00:00:02.329 --> 00:00:06.530
When a man's an empty cattle He should be on

00:00:06.530 --> 00:00:17.170
his mettle And yet I'm torn apart I'm crazy as

00:00:17.170 --> 00:00:22.969
a loon. Sometimes I suspect I'm not who I think

00:00:22.969 --> 00:00:25.829
I am. Like maybe I died a long time ago and somebody

00:00:25.829 --> 00:00:28.429
took my brain and stuck it in this body. You're

00:00:28.429 --> 00:00:30.710
implying that a group composed entirely of female

00:00:30.710 --> 00:00:34.189
animals will... breathe? This isn't part of my

00:00:34.189 --> 00:00:39.909
program. I'm a doctor, not a doorstop. Do you

00:00:39.909 --> 00:00:42.570
have an impact drill? Uh, yeah, over on the rack.

00:00:42.750 --> 00:00:54.340
Thank you. Oh, it's a stretch. Hello and welcome

00:00:54.340 --> 00:00:57.679
to the Untitled Sci -Fi Show. Hello. How's it

00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:00.600
going? Yeah, not too bad. Dude, how are you doing?

00:01:00.899 --> 00:01:04.540
I'm pretty good. I'm pretty good. Look, firstly,

00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:07.599
I want to say a big thank you to Ross from Who

00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:09.620
Takes Socks Off for his little cameo at the end

00:01:09.620 --> 00:01:13.299
of the last episode. I've still not got there.

00:01:13.340 --> 00:01:15.400
I'm about 15 minutes off the end at the moment.

00:01:21.469 --> 00:01:25.290
Let me get this out. Any podcast that I edit,

00:01:25.489 --> 00:01:30.450
let's say, the last thing is that Star Trek beep.

00:01:30.750 --> 00:01:33.489
If you haven't heard that yet, it's not the end.

00:01:33.750 --> 00:01:37.230
So always, even after the outro and then the

00:01:37.230 --> 00:01:40.010
Studio Channel 84 noise, if you don't hear that,

00:01:40.049 --> 00:01:42.709
I think it's just like the comm ending noise

00:01:42.709 --> 00:01:45.150
or something from Star Trek, it's not the end.

00:01:45.969 --> 00:01:49.390
Yeah, I think I've even done a... One of my naughty

00:01:49.390 --> 00:01:51.569
ones where there's almost like five minutes of

00:01:51.569 --> 00:01:55.150
silence. I'm sure I've done something like that

00:01:55.150 --> 00:01:56.629
on one of my... But the funny thing is, is that

00:01:56.629 --> 00:01:58.790
was not intentional. No, it probably would have

00:01:58.790 --> 00:02:00.829
been. I'm sure there is one where I've got a

00:02:00.829 --> 00:02:02.810
massive amount of silence, then something, and

00:02:02.810 --> 00:02:06.950
then it... It might be the one where I did the

00:02:06.950 --> 00:02:09.710
singing, you know, we did the Barbie singing.

00:02:09.949 --> 00:02:13.409
Oh, yes. That might be where I did something

00:02:13.409 --> 00:02:15.169
on that and had a long silence and then did loads

00:02:15.169 --> 00:02:17.430
of outtakes. Might be that. I can't remember.

00:02:17.979 --> 00:02:20.400
No, fair enough. Anyway, so that's number one.

00:02:20.659 --> 00:02:23.780
Number two, I've got your birthday present at

00:02:23.780 --> 00:02:27.180
fucking last. Hurrah! He didn't get sniped on

00:02:27.180 --> 00:02:30.500
eBay. No. So putting this in the intro intro.

00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:35.560
Let me just grab it. So two items. It's an M

00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:39.740
&S bag. I went to Marks and Spencer's. This is

00:02:39.740 --> 00:02:44.379
not just food. It's a birthday present. So I'll

00:02:44.379 --> 00:02:47.360
explain it as you're opening. So one. One's a

00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:51.819
book. Ooh, okay. Doctor Who, Where's the Doctor?

00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:55.120
I grew up, and actually I spent a lot of time

00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:56.620
at secondary school because we had them all in

00:02:56.620 --> 00:02:58.759
our library at secondary school doing the Where's

00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:00.719
Wallys. I loved them, yeah. I loved Where's Wallys.

00:03:00.740 --> 00:03:02.560
Oh, look, there's the little ladder pose. Yeah,

00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:05.000
so it's Where's Wally, but it's Matt Smith's

00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.840
Doctor Who. Oh, I like that. Oh, there's Karen,

00:03:08.020 --> 00:03:11.740
still looking hot as a cartoon. Nice. Yeah, okay,

00:03:11.900 --> 00:03:15.080
I love that. I absolutely love that. And now

00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.780
there's a box. Well, I hope I've got the right

00:03:17.780 --> 00:03:19.860
one, or at least something that you like, and

00:03:19.860 --> 00:03:22.120
I'll explain it once you open it. I'm sure you

00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:30.000
have. Oh! Now that is a super -sized erection

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.460
going on. It's got the original stickers on it

00:03:32.460 --> 00:03:35.539
too, which I quite enjoyed. Oh, mate. Is it the

00:03:35.539 --> 00:03:38.479
right one? Right, OK. That's what I'm keen to

00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:40.259
say, because we talked about this. I'm not going

00:03:40.259 --> 00:03:42.560
to say what it is yet. And I couldn't remember

00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:44.620
which one of the three you said you liked the

00:03:44.620 --> 00:03:47.759
best, so I just went for that one. I loved all

00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:50.400
three of these. I'm not including the fourth

00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:52.379
one because it's just... I didn't mention the

00:03:52.379 --> 00:03:57.099
fourth. Exactly. This... Oh, my God. This is

00:03:57.099 --> 00:04:00.000
just... Number one, it's just absolutely glorious.

00:04:00.979 --> 00:04:03.539
And... OK. I could drag this on and make them

00:04:03.539 --> 00:04:05.939
not know what it is. But actually, I will do.

00:04:06.020 --> 00:04:09.139
The EB pricing on it. The electronics booting.

00:04:09.139 --> 00:04:12.860
The original scribble EB. Low price guarantee.

00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:18.360
PC game and 96 % the best game ever. Those labels

00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:21.740
alone just immediately take me back to the days

00:04:21.740 --> 00:04:23.639
of looking at computer games going, oh, this

00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:28.959
is so cool. And oh, this is absolutely fucking

00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:35.860
amazing. This is... quake 2 in a big box i don't

00:04:35.860 --> 00:04:38.319
even care about the game disc it's in a big box

00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.519
the big box is all i care about because you know

00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:44.740
what the day big the day oh it's got a manual

00:04:44.740 --> 00:04:47.120
it's got also the other document that always

00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:51.230
comes with it oh yes the product registration

00:04:51.230 --> 00:04:53.829
because of course we all did that let's tuck

00:04:53.829 --> 00:04:55.689
that back in the box like every other person

00:04:55.689 --> 00:04:58.029
under the sun except for the one called barry

00:04:58.029 --> 00:05:01.449
who sends them all in um oh this is the sort

00:05:01.449 --> 00:05:03.930
of thing we would have sat i wouldn't have actually

00:05:03.930 --> 00:05:06.009
around quake 2 i didn't have a pc at quake 2

00:05:06.009 --> 00:05:10.350
uh i played this far later but um this is the

00:05:10.350 --> 00:05:12.529
era that manuals came with games and you would

00:05:12.529 --> 00:05:15.269
have sat on the bus and poured through it until

00:05:15.269 --> 00:05:20.259
you got home and play so Just having the story.

00:05:20.939 --> 00:05:24.459
Yo, soldier 3585, the medtech's voice startles

00:05:24.459 --> 00:05:27.560
you. You in or out. There's an entire story to

00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.579
this. Oh, my God. How long is the story? Installation.

00:05:30.620 --> 00:05:34.399
Oh, look at that. Double click on setup .exe

00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:40.459
at the root level of the CD. For updates to Quatu,

00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:44.019
please refer to www .idsoftware .com. Do you

00:05:44.019 --> 00:05:46.220
reckon they're still there? There is just no

00:05:46.220 --> 00:05:47.980
automated updates. You could have put this in

00:05:47.980 --> 00:05:49.980
your computer and just played it straight away.

00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:52.360
They used to just work out the box nine times

00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:54.180
out of ten, didn't they? Nine times out of ten.

00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:56.699
Black and white. Oh, black and white didn't.

00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.100
You had to download a patch to get to the final

00:05:59.100 --> 00:06:02.259
level of that. Theme Hospital had the same issue.

00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:04.720
a large number of people that had Theme Hospital

00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.879
could not play the final level. It would always

00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:10.600
crash out. Well, as we found out from also your

00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:13.540
theme park game, it has an extra printout in

00:06:13.540 --> 00:06:16.459
it. Oh, God, yes, it did, didn't it? For people

00:06:16.459 --> 00:06:18.439
who had Windows 96 or whatever it was complaining

00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:22.740
about. Oh, this is just absolutely glorious.

00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:29.800
This is, as a big box era, I'm so sad that the

00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:33.670
big box era is gone. I mean, I would even, even

00:06:33.670 --> 00:06:36.290
now, if they said Xbox, by the way, you're not

00:06:36.290 --> 00:06:37.790
going to get in a DVD case. You're going to get

00:06:37.790 --> 00:06:40.870
in a big box from now. I'd be happy. Yeah. I

00:06:40.870 --> 00:06:44.670
would just, it's just, it's luxurious. I know

00:06:44.670 --> 00:06:47.509
it was a huge waste and we didn't need it, but

00:06:47.509 --> 00:06:50.529
oh, wow. I'm just looking at the bad guys here.

00:06:50.610 --> 00:06:53.089
This was just such a good game as well. I only

00:06:53.089 --> 00:06:56.250
recently completed it on the Xbox Game Pass.

00:06:56.449 --> 00:06:58.670
Oh, really? I powered my way through Quake 1.

00:06:59.410 --> 00:07:02.029
which I also had never completed. I'd never had

00:07:02.029 --> 00:07:05.889
a chance to. Then I completed Quake 2, and then

00:07:05.889 --> 00:07:08.470
I, as normal, ended up playing hours and hours

00:07:08.470 --> 00:07:12.589
of Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament. We should install

00:07:12.589 --> 00:07:17.470
it on your old PC. So I've got two old PCs. So

00:07:17.470 --> 00:07:21.329
the Pentium... Hang on a moment. The laptop one

00:07:21.329 --> 00:07:25.310
down there. I've got two laptops. I've got an

00:07:25.310 --> 00:07:30.100
old Pentium 2 MMX. which I've upgraded as much

00:07:30.100 --> 00:07:31.959
as I can, and I've stuck an SD card in it as

00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:34.819
a hard drive. Let me have a look here. 95, so

00:07:34.819 --> 00:07:37.339
yeah, that's running 98 second edition. The best.

00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:41.560
Only a Pentium 90 megahertz. That's interesting.

00:07:41.699 --> 00:07:45.720
Okay, yeah, so I can spunk all over that. The

00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:48.019
issue is, of course, it's not got a graphic card,

00:07:48.139 --> 00:07:50.420
so it would have to be in software mode, which

00:07:50.420 --> 00:07:53.420
is, again, it'd be fine. It's got a lovely screen

00:07:53.420 --> 00:07:57.480
on that. But I have got the... newer laptop there

00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:00.319
running windows 2000 and that has got a graphics

00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:02.899
card that's got an ati rage in it so i'd be able

00:08:02.899 --> 00:08:06.519
to do things like gl quake so we will have to

00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:10.699
have a play but that is just oh just looking

00:08:10.699 --> 00:08:14.300
at even remembering sitting in a shop and reading

00:08:14.300 --> 00:08:16.560
oh the back of the box is looking at the minimum

00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:19.600
specs and not really knowing what they are just

00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:22.500
going oh i wonder if i could run that when i

00:08:22.500 --> 00:08:26.300
had a pc that is Oh, a quad -speed CD drive required

00:08:26.300 --> 00:08:31.519
that has 600 kilobytes a second sustained transfer

00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:36.779
rate. Hard disk space, 250 megabytes uncompressed

00:08:36.779 --> 00:08:39.940
required. You imagine that on an Xbox game now.

00:08:40.059 --> 00:08:44.539
You need 250 gigs free. Did they used to just

00:08:44.539 --> 00:08:47.350
use the disk after that for authentication? So

00:08:47.350 --> 00:08:48.710
you install it on your computer and then they

00:08:48.710 --> 00:08:51.309
authenticate from the disk. Not all. Some install

00:08:51.309 --> 00:08:54.990
directly to the PC and you didn't need the disk.

00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:57.620
Some installed to the PC, but you needed the

00:08:57.620 --> 00:09:00.500
disc for authentication. And some installed to

00:09:00.500 --> 00:09:03.220
the PC, but you also needed the disc because

00:09:03.220 --> 00:09:05.179
the disc would have things like the cut scenes,

00:09:05.379 --> 00:09:08.179
which would run smoother off the disc, weirdly,

00:09:08.179 --> 00:09:11.399
than off the hard drive in the early days. So,

00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:13.539
yeah, some of it was authentication. Some of

00:09:13.539 --> 00:09:15.460
it was because some of the game was on the disc

00:09:15.460 --> 00:09:18.779
to make you need the disc. But, yeah, a lot of

00:09:18.779 --> 00:09:20.580
that's down to piracy. I remember because also

00:09:20.580 --> 00:09:25.210
you used to have the code inside them. Where

00:09:25.210 --> 00:09:27.009
was it? I'm sure I brought a game. So yeah, Half

00:09:27.009 --> 00:09:29.330
-Life. Half -Life and Half -Life. I don't know

00:09:29.330 --> 00:09:31.509
about Half -Life 2, but Half -Life, you'd have

00:09:31.509 --> 00:09:33.669
the CD jewel case and inside it, you'd have a

00:09:33.669 --> 00:09:37.730
little white oblong and it would be a 24 -digit

00:09:37.730 --> 00:09:40.309
sort of license key number that you'd have to

00:09:40.309 --> 00:09:42.090
type in. And obviously, that's where Steam kind

00:09:42.090 --> 00:09:44.330
of appeared. You install Half -Life and then

00:09:44.330 --> 00:09:46.370
it'd be, what's your CD key? And you'd type it

00:09:46.370 --> 00:09:48.289
in and it would go off to the server and authenticate

00:09:48.289 --> 00:09:51.090
it. I remember buying a game from Game Station

00:09:51.090 --> 00:09:54.629
once and... or maybe it was electronic boutique

00:09:54.629 --> 00:09:56.649
actually and it didn't have the code inside i

00:09:56.649 --> 00:09:58.529
had to go take it back and ask for it and it

00:09:58.529 --> 00:10:00.549
took a lot to get them to believe me that in

00:10:00.549 --> 00:10:02.570
there didn't come with a code someone who clearly

00:10:02.570 --> 00:10:04.789
had gone in the box because they were the boxes

00:10:04.789 --> 00:10:06.750
that were on the shelf were the ones they would

00:10:06.750 --> 00:10:10.070
give you and then put the disc in so clearly

00:10:10.070 --> 00:10:12.309
someone had just gone and took the box off opened

00:10:12.309 --> 00:10:15.029
it up to the code and fucked off yeah oh well

00:10:15.029 --> 00:10:17.950
here you go look this is uh Minimum install additional

00:10:17.950 --> 00:10:20.309
requirements. If you want to play from CD -ROM,

00:10:20.409 --> 00:10:22.830
you only need 25 megabytes of hard drive space.

00:10:22.830 --> 00:10:24.809
That's not much, is it? So a lot of the game

00:10:24.809 --> 00:10:26.789
must have been streamed from the disc. I've taken

00:10:26.789 --> 00:10:29.909
photos bigger than that. Normal install additional

00:10:29.909 --> 00:10:34.309
requirements. Play from hard disk, 250. Maximum

00:10:34.309 --> 00:10:36.649
install additional requirements. Play from hard

00:10:36.649 --> 00:10:39.769
disk, 400 megs of uncompressed. Again, probably

00:10:39.769 --> 00:10:41.509
taking photos bigger than that too. It was copying

00:10:41.509 --> 00:10:47.419
all of the music. videos fmb onto the hard drive

00:10:47.419 --> 00:10:49.840
then so if you had the space it was wonderful

00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:53.539
but honestly mate this is this is just beyond

00:10:53.539 --> 00:10:57.320
wonderful um oh i like this this product is intended

00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:00.539
for sale outside north america only and will

00:11:00.539 --> 00:11:03.360
not function on north american operating systems

00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:08.539
yeah well shut up say what i'd love to know how

00:11:08.539 --> 00:11:13.519
they did that that's bullshit that is 100 percent

00:11:33.179 --> 00:11:37.299
I can't breathe in this thing! Oh, I'm going

00:11:37.299 --> 00:11:39.580
to have to do little cuts as I kind of stretch

00:11:39.580 --> 00:11:41.940
over that record button back again. I don't know

00:11:41.940 --> 00:11:44.860
why it's so far away from me today. So, guess

00:11:44.860 --> 00:11:48.899
the intro. Guess the intro. Right, so I did bolt

00:11:48.899 --> 00:11:51.519
it up. I told everyone it was an 80s one. Valentino

00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:54.200
corrected me. It was 90s. It was 90s, yes. I

00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:56.240
got confused. I thought I was doing two 80s,

00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:58.539
but actually I'm doing two 90s. So the one you

00:11:58.539 --> 00:11:59.620
would have heard at the beginning of this is

00:11:59.620 --> 00:12:03.240
also a 90s one. Are you sure? I am sure. I have

00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:07.429
it written down. I have it written here. So we

00:12:07.429 --> 00:12:12.129
had a winner. We have a wiener. We had a wiener.

00:12:12.509 --> 00:12:16.570
A very lovely chap who's recently got in contact

00:12:16.570 --> 00:12:20.730
with us. His name is James. Hi, James. Hi, James.

00:12:21.090 --> 00:12:24.929
So he got every single one correct. Absolutely

00:12:24.929 --> 00:12:26.929
brilliant. First time he's tried. I think it

00:12:26.929 --> 00:12:31.919
was the first show of the Untouchable Show. Yeah,

00:12:32.100 --> 00:12:36.539
hang on a moment. Untitled sci -fi show. That

00:12:36.539 --> 00:12:38.320
he's listened to and he got it right straight

00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:43.960
away. He can be found on Blue Sky at jimbo8e6

00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:48.240
.bluesky .social. Yes. Yeah, go follow him. Go

00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:51.460
say hello. He loves ZX Spectrum stuff. Got chatting

00:12:51.460 --> 00:12:53.919
with us, didn't he, about cover art and things.

00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:57.149
Obviously a big fan for me then because... The

00:12:57.149 --> 00:12:59.370
ZX Spectrum is what I grew up with. Yeah. And

00:12:59.370 --> 00:13:01.409
that's my favourite all -time machine, which

00:13:01.409 --> 00:13:03.649
is why I play it all the time still. So, yeah,

00:13:03.690 --> 00:13:06.429
if anybody's into ZX Spectrum, and particularly

00:13:06.429 --> 00:13:08.389
the art, go follow him, Blue Sky. Have a chat

00:13:08.389 --> 00:13:10.970
with him. He's a lovely, lovely fellow. Absolutely.

00:13:11.309 --> 00:13:15.490
Right. So, let's get on with it, mister. Let

00:13:15.490 --> 00:13:18.629
me get the file open on my phone here. You ready?

00:13:19.350 --> 00:13:22.799
I'm ready. Why did you judge me? You killed innocent

00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:25.200
people. The means to an end. You started a massacre.

00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:27.299
I caused a revolution. You betrayed the law.

00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:34.940
Law. I love that. Law. I am the law. Yeah. Go

00:13:34.940 --> 00:13:38.419
on then. It's easy. It's such an easy one. Judge

00:13:38.419 --> 00:13:42.159
Dredd. And as James put, the Stallone one. Just

00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:44.379
in case you hadn't got it. In case you didn't

00:13:44.379 --> 00:13:45.980
guess. Right. Next one. Although I was saying

00:13:45.980 --> 00:13:47.779
that the modern Judge Dredd is fucking brilliant.

00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:50.100
And they are finally talking about a sequel to

00:13:50.100 --> 00:13:52.500
it. So. I did actually watch something on YouTube

00:13:52.500 --> 00:13:54.879
about that. He said, what's the guy's name again?

00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:57.919
He played him in the new one. Oh, Keith Urban.

00:13:58.059 --> 00:14:00.700
Yeah. He said to them, he doesn't want to take

00:14:00.700 --> 00:14:03.700
the helmet off. And he basically stayed in character

00:14:03.700 --> 00:14:05.600
all the time. Yeah. Yeah, he did loads of stuff.

00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:08.279
He was like, part of why that film is as good

00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:11.580
as it is, is basically all thanks to him. Not

00:14:11.580 --> 00:14:14.000
Keith, Carl Urban. Carl Urban, yeah. Is it Carl?

00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:16.139
Something like that. We all know who he is. He

00:14:16.139 --> 00:14:19.330
played... Dr. McCoy in the modern Star Trek.

00:14:19.370 --> 00:14:21.750
And he's in The Boys. He's brilliant. He is such

00:14:21.750 --> 00:14:23.830
a good actor. Whatever he gets himself into,

00:14:23.909 --> 00:14:27.409
he's just really good at. And Dredd, he was fucking

00:14:27.409 --> 00:14:29.549
awesome. He was great. And it definitely deserves

00:14:29.549 --> 00:14:31.950
a sequel, as long as they let him do what they

00:14:31.950 --> 00:14:42.509
did in the first one. Independence Day. Independence

00:14:42.509 --> 00:14:50.759
Day. What bit? The world just crashed then. Yeah,

00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:52.940
it's the final fight scene. The final fight scene,

00:14:53.019 --> 00:14:56.779
yeah. Just before he flies his jet into the spaceship.

00:14:56.980 --> 00:14:59.580
So, did you know there's an alternate ending?

00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:04.419
Does he get bummed by the aliens? Yeah, he gets

00:15:04.419 --> 00:15:06.519
caught and probed. Because that's his problem,

00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:08.220
isn't it? That's all we wanted to do. He keeps

00:15:08.220 --> 00:15:10.000
running away from us. We'll leave your world

00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:11.559
alone now. That's why we were drilling. We were

00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:14.830
trying to show him what we wanted to do. That's

00:15:14.830 --> 00:15:19.990
a massive euphemism. No, so if you read the book,

00:15:19.990 --> 00:15:22.409
which I have done, I know I don't read much,

00:15:22.509 --> 00:15:25.509
but I have, the ending of the book, and they

00:15:25.509 --> 00:15:27.909
did film this version and it didn't test very

00:15:27.909 --> 00:15:30.570
well. Okay. The ending of the book is they won't

00:15:30.570 --> 00:15:34.549
let him get in a jet. Oh, why? Well, because

00:15:34.549 --> 00:15:36.789
he's a fucking drunk, but he still saves the

00:15:36.789 --> 00:15:39.750
day because in the end of the book, he gets the

00:15:39.750 --> 00:15:43.179
crop. the one that he does the crop dusting with,

00:15:43.259 --> 00:15:45.980
and he straps a warhead to that and flies that

00:15:45.980 --> 00:15:47.220
into the middle of the aircraft. Oh, that's quite

00:15:47.220 --> 00:15:50.779
cool. Yeah, that's a bit more on character as

00:15:50.779 --> 00:15:52.379
well, isn't it? Exactly. That's actually more

00:15:52.379 --> 00:15:54.879
on character with him than him basically. Yeah,

00:15:55.019 --> 00:15:59.360
I'm a drunk. I flew really old jet aircraft back

00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:04.500
in like the... It'd be Narm. Yeah, Narm. I'm

00:16:04.500 --> 00:16:06.220
sure I can get into a modern technical jet and

00:16:06.220 --> 00:16:08.340
still fly it, though. Oh, yeah, I'm sure this

00:16:08.340 --> 00:16:10.399
is the same. Let's just stick you in a crop duster

00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:12.220
with a missile strapped to the wing and two...

00:16:12.220 --> 00:16:14.519
And that's how it ended, and they did film that.

00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:16.740
I don't know if it's actually available anywhere.

00:16:16.759 --> 00:16:18.500
I don't know if it was on an extra on the DVD,

00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:21.820
but, yeah. It'll be somewhere. More than likely.

00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:26.519
Well, I'll be damned. It's the gentleman guppy.

00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:31.100
Little short one there. It's the gentleman guppy.

00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:34.399
It's Waterworld. I don't know why I've gone like

00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:35.759
this. I don't know because he doesn't do that

00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:39.100
voice either. No, he doesn't. I quite like Waterworld.

00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:41.559
I like Waterworld. Kevin Costner in it's pretty

00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:46.860
good. Let me put it like this. Kevin Costner's

00:16:46.860 --> 00:16:49.220
entire acting of Waterworld, whether you like

00:16:49.220 --> 00:16:53.740
it or not, is still that single film on its own

00:16:53.740 --> 00:16:57.519
in its entirety is better than watching Kevin

00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:00.240
Costner. Telling Superman, no, don't use your

00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:02.200
super speed and come and save me. Before he gets

00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:05.240
whisked off into the tornado in whichever Superman

00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:09.059
film that is. One of the Zack Snyder ones. His

00:17:09.059 --> 00:17:11.480
dad gets sucked off into a tornado. And rather

00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:13.680
than letting Superman come and save him, he's

00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:16.359
just like, no, you stay there. You stay there,

00:17:16.440 --> 00:17:20.319
son. Yeah. It's terrible. It's an awful scene.

00:17:23.380 --> 00:17:28.740
Fifth element. It's still going. Unbelievable!

00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:36.359
A little glimpse into the next one there. We

00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:38.400
know that one as well. So Fifth Element, yeah,

00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:40.859
what a wonderful film Fifth Element is. It is.

00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:44.660
It's a real classic. There's the meme, isn't

00:17:44.660 --> 00:17:46.240
it? If you don't know what these four stones

00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:48.740
are from, blah, blah, blah, and it's always the

00:17:48.740 --> 00:17:50.599
bloody pillars of the stone showing earth, wind,

00:17:50.660 --> 00:17:53.039
fire and whatever else it is. It's just a really

00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:56.099
good film. I haven't watched it in years, though.

00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:58.599
Had it on VHS, bought it from HMV when they used

00:17:58.599 --> 00:18:01.960
to do the buy five VHS for £20 sort of offer,

00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:05.200
just as DVD was kind of kicking off. Yeah. But,

00:18:05.220 --> 00:18:08.380
yeah, I must watch that again. Well, maybe it'll

00:18:08.380 --> 00:18:15.180
turn up one day on here. Ooh, true. I am the

00:18:15.180 --> 00:18:21.720
Martian ambassador. We come in peace. So he actually

00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:23.539
says we come in peace like three times, I think,

00:18:23.539 --> 00:18:25.140
which is the more iconic way of doing it, but

00:18:25.140 --> 00:18:27.660
I needed time. It has to be less than 60 seconds

00:18:27.660 --> 00:18:29.339
for it to work on blue skies. Yeah, well, that's

00:18:29.339 --> 00:18:31.660
fair enough. Well, that was Mars Attacks. Yeah.

00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:36.099
Again, we have spoken about it before. I have

00:18:36.099 --> 00:18:40.700
the Italian copy on Blu -ray. I think when we

00:18:40.700 --> 00:18:42.319
get around to that, we'll just have to sit together

00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:47.079
and watch your version. It's like I've got the

00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:49.779
Polish... You've got the Polish John Wick? John

00:18:49.779 --> 00:18:54.160
Wick. I was like, why is everything subtitled?

00:18:54.259 --> 00:18:56.279
I don't think the English bit's subtitled. Hang

00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:57.839
on a moment, I don't remember John Wick being

00:18:57.839 --> 00:18:59.960
a subtitled film. Yeah, because it doesn't subtitle...

00:18:59.960 --> 00:19:01.579
Is he on a foreign mission? Because it doesn't

00:19:01.579 --> 00:19:04.119
subtitle when the other guys are talking. Because

00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:06.160
I was just like, this is so confusing to me.

00:19:20.629 --> 00:19:23.990
Now, when I first heard this, I thought, there's

00:19:23.990 --> 00:19:28.769
no way he's pulled out a Galaxy Quest clip again.

00:19:29.089 --> 00:19:32.529
No. And then you hear Will Smith speak, and it's

00:19:32.529 --> 00:19:33.950
like, oh, well, it's Men in Black. Men in Black,

00:19:33.970 --> 00:19:36.210
yeah. One of my favourite scenes from the film,

00:19:36.230 --> 00:19:38.309
I've got to say, because everyone's been in a

00:19:38.309 --> 00:19:40.690
situation like that, where they've got to do

00:19:40.690 --> 00:19:43.369
something in a quiet environment. They know it's

00:19:43.369 --> 00:19:48.150
going to make a lot of noise. Yeah. Well, there's

00:19:48.150 --> 00:19:52.019
a lyric from... Oh, God, what's it called? There's

00:19:52.019 --> 00:19:56.259
a Barenaked Ladies song. I'm going to have to

00:19:56.259 --> 00:19:57.720
look up the name, otherwise it's going to bug

00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:06.400
me. Hang on. Oh, come on. Of course it's in my

00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:14.700
library. Barenaked Ladies. No. No. One Week.

00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:17.039
There we go. And there's a lyric in it where

00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:19.630
he says... It's going on about if you can't understand

00:20:19.630 --> 00:20:22.490
what I mean, well, you soon will. And the lyric

00:20:22.490 --> 00:20:27.269
before that is trying not to laugh at a funeral.

00:20:27.549 --> 00:20:29.750
Try not to laugh at a funeral, Dan. It can't

00:20:29.750 --> 00:20:33.950
understand, but you soon will. And it's like,

00:20:34.109 --> 00:20:37.410
I know exactly. I'm the kind of guy that laughs

00:20:37.410 --> 00:20:39.769
at a funeral. Can't understand what I mean, well,

00:20:39.789 --> 00:20:42.650
you soon will. And yeah, since hearing that,

00:20:42.710 --> 00:20:44.710
I now sit there at a funeral. It's quite, it's

00:20:44.710 --> 00:20:48.869
like. Oh, shit. Here come the giggles. Yeah.

00:20:49.309 --> 00:20:52.690
So that's it. Well done, everybody. James, particularly

00:20:52.690 --> 00:20:57.289
wonderful work. And, you know, send your answers

00:20:57.289 --> 00:20:59.109
in for the one you heard at the start of this

00:20:59.109 --> 00:21:01.269
show. I could make you do some work now, couldn't

00:21:01.269 --> 00:21:06.589
I? I mean... I'm just making you beep out all

00:21:06.589 --> 00:21:09.750
these names now in editing. Oh, fuck, fuck, fuck.

00:21:10.150 --> 00:21:13.869
There's only one man who would dare give me the

00:21:13.869 --> 00:21:20.490
raspberry. Lone Star! Gary? Gary? Who the fuck

00:21:20.490 --> 00:21:22.849
is Gary? Oh, what a song. I listened to that

00:21:22.849 --> 00:21:26.630
the other day. Alice? Who the fuck is Alice?

00:21:27.789 --> 00:21:30.849
Right, what have you been up to? You been watching

00:21:30.849 --> 00:21:35.400
anything? You know what? I have. Finally, I've

00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:37.220
been really busy at work and there's been a few

00:21:37.220 --> 00:21:39.200
family things and helping out my brother. So

00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:42.759
there's not been much time to do much. Not even

00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:44.400
jump back on Helldivers, which I'm disappointed

00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:46.279
about. And Super Earth has nearly fallen, by

00:21:46.279 --> 00:21:48.700
the way. Oh, has it? It's around one city left

00:21:48.700 --> 00:21:50.799
out of eight. Oh, we're going to have to play

00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:52.380
it. So I don't know what they'll do. If Super

00:21:52.380 --> 00:21:53.880
Earth falls, do you think they'll just say, well,

00:21:53.940 --> 00:21:57.259
Helldivers 2 is finished, game over? I don't

00:21:57.259 --> 00:22:01.609
know. And they'll re -spark the universe? No,

00:22:01.609 --> 00:22:04.450
so we have the, you probably haven't seen it,

00:22:04.509 --> 00:22:06.990
we have a space station. Oh. Which is like an

00:22:06.990 --> 00:22:11.269
operating base that we can vote on where it moves

00:22:11.269 --> 00:22:14.650
to. So I think that'll become the hub, and it'll

00:22:14.650 --> 00:22:17.539
be like, we need to retake Super Earth. And then

00:22:17.539 --> 00:22:19.859
it will be like taking planets on our way back

00:22:19.859 --> 00:22:22.640
to Super Earth. Yeah, fair enough. Okay, so that's

00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:25.480
a plausible answer. So I might have a go on that

00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:28.019
when we finish recording. So I haven't done much

00:22:28.019 --> 00:22:32.380
gaming. However, I have started watching Murderbot.

00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:35.619
Okay. Which is fucking brilliant. It's on Apple

00:22:35.619 --> 00:22:37.880
TV. I've seen the advert for that. It's one of

00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:43.460
the... I can't pronounce their surname. One of

00:22:43.460 --> 00:22:45.059
the brothers. It's one of the brothers because

00:22:45.059 --> 00:22:49.140
it's the same one that was in Boy Kills World.

00:22:49.579 --> 00:22:53.980
Yeah, and It. Yeah, so it just, it's... God,

00:22:54.019 --> 00:22:55.539
what are they called? That's going to warm me

00:22:55.539 --> 00:22:59.319
up. Skarsgård? Skarsgård, well done. It's just

00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:03.000
wonderfully weird. Yeah. And funny and dark.

00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:05.299
Are there three of them, the brothers? I think

00:23:05.299 --> 00:23:08.599
so, yeah. But, yeah, so Murderbot is just...

00:23:09.189 --> 00:23:11.029
It's delightfully clever. It's meant to be based

00:23:11.029 --> 00:23:13.789
on a book. So there's been a lot of people ranting

00:23:13.789 --> 00:23:15.809
and raving as normal that it's not the same as

00:23:15.809 --> 00:23:19.009
the book. Why have you given them a shiny helmet

00:23:19.009 --> 00:23:21.549
that disappears when in the book it's just a

00:23:21.549 --> 00:23:23.289
helmet he can take off? Because it has to be

00:23:23.289 --> 00:23:25.009
adapted for television. Because they don't want

00:23:25.009 --> 00:23:26.630
the actor walking around carrying around wearing

00:23:26.630 --> 00:23:29.910
a helmet and holding a helmet in scenes when

00:23:29.910 --> 00:23:31.789
he's concentrating on every fucking thing else

00:23:31.789 --> 00:23:33.750
under the sun. Because in a book you forget about

00:23:33.750 --> 00:23:35.950
it. Yeah. When you're watching it, you're looking

00:23:35.950 --> 00:23:38.700
at it. Exactly. You want something to look good,

00:23:38.740 --> 00:23:41.640
so it's fine. And the whole premise, I love it

00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:46.920
to bits. The idea is that you've got these cyborg

00:23:46.920 --> 00:23:49.960
sort of robot things that are made of human tissue

00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:53.400
mixed with... well cyborgs robocop sort of things

00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:56.819
um they all have a governor unit which prevents

00:23:56.819 --> 00:24:00.500
them from breaking the rules and this one is

00:24:00.500 --> 00:24:03.279
just so sick of life he's been hacking his and

00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:06.240
eventually manages to bypass it okay and he's

00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:08.759
like well what shall i call myself i could be

00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:14.529
freedom unit no murder bot Yes, and he saves

00:24:14.529 --> 00:24:16.829
his name as Murderbot, and that's it. And then

00:24:16.829 --> 00:24:19.349
he's just half -arsing life. He's out on this

00:24:19.349 --> 00:24:21.930
mission with these people, and the very first

00:24:21.930 --> 00:24:23.670
episode, it's within the first five minutes,

00:24:23.710 --> 00:24:25.670
so it's not ruining the series. The first five

00:24:25.670 --> 00:24:28.650
minutes of the episode, he's there with the people

00:24:28.650 --> 00:24:30.690
he's meant to be protecting on this new planet,

00:24:30.730 --> 00:24:34.390
and he's like, shit, I should have detected that

00:24:34.390 --> 00:24:36.509
earlier. However, I was watching basically satellite

00:24:36.509 --> 00:24:39.450
TV because I couldn't give a shit about these

00:24:39.450 --> 00:24:42.579
people. Oh, right. Because he's just bypassed

00:24:42.579 --> 00:24:44.539
all of his kind of... But the point is, is there's

00:24:44.539 --> 00:24:46.799
a lot going on in it. And what I like is it's

00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:49.299
a bit like Resident Alien. Yeah. So they've thrown

00:24:49.299 --> 00:24:51.160
humour in there and you think straight up, oh,

00:24:51.180 --> 00:24:53.680
it's going to be funny. But then you suddenly

00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:55.079
realise, actually, there's quite a lot of depth

00:24:55.079 --> 00:24:57.019
and there's actually mystery involved in this

00:24:57.019 --> 00:25:00.960
now as well. So actually, this could be rather

00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:04.380
interesting. So there's about four or five different

00:25:04.380 --> 00:25:06.240
spokes of the story that are kind of expanding

00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:10.579
off at the moment. And it could all end in comedy,

00:25:10.740 --> 00:25:12.900
or it could end in tragedy, or it could end in

00:25:12.900 --> 00:25:15.480
a whole mix. So I'm really enjoying it. I think

00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:18.319
I'm on episode three now, and I'm looking forward

00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:20.880
to putting it on. Yeah. Whereas Doctor Who, I've

00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:22.359
still not gone and bothered to watch episode

00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:24.380
two. We don't wish anymore, right? I've just

00:25:24.380 --> 00:25:27.259
had no wish to. Yeah. So it kind of speaks volumes.

00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:30.700
Yep. Gee beasties, what's happened to his head?

00:25:31.059 --> 00:25:34.779
It's on backwards. This is terrible. Do something.

00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:37.240
I'm sorry, sir. There must have been a microconverter

00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:39.619
malfunction. any of this stuff if anyone called

00:25:39.619 --> 00:25:41.960
that he said sex when i went to press the record

00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:44.799
because he could see me having to completely

00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:47.660
move out the way i know it's great i don't know

00:25:47.660 --> 00:25:49.660
what position i've got myself in maybe they've

00:25:49.660 --> 00:25:52.720
just put that too far away you know a compromising

00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:58.039
position what have i been doing um more mob land

00:25:58.039 --> 00:26:00.299
i'm pretty sure i've mentioned it already yeah

00:26:00.299 --> 00:26:03.480
that's the tom hardy stuff in this yeah so I've

00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:06.420
got like 10 minutes left of episode nine. There's

00:26:06.420 --> 00:26:08.039
only one series, isn't there? Yeah, it's the

00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:10.279
first season. I really recommend you watch it.

00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:14.579
If you like kind of gangstery shows, I think

00:26:14.579 --> 00:26:16.460
it's one of the best ones I've seen, really.

00:26:17.359 --> 00:26:19.759
So that's great. As I said, 10 minutes left of

00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:22.319
episode nine. Haven't seen The Last of Us, which

00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:24.279
is really frustrating. For whatever reason, Miranda

00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:25.519
hasn't wanted to watch it, even though she loves

00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:28.400
it. Other things have been going on. So we're

00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:30.380
two episodes behind. So basically, I think the

00:26:30.380 --> 00:26:33.049
penultimate and the... ultimate episode of the

00:26:33.049 --> 00:26:36.230
two we haven't watched so i'm like really avoiding

00:26:36.230 --> 00:26:38.990
a lot of social media at the moment so there's

00:26:38.990 --> 00:26:41.509
so much social media going on and it's nothing

00:26:41.509 --> 00:26:44.970
about the episodes it's all being very harsh

00:26:44.970 --> 00:26:47.349
to the girl that's playing the main girl i don't

00:26:47.349 --> 00:26:50.970
get it i very briefly saw a thing having the

00:26:50.970 --> 00:26:53.089
other character the other girl i don't know their

00:26:53.089 --> 00:26:58.119
names um front front and centre with her slightly

00:26:58.119 --> 00:27:00.380
behind. And then your captain was like, don't

00:27:00.380 --> 00:27:01.960
you want to have your main character front and

00:27:01.960 --> 00:27:05.880
centre? I was like, well, probably, but that

00:27:05.880 --> 00:27:08.759
might just be a shot in the show where she's

00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:11.240
not the main character. I'm sorry, I just don't

00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:14.759
get why people hate her. Look, she does not look

00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:18.180
like her. So fucking what? And I'm sorry, but

00:27:18.180 --> 00:27:20.839
if you're saying she doesn't look as good looking

00:27:20.839 --> 00:27:23.119
as the one from the game, you've got problems

00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:25.420
if you're eyeing up a 16 -year -old computer

00:27:25.420 --> 00:27:27.359
game character. I know, right? It's a bit gross

00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:31.559
anyway. But she's a great actor. You meant to

00:27:31.559 --> 00:27:33.880
say actor, aren't we? Actress, actor, whatever.

00:27:33.900 --> 00:27:36.019
I don't know what the term is generically now

00:27:36.019 --> 00:27:37.579
for it. I think it is actor. I'm just going to

00:27:37.579 --> 00:27:41.299
say actor. I think she is a great actor. Which

00:27:41.299 --> 00:27:44.180
is interesting because... A lot of the reviews

00:27:44.180 --> 00:27:46.799
I've seen, and there's a couple of reviews I'm,

00:27:46.900 --> 00:27:50.000
again, not putting all my trust into because

00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:52.380
we know our position on reviewers. We know that

00:27:52.380 --> 00:27:54.700
we don't trust them because it's one person's

00:27:54.700 --> 00:27:58.119
opinion. But what I'm constantly seeing is people

00:27:58.119 --> 00:28:01.339
saying she's a wooden actor and she can be great

00:28:01.339 --> 00:28:04.440
at acting at points, but there's some points

00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:08.119
where she either massively overacts or she massively

00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:11.960
underacts like a plank of wood. so i don't really

00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:13.940
know what to make without watching it for myself

00:28:13.940 --> 00:28:17.339
i don't know but of course these reviews always

00:28:17.339 --> 00:28:20.880
come with cherry picked clips and those clips

00:28:20.880 --> 00:28:23.359
are always fairly i kind of see what you mean

00:28:23.359 --> 00:28:26.180
about being mediocre which isn't fair because

00:28:26.180 --> 00:28:29.599
actually like you say she could be a really good

00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:31.480
actress and actually you're only showing you're

00:28:31.480 --> 00:28:36.339
choosing the bits um oh what's her name um hillary

00:28:36.339 --> 00:28:39.319
swank is a brilliant actress but if i showed

00:28:39.319 --> 00:28:41.619
her showed you just the one clip from the core

00:28:41.619 --> 00:28:48.000
you'd go really she's a main character yeah it's

00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:50.680
it's difficult isn't it yeah um i mean i've heard

00:28:50.680 --> 00:28:53.240
rumor that season three's gonna she's not gonna

00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:55.690
be in it Are they doing a season three? I had

00:28:55.690 --> 00:28:57.869
no idea. Rumour has it that season three is coming

00:28:57.869 --> 00:28:59.309
and they're going to be focusing on a completely

00:28:59.309 --> 00:29:00.950
different character in it. Well, they'd have

00:29:00.950 --> 00:29:02.970
to because there's only two games. I haven't

00:29:02.970 --> 00:29:05.470
finished the second game, so I actually don't

00:29:05.470 --> 00:29:08.130
know what happens. I knew all of the first one

00:29:08.130 --> 00:29:10.769
and they followed it very closely. And this one,

00:29:10.829 --> 00:29:14.569
they have actually made quite a big change from

00:29:14.569 --> 00:29:18.650
the bit of the game that I got up to. I've overtaken

00:29:18.650 --> 00:29:20.390
it in the show, so I need to catch up with the

00:29:20.390 --> 00:29:24.480
game now. see but the point that i was from at

00:29:24.480 --> 00:29:26.180
the end of episode two for the people watch it

00:29:26.180 --> 00:29:30.480
um that is different than the game a very large

00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:33.940
thing is different about somebody going somebody

00:29:33.940 --> 00:29:36.880
leaving the village doesn't happen in the show

00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:40.900
yeah that does happen in the game oh okay so

00:29:40.900 --> 00:29:43.259
and it's quite important character so it'd be

00:29:43.259 --> 00:29:46.839
i'm interested to see how that goes because i'm

00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:49.160
at that point in the show now where it has said

00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:52.400
that that person's there but I want to know what

00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:54.019
happens in the games version of it. So they have,

00:29:54.099 --> 00:29:55.599
I think, I feel like they've made more changes

00:29:55.599 --> 00:29:57.839
in this one than that. But as we just said in

00:29:57.839 --> 00:30:01.160
the last segment, you know, adaptions, you know,

00:30:01.160 --> 00:30:03.819
you have to adapt it to make it work on screen

00:30:03.819 --> 00:30:07.200
to work differently on screen. I think, especially

00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:09.660
if they're planning on a third season and the

00:30:09.660 --> 00:30:12.380
games already said. We're not going to do a third.

00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:14.680
Don't worry. It's nothing to do with us. So you

00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:16.619
now need to take the story in the direction you

00:30:16.619 --> 00:30:18.759
think. The only things I ever get fed up with

00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:21.460
in these things is if a character dies in a book

00:30:21.460 --> 00:30:24.299
or in a game, I think they should die in the

00:30:24.299 --> 00:30:28.460
show. I think aspects like that, pillars of the

00:30:28.460 --> 00:30:33.619
actual story should stay. How you get to that,

00:30:33.740 --> 00:30:37.259
I think probably does need to be changed from

00:30:37.259 --> 00:30:40.400
book. to tv i think it does need to be changed

00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:42.660
because it just won't work you can go on like

00:30:42.660 --> 00:30:47.759
massive three chapter kind of um elaborations

00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:50.640
and stuff in a book well you can't do that in

00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:54.380
a show because the show is 47 and a half minutes

00:30:54.380 --> 00:30:56.480
or whatever they do for shows now you know so

00:30:56.480 --> 00:31:00.640
you've got to make it fit like i know that pierce

00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:08.740
brown who's one of my favorite authors we both

00:31:08.740 --> 00:31:13.519
adore he's supposedly working on adapting it

00:31:13.519 --> 00:31:19.220
for tv now there's this is such a he calls it

00:31:19.220 --> 00:31:22.960
a um a space opera is what he calls it it's so

00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:26.619
huge and and sprawling it's like game of thrones

00:31:26.619 --> 00:31:30.460
level massive it would need like 10 seasons to

00:31:30.460 --> 00:31:32.680
fill every single piece of information and i

00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:34.460
will be that guy if it ever does come out going

00:31:34.460 --> 00:31:35.920
that's not in the book that's not the book that's

00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:39.519
not the book but because he is actually heading

00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:41.700
it, I'm sure it'd be great. Well, that's the

00:31:41.700 --> 00:31:44.259
difference, isn't it? If the person who created

00:31:44.259 --> 00:31:47.940
it is actually doing the series, you would hope

00:31:47.940 --> 00:31:51.099
that they would want their prodigy, their child,

00:31:51.259 --> 00:31:54.839
their creation to carry on in the same ilk that

00:31:54.839 --> 00:31:58.759
they created it to. Whereas when you get these

00:31:58.759 --> 00:32:03.769
TV series that spring up based on... X, Y, Z,

00:32:03.829 --> 00:32:05.930
and that person, all they've done is said, oh,

00:32:05.970 --> 00:32:08.569
we've given you our blessing. That's when it

00:32:08.569 --> 00:32:12.390
goes wrong. Look at Jurassic Park 2. The book

00:32:12.390 --> 00:32:16.450
for Jurassic Park 2 is phenomenal. The film for

00:32:16.450 --> 00:32:20.490
Jurassic Park 2 is pony. And even to an extent,

00:32:20.529 --> 00:32:22.849
I love the first Jurassic Park film, but fuck

00:32:22.849 --> 00:32:25.910
me, the book is so much better. Yeah, Dan Broderill

00:32:25.910 --> 00:32:28.029
always tells me the book for Jurassic Park is

00:32:28.029 --> 00:32:30.410
incredible. The book is way more a horror than

00:32:30.410 --> 00:32:34.720
what you get from... The film. Yeah. Again, adapted

00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:37.940
to work. Spielberg's obviously adapted to work,

00:32:38.180 --> 00:32:40.779
to make money, to be a good show. And it's a

00:32:40.779 --> 00:32:42.940
fucking brilliant film. But yeah, because I have

00:32:42.940 --> 00:32:45.960
no concept of what the book is. One day I'll

00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:49.940
get it on Audible. Just to mirror on. So yeah,

00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:52.660
a little bit more Stardew Valley. A little tiny

00:32:52.660 --> 00:32:54.279
little bit, but I haven't really played anything

00:32:54.279 --> 00:32:57.430
other than Helldivers with you. You know, we've

00:32:57.430 --> 00:33:00.390
already spoken about that. And what Miranda and

00:33:00.390 --> 00:33:01.970
I have been doing is we've gone a little bit

00:33:01.970 --> 00:33:04.470
of a Mission Impossible binge. So we're currently

00:33:04.470 --> 00:33:09.109
on a four Rogue Nation. We just started it. Because

00:33:09.109 --> 00:33:12.230
we're two or three films behind. And considering

00:33:12.230 --> 00:33:14.710
Mission Impossible is one of my favourite film

00:33:14.710 --> 00:33:17.569
franchises, and same with Miranda, it's like

00:33:17.569 --> 00:33:19.329
one of our connections is Mission Impossible.

00:33:20.670 --> 00:33:24.410
We're surprised, I think just T came along. And,

00:33:24.410 --> 00:33:27.099
you know. COVID. Kids change everything. And

00:33:27.099 --> 00:33:28.740
we stopped going to the cinema. You know, I think

00:33:28.740 --> 00:33:31.980
I've been to the cinema only with you since we

00:33:31.980 --> 00:33:34.380
had tea. He's nearly five. So, you know, and

00:33:34.380 --> 00:33:36.319
we used to have a card like you. We'd go every

00:33:36.319 --> 00:33:40.920
week. Yeah. So, yeah, we missed out on kind of

00:33:40.920 --> 00:33:43.279
one of our things that we like to do, which is

00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:45.279
I'd love to go and see Mission Impossible in

00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:47.160
the cinema. So we're a bit behind on that. I

00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:49.180
think the new one's on Netflix. I think the only

00:33:49.180 --> 00:33:50.839
Mission Impossible I ever saw at the cinema was

00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:54.519
Mission Impossible 2. You see, I've always liked

00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:57.039
Mission Impossible 2. John Woo. It's a very different

00:33:57.039 --> 00:33:58.339
film to all the others. It's actually one of

00:33:58.339 --> 00:34:01.019
my least favourite ones because, because I said

00:34:01.019 --> 00:34:02.079
to my wife, she's like, oh, it's my favourite

00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:06.359
one. But I've seen it so many times. I brought

00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:09.840
it on VHS. It was a gold VHS in the bargain bin

00:34:09.840 --> 00:34:12.340
at Saver Centre. Nice. That's when I got it.

00:34:12.659 --> 00:34:17.619
And I've seen it. I wore that VHS out because

00:34:17.619 --> 00:34:20.159
I loved it so much. But now I'm like, when we

00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:22.019
watched it the other day, I'm like. I was kind

00:34:22.019 --> 00:34:24.000
of looking at my phone a bit because I just know

00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:26.860
it. Yeah, okay. Question for you then. Yeah,

00:34:26.880 --> 00:34:27.960
now I'm going to get it wrong. You're going to

00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:30.539
ask me a question about it. No, no, no, no. Should

00:34:30.539 --> 00:34:34.119
Limp Bizkit's song being the title song for that

00:34:34.119 --> 00:34:36.440
or should it have been Metallica, I Disappear?

00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:40.260
It's a really difficult one, isn't it? Because

00:34:40.260 --> 00:34:42.679
obviously... Would it feel the same though if

00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:46.280
it wasn't Limp Bizkit? Limp Bizkit sampled the

00:34:46.280 --> 00:34:49.260
Mission Impossible classic theme. So, okay, fair

00:34:49.260 --> 00:34:52.449
enough. But I Disappear is a great fucking track.

00:34:52.730 --> 00:34:55.929
Yeah. It's got a great music video as well. I

00:34:55.929 --> 00:34:58.630
remember getting I Disappear on CD and having

00:34:58.630 --> 00:35:02.590
the really low bitrate Apple video of it plus

00:35:02.590 --> 00:35:07.269
Apple whatever the... I've got a Mac next to

00:35:07.269 --> 00:35:09.710
me. A lossless version of it. No, they had the

00:35:09.710 --> 00:35:12.369
music video and they always used to give you

00:35:12.369 --> 00:35:17.889
a copy of, not iMovie, QuickTime. Oh, the QuickTime.

00:35:18.130 --> 00:35:19.980
You used to get QuickTime. on the disc as well,

00:35:19.980 --> 00:35:21.579
so you could get the latest version of QuickTime

00:35:21.579 --> 00:35:25.119
to play the Apple QuickTime video. So I remember

00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:27.199
that on the single, but I really enjoyed the

00:35:27.199 --> 00:35:29.539
Metallica version. I don't mind the Limp Bizkit

00:35:29.539 --> 00:35:31.980
song. I can't even remember what theirs was called.

00:35:33.639 --> 00:35:37.719
I don't remember. One thing I've got to say I

00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:40.519
haven't liked, the third film and the fourth,

00:35:40.619 --> 00:35:44.599
Rogue Nation, the intros. It's a cool idea, but

00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:46.440
at the same time it's a bit spoilery. So the

00:35:46.440 --> 00:35:49.199
actual intro, as it's kind of doing the four

00:35:49.199 --> 00:35:52.760
-word credits for the actors and the main producer,

00:35:52.780 --> 00:35:58.300
whatever, it does clips of the film. So you basically

00:35:58.300 --> 00:36:01.460
get a very short clip of the entire film of number

00:36:01.460 --> 00:36:04.679
three in the intro of three. And they did it

00:36:04.679 --> 00:36:08.559
in number four as well. The entire fourth film

00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:14.579
is seen in two -second clips. In the intro, if

00:36:14.579 --> 00:36:16.000
you're watching it for the first time, those

00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:18.000
clips mean nothing to you. But when you have

00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:19.519
actually watched it before and you look at it

00:36:19.519 --> 00:36:21.360
and you think, yeah, that's literally the film

00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:23.000
that you're showing there. A little bit out of

00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:26.019
context, but it is in the right order and showing

00:36:26.019 --> 00:36:29.559
you stuff. So it's kind of like, you know, if

00:36:29.559 --> 00:36:31.500
you're worried about a particular character dying

00:36:31.500 --> 00:36:33.719
in the middle of the film and then he's right

00:36:33.719 --> 00:36:35.760
at the end of one of these little segments, it's

00:36:35.760 --> 00:36:37.079
like, well, there's no jeopardy for that character

00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:39.579
anymore because you know he or she will be alive

00:36:39.579 --> 00:36:42.070
at the end. So it's like... It was Take a Look

00:36:42.070 --> 00:36:48.250
Around by Lil Biscuit. Again, great track. And

00:36:48.250 --> 00:36:51.050
I know what you're saying there. I mean, I remember

00:36:51.050 --> 00:36:52.789
watching the very first Mission Impossible and

00:36:52.789 --> 00:36:55.929
just thinking, I'm a bit bored with this. And

00:36:55.929 --> 00:36:57.909
then actually sitting and watching it the second

00:36:57.909 --> 00:37:01.190
time and giving it a bit more, actually, I'll

00:37:01.190 --> 00:37:04.210
give a damn about it this time and just really

00:37:04.210 --> 00:37:06.610
loving it. It's great watching the first one

00:37:06.610 --> 00:37:08.210
again because I really like the first one. I

00:37:08.210 --> 00:37:10.690
love John Boy. Well, the first one is fantastic.

00:37:11.639 --> 00:37:13.900
purely mission impossible it's exactly as you

00:37:13.900 --> 00:37:17.099
expect it to be and i think that's where maybe

00:37:17.099 --> 00:37:19.300
i don't enjoy the mission impossible franchise

00:37:19.300 --> 00:37:21.440
as much because it just keeps getting more and

00:37:21.440 --> 00:37:24.260
more over the top the first one was perfect there

00:37:24.260 --> 00:37:27.539
was espionage in it it wasn't james bond it was

00:37:27.539 --> 00:37:30.400
mission impossible we had some really funky gadgets

00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:33.809
that kind of really played out nicely That's

00:37:33.809 --> 00:37:36.289
kind of all you needed. But then it kind of started

00:37:36.289 --> 00:37:38.309
getting into two. And again, two was more an

00:37:38.309 --> 00:37:39.909
action film. It was just John Woo being John

00:37:39.909 --> 00:37:42.590
Woo, more than a Mission Impossible film. Then

00:37:42.590 --> 00:37:45.409
three, we really start heading into the territory

00:37:45.409 --> 00:37:48.070
of, okay, this is becoming more science fiction

00:37:48.070 --> 00:37:51.349
than an action kind of adventure. Well, three

00:37:51.349 --> 00:37:53.809
is when he's kind of, he's not an agent anymore.

00:37:53.869 --> 00:37:57.610
He's training the agents, number three. I can't

00:37:57.610 --> 00:37:59.449
remember. Because that's when he gets married.

00:38:00.090 --> 00:38:02.190
Is it? I thought the third one... Again, I couldn't

00:38:02.190 --> 00:38:03.670
even tell you. Because I'm pretty sure... The

00:38:03.670 --> 00:38:06.130
third one's the one that opens with the girl

00:38:06.130 --> 00:38:09.150
dying on the aircraft. He doesn't get to them

00:38:09.150 --> 00:38:11.469
in time and whatever the thing they've stuck

00:38:11.469 --> 00:38:13.070
in her head goes off and it melts her brain.

00:38:13.250 --> 00:38:17.510
And it opens up with the guy from Lost dying.

00:38:19.670 --> 00:38:23.329
And... Is that three? Am I getting them wrong?

00:38:23.530 --> 00:38:26.269
Because my head's mangling them all together.

00:38:26.369 --> 00:38:29.579
I thought the third one... started with the,

00:38:29.679 --> 00:38:32.860
they rescue some agents and there's something

00:38:32.860 --> 00:38:35.880
been stuck in her head. Yeah. And her, basically

00:38:35.880 --> 00:38:39.119
she goes cross -eyed when it goes off. I could

00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:42.119
be wrong. I think, no, yeah, you might be right.

00:38:42.219 --> 00:38:44.579
And I'm getting them mixed up. But you've been

00:38:44.579 --> 00:38:46.239
watching them back. You've been binging them.

00:38:46.280 --> 00:38:48.019
So it wouldn't surprise me if it's got mixed

00:38:48.019 --> 00:38:54.900
up. No, okay, no, number three is, you're right,

00:38:54.980 --> 00:38:56.880
number three is the one where he has the thing

00:38:56.880 --> 00:38:59.320
in his head. Yeah, brain bomb. Blonde girl death.

00:38:59.800 --> 00:39:02.139
That's what the YouTube video is. Am I then on,

00:39:02.199 --> 00:39:05.800
is Rogue Nation? See, I've not seen anything

00:39:05.800 --> 00:39:09.079
past three. Rogue Nation might be the one I'm

00:39:09.079 --> 00:39:18.500
thinking of then. Which one? Okay, well, whatever

00:39:18.500 --> 00:39:20.920
one. Fucking hell, who cares? Look, anyway, I've

00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:22.260
been watching Mission Impossible. We're watching

00:39:22.260 --> 00:39:23.619
them all. I'm getting them all confused. It's

00:39:23.619 --> 00:39:27.960
like Existence all over again. You listen. On

00:39:27.960 --> 00:39:30.579
this ship, you're to refer to me as idiot, not

00:39:30.579 --> 00:39:34.760
you, Captain. I mean, you know what I mean. Calling

00:39:34.760 --> 00:39:38.880
me dickhead. Existence is paused. Because I got

00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:42.900
to the record bar before you said bumhole. Right.

00:39:43.639 --> 00:39:49.409
Space Bulls. Oh, it's dated, isn't it? Is it

00:39:49.409 --> 00:39:56.789
1987? 87. Oh, it's dated. Well, it's a good job

00:39:56.789 --> 00:40:01.449
Mel Brooks is Jewish. Put it that way. It's a

00:40:01.449 --> 00:40:06.230
really good job he's Jewish. Otherwise, it would

00:40:06.230 --> 00:40:08.789
be a bit awkward, some of it. Some of it I did

00:40:08.789 --> 00:40:12.090
get. I absolutely love the film, but there are

00:40:12.090 --> 00:40:15.409
some jokes in it I don't get. Like, I don't know

00:40:15.409 --> 00:40:18.630
what Schwartz is. I know it's a play on of the

00:40:18.630 --> 00:40:22.230
force, but I don't know what it means. Can you

00:40:22.230 --> 00:40:24.070
enlighten me what it means? I didn't Google it.

00:40:24.550 --> 00:40:27.889
Well, Schwartz is used for the colour black,

00:40:27.909 --> 00:40:32.750
but within Yiddish terms, Jewish terms, I don't

00:40:32.750 --> 00:40:34.469
know, to be honest. I just always assumed it

00:40:34.469 --> 00:40:37.949
was just a Jewish -sounding word that they'd

00:40:37.949 --> 00:40:41.010
used. Well, that's what I took it as, but Yogurt

00:40:41.010 --> 00:40:47.590
kept saying it, so... I mean, there are. So it's

00:40:47.590 --> 00:40:51.909
really hard because I would say on the most part,

00:40:52.210 --> 00:40:56.789
the film is fairly well paced. But there are

00:40:56.789 --> 00:41:00.190
some parts of the film where you just feel like

00:41:00.190 --> 00:41:02.869
wherever the joke's gone. I think Mel was on

00:41:02.869 --> 00:41:05.170
mushrooms when he conceived of this thing. Oh,

00:41:05.289 --> 00:41:11.829
yeah. There were drugs involved. It's just. Yes.

00:41:12.510 --> 00:41:15.449
I enjoy it. I love the film. It's funny as hell.

00:41:15.590 --> 00:41:18.070
I love it to bits. I always love it. Miranda's

00:41:18.070 --> 00:41:20.570
never even heard of it. And she was working with

00:41:20.570 --> 00:41:22.010
it on the background. I heard her going, ha!

00:41:22.710 --> 00:41:24.769
Like that every now and again when it was saying

00:41:24.769 --> 00:41:28.429
stuff. But I mean, opening with the stupidly

00:41:28.429 --> 00:41:32.110
long spaceship is just such a brilliant way to

00:41:32.110 --> 00:41:34.110
do it. What a great model, by the way, too. Well,

00:41:34.130 --> 00:41:36.429
all the models are done brilliantly in it. They've

00:41:36.429 --> 00:41:39.489
spent so much money on it. But yeah, opening

00:41:39.489 --> 00:41:43.619
a film. with basically the panning of a stupidly

00:41:43.619 --> 00:41:46.079
long spaceship, where every moment you think,

00:41:46.139 --> 00:41:48.099
right, that's it, it's done. No, we're going

00:41:48.099 --> 00:41:49.840
to drag it on another 10 seconds. And it goes

00:41:49.840 --> 00:41:54.699
on. Oh, does it go on? It goes on. I feel like

00:41:54.699 --> 00:41:57.539
all of the kind of effects were better than Star

00:41:57.539 --> 00:42:01.179
Wars. Like the cock laser beams, they were really

00:42:01.179 --> 00:42:03.960
good. Not the ones really shooting them in the

00:42:03.960 --> 00:42:07.420
cock. They were shit. The lightsaber battle was

00:42:07.420 --> 00:42:09.400
better than the Darth Vader. Oh, no, it was.

00:42:09.659 --> 00:42:12.179
Yeah, it was. The lightsaber battle is awful.

00:42:12.400 --> 00:42:14.159
No, it was so good. You can pause it and you

00:42:14.159 --> 00:42:17.099
see they've just drawn a rectangular shape over

00:42:17.099 --> 00:42:19.199
it. No, I've got to disagree with you on that.

00:42:19.320 --> 00:42:21.639
I think it was better than the Star Wars, didn't

00:42:21.639 --> 00:42:23.539
it? I love when it just twists up. It's like,

00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:27.039
oh, I hate it when I get my shorts stuck. Hang

00:42:27.039 --> 00:42:29.059
on, I'll put my leg up here and I'll tug it off.

00:42:29.300 --> 00:42:32.340
And they did a great episode 11. Yeah. Touch.

00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:34.980
Just absolutely classic, yeah. Okay, we're going

00:42:34.980 --> 00:42:37.119
to do... Now, Jordan Lucas was a huge fan of

00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:39.360
the film. Oh, good. He was a huge fan of the

00:42:39.360 --> 00:42:41.920
screenplay. He was a huge fan of the film. The

00:42:41.920 --> 00:42:44.360
one thing he said, and this is very... Which

00:42:44.360 --> 00:42:47.579
is why you won't find much until fairly recently,

00:42:47.619 --> 00:42:51.539
I think. He told them, you can parody anything

00:42:51.539 --> 00:42:53.420
of Star Wars. You can rip the piss out of Star

00:42:53.420 --> 00:42:55.039
Wars. You can do anything you want with Star

00:42:55.039 --> 00:42:59.880
Wars. You cannot merchandise the film, though.

00:43:00.369 --> 00:43:02.050
And is that why they have all the merchandise

00:43:02.050 --> 00:43:04.130
in the film? That's why Yogurt has the whole

00:43:04.130 --> 00:43:06.690
piece. The only person that can merchandise the

00:43:06.690 --> 00:43:12.349
film is Yogurt. That was really funny because

00:43:12.349 --> 00:43:15.750
after that point, you see the merchandise everywhere.

00:43:16.230 --> 00:43:19.030
The entire thing is just full of it, which is

00:43:19.030 --> 00:43:21.110
hilarious. I love it. It's like the shaving foam

00:43:21.110 --> 00:43:25.050
scene and it's Spaceballs, the shaving foam.

00:43:25.329 --> 00:43:27.090
Yeah, basically it's every single item but just

00:43:27.090 --> 00:43:29.630
says Spaceballs before it. Yeah, all those little

00:43:29.630 --> 00:43:32.289
things. A few, I'm just going to quickly go,

00:43:32.309 --> 00:43:35.699
a few standout moments for me. Mr. Coffee and

00:43:35.699 --> 00:43:41.340
Mr. Radar. That really hit me so perfectly. I

00:43:41.340 --> 00:43:43.239
don't know what it was about that. I found that

00:43:43.239 --> 00:43:45.860
utterly hilarious. I always have my coffee before

00:43:45.860 --> 00:43:48.800
I look at the radar, don't I? Yes, dark helmet.

00:43:49.139 --> 00:43:51.960
And the fact that the radar machine was Mr. Radar

00:43:51.960 --> 00:43:54.559
next to the Mr. Coffee machine. Because even

00:43:54.559 --> 00:43:55.880
Miranda was laughing at that. But the problem

00:43:55.880 --> 00:43:58.659
is, and not the problem, but the point is, that's

00:43:58.659 --> 00:44:00.599
the same humour that we got in Police Academy.

00:44:00.780 --> 00:44:04.219
We got in Hot Shots particularly. Yeah. I mean,

00:44:04.239 --> 00:44:06.800
Hot Shots, just full stop, you got all of that

00:44:06.800 --> 00:44:09.860
in there, didn't you? I feel like they do it

00:44:09.860 --> 00:44:12.199
better than this. This feels like a mismatch

00:44:12.199 --> 00:44:14.500
of all of them. Well, it's difficult, isn't it?

00:44:14.500 --> 00:44:15.980
Because if you look at the Mel Brooks films,

00:44:16.099 --> 00:44:22.099
Young Frankenstein, oh, blimey, Blazing Saddles.

00:44:22.179 --> 00:44:25.159
Well, that's great. Let's face it, Blazing Saddles

00:44:25.159 --> 00:44:26.980
is one of these ones that probably should be

00:44:26.980 --> 00:44:29.579
cancelled, but God, don't, because it's so fucking

00:44:29.579 --> 00:44:33.070
brilliant. This, out of all the Mel Brooks films

00:44:33.070 --> 00:44:36.130
that I can think of, is probably the lowest point.

00:44:36.670 --> 00:44:40.190
It's still a brilliant film, but when you consider

00:44:40.190 --> 00:44:43.250
how funny Mel Brooks can be and what he can create,

00:44:43.630 --> 00:44:47.250
it's on the lower spectrum of them. But things,

00:44:47.329 --> 00:44:49.510
as you say, Mr. Coffee and Mr. Ray, that's just

00:44:49.510 --> 00:44:52.389
beautiful. That simple looking at the screen

00:44:52.389 --> 00:44:54.969
and then the gentle pan out and it's Mr. Coffee.

00:44:56.239 --> 00:44:59.000
in the same shot than this gentle pan right and

00:44:59.000 --> 00:45:02.099
there's mr radar it's like yeah that's just wonderful

00:45:02.099 --> 00:45:04.900
yeah just the thought process in there breaking

00:45:04.900 --> 00:45:08.199
the fourth wall when they're like i know what

00:45:08.199 --> 00:45:11.019
we can do we'll watch space balls the movie yeah

00:45:11.019 --> 00:45:15.019
yeah when is this happening then now when yeah

00:45:15.019 --> 00:45:17.320
we do a few times that they say they do that

00:45:17.320 --> 00:45:21.449
then they do a quick zoom in and headbutt helmet

00:45:21.449 --> 00:45:25.389
and then also they zap the sound man don't they

00:45:25.389 --> 00:45:27.489
when they're doing the lightsaber yeah and my

00:45:27.489 --> 00:45:29.869
other standout moment was john hurt having the

00:45:29.869 --> 00:45:32.070
alien come out and dance in the bar right not

00:45:32.070 --> 00:45:34.929
again yeah that was really good because i completely

00:45:34.929 --> 00:45:37.309
forgot about that and then to see that scene

00:45:37.309 --> 00:45:39.309
again i thought it was brilliant anyway yeah

00:45:39.309 --> 00:45:45.949
interestingly so many people mistake that alien

00:45:45.949 --> 00:45:47.929
model as something that was used in red dwarf

00:45:47.929 --> 00:45:54.250
for some reason i've got no idea why It's probably

00:45:54.250 --> 00:45:56.690
because of polymorph running around. I can only

00:45:56.690 --> 00:45:59.630
assume that's it. But yeah, it's so often mixed

00:45:59.630 --> 00:46:01.030
up with red dwarf. I wonder if there's something

00:46:01.030 --> 00:46:02.929
else red dwarf that we're both not remembering.

00:46:03.110 --> 00:46:05.690
But yeah, but it's very red dwarf. You know,

00:46:05.730 --> 00:46:08.250
that's something exactly red dwarf would do.

00:46:08.690 --> 00:46:12.969
Yeah. Yeah, no, it's not. Right. So ludicrous

00:46:12.969 --> 00:46:16.170
speed. Ludicrous speed. Yeah, I love that. Absolutely.

00:46:16.449 --> 00:46:22.050
We've gone to plaid. Yeah. Pizza the Hut. That

00:46:22.050 --> 00:46:25.369
guy was disgusting. Oh, such a gross costume.

00:46:25.570 --> 00:46:28.809
Yeah. With the dripping and the oozing of stuff

00:46:28.809 --> 00:46:30.309
off it. And the bits of pepperoni falling off

00:46:30.309 --> 00:46:33.070
and the guy was eating it. It was so horrible.

00:46:33.550 --> 00:46:36.429
I love the news bit at the end. Pizza the Hut

00:46:36.429 --> 00:46:38.750
has been found dead in his limousine. He's eating

00:46:38.750 --> 00:46:41.389
himself to death. Yeah. It's so revolting. It

00:46:41.389 --> 00:46:43.829
was such a good costume because I really felt

00:46:43.829 --> 00:46:46.389
sick watching it. Yeah. The combing the desert.

00:46:46.750 --> 00:46:48.889
Always a classic part. I mean, you see that clip

00:46:48.889 --> 00:46:51.769
non -stop everywhere. But the prop for that as

00:46:51.769 --> 00:46:55.690
well is just so beautifully done. And the racial

00:46:55.690 --> 00:46:57.969
joke, the afro comb that the backdoos are using.

00:46:59.650 --> 00:47:02.369
I just, again, the punchline of it, we ain't

00:47:02.369 --> 00:47:07.670
found shit. Jamming the radar. Oh, jamming the

00:47:07.670 --> 00:47:12.389
radar. Now, if you notice, Lone Star uses strawberry

00:47:12.389 --> 00:47:16.090
jam. What does then Dark Helmet say? It's Raspberry.

00:47:16.429 --> 00:47:18.809
It's Raspberry. Yeah, with the guy who makes

00:47:18.809 --> 00:47:21.230
all the funny noises, that actor. Yeah, absolutely

00:47:21.230 --> 00:47:25.630
brilliant. And if you look at the trivia section

00:47:25.630 --> 00:47:28.909
of things like IMDb, Mel Brooks said, he saved

00:47:28.909 --> 00:47:31.030
us thousands of dollars by doing all the sound

00:47:31.030 --> 00:47:34.989
effects for us. Michael Winslow. Oh, yeah, that's

00:47:34.989 --> 00:47:39.590
it. And when Mel himself, because he's playing

00:47:39.590 --> 00:47:44.280
the main bad guy, isn't he? It really kept close

00:47:44.280 --> 00:47:46.500
to my heart when he's complaining about the beaming.

00:47:47.139 --> 00:47:49.639
I was like, oh, me and Mel must be coming from

00:47:49.639 --> 00:47:51.920
the same place here about not trusting the beaming.

00:47:51.920 --> 00:47:55.019
I love the peri -air that he has to start with.

00:47:55.059 --> 00:47:58.420
It's like, beaming? But I'm not sure. The depth

00:47:58.420 --> 00:48:01.420
of ripping the piss out of Star Trek. I'm sure

00:48:01.420 --> 00:48:03.019
it must be an interlock problem. Interlock one,

00:48:03.199 --> 00:48:07.739
two, three, four. Snotty beamed me twice last

00:48:07.739 --> 00:48:13.280
night. Yes. beautifully a beautiful just pierced

00:48:13.280 --> 00:48:16.519
tape because it wasn't just we're using the whole

00:48:16.519 --> 00:48:20.360
beaming thing they did the techno babble yeah

00:48:20.360 --> 00:48:24.199
and it's just that's what you need just doing

00:48:24.199 --> 00:48:25.960
a like a transport thing that could have been

00:48:25.960 --> 00:48:30.099
anything sci -fi but the techno babylon top yeah

00:48:30.099 --> 00:48:33.079
done exactly as it was in like the original series

00:48:33.079 --> 00:48:35.519
is perfect and what i like is they're using it

00:48:35.519 --> 00:48:37.780
like what my main complaint from discovery was

00:48:37.780 --> 00:48:40.219
is that he beamed over and then he was fucked

00:48:40.219 --> 00:48:42.260
up his head was on backwards being back and then

00:48:42.260 --> 00:48:44.780
he just walked through the fucking door he was

00:48:44.780 --> 00:48:47.360
exactly it's just like it wasn't even needed

00:48:47.360 --> 00:48:51.320
it's just that that joke It's amazing. Yeah,

00:48:51.340 --> 00:48:54.179
it's a really fun joke. Because as I complained

00:48:54.179 --> 00:48:56.199
about Discovery, why is everyone just... No,

00:48:56.260 --> 00:48:57.820
everyone would be fat because everyone's beaming

00:48:57.820 --> 00:49:00.780
everywhere. It's ridiculous. Oh, yeah, what else

00:49:00.780 --> 00:49:05.179
we've got? Calling Dot Matrix the C -3PO character.

00:49:05.659 --> 00:49:10.539
Yeah. Just again, it's just... But the costume

00:49:10.539 --> 00:49:13.699
there. So apparently that costume, they built

00:49:13.699 --> 00:49:15.739
three of them and went through all of them in

00:49:15.739 --> 00:49:18.480
filming. They all got destroyed through either

00:49:18.480 --> 00:49:20.860
accidents or just being worn too much on set.

00:49:21.159 --> 00:49:26.280
So they built three of those. Did you notice

00:49:26.280 --> 00:49:28.360
that none of them ever wore helmets when they're

00:49:28.360 --> 00:49:31.440
in the void of space? They literally had a ladder

00:49:31.440 --> 00:49:36.639
going between Lone Star's ship and the Mercedes.

00:49:37.659 --> 00:49:39.940
It was a ladder and they're just climbing down

00:49:39.940 --> 00:49:42.440
the ladder in the fucking vastness of space.

00:49:42.659 --> 00:49:45.219
And the same when they go to the CAF. at the

00:49:45.219 --> 00:49:47.159
end of the diner, they're just parked like an

00:49:47.159 --> 00:49:50.239
asteroid or something, just walking from their

00:49:50.239 --> 00:49:55.940
ship to it. Right, okay. So I've just asked ChatGPT,

00:49:55.960 --> 00:50:00.719
by the way, the Schwartz, a parody of the Force.

00:50:00.940 --> 00:50:03.079
So in Star Wars, the Force, blah, blah, we know

00:50:03.079 --> 00:50:05.960
that much. So Schwartz is a common Jewish surname

00:50:05.960 --> 00:50:08.360
and also the Yiddish -German word for black.

00:50:08.679 --> 00:50:13.710
Mel Brooks, who is Jewish. No. Often laced his

00:50:13.710 --> 00:50:15.809
films with Jewish humour and Yiddish wordplay,

00:50:15.969 --> 00:50:18.369
using Schwartz as a spoof of something as spiritual

00:50:18.369 --> 00:50:20.269
and epic as The Force Wars classic Mel Brooks

00:50:20.269 --> 00:50:25.570
movie, blah, blah, blah. It just basically, it's

00:50:25.570 --> 00:50:30.150
just a word. It has nothing to do with, there's

00:50:30.150 --> 00:50:32.389
no specialness to it. It is just the word black

00:50:32.389 --> 00:50:34.809
or as common surname within the Jewish community.

00:50:39.079 --> 00:50:44.099
Yeah, I mean, you could say what this is trying

00:50:44.099 --> 00:50:46.639
to say here is that you could consider it a double

00:50:46.639 --> 00:50:49.800
entendre. May the Schwartz be with you sounds

00:50:49.800 --> 00:50:54.500
suspiciously like a euphemism even, especially

00:50:54.500 --> 00:50:56.780
when characters pull out glowing rings or compare

00:50:56.780 --> 00:51:00.159
whose Schwartz is bigger. So I kind of understand

00:51:00.159 --> 00:51:03.380
that. But no, it's just typical wordplay, I think,

00:51:03.420 --> 00:51:07.300
for it. Yeah. I like Dot Matrix's Virgin Alarm.

00:51:08.940 --> 00:51:12.300
That was good. But I think one character we've

00:51:12.300 --> 00:51:14.500
not even... Well, two. So you've got Bill Pullman,

00:51:14.619 --> 00:51:17.860
legendary actor, went on to play the United States

00:51:17.860 --> 00:51:19.800
President in Independence Day. He did, yeah.

00:51:20.079 --> 00:51:22.500
I did wonder if there was any tie to that, because

00:51:22.500 --> 00:51:26.260
when they go down and crash on the planet, he

00:51:26.260 --> 00:51:29.079
puts out an SOS going, Eagle 5 down. I thought...

00:51:29.469 --> 00:51:31.690
What was his number in Independence? He was Eagle

00:51:31.690 --> 00:51:34.010
1 in Independence Day. I was thinking that would

00:51:34.010 --> 00:51:35.769
have been so good of Independence Day. They'd

00:51:35.769 --> 00:51:38.170
give him the call sign Eagle 5 as a tie back

00:51:38.170 --> 00:51:39.670
to that. Yeah, that would have been fun. But

00:51:39.670 --> 00:51:43.449
no, they didn't, sadly. But John Candy. Yeah,

00:51:43.530 --> 00:51:45.789
John Candy, yeah. I mean, the legendary John

00:51:45.789 --> 00:51:50.670
Candy, God rest his soul, is just underutilized,

00:51:50.670 --> 00:51:52.889
if anything. His character's brilliant in it.

00:51:53.050 --> 00:51:55.280
I mean, you've got... Barth. What's it short

00:51:55.280 --> 00:52:00.460
for? What's your full name? Bartholomew. He's

00:52:00.460 --> 00:52:02.760
a bit of a naughty boy too because he uses his

00:52:02.760 --> 00:52:06.159
tail to shove out that woman's skirt and stuff.

00:52:06.400 --> 00:52:11.039
I can't help it. He doesn't mind his own. I just

00:52:11.039 --> 00:52:13.340
do think he was underutilised in the film for

00:52:13.340 --> 00:52:18.280
the man and his comedy status. I mean, planes,

00:52:18.320 --> 00:52:22.980
trains and automobiles. Uncle Buck. I mean, you

00:52:22.980 --> 00:52:25.079
consider how underutilized he is in Home Alone,

00:52:25.280 --> 00:52:27.000
to be fair, where he's just playing a bloody

00:52:27.000 --> 00:52:30.199
musician. Yeah. They could have done so much

00:52:30.199 --> 00:52:34.000
more with him. He's just a legendary actor in

00:52:34.000 --> 00:52:37.739
my books. I mean, things like Cool Runnings.

00:52:38.519 --> 00:52:42.019
You couldn't expect a better character to be

00:52:42.019 --> 00:52:44.420
played by a person like John Candy. And it's

00:52:44.420 --> 00:52:47.320
just like this character doesn't get as much

00:52:47.320 --> 00:52:51.539
as I would have liked him to. Yeah, yeah. Did

00:52:51.539 --> 00:52:52.719
you notice when they were doing the merchandise,

00:52:53.119 --> 00:52:55.199
they had the Spaceballs comic? Yes. Did you notice

00:52:55.199 --> 00:52:58.119
what it was? No, I didn't. It was just Transformers.

00:52:58.119 --> 00:53:01.760
It had Optimus Prime on the front of it. Which,

00:53:01.840 --> 00:53:04.460
of course, takes us to the Transformers piss

00:53:04.460 --> 00:53:08.239
take. Spaceballs 1 turning into a giant transformer.

00:53:08.519 --> 00:53:11.320
Yeah, it was like the... It was like the Statue

00:53:11.320 --> 00:53:13.340
of Liberty. Voltron transformer, Statue of Liberty.

00:53:13.440 --> 00:53:16.760
Yeah. Yeah. And sucking all of the 10 ,000 years

00:53:16.760 --> 00:53:18.539
of air. I love how when they put it on blow,

00:53:18.659 --> 00:53:20.559
all the trees just get blown back into place.

00:53:21.380 --> 00:53:24.519
Oh, is it? I've got so many notes. I'm just naming

00:53:24.519 --> 00:53:26.860
parts in the film because there's so many little

00:53:26.860 --> 00:53:30.739
bits. The code, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. And they're like,

00:53:30.820 --> 00:53:33.619
oh, that'd be the code for some idiot's... Suitcase.

00:53:33.679 --> 00:53:35.320
And then he comes, Mel comes in and he's like,

00:53:35.400 --> 00:53:38.280
oh, that's the same code as my suitcase. That's

00:53:38.280 --> 00:53:42.440
just how everyone is. One, one, one, two, two,

00:53:42.639 --> 00:53:47.539
two. Oh, yeah. And he gets taught how to do the

00:53:47.539 --> 00:53:49.260
Vulcan neck pinch properly on the person he's

00:53:49.260 --> 00:53:53.460
doing the neck pinch to. Oh, this. I'm just going,

00:53:53.539 --> 00:53:56.099
just going down. I loved all the Cox apps. They

00:53:56.099 --> 00:54:00.079
were funny. I mean. Moving away from the kind

00:54:00.079 --> 00:54:02.880
of... I am very fond of the film. I remember

00:54:02.880 --> 00:54:05.179
watching it when I was younger. Don't realise

00:54:05.179 --> 00:54:07.619
how much swearing is in it until recently watching

00:54:07.619 --> 00:54:11.719
it again. It's a Mel Brooks film. It's kind of

00:54:11.719 --> 00:54:17.659
expected, I guess. I think it does feel a bit

00:54:17.659 --> 00:54:20.940
more dated than a lot of his. Maybe not Blazing

00:54:20.940 --> 00:54:23.559
Saddle so much, but Young Frankenstein, for example,

00:54:23.679 --> 00:54:25.900
this feels very dated in comparison to that.

00:54:26.880 --> 00:54:31.719
And I would say... comparing it to other spoof

00:54:31.719 --> 00:54:37.079
films of the time and even newer ones. So let's

00:54:37.079 --> 00:54:40.519
say Hot Shots 1, Hot Shots 2, come a bit more

00:54:40.519 --> 00:54:43.719
modern, Scary Movie, Not Another Teen Movie.

00:54:43.880 --> 00:54:45.460
And I'm not saying Not Another Teen Movie is

00:54:45.460 --> 00:54:49.219
a good film. It's got its moments. I'm not saying

00:54:49.219 --> 00:54:51.420
Scary Movie is a good film, but it's a good film.

00:54:51.440 --> 00:54:53.739
I like it. I don't care what anyone says to that

00:54:53.739 --> 00:54:59.199
one. It does feel very much like the pacing is

00:54:59.199 --> 00:55:02.639
off. Spaceballs wants to be a spoof movie. It

00:55:02.639 --> 00:55:05.780
is a spoof movie, but there are just parts of

00:55:05.780 --> 00:55:08.780
it that do just fall flat. What's the equivalent

00:55:08.780 --> 00:55:11.880
of this now? I don't think we've got anything

00:55:11.880 --> 00:55:14.659
really now. I mean, the closest we've got would

00:55:14.659 --> 00:55:18.239
be Red Dwarf with the same era. So if we were

00:55:18.239 --> 00:55:20.539
going to just go kind of with a spoof sci -fi

00:55:20.539 --> 00:55:23.039
TV series, it would be Hyperdrive, which was

00:55:23.039 --> 00:55:25.880
God knows how many years ago with Nick Frost.

00:55:26.400 --> 00:55:30.539
But any of those films, like Naked Gun, that

00:55:30.539 --> 00:55:33.400
kind of film, other than the one they're doing,

00:55:34.380 --> 00:55:39.579
what's the equivalent now? Ted? Would that be

00:55:39.579 --> 00:55:43.199
an equivalent? Because I was thinking like, the

00:55:43.199 --> 00:55:45.780
office is just kind of like, the American office

00:55:45.780 --> 00:55:51.840
is just, you know, a sitcom. Yeah. I can't think.

00:55:52.329 --> 00:55:54.809
So someone's going to message and say, I can't

00:55:54.809 --> 00:55:58.050
think of an equivalent to it now. You know, that

00:55:58.050 --> 00:56:03.809
just complete ridiculousness of all of those

00:56:03.809 --> 00:56:09.010
shows. No, you're right. There isn't. It's like

00:56:09.010 --> 00:56:13.670
Family Guy. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I

00:56:13.670 --> 00:56:15.369
think the closest we've got to it is animated.

00:56:15.369 --> 00:56:16.710
It's going to be South Park. It's going to be

00:56:16.710 --> 00:56:21.300
Family Guy. Though it shows that we haven't got

00:56:21.300 --> 00:56:25.719
anything. The American dad. Yeah, not so much,

00:56:25.719 --> 00:56:28.639
I guess. But yeah, you're right, we do. But I

00:56:28.639 --> 00:56:33.300
wouldn't say there's much or anyone's brave enough,

00:56:33.360 --> 00:56:35.380
I should guess I should say, because let's face

00:56:35.380 --> 00:56:38.199
it, not many people are going to be willing to...

00:56:38.699 --> 00:56:41.420
I bet they are. It's just the places won't pay

00:56:41.420 --> 00:56:42.519
them. No one's willing to do it, yeah. I bet

00:56:42.519 --> 00:56:43.300
there's loads of people that would make them.

00:56:43.300 --> 00:56:45.219
If someone actually said we'd do it, I bet you

00:56:45.219 --> 00:56:47.300
could easily find someone to broadcast it. It's

00:56:47.300 --> 00:56:48.900
just I think people will think that they won't

00:56:48.900 --> 00:56:53.659
get. Film -wise, the closest I can think of,

00:56:53.800 --> 00:56:55.300
and it's just bugging me because I've been looking

00:56:55.300 --> 00:56:58.679
at it, was a film called The Other Guys. And

00:56:58.679 --> 00:57:03.039
that was Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell. Will

00:57:03.039 --> 00:57:06.460
Ferrell plays a fairly kind of, he's just an

00:57:06.460 --> 00:57:10.300
office jockey kind of. police officer. Wahlberg

00:57:10.300 --> 00:57:12.659
wants to be back on the street and in all the

00:57:12.659 --> 00:57:15.539
action, but he's got PTSD. Yeah. And they end

00:57:15.539 --> 00:57:18.860
up having to try and solve a crumb. Have you

00:57:18.860 --> 00:57:20.639
ever seen it? No, I've heard of it. I wanted

00:57:20.639 --> 00:57:22.519
to watch it, but I think maybe all of Will Ferrell's

00:57:22.519 --> 00:57:24.340
films are kind of like that, you know? Yeah,

00:57:24.360 --> 00:57:28.400
I'm going to have to, I'll show you the clip

00:57:28.400 --> 00:57:31.019
from the other guys. It's the funniest part of

00:57:31.019 --> 00:57:33.860
the movie, which is sad because there's lots

00:57:33.860 --> 00:57:36.000
and lots of brilliant bits. There's the police

00:57:36.000 --> 00:57:39.159
commissioner who they keep on upsetting throughout

00:57:39.159 --> 00:57:43.659
all of it is singing Waterfalls by TLC. And every

00:57:43.659 --> 00:57:46.179
time he's been injured or they talk to him, he

00:57:46.179 --> 00:57:49.800
gives them a line of the lyric from Waterfall.

00:57:49.820 --> 00:57:52.360
And Will Ferrell was like, that's just TLC. He's

00:57:52.360 --> 00:57:53.500
like, I don't know what you're talking about,

00:57:53.579 --> 00:57:56.599
man. And then at the end of it, he's literally

00:57:56.599 --> 00:57:59.900
quoting it verbatim. It's just one of those little

00:57:59.900 --> 00:58:02.179
ongoing jokes, and that's what makes me think

00:58:02.179 --> 00:58:04.699
of this. But I don't think we've had anything

00:58:04.699 --> 00:58:10.039
recently, except the Naked Gun remake, that you

00:58:10.039 --> 00:58:15.079
could say is similar. I would say the era of

00:58:15.079 --> 00:58:18.900
those not -another -teen movies, so not -another

00:58:18.900 --> 00:58:20.860
-superhero movie, all of those, and they were

00:58:20.860 --> 00:58:25.349
bad. Again, Teen Movie is actually quite funny.

00:58:25.949 --> 00:58:28.190
But everything after that that came, it just

00:58:28.190 --> 00:58:30.510
kept on getting worse and worse. And this is

00:58:30.510 --> 00:58:33.010
just stupid. And then there's Scary Movie. Scary

00:58:33.010 --> 00:58:36.309
Movie 1, 2. Actually, you know what? I quite

00:58:36.309 --> 00:58:38.150
like all of those. I don't know if I can say

00:58:38.150 --> 00:58:40.190
anything about Scary Movie. I like the one with

00:58:40.190 --> 00:58:41.489
Charlie Sheen where they're ripping the piss

00:58:41.489 --> 00:58:44.429
out of signs. I guess, is it Superhero Movie

00:58:44.429 --> 00:58:46.670
is another one? Superhero Movie. Yeah, there

00:58:46.670 --> 00:58:50.019
you go. That's another one. Yeah, they just took

00:58:50.019 --> 00:58:53.760
it too far, and I think it became a very... That's

00:58:53.760 --> 00:58:57.159
what it became. People thought of spoof movies,

00:58:57.320 --> 00:59:01.840
not of Police Academy, of Hot Shots, of Spaceballs.

00:59:01.940 --> 00:59:05.280
What they thought of was, oh, superhero movie.

00:59:06.159 --> 00:59:10.679
And people just went off them. Yeah, I actually

00:59:10.679 --> 00:59:12.840
think scary movies are probably the closest ones,

00:59:13.039 --> 00:59:19.190
really. Yeah. I like it. you know thinking about

00:59:19.190 --> 00:59:21.789
the most so final thoughts on it would you reckon

00:59:21.789 --> 00:59:25.650
oh i mean it's brilliant fun spoof sci -fi you

00:59:25.650 --> 00:59:28.130
can't get away from you can't get away from a

00:59:28.130 --> 00:59:30.949
giant spaceship that turns into a giant mechanized

00:59:30.949 --> 00:59:34.570
made with a vacuum cleaner a flying winnebago

00:59:34.570 --> 00:59:40.030
a cameo from the millennium falcon is in the

00:59:40.030 --> 00:59:42.170
film as well i'll take it you spotted that i

00:59:42.170 --> 00:59:45.590
don't think i did oh dear i don't think on your

00:59:45.590 --> 00:59:51.250
phone go to google images Okay. And look up Spaceballs

00:59:51.250 --> 00:59:54.510
Space Diner. So the final scene that you saw,

00:59:54.650 --> 00:59:57.409
the Millennium Falcon is parked up next to the

00:59:57.409 --> 01:00:01.230
Space Diner. Just before we see John Hurt, it's

01:00:01.230 --> 01:00:04.730
sat there on the parking space. There he is.

01:00:04.750 --> 01:00:09.469
How funny. Yeah. And what else was I... Oh, I've

01:00:09.469 --> 01:00:13.170
just lost it from my mind. He's lost his mind,

01:00:13.309 --> 01:00:16.429
ladies and gentlemen. Lost my mind. It was going

01:00:16.429 --> 01:00:18.949
to be another kind of film that is like these

01:00:18.949 --> 01:00:21.630
films that's instantly gone from my brain. Well,

01:00:21.670 --> 01:00:22.809
I'm going to pause it in a minute and it will

01:00:22.809 --> 01:00:25.289
come to my brain. But yeah, it's the same. I

01:00:25.289 --> 01:00:28.309
really enjoyed it. It's a good, fun film. Don't

01:00:28.309 --> 01:00:33.030
expect too much of it. If you're one of these

01:00:33.030 --> 01:00:35.510
diehard, it's got to be a sensible film. But

01:00:35.510 --> 01:00:37.130
if you're happy watching something that is just

01:00:37.130 --> 01:00:42.269
fun and spoof, it's up there with those films.

01:00:42.349 --> 01:00:45.070
That type of film, this is kind of the DNA of

01:00:45.070 --> 01:00:49.480
it. Yeah. So a little addendum there. You're

01:00:49.480 --> 01:00:51.659
quite right with what you've just said. What

01:00:51.659 --> 01:00:53.679
three films were you thinking about that went

01:00:53.679 --> 01:00:55.820
out of your mind? Austin Powers. Austin Powers.

01:00:55.980 --> 01:01:01.539
They are, again, early 2000s, which is similar

01:01:01.539 --> 01:01:04.039
to kind of the scary movies era that we all kind

01:01:04.039 --> 01:01:05.699
of know. I mean, I'm guessing actually Austin

01:01:05.699 --> 01:01:07.599
Powers is probably older than we think it is.

01:01:07.619 --> 01:01:12.349
I bet you that was, I'm going to say 98. Yeah,

01:01:12.489 --> 01:01:14.909
probably is, yeah. Yeah, so it's probably, it

01:01:14.909 --> 01:01:17.550
may even be older than I think then. Let's have

01:01:17.550 --> 01:01:20.869
a look here. Austin Powers, Goldmember was 2002.

01:01:22.230 --> 01:01:24.550
Spy Who Shagged Me was 99. Yeah, Man of Mystery,

01:01:24.630 --> 01:01:28.630
97. Yeah. So a lot older than I remember it being.

01:01:28.769 --> 01:01:32.869
But yeah, that was the era of those films when

01:01:32.869 --> 01:01:35.469
they were still good. Then we got Scary Movie.

01:01:35.590 --> 01:01:37.969
And again, how old is Scary Movie now, dare I

01:01:37.969 --> 01:01:42.159
ask? Oh, yeah. Let me have a very quick... 2000.

01:01:43.059 --> 01:01:45.940
There were six scary movies. Yeah, there's a

01:01:45.940 --> 01:01:48.139
lot of them. Oh, fuck that. No, I only ever saw

01:01:48.139 --> 01:01:50.199
Scary Movie 3. I don't think I've seen any of

01:01:50.199 --> 01:01:51.940
the others. I think I only saw two or three.

01:01:52.599 --> 01:01:54.900
Oh, I might dig some of them out, but they sound

01:01:54.900 --> 01:01:59.000
awful. Oh, Scary Movie 6 is 2026. Oh. So they're

01:01:59.000 --> 01:02:00.519
filming it at the moment. The Wayans Brothers.

01:02:00.860 --> 01:02:02.599
Yeah. Okay, at least they're both still in it.

01:02:02.780 --> 01:02:12.800
Well, Marlon Wayans is in there anyway. What

01:02:12.800 --> 01:02:17.840
about you guys? We ain't found shit. Right. Next

01:02:17.840 --> 01:02:21.840
episode. Next episode. We were just having a

01:02:21.840 --> 01:02:23.920
discussion because I hadn't prepared. It has

01:02:23.920 --> 01:02:27.320
been decided we're going to watch Men in Black

01:02:27.320 --> 01:02:30.619
International. Which was released in 2019. It

01:02:30.619 --> 01:02:32.460
stars one of the Hemsworths. I think it's Chris

01:02:32.460 --> 01:02:37.059
Hemsworth. And I was thoroughly disappointed

01:02:37.059 --> 01:02:41.280
by it. I don't know if I've seen it. Doubt you

01:02:41.280 --> 01:02:43.860
have. I remember it's nearly two hours long.

01:02:44.099 --> 01:02:49.019
Ooh. Yeah. As a fun sci -fi film, and I don't

01:02:49.019 --> 01:02:51.099
know how long the first one was. That's nearly

01:02:51.099 --> 01:02:53.440
as long as the episodes that we do. Well, there

01:02:53.440 --> 01:02:57.420
you go. So that means that episode's going to

01:02:57.420 --> 01:03:00.769
be... 10 hours long. Not if either of us like

01:03:00.769 --> 01:03:04.969
it. Men in Black 1997. Jeez, I remember seeing

01:03:04.969 --> 01:03:07.849
that. I adored Men in Black. Oh, I still do.

01:03:08.230 --> 01:03:10.949
It's a tough one now because Men in Black I really

01:03:10.949 --> 01:03:13.909
liked and I'm Legend I really liked. Will Smith,

01:03:14.170 --> 01:03:17.909
I don't like. Not anymore. One hour 38 for the

01:03:17.909 --> 01:03:21.349
first one. I've never seen Men in Black 2. I

01:03:21.349 --> 01:03:24.889
enjoyed Men in Black 2. Which... That then came

01:03:24.889 --> 01:03:30.670
in at 1 hour 28. Men in Black 3 I really enjoyed.

01:03:30.809 --> 01:03:32.710
I thought it was quite a clever idea. It was

01:03:32.710 --> 01:03:36.010
quite nice. It was nicely done. 1 hour 46, heading

01:03:36.010 --> 01:03:39.110
towards the too long section. But then, yeah,

01:03:39.130 --> 01:03:40.769
you've got Men in Black International, which

01:03:40.769 --> 01:03:43.329
runs at 1 hour 54 minutes. Oh, this is going

01:03:43.329 --> 01:03:45.489
to be tough. Yeah. Especially if I think it's

01:03:45.489 --> 01:03:46.730
shit. I'm not going to want to watch the whole

01:03:46.730 --> 01:03:50.019
thing. Yeah, I mean... Well, I'm going to go

01:03:50.019 --> 01:03:52.239
into it not thinking it's shit, just because

01:03:52.239 --> 01:03:53.780
you don't like it. I'm going to go into it thinking...

01:03:53.780 --> 01:03:55.239
Yeah, well, don't get me wrong. Hopefully it's

01:03:55.239 --> 01:03:58.039
good. It's got some good castings. So you've

01:03:58.039 --> 01:03:59.679
got Chris Hemsworth, you've got Tessa Thompson

01:03:59.679 --> 01:04:02.940
are our main two characters. You've got Kumail

01:04:02.940 --> 01:04:06.559
Nanjiani, which is the bloke that played the

01:04:06.559 --> 01:04:10.719
fire person in the latest Ghostbusters. Oh, he's

01:04:10.719 --> 01:04:13.480
done low, in fact. I load up his profile very

01:04:13.480 --> 01:04:16.179
quickly. He's been in all sorts. Big Sick, Life

01:04:16.179 --> 01:04:19.800
As We Know It, Stuber. Oh, he's been just in

01:04:19.800 --> 01:04:23.760
tons. Absolutely tons. I thought she was in Ragnarok.

01:04:23.760 --> 01:04:27.159
She's Valkyrie. You've got Rebecca Ferguson,

01:04:27.579 --> 01:04:31.219
Emma Thompson, Liam Neeson. Liam Neeson, isn't

01:04:31.219 --> 01:04:34.980
it? Yeah, he plays Agent High T. I mean, there's

01:04:34.980 --> 01:04:39.519
a lot of people in it. But... I just remember

01:04:39.519 --> 01:04:41.920
being very disappointed by it. So I will look

01:04:41.920 --> 01:04:44.000
forward to watching it. I may have walked into

01:04:44.000 --> 01:04:47.280
the cinema with too high an expectation of it.

01:04:47.619 --> 01:04:51.079
So re -watching it may give me a different lease

01:04:51.079 --> 01:04:52.860
and a different view to it. So would this have

01:04:52.860 --> 01:04:54.940
been the first time that these two worked together?

01:04:55.059 --> 01:04:57.940
Because she's obviously in Thor with him. So

01:04:57.940 --> 01:05:01.119
would this have been the first time they worked

01:05:01.119 --> 01:05:05.079
together, do we think? No. Let me have a... Hang

01:05:05.079 --> 01:05:06.739
on. So yes, of course, yes, you're right. She

01:05:06.739 --> 01:05:09.349
was... She's Valkyrie in Thor. She is Valkyrie

01:05:09.349 --> 01:05:13.250
and Thor. So Thor Ragnarok was 2017, so that's

01:05:13.250 --> 01:05:16.070
two years before this. So they worked together

01:05:16.070 --> 01:05:18.389
in Thor before they worked together on this.

01:05:18.409 --> 01:05:20.170
Then they were in this together. Oh, that's interesting.

01:05:20.329 --> 01:05:23.710
She's in Asgard's Wrath 2, the game. Yeah, I

01:05:23.710 --> 01:05:26.630
did just see that, yeah. That makes me feel sick,

01:05:26.630 --> 01:05:28.909
that game. Yeah, it makes me feel very, very,

01:05:28.929 --> 01:05:32.650
very ill. But anyway... Men in Black International.

01:05:32.949 --> 01:05:35.110
I think it's a good choice of a film. Yeah, wicked.

01:05:38.019 --> 01:05:43.699
No. No. Yes. No. Yes. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.

01:05:43.699 --> 01:05:48.960
Oh. Your helmet is so big. Lord Helmet. What?

01:05:49.639 --> 01:05:51.960
You're needed on the bridge, sir. Knock on my

01:05:51.960 --> 01:05:55.420
door. Knock next time. Yes, sir. Did you see

01:05:55.420 --> 01:05:57.380
anything? No, sir. I didn't see you playing with

01:05:57.380 --> 01:06:00.380
your dolls again. Good. That's it. Thank you,

01:06:49.840 --> 01:06:51.400
speak to every day and we don't have a problem

01:06:51.400 --> 01:06:53.119
remembering their names but as soon as it comes

01:06:53.119 --> 01:06:55.780
to talking on this they're gone no it's because

01:06:55.780 --> 01:06:57.900
i always say lightly use first so in my brain

01:06:57.900 --> 01:07:00.360
i've just got that that memory of just doing

01:07:00.360 --> 01:07:01.960
them first and i'm trying to not i'm trying to

01:07:01.960 --> 01:07:06.000
make it fair by saying swapping it a bit so but

01:07:06.000 --> 01:07:10.210
it's fucking with my head so exciting news you
