to screen, a spotlight here on Radio

21
00:02:07.629 --> 00:02:13.030
Lebanon Ninety six point two FM.
Today is Friday, the twenty one of

22
00:02:13.189 --> 00:02:19.099
September, and we are excited,
so excited it's like good, I don't

23
00:02:19.099 --> 00:02:23.300
know who it's science fiction. I
don't even know that sentence made sense,

24
00:02:23.379 --> 00:02:25.460
but you know, this is what
we're going to be discussing today. We're

25
00:02:25.460 --> 00:02:30.889
going to be focusing on our love
of SCI FI, including talking about a

26
00:02:30.969 --> 00:02:37.330
fantastic SCI FI director. But I
can't do this alone, so let's not

27
00:02:37.530 --> 00:02:40.330
waste too much time. A time
and SCI FI and back. Okay,

28
00:02:40.449 --> 00:02:46.560
whatever. Join me and welcoming the
solo to my Chewbacca, which are also

29
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:51.280
two characters from sci fi fantasy movies, the one and only hod so low.

30
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:53.080
Hey, hey, look, I
think they get it. Yeah,

31
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:58.360
I think I think they understand what
we're doing. Maybe this is a little

32
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.389
bit and as sci Fi, II
fi. Yeah, this is what I

33
00:03:01.509 --> 00:03:05.629
love most about these these spotlight episodes. Is it? We get to like,

34
00:03:05.870 --> 00:03:07.990
we get to talk about a genre
like we talked about different things.

35
00:03:08.069 --> 00:03:14.219
It's awesome and today it's fun because
it's it's something we both really enjoy love.

36
00:03:14.379 --> 00:03:16.259
Yeah, so much, Oh,
so much, the genre we're passionate

37
00:03:16.300 --> 00:03:21.259
about, to we love. We
there's so many films, there's so many

38
00:03:21.419 --> 00:03:24.139
subtypes of sci Fi's yeah, wow, and see that. The beauty of

39
00:03:24.219 --> 00:03:28.969
it is that is that my love
of Sci fi actually is is across all

40
00:03:29.050 --> 00:03:32.169
forms of mediums. I've read SCI
FI books, I like Scifi TV shows,

41
00:03:32.650 --> 00:03:38.449
SCI FI animation, sci fi movies. It's every. It's every.

42
00:03:38.530 --> 00:03:42.360
I'm so sci fi for SCI FI. Sci Five, S I five,

43
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.560
Oh man. So, speaking of
Sci Fi, if you could go back

44
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:51.439
in time, what, what?
What time area would ever go? Would

45
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.870
you go to? I think,
as scary as it would be, I

46
00:03:54.909 --> 00:04:00.909
would go back to dinosaur times.
Oh Nice. So which one? Like

47
00:04:00.990 --> 00:04:03.789
the curtaceous period, that Jurassic period? You're very Ross right now. I

48
00:04:03.909 --> 00:04:08.629
am. I am so Ross right
now. I had probably the Jurassic period,

49
00:04:09.110 --> 00:04:11.259
who my kidding, is the only
period I know because of the movie.

50
00:04:11.259 --> 00:04:15.939
Yeah, nobody, you know,
like seeing these big creatures and there's

51
00:04:15.979 --> 00:04:19.180
so many questions, because the thing
is with dinosaurs it's not very sci fi,

52
00:04:19.379 --> 00:04:24.610
it's very really existed and we see
them in movies. Are they descendants

53
00:04:24.610 --> 00:04:28.290
of reptiles? Birds? So many
questions about that. Very true, through

54
00:04:28.370 --> 00:04:30.730
and very true. Hopefully, not
not being eaten by t REX would be

55
00:04:30.810 --> 00:04:35.329
good. Hopefully your survived the Jurassic
period. I hope so. All right,

56
00:04:35.370 --> 00:04:40.360
will survive and will survive. How
about you? Um, I okay.

57
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:43.800
So I'm torn between two. I'm
I would love to go back to

58
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:47.839
the renaissance period, okay, you
know, specifically around you know, because

59
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:51.949
that's where a lot of the poets
and a lot of that that very classic.

60
00:04:53.029 --> 00:04:56.470
It's a very romantic period and I
think I would, I would do

61
00:04:56.550 --> 00:04:58.990
well for myself during that period.
Yeah, I think so. Um,

62
00:04:59.589 --> 00:05:02.589
but I would also love to go
back to, you know, the the

63
00:05:03.110 --> 00:05:08.300
early years of cinema. Yeah,
kind of like see how they were discovering

64
00:05:08.339 --> 00:05:11.980
all this stuff, like what led
to parallel editing, what led to,

65
00:05:12.019 --> 00:05:15.300
you know, the the close up
and and all that stuff. Like,

66
00:05:15.379 --> 00:05:20.379
I think just seeing, witnessing the
birth of the thing that makes us a

67
00:05:20.569 --> 00:05:24.569
create a radio show all about it. You know, like I think that.

68
00:05:24.689 --> 00:05:29.329
I think that would be that would
also be fascinating. So yeah,

69
00:05:29.329 --> 00:05:32.290
I think, I think those that
could, I could see like writing poetry

70
00:05:32.410 --> 00:05:36.839
and painting and sculpting. I don't
know about sculpting or painting, but definitely,

71
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:40.920
you know, using a quill and
writing some poetry and probably and like

72
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:46.079
being best friends with the William Shakespeare
will will billy billy, billy bud.

73
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:49.589
I don't know if you'd appreciate me
calling them Billy Bud, but yeah,

74
00:05:49.790 --> 00:05:53.230
that could be your thing, you
know, like your code. You your

75
00:05:53.310 --> 00:05:59.430
bro names the bud to my billy. I don't know. Also, along

76
00:05:59.629 --> 00:06:05.300
the SCI fi lines, do you
believe in in in and in life in

77
00:06:05.379 --> 00:06:10.180
the outer rims and in other galaxies? Are you a fan of like alien

78
00:06:10.259 --> 00:06:13.980
theories? Well, I am one. So yeah, definitely Nice. Yeah,

79
00:06:14.019 --> 00:06:15.939
you discover a lot of things on
script to screen. I come in

80
00:06:16.019 --> 00:06:21.050
peace or some things. No,
non, no, look, I think

81
00:06:21.089 --> 00:06:25.730
the universe is too big for us
to be alone. Yeah, I agree.

82
00:06:25.769 --> 00:06:28.850
I don't know if it's aliens I
believe in, but definitely kind of

83
00:06:29.009 --> 00:06:34.160
life form out there. Okay,
it's there. Their possibilities and it's so

84
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:39.120
huge. It's humongous and I don't
think we'll ever see it in the near

85
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:44.519
future. It's going to take millions
of years maybe to get to that technology.

86
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:47.389
And I'm sure there's someone out there. I think I there is a

87
00:06:47.470 --> 00:06:51.870
if there is a wiser, smarter
life form out there, it's very clear

88
00:06:53.790 --> 00:06:56.750
why they would be staying away from
this planet. Yeah, makes sense.

89
00:06:56.949 --> 00:07:00.990
Yeah, but if they're listening to
us, tune into us every Friday and

90
00:07:00.149 --> 00:07:04.660
said, yeah, you know,
you could, you could listen in and

91
00:07:04.899 --> 00:07:10.100
and you know, hear US talk
about movies and TV shows. I don't

92
00:07:10.100 --> 00:07:13.180
even know what you used to entertain
yourselves in other galaxies, but hey,

93
00:07:13.500 --> 00:07:16.930
who are we to talk? No, no, I used to entertain myself

94
00:07:16.970 --> 00:07:20.769
as a kid, by the ways, to create these stories and and sci

95
00:07:20.850 --> 00:07:25.889
fi played a big role in it, with these characters. And who are

96
00:07:25.889 --> 00:07:28.329
you kidding? You still create hit
those stories? I do. Yeah,

97
00:07:28.370 --> 00:07:30.759
you do, absolutely. So what
do we got today? If for our

98
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:36.319
first to spotlight Mr Solo, we're
going to be talking about director. I

99
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:42.720
think we both really, really,
really like we're talking about Mr James Cameron.

100
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:47.269
Yeah, the only the godfather of
the Terminator of the Titanic and I

101
00:07:48.149 --> 00:07:51.790
love and or hate him. A
yeah, he's is James Cameron and he'll

102
00:07:51.829 --> 00:07:58.860
be back and heying to the future. Never mind. Sure. So,

103
00:07:59.100 --> 00:08:03.139
yeah, love him or hate him, James Cameron is is a fan.

104
00:08:03.300 --> 00:08:07.379
I mean he's got a legacy,
he's he's always been at the forefront for

105
00:08:07.579 --> 00:08:13.170
technologies and and and the abandonment of
technologies and cinema. I mean he was

106
00:08:13.250 --> 00:08:18.089
essentially the one that brought back the
idea of d films. Yeah, with

107
00:08:18.329 --> 00:08:22.370
with Avatar, film that is much
loved and much hated at the same time.

108
00:08:22.410 --> 00:08:26.360
Very debated, a very debated film. I personally am on the pro

109
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:31.040
Avatar. I love the film.
I've seen it like six or seven times.

110
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:35.759
I still enjoy it. And now, apparently in the second the the

111
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:41.629
the much awaited sequel, which is
taken almost like a decade to make.

112
00:08:41.950 --> 00:08:46.710
I said almost, but I think
has been a decade, two thousand and

113
00:08:46.710 --> 00:08:48.789
nine if I'm not mistaken. So
nine years. Yeah, so by the

114
00:08:48.870 --> 00:08:52.950
time it'll be released, probably more
over there over Yac. Yeah. So

115
00:08:52.549 --> 00:08:58.460
apparently now he's trying to use three
technology, in motion, captured technology,

116
00:08:58.980 --> 00:09:03.899
underwater. Yeah, he always trying. It's crazy. He always tries to

117
00:09:03.940 --> 00:09:07.659
defy expectations and, yeah, beyond
and do things that either haven't been done

118
00:09:07.860 --> 00:09:11.250
or or no one's even thought of
before. I mean, think back to

119
00:09:11.330 --> 00:09:15.690
Terminator, to judgment. Wow,
look at the effects that were used in

120
00:09:15.809 --> 00:09:20.610
that film and then think of the
release state, just the amount of I

121
00:09:20.730 --> 00:09:24.399
mean the liquid and the metal,
and you know that. I mean that

122
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.799
film. You could even almost forget
the release date because it still works.

123
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:31.360
It's super current, it's real,
super, super, super curtsy. It's

124
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:35.399
as good as a lot of shows
with not shows, a lot of shows

125
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:41.110
and movies we've been seeing recently.
Absolutely, it's still I mean it can

126
00:09:41.190 --> 00:09:43.669
compete against any one of those films, I absolutely easily, just like that.

127
00:09:46.350 --> 00:09:48.629
You know, I think he's also
not only has he done a lot

128
00:09:48.669 --> 00:09:52.860
of stuff as a director to push
the film industry forward, but he's also

129
00:09:52.860 --> 00:09:56.299
been at the helm of a lot
of producing stuff. He's produced a lot

130
00:09:56.379 --> 00:10:01.299
of really good films helped shape how
they how they move. There's a new

131
00:10:01.340 --> 00:10:05.580
film coming out a later I believe
it's later this year, directed by Robert

132
00:10:05.580 --> 00:10:11.370
Rodriguez, but he is producing it. ALITA, yeah, alida battle angel,

133
00:10:11.409 --> 00:10:13.210
and that film, I mean,
do you see the trailer. It

134
00:10:13.330 --> 00:10:18.850
looked really interesting. Looks Insane,
it looks very much super insane and again

135
00:10:18.889 --> 00:10:20.879
again, I think it's going to
be like a very fun movie and I

136
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.519
like the combination, by the way, off Rodriguez and Cameron. It's because

137
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:30.039
very indie and very like big budget
film. Yeah, very, very complimentary,

138
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:31.480
but very different to the same time. So I'm very curious to see

139
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:39.110
what's gonna Happen. You know,
I think also cameron, the fact that

140
00:10:39.190 --> 00:10:43.509
he also writes a lot of his
work is also something that's that's very interesting,

141
00:10:43.750 --> 00:10:46.429
like the majority, like he wrote
the script to titanic. I believe

142
00:10:46.470 --> 00:10:48.230
it was him or he has a
writing credit. I'm not going so sure

143
00:10:48.269 --> 00:10:52.700
if he wrote the whole thing,
but I know Avatar, he fully wrote

144
00:10:52.779 --> 00:10:58.980
that and he and and the amazing
thing with the Avatar Franchise, and this

145
00:10:58.059 --> 00:11:01.940
is something that you and I have
discussed in the past, he's literally taking

146
00:11:01.019 --> 00:11:05.850
his time to release these movies to
ensure that they are done the right way.

147
00:11:05.970 --> 00:11:13.210
Property and and whether it be from
from a technological standpoint, form a

148
00:11:13.250 --> 00:11:16.330
narrative standpoint, from, I don't
know, an animation standpoint, etc.

149
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:22.120
The beauty of what James Cameron is
doing is as he's like. Well,

150
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:24.440
you know what, fans love the
first one. They're going to appreciate the

151
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:28.759
second one once it's released because of
the quality of how good it's going to

152
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:33.950
be. Here's to hoping. But
this is something that I have to respect

153
00:11:33.029 --> 00:11:37.190
with Cameron. He's never one to
rush his work. If you think about

154
00:11:37.230 --> 00:11:41.309
it, on at least directorial point
of view, he hasn't done so many

155
00:11:41.429 --> 00:11:46.830
movies. He has I don't know
how many direct directors credit, but if

156
00:11:46.909 --> 00:11:52.539
you look at the time span between
one movie and another, it really there

157
00:11:52.659 --> 00:11:56.139
is some time, and I think
that's like you said, he takes his

158
00:11:56.299 --> 00:12:01.100
time and what he does he wants
to make good products exactly. He's exact

159
00:12:01.179 --> 00:12:05.049
stories, if I believe, if
it technology isn't where he wants it to

160
00:12:05.129 --> 00:12:09.289
be, he'll wait. Yeah,
absolutely, he'll be patient and he will

161
00:12:11.649 --> 00:12:13.610
work on those films. Yeah,
I'm actually we could, because you brought

162
00:12:13.610 --> 00:12:16.919
that up. I'm actually looking for
to see, like when was, I

163
00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:20.399
think, the last I really think
the last time that he directed is an

164
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:24.639
Avatar. It is Avatar, which
is like a huge I mean, if

165
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:28.399
you think about it, that's a
huge a gap of time since he's actually

166
00:12:30.029 --> 00:12:35.990
released anything that's he's directed. And
then, if you don't count his producing

167
00:12:37.110 --> 00:12:45.700
credit with with Alida, he's also
been working on the the miniseries story of

168
00:12:45.740 --> 00:12:48.659
science fiction. That is something that
he has been working on. So I

169
00:12:48.860 --> 00:12:52.179
know he was a part of that
as well, but I don't think that

170
00:12:52.340 --> 00:12:56.220
really counts. Okay, so you've
got avatar. It was no nine,

171
00:12:56.500 --> 00:13:01.769
was his last directorial. Yeah,
he did something called Taruk, the first

172
00:13:01.809 --> 00:13:03.610
flight, which is a TV movie
in two thousand and sixteen. He was

173
00:13:03.649 --> 00:13:07.809
a collaborating director. Yeah, and
that has to do, I believe that

174
00:13:07.009 --> 00:13:11.009
has to do with the Avatar,
the world of Avatar. Absolutely, and

175
00:13:11.090 --> 00:13:16.519
the rest is, well, there's
nothing on a director the directorial standpoint from

176
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:22.080
there on. Yeah, interesting,
is very interesting. He's just but and

177
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:24.960
the majority of this, of that
he's worked on, has had as has

178
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:31.789
been very science fiction based. Definitely, definitely between the terminator, between the

179
00:13:31.950 --> 00:13:39.830
abyss. Between you've got terminator the
Abyss Aliens, which he totally revamped that

180
00:13:39.070 --> 00:13:46.820
franchise, gave it a brand new
life. He was in he directed Prawana

181
00:13:46.899 --> 00:13:50.220
part two. That was one of
his first earlier works. That's insane.

182
00:13:50.259 --> 00:13:56.009
Ya got his first feature film.
Yeah, you've got titanic, which is

183
00:13:56.090 --> 00:14:00.330
not. That's not you've got try
by, which is true. I really

184
00:14:00.370 --> 00:14:01.409
enjoy by the way, it's a
lot of fun. It's a really good

185
00:14:01.690 --> 00:14:05.769
so it's actually really good films,
good action film. And he's got let's

186
00:14:05.769 --> 00:14:11.399
see, he's filming Avatar two and
three at the moment. He's in preproduction

187
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:13.759
for four and five. I didn't
even realize they were supposed to be five

188
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:16.000
of them. Yeah, I thought
they were going to be like for the

189
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:18.960
next one is out in two thousand
and twenty, apparently, so that's in

190
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:22.919
two years. Yeah, and then
and then you've got twenty one, two,

191
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:24.669
twenty one, two thousand and twenty
four, two thousand and twenty five.

192
00:14:24.789 --> 00:14:28.549
Okay, so they'll be two and
three will come out a year apart

193
00:14:28.710 --> 00:14:31.669
and then four and five will come
out a year apart. Yeah, but

194
00:14:31.750 --> 00:14:35.110
let's see if he sticks to that
timeline, because he does have the tendency

195
00:14:35.149 --> 00:14:37.350
of changing. Well, not only
that, but you also now need to

196
00:14:37.549 --> 00:14:46.220
stick to Disney's timeline, because now
Disney own owns. Essentially they own James

197
00:14:46.299 --> 00:14:50.100
Cameron. But again, if you
go back to the things that that make

198
00:14:50.139 --> 00:14:52.049
him who he is, if you
look back at his his legacy and film.

199
00:14:52.129 --> 00:14:58.250
I think one of the film's for
sure, that people consistent constantly talk

200
00:14:58.289 --> 00:15:01.129
about when you talk about James Cameron, I think it's a tie between aliens

201
00:15:01.370 --> 00:15:09.639
and titanic. Mostly titanic mostly gets
negative comments because I know a lot of

202
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:13.000
people dislike the film. I'm a
big again, I'm an advocate for titanic.

203
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.320
I think, yeah, sure,
the love story might be a little

204
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:22.750
cheesy, but over all the film
is excellently made. From the tension,

205
00:15:24.070 --> 00:15:28.389
from the way that the titanic is
shot. Again, think of the these

206
00:15:28.549 --> 00:15:33.990
big, gigantic said pieces and think
of the time when this was made.

207
00:15:35.509 --> 00:15:39.500
It's nuts, it's crazy. And
then with aliens, we were just talking

208
00:15:39.539 --> 00:15:45.539
about this earlier today. You know, with aliens he kind of breathed new

209
00:15:45.620 --> 00:15:50.049
life into female heroines in SCI FI. Yeah, because of what he did

210
00:15:50.129 --> 00:15:54.929
with Ridley Scott, with Ripley Sigourny
Weaver's character, but he kind of did

211
00:15:54.970 --> 00:15:58.370
that, I think, also in
the Second Terminator with the Sarah Connors Character.

212
00:15:58.610 --> 00:16:03.330
For sure, he's very good at, I think, writing women,

213
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:07.519
making them these very as you said, it's not in your face. I'm

214
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:11.279
a woman and I'm strong, right, right, no, it's she is

215
00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:14.879
strong and and she does that with
her actions, and she's a strong character.

216
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.120
Yeah, she is a human being
that is very strong, that just

217
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:22.789
happens to be, yeah, a
female that happens to be a woman complete

218
00:16:22.149 --> 00:16:26.070
Um, which, which again is. And then, if you think of

219
00:16:26.710 --> 00:16:30.789
Alida, this is also another female
character at the Houm. She's also a

220
00:16:30.149 --> 00:16:34.419
protagonist of our own story who seems
to be rather kick ass. Even an

221
00:16:34.460 --> 00:16:40.379
Avatar is alway still down. So
we had on as character, your nine

222
00:16:40.419 --> 00:16:44.659
Ti, not in a nightteria,
maybe something. Hang on really quickly.

223
00:16:44.899 --> 00:16:48.169
You can do it, I can
do it. I don't Jake Sully was

224
00:16:48.610 --> 00:16:52.570
I mean, yeah, Jake's a
jicks who jis Uli Sulei? Jake Sulei?

225
00:16:52.690 --> 00:16:56.649
Atari's no, it's definitely not Atari. That would be kind of funny,

226
00:16:56.690 --> 00:16:59.610
though. But by the way,
while you searching, you know what

227
00:16:59.649 --> 00:17:02.480
I want to watch? I want
to watch Jim ATII. You're right here,

228
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:04.279
ti. Yeah, I want to
watch James Cameron's version of Aquaman.

229
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:07.599
You know that. I would love
you know cameras version of Aucuman. He

230
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:11.160
was on the show onto Russi and
he started in the show. He's liking

231
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:14.240
for other's right. That's right.
That's right, and he's supposedly directing I

232
00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:18.789
aquaman. I would have liked to
see his version of Aquomen, I think.

233
00:17:18.630 --> 00:17:22.549
One Final Trivia. Yeah, regarding
James Cameron before we go in our

234
00:17:22.549 --> 00:17:33.019
second musical break here. So when
Michael Crayton was pitching Jurassic Park, James

235
00:17:33.059 --> 00:17:38.819
Cameron actually read that pitch, got
very excited over Michael CRICHTON's storyline. Yeah,

236
00:17:38.859 --> 00:17:42.859
calls up Michael Crechton and says when
are we making this into a movie,

237
00:17:44.220 --> 00:17:47.809
and Michael Crichton's answer was you should
have called twenty four hours ago,

238
00:17:47.809 --> 00:17:52.130
because Steven Spielberg already bought it.
Wow. So, could you imagine if

239
00:17:52.170 --> 00:17:55.730
we were living in a world where
James Cameron actually took on Jazz Park?

240
00:17:55.849 --> 00:17:57.960
And what's funny this is this comes
from the story of science fiction. He

241
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:02.880
actually told Steven Spielberg he thought,
he thinks that if it, he thinks

242
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:07.160
the universe for allowing for for setting
it up the way it did. You

243
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:11.119
know the way it ended up happening, which is Steven Spielberg Directing Jasic Park,

244
00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:15.190
because in in Cameron's opinion, he
thinks he would have done a very

245
00:18:15.349 --> 00:18:19.630
scary, gory you know Allah aliens
version of Jurassic Park, where as Steven

246
00:18:19.670 --> 00:18:23.789
Spielberg was like a twelve year old, you know, in the world of

247
00:18:23.829 --> 00:18:27.579
Jurassic Park. So I just thought
that was very interesting. You know,

248
00:18:27.619 --> 00:18:30.980
what they should do when they give
the same movie to do two directors in

249
00:18:32.059 --> 00:18:36.019
the script and they just do their
versions and see what happens at there's actually

250
00:18:36.019 --> 00:18:38.019
a series called the chair that actually
did that. I think, yeah,

251
00:18:38.059 --> 00:18:41.049
you've told me, yeah, it's
super cool, but imagine it with like

252
00:18:41.089 --> 00:18:45.210
two huge Tex Spielberg and Cameron.
I would want, I wis, I

253
00:18:45.250 --> 00:18:48.730
would binge watch that show if they
did that. Okay, so one of

254
00:18:48.769 --> 00:18:52.690
the biggest things for me, I
think, when it comes to this genre,

255
00:18:52.849 --> 00:18:56.559
I think the the beauty of piphe
is that sometimes you can, you

256
00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:03.799
can take on topics or or issues
or social commentary and do it in a

257
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:07.279
way that's very indirect, like you're
pointing it out in a way that is

258
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:12.230
thematic, that is metaphorical, that
is symbolic, but you're not actually literally,

259
00:19:12.589 --> 00:19:17.589
you know, showing whatever it is
that you want to talk about.

260
00:19:18.589 --> 00:19:22.630
You know, with what things like
Star Wars, wars, there's a lot

261
00:19:22.710 --> 00:19:26.099
of there's a lot of spirituality they're
talking about religions, they're talking about the

262
00:19:26.099 --> 00:19:32.460
corruption that religion could lead to,
the corruption of the government. You know,

263
00:19:33.140 --> 00:19:37.059
although the prequels are not necessarily liked
by, excuse me, by a

264
00:19:37.140 --> 00:19:41.049
lot of people, I'm a big
fan of the prequels because of all the

265
00:19:41.130 --> 00:19:45.930
politics that is in them. Sure, a lot of a lot of star

266
00:19:45.970 --> 00:19:48.490
wars fans love the originals because of
the fact that they were fun, there

267
00:19:48.569 --> 00:19:52.359
were adventures, Blah Blah. I
actually like the all the political stuff that

268
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:57.279
happens in episodes two and three,
because episode one doesn't have a lot of

269
00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:00.240
politics. It has it, but
not as strongly as two and three,

270
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:03.759
I think. And then if you
look at the animated series, the clone

271
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:10.630
wars, literally, I mean so
much politics, and I like it because

272
00:20:10.630 --> 00:20:12.910
they're dealing with things like in the
clone war as animated series, they were

273
00:20:12.950 --> 00:20:18.990
dealing with things like terrorism. They're
dealing with you know, like you know

274
00:20:18.990 --> 00:20:22.819
when the government listens in, they
tap your phones or whatever. They're dealing

275
00:20:22.900 --> 00:20:26.180
with all this stuff in a way
that's not necessarily in your face because you're

276
00:20:26.180 --> 00:20:29.539
like, oh well, this is
fiction. So you know what I mean?

277
00:20:29.819 --> 00:20:33.339
Does that make sense? It does, it does. I'm a bit

278
00:20:33.420 --> 00:20:37.890
different than the new when it comes
to liking SCIFI. Okay, I get

279
00:20:37.930 --> 00:20:41.609
your point and I do agree with
it. But reasons I fell in love

280
00:20:41.609 --> 00:20:45.490
with Scifin and why I love Sci
fi it it has this element that allows

281
00:20:45.529 --> 00:20:48.690
you to dream. Yes, yes, for sure. So, so these

282
00:20:48.809 --> 00:20:52.720
new worlds you see, these you
cultures, these new people, the the

283
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:56.720
the notion of time travel, because
SCI FI, is it not just space?

284
00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:00.920
And Yeah, it's anything technology,
is anything technology based. So so

285
00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:06.630
films like back to the future or
star wars or star Trek. They were

286
00:21:06.789 --> 00:21:11.990
fun, and this is the part
I love about the spectacle, the again,

287
00:21:12.470 --> 00:21:17.829
discovering places you would fancy, you
would want to go, you would

288
00:21:17.829 --> 00:21:23.460
want to try a weekend on endoor. Yes, I remember one of my

289
00:21:23.579 --> 00:21:29.420
favorite experiences as a kid was in
Disneyland. Here a Disney action and it

290
00:21:29.500 --> 00:21:33.970
was going to start wars. Such
a fun ride and I felt I was

291
00:21:33.170 --> 00:21:37.289
in star wars and we're attacking the
death star. It was like a dream,

292
00:21:37.329 --> 00:21:41.890
kind of kid dream come true.
And they've updated it now, so

293
00:21:41.009 --> 00:21:45.609
now you get like all the new
you know, you get all the new

294
00:21:45.369 --> 00:21:49.640
planets and you see Finny, see
Ray. So it's like it's updated,

295
00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:52.640
while seeing all the other stiles.
I was in France a couple of years

296
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:56.319
ago and I wanted to go in
to start tours and it was under reconstruction

297
00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:00.079
because they were, yeah, doing
these changes. So yes, starts.

298
00:22:02.109 --> 00:22:06.670
It's always been fun for me.
Sci Fi has always been like independence day.

299
00:22:07.509 --> 00:22:11.390
Sometimes these movies can just be silly
fun where you blow stars attacks.

300
00:22:11.549 --> 00:22:15.740
Mars Tex is, to me,
is kind of underrated. It's a lot

301
00:22:15.900 --> 00:22:18.980
of brilliant movie. It's a lot
of it's so brilliant at the Tim Burton,

302
00:22:19.180 --> 00:22:22.500
yeah, Souper at his best.
Super from a lot of people don't

303
00:22:22.539 --> 00:22:25.660
like this film. By the way, I love it. I think it's

304
00:22:25.660 --> 00:22:27.900
great. Highly enjoy it. I
think it's great. It's so weird but

305
00:22:29.099 --> 00:22:32.450
so much fun see it and I
totally agree with you about the the the

306
00:22:33.410 --> 00:22:37.609
adventure and the hope, hopefulness of
SCI FI. I think one of the

307
00:22:37.609 --> 00:22:40.890
biggest reasons why I started backing away
from fantasy, because I'm also a big

308
00:22:40.930 --> 00:22:42.609
fantasy fans, I like Lord of
the Rings and all that stuff, is

309
00:22:42.650 --> 00:22:48.440
because fantasy is now gotten to the
point where it's just too dark. I

310
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:52.759
think a lot of fantasies now following
the trend of game of thrones. Yeah,

311
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:56.680
so it's becoming a very dark,
very gruesome, very unforgiving whereas sci

312
00:22:56.799 --> 00:23:02.309
fi, even with the difficulties,
it's still about hope, it's still about

313
00:23:02.390 --> 00:23:07.990
the future, it's about, you
know, even though they are kind of

314
00:23:07.069 --> 00:23:12.500
futuristic, it's still about finding an
even better future. So I kind of

315
00:23:12.619 --> 00:23:17.940
I really do enjoy that when it
comes to sci Fi, and I love

316
00:23:18.019 --> 00:23:22.980
again that it is. It is
so adaptable to too many mediums, to

317
00:23:23.059 --> 00:23:30.410
animation, to cinema, to serialized
contents, to novels, to comic books.

318
00:23:30.849 --> 00:23:36.730
I mean it's endless. Yeah,
yeah, it's end this possibility.

319
00:23:36.930 --> 00:23:40.569
Even video games. Oh Yeah,
for sure. There's a whole massive world

320
00:23:41.250 --> 00:23:44.799
of gaming with with SCI FI,
with with things that might have not been

321
00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:49.200
explored yet. On cinema there there
was a game called not worcross starcraft aft,

322
00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:52.519
which was like yeah, but on
plan so so so, yeah,

323
00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:56.910
the holes. It's a really fine
yeah, it is. I think it's

324
00:23:57.069 --> 00:24:02.190
probably ninety eight. I think it's
like during the time of like dd Aler

325
00:24:02.430 --> 00:24:04.190
and all that. Yeah, like
that, that trend, whole networking.

326
00:24:04.430 --> 00:24:10.299
Yeah, network networking and all that
good stuff. Yeah, but to me

327
00:24:10.420 --> 00:24:12.180
I think SCI FI is one of
my favorite genres because I me too,

328
00:24:14.220 --> 00:24:18.259
because it's it takes you away from
the everyday crap you have to deal with,

329
00:24:18.619 --> 00:24:21.900
and yet it's not dumb. Yeah, it doesn't dumb you down,

330
00:24:23.019 --> 00:24:26.970
but it is an escape. What
bothers me is that a lot of people

331
00:24:27.009 --> 00:24:32.329
don't look at sci fi that way. They say the stupid, it's fake,

332
00:24:32.569 --> 00:24:34.970
it's whatever. Yeah, they don't
look at the messages, as you

333
00:24:36.049 --> 00:24:40.839
were saying early, or they don't
look at Star Wars. Star Wars is

334
00:24:40.839 --> 00:24:45.000
an excellent example because with the whole
force and the balance between good and evil,

335
00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:51.880
right and wrong, these are very
thematic and very interesting topics, everyday

336
00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:56.069
topics. I mean, if if
you just, if you literally, if

337
00:24:56.109 --> 00:25:00.470
you, if you just take on, if you take on Yoda's teachings on

338
00:25:00.509 --> 00:25:06.230
their own, you could literally write
a brand new manual for life. You

339
00:25:06.309 --> 00:25:08.380
know, you must let go of
the things you are afraid to lose the

340
00:25:08.500 --> 00:25:12.140
most due not do or do not
do or do not there is no try.

341
00:25:12.180 --> 00:25:19.140
I mean it's crazy how much you
can learn from, you know,

342
00:25:19.500 --> 00:25:27.289
films like Star Wars Battlestar Galactica dealt
with, you know, the effects of

343
00:25:27.450 --> 00:25:36.240
war on on you know, surviving
human race, you know what happens when

344
00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:41.559
technology kind of backfires and it's almost
terminatory, and then you can look and

345
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:45.160
again, like this is kind of
we go into the subgenres of SCI FI.

346
00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:48.960
You've got SCI FI whore. You've
got sci fi fantasy like star wars.

347
00:25:49.029 --> 00:25:52.190
Get counts of sci fi fantasy because
of the forest in all that stuff.

348
00:25:52.470 --> 00:25:56.390
You've got SCI FI action. You've
got SCI FI comedy, with a

349
00:25:56.470 --> 00:25:59.630
film like Paul. Have you seen
Paul? Paul was very funny. Paul

350
00:25:59.750 --> 00:26:03.069
is Great. I Love Paul.
You've got SCI FI adventure. So you've

351
00:26:03.069 --> 00:26:07.779
got like the ET's the back to
the futures, and this is again this

352
00:26:07.900 --> 00:26:10.980
goes back to how brilliant sci fi
I'm still waiting for the SCI fi musical.

353
00:26:11.819 --> 00:26:14.619
Have they done a sci Fi?
No, start, they've done a

354
00:26:14.819 --> 00:26:22.769
star they've done sci fi western with
cowboys versus aliens. Yeah, no.

355
00:26:22.210 --> 00:26:26.410
And then actually a lot of people, a lot of film theorists and academics

356
00:26:26.450 --> 00:26:33.119
actually argue that Star Wars at its
core is a sci fi western, spaghetti

357
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:36.240
west. Yeah, it's a Spaghetti
Western in space, is what they call

358
00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:37.640
it, which I I mean,
you know, we think of solow and

359
00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:41.720
you know the WHO shot first and
all that stuff. It's very it's very

360
00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:48.630
sci Fi, e Scifi, you
sci Fi ashies. So what's one of

361
00:26:48.670 --> 00:26:52.789
your favorite sci five films? There's
aside from Star Star Wars, obviously star

362
00:26:52.869 --> 00:26:56.630
wars, Star Trek. I'll I
really enjoyed the first independence day. That

363
00:26:56.789 --> 00:27:00.660
was a very interesting and fun movie. I think it's one of will Smith's

364
00:27:02.059 --> 00:27:07.380
best performances. Back to the future. Okay, the whole trilogy, even

365
00:27:07.380 --> 00:27:08.859
though the third one is a bit
weaker than the others, but still.

366
00:27:10.859 --> 00:27:14.500
And I like how there are cowboys
in that. And finally, I think

367
00:27:14.700 --> 00:27:21.329
you'll you'll agree with this, stargate, the series, the movie with James

368
00:27:21.329 --> 00:27:25.009
Spader. Oh, Yeay, yeah, yeah, good one. That by

369
00:27:25.369 --> 00:27:29.049
also directed by Roland Emeric, yes, who did Independence Day. And yes,

370
00:27:29.970 --> 00:27:32.559
it was a very roll in.
emeric just went downhill from there.

371
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:36.680
Yeah, he but that was a
very good film because it was a kind

372
00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:41.319
of like they were exploring Egyptian kind
of yeah, yeah, yeah, storical

373
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:45.069
alien culture. Yeah, I was
a lot of fun. I used to

374
00:27:45.109 --> 00:27:49.390
really enjoy watching that movie on Saturday
afternoons. Put It on DVD, watch

375
00:27:49.430 --> 00:27:52.269
it. Kurt Russell, wasn't it? Yes, Skirt Russell wasn't it?

376
00:27:52.349 --> 00:27:56.269
It was. It was a fun
movie. You agree, how about you?

377
00:27:56.990 --> 00:28:00.099
Well, okay, so, as
far as far as SCI FI films

378
00:28:00.220 --> 00:28:10.539
go, I think it's specifically aside
from aside from Star Wars. As far

379
00:28:10.579 --> 00:28:15.369
as a SCI FI films go,
I love I love the alien, the

380
00:28:15.490 --> 00:28:21.410
alien films. Okay, that slightly
SCI FI horror. I think it counts

381
00:28:21.410 --> 00:28:27.240
as SCI FI horror. Right.
I really, really, really like shoot.

382
00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:32.799
I forgot it's I forgot the name. I'm blanking. WHO's in it?

383
00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:34.279
What's it about? Tell me,
I'll help you. I'm totally blanking.

384
00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:41.319
I like whatever. Okay, so
battles are Galactica, the expanse,

385
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:45.670
those our TV shows, Scifi TV
shows. I do like seeing. This

386
00:28:45.750 --> 00:28:48.509
is the thing I think. I
this goes back to me liking a lot

387
00:28:48.549 --> 00:28:52.750
of serialized content as a whole.
So, like I never read standalone books.

388
00:28:52.109 --> 00:28:56.140
I love books that have two or
three volumes. You know, I

389
00:28:56.259 --> 00:29:00.700
love franchises, so star wars,
Star Trek, the alien series, the

390
00:29:00.779 --> 00:29:04.539
trilogy, and then when it comes
to the serializes content, the expanse and

391
00:29:04.579 --> 00:29:11.130
Battlestar Galactica, probably two of my
most favorite sci fi shows. I just

392
00:29:11.250 --> 00:29:14.890
started getting into the Star Trek TV
series. So I saw the new one

393
00:29:14.970 --> 00:29:18.730
discovery, but now that you know
that, sir, project Stewart is coming

394
00:29:18.769 --> 00:29:22.369
back, as you'll look. But
Picard, I am a little curious to

395
00:29:22.450 --> 00:29:25.720
go back and kind of try to
see if I can find and watch star

396
00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:27.880
trek the next generation, like a
younger piccard, like a younger pericard,

397
00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:32.720
because apparently I believe they're doing the
Luke skywalker treatment to picard. MM,

398
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:36.640
the last Jedi look skywalker treatment,
because he said it in his thing.

399
00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:40.309
He's like this is in the percard
of old, you know, like this

400
00:29:40.509 --> 00:29:42.910
is a piccard that seen a lot
of things. And twenty years later.

401
00:29:44.069 --> 00:29:48.349
So I'm like, okay, so
you're Luke skywalkering this, this this picard.

402
00:29:48.630 --> 00:29:53.220
Yeah, so that's also very interesting. We're gonna take our second musical

403
00:29:53.299 --> 00:29:57.700
break right now. We have one
more segment to go. Third, third

404
00:29:57.740 --> 00:30:00.900
musical break. I've lost count.
Can we go back in time so I

405
00:30:00.980 --> 00:30:03.740
could fix that? Let's take to
the Lori and and go. Okay,

406
00:30:03.819 --> 00:30:07.730
Dokey, I'll mean in the parking
lot. So we are now in the

407
00:30:07.930 --> 00:30:17.329
final segment of our spotlight episode to
day unforgettable scenes of SCI FI movies.

408
00:30:18.289 --> 00:30:21.640
So many so, so many.
This is so this was so hard,

409
00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:23.359
this was I mean, yeah,
I mean this is why I figured we

410
00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:27.680
would give ourselves a little bit of
time because, let's face it, we

411
00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:34.680
love SCI FI movies, so we've
got around the next twenty minutes to talk

412
00:30:34.750 --> 00:30:37.950
about them. Dig Deep. Yeah, let's see. Let's see if we

413
00:30:38.069 --> 00:30:44.269
have like common ones. Sure,
sure, so, who goes first?

414
00:30:44.390 --> 00:30:47.789
You go first. Okay, I'm
going to cheat, all right, because

415
00:30:47.829 --> 00:30:51.940
the first one isn't exactly a scene. Okay, Morris segment, if the

416
00:30:51.980 --> 00:30:56.619
last segment from back to the future. Okay, probably the last twenty,

417
00:30:56.420 --> 00:31:03.099
twenty five minutes, from the moment
where they go to the High School Dance,

418
00:31:03.339 --> 00:31:06.970
Uh Huh, to when Marty comes
back, comes back. Okay,

419
00:31:07.369 --> 00:31:15.769
everything is within this segment. You
have very funny scene with Marty mcfly and

420
00:31:15.809 --> 00:31:19.440
his mother in the car. HMM. You have a very funny scene when

421
00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:26.160
biff comes and George defends right,
right, righty's mother. You have the

422
00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:29.920
whole dance scene in the Johnny be
good scene where Marty mcfly plays on the

423
00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:34.150
guitar and it's just one of the
most memorable and the ICAL fighting yeah,

424
00:31:34.190 --> 00:31:37.589
and his hand starts to fade because
his parents need to kiss for you have

425
00:31:37.670 --> 00:31:41.430
to watch this movie to understand what
I'm talking yeah, for sure, but

426
00:31:41.910 --> 00:31:44.670
you're so you have that part and
then you have the whole part in the

427
00:31:44.750 --> 00:31:49.220
end where he's trying to tell the
dog that he's gonna die in the future.

428
00:31:49.259 --> 00:31:52.579
He gives him the letter and the
DOC doesn't want the letter. HMM.

429
00:31:52.740 --> 00:31:56.299
And they need to get that liking
bolt on the big clock tower to

430
00:31:56.380 --> 00:32:00.380
hit at exactly, I think,
ten o one or ten O two,

431
00:32:00.380 --> 00:32:04.250
Uh Huh. And and then there's
the plugs which don't go in, and

432
00:32:04.450 --> 00:32:09.329
then it's so stressful. So it's
so well crafted, it's very it's very

433
00:32:09.369 --> 00:32:13.450
intense. HMM. And you just
want to know is the kid gonna go

434
00:32:14.089 --> 00:32:16.160
back to nicely, you've got you
got music, you've got fun, you've

435
00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:22.680
got advantage of get serious suspense.
It's fantastic. It's arguably I've heard many,

436
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:25.720
many, many screenwriters actually say that
back to the future is actually one

437
00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:31.549
of the most concrete screenplays ever written
because of how well the ARC is set

438
00:32:31.589 --> 00:32:36.109
up and and everything along those lines. So yeah, so definitely that.

439
00:32:36.549 --> 00:32:40.069
Those last twenty minutes are just epic
for me, and back to the future

440
00:32:40.150 --> 00:32:45.500
and it every time I watch it. I'm still stressed. I'm Christopher Lloyd

441
00:32:45.579 --> 00:32:49.380
is just a maze, so good. He's so good, and mcfly and

442
00:32:49.619 --> 00:32:53.819
Michael J Fox also, what a
killer performance. Yeah, but Christopher Lloyd,

443
00:32:54.019 --> 00:33:00.410
Yeah, Oh glory, Great Scotts. So I'm going to cheat also

444
00:33:00.450 --> 00:33:02.450
because I also have a final sequence, yeah, that I'm a big fan

445
00:33:02.529 --> 00:33:07.930
of, and it has to be
et. Okay, I think from the

446
00:33:08.009 --> 00:33:14.319
bike chase on traumatic memories, from
the Bat, from the back, you

447
00:33:14.400 --> 00:33:16.519
know, bike chase, all the
way toward the end, with et saying

448
00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:20.319
I'll be right here, and the
swelling of John Williams is music. And

449
00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:23.000
this is sci Fi, man,
this is sci Fi, sci fi,

450
00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:28.349
Scifi. This is a tiered your
crying because an alien is leaving. When

451
00:33:28.470 --> 00:33:32.309
has that ever happened in and a
SCI FI movie? I'll tell you in

452
00:33:32.430 --> 00:33:38.269
one of my other favorite scenes,
because there is another sci fi movie that's

453
00:33:38.430 --> 00:33:43.660
that's made me cry, and that's
not counting the many times I've teared up

454
00:33:43.700 --> 00:33:49.859
in Star Wars. But I think
this final sequence in ets is it's exactly

455
00:33:49.900 --> 00:33:52.539
what we're talking about. It's heart, it's it's adventure, it's hope,

456
00:33:53.819 --> 00:33:58.410
it's, you know, doing what
Yoda is telling us to do, learning

457
00:33:58.450 --> 00:34:02.329
to let go the things that we
love the most and and knowing that they

458
00:34:02.329 --> 00:34:09.559
will always be right here. It's
so layered, it's so epically beautiful and

459
00:34:09.800 --> 00:34:15.800
I cry every single time. Okay, you need a tissue, know.

460
00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:20.519
Are you sure? Yeah, I'm
good. Now. What's but definitely it's

461
00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:22.840
it is a very emotional scene,
as as we talked about, I think

462
00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:27.389
last week or the one before.
HMM. It's a movie that kind of

463
00:34:27.469 --> 00:34:30.469
traumatized behind. Yeah, I know, I know, but I do remember

464
00:34:30.550 --> 00:34:36.190
the seeing the beauty of it when
he they hug each other and the end,

465
00:34:36.429 --> 00:34:39.659
uh, so good, beautiful scene, just so good, so so

466
00:34:39.820 --> 00:34:44.300
that my next scene is a bit
more intense. Okay, and it's the

467
00:34:44.420 --> 00:34:49.619
scene and Independence Day and they blow
up the white own. No, seriously,

468
00:34:49.739 --> 00:34:52.449
this specific shock. MMM, I
think when you watch the movie with

469
00:34:52.610 --> 00:35:00.050
a helicopter running away, flying away
and slightly tilting and then that blue beam

470
00:35:00.130 --> 00:35:04.570
coming on the White House and exploding, very good use of actual practical effects

471
00:35:04.610 --> 00:35:07.719
on CG. It's a miniature set. It's a miniature set, very well

472
00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:12.760
done, and that senior like it's
over a man, the aliens of one.

473
00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:15.960
They destroyed their destroying ever're done.
We're done. So were fined,

474
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:21.510
took and did you know the studio
actually didn't want that scene in the film

475
00:35:21.590 --> 00:35:23.469
because it's the White House, the
White House. Yeah, they did not

476
00:35:23.630 --> 00:35:28.030
want low and behold. Years later, Olympus has fallen, you know,

477
00:35:28.789 --> 00:35:31.590
the whole white how White House down, you know, like. But they

478
00:35:31.710 --> 00:35:36.340
did not want that scene in the
film. And and the director, I

479
00:35:36.420 --> 00:35:42.539
think it's wrong in them, Eric, he argued incessantly for that scene to

480
00:35:42.579 --> 00:35:45.619
be in there and did it anyway. We yeah, they weren't okay with

481
00:35:45.699 --> 00:35:49.059
it, but he did it anyway
and it's in the movie and it's probably

482
00:35:49.099 --> 00:35:52.929
one of the most spoken about scenes
in cinema history. Very memorable or yeah,

483
00:35:52.969 --> 00:35:57.530
you cannot forget that specific scene.
The whole movies a lot of fun.

484
00:35:57.889 --> 00:36:01.010
James Cameron is actually interviewing Roland emeric
about this and he said that he

485
00:36:01.170 --> 00:36:07.440
remembers in the story of science fiction
they actually brought up that scene. He

486
00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:12.679
said he remembers being in the movie
theater and then some guy in the seats

487
00:36:12.719 --> 00:36:15.320
in front of him going we're dead, we're dead, you know, like,

488
00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:17.630
you know, like and it's such
a daunting shot. It's such a

489
00:36:17.949 --> 00:36:21.789
you know, like that's it,
you know, the government has fallen literally.

490
00:36:21.829 --> 00:36:24.590
Yeah, that's that's a pretty epic
scene in a sci Fi film.

491
00:36:24.630 --> 00:36:30.349
Yeah, I think the second scene
I want to talk about on my end

492
00:36:31.590 --> 00:36:40.460
is is has to be for me, it has to be seeing Pandora for

493
00:36:40.539 --> 00:36:45.619
the first time in Avatar. Yeah, I think the moment you you see

494
00:36:45.659 --> 00:36:51.170
it that first time, you're literally
feeling the same thing these characters of feeling

495
00:36:51.170 --> 00:36:53.130
when they see it the first time, when you see those those creatures,

496
00:36:54.409 --> 00:37:00.889
the the natural ambience, the atmosphere, the ecosystem, all of it,

497
00:37:00.929 --> 00:37:09.880
it's crazy how realistic it all felt, how beautiful it all looked. And

498
00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:16.710
again it goes back to that on
inspiring kind of imagination filled places you've always

499
00:37:16.710 --> 00:37:21.630
wanted to be. Yeah, you
know, when you see the the floating

500
00:37:21.670 --> 00:37:27.469
mountains, it's just it's gorgeous.
It's gorgeous to look at, and I

501
00:37:27.590 --> 00:37:30.539
think that, for me, is
something that's completely unforgettable, because the moment

502
00:37:30.579 --> 00:37:34.860
you say Pandora, now you're no
longer thinking of that old music app you're

503
00:37:34.900 --> 00:37:37.539
thinking of the plan and think of
the box. But Yeah, oh,

504
00:37:37.579 --> 00:37:40.619
Pandora's but okay, that's very more
bid. No, but definitely. Yeah,

505
00:37:40.619 --> 00:37:45.929
the greenery and the waterfalls from the
mountains, which, yeah, floating.

506
00:37:45.090 --> 00:37:49.170
That that's just beautiful, and and
the whole wildlife. You Guy.

507
00:37:49.170 --> 00:37:53.329
yess he did, addling exactly exactly
and again creating something from scratch, not

508
00:37:53.489 --> 00:37:58.570
from an existing properties, as always, I think ten times more impressive.

509
00:37:58.599 --> 00:38:02.800
I think it echoes the same thing
you felt in Jurassic Park when the first

510
00:38:02.840 --> 00:38:08.000
time you see the Brachios or it's
that same all filled moment you're just like,

511
00:38:08.239 --> 00:38:12.320
Whoa, this is real, you
know, like it's this awesome,

512
00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:16.269
awesome feeling. Sometimes you get goosebumps
just thinking about it. So that's my

513
00:38:16.429 --> 00:38:21.590
second scene. All right, my
thirteen is probably the most cliche scene.

514
00:38:21.789 --> 00:38:24.869
All right, but it's got to
be darth Vader Luke, the I am

515
00:38:24.909 --> 00:38:29.820
your father seeing. Yeah, yeah, we cannot do the segments and not

516
00:38:29.940 --> 00:38:31.380
talk about this. Yeah, you
can't, you can't. That's very true,

517
00:38:31.539 --> 00:38:36.059
because, hey, it's one of
the biggest plot twists in movie history.

518
00:38:36.099 --> 00:38:39.260
Yeah, be it's done in such
a way where luke is that his

519
00:38:39.460 --> 00:38:44.849
weakest yet. Yeah, he's also
almost done dead. MMM, I think

520
00:38:44.929 --> 00:38:47.250
by that point his hand was dropped
off. Yes, so, Yep,

521
00:38:47.889 --> 00:38:52.449
and those he told me enough and
then yeah, he's like yeah, he

522
00:38:52.530 --> 00:38:55.639
told you, a counoby told me
you killed my father, told me you

523
00:38:55.760 --> 00:38:59.400
killed him. And then Oh,
no, I am your father. I

524
00:38:59.760 --> 00:39:01.079
am besides, not knows, Luke, I am your father. No,

525
00:39:01.360 --> 00:39:04.480
no, it's no, no,
I am your father, Luke, I

526
00:39:04.519 --> 00:39:06.960
am your father's not. Actually,
yeah, have you told me that?

527
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:10.869
We talked about yes, we did, and that that moment where Luke doesn't

528
00:39:10.909 --> 00:39:14.630
believe, he was like no,
no, no, I know, and

529
00:39:14.750 --> 00:39:17.869
he screams yeah, Mark Hamil,
Mark Hamil, and applause goes out to

530
00:39:17.949 --> 00:39:21.869
you, my friend, applause for
for taking a scene that could have been

531
00:39:21.949 --> 00:39:25.340
extremely cheesy and making it the most
gut wrenching, heartbreaking moment in semester.

532
00:39:25.500 --> 00:39:29.420
By the way, I heard,
I'm not sure if this is true or

533
00:39:29.500 --> 00:39:36.179
not, while filming the scene,
the actor playing Darth Vader, David Price,

534
00:39:36.380 --> 00:39:39.809
HMM, Yep, doesn't say.
No, he doesn't. That was

535
00:39:39.889 --> 00:39:43.570
not what was in this green.
The only person, the only person that

536
00:39:43.650 --> 00:39:47.730
knew, aside from George Lucas,
was Mark Hamill, because because they showed

537
00:39:47.730 --> 00:39:52.010
him the line at the day of
and they said you need to react as

538
00:39:52.050 --> 00:39:54.199
if he's saying this, that exact. No one had a clue. No

539
00:39:54.280 --> 00:39:58.360
one had a clue and then the
movie came out and blew everyone away.

540
00:39:58.360 --> 00:40:00.639
Yeah, yeah, I believe that. I believe that Mark Hamill knew.

541
00:40:00.679 --> 00:40:06.440
If I'm not mistaken, I believe
that they told Mark Hamill the day that

542
00:40:06.519 --> 00:40:10.110
they were shooting and then they just
kind of went for it, which is

543
00:40:10.230 --> 00:40:16.190
which is all. Okay, so
my my third scene is actually also in

544
00:40:16.309 --> 00:40:22.940
the Star Wars Universe, but it's
not the Luke I am your father's saying

545
00:40:22.460 --> 00:40:27.099
or the no, I am your
father seen. It would have to be

546
00:40:28.699 --> 00:40:34.980
the anakin versus obiwan fight sequence.
Okay, yes, yes, because it's

547
00:40:35.019 --> 00:40:43.130
just so grandiose. It's so grandiose, it's so operatic, it's so gorgeously

548
00:40:43.210 --> 00:40:47.010
choreographed. It's like the this is
it. This was like the climax of

549
00:40:47.210 --> 00:40:51.480
revenge of the sith. It was
the moment we have. We had been

550
00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:55.280
waiting for since the I am your
father sequence. You know what I mean.

551
00:40:59.760 --> 00:41:05.309
It's so dark, it's heartbreaking and
at the same time you're angry that

552
00:41:05.349 --> 00:41:08.670
this is happening because you don't want
this to happen, because you've basically realized

553
00:41:08.710 --> 00:41:13.630
at this point that Anakin was just
manipulated into becoming darth vader, like this

554
00:41:13.750 --> 00:41:17.900
wasn't necessarily his smart choice, like
it wasn't. He was manipulated, he

555
00:41:19.179 --> 00:41:22.059
wasn't lied to, he was led
into he was tempted by the dark side

556
00:41:23.820 --> 00:41:27.139
of the force. It's weird.
I can't just say the dark side.

557
00:41:27.219 --> 00:41:30.019
I have to say the dark side
of the force, and it's so you

558
00:41:30.099 --> 00:41:32.849
know, and it ends with with
one of you and McGregor, and then

559
00:41:34.650 --> 00:41:37.329
also, I know not a lot
of people are fans of hating Christians in

560
00:41:37.530 --> 00:41:43.289
but that final I hate you at
the end as he's being burned alive.

561
00:41:44.570 --> 00:41:50.639
It's some good drama right there between
him and and and Ewan McGregor. I'm

562
00:41:50.679 --> 00:41:54.360
actually not as critical about Haydn in
revenge of the Sith as I am of

563
00:41:54.519 --> 00:42:00.079
Hayden in clones. Attack of the
clones. I thought Haydn in revenge of

564
00:42:00.119 --> 00:42:07.630
the sith actually really became Anakin.
Somehow he didn't have as many do do

565
00:42:07.829 --> 00:42:12.349
lines as he did in and attack
of the clones. But then also would

566
00:42:12.349 --> 00:42:16.300
up said this kind of before.
The clone wars animated series really readeems the

567
00:42:16.420 --> 00:42:21.420
prequels because you get to see a
lot of the stuff that we weren't able

568
00:42:21.460 --> 00:42:24.300
to see in the movies, which
is how bad the war God, how

569
00:42:24.380 --> 00:42:29.860
many planets hasplanetary system is actually collapsed
because of what was happening. We didn't

570
00:42:29.860 --> 00:42:31.969
get the chance to see that in
three films, unfortunately, but you do

571
00:42:32.130 --> 00:42:37.929
get to see it in in the
clone wars. So I think that scene

572
00:42:37.929 --> 00:42:42.409
in and of itself is just just
so. It's so epic. Yep,

573
00:42:43.250 --> 00:42:46.159
I don't know why. From me, Christensen. A lot of people say

574
00:42:46.159 --> 00:42:49.559
that, but I agree with them. Feels like a Supoke, a little

575
00:42:49.639 --> 00:42:54.559
Brat shouting all the time. I
don't yeah, I mean maybe, maybe

576
00:42:54.639 --> 00:42:58.750
some of the lines didn't help him. Yes, I would. I would

577
00:42:58.750 --> 00:43:01.949
have to say that, yes,
some of the lines didn't help. But

578
00:43:02.070 --> 00:43:06.389
you also have to understand that these
films came out in the two thousands,

579
00:43:06.750 --> 00:43:13.219
so you had angsty teens everywhere.
So you also have to consider that that

580
00:43:13.380 --> 00:43:16.940
Christiansen was robbed from his mom I
mean, not Christious, him, like

581
00:43:17.099 --> 00:43:20.420
Anakin, was robbed away. I'm
not robbed away, but it like he

582
00:43:20.739 --> 00:43:27.139
moved away from his mom. He
was having to deal with an already flawed

583
00:43:27.409 --> 00:43:30.809
system, which is the the the
Jedi order. They were already kind of

584
00:43:31.090 --> 00:43:35.809
starting to do fall apart. So
he was very confused and that's why I

585
00:43:35.849 --> 00:43:38.730
said I like him more in revenge
of the saith than I do in attack

586
00:43:38.769 --> 00:43:42.880
of the clones. Attack of the
clones he was very inksy. The scene

587
00:43:42.920 --> 00:43:45.239
where he, you know, he's
talking about how he killed all the sand

588
00:43:45.320 --> 00:43:49.760
peoples is so terrible. And then
the you know, the I don't like

589
00:43:49.960 --> 00:43:54.199
sand line. That's also that's worse. I don't like sand. It's rough

590
00:43:54.400 --> 00:43:59.230
and course and gets everywhere. It's
terrible, like, who says that?

591
00:44:00.550 --> 00:44:04.070
Then again, it's a big improvement
over you know, media chloreans. What

592
00:44:04.150 --> 00:44:07.949
are Media Chloreans? And then it
got even better for revenge of the said.

593
00:44:07.110 --> 00:44:10.619
So, yeah, progress, if
you want to talk about progress.

594
00:44:10.860 --> 00:44:14.500
Yeah, I mean, but again, you know, when you watch the

595
00:44:14.539 --> 00:44:17.780
clone wars, it really does redeem
Anakin's character. Yeah, and the voice

596
00:44:17.820 --> 00:44:21.619
actor, met Lanter, he's done
a lot as a lot. He's a

597
00:44:21.699 --> 00:44:24.650
known actor. I don't know if
you've heard of the show timeless. It's

598
00:44:24.690 --> 00:44:29.130
a SCI FI show about time travel. Yes, yes, the lead actor

599
00:44:29.210 --> 00:44:30.809
in that. Yeah, the young
lead actor in that. He plays Anakin

600
00:44:30.849 --> 00:44:35.929
Skywalker in the clone wars, yeah, which is coming back for a final

601
00:44:35.969 --> 00:44:40.159
season. Yeah, yeah, do
you have any more? So I have

602
00:44:40.360 --> 00:44:45.360
one more scene. Okay, I
have the scene where and Terminator to when

603
00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:50.639
John Conner is with the Terminator H
and they start to joke around with Yass

604
00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:54.510
a love stub baby and for the
first time in the terminator like Kesieries,

605
00:44:54.590 --> 00:44:58.190
he's Humani. Nice. Yeah,
yeah, big tag, and it's a

606
00:44:58.190 --> 00:45:02.030
very nice touch to like making you
get attached to this character. And it

607
00:45:02.510 --> 00:45:07.500
amplifies in the end when the terminator
goes down in the lava and just does

608
00:45:07.539 --> 00:45:09.780
the thumbs up then comes out.
Yes, it just makes so much more

609
00:45:09.820 --> 00:45:13.980
sand. I actually this is a
scene where I, you know, have

610
00:45:14.059 --> 00:45:16.619
a few tears. Yeah, yeah, I mean, yeah, for sure,

611
00:45:17.780 --> 00:45:22.650
for sure. So, I mean
I think that's that's basically it for

612
00:45:22.889 --> 00:45:25.969
for this week's episode. Did we
do we decide that we're going to do

613
00:45:27.010 --> 00:45:30.929
the recommendations now, or are we
doing the recommendations for are we keeping that

614
00:45:31.010 --> 00:45:35.130
in the news hour? Know that's
news, though, are we? Are

615
00:45:35.130 --> 00:45:37.920
we keeping that in the news hour? Yeah, okay, fair enough.

616
00:45:37.320 --> 00:45:39.559
Cool beans, cool COO, COO, COO, COO, COO, COO.

617
00:45:39.760 --> 00:45:44.280
brokly nine, nine, Brooklyn nine. So really quick I'm gonna say

618
00:45:44.559 --> 00:45:46.519
because I was going to put that
in my recommendation and then, okay,

619
00:45:46.880 --> 00:45:52.789
so one of a final scene for
me. I'm just going to say the

620
00:45:52.829 --> 00:45:54.789
movie, because I really like the
movie. I think it's a little underappreciated,

621
00:45:54.829 --> 00:46:00.630
but I really like it. Is
Super Eight. Yes, I think

622
00:46:00.710 --> 00:46:04.980
super eight is the et for the
newer generation. Yes, and it has

623
00:46:05.059 --> 00:46:07.619
that beautiful final moment as well of
letting go, but this time it's not

624
00:46:07.940 --> 00:46:12.139
yeah right, it's not the alien, it's the necklace floating away to the

625
00:46:12.179 --> 00:46:15.460
Aliens, and that scene kills me. Every single music in the background.

626
00:46:15.500 --> 00:46:21.610
The music is so good, Michael
Giachino, amazing. So this is it

627
00:46:21.889 --> 00:46:27.489
for this episode of script is clean
squeen scream sclerip, the to sclean.

628
