When a man's an empty cattle He should be on
his mettle And yet I'm torn apart I'm crazy as
a loon. Sometimes I suspect I'm not who I think
I am. Like maybe I died a long time ago and somebody
took my brain and stuck it in this body. You're
implying that a group composed entirely of female
animals will... breathe? This isn't part of my
program. I'm a doctor, not a doorstop. Do you
have an impact drill? Uh, yeah, over on the rack.
Thank you. Oh, it's a stretch. Hello and welcome
to the Untitled Sci -Fi Show. Hello. How's it
going? Yeah, not too bad. Dude, how are you doing?
I'm pretty good. I'm pretty good. Look, firstly,
I want to say a big thank you to Ross from Who
Takes Socks Off for his little cameo at the end
of the last episode. I've still not got there.
I'm about 15 minutes off the end at the moment.
Let me get this out. Any podcast that I edit,
let's say, the last thing is that Star Trek beep.
If you haven't heard that yet, it's not the end.
So always, even after the outro and then the
Studio Channel 84 noise, if you don't hear that,
I think it's just like the comm ending noise
or something from Star Trek, it's not the end.
Yeah, I think I've even done a... One of my naughty
ones where there's almost like five minutes of
silence. I'm sure I've done something like that
on one of my... But the funny thing is, is that
was not intentional. No, it probably would have
been. I'm sure there is one where I've got a
massive amount of silence, then something, and
then it... It might be the one where I did the
singing, you know, we did the Barbie singing.
Oh, yes. That might be where I did something
on that and had a long silence and then did loads
of outtakes. Might be that. I can't remember.
No, fair enough. Anyway, so that's number one.
Number two, I've got your birthday present at
fucking last. Hurrah! He didn't get sniped on
eBay. No. So putting this in the intro intro.
Let me just grab it. So two items. It's an M
&S bag. I went to Marks and Spencer's. This is
not just food. It's a birthday present. So I'll
explain it as you're opening. So one. One's a
book. Ooh, okay. Doctor Who, Where's the Doctor?
I grew up, and actually I spent a lot of time
at secondary school because we had them all in
our library at secondary school doing the Where's
Wallys. I loved them, yeah. I loved Where's Wallys.
Oh, look, there's the little ladder pose. Yeah,
so it's Where's Wally, but it's Matt Smith's
Doctor Who. Oh, I like that. Oh, there's Karen,
still looking hot as a cartoon. Nice. Yeah, okay,
I love that. I absolutely love that. And now
there's a box. Well, I hope I've got the right
one, or at least something that you like, and
I'll explain it once you open it. I'm sure you
have. Oh! Now that is a super -sized erection
going on. It's got the original stickers on it
too, which I quite enjoyed. Oh, mate. Is it the
right one? Right, OK. That's what I'm keen to
say, because we talked about this. I'm not going
to say what it is yet. And I couldn't remember
which one of the three you said you liked the
best, so I just went for that one. I loved all
three of these. I'm not including the fourth
one because it's just... I didn't mention the
fourth. Exactly. This... Oh, my God. This is
just... Number one, it's just absolutely glorious.
And... OK. I could drag this on and make them
not know what it is. But actually, I will do.
The EB pricing on it. The electronics booting.
The original scribble EB. Low price guarantee.
PC game and 96 % the best game ever. Those labels
alone just immediately take me back to the days
of looking at computer games going, oh, this
is so cool. And oh, this is absolutely fucking
amazing. This is... quake 2 in a big box i don't
even care about the game disc it's in a big box
the big box is all i care about because you know
what the day big the day oh it's got a manual
it's got also the other document that always
comes with it oh yes the product registration
because of course we all did that let's tuck
that back in the box like every other person
under the sun except for the one called barry
who sends them all in um oh this is the sort
of thing we would have sat i wouldn't have actually
around quake 2 i didn't have a pc at quake 2
uh i played this far later but um this is the
era that manuals came with games and you would
have sat on the bus and poured through it until
you got home and play so Just having the story.
Yo, soldier 3585, the medtech's voice startles
you. You in or out. There's an entire story to
this. Oh, my God. How long is the story? Installation.
Oh, look at that. Double click on setup .exe
at the root level of the CD. For updates to Quatu,
please refer to www .idsoftware .com. Do you
reckon they're still there? There is just no
automated updates. You could have put this in
your computer and just played it straight away.
They used to just work out the box nine times
out of ten, didn't they? Nine times out of ten.
Black and white. Oh, black and white didn't.
You had to download a patch to get to the final
level of that. Theme Hospital had the same issue.
a large number of people that had Theme Hospital
could not play the final level. It would always
crash out. Well, as we found out from also your
theme park game, it has an extra printout in
it. Oh, God, yes, it did, didn't it? For people
who had Windows 96 or whatever it was complaining
about. Oh, this is just absolutely glorious.
This is, as a big box era, I'm so sad that the
big box era is gone. I mean, I would even, even
now, if they said Xbox, by the way, you're not
going to get in a DVD case. You're going to get
in a big box from now. I'd be happy. Yeah. I
would just, it's just, it's luxurious. I know
it was a huge waste and we didn't need it, but
oh, wow. I'm just looking at the bad guys here.
This was just such a good game as well. I only
recently completed it on the Xbox Game Pass.
Oh, really? I powered my way through Quake 1.
which I also had never completed. I'd never had
a chance to. Then I completed Quake 2, and then
I, as normal, ended up playing hours and hours
of Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament. We should install
it on your old PC. So I've got two old PCs. So
the Pentium... Hang on a moment. The laptop one
down there. I've got two laptops. I've got an
old Pentium 2 MMX. which I've upgraded as much
as I can, and I've stuck an SD card in it as
a hard drive. Let me have a look here. 95, so
yeah, that's running 98 second edition. The best.
Only a Pentium 90 megahertz. That's interesting.
Okay, yeah, so I can spunk all over that. The
issue is, of course, it's not got a graphic card,
so it would have to be in software mode, which
is, again, it'd be fine. It's got a lovely screen
on that. But I have got the... newer laptop there
running windows 2000 and that has got a graphics
card that's got an ati rage in it so i'd be able
to do things like gl quake so we will have to
have a play but that is just oh just looking
at even remembering sitting in a shop and reading
oh the back of the box is looking at the minimum
specs and not really knowing what they are just
going oh i wonder if i could run that when i
had a pc that is Oh, a quad -speed CD drive required
that has 600 kilobytes a second sustained transfer
rate. Hard disk space, 250 megabytes uncompressed
required. You imagine that on an Xbox game now.
You need 250 gigs free. Did they used to just
use the disk after that for authentication? So
you install it on your computer and then they
authenticate from the disk. Not all. Some install
directly to the PC and you didn't need the disk.
Some installed to the PC, but you needed the
disc for authentication. And some installed to
the PC, but you also needed the disc because
the disc would have things like the cut scenes,
which would run smoother off the disc, weirdly,
than off the hard drive in the early days. So,
yeah, some of it was authentication. Some of
it was because some of the game was on the disc
to make you need the disc. But, yeah, a lot of
that's down to piracy. I remember because also
you used to have the code inside them. Where
was it? I'm sure I brought a game. So yeah, Half
-Life. Half -Life and Half -Life. I don't know
about Half -Life 2, but Half -Life, you'd have
the CD jewel case and inside it, you'd have a
little white oblong and it would be a 24 -digit
sort of license key number that you'd have to
type in. And obviously, that's where Steam kind
of appeared. You install Half -Life and then
it'd be, what's your CD key? And you'd type it
in and it would go off to the server and authenticate
it. I remember buying a game from Game Station
once and... or maybe it was electronic boutique
actually and it didn't have the code inside i
had to go take it back and ask for it and it
took a lot to get them to believe me that in
there didn't come with a code someone who clearly
had gone in the box because they were the boxes
that were on the shelf were the ones they would
give you and then put the disc in so clearly
someone had just gone and took the box off opened
it up to the code and fucked off yeah oh well
here you go look this is uh Minimum install additional
requirements. If you want to play from CD -ROM,
you only need 25 megabytes of hard drive space.
That's not much, is it? So a lot of the game
must have been streamed from the disc. I've taken
photos bigger than that. Normal install additional
requirements. Play from hard disk, 250. Maximum
install additional requirements. Play from hard
disk, 400 megs of uncompressed. Again, probably
taking photos bigger than that too. It was copying
all of the music. videos fmb onto the hard drive
then so if you had the space it was wonderful
but honestly mate this is this is just beyond
wonderful um oh i like this this product is intended
for sale outside north america only and will
not function on north american operating systems
yeah well shut up say what i'd love to know how
they did that that's bullshit that is 100 percent
I can't breathe in this thing! Oh, I'm going
to have to do little cuts as I kind of stretch
over that record button back again. I don't know
why it's so far away from me today. So, guess
the intro. Guess the intro. Right, so I did bolt
it up. I told everyone it was an 80s one. Valentino
corrected me. It was 90s. It was 90s, yes. I
got confused. I thought I was doing two 80s,
but actually I'm doing two 90s. So the one you
would have heard at the beginning of this is
also a 90s one. Are you sure? I am sure. I have
it written down. I have it written here. So we
had a winner. We have a wiener. We had a wiener.
A very lovely chap who's recently got in contact
with us. His name is James. Hi, James. Hi, James.
So he got every single one correct. Absolutely
brilliant. First time he's tried. I think it
was the first show of the Untouchable Show. Yeah,
hang on a moment. Untitled sci -fi show. That
he's listened to and he got it right straight
away. He can be found on Blue Sky at jimbo8e6
.bluesky .social. Yes. Yeah, go follow him. Go
say hello. He loves ZX Spectrum stuff. Got chatting
with us, didn't he, about cover art and things.
Obviously a big fan for me then because... The
ZX Spectrum is what I grew up with. Yeah. And
that's my favourite all -time machine, which
is why I play it all the time still. So, yeah,
if anybody's into ZX Spectrum, and particularly
the art, go follow him, Blue Sky. Have a chat
with him. He's a lovely, lovely fellow. Absolutely.
Right. So, let's get on with it, mister. Let
me get the file open on my phone here. You ready?
I'm ready. Why did you judge me? You killed innocent
people. The means to an end. You started a massacre.
I caused a revolution. You betrayed the law.
Law. I love that. Law. I am the law. Yeah. Go
on then. It's easy. It's such an easy one. Judge
Dredd. And as James put, the Stallone one. Just
in case you hadn't got it. In case you didn't
guess. Right. Next one. Although I was saying
that the modern Judge Dredd is fucking brilliant.
And they are finally talking about a sequel to
it. So. I did actually watch something on YouTube
about that. He said, what's the guy's name again?
He played him in the new one. Oh, Keith Urban.
Yeah. He said to them, he doesn't want to take
the helmet off. And he basically stayed in character
all the time. Yeah. Yeah, he did loads of stuff.
He was like, part of why that film is as good
as it is, is basically all thanks to him. Not
Keith, Carl Urban. Carl Urban, yeah. Is it Carl?
Something like that. We all know who he is. He
played... Dr. McCoy in the modern Star Trek.
And he's in The Boys. He's brilliant. He is such
a good actor. Whatever he gets himself into,
he's just really good at. And Dredd, he was fucking
awesome. He was great. And it definitely deserves
a sequel, as long as they let him do what they
did in the first one. Independence Day. Independence
Day. What bit? The world just crashed then. Yeah,
it's the final fight scene. The final fight scene,
yeah. Just before he flies his jet into the spaceship.
So, did you know there's an alternate ending?
Does he get bummed by the aliens? Yeah, he gets
caught and probed. Because that's his problem,
isn't it? That's all we wanted to do. He keeps
running away from us. We'll leave your world
alone now. That's why we were drilling. We were
trying to show him what we wanted to do. That's
a massive euphemism. No, so if you read the book,
which I have done, I know I don't read much,
but I have, the ending of the book, and they
did film this version and it didn't test very
well. Okay. The ending of the book is they won't
let him get in a jet. Oh, why? Well, because
he's a fucking drunk, but he still saves the
day because in the end of the book, he gets the
crop. the one that he does the crop dusting with,
and he straps a warhead to that and flies that
into the middle of the aircraft. Oh, that's quite
cool. Yeah, that's a bit more on character as
well, isn't it? Exactly. That's actually more
on character with him than him basically. Yeah,
I'm a drunk. I flew really old jet aircraft back
in like the... It'd be Narm. Yeah, Narm. I'm
sure I can get into a modern technical jet and
still fly it, though. Oh, yeah, I'm sure this
is the same. Let's just stick you in a crop duster
with a missile strapped to the wing and two...
And that's how it ended, and they did film that.
I don't know if it's actually available anywhere.
I don't know if it was on an extra on the DVD,
but, yeah. It'll be somewhere. More than likely.
Well, I'll be damned. It's the gentleman guppy.
Little short one there. It's the gentleman guppy.
It's Waterworld. I don't know why I've gone like
this. I don't know because he doesn't do that
voice either. No, he doesn't. I quite like Waterworld.
I like Waterworld. Kevin Costner in it's pretty
good. Let me put it like this. Kevin Costner's
entire acting of Waterworld, whether you like
it or not, is still that single film on its own
in its entirety is better than watching Kevin
Costner. Telling Superman, no, don't use your
super speed and come and save me. Before he gets
whisked off into the tornado in whichever Superman
film that is. One of the Zack Snyder ones. His
dad gets sucked off into a tornado. And rather
than letting Superman come and save him, he's
just like, no, you stay there. You stay there,
son. Yeah. It's terrible. It's an awful scene.
Fifth element. It's still going. Unbelievable!
A little glimpse into the next one there. We
know that one as well. So Fifth Element, yeah,
what a wonderful film Fifth Element is. It is.
It's a real classic. There's the meme, isn't
it? If you don't know what these four stones
are from, blah, blah, blah, and it's always the
bloody pillars of the stone showing earth, wind,
fire and whatever else it is. It's just a really
good film. I haven't watched it in years, though.
Had it on VHS, bought it from HMV when they used
to do the buy five VHS for £20 sort of offer,
just as DVD was kind of kicking off. Yeah. But,
yeah, I must watch that again. Well, maybe it'll
turn up one day on here. Ooh, true. I am the
Martian ambassador. We come in peace. So he actually
says we come in peace like three times, I think,
which is the more iconic way of doing it, but
I needed time. It has to be less than 60 seconds
for it to work on blue skies. Yeah, well, that's
fair enough. Well, that was Mars Attacks. Yeah.
Again, we have spoken about it before. I have
the Italian copy on Blu -ray. I think when we
get around to that, we'll just have to sit together
and watch your version. It's like I've got the
Polish... You've got the Polish John Wick? John
Wick. I was like, why is everything subtitled?
I don't think the English bit's subtitled. Hang
on a moment, I don't remember John Wick being
a subtitled film. Yeah, because it doesn't subtitle...
Is he on a foreign mission? Because it doesn't
subtitle when the other guys are talking. Because
I was just like, this is so confusing to me.
Now, when I first heard this, I thought, there's
no way he's pulled out a Galaxy Quest clip again.
No. And then you hear Will Smith speak, and it's
like, oh, well, it's Men in Black. Men in Black,
yeah. One of my favourite scenes from the film,
I've got to say, because everyone's been in a
situation like that, where they've got to do
something in a quiet environment. They know it's
going to make a lot of noise. Yeah. Well, there's
a lyric from... Oh, God, what's it called? There's
a Barenaked Ladies song. I'm going to have to
look up the name, otherwise it's going to bug
me. Hang on. Oh, come on. Of course it's in my
library. Barenaked Ladies. No. No. One Week.
There we go. And there's a lyric in it where
he says... It's going on about if you can't understand
what I mean, well, you soon will. And the lyric
before that is trying not to laugh at a funeral.
Try not to laugh at a funeral, Dan. It can't
understand, but you soon will. And it's like,
I know exactly. I'm the kind of guy that laughs
at a funeral. Can't understand what I mean, well,
you soon will. And yeah, since hearing that,
I now sit there at a funeral. It's quite, it's
like. Oh, shit. Here come the giggles. Yeah.
So that's it. Well done, everybody. James, particularly
wonderful work. And, you know, send your answers
in for the one you heard at the start of this
show. I could make you do some work now, couldn't
I? I mean... I'm just making you beep out all
these names now in editing. Oh, fuck, fuck, fuck.
There's only one man who would dare give me the
raspberry. Lone Star! Gary? Gary? Who the fuck
is Gary? Oh, what a song. I listened to that
the other day. Alice? Who the fuck is Alice?
Right, what have you been up to? You been watching
anything? You know what? I have. Finally, I've
been really busy at work and there's been a few
family things and helping out my brother. So
there's not been much time to do much. Not even
jump back on Helldivers, which I'm disappointed
about. And Super Earth has nearly fallen, by
the way. Oh, has it? It's around one city left
out of eight. Oh, we're going to have to play
it. So I don't know what they'll do. If Super
Earth falls, do you think they'll just say, well,
Helldivers 2 is finished, game over? I don't
know. And they'll re -spark the universe? No,
so we have the, you probably haven't seen it,
we have a space station. Oh. Which is like an
operating base that we can vote on where it moves
to. So I think that'll become the hub, and it'll
be like, we need to retake Super Earth. And then
it will be like taking planets on our way back
to Super Earth. Yeah, fair enough. Okay, so that's
a plausible answer. So I might have a go on that
when we finish recording. So I haven't done much
gaming. However, I have started watching Murderbot.
Okay. Which is fucking brilliant. It's on Apple
TV. I've seen the advert for that. It's one of
the... I can't pronounce their surname. One of
the brothers. It's one of the brothers because
it's the same one that was in Boy Kills World.
Yeah, and It. Yeah, so it just, it's... God,
what are they called? That's going to warm me
up. Skarsgård? Skarsgård, well done. It's just
wonderfully weird. Yeah. And funny and dark.
Are there three of them, the brothers? I think
so, yeah. But, yeah, so Murderbot is just...
It's delightfully clever. It's meant to be based
on a book. So there's been a lot of people ranting
and raving as normal that it's not the same as
the book. Why have you given them a shiny helmet
that disappears when in the book it's just a
helmet he can take off? Because it has to be
adapted for television. Because they don't want
the actor walking around carrying around wearing
a helmet and holding a helmet in scenes when
he's concentrating on every fucking thing else
under the sun. Because in a book you forget about
it. Yeah. When you're watching it, you're looking
at it. Exactly. You want something to look good,
so it's fine. And the whole premise, I love it
to bits. The idea is that you've got these cyborg
sort of robot things that are made of human tissue
mixed with... well cyborgs robocop sort of things
um they all have a governor unit which prevents
them from breaking the rules and this one is
just so sick of life he's been hacking his and
eventually manages to bypass it okay and he's
like well what shall i call myself i could be
freedom unit no murder bot Yes, and he saves
his name as Murderbot, and that's it. And then
he's just half -arsing life. He's out on this
mission with these people, and the very first
episode, it's within the first five minutes,
so it's not ruining the series. The first five
minutes of the episode, he's there with the people
he's meant to be protecting on this new planet,
and he's like, shit, I should have detected that
earlier. However, I was watching basically satellite
TV because I couldn't give a shit about these
people. Oh, right. Because he's just bypassed
all of his kind of... But the point is, is there's
a lot going on in it. And what I like is it's
a bit like Resident Alien. Yeah. So they've thrown
humour in there and you think straight up, oh,
it's going to be funny. But then you suddenly
realise, actually, there's quite a lot of depth
and there's actually mystery involved in this
now as well. So actually, this could be rather
interesting. So there's about four or five different
spokes of the story that are kind of expanding
off at the moment. And it could all end in comedy,
or it could end in tragedy, or it could end in
a whole mix. So I'm really enjoying it. I think
I'm on episode three now, and I'm looking forward
to putting it on. Yeah. Whereas Doctor Who, I've
still not gone and bothered to watch episode
two. We don't wish anymore, right? I've just
had no wish to. Yeah. So it kind of speaks volumes.
Yep. Gee beasties, what's happened to his head?
It's on backwards. This is terrible. Do something.
I'm sorry, sir. There must have been a microconverter
malfunction. any of this stuff if anyone called
that he said sex when i went to press the record
because he could see me having to completely
move out the way i know it's great i don't know
what position i've got myself in maybe they've
just put that too far away you know a compromising
position what have i been doing um more mob land
i'm pretty sure i've mentioned it already yeah
that's the tom hardy stuff in this yeah so I've
got like 10 minutes left of episode nine. There's
only one series, isn't there? Yeah, it's the
first season. I really recommend you watch it.
If you like kind of gangstery shows, I think
it's one of the best ones I've seen, really.
So that's great. As I said, 10 minutes left of
episode nine. Haven't seen The Last of Us, which
is really frustrating. For whatever reason, Miranda
hasn't wanted to watch it, even though she loves
it. Other things have been going on. So we're
two episodes behind. So basically, I think the
penultimate and the... ultimate episode of the
two we haven't watched so i'm like really avoiding
a lot of social media at the moment so there's
so much social media going on and it's nothing
about the episodes it's all being very harsh
to the girl that's playing the main girl i don't
get it i very briefly saw a thing having the
other character the other girl i don't know their
names um front front and centre with her slightly
behind. And then your captain was like, don't
you want to have your main character front and
centre? I was like, well, probably, but that
might just be a shot in the show where she's
not the main character. I'm sorry, I just don't
get why people hate her. Look, she does not look
like her. So fucking what? And I'm sorry, but
if you're saying she doesn't look as good looking
as the one from the game, you've got problems
if you're eyeing up a 16 -year -old computer
game character. I know, right? It's a bit gross
anyway. But she's a great actor. You meant to
say actor, aren't we? Actress, actor, whatever.
I don't know what the term is generically now
for it. I think it is actor. I'm just going to
say actor. I think she is a great actor. Which
is interesting because... A lot of the reviews
I've seen, and there's a couple of reviews I'm,
again, not putting all my trust into because
we know our position on reviewers. We know that
we don't trust them because it's one person's
opinion. But what I'm constantly seeing is people
saying she's a wooden actor and she can be great
at acting at points, but there's some points
where she either massively overacts or she massively
underacts like a plank of wood. so i don't really
know what to make without watching it for myself
i don't know but of course these reviews always
come with cherry picked clips and those clips
are always fairly i kind of see what you mean
about being mediocre which isn't fair because
actually like you say she could be a really good
actress and actually you're only showing you're
choosing the bits um oh what's her name um hillary
swank is a brilliant actress but if i showed
her showed you just the one clip from the core
you'd go really she's a main character yeah it's
it's difficult isn't it yeah um i mean i've heard
rumor that season three's gonna she's not gonna
be in it Are they doing a season three? I had
no idea. Rumour has it that season three is coming
and they're going to be focusing on a completely
different character in it. Well, they'd have
to because there's only two games. I haven't
finished the second game, so I actually don't
know what happens. I knew all of the first one
and they followed it very closely. And this one,
they have actually made quite a big change from
the bit of the game that I got up to. I've overtaken
it in the show, so I need to catch up with the
game now. see but the point that i was from at
the end of episode two for the people watch it
um that is different than the game a very large
thing is different about somebody going somebody
leaving the village doesn't happen in the show
yeah that does happen in the game oh okay so
and it's quite important character so it'd be
i'm interested to see how that goes because i'm
at that point in the show now where it has said
that that person's there but I want to know what
happens in the games version of it. So they have,
I think, I feel like they've made more changes
in this one than that. But as we just said in
the last segment, you know, adaptions, you know,
you have to adapt it to make it work on screen
to work differently on screen. I think, especially
if they're planning on a third season and the
games already said. We're not going to do a third.
Don't worry. It's nothing to do with us. So you
now need to take the story in the direction you
think. The only things I ever get fed up with
in these things is if a character dies in a book
or in a game, I think they should die in the
show. I think aspects like that, pillars of the
actual story should stay. How you get to that,
I think probably does need to be changed from
book. to tv i think it does need to be changed
because it just won't work you can go on like
massive three chapter kind of um elaborations
and stuff in a book well you can't do that in
a show because the show is 47 and a half minutes
or whatever they do for shows now you know so
you've got to make it fit like i know that pierce
brown who's one of my favorite authors we both
adore he's supposedly working on adapting it
for tv now there's this is such a he calls it
a um a space opera is what he calls it it's so
huge and and sprawling it's like game of thrones
level massive it would need like 10 seasons to
fill every single piece of information and i
will be that guy if it ever does come out going
that's not in the book that's not the book that's
not the book but because he is actually heading
it, I'm sure it'd be great. Well, that's the
difference, isn't it? If the person who created
it is actually doing the series, you would hope
that they would want their prodigy, their child,
their creation to carry on in the same ilk that
they created it to. Whereas when you get these
TV series that spring up based on... X, Y, Z,
and that person, all they've done is said, oh,
we've given you our blessing. That's when it
goes wrong. Look at Jurassic Park 2. The book
for Jurassic Park 2 is phenomenal. The film for
Jurassic Park 2 is pony. And even to an extent,
I love the first Jurassic Park film, but fuck
me, the book is so much better. Yeah, Dan Broderill
always tells me the book for Jurassic Park is
incredible. The book is way more a horror than
what you get from... The film. Yeah. Again, adapted
to work. Spielberg's obviously adapted to work,
to make money, to be a good show. And it's a
fucking brilliant film. But yeah, because I have
no concept of what the book is. One day I'll
get it on Audible. Just to mirror on. So yeah,
a little bit more Stardew Valley. A little tiny
little bit, but I haven't really played anything
other than Helldivers with you. You know, we've
already spoken about that. And what Miranda and
I have been doing is we've gone a little bit
of a Mission Impossible binge. So we're currently
on a four Rogue Nation. We just started it. Because
we're two or three films behind. And considering
Mission Impossible is one of my favourite film
franchises, and same with Miranda, it's like
one of our connections is Mission Impossible.
We're surprised, I think just T came along. And,
you know. COVID. Kids change everything. And
we stopped going to the cinema. You know, I think
I've been to the cinema only with you since we
had tea. He's nearly five. So, you know, and
we used to have a card like you. We'd go every
week. Yeah. So, yeah, we missed out on kind of
one of our things that we like to do, which is
I'd love to go and see Mission Impossible in
the cinema. So we're a bit behind on that. I
think the new one's on Netflix. I think the only
Mission Impossible I ever saw at the cinema was
Mission Impossible 2. You see, I've always liked
Mission Impossible 2. John Woo. It's a very different
film to all the others. It's actually one of
my least favourite ones because, because I said
to my wife, she's like, oh, it's my favourite
one. But I've seen it so many times. I brought
it on VHS. It was a gold VHS in the bargain bin
at Saver Centre. Nice. That's when I got it.
And I've seen it. I wore that VHS out because
I loved it so much. But now I'm like, when we
watched it the other day, I'm like. I was kind
of looking at my phone a bit because I just know
it. Yeah, okay. Question for you then. Yeah,
now I'm going to get it wrong. You're going to
ask me a question about it. No, no, no, no. Should
Limp Bizkit's song being the title song for that
or should it have been Metallica, I Disappear?
It's a really difficult one, isn't it? Because
obviously... Would it feel the same though if
it wasn't Limp Bizkit? Limp Bizkit sampled the
Mission Impossible classic theme. So, okay, fair
enough. But I Disappear is a great fucking track.
Yeah. It's got a great music video as well. I
remember getting I Disappear on CD and having
the really low bitrate Apple video of it plus
Apple whatever the... I've got a Mac next to
me. A lossless version of it. No, they had the
music video and they always used to give you
a copy of, not iMovie, QuickTime. Oh, the QuickTime.
You used to get QuickTime. on the disc as well,
so you could get the latest version of QuickTime
to play the Apple QuickTime video. So I remember
that on the single, but I really enjoyed the
Metallica version. I don't mind the Limp Bizkit
song. I can't even remember what theirs was called.
I don't remember. One thing I've got to say I
haven't liked, the third film and the fourth,
Rogue Nation, the intros. It's a cool idea, but
at the same time it's a bit spoilery. So the
actual intro, as it's kind of doing the four
-word credits for the actors and the main producer,
whatever, it does clips of the film. So you basically
get a very short clip of the entire film of number
three in the intro of three. And they did it
in number four as well. The entire fourth film
is seen in two -second clips. In the intro, if
you're watching it for the first time, those
clips mean nothing to you. But when you have
actually watched it before and you look at it
and you think, yeah, that's literally the film
that you're showing there. A little bit out of
context, but it is in the right order and showing
you stuff. So it's kind of like, you know, if
you're worried about a particular character dying
in the middle of the film and then he's right
at the end of one of these little segments, it's
like, well, there's no jeopardy for that character
anymore because you know he or she will be alive
at the end. So it's like... It was Take a Look
Around by Lil Biscuit. Again, great track. And
I know what you're saying there. I mean, I remember
watching the very first Mission Impossible and
just thinking, I'm a bit bored with this. And
then actually sitting and watching it the second
time and giving it a bit more, actually, I'll
give a damn about it this time and just really
loving it. It's great watching the first one
again because I really like the first one. I
love John Boy. Well, the first one is fantastic.
purely mission impossible it's exactly as you
expect it to be and i think that's where maybe
i don't enjoy the mission impossible franchise
as much because it just keeps getting more and
more over the top the first one was perfect there
was espionage in it it wasn't james bond it was
mission impossible we had some really funky gadgets
that kind of really played out nicely That's
kind of all you needed. But then it kind of started
getting into two. And again, two was more an
action film. It was just John Woo being John
Woo, more than a Mission Impossible film. Then
three, we really start heading into the territory
of, okay, this is becoming more science fiction
than an action kind of adventure. Well, three
is when he's kind of, he's not an agent anymore.
He's training the agents, number three. I can't
remember. Because that's when he gets married.
Is it? I thought the third one... Again, I couldn't
even tell you. Because I'm pretty sure... The
third one's the one that opens with the girl
dying on the aircraft. He doesn't get to them
in time and whatever the thing they've stuck
in her head goes off and it melts her brain.
And it opens up with the guy from Lost dying.
And... Is that three? Am I getting them wrong?
Because my head's mangling them all together.
I thought the third one... started with the,
they rescue some agents and there's something
been stuck in her head. Yeah. And her, basically
she goes cross -eyed when it goes off. I could
be wrong. I think, no, yeah, you might be right.
And I'm getting them mixed up. But you've been
watching them back. You've been binging them.
So it wouldn't surprise me if it's got mixed
up. No, okay, no, number three is, you're right,
number three is the one where he has the thing
in his head. Yeah, brain bomb. Blonde girl death.
That's what the YouTube video is. Am I then on,
is Rogue Nation? See, I've not seen anything
past three. Rogue Nation might be the one I'm
thinking of then. Which one? Okay, well, whatever
one. Fucking hell, who cares? Look, anyway, I've
been watching Mission Impossible. We're watching
them all. I'm getting them all confused. It's
like Existence all over again. You listen. On
this ship, you're to refer to me as idiot, not
you, Captain. I mean, you know what I mean. Calling
me dickhead. Existence is paused. Because I got
to the record bar before you said bumhole. Right.
Space Bulls. Oh, it's dated, isn't it? Is it
1987? 87. Oh, it's dated. Well, it's a good job
Mel Brooks is Jewish. Put it that way. It's a
really good job he's Jewish. Otherwise, it would
be a bit awkward, some of it. Some of it I did
get. I absolutely love the film, but there are
some jokes in it I don't get. Like, I don't know
what Schwartz is. I know it's a play on of the
force, but I don't know what it means. Can you
enlighten me what it means? I didn't Google it.
Well, Schwartz is used for the colour black,
but within Yiddish terms, Jewish terms, I don't
know, to be honest. I just always assumed it
was just a Jewish -sounding word that they'd
used. Well, that's what I took it as, but Yogurt
kept saying it, so... I mean, there are. So it's
really hard because I would say on the most part,
the film is fairly well paced. But there are
some parts of the film where you just feel like
wherever the joke's gone. I think Mel was on
mushrooms when he conceived of this thing. Oh,
yeah. There were drugs involved. It's just. Yes.
I enjoy it. I love the film. It's funny as hell.
I love it to bits. I always love it. Miranda's
never even heard of it. And she was working with
it on the background. I heard her going, ha!
Like that every now and again when it was saying
stuff. But I mean, opening with the stupidly
long spaceship is just such a brilliant way to
do it. What a great model, by the way, too. Well,
all the models are done brilliantly in it. They've
spent so much money on it. But yeah, opening
a film. with basically the panning of a stupidly
long spaceship, where every moment you think,
right, that's it, it's done. No, we're going
to drag it on another 10 seconds. And it goes
on. Oh, does it go on? It goes on. I feel like
all of the kind of effects were better than Star
Wars. Like the cock laser beams, they were really
good. Not the ones really shooting them in the
cock. They were shit. The lightsaber battle was
better than the Darth Vader. Oh, no, it was.
Yeah, it was. The lightsaber battle is awful.
No, it was so good. You can pause it and you
see they've just drawn a rectangular shape over
it. No, I've got to disagree with you on that.
I think it was better than the Star Wars, didn't
it? I love when it just twists up. It's like,
oh, I hate it when I get my shorts stuck. Hang
on, I'll put my leg up here and I'll tug it off.
And they did a great episode 11. Yeah. Touch.
Just absolutely classic, yeah. Okay, we're going
to do... Now, Jordan Lucas was a huge fan of
the film. Oh, good. He was a huge fan of the
screenplay. He was a huge fan of the film. The
one thing he said, and this is very... Which
is why you won't find much until fairly recently,
I think. He told them, you can parody anything
of Star Wars. You can rip the piss out of Star
Wars. You can do anything you want with Star
Wars. You cannot merchandise the film, though.
And is that why they have all the merchandise
in the film? That's why Yogurt has the whole
piece. The only person that can merchandise the
film is Yogurt. That was really funny because
after that point, you see the merchandise everywhere.
The entire thing is just full of it, which is
hilarious. I love it. It's like the shaving foam
scene and it's Spaceballs, the shaving foam.
Yeah, basically it's every single item but just
says Spaceballs before it. Yeah, all those little
things. A few, I'm just going to quickly go,
a few standout moments for me. Mr. Coffee and
Mr. Radar. That really hit me so perfectly. I
don't know what it was about that. I found that
utterly hilarious. I always have my coffee before
I look at the radar, don't I? Yes, dark helmet.
And the fact that the radar machine was Mr. Radar
next to the Mr. Coffee machine. Because even
Miranda was laughing at that. But the problem
is, and not the problem, but the point is, that's
the same humour that we got in Police Academy.
We got in Hot Shots particularly. Yeah. I mean,
Hot Shots, just full stop, you got all of that
in there, didn't you? I feel like they do it
better than this. This feels like a mismatch
of all of them. Well, it's difficult, isn't it?
Because if you look at the Mel Brooks films,
Young Frankenstein, oh, blimey, Blazing Saddles.
Well, that's great. Let's face it, Blazing Saddles
is one of these ones that probably should be
cancelled, but God, don't, because it's so fucking
brilliant. This, out of all the Mel Brooks films
that I can think of, is probably the lowest point.
It's still a brilliant film, but when you consider
how funny Mel Brooks can be and what he can create,
it's on the lower spectrum of them. But things,
as you say, Mr. Coffee and Mr. Ray, that's just
beautiful. That simple looking at the screen
and then the gentle pan out and it's Mr. Coffee.
in the same shot than this gentle pan right and
there's mr radar it's like yeah that's just wonderful
yeah just the thought process in there breaking
the fourth wall when they're like i know what
we can do we'll watch space balls the movie yeah
yeah when is this happening then now when yeah
we do a few times that they say they do that
then they do a quick zoom in and headbutt helmet
and then also they zap the sound man don't they
when they're doing the lightsaber yeah and my
other standout moment was john hurt having the
alien come out and dance in the bar right not
again yeah that was really good because i completely
forgot about that and then to see that scene
again i thought it was brilliant anyway yeah
interestingly so many people mistake that alien
model as something that was used in red dwarf
for some reason i've got no idea why It's probably
because of polymorph running around. I can only
assume that's it. But yeah, it's so often mixed
up with red dwarf. I wonder if there's something
else red dwarf that we're both not remembering.
But yeah, but it's very red dwarf. You know,
that's something exactly red dwarf would do.
Yeah. Yeah, no, it's not. Right. So ludicrous
speed. Ludicrous speed. Yeah, I love that. Absolutely.
We've gone to plaid. Yeah. Pizza the Hut. That
guy was disgusting. Oh, such a gross costume.
Yeah. With the dripping and the oozing of stuff
off it. And the bits of pepperoni falling off
and the guy was eating it. It was so horrible.
I love the news bit at the end. Pizza the Hut
has been found dead in his limousine. He's eating
himself to death. Yeah. It's so revolting. It
was such a good costume because I really felt
sick watching it. Yeah. The combing the desert.
Always a classic part. I mean, you see that clip
non -stop everywhere. But the prop for that as
well is just so beautifully done. And the racial
joke, the afro comb that the backdoos are using.
I just, again, the punchline of it, we ain't
found shit. Jamming the radar. Oh, jamming the
radar. Now, if you notice, Lone Star uses strawberry
jam. What does then Dark Helmet say? It's Raspberry.
It's Raspberry. Yeah, with the guy who makes
all the funny noises, that actor. Yeah, absolutely
brilliant. And if you look at the trivia section
of things like IMDb, Mel Brooks said, he saved
us thousands of dollars by doing all the sound
effects for us. Michael Winslow. Oh, yeah, that's
it. And when Mel himself, because he's playing
the main bad guy, isn't he? It really kept close
to my heart when he's complaining about the beaming.
I was like, oh, me and Mel must be coming from
the same place here about not trusting the beaming.
I love the peri -air that he has to start with.
It's like, beaming? But I'm not sure. The depth
of ripping the piss out of Star Trek. I'm sure
it must be an interlock problem. Interlock one,
two, three, four. Snotty beamed me twice last
night. Yes. beautifully a beautiful just pierced
tape because it wasn't just we're using the whole
beaming thing they did the techno babble yeah
and it's just that's what you need just doing
a like a transport thing that could have been
anything sci -fi but the techno babylon top yeah
done exactly as it was in like the original series
is perfect and what i like is they're using it
like what my main complaint from discovery was
is that he beamed over and then he was fucked
up his head was on backwards being back and then
he just walked through the fucking door he was
exactly it's just like it wasn't even needed
it's just that that joke It's amazing. Yeah,
it's a really fun joke. Because as I complained
about Discovery, why is everyone just... No,
everyone would be fat because everyone's beaming
everywhere. It's ridiculous. Oh, yeah, what else
we've got? Calling Dot Matrix the C -3PO character.
Yeah. Just again, it's just... But the costume
there. So apparently that costume, they built
three of them and went through all of them in
filming. They all got destroyed through either
accidents or just being worn too much on set.
So they built three of those. Did you notice
that none of them ever wore helmets when they're
in the void of space? They literally had a ladder
going between Lone Star's ship and the Mercedes.
It was a ladder and they're just climbing down
the ladder in the fucking vastness of space.
And the same when they go to the CAF. at the
end of the diner, they're just parked like an
asteroid or something, just walking from their
ship to it. Right, okay. So I've just asked ChatGPT,
by the way, the Schwartz, a parody of the Force.
So in Star Wars, the Force, blah, blah, we know
that much. So Schwartz is a common Jewish surname
and also the Yiddish -German word for black.
Mel Brooks, who is Jewish. No. Often laced his
films with Jewish humour and Yiddish wordplay,
using Schwartz as a spoof of something as spiritual
and epic as The Force Wars classic Mel Brooks
movie, blah, blah, blah. It just basically, it's
just a word. It has nothing to do with, there's
no specialness to it. It is just the word black
or as common surname within the Jewish community.
Yeah, I mean, you could say what this is trying
to say here is that you could consider it a double
entendre. May the Schwartz be with you sounds
suspiciously like a euphemism even, especially
when characters pull out glowing rings or compare
whose Schwartz is bigger. So I kind of understand
that. But no, it's just typical wordplay, I think,
for it. Yeah. I like Dot Matrix's Virgin Alarm.
That was good. But I think one character we've
not even... Well, two. So you've got Bill Pullman,
legendary actor, went on to play the United States
President in Independence Day. He did, yeah.
I did wonder if there was any tie to that, because
when they go down and crash on the planet, he
puts out an SOS going, Eagle 5 down. I thought...
What was his number in Independence? He was Eagle
1 in Independence Day. I was thinking that would
have been so good of Independence Day. They'd
give him the call sign Eagle 5 as a tie back
to that. Yeah, that would have been fun. But
no, they didn't, sadly. But John Candy. Yeah,
John Candy, yeah. I mean, the legendary John
Candy, God rest his soul, is just underutilized,
if anything. His character's brilliant in it.
I mean, you've got... Barth. What's it short
for? What's your full name? Bartholomew. He's
a bit of a naughty boy too because he uses his
tail to shove out that woman's skirt and stuff.
I can't help it. He doesn't mind his own. I just
do think he was underutilised in the film for
the man and his comedy status. I mean, planes,
trains and automobiles. Uncle Buck. I mean, you
consider how underutilized he is in Home Alone,
to be fair, where he's just playing a bloody
musician. Yeah. They could have done so much
more with him. He's just a legendary actor in
my books. I mean, things like Cool Runnings.
You couldn't expect a better character to be
played by a person like John Candy. And it's
just like this character doesn't get as much
as I would have liked him to. Yeah, yeah. Did
you notice when they were doing the merchandise,
they had the Spaceballs comic? Yes. Did you notice
what it was? No, I didn't. It was just Transformers.
It had Optimus Prime on the front of it. Which,
of course, takes us to the Transformers piss
take. Spaceballs 1 turning into a giant transformer.
Yeah, it was like the... It was like the Statue
of Liberty. Voltron transformer, Statue of Liberty.
Yeah. Yeah. And sucking all of the 10 ,000 years
of air. I love how when they put it on blow,
all the trees just get blown back into place.
Oh, is it? I've got so many notes. I'm just naming
parts in the film because there's so many little
bits. The code, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. And they're like,
oh, that'd be the code for some idiot's... Suitcase.
And then he comes, Mel comes in and he's like,
oh, that's the same code as my suitcase. That's
just how everyone is. One, one, one, two, two,
two. Oh, yeah. And he gets taught how to do the
Vulcan neck pinch properly on the person he's
doing the neck pinch to. Oh, this. I'm just going,
just going down. I loved all the Cox apps. They
were funny. I mean. Moving away from the kind
of... I am very fond of the film. I remember
watching it when I was younger. Don't realise
how much swearing is in it until recently watching
it again. It's a Mel Brooks film. It's kind of
expected, I guess. I think it does feel a bit
more dated than a lot of his. Maybe not Blazing
Saddle so much, but Young Frankenstein, for example,
this feels very dated in comparison to that.
And I would say... comparing it to other spoof
films of the time and even newer ones. So let's
say Hot Shots 1, Hot Shots 2, come a bit more
modern, Scary Movie, Not Another Teen Movie.
And I'm not saying Not Another Teen Movie is
a good film. It's got its moments. I'm not saying
Scary Movie is a good film, but it's a good film.
I like it. I don't care what anyone says to that
one. It does feel very much like the pacing is
off. Spaceballs wants to be a spoof movie. It
is a spoof movie, but there are just parts of
it that do just fall flat. What's the equivalent
of this now? I don't think we've got anything
really now. I mean, the closest we've got would
be Red Dwarf with the same era. So if we were
going to just go kind of with a spoof sci -fi
TV series, it would be Hyperdrive, which was
God knows how many years ago with Nick Frost.
But any of those films, like Naked Gun, that
kind of film, other than the one they're doing,
what's the equivalent now? Ted? Would that be
an equivalent? Because I was thinking like, the
office is just kind of like, the American office
is just, you know, a sitcom. Yeah. I can't think.
So someone's going to message and say, I can't
think of an equivalent to it now. You know, that
just complete ridiculousness of all of those
shows. No, you're right. There isn't. It's like
Family Guy. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I
think the closest we've got to it is animated.
It's going to be South Park. It's going to be
Family Guy. Though it shows that we haven't got
anything. The American dad. Yeah, not so much,
I guess. But yeah, you're right, we do. But I
wouldn't say there's much or anyone's brave enough,
I should guess I should say, because let's face
it, not many people are going to be willing to...
I bet they are. It's just the places won't pay
them. No one's willing to do it, yeah. I bet
there's loads of people that would make them.
If someone actually said we'd do it, I bet you
could easily find someone to broadcast it. It's
just I think people will think that they won't
get. Film -wise, the closest I can think of,
and it's just bugging me because I've been looking
at it, was a film called The Other Guys. And
that was Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell. Will
Ferrell plays a fairly kind of, he's just an
office jockey kind of. police officer. Wahlberg
wants to be back on the street and in all the
action, but he's got PTSD. Yeah. And they end
up having to try and solve a crumb. Have you
ever seen it? No, I've heard of it. I wanted
to watch it, but I think maybe all of Will Ferrell's
films are kind of like that, you know? Yeah,
I'm going to have to, I'll show you the clip
from the other guys. It's the funniest part of
the movie, which is sad because there's lots
and lots of brilliant bits. There's the police
commissioner who they keep on upsetting throughout
all of it is singing Waterfalls by TLC. And every
time he's been injured or they talk to him, he
gives them a line of the lyric from Waterfall.
And Will Ferrell was like, that's just TLC. He's
like, I don't know what you're talking about,
man. And then at the end of it, he's literally
quoting it verbatim. It's just one of those little
ongoing jokes, and that's what makes me think
of this. But I don't think we've had anything
recently, except the Naked Gun remake, that you
could say is similar. I would say the era of
those not -another -teen movies, so not -another
-superhero movie, all of those, and they were
bad. Again, Teen Movie is actually quite funny.
But everything after that that came, it just
kept on getting worse and worse. And this is
just stupid. And then there's Scary Movie. Scary
Movie 1, 2. Actually, you know what? I quite
like all of those. I don't know if I can say
anything about Scary Movie. I like the one with
Charlie Sheen where they're ripping the piss
out of signs. I guess, is it Superhero Movie
is another one? Superhero Movie. Yeah, there
you go. That's another one. Yeah, they just took
it too far, and I think it became a very... That's
what it became. People thought of spoof movies,
not of Police Academy, of Hot Shots, of Spaceballs.
What they thought of was, oh, superhero movie.
And people just went off them. Yeah, I actually
think scary movies are probably the closest ones,
really. Yeah. I like it. you know thinking about
the most so final thoughts on it would you reckon
oh i mean it's brilliant fun spoof sci -fi you
can't get away from you can't get away from a
giant spaceship that turns into a giant mechanized
made with a vacuum cleaner a flying winnebago
a cameo from the millennium falcon is in the
film as well i'll take it you spotted that i
don't think i did oh dear i don't think on your
phone go to google images Okay. And look up Spaceballs
Space Diner. So the final scene that you saw,
the Millennium Falcon is parked up next to the
Space Diner. Just before we see John Hurt, it's
sat there on the parking space. There he is.
How funny. Yeah. And what else was I... Oh, I've
just lost it from my mind. He's lost his mind,
ladies and gentlemen. Lost my mind. It was going
to be another kind of film that is like these
films that's instantly gone from my brain. Well,
I'm going to pause it in a minute and it will
come to my brain. But yeah, it's the same. I
really enjoyed it. It's a good, fun film. Don't
expect too much of it. If you're one of these
diehard, it's got to be a sensible film. But
if you're happy watching something that is just
fun and spoof, it's up there with those films.
That type of film, this is kind of the DNA of
it. Yeah. So a little addendum there. You're
quite right with what you've just said. What
three films were you thinking about that went
out of your mind? Austin Powers. Austin Powers.
They are, again, early 2000s, which is similar
to kind of the scary movies era that we all kind
of know. I mean, I'm guessing actually Austin
Powers is probably older than we think it is.
I bet you that was, I'm going to say 98. Yeah,
probably is, yeah. Yeah, so it's probably, it
may even be older than I think then. Let's have
a look here. Austin Powers, Goldmember was 2002.
Spy Who Shagged Me was 99. Yeah, Man of Mystery,
97. Yeah. So a lot older than I remember it being.
But yeah, that was the era of those films when
they were still good. Then we got Scary Movie.
And again, how old is Scary Movie now, dare I
ask? Oh, yeah. Let me have a very quick... 2000.
There were six scary movies. Yeah, there's a
lot of them. Oh, fuck that. No, I only ever saw
Scary Movie 3. I don't think I've seen any of
the others. I think I only saw two or three.
Oh, I might dig some of them out, but they sound
awful. Oh, Scary Movie 6 is 2026. Oh. So they're
filming it at the moment. The Wayans Brothers.
Yeah. Okay, at least they're both still in it.
Well, Marlon Wayans is in there anyway. What
about you guys? We ain't found shit. Right. Next
episode. Next episode. We were just having a
discussion because I hadn't prepared. It has
been decided we're going to watch Men in Black
International. Which was released in 2019. It
stars one of the Hemsworths. I think it's Chris
Hemsworth. And I was thoroughly disappointed
by it. I don't know if I've seen it. Doubt you
have. I remember it's nearly two hours long.
Ooh. Yeah. As a fun sci -fi film, and I don't
know how long the first one was. That's nearly
as long as the episodes that we do. Well, there
you go. So that means that episode's going to
be... 10 hours long. Not if either of us like
it. Men in Black 1997. Jeez, I remember seeing
that. I adored Men in Black. Oh, I still do.
It's a tough one now because Men in Black I really
liked and I'm Legend I really liked. Will Smith,
I don't like. Not anymore. One hour 38 for the
first one. I've never seen Men in Black 2. I
enjoyed Men in Black 2. Which... That then came
in at 1 hour 28. Men in Black 3 I really enjoyed.
I thought it was quite a clever idea. It was
quite nice. It was nicely done. 1 hour 46, heading
towards the too long section. But then, yeah,
you've got Men in Black International, which
runs at 1 hour 54 minutes. Oh, this is going
to be tough. Yeah. Especially if I think it's
shit. I'm not going to want to watch the whole
thing. Yeah, I mean... Well, I'm going to go
into it not thinking it's shit, just because
you don't like it. I'm going to go into it thinking...
Yeah, well, don't get me wrong. Hopefully it's
good. It's got some good castings. So you've
got Chris Hemsworth, you've got Tessa Thompson
are our main two characters. You've got Kumail
Nanjiani, which is the bloke that played the
fire person in the latest Ghostbusters. Oh, he's
done low, in fact. I load up his profile very
quickly. He's been in all sorts. Big Sick, Life
As We Know It, Stuber. Oh, he's been just in
tons. Absolutely tons. I thought she was in Ragnarok.
She's Valkyrie. You've got Rebecca Ferguson,
Emma Thompson, Liam Neeson. Liam Neeson, isn't
it? Yeah, he plays Agent High T. I mean, there's
a lot of people in it. But... I just remember
being very disappointed by it. So I will look
forward to watching it. I may have walked into
the cinema with too high an expectation of it.
So re -watching it may give me a different lease
and a different view to it. So would this have
been the first time that these two worked together?
Because she's obviously in Thor with him. So
would this have been the first time they worked
together, do we think? No. Let me have a... Hang
on. So yes, of course, yes, you're right. She
was... She's Valkyrie in Thor. She is Valkyrie
and Thor. So Thor Ragnarok was 2017, so that's
two years before this. So they worked together
in Thor before they worked together on this.
Then they were in this together. Oh, that's interesting.
She's in Asgard's Wrath 2, the game. Yeah, I
did just see that, yeah. That makes me feel sick,
that game. Yeah, it makes me feel very, very,
very ill. But anyway... Men in Black International.
I think it's a good choice of a film. Yeah, wicked.
No. No. Yes. No. Yes. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.
Oh. Your helmet is so big. Lord Helmet. What?
You're needed on the bridge, sir. Knock on my
door. Knock next time. Yes, sir. Did you see
anything? No, sir. I didn't see you playing with
your dolls again. Good. That's it. Thank you,
