Alien

WEBVTT
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.450
everybody.
00:00:00.450 --> 00:00:04.440
It's onscreen offscreen with Josh Conlin and myself.
00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:12.689
We talk about stuff, um, that we've viewed throughout the week and how our lives affect what we watch and what we watch affects our lives.
00:00:13.169 --> 00:00:22.230
Um, I, I'm, I curious, Conlin, is this the first time you have watched Corpse Bread?
00:00:22.618 --> 00:00:23.458
Yes it is.
00:00:23.579 --> 00:00:25.320
Okay, then I wanna start with that.
00:00:26.818 --> 00:00:28.289
This movie is brilliant.
00:00:29.338 --> 00:00:33.179
so, so I was shocked at how good this movie is.
00:00:33.628 --> 00:00:35.609
Um, I like the music.
00:00:35.698 --> 00:00:41.999
I think the the world that's created is, just so fascinating.
00:00:42.329 --> 00:00:42.598
You.
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:45.478
believe the world that you're involved in.
00:00:45.628 --> 00:00:56.039
This idea of this guy just getting way over his head while was walking through a graveyard, just practicing his speech and then having all this happen, I find hilarious.
00:00:56.128 --> 00:01:04.558
The entire plot is just funny because I was practicing my engagement, I did this.
00:01:05.578 --> 00:01:09.778
walked outside and I literally was saying it out loud and it just made me laugh.
00:01:09.778 --> 00:01:13.918
I was like, that is so brilliant, so simply brilliant.
00:01:14.368 --> 00:01:17.998
Um, it's got some little creepy factors to it.
00:01:18.149 --> 00:01:27.058
I love the, the, the Corpse's bride character and her, her just wanting to, uh, find that love and find that connection.
00:01:28.019 --> 00:01:31.379
Um, I, I thought was really sweet.
00:01:31.558 --> 00:01:34.918
Weirdly enough, in such a creepy movie, there was a lot of sweetness.
00:01:35.099 --> 00:01:40.588
Um, have the, the main character and he.
00:01:41.024 --> 00:01:46.243
Connects more and more with the living as he's going through this journey through death.
00:01:46.933 --> 00:01:53.174
I think a lot of people go through an experience where they kind of fall down to the ground.
00:01:53.174 --> 00:02:00.164
You have your, your moment where you're at your bare bottom, and that's when you clinging to life even harder.
00:02:00.493 --> 00:02:04.634
And this is like an allegory to me of like hitting rock bottom.
00:02:05.623 --> 00:02:09.014
Um, which I, I think is really cool.
00:02:09.493 --> 00:02:11.443
Like I said earlier, the music is good.
00:02:11.443 --> 00:02:13.753
The sound design is fantastic.
00:02:13.903 --> 00:02:16.063
The world is so believable.
00:02:16.304 --> 00:02:17.954
The colors, they pop.
00:02:18.269 --> 00:02:21.313
I, I, this is my kind of fun Halloween movie.
00:02:21.493 --> 00:02:29.294
I've seen Coralline, I've seen one other of these kind of movies and I've seen Nightmare on Christmas, uh, before Christmas.
00:02:29.443 --> 00:02:32.234
This is way better than both of those, in my opinion.
00:02:32.623 --> 00:02:34.783
I like this one significantly more.
00:02:35.054 --> 00:02:36.463
I will continue to watch this.
00:02:36.463 --> 00:02:38.024
This is a movie that I would watch.
00:02:38.489 --> 00:02:40.019
Basically every Halloween.
00:02:40.169 --> 00:02:41.788
I can't think of a reason why I wouldn't.
00:02:42.868 --> 00:02:53.128
uh, uh, maybe my only thing that I don't like about this movie is that the one guy ends up being the, the, the suitor that left her to die.
00:02:53.848 --> 00:02:55.558
was like, eh, that kind of works.
00:02:55.558 --> 00:03:02.218
But I'd rather he just be kind of a normal dude that is just a jackass versus he happens to be the guy.
00:03:03.598 --> 00:03:04.288
That's it.
00:03:04.769 --> 00:03:07.498
Other than that, I really, really like this movie.
00:03:09.299 --> 00:03:13.109
Also, probably a 9.5, like, I really like this movie.
00:03:13.169 --> 00:03:14.473
I have very few problems with it.
00:03:16.169 --> 00:03:17.729
9.3, I'm gonna give him 9.3.
00:03:18.569 --> 00:03:21.810
I think it's interesting because, um.
00:03:22.574 --> 00:03:41.865
That you said that you wished it was just a normal guy because like a huge part of that is because he was trying to marry her for the money and that's what he did with Emily and then all of her money and then was like coming back to find the next new rich chick in town.
00:03:41.865 --> 00:03:42.044
Yeah.
00:03:43.485 --> 00:03:45.284
And so like, it made sense to me.
00:03:45.284 --> 00:03:46.664
I wasn't mad about that.
00:03:47.757 --> 00:03:49.887
I actually thought it was a really good twist
00:03:50.429 --> 00:03:50.508
Hmm.
00:03:51.086 --> 00:03:55.176
cause there was just enough information, but not so much that you saw it coming.
00:03:56.683 --> 00:03:57.614
I did see it coming.
00:03:57.854 --> 00:04:02.653
I was like, this is what most movies would do, is they'd make it that guy and I hope they don't make it that guy.
00:04:04.094 --> 00:04:10.125
well'cause like Emily doesn't get a lot in this movie, but at least she got that like in the end she gotta like up.
00:04:10.574 --> 00:04:12.253
There's some character development there.
00:04:13.004 --> 00:04:13.544
Yeah.
00:04:15.104 --> 00:04:23.654
because I mean, it's, it's so good when like he goes to like stab Victor and he stabs Emily instead, and she like takes it out and like points it at him.
00:04:23.654 --> 00:04:24.850
I'm like, oh, that's so good.
00:04:25.694 --> 00:04:26.113
It is.
00:04:26.113 --> 00:04:26.413
Good.
00:04:27.045 --> 00:04:30.285
Uh, so yeah, I'm not mad at that.
00:04:30.345 --> 00:04:32.685
In fact, I love, I'm with Josh.
00:04:32.685 --> 00:04:33.855
I love that part.
00:04:33.855 --> 00:04:35.714
'cause then you do get the confrontation.
00:04:35.714 --> 00:04:45.045
She does get some closure, um, at the end because like if she didn't get any sort of closure, I would get so mad at that ending.
00:04:48.105 --> 00:04:54.014
Um, yeah, I, yeah, I think she is such a great character because like you said, like
00:04:54.158 --> 00:04:54.399
good.
00:04:55.305 --> 00:05:05.925
the whole time she is like, um, just wants somebody to love and like at the end when she is like, she sees Victoria and she like stops the wedding and she is like.
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:10.949
Um, she's like, this is all I've ever wanted and I've stolen it from somebody else.
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:13.589
And so she like backs it down and I'm like,
00:05:13.663 --> 00:05:14.863
heartbreaking.
00:05:15.029 --> 00:05:18.000
is so sad and so good.
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:24.899
And like when she like erupts into all of those butterflies that started off the movie and then it ends off Oh,
00:05:25.093 --> 00:05:25.634
It's
00:05:27.060 --> 00:05:27.569
Oh yeah.
00:05:28.589 --> 00:05:30.839
That's not how my freaking wedding goes.
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:31.649
I don't want it.
00:05:34.124 --> 00:05:34.783
There's not
00:05:34.954 --> 00:05:35.175
up.
00:05:35.533 --> 00:05:36.613
butterflies.
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:38.550
I don't erupt into butterflies.
00:05:41.009 --> 00:05:41.310
Why?
00:05:41.310 --> 00:05:43.949
Why even, oh yeah.
00:05:43.949 --> 00:05:45.569
I love the corpse bread.
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:47.339
It is.
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:51.930
I, I'm pretty sure I put that on my top 10, right?
00:05:52.019 --> 00:05:53.459
It has to be.
00:05:54.629 --> 00:05:55.230
Um,
00:05:55.274 --> 00:05:55.843
there or not.
00:05:56.233 --> 00:05:58.963
I don't blame you if it is like it is that good of a movie.
00:05:59.699 --> 00:06:00.209
yeah.
00:06:00.269 --> 00:06:01.514
It's very quotable.
00:06:01.514 --> 00:06:03.000
It's very, yeah.
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:03.209
I love it.
00:06:03.584 --> 00:06:06.553
Yeah, the voice work is really good.
00:06:06.704 --> 00:06:13.934
Like e, even among animated movies, I know this is Claymation, but really good.
00:06:14.865 --> 00:06:17.595
Oh yeah, you have like Johnny Depp is Victor.
00:06:17.595 --> 00:06:20.925
You have, uh, Helen Bowman Carter.
00:06:21.194 --> 00:06:25.485
I probably her name, uh, as Emily.
00:06:25.485 --> 00:06:27.764
I can't remember who Victoria is.
00:06:29.024 --> 00:06:34.004
you have, um, oh, who plays, uh, Soman.
00:06:35.535 --> 00:06:37.035
Um, he was the priest.
00:06:37.425 --> 00:06:40.454
Um, yeah.
00:06:40.454 --> 00:06:41.714
You have a lot of,
00:06:41.744 --> 00:06:42.283
That's some
00:06:42.285 --> 00:06:45.884
uh, Yeah, it's really good.
00:06:46.185 --> 00:06:50.595
Anybody who hasn't watched Corpse Bread, please do it.
00:06:50.673 --> 00:06:50.874
it.
00:06:51.764 --> 00:06:53.384
I don't care if it's Halloween or not.
00:06:53.444 --> 00:06:53.714
Go watch it.
00:06:55.769 --> 00:07:01.709
I love when the corpse bride is talking all catty and she's like, she's just alive in stuff.
00:07:01.829 --> 00:07:03.718
It's like not even a big deal.
00:07:04.529 --> 00:07:07.769
She's like, like, what does she have that you don't up pulse.
00:07:07.858 --> 00:07:08.639
a pulse.
00:07:11.634 --> 00:07:12.295
So good.
00:07:12.733 --> 00:07:13.963
It was So good.
00:07:13.963 --> 00:07:18.764
This, and this movie's full of little witty pieces that were really good.
00:07:18.764 --> 00:07:20.293
witty lines.
00:07:20.954 --> 00:07:27.644
I, this is, is one of my favorite movies that you guys have recommended that I haven't seen yet.
00:07:27.704 --> 00:07:29.533
I really, really liked this movie.
00:07:30.295 --> 00:07:32.069
Oh, I love that.
00:07:32.699 --> 00:07:34.139
Um, okay.
00:07:34.139 --> 00:07:39.569
Josh, onto you, I am curious as to know what CC is.
00:07:41.076 --> 00:07:43.387
It is short for completion is Chronicles.
00:07:43.507 --> 00:07:47.437
Um, I've already led on to, I started this series.
00:07:47.766 --> 00:07:51.096
This is books three, well, two and a half.
00:07:51.127 --> 00:07:52.476
Three and four.
00:07:53.076 --> 00:07:53.377
Um.
00:07:54.372 --> 00:07:56.502
The first one is Rexi.
00:07:56.502 --> 00:08:00.221
It's the halfway between two and three book.
00:08:00.281 --> 00:08:06.192
It focuses on a side character named Jackson, who I really wasn't sure about.
00:08:06.372 --> 00:08:18.012
Um, to give you a little bit of background, Lauren, uh, he's a former chiropractor who is, uh, obsessed with perfecting his craft.
00:08:18.341 --> 00:08:25.091
So he walks around talking about stretching people and fixing their back.
00:08:25.271 --> 00:08:27.252
And not in like a normal way.
00:08:27.612 --> 00:08:37.211
It's like picture the creepy kid on the block, uh, who you're not sure if they're a serial killer or not.
00:08:37.211 --> 00:08:39.552
That's how he approaches everything.
00:08:40.121 --> 00:08:40.481
Um.
00:08:40.947 --> 00:08:49.136
So in the first book that he's introduced, it's kind of like, I don't know if he's gonna be the yellow kid from, uh, demon Slayer.
00:08:49.167 --> 00:08:54.386
He's probably just gonna be that guy that I just genuinely like Wish wasn't in the book.
00:08:54.807 --> 00:09:02.517
And this whole book focuses on him going on a side quest to level up and become a better chiropractor.
00:09:03.206 --> 00:09:08.307
Um, and he's just like not completely socially there.
00:09:08.307 --> 00:09:11.636
So he's given a bad charisma score.
00:09:11.697 --> 00:09:16.527
And because of that, when he talks people here gibberish, not necessarily what he's saying.
00:09:17.216 --> 00:09:25.616
Um, and he comes across this girl who's trying to kill him to steal his loot, but then he promises her a spot in their guild.
00:09:25.616 --> 00:09:30.986
And their guild is a top guild, um, because of our normal, main character.
00:09:32.096 --> 00:09:34.736
And so they decide to go on this adventure together.
00:09:35.517 --> 00:09:35.876
Um.
00:09:37.601 --> 00:09:41.682
So far, this is my favorite book in the series.
00:09:41.951 --> 00:09:44.351
Um, I absolutely love Jackson in this.
00:09:44.351 --> 00:09:46.001
They make him very human.
00:09:46.241 --> 00:09:47.951
They make him a little bit relatable.
00:09:48.162 --> 00:09:58.572
His relationship with the girl is fantastic because it always cuts to her point of view and she's like, should I just kill him or should I put up with this any longer?
00:09:58.812 --> 00:10:03.552
Or, okay, I'll go with him, but then I'll steal his loot and then kill him.
00:10:03.552 --> 00:10:08.951
And like, she never really fully believes him with anything.
00:10:08.951 --> 00:10:10.511
She's always very skeptical.
00:10:10.751 --> 00:10:21.581
And by the end of this book, she comes across these o this other people with, um, and Jackson is talking to him and they're getting really freaked out and scared.
00:10:21.581 --> 00:10:23.231
'cause they're like, what is he gonna do to me?
00:10:23.231 --> 00:10:23.591
This is.
00:10:23.591 --> 00:10:24.162
horrifying.
00:10:24.552 --> 00:10:26.922
And she's just like, oh yeah, you get used to it.
00:10:28.182 --> 00:10:31.631
And then in the next book, they actually start talking about it.
00:10:31.692 --> 00:10:34.511
And she, he's like, she gets asked how.
00:10:36.731 --> 00:10:43.721
Uh, Jackson survived this whole ordeal, and she's just like, well, there were a few times it came close and he was like, what?
00:10:44.322 --> 00:10:45.522
You are gonna kill me?
00:10:47.022 --> 00:10:47.412
Um.
00:10:47.951 --> 00:10:49.121
it's very, very funny.
00:10:49.182 --> 00:10:57.912
And the big power up he gets is he gets the ability to turn his hands into T-Rex Sands and he just falls in love with disabilities.
00:10:57.912 --> 00:11:00.881
He's like, I, no, I got re hands, bro.
00:11:02.261 --> 00:11:04.032
And just has a great time with it.
00:11:04.331 --> 00:11:14.711
Um, it very much starts to give the vibes of like an Old man who somehow gets a youth body again and is just like, I get to play with toys again.
00:11:15.072 --> 00:11:17.802
And it's so charming and cute.
00:11:17.861 --> 00:11:18.761
I absolutely love it.
00:11:18.761 --> 00:11:22.182
So yeah, for this one, Rexi, I'm giving an 8.6 out of 10.
00:11:22.182 --> 00:11:25.121
It is my favorite of the series so far.
00:11:28.095 --> 00:11:32.294
It is just funny when you're mentioning like the chiropractor bit.
00:11:32.534 --> 00:11:36.794
Um, I remember I told somebody, I was like, I really need a chiropractor.
00:11:36.794 --> 00:11:41.264
And he's like, I know a guy except he's really old and you have to go down to his basement.
00:11:41.264 --> 00:11:42.044
And I'm like, no, thank you.
00:11:45.731 --> 00:11:47.677
Very relatable to this character.
00:11:48.193 --> 00:11:49.573
For sure
00:11:50.246 --> 00:11:50.537
Yeah.
00:11:50.744 --> 00:11:52.514
that is Jackson to a t.
00:11:54.090 --> 00:11:54.379
Okay.
00:11:55.154 --> 00:11:55.544
right.
00:11:55.544 --> 00:11:57.615
Let's skip back to you, Conlin.
00:11:57.615 --> 00:12:00.860
You have, uh, th Okay, two more.
00:12:00.870 --> 00:12:01.220
Right,
00:12:02.293 --> 00:12:02.683
Yeah.
00:12:03.134 --> 00:12:07.844
Um, I have been blessed with some very good horror movies.
00:12:08.323 --> 00:12:12.524
The exorcism of Emily Rose is great.
00:12:12.884 --> 00:12:13.994
It's just a great movie.
00:12:14.443 --> 00:12:19.844
So in the 1970s, there was a girl, I can't remember her name Right, now.
00:12:19.844 --> 00:12:20.474
One second.
00:12:30.129 --> 00:12:30.690
Annalise.
00:12:32.443 --> 00:12:33.793
Yeah, I think that's what her name was.
00:12:33.793 --> 00:12:34.094
Yes.
00:12:34.094 --> 00:12:34.663
Annalise.
00:12:34.903 --> 00:12:36.014
And it's based on a true story.
00:12:36.703 --> 00:12:49.033
So Annalise is, the church thinks that she is possessed, the courts think that she is just schizophrenic.
00:12:49.844 --> 00:12:53.803
And so they actually have a real court case after she dies because they.
00:12:54.734 --> 00:13:12.943
They accuse the pope, the Pope, uh, not the pope, the head of the church, the head of the Catholic church in the area of causing Emily's death because they stopped psychological treatment trying to cure her of an exorcism.
00:13:14.083 --> 00:13:22.514
And in the movie you are dealing with more of a haunted thing, like you're watching Emily go through an exorcism, but you're bouncing back to this court case.
00:13:22.844 --> 00:13:38.833
And the court case is one side trying to prove that the church was wrong in what they were doing they, she should have got psychiatric help and the church trying to say, no, is absolutely possible that she was possessed.
00:13:39.104 --> 00:13:42.283
It's not that this happened.
00:13:42.673 --> 00:13:46.783
And if it's not impossible, the church is not held accountable for.
00:13:47.083 --> 00:13:47.833
For her murder.
00:13:48.644 --> 00:13:58.094
And so you have this really interesting dichotomy between a traditional horn movie where you're watching Emily Rose go through an exorcism and a courtroom drama.
00:13:58.573 --> 00:13:59.774
And the courtroom drama.
00:14:00.913 --> 00:14:01.124
There.
00:14:01.153 --> 00:14:05.144
There's, there's very few movies that I think are good courtroom dramas.
00:14:05.354 --> 00:14:06.673
They're not very common.
00:14:07.724 --> 00:14:13.244
This would make it on my list of one of the better courtroom dramas, and it's a horror movie.
00:14:13.573 --> 00:14:14.413
That's crazy.
00:14:15.494 --> 00:14:23.173
And then the, the horror aspect of it, the exorcism aspect of it, is not as horrifying as some other possession movies.
00:14:23.984 --> 00:14:32.653
not quite as good, but it is good, like it's a solid, a solid, um, of the genre.
00:14:34.094 --> 00:14:42.134
So you have these two, two genres that are not, you would never think they would blend together really well based on a true story.
00:14:42.464 --> 00:14:48.073
And they're both done well in my opinion, because they're done together so well.
00:14:48.073 --> 00:14:51.823
It makes the movie more interesting and makes me wanna watch it more.
00:14:52.004 --> 00:14:53.833
It makes me more invested.
00:14:54.283 --> 00:14:59.864
And, uh, it left me with like an eight, 8.2, just'cause it was so interesting.
00:15:00.583 --> 00:15:02.323
there's another movie called Requiem.
00:15:02.594 --> 00:15:03.614
It's a German film.
00:15:03.614 --> 00:15:12.884
You have to read it, uh, do the subtitles, but it's more of a view of this, of this scenario.
00:15:13.183 --> 00:15:16.333
So you're not dealing with as much of the exorcism aspects.
00:15:16.514 --> 00:15:20.953
You're dealing with the court case and you're dealing with the psychological profiling of what is going on.
00:15:21.134 --> 00:15:23.144
And I'm very, very interested in that movie.
00:15:23.144 --> 00:15:24.464
I just haven't watched it yet.
00:15:24.928 --> 00:15:30.479
E Rose is a, if you like, horror movies, it is just something I would recommend watching.
00:15:30.568 --> 00:15:31.558
It's just good.
00:15:31.828 --> 00:15:35.129
It's not so horrifying and gross that you're not gonna have a good time with it.
00:15:35.548 --> 00:15:36.778
It's just good.
00:15:38.490 --> 00:15:44.970
Yeah, it's interesting'cause I've listened to a lot of podcasts about Annaly Mitchell or Yeah.
00:15:45.299 --> 00:15:49.379
Uh, which is what, uh, based on.
00:15:49.379 --> 00:15:49.950
Right.
00:15:50.219 --> 00:15:50.548
Yeah.
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:54.000
Um, that's, yeah, that's very interesting.
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:58.110
Like you say, the court case going back and forth in between those two.
00:15:58.590 --> 00:16:08.009
Um,'cause is that a, don't know that I've ever heard about, like the court case happening Annalise.
00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:08.820
Is that,
00:16:11.068 --> 00:16:11.399
Yeah.
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:12.688
It's a, it's a real thing.
00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:13.200
huh?
00:16:13.979 --> 00:16:20.489
there's people who don't like the court case because they felt like it was putting.
00:16:21.509 --> 00:16:26.908
It, it was getting the church off like they do genuinely feel like it was the church's fault.
00:16:27.538 --> 00:16:34.889
I think one of the interesting aspects of the movie is what do you think were, is the church more held accountable?
00:16:34.889 --> 00:16:41.129
Should they be more held accountable, or is it that maybe she was possessed?
00:16:41.129 --> 00:16:43.168
Like what's your religious take on things?
00:16:43.379 --> 00:16:48.058
There's a lot of different nuances to the movie because where are, where do you fall?
00:16:49.528 --> 00:16:50.938
Like where, where are you?
00:16:50.999 --> 00:16:52.078
It's, it's, it's interesting.
00:16:52.575 --> 00:16:59.715
Yeah, it's, it's interesting'cause I know that there's another case that happened like this, but it was like somewhere in Korea, I believe.
00:16:59.715 --> 00:17:06.825
And it was like the family believed that, um, like they needed to eat their own like feces and stuff to like.
00:17:08.234 --> 00:17:11.625
Flush out the demons, and so they ended up dying and things like that.
00:17:11.625 --> 00:17:18.105
So I can see where people are worried, um, mental health isn't being checked because of that.
00:17:18.555 --> 00:17:34.394
So that is an interesting, um, an interesting thing, I, I do say I don't like horror, watching horror, but I do think that it is an interesting medium to explore, um, how people explore things.
00:17:34.694 --> 00:17:38.595
Um, I don't like watching horror.
00:17:38.595 --> 00:17:53.384
I do understand how people can get, uh, or like how these messages are spread, um, which is, I think good and if that works for you, I think that's nice to have a little, like you think about things.
00:17:53.384 --> 00:17:53.865
Right.
00:17:55.934 --> 00:18:04.019
yeah, very interesting because like the story of it me, but I just, oh, yeah.
00:18:04.394 --> 00:18:05.115
Visuals, I don't.
00:18:07.013 --> 00:18:08.108
The possession.
00:18:09.009 --> 00:18:11.078
one part that's pretty horrifying, but it's.
00:18:11.894 --> 00:18:14.894
As far as possession movies, it's not the scariest.
00:18:15.193 --> 00:18:20.354
I think you probably could watch it, but it does have possession, so you are gonna have that problem.
00:18:20.473 --> 00:18:23.413
Maybe you have like a Bible next to you after you could read the passages.
00:18:23.413 --> 00:18:24.163
I don't know.
00:18:25.019 --> 00:18:28.289
I need a priest with me giving me an exorcism while I,
00:18:28.453 --> 00:18:31.844
while you're watching the movie the entire time, that like Blessed Data,
00:18:32.789 --> 00:18:38.220
because this is a a thousand percent, you will be just getting call back to another episode.
00:18:40.874 --> 00:18:43.364
this movie is just, it's just so interesting.
00:18:43.364 --> 00:18:45.013
I would recommend it to both of you.
00:18:45.013 --> 00:18:46.273
It there's,
00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:46.680
Yeah.
00:18:46.814 --> 00:18:48.614
never seen anything like this movie, ever.
00:18:49.380 --> 00:18:50.609
like, I won't watch it.
00:18:50.609 --> 00:18:53.609
But people who like horror I think should watch it.
00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:54.900
I think it's interesting.
00:18:55.950 --> 00:18:57.720
Um, all right.
00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:02.369
And then Josh are yours, all separate topics with
00:19:02.592 --> 00:19:03.971
They're separate books.
00:19:04.061 --> 00:19:05.801
We can do it in one if you want.
00:19:06.315 --> 00:19:09.914
I was gonna just keep ping ponging back you two,
00:19:10.362 --> 00:19:10.662
Okay.
00:19:11.144 --> 00:19:14.505
but I didn't know if you had already like addressed those ones yet.
00:19:15.041 --> 00:19:15.311
No.
00:19:15.315 --> 00:19:17.115
I was like, okay, cool.
00:19:17.622 --> 00:19:20.082
the next book in the series is called Raise.
00:19:20.082 --> 00:19:21.882
It's the next whole book.
00:19:21.882 --> 00:19:28.241
So we jump back to our main character, Joe, uh, Joe takes on the girl that, um.
00:19:28.946 --> 00:19:34.497
Jackson brings back and she is basically good at everything Joe sucks at.
00:19:34.497 --> 00:19:40.767
So, uh, she like completes the team and makes it all kind of come together and start working.
00:19:41.277 --> 00:19:46.737
Uh, Joe is a ritualist, so he's starting to actually figure out how that kind of stuff starts coming together.
00:19:47.186 --> 00:19:54.356
Um, the series takes a big left turn.
00:19:54.656 --> 00:19:57.537
Um, I don't know what to think about it.
00:19:57.537 --> 00:19:59.876
I already let Conlin in on this a little bit.
00:20:00.297 --> 00:20:09.747
Um, basically President Elon Musk says, uh, get into this game, ditch your body, or you're all gonna die.
00:20:09.747 --> 00:20:11.396
And then vanishes.
00:20:11.846 --> 00:20:17.396
And then aliens or monsters start coming out of the ocean.
00:20:17.396 --> 00:20:23.096
And so the world gets flooded with all of these people who aren't necessarily into video games.
00:20:23.757 --> 00:20:24.207
Um.
00:20:26.442 --> 00:20:28.991
And I'm not really sure what to think about that.
00:20:29.051 --> 00:20:32.412
'cause that's literally all I know about it at this point.
00:20:32.622 --> 00:20:40.031
Um, I, I've let Kala know, I'm starting to get concerned about a lot of buildup with zero payoff in this series.
00:20:40.781 --> 00:20:47.382
Uh,'cause originally in the very first book, uh, Joe is a vet, um, an army vet.
00:20:47.801 --> 00:21:03.251
He just comes back from war, has big PTSD, wakes up from a coma to find out he has no legs and is approached by this video game company who says, Hey, you can have legs again in this game.
00:21:04.392 --> 00:21:06.731
And the guy pitching it is one of his army buddies.
00:21:07.422 --> 00:21:21.912
And it leads up to the him agreeing and his buddy saying, Hey, I shouldn't tell you this, but there's a possibility that even though you're giving up your body, you may be able to exit the game again.
00:21:23.517 --> 00:21:34.737
And so I was really excited about how this whole dynamic about a company preying on a guy at his absolute most vulnerable'cause.
00:21:34.737 --> 00:21:44.936
Like he had just woken up from a, a coma and literally nothing has happened with that.
00:21:45.896 --> 00:21:49.916
He hasn't even said one time how grateful he is for legs.
00:21:52.017 --> 00:21:57.416
Like this is just his new life now and everything before doesn't really seem to matter.
00:21:58.017 --> 00:22:09.656
Um, and the only carryover effect that I've seen so far is the game is flooded with all of these new people and there aren't enough resources to go around for all of them.
00:22:10.076 --> 00:22:10.557
That's it.
00:22:10.557 --> 00:22:16.287
So it's not really going the direction I was hoping for.
00:22:18.311 --> 00:22:20.501
I am concerned that there's no payoff.
00:22:20.501 --> 00:22:27.521
'cause each individual book is great standalone content, but there isn't a whole lot of carryover.
00:22:27.731 --> 00:22:32.531
There isn't a whole lot of development over multiple books, between characters.
00:22:34.152 --> 00:22:34.781
So far.
00:22:34.781 --> 00:22:44.741
It's just kind of like, I really liked this book and I really liked this book, but right now there's no connection other than they're the same characters.
00:22:45.372 --> 00:22:49.662
Um, so this one did drop it down for me a little bit.
00:22:49.662 --> 00:22:52.061
I'm giving this book an 8.1 out of 10.
00:22:52.092 --> 00:22:53.172
Still fantastic.
00:22:53.172 --> 00:22:53.862
Still super interesting.
00:22:55.001 --> 00:23:00.491
I really like that they have to deal with this concept of a bunch of people who are not gamers coming in.
00:23:00.731 --> 00:23:10.001
One of them is Joe's mother, and Joe's mother starts dating an a non playable character who is the sheriff of this town.
00:23:10.301 --> 00:23:11.832
And he kind of has to deal with that.
00:23:11.832 --> 00:23:14.471
Like, it's very funny, it's very interesting dynamic.
00:23:15.011 --> 00:23:15.672
But uh.
00:23:16.991 --> 00:23:19.346
It's growing concerns in the series.
00:23:19.346 --> 00:23:20.666
is where I'm at with this one.
00:23:20.666 --> 00:23:23.636
So, uh, it did drop it just a little bit.
00:23:23.636 --> 00:23:24.446
It's still enjoyable.
00:23:24.446 --> 00:23:32.336
I would still recommend it, um, but not quite as high as the previous books.
00:23:32.366 --> 00:23:38.366
And the one that's rated the lowest, the one all about Jackson has been my favorite so far.
00:23:38.366 --> 00:23:38.666
Still.
00:23:39.763 --> 00:23:41.459
It's one of my favorite in the series two.
00:23:42.598 --> 00:23:44.219
I think it's actually super underrated.
00:23:44.219 --> 00:23:47.578
Fans of the series often skip it and I think it's a mistake.
00:23:48.027 --> 00:23:49.946
Yeah, it's, it's the best one.
00:23:49.946 --> 00:23:58.826
It's the most fun, uh, and it gives the most character development that actually plays a part into the, the later stories.
00:23:59.247 --> 00:24:01.737
For example, Lauren, this is something you would love.
00:24:01.797 --> 00:24:04.376
He makes friends with the dog people.
00:24:05.128 --> 00:24:05.608
Yeah,
00:24:06.116 --> 00:24:15.057
The previous book was all about how they massacred the dog, dog people, but he becomes friends with the dog people and starts to learn to talk to them and like.
00:24:15.642 --> 00:24:28.122
Showing your teeth is a threat, so he has to like focus on not smiling as much, and they start to praise him as basically a God because he makes them be able to stand up straight because he is a chiropractor.
00:24:28.122 --> 00:24:28.961
It's so funny.
00:24:28.961 --> 00:24:29.862
It's so good.
00:24:30.007 --> 00:24:30.297
Yeah.
00:24:31.605 --> 00:24:32.224
That's funny.
00:24:32.707 --> 00:24:32.997
Yeah.
00:24:34.545 --> 00:24:35.190
I like that.
00:24:35.866 --> 00:24:36.086
Oh,
00:24:36.659 --> 00:24:37.378
It's really good.
00:24:37.747 --> 00:24:38.326
that's good.
00:24:38.717 --> 00:24:39.207
very good
00:24:39.900 --> 00:24:48.390
Uh, it, yeah, when you said like, dog people, I just, it reminds me of, um, dungeon Carl or Carl, the dog lady.
00:24:48.450 --> 00:24:51.420
Uh, I remember her name.
00:24:51.420 --> 00:24:52.349
I loved her name.
00:24:52.740 --> 00:24:53.819
Oh, Del Gore.
00:24:54.396 --> 00:24:54.686
Okay.
00:24:55.769 --> 00:24:56.339
yeah.
00:24:56.490 --> 00:24:56.880
Anyway,
00:24:56.906 --> 00:24:57.326
Mm-hmm.
00:24:57.809 --> 00:25:00.089
um, all right.
00:25:00.180 --> 00:25:06.299
Uh, I'm scared to see what you're gonna say.
00:25:06.329 --> 00:25:11.549
Conlan about Taylor Swift's new album.
00:25:11.549 --> 00:25:14.069
Are we going to get canceled by Swifty?
00:25:16.574 --> 00:25:27.463
So, um, a while ago Josh watched of my favorite things was like, what is something that I could do for Lauren that would be cool?
00:25:27.554 --> 00:25:29.054
And I know she likes Taylor Swift.
00:25:29.804 --> 00:25:30.854
And so I was
00:25:31.049 --> 00:25:31.750
To listen to.
00:25:32.413 --> 00:25:33.193
you know what?
00:25:33.193 --> 00:25:33.884
I'm gonna.
00:25:34.828 --> 00:25:36.689
to this entire new album.
00:25:36.689 --> 00:25:38.038
I'm actually gonna like pay attention.
00:25:38.038 --> 00:25:39.568
I'm really gonna listen To it.
00:25:40.378 --> 00:25:40.679
listen to.
00:25:40.679 --> 00:25:41.969
the music, everything.
00:25:43.019 --> 00:25:45.479
And Lauren, this album's really good.
00:25:46.420 --> 00:25:47.684
I don't like this album.
00:25:47.684 --> 00:25:48.525
It's not for me.
00:25:48.825 --> 00:25:50.204
I do think it is.
00:25:51.659 --> 00:25:53.503
because I was actually impressed.
00:25:53.503 --> 00:25:54.808
Why don't it?
00:25:55.769 --> 00:25:56.038
makes me sad.
00:25:56.384 --> 00:25:57.015
I'll tell you.
00:25:57.015 --> 00:26:09.855
I like, uh, Alite, the first three Alite, Elizabeth Taylor, and, um, it's her biggest hit off of that one.
00:26:09.855 --> 00:26:11.444
Why can't I think of what it's called?
00:26:11.548 --> 00:26:12.328
Felia.
00:26:12.674 --> 00:26:14.025
Um, oh, Fado Ophelia.
00:26:14.025 --> 00:26:14.444
Yeah.
00:26:14.788 --> 00:26:16.348
I love that song.
00:26:16.605 --> 00:26:17.115
yeah.
00:26:18.209 --> 00:26:19.919
Think that song is great.
00:26:20.384 --> 00:26:20.805
Yeah.
00:26:21.105 --> 00:26:27.615
So those are the three that like, I really like, I listen to the entire album maybe three times.
00:26:27.674 --> 00:26:42.285
Uh, I would usually skip wood, um, father figure, like I can see these songs are meant for some people and it's not for me, but I don't think that that makes it bad.
00:26:42.974 --> 00:26:46.184
Um, yeah, so the,
00:26:46.332 --> 00:26:46.971
I disagree.
00:26:49.214 --> 00:26:52.065
I think the first three I really like and are really good.
00:26:52.365 --> 00:26:58.335
Um, the rest of the album I don't think is, for me, I don't think it was meant for me, it was meant for somebody else.
00:26:58.515 --> 00:27:01.394
Um, and I don't think that that's a bad thing.
00:27:02.614 --> 00:27:03.044
Dang.
00:27:03.194 --> 00:27:04.664
sorry I cut you off.
00:27:05.144 --> 00:27:06.104
It's all good.
00:27:06.104 --> 00:27:07.364
I'm just a little sad.
00:27:08.354 --> 00:27:12.433
I'm just a little sad because I finally, I was, well, I was like, oh, I like that.
00:27:12.554 --> 00:27:13.489
So I'm looking at him right now.
00:27:14.983 --> 00:27:17.743
Uh, I think fate of affiliate is legitimately just a great song.
00:27:18.164 --> 00:27:18.585
Mm-hmm.
00:27:18.614 --> 00:27:21.493
Elizabeth Taylor, I thought was really good eldest daughter.
00:27:21.493 --> 00:27:23.203
I was surprised at how much I liked that song.
00:27:23.653 --> 00:27:24.644
Wishlist.
00:27:24.733 --> 00:27:27.163
I really like, I really liked that song.
00:27:29.233 --> 00:27:33.193
And then, uh, honey, I liked Honey.
00:27:33.199 --> 00:27:42.163
Like I, I thought this was a surprisingly good album and it made me go and listen to the last two albums of hers again.
00:27:42.584 --> 00:27:46.693
I like this one better than both of those, especially the one before this I didn't like.
00:27:46.963 --> 00:27:48.163
I don't think that one's good.
00:27:48.163 --> 00:27:49.213
I don't like any of the songs.
00:27:49.380 --> 00:27:50.670
Tortured poets department,
00:27:51.013 --> 00:27:52.544
Yeah, I do not like that song album.
00:27:52.740 --> 00:27:58.410
and then you listen to, um, oh my gosh, why can't, it's my favorite.
00:27:59.864 --> 00:28:01.124
Yeah, that one, it was good.
00:28:01.124 --> 00:28:02.624
The one before that, whatever it's called.
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:05.549
There's evermore and then,
00:28:06.223 --> 00:28:06.673
Let's
00:28:06.900 --> 00:28:08.369
oh, midnights.
00:28:09.089 --> 00:28:09.779
Um,
00:28:09.854 --> 00:28:10.663
probably what it was.
00:28:10.663 --> 00:28:10.814
I can't
00:28:10.980 --> 00:28:12.180
yeah, midnights.
00:28:12.539 --> 00:28:13.890
There's evermore.
00:28:14.970 --> 00:28:17.430
There's the one in between evermore midnights.
00:28:17.430 --> 00:28:18.450
That's my favorite.
00:28:20.608 --> 00:28:23.278
I will see which one it was that I listened to.
00:28:28.108 --> 00:28:33.179
It was midnights, the one I listened to, and midnights was pretty good.
00:28:33.538 --> 00:28:34.588
I like this one better than that one.
00:28:35.855 --> 00:28:36.144
Yeah.
00:28:36.424 --> 00:28:38.640
I really like, I like lover.
00:28:38.730 --> 00:28:41.009
I like 1989.
00:28:41.819 --> 00:28:43.799
I like folklore.
00:28:44.490 --> 00:28:46.049
really like folklore.
00:28:46.740 --> 00:28:53.519
Um, speak now are some of my favorites, and I like midnights.
00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:53.849
Okay.
00:28:54.749 --> 00:28:56.278
Yeah, I, putting it pretty well.
00:28:57.239 --> 00:28:59.939
this one was easily better than both of those in my opinion.
00:29:00.058 --> 00:29:01.288
I'm sorry you didn't like it as much.
00:29:01.288 --> 00:29:02.249
Like that's just,
00:29:03.025 --> 00:29:03.464
I, I,
00:29:03.598 --> 00:29:08.159
was so excited for us to be on the same page and be like, yeah, Lord, I, loved it.
00:29:10.170 --> 00:29:10.619
nope,
00:29:11.699 --> 00:29:12.298
Ah,
00:29:12.325 --> 00:29:12.525
just.
00:29:12.689 --> 00:29:13.798
sad.
00:29:13.934 --> 00:29:17.265
Like, I feel like some of these songs are very niche.
00:29:19.125 --> 00:29:21.944
and so it's like, oh yeah, like canceled or whatever.
00:29:21.944 --> 00:29:25.575
I'm like, I think they're like, if I don't listen to the lyrics, I think they're bops.
00:29:25.964 --> 00:29:35.025
Um, but like if I listen to the lyrics and stuff, I'm like, I'm not into like seeing who hates who.
00:29:35.414 --> 00:29:38.085
Um, really care.
00:29:38.414 --> 00:29:48.704
Uh, I think there was one song that I thought was funny, in actually romantic.
00:29:48.974 --> 00:29:59.204
Like once I started hearing the things behind what everybody thinks that actually romantic is about, I was like, oh, that ruined the song for me.
00:29:59.684 --> 00:30:08.295
Um, but if I just heard this song and there was no lore behind it, I would've been like, ah, I think this, this song is kind of funny and I like it.
00:30:11.444 --> 00:30:12.105
yeah, the.
00:30:14.924 --> 00:30:16.005
Ruin the friendship.
00:30:16.005 --> 00:30:26.505
Also had more lore stuff that I was like, I'm not a lore swifty, so I don't really understand the lyrics of this.
00:30:26.954 --> 00:30:28.634
Um, but yeah.
00:30:28.814 --> 00:30:30.854
favorite song on the album
00:30:31.904 --> 00:30:36.525
Um, what is my least favorite surprise?
00:30:37.423 --> 00:30:39.913
is my least favorite.
00:30:40.335 --> 00:30:48.404
Um, yeah, I think canceled is a bop but like, then when, once again, when people start like speculating, what's the lore behind it?
00:30:48.404 --> 00:30:50.025
I, it like ruins it for me.
00:30:52.184 --> 00:30:59.954
honey I think was nice, but yeah, I think the ones that I'll like listen on repeat are fate of Ophelia Elizabeth Taylor and Alite.
00:31:01.798 --> 00:31:02.338
That's fair.
00:31:02.744 --> 00:31:04.214
yeah, mean, like.
00:31:04.318 --> 00:31:08.249
watch the video, music video for Fate of Oph?
00:31:10.289 --> 00:31:13.710
I have actually not seen it all the way through.
00:31:13.769 --> 00:31:15.839
I've just seen bits and pieces.
00:31:16.019 --> 00:31:16.769
Um,
00:31:17.578 --> 00:31:18.328
crazy good.
00:31:19.650 --> 00:31:23.039
I've seen things that like people, yeah, it looks really good.
00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:25.619
I want to actually watch it all the way through.
00:31:26.099 --> 00:31:28.799
Um,'cause yeah, the things that I have seen are really good.
00:31:30.719 --> 00:31:33.449
I even watched the music videos for the whole dang thing.
00:31:34.169 --> 00:31:34.318
Oh
00:31:34.470 --> 00:31:35.519
Did you go to the theater?
00:31:35.609 --> 00:31:35.880
Just kidding.
00:31:36.898 --> 00:31:38.009
I didn't know it was in the theater.
00:31:38.009 --> 00:31:38.999
Was it in the theater?
00:31:39.450 --> 00:31:40.109
Yeah, they, uh,
00:31:40.138 --> 00:31:40.888
wild.
00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:44.099
yeah, they had a theater showing, but they had it.
00:31:46.980 --> 00:31:48.150
what's pg?
00:31:48.450 --> 00:31:52.200
So like, and honestly clean versions.
00:31:52.230 --> 00:31:57.240
And if I listen to the clean version of this, I think I would like it a lot more.
00:31:57.509 --> 00:32:03.599
So like in wood, instead of like thighs, it says skies, um, and things like that.
00:32:03.944 --> 00:32:07.724
That I'm like, wish that was the actual version.
00:32:07.755 --> 00:32:10.065
'cause I actually like that a lot better.
00:32:10.394 --> 00:32:11.124
It's more lyrical.
00:32:12.615 --> 00:32:22.785
Yeah, because I'm trying to think of what the other one was that they, she switched it and I was like, oh, that's actually quite lovely.
00:32:23.824 --> 00:32:24.243
Lovely.
00:32:25.275 --> 00:32:25.755
yeah.
00:32:27.194 --> 00:32:28.065
All right.
00:32:29.027 --> 00:32:29.317
Well,
00:32:29.444 --> 00:32:31.244
uh, what
00:32:31.541 --> 00:32:43.031
to say I was really looking forward to this because I knew ahead of time that Laura did like it and Conlin told me he is like, I'm so excited.
00:32:43.092 --> 00:32:45.701
I listened to Taylor Swift for Laura.
00:32:45.701 --> 00:32:46.632
It is gonna be great.
00:32:46.692 --> 00:32:47.261
And I was,
00:32:48.250 --> 00:32:48.910
to listen to.
00:32:50.471 --> 00:32:51.882
see this collide.
00:32:52.739 --> 00:32:54.298
I, was so excited.
00:32:54.298 --> 00:32:56.278
I, I'm a little, I'm a little sad, Lauren.
00:32:56.278 --> 00:32:56.969
I'm not gonna lie.
00:32:56.999 --> 00:32:59.909
I'm a little, I would, I've been excited about this for weeks.
00:33:03.690 --> 00:33:07.529
Josh, you shoulda been like known what was my favorite album.
00:33:07.529 --> 00:33:08.519
And him listen to that,
00:33:09.416 --> 00:33:10.767
But that's not as fun.
00:33:13.376 --> 00:33:15.086
I wasn't here to be helpful.
00:33:15.086 --> 00:33:17.967
I was here to increase the chaos.
00:33:18.926 --> 00:33:19.257
Yeah,
00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:23.970
just swivel in his chair, slowly petting something.
00:33:24.852 --> 00:33:25.342
exactly.
00:33:25.648 --> 00:33:27.509
one is your favorite?
00:33:27.509 --> 00:33:28.709
I will listen to your favorite.
00:33:29.505 --> 00:33:31.109
Um, folklore.
00:33:31.409 --> 00:33:32.128
Booklo is your favorite.
00:33:32.128 --> 00:33:32.429
Okay.
00:33:32.519 --> 00:33:32.788
I'm listen
00:33:32.789 --> 00:33:33.119
Mm-hmm.
00:33:35.789 --> 00:33:37.319
Let me double check.
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:41.910
'cause sometimes evermore I'm pretty sure it's folklore.
00:33:42.269 --> 00:33:47.670
'cause I kind of, I kind, that's why I would say I'm, I'm double checking.
00:33:50.819 --> 00:33:51.390
Yeah.
00:33:51.509 --> 00:33:51.750
It's
00:33:52.919 --> 00:33:53.368
Okay,
00:33:54.569 --> 00:33:55.619
Be prepared to be sad.
00:33:57.239 --> 00:33:57.868
nice.
00:33:58.019 --> 00:33:59.489
That's my favorite activity.
00:34:01.160 --> 00:34:02.660
That's what I always wanted.
00:34:05.410 --> 00:34:05.900
Alright.
00:34:06.028 --> 00:34:06.568
Okay.
00:34:06.568 --> 00:34:07.409
It's loaded up.
00:34:07.409 --> 00:34:12.329
I will listen to it and then I'll be sad.
00:34:12.719 --> 00:34:16.798
I'll be like, I already listened to one, and she didn't like it.
00:34:17.864 --> 00:34:18.900
And then she made me even more.
00:34:20.278 --> 00:34:22.498
And then she was just like, you aren't sad enough.
00:34:22.588 --> 00:34:23.548
Listen to this.
00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:29.429
There's just a spot where you edited it somehow you figured out exactly which one I was gonna pick.
00:34:29.699 --> 00:34:32.099
And one of the songs is just like, Conlin, you suck.
00:34:32.099 --> 00:34:33.474
I kick you while you're on the floor.
00:34:34.719 --> 00:34:39.735
no, I had to get you into the mental space to appreciate this album.
00:34:40.204 --> 00:34:42.929
Oh, Okay, tell though.
00:34:46.155 --> 00:34:49.905
Okay, uh, Josh, let's go to your last book.
00:34:51.206 --> 00:34:55.047
Okay, so this is, uh, book four or five in the series.
00:34:55.106 --> 00:34:57.507
I have already lost track.
00:34:57.507 --> 00:35:00.297
This is Klan's personal favorite from the series so far.
00:35:00.297 --> 00:35:01.856
It's called Ruthless.
00:35:02.516 --> 00:35:11.157
Um, it's my least favorite in the series so far.
00:35:11.907 --> 00:35:14.306
Um, it's still a really good book.
00:35:14.666 --> 00:35:17.936
It has the highest highs for sure.
00:35:18.297 --> 00:35:21.686
Um, he goes on the side quest and makes friends with a bear.
00:35:22.242 --> 00:35:23.532
And it's really cool.
00:35:23.771 --> 00:35:26.291
And the Bear's Voice was the first time in the series.
00:35:26.291 --> 00:35:29.351
I felt like the narrator was doing a fantastic job.
00:35:29.862 --> 00:35:35.141
Um, not that he's done bad jobs before, but he was just kind of like a narrator.
00:35:35.141 --> 00:35:39.521
But when he switches between his voice and Joe's voice, it's so good.
00:35:40.242 --> 00:35:45.371
Um, I, I absolutely love all the Dungeons and Fights in this book.
00:35:45.612 --> 00:35:51.762
Um, I love the setup of the battle at the end, but they just skip over the Battle of the End.
00:35:53.202 --> 00:35:56.681
Joe's like, oh, I went unconscious and woke up and it's already over.
00:35:56.985 --> 00:35:58.559
Our favorite plot device.
00:36:00.594 --> 00:36:01.134
But I mean, the
00:36:01.181 --> 00:36:03.072
Once again, breeding Aragon.
00:36:04.452 --> 00:36:17.411
No, the last book, the last fight is literally like two minutes because Joe, they're losing and Joe's like, uh, the leader's like, Joe, we need you to level up.
00:36:17.442 --> 00:36:18.612
You can level up and say this.
00:36:18.612 --> 00:36:19.092
All right.
00:36:19.092 --> 00:36:19.541
And he is like.
00:36:20.081 --> 00:36:20.652
I don't know.
00:36:20.652 --> 00:36:21.282
I'll try it.
00:36:21.581 --> 00:36:25.391
And then it skips forward and it's like Joe has been unconscious for two days.
00:36:26.923 --> 00:36:27.463
Yeah.
00:36:27.463 --> 00:36:43.693
But at the same time he, like, does go out in the group, the giant army that's there, and he bounces on people's heads and he gets into a fight and he uses the bear from earlier and there's the entire blood ritual thing, which is badass.
00:36:43.784 --> 00:36:46.393
It's not two minutes.
00:36:46.811 --> 00:36:47.262
It is two
00:36:47.384 --> 00:36:48.103
two minutes.
00:36:48.103 --> 00:36:48.134
I,
00:36:48.402 --> 00:36:50.382
It is literally two minutes.
00:36:51.161 --> 00:36:54.101
Um, he does do some stuff.
00:36:54.521 --> 00:36:55.751
He goes unconscious.
00:36:55.751 --> 00:36:57.132
The big fight happens.
00:36:57.192 --> 00:36:59.621
He wakes up to the aftermath.
00:36:59.802 --> 00:37:04.152
His protege sets up the ritual, he activates it.
00:37:04.632 --> 00:37:05.802
That's all he does.
00:37:06.161 --> 00:37:08.981
Um, so I, didn't love that.
00:37:09.282 --> 00:37:10.992
I would've loved to have seen the fight.
00:37:12.012 --> 00:37:16.661
I would've loved to actually see what built up to them.
00:37:17.067 --> 00:37:19.436
Sucking so bad and failing so much.
00:37:19.467 --> 00:37:23.277
'cause they're the top squad.
00:37:23.786 --> 00:37:25.856
They're the absolute elite of elite.
00:37:26.036 --> 00:37:28.617
They have the dungeon that nobody else has.
00:37:28.646 --> 00:37:32.666
Like I get that they're losing a bunch.
00:37:32.666 --> 00:37:34.766
The blood ritual is very cool.
00:37:35.007 --> 00:37:37.737
Um, what happens with that is very cool.
00:37:38.246 --> 00:37:41.637
And then again, the aftermath of that isn't very cool.
00:37:42.746 --> 00:37:48.896
They're like, and you're exiled to the next zone that you were trying to get to anyway.
00:37:48.927 --> 00:37:51.567
And there's no real price for this.
00:37:51.597 --> 00:37:56.061
And yep, the end
00:37:56.563 --> 00:37:58.333
He is not ready to go to the next zone.
00:37:58.333 --> 00:38:05.744
He literally could get like, uh, what happens to all the people who are dying over and over again, where they're losing levels.
00:38:06.043 --> 00:38:07.873
This literally could happen going to the next.
00:38:10.242 --> 00:38:10.592
could,
00:38:10.619 --> 00:38:11.099
you, you
00:38:11.132 --> 00:38:11.351
but.
00:38:11.369 --> 00:38:16.889
it's not going to because this is, uh, the kind of book that it is, but it could,
00:38:17.922 --> 00:38:18.552
Yeah.
00:38:18.581 --> 00:38:28.302
But you did, you know, as a reader, it's not going to, and they also only just touched on the fact that dying over and over is gonna affect people.
00:38:28.302 --> 00:38:31.782
It's not something that's been building up for six books now.
00:38:32.141 --> 00:38:38.322
It literally is like, oh, hey, because you killed 3 million people in 10 hours.
00:38:38.501 --> 00:38:41.322
Uh, we started to notice some side effects.
00:38:41.382 --> 00:38:43.452
By the way, you have to leave now.
00:38:44.742 --> 00:38:45.282
Okay.
00:38:45.552 --> 00:38:48.972
Um, I just wasn't a personal fan of that.
00:38:49.722 --> 00:38:51.311
He didn't even care.
00:38:51.612 --> 00:38:54.942
He, Joe's response was, I wanted to do that anyway.
00:38:55.061 --> 00:38:55.842
Okay, cool.
00:38:56.141 --> 00:38:56.532
Um,
00:38:57.474 --> 00:38:58.364
Just didn't feel like much
00:38:58.391 --> 00:38:59.532
so yeah.
00:38:59.592 --> 00:39:01.842
Uh, so the highs are really high in this book.
00:39:01.842 --> 00:39:04.391
Like I said, they're the highest highs so far.
00:39:06.431 --> 00:39:10.632
There's a lot of in between that I think is just like, I view the office.
00:39:11.204 --> 00:39:11.534
Okay,
00:39:11.876 --> 00:39:13.916
When it's funny, it's really funny.
00:39:14.126 --> 00:39:17.067
Everything in between is just like, why am I watching this crap?
00:39:18.597 --> 00:39:24.027
That happens a lot in this book where he's like, I got to do this thing So that I can get more powerful.
00:39:24.597 --> 00:39:26.097
Now I've got to do this thing.
00:39:26.547 --> 00:39:30.297
Now they want me to do this thing so I can build a magical wall.
00:39:30.927 --> 00:39:31.797
Hey Joe, can You.
00:39:31.797 --> 00:39:33.626
put flamethrowers on our wall?
00:39:34.166 --> 00:39:34.797
No.
00:39:34.827 --> 00:39:35.967
Well, hold on.
00:39:35.967 --> 00:39:40.797
Maybe if I can, let me think about that literally happens in this book.
00:39:41.246 --> 00:39:47.996
Um, so for that reason, the in betweens, I wasn't satisfied with the ending.
00:39:48.056 --> 00:39:52.976
It felt like a big thing that they set up that this was gonna cause some big issue.
00:39:53.547 --> 00:40:02.306
And then they're like, but nobody really has a price to pay in it, so there's no consequences.
00:40:02.847 --> 00:40:05.367
Um, other than Joe feels a little bit guilty.
00:40:06.056 --> 00:40:06.536
So.
00:40:07.474 --> 00:40:07.693
You.
00:40:08.021 --> 00:40:17.532
Yeah, that's, that's the consequence for mass homicide at the mark of 6 million people in 10 hours, you feel a little bit guilty.
00:40:18.311 --> 00:40:18.702
Um,
00:40:18.929 --> 00:40:19.259
Matt.
00:40:19.259 --> 00:40:24.719
You were gonna, you'll not like the book that was just written, just so you actually, you'll see.
00:40:24.929 --> 00:40:27.088
You'll still probably like it, but there's gonna be some things to bug you.
00:40:27.568 --> 00:40:27.838
There are
00:40:27.851 --> 00:40:28.061
okay.
00:40:28.139 --> 00:40:28.918
some things that bug me.
00:40:29.407 --> 00:40:31.632
Uh, um, but yeah, it's still a good book.
00:40:31.632 --> 00:40:33.612
I'm giving it a 7.8 out of 10.
00:40:33.838 --> 00:40:34.228
Okay.
00:40:34.271 --> 00:40:35.561
Um, it's still good.
00:40:35.561 --> 00:40:38.322
It's just not as good as the other ones so far.
00:40:38.592 --> 00:40:41.382
Um, the other ones are definitely better paced.
00:40:42.135 --> 00:40:46.394
So with this series, is it following like a different character each time?
00:40:46.842 --> 00:40:48.161
No, it's mostly Joe.
00:40:48.492 --> 00:40:50.231
There's a side quest.
00:40:50.231 --> 00:40:52.452
It is literally called Rexi side.
00:40:52.452 --> 00:40:56.711
Quest follows Jackson, but that's it so far,
00:40:57.539 --> 00:40:57.688
and he
00:40:57.764 --> 00:40:58.065
Oh, okay.
00:40:58.601 --> 00:40:59.172
followed Joe.
00:41:00.012 --> 00:41:00.311
Yeah,
00:41:00.434 --> 00:41:01.934
And that's the T-Rex Arms.
00:41:02.081 --> 00:41:02.891
the two Rex Island.
00:41:03.552 --> 00:41:03.731
Yeah.
00:41:04.079 --> 00:41:04.469
Hands.
00:41:06.885 --> 00:41:07.364
That's funny.
00:41:08.085 --> 00:41:10.155
I mean, that's the one that I like.
00:41:11.715 --> 00:41:12.945
I'm kind of interested in
00:41:14.458 --> 00:41:14.789
you should
00:41:14.925 --> 00:41:14.985
the.
00:41:15.989 --> 00:41:16.829
this series for
00:41:17.217 --> 00:41:17.637
Yeah,
00:41:18.298 --> 00:41:21.568
without a doubt, it is another fun lit.
00:41:21.688 --> 00:41:22.588
RPG.
00:41:23.039 --> 00:41:26.248
It's not as good as Dun Carl, Carl, but it's just fun.
00:41:28.844 --> 00:41:31.244
You should like, you should listen to it.
00:41:31.916 --> 00:41:34.407
you should at least read up until that point.
00:41:34.827 --> 00:41:43.226
Read the first two books and then rexi so you know what's going on, and then decide what you wanna, if you want to keep going.
00:41:43.226 --> 00:41:43.257
I,
00:41:43.829 --> 00:41:45.780
And are those on your audible?
00:41:48.297 --> 00:41:50.606
uh, I dunno
00:41:51.030 --> 00:41:51.449
Hmm.
00:41:52.079 --> 00:41:52.679
If it's on there?
00:41:54.266 --> 00:41:54.447
Okay.
00:41:54.704 --> 00:41:58.813
You can log into my, do I have all of'em on there?
00:41:59.143 --> 00:41:59.983
I'll double check.
00:41:59.983 --> 00:42:01.543
I don't know if I have the first ones on there.
00:42:01.693 --> 00:42:10.693
I have everything else on my, the main, the author has his own app that he uses and it's kind of a pain in the ass.
00:42:10.963 --> 00:42:15.583
But I Audible takes a lot of money from authors, like a
00:42:15.585 --> 00:42:16.005
Mm-hmm.
00:42:16.244 --> 00:42:20.324
So if somebody has their own app and I can do it, I'll try to do it for people.
00:42:21.449 --> 00:42:28.199
he's one where I, I do that so he can get the$10 or 12 or whatever I spend instead of like a buck 50
00:42:32.925 --> 00:42:34.485
Well with that.
00:42:34.485 --> 00:42:37.335
And that's the Completion Chronicles that.
00:42:37.394 --> 00:42:39.284
Completion Chronicles.
00:42:39.478 --> 00:42:40.108
Completionist.
00:42:41.081 --> 00:42:41.891
Chronicles.
00:42:41.985 --> 00:42:42.465
Okay.
00:42:43.664 --> 00:42:45.735
Um, right.
00:42:45.735 --> 00:42:47.625
I think that's all your guys' topics.
00:42:48.405 --> 00:42:50.144
Down to my lonely topic.
00:42:51.298 --> 00:42:52.978
You great lonely topic.
00:42:53.144 --> 00:42:54.195
It is a good one.
00:42:54.405 --> 00:43:02.295
Um, I was sitting in my car on Halloween night waiting for traffic to die down so I could make it home.
00:43:03.014 --> 00:43:04.485
And I was like, what do I wanna watch?
00:43:04.695 --> 00:43:06.135
And I was like, oh my gosh.
00:43:06.164 --> 00:43:10.635
I have not watched Werewolf by night this, this year.
00:43:11.085 --> 00:43:18.494
So, um, anybody who hasn't watched, uh, werewolf by Night is a Marvel one off.
00:43:18.974 --> 00:43:22.065
Uh, I think it's only like 45 minutes long.
00:43:22.425 --> 00:43:22.934
Uh,
00:43:23.126 --> 00:43:25.177
it's not gonna be a one-off for too much longer.
00:43:25.755 --> 00:43:26.385
Oh really?
00:43:27.007 --> 00:43:27.297
Yeah,
00:43:28.755 --> 00:43:32.340
Is, is that an a sad Yeah.
00:43:32.340 --> 00:43:32.760
Or
00:43:33.117 --> 00:43:34.536
no, they're making more stuff.
00:43:34.766 --> 00:43:35.376
They've been,
00:43:35.429 --> 00:43:36.478
like the happiest Yeah.
00:43:36.478 --> 00:43:37.438
I've ever heard.
00:43:37.829 --> 00:43:39.119
Yeah.
00:43:39.568 --> 00:43:39.809
Like a
00:43:39.967 --> 00:43:40.257
yeah.
00:43:40.619 --> 00:43:40.949
store.
00:43:40.949 --> 00:43:41.998
Yeah.
00:43:42.007 --> 00:43:42.297
Yeah.
00:43:46.860 --> 00:43:47.280
Like the t
00:43:47.369 --> 00:43:50.458
should be our s Go ahead.
00:43:50.458 --> 00:43:50.728
Sorry.
00:43:50.728 --> 00:43:53.429
I was gonna say, that should be our score for something That's good.
00:43:53.668 --> 00:43:56.728
Like I just watched a movie and it was, yeah.
00:43:58.889 --> 00:44:07.769
there's um, this video going on, uh, a clip of trodden where he is like, yeah, yeah.
00:44:07.769 --> 00:44:08.579
Really weird.
00:44:10.019 --> 00:44:11.429
Anyway, that's what that reminded me of.
00:44:13.590 --> 00:44:17.940
so it's, they're doing more one-offs or they're continuing werewolf finite.
00:44:18.657 --> 00:44:19.646
Werewolf by night.
00:44:19.737 --> 00:44:20.217
Sequel, I.
00:44:20.579 --> 00:44:21.420
Oh, okay.
00:44:21.809 --> 00:44:22.108
Cool.
00:44:23.190 --> 00:44:24.630
so this.
00:44:25.500 --> 00:44:31.800
I couldn't remember at the very end if she died or not when I was watching this.
00:44:32.159 --> 00:44:38.489
And I was like, and so I was like, is he gonna, I can't remember if this ended like tragically or not.
00:44:38.940 --> 00:44:45.300
Um, anyway, for anybody who hasn't seen it, um, don't listen to my explanation and go watch it.
00:44:46.889 --> 00:44:51.690
Um, but yeah, world finite is really good.
00:44:51.690 --> 00:45:02.099
You follow this, uh, character who you realize there's all these hunters of, uh, monsters that have been gathered to do like this.
00:45:02.130 --> 00:45:02.489
Um.
00:45:03.735 --> 00:45:07.005
Basically fight for what is called the bloodstone.
00:45:08.204 --> 00:45:11.505
uh, this guy has like a lot of kills and stuff.
00:45:11.505 --> 00:45:14.114
And so, but nobody really knows each other.
00:45:14.445 --> 00:45:19.905
Um, and there's like the daughter who was supposed to inherit it, but she didn't want anything to do with their family.
00:45:19.905 --> 00:45:23.114
So she now has to compete in this thing to get the bloodstone.
00:45:24.224 --> 00:45:30.164
well you find the G we're following is actually a monster himself and is friends with the monster.
00:45:30.375 --> 00:45:38.085
And I love how they like, introduce that when he's like, backing up and like the monster grabs him and he's like, oh, hey buddy.
00:45:38.894 --> 00:45:40.125
Like bats him.
00:45:40.454 --> 00:45:41.684
It's so funny.
00:45:41.775 --> 00:46:00.074
Um, and like I, this is like probably one of the chillest, Characters in Marvel, I think, uh, because he's like, he comes face to face with the other hunter and like the rules are, you kill other hunters to get this bloodstone.
00:46:01.094 --> 00:46:05.534
he comes face to face with her and he's like, I suggest we pass each other by.
00:46:05.534 --> 00:46:06.315
And she's like, what?
00:46:06.434 --> 00:46:10.155
He's like, I suggest we pass each other by.
00:46:11.565 --> 00:46:15.344
Um, but like if he needs to kill, he will instantly.
00:46:15.824 --> 00:46:29.175
Uh, and then Shenanigans ens Sue, and then, uh, the daughter, him and the monster that are trying to get out of this maze, together.
00:46:29.175 --> 00:46:33.795
And so they work together to get out, but then, uh, they find out that he's a monster.
00:46:33.795 --> 00:46:37.934
And so they lock him up with her to like punish her as well.
00:46:38.684 --> 00:46:41.594
And they're like, yeah, uh, we're gonna transform you into a werewolf.
00:46:41.594 --> 00:46:43.425
You're gonna kill her justice.
00:46:43.875 --> 00:46:47.505
Um, but instead he's like, uh.
00:46:50.114 --> 00:46:55.155
I actually really like the scene where he is like, I have to remember you, like you need to keep eye contact with me.
00:46:55.425 --> 00:46:59.775
And then he just like starts sniffing her and she's like, what the heck are, she's like, does this work for you?
00:46:59.775 --> 00:47:11.054
And he's like, He is like once kind of, um, but he is like trying so hard not to kill people.
00:47:11.235 --> 00:47:13.815
'cause he is a, oh, surprise, he's a werewolf.
00:47:15.443 --> 00:47:15.934
Shocker.
00:47:16.304 --> 00:47:16.934
Shocker.
00:47:17.625 --> 00:47:28.034
Um, but then like how he, like, I love how they have it in black and white and I love how like he gets out and then he just like starts massacring everybody.
00:47:28.034 --> 00:47:32.775
She, um, he finally kills everybody.
00:47:32.835 --> 00:47:34.755
And then it's basically her and him.
00:47:35.054 --> 00:47:37.934
And there's like this part where she has, um.
00:47:39.614 --> 00:47:42.704
She has the bloodstone, which will hurt him, but she doesn't ease it on him.
00:47:43.155 --> 00:47:45.164
And he like knocks her down to the ground.
00:47:45.164 --> 00:47:50.925
And this is where I was like, I can't remember if he kills her right here or not.
00:47:52.875 --> 00:47:55.664
Uh, either way I think it would've been good.
00:47:57.614 --> 00:48:06.554
Um, but then he, he leaves her alone, runs off and then like wakes up and his little monster buddy has like, been taking care of him that night.
00:48:06.554 --> 00:48:08.144
And he is like, she, she okay.
00:48:08.144 --> 00:48:10.425
He's like, yeah, yeah, there's fine, everything's good.
00:48:10.664 --> 00:48:16.275
And then like, color comes back to the world as they're like sitting there and just like chatting it up.
00:48:16.394 --> 00:48:24.105
Anyway, I am very excited to hear that there is gonna be another, uh, another one because I love those characters.
00:48:26.324 --> 00:48:26.655
Yeah.
00:48:26.804 --> 00:48:29.264
Anyway, so it was a really good Halloween watch.
00:48:29.324 --> 00:48:34.815
I'm really glad I picked that one to watch my car while I waited for traffic.
00:48:37.260 --> 00:48:41.820
Um, our shared topic alien.
00:48:42.210 --> 00:48:50.489
Um, I know this is Collin's favorite, so I'm gonna actually have Josh start off and I'll hear from Collin.
00:48:53.427 --> 00:48:53.646
Uh.
00:48:58.092 --> 00:49:00.762
I have an interesting history with this movie.
00:49:01.362 --> 00:49:11.351
Uh, I was introduced to this series by watching Alien Versus Predator, the first one, and absolutely loved it.
00:49:11.771 --> 00:49:13.061
10 out of 10, great movie.
00:49:13.271 --> 00:49:25.931
Um, super into it, but I wasn't really allowed to watch movies from this series, so I only watched Alien Verse Predator because my brother bought the series and he showed me that one.
00:49:26.862 --> 00:49:30.552
Um, so I didn't watch it for a very long time.
00:49:30.731 --> 00:49:36.431
And then I tried watching the first one once and was like, you know, it's just old.
00:49:36.521 --> 00:49:38.592
It just doesn't really work.
00:49:38.621 --> 00:49:40.061
It's not really scary.
00:49:40.061 --> 00:49:41.112
X, y, z, whatever.
00:49:41.862 --> 00:49:46.271
And then Conlin comes along and he's like, you gotta watch it.
00:49:46.422 --> 00:49:49.722
Um, you know, it's so good.
00:49:49.782 --> 00:49:52.961
And so I tried watching it again and I was like, you know what?
00:49:52.961 --> 00:49:54.192
This movie's awesome.
00:49:55.242 --> 00:49:58.541
And so I went back and explored more movies from the series.
00:49:58.541 --> 00:50:08.021
I watched Aliens, I watched The Alien Versus Predator Movies again, and I was like, wow, alien versus Predator could have been so good, but it wasn't.
00:50:08.442 --> 00:50:12.371
And, but Alien definitely worked for me that time.
00:50:13.331 --> 00:50:17.771
Uh, and so I watched Aliens and I didn't love Aliens, so I didn't watch anymore.
00:50:18.552 --> 00:50:23.891
Um, but Collin's favorite is Aliens and his second favorite, I think, is this one.
00:50:24.762 --> 00:50:30.041
Uh, rewatching it more recently, I do think it is a little bit dated.
00:50:30.041 --> 00:50:32.202
It didn't work as well for me this time.
00:50:32.202 --> 00:50:33.762
It's still a pretty good movie.
00:50:34.302 --> 00:50:42.851
Um, but I, I don't know why sometimes it works for me and sometimes it doesn't.
00:50:42.911 --> 00:50:52.722
I'm guessing because I kind of just like felt like I had to watch it this time's why I didn't feel like the anticipation or the what's gonna happen kind of stuff.
00:50:52.722 --> 00:50:53.532
I was just like, yep.
00:50:54.387 --> 00:50:56.097
This is happening now.
00:50:56.097 --> 00:50:57.027
This is happening.
00:50:58.436 --> 00:50:58.737
Okay.
00:50:58.737 --> 00:50:59.697
That was kind of funny.
00:50:59.757 --> 00:51:00.027
Okay.
00:51:00.027 --> 00:51:01.286
I didn't really love that part.
00:51:01.317 --> 00:51:01.797
Okay.
00:51:02.097 --> 00:51:03.297
We're along for this ride.
00:51:03.297 --> 00:51:03.686
Woo-hoo.
00:51:04.166 --> 00:51:09.777
Um, so my history with this movie is I would've said it's like a five outta 10.
00:51:10.166 --> 00:51:12.806
And then I really liked it and I would've told you it's a nine out of 10.
00:51:13.317 --> 00:51:20.996
Um, so I am landing on it for this week at, um, a 7.8 out of 10.
00:51:21.027 --> 00:51:23.907
'cause I do still know there's a lot of really good to it.
00:51:24.416 --> 00:51:32.456
Um, just didn't work for me this week, so I had to be honest about that.
00:51:32.456 --> 00:51:34.197
So that's, That's where I landed.
00:51:36.414 --> 00:51:37.284
All right.
00:51:37.375 --> 00:51:39.445
Come and tell Josh why he's wrong.
00:51:41.923 --> 00:51:44.384
So I actually think Josh is right.
00:51:44.954 --> 00:51:47.923
Um, but I love this movie regardless.
00:51:48.344 --> 00:51:56.983
The Reason is my favorite is because I can rewatch aliens a thousand times and still love that movie.
00:51:57.824 --> 00:52:05.023
movie, in my opinion, is one of the greatest first time watch movies you can possibly watch ever.
00:52:05.893 --> 00:52:17.889
once you've, once you've experienced the thrill of watching it the first time where it like grabs you and you don't know what's going on, especially when it's me and I'm a kid and I've never been introduced to Alien at all.
00:52:18.463 --> 00:52:20.443
I don't know about the thing coming outta people's chest.
00:52:20.443 --> 00:52:21.344
I know nothing.
00:52:21.494 --> 00:52:23.054
I'm going into this blind.
00:52:23.954 --> 00:52:27.793
time that you watch it, you're like, what the hell?
00:52:28.574 --> 00:52:29.353
the hell?
00:52:29.804 --> 00:52:31.063
What the hell?
00:52:31.213 --> 00:52:32.384
The entire movie.
00:52:32.653 --> 00:52:37.063
And I remember thinking that when I was like seven or eight when I first watched this, um.
00:52:38.219 --> 00:52:48.239
I, I think that those, what the hell moments really make this movie and it's not quite as satisfying of a second time watch because you've already had that experience.
00:52:48.568 --> 00:52:49.559
I still like it.
00:52:49.559 --> 00:52:51.509
I still think it's extremely well directed.
00:52:51.509 --> 00:52:53.429
I think the tension is fantastic.
00:52:53.728 --> 00:52:55.978
I think the atmosphere is very palpable.
00:52:56.818 --> 00:52:57.989
the music is really good.
00:52:57.989 --> 00:53:15.239
Like e every, every part of the movie making process is excellent in this movie, but it is not as re watchable of a movie, in my opinion, as number two is that saying it doesn't take away from the fact that this is still a great movie and deserves to be the cult classic that it is.
00:53:15.628 --> 00:53:16.798
It's a great monster movie.
00:53:16.798 --> 00:53:20.009
Like I said, monster movies are really hard to, to make work.
00:53:20.489 --> 00:53:20.969
Um.
00:53:21.028 --> 00:53:25.829
the acting is, it doesn't feel like an eighties movie to me.
00:53:26.818 --> 00:53:32.639
It feels like it actually is well acted where some eighties movies come across feeling like they're.
00:53:33.434 --> 00:53:36.793
Of that time period and the acting is of that time period.
00:53:38.713 --> 00:53:48.494
but the, some of the, I think a lot of the camera shots actually make it feel a little old the way that they were to film.
00:53:48.494 --> 00:53:53.474
It makes it feel old and, uh, I don't think they, they can really change that.
00:53:54.224 --> 00:54:00.548
So I don't know how you make it feel more modern, but I don't necessarily think you need to with this one.
00:54:03.440 --> 00:54:03.659
Um.
00:54:05.114 --> 00:54:13.155
Yeah, I guess it, it's interesting'cause like you, you mentioned like you didn't know anything about Alien going into watching it the first time.
00:54:13.605 --> 00:54:29.715
And I think that did, um, make my viewing of it not as like impactful because like I did know about like the chest, uh, chest purses and like face huggers and things like that.
00:54:30.135 --> 00:54:42.974
And like I mentioned in a previous um, where with scary things, if they show me the creature, like if they linger on it, it makes it less scary to me.
00:54:44.235 --> 00:54:55.065
things that I will say I love that it wasn't CGI and I love how it was, um, actual props and things that they made for this.
00:54:55.485 --> 00:54:59.715
Um, is something that I miss about tv.
00:54:59.715 --> 00:55:03.945
I know it's very expensive to do that, but it is something that I think.
00:55:04.695 --> 00:55:09.945
Is missed in a lot of TVs, TV series and movies.
00:55:10.394 --> 00:55:26.894
Um, I think CGI should be too enhanced, not replace, um, but yeah, I, I don't know if I wasn't scared on this because that I noticed, and I think it's probably'cause of the platform I was watching it on.
00:55:27.315 --> 00:55:29.744
I was like, this is a very quiet movie.
00:55:29.804 --> 00:55:32.625
I don't hear like a soundtrack or anything.
00:55:33.045 --> 00:55:39.074
Um, so I think that might've been the platform I was watching it on'cause it was very quiet.
00:55:40.215 --> 00:55:40.635
I and I,
00:55:40.934 --> 00:55:41.173
movie.
00:55:41.173 --> 00:55:45.943
There's spikes, spikes of music, which is something I think is beautiful about the movie.
00:55:46.664 --> 00:56:01.454
oh,'cause like, to me, like, I was kind of like, I, I don't know it like, not bored isn't the right word, but I was like.
00:56:02.250 --> 00:56:07.050
didn't feel tense, like I felt like I should be watching this movie.
00:56:07.469 --> 00:56:23.099
So I was just like pretty chill watching this entire movie and I was like, Hmm, I do love how Ripley would get like mad at Mother would be like calling her names and stuff.
00:56:23.250 --> 00:56:27.960
Which mothers the AI the, the ship and stuff.
00:56:27.960 --> 00:56:29.789
And I did like Jones the Cat.
00:56:29.789 --> 00:56:31.715
I was so glad the cat made it.
00:56:34.014 --> 00:56:36.690
Um, because it was funny.
00:56:36.690 --> 00:56:49.710
I think, I feel like the last 20 minutes was just, I feel like the pacing was off for me'cause it felt like everything was like very slow and then everything happened in the last 20 minutes, which,
00:56:49.873 --> 00:56:50.094
Hmm.
00:56:50.250 --> 00:56:52.860
um, was.
00:56:53.775 --> 00:56:56.985
What got me to be more invested, I think.
00:56:57.465 --> 00:57:04.485
And I loved the whole part of Ripley getting in, finally getting into the space shuttle.
00:57:04.485 --> 00:57:06.465
Like you see her like almost drift off.
00:57:06.494 --> 00:57:10.905
'cause she's like, I'm finally safe, it's fine, I'm good.
00:57:11.235 --> 00:57:15.164
And then she like, it brought you into a false sense of security.
00:57:15.164 --> 00:57:17.744
And then the alien made it on board too.
00:57:18.135 --> 00:57:31.755
And I was like so happy that she is a smart person because like she very calmly was like, just gonna put on my space, shoot, not doing anything suspicious.
00:57:33.465 --> 00:57:36.675
And then she's like, just buckling myself in.
00:57:36.675 --> 00:57:37.304
Don't you worry.
00:57:38.949 --> 00:57:48.735
And then like slaps the airlock and I was like, oh my gosh, thank like, I wasn't nervous at all the whole, but the whole time I was like.
00:57:51.255 --> 00:57:56.684
I want her in every horror movie because she does sensible things.
00:57:57.150 --> 00:57:57.440
Yeah.
00:57:58.215 --> 00:57:59.054
I loved it.
00:57:59.474 --> 00:58:05.534
Um, uh, yeah, I like, yeah, I liked Jones.
00:58:05.534 --> 00:58:09.764
I liked the i, the very end part.
00:58:10.514 --> 00:58:15.735
It was very, um, that to me was satisfying.
00:58:16.065 --> 00:58:18.284
Uh, but I was like, I feel like
00:58:18.373 --> 00:58:19.048
too slow.
00:58:19.275 --> 00:58:20.625
I felt a little too slow.
00:58:20.925 --> 00:58:37.005
Um, I feel like you could probably had everything that happened in the first bit be explained in 15 minutes and then you could have had, um, like the events happen, but quicker.
00:58:37.065 --> 00:58:37.635
I don't know.
00:58:37.844 --> 00:58:45.885
I don't know how I would've done it better, but, uh, I just, because I think it's been hyped up so much.
00:58:46.304 --> 00:58:48.824
Um, I think.
00:58:49.244 --> 00:58:51.255
Was probably why I felt that way.
00:58:51.405 --> 00:59:02.655
And then also I think the platform I was watching it on didn't have, because I don't think I even heard music in the like, intense parts.
00:59:02.684 --> 00:59:07.695
Like I think I heard the, the folly and stuff, but not the actual like music.
00:59:08.054 --> 00:59:10.784
So I think that might've taken it away.
00:59:10.815 --> 00:59:16.485
'cause I'm a very big music person with, um, shows.
00:59:16.815 --> 00:59:26.025
But mean, I was, I think I was telling, uh, Josh this, that I was like, I don't think that I would label this as horror.
00:59:26.025 --> 00:59:27.344
And he is like, what do you label it as?
00:59:27.344 --> 00:59:28.545
And I was like, sci-fi.
00:59:28.574 --> 00:59:29.925
He's like, it's a sci-fi horror.
00:59:31.628 --> 00:59:33.838
Yeah, It's by horror.
00:59:34.905 --> 00:59:38.835
But like, I was like, how about sci-fi thriller?
00:59:40.934 --> 00:59:41.594
Um,
00:59:41.978 --> 00:59:42.099
I
00:59:42.135 --> 00:59:44.534
but yeah, so I was like, I think.
00:59:46.380 --> 00:59:58.199
I mean, I'm happy that it wasn't like the horrors that I hate the horror movies I hate, so I would probably give it like a six outta 10 because I mean, I didn't hate that I watched it.
00:59:58.679 --> 01:00:07.230
Um, I do understand for the time that it came out, why people, it was like so big.
01:00:07.320 --> 01:00:18.900
Um, I feel like since then, uh, at that time, uh, sci-fi was always like hopeful about going to the stars and like exploring.
01:00:18.900 --> 01:00:23.519
And I think this was like the first one to be like, what if it isn't all great?
01:00:25.110 --> 01:00:27.389
One of them's actually monsters.
01:00:28.483 --> 01:00:30.554
What if it's actually monsters?
01:00:32.130 --> 01:00:39.599
So, and I did like the reveal of the Android and them being like, actually this is what was actually going on.
01:00:39.599 --> 01:00:42.269
So I did, I did like that.
01:00:42.750 --> 01:00:43.440
Um.
01:00:43.949 --> 01:00:49.889
Uh, that, because that hadn't been, I hadn't known about that.
01:00:49.949 --> 01:00:58.320
And then that happened in the movie and I was like, okay, so I'm gonna bump it up to 6.5'cause of that.
01:00:58.440 --> 01:01:03.570
Um, but yeah, I was, not mad that we watched it.
01:01:04.994 --> 01:01:06.494
Will you watch number two?
01:01:07.199 --> 01:01:07.769
Probably.
01:01:07.829 --> 01:01:08.190
Yeah.
01:01:08.594 --> 01:01:08.954
Okay,
01:01:09.900 --> 01:01:10.679
keep watching them.
01:01:11.384 --> 01:01:14.114
probably the movie of all movies.
01:01:14.233 --> 01:01:16.873
I can be like, Lauren, I want you to watch just this.
01:01:17.309 --> 01:01:17.815
Just that.
01:01:18.043 --> 01:01:19.184
didn't like it as much as me.
01:01:19.184 --> 01:01:20.503
I love, I love number two.
01:01:20.864 --> 01:01:21.284
I love that.
01:01:21.436 --> 01:01:23.351
I don't think it's as good as the first one.
01:01:23.789 --> 01:01:25.650
Um, interesting.
01:01:26.070 --> 01:01:27.329
Is the pacing in music better?
01:01:27.329 --> 01:01:27.929
No, I'm just kidding.
01:01:28.603 --> 01:01:29.114
pacing
01:01:29.291 --> 01:01:30.282
It is, an action.
01:01:30.282 --> 01:01:31.126
movie, so yeah.
01:01:32.534 --> 01:01:33.554
It's very different.
01:01:33.554 --> 01:01:34.483
It's a very different movie.
01:01:35.086 --> 01:01:35.376
Yeah.
01:01:35.400 --> 01:01:37.380
might actually like it better.
01:01:37.380 --> 01:01:37.949
I think.
01:01:37.949 --> 01:01:38.880
I think I was just.
01:01:40.574 --> 01:01:44.760
I wanted more action is probably what I wanted.
01:01:45.028 --> 01:01:45.298
You will
01:01:45.460 --> 01:01:45.679
One.
01:01:45.989 --> 01:01:46.318
movie.
01:01:47.789 --> 01:01:49.648
They're completely different movies.
01:01:50.887 --> 01:01:52.347
Con, what did you rate the first?
01:01:52.708 --> 01:01:53.458
in both of them.
01:01:55.528 --> 01:01:57.599
And Sigourney Waiver is in both of them.
01:01:58.485 --> 01:01:58.994
I,
01:01:59.188 --> 01:01:59.309
it.
01:02:00.824 --> 01:02:10.784
okay, so I in a cabin somebody was watching all of the alien movies in a row.
01:02:11.009 --> 01:02:11.068
Hmm.
01:02:11.114 --> 01:02:25.905
I fell asleep, so I didn't see the first or second, or I don't know where I woke up at, but a rat crawled across my hand, woke me up, and uh, I have a spoiler that I woke up.
01:02:27.199 --> 01:02:27.550
Right.
01:02:28.664 --> 01:02:30.344
Have you seen all of them, Josh?
01:02:31.994 --> 01:02:32.534
No.
01:02:32.621 --> 01:02:33.617
that's Okay, I don't plan to.
01:02:33.824 --> 01:02:35.474
Okay, spoiler, everybody.
01:02:35.894 --> 01:02:41.894
I wake up to an alien bursting out of Ripley's chest and she holds onto it,
01:02:50.188 --> 01:02:52.018
That is quite the spot.
01:02:53.949 --> 01:02:54.300
right?
01:02:55.599 --> 01:02:57.074
So it's like, I'm like, oh dang it.
01:02:57.074 --> 01:03:00.375
It was so funny'cause I knew Ripley was gonna make it in this one.
01:03:00.375 --> 01:03:05.655
And so I was like, is that like, I knew she was gonna make it and everybody else was gonna die.
01:03:05.925 --> 01:03:16.215
So I was like, is that also leading to me not being like, yeah, there's an alien on the spacecraft.
01:03:19.139 --> 01:03:26.818
Hey, just so you know, in Morse horror movies, the final girl is the final girl and she lives, sorry.
01:03:26.818 --> 01:03:27.449
I spoiled them all.
01:03:29.280 --> 01:03:35.219
Well, I mean, not in the one that I woke up to and there's one bursting out of her chest and she jumped off into a,
01:03:35.608 --> 01:03:36.478
the best one.
01:03:38.909 --> 01:03:45.509
Now, if you do watch the, if you watch aliens and really like it, if you get aliens three, get the director's cut.
01:03:46.409 --> 01:03:52.739
'cause it's way better like it is still got, it is a, movie with problems, but it is way better.
01:03:55.121 --> 01:03:56.657
Colin, what did you rate the first one?
01:03:57.329 --> 01:04:02.548
Oh, the first one to me is like a 8.7 around there.
01:04:05.864 --> 01:04:05.985
Hmm.
01:04:06.148 --> 01:04:10.018
this movie, but I, it, it isn't as good on your second watch.
01:04:10.018 --> 01:04:10.679
It just isn't.
01:04:11.855 --> 01:04:11.974
Hmm.
01:04:13.925 --> 01:04:19.469
Well that's what, um,'cause like I know you, you've said several times throughout.
01:04:20.204 --> 01:04:21.885
This podcast like that you love them.
01:04:21.885 --> 01:04:28.184
Do you know like what specifically is about this series that has you like latched onto'em?
01:04:29.503 --> 01:04:30.614
Uh, that's a really good question.
01:04:30.824 --> 01:04:32.983
I like good creature features.
01:04:33.164 --> 01:04:36.403
Uh, maybe that's part of the reason why I rated our other show a little bit higher.
01:04:36.764 --> 01:04:41.204
'cause like I said, I, I think it's really hard to pull off and when you do pull it off, I appreciate it a lot.
01:04:41.563 --> 01:04:45.434
Like, I think there are almost no good werewolf movies for real.
01:04:45.523 --> 01:04:46.934
I think most of them kind of suck.
01:04:47.384 --> 01:04:52.454
And so if you do get a good one, I give it extra points because you are one of the very few that don't suck.
01:04:54.103 --> 01:05:00.403
and this is one of the best creature feature movies, The alien is super cool.
01:05:00.494 --> 01:05:03.134
It's blood literally melts stuff.
01:05:03.253 --> 01:05:14.264
How much cooler can you get as a tell that stabs people, there's guns, there's insanity, the, they're just, they're just awesome.
01:05:14.324 --> 01:05:15.193
They're just awesome.
01:05:15.253 --> 01:05:16.664
Aliens are just cool.
01:05:17.668 --> 01:05:19.528
They're just, and they're creepy.
01:05:19.619 --> 01:05:25.409
I love the in alien isolation when you're playing it, you'll hear them like crawling along the vents.
01:05:25.528 --> 01:05:29.608
I hear it in aliens too, where they're like crawling in the ceiling or they're crawling underneath you.
01:05:29.759 --> 01:05:33.358
And I find that creepy, creepy crawly things creep me out.
01:05:33.719 --> 01:05:35.699
And the aliens do a great job of that.
01:05:35.998 --> 01:05:41.219
I think Ripley is one of the best characters in anything cinema.
01:05:41.579 --> 01:05:43.168
She is one of my favorite characters.
01:05:43.528 --> 01:05:55.798
Um, when I was a kid, I got super into the comics, I've got an entire box of aliens, comics that I would just read over and over and over again, along with aliens and PR versus pr comic books.
01:05:56.699 --> 01:05:59.759
I, I, I love the, the stories that are in it.
01:05:59.759 --> 01:06:11.309
I love the way that people envision them, and unfortunately, most of the movies don't live up to how cool some of these comics really are and the idea of the alien.
01:06:12.088 --> 01:06:14.009
I, I just like the creature aspect of it.
01:06:14.789 --> 01:06:17.789
my creature feature that is like Josh's Godzilla.
01:06:17.789 --> 01:06:19.498
I think I just like the creature.
01:06:22.590 --> 01:06:23.610
Fair enough.
01:06:24.090 --> 01:06:25.349
Um, yeah.
01:06:25.440 --> 01:06:29.130
Well with that, wait, yeah, Josh, we did have you talk about this.
01:06:31.139 --> 01:06:32.159
I couldn't remember.
01:06:32.692 --> 01:06:33.507
It is okay.
01:06:33.507 --> 01:06:35.456
I'm just the forgotten child in my family.
01:06:35.456 --> 01:06:37.166
We can just forget What I say.
01:06:37.317 --> 01:06:38.697
It's, it all doesn't matter.
01:06:38.697 --> 01:06:39.146
It's all good.
01:06:39.420 --> 01:06:40.110
middle,
01:06:40.259 --> 01:06:40.409
like?
01:06:40.588 --> 01:06:44.969
I keep hearing something that sounds kinda like a male voice.
01:06:44.969 --> 01:06:45.208
Do you
01:06:45.255 --> 01:06:48.690
it sounds like a middle child of a podcast or something.
01:06:52.650 --> 01:06:52.710
No.
01:06:53.639 --> 01:06:54.719
just kidding, buddy.
01:06:55.798 --> 01:06:59.969
Nah, Josh is the absolute best ever.
01:06:59.969 --> 01:07:00.298
Lauren.
01:07:00.298 --> 01:07:03.449
Lauren's a little bit better, but Josh is the absolute second best.
01:07:06.269 --> 01:07:06.809
Anyway,
01:07:09.418 --> 01:07:14.668
I mean, unless there was another child that he might be the absolute third best
01:07:16.434 --> 01:07:16.655
she.
01:07:19.949 --> 01:07:23.369
With that, uh, everybody.
01:07:23.369 --> 01:07:25.019
So love to Josh in the comment.
01:07:27.809 --> 01:07:32.340
Uh, tell us what your favorite, uh, feature creature, creature feature
01:07:33.713 --> 01:07:34.724

01:07:35.188 --> 01:07:35.489
What is.
01:07:35.489 --> 01:07:36.929
your favorite feature creature?
