creatives need to be kept far apart. It's four part
as possible. Yeah, we wouldn't want any bit of coherency

It's an important thing.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
I mean, American American spies that are just like, hey,
I'm from America. Is that an American accent from America?

Speaker 3 (05:39):
But British is instant respect. I love that you don't
even know how to do an American accent, Like how
do you be a Partican? After five days of contentious questioning,
Judge Clarence Thomas completed his appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee,
and his views remain elusive on most issues. Even though

think he's so funny. Oh, I do I find him charming?

Speaker 1 (07:58):
You don't, I've never met him.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Oh. I used to work at the Staples Center and
he would come in the club and he was so
charming and sweet and funny. The new management of the
Independence Bank of Encino, California filed a lawsuit alleging that
the bank was secretly acquired by the Bank of Credit
and Commerce International in nineteen eighty five. Management is mad
it was done secretly without a secret handshape. Oh, you

(08:23):
need the sacred hand shike. Yeah, you can't steal a
secret deal without the secret handshake. Them's the rolls yeah wo.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
After signing a five year extension for twenty three point
five million dollars, Jose Canseco is looking into trade possibilities
because he's unhappy with how the Oakland fans treat him.
He gives he keeps getting his hair caught in the blades.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
I love I love booing. You you know words. And finally,
NASA is reluctantly shelving many of its plans for large
spacecraft in favor of relatively small and simple ones, which
would save the space agency billions of dollars. Representatives said
it was either this or no free snacks in the

(09:42):
break room. So you gotta make choices. You gotta make choices.
You can't do that.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
Corn chits corn, It's good for you.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
You know what's better than corn chips? Corn nuts? I
love some corner hurt my teeth?

Speaker 3 (10:03):
They did.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
They hurt my teeth.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
Now when I was like, can I ate him? Like crazy?
And then now I go back and I'm like, this
is Satan's snack. I don't like this. I'm gonna pop
a feeling.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
And those were you're not so current events. Oh Jenny,
what did we watch? Girl?

Speaker 3 (10:29):
We wish Arena And I guess like me and me
and Jenevie both like said, oh, that's Casper. No, you know,
like we separately said that, and then the other guys like,
and that's like another version of Casper. And you know
two Casper's in the movie.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
To me, the guy that played the our main guy,
Steve Armstrong, Yeah, he looked like a blonde Christopher Reeves.
To me, for sure, he's like his whole face. I
was like, oh my god, it's Christopher Reeves with a
bad haircut.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
And I looked it up and he used to get
people used to get confused and think he was Christopher Reeves.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
And like autographs, why those cheekbones they were.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
So Casper doesn't remember how, but I'm like, look this,
you could have had this part. He goes, that's my
friend Steve. Listen. Of course, of course that's your friend's team.
And he's the one who told me people always thought
he was Christopher Reeve. But I said, how did you
know him? And he goes, I don't remember. It was
the late eighties, like nobody remembers how they knew anybody
in that.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
I'm like, oh, nobody knows.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
Interesting. There's a lot of weird shit happening back.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
Then, not like now it's normal.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
No, no, norma now.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
So this film is it's a Charles Band executive produced,
so it's got that feel. I always loved seeing that
because then that means you got some Richard Band composing
our music, which you gotta love Richard Band.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
The music was very weird.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
Not the score, not no, he did the score and
he might have done the music, but I will give
that to you. The music that are Jade sings.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
It's just joined to and bizarre.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
What is happening with It's like provo song. Yeah, it
was weird. This was written by Danny Bilson and Paul DeMeo.
I'm pronouncing that right, but.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
A lot together.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Their very next project was The Rocketeer like my childhood much.

Speaker 5 (12:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Their flash movie was Transfers.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
Yeah, and the Flash TV series, which was great, very cool.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
Wait the Flash yeah back from like.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
The Flashes the nineties.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Wasn't uh Mark Hammeling one of those episodes? I think so?
I think it was a bad guy in one of them.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
I mean that's that's just going off my memory as
being a teenager. Yeah, hell if I really remember.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
We just want him in everything.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
I just want him in everything in like my bathroom.
What just to see how comforting it is. It's a
comfortable bathroom. I want to I want to approval. This
is the funk Shuai in my toilet room. Acceptable special

(13:32):
effects led by Michael Deeck. He had a big team
behind him, and boy did it show. Those are some
some great makeups.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
Yeah, I love.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
Anyways, shall we get into what this movie is instead
of just talking yip yap and about all these randos. Yeah. So,
uh it's like a fighting movie, right, like a like
a UFC with aliens.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
Yeah, like you have see with monsters. Yeah, totally, except.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
It's almost like sumo wrestling because you just have to
push him out of bounds. Yeah, which was a weird
rule that we found halfway through the movie.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Yeah, I'm like, oh, okay, on a fighter. Okay.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
We start off with a six time champion Horn who's
just like half robot werewolf type thing. I don't know
what he was.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
He had a bad attitude.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Deckuy had a bad attitude.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
He needed to be taken down a peg.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
And then he was fighting another robot type guy.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Which he was very rude too. I mean, if it's
just now that I know it's to be pushed out
of bounds, it's like you were like picking him up
and trying to rip his little rogublot head off a bin.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Yeah, what's that about?

Speaker 3 (14:46):
Don't Ripully.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
So we're in the middle of that fight and we
go to the snack bar number twenty one and we
meet Shorty who is a four armed nebulite and the
four arms gagged that they.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Kept doing and they were different a couple of times.
It just like like sometimes sometimes we can let somebody
else put their hand through and do stuff, but sometimes
they just have to weird.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
He's like the walk and talk, they have to be
hanging arms, which he always tried to cover by like
closing his robe and be like shy, I'm shy. I
don't like everybody judging my my fourth arm.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
Yeah, because people had a kind of an attitude problem
about nebulites.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Oh they really did. But you know what, nebulites never forget.
That's a key pointing here. So so this this fight
gets out of hand because we see this guy named
Rogue or, yes, rogue or and he gets on his
little inner current calm and he says weasel.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
Now, and Weasel upset me a lot. There was something
about the way they did his spatial makeup too, like
made me feel like my space was being invaded.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
I think that his makeup might be my favorite makeup
in very effect. And the thing it was, it was
so well done. It was seamless, it was it was
a beautiful makeup. Him and Skull were.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
Like you, and I think beautiful is different because I
was like, that's perfect for his name to be Weasel,
because I'm like, stay over there.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
The job, the application, the painting, it was a wonderful
makeup job. I loved a big, big fan of that makeups.
So he tells him and then Weasel goes up and
he like hands the hands horns. I don't know, cut
man or whatever. This injection of steroids or something. He

(16:52):
takes his steroids and then things get out of hand. Okay,
things get out of hand. Horn just throws the guy
out of the thing. It escalates like they're in an
old school ECW bingo hall, Oh my god, I wait
I y K y k. Do you know what that

(17:14):
stands for? PEP? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (17:16):
No, yeah no. And every time people from my high
school put that in one of their Instagram posts, I'm like,
we don't have to do this.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
You don't have to do this.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
So is this now where we go to the Casper
coach with the hot, hot hot babe.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
She's so hot, she's so hot.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
She reminded me of if Rizzo and Denise Richards had
a baby somehow.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Oh I got Yeah, I'm not going to say what
I got. No, I feel like I have to say
no kidding. Well yeah, So they're like, this is kind
of happening simultaneously where our heroes. Steve Armstrong is watching

(18:03):
it on television and he's.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
Like and he's like the world Like, I'm like, how
did he get this job? Because he's trying to blend
shit without a top on, And I'm like, are you
really seriously? The stupid it's going everywhere on the four
ron guarded arm guy is so pissed, and yeah, we
find out that he's pissing off the wrong kid because

(18:27):
his dad's like a badass fish guy.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
Yeah. So there's like this this thing happening at the
front with Shorty. There's this scuffle and this dude comes
up and he starts starting to fight with Shorty and
Steve comes out. He's like, hey, you can't do that
and starts fisticuffing. Yeah, don't fisticuff of fish face.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
Yeah, he seems like he's gonna destroy him, but then surprised.
He's a badass fighter.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
So badass fighter.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
Yeah, it's been fifty years since we saw a human
be a monsterl an alien like that.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
Yeah, it's fifty years. Let's say that for the first
time of man.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
Yes, So Shorty's so impressed. They both get fired, though.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
Do they both get fired? I thought that Shorty didn't
get fired.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
No, they I think they got fired. He said you
two get out of here.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
Steve definitely gets fired. He loses his apartment, he gets
it's ruins his life, this little fight, and yeah, Shorty's like,
I owe you for saving my life. And a nebula
never forgets. So Steve made a mistake. This guy is
attached to his hip.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
Now, yeah, bad idea. But he takes into like this
really cool underground yeah, like tunnel tubes.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
Where is this We're in the tubes? Yeah, yeah, And
he lets him crash. He lets him crash at his place.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
And he's got a great place down there.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
Oh oh, then we do we do have a He
does have a great place down there. Cheap rent too, Yeah,
and then we kind of like we got We cut
to the fighter from the first one. His name is Spinner.
He's the other robot and was in the fight who lost.
His name is Spinner. He lost to Horn and he
needs a micro relay.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
This made up.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
It's too expensive, and they he has to retire.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
It just made me think of our society.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
Yeah, Spinner sad. Yeah, it's too a micro relay is
too expensive, buddy, you have to you have to retire.
And then Quinn, who was the coach or the fight promoter,
sees Vang, who is our fish guy, come in and

(20:46):
he shows up in traction. She's like, what happened to you?
You're supposed to fight and he's like a human.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
Huh, that hasn't happened in fifty ye?

Speaker 1 (20:58):
Wait how long?

Speaker 3 (20:59):
But I She ends the scene with kind of the
first THINGE over with the one who got destroyed, the
mighty to fix and he looks at his don't give
up on me, I won't know. We never hear from
him again.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
She definitely gave up. Was like a human. Well it
has been fift years, could feel better, have fun, Spinner,
I'll see you on the flip. So then we go
back down to the tubes and Steve meets Marcus Diablo,
the last human champion. Yeah, how long has it? How

(21:32):
long has it been since he was champion? Fifty yes,
Steve revealed to At this point, Steve finally says that
you know, it wasn't like a fluke that I beat
that guy's But I'm a fighter and I always dreamed
of one day fighting in the arena blah blah.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
But that's when the game met something.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Yeah, back when it meant something now, which is just
a bunch of betting and fixing.

Speaker 3 (22:01):
And then I love. Through this conversation, we learned that
Shorty has twenty seven kids.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
Dude loves to bone, He's got four arms. What else
does he have?

Speaker 3 (22:19):
They didn't show that part. You can imagine, you.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
Can imagine what them nebulas are packing.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
And then he thought he locked his place when he's
showing him in, but it's not locked. And who's in there?
One of your new faiths.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
One of my new faiths, Skull, and Steve just automatically
just starts beating the hell.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
Out of this, Like for you, he's like this big.

Speaker 5 (22:47):
Sort.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
He's like, well, hold on, brain, what are you doing
in here? Yeah? And then how'd you get into my home?

Speaker 3 (22:57):
This is one kissing out and then the guy who
looks like another version of my husband Casper, comes to
the door, and then they get in a fight, the
two look alike guy.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
But before they get in a fight, they're all they're
having a well. When he kicks out Skull, he says,
the problem with living in the tubes is there's too
many weirdos.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
Yeah, so it's you, right.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
So before these two guys come knocking on the door,
they have to have like a scene with them living together,
and it's just that like set up to where we
get the knock on the door and they have this
whole conversation where where Shorty's like, hey, or I don't
remember who says what, But they're like, shorty, we're jobless.
Eggs are expensive, don't cook eggs. Eggs are expensive.

Speaker 3 (23:42):
It's a oh lord, it's a luxury.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
Item that is evergreen material.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
So when they're when they get in a fight with
this guy, Steve Armstrong, yeah, lunch, Yeah, and he says
that was for Fang, and it's like, who the fuck
is Fang?

Speaker 1 (23:57):
It's actually Vang with the the I had to put
on the little subtitles because I'm like, what are they saying?
It definitely sounds like they're saying fang every time, but
it's a.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
Vein yeah, And I thought they were gonna fuck.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
It would have been a better film if it was.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
Yeah. I mean, it's weird because like, maybe I'm the
only one who finds a lot of these eighties movies
very homo erotic, you.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Know, I don't know, I don't know. If it's you're projecting,
it feels good too. It feels good to project that
you ever watched The Secret on Him? How gay is
that movie?

Speaker 3 (24:36):
So super great and super.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
Gay, so good? So they kicked Steve's ass, and all
of a sudden he says that that was from Vain
and then Steve all of a sudden turns the tables
and kicks both of their asses, And here is an
epic shot. After he kicks out the last guy's ass,
he hits him into like this fog, this like steaming fog.

(25:02):
Mess guy falls to the ground and the fog slowly
dissipates and Quinn like walks through the fog, all like
bad that bitch. Yeah, and she's got this like silky
copper dress with a matching jacket, just like I'm here.
It's down to recognize you to bum. Yeah, mama's home

(25:25):
by Now what is she? What is she doing there?

Speaker 3 (25:31):
She propositions him to be her new fighter because she's
so intrigued by a human, because it's been fifty years.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
It's been fifty years, And I love this line, Steve goes.
He tells her to take your bone heads and scram.
I love this little lady.

Speaker 3 (25:52):
So good. And anytimes when he gets sold to scram
just a little bit scram.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Gram, Like every time I write a new script, I'm like,
how many SCRAMs are in this script? I have to
count my scramps. Yeah, Shorty tells him he's a dumb
ass for passing that one up. Yeah, because all of
a sudden, Steve wants to go back to Earth.

Speaker 3 (26:17):
Yeah, and I love that the eggs aren't the only
thing yellow around here.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
Ooh yeah, I like the white part of an egg
being yellow, so yellow yellow.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
But I love here though that Like after like he's like,
I'll take you in to my trash home where you're
gonna get your ass beaten. Then do you have any money?
Like what kind of help are you really giving him?
He takes his last money I want to do go
to a casino. Casino the password to get in is

(26:54):
sword fish, and it's never paid off, never paid off.
It's like, okay, we.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Passwords are you know, random changes every night.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
Sometimes she kind of find out like maybe the guy
who owns it eats swordfish. I was looking for, oh swordfish,
what is this?

Speaker 2 (27:11):
Like?

Speaker 1 (27:13):
You have to know you like put it on your
chalkboard as you're like watching the swordfish.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
Keeping eyes is gonna come back? The things that I
think are going to come back never do. I'm onto something.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
So they walk through this little casino and Steve is
mesmerized by this lady and she is at a botchy
ball roulette wheel. Yeah, but it's a giant botchi.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
Okay, it's a game of chats.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
And here you go. You roll it. It's not good
for the same person to roll it twice.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
Yeah, he's like, what the heck. Yeah, she sits there
and keeps rolling it after he leaves. So right, but
they both win. She hits a wind, he hits a win.
They have like a connection that ass makeup so yeah, badass,
because here's the deal. Sometimes if they have really great
monster makeup, they can't do like beauty.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Well they had a team.

Speaker 3 (28:13):
Yeah, both were banging and uh are.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Oh we didn't even mention our.

Speaker 6 (28:17):
Our costumes amazing, like all silk, like stretchy silver. It's
all shiny, all shiny, metallic, stretchy stuff.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
I was sitting there at first, I'm like, this stuff
looks like leather, but it's like just really thick, shiny fabric.
But sometimes when you turn to the side, you can
kind of see the bunching.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
I wasn't looking for bunchings. I was looking for lines.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
Yeah, was I were you?

Speaker 1 (28:53):
Was I?

Speaker 3 (28:56):
I'm enrolling in fashion school. Oh yeah, so short he
loses all of his money.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
He takes him away. He's like, we're gonna go do
this and he takes him away, and I love these
lines that Steve comes back to her. He takes her away,
and he's like, hold on. He goes, excuse me, are
you going to be here a while? As long as
I'm having a winning street, I've got to go. But
I'll be right back of Like, what a weird interaction
so formal? Excuse me lady that I'm flirting with?

Speaker 4 (29:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (29:26):
So, yeah, Shorty loses, But what happens when he loses?

Speaker 3 (29:31):
They get a race.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Commissioner Dent shows up. Yeah, Commissioner Dent, who they talk
about a lot, but this is the only time we
see commissioner. I think, yeah, it's all yeah. He shows
up and he's zapping people, and he's like, I zap you.
And Weasel pulls out his little zapper and starts zapping yep.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
And then what a shorty do?

Speaker 1 (29:51):
What a typical nebulae does.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
Still, steal some money, Steal some money while they're escaping.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
Steal some money, and they go down these little.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
But guess who saw him?

Speaker 1 (30:02):
Oh weasel can't pass anything by weasel. Now the shorty
ditches Steve in these little like air duct tunnels, says,
meet me at the guzzle bar.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
And he's there. Steve goes and he's just getting hammered, hammered.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
And it's like it's the Kenny g Smooth jazz version
of the Star Wars CANTEENA.

Speaker 3 (30:26):
It's so weird because there's.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Just like countless different aliens just all like sitting but
it's so it's like going for that vibe, but it's
so chill. Yeah, and the music is like.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
What are you? What is this trying to be? Right now?
It's so weird.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
And Steve's drinking Malovian brew by.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
The way, Malovian brew, yeah, and he said that's really heavy,
it's very powerful. So he's gonna get ship house.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Well, he had four tankards. How many tankards have you had?

Speaker 3 (31:00):
And I was sitting there, look at it's like a
cup like this, like a barrel, and.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
Yeah, like a tankard.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
Stupid short Shorty does something really kind and gives him
one way ticket back to Earth.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
I don't ever want to see you a goddamn human
face here again? Is that what he's meant by that?

Speaker 3 (31:21):
He knows he was home and he was trying.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
To get back, trying to get back home.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
He said, now we're finally even because there was like
this thing where he's like, oh, you're giving me a place,
so you're doing all this nice stuff for you know,
even he's no, it's very important for him for it
to really feel like he doesn't owe this guy ship anymore.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
That's true because he's like tied to the hip. He's
just like yeah, and Steve's like, go, uh wait, please
go away? Yeah, and he convinced him to fight again.
And this is and then this part.

Speaker 3 (31:52):
This insane song where Jade comes up as a hologram and.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Yeah, it's like a weird pop up.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
I see No, it's you have eyes. She tells him,
I'm cute you have eyes.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
But like, not only are the weirds in there, the
words the weirds yeah, Freudian. Not only are the words insane?
The music is like good god, please stop.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
It's horrible. It's so hard.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
And he's just like mesmerized, like who you want to
hear this?

Speaker 3 (32:33):
Yeah, she's amazing. He's like instantly in love.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
It's like like I love this woman. And Weasel catches
up with them. Zappa in the back is like, come
with me if you want to live.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
Basically, get them all, you get them up. You nebulaie
all of his hands go.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
All of them.

Speaker 3 (32:59):
Yeah, and then the sliding draws up into reveal two
leather daddies and a long hair man.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
A film is not a film unless you got two
leave daddies. That's all I have to say.

Speaker 3 (33:16):
Yeah, it was very.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
It's a movie until you get those leather daddies, then
it's a film.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
Oh hell, I'm like, oh, all of a sudden, I'm invested.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
Yeah, oh oh you sat up.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
Oh we're going to set.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
So we find out that they owe rog Or eighteen
thousand Krueger. He wants his damn money. Yeah, and Steve says, yeah,
I'll get your money. Just give me a date. Twelve dollars.
I went too fast.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
No, But what I think is so funny is like
how betrayed he felt. And he said, here, it's fine.
Here's the ticket on the sec this at thirteen hundredhere's
the other five bound. I sent it to my kids.
I have like twenty seven fucking kids, right, child support
was due, man.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
Come on, dude, guys got to support for his children.
And Steve goes like, fine, twelve hours to get you
the money. Yeah, And oh man, I just have to
point this out. He goes to see Quinn. He decides

(34:31):
he's gonna fight, but he wakes her up. It's three
o'clock in the morning. Yeah, and she is in.

Speaker 3 (34:39):
A purple cocktail.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
Waitex's dress feels very in the very impractical.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
Yeah, and it's once lead to one part digging into
her side and.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
She puts on like a bathrobe with giant shoulder.

Speaker 3 (34:57):
Pads like it's matching perfectly.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
We need to bring that vision of the future back.
We need more, We.

Speaker 3 (35:07):
Need to be more uncomfortable.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
Yeah, that's what I meant. Look, here's the deal. We
all need to suffer for some style every now and then,
or I wouldn't be wearing these heels. I guess I
don't have to wear them when they're not on camera.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
That's your business. So Ding Dong is the future and
they're using.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
An Apple Watch exactly. It is the future.

Speaker 3 (35:34):
And I love that he says, send the kids back.
Where the fuck is a kid? That is a giant
man who's kicking everybody's ass and you come to like
his shins because of his childish good looks like we
should have fixed that in the script when we cast
this guy. This is not the karate kid. This is

(35:56):
a giant man.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
Roguar is totally impressed at it. It happens got the
money that fast. He's like, you should be working for me.

Speaker 3 (36:04):
I've already got a job. Woo.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
And the very next scene we see Steve at his
brand new job fighting and he fights an alien named Sloth.
It was this giant He's got giant legs and a
slug butt.

Speaker 5 (36:21):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
Fantastic alien right here. I think he's over. Yeah, I'd
love this. The alien designs on these.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
And you and you can tell Men and Black was
inspired by this completely.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
I mean the in the the puppetry of it was awesome.
They did a great job of like kind of cutting
it to where it was semi believable that these things
are fighting, even though like he's got small arms and
giant legs, so it's like an odd thing.

Speaker 3 (36:51):
Also awesome.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
We have to mention that Steve's codpiece.

Speaker 3 (36:56):
Oh it's incredible.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
Oh, oh, it's incredible. It is. I was like, it's
just this Jody in like, why does he like and
then he's got shoulder pads and and then he's got
these like gloves. No other fighter has gloves or shoulder
pads or cod pieces, but they all should have a
cut piece.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
Because this is his look, okay, And what I love
is short heels. Kill that son of a toad. You
know how much I love when someone gets called a toad?

Speaker 1 (37:28):
You love toads. We need to keep a book of
how many films use the insult toad.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
Yeah, and technically, like this was made in the eighties.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
Yeah, it was. It wasn't released in which you know,
obviously most of our films are from the eighties. But
I did want a little wiggle room, a little you know,
to like ninety early nineties to late seventies, just a
little wiggle room in there. And so it was released
in like the UK in eighty nine, but for some
reason didn't get a US release until ninety one.

Speaker 3 (38:04):
Yeah, which is so weird, I don't know. But anyways, Yeah,
I love that. I love that. The eighties Spinks big
teardown was you toad.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
You toad? Demmy, let's bring it back. You can bring
toad back.

Speaker 3 (38:21):
I'm trying.

Speaker 1 (38:23):
Damn hard.

Speaker 3 (38:24):
Somebody has to screen. If you lose this, there won't
be another human champion for fifty year. Oh shit, that's
my motivation.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
Fifty years is a long time. It's almost like a thousand.
You make a little off.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
So they're even one to one. Right, the steaks are high,
steaks are high. Rodger is mad and Weasel sys it's
not that good. Beginner's like, Weesel is so fucking jealous
of this guy.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
So jealous, you know, you know there's a little bit
of like, you know, you know there's a little I
do you know, Yeah, a little tongue out, a little
tongue on the lep. That's what I mean. You gotta
go all weasel.

Speaker 3 (39:17):
He's like, if he tries to kiss me, I mean,
we'll go from there. But like, I hate the guy.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
Like I hate him, but would I pull back?

Speaker 3 (39:23):
He's so annoying. But if he tried to kiss.

Speaker 1 (39:26):
Me, I'm not going to back down.

Speaker 3 (39:28):
We'll see what happens. We'll see what happens. I want
to see that kiss. You don't have to get like now.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
Hi, little weasel. And after Steve winns, oh wait, so yeah,
the Slough gets him in a headlock.

Speaker 3 (39:45):
Yeah, you think he's gonna rip his head off.

Speaker 1 (39:47):
Which is so funny because he's barely holding because his
arms are not very large. He's like and Quinn almost
calls the fight.

Speaker 3 (39:54):
Yeah. She's like, he's going off his head off, he's
gonna kill him.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
And then he does this like cool like he back out,
he like, and then he does this like dive bomb
under slop et music.

Speaker 3 (40:07):
The music sounds like eat and then.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
He does this like flying jump kick and kicks him
out of the ring, which is like, finally you go, oh, okay,
these are the rules, now I understand the rules of this.
We're like, because the first fight, you don't have any
idea what the rules.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
Are, nop.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
Yeah, and we kind of still don't. No, there's just like, okay,
you score point, it's best two out of three. You
score point if they go out of bounds. But what
happens when you just knock him out? I don't know.
That hasn't come up yet.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
Yeah, not yet.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
And then Rogor goes up to Steve as Short is
cleaning his wounds. He's like, whether you want to or not,
you're gonna work for me. Yeah, and I love it
because Steve shoots up. Nobody tolds me what to do.

Speaker 3 (40:55):
Yeah, And there's barely a scratch on him, and he's
fought this giant, crazy worm alien and he's like oh,
I just need.

Speaker 1 (41:03):
We forgot to mention, which is very important to the
whole film, is the handicapper. We didn't mention the handicapper.
So all these aliens and humans whatever, all have their
own strength, their own specialties, and this handicapper kind of

(41:25):
levels the playing field. So you know, these aliens can't
overpower the human because that wouldn't be a fair fight.
So it has to come down to technique. Yeah, not
just brute strength, because an alien would win every time.

Speaker 3 (41:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:45):
Which also at the same time, I'm like.

Speaker 3 (41:46):
Eh, and it's a computer that can't be penetrated that decides.

Speaker 1 (41:51):
Yeah, but I've been trying to penetrate it for years. Shot.

Speaker 3 (41:59):
He says, you're gonna work for me, And he says, well,
then I guess I won't be champion.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
Yep. Yeah, because you won't get a champion unless you work,
or you won't be able to get a shot unless unless.

Speaker 3 (42:09):
You're with me. I'm the only one who's in the champions. Well,
then I guess I won't be a champion.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
So they go out to celebrate, and I love this
little thing here because and I would I want a
whole spin a spin off movie with this nightclub comedian.

Speaker 3 (42:25):
Oh, the stand up comedian yes, whose tagline is and
remember I hate your guts great winning over audiences every night.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
And it's like all of his jokes are like random.
This alien does this weird thing into like it.

Speaker 3 (42:45):
Reminds me of the Dark Backward.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
Oh tell me more.

Speaker 3 (42:51):
Where Judd Nelson played the comedian, Am I saying that backward?

Speaker 1 (42:55):
Well, I haven't seen it. You know that it's on
my list of things we should.

Speaker 3 (42:58):
Okay, yeah, it's right. You're gonna love it and you're
gonna think about this moment.

Speaker 1 (43:04):
Because he's staring up thinking about this moment, like, remind
you of the dark? Oh?

Speaker 3 (43:10):
Yes, and reminded me of the dark Backwards.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
So we get a little bit of Quinn's backstory in
this moment. Her dad ran a stable full of fighters,
and uh, did you notice her jacket and dress here? Okay,
somebody got a bedazzler for Christmas.

Speaker 3 (43:27):
Yeah, she looks fabulous.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
That thing was bedazzled to that.

Speaker 3 (43:30):
And he's looking at the sparkly woman and he's just like,
how are you so tough and so beautiful or whatever.
He's like, now you're trying to hang on her, this guy,
And then moments later, the singer's funny. He's like, oh,
oh fun no.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
Oh, hold on grip. Yes, well, Rogor comes in and
uh oh she after she tells the story that Roguor
broke her dad's heart because he came in and made
it all about gambling and the purity of the fighting
went away, and so her dad went broke and kind

(44:07):
of left her his business, which I think she said
left him left her Spinner was like the only thing,
and she's just gonna abandon Spinner.

Speaker 3 (44:19):
Yeah, it cares.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
We never see Spinner again, so it doesn't ever doesn't matter.
So Rogard does show up with Horn and Jade on
his arm.

Speaker 3 (44:28):
What, Yeah, Jade's his girl? What the hell?

Speaker 1 (44:31):
Jade's his girl? Hm hm hm. But Steve doesn't care.

Speaker 3 (44:35):
Steve doesn't even care. And this is the thing, Like,
that's what I don't understand about you guys. It's your
mortal enemies. Girl, Like there are billions of girls and
yet like no I need that one.

Speaker 1 (44:46):
But also, why is she with him?

Speaker 3 (44:48):
Girl? You know why?

Speaker 1 (44:52):
Alien dick? Oh wait, I'm confused. Did I not read
that right? Is that what you meant by this? It's
alien dick? Yo.

Speaker 3 (45:10):
I was refreshing.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
Yeah, that's a weird shape.

Speaker 3 (45:13):
I'll try it.

Speaker 1 (45:15):
I'll try anything once.

Speaker 3 (45:17):
So then she performs this weird disjoint of insane song I.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
Love the Barbarian again, very weird, disjointed. Steve is getting
so horny watching it because of her dance. Yeah, her
dance moves and this thing are basically tie chi.

Speaker 3 (45:36):
Yeah, it's just.

Speaker 1 (45:36):
Like, what are you doing this? Like weird slow song.

Speaker 3 (45:41):
Here's the back of my dress, here's my dress if
I kick my leg out. She just wanted to show
off her dress.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
All of these musical moments felt like such a missed
opportunity to have some really fun stuff. But they're just
like they pull you out of it and like what
is her open me?

Speaker 3 (45:59):
Yeah, but then Shorty's like we gotta go, we got
a meeting whatever. And then they take like all these
prizes and we're just giving them away to people down
in the two.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
I didn't understand that. I don't know where that came.

Speaker 3 (46:10):
How is going on? This is your business meeting?

Speaker 1 (46:14):
Like Marcus Diablo comes by and he's like, here's here's.

Speaker 3 (46:17):
My medal, yeah, and just gives it to him, just
gives it. He's like, thanks for giving us some potato
chips and shit.

Speaker 1 (46:24):
Also, I don't know if you wrote this down or not,
but he tells him, wait a minute, I can't take
this because you earned it for doing fifty. Fight.

Speaker 3 (46:38):
We're obsessed with the number fifty.

Speaker 1 (46:40):
Fifty years ago. What is happening with fifty?

Speaker 3 (46:46):
Yeah, fifty actually the real producer and we finally uncovered
the truth.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
Oh finally, it's so weird. And then he says eight
as a producer.

Speaker 3 (47:02):
Yeah. So then he's like to show you, like, how
are we gonna pay for this? I guess you'll have
to keep fighting, you.

Speaker 1 (47:07):
Little bitch, You little bitch.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
You're not doing anything, like you're not doing anything here.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
Yeah. And so from all.

Speaker 3 (47:17):
These kids to feed, and he's like, no, let's go
feed the tubes.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
Let's go yeah, let's be the tubes dad. Yeah. Oh
I was. I was idolizing him this whole time. So
now we go to a montage fights Spinning Heads four
quadrant or Spinning Headlines where they go for four quadrant footage.

Speaker 3 (47:40):
He's now the top contender.

Speaker 1 (47:42):
Yeah. And for some reason, there's references to galactic pancakes
at this moment.

Speaker 3 (47:47):
And I was like, that made me hungry.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
Yeah, it was rude. What how dare you now? I
want a galactic pancake.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
Yeah, that sounds great.

Speaker 1 (47:57):
And he's done so well that this commission. Oh, he
gets on them. He gets on Horn with Horn's representative
rogue or I just did that on the spot. I
didn't have those notes. I'm phenomenal.

Speaker 3 (48:12):
You're so good, We're so lucky to have you.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
Somebody needs to tell my parents.

Speaker 3 (48:18):
I know.

Speaker 5 (48:20):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (48:21):
He says, you got to give him a title shot,
and so he's forced in to do that. Well. At
this time, Skull and Weasel are scheming together.

Speaker 3 (48:34):
Yeah, they want to try to mess up the handicapped system,
and he's kind of like that computer is impenetrable, Like,
you're not going.

Speaker 1 (48:41):
To mess doing it.

Speaker 3 (48:42):
He's but he has his own plan.

Speaker 1 (48:44):
He's got this brain, so he does have his own
own plan. But this one is probably my favorite line
in the film because of the way it was delivered.
When he says it's like it can't be done. No
one has ever been able to get into that infirm
old computer. And he points his finger up into the air.
Did that in front of computer?

Speaker 3 (49:06):
I think he tried. Here's my own speculation.

Speaker 1 (49:09):
Oh, thank you.

Speaker 6 (49:10):
Let's do it with the way he did this.

Speaker 3 (49:16):
I immediately thought he had a really hard time getting
that line. So sometimes when you put like a physical
thing too, it helps you remember how to.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
Say it, Like how many times did he just go?

Speaker 3 (49:28):
Like?

Speaker 1 (49:29):
No one's been able to get into that infernal computer.

Speaker 3 (49:33):
I got it, I got it, signed, I got it.

Speaker 1 (49:35):
This, we'll try to do it, like hold a coffee,
Hold a coffee, Maybe use a prop, use a prop. No,
I got hand, somebody hand him a pool. This infernal computer. No,
that's not it's not feeling right. What if I gesture
like I'm in a nineteen forties gangster flick. Yeah, this infernal.

Speaker 3 (49:54):
Computer, and I just do you ask me what happened?

Speaker 1 (49:57):
The director's just sitting there, like, have you ever.

Speaker 3 (49:59):
Had that happened to you?

Speaker 5 (50:00):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (50:01):
We have to use that take.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
Where you have inspiration that strikes. I never get inspired by.

Speaker 3 (50:08):
Anything, says a man with children.

Speaker 1 (50:10):
The only thing I know how to do is get emotional.

Speaker 3 (50:14):
Says a man with children.

Speaker 1 (50:17):
You just get emotional. I cry. I'm just crying in
a movie this morning. What is wrong? Everything? I credit everything?

Speaker 2 (50:23):
Now?

Speaker 3 (50:24):
Really? Really you do? I've always cried about I never.

Speaker 1 (50:29):
Used to, but yeah, now like I just moved random movies.
I'm like, what is happening with me? I didn't used
to do this. Now I'm just like freaking. And it's
it's not from children, it's from just getting older. I think, yeah,
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (50:43):
Touch with yourself.

Speaker 1 (50:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (50:46):
So now Steve is training, Yes.

Speaker 1 (50:48):
The training, and I love this alien. He's like a
little dinosaur aliens and his voice he's just like good,
good footwork, stude.

Speaker 3 (51:03):
Yeah, but I love that after he gets done with
being kind of mean and ring, he goes and there's like,
do I still have to keep acting like horn? They're like, yeah,
I love that little dinosaur.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
Yeah, he was great, and I just love all the
puppetry work because he's just this huge thing that kind
of waddles. He's a little wild and Jade shows up
and gets distracted.

Speaker 3 (51:25):
He's like, yeah, it's like, first of all, it's like
everybody's trying to figure out how to deal with him.
Just put her there, like he got his ass handed
to it, and just when she walked in, like she.

Speaker 1 (51:38):
Walked in, and then he's like, oh, ouch, I have
to show that I'm a toughie and then he.

Speaker 3 (51:42):
Like jumps, Yes, they get to it.

Speaker 1 (51:45):
Yeah, and then he chased she just like disappears because
that's what the move, because you just got to have
people chase you.

Speaker 3 (51:53):
And I like this look on her too, the hot
leather one with the cutout to see the under boot.

Speaker 1 (51:58):
Oh, I mean have to rewatch that.

Speaker 3 (52:01):
It's like a circle. It's just a circle, so you
can just see a little underneath.

Speaker 1 (52:07):
So he chases after and he's like, hey, you want
to help me relax? Whoa what? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (52:18):
Respect, he said exactly what he needed.

Speaker 1 (52:20):
Did he did? And she gives him her hotel key card.

Speaker 3 (52:25):
With her name on it. Like it's like you didn't
know something was weird to hear, buddy, that's weird.

Speaker 1 (52:35):
Yeah, she's got And then like just going to Jade's.

Speaker 3 (52:38):
Place, yeah, like and it's beautiful.

Speaker 1 (52:42):
It's garden water fixtures, fireplace.

Speaker 3 (52:46):
Thing and space ship.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
Yes we are, and it's just like eighty space future
at its best.

Speaker 3 (52:57):
Yeah, no sense, this makes no sense.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
It's wonderful. And her bed sheets are made out of
my Lar emergency blankets like I could not think of,
just like people in the back of a like a fire,
like the ambul holding like a mile a blanket. When
they're in bed doing it, I'm like, it's just like

(53:21):
it's to keep you warm after like a very traumatic experience.

Speaker 3 (53:26):
Yeah, and she's like, would you would you like a drink?
Help yourself? Yeah, I'm gonna go finish getting ready, and
then oh like rubbing perfume on herself.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
And then they go do it a naughty and they're
not even married, Like what is happening?

Speaker 3 (53:48):
Yeah, like he wanted to relax and he's gonna fucking relax.
But what the thing that I love?

Speaker 1 (53:53):
I've never found that relaxing. I'm sorry, it's a lot
of work.

Speaker 3 (53:58):
You know, it's the after okay, when everybody always slams
into the pillows and movies. But what I liked when
they were doing it, when they were getting ready to
do it, is he starts taking her top off. Mym like,
oh yeah, there's gonna be a nipple in one second.
And then she just says, what about the fight?

Speaker 1 (54:20):
Just just harshen it all for everyone, Like just stop
and say He's like, let me worry about the fight.

Speaker 3 (54:26):
Yeah, and then they just continue to still do it.
I'm like that beat seemed a little I think she
just yelled that out because her nipples. What a fight?
That's not in my contract, you bitch.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
How dare you try to improvise ripping my chits out?
How dare that is not an improv move that we
make sure.

Speaker 3 (54:50):
You fucking highlighted ass bitch?

Speaker 1 (54:53):
I know, I know what the director said, improv something
in this moment. So after they do it, she puts
her bathroom on shoulder pads and all yep, and then
gets a couple of drinks. And we know what she's doing.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
We do.

Speaker 3 (55:13):
But as she's doing it, though, so I give her
some points there. She's like, you try to rip my
nipple out? How about this, I'll show you crack.

Speaker 1 (55:20):
You get a little bit of the crack. Yeah, and
then uh, she lays gives him the drink and lays
back down in the bed. And there's no reason for this.
They kiss upside down. There's no reason for an upside
down kiss. Nobody enjoys that. Nobody's doing that in real life.
Not great, We stop unless you're Spider Man. Don't do it.

Speaker 3 (55:42):
Don't. But what I don't understand is when she's whip
him cheers. Oh I'm not so, what's for luck? Bitch?
Didn't drink it. How lucky would that be? Like he's
just like, okay, I'll chug it.

Speaker 1 (55:58):
Oh it's luck tankers.

Speaker 3 (56:01):
So first first point I want to make here is
this is the bitch that you saw with the guy
who's very upset with you. She gives you a drink
and she refuses to drink it but insists that you do.

Speaker 1 (56:14):
But here's my counter.

Speaker 3 (56:17):
Okay, boners, it is just so stupid.

Speaker 1 (56:25):
Although this is a post boner, so well, at that
point you're not thinking about anything.

Speaker 3 (56:31):
He's got to get an outside down kiss and get
another boner.

Speaker 1 (56:33):
You know. If there's one thing that gives me a boner,
it's an upside down kit.

Speaker 3 (56:40):
Yeah, oh got it.

Speaker 4 (56:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (56:42):
So then after this little bone bonathon, Jade meets back
up with Roguar and he rubs her neck and she's
way too into it. He's like very uncomfortable.

Speaker 3 (57:00):
You you on me, Jaddy, I'm like, ew you.

Speaker 1 (57:05):
He's got silver paint on, which that's his makeup. He's
just silver painted.

Speaker 3 (57:11):
But he I know, he's like very metallic and shiny.
So he's very concerned if she's falling for him.

Speaker 1 (57:17):
Though, yes, very concerned about that.

Speaker 3 (57:20):
Like, no, I love your ugly, long hair, weird metally skin.
He's like, fine, but you.

Speaker 1 (57:29):
Steve wakes up and he is sick and he is hungover,
he's not feeling good, and then we just like go
right to it.

Speaker 7 (57:36):
We go right to What I love about this right
here though, is is my husband was watching with me
and he that guy started to get out of it
and he just goes, oh, he's gonna fall down the wow.

Speaker 1 (57:50):
Yeah, right before we get a pain shot.

Speaker 3 (57:52):
Yeah, let it slide me a little bit stingy.

Speaker 1 (57:58):
Yeah, just give me the base.

Speaker 3 (58:00):
But I just love casts like little inserts, oh he's
gonna fall down.

Speaker 1 (58:03):
Oh check this out. Horn enters this arena, Horn Crouch
and the commentators like, wow, champions, uh, breaking tradition here.
Champions usually enter last. What's going on?

Speaker 3 (58:21):
Steve is hungover from being poisoned Shakespeare style.

Speaker 1 (58:24):
But he shows up and he's got the wiggle wobbles yep.
He's like, oh, I'm fine, and they're like, I don't
think so he.

Speaker 3 (58:33):
Spent drugs? Who are you with? That's my personal personally.

Speaker 1 (58:37):
Give him a fifty c seeds of crystal plex to
counteract the poison. I had to write that down. I
was like crystal plex. I don't think that's real.

Speaker 3 (58:48):
You should have done this crystal.

Speaker 1 (58:50):
Plex then we would have known that it had to
be done post taste stats.

Speaker 3 (58:57):
So Rogor is gloating about cheating, yes, and Quinn is
just like, this is the Championships Team Steeve. See the
announcers like, where's the challenger? Yeah, first human fighter in
half a century. Well they finally said it differently.

Speaker 1 (59:12):
Yeah. Quinn is in the room with Steve, the little
back room locker rooms, and she says, Steve, that's Roguors. Girl,
Like he didn't. Yeah, like freaking know that, Like you
can't put that together.

Speaker 3 (59:27):
Y'all saw that.

Speaker 1 (59:29):
We saw you see him like we saw you come on.
And then he gets when she gives him this information
that he definitely already had. He punches a locker like
a real man. Hell yeah, real men punch lockers.

Speaker 3 (59:43):
Without their glove on, right before a fight.

Speaker 1 (59:46):
Yeah, I got punch a locker, a big middle door.

Speaker 3 (59:50):
So Steve. It said that Steve represents the hopes, the dreams,
the desires of every earthly Yeah. That's heavy.

Speaker 1 (59:59):
That's heavy. There's a lot of pressure. That's a lot
of goddamn pressure.

Speaker 3 (01:00:04):
So they keep dragging him even more since he've been drugged,
so we need more drugs.

Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
More drugs to other drugs.

Speaker 3 (01:00:12):
Well, Horn wants, is this dude gonna fight or what?

Speaker 1 (01:00:15):
Yeah, come on, let's go, let's go. The audience starts
chating for him.

Speaker 3 (01:00:20):
Yeah, Steve's writing.

Speaker 1 (01:00:21):
Now, rogue or tells Weasel. When he comes out, he's like, okay,
go with the plan to mess with the handicapper.

Speaker 3 (01:00:28):
But what I love is he says, do it all
the way, do it all the way.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
And then Weasel is like, yes, daddy, mm hmmm. But
they don't mess with it for round one. They let
round one.

Speaker 3 (01:00:45):
Yeah, they said, we don't want to make get too obvious.
So Steve's fighting Horn, Weasel and Skull are sneaking around.
Steve wins round one, you know, the first round he does.

Speaker 1 (01:00:55):
He's looking good and he's looking good out there.

Speaker 3 (01:00:57):
Then Skull's like, blast off.

Speaker 1 (01:01:03):
That's all skulls like round two, they set the plan
in motion. Steve starts getting his booty licked.

Speaker 3 (01:01:12):
Shorty sees that like the lights are changing up on
the icap and he says, I smell a rat or
a weasel, And the old champion says, come on, see
tear him apart, very tare am a pot you're carrying me?

Speaker 1 (01:01:34):
I was actually wearing a room T shirt today, but
I took it off to record. I went to the
sixth anniversary Oh wow, without knowing, and he was there
and he handed me his shirt and I was like, Cools,
we're celebrating the sixth anniversary. Cool. Interesting. Oh that's a

(01:01:55):
fun fact.

Speaker 3 (01:01:57):
Fun fact. So oh, Jade says, starts to say, we're
gonna stop this, gonna stop it, to stop the bit
he's gonna get him.

Speaker 1 (01:02:06):
You have to stop it, got it, stop it.

Speaker 3 (01:02:09):
What I love, though, is Rogue Wars says, have to
come this far? Yeah, do you want to try that
line again with a finger.

Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
Let's give you some philicate physicalities. Maybe put your fist
on your hips. After we come this.

Speaker 3 (01:02:24):
Far, come this far, you're missing a few things. There.

Speaker 1 (01:02:28):
We get into round three, kill him school. That weasel
shouts kill him school, So like turn it all the
way up. We're gonna we're gonna make sure that Steve
doesn't make it out of this fight alive.

Speaker 5 (01:02:42):
Whoa, whoa, whoa?

Speaker 1 (01:02:43):
What did I miss?

Speaker 3 (01:02:44):
Oh no, no, no, It's like when he's hit, let you
say there's a countdown, but it counts up and that
is bothersome.

Speaker 1 (01:02:53):
That that makes me upset. My brain does not like
it doesn't like that. Get your counting patterns correct.

Speaker 3 (01:03:01):
If you're gonna call it count now, you gotta start
at ten. That's a count up.

Speaker 1 (01:03:08):
So this is happening, Like he gets knocked down.

Speaker 3 (01:03:11):
If it's counting, Shorty's fighting weasel, Yes, figure out what's
going on, and skull is Shorty.

Speaker 1 (01:03:16):
Gets thrown into this little like area where he quickly
rips out some wires on this unit. Yeah, and uh
short circuit skull hit head X blows like blows up.

Speaker 3 (01:03:33):
Yeah, school no more skull fried.

Speaker 1 (01:03:36):
I'll take a couple of school fries with that up.

Speaker 3 (01:03:39):
So with that, our hero gets up and the handicapper
is back to normal.

Speaker 1 (01:03:46):
You can just call it the count.

Speaker 4 (01:03:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:03:49):
So the fight resumes, but I love it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:51):
Because it goes like hey, nine, huh, countdown over? Oh okay,
Like he didn't get up, he just kind of like moved. Oh,
countdown's over. It's okay.

Speaker 3 (01:04:03):
Oh he's okay, he's moving around. It's like, what are
the rules here?

Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
I'm confused. So then after that happens, Shorty tosses Weasel
to his death. Yeah, he just tosses him off this
like big thing.

Speaker 3 (01:04:22):
And it's a very close doom of his face. Yeah,
it was like a very uncomfortable It's like I didn't
like him, but I don't want to see him dead. No,
please cut.

Speaker 1 (01:04:35):
So Steve does all this like slow pull and uh
you know, he just beats the crap out a horn once.
It's like that whole beat down just doesn't affect him anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:04:52):
No, no concussion.

Speaker 1 (01:04:55):
But this is great, this is great. I'm fine now.
And he he becomes the new undefeated champion of the Universe.

Speaker 3 (01:05:06):
First Charm Yeah, and then Silver. Dracula is like really pissed.

Speaker 1 (01:05:13):
She's so pissed.

Speaker 3 (01:05:14):
He's like his girl's leaving him, like, bitch, you fucked up,
you lost.

Speaker 1 (01:05:20):
You lost. You're no longer in charge of my career or.

Speaker 3 (01:05:23):
My just in this moment, I thought these two aren't
fighting like this head of a corporation of like this
evil bad guy network and his like, bitch, they're fighting
like it's ninety day fiance and she's done. It's like
a reality TV kind of fight like way, and she's
running out and he's like stop we just need to talk.

(01:05:44):
And they're standing in the crowd and people are passing
around them. He's like pathetic looking when come on, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:05:50):
Hey baby, don't leave me. Now, don't leave me when
times get hired.

Speaker 3 (01:05:57):
I know, so we.

Speaker 1 (01:05:57):
Went through a couple of rough patches. You don't have
to leave me.

Speaker 3 (01:06:00):
You said you were rich and powerful, and you just
look weak and and uh.

Speaker 1 (01:06:08):
So she approaches Steve because she's like, I'm gonna go
with Steve because he's a champion and I need to
go where power is.

Speaker 3 (01:06:16):
Yes, And what happens quinsis I don't think so, bitch,
And punches are so hard in the face, knock sort
of the ground, and then people just start stepping over her.
And then as alt to injury, no one cares if
you're okay, they're just like then.

Speaker 1 (01:06:31):
We then we go to a TV the first human
title holder, you know over gee, we have to get
it in one lesson one more.

Speaker 3 (01:06:41):
Time because because we haven't heard it seven other times, and.

Speaker 1 (01:06:44):
Then we're out. We're out.

Speaker 3 (01:06:46):
It's done, abrupt, end by done.

Speaker 1 (01:06:49):
Everybody go home.

Speaker 3 (01:06:51):
We hit our quota, Yeah, ninety minutes, get their.

Speaker 1 (01:06:56):
Credits, Yeah, roll that ship. We're done. Pack up, the whites,
boys or ladies.

Speaker 3 (01:07:04):
And that's it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:05):
That's it. You got a movie MVP.

Speaker 3 (01:07:09):
I mean it has to be the makeup team without.

Speaker 1 (01:07:11):
A without a question, one from top to bottom, designs
a rad what they did, the application and spotlet, the
puppetry work super top notch. I I mean they didn't.
It's it's you know, the eighties was such a time
for practical effects and the special effects makeup and the

(01:07:33):
blood and the gore. But they didn't have to do
any of the gore, any of the blood stuff. It
was all just focused on character design. And uh, those
guys knocked it out of the park. I thought that
it's worth the watch just for the alien work. Yeah,
and uh, I think that brings us to reboot, reimagining, remaster, prequel, sequel.

(01:08:15):
Uh I say remake really yeah, I want to cut
out all the fixed Fight nonsense, the politics with Rogu
or the Fight promoters. Just give me an alien Rocky
and I'm happy.

Speaker 3 (01:08:31):
Oh that's that's a great point. And see for me,
I was like, I would probably say remaster because okay,
I would be afraid for the visual effects people of
today to touch this.

Speaker 1 (01:08:42):
That's fair, but you have you still have wonderful, wonderful
people who don't get to really show their mastery. And
I want to give that Yes, one hundred percent. I mean, yes,
you have to have practical and you just have to
let just hire a team you know, can be whatever.

(01:09:06):
They would knock it out of the park, but just
give those guys free reign. Just like, guys, this is
what we're doing. Go to town. Like really, let's just
here's all the money you need. Let's go.

Speaker 3 (01:09:21):
Yeah, because I don't I don't like when they do
something and they have these great puppeteers, with these great
visual practical effects artists and then they put tons and
tons of shit on top of it. I'm like, you
can have it just be simple and really freaking cool.

Speaker 1 (01:09:38):
Yeah, agreed, And I think that's what they if they
were to like remake it. That's what you do. You
just have to get a practical effects team and really
just give them the keys of the castle and just
say run them up. Guys, this is the script. Make
as many aliens as you want. Yeah, that's what I want.

Speaker 3 (01:10:01):
I agree on that team because like the only thing
holding me back was like I would just be afraid
they would over cegi it.

Speaker 1 (01:10:08):
Yeah, I don't even care. Get get some like well,
like one of the aliens, just do like one of
them that's like claymation, just stop motion, but just one
is stop motion, like just mix up play in that world.
And I'm so game for something like that. But you know,
we live in the world. We live in.

Speaker 3 (01:10:28):
That's that. Okay, Well, it's now time for nostalgia of
the win. For this week's nostalgia of the Week, one
of the great old ones late night talk show hosts Johnny.

I've had stronger.

Speaker 1 (01:11:38):
You'reine streams.

Speaker 4 (01:11:41):
It's so depressing. You're you're so weak you can't even
lift my spirits. Yes, anyways, I'll tell you what I'm
nostalgic for, fear of what happened to you humans. You
used to cower in fear like wet puppies in a thunderstorm.

(01:12:03):
Now you want to fight us in an octagon. Seriously, honey.
I don't get no distress. I'm an ancient deity from
space who ruled the Earth for hundreds of thousands of years.
But nowadays it's all, oh great, another immigrants stealing our jobs.

(01:12:23):
No distress, honey. I went to a therabus. I told
him I knew of all the chaotic terrors and the cosmos.

Speaker 1 (01:12:31):
He said, what's up with the nose dates. I'm telling you, honey,
no distress at all.

Speaker 4 (01:12:39):
The mere side of me used to drive mortals to insanity.

Speaker 1 (01:12:43):
Now they just oo there.

Speaker 4 (01:12:47):
Oh, thank you. The other day I went to give
the Night Terrors to a hooker, and she told me
it was to leave it on the nightstand. Leave it
on the nightstand. I don't get no distress.

Speaker 1 (01:13:02):
I had a holy.

Speaker 4 (01:13:03):
Book written about me. My wife read it. She said
it reminded her of me in bed. No climax, no distress.
I used to have religious cults worship me and doing
my bidding. Now I use a bookie, thank you. I'm

(01:13:24):
telling you, no distress at all. I went to Old
Navy for acid washed genes. Nobody helped me. I can't
get no distressed pants, no distress, honeyed.

Speaker 1 (01:13:35):
I went to a bar. Bartender asked if I wanted liquor.
I said liquor.

Speaker 4 (01:13:40):
I don't even know her. Shut up, you puny humans.
That's my joke. I wrote it four hundred thousand years ago.
Just because you've heard it before, it doesn't mean it's
not a Johnny Cthulhu original. Ugh, humanity bores me. You're
all pathetic. Your finest achievements are hosting podcasts and nobody

(01:14:00):
he watches or listens to.

background on a film I think it was called The
Gambler or just Gambler with uh Mark Wahlberg. And I
was like in a big basketball scene. I was a
cameraman and I walked by, you know, because they're just
doing these checks and they lead us out to the
where we're gonna just sit and I see Howard Berger.

I like lost it and I was like talking to people,
and then he decided that he was just gonna walk
up and check all the background and just like, you know,
make sure everybody's okay if they need any And I
was like, dude, I just have to tell you. I
just I love you. I'm a huge fan. And he

up to me and he goes, thirty five years in
the business and I'm putting sweat on people. He looks,
