The quickest way to end a miracle is to ask it
why it is, or what it wants. It's here! Get the
police woman back to the infirmary! Where the
hell can I get eyes like that? I'm gonna kill
a few people. The galactic is reporting heavy
damage to her landing base. Ringer around 60
degrees. We're going in. The moon's gravitational
pull. What do we do? We die. You are the user.
And everything you've done has been according
to a plan, right? You wish. Hello. Hi. Welcome
to the Untitled Sci -Fi Show. We're back, baby.
We're back. Back again. I was going to say, you're
back from outer space. I can't remember the words.
We need a song that's got the word supernova
in it. Champagne supernova in the sky. That's
what we were doing, weren't we? It was. We were
looking at a supernova in the sky. Oh, I've got
one. Power Man 5000, Supernova Goes Pop. How's
that go? Or is that literally how it goes? That's
the song. I cannot tell you how it goes. Great
song. Really good album. It's Tonight the Stars
Revolt. Brilliant album. It's a kind of new metal
album from the... I want to say early 2000s.
I'd love it if the song actually was just sung
in that exact way that you said it. It's Rob
Zombie's brother. Spider Zombie. What's that
Darth Vader sketch? Are you Jeff Vader? Are you
Bob Zombie? The Star Wars canteen. And you know
what? Eddie Izzard is very funny. You love Eddie
Izzard. It's the Lego version that makes me laugh
the most. Oh, that's the only one I know. It's
the Lego version that makes me laugh the most.
I'm sure the stand -up stage version was brilliant.
As soon as it's the Lego one, it gets me every
time. What is it? He's asking for chicken arrabbiata.
Chicken arrabbiata, yeah. Are you Jeff Vader's
brother? What, you're Jeff Vader? No. Right,
let's go with it. Go on then. Take me out to
the ball game. Take me out to the crowd. Buy
me some peanuts and Cracker Jack. I don't care
if I never get back. We might never get back.
Guess the intro. I purposely didn't listen to
the intro in the last episode because I wanted
to guess it as we record. Oh, well, I've only
prepared the one that isn't mixed with the audio.
Okay, well, that's good for you then, isn't it?
Well, exactly. So remember, this was a special
one. This is only... TV shows. Only TV shows,
very specifically. So let's get ready. Oh, we
haven't done a test. Oh, well, the microphone
isn't up, so you've got to turn the volume up
about a third of the way on the mixer. Oh, God,
yeah. That helps. Bloop. That should do. Maybe
a little much, but we'll see. Let's see. As Pornhub
starts playing. Oh, it's just not doing it. Is
it connected? It is. DLZ creator. Oh, it's all
gone Pete Tong. Oh dear. Have I at least hit
the right one? And now you're talking. How do
you press pause? In and out, he says. None of
you heard that. He just did a really dirty noise.
Okay, right, sorry. I've now put it on the right
one. Right, okay. Now I'm all flustered. Oh,
I'm all flustered. Okay. Got to get the file
up. I'm going to leave all this in. Oh, hell
no. Why not? I don't want to give myself any
difficulty. I've got so many tabs open, TJ. This
is a disaster. Especially when you don't talk
into the mic. Ah, we don't need any of that.
A liar is someone whose words are false. A liar
cannot be trusted. Okay, that's number one. Now,
I'll give you a clue. This is a series. I think
it's actually a remake. Is this the remake of
Battlestar Galactica? No, but it's a very recent
series, as in last year. And it's based on...
An actual kind of theory in space. Okay, what?
String theory or something like that? Well, not
so much a theory. Maybe a thing about planets.
Oh. I've got no idea then. If this is recent,
I don't think I've watched anything massively
recent. It's very, very good. It's three body
problems. Oh, yeah. I've not watched it. It's
absolutely brilliant. It's on my list to watch,
but I've not watched it. And that's Michelle
Yao again, isn't it? She's in. I thought she
was in it. Maybe not. Is she in it? Some rounds
have got headphones on, so I won't be able to
ask her. I think it might just be a different
lady. Whoops. How about it, Rob? You beep out
the bit where I assume that Michelle Yao is in
everything. I'm not going to say what I'm thinking
in my head. You better not, you prick. I read
this anyway. What does it matter? That's true.
Okay, right. Next one. They're not students.
Whoever they are, when Wilson finds them, he's
going to call the police. Who's Wilson? Chief
electrician. Wilson's dead. Oh, fuck. That's
an easy one. Oh, I know it. Why don't I know
it? Of course you know it. Oh, my brain's gone
blank. You know, this is your turn to make me
look like I'm not the sci -fi person. Oh, go
on, tell me. Right, Christopher Eccleston was
the man. Oh, God, it's Doctor Who. Doctor Who.
And that's Billy Piper. Billy Piper. Little chipmunk.
Yeah, Billy Piper, yeah. Billy Piper. Doctor
Who, arguably one of the best of all of the series,
the first one. Yeah, I still think Christopher
Eccleston's one of my favourite Doctors. Oh,
I'm going to get told off there. I just called
that the first one. Obviously the first of the
modern era. The first modern era Doctor Who,
yeah. This is my disruptor pistol. The one I
used to carry in the old days when I was serving
on that Ferengi freighter. I thought you were
the ship's cook. That's right. Every member of
that crew thought he was a food critic. Well,
that's obviously Star Wars and or... Yeah, that's
right. Correct. Winner. That is Star Trek. Deep
Space Nine. I left that clip really long. I knew
everyone who played the game would get it, but
I just liked the whole clip. So it was actually
quite difficult to edit this because it's such
a long clip. I do wonder if they've like, I don't
know what the origin of that joke or that script
came from. Have you heard of a film called Under
Siege? I have heard of it. It's Steven Seagal.
I think it's Steven Seagal. I think it is. Yeah.
And he plays the cook. But he's a military specialist
who is now a cook. It kind of gives that vibe,
doesn't it? All of his shit films are like that.
Yeah, it doesn't surprise me. By the way, as
it was April Fool's Day today, someone posted
up on the Star Trek forums. Star Trek has now
been bought by Disney. All official looking news
kind of front page. Oh my God, looking at the
shit people were losing. They ruined Star Wars.
They're going to ruin Star Trek. No offence,
everybody who fell for that joke. You really
think they're going to do worse than Paramount
have been doing? Okay, yeah, we all love Strange
New Worlds, but they're getting rid of everything.
And I like new Star Wars. Do you? Yeah, I like
the new one. I like Rogue One. I like the new
three. I know they're nothing like the others.
I don't think you've seen any of them. That was
my reaction. You know what? I think out of all
the Star Wars, other than the TV stuff, I haven't
seen episodes two and three. I've seen the original
three. I've seen episode one. I hated it so much
I avoided episode two and three. And then I loved
seven, eight, nine, and Rogue One. I thought
they were brilliant. Rogue One specifically,
really good. Took the wind out of my sails there.
You didn't like Phantom Menace. The best Star
Wars film out of all of the Star Wars films.
That is the best one. This is blasphemy on the
other side of this table. You should be shamed
and disgraced. And the Sith should be blamed
and disgraced for not just going and saying,
oh, let's just kill the kid. Boom, done. No Anakin.
No Luke. No problem with the Force later on.
Well, yeah, in hindsight, that would be a great
idea. Damn right. Next. And let's face it, we
could all blame Yoda. He should have said, yes,
you can train him. Yeah, pretty much. Dick. Nice
to be suddenly so highly regarded. So who did
you take off to get stuck with this detective?
No, I cut that off at a very particular moment
because he says the name of who he's talking
to and you would instantly get it. I know, I
know exactly. Oh, shit. I can even picture the
scene. And I don't know the name. I go blank
when it comes to these. X -Files. Oh, it is the
X -Files. That's Mulder, yeah, saying to Scully
as she walks in in the first episode, which,
yeah, it's brilliant. Oh, I love it. I love the
X -Files. We need to do an X -Files bit. I love
the X -Files. You have no recollection of the
incident. No, who shot me? Oh, that I've got
no idea on. That's Stargate SG -1. I haven't
watched enough of it. I enjoyed, I think I must
have seen most of season one when it first aired
on Channel 4, but that was a point that there
was so much on, I just didn't keep up with it.
Yeah, Miranda's over there. She's seen basically
every single episode. I think they're great.
I haven't seen loads of them, but everyone I
have seen I think is brilliant. I wanted to make
at least one of these difficult, so I purposely
found it. No, that's a great one to do. I mean,
that's Teal 'c, whose voice is extremely recognisable.
And then that's the Doctor, but I can never remember
his name. Whatever it is. He plays, Teal 'c's
an actor, which plays the role so well as well.
It's brilliant. Yeah, it was a great job. Potassium,
roommate! This supermarket is trying to kill
us! One of my favourite sci -fi series. Potassium.
Oh, sorry, everyone. No. Potassium bromate. No,
go for it. It's the fringe. Never seen it. Okay.
So for this. Okay. So hang on. Right. So that
is the voice of John Noble. He plays Dr. Walter
Bishop, which is in fringe. The whole thing is
kind of based around his son, really, who dies.
And he can't bear with the fact his son's died.
So he kind of over the course of the series,
over all of it, you find out that Walter went
to an alternate universe and took his son from
another universe and has him in this universe.
So his son that's in this universe is the alternate
universe's son. So the alternate universe, Walter
goes evil trying to find where his son's gone
because he knows it's from another dimension.
Very Rick and Morty. It's very cool. it's where
i got the mirror idea from in the show that is
literally how walter figures out there's another
universe he creates a window that he can look
in at the other laboratory of the other side
and he sees so i think in both it's either that
they both get ill and then one dies But they
both get ill in their universes. I think actually
they both get ill in their universes, but one
Walter cures the one and the other Walter doesn't.
It's something like that. And then something
happens in the lake where one gets saved. Like
I think this, anyway, I'm going to spoil too
much of it, but that's it. But he eventually
goes kind of insane. Nice. And they have to take
him out of an insane asylum. And this is when
he's been taken out and he's going around the
supermarket looking at the ingredients and stuff.
He's like, what the fuck has that been? What
is that? Great. Excuse me. So, would you like
to know who won? Yeah, go for it. Fucking no
one because no one entered. Oh, you bunch of...
Bastards. Pricks. That's very impressive. You've
made a friend. That's a 60 -foot HRM heavy construction
bot. Nothing friendly about it. So, Mr. TJ, what
have you been doing? Are we aiming for an hour
again? No. No, yeah, an hour. Sorry, not over
it. Let me just scrub half this list then. Okay,
let's start with gaming. I started Dead Space,
the remaster. Yes. I got scared 15 minutes in
and turned it off and deleted it. I forgot. I
played it on the original 360 and I played through
and I loved it. And I'm sure something has happened
to me because I decided I'm going to play it,
played it in the pitch black. In fact, no, I'll
tell you what happened. I've got a decent TV
and it's the remaster and I'm on my own. And
mummy and daddy are now at their house. They're
not in the same house as me. Yeah, you're the
daddy now. And that's why you're scared. I'm
the daddy. Yeah, basically, I started playing.
I thought I played through on easy the first
time I played through. So I said it to them.
I actually said it's a hard for some reason.
And oh, the jump scares. In fact, the first literally
five minutes of the game, you've got to go and
turn on some power and start looking for. um
the fuse for the subway system and the first
bit you do is you go along with these kind of
little kind of bridges and stuff you go up in
the elevator and of course to get in the room
you need to you've got to swap the power which
turns all the lights off of course it does yeah
and then everyone just started jumping out as
i'm killing one and then literally i just see
one suddenly coming out from behind me oh for
fuck's sake and it i couldn't i couldn't face
playing it it's just like i could play this on
easy and probably be a bit happier about this
and then i thought No, it's too much. I haven't
played the remaster yet. It looks gorgeous. Miranda
and I would take it in turns on the original
one. And the joke was I wanted the achievement
where we only used the plasma cutter. Yeah, I
wanted that so much back in the day. She would
spend the whole time shooting everything, missing
everything. And then when it was my turn, I spent
my whole turn collecting ammo. So I just had
to punch everything. Right. And it was always
like stamp on the body. Stomp, stomp, stomp.
Every single body you see, you stamp on it. You
killed it or not, you stamp on it. And I've taken
that. We've spoke about this before. I've taken
that to every game I play. Yeah. So to give you
an idea on difficulty settings, when you play
it on the lower level, it was two or three shots
of the plasma would take a limb off or the head
and that would be it down. And then you just
stomp on it. Yeah. at least eight shots just
to take a limb off on the level I was playing
on. Oh, okay. And that's just one limb, and it's
still coming at you. I think I'd just play it
on normal. Yeah, I might re -download. I mean,
the beauty of having Superfast Broadband, it
was downloaded in under 10 minutes and playable
inside of 10 minutes, so why not? Well, you just
tell it to go do it. I mean, it's on your Xbox,
right? This was on the PS5. Oh, on the PS5. Well,
I suppose you can do it from that as well. You
can just go in the app and tell it to download.
Exactly. Exactly. So it's not a problem. Now,
the other game I want to very quickly talk about
is one that is not quite out yet. And I've just
seen lots of videos for it. I've read up a lot
about it. Doom the Dark Ages. Now, I am a diehard
Doom 1 and Doom 2 fan. They were the first ever
first -person shooter game. In fact, they were
the first ever game that scared me. I loved it.
We had a family friend who had a... 486 through
work, and he'd installed Doom on it. And he said,
no, you can play on Doom while my parents had
dinner with him and his wife. And it's like,
I've got really addicted to playing Doom. I said,
this is amazing. I love it. And I've kept that
Doom 1 and 2 on one of my firm favorite games.
Then Doom 3 came out, and I wasn't particularly
blown away. I've gone back and played it again
since, and I appreciate what they did with it.
It's actually a very good game. Then we had Doom
2016. holy shit i loved that game it's incredible
it was fast it was frantic it had all the big
guns then we had doom eternal and it had suddenly
become this platformer melee what the fuck's
going on here couldn't get on with it didn't
like it so i don't want an adventure game i don't
want platforming i want doom i want the fast
hard just killing every fucking thing in sight
and then the dark ages we now have weird mech
suits the weapons are all very much melee based
weird medieval sort of weapons almost like heretic
and stuff from the heretic and hexan era of the
bloody gaming um and as much as it looks impressive
it's just like this isn't doom please just stop
don't use that franchise name just call it its
own game because it'll be awesome yeah i just
yeah that was all that was my only thoughts on
it i just It's not Doom for me anymore. Doom
2016 was just about Doom, but they could have
done that as its own franchise and then done
all of them as their own franchise. I'd accept
it more. So there was that. Coming to TV, and
I say, I'm going to keep this up. Bill and Ted's
Excellent Adventure with Kay. She enjoyed it.
I've got a bonus episode going up, if the recording's
good enough, where she reviews it. That's wicked.
And I just love it. It's such a good time travel
film. A lot of fun. It doesn't pay much attention
to the science of it, which is what you want.
You just want something stupid and fun. It does
it brilliantly. You don't care how they can fill
those people in a phone box. No. No one cares.
Or the fact they're riding through the space
-time continuum with just everyone kind of stood
up with the doors open looking around them while
they're going through. It's just perfect. It's
stupid fun. Yeah. I've been watching a load of
YouTube. There's two YouTubers I love. Lazy Games
Reviews, LGR. Very cool. Looks a lot of old retro
tech, a lot of old games, a lot of oddware, he
calls it. So really odd PC accessories and stuff
like that. And Angry Video Game Nerd, if you
know that one, which is James Rolfe from Cinemassacre.
You've spoke about it before. Just very rude
game reviews of terrible games. And I can always
go back to those two and just watch them over
and over again. The main thing I've watched though,
and I've kind of binge watched it, and I want
to talk to you very quickly about how you feel
about this sort of thing as well. I've started
watching Severance on Apple TV. Yep. It's weird.
Right. It's really fucking weird. And in fact,
I stopped two thirds of the way through the first
episode and thought, probably won't go back to
this. And then couldn't get it off my mind. So
I ended up going back and I've binge watched
like six or seven episodes of it now. Really,
really fucking good. I still can't place my finger
on why it's really good. It's a really weird
premise. So it's set in kind of the current time
and the company Lumon has invented a chip that
they can implant in your brain. And if you're
willing to do it, you have this chip implanted
into your brain and it means when you're at work,
that's all you know. You don't know anything
about your outside life. You don't know if you're
married. You don't know where you live. And literally,
every day is just it's a non -stop day you go
to the elevator and then literally like as soon
as the doors close and you're looking at the
elevator doors when they open again you're going
back to work but you feel rested you feel like
because you then go to your outside life and
your outside life has no idea what goes on in
the building right so they call it being severed
so that's the idea several so you completely
sever your two lives so you've got this inside
work life So all the stuff that happens inside
work is inside work. But as soon as you're at
home, you've got no idea what happened at work.
If you've injured yourself, you get kind of a
letter on your car saying, you fell over today
at work. We're sorry about that. And here's like
a voucher for a meal to compensate for you. So
you could be at work and like absolutely hating
someone you work with. And then when your personal
life, they're your wife. Pretty much. You know
what I mean? So it could be that massive. pretty
much and they're trying to work out what they're
doing so it's even down to the fact they've all
got these old -fashioned looking computers and
they're the main department in it's looking at
data and all the data is these giant giant grids
of numbers one through to zero so one two three
four five six seven eight nine zero and basically
that's they're calling it's encrypted data that
even they don't know what the data is they're
mining but the data when you're looking at it
instills emotion. So they might be looking at
these numbers and like the number seven, all
of a sudden they're looking at it. And anytime
they see that number, they suddenly feel really
miserable or depressed. So then they'll ring
fence that bit of data until they no longer feel
like that. And then that goes off and gets processed
by someone else. So they never even know what
the data is they're dealing. So they don't know
what the data is. It could be birth rates. It
could be some horrendous science experiment.
It's really, it's dark and it's clever. i i can't
get my head around it like you could you could
have like i'm just thinking of a relationship
with people perspective you could like have a
completely different work relationship imagine
with someone then you do outside of work you
live here you go to work when you're at work
you have no idea that miranda exists t exists
you don't know where you live what your house
is you don't even know that you can drive you
don't know any of that all you know Is what goes
on at work. What if you have to finish early
because of something? Then as soon as you leave,
you remember everything. Yeah, but when you get
into work, you now don't remember you have to
finish early. So I think there's a check -in
system and stuff like that. So obviously it's
probably a calendar or something saying your
work ends today sort of thing. Yeah. Is it the
one with the Macaulay Culkin's brother? Oh, is
it? I don't know. It's Andy Scott, I want to
say the main character is, who's been in a few
things. I'm just looking it up now. Adam Scott,
sorry. Adam Scott, Britt Lauer, Zach Cherry.
I'm not seeing Culkin on here. Christopher Walken's
in it. Oh, okay. Playing basically Christopher
Walken. And this is Apple TV? I don't have it.
It's Apple TV. I'll show you a couple of episodes
next time you're over. Adam Scott is the main
character. He was in Parks and Recreation, Party
Down, Step Brothers, Madame Web. Yeah, I know
who he is. Madame Web. Fucking hell. So, yeah.
No, the question I wanted to ask you is, how
do you judge whether you're going to carry on
watching something? Because I've got to this
point now in life that when I'm looking at a
show, I base it on, can I be bothered to finish
the series? So Resident Alien, prime example.
I started watching it. I had to finish the series.
Yet there's been shows that I've watched or even
films where I've gone halfway through or watched
half the episodes and thought, oh, okay, I'll
catch up on that the next time I feel like it.
And then I've never gone back because I just
couldn't be bothered. Yeah, I mean. I don't get
that much time to watch something on my own.
Yeah, fair enough. So like Resident Alien, I
mean, I would have mentioned it on mine, but
I've started watching that too, which I'm having
on in the background at work and I'm really enjoying.
There is one on Apple TV that we kind of started
a really big sci -fi epic thing series that's
on there. The name of it has just gone from my
mind. I would set you up a profile of mine and
just sign your TV. That was quite good, but we
never finished an episode. But it was really
long, and it was quite dune -y in that it's a
slow -moving one. And I would love to go back
to it, but again, I'll be watching on my own.
Really, I'll watch an episode. I'll always finish
an episode at some point. I'll get through the
first episode, and that really does tell me.
Because the pilots are normally like... the best
ones for a few episodes normally, aren't they?
Because they want to draw you in or at least
give you threads to lead you on to next ones.
You say that, would I have watched as much Star
Trek The Next Generation if the first episode
I'd seen was Encounter at Filepoint with weird
jellyfish space creatures? Well, I don't know
about the old stuff, like the older TV shows.
No, I know what you're saying. Sometimes pilots
can be like... Yeah, nowadays... i kind of i
mean all right here's the reason wheel of time
well i'm so into wheel of time now and i didn't
give that the time of day i think i watched part
of the first episode when miranda started watching
i was like this is shit and i was like this is
just girl stuff oh robert yeah really after one
but i think realistically you need to give them
two or three yeah fair enough to get a good idea
but also at the same time if you're not enjoying
it by the end of the second one why bother because
it's like two hours of your life just you could
be watching something else that you do like yeah
i mean resident evil resident evil resident alien
is quite a prime example the first episode's
okay it's enjoyable but until you've seen two
or three and actually get the whole mechanic
of what's meant to be and that it's not just
purely a comedy show that's when you realize
this is really good yeah Big American here. I'm
stunned that you would think I'm harboring robots.
In fact, I would go so far as to say I'm shocked.
So, Rob, what have you been watching or playing
or doing? Resident Alien. You've got five minutes.
Resident Alien, yeah. I just wanted to move to
the next section, but we can still talk about
Resident Alien. So I was into that. pretty quickly
because there was a couple of jokes so i laughed
out loud and i i wanted to keep it a secret so
you didn't know i'd watched it because i was
going to wait till now too but i had to text
you going this is really funny this the sniffing
the girl yeah it was the sniffing of the girl
and being like oh yeah she's been dead for seven
days or seven hours seven hours and so then she
goes huh is this alive i don't know what that
just really tickled me that little scene He plays
it so well. Oh, Alan Tudyk is just, he is a legend.
He needs to be looked after and protected at
all costs. I'm guessing he's under the costume
too. I presume so. Yeah. I presume so. Yeah,
you and Karen did say that it was a great series.
And yeah, it really is a good series. Before
he makes, how many episodes in are you? I think
I have three or four. I've called a bit already
and I was right straight away. Oh, okay, fine.
So I won't say too much, but you've got to the
point where he's trying to kill the boy still.
Oh, he's still trying to kill the boy, yeah.
And the boy's got a little mate with him now.
Yeah. And she's like, they just got zapped by
a floating apple. That's it, yeah. So they've
broken into his... Yeah, I'm kind of... Oh, and
he's, yeah, he's... Yeah, that's kind of really
where I am. And now there's like another couple
who have got involved. There must be FBI. There's
some kind of agency. trying to find him they
say no there's an alien so they just come into
it this isn't spoiling it but i think she's an
alien sarah connor turns up oh sweet as her no
just as the actor the actress sorry yeah so okay
everyone who wants to watch this don't listen
for a few minutes i called immediately that girl
being her daughter yeah i instantly Yeah, I got
exactly the same idea on that. But this is what
I was saying just in that previous section. People
just assume Resident Evil is just going to be
this straight up laugh out comedy. It's probably
going to be stupid. Yes, it's got stupid moments.
But then we've also got this entire story arc,
which turns out she was a teenage pregnancy.
She gave her daughter away. So this entire emotional
story as well, that's not funny in the slightest,
but it works so well. The thing about it is they
could have easily... gone wimpy on it which in
some cases i almost kind of wanted them to do
because i because i like him so much i don't
want him to be a baddie he is a baddie yes he's
killed someone to become who he is he's trying
to kill a kid he's trying to kill a child and
he's happy to attempt to murder other people
because he's just like yes so what oh i love
the bit as well he's like his wife's just in
my planet i could do this job easily no so i
need to do this procedure Oh, he gets thrown
into the smear test instead. He's taking pictures
of her. He's like, did you just take a picture?
Yes, my first patient selfie. And then they pose
with him. Yeah, there's a lot of easygoing ladies
in that town, isn't there? Yeah, the bar own.
Yeah, she's funny. I'm not going to spoil it
for you, but it... It's just this brilliant dynamic
between all of them soon. Yeah, I'll probably
watch some more later in the week. Excuse me.
Yeah, more Wheel of Time with the new season
two. Really enjoying it. Season two, it took
a lot longer to get into. It was very much the
first three episodes or maybe even four episodes.
I was a bit like, here we go. Lots of exposition,
lots of talking. Not very good stuff either.
And then it got good. okay then the cool stuff
happened which season one was kind of cool stuff
all the way through other than right the beginning
of episode one i would say um yeah so that's
what i've been doing uh you saw when you turned
up started the atom fall game just have a go
i'm not classing it as one of my need to complete
games i've just been interested in seeing it
so i'm just having a little go with it i'll never
finish that It'll be hours and hours and hours.
You never know. You might do. Maybe. You might
do. Maybe, but I don't think so. What else? I
think that might be it, unless I'm drastically
forgetting something. Just, I did forget something.
I did finally finish Chernobyl. After binge watching
three episodes and then having nightmares, literally
had nightmares that night about it. It's like,
wow, that didn't realize it would affect me that
much. Got through the last two episodes. nearly
in tears by the end of it such a horrible story
yeah and deep and dark and oh jesus and the fact
that the ussr oh sorry russia still claim only
37 people died even to this fucking day grow
up russia just incredible to think that it's
all based on true yeah 100 i like what they did
uh have you watched it So I like the fact that
the female scientists they have helping the lead
physicist in it was basically a stand -in for
all the scientists that were actually involved.
And it kind of makes sense to keep the story
going and make it interesting. You can't just
have that many actors doing it. It's all the
classic kind of things, as if you were making
a film from a book. It's the same thing. You
can't have all of that in there. It just doesn't
work for a screen. Exactly. So I felt they did
the story justice. I really do. Very quickly,
did you ever used to watch Estenders? Yeah, a
long time ago. Do you remember Little Moe's Trevor?
Yeah, I remember Trevor. He's in Chernobyl. I
think I do remember that, actually. He's the
fat lead coal miner. Yes, I did know that. I
couldn't believe it. It's like, wow, you look
very different now. He's got an iron imprint
on his head. He looks very different now. Yeah.
To avoid any unwarranted violence. I would as
well, and so would my mute sister here, Veronica.
We can assure you there are receipts for each
of these unique items. Happy to drum those up
for you. Michelle Leona Green, you're under arrest
for malicious assault. Grand Theft Auto, truancy,
and abetting an enemy of the state. Oh, my crap.
I want a lawyer. You can speak? Right. Are we
going to be talking about something else? Sorry.
Yeah, now we need to actually get into what we're
here for. Ah. Nonswatch. Was there Nonswatch
in Electric State? No, there wasn't. I don't
know. Unless Mr. Peanut's been doing things that
we aren't aware of. Yeah, unaware. We have not
spoken about this. I did not want to say what
I thought about it at all. No, no, no, absolutely.
We're going in dry. It's not dry anymore. I'll
say what I thought. I really enjoyed it. Okay.
What do you think? Just say you liked it or not.
Loved it. Yeah, I'm so glad. I think all the
reviewers that bad -mouthed it, they just basically
don't either like Millie Bobby Brown or Chris
Pat, which I can understand. But the film itself
just stands on its own leg. Brilliant. We'll
say it a bit later. There's literally two moments
I did not like. They're right at the end. And
it's when both of them get their own monologues.
I thought Chris Pratt's one was shit. He cannot
do a motion. It was not even remotely funny.
Oh, hang on. Which bit are you talking about?
When his little robot friend comes out of the
other robot when you didn't know there was another
robot. I've literally, the note I've written
here is, if I get it open in time. Because he
has some really funny little one -liners, Chris
Pratt. Chris Pratt, least believable sad scene.
Him trying to be sad. More than friends. It was
awful. It was, there is no emotion in this. What
the fuck? I like how we both said we love this
and we instantly saying what we didn't like.
Is this the only take you did of this? Because
seriously, he could have done that so much better.
This is just atrocious. I just wouldn't have
had it. Just would not have. I mean, I knew there
was a little robot in there. I mean, I saw that
in my mind. I knew he wasn't going to be dead.
But it was still going to be fun. The fact that
they'd already said, I've got to go to power
saving. Not, I'm dying. I'm just going to power
saving. I think they could have just had Chris
there just kind of kneel down and just say, I
love you. and i think that would have been all
right it didn't have to be a funny scene and
then the guy could have the little robot could
have come out and just been like you love me
that would have been funny uh and then the same
love me millie has a similar kind of monologue
-esque bit at the end i didn't like that either
oh i didn't mind that so much i thought actually
it's a little bit poignant and the idea is that
they're trying to unify everyone again and The
idea that she's talking about the whole Pascal's
thing meeting is because her brother said it
at the very beginning. So it kind of ties the
beginning to the end with her. I didn't mind
that as much. For me, the worst bit is the Chris
Pratt bit. Yeah, that's the worst bit. That is
the worst bit. The Millie Bobby Brown monologue,
I didn't mind at all. But at least that is only
like a 10 second bit. All the rest of it, Chris
Pratt is actually very good in it. Very funny
little one -liners he has. Millie is brilliant.
Yeah, absolutely. In the entire thing. I don't
know why people don't like her. No, I don't.
I think she's actually really good in everything
I've seen her in. And in this, she's very good
at doing emotional scenes. You know what it is?
She does not have the standard Hollywood look.
And that's why people don't like her. Yeah. She's
got, and I'm not meaning to be offensive here.
And please don't take it that way. She's got
a large mouth, which doesn't fit to the size
of her face. I know it sounds really mean saying
that, but you know what I mean though, don't
you? She doesn't have the typical Hollywood beautiful
look. And I think a lot of people expected you've
got Chris Pratt, so you're going to have someone
like Jennifer Lawrence, or you should have someone
who we can sit with. Don't forget Chris Pratt,
whether you like the bloke or not, based on some
of the stuff he said, I'm more erring towards
the stuff I don't like about him anymore. he's
still considered one of the best -looking bloke
that women basically wet their seats for. That
sounds good. I just took a sip of cold tea when
you said that. He is no Jack Reacher for us.
Oh, no, he is no Jack Reacher. He is no Alan
Richson, okay? But a lot of people think that
he is for them. Fine. So I kind of, I get, I
think a lot of it is down to look. And I think
that's really unfair because she can act brilliantly
and she acts brilliantly throughout this. Yeah,
they need to peel themselves off the leather
sofas. Yeah, I think she's great. I can't say
I've noticed how big her mouth is. You will look
at her now and you'll go, oh, I see what he means.
She's quite young. Does feel a bit non -Swatchy.
I can't say I've ever really taken any notice
of what she looks like. That may sound like I'm
being insincere, but I haven't. No, but that's
good because you're concentrating more on the
character she's portraying. I'm just looking
at it under a magnifying glass. Why may people
not like this? And I genuinely think a lot of
it, especially when you consider the criticism.
Matt Lucas as well recently said something fairly
nasty about how she looked. I know he's apologised,
but that's purely backpedalling because of the
hatred he's then suddenly getting. Sorry, but
you're going to say something like that and you're
a public figure. Get over yourself. I don't know
why he would chime in. No, I know, bald git,
but there you go. Either way, can I just, I want
us all to stand in memoriam for Taco Bot. Because
you know what? Taco Bot was one of my favourite
characters and the entire thing. My favourite
character was Perplexo. I think Memoriam for
Perplexo. Oh, I don't know. All of the bot characters.
The haircut one, yeah. Hair? Hair? And then Chris
does get his haircut. And it looks fucking dreadful.
And he's like, and he's like, but he finally
goes, I hate it. You guilt trip me. I hate it.
It's such a lovely moment. Yeah. penny saver
or whatever her name is penny the post bot post
bot yeah just again wonderful and i absolutely
love um what which one's perplexo perplexo is
the one he's the magician who has that was inside
a curtain the doctor's robot the computer the
computer windows 3 .1 screen yeah she's hiding
inside it boom happy days but his character again
brilliant it's like I've got no way of taking
them on. Looks at the axe. Kill all humans! It's
like, yes! There's a great scene with this. Imagine
an old Retro's Windows 95 PC on top of a desk.
And that is the entire robot, the desk as well.
Like a chest of drawers almost, like little cupboards.
You'd get in an office with all your stationery
inside. And I'm saying you've seen it. And they
have to hide. So he instantly just compacts himself.
And Millie's inside him. She opens the door,
she's like, you're so much smaller on the inside.
And again. You looked bigger on the outside.
Great Doctor Who had a piss tape reference. Exactly,
I thought Doctor Who. There were so many bits
like that. What I would say is, Matt, the point
of Cthulhu said about. This being based on that
graphic novel. I had no idea. It's based on a
graphic novel, and I think it's not even a graphic
novel. Technically, it's more a collection of
artwork. Yeah. Apparently, also, there's some
tabletop games that are also very good on it.
Oh, okay. I don't know. So I went and looked
at them. Oh, they look amazing. Yeah. But also,
that kind of made me feel... And they did kind
of put them in. They had some in there, I think,
to make it a slightly more... Maybe family friendly.
I know it's not quite family friendly. I think
it's probably a 12, isn't it? It's a 12, I think.
Yeah, it's not quite family, family friendly,
but to make it more friendly to everyone, I think
they haven't included, because some of the artwork
is quite disturbing. If you look at the original
artwork. Some of them are, yeah. So you kind
of get the idea that maybe they chose to limit
it because they wanted to make sure the entire
audience enjoyed it or had a chance to enjoy
it. and yeah the war machines i mean we spoke
about it in the last episode showing you the
picture of it when you see the pictures of the
war machines that were in the original oh they
are so cool they look just such the part and
they would have been lovely to see them in this
but if they existed in this the final battle
would have been crap yeah i was i was thinking
about it when i the next day after watching i
think i'd love to have seen this either much
longer or like three like long form episodes
and having really long drawn out exposition of
scenes like the images of having these backdrops
of or having them travel not much happening yeah
like i like major like a dune s kind of as city
would say a thinking man's sci -fi equals those
ones like something like that i would love to
see a version of this like that i still love
this love the comedy parts of it loved how it
looked or the cgi was brilliant so much about
it i've got this on my list thankfully netflix
aren't like disney and marvel and that side of
things because the cgi to this was beautiful
it was so well integrated yeah there were very
few if any that i can think of spots that i thought
that looks a little bit ropey it just looked
magnificent well i don't think they ever come
out and say when things are coming out You just
eventually get a trailer. It suddenly appears.
So you don't know how long they've worked on
it for, do you? Yeah, and I think that's probably
the best way of doing it. 100%. Now, talking
about the design while we're talking about the
CGI, wow, it was a clever idea what they did
with this. So they made it modern day. Well,
they didn't. It's meant to be in the past. It's
meant to be like 90s. 94. And they were just
so clever with it. So many things we get, oh,
well, it's meant to be the 90s, but... everything
still feels way or super modern yeah so the fact
that all the casters that they're wearing they're
basically wearing vr headsets they call neurocasters
neurocasters they're wearing basically vr headsets
now in our era that's really easy that's two
lcd panels in front of your eyes in 94 We had
CRTs. So everything had these CRTs, which means
they've got these super long kind of eye bits
because they've got to have the whole CRT assembly
in there. And then all of the bots have a little
CRT screen with their face on, which means their
heads are really long and elongated. And it's
just really nice. Everything felt as modern and
futuristic as it was meant to, but it also felt
like, my God, it is the 90s because all this
future technology. is using technology from the
90s to build it yeah really clever really well
thought out so let's just very quickly summarize
the plot um millie her brother her brother is
like some super genius i think there's a kind
of implication he's autistic You know what I
mean? Yeah. There's a slight implication there's
that going on, I think. It could be that or it
could be, I think it's left for you to think,
is it going to be down that route? Is it going
to be down the route that he's just a socially
inept because he's a geek? Either way, hyper
intelligent. Yes. And it's us, he's doing the
exam. Stuff happens, as I like to say, stuff
happens. We're now in the future. And suddenly
Millie's in care. Yeah. trying to get an alarm
bracelet off her ankle, ankle, whatever you want
to call it. Yeah. With the guy from Seinfeld.
Yes. And it actually turns out that her parents
and him died in a car crash. She was the only
survivor. Well, she thought they all died. Turns
out the brother didn't. And the brother's brain
is basically being used to run this whole neural
network. Yeah. And it's interesting because...
And I think, is it during this time as well,
that's when the robot war was or was the robot
war before he's done that? I can't remember when
the robot war was meant to have happened. I think
it kind of happens at the same time. Yeah, so
we get the idea that this big robot war has then
happened and the robots have been excluded because
they basically started standing up for themselves
going, we are the sum of what we are. We want
to start doing things we want to do. It's interesting
because he... I don't know if you picked up on
it. He says about being in two places at once,
doesn't he? The kid says beforehand, he makes
some comment to her about being in two places
at once. Well, that's the point. And then very
soon after, you see the advert that that guy's
made about spitting the brain and being in two
places at once. And right then I was like, the
boy's got something to do with this. But I don't
know. I didn't think at any point it was going
to be his consciousness running the system. But
I was like, I wonder if... They've stolen his
idea or he came up with it. It's kind of what
more I was thinking. Absolutely. And then, yeah,
a robot turns up at her house. So Cosmo the robot.
Cosmo the robot. A robot based on a TV cartoon
her brother used to watch. And actually her brother's
consciousness is inside it and he's trying to
tell her. He can't speak. He can only use the
catchphrases that are built into the robot and
try to explain to her how to find. the doctor
who's told her that he was dead and then that
doctor supposedly can help him correct now that's
the premise of the film there are two well there's
an actor and actress listed for cosmo now i don't
think it's listed one for motion cap and one
for the voice i think what they're talking about
is the voice of cosmo as the robot and the voice
of cosmo for the tv show okay do you know who
one of them is no alan tudyk Of course it is.
Of course it is. He's in everything. He must
have a big house. I think he just likes doing
voices. Well, yeah, why not? So yeah, he is one
of the Cosmos apparently. But anyway, yeah, so
Cosmo turns up, they break out, they know where
to go because he's like, yeah, my guardian or
whatever he is. Was it uncle or something? It's
uncle, isn't it? I don't know. If he is related.
I can't remember what it is, but yeah. No, you're
right. The state guardian is basically getting
illegal goods from the exclusion zone. So she
finds where Chris Press is. Yep. And Herm, who
is such a great design. Yeah. I love the little
LCD face they've got. Got a light up LED. Oh,
it's just wonderful. But the character's good
as well. Yeah. He's a bit of a badass, isn't
he? And they've got this monster cave full of
all stuff they've stolen from the exclusion zone.
And again, it's all Star Wars. I'm looking at
it going, oh, I love all of this. I remember
that. I want that. Yeah. And then Chicken Man
turns up. Chicken Man. Anyone who's seen Breaking
Bad. Yeah. Yeah. Chicken Man. So the guy, there's
the Chicken Man plays like the butcher. I think
they call him. They call him the butcher. He's
like the leader of the. human military force
at the time of winning the war right so during
the robot uprising he was he was a he was a general
i thought he was the general he was something
like he was a general but he got the name butcher
for the number of robots he killed in service
and it seems that he's now a mercenary for hire
when looking for rogue children apparently because
he's after millie bobby brown in this yeah to
start with But he'll only kill robots. Yes. And
that's a very specific character point which
comes in later where he feels betrayed by the
baddie. Who would have thought the baddie's betraying
someone? So plot hole number one appears around
now. I'm sure there's probably others, but I've
ignored them. They get the gun out of his hand.
They crush him basically with the wall at some
point. Nobody thinks about... While we're running,
let's pick up his super duper awesome, powerful
gun that seems to destroy anything in its way.
Yep, happens a couple of times. He drops that
gun. No one ever picks it up. They even pan the
camera to it. They make a point of it being there
and no one getting it. And it's on IMDb. It's
one of the first things on there that says, why
don't they pick the gun up? I could have ended
it. there and then i know it basically is but
it stops progression of the story so what you
then do is do you say that the butcher has more
than one robot suit and then you just keep he
keeps sending them in or and i actually think
i like the fact they didn't do that is his battle
scarred suit that he has is the one that he's
just carried on from the war and he's just carrying
on in that suit and you kind of get the idea
when that suit dies he's going to stop doing
what he's doing I guess from their perspective,
it's like, do we run and get the gun or do we
just leg it? They just leg it. True. I think
that because the camera made a point of showing
he dropped his gun, just cut that. Just cut that
bit. You don't need to know where his gun's gone.
He's dropped it or it's in his hand. He's a robot.
He probably wouldn't have dropped it when he
got hit by a rock. Why would he react in that
way? Exactly. I think he puts his hands up to
protect himself, doesn't he? I don't really remember.
No. Exactly it was. It's a very frantic scene.
Oh, I know. It's because the other crane's coming
down. So he's putting his hands up to stop the
crane. That's it. I think a more realistic thing
is the gun only works in a robot's hands. I was
going to say that was going to be more like it's
like. Like under human's hands. Yeah. And you
never know. Director's cut. That might have been
a scene is I wouldn't pick that up if you don't.
I think it's. Electric shock or something. Yeah.
I've gone. What? I don't think it's robo. Oh,
Judge Dredd. As much of a terrible film as it
is, the gun of a judge can only be used by a
judge and they're genetically encoded. So I think
that's probably the idea that they were aiming
for. Yeah, I think so. That's exactly what I
was thinking. It's going to be something that
they can't grab it. I just don't think they needed
to pan to it at all. No. Just don't have that.
Who cares? They're not going to go for it anyway.
And it's great. They're getting these little
mine carts, don't they? And trying to escape.
And it's literally 10 yards. Instantly blown
up. And I was like, I wasn't expecting that.
I thought, yeah, they were going to escape and
they don't. And it's quite funny. Yeah. And it's
just lovely. Right. Get in the mine cart. Get
in the mine. It's literally 10 yards. Yeah. So
they literally are just getting in it because
it's fun. Yeah. And you think like, it's actually
pretty realistic that they wouldn't have made
it. That is actually quite a touch. Yeah. But
his gun was fucking brilliant. Like it had some
kind of gravity well when he shot and it just
pushed everything out of the way. I was like,
that is a powerful gun. A lot of the guns in
this were very cool actually. I like the fact
that they aren't just firing bullets. They are
particle weapon almost. I'm wondering if it's
a rail gun and where it's doing that, it is a
shockwave going with it. Possibly. That would
make sense. Not that I know much about. weaponry
and rail guns but i imagine that's how it would
have worked uh yeah but really just there's so
many great bits uh i we then get the giant herm
so continuing which is like recapping the story
i guess sorry yeah we then get the giant herm
turn up which is just again really clever that
they've got this little construction robot who's
got a giant construction robot you can get in
and just do bigger tasks yeah uh so he gets in
that they go to where the peanut is because they're
told that's where the doctor is they find all
of the old robots from the war that have survived
still led by mr peanut yep and peanut in the
peanut car yeah and they kind of extend the story
by saying that we're not going to help you we
you need to leave we don't like humans blah blah
blah but they kind of start to feel a little
bit emotional because cosmo then starts playing
the cartoon and they all kind of gather in and
they realize that they've got this weird unified
bond going on um so then yeah peanut goes oh
well i'll come with you blah blah blah and they
go off to the theme park isn't it yeah where
they find the doctor um for the scabs yeah to
the bad robots yeah oh forgot all about the scabs
yeah which i thought would have got a bigger
role in it i would have thought they were going
to turn up at the end and maybe like kind of
using south park get behind the darkies get behind
the scabs send all of them in first and then
the other rope you know they could have used
them as like i don't know it's kind of cannon
fodder yeah there's like a scab king they don't
seem to kind of nothing seems to happen with
them they're just kind of forgotten about so
yeah they don't you don't seem to get like they're
fighting them before they go into the uh the
doctor's house yeah into the ghost house and
then when they get out they're not there Yeah,
so it feels a little bit like you could have
used them a bit more. There could have been a
bit more story involving them. The scavengers
are just robots that are building themselves
from bits of other robots. So not nice. But yeah,
there's not much of them in the story, which
is a shame. And obviously then we get the doctor.
The doctor dies. The bad guy sends in a load
of drones who captures Cosmo. They then raise
the... bot haven to the ground killing load of
the bots yeah which was a very sad moment it
is a really sad moment because you they managed
to impart emotion on these bots beautifully yeah
and you really get kind of the feelings that
oh god this is horrible and yeah perplexo's gone
yes and they closed the curtain on him for the
last time it's pretty brutal um and then yeah
that kind of leads into chris pratt haircut and
then them going for the fight. Now, the big robot
that he gets into. With the slightly smaller
robot with the small robot. Yeah. I love it.
Do you remember exactly what it's called? I wrote
it down. Is it an HR -60? It's a HRM heavy construction
bot, but it's 60 foot tall. So, yeah, it's a
60. Yes, they called it 60 foot HRM heavy construction
bot. Yep. I love the fact that they, again, music
choice for this film. Brilliant. Yeah. And they're
blasting out Judas Priest breaking the law as
he lobs a car into the building. Yeah. And then
middle fingers. It's like, yes. At one point,
he chucks a Porsche, doesn't he? He gets wedged
in. It got stuck in. It got stuck. And then when,
I love the fact that then literally two minutes
later, Millie, the computer bot, are running
into the building and the Porsche. suddenly lands
next to him. So he's now fallen out. Yeah. Yeah,
it's good, isn't it? And then they're running
away from all the bots that are being sent after
us. Are they following us? Yeah, they're following
us. Yeah. I'm really glad you liked it too. I
was almost concerned that you were going to not
like it. No. I don't know why. I really enjoyed
it. The final scene is well worth the build up.
Obviously, do you recognize the actor that's
playing the bad guy Skate? Yes. Stanley Tookie,
who is... whatever his name is from the hunger
games yeah he's in lots of stuff he's also funnily
enough i didn't even realize he's merlin in that
terrible transformers film that i was watching
oh is he yeah he's in loads of stuff but he was
again he was brilliant um you can't help but
kind of look at him and he was just how it's
how he is and um yeah just really good he does
say one shit line it's like a a burning tire
fire and a river of piss or something he says.
I was like... Yeah, that's what the world is
to him. He's like... Yeah, I just thought that
was a bit shit. Yeah. I didn't really get that.
But yeah, that was the only kind of moment for
him I didn't like. He's an evil dude. Yeah. He's
evil. I mean, there's the two bits that I've
missed. I do want to say completely what the
ending is for everyone and ruin it for them if
they haven't watched it, but also the butcher.
We've forgotten all about him in this final battle.
Well, I think everyone knows it's real bad spoilers
for the end here, everybody. This will ruin the
film for you. So yeah, the butcher feels betrayed
because he didn't realize that the boy was actually
there. He thought he was just delivering a robot.
He had no idea how the boy's conscience in it.
And then he has a face off with Mr. Peanut and
actually lets Peanut go. Yeah. So basically he
realizes these bots have more humanity than the
person he's just met. He says, he literally says
it. So he's like, ah, and then just shuts down.
Yeah. Just turns his thing off and that's it.
And then the only way to save everybody is poor
Millie has to basically turn the life support
off of her brother. Yeah, so her brother. So
sad, really, isn't it? But you know what? I am
so glad Netflix had the bollocks to do that.
Because I've spoken about this before and I've
said it many times. Films do not need to have
a totally happy ending. But the very end. There's
a five second clip where the Cosmobot is in a
junkyard and then you see his reflection in a
puddle. So has some of her brother escaped? Has
the brother escaped in some way? I do wonder
if we're going to get a sequel. But what would
they do with the sequel though? I hope they don't.
I hope they don't. I wish they didn't have that
little bit at the end. I would have rather just
left it with the robot just junked. yeah and
that would just been i wouldn't have even had
that i wouldn't have even had that i wouldn't
have even had any of that junk scene if you're
not going to include the bit with the reflection
you do not have the bit in the junk scene because
that is just going to again it opens people up
as why are we seeing this the final scene whenever
you get a final scene and it's zooming in on
something especially if it's in a scrap pile
it's going to be that's going to come back to
life isn't it or The eyes are suddenly going
to turn on and then it's going to go to a black
and it's going to be the title screen. And that's
exactly what they've done here. It's just like
suddenly we see the reflection of it alive. And
now everyone's going to be saying, is there going
to be a sequel? There's just no need for it.
I think it's almost, it's an inception ending
where the dreidel never falls. Yeah. But it's,
you don't, it looks like it's going to fall,
but it never does. So you're left thinking, is
he in? is he in like inception or is he not and
that's what they could have done there if they
were going to have that scene at all just have
the robot in the junkyard and nothing happened
just cut yeah no lights no noise no just a robot
getting dumped maybe dump some more on it cut
having said that this could work as long as they
don't do a sequel that is and i won't mind it
as much if they definitely don't do a sequel
if netflix suddenly say we are working on one
i'm going to be very upset and say that this
definitely didn't work, then just don't do it.
But there are films where it has happened, and
they haven't done a sequel, and it's been fine.
Chappie. Now, Chappie came to mind straight away.
You haven't seen it? Okay. The design of the
robots and the drones, very, very, very similar
to Chappie. Now, do you want me to ruin Chappie
for you? Go for it. I'll watch it. So the very
end of Chappie. So basically, Chappie is the
modern Short Circuit. He's come alive. He's suddenly
spawned consciousness. Tom Hanks, right? No,
no, no, that's... We're all thinking about Finch.
Oh. Chappie is a fair few years old now. I have
seen this. It's with the guy... Slumdog Millionaire
bloke, I think it was, wasn't it? No, I'm not
thinking of it. I thought it had the Scottish
dude in it. Who's in... It's got Wolverine in
it. Maybe I definitely haven't seen it. I don't
know. Let me show you a picture. That's chappy.
I'm looking at that thinking I have seen it,
but I didn't realize Hugh Jackman was in it.
So it's got Dev Patel, who was, yeah, definitely
Slumdog Millionaire. I'm glad I got that one
right. It's got Hugh Jackman, Sigourney Weaver,
Ninja, Yolandi Visser. It's all set in South
Africa. It's a bit almost similar to kind of...
District 9. I was thinking Gerald Butler. No.
Anyway, so what happens at the end of Chappie
is Chappie's alive. His creator's just been potentially
killed. But what Chappie's worked out and built
is the way to transfer someone's conscious into
one of his machines, into one of these bots.
So he saves his creator by putting him in a bot.
And the very end of it is them both running away
into the distance. with his creator going shit
i'm a robot and then it ends and there's no sequel
there's nothing they could have easily done a
sequel based on that ending but they haven't
yeah and that's if it okay electric state's chosen
to do this route and we've got this bot come
up and we've got to reflect just leave it to
our own minds now okay i don't like the ending
i don't like they've done it but as long as they
just leave it for us to think about what could
happen rather than going and doing a sequel i'm
fine with that Yeah, I just don't know what plot
point they would be. The baddie's been defeated.
The robots are going to be joining everybody
and they're all going to be happy families. And
that's it. I don't know where the story is for
another time. It will be the reintegration of
the robots into society. Everything will be wonderful
and Center will get reset up. Or there'll be
some sentient part of Center that was being worked
on. In case the boy failed and a scientist has
carried on working on it and it's an AI. That's
what it'll be. It'll be an AI -based thing. And
it'll be shit. There's just no need for it. Yeah.
So, in conclusion, brilliant film. Really, really
loved it. Everything about it I really loved.
I loved the designs of the robots. I know a lot
of them are just stripped straight from the...
the artwork which is great that's good they should
have done that 100 um could they have done a
bit more with it yeah they could have did they
need to do much more with it no they didn't so
they could have done they didn't doesn't matter
i still really enjoyed it i loved that they had
a load of piano versions of songs so slowly started
from the piano and then went into the song really
nice as a taco bot i stand with you mate rebuild
taco bot and getting back on the piano brilliant
um But everything was just so well designed.
Yeah. One particular line I really liked, when
Skate's character gets in the supersized drone
that he's built. Yep. You're trespassing and
you've just got Penny Post there going, well,
actually, as a member of the United States Postal
Service, I'm allowed here. He tries to give him
a letter before just getting blasted out the
way. Yeah. Great film. Everyone, go watch it.
Really good. These Porsches can really go, baby.
Ah, shanked it. It's stuck. It's freaking stuck.
