Leon, we have an assignment. You've got terrible
handwriting. I haven't written anything since
I was at school. Maybe more than a dozen inside.
The doors now blow the bulge. Yes, sir. I just
made a joke. And, uh, you know... Stop talking.
Elevation and heart rate detected. Would you
like a pill? No. Time travel has not yet been
invented. But 30 years from now, it will have
been. You guys haven't seen my wife. You've seen
my wife. My special angel. Hello and welcome
to the Untitled Sci -Fi Show. I'm Rob, that's
Tom. No, I'm not. Oh shit, who are you? I'm Dave.
What, Dave? I'm Dave Bob Montgomery Jim. Dave
Bob Montgomery Jim III. Yeah. Not like the last
two intros we've done on this show. We haven't
rolled straight in because we started talking
about something and I've just whacked record
on. That's true. You didn't whack one off today.
Yesterday. Fair enough. As of recording. Have
you been watching your Unify and looking like,
oh shit, look, I looked at that yesterday. No,
no, no. VPN, VPN, VPN. Enter authorization code.
Right, it's another Guess the Intro. Guess the
Intro! How do you think you got on? Oh, I got
six out of six, mate. Yeah, you reckon? Oh, bang
on, mate. I absolutely got six out of six. I
know I did. Okay, well then, let's play the first
one. Oh, by the way, literally no one sent in
anything. Oh, dickheads. No one did, so I think
everyone's getting kicked out of the winner's
lounge. It might just be you and me in there.
The winner's lounge is now closed. Yeah, now
closed for refurbishment. Crime does not entail
death. Thought crime is death. 1984. 1984. It's
a very difficult read. It's a very tough wank.
Yeah, no, it is. But there's one even worse than
that. I'm trying to think. I start these sentences
and it's like, why have I not even thought of
what I'm actually going to say? Because we record
them so late. We record everything so late all
the time. So we're always, our brains are already
tired. Yeah, there was another book long. The
same ilk of 1984. Oh, my God. By Aldous Huxley.
Yes, Aldous Huxley. In fact, if I looked up...
Is it Aldley Huxley? Aldous Huxley? I'm going
to have to... Do you want me to pause? Yeah,
go on then. Brave New World is the book by Aldous
Huxley. Fuck me. Like 1984, it's an incredibly
tough kind of read. And I think I read it first
as a teenager and there's like this entire section
of, like basically these kids are in school.
And I mean kids. The bell rang. Sex time. Sex
time? Yeah. Basically the kids have sex. Oh.
It's just, this is weird. We're just a make population.
And this is non -Swatch territory. Like it. Yeah.
Next one. It was 1904 by the way, yes. When you
open your mind to the impossible, sometimes you
find the truth. Right, a second visit from this
show. That was Fringe. Yeah, a bit easier that
one than the first time I put Fringe on. I did
a really obscure... Yeah, the first one you did
was so obscure. Yeah, because it was just him
yelling. He was saying character, but he was
yelling in the supermarket or something. It's
a really funny scene if you've seen the show.
You see, I've only seen bits and pieces. I love
it. I love Fringe. I've watched it all the way
through twice. Oh, I must give it a proper try
then. If only we did that with Supernatural.
To the lake! I'm going to take a little swim.
Yeah, when you listen to it, it sounds like you've
doctored the sound to that. But when you hear
it on the show, I swear it doesn't sound like
Stranger Things. Stranger Things. I haven't doctored
it. No, it just sounds like it is, doesn't it?
I've shortened the blank space between. But I
couldn't make it too close together because it
didn't sound even remotely right. But yeah, it's,
I think it's season three. There's Dust, that's
Dustin. And then there's one of the other kids
and then the ginger head girl and they're sat
getting told off by all the parents. Yes. Basically.
Great show. I really do like, ooh, dear, oh dear.
Sorry, I wasn't on mute, ladies and gentlemen.
It wasn't picked up. Ooh, that's a black mark.
I was not pure. The teleporter insisted on your
purity. I was not pure. Bloody great film and
I must, must, must watch the original at some
point. The Fly. The Fly, yeah. It's been a long
time since I've seen that. Long, long time. Geena
Davis and... I can't... Oh no, there goes the
brain out of my nose. Jurassic Park. Yes, I know.
I know. It's just completely gone. What can I
tell you? Ian Malcolm. Ian Malcolm. Whatever
happens, we can't let the new guy find out about
our powers. What do we do if he finds out? We
kill him. And say Jeff Goldblum. Yeah, yeah.
Misfits. Misfits, yeah. It's funny because I
put that in. I think you might have messaged
saying that you hated Misfits at some point this
week. Someone said something to me about Misfits.
No, it wasn't me. Yeah, being rubbish, I was
thinking, oh, that was in the... I did the filming
for a couple of episodes of Misfits. I enjoyed
that. First season in particular. And the kid
who thinks he hasn't got any powers and then
finds out he does actually have a power. Yeah,
I think... To an extent, it's one of these series
that it had a really good, strong premise, and
it may have gone on a bit too long. I think season
two was good, and then they changed everyone
on season three, apart from, I think, the Irish
guy. I think he might have been the only returning
character. Oh, really? Yeah, I think so. But
then he went on to do Umbrella Academy and other
stuff. He's a fucking big -time bad guy now.
Yeah, well, no, that's fair enough. With me saying
all that, I don't even know his name. Oh, this
is annoying. Sorry, my phone just got into battery
saver, so it just kicked me out of every single
app I was in. Oh, for fuck's sake. Hang on. Oh,
Jesus. This is like fucking clown music. Now
I don't even know how many we've done. There's
one left. So, what would you little maniacs like
to do first? Best film ever. Weird science. Yeah,
my dad loves this one. It's bloody brilliant.
Yeah. I remember watching it as a kid. It's like,
this is fucking brilliant. Why do I feel funny
in my pants? This is brilliant. She's really
fit, eh? Oh, yeah. What a film. What a film.
Really, really good film. Something we probably
should cover at some point if it wasn't so misogynist.
That's not even a real word. I think I even remotely
care about that on this show. Yeah, true. Tits.
Tits, fannies. So, yeah, well done. You gave
a single one. You and me in the lounge again
this week. Just us. Bit of Dido, maybe. Oh, yeah.
So, mister, what's been going on? Do you want
to hear about things I've watched or things I've
gamed? Do some watch first, then we go to games.
Okay, so I hate football. You know I hate football.
I like playing football. I used to enjoy a little
bit of Championship Manager back in the days
of Championship Manager 2. But I cannot stand
watching football. It drives me fucking mad.
It's boring as hell. I started Ted Lasso. Yeah?
Because it just looks funny. And I'm on episode
three, and I'm blown away by it. It's this perfect
mix of comedy. emotion. You can't really sum
it up really easy. A lot of the Apple TV series
I've found this. Same with Severance when I introduced
you to it. It's really hard to explain. What
am I meant to be doing with this? Am I meant
to be laughing at this? Am I meant to be sad
at this? Yeah, it's all of them. And it is all
of it. And I love the fact, I mean, spoilers
for anyone that hasn't watched it. I love the
fact that he's baking the biscuits. It's just
perfect. I knew it was coming as well. You know
what this all stems from? It was an advert that
he did. Was it? Yeah, it was a Super Bowl advert.
He was the Tottenham manager. Come over from
America. I think it was Tottenham he was managing,
yeah. And he was being that character. Not understanding
football. It was great, yeah. I'm absolutely
loving it. Just absolutely love it. I love the
bloke that plays Nate. He's absolutely fantastic.
He just acts the role. My opinion? Yes. It's
brilliant. It's really good. There's literally
one episode in the whole lot of them that I didn't
like. Only one. And it's because it's an agenda
episode. Oh. Just one. It's like they had a guest
writer for it. My dad stopped watching the entire
series because of that one. Oh, for fuck's sake.
The most recent series, he found it that egregious
that he refused to watch anymore. But, you know,
that's old people. I also didn't like it. Daily
Mail readers. I always watched it and was like,
come on. Where has this come from, guys? You've
got a special writing for this. And it's only
one episode because every episode after that,
brilliant again. It's like literally they just
jump the shark. It's beautifully written. It's
just very, very well done. You might like Stick
with Owen Wilson. That's on the Apple TV Stick.
It's a golf version. Oh, okay. But I mean, he's
not nice. Oh, fine. He's a knobhead. Because
there's another one that's just been released
on Disney called Chad something. Chad Powers.
Yeah. And it's basically Mrs. Doubtfire, but
American football. Yeah, so he... Something to
do with he fucks up in a big game. Yeah, so he
puts some... Becomes a student instead. Yeah,
he becomes a college football player instead.
Yeah. I don't think I'll watch that one. I'm
not really into that. But I'm halfway through
Stick. Well, I got all the way up to how many
episodes were out at the time, like four episodes,
and then I've waited for them all to come out.
If they're all out now, then I'll watch it again.
Well, I think there's three seasons of Ted Lasso,
isn't there, at the moment? Yeah, and there's
a fourth one, and there's another one coming
any day. Apple do seem to be doing a good job
on Apple TV. There does seem to be a lot that
they're producing. It doesn't come up often.
It's not something like Netflix where I get an
email every other day. By the way, this has just
come in or Prime. We've just got this. I think
it's because Apple just literally go, oh yeah,
we've got a new series for you. And then suddenly
all you hear about it for the next year is that
because it's so good. Because Apple stuff is
Apple stuff. Netflix is not just Netflix. It's
loads of other places. That's why they bring
all these people in. But everything on Apple,
as far as I can tell, they've published. Apple
Originals. They've put their name on it. You
know, they're obviously wanting to be good. The
only critique I'd have about the Apple TV Plus
thing is it's not kid stuff. That, I think, is
worth it. There is some kid stuff. It's just
really what your kid's into. That's the difficulty.
I mean, there was a talking tractor on there,
T quite liked for quite a while. He has somewhat,
and I will give them this, the original Fraggle
Rocks on there. And then Apple TV's version of
Fraggle Rock is on there. And it's very, very
close to the original. They did a really good
job of going, I'm just going to carry this on.
Yeah. So I was pretty happy with that. But yeah,
I know what you mean. Kids aren't interested
in Charlie Brown. And that's the sort of stuff
they did. Yeah. It's almost like we've done kid
stuff for the parents. Anyway, so there's Ted
Lasso. I'm nearly at the last episode of Strange
New Worlds. Kay wanted me to go back because
she was meant to be doing her homework. And so
I was like, I'll put Strange New Worlds on. And
I was just finishing whichever episode it was.
And Gem came down and said, right, you are doing
your homework, aren't you? And she quietly admits,
actually, no, I'm quite into what Tom's watching.
It's like, oh, okay. And then she saw the recap
for the one where we. Said she's a bitch and
why would you go up and put your hand under something
that's blatantly going to stick a needle in you
and you don't know how deep. She wanted to watch
that one, but I think that's killed it for her
now because that one really is very Trekking
the Trek. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And to be fair, it's
also quite terrifying that there's a man running
around with no eyeballs. Yeah, it's a spooky
one, yeah, yeah. So, yeah, okay. I tried to restart
Lower Decks the latest season. Couldn't get into
it. I'm so going for it. I don't know if it was
just because I wasn't in the mood and I was trying
to push myself. But like you, I'm gutted. Utterly,
utterly gutted. I wish I was in the mood to watch
it. I wish I was. I don't know what happened
between the break, between the two. Maybe it
was just learning that it was going to be the
last one. And I was like, ugh. And you don't
want it to be the last one. So maybe you avoid
watching it so it doesn't come to an end sort
of thing. I just think the writing's lazy. I
think it's literally, the risers have gone, well,
if we're not getting another series, fuck you.
And it just became, yeah, I don't know. And then
finally, me and Jem have started watching, we're
halfway through Smile 2, which is a great film.
I've managed to get halfway through. Yeah, we
loved the first one. Didn't you see the cinema?
I saw it at the cinema. Well, two. Yeah, well,
both. And yeah, we're halfway through and we'll
finish the rest at the end of this week, probably.
And it's just really good. sequel to what I thought
was an enjoyable good horror film that was fairly
new fairly good idea that hadn't been just trope
after trope after trope in some ways I'd say
Smile 2 is better than the first but I don't
know I think that's a very much your own opinion
thing because I think a lot of people got a lot
of love for the first one and the whole dead
cat birthday present thing and all of that but
I think they both have their own Own bits to
it. But that's everything I've watched. Then
gaming. Nothing modern. I'm still in two minds
about Battlefield 6. I get to the point where
it's in my cart. Should I click buy? I walk away.
I then see some TikTok videos. I watch some YouTube
videos. And it seems so 50 -50 out there at the
moment. If you just concentrate on the console
side, and I've tried avoiding watching videos
that have been like the PC players. All I'm seeing
is 50 % of people saying they've ruined this
game. What are they doing? Why have they done
this? And then the other 50 are going, this is
the best Battlefield yet. Don't know what people
are moaning about. I honestly don't know what
to make my mind of it. Battlefield has always
done that because everyone's so used to playing
Call of Duty. Battlefield is not Call of Duty.
We've said it on this show. We've said it fucking
forever since we played the Bad Company games.
You play the objective. Yes. Killing is a massive
part of it. You have tickets that you need to
run down, and tickets represent respawns, but
you win by getting the points. If you have four
out of the five objectives, it's going to be
easy to kill that number down. You run down their
tickets, as well as their tickets running down
when you kill someone. So you could never capture
a point, and if you kill 250 of them before they're...
You know, they've claimed the tickets, which
they wouldn't be able to do. I think you can
still win. I think the thing that's somewhat
worrying me is... i'm not a fan of games that
specifically set up for snipers and that type
of gameplay because what i find is whether it's
call of duty whether it's battlefield you name
it you just get someone who is stupidly good
they manage to get somewhere where the developers
don't think they're going to be able to get to
and then boom you're in your spawn spot you take
one step and you're dead one step you're dead
And I hate it. I absolutely hate that. And Battlefield
6 has got ladders, so you can get places now
that you're not meant to be able to get to, specifically
because you've got a ladder to do it. Well, the
recon can't have it. No, but if you work with
someone, like we do, you know you're going to
end up like that. And then secondly, I think
the thing that kind of blew my mind was watching
people run around a map, taking out... tens of
people using a shotgun at a distance yeah almost
like a fucking sniper rifle it's like uh yeah
is that right i used to do that in world war
z there was they patched it out now there was
a shotgun that worked like you had a slug didn't
it and it had um a silencer on it too which was
just incredible so i spent a lot of time with
that very long way shotgun with the slimes running
so yeah so i'm still in two minds over well i
have it i've played two games It was on my list,
I'll talk about it now. It's on the PS5. I got
a PS5 because of Xbox putting their prices up
and, you know, it's ridiculous. Yeah. So it's
cheaper if you do end up getting it to play together
together on the PS5. Talking about Xbox very
quickly. Yeah. One of the Microsoft people have
come forward and said the next Xbox, expect it
to be purely premium. What do you mean? They
claim it's going to be the most premium of consoles
that comes out. Expensive, they mean. From the
sound of it, the way it's been worded makes you
think we're going to be heading for a four -figure.
The thing is, it just means I won't get it. It'll
be a computer. Yeah. I mean, at that point, I
won't get it, and then I'll have to wait for
what PlayStation do, and they'll be more expensive,
because PlayStations normally are more expensive,
and then I'm probably just going to be priced
out of buying a console. Well, that's... It's
the reason I've just got that computer. I was
never in a million years ever going to be able
to save up money for a computer. And I've completely,
by luck, got a... Now, apparently it's four years
old, but to me it's brand new. My computer was
10 years old, and then I was using your laptop.
But the thing is, is you and I are both people
who accept that a game can be enjoyable run on
medium settings at 1080p. Yeah. We're not people
that need to run it at 8K, 120 frames a second,
sorry, 240 frames a second now for a 240 hertz
screen. We don't care at ultra -high settings.
No, exactly. I've never cared about that. I want
the game to be played. I want it to look good,
but I don't care about it looking lifelike. And
I think that's, unfortunately, where people end
up, don't they? It's going to be tough for me
to be buying £1 ,000 worth of Xbox. That's a
very, very big fucking ask. And I really do think
that there'll be the people... People on PC are
really, at that point, going to be like, dude,
why aren't you buying PC? You can spend £1 ,000
on Xbox. £1 ,000 of PC components is probably
the same as £1 ,000 worth of Xbox. And let's
face it, next year, PS5 gets Halo. We are in
a world now, games are coming off consoles. They're
not sticking around to one console anymore. Even
main branded bloody content isn't. And it's going
to come to PC. It's almost, in my mind, is this
the great reset is this time for actually to
say shall i actually not bother saving for a
new console now is my new console actually a
gaming pc in the future and in two years time
am i just going to say i'm going to put a chunk
of money down on a semi -decent pc and that'll
be that and what's it going to be like for our
boys when they ask for an xbox for christmas
And you'll be like, I don't have £1 ,000 that
I can buy you a game console for Christmas. That's
gone. I got my N64 I got for Christmas. My Mega
Drive I got for Christmas. My Game Boy I got
for Christmas. Yeah, it's a different world,
isn't it? That's completely gone. The closest
you're going to get is a Switch. And knowing
our boys, that'll be entertainment for about
one year, but then they'll want to actually get
into proper gaming. And it's harsh to say that
the Switch can't do proper gaming. It can. We
know the Switch 2 is... vast improvement but
on the most part i think kids are wanting playstation
they're wanting xbox i feel like what it'll be
like for us in this house we've said about this
privately it'll be one console that we all share
yeah and maybe one christmas the family present
will be a family all three of us we're all gonna
have this present together this is our present
for the year you know three controllers and xbox
or whatever yeah we have a control for all of
us today although i'd say we're both fairly good
about secondhand stuff yeah and i think our kids
hopefully will understand money i know we've
got k started quite early on when she was younger
about understanding what money is and how important
it is so maybe our kids just will be the kids
and the generation that understands a second
-hand console isn't a bad thing um so you were
still going on about battlefield 6 before i threw
in yeah well i've got it on the ps5 as we were
saying uh i don't particularly like the ps5 controller
for fpss and i've got some money for my birthday
from my parents and i did a government um survey
and they gave me 35 quid in vouchers nice yeah
all i had to do was answer six questions about
climate change as if i was like the climate change
so there's like this nikon third party controller
yeah it is an xbox style but works for ps5 and
the only thing it can't do is the haptic feedback
we're actually playing Battlefield 6 with haptics
on the triggers I actually found a bit annoying
so I'm not going to miss that but it can do things
like you can change the sticks like on the Xbox
controller that I've got and you can make the
triggers shallower again which my controller
can do which I do for shooters I don't like to
have to bring my finger all the way down to bring
the gun up you can just do a very light tap on
it. Oh, is it the Nacon Revolution by any chance?
Yeah. I'm only getting it because it's quite
expensive. Because I've got the vouchers and
money. And to be fair, that's what I would have
paid for the Elite 2 controller if I hadn't had
vouchers. Yeah. So actually, if it's the same
quality as the Elite 2, and the Elite 2 was a
great controller, I just don't feel I use it
to the benefit that I could have. I do nowadays.
I have changed a lot of it. But I don't use the
flappy paddles. They just annoy me. Yeah, I never
put those on. I did change the sticks, and I
do have some... I do play, for example, on first
-person shooters, I quite often change the trigger
to the smallest amount of movement, so it's just
as soon as you click it, rather than having to
go all the way into fire. That's what I do, yeah,
I have that all the time. Not for the trigger
so much, I have it for the iron sights. Good
shout, good shout. Yeah, that's where I put it.
So, basically, Battlefield 6 again. So, controller
things aside, I played two games. That's all
I've had time to do since I got it on my birthday.
Yep. Two games. The first game, I got fucking
annihilated. Lost. We lost. I got annihilated.
I think I killed maybe two people. It felt so
very different. Because I'd gone from Xbox to
PlayStation, I wasn't ready for it. Then I played
the second game, and I came third in the lobby.
Oh, nice. So we still lost because my team weren't
playing the fucking objective. But, you know,
I only had a few more deaths than kills. It wasn't
that bad a ratio. I felt pretty good. Got loads
of levels up. Had a much better time the second
time around. And, of course, we're turning off
cross -play because when we played the demo with
cross -play on to start with and fuck me, we
got annihilated. I'm only playing other PlayStation
and Xbox players. I think cross -play off just
means it doesn't let you play against PC players
as far as I can tell. Correct. It seems a fairy
kind of option. Although you can stick a keyboard
and mouse into a PS5. And an Xbox, so you could
have people doing that. Which I'm sure they do.
Very, very quickly then, as I know we've been
chatting a while, completed Doom 1 and 2 again
this week because they're nice short games. Started
Rise of the Triad, the original Rise of the Triad.
It's just not a mark on Doom. It's a great game.
Very, very funny moments. I don't know. Do you
know what Rise of the Triad was? No, I know the
name. It's a game by Apogee and... It's more
like a modern version of Wolfenstein around the
same time that Doom was, but it's just much more
kind of gross. killing nazis left right and center
you blow them up and you get eyeballs drop down
the screen and ludicrous gibbs is one of the
common things that comes up uh it's a great game
but it's not mark on doom the level design of
doom this what unfortunately rise of the tribe
feels like it's just like it feels like you've
got a giant square and they've just built a really
basic maze inside it whereas doom kind of felt
like you had depth i know technically doom's
engine was inferior to the build engine for those
of you that know what that is whereas you couldn't
actually build a level that you go under yourself
it was all on one level basically and you basically
built up and down but no kind of holes or tunnels
and stuff like that was the build you could but
um yeah just it Beats Rise of the Triad. And
finally, there's a game on my phone I've started
playing again called Mini Motorways. And it's
a little map and basically how it plays is you
get a big building and a little building to start
with and you join them by a road. Then... Another
building appears and you've got to join that
on the road. And by the end of it, you end up
with this giant road network. You've got to build
and control. And if the traffic starts building
up, that's the end of the game. So you've got
to build roundabouts and you've got to put traffic
lights in or build motorways, hence the name.
And you've got to make sure the traffic is always
flowing constantly. And they're all different
colours as well. So red goes to red ones, blue
goes to blue bases and so on. It gets very confusing
very quickly. I watched, you know, Lemmy is,
you must know Lemmy is that. The Ace of Spades.
He's a comedian, isn't he? He used to have a
TV show, didn't he? I don't know who you're talking
about. I think he's a Scottish comedian. He used
to have a TV show. Now he does some streaming
on Twitch and stuff. I've got no idea who you're
talking about. He did this, I think it was City
Skylines, he was doing a playthrough of it. And
you can put yourself into the eyes of the people
in the city. Right. So he was playing it and
then he popped into a bus to do a bus tour. And
he's doing, it's like a one minute long clip
and he's pretending to be the bus driver. He's
pretending to be a mayor going around in a bus
tour. And hearses kept driving past. Oh, I've
seen this clip. He's killed his entire town.
He's like, I'm loving driving around. What's
going on? And his sewage failed, didn't it? The
whole city went from like 17 ,000 to 200 or something.
To 900 he was left with. All in the space of
time that he was doing a bus tour. doing this
little bus tour. Yes, I saw the clip of it. Oh,
it's so funny. And this is my son driving around
and, oh, look, there's a hearse. It just means
that my healthcare system's working properly
and the bodies are being moved around properly.
Oh, there's another hearse. It's working properly.
And then you're in Zoom and it's like, what's
happened? Oh, does everyone hate me? Yeah. I
saw the clip of that. That was very funny. It
was funny, yeah. That's it. 20 minutes? Blimey,
that was your longest one yet. Well done. You
say it like it's a bad thing. No, you can talk
as long as you want. You can talk as long as
you want. Okay, well, we're going to move on
to Planet of the Apes then. So reasons why that's
a good series, I feel. It's not. Right, okay,
so what have I done? We've already spoke about
Battlefield 6. Megabonk, still. Still playing
that, enjoying it. That's the games. I played,
as I said, two games of that and a little bit
of Mega Monk. I've not had any time to do anything
else. Welcome to Bear and Hood. Yeah, I've finished
Monster Red Guy. Thank God. I'm so glad that's
over. Gemma's just watched it as well. She's
quite traumatised by it. It was rough. I mean,
it was one of those things that you kind of,
you don't want to watch it. As I said, couldn't
eat my dinner. Don't want to watch it, but you
do walk around Ikea thinking, hmm. Could I put
my box of vulvas in there? Yeah, it's like, well,
they haven't done great leather work there. We
needed to finish it so we could say it was done.
So it would disappear from being on the preview
of Netflix when it's highlighted on the Apple
TV. So as soon as it, yeah, so we were both glad
that was done. And it got fucking weird. It like,
but it really was quite dramatized. Like the
other two, when you go on the Wikipedia for it,
the other two that they did were very good. I
was just going to say, you just went into that.
When you start feeling sorry for Ed Garn, you
know it's been dramatised. I said that to you,
didn't I? You did. I texted you saying, God's
making me feel sorry for this fucking guy. Yeah.
The other ones, they felt like they were... in
some realism and you weren't like constantly
wikipediaing characters who were in it are finding
out what they were really like whereas this one
i was finding with every single character like
the kind of love interest he has was apparently
nothing like how it's displayed in the show um
you know about him having all these interactions
and there's a whole episode which is all in his
head that's actually quite fine i guess i guess
that was the case because he was like talking
to his people through his um his radio. But yeah,
there was just quite a lot of it. I was like,
actually, from what I remember, like he was only
actually found guilty of killing two people.
Yes, I think so. You know, and he wouldn't admit
to doing any of it because he was insane. Because
he was schizophrenic. According to him, he had
no idea he'd done any of it. So they were saying
that he killed like 40 or whatever people and
dug up a hundred things. Like in the show, he
openly admitting to digging them up. But this
is the problem, isn't it, with things like biopics.
I always used to call it biopics, and it's not,
is it? It's biopic. Biopics, as far as I can
tell, yeah. The dramatisation, they just feel
like they have to do it because they feel like
people aren't going to watch it otherwise. So
the film The Imitation Game, which was the story
of the person that cracked... The Nazi Code.
I'm going to look it up on IMDb very quickly
because I feel bad that I can't remember his
name. Benedict Cucumberbatch. Benedict Cucumber
Snatch, yes. Imitation Game. I don't know why
this still makes me laugh. I'm such a fucking
child. The Imitation Game, that's weird. Alan
Turing. They make out he's all of these things
in that film and And oddly, I think it's his
nephew comes in my parents' shop. And they've
talked about the film before. And they said,
oh, so the film. And he said, yeah, utterly disgusting.
Followed history, basically. But the amount of
stuff they put in about the homosexuality and
all of that, utter rub. And he was saying about
things like there's a scene at the end where
the police officer. arrests him and he's they're
fairly brutal to him for being a homosexual and
all of that and he's like well actually no for
the what the family was told was by him before
he obviously died was a actually the police officers
were all very actually decent people very good
to him yeah so it's just because of dramatization
it can really ruin it and it makes you think
different things and we funny again had nearly
said funny enough there uh oh sure i just said
it um i had a conversation with my old man he
is obsessed with youtube he barely watches tv
anymore this is a man that used to record nazi
nazi nazi nazi nazi programs daily mail reader
um birds of a feather our parents car show car
show hitler car show car show yeah it was my
dad's yeah wheeler dealer wheeler fucking dealers
yes Oh, I'd punch that little man. And then there'd
be a recording of Ramstein on the box. Not quite
with my old man, but bloody wheeler dealers.
The number of people that go, I'm going to do
up a car now because I can do it really cheap
and then can't understand why they can't buy
a classic MG, go to a shop and go, oh, but Ed
said you could do decent deals. Yeah, mate, you've
got Ed, the bloke who's got magic hands. And
a really annoying, cheery chap and a TV crew.
What do you think these people are going to say
when they say, can you do it for cheaper? Of
course they're going to do it for cheaper. I
used to live for the reveal moment where Ed was
shown the car and told how long he had to do
it. Those moments were... Yeah, Ed, you've got
this long. What you don't see on the camera is
the 12 people working with Ed and the fully...
decked out garage he's got. I mean, I liked Ed.
He made his own YouTube series. Well, they fell
out, didn't they? Yeah, they fell out. The little,
or whatever his name is, he's horrible. I think
he was a twat. He is not a twat. And it just
really, so many people then go away thinking,
right, I'll buy a car for really cheap. I can
get the parts really cheap because all I've got
to do is go into these places and say, I'll do
it cheap for me. No. mention in that final price
so we spent this much on the car we spent this
much on parts we're going to sell it for this
we've made a four thousand pound profit yeah
what about The seven days of basically 24 -7
work you had, your top mechanics working on it.
All the tools that are in your garage that you
already own. This is what I was saying to my
dad. Every time we'd sit there and watch, I'd
be like, what's his hourly rate on that? Exactly,
but it's never added. It's never added. Completely
lost our spot. I don't know where we were. We
went from Nazis and... No, we went from Ed Gein
to Wheeler Dealers. Yeah, true. It's the Ed Gein
story. It's a six degrees of separation. Whatever
it is. And we've just bought this. We've just
bought this MG. Oh, Ed. What's in the compartment?
There's a fanny. No, he's going to... I'm going
to re -bolster it. Oh, God. Oh, I'm sure beige
was the original colour. It's got a beautiful,
beautiful skin I could put over this. Wonderful.
Anyway, Peacemaker, right. Two episodes into
Peacemaker. We know what's going to end up on
the 60 -second clip of this show. I want one
of your funny photoshops you've been doing, but
do The Wheelie Dealers by Ed Gein. I wonder if
I could get AI to generate a human skin cast.
Yeah, imagine Wheeler Dealers, but Ed is Ed Gein
instead. That's the show. That's the show I want
to be on television. Who'd be the seller? Let's
recast. Who's the guy selling it instead? Jeffrey
Dahmer is the seller. No, it'd have to be like
the psycho guy or whatever. Yeah, possibly. oh
i don't know american psycho i mean not um yeah
yeah there's the psycho is ed gein again oh you
worry me child you're right sorry peacemaker
i'm two episodes into peacemaker i love that
show i really enjoy the intro they were a great
intro when they're doing the dance Oh, and that
song was brilliant. It went straight on my playlist.
I absolutely love Wigwam and Do You Really Want
It? It's just such a good song. But the dance,
it's just phenomenal. And you've got bloody Robert
Patrick coming in. It's like, Terminator, Black
Terminator. And even he's just like, yes, this
show. Oh, it's brilliant. It's great. I mean,
I feel, I really like John Cena. I do feel a
bit sorry for him. You can tell his body's been
fucking destroyed by wrestling. There was a couple
of wide shots of him in episode one, and you
see him kind of stand up a bit and start walking.
He's got a bit of an odd posture, which he needs
to kind of, he walks it out a little bit. I think
he's been on interviews and stuff, he's saying
he's completely fucked. All his joints are completely
fucked. He's in pain all the time. He's got such
a weird gait and body shape now, doesn't he?
And it's just like... Your torso seems to be
bigger. But I love him. I think he's great. And
he would be really good casting. Was it you who
said if they ever did a Wolfenstein movie? Yeah,
he would work brilliantly as a Blazkowicz. Yeah.
And to be fair, he's a good actor. I'm hoping
now you've seen it because obviously we've seen
him as Peacemaker in The Suicide Squad. And he's
a dick. And he's meant to be a dick. We know
that. Just before you go to it, they did Previously,
and it was all previously from the film. Yes.
It was nice. But you get none of that kind of
feeling that he's anything but a dick in the
film. Yeah. But you come straight into Peacemaker
and you get this kind of immediate feeling of
there is more to him. He's a bit pathetic. And
he portrays it brilliantly. Yeah, he's a little
bit pathetic, to be fair. And he's like, he really
wants his dad to love him. And his dad fucking
hates him. Yeah. His dad thinks he's an absolute
just lemon. And be Belle. Yeah. He's like, you
should like check in that. It's just so funny.
He's got massive cock, everyone, by the way.
I love the helmet. You love his helmet? Yeah,
I bet. And he's eagly. How eagly the eagle, yeah.
That said, I'm on episode two. I think it's great.
I'm well happy with it. That's it. That's all
I've been doing. The rest, I don't know. My life's
been a blur. Fair enough. Oh, and I went on a
great date today. Accessing library computer
data. 1987. PG. Two hours long. What's the film
called? Inner Space. Inner Space. Cupid, draw
back your bow. That's all the... Any time I hear
that song, it just immediately takes me back
to inner space. What a good film. What a brilliant
film. Watched it with The Wife. Only scores 6
.8 on IMDb, which I think is a criminally underrated
film. Yeah. It was funny. It's a funny film because
at first I forgot it's a funny film. Yeah. So
it felt a little bit awkward right at the beginning.
I was like, oh yeah, this is actually meant to
be funny. Okay, I can enjoy it now. These are
meant to be fucking idiots. Excuse me, Dennis
Quaid plays a wanker very well. He does play
a wanker very well. He looks very young in it,
as does everyone. He looks great with his shirt
off too, by the way. He does. And his towel off.
Yep. Not bad. Except Martin Short, who just looks
the same no matter what age he is. Yeah, he looks
identical in that IMDb post as he does in the
film. I think... What a really good film. The
story's fun. Acting's all fun. Everyone's great
in it. You know, the bits that are meant to be
cheesy are cheesy. They're meant to be fucking
cheesy. I don't think there's anything in here
that's accidental. The CGI, really impressed
with it. Very believable, I think, all of that
inside. There's a particular spot where he's
about to get sucked into the heart. Now, coming
up towards the halfway point, about a third of
the way through, actually. It just looks so good
with this heart valve beating, all the little
blood cells flowing past. It just looks really,
really good for the era, especially. And yeah,
it's, you're right. It didn't look blue screened
at no point, but you know what I mean? That,
that kind of, well, that's not there. It all
looked right. It looked like it was meant to
be there. Even the scenes where they did some
great shots of Martin Short's character driving,
like, so the camera's like looking at him from
the side. He's, you know you know that now because
he's probably his car is probably on the back
of a truck and it's driving yeah but it looks
like it's on the fucking street because his car's
going past and stuff yeah it's not just like
some you know scenery flying past everything
they did in it was um you could tell it was purposely
there and good you know everything that was awkward
i think is meant to be awkward funny was meant
to be funny serious was meant to be serious it
all it's for me it all worked i had a great time
Let's face it, there's only a couple of negative
points to the film, in my opinion. One, I think,
doesn't matter how old it is. And two is purely
if you're going to be a proper geek about things.
So number one, it doesn't matter what age it
is, but we know that the body is not just full
of fucking water everywhere. Yeah. So when he's
floating around near the optic nerve, it's like...
No, because that would mean water would be pouring
out my eye all the time. It's just air there.
When you kiss a woman, there is not a giant tidal
wave of liquid going through. I did find that
a little bit gaggy. I mean, let's face it, they
could have had sex. We could have seen him go
in a creamy ejaculate, but they didn't. I'm glad
they didn't do that. It was lucky he just happened
to be in the saliva gland area as well at both
times. Considering he was just down by her womb.
The whole world feels way too full of liquid.
Everyone knew that, but I know that they had
to do something. and the way they were doing
it as well to make it look good. Obviously, some
of it must have been filmed in water tanks and
so on. So when they connect the little remote
to his auditory nerve, you see it clamp on and
little bubbles come up. So it was obviously done
in either a swimming pool or a toilet or whatever.
So I understand why they did it, because obviously
they needed to make it look good. um they could
just say oh yeah i'm in dry space so they could
make it so it could fly versus float and i'm
still in two minds is that what it's meant to
be is he meant to be in some bits he's flying
and other bits he's just like a little submarine
i don't know so that bit i can kind of walk away
from and then yeah if you want to be a total
science geek he wouldn't ever have been able
to stick his flask out and get the alcohol yeah
that was a bit like he wouldn't have been able
to get air into there and so on because if you
look at this whole science of it really geeky
shit here i'm really sorry sort of moment but
if you miniaturize something the reason that
you minute you would miniaturize oxygen tanks
with that person is because you're miniaturizing
the molecules of the oxygen in their lung and
then process it yeah when you've shrunk him down
that large his body cannot process what are now
basically giant balls of oxygen flying at him.
And it's the same with liquids and everything
else. I know you suspend disbelief and it's fine,
but I'm just going to say those are the bits
they never kind of comment on. And they nearly
do. That's the little bit that annoys me. It's
like, oh, well, they can't open it because he'll
implode because it's the whole pressure difference.
They could have just gone with, well, no, because
nothing works. He's too small. If it wasn't miniaturized
with him. He can't use it. That would have been
sorted then. Anyway, those are the two negative
points for me. Otherwise, absolutely fucking
adore this film. Yeah. The only other thing I'd
probably point out, which I can see why they
did it, where you see it. the ship flying through
the air canal, which is a brilliant scene. Yeah.
We see the light through the air canal. They
just flip it. It's just mirrored when it's on
the woman. Straight up, exactly the same shot,
mirrored. They didn't get away with it, I noticed.
But aside from that, yeah, everything was brilliant.
But I mean, it's still a great shot, you know.
To you, unusual for the time. 80s films, on the
most part, and I will just say on the most part,
just to protect myself there, rarely do I remember
an 80s film being two hours or longer. and this
came in at two hours i was surprised for a comedy
as well yeah i know it was an action comedy but
it was an action sci -fi thriller comedy all
in one so two hours that was a surprise it doesn't
feel it no it doesn't you don't get numb bum
from it absolutely fine but that was a surprise
for me did you read any of the trivia for this
nope oh my god oh dear lord right before we even
get to the film then so Apparently when Tuck
is talking to Jack, so Tuck is Dennis Quaid,
Jack is Martin Short, they were in the same room,
just separated. So basically Martin Short is
basically talking to Tuck. They didn't just film
him doing his lines. They just stuck him in a
booth and they were in the same room, which is
a really good way of doing it. It just works.
Brilliant. Originally, Tuck was meant to be an
older gentleman. He wasn't meant to be Dennis
Quaid as a young man. And it was going to be
Ted Danson. But cheers and three men and a little
lady had come along and Ted said, no, I'm not
free. But wait, even more exciting. Around that
time, Arnold Schwarzenegger wanted to be in comedies.
Yeah. Somehow we ended up with twins, so I don't
know what happened there. Oh, stop. So, Tuck
was meant to be Arnold Schwarzenegger and Michael
J. Fox for Jack. But Arnold Schwarzenegger turned
it down because it wasn't a straight -up comedy.
And Michael J. Fox then lost interest. I think
I would have liked to have seen their version
of it, but he wouldn't have been very good at
it. Imagine him squeezing into that fucking robot
thing. Something just tells me that can't be
true. That's got to be one of these things. Someone
has written on there, and no one has ever gone
and fact -checked it. I mean, Arnie was probably
top for everything. Well, 87, you said. So we've
had Commando, we've had Terminator, we've had
Predator. We'll ignore Conan the Barbarian, Red
Sonja, Total Recall. And he's still got a load
more to come. He's got things, not Equilibrium,
that wasn't his one, Erasure, Eraser even. He's
got True Lies, which, okay, was a comedy, but
it's a great film. So anyway, that was one of
the facts. The blood cells were jello. Which
is very cool. I think that's very cool. So those
were the trivia things. I thought, actually,
if all of those are true, I really like that.
I've got a quiz for you. I do. You've got five
questions to get your knowledge on this film.
How closely are you paying attention? Okay, ready?
First one's an easy one. When, what's his name,
got injected. Yes. With Dennis Quaid. Where was
he injected? He was injected into Martin Short's
arse cheek. In his bottom, yes. A nice easy one.
Yep. Is that fat corpuscles? Which is funny because
the whole point of the film, he's meant to be
like this full of bravado. He's meant to be this
drunk. People don't think much of him. But when
you first see Jack go into Tuck's apartment,
he's obviously done... There's even the joke
where the scientist is like, can we please go
through the plan? And he's like, well, who's
nervous now? I know what I'm doing. We're fine.
And you're just led to believe, oh, no, he's
full of bravado. He's not bothered. He's just
this alcoholic and whatever. And you go into
his house and he's like, well, apartment, and
he's got robots in there. So he has actually
been paying attention to this. He does make the
joke, though, he's like, I only studied rabbits.
Yeah, well, you have to really love the idea
of that as well. So when they do go back to the
apartment for the first time, something happens
to them. And it is an EMB. Now, what does the
EMB stand for? This is our third iteration of
this thing in the last few films that we've watched.
Electromagnetic. B. Oh, blast? It's not a pulse,
which is what we've had already. It's not pulse.
It's a BBB. It's not blast. What was the other
one we had? Electromagnetic. What was the ghost,
the gunting one? Field. Field, yes. We've had
EMP, we've had EMF, and now we've got an EMB.
Is it electromagnetic? Booster. Booster, that's
it. Now, when that happens, what goes flying
out the window? Oh, fuck. Because the guy brings
it back in. The bad guy brings it back in and
hands it to him along with a letter. Oh, yeah.
This is when they're in Martin Short's apartment,
not the microwave. No. I won't say coffee maker,
but I've got no idea. The cassette player launches
a VHS out of the window. Yes, it does. Yes, yes,
yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, it does. Right. Scrimshaw.
He's got a funky license plate. Can you remember
what his license plate is? Snap -on. No. Oh,
no. Scrimshaw. Shit. Sorry. I'm thinking Mr.
Robot Hand. Igo. That's his name. Oh, fuck. Go
on. It's a Mortal Kombat character. The Ice Guy.
Sub -Zero. Sub -Zero. S -U -B -Z -R -O. And I
think you just alluded to it. What is the special
attachment the robot hand man has? He's got the
gun hand. He's got all sorts. No, what's the
super special attachment that you see very briefly?
Oh, my God. Gem and I spoke about this today.
He's got a dildo attachment. He's got a French
tickler. Oh, dear. She said that you were going
to watch it with Kay or she sold Kay. And I went,
do you remember what's in this film? It's a PG.
What's a cock between a man and his step? Okay,
no, let's not go there. About 15 years. Right.
jail uh yeah i the thing is i've got to go from
the notes i haven't got that many notes because
i just enjoyed watching it i've got to be honest
i didn't make many notes i got halfway through
and then i just stopped doing notes because i
thought yeah that none of these are negative
these are just all i'm literally writing down
what happens in the film yeah that's what i found
myself doing i just like it's just giving me
kind of reminders i mean picardo's fucking accent
is atrocious oh god yeah he's so funny in it
but it's just like i'm here for you picardo because
i know you'll be the doctor one day yeah oh yeah
make the most of that and i love that um shit
what's his name dennis miller i think his name
is let me have a quick look i've got it written
down Dick Miller, sorry, turns up in this. He's
the cab driver at the beginning. Yeah, I was
thinking... Dick Miller, the man who has basically
been a tiny role in every film under the sun.
He's in Gremlins, Gremlins 2, he's in Terminator,
Small Soldiers, and he's always this little two
-bob bit, like kind of has a sentence or two
kind of to say, and that's it. He's not the dad
in Independence Day, is he? No, that's... And
just because I'm not looking at a picture of
him now. But yeah, Miranda said just like, he's
in everything. He is in everything. Everything
80s and early 90s. He is just small roles left,
right and centre. But even the woman in the supermarket
who's scanning herself. Oh, what, the ginger
head one? She's in loads of stuff too, but I
can't place what I know her from because they
didn't IMDb her. Wendy. His not even girlfriend
or we had a date. Just the girl there. Yeah,
the girl he fancies, basically. Her name is Wendy.
She's played by an actress called Wendy Schaal.
Do you recognise that name? I did. Why do I recognise
Wendy Schaal's name? No, go on. She is Francine
in American Dad. What? Is she? Yeah, she's Francine
in American Dad. Oh, Jesus. Oh. Yeah, I know.
It threw me as well. I was like, oh, okay. I
didn't even clock her voice. It doesn't sound
it. It does not sound like Francine in a space.
But yeah, all sorts of people just turn up in
it, don't they? Any of those films of this era.
So many bits I've loved about it. I love the
fact that... the set where they've got the first
experiment going on looks brilliant you've got
monitors everywhere you've got it looks like
really industrial kind of thing and i was thinking
if this was modern day they'd set it in like
a factory the size of a fucking stadium yeah
you know like star trek did didn't they so you've
got the original star trek you've got the uh
the warp core and it's this tiny little kind
of circular area and that's it and then you get
to kind of star trek um the chris pioneer of
star trek and to be fair to them it's true this
is a fucking nuclear reactor and it just feels
like you're in this giant industrial submarine
giant expansive space i'm not going to diss them
for that because i think that's a really good
move because genuinely that's probably how it
would be And I think they would do the same.
If they modernized this, it wouldn't be this
tiny little set that they'd built. It would be
this giant bloody factory sort of thing that
they'd built it within. But I love the fact that
miniaturization can only be done by having these
two little tiny red chips that go onto really
badly soldered boards. Yeah, all of the physical...
uh stuff and sets they were just immaculate they
were perfect they were brilliant i really enjoyed
that scientist who was getting kind of interviewed
as going around and he was doing it but also
whilst doing all the hr admin at the same time
he's like oh these shouldn't be on your desk
they should have been on my desk two weeks ago
it was absolutely brick yeah that bit i loved
and i got the note as well when he's talking
about the whole laser i swear all the stuff he's
saying is probably true all the bits about it
was a 50 megawatt laser but milliwatt laser but
we've made it into a 600 one by doing xyz but
the funny thing is is there's a bit of the line
where he goes on to about and um oh so i've got
here when the science is speaking to the camera
it sounds exactly as you expect it to sound i
do wonder if he's talking about real things although
he does then say something something it was then
built by a van from a vandegraaff generator which
everyone will know if you've ever gone to secondary
school in the uk is the thing that you put your
hands on and it makes your hair go frizzy and
then parts of a hoover So it's like, oh, what?
I'll try and work out what he's talking about
that they built from that. So I genuinely don't
know which bit they built, but little bits like
that, it's like they were throwing in like little
science -y bits and then are they listening still?
So we'll just say this. Yeah, all of that stuff
was really, all of the physical stuff was really
good. I liked it, all of it. Yeah, well, as you
said, the CGI stuff as well, although I'm certain
when he gets miniaturized, You get that kind
of, it's a fairly classic 80s kind of graphic
where you get the really bright light forming
lines around everything and it's kind of being
digitized or whatever. Is that not the effect
they used in, and my brain's gone, so this is
what happens, as you say, when we work late.
Now I've moved my finger and goddamn, quantum
leap. It probably is. It is him leaping. It's
like, we can use that. Although I think Quantum
Leap came out after this. What I liked, we can
go back to the chips again. When they put the
chips in, the really fucking elaborate robots
spinning around and stuff. And I said to Randall
at the time, I was like, why doesn't he just
fucking push it in? which they do at the very
end he's like we're watching the arm like get
ready and the guy just snatches it and puts it
in yeah it's like why are you using the robot
to open the box yeah you had too much time to
do this your film company went This is a million
pound robot arm. We've got it for the day. We're
using it. I feel like that's the joke though.
I feel that joke is there. It's just an elaborate
way of using the machine. Oh, and then at the
beginning of the film, obviously we've got the
trope of workmen being the ones that are breaking
in. I'm here to do the film. And of course, their
gun of choice, Uzis. Of course, there's always
Uzis. It's always Uzis. I think they just had
a whole job lot of them, didn't they? Okay, right.
Vernon Wells as Mr. Igo. What a brilliant portrayal
of an evil character. And I've got to say, as
a kid, that was the... I loved this film, but
it always used to scare me when Mr. Igo gets
miniaturized and put in his own little thing.
And that bit always used to terrify me. Especially
the bit where he ends up becoming a skeleton
in the stomach acid. Yeah. It used to scare me.
It was so well done. As a kid, I could properly
imagine this going on. It's like, oh, my God,
this is... That bit was absolutely brilliant.
You think he's going to shit out the little bones
of that little man. Oh, dear, I don't remember
having that for lunch. I ate a fairy. So, yeah,
well, I mean, in conclusion, let's conclude it.
What a great film. Breath of Fresh Air. We've
watched some really shit things recently on this
show. We have watched some really shit things.
It's been nice to watch something good. Something
old that was good as well. As much as I have
a fondness for Moon Trap. I don't know why I
said it like that. Or the Quatermass experiment.
That was enjoyable. This was... good for all
the right reasons it wasn't just a cult classic
it was well done it looked the part the actors
in it i don't like martin short normally i'm
not a fan of him he's not my my style of a comedian
but for this he was brilliant i mean the bits
where he he basically quaid says right you've
got to talk to her like this it sounds like dennis
quaid saying it just in his voice he just mimics
it perfectly and actually i will say no that's
the one other negative point i had on this we
are shown him jack as this massively neurotic
nervous cusp of a meltdown person but we're to
believe That within seconds, well, within minutes
of finally coming to the conclusion that he's
not going mad and this person is actually in
him, that he's willing to take on a gunman. Yeah.
And win. Yeah. That bit... The power was in him
all along, TJ. Of course. Transfer complete.
And of course a man was in him all along. Yeah,
lucky bastard. So we have actually decided before
this section, we decided before the show starts
what we're doing next. We're doing a wonderful
film from 1997. 1970? Yeah, 1997. And the reason
we're doing this one is because a prequel has
been announced. It has been, and I genuinely
don't know if that's going to be good, is it
going to be bad? And Karen's going to be happy
because she really likes this film. it's event
horizon yeah i mean don't forget sam neill's
character was the one that created event horizon
he created the ship so who are they going to
get to play young him if this is a prequel because
a prequel to event horizon has to be about the
creation of the ship and what happened on the
ship yeah i mean to be fair actually you don't
need the creation of it could just be the ship
leaving and Going to hell, I guess. But I genuinely
don't know what to think about it. I don't know
if it's a good idea or a bad idea. Well, aren't
they following another ship that's gone missing?
No, so that's Event Horizon. So Event Horizon,
they are following the original... Well, they're
not. What they're doing is they've picked up
all of a sudden the signal of the Event Horizon
that was thought to be lost. So the prequel will
be that ship then? So in theory, the prequel
is the ship that went to hell and came back.
Yeah. But again, I don't know if that's going
to be any good. It's going to be a, yeah. Because
the thing about Event Horizon, it's a good psychological
horror, I think. It's not, you know, it gets
fucking scary. It does. But it's not like demons
in your face, demons in your face, which is what,
which is like Doom the movie, which is what I
feel like that. would be. Well, this is the problem,
isn't it? Because also, if you're going for it
to being a genuine prequel and you're not going
to buff fuck about and try and change history,
there's no survivors. I guess if they're going
to rewrite it, the rewrite would be something
they knew all about, all the bad stuff. Do you
know what I mean? And he's making them go anyway
because he's the big bad guy. Well, yeah, I mean...
Again, for all we know. this prequel is going
to be exactly that. It's going to be, I know
this is going to send you to hell and you're
to tell us what you see on the other side. I
mean, really, you can make quite a good story
of that. We're folding space, which is how we
demonstrate. It folds a piece of paper and pushes
a pencil through it, if you remember in the Event
Horizon. And that's how all of us now understand
folding space. Exactly. However, you could just
say, oh, yes. But you're still passing between
these two points. But what's between those two
points? That's space in between. That's the hell
space. And that could be what this is. And it
turns out that's what they're exploring. And
maybe there's pre -missions they did where it
isn't all on hell. And the end of the prequel
will be... We're ready to go on the main mission
now, which is the one that goes all to shit.
I don't know. It could be interesting. I think
what we're going to end up with, though, is something
that's going to be full of technology that doesn't
match what we've got in the original film. It's
going to try way too hard to be scary. Yeah,
I'm really not sold on the idea. I think let's
leave things alone sometimes. But anyway, 1997,
Event Horizon. Looking forward to it. Command
functions are offline. That's it. Another one
