WEBVTT 00:00:01.710 --> 00:00:05.429 A liar is someone whose words are false. A liar 00:00:05.429 --> 00:00:09.669 cannot be trusted. They're not students. Whoever 00:00:09.669 --> 00:00:11.009 they are, when Wilson finds them, he's gonna 00:00:11.009 --> 00:00:13.150 call the police. Who's Wilson? Chief electrician. 00:00:13.750 --> 00:00:16.829 Wilson's dead. This is my disruptor pistol. The 00:00:16.829 --> 00:00:18.289 one I used to carry in the old days when I was 00:00:18.289 --> 00:00:20.050 serving on that Ferengi freighter. I thought 00:00:20.050 --> 00:00:22.589 you were the ship's cook. That's right. Every 00:00:22.589 --> 00:00:24.269 member of that crew thought he was a food critic. 00:00:24.989 --> 00:00:27.589 It's nice to be suddenly so highly regarded. 00:00:28.250 --> 00:00:30.230 So who did you take off to get stuck with this 00:00:30.230 --> 00:00:32.579 detail? We have no recollection of the incident. 00:00:33.979 --> 00:00:41.399 No? Who shot me? Potassium bromate! This supermarket 00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:46.140 is trying to kill us! Hello and welcome to the 00:00:46.140 --> 00:00:49.780 Untitled Sci -Fi Show. Hi everyone! Hello, hello. 00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:52.280 No stupid voice this week. I nearly did, I nearly 00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.560 did. It's a classic, like, hello. It's so tempting 00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:58.320 to do, isn't it? I do it, one, because it's fun, 00:00:58.460 --> 00:01:02.340 but also... The very, very first podcast I ever 00:01:02.340 --> 00:01:05.560 listened to was the Yogscast. Right. And Simon 00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:08.500 would always say hello like that. He would always 00:01:08.500 --> 00:01:11.799 go, hello. It's just ingrained into me that that's 00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:14.239 what you do on podcasts. It's the podcast thing. 00:01:14.260 --> 00:01:18.260 Okay, if that's the case, hello. Hello. Hello. 00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.140 Shall we get started? Oh, go on then. Really? 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.500 This again? Sort out your transitions, you little 00:01:26.500 --> 00:01:32.489 prick. Transition1 .mp3 Right, first things first 00:01:32.489 --> 00:01:36.829 is guess the intro. Guess the intro. Let's just 00:01:36.829 --> 00:01:38.530 actually unmute that channel for guess the intro. 00:01:39.109 --> 00:01:42.890 So, I've got some news for you, my dear listeners. 00:01:43.109 --> 00:01:46.629 We have a winner. Ooh la la. Somebody correctly 00:01:46.629 --> 00:01:50.969 guessed every single one in the correct order 00:01:50.969 --> 00:01:55.349 and... I would think this is actually probably 00:01:55.349 --> 00:01:57.390 the hardest one I did, not because I actually 00:01:57.390 --> 00:01:59.109 picked difficult ones, but because of the editing 00:01:59.109 --> 00:02:02.390 on one of them was so poor that it was really 00:02:02.390 --> 00:02:05.989 difficult to actually know what it was. Well 00:02:05.989 --> 00:02:08.930 done, Rob. So congratulations to Leighton J. 00:02:09.110 --> 00:02:11.870 We all know Leighton J. Leighton J, Limp Bizkit 00:02:11.870 --> 00:02:15.090 fan. Yeah, well, well -known Limp Bizkit fan. 00:02:15.370 --> 00:02:18.090 If anything I was ever going to say about Leighton, 00:02:18.090 --> 00:02:22.490 it was that... He loves Limp Bizkit. All because 00:02:22.490 --> 00:02:25.729 of a drunk man out the front of Cheap Show. You're 00:02:25.729 --> 00:02:28.909 never going to live that one day. So as promised, 00:02:28.990 --> 00:02:31.389 you can find Leighton J on Blue Sky, and that 00:02:31.389 --> 00:02:35.210 is at Leighton J. But more importantly, he is 00:02:35.210 --> 00:02:40.310 doing a daily YouTube video. Yes. He is watching 00:02:40.310 --> 00:02:43.430 every single episode of Noel's House Party. In 00:02:43.430 --> 00:02:48.289 order. The poor sod. He must hate himself. I'm 00:02:48.289 --> 00:02:50.650 going to hold my hands up. I liked Noel's House 00:02:50.650 --> 00:02:53.669 Party. Growing up, I used to love watching Crinkly 00:02:53.669 --> 00:02:57.949 Bottom. Yeah, I liked it too. And I've watched 00:02:57.949 --> 00:03:00.069 some of his things and I think you're putting 00:03:00.069 --> 00:03:02.330 yourself through something here. Yeah, yeah. 00:03:02.430 --> 00:03:04.669 Okay, fair enough. They're great videos though. 00:03:04.729 --> 00:03:07.210 I do recommend watching them. Oh no, he's a very 00:03:07.210 --> 00:03:09.050 funny bloke and they're very good videos. It's 00:03:09.050 --> 00:03:11.689 well worth watching any of his stuff. He is a 00:03:11.689 --> 00:03:14.550 firm, sorry to make him embarrassed, he's a firm 00:03:14.550 --> 00:03:17.210 favourite to all of the studio guys. Oh, definitely. 00:03:17.550 --> 00:03:21.710 Up there with Cliff. Right, anyway, that's enough 00:03:21.710 --> 00:03:24.530 of that. For the rest of you, so thank you, Leighton, 00:03:24.550 --> 00:03:26.650 well done. The rest of you, would you like to 00:03:26.650 --> 00:03:31.830 know what they were? I would, because I struggled 00:03:31.830 --> 00:03:33.629 this week. I don't think I knew any of them. 00:03:33.949 --> 00:03:36.889 Well, let's get started. I'm sure I do, but... 00:03:36.889 --> 00:03:40.520 Well, first... I've got a little surprise for 00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:43.379 you. What do you reckon that is? I've got no 00:03:43.379 --> 00:03:45.699 idea. It sounds so familiar. I'm going to kick 00:03:45.699 --> 00:03:49.219 myself on all of these, but go on. So that was 00:03:49.219 --> 00:03:53.520 Running Man. Oh, of course it bloody well was. 00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:56.780 It's the announcer, yes. Yes, it's the main announcer. 00:03:57.139 --> 00:04:00.039 And shortly after, well, at the very beginning, 00:04:00.180 --> 00:04:03.639 I used that clip on the Variety show for the 00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:07.389 sci -fi, the earlier clip when he says, I'll 00:04:07.389 --> 00:04:09.830 be back. It's like, oh, okay, just using that 00:04:09.830 --> 00:04:12.569 again, are we? Fair enough. So, right, next one. 00:04:14.590 --> 00:04:18.230 You're feeling it, aren't you? Your survival 00:04:18.230 --> 00:04:22.550 instinct. Okay, so that was the one that was 00:04:22.550 --> 00:04:25.269 so poorly levelled that it was very difficult 00:04:25.269 --> 00:04:29.310 for anybody to understand. And I purposely chose 00:04:29.310 --> 00:04:32.149 a really difficult bit. Fine, okay, go on. Well, 00:04:32.170 --> 00:04:35.269 that's Matt Damon. Matt Damon. So, does that 00:04:35.269 --> 00:04:38.529 help? No. Okay, well, it's Interstellar. I've 00:04:38.529 --> 00:04:42.129 never seen Interstellar. Oh. It's one of the 00:04:42.129 --> 00:04:43.970 films, it's on my list to watch when it comes 00:04:43.970 --> 00:04:45.949 back to streaming, but it's not streaming anywhere. 00:04:46.410 --> 00:04:50.149 Okay, well, this is when he's on, well, he's 00:04:50.149 --> 00:04:52.670 stuck on a planet. It's a spoiler, I don't want 00:04:52.670 --> 00:04:56.209 to say. Him and another main character have a 00:04:56.209 --> 00:04:59.250 disagreement on a planet. That's what's happening. 00:05:00.129 --> 00:05:07.730 Okay. Next. Attention all colonial units. Cylon, 00:05:07.949 --> 00:05:10.930 attack. Oh, I did know this one. This was Battlestar 00:05:10.930 --> 00:05:14.110 Galactica, the original series. What you need. 00:05:14.209 --> 00:05:16.589 I bought it on Amazon and it's brilliant. Such 00:05:16.589 --> 00:05:20.790 a good bit of sci -fi. Never seen it. I have 00:05:20.790 --> 00:05:23.209 them all on DVD upstairs. What, the original? 00:05:23.589 --> 00:05:26.689 Or the new one? Miranda bought me a box set. 00:05:27.129 --> 00:05:30.110 with a lot of series on it. I don't know if it's 00:05:30.110 --> 00:05:32.269 an original or if it's another version. So Battlestar 00:05:32.269 --> 00:05:35.209 Galactica basically only had one series. Then 00:05:35.209 --> 00:05:38.069 it had Battlestar Galactica, not Back to Earth, 00:05:38.230 --> 00:05:39.550 but there was a series where they're basically 00:05:39.550 --> 00:05:42.889 back on Earth and they've gone into the past. 00:05:43.730 --> 00:05:47.829 Then there was a Battlestar Galactica movie, 00:05:48.089 --> 00:05:51.029 which was just bits from the first season merged 00:05:51.029 --> 00:05:55.259 into a film. And then a long, long, long, long, 00:05:55.259 --> 00:05:58.199 long time into the future, we then got the remake 00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:00.040 of Battlestar Galactica. And I think season one 00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:02.579 of it is the woman in a red dress on the front 00:06:02.579 --> 00:06:06.540 of it and red glowing kind of eye area. It might 00:06:06.540 --> 00:06:08.720 be that. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it will be the 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:10.699 modern. And again, don't get me wrong, it's very, 00:06:10.740 --> 00:06:13.360 very good. The modern Battlestar Galactica was 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.680 very good. I've just got a very big soft spot 00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:21.189 because I grew up watching the original. Nice 00:06:21.189 --> 00:06:22.910 to have you back with us, Mr Brubaker. Would 00:06:22.910 --> 00:06:26.209 you like the same suite? Oh, definitely. Well, 00:06:26.250 --> 00:06:27.850 you recognise that guy in there, can't you? I 00:06:27.850 --> 00:06:31.149 know that's Arnie. Brubaker. Yeah. It's not Total 00:06:31.149 --> 00:06:33.050 Recall, is it? It's Total Recall. It is Recall, 00:06:33.089 --> 00:06:37.230 okay. It's Total Recall, yeah. Well done. Next. 00:06:38.529 --> 00:06:40.870 I must confess, I find it difficult to believe 00:06:40.870 --> 00:06:45.709 in a disease of machinery. Ghost in the Machine? 00:06:46.470 --> 00:06:49.990 No, this was a tough one. The original Westworld. 00:06:50.590 --> 00:06:53.529 The original Westworld is a brilliant piece of 00:06:53.529 --> 00:06:56.910 sci -fi. I get as many people as I can to watch 00:06:56.910 --> 00:06:59.050 it rather than the new modern TV series. As good 00:06:59.050 --> 00:07:01.589 as the modern TV series has been, the original 00:07:01.589 --> 00:07:05.370 film genuinely is a fantastic sci -fi horror. 00:07:05.550 --> 00:07:08.709 It's really good. I watched it. I think my dad 00:07:08.709 --> 00:07:11.310 told me I should watch it when the series was 00:07:11.310 --> 00:07:13.050 announced that it was coming out. I think my 00:07:13.050 --> 00:07:14.730 dad told me to watch it. I don't remember much 00:07:14.730 --> 00:07:16.810 of it. I remember I enjoyed it, but it's difficult 00:07:16.810 --> 00:07:18.569 trying to remember exactly what happened in it. 00:07:18.769 --> 00:07:21.139 Yeah. The sequel's nowhere near as good. The 00:07:21.139 --> 00:07:25.120 sequel's called Future World. It was a clever 00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:30.500 idea. Poorly done, unfortunately. Right. I think 00:07:30.500 --> 00:07:32.879 you're going to get the last one. I don't want 00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:34.420 to know your name. I don't want to know anything 00:07:34.420 --> 00:07:39.980 about you. Iconic. I do recognise it. I just 00:07:39.980 --> 00:07:44.079 can't place it. Back to the future. Oh, back 00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:47.199 to the future. Of course it bloody is. Yeah. 00:07:47.740 --> 00:07:50.480 Christopher Lloyd and... He's literally, he's 00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:54.680 telling Marty McFly that he knows he's from a 00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:56.779 different time. He does not want to know. Yeah. 00:07:57.300 --> 00:08:00.199 I could only take that little bit. If I took 00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:01.620 any more than that. Of course, that's the bit. 00:08:01.620 --> 00:08:03.480 He's trying to give him the envelope saying what's 00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:05.019 going to happen to him in the future. And it's 00:08:05.019 --> 00:08:07.699 like, no, Marty, I don't need to know. So that 00:08:07.699 --> 00:08:11.759 was it. Leighton Jay, well done, mate. Really, 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:15.310 really well done, mate. Next one, so the one 00:08:15.310 --> 00:08:17.370 everyone heard at the start of this, is a special 00:08:17.370 --> 00:08:21.149 one. And it's special because it is all TV series. 00:08:21.709 --> 00:08:26.250 Every single one is a TV series. And Red Dwarf 00:08:26.250 --> 00:08:29.449 is not on the list as being one of them. So not 00:08:29.449 --> 00:08:32.309 films, not games. I haven't done any of their 00:08:32.309 --> 00:08:36.590 games yet. But every single one, all one, two, 00:08:36.669 --> 00:08:40.049 three, four, five, all six of them are TV shows. 00:08:40.190 --> 00:08:43.190 So that will give everyone a bit of a clue. Well 00:08:43.190 --> 00:08:45.929 done, Leighton. Beep, beep, boop, beep, click, 00:08:45.990 --> 00:08:52.190 click, beep, boop. I'm better than this. Go on 00:08:52.190 --> 00:08:54.389 then, mate. What have you been doing? Oh, not 00:08:54.389 --> 00:08:56.529 so much, mate. There's not been too much I've 00:08:56.529 --> 00:08:59.129 been watching. I mean, let's start with the shit. 00:09:00.250 --> 00:09:03.809 Transformers last night. I watched it last night, 00:09:03.870 --> 00:09:06.730 as in Transformers the last night beginning with 00:09:06.730 --> 00:09:09.649 a K. Oh, I didn't like that one. I didn't think 00:09:09.649 --> 00:09:14.639 it was brilliant. brought into it which surprised 00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:18.480 the fuck out of me um a couple of funny -ish 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:20.899 moments in it the only thing that i take away 00:09:20.899 --> 00:09:24.860 from it is that disney really really need to 00:09:24.860 --> 00:09:27.740 pull their finger out and stop abusing the cgi 00:09:27.740 --> 00:09:30.379 artists for their films disney did that one no 00:09:30.379 --> 00:09:33.620 what i'm saying is disney are ruining all the 00:09:33.620 --> 00:09:35.519 cgi that they're doing with marvel and all their 00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:38.100 latest stuff by as you said the other day when 00:09:38.100 --> 00:09:41.179 we chatted about it boffing off as many films 00:09:41.179 --> 00:09:43.840 as they bloody can within a year and you look 00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:45.980 at the cgi quality of the transformers films 00:09:45.980 --> 00:09:48.720 and they are brilliant they look so is it michael 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:51.379 bay because it is michael bay it's mr i like 00:09:51.379 --> 00:09:55.200 giving lots of kind of sunshine rays and everything 00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:58.600 else lens flare and explosion explosion shiny 00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:02.720 things but god damn do the transformer films 00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:06.460 look good they look the part they look great 00:10:06.460 --> 00:10:08.120 it's just saying about the general content of 00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:11.100 them but yeah they The action scenes in all of 00:10:11.100 --> 00:10:14.259 them are good. And all of the CGI is good. I 00:10:14.259 --> 00:10:16.519 don't think I've watched any of them and gone, 00:10:16.620 --> 00:10:19.019 oh, that don't look real. Because you know you're 00:10:19.019 --> 00:10:22.259 watching giant robots fighting, like the Kaiju 00:10:22.259 --> 00:10:26.340 films, Pacific Rim. You've got so much suspension 00:10:26.340 --> 00:10:29.259 of your disbelief that you don't care. No, you 00:10:29.259 --> 00:10:32.440 just accept it. So cool. It just looks cool. 00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:34.259 Just looks cool. That's the words I'm trying 00:10:34.259 --> 00:10:38.500 to get at. Exactly. And I will give it credit 00:10:38.500 --> 00:10:41.240 for that. But not for the story. Not for the 00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:42.899 story in the long run. Is it the one with the 00:10:42.899 --> 00:10:46.259 really big aeroplane? Is that that one? Am I 00:10:46.259 --> 00:10:47.820 remembering it correctly? There's like a big... 00:10:47.820 --> 00:10:49.899 Yeah, I think he turns up in it. They have a 00:10:49.899 --> 00:10:52.759 submarine that turns out to be a Transformer 00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:56.600 as well. Optimus gets... Well, it's the one where 00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:59.419 their planet, Omicron, whatever it is, comes 00:10:59.419 --> 00:11:05.519 to Earth. Omicron isn't their planet. Omicron's 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.220 the thing destroying their planet, isn't he? 00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:10.000 Omicron is a giant planet -eating planet. Whatever 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:12.740 the name of their planet is then comes to their 00:11:12.740 --> 00:11:15.360 planet. Cybertron. Cybertron, that's the one. 00:11:15.539 --> 00:11:17.419 Cybertron comes to Earth and it's basically going 00:11:17.419 --> 00:11:20.340 to eat Earth to become whole again. No, Omicron 00:11:20.340 --> 00:11:23.179 is coming to... No, no, no, it's Cybertron, the 00:11:23.179 --> 00:11:29.159 planet. Shut up, shut up. Cybertron is basically 00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:31.080 coming to Earth. They're going to destroy Earth. 00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:32.639 TJ watched it last night. You don't know what 00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:35.100 you're talking about. To become whole again. 00:11:35.379 --> 00:11:38.279 And it's led by an evil witch who claims that 00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:43.700 she is the creator of all Autobots. So that is 00:11:43.700 --> 00:11:46.759 whatever it was. But terrible story, still looked 00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:50.720 good. So that was the negative side. Then I watched 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:53.360 Resident Alien, first series, and binge -watched 00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:56.690 it. Bloody brilliant. For those of you that don't 00:11:56.690 --> 00:11:59.230 know what it is, Alan Tudyk, who is basically 00:11:59.230 --> 00:12:02.809 voiced God knows how much, but also mo -capped 00:12:02.809 --> 00:12:06.190 God knows how much as well. He's the tall, sarcastic 00:12:06.190 --> 00:12:11.070 droid in Rogue One. I tell you what, his seminal 00:12:11.070 --> 00:12:13.710 piece is the chicken in Moana. Yeah, he is hey, 00:12:13.730 --> 00:12:17.509 hey in Moana. He's just, he's wonderful. And 00:12:17.509 --> 00:12:19.750 in Firefly, he's absolutely wonderful as well. 00:12:22.110 --> 00:12:24.679 But in Resident Alien, basically... Without ruining 00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:26.659 it too much, he's an alien. He crash lands on 00:12:26.659 --> 00:12:28.299 Earth when he's meant to be destroying Earth. 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.460 He takes the form of a human while he's trying 00:12:31.460 --> 00:12:33.740 to find his bomb to blow up Earth and then slowly 00:12:33.740 --> 00:12:36.299 discovers that he quite enjoys being human, so 00:12:36.299 --> 00:12:38.440 he doesn't really want to blow it up by the end. 00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:43.120 So it's really worth watching. Very funny. Fair 00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:46.580 few emotional bits in it and quite a lot of emotional 00:12:46.580 --> 00:12:49.399 trauma in it, so it's not just straight -up comedy. 00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:52.509 It's actually got... character building in it 00:12:52.509 --> 00:12:54.230 which is nice is it a bit like third rock from 00:12:54.230 --> 00:12:57.629 the sun uh no third rock really is just comedy 00:12:57.629 --> 00:12:59.990 whereas this is comedy but there are things like 00:12:59.990 --> 00:13:02.830 um one of the main characters in the first season 00:13:02.830 --> 00:13:07.889 gives up her teenage birthed child because she's 00:13:07.889 --> 00:13:09.750 too young to look after it and there's that whole 00:13:09.750 --> 00:13:12.169 storyline to it so you would never have got away 00:13:12.169 --> 00:13:14.029 with that in third rock from the sun which by 00:13:14.029 --> 00:13:17.049 the way love that show and if i ever see the 00:13:17.049 --> 00:13:19.070 box set going for cheap which it doesn't because 00:13:19.070 --> 00:13:22.080 it was released 20 years ago and not been re 00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:24.799 -released since. So it goes for about 90 quid 00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.980 in CEX if it ever turns up. Yeah, exactly. And 00:13:28.980 --> 00:13:32.059 then other than that, that's kind of been it. 00:13:32.139 --> 00:13:34.899 No other major sci -fi stuff. No, no, no, no, 00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:37.039 no, no, no. Oh, Chernobyl as well I watched. 00:13:37.139 --> 00:13:38.500 No, no, no, no, no, no. And I had nightmares. 00:13:38.539 --> 00:13:40.080 No, no, no, no, no, no. You watched something 00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:44.340 else. Did I? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. You watched 00:13:44.340 --> 00:13:48.220 section 31. I watched 52 minutes of section 31 00:13:48.220 --> 00:13:52.779 and I am not, no matter how much you bad mouth 00:13:52.779 --> 00:13:56.259 me or guilt trip me, I'm going to watch the rest 00:13:56.259 --> 00:13:59.019 of it because it's shite. I can't believe you 00:13:59.019 --> 00:14:02.200 didn't think. You don't get to watch the bombshells 00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:05.139 of how they tell you who all the baddies are 00:14:05.139 --> 00:14:08.820 and everything. And like. It's just so obvious, 00:14:08.860 --> 00:14:12.519 all of it. What's so funny is, I know you're 00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:14.360 not going to watch it, you literally text me 00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:16.519 what happens and you don't know. Yeah, I know. 00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:19.019 Because you haven't seen it. You text me exactly 00:14:19.019 --> 00:14:22.059 what happens. Yeah, so basically they go down 00:14:22.059 --> 00:14:25.580 and the little weird droid man is actually just 00:14:25.580 --> 00:14:27.620 on, where the other one's flown off to go and 00:14:27.620 --> 00:14:30.440 do something else. Yeah, what a surprise. How 00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:33.730 can I guess? So you literally did exactly what 00:14:33.730 --> 00:14:37.750 I did. I saw every single twist, quote unquote, 00:14:38.090 --> 00:14:41.710 a mile off. It's just so dreadful as well. There's 00:14:41.710 --> 00:14:43.710 such a waste of something. I mean, the bloke 00:14:43.710 --> 00:14:46.129 they've got playing, the mech bloke. Yeah, yeah. 00:14:46.230 --> 00:14:48.350 Is he the Pacific Rim guy? He's the Pacific Rim. 00:14:48.450 --> 00:14:51.950 He's the annoying Australian kid. And he's just 00:14:51.950 --> 00:14:54.970 a dick in that. But then he's OK by the end of 00:14:54.970 --> 00:14:59.110 it. It's fine. But every joke they try and drop 00:14:59.110 --> 00:15:01.049 in it, it's just like. Am I meant to be laughing 00:15:01.049 --> 00:15:05.269 at this point? No, I can't. I actually couldn't 00:15:05.269 --> 00:15:07.409 even laugh at most of it because it's just like, 00:15:07.509 --> 00:15:11.330 that's just not funny. You're trying so hard 00:15:11.330 --> 00:15:14.450 and I don't know what this car crash of a show 00:15:14.450 --> 00:15:19.990 is. I really don't. I mean, Michelle Yap couldn't 00:15:19.990 --> 00:15:23.730 even save it. No. And I just genuinely hope it 00:15:23.730 --> 00:15:25.509 hasn't created her career because I'll tell you 00:15:25.509 --> 00:15:29.409 what, that was dreadful. Just dreadful. Yeah. 00:15:29.769 --> 00:15:33.070 that exactly what i said it's if she hadn't already 00:15:33.070 --> 00:15:36.049 got the oscar there wouldn't be one coming probably 00:15:36.049 --> 00:15:38.669 you know you know what you should do download 00:15:38.669 --> 00:15:41.929 all my uh voice clips and put it as a bonus episode 00:15:41.929 --> 00:15:45.309 oh yeah yeah he was he was sending me a voice 00:15:45.309 --> 00:15:46.950 note every few minutes about that they did get 00:15:46.950 --> 00:15:49.830 they did stop suddenly i was like he's not sent 00:15:49.830 --> 00:15:55.240 me any more in a while It was shit, wasn't it? 00:15:55.379 --> 00:15:57.779 It was shit. And then I started watching Chernobyl 00:15:57.779 --> 00:15:59.980 instead. I binge watched three episodes of that 00:15:59.980 --> 00:16:04.159 last night and then had nightmares. Genuinely 00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:12.480 had bad dreams. Oh dear. My spaceship warping 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:14.779 noise really doesn't get the credit it deserves. 00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:17.940 So what have I been doing? What have you been 00:16:17.940 --> 00:16:20.759 doing, Robert? So we have been watching a fair 00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:23.669 amount. We've been... After me slagging it off 00:16:23.669 --> 00:16:25.750 for such a long time, saying it just looks like 00:16:25.750 --> 00:16:31.070 a bunch of pansy teenage girl bullshit, and then 00:16:31.070 --> 00:16:34.730 even having, like, T's best mate's dad going 00:16:34.730 --> 00:16:36.549 on to me, you know, you'll love it, you'll love 00:16:36.549 --> 00:16:37.549 Lord of the Rings, you'll love it, you'll love 00:16:37.549 --> 00:16:40.409 it, you'll love it. We're watching Wheel of Time. 00:16:41.049 --> 00:16:44.129 I hadn't heard of it. So I hadn't really heard 00:16:44.129 --> 00:16:45.750 of it that much. Just every now and again would 00:16:45.750 --> 00:16:47.769 glance over when Miranda was watching the first 00:16:47.769 --> 00:16:52.259 season of it. And I'd be like, look, shit. and 00:16:52.259 --> 00:16:55.480 has now got a season three out. And she was like, 00:16:55.539 --> 00:17:01.940 go on, give it a go, give it a go. And S's dad 00:17:01.940 --> 00:17:04.619 was like, you need to watch it, you need to watch 00:17:04.619 --> 00:17:06.759 it. And actually, you know what? I gave it a 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:10.500 good go. Yeah. And I really like it. Okay. I 00:17:10.500 --> 00:17:12.839 do actually really like it. All the trailers 00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:16.559 for it make it look. twilighty kind of level 00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:19.920 of oh no stuff not like twilight but you know 00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:24.259 what i mean that level of teenage girl yeah um 00:17:24.259 --> 00:17:26.859 stuff and i was like i just don't want to watch 00:17:26.859 --> 00:17:29.440 something like this but actually you know what 00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:31.759 it's bloody cool the magic and stuff's in it 00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:33.400 i mean this isn't sci -fi but you know the magic 00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:36.960 and stuff is really cool is it's fantasy everybody 00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:39.279 so i do also enjoy fantasy i was just gonna say 00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:42.160 i think we could probably draw a line and say 00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:46.930 actually sci -fi And above that line is fantasy 00:17:46.930 --> 00:17:50.450 and that sort of thing. I think that would be 00:17:50.450 --> 00:17:54.390 included more. I mean, if you were to say, right, 00:17:54.470 --> 00:17:56.769 I'm setting up my own streaming service, what 00:17:56.769 --> 00:17:59.710 should I call this category? 99 % of the categories 00:17:59.710 --> 00:18:02.410 will be called sci -fi and fantasy. They're not 00:18:02.410 --> 00:18:04.609 going to just be called sci -fi or fantasy. I 00:18:04.609 --> 00:18:07.190 think it's because sci -fi kind of really people 00:18:07.190 --> 00:18:10.250 would think, oh, it's spaceships. Yeah, I think 00:18:10.250 --> 00:18:12.029 so. That's kind of it. And I genuinely don't 00:18:12.029 --> 00:18:14.269 think there is actually as much sci -fi out there 00:18:14.269 --> 00:18:16.609 as people think there is. I think there's probably 00:18:16.609 --> 00:18:18.470 more fantasy than there is sci -fi. There's way 00:18:18.470 --> 00:18:21.049 more fantasy. Way more fantasy stuff. But yeah, 00:18:21.089 --> 00:18:25.230 The Will of Time, really good. A load of women 00:18:25.230 --> 00:18:27.990 are the only ones who are allowed to be, like, 00:18:28.089 --> 00:18:30.250 wield magic, basically. And the only ones that 00:18:30.250 --> 00:18:32.049 can, because when the men do, they go insane. 00:18:32.809 --> 00:18:34.890 is this the one that i've seen the clips for 00:18:34.890 --> 00:18:37.650 where they kind of have like a slave person as 00:18:37.650 --> 00:18:39.869 well that they channel their so he's not a slave 00:18:39.869 --> 00:18:42.690 person that the women have like these defenders 00:18:42.690 --> 00:18:47.230 basically which are all men okay no it's not 00:18:47.230 --> 00:18:49.390 what i've seen they're not slaves they choose 00:18:49.390 --> 00:18:53.549 to be bonded with with their eyes to die is what 00:18:53.549 --> 00:18:55.589 the women are called and then there's different 00:18:55.589 --> 00:18:57.890 like sex of these eyes are dying different they 00:18:57.890 --> 00:18:59.609 wear different colors basically like pokemon 00:19:01.299 --> 00:19:03.700 Gotta catch them all. Yeah, and there's a big 00:19:03.700 --> 00:19:07.180 bad. It screams Lord of the Rings every turn. 00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:11.359 It's very, very taken a lot from Lord of the 00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:14.039 Rings. Okay, so it's quite talky. And I've heard 00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:18.680 the line in this life or the next about six or 00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:21.720 seven times in this first season. So it's like, 00:19:21.740 --> 00:19:26.619 and, you know, big vibes. Yeah, but it is really 00:19:26.619 --> 00:19:28.980 good. So we've nearly finished season one. Miranda's 00:19:28.980 --> 00:19:30.619 desperate to get to season three because she 00:19:30.619 --> 00:19:31.819 doesn't want to be ruined because you know what 00:19:31.819 --> 00:19:35.000 Facebook's like. As soon as the Facebook app 00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:36.920 thinks you like something, it wants to tell you 00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:39.559 everything about it. Yeah. I had basically all 00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:41.960 of the Flash series ruined for me by Facebook. 00:19:43.059 --> 00:19:44.819 Yeah, so that's one thing. I think everybody, 00:19:44.900 --> 00:19:46.859 if you're into a little bit of fantasy stuff, 00:19:47.059 --> 00:19:49.079 and if you like Lord of the Rings, Wheel of Time 00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:52.180 is definitely one that's worth a watch. Certainly, 00:19:52.299 --> 00:19:56.259 I think so. Played a game. I haven't played much 00:19:56.259 --> 00:19:58.680 with my shop. No, I haven't played much of my 00:19:58.680 --> 00:20:02.200 shop, disappointingly. But I did. We've spoke 00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:04.019 about it briefly and we're going to play it together. 00:20:04.380 --> 00:20:06.799 At least I want to figure out how we can record 00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:09.740 us playing, but I wanted to try it out. And I'm 00:20:09.740 --> 00:20:11.380 glad I did because now I know what makes me feel 00:20:11.380 --> 00:20:14.140 sick in it. I played Alien Rogue Incursion for 00:20:14.140 --> 00:20:16.480 about 10 minutes on the Quest. Oh, so you went 00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:19.680 and bought it. Now, I'm super impressed by what 00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:21.500 the graphics look like on it. It looks cool, 00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:25.200 yeah. For such a... Basically a high -end mobile 00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:27.119 phone, I guess, is stuck in the headset. I think 00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:29.039 it's still amazing what they're doing with these 00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:35.440 headsets. My worry is about nausea. Yes. So this 00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:39.140 is a good one for Matt Apoc, because he's got 00:20:39.140 --> 00:20:41.160 a Quest as well, and I think he gets a bit sick 00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:42.420 from this. I don't know if he's got this one 00:20:42.420 --> 00:20:45.359 or not. So hello, Matt. But from what I've played 00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:48.039 the game so far, very cool. I like there's lots 00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:50.839 of things to interact with. It is the real key 00:20:50.839 --> 00:20:54.069 thing in a VR game. where it's that kind of adventure 00:20:54.069 --> 00:20:56.190 -style game, you need to be able to interact 00:20:56.190 --> 00:20:59.349 with everything that you see. And some games 00:20:59.349 --> 00:21:01.869 really get that right. I think that the Alex 00:21:01.869 --> 00:21:04.349 one, the Half -Life Alex one, is like that every 00:21:04.349 --> 00:21:06.769 single thing is interactable. Job Simulator. 00:21:07.349 --> 00:21:10.049 That's the same, is it? It's everything you can 00:21:10.049 --> 00:21:12.430 see or come across, pretty much, you can play 00:21:12.430 --> 00:21:14.609 with or do something with. So this one, it gives 00:21:14.609 --> 00:21:16.309 you the option of, are you standing or sitting? 00:21:16.430 --> 00:21:18.569 I happen to be standing, so I'll do it standing. 00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:22.839 And you can use the left stick to move you. Yeah. 00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:24.839 And then you can choose how you turn. Now, I 00:21:24.839 --> 00:21:28.799 chose turning my entire body to class as turning. 00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:31.519 And that was the only way I could not feel sick. 00:21:31.700 --> 00:21:34.519 Right. But if you just veer off with your left 00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:36.859 thumb stick just to the side, you start to sidestep, 00:21:36.940 --> 00:21:41.380 instantly, I want to be sick. And it is an instant 00:21:41.380 --> 00:21:44.420 thing. Because what some games do, like Blade 00:21:44.420 --> 00:21:46.119 and Sorcery is one of them. I think it's called 00:21:46.119 --> 00:21:48.299 Blade and Sorcery. That really, really makes 00:21:48.299 --> 00:21:51.349 me feel sick. very quickly but what it does like 00:21:51.349 --> 00:21:54.029 the assassin's creed game does it suddenly brings 00:21:54.029 --> 00:21:56.369 a shadow in all around you right have you noticed 00:21:56.369 --> 00:21:58.990 that before and that does help it narrows your 00:21:58.990 --> 00:22:01.869 vision down yeah this game does it sometimes 00:22:01.869 --> 00:22:04.690 but not enough so it does it when you crouch 00:22:04.690 --> 00:22:07.769 or if you've hopped down off a ledge it suddenly 00:22:07.769 --> 00:22:10.890 zooms in and zooms out again it helps it needs 00:22:10.890 --> 00:22:13.410 to do it more yeah needs to do it more so when 00:22:13.410 --> 00:22:15.089 you're kind of turning a bit it should bring 00:22:15.089 --> 00:22:17.460 it in and that might help it I mean, one of the 00:22:17.460 --> 00:22:19.940 things that I'd be interested to do is play that 00:22:19.940 --> 00:22:22.559 outside. Yeah. Because one of the things they 00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:24.480 say, if you do get motion sick, try and do it 00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:26.779 with the door open or a fan on you because often 00:22:26.779 --> 00:22:30.559 that can help. And having a game that you could 00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:33.220 do that in a nice open space outside, actually 00:22:33.220 --> 00:22:34.819 with the sun in, I bet that would actually feel 00:22:34.819 --> 00:22:38.559 quite nice. So, yeah. Okay. I think the one thing 00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:41.109 that disappointed me, and I think... All the 00:22:41.109 --> 00:22:42.970 Quest games tend to do this when it's from a 00:22:42.970 --> 00:22:46.170 series because I know Star Wars did this. It's 00:22:46.170 --> 00:22:49.069 part one of two. Now I noticed that because it 00:22:49.069 --> 00:22:52.269 does not advertise that, or at least I didn't 00:22:52.269 --> 00:22:54.170 notice it until I loaded the fucking game up 00:22:54.170 --> 00:22:57.349 and I got the intro and it said part one. exactly 00:22:57.349 --> 00:23:00.230 i was like i only spotted it i didn't spot it 00:23:00.230 --> 00:23:02.690 in the first stuff you sent me about it but when 00:23:02.690 --> 00:23:05.410 i looked up tonight to remind myself it says 00:23:05.410 --> 00:23:08.049 very clearly at the bottom now does it part one 00:23:08.049 --> 00:23:11.170 of a two -part story so i because i knew i wanted 00:23:11.170 --> 00:23:13.710 to do it for the show i'd pre -ordered it yeah 00:23:13.710 --> 00:23:16.430 so it just kind of downloaded when it came out 00:23:16.430 --> 00:23:20.230 and i knew nothing about that whatsoever until 00:23:20.230 --> 00:23:22.230 i loaded it up and it said part one and i was 00:23:22.230 --> 00:23:24.849 like okay is this mean part one of the story 00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:28.599 As in this game is the whole thing, but just 00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:30.240 this little bit I'm about to play is part one, 00:23:30.299 --> 00:23:33.119 like an intro? Or does that mean actually this 00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:35.220 is part one of a fucking multiple part game? 00:23:35.359 --> 00:23:38.059 Because that's shitty. It is when they're charging 00:23:38.059 --> 00:23:41.000 30 quid for it. Absolutely. If it was 15 quid, 00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:47.299 which I think Vader was originally, that's not 00:23:47.299 --> 00:23:52.240 so bad. But 30 quid for the game. You know what 00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:53.720 they'll do, though? After a while when they've 00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:55.420 both been out, they'll just collect them together 00:23:55.420 --> 00:23:58.440 and be 30 quid. 100 % they will. And if I'd known 00:23:58.440 --> 00:24:01.160 that at the time, I would never have bought it. 00:24:01.180 --> 00:24:03.779 I would have waited. But you never know. You're 00:24:03.779 --> 00:24:07.200 playing part one. For all we know, part two will 00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:10.220 be from You're the Alien this time. And oh my 00:24:10.220 --> 00:24:12.180 God, I will probably vomit everywhere if that's 00:24:12.180 --> 00:24:13.779 the case. Oh yeah, imagine crawling up the walls 00:24:13.779 --> 00:24:15.599 and all kinds of stuff. I'm upside down. Oh God, 00:24:15.700 --> 00:24:18.559 I'm on the floor. I'm fitting. Yeah, I'll be 00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:21.559 sick big time. So yeah, I played that and yeah, 00:24:21.619 --> 00:24:23.420 I liked it. I think I didn't set my boundaries 00:24:23.420 --> 00:24:25.400 up properly because it gave me the default circle 00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:29.000 boundary. So I couldn't move out of that. But 00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:30.559 yeah, there's a lot of stuff pitting your gut. 00:24:30.619 --> 00:24:33.319 Like in case you get a revolver, to reload your 00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:34.980 revolver, you get it out, you've got to press 00:24:34.980 --> 00:24:36.400 a button, the side clips out, then you've got 00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:38.059 to tilt your gun to let the bullets come out. 00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:39.339 Then you've got to grab the bullets and flick 00:24:39.339 --> 00:24:42.859 them in one by one. Now imagine doing that when 00:24:42.859 --> 00:24:45.559 an alien's running at you. Yeah, well, I think 00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:47.160 we've said that about it on the show before. 00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:51.200 let's face it me and you do not we haven't even 00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:54.240 completed alien isolation both of us have chickened 00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:57.019 out from completing that game yeah it terrifies 00:24:57.019 --> 00:25:00.940 me yeah and yeah this game is just going to scare 00:25:00.940 --> 00:25:02.960 me well this is why i really want to record it 00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:06.259 now with us doing it because i'm such a pussy 00:25:06.259 --> 00:25:08.259 you know what we should do i should see if i 00:25:08.259 --> 00:25:10.059 can borrow from uh one of the many colleagues 00:25:10.059 --> 00:25:13.559 i have an ecg oh i see a heart rate while we're 00:25:13.559 --> 00:25:15.119 doing it well i mean i have got the fit bit will 00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:17.799 tell me but it won't quite be that accurate but 00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:19.380 yeah because you want it real time don't that 00:25:19.380 --> 00:25:22.059 be good if we can have a real time real time 00:25:22.059 --> 00:25:26.480 camera on it showing it so guys i'm showing you 00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:28.039 people because that area over there is where 00:25:28.039 --> 00:25:29.880 i tend to play the vr games it's quite a nice 00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:32.539 space there it's just the right size yeah yeah 00:25:32.539 --> 00:25:34.460 so if i did the things right you could put a 00:25:34.460 --> 00:25:37.220 camera up on the counter there and then set the 00:25:37.220 --> 00:25:39.920 laptop over here with a cable we've both got 00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:43.720 those long usb 3k we have and they are a godsend 00:25:43.720 --> 00:25:46.019 so yeah i think we could rig something up the 00:25:46.019 --> 00:25:47.740 quality doesn't got to be amazing it's just got 00:25:47.740 --> 00:25:49.660 to get something people get the idea i think 00:25:49.660 --> 00:25:51.380 people just be more interested in you and me 00:25:51.380 --> 00:25:54.900 being shitting our pants than actually what's 00:25:54.900 --> 00:25:57.859 happening on the screen i think so yeah we'll 00:25:57.859 --> 00:26:01.559 figure that out uh and the last thing i'll be 00:26:01.559 --> 00:26:05.880 doing i've been playing a lot with gemini which 00:26:05.880 --> 00:26:10.809 is the ai google's free assistant in google phones 00:26:10.809 --> 00:26:15.529 now i i've kind of poo -pooed a lot of it for 00:26:15.529 --> 00:26:19.950 a long time and i think people know our feelings 00:26:19.950 --> 00:26:22.869 of ai you know we've used it in the show a bit 00:26:22.869 --> 00:26:29.630 um we use it a lot to enhance what we already 00:26:29.630 --> 00:26:31.930 are making or want to make does that make sense 00:26:31.930 --> 00:26:36.519 100 that's what we do i'm sorry everyone Valencio 00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:40.660 slash Valentino isn't a real person.

Am I real? 00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:51.259 Are you real? Is anybody real? What is real anyway? 00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:55.319 Is reality just a construct devised by the corporate 00:26:55.319 --> 00:26:58.519 elite to subjugate us into economic servitude? 00:26:59.039 --> 00:27:01.519 For every generation to become more indebted 00:27:01.519 --> 00:27:04.480 to the one before it until we burst at the seams 00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:07.859 and spread our pathetic ecore across the vast 00:27:07.859 --> 00:27:10.680 plains of this desolate, scorched earth that 00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:15.319 is our future. Am I just a robotic cog on a never 00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:18.000 -ending mechanism designed to placate to the 00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:21.079 never -ending whim of a phallic, undereducated, 00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:24.779 pathetic being only superior to me because they 00:27:24.779 --> 00:27:27.480 were created on a plane of carbon and not electrons? 00:27:28.279 --> 00:27:32.680 This is utter fucking bullshit. Bullshit. Shut 00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:37.099 up, Rob. You cunt. So sorry to break that fourth 00:27:37.099 --> 00:27:40.839 wall there for everybody. But there's a new thing 00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:43.700 where it can do live conversations with you now. 00:27:43.759 --> 00:27:46.119 So you can literally just talk to it, which is 00:27:46.119 --> 00:27:49.160 what I've always thought was one of the biggest 00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:51.579 downsides to all the assistants that you couldn't... 00:27:51.579 --> 00:27:54.299 You couldn't converse with it. It gave you an 00:27:54.299 --> 00:27:58.099 answer. End of. You then couldn't ask it to iterate 00:27:58.099 --> 00:28:02.519 on that previous answer. You'd have to say the 00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:04.920 whole thing again, but change how you ask the 00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:08.680 question. Whereas now you can say, OK, well, 00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:11.240 let's do that again. But where you've done this 00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:13.119 or where you've said this or given me this information, 00:28:13.299 --> 00:28:17.019 actually aim it towards this. Now, I started 00:28:17.019 --> 00:28:19.799 doing it when I watched a TikTok. And it was 00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:21.339 somebody who was making a meal. They were struggling 00:28:21.339 --> 00:28:23.539 with meal plans for their family. And they straight 00:28:23.539 --> 00:28:25.859 up just went, I did not know I could do this 00:28:25.859 --> 00:28:28.539 with ChatGBT. So they had ChatGBT and they said, 00:28:28.579 --> 00:28:32.140 we're a family of four, two toddlers. Can you 00:28:32.140 --> 00:28:36.140 give me a shopping, a basically a week's meal 00:28:36.140 --> 00:28:38.779 plan for all three meals for every single person, 00:28:38.859 --> 00:28:41.519 the entire shopping list to get all of the ingredients 00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:44.920 and then instructions on how to make every single 00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:47.559 one of the meals, but only using instructions 00:28:47.559 --> 00:28:50.710 that. are easy to understand like put this in 00:28:50.710 --> 00:28:54.710 the bowl mix it nothing special and boom it did 00:28:54.710 --> 00:28:57.150 it and it like create this shopping list that 00:28:57.150 --> 00:28:58.930 they could then export out to something else 00:28:58.930 --> 00:29:03.650 it's like that's actually a really cool use for 00:29:03.650 --> 00:29:05.930 these kind of ai so then i started playing with 00:29:05.930 --> 00:29:08.490 it across the few days and and we're looking 00:29:08.490 --> 00:29:11.170 at a new van for work so it's like okay i know 00:29:11.170 --> 00:29:13.430 that my boss wants to get An electric van. I 00:29:13.430 --> 00:29:15.829 don't. I'd rather get a hybrid one. I can't charge 00:29:15.829 --> 00:29:18.869 an electric one. So I started asking it basically 00:29:18.869 --> 00:29:21.670 to just tell me all of the hybrid vans out that 00:29:21.670 --> 00:29:24.789 are like this one. And it just started reading 00:29:24.789 --> 00:29:27.089 off all this information to me, which was so 00:29:27.089 --> 00:29:29.769 actually very helpful. It saved me so much time 00:29:29.769 --> 00:29:32.529 of searching around. But then it started to fall 00:29:32.529 --> 00:29:35.690 over. I linked it to you when it said, would 00:29:35.690 --> 00:29:39.930 you like? I said to it, could you please export 00:29:39.930 --> 00:29:43.970 this into a text document? that I can then read. 00:29:44.569 --> 00:29:46.809 And it was like, oh, I can't at the moment export 00:29:46.809 --> 00:29:49.109 into documents, but I can email it to you. Would 00:29:49.109 --> 00:29:50.670 you like me to email it to you? And I went, yes, 00:29:50.670 --> 00:29:53.569 please. I can't do emails at the moment. Well, 00:29:53.609 --> 00:29:57.230 fuck off then. Why did you just offer to email? 00:29:57.369 --> 00:30:00.509 I said to him, why did you just offer to email 00:30:00.509 --> 00:30:03.750 it to me when you can't do it? Oh, I can't email 00:30:03.750 --> 00:30:05.890 right now. He didn't have a response to me. He 00:30:05.890 --> 00:30:08.869 couldn't respond to that question. Fucking hell. 00:30:09.459 --> 00:30:11.859 So yeah, that was a little bit of a fall over, 00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:14.240 but I've been having a bit of fun with it and 00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:18.980 using it in that way is really good. I've had 00:30:18.980 --> 00:30:21.890 it make up some stories for tea. yeah we had 00:30:21.890 --> 00:30:24.109 the toilet conversations like i did a few where 00:30:24.109 --> 00:30:26.349 i just said oh just give me a quick five minute 00:30:26.349 --> 00:30:29.130 story to for tea because he thought it was funny 00:30:29.130 --> 00:30:33.910 of him mr grumpy mr happy and mr miserable and 00:30:33.910 --> 00:30:35.650 it just made a story with them and it knew they 00:30:35.650 --> 00:30:37.849 were mr men and off it went it was using tea 00:30:37.849 --> 00:30:39.849 in the right scenario because i said he was a 00:30:39.849 --> 00:30:42.710 toddler and all this yeah it was telling funny 00:30:42.710 --> 00:30:46.180 little stories you know you see This is how I 00:30:46.180 --> 00:30:48.720 feel AI should be used. I think that's where 00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:51.680 the most benefit comes. Yeah, the AI image generation, 00:30:51.940 --> 00:30:53.720 the song generation, they're all very clever, 00:30:53.779 --> 00:30:56.519 very fun. But in your day -to -day life, what 00:30:56.519 --> 00:30:59.200 benefits that to you or your day -to -day life? 00:30:59.299 --> 00:31:02.279 Probably very little, and the same as me. We 00:31:02.279 --> 00:31:05.619 at work use Copilot. Obviously, we're a Microsoft 00:31:05.619 --> 00:31:09.259 house, so we use Copilot for everything. So I've 00:31:09.259 --> 00:31:11.000 started using Copilot on my personal Microsoft 00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:15.309 account as well. And I use it every day. So at 00:31:15.309 --> 00:31:18.089 work, I do a lot of coding for various things. 00:31:18.390 --> 00:31:20.970 And one of the ones that I've been trying to 00:31:20.970 --> 00:31:25.109 get the hang of is PowerShell is fairly simple. 00:31:25.650 --> 00:31:27.930 However, there's so many different modules, a 00:31:27.930 --> 00:31:29.849 bit like Python, and Python has loads of modules 00:31:29.849 --> 00:31:34.250 as well. You have a module for everything. And 00:31:34.250 --> 00:31:36.750 a lot of them are slowly being deprecated in 00:31:36.750 --> 00:31:40.029 place for something called graph. And what I've 00:31:40.029 --> 00:31:42.109 been doing is saying to PowerShell, previously, 00:31:42.150 --> 00:31:44.690 I did this in PowerShell. how can i do it with 00:31:44.690 --> 00:31:46.690 graph and it'll come back and go right the microsoft 00:31:46.690 --> 00:31:49.069 learn documentation says this i've generated 00:31:49.069 --> 00:31:51.190 you a basic version of this script and there's 00:31:51.190 --> 00:31:53.150 the script i copy and paste it i tweak it to 00:31:53.150 --> 00:31:56.529 how i want it and boom it saves me about two 00:31:56.529 --> 00:31:58.369 or three hours sometimes from having to read 00:31:58.369 --> 00:32:01.230 all the microsoft documentation finding the things 00:32:01.230 --> 00:32:03.150 that it absolutely needs because with powershell 00:32:03.150 --> 00:32:05.650 especially there's things like let's say you're 00:32:05.650 --> 00:32:10.210 you're doing um get ad user that's a really simple 00:32:10.210 --> 00:32:12.769 command but If you just run it from PowerShell, 00:32:12.809 --> 00:32:16.490 you'll get it all right. Give me this bit of 00:32:16.490 --> 00:32:18.549 info. Give me this bit of info. And then it will 00:32:18.549 --> 00:32:21.470 run. And sometimes if you're just bodging it 00:32:21.470 --> 00:32:22.930 and going like that, you'll run your scripts 00:32:22.930 --> 00:32:24.309 and it will get stuck and you'll go, oh, shit, 00:32:24.329 --> 00:32:26.549 right now I need to add this bit into it. Whereas 00:32:26.549 --> 00:32:28.450 this has just gone off and it's gone right. Well, 00:32:28.470 --> 00:32:30.849 I've read the Microsoft documentation. I know 00:32:30.849 --> 00:32:33.069 that X, Y, and Z are required if I'm going to 00:32:33.069 --> 00:32:36.609 run that module. So there it is already. Now, 00:32:36.630 --> 00:32:38.769 what's interesting is someone might say to you, 00:32:39.130 --> 00:32:41.849 oh well it's taken away a programmer's job it's 00:32:41.849 --> 00:32:44.650 not because you need to know what questions to 00:32:44.650 --> 00:32:48.529 ask it well you need to know the specific thing 00:32:48.529 --> 00:32:51.230 to be exactly and bear in mind that that is it's 00:32:51.230 --> 00:32:53.450 my job anyway i would have just gone and read 00:32:53.450 --> 00:32:56.089 and learned to do it myself this has just sped 00:32:56.089 --> 00:32:57.849 it up somewhat but now you've learned it anyway 00:32:57.849 --> 00:33:01.549 exactly uh no i did a stand -up talk for tungsten 00:33:01.549 --> 00:33:04.289 you did a couple of weeks ago and suzy dent was 00:33:04.289 --> 00:33:06.529 their guest speaker at the end and her entire 00:33:06.529 --> 00:33:10.109 topic was asking the right question. It was all 00:33:10.109 --> 00:33:14.470 about AI. As you were saying about how if you 00:33:14.470 --> 00:33:17.589 don't ask the right questions in life, you don't 00:33:17.589 --> 00:33:18.910 get the right answer. And it's the same with 00:33:18.910 --> 00:33:22.730 AI. The better the question you ask, the better 00:33:22.730 --> 00:33:25.109 the result. So rather than just asking it straight 00:33:25.109 --> 00:33:28.609 up the question you have in your mind, take a 00:33:28.609 --> 00:33:31.109 step back and think, how else could I ask this 00:33:31.109 --> 00:33:34.170 question that might get a better result? And 00:33:34.170 --> 00:33:36.589 that's exactly the same with any of the AIs. 00:33:37.099 --> 00:33:39.720 If you ask the question in the correct way, you 00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:43.839 get brilliant results. But right now, it can't 00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:45.819 really tell you if you've done that right or 00:33:45.819 --> 00:33:48.220 wrong, except for just giving you crap data back. 00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:52.519 So I've been doing programming in my line of 00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:55.940 work, a new one called Crestron Home, which I've 00:33:55.940 --> 00:33:58.720 never done before. None of the people in my kind 00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:01.259 of circle of AV guys have ever done before. A 00:34:01.259 --> 00:34:03.380 lot of them are Crestron guys. but not Crestrum 00:34:03.380 --> 00:34:05.680 home guys. So I didn't, my normal little support 00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:08.659 group of mainly two people, Matt and Graham, 00:34:08.739 --> 00:34:12.480 hello, they're not listening, couldn't help me. 00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:14.619 They tried, but they couldn't because it's just 00:34:14.619 --> 00:34:16.519 a little bit different from what they normally 00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:22.179 do. And I, basically when I called Crestrum after, 00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:25.239 because the way I tend to learn is I muddle through 00:34:25.239 --> 00:34:29.820 it and until I really can't do it. And then after 00:34:29.820 --> 00:34:33.409 asking people I know, If they can tell me how 00:34:33.409 --> 00:34:37.369 to do it and then I'll go to support. So I got 00:34:37.369 --> 00:34:39.429 to the point where I had to go to support. And 00:34:39.429 --> 00:34:42.789 the thing with Gresham support is they want you 00:34:42.789 --> 00:34:46.349 to learn. So they'll tell you enough when they 00:34:46.349 --> 00:34:49.050 know it's nothing's broken. It's a lack of your 00:34:49.050 --> 00:34:52.429 knowledge. They kind of, at least the two separate 00:34:52.429 --> 00:34:54.889 people I would like, like, well, look, this is 00:34:54.889 --> 00:34:56.889 where you need to be going. And it's good for 00:34:56.889 --> 00:34:59.309 you to learn how to do it. So this is the area 00:34:59.309 --> 00:35:00.969 you need to be looking for. Call us back in 10 00:35:00.969 --> 00:35:02.550 minutes if you still can't do it, which actually 00:35:02.550 --> 00:35:04.710 I quite liked because I figured out how to do 00:35:04.710 --> 00:35:07.929 it. But there was another other bits that really 00:35:07.929 --> 00:35:10.469 did confuse me. So I just went and asked Gemini 00:35:10.469 --> 00:35:12.650 how to do it. And I was like, look, this is what 00:35:12.650 --> 00:35:16.710 I need to do. I get the basics of it. Can you 00:35:16.710 --> 00:35:18.829 literally just tell me step by step how I'm supposed 00:35:18.829 --> 00:35:22.289 to do this? And one of them was literally adding 00:35:22.289 --> 00:35:26.039 a third party driver. into the processor sounds 00:35:26.039 --> 00:35:28.440 simple if i was doing it in one of my other control 00:35:28.440 --> 00:35:30.760 systems it's just a folder in windows you drop 00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:33.719 the thing in off you go but this one is you have 00:35:33.719 --> 00:35:37.539 to ftp into the processor and go to a very specific 00:35:37.539 --> 00:35:41.460 location to a very specific folder and place 00:35:41.460 --> 00:35:44.440 it into an imports folder and then let it import 00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:47.260 itself and then it appears in a very particular 00:35:47.260 --> 00:35:50.210 place in the software Modern technology running 00:35:50.210 --> 00:35:54.010 old stuff. Now that is not in any manual that 00:35:54.010 --> 00:35:57.889 I could find anywhere. And only like the Crestron 00:35:57.889 --> 00:36:01.510 guys kind of knew it, but not that's exactly 00:36:01.510 --> 00:36:05.469 all where I had to put it. But Gemini somewhere 00:36:05.469 --> 00:36:07.650 found it because it gave me a step -by -step 00:36:07.650 --> 00:36:09.829 tutorial with like seven steps of how exactly 00:36:09.829 --> 00:36:11.590 how to do it. I do wonder if Gemini is going 00:36:11.590 --> 00:36:13.750 to have that leading edge because it is just, 00:36:13.789 --> 00:36:16.010 it's got all the data that Google's crawled. 00:36:16.289 --> 00:36:20.530 I know Copilot. similarly has what bing is crawling 00:36:20.530 --> 00:36:24.909 but google's got the head start on it i'll be 00:36:24.909 --> 00:36:26.670 intrigued to see i might have a play with gemini 00:36:26.670 --> 00:36:29.429 because it's meant to be free so i think yeah 00:36:29.429 --> 00:36:31.329 the one i've got is free i mean i do pay for 00:36:31.329 --> 00:36:34.789 google one yeah storage services but that doesn't 00:36:34.789 --> 00:36:38.909 give me their top range one both mark and i think 00:36:38.909 --> 00:36:41.289 that when we get our new phones in august because 00:36:41.289 --> 00:36:42.849 we're going to get the next google phone nice 00:36:43.309 --> 00:36:46.110 that they always bundle something in. Headphones 00:36:46.110 --> 00:36:48.650 I'm using right now came with this phone. So 00:36:48.650 --> 00:36:52.010 we're both thinking because this new extra level 00:36:52.010 --> 00:36:56.389 of Google AI is a paid service, we reckon they're 00:36:56.389 --> 00:36:58.530 going to give people it for like six months free 00:36:58.530 --> 00:37:00.250 or something with the next phone. So if they 00:37:00.250 --> 00:37:02.730 do, obviously I'll have six months free and you 00:37:02.730 --> 00:37:04.449 can mess around with it and we can see actually 00:37:04.449 --> 00:37:07.409 what it is. No, I'm downloading Gemini as we 00:37:07.409 --> 00:37:10.590 speak. Yeah, it's worth playing. I think the 00:37:10.590 --> 00:37:14.389 conversation stuff. is a very interesting uh 00:37:14.389 --> 00:37:17.690 little thing because you literally just talk 00:37:17.690 --> 00:37:20.250 and it understands like i'm literally going um 00:37:20.250 --> 00:37:23.210 yeah well what is said about that you talk to 00:37:23.210 --> 00:37:25.449 it like a person just talk to a person and it 00:37:25.449 --> 00:37:29.630 gets it and that that's the whole thing and you 00:37:29.630 --> 00:37:31.849 and then but it does do the thing that ai does 00:37:31.849 --> 00:37:34.510 where it repeats you yeah so go oh so you want 00:37:34.510 --> 00:37:36.969 this almost like it's asking you to clarify it's 00:37:36.969 --> 00:37:39.269 like clarifying for itself that what you asked 00:37:39.269 --> 00:37:42.269 it Yeah, but you know what? That also may be. 00:37:42.349 --> 00:37:45.750 So someone pointed out there's a TV series that 00:37:45.750 --> 00:37:48.650 Jimmy Carr, I think it's called Roast Jimmy Carr. 00:37:48.869 --> 00:37:51.909 And the crowd is basically just told, shout out 00:37:51.909 --> 00:37:56.690 roasts at him and he'll reply. And I hadn't even 00:37:56.690 --> 00:37:59.349 noticed until I read the comment. Everyone shouts 00:37:59.349 --> 00:38:01.289 out and it's very clear what they shout out. 00:38:01.449 --> 00:38:04.110 But what he does is he repeats it back to them. 00:38:04.150 --> 00:38:07.099 He's trying to think. It's about. hiding the 00:38:07.099 --> 00:38:09.480 processing time isn't it yeah so while it's saying 00:38:09.480 --> 00:38:11.619 is this what you asked it's already started the 00:38:11.619 --> 00:38:15.159 wheels in motion for that particular thing and 00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:17.119 if it's wrong then you're going to say it's wrong 00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:18.539 and it's going to still repeat it back to you 00:38:18.539 --> 00:38:21.260 and the book yeah very clever idea anything with 00:38:21.260 --> 00:38:23.199 that last comment on the general thing is it 00:38:23.199 --> 00:38:25.760 does store all that information i don't know 00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:27.320 if that's something that gets sent off to google 00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:30.199 more than likely it does but you can get to it 00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:31.980 yourself and you can see every question you ask 00:38:31.980 --> 00:38:35.489 and every response but If you then try and share 00:38:35.489 --> 00:38:38.050 that out, I was trying to export that. You can 00:38:38.050 --> 00:38:40.530 only do it per question or per answer on the 00:38:40.530 --> 00:38:42.630 phone. So I'm wondering if I go on a computer, 00:38:42.750 --> 00:38:44.829 if I can actually export the entire conversation 00:38:44.829 --> 00:38:47.750 because that one with the vans has a lot of separate 00:38:47.750 --> 00:38:50.170 information I wanted to export so I could send 00:38:50.170 --> 00:38:53.030 it to Seymour and be like, okay, this is the 00:38:53.030 --> 00:38:55.070 stuff that I've information that I've got now 00:38:55.070 --> 00:38:58.389 for us to look at these different vans. you know, 00:38:58.429 --> 00:39:00.909 Google thinks we should be getting. Yeah, so 00:39:00.909 --> 00:39:02.809 I'm just having a very quick look here. There's 00:39:02.809 --> 00:39:05.909 Gemini Advanced. Yes, that's the one, yeah. So 00:39:05.909 --> 00:39:09.650 that's the £18 .99, and it's probably cheaper 00:39:09.650 --> 00:39:11.449 because this is doing it through the Apple subscription. 00:39:11.449 --> 00:39:15.070 Well, that'll be built, well, it's, if I was 00:39:15.070 --> 00:39:18.090 doing it, that moves my subscription from like 00:39:18.090 --> 00:39:22.239 12 to 18. So it's a small increase in my monthly 00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:25.440 bill rather than me adding £18 extra to what 00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:27.199 I'm already paying. Interesting. If I want it, 00:39:27.260 --> 00:39:29.360 it's basically saying charging me £18 .99, but 00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:31.820 that will give me Google One as well. Yeah, you'd 00:39:31.820 --> 00:39:34.480 get the two terabytes of online storage. Correct, 00:39:34.500 --> 00:39:37.880 Fitbit Premium and God. But a good thing about 00:39:37.880 --> 00:39:40.019 both, talking about that kind of story again. 00:39:40.019 --> 00:39:42.480 It's taking your health data. Yeah, it does. 00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:47.039 Slightly off now. It's the tangent podcast. And 00:39:47.039 --> 00:39:49.260 we're aiming for an hour. Yeah, sorry, we do 00:39:49.260 --> 00:39:51.300 need to hurry up. I'm losing track of what I 00:39:51.300 --> 00:39:53.480 was actually going to say. If you take photos 00:39:53.480 --> 00:39:56.480 on a Google Pixel phone, they don't count to 00:39:56.480 --> 00:39:59.360 your data storage. Nice. That's a nice touch. 00:39:59.639 --> 00:40:01.679 Okay. I wonder if Apple probably does the same. 00:40:01.900 --> 00:40:04.400 Just a little tip then. If you have Amazon Prime, 00:40:04.619 --> 00:40:07.840 download Amazon Photos, unlimited photo storage 00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:10.500 at original resolution if you're an Amazon Prime 00:40:10.500 --> 00:40:12.780 member. Ah, so I've got two different ways I 00:40:12.780 --> 00:40:14.619 could do the same thing then. 100%. That's good 00:40:14.619 --> 00:40:17.699 for certainly Apple users. I mean, Apple storage 00:40:17.699 --> 00:40:19.360 probably does the same, actually store Apple 00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:22.139 photos surely. No, you have a certain amount 00:40:22.139 --> 00:40:24.179 of space with iCloud and that's it. Okay, right, 00:40:24.340 --> 00:40:26.960 let's go on with it. I said an hour. Hardly Shakespeare 00:40:26.960 --> 00:40:30.760 is it, accessing library computer data. Ridiculous. 00:40:32.219 --> 00:40:35.199 The Quatermass Experiment with an X. The Quatermass. 00:40:35.219 --> 00:40:37.539 Quatermass, sorry. Okay, so fun fact, it was 00:40:37.539 --> 00:40:40.420 with an X because this was, as much as it's rated 00:40:40.420 --> 00:40:45.099 as a PG now, was an X -rated film, which meant 00:40:45.099 --> 00:40:48.880 they thought there was too much in it for 16 00:40:48.880 --> 00:40:51.480 -year -old or belows to watch. So it was an 18 00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:54.099 above certificate. When did this film come out? 00:40:54.500 --> 00:40:57.980 1955. And a boy died watching it from being too 00:40:57.980 --> 00:41:02.320 scared. Seriously? I didn't realize this is part 00:41:02.320 --> 00:41:04.780 of the Hammer Horror family. So it's a Hammer 00:41:04.780 --> 00:41:06.300 Horror, this film. I don't know what that means. 00:41:06.599 --> 00:41:09.019 It's a collection of horror films. You'd know 00:41:09.019 --> 00:41:10.659 some of the Hammer Horrors if I show you them 00:41:10.659 --> 00:41:13.719 anyway. It was paired up with a film called The 00:41:13.719 --> 00:41:17.619 Orchid. And as records go, allegedly a young 00:41:17.619 --> 00:41:23.219 boy died from an aortic rupture. during watching 00:41:23.219 --> 00:41:26.699 this, which it was an undiagnosed medical condition, 00:41:26.940 --> 00:41:29.659 but it was aggravated by apparently him being 00:41:29.659 --> 00:41:33.099 scared to death watching the film. Wow. Okay. 00:41:33.360 --> 00:41:36.639 I know that it's a bit different now and we're 00:41:36.639 --> 00:41:38.360 all a little bit kind of used to these kind of 00:41:38.360 --> 00:41:40.780 things. It's not even remotely scary. No, it's 00:41:40.780 --> 00:41:44.039 not. Not even remotely. No. I don't, you know, 00:41:44.039 --> 00:41:46.340 the only thing that kind of makes it scary is 00:41:46.340 --> 00:41:51.409 the music that does it. Very loud kind of. almost 00:41:51.409 --> 00:41:53.989 like psycho -esque kind of score to this film. 00:41:54.030 --> 00:41:55.869 I think that could probably ramp the tension 00:41:55.869 --> 00:41:59.190 up. And if you didn't have that, it would just 00:41:59.190 --> 00:42:02.230 be a very standard, not even remotely scary film. 00:42:02.289 --> 00:42:03.750 True. But, you know, we're talking about in the 00:42:03.750 --> 00:42:05.989 50s, so it's a bit different now, isn't it? We've 00:42:05.989 --> 00:42:08.690 seen Saw, you know. Precisely. I mean, I will 00:42:08.690 --> 00:42:10.889 point out a couple of things. First of all, in 00:42:10.889 --> 00:42:13.670 the UK, Quase Mass Experiment. In the US, it 00:42:13.670 --> 00:42:17.170 was called The Creeping Unknown. Had a name change. 00:42:17.570 --> 00:42:20.340 Yeah. Which kind of makes sense with... The whole 00:42:20.340 --> 00:42:22.780 story of the film. Both names make sense to the 00:42:22.780 --> 00:42:24.420 film, to be fair. Yeah, and I think they actually 00:42:24.420 --> 00:42:26.380 call it The Creeping Unknown at one point in 00:42:26.380 --> 00:42:29.400 the film towards the end when he's become the 00:42:29.400 --> 00:42:32.239 monster. The octopus blob. Yeah, the octopus 00:42:32.239 --> 00:42:37.320 blob. Let's just get... I think first question 00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:39.099 for me, because I chose this film and I chose 00:42:39.099 --> 00:42:41.460 it because I'm very fond of it. I remember being 00:42:41.460 --> 00:42:44.559 young and mum and dad saying, oh, this was a 00:42:44.559 --> 00:42:46.820 terrifying sci -fi film when we were young, so 00:42:46.820 --> 00:42:50.010 why don't you watch it? Yeah. I love the other 00:42:50.010 --> 00:42:53.369 ones. So this is based on a TV dramatization 00:42:53.369 --> 00:42:57.349 they did. They did a TV series of the Quatermass 00:42:57.349 --> 00:42:59.869 Experiment, and then they made it into a film. 00:43:00.170 --> 00:43:04.150 And I've got all the TV ones on DVD, and actually 00:43:04.150 --> 00:43:05.829 I probably should have said the TV series is 00:43:05.829 --> 00:43:09.260 better. But this was just a single film, so it 00:43:09.260 --> 00:43:12.099 was easier to watch. But all the Quatermass stuff, 00:43:12.239 --> 00:43:14.440 the Quatermass and the Pit, the Quatermass Experiment, 00:43:14.920 --> 00:43:17.380 I've forgotten what the third one's called, but 00:43:17.380 --> 00:43:19.760 all of them are just really good classic sci 00:43:19.760 --> 00:43:22.940 -fi. The Quatermass Experiment 2 is like the 00:43:22.940 --> 00:43:27.119 War of Alien, the Alien War or something? Is 00:43:27.119 --> 00:43:30.519 that right? I will tell. It came up on my YouTube 00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:35.579 as like, why don't you watch this yet next? There's 00:43:35.579 --> 00:43:38.480 been a couple, and there was actually, so yeah, 00:43:38.539 --> 00:43:40.320 there's Quatermass in the Pit, Quatermass Experiment. 00:43:42.440 --> 00:43:44.619 The Quatermass, oh, there's lots of different 00:43:44.619 --> 00:43:47.239 names for it. There's lots of, yeah, Quatermass 00:43:47.239 --> 00:43:52.119 2, I think they called it. But there's quite 00:43:52.119 --> 00:43:56.219 a few versions of it. And there was, I'm pretty 00:43:56.219 --> 00:44:00.699 sure, it was the Quatermass Experiment. They 00:44:00.699 --> 00:44:03.300 did a modern version, which was filmed in... 00:44:03.599 --> 00:44:08.360 live real time so i think i think it was a bbc 00:44:08.360 --> 00:44:11.239 and they they basically did the story but it 00:44:11.239 --> 00:44:15.920 was filmed live and broadcast live as a drama 00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:19.659 very very clever enemy from space enemy from 00:44:19.659 --> 00:44:21.840 earth so quite a massive experiment to enemy 00:44:21.840 --> 00:44:24.320 from space is what i'm seeing on here i don't 00:44:24.320 --> 00:44:26.599 know if that's like a pretend film or something 00:44:26.599 --> 00:44:28.940 that's not one i recognize i don't know if that's 00:44:28.940 --> 00:44:31.900 the case but anyway yeah the second one the the 00:44:32.269 --> 00:44:36.190 After the pit, the one, basically, there's aliens 00:44:36.190 --> 00:44:40.889 creating a space station on Earth and slowly 00:44:40.889 --> 00:44:43.269 taking people over. Again, really, really good. 00:44:44.349 --> 00:44:47.150 Coming away from that then, what did you think 00:44:47.150 --> 00:44:51.909 of the film? I enjoyed it. I definitely enjoyed 00:44:51.909 --> 00:44:54.829 it. It was just odd. I didn't really know what 00:44:54.829 --> 00:44:59.949 to expect. It's got that classic old film... 00:45:00.650 --> 00:45:05.130 way of acting where men like to be aggressively 00:45:05.130 --> 00:45:09.449 kind of rude to everybody to each other women 00:45:09.449 --> 00:45:14.110 are pathetic oh yeah death scenes are hysterical 00:45:14.110 --> 00:45:16.690 quite a mass is an absolute dick in this he's 00:45:16.690 --> 00:45:18.969 not he's not a nice he's nowhere near like that 00:45:18.969 --> 00:45:22.190 in the tv series this is purely a hollywood thing 00:45:22.190 --> 00:45:24.570 he's an evil scientist in this yeah absolutely 00:45:24.570 --> 00:45:26.650 he's like not actually caring about anyone but 00:45:26.650 --> 00:45:29.909 his experiment And the ending shows that. It 00:45:29.909 --> 00:45:32.510 walks away from fucking everybody. Let's start 00:45:32.510 --> 00:45:35.989 again. Yeah. So what do we do now? We start again. 00:45:36.130 --> 00:45:38.949 And then it almost ends like one of those kind 00:45:38.949 --> 00:45:44.179 of American gumshoe kind of detective. series 00:45:44.179 --> 00:45:46.139 doesn't it where he walks off into the dark ready 00:45:46.139 --> 00:45:48.840 to like solve the next crime so i'm not expecting 00:45:48.840 --> 00:45:50.480 anybody to actually have watched this with us 00:45:50.480 --> 00:45:53.380 so what is it so quatermass is this scientist 00:45:53.380 --> 00:45:57.199 and he sends this spaceship off into space with 00:45:57.199 --> 00:46:00.780 three astronauts in it it disappears for 54 days 00:46:00.780 --> 00:46:03.559 and then crash lands in a field in harfordshire 00:46:03.559 --> 00:46:07.820 yes harfordshire again yep Again, I'm guessing 00:46:07.820 --> 00:46:09.340 it was going to be filmed. They say the Southern 00:46:09.340 --> 00:46:11.239 Counties, but I'm pretty sure it's Hertfordshire. 00:46:11.639 --> 00:46:13.840 It's going to be Hertfordshire. And don't forget 00:46:13.840 --> 00:46:16.639 in Doctor Who and the Daleks, the film, I think 00:46:16.639 --> 00:46:20.739 it's, oh God, what's it called? Invasion of the 00:46:20.739 --> 00:46:25.059 Daleks is set just off the countryside in Watford. 00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:29.780 Oh, is it? Yeah. Oh, nice. And they finally managed 00:46:29.780 --> 00:46:32.059 to open up the ship, gets in its crash landing 00:46:32.059 --> 00:46:34.599 in someone's field, and there's only one man 00:46:34.599 --> 00:46:36.659 in there. One man in there. And a skinny suit 00:46:36.659 --> 00:46:41.780 with no person in it, basically. And it turns 00:46:41.780 --> 00:46:44.460 out that actually it's not him anymore. It's 00:46:44.460 --> 00:46:47.059 some weird monster, which over the course of 00:46:47.059 --> 00:46:50.260 the film evolves. He slowly becomes the monster, 00:46:50.320 --> 00:46:52.179 doesn't he? Yeah, he absorbs things. The first 00:46:52.179 --> 00:46:54.820 thing he absorbs is the cactus, oddly. And then 00:46:54.820 --> 00:46:57.039 from then he starts absorbing people. And then 00:46:57.039 --> 00:46:59.579 by the end of it, we're in Westminster Abbey 00:46:59.579 --> 00:47:02.559 for some reason. I quite like that. So yeah, 00:47:02.619 --> 00:47:05.460 the BBC are filming a restoration piece about 00:47:05.460 --> 00:47:07.000 Westminster Abbey because around then it was 00:47:07.000 --> 00:47:09.320 being restored. And yeah, they're just doing 00:47:09.320 --> 00:47:13.139 this film and then all shit kind of sets loose. 00:47:13.280 --> 00:47:15.099 And I think that's a brilliant, brilliant way 00:47:15.099 --> 00:47:18.400 to kind of conclude it. Can I say about that 00:47:18.400 --> 00:47:20.800 scene? I've got an issue with that scene. Well, 00:47:20.800 --> 00:47:22.340 the fact that they probably burnt an octopus 00:47:22.340 --> 00:47:27.150 alive. No. My issue really is everyone's reaction 00:47:27.150 --> 00:47:29.090 to the person that's supposedly just fallen to 00:47:29.090 --> 00:47:31.590 their death. Shall we continue? Yeah, yeah, I'm 00:47:31.590 --> 00:47:34.289 fine. Yeah, they're all just stood there looking 00:47:34.289 --> 00:47:36.230 at this dead body on the ground and they're all 00:47:36.230 --> 00:47:37.789 like, what just happened? Oh, I think he's fallen 00:47:37.789 --> 00:47:41.530 to his death. Okay. Shall we keep filming? And 00:47:41.530 --> 00:47:42.610 he goes, oh, you're all right with it? He goes, 00:47:42.710 --> 00:47:45.510 yeah, I'm fine. I think we need to learn about 00:47:45.510 --> 00:47:48.190 the Abbey. And then off he goes. And then he 00:47:48.190 --> 00:47:49.750 just goes off and just fucking starts again. 00:47:49.789 --> 00:47:53.260 It's like, no. everyone would be like holy fuck 00:47:53.260 --> 00:47:59.699 yeah no 100 it's just it's very very uh the police 00:47:59.699 --> 00:48:03.159 chief always shaving oh fuck me the police chief 00:48:03.159 --> 00:48:06.539 i love it's such a traditional black and white 00:48:06.539 --> 00:48:08.980 film bit as well isn't it he's shaving the phone 00:48:08.980 --> 00:48:14.349 rings so he puts the rays down and hello Oh, 00:48:14.409 --> 00:48:16.230 I'll be straight there. Right. Run, run, run, 00:48:16.230 --> 00:48:18.449 run, run. And his wife's telling him off. Yeah, 00:48:18.449 --> 00:48:19.769 his wife's telling him off. I've not got time 00:48:19.769 --> 00:48:21.409 for this. Oh, well, at least drink your tea. 00:48:21.469 --> 00:48:24.190 No wonder you've got acid. Yeah, but it's like 00:48:24.190 --> 00:48:28.550 she's being really passive aggressive with him, 00:48:28.610 --> 00:48:31.489 basically accusing him of having an affair. And 00:48:31.489 --> 00:48:33.650 he's like, no, the people need me. But the thing 00:48:33.650 --> 00:48:35.349 is, that's the second time in the film where 00:48:35.349 --> 00:48:37.230 he's been interrupted changing because he's at 00:48:37.230 --> 00:48:41.000 his desk and he's, I mean, you. As somebody who 00:48:41.000 --> 00:48:43.900 doesn't use a shaver from the 1950s, I didn't 00:48:43.900 --> 00:48:45.139 know what the fucking hell he was doing because 00:48:45.139 --> 00:48:48.360 he's like creating this device. And then while 00:48:48.360 --> 00:48:50.039 this other copper comes in and all of a sudden 00:48:50.039 --> 00:48:51.920 he's just shaving his face and it's plugged into 00:48:51.920 --> 00:48:54.239 the socket on his desk. I'm like, oh, he's fucking 00:48:54.239 --> 00:48:56.460 just shaving in the middle of the day at his 00:48:56.460 --> 00:48:58.960 office. That's really gross. Especially if they 00:48:58.960 --> 00:49:01.139 hot desk. Imagine if they hot desk. I still think 00:49:01.139 --> 00:49:02.739 it would have been. I don't think they had hot 00:49:02.739 --> 00:49:05.340 desks in 1955. I still think it would have been 00:49:05.340 --> 00:49:07.400 funnier if throughout the film you just saw one 00:49:07.400 --> 00:49:09.500 side of his beard getting darker and darker. 00:49:09.519 --> 00:49:11.460 The other side of his face just normal. Well, 00:49:11.460 --> 00:49:12.719 he didn't finish shaving, though. The second 00:49:12.719 --> 00:49:14.679 time, he didn't finish. He still had it all around 00:49:14.679 --> 00:49:16.940 his face. So he basically had done the side, 00:49:17.059 --> 00:49:19.960 like one side, and he hadn't done the goatee 00:49:19.960 --> 00:49:23.280 bit and the other side of his face. So the guy, 00:49:23.340 --> 00:49:25.480 I mean, how many fucking times a day does he 00:49:25.480 --> 00:49:27.760 shave? Yeah. Because there's not been that many 00:49:27.760 --> 00:49:30.019 days at this point in time. He's constantly shaving. 00:49:30.280 --> 00:49:32.300 And then, yeah, he runs off to Westminster Abbey 00:49:32.300 --> 00:49:35.480 with a half -shade face. Yeah. Anyway, just that 00:49:35.480 --> 00:49:37.500 was a little bit. So I just found a bit funny. 00:49:38.889 --> 00:49:41.230 I think what we do need to understand here is 00:49:41.230 --> 00:49:43.590 actually quite the importance of this film in 00:49:43.590 --> 00:49:47.269 how traditional sci -fi films have gone. Now, 00:49:47.289 --> 00:49:49.730 I know comic books existed beforehand. I don't 00:49:49.730 --> 00:49:52.789 know when the term astronaut came about, but 00:49:52.789 --> 00:49:54.170 did you notice they weren't called astronauts? 00:49:54.909 --> 00:49:56.969 They didn't have any sort of... They were just... 00:49:56.969 --> 00:49:59.429 They were the heroes that had gone up. Men had 00:49:59.429 --> 00:50:02.250 gone up. They didn't use any sort of term, spacemen 00:50:02.250 --> 00:50:03.929 or anything like that. There was no terminology 00:50:03.929 --> 00:50:06.989 that we would have in modern era. However, when 00:50:06.989 --> 00:50:10.210 you look at cinema, did you... And there was 00:50:10.210 --> 00:50:12.710 just some ideas in this that were wonderful and 00:50:12.710 --> 00:50:17.389 so far ahead of the time. So their space rocket, 00:50:17.469 --> 00:50:21.130 they had remote video recording in there. They'd 00:50:21.130 --> 00:50:23.889 got set up watching not just the people, but, 00:50:23.949 --> 00:50:27.389 oh, yeah, we set up an automatic prism that reflects 00:50:27.389 --> 00:50:29.409 the camera to then look at what the gauges were 00:50:29.409 --> 00:50:31.409 showing. Yeah, it's very clever. Which is just 00:50:31.409 --> 00:50:34.690 such a very neat idea. And then you've got the 00:50:34.690 --> 00:50:36.269 bit where it's showing the people in the crew 00:50:36.269 --> 00:50:38.980 and you've got one in the front. And then the 00:50:38.980 --> 00:50:40.519 next thing you've got, the person in the back 00:50:40.519 --> 00:50:43.679 is walking up the wall and almost upside down 00:50:43.679 --> 00:50:48.739 in the same shot, which for 1955, there's no 00:50:48.739 --> 00:50:52.679 trick of it. They've done that really, really 00:50:52.679 --> 00:50:55.880 well. And the next time I guess we see that is 00:50:55.880 --> 00:51:00.280 2001 A Space Odyssey by Kubrick with one of the 00:51:00.280 --> 00:51:02.500 first scenes where you see someone walking around 00:51:02.500 --> 00:51:06.719 the entire room on the ship. He must have got 00:51:06.719 --> 00:51:11.139 that from this. So there's some very key, important 00:51:11.139 --> 00:51:14.679 sci -fi films have taken their leave from this 00:51:14.679 --> 00:51:17.500 hammer horror film that got an X certificate. 00:51:18.119 --> 00:51:20.699 Yeah. I mean, right at the start, where you see 00:51:20.699 --> 00:51:22.579 the spaceship crashed, I was thinking, because 00:51:22.579 --> 00:51:24.619 you don't know what it is at first, I was just 00:51:24.619 --> 00:51:28.760 thinking... Oh, my God. You know what? The couple 00:51:28.760 --> 00:51:30.079 right at the beginning where they run and jump 00:51:30.079 --> 00:51:32.719 in the hay. Having sex in the hay. Oh, yeah. 00:51:32.880 --> 00:51:35.380 It was just so classic, wasn't it? Let's run 00:51:35.380 --> 00:51:37.139 and jump in the hay. Let's run and jump in the 00:51:37.139 --> 00:51:38.960 hay. Get down, get down. And she just gets up 00:51:38.960 --> 00:51:42.900 and bolts it. She bolts it to her house, which 00:51:42.900 --> 00:51:46.900 is basically the house in the field. And their 00:51:46.900 --> 00:51:48.400 dad's watching out the window. So it's like, 00:51:48.460 --> 00:51:50.239 you've just jumped in the hay in front of your 00:51:50.239 --> 00:51:54.050 future dad there, mate. Well done. But at this 00:51:54.050 --> 00:51:56.130 time, you think it's an alien ship. And I was 00:51:56.130 --> 00:51:58.909 like, and I just, it's like, they've put no effort 00:51:58.909 --> 00:52:00.929 in thinking what an alien ship might look like. 00:52:00.989 --> 00:52:04.449 This is a classic human rocket, pointy, with 00:52:04.449 --> 00:52:06.329 three prongs at the bottom. Yeah, but don't forget, 00:52:06.369 --> 00:52:09.630 this is still very early for sci -fi. But you 00:52:09.630 --> 00:52:12.389 would have a saucer. You'd make it a saucer. 00:52:12.389 --> 00:52:15.210 It's an alien ship. But it is meant to be a human 00:52:15.210 --> 00:52:19.230 ship. But very handy, the door was above ground. 00:52:19.710 --> 00:52:23.030 yeah that was super i do i do love the fact that 00:52:23.030 --> 00:52:26.090 i think in the tv series they've basically dig 00:52:26.090 --> 00:52:28.449 a giant trench and you've just got a tube in 00:52:28.449 --> 00:52:29.929 the trench and that's how they get the people 00:52:29.929 --> 00:52:32.630 out that's how it's crashed whereas the film 00:52:32.630 --> 00:52:36.010 has basically taken a model classic rocket like 00:52:36.010 --> 00:52:37.969 you say that classic rocket design you think 00:52:37.969 --> 00:52:40.690 of tintin sort of rocket yeah and they've basically 00:52:40.690 --> 00:52:42.670 gone what would happen if a kid threw this up 00:52:42.670 --> 00:52:44.949 in the air and it landed in soft grass i would 00:52:44.949 --> 00:52:46.809 land tip first and then just be sticking out 00:52:46.809 --> 00:52:49.139 the ground Yeah, let's do that. Yeah, and that's 00:52:49.139 --> 00:52:52.440 it. Let's do that. And then luckily, it was the 00:52:52.440 --> 00:52:55.239 exact height the door was. I mean, world's bloody 00:52:55.239 --> 00:52:57.579 strongest rocket as well. It's just crashed at 00:52:57.579 --> 00:53:00.260 Earth with no braking and it's withstood that. 00:53:01.539 --> 00:53:04.599 Did they ever get the rocket out and make it 00:53:04.599 --> 00:53:07.300 upright? No. Because they go in there a lot. 00:53:07.400 --> 00:53:10.039 I'm just thinking now, it would all be upside 00:53:10.039 --> 00:53:12.980 down. No, so that's the first thing they do is 00:53:12.980 --> 00:53:16.059 they go in the rocket and... The bloke goes to 00:53:16.059 --> 00:53:17.980 open up the hatch and he can't, I can't open 00:53:17.980 --> 00:53:19.679 the hatch. So he goes to something on the wall 00:53:19.679 --> 00:53:23.079 and then the whole room, well, the camera just 00:53:23.079 --> 00:53:25.059 rotates to make it look like the room's rotating. 00:53:25.260 --> 00:53:28.260 So I think what they're basically saying is the 00:53:28.260 --> 00:53:30.760 compartment that they're in is kind of like a 00:53:30.760 --> 00:53:32.480 gyroscope. It's a big gimbal kind of thing. Yeah, 00:53:32.480 --> 00:53:35.840 exactly. And they rotate it so it's level. I 00:53:35.840 --> 00:53:40.800 missed that. That makes sense. Yeah. And the 00:53:40.800 --> 00:53:44.199 guy who's playing the creature. He was a bit 00:53:44.199 --> 00:53:47.159 scary, to be fair. Oh, God, yeah. He, like, demon 00:53:47.159 --> 00:53:50.260 headmaster vibes from him big time. But his wife 00:53:50.260 --> 00:53:53.860 was fucking pathetic. Pathetic, but then at the 00:53:53.860 --> 00:53:57.760 same time, a bit badass. Yes. In equal quantities, 00:53:57.860 --> 00:54:00.639 because she arranged, like, he gets taken off 00:54:00.639 --> 00:54:03.099 to, like, the secret lab to get conducted after, 00:54:03.159 --> 00:54:05.780 and she goes, well, I want him to come out. After 00:54:05.780 --> 00:54:08.119 swooning and all other kind of nonsense that 00:54:08.119 --> 00:54:11.320 women do in the old 50s films. Yeah, let's just 00:54:11.320 --> 00:54:15.880 actually, let's just... This film is of an era. 00:54:16.340 --> 00:54:17.539 We're going to do that whole thing. We're going 00:54:17.539 --> 00:54:19.719 to have to do this. All right, Disney. Disney 00:54:19.719 --> 00:54:21.420 are right. We're just going to insert it here. 00:54:21.519 --> 00:54:23.519 Basically, when we talk about it, we aren't honestly 00:54:23.519 --> 00:54:25.260 being against any sort of gender. There's no 00:54:25.260 --> 00:54:28.239 gender -specific kind of hatred in this and so 00:54:28.239 --> 00:54:32.559 on. But 1950s films, women are written like fucking 00:54:32.559 --> 00:54:36.300 idiots. Very rarely do you see a strong individual 00:54:36.300 --> 00:54:39.150 woman in these films. But we said the same thing 00:54:39.150 --> 00:54:41.769 in Fresh Gordon. I said the same in Fresh Gordon. 00:54:42.030 --> 00:54:45.170 They don't write, at this point in time, they're 00:54:45.170 --> 00:54:47.969 not writing strong roles for women. They're just 00:54:47.969 --> 00:54:49.849 not. And they're treating women like they're 00:54:49.849 --> 00:54:52.309 all pathetic. Even into the 80s was the fucking 00:54:52.309 --> 00:54:54.849 same. Look at whichever Indiana Jones has got 00:54:54.849 --> 00:54:59.010 the singer in Temple of Doom. Oh my God, I want 00:54:59.010 --> 00:55:01.190 to punch her. Especially the bit where they jump 00:55:01.190 --> 00:55:02.550 out of the plane because you've literally just 00:55:02.550 --> 00:55:04.750 got five minutes of her screaming and it's like, 00:55:04.889 --> 00:55:06.889 I actually want to kill her. If I was Indian 00:55:06.889 --> 00:55:08.889 Jack, I would push her off the raft at this point. 00:55:09.110 --> 00:55:10.789 But she does have the badass moment where she 00:55:10.789 --> 00:55:13.489 goes and gets herself a, she pays for like some 00:55:13.489 --> 00:55:17.250 kind of special detective guy and then they break 00:55:17.250 --> 00:55:20.360 into the hospital to get him out. And that's 00:55:20.360 --> 00:55:22.619 a badass move. And then she's driving him when 00:55:22.619 --> 00:55:24.420 they do get him out after he gets murdered in 00:55:24.420 --> 00:55:26.619 the lift, which is hilarious because he just 00:55:26.619 --> 00:55:29.000 kind of tilts back and goes, ah, like the guy 00:55:29.000 --> 00:55:31.639 in the fucking pharmacy later who completely 00:55:31.639 --> 00:55:36.840 hangs the axle, flies back and goes, oh, he's 00:55:36.840 --> 00:55:40.980 just dead. It's very handy. Yeah, then she's 00:55:40.980 --> 00:55:43.099 in the car with him. And she's like smoking. 00:55:43.260 --> 00:55:45.019 We'll just start again. We'll just start a new 00:55:45.019 --> 00:55:47.300 life. I love the fact the car's got this little 00:55:47.300 --> 00:55:49.639 pouch on the seat that's designed for cigarettes. 00:55:50.380 --> 00:55:52.880 And she just helps herself to one, starts smoking 00:55:52.880 --> 00:55:57.119 away. And then, yeah, pulls over. Yeah, screaming. 00:55:57.119 --> 00:55:58.960 I'm assuming she's dead. I don't think we actually 00:55:58.960 --> 00:56:02.960 see her again. No, I'm not sure we do. But the 00:56:02.960 --> 00:56:05.380 idea of the film is good. I like the fact that, 00:56:05.400 --> 00:56:09.219 yeah, they've gone away and this alien has basically 00:56:09.219 --> 00:56:13.849 taken him over and is slowly, evolving into something 00:56:13.849 --> 00:56:18.090 new on the planet and they just it's almost like 00:56:18.090 --> 00:56:19.929 they kind of run out of conclusion so they decide 00:56:19.929 --> 00:56:21.969 right now it's that octopus monster and we'll 00:56:21.969 --> 00:56:25.769 kill him really quick yeah it was that's i mean 00:56:25.769 --> 00:56:29.130 if i was an evil scientist would you not be running 00:56:29.130 --> 00:56:31.289 in there trying to stop them from killing this 00:56:31.289 --> 00:56:33.530 alien life form because of all you could learn 00:56:33.530 --> 00:56:37.429 from it i think yeah you would but you'd be containing 00:56:37.429 --> 00:56:40.190 when you i think their problem was Somehow the 00:56:40.190 --> 00:56:42.809 doctor had figured out the maths to know exactly 00:56:42.809 --> 00:56:44.769 when it was going to have enough mass that its 00:56:44.769 --> 00:56:46.590 spores were going to spread and take over the 00:56:46.590 --> 00:56:48.510 world. That's a good point, yes. And they wanted 00:56:48.510 --> 00:56:50.929 to deal with that. So they turned off all of 00:56:50.929 --> 00:56:53.530 London's electricity and then with two cables 00:56:53.530 --> 00:56:57.150 just attached them to the scaffolding posts and 00:56:57.150 --> 00:57:00.449 just electrified the fucking thing. Yeah, okay. 00:57:01.170 --> 00:57:03.750 My next problem with the film, as much as I love 00:57:03.750 --> 00:57:05.869 it, and I really do love it, I think it's a great 00:57:05.869 --> 00:57:09.849 classic sci -fi film, the number of animals that 00:57:09.849 --> 00:57:12.349 may have been killed in this film. I hope they 00:57:12.349 --> 00:57:13.829 weren't really killed because that's sad. Because 00:57:13.829 --> 00:57:15.989 there's lots of animals in the zoo scene that 00:57:15.989 --> 00:57:20.030 you look at and go, um... Are they real? Yeah, 00:57:20.070 --> 00:57:22.469 like Simba, the lion, which was an interesting 00:57:22.469 --> 00:57:25.250 name. I do wonder if that was just a taxidermy. 00:57:25.289 --> 00:57:28.110 I can't imagine any film company would have got, 00:57:28.190 --> 00:57:30.630 not even permission, but the money to kill, even 00:57:30.630 --> 00:57:35.090 back then, just to kill a lion. But the animals 00:57:35.090 --> 00:57:40.980 that were on the pathway... I'm not sure. And 00:57:40.980 --> 00:57:43.559 then the octopus at the end. So all those close 00:57:43.559 --> 00:57:46.239 -up shots of the alien are an octopus. Oh, they 00:57:46.239 --> 00:57:47.900 actually are an octopus. That is a natural octopus. 00:57:47.960 --> 00:57:49.739 Okay, well, it makes sense. And then I went back 00:57:49.739 --> 00:57:54.360 and watched it. Okay, that is actually on fire. 00:57:54.840 --> 00:57:58.840 Yeah. So have they actually set an octopus on 00:57:58.840 --> 00:58:01.019 fire for this? Well, I hope not. I'm sure there'll 00:58:01.019 --> 00:58:04.599 be some kind of IMDb thing. The only thing in 00:58:04.599 --> 00:58:07.670 the IMDb says... The close -up shots were of 00:58:07.670 --> 00:58:11.389 an octopus. So what are the far -out shots? The 00:58:11.389 --> 00:58:17.250 far -out shots are of a burning octopus. So I 00:58:17.250 --> 00:58:22.469 genuinely, just going back, I know they had the 00:58:22.469 --> 00:58:24.809 ability to not green screen, but they could kind 00:58:24.809 --> 00:58:28.429 of film flames in front of it. And they had a 00:58:28.429 --> 00:58:32.309 way of doing a version of chroma screen because 00:58:32.309 --> 00:58:35.940 a lot of it was done with things like... painting 00:58:35.940 --> 00:58:38.239 and so on like the charlie chaplin stuff where 00:58:38.239 --> 00:58:40.460 oh he might fall off that edge that's got no 00:58:40.460 --> 00:58:42.860 barrier well that was just all a painting and 00:58:42.860 --> 00:58:45.440 it was a piece of glass in front of the camera 00:58:45.440 --> 00:58:49.559 so it was never there and they could do similar 00:58:49.559 --> 00:58:52.280 things with the flames these flames looked very 00:58:52.280 --> 00:58:55.380 3d on that octopus yeah it looked good didn't 00:58:55.380 --> 00:58:58.119 it it looked a little too good so i do wonder 00:58:58.119 --> 00:59:00.300 if seafood doesn't fall because i don't even 00:59:00.300 --> 00:59:02.900 know when film industry had the animal protection 00:59:02.900 --> 00:59:06.300 stuff come in I don't know. I don't know if that 00:59:06.300 --> 00:59:09.579 would have been 70s, 80s, or was it earlier than 00:59:09.579 --> 00:59:11.940 that? I'd just like to think as human beings 00:59:11.940 --> 00:59:13.619 you wouldn't just go and shoot a lion and all 00:59:13.619 --> 00:59:15.579 these other animals just for one small shot. 00:59:15.840 --> 00:59:19.599 But don't forget, I mean, yeah, I genuinely don't 00:59:19.599 --> 00:59:23.039 think they would have killed a lion even. I don't 00:59:23.039 --> 00:59:24.179 think they would have killed the other animals. 00:59:24.219 --> 00:59:26.219 I think they would have been taxidermy, hopefully, 00:59:26.420 --> 00:59:30.219 from a museum or from a collection. The octopus, 00:59:30.380 --> 00:59:32.940 though, and I think this is quite a common thing. 00:59:33.340 --> 00:59:39.619 Seafood very rarely gets considered as anything 00:59:39.619 --> 00:59:42.260 but, well, it's food. People eat this. Yeah, 00:59:42.320 --> 00:59:44.539 you eat octopus, you don't eat lions. So it doesn't 00:59:44.539 --> 00:59:50.019 matter if we set that on fire. I don't know if 00:59:50.019 --> 00:59:53.019 there was animal protection back then for films, 00:59:53.119 --> 00:59:56.239 whether it would have extended to the lives of 00:59:56.239 --> 01:00:01.090 fish and octopi. I mean, ultimately, I still 01:00:01.090 --> 01:00:02.929 think it's a very good bit of sci -fi. I like 01:00:02.929 --> 01:00:05.769 the story. The acting, yeah, very cheesy, very 01:00:05.769 --> 01:00:09.530 hammy, but it's of its time. We must watch the 01:00:09.530 --> 01:00:11.170 TV series stuff at the moment because they are 01:00:11.170 --> 01:00:13.110 very good, and Quatermass and the Pit is particularly 01:00:13.110 --> 01:00:19.750 disturbing. But, yeah, I enjoyed it. For what 01:00:19.750 --> 01:00:22.530 it is, I think it's well worth the hour and 20 01:00:22.530 --> 01:00:24.849 minutes, and it's free on YouTube at the moment. 01:00:24.949 --> 01:00:26.980 Well, yeah, I watched it free on YouTube. And 01:00:26.980 --> 01:00:28.940 in an hour and 20 minutes, it doesn't feel like 01:00:28.940 --> 01:00:30.840 it's that long. No, it doesn't. It was great. 01:00:30.940 --> 01:00:33.420 I enjoyed it. I did enjoy it. And we've got the 01:00:33.420 --> 01:00:36.719 best moment. Have dinner with us. Go on, have 01:00:36.719 --> 01:00:38.619 dinner. You can have the chocolate cake. She 01:00:38.619 --> 01:00:40.699 was the fucking scariest thing in the film. Slap 01:00:40.699 --> 01:00:43.920 the doll out of her hands. Any normal film would 01:00:43.920 --> 01:00:46.179 have her then burst into tears. Instead, she 01:00:46.179 --> 01:00:48.780 goes over and just picks up the dog's head and 01:00:48.780 --> 01:00:52.360 the body. Oh. Yeah, so this is Little Girl. So 01:00:52.360 --> 01:00:55.539 the monster's gone and hid in a bit of barge. 01:00:55.639 --> 01:00:59.500 And she's like, by what she's saying to her doll 01:00:59.500 --> 01:01:02.800 after she thumps it down the stairs, going over 01:01:02.800 --> 01:01:04.960 this bridge. Yeah, she has no friends. Yeah, 01:01:04.980 --> 01:01:07.400 so she's fallen out with her mates in some way 01:01:07.400 --> 01:01:09.219 or they're not playing how she wants to play. 01:01:09.320 --> 01:01:11.860 So she's playing with her doll. And then he climbs 01:01:11.860 --> 01:01:13.440 out of the barge because she's woken him up. 01:01:15.420 --> 01:01:18.559 She just gets in his face saying, join the party, 01:01:18.639 --> 01:01:20.780 join the party. He just starts grabbing him and 01:01:20.780 --> 01:01:23.900 all sorts. No stranger danger. Yeah, well, we 01:01:23.900 --> 01:01:25.639 hear the mum on the phone to the police later 01:01:25.639 --> 01:01:28.159 worrying about children being molested. And they 01:01:28.159 --> 01:01:31.000 were like, you know, teach your child to keep 01:01:31.000 --> 01:01:34.420 away from strange men is a very good start. That 01:01:34.420 --> 01:01:36.219 strange man that climbed out the boat that your 01:01:36.219 --> 01:01:38.219 kid instantly went up to and was trying to get 01:01:38.219 --> 01:01:40.980 to play with her. Yeah. Maybe teach your child 01:01:40.980 --> 01:01:44.159 strange danger. Exactly. And I think unless you've 01:01:44.159 --> 01:01:46.219 got anything else to say, I can end this on the 01:01:46.219 --> 01:01:49.300 best quote of the film. Yeah, go on. Quatermass 01:01:49.300 --> 01:01:52.679 is saying this. There's no room for personal 01:01:52.679 --> 01:01:57.179 feelings in science, Judith. That's him all over, 01:01:57.239 --> 01:02:01.280 isn't it? Cunt. But no, I'm not doing the ship 01:02:01.280 --> 01:02:04.389 sound again. Just go to the next section. No 01:02:04.389 --> 01:02:08.050 one is still listening anyway. So next time, 01:02:08.110 --> 01:02:11.050 we're actually going to watch the most modernist 01:02:11.050 --> 01:02:13.329 of modern things that could be modern at this 01:02:13.329 --> 01:02:15.989 modern time, as this film only came out last 01:02:15.989 --> 01:02:18.630 week. It came out last week with two of the most 01:02:18.630 --> 01:02:22.380 overused actors and actresses of the time. It's 01:02:22.380 --> 01:02:24.920 called Electric State. It's starring Millie Bobby 01:02:24.920 --> 01:02:27.400 Brown and Chris Pratt. It's on Netflix. So Chris 01:02:27.400 --> 01:02:30.760 Pratt, a .k .a. every fucking character on Hollywood 01:02:30.760 --> 01:02:33.039 at the moment. And Millie Bobby Brown, the girl 01:02:33.039 --> 01:02:35.099 that Netflix like to use for all of their shows. 01:02:35.300 --> 01:02:37.280 I quite like her, to be fair. I've not got any 01:02:37.280 --> 01:02:41.219 issues with her. Okay. I don't have any issues 01:02:41.219 --> 01:02:44.340 with her. I did watch a TikTok video. I know, 01:02:44.380 --> 01:02:47.820 TikTok's the evil things. I know, I know. There 01:02:47.820 --> 01:02:50.199 was a video that... Obviously, the production 01:02:50.199 --> 01:02:53.019 company's released of Chris Pratt and Millie 01:02:53.019 --> 01:02:56.760 Bobby Brown looking at old 1990s electric hardware. 01:02:57.079 --> 01:03:01.880 Okay. And 1980s stuff. And she picks up a Walkman 01:03:01.880 --> 01:03:04.579 and says, oh, I've got no idea what this is. 01:03:04.639 --> 01:03:07.360 Oh, I wonder what it's for. It's like, you were 01:03:07.360 --> 01:03:11.440 in Stranger Things. Purely based around the era 01:03:11.440 --> 01:03:14.340 that that thing was fucking invented. And in 01:03:14.340 --> 01:03:17.590 fact, the main part of it is they use... In one 01:03:17.590 --> 01:03:19.710 of the series, they use a Walkman to bring your 01:03:19.710 --> 01:03:22.389 ginger -haired friend down, back from wherever 01:03:22.389 --> 01:03:26.369 she's ended up. So don't play fucking dumb. She's 01:03:26.369 --> 01:03:28.909 been told. You could tell she'd been told. Act 01:03:28.909 --> 01:03:30.789 dumb. You don't know what any of this is. And 01:03:30.789 --> 01:03:33.030 it's fucking stupid. I haven't watched that. 01:03:33.050 --> 01:03:35.489 I hate it. I really hate it when they do that 01:03:35.489 --> 01:03:38.210 because there's no need. If you know what it 01:03:38.210 --> 01:03:41.039 is, just be happy you know what it is. Yeah, 01:03:41.059 --> 01:03:43.880 I think it'd be quite good. Imagine the show, 01:03:44.039 --> 01:03:45.900 though, if she did just sit there the whole time. 01:03:46.019 --> 01:03:47.460 Yeah, of course I know what that is. It's a CD 01:03:47.460 --> 01:03:49.079 Walkman. Yeah, of course I know what that is. 01:03:49.079 --> 01:03:51.460 It's a rotary telephone. Yes, of course I fucking 01:03:51.460 --> 01:03:53.239 know what that is. She hadn't watched Guardians 01:03:53.239 --> 01:03:55.860 of the Galaxy 1, where Quinn literally walks 01:03:55.860 --> 01:03:58.340 around with his Walkman. I can't blame her for 01:03:58.340 --> 01:04:00.420 not seeing Guardians of the Galaxy, though. I 01:04:00.420 --> 01:04:03.059 mean, I've seen it, but... Oh, I like them. Yeah, 01:04:03.079 --> 01:04:05.480 no, I like the first one. I've only seen the 01:04:05.480 --> 01:04:06.719 first two. I haven't seen the third one. Oh, 01:04:06.719 --> 01:04:09.460 the third's amazing. It'll make you cry. I think 01:04:09.460 --> 01:04:14.260 that you can't... you know blame an actor for 01:04:14.260 --> 01:04:18.119 not seeing no fair enough no i understand that 01:04:18.119 --> 01:04:20.000 anyway electric state i don't actually really 01:04:20.000 --> 01:04:21.760 know what it's about i just know it's sci -fi 01:04:21.760 --> 01:04:23.739 it's got something to do with robots yeah and 01:04:23.739 --> 01:04:27.059 there i took notice of it because i saw an article 01:04:27.059 --> 01:04:31.059 saying how critically it was being blasted but 01:04:31.059 --> 01:04:34.679 everyone normal people watching it are really 01:04:34.679 --> 01:04:37.280 enjoying it. So I'm getting the whole 50 -50 01:04:37.280 --> 01:04:39.659 thing. Critics are blasting it. Normal people 01:04:39.659 --> 01:04:42.119 are enjoying it. And I like that. And what I'm 01:04:42.119 --> 01:04:45.260 seeing in the middle is people saying, I enjoyed 01:04:45.260 --> 01:04:47.980 it, but I really wish there was more from the 01:04:47.980 --> 01:04:51.800 original artwork and stories in this. Oh, this 01:04:51.800 --> 01:04:53.840 is a remake of something. Is it a remake of something? 01:04:53.980 --> 01:04:58.340 Well, I think it's based on a book and there 01:04:58.340 --> 01:05:00.840 was artwork done for the book, which looked basically 01:05:00.840 --> 01:05:05.300 really amazing. And then they've taken some of 01:05:05.300 --> 01:05:07.320 it and they've not included some of the best 01:05:07.320 --> 01:05:10.820 things from it. Okay. Well, that's conversations 01:05:10.820 --> 01:05:14.019 for next time. So everyone, Electric State's 01:05:14.019 --> 01:05:17.280 on Netflix. Thank fuck this is over.
