1963 LJ.
Stop this crazy thing Vs GeorgeJackson.
Kids and Boys Melrose, tom andJudy.

(00:31):
Welcome to another Minisode and, in particular, this is a new
Minisode.
Today I'm joined by our man inthe chair, sometimes on the show
Taron.
How are you, sir, glad to beback.

Terran (00:44):
I am glad you're here.
It's been a while since I'vebeen a voice on the show taryn.
How are you, sir, glad to beback?
I am glad you're here.

Nick (00:47):
It's been, it's been a while since I've been a voice on
the show, been around, you'vebeen in the shadows, you've been
helping out on the screens andstuff, but we finally got you
back in front of a microphone.

Terran (00:54):
I'm glad you just admitted that you cast me at the
shadow realm well, you know wedid, it was an accident.

Nick (00:59):
you know that we had to find the book that got us, got
you back out and collected theitems, the horcruxes or whatever
they're called.
So you're good now.
You're good, it's fine.
So, but welcome to, I guess,the inaugural edition of our
minisode series called QuantumReanimation.
So if you clicked on this,you've seen that we are
recasting the classic cartoonseries the Jetsons.

Terran (01:21):
And not performing necromancy.

Nick (01:23):
Right, yes, exactly.
Series, the jetsons, and notperforming necromancy.
Right, yes, exactly, so on thisshow.
Basically, this is just thespot for us to touch on cartoons
, video games, anime, thingsthat haven't, maybe not yet been
turned into live action moviesor were done very poorly, and we
just want a chance to be like,hey, this is how we would do it.
And again, we'll bounce arounddifferent eras of time.
We may do modern casts, we maydo casts from, you know, the 80s

(01:45):
or 70s or 90s, depending onwhere it fits appropriately, but
today we're taking the Jetsonsto the mid-2010s.
The mid-10s.
That doesn't sound right.
I don't think we've had enoughtime to figure out what we're
going to call that era.
Yeah, I assume the Gen Z kidswould call it like the early,
you know 20th century, 21stcentury or something.

Terran (02:05):
Their childhood.

Nick (02:06):
Yeah, their childhood, exactly, but yeah, so thanks for
joining us again.
If this is your first time,this is a mini, so we have
bigger episodes where we followsome more rules and guidelines,
but this is a little morerelaxed, where Tara and I will
present a cast to each otherbuilt within the years in the
mid 2010s, and so if you enjoythe show, please hit like and
subscribe on whatever streamingservice you're on.

(02:27):
Be sure to follow us on socialmedia.
We're on all of the aboveTikTok, instagram, facebook yes,
we're still there and X andTwitter.
Whatever you choose to call it,it's your choice.

Terran (02:36):
I think I heard you making a Zanga at one point.

Nick (02:38):
I tried.
I don't know if it's there ornot anymore, but we'll find out.
We'll find out one day.
But again, uh, we're jumping.
We're just jumping into this.
You know these are shorterepisodes, hopefully.
You know, we tend to, we tendto like to talk, that's what
podcasts do you know?

Terran (02:51):
so we apologize if it runs long or not, but you know,
whatever it'd, be weird if wejust sat here and quiet and
everyone was listening to us.
That'd be weird.

Nick (02:57):
Don't do that then it'd be like opposite of asmr or
something I don't.
I'm not ready for that.

Terran (03:01):
I think that actually is ASMR.
Okay, perfect perfect.

Nick (03:04):
But yes, today we are talking about the Jetsons.
I'm going to give you a quickrundown, taryn, for those of you
that are uninitiated,unfamiliar, you've maybe heard
of them and you're like I don'treally know what they're all
about.
So the Jetsons originally airedin primetime on September 23rd
1962, taryn, and it only lastedone season.
1962, taryn, and it only lastedone season.

(03:27):
It was built as a.
You know, the Flintstones wasso successful a few years before
this that ABC was like we wantmore.
And so William Hanna and JosephBarber, the creators of the
Flintstones.
They also did Tom and Jerry.
Back in the day, they producedtwo shows.
First one was Top Cat, whichyou may have heard of, it's just
that, alley Cat and his friends, and then they made the Jetsons
, which is basically theopposite thought of the
Flintstones.

(03:48):
So instead of the modern StoneAge family you have the family
of the future, balanced, as allthings should be, as all things
should be.
The original season had 24episodes.
It aired on Sunday nights onABC.
It debuted as the first programfor them in color Back in the
60s.
There's only a handful ofstations at the time that were
capable of broadcasting in color.
For example, the Flintstoneswas always produced in color but

(04:12):
actually was broadcast in blackand white for its first two
seasons.
So the more you know the showwas originally scheduled
actually opposite Walt Disney'sWonderful World of Color and
Dennis the Mendous, oh bold move, yeah, big, bold move there.
In case you don't know, that waslike Disney's like I'm going to
come out here and tell you allthe cool stuff I'm doing and it
was pretty popular.
So due to poor ratings it wascanceled after one season.

(04:32):
But then it got moved toSaturday.
Who would have thought going upagainst Disney in his prime?
Not just Disney, but literalWalt Disney, literal Walt Disney
, but yeah.
So it didn't do super well.

Terran (04:47):
And then it got moved to saturday morning, where a lot
of cartoons and stuff actuallygot moved to when they weren't
doing as well, and I guessthat's where we got the birth, a
bit uh, of the, you know,saturday morning special that we
know you know, I mean yeah,because like what kid I mean I
say this not having really agood pulse on the modern youth,
but like I I know, for at leastSaturday morning, cartoons were

(05:07):
a like a foundation of what wasgoing on for us Like growing up,
like we look forward to thosecartoons every week.
So I'm just going to yeah, yeah.

Nick (05:19):
Yeah, no, I think that that's where it kind of started
from.
And then obviously, once we gotto the 80s, is where H, where
Hannah Barbera kind of had thiskind of revitalization of a lot
of their shows.
You know they were kind of thedominant force of TV for
cartoons in the sixties andseventies, for sure, you know,
with Yogi bear, uh, scooby-dooamongst other things, but they
ordered new episodes of thisshow, uh, for syndication from

(05:40):
85 to 87.
They had some specials andstuff, including the Jetsons
beat the Flintstones, so theyfinally had the crossover
episode, as we all wanted.
And then they had other stuffthat they were trying to kind of
kickstart, some other spinoffs,like Rockin' with Judy Jetson,
where it was more centeredaround the teenage daughter Judy
.
And then of course comes the1990 film, jetsons, the Movie

(06:01):
movie, and it kind of serves asthe series finale to the show,
even though it failed to achievea lot of critical and
commercial success.
And really beyond that theyreally didn't do a whole lot.
There was some little creativethings here and there.
Adult Swim did a coupleepisodes.

Terran (06:14):
I remember they were very like Adult Swimmy, you know
yeah, you know, jumping theshark in the way, only Adult
Swim can sure sure.

Nick (06:21):
And then, of course, the Jetsons andwe straight to dvd.

Terran (06:25):
Uh, robo, wrestlemania is like the last noteworthy
thing I will be perfectly honest, I came dangerously close to
buying it just to do researchfor this, uh, for this episode
of quantum recast.
Well, I didn't I haven't yet,but the trailer was a wild ride
all on its own if I would, Iwould.

Nick (06:41):
I would highly recommend you just wait until there's a
streaming service that's braveenough to put it out there,
taran, and just to save somemoney, taran, it's okay.
But uh, one other note I wasgonna make.
You know, in the 80s when itcame out, it was kind of that
revitalization scooby-doo wentthrough the same process and for
some reason they I guess hannah, barbara just had a formula and
they were like, hey, let's makea new series and we're gonna

(07:02):
add a new sidekick.
So for scrappy, do this, thejetsons had this character named
orbity and if you remember himat all, he was just basically
this he was like this littlecreature that has like a garbled
dialect.
He has coil springs for legs.
He changes colors according tohis mood.
He's been described as describedas the jar, jar binks of the
jetsons, uhetsons.

(07:23):
That that's not a great placeto be.
Not a great place to be.
I remember as a kid watching itand not I wasn't super annoyed,
and that's the thing, kids,kids don't really notice it as
much.
You get older and everybody'slike oh yeah, everybody else
hated Scrappy Doo.

Terran (07:37):
Well, I guess I hate Scrappy Doo too it's weird that
that was the formula, becauselike didn't the Brady Bunch
prove that formula didn't work,like 10 years prior?

Nick (07:45):
Listen, if we've learned anything.
Hollywood and television neverlearns their lessons, taryn,
they're just like add a newcharacter.
Let's just make another sequelof this and not learn our
lessons from the last time.

Terran (07:56):
You're not wrong.

Nick (07:57):
Not wrong.
But you know, one thing thatpeople did learn is that there
was a lot of tech that theJetsons kind of predicted, so
like a lot like Star Trek.

Terran (08:04):
Like it's weird how like we tend to base our future
technologies based on what wesaw as kids on TV.

Nick (08:10):
Yeah, it's really strange, like, yeah, star Trek did the
same thing, but it's just anoteworthy couple of things that
the Jetsons kind of put on TVthat became reality were like
video calls and conferencing.
So thanks for for all, for Zoom, jetsons, robotics and
animation.
That's where the Roomba andstuff like that's coming from
your smart homes, your smartwatches, even drones.
And then one that surprised meTaren was tanning beds.

(08:32):
It didn't predict it, but itdefinitely put it in the
forefront of people's minds.
I'm surprised you didn't mentionmoving sidewalks, even though
we now only have them inairports.
So apparently the movingsidewalks did predate the
Jetsons, but it just hadn't beenpushed out entirely yet.
I believe actually one of theDallas it probably is the DFW
airport was one of the firstones to use it.
Huh, In my very quick,half-assed research is what I

(08:55):
saw.

Terran (08:55):
So what you're saying is , the creative team behind the
Jetsons took a trip to Dallasand they were like this is
magical, these are going to beeverywhere in the future.

Nick (09:02):
I don't have to walk anymore, and this is magical.
These are going to beeverywhere in the future.
I don't have to walk anymore.
And then we got Wally, whereeveryone's just in their chairs
not doing anything.

Terran (09:10):
Oh gosh, that future.
But anyway, that future we'requickly on the path on.

Nick (09:13):
We're quickly approaching.
It's not far behind.
So, really so to kind of hyperfocus a little bit, I'm going to
talk about Jetsons the movie.
Since Jetsons the movie, sincewe are making a movie.
So there was one.
There was one that came out in1990.
This was an animated movie.
It's actually one of the onlyproper animated theatrical
release movies thatHanna-Barbera did.

Terran (09:33):
A lot of them were made for TV, like I'm thinking like
Scooby Doo and the Rock andWerewolf and the Ghoul School,
like those were straight to TVmovies.

Nick (09:40):
Yeah, yeah, and even before that, like they did just
a run in the 80s of theHanna-Barbera All-Stars kind of
stuff, where you have all themain characters kind of have
their movies and stuff, justhour-long specials basically.
But this one was directed byHanna and Barbera.
It's one of their last bigprojects.
It was written by a guy namedDennis Marks.
He's basically just known forwriting a lot of 80s and 90s

(10:01):
cartoons.
Know worthy things likespider-man, tmnt, uh, teenage
mutant, ninja, turtles andtransformers, to note some of
them.
Uh, the concept of this one,like we said, it's kind of
access the series finale.
But uh, in the late 21stcentury, uh, spacely sprockets,
uh, you know, mr spacelygeorge's boss, uh, they have
opened a new mining colony on adifferent planet and it turns

(10:23):
out that it's being sabotaged bythese small teddy bear looking
race called grungies yeah,grungies yeah, grungies, because
it's destroying their home.
Clearly it was an ewok situationlike let's introduce these
characters, maybe they'll sell alot of toys, and it didn't
necessarily work real quick.

Terran (10:41):
It's interesting that you bring up the ewok similarity
because while watching themovie they straight up stole uh,
the r2d2 sound effect when heover overloads in new hope.
Oh really, wow, I didn't.
It happens near the beginningof the movie, I think it's when
george is in his car.
But like, that sound effect islike one of my like go-to r2d2
ones that I always like and Iwas like why?

(11:03):
Why is it in this movie?
Did George Lucas sign off onthis?

Nick (11:07):
Hopefully.
If not, he's going to get a bigfat paycheck.
The budget for this movie was$8 million and it only made
$20.3 million.
Taren it opened at fourth placebehind Die Hard 2, days of
Thunder and Dick Tracy, with aweekend gross of $5 million, and
they spent about 12 million onmarketing and that kind of hurt
its ability to turn a profit.
They were putting out Kool-Aidads.

(11:30):
I think there was maybe a tiein at McDonald's or Burger King.
Wendy's, I believe, actuallywas the one that got the toy tie
in, if I remember correctly.
But yeah, they tried their bestto be like hey, it's the
Jetsons.
I think this movie's issue isit came out four or five years
too late because it's it's avery 80s vibe movie which makes

(11:52):
sense for a, for a Jetsons, youknow.

Terran (11:54):
Yeah, and I mean granted , it's the super early 90s so
it's like you know, you alwayshave that sort of like bleed
over a decade when it comes tothat time frame.
But it's like, yeah, like it's.
It definitely feels like themovies that came out about three
or four years before it.
It does not feel like it'sbreaking ground to stand
alongside, like, say, a goofymovie or some of the live action
children's fair that we grew upwith.

Nick (12:14):
Yeah, and it's as I said in my letterbox review.
I was like it's too close togrunge it.
You know the peak of theeighties for for it to have this
much of an eighties tone to it,I think.
I think that's the thing islike I still enjoyed it as a kid
but it definitely watching itnow you're like, yeah, this was
a little bit of too little, toolate kind of situation.

Terran (12:33):
I will say that it definitely feels like a nineties
movie in terms of theecological like ramification.

Nick (12:45):
Like it can stand with fern gully in in that way.
Sure, yeah, they definitelywere like, okay, we're gonna
have this save the animals kindof message.
But we're still in this likecrazy 80s retro vibe kind of
thing going on.

Terran (12:50):
We've got the 3d planets and stuff that are very early
stages of cgi kind of thinggoing on, but it is what it is I
found it to be generally fineand enjoyable it is weird that
some of that cgi does seem tolike look better than some of
the modern stuff that I've beenseeing like.
I don't know if it's like aweird filter pack that's been
going around hollywood, but Ithink there's something to be

(13:10):
said about hand-drawn animationover a cgi model versus full cgi
.

Nick (13:15):
That just sometimes does not look good well, one thing,
not to get too far off on atangent.
But I did see a video about thephantom menace and it was the
film version.
Like versus, like their cleanedup digitized version, and the
cgi bleeds better.
It's like.
It's like oh surprise, we madethis for film and it looks
better on film.

Terran (13:33):
Who would have thought yeah, you know, yeah there's
this weird thing that comes withanalog that just kind of like
if it's made for analog, it'sgoing to look best on that
platform right, yeah, for sure,for sure, to give a quick
useless critic stats rundown.

Nick (13:45):
Um, imdb gave the movie 5.5.
Rotten tomatoes gave it a 27out of 100.
Metacritic gave it a 46.
From critics.
Uh, audiences gave it a 7.1.
Letterbox it sits at 2.8.
I gave it a three on myletterbox rewatch.
Uh, taryn, I don't know if youlogged it yet on letterbox, but
what would you generally give it?

Terran (14:04):
I.
I would give this probably asolid three.
Like it comes to a.
It comes to a point where, likeit's not a bad film, it's just
like, like we've said, it's notbreaking any new ground, it's a
little too late for the era itwas made in.

Nick (14:15):
It's fine yeah, I think it should.
It's obviously it's made by thesame creators that started it,
so like they get all thecharacters down and nailed them
in the spirit of the originalshow.
But I think and and theattempts to kind of modernize it
and make it fit that era arethere and I think that they work
in different places.
In some places they don'tnecessarily.
I mean, we get a full-on musicvideo in the middle of it

(14:36):
between when judy's hanging outwith her boyfriend and you're
just like, oh, that's, this isvery take on me right now.

Terran (14:42):
Okay, we're having're having a moment I thought of a
different media that no one elsewill ever think of.
Do you remember the time Itraumatized you with the film?

Nick (14:50):
Toys, the Robin Williams movie.
Yes, yes.

Terran (14:54):
I do.
It has a very similar musicvideo in the middle of the movie
.

Nick (14:57):
Okay, maybe I shut that out of my memory.
I don't know.
I apologize.
I apologize, you know.
And before we dive too muchfurther, you might be asking
yourself, like we often do onthe show why did we pick this
movie or this series?
And, taryn, you're probablyasking yourself the same thing.
Nick calls you one day and sayswe're going to do Jetsons, and
you're just like okay, sure.
Who's this happy?

(15:20):
to be out of the shadow realm.
To be honest, that's fair,that's fair.
Welcome back, Welcome back.
But the real reason is becausethis was actually the first
movie Taryn I ever saw in amovie theater.

Terran (15:28):
Oh, wow.

Nick (15:29):
Okay, yeah, at two years old we were in a mall movie
theater in Tennessee.
I think my dad was at Reservesor something and my mom was just
trying to kill time.
So me and my older sisters wentto watch it.
And my mom explains to me she'slike uh, you didn't sit down
the entire time, you didn't runaround, you just sat in front of
your chair and and looked upand probably had your mouth wide

(15:49):
open and was just wouldn't move, even though I kept being like
nick, sit down, sit down and thelove for movies was born in.
34 years later, we're still here, um.
So yeah, it has a little nearand dear spot to me, just being
that kind of magical firstmoment for me, and there's
pieces of that I still remember.
I mean, when you're two yearsold it's hard to remember a lot
of things, but it was still alot of fun and I enjoyed it and

(16:11):
I think there's some nostalgiaglasses with it.
Rewatching it now, but I canstill see like, okay, the
pacing's a little off, like it'svery much not big enough in
terms of the style and theanimation to really be worthy, I
would say, of a huge theatricalrelease.
I think it was just one ofthose situations you know oh,
yeah, absolutely.

Terran (16:31):
And um, like going to like I'm trying to remember what
the first movie I saw intheaters was and I I don't think
this is correct, but the firstone I can remember seeing is
fern gully.
So it's like it's one of thosethings when you're a little kid
and you see something that'slarger than life for the first
time, like, yeah, like it'sgoing to be grand because it's
the first theater experienceyou're having.
But yeah, like, looking back on, like, especially like the

(16:52):
Jetsons, it's a film that Ithink definitely deserved
grander than what it got, andit's definitely a film, a
franchise.
I would say.
It's definitely a franchisethat I would say.

Nick (17:04):
I'm sorry to see that it yeah, I mean again, like we saw,
like we talked about, it didn'tblow up when it first was
launched in the 60s and then ithad this kind of 80s reboot
because it just fit the vibe ofthe 80s and they tried to make
this movie.
And I'm and it's weird becauseuniversal bought the rights to
this in the flintstones and weobviously got the flintstones
live action movie a few yearslater and there's even tie-ins

(17:27):
to the theme park with thejetsons and stuff leading up to
this movie.
But but I guess they justdidn't have the faith to make it
like a full live action thingor just put that much money into
it as they did the Flintstones,because the Flintstones was
like a juggernaut, it was theSimpsons before the Simpsons,
you know, and so I think that'sjust why it got the attention,
the budget it got and that's whyit just is what it is.

(17:47):
But what happened actually isinteresting.
Because of the failure of themovie they eventually sold
Hanna-Barbera to Ted Turner whoinvented Cartoon Network, or his
group did, and then from therewe get a lot of the cartoon
cartoons of that show.
That's why we got to watch somany Hanna-Barbera shows on
Cartoon Network.
And then they created the new90s series like Powerpuff Girls

(18:09):
and Dexter's Lab and JohnnyBravo and stuff out of that.

Terran (18:12):
So kind of a phoenix rising from the ashes kind of
moments something has to die forsomething new to be born, kind
of thing very much so and I mean, this is maybe one of those
things that's going to hit thecutting room floor, uh, when we
uh, when we look back on thisepisode.
But I remember playing acartoon network game uh, it's
mmo called fusion fall, whereone of the stages of that mmo
was the hannah barbara ruinsthat would have like the

(18:35):
hieroglyphics of yogi bear andthe flintstones and the jessons,
and it was just this weirdancient temple that had that so
like, like.
It's weird that, like cartoonnetwork, at least up until like
the point of the 2010s, wasacutely aware that they were
built on a foundation of thehannah barbara royalty, to sort
of be the foundation to hey,we're going to show you these

(18:55):
cartoons until we can get ourown catalog up and running,
which is when we got powerpuff,dexter's laboratory, johnny,
bravo, cow and chicken for sure.

Nick (19:03):
Yeah, no, that's really funny.
That's just funny to thinkabout.

Terran (19:06):
Here are the lost ruins of of what was before, and I
think I remember those I thinkthey even spelled it weird in
the game to make it sound likeit was some sort of lost name to
time of the Han-Bar-Be-Bear.
There were weird spaces likeletters had been left out.

Nick (19:22):
Gotcha, gotcha.
So just before we dive intothis, I want to talk about the
adaptations that they've triedto do in the last 20 years.
So in 2003, adamankman wasgoing to write and direct a film
.
Uh, then it got to 2006 and itrelaunched that idea with adam f
goldberg.
In 2007, robert rodriguezenters talks with universal

(19:43):
studios and warner brothers tomake a cgi adaptation, so that
could have been reallyinteresting.
The spy kids director for thoseof you that don't know, and
also sin city, uh city.
Kanye West in 2012 wasmistakenly reported as creative
director and I think he just ranwith that for a minute.
It was like yeah, totally.
And then they're like he,that's no there.
There was nothing that truefrom that.

Terran (20:02):
That feels like the thing Kanye would have said,
like he would have put thatenergy out there just to like
hype him up.

Nick (20:07):
Yes, exactly it was.
It was Pete Kanye.
Pete Kanye before the darktimes.
Uh, 2015, Warner brothers wasplanning a new animated Jetsons
feature film, which obviouslydidn't happen.
And then, 2017, there wasapparently an, a pilot that was
ordered by ABC for a live actionsitcom of the Jetsons.
None of this has has come tofruition, as far as I know.
As far as I could research, itjust never happened.

(20:28):
So that's what we're doing,Taryn, is that we're going to do
it ourselves?
So we're going to make our ownlive action Jetsons movie in the
mid, you know, 2010s, and justsee where we go with it.

Terran (20:39):
All right.

Nick (20:41):
Before we do that, there is one, one question, one thing
I want to discuss very quicklybefore we dive in, and that is
the fan theory there are.
There are two major fantheories about the Jetsons and
I'm just going to quickly goover them, and they both stem
from the Jetsons beat, theFlintstones TV movie where, if
you're not familiar with that,the Jetsons Elroy he's kind of
an inventor kid he invents atime machine and he thinks he's

(21:03):
going to take his family intothe year like 2500 and ends up
actually reversing that andgoing to the time of the
Flintstones, you know, back in10,000 BC.

Terran (21:13):
And so your Shannon it gets out of hand.
Your math was wrong.

Nick (21:16):
You mathed math wrong.
So there are two theories thathave come out of this from fans
Taren.
The first one is thepost-apocalyptic, so this theory
had its beginnings from theshow and the idea is that,
instead, what if the machineactually took them to the 25th
century?
And what if the machineactually took them to the 25th
century?
And what if the flintstones areactually set in a
post-apocalyptic future?

(21:36):
So something happened the bombsdropped and and these space sky
cities just did not survive,and that's why the flintstones
potentially have tv andappliances and stuff of the
modern stone age okay, I mean, Ithink this theory does have
merit, just off the simple factthat, like like you said, it's
the modern Stone Age family.

Terran (21:55):
It's right they have.
They have TVs, they have.
They have different amenitiesthat you know, the average
caveman back in the day wouldnot Right.

Nick (22:04):
No, no, yeah, Like in, a lot of them are animal based, so
like their dishwasher, their,their garbage disposal their
shower is like is a woollymammoth or something like that.
Their garbage disposal theirshower is like a woolly mammoth
or something like that.

Terran (22:14):
I think that's where the theory may fall apart, though.
Is that like what sort of fastacting evolution had to occur
for the dinosaurs to come back?

Nick (22:27):
Right.
Well, it could be a thing ifyou're trying to follow the
logic of it.
It could be a thing where it'slike enough people survived,
enough technology survived, andmaybe it's kind of the same
thing that's discussed in likethe Dune series, where they're
like we don't trust computersanymore, so we're going to go a
different route with ourtechnology and stuff.
And so maybe they went let's bea little more analog and just
we're going to replicate theseanimals because they're strong
and big and they're going to beour machines and stuff like that
.
So you know, just justenslaving animals and stuff to

(22:49):
do our work.

Terran (22:49):
That's the logic that they I feel like we found a less
ethical way of to bring backdinosaurs than jurassic park was
doing I would.

Nick (22:56):
It seems about that way, yeah no capitalism or slavery.

Terran (23:00):
Um what's the difference ?

Nick (23:04):
uh, but uh.
So apparently somebody pointedout that a official publicity
photo for the flintstoneswhenbbles their child was born.
A chart on Wilma's bed clearlylists the birth year as 10,000
BC.
So the Flintstones cannot existat the same time and no
apocalypse has occurred,apparently.
So if apparently somebody didthe deep diving, I will believe

(23:24):
them.
Sure, absolutely 100%.

Terran (23:27):
I mean this is to assume they didn't come up with a
different timeline, the same waywe came up with AD and BC.

Nick (23:32):
Right, come up with a different timeline, the same way
we came up with ad and bc,right.
So the other theory we'll jumpinto taran is that it's called
the divided coexistence theory.
So this one is just.
It's not that the time machinewent forwards or backwards, it
just sucked and went to straightto the actual earth's uh
surface.
Because it's been like all timemachine attempts prior to it.
Right, it is because in thejetsons, if you don't know, they
live in the sky, like they'rethese cities.

(23:52):
It's kind of like Cloud City inStar Wars, like they're all
just above the clouds, so wenever really see the ground and
the earth and stuff, and sothat's.
The theory is that it's like,well, they're actually existing
at the same time, which could befun.
It's a fun idea.

Terran (24:14):
You know, you've just got all these humans that are
living on Earth unaware thatthere's flying jets and stuff
going around them.
I I like this theory justbecause I find it to be like
something that would happen.

Nick (24:18):
Like, like people would just happen to live next door to
like uh, cave people, but theydon't know it because they're
just so wrapped up in their ownfuture nonsense fair, yeah, or
it's the whole thing like well,we don't go to the surface, you
know that there's there'smonsters down there, and then
it's just fred flintstonedriving to work.

Terran (24:31):
I just just don't know how the Flintstones don't
realize that there are thesegiant support beams plastered
into the ground everywhere.

Nick (24:40):
They're just disguised as like giant trees or something
it's like no one's ever beenable to climb them.

Terran (24:45):
Because I'll say this, between the Flintstones and the
Jetsons, the Flintstones were atleast OSHA compliant.
The Jetsons is a logisticalnightmare that there should be
dead people falling from the skyon a daily basis.

Nick (24:57):
Oh, I'm sure I, I bet I wonder what the like, the toll
is of people like well, we gotanother person jumping off the
building again.
That's a very dark reality tothink about, but I mean that
happens, you know.

Terran (25:09):
Yeah, like it's it's one of those things that like the
more I looked at Jetsons, I waslike how are these people
surviving up there?
This is a death trap in the sky, it's true.

Nick (25:17):
It's true.
So one thing that does ruinthis theory is that there are
two episodes that show theJetsons on the ground.
Apparently, in episodes six andseven the original series run,
they do end up on the ground.
So sorry about you, star Trekis retconned, worse, retconned,
worse.
You know it is what it is.
So, yeah, so, all that removed,I think we're ready to cast

(25:38):
here.

Terran (25:39):
Are you ready?
Let's get into it.

Nick (25:41):
So if you're wondering, okay, what are you casting?
You cast in the movie, castingthe show, we're casting just the
main members of the TV show,the main players, and that's
going to astro blue sorry, yeah,apollo blue or whatever his
name is from the tv show, themovie.
Excuse me one, one of judyjetson's many conquests, one of
her many boy boyfriends that shegoes after it's.
It's a running gag of the showin the movies, especially in the

(26:03):
movie, she literally is likecrying because cosmo started
dating my friend after I leftearth and immediately turns and
goes oh, it's a romeo and julietsituation.
It's a Romeo and Julietsituation.
It's immediately Rosalind who,yeah, exactly so, from bottom to
top, we're doing Cogswell, therival of Spacely, mr Spacely and
his sprockets.
We have Astro, the family dog.
Rosie the robot, the butlerrobot, mr Spacely himself.

(26:26):
Elroy Jetson, the boy geniuswonder, judy Jetson, the teenage
daughter of the Jetsons, janeJetson, boy genius wonder.
Judy jetson, the teenage, uh,daughter of the jetsons.
Jane jetson, the wife, andgeorge jetson himself.
Mr I go to work and pushbuttons all day um.

Terran (26:38):
Relatable in a modern context oh yeah, I do find it
kind of odd that george's job isonly pushing one button like
what?
How can I get into that careerpath?

Nick (26:48):
see, even in the future.
They understood that, ai, wecouldn't just fully allow the
machines to take over somebody.
We had to have at least thehuman to go.
Okay, start.
But uh, we're gonna do a quickrun, kind of our 30 seconds or
less, with cogswell, astro androsie, just because, uh, we'll
have a quick discussion abouttwo of the characters and one of
them is actually a characterthat will be played by a human

(27:10):
for sure.
So, taryn, let's really quicklytalk about Astro and Rosie the
robot.
Obviously, in the show Astro isa kind of talking dog, alice
Scooby-Doo, and then Rosie therobot is a robot.
So how, how were youvisualizing them in your live
action version of your movie?

Terran (27:26):
So I was definitely thinking more like CGI amongst
the human characters, like, eventhough that this would be like
a good 15 years after the fact,I was thinking astro should be
like almost verbatim scooby-doo,like live action scooby-doo,
yeah, um, just the sameanimation, the same energy, like
probably, you know, you'd havemore pixels dedicated to showing
his fur, but yeah, like samesort of style yeah, we're still

(27:47):
in that era when, when there'sadaptations like this, they're
still trying to go for a senseof realism, even though you have
a talking dog like scooby-doo.

Nick (27:54):
But you know, and we've reached this point now where,
like with the whole sonicdebacle which turned out for the
better because they were likewe don't like hyper realistic
sonic, give us cartoony sonicand it worked and it just can be
good sometimes, right, yes, soI, I don't know, I think,
depending on your aesthetic,because it's also something to
think about you.
You know the original show wasfollowing this style that the

(28:14):
name escapes me, but it was thatpopular kind of look of the 50s
and 60s where it had that spaceage.
Yeah, kind of art deco.
There's another term thatstarts with a G that escapes me
at the moment, some architecttype person screaming it right
now.
Yeah, we're movie people, notart people.
Sorry, sorry, so sorry.
But I think if you're blendingthat in with it, kind of giving

(28:35):
that shiny kind of future lookto it and everything, I think
there's room to have a littlebit more of a cartoony Astro
versus the just we have to makehim real as possible.

Terran (28:47):
I mean Scooby-Doo did that too, like when we were in
Spooky Island it definitely feltlike, ok, this is a realistic
version of what the cartoon was,sort of like yeah, yeah, yeah
for sure.

Nick (28:55):
And then with with rosie, I think I would blend, I would,
I would have a robot on set andjust have a lot of fun with that
, but then have some littlepieces that are added for with
cgi and stuff now let me ask youthis do you modernize?

Terran (29:07):
how rosie looks?
I?

Nick (29:09):
think that's the question.
It's like, do you adhere verystrictly to the look of the
original 60s show and give itthat kind of retro throwback, or
do you kind of try to modernize, like the definition of the
future, you know, because Ithink you want to lean towards
the fan base and make sure thatgeorge and everybody looks like
they're supposed to in dresseslike they did in the past, but
not where it's ridiculous, likeif you try to look up cosplay of

(29:31):
a lot of these characters,they're gonna look kind of
ridiculous because they don'tquite fit on normal human bodies
oh exactly, yeah, and so Ithink there's some, some level
of like adjustment that's gonnago on.
But I would, I would like to see, yeah, some of that art deco.
Uh, look that sci-fi, retro,look going on I would.

Terran (29:47):
I would probably steal a page from the not the most
modern but now like from theearly 2000s Lost in Space when
they had to update the robot.
So they gave it a verydifferent look, even though they
use the same voice.
But by the end of the movie,will Robinson has to actually
rebuild robot and that's whenhis classic body comes out.
I don't know if you could dothat same type of story, but

(30:07):
maybe you show, like the Rosiethe robot had, like a previous
model, that now this is the newupgrade, where you you honor
what came before but you stillshare.
Hey, like you know, maybe inthe future they still upgrade
things right, yeah, I mean, youcould.

Nick (30:20):
Yeah, that could be a whole storyline of itself of
like kind of moving on from thepast and trying to accept some
change that's going on.
It's like, well, this is notthe rosy I remember.
It's like, no, it's still rosy,it's just she just looks
different.
Yeah, um, so real quick.
Uh, we'll start with astrotaryn.
Who do you have in mind forastro?
Is it a voice actor?

Terran (30:37):
so he has done some voice work, but I think he's
definitely more known for hisactual like on a film presence.
Um, he is known for his work inuh comedy in particular.
Um, because I definitely wanteda more comedic field, to be
like a child's companion, and Iwent with Dan Fogler who who I

(30:57):
know him from balls of fury, buthe was also Jacob in the
fantastic B series Gotcha.

Nick (31:05):
Okay, how do you spell Fogler for F?

Terran (31:06):
O G L E R L E R.

Nick (31:09):
And Dan is just D A N D?
A?
N.
Okay, perfect, cool.
Yeah, dan Fogler?
Oh, the guy from he's also inFantastic Beast, and when to
Find them?
He's the assistant guy.
I don't know if you said that.
I apologize.

Terran (31:20):
I literally said his name is Jacob, okay.

Nick (31:22):
Yeah, and then he's in Fanboys and Good Luck, chuck,
for people that aren't familiarat that time.
Yeah, think that's really funny.
He could.
He could definitely have somefun with the astro character
voice personality, especially I.
I went with a more uh, uhclassic voice actor from the 90s

(31:43):
, hank azira.
Uh, known for simpsons.
Uh, he's also done live actionwork, uh, as in mystery men and
godzilla.
I just think you know it wasjust kind of like a quick, easy
layup of like this guy, he, hedoes those kind of voices really
well and I think he, he wouldnail like the Astro voice that
we all know and kind of love, ohyeah, yeah.
But who's your Rosie?
Who do you have in mind for her?

Terran (32:00):
So my Rosie is someone that what she's in for me is
very hit and miss, but I wentwith Melissa McCarthy.

Nick (32:08):
Okay, yeah, I thought about her for sure.
Yeah, she kind of fits the vibe, because Rosie's very sarcastic
or kind of isn't just a slaverobot, she's a butler or
whatever you would call.
It Is a female butler, a maid,thank you.
She does all the work, butshe's not afraid to throw some
sass at George when he complainsabout oh, you didn't cook eggs

(32:31):
this morning or you burnt thetoast, or something like that my
one.

Terran (32:36):
My one issue with casting her was that I was
afraid it would be too close toanother role that she had, where
she plays the role of a Sookiein um Gilmore girls.
She's like the cook for thehotel and she's the best friend
to Lorelei and I think of thatexact energy like really fits
Rosie.
Energy like really fits rosie.
But it may just been a littletoo close to home, so I couldn't
think of anyone else better tofit that role, but I would
afraid be a little bit afraid ofit being typecasting that's

(32:58):
fair.

Nick (32:58):
That's fair.
Well, speaking of typecasting,I might have hit the nail right
on the head, taryn, because I'mbringing an old classic from the
90s as well.
Uh, she was in the flintstonesand I don't really I didn't
really think where this is goingnow so for rosie the robot, I'm
bringing you rosie o'donnell,yeah I, I actually thought about
her too.
That one was pretty, prettystraightforward.

(33:18):
Yeah, I, I just didn't.
She kind of is rosie the robotto an extent in terms of like
the sass and thecharacterization classic 90s
rosie o'donnell like absolutely100 yeah, if you don't know her,
yeah, she was bet was Betty inFlintstones, she's in Harriet.
The Spy League of their OwnSleep is in Seattle.
She's done voice work in Tarzan.

(33:38):
She was Turk in that one andthen here recently she's been
kind of doing more of the same.
She hasn't been as big on theradar with a lot of stuff, but
has made appearances in TV showslike Empire, captain Shake and
the Neverland Pirates, the TVseries Mom and then the Fosters,
and then she has cameos inthings like Pitch Perfect 2.
But I just think she's going tonail it.
We miss Rosie O'Donnell anyway.

(33:59):
We need her to come back and Ithink this is a good little spot
for her in the 2010s to have afun, memorable role here.

Terran (34:06):
Absolutely.
I am not upset with either oneof our choices.
Excellent, excellent.

Nick (34:19):
Alright, let our choices, excellent, excellent, all right,
let's round out ourquote-unquote 30 or less with
cogswell.
Again, he's the rival to mrspacely.
He's the guy with glasses,that's a little taller and he's
kind of he's very much acaricature of like that 60s, 50s
businessman type.
He's kind of got that voice andhe's just yeah, you're a
businessman, right, and sothat's just kind of the original
concept for him.
So, taryn, I will ask you againwho is your Cogswell?

Terran (34:34):
So, Cogswell, like I definitely went with him, being
sort of like the guy that alwaysones up, Mr Spacely, Like he is
the bane of Mr Spacely'sexistence For sure.
And going back, I went back toa specific character from a
somewhat obscure movie of Honeywe Shrunk Ourselves.
Oh, the neighbor to theseLinsky's that ends up getting

(34:58):
shrunk with with the main couple.
His the actor's name is StuartPankin, and even though I know
him from honey, we shrunk thekids.
He was also in Congo.
He was played Boyd in Congo.

Nick (35:06):
Oh, okay, yeah, he's.
He's one of those faces.
You definitely remember him.
I remember him from Honey weShrunk Ourselves.

Terran (35:13):
In fact, in 2015, he actually did an episode of Girl
Meets World where he plays theprincipal and even like watching
that clip just to see if I wasstill getting that feeling of
him at this stage in his career.
It's like he knows how to likeplay that sort of like that smug
, like I know exactly what'sgoing on, but then when the

(35:34):
tables turn and he's on like thereceiving end of the bad news,
he just like it will becomestill that comedic, like oh no,
like I realized the pain I'mabout to go through, type
character right, absolutely.

Nick (35:40):
Um, just a quick note, I do want to.
This is an animation, uhcentric show, so I want to
highlight the voice actors ofthese people.
Um, rosie the robot wasoriginally played by jean
evander pile.
She's best known for playingWilma Flintstone in the original
series.
Don Messick is known formultiple roles.
He voiced Astro, but he's alsovoiced Scooby-Doo, bam Bam from
the Flintstones, muttley the dogand wacky races, boo Boo and

(36:03):
Ranger Smith and the Yogi Bear,papa Smurf and the Smurfs,
hampton J Pig for youmillennials and tiny to
adventures and Dr Ben Quest inJohnny Quest.
So he's one of those big, biganimation voice actor types.
And then Cogswell was voiced byDawes Butler, who's also a big
Hanna-Barbera voice actor.
He did Yogi Bear, huckleberryHound, snagglepuss and Quick

(36:24):
Draw McGraw, to just name a fewvery memorable ones from back in
the day.

Terran (36:28):
So what you're telling me, nick, is that Hanna-Barbera
was not afraid to just let theseguys like oh, you want to be
part of the new show?
Well, yeah, you're in.

Nick (36:35):
I mean, that's just the way it was.
You know, up the list we've gotMel Blanc that did Mr Spacey
and he was just the Looney Tunesguy.
You know, like before we gotlike the stunt castings of
celebrities and us from the 90sthat have podcasts now or they

(36:56):
show up at comic cons andeverybody's just like please do
the voice one more time.
They like they had a readthrough the star wars playing
all these different characters.

Terran (37:02):
So it's which is hilarious.
If you guys haven't seen that,you should absolutely find that
footage online yeah, for sure.

Nick (37:08):
I'm sure it's on youtube or something.
Um, just to move things along,though, I was tempted to pick
the literal lookalike in reallife of Kevin Spacey, but given
that Kevin Spacey is KevinSpacey right now, I'm going to
sidestep that and give you BobOdenkirk.
Okay, yeah, bob Odenkirk.

(37:28):
If you know him, he's fromBetter Call Saul.
More recently, he was inBreaking Bad as Saul Goodman.
Then he was in Breaking Bad asSaul Goodman, then he was in a
movie called Nobody, which iskind of a John Wick kind of
ripoff, quote unquote.
At this point in time in the mid2010s, he's in between those
shows, breaking Bad and BetterCall Saul.
He's about to start Better CallSaul in 2015.
And then he's a writer on theBirthday Boys this TV show and

(37:50):
then he's doing a podcast calledComedy Bang Bang is this TV
show, and then he's doing apodcast called Comedy Bang Bang.
But I just think he has so muchfun playing the smarmy lawyer
that I could see him easilyplaying the smarmy company owner
.
That's just always, like yousaid, always one-upping Mr
Spacely, always giving him crapand just really adding some
humor and comedy to it as well,because he's also a pretty
decent writer with a lot ofstuff as well.

(38:10):
Oh yeah, absolutely For sure,for sure.
I like both our choices.
I think I liked that you wentkind of an unexpected character
actor.
Then I went with someone that'sis a character actor, but he's
kind of gotten that a boost justbeing so prominently known as
Saul Goodman, for sure.

Terran (38:24):
Both of our choices.
Pick like they.
They fit this character well,but in different ways, Sure ways
, sure for sure, absolutely.

Nick (38:34):
Okay, we knocked out our quote-unquote 30 seconds or less
, so let's jump into our mainfive, and we're going to start
with the boss man himself, mrspacely.
He was originally voiced by melblank.
Uh, in the original series.
In case you don't know, melblank, yes, he's the man of a
thousand voices.
Bugs bunny, just keep goingdown that list.
He's probably voiced them onthe looney toon side.
Uh, he, this is actually one ofhis last films, taron.
He actually didn't get tofinish everything, and so voice

(38:55):
actor Jeff Bergman was used insome scenes, just because he
passed away during productionand the film was actually
dedicated to him, and GeorgeO'Hanlon, who voices George,
because they both passed awaywhile making the movie.
But Mr Spacely, he's just agreedy curmudgeon kind of a
Scrooge type of character.
There's actually an episodefrom the 80s where they do the

(39:16):
whole Christmas Carol thing withhim, but he just never gives
George rage, never gives him apromotion, and that's something
that they finally touch on inthe movie, where George finally
gets the promotion.
But he's just always the yellat George through the intercom,
through the voice chat, and he'sa small man.
He's got some Napoleon complexgoing on.
Taryn, I'm going to go firstfor you because there wasn't a

(39:36):
lot of thought with this one.
This one was pretty easy for me.

Terran (39:38):
I don't know if we have the same person we may, because
I thought about this for fourseconds before I knew exactly
who I was going to pick.

Nick (39:45):
Well, jesse Reisner is going to be super happy.
Friend of the show, used to beour editor and also guy behind
the scenes.
I'm giving you danny devitotaran oh, okay, I can see that.

Terran (39:55):
I can see that, not who I went with, but I could see it
taran.

Nick (39:58):
There are so many roles from animation that when they're
talking about making these liveaction movies, I'm like he's
right there, danny devito'sright there, just cast the man
he's.
We don't have him for muchlonger.
We don't know how much longerwe get danny devito don't you
put that energy out there not?
Knocking on wood, just I'm justsaying.
I'm just saying art, people getold, it happens.
But just cast a new videoplease, as mr spacely come on,

(40:19):
we that's what the world wantsto see.

Terran (40:21):
Oh guys, I mean, let's be perfectly honest, I would
want to see danny devito playmost, most roles.
Like, yeah, like I would watcha whole movie of danny devito
playing every character.

Nick (40:30):
It doesn't matter what the movie is.
We need a john malkovich beingjohn malkovich with dan devito,
that's.
That's the kind of level he'son at this point.

Terran (40:36):
Yes, absolutely so.
Um, I decided on my mr spacelyabout as quickly as you did, but
I went with a differentdirection because, um, mr
spacely, every time I waswatching like an episode or I
was watching the movie, he justcomes across as this guy that
like he always knows what's best.
Even when he doesn't knowwhat's best, he's 100 percent

(41:01):
certain in his own crookednessthat like, oh no, this is the
morally right thing to dobecause it helps me, and every
time I saw him it just wouldanother character not the actor,
but a character would pop up.
The problem is is that thischaracter is also tied hand in
hand with the actor thatportrays him.
Oh, okay.
So every time I would see MrSpacely, I would see J Jonah
Jameson.
Oh, okay, which?

(41:24):
Means I automatically saw JKSimmons.

Nick (41:27):
Hey, it's the mustache.
I think it works.
It works.
I don't think that's a badchoice at all.
I think he definitely.
I mean it's he.
You're putting him into a kindof a specific genre of acting
where it's like hey, you're justthe boss that yells at people,
but by gosh, he's so good at it.
That's.
That's why he does it so wellthat's why he got an oscar and
whiplash for doing it.
Yeah, he beat up miles tellertelling him to get on tempo.

(41:51):
He's gonna yell it.

Terran (41:53):
I'm doing him a courtesy because in 2015 the thing that
he was in, the biggest thing hewas in, was terminator genesis
oh, no, man, we need a goodterminator movie.
We're due for one and see,here's the thing terminator
genesis is like one of thoselike guilty pleasure movies that
like I know it's bad but I'llstill watch it, sure, um, but jk
simmons role in that movie wasnot like he wasn't john connor,

(42:16):
he was like a detective.
That was just proven rightbecause he's witnessed the
events of the first terminatormovie.
Gotcha, okay, gotcha like Ifeel like I could like say like
dude, come in, like play likejay jonah jameson light in this
movie, sure have fun with it.

Nick (42:30):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Uh.
Danny devito right now otherthan doing sunny in philadelphia
uh, he's in a movie called inthe wilderness and ben is in the
one direction.

Terran (42:38):
Music video for steal my girl which mad props for one
direction on having the wisdomto hire danny devito.

Nick (42:44):
For sure, for sure, I'm gonna have to go watch this
later because I'm just like what?
Why is danny devito?
It's not a question of why, butjust how are you using danny
devito?
I'm intrigued.
I'm intrigued, all right.
Well, yeah, I like both ourchoices that both work again in
different ways in theirspecialities.
So we're going to move up toElroy.
Elroy Jetson.
He is the youngest child of theJetson family.

(43:05):
He is voiced originally by aman by the name of Dawes Butler,
who also voiced Cogswell, but Iguess that he passed away
because he's voiced instead byPatrick Zimmerman, and he's a
voice actor of 80s and 90scartoons.
But, strangely, what a lot ofpeople may actually know him for
is he is the voice of a videogame character from the series

(43:27):
Metal Gear Solid.
He is Revolver Ocelot.
It's a.
It's a it's kind of this one ofthe big villains of reoccurring
throughout the entire series.
So it's just funny that he'splaying that character, but also
playing Elroy.

Terran (43:39):
My boy Elroy.
What have you become?

Nick (43:41):
Yes, exactly, but uh for dolls.
But let me talk about it.
You know he worked on a lot ofthose, uh, Hanna-Barbera
cartoons, quick drama graw Yogibear kid.
He invents things here andthere in the movie.
He has a.
He's a basketball player,because nothing screams 90s more
than I love basketball.

Terran (43:59):
Yeah that was one thing jesson's got right about the 90s
is that, uh, whatever sport wasbig before, basketball reigned
supreme in the 90s exactly 100for sure, um, and he for for
being a kid in the show.

Nick (44:11):
He I never took him as annoying, you know, no, I never
sat there and went.
Oh, elra is so annoying like he.
He strangely was.
He's because he's very, like,relaxed and chill half the time
and he's never really he's not.
He's not the over obnoxious orloud all the time kind of
character.

Terran (44:25):
He's usually kind of sometimes a voice of reason with
a lot of the series and stuffwhen george is doing something
crazy yeah, he's definitely moreof like a will robinson
character who, like he's a kid,but he's also kind of like that
inter, like that introvertedtype personality.
He wasn't like a cousin Oliverfrom the Brady Bunch.
That was just like, oh crap,this kid's on screen again right
, for sure.

Nick (44:46):
Okay, taryn, who is your Elroy?

Terran (44:47):
so I actually had a little bit of trouble with my
Elroy, because I wanted to get akid who like looked like he
could be Elroy's age and not belike a teenager trying to
portray a kid, sure, uh, butalso have like a level of acting
chops behind them to like beable to like portray a more
complex character.
Yeah, um, I went with oaksfegley, who is not a household

(45:09):
name, uh, as of yet I think he'sactually getting bigger and
bigger because he's actuallybeen in some pretty big stuff
here lately.
Um, I think he's been in, um,uh, what was it?
What was that?
A spielberg movie that came outabout movie makers, the
fableman's.
He was in the fableman's, okay,um, but I and you would
probably most know him asplaying, uh, pete in pete's
dragon.

Nick (45:28):
Oh, the reboot that came out a couple years ago oh yeah,
back in 2016 this would be oneyear before my casting year that
I chose for myself nice andagain we're loose on the rules
in this, in these episodes, soit's not like, hey, you gotta
get, you gotta hit, you gottahit the numbers, but uh, yeah, I
think that, that, I think thatworks.
I, I vaguely remembering him, Iremember him kind of having
that.
It's what we would call.
What do you call?

(45:49):
it's like, uh, old spirit orwhatever, or he's an old soul
old soul, but it's really justlike oh, you're a weird kid,
that doesn't mean that you'relike wise and majestic or
anything.
Yeah, just like you're saying alot of interesting things, but
no, that that totally makessense.
Like I could.
I think I'm, if I'm rememberingcorrectly from that character.
I think he, he has all thosecredentials for sure that we've
just discussed.
Um, I was initially just gonnareally just lean into some fan

(46:14):
favorite and give you the guywho voiced Charlie Brown in the
Peanuts reboot.
He's mainly known for StrangerThings and he's Will in Stranger
Things it's.

Terran (46:25):
Noah.

Nick (46:25):
Shop.
I was tempted to go withsomeone else, but I'll just go
with him because he's prettywell known.
He gets started with StrangerThings right in 2016.
Before that, he does the Peanpeanut show or the movie, excuse
me and then he's also in bridgeof spies.
Uh, I think that's anotherspielberg movie.
So we just pick spielberg guys,okay, yeah, so well, we're

(46:46):
trusting spielberg with hischild actor.

Terran (46:48):
I mean, if you're gonna, trust anybody.

Nick (46:50):
It's the one, like spielberg chose him.
So we can't be that bad.
Yeah, but no, I, I like, I likeboth of those.
I think think again, we just,we trust the master and so we
just we're just going to rollwith it.
So up next, taryn, and remindme it's how do you spell his
last name?
Oaks, what?

Terran (47:08):
Oaks, fegley, that's F E G L E Y.

Nick (47:12):
L E Y cool, cool, cool.
So up next we have judy jetson.
Now she this.
This role in the movie inparticular was a little
controversial, but originallyshe was played by janet waldo.
Uh, she voiced a lot of hannah,barbara, characters like
penelope pitstop from the wackyraces, uh, princess from battle
of the planets, and then josiein josie and the pussycats.
Okay, so she's.

(47:32):
She's kind of like their go-to,like we need a young female
voice, and they were like gether, except for when we make the
movie, because they swapped herout for the pop star known as
Tiffany Taryn.

Terran (47:43):
Yeah, yeah, I saw that recasting in the opening credits
.

Nick (47:46):
Yeah.
So Tiffany, if you don't know,she was a pop star back in the
80s.
She recorded several songs forthe movie and I guess somewhere
along the way because JanetWaldo recorded her lines,
Somewhere along the way becauseJanet Waldo recorded her lines
and then they just decided forcontinuity but also to try to
get some younger people's eyeson the product.
We're going to have Tiffany doall this and it was actually one
of her first feature works inthis movie.

(48:09):
She's just simply credited asTiffany.
But Janet Waldo, she was justsuper upset, Even like the
casting director, Andrea Romano,requested that her name be
removed from the credits becausethat's how much she believed in
a mistake it was.
They were like, wow, it wasjust a betrayal of, because she
was one of the last voice actorsof the original cast that was

(48:29):
still alive and after the moviecame out.

Terran (48:32):
Yeah, I mean, I get it, because I mean not to bring up
another animated movie tocompare it to.
But like that's kind of whathappened with Scoob.
When you have the actors whohave been portraying these
characters for decades, likeliteral decades, and they are
just replaced without even aphone call, like yeah, it hurts.

Nick (48:50):
Yeah, it's kind of I don't know if this is the first time
it happens where like a star isput in place instead of like an
act a proper actor, you know, orvoice actor, you know but it's
in the 90s.
You're starting to see thatturn of the tide which really
starts to happen because ofrobin williams's genie which he
had.
He was very much against himbeing advertised a lot as it.
He didn't want to be like themain focus of it but it just

(49:11):
became that and from there nowwe have where they have.
It's like they just you get.
You get the 20 names on theanimated cartoon list because
for some reason they thinkthat'll sell.
They'll put butts in seats andI'm like, okay, maybe one name,
but like you don't need 20a-list actors to make it.
Like the art of voice acting isso much bigger and better and
there's so many great names thatare out there and they need to
have more opportunities thanjust tv shows and stuff and

(49:33):
that's not to say that therearen't voice or there aren't, um
, like live action actors whocan't do really good voice work.

Terran (49:40):
Sure, but it's this like this notion that like, oh,
we're going to stack the deckand create this like big
celebrity casting.
It's like, well, no, like ifthey can do the job, let them do
the job, but if not and youalso already have people who are
like, know these characters andknow their personalities and
know their ins and outs why areyou messing with the formula?
Why are you messing with a goodthing?

Nick (50:01):
yeah, and and luckily before uh, hannah and barbara
passed away, they did kind of doa public apology about it and
they even apologized to her andI think janet waldo was
accepting of it.
So everyone was cool.
There was no, no concurring badblood per se.
But Judy, like we said, she'sjust kind of a typical teenager,

(50:22):
especially that throwback tothe 60s and 50s where it's like
they're obsessed with a popartist or that lead singer of
the band and stuff and theyreally lean again into that.
Where Judy's in the 80s she'sinto that rock star looking guy,
they definitely make him looklike a Boy, boy, george or a
david bowie type of looking guyor somebody from, like you know,
one of the one of the hairbands of the time.

(50:42):
But she again, she's just,she's always kind of a little
dramatic, little overly dramaticand stuff, but it's, it's a fun
role.
She.
She definitely the voiceactress you can tell definitely
has a lot of fun.
And even tiffany to, to hercredit.
She did a decent job, I wouldsay, in the movie.
It wasn't like it was otherthan the fact that it didn't, it
wasn't the original voice, itwas like she did a okay job.
Wouldn't like you're like man,this is just, this is not a good

(51:04):
reading.
But uh, taryn, tell me who youhave for judy jesson, because
you said you had a pretty quickanswer for that, so yeah, uh,
judy was actually the firstperson that I cast, mainly
because she was maybe the one Iwas most concerned about.

Terran (51:19):
Okay, because when I was watching the movie and I saw
that she that she had like asinging role, like you know,
tiffany the singer being thecharacter like yeah, like you
kind of put those puzzle piecestogether Like there's going to
be a song somewhere in here.
So I was like I need someone whois going to fit the role of
teenage girl in the mid 2010s,who can also sing.
So I went to the factory thatgenerates those kids.

(51:42):
I looked at Disney Channel OKsure, and I actually already had
this character, this actress,in mind, because I've seen her
in a few other things.
One of the first things I eversaw her in was she played a
small role in Agents of SHIELD,but she is also known for her
roles in live and maddie ondisney channel and the
descendants movie, which I thinkis about the children of the

(52:04):
disney villains on disneychannel.

Nick (52:05):
Yeah, I think that's right .
I've never actually watched it,but yeah, I think I think
you're on point but uh, theactress I'm going with is dove
cameron oh okay, yeah, I'venever actually seen anything
she's been in but but I'm veryaware of her.
I'm just like, yeah, I know whothat is.

Terran (52:21):
I've seen her on red carpets all the time.
Yeah, I think.
More recently she's been in acomedy about Broadway called
Schmigadoon with, I think, yeah,key from Key Peele.
But she's also been doing a lotof comedy work work.
She's been doing a lot of dramawork alongside of it.
I think she has the actingchops to pull off, you know
teenage girl, especially whenshe was portraying one in disney

(52:44):
channel, uh, stuff, uh.
But she also has a singingvoice that I think if they still
wanted to have that big musicnumber, I think she could step
up to the plate and still dothat gotcha okay, yeah, all
right, cool.

Nick (52:54):
yeah, she definitely has the look that that can agree
with you upon for sure.
I can't speak on her actingability or anything, but the
looks.
Definitely there, a hundredpercent.
You talking about that, Ithought I almost thought you
were going to pick a girl of of2024, sabrina Carpenter, and
that made me sit there and go.
Oh wait, do I need to change myanswer?

Terran (53:13):
So I thought about Sabrina.
I think she would just be alittle too young for the role.

Nick (53:17):
That's as you were talking .
It's like, do I need to changemy answer?
But I was looking and she'sstill in girl meets world right
now.
So like, I think later, likethe late 20s or late 2010s, she
could be up for a conversation,uh, but I think right now, yeah,
she's still a little bit oflike a tweenager versus teenager
.
Yeah, but I went in the samevein and I was trying to find.
You know, I was looking atactresses and then I found

(53:39):
somebody that you could say iscontroversial not really
controversial, just like thiskind of leans into her
personality or like her stagepersona, I guess you could say.
But I'm giving you arianagrande oh okay what people have
to remember.
You know this right at thispoint, she has just finished
salmon cat.
Before that she was invictorious the tv show, uh, and.

(54:00):
And then at this point she'sdoing her music, getting getting
kick-started with songs likebang bang with jesse j and nikki
minaj.
Santa, tell me the christmassong that gets stuck on every uh
playlist I see now and then, uh, love me harder with the
weekend, but.
And she does have appearance onScream Queens the TV show, yeah
, but so bad about that.

(54:20):
Yeah, it's one of those thingsthat you have to remember.
She can act, she's pretty goodat it, and I think that she can
definitely lead into that wholeoverdramatic like oh my gosh,
the world's going to end becausethis boy doesn't love me, kind
of thing.
And you know, you gave her thewhite hair and the ponytail kind
of vibes which she already kindof has claimed, and I just
think she's kind of going tonail it, especially like in a

(54:41):
comedy sense, like I thinkshe'll, she'll get, she'll get
the, the note you know.

Terran (54:46):
Oh, yeah, I think both of our options, like like so
many of our previous picks, theydefinitely fit the role in
different ways, but both of themfitted well yeah for sure, for
sure.

Nick (54:57):
Yeah, I like both of those picks for sure.
All right, we're at the lasttwo here.
We're doing good on time.
Let's talk about Mrs GeorgeJetson, jane Jetson herself
voiced by Penny Singleton.
Most people will know PennySingleton you probably won't
actually, to be honest, butolder people may know Penny
Singleton, sorry to call you out.
During her six decade career onstage, screen and radio, she

(55:20):
was known other than this role.
She appeared as the comic stripheroine Blondie Bumstead in a
series of 28 motion picturesfrom 38 to 1950.
And then the popular Blondieradio program from 1939 to 1950.
So one of those classic voiceactresses of the time and
actresses from yesteryear.
But Jane, she's often the levelheaded of the two parents and

(55:43):
she her.
The joke is, yes, she's playingand they're playing into the
whole, like in the openingsequence when they were naming
off everybody.
She takes George's wallet,cause she's going to go shopping
and stuff.
She.
She's a.
She's a modern woman, taryn.
She's a modern woman, taryn,and she spends her time just
enjoying the good things in life.

Terran (55:58):
Did you watch any episodes of Jetsons getting
ready for this?
Because I saw a big characterdifference between TV episode
Jane and movie Jane.
Yeah, dive into that thenplease.
Well, like with the movie, Janeis very much like the moral
center of the family.
She's the one that tells Georgelike hey, your new job is

(56:19):
murdering small animalsunintentionally, but now that
you know you now have to chooseto do it like to go against that
or otherwise you'll beintentionally murdering small
animals.
Um, in the tv show, though,like there's multiple episodes
where she's kind of played asthis, like airheaded, like not
really connected into anything,like there's I saw one episode
where she's trying to get herdriver's license, and it's like
just basic things of like hey,don't remove literal like

(56:43):
buttons and levers from the dashas you're driving yeah, I think
that's very much.

Nick (56:49):
You're seeing the times shifting, with jane jetson for
sure where.
Because, like now, you have abunch of people that complain
that tv dads, cartoon cartoon TVdads are all idiots.
And it's like, well, the coinwas flipped about 30 or 50 years
before this, where the wife wasthe airhead, and now Homer
Simpson, peter Griffin, bob'sBurgers they're all the more
buffoons of the family and themoms become the voice of reason

(57:13):
and it's that thing.
Both sides are correct.
And it's like, well, they don't.
They don't like it Cause I,they're making me seem like an
idiot.
It's like, yes, you've bothbeen the idiot, congrats, we're
now.
We're on the level table.
Hopefully now we can moveforward.

Terran (57:25):
Yeah, and in all fairness, george isn family is
maybe elroy again that's he'susually, if I remember quickly.

Nick (57:37):
It's always like george about just do something done and
arrow is like well, dad, areyou sure you should do that?
He's like george elroy, I gotit, don't worry, I got it.
And then, and then proceeds tomake a fool of himself.

Terran (57:45):
Yeah, so, uh, with jane, I wanted someone to kind of
like split the differencebetween the two.
I needed someone who was goingto uh be able to do some of the
more comedic elements of likeearly jane, while still being
able to have like the heart aswell.
Um, and I also like, uh, Iwanted to go with someone who
could just kind of fit that moldof like maybe you know, in the
future you you're able to be,maybe a little bit like you, you

(58:07):
look younger because of futuretech and future beauty product.
Yeah, so I went with islafisher.

Nick (58:13):
Oh, that's fun.
I like that, that's fun.
Yeah, I like that, that's fun.

Terran (58:16):
Yeah, Cause like she, you know she can do comedy cause
she was in like weddingcrashers and um, like she's been
in like the now you see memovie and it's poorly named
sequel, Um, but she's also playsshe plays a mom in a godmother,
which was like a Disney plus,um, uh, like the mom, like she
plays as a single mom, so I knowshe can carry that like that
heart of a character sure, sure.

Nick (58:39):
No, I love isla fisher.
She's always great and likewatching her and I think the
first thing I saw her in waswedding crashers.
But then you get to see her andother stuff and you're kind of
surprised like she voices one ofthe characters in rango and I
was like, oh, that was her,that's great, that's actually
fun.
So she, she's one of those.
I think when we first saw herit was like, oh, she plays this
ditzy character, she should this.
And then you get to see likeher range really open up in the

(59:01):
more role she does.

Terran (59:02):
From that point on and not to mention she plays mary
jane and scooby-doo oh, that'sright.

Nick (59:07):
That's right.
She was the shaggy's loveinterest in the original movie,
that's right.
But you know, that's the thingI've noticed on tiktok and stuff
is everybody's pointing outthat Shaggy's the only one
that's like dating outside ofthe group Most of the time.
Velma tries in the sequel andthen Shaggy's just like hot girl
here, hot girl there, hot girlthere.
I don't know what that is, butthat's just something that

(59:29):
everybody's noticed.
Everyone needs to be a Shaggy,I guess so Well.
So I picked one of my favoriteactresses to the drop here, but
when I thought about a liveaction Jetsons movie, she's
always the name that's come upfor me it's Carla Gugino.
Okay, yeah, most people willknow her from.
She was the mom in Spy Kids.
She's been in Watchmen themovie.
Recently she was in Fall of theHouse of Usher, which was a

(59:52):
great series and really got toshow her range.
She's one of those actressesCorey and them will make fun of
me because I talk about her toomuch but she really should be a
bigger star than she is.
Her range is outstanding.
She's got old Hollywood looksto her in terms of her looks
stunning.
But I think she could just nailnot just the look of Jane
Jetson, but also the vibes aswell, and I think they're still

(01:00:12):
fun to be played with.
You talked fun to be playedwith.
Like you talked about those twokind of different versions of
her.
I think you can still make hera little bit whimsical, a little
bit like unaware of hersurroundings to an extent, but
still like the heart and the youknow, the compass of the family
for sure.
Absolutely, I think both can betrue and you could just make
for a very fun character to playthat still has those dramatic
moments like george.
We got to get this togetheryeah, yeah.

Terran (01:00:34):
Like when you have that, that, uh, that come to your
reasons, come to your senses.
Moment in the end of the film,like you need someone to carry
that heart but still have funwith the other more comedic
elements of living in thepost-modern future.

Nick (01:00:46):
Yeah and I think you could also play off of the fact that
maybe jane and george are both abit ditzy in a sense, or
accidental, and that's kind ofhow they got together or how
like they they relate to eachother a lot.
It's like oh, we're both alittle bit of a little bit of
nutcases here, and so I thinkthat that can be an endearing
trait that bonds the twocharacters absolutely so I have,

(01:01:07):
if I was playing by the rules,the normal rules of our quantum
recast show.
Uh, she's doing San Andreas withthe rock around this time.
The big big movie, and then theBrink tv show, which is not
brink, the disney channeloriginal movie, sadly.
Oh, but I have no problem withher missing out on either of
those.

Terran (01:01:23):
So yeah, if we were playing that isla fisher was
only in uh what I?
The only thing I could see herin in 2015 was visions, which,
okay.
To be honest, I don't even knowwhat that movie's about.

Nick (01:01:34):
Interesting, okay well, yeah, so we're not doing any
damage if we had to take her outof something.
Yeah, if you're not familiarwith the rest of our show,
usually if someone is in a moviethe year we go to, they lose
those movies if we cast them.
But here we're relaxed, we'rerelaxed, we're just having fun,
we're just throwing out somecasts that we enjoy yeah, we're
not yelling at each other andrisking our friendship, so I
like this version of it's reallynice and chill.

(01:01:55):
You know, all right, taron,we're at the top of the list.
Mr george jetson, the thebreadwinner, I guess, of the
family, even though he just goesand pushes a button.
But I guess that's all youcould do in the future, when
everything's automated, andmostly robotics also.

Terran (01:02:07):
I, when I was doing my research for this, I did find do
you know how many hours a weekgeorge jetson works?
How many hours does he work?
Nine what yeah, apparently inthe future, like it was
predicted that when we were, uh,at that point of technological
advancement, you would work ninehours a week and still get full
pay okay, sign me up.

Nick (01:02:30):
Number one, I know right.
Uh, number two why aren't wethere yet?
Why?
Why do we keep?
Why do we keep delaying this?
The robots are already takingover.
Ai is already a thing.
Why are?
Why are we keep?
Why do we keep delaying this?
The robots are already takingover.
Ai is already a thing.
Why are why are we waiting onthis?
Just let it happen.
I'll push a button and get paid.

Terran (01:02:44):
Yeah, that's how we had time for all of the hijinks he
got into with the show, exactly.

Nick (01:02:55):
And what's funny is one man of the people.
He wakes up the movies like Iwas dreaming about sleeping and
I'm like he's same For sure.
So George is played by a GeorgeGeorge O'Hanlon.
He was best known for playing acharacter named Joe McDokes in
Warner Brothers live action.
Joe McDokes shorts from 1942 to56.
He's also gets a fun cameo inthe original Rocky movie as a TV

(01:03:19):
commentator, which is kind offun.
So I have to give it's kind ofa downer Taron, but this is his
last voice acting role.
Yeah, he suffered a stroke.
So when he made the series andmovie, I guess in the 80s I
don't know if it was true in the60s, but he practically he's
basically blind and had verylittle short term memory and he
had to have each line spoken tohim so he could repeat it back,

(01:03:41):
which is crazy.

Terran (01:03:42):
Yeah, like that level of dedication though, sure.

Nick (01:03:45):
Yeah, and then the fact that he does it so well even
despite all of that.
So what's even wilder is thathe literally died making this
movie, taron.
Yeah, he, a few moments beforehis death, george O'Hanlon had
recorded all his dialogue forGeorge Jetson.
According to voice directorAndre Romano, he had suffered a
second stroke, found itdifficult to read and hear and
in the end he died in therecording studio doing what he

(01:04:07):
loved.
So I'm like, if that's the case, if that's like his dying wish
is like just let me, let mefinish this out.
It's what I'm holding on to do,by all means.
I just hope that they're not,like you know, weakened at
bernie's, it almost and justbeing like come on, just come on
, george, do the thing, do thething.
You know, because we've heardhorror stories of old hollywood
and stuff.
I'm just hoping that, yes, hegot to kind of do what he loved

(01:04:28):
doing and it was just kind oflike his last wish.
And they're like absolutely,we'll make you comfortable.

Terran (01:04:32):
Whatever you need to happen happens, yeah I mean,
it's definitely one of thosestories that, like you, you
don't hear that story and havelike a sense of like, oh well,
that's good that you know he gotto, you know, do this last
thing and then immediately, youknow couldn't even enjoy it, but
it's, it's definitely like asign of just like the level of
dedication of, especially thatgeneration of hollywood.
It's, I mean, you hear that Iwas uh not to go off on a
tangent but um, I just got donelast year, like late last last

(01:04:55):
year, reading Patrick Stewart'sautobiography and he very much
said, like I want to do this, Iwant to act until I literally
die, like I like.
It's that dream of like dyingon stage, of like you you go,
you do, you pour yourself intothis artwork and then, like you
don't want to have a period ofyour life where you don't, where
you aren't doing that anymore,yeah, yeah.

Nick (01:05:16):
And if that's the case, yeah, great, by all means.
And that's what I hope reallywas the case here for sure.
Because again you read that andyou're like wow, and you think
about the dedication he had tothis particular role, especially
given all the things he had togo through to actually perform
it.
And he does it so well.
It's hard to imagine anybodyelse doing the voice for the
character hard to imagineanybody else doing the voice for

(01:05:38):
the character.

Terran (01:05:38):
You know which is what we're about to do now.
Which?

Nick (01:05:39):
is what we're about to do.
It's fine, it's fine.
Rest in peace, george rohanlonum.
But, taryn, who do you have inmind for george jetson?

Terran (01:05:46):
so, like this one was a bit difficult.
I actually had a few differentnames uh right around in my head
because, like, like you, likewe've said, he's a goofy dad,
but like you know, he means well, you know that, like, when the
chips are down, he is going todo the right thing, yeah, um,
and I went with a guy that isnow kind of seen in this like
hyper, like almost like morallyright figure with a current role

(01:06:06):
than what he's doing.
Uh, but I went with jasonsudeckis, uh, who is, uh most
most commonly now known for hisuh named role of ted lasso yes,
yes, mr ted lasso himself.

Nick (01:06:18):
He's an snl alum known for many, many comedies and things
of that nature.
What is he doing at this pointin time?

Terran (01:06:27):
in 2015.
He's in like masterminds tumbledown like he wasn't in like a
whole, whole lot like sleepingwith other people was also
another 2015 role.
In the year before, he was inhorrible bosses too.

Nick (01:06:38):
Got it okay okay oh good, no, I was just wondering where
horrible bosses landed, becauseI was like I think it's this
time period yeah, but the thingthat actually like made him come
to mind for me was his role inwe're the millers, which was
2013 yeah, okay, he, because hehe has like some dad kind of
like how carlo gugino has momenergy, and it's something

(01:06:59):
that's hard to like describe,but you know it's there.
Jason can lean in, he can, hehas the ability to tap into.
It's almost like you just put apolo on him and he's got dad
energy yes, that's I don't knowwhat it is, but the polo like he
.
He gets clean cut.
You're suddenly like, yeah, Icould believe that that's just
the guy from down the streetthat has kids yeah, so yeah,
like I wanted him to like, justkind of like bring a similar

(01:07:20):
energy.

Terran (01:07:20):
Obviously probably not as much cursing as what was in
with the millers, yes, but uh,just that guy that like you know
he knows what his job is, helike his job is not his passion,
but like he knows, like, hey,like when I need to bring that
heart into this family unit, Ican okay, yeah, I like that.

Nick (01:07:37):
It's it's more, it's a little more subtle than the
people I have in mind, but I, Ido like that idea because he, he
can't.
He can have fun with roles andbe a little silly when he wants
to, for sure.
I had two people in mind aswell, and I even up to the last
minute, here I was going backand forth about okay, do I want
them?
Do I want them?
Who needs a win?
More?
Maybe, but, but I'm going to go.

(01:07:58):
The first person I had in mindwas Jim Carrey, and I thought he
could be great.
He could nail it.
He's a living cartoon.
He's one of the few humans thatcan say that I am a living
cartoon.
Oh yeah, absolutely.
But he's got a lot of goodstuff going on.
He makes cameos in Anchorman 2.
He has goes in uh, incrementtwo.
He has kick-ass two he's thebest part of kick-ass two, mind
you and then he's doing someabsolutely.

(01:08:19):
And then he's doing someinteresting dramatic work with
things like dark crimes and it's, and then he kind of takes a
break from 2016 on until we getto see him again sonic the
hedgehog as dr robotnik.
So I'm gonna let him have histime and his piece because I
know he's going through somestuff right now.
I'm gonna give steve carell therole.
Um.
Most people know him as michaelscott uh, from the office, 40
year old, virgin anchorman.

(01:08:39):
Right now he's.
He's just as despicable me tooanchorman too.
He's.
Does a dramatic turn infoxcatcher in the big short, but
I just think he also just canplay like a, a goofy dad, really
well, like we saw in crazystupid love.
I just think he can also nailthis role.
I can.
It's also oftentimes when we'recasting these things.
Sometimes it's like I just needto hear a line being read in my

(01:09:01):
mind by that character and himsaying jane, stop this crazy
thing.
I immediately hear steve carellscreaming it and I'm like I can
see that.
Yeah, I'm, I'm already laughingat the concept of it, but yeah,
I just think.
I think he can play thebumbling dad who, who's, who
means well who sometimes gets alittle too big for his britches
and gets brought back down bythe technology around him, or
astro careening into him whenhe's going to work, or just his

(01:09:24):
kids being like, uh, dad, that'skind of not a good idea trust
me.
I know what I'm doing I, I gotthis, I got this, I got this.
But yeah, I like both.
I think both like there'sstrengths to both sides of them.
I think I.
I think that Steve's going tobe a little more cartoonish, but
I think that initially, I thinkJason Sudeikis, I'm like he's
not silly enough, but I'm like,no, jason Sudeikis can be silly.
Oh yeah, he can find hismoments for sure.

(01:09:46):
Yeah, I like that.
I like both these guys.

Terran (01:09:51):
I think they're both pretty fun to where we can see
both of them happen.

Nick (01:09:54):
Exactly.
Yes, we need to let the futuretechnology, ai, just create
these movies for us.
No, no, no, no, no, no.

Terran (01:10:01):
No, no, don't you put that energy out here either,
nick.

Nick (01:10:03):
Hey, as long as someone pushes a button, it's okay.
Oh gosh.

Terran (01:10:07):
Okay, let's not George Jetson, the Jetsons.

Nick (01:10:10):
Somebody has to push the record button on the camera.
All right, folks, folks, thatwas the jetsons in a 2010,
mid-2010s uh idea of what a liveaction might be.
Uh, let us know what youthought about the cast, uh,
between me and taryn, which oneyou like, maybe better?
Maybe you thought both of themare trash.
Let us know, tell us, give us,leave us a review.
Uh, four stars or five,whatever.
However, they do it on thestreaming service of your choice

(01:10:33):
, or you can go onto our socialmedias, drop it down in the dms
and just yell at us there orjust say what you liked, say
what you didn't like.
We have several people thatwill like message us and be like
okay, here's my cast list,here's who I have in mind.
I'm like that's great, I lovethat, because there'll be things
I just didn't think of and I'llbe like, oh, that's awesome
like we're just two guys, likethere are plenty of other people
who could see things.

Terran (01:10:51):
We don't for sure.

Nick (01:10:52):
Just I love when someone will bring up something like why
didn't I think of that personwhether it's on the show or just
a fan or listener going likewhat about them?
I'm like you're right, that wasthe correct choice, and I now
regret everything I've done.
But yeah, I think that's greatand I hope that we do get a
Jetsons movie of some form inthe near future, because I would
just love to see a live actionversion of it.

Terran (01:11:18):
Well, I mean, didn't george jetson technically just
get born, like by our?

Nick (01:11:20):
timeline standards.
Did he really?

Terran (01:11:20):
yeah, I think last year, like they were like oh yeah,
this is the year george jetsonis born george jetson birthday
july 31st 2022, allegedly okay,so yeah, two years ago two, two
years off.

Nick (01:11:31):
So, george jetson, happy, uh, almost two years of age, uh,
we'll be seeing you in the near, in the not soso-distant future
.
Hope that you make a movie ofyour life, or we can just at
least make a reality.
I don't want a reality.
Jetsons TV show.

Terran (01:11:44):
I want a movie.

Nick (01:11:46):
Give me a movie.

Terran (01:11:47):
Keeping up with the Jetsons would not be something.

Nick (01:11:49):
I would want to see no, no , no, no, no, no, no, no.
That's the dark timeline, Taren.
That's when it's like, yes,let's have the post-apocalyptic
future happen.
I'm ready now.
Well, that's our cast.
We hope you enjoyed the show.
We're going to hope to do moreof these quantum reanimation
episodes in the future.
