Godspeed, the whales are running. Godspeed, the
whales are running. Godspeed, the whales are
running early in the morning. Now that we've
been able to orbit Venus, we're a lot closer
to our ultimate goal, Mars. Well done, Parker.
Thank you, madam. Home, milady? Home. You've
done a lot of good, Sam Beckett. You can do a
lot more. Words will always retain their power.
and welcome to the Untitled Sci -Fi Show. I'm
Rob, that's Tom. Yeah, fair enough. You alright?
I do the same to you. I will allow it. You're
allowed to be silly here. Well, of course I am.
No, I'm all good, bud. How about you? Yeah, I'm
pretty good, actually. It's been very busy. Lots
of busy things going on, but alright, yeah. Yeah,
had a lot going on work -wise as well, and I
think I did quite well on what's coming up as
well with the guest intro. oh yeah it took a
little bit took a little bit but i got there
but uh well a few things to discuss in the normal
discussion bit which will probably drag on too
long that's what we've got we've got guest intro
we've got a little treaty treaty trekkie treaty
over here yeah we're gonna have a little chat
about what we're up to and then we're gonna speak
about starfleet academy oh what have you said
you on uh i've just watched one two and three
oh have i watched three yes because you told
me to watch the next two so we could talk about
it Did I watch it? That's the pranking one. Yes,
I did watch it. Because there's a fourth episode
out now. The fourth is out now. I have not watched
that one. I have no idea what the fourth episode
is about. Neither do I. By the time this is out,
there'll be five. Probably. So next episode,
we'll be confused again. Yeah, and then after
we've spoken about Arrival, or The Arrival. No,
no, The Arrival, not Arrival. Arrival is the
modern film with Amy Adams. the one with charlie
sheen in it yes and the weird legs oh yeah well
then we've got a little thing the going forward
when we instead of just lazily choosing what
we're gonna do something we've got a new little
game that we're gonna do every time which is
gonna choose for us that's fun anyway let's get
on with it enter authorization code guess the
intro is back How do you think you got on? Before
I press any buttons or anything, how do you think
we got on? I 100 % aced it. Yeah? Excluding the
one that I think I've got right by doing kind
of deduction. Well, the thing you said about
episodes, I'm not really that worried about.
Let's say, for an example, it was a Voyager episode.
You can just say Star Trek to me. We all fucking
know. Unless it's really obvious and I think,
no, that's not good enough, you can tell me.
Do you know what I mean? That's good enough.
Yeah, but the one that... The Star Wars one.
Yeah. I know there's a Star Wars one, but there
is multiple Star Wars series. You're saying Star
Wars is enough. Oh, shit. Okay, well... Because
you... As I said... The dogs are attacking. The
dogs are attacking. Because you're not a Star
Wars guy, I'll happily let you just say Star
Wars. Now, somebody did say the exact correct
answer. So... They might be in the VIP section
or the winner's lounge. Those of you that don't
know and for whatever reason you're starting
this terrible podcast at season three, you would
have heard at the start of the show, people watching
live, hello, by the way, this one's live on YouTube.
At the beginning of the episode, the theme tune,
but we also hide, hide, we put in six clips from
sci -fi or sci -fi adjacent. media so films tv
shows whatever games sometimes and this six are
very stretched they are i'm not sorry not stretched
they are a long way apart they are the most oh
yeah random selection of sci -fi i think you've
done to this day yes because i wanted to try
and do one of them i've done before but i was
trying to do ones i haven't done before that's
where it's getting difficult because i've got
quite a few of these now that i'm god link He's
trying to get under the table because that's
where he normally goes. He normally goes under
and then curls up on her feet. I'll tell you
what, I'll move this chair out of your way. Go
round. Great content. Go round, yeah. Sorry for
everyone. It's great for the people on camera.
They can't even see him either. The people on
camera can't see him and they're about to not
hear the six sounds either. Right, okay. Let's
just start. First one, the first one. Jehovah's
Witness. No, sir. Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Easy one. You cannot mistake Julian Hansen and...
Where are my shoes? Right in... The X -Files.
I think I accidentally told that first one to
be all of them. I think you did. Yeah, never
mind. X -Files. Yes, X -Files, yeah. I know I
did the obvious one last time, you know, where
Mulder meets... Scully meets Mulder for the first
time. That was what I did the first time I did
X -Files. Anyway, yeah, absolutely right. Next
one. Where are my shoes? Right in front of you,
dear, where they're supposed to be. That's the
Jetsons. It's the Jetsons, yeah. I haven't seen
the Jetsons in so long. And I can tell you the
only reason I know that was the Jetsons is because
a few years ago, my mother -in -law was asking,
what would you like for your birthday? And they
were cheap, so I asked her for the complete first
seasons of one and two of the Flintstones. Hanna
-Barbera. advert at the very beginning is jetsons
scooby -doo and then a few other of of the shows
now this may or may not be true but i chose the
jetsons because i heard a rumor they were making
a live action that they were making live action
or they were remaking the cartoon and jim carrey
had something to do with it oh again i thought
he'd retired several times later so he's retired
as in like he's not looking for work But if something
comes up like Sonic comes up that he actually
likes, he'll do. Fair enough, okay. By the way,
Sonic is fucking brilliant. The Sonic films are
brilliant. Now you finally saw them. Yeah, now
I've seen all of them multiple times now. Next.
Everyone in the order, new Anakin Skywalker.
So that is obviously Star Wars, Anakin Skywalker,
blah, blah, blah. I put it down as Ahsoka because
that's the only one I could think that we haven't
had a clip from yet. And this is when you tell
me, no, I have done a clip from it before. You're
correct that it's Ahsoka. And no, I don't think
I've done a clip of Ahsoka. Yeah, there you go.
Because I know you've done The Mandalorian. Yeah.
I know you've done... The Rogue One. Yeah. So
I thought the only other one that it could be,
excluding the films, is going to be something
like that. Yeah, I mean, I haven't seen Ashoka
at all. I don't know who that character is. I
know nothing about it. And it was really difficult
to find a clip that I might think anyone knows
because I haven't seen it. I don't know. So that's
just from the trailer. So you can hear all the
music in the background, which is a bit rubbish
anyway. Next. Whether it happens in a hundred
years or a thousand years or a million years,
eventually our sun will grow cold and go out.
And go out. Now. I don't know if you chose this
because, like me, your TikTok feed has started
kind of feeding in these. No. Oh, fine. Okay,
Babylon 5. Yeah, Babylon 5. I haven't watched
it for years. I remember when it first came out,
it was a Channel 4, if I remember rightly. I
watched a handful of them, but they were just
a bit too weird, along with Farscape. I loved
Farscape. I need to give it another try, but
I didn't give it enough time when I was younger.
I think I was just in my early teens when Farscape
came out, so women had appeared. Yeah, I do really
like Farscape. And the good thing about Farscape,
the two main characters that end up being in
Stargate, when they cancelled Farscape, the main
character and the love interest, who's also a
really fucking cool character, not just like
a woman, they ended up both being in Stargate.
Now, funnily enough, you're saying about Stargate...
Apparently this year recording for a Stargate
project in London. Yeah, another film. I think
they're rebooting the films. Oh, God damn it.
I think they're rebooting the films. You don't
need to reboot that film. It's a fucking brilliant
film. It's a great film. Hopefully it'll be on
the list. Should be. I don't think it is. Be
prepared. But we can always add some to the end.
The wife's just got home and Link's trying to
get out from under the table. My leg is stopping
him from knocking all of the camera equipment
over. Okay, right. So, yeah, you're right, Babylon
5. Next. Are you alone here? Oh, hardly. I've
got all these cats. It's funny you put this on,
because again, it's another one. I got it for
Christmas this year, Logan's Run. Logan's Run,
yeah. Have you ever seen it? Somebody edited
that clip, by the way, because it's quite a lot
longer than that. Yes, it's a lot longer. Have
you ever seen it? No. It's a weird -ass film.
I think that must be on the list. Again, if it
isn't, we'll add it to the list, because I've
got it on Blu -ray. It's a good film. I've watched
a lot of clips of it. It's of its time, and it's
long. Yeah. Oh, it's long. What's it even about?
basically everyone has a death day they have
a crystal in their hand and i've gone i think
it's even the simpson sounds like numbers might
be future armor future armor might rip the piss
out of it but when their crystal turns a certain
color they go and get executed because it's the
end of their life and they believe that they
go off to somewhere better and it's all because
this kind of post -apocalyptic lies that they're
all living in this perfect society but they can't
leave it right and then finally the main characters
one changes he actually i don't want to i want
to be a runner and there's a basically a police
force that chase after the runners and just it's
not a bad film i'm sure there's a film called
numbers or something with justin timberlake that's
similar he has a tattoo on his hands in time
in time is that what's called in time in time
start on my list um basically they all have they
stop aging at the age of 25 that's it um And
then their countdown. And basically you can trade,
you can win, you can buy time. But when your
clock finishes, you're gone, you're dead. Poof.
Right, last one. Nanu Nanu. That's Mork and Mindy.
Mork and Mindy, that's right. An easy one. Nanu
Nanu. So well done. You got them all right. Yay!
Hooray! Welcome to the Winners' Lounge. The bouncers
will let you in this time, as you didn't get
in at Christmas, did you? You've been out in
the cold. You've been out in the cold all this
time. Of course. Somebody did get them all right.
And they also did get the Star Wars one correct.
Would you like to know who it is? You can probably
guess. Is it... Hold on. No, no, no. Hold on.
You can't start naming people. I'm just going
to tell you. M or J? J. Oh, well done, James.
Well done, James. Goddy gosh, what's your Blue
Sky handle again? Because I'm supposed to be
doing shout -outs with people's Blue Sky handles,
aren't I, and stuff. He hasn't got Twitter. So
it was something, something, something at Blue
Sky. He's got a really weird one, isn't it? Jimbo.
Yeah. Okay, right. Super8az at Jimbo8e6. bsky
.social .com. That's the one. So Jimbo86, well
done, mate. You got all of them correct, even
though at first you didn't hear the more convenient
one at the end. I told you there's six, not five.
But well done, mate. He's a frequent flyer in
the winner's lounge. He's got his own section.
He's in the VIP at the moment. He's got special
access. Anyway, thanks, everyone. Thank you.
Let's have a look at this cool thing you've got
over here. Yeah. Right, you've brought along
a lovely little box. So Trekkie Trivia bought
in the British Heart Foundation for three of
the great British pounds. Woo! Content, 2 ,400
questions. One die, one pencil, one pen. One
of us has got a die? Yep. Oh my God! 2 ,400 questions.
I think I die of boredom. Well, let's get started,
everyone. What's the time? It's eight to ten.
We like Star Trek. But we don't like it that
much. Yeah, baby. We're not going to play by
the rules. Each player should take a scorecard.
The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 are a column down.
Already I want to know what this one is because
I've seen the answer. So. Oh, right. Okay. These
numbers correspond with the symbols. one is generations
two is one to beam up three it's life but oh
yeah four is stardate five is other frontiers
it makes sense when you singularities right i'm
gonna ask you just just as a as a warm -up i'm
gonna ask you well i think we won't play it properly
we'll just no no i'm just gonna give you a warm
-up uh but what's interesting is you look at
look at that box yeah it looks so crappy and
old and if you look at the brand on it it's a
paul lemon games and i remember seeing those
sort of things early 90s late 80s things like
the paul daniel magic set was the same company
i think so i was expecting this to be like the
next generation the original series and maybe
the original films but no it's all the way up
to voyager teens adult uh we're too old well
mentally i'm not so that's fine it does look
trekkie at the front It does, it does. I'm making
weird noises with this in the way of the... If
you're going to have a deck of cards, I'm going
to have a deck of cards. I just saw the answers
and I was like, okay, this one's Gen, whatever
Gen is. Generations. In Star Trek 4... Dr. Gillian
Taylor is an expert on what animals? Whales.
Yeah. Let me finish. I'll start it so I'll finish.
A couple of which were transported through time
with her. Yeah, quite right. Humpback whales
is the phalanx. Humpback whales, George and Gracie,
which we'll talk about when we talk about Starfleet
Academy. Yeah, of course. Right. Okay. I'm going
to do a beam. Oh, right. Actually, no. You're
not that a fae, are you, with the original series?
No. So that would be a bit of an unfair one.
Oh, God, yeah, you wouldn't get that one in a
million. Would you get that one? Oh, okay. No,
you've not seen much Deep Space Nine either.
No. I really like it, but I've not seen much
of it. Not enough to answer some Trek trivia
questions about it. Just the person who started
a Star Trek podcast doesn't really know very
much about Star Trek. So OnlyFans, OF, which
future Star Trek actor played the passenger in
the Twilight Zone episode Nightmare at 20 ,000
Feet? It's one of the two big names from the
original series, so I'll give you a 50 -50 on
that one. Loki, get down, please. He's on the
counter. Oi! What a cheeky dog. Which future
Star Trek actor played the passenger in the Twilight
Zone episode Nightmare at 20 ,000 Feet? He plays
one half of Neelix's character. No, original
series character, this one. That's why I said
it's one of two main characters. Because Tuvok's
in Next Generation, actually. Yeah, but this
is to do with the Twilight Zone. Oh, I don't
know. It was William Shatner. Oh. But didn't
he host the Twilight Zone? No. He was an actor
in it a couple of times before, and I think Twilight
Zone, if I remember correctly, and sorry, I made
a load of mess here, just tapping the microphone.
Sorry, Steve. Everyone there's got shut up, didn't
you? Pretty sure Twilight Zone was quite a few
years before Star Trek. And yeah, he played a
few characters in it. But anyway, yeah, that
was William Shatner. Oh, okay. I'll give you
one. I'll give you one. Oh, you'll like this
one. Beam. In the casting call for TNG, which
character is described as possessing intelligence,
personality, beauty, and the natural walk of
a striptease queen? Oh, God, that can't be Worf.
I wish it was. Oh, please don't tell me that's
Deanna Troi. No. Beverly Crusher? Beverly Crusher,
yeah. Would you say she's got the natural walk
of a striptease queen? Who knows? I would never
have thought of her in that way at all. I know
Picard does, but there you go. I'm just having
a quick look here. Ah, okay. Here you go. You
liked Voyager. Yeah, I loved Voyager. I'm not
going to know any trivia questions, but go for
it. Okay, so this is Star. In the Voyager episode,
Bliss... Seven and Naomi Wildman are the only
crew members not afflicted with witch delusion.
Oh, for fuck's sake. I don't know. Uh, cheese.
Uh. That they found a way home. It's the entire
episode where the crew, except for those two,
think that they found their way home. You know
what I see? When the person who sat here writing
this, you know the comic book guy from fucking
Simpsons? He sat there going... I wouldn't want
to be touching the cards that he originally wrote.
Let's put it that way. They got someone else
to do the prints, yeah. Okay, I'm going to give
you one more. So from Lightly Used, by the way,
Shatter was in two Twilight Zones. And you're
right. If that's Adam, you did give us that one
in the group chat the other day. That's the one
he said William Shatner was in and that we should
watch that one. He did say that. Sorry, Adam.
You're absolutely right. He did say that. Who
comes face to face with a 15 years older version
of himself in the Voyager episode Timeless? Ooh.
Full name or you don't get credit for this one.
Full name. I want his full name. As we know it.
Harry Kim? No, that's not his name. It is Harry
Kim. It's not his name, though, is it? He's annoyed
because I've got it right. What, his full name?
As we know him on this show. Oh. How dare? Oh,
good. What did we used to call him? Dirty Kim.
Dirty Kim. That was it. Dirty Kim, the sex pest.
Yes. But then again, if you look back at TNG,
Geordie was the sex pest. I wonder if Harry Kim
bought his book. It's like, right, my favourite
TNG actor. Right, yeah, I've got to base myself
on Geordie LaForge. Who would have been the sex
pest in Deep Space Nine? The Doctor was a sex
pest in Deep Space Nine. Yeah, the Doctor's the
sex pest. Which is not a good character to be
the sex pest. And the original series was William
Shatner. William Shatner. So who is it? So every
series has a sex pest. So who is it in? In Enterprise,
it's the Texan because he ends up pregnant, doesn't
he? No, not pregnant. He ends up infected or
something. He's the engineer. He's the engineer,
yeah. And then, what other series have we got?
We've got Strange New Worlds. Who's the sex best
in Strange New Worlds? It might be Spock. He's
the one shagging everyone. Yeah, you're right.
Yeah, yeah, it's Spock. In Discovery, it's no
one because you're not allowed to have sex. No,
it would have been Tilly. That's what she's like.
No, it would have been Tilly. Who would it have
been? Yeah, no, the only person who's... Who's
banging around in that is the captain lady and
the guy that she... Well, she has two boyfriends,
so that's the closest she could have. Yeah, fair
enough. No more sex pests. To be fair, even I
wouldn't be able to get half. This is where we
knew... This is what Paramount did to Star Trek.
They removed the sex pests. That's the massive
failure of Paramount and Star Trek. Yeah, fair...
Oh, my God, no. Even I wouldn't get half of fucking
these. I won't even get a quarter of them. Right,
okay. How well do you know the films? The original
series films. Let's find out. In which film is
Kirk reunited with his abandoned son? It's what
most people consider the best of them. Oh, it's
because the Bane guy plays him. No, I'm thinking
of the fucking... Jesus Christ. You're thinking
of the terrible Star Trek film. Oh, I don't know.
Nemesis. Number three. Wrath of Khan number two.
What, what? What, what? Okay. Well, we've proven
that we are definitely not a Trek podcast anymore.
We've never been a Trek podcast. Space might
give you the horn according to likely use. More
studies are needed. Gives me the horn, baby.
Every episode does have a sex pest in it. Every
series. Yeah, but as I said, Paramount have ruined
it now. There's no more sex pest. Who's the sex
pest in Lower Decks? All of them. Yeah, all of
them are fucking... That shower, that one where...
Is it the one where they're doing the exercise
with the VR system and everyone's just having
sex, aren't they? Oh, and they're all just banging.
Yeah, it's so good. Anyone who hasn't seen Lower
Decks, we've said it before, go fucking watch
Lower Decks. Oh, absolutely. Oh, my gosh. Star
Trekking across the Academyverse. Oh, dear. Okay.
Like it or not, episode two and three, because
the only thing you spoke, you hadn't seen two.
No, so I'd only seen number one and I'd come
away for it and we'd said... Spoilers, everybody.
We'd not been horrendously harsh about it, but
we'd said a couple of the characters we weren't
that fond of and the way the first episode was
done could have been chopped and changed. So
we didn't need to see all of Rebel Without Clues
kind of storyline. straight at the beginning
they could have chopped it in and it would have
made much more sense now you've seen episode
two when i made the comment about the character
that he could have come out to do you do you
see where i'm coming from now that girl that
should have been the person that moment when
they're in that that kind of courtyard yeah 100
so i you know i'm not gonna be a show i actually
really enjoy it I don't think it's as bad as
people are saying. I think people are on a hate
train for it. You've got the same problem with
any fandom right now, which is all of the diehard
fans are just review bombing it. This, and I
was thinking about this on the way over, and
the best way I can describe it is you had Prodigy,
which was an aim to get younger children into
Star Trek. It's not working with my son, by the
way. I can't even get him to turn it on. But
that's just the way it is. This is how to get
teenagers into Star Trek. Teenage girls. No,
I don't even think it's a teenager. I think that
there's a lot to it that is aimed purely at teenagers.
And I'm really enjoying it. I think it's actually
really pretty good now. The more I've watched
of it, the more I've kind of acclimatized to
the characters that are involved in it. Actually.
um oh sorry i should say it like one of those
horrible people like one of the actually it's
really out there no i'm really quite actually
getting into liking holly hunter's captain actually
i'm actually quite enjoying the idea that she's
only come back because of the children and the
fact that so episode three introduces this well
should we do episode two and then i just do it
all together just make sure that they've introduced
the fact that Starfleet Academy really is this
brand new thing with only a couple of hundred
cadets in it and what's still running is the
War Academy yeah and I love that idea that actually
since the burn and everything's gone wrong and
they're still trying to work out how to protect
themselves and make sure that they are protected
that they just have a school dedicated to war
and actually she's just had enough of it and
she's had her 200 years that she's been alive
and she's like you know what fuck this I'm just
400 so i'm just really fucking chilled out now
i don't really care about this and i care about
the kids and making sure they get through this
and that we actually start building relationships
with me rather than killing everyone i think
which is what it had become i get that vibe from
her that yeah she's so old now she's just like
gone past that kind of normal kind of things
like she's like look none of this is worth it
when you when you see it all from what i've seen
just just trust me none of this is worth it just
i just there's the things But this isn't the
Star Trek I wanted. Does it mean that I dislike
it? No, I actually don't mind it. I'm liking
it more than I liked Discovery for the first
three seasons. 100%. It's already been Discovery
in my books. Which means it's not the worst Star
Trek around. No. It's just, you know, the kids,
it's got this Twilight element to it that I don't
like. And I'm never going to get over that. And
it's just like, they are the biggest... group
of clever dumb people do you know what i mean
like just fucking they sew up their own fucking
arses and like as if those characters would act
like that so that's what i get in my head like
even like this is the problem isn't it no none
of them until funny enough none of them till
episode three so episode one and two none of
them were given redeeming features no none of
them um fish boy which i can't think of his name
yeah i find him really annoying i think he's
annoying but now they've given him some semblance
of um exposition so he's basically meant to be
the top of everything because that's what his
family demand of him yeah and the fact that their
family aren't even reading his messages that
he sends back daily for them It's quite a heartbreaking
thing, especially when you've got kids, you think,
oh my God. It needed, he needed that. That character
needed that because it was just too unlikable.
To give up the captaincy for that third episode
was perfect. Yes. He absolutely needed that because
it's grounded him and it's now given him a story
arc that actually I can vaguely care about. Lithe,
I really like her. I think she's a really good
character. Fucking hell, which one's that? The
one with the weird eyebrows. One with a weird
eye. No, I liked her the whole time. Yeah, she's
been solid since episode one, actually, because
she seems to be the perfect mix of trying to...
It's not the only thing solid. Oh, dear. No,
I'd go for the Betasoid girl. Gluing the two
sides together. She's right bang in the middle.
She's kind of merging the two main male characters.
Yeah, yeah. And kind of helping kind of bridge
them, I guess. The Batesoid storyline, really
solid. Quite like the idea of it. You could see
exactly where it was going. As soon as she like...
raised her eyebrows at him you knew it's going
to end up in she'll get in trouble there'll be
this whole thing and it's almost like there's
a south park episode where two homeschool kids
appear in south park and they beg to be sent
to the normal school yeah and then they both
completely change what sort of character is an
exact mirror of that but what i will say about
episode two if there was an episode of star trek
that's been done as fan service fuck me this
is the episode yeah everything's named after
characters so you've got the um tree which is
named after the caretaker that picard tells wesley
crusher to go boothy to go and it may even be
the park that's named after him i'll go and see
booth bbc looks like blah blah blah you then
got um got the wall of fame yeah the wall of
fame in episode one but then you've got the kirk
whatever room it was the turner room whichever
it was um they go and see the whales and the
two humpback whales I'm surprised they just didn't
go full on, that's George and Gracie, by the
way. We've named them after the first two that
were rescued by Captain Kirk and Leonard. I'm
surprised they really didn't do that. My favorite
part of episode two, though, and it did actually
make me crease up, when... she walks out when
she walks off from the park when they've just
first met and he's climbing the fence and the
two security people beam in yeah where are you
going over there borg yeah and they still turn
and they're gonna go for it that's brilliant
even after the burn the borg are still the threat
i i was surprised there's a bit that in episode
three that normally so this might get me in trouble
i would groan i'll just go oh here we go but
it was with my two favorite characters okay to
the woman who i don't but i don't know either
of their names the woman who's in discovery the
science lady sure he's just wicked i can't think
of her name in it but yeah and the klingon cross
other woman oh yeah who are in a relationship
together yes and it was that interaction we were
having dinners we were having to duck and now
we're not having to duck yes just oh we'll take
you out for dinner it's fine we're having we're
going to french yeah i want this yeah they couldn't
have put the two perfect characters together
for comedy gold in a relationship it was brilliant
because they're so polar opposite in every way
like they shouldn't be in a relationship it was
absolutely The dialogue for that scene was perfect.
And it was so well bounced off each other. It
was just so good. Because it kind of made the
Klingon lady a bit pouty in her kind of... Yeah,
she's stomping her feet. Like a little toddler,
kind of. Whereas all the times before, she just
came across as just being a really loud and angry
Klingon. But yeah, this same energy, but actually
paired against the Tig character, yeah, was a
bit like a toddler having a tantrum. Yeah. You
weren't there, Daddy. Why were you not there,
Daddy? We've been there. Oh, I want macaroni
cheese, Daddy. Now, going back to episode two.
I doubt it is, but did you spot the Red Dwarf
reference? No. Maybe at the time. He's in the
office getting told off by Holly Hunter, the
rebel without a clue. I've forgotten what his
name is. Jacob? Jed? Jed? Jed? We'll stick with
Barry. And he's getting told off and he's like,
I'm not here for this. I've got to get that replicator
fixed as well. The soup was cold. And she turns
around and says, it was gazpacho. It's meant
to be so. That is Red Dwarf. I do wonder if that's
a whole because of Rimmer bringing him his piping
hot bowl of gazpacho soup and it's meant to be
served cold. So I do wonder if that was a little
throwback to that one. Because as if they're
still eating gazpacho soup. So episode three,
are they Vulcans? Are they Romulans? Is that
a Vulcan and a Romulan in the War Academy? Because
if they are, they're certainly letting their
emotions go. Yeah, I think one of them is certainly,
the boy's a Vulcan. Yeah, and he's a bit more
held back. She's a lot more fiery, so I'm guessing
she's a Romulan. Yeah, I think he was a Vulcan
because he did... He was still being an asshole,
but it was like logical assholery. Yes. Because
in his head, he's like, no, this is a great chance
for me to try and manipulate these people or
whatever. Whereas her, she was just being a bitch.
Yep. Which seems pretty Romulan to me. Yeah,
absolutely. Based on the TNG Romulans. I like
the human that was with them. The human lad.
When they threw them on the stairs talking to
the Klingon, which was a very funny scene. Yeah.
When he's trying to do jokes. I heard a Klingon
joke the other day. I must share with you. Oh
God, what was the joke? Because it was so funny.
Because the end of it was like, they don't say
that, they scream. Wait, there is something in
my... They're screaming. It's such a weird one.
It was actually a very funny joke. I almost thought,
calling it now, there's going to be a love interest
between that lad and that Klingon. It already
is. I think it's episode four. Oh, okay. Why
is the hologram character exercising? I don't
know. They certainly used her as a hologram when
she needed to get shot. Yeah, they used her as
a hologram then. And then what made me laugh
as well is, Why have you custom made her her
own jacket? Surely if she's a hologram, you just
program it. Oh, fuck those. Anyway. Yeah, the
hologram bit is, that's my thing that I still
think is the down point of it, is that character
is basically, you're just going to use it all.
The Doctor was amazing with his singing, by the
way. Love that. Yeah, he's great. I just want
to... uh kind of apologize to the actress who
does play the hologram whereas before i just
kind of thought as oh she's the the chubby character
over there actually she's not she's a fucking
unit as oh yeah unit as in muscly oh yeah she's
like clearly does like some kind of they're all
fucking muscly clearly she does like some kind
of um deadlifts and stuff like that just looking
at her shape because when she was in the outfit
for that it's like she's like a triangle Yeah.
And because they only ever show the top half
of her, she just looks like this kind of stubby
little... No, she's not. No, no, no. So good
on her. But yeah, she's the Tilly. She's the
Tilly of Starfleet Academy and I can't stand
her. It's annoying. It's not the actress's fault.
No, it's not. Not that she's ever going to listen
to this. It's the character and how the character's
been written annoyingly. Yeah, she's probably
doing it exactly how they ask. Anyway, we've
spoken enough about this. I think it is good.
Yeah, I agree. It's not rubbish. I would like
it to be different. I would like it to be better.
But I'm watching it and I'm going to watch it
to the end. Yeah, I am. And it's been scheduled
for series two. So obviously the negative reviews
are just review bombs. Yeah. Well, as we said
last time, Stranger News is going to go to five.
I think this will do two and then that'll be
it. Probably. But give it a try. Come on then.
Apart from the obvious thing that I know you've
been up to, which we'll get to at the end because
we're both going to talk about it. What have
you been doing? uh right let's see uh come on
k and jem and i partly joined in uh k has now
watched all the hunger games films not the prequels
uh but she is going to watch that because she
wants to see the new one at the cinema this summer
um k did the typical teenage child thing which
is i'm not watching i'm not interested and then
just looked at her tablet looked up Tablet, looked
up, tablet, tablet got turned off, and now she's
claimed it's her favourite all -time film. She's
watched through it twice now. Nice. And she's
said already, that's my Halloween costume for
this year. Oh, wicked. So it's pretty ingrained
in her, but Gem's just started her on Twilight,
so I'm definitely not joining in on that one.
Twilight doesn't get quote -unquote good until
the last two. And there's a half... slightly
resembles a good scene where they all fight.
That's it. Yeah. That's it. The rest of it is
trash. I think the only reason you could possibly
even get me to watch it is because Michael Sheen's
in it. And I think he doesn't turn up to the
last couple of films, like you say. I don't know
how often he's in it. No, I think he might be
in it very briefly before because he's in charge
of the vampire court. Right, okay. So I think
he might be in and about. Fine, okay. I'll stick
with watching Passengers where he's just a bartender.
Otherwise, I can't remember if I told... He's
a bartender in something else too, by the way.
Probably. A robot bartender in another thing.
Oh. I think he's in... He's typecast then. Yeah,
I think he's a robot bartender in Altered Carbon.
Right. Maybe not. Someone can correct me on that.
Adam, correct me. Can't remember if I've said
I've seen this, but 28 years later, The Bone
Temple, I did a few weeks ago. I can't remember
if we said it on the show, so I'm not going to
go into that. We did, because we spoke about
the thing, the zombie with a massive cock. There
we go. Yes, we did. Saw Iron Lung at the cinema.
Yes. Now, I had no idea what the game was about,
so I went into it completely blind. Now... are
you looking forward to seeing it or are you planning
on seeing it? Yeah, I plan on seeing it. Fine,
so I won't do any spoilers. All I can say is
from the discussion that I had with Sudo who
came with me to see it. Yeah, what did they think?
They enjoyed it as well. But what they've said
is the game got an expansion called Lore, which
basically expanded on the story. you you get
thrown into the film immediately with maybe 60
seconds of speech explaining what's kind of not
even what's going on just this has happened and
then it is basically the game from what i've
kind of an expansion on the game very little
more to do with the story in it and for me i
enjoyed the film but i would have loved to have
had maybe 10 minutes of just maybe seeing that
the silent um what did they call it the silent
uh oh shit i can't remember what what do they
call it when the christians believe when everyone
gets is it the reap uh reaped no uh oh well when
everyone gets sent off to heaven when everyone
gets sucked up into the sky to burn oh I know,
my brain's gone completely... Yeah, the rapture.
The silent rapture is what they call it in Ireland.
I would have liked 10 minutes of seeing that
and then seeing the ships floating around looking
at these desolate moons fighting and scrapping
and whatever. You don't get that. But it's not
bad. I enjoyed it. I watched Markiplier talk
about it yesterday because he wrote it, he financed
it, he directed it, he acted in it. I think he
did a lot of the 3D graphics himself. uh he put
a lot of money into it um he's done things like
so he could only afford i think to have it in
cinemas for one weekend that's it yeah it was
all self -funded and a lot of the things in america
he comped all of the food for people in some
of the cinemas so if you went somewhere to see
it you didn't have to pay for any of the food
he comped it all because he was trying to get
people to go and the bad thing for him i feel
very sorry for him he's getting fucked over by
hollywood he was the number one selling film
that weekend yep but That other film came out
that weekend as well. That horror film. It's
not called Get Out. It's called like She Something
or whatever. And you look up Iron DB. It's the
top film here at the moment. Basically, they've
taken him off the charts. So certain charts you'll
go and you'll see his film number one. Yeah.
But some of the other main charts aren't listing
him at all. His film at all as being on the charts.
no it's uh return to silent hell no that's apparently
trash no it's oh my gosh i'm not gonna be able
to cut this because send help oh no that's not
being that's tv that is send help isn't it oh
maybe it's send help then yeah i think it's send
help because that only just came out yeah either
way i know it deserves a lot more love than it
got i really really but he was very like he was
crying in the video i think because he's just
like you know for a for a moment even if it was
just one day i know that i was the number one
film in america yeah and i think that is wicked
yeah no absolutely and it deserves it it was
an enjoyable film um i'm glad it's not rubbish
no it's not i will warn you that if you're not
the sort of person that can enjoy watching a
film that is one person on screen and one person
on his own uh with only the voices of other people
i like it i think i think i'd have a problem
with that well it's a bit um tom hanks and the
whatever it is cast away you're on your own sort
of thing and you know yeah it's i enjoyed it
i could have done with a bit more story to it
maybe a bit more exposition but i know i enjoyed
it it was good um otherwise the only other bits
i've got really to talk about are uh i re -watched
the disney terrible sci -fi film that's really
dark called the black hole um it's great sci
-fi but it's trash as well uh and then talking
about trash Smallville is on Netflix. So I thought,
you know what? Oh, don't fucking get me started
on Smallville. I haven't watched it since I was,
when it first came out. I'll give this a try.
I've watched the first two episodes. Oh, this
is bad. Miranda is watching it now. It's on Netflix.
This would be the third time or fourth time she's
watched the entire series all the way through.
Just don't get me started. I think the show isn't
good until the very last series. And even then,
I'll only look over my shoulder at it. Yeah,
but maybe it's because I know the end is near.
Do you know what I mean? um obviously what we
were talking about uh the other one though is
goat simulator being still playing t is obsessed
with it after nursery he has to play it we have
to play it almost every day um and we've got
all the trophies like used pod somebody save
me yeah um we've got all the trophies we've done
all the car ramps we've done all the events we've
done all the quests we have 100 percent of that
game how dude how can you there's so now on the
dlc there's so much to do we're now on the dlc
and the dlc we got we decided to do the multiverse
of whatever it's called oh god and the first
five minutes of it so he's like i don't like
this daddy because it's literally just a cut
scene and it's the train from half -life that's
it's the train and you're seeing all these weird
things going on around and then the first five
minutes of gameplay yeah is you going down to
the test bed and you're pushing it in into the
same machine exactly the same scientist you get
a little um they call it the get the hev suit
so you get your own goat one yeah and then this
multiverse and it's really weird so there's this
comic world where everyone is a cartoon that
looks like um disney and there's a giant um scrooge
mcduck style house which you one of the challenges
you get up to the top you jump in and it's just
full of gold like in um duck tales and when you
do you jump in and it's like broken every bone
challenge and then you get given a net brace
and your body's all in bandages um but then there's
like a entire greek one a greek part of the city
there's a cowboy part of the city uh there's
a normal city that everyone's human but goats
so is it it's a complete it's two player you're
playing you can have up to four players so you
have a goat each yeah you and it's it's split
screen oh right so we play it split screens you
and t could play split screen but you could actually
join our game we could do four player goat simulator
maybe we'll have to try that so you don't have
to stay near each other you can go off is that
what you do you just let him one off well he's
obsessed with having to be wherever i am which
is just how he is and then yeah he kind of constantly
headbutts me but as i've unlocked everything
um in the main game his favorite is the firework
launcher because he says i'm sending them all
to space and you fire it into someone you just
see them disappearing up into the sky and explode
into fireworks he's quite good at moving the
character around not bad now first few days when
he was playing it he really got the ass with
it but no he's worked it out now i've given the
smaller controller the controller helps yeah
my tea can't figure out the camera controls so
he plays spider -man one on the ps5 yeah he just
swings around he loves going oh daddy look look
here's the avengers and he comes at the avengers
he can do all the swinging can do all the moves
and stuff but he can't he hasn't figured out
the camera how to wiggle the camera around that's
what he struggles with yeah i mean that's what
t does he sorts out the camera then moves around
then changes the camera then moves around he'll
get there he'll get there So we won't talk about
Hytale just yet. No, but that's me. That is me.
So we'll hand over to you now. Let's move this
on. What have you been up to, Rob? Because of
something that we're about to talk about has
taken over my life completely. From the last
time that we recorded, I've started watching...
Jeez, I've instantly forgotten. It's fucking
cool. Useless. Landman. Yeah, I'm really tempted
by watching it because I non -stop stop getting
clips of it on TikTok. Yeah. And I like Billy
Bob Thornton. Yeah, and Ali Lata, isn't it? Oh,
God. I tried to watch Tulsa King or whatever
it was called, which was the Sylvester Stallone
one. Yeah, I've not tried that yet. Didn't get
on with it. Didn't get on with it. Not my cup
of tea, I'm afraid. But yeah, it is really good.
I think I'm on episode four now. It's great.
kind of having it on the background whilst doing
other things. So I'm not really sat there watching
it. But it's kind of one of those things that
you can move, look at it, go away. When there's
a bit too much exposition for what I'm in the
mood for right now, I can do other things. Normally
because I'm playing Hytale. And that's pretty
much all I've done. That's it. Other than I have
update on the USS Sitjo. You've read the script
that I've got so far. It does exist. I'm not
lying. Yeah, there is one coming soon. I have
written something and it's been briefly looked
at. So that will come soon. Will Trek Relay ever
make a comeback? Oh, fuck no. You only remember
that because I mentioned it. Probably not at
the moment because I just don't have the time
or the energy to. No, I agree. There's too much.
So if people didn't watch the Trek show. when
this was called the Untitled Trek Show, the idea
was Trek Roulette was going to be, you had a
website, SideQuest Mark made a site for it and
everything. Spreadsheet, yeah. Yeah, you press
this button, it generates characters from Star
Trek, a series to use, and then a plot point,
and then a antagonist, random antagonist. And
you had to, a guest would then write. a comedy
sketch with all those things using my character
your character and another character for them
to act out and here's the cat uh and so they
would you know they'd come and we'd talk about
it we'd generate it and then a week later they'd
come back it just never happened because it's
i've got to edit the whole fucking thing i just
you know i've got time at the moment so maybe
one day that will appear but anyway that's a
complete side note um yeah so We can talk about
it now. We've both been playing along with Mark
Hytale. Yes. And if people don't know what Hytale
is, if you've ever played Minecraft, imagine
that. But better. But more. I think that's the
right thing to say. It's more. Minecraft Plus.
People call it Minecraft 2. Yeah. So what is
Hytale? It's made by the people who made a mod
for Minecraft, which is called Hytale. It had
a server. It apparently is the most popular server,
like private server that... was on minecraft
ever that guy made a shitload of money for it
um and they decided they were going to make their
own game which they started doing after a couple
years development they were then brought by riot
games and then it spent the next six years in
development hell to which point all the original
people either got pushed out or fired and then
a company i don't think it was netease or 10
10 cent or someone someone like that brought
riot and Hytale was one of the games they cancelled.
So what happened then was this guy, I wouldn't
say his name's Simon. I think that's what his
name is. He went to Riot and said, can I buy
it back? And they said, all right, 25 million
pound later, he brought it back again. And then
he rolled it all the way back to before Riot
brought it. Because apparently it was going in
a direction he didn't want it to go anyway. And
then after two weeks of having it, released it.
So he basically rolled it all the way back, fixed
it. released it and he's made all his money back
already and he's hired all the original staff
back and all the people making these mods that
we've been using loads of yeah they're all getting
hired to be full -time staff members so it's
um pre -alpha at the moment yeah and it's about
23 if you just want the basic version with no
additional skins obviously if you want to support
the projects if you pay more you're getting skins
which really are pointless they should be pennies
really but that money is going towards development
costs so if you you want to dedicate that much
to it yeah go for it but um you introduced me
to it and i looked at on your screen that doesn't
look really nice i mean the fact that you've
got things like proper furniture which minecraft
still hasn't done um and bits and pieces like
that so for those of you that like the creative
side of it building a house and everything like
that this is the game for you but even the adventuring
side of it and we've chatted online when we've
been playing it um i believe you said the random
generation of the mines and the dungeons is like
nothing we have ever seen yeah it's not like
the minecraft ones where you might get a long
strip of mine train and a couple of little kind
of bits and pieces left and right off it you
get fully featured dungeons and even on the top
of the world we're not underground you get entire
civilizations built proper villages that are
functioning houses that are different each time
we found a shipyard the other day yeah which
we just weren't expecting well i was just walking
through the wilderness and then found kind of
like this kind of like basically a big hole in
the ground with a waterfall going into it so
i followed it down And at the bottom of it was
this really fancy looking kind of door. I opened
it and it was basically a wizard's hideaway with
books all over the walls and chandeliers and
like loads of stuff. And it was like potions
everywhere. Clearly it was like a wizard's hideout
underground. It's like just walking in the forest.
But so if anyone's ever played a lot of Minecraft
and remember when they brought out, it might've
been the bedrock version of it, which is when
they brought in like the caverns. So the big
splits in the ground and that. when it came out
of minecraft was like oh my god this is incredible
this is what it always should have been that's
what this is constantly you get those moments
constantly mark and i spent like what an hour
in a really well well made proper dungeon the
other day um in something that you would think
was handcrafted but it's not it's auto -generated
it had like prison cells with mobs in it like
like spiders that these people have already captured
yeah hidden like after a while we realized that
certain platforms you could destroy there's hidden
chests filled with actually useful stuff um bosses
like enemies waiting for you and hiding and things
loads of stuff and to be fair to it as well a
bit unlike again this is unlike minecraft where
minecraft you walk around the corner oh shit
it's creeper bang boom dead yeah this feels like
if you die you don't feel like you've been unfairly
treated you feel like no i had every chance to
turn and run or fight and i've just done this
badly you can beat really difficult enemies if
you're careful with your blocking yeah be patient
just whip down and move yeah and move around
in minecraft it's like you will win as long as
you've got the better armor that's it If you
come up against a difficult enemy and you don't
have potions, you're dead. Yeah, 100%. In this,
as long as you've got a shield and a sword and
you can block, you can probably kill it. Although,
no, saying that, now we've expanded out and walked
out into the other areas. You've got to have...
So your main carrying should always be, yeah,
a sword, a bow... Yeah, you need a bow. ...a
shield and a pickaxe. And the bow is because
there are characters in it. as you expand out,
they don't come down within striking distance.
Yeah. So your only way of getting in. And those
ones you cannot get away from easily. Yeah. It's...
Considering how much is in it now... There's
a lot going on. I mean, yeah, they have got stuff
to work on. The farming, something that I really
like to do is very bare bones. You put it down,
you water it, and literally within five minutes,
you've got it fully grown. The animal husbandry
as well. Doesn't exist. We just go off screen,
come back, and suddenly all the animals are gone.
Yeah, so that's almost pointless. But they have
said they are working on all of that, so it is
coming. When I think about what, because I had
Minecraft in alpha. I paid $9 .99 for it, and
it was basically just creative mode. Yeah. You
had nothing to do. And just placing blocks and
building square things. So when you think that
alpha can go to this alpha, what a completely
different game. Well, this is pre -alpha. Pre
-alpha, is it? Pre -alpha. Yeah. Well, I mean,
what we're getting at is it's fucking brilliant.
It is. And, you know, we're all completely addicted.
And I was saying, like, oh, why don't we pay
for a server? Yeah. I think the best I could,
the cheapest I could get it was £8, and it could
take four of us. four gigabyte ram is what they
were offering me and not very much it's like
oh you know split three ways whatever and then
i told you and they were like no hold my beer
hold my beer two hours later we had our own personally
hosted server by the end of that evening we had
an ai built server management portal that shows
us everything we did and we can all manually
upload mod files and edit the mod files and how
much ram do you give you 16 24 gig of ram which
is what they say is for multi -public server
of 25 up to 75 people it's funny because i'm
playing it it doesn't feel like i'm online we
just there's no lag none none when all three
of us have been up we've had one issue where
the map stopped working haven't we but that was
the mods fault Which we think, yeah, was the
mod. It is the mod. It's on the list of bugs
with the mod. But we've never... Oh, where did
Rob go? He was right next to me and suddenly
he's disappeared. We've had a couple of crashes.
I've had a couple of crashes. I've had the odd
crash, but I did one playing single player too.
Precisely. So I don't think it's... It's just
very good. Absolutely worth playing. If you like
Minecraft, if you like a creative game like that,
get on board with it. I'm still playing Tainted
Grail, Fall of Avalon, in between. i tell but
hotel has kind of taken over a bit uh and t has
been playing on my 3ds he's been playing dimension
2 on the 3ds which he plays the i've got the
switch Have I got the Switch version? I've got
it on my Steam Deck. Yeah, okay. And that's the
remastered version. Yeah, you see, I've never
played it. Yeah, they're different. I've played
the original. I had it and I never played it.
I played the original on GameCube because I had
my original game and loved it. Completed it within
a few days. Loved every minute of it. Yeah. I
never got around to doing number two, though.
And I really feel like I should do because if
it's as good as the first... Yeah. Well, he's
really amazed. The 3DS is out because I was sorting
something out for Chris with his 3DS. So now
he has a 3DS like mine. And he is amazed at the
fact that he can close the lid and come back
to it, an open lid, and it's just there. The
3D thing, he turns on and turns it off. I don't
think he thinks it's fun, but like me, it probably
gives him a headache. It's weird. You have to
look at it the exact right angle. When I got
a... 3ds i didn't i bought the 2ds specifically
just so i the flat one uh i had the wedge one
and then i got the 2ds xl which was having that
yeah yeah then i got the proper 2ds xl which
i bought cheap from a charity shop i think and
uh yeah i that was brilliant no 3d slider no
messing about with it huge screen on it there's
no games that really need it or need it at all
but the it's a gimmick yeah And it is cool, but
I always turn it off anyway with battery life
anyway. I get a headache from it. So if I ever
did have it on, it'd be the first notch above
being off, basically. But the new 3DS XL, which
is what I have, the last one they made, is going
for the same price now, secondhand, as it was
new. They're exploding because of people doing
things to them and stuff. And it's very easy.
You know, everyone where I stand, I don't want
to get myself doxxed and in trouble here from
Nintendo or on YouTube. But, you know, it's a
very popular console. Every game on it runs great.
Tiny little handheld fits in everyone's hands.
No one gets hands cramps. Yeah. What a great
console. If you've got one, keep it. Do not let
it die. You know, you can change the battery
and then take the back off. You can just take
the battery out and put a new one in. Deserve
far more love than Microsoft, than Nintendo gave
it. Yeah, I don't think it did as well as the
DS did. No. My mum didn't have a 3DS, but she
had a DS. The DS. Everyone had a DS. The DS was,
yeah, it just exploded like the Wii, didn't it?
Yeah. And then the 3DS, as I said, it was a gimmick,
and people just looked at it and went, no, no
thanks. Right, anyway, we should probably get
on with this. Accessing library computer data.
V. The Arrival, 1996, rated 12, one hour, 55
minutes, starring Tiger Blood himself, Charlie
Sheen. Yep. Zane, an astronomer, discovers intelligent
alien life, but the aliens are keeping a deadly
secret and will do anything to stop Zane from
learning it. uh that's the blurb for it uh there's
a few big names in it uh richard schiff is the
one yep that um he's in everything yeah he was
here he's dr emile in man of steel he's lost
world he's eddie he was in the west wing he was
in so he is in absolutely everything and you
kind of feel bad for his character because he
really is just like beaten in this this film
another guy leon uh what's his name Leon Rippey.
He's in a lot of stuff. He's like in The Blacklist.
He's in... Oh, sugar. I just looked at him. Yeah,
he's in The Patriot, Deadwood, Stargate. Yeah.
Again, like Under the Dome. You probably wouldn't
know his name. No. But if you looked at a picture
of him, you know who he was. And it's the same
with the main bad character, Ron Silver, who
played Gordian in this. Yeah. You'd recognise
his face. You wouldn't recognise the name. And
I mean... Geez, one of his known -for films on
IMDb, Time Cop. Oh, yeah, it's the first one
there. Yeah, exactly. Shit, that's with Jean
-Claude Van Damme. Jean -Claude Van Damme, yeah.
Yeah, little Johnny. It's... Yeah, it's... 6
.2, that's unfair. I think it's very unfair that
it gets 6 .2 on IMDb. It's... Not a comedy. So,
as I said, when you first see it's Charlie Sheen,
you immediately think Hot Shots, Two and a Half
Men, Hot Shots Part Deux. It unloads. There's
a film where he plays a garbage man. I can't
think of what it's called. But most of his films
are comedy films. So you just got to expect,
oh, it's going to be some sort of spoof funny
alien film. And then you watch it and it's like,
no, this is actually deadly serious. Yeah. it's
a good film it's a great opening and yeah well
i was still high on the hightail addiction and
i was like i'm gonna have hightail on and watch
this at the same time you do i had to keep stopping
hightail because like no i want to watch this
bit i want to get i was i was actually engrossed
in it you know in some of these films we've watched
i've been bored whereas this one i was not bored
at any points because i do like a slow burner
and this is 35 minutes of slow burn of you know
it is building it up and kind of making you give
a shit about you get excitement within five minutes
within the first five minutes you get it's a
great intro brilliant excitement yeah well okay
yeah the very beginning of the film a character
who doesn't stay alive very long no and doesn't
get that much screen time is stood in this beautiful
poppy field and for the era we'll say for the
era um yeah it zooms out to reveal that she's
in the middle of the antarctic the antarctic
or arctic and yeah and she's like this shouldn't
be here and then you go into this news report
going on about the summer's the hottest it's
ever been and this is really weird for this this
time going and then um yeah and then we're in
the radar not the radar the the giant satellite
the radio satellite dish that charlie sheen works
in zane works in and yeah they capture this signal
and it's just actually feels really good yeah
and the more i've watched so this is the third
time i've watched this film now and the more
i watch it the more i realize as much as yes
the cgi is ropey but it's 96 we'll give it Give
it credit for that, even though Independence
Day literally came out that year or the year
after. There are some scenes that are better
than others in the CGI. Some of the green screening
is ropey. But the story is really, really good.
He's got the most 90s haircut. Oh my God, doesn't
he? I like the twist in it. There's a good twist
to it. And I've lost my train of thought about
what I was going to say. Well done me. Yeah,
it's because I interrupted you by talking about
haircuts. Oh, what was I going to say? I genuinely
can't remember. We need to keep talking and it
will come back to me, no doubt. But ultimately,
oh, that was, I know what I was going to say
now. Yeah, I've watched it a third time. You
can't help but think. If you squeezed it down
to a 45 minute episode and replaced, almost keep
that story going. Imagine if you could kind of
run that film, but then film a TV series about
two FBI agents looking into something weird going
on. It felt very X -Files. Yeah. The actual film
itself, there's a lot that... Well done, Kat.
If you heard that... The podcast guys will be
hearing this. If you're doing it again, yeah,
stop it. I can't help but think, yeah, it felt
really X -Files. There's parts of it that you
could imagine. Actually, even the filming style
felt like the X -Files. I know that's atypical
for the era. It may have even been the same filming
crews that they used for it. But it could have
made a great X -Files story. Yeah. of, oh, these
aliens are here and they're trying to... You
could just imagine it. But at the same time,
you could actually have made a good series out
of it. You could have, like, egged it on and
been, like, trip -feed little bits. Yeah, I could
imagine Ice Cube being Zane. Oh, no. Could you
imagine him as an animal? Just sat in his room
doing a webcam video for it. Oh, no. Yeah, right.
Well, now we know there's the Arrival 2. The
Arrival 3 will be having it. Right, breakdown
of the story, because as much as I gave you the
blurb, the blurb doesn't really help much. So
Zane is a radio satellite operator for NASA JPL.
They discover a signal which is non -repeating
and from Wolf 353, I think I want to say what
it is. Runs over to Jet Propulsion Lab to his
boss. His boss goes, oh, I'll give it a listen.
I'll send it to the boys upstairs. Oh, by the
way, Zane, can you come in my office? Yeah, you're
fired. We've got budget cuts. Zane then finds
out that actually the cassette was never given
to anyone and it's all seeming to be covered
up. So he phones his mate who hasn't been fired,
who's still at the radio satellite. Can I have
the backup? But Department of Justice is allegedly
there. He gives up the backup. So screw that.
and he ends up working as a satellite repair
person. No, he's pretending to be a satellite
repair person. Yeah, so I think telecommunications,
or he's working for Sierra Satellites. But I
thought he was pretending to because he wanted
to get hold of the satellites. No, I think he's
generally working in phones and satellite, but
then that's when he starts changing uniforms
and stuff. So the next bit is he then realises,
well, why don't I utilise all the satellites
I've seen around the neighbourhood? and build
a phased array as he calls it and that's actually
quite a good storyline as i've built getting
all these satellites and basically using them
at night when no one's aware up in his loft and
he's looking out for this signal which he finally
catches just after he's caught a young boy spying
on him kiki kiki uh more about him later That
then leads him off to Mexico where he meets our
woman from the very beginning of the film who's
trying to work out why the heat's going up out
there and it turns out that it's this new power
station that's been built and it's letting off
all these weird emissions and he eventually sneaks
in there and he finds out that they're all aliens.
Essentially, yeah. All the while people are trying
to kill him. and he doesn't really know the aliens
are trying to kill him but he doesn't know they
were aliens until that point yeah uh and they're
trying to terraform the planet yeah they then
set him up for murder he then escapes back to
america confronts gordian who was his boss who
turns out to be an alien as well um he then gets
the evidence of that and threatens to show it
to the world ends up back at the radio satellite
and we've got this whole thing of um oh have
they caught him oh no he's managed to kill them
and sort it all out at the end uh and that's
kind of how it ends and he ends with him broadcasting
the video of this evidence he's got and you're
kind of which is not good enough evidence by
the way no nowhere near and you're led to believe
that he's broadcast it across all of them because
he's pointed out the right satellite this time
anyway yeah that's the main story the whole point
is yeah aliens are here and they're trying to
terrafilm earth because we've already ruined
it so why don't they come here um lots and lots
and lots and lots of little clever bits so Now
you know that Kiki, the boy, was an alien. Yep.
That was a bombshell. That was a bombshell. But
what was really clever, if you notice, and I
had to read the IMDb notes and read up on it,
none of the aliens sweat. So if you notice, when
Charlie... Charlie Sheen's covered in sweat.
He's covered in sweat, but none of the aliens...
Oh, I didn't notice that. The taxi driver isn't
sweating. But that's one key point, is his girlfriend,
who you assume is an alien by the end of it,
turned out not to be. She never sweats. So actually,
was she an alien all along? And that's what the
sequel will be about. Don't know. But yeah, all
the alien characters that are in their human
suits don't sweat. So you can assume that the
aliens don't sweat because they like the heat
and whatever. So you notice the first time they
meet Kiki, he comes up with an ice pack. I don't
want that on me. Oh, yeah. So was that meant
to be a little subtle clue? Yeah. That you then
go back and go, that's why he didn't want the
ice pack on him. they want this hot world and
yeah that's why um so i quite quite i completely
missed that connection i was too flabbergasted
at the scene where his legs bend the wrong way
and he runs off oh no it's the first time you
see that yeah but that last was the worst time
yes it's horrible the worst one you're seeing
this kid because it makes his bone crunching
so so for those who haven't watched it imagine
a person stood there and then suddenly there's
a bone crunching sound and their legs bend the
other direction like a minotaur yeah or something
and they just start running yeah and he just
turns around off he goes yeah and it was really
badly done too that last scene yeah and the first
time you see it is there's this uh elderly mexican
man that's trying to kill charlie sheen while
he's in mexico and charlie sheen chases him out
after the bath scene which we'll talk about oh
the bath scene and um While Charlie Sheen's looking
at the public who suddenly appeared behind him,
you just hear the horrible noise. The legs snap
backwards and then he just springs up in the
sky over the wall and off he goes. Actually,
that's pretty cool. I actually really like that.
I went to the bath scene. Right. So for whatever
reason, there's a scene where Charlie Sheen has
to have a bath and he calls up his voicemail
machine. Which will be very confusing for young
people to understand what that is. And he's listening
to his girlfriend apologizing to him and asking
where he is. All the while, it's doing little
shots to like water coming down the walls. And
I'm like, is his bath leaking? Is it condensation?
Is there something happening? Are they trying
to build some kind of tension for something happening?
Well, what happens? It turns out is the floor
above someone's having a bath as well. It's the
old man because when he looks up, he sees the
old man at the door. So the old man above him
has turned the taps on in the bath above him
and he's letting it flood. And yes, you get this
giant cast iron bath dropping into his bath.
And he just gets out of the way. The sound. It's
the first time in the film where the sound engineer
was like, my time to shine. Because he just went
with the thing. And I'm there like kind of enjoying
this. And there's something really fucking loud
in the headphones. If I can get a clip of it,
I'll try and paste a clip in here. Because it
was so like, oh, my God. Oh, my God. I text you.
And I was like, fucking hell, the bath. And then
he's like running through the streets chasing
him. And at first I didn't really notice. I think
I was in so much shock I didn't notice and put
trousers on. And you don't see his bottom half
for a long period of time. So he's running through
the street fucking naked. He's going straight
after this dude. Apparently he found something
to put some jeans on. Of course. Yeah, that was
a great. And they do it. They do the same thing
at the end when the whole satellite dish thing
is crumbling down. That's the same noise pretty
much as the bath one. But suddenly they whack
the volume up and just go. I'd hate to have seen
it in the cinema. It would blow your head off
in the cinema. God, yeah. You know those videos
you see of women getting into cars with loads
of bass and their hair's going... That's what
it felt like in the cinema. But all of it, though,
just fit together really nicely. as much as yeah
she so the woman that he meets is an environmental
scientist and she's looking at the emissions
and it turns out they know about her but not
necessarily him being in mexico so they've smashed
up all her equipment he just about saves her
from being kind of murdered by being there at
the same time um they then start getting along
and nearly do the old uh hide the sausage game
but uh Oh, that was so awkward. That scene was
so awkward. But it was good because it would
have been awkward. That's what made it feel,
as much as I don't like awkward and cringy moments,
it's like actually this felt real. It's like
the bath bit actually felt like what you would
do. You'd put something on the speaker, you climb
in, it's like, what is going on? There's something
about it. There's not just a charm about it,
but it felt realistic. And I don't know why it
should be. But yeah, she gets killed by scorpions.
Yeah, I needed to talk to you about that. I'm
guessing they've put the scorpions in there.
Or are they aliens that are looking like scorpions?
No, no, it's the old man again. His bum bag's
full of them. But scorpions aren't going to come
and search you out to sting you and kill you.
Firstly, they're not going to kill you. He's
put loads in there and they're meant to be poisonous
scorpions. But if you read the trivia on it,
they're all like something called an angel scorpion
or something like that. Harmless unless you're
allergic. Yeah, I just, that was a bit, I was
like, look, the scorpions aren't going to be
hunting you out. Which kind of implied that they
were hunting her out. They kept going towards
her. I think that's only because they'd put so
many in the room and they were just meant to
be all over the room. So it's no chance of it
not happening. Stings her in the bed. It stings
her in the bed. And then you get that scene of
like... He then breaks into the power plant,
not knowing she's died. Yeah, yeah. And we finally
get the reveal of the alien and what it looks
like. And it's a really good design. They've
got the weird bendy legs. They've got this muscular
kind of torso. And then they've got kind of these
weird rabbit ears that flop back. And then as
they lift up, and there's the brain. It's like,
this is really weird. They've got the typical
big eyes that people associate with greys, I
think they call them the aliens. They had the
same face as the aliens in Independence Day.
Very similar face, yeah. So you kind of, yeah,
you've got this scene. And then there's that
brilliant scene where there's this trans, I think
you could call it a transmogrifier, I think.
Where they change. Yeah, basically. They force
their thumbs into the right position. You hear
the bones cracking again. And it turns them into
what their human character is. It does three
swipes over them. Yeah. And takes three stages,
like change, change, and then a set. Yeah, that's
the one. And he fucking idiot jumps in it, doesn't
he? Well, just before that, I like the fact that
they're dumb enough to go, well, because we're
in Mexico, we can just reuse the face of someone
that's over in America because no one's going
to know. And obviously Zane sees it like... I
know that face. It's just him with the moustache.
Precisely. But I quite liked that. I think they've
got this limited number of faces that they're
using and that's what they've done. But yeah,
he throws himself into it. Just one swipe, it
doesn't set. And I was like, oh my God, this
is horrific. And his face melts. But it's brilliant.
It's just the right amount of comic that you
need for a film at that point. Because it's been
going on a little bit long and you're starting
to think, i'm enjoying this but we do need to
get start thinking about the climax for it yeah
and there's the brilliant bit where he's in this
this the alien lift shaft and they're going up
in the lift shaft and um he leans into the taxi
driver and he just so When he first meets the
taxi driver and says, oh, can you take me here?
And the taxi driver's very against him. You want
to see the ruins, my friend. Turns out he's an
alien. Yeah. And he's like, do you want to see
the ruins, my friend? Yeah. And he just whispers
it and then just shoves him out of it. He's talking
to an alien. And at first, Charlie Sheen just
kind of nods or shakes him higher. And the guy's
like, okay. And then he looks at him again and
does it again. And that's when Charlie Sheen's
like. shit yeah and then yeah he says the same
thing to him as like good health and safety on
their lifts has got no front he pushes him off
and kills him uh i don't want to ask you because
we want to just fly back quickly the woman's
died yep his best friend died yep which he's
traumatized by he yeah you see him absolutely
break down i want to take yeah somebody an ex
-medical profession guy excuse me a second okay
i'm excusing you for one second exactly They've
got him on a gurney, taking him out. Yep. Looks
dead to me. Someone even says, this guy's DOA.
That's dead on arrival, right? It is. Excuse
me, everyone. Or dick on arse, depends on...
Dick on arse, that's later. Dead on arrival,
is that when they arrived? Dead on arrival? Yeah,
you're dead on arrival. Okay, so why is there
a guy with a thing in his face, squeezing it,
trying to make him breathe, when he's just been
declared as DOA? Because DOA is not a declaration.
So it may be that the police... I can't quite
remember. Is it the police officer that says
dead on arrival? I don't know. You don't hear
who says it. Someone says dead on arrival, but
the paramedics are still working on him, basically.
So it's just a member of public or a police officer
saying he's DOA. He was saying there's no chance
he's going to survive, is what they're trying
to get the idea. That just made me put my nose
out of joy a little bit. So he then escapes the...
alien dungeon yeah gets in the car drives forward
without looking and hits one of the aliens oh
you suddenly see kind of the transmogrification
if we're sticking with that starts melting and
fizzing away so it's like once you damage the
skin they kind of you can see it kind of like
escaping like this kind of like yeah but within
a few minutes it's daytime and he's in a police
custody and so well you've murdered some we think
you've you've killed someone and um you see the
police officer go outside and the van pulls up
they pull out the body and you're right there's
this how comes the woman and it must be a mannequin
and i'm gonna say the mannequins they used in
this film yeah was brilliant um excluding gordian
well all gordian as well and the two cleanup
crew which we haven't talked about yet when they
freeze them in liquid nitrogen yep phenomenal
models they used great and the same with hers
as much as it was silly seeing her going like
that that's who you hit is it that that's how
she died but um really good models but yeah that
was a bit comic that was a bit of a it was it
was a little bit of 90 80s and 90s sci -fi tropes
in this killer scorpions A classic kind of, I'm
sure I've seen loads of things where they're
deadly. Liquid nitrogen is the cure -all to all
bad guys. Yep. Terminator 2. Yeah. It's like
Demolition Man. Demolition Man, yes. Essentially
that's liquid nitrogen, isn't it? You know, it
did feel a bit like that, but not in a bad way.
No. It gave me a kind of nice warm feeling. As
soon as I saw the liquid nitrogen kind of steam.
is it coming off of the piece that he had in
his house yeah and i was like my one of my answers
why the fucking hell has he got something with
liquid nitrogen in it which actually he addresses
later on and that's calling it and if you look
at that's actually a genuine thing yeah and i
was like okay great he's acknowledged that that's
fucking ridiculous to have that but then in my
head i was like they're definitely going to use
liquid nitrogen again in this film later they've
got the science man on set who's done that He's
going to be back. And I wasn't surprised when
I saw it later on. Saying then we'd go back and
talk about these guys then. So there is a cleanup
crew the aliens use and you assume that they
are also alien. But what you don't know, are
they the same alien or are they other aliens
or are they just, you never know because these
guys will operate a gardening service. And it's
almost like Gordian goes and turns up and says,
I understand you can fix things. So it's like.
are these people human or are they not human?
No, I think they are aliens, but it kind of felt
to me like maybe they're a different sect of
the aliens. They're like the mafia of the aliens.
They're doing other stuff. They're not part of
the science team trying to do these things. Because
he comes up to him, doesn't he? He goes, oh,
I hear that you can tidy things up or something,
doesn't he? That's it. And this is when we get
introduced to probably one of the coolest things
in the film. And I really love this weird brass
-looking metallic ball that they use to clean
up the mess that's been left. And it's brilliant.
It's this metallic ball, and he rolls it into
a room once it's been triggered. And a bit like
Hellraiser, it kind of starts popping to bits,
but then it starts spinning, and you've got this
kind of laser light going around, and everything
gets just sucked into it. So the room is absolutely
empty. And when they do it in the loft, it looks
such a really effective effect. And the great
shot where it sucks a bird through the air. Yes.
And the only thing left is just a feather just
floating down. I was like, that was a neat little
touch. It was a really, really nice little touch,
that thing. And then obviously they use it in
the radio satellite as well, causing it to collapse,
which was, again, also very cool. And it wasn't
overused. No, I think it only happens three times.
It happens twice. You see it happen twice, but
you assume there's a third time before you see
it the first time, isn't there? I don't know
if they do it or if they just turn up and kill.
That's when they're killing. Because they know
he's not done anything. Whereas at Zane's house,
they know he's got all the recordings and everything.
So it needs cleaning up. I think they just kill
his mate to start with. But again. Great character.
No speech from him. Even when they go out and
they see Kiki, which is what throws you. Yeah,
because he's just smiling at you. Then this is
why I'm saying, are they a different alien? Because
Kiki's an alien. He knows what's going on. But
Kiki doesn't tell him. Go back to it. Kiki never
tells him that the people have been to the loft.
Your gardeners have been. Well, what gardeners?
Yeah, and then when they go up into the thing,
at no point do you go, oh yeah, they went up
there. He doesn't say it. No. Exactly. So it's
like, actually, yeah, you know what? There's
another link back to Kiki being a shitbag. Yeah,
I did send you a text tonight going, Kiki, you
know, what have you done? I said something like
that tonight. You're a traitor. Does that really
do... When you get... So that bit right at the
end, everything's in place. The woman's holding
the door closed with these chains because all
these aliens' hands are coming through like it's
something out of fucking The Walking Dead. And
he's done all the machines set up to get the
dish aligned. And all that needs to happen is
someone in the other room just needs to press
one button to send this tape cassette recording
to wherever it's going. Yeah. And it's Kiki's
job and he doesn't press it. He doesn't. And
then he calmly walks to the door. He walks over
to the door, opens it and lets the alien in.
Yeah. And I was like, no. So I've got the WhatsApp
here. So 38 minutes in, not much has happened.
I'm not bored. I've actually stopped playing
Hytale to focus, LOL, because he's a cool kid.
Yeah, lol. Jesus Christ, the bar, all in capital
letters, old man. I only have 20 minutes left.
Kiki, you son of a bitch. Yeah, I just, I was,
yeah, shocked. So what I was expecting was they'd
promised him something to help his grandma. that's
that's what i was expecting i didn't until that
very moment where they're both on top of the
wrecked dish it wasn't until then i was like
he's an alien of course he's an alien crunch
crunch legs back to front awful animation of
him running off into their distance fucking dreadful
it looks like they've got someone to run towards
the screen yeah and then they've cut the top
of him off and played it backwards Well, possibly.
That's what it looked like. That's what it looked
like to me. Possibly, yes. That would make sense.
To wrap it up, I think I enjoyed it, wasn't bored,
I was engaged. Yeah, it was an hour. When I noticed
it was an hour 55, I thought, oh, no. But as
I said, 38 minutes, a couple of things happened,
not really loads. I wasn't bored. I was enjoying
it. I do like a slow burn sci -fi. I wouldn't
call this as a slow burn sci -fi. No. you know
the all the exposition all the other bits were
world building and character building and were
it wouldn't it wouldn't be the same film without
them it's got a solid story it's not badly filmed
um it deserves a bit of love in my opinion i'm
just looking at this yeah uh budget was estimated
at 25 million really uh opening weekend in us
and canada was Just under 5 million. Oh, what
a shame. And gross worldwide was 14 million.
Oh, that's a shame because I think it must have
cult classic status now. I think it's got to.
And then let me just check here because I'm pretty
sure I'm right. Independence, yeah, 96, same
year, Independence Day came out. So if you think...
These two came out at similar times. You saw
two trailers for an alien -based film. One is
Charlie Sheen, and one is Will Smith, straight
out of Fresh Prince of Bel -Air. Men in Black.
95 or 97? I think Men in Black might be after.
97, so it's a year later. But Will Smith is just
fresh out of his rap career. Yeah, it's pre -Wild
Wild West. Yeah, pre -Wild Wild West. Cripe.
He is the world's darling that the world is focusing
on. How the mighty have fallen. Absolutely. But
who are you going to focus on if those two films
come out at the same time? Well, I mean, even
without that, let's say Will Smith was in both
of them. I mean, Independence Day is, you know,
it's a better film. You can certainly deny it's
a better film. But I would say, though, Independence
Day, it does have some ropey CGI in it. You know
what? Independence Day, I tried re -watching
it A couple of months back now. Fuck me, does
it drag. I mean, it's going to be on the list
of ones for us to watch. I remember the first
time I watched it was at the cinema with my mum.
We went to see it at Hatfield the Galleria. I
think I might have seen it at the cinema. I don't
know who with though. And thoroughly enjoyed
it. And it didn't feel like it was bum -numbing
at all. But were you watching it now? It drags.
Maybe. I'm just looking here at the difference.
So, 50 million more budget. 75 million. Oh, Jesus.
75 million budget estimated. Opening weekend
US and Canada was 50 million. Gross worldwide,
817 million. Everyone else in the world loved
it. Yeah, but I do actually think it's a good
film. It's a good game too. It's a PS2 game of
the Independence Day. It's quite good. PlayStation
1. It's PlayStation 1. It's PS1, yeah. It's quite
good. I enjoyed Independence Day. The book's
hysterical because it's the alternate ending.
In the book. What's the alternate ending? So
Randy Quaid, old drunk farmer, yeah? Oh, yeah,
you told me about it. Yeah, straps a missile
to his biplane and flies that in instead. Yeah.
And allegedly there is an alternate ending available
with that. I don't know if that's true. Didn't
they think it was too bleak or something or they
didn't want to have that? Anyway, back to The
Arrival. I enjoyed it. it's nice that we're it's
nice when we have good ones on this show it's
nice for having one that actually has something
to talk about as well because this really did
because it was a surprise to me it could be that
good um oh and something i didn't say so very
very quickly did you notice on the ship when
he's not in the ship in the power plant when
he's at that bit where the giant pod flops down
and drops in the alien sees him and there's all
these screens dotted around that then start showing
his face The screens are held by this brass -looking
human hand. I didn't notice. It looks like one
of their hands holding the screen. Oh, I didn't
notice. I wonder if that's what they've done.
They've just painted someone's hand. Oh, possibly.
But anyway, yeah, no, really worth watching.
If you didn't watch it, watch it because it's
a solid bit of sci -fi. It's on YouTube free.
Yeah, absolutely. And on Pluto TV. What's that?
It's another Amazon thing, I think. Oh, it's
another fucking streaming service. Yes, but it's
got something like 50 live channels which are
just showing shows all day long, 24 -7, and films
all day long. And then they've got a collection
of films you can just stream straight up as well.
Is it free? Yeah. Sponsor us. Transfer complete.
Okay, so what we're doing now, a new segment,
and this is how we're going to decide what we're
going to... watch on the next episode tentatively
it has two named it's called untitled sci -fi
roulette or it's 100 sci -fi before you die essentially
tom has got a list of basically the top 100 sci
-fi films according to whatever it was ai i stuck
into gemini because i thought gemini is probably
going to be one that grabs the most recent data
and i said give me a list of the top 100 sci
-fi films and it said a load of bullshit about
actually that's really hard to do because it's
very much based on who's written the lists and
whatever these are the top 20 that are most commonly
and then you say gemini i'll ask you a fucking
question things like 2001 blade runner alien
star wars episode 4 they're all on there but
then it said what i've then done is i've split
it into categories like action and alien and
things like that and i'll give you a whole 100
and then i said just give me the fucking list
and i've stuck it into a spinner I fucking asked.
I didn't ask for your opinion, Gemini. I asked
you to do a fucking job. You sycophantic little
wanker. But the point is, this has come about
because Rob and I often get to this point of
the show and we then have Rob then say, I haven't
chosen the film. Shit. And I then throw something
in there and we just agree on doing that because
it's easier than thinking of another one. And
maybe that's been a problem. Like you said, we've
then watched films that have actually just been.
good or there's been fuck all to say about them
yeah so it hasn't it hasn't engaged us enough
to want to talk for more than 10 or 15 minutes
about it whereas you're saying we spoke for 25
minutes about a film that i'd never seen before
saw an actor in it that we weren't expecting
and it was actually really good so what we're
going to do tom's got it on his phone he's going
to press the button it's going to spin around
hopefully you pick a film we haven't done before
uh i don't think there's any on here that we
What if Alien's on there? We've done Alien. Oh,
the fifth element's on there. Okay, well, if
it comes up, we've done it. We have to watch
the one it gives us. Even if we've both seen
it a million times, we have to watch it. That's
the game. Well, yeah, absolutely. I mean, I could
just add... What were the other ones that we
said today? Very quickly, we said... What do
you mean? We said two films. Oh, we should add
that to this and add that to the list. Shit,
I can't think of what they were now. Oh, we'll
think of it anyway another time. We can just
add it another time. But yeah, what we will be
doing is once it's selected, we then remove it
from the list and it becomes 99 films. I hope
Evolution's on there. Evolution is on there.
Yes. I love that film. Head and shoulders. Come
on, right. It's always going. We're going to
spin it. And it is film number 10. Film number
10. 1977, Steven Spielberg. Okay. Oh, it's, oh,
fuck. No, it's not, oh, fuck. That's a... Shit,
what's it called? Is it Encounters of the...
Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Close Encounters
of the Third Kind, yeah. Because I've put that
noise in the Guess the Intro. One of the, maybe
the first Guess the Intro. Yes, you did. You
did indeed. Right, I'm going to remove that from
the list because I forgot to click remove. So,
Close Encounters of the Third Kind. What kind?
Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Okay. Put
that down. 1977. 1977. Lovely. Bit of a long
film if I remember rightly. I have seen this
before. A long time ago. I have. Can't say I
really remember very much of it. Richard Dreyfuss.
That was it. Oh, thank you, Karen. Karen sees
my pussy. Thanks, Karen. Thanks, Karen. I'm a
bit late on reading that there, but yeah. one
of one of my pussies uh right it gets a 7 .6
on imdb so not that much above and i think the
arrival should probably have got us jesus christ
i thought you for a moment i thought you'd farted
and i was like that's really loud in my ears
the stream was like literally the trailer just
started playing it really scared me um Two hours,
18 minutes. Okay. It's a long one. But yeah,
that's an interesting choice. Yeah. All right.
