Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Hey, everybody, Welcome to the Large Ner Drunk Colladder podcast,
the podcast that's all about the geeky things happening in
the world around us and how very excited we are
about them. I am Ariel Caston, and with me, as
always is the superb Jonathan Strickland.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
It's almost February.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
It is almost February. For February February.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
I say it in a wee rebebrary. Yeah. We're recording
this on the very last day of January in twenty
twenty five, so it just sounds diurdy January. Yeah. I
want to say that was in a Hugh Laurie bit.
It was a bit of Fry and Laurie and Hugh
Laurie is playing the piano and singing this song called Mystery,

(00:56):
and so he tries to rhyme January with Mystery, so
it says January. Yeah. I say that because we've got
some stories today that are going to tie in a
little bit to February. Also, it means we're out of
the doldrums of January. There's a YouTube channel called Red

(01:18):
Letter Media. I reference them a few times. They are
pretty blue with their language, but they do a lot
of pop culture related stuff like they watch really bad
movies or they'll do a deep dive on a new
movie that they're both in that the people are interested
in seeing, which isn't always the same as the you know,

(01:41):
the top movies at the theater. But one of the
things they have is a beep you It's January motif
where they talk about it's the month where studios regularly
dump all the films they don't know what to do with.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Okay, as opposed to isn't it like Dar Williams who
has a song about how crappy February is.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
It's possible, well, February is a crappy month. Dark Williams,
Gilbert and Sullivan reference it in Pirates of Penzance. You know,
they say twenty eight days for such a beastly month
as February. Twenty eight days as a rule are plenty.
Because they're doing the whole song about how Frederick was
unfortunately born on the twenty ninth of February during a

(02:29):
leap year. Anyway, no one cares about that, apart from
other operetta geeks.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
No, that is really that is really cool. I'm glad
that Dar Williams and Gilbert and Sullivan have similar sensibilities
about the calendar.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Yeah, but theoretically February is at least a little better
than January as far as the quality of films that
come out. For example, I don't see on February slate
a Craven the Hunter, so.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Oh yeah, well it's also not on the January slate.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
And that's true. That came out in December, didn't it
It did?

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah, yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Can't even tell what time is anymore.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
But oh hey, that that gives me a moment to
say the thing that we cut out of the line
because cutting stuff out makes no sense, which is yeah,
Craven the Hunter did so unwell that Sony has taken
off an untitled Marvel movie from their slate, it's not
quite a full thirty seconds to talk about.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
So yeah. So so we suspect we have an idea
of what that movie might have been, but we're not sure.
It probably was yet another I mean, it certainly was
another spin off of their little Spider Verse thing there.
They're Spider Man less Spider Verse thing, because you know,

(03:43):
they don't actually use Spider Sometimes they reference them, but
they don't ever have them appearing in them.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, I watched the The Honest Movie review for Craven
the Hunter and some of the eighty r in that
I just don't understand. I don't understand it. Yeah, does
put out good movies well?

Speaker 2 (04:04):
And like I want to say, wasn't it like every
line that the villain had in Madam Webb turned out
to be ADR something? Yeah, so like Sony.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
And Morpheus had bad ADR too.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Yeah. It feels like they're trying to address a bad
script by trying to rewrite it after they've already filmed
it and then use ADR to kind of shove new
lines in there. Or maybe they're like, oh, it turns
out audiences have no idea what's going on because we
didn't really link these scenes together properly. So now we
need to put some obvious exposition in there so that

(04:40):
audiences know what's happening. It's not a good sign. So
it's probably the best decision Sony could make. A lot
of people have been pontificating that Craven the Hunter was
going to be the nail and the coffin for the
Sony Spider Man, like the spinoff stuff, not the actual
Spider Man movies, but all the the extenuating stuff, at

(05:03):
least for the time.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Being, which you know, I will say it's a shame
because it's hard when you're trying to do characters around
a very specific character that has already made a lot
of public appearance in media. But I'm all for lesser
known heroes getting their heyday or anti heroes or whatever.
It is, just you have to do it good.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Well. Yeah, I mean, if you're doing it without the
hero that they're most commonly associated with, then you're like,
the only reason this character exists is because they're part
of the pantheon of this larger, more important character. And
if you're not including that larger, more important character in
these other stories, it turns out there's just not enough

(05:48):
to support them to have their own narrative.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
It would be like having an entire Disney movie about
who instead of the rest of the Aladdin characters, right right, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
You know, pick in the minor supporting character from any
movie and say, all right, we're gonna do a movie
about this person, but we're never referencing any of the
other characters, let alone the most important ones in the
movie this character's from. Yeah, that would make no sense.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Yeah, and it sounded like I said a poo. I
meant to say a boo, but my lips got very
a little bit chapped and.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Got I almost always say a poo because I forget
that it's a boo. So I'm just gonna put myself
out there as someone who makes that mistake, just, you know, honestly,
and not because my lips get all sticky. So what
have you watched since we last chatted? One thing is
something we both watched.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Oh yeah, so I guess I'll start with that one.
So I watched all of season one of Severance over
last weekend and then caught up on season two of
Severance on Monday. And I love it so much. I'm
so mad that I actually, you know what, I'm not
mad that I didn't watch it sooner. The only reason

(06:59):
I'm mad I didn't watch it sooner as because if
it had gotten canceled in the first season, I would
have been a part of the problem. But it's second season.
I'm watching it week to week now. But yeah, but
at the end of season two, episode two, I was like, no,
I can't wait. What I have to wait for the
next episode.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Which I think actually comes out today.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
It does, I am watching it tonight.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
I was gonna say, it's possible it's already out, but
I'm only up to episode two of season two as well.
I was in the process of rewatching the series, but
I actually didn't finish rewatching season one before season two
came out, and rather than continue on and be patient,
I jumped ahead. But fortunately, if you're like me and

(07:47):
you watch season one but it's been a while, it's
been a while, then you can watch You can watch
season two. The beginning has a nice recap that kind
of gets you back up to speed because there was
some stuff there that I had forgotten about, so it
was good to get the reminder, and it was I
don't want to spoil anything because it's so well done,

(08:10):
but there's a specific way that episode one unfolds that
might some people might find frustrating. But it's fine two. Yeah,
it's fine, Yeah, because episode two takes care of it.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna make a quick divergence. You went
it's been a while, which is something they do often
on the Critical Role Tables. Season Bell's Hells is about
to have their final eight hour episode for their third.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Campaign, Good Grevy.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yeah, but they wanted to like just be able to
wrap everything up.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
And is this going to be like the finale for
that those characters and then the next thing they'll do
as a new version or is this like the collusion
of an arc and there'll be another one after it?

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Think I think it's going to be for the finales. So,
like you know how you had like the Vox mack
in an arc and then you have the Mighty nine arc,
Bell's Hell's. This is the end of it. But they've also,
I guess minor spoiler if you follow this in Aren't
up to date, Mighty nine and Bell's Hell's and Vox
Macna are all working together, and so you have the
same voice actors playing three different people at the table

(09:17):
and it's hilarious. In this game, it is a lot
of fun. It's episode one ten is where it starts
with Bells Hell's or help Yeah, Bell's Hells and Mighty
nine of this third campaign. So they're doing that, and
then they're gonna have another mini arc of Xandria Unlimited
that Brendan Lee Mulligan's gonna run. They just released a

(09:39):
state of the State of the game critical role video
the other day, So this is how I know all
this yesterday, and Brendan Lee Mulligan's gonna run like another
mini campaign of what happened after the Gods Fell, which
is I think a sequel to Calamity.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
And then this was a mini campaign he ran pre
Sleep brilliant and so good. And that's something that happens
like way way, way way before the stories of the
various campaigns, right, because that's like history in those campaigns.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yeah, and so so after he does that, they're going
to have kind of like a a question and answer
session to talk about all the things that happened.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
And kind of a debrief.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yeah, and then they haven't announced what they're going to
do next. Of course, you know they were also affected
by wildfires and.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Stuff like that, So sure.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Who knows. But back, just because you had said that,
it reminded me that's something geeky I meant to put
in and didn't. This is the episode. It's gonna be
all over the place, But seven they all are. What'd
you think about the commercial I sent you? Because so
doing a lot of weird advertising that I love.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
So tell everybody what the commercial's for.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
It's for Zip Recruiter and it's from the perspective of
Luman trying to get more employees via Zip Recruiter.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Yeah, so Zip Recruiter, if you're not familiar, is a
service that tries to help with the identifying good candidates
for open positions process. I don't have anything against Zip Recruiter.
I do have something against a lot of companies that
end up listing jobs that don't actually exist. There's a
whole thing about that. It's not Ziprecruiter's fault. That's the

(11:17):
companies that are claiming that they have a position and
it turns out they don't. That's detestable. But the commercial's
hilarious because it is it does have a hint of
that dystopian nature of Lumen Industries in the actual series.
And for a brand to be like, yeah, sure, let's
associate our established brand that's actually being used to help

(11:41):
for corporate hiring as part of the promotional material for this,
and we'll just well trust the fact that everyone knows
its tongue in cheek and that we're not actually recruiting
for Lumen Industries.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
I mean, you know, I.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
It is.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
It is one of the great things about media because
because like you watch so many stories and I will
actually touch on this a little bit more with Netflix
is thing that we're going to talk about later, but
or I will at least, Like you watch so many
stories and you're like, oh, that looks like it's it's
so fun, but if you actually put yourself in that position,

(12:18):
it wouldn't be fun. So you watched the ZIP Recruiters, like, yeah,
I want to solve mysteries with these people in limit
industries for severance, and no, you probably really don't, but
imagining it.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Is fun, especially what if you read. If you're like
me and you start reading into fan theories about what's
actually going on, you don't want to be a part
of that. Now that I should add, those are all
fan theories and they may be right, or they may
be way off base. It's also possible that they be
what you're looking for, thanks Billy Joel. But it's also

(12:50):
possible that they are right and that the showrunners will
change where they were headed because they don't want, you know,
so go to a destination that everyone already is aware of,
like we've heard of that happening before too, which is
kind of kind of a bummer because it usually means
that whatever story you do end up with is as strong.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
I hope if people guess it, they're really good about
purposefully answering just enough that you feel like you got
a crumb without so much that you're like, well, I've
now solved this. So I hope even if people have
guessed it, it's a fun journey there and they keep it.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah, it's funny because I don't even bother trying to
figure out what's like, I'm just enjoying the ride. Like
as I sit down, I sit there and think like, yeah,
you know what, I haven't really dedicated much thought into
what actually is going on. And when I was looking
at the fan theory is, I was like, oh, part
of the problem is I have not paid enough attention.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
I've only read a couple fan theories because I don't
want to spoil it. I'm enjoying the mystery for once.
You know, I'm the Queen of spoilers, but I don't
want to spoil it. But the couple that I did
come across, which which was mainly like me self soothing
in the middle of an episode of like does this

(14:08):
person actually do this? And it would bring something up.
The fan theories that they came up with. Maybe I
haven't paid enough attention. I would never have gone there.
Like I have my own theories, but I haven't cross
referenced them.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
So yeah, well some of it is referencing stuff that
was Like it's one of those things where you really
have to pay a lot of attention to everything that's
going on, not just that what's being said, but stuff
that's appearing on screens or on pieces of paper, that
kind of thing, like stuff where you would have to
pause the playback so that you could watch everything. And

(14:45):
I've always appreciated people who go through that kind of trouble.
I have never been one of those people myself, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
But I love watching other people do it. The other
thing I really love about Severance is this weird marketing,
so like they did the thing in Central Station. Yeah,
they have this zip recruiter commercial. And I read even
this week that when people are posting online that like
comments on social media that they aren't really caring for

(15:12):
season two or couldn't really get into Severance or whatever,
He's responding to all of them, but in like a
very nice chill way, and so like one person's like
I couldn't get into season Severn's one He's like keep
up with it, and they're like, just kidding, I love it.
I just wanted you to respond to me.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
But I mean like, yeah, it's really cool.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah. I've had a few experiences of people that I've
admired responding to me online, and I admit, like, that's
a special feeling. When when that happens, I'm going to
leave it there. That story turns sad if I go
to any further. So, so don't Ben.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Stiller's being pretty cool and not trolling people who don't
like severance, but rather just being like, hey, I see.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Yeah, well I have you watched besides all of season
one of Severn's in the first two episodes of season two.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
Actually Came Back, which is dropouts kind of Jeopardy type show.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah, where they give you they give you a statement
that is almost but not quite correct, and the contestants
have to identify what the wrong part of the statement
is by doing the actually interruption.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yes, And they had an entire shiny, which is like
a special questions like a double double doubledare double Jeopardy
or whatever. It is like a special question that they
treat in a different way about classic universal monsters. And
I on the one hand, don't feel bad that I
don't have all the knowledge that they put forth, and

(16:45):
on the other hand, felt bad that I did so
badly at it.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
To be fair to Ariel, I watched this segment and
it wasn't like they were touching on the big classic universe.
In fact, I disagree with the nomenclature because they say
classic Universal Monsters. I'm like, sorry, none of these are classic.
These are all obscure monster movies that were produced by
Universal Studios, or some of them weren't. Like the question

(17:12):
was which ones were and which ones weren't, But none
of them would qualify as classic Universal monsters.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
Yeah yeah, but still I'm like, I shouldn't know enough
to know whether this is true or not because I
also watch a lot of riff tracks so are used to.
But it was good. It was a good first episode.
I did way more poorly at it than I have
done it pop Culture Jeopardy, which I also finished up
the I don't remember they're calling it, but the initial

(17:42):
rounds to get to the quarterfinals. The last three episodes
released on Wednesday, so that's what I have watchtched you well.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
I watched what If. I finished What If season two
and started what if season three? Only the first two
episodes of one of season three? I know a lot
of people, or at least there's a lot of discourse
online discourses being too kind. There's a lot of trolling
online that essentially dismisses season three and says it was
terrible and there's only like maybe one or two good

(18:15):
episodes in it. I wouldn't go that far, but I
would say that the the Mecca Hulk episode I didn't
didn't do anything for me. The Agatha one I thought
was okay, except that my partner hasn't seen the Eternals,
and the Eternals factor heavily into the not just Agatha,

(18:35):
but throughout season three, So I've had to do a
lot of pausing to explain what's going on with the
Eternals because she's never watched that film. Not that I
would suggest she'd do it. I think it's like, you're
not going to get anything out of it. It's not
a very well done movie, and the only big question

(18:56):
is like, are they ever going to do anything with
the Black Night or is that just be one of
those long forgotten stingers that never really pays off.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
Every time they bring something from the Eternals in I'm
just really surprised. But they did bring in the best
character from the Eternals.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
For the what If episode. Yeah, I don't disagree with that,
and and he didn't have to get absolutely jacked because
it's voice acting.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yeah, I really enjoyed season three of what If. And
I'm like, I enjoyed the first two episodes, and I
feel bad that I oversold it to you, and I
know you told me not to, but.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
Well, and like I I thought, I thought it was
like the first one. I don't know, it just didn't
do anything for me, like the whole one part of
that is that you're more of the big monsters than
I am. I'm not into that so much. So you
like your Godzilla's and your king Kongs.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
And I'm also more into like I wouldn't say Gundam,
but like Transformers and power interesting there was.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
It was definitely a Vultron thing because like they all
came together too, and so it was very vultron Ish
Power Rangers. Yeah, I didn't do anything for me, but
I'm still eager to see the rest of season three.
I just haven't had time to do it. Beca's been
getting home super late, and by the time she gets home,
I'm already asleep, so we haven't had time to you know,

(20:16):
I'm not gonna watch that one on my own. I
did watch get Away on my own. We talked about
get Away last year when we saw the trailers for it.
It's a film, a horror comedy film that was written
partly by Nick Frost and stars Nick Frost. Yeah. Yeah,
it's where it's a family, a British family, going to

(20:37):
this secluded Swedish island where some sort of weird cult
activity is going on. Like you get sort of wicker
Man vibes from the trailer, but it's clearly like a
horror comedy and I'm not going to say anything more
about it because it's one of those movies where the
more you learn about it, the less reason you have

(20:59):
to watch it. Right, Like the stuff that happens in
the film you can only really experience once. If you
want to watch it again, I guess you could. I
didn't think it was very good, honestly, but at the
same time, I'm like, yeah, but it's also dependent upon
a plot development that if you know about going into it,

(21:19):
there's no reason to watch the movie. At all. So
so I don't want to say anything more about it.
I will say, like bits of it I thought were amusing.
There was one element, one thing happens to one character
that is pretty extreme. That's not what bothered me. What
bothered me was after it happened, there was no reference

(21:40):
to that extreme moment ever again, even though it totally
would have impacted that character from that point all the
way through the rest of the movie, and like for
that to have happened and never be addressed again after
the moment had happened, I'm like, all right, you're pulling
me out of this, because unless it turns out that

(22:02):
there's some sort of supernatural thing going on here to
explain how this cannot impact this character, you've lost me
because it's not humanly possible. Yeah, anyway, that's that's all
the dancing around I'll do. I would say that if
you're curious about it, if you like horror comedy, you know,

(22:24):
you can check it out and see if within the
first fifteen minutes or so, if you're vibing with the
tone of it, and if you're not, you might as
well just jump because it's not going to get better.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
That's good that's good to know. Thank you, Thank you
for watching the movie. So everybody else knows how long
to invest in it before they decaid whether they want
to watch it or not.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Yeah, and you might know before that you might be
going like, oh wow, this is like totally my jam,
that's totally that's legit, you know, stick with it. But yeah,
I watched the whole thing, Like, I didn't bail on it.
I watched it till the end credits. I just can't
really recommend it because I don't think it was that
strong of a film.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Yeah, he's been making a lot of stuff and none
of it hits me as particularly strong. But sometimes sometimes
you gotta try stuff till something lands.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Yeah. I still kind of want to see the one
that looks like it's a body horror movie more, you know,
like psycho body horror movie where it's like the it
looks like it's a TV studio. Yeah, like it looks
like it's a sitcom that where he ends up trapping
people in there and then he's like going psycho on them.

(23:34):
I kind of still want to see that one. I
don't even remember what the title is. I'd have to
look it up again. I just look up Nick Frost
and see what one of the twenty horror movies he
made last year.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
I absolutely do not want to see that one. I
know it is not for me in any former fashion.
The honestly, the one that looks get Away look to
the most appealing. But I think probably the one that's
going to be the highest quality is the one where
he's the cab driver.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Yeah. I forgot about that one too. You're right, he
has done so much.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
Now maybe that one's come out too. I don't know.
I don't watch you guys all know I don't watch
a lot of horror movies. So it has to it's
got to have a really.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
Cool hook for me. So yeah, you know, like like
like a movie with like I know what you did
last summer where it literally has a cool hook.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah. Although I was watching After Midnight last night because
that's my I need to shut my brain down before
I go to bed show. And it had three of
the stars who were in the Companion that's coming out,
or two of the stars.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
So Jack Quaid and No No, it.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Had Wow Lucas Cage, and it had Kitlin Riley. We're
both also in Dead Boy Detectives together and Kitlyn Riley
does a bunch of stuff on Dropout. But Luke Cage
was the cat king.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
Oh got you got you got.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
You Lucas Cage and is also in the Smile too.
So two of the actors, I don't know if the
third one was in the Campaig, but they showed a
little clip from it and it brought it from scary
to tongue in cheek and both of the both the
actors were saying that it is campy and spoofy, and
so I might actually give that a try.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
Now, okay, well there we go. So's there's the stuff
what we have watched.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
We're already an hour into the episode, not quite.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
But you know, we'll get there. So that means that
it's time for us to move on to thirty seconds
or less. We have a whole bunch in thirty seconds
or less, so we'll try and get this going at
a good clip. I'm out of my lineup because I'm
into my write ups. Am I first, you are first?
All right, here we go. We learned this week that

(25:43):
actor Rich Thompson will join the cast of the upcoming
Green Lantern TV series Lanterns as the alien supervillain Sinestro
who wields the yellow Power of Fear. Thompson is a
very busy actor. He's mostly known for work in European
films and television. He'll be joining Kyle Chandler, who plays
Hal Jordan, and Aaron Pierre, who plays John Stewart. Also,

(26:06):
Nathan Filliam will guest star as Guy Gardner. Things are lighting.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
Up, hi, I love that going from the light side
to the dark side. We are getting a Broadway production
of the eighties I think, yeah, eighty seven movie The
Lost Boys. It's the vampire movie. It has had a
few little showings so far, mainly just industry insider showings.

(26:31):
But it should be coming to Broadway's Palace Theater spring
of twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
That's the problem with Broadway, all the damn vampires. Well,
it's been a strange week for Doctor Strange fans. Early
in the week, Benedict cumber Batch dropped a bombshell that
Doctor Strange would not show up an Avengers Doomsday. Now
that was a surprise because the general rumor was that
Strange would have played a huge role, a central role
in the earlier Avengers plot that still featured Kang the

(26:57):
Conqueror but no worries because now Benny says he quote
unquote misspoke and that he actually is in the movie.
It must be hard to keep track of all those
call sheets.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
All the call sheets in all the universes. More Broadway news,
Hadestown is getting a professional recording, a live recording. They're
bringing back the original cast for the main characters. It's
being filmed in the West Side, so they've canceled performances
for the days that they're filming it, from Friday, Very

(27:29):
twenty eight to Saturday March first, And we don't know
when they're going to actually show this or where they're
actually going to show this, but you know, eventually you
might be able to see the original cast in Hadestown
if you missed it on Broadway.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
Sounds good. Well, while Strange might still show up in
Avengers Doomsday, Chris Evans maintains he has happily retired from
the role of Steve Rogers, which I guess is why
everyone still expects him to come back, because he might
be stepping into the role of nomad that's a superhero.
Steve Rogers assumed after some Captain America Shenanigan's happened in
the comic books. But Evans is firm on this matter.

(28:10):
He says he stepped away from the part and he
is tot's not pulling in Andrew. I'm not in Spider
Man Garfield move.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Yeah, He's just gonna go sit in some lasagna.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
Don't know why I said he hates mondays.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
I talk a lot about drop Out because I like
a lot of their goofy content and game shows, and
I also like their done like their actual plays of
tabletop games. But I know a lot of my friends
don't like watching actual plays. Well, you're in luck because
their initial actual play, Fantasy High, is now teamed up

(28:48):
with web Tune to give you a comic version of
the first season that should be coming out in a
couple of months this spring.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
Nice. Well, we'll be talking about Netflix promoting new shows
and films very soon. But one bed I wanted to
mention comes as part of the promotion for the next
season of Stranger Things, Netflix has released a missing team
poster for Jane Hopper aka Number eleven, who is apparently
five foot four inches tall. At the base of the
poster is a phone number, So jot this down seven

(29:22):
six five three zero three twenty twenty calling it will
serve you up a recorded message from the Hawkins Police
Department that might hold some clues for the next season.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
Uh, we're gonna talk more about what Netflix is bringing
up and coming soon. But one of the things that
we're not going to talk about then we're talking about
now is there doing a reboot of Little House on
the Prairie. Yeah, that's really all I got to say
about that. Eventually, you'll be getting your reboot of Little
House on the on the Prairie on Netflix.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
Okay, story so nice, you said it twice.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
It sounds it's you know, happy media.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
So sure. Mostly. Variety reports that Matthew Lillard will return
for Scream seven, which might surprise fans of the franchise
since spoiler alert, he is totally killed to death in
the very first film. He was one of two killers
in that first movie and got stabbed pretty darn good.
Plus he had a TV dropped on him which shocked him,

(30:25):
presumably to the point of electrocution. But never mind that
he's gonna be in Scream seven. Maybe he's in a flashback,
Maybe he survived, we'll have to see.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
Maybe he's his character's long lost twin brother. I dude, Messiah,
the third in the Dune Treequel Treequel trilogy has officially started,
and by that I mean Villanovu is writing on working
on He's I cannot oh lord uh. The director is

(31:00):
writing the script right now. Yeah, they don't know when
they're going to get back to set, but one of
the actors thinks in the fault m.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
According to collider dot com, no relation. Nosferatu has hit
the top thirty grossing remakes ever. Specifically, at the time
of the article, it was at number twenty nine. It
was just ahead of the nineteen ninety one version of
Father of the Bride and just behind the twenty sixteen
remake of The Magnificent Seven. Though when I Google it

(31:30):
seems like Nosparato might actually be ahead of the remake
of the remake of the Seventh Samurai. Well, whatever the
actual ranking, Great job Eggers for making such a successful remake,
because those are pretty rare.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
Yeah uh uh. Big Knives Out is getting a third movie,
and Netflix has told us I'm sorry, I haven't had
enough coffee today. Netflix has told us the title now
Wake Up, dead Man Knives Out Mystery, and we've gotten
a first look at it in which Daniel Craig looks

(32:03):
a little shitty. He's got some long hair. I don't
know if I like that look for him, but I'm
sure it'll fit right into this story.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yeah. I haven't actually looked at that yet, so that's
on my list of things to do after we record.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
Well, media mega corporation Comcast plans to spin off a
quote freestanding, strong collection of businesses with lots of cash
flow generation capability for many years to come, good market
position and great focus end quote. That's according to Deadline,
So how this will actually take shape hasn't really been
shared yet. It will apparently consist mainly of most of

(32:37):
NBC universal cable networks, but the streaming and theme parks
sides would still stick with the Comcast part of the
company itself, which is clear as mud.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
Last story, I think, yes, last story. Okay, BBC is
teamed up with Children in Need, which is a chared
to raise money, and they're doing so by auctioning off
a bunch of old doctor who prompts in costumes and
things like that. So you can get a tartis if
you have enough money, you can get many of the

(33:14):
doctor's outfits or Donna Noble's bride dress or a dollk
it's pretty cool. The auction goes between February eleventh and
the twenty fifth, and we will link the Gismoto article,
which then links to where you can find out the
details about the auction in our show notes, just in

(33:35):
case anybody has come across a huge inheritance that is
burning a hole in their pocket and they're a doctor
who fan nice.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
All right, Well, that's all of thirty seconds or less,
and that was a ton of stuff. So we've got
lots of other stories to talk about because a whole
bunch of stuff is going down. And at the top
of our lineup, I put in a thing about how

(34:04):
you know it's that time of year again when the
superb Owl will take over televisions. It's gonna happen on
February ninth, So the Big Game, as they say, and
traditionally one of the big things about the Big Game
is that you get a whole bunch of very expensive commercials.

(34:25):
Sometimes they are very creative or entertaining, sometimes they are lame.
Sometimes the ones that I find to be the most
entertaining are the ones that critics find to be the
most lame, which maybe just says that I have a
really corny sense of humor. But often there are film
trailers that are part of that lineup of commercials. Doing that,

(34:52):
like adding a commercial into the Super Bowl, is expensive,
like eight million dollars for a thirty second, So for
that reason, there actually appear to be fewer companies putting
out trailers this year than usual. I watched a video
in which the host was talking about the stuff that

(35:14):
has been discussed so far. So for example, Warner Brothers
apparently is not putting any movie trailers in the actual
game itself. They are planning on having a trailer for
Superman that will play during the Puppy Bowl, Yeah, which
presumably would be very Crypto focused. That's what would make sense,

(35:37):
Crypto being Superman's super dog, That's my guess. But that's
all I've heard about that. The host said that you
shouldn't expect to see any trailers for movies like the
Minecraft movie or Final Destination, Final Destination, Bloodline, or Centers,

(35:59):
which actually it's really interesting, but that one's probably not
going to play either. He also said that Netflix, Amazon,
and Lionsgate also don't have any plans to air any
trailers during the game. Sony is unknown, but it would
be kind of surprising if they did. If Sony does
do it, then they might be showing off a trailer

(36:21):
for Karate Kid Legends, which I would love, or twenty
eight years later. A long shot would be their reboot
of I Know What You Did Last Summer. There's a
good chance there's not enough footage shot to put together
even maybe just a teaser, but that seems like a

(36:41):
long shot. The studios that are confirmed to have some
sort of trailers in the game include Paramount Pictures. So
the guess is that the Smurf movie will have a
trailer in there.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
Which do you have We talked about that before that
totally if it was on our radar, it has slipped
to my mind in time.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
Probably not. I mean, I know that Rihanna is in
this one.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
I know that it's a time traveling musical.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
I've heard that too other Paramount Pictures. Other Paramount Pictures
movies that might get a trailer shown during the game
include Novacane, Mission Impossible, The Final Reckoning. If that happens,
it might be a big spectacle type thing that happens
in the stadium, because that's kind of Tom Cruise's style
at this point. Then you've got Universal, which might include

(37:33):
like how to Train Your Dragon Megan two point zero
is a good bet, possibly something about Jurassic World Rebirth.
That's a possibility, and then you have Disney. So with Disney,
there are three trailers that the host mentioned, and he
said that he had heard only two are going to
be shown during the game, but he didn't know which

(37:53):
two of the three. So the three include Captain America
Brave New World, which is possible, but that comes out
like Valentine's Day, so it's it's almost here already.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
Thunder can't imagine they'd spend money on that at this point.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
That was kind of his point too, But it could
just be that they're trying really hard to get that
needle to move, because last the last projected box office
based upon pre sales is around ninety million, and I'm
sure Disney would love to see that number go up.
Thunderbolts was another possibility. I think that's pretty likely, and
then the third one, which is possible, would be Fantastic four.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
It feels like a perfect time to intro.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
It, possibly, as the host pointed out, and I tend
to agree like Disney typically is a little like they
like to they like to have more control over events
where they're showing off big tent pole stuff, So it's
like more often at a Disney event than at like

(38:54):
a big broad thing like the Game. So we'll see.
But others that we might see include l e O,
the Pixar film that you know we've seen a couple
of short trailers for, and the Lilo and Stitch live
action movie.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
I want to see trailers for both of those. I usually,
you know, our listeners know that I usually watch the
superb Owl and then all of the commercials and stuff.
This year, I won't be watching it because i won't
be busy doing other things, so I'm gonna have to
scrounge up all of the commercials after myself.

Speaker 2 (39:33):
I usually just go through, like I'll find an article
that someone wrote where they they divide up the good,
the bad, and the ugly, and then I'll just decide
which ones I want to watch.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
Yeah, but their opinions sometimes don't reflect the actuality of
the event.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
Sure, but I mean, like I'll still use them just
to learn what the commercial was, right, Like if it's
a commercial for a product that I don't like, or
a company that I don't like. I'm like, you know what,
I don't care how good your commercial is. I'm skipping
that one.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hope we get a fantastic four.
I understand we may not, but I hope we do.
I really really want the Lilo and Stitch trailer.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
Yeah, we've only seen little little hints mostly of what
Stitch looks like, and nothing of like what the other
aliens look like, and it would be kind of fun
to see what those designs are. And yeah, I'm hoping
we get something like that too. At the moment, I'm
mostly just kind of amused by the concept of a

(40:37):
live action Lelo and Stitch. I don't have any real
desire to see it because I think the cartoon itself
is pretty perfect.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
So it is. The cartoon is really good. I've only
watched it like one and a half time, so I
think ever, But yeah, I like stitches design a lot,
and I think it fits in well with the world.
I've said before, it's an imaginary creature, so it doesn't
have to look exactly like in a lion or a

(41:05):
war hoog or Dalmatian. But but the other aliens could
break it, you know, if they look goofy or they
don't interact with the real world.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
Well yeah, Well on top of that, we got a
video that shows off some of the you know, hintset,
some of the stuff that's coming out on Netflix this year,
and that was that was kind of cool. I mean,
obviously Netflix has launched off its promotion for all the
original content that it's producing or has licensed for twenty

(41:43):
twenty five.

Speaker 1 (41:44):
Yeah, and I honestly, I think it's their most effective
to doom trailer to date. It starts with a woman
who is bored in a work meeting and puts Netflix
on her phone and doesn't have it on silent, and
everybody looks at her, and then she gets pulled into
the world of all the nets flicks things that are happening.
But it starts off with stranger things and her getting

(42:05):
smacked through a wall by a Demi Gorgon and landing
in squid games, and I'm like, I don't want to
live in this world. Yeah, that's not for me. But
they also they also talk about a bunch of or
they also show a bunch of properties that I didn't
know were happening, or I have missed like Isaac Oscar,

(42:29):
Isaac and Frankenstein. We're getting trolls to troll too, Alison,
Borderland is when I missed that happened. But it's another
dystopian survival game thing.

Speaker 2 (42:44):
Yeah. At the end of the Netflix video that you
were mentioning earlier, there's like a list of projects that
start scrolling and then it just picks up speed faster
and faster. So it also becomes one of those things
where you need to put it on point two five
speed to have a chance to even read like half

(43:04):
of the things that are on there. It's a pretty
impressive list, at least as far as quantity goes quality.
That's something we'll have to find out that's these things launch.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
Yeah, it does confirm that we'll be getting another season
of Samman, which was up in the air considering all
of the recent news about the author.

Speaker 2 (43:24):
It.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
Also they don't mention anything about Bridgerton or One Piece
or Outer Banks, which means that those probably won't be
coming back until twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
Yeah. Well, one thing we know that is on the
way is you know, he's a bird, He's a plane,
He's Superman. We got a new TV spot for Superman.
I actually saw this when I was visiting my sister
and her family. That happened to come on television. I

(43:55):
was like, Oh, that's a new spot, and then next
thing I know, it's on our lineup.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
Yeah, you get to see a little bit more of
Lex Luthor and some robots and.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
Uh miss Teskmalker.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
Yeah, I think it. I think it looks good. I
know some people, I know the dog threw some people off.
I think this looks Everything that I've seen so far
from the Superman movie brings me hope, and so I
am hopeful for the movie. So forgot Gardner's bullcut, because.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
I mean that's just his comic accurate. Yeah, I think
I think the spot looks looks pretty good. It didn't
have a whole lot of stuff that we hadn't seen before,
apart from like getting a decent look at Lex Luthor,
who appears to be up in the Arctic Circle, presumably
looking for the fortress of Solitude, which I'm guessing is

(44:48):
gets getting a little less solitude. Uh yeah, it's you know,
it's it looks like it looks like it's a good
I'm actually also jazz that James Gunn said he's not
interested in rehashing the origin story for the billion of
time because like we've seen that so many different times.

(45:10):
And I think that's fine as long as you do
establish what Clark's relationship is with his parents and how
important they are to his worldview. I think that, like,
as long as I feel comfortable that that is maintained,
I'll feel a lot better than I did with the
Zack Snyder films.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, and you can do that because
like if you look at Spider Man Homecoming, they didn't
rehash Uncle Ben.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
Yeah, you don't even know if there was an Uncle Ben.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
Yeah, you find it later. But but so you can
definitely do that. You can you can bring in points
of history without it being the pearls breaking on the
ground of Batman's mother getting killed. Yeah, but I you know,
I think it looks good. I will say there are
a couple of the like CGI scenes when Superman is

(45:59):
flying where I'm like, did they put Nathan Fillion's face
on this? Poor actor.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
James Gunn has said explicitly that there's no CGI on
that face. It's that it's a wide angle lens with
a shallow depth of field, you know what for it
he Just just think of how Adam Scott's face changes
whenever he's in the elevator in Severance. It's that, it's

(46:26):
that kind of thing. Just imagine how much your face
would Just imagine how much your face would change if
a face hugger grabbed onto it. Because we got a
little teaser, that's my segue for the teaser for the
Alien Earth television show. Teaser really just shows So let
me ask you. Maybe I don't know if you even

(46:47):
remember this, but in the teaser, it shows like an
alien face hugger that's that's running rampant inside a spaceship
that's on a collision course for Earth. And it sounded
to me like it with Sigourney Weaver's voice saying containment breach,
like it was obviously a prerecorded warning type thing, but
sounded like her.

Speaker 1 (47:08):
It did a little bit. Yeah, it was so brief
though I couldn't I couldn't quite tell. I was more
distracted by the fact that I thought, when they first
started talking about this show, which is on FX and
who will be on FX and Hulu, that it was
going to be focusing less on established Xenomorphsinato space and

(47:29):
more on like the Wayland Tutani Corporation, but maybe I'm misremembering.

Speaker 2 (47:34):
Well, then we have a teaser where it alien clearly
an alien, even if it's not a face hugger, because it,
I mean, everything's moving super fast, so it's it's hard
to really get a good look at the alien design,
I guess, unless you're doing that pause, frame by frame thing.

Speaker 1 (47:52):
I didn't for this one. I should have.

Speaker 2 (47:53):
Yeah, but that's while.

Speaker 1 (47:54):
I do that real quick.

Speaker 2 (47:55):
No, We've got so much more to get through. Yeah,
I don't. I don't know. I look forward to hearing
more about this TV series. Like the alien movies, I
go half and half like some of the half of
them I really like. In the other half I don't.

Speaker 1 (48:14):
So yeah, yeah, same. I want to like it. I
want to like it. I didn't watch Romulus, so I
don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
I haven't heard good things, which is a shame because
when the trailers came out, we both thought, like, whoa,
this looks like super intense, like it's getting back to
its horror roots, Like this is definitely not a science
fiction action movie. This is a horror movie. But all
the all the reviews I saw were pretty mid to negative.

Speaker 1 (48:53):
Well, Prometheus and Covenant were also very gruesome horror movies.
They were so grucome that my friend, who loves horror
movies actually was totally on board with me turning off
when I tried to start to watch Covenant. But maybe
maybe they've watched it since, but at the time they
were like, yep, this is nope. But and they like

(49:16):
the Saw movies, so that's something. But uh, yeah, I
I think just the first two movies are so strong,
and they do a lot with a little that I think.
I think it was just They're like a perfect two
parter and I don't know if I need more, but

(49:39):
I'm interested in Wail and Utani and they're interactions with it.
My new, my new completely conspiracy theory is that alien
because it's crash landing on Earth, it wasn't prepared, it
doesn't have the proper safeguards in place, it gets smushed,
it becomes et, and we find out it's actually the
first night Xenamore.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
No. I thought it was just gonna end up being
the beginning of the live action Lee Low and Stitch movie.

Speaker 1 (50:07):
That would also be pretty funny.

Speaker 2 (50:10):
Next up, we have a trailer for a fantasy slash
kind of horror movie called a Knight's War, or as
I call it. We couldn't get the rights to the
name Dark Souls, but we're gonna make a movie about
it anyway.

Speaker 1 (50:29):
Yeah. I saw this and I didn't add it, and
then Jonathan did. I've never played Dark Souls, so I'm
not super familiar with it. Yeah, go ahead, Sorry, you
go ahead, No, you go ahead.

Speaker 2 (50:41):
All I was gonna say is that it has some
elements that are similar to Dark Soul's games. So in
Dark Souls games, you typically play a character who collects
souls as you defeat enemies, and you light bonfires, and
the bonfires are like safe points, So if you get killed,
you resurrect at one of these save points and you

(51:03):
lose the souls that you've collected. And in the movie trailer,
there's a thing up where one of the there's a
character who says to the main character, like, if you die,
you'll come back to life, so you can keep trying
to complete your quest or whatever. And it has the
same sort of visual aesthetic, you know, very dark and

(51:25):
grimy kind of fantasy, not your bright, shiny fantasy that
reminds me of a from software game.

Speaker 1 (51:33):
Yeah, which reminds me I meant to add the trailer
for the fantasy period piece that was like bits off
the Keats or the Yates poem or something like that
that I shared.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the one about children being
lured away by fairies.

Speaker 1 (51:51):
Yeah, there's a movie about that too.

Speaker 2 (51:53):
It also looks good. But yeah, that one looks good.
A night's where I don't think looks good.

Speaker 1 (51:59):
No, it feel very you know how we were talking
about all of the movies that Miila Jovovic Jeovivic's husband did.
It feels like that, like the production quality looks pretty good,
but it feels very melodramatic.

Speaker 2 (52:15):
Yeah. Yeah, it looks to me like it would be
very hard to connect with any of the characters that
are shown in the trailer. And that's a problem if
you want people to feel like your narrative resonates. So
we'll see I mean it as a trailer. It could
be that I'm making a completely unfair judgment on something

(52:35):
based upon a very tiny sliver of the overall project.

Speaker 1 (52:40):
Yeah, and the other movie I was talking about, I'll
let we won't talk about it because I haven't rewatched
the trailer, but it's called The Stolen Child. I'll add
it to our show notes in case anybody wants to
check it out, because it looks beautiful as I'll get out.

Speaker 2 (52:51):
Yeah, that one's the one that's based off the Yates
poem where it's about fairies. Well, the poem is about
how fairies were children away, So presumably that's what the
I mean with the title like that. Presumably it's the
same thing that the movie's about. Yeah. And then, on
a related note, on a film that seems like it's

(53:13):
like could easily bridge the gap between A Knight's War
and The Stolen Child, we have Robo Force, the animated series.
I mean clearly, clearly.

Speaker 1 (53:24):
It's it's like, it's like a kid, It's like a
Connecticut Yankee and King Arthur's Court, but with robots.

Speaker 2 (53:31):
No, it's a it's an animated series Robo Force, and
Robo Force in question is made up of a bunch
of robots that are clearly like a few generations older
than current technology, but then they are the ones called
upon to uh fight off a threat.

Speaker 1 (53:55):
Yeah, it's interesting because it looks it doesn't look like
it's made for kids. Watching the trailer. It doesn't look
like it's completely made for kids, although I'm sure kids
would enjoy it, but it's also not it's a little
bit tamer that I'm used to adult cartoons being nowadays.
That's not a problem. It just was interesting to me.

Speaker 2 (54:16):
Yeah, like if this had been made by the people
by the team behind Archer, for example, you would expect
a lot more crude humor relating to the robots, and
there really isn't any of that. It's much more goofy silly,
and it's it's not goofy silly to the point where
you're like, oh, this is going to be a zany
comedy where they're just making lots of jokes all the

(54:39):
way through. It's just jokes were happening in the trailer.
But I don't know, it wasn't coming across to me
like it was primarily a comedy. It came across more
like it's a primarily a action action adventure series with.

Speaker 1 (54:53):
A little bit of comedy. It like maybe they weren't
quite sure where they wanted to land on that, But
I'm I'm interested to see how it goes. You know,
to be is getting a lot more stuff and a
lot more original stuff. I was in a film that's
on toob so I'm interested in this.

Speaker 2 (55:16):
Yeah, I was like, I like the character design and stuff.
I'm curious to see it. Does it feel like it
is firmly enough in one camp versus the other for
it to be, you know, an enjoyable project. If it's
one of those things where it's like it can't make
up its mind what sort of genre it's in, and

(55:40):
it doesn't do enough to marry the different genres together,
that I probably won't stick with it. But if they
nail it, that that'd be fun. It's hard to tell
from the trailer. Like I didn't. I wasn't totally sold
by the trailer, but I was at least intrigued.

Speaker 1 (55:58):
Yeah, me too, me too. Once next we've got something
that I saw and I didn't add to our lineup
because I was like, no, this is just going to
be I don't I don't want to become like just
a horror podcast. But there's so much of it. Jonathan
pointed out in our pre in our pre show gaming
session like game plan session, that maybe I was right

(56:21):
or my friend was right that we're getting a lot
more horror this year. It certainly feels like it.

Speaker 2 (56:25):
Yeah, So in this case, the horror movie trailer that
you saw but did not want to add to the
lineup and then I did it anyway, is for a
movie called Bloat.

Speaker 1 (56:35):
Yes, and it should be on our lineup because it
has to deal with.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
Uh folklore, Yeah, Japanese folklore, so specifically a type of
spirit that lives in streams and ponds and such. So
the there's there's two things to talk about with this trailer.
I think one is that there's this folklore aspect where

(57:02):
in the course of the story a young boy appears
to be possessed by one of these water spirits, and
so there's a pressing need to try and rescue the boy,
to purge the spirit from the boy and make sure
the boy doesn't die. The other part is that it's

(57:23):
unconventional as far as your film experience goes. It's kind
of in that found footage category or something like unfriended,
where all the different sources of video are from things
like cell phones and laptops and zoom calls and that
kind of thing, which frankly makes me less interested in

(57:45):
it interesting.

Speaker 1 (57:47):
I I think sometimes found footage, like obviously it's a
Blair Witch project kind of paved the way for it,
But yeah, I think sometimes it can can be done
really well.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
I there are.

Speaker 1 (58:08):
You know, it's hard because since I'm an actor, sometimes
I know about stuff and I don't always know what
I can talk about. So I'm going to skip that.
But I'm going to say sometimes found footage is really
cool and compelling, and sometimes it's annoying. And I think
that it's nice that they're bringing all of this social
media into it. I don't think they'd do it poorly.
But like, I've never been a fan of like paranormal
activities where it's all just watching the security camera in

(58:31):
one room.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
Yeah. I like the first Paranormal Activity movie because it
was something different, but I found that as the franchise
went on, I found it less interesting over time. It's
also one of the problems of like horror that's based
on mystery, in that the more of the mystery you reveal,
the more heavily you need to lean on your narrative,

(58:54):
and if your narrative is not very strong, that it's
not going to support the franchise anymore. In this case,
there is a reason for it to be like all
this various forms of media, and it's that the father
in this case, he's in the military and he is
not stationed in the same place where his family is,

(59:15):
and so he's trying to monitor the situation and to
help and to take care of his kid the best
way he can when he's not actually there. So all
the interactions have to be through like cell phones and
zoom calls and all that kind of stuff, and that's
how it plays out, at least in the trailer. Like,

(59:37):
I don't think there was a single bit in the
trailer where it was presented as a normal film shot.
I think they were all at least presented as though
they were shot on a phone or a laptop. They
might they probably weren't, but that's how it's portrayed.

Speaker 1 (59:52):
So I guessess someone who has had to film on
a zoom call before. Yeah probably not.

Speaker 2 (59:58):
Yeah, yeah, because you usually and get as good a
quality of that. But the uh, I don't know. Like
I go back and forth on this. I think the
biggest issue I have with most found footage films is
that it's really hard to get me to forget, Like, like,
if it's found footage, I'm sitting there thinking like, okay,

(01:00:20):
but why would you be filming this bit, right, Like,
if it's just people chatting in a hallway and it's
not part like usually it's like a documentary group or something,
right that they're trying to capture something. But if it's
just a mundane conversation in a hallway, I'd be like,
you would never shoot this. That's too much work to
set up the cameras and the sound and all that.

Speaker 1 (01:00:38):
I mean, if it was like a security camera, like
just constant, like twenty four hour surveillance, right, maybe sure.

Speaker 2 (01:00:47):
But yeah, I'm just talking about like specific like, oh,
what was the one where it was essentially the Jim
Jones incident? It was ty West. It was one of
his movies and I can't remember what the name of
it is now, but it was so years ago with
Tye West did this film and the guy who played
essentially the Jim Jones like cult leader was phenomenal in it.

(01:01:08):
But I could not get over the fact that I
was watching bits for I was like, yeah, but you
would never have the camera on to even capture this
little bit here, because you'd want to save you know,
the digital space and the batteries and everything for when
you're actually shooting your documentary as opposed to when you're
just chatting about how weird stuff is, you know, like

(01:01:29):
it's not present the sacrament. Thank you. Yeah, I'm not
saying that that's how Bloat's going to come across. Bloat
might might marry marry the format with the story really well, Uh,
the trailer did not win me over, But it doesn't
mean that it's a bad movie.

Speaker 1 (01:01:49):
The trailer I made it think like it might be
a little scary for me. Knowing that it's like it's
it deals with Jemney s folklore does make me much
more interested in it. And another thing that makes it
a little geeky is the main The dad in the
movie is played by Ben McKenzie, who was Jim Gordon
on Gotham.

Speaker 2 (01:02:10):
I know I recognized him, but I could not put
my finger on where it was from.

Speaker 1 (01:02:14):
Same and I was like, no, I know, I know
him from somewhere. I've never watched the OC, what is it?

Speaker 2 (01:02:21):
Yeah, I didn't look into his IMDb, so I didn't. Yeah,
but now that totally makes sense. Next up, we got
another horror movie. This one's like a home invasion thriller
horror movie. It's called Everyone is Going To die.

Speaker 1 (01:02:34):
Yeah, this one I debate. I like, I don't know
if it belongs in our lineup. But Jonathan thinks that
horror is geeky in and of itself, even if it
doesn't have geeky or supernatural elements in the horror story.
So he lets me do that with action movies.

Speaker 2 (01:02:49):
I'll let it do it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:49):
I'll let him do it with horror movies.

Speaker 2 (01:02:51):
Yeah, I just think I think that, you know, there
are full conventions dedicated to horror, just like there are
for science fiction and fantasy. So to me, that shows
that there's like that geeky like community of fandom. So
for me, horror kind of falls into that. Now there
are like I can see where some people would say,

(01:03:12):
oh yeah, supernatural horror I get, But silence of the
Lambs horror, I don't think merits it like to me,
the lines are more blurred. But I totally understand people
who are like, oh no, the ghosts and demons and
boogey monsters. That one I totally understand.

Speaker 1 (01:03:26):
And that's also because you're a horror fan too, so
it is something you are geeky about in general.

Speaker 2 (01:03:32):
Yeah, so this one, everything everyone is going to die.
If you've seen Funny Games and or The Strangers. You've
probably seen this movie because when I saw like the
previous for The Strangers, the first thing I thought was, Oh,
this looks like a less intelligent version of Funny Games.

(01:03:52):
Funny Games is a film that's weird because not only
is it about a home invasion where these two guys
break into this this this couple's home and then start
to torture them for their own amusement, they also break
the fourth wall and they address the audience, and they
essentially imply that the audience is complicit in the terrible

(01:04:13):
things that are happening because this movie was made for
the audience's entertainment. It's a really this is kind of spoilery,
I guess if you haven't seen it, But that movie's
been out forever. So The Strangers is a much more
straightforward home invasion story. This looks like it's somewhere in
between maybe, but yeah, it's another one where like you've

(01:04:36):
got people living a seemingly quiet, unremarkable day and then
masked strangers break into their home and then calmly explain
they're going to probably kill everybody there. And I guess

(01:04:56):
the mystery is why and does anyone make get out?

Speaker 1 (01:05:01):
Yeah, the trailer does say like the does make it
seem like it might be similar to Funny Games, because
which I haven't watched, just based off your description, because
they're like, it's poignant and there's a conversation to be
had about it, so it feels like there will be
some message there. It's not just horror for horror sake.

Speaker 2 (01:05:20):
Well, and the fact that it's titled everyone is going
to Die, if we take that on it's on the surface,
then we just know no one makes it out. The
killers don't make it out, the victims don't make it out.
Everyone is going to.

Speaker 1 (01:05:32):
Die, yeah, but we don't know if everyone's going to
die in the next horror movie. Like I said, I
promise we are not a soul horror podcast. We will
find other things to talk about as well. But in
the next trailer we have, it's for a movie called Locked,
starring Bill scars Guard and Anthony Hopkins.

Speaker 2 (01:05:50):
And for once, Bill's scars Guards not the monster. I mean,
he's not a good guy, but he's not the bad guy.
He's the victim.

Speaker 1 (01:05:59):
He's the guess that's the protagonist of his story.

Speaker 2 (01:06:02):
Is the same way as Carrie Elwiz is in Uh, Saul.
He's he's a He's a guy who has made some
bad choices and he's being punished for them by someone
with a psychotic sense of justice in this case Anthony Hopkins,
also against type. I mean, we've never seen Anthony Hopkins
play a murderous psychopath, have we? Never?

Speaker 1 (01:06:24):
Have we never?

Speaker 2 (01:06:27):
What? I don't remember that movie.

Speaker 1 (01:06:34):
One of the horror movies I actually like. I haven't
watched The Red Dragon, I haven't watched Hannibal, but I
did watch Silence of the Lambs and it was good.

Speaker 2 (01:06:41):
I was I was being facetious.

Speaker 1 (01:06:43):
Okay, back when, back when I could handle that kind
of a storyline. I can't anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:06:47):
But yeah, so uh. The trailer shows Bill Scar's guard.
He's like, he's like a thief. He pounces on opportunities
where he checks doors of vehicles to see if they're
unlocked and then tries to steal stuff from them.

Speaker 1 (01:07:02):
Which is so common I've occasionally. My complex doesn't have
an outlet, so we don't get a lot of crime,
but whenever we do, it's someone who's like, they just
opened my car door because it was unlocked and took
what was in out opportunistic.

Speaker 2 (01:07:18):
So yeah, so in this case, he tries it for
a few different vehicles, and one of them is this
really fancy looking suv and he gets inside of it
and then he is locked inside of it, and then
the soothing voice of a psychotic Anthony Hopkins comes on
over the speaker system and explains that he is now

(01:07:38):
going to be punished for his behaviors. And yeah, it's
just about how the Bill scars Guard's character is then
punished and tortured and while trying to escape this vehicle
that has been reinforced to an extent that any seemingly

(01:07:59):
useful way of getting out has been countered already.

Speaker 1 (01:08:03):
Yeah. Again, I don't I don't know if this fits
into the line up outside of the fact that it's
a horror movie, and horror is a geek genre all
of its own. But you know, you have to click
on it when you see that it's Bill scars Guard
because he's done so many things that are more geeky.

Speaker 2 (01:08:21):
Yeah. Well, and Anthony Hopkins too, I would argue, But yes.

Speaker 1 (01:08:23):
Anthony Hopkins as well, and cars as well too. If
you look at Christine, which I've never watched, but.

Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
Or or the film Cars from Pixar.

Speaker 1 (01:08:31):
Yeah scared, Yeah, nope, my brain doesn't want to go there.
So yeah, interesting. I don't know if I'll watch it,
But if you watch either of those two movies, you'll
have to let me know how they go.

Speaker 2 (01:08:46):
I will. What about Sinners? Would you consider watching this one?
It's a vampire movie?

Speaker 1 (01:08:53):
Is it a vampire movie?

Speaker 2 (01:08:55):
It's a vampire movie.

Speaker 1 (01:08:56):
It's not a cannibal movie.

Speaker 2 (01:08:58):
I mean, I guess depends on your view of vampires versus.

Speaker 1 (01:09:02):
Cannibals, because when I watched, there have been a couple
Centers has released a couple of trailers in the past
couple of weeks. In the first one I watched, or
one of the teasers I watched, had like three of
the bad guys come up to a door at a
barn concert essentially and a barn party, and it looked
like they were not drinking blood but rather just eating

(01:09:26):
they It sounded like they were going to just straight
up consume these people. And I can handle vampires, but
I can't handle cannibalism. It's a weird line.

Speaker 2 (01:09:36):
I know. Well from what I understand, it's not like
so it's not firmly in any one specific category. It's
kind of another one of those movies that bridges a
few different genres, because yes, there are vampires, and vampires
are creatures that are part of this movie, but it's

(01:09:59):
also about the power power of music, like the seemingly
mystical power of music. You think about things like the
legends of the musician who sells their soul to the
devil in order to play better at the crossroads, right,
Like it seems to feel like yeah, yeah, Like I
think there's a lot of that, and then there's like,

(01:10:20):
you know, the the things like organized crime or just
criminals in general. The main characters are twin brothers, both
played by Michael B. Jordan, and you get the feeling
like they're both kind of involved in perhaps less than
legal activities. You know, it's a story of like Black

(01:10:44):
America in early twentieth century. There's a lot of stuff
going on that makes it look really interesting to me.

Speaker 1 (01:10:53):
Yeah, it does look very interesting to me. It gives
me like, I like the story, I like I like
the the the music, and like the devil went down
to Georgia stuff, and I like, I like, uh, looking
at black history because it gives me very like Lovecraft
Country vibes. It was literally just because I thought that

(01:11:14):
the bad guys were cannibals that I was like, No,
it also has the bit I like Michael B.

Speaker 2 (01:11:18):
Jordan.

Speaker 1 (01:11:19):
I like a lot of stuff Ryan Coogler has done.
Both Creed and Black Panther are amazing and so I
and I like Hailee Steinfeld who is also in it.
And uhh knew when me uh Mausaku who was in it.
She was also in Loki and Lovecraft Country. So yes,

(01:11:39):
Initially I was very very drawn to this movie and
I want to see it. I was just worried that
there's gonna be like people chewing off arms.

Speaker 2 (01:11:47):
Yeah, I think it's more like chewing on necks and
or chests in order to get to that sweet sweet
blood juice.

Speaker 1 (01:11:53):
Maybe maybe I I I don't. It's one of those
ones that like, I want to support it in the
theater if it's going to theaters, but I don't know
if I could handle it in a theater.

Speaker 2 (01:12:03):
That's fair. I think that's fair. I think it looks
like it looks like it's incredibly well made from a
technical perspective, like the cinematography, the lighting, the costumes, all
of that stuff looks like they really did a great job. Like,
if this doesn't get some nominations for technical awards, I'll

(01:12:23):
be surprised because it just looks like it's people at
the top of their craft who have worked on this.
I don't know if the film itself is going to
measure up to all the technical work. I hope it does.
It certainly has me interested. It's one of those where
I could see myself going to see this.

Speaker 1 (01:12:43):
If you go to see it, let me know, maybe
I'll come with you and I just will cover my
eyes during the scary parts, and if I stand up
and scream in the middle of the theater, you can't
say you were warned. Yeah, yeah, you don't have to
invite me.

Speaker 2 (01:12:59):
But I would invite you in a heartbeat, because I
don't like seeing movies by myself, and I don't know
who else would go with me to see it.

Speaker 1 (01:13:07):
So yeah, I am more interested in Sinners than I
am in the next movie we're going to talk about,
called Ash, despite the fact that Aaron Paul is in
it and I think he's phenomenal.

Speaker 2 (01:13:18):
Yeah, this is a This is the one that made
me think of Dead Space, right because I said that
A Knight's War made me think of Dark Souls, and
Ash made me think of Dead Space. It's a science
fiction horror and the main character wakes up and has

(01:13:39):
at least partial amnesia and does not really remember who
she is or where she is, but has little flashes
of moments where like quick snippets of memories flash into
her mind and there appear to be you know, monstrous
things around and she doesn't know who she can trust,

(01:14:03):
and she doesn't like it appears that her crew has
been killed off. But she encounters someone and you know,
is that someone that she could trust or is that
someone who's a danger? You know, there's a lot of
open questions from this trailer. I think it's just to
try and give you a sense of the vibe of
the movie. But yeah, I saw this. I've never played

(01:14:23):
Dead Space, but it just makes me think of that
video game series from the stuff I've seen.

Speaker 1 (01:14:28):
I mean, I've never played Dead Space. I have watched
My husband played Dead Space and he eventually had to
give it up. So he likes some like scary video games,
like Eternal Darkness, which is very good because it messes
with you as a player. But yeah, dead Space is

(01:14:50):
very bleak. This looks doesn't quite look as bleak as
dead Space to me.

Speaker 2 (01:14:54):
Yeah, maybe not. I don't know. I think it's the
whole amnesia thing. Also that's giving me video game vibes
because how many games have you played or watched where
at the beginning you're playing a character who has no
memory of who they are or where they came from.
And I guess the choice for that is so that you,
as the player can feel more like you're inhabiting this character,

(01:15:18):
as opposed to if the character's fully defined and they're
different from you, you're not going to feel that connection,
I'm guessing. But it's weird to see it in a movie.

Speaker 1 (01:15:27):
Yeah, it is. It is a little weird.

Speaker 2 (01:15:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:15:31):
There was another video game that made its rounds recently
on social media called like Mouthwash or something like that
that looked so disturbing and upsetting but also had to
Kenny deal with amnesia and very few left alive on
a spaceship. Popular Popular troupe.

Speaker 2 (01:15:49):
Yeah. Yeah, And we'll actually talk a little bit more
about video games in just a second, but we got
a couple couple more movie and series trailers to talk about.
And first up is a trailer for almost a Cohen
Brothers esque kind of crime caper. It looks like called
Riff Raff with Bill Murray in it.

Speaker 1 (01:16:11):
Yeah, Bill Murray, Jennifer Coolidge, Pete Davidson. And then who
is the other guy, the other father in it?

Speaker 2 (01:16:20):
Oh, I'd have to look it up. I just watched
it before.

Speaker 1 (01:16:23):
We it's Ed Harris.

Speaker 2 (01:16:27):
Harris, yes, yes, yes, Ed Harris, yes, famous actor, great actor. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:16:31):
And Lewis Pullman, who I'm guessing is Bill Pullman's son,
because you can't have the same name as somebody if
un Yeah, I mean it again. This one. I don't
know if it falls into the geek category other than
the fact that it looks vaguely Cohen Brothers. Y. It
looks like it's two like gangster families that end up

(01:16:54):
staying at somebody's cabin in the woods and they got
beef and they're gonna kill each other. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:17:03):
Yeah, it's hard to tell. Yeah, it's really hard to
say what's actually going on. Like the bits they showed
were more like to give you an idea of characters
as opposed to what the story is. So, for example,
Bill Murray's character is a cantankerous mobster type who sometimes
makes somewhat rash decisions as it turns out, which he

(01:17:25):
will be first to admit in his very nonplus, you know,
deadpan kind of way. And you know, I have a
Gabrielle Union is in there. She appears to be just
like someone who's caught in the middle of all this craziness. Like,
I thought that the trailer had a lot of funny
little moments in it, even though I couldn't really get

(01:17:47):
a handle on what the story is supposed to be.
Jennifer Coolidge is very funny and extremely let's say, i'll
use the beetle juice word. She's anxious, if you know
what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:18:04):
Yeah, yeah, which is not completely against type, but it
does feel like a different character than I normally see
her play.

Speaker 2 (01:18:11):
Yeah, she doesn't. She doesn't come across as being totally
like clueless or you know, ditsie.

Speaker 1 (01:18:23):
Yeah, and I'm gonna Lewis Pullman is Bill Pullman's son.
I am ashamed that I don't know this because he
is making rounds in the geekho sphere. Jonathan. He was
in Salem, the New Salem's Lot. He's going to be
in Thunderbolts. He was in bad Times at El Royal
Lessons in Chemistry, so like a bunch of geeky stuff.
I haven't watched most.

Speaker 2 (01:18:42):
Of it, but yeah, yeah, I am unfamiliar with his
work as well. So but this trailer, like I said,
it looks I mean, it looks funny. It does have
that kind of Cohen Brothers weird like a lot of
weird characters being thrown together sort of thing. I don't
think it feels quite as absurd as your typical Cohen

(01:19:07):
Brothers movie, does. I mean, there's some Coen Brothers movies
that aren't absurd at all, that are just, you know,
kind of kind of brutal, like No Country for Old
Men is not really that absurd, or their remake of
True Grit, for example, but a lot of their films
I just kind of associate with almost like a fairy

(01:19:28):
tale ish feel to it. This doesn't quite have that.
It does have the odd characters though, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:19:35):
Yeah. Speaking of odd characters, Shonda Rhimes is taking a
run at Rian Johnson's success with Knives Out by giving
us a mystery drama TV series called The Residents Inside
the Private World of the White House, which that title
makes you go, why are you talking about this on LLENZ,
But when you watch the trailer, it feels like knives Out,

(01:19:58):
just with Uzu Aduba as the lead.

Speaker 2 (01:20:01):
Yeah. So, uh, she's attending a function at the White House.
Don't know why she's there or what the function is really,
but apparently someone appears to have been murdered and she
starts to look into it. And it's got a lot
of other like notable actors, a lot of actors who

(01:20:23):
have made a name in comedy, like one of the
members of the State is in there.

Speaker 1 (01:20:28):
She and Carlo Esposito's in there too, and yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:20:31):
So there's there's a lot of big names in there,
or names that are notable for their their hefty work.
So this one also, I feel like it really did
have that knives Out kind of vibe where, yes, it's
about a murder, it's a murder mystery, but it's clearly
got a lot of comedy elements to it.

Speaker 1 (01:20:50):
Yeah, for sure. Ken Marino is a guy from the State,
which Randall Park. Is it just a huge cast of
geeky people.

Speaker 2 (01:20:57):
Yeah, the residents looks uh looks fun like I will like,
I definitely want to see this because I feel like
it'll scratch that itch that I have for things like
Knives Out or poker Face.

Speaker 1 (01:21:15):
Yeah, yeah, I'm I also want to see it. And
I skipped over the trailer three times in looking for
things to talk about this week.

Speaker 2 (01:21:24):
I'm really glad. I finally looked, Yeah, well, we've got
a couple of video game stories to talk about, like
that aren't related to the movies we just mentioned. Ariel,
you came across a couple of videos, one about a
game that I had not heard of yet, and one
that finally gave us more details about a game I've

(01:21:46):
been anticipating ever since I saw the teaser.

Speaker 1 (01:21:49):
Yeah. The first is a it is described by Bloody
Disgusting as Lovecraft meets a medical sim It's called Do
No Harm, and it's you're, yeah, you're this doctor who
has to see patients and treat them based on their maladies.
But some of them might be old ones or deep
ones or Cathulian horrors.

Speaker 2 (01:22:12):
Yeah, it's it's it's set in like the you know,
early twentieth century too. Like it's like or maybe even
late nineteenth century, based upon the outfits that you see
and like, so we're not talking about modern medicine. Here
we're talking about like someone out in the sticks who's
seeing to the residence of some like out of the

(01:22:33):
way town or village or something.

Speaker 1 (01:22:35):
You've got like four different glass jars of different colored fluids.
So it might be even be like balancing humors. Who knows.

Speaker 2 (01:22:44):
Yeah, it seems to me like it reminds me of
a game like Papers Please, where you have someone come forward,
you have to assess that person based upon the what
you are able to observe. You. Then you know, you
reference your material to see what is the proper treatment
on your diet based on your diagnosis, and so like you,

(01:23:07):
like Ariel was saying, you've got these four different colors
of liquid, my guess it will be something like, oh, okay,
well it needs to be two ccs of red and
one cca of blue and maybe one sec of yellow,
and then that cures this particular ailment. And so it's
something where you have to decide, oh, based upon what

(01:23:28):
I'm observing, it's most likely the patient has this particular
illness which has this particular treatment. But because there's also
this weird lovecrafty and element to the game, there may
be cases where you're faced with the decision of do
you help this person are they a person at all?

(01:23:49):
And that brings us back round to the title of
do no Harm, which of course is a central tenet
of medicine.

Speaker 1 (01:23:58):
I'm super interested in this game, super interested in this game.

Speaker 2 (01:24:02):
It looks cool.

Speaker 1 (01:24:03):
Yeah, and I enjoyed. I was bad at papers Please,
but I really enjoyed it. So the other one we're
going to talk about is South of Midnight, which we've
talked about a couple of times. We got the story
trailer which shows us that the main character is looking
for her mom after they got hit by a hurricane
and her house got swept away.

Speaker 2 (01:24:24):
Yeah, if you don't remember the teaser for this ages
and ages ago, it has a very strong, like Louisiana
sense of place and that there appeared to be some
sort of weaving element of magic. We didn't really see
any weaving of magic in this particular trailer, but we
did see lots of magical critters. And yeah, like Aeriel

(01:24:48):
was saying, now we know that the young woman, the
protagonist of the video game that you play as, is
out to try and rescue her mother. They had just
had an argument. It's that classic trope of two people
have an argument, one of them leaves, and then immediately

(01:25:08):
some calamity befalls the other one, And so the person
who's left behind is filled with guilt and shame because
their last interaction was, you know, an argument, and they
really love the person who's been taken away, so now
they're extra motivated to go and rescue them. It just
so happens that this also is taking place in a
world that's filled with magic and mystical creatures, including alligators

(01:25:32):
that are the size of an island.

Speaker 1 (01:25:34):
Yeah, and giant giant caffish. It looks like part of
her job in unweaving this unweaving this mystery is that
she might have to help some of these animals that
got contorted by Mattings.

Speaker 2 (01:25:46):
Yeah, it's it looks really interesting to me. I've been
saying that since I saw the teaser. Like the teaser
struck me as being really super cool.

Speaker 1 (01:25:56):
Yeah, it's just a great art style. It looks like
a a fun story. The music and it is wonderful
from what I've seen from the trailers. Yeah, I'm very
interested in this game too. I guess I gotta start
playing video games again.

Speaker 2 (01:26:12):
Yeah, I think this week i've heard of like four
different games, and I want to try all of them now,
So I'm like, I don't know where I'm gonna get
the time to do that.

Speaker 1 (01:26:22):
There's like a split something. There's like a something hard
something of this romance of this seae, Like a bunch
of really interesting video games have come out this week.
I almost added them all, but our show is already
running very long.

Speaker 2 (01:26:37):
Yeah, so maybe we should wrap this up.

Speaker 1 (01:26:41):
Yeah we should, so, Jonathan.

Speaker 2 (01:26:45):
Uh huh, how do people reach you? Well, what you're
gonna do is you're gonna go and they're gonna watch
Scream eight. And I know they haven't even put out
Scream seven yet, but you're gonna have to go and
watch screenmate, because here's the crazy thing. It's gonna be
revealed about three quarters of the way through Scream eight

(01:27:07):
that the person who appears to be pulling the strings.
Though obviously this is a misdirect, you're never going to
find out three cords of the way through who the
killer is, but you're gonna be led to believe that
it's me, which is weird because I didn't even get
cast in that movie. And you're going to watch, as
I have seen after seen with other characters, and everyone
grows increasingly more suspicious of me until I run off

(01:27:31):
the side of the screen like I'm exiting screen stage
right and then house left. I come around the back
of the screen. I'm there in person, and I'm yelling
back Metropolis style at the screen behind me, and Nev
Campbell looks really confused, and she's gonna ask me a question.
You're gonna have to wait your turn because I'm gonna
have to answer her first because otherwise the movie doesn't happen.

(01:27:53):
And then after that you can ask me what your
question is.
