I went to the roller skating rink 00:01:49.859 --> 00:01:53.560 this weekend, Sean. Then it was goth night at 00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:55.420 the roller skating rink. Did you tell me that 00:01:55.420 --> 00:01:57.819 part already or no? No, I omitted the part that 00:01:57.819 --> 00:02:01.739 it was goth night. Fucking awesome. So it was 00:02:01.739 --> 00:02:04.140 just I mean, it was like Hornback's dream. It 00:02:04.140 --> 00:02:08.620 was just like good looking goth chicks just fucking 00:02:08.620 --> 00:02:13.879 going around in circles like trapped. just how 00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:18.379 he likes them yeah contained forced conversation 00:02:18.379 --> 00:02:21.219 options yeah not all of them were good skaters 00:02:21.219 --> 00:02:23.199 so he was bound to catch at least one or two 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:26.300 that's true was he there or were you just imagining 00:02:26.300 --> 00:02:29.020 he would love it he was supposed to come hang 00:02:29.020 --> 00:02:33.900 out uh that night um but he like he couldn't 00:02:33.900 --> 00:02:39.490 get away because he had you know uh But so I 00:02:39.490 --> 00:02:41.770 kept him appraised of the situation. I didn't 00:02:41.770 --> 00:02:45.889 take photos because not a creep, but. Yeah, he 00:02:45.889 --> 00:02:47.889 probably would have wanted you to, but good job. 00:02:47.909 --> 00:02:50.409 Yeah. Way to maintain. I like to deny him a little 00:02:50.409 --> 00:02:52.330 something. That's true. Edge him along. Yeah. 00:02:52.650 --> 00:02:57.210 That way when it comes, there's just too much 00:02:57.210 --> 00:03:02.250 stuffing. So much stuffing. Blam! Busting out 00:03:02.250 --> 00:03:10.289 of the seams. This is a kid's episode. Yeah, 00:03:10.310 --> 00:03:13.990 I'll get it all out. I mean, it's not like we 00:03:13.990 --> 00:03:17.789 play it for kids. No, although Cora multiple 00:03:17.789 --> 00:03:21.569 times saw me like looking at screen grabs of 00:03:21.569 --> 00:03:23.770 this movie and she was like, I want to watch 00:03:23.770 --> 00:03:26.189 that. And I was like, I don't think so. No, I 00:03:26.189 --> 00:03:27.930 don't think I could sit through this twice. Please 00:03:27.930 --> 00:03:32.349 don't. Please just forget about this one, Cora. 00:03:32.430 --> 00:03:34.909 Ignore this one. I would watch Frozen again a 00:03:34.909 --> 00:03:37.050 hundred times over watching Astro Boy again. 00:03:37.270 --> 00:03:41.490 Oh, man. I mean, yeah, animations changed a lot 00:03:41.490 --> 00:03:45.509 in 16 years. It's interesting to think, though, 00:03:45.530 --> 00:03:48.349 that like Astro Boy came out in 2009. Another 00:03:48.349 --> 00:03:51.069 movie that we watched of Nick Cage in that was 00:03:51.069 --> 00:03:55.699 animated in 2009. GeForce. Oh, OK. Which like 00:03:55.699 --> 00:03:58.419 also looks like shit, but maybe looks like better 00:03:58.419 --> 00:04:01.620 shit. Yeah, I would take GeForce, I guess. I 00:04:01.620 --> 00:04:03.580 mean, were they both 3D? This was 3D, wasn't 00:04:03.580 --> 00:04:05.360 it? Well, GeForce was like that half and half. 00:04:05.500 --> 00:04:08.180 They had real actors in there as well. Yeah, 00:04:08.259 --> 00:04:10.819 but they just had things like busting out. There's 00:04:10.819 --> 00:04:13.780 a lot of busting. No, like it was 3D, like made 00:04:13.780 --> 00:04:15.639 for a 3D screen, wasn't it? Yeah, I mean, it 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.600 was in that era. Yeah, I'm sure. there was like 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:21.420 a hamster ball that bounces into the screen or 00:04:21.420 --> 00:04:23.680 whatever the fuck. Fergie just swings out of 00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:29.319 a door. Boom, boom, pow. We just had to slip 00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:32.060 one more into the script, so we got Fergie. It 00:04:32.060 --> 00:04:34.959 was cheaper than the royalties? I don't know. 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:39.839 Welcome back to Cage Match, colon, roundabout 00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:42.160 way of meeting Nicholas Cage. I'm your host, 00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:46.959 Sean. I'm here with my co -host. Peter. And our 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:50.399 producer. Nick, I guess. Shit. No, that's a lot 00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:54.720 of work. Yeah. Being you, sometimes I can imagine. 00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:59.500 I mean, that's a lot of head to have to carry 00:04:59.500 --> 00:05:01.120 around. That's a lot of head to fill. I can just 00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:04.199 put my face on part of it. That's the best part 00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:07.339 about being me is all the head. Speaking of giant 00:05:07.339 --> 00:05:09.879 heads, this week we're talking about Astro Boy. 00:05:10.620 --> 00:05:13.620 He does have a big old fucking dome. Big noggin. 00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:17.980 Yeah. Big noggin -y boy. Not a boy. This movie 00:05:17.980 --> 00:05:26.360 is fucked. He was a boy. He was briefly. He briefly 00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:30.899 was a boy. And then he got atomized. Yeah. Yeah. 00:05:31.180 --> 00:05:33.399 And then his dad had a nervous breakdown, made 00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:36.339 robot son and immediately was like, what have 00:05:36.339 --> 00:05:40.180 I done? This is not my son. Send it away. Yeah. 00:05:40.259 --> 00:05:42.560 So like the thing that I immediately thought 00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:43.839 about when I started watching this, I was like, 00:05:43.860 --> 00:05:46.100 one, that's pretty fucked up plot line. which 00:05:46.100 --> 00:05:49.839 is accurate for the TV show, too. But like I 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:52.339 had forgotten how much this is just Mega Man 00:05:52.339 --> 00:05:55.560 and made me really want like an actual proper 00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:58.259 Mega Man movie. Oh, that would be pretty cool. 00:05:58.379 --> 00:06:00.600 And then I did a little dive into it and there 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:06.120 was like a homemade home brew. Sure, sure. And 00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:09.199 it looks so fucking bad. It actually has some 00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:12.019 CGI in it. But like the main character playing 00:06:12.019 --> 00:06:15.160 Mega Man is like. I don't know our age and his 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:18.060 blaster is so shitty looking. I know. Did you 00:06:18.060 --> 00:06:22.259 ever see the brief American nineties Mega Man 00:06:22.259 --> 00:06:24.759 cartoon show? I'm sure I did. I don't really 00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:27.680 remember it very well. It wasn't good. And Mega 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:30.439 Man was like, all the robots were like super 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:34.259 jacked. Awesome. You know, America. Well, yeah, 00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:38.620 we're, we're horny for buff boys. Yeah. And Mega 00:06:38.620 --> 00:06:41.259 Man had like his power was if he just touched 00:06:41.259 --> 00:06:43.199 another robot, he absorbed that power. So that's 00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:47.399 how they got around that. So he's Kirby. Kind 00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:50.480 of. It was fun. It had do yourself a favor after 00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:53.879 the record. Go watch the intro because it had 00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:58.439 a banger song as all 90s cartoon shows did. Yeah, 00:06:58.500 --> 00:07:18.569 all right. I'm fairly intrigued by that. So I 00:07:18.569 --> 00:07:22.610 do want to ask two things. One. You can ask. 00:07:23.230 --> 00:07:26.910 Okay. First statement. Stupid boy. Even robot 00:07:26.910 --> 00:07:29.769 boy. Dumbest child we've seen yet in this, in 00:07:29.769 --> 00:07:33.810 any Nicolas Cage project. Has perma shorts, you 00:07:33.810 --> 00:07:36.350 know, on. Doesn't take notice of that. Metal 00:07:36.350 --> 00:07:39.810 feet. Still thinks he's a boy. Isn't only after 00:07:39.810 --> 00:07:42.769 he's flown through the city, dug through a mountain. 00:07:43.899 --> 00:07:46.060 It has to be told he's a robot. He does bust 00:07:46.060 --> 00:07:47.759 straight out of that mountain, too. Yeah, he 00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:50.279 fucking goes hard. And even then, he has to use 00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:53.220 his own X -ray eyes to look into his hands to 00:07:53.220 --> 00:07:56.100 see the robot skeleton to realize he's a robot. 00:07:56.699 --> 00:08:01.759 Yeah. Dumb child. Yeah. I mean, if you woke up 00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.000 tomorrow, I just don't know, if you woke up tomorrow 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:08.439 and, like, you did something just wild, like, 00:08:08.500 --> 00:08:11.180 you fucking... Got up without aches and pains. 00:08:11.420 --> 00:08:15.019 Yeah. Let's start with that. Would you think 00:08:15.019 --> 00:08:18.000 that it was cool or would you immediately suspect 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:21.759 you were a robot? I would think it was cool, 00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:24.939 but would have questions. Yeah. And when you 00:08:24.939 --> 00:08:26.560 take your morning shit, when it's just motor 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:31.519 oil, would you think that that would see a morning 00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:34.000 shit would be the most concerning thing because 00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:37.519 I am not regular at all. Oh, man, that's unfortunate. 00:08:37.779 --> 00:08:39.679 There were a lot of like weird aspects about 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:42.120 being Astro Boy. It's like, why did he breathe 00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:44.720 heavily when he was working hard doing something? 00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:46.700 It's like, shouldn't that not be an issue? Yeah, 00:08:46.740 --> 00:08:49.860 he doesn't really need to breathe. Blinking seems 00:08:49.860 --> 00:08:54.409 unnecessary. Yeah. I mean, maybe for maybe it's 00:08:54.409 --> 00:08:58.769 just that human brain coding. Why did they give 00:08:58.769 --> 00:09:01.809 him eyelids? Because have you ever seen a doll 00:09:01.809 --> 00:09:04.889 like, oh, man, you know, those dolls that like 00:09:04.889 --> 00:09:06.990 when you lift it up and it lifts its eyelids. 00:09:07.389 --> 00:09:09.409 That's fucking creepy. It is creepy as shit. 00:09:09.509 --> 00:09:11.649 Yeah. Well, maybe he just wanted a really creepy 00:09:11.649 --> 00:09:15.190 son. Maybe his son was creepy previously. He 00:09:15.190 --> 00:09:17.610 was kind of a shit. Yeah, it's interesting. So 00:09:17.610 --> 00:09:19.409 for this movie, they tried to like Americanize 00:09:19.409 --> 00:09:23.279 up. toby a little bit oh yeah he liked weapons 00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:26.419 yeah well that's true he did but they like they 00:09:26.419 --> 00:09:29.960 they defeminized his eyelashes and they made 00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:33.159 him less pear -shaped and you know they aged 00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:35.440 him up a little bit they gave him clothes and 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:36.980 they gave him clothes although he does have his 00:09:36.980 --> 00:09:39.480 like classic astro boy look the trunk when his 00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:42.759 stuffing has busted yeah yeah when he's out there 00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:46.059 busting stuff okay so plot line sean you were 00:09:46.059 --> 00:09:49.450 kind of getting into it dumb kid dad yeah no 00:09:49.450 --> 00:09:55.250 uh dumb kid dies uh brutally brutally massive 00:09:55.250 --> 00:09:58.950 murder atomized there are two there's positive 00:09:58.950 --> 00:10:00.750 and negative energy and never the twain shall 00:10:00.750 --> 00:10:04.570 meet um and the president uh has decided that 00:10:04.570 --> 00:10:06.690 the only way he's gonna win his re -election 00:10:06.690 --> 00:10:09.210 the president of this flying city that has just 00:10:09.210 --> 00:10:13.080 said fuck ground people um has decided the only 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:14.480 way he's going to win his election is with a 00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:17.019 big, cool war machine that he can just sick on 00:10:17.019 --> 00:10:20.059 sick on the terra firma folk. I did like that 00:10:20.059 --> 00:10:22.100 it was called Peacekeeper or whatever. Yeah, 00:10:22.100 --> 00:10:26.159 but and he wants to give it like the red energy, 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:30.299 which is uncontrollable. Yeah, it's all bad stuff. 00:10:30.500 --> 00:10:32.919 It's all the spice, no sugar. Toby like sneaks 00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:36.639 in. And yeah, his father, played by Nicolas Cage, 00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:41.200 created the robot, created most robots. And when. 00:10:41.789 --> 00:10:45.990 The experiment inevitably goes wrong. Toby, being 00:10:45.990 --> 00:10:49.190 the asshole kid he is, sneaks in, gets stuck 00:10:49.190 --> 00:10:52.250 behind the explosion -proof glass with the exploding 00:10:52.250 --> 00:10:58.070 robot, and is vaporized. Yeah. But not his mega 00:10:58.070 --> 00:11:03.110 hat. Not his mega hat. I pegged that, too. And 00:11:03.110 --> 00:11:07.870 then his science daddy... feels bad and makes 00:11:07.870 --> 00:11:10.649 himself a new boy and then immediately regrets 00:11:10.649 --> 00:11:14.009 it when the new child has thoughts of its own. 00:11:14.250 --> 00:11:17.389 And then president wants old blue energy back. 00:11:17.450 --> 00:11:22.570 So wants to hunt Toby down. Astro boy. Now, if 00:11:22.570 --> 00:11:26.870 he got the blue energy to energize the peacekeeper, 00:11:27.009 --> 00:11:30.409 it just wouldn't kill people. It was just going 00:11:30.409 --> 00:11:33.009 to use all the positive stuff. Yeah, it really 00:11:33.009 --> 00:11:35.110 would have been a friendly handholding. You save 00:11:35.110 --> 00:11:38.320 people, but. Like Hugbot. Yeah. Nuclear Hugbot. 00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:41.039 Hugatron. Yeah, I don't know what the real goal 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:43.259 of that would have been because it had guns and 00:11:43.259 --> 00:11:46.539 shit. Yeah. You know, by default, they were peace 00:11:46.539 --> 00:11:50.639 guns, though. I mean, Toby had guns, too. That's 00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:53.220 true. In his butt. Butt guns. I got machine guns 00:11:53.220 --> 00:11:57.120 in my butt. Which is canonical. That's awesome. 00:11:57.259 --> 00:12:00.159 I was really surprised by that. Was his father 00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:04.600 afraid of him being molested? I don't know, man. 00:12:05.370 --> 00:12:08.070 I looked up like what were Astro Boy's signature 00:12:08.070 --> 00:12:11.090 moves and... Butt guns? Because he did that like 00:12:11.090 --> 00:12:12.730 tornado spin at one point. I was like, I wonder 00:12:12.730 --> 00:12:14.730 if that's one of them. And it is not. But butt 00:12:14.730 --> 00:12:18.090 guns, definitely. Interesting. Across the medium. 00:12:18.470 --> 00:12:20.990 The thing I immediately noticed about the animation 00:12:20.990 --> 00:12:26.190 in this movie, one, is bad. Two, they gave everyone 00:12:26.190 --> 00:12:30.490 weirdly human lips. I did not notice that. Oh, 00:12:30.570 --> 00:12:33.169 man. How fucking sorry. How fucking great would 00:12:33.169 --> 00:12:35.850 this be if it was like a Bob Odenkirk movie? 00:12:37.049 --> 00:12:40.230 Everybody was just animated. But then they had 00:12:40.230 --> 00:12:45.730 a weird fucking wet ass mouth. Everything just 00:12:45.730 --> 00:12:47.470 looks like those old Quiznos subs commercials. 00:12:47.809 --> 00:12:57.289 The sponge monkeys. We love the subs. uh but 00:12:57.289 --> 00:13:01.610 yes they did have weirdly really kind of strange 00:13:01.610 --> 00:13:04.710 lips yeah they had rent like they had like smooth 00:13:04.710 --> 00:13:08.289 plasticky like cg skin and then just like weirdly 00:13:08.289 --> 00:13:11.210 overly textured and wet lips and i hated it i 00:13:11.210 --> 00:13:14.570 hated every minute of it i thought it was so 00:13:14.570 --> 00:13:17.529 i don't know i i didn't like how uh like the 00:13:17.529 --> 00:13:22.980 adults were so goofily drawn or animated but 00:13:22.980 --> 00:13:26.259 like the children were all like kind of proportional 00:13:26.259 --> 00:13:29.080 and real ish well and that's the thing that's 00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:31.480 strange because like in the original anime and 00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:35.559 manga they don't really look like these caricatures 00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:37.980 oh i'm sure i mean like this is just the best 00:13:37.980 --> 00:13:39.919 anime i guess but why wouldn't you have tried 00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:43.279 a little harder i mean oh man you could have 00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:45.639 done a little more style it's early 3d you could 00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:48.450 have just over exaggerated shit yeah I mean, 00:13:48.450 --> 00:13:51.570 they just didn't have that G -Force budget, I 00:13:51.570 --> 00:13:53.629 guess. The G -Force budget. But I sent Sean a 00:13:53.629 --> 00:13:56.309 picture from Toy Story 1. Do you remember Sid, 00:13:56.509 --> 00:13:58.850 the, like, fuck -off kid from Next Door? Yeah, 00:13:58.909 --> 00:14:00.429 a real piece of shit. He looks like dog shit. 00:14:00.610 --> 00:14:04.350 He looks so bad. And, like, even still kind of 00:14:04.350 --> 00:14:06.330 looks better in some ways than the shit that's 00:14:06.330 --> 00:14:09.090 in this movie. Yeah, he's generally proportional. 00:14:09.789 --> 00:14:11.269 I mean, like, obviously he looks like crap and 00:14:11.269 --> 00:14:13.850 he has those dumb braces and horrible hair. But 00:14:13.850 --> 00:14:16.330 he doesn't have, like, slick worm lips. Yeah. 00:14:17.629 --> 00:14:23.070 good kissers right there so birds oh worm lips 00:14:23.070 --> 00:14:26.929 motherfucker so yeah i mean the cast like to 00:14:26.929 --> 00:14:28.909 your point a while ago sean when we were talking 00:14:28.909 --> 00:14:30.629 about one of the other animated movies it's like 00:14:30.629 --> 00:14:33.549 this concept of getting good voice actors or 00:14:33.549 --> 00:14:36.370 sorry like notable voice actors versus good voice 00:14:36.370 --> 00:14:39.009 actors is really weird to me it's like this is 00:14:39.009 --> 00:14:43.120 a great cast but like why yeah of people who 00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:46.600 are better at not voice acting right like donald 00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:49.120 sutherland as the president sucks he sounded 00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:51.299 like he was in a recording in a trash can the 00:14:51.299 --> 00:14:53.759 entire time until he was in the robot when i 00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:56.539 was like that kind of works now yeah samuel jackson 00:14:56.539 --> 00:14:58.860 zog or whatever you can barely even tell it's 00:14:58.860 --> 00:15:02.039 him yeah except for that like first line yeah 00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:05.820 and then after that it's like he didn't say motherfucker 00:15:05.820 --> 00:15:08.139 i think that really threw us off yeah that's 00:15:08.139 --> 00:15:10.259 fair But yeah, I mean, it's good. Like Nathan 00:15:10.259 --> 00:15:12.440 Lane's a main character in there. What kind of 00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:14.960 major character? But like Elle Fanning is like 00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:18.940 one of the kids, which is bizarre. She has like 00:15:18.940 --> 00:15:22.080 three lines. Carlton was a squirt bottle. Yeah. 00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:24.980 Like what the fuck?

Mr. 00:17:03.269 --> 00:17:06.970 Squirt. Mr. Squirt and Mr. Squeegee. Yeah. Played 00:17:06.970 --> 00:17:10.710 by Alan Tudyk. And Carl. They're like just window 00:17:10.710 --> 00:17:13.150 washers. But like, where does all the fluid come 00:17:13.150 --> 00:17:15.670 from from Mr. Squirt? Because like he's cleaning 00:17:15.670 --> 00:17:18.630 the windows with his own essence. What the fuck 00:17:18.630 --> 00:17:21.829 is it? He's got the stuff.

And they're like, that's it. 00:18:06.670 --> 00:18:08.390 We're heroes. We're going to do it, too. That's 00:18:08.390 --> 00:18:11.670 our protocol. Yeah. Save people. Fucking Asimov. 00:18:11.710 --> 00:18:14.390 I didn't really think about it that the one rule, 00:18:14.509 --> 00:18:18.269 the first rule is like robots can't hurt humans. 00:18:18.470 --> 00:18:22.390 So how do the war robots work? Instilling these 00:18:22.390 --> 00:18:25.589 kind of rules into robots kind of up to the people. 00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:28.220 There isn't like just some like. That's true. 00:18:28.539 --> 00:18:32.140 Base element that's that has to be used for robots 00:18:32.140 --> 00:18:35.619 that unfortunately makes them incapable of hurting 00:18:35.619 --> 00:18:37.779 people. We made these kill bots, but they just 00:18:37.779 --> 00:18:40.279 don't want to kill people. God, I just wish I 00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:44.799 didn't have to make the hole out of pussy. That's 00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:50.480 degrading. Yeah. To robots. Oh, yeah. Ryan Stiles 00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:52.720 was his teacher. Like, what the fuck? Why are 00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:55.000 these people in this movie? Oh, did you see the 00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:58.799 teacher's name? Mr. Mustachio. Yeah. I think 00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:00.480 that's got to be like an actual holdover from 00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:03.200 the real anime. But yeah, of course. Sure. Well, 00:19:03.259 --> 00:19:06.299 again, this movie clearly isn't made for fans 00:19:06.299 --> 00:19:08.839 of the anime. No, I mean, you wouldn't think 00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:12.299 so. I mean, OK, so its budget was 62 million 00:19:12.299 --> 00:19:15.299 or something like that. And it made 45 million 00:19:15.299 --> 00:19:18.339 like it absolutely ate shit. And in the U .S. 00:19:18.339 --> 00:19:21.039 market, it made like six million bucks. Yeah, 00:19:21.140 --> 00:19:24.400 really? Kind of required that Asian bump. Yeah. 00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:27.440 And even the Asian market. This is pretty bad. 00:19:27.500 --> 00:19:29.119 No, it's actually really big in South Africa. 00:19:29.220 --> 00:19:33.180 Really? I know. I'm just making that up. How 00:19:33.180 --> 00:19:35.319 many movie theaters do you think are in South 00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:39.039 Africa? I have no idea. I mean, I think it's 00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:43.559 a it's not like a podunk country. I mean, I've 00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:46.779 seen in District 9. I know what I'm looking at. 00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:50.460 What was the other one with the robot? chappy 00:19:50.460 --> 00:19:52.819 oh chappy yeah i never saw that one was that 00:19:52.819 --> 00:19:55.920 south africa too uh yeah uh because it had the 00:19:55.920 --> 00:20:00.500 d ant word oh of course yeah guys in it it was 00:20:00.500 --> 00:20:03.079 terrible too i did actually kind of enjoy it 00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:07.779 uh i just can't stand uh ninja and what fair 00:20:07.779 --> 00:20:12.700 enough fucking bucket yeah 51 okay 51 movie theaters 00:20:12.700 --> 00:20:15.690 in south africa So I can see how that would float 00:20:15.690 --> 00:20:19.369 this movie. Yeah, exactly. The majority of this 00:20:19.369 --> 00:20:23.150 is definitely South Africa. Yeah, fuck you, South 00:20:23.150 --> 00:20:26.109 Africa. You made me watch this. Well, and just 00:20:26.109 --> 00:20:28.630 even going back to like getting all of these 00:20:28.630 --> 00:20:30.529 non -voice actors, like trying to get all these 00:20:30.529 --> 00:20:32.490 star, like trying to sell this on star power. 00:20:32.690 --> 00:20:35.670 Again, animated film, ostensibly for children. 00:20:35.890 --> 00:20:38.609 No child knows anybody in this movie. No, of 00:20:38.609 --> 00:20:39.890 course not. I mean, who's going to be like, oh, 00:20:39.950 --> 00:20:45.269 Bill Nighy's voice. Nathan Lane. right oh notable 00:20:45.269 --> 00:20:47.529 child actor nathan lane you could at least be 00:20:47.529 --> 00:20:51.509 like oh he was pumbaa oh yeah but through the 00:20:51.509 --> 00:20:55.009 power of friendship he you know astro boy learns 00:20:55.009 --> 00:20:58.890 to be a hero and saves the day yeah well okay 00:20:58.890 --> 00:21:00.589 so i mean there is some stuff that we can talk 00:21:00.589 --> 00:21:02.089 about in the middle because they have to fill 00:21:02.089 --> 00:21:06.359 out a lot of movie with basically garbage so 00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:09.859 he lands on a garbage planet earth that was a 00:21:09.859 --> 00:21:11.400 nice transition there should be a word for that 00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:15.700 and um some like scrap heap zombie robots see 00:21:15.700 --> 00:21:19.140 him and they're like batteries do you have charge 00:21:19.140 --> 00:21:23.220 oh yeah i do love why the earth is a giant trash 00:21:23.220 --> 00:21:26.279 heap because whenever they get done with a robot 00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:28.420 or whenever a robot breaks on the floating city 00:21:28.420 --> 00:21:31.339 they just throw it off the side and because it's 00:21:31.339 --> 00:21:33.930 just floating over the earth The whole earth 00:21:33.930 --> 00:21:36.069 is just like covered in garbage. Yeah, so he 00:21:36.069 --> 00:21:38.630 ends up on like a torso pile, which is weird 00:21:38.630 --> 00:21:41.230 and creepy. Throw him on the torso pile. Then 00:21:41.230 --> 00:21:44.490 some kids capture him with the help of a robot 00:21:44.490 --> 00:21:47.609 dog named Trash Can. Tight dog. I like that dog. 00:21:47.750 --> 00:21:49.549 Best character. But then they're like, oh no, 00:21:49.630 --> 00:21:52.630 he's a kid. And the robot dog's like, no, he's 00:21:52.630 --> 00:21:54.849 not. He's a robot, but only... He only says it 00:21:54.849 --> 00:21:57.089 to the illiterate child. Spells it out in the 00:21:57.089 --> 00:21:59.630 dirt, yeah. The only person who understands what 00:21:59.630 --> 00:22:03.309 he says are robots. Sure. And then he tries to 00:22:03.309 --> 00:22:05.130 write it out. But everybody who lives in Trash 00:22:05.130 --> 00:22:08.529 World are illiterate. Because presumably because 00:22:08.529 --> 00:22:11.250 their dad adopted dad, Nathan Lane, doesn't teach 00:22:11.250 --> 00:22:13.710 them anything because he's a dick. Yeah. There's 00:22:13.710 --> 00:22:16.630 the robot resistance front. I loved the robot 00:22:16.630 --> 00:22:18.430 resistance. They were pretty good. That's probably 00:22:18.430 --> 00:22:20.690 my favorite part. Like, it's pretty dumb gag 00:22:20.690 --> 00:22:23.470 overall. But like, I liked it. Yeah.

This movie got a solid 00:23:10.569 --> 00:23:12.970 fucking laugh out of me. Best fucking joke I've 00:23:12.970 --> 00:23:16.529 seen in a long time in an animated film. Nice 00:23:16.529 --> 00:23:20.029 qualifier. When Nick Cage gives the Astro all 00:23:20.029 --> 00:23:23.349 of the books to study, and one of them is Descartes, 00:23:23.349 --> 00:23:25.829 and it was titled Descartes Before the Horse. 00:23:26.509 --> 00:23:29.210 that fucking got me i took a photo of that and 00:23:29.210 --> 00:23:32.089 sent it to peter i'm like solid fucking joke 00:23:32.089 --> 00:23:33.970 see and then i couldn't laugh at that one because 00:23:33.970 --> 00:23:36.769 i already knew it was coming so i ruined the 00:23:36.769 --> 00:23:39.430 best joke for you but yeah the resistance front 00:23:39.430 --> 00:23:41.769 is cool then astro boy gets saved by the the 00:23:41.769 --> 00:23:44.470 kids because they think he's a boy and then he 00:23:44.470 --> 00:23:47.890 goes to work for hammock just uh finding robots 00:23:47.890 --> 00:23:51.750 and stuff that can be repaired for yeah uh what 00:23:51.750 --> 00:23:54.730 is just kind of loosely referred to as the robot 00:23:54.730 --> 00:23:57.720 games Which is Robot Fight Club. Yeah. Later 00:23:57.720 --> 00:24:00.519 to be discovered is Robot Fight Club. But only 00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:06.079 after Astro Boy reanimates a giant robot that 00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:11.339 was made before. Before times. Yeah. Before Asimov's 00:24:11.339 --> 00:24:14.559 rules. Exactly. So Samuel L. Jackson can still 00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:16.859 stomp on people. But Astro Boy still saved the 00:24:16.859 --> 00:24:18.839 guy he was going to stomp on. Because Astro Boy 00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:22.140 is a good boy. Yeah. He can't allow humans to 00:24:22.140 --> 00:24:24.660 be hurt because of, you know, first rules. Right. 00:24:25.069 --> 00:24:26.849 Do you think that's why? Or was it just because 00:24:26.849 --> 00:24:29.369 he was like, yeah, they explained it and like, 00:24:29.390 --> 00:24:32.009 oh, he was compelled to do it. Yeah, they're 00:24:32.009 --> 00:24:34.309 not allowed to hurt humans. They're not allowed 00:24:34.309 --> 00:24:38.109 to have their actions like create. No, I know 00:24:38.109 --> 00:24:39.650 that part, but I didn't know that Astro Boy was 00:24:39.650 --> 00:24:42.349 beholden to the same rules. Yeah, he's still 00:24:42.349 --> 00:24:44.210 part of it. And plus, you know, he's all blue 00:24:44.210 --> 00:24:46.269 energy. Yeah, right. It's all good stuff. Yeah, 00:24:46.309 --> 00:24:48.589 right. All sugar, no spice. All sugar, no spice. 00:24:49.289 --> 00:24:51.150 That's when Astro Boy never is going to fuck. 00:24:51.269 --> 00:24:55.390 No. Sorry, Astro Boy. It's too spicy. The butt 00:24:55.390 --> 00:24:59.529 guns do nothing for you. Well, while on Trash 00:24:59.529 --> 00:25:03.650 World, Astro Boy befriends Kristen Bell, who 00:25:03.650 --> 00:25:05.970 voices Cora. Another reason you can never let 00:25:05.970 --> 00:25:08.089 your daughter watch this movie, Peter. Otherwise, 00:25:08.190 --> 00:25:10.470 you'll never not be watching this movie. Exactly. 00:25:10.509 --> 00:25:13.430 She's like, I'm represented. That girl has purple 00:25:13.430 --> 00:25:16.869 dyed hair. That's all I want now. She does actually. 00:25:17.230 --> 00:25:19.769 Cora the other day, she was like, I really would 00:25:19.769 --> 00:25:22.930 like rainbow hair. I was like. You and me both, 00:25:22.930 --> 00:25:25.509 child. I don't care. You can do that. I just 00:25:25.509 --> 00:25:27.569 don't know what the correct age to allow your 00:25:27.569 --> 00:25:30.809 child to have rainbow hair is. Don't stymie your 00:25:30.809 --> 00:25:33.650 child, Peter. Yeah. There is a character in this 00:25:33.650 --> 00:25:38.450 movie named Dr. Pig Knuckle. What? Who played 00:25:38.450 --> 00:25:42.650 Pig Knuckle? Marianne Garger. Man, I can't think 00:25:42.650 --> 00:25:45.730 of any. Because Bill Nighy was Dr. Elephant. 00:25:46.289 --> 00:25:49.009 And then Cage was, you know, obviously Dr. Tenma. 00:25:49.210 --> 00:25:52.079 Eugene Levy was Orin. Yeah, I mean, there were, 00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:55.740 like, over a baker's dozen, like, great actors 00:25:55.740 --> 00:25:59.220 in this film. Doing mail -in voice work. Very 00:25:59.220 --> 00:26:01.500 minimal. None of them good voice actors. Matt 00:26:01.500 --> 00:26:04.420 Lucas is probably the only one who sold it. He 00:26:04.420 --> 00:26:07.279 was Sparks. I thought he did a good job. Nathan 00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:09.599 Lane was fine, I mean, but he was just playing 00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:12.420 a fucking heel, so it's not that hard, you know? 00:26:12.619 --> 00:26:16.019 Yeah. You get to glower and, now you're gonna 00:26:16.019 --> 00:26:20.279 fight, you know? Yeah. Right in my games. oh 00:26:20.279 --> 00:26:25.279 no yeah what's up with him being like oh so he 00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:30.980 he uh tricks astro boy into like going down to 00:26:30.980 --> 00:26:33.839 these games and then he like stuns him and throws 00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:36.920 him in and makes him part of the game why does 00:26:36.920 --> 00:26:41.140 he get upset when astro boy does well yeah right 00:26:41.140 --> 00:26:43.700 like it's like this is just entertainment for 00:26:43.700 --> 00:26:47.250 the people yeah he fucking crushes it yeah I 00:26:47.250 --> 00:26:48.910 know. It's interesting, though, that Astro Boy 00:26:48.910 --> 00:26:50.269 is immediately like, I'm not going to fight. 00:26:50.710 --> 00:26:52.970 I'm not doing it. I'm not fighting. I'm not fighting. 00:26:53.029 --> 00:26:54.650 And then that robot, like, tries to take two 00:26:54.650 --> 00:26:56.170 swipes at him. He's like, I'm murdering this 00:26:56.170 --> 00:26:59.289 fucking robot. I'm blasting his head off. Yeah. 00:26:59.430 --> 00:27:03.109 I mean, he does have the memories and emotional 00:27:03.109 --> 00:27:06.410 stability of a teenage boy. That's true. Yeah. 00:27:06.869 --> 00:27:10.609 With butt guns. With butt guns. Butt guns. And 00:27:10.609 --> 00:27:12.450 his mega blasters. I mean, he did have those. 00:27:12.609 --> 00:27:15.529 Yeah. Mega blasters, butt guns. Yeah, and I love 00:27:15.529 --> 00:27:17.410 Mega Man. What's your favorite Mega Man game? 00:27:18.670 --> 00:27:23.049 Four is the one I played the most because it 00:27:23.049 --> 00:27:25.589 was the one that was like most readily rentable 00:27:25.589 --> 00:27:29.190 when I was a child. With Pharaoh Man. Yeah. Dive 00:27:29.190 --> 00:27:33.569 Man. Skull Man. That's cool. Yeah, I think three 00:27:33.569 --> 00:27:37.309 was mine. Gemini Man. Needle Man. Snake Man. 00:27:37.410 --> 00:27:40.730 I think the correct answer is two is the best. 00:27:41.369 --> 00:27:43.819 Yeah. But I mean, my favorite would be four. 00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:46.900 Did you ever play the like Dreamcast Mega Man 00:27:46.900 --> 00:27:51.640 Legends game? Yes, I played it. Yeah, I played. 00:27:51.700 --> 00:27:54.000 So like that, that's like Mega Man without his 00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:55.740 helmet. Most of the game, he's got like anime 00:27:55.740 --> 00:27:57.380 hair and he's running around and there's all 00:27:57.380 --> 00:27:59.900 these other anime people ish. You know, it's 00:27:59.900 --> 00:28:02.400 like that's a better movie than this is. The 00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:06.880 whole thing is easier and better. But yeah, this 00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:09.039 is what we got. I tried to go back and play Mega 00:28:09.039 --> 00:28:13.099 Man Legends, emulate it a few years ago. And, 00:28:13.099 --> 00:28:15.900 oh, God, the world before they figured out that 00:28:15.900 --> 00:28:17.779 you could use the right analog stick for a camera 00:28:17.779 --> 00:28:21.480 is a scary one. Because the way you turn left 00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:24.559 or right or the camera is to hold down the left 00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:26.859 or right shoulder buttons. Gross. And it moves 00:28:26.859 --> 00:28:30.779 very slowly. Yeah. It's sort of that Resident 00:28:30.779 --> 00:28:33.720 Evil, like, tank movement style. Yeah. Which 00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:36.019 did add to the, like, terror in those games. 00:28:36.119 --> 00:28:38.799 Because it's like, oh, my God, I really can't 00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:43.619 move. Fuck. OK, so, Sean, you were saying last 00:28:43.619 --> 00:28:46.660 episode that your friend thought that this was 00:28:46.660 --> 00:28:49.980 the best Nick Cage. This was their favorite Nick 00:28:49.980 --> 00:28:52.000 Cage movie. They haven't. She hasn't watched 00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:53.819 a lot of Nick Cage movies. I am changing. Has 00:28:53.819 --> 00:28:57.299 she seen any other Nick Cage movies? We've gone 00:28:57.299 --> 00:28:58.900 and seen the unbearable weight of massive talent 00:28:58.900 --> 00:29:02.539 together. OK, so she's seen more now. But this 00:29:02.539 --> 00:29:04.519 was the one I think she's watched the most of. 00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:08.660 And I believe her dog was named after Toby. Oh, 00:29:09.099 --> 00:29:12.400 wow. Shit. onward and upward toby well i hope 00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:14.680 they don't listen to this episode because we 00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:19.519 are dunking on movie is dog shit yeah it's bad 00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:22.660 it's a bad movie yeah i wish i had more like 00:29:22.660 --> 00:29:26.119 fun things to say about it but like the animation's 00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:29.579 bad the design is bad like i didn't even i couldn't 00:29:29.579 --> 00:29:31.779 even remark on what the music was like Cause 00:29:31.779 --> 00:29:35.059 it rolled completely off my brain. Nope. I don't 00:29:35.059 --> 00:29:37.599 remember. Was there music? There could have been 00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:38.920 none. There was music when they were cleaning 00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:41.640 Zog's body off, but it was like an actual song. 00:29:41.859 --> 00:29:44.500 Oh yeah. It was like a montage thing. Yeah. What 00:29:44.500 --> 00:29:47.539 was the studio behind this again? Well, I mean, 00:29:47.539 --> 00:29:50.640 okay. So like the production company is Imagine 00:29:50.640 --> 00:29:53.119 Animation Studios who went under immediately 00:29:53.119 --> 00:29:56.119 after this. Of course. Good. It feels like a 00:29:56.119 --> 00:29:59.539 passion project for somebody who then like lost 00:29:59.539 --> 00:30:01.799 all the passion for it while they. actually made 00:30:01.799 --> 00:30:05.140 the thing lost control of it to studios who knows 00:30:05.140 --> 00:30:07.920 man because it definitely seems like there's 00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:10.960 just no heart in this thing yeah for like the 00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:13.259 anime is cute like it's all about heart it's 00:30:13.259 --> 00:30:16.119 about like astro boy being a really good little 00:30:16.119 --> 00:30:20.119 dude and like having this i mean his his core 00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:22.299 in the anime is a heart like it's a little heart 00:30:22.299 --> 00:30:26.220 power core you know but that's too femme for 00:30:26.220 --> 00:30:29.240 the u .s audience at the time so i suppose yeah 00:30:29.789 --> 00:30:33.049 Turned into a blue sphere instead. Because Americans 00:30:33.049 --> 00:30:36.369 only understand red versus blue. That's it. Yeah. 00:30:36.430 --> 00:30:39.490 No other color dynamics in this country. Too 00:30:39.490 --> 00:30:42.549 confusing. But yeah, I don't know. It's just 00:30:42.549 --> 00:30:44.329 an unfortunate kind of movie where there's just 00:30:44.329 --> 00:30:48.210 really not all that much to give it credit for 00:30:48.210 --> 00:30:52.109 even, you know. It's of the era of kind of crappy 00:30:52.109 --> 00:30:54.670 animation and it embraces that. Like what really 00:30:54.670 --> 00:30:58.289 pissed me off is that. this is like you could 00:30:58.289 --> 00:31:00.950 have had hyper color you know like make everything 00:31:00.950 --> 00:31:04.450 super punched up comic -y all that kind of stuff 00:31:04.450 --> 00:31:06.549 but instead they picked like washed out color 00:31:06.549 --> 00:31:11.009 palette like it's just not appealing yeah i think 00:31:11.009 --> 00:31:13.369 this could have worked if they would have just 00:31:13.369 --> 00:31:18.150 gotten rid of the whole earth subplot with the 00:31:18.150 --> 00:31:21.890 other kids and just like given us 20 more minutes 00:31:21.890 --> 00:31:23.410 of him on the run or 20 more minutes of him in 00:31:23.410 --> 00:31:25.269 the city or just fighting aliens or something 00:31:25.269 --> 00:31:28.109 rather than trying to like have this whole secondary 00:31:28.109 --> 00:31:31.609 plot in the film. Or just make the movie shorter. 00:31:32.190 --> 00:31:34.390 I'm fine with that as well. Well, yeah, cut out 00:31:34.390 --> 00:31:37.049 an entire 30 minutes in the middle. No, but I 00:31:37.049 --> 00:31:38.089 think you're right, because the whole point of 00:31:38.089 --> 00:31:40.029 that is to like, oh, he learns about friendship 00:31:40.029 --> 00:31:43.170 and he learns about his powers. That's sort of 00:31:43.170 --> 00:31:45.029 it. And he learns that there's conflict about 00:31:45.029 --> 00:31:48.230 how people view robots. It's a little backup 00:31:48.230 --> 00:31:52.500 from the. ground dwellers yeah in the end the 00:31:52.500 --> 00:31:55.680 rrf yeah but that's it like there's nothing and 00:31:55.680 --> 00:31:58.579 you could have had that happen in almost any 00:31:58.579 --> 00:32:01.259 other different format you can learn those lessons 00:32:01.259 --> 00:32:05.500 i i did i don't think i hated this movie that 00:32:05.500 --> 00:32:09.299 as much as you two did like i enjoyed it enough 00:32:09.299 --> 00:32:12.279 um i wouldn't say it was fun but i wasn't like 00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:15.240 miserable um and the one part where i'm just 00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:17.400 like fuck this movie and fuck this writer and 00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:21.390 just fuck everything was when They capture Astro 00:32:21.390 --> 00:32:24.750 Boy. They take Nick Cage takes the core out. 00:32:25.609 --> 00:32:28.789 Only to sleight of hand it to put it right back 00:32:28.789 --> 00:32:31.430 in to let Astro Boy go. It's like you could have 00:32:31.430 --> 00:32:34.630 just let him go. Yeah, I think he was still being 00:32:34.630 --> 00:32:38.569 a good little bitch boy up until that moment 00:32:38.569 --> 00:32:41.529 where he he realized where he had to kill his 00:32:41.529 --> 00:32:45.869 child again. Exactly. He had to watch his son 00:32:45.869 --> 00:32:50.720 go by dad. I love you. Yeah. Yeah, that part 00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:53.940 probably hurt a lot more. The hardest part of 00:32:53.940 --> 00:32:56.579 any any parent's life if their child dies is 00:32:56.579 --> 00:33:00.940 that final when they power down for the last 00:33:00.940 --> 00:33:04.160 time. As you hold their beating heart in your 00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:09.359 hand. The final servo were. I remember his first 00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:16.579 servo were. um i wish we got more of the background 00:33:16.579 --> 00:33:20.759 of dr tenma's uh close -up magic yeah i mean 00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:22.700 i would like to see him in college trying to 00:33:22.700 --> 00:33:26.279 like compete in like open mic nights doing a 00:33:26.279 --> 00:33:28.539 little bit a little bit of sleight of hand a 00:33:28.539 --> 00:33:32.640 little maybe maybe yeah oh yeah oh it's giant 00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:34.960 quarter He rolls it down his shoulder into a 00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:37.480 hat and then like dumbs out like 30 pennies. 00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:40.359 Well, I guess 25. 25 makes more sense, but 30 00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:42.799 is funnier because it doesn't make sense. Some 00:33:42.799 --> 00:33:45.859 fucking autistic person will count and be like, 00:33:45.940 --> 00:33:49.200 hey, that's too many pennies. Oh, yeah. OK, so 00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:52.119 let's do let's see vocal performances. Who do 00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:54.119 you think actually did a good job other than 00:33:54.119 --> 00:33:57.559 Matt Lucas? I would say Nick Cage at least sounds 00:33:57.559 --> 00:34:01.089 like he was in a consistent sound booth. yeah 00:34:01.089 --> 00:34:03.289 it just seemed like he was phoning it into me 00:34:03.289 --> 00:34:05.690 but it was better than his performance in the 00:34:05.690 --> 00:34:08.550 like Christmas Carol Christmas Carol yeah that 00:34:08.550 --> 00:34:10.989 was real bad I mean I'm not saying his performance 00:34:10.989 --> 00:34:13.769 is good I'm saying it was consistent okay which 00:34:13.769 --> 00:34:16.750 I can't say for most other people in this movie 00:34:16.750 --> 00:34:19.349 yeah Kristen Bell was fine but she did nothing 00:34:19.349 --> 00:34:22.530 yeah I mean Freddie Highmore who plays Astro 00:34:22.530 --> 00:34:26.469 Boy and Toby like again didn't have a big ask 00:34:26.469 --> 00:34:29.550 it's like you have to be sort of a dewy eyed 00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:34.739 Dipshit. Yeah. I mean, I like Nathan Lang. I 00:34:34.739 --> 00:34:38.719 think he does a good job. He's a very characterful 00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:44.079 voice. So David Alan Greer, Alan Tudyk. They 00:34:44.079 --> 00:34:45.619 were good. I mean, they were probably my favorite 00:34:45.619 --> 00:34:47.579 dumb bit of the entire thing. They weren't that 00:34:47.579 --> 00:34:51.780 funny, but I liked the concept of Mr. Squirt. 00:34:51.860 --> 00:34:57.000 So stupid. Yeah. So stupid. It's so dumb. Trash 00:34:57.000 --> 00:35:00.849 can was great. The voice of trash can. Yeah. 00:35:00.849 --> 00:35:02.670 There's a, there's a voice actor listed for trash 00:35:02.670 --> 00:35:05.829 can. Well, it's kind of like, uh, speaking of 00:35:05.829 --> 00:35:09.110 Alan Tudyk, uh, he's like the voice of the rooster. 00:35:09.349 --> 00:35:16.550 Yeah. Yeah. I mean, just cause. Great. We can 00:35:16.550 --> 00:35:19.829 do that. Here's $3 million. Exactly. I don't 00:35:19.829 --> 00:35:22.150 think he made $3 million for that, but we'll 00:35:22.150 --> 00:35:25.199 find out. Yeah, we will. we'll google that i'm 00:35:25.199 --> 00:35:28.320 gonna find out and remind us all in a month when 00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:30.440 no one will remember any of this perfect those 00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:33.980 are my favorites did i think anybody else did 00:35:33.980 --> 00:35:39.579 a really good job no no not not nothing stands 00:35:39.579 --> 00:35:42.480 out at least yeah like none of the fights are 00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:45.760 all that great like at the end so donald sutherland 00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:48.059 the president ends up getting absorbed into the 00:35:48.059 --> 00:35:52.360 bad robot with the red core because it has absorbing 00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:55.679 powers And then he just kind of keeps like Katamari 00:35:55.679 --> 00:35:58.860 growing and like absorbing buildings and shit. 00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:01.219 That was kind of cool.

It was all right. 00:36:03.679 --> 00:36:07.239 Like I didn't dislike the design, but that was 00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:09.940 probably the most interesting animation.
