0:39

any month early than December. so we're

0:41

went into the Christmas kind of

0:43

spirit on me, boys. We, on me boys

0:45

we guys stoked for this season. this

0:47

Season season always yeah Yeah. so we was So

0:49

we always talk about Christmas memories and

0:51

stuff. And and kind of, keep was

0:53

saying this earlier, kind of kind of

0:55

that a little bit. After eight

0:58

Christmas specials. specials after eight this

1:00

is the eighth one. this is the eight lot

1:02

of. This is the is the eight of

1:04

Christmas. So we've spoken about Christmas

1:06

games where Santa gets crazy on coffee days before yes before yeah

1:08

we've spoken obviously about the death of the high spoken

1:10

obviously about the death of the

1:12

high but obviously a little bit obviously a little

1:15

bit and then other then other things

1:17

we've spoken about movies I think I

1:19

think briefly maybe briefly not sure probably drop something

1:21

in and there definitely but we've covered all

1:23

the usual What did you

1:25

get for did you get for Christmas this.

1:27

Yeah, but it's good there because

1:29

like you know most of my

1:31

of my my my gaming stuff as a kid. like

1:33

had to wait until Christmas for that

1:35

kind of thing for that kind of my that. My

1:38

master's know, got my of those boy, different, you

1:40

know, got both of those for this is where we

1:42

are. This is where we are now.

1:44

We've spoken all about that. So how

1:46

could we, else could we kind of

1:48

wrangle into We've into this? Who actually

1:50

came up with the idea? how could we, what

1:52

I suggested it, think kind of run go we

1:54

didn't really have anything else into this? Who actually up

1:56

with the of got Was you the top of

1:58

the list. So anyway. So what

2:00

I tasked everyone with, and I've

2:02

come up with one myself, although

2:04

it's very very flaky, are Snowflakey,

2:06

Christmas movies. So Christmas movies generally

2:09

are very portable. There's a lot

2:11

I can think of become games,

2:13

Home Alone is the one that

2:15

sticks in Home Alone. Die Hard.

2:17

Die Hard. So we're clearly have

2:19

the opinion that Die Hard is

2:21

a Christmas movie, isn't an opinion,

2:23

it's fact. So I'm the only

2:25

one still on the fence about

2:27

this anyway. still on fence. Okay,

2:29

well, I'm be gonna talk about

2:31

that now. We do it quickly.

2:33

quickly. If you go to

2:36

net, I get state your case.

2:38

Okay, so it's set at Christmas, fine.

2:40

No, but I'm kind of on

2:42

both sides of the fence. I can

2:44

kind of see it. So it's

2:46

set at Christmas. And obviously there's a

2:48

lot of Christmas themes, Christmas party.

2:50

Christmas party. Saving everything Christmas. He's essentially

2:52

Santa, right? right? home for Christmas.

2:54

Going home for Christmas. yeah, he's essentially

2:57

Santa. But instead of bringing people

2:59

presents, he brings people like body bags

3:01

with full of explosions explosions

3:03

and just good computer be a monitor. with C4 strap to

3:05

them and all that jazz. And yeah, I

3:07

do watch. die hard at Christmas.

3:09

I do every year now. I will probably

3:12

yeah, I will pretty much watch it this

3:14

week. the of Christmas. So okay,

3:16

So that's in that camp. I mean,

3:18

before I move on to the other

3:20

camp, is there any other reasons why

3:22

it's a Christmas move? Well, I've got an

3:24

argument why it maybe isn't. Okay, thank

3:26

you. Thank you. are there any other

3:28

arguments? if it is? Well, you just said

3:30

it also, music, the snow, the... So

3:33

I can get that. I get that.

3:35

but But it's just like,

3:37

if you compare it to other

3:39

Christmas movies, they generally don't have killing.

3:41

Why would you do that? They

3:43

generally don't have a lot of killing,

3:45

or terrorists, or Nakatomi Plaza, and

3:47

that's why they're not as good as

3:49

Die Or boobs. They generally don't

3:52

have boobs, do they? Generally. Generally. Generally

3:54

people doing hanky -panky with a certain

3:56

substance. It bucked the trend, you

3:58

know? It bucked the trend. does fuck

4:00

the trend. it's not not about

4:02

Christmas. so if that if your criteria is that

4:04

is that Christmas movie has

4:06

to be about Christmas, it is not

4:08

about Christmas right so that is So that

4:10

is let's now now we settle said

4:12

all that I like I a lot

4:14

lot, but also You can also

4:16

argue that blood setting during

4:19

in during period Christmas

4:21

film But no one says it's a Christmas film. No one

4:23

says the true, Rocky Christmas the first is

4:25

film is around that festive period. No

4:27

one says Rocky a Christmas film. it

4:29

Thanksgiving? Do they not they not weave that

4:31

into it somehow? They do. well, okay, Rocky

4:33

5 then, That's around Christmas. Christmas

4:35

then. No one talks about Rocky No one a

4:37

reason. Rocky 5 for a reason. Hey, yeah, because it's not

4:39

a Christmas not a Christmas film. But I think Rainbow is a good

4:42

example though, a good example, though. That's around

4:44

the Christmas period. the So I think maybe

4:46

the whole thing has been a Christmas movie thing

4:48

has been inherited. it It's been adopted, essentially, at

4:50

the time when it was released. don't a recent thing.

4:52

the time So, you know, thought it was a

4:54

Christmas movie. It's a recent thing. the more people

4:56

I speak is. to about this, I feel like it's more, it's know,

4:58

people are saying it's saying it's a Christmas mean, the more

5:00

people I speak to about this, I feel

5:02

like it's it, it's, it's, it's, it's a Christmas, it's, it's,

5:04

saying it's a Christmas movie, it's, it's a

5:07

still kind of it's, still very undecided a

5:09

Christmas, it's I think I just use it as an it as

5:11

an excuse to watch it every year. I think

5:13

it's Christmas. I'm not supposed to die. you think

5:15

it's definitely a movie you need to see

5:17

every Christmas. need to see every Christmas. Definitely. it about Christmas

5:19

Christmas? So why I feel like watching it at

5:21

Christmas it not art? and not any know. I

5:23

It just feels right at Christmas right at

5:25

Christmas movie. Yeah. It will be be forever up

5:27

for debate. It will. you go on to

5:29

Netflix on to you go to the

5:31

Christmas go section, I bet it's in film

5:33

section. I bet it's in right. And I saw

5:35

it on something else as well. It

5:38

is. definitely on some other kind of

5:40

streaming. So else as well. Disney Plus or

5:42

something. I don't know. And it

5:44

was in Christmas. kind of streaming. My I think

5:46

people are just going to go

5:48

that way. Anyway, thanks for listening to

5:50

this podcast about whether know. And it was in

5:52

Christmas movie. smell you later. you okay. Okay,

5:54

no. So. Let's go around the table.

5:56

Okay. I know Keith, I know Keith's choice. I choice. go,

5:59

I will go with Keith's choice. bagsy because I didn't want

6:01

it. guys to do it. And obviously I think I it

6:03

in my head, but I will

6:05

let you, I I'll let you

6:07

have this I'll seeing you have this one thing as

6:09

you're fan. Arnie's, all have Christmas traditions,

6:11

6:20

And tradition, tradition, yeah. And it's like, know. and it's a

6:22

of the family tradition tradition My son

6:24

wouldn't have it. it. But if if we'd

6:26

like now not watch it this year. this

6:29

year, he Great film. We we agreed? Agreed? I

6:31

think I'm underrated in the Christmas canon. I mean might

6:33

be some people who listen to this,

6:35

haven't seen it. Oh. to this because

6:37

this is what we to look at

6:39

me just because this is the world have to

6:41

do. Just assuming seen it a hundred times

6:44

to see basically how to give us

6:46

a little outline times. mean we can

6:48

all do that seen it a hundred is your So

6:50

you to the table have to give why don't

6:52

you tell us actually what plot of jingle

6:54

all the way all do that. Arnold

6:56

Schwarzenegger is and is hard

6:59

working dad. But. sometimes his kid

7:01

down a little bit. little bit missing karate recitals.

7:03

that. absent. Yeah. at the event. Because

7:05

he's always working hard. And so he

7:07

asked him what he could get

7:09

him for Christmas this year that would

7:11

really make Christmas this year that would really does

7:13

he want? know, really make it special. And what does

7:16

he want? Turbo his from show TV show.

7:18

And is around the time

7:20

of of Toy Story the whole whole Buzz

7:22

Light Year, not being available anywhere So

7:24

it kind of drew from

7:26

that I think that I then And

7:28

then yes. Adventures as Arnold Shoe to

7:30

find this to find this

7:32

sold out sold-out turbanandel

7:34

and all gets a bit crazy. bit It

7:36

does. does. So how then does that that

7:38

translate would it translate how would it

7:40

translate into a video game? like an

7:43

open world it gonna be like an

7:45

open it kind of thing or is

7:47

it gonna by level by level actually

7:49

what's actually You've made so many options. I

7:51

wasn't gonna make notes it's so it's

7:53

in my brain, but no so even at the at

7:55

the beginning, right? What happens

7:57

at the beginning He's late for Jamie's caroty

7:59

thing. What do you call it? Grading? Right,

8:01

grading. That's it, yeah, yeah. So you could have

8:03

a racing level to try and beat the

8:06

traffic. Nice. Oh, I like that. And can you

8:08

outrun the copper and avoid your speeding ticket? Oh,

8:11

yeah, I like it because don't forget he cheats

8:13

by driving up the like their equivalent of

8:15

the heart shoulder doesn't that could could be the

8:17

first level and then obviously you get into

8:19

the action trying to find the turbo man So

8:22

you're running. you've to fight. Yeah.

8:24

So this one could be like GTA

8:26

style, running from store to

8:28

store, pushing old ladies out the

8:30

way, climbing over people. Yeah. Feeling

8:33

it and then also there could be a little

8:35

little bonus section where you control a remote control

8:37

car. Oh, yes. a trip Myron up. Yeah, yeah,

8:39

yeah. Who, Arnold, Not be he's kind

8:41

of his rival, isn't he? He's like a postman.

8:43

Kind an adversary. Yeah, he's a postman, played

8:45

by famous 90s comedian, Sinbad. Yeah. and they've obviously

8:47

tried to sort of beat each other to

8:49

the turbo amount though. So you could a the

8:51

remote control car. Yeah. Get in his way.

8:54

Then you could have a platform level in the

8:56

mall, which is where you have to chase

8:58

the little girl who's stolen the raffle ball. Yes.

9:00

oh yeah. Yeah. So to chase. You to

9:02

chase and you have to climb through like the

9:04

kids climb. Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like

9:06

in this already. So that's like a little platform

9:08

section and then at the end. you get attacked

9:10

by all the mums and you've got, I'm not

9:12

to pervert. Are

9:15

you going to Candy Canes? Aren't you? Is

9:17

that bit later. That's later. Oops, sorry.

9:19

God. That's next level way. That's the

9:21

next level. That's the beat them up

9:23

level at the Dodgy Santa Warehouse. We

9:25

have to beat them all up. So

9:27

yeah, in In the film, Dodgy James

9:29

Santa offers him the chance to buy

9:31

a turbo man. And so he takes

9:33

him out of town. So this seedy

9:35

looking warehouse that's full of Santas. And

9:37

then he gives it to him. takes

9:40

was it $300? I think he charges

9:42

in for it. And it turns out

9:44

to be a Dodgy knockoff version. It

9:46

only speaks Spanish. phrases as well and the

9:48

head the head and all the limbs

9:50

fall off yeah and so obviously Arnold has

9:52

to get his money back and they

9:54

decide to fight him and in this section

9:56

you get to beat up James Belushi.

9:58

Big show. the wrestler. Yeah. and Verntroyer. I'm

10:00

in the same. I mean, just all

10:02

the extreme that won't go. pre -mini -me,

10:04

Verntroyer. Flinging out at you, like jumping

10:07

on your head kind of thing. It

10:09

would be pretty great. Yeah, so there's

10:11

a whole big section and you can

10:13

use like giant candy canes to beat

10:15

up the Santas. Yeah. So that's that

10:17

section. Then there's another Chase/beat them up

10:19

stage where you get to fight a

10:21

reindeer as he chases you through Ted's

10:24

house. Yes. then Arnold tries to steal

10:26

the toy where his neighbour has bought

10:28

for his son from under the and

10:30

he gets chased by a reindeer. is a

10:32

low point because he really burns the house

10:34

down and he punches a reindeer. But then

10:36

as Arnold said afterwards, he started it. Poor

10:38

Ted has put up with this guy. Poor

10:40

Ted. Right, see now I know, but yeah,

10:42

Ted slimy, Ted is slimy, but you know

10:45

he's just a single death. He doesn't deserve

10:47

his house being burnt down. He doesn't deserve

10:49

his house being burnt down, but he just

10:51

wants a bit of comfort. I do love

10:53

that bit though where he kicks the flaming

10:55

head through the window because he's got like

10:57

these three men statues and he kicks it

10:59

out. into the and Ted's out there

11:01

and he's like both on! Brilliant.

11:05

The terror, man. that leads me on

11:07

to there's another chase/beat. them up stage. Oh

11:09

no, sorry, that was the last stage.

11:11

Bonus stages. This is where you get to

11:13

play as either Harold, is Arm's character

11:15

or Liz's wife and you have to either

11:17

chase Ted as Harold, put that cookie

11:19

down, You to chase him because he's taking

11:21

your cookies. or you

11:23

have to avoid his slimy advances, if you're

11:25

Liz. Oh, yeah. And And you get to like...

11:27

like he like can leave like a slime

11:29

trail. A slime trail. And you've got like hot

11:31

egg gnaw to throw over. Which is what

11:33

she ends up doing in the film. So

11:36

they're little bonus stages. then we come to

11:38

the final stage where you accidentally become Turbo

11:40

Man. Yes. And there's beat them up sections

11:42

where you fight them This This is where

11:44

it all kicks off. It kicks off. The

11:46

crescendo, Yeah, and this is all at the

11:48

Toy Parade. Yeah. And I always love watching

11:50

this back. If you watch this back, Sonic

11:52

is in this Toy Parade. So when you

11:54

watch. Yeah, Sonic is there. Years after. there's

11:56

a Ninja turtle. I don't remember this. Yeah,

11:58

there's loads of like TV characters. and stuff. So which

12:00

way? Yeah, so sections beat the floats where

12:02

you can fight like on all the floats and then

12:04

you have like a one -on -one and

12:06

with the mentor himself a you also

12:09

get a bit of jetpack action as

12:11

well. Sight and stuff. where you also get

12:13

a bit but I thought it could be

12:15

such a as well. Sight and stuff. So different but I thought it

12:17

could be you could have made it in like

12:19

a 16 of really could game. You really could. lots of 2D

12:21

platforming and beat them up. Yeah. Or could turn the whole thing into a GTA-style didn't

12:23

make the city. Yeah. I feel like time or you could

12:25

turn the whole thing into a would have made a game on

12:27

it. chase across the city would have i feel like

12:29

if it was made in the stage I i

12:31

feel like they would my had they would have

12:33

made a game on it they would have made

12:35

some kind of they've was another stage i got like

12:38

jumped over my got like a that you remember the

12:40

bit where they run into the that they've got like a ticket

12:42

that they've got like a they hear on the radio that

12:44

they've got like a that they've got like a you can

12:46

win got like a you win it by like a ticket that

12:48

they've got up ticket that naming all the

12:50

reindeer correctly. that they've and then he

12:52

races myron to the the radio station. and so

12:54

be like a track and field

12:56

style. field style. But you have to, normally tap your

12:58

two buttons to run fast. Do

13:00

you know them? Do you know them? I know them. Do

13:02

you know how I know them? them? Because I watch jingle all the

13:04

way the way every year. so when they're And and

13:06

when they're running, and obviously like and Arnold's and

13:08

Arnold he's just he's just jogging. I He's like, this

13:10

do He's day. the dance, a prance, a vixen, comet, cup it, don't, a blitzen.

13:13

That's why they're stuck in my head. why they're stuck in

13:15

my stuck go. head. why they're stuck in my

13:17

head. my head. what I was going to say.

13:19

So instead of like, when you play track

13:21

and field, normally you just tap a couple

13:23

of buttons Komid, Komid, You have to tap Kupid, Kupid,

13:25

don't know how you would do it. Maybe

13:27

they'd be on the screen. Kupid, You have to

13:29

repeatedly Kupid, Dona, click on the in the the right order.

13:31

And if you get one out of order,

13:34

like one out of order like maybe you stumble

13:36

really then yeah did think

13:38

he's so that is about

13:40

it so I go all the way.

13:42

of yeah so that is you can That's a

13:45

good game. way think so. I would

13:47

like to play that. That is

13:49

a strong start. a good game thanks that's I

13:51

share my game the way story? that's a good

13:53

Merry Christmas, Darren, who will be

13:55

listening. so I would like Christmas, Darren. Back in

13:57

14:28

lie. He got me. kind of, the movie post but

14:30

14:39

side. It Oh one of those plastic board type you

exaggerating. It's in the size of this

14:43

room. of a cinema nub is more

14:45

like a... god. Honestly, it's like a

14:47

like a bannas, it's more

14:49

like a like exaggerating? Is long,

14:51

the thick plastic, but it's more like a

14:54

room. Well, ball at the top no, but it's it for

14:56

me. I was like. a length ways. this

14:58

like, it's amazing. And I I had it for a

15:00

while. Darren's gonna be very angry at me.

15:02

I don't know where it's gone. I don't I

15:04

was moving around that time houses around that of and we

15:06

moved out of lie, you sold it, didn't lie, But

15:09

15:11

amazing! Seven-meter I'm sorry, Darren. I've lost it. don't

15:13

15:17

the three of us, me, me, dealing in aid, see me,

15:19

me, me, me, me in the with, me, me, me, me, me, me, me,

15:21

And outside, they were selling stuff. me, me, me, me,

15:24

me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, it was like a

15:26

me, poster me, me, me, me, me, for I it was was

15:28

a raise a single, but it was it was like this

15:30

it wall. like a It was it was you remember? remember

15:32

it was huge. yeah it It was the the kind

15:34

of poster that they would have have on the tube

15:36

in the tube station. Was that from one of one of the outside?

15:38

outside? a real, well, maybe they was a real, tube well,

15:40

maybe they like it from a tube station. to

15:42

you guys like which is just... So decorate your whole lounge with this

15:44

one go Oh, man. That would have been a great had like

15:46

a wall, in there. Jingle with the way post. Yeah. You could have done

15:48

whole trimmed. Trimmed up. Right. Right. one poster. I know what I know what

15:51

I'm getting new. I know I'm would have been a great

15:53

new. I know I'm for you in I'm getting new. I'm getting new.

15:55

I'm getting new. I'm getting new. I know I'm getting new. I'm getting new. I'm getting

15:57

new. I'm getting new. I'm getting new. I'm getting well. I know what I'm

15:59

getting you for. new. I I

16:01

know you love it. That's

16:04

a good storm. That is

16:06

a strong start. That is a strong start,

16:08

isn't it? Let's be honest. And you're

16:10

going to go downhill from here. Let's be

16:12

honest. It really is. Certainly as far

16:14

as I'm concerned. Because I couldn't think of

16:16

anything. And I had to ask for

16:18

help on this. Anyway, we'll come to mine

16:20

in a bit. But But which of

16:22

you actually wants to go next? James. I

16:24

feel Adrian going to be like a

16:26

stronger finish than mine. So we'll have a

16:28

third sandwich. we do a third sandwich?

16:30

Okay. Well, not literally. No, no, no. Figuratively

16:32

speaking. So Now, this might actually be

16:34

quite niche. OK. Because unlike Jingle All The

16:36

Way, which was quite a big

16:38

release. Yes. yes, you still watch now

16:40

rightly so. Beloved classic, Absolutely. Absolutely,

16:43

big film. This wasn't a big film,

16:45

Okay. It wasn't a Hollywood film.

16:47

It was a TV movie, What? in

16:49

1991, okay. It

16:51

is, I'd say probably along with the likes

16:53

of Jingle All The Way. It's one of

16:55

my absolute. Favourites,

16:57

Now, it's only a TV film and it

16:59

will probably only like ring a few bells in

17:01

people's heads that are from the UK. Oh,

17:04

I like where this is going. I it's what

17:06

I think it is. on. Okay. and I

17:08

happen to know, I happen to know, I

17:10

think it's one of Becca's favourites as well. okay.

17:12

Oh, okay. She

17:14

absolutely adores it. So it's from 1991. Okay.

17:17

I know. I think know, it's got Alan Cumming

17:19

as the lead role, Lenny Henry, Lenny Henry. Oh,

17:21

no, Ron Ron Atkinson, Trevor McDonald's in it as

17:23

well. The news reader for those of you that

17:25

are Gary Lineker. and Gary Linnaker. Yes.

17:28

This is ringing a bell. Does anybody deal with

17:30

it? No, but what What pop in it?

17:32

Wasn't there a pop group in it? No. Maybe

17:35

I'm talking rubbish. trying to think now.

17:37

I know the section you're talking about

17:39

and we'll come on to that, but

17:41

I'm not sure Yeah, I can't remember

17:43

anyway. I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you

17:46

what it is It was a little

17:48

TV film. I watch it all the

17:50

time and it's called Bernard and the

17:52

genie Bernard and the never seen it.

17:54

I seen it once. I barely remember.

17:56

Please. Yeah, Yeah, please. genuinely I genuinely

17:58

think you love it Okay, okay So it's

18:00

from age from the Do you know the

18:02

film? it it every Christmas, right so so for

18:04

the so for the so give it right give a quick

18:06

synopsis there. what's the it's a a fairly

18:08

simple story, it, to be honest? So

18:10

it to be I think, gets dumped by

18:12

his girlfriend. That's it. his She's having

18:15

an affair. it she's the guy from,

18:17

with with the that, Ryan Atkinson film,

18:19

a program with the police people?

18:21

Thin Blue Line. oh The guy line

18:23

the guy had one big moustache she That guy.

18:25

guy that guy So he went with Alan Cummings' girl He

18:27

was a bit sad. sad And I think

18:29

he he an old, old, I think think he bought

18:31

his girlfriend like a lamp or something. something.

18:33

So you've missed a missed a couple of bits of

18:35

the up to that. Sorry, that. It's so much, this is

18:37

the so much, it's is the problem. It's

18:39

such a simple story, but there's so much

18:41

to it. it, He actually gets fired. Oh,

18:43

that's right by right He gets dumped, like

18:45

you said, you and his girlfriend goes off

18:47

with goes off with Mr. Maybe he's like Captain isn't he? he.

18:49

And it all all just falls down around him.

18:52

him. It was just, and he gets, what did you say

18:54

gets a lamp from a lamp from the flat that

18:56

cleared out. out. She's got rid of the whole lot,

18:58

apart from a couple a little bits and like

19:00

a shelving unit and then this this this kind

19:02

of metal lamp. of What does he do with

19:04

it? Well, he tries to clean it, think, he

19:06

tries to clean it, I think, doesn't he? breaks loose. it. All hell breaks loose.

19:08

Yeah, he ends up in he ends up in hospital with

19:10

like that. No one stuff why that. will knows why and

19:12

it all explodes at this point like, what, this is not where I

19:14

this point, you're like, at all, you know, and is not

19:16

where one man's kind to go at all, you know?

19:18

And it was like it man's kind of story

19:20

of being a bit unlucky, wasn't it? killed, I think? It

19:22

does starts with Henry, doesn't it? About how he

19:24

was about to it, that's it, think, it, that's it, that's

19:26

it, a weird spell, I think, exactly it, that's

19:29

exactly it, spell on him. exactly it, That's it.

19:31

That's exactly exactly running away from this,

19:33

like, wizard guy. exactly it, that's exactly it, that's exactly it, that's

19:35

is, exactly it, it, makes it just beyond

19:37

hilarious. And essentially, yeah, yeah, he's running away from

19:39

this kind of, like, wizard guy, isn't

19:41

he, guy, said, and he gets this

19:43

spell put on him where he gets

19:45

put in the lamp. he that's it. disappears.

19:48

lamp, and that's we assume, something around about

19:50

2 ,000 years later, he later, he then released

19:52

from the lamp by from the lamp by who

19:54

tries to clean it. and it and it all

19:56

just goes completely mad. He He comes back to

19:58

his flat and wonders why there's this this... enormous guy

20:00

waving a sword around in his flat. And he ends up telling him, of

20:02

ends up telling him, of course, in English,

20:04

eventually a he talks, you know, a load

20:06

of, Arabic or presume it's sort of And something

20:09

like that. genie And he says, to grant I'm

20:11

gonna grant your wishes. And he's like, One

20:13

second second ago, you were trying to

20:15

kill me. And now you're gonna going wishes. grant

20:17

So the film the film then spoiler alert, alert. basically

20:19

is Bernard kind of of executing his wishes. with obviously the

20:21

difference with obviously the classic he doesn't is

20:23

that he doesn't just have three, he has

20:25

like multiple. can kind of he can kind of

20:27

assuming out. a I'm assuming there's a limit

20:30

because they get towards the end and he

20:32

counts doesn't he? like on his hand and

20:34

he goes and there or something. there or something. Yeah maybe.

20:36

think there is a finite amount, but

20:38

we don't know how much it is. it

20:40

it is. But it's like a duck order program as It's about

20:42

how the how the fits in this world, isn't it? Yeah,

20:44

yeah. He loves the Big Macs. Yeah, Yeah, because he doesn't

20:46

doesn't know about anything. He He doesn't know

20:48

about food, about clothing, about anything. And

20:50

he just gets dressed up in all this

20:52

jazzy gear jazzy gear and like... runs out into the

20:54

street and shouts to people, how good

20:56

strawberry ice cream strawberry ice cream is. like, no, no,

20:58

you don't understand. no, everybody knows that it's

21:00

not that great. And he's like, what?

21:02

You're joking. not that great. And loads of references to

21:04

other films. And isn't it? loads of references to

21:06

watch Terminator. He goes to watch it like

21:09

15 times in a row. He There's all

21:11

sorts of foods that are in it. in

21:13

it. loads of He really likes it's got quite

21:15

a good soundtrack as well. The songs

21:17

in it are pretty good. goes to it's

21:19

just like this guy goes from nothing. from nothing,

21:21

like he has everything taken away from

21:23

him and ends up having like the

21:25

power of of a to basically change kind

21:27

of his life. but But then he

21:29

realizes that actually he can change other

21:31

people's lives kind of to kind of give him that. Rowan him

21:33

that. Rowan a great a great villain. like

21:35

He's like an art collector art dealer, isn't

21:37

he? He's brilliant. brilliant. to tries to frame Cummins and

21:39

I think think it's really well done. That's

21:42

exactly what where he's like a big time dealer, dealer, isn't he's

21:44

dealer who tries to tries to frame... And he's

21:46

back in the room. And yeah, in the room. And,

21:49

he? Yeah. And he loses doesn't he? because he loses

21:51

his job because he finds this ridiculously

21:53

expensive painting in an old old loft. And

21:55

And then Ron Atkinson's character is like, like,

21:57

oh, Oh, that's good. You're fired. fired. And

21:59

it turns out. that just this like power hungry slime

22:01

ball who just wants it all for himself.

22:03

There's so many kind of parts to the story

22:05

that you could kind of like change into

22:07

different elements of the game. I was kind of

22:09

thinking like sort of a, an old school

22:12

like RPG type game where you can kind of

22:14

interact with, there's lots of like conversations to

22:16

be had. You can obviously use the G to

22:18

cast spells. And those spells could be kind

22:20

of, not spells, sorry, the wishes, they could be

22:22

kind of anything. So you could use it

22:24

for good, you could use it for not so

22:26

good. And then obviously when you do that,

22:28

you have like almost like a. reputation bar

22:30

Reputation bar, yes. so you'd have something like

22:32

a lot like an honor level Exactly. Yeah,

22:34

yeah, yeah. Alar Red redemption to okay yeah

22:36

where if you you know you interact you

22:38

treat people well and you do you do

22:40

wishes for them and make them kind of

22:42

feel happy then you know your honor goes

22:44

up or your reputation goes up and if

22:46

you go for bad then you know. that

22:48

obviously then in turn That boy says I

22:50

want a Nintendo. he

22:53

doesn't even know the NES I think, isn't

22:55

he? literally and then you get things like there's

22:57

a girl that asked for a horse she's

22:59

like a horse comes walking out of Santa's Grotto.

23:01

And people are like, like Gary Linnaker. And he

23:03

comes out, Gary Linnaker walks out. What is

23:05

it? He says, he goes, look, look mum. Like,

23:07

and he's in the England kid. isn't he?

23:09

Yeah, Yeah, think you see This is 1991 bearing

23:11

in mind. So this is like a year

23:13

after the war. Yeah, exactly. So

23:16

this, this, and there's so many like nods to

23:18

everything. I mean, obviously it'd be a licensing nightmare

23:20

because in the game, you know, could you put

23:22

a terminator in it? Could you put all the

23:24

other songs and stuff in it? We don't know.

23:26

But yeah, I was thinking, yeah, yeah, a third

23:28

RPG, kind of lots of interaction. And You could,

23:30

and it's like a, there's like a, it's very

23:32

choice based. It's a bit like Fable. Yeah, exactly. So

23:34

So you can, you choose your path almost. Like,

23:36

you know, you're going to go to a sort of,

23:38

you're going to be a bit sort of maniacal

23:40

and kind of have a bit of fun with the

23:42

wishes and kind of like trick people up and

23:44

not give them what they want. Or, you you know,

23:46

so there's a lot of choice there. There's a

23:49

lot of like RPG based choice. But yeah, you're thrown

23:51

into a situation. And then from the get go,

23:53

you know, from when you see the genie, you then

23:55

have to. decide which way you're going

23:57

to go and And you can you to,

23:59

you can choose. Well, this this is the

24:01

tricky bit so you could either have like

24:03

a predetermined like wish list It depends how

24:05

modern we want to go Because obviously on

24:07

modern consoles you could kind of do almost

24:09

anything Yeah, so it depends on where I

24:11

haven't quite decided on where I'd set it

24:13

But if I was thinking if it was

24:15

set like late 90s like ps1, yeah, I

24:17

think that would kind of work Yeah, because

24:19

obviously now the story might be seen as

24:21

some people like a bit dating stuff like

24:23

that But it is quite a simple TV

24:25

movie, but there's so many elements to it

24:27

that yeah I think you could probably get

24:29

a way of making that kind of choice

24:31

based game and those choices then obviously go

24:33

on to other choices and they have effects

24:35

on the world that you're in and the

24:38

people that you're with And that affects your

24:40

interaction with them. Obviously if you go too

24:42

far and you're just an absolute power hungry

24:44

maniac then people are not going to want

24:46

to talk to you that you then can't

24:48

get what you need and you know, might

24:50

end up shooting yourself. jail. in the actual

24:52

film itself he does go to jail doesn't

24:54

he? because he does actually. Did you know

24:56

why? He killed someone. He killed the with

24:58

a sword didn't he? Yeah, essentially. because there's

25:00

police his flat. It got dark real fast. Yes

25:02

and no. It's a quite, I want to

25:04

tongue in cheek, but it's it's it's there's nothing

25:06

of violent about it. There's no blood or

25:08

anything like that. The guy literally just goes like

25:11

that, like quite comedically falls to the floor.

25:13

But he wishes he had the he has the

25:15

Mona Lisa in his living room. The genie

25:17

obviously obliges the Mona Lisa is his living room.

25:19

And his old employer, and I can't remember

25:21

his name for the life of me, but Ron

25:23

Atkinson's character is basically standing in his living

25:25

room saying, right, well, you're in a bit of

25:28

trouble then, aren't you? Because you've got the Mona

25:30

Lisa in your living room, and there's

25:32

police there and everything. And they go to

25:34

jail. And I think the genie actually

25:36

manages to like rewind the whole situation. Bernard

25:38

goes, well, I just wish it never

25:40

happened. And And he does this rewind and

25:42

then replays it. And obviously Bernard Bernard

25:44

gets rid of the Mona Lisa before they

25:46

switch the light on. And obviously they

25:48

all look, all the police look a bit

25:50

stupid because they come down and it's

25:52

a picture of, you know, age? What on

25:54

the wall instead? It's a woman, isn't

25:56

it? It's Kylie. Kylie Menard, then. Nice. Oh

26:00

yeah, I'd rather have a picture I'd Kylie, yeah. there we go, I mean

26:02

there's so many there we go, I mean so much

26:04

fun many genie as well, with have so much fun

26:06

with like, he impersonates Barry well, does this thing, he's walking because

26:08

he just room with like a Barry White, he

26:10

does this thing, he's walking White, he room thing,

26:12

leather around the with room with like a leather body suit, like a

26:14

with calls, White he calls full volume. people, He doesn't

26:16

have to answer a phone, taking, like taking, like

26:19

just so many, it, like taking names he calls like

26:21

there, like, like there, like there, it away from Christmas

26:23

for a second, there, like there, like quite an interesting

26:25

mechanic that you could have in a

26:27

video game, there, like there, thing. like there, like there, like there,

26:29

Just for this film this film could make

26:31

like you game about something similar. something similar. Yeah,

26:33

I think the whole choice, the whole choice, because

26:36

rest of the game then rides

26:38

on to grant, you know, effectively a good wish to wish or

26:40

know, effectively a good wish or

26:42

a bad wish, or to use it

26:44

for, you know, negative Collection, you know,

26:46

there's a rewind button. Drive So in

26:48

the you've slapped, you know. Yeah. Oh, I shouldn't have done that. But

26:51

I think with that, because he I shouldn't have

26:53

done that. we I think I think

26:55

with that, I think only gets we only

26:57

see it once in the film. like,

26:59

like think there's probably only like, maybe like, like,

27:01

should be able to like, like, like, like, if

27:03

you've really messed up like, like, like, like, like,

27:05

get to a point where you've got

27:08

like no like, nobody wants to talk to

27:10

you you, then kind of can't do

27:12

anything almost so you have to have to, yeah,

27:14

I mean, mean there's a lot of nuances around

27:16

it would actually work. yeah, I'd kind of I'd kind

27:18

of see like maybe press, perhaps with a PS2 era,

27:20

maybe PS2 better, because you would be better a bit more,

27:22

more more leeway with you. But I I think yeah, solid.

27:25

I love the film. I'm going to have the film. out. And gonna

27:27

have to check it out. heard of it heard it.

27:29

it. along with Merry with Merry Christmas, Mr. Bean, which

27:31

isn't the movie, it's just a TV show,

27:33

but yeah yeah but I have a yeah have a real that's a

27:35

real tradition for us as well, with Jingle all

27:37

But I, way but I've you if you you have

27:39

to see it. it have to check it out.

27:41

it I think, I think it's on YouTube. I

27:43

I think is is on YouTube. version it's not it's like a

27:45

It's not crystal clear. It's like a VHS

27:47

version. I don't think they've ever done yeah which

27:49

release, which is a real shame, because

27:51

I think like be like be be quite quite well

27:53

received, because there's a lot of people people

27:55

that that quite like it, but it's a

27:57

great a great film, and it's hilarious.

27:59

so Yeah, definitely get that. get on the

28:01

on the watch list. Bug yet. Ye off. That's what

28:04

he says. what he it. That's it. Entee ye. Entee ye.

28:06

Rhine Atkinson stills the show in that film my opinion.

28:08

He's the best in that. Ron Atkinson

28:10

is just brilliant in anything though,

28:12

let's be honest, but brilliant done. I

28:14

age you remembered that really well. I

28:16

think it is of you remember think

28:18

28:21

28:23

28:31

very nice kind words some my kind words about

28:33

my wish system. as bad. I as bad

28:35

now. I was thought we were gonna

28:38

go crashing down in flames there, but

28:40

I don't feel too bad about

28:42

that bad about that now. Excellent. Yeah, my pick, pick. Adrian!

28:44

Well I've already started, well I've watched one Christmas watched one

28:46

Christmas movie this year I'm it's the

28:48

one I'm gonna talk about. So to

28:51

said to want to talk about, I wanna

28:53

watch this film and it's pretty it's

28:55

Christmas movie. It's evolved over time. over

28:57

time, already done Batman We've already done Batman Returns. Yeah, I

28:59

know. It's a black and white movie, movie so

29:01

it is a very famous game. Very famous famous movie. I absolutely love

29:03

it. It's I It's a love it. It's called

29:05

I a Wonderful Life. beautiful I think it's

29:07

a beautiful story. slow It's quite a

29:09

slow film, but in a weird way

29:11

that adds to it. It builds up

29:13

to that crescendo tools the last half an

29:15

hour. Classic. Yeah. It's Yeah. It's about George Bailey,

29:18

obviously. I'm I'm telling people things everyone

29:20

knows. It's George who you see his see as and

29:22

he helps people as a people as a helper. of

29:24

a small town a part of a small

29:26

town called Bedford Falls. Falls. and he goes

29:28

through life, wanted to travel the world world and

29:30

he wants to see Europe and all

29:32

this, but everything kind of keeps kind of keeps

29:34

this little town town and he's always helping

29:36

people. He never really seems to get

29:38

much luck himself. get much this evil kind of

29:40

bank this evil kind Potter, I think it is.

29:43

I And he's always kind of trying to

29:45

control the whole town, making sure everyone

29:47

gets into debt and so forth. whole town making

29:49

sure George Bailey, gets who I think is

29:51

a really good character, so James. but to say

29:53

old Mr George Bailey who I think is yeah, a really good character

29:55

James I want to say James Jew yeah yeah he's He's a great actor

29:57

actually. And he's so good in so good in that.

30:00

It builds up to where his uncle kind of

30:02

loses some money and actually gives it to Mr

30:04

Potter and the whole movie. He has a bit

30:06

of a breakdown which I don't like seeing but

30:08

it's very, you can't help but watch it. Remember

30:10

that bit in the film when he snaps at

30:12

his family, he thinks he's going to go to

30:14

jail and he kind of loses it and he

30:16

almost considers throwing himself into the river I think

30:18

it was that way, technically did. But luckily for

30:21

him an angel comes down and he jumps in

30:23

saves the angel. He thinks it's an old man

30:25

really and this angel sort of grants him a

30:27

weird wish and he'll see what his life would

30:29

be like if he was never born. And it's

30:31

a very interesting movie. It switches completely and the

30:33

whole town has changed to Pottosville and it's full

30:35

of CD shops. Yeah. you know it's craps and

30:37

everything is crap without crap and it's it's like

30:39

croyden today i was going for croyd and taking

30:42

it it's just potty fill that took us half

30:44

an hour to pass it it's like back to

30:46

the future too when Biff gets the almanac yeah

30:48

yeah it's so well done towers and all that

30:50

yeah I think my favorite bit of the movie

30:52

obviously when he when he Right the end is

30:54

brilliant, but I love that bit when he's in

30:56

the bar and he's such a low-end. This is

30:58

just before he dives into the river and he

31:01

assumes into James' face and he's such good acting

31:03

in it. I think it's a very powerful movie

31:05

about what you don't know what you do to

31:07

people. until you sort of sit back a little

31:09

bit and reflect a little bit and he's an

31:11

amazing it's an amazing story and I thought to

31:13

myself it could be a quite interesting open world

31:15

game kind of a black and white open world

31:17

nice black and white black and white open world

31:20

game you could go around as good old George

31:22

and it kind of goes for his life and

31:24

you're helping people out and you're making sure that

31:26

the the old farmers as you're working and doesn't

31:28

poison and doesn't that bit right you know that

31:30

you make sure you make sure that you make

31:32

sure that you make it's well. Yeah, everyone opens

31:34

up the floor. I think it'd be a really

31:36

sweet little movie, but there's like a portal. If

31:38

you go to the bridge, you can chuck yourself

31:41

over the bridge and you can see what life

31:43

would be like in Pottersville. Dark and stuff

31:45

like that. there's, there there

31:47

could be houses to throw,

31:49

windows windows out. don't remember

31:51

that scene. scene. I think, I can't

31:53

think the girl's name, but

31:55

she froze a rocker at the the

31:57

window. It be be like a

32:00

of an of game. And

32:02

I just think be a

32:04

nice a nice. world game, a

32:06

A little bit like what

32:08

James was saying, you're

32:10

going to try and help

32:12

people out and it

32:14

builds up your kind of

32:17

people out and it builds up your kind you

32:19

just keep it like that? all. would

32:21

you flip it to the bit where

32:23

obviously he's kind of watching you flip it

32:25

to the bit That could be that could

32:27

be the sort of second part

32:30

of the game stuff happen? That could be, that could be

32:32

the you have to go through part of

32:34

the game possible. Yeah, to to do things in both.

32:36

Yes. And and it could be almost

32:38

like like Hill. Did you ever play you

32:40

ever play soul, soul reaver? No. Like with the, you basically, you

32:43

between the two worlds. The two worlds,

32:45

the two worlds. The two worlds. So you basically, so what is is

32:47

like, he has to, when he, been ages since I've

32:49

played it, but you basically have to

32:51

since I've and stuff. Yeah. basically have to like harvest souls

32:53

and stuff. Yeah. As well, when you get to a when you

32:55

get to a certain level, then you

32:57

kind of have to flip to the

32:59

the. the other or like certain things are different yes

33:01

see in the other world. yeah because you have to

33:03

solve like yeah because you have to solve like move move blocks they're

33:05

only visible or only or in the

33:07

different world. the different world yeah yeah so the way you

33:10

kind of flip it, flip it know, know

33:12

George could flip between the two kind

33:14

of worlds where he's there and he's

33:16

not there. That'd be interesting. not there. he's he's

33:18

got yes, not talk he's things deal. Let's long

33:20

I've had to wait for the

33:22

next things. on the way. had to been

33:24

on the way for two years been

33:26

on the way for the way. than

33:28

two years for two years, been on the way you than

33:31

two you seen It's been on the no, for

33:33

been too busy. two years. Is it more than two years?

33:35

Is it more than two years? Did you know? It's a wonderful life.

33:37

Yeah movie. It's a wonderful movie.

33:39

And it could could be a wonderful game. could be

33:41

be. It could be nice, nice game in the sense sense you're

33:43

trying to build up, you're helping people and

33:45

you're making a difference. But a the idea

33:47

that it can be spun around and the the

33:49

other the dark, be dark side. the other, the dark side.

33:51

some great characters in that movie as well.

33:53

that I really like it. And I know I

33:55

know everyone's watched it, but it's a very powerful

33:57

movie. it's very you guys enjoy the film? enjoy the

33:59

film? in a long time. yeah, it's like

34:01

you say, it's very moving as well.

34:03

It's been a few years, but it's

34:06

enough to make a grown man. The

34:08

first time I watched it, was like,

34:10

well, what is this? It just puts

34:12

you into bits. dull. That's not really

34:14

a bit. It's quite slow. It's slow

34:16

burner. It kind of builds up. I

34:18

love it. just dismantles you towards the

34:20

end, because you just draw so many

34:22

comparisons to... It doesn't matter how old

34:24

it is. It's completely... No, it's very

34:26

relatable. It's so relevant. It doesn't matter

34:28

how far back the release was. It's

34:30

still relevant. No, some things, still. It

34:32

doesn't matter what time period you're in.

34:35

And something like that, exactly, when it

34:37

gets made, I don't even think they

34:39

potentially realised when they made it. No,

34:41

probably not. such an impact now, and

34:43

maybe even more so now. was popular

34:45

when it was first released. It was

34:47

a big hit, was it? No, not

34:49

at all. It was only when it

34:51

got the free to air after 10

34:53

years, when people could just play it

34:55

for free on TV. It built up

34:57

a bit of a following. There

35:00

will be people out there who haven't

35:02

bothered to watch it. Please do. Yeah, it's

35:04

a hearty recommendation from us, if you've

35:06

seen you a lot of spoilers. I'm sorry.

35:08

If you're not wasted by now, come

35:10

on, guys. Yeah, that's a good shout. Yeah,

35:13

I it. We didn't like that. Thank

35:15

you, Dylan. So, yeah, there could be a

35:17

wonderful game. What is not going to

35:19

be a wonderful game is... Here we go,

35:21

ladies and gentlemen, embrace yourselves. So, this

35:23

is the thing, right? Because most of my

35:25

favorite movies have been made into games,

35:27

or other people have bags either in this

35:29

podcast. So, I hang out with our

35:31

friend Ross a lot. Our boys, they've been

35:33

chum since they were born, so that's

35:35

like six years ago. And we kind of

35:37

hang out, go to soft play with

35:39

them, and kind of talk about random stuff

35:41

while they're running around causing mayhem. And

35:44

I said to him, I said, I cannot

35:46

think of any... I see you cheated. Chris was,

35:48

I did. You got an idea from Ross.

35:50

Okay, but let's just see how good the idea

35:52

is. Okay. So, hi Ross, if he's listening.

35:54

As good as you can blame him, if he's

35:56

wrong. I really can, right? I really and

35:58

I really will. So, and I said, look... I

36:01

can't think of any like movies. So he

36:03

rattled off a couple of them like, yeah, that's

36:05

already been a video game. And I can't

36:07

do that one. And he was like, oh, love

36:09

actually. I'm like, I do like love actually

36:11

as a movie, but that's pretty hard. mean, you

36:13

can just have it as like, you could

36:15

just kind of seduce Marty. Like a Just Dance

36:17

game. could just be like Mark. You're pulling

36:19

him back and me. I actually really do like

36:21

love actually. That's a great idea. Actually, I

36:23

really do actually. I do love it. Hugh Grant

36:25

will be a great prime minister. I I'd

36:27

with that. Yeah, I'd with that. be a fantastic

36:29

prime minister. Who would be better, or

36:31

Trump in their what's face? Oh

36:33

Oh yeah, okay. Let's not get

36:35

too political. Billy Bob Thornton. Oh,

36:37

oh dear, forgot about that. Billy

36:39

Bob. So that didn't make the

36:41

cut. That's not your choice,

36:43

is it? No, no, no, no, no.

36:45

So then he was all, this idea

36:47

had a bit more legs. Have any

36:49

of you seen the holiday? Yes,

36:52

I am a fan. Yeah. I

36:54

think that. Look at his face. I

36:56

know it. Oh, I just don't

36:58

like the bike. Jude handsome in that.

37:00

Oh, he's very handsome. generally handsome,

37:02

isn't he? He's extremely handsome in this

37:04

movie. So I saw this movie

37:06

many years ago and this movie kind

37:08

of made me want to tear

37:10

up my eyes and my ears and

37:12

maybe throw my ears at myself.

37:14

But you know what? So what Ross

37:16

was saying is, OK, well, well,

37:18

you've got to tell everyone what it's

37:20

about. Sorry, the premise. The is

37:23

is Cameron Diaz's character. I forgot. No, it's

37:25

not as with Winslet, doesn't it? It's

37:27

not as with Kate Winslet. So actually,

37:29

so Winslet's character gets done the on. They

37:31

then end up doing some kind of

37:33

house. She ends up doing a house swap

37:35

with Cameron Diaz's character. So So then

37:37

she ends up going, so Cameron Diaz

37:39

is in America. Hollywood, think. Oh, Hollywood. Yeah.

37:42

And then Kate Winslet is in some

37:44

kind of cottage. Sorry,

37:46

Sorry, somewhere. Okay. Yeah. And they

37:48

trade lives. So it's basically like a

37:50

life thing. Okay. Again, I wouldn't

37:52

have done if I'd recommend anyone watch

37:54

it, per se, a soft spot.

37:56

But obviously I had some Jude Jude

37:59

Law. Jack Black I I

38:01

guess, the... counterpart and it's just a

38:03

lot of it's just a lot of love. of love and

38:05

lot of love and it's very of of Christmassy, but

38:07

also very kind of dull for me and I

38:09

didn't really like it. really Ross

38:11

was like, Ross let's flip the let's bit,

38:13

because we the script a bit because than making

38:15

a video game on the holiday, game

38:17

not use that concept in video in

38:19

video game? What? So, hang on, on, this is

38:22

off script a bit, isn't it? This

38:24

isn't, sorry. Sorry, you us a brief,

38:26

and then you go, you go, I'm not going to

38:28

follow it. see where it goes. it it's

38:30

my podcast. it's my All right, Anyway, all

38:32

I'll shut up. play, okay, I'll shut up.

38:34

this podcast. this podcast. Anyway, so,

38:37

imagine a minute. minute that Cameron

38:39

Diaz's character isn't Cameron

38:41

Diaz, but maybe but maybe Princess

38:43

Peach. And maybe obviously she

38:45

lives in the lives in the mushroom

38:47

you see how I'm going

38:49

with this? how I'm going with Kate

38:51

And Kate Winslet. Maybe she

38:54

was wasn't Kate Winslet. Maybe she called a James Souther.

38:56

Maybe she was she was called

38:58

Yeah, to see where I'm going see where

39:00

I'm going with this. would

39:02

be a game. Like would be a

39:04

game. She's like with Sonic

39:06

and Mary. But But what you

39:09

do is, you basically swap video

39:11

games essentially and take. different different characters

39:13

and and in the other other ones

39:15

in violence. So you have where your peach but

39:17

peach, in but you're in the

39:19

Green zone. And you're in the able hill. Someone

39:21

did that, didn't they? They

39:23

put Mario in in a Sonic game

39:25

started. Yeah, This is it. the Sonic

39:27

seen the Sonic in a Mario

39:29

game. be really it's been really

39:31

difficult, because the whole of the of

39:34

the holiday I think Kate think its characters

39:36

having a great time. time. Whereas Cameron

39:38

Diaz's really struggling with living in

39:40

Surrey. with We all Surrey in Surrey. We

39:42

all do. Yeah, but this is this is

39:44

the thing. So Amy would would have

39:46

trouble Mary, Mario levels. They need a bit more boinging,

39:48

a bit more floaty for a bit more

39:50

Yes, if you've been able to leave. Yeah. Whereas, you

39:52

know, Prince of you know going

39:54

to speech isn't gonna have the speed through

39:56

go through plants. True that, true. You You know? all

39:58

all of that of... And then it

40:00

kind of then you can, of know,

40:02

it's endless, you could like just You

40:04

through the go go through the games and

40:07

go through the 3D ones. through the 3D ones.

40:09

You can can peach and the Hedgehog. Why not?

40:11

a Give Peach a gun. a pizza gun! Give

40:13

a pizza Give Peach a gun. gun! Sticker in

40:15

the Hedgehog. And some cool And some cool

40:17

like roller skate things like that. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Are you

40:19

just switching the Mario or could you do

40:21

could you do Jute Newt, the whole everything? Well, this Well,

40:23

this is it. So is is just

40:25

for this game, right? So this would just

40:27

be be like Sonics World with Mario as

40:29

well. well. you could, like, do do Newt... Duke Newton versus Kirby. I

40:31

Kirby. you stick with a master know. I mean, evil universe. It'd be over

40:34

in a flash. Chief in the all Evil zombies are It'd be

40:36

It'd be like a a flash, game. That's it. that's it. So all

40:38

dead. a nutshell, that would be the zombies are dead, come up with. I

40:40

apologize. We think game. ones That's it. then that that's it. to

40:42

So, basically, just to fill in a nutshell, just to that fill up

40:44

be enough. we That's the best I could come

40:46

up with. we do. Before we do. we think of any good

40:48

ones we the cuff, then, that would be good

40:50

to Before we go on, we just to fill Before we do. Before

40:52

do Before we do. Before you know what you've done do. Before

40:54

we do. You You know what you've done then? This

40:56

is then, this is This is absolutely classic deal. You've

40:59

gone, you've gone, gone, here's an idea. an

41:01

Let's get everyone else to come up

41:03

with the else to come up with the ideas. What we'll do

41:05

is we'll do is we'll open it

41:07

up to the floor. Let them tell tell us

41:09

what but I tell you what, I do like, I do tell

41:11

you what, I do that like that

41:13

idea. there kind of like kind of in but but

41:15

actually that is a really good idea. good

41:17

because It's fun. much fun with that. have

41:19

so there's so many possibilities. It's have to

41:21

do levels different. that. So you basically, you'd be you'd be

41:23

like replaying games that you like, but

41:26

you have to do them you have Like you

41:28

can't. them example. I couldn't see how this

41:30

worked though. Oh, the link into a I

41:32

Island game. You can't talk to anyone, you

41:34

don't though, you have to do everything silently.

41:36

57:28

The genius of a Contra t

57:30

-shirt. playing on my

57:32

misgivings on the radio show

57:34

to the nation and

57:36

then then... Yeah. are you

57:39

doing It it pretty good

57:41

thing by right well

57:43

I will try in vain to

57:45

follow that. I fear this might not work,

57:47

But I but have put some thought

57:49

into these. Yeah, So, age you're first. I

57:51

call you age, everyone else, because you

57:53

age with Tomato, tomato. yeah. Yeah, wrapping paste.

57:56

Yeah, I like it. know what? I that.

57:58

Do you know what? I thought know, I

58:00

the trend a little bit because I thought

58:02

trend a and I bit, home and I was

58:04

like, oh wow, look at this. Christmas This

58:06

is I saw that This is the and I

58:08

was like, oh wow, look at this. This is the, heard

58:10

about it. this is the creed, limited edition, there's

58:12

actually a really cool, there's a

58:14

really cool comic shop that's opened in

58:16

Red Hill, which is near, not

58:18

far from a limited they've got, they've got

58:20

a of these, comic shop all wrapped up

58:22

in their in so you don't Hill,

58:24

ear is like that. far, And they're a

58:26

limited edition, I think there's probably

58:28

about four or five at the moment,

58:30

but they're limited limited run so you didn't have

58:32

that many. So that many like, I

58:34

saw those saw I thought, I thought that's cool

58:36

all over Adrian all over him can read read

58:38

him but obviously These are really cool,

58:40

man. cool heard about these actually. so I think

58:42

was it like a like a limited series?

58:44

a short show run or three believe and the next round I

58:47

believe. And then the next round,

58:49

58:51

They've got got a Donis got board's bought a Donnis

58:53

Creed's Green's daughter now fighting now fighting in the the

58:55

ring. the ring So I think the number one, which is

58:57

the one which is the one behind

58:59

that one, has Adonis has And in it,

59:01

I think. And then the second one

59:03

is his daughter, one and then the

59:05

third one is her on with her felt

59:07

like going on with her exploits,

59:09
