(00:32):
None. Today on Big Dumb Monsters,
Chris and guest host Arthur are in search of dog soldiers.

(00:55):
Werewolf thriller, action flick,whatever you want to call it,
Chris and Art are watching it. So here we go today on Big Dumb
Monsters. There we are.

(01:50):
All right, so I just have this idea that I'm going to change
your intro and not tell you about it, and then one day
you're going to play that when it gets to Godzilla instead of
doing his screech, it's going tobe there's something.
That would be fantastic. But you won't know that it'll
happen. Yes, as you can see, Nick is not

(02:14):
here. This week we have Arthur Fresh,
freshly sprung from Seacot. It's been a running joke.
Yeah, you've. Been.
Oh my God, That's not unrealistic.
Yeah, it is where I will be later on this year, I'm sure.
We had to trade Nick, though, sothat's why he's not here this
week. Yeah.
Yeah, it was their trade. He was one in, one out type of

(02:36):
thing. Yeah, Yeah.
I should probably start the movie.
It's a short movie. Thankfully.
Yeah, yeah. Well, I'm not short.
Short, but we are watching dog soldiers. 2002.
Yes, I have never seen this movie before yesterday.
I didn't see it when it came outin 2002, but obviously, you

(02:58):
know, it's a pretty highly ratedwerewolf movie, you know, So I,
I've definitely checked it out and I dig it and I've watched it
multiple times and I'll watch itagain.
Yeah. Oh, no, no.
I fucking loved it. It was awesome.
Good. I I completely had this mixed up
with another movie. I realized like, there was like
a sci-fi channel original movie with like army soldiers who

(03:19):
turned into werewolves. And like, that's what I thought
this was. That's why I didn't watch it for
so long. Oh, 'cause I'm like, that looks
like fucking garbage. Like, why would anyone like, how
can that be good, right? And then we picked it, you know,
for this week. And I'm glad I was mistaken.
Yeah, no, I I dig this movie. This is on the top 10 for sure

(03:40):
of my werewolf movies. Yeah, yeah, I know.
Like American Werewolf is still my number one.
Yeah, Yep, this is like this is up there.
I couldn't tell you exactly where.
I'd have to really think about it or finish my database.
Yeah, but you know, it's it's upthere.
Yeah, I'm trying to think of what number 2 would be.
That's hard. American Werewolf Paris maybe?

(04:02):
Definitely, Yeah, definitely. No.
Everybody just loves that movie.Wide lyric blood and chocolate.
Cursed cursed. Oh God, I I'm sorry.
We're working for the bottom up or.
Yeah, I don't know. The only thing about cursed is
that they werewolf giving the middle finger.
I just fucking hated that. It gets me, Yeah.
Because like, I'm at that point,I'm like, you don't care about

(04:24):
werewolf movies or good movies, so you're just doing stuff.
And I thought it was funny if it's just doing stuff.
Yeah, yeah. I really have to think about
this question because as of right now, dog soldiers it might
be too #2 Yeah. I just don't want to commit to
that even though this is almost as well rated to my brain.

(04:45):
To sum it up, it's basically Night of the Living Dead and you
replace zombies with werewolves and like confused people with
soldiers or. Hear me out.
This is what that movie werewolves should have been.
Yes. If they had made something like
this simple, gritty, violent. Yeah, TJ, you actually liked

(05:10):
Werewolves Within? I did not.
Oh, werewolves within. I didn't hate it.
I I immediately figured out who the werewolf was after the
first, like the first, like, youknow, werewolf attack scene.
Yeah. And I don't know, like I, I
didn't, I have to watch it againbecause I know like I was
digging it. And then like I went, by the end
of the movie, I was just like, oh, this kind of sucked.

(05:32):
Like as far as werewolf movies go, it's not high on my list.
It was a very, very watchable film.
But if I'm thinking about werewolf films, it's.
Yeah, I do like Sam Richardson, the dude.
He's from that show Detroiters with Tim Robinson, which is a
fucking hilarious show. I only know him from one thing.
I haven't seen all. It's the I think you should

(05:54):
leave, I think. He's in that too.
Yeah. He's the like the announcer for
the little buff boys like contest.
All right. Yeah, yeah, I.
Haven't seen a lot of that show,so that's over my head right
now, but you got a 5 year old that's real hard to watch
something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'd rather watch this with him around.

(06:15):
He'll tolerate, Buddy was. Very, very, you know, vocal.
About our own dog, Soldier. He did like bark at a few things
in this movie. I mean the hyper realistic dog,
like makeup. Yeah, maybe that's what he saw
and barked at. Well, the actual dogs too, in
this movie. He barked at.
Yeah. I mean, they telegraphed so many

(06:37):
things in this, like, I can't kill the dog, and then he keeps
the dog in the end. Yeah, Yeah.
You know. Yeah.
I mean by no means this is like,you know, fine cinema, Like, no.
You don't go into a movie like this.
No, you don't go to Rambo expecting, you know, an Oscar.
Yeah, she is hot. I know exactly who you're
talking about. Oh yeah, Lily.
Yeah, I may have had to watch that scene where she's dancing

(06:59):
to. I saw the sign once or twice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I saw a picture where it was a
picture of her in like a nice gown going out for some sort of
gala or whatever, and then it was her as the AT&T girl.
And they're like, they've been robbing us of this for all this
time. You want to fucking cell phones?
Yeah. Yeah.

(07:20):
Like, how dare they put that on the screen.
I'll be switching tomorrow. Let's just say she's very well
in doubt. Guys in love her buddy, I know.
I'm surprised he's not Boost Mobile, yeah.
Why don't you go sit in your chair?
But this movie, I mean. It's, it's, I mean, like my one

(07:45):
criticism is I wish it was about10 or 15 minutes shorter.
Wait, this comes in at like 1:45?
Yeah and yeah. It deserves to be the goofy,
cheesy 90 or not 90 up pseudo 90s and action Y 90 minute Yeah
cool 90. 90 minutes, perfect. Like you're in, you're out.

(08:08):
It's bloody, it's violent. You don't need more than that
much. You're trying to win an Oscar.
Yeah, like the part that kind ofdrags on is like once they're in
the cabin, like there's a lot offucking just like I'm not
getting repetitive stuff. Yeah, yeah.
I mean, we trim a lot of that. Trim the conversations down.
Don't make as many trips up and down the check on people you.

(08:29):
Wanna go outside? Yeah, don't have any as many
times where like I gotta go check out this person.
I'm going to come down here and have a conversation with that
person. Yeah, this is annoying.
This is going to be a problem. Come on, go inside.
Normally I could tolerate it pretty well, but like I said, I
got the dog that's going to see now that screams pretty 24/7.

(08:49):
Come on, we're going to go inside, Bubba.
It's really burning my patience.Is it going to be quiet?
Yeah. It's too late.
Well, now it's the Arthur show. So yeah, that means we got to
get the. Got it.
Come here, bud. Well, we got to come up with our
own flag because I don't want the Russian flag coming down.

(09:13):
Well, USSR is not Russia, so. Yeah.
So dog soldiers. La La La La.
And there's Chris. I'm.
Coming. I'm coming.
I died, I tried, and then I ran out of things to say very fast.
So I was trying to tell you earlier.

(09:34):
For me a joke is made either by I can't remember for some reason
there I only have two criteria and I've forgotten one of them,
but the one that matters to me is commitment to the bit.
Now there is a reference made later on in the movie that I
think it's the only reason that character is named that.
Later on, the character Spoon gets completely demolished and

(09:56):
turned into a puddle. Yeah.
And the one guy says where's Spoon?
And the other guy says there is no spoon.
This came out right after The Matrix.
Yeah, they named that character Spoon.
Just a hammer. Yes, to liquify him and say that
joke. I love it.
I fucking love it because I always thought it was a stupid.
Name. I also like T JS joke.

(10:18):
She's not 5G, she's 42, double G.
Oh, we got a hydrate already? Damn, all right, I missed that.
She's pretty 2 GTL. Yeah, I'm already well into my
second beer. This is this is great.
Yeah. So I love the cold open.

(10:39):
It's for for people that aren't going to be part of the film.
It's the right length before they get eaten by the werewolf.
Yeah. Like an American Werewolf in
London. It's got that same build, except
one of the main characters is there, so it has to be a little
bit later on to develop the characters.
Yeah, both of those people get eaten.
That was perfect. Yeah, we don't even know.
Kind of a brief idea of who theyare and what they're doing.

(11:01):
And they're dead, Yeah. And it was done at night
aggressively with a not a lot showing.
You know it's werewolves, but like what do they look like at
that? .1 of my criteria is how long
you have to wait to see a werewolf.
Yeah. Also, it depends on whether he's
a protagonist or an antagonist. If it's a protagonist werewolf,
it's a little. Different.

(11:21):
It is a bit in this one before we see a werewolf if I remember
correctly. Well, that first scene.
Well, yeah, that's quite make them out.
We get like the jaws like beginning basically.
Which is OK with me. Yeah, because that leaves you
something to build to. Yeah, we did get to see.
We know the monster. There's no games, there's no
bait and switch. I wish, like I know there's
another thing they could have cut out is like a little bit of

(11:42):
like the back and forth between the soldiers in the beginning
too. Because like, I mean, we do get
to know the characters, like, you know, the main characters,
but like, there's a lot of fucking disposable characters in
this movie who, like, are gone quickly.
Yeah. So we don't really need a lot of
time with each of these guys andthis build up here.
Yeah, I understand why we had tomeet Coop and learn about his

(12:04):
dismissal. If that's the storyline you're
going with him not getting into the special, Special Forces.
Yeah, that's podcasting. Yeah, but I don't think.
Special Forces takes the short plane to missions.
Yeah, yes, they do. Oh boy, Tropic kind of really

(12:24):
hurt us. Yeah, they have problems.
Tonight. One of us is saying one of those
words. We yeah, we were watching Tropic
Thunder right before this, so yeah.
Bad things are going to happen, no.
Yeah. But that doesn't necessarily
need to be the plot. Them doing this mission is
enough of plot, Yeah, I didn't need the whole like special

(12:46):
forces soldiers trying to capture them thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, That does kindof like overly complicated, but
yeah, you know, these guys are, they're on a training mission,
they're in the Army or whatever.And like, that's why they don't
have real guns. Like they're on training thing,
like, right. Yeah, Get right to it.
Yep. I do.
What was I going to say? Brain melted.

(13:07):
In this movie they looked a little different, which is a big
plus for me. Oh yeah, they went with a hybrid
style lycanthrope with the dog legs and tall and thin.
They actually this is part of the trivia.
They hired dancers, not stuntmen.
Yes, yeah. So.
That they would move like gracefully as the wolves.
And you know what? Now that I've read that.

(13:29):
It kind of pays off like in the one scene where I think it's
like it's toward the beginning. I think when they're first, like
trying to get to the cabin, whenwe first kind of see the
werewolves, we really only see them in like, silhouette, right?
Like in quick flashes. And they're moving like pretty
quickly and like, right. And they're, again, they're
moving like pretty gracefully. Like they're moving naturally,

(13:50):
like you think like a wolf would.
Yeah. Like a wolf man would.
Going back to the, you know, description, they I like, yeah,
like you were saying that they're like a humanoid, like
wolf man type, but they have like the head of like the
American Werewolf in London typeof werewolf.
Yeah, very dog like, very strong, although they have a
longer, thinner jaw which almostmakes them hyena ish.

(14:10):
Boots. What's going on, man?
Boots. Welcome.
Welcome. Yeah, yeah, They look like
better versions of the werewolves in Werewolves
Actually, that's. Again, this is what werewolves
should have been and probably was trying to be, now that I
think about it. Yeah, and that's probably why I
hated it so much, because I'd already seen that movie and it's
done a much. Better movie they're.

(14:32):
Like don't let them in the house.
Zombie survival done with werewolves.
I've I've seen it and I've seen it much better.
Yeah, yeah, now, yeah. Now you think about it like you
mention, it is like how much werewolves was just biting off
of that. Yeah, army guys versus
werewolves thing, right? God that movie was disappointing

(14:54):
with your fucking gorilla alligator wolves.
Yeah, like I said, they took these and then added crocodile
DNA or some shit. Yeah, This is like you talked
about right here at the opening when they're just kind of like
hanging out. This could have been a lot
shorter. Yeah, a lot shorter.
If you like, it pays off the joke about the football game at

(15:16):
the end when you see the headlines like at the at the end
of the movie. Oh yeah, yeah.
It's like England 5, Germany won.
They did just say that the couple was murdered and that
people in around there saying that it was done by a an escaped
lunatic, which is American world, which I think they pay

(15:37):
homage to that one other time, but I can't remember what it is.
Yeah, there was something in, I can't remember what it was, but
like there was something in thisthat was a clear shout out.
Yeah, to say like another movie or something.
But like it not in a RIP off kind of way, like in an homage.
Like, hey, we like what you did.Yeah, yeah.
Like it was a character name or something that was like clearly

(15:57):
from something. Else oh Wells.
His name is Harry G Wells, HG Wells.
Yeah, yeah. It wasn't that, though.
The basic concept made zero sense.
That is also true. Well, yeah, like a Super Wolves.
Why? Because there's a super moon, of
course. And all they had to do was stay

(16:19):
inside, just go inside. Or you know what?
Why don't we all go outside thisway?
We're all werewolves and like nobody.
Wants to eat each other. Yeah, yeah.
Weird fucking might happen. I don't know what.
I don't know what a hybrid baby that's conceived during the full

(16:41):
moon is going to come out as. Would it be a we're human where
like, it's only human like one day, like, you know, one or two
nights a month? So there's a book by Terry
Pratchett called Reaper Man, andin it there's all the clocks
with people's time of death and everything, and the Grim Reaper
gets his own one day because he's just not scary enough

(17:02):
anymore, so he decides to just quit so nobody's dying anymore.
So anyway, that's just the premise of the story.
In it, there's a werewolf woman and there is a person who is a
hybrid humanized wolf man who turns into a human on the full
moon or something like that. So yeah, he becomes, Oh no, he
becomes a wolf man on the full moon, but he's a dog the rest of

(17:24):
the time. That's what it is.
OK, All right, he's. A dog that turns into a wolf
man. She's a pure person that turns
into a wolf man. So the rest of the month she's
just his bad dog. Yeah, but then on the full moon
they fuck. Well, they're in love or
whatever, but you know the implication.
Yeah, that's pretty, pretty wild.
You made me think of it with a hybrid baby be born as.

(17:47):
The hybrid baby would grow up tobe JD Vance.
That's not unrealistic. Oh God, talk about the need for
abortion, Christ. Everything's fine.
Yeah, let's go back to this again.

(18:09):
This is the partly, this is the 15 minutes they should have cut
is all the dialogue with the soldiers.
We get it. We love it, soldiers, but we
just want to see him shoot at werewolves and see what happens,
you know? Yeah, that's what I want.
You know what we could have donewith this time instead?
Maybe they don't find that Lady right away.
Maybe they have to spend a nightout in the woods alone like they
do. And maybe they have to go
predator style building traps. Oh.

(18:32):
God that would be awesome. Then the the very end of the
whole plot with the woman would be much shorter because they'd
get to the cabin during the day and they'd try and do all that
stuff during the day. But then that night, you know,
they wouldn't have been able to do it.
And she'd do the same speech, like, oh, I thought you could
Get Me Out of this, but I guess not.

(18:54):
Shit, I'd like to see that movie.
So yeah, you sacrifice some of the character build up here that
we don't technically need, and then half the time that they're
in the cabin for that. Yeah, werewolf traps.
Yeah, Werewolf home alone. Yeah, valuable position to 3rd

(19:16):
mic. He does have a third mic when he
is here. Yeah, I just don't have it on.
Usually, let's see, I, I, we kind of touched on this.
I really like the look of the wolves in this, you know for for
like a low budget movie like they made the most of with what
they had like. Yeah, they specifically wanted

(19:39):
to do practical effects in animatronics because this is
again, circa The Matrix and theywere like CGI is just, it's, we
don't trust it, we don't love it.
It's not ever going to be as good as the real thing.
So we're going to spend a bunch of our budget on real effects,
which is basically where we are with AI right now.

(20:00):
Yeah, yeah, we're like now we have people begging for like
human made fucking right. CGI effects won't.
Be as good as a human made thing.
Yeah, yeah, I could do it. But it's just it'll never have
the creativity of the human, which is.
It is weird. CGI 2 practical effects
argument. Yeah.

(20:23):
Yeah, like I we never really like what we do kind of towards
the end get like shots of the wolves full on.
They do save it for the end. Yeah, yeah.
But again, see them in full standing and stuff.
Yeah, you know, they have to like, kind of hide the seams,
you know, because it's a low budget movie, right?
Yeah, I, I, I really enjoyed this movie.
Like I'm disappointed I haven't watched it before yesterday.

(20:45):
This would be like the perfect like because there was a while
when like I really only tried towatch like horror movies and
stuff in like spooky season likefrom September to October.
You're really doing yourself a disservice.
Yes, you can't watch enough in that month.
You know, but it would be like every like Friday or Saturday
night, it would just be like, I have nothing to do.
I'm just going to watch like fucking whatever horror movies I

(21:06):
want, you know? And like this would have been
perfect for that time, like latenight, like feel like a werewolf
movie. Boom.
I've never seen this before. Yeah, if you're not into
werewolves and you saw this, you'd probably be a little bit
into werewolves. Yes, the Werewolf by Night
special in Disney Plus is fucking awesome.
Phenomenal. Yeah, Yeah.

(21:27):
For for a show that's fucking phenomenal.
I really want them to do more with that because it was so
good. Why does he get a stand out
movie? You know I.
Watch it. Apparently that is kind.
I heard a saw thing like within the past couple days that's
going to be like one of the things they're focusing on.
The next like Marvel phase is like the spookier stuff.
It's going to be like, nice, yeah, like Werewolf by Night and

(21:48):
man thing and stuff like that. Very cool.
Yeah. So who's the toughest soldier in
all of the movie? The dude who was wrestling his
guts away from the dog at one point.
Yeah, OK, I see why you picked that.
But I picked Spoon who fist fights an 8 foot tall werewolf

(22:08):
and when he finally just stabs it to death, yeah another one
comes in and grabs him by the throat and his only response is
I hope I give you the shits. And then he spits in its mouth.
That is a man's man. Yeah, yeah, that's a death scene
right there. Yeah.
Or the other guy, too, that you're right behind me, aren't

(22:30):
you? Yeah.
Dude, he tried to fight, he tried to fight, he tried to
fight. Let's have it, yeah?
Doesn't last long, but you know.But I respect the game.
I don't want to jump ahead to trivia, but I know it's trivia
about that scene too, all right?But yeah, the wolf vision wasn't
really super necessary. Yeah, that is kind of like a Sam

(22:51):
Raimi like shout out or. We actually they mentioned that
again in the trivia that they even referenced the Evil Dead in
this somewhere. Maybe that's what it was that
like I picked up on. Yeah.
And so then some of the things they did were inspired by that,
so maybe that's exactly what they were going for with the
wolf. Vision is the demon thing.

(23:11):
Yeah, because it does not move naturally like a person or wolf.
Yeah. No, All right.
I think we can throw some ratings on this.
We've been talking almost 1/2 anhour.
Oh shit. All right.
I'll take us out here. I for never having seen this,
like I I really enjoyed the hellout of this movie.
It's I mean it like, you know, core concept night of the living

(23:33):
dead with werewolves, like that's perfect.
That's what I want. I'm going to go I'm going to
give this an 8. Like it.
It really delivers like it for alittle low budget movie that
doesn't have like, you know, I'massuming much they didn't have
much to work with in like effects department.
What they had they they did everything they could with it

(23:54):
because it looks amazing. So yeah, definite thumbs up.
I I highly highly recommend it. TJ also gave it an 8.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna surprise you.
I actually think it's more like a nine.
All right, that's I can totally respect.
Because I have complaints, but there's no movie I don't have
complaints about. That can't be why you don't give
it a 10, really. It's just the unnecessary things

(24:15):
that drags for me, you know? Yeah, I'm, I'm losing.
That definitely. Like the moment?
That's where I'm like knocking some points off.
Like it it, it does tend to draglike a little bit here in the
beginning and then like a littlebit after they get to the cabin
like you can, you can definitelychop some stuff out.
This whole day of travel is exactly what I was talking
about. You know, this is where the
traps. That's why you know it's not a

(24:37):
10. Wow, this this cat, this little
gully here was made for a fucking log trap to swing down
and hit somebody that has to walk out.
Like some rocks to fall down. Like, yeah, War of the
Gargantuas. No complaints, All right?
I love War of the Gargantuas. Nick doesn't.

(24:57):
I think that's why it's recommended so frequently, even
though you've already done it. Yeah.
So I'd go with 9. I you know.
Now I can totally respect that. IMDb has that as 6-8, which I
think is criminally, criminally low.
Yeah, we can finally rate this. Now we do 1/2.
No. So just go with eight.
Yeah, no, fuck it, we'll do it tonight.

(25:20):
Just to counterbalance the 6-8. Yeah, yeah, it deserves better,
damn it. God damn it.
Yeah. Like it's that's heavily waved
out probably by one star reviewsthat are stupid that we're going
to go over later. Yeah, yeah.
Like snobs and shit. We were looking at them and we
had to stop because I was getting so fucking angry.
Like the things they were nitpicking.

(25:40):
This movie wasn't going for an Oscar, so shut the fuck up.
Yeah, not every movie like has to be cinema.
Not everybody, like not every meal is like gourmet cuisine.
Sometimes you just want fucking boxed macaroni and cheese.
And that's OK. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right, we'll we'll move on to some trivia.
We're going to you know, I'm just a double team this, but

(26:03):
this sounds weird. We're.
Just going to do it together. Yeah, we're just going to have
Nick's camera. Really.
Not the body with trivia. That's just who just said what.
Oh my God. But conceptually, this movie set

(26:30):
in World War 2 Germany. Oh my God.
Where it's like the same. It's British soldiers trapped
behind enemy lines. Yeah, against Nazi werewolves.
Yeah, in the middle, like the forest somewhere in Germany,
like, you know, Yeah. Oh my God.
Yeah, I would watch the fuck outof.
That fucking awesome. That might be #2 if that
existed. Yeah, unlike the movie that's

(26:53):
about Polish soldiers escaping German werewolves.
Project werewolves. Yeah, whatever, whatever the.
Fuck, it was called, which is just.
I didn't realize that that's what they called the Nazis who
refused to surrender. Yeah.
So because I don't know history,you fucking tricked me?
Should mean to watch on history based.
Movie, you know, it was so good.It's just that I was mad that it

(27:14):
was what I wanted. Anyway, anyway, yeah, let's pull
up some trivia. T Rivia All.
Right. Nope, those are the reviews.
Did I close the fucking there? It is, I just put it.
In the wrong place? That's not the first time I've
heard that. Let's see.

(27:39):
There's the one about the dancers cuz he wanted the
elegant movements. Yes, set was designed to force
them to have to bend upon entering.
So look, yeah, that's pretty cool.
Yeah, like I said, they look like they're 7-8 feet tall,
which is incredible to do with live actors, you know, stilts
and stuff. This was good.
In the scene where Wells asked Cooper to knock him out, Kevin

(27:59):
Mckidd throws a stage punch the first time, but misjudges the
distance of the 2nd and catches Sean Pertwee on the nose.
Pertwee didn't feel the punch, however, as he was really drunk
for that scene. Further down, you're going to
find out why he was drunk. Really.
Yep. He said to the director, you
know, do you want me to just getdrunk for the scene?
And the director said, yeah, fuck.

(28:21):
Or he said, do you want me to have a few drinks for the scene?
And the director said, yeah, fuck it, let's do it.
And he doesn't know how much a few drinks is, but he said,
that's the best drunk acting I've ever seen in my life.
So. It is a good season.
Hit me. Sean Pertwy, which you'll see

(28:41):
right there. Some of the corpses hanging in
the basement are actually from Event Horizon, which is Sean
Pert. We was in.
He was the one of the soldiers on the Rescue Squad.
Oh, no shit. Yeah, all right.
Very little CGI was used. That's why they.
Yeah, they used to. They thought, you know, CGI was

(29:02):
being overused. Which like preach brother.
And it's gotten better but doesn't make it OK.
Simon Pegg was offered a role inthe film.
But turned it down. Glad it didn't happen though.
Number one, it got a Shaun, Shaun of the dead #2 that would
have taken it in a different direction.
Yeah. That it would have been more

(29:23):
comedy, horror, black comedy. I don't know if I would have
loved it. And I Shaun of the Dead is A10
in my book. Yeah, no, I get that.
But I'm saying I don't know if this would have done that.
It's a serious script, you know.After the film's release, it was
for a long period of time the most watched movie by British

(29:44):
forces out in Afghanistan and Iraq.
I mean, they would have had a limited selection of movies.
They wanted this one, which is about a group of soldiers
surviving. Shooting at werewolves.
Shooting at werewolves. I don't have a problem with that
makes sense to me. That's logical.
All right, read the Wolf's Hour.Allied werewolf soldier behind

(30:05):
enemy. Yes, I have read the Wolf's.
Hour anhydrate. I have read the Wolf's Hour, it
is a fucking phenomenal book. All right.
Yeah, I'll have to remember that.
Very early on the the werewolvesin that are more dog like, wolf
like. They have canine sex in wolf
form very early in the book. All right, that's going to be

(30:27):
one of the things on your on your database.
Is there wolf sex in the movie? Yeah, yeah, no, that's on there.
All right, all right. I'm late to the game.
Sorry. Is there wolf sex?
Yes. I'm not telling you whether that
makes it higher or lower rated. Is it tasteful?

(30:48):
Tasteful werewolf sex? It's topically accurate.
That's a fucking album game right there.
Tasteful werewolf sex. Like if I I need to become a
musician just so I can have an album.
The number of band and album names I've come up with just
sitting around saying dumb. Shit.
Tasteful werewolf sex. Yeah, I I can get Tom to name

(31:09):
his next album. Remember that.
That's going to be awesome. I want a writing credit.
There you go. Oh, here it is.
Yeah. He asked if he could have a few
drinks. I don't know how many.
A few was, yeah. That's amazing.

(31:32):
Oh, he's pulling the bandages, not the guts.
OK. Yeah, but it's still so gross to
watch. It doesn't matter.
That's what I thought it was. Actually I'm OK with that
because like, why go for the Super gross thing?
You know you can still get there.
The script originally called forthe dog to pull out the wounded
soldiers exposed intestines, butNeil Marshall changed it to
pulling the bandage instead. People think it's intestines

(31:53):
anyway. Yeah, not much you can do about.
That, Yeah, and the bandage is bad enough.
OK Yeah, again, that's exactly what I fell for Yeah.
Sean Pertwee, HG Wells. We mentioned that sadly never
produced sequel. Remember about Cooper being
locked up in a mental mental institution?

(32:14):
What the? Werewolf was already inside the
asylum. Oh, the dude camper from the
beginning. OK, and had been turned into a
werewolf, turning numerous, numerous inmates, doctors and
nurses into werewolves, forcing Cooper and the surviving
inmates. Oh my God, it's Alien 3.
Oh my God. It's Alien Three with
werewolves. Yeah, kind of.
There's only one like werewolf, you know.

(32:37):
Well, one alien. In an Alien three I get that,
but same concept. God damn.
Oh, I need to see that. I would actually have liked it
better if it was just the 1 werewolf and it was literally
Yeah say it, Asylum and werewolf.
Kevin Mccraw, Kid cracked a rib in the first few days of
shooting and hid it from the director.
Yeah. Oh yeah.

(32:57):
Did you see who they wanted to replace him?
Jason Statham. Who turned it down for what
movie? Ghosts of Mars.
Good fucking choice buddy, Good fucking.
Choice. This would have been the better
choice. We did Ghosts of Mars way the
fuck back on this show. Bad movie.
Yeah, no, that was not good. It's never going to be a sequel,

(33:19):
damn it. Although I still think there's a
spiritual sequel to this becauseI distinctly remember British
Werewolf soldiers in a movie. All right.
Do you remember like a secret facility where they keep them
and everything that is so clearly catch up on condoms?

(33:40):
Yeah. The intestines are not great.
They put the effects on the werewolves.
Werewolves, yeah. And I'm OK with that.
Yeah, like colored water balloons, basically with
ketchup. Yeah, maybe takes place on the
first or second of September 2001.
Well, if you thought that was a bad day, boys.

(34:04):
Oh God, 9 or 10 days later. At least they didn't have to
worry about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh my God. I'm just looking forward to a
few weeks of R&R with nothing bad happening.
Where you going? I'm touring New York City.
So there's the the thing I was saying about that one scene, the

(34:25):
the dude who plays the soldier who drives the, the, the Land
Rover doesn't know how to drive.But he waited until that point
to tell the director, yeah, whenthey got to filming that scene.
And so as a punishment, he had him do it anyway.
And he ran and he ran off the road.
That's. Great, then it was done,
probably by a stunt driver. Ketchup on condoms is also

(34:48):
called the Alabama Hook Out. Apparently there's a reference
to Eddie Oswald in every one of Neil Marshall's movies, but he's
never actually had the character, he's only mentioned.
Huh. I'll have to go back and check
that out. Yeah.
Like what? What do we know about him?
Build a character out of that, you know?

(35:10):
There is no spoons and out of the matrix.
Yep, which I find and. Love to commit, one of the Bruce
soldiers called Bruce Campbell. That's what it was like.
That's got to be, yes. And heavily, partially inspired
the plot. Yeah, other films, yeah, I think
I got carried away with the references.
Their unit badge is a wolf's head with a spear through it.

(35:32):
All right. So like it's a reference right
from the get go, they're the. Killer.
So yeah, because the Liam Cunningham wolf gets stabbed
with the sword. Oh, he does that multiple times.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, my God, That's Liam
Cunningham. Yeah.
Well, we were going to get to that and the better known as
but. Yeah, I just realized that's who
that is because you said it. Yeah.

(35:53):
Huh. That's why the voice sounded
familiar. Let's see Neil Marshall aim for
authenticity with his squatties,in part because his father and
grandfather were both in the military.
Oh OK that makes sense. It said earlier on that a lot of

(36:16):
the crew were ex military as well, so when they were doing
the helicopter dumping scene thecrew just did it in costume for
them. No shit.
Yeah, because they didn't help the insurance, right?
Here, Yeah, the insurance didn'tcover the actors jumping into
the helicopter. So the crew did it because they
happened to be ex military but they probably helped them saying
with the you know the making them more authentic.
Yeah, it did premiere on the Sci-fi Channel.

(36:40):
Oh, huh. It did get a one week, one week
run at the Egyptian Theatre in LA.
Well, that's better than nothing, but not what it
deserved. Ketchup on Condoms would also be

(37:01):
a good album made by the way. Yeah, tasteful werewolf sex.
The fallout to ketchup on condoms.
Yeah. So transformation this this fact
is about transformations. And I gotta say, they do very
little visuals with the transformation.
That's fine. Yeah, don't do it if you're not
confident. Yeah, exactly.
If you can't pull it off, it's perfectly fine to do what they

(37:23):
did. Yeah, do like cutaways.
Yeah, you see him like, you know, in the one scene, like he
sprouts the nails, he's got the teeth and he like he falls down,
comes up, he's a werewolf, totally fine.
That is way better than having ashitty looking transformation
like dad will get some points knocked off the movie.
Yeah, so he did old school techniques such as like with
Liam Cunningham, where he just falls down behind the table.

(37:45):
Yeah. And then when he stands up, he's
the wolf. Fine, it works cheesy Scooby-doo
ish but it saved a lot of money and time.
The song she plays is Claire de Lune, which is.
Moonbeam and they somehow connect that to American
Werewolf London just because thesongs all had moon entitled I
don't this is the wall is blue. I don't know if you know, like

(38:08):
the literary thing. What is the author saying?
Sometimes they're saying the wall is blue.
Sometimes it's just a fucking blue wall.
Yeah. Took six years to refine the
script all right and acquire financing, OK that.
That was probably 5 1/2 years. Ago, Yeah, yeah, not to be an.
Ass. But yeah, like 6 months for the

(38:28):
script of this seems not too bad.
Avoid. Do you want Marshall One to
avoid cliches about werewolf curses or how awful it is to be
a werewolf? Exactly.
Just give me a fucking down and dirty like I don't bloody
werewolf movie, Yeah. Especially with werewolves.
I don't need a sympathetic villain either, you know?
Yeah, I don't even like the girl, like her whole thing.

(38:50):
Yeah, yeah, her like tricking them.
Yeah. And her like to reveal that
she's a werewolf. Yeah, it was kind of empty.
You. Know yeah.
He feels like, oh, OK, yeah. No, like, just fucking.
I just want a movie where werewolves, like, just are just
vicious animals that have to be put down.
Like, yeah, yeah. There is no offense or what's
about it. In fact, the it's implied that

(39:11):
the werewolves in this are cannibals even when they're in
human. Form.
Oh, no shit. All right.
Think about it. They're they're, they're a
seller. It's filled with bodies that are
being butchered. Yes.
They are still eating that meat.What do you think the Stew was
made of that they ate earlier? No shit, I didn't even put that
together. Even says that it tastes like
pork. Yeah, and a lot of cannibals

(39:32):
report that. It's human meat.
Tastes like pork. Yeah.
Huh. I did not put that together, I
think. It's in the.
I don't know. It might be.
Some of that might be. The most unbelievable thing in
this movie. Wait, it said this was set in
Scotland? OK, yeah, the most unbelievable
thing in this movie is that I isthat there would be any place in
Scotland that is 4 hours away from any other human being.

(39:55):
There's a there's a fact about that.
Yeah. The dude that plays Cooper
happens to be Scottish and he from day one was so itchy about
the fact. That that's not possible?
Yeah, nothing. 4 hours away in Scotland.
Even like when I thought it was just set in like England, I'm
like, that's not possible in England.
Like fucking. Yeah, I know.
You'd have to go from, like, very southern tip all the way up

(40:16):
into Scotland to do that. I even want to say that they
chalked it up to her being an unreliable narrator or like,
like people in tense situations being unreliable narrators.
Yeah. Neil Marshall says the
werewolves merely feel compelledto change on the night of the
full moon and can hold it back if they wish.

(40:38):
That retroactively makes the family even more evil, since
they apparently change willingly.
I think I, I do, I do think thatthat's again, I think they're
cannibals when they're human form too.
So I think that's probably true.Yeah, Yeah, it does also.
Explain why the girl didn't turnwhen the other wolves did, whose
name I can't remember. The British lady whose teeth

(41:00):
barely got worse when she transformed.
Nothing like too interesting so far.
Well, we're getting down in there now.
Yeah. East of Boden Moore, Bodeman

(41:25):
Moore. It's apparently British
folklore. They mentioned that at one
point. Yeah, that's right before, right
after that, as they mentioned anescaped lunatic that it.
Neil Marshall claims he wrote this film as a knee jerk
reaction to American Werewolf inParis, which he thought was
terrible. Wait, so that did one good

(41:46):
thing? Yeah, movie did one good.
Thing he gave us this movie, which is on the opposite
spectrum of fucking absolutely. That movie was so fucking bad
like. It was, there was nothing really
redeemable about that movie. No.
How fucking dare you. Yeah, like, like building that
franchise that poorly, which it's not even a franchise

(42:08):
because of you. It was like a.
It's a. Stand alone film with nothing
else. It was a 2 hour Mountain Dew
commercial with werewolves basically like.
Oh my God. Yeah.
Fuck American Werewolf in Paris.Scene of Sergeant Wells being

(42:32):
found with his intestines spilled out was especially
unpleasant for Sean. Aren't we?
I guess that that's ever going to be pleasant.
They used raw sausages, which quickly went off and stank.
Oh my. God, Rod Ross sausages.
I think he'd rather have the ketchup and guns.
The fake blood would freeze in the cold weather.

(42:56):
We'll start the sunshine as we are shooting back, just for one
scene. They know how to use guns and
after that it's just kind of lost.
Damn. Yeah, Yeah.
All right. I think we can.
No, no. We talked about Statham.
Yeah, some of them, like, are incestuous.

(43:18):
The facts. So Spoon is oh, go ahead.
Neil Marshall was in the 17th or18th draft of the script when it
finally came time to shoot. See, I love this movie, but I
feel embarrassed for you that that's her 18th.
That's her 18th try. Yeah.

(43:39):
The guy that plays Spoon is an actual boxer.
All right? So they had him use that, which,
you know, it does look good. So bye, Bye.
Yeah, that, well, they paid off at the end, like the the silver
knife at the beginning, I thought that was gonna be way
more like, yeah, he stabs him with it at the end and that was

(44:02):
it. That's an actual Chekhov's gun
that fires. Yeah, yeah.
Which? Is great.
All right, I think we're gonna move on from here.
Yeah. What?
Not that we have much in the department of fucking.
Oh, we have one star reviews too.
That's that's what you say that's next, right?
Yeah, let's look at that bullshit.
It's. Fucking there we.
Go click any 10. Obviously I also disagree with,
but not as aggressively as I am for these.

(44:23):
Yeah, Dog of a Movie. This looked bad from the start,
but I gave it an hour to show some indication that it might
become interesting, scary, intelligent or humorous.
No, it's not any of those. It's interesting.
It's. I like watching it.
It's a little bit humorous. At times, yeah.
Yeah, but like. It's an, it's an action suspense

(44:46):
werewolf movie. Yeah, I wouldn't even call it
horror. It just has werewolves, you
know, It's a suspense. The one good thing I I could
watch it to the end or go to thekitchen and wash the dishes.
Thus one good thing came out of the movie.
I have a sparkling clean set of dishes.
Fuck. You dumb ass.

(45:07):
But look at 13 people thought that was helpful. 25 people were
like, I'm pretty sure you didn'teven watch this movie, you know?
Yeah, Yeah. You're just performing right
now. What a complete waste of time.
I watched it because of some of the raving reviews here.
I wish I could erase them to spare others of washing,
watching, wasting their time. Oh my God.
That realistic again? Not realistic.

(45:30):
The Werewolf versus soldiers movie was not realistic for you.
The only good thing about it is that it ends.
Fuck you. Truly dreadful.
This is the one. Like this is the one that broke
us I think. Yeah, we had to stop at this
one. Yeah, truly dreadful movie
concerning group of soldiers pitting their wits against
werewolves. I don't know how you could start

(45:52):
with truly dreadful movie and end with soldiers pitting their
wits against werewolves and think that that sentence could
possibly exist. Anyway, what makes it awful is
the terrible, terrible gung ho do it soldier style dialogue.
Yeah, again, the dialogue's not fucking good.
They're not going for Oscars also that's why the soldiers

(46:14):
like they they have to build them up as these gung ho
soldiers or else why would they stand and fight instead of just
leaving? Yeah, yeah, getting, yeah, just
getting the fuck out. Rubbish, rubbish acting.
What? The fact that we as a nation can
appreciate a movie like this above the whole, oh, there's

(46:36):
more, I don't, I don't get that.That's so weird.
I've seen cartoons scarier than this.
Again, it's an action suspense. Yeah, intense horror drama.
I don't think it was billed as that.
I truly don't think it was billed as that.
Yeah, riddled with ridiculous swearing for no reason.

(47:00):
Oh, for Fox that you're watching, Oh, soldiers versus
werewolf movie and you're worried about the language?
Language people. How can my children watch this?
Would somebody think of the children?
That are watching songs soldiers.
Don't believe the hype. Worst movie ever again.

(47:25):
No, no it's not. Watch fucking deathbed.
Oh my God, this. Firstly, it mimics Predator,
Evil Dead, Jaws. I can't continue.
No drama. Why does that make you mad?
Yeah, that's good. It's mimicking the best action

(47:49):
horror films it can get its hands on.
It didn't even have me laughing and it's untalented story and
style. Even Troll 2 did that.
But yeah, Troll 2 is more of a like an ironic like, isn't this
so bad it's good. Yeah.
We're like, no, this is just a fucking, like I said, down and
dirty, like just fucking werewolves fighting soldiers
that like. They didn't do anything fancy

(48:11):
and I'm happy for. It Yeah.
Worst movie I've ever seen. Nope.
You're just being fucking just dramatic.
Horny with seriously bad acting.I mean, it's a movie.
I cannot stress this enough about werewolves against
soldiers. Yeah, Army.
Pants what this? Is a good example of why a lot

(48:36):
of British films are not taken seriously outside of the UK.
What we have here is a mishmash of a were American Werewolf in
London, Predator, Alien, Blair Witch and Way Out West and it
just doesn't work. How the fuck is Blair Witch in
here? But also, well, I guess possibly
just like the the running through the woods stuff, maybe,

(48:57):
Yeah, I don't know. But I'm just saying again,
another sentence where how how can you say that doesn't work?
If you described a movie TV as American world, London,
Predator, Alien, Blair Witch, way out West, I'd say, yeah,
let's go. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that like, I'm sorry if your review gets to more than 4

(49:19):
paragraphs, you're just doing shtick.
Earlier said. Then we come back from the
aerial view. So he's clearly talking about
the cinematography and filmography in here.
Like get the fuck out of here. It's a movie about soldiers
versus werewolves. One of the worst films I've ever
watched. Again, can I introduce you to

(49:40):
Morbius, my friend? I didn't hate it.
I would never watch it again. Yeah, I didn't hate it.
My deepest sympathy to Werewolf.Deeply thought exercise John
Carpenter Film Carpenter decidedto make a modern day equivalent
to that western and came up witha genuinely throwing assault on

(50:00):
Precinct 13. Something wrong with copying
ideas. As long as you put your I'm
pretty sure he put his own stampon it like.
What would the oh, the soldiers,and what is it that they're
fighting? Feels different.
Werewolves. There's nothing remotely

(50:22):
original, but yeah, again. They weren't trying to be.
If you call it the worst ever, Idon't take you seriously.
Just like when someone says it'sthe best ever.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, you're not, you're
not, you're not a serious reviewer.
All right, we're going to move on because this is just fucking
upsetting all. Right.

(50:44):
And that's why it's a 6-8 instead of the, I would have
guessed like A-75. On average, Yeah, I get people
maybe rating it around 6:00. Oh shit, Yeah, we yeah, we'll do
it with the team using why the fuck I knew you.
I knew I. Knew.
I knew. I knew, I knew.

(51:08):
I all right, we will do the better known as segment and we
will start off as we always do, with the director Neil Marshall,
who has directed some pretty well known movies.
We've actually talked about him before on this show, The movie
he did well, we'll get to that. It's probably his most well

(51:29):
known movies. The movie he did right after
this, it was I might as well just fucking say it now.
It was the descent. We did that a while back.
Nick and I talked about that one.
That one was, I remember like watching it when it first came
out and like hating it and then when we re watched it for the
show, I actually really liked it.

(51:49):
I so much so that I watched the sequel, which was OK.
But aside from that, he directedthe unfortunate 2019 version of
Hellboy. Still haven't seen it.
It's not good. Like it keeps like you keep
getting to the point of like, all right, I can get into this

(52:10):
and then like it just never likegets you there.
Like it's just. It's all about edging.
Pretty much, yeah. You never blow a load.
It's comic book. It's comic book.
Edging. Yeah, yeah, it it just never
gets good. That's not for me.
Yeah, he directed a couple of episodes of the Netflix Lost in
Space, which I remember. Like I watched the first season
and really liked it and then when the second season came out

(52:32):
didn't give shit. I think I watched like 3
episodes of it. It was, it was pretty good.
I remember. Yeah, it was fine.
I directed an episode of Westworld, which I did not like.
That show. That was like, people were so
high in that show. It was like it was just garbage.
That's time filler, yeah. I wouldn't give it the 84 that
they're giving it for. Sure.
Just bullshit. Yeah, Yeah.

(52:54):
He directed a segment in Tales of Halloween, which was a
really, really good movie. I interviewed 2 of the directors
from one of the segments of thatmy old podcast.
That was a fun fun chat. He directed an episode of
Hannibal, which is a really goodseries on NBC. 2 episodes of the
Constantine series on The CW. 2 episodes of Game of Thrones.

(53:17):
How the fuck does Game of Thrones have a 9.2?
Rating. Did anybody not see the last
season? I mean, there were seasons
before that would have gotten lower than 9/2 for me.
Yeah. But yeah, after last season,
that's at least a two star drop from whatever you thought.
Yeah, you know, you wanted to give it a 10, then you see the
last three episodes, so you givean 8.
Ready to pretend to an 8? Yeah yeah.

(53:38):
Fuck you, bride. This show always looked kind of
cool and I just never bothered to watch it.
Black Sails. It was like a pirate show on
Starz. It's a it's a Schrodinger's
show. For me it will always be the
best and worst possible pirate show that ever existed.
As long as you never watch. It I never watch it.
That's a good. Point.
Fantasize about it and how wonderful it was.

(54:00):
Yeah, I could live the rest of my life secure on the knowledge,
and that was a great show about pirates.
Yeah, as long as I never actually watch it.
Exactly. I I.
Head in the sand, man. Head in the sand.
Yeah, yeah. Safer this way.
He directed that movie Doomsday in 2008 which only has a 5.9
rating on here but I keep hearing people say it's actually
like way better. Didn't check that.

(54:22):
Out. Yeah, and you would think it's
basically like Mad Max in Scotland.
Which I'm sold. Yeah, we mentioned he directed
The Descent. That was 2005.
That was right after he directedDog Soldiers, which was 2002.
That was his first full length movie.
He's writing a couple of things.Nothing really, Bell.

(54:46):
So we're gonna move on. Up next we have Sean Pertwee,
who was Wells in this. He is the son of actor John
Pertwee, who was the 3rd Doctor.Doctor Who?
Well, nice. Yeah, he's.
So he's royalty? Sci-fi nerd royalty?
Yeah. Oh my God, he was in equilibrium
as well. Yes, which is another fucking

(55:09):
great sorry. It's on there and I it just blew
my mind. The known for sexual.
Yeah, yeah, that like again in the vein of The Matrix, but I
think a better movie than the. Matrix.
Yep. Yep, people just saw the matrix
1st and then didn't. Like that.
Yeah. Yeah, it was, it was a couple of
years or three years after, but like it, it, it's such a good

(55:30):
movie. Christian Bale is in it.
It's a little bit like Aldous Huxley sci-fi, you know, mixed
with The Matrix, like, yeah, yeah.
It's it's the instead of being dragged into being batteries for
AI or whatever, they're drugged into compliance and being
drones. Yeah, for the government.

(55:50):
Let's see, aside from that, he was on a couple of episodes of
that show you on Netflix, which started out really good and then
like you probably should have ended after like the second
season maybe or maybe the 3rd atthe latest.
It just went on and on and on and finally wrapped up this
year. Didn't even bother to, well I

(56:12):
think we my wife and I like juststopped halfway through like the
previous season before this lastone.
Let's see. Aside from that, he is probably
most well known for playing Alfred Pennyworth, Batman's
Butler on Gotham. 99 episodes ofthat show.

(56:33):
I tried to watch that show. He was an owl.
OK, It's another werewolf movie.Oh OK but that people are saying
the worst movie they ever saw. Werewolves on a train?
Yep. It's this same movie here, but
they're surviving on a train instead of in a cabin.

(56:53):
All right. And it does have a 5.5 rating.
Yep. Whoops, and I did not mean.
To click where the right here, he's in three episodes of
Elementary. He played Inspector Lestrade,
apparently. Wasn't that like the the police

(57:14):
guy that helps out Sherlock Holmes?
I've seen, at least in the book Zero episode.
I've never seen the show, but yeah.
Yeah, he did some video game work.
He did a couple of the Kill Zonegames.

(57:36):
Fable 3 he's a voice in. Very cool.
Yeah, Kill Zone 1 and 2, I believe he's in.
Fable 2, he's in also Doomsday. Pretty much everybody who's in
this movie is in this doomsday movie.
Oh well, you know that happens with directors.
They call it people that like working with them and they like
working with. Yeah, aside from that, that

(57:58):
might be the big stuff. I don't really think he's in
anything big aside from what we've mentioned.
Holy cow though, he's doing like5 movies a year or like 3 movies
and some TV show stuff. Well, they're all British
movies. Just like what, like 100 British
actors maybe tops. Yeah, Lestrade is who holds is
always one up again. OK, yeah, let's see, he's in

(58:26):
equilibrium. We mentioned, I mentioned that
it was same year as this both 2002 and yeah, I believe we're.
Just more British stuff, yeah. He played well.
Event horizon, yeah. Event Horizon that was 97.
God damn fucking stellar. Movie though, yeah.

(58:46):
It was a good movie. All right, we're going to move
on because I think we've gotten through all.
Yeah, we did. Up next we have Kevin Mckidd,
who is the the one dude who survives, I forget his name.
Scott Cooper. Yeah, he is probable.

(59:06):
I mean, come on. Yeah, I've never seen a single
episode of the show, but he's on367 episodes of Grey's Anatomy.
Yeah, I know him from Grey's Anatomy, just from reels where
people are just. I didn't even realize.
That until I started in the research, yeah, I you might as
well just ask me. About Doctor Mcdreaney or
whatever I think. Yeah, like I have as much

(59:28):
knowledge as Grey's Anatomy as Ido of like, reading ancient
Sumerian. You've never seen any reels that
are like attacking Katherine Heigl?
Because she's. I know a lot of people don't
like her. Yeah, yeah.
She's just not fun to work. She was.
That to. In fun of her he was in that It

(59:49):
ends with Us movie with Blake live.
You mean those careers? Yeah, Yeah, because they did.
The people who were suing each other to.
Oblivion for nothing. He was in an episode of the Mike
Tyson Mysteries. Oh my God, my dad loves that.
That's hilarious. He's a high and watches that.

(01:00:11):
He was in seven episodes of The Voice of Star Wars Rebels, which
is really. Fucking stellar show again.
Like, yeah, what's his name? Shit.
Freddie Prince Junior's character?
Kanan. Kanan Jairus.
Yeah. Kanan's death.
Yeah, they. I see reels of that over with

(01:00:35):
like a prayer. The choir.
Version. Yeah.
Yeah. And I'm like, gonna stop with
the onions. That show was so good.
Just that scene. I think it's the second season
finale with Vader and Ahsoka fighting.
Oh fuck yeah. Yeah, yeah.
That was amazing. Let's see, he was the voice of

(01:00:59):
Batman and the flat Thomas Wayneversion.
Anyway, in the Flashpoint Paradox animated movie Call of
oh, he's soap. In Call of Duty Modern Warfare,
He's in a couple of those games.He's Poseidon and Percy Jackson
and the Olympians, the lightningthief.

(01:01:20):
This, I was gonna say this is probably what he's most well
known for. He's one of the main characters
on Rome, which was a really, really good HBO.
Show. I've never checked that out.
It's gonna be fucking good. Yeah, it's him.
And what is the guy's name? You played the Punisher.
Is it Ray Stevenson? Ray Stevenson?
Yeah, he just died. He was on Season 1 of Ahsoka.

(01:01:43):
This dude, he was in the Thor movies.
Oh. Yeah.
He's that guy. Yeah.
What was his name in Baylin's skull?
That's what it was. They recast him for the second
season. Whoa.

(01:02:07):
We were talking about Kevin the kid.
Yeah, he Rome, which I I highly recommend.
It's got an 8.7 rating on here. Yeah, you know, those could be
unreliable, but I'd still say it's got to be at least a.
Yeah, it was cancelled after twoseasons.
It was too fucking expensive forHBO to make.
Oh yeah, my real time show just got cancelled because it was too
expensive and they had to save money so they could keep making

(01:02:28):
Rings of Power. I like.
It's OK, I don't mind it. Yeah, yeah.
But it really sucks that we haveto get more Lord of the Rings
that we already have more stuff coming out constantly for.
Yeah, yeah. We don't get to.
This thing that we don't get much of is where we fucking.
You can't take it from one of those like millions of like
special agent shows that are on like Amazon Prime, like with

(01:02:51):
Chris Pratt or the dude from TheOffice.
Or trick Reacher. Yeah, Hey, hey, grab Reacher
alone. Leave Reacher alone.
Just saying there's. They're all the same shit.
We were here already. He was in Hannibal Rising, which
was not good 6. Point.
I haven't actually seen it. Yeah, it's like, you know, the

(01:03:14):
the the origin story of HannibalLecter, right?
It's not good. I.
Don't really need it, yeah. He was a voice in fucking Vice
City 2002. So old.
Yeah. Oh God.
Someone had to buy that game. For me, I remember, Yeah, yeah.

(01:03:35):
No, I, I at the time I was 23, but I was working at the movie
theater. This is when they actually
showed movies, like past, like 9:00 at night.
Yeah. And like I lived in a house like
they, we had, we rented like an entire house, like both floors
and with like 10 other people who worked at the theater.

(01:03:57):
And we had all basically like inverted our days and nights
where that like, you know, if somebody like normally wakes up
at like fucking, you know, 5 or 6:00 in the morning, we were
waking up at like 5:00 or 6:00 in the afternoon.
Like yeah, no, I we would work, you know, cuz again, this is
when they, you know, movies would start at like midnight,
like you know, 12:30 work till like one or 2:30 in the morning.

(01:04:20):
If you were fucking ushering, you had to stay until the last
movie got the fuck out. So you were there like 3 in the
mornings on that? Geez.
Yeah, and you'd just fucking go home and just party and just
play Vice City till the fucking sun came up.
Yeah, I was. 16 so I probably would have had to have a pair
buy that for me because I bet itwas restricted.

(01:04:46):
Anything else worth mentioning now?
Oh, he's in Trainspotter 1996. I've only seen that once, I
don't remember anything about it.
It's a good movie. Be a.
Hydrate, don't mind if I do. Let's not move away from art
watching Grey's Anatomy. No, no, I don't watch Grey's
Anatomy. I watch reels that are Grey's
Anatomy. So you're saying you like Grey's

(01:05:09):
Anatomy so much that you watch additional Grey's Anatomy
content? Second screen content I believe
is the. Are not my thing.
Yeah, like medical shows, like lawyer shows, except for Better
Call Saul, because that wasn't really like a lawyer show.
Right, haven't checked it out yet.
That's if you liked Breaking Badlike Better Call Saul is didn't

(01:05:32):
like Breaking Bad. Haven't seen it.
Oh dude. My wife loves that show.
Yeah, and she owned it and we never watched it on DVD and now
I could probably watch it on Prime or somewhere.
Yeah, yeah, no, I highly recommend both.
Like, I like Better Call Saul better, I think just because I I
fucking love Bob O'gurd. I think he's awesome.
Amazing. Yeah.

(01:05:54):
On to Liam Cunningham, who we have talked about before so we
don't have to spend much time talking about him.
He was the, the shifty, like, special forces guy who ends up
becoming a werewolf. Ryan, this.
Oh, we'll get to that in the crapshoot.
But this is also the second movie.
I'll say it now. This is the second movie I've
seen in the past several days where somebody gets a knife in

(01:06:15):
the mouth. Ohh.
We both saw another movie. Yeah.
Yes, and that's exactly what I was thinking about.
He's got the sword coming at himand he's holding it.
His teeth is grinding. Yeah, it's so itchy.
And I was like, you know what? Thank you for that scene, even
though it's disgusting. The worst thing I've ever seen.
This just grossed me out like a day or two ago and here I am
again. Yeah, but we'll get to that when

(01:06:37):
we get to the crap shoot. Yeah, cuz I would like to talk
about that movie. I've heard about that show, but
I don't know anything about. It I tried watching it and I was
like this is not where I am right now.
Talk about 3 body, 3 body problem.
Yeah, I haven't. I just haven't.
I think I we tried to watch the first episode.
Yeah, I like, I barely got, I couldn't like pay attention to
go anywhere after that. Yeah, so I tried.

(01:06:58):
I don't know. He was a voice in the recent
reboot of He Man on Netflix, which I really loved.
I thought it was really, really good.
Nice. He was in The Last Voyage of the
Demeter, which we talked about on this show when it came out.
That was a fucking great movie. Oh yeah, we mentioned He Man.

(01:07:22):
He's done a lot of voice work. Solar Opposites, Rick and Morty.
He, of course, is probably most well known for being Davos
Seaworth on Game of Thrones, 42 episodes of that.
I think we're going to move on because, like I said, we've
talked about him already. So we hit the highlights.
Several people have had the Musketeers show.

(01:07:42):
Yeah. I mean, it's British TV show and
these are British actors, so that makes sense.
Yeah. Yeah.
Like I said, there's what, like 100 British actors?
Maybe like 200. We're on to Thomas Lockyer.
Is there any reason I saved thisguy?

(01:08:05):
Robin Hood TV show from 2008. Yeah.
Yeah, I remember. I think I tried to watch that.
Like what? What would he be about to?
Oh, he's a Highlander end game in 2000.
And the Raven TV series. Yeah, Did I really think that
was enough to save him? Merlin.

(01:08:25):
He's, yeah, he's in the Merlin miniseries on NBC episodes.
But still. Cutthroat Island again?
That might be the finest pirate movie ever made.
Yes, exactly. Yeah, as long as I never watch
it. Yeah, it.
Can be everything I want it to be exactly.

(01:08:45):
I don't know why I fucked. Didn't save this dude.
So we're gonna move right on. Chris Robson is in this movie.
He is. He's.
The one that has to drive the. Car.
Yeah, that's right. Yeah, is.
He the one that was worried about the scores too?
Or is Spoon the one that was worried about the scores in the
game? I don't remember.

(01:09:06):
OK, Yeah, it doesn't matter. He was also in that Doomsday
movie. Again, everybody in this movie
was in Doomsday. He's the sky captain in the
World of Tomorrow. I was.
Thinking it. Before, it wasn't bad.
Nick really likes it, but it wasn't bad.
Seems like I'd like it, but I just never got around to it.
Yeah. And he was in the right before
this. He was in that Band of Brothers

(01:09:27):
mini series on HBO, which was really, really good.
Yeah. I haven't seen it.
It was I read the book. I love war movies and stuff.
Too. Yeah, actually, I've had a
friend who was just last week was in fucking D-Day.
Where the fucking Normandy. Yeah, yeah, he was.
He was posting pictures from it and shit, it's crazy.

(01:09:51):
All right, moving on. Craig Conway.
That is the britishiest British name to ever British.
Craig Conway. Yeah, using doomsday like.
Every British TV. He was also like the lead, like
underground Weller in The Descent.

(01:10:13):
Mole Man. I guess you would call them mole
man. Yeah, yeah, kind of.
Yeah. We're gonna move on.
Last up, Ben Wright, I think he was one of the creatures.
Ben wrong. What's in a good movie though?

(01:10:36):
He was in the movie Your Highness in 2011.
That's right, he did a lot of stunt work in movies.
That's I saw the stunts for Skyfall.
Yeah, Deadpool wonder. Well, Wonder Woman, I did 80.
Four. I didn't say those two.
I didn't know how Wonder Woman 1984 got a 5.4 rating because

(01:10:57):
that movie was gone. Haven't seen it, but I do know
that she rapes a dude repeatedly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Didn't we?
I think we watched it one night during the pandemic.
Oh, maybe we did. Yeah, I'm pretty sure because it
was like premiering and we all weren't going anywhere.
So I mean, yeah. That's what we used to do D&D

(01:11:17):
more reliably. Or at all.
I have several. I have several campaigns if I
have to DMI guess I'm going to DM.
But no, I I did mention that thing I wanted to talk to the
other person about. I do.
I do want to do that. I know, but.
We need to play something, God damn it.
You know, yeah, I've got severalideas, all.

(01:11:40):
Right, we'll move on to the crapshoot.
Yeah. So the other movie with the
knife in the mouth was Bring HerBack.
Oh boy. Yeah.
So. Here's the thing it's got.
Spoilers like yeah, I'm trying to.
Spoil everything Like a little bit light on the spy, yes, but
like plot holes that you could drive a fucking school bus

(01:12:03):
through. Oh really?
I didn't even I've liked it so. The It's a visually stunning
movie. Yeah, that is tense and
uncomfortable. I wouldn't call it a horror.
Yeah, it's more like a psychological.
Psychological. Yeah.
You know, the plot holes start right after it starts rolling.

(01:12:29):
I mean, I don't know how much we.
Want to get into it? Yeah.
But yeah, like, yeah, we won't get the entire premise.
Is blown apart every time they open their mouths to talk about
why this is happening. Yeah.
Yeah. It just it makes it just less
and less likely that any of thatmakes sense.

(01:12:49):
Fuck, God damn it, I walked out of there.
I'm like, I really like this movie.
I didn't say I didn't like it. Now you're giving me things to
think about though. Valid points to talk about.
Like yeah fuck. Oh.
No, you might have to drop a point or two on your.
Yeah, that's OK, you know, But also, just like with this movie,
I didn't go into it, you know, expecting a perfect plot with
well thought out consequences and arcs.

(01:13:09):
I knew it was gonna be like super creepy and like, you know,
a little intense and I tried. I don't want it.
Yeah, exactly. I tried to be like a spoiler
freestyle. I just didn't read anything
about it. I just nothing.
Other than the one trailer I'd seen and I was like, that seems
creepy as fuck. Yeah, I'm gonna go see that.
Yeah. And it delivered on that for
sure. Yeah, Yeah, it could have be, I

(01:13:30):
don't know. I I liked it.
I I. It's it made me uncomfortable.
Yeah, if I had to throw a rating, I'd say like a set, I'd
give it. Yeah, OK, That's not even bad if
once you think about the plot holes.
At worst, do it on a 65I. I probably would be close to
A-65 right now, but I also know the plot holes I have in mind.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, yeah, it definitely.
There were scenes that made me uncomfortable and feel weird,

(01:13:53):
and that's what you want in thiskind of movie.
She's peeing. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
That whole thing, that whole plot line, so fucking weird.
But again, I have an idea of whythat happened.
It's a bad writing. What else you got going on?
See any other movies? I did.
It was a movie seeing Fool this week.

(01:14:15):
I watched one that was OK. It was on Hulu.
Like I saw a preview for it a couple months back.
I'm like, all right, this looks kind of cool.
It's called the Damned and it takes place like in this like
fishing village, I think in likenorthern Canada, maybe
somewhere. And like it's, you know, the

(01:14:36):
dead of fucking winter. And like the setup is like the
woman who owns the like the not like it's not where they stay,
but it's like the company, the fishing company, basically like
all the people we work at and fish at.
Her husband was like the lead Fisher, like for the village and
like he ended up dying the year before.

(01:14:58):
And like they all thought she was going to sell the place and
she ends up keeping it. So now like she's running the
whole show and you know, they'vegot like no money.
They're like they're basically going to fucking starve.
Like, they just got nothing. So they're out getting ready to
go fish one day. And like, they see a fucking
shipwreck, like, offshore, like the boat is in progress.

(01:15:21):
Like sinking. Yeah.
Yeah. So like, again, it's the dead of
winter. And they're like, well, what are
we going to do? Like, we can help them, but
like, anybody who's in the water, like, by the time we
bring them back to shore, they're going to die from
freezing, Right. And plus, like, do we really
want to risk sending a boat out there where they like crashed?

(01:15:41):
This is like the same place where her husband died.
It's like a, you know, like a notorious like point where ships
crash and they're like, well, you know, we don't want to risk
like losing people Like we have,you know, barely anything as it
is. If we lose a boat, if we like,
you know, we can't, we can't do it right.
So they're just like, all right,well, get the fuck out of here

(01:16:04):
then, You know, like, let's go back inside.
Sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So like they, we, you know, they, they go, they just don't
help. And then, like, later on at
night, they figure everybody's dead.
Like, anybody who's out there would be dead already.
So they go back out. They finally go out.
And there's a really cool, like,creepy scene where there's like
a bunch of people in the fuckingwater still.
And like, they try to like, swarm the boat.

(01:16:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they're like fucking
fighting people off with oars. I don't know it it it like it
had a really creepy set up and like a really creepy vibe.
Like it it kind of paid off, butit also kind of dragged a little
bit. Like I could have used a, you
know, a little bit more. So I don't know.
I'd give it like a straight 5, like be your own judge.

(01:16:47):
Like I really dug it felt like ahammer movie.
And I think that like small, like story, this like secluded
village in the middle of nowhereand there's this creepy shit
happening, you know, because they ignored these people and
like dying. Yeah, cursed to it.
Damned even. Exactly.
Yeah, Yeah. So yeah, I don't know.
It was, it was, it was enjoyable, but I I don't think

(01:17:08):
I'd go back for it. Fair enough.
God, the only thing I've been doing lately is watching.
I'm almost done. I've got to be close to current
on Ancient Aliens. Oh, really?
I'm on season 13. They're literally referencing
things from 2017 through 2020. Like things that just got to be
the. Current Yeah, they're being
built by aliens. Well, they're just referencing

(01:17:31):
how did COVID-19 get created. Maybe it was aliens, you know,
So the show is always off the rails, obviously.
And no, TJI only watch Gilmore Girls Gone Wild.
I'm sure that exists. There's no way that doesn't
exist. There's got to be a parody

(01:17:51):
somewhere, like on Mad TV or I don't think SNL maybe, but
somebody is. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've been just doing my usual shit.
Reading comics good. I mean, I read good shit, but

(01:18:12):
nothing like Out of the Ordinary.
Did I watch anything else? I feel like I went to the movies
a bunch, but now that I'm thinking about it, I planned to
go to the movies a second time this weekend and never went.
Yeah, I don't know. The only thing I'm watching
right now is Attack on Titan, about 10 episodes or 11 episodes

(01:18:32):
from the end. Yeah, yeah, I just like, I don't
know what the fuck it is about anime that like I just, I can't
get into. It the the art style doesn't
blend well to many things for me.
Yeah, it really doesn't work at all for anything that wants to
be dramatic or realistic or tense, but it's fine in a sci-fi

(01:18:53):
fantasy setting. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Peter David died this weekend. Yeah, I'm empty but.
That's sad. Shout out what the fuck were we
just talking about? Attack on Titan and anime.
Anime. Yeah, I seriously have given it

(01:19:15):
a shot. And there are things that I
like, right? But as a whole, it's a huge
hurdle for me to get over. Any time I hear something is
good, yeah, it's anime. I'm like but it's anime.
The first time I let somebody talk me into it cuz it was just
I was so bored they they'd be guessed right.
I liked it and now I like anime.If they picked wrong.

(01:19:36):
Yeah, he'd be like I'd. Still not give a shit about
anime? Yeah, yeah.
Which is why I will never be theperson to suggest you should do
this one first. You know this will get you into
it. With the exception of suggesting
Studio Ghibli because it's basically the Disney version of
anime. Yeah, in fact, I did also
distributed pull the trigger on Princess Mononoke this week.
That one's more standard anime Iwould say than like the than the

(01:19:59):
family fun kind of the other ones all.
Right, yeah, we watched SpiritedAway, which I really liked.
That's yeah, that's that family fun ones.
You know, you got that Kiki's Delivery Service, all those
goofy ones. How's Moving Castle?
Yeah, maybe I'll watch that one next.
Which has some, you know, serious moments, but it's more

(01:20:21):
fun and goofy than I would neversuggest anything else though.
You know, because I don't know how you're going to take Cowboy
Bebop. I don't know.
Do you like Gundam? Oh, I love Cowboy Bebop.
I I'm sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've actually never seen Cowboy.Bebop, even Racer and Giganto

(01:20:41):
are considered like I I kind of got into Speed Racer for a
little bit because it was on MTVfor a while in the 90s.
Yeah, like animated anime, Yes, yeah, Yeah.
Everybody's watched Pokémon, andthat is anime, yeah.
I never watched a gantor but I love Voltron so like there is

(01:21:03):
like hits and misses. Yeah, some of those are anime.
Yeah, specifically I love Adult Swim in like 2004.
Oh man. Yeah, like the prime of Adult
Swim. Yeah, when like tsunami was on,
like, yeah, every night, like 11:00 was Cowboy Bebop.

(01:21:23):
No, I'm sorry. Was it 11?
Was Trigon? 11/30 was Cowboy Bebop?
Then it was Rain the Conqueror, and I forget there was some
combination of those, and there's a fourth one in there
that I don't remember. Loop on the third I think it
was. And I would watch all of those.
Like I'd come home, like I worked at the video store at the
time. I would come home in the video

(01:21:45):
store and just watched all thosefucking shows.
Adult Swim gave us some bomb shows.
Frisky dingo. I would swear by that show.
If you've never seen it. Yeah, it's phenomenal.
The entire premise is an alien came to Earth to destroy the
Earth by building a giant rocketthat's attached to the earth
that would push it into the sun.All right, but he can't finish

(01:22:09):
it cuz he ran out of money. Right.
And scene like that's the whole premise for season 1.
I know I'm the only fan of this,but Rick and Morty came back
last week. I haven't watched the newest 1
yet. I've only seen clips so I will
not say the show is bad, but thething.

(01:22:30):
The fan are using to. Sell it, Yeah, is not that good.
It's one of those things where like the fandom is taking so
much away like from an actual like really smart intelligent
show because they they a latch on to the wrong things like the
dumb shit like, you know. And I also just hate people who
say well if you don't like it it's cuz you don't get it.

(01:22:51):
Yeah, yeah, no. No, let me explain.
It's like, no buddy, I cannot like it.
Yeah, it's just a preference, but I'm still hooked on that
show. I mean, at some point we'll
check it out, I'm sure. There are like, there are things
in that show that I know would make people in our group just

(01:23:11):
fucking die laughing. Die hard.
Like I don't watch Rick and Morty people.
Like I know there are things in there that would make them die
laughing. God, the animatronics and the
fucking practical effects here. So much better than anything
like any fucking CGI werewolf fucking.
If for that alone, this movie had to be at least a 7, you

(01:23:34):
know. Space Ghost Coast to Coast Sea
Lab Harvey Birdman. That was, yeah, that was like
the way back. I had a the The thing is, you
know, I was living on my own basically right after I turned
18 and I didn't watch a lot of TV so and then I left and didn't
come back for like 2 years whereI didn't get to watch TV either.

(01:23:58):
Yeah, not a lot of crowd TV at CCot.
So you haven't. Watched one of the recent stuff.
No, I think that I've moved on to.
So I've always had this policy for video games.
It's that I will get the new console four or five years out
and I'll get the games that cameout at launch day and I'll just
work my way up because I always have the best technology.

(01:24:20):
At the time those games came out, all the kinks will have
been worked out. There'll be patches and updates
to the software. There'll be firmware fixes for
the hardware, you know, So now I'm going to start doing that
with media. I'm going to always be four or
five years behind. Yeah, I like when I bought my
PS5, it was like, I was really like, I'm like, I don't need a

(01:24:41):
new system. Like I don't need to go to the
next Gen. Yeah, but then like the pandemic
happened. I'm like I need a fucking PS 5
right now. I scratched that itch because I
hadn't bought a Switch. Yeah.
OK. So during the pandemic, I got a
Switch. Yeah.
So like, I was just thinking theother day, like the PS5 is five
years into its life already. Like at most it's got like one
or two more and then they're going to release something else.

(01:25:03):
So like, fuck, am I going to upgrade again?
I'm like I just. You got to skip at least one
generation. When you're doing your yeah,
12th grades. But is it like for me though,
it's weird because I mean, I'm literally have had a console
since the Atari. Like I had a fucking Atari 2600.
I had the Atari fucking the original Atari before that, and

(01:25:24):
then I went from Atari right to AI, went to a Commodore fucking
164 nice. And then fucking Nintendo, Super
Nintendo, like right up through today, like we're having PS5.
I did not have the original Nintendo when it came out as
new, but it was my first console, yeah, and I was like
maybe 8. So that would have been 949394

(01:25:48):
somewhere in there. Why did I just go off of our
stream? What the fuck?
We froze. Yeah, I don't know what that was
about. Are we back?
I'm on ads so I can't tell. Yes, this looks good, but.
It says we're still streaming. Yeah, I know.
I was rocking an Atari and, like, my computer up until 88
when I first got a Nintendo. And then like, once I got old,

(01:26:11):
like, you know, Super, at that point, I was dependent on
getting them for like, Christmasor like a birthday, you know?
Right. Right.
But once I was able to, like, buy systems.
Oh, yeah. As soon as that shit came out,
I'm fucking buying it. By the time I was buying my own
systems it would have been the when did PS3 come out that was

(01:26:32):
the equivalent to the 360 or? That was like 2000 and 7:00, I'm
going to say. OK, yeah, so a little after.
So I was in the Xbox 360 would have been the first thing I
might have bought for myself andit would have been a few years
old. Yeah, yeah, The first system I

(01:26:53):
ever bought for myself was probably When did I buy a
PlayStation? A little before I bought.
You know, I bought it like yearsafter it came out because I I
had I had Nintendo 64, which again, I got is like a Christmas
present. And then like when PlayStation
was like super cheap. You can get one for like 50

(01:27:14):
bucks. Yeah, fuck, why don't I own one?
Actually no, the first system I ever bought for myself.
This is deep cut elder nerd shit.
The Sega Genesis 32 XI. Don't even think I've ever heard
of that. Most people haven't because it

(01:27:35):
was pretty much a piece of shit.OK, alright.
It's the Dreamcast of that generation.
Yeah, yeah, no, these were so cheap at one point.
Well, I'll explain what they were.
It was an attachment for the Genesis.
I buy my Genesis. I think I bought my Genesis
actually, because I think I was working.
Yeah, I had a job. I started working when I was

(01:27:57):
like 15. So like IA 15 year old with no
responsibilities of paycheck. Fucking yeah I'm buying video
games. Video Garbs.
I forgot where the oh, the 32X. Yeah, so fucking it was an
attachment that plugged into thetop of the Genesis.
It was like a whole like second deck that went on top of it.

(01:28:19):
You plugged it in and it converted the Genesis from 16 to
32 bits and it came with like Virtua Fighter.
There was a Star Wars, like the old Star Wars arcade game.
There was a version of that on there with like upgraded
graphics and stuff. There was a cop.
There was like there was a they made Sonic and Knuckles I think

(01:28:42):
for 32 XI don't remember. I know.
I think that Sonic and Knuckles was also just around that time,
but fucking they didn't make a whole lot of games for it and it
like they broke so quickly they would just stop working.
That the reason I bought it is because they were so cheap at
one point you could get the oneswith like Virtua fighter for

(01:29:05):
2999 or the ones without a game for 1999.
So whenever it broke I just bought a 1999 one and fucking
replaced it because the Star Wars game was awesome.
Yeah and see they knew remastering back then just re
release the game on the new system.
That's exactly what we're wanting.
Yeah, all they want. Yeah, take your 10 most selling

(01:29:27):
games, release those remastered on launch day, Yeah.
Yeah, shit, that was way the fuck I this is how old this is,
how far back it was. I used to buy them at Toys-R-Us.
Oh, OK, later they were around for a while.
Yeah, yeah. TJ Lamb bought a new Atari 2600
for the first system. Damn, no, I always just had an

(01:29:50):
Atari. Like I from like the time I was
like 3. I mean, I, we always just had
like, I don't remember ever getting it.
It was just there, you know? Yeah, I know I could play that
Star Wars arcade game when I waslike 3 or 4.
Fucking yeah. Like Welt?
Yeah. I just remember, you know,
playing Gauntlet and loving that, you know, the original

(01:30:14):
Nintendo was so good. It was fun, God damn it.
Simple and fun. Start here, go there, you know,
for a lot of the games. Yeah, you're an Italian plumber.
Go break those bricks. Kill those journals, Yeah.
Speaking of, I just rewatched the animated Super Mario movie.

(01:30:36):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. 2023 or 2024, that one, because I wanted
to show it to Sam and he, he wasall right with it, you know, And
it was better than I remember. I remember these.
These just kind of sucked. Yeah.
But no, it was pretty decent. Yeah.
Like is he any I have any awareness of Mario?
Is that like why he just wasn't?Like he knows who Mario is.

(01:30:56):
Yeah, he knows Peach, he knows toes dual.
He doesn't play the games exceptfor racing Mario Kart.
Yeah, but he watches so much YouTube and those characters
come up in context and out of context a lot.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. My nephew said that to me the
other day. I'm like, I don't know what that

(01:31:17):
means. Oh yeah, yeah.
I told you some of the things mykid says.
If something is wrong, it's not wrong.
It's just a happy. Accident.
Yeah. No, I what?
The fuck does that mean? I guess in Florida, you have to
like, take a test to graduate your grade to like, move on to
the next grade. OK.
And like, he passed. So I just texted him like, hey,
like, I heard you do, you know, did go on your test, like, you

(01:31:37):
know, good job. I'll buy you something at Comic
Con when we go in August. And he just texted me back.
OK, bet the fuck does that mean.You know what, though?
If this is going to hurt, that'scloser to his slang.
Yeah, it's going to be than to. Yours exactly you are.
Way removed from that, although that one's getting old so
they're gonna replace that soon.Yeah, if I know about that

(01:31:59):
slang, it's gotta be a hold, right?
That's my point. Yeah, like.
Shit's dead now. Joust, that was a fun Spy Hunter
was awesome too. You know, the first Spy Hunter I
actually played was the Xbox version really, which was still
a top down exact same thing. It's just way better graphics.
Yeah, yeah, I'd never played SpyHunter before that.

(01:32:20):
I used to play in the arcade at fucking Here we go again dating
myself Hoffman's Playland. Hey again, that was around for
quite a while. He'd successfully make meth to
graduate in Florida. Yeah.
Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding.
Shameful how accurate that is. Statistically speaking, if you

(01:32:44):
don't have a master's degree in Florida, you probably have a
master. Degree and if you do have a
master's degree in Florida, congratulations, you're the
smartest person in the state. Big shout out to all our fans in
Florida. I.
Don't know why that made me think of this.

(01:33:06):
Bert Kreischer is Florida State Seminole.
That's where his alma mater. And he has the whole thing about
being the machine. And so I have never read his
full story recollecting. I've heard this like comedy
special about it, but I've neverread like a book where he
describes or anything. Yeah, I.
Don't think he has ever like it's just the story like.
But that story now I'm wonderingif he just didn't understand

(01:33:28):
because I'm I'm practicing Russian on Duolingo just because
I was bored and the word for manis moshina.
Yeah, he even says that. Oh, so how much you want to bet
they're just calling him the Man?
No. No, no, he said he he meant to
say I am like the cool man or something like that.
And like, you know the word for man.

(01:33:48):
He says mushina. Yeah, but I the way he said it,
it came out is like, I forgot. He say machine.
OK, yeah, but that's yeah, that's what they that's what
they picked. Like, you know, I am the
machine. That's what they picked up on.
OK, he. Said that that.
Yeah, he fucked it up. Yeah, I missed that.
All right, so then he already did cover that a math major

(01:34:09):
means a speech environment in Florida means you have a career
path in politics. Let's see anything else before
we get out of here. What have we got coming up?
