WEBVTT 00:00:02.609 --> 00:00:04.410 Biggest batter slayer in the game doesn't seem 00:00:04.410 --> 00:00:07.809 like much, does he? Never lick. Bite straight 00:00:07.809 --> 00:00:10.130 to the chocolatey center of the Tootsie Pop. 00:00:10.230 --> 00:00:12.810 I want you to set up a romantic rendezvous between 00:00:12.810 --> 00:00:16.710 me, Serena Williams, and Martha Stewart. This 00:00:16.710 --> 00:00:19.429 is my mission! And it's not going to be my last. 00:00:20.510 --> 00:00:24.429 He killed my friend. No, I did. Come on, Valkyrie. 00:00:25.370 --> 00:00:32.619 Ass jerky don't make it sell. Hello, everybody. 00:00:34.179 --> 00:00:36.979 Hello. Hello, hello. Hello, hello. Welcome to 00:00:36.979 --> 00:00:39.539 the Untitled Sci -Fi Show, your one -stop shop 00:00:39.539 --> 00:00:42.700 for all things sci -fi adjacent. We are talking 00:00:42.700 --> 00:00:44.799 sci -fi, though, today. This is really exciting. 00:00:45.259 --> 00:00:47.420 I know. And I was just literally saying to you 00:00:47.420 --> 00:00:49.740 off -air, I feel woefully unprepared. So, what 00:00:49.740 --> 00:00:52.100 have we got? Five minutes for Ward of the World 00:00:52.100 --> 00:00:54.600 and an hour and 25 minutes for everything else, 00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:57.060 yeah? Yeah, probably about right. Have you watched 00:00:57.060 --> 00:01:00.840 episode two? No, I haven't caught up. Yeah, I'm 00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:02.939 really, really delayed on it. I'm really pissed 00:01:02.939 --> 00:01:05.560 off because I keep on getting something happen, 00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:08.799 which means I can't just sit down and watch it. 00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:10.599 Yeah, because it would have been another episode. 00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:12.400 There's probably three out. And then when this 00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:14.400 comes out, there'll be four out. I know. I need 00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:16.859 to really catch up. In fact, when I kick you 00:01:16.859 --> 00:01:18.900 out tonight, I will probably watch another episode 00:01:18.900 --> 00:01:24.180 tonight before I go to bed. So. it just so everyone 00:01:24.180 --> 00:01:27.659 has an idea that this is only the day after we 00:01:27.659 --> 00:01:30.719 recorded the variety show it is yes to break 00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:33.680 the fourth wall week between you hearing it but 00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:36.239 a day it's because next week when we normally 00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:39.480 record this i'm on holiday in good old charmouth 00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:41.959 down in dorset and we just wouldn't have been 00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:43.719 able to record we would have had to either record 00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:48.299 the sunday before i go or the saturday and sunday 00:01:48.299 --> 00:01:52.099 i'm back which would give you all of 24 hours 00:01:52.099 --> 00:01:55.620 to edit. Yeah, and the thing is, we can say that 00:01:55.620 --> 00:01:57.200 because you'll actually be back when this comes 00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:58.959 out. Yeah, when I come back, this will come out. 00:01:58.980 --> 00:02:01.280 We're allowed to talk about it. Have a nice holiday. 00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:05.159 Oh, it was lovely. I'm sure it was. Only one 00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:13.680 child drowned. Anal. Guess the intro. Oh, no, 00:02:13.780 --> 00:02:15.520 wait, there wasn't a guess the intro. There wasn't 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:17.780 a guess the intro. So we have no winners. No 00:02:17.780 --> 00:02:20.810 one gets a shout out. Stop, no, don't. I was 00:02:20.810 --> 00:02:23.909 going to do you my own guess the intro. What? 00:02:24.169 --> 00:02:25.849 I was going to do my own guess the intro for 00:02:25.849 --> 00:02:32.389 you. What do you mean? You've got to guess the 00:02:32.389 --> 00:02:36.300 intro, you bastard. Whatever. Oh, well, fuck 00:02:36.300 --> 00:02:37.960 you then. No, no, go and press stop record now. 00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:40.039 No, no, we're in the next section now. Talk about 00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:42.039 what you've been up to, making that guess the 00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:43.259 intro. Well, I was making you guess the intro 00:02:43.259 --> 00:02:44.979 with the A -team there if you hadn't guessed 00:02:44.979 --> 00:02:48.979 the quality of the work there. There was Airwolf 00:02:48.979 --> 00:02:52.020 there, there was going to be Battlestar Galactica, 00:02:52.020 --> 00:02:57.639 but no, no. Right, sci -fi stuff. Trail of Hoppers 00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:00.020 came out, which I showed you a couple of weeks 00:03:00.020 --> 00:03:03.090 ago, by the time this comes out. Looks absolutely 00:03:03.090 --> 00:03:05.710 brilliant. Yes, it's the weird CGI animation 00:03:05.710 --> 00:03:08.009 that makes it all look like crap CGI Wallace 00:03:08.009 --> 00:03:11.250 and Gromit. But the premise I really like. And 00:03:11.250 --> 00:03:12.610 I love the fact that in the trailer it's like, 00:03:12.610 --> 00:03:16.830 so you made Avatar. It's not Avatar! Yeah. I 00:03:16.830 --> 00:03:19.030 like this. Yeah, it was a really good trailer. 00:03:19.189 --> 00:03:20.990 I'm excited to watch it. Well, there's not too 00:03:20.990 --> 00:03:23.810 much ruin by it. So if we go by kind of trailers, 00:03:24.030 --> 00:03:27.610 I think one of the reasons I didn't give 28 years 00:03:27.610 --> 00:03:33.169 later as high a score as I did. was because the 00:03:33.169 --> 00:03:35.909 trailer makes it look so much more exciting than 00:03:35.909 --> 00:03:38.650 it actually is. The trailer is actually better 00:03:38.650 --> 00:03:43.750 than the film. Which, in pacing and style, I 00:03:43.750 --> 00:03:45.969 should say. There's lots of positives. Anyway, 00:03:46.129 --> 00:03:48.169 so yeah, we saw the trailer for Hoppers. Very 00:03:48.169 --> 00:03:51.409 excited by that. I haven't caught up on Star 00:03:51.409 --> 00:03:53.969 Trek. I bought Golden Tee, the arcade machine. 00:03:54.590 --> 00:03:56.129 which is our gaming discussion. It's not glass 00:03:56.129 --> 00:03:59.870 over that, yeah. Oh, yes. Stroking its ball at 00:03:59.870 --> 00:04:02.189 the moment. So if you don't know what Golden 00:04:02.189 --> 00:04:03.969 Tee is and you don't listen to the Variety Show, 00:04:04.069 --> 00:04:05.889 which we've had the same conversation on, it 00:04:05.889 --> 00:04:08.490 is a golf arcade game that used to be found in 00:04:08.490 --> 00:04:12.650 pubs from the late 90s to the mid -2000s. And 00:04:12.650 --> 00:04:15.770 it's just you slam as hard as you can on a trackball 00:04:15.770 --> 00:04:18.110 to try and make your golfer get as far on the 00:04:18.110 --> 00:04:20.870 course as you can and then do some putting. And 00:04:20.870 --> 00:04:22.550 whether you like golf games or not, it's one 00:04:22.550 --> 00:04:25.370 of these weirdly addictive games It doesn't matter. 00:04:25.430 --> 00:04:26.889 You're going to enjoy it and you're going to 00:04:26.889 --> 00:04:29.310 have fun. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so we've got the 00:04:29.310 --> 00:04:31.069 home arcade version of that now in the office. 00:04:31.110 --> 00:04:33.509 So I'm quite happy that my home office stroke 00:04:33.509 --> 00:04:36.750 games room stroke man den or whatever you want 00:04:36.750 --> 00:04:38.769 to call it is pretty much finished now. Yeah. 00:04:39.589 --> 00:04:41.930 Otherwise, sci -fi wise, I don't think there's 00:04:41.930 --> 00:04:43.949 been much other than watching War of the Worlds, 00:04:44.009 --> 00:04:47.509 watching the weird ass versions of it that are 00:04:47.509 --> 00:04:51.350 on YouTube. You were. Yeah, there's been a couple 00:04:51.350 --> 00:04:54.310 of modern ones on there that have been complete 00:04:54.310 --> 00:04:57.410 remakes done in a modern style, done very, very 00:04:57.410 --> 00:05:00.230 cheaply for not even the sci -fi channel, but 00:05:00.230 --> 00:05:04.329 like the movie channel. Then, did you know there's 00:05:04.329 --> 00:05:07.709 War of the Worlds 2? Which is meant to follow 00:05:07.709 --> 00:05:11.939 on from the Tom Cruise version. Oh, no. And that's 00:05:11.939 --> 00:05:14.839 the Sci -Fi Channel special. And, oh, that's 00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:17.759 all kinds of special. But we'll get onto that 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:20.720 when we actually talk about the film. Otherwise, 00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:23.600 I'm pretty lacking on sci -fi stuff this week. 00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:26.899 Yeah? Yeah. It's just been a work week, actually, 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:28.980 to be fair. It's been a heavy load at work with 00:05:28.980 --> 00:05:33.180 project work. So I'm pretty mentally undone by 00:05:33.180 --> 00:05:37.370 all of that. Oh. So, yeah. Well, this is going 00:05:37.370 --> 00:05:39.750 to make up for last week's. Last week's giant 00:05:39.750 --> 00:05:42.189 episode, yeah. No, I think we'll probably talk 00:05:42.189 --> 00:05:43.589 quite a bit about War of the Worlds, though. 00:05:44.569 --> 00:05:50.970 Enter authorization code. What have I been doing? 00:05:51.790 --> 00:05:54.769 So, we've watched some films. Three films, in 00:05:54.769 --> 00:05:58.889 fact. All of which I thoroughly enjoyed. Whoa! 00:05:59.129 --> 00:06:01.490 Now, that's a rare case. Yeah, now, which one 00:06:01.490 --> 00:06:04.720 I'd put in... I haven't quite decided yet. We 00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.680 might make that decision now as we speak. Okay. 00:06:07.939 --> 00:06:10.879 Maybe we'll workshop it. Are these all sci -fi 00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:17.459 films? I don't think any of them are. Oh, in 00:06:17.459 --> 00:06:19.740 that case, if we're not actually focusing on 00:06:19.740 --> 00:06:21.500 sci -fi and gaming, then I did watch some other 00:06:21.500 --> 00:06:23.579 things very quickly. Me and Jim started watching 00:06:23.579 --> 00:06:26.079 Underage and Pregnant from back in the 2000s. 00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:27.120 Hang on, hang on, hang on. Your section's over. 00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:29.449 Your section's over. I don't care. Your section's 00:06:29.449 --> 00:06:30.769 over. I don't know. We can't talk about you. 00:06:30.810 --> 00:06:32.069 It's about me now. We're also watching a show 00:06:32.069 --> 00:06:34.689 called Virgin Island where basically these English 00:06:34.689 --> 00:06:39.069 people have gone to an island and there's sex 00:06:39.069 --> 00:06:42.149 therapists who have sex with them and it's awkward. 00:06:42.389 --> 00:06:43.910 Yeah, but they're all virgins, right? Oh, yeah. 00:06:44.009 --> 00:06:46.050 Yeah, they're all virgins. All but her are virgins, 00:06:46.149 --> 00:06:48.629 right? The sex therapist. There's loads of sex 00:06:48.629 --> 00:06:53.490 therapists. Oh, can we watch a clip of this later? 00:06:53.550 --> 00:06:57.350 By episode two. No one's a virgin anymore. One 00:06:57.350 --> 00:07:00.370 of them, poor old Zach, is basically so gagging 00:07:00.370 --> 00:07:01.509 for it. He's like, no, I'm ready to have sex. 00:07:02.009 --> 00:07:05.529 Why are you on the island then? To have sex. 00:07:05.550 --> 00:07:08.069 There's this period where they're like, we're 00:07:08.069 --> 00:07:10.310 going to test our animal instincts. And basically 00:07:10.310 --> 00:07:12.509 the sex therapist sat on the floor and made one 00:07:12.509 --> 00:07:15.629 of them circle round her while they circled around, 00:07:15.689 --> 00:07:17.410 pretending to be animals, and then just started 00:07:17.410 --> 00:07:20.569 rubbing up against each other, making very horrendous... 00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:24.680 So then the lads are just like spunking in their 00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.639 pants. We reckon a fair few of them have spunked 00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:30.759 in their pants by now. There's one who basically 00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:32.720 had to go and have a one -on -one session because 00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:35.000 they were a bit worried about him, which basically 00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:37.220 meant their sex therapist was, I'm going to touch 00:07:37.220 --> 00:07:39.480 you now. I'm going to let you hold. I want you 00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:42.560 to kiss my neck. Oh, I feel so special. Is there 00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:44.800 any part of me that you'd like to touch? Can 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:46.920 I touch your breasts? Of course. And his hands 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:49.600 just like, if he'd been Superman, she would have 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:51.439 been through the fucking wall and in the ocean. 00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:55.860 So then they fuck? They haven't fucked yet, but 00:07:55.860 --> 00:07:58.459 they will fuck these poor people. They will? 00:07:58.740 --> 00:08:00.740 Yeah. Well, they've said they're going to. Well, 00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:02.920 that's the aim of the island, to lose. What I 00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:04.600 think they're aiming for is the people just to 00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:06.300 fuck each other, the ones that are all virgins, 00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:08.540 just to get on with each other. But actually, 00:08:08.579 --> 00:08:12.240 the sex therapists are all licensed in the way 00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:13.920 of doing sex therapy, which means they also have 00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:17.180 sex with their therapy clients. Is this on the 00:08:17.180 --> 00:08:20.860 NHS? I think we know now why it's based on an 00:08:20.860 --> 00:08:24.319 island. Yes, that's what they've been doing with 00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:27.540 that man's island. Epstein's island. Oh, no. 00:08:28.259 --> 00:08:31.300 That's a lovely looking island, but Jesus. It's 00:08:31.300 --> 00:08:34.860 already got a staff. Probably got lube as well. 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:37.679 That's where all P. Diddy's keep keeping all 00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:40.179 of his fucking baby oil. Oh, don't. I've seen 00:08:40.179 --> 00:08:41.820 the picture of that cupboard. It's like, what 00:08:41.820 --> 00:08:45.080 on earth? So I need to get my head around, are 00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:49.360 the sex therapists attractive? No, not to me 00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.840 then. Anyway, one's quite old. Okay. And there 00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:54.779 are women or some men. Oh, there's men as well. 00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:58.840 Okay. So now therapy is therapy. And, you know, 00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:01.460 like when you get a proper massage, it shouldn't 00:09:01.460 --> 00:09:03.340 matter whether you have a man or a woman doing 00:09:03.340 --> 00:09:05.759 it because you're there because you need the 00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:08.960 fitness. So you say you're straight. Well, we 00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:10.940 want you to taste both sides of this. And this 00:09:10.940 --> 00:09:14.919 is Channel 4. So what we want you to do. Just 00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:19.679 the adjective to use. True. Taste. We know you 00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:21.559 want to have sex with a woman, but we thought 00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:24.179 we'll get our male sex therapist to have a go 00:09:24.179 --> 00:09:28.220 with you as well. But to be fair... Virginity 00:09:28.220 --> 00:09:31.720 is virginity. But if they're actually just trying 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:35.340 to... you know, get through some, to break some 00:09:35.340 --> 00:09:37.860 barriers and not actually have sex with at this 00:09:37.860 --> 00:09:40.440 stage, it would be more important to put the 00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:43.000 male therapist with the male clients because 00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:45.240 then they're not actually going to have sex. 00:09:45.340 --> 00:09:47.039 I've not actually seen the male therapists do 00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:48.779 anything yet. They've just all been sat there 00:09:48.779 --> 00:09:52.019 scribbling away and clapping when someone's gone 00:09:52.019 --> 00:09:55.299 on the floor and gone, huh, huh, or joined in. 00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:57.179 I love the idea of all the women being really 00:09:57.179 --> 00:09:59.240 emotionally involved and the men are back going, 00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:02.830 oh yes. Oh, it's just so funny how closed off 00:10:02.830 --> 00:10:04.409 all these people are as well. So you've got this 00:10:04.409 --> 00:10:06.990 like 12 people all sat there watching the therapists 00:10:06.990 --> 00:10:09.639 and one of the therapists will stand up. Now 00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:11.399 we're going to do what I call the wall technique. 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:13.679 And one of the male therapists walks over and 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:15.960 pins her against the wall, hands above her, kicks 00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:18.500 her legs apart, and then starts nuzzling her 00:10:18.500 --> 00:10:21.460 neck. And then it pans back to these 12 virgins. 00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:23.860 And they've all got pillows over their face, 00:10:23.940 --> 00:10:27.000 trying not to watch because it's so awkward. 00:10:27.299 --> 00:10:29.480 I'd find that awkward, and I don't think I'm 00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:31.840 introvert. It's quite awkward when it's a granny. 00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:35.500 Oh, right. And was it a young lad and the granny? 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.759 Yeah. What time are you watching this? Were you 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:41.639 and Gem watching this just in your living room 00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:43.600 at like six o 'clock in the afternoon? No, this 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:48.159 is just before sexy time. You're safe if she 00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:50.480 doesn't listen to this one. No, I know. No, we're 00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:53.559 watching on E4. And yeah, all the kids have gone 00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:56.200 to bed. Right, okay. I didn't mean what channel. 00:10:56.340 --> 00:10:59.320 I meant what time, what room. In the evening 00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:01.639 when no one else is around. Barry White on the 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:09.940 radio. Dido, darling, Dido. Fuck Dido. Got fucking 00:11:09.940 --> 00:11:15.039 white flags everywhere. Sorry, back to your section 00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:17.039 now, which I've completely taken over. You spoke 00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:19.399 more in my section than you did in your own. 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.399 Well, it's because I was aiming at sci -fi stuff 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:24.500 and then you're the one that just said, oh, well, 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:26.759 no, it's not sci -fi films. Then why are we talking 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:28.139 about it on the sci -fi show? No, because we 00:11:28.139 --> 00:11:30.779 always just talk anything but sci -fi. That's 00:11:30.779 --> 00:11:33.559 the whole point of this. Go and then write three 00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:36.259 films. Right. And you're going to live rate them. 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:38.519 Yeah. Well, we're going to do it together because 00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:40.320 you might have seen them. It's like Virgin Island 00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:46.769 all over. First one, K -pop Demon Hunters. Never 00:11:46.769 --> 00:11:52.950 seen it. What do you rate it out of 10? One out 00:11:52.950 --> 00:11:54.889 of 10 because I've not seen it. And it sounds 00:11:54.889 --> 00:11:58.190 dreadful. No, it does sound dreadful. I'm going 00:11:58.190 --> 00:12:00.490 to explain it to you. And once I've explained 00:12:00.490 --> 00:12:02.169 it to you, you'll understand how brilliant it 00:12:02.169 --> 00:12:07.909 is. Gangnam Style? Nope. So, it's 3D animation. 00:12:08.859 --> 00:12:11.539 Your favourite kind, slightly Wallace and Gromit. 00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:15.919 Oh, God. But only weirdly at the beginning. And 00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:17.679 like one or two characters. The rest of the time, 00:12:17.700 --> 00:12:20.159 it's not like that at all. It's very odd. So, 00:12:20.179 --> 00:12:22.559 a girl band. Is this one of the ones that are 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:24.620 kind of like the Sony animation for Spider -Man? 00:12:24.620 --> 00:12:26.960 It is Sony animation. So like the Spider -Man. 00:12:27.100 --> 00:12:30.559 But I would like to say the animation style is 00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:37.519 great. The way they use the 3D stuff to do visual 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:42.259 comedy. is very reminiscent of anime. Well, basically 00:12:42.259 --> 00:12:45.100 it is anime because it's Korean. And it's hilarious. 00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:50.000 It's brilliant. So, the plot. Three girls are 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.940 a Korean pop band. Hence the K -pop girl band 00:12:54.940 --> 00:12:58.990 bit. And they also happen to be... Demon Hunters? 00:12:59.850 --> 00:13:04.090 Gotcha. Okay, so the literal title. So that's 00:13:04.090 --> 00:13:05.909 got the most difficult part of the storyline 00:13:05.909 --> 00:13:09.110 out of the way for you. Now, what they're trying 00:13:09.110 --> 00:13:12.809 to do is keep, so the demons are like underground 00:13:12.809 --> 00:13:16.289 in hell, basically. And there's this thing called 00:13:16.289 --> 00:13:20.149 the Hunmun, which is like this shield, this blue 00:13:20.149 --> 00:13:23.210 shimmery shield across the world, which keeps 00:13:23.210 --> 00:13:25.730 them underground. Generations and generations 00:13:25.730 --> 00:13:31.720 of women. whatever kind of music it is, they 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:34.320 do their music and their music keeps them underground. 00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:38.240 Recharges the Hunmen. But there's this special 00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:40.899 one called the Golden Hunmen, which no one's 00:13:40.899 --> 00:13:42.600 ever done. And if you make the Hunmen go from 00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:45.039 blue to gold, it will permanently stay gold for 00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:47.200 eternity and the demons can never come back again. 00:13:47.659 --> 00:13:51.059 Now this... Until next season. Until next... 00:13:51.059 --> 00:13:52.840 Well, this is a film rather than a season. Until 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:55.779 the sequel. Until the sequel. K -pop Demon Hunters 00:13:55.779 --> 00:14:01.139 2. Now, I completely made me lose track. This 00:14:01.139 --> 00:14:03.279 is such a complicated story. Oh, yeah, so the 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:07.860 gold huntsman. Anyway, so this gold band are 00:14:07.860 --> 00:14:09.679 really close. They're doing these songs and they 00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:12.639 can see it shimmering gold. And the demon's like, 00:14:12.779 --> 00:14:15.600 oh, fuck this. We can't have this anymore. So 00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:18.740 instead of the demons constantly trying to just 00:14:18.740 --> 00:14:23.019 kill the demon hunters, instead they make the 00:14:23.019 --> 00:14:27.360 idea of making a boy band. to battle them. And 00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:29.419 the way they'll be able to save it is because 00:14:29.419 --> 00:14:32.220 they're going to steal the fans away from the 00:14:32.220 --> 00:14:37.580 female Korean band. And that's the plot. And 00:14:37.580 --> 00:14:41.539 the music is brilliant. I was laughing out loud. 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:44.580 The action is great. The art style is great. 00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:47.580 It's a really fun film. You should watch it with 00:14:47.580 --> 00:14:53.519 K. Honestly, it's a PG. PG. T's been watching 00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:56.000 a bit of it. It's not really his thing at the 00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:58.500 moment. Fair enough. All my nieces have watched 00:14:58.500 --> 00:15:01.399 it. They're all singing it at grandparents the 00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:03.720 weekend as soon as they found out I'd watched 00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:07.279 it. And yeah, really, really, really good. So 00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:11.000 I do recommend that for everybody. The next one 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:15.860 was... Rating? Oh, sorry. Out of... Oh, we've 00:15:15.860 --> 00:15:18.980 got to do... What is it? 2 .4 to 6. No, no, no, 00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:22.019 no. This is a different show. It's 1 .7 and 9. 00:15:23.419 --> 00:15:29.909 Oh. Yeah, that's a good one. 1 .7 to 9. Okay. 00:15:30.250 --> 00:15:32.870 Well, I'm going to put that high. I'm going to 00:15:32.870 --> 00:15:36.970 give that a 7 point. And you're only allowed 00:15:36.970 --> 00:15:45.149 one word. Popalicious. 7 point Popalicious. I'll 00:15:45.149 --> 00:15:47.929 let you get away with that this time. What do 00:15:47.929 --> 00:15:49.570 you mean? What's wrong with that Popalicious? 00:15:50.139 --> 00:15:52.059 I'm just saying, I'm letting you get away with 00:15:52.059 --> 00:15:56.740 it. Didn't say there was anything wrong. Oh, 00:15:56.860 --> 00:15:59.960 dear. Fucking hell. Fucking accusatory over there, 00:15:59.980 --> 00:16:01.539 you wanker. You're the one coming up with these 00:16:01.539 --> 00:16:05.340 mean things. Right, okay. Next one was the most 00:16:05.340 --> 00:16:10.320 recent Hunger Games. Oh, the Ballad of the Curly 00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:14.879 Whirly Snake. The Ballad of Ice and Fire. I really 00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:16.899 enjoyed it. Yeah, it was great. Another one. 00:16:16.940 --> 00:16:20.929 I was not expecting it. Now, this has a link 00:16:20.929 --> 00:16:23.490 to the other film I watched because the way that 00:16:23.490 --> 00:16:26.870 their film is, it's in parts, like five parts. 00:16:26.870 --> 00:16:29.090 So it goes part one does this, part two does 00:16:29.090 --> 00:16:30.710 this, part three does this. You get the black 00:16:30.710 --> 00:16:35.870 screen and it tells you part two. Yeah, I really 00:16:35.870 --> 00:16:37.950 enjoyed it. Completely surprised. Didn't think 00:16:37.950 --> 00:16:41.929 I'd enjoy it or wasn't really fussed by it. The 00:16:41.929 --> 00:16:44.850 Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Thank you. Songbirds 00:16:44.850 --> 00:16:47.980 and Snakes, yeah. Peter Dinklage in it was good 00:16:47.980 --> 00:16:52.200 too. Yes. He sometimes is a bit like, eh, but 00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:55.279 actually, yeah, he was great in it. And as much 00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:57.620 as I don't like Lucy Zegler or whatever, Rachel 00:16:57.620 --> 00:17:00.440 Zegler, sorry. Yeah. She played a really good 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:02.139 role in it. She was great in it. The main role 00:17:02.139 --> 00:17:04.000 character for Lucy, she was brilliant in it. 00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:08.059 Singing voice was brilliant. I know that you 00:17:08.059 --> 00:17:11.460 and I have got issues with her and other things, 00:17:11.539 --> 00:17:13.869 and I think the Snow White. Well, she's in Snow 00:17:13.869 --> 00:17:15.430 White, isn't she? That's meant to be fucking 00:17:15.430 --> 00:17:21.069 dreadful. But in this, yeah, great. Really enjoyed 00:17:21.069 --> 00:17:22.329 it. I don't really know what to say. It's more 00:17:22.329 --> 00:17:26.009 Hunger Games stuff, but it was really interesting 00:17:26.009 --> 00:17:29.009 trying to figure out how the snow guy was going 00:17:29.009 --> 00:17:31.390 to turn into the snow that you know from the 00:17:31.390 --> 00:17:34.220 other three. So that was really interesting, 00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:36.859 kind of trying to figure out when did he become 00:17:36.859 --> 00:17:39.299 a wanker? Because he's not always away. He's 00:17:39.299 --> 00:17:41.940 actually quite nice. Well, this is it. The idea 00:17:41.940 --> 00:17:45.180 is it shows how he's been broken down. And I've 00:17:45.180 --> 00:17:48.519 got to say, I think as much as Peter Dinklage's 00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:51.539 character is good in it, in fact, all the characters 00:17:51.539 --> 00:17:53.740 are good in it, it's Viola Davis's character 00:17:53.740 --> 00:17:58.680 in it. She plays the creepy doctor. Oh, yeah. 00:18:01.020 --> 00:18:04.579 Dr. Volumnia Call. Yeah, well, she plays... She's 00:18:04.579 --> 00:18:08.119 Peacemaker, Suicide Squad. She always plays some 00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:10.319 head honcho. Amanda Waller. Amanda Waller, yeah, 00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:13.740 that's it. She is just a phenomenal actress, 00:18:13.779 --> 00:18:19.240 and she absolutely makes this. Yeah. It's just 00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:22.059 utterly wonderful. And I'm going to rate this 00:18:22.059 --> 00:18:29.460 a seven, as well, point. Cat piss. That's one 00:18:29.460 --> 00:18:33.579 word. Okay. Not because cat piss is a bad thing, 00:18:33.660 --> 00:18:36.319 but that's what Katniss Everdeen is called in 00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:39.259 the books. She gets called cat piss never clean. 00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:41.119 And they get that out of the fucking films, didn't 00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:45.140 they? They did. And the last one was. So at the 00:18:45.140 --> 00:18:48.279 moment for me, that's the top film. K -pop's 00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:49.960 at the bottom because I haven't seen it. Yeah. 00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:52.640 It's interesting, but I haven't seen it. And 00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:57.319 this was Fury Road. I haven't seen Fury Road. 00:18:58.490 --> 00:19:00.549 I think the thing that I'm going to... Very quickly, 00:19:00.569 --> 00:19:02.490 before you get into your review of it. The thing 00:19:02.490 --> 00:19:04.190 that I'm going to say about Fury Road, I've seen 00:19:04.190 --> 00:19:10.069 a fair few clips of it. And I don't know if they 00:19:10.069 --> 00:19:13.589 had a change of, not art department, but the 00:19:13.589 --> 00:19:17.390 graphics team. It felt very much a lot of the 00:19:17.390 --> 00:19:21.390 effects felt like they missed the mark in comparison 00:19:21.390 --> 00:19:26.609 to the previous Mad Max that they'd done. But 00:19:26.609 --> 00:19:28.269 that's just the clips I've seen. Is it called 00:19:28.269 --> 00:19:31.049 Fury Road? The one where it's about Furiosa? 00:19:31.329 --> 00:19:34.130 Oh, no, sorry. Fury Road. Yeah, Mad Max Fury. 00:19:34.549 --> 00:19:36.670 Furiosa is the new one. That's the one I mean. 00:19:36.710 --> 00:19:38.829 Sorry, that's the one I mean. It seemed that 00:19:38.829 --> 00:19:43.470 it didn't look as good quality -wise in how everything's 00:19:43.470 --> 00:19:46.109 been done. I can't see about the story and the 00:19:46.109 --> 00:19:47.589 acting and everything else like that because 00:19:47.589 --> 00:19:51.079 obviously I've not seen it. I was a huge fan 00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:53.740 of Mad Max Fury Road. I thought it was absolutely 00:19:53.740 --> 00:19:55.059 bloody brilliant. Yeah, absolutely wonderful. 00:19:55.380 --> 00:19:57.359 I got a chance to... Actually, I missed it at 00:19:57.359 --> 00:19:59.380 the cinema. I'd never saw it on streaming. And 00:19:59.380 --> 00:20:01.220 it came back to the cinema. So I got a chance 00:20:01.220 --> 00:20:02.880 to see it on the big screen. It's like, this 00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:05.140 is fucking brilliant. Yeah, I saw that on IMAX. 00:20:05.339 --> 00:20:09.819 Yeah. So Furiosa. I was a little bit confused 00:20:09.819 --> 00:20:13.160 at the beginning because I thought that Chris 00:20:13.160 --> 00:20:16.680 Hemsworth was... I thought it was meant to be 00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:21.259 so far in before Mad Max that... His character 00:20:21.259 --> 00:20:28.440 was the main bad guy. Sorry, everyone, we might 00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:29.640 have to pause it so I can remember what his name 00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:33.019 is. You know, the one, the actor's sadly died 00:20:33.019 --> 00:20:37.859 now, who's the bad guy in all the Mad Max ones. 00:20:37.940 --> 00:20:39.180 He's actually the bad guy in all the Mad Max 00:20:39.180 --> 00:20:42.819 films. He has the mask, you know, he has the 00:20:42.819 --> 00:20:45.420 mask thing. Yeah, I know the one you mean. People 00:20:45.420 --> 00:20:48.849 are going to be screaming at their radios. for 00:20:48.849 --> 00:20:51.089 me not remembering his fucking name. Immortan 00:20:51.089 --> 00:20:53.029 Joe. Immortan Joe, yeah, that actor has sadly 00:20:53.029 --> 00:20:54.970 passed away. Hugh Keith Byrne, yeah. And I think 00:20:54.970 --> 00:20:57.210 he passed away before this film came out, so 00:20:57.210 --> 00:20:58.990 it's interesting how they did such a fucking 00:20:58.990 --> 00:21:02.490 brilliant job to have him look and sound exactly 00:21:02.490 --> 00:21:04.789 the same. Anyway, I thought that's what this 00:21:04.789 --> 00:21:06.829 was about. I thought it was how her and Immortan 00:21:06.829 --> 00:21:11.509 Joe became tied together, and that Immortan Joe 00:21:11.509 --> 00:21:15.740 was being played by Chris Hemsworth. That's what 00:21:15.740 --> 00:21:18.539 I thought. It's not that at all. It is how she 00:21:18.539 --> 00:21:20.279 gets to be with Morton Joe. It's her survival 00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:24.200 story, isn't it, basically? Yeah, but Chris Hemsworth's 00:21:24.200 --> 00:21:26.019 character is a completely different character. 00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:30.519 And he's like the reason how she ends up with 00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:32.160 Morton Joe. And I don't want to say too much 00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:33.519 because you haven't seen it, and I really think 00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:36.539 you should. Okay, that's fair play. If we're 00:21:36.539 --> 00:21:40.039 talking about the CGI stuff of it, I didn't think 00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:42.400 there was any problems with it. As I say, it 00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:44.279 was just the clips I've seen. And don't forget, 00:21:44.380 --> 00:21:46.039 a lot of those clips have been on TikTok, so 00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:47.579 they've been heavily compressed and whatever. 00:21:47.819 --> 00:21:49.779 So there's a good chance that it's just the bits 00:21:49.779 --> 00:21:52.599 and pieces I've seen haven't made it look brilliant. 00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:54.740 So on the bigger screen, it probably will look 00:21:54.740 --> 00:21:57.720 better. So I wasn't really fussed about seeing 00:21:57.720 --> 00:22:01.700 it, but I've been building a cinema last week, 00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:04.599 building one for a client, and they have a 98 00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:11.220 -inch screen. And I walked in on my... my employer 00:22:11.220 --> 00:22:14.079 testing it, quote unquote, and he was watching 00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:17.140 Furiosa. Furiosa, sorry. And I was like, oh, 00:22:17.220 --> 00:22:19.420 this actually looks really cool. And I sat there, 00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:21.160 I watched it in about five minutes. I was like, 00:22:21.220 --> 00:22:22.720 actually, yeah, I think I might watch this. And 00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:23.859 I was like, turn it off now because I don't want 00:22:23.859 --> 00:22:26.460 to spoil it. Yeah, sorry, it's Furiosa, a Mad 00:22:26.460 --> 00:22:30.759 Max story. Yes. And yeah, so then literally that 00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:32.420 night, I said to Miranda, we're watching a film, 00:22:32.460 --> 00:22:35.400 so let's watch this. And yeah, I really, really, 00:22:35.400 --> 00:22:38.799 really enjoyed it. I thought it was great. It's 00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:40.539 one of those things where you think, oh, here 00:22:40.539 --> 00:22:44.099 we go. Sorry, everybody, but they've changed 00:22:44.099 --> 00:22:46.839 the standard man character now. They put a woman 00:22:46.839 --> 00:22:49.019 there. They've done this. But actually, the actress 00:22:49.019 --> 00:22:51.980 is great. It's a very strong female character. 00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:53.980 It's not just they've just decided to put a woman 00:22:53.980 --> 00:22:55.940 on screen. Yeah, so it's Anya Taylor -Joy, isn't 00:22:55.940 --> 00:22:58.220 it, playing the role? And she does really well 00:22:58.220 --> 00:23:01.079 in it. It's got the guy who's in The Three Musketeers, 00:23:01.079 --> 00:23:03.339 the old BBC series. Oh, right, yeah. You know, 00:23:03.339 --> 00:23:04.900 the guy who's got the kind of scar on his lip. 00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:07.200 He's in it. That was a nice surprise to see him 00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:11.109 in it. Yeah, and Chris Hemsworth does a wicked 00:23:11.109 --> 00:23:13.750 job as the bad guy. He should be a bad guy way 00:23:13.750 --> 00:23:18.730 more because he does a really good bad guy. Well, 00:23:18.750 --> 00:23:21.009 it's him being full on Aussie from what I've 00:23:21.009 --> 00:23:23.529 been told. Oh, yeah, I think he's doing his actual 00:23:23.529 --> 00:23:26.049 voice. Yeah, he's actually being Australian for 00:23:26.049 --> 00:23:29.170 once. And he does really well. And it's a fine 00:23:29.170 --> 00:23:33.690 line of really, is he actually a bad guy? Because 00:23:33.690 --> 00:23:38.490 when you, he does arsehole things. Yeah. But 00:23:38.490 --> 00:23:43.269 there's almost a slight greater good to when 00:23:43.269 --> 00:23:46.849 he's being a wanker. It's like he's being a bigger... 00:23:46.849 --> 00:23:50.529 He wants to be in charge of everything, but there 00:23:50.529 --> 00:23:54.190 is also kind of like he just wants to be in charge 00:23:54.190 --> 00:23:56.490 of everything. But, I mean, you could argue they're 00:23:56.490 --> 00:24:01.150 in the desolate waste worlds of Earth as it is 00:24:01.150 --> 00:24:03.630 after the whole oil and everything's gone wrong 00:24:03.630 --> 00:24:08.170 and wars and so on. So, actually... what evil 00:24:08.170 --> 00:24:12.670 could you do? And actually, which evil turns 00:24:12.670 --> 00:24:14.930 out to be, well, that's actually kind of required 00:24:14.930 --> 00:24:18.269 if you want to have your, let's say, clan survive. 00:24:18.690 --> 00:24:22.710 The thing is, he's not evil in that night, because 00:24:22.710 --> 00:24:25.250 they could easily have done, oh, he's really 00:24:25.250 --> 00:24:27.690 bad. He's got women slaves and he's raping them. 00:24:27.750 --> 00:24:31.940 There's none of that. None of it. He gets Furiosa 00:24:31.940 --> 00:24:35.559 when she's a little girl kid. And there's no 00:24:35.559 --> 00:24:37.099 sign of her ever getting injured, abused. I was 00:24:37.099 --> 00:24:38.380 going to say they could have done the whole child 00:24:38.380 --> 00:24:41.019 rape thing. There is nothing, no sign of it. 00:24:41.099 --> 00:24:44.309 There is a bit where she's kind of tied. up in 00:24:44.309 --> 00:24:46.829 a cage with this old guy who they call, like, 00:24:46.849 --> 00:24:49.869 the speaker or whatever because he's old and 00:24:49.869 --> 00:24:52.369 he knows all the past stuff. Yes. But that's 00:24:52.369 --> 00:24:54.750 because she's a little fucking terror and she 00:24:54.750 --> 00:24:56.410 keeps trying to escape and stuff so she's tied 00:24:56.410 --> 00:24:59.609 her up to stop her escaping, you know. And then, 00:24:59.609 --> 00:25:02.849 like, he appears to treat her quite well and, 00:25:02.869 --> 00:25:06.430 like, you know, later on he doesn't when she's 00:25:06.430 --> 00:25:09.730 an adult and she's trying to kill him. But as 00:25:09.730 --> 00:25:13.839 a kid... It's a bit, you know, his storyline, 00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:16.319 he's got like a teddy bear. And it's according 00:25:16.319 --> 00:25:20.279 to his storyline, as he tells it. He had kids 00:25:20.279 --> 00:25:22.460 and it was their teddy bear. I'm not entirely 00:25:22.460 --> 00:25:24.400 sure that's true. I think that's a plot line 00:25:24.400 --> 00:25:28.220 he invents for himself in his universe. But yeah, 00:25:28.299 --> 00:25:31.039 if I'm going to rate it, it's out of nine, isn't 00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:37.299 it? That's an eight point Furiosa. I think actually, 00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:38.559 think about it. Yeah, that's probably the best 00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:41.279 of them out of the three. Yeah, and I think we're 00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:42.720 going to have to have a discussion at some point 00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:44.980 for you to understand what sci -fi is, because 00:25:44.980 --> 00:25:46.819 I think we said this at the beginning of the 00:25:46.819 --> 00:25:51.079 Untitled Sci -Fi Show. It's sci -fi fantasy when 00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:52.380 we're talking about films, isn't it? Because 00:25:52.380 --> 00:25:55.380 fantasy so often leaks into sci -fi. It's so 00:25:55.380 --> 00:25:57.480 rare you go onto a streaming platform now and 00:25:57.480 --> 00:25:59.819 you've just got a dedicated sci -fi. It's almost 00:25:59.819 --> 00:26:03.019 always sci -fi and fantasy now. And all three 00:26:03.019 --> 00:26:05.140 of those are, I would count Mad Max as science 00:26:05.140 --> 00:26:09.339 fiction. Because I'm thinking of spaceships. 00:26:09.339 --> 00:26:12.200 I'd also argue The Hunger Games is science fiction. 00:26:13.480 --> 00:26:16.119 Yeah, it's just in my head when I'm saying science 00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:17.099 fiction, I'm thinking of space ships. We think 00:26:17.099 --> 00:26:19.380 Star Trek, but actually, realistically, if you 00:26:19.380 --> 00:26:20.940 think about what science fiction is, it's to 00:26:20.940 --> 00:26:26.400 do with it being fiction and weird shit. Yeah. 00:26:27.339 --> 00:26:29.200 So, yeah, I suppose I have watched some science 00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:31.900 fiction stuff. Aside from that, I've not played 00:26:31.900 --> 00:26:37.160 a single game since we last recorded. No. Not 00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:39.940 a single game. Been too busy doing other stuff. 00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:43.369 Oh, shit, I played Robocop. And I played Golden 00:26:43.369 --> 00:26:44.950 Tee with you. Yeah, we played Golden Tee. I played 00:26:44.950 --> 00:26:49.970 Robocop Rogue City. Really good. It's painful 00:26:49.970 --> 00:26:52.049 when you start playing because as you're playing 00:26:52.049 --> 00:26:55.509 as Robocop, even with the run that they put in, 00:26:55.609 --> 00:26:58.109 it's slow. But that's what you expect Robocop 00:26:58.109 --> 00:27:01.410 to be. Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, it's an interesting 00:27:01.410 --> 00:27:02.990 game. We need to sit down and you need to have 00:27:02.990 --> 00:27:05.410 a play on it because it's an interesting premise 00:27:05.410 --> 00:27:10.269 of a game. It's not your typical shooter, but 00:27:10.269 --> 00:27:13.559 it's also... It's also a bit mystery, puzzle 00:27:13.559 --> 00:27:17.640 -solving. Yeah, it's an interesting one. I wouldn't 00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:20.119 say I'm besotted by it. I think it's clever. 00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:23.420 I can't see myself completing it, though. No. 00:27:24.299 --> 00:27:27.359 That's it, then. Shit, we've got to talk about 00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:34.400 a film. Accessing library computer data. One, 00:27:34.420 --> 00:27:37.339 two, three o 'clock, four o 'clock, rock. It's 00:27:37.339 --> 00:27:40.750 time for War of the Worlds 1953. Because Jive 00:27:40.750 --> 00:27:44.029 Bunny is from 1953. Is it? No, I'm just making 00:27:44.029 --> 00:27:45.930 that up, I don't think. I know they do shit music 00:27:45.930 --> 00:27:48.690 from then, but... Anyway, yeah, War of the Worlds, 00:27:48.730 --> 00:27:53.549 1953. Often considered a proper sci -fi classic. 00:27:56.769 --> 00:27:58.990 I'll be honest, I loved it as a kid. It freaked 00:27:58.990 --> 00:28:03.269 me out as a kid. I can see that. Especially a 00:28:03.269 --> 00:28:05.869 couple of moments in it, which, in fact, we get 00:28:05.869 --> 00:28:09.269 a moment of that kind of relived in the Tom Cruise 00:28:09.269 --> 00:28:10.890 version of War of the Worlds, which I thought 00:28:10.890 --> 00:28:15.430 was quite nice. But looking back at it now, especially 00:28:15.430 --> 00:28:19.809 with an older head on my shoulders, and especially 00:28:19.809 --> 00:28:22.809 now knowing the story that H .G. Wells wrote 00:28:22.809 --> 00:28:27.190 for War of the Worlds, oh, it's pony. It's bad. 00:28:28.029 --> 00:28:32.529 Yeah, I don't... Well, I've... listens to the 00:28:32.529 --> 00:28:34.690 audiobook of the hd wells or the world and that's 00:28:34.690 --> 00:28:37.769 way better than this film was yeah so for those 00:28:37.769 --> 00:28:40.390 of you that don't know so hd wells bloke that 00:28:40.390 --> 00:28:43.910 wrote also the time machine classic classic book 00:28:43.910 --> 00:28:46.930 terrible films especially the modern film he 00:28:46.930 --> 00:28:49.690 did invisible man as well i believe so yeah yeah 00:28:49.690 --> 00:28:52.289 yeah first is it the men on the first men on 00:28:52.289 --> 00:28:53.809 the moon or men on the moon because they go in 00:28:53.809 --> 00:28:58.670 a in a in a ball like a globe yeah he basically 00:28:58.670 --> 00:29:02.220 he genuinely is one of the forefathers if not 00:29:02.220 --> 00:29:05.740 the father of science fiction writing and if 00:29:05.740 --> 00:29:07.180 you look at the original world of the worlds 00:29:07.180 --> 00:29:09.240 and i'm not talking about the orson wells radio 00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:11.640 version either i'm talking about the original 00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:15.859 book guess what it's not set in fucking america 00:29:16.660 --> 00:29:19.920 No, but there was a nice bit near the end where 00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:22.900 they really started sucking off the UK's cock. 00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:26.519 Oh, yeah. Like saying, hey, put on a marvellous 00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:30.680 show. Oh, yes. But yeah, so the original book 00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:32.799 is all based in, I think it's just, it's up the 00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:37.900 Thames in, oh, where's the, Richmond. Yes, it's 00:29:37.900 --> 00:29:39.859 based in kind of Richmond, if I remember rightly. 00:29:40.500 --> 00:29:44.140 And it's all set Victorian, late Victorian era. 00:29:44.420 --> 00:29:48.289 Yeah. It's a very, very different story. And 00:29:48.289 --> 00:29:49.950 then if you look at the War of the Worlds that 00:29:49.950 --> 00:29:55.609 we know with little Tommy Cruise, that's closer 00:29:55.609 --> 00:29:59.789 to the H .G. Wells story, bizarrely, than the 00:29:59.789 --> 00:30:03.650 1953 film is. The BBC's three -part series they 00:30:03.650 --> 00:30:05.849 did was pretty good. Yeah, so there's been a 00:30:05.849 --> 00:30:08.009 lot. There's a few different ones, actually, 00:30:08.069 --> 00:30:10.460 because there's also one... That's like a modern 00:30:10.460 --> 00:30:13.400 one. It has like robot dogs running around. Right. 00:30:13.579 --> 00:30:16.279 So, yeah. So you've got the 1953 War of the Worlds, 00:30:16.380 --> 00:30:19.920 which technically then got carried on in 1988 00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:23.259 from the War of the Worlds TV series. Right. 00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:25.940 I don't know if this was British or not. I'm 00:30:25.940 --> 00:30:29.329 just looking at the names now. It looks American. 00:30:29.349 --> 00:30:31.210 I'm pretty sure it's American. And if you read 00:30:31.210 --> 00:30:33.890 the tag for it, humanity must resume its war 00:30:33.890 --> 00:30:36.809 against the Martians when they revive after decades 00:30:36.809 --> 00:30:38.769 of hibernation following their defeat in the 00:30:38.769 --> 00:30:43.089 1950s. So that is a direct follow on. You've 00:30:43.089 --> 00:30:46.150 then got a 2005 video, which is called War of 00:30:46.150 --> 00:30:49.210 the Worlds. And it's just titled HG Worlds, War 00:30:49.210 --> 00:30:50.430 of the Worlds. And this is the one I watched 00:30:50.430 --> 00:30:53.390 on YouTube. And to give you an idea of the quality 00:30:53.390 --> 00:30:57.000 of this. That, I'm showing Rob a picture now, 00:30:57.140 --> 00:31:00.240 is what the alien tripods look like. Well, it's 00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:02.140 got four legs and it looks like a crab. So that's 00:31:02.140 --> 00:31:05.940 odd straight away. So yeah, you've got that weird 00:31:05.940 --> 00:31:09.619 one. You've got another TV series in 2019, which 00:31:09.619 --> 00:31:14.299 I hadn't heard of. I'm intrigued to see what 00:31:14.299 --> 00:31:17.400 that one's like. But that, again, looks very 00:31:17.400 --> 00:31:20.119 much like it's been filmed for... I'm just looking 00:31:20.119 --> 00:31:22.220 at some film shots of it now. And you can always 00:31:22.220 --> 00:31:27.319 tell the kind of... sci -fi oh seasons i was 00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:29.819 a tv series so it got to three i was an epics 00:31:29.819 --> 00:31:32.839 original series so i'm pretty sure they did stuff 00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:35.779 for sci -fi channel you always kind of can tell 00:31:35.779 --> 00:31:37.720 that sort so you know that's probably going to 00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:42.700 be pretty rough um but there's been loads loads 00:31:42.700 --> 00:31:47.619 of war of the world stuff um of which i don't 00:31:47.619 --> 00:31:49.480 think any of it's really been that good even 00:31:49.480 --> 00:31:52.500 i'm not a fan of the tom cruise film yeah that's 00:31:52.500 --> 00:31:55.680 blasphemy Well, you can take it like you took 00:31:55.680 --> 00:32:01.259 the white Maltesers. What, ten in my mouth? Hang 00:32:01.259 --> 00:32:05.180 on a moment. Hang on a moment. How did we miss 00:32:05.180 --> 00:32:08.599 this? Well, actually, before I bring this one 00:32:08.599 --> 00:32:11.119 up, though, so, yeah, you've got one of the Baldwin 00:32:11.119 --> 00:32:13.740 brothers doing War of the Worlds Extinction in 00:32:13.740 --> 00:32:19.509 2024. Oh, rough. War of the Worlds 2. which from 00:32:19.509 --> 00:32:21.670 the look of it now follows on from that weird 00:32:21.670 --> 00:32:25.089 War of the Worlds I told you about. The War of 00:32:25.089 --> 00:32:30.190 the Worlds, the musical drama. No, no, no. Wait. 00:32:30.869 --> 00:32:37.549 Wait. It's an audible original. Okay. Are you 00:32:37.549 --> 00:32:39.470 ready for some of the names? I've got a credit. 00:32:39.569 --> 00:32:42.829 I could get this. One of the names is Michael 00:32:42.829 --> 00:32:45.710 Sheen. I love Michael Sheen. Michael Sheen's 00:32:45.710 --> 00:32:47.309 in it. Yeah, Michael Sheen's brilliant. Okay. 00:32:47.470 --> 00:32:50.970 How about, Taron Egerton. Well, he's an amazing 00:32:50.970 --> 00:32:55.630 singer. How about Ade Edmondson of Bottom? Oh, 00:32:55.630 --> 00:33:00.329 my God. This sounds amazing. This is on Audible. 00:33:00.589 --> 00:33:03.230 This is an Audible thing, apparently, yeah. An 00:33:03.230 --> 00:33:06.089 Audible original production in which HG World's 00:33:06.089 --> 00:33:08.750 classic War of the Worlds is revisited. Hang 00:33:08.750 --> 00:33:10.869 on, pause a second. Where's the pause button? 00:33:11.490 --> 00:33:16.990 Pause... On the screen top left. Right, okay, 00:33:17.109 --> 00:33:18.750 we're ready this time. Yeah, I'm moving away 00:33:18.750 --> 00:33:21.769 from the mic so I can listen to this. Okay. I'll 00:33:21.769 --> 00:33:23.230 be back. One second, everyone, we're going to 00:33:23.230 --> 00:33:28.829 do a preview. Sci -fi reference. Jeff Wayne's 00:33:28.829 --> 00:33:31.609 The War of the Worlds, the musical drama based 00:33:31.609 --> 00:33:34.490 upon the classic science fiction story by H .G. 00:33:34.509 --> 00:33:37.509 Wells, adapted from a musical version by Doreen 00:33:37.509 --> 00:33:40.569 Wayne and for audio by Richard Curty and Bev 00:33:40.569 --> 00:33:44.099 Doyle. an audible original drama composed arranged 00:33:44.099 --> 00:33:48.640 directed and produced by jeff wayne chapter one 00:33:48.640 --> 00:33:57.960 no one would have believed in the last years 00:33:57.960 --> 00:34:01.200 of the 19th century his voice but human affairs 00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:04.259 were being watched by intelligences which inhabited 00:34:04.259 --> 00:34:32.199 the timeless worlds of space Do I skip forward 00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:38.570 to hear some singing? envious eyes we probably 00:34:38.570 --> 00:34:40.449 should so we don't get a copyright strike well 00:34:40.449 --> 00:34:41.789 i don't know they've got all of their credits 00:34:41.789 --> 00:34:47.150 at the beginning true it's a music starting yes 00:34:47.150 --> 00:34:53.929 they drew their plans against us oh so this is 00:34:53.929 --> 00:35:02.929 the classic jeff wayne music oh hello yeah this 00:35:02.929 --> 00:35:08.599 is good This isn't going to go well on our YouTube, 00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:10.860 is it? They need to get those bells on the cathedral. 00:35:13.059 --> 00:35:21.500 Right, I'm just going to skip ahead a bit. Now 00:35:21.500 --> 00:35:33.760 when they say... Yeah, let's go back. They'd 00:35:33.760 --> 00:35:36.840 also see cities crowded with people, ships on 00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:39.539 the oceans. A planet that's already occupied. 00:35:40.039 --> 00:35:42.119 I fear they would only see what they regard as 00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:45.480 inferior animals. But living creatures, nonetheless. 00:35:45.699 --> 00:35:50.079 Spirit. Look closely. There's some new music 00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:57.320 coming. There. I think. A reddish flash. Was 00:35:57.320 --> 00:36:01.159 that it? That makes four. In as many nights. 00:36:06.920 --> 00:36:10.260 And if each one is a missile... What people can't 00:36:10.260 --> 00:36:13.619 see is TJ and I fucking bob into this. ...would 00:36:13.619 --> 00:36:16.000 be their only hope of escaping from a dying planet. 00:36:16.719 --> 00:36:22.320 Trust me. The chances of anything coming from 00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:25.659 Mars are a million to one. All right, just so 00:36:25.659 --> 00:36:27.539 everyone knows, I had a credit and I just brought 00:36:27.539 --> 00:36:31.630 it. So, yeah. Oh, that bass. That sounded like 00:36:31.630 --> 00:36:33.710 it was just going to drop into the Doom theme. 00:36:34.010 --> 00:36:37.449 I'm going to start that tomorrow. Oh, I'm well 00:36:37.449 --> 00:36:40.590 happy with that. That was great. Thank you, IMDB, 00:36:40.710 --> 00:36:43.150 for that. So obviously that's building on the 00:36:43.150 --> 00:36:46.579 Jeff Wayne album. So Jeff Wayne did the... I'm 00:36:46.579 --> 00:36:49.139 guessing it was in the 70s or 80s version of 00:36:49.139 --> 00:36:52.340 The War of the Worlds, and it's amazing. It's 00:36:52.340 --> 00:36:54.639 a musical, and it's just phenomenal. Love it. 00:36:55.320 --> 00:36:58.079 Synths, you name it, it's brilliant. That sounds 00:36:58.079 --> 00:37:00.739 like he's taken that and then gone, no, I actually 00:37:00.739 --> 00:37:03.280 want acting in it now. Yeah, whereas I thought 00:37:03.280 --> 00:37:06.920 it was going to be a musical. Which was what 00:37:06.920 --> 00:37:08.860 I had in my head. There's an alien over there. 00:37:09.280 --> 00:37:13.179 He's coming to get me. It's a blinding tripod. 00:37:13.699 --> 00:37:19.920 I spit in his face and I killed him. Yeah, that's 00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:23.639 what I was expecting. Okay, so we watched it. 00:37:24.500 --> 00:37:29.980 What did we think? I still enjoy it as a classic 00:37:29.980 --> 00:37:32.539 sci -fi film. It's brilliant. Comparing it to 00:37:32.539 --> 00:37:34.320 the original H .G. Wells story, I just don't 00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:35.960 think you can. You've got to just treat it as 00:37:35.960 --> 00:37:41.480 a UFO story. Let me bring up my notes on it. 00:37:41.739 --> 00:37:43.659 I'll say, while you're getting your notes, I'll 00:37:43.659 --> 00:37:48.239 say, as an old alien film, I enjoyed it. As War 00:37:48.239 --> 00:37:52.639 of the Worlds, I didn't. Yeah, exactly. As an 00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:56.280 alien film, brilliant. Anything else, no. The 00:37:56.280 --> 00:37:58.800 special effects. When you consider the age of 00:37:58.800 --> 00:38:01.559 it. Yeah, at the age of it, I thought that, I 00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:03.579 thought actually you were very good. You know, 00:38:03.599 --> 00:38:06.179 I did like, I've written, I liked the red laser. 00:38:06.679 --> 00:38:08.380 I thought that was pretty good. I have a soft 00:38:08.380 --> 00:38:12.179 spot, like we had with the octopus thing, where 00:38:12.179 --> 00:38:14.380 they had the lasers in that. I said to you, I 00:38:14.380 --> 00:38:16.860 liked that. I've got a soft spot for however 00:38:16.860 --> 00:38:17.760 those old films do those. I'm pretty sure they 00:38:17.760 --> 00:38:19.639 don't even call them a laser. I think they call 00:38:19.639 --> 00:38:21.960 it a heat ray in this, don't they? Because lasers 00:38:21.960 --> 00:38:24.960 hadn't been invented at this point. So it's literally 00:38:24.960 --> 00:38:27.519 something like heat ray, or they call it something. 00:38:27.659 --> 00:38:30.159 But the noise that they chose for it as well, 00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:34.460 that kind of... Synth -y, high -pitched, resonating. 00:38:34.619 --> 00:38:36.820 That was brilliant. Yeah, I was calling them 00:38:36.820 --> 00:38:39.400 laser beams from the laser snake. I was calling 00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:41.320 the thing that comes out of a laser snake. Laser. 00:38:41.400 --> 00:38:43.380 Which later on I started calling it the space 00:38:43.380 --> 00:38:48.280 freak penis because it was... Yeah. What about 00:38:48.280 --> 00:38:52.159 one of my favourite bits in the film? Don't worry. 00:38:52.340 --> 00:38:54.699 It's like sign language. Even they'll understand 00:38:54.699 --> 00:38:57.440 this as they walk up with their white flag. And 00:38:57.440 --> 00:38:59.940 then who cares? It's innocent people. They just 00:38:59.940 --> 00:39:02.780 get obliterated. I think Mars Attacks copied 00:39:02.780 --> 00:39:05.340 this film when it comes to the destruction of 00:39:05.340 --> 00:39:08.000 killing people. It just disintegrated. There's 00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:12.920 a great one where one of the head army men actually 00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:16.559 turns into a skeleton. He's like skeletonified. 00:39:16.719 --> 00:39:19.199 Can you imagine? No. Bear in mind, and this is 00:39:19.199 --> 00:39:23.219 why... A bit of me loves it just for what it 00:39:23.219 --> 00:39:26.360 is. This would have been what's considered an 00:39:26.360 --> 00:39:30.280 early colour film. And it's so vivid in the colours 00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:33.199 they've chosen. Well, just the eyes. The eyes 00:39:33.199 --> 00:39:36.400 of the little alien dude. Why the little alien 00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:39.800 dude's so small, I don't know. No neck. I laughed. 00:39:41.289 --> 00:39:44.010 out loud when you see him run in the background 00:39:44.010 --> 00:39:46.309 of that window shot as i was like that's not 00:39:46.309 --> 00:39:49.849 the alien and then his fucking hand on her shoulder 00:39:49.849 --> 00:39:52.889 you know what that is still better than signs 00:39:52.889 --> 00:39:58.289 i'm not so sure oh i'm 100 sure that is still 00:39:58.289 --> 00:40:01.269 better than huh we're going to invade this planet 00:40:01.269 --> 00:40:03.090 what's the one thing that we're really scared 00:40:03.090 --> 00:40:05.460 of by the way water right And the planet we're 00:40:05.460 --> 00:40:08.760 going to is made up of mainly what? Mostly water. 00:40:08.980 --> 00:40:11.800 Right, we'll still invade here. I'm sure it's 00:40:11.800 --> 00:40:13.400 going to be fine. Just stay away from the water. 00:40:13.820 --> 00:40:19.159 It comes out the sky. It's just signs of a bad 00:40:19.159 --> 00:40:21.780 film. I can see why one of the scary movie, I 00:40:21.780 --> 00:40:24.320 think Scary Movie 3 rips the piss out of it massively. 00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:27.619 So there was a lot of things I really did like 00:40:27.619 --> 00:40:30.219 about it, I've got to say. So the narrator, he 00:40:30.219 --> 00:40:33.619 was brilliant, the narrator. I don't know who 00:40:33.619 --> 00:40:37.579 it was. He had a great voice. I think the final 00:40:37.579 --> 00:40:41.820 monologue I didn't like. It wasn't impactful 00:40:41.820 --> 00:40:43.760 enough. It's like, oh yeah, by the way, everyone 00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:45.940 got a cold and died. It was kind of like, that's 00:40:45.940 --> 00:40:47.900 kind of how it ended. It's basically, yeah, we 00:40:47.900 --> 00:40:51.820 know that. Almost a bit. To an extent, as much 00:40:51.820 --> 00:40:54.599 as we like the thing, I find the end of the thing 00:40:54.599 --> 00:40:56.440 ever so slightly disappointing because you don't 00:40:56.440 --> 00:40:58.079 feel like you're getting a valid conclusion. 00:40:58.619 --> 00:41:01.519 I know it kind of leads off to the idea of... 00:41:01.789 --> 00:41:03.869 it gives you the ability to walk away and go, 00:41:03.949 --> 00:41:07.510 what happens next, I wonder? But there's a little 00:41:07.510 --> 00:41:10.010 bit of non -satisfactory feeling there, and this 00:41:10.010 --> 00:41:11.869 is exactly the same in this. And I would say, 00:41:11.889 --> 00:41:16.309 actually, with this being 1950s America, and 00:41:16.309 --> 00:41:19.190 knowing how God -fearing that bloody country 00:41:19.190 --> 00:41:21.630 is... Oh, fucking hell, we knew it from the fucking 00:41:21.630 --> 00:41:24.429 movie. This movie is so much... It feels more 00:41:24.429 --> 00:41:28.639 like... It wasn't the world coming together that 00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:31.300 did this. Oh, the churches basically did all 00:41:31.300 --> 00:41:33.480 of this. That's what it comes across as, isn't 00:41:33.480 --> 00:41:34.579 it? It basically says God killed them. All the 00:41:34.579 --> 00:41:37.460 bloody bell ringing and so on. I've got to say, 00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:40.039 I have to disagree on one point with the thing. 00:41:41.719 --> 00:41:45.679 That I think the dissatisfaction of the ending 00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:48.780 of the thing is purposeful. But I don't think 00:41:48.780 --> 00:41:51.780 it's purposeful on this. I think this is just 00:41:51.780 --> 00:41:54.820 not a very good... they didn't hit the mark on 00:41:54.820 --> 00:41:57.960 the actual monologue at the end. But the way 00:41:57.960 --> 00:42:01.000 that the thing ends, it's very purposely done 00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:04.280 that way. Because it purposely wants you to think 00:42:04.280 --> 00:42:06.219 about it. I'm one of these people that watch 00:42:06.219 --> 00:42:10.500 a crime drama, it gets to the court, and I would 00:42:10.500 --> 00:42:12.139 happily have another 15 minutes on the end of 00:42:12.139 --> 00:42:13.840 the film so I could watch what happens in court 00:42:13.840 --> 00:42:16.420 and make sure they get put away sort of thing. 00:42:16.659 --> 00:42:19.260 I like things kind of tidied up at the end. I 00:42:19.260 --> 00:42:21.840 agree, the end is a narrative shrug. They're 00:42:21.840 --> 00:42:24.769 almost like, eh. It's done now. And for a film 00:42:24.769 --> 00:42:26.469 that's basically centred around a physicist, 00:42:26.869 --> 00:42:30.409 there's fuck all science by him or kind of scientific 00:42:30.409 --> 00:42:34.449 skill by that man at all through it. Yeah, he 00:42:34.449 --> 00:42:41.389 was odd because, I mean, his interactions with 00:42:41.389 --> 00:42:45.940 the woman were very creepy. Not like... Creepy 00:42:45.940 --> 00:42:49.480 as in sexually creepy, just creepy as in one 00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:51.800 minute he's being very serious and the next minute 00:42:51.800 --> 00:42:54.280 he's looking at her like, hmm. And then there's 00:42:54.280 --> 00:42:57.000 another bit where he's like, she's like fainted 00:42:57.000 --> 00:42:59.159 or something and he's just like staring over 00:42:59.159 --> 00:43:01.599 and just like, oh, fucking roulette. Like, they 00:43:01.599 --> 00:43:06.300 just had so much of that era in it. Yeah. I mean, 00:43:06.300 --> 00:43:08.119 it's not as bad as the Quatermass experiment 00:43:08.119 --> 00:43:11.239 with the police officer going home to his wife. 00:43:11.920 --> 00:43:14.059 Yeah, that was quite funny at the same time. 00:43:14.119 --> 00:43:15.920 You can look back on that and actually find that 00:43:15.920 --> 00:43:20.219 funny. Whereas, the woman in this did nothing 00:43:20.219 --> 00:43:26.340 for women's rights. You know what I mean? She 00:43:26.340 --> 00:43:30.139 did nothing for women in this. It's stereotypical 00:43:30.139 --> 00:43:33.510 standards for the era. Yeah, awful. Exactly how 00:43:33.510 --> 00:43:35.670 they always paint women in it. And I keep complaining 00:43:35.670 --> 00:43:37.889 about this. We're watching these old films and 00:43:37.889 --> 00:43:40.210 I'm going to keep complaining about it. It winds 00:43:40.210 --> 00:43:45.090 me up. Stop screaming. There are some films that 00:43:45.090 --> 00:43:47.309 will do it properly, I promise you, but this 00:43:47.309 --> 00:43:50.409 is not one of them. No, absolutely not. And I 00:43:50.409 --> 00:43:53.949 do feel that they were very flat. There was nothing 00:43:53.949 --> 00:43:57.250 really to them. There was no true character building 00:43:57.250 --> 00:44:00.030 to them. It's almost like the film whizzed into 00:44:00.030 --> 00:44:03.559 them too much. Normally I say films do far too 00:44:03.559 --> 00:44:07.000 much story building. In this case, I don't feel 00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:09.820 that there was enough for their characters. It's 00:44:09.820 --> 00:44:11.840 just like, I'm a physicist and now we're into 00:44:11.840 --> 00:44:14.599 the film. Brilliant, okay. It was interesting 00:44:14.599 --> 00:44:16.440 watching this when I've seen the Tom Cruise one 00:44:16.440 --> 00:44:20.539 quite a few times to watch the certain plot positions, 00:44:20.699 --> 00:44:25.139 which... are in that one too like when so when 00:44:25.139 --> 00:44:27.699 they break into that farmer's house and just 00:44:27.699 --> 00:44:30.219 set them up a full massive dinner service for 00:44:30.219 --> 00:44:32.659 themselves with a couple of eggs each all the 00:44:32.659 --> 00:44:34.800 china was out on the table which i thought was 00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:38.400 very odd um and then that house kind of gets 00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:39.940 destroyed and they're kind of stuck in there 00:44:39.940 --> 00:44:44.019 i think that's the scene that in the tom cruise 00:44:44.019 --> 00:44:47.460 one where he's in that wreckage of that farmhouse 00:44:47.460 --> 00:44:50.300 with his daughter and that farmer or that guy 00:44:50.920 --> 00:44:53.079 And they're living in that wreckage for a few 00:44:53.079 --> 00:44:55.659 days, aren't they? I think that's that scene. 00:44:55.920 --> 00:44:57.579 I think that's meant to be the same scene. And 00:44:57.579 --> 00:44:59.699 that's that whole creepy scene where Tom Cruise 00:44:59.699 --> 00:45:02.760 is like, I want you to close your eyes now. Yeah, 00:45:02.800 --> 00:45:04.579 because of that guy. Because I'm basically going 00:45:04.579 --> 00:45:05.920 to murder this man. Is that guy trying to get 00:45:05.920 --> 00:45:07.739 with his daughter? Is that the impression I always 00:45:07.739 --> 00:45:09.460 got? That's kind of, I think, the idea that you 00:45:09.460 --> 00:45:11.980 get with it, yeah. Yeah, which is fucking gross. 00:45:13.739 --> 00:45:17.760 It just had, yeah, there's a lot of moments like... 00:45:19.019 --> 00:45:22.619 I was just trying to think of that. So I just 00:45:22.619 --> 00:45:27.019 really noticed a lot of times. I just met everywhere. 00:45:27.280 --> 00:45:29.639 But what I liked, I'll tell you what I did like. 00:45:30.820 --> 00:45:33.179 Whenever they did the army scenes or any of the 00:45:33.179 --> 00:45:36.360 men talking about stuff, there wasn't really 00:45:36.360 --> 00:45:38.840 other than the scientist himself where he had 00:45:38.840 --> 00:45:40.860 moments of being a prick because he was a prick. 00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:46.139 He was a prick. There was no like obscene kind 00:45:46.139 --> 00:45:49.590 of. masculinity to any of the army men or anything 00:45:49.590 --> 00:45:52.449 everyone was very polite and everyone's like 00:45:52.449 --> 00:45:54.949 understanding who's in charge no one's coming 00:45:54.949 --> 00:45:57.489 in and being like i'm taking over like in america 00:45:57.489 --> 00:45:59.869 normally have the fbi and the cia and everyone's 00:45:59.869 --> 00:46:02.570 deciding about who's in charge when the general 00:46:02.570 --> 00:46:04.769 come in everyone just agreed he's in charge yeah 00:46:04.769 --> 00:46:06.909 and it's like fine but then you've got a scientist 00:46:06.909 --> 00:46:09.010 coming in you got another guy coming in the dude 00:46:09.010 --> 00:46:12.630 fucking swinging doors on the the end on the 00:46:12.630 --> 00:46:16.989 barracks here for the top secret stuff It was 00:46:16.989 --> 00:46:20.010 all very civil. And I was like, I like this. 00:46:20.030 --> 00:46:22.789 No, there's just none of that. Oh, I'm in charge. 00:46:22.869 --> 00:46:25.269 None of that bollocks. You know, she's going 00:46:25.269 --> 00:46:28.030 around with a massive tray of tea, coffee, and 00:46:28.030 --> 00:46:30.230 all those different pastries and things. I thought 00:46:30.230 --> 00:46:34.809 it was quite sweet. You know? Yeah. Yeah, there's 00:46:34.809 --> 00:46:36.250 loads of little moments like that I quite liked. 00:46:36.329 --> 00:46:41.699 But the space... The fact they nuke. They atom 00:46:41.699 --> 00:46:43.840 bombed it, didn't they? That was a good scene, 00:46:43.880 --> 00:46:45.780 actually, how they did that. That guy on top 00:46:45.780 --> 00:46:47.940 of the fucking truck. I knew he was in for trouble 00:46:47.940 --> 00:46:49.460 and the atom bomb goes off and he goes flying 00:46:49.460 --> 00:46:51.340 off the truck. That was quite funny. There's 00:46:51.340 --> 00:46:55.420 a lot to like about it. All those people got 00:46:55.420 --> 00:46:58.320 blind on the hill. Oh, God. They were all being 00:46:58.320 --> 00:47:08.119 completely blinded. It's very disjointed as a 00:47:08.119 --> 00:47:10.769 film, isn't it? No one seems to know what they're 00:47:10.769 --> 00:47:12.369 doing. And I know that kind of actually makes 00:47:12.369 --> 00:47:16.130 a bit of sense. Alien invasion, what the fuck 00:47:16.130 --> 00:47:18.110 do we do? It's aliens. But I'd like to think 00:47:18.110 --> 00:47:20.929 if it was now, it would just be treated as a 00:47:20.929 --> 00:47:23.730 military incursion. So that's how it would fall. 00:47:23.849 --> 00:47:26.570 Whereas, like you say, the fist just runs up 00:47:26.570 --> 00:47:28.829 at points. Do this. And the army's just like, 00:47:28.989 --> 00:47:32.130 who are you? Yeah, come on, we'll do that. Yeah. 00:47:32.809 --> 00:47:37.650 Really? That's how you're going to operate? That's 00:47:37.650 --> 00:47:40.309 not a good thing. One thing I did like is after, 00:47:40.389 --> 00:47:42.849 you know, the failed atom bomb explosion, they're 00:47:42.849 --> 00:47:46.170 like, OK, we've now got to get out of here. We've 00:47:46.170 --> 00:47:47.610 got to go to this laboratory. We've got to get 00:47:47.610 --> 00:47:49.670 all of our stuff and just clear it out. And there 00:47:49.670 --> 00:47:51.710 wasn't like a special team doing it. The scientists 00:47:51.710 --> 00:47:53.590 were doing it and getting their trucks and driving 00:47:53.590 --> 00:47:56.750 off. And they didn't get away. They got mobbed 00:47:56.750 --> 00:47:59.769 and beaten the shit out of by an angry mob and 00:47:59.769 --> 00:48:02.309 lost everything. And there was something about 00:48:02.309 --> 00:48:04.400 that I just thought. Yeah, that's what would 00:48:04.400 --> 00:48:05.780 have happened. That's real life. He wouldn't 00:48:05.780 --> 00:48:07.920 have got away. That's exactly probably what would 00:48:07.920 --> 00:48:10.860 have happened. Just a hysteria of it. So the 00:48:10.860 --> 00:48:14.840 bit where they get the alien eye. Yeah. That's 00:48:14.840 --> 00:48:18.119 quite cool. They take it back to the laboratory, 00:48:18.400 --> 00:48:21.159 don't they? And then they can see how the aliens 00:48:21.159 --> 00:48:25.079 see. That was a cool scene. At the same time, 00:48:25.139 --> 00:48:26.519 I was like, fucking hell, you've done well plugging 00:48:26.519 --> 00:48:29.519 that eye in to that projector. This is it, isn't 00:48:29.519 --> 00:48:32.000 it? And it's just like any science fiction film. 00:48:33.199 --> 00:48:36.039 I keep seeing a trailer for it and I've got no 00:48:36.039 --> 00:48:38.079 idea what this film is. I've got a feeling it 00:48:38.079 --> 00:48:41.940 could even be fucking Aquaman. There's a bloke 00:48:41.940 --> 00:48:43.599 on the beach and these people come out of the 00:48:43.599 --> 00:48:46.900 sea and they've got this amazing water -powered 00:48:46.900 --> 00:48:48.940 gun which he shoots and it blows up a mountain 00:48:48.940 --> 00:48:51.940 in the distance. And the next thing, he's in 00:48:51.940 --> 00:48:54.699 some sort of workshop himself and he's able to 00:48:54.699 --> 00:48:59.579 take apart this alien or other person's weapon 00:48:59.579 --> 00:49:02.340 and turn it into his own suit and stuff. It's 00:49:02.340 --> 00:49:06.539 like... How? Tell me fucking how, because I'm 00:49:06.539 --> 00:49:08.599 sorry, if an alien turns up here, I'm guessing 00:49:08.599 --> 00:49:11.699 they're not using 1mm, 2mm and 3mm copper wire 00:49:11.699 --> 00:49:16.300 in their shit. Yeah, probably not. It really 00:49:16.300 --> 00:49:18.360 frustrates me when they do shit like that, because 00:49:18.360 --> 00:49:20.440 it's like, oh, so we're just assuming the whole 00:49:20.440 --> 00:49:24.079 galaxy has, oh yeah, by the way, we're also running 00:49:24.079 --> 00:49:26.659 240 in the galaxy, so America, you're screwed, 00:49:26.739 --> 00:49:29.179 I know you're at 110, you need 240, you're going 00:49:29.179 --> 00:49:31.909 to need an inverter. I've got to look at some 00:49:31.909 --> 00:49:33.909 of my notes here. So I called the alien the no 00:49:33.909 --> 00:49:37.869 -necked meaty blob. Oh, I quite liked the alien. 00:49:38.090 --> 00:49:40.530 I love the bit where his hair just goes plop 00:49:40.530 --> 00:49:42.570 on her shoulder. Which is so stupid. And she's 00:49:42.570 --> 00:49:46.010 like... And then he tries to talk and he's like... 00:49:46.010 --> 00:49:51.309 My eyes! Yeah. My eyes! Oh, that's what they 00:49:51.309 --> 00:49:54.070 said. British met Martians magnificently is what 00:49:54.070 --> 00:49:57.690 they said on the little voiceover bit. So I went 00:49:57.690 --> 00:49:59.489 to one of the spaceships. There was no tripods 00:49:59.489 --> 00:50:05.500 in this. So it was weird floating ships with 00:50:05.500 --> 00:50:08.460 the penises coming out. And this is the big, 00:50:08.460 --> 00:50:10.619 big difficulty, isn't it? Because obviously in 00:50:10.619 --> 00:50:15.760 the H .G. Wells story, they are the tripods. 00:50:15.760 --> 00:50:18.280 That's what makes them so terrifying. And that's 00:50:18.280 --> 00:50:20.639 what they did so well in the War of the Worlds 00:50:20.639 --> 00:50:24.760 for the Tom Cruise film. They... You actually 00:50:24.760 --> 00:50:27.639 felt quite terrified by their creation. They 00:50:27.639 --> 00:50:30.920 were big. They were loud. They did that weird 00:50:30.920 --> 00:50:34.159 siren noise, which was... I don't know if you've 00:50:34.159 --> 00:50:35.880 ever come... You know there's this whole... I 00:50:35.880 --> 00:50:37.659 don't think it's... It might be called Creepypasta. 00:50:37.960 --> 00:50:40.300 There's all that weird stuff on YouTube. And 00:50:40.300 --> 00:50:42.360 there's things like the Slender Man came from 00:50:42.360 --> 00:50:46.619 it. There's Siren Head. Yeah. And I've watched 00:50:46.619 --> 00:50:49.679 a few of them. And as cheesy as they... They 00:50:49.679 --> 00:50:53.179 are terrifying. And it's the sound. Good sound 00:50:53.179 --> 00:50:56.199 design will trump anything. And I'm just trying 00:50:56.199 --> 00:50:59.019 to think of the film that it was now. It's fairly 00:50:59.019 --> 00:51:02.280 recent. It was a weird sci -fi film, which we 00:51:02.280 --> 00:51:06.019 should probably watch at some point. It's by 00:51:06.019 --> 00:51:09.239 the bloke that did the film called Get Out. It's 00:51:09.239 --> 00:51:10.559 called Up, is the film you're talking about. 00:51:11.820 --> 00:51:15.179 Yeah, it's called Up, isn't it? Is it? Well, 00:51:15.219 --> 00:51:17.710 I haven't watched it yet. So don't spoil it for 00:51:17.710 --> 00:51:19.869 me because I really want to watch it. I really 00:51:19.869 --> 00:51:22.710 want to watch it. We haven't got to it yet. Nope. 00:51:23.190 --> 00:51:25.289 Nope. What am I saying? Up. Yeah, it's got blues. 00:51:25.289 --> 00:51:28.130 That's Pixar. That's Pixar. Probably just as 00:51:28.130 --> 00:51:30.869 fucked up. No, it's called Nope. And I can tell 00:51:30.869 --> 00:51:34.829 you now, when you watch it, if you can, make 00:51:34.829 --> 00:51:36.710 sure you've got the volume up or you're both 00:51:36.710 --> 00:51:39.619 wearing headphones. Because the sound design, 00:51:39.679 --> 00:51:45.800 I was in the cinema and I felt so uneasy. It 00:51:45.800 --> 00:51:52.460 was horrible. Yeah, that guy, he's from that 00:51:52.460 --> 00:51:57.980 comedy duo. What's his name? Jordan Peele? Who's 00:51:57.980 --> 00:52:00.480 the guy? Yeah, Jordan Peele. Jordan Peele, yeah, 00:52:00.500 --> 00:52:04.800 because he did Get Out, done Nope. He's done 00:52:04.800 --> 00:52:09.590 another one. All of his films I've really, really 00:52:09.590 --> 00:52:11.389 liked. Every one has been a hit. They've all 00:52:11.389 --> 00:52:15.869 been fucked up. He does great horrors. Yeah, 00:52:15.909 --> 00:52:19.010 he's done Us. Us, that's it. Yeah, that's really 00:52:19.010 --> 00:52:25.190 fucked up, Us. Yeah, so just get back to War 00:52:25.190 --> 00:52:29.170 of the Worlds. I can't say how long we've been 00:52:29.170 --> 00:52:34.769 talking, 25 minutes. In conclusion, so the spaceships, 00:52:34.769 --> 00:52:37.449 yeah, I really wish they had the tripods because 00:52:37.449 --> 00:52:39.889 there's a few points where I was like, oh, these 00:52:39.889 --> 00:52:41.849 ships are going to turn into the tripods. Because 00:52:41.849 --> 00:52:43.090 if you, there was right at the beginning, they 00:52:43.090 --> 00:52:44.650 come up and he's going on about, oh, they're 00:52:44.650 --> 00:52:49.639 using the... changing the magnetic yeah pole 00:52:49.639 --> 00:52:52.119 possible i thought oh then they must be repelling 00:52:52.119 --> 00:52:54.059 themselves against the thing that's still underground 00:52:54.059 --> 00:52:57.579 and actually it had three you actually see the 00:52:57.579 --> 00:53:00.300 graphic they were using was three lines yes i 00:53:00.300 --> 00:53:02.280 was like oh maybe this is it's going to come 00:53:02.280 --> 00:53:04.619 out maybe this is just a bit floating above and 00:53:04.619 --> 00:53:06.539 it's going to come out and connect to it and 00:53:06.539 --> 00:53:08.039 go start walking around and it would have been 00:53:08.039 --> 00:53:12.340 wicked i guess the argument is that if you had 00:53:12.340 --> 00:53:15.530 done it with tripods In this era, the only way 00:53:15.530 --> 00:53:16.889 they could have done tripods would have been 00:53:16.889 --> 00:53:19.710 stop motion. Yeah, reclamation stuff. Well, it's 00:53:19.710 --> 00:53:20.750 not even reclamation, it would have just been 00:53:20.750 --> 00:53:22.670 stop motion. So they could have had a beautiful 00:53:22.670 --> 00:53:26.130 made model like they did, but they would have 00:53:26.130 --> 00:53:28.670 had to have three articulated legs, and any time 00:53:28.670 --> 00:53:32.750 you see them, it would have been... the animation 00:53:32.750 --> 00:53:34.489 for it and i can guarantee they wouldn't have 00:53:34.489 --> 00:53:37.710 got anywhere near let's say 24 frames per second 00:53:37.710 --> 00:53:39.829 let alone 30 frames or 60 frames whatever they 00:53:39.829 --> 00:53:43.090 did film it in yeah so you know a bit like have 00:53:43.090 --> 00:53:45.650 you ever seen the original jason and the argonauts 00:53:45.650 --> 00:53:47.809 yeah as clever and amazing as a film that is 00:53:47.809 --> 00:53:50.110 especially with the the skeletons and stuff like 00:53:50.110 --> 00:53:52.809 that it's the best scene it's still you can tell 00:53:52.809 --> 00:53:55.869 it's completely in different standard because 00:53:56.360 --> 00:53:59.539 There's so few frames of animation being used. 00:53:59.659 --> 00:54:01.619 And I think that would have broken it. Whereas 00:54:01.619 --> 00:54:04.239 with that being the spaceship, the effects is 00:54:04.239 --> 00:54:05.780 actually really good. And I'm guessing that's 00:54:05.780 --> 00:54:07.679 because they filmed them on wires and they could 00:54:07.679 --> 00:54:09.320 just film it. They absolutely were on wires. 00:54:09.380 --> 00:54:13.820 Going at normal speed, which meant actually it 00:54:13.820 --> 00:54:18.719 fit much better in with changing between people 00:54:18.719 --> 00:54:22.280 and the ships themselves. So I kind of see why 00:54:22.280 --> 00:54:25.059 they did it. going with the tripod design would 00:54:25.059 --> 00:54:26.920 have been a lot more work and it wouldn't have 00:54:26.920 --> 00:54:30.760 looked as good it just yeah it's so far from 00:54:30.760 --> 00:54:33.920 the story yeah that you do have to question why 00:54:33.920 --> 00:54:36.679 they did that though yeah they it's definitely 00:54:36.679 --> 00:54:38.619 as wise i brought it on youtube and it was quite 00:54:38.619 --> 00:54:40.599 a high quality version of it and you could straight 00:54:40.599 --> 00:54:43.539 up see the wires so that's exactly how they were 00:54:43.539 --> 00:54:45.880 doing it you could just see the cables in every 00:54:45.880 --> 00:54:47.760 single shot you could see them hanging from them 00:54:47.760 --> 00:54:52.159 but but yeah i i've got to say if i'm going to 00:54:52.159 --> 00:54:55.019 give it some kind of conclusion. I think that 00:54:55.019 --> 00:54:59.579 of all the War of the Worlds things I've seen, 00:54:59.599 --> 00:55:01.480 I've seen a lot and I've listened to the book, 00:55:01.619 --> 00:55:06.760 it's my least favourite. I think were I watching 00:55:06.760 --> 00:55:09.260 films in 1953, I probably would have enjoyed 00:55:09.260 --> 00:55:13.699 it. I can see how it would have been enjoyable. 00:55:13.920 --> 00:55:16.059 The early world of sci -fi, this is all you had. 00:55:16.119 --> 00:55:18.719 But when you look at what we have now and the 00:55:18.719 --> 00:55:21.980 rich tapestry and variety that's available... 00:55:22.800 --> 00:55:25.639 It doesn't stand up so well. So unless you're 00:55:25.639 --> 00:55:28.219 happy to watch something with the appreciation 00:55:28.219 --> 00:55:30.960 that it's old and one of the first of its type, 00:55:31.239 --> 00:55:33.820 there is definitely better out there. I think 00:55:33.820 --> 00:55:38.679 what let this film down was probably the writing, 00:55:38.699 --> 00:55:44.739 the adaption of the book to film in this particular 00:55:44.739 --> 00:55:49.079 instance, I think, is what let it down. Particularly... 00:55:49.679 --> 00:55:52.300 You know, the pacing was very odd. They really 00:55:52.300 --> 00:55:54.940 liked having long, drawn -out conversations. 00:55:54.940 --> 00:55:57.039 I was going to say, but that seems to be a very 00:55:57.039 --> 00:55:59.599 50s thing. Yeah. It's like kind of we've just 00:55:59.599 --> 00:56:03.239 moved away from silent cinema. Not just, but 00:56:03.239 --> 00:56:06.119 we've moved away from silent. We've now got colour. 00:56:06.920 --> 00:56:09.800 And it's almost like people want a drama on screen, 00:56:09.980 --> 00:56:13.559 don't they? So whereas sometimes we're happy 00:56:13.559 --> 00:56:17.010 with a 10 -minute scene being... four or five 00:56:17.010 --> 00:56:19.409 sentences spoken and the rest being action or 00:56:19.409 --> 00:56:22.829 something happening, then it felt like, no, we 00:56:22.829 --> 00:56:24.429 have to have talking because people aren't going 00:56:24.429 --> 00:56:27.130 to be happy with just a screen of something happening 00:56:27.130 --> 00:56:30.989 on it. The thing is, I love Tarantino films. 00:56:31.110 --> 00:56:32.829 There's a lot of talking in Tarantino films. 00:56:33.210 --> 00:56:36.909 And so it's not that I don't like that, but I 00:56:36.909 --> 00:56:39.889 just think that when there is talking, make it 00:56:39.889 --> 00:56:43.429 worth it. Yeah, and let's not forget this is 00:56:43.429 --> 00:56:46.150 the era that... you have a man and a woman talking, 00:56:46.469 --> 00:56:48.889 there's a good chance a man's going to shut up, 00:56:48.889 --> 00:56:51.349 woman, and do what you're told is going to come 00:56:51.349 --> 00:56:54.650 into it at some point. And it's almost always 00:56:54.650 --> 00:56:56.929 that sentiment, isn't it? And that makes it very 00:56:56.929 --> 00:56:58.929 difficult to really kind of appreciate what you're 00:56:58.929 --> 00:57:00.869 trying to get on when we've moved away from that. 00:57:01.809 --> 00:57:04.230 You're right with the pacing. I think with the 00:57:04.230 --> 00:57:07.550 pacing, the beginning felt okay. The end felt 00:57:07.550 --> 00:57:08.789 a bit rushed, like you said, with the German 00:57:08.789 --> 00:57:10.710 warfare, kind of shrug your shoulders and it's 00:57:10.710 --> 00:57:15.300 done. The middle bit... really was just talk 00:57:15.300 --> 00:57:22.880 hide move destruction repeat i well speaking 00:57:22.880 --> 00:57:25.019 of the moving when he gets in that fucking airplane 00:57:25.019 --> 00:57:27.480 suddenly he kind of knows how to take it off 00:57:27.480 --> 00:57:29.059 and then instantly crashes in front of another 00:57:29.059 --> 00:57:33.179 alien i was like come on but yeah okay i think 00:57:33.179 --> 00:57:34.599 i've had enough talking about it to be honest 00:57:34.599 --> 00:57:37.460 i enjoy it it's it's one of those films that 00:57:37.880 --> 00:57:40.380 It's never going to go away. It's a real intro 00:57:40.380 --> 00:57:43.599 to sci -fi. It did its best for the era. There 00:57:43.599 --> 00:57:45.579 is better stuff out there. Dare I say, the Tom 00:57:45.579 --> 00:57:49.059 Cruise one is better. I preferred Quatermass 00:57:49.059 --> 00:57:51.400 Experiment if I'm going to be rating these two 00:57:51.400 --> 00:57:55.019 older films. It's a better story. Well, the Quatermass 00:57:55.019 --> 00:57:59.699 Experiment, yeah. That's it. Goodbye. Goodbye 00:57:59.699 --> 00:58:08.519 to this section. Transfer complete. We talked 00:58:08.519 --> 00:58:13.519 about a sci -fi film! Yes, sci -fi! OK, so, firstly, 00:58:13.659 --> 00:58:16.400 I'm just going to have a quick apology to James 00:58:16.400 --> 00:58:20.480 because I promised him some mug watch in this 00:58:20.480 --> 00:58:21.840 episode. Oh, shit, we did, didn't we? But because 00:58:21.840 --> 00:58:25.239 I shouldn't be the one apologising, James. I'm 00:58:25.239 --> 00:58:27.360 not the one who didn't watch the second episode 00:58:27.360 --> 00:58:31.199 of Strange New Worlds. Please watch the second 00:58:31.199 --> 00:58:33.719 episode of Strangely World so I can supply the 00:58:33.719 --> 00:58:37.579 promised mug watch to the people. That's what 00:58:37.579 --> 00:58:40.360 I'm going to say. I promise I will absolutely 00:58:40.360 --> 00:58:43.719 watch that. I will. That's the first bit to do. 00:58:44.599 --> 00:58:48.099 Starfleet honour. Speaking of Starfleet, fucking 00:58:48.099 --> 00:58:54.429 hell, that trailer. If anybody wants to have 00:58:54.429 --> 00:58:58.230 a bad day, go and watch the Starfleet trailer, 00:58:58.429 --> 00:59:00.929 whatever it is. What's it called? Starfleet Academy. 00:59:01.389 --> 00:59:03.349 Yeah, watch the trailer for that fucking hell. 00:59:04.769 --> 00:59:10.969 Fuck, it looks like shit. Everyone who listens 00:59:10.969 --> 00:59:13.929 to the show knows how I feel about Discovery. 00:59:14.530 --> 00:59:18.949 Unfortunately, I've got a feeling when... Discovery 00:59:18.949 --> 00:59:21.389 went to being good in season four and five, it's 00:59:21.389 --> 00:59:23.409 probably because the writers moved off of Discovery 00:59:23.409 --> 00:59:25.250 and by the look of it went to fucking write this 00:59:25.250 --> 00:59:28.309 piece of shit. Because it's got all the hallmarks 00:59:28.309 --> 00:59:32.170 of Discovery 1 to 3 all over it. Yeah, absolutely. 00:59:32.630 --> 00:59:34.750 And I mean, one of the comments made me laugh 00:59:34.750 --> 00:59:38.269 I saw online earlier. I'm so glad we've got Klingons 00:59:38.269 --> 00:59:40.849 that look like Klingons again. So I went back 00:59:40.849 --> 00:59:43.429 and watched the trailer. Yes, we have a Klingon 00:59:43.429 --> 00:59:46.769 who vaguely looks like a TNG Klingon. However... 00:59:47.000 --> 00:59:49.780 He sat in a window looking up the stars, missing 00:59:49.780 --> 00:59:52.179 his home world. Yes, because that's what Klingons 00:59:52.179 --> 00:59:56.159 do. They sit in the window and go... It's like, 00:59:56.219 --> 00:59:58.679 for fuck's sake, can't you get anything right? 00:59:59.059 --> 01:00:01.519 And this is meant to be set in a time where... 01:00:01.519 --> 01:00:03.199 I don't know when it's going to be set. The Klingons 01:00:03.199 --> 01:00:06.619 don't fucking look like that. Well, I don't... 01:00:06.619 --> 01:00:09.340 I mean, there's lots of... Oh, so many arguments. 01:00:09.719 --> 01:00:13.840 It's a marvel. I know what I'm talking about. 01:00:14.000 --> 01:00:19.000 And you are wrong. You're wrong. You're wrong. 01:00:19.400 --> 01:00:25.989 Can you guess what it is? It's shit! So many 01:00:25.989 --> 01:00:28.070 arguments out there. Well, yes, but it's well 01:00:28.070 --> 01:00:30.710 known that the Klingons did huge amounts of genetic 01:00:30.710 --> 01:00:33.090 changes to their own race, which is why they 01:00:33.090 --> 01:00:35.170 changed from white people in the original series 01:00:35.170 --> 01:00:39.250 and became shit -covered head ridges in the TNG, 01:00:39.289 --> 01:00:41.510 in the classic films. And that's why they look 01:00:41.510 --> 01:00:43.670 so different in Discovery, because actually they're 01:00:43.670 --> 01:00:45.869 all the same Klingon. It's just different ones 01:00:45.869 --> 01:00:48.070 that you come across based on their genetic breeding. 01:00:48.230 --> 01:00:51.280 Why can't they just admit it was budget? Which 01:00:51.280 --> 01:00:54.599 is what it was. You got given a budget and Alexei 01:00:54.599 --> 01:00:57.659 Sayle did this amazing... If anyone remembers 01:00:57.659 --> 01:00:59.659 Alexei Sayle, the comedian, I'll show you it 01:00:59.659 --> 01:01:03.099 later. He does a Star Trek piss take. Okay. And 01:01:03.099 --> 01:01:06.659 he's Picard. And he walks in and you've got the 01:01:06.659 --> 01:01:09.860 bloke dressed up as Worf. And he goes, Mr. Worf, 01:01:09.880 --> 01:01:11.579 did you know it looks like you've put your head 01:01:11.579 --> 01:01:15.780 in a bucket of shit? He looks at the result. 01:01:15.880 --> 01:01:19.079 It does look like that. I didn't know. It's just 01:01:19.079 --> 01:01:24.159 absolutely brilliant. Yeah, basically, if you 01:01:24.159 --> 01:01:26.300 wanted to do cheap cosplay, go and buy a Mars 01:01:26.300 --> 01:01:28.699 bar and stick it on your forehead. You're Mr. 01:01:28.780 --> 01:01:33.059 Worf. But our point is, go ruin your day or your 01:01:33.059 --> 01:01:36.599 evening by watching that trailer. In our opinion, 01:01:36.639 --> 01:01:39.019 it's not very good. I'm sorry. I need to make 01:01:39.019 --> 01:01:41.440 notes before this show, you know. I have seen 01:01:41.440 --> 01:01:44.199 one more sci -fi thing. Oh, fucking hell. We're 01:01:44.199 --> 01:01:47.780 well past that. I know. The Wild Robot. Oh, yeah, 01:01:47.800 --> 01:01:50.119 of course you have. You have to watch it because 01:01:50.119 --> 01:01:53.719 I was nearly sobbing at the end. Literally, I 01:01:53.719 --> 01:01:56.099 turned my face away from my family because I 01:01:56.099 --> 01:01:59.539 thought, they cannot see me sobbing nearly. I 01:01:59.539 --> 01:02:03.099 was nearly gone at the end of that film. And 01:02:03.099 --> 01:02:06.679 there are just so many fucking wonderful bits 01:02:06.679 --> 01:02:09.139 in it. You have to watch it and then tell me 01:02:09.139 --> 01:02:11.159 what you think of it. Okay, I'll find some time 01:02:11.159 --> 01:02:14.530 to watch it. It's like an... An eight point crying. 01:02:14.809 --> 01:02:18.690 It's brilliant. Eight point crying. Oh, yeah. 01:02:18.750 --> 01:02:20.949 So next week's next episode is War of the Worlds. 01:02:21.070 --> 01:02:26.809 Tom Cruise. 2005. Little Tommy Cruise. Command 01:02:26.809 --> 01:02:31.309 functions are offline. Well, this was all over 01:02:31.309 --> 01:02:33.550 the place this episode. It was absolutely all 01:02:33.550 --> 01:02:37.630 over the place. Tangents! I don't know how this 01:02:37.630 --> 01:02:39.130 is going to come out to somebody listening to 01:02:39.130 --> 01:02:41.190 it, but I hope you enjoy it. Thank you very much 01:02:41.190 --> 01:02:43.980 for listening. Thank you. This has been the Untitled 01:02:43.980 --> 01:02:47.679 Sci -Fi Show.

We're also Land Before 01:03:23.650 --> 01:03:26.329 Prime. New show. Oh, sorry. Yes, Land Before 01:03:26.329 --> 01:03:29.030 Prime. I forget it as well. Yeah, where we review. 01:03:29.090 --> 01:03:31.409 I haven't done any yet. We had five -minute reviews 01:03:31.409 --> 01:03:34.889 with spoilers of films that are not available 01:03:34.889 --> 01:03:37.730 on streaming services, only on DVD. Cinema or 01:03:37.730 --> 01:03:41.690 old media? Cinema or DVD. Or VHS or Blu -ray 01:03:41.690 --> 01:03:45.030 or Minidisc or UMD if you've got your PSP. UMD 01:03:45.030 --> 01:03:49.519 review of Predator. Yeah. That's it. I think 01:03:49.519 --> 01:03:51.219 that's everything. Have I missed anything? No, 01:03:51.360 --> 01:03:53.619 I think that's good. Thank you very much, everyone. 01:03:54.039 --> 01:03:57.039 Love you. There will be, I guess the intro, you'd 01:03:57.039 --> 01:03:58.480 have heard it. There is one at the start of this. 01:03:59.260 --> 01:04:01.420 Is there? I can't remember. I can't remember 01:04:01.420 --> 01:04:04.460 what it is. I think it might. You know what? 01:04:04.579 --> 01:04:06.179 Let's look at it right now because I have made 01:04:06.179 --> 01:04:08.880 notes on it. Let's find out if it was a special 01:04:08.880 --> 01:04:11.380 one or not. What do we reckon? Is it a special 01:04:11.380 --> 01:04:15.730 one? Let's go all the way down here. Oh, yeah. 01:04:15.849 --> 01:04:18.030 This was meant to be the one. I was meant to 01:04:18.030 --> 01:04:20.630 do this one before we went away. This is a connection. 01:04:20.869 --> 01:04:23.389 This is a special one because I made a connection 01:04:23.389 --> 01:04:29.650 too. So there is one, two, three, four, five. 01:04:29.789 --> 01:04:33.650 There's six things. Okay. So there's six science 01:04:33.650 --> 01:04:37.170 fiction related things in that intro. And then 01:04:37.170 --> 01:04:40.710 you need to find the connection between all six. 01:04:41.440 --> 01:04:45.440 Oh, I like it. Like the pub quiz days. So this 01:04:45.440 --> 01:04:48.699 is an, it's an easy one. The connection's easy 01:04:48.699 --> 01:04:51.360 for the first time I'm doing it because that's 01:04:51.360 --> 01:04:52.699 what I did with Guess the Intro. The first few 01:04:52.699 --> 01:04:53.900 Guess the Intro's easy. And then after that, 01:04:53.940 --> 01:04:55.579 I'm going to make them difficult. So I'll do 01:04:55.579 --> 01:04:57.599 more connection ones, but they will be difficult. 01:04:57.699 --> 01:05:00.039 Okay, no, that's cool. I like it. But for now, 01:05:00.039 --> 01:05:02.559 the first one, I think it's going to be easy 01:05:02.559 --> 01:05:05.460 to get probably all of them and also easy to 01:05:05.460 --> 01:05:07.980 guess the connection. Awesome. But yeah, just 01:05:07.980 --> 01:05:10.880 testing the water with it. Nice. I like it. Bye. 01:05:10.900 --> 01:05:18.460 Bye. Thank you for listening to the Untitled 01:05:18.460 --> 01:05:22.840 Sci -Fi Show. This station is now shutting down 01:05:22.840 --> 01:05:40.980 and will be back in two weeks.
