00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,300 We appreciate you tuning in and hope you enjoy the show. 7 00:00:23,300 --> 00:00:24,560 This is what we are covering tonight. 8 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:30,400 We got three little bits of cinema today, Avalon, The One, and an episode of Curb Your 9 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:31,400 Enthusiasm. 10 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:32,400 Awesome. 11 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,080 But before we do, like, follow, and subscribe to the channel. 12 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,120 Now let's get into this deep dive. 13 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:42,280 Alright, so let's start with Avalon. 14 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,880 I caught it on Paramount Plus if you guys want to check it out. 15 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,740 So basically it's a 2001 movie. 16 00:00:48,740 --> 00:00:52,000 It's a Japanese-Poland co-production. 17 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,280 I think Poland wanted to make a movie, but they didn't have the expertise behind the 18 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,280 scenes, right? 19 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:03,200 So they hired a Japanese film studio to film the behind the scenes stuff. 20 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,200 Which film house? 21 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:05,200 I have no idea. 22 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:06,200 I didn't know if that could be anything. 23 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,600 I had to try to read through all the credits and I was like, there was a lot of companies 24 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:10,600 here. 25 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:11,600 Oh really? 26 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,300 But a lot of them were like Japanese names. 27 00:01:13,300 --> 00:01:16,620 But there's only like, you know, Caucasian people in the movie. 28 00:01:16,620 --> 00:01:21,980 So it had to be, that's my theory, that Poland wanted to make a movie, but they had to outsource 29 00:01:21,980 --> 00:01:24,080 the actual filming. 30 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,080 The actual film houses to do the work? 31 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:32,640 Yeah, to do the, I guess they had the script and they just hired some directors and you 32 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:38,640 know, all the Japanese companies just filmed everything and they had their actors. 33 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,400 It's the best thing, I didn't look much into it. 34 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,080 It's a 2001 film. 35 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:52,040 It's a dystopian world where it's just like a shithole to live in. 36 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,320 It's just a daily grind from morning to night. 37 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,040 You work, you eat, you sleep, that's it. 38 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,960 There's like, there's like the void of emotion in this world. 39 00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:00,960 So North Korea? 40 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:01,960 I guess. 41 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:02,960 A little bit. 42 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:10,120 There's a black hole every time the fucking satellite goes over it. 43 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:16,840 And the only outlet they have for fun is a virtual reality game called Avalon. 44 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:22,480 And it's basically like a first person shooter, but it's virtual reality so it's like a real 45 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,800 first person shooter. 46 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,880 And the best players make money off the game. 47 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,680 This is 2001, you know, YouTubers haven't been invented yet. 48 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:34,680 Let's play. 49 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,920 So this is wild to me. 50 00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:42,000 And let me think, damn it, this is why I always have to get ready. 51 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,920 So the best players get paid and they get really famous and this is pretty much all 52 00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:49,560 they do is they watch Avalon. 53 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,640 This is like their fucking sports for them. 54 00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:55,120 Because there's nothing else. 55 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,920 I've watched the movie, there's nothing else they do. 56 00:02:56,920 --> 00:02:58,960 It's like a precursor to eSports. 57 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,240 Kinda, yeah. 58 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,520 Especially like eSports. 59 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:08,840 But the society, it's almost like it's 1960s or right after World War II where everything 60 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,560 is really low tech, they're trying to rebuild. 61 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,880 But then they have this high tech virtual reality stuff. 62 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,440 Their clothes are old looking, you know? 63 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,600 I'm like, Jesus, they live in a post apocalypse. 64 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,960 Kind of like an episode of Stargate or something like that where they go into a world that 65 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:30,560 looks like it's medieval but they have all the technology still just slightly updated 66 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:31,560 though. 67 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:37,960 Like the tech, high tech in certain parts but low tech in other parts of life. 68 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,920 So the most famous players, they get paid and they get really popular. 69 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:47,640 And one of them, her name is Ash and she's pretty much the main protagonist, well she's 70 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,960 the only protagonist of the movie. 71 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:59,960 Normally players work together in teams and it's very rare for a solo player to be working 72 00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:00,960 with Avalon. 73 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:06,760 She used to be part of a team called Wizard and they were like the team. 74 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:12,400 No losses ever until they had a single loss and it tore the whole team apart. 75 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,360 Apparently being that good just tore the whole team apart. 76 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,080 One tiny loss they couldn't recover from. 77 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:22,320 So the team split up, Ash went on her way and now she's playing the game by herself. 78 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,120 She's warrior class, level like 13. 79 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:31,880 It's really like respectful to the game mechanics and terminology. 80 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,880 Compared to some of the other things that have been made where it's like ehh. 81 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,120 Like when they talk about hacking, like hacking computers and it looks all goofy. 82 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,600 So stupid. 83 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,240 So that's basically the opening of the movie. 84 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:51,400 It's just her playing the game, living her regular life and then going back to play the 85 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:52,400 game. 86 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,960 So they needed a way to move the plot along. 87 00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,680 So at a certain point there's this guy named Stunner who was one of her old teammates from 88 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,720 Wizard because they bump into each other. 89 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,800 And he's like oh shit Ash is that you? 90 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,840 He's so happy to see her. 91 00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:09,160 And Stunner's just there to move the plot along. 92 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,440 He moves the plot twice in this movie. 93 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:18,240 The first time they meet they go out to eat and they're just eating like this. 94 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:24,360 It looks post apocalyptic that they're like in some dungeon or some cellar eating fucking. 95 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,800 They're getting food out of like you know like those old cafeterias. 96 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,280 You got waiting line, you get your food. 97 00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:32,040 They're eating like fucking porridge or something. 98 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:37,760 And Stunner, it's just he's eating away. 99 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,640 And you know Ash is just there and Stunner's talking. 100 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,040 He used to be the thief for the team. 101 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,680 And thieves can't play solo. 102 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,120 It's like impossible because you know they need to fight. 103 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,520 He was just good for scouting and scavenging and taking stuff. 104 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:51,520 So he's been struggling. 105 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,760 You know Ash is famous. 106 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,400 She's making all these fucking big bucks. 107 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:04,720 And so he tells her about Murphy, their old team leader, and how he's now a Unreturned. 108 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,400 Unreturned being people that play the game and then their consciousness gets stuck in 109 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:14,360 the game and their body's just taken to a hospital and they're just lifeless like a 110 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:15,360 vegetable. 111 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:16,600 So like Sword Art Online? 112 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:17,600 Yeah, pretty much. 113 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,560 They're just talking to a bunch of people. 114 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,320 She goes to visit Murphy and they're all just fucking lifeless. 115 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:29,080 So she's like, he tells her that Murphy was looking for this Easter egg called the Ghost, 116 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:35,620 which is this little girl in the game that if you find her and you kill her, you unlock 117 00:06:35,620 --> 00:06:40,480 another level, a super secret level in the game that no one's ever been to. 118 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,640 Or if they have been to it, they never come back. 119 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:44,840 It's impossible to come back from this level. 120 00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:47,920 You have to beat it to get out of this level. 121 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,840 So she's like, well, now I got to find out about this extra level. 122 00:06:51,840 --> 00:07:00,880 So she starts researching and she meets Stunner the second time, right? 123 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,640 And it's just more a little plot movement. 124 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,160 And the second time he's eating again, right? 125 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,240 A shitload of food. 126 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,760 And I kid you not, they fucking panned in on him eating, right? 127 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,600 Like it was like two, three minutes long. 128 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:21,720 He's eating eggs and sausage and fucking hash browns. 129 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,120 And it was up close on his face. 130 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,280 I was like, are you fucking sick? 131 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,200 I was so bad because it would not go away. 132 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,200 He's eating and eating. 133 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,840 He's the only actor I've ever seen eat that much in a fucking scene. 134 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,320 I wonder how many times they made him redo that scene. 135 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:39,320 That's what I was worried about. 136 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,320 He's just, he's like, slap, grab. 137 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,440 And she fucking leaves right after she gets more information about the Easter egg. 138 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,280 Because she wanted to find out how you activate it. 139 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,160 Apparently you need a bishop on your team to activate it. 140 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,480 And she thought about switching teams or switching classes from warrior to bishop. 141 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:56,480 He's like a bishop? 142 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,680 To get it to level 13, you have to get twice EXP. 143 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:01,960 It's really like game. 144 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,760 I liked that part. 145 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,760 But I didn't like him fucking stuffing his face. 146 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,880 And I should have clipped it for you to watch. 147 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,920 I'm like, oh my God. 148 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,520 Fucking drool dripping out his fucking chin. 149 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:18,520 And then she leaves right. 150 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,280 And he's like, you're going to finish that? 151 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,200 And they meet up again in the game, right? 152 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,800 And he has the fucking cornea shit. 153 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:27,800 Did you pack a lunch? 154 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,720 I was so fucking mad. 155 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,040 You nasty son of a bitch. 156 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:39,480 So the best part of this movie for me was that she had this little, Ash had this little 157 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:44,720 bloodhound dog that she would come and see him every time she left Avalon. 158 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,840 She'd go home and this little dog was always waiting for her there. 159 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:48,840 He's all excited. 160 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,320 Like, oh, you're back, you know, little droopy dog. 161 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:57,040 And she would feed him like pimple level amount of food, like a big ass bowl of food every 162 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,480 time that she would see this dog. 163 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:08,000 And at this one time when she gets back, she has real meat because apparently real food 164 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,000 is expensive. 165 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,480 And she had real and she was going to cook him some food. 166 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:20,000 She was going to cook him real beef, potatoes, rice, carrots, cabbage, an apple. 167 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,680 Like she was this. 168 00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:26,360 This was like better food than normal people in that world have. 169 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:27,360 And she's cooking it. 170 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,000 It was a huge cooking montage and I had a cooking show because I like the cooking. 171 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,000 I like cooking montage. 172 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,000 There's no talking. 173 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,000 Yeah. 174 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,000 Let me see the food cooking. 175 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,000 Everyone be quiet. 176 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,320 That's why I can't watch cooking shows. 177 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,120 They talk too much that just cook the food. 178 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,400 Shut the fuck up. 179 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:43,400 And she's cooking it. 180 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:44,400 I'm watching it. 181 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,040 You know, she's putting it in a pot to boil. 182 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,040 Put it all together. 183 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,480 I'm like, God dang, that shit looks delicious. 184 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,000 I'll eat it out of that dog bowl too. 185 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:59,200 And she puts it in a dog bowl and she goes out to give it to the dog and she looks around 186 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,640 and there's no fucking dog. 187 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,760 Like the dog's gone. 188 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,520 And I'm like, bitch, was that dog even real? 189 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:06,520 Like it went into my head. 190 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:07,520 Yeah. 191 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,440 The movie's been like hinting at reality. 192 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:10,440 Right. 193 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,040 And I'm like, bitch, is that dog even fucking real? 194 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,080 I was so mad. 195 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,240 And I knew there was something wrong because when she brought the food in that time, the 196 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,200 dog was barking, right? 197 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,960 And it was, you could hear it walking around the hardwood floors, but you couldn't see 198 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:25,960 him. 199 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,560 Like the camera was angled just a little bit higher than he would have been. 200 00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:29,560 Yeah. 201 00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:32,360 The other time you saw him, twice, three times you see this dog. 202 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,000 But this last time, all you hear is the barking and the pattering around the food. 203 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,160 It was a little nail tapping on the hardwood floor. 204 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,160 Yeah. 205 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,160 But you didn't see the dog. 206 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:42,160 And I was, that's kind of fucking weird. 207 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,160 I already knew from that moment, like there's something weird going to happen. 208 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,800 And lo and behold, the dog's not even probably real. 209 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,240 Not only that, but she buys some books. 210 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,520 She buys like six or seven books, right? 211 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,480 And when this guy comes to her apartment to talk to her, cause he's the bishop and then 212 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:03,560 we're going to team up to find the ghost girl, he opens the book and it's fucking blank. 213 00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:05,720 I'm like, what is happening? 214 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,800 I'm like, I'm real confused. 215 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:13,600 So eventually she does, she goes with the bishop that she meets. 216 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:18,800 And by the way, there's like a game mechanic where it's always three hits and you beat 217 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,520 a boss in certain games. 218 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:26,320 I thought that was like a, like, I guess it's always been around because in that, they had 219 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,880 to fight a tank and she hit it three times with a rocket launcher in a certain spot. 220 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,280 And the third hit destroyed it. 221 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,240 Like three hits like on a Bowser in a Mario game or like that. 222 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,280 I guess that's always been a game mechanic that I've never noticed till recently. 223 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,360 Like the hit of threes. 224 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:50,720 So she finds little girl, kills her and she goes to the new level called class, what is 225 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:51,720 it? 226 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,120 Class, what'd they call it? 227 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,560 Class real. 228 00:11:57,560 --> 00:12:01,840 Now here's the thing about this fucking movie. 229 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:08,440 The whole time the movie has a weird yellow tinge around it and it started in the game. 230 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,520 I'm like, oh, they just have a way to differentiate. 231 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:11,520 Like it was yellow. 232 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:12,520 The screen was yellow. 233 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,540 I guess they're just differentiating the game world from the real world. 234 00:12:16,540 --> 00:12:18,320 So the game world, it looks terrible too. 235 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,520 I'm like, oh my fucking God. 236 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,560 And then she gets out of the virtual reality back to the real world. 237 00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:28,080 I'm like, oh, and it's still fucking yellow. 238 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,080 Still the same yellow tinge. 239 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,660 I'm like, what the fuck? 240 00:12:30,660 --> 00:12:33,320 The whole movie has this weird fucking light to it. 241 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:39,800 And I was like, why did they pick this odd filter for this movie? 242 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,640 And it was bothering me the whole movie. 243 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,320 And then she gets to class real. 244 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,880 She's got a mission to kill somebody in that world, but she's not allowed to kill anyone 245 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:50,880 else in this world. 246 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,180 She only has one target. 247 00:12:52,180 --> 00:12:54,160 She fails, it's over for her. 248 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,280 She succeeds, she can get out of class real. 249 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:02,400 And so she comes out of this corridor, comes up to the surface, because I guess it's like 250 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,840 below level. 251 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:09,720 And she opens the door and it's fucking our world. 252 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:10,720 2001. 253 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,720 The light, the filter changes and it's in color. 254 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,080 Like it would be like we're seeing right now. 255 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,360 I'm like, oh, so it was an artistic choice they made to make that shitty ass fucking 256 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:21,360 filter. 257 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:22,360 90% of that movie. 258 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,320 I give them credit for it. 259 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,400 But I'm glad that it was their choice, that they didn't think that that was such a good 260 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,760 filter that they used in the whole movie. 261 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,240 And it's like now 100% real. 262 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,400 The world is now real. 263 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:38,080 So class real, this virtual reality level is more real than the real world that they 264 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,080 live in. 265 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,600 It's what it looks like. 266 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:41,600 Because it's our world. 267 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,720 2001, our world. 268 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:44,720 Not much changing. 269 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,960 Not much changed from those 20 years. 270 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:48,960 Same clothing, cars. 271 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,320 So it's just our world. 272 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:57,880 And I guess they tried to say that reality is what you make it. 273 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,920 Like oh, maybe the whole time it was reality or they were in a virtual reality. 274 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:01,920 Now this is the real world. 275 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,960 But now when she kills the guy in the class real, he fucking like disintegrates like they 276 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,200 do in video games where they disappear. 277 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,880 So I think shit blew my mind. 278 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,160 Like everything's virtual reality. 279 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:19,040 Even the real world where she thought was the real world, she started hearing like weird 280 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:25,200 like helicopters in her head that would only be in the game but they were in the real world. 281 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:30,000 So it's like I guess they tried to explain like or reality is what you make it. 282 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,000 I guess. 283 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,320 I think I've repeated like six times now because I don't know how to explain it. 284 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,840 The movie is trippy and if you want to check it out, go ahead. 285 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,800 But I was like man this movie is fucking odd. 286 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:45,000 So I wonder if the whole thing is that every bit of it is fake. 287 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,160 I guess so. 288 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:53,520 Like the whole thing is all like you know how there's that the thought or whatever that 289 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,000 everything's a simulation. 290 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,480 Well if you like that type of thing, I guess maybe that's what they were trying to say. 291 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,360 Maybe they like the Matrix and I just made a movie off of it. 292 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:07,040 But it was like man there's a lot of stuff happening in one fucking movie. 293 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:12,600 They also had at the end of the movie a fucking full on I shit you not orchestra. 294 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,760 Like the whole I had the wife's like every time you think it was over they kept going. 295 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:27,280 They had it was what the Warsaw Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra, Warsaw Philharmonic Choir 296 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:28,760 and the National Choir of Poland. 297 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:34,120 They had first violin, second violin, violas, flutes, double basses or basses, I don't know 298 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:35,120 what they call them. 299 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:40,840 All bows, cellos, French horns, sopranos, altos, tenures, percussion clarinets, trombones, 300 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,080 timpani, tubas and basses. 301 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:49,280 I'm like oh my they had a full on, that was on the credits too, a full on fucking orchestra. 302 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:55,080 And the movie ends with like I guess because the young return never come back to their 303 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,880 bodies, maybe they all just stay in class real. 304 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:03,160 Because it's much better there than the fucking dystopia she was living in. 305 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,720 And this little girl ends up on the stage, the whole orchestra disappears. 306 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:13,360 It's just Ash with a handgun pointing at this little girl on the stage, the ghost girl. 307 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:19,200 And the girl's girl has this, she's blue now and she's giving her this really creepy smile 308 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:20,200 and that's how the movie ends. 309 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,720 That's what this girl, the little girl smiling at us right? 310 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:24,760 And she was blue right? 311 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,880 So in my head they should have ended it with that blue song, like I'm blue. 312 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,600 It's like I'm blue now. 313 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,280 That's how the movie ended in my head. 314 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:44,400 That's how the movie ended. 315 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:49,600 Another weird note before we end on Avalon is I think the director had a foot fetish. 316 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:55,040 Because Ash was barefoot a lot in that movie and there was two scenes of following her 317 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,640 from foot level while she's barefoot. 318 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,080 Early in the movie and when she got to class real. 319 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,800 I'm like oh man loves him some feet but okay. 320 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:07,360 I wonder if it also was a foreshadowing that there was no dog there. 321 00:17:07,360 --> 00:17:13,040 Well no because her feet are just there in random scenes. 322 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:19,400 I'm saying was it down that low so that way you could see like the floor level maybe? 323 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:24,280 Well the floor level where her feet's at, when she got out of virtuality the first time 324 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:29,600 at the beginning of the movie, she gets off with a little fucking seat she's on and she's 325 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,920 barefoot walking and you just follow her feet. 326 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,280 Okay so it doesn't show anything around. 327 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:35,280 So green turn. 328 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:42,200 Hey that's what Jetson, it's all you bro. 329 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,920 He wanted to share his fetish with the world. 330 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,440 Quentin Tarantino I guess directed this movie too. 331 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,060 Yeah that would make some sense. 332 00:17:50,060 --> 00:17:53,360 So overall decent movie, worth the watch. 333 00:17:53,360 --> 00:17:54,360 Go ahead check it out. 334 00:17:54,360 --> 00:17:58,480 If you want to just you know don't be high while you watch it or you'll question your 335 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,320 whole reality. 336 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,880 Alright so now we move on to The One with Jet Li. 337 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,600 Like who hasn't seen The One? 338 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,660 That was a good movie. 339 00:18:09,660 --> 00:18:10,660 Also 2001. 340 00:18:10,660 --> 00:18:14,200 I didn't plan on it but it just happened. 341 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:19,040 You know you got Jet Li as multiple characters, he plays Gable Law, Lawless and Gabriel Ulaw. 342 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,240 You got Jason Statham with hair. 343 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:29,360 You got Agent Evan Funch and you got Delroy Lindo as agent Rodecker. 344 00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:35,400 Now this movie follows the multiverse theory that there is an infinite amount of universes 345 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,440 and in those infinite amount of universes there's an infinite amount of you. 346 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,840 Like just various versions of you. 347 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:49,720 Made very popular by the Loki series but more by Rick and Morty. 348 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,200 That's really where the multiverse theory really picked up. 349 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,160 The string theory type thing. 350 00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:01,200 But in this universe, in this movie, there's only 124 universes. 351 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:05,880 Because I mean it's called The One and I'll tell you why. 352 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:14,480 So I guess once particular universe discovered that there was multiple universes mirroring 353 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:19,200 theirs with slight variations here and there and technology and all that. 354 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:24,320 And so they put it upon themselves to form an agency to monitor and keep everything in 355 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:30,680 balance because sometimes there's like uncontrollable wormholes that open up between universes. 356 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:31,840 So they had to police everything. 357 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,200 So they call it the multiverse authority. 358 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:41,800 And one agent of the multiverse authority was a man named Gabriel Ulaw. 359 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:47,440 One time during one of his missions he was attacked by a version of himself and he was 360 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,880 forced to kill that version of himself. 361 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:58,600 And there's a theory that if all of your other versions of yourself die, their energy or 362 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,600 life force will go to you making you a god. 363 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:09,640 When he killed that version he felt that increase in strength, speed, and stamina and intelligence. 364 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,080 So he figured that it was real. 365 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,260 It was true, the theory. 366 00:20:13,260 --> 00:20:16,920 So then he decided to go about killing every single one of his other versions. 367 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:23,400 Basically the movie is Jet Li killing other Jet Li's. 368 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:29,420 So he gets captured early on but he escapes right after. 369 00:20:29,420 --> 00:20:34,320 And when they capture him they go through his whole crimes, how many murders he's committed. 370 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:41,200 So at the start of the movie he has killed 120 variants of himself. 371 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:42,480 Yeah. 372 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:46,040 They say 124 universes right? 373 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,760 But they're not counting the alpha universe. 374 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:57,200 They count that as zero because they're saying 123, there's only one left, is Gabriel Ulaw. 375 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,360 That's 124. 376 00:20:59,360 --> 00:21:05,280 But Jason Statham's character tells the good Jet Li that there's 124 universes. 377 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:06,760 That doesn't make any sense. 378 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:11,100 It might have been a plot hole or maybe I didn't watch it right. 379 00:21:11,100 --> 00:21:15,760 But that would make 25 because they still have to count the alpha universe. 380 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:20,120 Which is what they call themselves with the multiverse authority. 381 00:21:20,120 --> 00:21:21,600 They call themselves the alpha universe. 382 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:26,640 Look at Dogg's howling in the wind. 383 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,640 So that's what I guess maybe I got wrong. 384 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,120 You hear that? 385 00:21:30,120 --> 00:21:33,380 Look at Dogg's going off on each other. 386 00:21:33,380 --> 00:21:35,100 So who did he kill? 387 00:21:35,100 --> 00:21:38,520 They pretty much went down the whole line of all his deaths, 123 deaths. 388 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:43,460 But you only see, they started at 117 when we get there. 389 00:21:43,460 --> 00:21:51,080 So one of his kills is Yu-Fuk Law from the Montessorius universe. 390 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,960 It's fucking Jet Li with some dreadlocks. 391 00:21:54,960 --> 00:22:00,360 118, Swann Law, Tukana universe. 392 00:22:00,360 --> 00:22:03,960 I kid you not, he looks like an Asian Fred from Scooby Doo. 393 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,480 Like with the blonde hair and the blue shirt. 394 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,240 He looks like Fred, I kid you not. 395 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:12,640 119, we have Nai Dai Law from the Canopus universe. 396 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,320 We have 120, Kai J Law from the Serpent universe. 397 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,400 He looks like a triad crime boss. 398 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,800 He looks better as a bad guy than a good guy sometimes. 399 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:27,560 121, Seth Law from the Procyon universe. 400 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,560 122, Fran Law from the Shaolin universe. 401 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,440 And 123, Lawless from the Anubis universe. 402 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,920 That one you actually see him kill on screen at the beginning of the movie. 403 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,760 So that's the ones that they show. 404 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:51,680 I wish they show all of them, but that would bog down the movie so much. 405 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:56,680 There's only two left when he kills Lawless. 406 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,640 It's Gabriel Yu-Law, the bad guy. 407 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,440 You got Gabe Law, the good guy. 408 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,320 Now how powerful did they become? 409 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,080 How powerful was Yu-Law toward the end of the movie? 410 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,080 Let's see. 411 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:14,440 So Yu-Law is able to pick up a 200 pound man effortlessly and hold him outstretched in 412 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:22,440 his hands and use him to block a bunch of bullets. 413 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,840 Hello everybody, Michael here. 414 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:30,700 Unfortunately the rest of this podcast has been a corrupted file and is no longer usable. 415 00:23:30,700 --> 00:23:36,000 So unfortunately it does not exist along with another full length podcast that was corrupted 416 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:40,680 as well, which turned out to be completely unusable. 417 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,960 We will still have our midweek definitions and we'll tack on Reddit Insanity, which 418 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:49,840 is normally a YouTube rumble only type video. 419 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:55,360 And to make it up to you guys, we will also have three full length podcasts next week. 420 00:23:55,360 --> 00:24:06,280 We appreciate your understanding and we hope to see you guys next week.
