Unknown (00:00):
The worst is the pun thing, because I hate, I fucking

(00:03):
hate puns.
Oh, I'm sorry. Did I break yourconcentration
somewhere between science andsuperstition,
such sights to show you.

(00:31):
Strange eons. Welcome to strangeeons. Radio that is Eric over
there. Hello, that is Vanessaover there. Hello, and I am
Kelly.
Let me entertain the masses bydouble checking our camera. Oh,
oh, perhaps we're recording.
Okay, if you heard a coupleepisodes ago, we were testing

(00:52):
new microphones and and itdidn't really work out very
well, yeah, but that is becausewe did not do a full test of the
microphones beforehand. We arerecording again with those
microphones and our fullmicrophones, and we'll see which
ones sound better. That's whatwe are up to. Because otherwise
I would, I would really love toget all this stuff off of the

(01:13):
table and make my house look alittle more like a house than
recordingstudio. I mean, how cool is it
though? Like people come in andgo, Wow, what is this? Oh, you
have a podcast.
More than do I have to listento.

(01:35):
What really happens is, oh, whatis this? Where are we eating?
It's like, oh, we can't eatthere. That's my podcast table.
I mean, the idea that you eat ata table, come on. What year is
it? It's true. This is true. Howare you supposed to watch TV if
you're not eating watching TV?
Vanessa, I just want to publiclythank you for the amazing Jaws

(01:59):
popcorn bucket I got on mybirthday. Wow. That is insane.
I don't know how you're supposedto put your hand in it. Oh, to
eat the popcorn out of scrapingit, but that's okay.
No, tonight. Oh, yes,please, please.
Tongs, chopsticks,you guys. I saw some pretty dang

(02:19):
good stuff. Yeah, yeah. And Iwant to be cool. One of them, I
think is going to be a shock,because I know Vanessa has seen
it, and I don't think sheprobably liked it, but I saw
Megan 2.00 yes. And I fuckingloved it. Oh, I was just like, i
i the end credits roll that Iwas like, the fuck, did I just

(02:42):
watch? This was the most bonkersmovie I have ever seen.
It is by no means a horrormovie.
That was big surprise to me too.
I was like, Oh, this is not ahorror film.
It's more like cool Terminatortwo and the Chucky series or

(03:04):
something like that, yeah, I butI fucking loved it. I loved the
humor in it. I loved the massiveleft turn coming off of the
first movie. And I reallyenjoyed absolutely everything
about it. I thought it was 10times better than the original,
but it needed the original toexist. It's so true. I

(03:28):
like Terminator to Terminatortwo. Well, I still like
terminal. Oh, well, Terminatoris great, absolutely. But
Terminator two, butVanessa, I am curious. I know
you saw it. You can't have likedthis. I did like it. Super fun.
Yeah, it was really fun. Ilaughed very hard a number of
times. It was, yeah, it was, itwas really neat. I don't know
like I was. I just kept waitingfor it to be a horror film, and

(03:49):
then it just was not. It justrefused. It was like science
fiction thriller at best. Well,I'm still gonna watch it and use
it for my 100 Days of horror. Ohyeah, that's totally fine.
There's a sequence where there'skind of a bonding sequence
between her and her Creator, andthen she starts singing to her.
And I was like, What am Iwatching? Unfortunately, it was

(04:17):
such a bomb that Jason Blum cameout publicly and said, We made a
huge mistake with this. Wethought we were trying something
different and that the audiencewould go along with us, and they
are revamping their whole ideaof approaching sequels to hit
movies. They're just like, we'regoing back to the very small
budgeted films again. We took ahuge risk and got slapped for

(04:41):
it. They Halloween three, did?
I mean, I Well, yeah, because Iloved Halloween three. Yeah,
exactly.
I feel like maybe they just madea mistake in making a Megan too.
Like, I just feel like no one,even if it was the exact same
movie again, like, I don't knowhow many people are going to
come back out for. Yeah, they, Imean, they really liked the

(05:01):
first one, but, like, I don'tknow, like, it hit, they did a
good job. Yeah, how many times?
How many people went to the nextpurge film? I'm sure they were
all making their budgets,but that's the difference. This
was, like, a $20 million movieor something, where the first
one was 10 million. And so they,they just kind of thought. I
mean, well, we made it 100million off the first one, we'll

(05:22):
make a billion dollars. Watchout Superman. Oh my gosh.
Anyhow, Megan 2.0 is streamingnow. Well,
speaking of funny movies, I sawNaked Gun, whatever the newest
Naked Gun movie is with LiamNeeson,

(05:43):
yeah, I am stunned that thelimited time you have to go to
see movies in the theater, andyou go a lot more than most
people.
I go about once a week. Yeah,well, I mean, that is like our
date night is that we get oneevening a week to do something,
and so a 10 by the time we putour daughter down, it is fucking
late, so there's really only onething to do at that point, so we

(06:07):
see movies, but I don't knowthat week was very quiet. It was
between that and together, and Ijust wasn't really feeling
seeing together. It just wasn'tappealing to me. So I was like,
I'd seen a couple of ads forNaked Gun. And I thought it
looked funny from the ads. Ithought some of the ads were
funny. Ish, no, it was. It waslike a couple of gags in there

(06:31):
that I thought were good, butfor the most part, there was
like a good two thirds of thefilm where I was like, oh,
okay, did you enjoy the originalmovies then they could get in
film. Imean, I enjoy it. I wouldn't say
I laughed a lot, but I like, Imean, like, you know, Leslie
Nelson is very funny, and it's adifferent era. It has a

(06:51):
different style of humor. It'snot like, my favorite type of
thing, but like, they do itreally well. And I think because
it's an older movie. There's alot more forgiveness I give it,
but some of the gags in thiswere they just were not landing,
or they were just, I don't know.
They were making some weirdswings in this, in this film,

(07:14):
and the most weird ones were themost funny, but the middling
weird ones were just like, okay,Have either of you guys seen
this movie?
No, but I saw the trailer, and Iwas like, if this is the high
points of this film, it can't beany good. The scene where he

(07:35):
says, you know, take a chair andshe takes the chair. I was like,
That joke is conservatively 90years old, yeah, yeah. There's a
lot of that. I was like, Is thiswhat is going passing as funny?
Now, also, that's not even thejoke, take a chair. Who says,
Take a chair? You say, take aseat. Yeah? Right. So I was
like, none of this is feelinggood to me, so I'm very glad it

(07:58):
has a 89%people were loving it? Yeah, it
has a lot of positive reviewsfrom different different
reviewers. Are just digging it.
I know it's hit or miss. Howmany people are in a theater?
But did you have much of acrowd?
No, it was pretty empty. It'shard to say we were, yeah, we
were kind of hoping it would bea busier but just couldn't make

(08:18):
it work. But my husband lovedit, great. So that was, I was
like, Okay, well, he, he had agreat time, but he grew up on,
like, a lot of the word, like,National Lampoon stuff, and
Monty Python, the not moneyPython, but more like that. You
know, Americans, 90s stuff,yeah? Adam Sandler,
I mean, I think that first NakedGun movie is comedy brilliance.

(08:42):
Yeah, it's pretty good. So, andI also know that they had
interviewed, I think I'm notsure which Zucker brother is
still alive, but he said, Youknow, I was as surprised as
anybody to see a new movie comeout. They didn't say a word to
me.
Wow. Well, it's the LonelyIsland guys, which, again, like,
I really like their humor, butno, the name probably not.

(09:13):
When you listen to this, itwon't be that long. Anyways,
speaking of how movies keepgoing and going and going. I've
started the 100 Days and asalways, I started off Days of
Halloween. Hello, 100 days ofhorror. Halloween. Can't just
say the 100 Days. Nobody knowswhat the fuck that is. Listeners

(09:33):
do anybody on our Facebook pagedoes damn assholes posting every
goddamn day leave us alone. Ialways start off with the
franchise, which I won't talkabout at this point, but then I
figured I'll fill in the friendsome of the franchises I haven't
seen. So I hadn'tseen that the point that you
can't have seen any of thesemovies, right,

(09:56):
right? That's the idea. Yeah,I've, I had seen one. Three, a
final destination. So I watchedthe last three. Wow. Four's a
fucking mess. Five was fun. Youknow what? Bloodlines it
deserved the praise it got.
Yeah, after the bunch, prettymuch. It's really smart take on
the idea of the follow up ofdeath, just being a dick on it

(10:18):
great level with, you know, thewonderful emotional thing with
Tony Todd giving his speech. Ithought it'd be a little more
from what I heard, but it stillwas really good. And the the
execution was nice, because theone thing that gets really
boring when you watch a fewfinal destination movies in a

(10:40):
row is, I think I know what'sgoing on. This is what's
happening. Here's how. Maybe weshould figure out how to get rid
of it. Maybe we should fight it.
And this one had that, butreally fast, she went, talked to
the person involved and all thatstuff, and got the lowdown of
everything that was going on,instead of it being like more

(11:01):
than half the movie, which it ison just about every other final
destination film. Yeah. And oneof the annoying things of you
know, I'm not the biggest haterof spoilers anymore. Used to
really bug me, but not so muchanymore, because it's just the
world we live in. But all thegifts people posted of the
deaths on this were a littleannoying. Oh, I didn't see

(11:23):
those. I'd seen like, three orfour of them. Oh, no.
All right. Okay, that's like,the whole point. I was mad at,
like, the trailers, because Iwas like, that was, like, a full
scene. Yeah, it was a fullscene. I was like, Are you
fucking kidding me? They'relike, I'm then gonna have to sit
through it again. But luckily,there's so many that, like, it
was fine. It was totally fineseeing them,

(11:45):
especially the opening. Like,Jesus, way brutal. Yeah. I mean,
like, four really hurt becausethey lean so hard, and the CG
deaths and the blood, it justlooked terrible. Yeah. And now
they've gotten good enough tokind of combine the two. You
know, this one had some becauseit had to, yeah. But overall,

(12:07):
yeah, really fun. I liked it.
And the I'm they're working on anew one already. Of course, I
did see that seven is in theworks. Oh, sure, you know, like
I love and it will continue andit will never stop. Because it
hasn't stopped for decades. Ofpeople going, why don't you just
make real original movies?
Because all of his dumb horrorfilms, go see all of the sequels

(12:31):
I've got to see all theHalloween movies. Yeah. I mean,
if you stop going, they'll stopbeing made, and, you know,
you'll get sinners and weaponsand stuff like that coming out
that, yeah, is new and original.
But hey, what you gonna do? Istill love them.
Yeah, just make sure you go tothe other ones too. There you
go. That's, that's the solve. Gosee those.
The irony is not lost on me, ona franchise called Final

(12:55):
anything in the seven episodesso far, it's like, you know, are
there a couple of lone wolves.
Well, youknow, they don't have to worry
about, like, scream trying tofigure out who they can keep
alive and the next trailers andstuff. I
just feel like death fucks aplot

(13:16):
doesn't do a good job. That's avery basic thing. It's got to do
percentage wise. Billions ofpeople on the planet
missing out on what in the lasthow many years has death just
slip? I mean, it's getting lazy.
Getting Real lazy. Theseteenagers specifically, you
gotta be on top of it,right? That's a good point.

(13:40):
Um, I have been watching on MGMthe institute. Don't know this.
This is based on a Stephen Kingbook that came out maybe five or
six years ago, and so far, it'spretty true to the book. It's
really good. It's about a kidwho goes to bed one night and

(14:01):
wakes up in his room, andsomething seems just a little
off, so he goes and opens thewindow, and there's a wall
there, and he opens his bedroomdoor, and he is now in the
institute. They have drugged himand recreated his room, and he
is there with a number of otherchildren who have various

(14:21):
powers, telekinesis, stuff likethat, and they are being used to
do something we're not sureexactly what yet. By the time
this airs, show will probably beover, but there's also a couple
of characters in a nearby townwho are kind of starting to

(14:41):
think that something is going onat the Institute, and they want
to find out what it is, andhopefully they will do it before
this kid and his friends are allkilled because they go from one
area of the institute where theyare tested on and they are
bombarded with these varioustests to. Kind of see how good
their telepathy is, or whatever,and then they're put into the

(15:06):
back half. And we're just nowrealizing that the back half,
all these kids are used tocreate, like a plane crash that
might be holding a person ofimportance, or something like
that, and so but all of thisstuff takes toll on the kids,
and they are killed and crematedafter bleed from their nose.
They bleed from their nose,their ears, their eyes, all that

(15:27):
stuff, and eventually they theirbrains just turn to mush and
they are killed. They're beingtold, of course, that once they
finish this, they will bebrought back to their parents,
but nobody has been so it's it'sreally good. The thing I thought
was really interesting was thethe kid in it, in the book, I
mean, Stephen King, no, no, fearof hurting children, right? He's

(15:49):
just like, hope you guys don'tlike kids in the book. These
kids are much younger than theyare in the series, but the main
kid in the series is is supposedto be, I think, 14, and he looks
like it, but he's really 18 or19 in real life. And then I just
found out he is Martin Freemanson, the actor from The Hobbit

(16:11):
and The Sherlock Holmes moviesand stuff like that. I was like,
wow. Okay, and this kid isreally, really good.
Wow. That's awesome, is it? Imean, you know, in the modern
world of watching films, I said,fall into the Stranger Things
stuff muchon, on the darker stuff that
Stranger Things touches on. Ifeel like Stranger Things is
really a nostalgia. Oh, yeah,definitely. And that's what's

(16:33):
most important to them. This isnot that. This is children who
are in a in a very severesituation, though it's called
the Institute and it is on MGM.
Plus,that's awesome. I do remember
seeing a trailer for it andthinking that looked pretty
cool, so I'm going to have tohunt that down. Oh, good. My MGM
subscription will have a purposeagain.

(16:58):
Thanks, Kelly.
So I went and saw somethingprobably both of you seen, which
is fantastic. Four, first steps,fantastic. Four, well,
I don't know if you remember thebeginning. I have had no days to
myself for about three or fourweeks. So I've seen no films. I

(17:21):
have seen nothing other than,like, the 100 day stuff that
I've been setting aside. Sowe've had relatives in town one
weekend, relatives in town, thenthe next weekend, and oh no, so
no, I have not seenit well. When you get a chance,
yeah, I will. I really liked ita lot. I think it's one of the
stronger Marvel movies, becauseit is really committed to the
world, but it wants to be setin. And I think they do a good

(17:46):
job of creating these charactersthat can be pretty tough, like
sea storm specifically, can bereally irritating or really
blank, yeah, and they made avery wise casting decision.
Probably the least strong for mewas Pedro.

(18:10):
And shocking, but I think Ithink
it's a hard character, becauseyou need somebody who is lost in
his own thoughts. But Pedro hassuch a soft, warm presence,
naturally that he's fightingagainst that the whole time to
come across as cold. And so itjust, it makes it almost like

(18:30):
neutral, like it just sort ofcancels out his his warmness,
plus overly cold, plus it justdoesn't quite jive.
I haven't seen it, and that'sinteresting say, because I
thought my thinking watching thetrailer was, Oh, they're going
to re they're going to adjustReed Richards a little bit to
make him a softer family man bycasting who they cast, right?

(18:55):
But sounds like theyshould have not what they did.
Yeah. I mean, I think they wouldhave been smart to who is the
guy who played him in Wanda,like whatever, the Doctor
Strange, like multiverse ofmadness they had temporarily
cast like a different guy ashim, as
Reed Richards Yeah, I don'tremember. Oh, was it John

(19:16):
Krasinski,yeah, John Krasin. I think he
even would have been a slightlystronger choice. But even you
know somebody like Benedictcumberbatchers, you know
something along the lines ofsomebody who just naturally
looks like a nerdy scientist,who has a colder presence, who
then would have to work towardsbeing a little bit warmer would
be better. But I think thatPedro was acting, and I think he

(19:38):
did the best he could with it. Idon't think, like, I don't think
it's his fault. I think it'sjust kind of weird casting. But
on the other side, the guysthey've cast for Johnny, Storm,
Sue Storm and wasn't Ben, aregreat. Like, they are all, I
mean, they are incredible.

(20:00):
Especially, I loved Johnny,like, I thought he was just
super great, and he's fromStranger Things.
Yeah, I first of all, I waslike, I get the Pedro has a
mustache, but Reid does not havea mustache. And when everybody
else in the Marvel Universe hasthis look, you know, Iron Man.

(20:23):
Stephen Strange, dr, strange,all these guys with these little
thin mustaches, I'm like, Reeddoesn't have a mustache. Pedro,
shave your mustache.
That would have been just fine.
I thought it was fuckinggorgeous. It is so beautiful.
Retro futurism is so coollooking. And I loved the little
nods that you see around thecity, like a robot walking a dog

(20:47):
and stuff like that, to realize,oh, because the Fantastic Four
do all of these great things,the world has all these great
things. Yeah. So I liked that.
And I thought Galactus wasreally cool. He was cool.
Jennifer Garner looked awesomeas a Silver Surfer, and actually
showing her kind of surf wasreally cool looking. I still
don't understand why the silverwe got a female Silver Surfer

(21:11):
instead of I feel like Marvel iskind of dialing in on if we just
kind of follow the comic books.
Everybody seems to be okay withit. So I don't know why they
did. I thoughtthey recently had a female
Silver Surfer in the comics,yeah,
but she's not the Herald. Imean, you know, she's for

(21:33):
whatever reason they went withthis. Also, Jennifer Garner's
got one of the most expressivefaces in the world, and so
throwing a CGI silver thing overher face and making her kind of
a blank person, like why dideven if we were gonna do a
woman, why would we do it tothis woman whose big deal is
that she looks great when she'sangry and when she's scared all

(21:56):
this stuff, this bizarre plot toteleport the earth that I
had just read a comic that hadseconds, yeah, I just read a
comic that had a similar umsetup in it for Fantastic Four
so I was like, Ah, I'm surethat's what they do all the
time. It's just what they do.
It's just what they do. It'sfine. I mean, it's kind of

(22:18):
similar to what I just read. SoI just forgave it instantly. But
yeah? Well, I thought it washead and shoulders over every
Marvel movie except maybeDeadpool Wolverine lately. But I
was shocked to realize that Iliked Superman better than
fantastic. Four seems to bethe way it's going. Yeah, all
over. Yeah. The my main thingfor, because when I was a kid,

(22:41):
look at one of my first comicbooks was fantastic for was and
I really liked and so they and Igrew out, you know, Chris
Claremont came around and said,Well, this is what everybody's
reading now, but so i It feltkind of more child ish, fun ish,
in a good way to me. And I thinkthis captured, at least in the

(23:01):
trailer, captured, finally, whatFantastic Four was kind of
supposed to be as just kind ofalong the lines with the
Superman. These are not thedark, brooding, no character. So
Marvel you've got plenty ofthem. The Fantastic Four is not
that so at least visually, itlooks like they captured that

(23:24):
they all very well. Reallycaptured the feeling that this
is a family. Oh, good. And,yeah, you know, they all love
each other very much. And Ithought Johnny was, you know,
he's in every movie. He's thehot head, right? And he's
impulsive, and he is in thistoo, but he's also really smart
in thisI loved that. I love that
everyone is smart. Everyone wentto space because they were very

(23:45):
smart, right? That's sogood an idea, as opposed to Ben
grim always being sort of aalumni,
yeah, no. He's like, Yeah, theylet him be really clever as
well. He'sgreat. And his whole thing is
always, you know, poor me, Ilook like a monster. And they
did one scene of this that wasliterally, literally just a

(24:06):
glance of him looking at aperson, but then seeing a
reflection of him in a windowand going, I'm not going to talk
to this person. And I was like,that's all we need. We get it.
He's really bummed abouthow he looks. Yeah, we don't
have to spend the whole movie onit right? And
otherwise he's fucking great.
He's so lovable, and the kidslove him and this and
everything, and he loves thekids, and there's all sorts of

(24:28):
really good stuff. And VanessaKirby, who I do not like, hated
her. And everything I've seenwas fantastic. Oh my god. She
was so good, and they gave herso much to
do. Yes, they gave. I mean,she's arguably the star of the
film,I would say so too. She's got
the biggest decisions to make,and then she fucking shows off

(24:51):
some power that you're like,Okay, good. We're finally
realizing that she's powered up.
Like. Yeah, the Phoenix almost,yeah, so powerful. So that was
cool to see. Yeah, reallyexcited to see where they go
next with this. Don't quite getnow the ending of thunderbolts,

(25:12):
where we see their spaceshipcoming into the different
earth. They must jump into themultiverse. Somehow. I thought
we were going to see that at theend of this, they suddenly got
sucked in or something. It'sgot to be like, the Doom thread
related, like, it's got to besomehow related to, you know, is
it Dr doom? Yeah, yeah. It's gotto be part of that. I'm
guessing. Come in, he's gonnacome in and be like, All right,

(25:34):
we gotta do this. Or I haveinformation, or I'm gonna chase
you, or I don't know, but Ithink he's gonna be the
instigator. But no, I agree. AndI will say, I mean, it's not
really a spoiler. There'spregnancy in this. They have a
very good childbirth scene. Iwas like, Yes, a little bit what
it feels like, a little bit itfeels, it feels about, yeah,

(25:56):
yeah. That's fair so. And shealso, at one point, I was like,
how is she gonna give birth towearing pants? And then, like,
you see the pants, like, kickedoff. You're like, Oh, cool.
Okay. Excellent, very,excellent. Thank you.
Unstable molecules, you can givebirth in unstable molecule

(26:20):
pants,sure, yes, I'm sure she'll just
see, see through it. That's whyhe doesn't stretch out of his
clothes. Incredible.
All right, so continuing on myfilling in stuff I haven't seen,
the Warren series of filmsI have not seen very many past

(26:41):
the main ones. So I was like,well, I'ma watch the nun. Watch
Annabelle. Oh, really theAnnabelle series has the first
one is fine. The second one, Ithink is a much better one where
they the Warrens get the dolland they start dealing with it.

(27:03):
Fine. Yeah, it's fine. None ofthe Annabelle movies are very
strong at all. I'm curious whatthe next conjuring film is,
because the last one The devilmade me do. It was not really
like the other conjuring films.
It was very strange they I thinkpart of what helped me a little

(27:29):
bit with the Annabelle films isthey are less here's haunt,
haunt, haunt. Now we're a gianthorror action movie, which is
how so many of these films end,yeah, which like watching the
none I knew is coming. So okay,I'm all right with this one. I'd
already seen the nun too, whichI'd forgotten, so I didn't re
watch that. So I just sayoverall, the conjuring films are

(27:52):
fine. It's really frustrating towatch the Warrens be good
looking, charismatic, fun peoplewho really give a shit about
other people. Oh,that is really hard. And every
time they're, like, based ontrue challenge, or like, the
Yeah, they really Harrow,heroize, they really build up
the Warrens. So unjustified.

(28:14):
It's, it's frustrating. Yeah, Ido
love the idea that this is basedon a true story. The devil made
me do it one where there's, wego to this underground lair
where this witch has createdthis table that cannot be turned
over and has all these thingsand she's influenced. It's like,
okay, all right, guys, maybe thefirst scene was based on a real
story. That stupid text onanymore. It's not been helpful

(28:35):
since probably the late 90s. Wecan
hear all the people out therethat love this stuff, yelling,
going, but that one guy that wastaking the doll around on tour
died mysteriously, yeah? So dida lot of other people that
weren't doing anything. A lot ofpeople died mysteriously in this
world, yeah. But, you know,yeah,

(28:56):
like, if you're gonna, if you'regonna believe weird stuff,
probably the Omen behind thescenes is the most upsetting.
There'ssome poltergeist has some weird
shit. Yeah, there's definitelythings out there, but like, it's
Jesus Christ, like, we all knowtheir frauds. It's fine. Yeah,
we can be okay with it justbeing bullshit. It's fine. Not
everything in the world has tobe 100% true

(29:18):
all the time based on the Warrenbooks, let's say that. Yeah,
exactly true. Sorry,Warren's account, I think they
call it based on the Warrenfiles. Do they Yeah? So this
next, the next conjuring film,which is the last? Is the last?
Do you think? Oh, Vera, I'm surehe'll get his underage assistant

(29:41):
that he then has the affair,right?
Oh yeah, they'll bring that in.
They'll fit right in with theHero Guy, couple they've
created.
Oh, so, um, so that wasAnnabelle,
kind of The Conjuring season,kind of The Conjuring, The
Conjuring. Universe.
I kind of wish you could, like,go to Halloween Horror Nights,

(30:04):
because they have, like, aexhibit. That's just, what is
that company? It's, I'mforgetting it now, is that Blum
house? Yeah, it's like, it'll belike several, it'll be like four
of the Blum house films, orwhatever you walk through it.
So, yeah, see, the thing is thatI think they've got some great
scares. Yeah, The Conjuring, thefirst one that clap on the side
of is just one of the great filmscares. And they the first

(30:27):
halves of almost all of them Ireally enjoy, yeah, but then
they turn into these circus,cartoony things. I was like,
okay, but I think there's, Ithink a horror, horror stuff. Of
them sounds quite entertaining.
I thinkyou would dig it. I think
you'd dig it. You know, you talkabout that, that they turn into

(30:49):
action movies, just jumping backto Fantastic Four and Superman.
And people are saying that, youknow, they've reinvented the
superhero movie. And that's whythese, these movies are doing so
much better than the other ones.
And I'm like, Are they reallyit's, it's still, it seems to
always end up in a world, and,yeah, event that they have to
prevent. And I'm like, I'd loveto see some of these Subaru

(31:12):
movies get a little smaller.
I think you'll get, I hopeyou'll get that with the next
Spider Man movie, yeah, exceptthe last Spider Man movie was a
world.
Yes. Was a world 100% no, thatwas crazy. But I'm hoping, since
we ended and the way we did thatit, yeah, we'll go back to being
small stories, or like theSpider Man cartoon was pretty

(31:33):
good for that too, yeah,for this neighborhood. Are they
doing a noir spider?
Oh, Nick Cage, yeah. Man, Iforgot about that. Yeah, get
that out.
But I mean, if nothing else, atleast there, I agree with you. I
don't think it's quite like asbig of a shift as people are
letting on, but I do thinkthey're actually paying
attention to the original sourcematerial and the comics and

(31:57):
going, Oh, hey, these are, theseare good there's some good ideas
in here, man. Superman is a goodguy. Well, shoot, let's just try
something crazy and see ifpeople are into that. Yeah. What
if he just cares about peopleand does good things? Oh, shit.
It's definitely a throwback tothe Christopher Reeve

(32:18):
for sure, the Snyder versusdildos that are losing their
shit over Yeah, people likingthis movie. This one did so much
more money. I don't give a shithow much more money one of them
might have made. I'd likewhether it's a good movie or
not. Yeah, it's like a goodmovie. Megan two, 2.0 didn't

(32:38):
make a lot of money, but fuckit. It's a good movie. Sounds
like, Well,I think I bumped up against a
lot of people who were tellingme how horrible it was. Oh,
really. Oh, really. I guess Ijust like, weird shit.
Sometimes it's just nice to havea good time. Yeah, it's okay if
it's not the exact same thing asthe one before, yeah,
yeah, exactly. Okay. Why don'twe take a little break? I'm

(33:00):
gonna try and adjust my my othermic again, and we will be back,
and we're talking about asylumfilms, right? Yeah, okay.
The quest for the newest proofrobots continues. Finally,
Stevie, it is hard. Don't youknow what that means, the

(33:23):
creation of my very own namefrom my stinky sweat socks. He's
gone mad. No, ran Yes.
Yes, it's new Nickelodeon. Feelout friends still be Doug and
more Nickelodeon characters nowon fruit roll ups. What fun
through roll ups? Will we rollout with next?

(33:56):
And we are back. Let's see ifthis microphone sounds any
differentwith your new shirt. All right.
Told Vanessa, I wonder ifanybody will notice. I'm going
to hand out a prize ifsomebody notices. We should have
led with that.
Vanessa, this was your pick. Youwant to talk a little bit about

(34:16):
this?
Yeah. So I would love to chatasylum, asylum movies, this is
something that I've had, like, aweird fascination with for a
long time, and because we've hiton some of these other great
things, like, I don't know, fullmoon and what was the one we
just did not too long ago. Butyeah, it was just like, fi

(34:37):
movies is a good excuse to checkout some asylum picks, I did a
little research on asylum. Sothis was founded by David lat,
David rimawai And Sherry stainfrom Hawaii. And stain had been
fired from village road showpictures, and lat was working
for an education softwarecompany, and they Latin. Ramawi

(35:00):
had previously worked togetherin the 1992 film sorority house
party. So they got together withstain and launched asylum as a
film distribution company.
Asylums first release was bellyfruit in 1999 a comedy drama
about a teen pregnancy. Thecompany's initial goal was to
distribute low budget dramafilms like belly fruit to video

(35:23):
rental chains like Blockbusterand Hollywood Video. But their
approach changed in early 2000sas video rental chains were more
interested in direct to directto video horror films, so they
kind of struggled to break intothe market, especially against
companies like lions, lions gateand would routinely offer who
would routinely offer filmmakersway more money. So they changed

(35:47):
their business model in 2002with a focus on in house
productions. Their goal was toproduce one film per month,
starting in 2002 and they beganwith a crime thriller, King of
the ants asylums. First hit filmwas vampires versus Zombies in
2004 where a poster had astriking resemblance to Freddie
versus Jason's poster, whichcame out the year before Film

(36:10):
International writer WheelerWinston Dixon describes vampires
versus Zombies as asylums firstmock buster. Around that same
time, lap began working on theadaptation of the 1898 novel,
The world of worlds, butdiscovered that Steven Spielberg
was working on the filmadaptation of the novel, so he
prepared to end production untilblockbuster ordered 100,000

(36:33):
copies of the film. So hereleased HD Wells is war the
worlds on June 28 2005 a daybefore Spielberg's film came
out. Emboldened by the successof War of the Worlds, asylum
started producing low budgetfilms to capitalize on popular

(36:54):
similar major film studio titlesin 2008 asylum increased their
meager production budget andpartnered with sci fi.
Currently, they focus on digitaldistribution. Their biggest
success came in 2014 with SharkSharknado, which went viral. It
spawned five sequels andeventually led to getting Z
Nation, which was a rip off ofWalking Dead. And they finally

(37:17):
scrapped that after five seasonsbecause, because it became too
costly. We all know about zoonation, because it's shot
locally in Washington, but thecompany is going strong today.
Sothat is asylum. That is crazy.
Yeah, realize that they had beenaround that long,
yeah, and I didn't realize thatthey had so many twists and

(37:39):
turns where, like belly fruit astheir first film is a to pivot
from that to then horror tothen, well, mock
busters. I mean, if King of theants had been huge, they would
have been a really differentYes, that's a, yeah. It's a
goody, goody film, yeah. Andit's definitely not like when
you think asylum is not there.
Never heard of it before. So Iwas just like, Gordon, yeah, oh

(38:01):
yeah. I saw the poster, and Iwas like, Is this about giant
ants? I was like, Oh no, this isnot at all. So you want to start
us off? Yeah, let's go ahead andstart off. I'm gonna go with 220
22 film, The Four Horsemen a poxof the apocalypse.

(38:24):
We're seeing a variety ofnatural disasters around the
globe.
The frequency and severity ofthese disasters are increasing.
They are originating from alocation near you. What does
this look like to you? Soundslike something out of the book
of Revelation. It's the end ofthe world.
Man, I'm assembling a team ofscientists, and they will do
everything that they can to stopthis thing. Molten fire will

(38:46):
rain down on every continent. Sowhat's the plan? I need to know
the exact epicenter of thevolcano so I know how much
ordinance that we need we haveless than 12 hours before the
eruption. Look, look, look, Iwe're

(39:10):
gonna go down if you don't dosomething about these books, A
pale horse emerged anddeath was its rider.

(39:41):
Ah, box office, budget unknown.
Directed by Josh Mead, who hasfour credits, including asteroid
again, Amityville hunting and DCdown, mostly an actor. He has 74
credits, mostly background andsmaller roles. He wrote that
with Joe Roach, who has 16Credits. Mostly asylum stuff. He
is also an actor and LauraPritchard, who has 36 acting

(40:03):
credits and seven writingcredits, all asylum stuff. So
bunch of actors get together ina room and make a movie starring
some more actors. Arie Thompson,14 credits, including keeping up
with the Joneses, Dr death andthe wrong Valentine, Eric st
John, 42 credits, including darkgospels and isle of dead and

(40:24):
some other people you would notrecognize ever this. The story
is we're starting off with theworld already in chaos various
natural disasters globally,which all seem to be linked to a
spot in Brazil. There are somesoldiers and major Jones in
charge. Of them are signed by ageneral somewhere off screen who

(40:48):
is watching remotely to go tothis lake. They are also teamed
up with three scientists, ameteorologist, volcanologist,
volcanologistand a biologist to figure out
what is happening and stop itbefore the world ends. The area
is experiencing guerillawarfare, so they need to be

(41:09):
careful. It's also experiencingquakes and lightning storms and
locusts, oh, and four horsemen,which are kind of around
randomly, and no one reacts tothem showing up and link
standing there on the hillsideand having like loud, booming
horse sounds. One of thesoldiers starts acting really
weird, then turns veryaggressive and tries to kill
somebody. It's discovered that astrange plant near the lake in

(41:32):
Brazil is releasing a toxin inthe air which can only be
eradicated with oxygen. Oh,yeah. Okay,
that's gonna be hard to come by.
This is the level of writing weare dealing with. There is a lot
of this. I'm like, wait, whatnow? Excuse, okay, they pinpoint

(41:53):
all of this to the lake andrealize that everything is
connected to it globally. Theonly solution blow up the lake.
Right as they're about to drop abomb on the lake, the major goes
crazy from the spores and seesthe four horsemen in the clouds
and starts talking about them.
Is it the spores, or are theyreally there? I'll leave it to
your imagination to how thisfilm ends. This film has like,

(42:16):
four sentences in it that peoplesay over and over again in
different ways. It is boring ashell. I don't know why they need
to blow up one lake to save theentire world. And like, they
don't have enough time to doanything else. All they can do
is blow up this lake and it'sgonna fix everything. I'm like,
I don't get any of the sciencethat they are trying to use in

(42:39):
this half the characters theykind of, there's like, two of
the scientists they just leaveon the side of the road for half
this movie. It sucks. I'm like,Okay, I guess you guys aren't
important. There's so muchsaying and not showing. The
budget is weird, because theyuse a bunch of things to, like,
blow up buildings and have hugestorms and have all these crazy
things happening. But then,like, they couldn't hire more

(43:00):
army guys, so at one point theygo to this abandoned, well, it's
supposed to be an army base, andthey're like, No one's here,
weird. And then never discussit. Or, like, one of the
scientists goes to into a room,like a closet, to do some
experiments, and they will notshow him. And like, one of the
other scientists knocks on thedoor and is like, they're like,
oh, you can't go in therebecause you're not wearing a

(43:23):
mask. And she's like, Oh, no,I'm not going to I'll just talk
to him through the door. I'mlike, you couldn't get some
speakers. What is the deal? Ireally wanted to watch this film
because I wanted to see how theywould battle the four horsemen.
This did not happen. Shockingly,there was a lack of horsemen
over the use of locusts andarmies and God in general. The
ending is a huge disappointment,but you do get to watch the four

(43:46):
horsemen, kind of rot ride offinto the sunset and just sort of
give up because their speciallike, plan fell apart. It's very
religious. Like, it feels like aChristian propaganda film.
They're constantly doing weirdstuff, like, Major, are you a
man of God? Yes, good. We'regonna need that. And then they,
like, randomly keep quoting theBible. When the major's about to

(44:08):
seemingly die, the scientistlady asks for his favorite
memory, and he talks about goingto church with his mom and her
not scolding him for knockingsomething over. And it is the
most mundane land ass favoritememory I've ever heard in my
entire life that was rough. Thisis free on prime. Watch the

(44:33):
trailer. You'll get the gist.
There's really not that muchtrivia. There's a previous film
in 1962 that looks a lot betterwith the same title. The tagline
is, the end is here, that's whatI got.
Well, great. I didn't even seethis one pop up and my list.

(44:53):
Find a movie for this.
I found it on the YouTube asylumchannel. I went through the A.
Apocalypse section. And I waslike, oh, okay, this one looks
interesting, like the trailerlooks I was like, oh, you know,
like, nowadays it's easier tomake lower budget films because
you have drones, you have like,they have their library of CGI.
I thought maybe the bar would beeasier to reach, but I was

(45:17):
sorely disappointed in my pick.
Wow, there's no Sharknado. Therewas no Sharknado. What you go,
yeah, okay,Eric, you don't mind? Okay,
yeah, dive in. Okay.
Five minutes on the buzzer. Ipicked from 2021, Aquarium of

(45:40):
the Dead The Shining SeaAquarium, I'm
checking to make sure that allof those medications that you
received from our facility weredestroyed.
Yeah, I handled it myself.
Here we had an animal that had asevere adverse reaction to the
dosage. You're saying. This wasan octopus.

(46:02):
So something is up with theanimals. We may have a bomber
go, but we need to get out ofhere. Would you stop? What was
that? They're trying tocompromise the tank run. I'm
going 911, now, lockdown. Whatdo you mean? We stuck here.

(46:24):
They're dead, but not dead.
I directed by Glenn Miller, whodirected zoomies. Zoomies two

(46:48):
top gunner danger zone and deathaquarium. He directed a movie
called Death aquarium. Afterdirecting a movie called
Aquarium of the dead,excellent, wow. He's got a real
pigeon hole.
This was written by a couple ofguys, Mark Gottlieb, who wrote
super volcano ape versus mechaape, Snow White and the Seven

(47:10):
Samurai. Oh my god and mouse ofhorrors. And also written by
Michael variety, who wrote codename Dyna stud nightmare house
and Hornet, which is theBumblebee, rip off, starring,
believe it or not, Vivica, a foxwho has 261 credits, the wrong

(47:34):
wedding planner, the wrongstepfather, the wrong
cheerleader coach. These threemovies are not connected. Oh, my
God, she does not play the samecharacter, and they're not
written or directed. I was likewhat I have to talk about that.
Also in this is Eva Seija, whohas 86 credits, including
Titanic 666, American Bigfootand hell past nightmare. And

(47:59):
also, DC Douglas, who has 353,credits, including Isle of the
Dead ribbons and 31 episodes ofUltraman, there you go. Okay,
guys, I really could have pickeda better film. There's a pretty
low rating on Rotten Tomatoes,but I like the idea. What I
didn't realize is this is thethird film in a series that

(48:19):
started with a movie called Zoombees, which was about a zombie
outbreak in a zoo that turns allthe animals into undead zoo
animals. And it should be notedthat about 15 years ago, I had
this exact same idea with thisexact same title, and I pitched
it to a couple of folks who shotit down immediately. I don't
know if it made its way tostyle, if it's just in the

(48:41):
zeitgeist. And I had a brilliantidea. Somebody else had the same
one. Wow. Anyway, zoomies cameout, did good enough for asylum
to get at least one sequel.
Zoomies two and then this sideQuill, I guess it also drops a
few hints that it is takingplace in the Sharknado universe.
But then I was like, I don'tknow. Maybe there is a asylum
cinematic universe, and theseare all related. I wondered the

(49:03):
same thing, oh, God, this is thesame idea as zoom bees, only. It
takes place in an aquarium, andit ties back to the zoomies
movie with a zoom piece with aparticular character. But I
didn't know that, but I ampretty smart cookie, and I was
able to follow this moviewithout having seen it starts at
the shining Sea Aquarium where acouple of workers are doing a

(49:27):
regular checkup on the residentoctopus, but the octopus goes
into cardiac arrest from theprocedure and seemingly dies,
then suddenly reanimates,attacks and kills the workers
and escapes into the ducts.
Coincidentally, at this time,one of the scientists at the
aquarium, Miranda, receives atransmission from the zoo
warning her to dispose of anyepinephrine the aquarium has

(49:50):
received. Her colleague, Danielassures her that he took care of
the disposal. And I think thisis what happened in the zoomies
movie, the epinephrine.
Foreshadow. So Miranda meetswith the local senator, who's
there with his assistant, andthey are touring the facilities
because he's going to secureadditional funds for them. But
of course, everything fallsapart when it becomes clear that
the octopus slime has somehowcon time contaminated the rest

(50:13):
of the animals in the aquarium,who then all shatter their tanks
to escape. I didn't realizeoctopuses created slime. I But
yeah, it's new on me. The moviethen becomes a mishmash of every
zombie movie slash Jaws rip offthe various people in the
aquarium, which seems to just beworkers, and the senator and his
aide are trying to avoid thezombies, and they keep coming up

(50:34):
against zombified alligators,walruses and a bunch of undead
spider crabs that are actuallypretty fucking great. It does
seem like this aquarium has waymore types of animals in it than
it should, but we don't get tosee anything cool, like a
fucking shark or a dolphin. Thatwould have been awesome to see.
People are dying left and right.
We find out, of course, thatDaniel, who was supposed to get

(50:55):
rid of the epinephrine, did notdo that, and it was somehow not
exactly sure part of a deal hemade with the senator. Doesn't
make a lot of sense. But whatdid I expect? A pretty good
movie with this I had a prettygood time with this movie.
Vivica, a fox is the name actor,and she is by no means the best
actor. Sure, not unusual. Sheflubs her lines a couple of

(51:18):
times, and they use those takes.
I don't understand if they justdidn't do more than one take on
these things.
All of her scenes take place inone room. She is locked in. And
I'd like they had it for oneday. Yeah, that tracks the
aquarium, though, is really coollooking. And there's lots of
shots of them walking by, youknow, huge tanks of fish and

(51:40):
beautiful scenery. And I'm like,this adds a lot of production
value. The effects are thehorrible type of plug in effects
that they have where you see analligator walking towards them,
and then in a completelydifferent scene, that same
alligator walking towardssomebody else, shit like that.
Tagline, don't touch the glass.

(52:02):
Don't knock on the glass orsomething.
Not a lot of trivia, as youmight expect from asylum. I
mean, are you going to besurprised as something that
looks like this cost so littleor that it was shot in only six
days? No, I do have a couple ofinteresting quotes. Lloyd Farley
at collider called it, quote,one of the most enjoyable animal

(52:22):
attack movies ever made. Wow,think that's stretching it a
little bit. Paul mount atStarburst scored it a three out
of five, and said, quote, it'sunlikely to make you throw up
after you've digested it all.
UNQUOTE, certainly faint,glowing. And Phil wheat at
nerdly said, if you liked eitherof Glenn Miller's zoological
zombie films, you'll enjoy thisone too. Which that is the best

(52:44):
price? I think that's probablytrue. It was called Aquarium of
the dead. Wow, here's myproblem. I just went and as soon
as you decided this was going tobe the thing, I was like 10 Best
asylum flicks, and this showedup in one of them. Oh, but then
when I looked at it, had like a23

(53:11):
so yeah, I kept looking at, likethe 10 Best and then just being
like, I I don't know. They werejust random. They just didn't
seem quite right. So I was alot of random movies when you're
looking at trance morphers andtop gunners. Exactly
I should have done top gunnerdanger zone.
The titles, awesome, Eric, youwant to wrap this up? I will

(53:34):
five minuteswith 2015, flight World War Two.
Ladiesand gentlemen, we have reached
our cruising altitude. Forecastcalled for clear skies to sit
back and enjoy your ride.
Something up over there you seein this way around it,

(53:57):
that's not a storm. Never haveto go straight through you.
None of this makes any sense.
Can help you figure out where weare. You've flown through a
German Bombing Run,17th of June, 1940 we have
traveled through time to changehuman history. We're up here all

(54:19):
alone, and we're in a war zone.
We got something close coming inhot in our night.
You're trying to hijack thisplane, nothing. We couldn't
handle the damn thing out of thesky ourselves.

(54:40):
Lily is World War Two.
This one current to yours. It'sa blockbuster 28% Whoa. Yeah,

(55:00):
luckily and happily, this isavailable on hoopla for you
know, no charge where everyplace else is rental directed by
Emil Edwin Smith of mega sharkversus mecha shark ice, sharks
and age of ice. He's actuallybest known for his visual
effects, where he was the key,one of the key guys on

(55:21):
Sharknado, but also serenity,the Firefly film. Wow, he has
actually a shitload of effectscredits. Oh, damn. The writer
was Jacob Cooney of flight 666,and Titanic, 666, and three
headed shark attack and fiveheaded shark attack, and the

(55:42):
fast and the fierce. What? Heskipped four headed shark
attack,I don't know. Man, they wanted
odd numbers.
Also. Bill handstock, who alsowrote a lot of silent films,
included three headed sharkattack and five headed shark
attack, the fast and the fierceand apocalypse. Pompeii, which

(56:05):
is not a period piecestarring ferranta Here, who you
probably have seen because he'san Iron Man. Star Trek, tons and
tons of television. Robbie K whoalso has lots of TV heroes, once
upon a time, blood Fest andaqua. Lee Zoll dances with
werewolves, coherence and wrongturn six. I

(56:31):
wish I'd come up with thattitle.
Dances With werewolves. Verygood. I didn't know there were
six of them. I thought wrongturn had ended at five.
Wrong Turn six was written byour buddy,
whose name I can't remember,right? Look it up. Yeah. So
right off the bat, you go, yep.
This is an asylum film, becauseit takes place in a plane that

(56:53):
is obviously not a plane. Youknow, not that to ever use a
real plane in a movie. But thisis Wow, rough the it's a giant
747, and you see, like, slightlylarger than the first class area
through the entire movie. Andthat's all the interactions.
Like, it's like, yeah, there'snobody else on this plane. It's

(57:13):
very, very empty flight. Planeis hit by a crazy storm and
seems to pass through some weirdblue haze. And when it comes
clear it's night, nobody knowswhat happens. Why is it night?
The pilot says it's because theypass through the corner of the
Bermuda Triangle. And I don'tknow if he was joking, okay, but
the plane, of course, is luckyenough to have all the experts

(57:35):
you need in a situation likethis, as you learn while the
flight attendants are handingout the water. Hi, we're here
because we studied World WarTwo. Look, we're working on this
book. Oh my God, but they takethe plane down just to kind of
see where they are. And it's aworld war two sea battle. And
decently rendered, although veryshort. Was not there long, but

(57:57):
it was done all right. The twoexperts kind of figure it out.
And of course, one grumpy guyoverhears them in the most
unrealistic part of the show,man sitting in front of two
people quietly talking on anairplane and overhearing
everything they're saying,no, but
definitely not final countdownlevel stuff, because obviously

(58:18):
it's a commercial airline, andthey're not loaded with guns,
although, being that, the guywho overheard everything thinks
they should go down and killHitler like UK, get a fly from
they figure they're in centralFrance to Germany, land an
unarmed plane and go anyways.
Luckily, that was nixed likeimmediately, almost as soon as

(58:41):
the guy said it, there's twomilitary guys that stand up and
go, that's stupid. Well, they'lldie. So, you know, that was
nice. Let's see what else. Nologic, no reality, but I gotta
tell you, absolutelyentertaining. Oh, really, I
enjoyed the shit out of thisstupid movie. It was so fun to
watch. It makes no sense in alogical way. But interestingly,

(59:08):
the biggest criticism in youknow, the IMDB stuff was, well,
this kind of plane didn't existuntil this time, and a 750 or
757. Has a maximum speed of 659,miles an hour while a the planes
are flying can at least maybehit 560, so it could easily Out
Run and shit like that. Butthere's a that's a point in the

(59:32):
movie where they figure outwhat's going on that Nix is
everything, as far as what youcould say about Well that didn't
exist at that time, which is asurprisingly smart move for an
asylum film. No kidding, butthis is really just largely
because for on and Aquilaferrans a great performance in

(59:56):
the. Film. He's got gravitas asthe captain. It works. Mostly.
They do incredibly stupidthings. But it's an asylum film.
I didn't go in there going thatthis is all going to connect and
logical work, and so I actuallyreally enjoyed it. This might be

(01:00:18):
one of the best asylum filmsI've watched
that sounds like it. I kind offelt bad making us do this,
because I was like this. Theseare all real stinkers. I
had a good time with it. Eric,do they? Do they land the plane?
No, they don't actually land theplane.

(01:00:39):
The whole thing, they're up inthe air. Well, yeah, they do
communicate with soldier on theground. There's some the like,
they go back in time, and theonly thing working is, what
would work? Like? The radarworks and the radio works. Okay?
So there's that becomes veryimportant, the radar and things
like that. And it the premise,you know, silly and ridiculous,

(01:01:01):
but they actually connect thedots much better than a lot of
asylum films where you're like,Okay, this probably wouldn't
work, but in the context of afilm, sure? Why not? Context of
a film where you traveledthrough time by flying through a
storm cloudat the edge of the Bermuda
Triangle, but then land overFrance somewhere, Yeah,

(01:01:22):
where's the Bermuda Triangle?
I thought that must be like ajoke. I don't know. It
disappeared sometime in the late90s, I think, or early, late
80s. They just stopped talkingabout the Bermuda Triangle at
sea.
I remember hearing it being abig deal when I was a kid. Oh
yeah, man,but it's that's in, like, just
below Florida, Ibelieve. Yeah. Okay, so
interesting. Okay, well, I guessthen Eric that, oh, wait, no,

(01:01:45):
you're, I've got the next one.
Oh, Kelly,damn, we're gonna watch another
asylum. You know how we did theSci Fi decade? No, uh, no,
I want to do movies that have anumber in the title. However,

(01:02:08):
that number can't be the sequelnumber. Okay,
so you could do Friday the 13th,but not Friday the 13th.
You could do any of the Fridaythe 13th movies, as long as it's
got 13 like you couldn't do Fredyou couldn't do Freddie versus
Jason, because it has no numberin the title.

(01:02:29):
You could do 2001because the number 2010 you can
do those kind of things. ThreeDays of the Condor,
the fourth victim. Oh, I'mreally excited about this is
gonna be a really fun challenge,yeah, so that's what we're gonna
do next week. Okay? Then thatmeans that we're at the end of
the episode, guys, we fuckingmade it somehow. Let's hope
