Speaker 1 (00:10):
Hey, everybody, Welcome to the largen or John Collider Podcast,
the podcast that's all about geeky things happening in the
world around us and how very excited we are about them.
I'm aerial caston and with me as always is the
Tops of the Tops Jonathan Streetland and it is.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
It is a glorious thing to be a pirate king.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
So stop stealing my thirty seconds or less.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
My dude, no do it. Listen, You've got at least
twenty seven seconds left out of that one.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Sure that's true? Is that from Pirates of Penzance?

Speaker 2 (00:45):
It is? It is? That is the pirate King's song
in Pirates of Penzance. Oh better far to live and
die under the brave black Flag. I fly.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
I have listened to some music for my I've never
actually seen it.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Oh we should watch that next time we get to
get together, because like so the film musical version, sorry
when they geek out about Gilbert and Sullivan.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Operettas this one, Well, the whole show isn't out do it.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
So. The film version is based off a production of
Pirates of Penzance that was mounted at Central Park for
their outdoor theater and Kevin Klein was in that production,
as was Linda Ronstadt. You know, there were quite a
few people who would reprise their roles in the movie version,

(01:34):
the exception being the actress playing Ruth. I don't know
who played her in the Central Park. I've seen it,
and I don't know the actress's name, but Angela Lansbury
came on and took over the role of Ruth for
the film version, and it's very entertaining. It does take
some liberties with the original material, like not all the

(01:56):
songs are exactly the same. They drop a few verses
for some of the songs are so some of the
songs are shorter than they were. They also include a
song from a different Gilbert and Sullivan play called Ruttigor,
and they retooled the lyrics and put it into parts
of Penzance. And it also happens to be my favorite

(02:16):
song in that version of the musical.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
You just like that song.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
I love I love the operetta, I love it, I
love it. Actually, Pirate King is also great. It's a
great and they're all great songs, but that one's really good.
But the Rudiger one is just fun because it's a
patter song and by the time it starts has three
characters sing a verse in it. There's Frederick Ruth and

(02:43):
then the Pirate King, and Kevin Klein plays the Pirate King.
And by the time it gets to Kevin Klein's part,
the tempo has sped up to a point where he's
just like rattling it out machine guns style, and it
is really impressive watch. Plus Kevin Klein is just delightful

(03:04):
in his physicality and his character choices, so highly recommended
if you have not seen it, it is it's definitely
an odd watch because they do it as if they
were filming a staged version, Like there's clearly backdrops right
instead of an actual on site location, and they don't

(03:28):
do anything to hide that. But it's not done as
if it's a filmed stage production, right. It's they're on
sets and stuff. But it's very entertaining. Kevin Klein makes
that movie. He is just so funny.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
Well, I will say I have been enjoying the clips
that I've seen from the current run on Broadway with
David Hyde Piers.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Playing the Major General.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yes, which is the song that I know both from
you know Broadway Radio and then also from Mass Effect.
I am the very model of his scientist Hilarian but
but he looks lovely. I didn't know there was a
song where everybody just plays mediocre washboard.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Well that that I'm guessing is the Broadway version, but
so yeah, because the Broadway version we talked about it,
i think before it actually went up, but it's it
reimagines Penzance as being Louisiana instead of instead of off
the coast of England, and that the idea is that

(04:37):
the orchestrations would be updated to have more of a
kind of New Orleans jazz sound to them. And it's
funny because every clip I watch that I've seen, like
they typically are very short clips. It's almost like a
montage over and over. But I don't think I've ever
recognized a lyric in full in any of those clips,

(04:59):
where I'm like, either they're changing things or they're pulling
from some of those dropped verses that I'm less familiar with.
I have seen The Pirates of Penzance produced as an
operetta on stage with all the original orchestrations and everything,
but that was, oh, good lord, maybe thirty five years ago,

(05:21):
so it's been a while they.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Do it because they did it the washboards at the Tonys.
I think it's a part of We Sail the Ocean Blue.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Okay, but I think in.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
That song they, at least in this version, they mentioned washboards.
I'm like, oh, that's why they're playing washboards. It was
like it wasn't bad, but it also wasn't like, you know,
it's a bunch of actors playing washboards. It wasn't like
there are some. Now I'm geeking out, there are some
really elite like washboard players do just more than the yeah,

(05:54):
sort of a noise. I've my bandmate has found one.
She does classes in Canada, and we just keep hope
she comes to the States to teach a washboard class.
Because I play mediocre washboard, but I sure would love
to play a really good washboard. It's a lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yeah, And on my end, i'd really like washboard abs,
so I mean me too.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
I mean, actually, you know what, no, because when you
look at a washboard, it's all crinkly. It's like all
of these fine lines across It would.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Be kind of okay, son, too many packs. This brings
me to our question for the week, which I have
not shared.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Stomach.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
I have not shared with Ariel, but it's a natural
lead into the question which I did not anticipate when
I wrote this question. I did not, you know, I
guess I predict the future. So the question is what
ship from genre fiction would you most like to command?
And it can be any type of ship, so it

(06:55):
could be a boat type ship, it could be a
space ship starship. But if you could command any fictional ship,
which one would it be?

Speaker 1 (07:07):
I was trying to think of a funny like romance
ship to put in there.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
But you don't need to try and find a way
to not answer my question.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
I mean you said any kind of ship, and that's a.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Kind of an actual ship, like a vessel that takes
you from one place to another. Blaze.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
So like my initial, my initial like just off the
dome sort of a response would be Moya from Farscape.
I don't want to think about it too hard because
the being an organic ship does have some like s
quick factor to it, the fact that pilot is just

(07:50):
stuck there all the time. But also Maya has the
wonderful little dr ds and the amount of electronic items
I have named after dr ds in my house is
non minimal, so including like my roomba and computers and
things like that. So uh yeah, probably Moya. Good answer, Yeah,

(08:11):
not talent, he's too temperamental.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
That's Moya's son.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
In Farscape, there Leviathan's. They're a space creature that are.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Also used as ships. Well, in my case, I would
answer either, uh, the Jolly Roger, which is Captain Hook's ship,
and Peter Pam.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
I mean that's a good one.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
It's a really good ship, especially the version that is
in Hook. I love. I don't like the movie Hook,
but I love the costumes and I love that pirate
ship set. It is not it is not for me.
I was almost said, it's not a good movie. But
that's not fair. It's not for me. I don't like
the pacing for an adventure movie. I don't don't. I

(08:54):
don't like most of the performances apart from Dustin Hoffman
who and and oh me he also Bob Hoskins. I
loved them, but everyone else I kind of didn't like.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
See I love Gosh all of a sudden now I
want to say Paul Robelino, but that's not his name.
Dante Basco not the same person. Yeah, yeah, but I
also like Dante Basco like in other things. He's also
a voice actor, and like the cartoon Avatar and stuff.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
I think he's very talented. I just don't like this
performance in that movie, which you know, I don't like
Robin Williams performance in that movie. It's just not it
doesn't work for me. But I love the sets, I
love the score, I love like I love all the
technical aspects of it. I don't like the make Believe
Feast part. I don't like that part. But anyway, Jonathan,

(09:45):
I don't. I just said, okay, but I like I was.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Giving you a disapproving bangering, which I don't think actually works,
but I tried.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
I like the Pirate ship set a lot, so that
Jolly Roger would be one or the US Reliant from
Star Trek Wrath of Khan. It's the ship that Khan
common Deer's. I've always loved that ship design with the
Nay cells that are underneath the ship disc. It's my
favorite Star Trek Federation ship.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Gotcha. I do have two. I have two runners up because,
like I said, Moya is just my initial instinct. Yeah,
the runners up is the ship from Flood to the Navigator.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Because okay, Paul Rubins.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
No, I don't want to command Paul Rubens.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
I mean you would be.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
That's the voice actor within the mythos of the world.
The ship, I mean, I can't believe I'm saying the tartist,
but no one commands the tartst The Tartets commands itself.
You just go for the ride, right. I guess the
same could be said for the ship and the Flood
of the Navigator. Does that have a name? The ship
and the Flood of the Navigator.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
I think the kid gives them a name. It's been
I mean, it's been like forty years since I've seen
that movie, but I want to say the kid probably
gives them a name at some point.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
I just the spaceship is the Trimaxian drone ship from
feilan Oh. They name it Max Okay. The other the
other ship is the Hispaniola from Mupet Treasure Island.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Okay, that's good. I mean, I also wouldn't say no
to the Queen Anne's Revenge from Pirates of the Caribbean,
even though that particular movie is terrible, That ship looks amazing.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
Yeah, I just a crew of Muppet pirates sounds like
I mean, not like short term like an Airbnb kind
of vacation for time.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
I was about to say, like, like the day you
guys get cabin fever, It'll be entertaining for about three
and a half minutes and then it's just gonna be maddening.
All right, Well, that that concludes our question of the week.
Let's talk about stuff that we've watched.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Now.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
We took a day a week off obviously because we
had the fourth of July weekend and we were both
busy with holiday stuff, so we've been gone for two weeks. However,
in my case, that doesn't mean that I racked up
a ton of geeky watch time. I did watch K
Pop Demon Hunters, the animated film that's done by the

(12:16):
same team that does the Spider Verse movies. I thought
the animation was great. I thought the performances were lots
of fun. I thought the story was just okay. I
thought that actually, if they had taken some of the
songs out and dedicated that time to characterization and developing
the plot, it would have been better. But I understand

(12:37):
that it needed to have K Pop in it because
otherwise it's not K Pop Demon Hunters, So I get it.
I just feel like, there were a lot of things
that I had questions about that are never answered and
it would have been nice to at least hint at them,
and it really didn't. So I was I would give
it like a C rating if I were giving it

(12:59):
a greade. It passes, may maybe a C plus like
C plus B minus territory.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Then I also watched the third episode of Squid Game
and started the fourth episode, and then I decided I
have to nope out because while I was kind of
hoping for you know, character struggles against unrelenting challenges but
comes out on top, I'm now convinced that that's not
how this is going to end.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
Oh no.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
And I'm like, look, if I want to be miserable,
I would just watch Walking Dead.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
So I mean, yeah, so.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
I decided to pull the plug on it. Like it's
kind of like my brain is screaming at me because
it's that thing where you leave something unfinished and your
brain's just like you just you need to tie up
those loose ends. You got to finish it. But I'm like,
I just I don't know, I just can't. So I'm
out for Squid Game. I don't care if they make

(13:57):
another season. It's just it's too mean and too cynical,
and I understand why it is, but it's not what
I need in this moment in my life. So Ariel,
what have you been watching?

Speaker 1 (14:12):
I have been watching murder Bot, which we all know
on Apple TV. I am so excited about it. It's
the final episode came out last night today. I haven't
watched the final episode yet, but I'm really enjoying it. Also,
after I was trying to find the the thing, I

(14:34):
shared about it with some of my friends. But after
today's episode, Martha Wells is dropping, who is the author
of the murder Bock Bought series, dropping a new murder
Bot book. So exciting, just to tide you over until
hopefully season two. I don't think it's been greenlit yet,
but it's such a delightful show, Like it's everything I

(14:54):
want in a show. It's maybe it's right up there
with like Watchman and for my favorite shows, but also
like fun. It's just fun. The performances are great, there's
a lot of comedy. Sanctuary Moon is worth it for.
It's worth it for Sanctuary Moon alone, which is the
fictional show within the show that because the plot behind

(15:17):
murder bot. I think we've talked about this before. Is
it's a it's a like a sentient robot, part organic,
part machine that hacks its governor module, which means it
doesn't need to obey humans anymore. Humans kind of gross
it out. Human functions, human emotions, all that stuff. And really,
now that it's free, just wants to spend all day

(15:38):
watching like serial television, like soap operas and stuff, and
it's delightful to watch all of the characters grow. But
one of the fictional his its favorite fictional series is
Sanctuary Moon and that's full of celebrities and it's hilarious.
So that I watched the final uh bracket competition of

(16:01):
After Midnight. I have some episodes of After Midnight to watch,
but the show's over now. But it was a goofy
popcorn potato chip kind of a TV show that I
really enjoyed for a while. I've started the new season
of The Bear and I'm enjoying it. We continuing to
watch everything that comes out on dropout TV, because you know,

(16:24):
so like cloud word ho and Game Changers. The latest
Game Changer if you haven't watched it, Jonathan's There's a
Price of Right Prices Right Wheel and they play it
like a flux game m where the rules keep changing.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
The rules.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yeah, but they each rules. So you spin the wheel,
you get a rule. That rule applies to the person
who spun the wheel only, and so they have to
wear them on their body. And then they get like
modifiers and prompts, and if they do the prompt right,
they can shred a rule. They get chances to like
flip rules and change them out. It's delightful. The way
it ends is so off the wall, it's just amazing.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
So that sounds like a Moose Master mixed with the
Big Wheel from Prices Right.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
A little bit. And then I've been watching the latest
season of task Master, which has also been a delightful
amount of fun.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
Mm hmm, so cool. Yeah, I've heard that that the
new season of The Bear is more bearable than the
previous season for some I was I was hearing I
think it was a different podcast where I was hearing
some of the hosts kind of win John about season

(17:37):
three saying that it felt like it was a lot
of treading water, like setting stuff up and not paying
it off, and that that feels like season four is
correcting that.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
Yeah, yeah, for sure. And I mean part of that
is because it came out like right as soon as
like they had to rush as soon as the strikes
were done, right, and there was a writer strike and
an actor strike, so that that kind of there were
I mean there was, there was. I thought a lot
of fun and a lot of fun is such a
subjective word in season three of The Bear, but I
am enjoying season four. I feel like there is character

(18:10):
growth happening and momentum and that is a lot of fun.
And so yeah, that's I enjoy it. It is definitely
not for everyone. It can be a stressful show, but
I find it rewarding as well.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Well. Speaking of rewards, how about you reward our listeners
with some short news items in our thirty seconds or less.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
Sure. Yeah, it's a great way to tell me to
stop talking so long.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
No, No, not that, it's just like I was just like,
I have nothing to add to this, so I'm just
gonna move it on.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
It's good, but I would highly recommend Murder But like
I know, you've got a long list of shows. Watch
murder bot.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Okay, watch it, watch it, watch it. It's it's actually
so good. You know the thing that's on my list
that I am definitely seeing next though, right what Superman?
Since Suman tomorrow morning.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
I want to see it this weekend, but maybe maybe
I'll see it Sunday evening. I have a friends. Two
of my friends are getting married tomorrow and I'm so
excited to be a part and get to help them
with that, and that will be my day well worth
putting Superman off. But I do want to see it.
I would have tried to see it last night, but
I spent seven hours at the dealership trying to get

(19:23):
my car fixed.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
So yeah, and I am currently of the age where
I can no longer do the midnight premiere stuff anymore
and still function the next day.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
Yeah, but I look forward to hearing what you think.
I'll try to see it as soon as possible so
we can talk about it in a non spoilerly spoilery way.
Here sounds good. Also, I listened to the latest episode
of Saw Bones, which the suggestion on that episode was
from Jonathan and it was a great suggestion and it
was a wonderful episode. If you don't like bugs, it

(19:58):
might give you a bit of the but it was
very good.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
I wrote in with a suggestion. It was based off
something that they mentioned in the episode that happened just
before that, which was all about folk remedies for bugstings,
and they mentioned the Schmidt pain scale for stinging insects.
And I said, you know, I think that would make
a really good episode if you just dove into that

(20:23):
further as opposed to just mentioning it. And so they did.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
And Sydney, who is the main smart I mean, Justin
is a smart person too, but Sydney is the family doctor,
so she's the one who's got a lot of like
the medical knowledge.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Right.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Also, Frickin loved your suggestion. She was so happy you
gave it to her because it gave her this whole
like research avenue to go down. So yeah, just props
for props is to you, my friend.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
Thank you. Well, Lynn seconds now gently go to the
thirty seconds or less and I believe you. Maybe first yes,
she want me to Derailie again.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
I'm kidding, Okay. Night at the Museum by Sean Levy
with Ben Stiller as kind of the lead guy who
is the night watchman of the museum. I am told
I've never actually seen one of the movies all the
way Through is getting a new movie. They're really popular.
I have so many friends who really like them. Hopefully

(21:20):
this I need to watch it at some point to
see what all my friends are talking about. And hopefully
this new one will live up to prior joy and expectations.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
After more than twenty years and millions of dollars spent,
Warner Brothers has allowed the film rights to expire for
a new adaptation of Akira. Over the years, folks like
Leo DiCaprio and Taika White Titi were involved. It even
went into pre production more than once, only to get
shut down and retooled. Some versions were more faithful to

(21:52):
the source material than others, but none of them made
it all the way through. I hope someone actually makes
a documentary about this failed project.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
M Sillipsist Films is making a top secret service movie.
It's based off of a action comedy comic book by
Zach Keller. They describe it as Midnight Run, a movie
I have not seen but I assume is like Lethal
Weapon and forty eight Hours, another movie I have not seen,

(22:20):
but I assume is like Rush Hour, an Air Force
one which I have seen, so like an elite kill
team I'm reading the log line. An elite kill team
assaults a remote Montana ranch to young secret Service agents
must protect the retired president they were assigned to only decide,
only to discover that he's like linked to an old

(22:41):
alien cover up. I ended up paraphrasing at the end
because it's long. That could be fun.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
You heard it here first, the Hollywood Reporter has Okay,
let's let's get the sillies out. Okay, okay. The Hollywood
Reporter has an article about casting for the remake of Highlander,
a project that I keep forgetting is happening. Henry Cavill
will be Connor McLeod, the character played by Christopher Lambert
in the original. So who's going to replace Sean Connery

(23:11):
as Ramirez, Well, that would be Russell Crowe. Marissa Abella
will also star as an immortal swordswoman and one of
McLeod's former loves. I think they're trying to set up
a franchise here, so in that sense there can't be
only one.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
We're getting a new TV show called The Pirate King,
which stars Rob Briggle and Jordiana Brewster. It's about a
guy who to try to reconcile with his family. He's
like he he's a marine with PTSD and addiction issues.
He joins. He joins a group of pirate re enactors

(23:51):
and tries to repair his relationship with his family. You know,
I'm a LARPer so and I played a pirate Paluza
for years, so anything with pirates and reenact gets my
immediate attention.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Uh yeah, And just as a quick addition to the
thirty seconds or less bit, the article talks about it
being based off the real pirate Uh and let's see
what was the name again? I had it, had it
in front of me a second ago. The real pirate
mister Willis Todd Willis. So I looked this up because
it's like, I've never heard of Todd Willis. He's a

(24:24):
pirate reenactor. So the fact that they referenced him as
a pirate captain but he's a reenactor was kind of
funny to me. Okay, back to thirty seconds or Less.
Mahash all Ali was recently promoting the debut of Jurassic
World Rebirth and found that the one thing that is
even more persistent than a hungary dinosaur would be questions
about vampires. Day Walker's blade, specifically when asked about an

(24:49):
update to the beleaguered project, Ali deflected and said, leave
me out of it. He wasn't dismissing the film, but
he does seem like he'd really love to talk about
literally anything else.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
Because he has no answers. So much so that some
of the costumes for a previous iteration of this movie
that he was supposed to be attached to were sold
to the movie Sinners to be used that. Apparently, Blade
was supposed to delve some fit into nineteen thirties politics
and race relationship relations and it looks like the new

(25:22):
version will not. But it did provide some pretty amazing
costumes for Sinners.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
There we go, and that's thirty seconds or less. We
meandered a little bit. Boy, he made it through. All right, Well,
let's see.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
Too much, not too much.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
We'll talk about a few things now that we kind
of pushed into the not really a fit for our show,
one of which you could argue possibly could fit. But
it's a little twee, So we'll get to that.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
But it's more than a little twee.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
It's exceedingly twee. It's like, Hey, who's going to make
the next Juno? Except make it animated and a musical slower. Yeah,
we'll talk about that when we get to it. But
first up, we got a trailer for the next entry
in the train Wreck documentary series on Netflix. You remember

(26:17):
we talked about another one of those just a couple
of weeks ago. There's a boy balloon boy. Yeah, there's
been a whole bunch of these. Obviously, the one that
I saw for this episode was storm Area fifty one.
So this is back when a few years back, like
ten years ago now, where there was essentially this this

(26:41):
kind of growing movement along certain areas of the Internet
to gather at the boundary of Area fifty one, which
is the popular name for I think it's room Lake.
I think it's groom Lake.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
It's it's a it's in Roswell, New Mexico.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
No it's not.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
It's not.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
No, it's not in Rosweld, New Mexico. How much those
two those two spots are hours apart. Okay, it's often
it's often conflated with Roswell, New Mexico because Area fifty
one is often used as a point of interest for
UFO conspiracy theorists, so often the two get conflated. But

(27:28):
they are not in the same area. So it's a
Groom Lake or Grovelake, I can't remember. Anyway, it's it's
a it's a top secret like essentially an air Force
research and development facility where they designed and prototyped things
like spyplanes. But because of the secrecy and its remote location, uh,

(27:50):
and because these aircraft could often do things that other
aircraft just could not do, there was this whole rumor
about it being like a place where alien activity was happening.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
Groom Lake, Groom Lake.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
Thank you. And so way back, you know, in the
mid two thousands twenty tens, it was like people joking about, hey,
if we all showed up, they couldn't shoot all of
us because it is like top secret, and they were
like signs saying, like trespassers could be shot. They would have,
you know, teams of people patrolling the perimeter line making

(28:27):
sure that folks were staying out a super top secret facility.
It's it's crazy because it's a secret facility everybody knows about.
And then this this online trend became like a craze
and tons of people started showing up to an area
that just was not was not built to handle that

(28:51):
many people, and so this looks like a fascinating documentary.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
It does, especially since the people who kind of organized
it were like, well, I thought it was funny at
the time. Whoops. Apparently this is a craze that can
either I learned about and completely blocked out of my memory,
or just I was unaware of it.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
Just it.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
I don't know, like I get the alien craze, you know,
I used to like aliens in the nineties in early
two thousands when aliens were cool, because they were for
a while, like as a as a fashion aesthetic. But yeah, no,
it just blows my mind that people would do this.
I don't want to mess with any top secret facilities.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Yeah, this is one of those things where like the
secrecy is what really bred the fascination, and it just
kind of fed in on itself over and over again.
The documentary comes out July twenty ninth. I might want
to watch this because way back when I was a
writer for HowStuffWorks dot Com, I wrote the article how

(29:58):
Area fifty one works.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Oh, very interesting, Yeah, I will. I should go read
that article. I will also say every time you put
in one of these train wreck things, I think it's
another movie from Amy Schumer, so fair enough.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
We next had a trailer for a series that's coming
out on Amazon Prime. It's a six part series of
six episodes called The Assassin. It has Keeley Hawes as
a retired hit woman named Julie and her grown son.
Freddie Highmore is playing a guy named Edward. That's Freddie

(30:39):
Himore is not her son. Freddie Higmore is the actor
who's playing the son Edward. Yeah, it's hot in my
office and my brain no worse anymore.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Also, Freddie Himore used to be a kid and now
he's an adult, so.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
Yeah, well he used to play like a very young
doctor on The Good Doctor.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
And also was the kid in Bates Motel.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
Yes, so like. Based upon the preview, it looks like
this is a case where Edward is unaware that his
mom is a former assassin and then like people from
her past are coming after her for one reason or another,
or after her son possibly, and so she has to

(31:22):
kind of come out of retirement in order to stay alive.
This comes out July twenty fifth on Amazon Prime.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Like a less funny version of Fubar. We also got
a trailer for Troubleman, which stars Michael Jy White, who
I love. I love Michael Jai White as an Atlanta
PI who's searching for a missing R and B artist.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
Yeah, he teams up with Method Band, which is awesome.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Michael Ji White has done a lot of stuff, a
lot of different genres of movie and characters and things
like that, but he tends to go back to movies
that are vaguely at least vaguely reminiscent of like black
exploitation movies, sometimes more than vaguely, and it's it's a
very like particular style, but he does it's so flipping.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Well, yeah, this this trailer looks like there's lots of
fun kickfighting in it as well as as well as
like fighting what what John Wick might consider gun Fu,
although I think gun Fu actually came out of what
was it? Equilibrium? Was that the name of the movie
with Christian Bale? Yeah? I think it was. But yeah,

(32:29):
it's it's it looks like it has a good sense
of humor, a great sense of action, and a lot
of style, and hey, we got to represent our Atlanta
stories too.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
For sure. Kickfighting in gung Fu feels like it would
be a great cover band name.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
Yeah, this comes out August first, So yeah, I'll probably
watch this because it looks like I mean, it also
looks like method Man and Michael j. White have really
good on screen on screen chemistry with like Michael Jai
White playing like the competent, capable, serious character. He's got

(33:10):
a little bit of a sense of humor to him too,
but it's like a there's an edge to him. Metha
man comes across as being a little more not silly,
but a little more humorous.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
Yeah, yeah, it looks like it's gonna be a good duo.
I need to watch his Michael Jay White's Western. I
didn't ever watch that when I came.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
Yeah, yeah, I need to see that one too. It
looked like it would be a lot of fun. Like
I've the stuff I've seen him in are all like
they kind of fall into that direct to video martial
arts action film category. It's also a shame that he
had a scene in kill Bill that was cut. I

(33:53):
would have loved to have seen him in kill Bill,
and I've seen the deleted scene, but it would have
been fun for that to have been in the movie.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
Yeah, for sure. And next we've gotten back to the
twee wee it's twee. There's a trailer for Boys Go
to Jupiter, which is like the slowest paced comfort guy
meets up with a girl and then there's an alien

(34:21):
in her backpack and some music.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
It's so Jupiter in the case of the trailer. So
first of all, Jupiter in this case is not referencing
the planet. It's Jupiter Florida. It's set in Florida. It's
set between Christmas and New Year's. The main character's name
is Billy five thousand, don't know why. He hustles as

(34:50):
a gig economy worker doing deliveries for a fictional app
called Grubster and runs into a former classmate who whom
he always had a crush on. This is also where
he encounters the alien named Donut, and then very slow

(35:14):
tweet adventures follow as they are pursued by Doctor Dolphin
voiced by Janine Garoffalo, who wants Donut back. She runs
a mega corporation that makes orange juice.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Yeah, I mean it's it's a cute story. It also
stars Jack Corbett cole Escola, who recently won a Tony
for Omary on Broadway, and Demi edit Jueybee, who is
huge geeky does a lot of dropout stuff.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
Yeah, it's uh so, I can't say that this trailer
grabbed me at all. It's not my style, it's not
my but it does. It does make me feel like
this is this is the latest version of Juneo but
updated for today's audiences.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
Yeah, yeah, and last and stuff that doesn't fit. We
got a trailer for the new season at King of
the Hill where everybody's all grown up.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
Yeah. Season fourteen, Peggy and Hank are returning to Arlin,
Texas after Hank had taken a job doing propane out
in Saudi Arabia. So now they're back in the good
old us of A. But things just ain't the same
as they used to be, as Hank might say, and
so it's them trying.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
To that's a good impression.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
Thanks them trying to navigate. Hey, you know what you
get with the last name like Strickland, You get a
lot of King of the Hill references because of Strickland propanee.
Oh yes, oh, Strickland. Like in the eighties it was
principal Strickland from Back to the Future. But then you know,

(36:57):
late nineties, two thousands, it was King of the Hill, references. Yeah,
so Bobby is now in his twenties and is working
as a chef. Lots of hilarity ensues this well debut
on August fourth. It's going to be on Hulu and
Disney Plus. And I mean, yeah, like for anyone who

(37:18):
was a big fan of King of the Hill, this
should be a lot of fun. I don't know how
they're going to address I can't remember the character's name,
but you know, sadly, the actress who provided her voice
passed away many years ago now.

Speaker 1 (37:34):
But it was it. Well, they've had two voice actors
pass away.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
Yes, that's true.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
Johnny Redcorn also.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
Yes, yeah that was terrible. That was terrible. What that Yeah,
it was recent.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
Yeah it was Britney Murphy played lou Anne.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
But yeah, that comes out August fourth. So for those
who are Mike Judge fans, you got something to look
forward to. And now we can move on to stuff
that's in our show notes. So the first thing that's
on our actual show notes is a discussion point, which
should be fun with a lot of lag. But it's

(38:17):
because we got some information about a spinoff series for
the Big Bang Theory. We knew this was going to happen.
This has been in the works for a long time.
It is titled Stuart Fails to Save the Universe. They
shot a pilot and the pilot has been ordered to
series and the premise is bonkers.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
I mean so, despite having people connected to that show
that I love, not like, not directly, but semi directly,
Big Bang Theory was never my jam. I felt it
was a caricatures and geek culture instead of the honest

(39:04):
humor of geek culture. But that's just me. For people
who love it, great, for people who worked on it, amazing,
But this one, I don't know. It's so out there
that I have to give it a try.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
Yeah, so let me let me give a quick update
on what this premise is because it's wild like this is.
Keep in mind, Big Bang Theory was more or less
a grounded sitcom. It certainly did delve into caricatures of
geek culture, like you were saying, Ariel, and I agree
one with everything you said. Like I thought, there were

(39:39):
some early episodes that had promise, like I think of
this one episode in season one where they accidentally order
a full size replica of the time Machine thinking that
it's a smaller model and then they end up pretending
to travel through time, and everybody starts running around like
in fast motion to simulate the fact that someone, the

(40:01):
person sitting in the time machine is traveling through time,
and I'm like, this is adorable. This is very much
a geek culture thing. I love it, And then everything
else felt like it was a geek face. I guess
it was not good, but yeah, Stuart Save fails to
save the universe? Is the premise is that Stuart breaks

(40:22):
a device that Leonard and Sheldon had built, some sort
of I assume quantum device that opens up wormholes to
other parallel universes, and then he starts to encounter variations
of people I'm supposed I guess people he knows, so
I'm guessing that gives the opportunity for people to return
to this series as different versions of characters that they've

(40:47):
played in Big Bang Theory. That's a wild premise, Like,
that's a science fiction, crazy premise for this show. That
again is a spinoff of a much more grounded sitcom.
And the only other example I can think of off
the top of my head that is similar to this
is how Mork and Mindy was a spin off of

(41:07):
Happy Days.

Speaker 1 (41:09):
Yeah, yeah, I mean or Mork and Mindy in Happy
Days at All.

Speaker 2 (41:14):
Mark showed up in an episode of Happy Days, and
that is what gave the network the desire to launch
his own sitcom.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
Gotcha, gotcha because Stuart did show up in his comic
book shop, did show up a lot more in Big
Bang Theory.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
Yep. Yeah. He played a much larger role in the
last couple of seasons too. Like in the early seasons,
he was just someone who you would occasionally see, maybe
once or twice a season as the as the characters
went to the comic book Shop.

Speaker 1 (41:43):
Yeah, yeah, I will give it a shot. Why not?

Speaker 2 (41:49):
Yeap. Other folks who are in it are Lauren Lapkis
plays Stuart's girlfriend Denise. Brian Posain. I love Brian Posaan.
Lauren Lapkus is hilarious. I love Brian Posane too. He's
playing a geologist named Bert and John Ross Bowie as
Barry Kripkey, another character that was established in Big Bang Theory.
He's a quantum physicist. Yeah, this is just a it's

(42:13):
kind of whack a doodle crazy, but I mean it
has been picked up like it's it's not just a
dead pilot. Although that would have been a fun one
to listen to on Dead Pilot Society.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
Yeah for sure. Uh. Something else that is is not
dead but is at least delayed is sub Nautica. To wow,
going from time travel in a comic book store to
time travel in water planets? Uh not really?

Speaker 2 (42:38):
Is it a time travel? No? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (42:40):
I mean you like travel like.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
Yes, you did, and it does take time to get
to where you're going. So I guess in that way
like all time traveling, like.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
It takes, but like you're traveling a good period of time.
I think at the beginning of the sub Nautica two
trailer it says, where you're traveling this many years, light years, hours, whatever.
Now I'm not remembering. Now you're making me question my memory,
which is probably a good thing anyhow. Subnautica is a
game where you explore alien ruins in a giant ocean

(43:09):
and you take samples of different sea life, and then
there are these giant leviathan things that try to eat
you and kill you. So part of it is very
cozy ocean. If you find the ocean cozy like I do,
im part of it. Part of it is terrifying. I
have this game on my metaquest. I get so motion sick,

(43:29):
I can't even get out of the initial pod.

Speaker 2 (43:32):
Yeah, it's it's a it's a resource gathering and base
building game as well, right, it has all those different
features to it. I can't imagine navigating this game in VR.
I think I would. I think I also would feel
like hurling just by just by looking around the startup area.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
Yeah, but it's a very pretty game. I love watching
like plays of it and clips from it, both the
terrifying and the cozy. Sub Nautica two is a vowing
for multiplayer which is fantastic, but they have delayed the
release of it until twenty twenty six. They say that.
The studio says it's because there are a couple of

(44:10):
features that aren't working quite like they want it to,
which I fully back in support holding off until the
game runs great. Some people think it might be because
of a change in leadership, but that's just a rumor.

Speaker 2 (44:23):
Well, let me make stir the pot a little more, okay,
so one of those leaders so okay. The developer of
this game is called Unknown Worlds. That developer company is
owned by a larger company called Crafton k r aft
O n Crafton essentially came in and laid off a

(44:46):
large portion of the leadership team at Unknown Worlds, including
a guy named Charlie Cleveland, who now alleges that the
reason for the delay may not be technical at all.
In fact, Cleveland says, no, this could go into early
access now today, like it's that close, but that the
reason why this is again Cleveland's allegations, the reason why

(45:06):
Crafton has chosen to delay it is because technically there
is an agreement in place where Crafton would need to
pay out a two hundred and fifty million dollar bonus
to Unknown Worlds if the company if the developer hits
certain thresholds. So the implication here is that Crafton has
purposefully sabotaged the debut of Subnotica two in order to

(45:28):
not have to make this bonus payout that If that's yeah,
if that's true, Like, I agree with you, Ariel. If
the reason why it's delayed is because the developers genuinely
feel they need more time to put polish on this
to make it something that players will really enjoy, that's
admirable and I agree that's what they should do. But

(45:51):
if it's because the parent company is like we don't
want to spend two hundred and fifty million dollars if
we don't have to. So let's let's pump the brake
so that they cannot. We are going to make it
impossible for them to meet their threshold. That really stinks.

Speaker 1 (46:05):
That does really stink. I would not be for that
at all. But the game looks great. Maybe I'll try
my hand at playing it again, whether on PC or
I don't know if it's available on console. Surely it's
got to be. I didn't even look or on the
meda quest. I do have it like modded so that
it should be smoother. We'll see.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
I have never been able to play VR games for
any length of time without feeling like I will never
be able to stand up again.

Speaker 1 (46:36):
I tell you. So there is a beat saber. I
have no problem because you stand in one place and
everything flies at you.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
So there's no like movement issues that I have. It's great.
There's also like some puzzle games that work pretty well.
It's just you know, if I move the way the
headset is telling me too, then I'm going to run
into furniture.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
Well, sometimes dramamine helps me, but I had to take
Dramamine to play the co op version of Portal two
as well.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
So gosh, well, let me tell you a movie I
definitely would not want to experience in VR, and that
is The Running Man.

Speaker 1 (47:18):
Oh you mean you didn't You wouldn't want to be
a contestant on the game show they tried to make
of it either, Yeah, we did.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
We talk about that in the old version of LLENC
years ago.

Speaker 1 (47:28):
So I think so.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
I think Ben Affleck was like behind that at one point,
like it was his production company or something. So let's
let's let me set the stage here. So The Running
Man originally is a short novel, a novella really that
Stephen King wrote. It might have been under his Richard
Bachman name, I can't remember. But The Running Man is

(47:50):
a story that was adapted loosely is putting it kindly
into a film starring Arld Schwarzenegger, But it only vaguely
had any resemblance to the underlying story, Like Schwarzenegger played
a character named Ben Richards and there was a guy

(48:11):
who was in charge of the game show called Killian.
Those character names show up in the novel too, but
other than that, there was really not much similarity. Now
there's a new adaptation coming out starring the very ever
present Glenn Powell. My personal opinion of Glenn Powell is

(48:31):
I find him remarkably bland. But that's me. There are
people out there who are probably big Glenn Powell fans,
and I'm sure he's a nice guy and he works hard,
but golly, I just think of Glenn Powell as the
guy you go to and you can't get Bradley Cooper.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
I kind of think so. And yes, this game show
is called The Runner and was supposed to take place
in twenty sixteen.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
Yeah wow, yeah, so like almost ten years ago. So
the story and this new movie adaptation follows the character
of Ben Richards, who is married and has a baby
who has medical needs. But this is set in a
not too distant future where the ability to earn a

(49:16):
living is pretty limited and Ben Richards is effectively blacklisted
from being able to get employed, and the corporations essentially
are running things and in order to keep people placid,
it's the whole Breton circus is thing. In order to
keep them give them a sense of hope without actually

(49:39):
giving them anything of material value, they have these crazy
game shows. They have horrible, horrible personal risk involved. Some
of them are just things like you're going to get maimed,
but you might make some money. Running Man is like
their top tier show, and the idea is that you
go on the run for thirty days and if you
can survive for thirty days without being captured or killed,

(50:03):
then you win a huge amount of money. The flip
side is there's some professional assassins who are tracking you down,
plus anyone who sees you out in public can attempt
to try and capture you. And so Ben Richards agrees
to go on this game show in order to make
money and is working hard to evade capture, despite having

(50:23):
to do things like record himself at the end of
every day to kind of have an ongoing record showing
that he's still in the play area. Essentially, they hasn't
just dropped off the grid. And Dan Killian in this
case is played by Josh Brolin. He looks like he's
having a lot of fun in this. Michael Sarah's also
in it. Ben Richards runs into some resistance fighters who

(50:46):
are trying to bring the corporations down and it gets
a little more complicated at that point. This looks like
it's much more faithful to the original story, and in
that sense, I'm very interested in it. I just wish
they had not cas Glenn Powell. Again, nothing personal against
him other than I don't like him. I guess that
is personal.

Speaker 1 (51:06):
Yeah, something kind of the definition. Listen, you personally like him,
you don't know him.

Speaker 2 (51:13):
I don't know him. I just haven't liked anything I've
seen him in, or at least I haven't liked his
performance in anything I've seen him in. It comes out
November seventh.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
It's a tweet version of back Bradley Cooper.

Speaker 2 (51:26):
Now that Bradley Cooper is not the most dynamic I
don't think of Bradley Cooper is being a super dynamic
actor either, and I think even less. So, Okay, that's
technically animated.

Speaker 1 (51:45):
I mean so Edgar Wright makes really fun Chase movies,
so I think it'll be good.

Speaker 2 (51:50):
But also, that's right. It is anright film.

Speaker 1 (51:53):
It is a film, and it's got a great rest
of the cast.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
It just.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
It looks like the trailer makes it look way more
fun than I know it's going to be. I feel
like it's actually going to be very bleak, and I
don't I want to watch it, but I don't want
to watch it, and I'm mad for them making me
want to watch it.

Speaker 2 (52:12):
The story is pretty bleak. I mean, like, yeah, I
won't I won't say that the bad guys win in
the end, but I won't say the good guys win
in the end either, for certain.

Speaker 1 (52:23):
I haven't read the book, but i've heard also speaking
of Bland, the Bland version of Mad Max is also something.
We got a trailer for.

Speaker 2 (52:34):
Another post apocalypse movie.

Speaker 1 (52:38):
Yeah, it's called Afterburn. It stars Dave Batista, Like the
Apocalypse happens and it shuts down. I think. I think
the deal and you can correct me if I'm wrong,
is that it shuts down like modern like electronics and technology.

Speaker 2 (52:53):
Yeah, it's a it's a massive it's a massive solar flare.
It's the same thing as if an e MP and
electromagnetic pulse had gone off across the entire plant. So
it overloads electronic devices and shorts them out, and that
includes things like power grids. This is, by the way,
it's it's based off a comic book, so it's it's

(53:15):
an adaptation technically.

Speaker 1 (53:17):
Gotcha to me, Like, I know it's based off a
comic book. It to me, it feels from watching the
trailer like just an excuse to make a load tech
action movie.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
Yeah, it's so. The the premise here is that Batista
is a former soldier who's now kind of a treasure hunter.
He helps he helps acquire like rare pre disaster works
of art for example, and other items for clients for
like high amounts of money. And he's hired to find

(53:51):
and repossess the Mona Lisa, which, for some reason that's
not made clear in the in the trailer is being
fought over by lots of people with guns, and so, yeah,
that's kind of the basic premise there. This was a
movie that had kind of a false start, like it was.

(54:12):
I think they were working on this way back in
like twenty eighteen, but they weren't able to actually start
shooting till twenty twenty four.

Speaker 1 (54:19):
Poor Batista, like he's got a run of movies that
have had false starts.

Speaker 2 (54:24):
Yeah, I will say this one, this one, at least
to me from a technical perspective, looks like it was
better done than that other post apocalyptic movie he was doing.
I can't remember even what it was anymore. It was
like we talked about it, maybe like four months ago.
But it was it was like some sci fi magic

(54:45):
kind of movie thing, do you know what I'm talking about?
Like there was likemant mutants in it or something. I
can't remember it was, but yeah, it was garred. I
don't remember what it was.

Speaker 1 (55:00):
Was it in the Lost Lands? Maybe with Mila Djojohovic?

Speaker 2 (55:05):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah, that's it. That's the one I
was thinking of. That one really didn't look very good
to me. This one at least looks a little better.
But I've never read the comic book, so I don't
know anything.

Speaker 1 (55:19):
It doesn't look bad. It just doesn't look exceptional to me. Agreed,
So you noped out of squid Games? Yeah, but do
you still have an itch for, uh, for that style
of TV show?

Speaker 2 (55:37):
If you're asking me if I want to watch a
series where people are abducted and forced to play games
or else they'll be killed, I think I'm good.

Speaker 1 (55:47):
Okay, Because we got a trailer for season three of
Alice in Borderland, which is based off of a manga
and the story is that a group of people are
transported to a parallel universe in which they have to
play and win games to main alive. So it's it's
less like play games to die and more like to survive.

(56:08):
And it's in a parallel universe, so less uh more
sci fi and less stakes. No, still not selling you.

Speaker 2 (56:19):
Uh no, No, haven't haven't been convinced yet. Like I
watched the trailer and I thought the trailer was, uh, mysterious,
but I didn't have any desire to see the mystery solved.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
Gotcha? So you are you have been turned off of
all types shows of that kind.

Speaker 2 (56:39):
I mean, I don't know about all, but I think
for the time being, I'm good. It's like, this series
certainly has elements of other Japanese storytelling in it that
I find interesting, but also hard for me to access
because there's just some fundamental differences between that and you know,

(57:03):
traditionally Western storytelling narrative structure, and I'm just not smart
enough to be able to adapt to it. So this
really didn't do. Plus i'd have to go back and
watch the first two seasons. I mean I can't. I'm
not going to jump into a season three of a show.

(57:23):
But if you've if you've been waiting for it, it
comes out in September twenty fifth.

Speaker 1 (57:27):
Yeah, I know something else you and I haven't watched,
or at least I haven't watched in completion is the
first season of Wednesday. We've talked about that quite a
bit on the show recently, but now we've gotten the
official trailer for season two, as opposed to the unofficial
teaser and the official teaser and the unofficial trailer. Now
we have the official trailer for season two, and it

(57:49):
at least piqued your interest, didn't it.

Speaker 2 (57:53):
Yeah, I actually really like this trailer. It looks I mean,
it's a little more action oriented than I would typically
think of for the Adams family, but that's a small quibble.
It looks quirky and weird, and Jenna Ortega looks like
she's having a lot of fun while she's maintaining that

(58:13):
expressionless countenance.

Speaker 1 (58:16):
Also, uh kubrick eyes.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
She calls it. Oh nice, it's I'm also a sucker
for musical references, and I don't know if it's going
to happen in the actual series, but the trailer has
direct musical references to Phantom of the Opera, including incorporating
the Phantom of the Opera music into the trailer, and

(58:39):
I totally dig on that. I was like, I don't
know if this is going to be in the series
or not, but it works for me. For this trailer, were.

Speaker 1 (58:45):
There more references than just the music throughout?

Speaker 2 (58:48):
I mean, you've got a bit where you've got a
whole bunch of people at a dance wearing masks. Thus,
like masquerade from Phantom of the Opera. There's another mask
that has writing on the inside of it. Like there's
a lot of mask image, which I don't know if
you know this. Maybe I know you're not as big
a theater person as I am, Ariel, but in Phantom
of the Opera, masks are kind of an important part.

Speaker 1 (59:08):
I don't know if you're being serious or if you're
nagging me.

Speaker 2 (59:12):
I'm just I'm just, I'm just I'm just yank in
your chain. I thought this trailer looked good. What did
you think?

Speaker 1 (59:21):
It does? Look good? It kind of looks better than
the first season did to me. I wonder if I
have to go back and watch the first season to
follow it. I bet they'll recap in the show. And yes,
I know masks play a big part. Although I've never
actually seen the Phantom of the Opera at a theater,

(59:42):
I've only seen the movie and listened to the soundtrack.

Speaker 2 (59:45):
I've seen it at least once, maybe twice, but I
remember the I think I have seen it twice. In
the first time I saw it, I was seated way
off house right, and my view of the stage was
directly in line with the mirror, where like I was
looking at the mirror edge on, so I couldn't see

(01:00:06):
the face of it. And one of the big effects
was where Christine, like the mirror changes from a mirror
into glass and then Christine walks through it and it's
like this big wow moment, and I couldn't see any
of that. I just saw a woman step through a
door frame.

Speaker 1 (01:00:21):
So, oh, Sad, I will tell you I am more
interested in the second season of Wednesday than I am
in Sandman Volume two.

Speaker 2 (01:00:32):
Well before we jump into Salmon Volume two. Great segue,
But a second season of Wednesday comes out in two chunks.
The first chunk comes out August sixth, the second chunk
comes out September third. But yeah, Samon's season two. Uh,
why do you think of this trailer? We got a teaser,
really not even a trailer for season two of Sandman.

(01:00:53):
A full disclosure, I didn't stick with Sandman all the
way through season one I watched up to I was
probably two or three three episodes away from the end
of it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
Sandman season one had two I thought, two really good episodes.
Both had death in them, the character death. There's a
lot of death in the show, but the character of
death was like the kind of the star of the
two episodes of season one that I liked. The rest
of the show I either didn't like, got bored, or

(01:01:23):
very much upset me. Honestly, the official teaser for season
two of Sandman, which also comes out in multiple chunks,
appealed to me a lot more than this actual trailer.
This actual trailer gives us some more of like the
storyline of like sand Man's going to have to pit
up against his siblings, but the teaser trailer made it

(01:01:44):
seem more fantastical, which brought me more joy than this
trailer does. This trailer makes me you have to care
about the characters you previously met.

Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
Yeah, I mean there's bits the I think are interesting
from a mythological perspective, Right, So you've got like the
kindly ones that's interesting to me, you know, the kind
of like the fates, harpies, whatever you want to call them,
but like there their name is somewhat ironic. There's also

(01:02:19):
you get to see a little bit with him in Constantine,
Joan Constantine in this version. That's fun because I like
the Constantine character. I think there was a little bit
with the Corinthian in there, which I would imagine was
dealt with in the first season.

Speaker 1 (01:02:38):
There was a bit with the Corinthian in there. He
was dealt with in the first season, but I don't
think entirely. Joan Constantine was also in the first season.

Speaker 2 (01:02:47):
Right, Yeah, I saw I think I saw her episode two,
but it was nice seeing her back. Like, I like
the character Constantine, and I like the interpretation with Joan
Constantine as opposed to John Constantine. I like both versions.
I just found the variation like it was interesting that
they made that choice and I don't know if there's
a textual reason for that that I liked it, And yeah,

(01:03:12):
I thought, I don't think I'm going to watch it,
but I admired it for its ambition. I think it's
the best way for me to put it, Like, I
don't know that I'll watch it, but I I admire
the fact that someone was putting something so imaginative into

(01:03:33):
a series because that's a big risk. It is a
shame about all the stuff that we learned about Neil Gaiman, obviously,
Like that's a huge issue. Yeah, and you know, you
can't just dismiss it, like that's death of the author
is a thing, but it's hard to separate the work
from the person who made it. But that definitely taints

(01:03:54):
things for me. But I do think that the imagination
on screen is pretty opressive.

Speaker 1 (01:04:01):
It is impressive. There's there's a lot of creativity there. Though.
If Martian Manhunter doesn't show up eating oreos, I'm out
that happens. That happened in a DC comic book for
this you don't know?

Speaker 2 (01:04:13):
Yeah, well, and Sandman. Early days, Sandman had some crossover
with the DC universe, but as this series went on,
there was more of a division. Like I want to say,
Scarecrow showed up in a very early Sandman comic. But
the series comes out in July twenty fourth, and then

(01:04:35):
we move on to a different season two that I'm
excited to see because it looks so stupid that the
first season was stupid too, but I enjoyed it and
it's for twisted metal.

Speaker 1 (01:04:46):
Yeah, I want to see it. Just I haven't watched
season one because they don't have Peacock. That's the only
reason I haven't watched season one of Twisted Metal. I
actually got to do a little scene from it Jonathan
red for me for an acting class, and that was
so much.

Speaker 2 (01:05:00):
Yeah, I got to read John Doe. That's the character
that Anthony Mackie plays, the main character, and I realized
very quickly, like I will never have even a tenth
of the riz that Anthony Mackie has.

Speaker 1 (01:05:18):
You know, it's hard though, because Anthony Mackie at least
got to be like in a set with like all
the dressing.

Speaker 2 (01:05:23):
It's also also he's incredibly handsome.

Speaker 1 (01:05:26):
You're incredibly handsome.

Speaker 2 (01:05:27):
Too, You're too kind.

Speaker 1 (01:05:30):
But I mean, I will not deny that Anthony Mackie
has RIZ. Yeah, so season two looks ridiculous. I want
to watch it. I really want to watch it because
I love Anthony Kerrigan.

Speaker 2 (01:05:41):
Yeah, he's playing a character named Calypso, who is the
he does he looks super dumb. Calypso is the guy
who's arranging the the Essentially, it's like a demolition derby
battle Royale tournament, and that's exactly what the Twisted Metal
games are like, there's no real story to Twisted Metal.

(01:06:04):
It's a shoot him up game, except instead of it
being a dude running around with a gun, you're driving
a vehicle around that has, you know, weapons that are
particular to whichever vehicle you've selected. So this is going
to be more like the video game. The first season
was inspired by the video game, and honestly, I thought

(01:06:24):
they did an amazing job because I was like, how
are you going to make a story out of this game?
And this is going to be a tournament that's closer
to what the video game is. It means that you
get characters like John Doe and Quiet, who are introduced
in the first season, but you also get Sweet Tooth,
who is from the games. This is the character that's

(01:06:44):
physically it's played by a wrestler named Samoa Joe, but
it's voiced by Will Arnett. And then there's a couple
of other characters. There's Dollface, Mister Grimm, and my favorite, Axel.
Axel is Axel's a wild character because he is physically
playing the part of an axle of a car. His
arms are the axle and he has two giant wheels

(01:07:07):
one at the end of each arm and he rolls
around like that and it's just as bonkers as you
think it is.

Speaker 1 (01:07:12):
I need to look up a picture of this because
oh my goodness.

Speaker 2 (01:07:17):
Okay, yeah, wild right.

Speaker 1 (01:07:21):
That is pretty not quite what I was picturing. I
was picturing someone kind of like in a perpetual cartwheel,
but still wild I know.

Speaker 2 (01:07:28):
Well, yeah, it's not not like that. It's more like,
more like imagine imagine a segue, but instead of the
segue part where you stand on it, there's a dude.

Speaker 1 (01:07:38):
Yeah yeah, I was thinking spoke, but he's an axle.
That is fun. Well, does it come out.

Speaker 2 (01:07:46):
July thirty first. But one other thing I want to
talk about is that this is going to make you
wish that we were in San Diego. And I apologize
because for Comic Con come up at the end of
this month, just before the show drops, or the first
episode drops on the thirty first. From July twenty fourth

(01:08:07):
through July twenty sixth, they're having an installation near Comic
Con and it's bumper cars and it's free and the
bumper cars are designed to look like the vehicles from
the series.

Speaker 1 (01:08:22):
That does sound delightful. I wish I were there, Hey someday.

Speaker 2 (01:08:26):
Maybe Yeah, yeah. I By the way, if you want
to go to that, if you're in the San Diego area,
make sure you look up the hours because it's like
noon to four on Thursday and then noon to six
pm on the other two days. And my guess is,
because it's free, you don't even need a badge, Like
you don't have to be going to comic Con to

(01:08:47):
try this out. My guess is that thing's going to
be slammed, literally because it's bumper cars, the donkers.

Speaker 1 (01:08:55):
Yeah, that does sound like exciting if you do go,
if you're listener and you go and you get to
ride a bumpercar, take a picture.

Speaker 2 (01:09:03):
I would like to see. I'd also like to see.

Speaker 1 (01:09:06):
Something else I'd like to see is the new movie
with Ryan Gosling called Project Hail Mary.

Speaker 2 (01:09:12):
Yep, based off a novel by Andy Weir, the guy
who wrote The Martian, And that book's not that old.
I think it published like in twenty twenty one or
twenty twenty two, so like this is a pretty quick adaptation.
I'm guessing that the movie rights were bought almost immediately
because The Martian did pretty well, so Ryan Gosling plays

(01:09:35):
a science teacher named Ryland Grace, who, for reasons I'm
sure will become clear at some point in the movie,
is kind of conscripted to go on a mission to
a distant star to learn why stars throughout the Milky

(01:09:58):
Way are dimming. It's it's potentially leading to like an
extinction level event if too much light dims and the
Earth no longer gets the energy it needs. Now. The novel,
from what I understand, and I haven't read it yet.
I did just purchase it, but I haven't read it yet,
is told where he and he wakes up from being

(01:10:21):
apparently in like essentially an induced coma for his journey
to this distant star. He wakes up with amnesia, doesn't
immediately remember why he is there, who he is, and
so the story unfolds as like a series of flashbacks
as he's starting to regain his memory and understand what

(01:10:41):
he's doing. I don't know if the movie is going
to be constructed that way or if it's going to
be in more traditional chronological order. It's hard to say
because we just got a trailer, and trailers are cut
up like crazy anyway. But the trailer looks good.

Speaker 1 (01:10:56):
It does look good. I had a friend because I
haven't read the new book. I actually had to in
the movie The Martian look up common Sense media so
that my anxiety could calm down. I love that movie.
I absolutely love that movie. But the first time watching it,
I was so scared for the characters.

Speaker 2 (01:11:14):
Yeah, I already I had already read the book when
I saw the movie, so like for me, it was like, wow,
they did a pretty good job adapting this novel.

Speaker 1 (01:11:23):
Yeah, but this one. One of my friends was like,
it's kind of bleak, and I was like, like The
Martian bleak because that turned out okay. So I've actually
read the synopsis of this book so I can determine
whether I want to watch it or not. I won't.
I won't spoil anything for you guys. But but sometimes,

(01:11:46):
like even if I know something bad is going to happen,
as long as I know, I'm not saying something bad happens,
I'm not saying something good happens. I'm just saying, like
knowledge is power.

Speaker 2 (01:11:59):
But gotcha rocks fall.

Speaker 1 (01:12:01):
They all diet, Yes, yes, just like screwtape letters. No,
that's actually not what happens in there. But the first
time I listened. I was listening to his screwtape letters
on a car drive to a larp through Tennessee, and
I kept seeing these signs for beware falling rocks. And
ever since then, my brain just equates that story with
falling rocks. I don't know why. Sorry, that's a complete

(01:12:22):
bunny trail, but it came out my mouth, so you'all
had to listen. And another possible thing that might bring
Jonathan to this movie is Milania fat Trumps in it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:33):
Yes, she's dreamy, she's also very She's also very funny.

Speaker 1 (01:12:37):
She's so funny. I love her on After Midnight and
like all the things I've seen her do, she's very funny.

Speaker 2 (01:12:44):
I think of her from that Werewolf movie because she
was like that werewolf movie, the one that was what's
his name? It was also from Dropout, the guy who
was always on Ruben it was. It was like one
of his movies, and its been called were Wolf, I
don't remember.

Speaker 1 (01:13:01):
It was called were Wolves Within.

Speaker 2 (01:13:03):
Were Wolves Within, I have seen it. But she's she's great.
She is the best element in that. Her performance is
the best thing in that movie. Uh, the movie's not bad,
but it's not fantastic, but her performance is a joy

(01:13:24):
I all the way through. I love her all the
way through that movie. So yeah, that definitely is a
is a tick on the positive side. But like I
was already interested, I do like Andy Weer's work, like
I like The Martian quite a bit, so I'm curious.
I'm also curious, like, what's the reason for the stars dimming?

(01:13:48):
The trailer shows a moment where he does have an
encounter with an alien life form and and a little
bit of of goofiness as he tries to establish a
form of communication with this alien. Uh, that's kind of
interesting and I'm hopeful that that ends up being a

(01:14:09):
nice element of this movie. I don't anticipate it having
a super happy ending based upon Aeriel's attempt to be
to be circumspect about it.

Speaker 1 (01:14:19):
I'm really I'm a really good actor. Maybe I'm misleading you.

Speaker 2 (01:14:23):
Maybe that's what's happening. Yeah, I'm you fooled me so
many times. All right, Well, let's ow.

Speaker 1 (01:14:30):
I can't I can't talk about anything else that wounded
me to my very core.

Speaker 2 (01:14:35):
Listen, I'm just saying I know you really well. We've
known each other for more than twenty years. It's hard. No, No,
I think I'm I think I'm getting close enough to
spoiled already. Let's let's talk about something else. Let's talk
about unreliable narrator.

Speaker 1 (01:14:53):
The movie yeah, or Scary Close Encounters of the third kind.
It's called Descendant, and it's a story about a guy
who you know, I knew this, like, gets abducted by
aliens and then can or like bunks his head and
then can draw weird alien landscapes.

Speaker 2 (01:15:12):
Yeah. Essentially, he's a security guard. He sees some weird
lights in the sky. Next thing he knows, he's waking
up in a hospital. He's got a head wound and
no real memory of what happened to him after he
saw the lights, and then he's able to draw these
pictures of like extraterrestrials and landscapes and things. And then

(01:15:36):
he starts to suspect that maybe he's been abducted. But
there's also the possibility that the combination of the head
trauma and actual childhood trauma he experienced is what's fueling
all this. So that's why I call it unreliable narrator
of the movie is because the way the trailers cut
and I think This is a smart decision. Honestly, the

(01:15:57):
way the trailers cuts, you're not sure if he actually
did experience something that could equate to extraterrestrials or if
this is all in his head.

Speaker 1 (01:16:09):
Yeah. Yeah, And it's not just spooky outer space stuff.
There's a lot of stuff that happens in his personal
life that is weird and maybe did did not happen,
kind of creepy, scary.

Speaker 2 (01:16:19):
It Actually, it actually reminds me. It reminds me a
bit of a horror short called The Chair on YouTube.
Have you ever seen the Chair?

Speaker 1 (01:16:26):
Have I seen the chair? Jonathan?

Speaker 2 (01:16:28):
You tell me, Yeah, though I'm guessing not. Okay, So
the Chair, the Chair. Let me give a quick summary
and you'll understand where I'm coming from here. It's a
short horror film on YouTube. A man sees a chair
left out at a curb, and he takes the chair home,

(01:16:51):
and then his wife comes home. He surprises his wife
with like flowers, and she sees the chair and she
immediately doesn't want it in her house, and so he
then takes the chair back to the curb and drives off.
And then like there's this whole thing where he's having
these conversations with his wife where some in some moments

(01:17:14):
she's super nice to him, in other moments she's screaming
at him, and she brings a chair, the same chair
back into their house, and he's like, he realizes he's
lost a chunk of time, a full week of time,
and that he has no memory of what's happening in
this week. His wife is telling him that he hasn't

(01:17:35):
been himself, that he's been awful, that he even got
fired from his job, that he's alienated his friends as
well as his wife, and he has no memory of
any of this. So it gets even more absurd and
strange from there. And like again, it's a short where
you feel like, oh, I think this is supposed to
be from the perspective of the husband and give you

(01:17:58):
the sense of someone who doesn't know what to trust,
even in their own mind. This movie makes me think
of the chair.

Speaker 1 (01:18:07):
Gotcha? Gotcha? Yeah? I mean it looks good. The acting
looks great. I'm not familiar with the lead guy, but
it has Sarah Bulger and Charlene and Moya and It,
who are both phenomenal actresses. It looks very well done.
It might be too scary for me, but it looks
very well done.

Speaker 2 (01:18:25):
Yeah, it comes out August eighth.

Speaker 1 (01:18:27):
And then the last trailer we have to talk about
today is for a property I didn't think I would
want to watch, but after watching the trailer, I am
all in. And that's for the remake of Red Sonia.

Speaker 2 (01:18:40):
Yeah. I was really curious what your take would be
on this because we chatted about this particular project ages
ago when it was just going into production. And now
we've got a trailer, and I'm interested that you said
you're all in and you want to watch it. Can
you expand on that talk to me about it, because
I had a very different reaction to this trailer, But

(01:19:02):
I genuinely was hoping really that we would Yeah, I
was just kind of hoping we would each have a
different perspective. So I would love to hear what made
you like buy in?

Speaker 1 (01:19:13):
So I the comic book, and I'm not super familiar,
but the comic book is about this female barbarian and
it's one of those comic books that, while I haven't
read it, it just appears that it's it's meant to
be like sexy girl art m hmm, And this trailer

(01:19:36):
makes it feel they they joke about the sexy girl
costume like the traditional red Sonia costume in the trailer,
and I don't mind scantily cloud women, but it feels
like there's more of a story and there's more of
an arc for the character than outward appearances. Then I

(01:19:57):
expect it is what I'll say, it looks fun in
actiony and periody of like trying to save my village
sort of a story.

Speaker 2 (01:20:07):
And it's fantasy, so yeah, because there's like there's creatures
that are obviously not earthly creatures you know, that are
from this fantasy because very cone in the barbarian esque. Yeah,
there's a great joke where she's being forced into essentially
gladiator combat and she's presented the scale male bikini and

(01:20:30):
she's like, was this supposed to protect? Oh it's not,
but the crowd's gonna love you in it. I was like, well,
that's a pretty funny joke to essentially like skewer the
whole male gaze aspect of this character, and to also
explain why she's wearing it as opposed to like she's
chosen to wear totally ineffective armor into battle. I did

(01:20:54):
like that part, but it felt to me like, first
of all, the digital video quality took me out of
it because I don't know something about the way the
digital video looked where I was like, this looks a
little too soap opera e to me in the quality
of the images. And also it was giving me like

(01:21:15):
early to mid two thousand's fantasy epic energy.

Speaker 1 (01:21:21):
I think I feel like that's more this like the
IP than necessarily the film quality for me, Like you
do certain stories and they're gonna have a certain feel. Yeah,
you do one the Barbarian or King Arthur, they all

(01:21:41):
have a certain feel.

Speaker 2 (01:21:43):
Yeah. It's also one of those movies where every line
in the trailer is like pure shlock, and not that
there's anything wrong with that, but it just comes across
as like, gosh, is this movie just gonna be schlock
all the way through? Or are there going to be
any moments where you feel like, oh, that was kind
of a genuine moment there. I can't say, because the

(01:22:03):
trailer was all pure schlock. Maybe that's what red Sonya needs.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:22:07):
I mean I thought it was a fun trailer. I
don't mind the schlock. I will say though, like another
selling point for me because I am that person who
will go see a movie because there are actors in
it that I like. Uh, Hannah John Kimmon is in it.
She plays ghost in the MCU mmm, the phasey one
in Thunderbolts Ghost okay, And Robert Sheehan is in it,

(01:22:32):
who played Klaus an Umbrella Academy, and he's there's such
a funny ah, such an amazing actor. They're they're funny,
they're they're they're very vulnerable, just superb. So I'm excited
to see Robert and other stuff. That's another big selling

(01:22:54):
point for me.

Speaker 2 (01:22:55):
Honestly, Well, I uh, I hope that you get a
chance to see this and then tell me about it
and whether or not I should like get over myself
and watch it, because I could totally just be completely
off base about this, right, like it just I don't know,
this trailer didn't hit me right, but maybe that's just
because the way the trailer was cut. The movie does

(01:23:17):
come out August fifteenth, and it will hit digital platforms
on August twenty ninth, So even if you're not like
able to go to a movie theater near you, showing
this in a couple of weeks will then be available
on digital platforms.

Speaker 1 (01:23:31):
I do wonder though, because sometimes you have issues with
like the video quality, and I know that you have
frame rate sensitivity. If watching it in a theater would
be better than watching it on a TV, if it
would read better.

Speaker 2 (01:23:43):
I don't know, Like I'm one of those people who
immediately turns off the smoothing feature on a television because
I can't stand it. I mean, it's great if you're
watching sports. If you're watching sports, it's fantastic, makes you
really feel like you're looking through a window at whatever
sporting event is. But for narrative storytelling, I hate it

(01:24:04):
because it makes me feel like it makes me feel
like I'm looking at a set as opposed to I'm
looking at a world.

Speaker 1 (01:24:10):
I've had that issue. I had that issue with Supernatural,
maybe with the Boys too.

Speaker 2 (01:24:15):
Maybe I had it twice on your birthday. My birthday
was yeh because the Hobbit.

Speaker 1 (01:24:22):
Hobbit, well, that had its a whole slew of problems.

Speaker 2 (01:24:27):
To the point where I never saw the third one.

Speaker 1 (01:24:30):
Me neither, you know me neither.

Speaker 2 (01:24:32):
We saw the first two in theaters and we never
saw the third one.

Speaker 1 (01:24:35):
I'm sorry. I can't. I can't keep apologizing for this.

Speaker 2 (01:24:39):
I know, well, you know, like I get it made me.
I tell you the valuable lesson it taught me. It's
that if I do things for my birthday, I don't
want to do a movie, not because I think that,
you know, there's the chance that people won't enjoy the movie,
but because I really like talking with my friends and
people hate it when you do that in a movie theater.

Speaker 1 (01:24:59):
So I'm gonna I'm going to amend what you say.
You don't want to only do a movie, because we
totally watched Jaws for your birthday.

Speaker 2 (01:25:06):
But that was that was in the privacy of a
cabin that was just us too, so like, and people
were talking during it, and it did irritate the shit
out of me. I'll bleep that out, but that did.

Speaker 1 (01:25:19):
I mean. So the thing is like, you know, when
Lord of the Rings came out, when the original trilogy
came out and I went to see that on my birthday,
or when like Star Trek movies came out and I
went to see that on my birthday with my friends.
The people generally, I can't say everybody, but generally the
people I went with were invested enough in those properties
that they were also engrossed in the movie and we

(01:25:40):
talked about it afterward.

Speaker 2 (01:25:41):
Yeah, that's the thing, Like you need to have the
post movie plan, right, you got to have the we're
all gonna convene at this place and we're going to
talk about what we just saw like that. That makes sense.
It's just when I want to celebrate somebody like the
thought of sitting in the dark for well it's a

(01:26:02):
Peter Jackson movie for seven hours. Then it's just not
appealing to me.

Speaker 1 (01:26:06):
Ah noted noted for future, if movies ever start coming
out on my birthday again, that I want to see
something is coming out this year on my birthday that
I'm not unexcited about. I don't remember what now.

Speaker 2 (01:26:17):
Yeah, the December December could be a rough time because
I mean you'll get you'll get Christmas movies occasionally, but
usually those will come out like round Thanksgiving. But you
also tend to get like weird horror movies released in
December for some reason, Like I guess it's all the ones, right, Well,
this wasn't good enough for us to release in time
for Halloween, so.

Speaker 1 (01:26:36):
It might be it might be either Wake Up Dead
Man or.

Speaker 2 (01:26:40):
Ana con Oh, yeah, I can see you wanting to
see both.

Speaker 1 (01:26:44):
Of those anti Conda less So I don't like creepy,
creepy real life future futures.

Speaker 2 (01:26:52):
But it's gonna be a it's gonna be a comedy,
like it's a horror comedy. Like Jack Black's involved in
that one, right, well, the original, the original is a comedy,
but not for the right reason. The original is unintentional.

Speaker 1 (01:27:07):
Unintentionally yeah, yeah, yeah, but yeah, I don't know where
we were going with this.

Speaker 2 (01:27:17):
I don't either. It is hot and there's a thunderstorm
rolling in outside my door.

Speaker 1 (01:27:23):
Yeah, movies, birthdays, YadA, YadA, YadA. But we're at the
end of our episode. So before the thunderstorms kick you
and possibly meet back offline, how can people reach you?

Speaker 2 (01:27:38):
So you're gonna go out at night and look up
at the sky and you're gonna be looking for a
really wild light show and when you see it, you're
gonna just kind of wake up some time later. How long.
You can't say what happened to you, You can't say
where are you? You're not sure, but you're gonna wake

(01:28:00):
up and you're gonna have a little little button next
to you and if you push that button, you'll hear
my voice, come over and ask you what you want,
and you get to ask me one question. Now, if
that question isn't what time is it? Where am I?
Who am I? What am I doing here? I don't

(01:28:20):
know how useful it's gonna be to you, right like
I can answer anything. You go ahead and ask me
whatever you want. But if it's not one of those,
I don't know it's gonna be a lot of help
in your immediate future. So all I'm saying is think
carefully before you ask me things, because everybody gets one.
But that's it.
