to be a part of it too.
Giancarlo Esposito plays a supporting character in it. I have
to say, Okay, so I watched this, and you know,
to be originals tend to be pretty darn low budget,

(38:17):
you know pictures, they're not really that that elaborate. And
keeping that in mind, I watched this and thought, this
trailer doesn't look terrible to me. I don't know that
I'm going to watch it, but it looks like it
could be at least a decent horror picture.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
But I'll have to watch it. I could do it today.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
I have to watch it if I want to find
out have fun with that one. The last one, though,
I thought, was one that you might find interesting.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
Definitely, and it's one that I think, based on our metrics,
should belong in our normal show notes.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
It could go either way. I debated on this one.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
Yeah, so it is for a movie called A two.
And if that sounds familiar, it's because it's about putting
on a really bad like Julius Caesar kind of play
a director who can't watch his own play because he
thinks it's so so bad and also thinks his wife
is having an affair with the lead actor in it.

(39:23):
But there's more bizarre and nefarious stuff actually going on. Yeah,
so this is a dark comedy thriller film. Lou Diamond
Phillips plays the aggrieved director who who finds he makes
me think of the director from Noises Off, who's just

(39:44):
becoming increasingly frustrated with his cast, who he feels are
butchering Shakespeare. He's like, there, we need them to do
something that is worthy of the play of Shakespeare and
theater general. Also, Malcolm McDowell is in it. He plays

(40:04):
a janitor who appears to have some dark like advice
for Lou Diamond phillips character. I love Malcolm McDowell. So
as I was watching this, it was like, I can't
quite get my finger on how much of a of
a comedy this is. Like, there may just be a
lot of dark humor and it's not really a comedy.

(40:27):
The feeling I get is it might be somewhere in
the heathers category. Yeah, I think so too. So this
premiered back in twenty twenty three and did the film
festival circuit. So the reason we're talking about it now
is because it's getting an actual release.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
Yeah, on July twenty fifth. It's a digital release, so
I don't think it's going to theaters. I think it's
going to be video on demand. But it comes out
July twenty fifth. I think it had some very limited
release in some theaters, but it didn't come.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
Here select theaters starting on July twenty fifth for showing
dot net, So I guess we'll have to see. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:03):
But yeah, that that one I think looks appealing to me.
I like the trailer.

Speaker 1 (41:08):
Yeah, yeah, it looks. It looks it looks thrillery but
also fun. Yeah, not a heart wrenchingly horrific. Yeah, which
is a very different metric for Jonathan and I so
like to take true.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
Yeah, it takes a lot to wrench my heart. Actually
doesn't take a lot. It just takes the right thing.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
Like if it's like, if it's something where it's like
a sweet story about you know, a child and their pet,
then forget it. I'm gonna the water works are coming
on immediately, So for sure. Well let's let's move on
to what is in our actual lineup. And keeping in
mind that the barrier between that and the stuff that
doesn't fit is getting hazier with every episode. But we

(41:51):
start off with another trailer for I Know What You
Did Last Summer? I know that. I We're supposed to
kind of avoid just talking about trailer variants after week,
but this one gave a bit more information about our
potential victims. Yeah, no, young people who did a stupid

(42:12):
thing by running down either yet another supernatural fisherman or
perhaps the same one from the original films.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
We don't know. Yeah, I did, really what this It's like,
it's like those old fairy tales. And I had a
friend recently tell me that current generations don't know fairy tales,
and I refuse to believe that's true. But it's fairy
tales were originally a cautionary tale, Like we're cautionary tales
if you didn't know, And so this is a cautionary

(42:41):
tale of if you do something wrong, fess up to it.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
Yeah, don't try to hide it and run from it.
So in both the I Know What You Did Last
Summer original film and in this reboot, it has a
group of young adults or teenagers kind of hard to say,
because I mean everybody who's playing a teenagers in their
mid to late twenties. Anyway, They're in a car and

(43:08):
they're not really paying attention, and they hit someone who's
walking on the road who's dressed in like like like
period New England fishermen gear, like not the kind of
stuff you would see a typical modern person wearing. And
then they they make it a hit and run. They

(43:28):
flee the scene, and then like the next year, they
get messages saying I Know what you did last summer
and they're being stalked by this unstoppable killing machine. We
also got to see a lot more of Freddie Prinz
Junior and Jennifer Love Hewitt, who were both in the
original I Know What You Did Last Summer, so they
were apprising their roles. They're playing the same characters, to

(43:50):
the point where Jennifer Love Hewitt even does a new
take on her famous line what was it like what
are you waiting for?

Speaker 1 (44:00):
Line?

Speaker 2 (44:01):
As if you're asking, as if I know I was
asking because I was trying to jog my own memory.

Speaker 1 (44:06):
Okay to say I did not watch the first I
will not watch the second. It's it was also parodied
in scary movie and Scream, right, no love Scream. Honestly,
Scream came first, and then I Know What you did
last summer was kind of writing on the coattails of Scream.
So Scream kind of brought in a new era of

(44:29):
slasher movies, which had largely kind of been dormant before
Scream came on. And then you had a lot of
different movies that tried to cash in on that same
kind of aesthetic and story, and I Know What you
did last summer was one of many that did that.
And I've always maintained that It's It's it does not
compare well to Scream. Scream is a better movie and

(44:52):
a better movie franchise generally than I Know What you
did last summer. That being said, I still got a
soft spot in my heart now what you did last summer,
because they had some fun kills in it, and you
had some great like actor Sarah Michelle Geller was in
one of those. So yeah, yeah, I do like, I
do like the cast. I just I haven't. I didn't

(45:13):
watch Scream until like the last five years. We put
it on for a Halloween movie. So now I've seen
Scream one, two, and three, three. He's my favorite. Yeah,
so you saw it. You saw it in the last
five years.

Speaker 2 (45:24):
Does that mean you watch the movies backwards and then
you are half the movies backwards, you watch the other
half of the movies forwards and it meet in the
middle as the last five years.

Speaker 1 (45:33):
Joke, I probably could for as much as I follow them.

Speaker 2 (45:38):
Uh, that's a joke for our musical theater fans out
there and everybody else.

Speaker 1 (45:42):
I apologize, And I realized it's controversial to say I
like the third Scream the best, but it's the goofiest,
so it's the least scary, so it's it's the most
fun for me. It's the last.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
It's the last one I've seen. I haven't watched the
more recent maybe that maybe I saw four. I can't
remember if I saw four or not. I know i've
seen the first three. I will I will try to
watch some more of them.

Speaker 1 (46:06):
I am gonna have to start doing like parental review
or something like that, just to make sure that I
do that for scary movies to determine whether I can
watch them or not, like, because it will outline the
scary things that happen, and I can determine whether or
not those are going to upset me too much or not.
But yeah, so I did. I thought I thought Scream

(46:26):
was because I know what you did last summer came out,
So thank you for correcting me. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
So yeah, it looks okay, like you know, I guess
if you're into that kind of slasher movie stuff, this
looks like I mean, it certainly looks like it's a
well produced movie. I can't say that it's it's grabbed
me enough for make me want to watch it, because
I just feel that I feel like there's not enough

(46:54):
to those films to really pull me in, to hook
me to was a pun. I don't think there's enough
to hook me to watch. I know what you did
last summer, but I do think it's it looks like
they spent some decent money on making it, so there's
that at least. We also got a trailer for season

(47:15):
two of Wednesday, which was kind of cute.

Speaker 1 (47:19):
Yeah, so it's again like we've got a few things
that it's not the first trailer of. And I know
he said, like Johnas said, we weren't going to do
much of those, but the ones this time at least
give more information. So this one is actually kind of
like a commercial for the Academy that Wednesday goes to
Nevermore with the new head of the Academy, who is

(47:43):
played by Steve Bushmi. I want to say, he looks
less awkward the.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
Older he gets. Yeah, his character name is apparently I
think Barry Dort is what he says. I didn't have
credit close caption on, so I'm not entirely certain, but yeah,
and he talks about how he wants to return the
school to its outcast roots, and I thought it was cute.

(48:08):
I thought it was weird because it feels like the
entire trailer is done in adr like. I don't think
any of that sound was picked up on set. It
seemed like everything was a recorded line that was matched
to the mouth movements of the original take. Maybe I'm
wrong about that, It just felt that way to me.
I still watched the first season of Wednesday, and the

(48:30):
people I talked to who have seen it tell me
they're like, the performances are fun, but the story. They
didn't like the story very much, And so I just
haven't gotten around to watching it. But I'm hopeful that
the second season will be better. I know that Jenna
Ortega took a much more active role in developing the
story for season two.

Speaker 1 (48:49):
Yeah, I'm excited solely for that reason because I watched
about half of the first season. The storyline was fine.
It was generic GoF teenager academy drama, which I say
because we also got like Sabrina and you know, a
bunch of other stuff like that. So the storyline was okay.
The acting was good exception of Mortitia and Gomez, which

(49:11):
those are two phenomenal actors, and I just felt like
their chemistry was lacking.

Speaker 2 (49:16):
Which is like, that's like you've got to have that
lightning chemistry between those two because you have to be
convinced that they would literally do anything for each other.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
And it's it's not even that I didn't believe that
they wouldn't do that. I believed that those characters love
each other. And I think that the two actresses who
are two actresses, the two actors who played them are
like I said, very very good. I think it's maybe
it was missing like some quickness, quippiness, or some verve
or just just lacking. There wasn't a comedic edge there.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
Yeah, I'm curious about season two. Maybe I'll watch it
and not even bother watching the first season, or maybe
i'll like read like a synops. I know that One
of the other things one of my friends said was
that in in fact, I think it was Shay who
had said that there was some behind the scenes issues
with one of the actors, and uh, like there was

(50:13):
like a love triangle thing set up, and like there's
two potential love interests, and the one that ends up
being the bad guy ended up being the actor who
is actually a pretty decent person, and the one who
ended up being the actual love interest ended up being
an actor who did some things that were not decent,
which means that unfortunately, like the casting of that means that, well,

(50:38):
you've got to figure out what you're going to do
in season two if you're not bringing that actor back
and you've dispatched the actor who was it was a
decent person, but playing the bad guy.

Speaker 1 (50:49):
I mean, it's Wednesday, it's Adam's family. You can undispatch somebody.
But that is unfortunate to hear. I do, I do.
I didn't hear any of those rumors about bad behavior
on set, so I do believe them.

Speaker 2 (51:03):
Yeah, I to be clear, this is also like third
hand information at this point, Shaye told me something, and
I could be completely misremembering, so I don't want to
throw her under the bus either. I could be misremembering that.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
I do remember reports saying that Jenna Ortega didn't feel
there was a need for a romantic interest or storyline
or something like that in season right now, that I agree.
I agree with that. I agree with that too. That
also could have changed since that article came out, but
I guess we will have to see or at least
read about it. We also got a second trailer for Weapons,

(51:38):
which is the new Zach Kreeger movie.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
Yeah, this is the one where the children get out
of bed in the middle of the night and then
go running out across town with their arms spread off
to the sides and turn Yeah. It turns out it's
seventeen children who all belonged to the same classroom at
the local school, and those are the only ones who disappeared.
So of course suspicion turns on the teacher, who seems

(52:01):
to be innocent and just as concerned about what's happening
with the children as everybody else. But of course she's
the one who's in the crosshairs because she's the common
point between all these children. This trailer looks pretty spooky
and scary. We also get to see another person who
wants to turn their face into hamburger using a fork,

(52:25):
so it's not just the female character. There's a male
character who's doing it in this one.

Speaker 1 (52:30):
Yep. I I like that these trailers are doing a
good job of slowly releasing like little bits of tidbits
more about the story to let to give you a
better idea of what's happening with it. Doesn't feel like
it feels like they aren't ruining the story. Yeah, they haven't.
They haven't given.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
Away the secret right Like, yeah, I I still feel
like I could go and see this and still be
surprised by the reveal. Same same, except you'll never go
see it.

Speaker 1 (53:05):
I acted this one.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
I might, Oh, Okay, I was just gonna say, like,
no one's going to see this one. I know Shay
won't because it has children being put into.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
Danger, so I I will have to do a parental review.

Speaker 2 (53:21):
And then you can get back to me. So this
one comes out August eighth, so we've got a little
time to determine. I think I'm gonna watch it. I
also liked in this trailer, there was a moment where
there's like, assuming this all happens in the same span,
because you can never tell a trailer's right. They can
splice together different things and make it look like it's
one scene when it's really two separate parts of a movie.

(53:43):
But it looks like there's two adults just kind of
staring motionless down a hallway, and then there's a line
of salt between them and a young boy who is
slowly moving to cross the line of salt. And I'm like, well,
that's kind of interesting that have the line of salt
because obviously that's like a common trope in supernatural stories, right,

(54:05):
that that salt provides a barrier of protection between you
and a supernatural evil. So I thought that was interesting
to have that little detail thrown in there too.

Speaker 1 (54:16):
Yeah, yeah, that Yes, I'll chat more with you about
this movie afterwards so we can determine if I want
to see it with you.

Speaker 2 (54:27):
Sure, I don't blame anyone for I mean, this looks intense.
It looks like an intense film.

Speaker 1 (54:32):
So I know it also looks very like suspenseful. Yeah.
Becca's not going to see it with me.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
She noped out after the first trailer, Shaye's not going
to see it with me because I wouldn't want to
torture her.

Speaker 1 (54:45):
So yeah, I have friends who nope out over completely
different reasons for movies, one of those being any movie
directed by Yes, You're the most thank you. Yeah. Another
name I have to pull up so I can pronounce
it correctly. Uh yeah.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
So Yorgos Lanthomos, who directed Poor Things and Kind Kinds
of Kindness, has a new film coming out, Bogonia, and
like Kinds of Kindness, it has two of the actors
who appeared in that movie, Emma Stone and Jesse Plemmons.
They were both like, I'm getting the feeling that Lanthomos

(55:25):
is another one of those actors who kind of accumulates
a roster of actors that he just really likes to
work with, Because, like Willem Dafoe has been in multiple projects,
Emma Stone's been in like four of them at this point.
She was in The Favorite, she was in Poor Things,
she was in Kinds of Kindness.

Speaker 1 (55:42):
Was she in the Lobster? No, I don't.

Speaker 2 (55:45):
I don't think she was in the Lobster, but she was.
She's been in four Wait, if you count Bogonia. So
do you do you want to take a stab at
saying what do you think this movie is about? Based
on the trailer, Uh.

Speaker 1 (55:58):
It's it's about you guys who believe that the CEO
of the powerful female CEO of a comfort company is
actually an alien and so they abduct her. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (56:10):
So Jesse Plemons plays one of those two guys. Emma
Stone plays the CEO character. There's some narration from Jesse
Blemons about worker bees and queen bees, which is interesting
because at least in bee colonies, those are all female
only the drones are male. Yeah, and yeah, the whole

(56:31):
alien thing is wild. It looks like it's another sort
of either a thriller with some dark comedy elements, or
you might just call it a dark comedy. It's it
looks weird, but then so does all of Lanthamos's stuff.
Like Lanthimos just makes weird movies.

Speaker 1 (56:49):
Yeah, yeah, and not necessarily very uplifting, although some people
would argue that some of them are. I the only
one of his movies that I have personally watched is
Poor Things, Because I and that movie. You would say, Ariel,
that movie's not really for you, and you would be right. However,

(57:11):
from a acting standpoint and listening to Emmastone talk about
the way that she developed her character and had to
go about acting her character, I felt like I needed
to watch it as an actor, as like a educational experience,
and it was really impressive.

Speaker 2 (57:27):
She also came up with her dance in that she
does in Kinds of Kindness while she was working on
Poor Things, because she talked about she did this, I
think it was on Fallon. She talked about how in
between shots she'd be in a different room just waiting,

(57:47):
and she likes to keep her energy up by still
moving around a lot, like not to sit down because
then she has to get her energy back up for
shooting scenes and stuff. So to move around she would
just do stuff like like just do a wacky dance
or whatever. And her friend caught her doing it on
camera while she was in Poor Things costume, makeup, hair,

(58:08):
all that stuff. And then if you watch that video
which she shared on Fallon, it's almost exactly what she
does in the Kinds of Kindness scene, Like if you
watch the trailer for that, you probably saw a sequence
of her dancing in a parking like like a little
parking lot and I was just like, oh, Lanthamos apparently

(58:30):
saw the video and said, we're gonna put that in
the next movie.

Speaker 1 (58:35):
Nice. Nice, I didn't see kinds of kindness. I have
to read.

Speaker 2 (58:41):
That's a wild one. It's so it's three separate stories
with actors playing different characters, but it's the same actors, right,
So like Plemon's plays three different characters at least three,
as I recall, and the stories are only of connected.

Speaker 1 (59:01):
So it's almost like a h An anthology of three
independent stories. And they're all I mean, they're all Lanthema's stories.
They're all weird. H yeah, yeah, uh. Interesting fun fact
from watching drop Out. Krtey Katie Merovitch's favorite movie is
like the Killing of the Sacred Deer, Killing of a

(59:22):
Sacred Wow, that's that's hard to watch. I think. I
think I'm recalling that correctly.

Speaker 3 (59:29):
Wow, that's I mean, props, props, I guess. But that
is another one I haven't. It talks about an animal dying,
so obviously I have not watched it.

Speaker 1 (59:40):
Well, it's it's more complicated than that, but yeah, I'm sure,
I'm well, it's it's anathemas. It certainly is more complicated
than that. Uh, but yeah, very interesting, but the log
line for it is interesting to me. I'm not gonna
lie I include it because aliens.

Speaker 2 (01:00:02):
Yeah yeah, I mean totally. Like Lanthemos is a director
that I feel like I should like his work more
because it's so it's very it's visionary, and it's bold, right,
Like it's not it's not your normal stuff, but it

(01:00:22):
also does. It's also it's challenging, which is not a
bad thing, but sometimes I feel it's directly challenging you
to like it. Yeah, Like I dare you to like
this movie.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
I'm like, I don't know that I'm up for that.
Dare Yeah, Now I I have to I have to
double check myself about Wow, well yes she is, she
is public Okay. I wanted to make sure that Killing
of a Sacred Dear was Katie Marriwch's favorite movie because

(01:00:55):
I said it was and it is. Anyhow, the next
movie we have is called The Roofman. Uh, Fighter of
the Floor Man. No, it is called the Roofman, but
it has nothing to do with always Sunny Day Man
nightmaan No, but it is based off a true story.

Speaker 2 (01:01:13):
It is.

Speaker 1 (01:01:15):
About kind of like a convict con man who is
not very good at it but is also very smart,
who escaped prison and hides out.

Speaker 2 (01:01:28):
Yeah, so this is a story about Jeffrey Manchester. And
if you were watching the news back in the day,
Jeffrey Manchester made a name for himself because he would
he would break into places by cutting or drilling a
hole through the roof of the place, us getting the
nickname the roofman, and dropping into places, and typically it

(01:01:51):
was a McDonald's like he did. He robbed a lot
of McDonald's, like I think, like a couple of dozen
different McDonald's locations over the course of his criminal career,
and he would hide and wait for the morning shift
to come in and wait to hear things were going
before he would pop out with a gun. He would

(01:02:15):
strive to be non violent and apparently very polite, but
he would ussure people to go into the walk in
freezer and lock them in there, even asking making sure
that they were dressed warmly so they wouldn't suffer. Then
he would rob the place blind and then make a
break for it, and they called him the roofman because
he was always coming in through the roof. He eventually

(01:02:35):
got caught sent to prison, he escaped prison, this is
all true, and then he ended up moving into a
Toys r Us. He was hiding out inside the Toys
r Us and essentially slowly robbing the Toys r Us
while also planning robberies elsewhere while incorporating himself into the

(01:02:56):
local community. And this film is essentially a retailer of
that story while taking some, you know, some some dramatic liberties. Personally,
my favorite thing about this trailer was Peter Dnklidge.

Speaker 1 (01:03:10):
Yeah it does. It stars Channing Tatum and Peter Dinklage
and Gosh, I can't remember the Thord person. I mean,
stealing is bad, right, you shouldn't you shouldn't steal, you
shouldn't armed rob things.

Speaker 2 (01:03:26):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:03:28):
Kirsten Dunst. Kirsten Dunst is the person I was trying
to think of. I was like Claar Dain's, No, that's
not who it is. It's Kurston dunt who is in
Spider Man the Original. Uh, the Samuraimi. I don't know,
there's probably Spider Man's before that, but the Samurai Spider Man.
She was in that. She was Mary Jane.

Speaker 3 (01:03:44):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:03:44):
Yeah, don't stealing is bad? Armed robbery is bad, but
if you're gonna do it, I mean, I can't understand
why they've made a movie about this, because it is
an interesting story. You know, one being a super night
like you're robbing, but you don't want to hurt people.
You are hurting people by stealing from them. You're hurting
the corporations, but you don't want to hurt individuals, right,
and then moving into a toys r us It is

(01:04:04):
a bonker's story. I completely understand why they would have
made it. Sure, but it's also interesting because Channing Tatum
also did Logan Lucky, which is also about stealing from
a corporation. It's a very good movie. I highly recommend Logan.
We should remember that when we're talking about McDonald's, you're
stealing from the franchise e. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:04:25):
Yeah, you're not stealing from the McDonald's corporation. You're stealing
from yeah whichever business person. Yeah again, I am not
condoning stealing now. Granted, if they could just get those
gosh darn ice cream machines working, maybe we wouldn't target
them so much.

Speaker 1 (01:04:41):
Those freaking freakin' ice cream machine gremlins.

Speaker 2 (01:04:44):
I actually did an episode about that in tech stuff
to say, to talk about why those machines are never working,
and like that's a I mean, that's a whole nother racket, y'all.
It's interesting. But yeah, this looks like it's taking a
slightly tongue in cheek approach to telling the story and
considering again that he tried to avoid violence as much

(01:05:09):
as he possibly could, and that his crimes were not
directed at like, you know, ripping off little old ladies
who you know, were living off their pension checks or whatever.
I think it's fine to have that kind of fun
sort of angle to it. Manchester, the real guy is
still in prison to this day. His second I want

(01:05:31):
to say, he was sentenced to forty five years in
prison after after being caught the second time around, and
he has attempted to escape at least two or three
times since then.

Speaker 1 (01:05:41):
So goodness, this movie looks interesting to me. I honestly
think I'll probably watch it.

Speaker 2 (01:05:48):
And then next up we have a series, a trailer
for a series on Hulu. This is the one that
I was saying I could have put in the other
section as well, but you said you had a defense
for it. It's Washington. Black is the name of the series.

Speaker 1 (01:06:03):
Yeah, it's about a young slave on a Barbados plantation.
I'm reading the log Lane who scapes and goes on
a globe spanning adventure and the reason why I feel
First of all, yes, the trailer makes it feel fantastical
a little bit in the way they portray the adventures,
But to me, Gulliver's travels around the world in eighty

(01:06:25):
days are all things that I would put into a
geek category.

Speaker 2 (01:06:29):
Of like.

Speaker 1 (01:06:33):
Adventure and fantasy and exploring new worlds. And I don't
know how deep they'll dive into it, but it very
gave me. It very much gave me that sort of
a vibe.

Speaker 2 (01:06:42):
Yeah, this is based off a novel that was written
I think twenty eighteen, I think is when this book
came out as a Canadian author who wrote this, and
I'm vaguely familiar with the novel. I don't know how
closely the movie is going to adhere to the book,

(01:07:03):
but based on the trailer, it looked pretty faithful. I mean,
I'm sure it's going to have to compress a lot
of stuff in order to tell the story, but it
looked like it was following the general beats of the
story that I remember from the novel, and I think
it looks like it's very well made. I'm glad it's
a series and not just a movie, because if it

(01:07:24):
were just a movie, I think I may have even
said that a second ago, but like, if it were
just a movie, then you'd have to leave so much
more stuff out.

Speaker 1 (01:07:32):
Yeah, yeah, I I am very much interested in this.
It looks great. Sterling K. Brown is in it, not
as the titular character because that's a young young adult,
older child, but also executive produces it. Again, it just
follows into that period adventure geekdom. Also, I guess twenty

(01:07:56):
thousand Leagues Under the Sea I would put into that category,
even though that is definitely more fantastical or journey to
the Center of the Earth. It looks really good to me.

Speaker 2 (01:08:05):
I mean it looks again, it looks like it's incredibly
well made. So I'm certainly interested at least to hear
your take on it. Like, maybe I'll watch it too,
because me, like I said, I'm familiar with the novel,
so it'd be interesting to see how they adapt it.
And like I said, based on the trailer, it looked
like they did a pretty darn good job like nothing
stood out to me as being Oh, well, that's different.

Speaker 1 (01:08:27):
You say you're familiar with the novel in a positive
or negative way.

Speaker 2 (01:08:34):
I mean, I think it was well written, like it's
I don't know, maybe if it had been a little
more on the fantastical side, it would have resonated with
me more. But then I don't know that it would
have been as emotionally impactful. So it's hard to say
like I didn't I didn't feel that it spoke to

(01:08:56):
me on a deep level. But also it's in a
while since I've read it.

Speaker 1 (01:09:01):
So gotcha, gotcha something.

Speaker 2 (01:09:06):
And I don't know if you know this, arial but
between when I read it and now, I had a
little medical whoopsie.

Speaker 1 (01:09:12):
Oh I mean that's that's fine. Time has no meaning
to me. So thank you for clarifying that. It just,
you know, everything up there got scrambled a little bit,
is all I'm saying. Yeah, Hash Browns. Anyhow, if Historical
Adventures is your jam, maybe check it out. This next trailer.

(01:09:37):
We've talked a little bit about this. This one is
not for me, oh wow, because I saw this and
I was like, oh, this is the one that sold me. Really,
I mean, I think So the trailer is for The
Toxic Avenger, which is a Trauma film, one of James
gunns earlier's earlier works. Back. We've talked a little bit
about this on the show before, back when he was

(01:09:58):
trying to be like super edgy.

Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
To be fair, James Gunn and Trauma did Tromeo and Juliet.
He didn't do the Toxic He didn't do the Toxic Adventure. Okay,
Tromeo and Juliette.

Speaker 1 (01:10:10):
I did not like. I did see it. I can't
recommend it, but you know, uh, it's it was an edgy, weird,
kind of grody film. I would say that is getting
a remake. And all of the teasers up to this
point have felt super low budget, kind of like the

(01:10:30):
original did because they were B movies at the time,
for sure, But this trailer brings the budget up the
most ridiculous. So Peter Danklish plays a toxic toxic Oh whoo,
the Toxic Avenger Adventure. Yes, Toxic Avenger, thank you. I'm

(01:10:51):
putting a D in there. I don't know why.

Speaker 2 (01:10:53):
The Avenger. He's an ad man with a difference. He
john hams it up all over the screen.

Speaker 1 (01:11:06):
Yeah, so he's a janitor who's struggling to take care
of his kid. He's not getting paid enough, and he
realizes the company he's working for is doing some shady
stuff and gets turned into uh like the toxic Avenger.

Speaker 2 (01:11:23):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:11:24):
I don't know how else to put it. And yeah,
it's got a bizarre cast. Yeah it does.

Speaker 2 (01:11:33):
I mean, like, you know, you've got like Elijah Wood
playing a really creepy character makes me think of a
little bit of his character from Sin City, though he's
much more visually creepy in this.

Speaker 1 (01:11:46):
He looks like Danny DeVito's the Penguin in it kind of.

Speaker 2 (01:11:50):
Yeah, he's got bald on top and long, stringy black hair,
and but yeah, he's reminding me of is what gosh,
what was his character name in Sin City? I camera,
like a normal name, like Frank or something. I can't remember,
but it was.

Speaker 1 (01:12:05):
Going to look it up. I was going to, but
it's taking my computers being dumb. But Kevin, Kevin, that's I. Yeah,
it was a very normal name. I thought.

Speaker 2 (01:12:19):
I thought this trailer looked great. I thought that the
violence was particularly gratuitous in splattery in a way that
makes me think of classic trauma. So I found this
one pretty entertaining again, like Peter Dinklin was a highlight
for two different trailers for US this week, and this

(01:12:42):
comes out August twenty ninth. This was a movie that
for a while people were wondering if it was ever
going to come out, because like they shot this movie
like four or five years ago at least, So for
it to finally come out, it's pretty exciting.

Speaker 1 (01:12:57):
Yeah. It also has Kevin Bacon as one of the
bad guys. I think Elijah Whit is his lackey. Yeah,
I think so. Yeah. So I'm definitely gonna watch this.
I don't know that.

Speaker 2 (01:13:11):
Like, I'm hoping it's good and the trailer is not
just a collection of memorable moments and that's all it
has going for it.

Speaker 1 (01:13:20):
I hope that's not the case. I hope they don't
Phantom menace. This is what I'm saying, gotcha, gotcha something
I will see. We also have a final trailer for
Fantastic Four. Again. I added it because there's a bunch
of stuff in it that's not in the previous trailers.
Hopefully it won't Hopefully it won't spoil the movie. Hopefully

(01:13:42):
those aren't all the good bits. But this last trailer
shows it quite a bit more comedy.

Speaker 2 (01:13:47):
I would say, Yeah, it's got a lot of people
trying to set Ben Grem up to say it's Clober
in time, and he proclaims that he doesn't actually say that,
it's just something that's in the cartoon. So I love
that there is a cartoon version of the Fantastic Four
in this MCU, you know, multiverse variant.

Speaker 1 (01:14:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:14:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:14:09):
Also we get to see a little bit more personality
from Johnny Storm, which I think is nice, with mostly
him teasing Ben Grim, which is right on brand. Yeah. Yeah,
the more I see of this movie, the more into
it I am. It comes out really.

Speaker 2 (01:14:23):
Soon, so yeah, July twenty fifth. We got to see
a bit more of the Silver Surfer. We got to
see a lot of shadow and over the shoulder shots
of Galactus, but nothing showing.

Speaker 1 (01:14:35):
His face yet. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:14:39):
Yeah, I thought, I really like the aesthetic of this movie.
I think the aesthetic is corgeous. That retro futurism.

Speaker 1 (01:14:47):
I love it. Yeah. They've also recently done some edits.
I read this on Yahoo this morning. They've done some edits.
So it was going to be slightly over two hours.
Now it's slightly under two hours. I'm kind of a fan.
Hopefully it holds up. I am a fan in general
of movies that are under two hours, provided you can
tell your story in that time. Yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (01:15:10):
Like I like a movie to not have too much
padding or to feel like it's treading water, just so
that it can get to the point where the climax
can happen, because sometimes, like sometimes that's so noticeable that
you can articulate it right. You could say there's no reason,
like while you're watching it, at least if you're me.
While you're watching the movie, there can be moments where

(01:15:32):
you're thinking, there's no reason for this scene to exist.
You know, it's not developing the plot, we're not learning
anything new about the characters.

Speaker 1 (01:15:40):
It's just there.

Speaker 2 (01:15:41):
Why it must be there, because there must have been
a moment that the director or the editor particularly liked.
But if it's not adding anything to character or story,
I don't think it should be there necessarily. And I
I like the idea that maybe they tightened us up
a little bit, because some of the Marvel films do

(01:16:03):
come across as being a bit indulgent, and only a
few of the Marvel films feel like they have earned
the right to be indulgent.

Speaker 1 (01:16:12):
Yeah, yeah, for sure. But anyhow I am. I am
optimistic for this one. I love the aesthetic, I love
the cast. So even though I'm not ben Grim, I'll
get over it.

Speaker 2 (01:16:26):
Well, there's always there's always variants.

Speaker 1 (01:16:29):
There's always variants. Now I've got my eyes focused on,
you know, the new D and D television show coming
to Netflix. So yeah, maybe I'll start a viral camp
for that. It will go so well. The last thing
we got so a couple of weeks ago, Jonathan asked
me a question about what classic monster I would want rebooted,

(01:16:50):
and we both and he would want rebooted. We both
agreed the Creature from the Black Lagoon and James Wand
is working on a reboot for that, but we don't
have anything on that. We do have another Creature from
the Black Lagoon esque film that is coming out, has come.

Speaker 2 (01:17:07):
Out, is coming out coming out July twenty fifth. July
twenty fifth, another one of those busy days. Like I
think last week we talked about how like mid to
late July is just packed with releases that are coming out.
Some of them are coming out to just straight to digital,
some are going to the theaters. This one is called well,
the English title is Monster Island. Apparently there's another version

(01:17:30):
of it where it's called All Wrong. Ikon and Shutter
has picked up at least the distribution for here in
the States. And it's a film that's set in nineteen forties,
so World War two era in the South Pacific, and
there are these Our protagonists are a disgraced Japanese soldier

(01:17:54):
who has been deemed a trader as being transported back
for essentially a court martial. A British prisoner of war
who's been captured by the Japanese. They've been shackled together,
but then the ship that they are on, the Japanese
ship they're on, is hit by a sub attack. Submarine attack,
and the two of them, I guess are the only

(01:18:16):
survivors from what we see in the trailer, and they
wash up on an island, only to find that this
island has an inhabitant in it that's like a gill
Man style monster that toats wants them both dead.

Speaker 1 (01:18:32):
Yeah, it's it's inspired by the creature from the Black
Lagoon as well as Malaysian folklore. And the one of
the producers is Mike Wallawan, who also worked on Crazy
Rich Asians, which I love that movie.

Speaker 2 (01:18:49):
It is.

Speaker 1 (01:18:51):
Interesting to me because while I like the creature from
the Black Lagoon, I don't know if I can't get
from the trailer whether this creature is inherently violent or
if it's also misunderstood.

Speaker 2 (01:19:08):
It looks like it might be more of the first
than the second, just based upon the fact, like you
look at it's like it's designed to have really long
fangs for example, which you don't typically see that and think, oh,
this is a monster that's just been misinterpreted. Like it
looks more like, no, this is supposed to be it's
a predator. I mean that's what those teeth are for us,
for latching onto and hurting and or killing prey. So

(01:19:35):
we'll have to see. Like I thought that it was
an interesting trailer. The Shutter Like to Be is another
one of those companies that can that puts out a
lot of stuff. Either Shutter produces it or they get
the distribution rights to it, and some of that stuff
it slips under the radar, but it's like legit good.

(01:19:56):
It's just it's low budget but still really good. Some
of that stuff you watch and you think ooh, this
is like a borderline asylum movie, and the asylum pictures
films are are pretty bad, yeah, and cynical, like there's
there's cynical cash scrabs and they're they're trying to take

(01:20:16):
advantage of better known material and to kind of cash
in on that in a way that's just blatant and
disgusting in my opinion.

Speaker 1 (01:20:27):
So this doesn't look like that. By the way. It doesn't.
I don't get that vibe.

Speaker 2 (01:20:31):
I just don't know what the level of quality is
for this, but I wanted to include it because we
both like monsters Ariels a Monster Girl, and we both
like Creature from the Black Lagoon in particular, and I
was like, obviously there's some element of reference there.

Speaker 1 (01:20:51):
So yeah, yeah, I mean, and I this looks like
it would be on the horror scale, a good movie,
whereas like some of the water based horrors I have watched,
monster movies have not been like Dagon or Oh I
love Dagon. I mean, it's such a B movie. It's

(01:21:12):
so silly.

Speaker 2 (01:21:14):
Dagon is very silly. Like, yeah, I don't know that
I could say Dagon's a good movie, but I found
it very entertaining.

Speaker 1 (01:21:22):
And then there was like a I don't know if
I'm thinking of the right movie she creature. I'm not
familiar with this one, which is a mermaid who actually
turns into like a a creepy angler. She's a seductive
movie mermaid and she turns into like a creepy angler
creature to kill people. And it's I think a remake

(01:21:42):
of like a really old, like fifties movie, but it's
also kind of B level.

Speaker 2 (01:21:48):
Yeah, if you are if you're a Lovecraft fan of
the literature, not the racist novelist. If you're a fan,
if you're a fan of you're a fan of Lovecraft's literature, uh,
seek out Dagon at some point and watch it because
it is. I'm not saying it's a good movie, but.

Speaker 1 (01:22:08):
I found it.

Speaker 2 (01:22:09):
So I was really impressed because, like I was taking
it into account with how low budget it was. So
I was like, all right, I'm going to give this
movie yards and yards and yards of slack because they
clearly don't have a budget to make what they want
to make. But I felt it was very sincerely and

(01:22:29):
I really enjoyed it remarkably.

Speaker 1 (01:22:31):
So it's one of those movies that I'm like, oh,
we're having a bad Movie night. Oh you haven't watched this.
I mean it's been it's been at least twelve years
since I've watched it now, probably about the same for me.
So I don't know if it holds up or if
I would enjoy it as good on the third or
fourth watch it. I don't know how many times I've
seen it, but it is definitely one of those. I
got a contribution to my Bad Movie Night that is

(01:22:53):
both fun and horrible at the same time.

Speaker 2 (01:22:55):
Well, I have to say this is not in our lineup,
but I did notice on to be honestly, I think
it was toob Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was to
be that they have available a little movie called Blood
Salvage from nineteen ninety.

Speaker 1 (01:23:14):
That we are gonna have to watch.

Speaker 2 (01:23:15):
We're gonna have to get a group together and watch
Blood Salvage because the Strickland family are extras in it.
And so there's a moment like it's the second scene
in the movie where if you know where to look,
you can see me and my mom and my dad
and probably my sister, though I had trouble picking her

(01:23:37):
out this most recent time when I was watching the beginning.

Speaker 1 (01:23:40):
I mean if you want to check about movies on
two B. I'm also in a movie on two B,
The Perfect Mother, which I did in twenty which came
out in twenty twenty four.

Speaker 2 (01:23:52):
It's a tiny, tiny bit part. Yeah, mine's not even
a part. I'm just literally one person in a in
an audience at a po dunk beauty contest in a
Georgia carnival setting.

Speaker 1 (01:24:08):
I don't I like. On the one hand, I want
to support you and watch you be an extra in
the thing. On the other hand, it looks like it
would be too scary for me. It is so not scary.
I mean it is.

Speaker 2 (01:24:19):
It does have some gory moments in it, right. I
don't want to I don't want to just completely discount it,
but it is. I would say it's more of a
comedic horror movie. It's not an outright comedy. It is
a horror movie, but it's got enough comedic elements in it.
Like I'll tell you my favorite line. It's a shame
to spoil it, but here's my favorite line.

Speaker 1 (01:24:40):
In the movie.

Speaker 2 (01:24:41):
Is a point where the bad guy Jake has kidnapped
a young woman who is has to use a wheelchair
to get around, and so he's Jake, is kind of
a self taught DIY surgeon, mad scientist guy, and he's
been injecting this young woman's spine with spinal fluid and

(01:25:07):
has managed to actually regenerate some of her motor functions
purely by chance. And she tries to make an escape
and he catches her. He's taking her, he's carrying her upstairs,
and the line is I make you walk again, and
the first thing you do is run out on me.
And I'm like, that is such a.

Speaker 1 (01:25:28):
Good line, so good.

Speaker 2 (01:25:32):
I just anyhow, maybe Ray Walston is in it. He
played my favorite Martian in the TV series, My Favorite Martian.
I do enjoy Ray Walston.

Speaker 1 (01:25:44):
I can't guarantee I'll make it through, but I will
try for you. The bad Guy.

Speaker 2 (01:25:48):
The bad Guy used to do commercials for Kate's Pickles,
and there are actual references to Kate's Pickles commercials.

Speaker 1 (01:25:55):
In the movie. I don't think I know what Kate's
pickles are.

Speaker 2 (01:25:59):
So like the commercials had this kind of you know,
old hic type character played by the guy who plays
Jake and Blood Salvage, who would say things like why we.

Speaker 1 (01:26:11):
Talk so much about pickles?

Speaker 2 (01:26:14):
Whether there ain't nothing else to do or something like that,
Like it's like very kind of folksy, Southern type stuff.
And there are references to those commercials peppered into Blood Salvage,
which just delights me to no end. Like it's it's
a movie that feels very much rooted in rural Georgia,

(01:26:35):
and since that's where I grew up, I think it
speaks to me on a special level because of that.

Speaker 1 (01:26:42):
Gotcha, gotcha, Well we will have to find time to
do that along with a game night. Yes, we'll update
all of you, dear listeners, who I know care so
very much whether or not I made it through the movie.

Speaker 2 (01:26:56):
Yeah, maybe maybe you can tell us what you thought
when you were watching it on two B and you know,
taking a break every twenty minutes for more commercials.

Speaker 1 (01:27:05):
Yep. But until that time, we have reached the end
of our lineup. Super looking forward to July, I'm I'm
getting excited about superheroes again. Sorry, just had to add
that because Superman and Fantastic for It both July. Okay,
back to it. We're at our end of our of
our episode, which means we tell you how to get
in touch with us. So Jonathan take it away.

Speaker 2 (01:27:28):
So what you're gonna do is you're going to look
for a one of those those gander buckets that's on wheels,
you know, the yellow ones that you know you see
in places like schools and stuff. It's in the hallway.
But you're gonna need to look for one that is
filled with a sort of glowing green liquid and you're
gonna dip a mop into that, and this is going

(01:27:51):
to actually mutate the mop, And you're gonna sit there
and think, like, how can a mop be mutated? That's
how dirty this mop was had enough organic material in
it so that it could actually mutate upon touching this
seemingly toxic material within this bucket. Now that mop is
going to become sentient and you're going to have to

(01:28:11):
have a long conversation with it. Not first, all the
mop's going to do is scream because it's just horrified
at having sentience. You're going to have to work your
way through that. I suggest being real casual about it,
like don't go and show the mop TikTok or something,
or that's never gonna stop screaming. You got to be
careful and.

Speaker 1 (01:28:31):
Gentle with this. But you've got to get to a
point where the mop's going to be more understanding and
outright friendly eventually, and you can have some pretty deep
conversations with this mop. Heck, you might even be able
to ask it the question you want to ask me,
and the Mop's not going to tell you the right answer,
but it'll be an interesting one. So, this relationship between

(01:28:54):
you and the MOP, it's going to take a few
weeks for it to really develop into something strong enough
for you to get to the point where you can
ask it where I am, because the MOP actually knows,
but it doesn't feel right telling you because I'm famously
pretty private, so it doesn't want to just spill the beams.
You do need to get to a point where you
have built a level of trust, like take the MOP

(01:29:16):
out on various outings like whether you go maybe hiking
or to the movies, or maybe you go dancing and
you need a partner, maybe you need someone to stand
in as your best man or maid of honor. Well,
you know, the MOP is waiting for this opportunity, and
the more you show the MOP that you value its friendship,

(01:29:37):
the more likely the MOP is going to tell you
how you can get in touch with me. Once you
do you're going to need to bring them up with
you to me so that you can ask your question
and I will answer you while I burn the mop.
And if that is too sad a story for you,
it shouldn't have told you how to find me. It's

(01:30:03):
not that talking mop is scary, it's that Jonathan is vicious.
