Dig

0:25

Shock.

0:30

for my amusement. I mean,

0:32

no one in particular,

0:34

certainly not anyone at this

0:36

table, I can feel a stare in a

0:39

hole through right now, comments, just. movie across

0:41

the room. I don't understand. Andy's not here.

0:43

I don't know. You're the target because you're

0:45

the easiest to look at because if I

0:47

look at Todd I got to look to

0:49

the left and strain my neck. I look

0:51

to the right. I see Steve and hurt

0:53

my eyes. Yeah, those say calories. You know,

0:55

I now I want that I want that

0:57

I want that t-shirt. I just turned to

0:59

the right. Okay. Barry says I'm the easiest

1:01

to look at. Yeah. Oh, wow, I did not

1:04

I did not mean it like that.

1:06

So to Barry you are easy on

1:08

the eyes. I am. No, he's easy

1:10

on the neck because that I'm on

1:12

the screen. Commander Kay, easy on the

1:14

neck. Yeah, if he sits directly across

1:16

from you. Yeah, ladies, just so you

1:18

know. Yeah, easy on the neck. Don't

1:20

sit right across from Steve

1:23

because it'll give me that that

1:25

that give you that look that

1:27

he gave me. Steve can do

1:29

this awful face. It's like the

1:31

top half of his face is

1:34

scowling, but the bottom face is

1:36

this joker smile. That is, the

1:38

whole thing is upsetting. Just as

1:40

absolutely to the core disturbing.

1:43

Horrible rickness. Yeah, it's like

1:45

it triggers something in my

1:47

lizard brain from eons ago.

1:49

Yeah. It's like fight or

1:51

flight. Yes. Yeah. And I

1:53

want to do both. Yeah.

1:55

Yep, that's, I did joke

1:57

her a couple of Halloween.

2:00

and just only with my

2:02

only with my actual face

2:04

no prosthetics involved and boy

2:07

did my face hurt at

2:09

the end of the day

2:12

this is the most un

2:14

pretty thing I've ever seen

2:17

really un pretty that's right

2:19

that's the word That sounds

2:22

very modern. Un pretty? Yeah.

2:24

Oh yeah, because kids say

2:26

like, unalive, unalived, un-alived, so,

2:29

so, so, so, so, so,

2:31

so, so, so, Barry's very

2:34

un pretty. Yeah, shit. That's

2:36

impossible. I like unpassable. Welcome

2:39

folks to Geek Shock number

2:41

770. I am Master Torigo.

2:44

Commander Kay. I'm changing my

2:46

knee. How do you spell

2:48

that? I don't know, you

2:51

figure it out. It's gonna

2:53

have some wing dings in

2:56

it. Wing dings. Simply an

2:58

A, to start with. I

3:01

don't know, it could be

3:03

a you. Yeah, could be

3:06

a you. I think it

3:08

sounds more like a... So

3:10

you P, is that what I'm

3:13

hearing? Up? No, that up. No,

3:15

there's a glottal stop in there.

3:17

You can't say oh you got

3:19

to have the dope for Homer

3:21

Simpson. Okay, you know, you got

3:23

to have that. But it's not

3:25

an oh it's more of a

3:27

no no I'm not saying that

3:30

it's exactly the same but it's

3:32

like that it's like there's something

3:34

in there that you wouldn't necessarily

3:36

transcribe but it's there. Do you

3:38

okay? Do Chad Randall who we

3:40

used to work with at Star

3:42

Trek the experience? Well is the

3:44

belt working! Because Andy gave it

3:47

to us. Okay, I gotta paint

3:49

the non-radio picture. There's... Andy got

3:51

us a bell because a long

3:53

time ago, Barry decided to download

3:55

a bell app. It worked horribly.

3:57

It ended up turning into me.

3:59

Hold on, hang on. So Andy

4:01

recently got us a belt for

4:03

awfulness. A bell that's attached to

4:06

like a frame. Yes. It's ringing

4:08

the new year. And I just

4:10

tried to ring it for when

4:12

you're supposed to take a drink

4:14

and then it went. So let

4:16

me try it again. Okay, now

4:18

it decides to work. Well, you

4:20

got to make sure that the

4:23

stem is up. Okay. It was

4:25

stuck down. The moment's gone. The

4:27

stucky stem. Yeah, so what I'm

4:29

saying is there's a horrible bell

4:31

on the show now. Anyway, this

4:33

dude Chad used to like go

4:35

to a party at this at

4:37

this house we always used to

4:39

go to and out of like

4:42

there's a big crowd in the

4:44

kitchen and there's lots of talking

4:46

and noise but you could always

4:48

hear him going really loud. Like

4:50

he wanted to make the loudest

4:52

sound ever. Yeah, so I always

4:54

thought of him like I, you

4:56

know, he was a little special.

4:58

is always smashed. So gentlemen, what

5:01

geeky things did you do this

5:03

week? Please. I continued the watch

5:05

of Enterprise. Oh my God. I

5:07

am at the fourth season. Oh,

5:09

so you're where supposedly gets good.

5:11

Wow, you have been binging then

5:13

because I've been binging. Wow. Tip

5:15

my hat to you, sir. Just

5:18

like. The other night, Deb was

5:20

working really, really late. And so

5:22

I was like, fuck, I'm just

5:24

going to just power through and

5:26

just watch as much of this

5:28

as possible while playing Balatra on

5:30

the other screen. Yeah, I'm still

5:32

playing. That's great. I am in

5:34

season four episode two or three.

5:37

It's after the Khan sing, the

5:39

eugenics people. Yeah, augment. Yeah, the

5:41

augment, thank you. They're doing trip

5:43

wrong. And I know where it

5:45

goes with him too, but... but

5:47

I can see they're just slowly

5:49

just just beating on him as

5:51

a character and I don't like

5:54

it because I think he's actually

5:56

interesting. I like what they did

5:58

in season three with Archer. They

6:00

kind of made him pirates a

6:02

little bit. There's one episode where

6:04

they straight up pirate some shit

6:06

and Archer's got he's dealing with

6:08

it. He's slowly becoming angry and

6:10

he'll like choke a fuck her

6:13

out if he doesn't get what

6:15

he wants. I'm getting more respect

6:17

for the guy as a captain

6:19

because he's got a mission and

6:21

Earth is in the balance and

6:23

he can't he can't mess around

6:25

you know he's got to get

6:27

what he needs to save the

6:30

earth and he's not gonna let

6:32

some moral code get in the

6:34

way of saving the planet as

6:36

anyone should Planet I live here

6:38

all my stuff is here I'm

6:40

gonna save it so it's more

6:42

interesting in the third season yeah

6:44

and there's not as many throw

6:46

there are some Wagging the finger

6:49

of shame here. There are some

6:51

throwaway episodes. Of course what you're

6:53

gonna get in a 20-something Yeah

6:55

episode season. I hate the throwaway

6:57

episodes. They're really lame. It's like

6:59

okay. Let's let's do like the

7:01

classic Star Trek thing and and

7:03

just talk about One moral issue

7:05

make that the whole crux of

7:08

the of the episode But it

7:10

doesn't move the overarching story along.

7:12

It's just Let's talk about how

7:14

we would deal with this weird

7:16

thing, you know? But did you

7:18

see what Matt and I were

7:20

talking about? It shouldn't have been

7:22

the Zindi. It should have been

7:25

the Romulans. Yeah, I agree. Yeah,

7:27

it should have been the Romulans.

7:29

The Zindi are just, they pulled

7:31

them out of their ass. Yeah.

7:33

I mean, I mean, it makes

7:35

sense. They kind of made them

7:37

interesting in having multiple intelligent species

7:39

evolve on the same planet. That's

7:41

kind of a cool idea. But

7:44

as a big bad. a complicated

7:46

big bad and set in the

7:48

era that enterprise is set in

7:50

that should have been the beginning

7:52

of the Earth-Romain War. They wanted

7:54

to do something new. I know

7:56

and that's horseshit. That's one of

7:58

the big problems of a prequel.

8:01

One of the smart moves and

8:03

discovery. Oh, this is a prequel.

8:05

You know what? Let's send them

8:07

several hundred years, a thousand years

8:09

into the future. Yeah. And I

8:11

mean shit. They're like, they're even,

8:13

uh, dare we say it violating

8:15

quote. Canon in strange new worlds

8:17

to do it and they're getting

8:20

away with it Well, I think

8:22

that just shows it's not easy

8:24

And I and I looked up

8:26

some things about the eugenics wars

8:28

and stuff and Because I was

8:30

I was funny about the timelines

8:32

and they did change them They

8:34

did change the time they did

8:37

change where he came from and

8:39

everything and they chalk that up

8:41

to timeline fuckery. Yeah, you know

8:43

fine. That's great If it works

8:45

it works, it works. Yeah, yeah.

8:47

Khan was not from India, now

8:49

he's from like Vancouver or something.

8:51

Fine, who cares? But still, sure.

8:53

From Indian ancestry. Yeah. Which, oddly

8:56

enough, would explain why he has

8:58

no beard in space seed. True,

9:00

true, true. Because the Sikhs were

9:02

bearded. I don't know how to

9:04

explain Benedict Cumberbatch, but no. No,

9:06

no. Well, I know the real

9:08

world explanation, but it's. Who cares?

9:10

Yeah, that's that's a completely alternate

9:13

timeline. Yeah, you know and Lower

9:15

decks opened it up so that

9:17

whatever comes next doesn't have to

9:19

adhere to some of the crap

9:21

that they laid on us in

9:23

Enterprise and other in other series.

9:25

So that's good. Because now we

9:27

can now we can have Star

9:29

Trek free of baggage from The

9:32

time of like the 80s and

9:34

90s where we had the non-epis

9:36

they had episodic TV and not

9:38

serial TV they didn't Right it

9:40

was juvenile. I think the writing

9:42

a lot of times. You know.

9:44

Oh, well. Yeah a friend of

9:46

mine actually summed it up a

9:48

long long time ago when it

9:51

was just next generation he said

9:53

it's writing it strikes him as

9:55

writing by intelligent 14 year olds

9:57

for intelligent 14 year olds yeah

9:59

that's that's very good I agree

10:01

with that but the writing's getting

10:03

better I'm thinking by the fifth

10:05

season they'll find their strike oh

10:08

wait then they'll screw it up

10:10

at the end because I know

10:12

how it ends so now I'm

10:14

just in I mean they do

10:16

shit like to Paul gets married

10:18

and oh well I guess I'll

10:20

just be sademptive yeah and everyone

10:22

said that the show really should

10:24

have ended with teranova which is

10:27

the episode prior to the actual

10:29

final episode so when you get

10:31

there you'll go oh yeah that

10:33

would have been a good place

10:35

to end yeah I mean they

10:37

do shit like to Paul gets

10:39

married and oh well I guess

10:41

I'll just be sad Tucker now

10:44

you know you know yeah Like

10:46

that's the end of the episode.

10:48

Bad ending. Like you're flipping through

10:50

a choose your own adventure book

10:52

and you get to a bad

10:54

ending and you say well fuck

10:56

this book and just toss it

10:58

away. No! Do what everyone else

11:00

does. Go back a few pages.

11:03

Yeah. Get something nice. Well they

11:05

kind of do. Yeah. Yeah. So

11:07

otherwise? Not a whole lot. Been

11:09

a little busy. But that's still

11:11

a lot of style. That's a

11:13

solid amount of time. That is

11:15

a solid amount of time. I've

11:17

been devoting to that. So I

11:20

did try enterprise and I just

11:22

really couldn't get past the first

11:24

season. Yeah. I'm doing a rewatch

11:26

and thing I forgot to mention

11:28

last time is there are actually

11:30

some just in the first seven

11:32

episodes I think I've done. You

11:34

know, I haven't been religiously doing

11:36

a rewatch. But there are some

11:39

episodes, I'm like, oh, that's actually

11:41

a really good Star Trek episode,

11:43

and then the next episode comes.

11:45

long and I'm like Who wrote

11:47

this? I'm sorry I did do

11:49

one other thing while I was

11:51

cleaning we were cleaning out our

11:53

garage for like two days because

11:55

that's what one does and I

11:58

Organized the games that I'm going

12:00

16:19

You have to shop. There's no

16:21

16:32

Well then, maybe... Maybe we

16:36

it. And while you're at

16:38

it. Big no to any

16:40

opally game. Oh. So before

16:42

we do our Twilight Imperium,

17:11

know, I can't speak, of course,

17:14

for the Andy games because Andy

17:16

gets games used. So he finds

17:18

them in, you know, where, whatever

17:21

place and buys them. But overall

17:23

games that were given to Barry

17:26

or bought by Barry and Deb,

17:28

they're going to be in very

17:30

good condition because they take good care

17:32

of their games. Oh no, they're all

17:34

in very good. Well, some of the

17:36

Andy games are not in great condition.

17:39

Well, that's my preface. One of those

17:41

game on there legends of the hidden

17:43

temple that thing's beat to shed is

17:45

beat to yeah, and it's also got

17:47

like a like a terrible rating Mm-hmm.

17:49

On board game. Yeah, and I don't expect

17:51

it to have anything good, but so that's

17:53

a giveaway. I'm gonna have a few giveaways.

17:56

There you go. See Barry and then free

17:58

game. Yeah, I'm really just doing this clear

18:00

out my closet of games and it cost

18:02

me 10 bucks for the table so if

18:04

I make 20 bucks that's enough for the

18:06

table and like a beer so did you

18:08

go did you go through these games as

18:11

you were pulling them out of the closet

18:13

well yeah we went through all of them

18:15

like open the box and make sure everything's

18:17

there yeah yeah yeah yeah we removed

18:19

all the babies that's what I was getting

18:21

at we did take a good look at

18:23

them a lot of them weren't in the

18:26

closet They were outside in

18:28

the garage. Andy games. Oh, okay.

18:30

Yeah, they didn't earn a place

18:32

in it. In other words, the

18:35

babies are still in the glove.

18:37

I refuse refuse to devote time

18:39

to Digging around for babies. I

18:41

agree with you. It's going to

18:44

be a surprise when we

18:46

get it. Every time we

18:48

find one, Deb gives me

18:50

a look. And then somewhere

18:52

somewhere somewhere on the planet

18:54

wherever Torgo is. He just, he

18:56

feels this little twinge of

18:58

a happiness from spite. It's

19:01

like I grew a feather.

19:03

In your ass. Anyway, so

19:05

yeah, that's how that works.

19:07

Oh, it's the gift that keeps

19:10

giving. Yeah. Can't talk about

19:12

it here. Steve, what you

19:14

do? So, finally, I finished

19:17

a book that I just

19:19

could not concentrate on

19:21

while I was recuperating

19:24

and everything. I was intrigued

19:26

by the book Double or Nothing

19:28

by Kim Sherwood. It is

19:30

set in the James Bond

19:33

universe, but it's about other

19:35

double-os. Oh fun. And she

19:37

was commissioned by the Ian

19:39

Fleming Estate to write this

19:41

and there's already a sequel

19:44

and I think there's going

19:46

to be a third book

19:48

as well. So officially sanctioned.

19:50

Yes, officially sanctioned book about

19:52

some of the other double-os.

19:55

James Bond is missing.

19:57

So, so... Probably on purpose.

19:59

Yeah, he's like, I need

20:01

a vacation. And that's the aspect

20:04

of the book that I found

20:06

least satisfying. It's like, oh boy, of

20:08

course. This is like all the

20:11

Batman shows without Batman in it.

20:13

It's like, don't even mention

20:15

it. This is a book about

20:17

the other double-os. Right. It's

20:19

the Star Wars movies we

20:21

want. The ones without the

20:23

Skywalkers for a while. Yeah.

20:26

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Leave

20:28

Bond out. Plenty of. Plenty.

20:30

including Bond. It's like, no,

20:32

don't include Bond. It's like,

20:34

yeah, some of you have a

20:36

relationship with them, fine, you talk

20:38

about it, but you get on

20:40

with this mission. So like I

20:42

say, that's the least, that's satisfying

20:45

part of it. Two of

20:47

the characters are the author

20:49

having fun with character names.

20:51

One, I think, Torgel will

20:53

get, and one, I think, personal

20:56

get.003 is Johanna Harwood.

20:58

Am I getting it immediately?

21:01

Joanna Harwood in real

21:03

life wrote the first, wrote

21:05

the first three, double-o-3.

21:08

Very nice. The other

21:10

character is Sid Bashir,

21:13

double-o-9. Sid

21:15

Bashir? Yeah. Is that our

21:18

man Bashir? Yeah. Holy shit.

21:20

That's a DS9 episode. Double

21:22

nine? Double nine? Oh! The

21:24

name is Sid. Holy Ship

21:27

boss! Deep fucking cuts. Yeah.

21:29

And Alexander Sidig's real name

21:31

is Sid. Sid. Yeah. Who's

21:33

known to his friends as

21:36

Sid. And I was like.

21:38

Okay. Wow. Someone's having fun

21:40

with character names, and she

21:42

admits it in the acknowledgments.

21:45

So it's nice. The story

21:47

itself, because you, and

21:49

then there's another character,

21:51

something Dryden, John Dryden.

21:54

Anyway, that's just a name.

21:56

Uh, double O4. And so basically

21:59

you have. You have double

22:01

O3 and double O9 working

22:03

together on one aspect

22:05

of this case and then

22:07

double O4 is working another

22:10

aspect of it under deep

22:12

cover About this guy who's

22:14

sort of What if Elon Musk

22:17

was an environmentalist

22:19

who of course is not

22:21

an environmentalist? He's got nefarious

22:23

plans. And of course

22:25

he's being backed by

22:28

a new version of

22:30

a big bad terrorist

22:33

organization that's sort of

22:35

taken to place as

22:37

specter I guess. Okay,

22:40

no Smursh. No Smursh.

22:42

Yeah, it's rot. Rottenfonger or

22:44

something like that. Yeah. And

22:46

a movement, I see. I've

22:49

had one of those. Yeah.

22:51

There was the ointment though,

22:53

kind of. Yeah. And at

22:55

a certain point you realize

22:57

one of the others, one

23:00

of the other two bads,

23:02

either the industrialist or the

23:04

or the organization is playing

23:06

one against the other. So

23:09

they're double-crossing each other kind of

23:11

thing. I would respect Elon Musk

23:13

if he were a proper super

23:15

villain. He's got the money to

23:18

do it. He's just dumb as

23:20

dirt. He's dumb as fuck, dude.

23:22

He's a dumb bond villain. Yeah.

23:24

So, get, get, get. So overall...

23:26

I had to start wrapping my

23:29

head around... This is not a

23:31

James Bond book. This is about

23:33

the double-os. This is... and so...

23:35

There's not going to be

23:37

a streamlined story because you

23:39

got you know, you're cutting back

23:42

and forth using film terms You're

23:44

cutting back and forth between

23:46

these two parallel stories Sometimes

23:48

that gets in a way sometimes

23:51

that gets in a way of

23:53

the forward thrust of the story

23:55

But I'm intrigued enough by

23:57

the surviving characters that I

23:59

might I might pick up that

24:01

sequel. Whoa. Yeah. Steve's intrigued. Yeah.

24:04

But of course, I'm also, I

24:06

was also intrigued by them. Golly.

24:09

Geez. Christ. So we'll see. Maybe

24:11

I'm just a glutton for punishment.

24:13

Cuthullen feelings. Yeah. Cuthullen feelings. Yeah,

24:16

but. Well, but this is actually

24:18

better than that. I was going

24:21

to say, didn't, didn't, didn't you

24:23

just at some point in Kolkathulu

24:25

with feelings? You were just like,

24:28

I'm just hate watching this. Yeah,

24:30

yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm not,

24:32

you're not hate reading this. Hours

24:35

at a time though, okay. Well,

24:37

sometimes the hate is strong. I'm

24:40

watching Enterprise. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Three

24:42

seasons one and two and partially

24:44

three. And that is a much

24:47

bigger time commitment than than what

24:49

I spend on kathulu and feelings.

24:51

Um, the other thing I did

24:54

just because it came up and

24:56

I was like, huh, I wonder

24:59

if these are easily available. Uh,

25:01

I watched one of the Basel

25:03

Rathbone Nazelbru, Sherlock Holmes, a device

25:06

of terror. What happened with that

25:08

series. Wait, what, what, you were

25:10

this? This would be 1942. Drink!

25:13

It doesn't have a satisfying ding,

25:15

Sal. You're right, it doesn't. So...

25:18

So, um... Keep it in front

25:20

of you, put it on them.

25:22

Good, good. Good, good. What happened

25:25

with the Basil Rathbone series was

25:27

the first two movies, Hound of

25:29

Baskerville's and The Adventures of Sherlock

25:32

Holmes, were produced at Columbia, as...

25:34

A movies, so they had big

25:37

budget set in Victorian time, so

25:39

they went all out with costumes,

25:41

sets, everything like that. They decided

25:44

not to make any more movies.

25:46

Universal bought the rights and basically

25:48

produced them as B movies, and

25:51

so it shooed the Victorian era

25:53

and just updated homes to the

25:56

1940s. So there are Nazis running

25:58

around, etc., etc. Yeah, Basil Rathbone

26:00

going after Nazis. It and oh

26:03

boy the end of this movie

26:05

it Basel Rathbone thank God it

26:07

was him delivering this very kind

26:10

of yeah cornball over the top

26:12

patriotic there's an east wind blowing

26:15

Watson it'll be cold it'll be

26:17

sharp but we'll be the better

26:19

for it when it's past yeah

26:22

he did it too he t

26:24

sold it yeah and and because

26:27

they you know Spoilers, they defeat

26:29

the Nazi, the Nazi fifth column

26:31

in England. Yeah, because the story

26:34

was actually pretty good. It's in,

26:36

it's a seaborne invasion of Britain

26:38

that they didn't know was coming.

26:41

What? Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah. And

26:43

I think, I think the voice

26:46

of terror was based on an

26:48

actual thing. You had broadcasters, basically.

26:50

you know in Germany telling the

26:53

Brits you know surrender now you're

26:55

the more you prolong this the

26:57

more you'll suffer the you know

27:00

more will cut off your food

27:02

blah blah blah blah blah and

27:05

all this type of thing and

27:07

so I think that was an

27:09

actual real thing that happened in

27:12

World War two it was good

27:14

and you know those being a

27:16

B movie it was short it

27:19

was like a hundred and a

27:21

hundred and or like an hour

27:24

of seven something like that so

27:26

yeah I'm gonna they're free on

27:28

YouTube and in pretty good prints.

27:31

So I'll probably end up watching

27:33

those because how many are there?

27:35

There's 14 total I've already seen

27:38

I've already seen Hounded the Baskerville's

27:40

Adventures and I'm trying to do

27:43

them in order of production. So

27:45

this would be the third one.

27:47

It's like at 11 more to

27:50

go. How did the Baskerville's was

27:52

good. I like poked my head

27:54

in on that one. Oh, that

27:57

one was the hammer version. That

27:59

was the hammer version, which, yeah,

28:02

of course it's good. Yeah, and,

28:04

and Peter Cushing, yeah, he, I

28:06

wish he'd played Sherlock Holmes more.

28:09

He's real. Good. He was cool.

28:11

He was supposed to be white.

28:13

I don't know what's wrong with

28:16

that Oreo. Oh, is it an

28:18

Oreo? I'm eating a Christmas Oreo

28:21

and it's like red and green

28:23

inside, but it looks all smooshed

28:25

and weird. Just away Steve likes

28:28

it. I don't eat him like

28:30

Steve. It's smooshed. Look, I'm taking

28:33

it apart, you heathen. And finally,

28:35

I caught up with beetle juice,

28:37

beetle juice. Oh. What do you

28:40

think? Well, there's some trepidation in

28:42

those, the way he said that.

28:44

So it was written by the

28:47

guys that wrote the, wrote and

28:49

produced the Wednesday series with Jenna

28:52

Ortega. And like other people talked

28:54

about there's like five different stories

28:56

going on in this and they

28:59

all ultimately all do come together,

29:01

but it's like Jesus Christ now.

29:03

You know, the first Beel Juice

29:06

movie was basically just one story.

29:08

This has like, like I say,

29:11

five or six different plot threads.

29:13

One of which, the one about

29:15

Gen Ortega, if you've seen Wednesday,

29:18

you kind of know how that

29:20

one's going to play out. So

29:22

I'm not going to say anything

29:25

more than in case you do

29:27

actually want to watch Beel Juice

29:30

Beel Juice, but I was like,

29:32

oh boy, this character. is up

29:34

to no good and wow yeah

29:37

he's not wow that's exact okay

29:39

they were talking about it on

29:41

ice cream social about you know

29:44

not dealing with Jeffrey Jones Except

29:46

they actually deal with Jeffrey Jones

29:49

a lot. Really? Yeah. Okay? Yeah.

29:51

The character. Yeah. The father character

29:53

from the first movie and you

29:56

know notorious Pito in real life.

29:58

They do an animated version of

30:00

them which is kind of a

30:03

claymationish animator. Yeah, and then they

30:05

have a picture of him, like

30:08

of the actor on his tombstone.

30:10

And they keep talking about him.

30:12

They keep referencing the dad's death

30:15

and its impact. Yeah, and it's

30:17

like, as the guys on Ice

30:20

Cream Social were talking about, if

30:22

you don't want to deal with

30:24

Jeffrey Jones and just say, yeah,

30:27

he was eaten by a shark

30:29

and never talk about him again.

30:31

Yeah. No good. No good. They

30:34

keep talking about him. So, Catherine

30:36

O'Hara took, took things hard. Yeah,

30:39

she took it hard. Yeah. I'll

30:41

tell you, I think they wasted

30:43

completely is Monica Belucci. Yeah. That,

30:46

that's one of the strings. It's

30:48

just like, this is here, if

30:50

you cut this out, except for

30:53

the, you know, Monica, the, the,

30:55

dais X, Monica, Monica ending. Yeah,

30:58

that was completely stupid side story.

31:00

Hi, let's get one of the

31:02

best actors ever, and one of

31:05

the most beautiful women ever, and

31:07

let's just do nothing with her.

31:09

Yeah. And let's pretend we're doing

31:12

something with her, but then do

31:14

nothing with her. Yeah. Oh boy.

31:17

Yeah. So there's that and like

31:19

I forget who I think was

31:21

Jeff that was talking about when

31:24

he saw it and I was

31:26

like did it seem like a

31:28

Like a sequel's kind of inevitable.

31:31

Let's just get it out of

31:33

the way and he was like

31:36

oh no not really having now

31:38

seen it. I think I was

31:40

Correct. It was just because everyone's

31:43

just kind of phoning it in

31:45

even when they're not phoning it

31:47

like Nobody's bad in it, but

31:50

it's not great either And then

31:52

like their answer to Deo in

31:55

this is MacArthur's Park. And it's...

31:57

Hold on! Back the fuck up

31:59

there! What? What? What? What? The

32:02

group, you know, people, beetle juice

32:04

forcing people to dance to a

32:06

number and they're all singing parts

32:09

of it. Well, we still don't

32:11

know who left that out in

32:14

the rain. Okay, okay, okay, okay.

32:16

So, yeah. And it goes on

32:18

for a while. Well, it's a

32:21

long song. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. As

32:23

opposed to, you know, Deo. Which

32:26

is short and punchy. Yeah. And

32:28

you get the joke and it's

32:30

over and we're done. And it's

32:33

just good. The Carter Park is

32:35

a plotting, over emotional mess. Yeah.

32:37

Yeah. Yeah. And once again, people

32:40

doing choreography that I can't, half

32:42

of it looks like it's improvised,

32:45

half of it doesn't, and Tim

32:47

Burton just didn't know how to

32:49

shoot this particular choreography or just

32:52

didn't care to. So it's just

32:54

like people are moving But due

32:56

to the camera camera angle choices,

32:59

it's like I can't really tell

33:01

what they're doing exactly I mean

33:04

I can and it doesn't look

33:06

very inspired Unlike the day on

33:08

number well the part in the

33:11

car the park though that breaks

33:13

down to the music breakdown. That's

33:15

kind of upbeat that's kind of

33:18

work. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And there's

33:20

a you know There's a corpse

33:23

band up in the loft of

33:25

the church doing doing that and

33:27

yeah but then they shoot the

33:30

quote unquote dance number and it's

33:32

like what are people actually doing

33:34

i can't really tell someone else

33:37

that doesn't know how to shoot

33:39

choreography okay cool except he does

33:42

what have dancing if you don't

33:44

want to shoot it yeah yeah

33:46

it's and again we know from

33:49

the first movie he actually does

33:51

know how to shoot choreography anyway

33:53

so But there are some funny

33:56

bits. There are, you know, there

33:58

are some fun character bits and...

34:01

As always is great Catherine hair

34:03

is great How was Winona? Winona's

34:06

fine. She actually has

34:08

one Kind of funny bit

34:11

that I was like okay

34:13

Winona Nice you're going there.

34:15

She's just this because she

34:18

can see ghosts. That's what

34:20

her whole life has been

34:22

is seeing ghosts and and

34:24

but she's been in therapy

34:26

and uh... you know on

34:29

medication and so she's learned

34:31

some breathing exercises but the

34:33

breathing exercises kind of sound

34:36

like uh... and it's when

34:38

i'm a writer actually doing

34:40

i was like okay that's

34:42

that's fun and over the

34:45

top you go did it

34:47

seem like they did it

34:49

seem to you at all like

34:51

they were intent on making a

34:53

third Beatle Juice film because it

34:55

didn't seem like that to me.

34:57

No, it really did seem like

34:59

everyone's been asking for a sequel

35:01

while everyone's still alive and

35:04

can basically still kind of

35:06

play these characters. Let's just

35:08

go ahead and get it

35:11

out of the way. Jenna

35:13

Ortega would be great as

35:15

Winona Ryder's daughter. That's great

35:18

casting. It felt to me

35:20

like an episode of the

35:22

Beatle Juice Saturday morning cartoon.

35:25

Oh. Or like a bunch

35:27

of those strung together in

35:29

one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

35:32

And that's what this feels

35:34

like. It feels like. It

35:36

feels like. And so I was already

35:38

talking to Kaye about man they just

35:40

for people that don't want to deal

35:42

with Jeffrey Jones they sure are dealing

35:44

with Jeffrey Jones a lot and I

35:46

said it's it's just a it's just

35:48

a one-line thing you know he died

35:50

getting eaten by a shark okay done

35:53

because that they did a one-line you

35:55

know getting rid of Gina Davis and

35:57

Alec Baldwin it's like oh they found

35:59

a loophole. I've moved on. Somehow

36:01

Palpatine returned. Yeah, somehow

36:03

Palpatine. It's like, why did you

36:06

do that with the Jefferson? Yeah.

36:08

So and I mean, having his

36:10

face there, I was like, I'm

36:13

sure they paid for likeness rights.

36:15

Yeah. I was like, mmm, okay.

36:17

There's almost felt like

36:19

there was some sympathy there

36:21

for him. So yeah, like

36:24

almost like, well, we can't

36:26

actually hire him, but we're

36:28

not gonna. How dare they

36:30

tell us that we can't

36:33

just acknowledge that that character

36:35

exists? Yeah, it kind

36:37

of felt like that a

36:39

little bit. What did he

36:42

do? Pido. He hired a

36:44

next-door neighbor, who was 15

36:46

years old boy, to pose

36:48

nude for him. Oh, that's

36:50

creepy. So which movie is

36:53

better? Dark Shadows or Beel

36:55

Juice Beel Juice? Wow.

36:57

Interesting, I would say

37:00

Ava Green saves dark shadows.

37:02

So I would go

37:04

dark shadows. Okay. Whereas

37:06

Monica Belucci could have

37:09

saved. If they'd given

37:11

her any kind of

37:13

character at all. Yeah, and

37:15

again, oh, never mind. That

37:18

dark shadows movie, that

37:20

just irritated the

37:22

shit out of me. Even if

37:25

you want to do a comedy

37:27

version of Dark Shadows,

37:29

it wouldn't have been that.

37:32

Having intermittently

37:34

done a rewatch of

37:36

the original series, the

37:38

character of Roger Collins,

37:41

the sort of stodgy,

37:43

you know, middle class,

37:45

you know, businessman, that's

37:47

a fun character to have in

37:49

a story where weird shit happening

37:52

all around and he can just

37:54

be the one that goes wait

37:56

what are you saying what's going

37:58

on oh that's and you know

38:01

he can be the one that

38:03

says this is just this doesn't

38:05

happen in real life no no

38:07

no this can't possibly be happening

38:10

and you know meanwhile it's all

38:12

happening but instead they just

38:14

made him a you know drunken

38:16

lay about and I was like

38:18

that's not that character anything

38:20

else Steve okay we'll bring

38:23

up the mutually stuff all

38:25

right I still playing Dragon Age

38:27

Vanguard or Vale Garden,

38:29

or Vale, whatever's, still really enjoying

38:32

it. Although I think I

38:34

can give a review thus

38:36

far, and I'm almost done with

38:38

it, I'm to the point where it's

38:40

kind of like with mass effect two,

38:43

where you are kind of building up

38:45

these groups, this power around

38:47

you for the final, right?

38:49

Balder's gates like that too. Here's

38:52

how I think about this, how

38:54

we can say this game. I

38:57

think Deb would really enjoy this

38:59

game. Barry, I don't think you'd

39:01

like it at all. Kay, you

39:03

would absolutely hate it. Steve would

39:05

know how to play it. And

39:07

it's... How do I move? That's

39:09

right. Mostly because it focuses on

39:11

characters, stories, and character relations.

39:14

The thing, Barry, that you

39:16

probably liked the least about

39:19

the... The Marvel Midnight Sons game are

39:21

the things I think you would

39:23

like the least about this one.

39:25

All right. All right. I don't mind it.

39:27

In fact, I think that it really

39:29

enhances it. I think the characters are

39:31

really what shine in this game. Is

39:33

there a book club to go to?

39:36

Like there is in Midnight Sons? There

39:38

is not. So at least there is

39:40

not. Wow. There's literally a book club

39:42

you go to with superheroes in that.

39:44

Good Lord. I did like it. It

39:47

was amusing. Yeah, sure. But the

39:49

the action Thank you for

39:51

pulling that away from that

39:53

It's an audio show. Maybe

39:56

don't open a fucking Oreo

39:58

near the microphone I

40:00

don't know if that's a thing

40:03

but drink. Okay, how come I'll

40:05

come I do this and nobody

40:07

can hear me but it but

40:10

I had I had the microphone

40:12

a good foot away from the

40:14

cream because Steve it's People

40:16

can hear your voice, but

40:19

we're not hearing your words

40:21

and you're speaking. Crinkle, crinkle,

40:23

crinkle does not need to

40:25

be articulate and well elucidated

40:27

to be annoying as heck.

40:30

It's your Oreo and your

40:32

terrible way that you do

40:34

it. Oh God. It's not,

40:36

no, squeezing the two sides

40:38

of the Oreo together. Yeah.

40:41

Oh, that's rubbing it. So

40:43

that it all, so it comes

40:45

out the sides. Now it's just a

40:47

moose-toreo middle. It's like an Oreo thin,

40:50

but all like the goop is on

40:52

the outside of the stuff. It doesn't

40:54

help that it's the two-tone color, right?

40:57

No, it does help. That was awesome.

40:59

The green on the red doesn't suggest

41:01

anything awful at all. Are you even

41:04

supposed to eat that now? Yeah. It's like

41:06

Plato. It looks exactly like Plato and tastes

41:08

a little bit like it too, by the

41:10

way, because I just had one. If I

41:12

have a thing, I'm bionic, I got the

41:15

monitor. Okay, whatever. Give him a little cheap

41:17

day here. Okay. The combat is very, very

41:19

satisfying. Okay. And so that

41:21

really, when a battle begins, I'm

41:23

always looking forward to the next

41:25

battle. Is it turn-based or? No.

41:28

It is actually, it is full

41:30

on action. Okay. Yeah. It's, it's

41:32

blocking blocking and attacking and attacking

41:34

and attacking and... And there's various...

41:36

You sure Deb would like that?

41:38

Yes. Not too much of a

41:40

Twitch gamer. It's not a twitch

41:43

now. It's easy to wrap your

41:45

head around. Okay. And it's

41:47

fun and you feel the power

41:49

of the blows, if you will.

41:51

Okay. Why are you laughing

41:53

us, Steve? Power blows. Juvenile

41:56

day here at Geek. But I

41:58

really am enjoying... the story about

42:00

the big bad or two elven

42:03

gods that have decided to basically

42:05

make their power known and recreate

42:07

the world in their own image.

42:09

Hold on, I'm still having trouble

42:12

picturing the combat, is it more

42:14

like Skyrim? It's more like, I'd

42:16

say, more like Batman Arkham Asylum.

42:18

Didn't play that. Never got around

42:21

to that. Definitely not Skyrim, though.

42:23

Okay, all right. Got it. It

42:25

does have the semblance. So you

42:27

can't pause and eat a whole

42:30

wheel of cheese or ten? You

42:32

can, you can pause at any

42:34

time. And eat ten wheels of

42:36

cheese. If you, oh not in

42:39

the game, I thought you meant

42:41

real life. Oh yeah. You can

42:43

pause and do that. Like Steve

42:45

was playing. Yeah, yeah. I can't

42:48

eat one, I can't eat any

42:50

cheese. I have to cut back.

42:52

Oh, wait, no. I did have

42:54

a. Pizza yeah oh we forgot

42:57

about that no I was gonna

42:59

bring okay yeah well I had

43:01

half a pizza with with Kay

43:03

and I liked it and I

43:06

had no problems. Yes he liked

43:08

it he liked it ladies just

43:10

you know I like cheese so

43:13

I'm close to finishing the game

43:15

I'm probably 50-60 hours in hammering

43:17

at it at a half hour

43:19

here 45 minutes there and when

43:22

I was really sick eight hours

43:24

a day wow But it's a

43:26

it's been a fun time. I

43:28

do highly recommend the game. Just

43:31

be aware It's a lot of

43:33

that game is relationship as far

43:35

as not like not like a

43:37

remote romantic. There's although you can

43:40

do that too But it's more

43:42

about creating a cohesive group that

43:44

can get along to be able

43:46

to fight without fighting amongst themselves

43:49

Okay, see Baldersgate had more of

43:51

that more than mass-affected But it

43:53

didn't overpower the gameplay for me.

43:55

It's like you had to do

43:58

some missions for people. like you

44:00

did in mass effect but it's

44:02

not deep relationship stuff it's a

44:04

little bit here and there occasionally

44:07

find a love interest or whatever

44:09

you know some simple choices not

44:11

like hours and hours of it

44:13

like you're describing and there is

44:16

a lot of side quest for

44:18

these particular characters but those side

44:20

quests have been some of the

44:22

most interesting ones oh yeah like

44:25

helping the necromancer become a litch

44:27

that's fun yeah Plus that's where

44:29

you get all your that's where

44:31

you get all your level up

44:34

and that's where you get all

44:36

your special magic yours You go

44:38

straight from one you just do

44:40

just the main quest you're gonna

44:43

miss so much stuff. Yeah, especially

44:45

in this game and you can

44:47

do that However, I can guarantee

44:49

you right now You're gonna get

44:52

one of the worst endings in

44:54

the game if you do it

44:56

that way. There are multiple endings

44:58

to this game obviously, you know,

45:01

that's obviously the way to do

45:03

it the worst. Season gamers know

45:05

better. Do the side quests. Do

45:07

all that. And this is a

45:10

full of them, and so you're

45:12

going to get your money's worth

45:14

with this game. There's a lot

45:16

of game here. See, if I

45:19

did play this game, I wouldn't

45:21

enjoy that, but I probably would

45:23

do many side quests, because that's

45:25

just me, in real life. I've

45:28

just been dodging that main quest

45:30

for decades. So, yeah. So I

45:32

did that. And read to happen

45:34

Leonard books. kind of got back

45:37

on that train, ran into them

45:39

by accident in another book. I've

45:41

talked about the Joe Ledger series

45:43

by Jonathan Mayberry. The Happened Leonard

45:46

series is by Joe R. Lansdale.

45:48

But Happened Letter made an appearance

45:50

in one of the Joe Ledger

45:52

books. The side just appeared in

45:55

the book. I'm like, oh, that

45:57

felt like that was made just

45:59

for me. Thank you very much.

46:01

And so I said, well, I

46:04

haven't read some of the Happened

46:06

Leonard books still, so I went

46:08

back and read too. I read

46:10

Honky Tonk, Samurai, and Rusty Puppy,

46:13

both very enjoyable. And I think

46:15

I know why I needed Happened

46:17

Leonard in that moment. If you're

46:19

not familiar, Happened Leonard are two

46:22

southern Texas guys that are basically

46:24

private investigators. that tend to just

46:26

get in over their heads and

46:28

end up having to fight or

46:31

shoot it out. HAP is a

46:33

left-wing, went to jail for not

46:35

going to Vietnam, guy just trying

46:37

to make his way in the

46:40

world. Leonard is a black gay

46:42

Republican. who is super into country

46:44

and super into cock and it's

46:46

but the character play between the

46:49

two of them the kind of

46:51

whole best friends forever kind of

46:53

thing just really works it's so

46:55

much fun but also has this

46:58

really coarse sense of justice to

47:00

it that is just really really

47:02

satisfying and I think that's really

47:04

what I needed right now with

47:07

everything going I waved my hands

47:09

around at the world. So, very

47:11

satisfying reads. If you haven't read

47:13

Happened Letter, if you're into a

47:16

buddy cop mystery, that's kind of

47:18

what it is without actually being

47:20

cops. Oh, nice. And check out

47:22

the TV show, because the TV

47:25

show did a great job of

47:27

translating the first four novels. It's

47:29

one novel a season. Four seasons.

47:31

So, it's worthwhile. And the opening

47:34

credits of that show tell you

47:36

everything you need to know, because

47:38

it's basically just pulp novel stuff.

47:40

Yeah, so great stuff happened lettered

47:43

and I've also started reading a

47:45

book called the burning which is

47:47

a Nonfiction book which is about

47:49

the the Greenwood Massacre Tulsa 1921

47:52

the burning of black Wall Street

47:54

That again I first learned about

47:56

by watching the Watchman TV show

47:58

Yeah, yeah, and then I found

48:01

out that was a real thing

48:03

and then got mad at my

48:05

entire education. Thanks school And so

48:08

I want to rectify that and

48:10

actually learn about the whole event

48:12

so I've started reading the burning.

48:14

Yeah, keep it light. And of

48:17

course it really goes to the...

48:19

horribleness about the lynchings of the

48:21

time and goes deep into individual

48:23

stories of the people that are

48:26

leading up to that moment and

48:28

at that point I was reading

48:30

that I was like you know

48:32

what? You know what this story

48:35

needs? Happened letter. It's happened letter

48:37

to come here and just fix

48:39

and beat people up and shoot

48:41

them in the right way to

48:44

keep this bullshit from happening. So

48:46

that's what I've been doing. Okay

48:48

what you do? I took Steve

48:50

to see Nosferatu because he missed

48:53

it when he was in convalescence.

48:55

Yeah, guys? Yeah, I haven't seen

48:57

it. Yeah, you haven't. You need

48:59

to see it. Yeah, you really

49:02

do. Yeah, you really do. Yeah,

49:04

you need to see it. Yeah,

49:06

you need to see it. I

49:08

was watching it the second time

49:11

and I was like Bob Cratchit

49:13

and Mina Harkness go after Dracula.

49:15

Harker. Harker. Harker. Yeah, I like

49:17

Harkness. But I was just, I

49:20

really enjoyed watching it a second

49:22

time. I also enjoy the watching

49:24

it. Yeah. Apparently my, uh, my

49:26

Orlock sounds like Cookie Monster. And

49:29

there's talk, you know, they got

49:31

to go to the castle, they

49:34

got to investigate this, and Edgar's

49:36

sense of overwhelming dread, you know,

49:38

pervasive, and I was just like,

49:41

I was remembering that the pulp

49:43

roots of sword and sorcery, which

49:45

was historical adventure fiction, married to

49:47

the cosmic horror, and a bit

49:50

of the Gothic as well. And

49:52

I also remembered that early, early

49:54

on, Bygax really wanted D&D to

49:57

actually be kind of sword and

49:59

sorcerish. It kind of got pulled

50:01

out of his hands, especially when

50:03

Dragon Lance just kind of made

50:06

it high fantasy and big sweeping

50:08

epics and stuff. But he liked

50:10

the the sword and sorcery aspect

50:12

of it. And I was watching

50:15

Nausvarado and I'm like, you know,

50:17

I'd be really cool. Robert Eggers

50:19

made it. D&D movie. That was

50:22

like true to its origins. You

50:24

know, he didn't try to be

50:26

goofy, he didn't try to be

50:28

save the universe, chosen one and

50:31

all that, but he did that

50:33

a bunch of adventurers that are

50:35

just trying to score big because

50:38

they have no other way to

50:40

do so. Oh, you should take

50:42

the kids from the cartoon, you

50:44

know, and go into the dungeon

50:47

and just make it. Just have

50:49

that overwhelming sense of constant dread,

50:51

which is you know what a

50:54

lot of people argued with the

50:56

original D&D was sort of about

50:58

I would see presto die Well,

51:00

there's always that. Why can't we

51:03

just have a dungeon crawl of

51:05

a movie? Yeah, exactly, exactly. I

51:07

mean, because, I mean, you just

51:10

got finished talking about relationships, right?

51:12

And so, you know, maybe it

51:14

was all about the friends you

51:16

made along the way, right? Well,

51:19

the traps are triggered along the

51:21

way. There you go. Or how

51:23

Uni gets captured and... eaten by

51:26

troglodytes. Well, well, well, well, actually

51:28

the troglodytes announced that there's gonna

51:30

be a feast with uni and

51:32

then the party is like, oh,

51:35

no, we're gonna save uni. And

51:37

then they go away from the

51:39

dragon's layer. I hate you and

51:42

everything you stand for. So, but

51:44

I was looking at that. Now

51:46

it's just like, this is really

51:48

good. That and also, there were

51:51

a couple scenes where I'm like,

51:53

Nicholas Holt would just, he's a

51:55

perfect Bob cratchet. was a monster-defying

51:57

hero. This is it. Right here.

52:00

Scrooge is a vampire. Yeah, yeah.

52:02

Yeah, really. Nicholas Holt is presto.

52:04

Wow. Well, somebody stuck in a

52:07

rut. So, um, so, you know,

52:09

one of my criticisms of Dracula

52:11

movies is they keep making the

52:13

story about Dracula. And the story

52:16

is not about Dracula. Stories

52:18

about all the vampire hunters.

52:20

It's about Jonathan Harker and

52:22

Mina. See, that's where Voyage

52:25

of the Demeter got it right.

52:27

Well, kind of, yeah.

52:30

Except, except they, yeah,

52:32

except they botched it. You

52:34

know, I can't tell if Todd

52:37

is serious anymore since Steve's been

52:39

in the hospital. I mean, that's

52:41

the thing I was like, I

52:43

was like, yeah, this is, you

52:46

get somebody like Nicholas Holt, who's

52:48

an interesting, really good actor, that's

52:50

who your Jonathan Harker should be.

52:52

And Lily Rose Depp, she was,

52:55

she's outstanding. She was phenomenal. This

52:57

is a, this, this, uh, should

52:59

be a breakout performance. Yeah, it

53:01

should be a defining performance. She

53:04

was crazy. Yeah, she stops doing

53:06

shit like yoga. 10 years ago?

53:08

Yeah, yeah. If she stops that

53:11

10-year-old shit, then yeah, it's a

53:13

fun. All right. So, but yeah,

53:15

but I was, I was like,

53:18

okay, finally somebody gets that relationship

53:20

kind of more or less, more

53:22

or less right. Because that's what

53:25

the story is. Dracula,

53:27

is not sympathetic. You

53:29

should know nothing about Dracula

53:32

except that he exists, and

53:34

he's a predator. That's

53:36

it. And all these stories that

53:39

try to give him a

53:41

backstory, try to make Mina

53:43

a reincarnation of his lost

53:45

love. It's like, oh, this

53:48

is all just horsesh yet.

53:50

The central relationship is Mina

53:52

and Jonathan. That relationship

53:55

is under, is under siege. Yeah.

53:57

That's what the story is. And,

53:59

ugh. So. Yeah, I mean, the

54:01

sympathetic Dracula, great, you can

54:03

do it once. Jack Palants and

54:06

Dan Curtis did it, so

54:08

it's been done. Well, what

54:10

about Gary Oldman? Well, fuck

54:12

that! You got Gary Oldman,

54:14

Gary Oldman would be a

54:16

really good, just fucking predator

54:18

guy. No, he's gonna be sympathetic. Meade's

54:20

gonna be his long loss. No!

54:23

He's a guy who's a narcissist.

54:25

All he gives a shit about

54:27

is drinking young blood because it

54:29

keeps him young and fucking the

54:32

nearest hot girl. Which actually isn't

54:34

even in like the original

54:36

Dracula. There wasn't no fucking, it

54:38

was just sucking. It was all

54:41

metaphor because what I'm saying. This

54:43

is the version of Dracula directed

54:45

by Stephen Biggs. Yeah. Which I

54:47

would watch. Yeah, the... Oh,

54:50

you have lasers. The relationship

54:52

of Jonathan. I like also

54:54

how we're using the stoker

54:56

names, even though this is

54:59

Nosferatu. So this is Murnau's

55:01

thing. Well, it's funny because

55:03

I looked up the 79

55:05

version and they had gone

55:08

back to the stoker names.

55:10

Yeah. Dracula versus laser wolf.

55:12

Yeah. Oh, laser wolf! Oh,

55:14

hey! Tavia, your daughter! Pugh,

55:17

pugh! Yeah, it does a

55:19

nice job of actually

55:21

it being about them,

55:23

because a lot of Dracula

55:27

movies as I watch them

55:29

now and think about

55:31

it, sometimes they

55:33

start off with Jonathan

55:36

Harker. and copulous Dracula

55:39

is like an encapsulation

55:41

of this. And keep

55:43

in mind I love

55:45

copulous Dracula. Copulous Dracula.

55:47

But it starts off

55:49

with Jonathan and then

55:51

it ends up becoming

55:53

Mina's thing and in

55:56

actuality it's their story

55:58

together and it's like they. together

56:00

are what overcome yeah the threat

56:02

yeah and then so many because

56:04

she never the person that gets

56:07

enthralled by Dracula is Lucy mina

56:09

never does mina is in love

56:11

with Jonathan Harker and is never

56:14

going to straight she is raped

56:16

she is forced to drink his

56:18

blood she doesn't do it willingly

56:21

But a crumble aside from all

56:23

that it's really no it did

56:25

the atmosphere is amazing The cinematography

56:28

is amazing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He

56:30

he does some fun trick shooting

56:32

that kind of reminds you I

56:34

mean one of the cool things

56:37

about this is he actually makes

56:39

pulls from every Dracula movie out

56:41

there. So you can tell he's

56:44

he's showing affection for the 22

56:46

Nasforatu. The 79 Nasforatu. I didn't

56:48

see any monster squad in there.

56:51

He's making pulls from Legozi's Dracula.

56:53

Spen Helsing and Dr. Watson's name

56:55

and didn't have any nards. I

56:57

don't know. So he's making pulls

57:00

from all of the... and as

57:02

well as Copula's Dracula. So it

57:04

actually... Yeah, the use of shadows

57:07

and stuff. Is he a version?

57:09

So, yeah, it was really funny

57:11

because when they first announced it

57:14

and everything I was like, oh

57:16

man, they needed to make Willem

57:18

de Fo, the Nasforato, because that

57:20

would just be a great pickup

57:23

on Shadow of the Vampire, which

57:25

he was extraordinary in. But, what

57:27

they did here, and the interpretation

57:30

of this orlock is so different.

57:32

This Orlock is like power. There's

57:34

a lot of physical power in

57:37

this Orlock. Just a huge amount

57:39

of power. And that's different from,

57:41

you know, the original version. So,

57:43

yeah. But yeah. And I do

57:46

like. I mean, they acknowledge it

57:48

in the credits based on Nasratu

57:50

by blah blah and Bram Stoker's

57:53

Dracula. Yeah, yeah, they just. So,

57:55

so, because I was like, oh,

57:57

they gave him, they actually gave

58:00

him a mustache as in the

58:02

original Brom Stoker's Dracula. He's got

58:04

this big fucking mustache. Yeah. So,

58:06

I love. Well, I don't know

58:09

if I want to give that

58:11

a one. Yeah, it doesn't matter.

58:13

I love the fact that they

58:16

kind of keep him corpse-like through

58:18

the entire thing. Yeah. You know,

58:20

he never he never gets better

58:23

by drinking the young blood of

58:25

Germany. Yeah. The voice alone is

58:27

great. Oh, yeah. And they're moving

58:29

and scary. And you see that

58:32

there actually was a voice coach

58:34

for. And not a trace of

58:36

cookie monster. While Steve and I

58:39

were watching, like, movie Bob's review

58:41

on Nosferon, and so we stumbled

58:43

across this interesting news note that...

58:46

Oh yeah! I don't know if

58:48

we talked about this ever, but

58:50

in 2015, F.W. Murnau's skull was

58:52

stolen from his grave. For those

58:55

who don't know who that is.

58:57

He is the original director of

58:59

the original 1922 Nosferatu. No, I

59:02

never even heard this. Yes, and

59:04

it was really weird because I

59:06

mean he he had left the

59:09

the Weimar Republic had come to

59:11

the States and was making movies

59:13

there and he died He died

59:15

much too young in a car

59:18

crash. Yeah, they shipped his body

59:20

back home. It's really funny too

59:22

because the article actually was like,

59:25

you know, Dracula like they shipped

59:27

his body back home by ship

59:29

and he was buried in Germany

59:32

and there's a cemetery and he

59:34

was there with his brothers it's

59:36

a family plot and stuff like

59:38

like a mausoleum i believe at

59:41

some point the caretaker discovered that

59:43

it had been broken into and

59:45

then discovered that his uh... casket

59:48

was open and it was a

59:50

couple days after they got like

59:52

the hold of the police and

59:55

everything and basically they realized his

59:57

skull was gone and then they

59:59

found like traces of candle wax

1:00:01

around yes yes That explains 2016

1:00:04

onward. Yeah. Yeah, really? Holy shit.

1:00:06

Yeah. I think it just went

1:00:08

downhill ever since now. Yeah. But

1:00:11

it was really funny. It wasn't

1:00:13

the death of Bowie. It was

1:00:15

the skull. Yeah, or maybe it's

1:00:18

a combination. Nothing? This doesn't have

1:00:20

to be isolated. Have we checked

1:00:22

Bowie's skull? Yeah. Does anyone? Or

1:00:25

Prince. Oh, now that's a... I

1:00:27

want that movie, no. Bowie's skull.

1:00:29

All this time, no one's been

1:00:31

paying attention to where Bowie's skull

1:00:34

is. Yeah, really. So anyway, that

1:00:36

was like really freaky. They still

1:00:38

to this day have not found.

1:00:41

And the video that Steve and

1:00:43

I watched was also... I'm just

1:00:45

seeing some Scandinavian nerd on the

1:00:48

mantelpiece. His friend comes over. See

1:00:50

that skull? Yeah. You know who's

1:00:52

who's that skull is? Yeah. No,

1:00:54

there's something. Dude, there's something because

1:00:57

the candle wax made them all

1:00:59

go, wait, what the fuck is

1:01:01

going on here? And he probably

1:01:04

keeps it next to his Pokemon

1:01:06

card. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.

1:01:08

The embossed ones. Seeing some, using

1:01:11

some of that symbology from the

1:01:13

Eggers' Nosferratu and their weird rituals

1:01:15

or something anyway. But the video

1:01:17

that we watched was even weirder

1:01:20

than the story. this person first

1:01:22

of all this person the text

1:01:24

of their video they took it

1:01:27

from an article uh... word for

1:01:29

word it's like it's like i

1:01:31

want to read up on this

1:01:34

uh... and see and so i

1:01:36

click on this uh... article and

1:01:38

it's like a i think the

1:01:40

the website called far out or

1:01:43

something like that okay and and

1:01:45

i just read the first sentence

1:01:47

which i can't remember now of

1:01:50

course but i read the first

1:01:52

sentence and i'm like sentence in

1:01:54

the video and like the text

1:01:57

of the video was this article

1:01:59

yeah and all the imagery it

1:02:01

was really kind of inventive this

1:02:03

is like a student film because

1:02:06

they took like Nosferatu and Dracula

1:02:08

and this and that imagery And

1:02:10

they did weird exposures and visual

1:02:13

effects tinkering with the images as

1:02:15

they overlaid things. I would make

1:02:17

it look like old VHS sometimes.

1:02:20

Yeah, they'd make it look like

1:02:22

old VHS and then they would

1:02:24

do these saturated exposures where you

1:02:26

know, like film has just been,

1:02:29

I don't know, hit too much

1:02:31

sunlight or something. Yeah, somebody's discovery

1:02:33

after. Oh, somebody went crazy. Somebody

1:02:36

went wacky and it got kind

1:02:38

of interesting, but at the same

1:02:40

time. I was annoyed because this

1:02:43

was one of the classic, I've

1:02:45

got a five minute story, so

1:02:47

I'm going to give you 15

1:02:49

minutes of setup. Yeah. And then

1:02:52

the five minute story was the

1:02:54

headline. So it was sort of

1:02:56

like, okay, well, geez, I could

1:02:59

have just had five minutes of,

1:03:01

hey, you know, Murnow, skull was

1:03:03

stolen in 2015. Oh, candle wax,

1:03:06

wow. So anyway, congratulations, you watched

1:03:08

click bait. Yeah, so, but it

1:03:10

was, but it was informative because

1:03:12

I'd never heard that his skull

1:03:15

was stolen. Yeah, I'm learning that.

1:03:17

Which also, I mean, less than

1:03:19

10 years ago, so this is

1:03:22

a recent thing, and it's just

1:03:24

freaky. It's very freaky. And speaking

1:03:26

of freaky, Steve watched Dirty Harry.

1:03:29

Oh, wow. For the first time.

1:03:31

He saw Andy Robinson, Garrick in

1:03:33

action. So Steve, what'd you think

1:03:35

of Dirty Harry? Uh, good story.

1:03:38

I was not impressed. Not impressed.

1:03:40

I can't have the same reaction

1:03:42

when I saw it. Yeah, because

1:03:45

I saw it like four years

1:03:47

ago, I think. Yeah, yeah. And

1:03:49

I think it's very much film

1:03:52

of its time. Yes. They, I

1:03:54

think one of the articles that

1:03:56

we. saw about it they thought

1:03:58

it would be received as a

1:04:01

as a as a critique of

1:04:03

sort of you know hard-ass vigilante

1:04:05

justice and instead everyone just fell

1:04:08

in love with Dirty Harry. Yeah.

1:04:10

And it's like, oh boy, talk

1:04:12

about not getting, talk about missing

1:04:15

the message. Yikes. Andy Robinson is

1:04:17

way over the top and Clint

1:04:19

Eastwood is way under the top.

1:04:22

It was a nice balance actually.

1:04:24

I thought that was kind of

1:04:26

cool. Yeah, but I mean, my

1:04:28

mom just never liked Clint Eastwood

1:04:31

as an actor and Again, given

1:04:33

the movies of his that she

1:04:35

had seen, including Dirty Harry, I

1:04:38

can kind of see why. It's

1:04:40

like... He has a great screen...

1:04:42

It's kind of like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

1:04:45

He has a great screen presence

1:04:47

in his early films when he

1:04:49

doesn't talk. Yeah, when you sit

1:04:51

there and squint. One of my

1:04:54

favorite bits is when the mayor

1:04:56

is like, all right out with

1:04:58

it, tell us a story. And

1:05:01

he tries to tell the story

1:05:03

and the chief keeps interrupting him.

1:05:05

And so he's like, well, what

1:05:08

we're, what we're doing, and the

1:05:10

way he just like side-eyes the

1:05:12

chief. And then he's like, okay,

1:05:14

so what else? And then, well,

1:05:17

I'm going on the side-eyes the

1:05:19

cheek, the way he keeps getting

1:05:21

interrupted. Actually, I really actually enjoyed

1:05:24

that kind of stuff. Yeah. Because

1:05:26

there was a lot of like

1:05:28

acting through reacting there, which was

1:05:31

actually kind of fun. Yeah. So.

1:05:33

Obviously he gets better as he

1:05:35

gets older, but because Hansa Gavin

1:05:37

is... Yeah. He's really... Tour de

1:05:40

Force. He's still squinty. Yeah. Yeah.

1:05:42

This squint was its own character.

1:05:44

Yeah, Grand Torino. Well, I mean,

1:05:47

you look at the Sergio Leone

1:05:49

movie. Oh, yeah, yeah. You know,

1:05:51

he's making it for an international

1:05:54

audience, so dialogue is at a

1:05:56

minimum. Most of it's given to

1:05:58

Eli Wallace. like. And he just

1:06:00

lets Klenist would be this tall

1:06:03

lanky character that squints and you

1:06:05

know and smokes a cherut. In

1:06:07

a couple of those movies he

1:06:10

sits there and has a squint

1:06:12

off with Lee Van Cleve. Wow,

1:06:14

two major squinters. Yeah, yeah, there's

1:06:17

some squintin going on. So, um,

1:06:19

yeah. All we need is Tilda

1:06:21

squintin. So I'm still

1:06:23

trying to get him to watch

1:06:25

the sequel, Magnum 4th. And I

1:06:28

probably will, because that's the movie

1:06:30

that made David Soul a bad

1:06:32

ass, which is kind of like,

1:06:34

you know. I've never seen, I've

1:06:36

only seen Dirty Harry, I've seen

1:06:38

anything else. Well, I don't, I'm

1:06:40

not gonna sit here and claim

1:06:43

that things get, you know, really

1:06:45

better. There's also the problematic aspect

1:06:47

that later on Sandra Locke enters

1:06:49

the relationship and... Talk about the

1:06:51

dead pool. Yeah, something like that.

1:06:53

So it's I think I think

1:06:55

the gauntlet. Yeah, the gauntlet But

1:06:57

it's like I think the first

1:07:00

two are worth watching Oh, and

1:07:02

then yeah, and I would say

1:07:04

just as a you know Moment

1:07:06

in film history. Yeah, you gotta

1:07:08

watch you gotta watch yeah, no

1:07:10

because this well dead pool alone

1:07:12

you got the debut of both

1:07:14

guns and roses and Jim Carrey

1:07:17

Yeah. That was just... Wow, that

1:07:19

happened. Okay. Yeah. So, and last,

1:07:21

last thing, one more thing. Steve

1:07:23

and Barry and Deb and Darren

1:07:25

and I rescued the discovery. We

1:07:27

did. The U.S. says discovery. Oh,

1:07:29

yes, Steve. Oh, Steve wasn't there.

1:07:31

Steve wasn't there. Rescued the discovery.

1:07:34

We did. I said Steve. That

1:07:36

was crazy. Oh, the meds kicked

1:07:38

my ass. What Kirsten is omitting

1:07:40

here is we went to the

1:07:42

escapology. Oh shit! The discovery one.

1:07:44

I started wanting to do it

1:07:46

and I just woke up and

1:07:48

there was you know the string

1:07:51

of texts about oh meet here

1:07:53

meet there and and I think

1:07:55

I responded with yay and then

1:07:57

was sitting on the edge of

1:07:59

my bed and fell asleep looking

1:08:01

at my phone and I was

1:08:03

like I don't know I knocked

1:08:06

on the door and I'm like

1:08:08

Steve and yeah I just sent

1:08:10

the text I'm not gonna go

1:08:12

but yeah it all came about

1:08:14

because Darren just kind of whirlwind

1:08:16

made it happen. Star Trek Escape

1:08:18

Room. Yeah. And I think they

1:08:20

actually got some permission from the

1:08:23

studio because there was... Oh yeah,

1:08:25

yeah, yeah, they're licensed. Yeah, it

1:08:27

was licensed. I think the production...

1:08:29

I've seen a lot of escape

1:08:31

from... I used to be a

1:08:33

digital marketing manager for Escape Room,

1:08:35

which is a big escape room

1:08:37

company. They got like... 20 locations

1:08:40

in the nation. Um, I wrote

1:08:42

some blog posts that never got

1:08:44

posted. Yeah, you did. Yeah, because

1:08:46

they fucking closed. Um, pandemic. Yeah,

1:08:48

what are you going to do?

1:08:50

But, uh, it had good production

1:08:52

value. That's the highest praise I

1:08:54

can give in escape room because

1:08:57

a lot of them do not

1:08:59

have good production value, especially when

1:09:01

they get a little older and,

1:09:03

you know, the buttons wear down

1:09:05

and everything like that. But no,

1:09:07

everything worked. There was good production

1:09:09

value. They did the best they

1:09:11

could with puzzles because it's you

1:09:14

know, it's puzzle. You're not actual

1:09:16

puzzles. Yeah, you're not actually fixing

1:09:18

a warp engine or whatever the

1:09:20

thing was because you know, not

1:09:22

normal people are going to do

1:09:24

that. Four pieces together to. Yeah,

1:09:26

the map did the puzzle. You

1:09:29

just were a first polarity on

1:09:31

the deflector array. Yeah. And how

1:09:33

they had us fix the impulse

1:09:35

engines to me in my mind,

1:09:37

my fucking Star Trek head mind,

1:09:39

because I know how to. Basically

1:09:41

build one from reading that manual

1:09:43

over and over again when we

1:09:46

work there at where did I

1:09:48

work? Star Trek the experience That's

1:09:50

as close as the bell we're

1:09:52

going to get. Oh That was

1:09:54

a weak bell. Come on. Come

1:09:56

on. Try it again. Here we

1:09:58

go. Let's let's stop try it

1:10:00

more. It's not trying. Now two

1:10:03

of them, like monkeys, are trying

1:10:05

to hit this bell to get

1:10:07

people to drink. So it was

1:10:09

it was a good experience and we

1:10:11

did it in was it was 50

1:10:14

minutes out of the hour? Yeah, we

1:10:16

finished with like 10 minutes slap. We,

1:10:18

uh, Darren was really funny because we'd

1:10:20

be like, well, what about, and we,

1:10:23

we, oh, and Darren's like, I'm gonna

1:10:25

get a clue. And he'd go and

1:10:27

he hit the clue button and we'd

1:10:29

get a bloop. And it would say

1:10:31

something. Have you tried this thing? Yeah.

1:10:34

And then it was really funny. At

1:10:36

the end, we got the code we

1:10:38

needed, but we were inputting into

1:10:40

the wrong keypad. Oh. Because it

1:10:42

seemed like there were other puzzles.

1:10:45

And we questioned them about that.

1:10:47

And they said, yeah, we removed

1:10:49

a puzzle. So it looks like there's

1:10:51

a puzzle, but there's not. So

1:10:53

it was, okay, whatever. And the

1:10:55

funniest part, I think, was when

1:10:57

one of the first puzzles in

1:10:59

the room where. Deb was trying

1:11:01

to figure out like the size

1:11:04

of the planets versus other thing.

1:11:06

You have to do, it's a

1:11:08

puzzle. And she's like, all right,

1:11:10

she's taking it slowly and methodically.

1:11:12

I'm like, you don't have time

1:11:14

for fucking slow. Yeah. You gotta do

1:11:16

this. And you got five minutes

1:11:18

on that clock to do this

1:11:21

thing before it, before it like,

1:11:23

just goes forward. We were going

1:11:25

for a collision. Yeah. We're heading

1:11:27

towards a collision. trying

1:11:29

to move her along. Oh no.

1:11:31

Yeah, no. And then, and didn't

1:11:33

Aaron loved one bit because we

1:11:35

had one thing up on a screen

1:11:38

in one room and then a board

1:11:40

that had to be manipulated in the

1:11:42

other. So Barry would be like, okay,

1:11:44

number one, and I would sit there

1:11:47

and call out, left, two. Right! Three!

1:11:49

And he has to like turn dials

1:11:51

in this. And he's doing that to

1:11:54

set things up and arrive at a

1:11:56

number, which then he then gives to

1:11:58

Deb and she inputs. And so

1:12:00

we're doing all that read back

1:12:03

and Darren was just like, oh

1:12:05

wow. And I'm like, it was

1:12:07

really funny because afterward I was

1:12:09

like, I kind of felt like

1:12:11

a lead dealing with, dealing

1:12:13

with an 11, an 11 one. What

1:12:16

does that mean for other people?

1:12:18

The ride down. That's Star

1:12:20

Trek. Yeah, it's Star Trek. So

1:12:22

yeah. But it was, it was

1:12:24

actually fun and cool. So, so. Escape

1:12:27

rooms are fun. The ones I've been

1:12:29

in before, obviously they weren't Star Trek

1:12:31

themed. I did like a dig, like

1:12:33

an Indiana Jones type of dig one,

1:12:36

and then I did one with, like

1:12:38

a James Bond one, where you have

1:12:40

to go in and find the code

1:12:43

and open the vault and get the

1:12:45

McGuffin or whatever. But the puzzles were

1:12:47

a little different, because they didn't have

1:12:49

the Star Trek, the limitations of

1:12:52

Star Trek. So there'd be like

1:12:54

a hidden thing on the wall

1:12:56

where there was mat painted. font

1:12:58

where the wall was glossy is really

1:13:00

hard to see. You have to look

1:13:02

and find it. And then special things

1:13:04

with decks of cards and weird stuff.

1:13:06

You can't get too... Ironically you can't

1:13:08

get too weird with the puzzles with

1:13:10

Star Trek because they got to fit

1:13:12

the theme and but I think they

1:13:14

did the best they they could with

1:13:16

that and it was fun it was

1:13:18

fun I would like to see one

1:13:20

for diet this wouldn't make any money

1:13:22

but I for diehard Trekkies who could

1:13:25

half fix a warp engine yeah sure

1:13:27

like oh okay well that makes sense

1:13:29

this manifold this my lithium mixed

1:13:31

like they actually have to maybe

1:13:33

even have like hands-on props that

1:13:35

you have to Yeah. And maybe

1:13:38

make it like old, the original

1:13:40

series where we have to pull

1:13:42

out a panel and fix it

1:13:44

and it's a bunch of cardboard

1:13:47

and string. We have to reorganize

1:13:49

the cardboard and string. Well, according

1:13:51

to Star Trek, too, I have

1:13:53

to do is put your hand

1:13:55

in a bunch of light to fix

1:13:58

a lot of engines. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah,

1:14:00

there was no one, there was

1:14:02

no chance for us to do

1:14:04

the scene for Star Trek too.

1:14:06

No. No. Ship out of danger?

1:14:09

Can we go get pizza now?

1:14:11

Oh, I'm, or swarma. Yeah, I

1:14:13

don't. Ship probably a danger. But

1:14:15

anyway, so yeah. That's fun. So

1:14:17

that was great. It's fun. How

1:14:20

much that's, uh. Escape from cost.

1:14:22

Don't know. Don't know. Darren gave to

1:14:24

Chris as a Christmas gift or something.

1:14:26

Christmas gift. Very nice. So yeah, so

1:14:28

we have no clue. Next time we

1:14:31

go when we take you guys. We'll

1:14:33

go to the My Little Pony one.

1:14:35

Totally fucking shocked. We're going to the

1:14:37

it one. We're bringing Deb. Oh yeah.

1:14:40

Yeah. Well just, hey, no. We've

1:14:42

now found the solution to Deb's

1:14:44

horror thing. Because when she went

1:14:46

to see Nosferato, people were like,

1:14:48

what? Not funny. She's like, it's

1:14:50

a vampire movie. So now. It's

1:14:53

not a horror movie. It's a

1:14:55

drama. It is a vampire. Oh,

1:14:57

it is. Problem solved. Yeah, just

1:14:59

like the Blair Witch is a vampire.

1:15:02

Yeah, there you go. Yep. Yep.

1:15:04

You're never taking her to see

1:15:06

that. But we'll do the escape.

1:15:08

She'll never sleep again. And

1:15:10

I will never sleep

1:15:12

again. Hellraiser. Yeah, sexual

1:15:15

vampire. Exorcist? Lifeforce. Oh yes.

1:15:17

Lifeforce. You know, for whatever

1:15:19

reason, that keeps popping up,

1:15:21

you know, on YouTube, like,

1:15:23

you know, certain videos about

1:15:26

underrated or, you know, movies

1:15:28

that have become cult classics

1:15:30

that were failures at the

1:15:32

time, and Lifeforce keeps popping

1:15:34

up on that. And I

1:15:36

remember seeing that in the theater

1:15:38

going, meh, but I'm kind of curious to

1:15:40

see it again. You should see life force.

1:15:42

Okay, I saw it once as a kid,

1:15:44

but I didn't see it all the way

1:15:46

through because I got, I was young. And

1:15:49

I got scared of like the, the, the,

1:15:51

the monster, vampire thing was creepy, fucking, horrible

1:15:53

looking. I didn't even get to the part

1:15:55

where I should have just stuck through it

1:15:57

because that girl goes naked half with most

1:15:59

of the film. That would be good

1:16:01

for young me. That's what we

1:16:03

need. Those were the days. Naked

1:16:05

vampires. Yeah. I mean, you

1:16:08

know, hey, we got that

1:16:10

in Asforatu. That's right. We

1:16:12

got naked vampire in Asforatu.

1:16:14

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Anything else

1:16:16

to do, gentlemen? What else

1:16:19

you want? Oh yeah. I want

1:16:21

some news you don't give a

1:16:23

shit about? Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.

1:16:25

Oh, I need to splish another.

1:16:28

Oh God, I don't know what

1:16:30

I hate worse. The news is

1:16:32

that. Oh. There's no give a

1:16:34

1:17:27

Norman, following to writers David Callum

1:17:29

and Aaron and Adam Kne, previously

1:17:32

1:17:34

Ten-year-old Prince Adam who crashed to Earth

1:17:36

in a spaceship and was separated from

1:17:39

his magical power sword, the only link

1:17:41

to his home in attorney. After tracking

1:17:43

it down almost two decades later, Prince

1:17:45

Adam has whisked back across space to

1:17:48

defend his home planet against the evil

1:17:50

forces of Skeletor. But to defeat such

1:17:52

a powerful villain, Prince Adable first need

1:17:54

to uncover the mysteries of his past

1:17:56

and become, he man, the most powerful

1:17:58

man in the universe. universe." Wow.

1:18:01

That sounds like a heavy

1:18:03

draw from the Lundgren movie,

1:18:06

actually. Yeah. Master of the

1:18:08

Universe is being produced by

1:18:11

Escape Artists and Mattel Films,

1:18:13

releasing exclusively in theaters worldwide

1:18:16

June 5th, 2026. Who's playing

1:18:18

Orco? There's a question. We

1:18:21

don't have a cast

1:18:23

of Orco. Jack Black.

1:18:26

I've never seen this.

1:18:28

Kevin Hart. No! Oh

1:18:31

God. Jared fucking Lido.

1:18:33

A Skeletor. I can

1:18:35

see it. I can see it.

1:18:38

I can see it too.

1:18:40

I can see it. Yeah.

1:18:42

Wow. This is news

1:18:44

I don't give a

1:18:46

shit about. It should

1:18:49

be. Who should it

1:18:51

be? Well, there you

1:18:53

go. It should be

1:18:56

somebody Franklin

1:18:59

Jilla-esque.

1:19:01

Maybe Cumberbatch. I know that Paul

1:19:04

thinks that he had his great

1:19:06

storied lore. It's a toy commercial.

1:19:08

It absolutely does not. For toys

1:19:10

it all had the same body.

1:19:13

As much lore's GI Joe and

1:19:15

I got a feel in the

1:19:17

movie is going to be just

1:19:20

as good at the GI Joe

1:19:22

movies. Girls complain about Barbie being

1:19:24

unrealistic. Bitch look at

1:19:26

he man! Yeah. Oh yeah, yoyo, yoy. I

1:19:28

just, wow, I have... Zero interest in

1:19:30

this at all. I have a curiosity.

1:19:33

Yeah. I have a curiosity about Allison

1:19:35

Bree as evil Lee. Yes. Sure. But

1:19:37

that's just, okay, I can look at

1:19:39

a few cast pictures on the

1:19:41

internet and not have to watch

1:19:43

this film. Exactly. I will definitely

1:19:46

not go to the theaters see

1:19:48

it, but when it eventually goes

1:19:50

to Max or Netflix or wherever

1:19:52

ends up, not TV, because I'm

1:19:54

not sitting through commercials to watch

1:19:56

it. I will eventually put it

1:19:58

on a go. Okay. All right,

1:20:00

what was this? I'll watch it

1:20:03

when it's on basic cable at

1:20:05

a bar. I have not even

1:20:07

seen the Dolph Lundgren. I just

1:20:09

have zero, zero interest. Really? Robert

1:20:12

Duncan, McNeil, and Courtney Cox, and

1:20:14

Frank Langella, and no. No, I

1:20:16

know. And Meg Foster. Yes. Well,

1:20:19

when I heard that Frank Langella

1:20:21

had a ball, absolutely loved it.

1:20:23

I was just like, OK, I

1:20:25

gotta watch it. And you can

1:20:28

see it on the screen. He

1:20:30

is having a great time. But

1:20:32

it is not a good movie.

1:20:35

No. No. No. It is. And

1:20:37

plus I resent it because they

1:20:39

took half the budget from Superman

1:20:42

4 and put it into that

1:20:44

piece of shit. And half that

1:20:46

budget shows. Yeah. If they had

1:20:48

more budget in Superman 4, would

1:20:51

it have been any better or

1:20:53

would they have stuck with the

1:20:55

same shitty script? They probably would

1:20:58

rebuild the wall of China vision.

1:21:00

Well, no. They would have had

1:21:02

the money to do the actual...

1:21:04

I mean good guy there's been

1:21:07

a fan fix of that where

1:21:09

it actually and it wasn't that

1:21:11

hard you just I mean you

1:21:14

just take a still of Chris

1:21:16

free flying back and forth. And

1:21:18

then you fix the Great Wall

1:21:21

of China Vision. That is not

1:21:23

the main reason why that movie.

1:21:25

No, I... Well, you brought it

1:21:27

up. You brought it up. There's

1:21:30

just one thing that stuck in

1:21:32

my head. That's your straw man.

1:21:34

Yeah. Really? Not Sun Man or

1:21:37

whatever his name was? Oh God,

1:21:39

yeah. Atomic Man, right? Yeah. Were

1:21:41

they... The hair. Yeah, yeah. Here's

1:21:43

his hair, look how strong it

1:21:46

is, is holding up this boulder,

1:21:48

so we're just going to cut

1:21:50

it with bolt cutters. The fuck.

1:21:53

Lenny Luther. And of all things,

1:21:55

at the end, when Superman kills

1:21:57

Zod again. Zod. Zod. I'm just

1:22:00

kidding. Fuck off Jake. habeas corpus

1:22:02

my friend. News don't give shit

1:22:04

about... Obiesoft quietly released a new

1:22:06

game two weeks ago called Captain

1:22:09

Laserhawk the game and game is

1:22:11

G period A period and period

1:22:13

E period. This new release was...

1:22:16

hardly advertised or given the kind

1:22:18

of showy spotlight reserve for major

1:22:20

releases. It might have something to

1:22:22

do with how this is a

1:22:25

Web 3 game that uses cryptocurrency

1:22:27

and blockchain. Okay, okay, there's so

1:22:29

much Yeah, there was so much

1:22:32

to unpack I officially have to

1:22:34

go take a Tylenol yeah laser

1:22:36

hawks and Cryptocurrency and web three

1:22:39

whatever the hell that really is

1:22:41

supposed to tell me I'm doing

1:22:43

this from an episode of hours

1:22:45

that well, so they're releasing in

1:22:48

game and not an album and

1:22:50

not an NFT Some of you

1:22:52

may remember the name Captain Laserhawk.

1:22:55

It's based on a Netflix animated

1:22:57

series called Captain Laserhawk, a Blood

1:22:59

Dragon remix. It was an... Also

1:23:01

looking to Tevia for a daughter.

1:23:04

This was an animated show based

1:23:06

off the Farcri Blood Dragon, which

1:23:08

was a DLC based from Farcai

1:23:11

3. Captain Laserhawk, The Game. Not

1:23:13

the show, is apparently a top-down

1:23:15

multiplayer shooter available on PC and

1:23:17

features characters from the show, as

1:23:20

well as Rayman, Obiesoff's beloved platform

1:23:22

mascot hero. You can read a...

1:23:24

The key on this is... You

1:23:27

need to purchase an NFT to

1:23:29

play the game at all. Oh

1:23:31

God! What the fuck! Oobesoft was

1:23:34

one of the first major video

1:23:36

game companies to go in on

1:23:38

NFTs and blockchain and launch its

1:23:40

own NFTs back in 2022. Oobesoft

1:23:43

also tried to launch Web 3

1:23:45

guns. an armor in a recon

1:23:47

break point for players to sell

1:23:50

and trade, Ubysoft has since stopped

1:23:52

talking about Web 3 and blockchain,

1:23:54

much like the rest of the

1:23:56

industry is NFTs have gone the

1:23:59

way of non-fungible dinosaur. But it

1:24:01

seems that Ubysoft did have one

1:24:03

more game tied to Web 3

1:24:06

of the pipeline and decided to

1:24:08

quietly release it. Two weeks ago.

1:24:10

Oh, I don't know why they're

1:24:13

wasting their time on this and

1:24:15

they haven't released an album since

1:24:17

push pull back in 2018 Christ

1:24:19

Oh, yeah, I just went to

1:24:22

the website and to start this

1:24:24

you got to buy West Yeah,

1:24:26

you have to buy a NFT

1:24:29

to even basically unlock the beginning

1:24:31

of the game one of 10,000.

1:24:33

Oh, yoy yoy. So they it

1:24:35

was one of those things they

1:24:38

sunk all this money into it.

1:24:40

We might as well just put

1:24:42

it out there to get something

1:24:45

back from it. Yeah, that's, that's

1:24:47

exactly what it feels. But you

1:24:49

gotta, I think you gotta pay

1:24:52

for it with Ethereum. Wouldn't be

1:24:54

surprised. Which is a coin. There,

1:24:56

there, hey, there is still that

1:24:58

cache of people that still think

1:25:01

that NFT is a thing. And

1:25:03

NFT games are the way of

1:25:05

the future. I know, because I

1:25:08

meet them at my bar every

1:25:10

now and then, and they try

1:25:12

to get me to play. There

1:25:14

was one guy that was hitting

1:25:17

hard on this horse racing game

1:25:19

that you buy horses and race

1:25:21

them, and the horses are NFTs,

1:25:24

and you can win real money

1:25:26

playing this game. And no, no,

1:25:28

I'm not going to. I'm only

1:25:31

sitting here listening to you because

1:25:33

the company pays me to do

1:25:35

that. Yep. Otherwise, I would have

1:25:37

excused myself a long time ago,

1:25:40

but I'm your captured audience, so

1:25:42

tell me about your bullshit NFT

1:25:44

game. I love that they've somehow,

1:25:47

like, you buy the NFTs with

1:25:49

crypto. They've mixed to two of

1:25:51

your favorite things. Oh, which crypto,

1:25:53

apparently you can make a lot

1:25:56

of money on, but it's so

1:25:58

speculative, it's ridiculous. I mean, how

1:26:00

many times is the bottom dropped

1:26:03

out of that before people get

1:26:05

a clue that, oh, a lot.

1:26:07

Maybe this isn't the best investment.

1:26:09

Bitcoin recently hit, I'm not going

1:26:12

down this road, but quickly, Bitcoin

1:26:14

hit like $100,000 and everyone started

1:26:16

investing again and then it dropped

1:26:19

the shit again, enough where people

1:26:21

lost a few bucks and now

1:26:23

it's just, it's all over the

1:26:26

place. Yeah. Yeah, it's a place to

1:26:28

put your money when you don't care

1:26:30

about your money. Yeah, yeah, yeah It's

1:26:32

a place to put your money

1:26:34

back in like 2009 When it

1:26:36

first started don't buy a pizza

1:26:39

with it. No, you could have made

1:26:41

Billions, but who the hell knew?

1:26:43

Yeah, exactly who knew and once

1:26:45

again? Those early, it's like any

1:26:48

freaking pyramid scheme, those early

1:26:50

people that got into it.

1:26:52

Yeah, they're making a mint.

1:26:54

Anyone who gets into it

1:26:56

now, you're, it's ridiculous. Do

1:26:58

not use your rent money

1:27:00

to invest in Bitcoin. Play the

1:27:02

stock market. Yeah, yeah. Use Steve's rent

1:27:04

money to play, to watch it. Oh,

1:27:07

is that a hint to me? Yes,

1:27:09

buy pay pay pay coin. Okay. I'm

1:27:11

gonna get Steve, I'm gonna get Big's

1:27:13

coin. That's right. You could make bigs

1:27:15

coin, hawk to a girl made her

1:27:18

own fucking coin. I know. And then

1:27:20

that tagged. Yeah, well, and that was

1:27:22

all a manipulation thing, wouldn't it? No,

1:27:24

I think it was just stupid. No,

1:27:26

no, no. They did a whole thing

1:27:29

where a whole bunch of people bought.

1:27:31

Oh, to kick it up? Can

1:27:33

you hear this? No, I didn't

1:27:36

buy it. Dude, there's an investigation

1:27:38

because she announced the NFT, there

1:27:40

was a huge buy, it went

1:27:42

up in value, and apparently the

1:27:45

people who were leading her down

1:27:47

the road on this, dumped and

1:27:49

made a bundle of money, cratered

1:27:51

it, and it's a big

1:27:53

scandal with even rumors of

1:27:56

like trade investigation or

1:27:58

something like that. That's

1:28:00

wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1:28:03

It was it was

1:28:05

about news. You don't

1:28:07

have a shit about

1:28:10

it was a pump

1:28:12

and dump which you

1:28:15

know for her Yeah,

1:28:17

did you just go

1:28:19

all around the

1:28:21

world for that joke?

1:28:24

No, I didn't all

1:28:26

around the world What

1:28:29

are we talking about?

1:28:31

Oh, I was just saying the

1:28:33

show is very different without

1:28:35

a death. I don't know

1:28:37

the names for your crazy

1:28:39

shit. How do you not

1:28:42

know? This is like... That's

1:28:44

one that just escaped me.

1:28:47

You know? This is like...

1:28:49

That's a James Bond reference

1:28:52

in Moonraker. Yeah. It's an

1:28:54

elementary school reference. I'm sorry

1:28:56

I don't have any

1:28:58

on the elementary school. I

1:29:01

know these don't give

1:29:03

a shit about James James

1:29:06

Bond fans are gonna

1:29:08

have to wait a little

1:29:10

longer yep as we

1:29:12

approach as we hit 2025 it'll

1:29:14

mark four years since No Time

1:29:16

to Die was released and still

1:29:19

no sign of movement on the

1:29:21

next James Bond movie. Now according

1:29:23

to a new report from the Wall

1:29:25

Street Journal, the delay in

1:29:27

Bond 26 is probably tied

1:29:29

to a heated feud between

1:29:31

Eon Productions and Amazon MGM

1:29:33

Studios. The report which includes

1:29:35

Intel from over 20 insiders,

1:29:37

executives, business partners and friends

1:29:39

of those involved paints a

1:29:41

picture of escalating tensions between

1:29:44

Eons Bobber Broccoli and Amazon's team.

1:29:46

Broccoli, who's known for fiercely guarding

1:29:48

the legacy of the Bond franchise,

1:29:50

reportedly described Amazon's approach to the

1:29:53

franchise as, quote, these people are

1:29:55

fucking morons, unquote. The alleged conflict

1:29:58

stems from Amazon's push. to

1:30:00

expand the bond universe quickly,

1:30:02

pitching various TV spin-offs and

1:30:04

projects after their 2022 merger

1:30:06

with MGM. However, Eon Productions,

1:30:09

which holds full creative control

1:30:11

over the bond brand, has

1:30:13

been strong in preserving the

1:30:15

franchise's quality and exclusivity. This

1:30:18

control... built by Broccoli and

1:30:20

her production partner Michael G.

1:30:22

Wilson, has historically ensured Bond

1:30:24

films maintain their distinct cinematic

1:30:26

identity. And Amazon's MGM Global

1:30:29

Head, Jennifer Salke, recently hinted

1:30:31

at patience as crucial as

1:30:33

the two sides navigate this juncture.

1:30:35

Her comments suggesting that Bond's return

1:30:37

is not happening any time soon,

1:30:39

as reinforcing the idea there's probably

1:30:41

something to this feud between Broccoli

1:30:43

and... Amazon I kind of side

1:30:45

with broccoli I like yeah, yeah,

1:30:48

I like that the exclusivity I

1:30:50

don't like the idea of let's

1:30:52

make a bunch of shitty TV

1:30:54

movies shit about double oh three

1:30:56

or whatever I have three words

1:30:58

for you James Bond Jr. Yeah What

1:31:00

the fuck is James Bond June

1:31:03

cartoon cartoon oh god no it was

1:31:05

a thing it was real. Yeah had

1:31:07

action figures and everything oh yeah had

1:31:09

action figures and everything oh

1:31:11

yeah it was bad Yeah, it

1:31:13

was real bad. Now I really

1:31:15

side with broccoli. Is it broccoli

1:31:17

or broccoli? It's broccoli. Okay.

1:31:20

It is a legend. They

1:31:22

are descended. Yeah. From

1:31:24

the broccoli family that

1:31:26

created broccoli. Invetted. See,

1:31:28

another reason why broccoli

1:31:30

is suss, because it's a

1:31:33

fake food. Because it was invented.

1:31:35

It was made. From what? Brussels

1:31:38

sprouts and cauliflower? Yeah,

1:31:40

yeah, it's really it's

1:31:42

a manipulation of yeah, I

1:31:44

think cauliflower is a manipulation

1:31:46

of a cabbage family thing

1:31:48

too. Could be. See, two

1:31:51

reasons, two reasons, not to

1:31:53

eat broccoli. Two reasons, cauliflower

1:31:55

and Brussels sprouts. That's right.

1:31:57

At least not without cheese.

1:31:59

Oh no, not without throwing

1:32:02

it into the... And fuck

1:32:04

you people who are trying

1:32:07

to bring back Brussels sprouts,

1:32:09

just by adding a little

1:32:12

bacon and balsamic vinegar. It's

1:32:14

still, they're still gross. No,

1:32:16

but if you roast it,

1:32:19

you mean burn it? Burn

1:32:21

it? Yes. Burn it when

1:32:24

you talk dirty. That's someone

1:32:26

who hated. Russell sprouts, growing

1:32:29

up. Same, like one of

1:32:31

the worst things. Oh, they smell so

1:32:33

bad. I love them now. Your palate

1:32:35

changes. No, it hasn't. The Brussels sprout

1:32:37

themselves changed. They genetically manipulated to take

1:32:40

the bitterness out of it. They don't

1:32:42

taste the same as they used to.

1:32:44

They don't smell bad like they used

1:32:46

to? Well, it depends how you cook

1:32:48

it. But sure, the complete taste of

1:32:51

those has changed. Like science has changed

1:32:53

the Brussels sprout. And Brussels sprout farts

1:32:55

still smell bad. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's

1:32:57

not going on going to average. Vegan

1:32:59

farts or just... Broccoli for it too.

1:33:02

But I would run from Brussels Sproughts,

1:33:04

but if I see that as a

1:33:06

side now, it's one of my first

1:33:08

choice. So normally, they generally have like

1:33:10

balsamic vinegar and bacon

1:33:12

or something like that, or they're

1:33:15

really roasted. Can you just have

1:33:17

like steamed Brussels Sproughts? You can,

1:33:19

but it's more fun and tasty

1:33:21

if you give it a nice

1:33:23

grilling. Well, everything's like that. Yeah,

1:33:25

yeah. If you prep it right.

1:33:27

It tastes better. And now, prep

1:33:30

it by killing all the

1:33:32

Brussels sprout flavor out of

1:33:34

it. See, because here's what I

1:33:36

will say about broccoli. It's

1:33:38

almost edible if you do

1:33:41

not subject it to heat at

1:33:43

all. If you just serve it cold.

1:33:45

I like broccoli fine. Not

1:33:47

broccoli, it's a good vegetable.

1:33:49

It's very good for you.

1:33:51

So are many other vegetables

1:33:54

that don't taste like

1:33:56

shit. This is true, but

1:33:58

broccoli is is is good

1:34:00

for you. It's got that dark

1:34:02

green... So is kale and kale

1:34:04

is not meant to be eaten.

1:34:06

It's meant to be the dressing

1:34:08

around the Wendy's buffet. You can

1:34:10

shop it up and... It's like

1:34:12

the partially of the 70s. Well

1:34:14

I used to eat the parsley

1:34:16

too. Actually what? No, isn't Kale

1:34:18

a 90s thing or... Oh yeah,

1:34:20

that's a very much a 90s

1:34:22

thing, yeah. Parsley of the 90s?

1:34:25

Small, no, it's like the Kish

1:34:27

of the 90s. I'm telling you,

1:34:29

when the Wendy salad bar went

1:34:31

away, they had nothing to do

1:34:33

with all that... Kale or all

1:34:36

those kale farms desperate for it.

1:34:38

Damn you, Wendy's when Sizzler fell

1:34:40

so did they I will say

1:34:43

one of my guy with a

1:34:45

sizzler right around a quarter from

1:34:48

his place. One of my favorite

1:34:50

lines and cheers was there they

1:34:52

were I can't remember if it

1:34:55

was if it was Woody or

1:34:57

whatever was pushing some sort of

1:34:59

veggie drink And so everyone

1:35:02

was taking a sip and

1:35:04

Frazier had his and he goes, oh,

1:35:06

the kale's a bad idea.

1:35:08

Boy, that sizzler remark reminded

1:35:10

me, Steve. Remember the time

1:35:12

you, Lauren, and I went

1:35:15

to sizzlers? Because I'd never been.

1:35:17

Oh. And you guys were like,

1:35:19

oh, you go to sizzer? Do

1:35:21

you remember? You're looking like you
