In this episode we tried to make a better Minecraft Movie. From the script to the music, to the actors. To make it more difficult, we also added some random factors using dice, coins, and AI. This is no ordinary game play or review story time, this is real life pitch meeting. Can we make a real life Minecraft movie with Nicolas Cage and Scarlett Johansson, with music by Randy Newman.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You were now listening to the podcast for Geeks and
the Stuff they Love, where each week we'll talk about
everything from anime to movies, games and prop collecting with
the people who create and love it. I'm Jeremy, I'm Vince,
I'm James, and bitch is Steve. So here's the big question.
Have you seen the Minecraft movie?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
No?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Yes, I have.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Have you did you watch it all the way through? No?
Speaker 3 (00:25):
I go up halfway yet? Yes, I watched it with ye.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I started it several times. You didn't carege of it?
Speaker 4 (00:34):
No?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I it just got too much? Was half of it?
Speaker 5 (00:42):
You was scared halfway three?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
The other time I literally fell asleep during it. I
like fell asleep the mart recent time, I fell asleep
during it because I was like, Okay, now it's on streaming,
sure I'll watch it, and it like put me out. Uh,
And it's not necessarily I'm like, what's the movie? It
used to put me out? Every time? I literally would
use it to fall as Oh, Joe Dirt. I used
(01:05):
to watch Dirt to fall asleep because guarantee, for some
reason I would fall asleep. It's not a bad movie,
it's just for some reason I would constantly I would
fall asleep to that one. Then you watched Joe Dirt too,
and it did the same thing to me.
Speaker 6 (01:17):
I think the Moncraft movie has a lot of flaws.
We obviously it's the same argument as always, like it's
a good movie, like you're not supposed to think too
much into it, etcetera.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
But I don't know.
Speaker 6 (01:27):
I just think there are some some things just like
completely unnecessary. The plot suddenly happens because it has to happen.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yeah, it felt forced. It felt like they had all
these all these ip things that they had to stick in. Yeah,
and I didn't watch that long, so it felt in
that amount of time, it felt like they were just cramming, like, oh,
we got to get this in there, we gotta get
that in there. You got to mention this and stuff.
That was part of what turned me off. But I
feel like we can do it better.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
So I have same body talk as Jack Black. So
I'm fine, You're gonna be Steve.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
I I think, you know. So, I mean I do
have a little bit of history with this. You know,
this is kind of what.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
I U so.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I used to do, uh what they call I was
a screen analyst, a script analyst, and I was also
a script doctor. This is kind of closer to script doctoring. Uh,
an actual doctor, right, that's right, well, you know before
I became yeah, before that, but yeah, script doctoring literally
what you're doing is you're taking a script that they
that they purchased or they're considering, and then you do
(02:31):
what they call punch up work, so you basically make
a better or you try to add humor to it,
things like that, and so the Micraft movie, you know,
or turning it into something better. Yeah, I want I wonder,
I wonder what the initial script was. I wonder if
they came up with first that they wanted to make
a movie and they want to sell a bunch of stuff,
or if it was a thing where somebody actually had
(02:51):
a good script and then they were like let's stick it,
you know, like the Joker the second the newer Joker
movie where they're like, you know, they had a script
and they're like, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
But the act we don't like money.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Just the musician, Yeah, we don't like many and the
musician that's gonna be in it, uh lots to do
musical instead. I guess that's how we're gonna rewrite it.
Speaker 7 (03:11):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
But any rate. So, so yeah, I think I think
what we're gonna do, we're gonna come up with We're
gonna do some punch up work. We're gonna come up
with a better Minecraft movie. But we're also gonna we're
also gonna mix it up a little bit. We're gonna
make this a little more difficult because we won't be
in control of some of the factors. Both James and
(03:31):
Bence have some die on them. I meant to have
a coin on me. I don't have it on me.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I stole it from my son and he was very
angry that brought it upstairs because he was trying to
play a board game.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
You shoved the whole bull game off the table, took
the die.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Oh, I have to do a polkas. It's like the
King of Quarters And you know that the documentary by
Donkey Kong.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Oh oh about Donkey Kong.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah yeah, yeh yeah yeah. So so the guy was
doing his world record on the tape. There was like
this this kid saying, daddy, Daddy might might bum and
the guys.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Say, no, Daddy's playing Donkey Kong.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
It's the same thing with the dye, Like, no, Daddy's
doing a podcast.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
This is not make a movie about that.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
We're making Micraft great again.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
We're gonna use We're gonna use We're gonna use die.
We're also gonna use a coin if I can find him.
Unless guys have a coin of some sort, we can.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Results.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I mean, oh we could, we could do Yeah, we
could do odds and evens. Let's do that.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I have so many coins one.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Oh, there you go. We just we just need we
just need a heads or tail situation. But we could.
We can do odds or evens with the die too.
That works too. So working for me using some randomization
will also be throwing out some different things. And at
the very end there's a chance that uh, I might
try to improv something that Yeah, just have to wait
(05:02):
for that so we can see how that goes. Hoping
for the best with that any rate. So the first
question is this, though, is the aesthetic should it look like?
And I do want to share this here? Let me
share my screen window. Oh I can look at that
(05:22):
share Oh yeah, single player, that's productor it says there
we go up. Hey, new world world name, let's leave
it new World. We're gonna be sur I'm gonna call
it I don't. No, Yeah, what should we do? Which mode?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
It's funny than survival because you could go gooor even a.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Well, So here's this is one of the questions that
we're gonna be answering. So first off, the aesthetic. Should
it look like Minecraft looks right, locks and stuff like that,
or should we do a live version.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Animation or live action?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Right right?
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Should it should not like the Jack Black version of
live action? I mean, like like it looks no different
the real world. And the thing that I think about
that that is I think it should also start the
way that Minecraft actually starts. So basically the beginning is
you're just like waking up or appearing in this place.
(06:28):
You don't know what's going on. You know, there's nothing
this there. If it was real life version, like you
also wouldn't know initially this Minecraft, you'd start picking up
on it. Maybe that's seems just start.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah, no, I always do that.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, I yeah. Again,
how much crossover do you want? Do you want it
to be exactly the same uh as far as the
way it functions or it appears, or are you doing
something that's essentially based on it? You know, would be better.
(07:02):
What's your what's your thought? Like if you if guys
had a pick, what do you think it should be?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
It would be fun if it was like, uh, stuff
in Minecraft affecting real life like okay, so so, but
but more more grounded basically, so it would be some
some sort of mystical stuff happening.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Like maybe the main character like plays Minecraft and then
things in real life are changing based on what he
does in Minecraft. Yeah, built the house the house.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah, yeah, like whenever he built something out of redstone,
it happens in real life.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
That's a pretty good one. Okay, we'll call that. We'll
call that one.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
What do you.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
I was gonna say, like real life but with like
certain Minecraft logic. So I do think that the way
that they implemented it was interesting. Like I'm just trying
to think, like if you were to, like if you have.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Vines, like to.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
Be to actually be able to climb up the vines
or I don't know, to do like bladder stalling or
you know, stuff sort of like that, I think that'll
be interesting.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
What about kind of stuff where you can float up
into the air and well, that.
Speaker 8 (08:27):
Would be ideal, but that's how Yeah, I mean like, yeah,
I like, what what if the real world ended up
being Minecraft and we're just in a little kid playing
on the server kind of deal.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Oh yeah, you said that.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
And the first thing that came to mind was like
a horror episode of some sort of TV show where
we turn into blocks like it was just.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Blocked slowly becoming.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
That, and you're like, oh, Cronenberg body or thing where.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Everything still the cubes, like I would watch that and.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
They tried, they tried to call the number, but their
fingers start turningto blocks.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Like the hot Dog world and uh, everything around ear
all at once. Yeah, that's pretty good though, Okay, I
I think I mean the other factor that we get
we're going to get into a genre, so we'll get
into like are we talking in comedy before or whatever else,
but read the moment. So just as far as like
aesthetics go, we're going more real or are we going
(09:32):
more cartoony?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
And so far it's like off the dead kind of
horror thing, like all of a sudden, creepers turning up
out of your toilet or something like that.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Okay, and you start out really unaware that it's happening
around you.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
You just see like pixelated puffs of smoke on the
horizon and you see buildings just turning into blocks. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
The sheep just suddenly in your in your little village
suddenly start say in your.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Bedroom because you you you put your bed on a spall.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Point, you accidentally you accidentally catch your cat on fire
and stuff like that. Okay, I said there's a love
that you could do, like horrors. Yeah, yeah, I mean yeah,
there's several genres you can kind of pick from, which
would be, yeah, horror, you can do comedy, you can
(10:27):
do combo, those two. Even you can do something that
that's you mentioned documentary and one of our other recorded
I mean, you could do something that has that uh
what's what's the name of the old the movie that
they made, the witch uh.
Speaker 9 (10:45):
Witch Project, No, the you know the they all the
horror movies that came out in the early nineties to
appear as if there're a documentary film Witch Project.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah Blair Witch. Yeah, Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I would like when you said doctor in three, I
was thinking more District nine sorts of thing.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Oh yeah, that was interesting. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
The block people get blocked off and they have to
rebel making cool stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Yeah, the people through the postal. Yeah, yeah, like the
one back rooms thing where you're basically like yeah, like.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Like what's the definitely cry anime.
Speaker 10 (11:26):
That's a bit more Yeah, yeah, where where where the
people from Hell are escaping from Hell?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Maybe a bit too dark form micer that.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
But I mean on the flip side, Yeah, you got
all the Winni the Pooh stuff and everything else coming
out lately. I mean yeah, yeah, the third one now
they really they've done two of them and Popeye is
the new one that's coming out really Popeye. Oh you
(11:57):
haven't seen that? Oh yeah, Popeye? Murderer, uh yeah, serial killer,
but Revenge I think I think the reveal. The benefit
if you go with something that's that's real, is that, yeah,
you could have these little elements where people are picking
up on them like oh yeah, hey this is definitely
(12:21):
that's what we're what we're doing, and you can do
kind of a twist thing.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Kevin Spacey like GPS, which is like he is, Yeah,
he's like a believable alien.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Spacy movie.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I like that one.
Speaker 10 (12:36):
I like Kate maybe something that like like a guy
just doing weird stuff like Bunch increas in real life,
but he's actually playing Minecraft, but he's like he has
like a dimensional disconnect between real life and what's in Like.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
So maybe there's something so like somebody on the outside
of the world is playing the game and is unaware
of the reality of what's on the inside, and you're
watching it from the inside. Yeah thing, Oh that's good.
I like that. All right, So.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Let's go again and same as our world name. I
don't know, okay.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
So between those two James and Vinz's ideas, first off,
should it be real life or should be cartoon? The
other thing I pitched about the real life party that
makes it good? That ruined the Minecraft movie. I feel
like is there's no if it seems unreal, you're not
invested because you know nothing bad can really happen to
(13:33):
the people, Like if you're gonna be invested knowing that
something bad could really happen, or you know there's some
reality to it. I think that also helps.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
One thing that was a pretty cool idea, which is
a Final Fantasy fourteen. It's called it's an actual movie
called Dead of Light in which a guy is using
Final Fantasy to connect to his estranged father and he
figures out that he's playing this game, so he plays
a lot with him to join his guild and everything
to connect again with his strange father.
Speaker 10 (14:04):
Oh that's a pretty that's a pretty cool movie to watch,
But that would be a big rip off if you're
gonna do that with Miecraft.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, and then you're moving into kind of an almost
drama e kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
So yeah, it's a very much drama like pull it.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
The heart strings the whale kind of movie.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah, was good.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Got you Okay, So we got James's ideas, we got
Vince's ideas. Vince, you're gonna be odds and James, you're
gonna be evens. All right, who's gonna roll the die?
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Well?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
You will go for me, grow for a Vince, Hi
a sex. It's so, James, what was your idea?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I don't know. I think I know how Minecraft movie
got created because we.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Probably I was gonna some mom six the more realistic.
But if we're going like realistical animation.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
I was going with a more realistic okay, and then
if you're doing general I was doing morerry.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
That works.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
So it's a horrid horror, realistic horror. Right. The reason
why I brought up Minecraft and I have it on
the screen is so that we're gonna let it select
our exterior shot, our exterior scene for the first scene,
which I can't know. Have you guys ever used the
(15:33):
narrator mode? No? Uh so when you go in, it
gave me the option narration. I'm curious what it does.
I didn't select.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
It reached the men.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Is that what it is? Oh? I don't want that. Okay, okay,
I was hoping it was, like I was, somebody would
actually go through and say something with mot okay.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
No, no, no, no, we're creating the world.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
We're gonna let minecraft select the day of time. Should
have made the look we could, We could have made
it really.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Yeah, I'm finishing.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
With deling screen like it's looking a little desert. Ye.
Let's see if I can. Oh yeah, I can the
way there I am, so let's see. Oh yeah, So
here's our opening scene, exterior shot. This is the way
you write it in the script. By the way, so
(16:31):
it would say e x T so exterior. Obviously it's
during the day, right, I don't know what would be scarier.
It's probably better it does. It starts during the day,
like you just see somebody wake up on what looks
like a beach kind of thing, obviously if it's a
horror so of not knowing when right, we don't know
(16:52):
where they are pretty normal, but at the same time,
they can't jump, you got crazy trees, you know, they're
walking around. I think the whole benefit is oh uh,
I think the whole benefit is not knowing where they are.
Like to them, it's just literally I've woken up, Which
it could be interesting if it is, oh I heard
(17:14):
bad noises. Uh, it could be interesting if they did spawn.
And that's the big thing at the end is that, yeah,
it's being played from the outside. They don't have an
existence before this, and their whole thing is to try
and find out who they are. And so this world
of oh so you want to go?
Speaker 6 (17:33):
You want to go sort of like AI or some
not AI, but like, uh yeah, well yeah, I guess
it is my auspicial intelligence sort of learning that it
is uh like.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
Like self awareness, gainingess, gaining sentience.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah, like yeah, why am I?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Like?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Why am I here? Who am I? Hear?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
The leg on?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
But then Micraft, who picked these clothes I'm wearing? How
do you? How do you do this shot where you can.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
We're gonna break through with a giant drill.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
That's that's I've got no shirt on. Oh no, I
do have a shirt on. There you go. That's what
we look like apparently too. I thought it would be
the blue shirt stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Alex.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I think, yep, okay, oh, something's walking up on me.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
But anyway, so we're gonna build a giant drill. We're
gonna fierce to happen. So we're gonna build a giant mecca,
and then we're gonna go inter dimensionally and and start
even galling right.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
I think this is gonna do something with a camel
in it. But anyway, so yeah, this is I mean,
I'm used the original one. The next piece is who
are we gonna get to.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Play character bunch ship?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Well, I mean are we are we?
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Are we doing Steve or are we doing Alex's?
Speaker 5 (18:53):
The character is.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
It's hard to tell the physical difference between the two, Like, yeah,
who would you pick for each of those?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
I think I was gonna say, Emma Stone.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Amma Stone. If it was Alex, there you go.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
And then if it's Steve, I don't know, they're let's say,
let's say uh Neil Patrick Harris.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Okay, that was kind of up there in there. You
would I think you wouldn't look for somebody that's more
blockie like they did with no.
Speaker 6 (19:40):
I was just thinking, like we started off with horror,
but I think I just chose two of the people
that pretty shouldn't be in horror.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Steve, you know, you know who the perfect fit might
be actually is uh yeah, Nicholas Cage. That would be
you should be. He did that one horror movie we
talked about on here that was supposed to be like
five minutes of Freddy's where he doesn't he doesn't ever
(20:07):
say a word? Is the person? Oh? And that that
would be pretty good.
Speaker 10 (20:18):
Actually, really, I've had it with these mfing creepers on
this m FING player.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Yeah, all right, let's do it. Let's roll it.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I'll say that, I'll say the next course right amastone
is one Nicolas Skates, two, Sam Jackson three, Scarlet and
five and me a pearl six.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Oh wow, okay, there we go. Oh you're keeping it
honest to there? That would be five five Scarlett Johansson.
That does influence the the timeline.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Already over overexposed with the New Jurassic World.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
I was gonna say we should we should probably have
another thing, which is budget, because I think like we
gonna have to do very very low.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Budget because she's just gonna take the whole of it.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
I don't think this would be a high budget movie,
to be honest with you. So you can probably put
all your money into the actor had board books or
you could do that thing like like that Nick Cage
movie where literally, yeah he didn't he didn't say a word,
He didn't get paid anything for that. I think he
got to keep the car or something like that. It
was the trade off. So he was in the movie
just to just just for free. But I want to
(21:38):
use ai uh, Vince, you got chat TBT or something?
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Yeah, I got pro.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Let's do an auto generate for this auto generate our
opening scene because now we have some factors we could
put in there.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Okay, so what do you want the prompet to be?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Okay? So so my minecraft script, uh movie script, and
we're doing uh day setting, uh that the main character wakes,
you know, to find themselves in the Minecraft world. Scarlett Johansson, right, yeah,
(22:22):
and then horror movie horror yeah, and then uh, there's
one other factor. I'm trying to think, remember what it
was is that it no budget wanting. Why yeah, I
don't know who they are. If they wake up, they
don't know who they are. That's sort of thing. Let's
(22:45):
let's try that and see what it what it spits
out here we go Minecraft movie script.
Speaker 10 (22:52):
Okay, so I said, the white skips for micro movie
starting Scarlett r Anston. Use the script things like external
shot or extra shop. Main character find himself in a
micro apporoch. She has cards by Hanson Ory movie low budget.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Like playing Scarlet trans.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
And she is Scarlet Trant, but it's actually Jack Black.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Yeah. Yeah, they are.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
A realistic setting, emerging awareness of that they're in a game.
And then it starts with a missing forest. So I said, nope,
it's it's I said, it's in the desert day and
then they gam here and they say a vast expense.
A blockie sand June stretches to the arriving under a.
Speaker 11 (23:35):
Harsh pixelin sun it Hay shimmers across the terrain.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
That's not bad where we are, okay.
Speaker 11 (23:43):
Handle on a lone figure stumbling across the dunes. Scarlett Johansson,
dressed in modern hiking gear, eyes wide with confusion, okay, and.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Then she she goes where am I? And she glances
at her hands, at her square and picked that's her script.
This can't be real. A distant his echoes it's God,
that emerges into a narrow mesa overlooking more dunes. He
shields her eyes from the sun. Okay, I think this
(24:15):
is just a game.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
It's not real.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
And then they just go to a village.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
So so they so they know they know what Minecraft is.
This is just a game. Yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
It's basically for spoken but but even worse script, why.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Did we put horror element in the in the pro?
Speaker 2 (24:37):
I did, Yeah, I did. It says it's building. It's
it's a slow burn.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
So it says right, right, right, sorry, A.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Tiny village built of cobblestone and wood.
Speaker 10 (24:47):
All doors are shut now villagers inside. He approached the
first house and then it cracks creaks open.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
It's empty, and there's a single torch on the wall. Hello, anyone.
He pockets the torch, so it's it's a live torch.
Then she goes to the square. There's an anti infantory
screen projected before her.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Oh, no tools, no food, So she has like a yeah,
I don't know if I want that. I don't know
if i'd want it where they're like selecting things and
stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
So she can't because it's all blank. She has no food.
She has to survive. There's a creeper and what do
players do? They pronch trees, right, and she swiped the
near by oak tree with her bare.
Speaker 10 (25:31):
Hands, and the woodblocks fragment into logs and she grabs them.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
And then the Scarlett stands chest heaving.
Speaker 12 (25:42):
Okay, and then the dark side reveals a dark mind
shaft and she has to find her way home, find
Redstone so she can glitch out of the game, and then.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
The card speeds across the stuff and then this is
the end. It's not possible. And then her voice says
player awakened, and then you are both a spectator and
a player. No, I'm Scartlett Johansson, but I don't Scarlett Johansen.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Respect, acknowledgement, acceptance continue.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
And then an nder Man puts her back into the
real world.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Oh that's interesting, so then she regains her knowledge of stuff.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
After that, I guess she says, I'm home and she
picks up controller and it says or am I and
then screen flickers pixelated and so she might just turns
into a PS four chap.
Speaker 6 (26:33):
Oh wow, so we got I like the glitching it
out with Redstone. I think that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
So we've got we've got a general we've got a
general movie idea. We're ready for our pitch. We've got
our actress, right yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
But the last is.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Our is our theme music, our theme song. And in
order to select that, I have six of the top
artists that have had the most their most music in
movies and that have been selected the most for movie
(27:14):
theme songs. Mm hmm, we're gonna select that. I want
to keep it a surprise. Uh, We're gonna do this
by a Dolera at dice roll. I had a narrow
I had to delete a few though, because there was
more than six, so I had a narrow it down
to the So uh yeah, these are singers though, so
(27:35):
there's people who actually so you'd actually have words, so
you'd have to have some words for it. But before
we go selecting and rolling a die, we also need
some We need some words here, some common minecraft words.
Speaker 11 (27:49):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
You guys were kind of thinking of something. I mean, pickaxe,
I think, for example, is important, right, anything else you
can think of minds, Creeper lines.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Hero Brian.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Here of Ryan. We need we need some we need
some other items, so like stuff.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
This is Japan.
Speaker 8 (28:16):
Oh the mixles I would say, I would say as well.
Speaker 13 (28:23):
I think red stick, red Stones, Yeah, Chicken diamonds, Yeah, villager,
you've got chicken steeve freaking.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
We're gonna need a dice roll to decide who's gonna
sing our song.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
I'm rolling it.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
I'm wanning.
Speaker 7 (28:41):
Okay, go ahead, roll it.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
It's again the sixth it's sex so way to die.
It's again again. I'll I'll try again. There we go,
Here we go, here go.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
It's a four afore? Is that what we're sticking with? Yeah,
okay for it. I'm gonna need an instrument for this one.
Hang on a sec, let me go grab it.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
S Oh number four with Jeremy.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
No, this movie's carried to flip. I don't have aboard
damn here, that's really what we should question. But here
we go. Let's see if I can do this. Oh
my headphones are can getting the way.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
To So are you going to sing?
Speaker 1 (29:30):
The musician? That that's done?
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Lots of stuff with lots of films, But number four was.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
You it's done, they've done.
Speaker 7 (29:38):
No.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Uh, I'm gonna do my best, my best imitation, Oh
as best I can. I actually felt better about one
of them was smash Mouth. I was kind of hoping
it was gonna be that one. I can do that one.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Hey, No, Minecraft? Or is the other one?
Speaker 1 (29:58):
This one?
Speaker 11 (29:58):
You know?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Ready? So here's the artists coming in too to do
their song for us. Ready, there we go? If I
could keep from laughing though, I'm I'm Randy Newman.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
I got not a song to me.
Speaker 14 (30:30):
I never played Minecraft, but my song bout Minecraft. Here
we go, Mine Crab, Mine Crab.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
If you don't want to get the cheft, you better
have yourself for Pickaxe and some other stuff like Creep
of mindes a Hero, Fryne, red Stone, Diamonds, Bitch, Chicken,
Jammo Desert.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
I'm Randy Newman.
Speaker 11 (31:09):
See hbout Micraft?
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Oh my god, I loved you in Toy Story?
Speaker 7 (31:19):
Now?
Speaker 3 (31:20):
How did we get the budget for Berscote.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Randy Newman? I don't think Randy Newman's hard to get
these things. He hasn't done a Disney movie for a
long time. Yeah. The other choices were Billy Joel, Paul McCartney,
actually smash Mouth and uh, oh, I might have deleted
the sixth one, not the.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Guy from Scrubbs with the Dead No anyway, Yeah, Randy Newman.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Yeah, but we got Randy Newman to be able to
sing the song. Probably not the best fit for So
you're going to see a horror movie that's a realistic
look to it.
Speaker 7 (32:03):
Kicks off. You got the you got the desert scene ready,
that was a pretty good one. Smash Mouth had been
pretty similar, though. I think it's gonna.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Be Hey, now you're in Minecraft.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
We can't get smash Mouth now because he's kind of dead.
But at the same time, yeah, I should probably put
in people that are alive still.
Speaker 10 (32:28):
Uh, but yeah, we could put a Disney in and
reprive him to State.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
With a budget, we can do it. Yeah, stay tuned
because I'll tell you what. If enough, if we can

You were now listening to the podcast for Geeks and
the Stuff they Love, where each week we'll talk about
everything from anime to movies, games and prop collecting with
the people who create and love it. I'm Jeremy, I'm Vince,
I'm James, and bitch is Steve. So here's the big question.
Have you seen the Minecraft movie?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
No?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Yes, I have.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Have you did you watch it all the way through? No?
Speaker 3 (00:25):
I go up halfway yet? Yes, I watched it with ye.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I started it several times. You didn't carege of it?
Speaker 4 (00:34):
No?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I it just got too much? Was half of it?
Speaker 5 (00:42):
You was scared halfway three?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
The other time I literally fell asleep during it. I
like fell asleep the mart recent time, I fell asleep
during it because I was like, Okay, now it's on streaming,
sure I'll watch it, and it like put me out. Uh,
And it's not necessarily I'm like, what's the movie? It
used to put me out? Every time? I literally would
use it to fall as Oh, Joe Dirt. I used
(01:05):
to watch Dirt to fall asleep because guarantee, for some
reason I would fall asleep. It's not a bad movie,
it's just for some reason I would constantly I would
fall asleep to that one. Then you watched Joe Dirt too,
and it did the same thing to me.
Speaker 6 (01:17):
I think the Moncraft movie has a lot of flaws.
We obviously it's the same argument as always, like it's
a good movie, like you're not supposed to think too
much into it, etcetera.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
But I don't know.
Speaker 6 (01:27):
I just think there are some some things just like
completely unnecessary. The plot suddenly happens because it has to happen.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yeah, it felt forced. It felt like they had all
these all these ip things that they had to stick in. Yeah,
and I didn't watch that long, so it felt in
that amount of time, it felt like they were just cramming, like, oh,
we got to get this in there, we gotta get
that in there. You got to mention this and stuff.
That was part of what turned me off. But I
feel like we can do it better.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
So I have same body talk as Jack Black. So
I'm fine, You're gonna be Steve.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
I I think, you know. So, I mean I do
have a little bit of history with this. You know,
this is kind of what.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
I U so.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I used to do, uh what they call I was
a screen analyst, a script analyst, and I was also
a script doctor. This is kind of closer to script doctoring. Uh,
an actual doctor, right, that's right, well, you know before
I became yeah, before that, but yeah, script doctoring literally
what you're doing is you're taking a script that they
that they purchased or they're considering, and then you do
(02:31):
what they call punch up work, so you basically make
a better or you try to add humor to it,
things like that, and so the Micraft movie, you know,
or turning it into something better. Yeah, I want I wonder,
I wonder what the initial script was. I wonder if
they came up with first that they wanted to make
a movie and they want to sell a bunch of stuff,
or if it was a thing where somebody actually had
(02:51):
a good script and then they were like let's stick it,
you know, like the Joker the second the newer Joker
movie where they're like, you know, they had a script
and they're like, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
But the act we don't like money.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Just the musician, Yeah, we don't like many and the
musician that's gonna be in it, uh lots to do
musical instead. I guess that's how we're gonna rewrite it.
Speaker 7 (03:11):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
But any rate. So, so yeah, I think I think
what we're gonna do, we're gonna come up with We're
gonna do some punch up work. We're gonna come up
with a better Minecraft movie. But we're also gonna we're
also gonna mix it up a little bit. We're gonna
make this a little more difficult because we won't be
in control of some of the factors. Both James and
(03:31):
Bence have some die on them. I meant to have
a coin on me. I don't have it on me.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I stole it from my son and he was very
angry that brought it upstairs because he was trying to
play a board game.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
You shoved the whole bull game off the table, took
the die.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Oh, I have to do a polkas. It's like the
King of Quarters And you know that the documentary by
Donkey Kong.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Oh oh about Donkey Kong.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah yeah, yeh yeah yeah. So so the guy was
doing his world record on the tape. There was like
this this kid saying, daddy, Daddy might might bum and
the guys.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Say, no, Daddy's playing Donkey Kong.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
It's the same thing with the dye, Like, no, Daddy's
doing a podcast.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
This is not make a movie about that.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
We're making Micraft great again.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
We're gonna use We're gonna use We're gonna use die.
We're also gonna use a coin if I can find him.
Unless guys have a coin of some sort, we can.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Results.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I mean, oh we could, we could do Yeah, we
could do odds and evens. Let's do that.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I have so many coins one.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Oh, there you go. We just we just need we
just need a heads or tail situation. But we could.
We can do odds or evens with the die too.
That works too. So working for me using some randomization
will also be throwing out some different things. And at
the very end there's a chance that uh, I might
try to improv something that Yeah, just have to wait
(05:02):
for that so we can see how that goes. Hoping
for the best with that any rate. So the first
question is this, though, is the aesthetic should it look like?
And I do want to share this here? Let me
share my screen window. Oh I can look at that
(05:22):
share Oh yeah, single player, that's productor it says there
we go up. Hey, new world world name, let's leave
it new World. We're gonna be sur I'm gonna call
it I don't. No, Yeah, what should we do? Which mode?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
It's funny than survival because you could go gooor even a.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Well, So here's this is one of the questions that
we're gonna be answering. So first off, the aesthetic. Should
it look like Minecraft looks right, locks and stuff like that,
or should we do a live version.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Animation or live action?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Right right?
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Should it should not like the Jack Black version of
live action? I mean, like like it looks no different
the real world. And the thing that I think about
that that is I think it should also start the
way that Minecraft actually starts. So basically the beginning is
you're just like waking up or appearing in this place.
(06:28):
You don't know what's going on. You know, there's nothing
this there. If it was real life version, like you
also wouldn't know initially this Minecraft, you'd start picking up
on it. Maybe that's seems just start.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah, no, I always do that.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, I yeah. Again,
how much crossover do you want? Do you want it
to be exactly the same uh as far as the
way it functions or it appears, or are you doing
something that's essentially based on it? You know, would be better.
(07:02):
What's your what's your thought? Like if you if guys
had a pick, what do you think it should be?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
It would be fun if it was like, uh, stuff
in Minecraft affecting real life like okay, so so, but
but more more grounded basically, so it would be some
some sort of mystical stuff happening.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Like maybe the main character like plays Minecraft and then
things in real life are changing based on what he
does in Minecraft. Yeah, built the house the house.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah, yeah, like whenever he built something out of redstone,
it happens in real life.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
That's a pretty good one. Okay, we'll call that. We'll
call that one.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
What do you.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
I was gonna say, like real life but with like
certain Minecraft logic. So I do think that the way
that they implemented it was interesting. Like I'm just trying
to think, like if you were to, like if you have.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Vines, like to.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
Be to actually be able to climb up the vines
or I don't know, to do like bladder stalling or
you know, stuff sort of like that, I think that'll
be interesting.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
What about kind of stuff where you can float up
into the air and well, that.
Speaker 8 (08:27):
Would be ideal, but that's how Yeah, I mean like, yeah,
I like, what what if the real world ended up
being Minecraft and we're just in a little kid playing
on the server kind of deal.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Oh yeah, you said that.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
And the first thing that came to mind was like
a horror episode of some sort of TV show where
we turn into blocks like it was just.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Blocked slowly becoming.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
That, and you're like, oh, Cronenberg body or thing where.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Everything still the cubes, like I would watch that and.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
They tried, they tried to call the number, but their
fingers start turningto blocks.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Like the hot Dog world and uh, everything around ear
all at once. Yeah, that's pretty good though, Okay, I
I think I mean the other factor that we get
we're going to get into a genre, so we'll get
into like are we talking in comedy before or whatever else,
but read the moment. So just as far as like
aesthetics go, we're going more real or are we going
(09:32):
more cartoony?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
And so far it's like off the dead kind of
horror thing, like all of a sudden, creepers turning up
out of your toilet or something like that.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Okay, and you start out really unaware that it's happening
around you.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
You just see like pixelated puffs of smoke on the
horizon and you see buildings just turning into blocks. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
The sheep just suddenly in your in your little village
suddenly start say in your.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Bedroom because you you you put your bed on a spall.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Point, you accidentally you accidentally catch your cat on fire
and stuff like that. Okay, I said there's a love
that you could do, like horrors. Yeah, yeah, I mean yeah,
there's several genres you can kind of pick from, which
would be, yeah, horror, you can do comedy, you can
(10:27):
do combo, those two. Even you can do something that
that's you mentioned documentary and one of our other recorded
I mean, you could do something that has that uh
what's what's the name of the old the movie that
they made, the witch uh.
Speaker 9 (10:45):
Witch Project, No, the you know the they all the
horror movies that came out in the early nineties to
appear as if there're a documentary film Witch Project.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah Blair Witch. Yeah, Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I would like when you said doctor in three, I
was thinking more District nine sorts of thing.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Oh yeah, that was interesting. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
The block people get blocked off and they have to
rebel making cool stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Yeah, the people through the postal. Yeah, yeah, like the
one back rooms thing where you're basically like yeah, like.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Like what's the definitely cry anime.
Speaker 10 (11:26):
That's a bit more Yeah, yeah, where where where the
people from Hell are escaping from Hell?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Maybe a bit too dark form micer that.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
But I mean on the flip side, Yeah, you got
all the Winni the Pooh stuff and everything else coming
out lately. I mean yeah, yeah, the third one now
they really they've done two of them and Popeye is
the new one that's coming out really Popeye. Oh you
(11:57):
haven't seen that? Oh yeah, Popeye? Murderer, uh yeah, serial killer,
but Revenge I think I think the reveal. The benefit
if you go with something that's that's real, is that, yeah,
you could have these little elements where people are picking
up on them like oh yeah, hey this is definitely
(12:21):
that's what we're what we're doing, and you can do
kind of a twist thing.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Kevin Spacey like GPS, which is like he is, Yeah,
he's like a believable alien.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Spacy movie.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I like that one.
Speaker 10 (12:36):
I like Kate maybe something that like like a guy
just doing weird stuff like Bunch increas in real life,
but he's actually playing Minecraft, but he's like he has
like a dimensional disconnect between real life and what's in Like.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
So maybe there's something so like somebody on the outside
of the world is playing the game and is unaware
of the reality of what's on the inside, and you're
watching it from the inside. Yeah thing, Oh that's good.
I like that. All right, So.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Let's go again and same as our world name. I
don't know, okay.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
So between those two James and Vinz's ideas, first off,
should it be real life or should be cartoon? The
other thing I pitched about the real life party that
makes it good? That ruined the Minecraft movie. I feel
like is there's no if it seems unreal, you're not
invested because you know nothing bad can really happen to
(13:33):
the people, Like if you're gonna be invested knowing that
something bad could really happen, or you know there's some
reality to it. I think that also helps.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
One thing that was a pretty cool idea, which is
a Final Fantasy fourteen. It's called it's an actual movie
called Dead of Light in which a guy is using
Final Fantasy to connect to his estranged father and he
figures out that he's playing this game, so he plays
a lot with him to join his guild and everything
to connect again with his strange father.
Speaker 10 (14:04):
Oh that's a pretty that's a pretty cool movie to watch,
But that would be a big rip off if you're
gonna do that with Miecraft.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, and then you're moving into kind of an almost
drama e kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
So yeah, it's a very much drama like pull it.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
The heart strings the whale kind of movie.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah, was good.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Got you Okay, So we got James's ideas, we got
Vince's ideas. Vince, you're gonna be odds and James, you're
gonna be evens. All right, who's gonna roll the die?
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Well?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
You will go for me, grow for a Vince, Hi
a sex. It's so, James, what was your idea?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I don't know. I think I know how Minecraft movie
got created because we.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Probably I was gonna some mom six the more realistic.
But if we're going like realistical animation.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
I was going with a more realistic okay, and then
if you're doing general I was doing morerry.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
That works.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
So it's a horrid horror, realistic horror. Right. The reason
why I brought up Minecraft and I have it on
the screen is so that we're gonna let it select
our exterior shot, our exterior scene for the first scene,
which I can't know. Have you guys ever used the
(15:33):
narrator mode? No? Uh so when you go in, it
gave me the option narration. I'm curious what it does.
I didn't select.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
It reached the men.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Is that what it is? Oh? I don't want that. Okay, okay,
I was hoping it was, like I was, somebody would
actually go through and say something with mot okay.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
No, no, no, no, we're creating the world.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
We're gonna let minecraft select the day of time. Should
have made the look we could, We could have made
it really.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Yeah, I'm finishing.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
With deling screen like it's looking a little desert. Ye.
Let's see if I can. Oh yeah, I can the
way there I am, so let's see. Oh yeah, So
here's our opening scene, exterior shot. This is the way
you write it in the script. By the way, so
(16:31):
it would say e x T so exterior. Obviously it's
during the day, right, I don't know what would be scarier.
It's probably better it does. It starts during the day,
like you just see somebody wake up on what looks
like a beach kind of thing, obviously if it's a
horror so of not knowing when right, we don't know
(16:52):
where they are pretty normal, but at the same time,
they can't jump, you got crazy trees, you know, they're
walking around. I think the whole benefit is oh uh,
I think the whole benefit is not knowing where they are.
Like to them, it's just literally I've woken up, Which
it could be interesting if it is, oh I heard
(17:14):
bad noises. Uh, it could be interesting if they did spawn.
And that's the big thing at the end is that, yeah,
it's being played from the outside. They don't have an
existence before this, and their whole thing is to try
and find out who they are. And so this world
of oh so you want to go?
Speaker 6 (17:33):
You want to go sort of like AI or some
not AI, but like, uh yeah, well yeah, I guess
it is my auspicial intelligence sort of learning that it
is uh like.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
Like self awareness, gainingess, gaining sentience.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah, like yeah, why am I?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Like?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Why am I here? Who am I? Hear?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
The leg on?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
But then Micraft, who picked these clothes I'm wearing? How
do you? How do you do this shot where you can.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
We're gonna break through with a giant drill.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
That's that's I've got no shirt on. Oh no, I
do have a shirt on. There you go. That's what
we look like apparently too. I thought it would be
the blue shirt stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Alex.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I think, yep, okay, oh, something's walking up on me.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
But anyway, so we're gonna build a giant drill. We're
gonna fierce to happen. So we're gonna build a giant mecca,
and then we're gonna go inter dimensionally and and start
even galling right.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
I think this is gonna do something with a camel
in it. But anyway, so yeah, this is I mean,
I'm used the original one. The next piece is who
are we gonna get to.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Play character bunch ship?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Well, I mean are we are we?
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Are we doing Steve or are we doing Alex's?
Speaker 5 (18:53):
The character is.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
It's hard to tell the physical difference between the two, Like, yeah,
who would you pick for each of those?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
I think I was gonna say, Emma Stone.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Amma Stone. If it was Alex, there you go.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
And then if it's Steve, I don't know, they're let's say,
let's say uh Neil Patrick Harris.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Okay, that was kind of up there in there. You
would I think you wouldn't look for somebody that's more
blockie like they did with no.
Speaker 6 (19:40):
I was just thinking, like we started off with horror,
but I think I just chose two of the people
that pretty shouldn't be in horror.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Steve, you know, you know who the perfect fit might
be actually is uh yeah, Nicholas Cage. That would be
you should be. He did that one horror movie we
talked about on here that was supposed to be like
five minutes of Freddy's where he doesn't he doesn't ever
(20:07):
say a word? Is the person? Oh? And that that
would be pretty good.
Speaker 10 (20:18):
Actually, really, I've had it with these mfing creepers on
this m FING player.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Yeah, all right, let's do it. Let's roll it.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I'll say that, I'll say the next course right amastone
is one Nicolas Skates, two, Sam Jackson three, Scarlet and
five and me a pearl six.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Oh wow, okay, there we go. Oh you're keeping it
honest to there? That would be five five Scarlett Johansson.
That does influence the the timeline.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Already over overexposed with the New Jurassic World.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
I was gonna say we should we should probably have
another thing, which is budget, because I think like we
gonna have to do very very low.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Budget because she's just gonna take the whole of it.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
I don't think this would be a high budget movie,
to be honest with you. So you can probably put
all your money into the actor had board books or
you could do that thing like like that Nick Cage
movie where literally, yeah he didn't he didn't say a word,
He didn't get paid anything for that. I think he
got to keep the car or something like that. It
was the trade off. So he was in the movie
just to just just for free. But I want to
(21:38):
use ai uh, Vince, you got chat TBT or something?
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Yeah, I got pro.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Let's do an auto generate for this auto generate our
opening scene because now we have some factors we could
put in there.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Okay, so what do you want the prompet to be?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Okay? So so my minecraft script, uh movie script, and
we're doing uh day setting, uh that the main character wakes,
you know, to find themselves in the Minecraft world. Scarlett Johansson, right, yeah,
(22:22):
and then horror movie horror yeah, and then uh, there's
one other factor. I'm trying to think, remember what it
was is that it no budget wanting. Why yeah, I
don't know who they are. If they wake up, they
don't know who they are. That's sort of thing. Let's
(22:45):
let's try that and see what it what it spits
out here we go Minecraft movie script.
Speaker 10 (22:52):
Okay, so I said, the white skips for micro movie
starting Scarlett r Anston. Use the script things like external
shot or extra shop. Main character find himself in a
micro apporoch. She has cards by Hanson Ory movie low budget.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Like playing Scarlet trans.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
And she is Scarlet Trant, but it's actually Jack Black.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Yeah. Yeah, they are.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
A realistic setting, emerging awareness of that they're in a game.
And then it starts with a missing forest. So I said, nope,
it's it's I said, it's in the desert day and
then they gam here and they say a vast expense.
A blockie sand June stretches to the arriving under a.
Speaker 11 (23:35):
Harsh pixelin sun it Hay shimmers across the terrain.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
That's not bad where we are, okay.
Speaker 11 (23:43):
Handle on a lone figure stumbling across the dunes. Scarlett Johansson,
dressed in modern hiking gear, eyes wide with confusion, okay, and.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Then she she goes where am I? And she glances
at her hands, at her square and picked that's her script.
This can't be real. A distant his echoes it's God,
that emerges into a narrow mesa overlooking more dunes. He
shields her eyes from the sun. Okay, I think this
(24:15):
is just a game.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
It's not real.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
And then they just go to a village.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
So so they so they know they know what Minecraft is.
This is just a game. Yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
It's basically for spoken but but even worse script, why.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Did we put horror element in the in the pro?
Speaker 2 (24:37):
I did, Yeah, I did. It says it's building. It's
it's a slow burn.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
So it says right, right, right, sorry, A.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Tiny village built of cobblestone and wood.
Speaker 10 (24:47):
All doors are shut now villagers inside. He approached the
first house and then it cracks creaks open.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
It's empty, and there's a single torch on the wall. Hello, anyone.
He pockets the torch, so it's it's a live torch.
Then she goes to the square. There's an anti infantory
screen projected before her.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Oh, no tools, no food, So she has like a yeah,
I don't know if I want that. I don't know
if i'd want it where they're like selecting things and
stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
So she can't because it's all blank. She has no food.
She has to survive. There's a creeper and what do
players do? They pronch trees, right, and she swiped the
near by oak tree with her bare.
Speaker 10 (25:31):
Hands, and the woodblocks fragment into logs and she grabs them.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
And then the Scarlett stands chest heaving.
Speaker 12 (25:42):
Okay, and then the dark side reveals a dark mind
shaft and she has to find her way home, find
Redstone so she can glitch out of the game, and then.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
The card speeds across the stuff and then this is
the end. It's not possible. And then her voice says
player awakened, and then you are both a spectator and
a player. No, I'm Scartlett Johansson, but I don't Scarlett Johansen.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Respect, acknowledgement, acceptance continue.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
And then an nder Man puts her back into the
real world.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Oh that's interesting, so then she regains her knowledge of stuff.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
After that, I guess she says, I'm home and she
picks up controller and it says or am I and
then screen flickers pixelated and so she might just turns
into a PS four chap.
Speaker 6 (26:33):
Oh wow, so we got I like the glitching it
out with Redstone. I think that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
So we've got we've got a general we've got a
general movie idea. We're ready for our pitch. We've got
our actress, right yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
But the last is.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Our is our theme music, our theme song. And in
order to select that, I have six of the top
artists that have had the most their most music in
movies and that have been selected the most for movie
(27:14):
theme songs. Mm hmm, we're gonna select that. I want
to keep it a surprise. Uh, We're gonna do this
by a Dolera at dice roll. I had a narrow
I had to delete a few though, because there was
more than six, so I had a narrow it down
to the So uh yeah, these are singers though, so
(27:35):
there's people who actually so you'd actually have words, so
you'd have to have some words for it. But before
we go selecting and rolling a die, we also need
some We need some words here, some common minecraft words.
Speaker 11 (27:49):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
You guys were kind of thinking of something. I mean, pickaxe,
I think, for example, is important, right, anything else you
can think of minds, Creeper lines.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Hero Brian.
Speaker 1 (28:05):

Speaker 7 (29:38):
No.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Uh, I'm gonna do my best, my best imitation, Oh
as best I can. I actually felt better about one
of them was smash Mouth. I was kind of hoping
it was gonna be that one. I can do that one.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Hey, No, Minecraft? Or is the other one?
Speaker 1 (29:58):

of mindes a Hero, Fryne, red Stone, Diamonds, Bitch, Chicken,
Jammo Desert.
Speaker 1 (31:07):

Speaker 2 (31:16):
Oh my god, I loved you in Toy Story?
Speaker 7 (31:19):
Now?
Speaker 3 (31:20):
How did we get the budget for Berscote.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Randy Newman? I don't think Randy Newman's hard to get
these things. He hasn't done a Disney movie for a
long time. Yeah. The other choices were Billy Joel, Paul McCartney,
actually smash Mouth and uh, oh, I might have deleted
the sixth one, not the.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Guy from Scrubbs with the Dead No anyway, Yeah, Randy Newman.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Yeah, but we got Randy Newman to be able to
sing the song. Probably not the best fit for So
you're going to see a horror movie that's a realistic
look to it.
Speaker 7 (32:03):
Kicks off. You got the you got the desert scene ready,
that was a pretty good one. Smash Mouth had been
pretty similar, though. I think it's gonna.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Be Hey, now you're in Minecraft.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
We can't get smash Mouth now because he's kind of dead.
But at the same time, yeah, I should probably put
in people that are alive still.
Speaker 10 (32:28):
Uh, but yeah, we could put a Disney in and
reprive him to State.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
