Biggest batter slayer in the game doesn't seem
like much, does he? Never lick. Bite straight
to the chocolatey center of the Tootsie Pop.
I want you to set up a romantic rendezvous between
me, Serena Williams, and Martha Stewart. This
is my mission! And it's not going to be my last.
He killed my friend. No, I did. Come on, Valkyrie.
Ass jerky don't make it sell. Hello, everybody.
Hello. Hello, hello. Hello, hello. Welcome to
the Untitled Sci -Fi Show, your one -stop shop
for all things sci -fi adjacent. We are talking
sci -fi, though, today. This is really exciting.
I know. And I was just literally saying to you
off -air, I feel woefully unprepared. So, what
have we got? Five minutes for Ward of the World
and an hour and 25 minutes for everything else,
yeah? Yeah, probably about right. Have you watched
episode two? No, I haven't caught up. Yeah, I'm
really, really delayed on it. I'm really pissed
off because I keep on getting something happen,
which means I can't just sit down and watch it.
Yeah, because it would have been another episode.
There's probably three out. And then when this
comes out, there'll be four out. I know. I need
to really catch up. In fact, when I kick you
out tonight, I will probably watch another episode
tonight before I go to bed. So. it just so everyone
has an idea that this is only the day after we
recorded the variety show it is yes to break
the fourth wall week between you hearing it but
a day it's because next week when we normally
record this i'm on holiday in good old charmouth
down in dorset and we just wouldn't have been
able to record we would have had to either record
the sunday before i go or the saturday and sunday
i'm back which would give you all of 24 hours
to edit. Yeah, and the thing is, we can say that
because you'll actually be back when this comes
out. Yeah, when I come back, this will come out.
We're allowed to talk about it. Have a nice holiday.
Oh, it was lovely. I'm sure it was. Only one
child drowned. Anal. Guess the intro. Oh, no,
wait, there wasn't a guess the intro. There wasn't
a guess the intro. So we have no winners. No
one gets a shout out. Stop, no, don't. I was
going to do you my own guess the intro. What?
I was going to do my own guess the intro for
you. What do you mean? You've got to guess the
intro, you bastard. Whatever. Oh, well, fuck
you then. No, no, go and press stop record now.
No, no, we're in the next section now. Talk about
what you've been up to, making that guess the
intro. Well, I was making you guess the intro
with the A -team there if you hadn't guessed
the quality of the work there. There was Airwolf
there, there was going to be Battlestar Galactica,
but no, no. Right, sci -fi stuff. Trail of Hoppers
came out, which I showed you a couple of weeks
ago, by the time this comes out. Looks absolutely
brilliant. Yes, it's the weird CGI animation
that makes it all look like crap CGI Wallace
and Gromit. But the premise I really like. And
I love the fact that in the trailer it's like,
so you made Avatar. It's not Avatar! Yeah. I
like this. Yeah, it was a really good trailer.
I'm excited to watch it. Well, there's not too
much ruin by it. So if we go by kind of trailers,
I think one of the reasons I didn't give 28 years
later as high a score as I did. was because the
trailer makes it look so much more exciting than
it actually is. The trailer is actually better
than the film. Which, in pacing and style, I
should say. There's lots of positives. Anyway,
so yeah, we saw the trailer for Hoppers. Very
excited by that. I haven't caught up on Star
Trek. I bought Golden Tee, the arcade machine.
which is our gaming discussion. It's not glass
over that, yeah. Oh, yes. Stroking its ball at
the moment. So if you don't know what Golden
Tee is and you don't listen to the Variety Show,
which we've had the same conversation on, it
is a golf arcade game that used to be found in
pubs from the late 90s to the mid -2000s. And
it's just you slam as hard as you can on a trackball
to try and make your golfer get as far on the
course as you can and then do some putting. And
whether you like golf games or not, it's one
of these weirdly addictive games It doesn't matter.
You're going to enjoy it and you're going to
have fun. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so we've got the
home arcade version of that now in the office.
So I'm quite happy that my home office stroke
games room stroke man den or whatever you want
to call it is pretty much finished now. Yeah.
Otherwise, sci -fi wise, I don't think there's
been much other than watching War of the Worlds,
watching the weird ass versions of it that are
on YouTube. You were. Yeah, there's been a couple
of modern ones on there that have been complete
remakes done in a modern style, done very, very
cheaply for not even the sci -fi channel, but
like the movie channel. Then, did you know there's
War of the Worlds 2? Which is meant to follow
on from the Tom Cruise version. Oh, no. And that's
the Sci -Fi Channel special. And, oh, that's
all kinds of special. But we'll get onto that
when we actually talk about the film. Otherwise,
I'm pretty lacking on sci -fi stuff this week.
Yeah? Yeah. It's just been a work week, actually,
to be fair. It's been a heavy load at work with
project work. So I'm pretty mentally undone by
all of that. Oh. So, yeah. Well, this is going
to make up for last week's. Last week's giant
episode, yeah. No, I think we'll probably talk
quite a bit about War of the Worlds, though.
Enter authorization code. What have I been doing?
So, we've watched some films. Three films, in
fact. All of which I thoroughly enjoyed. Whoa!
Now, that's a rare case. Yeah, now, which one
I'd put in... I haven't quite decided yet. We
might make that decision now as we speak. Okay.
Maybe we'll workshop it. Are these all sci -fi
films? I don't think any of them are. Oh, in
that case, if we're not actually focusing on
sci -fi and gaming, then I did watch some other
things very quickly. Me and Jim started watching
Underage and Pregnant from back in the 2000s.
Hang on, hang on, hang on. Your section's over.
Your section's over. I don't care. Your section's
over. I don't know. We can't talk about you.
It's about me now. We're also watching a show
called Virgin Island where basically these English
people have gone to an island and there's sex
therapists who have sex with them and it's awkward.
Yeah, but they're all virgins, right? Oh, yeah.
Yeah, they're all virgins. All but her are virgins,
right? The sex therapist. There's loads of sex
therapists. Oh, can we watch a clip of this later?
By episode two. No one's a virgin anymore. One
of them, poor old Zach, is basically so gagging
for it. He's like, no, I'm ready to have sex.
Why are you on the island then? To have sex.
There's this period where they're like, we're
going to test our animal instincts. And basically
the sex therapist sat on the floor and made one
of them circle round her while they circled around,
pretending to be animals, and then just started
rubbing up against each other, making very horrendous...
So then the lads are just like spunking in their
pants. We reckon a fair few of them have spunked
in their pants by now. There's one who basically
had to go and have a one -on -one session because
they were a bit worried about him, which basically
meant their sex therapist was, I'm going to touch
you now. I'm going to let you hold. I want you
to kiss my neck. Oh, I feel so special. Is there
any part of me that you'd like to touch? Can
I touch your breasts? Of course. And his hands
just like, if he'd been Superman, she would have
been through the fucking wall and in the ocean.
So then they fuck? They haven't fucked yet, but
they will fuck these poor people. They will?
Yeah. Well, they've said they're going to. Well,
that's the aim of the island, to lose. What I
think they're aiming for is the people just to
fuck each other, the ones that are all virgins,
just to get on with each other. But actually,
the sex therapists are all licensed in the way
of doing sex therapy, which means they also have
sex with their therapy clients. Is this on the
NHS? I think we know now why it's based on an
island. Yes, that's what they've been doing with
that man's island. Epstein's island. Oh, no.
That's a lovely looking island, but Jesus. It's
already got a staff. Probably got lube as well.
That's where all P. Diddy's keep keeping all
of his fucking baby oil. Oh, don't. I've seen
the picture of that cupboard. It's like, what
on earth? So I need to get my head around, are
the sex therapists attractive? No, not to me
then. Anyway, one's quite old. Okay. And there
are women or some men. Oh, there's men as well.
Okay. So now therapy is therapy. And, you know,
like when you get a proper massage, it shouldn't
matter whether you have a man or a woman doing
it because you're there because you need the
fitness. So you say you're straight. Well, we
want you to taste both sides of this. And this
is Channel 4. So what we want you to do. Just
the adjective to use. True. Taste. We know you
want to have sex with a woman, but we thought
we'll get our male sex therapist to have a go
with you as well. But to be fair... Virginity
is virginity. But if they're actually just trying
to... you know, get through some, to break some
barriers and not actually have sex with at this
stage, it would be more important to put the
male therapist with the male clients because
then they're not actually going to have sex.
I've not actually seen the male therapists do
anything yet. They've just all been sat there
scribbling away and clapping when someone's gone
on the floor and gone, huh, huh, or joined in.
I love the idea of all the women being really
emotionally involved and the men are back going,
oh yes. Oh, it's just so funny how closed off
all these people are as well. So you've got this
like 12 people all sat there watching the therapists
and one of the therapists will stand up. Now
we're going to do what I call the wall technique.
And one of the male therapists walks over and
pins her against the wall, hands above her, kicks
her legs apart, and then starts nuzzling her
neck. And then it pans back to these 12 virgins.
And they've all got pillows over their face,
trying not to watch because it's so awkward.
I'd find that awkward, and I don't think I'm
introvert. It's quite awkward when it's a granny.
Oh, right. And was it a young lad and the granny?
Yeah. What time are you watching this? Were you
and Gem watching this just in your living room
at like six o 'clock in the afternoon? No, this
is just before sexy time. You're safe if she
doesn't listen to this one. No, I know. No, we're
watching on E4. And yeah, all the kids have gone
to bed. Right, okay. I didn't mean what channel.
I meant what time, what room. In the evening
when no one else is around. Barry White on the
radio. Dido, darling, Dido. Fuck Dido. Got fucking
white flags everywhere. Sorry, back to your section
now, which I've completely taken over. You spoke
more in my section than you did in your own.
Well, it's because I was aiming at sci -fi stuff
and then you're the one that just said, oh, well,
no, it's not sci -fi films. Then why are we talking
about it on the sci -fi show? No, because we
always just talk anything but sci -fi. That's
the whole point of this. Go and then write three
films. Right. And you're going to live rate them.
Yeah. Well, we're going to do it together because
you might have seen them. It's like Virgin Island
all over. First one, K -pop Demon Hunters. Never
seen it. What do you rate it out of 10? One out
of 10 because I've not seen it. And it sounds
dreadful. No, it does sound dreadful. I'm going
to explain it to you. And once I've explained
it to you, you'll understand how brilliant it
is. Gangnam Style? Nope. So, it's 3D animation.
Your favourite kind, slightly Wallace and Gromit.
Oh, God. But only weirdly at the beginning. And
like one or two characters. The rest of the time,
it's not like that at all. It's very odd. So,
a girl band. Is this one of the ones that are
kind of like the Sony animation for Spider -Man?
It is Sony animation. So like the Spider -Man.
But I would like to say the animation style is
great. The way they use the 3D stuff to do visual
comedy. is very reminiscent of anime. Well, basically
it is anime because it's Korean. And it's hilarious.
It's brilliant. So, the plot. Three girls are
a Korean pop band. Hence the K -pop girl band
bit. And they also happen to be... Demon Hunters?
Gotcha. Okay, so the literal title. So that's
got the most difficult part of the storyline
out of the way for you. Now, what they're trying
to do is keep, so the demons are like underground
in hell, basically. And there's this thing called
the Hunmun, which is like this shield, this blue
shimmery shield across the world, which keeps
them underground. Generations and generations
of women. whatever kind of music it is, they
do their music and their music keeps them underground.
Recharges the Hunmen. But there's this special
one called the Golden Hunmen, which no one's
ever done. And if you make the Hunmen go from
blue to gold, it will permanently stay gold for
eternity and the demons can never come back again.
Now this... Until next season. Until next...
Well, this is a film rather than a season. Until
the sequel. Until the sequel. K -pop Demon Hunters
2. Now, I completely made me lose track. This
is such a complicated story. Oh, yeah, so the
gold huntsman. Anyway, so this gold band are
really close. They're doing these songs and they
can see it shimmering gold. And the demon's like,
oh, fuck this. We can't have this anymore. So
instead of the demons constantly trying to just
kill the demon hunters, instead they make the
idea of making a boy band. to battle them. And
the way they'll be able to save it is because
they're going to steal the fans away from the
female Korean band. And that's the plot. And
the music is brilliant. I was laughing out loud.
The action is great. The art style is great.
It's a really fun film. You should watch it with
K. Honestly, it's a PG. PG. T's been watching
a bit of it. It's not really his thing at the
moment. Fair enough. All my nieces have watched
it. They're all singing it at grandparents the
weekend as soon as they found out I'd watched
it. And yeah, really, really, really good. So
I do recommend that for everybody. The next one
was... Rating? Oh, sorry. Out of... Oh, we've
got to do... What is it? 2 .4 to 6. No, no, no,
no. This is a different show. It's 1 .7 and 9.
Oh. Yeah, that's a good one. 1 .7 to 9. Okay.
Well, I'm going to put that high. I'm going to
give that a 7 point. And you're only allowed
one word. Popalicious. 7 point Popalicious. I'll
let you get away with that this time. What do
you mean? What's wrong with that Popalicious?
I'm just saying, I'm letting you get away with
it. Didn't say there was anything wrong. Oh,
dear. Fucking hell. Fucking accusatory over there,
you wanker. You're the one coming up with these
mean things. Right, okay. Next one was the most
recent Hunger Games. Oh, the Ballad of the Curly
Whirly Snake. The Ballad of Ice and Fire. I really
enjoyed it. Yeah, it was great. Another one.
I was not expecting it. Now, this has a link
to the other film I watched because the way that
their film is, it's in parts, like five parts.
So it goes part one does this, part two does
this, part three does this. You get the black
screen and it tells you part two. Yeah, I really
enjoyed it. Completely surprised. Didn't think
I'd enjoy it or wasn't really fussed by it. The
Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Thank you. Songbirds
and Snakes, yeah. Peter Dinklage in it was good
too. Yes. He sometimes is a bit like, eh, but
actually, yeah, he was great in it. And as much
as I don't like Lucy Zegler or whatever, Rachel
Zegler, sorry. Yeah. She played a really good
role in it. She was great in it. The main role
character for Lucy, she was brilliant in it.
Singing voice was brilliant. I know that you
and I have got issues with her and other things,
and I think the Snow White. Well, she's in Snow
White, isn't she? That's meant to be fucking
dreadful. But in this, yeah, great. Really enjoyed
it. I don't really know what to say. It's more
Hunger Games stuff, but it was really interesting
trying to figure out how the snow guy was going
to turn into the snow that you know from the
other three. So that was really interesting,
kind of trying to figure out when did he become
a wanker? Because he's not always away. He's
actually quite nice. Well, this is it. The idea
is it shows how he's been broken down. And I've
got to say, I think as much as Peter Dinklage's
character is good in it, in fact, all the characters
are good in it, it's Viola Davis's character
in it. She plays the creepy doctor. Oh, yeah.
Dr. Volumnia Call. Yeah, well, she plays... She's
Peacemaker, Suicide Squad. She always plays some
head honcho. Amanda Waller. Amanda Waller, yeah,
that's it. She is just a phenomenal actress,
and she absolutely makes this. Yeah. It's just
utterly wonderful. And I'm going to rate this
a seven, as well, point. Cat piss. That's one
word. Okay. Not because cat piss is a bad thing,
but that's what Katniss Everdeen is called in
the books. She gets called cat piss never clean.
And they get that out of the fucking films, didn't
they? They did. And the last one was. So at the
moment for me, that's the top film. K -pop's
at the bottom because I haven't seen it. Yeah.
It's interesting, but I haven't seen it. And
this was Fury Road. I haven't seen Fury Road.
I think the thing that I'm going to... Very quickly,
before you get into your review of it. The thing
that I'm going to say about Fury Road, I've seen
a fair few clips of it. And I don't know if they
had a change of, not art department, but the
graphics team. It felt very much a lot of the
effects felt like they missed the mark in comparison
to the previous Mad Max that they'd done. But
that's just the clips I've seen. Is it called
Fury Road? The one where it's about Furiosa?
Oh, no, sorry. Fury Road. Yeah, Mad Max Fury.
Furiosa is the new one. That's the one I mean.
Sorry, that's the one I mean. It seemed that
it didn't look as good quality -wise in how everything's
been done. I can't see about the story and the
acting and everything else like that because
obviously I've not seen it. I was a huge fan
of Mad Max Fury Road. I thought it was absolutely
bloody brilliant. Yeah, absolutely wonderful.
I got a chance to... Actually, I missed it at
the cinema. I'd never saw it on streaming. And
it came back to the cinema. So I got a chance
to see it on the big screen. It's like, this
is fucking brilliant. Yeah, I saw that on IMAX.
Yeah. So Furiosa. I was a little bit confused
at the beginning because I thought that Chris
Hemsworth was... I thought it was meant to be
so far in before Mad Max that... His character
was the main bad guy. Sorry, everyone, we might
have to pause it so I can remember what his name
is. You know, the one, the actor's sadly died
now, who's the bad guy in all the Mad Max ones.
He's actually the bad guy in all the Mad Max
films. He has the mask, you know, he has the
mask thing. Yeah, I know the one you mean. People
are going to be screaming at their radios. for
me not remembering his fucking name. Immortan
Joe. Immortan Joe, yeah, that actor has sadly
passed away. Hugh Keith Byrne, yeah. And I think
he passed away before this film came out, so
it's interesting how they did such a fucking
brilliant job to have him look and sound exactly
the same. Anyway, I thought that's what this
was about. I thought it was how her and Immortan
Joe became tied together, and that Immortan Joe
was being played by Chris Hemsworth. That's what
I thought. It's not that at all. It is how she
gets to be with Morton Joe. It's her survival
story, isn't it, basically? Yeah, but Chris Hemsworth's
character is a completely different character.
And he's like the reason how she ends up with
Morton Joe. And I don't want to say too much
because you haven't seen it, and I really think
you should. Okay, that's fair play. If we're
talking about the CGI stuff of it, I didn't think
there was any problems with it. As I say, it
was just the clips I've seen. And don't forget,
a lot of those clips have been on TikTok, so
they've been heavily compressed and whatever.
So there's a good chance that it's just the bits
and pieces I've seen haven't made it look brilliant.
So on the bigger screen, it probably will look
better. So I wasn't really fussed about seeing
it, but I've been building a cinema last week,
building one for a client, and they have a 98
-inch screen. And I walked in on my... my employer
testing it, quote unquote, and he was watching
Furiosa. Furiosa, sorry. And I was like, oh,
this actually looks really cool. And I sat there,
I watched it in about five minutes. I was like,
actually, yeah, I think I might watch this. And
I was like, turn it off now because I don't want
to spoil it. Yeah, sorry, it's Furiosa, a Mad
Max story. Yes. And yeah, so then literally that
night, I said to Miranda, we're watching a film,
so let's watch this. And yeah, I really, really,
really enjoyed it. I thought it was great. It's
one of those things where you think, oh, here
we go. Sorry, everybody, but they've changed
the standard man character now. They put a woman
there. They've done this. But actually, the actress
is great. It's a very strong female character.
It's not just they've just decided to put a woman
on screen. Yeah, so it's Anya Taylor -Joy, isn't
it, playing the role? And she does really well
in it. It's got the guy who's in The Three Musketeers,
the old BBC series. Oh, right, yeah. You know,
the guy who's got the kind of scar on his lip.
He's in it. That was a nice surprise to see him
in it. Yeah, and Chris Hemsworth does a wicked
job as the bad guy. He should be a bad guy way
more because he does a really good bad guy. Well,
it's him being full on Aussie from what I've
been told. Oh, yeah, I think he's doing his actual
voice. Yeah, he's actually being Australian for
once. And he does really well. And it's a fine
line of really, is he actually a bad guy? Because
when you, he does arsehole things. Yeah. But
there's almost a slight greater good to when
he's being a wanker. It's like he's being a bigger...
He wants to be in charge of everything, but there
is also kind of like he just wants to be in charge
of everything. But, I mean, you could argue they're
in the desolate waste worlds of Earth as it is
after the whole oil and everything's gone wrong
and wars and so on. So, actually... what evil
could you do? And actually, which evil turns
out to be, well, that's actually kind of required
if you want to have your, let's say, clan survive.
The thing is, he's not evil in that night, because
they could easily have done, oh, he's really
bad. He's got women slaves and he's raping them.
There's none of that. None of it. He gets Furiosa
when she's a little girl kid. And there's no
sign of her ever getting injured, abused. I was
going to say they could have done the whole child
rape thing. There is nothing, no sign of it.
There is a bit where she's kind of tied. up in
a cage with this old guy who they call, like,
the speaker or whatever because he's old and
he knows all the past stuff. Yes. But that's
because she's a little fucking terror and she
keeps trying to escape and stuff so she's tied
her up to stop her escaping, you know. And then,
like, he appears to treat her quite well and,
like, you know, later on he doesn't when she's
an adult and she's trying to kill him. But as
a kid... It's a bit, you know, his storyline,
he's got like a teddy bear. And it's according
to his storyline, as he tells it. He had kids
and it was their teddy bear. I'm not entirely
sure that's true. I think that's a plot line
he invents for himself in his universe. But yeah,
if I'm going to rate it, it's out of nine, isn't
it? That's an eight point Furiosa. I think actually,
think about it. Yeah, that's probably the best
of them out of the three. Yeah, and I think we're
going to have to have a discussion at some point
for you to understand what sci -fi is, because
I think we said this at the beginning of the
Untitled Sci -Fi Show. It's sci -fi fantasy when
we're talking about films, isn't it? Because
fantasy so often leaks into sci -fi. It's so
rare you go onto a streaming platform now and
you've just got a dedicated sci -fi. It's almost
always sci -fi and fantasy now. And all three
of those are, I would count Mad Max as science
fiction. Because I'm thinking of spaceships.
I'd also argue The Hunger Games is science fiction.
Yeah, it's just in my head when I'm saying science
fiction, I'm thinking of space ships. We think
Star Trek, but actually, realistically, if you
think about what science fiction is, it's to
do with it being fiction and weird shit. Yeah.
So, yeah, I suppose I have watched some science
fiction stuff. Aside from that, I've not played
a single game since we last recorded. No. Not
a single game. Been too busy doing other stuff.
Oh, shit, I played Robocop. And I played Golden
Tee with you. Yeah, we played Golden Tee. I played
Robocop Rogue City. Really good. It's painful
when you start playing because as you're playing
as Robocop, even with the run that they put in,
it's slow. But that's what you expect Robocop
to be. Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, it's an interesting
game. We need to sit down and you need to have
a play on it because it's an interesting premise
of a game. It's not your typical shooter, but
it's also... It's also a bit mystery, puzzle
-solving. Yeah, it's an interesting one. I wouldn't
say I'm besotted by it. I think it's clever.
I can't see myself completing it, though. No.
That's it, then. Shit, we've got to talk about
a film. Accessing library computer data. One,
two, three o 'clock, four o 'clock, rock. It's
time for War of the Worlds 1953. Because Jive
Bunny is from 1953. Is it? No, I'm just making
that up, I don't think. I know they do shit music
from then, but... Anyway, yeah, War of the Worlds,
1953. Often considered a proper sci -fi classic.
I'll be honest, I loved it as a kid. It freaked
me out as a kid. I can see that. Especially a
couple of moments in it, which, in fact, we get
a moment of that kind of relived in the Tom Cruise
version of War of the Worlds, which I thought
was quite nice. But looking back at it now, especially
with an older head on my shoulders, and especially
now knowing the story that H .G. Wells wrote
for War of the Worlds, oh, it's pony. It's bad.
Yeah, I don't... Well, I've... listens to the
audiobook of the hd wells or the world and that's
way better than this film was yeah so for those
of you that don't know so hd wells bloke that
wrote also the time machine classic classic book
terrible films especially the modern film he
did invisible man as well i believe so yeah yeah
yeah first is it the men on the first men on
the moon or men on the moon because they go in
a in a in a ball like a globe yeah he basically
he genuinely is one of the forefathers if not
the father of science fiction writing and if
you look at the original world of the worlds
and i'm not talking about the orson wells radio
version either i'm talking about the original
book guess what it's not set in fucking america
No, but there was a nice bit near the end where
they really started sucking off the UK's cock.
Oh, yeah. Like saying, hey, put on a marvellous
show. Oh, yes. But yeah, so the original book
is all based in, I think it's just, it's up the
Thames in, oh, where's the, Richmond. Yes, it's
based in kind of Richmond, if I remember rightly.
And it's all set Victorian, late Victorian era.
Yeah. It's a very, very different story. And
then if you look at the War of the Worlds that
we know with little Tommy Cruise, that's closer
to the H .G. Wells story, bizarrely, than the
1953 film is. The BBC's three -part series they
did was pretty good. Yeah, so there's been a
lot. There's a few different ones, actually,
because there's also one... That's like a modern
one. It has like robot dogs running around. Right.
So, yeah. So you've got the 1953 War of the Worlds,
which technically then got carried on in 1988
from the War of the Worlds TV series. Right.
I don't know if this was British or not. I'm
just looking at the names now. It looks American.
I'm pretty sure it's American. And if you read
the tag for it, humanity must resume its war
against the Martians when they revive after decades
of hibernation following their defeat in the
1950s. So that is a direct follow on. You've
then got a 2005 video, which is called War of
the Worlds. And it's just titled HG Worlds, War
of the Worlds. And this is the one I watched
on YouTube. And to give you an idea of the quality
of this. That, I'm showing Rob a picture now,
is what the alien tripods look like. Well, it's
got four legs and it looks like a crab. So that's
odd straight away. So yeah, you've got that weird
one. You've got another TV series in 2019, which
I hadn't heard of. I'm intrigued to see what
that one's like. But that, again, looks very
much like it's been filmed for... I'm just looking
at some film shots of it now. And you can always
tell the kind of... sci -fi oh seasons i was
a tv series so it got to three i was an epics
original series so i'm pretty sure they did stuff
for sci -fi channel you always kind of can tell
that sort so you know that's probably going to
be pretty rough um but there's been loads loads
of war of the world stuff um of which i don't
think any of it's really been that good even
i'm not a fan of the tom cruise film yeah that's
blasphemy Well, you can take it like you took
the white Maltesers. What, ten in my mouth? Hang
on a moment. Hang on a moment. How did we miss
this? Well, actually, before I bring this one
up, though, so, yeah, you've got one of the Baldwin
brothers doing War of the Worlds Extinction in
2024. Oh, rough. War of the Worlds 2. which from
the look of it now follows on from that weird
War of the Worlds I told you about. The War of
the Worlds, the musical drama. No, no, no. Wait.
Wait. It's an audible original. Okay. Are you
ready for some of the names? I've got a credit.
I could get this. One of the names is Michael
Sheen. I love Michael Sheen. Michael Sheen's
in it. Yeah, Michael Sheen's brilliant. Okay.
How about, Taron Egerton. Well, he's an amazing
singer. How about Ade Edmondson of Bottom? Oh,
my God. This sounds amazing. This is on Audible.
This is an Audible thing, apparently, yeah. An
Audible original production in which HG World's
classic War of the Worlds is revisited. Hang
on, pause a second. Where's the pause button?
Pause... On the screen top left. Right, okay,
we're ready this time. Yeah, I'm moving away
from the mic so I can listen to this. Okay. I'll
be back. One second, everyone, we're going to
do a preview. Sci -fi reference. Jeff Wayne's
The War of the Worlds, the musical drama based
upon the classic science fiction story by H .G.
Wells, adapted from a musical version by Doreen
Wayne and for audio by Richard Curty and Bev
Doyle. an audible original drama composed arranged
directed and produced by jeff wayne chapter one
no one would have believed in the last years
of the 19th century his voice but human affairs
were being watched by intelligences which inhabited
the timeless worlds of space Do I skip forward
to hear some singing? envious eyes we probably
should so we don't get a copyright strike well
i don't know they've got all of their credits
at the beginning true it's a music starting yes
they drew their plans against us oh so this is
the classic jeff wayne music oh hello yeah this
is good This isn't going to go well on our YouTube,
is it? They need to get those bells on the cathedral.
Right, I'm just going to skip ahead a bit. Now
when they say... Yeah, let's go back. They'd
also see cities crowded with people, ships on
the oceans. A planet that's already occupied.
I fear they would only see what they regard as
inferior animals. But living creatures, nonetheless.
Spirit. Look closely. There's some new music
coming. There. I think. A reddish flash. Was
that it? That makes four. In as many nights.
And if each one is a missile... What people can't
see is TJ and I fucking bob into this. ...would
be their only hope of escaping from a dying planet.
Trust me. The chances of anything coming from
Mars are a million to one. All right, just so
everyone knows, I had a credit and I just brought
it. So, yeah. Oh, that bass. That sounded like
it was just going to drop into the Doom theme.
I'm going to start that tomorrow. Oh, I'm well
happy with that. That was great. Thank you, IMDB,
for that. So obviously that's building on the
Jeff Wayne album. So Jeff Wayne did the... I'm
guessing it was in the 70s or 80s version of
The War of the Worlds, and it's amazing. It's
a musical, and it's just phenomenal. Love it.
Synths, you name it, it's brilliant. That sounds
like he's taken that and then gone, no, I actually
want acting in it now. Yeah, whereas I thought
it was going to be a musical. Which was what
I had in my head. There's an alien over there.
He's coming to get me. It's a blinding tripod.
I spit in his face and I killed him. Yeah, that's
what I was expecting. Okay, so we watched it.
What did we think? I still enjoy it as a classic
sci -fi film. It's brilliant. Comparing it to
the original H .G. Wells story, I just don't
think you can. You've got to just treat it as
a UFO story. Let me bring up my notes on it.
I'll say, while you're getting your notes, I'll
say, as an old alien film, I enjoyed it. As War
of the Worlds, I didn't. Yeah, exactly. As an
alien film, brilliant. Anything else, no. The
special effects. When you consider the age of
it. Yeah, at the age of it, I thought that, I
thought actually you were very good. You know,
I did like, I've written, I liked the red laser.
I thought that was pretty good. I have a soft
spot, like we had with the octopus thing, where
they had the lasers in that. I said to you, I
liked that. I've got a soft spot for however
those old films do those. I'm pretty sure they
don't even call them a laser. I think they call
it a heat ray in this, don't they? Because lasers
hadn't been invented at this point. So it's literally
something like heat ray, or they call it something.
But the noise that they chose for it as well,
that kind of... Synth -y, high -pitched, resonating.
That was brilliant. Yeah, I was calling them
laser beams from the laser snake. I was calling
the thing that comes out of a laser snake. Laser.
Which later on I started calling it the space
freak penis because it was... Yeah. What about
one of my favourite bits in the film? Don't worry.
It's like sign language. Even they'll understand
this as they walk up with their white flag. And
then who cares? It's innocent people. They just
get obliterated. I think Mars Attacks copied
this film when it comes to the destruction of
killing people. It just disintegrated. There's
a great one where one of the head army men actually
turns into a skeleton. He's like skeletonified.
Can you imagine? No. Bear in mind, and this is
why... A bit of me loves it just for what it
is. This would have been what's considered an
early colour film. And it's so vivid in the colours
they've chosen. Well, just the eyes. The eyes
of the little alien dude. Why the little alien
dude's so small, I don't know. No neck. I laughed.
out loud when you see him run in the background
of that window shot as i was like that's not
the alien and then his fucking hand on her shoulder
you know what that is still better than signs
i'm not so sure oh i'm 100 sure that is still
better than huh we're going to invade this planet
what's the one thing that we're really scared
of by the way water right And the planet we're
going to is made up of mainly what? Mostly water.
Right, we'll still invade here. I'm sure it's
going to be fine. Just stay away from the water.
It comes out the sky. It's just signs of a bad
film. I can see why one of the scary movie, I
think Scary Movie 3 rips the piss out of it massively.
So there was a lot of things I really did like
about it, I've got to say. So the narrator, he
was brilliant, the narrator. I don't know who
it was. He had a great voice. I think the final
monologue I didn't like. It wasn't impactful
enough. It's like, oh yeah, by the way, everyone
got a cold and died. It was kind of like, that's
kind of how it ended. It's basically, yeah, we
know that. Almost a bit. To an extent, as much
as we like the thing, I find the end of the thing
ever so slightly disappointing because you don't
feel like you're getting a valid conclusion.
I know it kind of leads off to the idea of...
it gives you the ability to walk away and go,
what happens next, I wonder? But there's a little
bit of non -satisfactory feeling there, and this
is exactly the same in this. And I would say,
actually, with this being 1950s America, and
knowing how God -fearing that bloody country
is... Oh, fucking hell, we knew it from the fucking
movie. This movie is so much... It feels more
like... It wasn't the world coming together that
did this. Oh, the churches basically did all
of this. That's what it comes across as, isn't
it? It basically says God killed them. All the
bloody bell ringing and so on. I've got to say,
I have to disagree on one point with the thing.
That I think the dissatisfaction of the ending
of the thing is purposeful. But I don't think
it's purposeful on this. I think this is just
not a very good... they didn't hit the mark on
the actual monologue at the end. But the way
that the thing ends, it's very purposely done
that way. Because it purposely wants you to think
about it. I'm one of these people that watch
a crime drama, it gets to the court, and I would
happily have another 15 minutes on the end of
the film so I could watch what happens in court
and make sure they get put away sort of thing.
I like things kind of tidied up at the end. I
agree, the end is a narrative shrug. They're
almost like, eh. It's done now. And for a film
that's basically centred around a physicist,
there's fuck all science by him or kind of scientific
skill by that man at all through it. Yeah, he
was odd because, I mean, his interactions with
the woman were very creepy. Not like... Creepy
as in sexually creepy, just creepy as in one
minute he's being very serious and the next minute
he's looking at her like, hmm. And then there's
another bit where he's like, she's like fainted
or something and he's just like staring over
and just like, oh, fucking roulette. Like, they
just had so much of that era in it. Yeah. I mean,
it's not as bad as the Quatermass experiment
with the police officer going home to his wife.
Yeah, that was quite funny at the same time.
You can look back on that and actually find that
funny. Whereas, the woman in this did nothing
for women's rights. You know what I mean? She
did nothing for women in this. It's stereotypical
standards for the era. Yeah, awful. Exactly how
they always paint women in it. And I keep complaining
about this. We're watching these old films and
I'm going to keep complaining about it. It winds
me up. Stop screaming. There are some films that
will do it properly, I promise you, but this
is not one of them. No, absolutely not. And I
do feel that they were very flat. There was nothing
really to them. There was no true character building
to them. It's almost like the film whizzed into
them too much. Normally I say films do far too
much story building. In this case, I don't feel
that there was enough for their characters. It's
just like, I'm a physicist and now we're into
the film. Brilliant, okay. It was interesting
watching this when I've seen the Tom Cruise one
quite a few times to watch the certain plot positions,
which... are in that one too like when so when
they break into that farmer's house and just
set them up a full massive dinner service for
themselves with a couple of eggs each all the
china was out on the table which i thought was
very odd um and then that house kind of gets
destroyed and they're kind of stuck in there
i think that's the scene that in the tom cruise
one where he's in that wreckage of that farmhouse
with his daughter and that farmer or that guy
And they're living in that wreckage for a few
days, aren't they? I think that's that scene.
I think that's meant to be the same scene. And
that's that whole creepy scene where Tom Cruise
is like, I want you to close your eyes now. Yeah,
because of that guy. Because I'm basically going
to murder this man. Is that guy trying to get
with his daughter? Is that the impression I always
got? That's kind of, I think, the idea that you
get with it, yeah. Yeah, which is fucking gross.
It just had, yeah, there's a lot of moments like...
I was just trying to think of that. So I just
really noticed a lot of times. I just met everywhere.
But what I liked, I'll tell you what I did like.
Whenever they did the army scenes or any of the
men talking about stuff, there wasn't really
other than the scientist himself where he had
moments of being a prick because he was a prick.
He was a prick. There was no like obscene kind
of. masculinity to any of the army men or anything
everyone was very polite and everyone's like
understanding who's in charge no one's coming
in and being like i'm taking over like in america
normally have the fbi and the cia and everyone's
deciding about who's in charge when the general
come in everyone just agreed he's in charge yeah
and it's like fine but then you've got a scientist
coming in you got another guy coming in the dude
fucking swinging doors on the the end on the
barracks here for the top secret stuff It was
all very civil. And I was like, I like this.
No, there's just none of that. Oh, I'm in charge.
None of that bollocks. You know, she's going
around with a massive tray of tea, coffee, and
all those different pastries and things. I thought
it was quite sweet. You know? Yeah. Yeah, there's
loads of little moments like that I quite liked.
But the space... The fact they nuke. They atom
bombed it, didn't they? That was a good scene,
actually, how they did that. That guy on top
of the fucking truck. I knew he was in for trouble
and the atom bomb goes off and he goes flying
off the truck. That was quite funny. There's
a lot to like about it. All those people got
blind on the hill. Oh, God. They were all being
completely blinded. It's very disjointed as a
film, isn't it? No one seems to know what they're
doing. And I know that kind of actually makes
a bit of sense. Alien invasion, what the fuck
do we do? It's aliens. But I'd like to think
if it was now, it would just be treated as a
military incursion. So that's how it would fall.
Whereas, like you say, the fist just runs up
at points. Do this. And the army's just like,
who are you? Yeah, come on, we'll do that. Yeah.
Really? That's how you're going to operate? That's
not a good thing. One thing I did like is after,
you know, the failed atom bomb explosion, they're
like, OK, we've now got to get out of here. We've
got to go to this laboratory. We've got to get
all of our stuff and just clear it out. And there
wasn't like a special team doing it. The scientists
were doing it and getting their trucks and driving
off. And they didn't get away. They got mobbed
and beaten the shit out of by an angry mob and
lost everything. And there was something about
that I just thought. Yeah, that's what would
have happened. That's real life. He wouldn't
have got away. That's exactly probably what would
have happened. Just a hysteria of it. So the
bit where they get the alien eye. Yeah. That's
quite cool. They take it back to the laboratory,
don't they? And then they can see how the aliens
see. That was a cool scene. At the same time,
I was like, fucking hell, you've done well plugging
that eye in to that projector. This is it, isn't
it? And it's just like any science fiction film.
I keep seeing a trailer for it and I've got no
idea what this film is. I've got a feeling it
could even be fucking Aquaman. There's a bloke
on the beach and these people come out of the
sea and they've got this amazing water -powered
gun which he shoots and it blows up a mountain
in the distance. And the next thing, he's in
some sort of workshop himself and he's able to
take apart this alien or other person's weapon
and turn it into his own suit and stuff. It's
like... How? Tell me fucking how, because I'm
sorry, if an alien turns up here, I'm guessing
they're not using 1mm, 2mm and 3mm copper wire
in their shit. Yeah, probably not. It really
frustrates me when they do shit like that, because
it's like, oh, so we're just assuming the whole
galaxy has, oh yeah, by the way, we're also running
240 in the galaxy, so America, you're screwed,
I know you're at 110, you need 240, you're going
to need an inverter. I've got to look at some
of my notes here. So I called the alien the no
-necked meaty blob. Oh, I quite liked the alien.
I love the bit where his hair just goes plop
on her shoulder. Which is so stupid. And she's
like... And then he tries to talk and he's like...
My eyes! Yeah. My eyes! Oh, that's what they
said. British met Martians magnificently is what
they said on the little voiceover bit. So I went
to one of the spaceships. There was no tripods
in this. So it was weird floating ships with
the penises coming out. And this is the big,
big difficulty, isn't it? Because obviously in
the H .G. Wells story, they are the tripods.
That's what makes them so terrifying. And that's
what they did so well in the War of the Worlds
for the Tom Cruise film. They... You actually
felt quite terrified by their creation. They
were big. They were loud. They did that weird
siren noise, which was... I don't know if you've
ever come... You know there's this whole... I
don't think it's... It might be called Creepypasta.
There's all that weird stuff on YouTube. And
there's things like the Slender Man came from
it. There's Siren Head. Yeah. And I've watched
a few of them. And as cheesy as they... They
are terrifying. And it's the sound. Good sound
design will trump anything. And I'm just trying
to think of the film that it was now. It's fairly
recent. It was a weird sci -fi film, which we
should probably watch at some point. It's by
the bloke that did the film called Get Out. It's
called Up, is the film you're talking about.
Yeah, it's called Up, isn't it? Is it? Well,
I haven't watched it yet. So don't spoil it for
me because I really want to watch it. I really
want to watch it. We haven't got to it yet. Nope.
Nope. What am I saying? Up. Yeah, it's got blues.
That's Pixar. That's Pixar. Probably just as
fucked up. No, it's called Nope. And I can tell
you now, when you watch it, if you can, make
sure you've got the volume up or you're both
wearing headphones. Because the sound design,
I was in the cinema and I felt so uneasy. It
was horrible. Yeah, that guy, he's from that
comedy duo. What's his name? Jordan Peele? Who's
the guy? Yeah, Jordan Peele. Jordan Peele, yeah,
because he did Get Out, done Nope. He's done
another one. All of his films I've really, really
liked. Every one has been a hit. They've all
been fucked up. He does great horrors. Yeah,
he's done Us. Us, that's it. Yeah, that's really
fucked up, Us. Yeah, so just get back to War
of the Worlds. I can't say how long we've been
talking, 25 minutes. In conclusion, so the spaceships,
yeah, I really wish they had the tripods because
there's a few points where I was like, oh, these
ships are going to turn into the tripods. Because
if you, there was right at the beginning, they
come up and he's going on about, oh, they're
using the... changing the magnetic yeah pole
possible i thought oh then they must be repelling
themselves against the thing that's still underground
and actually it had three you actually see the
graphic they were using was three lines yes i
was like oh maybe this is it's going to come
out maybe this is just a bit floating above and
it's going to come out and connect to it and
go start walking around and it would have been
wicked i guess the argument is that if you had
done it with tripods In this era, the only way
they could have done tripods would have been
stop motion. Yeah, reclamation stuff. Well, it's
not even reclamation, it would have just been
stop motion. So they could have had a beautiful
made model like they did, but they would have
had to have three articulated legs, and any time
you see them, it would have been... the animation
for it and i can guarantee they wouldn't have
got anywhere near let's say 24 frames per second
let alone 30 frames or 60 frames whatever they
did film it in yeah so you know a bit like have
you ever seen the original jason and the argonauts
yeah as clever and amazing as a film that is
especially with the the skeletons and stuff like
that it's the best scene it's still you can tell
it's completely in different standard because
There's so few frames of animation being used.
And I think that would have broken it. Whereas
with that being the spaceship, the effects is
actually really good. And I'm guessing that's
because they filmed them on wires and they could
just film it. They absolutely were on wires.
Going at normal speed, which meant actually it
fit much better in with changing between people
and the ships themselves. So I kind of see why
they did it. going with the tripod design would
have been a lot more work and it wouldn't have
looked as good it just yeah it's so far from
the story yeah that you do have to question why
they did that though yeah they it's definitely
as wise i brought it on youtube and it was quite
a high quality version of it and you could straight
up see the wires so that's exactly how they were
doing it you could just see the cables in every
single shot you could see them hanging from them
but but yeah i i've got to say if i'm going to
give it some kind of conclusion. I think that
of all the War of the Worlds things I've seen,
I've seen a lot and I've listened to the book,
it's my least favourite. I think were I watching
films in 1953, I probably would have enjoyed
it. I can see how it would have been enjoyable.
The early world of sci -fi, this is all you had.
But when you look at what we have now and the
rich tapestry and variety that's available...
It doesn't stand up so well. So unless you're
happy to watch something with the appreciation
that it's old and one of the first of its type,
there is definitely better out there. I think
what let this film down was probably the writing,
the adaption of the book to film in this particular
instance, I think, is what let it down. Particularly...
You know, the pacing was very odd. They really
liked having long, drawn -out conversations.
I was going to say, but that seems to be a very
50s thing. Yeah. It's like kind of we've just
moved away from silent cinema. Not just, but
we've moved away from silent. We've now got colour.
And it's almost like people want a drama on screen,
don't they? So whereas sometimes we're happy
with a 10 -minute scene being... four or five
sentences spoken and the rest being action or
something happening, then it felt like, no, we
have to have talking because people aren't going
to be happy with just a screen of something happening
on it. The thing is, I love Tarantino films.
There's a lot of talking in Tarantino films.
And so it's not that I don't like that, but I
just think that when there is talking, make it
worth it. Yeah, and let's not forget this is
the era that... you have a man and a woman talking,
there's a good chance a man's going to shut up,
woman, and do what you're told is going to come
into it at some point. And it's almost always
that sentiment, isn't it? And that makes it very
difficult to really kind of appreciate what you're
trying to get on when we've moved away from that.
You're right with the pacing. I think with the
pacing, the beginning felt okay. The end felt
a bit rushed, like you said, with the German
warfare, kind of shrug your shoulders and it's
done. The middle bit... really was just talk
hide move destruction repeat i well speaking
of the moving when he gets in that fucking airplane
suddenly he kind of knows how to take it off
and then instantly crashes in front of another
alien i was like come on but yeah okay i think
i've had enough talking about it to be honest
i enjoy it it's it's one of those films that
It's never going to go away. It's a real intro
to sci -fi. It did its best for the era. There
is better stuff out there. Dare I say, the Tom
Cruise one is better. I preferred Quatermass
Experiment if I'm going to be rating these two
older films. It's a better story. Well, the Quatermass
Experiment, yeah. That's it. Goodbye. Goodbye
to this section. Transfer complete. We talked
about a sci -fi film! Yes, sci -fi! OK, so, firstly,
I'm just going to have a quick apology to James
because I promised him some mug watch in this
episode. Oh, shit, we did, didn't we? But because
I shouldn't be the one apologising, James. I'm
not the one who didn't watch the second episode
of Strange New Worlds. Please watch the second
episode of Strangely World so I can supply the
promised mug watch to the people. That's what
I'm going to say. I promise I will absolutely
watch that. I will. That's the first bit to do.
Starfleet honour. Speaking of Starfleet, fucking
hell, that trailer. If anybody wants to have
a bad day, go and watch the Starfleet trailer,
whatever it is. What's it called? Starfleet Academy.
Yeah, watch the trailer for that fucking hell.
Fuck, it looks like shit. Everyone who listens
to the show knows how I feel about Discovery.
Unfortunately, I've got a feeling when... Discovery
went to being good in season four and five, it's
probably because the writers moved off of Discovery
and by the look of it went to fucking write this
piece of shit. Because it's got all the hallmarks
of Discovery 1 to 3 all over it. Yeah, absolutely.
And I mean, one of the comments made me laugh
I saw online earlier. I'm so glad we've got Klingons
that look like Klingons again. So I went back
and watched the trailer. Yes, we have a Klingon
who vaguely looks like a TNG Klingon. However...
He sat in a window looking up the stars, missing
his home world. Yes, because that's what Klingons
do. They sit in the window and go... It's like,
for fuck's sake, can't you get anything right?
And this is meant to be set in a time where...
I don't know when it's going to be set. The Klingons
don't fucking look like that. Well, I don't...
I mean, there's lots of... Oh, so many arguments.
It's a marvel. I know what I'm talking about.
And you are wrong. You're wrong. You're wrong.
Can you guess what it is? It's shit! So many
arguments out there. Well, yes, but it's well
known that the Klingons did huge amounts of genetic
changes to their own race, which is why they
changed from white people in the original series
and became shit -covered head ridges in the TNG,
in the classic films. And that's why they look
so different in Discovery, because actually they're
all the same Klingon. It's just different ones
that you come across based on their genetic breeding.
Why can't they just admit it was budget? Which
is what it was. You got given a budget and Alexei
Sayle did this amazing... If anyone remembers
Alexei Sayle, the comedian, I'll show you it
later. He does a Star Trek piss take. Okay. And
he's Picard. And he walks in and you've got the
bloke dressed up as Worf. And he goes, Mr. Worf,
did you know it looks like you've put your head
in a bucket of shit? He looks at the result.
It does look like that. I didn't know. It's just
absolutely brilliant. Yeah, basically, if you
wanted to do cheap cosplay, go and buy a Mars
bar and stick it on your forehead. You're Mr.
Worf. But our point is, go ruin your day or your
evening by watching that trailer. In our opinion,
it's not very good. I'm sorry. I need to make
notes before this show, you know. I have seen
one more sci -fi thing. Oh, fucking hell. We're
well past that. I know. The Wild Robot. Oh, yeah,
of course you have. You have to watch it because
I was nearly sobbing at the end. Literally, I
turned my face away from my family because I
thought, they cannot see me sobbing nearly. I
was nearly gone at the end of that film. And
there are just so many fucking wonderful bits
in it. You have to watch it and then tell me
what you think of it. Okay, I'll find some time
to watch it. It's like an... An eight point crying.
It's brilliant. Eight point crying. Oh, yeah.
So next week's next episode is War of the Worlds.
Tom Cruise. 2005. Little Tommy Cruise. Command
functions are offline. Well, this was all over
the place this episode. It was absolutely all
over the place. Tangents! I don't know how this
is going to come out to somebody listening to
it, but I hope you enjoy it. Thank you very much
for listening. Thank you. This has been the Untitled

Prime. New show. Oh, sorry. Yes, Land Before
Prime. I forget it as well. Yeah, where we review.
I haven't done any yet. We had five -minute reviews
with spoilers of films that are not available
on streaming services, only on DVD. Cinema or
old media? Cinema or DVD. Or VHS or Blu -ray
or Minidisc or UMD if you've got your PSP. UMD
review of Predator. Yeah. That's it. I think
that's everything. Have I missed anything? No,
I think that's good. Thank you very much, everyone.
Love you. There will be, I guess the intro, you'd
have heard it. There is one at the start of this.
Is there? I can't remember. I can't remember
what it is. I think it might. You know what?
Let's look at it right now because I have made
notes on it. Let's find out if it was a special
one or not. What do we reckon? Is it a special
one? Let's go all the way down here. Oh, yeah.
This was meant to be the one. I was meant to
do this one before we went away. This is a connection.
This is a special one because I made a connection
too. So there is one, two, three, four, five.
There's six things. Okay. So there's six science
fiction related things in that intro. And then
you need to find the connection between all six.
Oh, I like it. Like the pub quiz days. So this
is an, it's an easy one. The connection's easy
for the first time I'm doing it because that's
what I did with Guess the Intro. The first few
Guess the Intro's easy. And then after that,
I'm going to make them difficult. So I'll do
more connection ones, but they will be difficult.
Okay, no, that's cool. I like it. But for now,
the first one, I think it's going to be easy
to get probably all of them and also easy to
guess the connection. Awesome. But yeah, just
testing the water with it. Nice. I like it. Bye.
Bye. Thank you for listening to the Untitled
Sci -Fi Show. This station is now shutting down
and will be back in two weeks. May the Force
live long and prosper inside of you.
