00:00:07.690 --> 00:00:10.130
Hello, welcome to a brand new episode of the Nerdpocalypse podcast.
2
00:00:10.169 --> 00:00:13.490
I'm your host, Jay. I'm here with my co-host, Micah. Hey.
3
00:00:14.810 --> 00:00:17.710
All right, so we are back. Not a lot to
4
00:00:17.750 --> 00:00:20.929
talk about this week. Pretty light docket, so probably not
5
00:00:20.949 --> 00:00:25.050
a super long show. But some, you know, obviously important
6
00:00:25.089 --> 00:00:29.199
things to talk about. All right, checked out this week. Look,
7
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:33.479
we're going to get to Vision Quest and Breakdown Vision Quest.
8
00:00:33.979 --> 00:00:36.159
Spoilers and all that. It's an excellent two episodes, by
9
00:00:36.179 --> 00:00:38.929
the way. I want to talk to you about something else.
10
00:00:40.890 --> 00:00:44.149
Crystal Lake is so fucking good, dude. This show is
11
00:00:44.210 --> 00:00:49.460
fucking excellent. So this is produced by A24, which I
12
00:00:49.500 --> 00:00:51.030
did not realize until I started watching it.
13
00:00:53.259 --> 00:00:53.890
They're nailing it.
14
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:56.539
There's been like a bunch of Friday the 13th reboots
15
00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:58.840
over the last number of years that have been, in
16
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:00.520
a word, garbage.
17
00:01:01.179 --> 00:01:01.840
Where they're like.
18
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:04.670
Trying to humanize Jason a little bit more and And
19
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:07.500
I'm like, eh, eh, monster, yo.
20
00:01:07.780 --> 00:01:08.519
He's a monster.
21
00:01:08.540 --> 00:01:14.680
Like, just make him a monster. This one isn't... Jason
22
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:17.659
is there. Like, this takes place eight years before the
23
00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:20.239
original movie, right? So apparently, and I've not seen all
24
00:01:20.260 --> 00:01:22.469
the Friday the 13th movies because, you know, I'm a coward.
25
00:01:25.010 --> 00:01:27.629
They have, like, the lore is, like, kind of all
26
00:01:27.709 --> 00:01:29.469
over the place. Like, they had a lore, and then
27
00:01:29.489 --> 00:01:32.030
they kind of undercut it in other movies and go
28
00:01:32.069 --> 00:01:32.530
back and forth.
29
00:01:32.590 --> 00:01:34.430
But, you know, obviously the original premise is there.
30
00:01:34.750 --> 00:01:37.579
Which is Jason was a kid, drowns in Crystal Lake
31
00:01:38.019 --> 00:01:40.859
when he's at summer camp because two teenagers were off
32
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:46.260
fucking and not watching him, the counselors, and then eventually,
33
00:01:46.299 --> 00:01:48.620
you know, he comes back, kills a bunch of people, right?
34
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.340
This takes place, like, it starts, you see Jason as
35
00:01:53.379 --> 00:01:56.290
a kid, he's got his mom, he's deformed, right? He's got, like,
36
00:01:56.310 --> 00:01:59.390
a fucking big-ass head, like, it looks like a pumpkin, basically,
37
00:01:59.430 --> 00:02:01.609
and he's got, like, a cleft palate and shit like that, right?
38
00:02:02.530 --> 00:02:04.430
So you see him and he interacts. He's like a
39
00:02:04.450 --> 00:02:07.290
sweet kid. He goes to camp. Some kids kind of
40
00:02:07.329 --> 00:02:09.539
bully him a little bit. He ends up in the
41
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:15.599
lake through whatever circumstances. I won't give that away. And
42
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:17.199
he drowns. His mom is there.
43
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:19.599
She works at the camp. She's trying to get to him.
44
00:02:19.969 --> 00:02:21.460
The camp counselors are trying to get to him.
45
00:02:21.569 --> 00:02:21.949
They can't.
46
00:02:22.129 --> 00:02:25.129
He drowns, right? They do such a good.
47
00:02:25.050 --> 00:02:28.210
Job because you really like this kid and you feel
48
00:02:28.270 --> 00:02:31.560
sorry for him. And they don't give any sense of like, oh,
49
00:02:31.620 --> 00:02:34.689
he's secretly evil or anything like that. You're like, when
50
00:02:34.729 --> 00:02:38.449
he dies, you're like, holy shit, this is fucked up.
51
00:02:38.469 --> 00:02:40.469
So you actually feel for the character. And you really
52
00:02:40.490 --> 00:02:44.110
feel for the mom, who's played by Linda Cardellini.
53
00:02:44.909 --> 00:02:49.900
And if you Google her name, you'll recognize her immediately. Yeah,
54
00:02:50.810 --> 00:02:53.840
she was Velma in Scooby-Doo. Yeah, that's right.
55
00:02:53.979 --> 00:02:56.340
And for old school nerds, she was in Freaks and Geeks.
56
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:01.800
That's like a thousand years ago. So anyway, so the
57
00:03:01.860 --> 00:03:09.219
entire series is basically following Pam Voorhees as she slowly
58
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:15.199
slips into fucking madness. And she, like, and as, like,
59
00:03:16.500 --> 00:03:19.780
Jason is sort of on his way back, kind of, like,
60
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:21.500
you know, and getting to where he needs to be
61
00:03:21.539 --> 00:03:22.979
for the movie series.
62
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:27.000
But it's, like, 95% focused on Pam Voorhees.
63
00:03:30.629 --> 00:03:39.199
Which makes sense, right? Considering the first movie. One, the
64
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:42.219
storytelling is excellent. Because you were super invested in her
65
00:03:42.259 --> 00:03:44.919
story and all that. And they get a little bit
66
00:03:44.979 --> 00:03:47.419
more into why Jason is the way that he is.
67
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:52.020
And some other shit. They are slowly revealing that. Which
68
00:03:52.060 --> 00:03:54.900
is really fascinating. It's not a part of the movie lore.
69
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:56.930
But this is something where they were like, we got
70
00:03:56.939 --> 00:03:58.810
a little bit of space. We could play around with this.
71
00:03:59.289 --> 00:04:04.110
It's actually really fucking interesting. the violence in this show
72
00:04:04.990 --> 00:04:07.330
is fucking top tier.
73
00:04:07.810 -->

00:04:08.530
It's great.
74
00:04:08.830 --> 00:04:11.569
Because I would have thought, oh, okay, like, they're not gonna,
75
00:04:11.789 --> 00:04:12.840
they're not gonna go into it.
76
00:04:13.259 --> 00:04:15.900
Nah, they won't go into it. And, like, because.
77
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.360
This is a streaming show, right? Yeah, this is on Peacock.
78
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:20.620
And, so, yeah, this ain't on regular TV.
79
00:04:20.660 --> 00:04:21.319
They're like, uh-uh.
80
00:04:21.740 --> 00:04:24.879
This is, this is no holds barred. Like, okay, like,
81
00:04:24.899 --> 00:04:27.399
they do whatever the fuck they want. Like, there's a scene,
82
00:04:27.420 --> 00:04:30.199
and I'm not gonna spoil all the violence, because it's
83
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:32.959
definitely worth your time, but there is a scene... where
84
00:04:33.019 --> 00:04:35.259
I thought she was gonna cut someone's head off with
85
00:04:35.300 --> 00:04:40.180
a machete, and they were like, that's too easy. Instead,
86
00:04:41.500 --> 00:04:45.399
the way in which she kills him is, she's being attacked,
87
00:04:45.490 --> 00:04:48.089
so she's not doing anything on purpose at that moment.
88
00:04:49.029 --> 00:04:50.050
It is not what you expect.
89
00:04:50.209 --> 00:04:52.410
And they really show a lot of the, they show
90
00:04:52.529 --> 00:04:54.689
all of the really gruesome shit that happens to people.
91
00:04:56.819 --> 00:04:59.360
And there is just, there is, it starts off super
92
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:01.379
bloody and then it kind of backtracks a little bit
93
00:05:01.420 --> 00:05:03.699
to show you what happened. And then from there it
94
00:05:03.740 --> 00:05:06.600
is off to the fucking races. So like she's constantly
95
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:08.920
dealing with like dealing with this trauma of losing her
96
00:05:08.980 --> 00:05:12.560
son and what that's doing to her mentally. All the
97
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:15.500
while shit is happening in this town and everything else.
98
00:05:16.290 --> 00:05:18.810
It's fucking great. Like it's really, really good. I'm really
99
00:05:18.850 --> 00:05:22.949
having a good time with it. I'm on episode six, um,
100
00:05:23.790 --> 00:05:26.209
And it's only eight episodes for the first season. I
101
00:05:26.230 --> 00:05:28.149
thought this was maybe a limited series. It does not
102
00:05:28.170 --> 00:05:30.910
appear to be. They're going to continue this on, which
103
00:05:30.990 --> 00:05:35.569
is totally fine. And look, shout out to Linda Cardellini.
104
00:05:35.730 --> 00:05:39.180
She's great as Jason's mother. And William Catlett, who plays
105
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.860
Levon Brooks, the black sheriff in this little shit town
106
00:05:42.899 --> 00:05:47.720
in New Jersey. Dude is putting in work. He is
107
00:05:47.740 --> 00:05:50.860
putting in a fucking excellent performance. I just watched a
108
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:53.649
scene right before we came on Like.
109
00:05:53.810 --> 00:05:56.610
I'm like, does he know what show he's on? Like,
110
00:05:56.990 --> 00:05:58.829
this dude is like, I'm trying to win an Emmy.
111
00:05:59.029 --> 00:06:00.529
It's like, I don't know, maybe he should.
112
00:06:00.930 --> 00:06:04.120
Like, him and Linda Carlini, if they're not up for
113
00:06:04.129 --> 00:06:06.839
at least consideration for this show, I would be shocked. Like,
114
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:09.680
they are putting in a great performance, both of them.
115
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:12.660
But everybody's good. And it also takes place in the 70s.
116
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.019
Which works really well for horror shit.
117
00:06:15.300 --> 00:06:17.500
I just feel like it just, because there's no cell
118
00:06:17.540 --> 00:06:20.100
phones or anything to kind of get you out of, like,
119
00:06:20.420 --> 00:06:21.139
bad situations.
120
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:22.579
It's great.
121
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:25.680
Like it deals with all of the classic shit, the
122
00:06:25.699 --> 00:06:28.220
teenagers fucking and all that, like all of that stuff
123
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:29.500
all comes back around.
124
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:30.779
It's excellent.
125
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:32.660
So highly recommend.
126
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:35.740
This is, you know, this is one of those things
127
00:06:35.779 --> 00:06:39.680
where it's like, man, I'm, I'm, this makes so much sense.
128
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:43.149
I'm surprised it hasn't been done before because Jason of,
129
00:06:43.529 --> 00:06:49.410
of the slashers, Jason, you know, given his backstory, it's,
130
00:06:50.149 --> 00:06:52.509
it can be considered tragic, man. Like, and that's why
131
00:06:52.569 --> 00:06:55.889
people root for Jason. I'm guessing you're not going to
132
00:06:55.930 --> 00:06:59.149
get one of these for Freddy Krueger. I'm guessing we're
133
00:06:59.189 --> 00:06:59.990
not going to.
134
00:07:00.009 --> 00:07:03.129
Yeah. You can't really do the whole pedophile thing. Like
135
00:07:03.149 --> 00:07:04.829
a Jeffrey Epstein angle.
136
00:07:04.889 --> 00:07:05.360
Like that's.
137
00:07:05.980 --> 00:07:07.240
And now he's hilarious.
138
00:07:07.300 --> 00:07:10.000
Like, no, no, please don't do that.
139
00:07:12.100 --> 00:07:15.240
Like I could totally see this working for like a
140
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:18.319
Michael Myers type of thing too. But the problem is like,
141
00:07:20.259 --> 00:07:26.290
Michael Myers, like he doesn't, like that situation, I guess
142
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:28.529
it doesn't really get started until he's much older, right?
143
00:07:28.550 --> 00:07:30.850
And then he kind of loses his mind and what
144
00:07:30.870 --> 00:07:34.509
have you and gets institutionalized. But they've kind of done
145
00:07:34.529 --> 00:07:36.129
that a lot in the movies already.
146
00:07:36.149 --> 00:07:41.069
So I don't know. I've never been a Michael Myers guy.
147
00:07:41.089 -->
00:07:47.819
I've always found that he just kind of lacked personality. Right.
148
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:51.540
For a mute who murders people with a knife. Right,
149
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:53.939
as opposed to, you know, a mute who murders people
150
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:56.699
with a machete, but he's got a hockey mask on. Right,
151
00:07:56.750 --> 00:08:01.639
it's like a little bit. You know, and even how.
152
00:08:01.649 --> 00:08:04.509
In fairness, Michael Myers is wearing a William Shatner mask,
153
00:08:04.529 --> 00:08:06.610
which is hilarious in and of itself.
154
00:08:06.649 --> 00:08:10.410
It's pretty funny. So it's, yeah, I've just, the best
155
00:08:10.449 --> 00:08:12.430
thing about Halloween is the theme song for me. I've
156
00:08:12.470 --> 00:08:15.680
never been like a... Yeah, it's a great theme song. But, um...
157
00:08:16.629 --> 00:08:21.110
But okay, look, I've been hearing bits and pieces about this.
158
00:08:21.689 --> 00:08:24.769
And I was always curious as to like, you know,
159
00:08:24.790 --> 00:08:29.730
I love slashers. Slashers are great. But I was worried
160
00:08:29.750 --> 00:08:32.070
that there wouldn't be a lot of slash in it
161
00:08:33.570 --> 00:08:35.610
because it's a prequel.
162
00:08:35.909 --> 00:08:37.070
So here's the thing.
163
00:08:37.230 --> 00:08:41.549
What I would argue is probably every episode you get
164
00:08:41.830 --> 00:08:44.460
one to two violent moments, right?
165
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:48.820
But the story is so good. Like, you're satiated from that.
166
00:08:48.860 --> 00:08:52.559
Like, the Friday the 13th movies aren't particularly the best
167
00:08:52.659 --> 00:08:55.100
of storytelling, so you're like, just fucking kill people.
168
00:08:55.139 --> 00:08:56.230
Like, come on, just get to it.
169
00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:58.899
Just fucking get to it, right? This, you're engrossed in
170
00:08:58.940 --> 00:09:02.740
the story, and this shit happens, you're like, oh, damn. Like,
171
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:05.539
there is a scene in, I want to say, like,
172
00:09:05.570 --> 00:09:08.809
the third or fourth episode where you don't see this
173
00:09:08.889 --> 00:09:09.649
kill coming.
174
00:09:11.049 --> 00:09:13.090
Like, it's a great misdirection, and when it happens.
175
00:09:13.110 --> 00:09:14.990
You're like, fuck.
176
00:09:15.289 --> 00:09:19.720
Like God damn dude. Like they really are like, Hey, um,
177
00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:22.559
did you miss the part that this happened? Let's focus
178
00:09:22.580 --> 00:09:25.970
the camera so you can see up close how.
179
00:09:25.769 --> 00:09:26.789
Gruesome this shit is.
180
00:09:26.950 --> 00:09:29.450
And you're like, all right, if you're into that, which
181
00:09:29.789 --> 00:09:33.419
I am, um, You'll like it. Now, here's a very
182
00:09:33.460 --> 00:09:35.200
weird thing about this series. It's not so much the
183
00:09:35.220 --> 00:09:38.059
series in and of itself, but who developed this series?
184
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:42.340
This is Bradley Caleb Kane, is the developer of this series.
185
00:09:42.740 --> 00:09:44.279
He's the singing voice.
186
00:09:44.179 --> 00:09:46.830
In all of the Aladdin movies. For Aladdin.
187
00:09:48.009 --> 00:09:52.090
Which is hilarious. But he's also a writer and a showrunner.
188
00:09:52.370 --> 00:09:57.309
But here's some things that he wrote. He wrote on Fringe, Warrior,
189
00:09:57.350 --> 00:10:00.669
if you've never seen Warrior, that's a super violent action show.
190
00:10:01.009 --> 00:10:01.590
You should watch it.
191
00:10:01.889 --> 00:10:05.360
Tokyo Vice, which was fucking excellent. It, Welcome to Deary,
192
00:10:05.700 --> 00:10:09.059
and now this. And this is the first series he's
193
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:12.879
developed himself. So, yeah, if you want to watch the
194
00:10:13.019 --> 00:10:15.759
singing voice for Aladdin make a horror series that is
195
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:16.840
pretty goddamn engaging.
196
00:10:17.659 --> 00:10:18.019
Here you go.
197
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:23.490
So, alright yeah man it's good I would argue horror
198
00:10:23.509 --> 00:10:25.700
fans you should check this out I think you will
199
00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:30.100
like it it's a really fun film alright and of
200
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:33.580
course Vision Quest let's talk about it this is episode
201
00:10:33.580 --> 00:10:39.580
5 and 6 and then the next two episodes 7
202
00:10:39.580 --> 00:10:43.340
and 8 are released one per week so just keep
203
00:10:43.379 --> 00:10:45.440
that in mind you're not getting 7 and 8 next
204
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.639
week what did you think of 5 and 6 overall.
205
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:53.590
Uh, 10 out of 10. I thought they were, uh, great.
206
00:10:54.870 --> 00:11:00.070
I can't, um, I, you know, we're going to talk
207
00:11:00.110 --> 00:11:02.850
about them later, but it, it always amazed. You can
208
00:11:02.889 --> 00:11:08.529
always tell like people who find acting as a passion
209
00:11:08.649 --> 00:11:12.070
and not just a job, uh, because they're able to
210
00:11:12.210 --> 00:11:19.159
make the most ridiculous shit feel compelling. Yes. And, um, And,
211
00:11:19.580 --> 00:11:23.919
you know, look, everyone does an excellent job in this series.
212
00:11:24.779 --> 00:11:29.830
But Jesus Christ, man, James Spader is amazing. And Tania
213
00:11:29.909 --> 00:11:35.330
Miller is outstanding. And the scenes, one, I think episode
214
00:11:35.389 --> 00:11:40.629
five was the one where James Spader was playing off
215
00:11:40.649 --> 00:11:43.090
of James Spader, playing off of James Spader, playing off
216
00:11:43.110 --> 00:11:46.179
of James Spader, right? Like Ultron had broken his psyche
217
00:11:46.299 --> 00:11:50.149
up into five different personalities. And it was just... Like,
218
00:11:50.190 --> 00:11:52.210
this guy is just chewing all the scenery, man.
219
00:11:52.870 --> 00:11:54.110
He
dominates every scene he's in.
220
00:11:54.929 --> 00:11:57.309
He does, man. He does. Like, it makes me want
221
00:11:57.350 --> 00:11:59.720
to go back and re-watch Age of Ultron.
222
00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:00.500
Yeah.
223
00:12:00.580 --> 00:12:05.159
A movie that was not bad, but, like, he was
224
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:08.740
the best part in it. Yeah.
225
00:12:08.820 --> 00:12:09.320
No, it's funny.
226
00:12:09.620 --> 00:12:12.639
I've seen people say, like, Vision Quest is so good
227
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:16.080
that it is retroactively making Age of Ultron a better movie.
228
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:19.840
I'm like... I mean, honestly... It does.
229
00:12:20.460 --> 00:12:22.220
I think people had kind of a hard-on for shitting
230
00:12:22.259 --> 00:12:24.080
on that movie, but it wasn't.
231
00:12:23.830 --> 00:12:27.159
A bad movie. That movie wasn't bad, man. It wasn't
232
00:12:27.179 --> 00:12:32.049
a bad movie. It just... It was fine. Quite frankly,
233
00:12:32.090 --> 00:12:37.649
we needed more movies with Avengers avenging and shit. Yeah.
234
00:12:37.690 --> 00:12:40.929
So I was hoping that they wouldn't... I mean, they
235
00:12:40.950 --> 00:12:44.649
immediately broke them up, but that's neither here nor there. Look,
236
00:12:44.929 --> 00:12:47.610
James Spader was the best part of that movie, and
237
00:12:47.710 --> 00:12:55.480
he is... one of the best parts of this show. And, um, look,
238
00:12:55.500 --> 00:13:01.230
Tania Miller is, uh, absolutely outstanding. The thing is that
239
00:13:01.269 --> 00:13:06.789
those two have are, are some of the best I've seen. Period.
240
00:13:07.110 --> 00:13:09.929
We were talking about last week. In the MCU. In
241
00:13:09.970 --> 00:13:11.309
the MCU. All of it.
242
00:13:11.539 --> 00:13:14.179
Like, they're acting as fucking stellar, dude.
243
00:13:14.299 --> 00:13:17.980
Holy shit. We were talking about, we were talking about, um,
244
00:13:19.460 --> 00:13:24.539
the idea of like Steven Soderbergh, because he's coming in
245
00:13:24.580 --> 00:13:26.659
to help finish the Batman too. We were talking about
246
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:29.529
the idea of Steven Soderbergh just doing comic book shit.
247
00:13:30.149 --> 00:13:33.490
Well, here it is. Here it is.
248
00:13:33.809 --> 00:13:39.549
Here's two grown adults acting their fucking ass off and
249
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:43.059
they're doing it with passion and they're doing it like
250
00:13:43.299 --> 00:13:47.429
flirty and it's sexy without being like, like people think
251
00:13:47.549 --> 00:13:50.529
sexy and they think yeah they think porn like nah
252
00:13:50.740 --> 00:13:54.179
you know like like just just listening to those two
253
00:13:54.259 --> 00:13:57.159
talk is just like wow this is amazing this is
254
00:13:57.179 --> 00:13:58.059
amazing like.
255
00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:00.460
Why and and why am i feeling the this way
256
00:14:00.500 --> 00:14:04.080
in my pants watching these two
robots talking right.
257
00:14:03.820 --> 00:14:06.399
Right right right it's.
258
00:14:06.330 --> 00:14:10.470
Amazing Watching this 60-year-old man and this 40-year-old woman just
259
00:14:10.610 --> 00:14:14.389
intellectually fuck each other is turning me the fuck on.
260
00:14:14.429 --> 00:14:16.590
That's what it is.
261
00:14:16.610 --> 00:14:21.710
That's what it is. That's exactly right. There's no other
262
00:14:21.750 --> 00:14:22.350
way to say that.
263
00:14:22.370 --> 00:14:24.429
But they are. They're intellectually fucking each other. And you're
264
00:14:24.470 --> 00:14:26.990
just like, I'm riveted. I can't believe they're putting this
265
00:14:27.070 --> 00:14:32.159
on Disney Plus without a warning. It's amazing how good
266
00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:32.539
they are.
267
00:14:32.740 --> 00:14:33.460
It's amazing.
268
00:14:33.940 --> 00:14:40.019
Yeah, and given the abstract nature of the show and
269
00:14:40.100 --> 00:14:44.820
how they have to translate these high-minded concepts into things
270
00:14:44.860 --> 00:14:50.919
that you can understand, like AI and a mind palace. Yeah,
271
00:14:51.070 --> 00:14:56.029
I thought that was fun. And they're doing it. They're
272
00:14:56.490 --> 00:15:01.889
transposing these very technical, high-minded concepts into in just the
273
00:15:01.929 --> 00:15:06.470
most simple of ways that the juxtaposition is not lost
274
00:15:06.529 --> 00:15:08.750
on me, and I think it's beautiful, right? They can't
275
00:15:08.850 --> 00:15:12.299
go to the Louvre, right? They can't film in the Louvre,
276
00:15:12.659 --> 00:15:17.639
but here they are in this mental mind palace, and.
277
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:19.620
It's like a play.
278
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:24.330
It's like they're on stage. That entire interaction was a play.
279
00:15:25.110 --> 00:15:25.389
It was.
280
00:15:25.789 --> 00:15:27.690
It felt like a play just in the way in
281
00:15:27.730 --> 00:15:29.789
which they interact. Plays have a very.
282
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:33.919
They have a rhythm in the way people speak that
283
00:15:33.990 --> 00:15:35.610
is very different than a movie or a television show.
284
00:15:35.950 --> 00:15:37.549
And that's exactly what that scene felt like.
285
00:15:38.309 --> 00:15:43.870
Yeah. Yeah, man. I just... I love this stuff. I love... Like,
286
00:15:43.909 --> 00:15:46.879
I'm at this point in my life where I, like...
287
00:15:48.500 --> 00:15:51.340
You know, I'm an old man. And I like... Like,
288
00:15:51.419 --> 00:15:56.000
that stuff is... like acting, acting, you know what I mean?
289
00:15:56.139 --> 00:15:58.820
And I, I dig it, man. I dig it. It's just,
290
00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:02.340
it's not like, you know, it's not Shakespeare, but like,
291
00:16:03.620 --> 00:16:06.429
you know, Shakespeare back in his day was trash. That
292
00:16:06.450 --> 00:16:09.850
shit was, that shit was salacious. It was, it was,
293
00:16:09.970 --> 00:16:11.409
it was, it was a bunch of, it was like,
294
00:16:11.889 --> 00:16:13.110
it was like my stories.
295
00:16:14.830 --> 00:16:17.960
It was, it was supermarket smut on stage is all
296
00:16:18.129 --> 00:16:19.100
what it was considered.
297
00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:22.820
It was lowbrow. Um, which is why, I mean, Macbeth rocks.
298
00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:29.019
Um, Look, I've never seen Tania Miller in anything, and
299
00:16:29.100 --> 00:16:32.159
I'm looking at her Wikipedia page. I've never seen the
300
00:16:32.179 --> 00:16:33.639
show Sex Education on Netflix.
301
00:16:33.940 --> 00:16:34.639
But I'm going to watch it.
302
00:16:35.019 --> 00:16:38.740
Because, yo, that woman is a vibe. When people talk
303
00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:43.299
about that, she is. God damn. I guess what is
304
00:16:43.700 --> 00:16:46.679
so impressive to me is, I agree, taking these high-minded
305
00:16:46.700 --> 00:16:50.039
concepts and breaking them down so regular Joes like us
306
00:16:50.070 --> 00:16:53.649
can understand what you're talking about, but I think there
307
00:16:53.750 --> 00:16:57.059
is a sense, like, there was always this, what I
308
00:16:57.539 --> 00:17:00.980
thought was the dumbest fucking criticism of the MCU was like,
309
00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:02.799
the MCU.
310
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:04.960
Doesn't have any sex in it. I'm like, it's for kids.
311
00:17:05.579 --> 00:17:07.140
I don't know if you guys know that. Yeah.
312
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:10.769
Like, it's for 16-year-olds, but we watch it because we're
313
00:17:10.849 --> 00:17:12.509
all a bit immature and we like.
314
00:17:12.369 --> 00:17:15.150
It, but it's for kids, okay? Yeah, it's for kids.
315
00:17:15.349 --> 00:17:19.069
It's for kids. Like, why aren't they fucking, why aren't they.
316
00:17:18.970 --> 00:17:21.269
Fucking on a Barney cartoon? What is this question? It's
317
00:17:21.329 --> 00:17:21.789
very weird.
318
00:17:22.259 --> 00:17:24.220
You have a crack up on a comic book? It's
319
00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:27.059
not exactly like just seeing bare ass in it all
320
00:17:27.099 --> 00:17:27.460
the time.
321
00:17:28.380 --> 00:17:33.670
Again, for 16-year-olds, that's generally the middle of the demographic
322
00:17:33.710 --> 00:17:38.130
they're shooting for. But there is that sense of it's
323
00:17:38.190 --> 00:17:40.150
not adult enough. It's what they really mean to say.
324
00:17:40.390 --> 00:17:42.529
Stop saying sex because it doesn't make any sense. It's
325
00:17:42.569 --> 00:17:47.369
not adult enough for you. Okay, that's fine. This is
326
00:17:47.950 --> 00:17:52.940
what the adult aspects of the MCU should feel like. Like, again,
327
00:17:52.980 --> 00:17:54.390
it doesn't need to be like, oh, look at this
328
00:17:54.410 --> 00:17:55.630
person without the shirt on or, you.
329
00:17:55.589 --> 00:17:56.809
Know, the midriff or whatever.
330
00:17:57.410 --> 00:17:59.769
This is the thing when you talk about the sort
331
00:17:59.789
--> 00:18:01.349
of the adultification of some of this stuff.
332
00:18:02.029 --> 00:18:02.490
This is it.
333
00:18:02.809 --> 00:18:08.619
Because you have these two characters. They're bonding over. You
334
00:18:08.660 --> 00:18:10.980
and I talked about this offline. Like, they're bonding over
335
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:14.500
the idea of, like, is humanity worth preserving?
336
00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:18.299
Like, I don't really think so.
337
00:18:18.579 --> 00:18:21.549
But, like, let's intellectually fuck each other over this.
338
00:18:21.589 --> 00:18:27.579
Right. And so, like, they deserve all the credit in
339
00:18:27.619 --> 00:18:31.160
the world for coming up with this concept, performing this
340
00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:32.839
in the way that it is. And look, I'm going
341
00:18:32.859 --> 00:18:34.960
to tell you right now, I know in acting classes,
342
00:18:35.009 --> 00:18:38.230
a lot of times they take famous moments of dialogue
343
00:18:38.269 --> 00:18:39.750
and people try to perform those.
344
00:18:40.190 --> 00:18:40.690
Do this.
345
00:18:41.349 --> 00:18:43.769
If you are a young actor and you think you
346
00:18:43.809 --> 00:18:46.869
can pull this off with a, if you're a male actor,
347
00:18:47.890 --> 00:18:51.829
find a woman to work off of this particular dialogue,
348
00:18:51.970 --> 00:18:54.609
because this is fucking top tier.
349
00:18:54.809 --> 00:18:56.210
Like the way this is written is top tier.
350
00:18:56.569 --> 00:18:59.410
I don't know how much of this is like James
351
00:18:59.450 --> 00:19:01.529
Spader kind of, you know, maybe like just kind of
352
00:19:01.650 --> 00:19:05.200
riffing and to, uh, to Nia Miller riffing or whatever.
353
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:06.619
I don't know.
354
00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:07.509
It doesn't feel like it.
355
00:19:07.660 --> 00:19:10.920
It feels so like perfectly set up that it would
356
00:19:10.940 --> 00:19:13.500
be written, but it feels like their voices so much
357
00:19:13.859 --> 00:19:17.400
that I could see some of it just being kind of, um, being,
358
00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:19.309
you know, being, uh, like off the cuff.
359
00:19:20.230 --> 00:19:20.549
I don't know.
360
00:19:20.869 --> 00:19:21.349
It's excellent.
361
00:19:22.349 --> 00:19:24.430
Look, I will give credit to the writers of these
362
00:19:24.470 --> 00:19:32.220
two episodes, Christopher Monfette and Nicole Falsetti. They wrote five
363
00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:40.680
and six respectively. Look, man, and Terry Matalas is the showrunner. Look, man,
364
00:19:41.220 --> 00:19:45.930
kudos to everybody involved, man. If you were to tell me,
365
00:19:47.369 --> 00:19:50.609
how long has this thing been around? 15 years now? Yeah.
366
00:19:51.230 --> 00:19:53.650
Something like that? Almost 20 years? If you were to
367
00:19:53.710 --> 00:19:57.069
tell me that one of your favorite things about this
368
00:19:57.109 --> 00:20:01.809
whole MCU experiment is going to be about Wanda Maximoff
369
00:20:02.309 --> 00:20:06.049
and Vision, and they're going to have TV shows that
370
00:20:06.069 --> 00:20:08.890
are going to be some of the best things in this. Man,
371
00:20:08.930 --> 00:20:11.069
get the fuck out of here. Get the fuck out
372
00:20:11.089 --> 00:20:11.250
of here.
373
00:20:11.369 --> 00:20:13.640
Yeah, I'd never believe you. I would have never believed you.
374
00:20:13.670 --> 00:20:15.509
And sure as shit. Oh, really? Vision has a lot
375
00:20:15.529 --> 00:20:16.349
of interesting things to say?
376
00:20:16.630 --> 00:20:19.150
He's a dumb robot who can phase.
377
00:20:19.230 --> 00:20:21.490
Who cares? Well, yeah, it turns out we should care.
378
00:20:22.890 --> 00:20:25.819
And more importantly, a kind of a throwaway villain in
379
00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:29.500
Ultron is, you know, just one of the most eloquent
380
00:20:29.539 --> 00:20:32.460
characters in the entire MCU, if not the most.
381
00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:33.160
Eloquent, to be honest.
382
00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:39.890
Yeah, look, Terry Metallus is going to... direct the last two.
383
00:20:40.470 --> 00:20:42.529
Like you said, he's the showrunner. I'm looking forward to
384
00:20:42.549 --> 00:20:46.450
that to see what he does. He actually wrote the
385
00:20:46.490 --> 00:20:48.559
last episode, too. So it'll be interesting.
386
00:20:49.500 --> 00:20:50.460
He wrote in.
387
00:20:50.900 --> 00:20:53.859
He didn't direct, but he wrote the first episode and
388
00:20:54.259 --> 00:20:58.680
the second episode. So it'll be interesting to see what
389
00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:01.619
he does with that final episode where he's the guy
390
00:21:01.700 --> 00:21:02.400
doing the whole thing.
391
00:21:02.420 --> 00:21:06.299
Yeah, I don't know what the fuck to tell you, man.
392
00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:06.559
There is.
393
00:21:08.369 --> 00:21:13.109
Outside of the Jocasta, um, Ultron stuff, all the other
394
00:21:13.130 --> 00:21:15.970
stuff is actually pretty interesting too, which, you know, we
395
00:21:15.990 --> 00:21:20.390
get to see, you know, their sort of plan ultimately
396
00:21:20.430 --> 00:21:23.259
come together, which is like making humans into robots to
397
00:21:23.299 --> 00:21:26.420
control them, which is a very AI conversation to, to
398
00:21:26.460 --> 00:21:26.799
be had.
399
00:21:27.259 --> 00:21:33.140
Yeah. It's wild. It's, it's wild because, you know, they
400
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:37.789
are two sides. They're the opposite side of the same coin. Uh,
401
00:21:38.970 --> 00:21:44.460
Ultron and Jocasta. Whereas Ultron is like a cold, unfeeling
402
00:21:44.900 --> 00:21:50.240
robot that is so enamored with humanity that, at least
403
00:21:50.299 --> 00:21:54.789
in this series, he's trying to figure out, like, he's
404
00:21:54.910 --> 00:21:59.970
inching towards being more human. And Jocasta is a human
405
00:22:00.029 --> 00:22:03.730
who was, you know, whose human mind was placed into
406
00:22:03.750 --> 00:22:11.069
a robot. a synth or whatever. And she's like, I
407
00:22:11.109 --> 00:22:14.930
want to get back to my humanity from the... It's
408
00:22:15.069 --> 00:22:17.329
wild that the two of them are coming together and
409
00:22:17.349 --> 00:22:19.829
they're meeting in the middle. And what is meeting in
410
00:22:19.849 --> 00:22:25.589
the middle? Okay, let's not eradicate humanity, but let's use them.
411
00:22:25.769 --> 00:22:29.789
Let's make them like us. Let's control them. And just...
412
00:22:30.130 --> 00:22:39.480
Now look, traditionally, Jocasta is... the one who turns on Ultron. Always.
413
00:22:39.700 --> 00:22:47.710
Always has, right? Right. I don't think that... I think
414
00:22:47.769 --> 00:22:49.609
that this show is going to spin that a bit.
415
00:22:50.390 --> 00:22:55.069
I don't think that Jocasta will be redeemed. No. I
416
00:22:55.150 --> 00:23:01.089
think if anyone has a crisis of conscience, it will
417
00:23:01.130 --> 00:23:07.539
be Ultron. Yeah. If... They could just be the big
418
00:23:07.579 --> 00:23:10.119
power couple and Vision's got to just do what he's
419
00:23:10.140 --> 00:23:14.559
got to do to take them out. I don't know, man.
420
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:19.220
It's exciting. I'm very, very....
421
00:23:21.549 --> 00:23:24.130
This show is really good, man. This show is really good.
422
00:23:24.490 --> 00:23:26.690
It's even better than I thought it would be. I'll
423
00:23:26.710 --> 00:23:28.609
be honest with you. I figured it would probably be
424
00:23:28.630 --> 00:23:31.470
pretty good just because I thought WandaVision was pretty good,
425
00:23:31.869 --> 00:23:36.900
but no. And I did not think it would exceed WandaVision.
426
00:23:37.259 --> 00:23:40.819
It has easily. Easily. Yeah. After Agatha all along, I
427
00:23:40.819 --> 00:23:42.160
was like, I don't know if I want to stay
428
00:23:42.819 --> 00:23:46.289
in this world. You know what I mean? Right. It
429
00:23:46.329 --> 00:23:48.609
just doesn't. And I know Agatha all along is very
430
00:23:48.690 --> 00:23:54.849
different from WandaVision and this. But, you know, I just,
431
00:23:56.130 --> 00:24:00.390
I didn't have faith in this show. And it turns
432
00:24:00.500 --> 00:24:03.299
out whenever I don't have faith in something, It ends
433
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:06.640
up being some of the best shit ever. Yeah.
434
00:24:07.940 --> 00:24:11.210
Look, again, I wasn't necessarily writing it off, but I
435
00:24:11.250 --> 00:24:14.130
was certainly not like, oh, it's going to be amazing.
436
00:24:14.269 --> 00:24:15.269
I was just like, all right, it's trying to look
437
00:24:15.289 --> 00:24:19.250
pretty cool. All right, let's watch it. I was like, oh, shit.
438
00:24:19.329 --> 00:24:23.869
They are really trying and succeeding. So, look, I think
439
00:24:23.910 --> 00:24:27.990
it's great. What I'm interested in is that idea that
440
00:24:28.009 --> 00:24:31.890
you mentioned of Ultron– you know, potentially betraying Jocasta, which
441
00:24:31.930 --> 00:24:34.329
I think is what's going to happen. I think that
442
00:24:34.349 --> 00:24:36.789
the avenue in which that happens is the more he
443
00:24:37.150 --> 00:24:40.069
becomes human, the more he's going to realize like humans
444
00:24:40.089 --> 00:24:42.890
have flaws, but there is something about them that.
445
00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:44.339
Is unique and is worth saving.
446
00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:46.619
When Jocasta is going to get to the point, because
447
00:24:46.660 --> 00:24:49.039
she said, even though she wants to get back to
448
00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:52.279
her humanity, she says she's feeling less human every day, right?
449
00:24:53.019 --> 00:24:53.980
In this robotic body.
450
00:24:54.339 --> 00:24:57.259
I think she's going to, like, that's where they're going,
451
00:24:57.339 --> 00:24:59.059
is they're going actually in the opposite direction.
452
00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:00.759
Like, they're trying to meet in the middle, and I
453
00:25:00.779 --> 00:25:01.359
think they're going to pass.
454
00:25:01.380 --> 00:25:02.579
They're going to meet, and then they're going to pass.
455
00:25:02.619 --> 00:25:04.619
Pass each other, right. And I think Ultron is going
456
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:07.990
to be like, oh, shit. Wait a minute.
457
00:25:08.250 --> 00:25:13.210
Actually, I think that these guys are, maybe there's something here. Like,
458
00:25:13.329 --> 00:25:15.549
I still don't fuck with them, but maybe I don't
459
00:25:15.769 --> 00:25:18.950
destroy the entire planet, you know. And I also think,
460
00:25:19.049 --> 00:25:20.630
at the end of the day, I don't think Ultron
461
00:25:20.650 --> 00:25:24.150
gets destroyed. Maybe his body does, but I think they're
462
00:25:24.170 --> 00:25:27.799
just going to be like, somehow he escapes. Because, yo,
463
00:25:27.859 --> 00:25:30.660
throwing away James Spader is crazy. I think it's crazy.
464
00:25:30.859 --> 00:25:33.619
I think it'd be crazy to do that. And he
465
00:25:33.660 --> 00:25:34.359
looks like he's happy.
466
00:25:34.380 --> 00:25:40.000
I mean, they could do... That's what's important. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
467
00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:42.519
I know he did the motion capture for Age of Ultron.
468
00:25:42.819 --> 00:25:46.579
He don't got to do that. Just let James Spader
469
00:25:46.619 --> 00:25:49.069
come in, read that shit off a piece of paper,
470
00:25:49.190 --> 00:25:50.029
and fucking crush it.
471
00:25:50.730 --> 00:25:55.000
Move the mouth so it matches. Look, he's an old man.
472
00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:55.559
Let him be.
473
00:25:56.359 --> 00:25:58.160
Look, he's going to fucking deliver. He ain't got to
474
00:25:58.200 --> 00:26:00.099
walk around in the fucking little skinny suit.
475
00:26:00.420 --> 00:26:00.940
Knock it off.
476
00:26:01.099 --> 00:26:02.599
He don't want to do that shit. You can tell
477
00:26:02.619 --> 00:26:03.920
he don't want to.
That's why he's like, can I
478
00:26:03.940 --> 00:26:05.380
just be in regular clothes? Cool.
479
00:26:05.960 --> 00:26:08.430
Yeah, just let him do that. It's fine.
480
00:26:08.970 --> 00:26:12.309
But the idea of Ultron being just tossed away as
481
00:26:12.369 --> 00:26:15.289
a villain, I can't imagine, dude.
482
00:26:15.430 --> 00:26:18.990
I can't imagine. I can't imagine. That feels crazy to me.
483
00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:21.690
I mean, he could be in one of the upcoming
484
00:26:21.730 --> 00:26:25.309
Avengers movies, as we know what happens in those to
485
00:26:25.329 --> 00:26:27.410
some degree. Like, there's no reason he couldn't be there
486
00:26:28.329 --> 00:26:29.150
in some capacity.
487
00:26:29.210 --> 00:26:31.849
I think it would be fun. So, we'll see. Yeah.
488
00:26:31.910 --> 00:26:35.259
Also, yeah, we went to Madripoor, which, that's cool.
489
00:26:35.460 --> 00:26:39.359
Like, second time in a TV series, which really sets
490
00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:42.119
up that that is a place that is a living,
491
00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:43.400
breathing place inside the MCU.
492
00:26:43.420 --> 00:26:46.509
Which is good. Madripoor was getting a lot. Madripoor was
493
00:26:47.369 --> 00:26:50.930
a location in that new Wolverine game. You go to
494
00:26:50.990 --> 00:26:55.089
it twice, as a matter of fact. So Madripoor getting
495
00:26:55.109 --> 00:26:56.369
some love. Yeah.
496
00:26:56.450 --> 00:26:58.490
I mean, Madripoor is a big– and that was sort
497
00:26:58.509 --> 00:27:00.250
of the reference I was making. They have a big,
498
00:27:00.750 --> 00:27:06.009
big connection to Wolverine. So if you're establishing that as
499
00:27:06.049 --> 00:27:12.069
a place, you know, the Miles Isley of– or Mons
500
00:27:12.190 --> 00:27:16.180
Isley of the MCU, that's– Like, yeah, just a bunch
501
00:27:16.220 --> 00:27:16.799
of scumbags.
502
00:27:17.740 --> 00:27:20.119
Yeah, good. Works for me. All right.
503
00:27:21.269 --> 00:27:24.990
Topics this week. It's an unfortunate start.
504
00:27:25.130 --> 00:27:30.509
Yeah, it's very, very sad news. Sir Patrick Stewart passed
505
00:27:30.549 --> 00:27:39.190
away very recently. Yes, sir. Listen, Patrick Stewart is one
506
00:27:39.210 --> 00:27:42.309
of those people that I think, at least for me,
507
00:27:43.329 --> 00:27:47.509
we kind of took for granted. That's true. Because he's
508
00:27:47.569 --> 00:27:51.690
always kind of looked the same for, you know, ever
509
00:27:51.730 --> 00:27:57.410
since we saw him. I saw him first in 87.
510
00:27:57.470 --> 00:28:00.859
And he's always kind of, you know, looked the same.
511
00:28:01.319 --> 00:28:03.660
Before that, dude, he was in Dune in 84. He
512
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:05.599
was in Dune. Yeah, he was in Dune. I didn't
513
00:28:05.619 --> 00:28:08.500
see Dune when I was four, but... And he was
514
00:28:08.519 --> 00:28:15.180
an Excalibur as well. There you go. Excalibur. I... I'm
515
00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:17.119
more of a science fiction person, which is why I
516
00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:24.180
saw him in Star Trek first. And listen, Patrick Stewart was,
517
00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:30.259
you'll see a bunch of tributes going around because Patrick
518
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:33.819
Stewart was that type of guy. He was like Dolly
519
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:38.589
Parton in that everyone loved him because he was a
520
00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:44.589
good person first and a good actor, a phenomenal actor second.
521
00:28:46.930 --> 00:28:53.289
we all know his run as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in
522
00:28:53.329 --> 00:28:57.890
Star Trek Next Generation, who was a very, very different
523
00:28:57.930 --> 00:29:06.819
captain than Captain Kirk. Oh yeah, 100%. And he, Gene Roddenberry,
524
00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:10.710
who is creator of Star Trek, very protective of Star Trek,
525
00:29:11.049 --> 00:29:16.809
was not convinced about Patrick Stewart. uh, when he, yeah, he, he,
526
00:29:16.950 --> 00:29:20.329
he wasn't really convinced. Uh, and that Patrick Stewart fucking
527
00:29:20.809 --> 00:29:22.809
killed it out. He knocked it out of the park
528
00:29:23.569 --> 00:29:25.029
and it was like, all right, this is my, this
529
00:29:25.049 --> 00:29:28.130
is my guy for this new generation. And his Picard,
530
00:29:28.309 --> 00:29:31.910
his captain is very different in that, you know, captain
531
00:29:31.950 --> 00:29:34.869
Kirk was always like a, he, captain Kirk was a
532
00:29:34.890 --> 00:29:37.509
space cowboy. Yeah. He was, he was a cowboy, right?
533
00:29:37.569 --> 00:29:42.250
He was, he was like the, the, the old school
534
00:29:42.490 --> 00:29:47.569
you know machismo kind of you know.
535
00:29:46.690 --> 00:29:49.140
He was the hal jordan of his uh of his
536
00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:50.460
uh series.
537
00:29:50.579 --> 00:29:58.000
Like yeah yeah he was and um and he and,
538
00:29:58.220 --> 00:30:01.539
and Jean-Luc Picard was the opposite. He was, he was
539
00:30:01.799 --> 00:30:07.630
very dignified and, and he solved problems through diplomacy, right?
540
00:30:07.650 --> 00:30:10.210
He wasn't trying to punch nobody. Cause Patrick Stewart was
541
00:30:10.250 --> 00:30:16.710
like 47, 48 when he started Star Trek. That's crazy. Right. Like,
542
00:30:16.730 --> 00:30:18.710
that's crazy, man. Like he ain't, you know, he ain't,
543
00:30:19.140 --> 00:30:20.819
he ain't trying to, he ain't trying to throw down.
544
00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:22.299
You know what I mean?
545
00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:27.779
He's not, he's not Cisco on, uh, on, um, The
546
00:30:27.819 --> 00:30:29.539
other Star Trek show, he was punching people.
547
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:31.289
That show was amazing. Right.
548
00:30:31.380 --> 00:30:32.220
He didn't give a fuck.
549
00:30:32.700 --> 00:30:37.170
So, yeah, his, like, I might do, I was thinking
550
00:30:37.190 --> 00:30:39.950
about doing a rewatch of Next Generation. No, it's a
551
00:30:40.029 --> 00:30:44.369
while to watch that now. It looks amazing. Look, I've never,
552
00:30:44.470 --> 00:30:46.849
I like Star Trek, but I've never been, like, a Trekkie,
553
00:30:47.049 --> 00:30:51.009
like a Star Trek person, right? Like, it's TNG, and
554
00:30:51.069 --> 00:30:53.650
that's it. I don't really care for the other stuff. Oh,
555
00:30:53.670 --> 00:30:56.589
I love the original. I love the original. I watched
556
00:30:56.769 --> 00:31:01.589
most of TNG, and then I watched pretty much all
557
00:31:01.630 --> 00:31:02.430
of Deep Space Nine.
558
00:31:04.589 --> 00:31:07.869
But I wouldn't classify myself as a Trekkie.
559
00:31:07.950 --> 00:31:12.170
People were like, on episode three, relax. No, no, I
560
00:31:12.190 --> 00:31:14.650
just like this stuff. And I watched some of Voyager,
561
00:31:14.670 --> 00:31:21.950
which was not great. And we also know him you know,
562
00:31:21.970 --> 00:31:23.569
if you're listening to this podcast, you know him as
563
00:31:23.589 --> 00:31:26.579
Jean-Luc Picard and you also know him as Professor Charles Xavier.
564
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:32.430
Now look, I remember reading Wizard Magazine back in the 90s.
565
00:31:33.339 --> 00:31:35.640
And I don't know if you remember Wizard Magazine. They had,
566
00:31:35.980 --> 00:31:39.140
they always would do like casting. Like who would be,
567
00:31:39.359 --> 00:31:42.700
who would you cast in this movie, right? And it
568
00:31:42.740 --> 00:31:46.140
was all these, you know, the contemporary stars of the day.
569
00:31:46.839 --> 00:31:55.019
But Charles Xavier was always fan-casted as Patrick Stewart, right? Yeah, perfect. Like,
570
00:31:56.240 --> 00:31:59.789
he is so entwined to that character that people think
571
00:31:59.849 --> 00:32:02.789
Charles Xavier is British. He is not.
572
00:32:02.970 --> 00:32:03.609
They're right.
573
00:32:03.670 --> 00:32:08.859
Charles Xavier. Charles Xavier is from New York, like every
574
00:32:08.940 --> 00:32:12.180
other fucking X-Men or Marvel character.
575
00:32:12.500 --> 00:32:16.069
Yeah, like, even when they redid it, with the younger cast,
576
00:32:16.369 --> 00:32:17.549
they put a British dude in.
577
00:32:17.549 --> 00:32:19.269
They're like, do you want me to change it? I'm like, no,
578
00:32:19.329 --> 00:32:20.569
I'm just saying, you're.
579
00:32:21.990 --> 00:32:26.420
British. What? Why? Like, that is his, that is the
580
00:32:26.559 --> 00:32:32.079
mark that that man left on an already established, like,
581
00:32:32.140 --> 00:32:33.500
comic book franchise. Right.
582
00:32:33.900 --> 00:32:34.619
That's so funny.
583
00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:35.019
I didn't know.
584
00:32:35.930 --> 00:32:37.630
I never really thought about that but like yeah they
585
00:32:37.650 --> 00:32:39.910
just were like hey you're British just like Kano is
586
00:32:39.970 --> 00:32:44.319
Australian now by like because of that movie because they
587
00:32:44.339 --> 00:32:46.940
cast an Australian dude to be Kano.
588
00:32:49.500 --> 00:32:55.519
So and look he accepted this role because you know
589
00:32:55.579 --> 00:32:57.839
he read the script and Bryan Singer was talking to
590
00:32:57.880 --> 00:33:01.730
him and he was explaining to him what the ethos
591
00:33:02.009 --> 00:33:05.779
of the X-Men are right that X-Men are is about
592
00:33:06.359 --> 00:33:12.779
marginalized communities having to fight oppression, right? And he signed
593
00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:15.500
up for it based on that. And that's why he
594
00:33:15.539 --> 00:33:17.890
still does it. That's why he doesn't mind coming back
595
00:33:17.950 --> 00:33:23.549
to do this. Because Sir Patrick Stewart was the coolest
596
00:33:23.589 --> 00:33:29.109
motherfucker that you will ever know, right? He was, he was,
597
00:33:29.910 --> 00:33:31.450
he grew up in a hard, he grew up in
598
00:33:31.519 --> 00:33:37.819
a hard, time, right? His dad would, was, was beating
599
00:33:37.859 --> 00:33:41.680
his mom and, and he saw that shit, you know,
600
00:33:41.700 --> 00:33:43.640
and it was like, you know, he, you know, he,
601
00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:47.109
he just, he, it didn't sit well with him. Right.
602
00:33:47.849 --> 00:33:52.069
And to the point where he is a person that
603
00:33:52.410 --> 00:33:55.970
would go to battered women's shelters and he would assist
604
00:33:56.049 --> 00:33:59.849
them and he would assist refugees. And, and like, like
605
00:33:59.930 --> 00:34:02.819
Patrick Stewart was a good human being. He was a
606
00:34:02.859 --> 00:34:06.759
big dog person. Know what his favorite dog was? Fucking
607
00:34:06.779 --> 00:34:10.800
this nigga. Fucking pit bulls, yo. He was a pit
608
00:34:10.840 --> 00:34:11.500
bull lover.
609
00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:16.519
The chosen dog of white girls in Brooklyn everywhere.
610
00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:24.699
Like, he was an animal rights activist. He was a
611
00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:26.719
protector of people.
612
00:34:27.900 --> 00:34:27.980
Um.
613
00:34:28.969 --> 00:34:35.150
He walked the walk. He lived the gimmick. Yeah, man.
614
00:34:35.309 --> 00:34:39.010
It sucks. It sucks that he died. That one I
615
00:34:39.030 --> 00:34:39.360
was like.
616
00:34:39.380 --> 00:34:42.179
Come on.
617
00:34:42.840 --> 00:34:47.639
Listen, I was out getting my wife. My wife has
618
00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:49.860
some work that she needs to get done on her car.
619
00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:56.599
I'm standing in line. You sent that to me. When
620
00:34:56.639 --> 00:34:59.849
you sent that to me, the guy in line and
621
00:35:00.309 --> 00:35:03.210
obviously a big old nerd, right? Yeah. And he and
622
00:35:03.250 --> 00:35:06.150
his wife were sitting there, were standing there and he
623
00:35:06.190 --> 00:35:07.769
just looked at me and he looked at his wife
624
00:35:07.809 --> 00:35:11.679
and said, we lost Patrick Stewart. And I looked at
625
00:35:11.719 -->
00:35:13.239
him and he looked at me. They looked at me.
626
00:35:13.260 --> 00:35:17.820
We were just like, fuck man. Like, like it hit
627
00:35:17.860 --> 00:35:22.380
us all at the same time. And it just, yeah, man,
628
00:35:22.860 --> 00:35:26.440
this one, this one really sucks, man. Look, this one really,
629
00:35:26.460 --> 00:35:27.300
this one really hurts.
630
00:35:27.679 --> 00:35:31.230
Look, If it hurts, just understand that the hurt ain't
631
00:35:31.289 --> 00:35:34.929
over because Sir Ian McKellen, the two of those guys
632
00:35:34.969 --> 00:35:37.610
were fucking soulmates. And much like when people lose their spouse,
633
00:35:38.030 --> 00:35:39.500
they go soon after that.
634
00:35:39.739 --> 00:35:41.900
I will not be surprised if he dies soon after that.
635
00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:43.820
I won't be yet.
636
00:35:44.840 --> 00:35:45.460
I think it sucks.
637
00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:49.800
But, like, those guys were as close as two friends
638
00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:50.090
could be.
639
00:35:50.449 --> 00:35:50.769
They were.
640
00:35:51.210 --> 00:35:58.949
And, like, those guys showed people that, like, People have
641
00:35:59.010 --> 00:36:03.309
such a weird... You watch movies and you embody those
642
00:36:03.389 --> 00:36:06.130
characters and you're like, I don't like this character, I
643
00:36:06.150 --> 00:36:06.909
don't like this character.
644
00:36:06.969 --> 00:36:08.789
And then you don't like the actor, which I always
645
00:36:08.809 --> 00:36:09.809
think is freaking weird.
646
00:36:11.929 --> 00:36:16.199
But those two guys, no matter how bad those X-Men
647
00:36:16.219 --> 00:36:21.400
movies got, no matter what, everybody agreed those two guys.
648
00:36:21.260 --> 00:36:23.119
Were the perfect choices for those movies.
649
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:27.739
They were perfect. And they've never been bad. It doesn't matter.
650
00:36:27.880 --> 00:36:30.340
Like, I've seen every single one of those X-Men movies,
651
00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:32.880
and many of them I do not like. But one
652
00:36:32.900 --> 00:36:34.840
thing I will never tell you is that their performances
653
00:36:34.860 --> 00:36:36.659
in those movies were not the best of the best,
654
00:36:37.250 --> 00:36:40.710
by far. So, I mean, if anything, that's my biggest
655
00:36:40.769 --> 00:36:42.809
issue with those ones that they rebooted and they put
656
00:36:42.829 --> 00:36:45.150
those other people in, even though I like Michael Fassbender.
657
00:36:45.170 --> 00:36:48.480
I'm like, it's not exactly Ian McKellen, is it?
658
00:36:48.789 --> 00:36:51.480
Like, it's not. And, you know, like, it's not. So....
659
00:36:53.309 --> 00:36:53.849
It just sucks.
660
00:36:54.429 --> 00:36:56.739
And I am afraid that Ian McKellen is probably going
661
00:36:56.800 --> 00:37:00.440
to pass away soon after this, but I'm glad that
662
00:37:00.460 --> 00:37:05.039
they got to do the MCU properly one last time together.
663
00:37:05.219 --> 00:37:07.079
I think that's kind of dope. Like that's going to
664
00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:10.510
be a huge part of their like final legacy together
665
00:37:10.550 --> 00:37:12.929
as friends. I think that's, I think that's amazing. And
666
00:37:13.630 --> 00:37:17.110
those characters finally found each other, right? Like at the end,
667
00:37:17.610 --> 00:37:19.789
like for all their bullshit throughout their entire lives, those
668
00:37:19.829 --> 00:37:21.250
characters have found each other.
669
00:37:21.349 --> 00:37:23.159
And like, watching them kind of.
670
00:37:23.340 --> 00:37:25.960
Meet the end of their, their line in the MCU
671
00:37:26.139 --> 00:37:29.380
to see that. And then that correlate against like kind
672
00:37:29.400 --> 00:37:32.679
of the end of their lives in reality is pretty powerful.
673
00:37:33.300 --> 00:37:38.309
So. Yeah, man. Um, I, that whole crop of actors
674
00:37:38.449 --> 00:37:41.329
from like the, I think they were all part of
675
00:37:41.389 --> 00:37:47.590
like this, like this big, like Shakespearean, uh, Shakespearean company,
676
00:37:47.809 --> 00:37:53.539
like troop. Right. And, and, They don't make actors like
677
00:37:53.579 --> 00:38:00.300
this anymore who have a passion for it, right? There's
678
00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:03.440
a reason why these guys keep coming back to play
679
00:38:03.460 --> 00:38:05.760
these silly roles. One, they're having a good time. Two,
680
00:38:05.800 --> 00:38:14.929
they bring a certain incredible legitimacy to this stuff. James Spader, right? Right.
681
00:38:15.030 --> 00:38:23.489
And it means something, right? Like, They don't phone anything in, right?
682
00:38:23.530 --> 00:38:24.210
No.
683
00:38:25.070 --> 00:38:30.929
Listen, I like... What's the woman's name who played Mystique?
684
00:38:31.030 --> 00:38:35.510
Jennifer something? Oh, Jennifer Lawrence. Jennifer Lawrence. Look, I think
685
00:38:35.670 --> 00:38:41.969
Jennifer Lawrence is a good actor, but she was just
686
00:38:42.230 --> 00:38:44.829
out of it. She's just like, I don't want to
687
00:38:44.869 --> 00:38:48.389
be Mystique anymore. I'm here so that I don't get sued.
688
00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:49.360
Right.
689
00:38:49.639 --> 00:38:53.099
Yeah. You can tell on the screen. Yeah. And it
690
00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:56.780
just it just wasn't there. These dudes don't these dudes
691
00:38:56.820 --> 00:39:00.309
don't do that. They're professionals. They don't they don't they
692
00:39:00.349 --> 00:39:04.710
don't act like assholes and then say, oh, well, I'm
693
00:39:04.750 --> 00:39:08.929
method acting. Right. No, they didn't have to because the
694
00:39:08.989 --> 00:39:11.889
point of acting is to come into a role and
695
00:39:11.909 --> 00:39:15.250
then come out of it. You don't have to, you know,
696
00:39:15.710 --> 00:39:21.730
live the gimmick in that sense. All right. God, man,
697
00:39:22.309 --> 00:39:25.429
I'm just, it just sucks. It
just really sucks, man.
698
00:39:25.650 --> 00:39:26.610
It just really sucks.
699
00:39:26.630 --> 00:39:29.639
You know, the funny thing is you sent me that, that, um,
700
00:39:30.030 --> 00:39:33.920
that trailer again for the doomsday where it's, you know,
701
00:39:34.420 --> 00:39:36.860
it opens with, you know, death comes for us all.
702
00:39:37.260 --> 00:39:38.880
You know, that the, that is the one thing I
703
00:39:38.900 --> 00:39:42.219
can be sure of. And it's just like, all right, universe.
704
00:39:42.420 --> 00:39:43.380
All right. We got it.
705
00:39:43.380 --> 00:39:48.869
Like, It could definitely come for some people maybe a
706
00:39:48.889 --> 00:39:50.030
little sooner than others.
707
00:39:50.190 --> 00:39:54.110
I'm just saying, why is he still alive? But, yes,
708
00:39:54.190 --> 00:39:58.010
I understand the point. Look, Robert Downey Jr. came out
709
00:39:58.030 --> 00:40:00.769
a couple days ago and was like, man, you guys
710
00:40:00.789 --> 00:40:02.449
are going to hate me. I'm afraid you guys are
711
00:40:02.469 --> 00:40:04.070
going to hate me for what I'm about to do
712
00:40:04.989 --> 00:40:08.719
in this movie. Like you said, oh, you're going to
713
00:40:08.760 --> 00:40:10.739
hate this character so much, you're going to hate the actor.
714
00:40:10.860 --> 00:40:12.420
You're going to hate me. Right, right, right.
715
00:40:13.320 --> 00:40:13.639
I mean.
716
00:40:14.829 --> 00:40:15.869
you probably.
717
00:40:15.469 --> 00:40:21.000
Right now bro yeah yeah like yeah no i mean
718
00:40:21.019 --> 00:40:24.400
like i think that's very true i mean look look
719
00:40:25.179 --> 00:40:27.159
here's how here here's how we know that that's actually
720
00:40:27.179 --> 00:40:31.099
true people were kind of pissed about wanda maximoff for
721
00:40:31.179 --> 00:40:34.300
killing professor x in that oven it was like right
722
00:40:34.570 --> 00:40:35.139
you're like.
723
00:40:35.650 --> 00:40:37.550
Nigga he just got the he just got the.
724
00:40:37.530 --> 00:40:41.489
Yellow chair now you're gonna kill him right like because
725
00:40:41.530 --> 00:40:45.250
people are that attached to that character right um i
726
00:40:45.289 --> 00:40:47.409
don't know i don't know i think it obviously it
727
00:40:47.449 --> 00:40:51.289
sucks and i i wish it didn't happen um but
728
00:40:51.329 --> 00:40:53.659
it did have to happen eventually and you're right people
729
00:40:53.719 --> 00:40:55.840
took it took him for granted i just sent you
730
00:40:55.880 --> 00:40:58.860
the picture of him in excalibur he looks the same
731
00:40:58.880 --> 00:41:02.260
and that was 1981 yeah man i was born in
732
00:41:02.900 --> 00:41:05.750
he looks the same at that age he looks the
733
00:41:05.769 --> 00:41:08.880
same I don't know, he looks like he's 40 years
734
00:41:09.019 --> 00:41:09.360
old there.
735
00:41:09.380 --> 00:41:12.380
He's probably in his late 20s, which is insane, or
736
00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:16.460
early 30s. He had alopecia, which is why he went bald. Oh,
737
00:41:16.460 --> 00:41:19.739
is that true? Yeah, he went bald very, very early.
738
00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:24.460
At like 17, he went bald, right? Wow, okay. Yeah,
739
00:41:24.559 --> 00:41:26.000
so he's always looked like that.
740
00:41:26.380 --> 00:41:29.820
Okay, so at that time, he was 41 years old
741
00:41:30.300 --> 00:41:31.320
in that picture I sent you.
742
00:41:32.659 --> 00:41:33.119
He was 41, right?
743
00:41:35.800 --> 00:41:40.119
From that time until yesterday when he died, that's Terrence's
744
00:41:40.159 --> 00:41:46.269
entire life, right? Because he was born in 81. And
745
00:41:46.530 --> 00:41:48.670
he looked the same all the way up until like
746
00:41:49.050 --> 00:41:49.949
five years ago.
747
00:41:50.230 --> 00:41:52.429
Then it was like, oh shit, Patrick Stewart's old. Like,
748
00:41:52.469 --> 00:41:53.710
but for real. Yeah.
749
00:41:54.690 --> 00:41:56.590
That's nuts. That's nuts, dude.
750
00:41:57.489 --> 00:42:02.519
Almost our entire lifetime, literally Terrence's lifetime, Patrick Stewart looked
751
00:42:02.880 --> 00:42:04.719
the same, which is nuts.
752
00:42:04.860 --> 00:42:05.000
Yeah.
753
00:42:06.309 --> 00:42:06.449
Yeah.
754
00:42:06.610 --> 00:42:12.079
He was 41 in Excalibur in 81. That's crazy. So, yeah,
755
00:42:12.980 --> 00:42:16.800
as you would say, safe home to Patrick Stewart. All right.
756
00:42:18.659 --> 00:42:23.500
Next up, the Birds series with Sarah Snook in works
757
00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:27.579
at HBO. I was so caught up in Patrick Stewart.
758
00:42:27.599 --> 00:42:34.289
I forgot to read this. So I'll give the breakdown
759
00:42:34.329 --> 00:42:34.510
for this.
760
00:42:34.900 --> 00:42:37.119
So this is going to be loosely based on the
761
00:42:37.159 --> 00:42:42.530
original book, much like the birds movie was that Hitchcock did.
762
00:42:42.619 --> 00:42:45.510
So it probably be closer to the Hitchcock movie.
763
00:42:45.230 --> 00:42:46.269
Than, than the book.
764
00:42:47.110 --> 00:42:51.150
The idea is this woman, Myra Macy played by Snook.
765
00:42:52.550 --> 00:42:55.670
She's like moves back to her hometown with her daughter after,
766
00:42:55.690 --> 00:42:58.329
you know, some sort of divorce or whatever, a custody battle.
767
00:42:59.210 --> 00:43:04.139
And she, Then there's a bunch of deaths that happen
768
00:43:04.300 --> 00:43:07.599
and they're tied to these birds and what have you.
769
00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:09.679
And then the birds just start trying to kill people.
770
00:43:11.659 --> 00:43:15.099
And it's tied to this crime. I don't know how
771
00:43:15.139 --> 00:43:17.639
this is going to be a whole series. How much
772
00:43:17.659 --> 00:43:20.320
of this is going to be the actual birds killing people?
773
00:43:20.380 --> 00:43:22.659
Just stay in your house. And then the birds break
774
00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:27.389
in and some shit. So I
don't know. But it's HBO,
775
00:43:27.409 --> 00:43:30.900
so I'm going to trust it. They haven't let me
776
00:43:30.940 --> 00:43:31.780
down yet, so.
777
00:43:33.559 --> 00:43:37.219
Yeah, I mean, Sarah Snook is, you know, she's Siobhan
778
00:43:37.260 --> 00:43:43.460
from Succession, is what most of you would know her from.
779
00:43:45.860 --> 00:43:50.039
My aunt, God rest her soul, she saw the birds
780
00:43:51.320 --> 00:43:54.480
and it fucked her up. Yeah. Like, she was deathly
781
00:43:54.559 --> 00:44:00.239
afraid of birds after watching the Hitchcock movie. Like, like, Like,
782
00:44:01.260 --> 00:44:06.070
she would get paralyzed with fear. It just goes to
783
00:44:06.110 --> 00:44:10.269
show you how well that movie was done. Yeah, man.
784
00:44:12.090 --> 00:44:12.449
All right.
785
00:44:12.889 --> 00:44:13.530
I mean, here's the thing.
786
00:44:13.550 --> 00:44:16.880
Nobody needs to be afraid of birds because everyone knows
787
00:44:16.920 --> 00:44:17.480
birds aren't real.
788
00:44:18.019 --> 00:44:22.469
They are a government op. Everyone knows that. Yeah, they're satellites.
789
00:44:22.730 --> 00:44:25.130
They're little mini spy satellites.
790
00:44:25.590 --> 00:44:27.849
I love that dude made that up as a joke
791
00:44:27.889 --> 00:44:29.150
and then people started believing it.
792
00:44:29.230 --> 00:44:31.150
Like, are you guys fucking morons?
793
00:44:31.510 --> 00:44:34.280
What are you talking about? No, they're not real. All right, dude.
794
00:44:35.119 --> 00:44:36.920
Okay.
795
00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:39.699
This is just breaking. I hadn't seen this until just now.
796
00:44:40.219 --> 00:44:43.400
Donald Glover is writing and starring in a PUBG video
797
00:44:43.420 --> 00:44:45.320
game adaptation for Netflix.
798
00:44:46.480 --> 00:44:50.670
Okay. Weird. Weird. Way to strike while the iron is
799
00:44:50.789 --> 00:44:55.110
completely frozen. Right, like, who's played PUBG in, like, the last, like,
800
00:44:55.800 --> 00:44:59.179
seven years? Like, it's super weird. But, okay.
801
00:44:59.739 --> 00:45:01.860
Here's the thing I didn't know when looking at this article.
802
00:45:02.239 --> 00:45:06.780
Donald Glover's brother looks exactly like him, but he just, like,
803
00:45:07.500 --> 00:45:08.260
is a bit heavier.
804
00:45:08.300 --> 00:45:10.300
But those dudes look identical.
805
00:45:10.400 --> 00:45:14.099
Yeah, like, they're not, they still got that same, like,
806
00:45:14.280 --> 00:45:18.010
they still got that same, like, very unique nose that
807
00:45:18.050 --> 00:45:19.820
the two of them have it's not just that it's
808
00:45:19.840 --> 00:45:22.659
the blood nose there's something about it right like yeah
809
00:45:22.679 --> 00:45:26.059
they look like so super super simple yeah like Donald
810
00:45:26.079 --> 00:45:29.059
Glover has like a divot in his septum you know
811
00:45:29.079 --> 00:45:31.039
what I mean like it makes it look like you
812
00:45:31.059 --> 00:45:34.000
got like two noses sitting side by side and his
813
00:45:34.059 --> 00:45:36.219
brother looked the same that's.
814
00:45:36.079 --> 00:45:39.179
So weird it looks like Donald Glover is also playing
815
00:45:39.239 --> 00:45:42.820
his brother in the secret like a secret project he's
816
00:45:42.860 --> 00:45:46.500
like yeah I'm playing two characters like okay Um, yeah.
817
00:45:46.519 --> 00:45:50.139
So Donald Glover and his brother, Steven Glover. Um, okay.
818
00:45:50.239 --> 00:45:55.420
Yeah. Player players, unknown battlegrounds, PUBG, um, where you just
819
00:45:55.440 --> 00:45:57.280
kind of play like a goofball character and like a
820
00:45:57.300 --> 00:45:59.300
shoot them up like a bunch against a bunch of other,
821
00:45:59.320 --> 00:46:00.460
like wackadoo characters.
822
00:46:01.000 --> 00:46:03.199
I don't know what the story is for this, but
823
00:46:03.239 --> 00:46:04.539
then again, then Nate, what was that?
824
00:46:04.579 --> 00:46:06.719
What was that game that you, uh, you used to
825
00:46:06.780 --> 00:46:08.840
like that shooter game that they made with Kevin Hart
826
00:46:09.050 --> 00:46:12.030
that turned out to be fucking terrible. Um, what?
827
00:46:13.269 --> 00:46:18.380
Yeah. Um, It's got like... Oh, Borderlands.
828
00:46:18.460 --> 00:46:19.690
Borderlands, yeah, there it is.
829
00:46:19.699 --> 00:46:23.639
They made a story out of that, and that game
830
00:46:23.699 --> 00:46:25.639
has a story, and that was a piece of shit, so.
831
00:46:27.019 --> 00:46:31.480
Yeah. But at the same time, Donald Glover is pretty
832
00:46:31.519 --> 00:46:39.889
good at writing, so... I mean, alright. Him and his brother. Yeah,
833
00:46:39.929 --> 00:46:44.210
we'll see, I guess. Weird. I've never played PUBG, so
834
00:46:44.329 --> 00:46:49.150
I don't really know too much about it. I know
835
00:46:49.210 --> 00:46:52.869
it was a precursor to games like Fortnite, which is
836
00:46:54.130 --> 00:46:59.269
just the absolute bane of my existence. Fortnite is terrible,
837
00:46:59.329 --> 00:47:04.429
and if you like it, you are a terrible person. Why?
838
00:47:04.489 --> 00:47:07.309
Just because people like to do the dances over and
839
00:47:07.550 --> 00:47:10.590
over again? Because it's... I don't want to go off
840
00:47:10.690 --> 00:47:15.130
on a rant here, but Fortnite is what you do
841
00:47:15.230 --> 00:47:17.619
when you want to When you want to whore your
842
00:47:17.719 --> 00:47:23.469
IP out. Yeah. And I don't like that. Mariah Carey's
843
00:47:23.530 --> 00:47:29.289
in Fortnite. Two Mariah Careys. Two Mariah Careys are in Fortnite.
844
00:47:29.730 --> 00:47:32.869
Regular Mariah Carey. And all I want for Christmas is you,
845
00:47:32.909 --> 00:47:35.809
Mariah Carey. Two Mariah Careys are in Fortnite.
846
00:47:36.030 --> 00:47:40.050
I mean, in fairness, those are two distinct personalities.
847
00:47:40.130 --> 00:47:44.289
Right? Psycho
lunatic Mariah Carey who didn't realize people paid
848
00:47:44.309 --> 00:47:45.829
for electric bills and water bills.
849
00:47:46.239 --> 00:47:50.000
And then, you know, Christmas Mariah Carey. Christmas Mariah Carey
850
00:47:50.079 --> 00:47:54.070
running around building shit and shooting people. Weird.
851
00:47:54.110 --> 00:47:56.710
That's Fortnite. Get the fuck out of here.
852
00:47:56.769 --> 00:47:58.550
And you know what? She getting paid.
853
00:47:59.110 --> 00:48:00.510
She getting super paid.
854
00:48:00.550 --> 00:48:03.369
I get it. I get it. But at the same time, like,
855
00:48:05.829 --> 00:48:07.710
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
856
00:48:08.699 --> 00:48:11.940
I've never played Fortnite, but I have played PUBG like
857
00:48:12.320 --> 00:48:15.630
a handful of times and I was largely unimpressed.
858
00:48:16.170 --> 00:48:18.949
I have to tell you. So, okay.
859
00:48:19.880 --> 00:48:26.340
Next up, Monarch is possibly getting renewed on Apple TV. Look,
860
00:48:26.539 --> 00:48:28.420
I did not finish the second season of Monarch. I
861
00:48:28.480 --> 00:48:31.019
love the first season. I just got busy and didn't
862
00:48:31.039 --> 00:48:35.369
watch the second season. Or didn't finish it. They're thinking
863
00:48:35.389 --> 00:48:37.869
that maybe if this gets renewed, they're going to reboot it.
864
00:48:38.250 --> 00:48:41.250
Which feels odd as fuck to me, but okay.
865
00:48:42.250 --> 00:48:42.329
Um.
866
00:48:43.650 --> 00:48:46.449
i don't know what i don't i don't know no.
867
00:48:46.369 --> 00:48:48.510
It had tons of monsters in it there's like a
868
00:48:48.570 --> 00:48:52.539
lot right um kong is in the second season so
869
00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:57.000
i like my only thing with this is having the
870
00:48:57.519 --> 00:49:01.050
idiotic version of the movie series be tied to this
871
00:49:01.269 --> 00:49:05.889
very serious and well done apple tv series never made
872
00:49:05.929 --> 00:49:08.909
any sense to It's like, do one or the other. Like,
873
00:49:09.250 --> 00:49:12.000
make the series dumb as fuck, like the movies, or
874
00:49:12.059 --> 00:49:16.590
make the movies actually matter and be like good movies. Or,
875
00:49:16.989 --> 00:49:18.929
scrap the movies and just make a really good series.
876
00:49:19.130 --> 00:49:19.949
Like, you could also do that.
877
00:49:20.699 --> 00:49:23.420
Um because it's not like the budget isn't pretty high
878
00:49:23.500 --> 00:49:26.079
like it is like it the monsters don't look like
879
00:49:26.119 --> 00:49:28.960
garbage at all they look really high end so and
880
00:49:28.980 --> 00:49:30.800
that could also be the reason why they may be
881
00:49:30.820 --> 00:49:33.320
thinking about like let's maybe not do any more of
882
00:49:33.360 --> 00:49:37.280
these but there's there's talk that they may uh they
883
00:49:37.320 --> 00:49:42.269
may just scrap it And get all new actors because reasons.
884
00:49:42.510 --> 00:49:44.250
I don't know. There's time travel shit and everything.
885
00:49:45.190 --> 00:49:45.449
Okay.
886
00:49:45.829 --> 00:49:49.639
It sucks because the series is very good. It's excellent.
887
00:49:50.420 --> 00:49:52.480
It's to the point where I'm like, how are these
888
00:49:52.559 --> 00:49:55.320
two things connected? How is the movie series and the
889
00:49:55.340 --> 00:49:57.420
TV series all in the same world?
890
00:49:57.639 --> 00:50:02.849
It just doesn't make any sense. How could they possibly
891
00:50:02.909 --> 00:50:07.349
be connected because the level of quality is No, dude,
892
00:50:07.570 --> 00:50:08.949
it's night and day.
893
00:50:09.150 --> 00:50:10.869
Look, let me tell you how good this series is.
894
00:50:11.349 --> 00:50:13.969
I started watching the first series and my wife walked
895
00:50:13.989 --> 00:50:16.010
in the room and I'm watching. And it's like the
896
00:50:16.050 --> 00:50:20.429
beginning of this first season, it takes place in Japan.
897
00:50:20.659 --> 00:50:24.039
They've got warning signs about Godzilla attacks. So the island
898
00:50:24.099 --> 00:50:26.380
is very much prepared in case it happens because of
899
00:50:26.420 --> 00:50:30.400
the events of the Godzilla movie that happened outside of
900
00:50:30.420 --> 00:50:33.639
the series. And it's like about abandonment and all this
901
00:50:33.679 --> 00:50:35.320
other stuff and these people dealing with sort of the
902
00:50:35.340 --> 00:50:36.239
PTSD of it all.
903
00:50:36.880 --> 00:50:38.840
And my wife sits down and she was like, oh,
904
00:50:38.860 --> 00:50:40.889
this is really good. What is this? And I was like,
905
00:50:41.530 --> 00:50:43.449
it's a Godzilla TV show.
906
00:50:43.510 --> 00:50:44.949
And she was like, is it?
907
00:50:44.969 --> 00:50:46.590
I was like, yeah.
908
00:50:46.949 --> 00:50:47.829
She was riveted.
909
00:50:47.889 --> 00:50:49.269
I'm like, I know.
910
00:50:49.829 --> 00:50:52.650
Dude, it's excellent. Does it make sense?
911
00:50:52.750 --> 00:50:54.269
Now, if I turn on that Godzilla movie, she's like,
912
00:50:54.289 --> 00:50:56.530
can you please turn this off? I can feel my
913
00:50:56.610 --> 00:50:58.150
brain cells dying by the second.
914
00:50:58.570 --> 00:50:59.650
So, I don't know.
915
00:51:00.389 --> 00:51:03.480
As you pointed out, Um, a couple of months ago, uh,
916
00:51:04.159 --> 00:51:06.849
the last Godzilla movie was, Oh, we got a monkey, uh,
917
00:51:07.719 --> 00:51:09.760
to go underground to fight a bigger monkey.
918
00:51:09.840 --> 00:51:11.440
Like that's literally what that movie is.
919
00:51:11.780 --> 00:51:14.679
Meanwhile, this one, the series is dealing with PTSD and
920
00:51:14.969 --> 00:51:17.730
losing your, your, the love of your life in some
921
00:51:17.789 --> 00:51:20.070
like world and having to get her out. But now
922
00:51:20.110 --> 00:51:22.510
you're old and she's young and it's fucking sucks. And
923
00:51:22.789 --> 00:51:25.170
how do you deal with that? And your son and yeah,
924
00:51:25.409 --> 00:51:28.110
the movies are like big monkey fight little monkey.
925
00:51:28.190 --> 00:51:35.960
Like that's it. It's like, good. Like, thanks guys. Great work.
926
00:51:36.989 --> 00:51:40.480
Um all right so let's talk about the final trailer
927
00:51:40.559 --> 00:51:46.820
for dune 3 um this shit looks really good yeah
928
00:51:46.840 --> 00:51:51.179
it does it uh it does um i'm hyped for
929
00:51:51.219 --> 00:51:54.570
it yeah paul is in his uh his lunatic bag
930
00:51:54.909 --> 00:51:59.590
and um oh yeah i'm i'm i'm here for it um.
931
00:52:01.780 --> 00:52:05.679
I'm very curious to see my wife's reaction to this
932
00:52:05.900 --> 00:52:06.750
when we go see it.
933
00:52:07.059 --> 00:52:09.539
Does she think Paul Atreides is a hero?
934
00:52:11.119 --> 00:52:15.820
Kind of, you know, because a lot of people get
935
00:52:16.380 --> 00:52:22.119
the protagonist confused with the hero. And I think that's
936
00:52:22.159 --> 00:52:28.599
what's happening here with her. So, yeah, it'll be interesting
937
00:52:28.639 --> 00:52:33.059
to see, to get her, to gauge her reaction. but
938
00:52:33.280 --> 00:52:39.320
you know my loyalties lie with someone else so I
939
00:52:39.400 --> 00:52:46.090
will see that movie after I see this one 100% like.
940
00:52:48.690 --> 00:52:50.130
Oh are you going to see both of them the
941
00:52:50.170 --> 00:52:51.739
same day no I don't really have time to do
942
00:52:51.780 --> 00:52:53.960
that but I'm going to tell you one of them
943
00:52:54.019 --> 00:52:57.679
is going to get seen first and that is definitely
944
00:52:57.699 --> 00:53:00.329
going to be Doomsday but don't get me wrong This
945
00:53:00.389 --> 00:53:01.190
is a date.
946
00:53:01.150 --> 00:53:04.630
Night movie for me and my wife. Absolutely. I'm going
947
00:53:04.650 --> 00:53:10.190
to see Doomsday first. I got a doctor's appointment. And
948
00:53:11.010 --> 00:53:15.309
I'm going to see that movie first. And then the
949
00:53:15.469 --> 00:53:21.719
following week, me and my wife will go see Dune 3. Yeah.
950
00:53:21.880 --> 00:53:24.860
I'm very much excited to see this. I am going
951
00:53:24.880 --> 00:53:27.119
to sit down and watch Dune 1 and 2.
952
00:53:27.119 --> 00:53:28.599
Oh, I need to. Yeah, I need to.
953
00:53:29.099 --> 00:53:33.340
Yeah, because those movies are fantastic. I'll see if my
954
00:53:33.400 --> 00:53:36.570
wife wants to re-watch those. Again, she really liked those movies,
955
00:53:36.610 --> 00:53:37.829
and I am confused.
956
00:53:37.909 --> 00:53:40.309
I do not know why. I don't get it.
957
00:53:40.690 --> 00:53:43.489
I understand they're great movies and all that, but my
958
00:53:43.550 --> 00:53:45.829
wife has been on a fucking total sci-fi terror.
959
00:53:45.909 --> 00:53:47.929
I'm like, are you sure?
960
00:53:51.090 --> 00:53:55.750
Look, here's a little bit of information for you married
961
00:53:55.789 --> 00:53:56.309
men out there.
962
00:53:56.840 --> 00:53:59.280
You really want to get them going. Apparently dude is
963
00:53:59.320 --> 00:54:00.320
the movie to watch.
964
00:54:00.400 --> 00:54:04.900
Like my wife doesn't like sci-fi yet.
965
00:54:05.639 --> 00:54:06.679
Yeah.
966
00:54:06.739 --> 00:54:09.909
Um, yeah. Like it's so weird. She was like, those
967
00:54:09.929 --> 00:54:11.730
movies are really good. I'm like, yeah, they are.
968
00:54:12.210 --> 00:54:14.510
Here's a whole slew of other sci-fi movies that are
969
00:54:14.610 --> 00:54:17.409
also really good. So I'm going to get her to
970
00:54:17.429 --> 00:54:19.530
watch blade runner. Like if I can get her to
971
00:54:19.570 --> 00:54:22.920
watch blade runner and she likes that, I'm like, damn girl.
972
00:54:22.960 --> 00:54:25.420
I'm super glad we got married. This is crazy. I
973
00:54:25.460 --> 00:54:28.489
never knew. Um, I think I figured it out. I
974
00:54:29.949 --> 00:54:32.510
think I just figured it out. My wife comes from
975
00:54:32.570 --> 00:54:37.349
a little beach town near Daytona. Is it the sand?
976
00:54:37.769 --> 00:54:42.710
I think it's the sand. I think she loves the beach,
977
00:54:42.929 --> 00:54:46.099
and she has imparted that love of the beach onto
978
00:54:46.159 --> 00:54:50.159
my eldest son. And I think she likes it because
979
00:54:50.199 --> 00:54:53.679
of the sand. Okay, that's fair. That's fair. All right.
980
00:54:53.940 --> 00:54:56.280
Whatever gets you there. Whatever gets you there. Whatever gets
981
00:54:56.300 --> 00:54:56.559
you there.
982
00:54:57.670 --> 00:54:59.250
Um, I, I don't know.
983
00:54:59.269 --> 00:55:02.710
I like, I, I can't say it's like, Oh, my
984
00:55:02.750 --> 00:55:04.659
wife likes it because like Jason Momoa is in it.
985
00:55:04.670 --> 00:55:06.989
She's like, he looks weird without a beard.
986
00:55:07.329 --> 00:55:09.269
I don't care. I was like, all right, so that's
987
00:55:09.309 --> 00:55:09.719
not it.
988
00:55:10.510 --> 00:55:15.599
Um, I, I, I can say with all certainty that, uh,
989
00:55:15.639 --> 00:55:18.099
Timothy Chalamet, not necessarily her type of guy.
990
00:55:18.119 --> 00:55:23.340
Um, so yeah, I don't know. Maybe she's into Zendaya.
991
00:55:23.570 --> 00:55:28.079
I don't know what it is, but, um, But to
992
00:55:28.099 --> 00:55:32.119
be honest, I think for her, she likes hard sci-fi.
993
00:55:32.159 --> 00:55:35.050
She likes stuff that is... She's not a fantasy person.
994
00:55:35.429 --> 00:55:36.809
I couldn't get her to watch a Game of Thrones
995
00:55:36.869 --> 00:55:39.309
type of thing ever. She's like, nah, I don't want horseback.
996
00:55:39.349 --> 00:55:39.650
Fuck that.
997
00:55:39.929 --> 00:55:40.829
I'm not watching that shit.
998
00:55:41.409 --> 00:55:46.969
I agree. Yeah, that's fair. But she will watch... She'll watch.
999
00:55:46.789 --> 00:55:50.969
Stuff like this that is technical and this kind of
1000
00:55:50.989 --> 00:55:54.000
thing because she's a fucking dork. So I think that's
1001
00:55:54.039 --> 00:55:57.300
what it is. She loved Arrival. Because it's like a
1002
00:55:57.340 --> 00:56:00.269
very technical film in the same way. So I think
1003
00:56:00.309 --> 00:56:05.050
she would like Blade Runner as well. Because I'll be like, look,
1004
00:56:05.250 --> 00:56:09.389
Blade Runner is really good. Blade Runner 2049 is really,
1005
00:56:09.429 --> 00:56:10.469
really good as well.
1006
00:56:10.769 --> 00:56:12.320
And that's done by the same guy who did Arrival
1007
00:56:12.380 --> 00:56:14.139
in Dune. I'll watch that.
1008
00:56:14.599 --> 00:56:17.760
By the way, it's just three hours. And plus, I
1009
00:56:17.780 --> 00:56:19.960
want to get her ready to watch Blade Runner 2099.
1010
00:56:19.960 --> 00:56:22.000
If I can make that happen.
1011
00:56:22.960 --> 00:56:23.079
So.
1012
00:56:23.639 --> 00:56:24.719
Alright, so there you go.
1013
00:56:25.619 --> 00:56:27.769
Hell yeah. I can't wait for Dune 3. Looks great.
1014
00:56:29.469 --> 00:56:31.849
Dude just knocked out a Dune trilogy with no problems
1015
00:56:32.030 --> 00:56:34.110
and it's likely going to be a 10 out of
1016
00:56:34.110 --> 00:56:35.550
10 for all of these movies, which is wild.
1017
00:56:35.889 --> 00:56:39.710
Yeah, an unfilmable book. You just killed it.
1018
00:56:40.090 --> 00:56:42.599
Yeah, turns out not true.
1019
00:56:43.179 --> 00:56:45.980
Stop saying stuff is unfilmable and get good.
1020
00:56:46.659 --> 00:56:49.780
Yeah, that's purely a skills issue. Like, this is a
1021
00:56:49.800 --> 00:56:50.260
skills issue.
1022
00:56:50.440 --> 00:56:53.679
Absolutely. All right, that's it for us, and we will
1023
00:56:53.699 --> 00:56:55.809
see you guys next week. See ya.
