You were now listening to the podcastfor Geeks and the Stuff they Love,
where each week we'll talk about everythingfrom anime to movies, games and prop
collecting, but the people who createand love it. I'm Jeremy, I'm
Vince, I'm James, and thisis your geek Mix. So this last
week, although there's a lot ofcontroversy right at the moment about this as
(00:22):
far as the exact date, butyou know, one of the things that
was listened last week bence as faras as far as anniversaries technically technically,
so technically it's a back to thefuture kind of a big back to the
future day last week. It's likethe date that they return to the present,
(00:45):
right right, right, Well,so that's the thing is, there's
two sets of dates that are outthere, but everybody seems to celebrate it
on the wrong date. I mean, it's not the date that he actually
went back, you know, thevery first day that he went back,
which is in October, right,But at the same time, it's yeah,
(01:07):
it's it's still regardless. It's kindof like the back of the Future
related dates. And you know,with this being how days I could go
there and chase the date all thedisplay if you like, there you go.
That's right, which you're gonna We'regonna be talking about that in detail
in another episode. But yeah,you guys are gonna be seeing the actual
but one of the consoles, Idon't know which which film console that was.
(01:30):
I think some of their stuff isback to beature two, right,
the problems because and everything, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think it's
I think it might be too,but either way, and please get some
detailed pictures of that because because I'vegot a project or two that I'm trying
to do that that would be reallyreally helpful with it used to hup like
(01:52):
that, mate, Yeah, youcan still get it. It's mostly stickers
though that are made to look likethe metal, like the kurrigate and metal.
But it's but it's still it's kindof cool. It lights up all
three levels and stuff. I knowa lot of people seem to have them
displayed with their models and stuff.I think they're Yeah, I had to
(02:13):
back the future video I did fairlyrecently related to the fan Home back to
the Future model and and of courseit's the only one that had problems with
actually of the fan Home things thatcame out recently, so so YouTube suppressed
it. You can easily find outnow, by the way, if if
(02:35):
they suppress the video, you canfind out if they suppressed your video or
or if they've or if they've whatdo they call it, where they were
they limited? Yeah, yeah,or they'll they'll throttle it is the other
term. And so you know,the first release of it got throttled,
So I deleted it because that's whatthey tell you to do, and in
(02:58):
contact the support, they don't.They don't just fix it. They say,
well, you can always delete itand re upload it. So that's
why I did delete it. Reuploaded it is the same thing happening.
So I think it's like like maybelike three hundred views on that, whereas
the he my newest fan home video, which is the Millennium Falcon now has
about seventy five thousand views. Sookay, I this dad, but still
(03:23):
but yeah, give a reason whyit gets troubled then, is right?
They kind of do. Actually,so these days it's hard because you know,
doing things like this where I'm collaborating, you know, they want you
to put a link in your description. Well, now links in comments or
descriptions are actually things that can getyou throttled or suppressed because they want to
(03:44):
make sure that they're not spamming peopleand stuff like that. I mean that
there's there's some good reasons behind it, but the downside is because it's being
done automatically, you know, thingshappen. But originally for that video,
I didn't put in in the end. They actually had cut out a couple
of things. And one of thethings I did was I went out to
one of our nearby cornfields and andused some special effects to make it look
(04:08):
as if you remember the end ofBack of the Future too, that there's
a scene where the DeLorean is flyingabove Marty. Uh, you know docks
in it. Uh, they've gotthe flags right that are caught that are
hanging down. He's at the signfor whis what's the name of the like
I think I asked you this beforetoo, what's the name of the location?
(04:30):
Where the where the houses? It'sa Lion's the state? Yeah,
that's it. That's it, Leedsthe state. Yeah yeah, And uh
so you stand at the bottom ofthe sign. So I went out and
filmed some stuff and and had mydaughter and my son to assist me so
that we could fake basically that scenewith the postman, only instead of him
bringing me a letter, he broughtme a fan home box and and then
(04:55):
and then having you know, andit happened to also be storming and stuff
and rainings. It was perfect timing. We filmed it a golden hour,
So if you can do night timefilming, it's best to do it at
golden hour, just you know,those the time where the sun's gone down
but it's still light outside, orthe sun's about to come up and it's
light outside so there's no shadows andthings, and then you just turn down
the tent and add a little bitof a blue tint and it makes it
(05:17):
look really cool. But at thesame time, so yeah, I mean,
I love Back to the Future andthe fact that that came out recently.
But but we were we were startingto talk a little bit before we
came on online about Leya that you'rewho you're gonna be meeting, not Lea
from Star Wars. We're talking aboutbut it's gonna be a bit beyond my
(05:41):
Ghosts player to compact old Leyah.Yeah, she'll talk to you about your
uh yeah, I know this.She'll talk to you about your underwear.
That's something Demily comment on and thingslike that as a kind of band thing.
Uh, you know, I shallstill make a comment stuff because uh
(06:01):
yeah Marty, Marty McFly, where'sYeah, where's Colvin Klein? You know,
she has some kind of famous oneliners and things. I was thinking
about this yesterday though. Was shein? People are gonna think I'm stupid
for thinking this, But honestly,until yesterday, I was driving back and
I was thinking about the three filmsand in about this conversation, and I
(06:27):
was like, wait a minute,is she in the third movie? I
didn't have the girlfriend got replaced,right, Well, they switched to girlfriends
in in two, and she wasin in three. But then but mom
mom was in two, right,she played in playing herself as an old
woman as well as her current age. But you know when they went back
(06:49):
in time, Marty's you know,great, great, she's there, La
Ray McFly, Oh she was,okay, yeah, I don't know.
I couldn't remember. I remember,yeah, because he plays he plays his
own grandfather, right or a greatgreat grandfather or whatever he is supposed to
be stuff. So yeah, okay, yeah, which is funny. Yeah,
(07:15):
it's the same thing. With withdata and Star Trek like every song
grandfather, father, parent, it'sjust it's always yeah, but that's funny.
I mean it is. It isa nice troke that you can have
and also makes it makes fans foryounger children to under stand out that's his
granddad because they look the same withye. Also, it's always surprised me
(07:39):
that he actually played Richard his wholefamily and back to the chitchen good.
Oh yeah, and this was ata time you know, I watched I
think Corn Crew talked about her recently. The fact that it's it's so hard
these days to think about special factsthat seemed like they weren't that long ago,
even though it was a long timeago. Now it makes me feel
(08:01):
old because I was actually an adultby the time that third Mood. But
at the same time, uh,you know, those effects it was it
wasn't like we can do it soeasily today. So you know, true,
they already had the dollies that couldbe automated, and so you could
you could actually program it to runthe exact same camera shot more than once
(08:24):
and then and then film the sameperson playing different roles and stuff. But
on the flip side, there wereseveral things in there there were atypical.
The other thing, it was aspecial effect had to do with his dad.
Do you know what that is?Yeah, well he was fine with
with the This is a big controversy. Oh yeah, yeah, because his
(08:48):
because his dad of course in intwo wasn't played by the same actor,
but grisping Christ Yeah, yeah,yeah, you can. You can go
on line and watch him. He'ssuch a weird guy. I mean,
he is a truly bizarre person.Uh you know he can yeah, yeah,
(09:13):
he's definitely, i mean, veryeccentric and stuff, and he's very
he has very strong opinions. Uh. Is that that led to him not
being in in part two? Andthen the reason why he was so upset
was because for for one, theydid a death mask of him, which
is what you you know, deathmaster used to be used in the old
(09:35):
days to be able to kind ofkeep a record of what you look like
in life beforehand. But now youknow, they we use those also to
make uh, prosthetics or movies,and so you know, the mask and
then yeah, and then they'll youknow, build up things out of that's
how we make, you know,those the masks that they'll put onto them
different makeup jobs, and so theyused the mass that they had from one
(10:01):
to basically create a fake face foranother actor to to have for two.
So he is not in two theguy that's hanging upside down and things like
that that is actually another actor.And then they also did some comped shots
from from one, and so chrispCrispin Glover got really upset about this,
(10:22):
made a big deal about it.And it's actually because of that and lawsuits
that resulted from it, that somelaws were changed in relation to what movies
can use as far as somebody's imagegoes. If they're going to use his
likeness, that he should be compensatedat least or at least get the credit.
(10:43):
Well, this was discussion that wehave now. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, I remember there was somecommercial one of the very first things I
think that came out that had todo with using special effects to basically still
previous filmed stuff. I think itwas Sinatra or somebody that they had.
(11:07):
They they took one of their filmsand then they superimposed a vacuum cleaner as
I remember it was, and itwas a vacuum commercial and uh and so
and had them dancing around with thisvacuum cleaner. Well, Chris, a
person is dead. They didn't consent, or maybe they don't even like vacuums.
I don't know, but you know, maybe their family. Yeah,
(11:31):
and so you know it was technicallythey so they only paid the studio rights.
They didn't pay for his you know, his image, and so that
I remember that was around the sameera that this all happened. And so
and yeah, like you said,I mean, now with all the changes
in all the new advances, thisis an even bigger thing. But yeah,
yeah, kind of kind of aninteresting aspect about part two. Yeah,
(11:58):
but yeah, also all be meetingthis weekend or next weekend, I
mean, at least to the bigweek for you man, it's gonna be
a tires week. So November fourth, for the record, I'll be in
Brussels and I'll be meeting mcguither soRichard Dean And yeah he's not just mcguiver
though either. I mean he's no, he's Colonel Jack Nill yeah, or
(12:22):
general or admiral or whatever that hewas at the end. I'm a big
Stargate fan, s G Y andalso all the other stuff. Yeah,
I actually went Atlantis was still onI and one of my questions came into
the pool where they would actually askthe actress. Uh yeah, yeah,
so one of them, this isa question from Vincent from the Little Girl.
(12:43):
That's really cool. Cool. Yeah. Yeah, So that was when
Atlantis was still going live. Youcould actually send them stop be a Gate
world. That was a while ago. I mean that was yeah. Yeah,
it was great television. I meanI watched it through. Yeah,
if you had to compare, Iknow this is a jump from technically I've
(13:05):
got a fever today and stuff.I will tell you in advance that I'm
gonna be all over the place bythe flip site if you have to compare,
What do you think the movie versusTV series? Personally, I always
thought the series was better, ButI think the movie vibe was really cool
(13:28):
because it's an isolated thing and youdon't really know about it, so it's
like it starts off or we findsomething, and then all of a sudden
it breaks the world open and there'smore to be ad like historically and everything,
Stargate goes deep into that. Butthen you know at the end,
they're like, oh, we're gonnado Atlantis. Oh we're gonna do the
(13:48):
Vikings, the Christianity and then likethe last ones like Star Trek Galaxy or
I was the one with the withthe ship that they were trapped on.
It was like, hey there wasthere was a spin off that came after
(14:09):
Atlantis. Sorry, Stargate see startfor Uh, it's kind of Star Trek
though it hasse did have several Ibelieve, Or it's a game. Yeah,
well what's it called again? No, it was called Stargate Universe.
Uh, and it is about aspace ship that they find and they just
(14:35):
get trapped on that and it startsto watch itself towards the place that they
don't know and then a lot ofstuff breaks out. But it was really
bad acting for actors that could havedone better, I believe because later on
they were way better in other series. But they Yeah, they were quite
cliche in that one. And didit beat a lout with the movies,
Like there were like three movies thatcame out after as she wanted it was
(14:58):
all all the all those were doneuniversal studios where they think that was Canada.
Oh they were, Oh, Ididn't know that, because that's that's
every time they visited. It waseither a forest or like yeah. I
think it was Universal Pictures though thatmade it, isn't it? And gym
(15:20):
that way off what they got bankruptso they had to Yeah, what's the
studio got bankrupt? They stopped doingtarget stuff. I was I was totally
at the peak and we watched itreligiously. So I want to see it
in I also want to see sometarget stuff at rupt store, which will
be going on the second there throughsome stuff there. Yeah, from Stargate
(15:41):
as well, and you know everyday they keep releasing things that you know,
I'm like wow, uh yeah,so there's so many. If you
request too much stuff, it's like, oh well, because if you look
at the tube page, they alreadyhave it in shells and everything. Oh
that's cool. So so I thinkwe'll make the most out of it.
(16:03):
Yeah, also looking at stuff inthe neighborhood, of course, if you
can do something so that. Thefine thing is props are located in the
area of England where a lot ofstudios are, but means a lot of
movies were shot nearby, because they'reof course chief locages to shoot. Oh
yeah, so so one of themis probably the Nabu Forest from episode one.
(16:25):
Oh yeah, it's there. It'slike thirty minutes from our B and
B and the what you called theguy from Shut Off the Dead the main
You mean the right, Simon Peggcomedian, Yeah, Simon peg Yeah,
so the guys at the End ofthe World or the movie with the with
(16:45):
the alien pub the pup. Yeah, there's a whole pop prol you can
do the Physicist all the pubs fromthe movie and they're all nearby. So
so we're thinking about doing that,not taking any alcoholic beverages. But this
is the least So we'll talk moreabout that when James. Jeames is driving
right now, and then when he'llhe'll join us. Yeah, yeah,
(17:08):
but yeah, I mean that's that'spretty cool. And then so the same
week though, you're going to uh, you're going to Brussels and then you're
gonna so is this a con orwhere what is this? It's a yeah,
it's a Brussels coomach. And theone thing is so I can actually
see Colonel Jack O'Neil's fans and thenI can tell him afterwards that I saw
(17:33):
his pact. That's true. Youget have a picture of me. I've
got your fans. Yeah, yeah, but probably also buy them for forty
five thousand dollars. Yeah, Ihave plenty of money now. But so
why are you gonna ask Leo whenyou see her? Not much. I
mean, it's a photo shoot andif it any it's anything to go by
(17:53):
with Palpatine, for example, Uh, you're gonna be shoved through, uh
like a little row and then it'sa one through three smile that you go,
yeah, and that's it. I'llprobably my Ghostbusters costume, so yeah,
okay, yeah, but I don'tknow what I can bring for her.
(18:14):
And it's just that I saw thatshe was there and she I like
back to the future I was on. Yeah, I already have a picture
with mechisci f Lloyd you do.Yeah, Oh that's great, Yeah,
send me a picture of that.Pretty cool. Yeah, and he was
he was pretty happy or stone.Yeah. Yeah, he's generally nice when
he was from the taxi days.Yeah, you know, but he was
(18:40):
very timid and very slow and maybejet like I don't know, but he
was likery like, I mean,he's a pretty old guy. I was
surprised. So I just barely foundout more about Leah recently that I mean,
because I've always said she's I mean, she's she's she's very I gotta
be careful how I see this.I'm a married guy. But at the
same time, I was like,I used to have a crush on her
(19:03):
when I was much younger, andand honestly, and I've seen things with
her recently even and stuff you wouldnever I didn't think she was as old
as she actually is. So youknow, this is her sixtieth birthday,
all right, so it's like,wow, I mean, she looks great
for sixty years. Some people justjust look naturally pretty pretty good. But
(19:30):
yeah, I one of the waysI was going to try and reach out
to her, one of the reasonsI was going to reach out to her.
And and because in my field,I deal a lot with Parkinson's that's
something that that I've been involved infor quite some time now. It's probably
that came out recently. Yeah,there is well, you know, it's
(19:52):
so so Michael J. Fox sayshas the Michael J. Fox Foundation,
which you know has Christopher Lloyd evenyou know, probably a lot of people
have seen that he did a documentarywhere he and another guy, uh went
and found got all the parts.They show where they got all the parts
to build the original Back to theFuture DeLorean and so Luke gwenton got all
(20:15):
the original parts. It's very it'sworthwhile seeing because they actually show literally there's
several places that go and they lookthey're like, I'm surprised nobody comes here
because it's so easy to access theseparts, you know, and there's there
are places that are kind of justdown the street. But at the same
time, so he went through andthey built one and then he signed it
afterwards and they auctioned it for thefoundation. But Leah, you know,
(20:40):
she's been involved in the Foundation fora little while now. And then in
case she didn't know, both ofher brothers have Parkinson's oh, so so
you know, and actually she's she'sgot a big part of it too,
and and so over time and thisyear particularly, uh, you know,
Back to the Future. Even thoughMichael J. Fox has made a lot
of different films you know that thatI love doc Hollywood and stuff like that.
(21:03):
Yeah, and he's and he's done, He's Dallas It's evil. Yeah,
you've also got you know, myfavorite show will Yeah, but especially
the one with Jason Bateman. That'sI I yeah, I mean he's made
a lot of different films. Youknow, he's been in a lot of
(21:25):
different TV shows and everything else atthe same time. Uh, you know,
Back in the Future has been kindof the big focus or or has
been has contributed largely to Parkinson's Foundationand for for treating Parkinson's. I think
a lot of people don't realize howhow severe the condition is and the fact,
(21:47):
I mean I could take ten people, uh that that I would see,
put him in the same room andthey all look completely different. You
know that there's so many different symptomsthat come with it, and it's just
it's a horrible uh it's and ithas you know, not not the best
research behind it and treatment yet andso so yeah, so so right now,
(22:10):
I mean there's a lot of thingsgoing on Back to the Future related
and and I probably you should askwhen you go to prop store. I
would bet you this some of theirprops because a lot of the stuff that
they sell it's actually for different foundationsor for you know, charities and things.
I wouldn't be surprised if some ofthose Back to the Future props are
actually for that cause. So kindof a big deal. But but I
(22:33):
do feel bad because I haven't watchedback in the Future this year, I
feel like I should have I feellike I should go back and watch these
I've been watching a lot of likelike making of like all the things that
you don't know, because Back inthe Future was a mess. I mean
making of that was it was sucha mess. It's so much drama and
(22:55):
so many things that happen. Meanliterally, they almost they pretty much made
the movie twice. Yeah, uh, first off, and then because Michael
J. Fax was also doing hewas technically doing is still not just his
family ties, but it was alsodoing another smaller movie while also having to
go at night and film for Backin the Future and and when you're that
(23:17):
age, because he was still forthe first one, he was still within
the range where the California has hislaws about how many hours you're allowed to
work, and so they had todo all these weird things to get around
Michael's schedule and to get things,you know, refilmed, and to film
new scenes. They had things thathe did they did a really cool job
(23:38):
about. Of course, there werethere were like lookalikes for some scenes,
but you would see him getting dressedin the in you would see a person
getting dressed in the outfit for familyties, for example, and then and
then he's like, okay, yousee his handshake, and then he just
takes the second takes bills and thenthey basically Fox also said that he became
(24:00):
an expert at timening his pills tomake sure that he would get the right
kick whenever he was doing it,and he had them in his pocket like
they were candies, so he couldhe could at the end he could pretty
fight tune that he could if hehad a ten minute scene, for example,
right take, but he could takethe pills just to make sure that
they could make the scene and thenjust go behind the scenes again and and
(24:22):
those up again. Well, hegot diagnosed during if he if you have
seen Doc Hollywood, that's when hefound out he had Parkinson's and he started
getting treated because it just out ofnowhere became really bad. And and of
course also also interposed scenes of youknow eighties videotape of Parkerson that showed like
rich the old people, which whichwere in was also quite core fun things
(24:47):
and looking at him it was like, yeah, I'm like in his twenteach
or something that happened, and hewas like, yeah, I'm an old
guy. If I'm on the topof the world. I can do everything,
but now this is you know,cutting me down and a lot of
the not all of course. Yeah, but it's a it's a really great
Apple TV. It's a really greatbucaventary. Oh yeah, it's pretty new.
Yeah, there's actually a couple thatare out there. Yeah, the
(25:08):
Apple TV one I watched not toolong ago. There's there's also a couple
of other ones that he did.He had a pretty good TV series that
came out not too long ago tothe city that was kind of surprised.
Yeah, yeah, spinc but youdid another one. Yeah, he did
okay on that during that time.Then they switched him out with who they
switched him with. It seems likethey switched the roll with a couple of
(25:30):
different But the cool things was thatthey showed, like zoom in's all actual
footage from Spence City or whatever whereif you didn't notice, you show his
handshake, for example, Oh yeah, that make it look like, okay,
this is everybody, it's this apparently. Yeah. It was already a
fair but always had certain movements thatthe kind of what allow him where people
(25:55):
would know. I mean, likeeven when he was a kid here.
Yeah, you know, this isa thing about movement disorders that can be
really subtle when they start up.But but I don't. I it's just
so it's so bizarre. You know, sometimes you have the making of something
can be more interesting than the actualmovies. And so I've been just watching
(26:18):
tons of these YouTube shows about youknow, all the stuff that happened,
the Crispin Glove and Glover stuff isactually super interesting and kind of funny.
You know. I point in timethat the fact that there's still shots that
have the other actor that was originallyMartin McFly that you can still see because
(26:40):
they didn't they didn't change those,uh. And the actors are the ones
that could figure it out because likeBiff, Biff, I think was one
of the ones I saw that identifiedseveral the scens where he's like, we
didn't really refilm that, or Ican tell because because of the angle of
the size that that was the otherguy and stuff. So yeah, the
guy playing has an actual song forhis fans because he's so tired of say
(27:04):
hey, but that he did.There's a song about make like a tree
and lea, Yeah, what doeshe say that he gets a wrong?
He says, oh, make makelike a tree, and but how does
he say it? He's saying itpretty dumb. Yet that was pretty good
though, you pick a tree andget out of here. It is only
(27:25):
I can't remember now. Yeah,I get it. I need to go
back to get out of here.Yeah, and get out of here.
Yeah. Well, my speaking ofwhat we're watching stuff, I mean,
this is just caterray episode guys,so people listening we are scaterrated at times.
Yeah, so good. But myson was three years old asked me
if he want if he could watchthe Ghost batch this movie with me.
(27:48):
Oh yeah, which is not reallya three year old stuff to I don't
know. I mean I have likethis like this. The stuff that wouldn't
match is probably would go over hishead, and that nothing within it was
too scary, Like it comes acrossenough where I think it's okay for for
kids that age. I don't knowtoo much, Abe, some of the
(28:12):
gooser stuff would get scary. Idon't know, but yeah, I mean
definitely not the real ghost question that'smore scary than the movie? Yeah?
Did there are a few that area little creepy yeah, yeah, like
the boogiey mats kind of stuff.Yeah yeah, but yeah, so the
red the red light over conversation isgoing all the thing. But yeah,
(28:33):
Back to the Future. There wasa colleague of mine actually told me next
week that his mother and father bothhave the birthdays off those two dates.
Yeah, as much the year,but the actual days of birth right were
there. So the movie they're like, dad, like they typed in my
(28:56):
name my birthday. Yeah yeah,But so what's your theory on the I
mean, you know, because thereis the whole multiverse thing these days,
they could and there's been some discussionabout as far as the because they are
working on a new Back to theFuture, are they the multi yep,
yep. Well so you know,there's already a lot of this kind of
(29:18):
gone on with that. But atthe same time multi verse wise, well
they are technically in the video gameit did it? Oh yeah? Yeah?
Well would you say, would yousay that when back when Michael J.
Fox went back, does he goback to his own universe? This
is a very brick and mortary kindof situation. I think they actually draw
(29:40):
it out in the in the moviewhat happens that the thank you well he
did the yeah he did the lineand on the board. But I mean,
like, think of the things thatwere different when he get went back.
That's not his universe. Like technicallyhis universe still exists. He's over
here. He's just replaced in anothermic area, another you know Marty right,
(30:02):
and he's formally missing in the originaluniverse because he never goes back.
Right right plus plus you had andthen you get into too two you get
another split off. You're right asfar as the future goes or the President,
I should say, you got theVegas version of the town and stuff.
Uh, there's a lot of cutscenes from that too. I got
to see recently that. I mean, it kind of gives more There's a
(30:26):
lot of storyline that you know,they did remove. I think it kind
of makes more sense. So Ithink you got Bitch Tennis Cusino play cards
somewhere. Oh really that's funny.Yeah, well that's pretty good. I
don't know. Man, they hadthe car too and off Burst that went
all over the place as well.Yeah, with the kids, so the
(30:48):
broad kids were doing stuff. TheTale Games game was pretty good, a
lot of puzzles, all of stuff. But I believe at one point they
also have like all the Marty's comeand ask if, buddy, if they
are assholes like that? But didyou ever play the Nintendo version of the
Back of the Future game? No, yeah, the Japanese one or the
(31:11):
normal one? No, No,I had I think it was just the
normal one. Yeah, the onethat basically they took four different popular games.
There were classic games, so theytook paper Boy, they took I'm
trying to think of what some ofthe other ones were. I mean literally
what they did is they just swappedout Marty, so Marty's on a skateboard
(31:33):
versus you know, the kid onthe bike doing the newspapers. Yeah,
there's you know, there was that, there was what were some of the
other things. I actually, oh, oh the scenes that were like a
spy hunter on the street, Likethere's so many things that literally just they
just kind of swapped the I don'tknow I remember that game, but I
(31:56):
actually liked that game. I hadthat. Uh, I think it was
for for Nintendo that I had that. That was a lot of one.
There's there's different ones because you havelike the pretty Ness like part one in
three, and they have they havelike the street levels, all the rooms
and all that kind of stuff.But it's also super Back to the Future
(32:19):
to which is a Japanese one whichhas a Chivy Marty on this overboard,
and that's pretty cool. That's prettycool as well. Yeah, to check
that. That's one of the better, better versions of the game. That's
a really cool game. I likethat. I think I did mention that
the fan Home thing that the caris pretty cool. I have purchased all
(32:43):
the mods for it. Okay,I actually have the red bumper like I
have one. You mention that,Yeah, you have the license I think
is cool on there that we've alreadyput on, although there's a switch out
part when the mods that you canget that I have, uh, fan
home one. Let me do iton the first video because the first video
they had to have me run itpast them and all this other stuff the
(33:05):
mods though, and they won't letme use third party stuff like the mod
is uh it makes it where thelicense plate is magnetic and they and they
have two metal versions of those placesthat are really nice. So I have
to both plates and then but whatI think was really cool is that you
have the registration stickers do you putonto the plate and they're like reflected,
(33:27):
they're fully just exactly like the realregistration stickers and you have put those on
there. I thought that was prettycool. There's I'm pretty excited about that
model. It is, and youknow the fact that I only have the
bumper and one of the sides andthey're already pretty heavy. This thing's this
(33:49):
big. How heavy is that suckergoing to be? It's going to be
pretty bad. But yeah, it'sone of the Yeah. Yeah. He
keep saying that there's something about thefuture where yeah, everything heavy. Yeah,
I this this episode. So thisis my current plan. I mean,
everybody, so this is us inthe past talking to people in the
(34:12):
future. You know, I don'tknow that this is going to come out
on Wednesday because something else is happeningon Wednesday here in the US, and
on that date, I have themaking of the behind the scenes for the
two Ghostbuster videos that we did,and so I made a film for that
(34:32):
and that will come out on thatday. So this might we might skip
a week and this will play comeout either in a week or two weeks.
This might be flip flopped. Evenwith the other one, we were
probably going to talk about talk aboutthe prop store first. So if you're
like, well, what are theytalking about with Back to the Future just
barely that was last month. Well, yeah, we recorded this earlier,
(34:55):
and so this is our time travelversion. Yeah. Also uh uh,
just for spoilers that or in caseyou already know because you saw the other
video with that, myself will bemeeting up in real life for the first
time ever. Oh yeah, that'sthat's true. Yeah, I'm gonna miss
(35:17):
out on that. We'll talk moreabout that and it. So, yeah,
you're right. They they might havereheard all this stuff and you're feeling
like it's redone it. It's allgood. But but yeah, we we
had a touch base before these guystook off. And also it's time travel.

You were now listening to the podcastfor Geeks and the Stuff they Love,
where each week we'll talk about everythingfrom anime to movies, games and prop
collecting, but the people who createand love it. I'm Jeremy, I'm
Vince, I'm James, and thisis your geek Mix. So this last
week, although there's a lot ofcontroversy right at the moment about this as
(00:22):
far as the exact date, butyou know, one of the things that
was listened last week bence as faras as far as anniversaries technically technically,
so technically it's a back to thefuture kind of a big back to the
future day last week. It's likethe date that they return to the present,
(00:45):
right right, right, Well,so that's the thing is, there's
two sets of dates that are outthere, but everybody seems to celebrate it
on the wrong date. I mean, it's not the date that he actually
went back, you know, thevery first day that he went back,
which is in October, right,But at the same time, it's yeah,
(01:07):
it's it's still regardless. It's kindof like the back of the Future
related dates. And you know,with this being how days I could go
there and chase the date all thedisplay if you like, there you go.
That's right, which you're gonna We'regonna be talking about that in detail
in another episode. But yeah,you guys are gonna be seeing the actual
but one of the consoles, Idon't know which which film console that was.
(01:30):
I think some of their stuff isback to beature two, right,
the problems because and everything, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think it's
I think it might be too,but either way, and please get some
detailed pictures of that because because I'vegot a project or two that I'm trying
to do that that would be reallyreally helpful with it used to hup like
(01:52):
that, mate, Yeah, youcan still get it. It's mostly stickers
though that are made to look likethe metal, like the kurrigate and metal.
But it's but it's still it's kindof cool. It lights up all
three levels and stuff. I knowa lot of people seem to have them
displayed with their models and stuff.I think they're Yeah, I had to
(02:13):
back the future video I did fairlyrecently related to the fan Home back to
the Future model and and of courseit's the only one that had problems with
actually of the fan Home things thatcame out recently, so so YouTube suppressed
it. You can easily find outnow, by the way, if if
(02:35):
they suppress the video, you canfind out if they suppressed your video or
or if they've or if they've whatdo they call it, where they were
they limited? Yeah, yeah,or they'll they'll throttle it is the other
term. And so you know,the first release of it got throttled,
So I deleted it because that's whatthey tell you to do, and in
(02:58):
contact the support, they don't.They don't just fix it. They say,
well, you can always delete itand re upload it. So that's
why I did delete it. Reuploaded it is the same thing happening.
So I think it's like like maybelike three hundred views on that, whereas
the he my newest fan home video, which is the Millennium Falcon now has
about seventy five thousand views. Sookay, I this dad, but still
(03:23):
but yeah, give a reason whyit gets troubled then, is right?
They kind of do. Actually,so these days it's hard because you know,
doing things like this where I'm collaborating, you know, they want you
to put a link in your description. Well, now links in comments or
descriptions are actually things that can getyou throttled or suppressed because they want to
(03:44):
make sure that they're not spamming peopleand stuff like that. I mean that
there's there's some good reasons behind it, but the downside is because it's being
done automatically, you know, thingshappen. But originally for that video,
I didn't put in in the end. They actually had cut out a couple
of things. And one of thethings I did was I went out to
one of our nearby cornfields and andused some special effects to make it look
(04:08):
as if you remember the end ofBack of the Future too, that there's
a scene where the DeLorean is flyingabove Marty. Uh, you know docks
in it. Uh, they've gotthe flags right that are caught that are
hanging down. He's at the signfor whis what's the name of the like
I think I asked you this beforetoo, what's the name of the location?
(04:30):
Where the where the houses? It'sa Lion's the state? Yeah,
that's it. That's it, Leedsthe state. Yeah yeah, And uh
so you stand at the bottom ofthe sign. So I went out and
filmed some stuff and and had mydaughter and my son to assist me so
that we could fake basically that scenewith the postman, only instead of him
bringing me a letter, he broughtme a fan home box and and then
(04:55):
and then having you know, andit happened to also be storming and stuff
and rainings. It was perfect timing. We filmed it a golden hour,
So if you can do night timefilming, it's best to do it at
golden hour, just you know,those the time where the sun's gone down
but it's still light outside, orthe sun's about to come up and it's
light outside so there's no shadows andthings, and then you just turn down
the tent and add a little bitof a blue tint and it makes it
(05:17):
look really cool. But at thesame time, so yeah, I mean,
I love Back to the Future andthe fact that that came out recently.
But but we were we were startingto talk a little bit before we
came on online about Leya that you'rewho you're gonna be meeting, not Lea
from Star Wars. We're talking aboutbut it's gonna be a bit beyond my
(05:41):
Ghosts player to compact old Leyah.Yeah, she'll talk to you about your
uh yeah, I know this.She'll talk to you about your underwear.
That's something Demily comment on and thingslike that as a kind of band thing.
Uh, you know, I shallstill make a comment stuff because uh
(06:01):
yeah Marty, Marty McFly, where'sYeah, where's Colvin Klein? You know,
she has some kind of famous oneliners and things. I was thinking
about this yesterday though. Was shein? People are gonna think I'm stupid
for thinking this, But honestly,until yesterday, I was driving back and
I was thinking about the three filmsand in about this conversation, and I
(06:27):
was like, wait a minute,is she in the third movie? I
didn't have the girlfriend got replaced,right, Well, they switched to girlfriends
in in two, and she wasin in three. But then but mom
mom was in two, right,she played in playing herself as an old
woman as well as her current age. But you know when they went back
(06:49):
in time, Marty's you know,great, great, she's there, La
Ray McFly, Oh she was,okay, yeah, I don't know.
I couldn't remember. I remember,yeah, because he plays he plays his
own grandfather, right or a greatgreat grandfather or whatever he is supposed to
be stuff. So yeah, okay, yeah, which is funny. Yeah,
(07:15):
it's the same thing. With withdata and Star Trek like every song
grandfather, father, parent, it'sjust it's always yeah, but that's funny.
I mean it is. It isa nice troke that you can have
and also makes it makes fans foryounger children to under stand out that's his
granddad because they look the same withye. Also, it's always surprised me
(07:39):
that he actually played Richard his wholefamily and back to the chitchen good.
Oh yeah, and this was ata time you know, I watched I
think Corn Crew talked about her recently. The fact that it's it's so hard
these days to think about special factsthat seemed like they weren't that long ago,
even though it was a long timeago. Now it makes me feel
(08:01):
old because I was actually an adultby the time that third Mood. But
at the same time, uh,you know, those effects it was it
wasn't like we can do it soeasily today. So you know, true,
they already had the dollies that couldbe automated, and so you could
you could actually program it to runthe exact same camera shot more than once
(08:24):
and then and then film the sameperson playing different roles and stuff. But
on the flip side, there wereseveral things in there there were atypical.
The other thing, it was aspecial effect had to do with his dad.
Do you know what that is?Yeah, well he was fine with
with the This is a big controversy. Oh yeah, yeah, because his
(08:48):
because his dad of course in intwo wasn't played by the same actor,
but grisping Christ Yeah, yeah,yeah, you can. You can go
on line and watch him. He'ssuch a weird guy. I mean,
he is a truly bizarre person.Uh you know he can yeah, yeah,
(09:13):
he's definitely, i mean, veryeccentric and stuff, and he's very
he has very strong opinions. Uh. Is that that led to him not
being in in part two? Andthen the reason why he was so upset
was because for for one, theydid a death mask of him, which
is what you you know, deathmaster used to be used in the old
(09:35):
days to be able to kind ofkeep a record of what you look like
in life beforehand. But now youknow, they we use those also to
make uh, prosthetics or movies,and so you know, the mask and
then yeah, and then they'll youknow, build up things out of that's
how we make, you know,those the masks that they'll put onto them
different makeup jobs, and so theyused the mass that they had from one
(10:01):
to basically create a fake face foranother actor to to have for two.
So he is not in two theguy that's hanging upside down and things like
that that is actually another actor.And then they also did some comped shots
from from one, and so chrispCrispin Glover got really upset about this,
(10:22):
made a big deal about it.And it's actually because of that and lawsuits
that resulted from it, that somelaws were changed in relation to what movies
can use as far as somebody's imagegoes. If they're going to use his
likeness, that he should be compensatedat least or at least get the credit.
(10:43):
Well, this was discussion that wehave now. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, I remember there was somecommercial one of the very first things I
think that came out that had todo with using special effects to basically still
previous filmed stuff. I think itwas Sinatra or somebody that they had.
(11:07):
They they took one of their filmsand then they superimposed a vacuum cleaner as
I remember it was, and itwas a vacuum commercial and uh and so
and had them dancing around with thisvacuum cleaner. Well, Chris, a
person is dead. They didn't consent, or maybe they don't even like vacuums.
I don't know, but you know, maybe their family. Yeah,
(11:31):
and so you know it was technicallythey so they only paid the studio rights.
They didn't pay for his you know, his image, and so that
I remember that was around the sameera that this all happened. And so
and yeah, like you said,I mean, now with all the changes
in all the new advances, thisis an even bigger thing. But yeah,
yeah, kind of kind of aninteresting aspect about part two. Yeah,
(11:58):
but yeah, also all be meetingthis weekend or next weekend, I
mean, at least to the bigweek for you man, it's gonna be
a tires week. So November fourth, for the record, I'll be in
Brussels and I'll be meeting mcguither soRichard Dean And yeah he's not just mcguiver
though either. I mean he's no, he's Colonel Jack Nill yeah, or
(12:22):
general or admiral or whatever that hewas at the end. I'm a big
Stargate fan, s G Y andalso all the other stuff. Yeah,
I actually went Atlantis was still onI and one of my questions came into
the pool where they would actually askthe actress. Uh yeah, yeah,
so one of them, this isa question from Vincent from the Little Girl.
(12:43):
That's really cool. Cool. Yeah. Yeah, So that was when
Atlantis was still going live. Youcould actually send them stop be a Gate
world. That was a while ago. I mean that was yeah. Yeah,
it was great television. I meanI watched it through. Yeah,
if you had to compare, Iknow this is a jump from technically I've
(13:05):
got a fever today and stuff.I will tell you in advance that I'm
gonna be all over the place bythe flip site if you have to compare,
What do you think the movie versusTV series? Personally, I always
thought the series was better, ButI think the movie vibe was really cool
(13:28):
because it's an isolated thing and youdon't really know about it, so it's
like it starts off or we findsomething, and then all of a sudden
it breaks the world open and there'smore to be ad like historically and everything,
Stargate goes deep into that. Butthen you know at the end,
they're like, oh, we're gonnado Atlantis. Oh we're gonna do the
(13:48):
Vikings, the Christianity and then likethe last ones like Star Trek Galaxy or
I was the one with the withthe ship that they were trapped on.
It was like, hey there wasthere was a spin off that came after
(14:09):
Atlantis. Sorry, Stargate see startfor Uh, it's kind of Star Trek
though it hasse did have several Ibelieve, Or it's a game. Yeah,
well what's it called again? No, it was called Stargate Universe.
Uh, and it is about aspace ship that they find and they just
(14:35):
get trapped on that and it startsto watch itself towards the place that they
don't know and then a lot ofstuff breaks out. But it was really
bad acting for actors that could havedone better, I believe because later on
they were way better in other series. But they Yeah, they were quite
cliche in that one. And didit beat a lout with the movies,
Like there were like three movies thatcame out after as she wanted it was
(14:58):
all all the all those were doneuniversal studios where they think that was Canada.
Oh they were, Oh, Ididn't know that, because that's that's
every time they visited. It waseither a forest or like yeah. I
think it was Universal Pictures though thatmade it, isn't it? And gym
(15:20):
that way off what they got bankruptso they had to Yeah, what's the
studio got bankrupt? They stopped doingtarget stuff. I was I was totally
at the peak and we watched itreligiously. So I want to see it
in I also want to see sometarget stuff at rupt store, which will
be going on the second there throughsome stuff there. Yeah, from Stargate
(15:41):
as well, and you know everyday they keep releasing things that you know,
I'm like wow, uh yeah,so there's so many. If you
request too much stuff, it's like, oh well, because if you look
at the tube page, they alreadyhave it in shells and everything. Oh
that's cool. So so I thinkwe'll make the most out of it.
(16:03):
Yeah, also looking at stuff inthe neighborhood, of course, if you
can do something so that. Thefine thing is props are located in the
area of England where a lot ofstudios are, but means a lot of
movies were shot nearby, because they'reof course chief locages to shoot. Oh
yeah, so so one of themis probably the Nabu Forest from episode one.
(16:25):
Oh yeah, it's there. It'slike thirty minutes from our B and
B and the what you called theguy from Shut Off the Dead the main
You mean the right, Simon Peggcomedian, Yeah, Simon peg Yeah,
so the guys at the End ofthe World or the movie with the with
(16:45):
the alien pub the pup. Yeah, there's a whole pop prol you can
do the Physicist all the pubs fromthe movie and they're all nearby. So
so we're thinking about doing that,not taking any alcoholic beverages. But this
is the least So we'll talk moreabout that when James. Jeames is driving
right now, and then when he'llhe'll join us. Yeah, yeah,
(17:08):
but yeah, I mean that's that'spretty cool. And then so the same
week though, you're going to uh, you're going to Brussels and then you're
gonna so is this a con orwhere what is this? It's a yeah,
it's a Brussels coomach. And theone thing is so I can actually
see Colonel Jack O'Neil's fans and thenI can tell him afterwards that I saw
(17:33):
his pact. That's true. Youget have a picture of me. I've
got your fans. Yeah, yeah, but probably also buy them for forty
five thousand dollars. Yeah, Ihave plenty of money now. But so
why are you gonna ask Leo whenyou see her? Not much. I
mean, it's a photo shoot andif it any it's anything to go by
(17:53):
with Palpatine, for example, Uh, you're gonna be shoved through, uh
like a little row and then it'sa one through three smile that you go,
yeah, and that's it. I'llprobably my Ghostbusters costume, so yeah,
okay, yeah, but I don'tknow what I can bring for her.
(18:14):
And it's just that I saw thatshe was there and she I like
back to the future I was on. Yeah, I already have a picture
with mechisci f Lloyd you do.Yeah, Oh that's great, Yeah,
send me a picture of that.Pretty cool. Yeah, and he was
he was pretty happy or stone.Yeah. Yeah, he's generally nice when
he was from the taxi days.Yeah, you know, but he was
(18:40):
very timid and very slow and maybejet like I don't know, but he
was likery like, I mean,he's a pretty old guy. I was
surprised. So I just barely foundout more about Leah recently that I mean,
because I've always said she's I mean, she's she's she's very I gotta
be careful how I see this.I'm a married guy. But at the
same time, I was like,I used to have a crush on her
(19:03):
when I was much younger, andand honestly, and I've seen things with
her recently even and stuff you wouldnever I didn't think she was as old
as she actually is. So youknow, this is her sixtieth birthday,
all right, so it's like,wow, I mean, she looks great
for sixty years. Some people justjust look naturally pretty pretty good. But
(19:30):
yeah, I one of the waysI was going to try and reach out
to her, one of the reasonsI was going to reach out to her.
And and because in my field,I deal a lot with Parkinson's that's
something that that I've been involved infor quite some time now. It's probably
that came out recently. Yeah,there is well, you know, it's
(19:52):
so so Michael J. Fox sayshas the Michael J. Fox Foundation,
which you know has Christopher Lloyd evenyou know, probably a lot of people
have seen that he did a documentarywhere he and another guy, uh went
and found got all the parts.They show where they got all the parts
to build the original Back to theFuture DeLorean and so Luke gwenton got all
(20:15):
the original parts. It's very it'sworthwhile seeing because they actually show literally there's
several places that go and they lookthey're like, I'm surprised nobody comes here
because it's so easy to access theseparts, you know, and there's there
are places that are kind of justdown the street. But at the same
time, so he went through andthey built one and then he signed it
afterwards and they auctioned it for thefoundation. But Leah, you know,
(20:40):
she's been involved in the Foundation fora little while now. And then in
case she didn't know, both ofher brothers have Parkinson's oh, so so
you know, and actually she's she'sgot a big part of it too,
and and so over time and thisyear particularly, uh, you know,
Back to the Future. Even thoughMichael J. Fox has made a lot
of different films you know that thatI love doc Hollywood and stuff like that.
(21:03):
Yeah, and he's and he's done, He's Dallas It's evil. Yeah,
you've also got you know, myfavorite show will Yeah, but especially
the one with Jason Bateman. That'sI I yeah, I mean he's made
a lot of different films. Youknow, he's been in a lot of
(21:25):
different TV shows and everything else atthe same time. Uh, you know,
Back in the Future has been kindof the big focus or or has
been has contributed largely to Parkinson's Foundationand for for treating Parkinson's. I think
a lot of people don't realize howhow severe the condition is and the fact,
(21:47):
I mean I could take ten people, uh that that I would see,
put him in the same room andthey all look completely different. You
know that there's so many different symptomsthat come with it, and it's just
it's a horrible uh it's and ithas you know, not not the best
research behind it and treatment yet andso so yeah, so so right now,
(22:10):
I mean there's a lot of thingsgoing on Back to the Future related
and and I probably you should askwhen you go to prop store. I
would bet you this some of theirprops because a lot of the stuff that
they sell it's actually for different foundationsor for you know, charities and things.
I wouldn't be surprised if some ofthose Back to the Future props are
actually for that cause. So kindof a big deal. But but I
(22:33):
do feel bad because I haven't watchedback in the Future this year, I
feel like I should have I feellike I should go back and watch these
I've been watching a lot of likelike making of like all the things that
you don't know, because Back inthe Future was a mess. I mean
making of that was it was sucha mess. It's so much drama and
(22:55):
so many things that happen. Meanliterally, they almost they pretty much made
the movie twice. Yeah, uh, first off, and then because Michael
J. Fax was also doing hewas technically doing is still not just his
family ties, but it was alsodoing another smaller movie while also having to
go at night and film for Backin the Future and and when you're that
(23:17):
age, because he was still forthe first one, he was still within
the range where the California has hislaws about how many hours you're allowed to
work, and so they had todo all these weird things to get around
Michael's schedule and to get things,you know, refilmed, and to film
new scenes. They had things thathe did they did a really cool job
(23:38):
about. Of course, there werethere were like lookalikes for some scenes,
but you would see him getting dressedin the in you would see a person
getting dressed in the outfit for familyties, for example, and then and
then he's like, okay, yousee his handshake, and then he just
takes the second takes bills and thenthey basically Fox also said that he became
(24:00):
an expert at timening his pills tomake sure that he would get the right
kick whenever he was doing it,and he had them in his pocket like
they were candies, so he couldhe could at the end he could pretty
fight tune that he could if hehad a ten minute scene, for example,
right take, but he could takethe pills just to make sure that
they could make the scene and thenjust go behind the scenes again and and
(24:22):
those up again. Well, hegot diagnosed during if he if you have
seen Doc Hollywood, that's when hefound out he had Parkinson's and he started
getting treated because it just out ofnowhere became really bad. And and of
course also also interposed scenes of youknow eighties videotape of Parkerson that showed like
rich the old people, which whichwere in was also quite core fun things
(24:47):
and looking at him it was like, yeah, I'm like in his twenteach
or something that happened, and hewas like, yeah, I'm an old
guy. If I'm on the topof the world. I can do everything,
but now this is you know,cutting me down and a lot of
the not all of course. Yeah, but it's a it's a really great
Apple TV. It's a really greatbucaventary. Oh yeah, it's pretty new.
Yeah, there's actually a couple thatare out there. Yeah, the
(25:08):
Apple TV one I watched not toolong ago. There's there's also a couple
of other ones that he did.He had a pretty good TV series that
came out not too long ago tothe city that was kind of surprised.
Yeah, yeah, spinc but youdid another one. Yeah, he did
okay on that during that time.Then they switched him out with who they
switched him with. It seems likethey switched the roll with a couple of
(25:30):
different But the cool things was thatthey showed, like zoom in's all actual
footage from Spence City or whatever whereif you didn't notice, you show his
handshake, for example, Oh yeah, that make it look like, okay,
this is everybody, it's this apparently. Yeah. It was already a
fair but always had certain movements thatthe kind of what allow him where people
(25:55):
would know. I mean, likeeven when he was a kid here.
Yeah, you know, this isa thing about movement disorders that can be
really subtle when they start up.But but I don't. I it's just
so it's so bizarre. You know, sometimes you have the making of something
can be more interesting than the actualmovies. And so I've been just watching
(26:18):
tons of these YouTube shows about youknow, all the stuff that happened,
the Crispin Glove and Glover stuff isactually super interesting and kind of funny.
You know. I point in timethat the fact that there's still shots that
have the other actor that was originallyMartin McFly that you can still see because
(26:40):
they didn't they didn't change those,uh. And the actors are the ones
that could figure it out because likeBiff, Biff, I think was one
of the ones I saw that identifiedseveral the scens where he's like, we
didn't really refilm that, or Ican tell because because of the angle of
the size that that was the otherguy and stuff. So yeah, the
guy playing has an actual song forhis fans because he's so tired of say
(27:04):
hey, but that he did.There's a song about make like a tree
and lea, Yeah, what doeshe say that he gets a wrong?
He says, oh, make makelike a tree, and but how does
he say it? He's saying itpretty dumb. Yet that was pretty good
though, you pick a tree andget out of here. It is only
(27:25):
I can't remember now. Yeah,I get it. I need to go
back to get out of here.Yeah, and get out of here.
Yeah. Well, my speaking ofwhat we're watching stuff, I mean,
this is just caterray episode guys,so people listening we are scaterrated at times.
Yeah, so good. But myson was three years old asked me
if he want if he could watchthe Ghost batch this movie with me.
(27:48):
Oh yeah, which is not reallya three year old stuff to I don't
know. I mean I have likethis like this. The stuff that wouldn't
match is probably would go over hishead, and that nothing within it was
too scary, Like it comes acrossenough where I think it's okay for for
kids that age. I don't knowtoo much, Abe, some of the
(28:12):
gooser stuff would get scary. Idon't know, but yeah, I mean
definitely not the real ghost question that'smore scary than the movie? Yeah?
Did there are a few that area little creepy yeah, yeah, like
the boogiey mats kind of stuff.Yeah yeah, but yeah, so the
red the red light over conversation isgoing all the thing. But yeah,
(28:33):
Back to the Future. There wasa colleague of mine actually told me next
week that his mother and father bothhave the birthdays off those two dates.
Yeah, as much the year,but the actual days of birth right were
there. So the movie they're like, dad, like they typed in my
(28:56):
name my birthday. Yeah yeah,But so what's your theory on the I
mean, you know, because thereis the whole multiverse thing these days,
they could and there's been some discussionabout as far as the because they are
working on a new Back to theFuture, are they the multi yep,
yep. Well so you know,there's already a lot of this kind of
(29:18):
gone on with that. But atthe same time multi verse wise, well
they are technically in the video gameit did it? Oh yeah? Yeah?
Well would you say, would yousay that when back when Michael J.
Fox went back, does he goback to his own universe? This
is a very brick and mortary kindof situation. I think they actually draw
(29:40):
it out in the in the moviewhat happens that the thank you well he
did the yeah he did the lineand on the board. But I mean,
like, think of the things thatwere different when he get went back.
That's not his universe. Like technicallyhis universe still exists. He's over
here. He's just replaced in anothermic area, another you know Marty right,
(30:02):
and he's formally missing in the originaluniverse because he never goes back.
Right right plus plus you had andthen you get into too two you get
another split off. You're right asfar as the future goes or the President,
I should say, you got theVegas version of the town and stuff.
Uh, there's a lot of cutscenes from that too. I got
to see recently that. I mean, it kind of gives more There's a
(30:26):
lot of storyline that you know,they did remove. I think it kind
of makes more sense. So Ithink you got Bitch Tennis Cusino play cards
somewhere. Oh really that's funny.Yeah, well that's pretty good. I
don't know. Man, they hadthe car too and off Burst that went
all over the place as well.Yeah, with the kids, so the
(30:48):
broad kids were doing stuff. TheTale Games game was pretty good, a
lot of puzzles, all of stuff. But I believe at one point they
also have like all the Marty's comeand ask if, buddy, if they
are assholes like that? But didyou ever play the Nintendo version of the
Back of the Future game? No, yeah, the Japanese one or the
(31:11):
normal one? No, No,I had I think it was just the
normal one. Yeah, the onethat basically they took four different popular games.
There were classic games, so theytook paper Boy, they took I'm
trying to think of what some ofthe other ones were. I mean literally
what they did is they just swappedout Marty, so Marty's on a skateboard
(31:33):
versus you know, the kid onthe bike doing the newspapers. Yeah,
there's you know, there was that, there was what were some of the
other things. I actually, oh, oh the scenes that were like a
spy hunter on the street, Likethere's so many things that literally just they
just kind of swapped the I don'tknow I remember that game, but I
(31:56):
actually liked that game. I hadthat. Uh, I think it was
for for Nintendo that I had that. That was a lot of one.
There's there's different ones because you havelike the pretty Ness like part one in
three, and they have they havelike the street levels, all the rooms
and all that kind of stuff.But it's also super Back to the Future
(32:19):
to which is a Japanese one whichhas a Chivy Marty on this overboard,
and that's pretty cool. That's prettycool as well. Yeah, to check
that. That's one of the better, better versions of the game. That's
a really cool game. I likethat. I think I did mention that
the fan Home thing that the caris pretty cool. I have purchased all
(32:43):
the mods for it. Okay,I actually have the red bumper like I
have one. You mention that,Yeah, you have the license I think
is cool on there that we've alreadyput on, although there's a switch out
part when the mods that you canget that I have, uh, fan
home one. Let me do iton the first video because the first video
they had to have me run itpast them and all this other stuff the
(33:05):
mods though, and they won't letme use third party stuff like the mod
is uh it makes it where thelicense plate is magnetic and they and they
have two metal versions of those placesthat are really nice. So I have
to both plates and then but whatI think was really cool is that you
have the registration stickers do you putonto the plate and they're like reflected,
(33:27):
they're fully just exactly like the realregistration stickers and you have put those on
there. I thought that was prettycool. There's I'm pretty excited about that
model. It is, and youknow the fact that I only have the
bumper and one of the sides andthey're already pretty heavy. This thing's this
(33:49):
big. How heavy is that suckergoing to be? It's going to be
pretty bad. But yeah, it'sone of the Yeah. Yeah. He
keep saying that there's something about thefuture where yeah, everything heavy. Yeah,
I this this episode. So thisis my current plan. I mean,
everybody, so this is us inthe past talking to people in the
(34:12):
future. You know, I don'tknow that this is going to come out
on Wednesday because something else is happeningon Wednesday here in the US, and
on that date, I have themaking of the behind the scenes for the
two Ghostbuster videos that we did,and so I made a film for that
(34:32):
and that will come out on thatday. So this might we might skip
a week and this will play comeout either in a week or two weeks.
This might be flip flopped. Evenwith the other one, we were
probably going to talk about talk aboutthe prop store first. So if you're
like, well, what are theytalking about with Back to the Future just
barely that was last month. Well, yeah, we recorded this earlier,
(34:55):
and so this is our time travelversion. Yeah. Also uh uh,
just for spoilers that or in caseyou already know because you saw the other
video with that, myself will bemeeting up in real life for the first
time ever. Oh yeah, that'sthat's true. Yeah, I'm gonna miss
(35:17):
out on that. We'll talk moreabout that and it. So, yeah,
you're right. They they might havereheard all this stuff and you're feeling
like it's redone it. It's allgood. But but yeah, we we
had a touch base before these guystook off. And also it's time travel.
