WEBVTT

00:00:00.869 --> 00:00:05.469
Godspeed, the whales are running. Godspeed, the

00:00:05.469 --> 00:00:09.410
whales are running. Godspeed, the whales are

00:00:09.410 --> 00:00:15.630
running early in the morning. Now that we've

00:00:15.630 --> 00:00:18.730
been able to orbit Venus, we're a lot closer

00:00:18.730 --> 00:00:23.030
to our ultimate goal, Mars. Well done, Parker.

00:00:23.469 --> 00:00:30.579
Thank you, madam. Home, milady? Home. You've

00:00:30.579 --> 00:00:33.659
done a lot of good, Sam Beckett. You can do a

00:00:33.659 --> 00:00:37.560
lot more. Words will always retain their power.

00:00:57.320 --> 00:00:59.899
and welcome to the Untitled Sci -Fi Show. I'm

00:00:59.899 --> 00:01:03.200
Rob, that's Tom. Yeah, fair enough. You alright?

00:01:03.380 --> 00:01:06.599
I do the same to you. I will allow it. You're

00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:08.959
allowed to be silly here. Well, of course I am.

00:01:09.060 --> 00:01:11.420
No, I'm all good, bud. How about you? Yeah, I'm

00:01:11.420 --> 00:01:14.159
pretty good, actually. It's been very busy. Lots

00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:16.140
of busy things going on, but alright, yeah. Yeah,

00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:19.040
had a lot going on work -wise as well, and I

00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:22.219
think I did quite well on what's coming up as

00:01:22.219 --> 00:01:25.290
well with the guest intro. oh yeah it took a

00:01:25.290 --> 00:01:27.010
little bit took a little bit but i got there

00:01:27.010 --> 00:01:30.730
but uh well a few things to discuss in the normal

00:01:30.730 --> 00:01:32.629
discussion bit which will probably drag on too

00:01:32.629 --> 00:01:34.189
long that's what we've got we've got guest intro

00:01:34.189 --> 00:01:37.250
we've got a little treaty treaty trekkie treaty

00:01:37.250 --> 00:01:39.370
over here yeah we're gonna have a little chat

00:01:39.370 --> 00:01:40.670
about what we're up to and then we're gonna speak

00:01:40.670 --> 00:01:43.790
about starfleet academy oh what have you said

00:01:43.790 --> 00:01:45.909
you on uh i've just watched one two and three

00:01:45.909 --> 00:01:49.090
oh have i watched three yes because you told

00:01:49.090 --> 00:01:51.010
me to watch the next two so we could talk about

00:01:51.010 --> 00:01:54.209
it Did I watch it? That's the pranking one. Yes,

00:01:54.269 --> 00:01:56.189
I did watch it. Because there's a fourth episode

00:01:56.189 --> 00:01:58.609
out now. The fourth is out now. I have not watched

00:01:58.609 --> 00:02:00.730
that one. I have no idea what the fourth episode

00:02:00.730 --> 00:02:02.890
is about. Neither do I. By the time this is out,

00:02:02.909 --> 00:02:05.390
there'll be five. Probably. So next episode,

00:02:05.629 --> 00:02:08.310
we'll be confused again. Yeah, and then after

00:02:08.310 --> 00:02:13.830
we've spoken about Arrival, or The Arrival. No,

00:02:13.930 --> 00:02:17.090
no, The Arrival, not Arrival. Arrival is the

00:02:17.090 --> 00:02:21.219
modern film with Amy Adams. the one with charlie

00:02:21.219 --> 00:02:25.659
sheen in it yes and the weird legs oh yeah well

00:02:25.659 --> 00:02:28.060
then we've got a little thing the going forward

00:02:28.060 --> 00:02:31.860
when we instead of just lazily choosing what

00:02:31.860 --> 00:02:33.099
we're gonna do something we've got a new little

00:02:33.099 --> 00:02:34.699
game that we're gonna do every time which is

00:02:34.699 --> 00:02:37.259
gonna choose for us that's fun anyway let's get

00:02:37.259 --> 00:02:43.800
on with it enter authorization code guess the

00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:48.490
intro is back How do you think you got on? Before

00:02:48.490 --> 00:02:50.810
I press any buttons or anything, how do you think

00:02:50.810 --> 00:02:56.310
we got on? I 100 % aced it. Yeah? Excluding the

00:02:56.310 --> 00:02:59.830
one that I think I've got right by doing kind

00:02:59.830 --> 00:03:03.469
of deduction. Well, the thing you said about

00:03:03.469 --> 00:03:05.770
episodes, I'm not really that worried about.

00:03:05.810 --> 00:03:08.729
Let's say, for an example, it was a Voyager episode.

00:03:09.189 --> 00:03:11.909
You can just say Star Trek to me. We all fucking

00:03:11.909 --> 00:03:14.150
know. Unless it's really obvious and I think,

00:03:14.150 --> 00:03:15.830
no, that's not good enough, you can tell me.

00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:18.419
Do you know what I mean? That's good enough.

00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:21.919
Yeah, but the one that... The Star Wars one.

00:03:22.099 --> 00:03:24.599
Yeah. I know there's a Star Wars one, but there

00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:27.099
is multiple Star Wars series. You're saying Star

00:03:27.099 --> 00:03:29.699
Wars is enough. Oh, shit. Okay, well... Because

00:03:29.699 --> 00:03:33.080
you... As I said... The dogs are attacking. The

00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:35.159
dogs are attacking. Because you're not a Star

00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:37.979
Wars guy, I'll happily let you just say Star

00:03:37.979 --> 00:03:40.139
Wars. Now, somebody did say the exact correct

00:03:40.139 --> 00:03:44.139
answer. So... They might be in the VIP section

00:03:44.139 --> 00:03:46.360
or the winner's lounge. Those of you that don't

00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:48.479
know and for whatever reason you're starting

00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:53.219
this terrible podcast at season three, you would

00:03:53.219 --> 00:03:54.699
have heard at the start of the show, people watching

00:03:54.699 --> 00:03:57.300
live, hello, by the way, this one's live on YouTube.

00:03:58.780 --> 00:04:01.919
At the beginning of the episode, the theme tune,

00:04:02.099 --> 00:04:07.419
but we also hide, hide, we put in six clips from

00:04:07.419 --> 00:04:12.289
sci -fi or sci -fi adjacent. media so films tv

00:04:12.289 --> 00:04:16.089
shows whatever games sometimes and this six are

00:04:16.089 --> 00:04:19.350
very stretched they are i'm not sorry not stretched

00:04:19.350 --> 00:04:23.310
they are a long way apart they are the most oh

00:04:23.310 --> 00:04:25.949
yeah random selection of sci -fi i think you've

00:04:25.949 --> 00:04:29.889
done to this day yes because i wanted to try

00:04:29.889 --> 00:04:31.930
and do one of them i've done before but i was

00:04:31.930 --> 00:04:33.910
trying to do ones i haven't done before that's

00:04:33.910 --> 00:04:34.949
where it's getting difficult because i've got

00:04:34.949 --> 00:04:40.870
quite a few of these now that i'm god link He's

00:04:40.870 --> 00:04:44.069
trying to get under the table because that's

00:04:44.069 --> 00:04:45.949
where he normally goes. He normally goes under

00:04:45.949 --> 00:04:48.509
and then curls up on her feet. I'll tell you

00:04:48.509 --> 00:04:50.970
what, I'll move this chair out of your way. Go

00:04:50.970 --> 00:04:53.829
round. Great content. Go round, yeah. Sorry for

00:04:53.829 --> 00:04:54.910
everyone. It's great for the people on camera.

00:04:54.970 --> 00:04:56.189
They can't even see him either. The people on

00:04:56.189 --> 00:04:57.970
camera can't see him and they're about to not

00:04:57.970 --> 00:05:02.110
hear the six sounds either. Right, okay. Let's

00:05:02.110 --> 00:05:05.850
just start. First one, the first one. Jehovah's

00:05:05.850 --> 00:05:09.980
Witness. No, sir. Federal Bureau of Investigation.

00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:12.800
Easy one. You cannot mistake Julian Hansen and...

00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:16.000
Where are my shoes? Right in... The X -Files.

00:05:16.220 --> 00:05:19.139
I think I accidentally told that first one to

00:05:19.139 --> 00:05:21.319
be all of them. I think you did. Yeah, never

00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:25.459
mind. X -Files. Yes, X -Files, yeah. I know I

00:05:25.459 --> 00:05:28.040
did the obvious one last time, you know, where

00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:31.319
Mulder meets... Scully meets Mulder for the first

00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:32.560
time. That was what I did the first time I did

00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:34.240
X -Files. Anyway, yeah, absolutely right. Next

00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:38.360
one. Where are my shoes? Right in front of you,

00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:41.439
dear, where they're supposed to be. That's the

00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:44.459
Jetsons. It's the Jetsons, yeah. I haven't seen

00:05:44.459 --> 00:05:48.019
the Jetsons in so long. And I can tell you the

00:05:48.019 --> 00:05:50.319
only reason I know that was the Jetsons is because

00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:53.319
a few years ago, my mother -in -law was asking,

00:05:53.379 --> 00:05:56.319
what would you like for your birthday? And they

00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:58.699
were cheap, so I asked her for the complete first

00:05:58.699 --> 00:06:03.079
seasons of one and two of the Flintstones. Hanna

00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:06.889
-Barbera. advert at the very beginning is jetsons

00:06:06.889 --> 00:06:10.670
scooby -doo and then a few other of of the shows

00:06:10.670 --> 00:06:14.850
now this may or may not be true but i chose the

00:06:14.850 --> 00:06:17.009
jetsons because i heard a rumor they were making

00:06:17.009 --> 00:06:19.389
a live action that they were making live action

00:06:19.389 --> 00:06:21.529
or they were remaking the cartoon and jim carrey

00:06:21.529 --> 00:06:24.529
had something to do with it oh again i thought

00:06:24.529 --> 00:06:28.430
he'd retired several times later so he's retired

00:06:28.430 --> 00:06:33.490
as in like he's not looking for work But if something

00:06:33.490 --> 00:06:36.050
comes up like Sonic comes up that he actually

00:06:36.050 --> 00:06:38.689
likes, he'll do. Fair enough, okay. By the way,

00:06:38.730 --> 00:06:40.910
Sonic is fucking brilliant. The Sonic films are

00:06:40.910 --> 00:06:44.149
brilliant. Now you finally saw them. Yeah, now

00:06:44.149 --> 00:06:47.550
I've seen all of them multiple times now. Next.

00:06:48.310 --> 00:06:50.529
Everyone in the order, new Anakin Skywalker.

00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:53.819
So that is obviously Star Wars, Anakin Skywalker,

00:06:53.819 --> 00:06:56.480
blah, blah, blah. I put it down as Ahsoka because

00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:58.500
that's the only one I could think that we haven't

00:06:58.500 --> 00:07:00.319
had a clip from yet. And this is when you tell

00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:02.680
me, no, I have done a clip from it before. You're

00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:05.660
correct that it's Ahsoka. And no, I don't think

00:07:05.660 --> 00:07:06.899
I've done a clip of Ahsoka. Yeah, there you go.

00:07:06.939 --> 00:07:08.560
Because I know you've done The Mandalorian. Yeah.

00:07:08.620 --> 00:07:11.600
I know you've done... The Rogue One. Yeah. So

00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:13.899
I thought the only other one that it could be,

00:07:13.939 --> 00:07:15.519
excluding the films, is going to be something

00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:17.430
like that. Yeah, I mean, I haven't seen Ashoka

00:07:17.430 --> 00:07:20.269
at all. I don't know who that character is. I

00:07:20.269 --> 00:07:22.149
know nothing about it. And it was really difficult

00:07:22.149 --> 00:07:24.110
to find a clip that I might think anyone knows

00:07:24.110 --> 00:07:27.730
because I haven't seen it. I don't know. So that's

00:07:27.730 --> 00:07:29.610
just from the trailer. So you can hear all the

00:07:29.610 --> 00:07:30.810
music in the background, which is a bit rubbish

00:07:30.810 --> 00:07:33.649
anyway. Next. Whether it happens in a hundred

00:07:33.649 --> 00:07:36.389
years or a thousand years or a million years,

00:07:36.529 --> 00:07:40.069
eventually our sun will grow cold and go out.

00:07:40.129 --> 00:07:44.040
And go out. Now. I don't know if you chose this

00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:47.699
because, like me, your TikTok feed has started

00:07:47.699 --> 00:07:51.079
kind of feeding in these. No. Oh, fine. Okay,

00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:54.740
Babylon 5. Yeah, Babylon 5. I haven't watched

00:07:54.740 --> 00:07:57.120
it for years. I remember when it first came out,

00:07:57.139 --> 00:07:59.980
it was a Channel 4, if I remember rightly. I

00:07:59.980 --> 00:08:01.579
watched a handful of them, but they were just

00:08:01.579 --> 00:08:05.740
a bit too weird, along with Farscape. I loved

00:08:05.740 --> 00:08:08.160
Farscape. I need to give it another try, but

00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:10.879
I didn't give it enough time when I was younger.

00:08:11.529 --> 00:08:14.110
I think I was just in my early teens when Farscape

00:08:14.110 --> 00:08:17.629
came out, so women had appeared. Yeah, I do really

00:08:17.629 --> 00:08:18.970
like Farscape. And the good thing about Farscape,

00:08:19.009 --> 00:08:20.509
the two main characters that end up being in

00:08:20.509 --> 00:08:24.550
Stargate, when they cancelled Farscape, the main

00:08:24.550 --> 00:08:28.629
character and the love interest, who's also a

00:08:28.629 --> 00:08:30.930
really fucking cool character, not just like

00:08:30.930 --> 00:08:33.429
a woman, they ended up both being in Stargate.

00:08:33.750 --> 00:08:37.190
Now, funnily enough, you're saying about Stargate...

00:08:37.210 --> 00:08:40.269
Apparently this year recording for a Stargate

00:08:40.269 --> 00:08:44.629
project in London. Yeah, another film. I think

00:08:44.629 --> 00:08:47.490
they're rebooting the films. Oh, God damn it.

00:08:47.529 --> 00:08:48.769
I think they're rebooting the films. You don't

00:08:48.769 --> 00:08:50.889
need to reboot that film. It's a fucking brilliant

00:08:50.889 --> 00:08:52.909
film. It's a great film. Hopefully it'll be on

00:08:52.909 --> 00:08:55.870
the list. Should be. I don't think it is. Be

00:08:55.870 --> 00:08:57.129
prepared. But we can always add some to the end.

00:08:57.129 --> 00:08:58.669
The wife's just got home and Link's trying to

00:08:58.669 --> 00:09:00.570
get out from under the table. My leg is stopping

00:09:00.570 --> 00:09:02.090
him from knocking all of the camera equipment

00:09:02.090 --> 00:09:04.730
over. Okay, right. So, yeah, you're right, Babylon

00:09:04.730 --> 00:09:08.480
5. Next. Are you alone here? Oh, hardly. I've

00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:12.200
got all these cats. It's funny you put this on,

00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:13.679
because again, it's another one. I got it for

00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:15.539
Christmas this year, Logan's Run. Logan's Run,

00:09:15.620 --> 00:09:16.740
yeah. Have you ever seen it? Somebody edited

00:09:16.740 --> 00:09:18.299
that clip, by the way, because it's quite a lot

00:09:18.299 --> 00:09:19.759
longer than that. Yes, it's a lot longer. Have

00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:22.000
you ever seen it? No. It's a weird -ass film.

00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.120
I think that must be on the list. Again, if it

00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:25.480
isn't, we'll add it to the list, because I've

00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:27.679
got it on Blu -ray. It's a good film. I've watched

00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:31.000
a lot of clips of it. It's of its time, and it's

00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:34.120
long. Yeah. Oh, it's long. What's it even about?

00:09:34.970 --> 00:09:37.070
basically everyone has a death day they have

00:09:37.070 --> 00:09:39.750
a crystal in their hand and i've gone i think

00:09:39.750 --> 00:09:42.070
it's even the simpson sounds like numbers might

00:09:42.070 --> 00:09:44.629
be future armor future armor might rip the piss

00:09:44.629 --> 00:09:46.450
out of it but when their crystal turns a certain

00:09:46.450 --> 00:09:49.570
color they go and get executed because it's the

00:09:49.570 --> 00:09:51.129
end of their life and they believe that they

00:09:51.129 --> 00:09:54.370
go off to somewhere better and it's all because

00:09:54.370 --> 00:09:57.629
this kind of post -apocalyptic lies that they're

00:09:57.629 --> 00:09:59.629
all living in this perfect society but they can't

00:09:59.629 --> 00:10:04.259
leave it right and then finally the main characters

00:10:04.259 --> 00:10:06.960
one changes he actually i don't want to i want

00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:09.480
to be a runner and there's a basically a police

00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:12.740
force that chase after the runners and just it's

00:10:12.740 --> 00:10:15.019
not a bad film i'm sure there's a film called

00:10:15.019 --> 00:10:17.600
numbers or something with justin timberlake that's

00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:19.740
similar he has a tattoo on his hands in time

00:10:19.740 --> 00:10:21.779
in time is that what's called in time in time

00:10:21.779 --> 00:10:26.740
start on my list um basically they all have they

00:10:26.740 --> 00:10:31.399
stop aging at the age of 25 that's it um And

00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:33.500
then their countdown. And basically you can trade,

00:10:33.580 --> 00:10:36.019
you can win, you can buy time. But when your

00:10:36.019 --> 00:10:38.559
clock finishes, you're gone, you're dead. Poof.

00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:44.980
Right, last one. Nanu Nanu. That's Mork and Mindy.

00:10:44.980 --> 00:10:47.419
Mork and Mindy, that's right. An easy one. Nanu

00:10:47.419 --> 00:10:52.519
Nanu. So well done. You got them all right. Yay!

00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:55.259
Hooray! Welcome to the Winners' Lounge. The bouncers

00:10:55.259 --> 00:10:56.600
will let you in this time, as you didn't get

00:10:56.600 --> 00:11:00.019
in at Christmas, did you? You've been out in

00:11:00.019 --> 00:11:01.860
the cold. You've been out in the cold all this

00:11:01.860 --> 00:11:05.379
time. Of course. Somebody did get them all right.

00:11:05.419 --> 00:11:08.159
And they also did get the Star Wars one correct.

00:11:08.500 --> 00:11:10.299
Would you like to know who it is? You can probably

00:11:10.299 --> 00:11:14.259
guess. Is it... Hold on. No, no, no. Hold on.

00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:16.259
You can't start naming people. I'm just going

00:11:16.259 --> 00:11:19.879
to tell you. M or J? J. Oh, well done, James.

00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:23.070
Well done, James. Goddy gosh, what's your Blue

00:11:23.070 --> 00:11:24.970
Sky handle again? Because I'm supposed to be

00:11:24.970 --> 00:11:27.129
doing shout -outs with people's Blue Sky handles,

00:11:27.169 --> 00:11:30.049
aren't I, and stuff. He hasn't got Twitter. So

00:11:30.049 --> 00:11:34.090
it was something, something, something at Blue

00:11:34.090 --> 00:11:37.970
Sky. He's got a really weird one, isn't it? Jimbo.

00:11:38.370 --> 00:11:45.519
Yeah. Okay, right. Super8az at Jimbo8e6. bsky

00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:48.980
.social .com. That's the one. So Jimbo86, well

00:11:48.980 --> 00:11:52.440
done, mate. You got all of them correct, even

00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:54.539
though at first you didn't hear the more convenient

00:11:54.539 --> 00:11:57.740
one at the end. I told you there's six, not five.

00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:01.039
But well done, mate. He's a frequent flyer in

00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:02.600
the winner's lounge. He's got his own section.

00:12:02.820 --> 00:12:05.259
He's in the VIP at the moment. He's got special

00:12:05.259 --> 00:12:08.059
access. Anyway, thanks, everyone. Thank you.

00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:09.820
Let's have a look at this cool thing you've got

00:12:09.820 --> 00:12:15.789
over here. Yeah. Right, you've brought along

00:12:15.789 --> 00:12:19.509
a lovely little box. So Trekkie Trivia bought

00:12:19.509 --> 00:12:22.710
in the British Heart Foundation for three of

00:12:22.710 --> 00:12:27.009
the great British pounds. Woo! Content, 2 ,400

00:12:27.009 --> 00:12:30.409
questions. One die, one pencil, one pen. One

00:12:30.409 --> 00:12:33.929
of us has got a die? Yep. Oh my God! 2 ,400 questions.

00:12:34.049 --> 00:12:36.889
I think I die of boredom. Well, let's get started,

00:12:36.889 --> 00:12:40.269
everyone. What's the time? It's eight to ten.

00:12:40.289 --> 00:12:42.539
We like Star Trek. But we don't like it that

00:12:42.539 --> 00:12:45.120
much. Yeah, baby. We're not going to play by

00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:47.019
the rules. Each player should take a scorecard.

00:12:47.059 --> 00:12:49.379
The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 are a column down.

00:12:49.740 --> 00:12:51.519
Already I want to know what this one is because

00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:56.340
I've seen the answer. So. Oh, right. Okay. These

00:12:56.340 --> 00:12:59.779
numbers correspond with the symbols. one is generations

00:12:59.779 --> 00:13:04.159
two is one to beam up three it's life but oh

00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:06.740
yeah four is stardate five is other frontiers

00:13:06.740 --> 00:13:09.179
it makes sense when you singularities right i'm

00:13:09.179 --> 00:13:12.200
gonna ask you just just as a as a warm -up i'm

00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:14.379
gonna ask you well i think we won't play it properly

00:13:14.379 --> 00:13:15.620
we'll just no no i'm just gonna give you a warm

00:13:15.620 --> 00:13:17.679
-up uh but what's interesting is you look at

00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:20.700
look at that box yeah it looks so crappy and

00:13:20.700 --> 00:13:23.159
old and if you look at the brand on it it's a

00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:25.480
paul lemon games and i remember seeing those

00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:28.879
sort of things early 90s late 80s things like

00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:31.240
the paul daniel magic set was the same company

00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:34.159
i think so i was expecting this to be like the

00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:37.580
next generation the original series and maybe

00:13:37.580 --> 00:13:39.580
the original films but no it's all the way up

00:13:39.580 --> 00:13:43.039
to voyager teens adult uh we're too old well

00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:45.500
mentally i'm not so that's fine it does look

00:13:45.500 --> 00:13:48.049
trekkie at the front It does, it does. I'm making

00:13:48.049 --> 00:13:50.289
weird noises with this in the way of the... If

00:13:50.289 --> 00:13:51.409
you're going to have a deck of cards, I'm going

00:13:51.409 --> 00:13:53.490
to have a deck of cards. I just saw the answers

00:13:53.490 --> 00:13:55.710
and I was like, okay, this one's Gen, whatever

00:13:55.710 --> 00:13:59.720
Gen is. Generations. In Star Trek 4... Dr. Gillian

00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:02.320
Taylor is an expert on what animals? Whales.

00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:05.080
Yeah. Let me finish. I'll start it so I'll finish.

00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:07.820
A couple of which were transported through time

00:14:07.820 --> 00:14:10.039
with her. Yeah, quite right. Humpback whales

00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:12.539
is the phalanx. Humpback whales, George and Gracie,

00:14:12.539 --> 00:14:14.279
which we'll talk about when we talk about Starfleet

00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:17.519
Academy. Yeah, of course. Right. Okay. I'm going

00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:21.080
to do a beam. Oh, right. Actually, no. You're

00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:24.299
not that a fae, are you, with the original series?

00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:27.100
No. So that would be a bit of an unfair one.

00:14:27.179 --> 00:14:28.919
Oh, God, yeah, you wouldn't get that one in a

00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:32.539
million. Would you get that one? Oh, okay. No,

00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:34.600
you've not seen much Deep Space Nine either.

00:14:34.860 --> 00:14:37.799
No. I really like it, but I've not seen much

00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:39.860
of it. Not enough to answer some Trek trivia

00:14:39.860 --> 00:14:43.580
questions about it. Just the person who started

00:14:43.580 --> 00:14:46.259
a Star Trek podcast doesn't really know very

00:14:46.259 --> 00:14:49.200
much about Star Trek. So OnlyFans, OF, which

00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:52.600
future Star Trek actor played the passenger in

00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:55.120
the Twilight Zone episode Nightmare at 20 ,000

00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:57.940
Feet? It's one of the two big names from the

00:14:57.940 --> 00:15:00.039
original series, so I'll give you a 50 -50 on

00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:02.519
that one. Loki, get down, please. He's on the

00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:06.580
counter. Oi! What a cheeky dog. Which future

00:15:06.580 --> 00:15:08.919
Star Trek actor played the passenger in the Twilight

00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:12.700
Zone episode Nightmare at 20 ,000 Feet? He plays

00:15:12.700 --> 00:15:20.799
one half of Neelix's character. No, original

00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:23.419
series character, this one. That's why I said

00:15:23.419 --> 00:15:26.500
it's one of two main characters. Because Tuvok's

00:15:26.500 --> 00:15:29.279
in Next Generation, actually. Yeah, but this

00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:31.700
is to do with the Twilight Zone. Oh, I don't

00:15:31.700 --> 00:15:35.580
know. It was William Shatner. Oh. But didn't

00:15:35.580 --> 00:15:38.799
he host the Twilight Zone? No. He was an actor

00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:41.419
in it a couple of times before, and I think Twilight

00:15:41.419 --> 00:15:43.840
Zone, if I remember correctly, and sorry, I made

00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:45.740
a load of mess here, just tapping the microphone.

00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:48.740
Sorry, Steve. Everyone there's got shut up, didn't

00:15:48.740 --> 00:15:52.460
you? Pretty sure Twilight Zone was quite a few

00:15:52.460 --> 00:15:55.440
years before Star Trek. And yeah, he played a

00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:57.759
few characters in it. But anyway, yeah, that

00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:01.120
was William Shatner. Oh, okay. I'll give you

00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:04.399
one. I'll give you one. Oh, you'll like this

00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:08.799
one. Beam. In the casting call for TNG, which

00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:11.019
character is described as possessing intelligence,

00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:14.659
personality, beauty, and the natural walk of

00:16:14.659 --> 00:16:18.899
a striptease queen? Oh, God, that can't be Worf.

00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:23.379
I wish it was. Oh, please don't tell me that's

00:16:23.379 --> 00:16:26.500
Deanna Troi. No. Beverly Crusher? Beverly Crusher,

00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:30.539
yeah. Would you say she's got the natural walk

00:16:30.539 --> 00:16:35.929
of a striptease queen? Who knows? I would never

00:16:35.929 --> 00:16:37.710
have thought of her in that way at all. I know

00:16:37.710 --> 00:16:43.750
Picard does, but there you go. I'm just having

00:16:43.750 --> 00:16:47.690
a quick look here. Ah, okay. Here you go. You

00:16:47.690 --> 00:16:50.549
liked Voyager. Yeah, I loved Voyager. I'm not

00:16:50.549 --> 00:16:52.169
going to know any trivia questions, but go for

00:16:52.169 --> 00:16:56.230
it. Okay, so this is Star. In the Voyager episode,

00:16:56.570 --> 00:17:00.600
Bliss... Seven and Naomi Wildman are the only

00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:03.480
crew members not afflicted with witch delusion.

00:17:03.740 --> 00:17:09.920
Oh, for fuck's sake. I don't know. Uh, cheese.

00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:14.380
Uh. That they found a way home. It's the entire

00:17:14.380 --> 00:17:16.200
episode where the crew, except for those two,

00:17:16.299 --> 00:17:18.240
think that they found their way home. You know

00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:20.200
what I see? When the person who sat here writing

00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:22.279
this, you know the comic book guy from fucking

00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:25.259
Simpsons? He sat there going... I wouldn't want

00:17:25.259 --> 00:17:27.200
to be touching the cards that he originally wrote.

00:17:27.259 --> 00:17:29.059
Let's put it that way. They got someone else

00:17:29.059 --> 00:17:31.319
to do the prints, yeah. Okay, I'm going to give

00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:33.339
you one more. So from Lightly Used, by the way,

00:17:33.420 --> 00:17:35.619
Shatter was in two Twilight Zones. And you're

00:17:35.619 --> 00:17:39.460
right. If that's Adam, you did give us that one

00:17:39.460 --> 00:17:41.509
in the group chat the other day. That's the one

00:17:41.509 --> 00:17:43.390
he said William Shatner was in and that we should

00:17:43.390 --> 00:17:46.470
watch that one. He did say that. Sorry, Adam.

00:17:46.569 --> 00:17:49.849
You're absolutely right. He did say that. Who

00:17:49.849 --> 00:17:54.269
comes face to face with a 15 years older version

00:17:54.269 --> 00:17:57.950
of himself in the Voyager episode Timeless? Ooh.

00:17:59.190 --> 00:18:01.650
Full name or you don't get credit for this one.

00:18:04.210 --> 00:18:10.859
Full name. I want his full name. As we know it.

00:18:11.900 --> 00:18:18.559
Harry Kim? No, that's not his name. It is Harry

00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:20.500
Kim. It's not his name, though, is it? He's annoyed

00:18:20.500 --> 00:18:23.920
because I've got it right. What, his full name?

00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:31.170
As we know him on this show. Oh. How dare? Oh,

00:18:31.170 --> 00:18:33.130
good. What did we used to call him? Dirty Kim.

00:18:33.390 --> 00:18:37.089
Dirty Kim. That was it. Dirty Kim, the sex pest.

00:18:37.609 --> 00:18:40.589
Yes. But then again, if you look back at TNG,

00:18:40.890 --> 00:18:44.089
Geordie was the sex pest. I wonder if Harry Kim

00:18:44.089 --> 00:18:46.490
bought his book. It's like, right, my favourite

00:18:46.490 --> 00:18:48.730
TNG actor. Right, yeah, I've got to base myself

00:18:48.730 --> 00:18:51.910
on Geordie LaForge. Who would have been the sex

00:18:51.910 --> 00:18:54.750
pest in Deep Space Nine? The Doctor was a sex

00:18:54.750 --> 00:18:55.549
pest in Deep Space Nine. Yeah, the Doctor's the

00:18:55.549 --> 00:18:58.170
sex pest. Which is not a good character to be

00:18:58.170 --> 00:19:00.730
the sex pest. And the original series was William

00:19:00.730 --> 00:19:03.670
Shatner. William Shatner. So who is it? So every

00:19:03.670 --> 00:19:07.009
series has a sex pest. So who is it in? In Enterprise,

00:19:07.190 --> 00:19:10.849
it's the Texan because he ends up pregnant, doesn't

00:19:10.849 --> 00:19:13.309
he? No, not pregnant. He ends up infected or

00:19:13.309 --> 00:19:16.079
something. He's the engineer. He's the engineer,

00:19:16.380 --> 00:19:18.319
yeah. And then, what other series have we got?

00:19:18.339 --> 00:19:20.740
We've got Strange New Worlds. Who's the sex best

00:19:20.740 --> 00:19:23.440
in Strange New Worlds? It might be Spock. He's

00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:25.059
the one shagging everyone. Yeah, you're right.

00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:28.579
Yeah, yeah, it's Spock. In Discovery, it's no

00:19:28.579 --> 00:19:32.000
one because you're not allowed to have sex. No,

00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:35.579
it would have been Tilly. That's what she's like.

00:19:35.660 --> 00:19:39.059
No, it would have been Tilly. Who would it have

00:19:39.059 --> 00:19:41.390
been? Yeah, no, the only person who's... Who's

00:19:41.390 --> 00:19:44.349
banging around in that is the captain lady and

00:19:44.349 --> 00:19:47.269
the guy that she... Well, she has two boyfriends,

00:19:47.430 --> 00:19:50.710
so that's the closest she could have. Yeah, fair

00:19:50.710 --> 00:19:54.769
enough. No more sex pests. To be fair, even I

00:19:54.769 --> 00:19:55.970
wouldn't be able to get half. This is where we

00:19:55.970 --> 00:19:58.309
knew... This is what Paramount did to Star Trek.

00:19:58.390 --> 00:20:01.009
They removed the sex pests. That's the massive

00:20:01.009 --> 00:20:04.730
failure of Paramount and Star Trek. Yeah, fair...

00:20:04.730 --> 00:20:07.730
Oh, my God, no. Even I wouldn't get half of fucking

00:20:07.730 --> 00:20:12.289
these. I won't even get a quarter of them. Right,

00:20:12.369 --> 00:20:14.930
okay. How well do you know the films? The original

00:20:14.930 --> 00:20:17.329
series films. Let's find out. In which film is

00:20:17.329 --> 00:20:20.849
Kirk reunited with his abandoned son? It's what

00:20:20.849 --> 00:20:23.049
most people consider the best of them. Oh, it's

00:20:23.049 --> 00:20:26.789
because the Bane guy plays him. No, I'm thinking

00:20:26.789 --> 00:20:29.410
of the fucking... Jesus Christ. You're thinking

00:20:29.410 --> 00:20:31.829
of the terrible Star Trek film. Oh, I don't know.

00:20:31.930 --> 00:20:36.640
Nemesis. Number three. Wrath of Khan number two.

00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:39.559
What, what? What, what? Okay. Well, we've proven

00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:42.019
that we are definitely not a Trek podcast anymore.

00:20:42.339 --> 00:20:45.740
We've never been a Trek podcast. Space might

00:20:45.740 --> 00:20:47.700
give you the horn according to likely use. More

00:20:47.700 --> 00:20:51.359
studies are needed. Gives me the horn, baby.

00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:54.059
Every episode does have a sex pest in it. Every

00:20:54.059 --> 00:20:56.720
series. Yeah, but as I said, Paramount have ruined

00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:58.400
it now. There's no more sex pest. Who's the sex

00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:01.700
pest in Lower Decks? All of them. Yeah, all of

00:21:01.700 --> 00:21:04.279
them are fucking... That shower, that one where...

00:21:06.020 --> 00:21:07.720
Is it the one where they're doing the exercise

00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:10.900
with the VR system and everyone's just having

00:21:10.900 --> 00:21:12.160
sex, aren't they? Oh, and they're all just banging.

00:21:12.380 --> 00:21:14.740
Yeah, it's so good. Anyone who hasn't seen Lower

00:21:14.740 --> 00:21:16.299
Decks, we've said it before, go fucking watch

00:21:16.299 --> 00:21:22.839
Lower Decks. Oh, absolutely. Oh, my gosh. Star

00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:27.779
Trekking across the Academyverse. Oh, dear. Okay.

00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:31.420
Like it or not, episode two and three, because

00:21:31.420 --> 00:21:32.539
the only thing you spoke, you hadn't seen two.

00:21:32.940 --> 00:21:35.200
No, so I'd only seen number one and I'd come

00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:38.000
away for it and we'd said... Spoilers, everybody.

00:21:38.099 --> 00:21:40.500
We'd not been horrendously harsh about it, but

00:21:40.500 --> 00:21:42.680
we'd said a couple of the characters we weren't

00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:46.980
that fond of and the way the first episode was

00:21:46.980 --> 00:21:48.779
done could have been chopped and changed. So

00:21:48.779 --> 00:21:53.720
we didn't need to see all of Rebel Without Clues

00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:56.289
kind of storyline. straight at the beginning

00:21:56.289 --> 00:21:57.930
they could have chopped it in and it would have

00:21:57.930 --> 00:22:00.009
made much more sense now you've seen episode

00:22:00.009 --> 00:22:02.549
two when i made the comment about the character

00:22:02.549 --> 00:22:05.109
that he could have come out to do you do you

00:22:05.109 --> 00:22:07.190
see where i'm coming from now that girl that

00:22:07.190 --> 00:22:09.990
should have been the person that moment when

00:22:09.990 --> 00:22:12.769
they're in that that kind of courtyard yeah 100

00:22:12.769 --> 00:22:18.990
so i you know i'm not gonna be a show i actually

00:22:18.990 --> 00:22:21.759
really enjoy it I don't think it's as bad as

00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:23.420
people are saying. I think people are on a hate

00:22:23.420 --> 00:22:26.339
train for it. You've got the same problem with

00:22:26.339 --> 00:22:30.059
any fandom right now, which is all of the diehard

00:22:30.059 --> 00:22:34.420
fans are just review bombing it. This, and I

00:22:34.420 --> 00:22:36.099
was thinking about this on the way over, and

00:22:36.099 --> 00:22:40.720
the best way I can describe it is you had Prodigy,

00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:43.839
which was an aim to get younger children into

00:22:43.839 --> 00:22:46.839
Star Trek. It's not working with my son, by the

00:22:46.839 --> 00:22:50.230
way. I can't even get him to turn it on. But

00:22:50.230 --> 00:22:55.970
that's just the way it is. This is how to get

00:22:55.970 --> 00:23:00.549
teenagers into Star Trek. Teenage girls. No,

00:23:00.890 --> 00:23:02.750
I don't even think it's a teenager. I think that

00:23:02.750 --> 00:23:06.250
there's a lot to it that is aimed purely at teenagers.

00:23:06.690 --> 00:23:10.710
And I'm really enjoying it. I think it's actually

00:23:10.710 --> 00:23:13.950
really pretty good now. The more I've watched

00:23:13.950 --> 00:23:16.390
of it, the more I've kind of acclimatized to

00:23:16.390 --> 00:23:19.049
the characters that are involved in it. Actually.

00:23:20.539 --> 00:23:22.380
um oh sorry i should say it like one of those

00:23:22.380 --> 00:23:25.640
horrible people like one of the actually it's

00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:27.980
really out there no i'm really quite actually

00:23:27.980 --> 00:23:31.140
getting into liking holly hunter's captain actually

00:23:31.140 --> 00:23:34.900
i'm actually quite enjoying the idea that she's

00:23:34.900 --> 00:23:37.799
only come back because of the children and the

00:23:37.799 --> 00:23:41.880
fact that so episode three introduces this well

00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:43.700
should we do episode two and then i just do it

00:23:43.700 --> 00:23:45.359
all together just make sure that they've introduced

00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:48.980
the fact that Starfleet Academy really is this

00:23:48.980 --> 00:23:50.700
brand new thing with only a couple of hundred

00:23:50.700 --> 00:23:53.880
cadets in it and what's still running is the

00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:57.339
War Academy yeah and I love that idea that actually

00:23:57.339 --> 00:24:00.079
since the burn and everything's gone wrong and

00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:01.359
they're still trying to work out how to protect

00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:02.920
themselves and make sure that they are protected

00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:05.900
that they just have a school dedicated to war

00:24:05.900 --> 00:24:10.019
and actually she's just had enough of it and

00:24:10.019 --> 00:24:12.099
she's had her 200 years that she's been alive

00:24:12.099 --> 00:24:14.619
and she's like you know what fuck this I'm just

00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:17.720
400 so i'm just really fucking chilled out now

00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:20.519
i don't really care about this and i care about

00:24:20.519 --> 00:24:22.400
the kids and making sure they get through this

00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:23.980
and that we actually start building relationships

00:24:23.980 --> 00:24:26.160
with me rather than killing everyone i think

00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:28.480
which is what it had become i get that vibe from

00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:30.660
her that yeah she's so old now she's just like

00:24:30.660 --> 00:24:33.559
gone past that kind of normal kind of things

00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:36.259
like she's like look none of this is worth it

00:24:36.259 --> 00:24:38.859
when you when you see it all from what i've seen

00:24:38.859 --> 00:24:41.099
just just trust me none of this is worth it just

00:24:41.099 --> 00:24:45.079
i just there's the things But this isn't the

00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:48.859
Star Trek I wanted. Does it mean that I dislike

00:24:48.859 --> 00:24:51.500
it? No, I actually don't mind it. I'm liking

00:24:51.500 --> 00:24:53.799
it more than I liked Discovery for the first

00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:56.200
three seasons. 100%. It's already been Discovery

00:24:56.200 --> 00:24:58.119
in my books. Which means it's not the worst Star

00:24:58.119 --> 00:25:02.319
Trek around. No. It's just, you know, the kids,

00:25:02.380 --> 00:25:05.940
it's got this Twilight element to it that I don't

00:25:05.940 --> 00:25:08.960
like. And I'm never going to get over that. And

00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:14.140
it's just like, they are the biggest... group

00:25:14.140 --> 00:25:17.980
of clever dumb people do you know what i mean

00:25:17.980 --> 00:25:22.579
like just fucking they sew up their own fucking

00:25:22.579 --> 00:25:25.940
arses and like as if those characters would act

00:25:25.940 --> 00:25:28.180
like that so that's what i get in my head like

00:25:28.180 --> 00:25:30.839
even like this is the problem isn't it no none

00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:33.319
of them until funny enough none of them till

00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:36.500
episode three so episode one and two none of

00:25:36.500 --> 00:25:39.099
them were given redeeming features no none of

00:25:39.099 --> 00:25:43.190
them um fish boy which i can't think of his name

00:25:43.190 --> 00:25:45.349
yeah i find him really annoying i think he's

00:25:45.349 --> 00:25:49.910
annoying but now they've given him some semblance

00:25:49.910 --> 00:25:55.329
of um exposition so he's basically meant to be

00:25:55.329 --> 00:25:57.349
the top of everything because that's what his

00:25:57.349 --> 00:25:59.589
family demand of him yeah and the fact that their

00:25:59.589 --> 00:26:01.690
family aren't even reading his messages that

00:26:01.690 --> 00:26:05.000
he sends back daily for them It's quite a heartbreaking

00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:06.460
thing, especially when you've got kids, you think,

00:26:06.539 --> 00:26:08.839
oh my God. It needed, he needed that. That character

00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:10.480
needed that because it was just too unlikable.

00:26:10.579 --> 00:26:14.579
To give up the captaincy for that third episode

00:26:14.579 --> 00:26:17.460
was perfect. Yes. He absolutely needed that because

00:26:17.460 --> 00:26:20.579
it's grounded him and it's now given him a story

00:26:20.579 --> 00:26:24.519
arc that actually I can vaguely care about. Lithe,

00:26:24.519 --> 00:26:26.660
I really like her. I think she's a really good

00:26:26.660 --> 00:26:28.579
character. Fucking hell, which one's that? The

00:26:28.579 --> 00:26:31.210
one with the weird eyebrows. One with a weird

00:26:31.210 --> 00:26:33.809
eye. No, I liked her the whole time. Yeah, she's

00:26:33.809 --> 00:26:36.170
been solid since episode one, actually, because

00:26:36.170 --> 00:26:39.829
she seems to be the perfect mix of trying to...

00:26:39.829 --> 00:26:43.130
It's not the only thing solid. Oh, dear. No,

00:26:43.470 --> 00:26:46.210
I'd go for the Betasoid girl. Gluing the two

00:26:46.210 --> 00:26:49.690
sides together. She's right bang in the middle.

00:26:49.710 --> 00:26:54.109
She's kind of merging the two main male characters.

00:26:54.750 --> 00:26:58.210
Yeah, yeah. And kind of helping kind of bridge

00:26:58.210 --> 00:27:02.779
them, I guess. The Batesoid storyline, really

00:27:02.779 --> 00:27:06.420
solid. Quite like the idea of it. You could see

00:27:06.420 --> 00:27:08.740
exactly where it was going. As soon as she like...

00:27:09.519 --> 00:27:11.880
raised her eyebrows at him you knew it's going

00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:14.440
to end up in she'll get in trouble there'll be

00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:16.500
this whole thing and it's almost like there's

00:27:16.500 --> 00:27:19.140
a south park episode where two homeschool kids

00:27:19.140 --> 00:27:21.819
appear in south park and they beg to be sent

00:27:21.819 --> 00:27:24.259
to the normal school yeah and then they both

00:27:24.259 --> 00:27:27.019
completely change what sort of character is an

00:27:27.019 --> 00:27:29.059
exact mirror of that but what i will say about

00:27:29.059 --> 00:27:32.680
episode two if there was an episode of star trek

00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:35.099
that's been done as fan service fuck me this

00:27:35.099 --> 00:27:37.970
is the episode yeah everything's named after

00:27:37.970 --> 00:27:40.410
characters so you've got the um tree which is

00:27:40.410 --> 00:27:44.670
named after the caretaker that picard tells wesley

00:27:44.670 --> 00:27:48.369
crusher to go boothy to go and it may even be

00:27:48.369 --> 00:27:50.970
the park that's named after him i'll go and see

00:27:50.970 --> 00:27:53.529
booth bbc looks like blah blah blah you then

00:27:53.529 --> 00:27:56.529
got um got the wall of fame yeah the wall of

00:27:56.529 --> 00:27:59.029
fame in episode one but then you've got the kirk

00:27:59.029 --> 00:28:01.549
whatever room it was the turner room whichever

00:28:01.549 --> 00:28:04.569
it was um they go and see the whales and the

00:28:04.569 --> 00:28:09.000
two humpback whales I'm surprised they just didn't

00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:11.660
go full on, that's George and Gracie, by the

00:28:11.660 --> 00:28:14.140
way. We've named them after the first two that

00:28:14.140 --> 00:28:17.339
were rescued by Captain Kirk and Leonard. I'm

00:28:17.339 --> 00:28:20.779
surprised they really didn't do that. My favorite

00:28:20.779 --> 00:28:23.960
part of episode two, though, and it did actually

00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:30.210
make me crease up, when... she walks out when

00:28:30.210 --> 00:28:31.690
she walks off from the park when they've just

00:28:31.690 --> 00:28:33.970
first met and he's climbing the fence and the

00:28:33.970 --> 00:28:36.329
two security people beam in yeah where are you

00:28:36.329 --> 00:28:40.190
going over there borg yeah and they still turn

00:28:40.190 --> 00:28:43.130
and they're gonna go for it that's brilliant

00:28:43.130 --> 00:28:46.130
even after the burn the borg are still the threat

00:28:46.130 --> 00:28:50.990
i i was surprised there's a bit that in episode

00:28:50.990 --> 00:28:53.549
three that normally so this might get me in trouble

00:28:53.549 --> 00:28:59.029
i would groan i'll just go oh here we go but

00:28:59.029 --> 00:29:02.269
it was with my two favorite characters okay to

00:29:02.269 --> 00:29:04.769
the woman who i don't but i don't know either

00:29:04.769 --> 00:29:06.990
of their names the woman who's in discovery the

00:29:06.990 --> 00:29:10.690
science lady sure he's just wicked i can't think

00:29:10.690 --> 00:29:12.930
of her name in it but yeah and the klingon cross

00:29:12.930 --> 00:29:15.970
other woman oh yeah who are in a relationship

00:29:15.970 --> 00:29:18.710
together yes and it was that interaction we were

00:29:18.710 --> 00:29:20.769
having dinners we were having to duck and now

00:29:20.769 --> 00:29:23.769
we're not having to duck yes just oh we'll take

00:29:23.769 --> 00:29:26.130
you out for dinner it's fine we're having we're

00:29:26.130 --> 00:29:29.890
going to french yeah i want this yeah they couldn't

00:29:29.890 --> 00:29:32.549
have put the two perfect characters together

00:29:32.549 --> 00:29:36.309
for comedy gold in a relationship it was brilliant

00:29:36.309 --> 00:29:38.490
because they're so polar opposite in every way

00:29:38.490 --> 00:29:41.089
like they shouldn't be in a relationship it was

00:29:41.089 --> 00:29:45.859
absolutely The dialogue for that scene was perfect.

00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:48.960
And it was so well bounced off each other. It

00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:51.259
was just so good. Because it kind of made the

00:29:51.259 --> 00:29:56.099
Klingon lady a bit pouty in her kind of... Yeah,

00:29:56.099 --> 00:29:58.640
she's stomping her feet. Like a little toddler,

00:29:58.960 --> 00:30:01.519
kind of. Whereas all the times before, she just

00:30:01.519 --> 00:30:04.559
came across as just being a really loud and angry

00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:07.319
Klingon. But yeah, this same energy, but actually

00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:10.779
paired against the Tig character, yeah, was a

00:30:10.779 --> 00:30:12.779
bit like a toddler having a tantrum. Yeah. You

00:30:12.779 --> 00:30:14.839
weren't there, Daddy. Why were you not there,

00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:18.700
Daddy? We've been there. Oh, I want macaroni

00:30:18.700 --> 00:30:21.420
cheese, Daddy. Now, going back to episode two.

00:30:22.079 --> 00:30:25.420
I doubt it is, but did you spot the Red Dwarf

00:30:25.420 --> 00:30:30.039
reference? No. Maybe at the time. He's in the

00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:32.059
office getting told off by Holly Hunter, the

00:30:32.059 --> 00:30:33.940
rebel without a clue. I've forgotten what his

00:30:33.940 --> 00:30:40.319
name is. Jacob? Jed? Jed? Jed? We'll stick with

00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:43.559
Barry. And he's getting told off and he's like,

00:30:43.640 --> 00:30:47.460
I'm not here for this. I've got to get that replicator

00:30:47.460 --> 00:30:49.599
fixed as well. The soup was cold. And she turns

00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:51.940
around and says, it was gazpacho. It's meant

00:30:51.940 --> 00:30:55.359
to be so. That is Red Dwarf. I do wonder if that's

00:30:55.359 --> 00:30:58.079
a whole because of Rimmer bringing him his piping

00:30:58.079 --> 00:31:01.220
hot bowl of gazpacho soup and it's meant to be

00:31:01.220 --> 00:31:05.039
served cold. So I do wonder if that was a little

00:31:05.039 --> 00:31:08.539
throwback to that one. Because as if they're

00:31:08.539 --> 00:31:11.880
still eating gazpacho soup. So episode three,

00:31:12.019 --> 00:31:14.839
are they Vulcans? Are they Romulans? Is that

00:31:14.839 --> 00:31:16.819
a Vulcan and a Romulan in the War Academy? Because

00:31:16.819 --> 00:31:18.880
if they are, they're certainly letting their

00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:22.539
emotions go. Yeah, I think one of them is certainly,

00:31:22.700 --> 00:31:25.380
the boy's a Vulcan. Yeah, and he's a bit more

00:31:25.380 --> 00:31:27.519
held back. She's a lot more fiery, so I'm guessing

00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:29.000
she's a Romulan. Yeah, I think he was a Vulcan

00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:32.029
because he did... He was still being an asshole,

00:31:32.170 --> 00:31:34.910
but it was like logical assholery. Yes. Because

00:31:34.910 --> 00:31:37.549
in his head, he's like, no, this is a great chance

00:31:37.549 --> 00:31:41.029
for me to try and manipulate these people or

00:31:41.029 --> 00:31:43.269
whatever. Whereas her, she was just being a bitch.

00:31:43.410 --> 00:31:46.540
Yep. Which seems pretty Romulan to me. Yeah,

00:31:46.540 --> 00:31:49.119
absolutely. Based on the TNG Romulans. I like

00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:51.019
the human that was with them. The human lad.

00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:53.099
When they threw them on the stairs talking to

00:31:53.099 --> 00:31:55.220
the Klingon, which was a very funny scene. Yeah.

00:31:55.259 --> 00:31:58.119
When he's trying to do jokes. I heard a Klingon

00:31:58.119 --> 00:32:00.279
joke the other day. I must share with you. Oh

00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:02.299
God, what was the joke? Because it was so funny.

00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:05.240
Because the end of it was like, they don't say

00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:08.259
that, they scream. Wait, there is something in

00:32:08.259 --> 00:32:13.569
my... They're screaming. It's such a weird one.

00:32:13.569 --> 00:32:17.230
It was actually a very funny joke. I almost thought,

00:32:17.470 --> 00:32:20.289
calling it now, there's going to be a love interest

00:32:20.289 --> 00:32:22.809
between that lad and that Klingon. It already

00:32:22.809 --> 00:32:26.970
is. I think it's episode four. Oh, okay. Why

00:32:26.970 --> 00:32:33.710
is the hologram character exercising? I don't

00:32:33.710 --> 00:32:36.009
know. They certainly used her as a hologram when

00:32:36.009 --> 00:32:38.289
she needed to get shot. Yeah, they used her as

00:32:38.289 --> 00:32:39.789
a hologram then. And then what made me laugh

00:32:39.789 --> 00:32:43.319
as well is, Why have you custom made her her

00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:47.400
own jacket? Surely if she's a hologram, you just

00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:51.700
program it. Oh, fuck those. Anyway. Yeah, the

00:32:51.700 --> 00:32:54.440
hologram bit is, that's my thing that I still

00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:58.200
think is the down point of it, is that character

00:32:58.200 --> 00:33:00.539
is basically, you're just going to use it all.

00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:03.039
The Doctor was amazing with his singing, by the

00:33:03.039 --> 00:33:05.619
way. Love that. Yeah, he's great. I just want

00:33:05.619 --> 00:33:08.740
to... uh kind of apologize to the actress who

00:33:08.740 --> 00:33:11.259
does play the hologram whereas before i just

00:33:11.259 --> 00:33:13.880
kind of thought as oh she's the the chubby character

00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:15.960
over there actually she's not she's a fucking

00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:19.579
unit as oh yeah unit as in muscly oh yeah she's

00:33:19.579 --> 00:33:21.240
like clearly does like some kind of they're all

00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:24.299
fucking muscly clearly she does like some kind

00:33:24.299 --> 00:33:26.799
of um deadlifts and stuff like that just looking

00:33:26.799 --> 00:33:28.980
at her shape because when she was in the outfit

00:33:28.980 --> 00:33:31.119
for that it's like she's like a triangle Yeah.

00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:33.079
And because they only ever show the top half

00:33:33.079 --> 00:33:35.200
of her, she just looks like this kind of stubby

00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:38.099
little... No, she's not. No, no, no. So good

00:33:38.099 --> 00:33:41.660
on her. But yeah, she's the Tilly. She's the

00:33:41.660 --> 00:33:44.259
Tilly of Starfleet Academy and I can't stand

00:33:44.259 --> 00:33:46.359
her. It's annoying. It's not the actress's fault.

00:33:46.720 --> 00:33:48.519
No, it's not. Not that she's ever going to listen

00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:50.519
to this. It's the character and how the character's

00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:51.420
been written annoyingly. Yeah, she's probably

00:33:51.420 --> 00:33:53.480
doing it exactly how they ask. Anyway, we've

00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:55.160
spoken enough about this. I think it is good.

00:33:55.599 --> 00:33:57.839
Yeah, I agree. It's not rubbish. I would like

00:33:57.839 --> 00:33:59.660
it to be different. I would like it to be better.

00:33:59.950 --> 00:34:01.809
But I'm watching it and I'm going to watch it

00:34:01.809 --> 00:34:04.309
to the end. Yeah, I am. And it's been scheduled

00:34:04.309 --> 00:34:08.130
for series two. So obviously the negative reviews

00:34:08.130 --> 00:34:10.250
are just review bombs. Yeah. Well, as we said

00:34:10.250 --> 00:34:13.010
last time, Stranger News is going to go to five.

00:34:13.050 --> 00:34:14.690
I think this will do two and then that'll be

00:34:14.690 --> 00:34:22.010
it. Probably. But give it a try. Come on then.

00:34:22.050 --> 00:34:24.289
Apart from the obvious thing that I know you've

00:34:24.289 --> 00:34:26.130
been up to, which we'll get to at the end because

00:34:26.130 --> 00:34:27.489
we're both going to talk about it. What have

00:34:27.489 --> 00:34:30.909
you been doing? uh right let's see uh come on

00:34:30.909 --> 00:34:35.429
k and jem and i partly joined in uh k has now

00:34:35.429 --> 00:34:38.650
watched all the hunger games films not the prequels

00:34:38.650 --> 00:34:40.210
uh but she is going to watch that because she

00:34:40.210 --> 00:34:41.829
wants to see the new one at the cinema this summer

00:34:41.829 --> 00:34:45.789
um k did the typical teenage child thing which

00:34:45.789 --> 00:34:48.809
is i'm not watching i'm not interested and then

00:34:48.809 --> 00:34:51.190
just looked at her tablet looked up Tablet, looked

00:34:51.190 --> 00:34:54.590
up, tablet, tablet got turned off, and now she's

00:34:54.590 --> 00:34:57.210
claimed it's her favourite all -time film. She's

00:34:57.210 --> 00:35:00.389
watched through it twice now. Nice. And she's

00:35:00.389 --> 00:35:03.269
said already, that's my Halloween costume for

00:35:03.269 --> 00:35:07.030
this year. Oh, wicked. So it's pretty ingrained

00:35:07.030 --> 00:35:08.769
in her, but Gem's just started her on Twilight,

00:35:08.969 --> 00:35:10.510
so I'm definitely not joining in on that one.

00:35:10.769 --> 00:35:14.269
Twilight doesn't get quote -unquote good until

00:35:14.269 --> 00:35:19.400
the last two. And there's a half... slightly

00:35:19.400 --> 00:35:21.519
resembles a good scene where they all fight.

00:35:22.500 --> 00:35:25.099
That's it. Yeah. That's it. The rest of it is

00:35:25.099 --> 00:35:27.820
trash. I think the only reason you could possibly

00:35:27.820 --> 00:35:30.119
even get me to watch it is because Michael Sheen's

00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:32.619
in it. And I think he doesn't turn up to the

00:35:32.619 --> 00:35:34.920
last couple of films, like you say. I don't know

00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:36.579
how often he's in it. No, I think he might be

00:35:36.579 --> 00:35:39.599
in it very briefly before because he's in charge

00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:42.079
of the vampire court. Right, okay. So I think

00:35:42.079 --> 00:35:45.309
he might be in and about. Fine, okay. I'll stick

00:35:45.309 --> 00:35:47.250
with watching Passengers where he's just a bartender.

00:35:47.789 --> 00:35:51.090
Otherwise, I can't remember if I told... He's

00:35:51.090 --> 00:35:52.570
a bartender in something else too, by the way.

00:35:52.670 --> 00:35:54.789
Probably. A robot bartender in another thing.

00:35:55.050 --> 00:35:58.289
Oh. I think he's in... He's typecast then. Yeah,

00:35:58.289 --> 00:36:01.630
I think he's a robot bartender in Altered Carbon.

00:36:02.819 --> 00:36:05.059
Right. Maybe not. Someone can correct me on that.

00:36:05.260 --> 00:36:07.420
Adam, correct me. Can't remember if I've said

00:36:07.420 --> 00:36:10.460
I've seen this, but 28 years later, The Bone

00:36:10.460 --> 00:36:12.059
Temple, I did a few weeks ago. I can't remember

00:36:12.059 --> 00:36:13.539
if we said it on the show, so I'm not going to

00:36:13.539 --> 00:36:15.639
go into that. We did, because we spoke about

00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:17.699
the thing, the zombie with a massive cock. There

00:36:17.699 --> 00:36:20.539
we go. Yes, we did. Saw Iron Lung at the cinema.

00:36:20.619 --> 00:36:22.900
Yes. Now, I had no idea what the game was about,

00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:29.190
so I went into it completely blind. Now... are

00:36:29.190 --> 00:36:31.429
you looking forward to seeing it or are you planning

00:36:31.429 --> 00:36:33.550
on seeing it? Yeah, I plan on seeing it. Fine,

00:36:33.630 --> 00:36:36.289
so I won't do any spoilers. All I can say is

00:36:36.289 --> 00:36:39.670
from the discussion that I had with Sudo who

00:36:39.670 --> 00:36:41.590
came with me to see it. Yeah, what did they think?

00:36:42.110 --> 00:36:45.329
They enjoyed it as well. But what they've said

00:36:45.329 --> 00:36:51.550
is the game got an expansion called Lore, which

00:36:51.550 --> 00:36:55.340
basically expanded on the story. you you get

00:36:55.340 --> 00:36:59.840
thrown into the film immediately with maybe 60

00:36:59.840 --> 00:37:03.619
seconds of speech explaining what's kind of not

00:37:03.619 --> 00:37:06.900
even what's going on just this has happened and

00:37:06.900 --> 00:37:10.440
then it is basically the game from what i've

00:37:10.440 --> 00:37:13.099
kind of an expansion on the game very little

00:37:13.099 --> 00:37:15.659
more to do with the story in it and for me i

00:37:15.659 --> 00:37:18.420
enjoyed the film but i would have loved to have

00:37:18.420 --> 00:37:22.679
had maybe 10 minutes of just maybe seeing that

00:37:22.679 --> 00:37:25.719
the silent um what did they call it the silent

00:37:25.719 --> 00:37:30.559
uh oh shit i can't remember what what do they

00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:34.199
call it when the christians believe when everyone

00:37:34.199 --> 00:37:38.820
gets is it the reap uh reaped no uh oh well when

00:37:38.820 --> 00:37:40.679
everyone gets sent off to heaven when everyone

00:37:40.679 --> 00:37:44.829
gets sucked up into the sky to burn oh I know,

00:37:44.849 --> 00:37:47.510
my brain's gone completely... Yeah, the rapture.

00:37:47.650 --> 00:37:49.690
The silent rapture is what they call it in Ireland.

00:37:49.769 --> 00:37:52.690
I would have liked 10 minutes of seeing that

00:37:52.690 --> 00:37:55.090
and then seeing the ships floating around looking

00:37:55.090 --> 00:37:58.210
at these desolate moons fighting and scrapping

00:37:58.210 --> 00:38:01.769
and whatever. You don't get that. But it's not

00:38:01.769 --> 00:38:04.050
bad. I enjoyed it. I watched Markiplier talk

00:38:04.050 --> 00:38:09.289
about it yesterday because he wrote it, he financed

00:38:09.289 --> 00:38:11.789
it, he directed it, he acted in it. I think he

00:38:11.789 --> 00:38:14.760
did a lot of the 3D graphics himself. uh he put

00:38:14.760 --> 00:38:17.000
a lot of money into it um he's done things like

00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:19.360
so he could only afford i think to have it in

00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:22.000
cinemas for one weekend that's it yeah it was

00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:24.400
all self -funded and a lot of the things in america

00:38:24.400 --> 00:38:27.000
he comped all of the food for people in some

00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:28.639
of the cinemas so if you went somewhere to see

00:38:28.639 --> 00:38:30.059
it you didn't have to pay for any of the food

00:38:30.059 --> 00:38:32.099
he comped it all because he was trying to get

00:38:32.099 --> 00:38:35.820
people to go and the bad thing for him i feel

00:38:35.820 --> 00:38:37.840
very sorry for him he's getting fucked over by

00:38:37.840 --> 00:38:41.320
hollywood he was the number one selling film

00:38:41.320 --> 00:38:45.329
that weekend yep but That other film came out

00:38:45.329 --> 00:38:48.570
that weekend as well. That horror film. It's

00:38:48.570 --> 00:38:51.489
not called Get Out. It's called like She Something

00:38:51.489 --> 00:38:56.750
or whatever. And you look up Iron DB. It's the

00:38:56.750 --> 00:38:59.210
top film here at the moment. Basically, they've

00:38:59.210 --> 00:39:01.829
taken him off the charts. So certain charts you'll

00:39:01.829 --> 00:39:04.730
go and you'll see his film number one. Yeah.

00:39:04.809 --> 00:39:08.610
But some of the other main charts aren't listing

00:39:08.610 --> 00:39:12.130
him at all. His film at all as being on the charts.

00:39:13.840 --> 00:39:16.800
no it's uh return to silent hell no that's apparently

00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:20.000
trash no it's oh my gosh i'm not gonna be able

00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:22.460
to cut this because send help oh no that's not

00:39:22.460 --> 00:39:26.199
being that's tv that is send help isn't it oh

00:39:26.199 --> 00:39:27.940
maybe it's send help then yeah i think it's send

00:39:27.940 --> 00:39:30.300
help because that only just came out yeah either

00:39:30.300 --> 00:39:32.659
way i know it deserves a lot more love than it

00:39:32.659 --> 00:39:35.440
got i really really but he was very like he was

00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:37.039
crying in the video i think because he's just

00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:40.170
like you know for a for a moment even if it was

00:39:40.170 --> 00:39:42.349
just one day i know that i was the number one

00:39:42.349 --> 00:39:45.409
film in america yeah and i think that is wicked

00:39:45.409 --> 00:39:47.789
yeah no absolutely and it deserves it it was

00:39:47.789 --> 00:39:50.630
an enjoyable film um i'm glad it's not rubbish

00:39:50.630 --> 00:39:53.789
no it's not i will warn you that if you're not

00:39:53.789 --> 00:39:55.690
the sort of person that can enjoy watching a

00:39:55.690 --> 00:39:58.289
film that is one person on screen and one person

00:39:58.289 --> 00:40:02.150
on his own uh with only the voices of other people

00:40:02.150 --> 00:40:05.070
i like it i think i think i'd have a problem

00:40:05.070 --> 00:40:09.210
with that well it's a bit um tom hanks and the

00:40:09.210 --> 00:40:12.389
whatever it is cast away you're on your own sort

00:40:12.389 --> 00:40:15.469
of thing and you know yeah it's i enjoyed it

00:40:15.469 --> 00:40:17.650
i could have done with a bit more story to it

00:40:17.650 --> 00:40:20.510
maybe a bit more exposition but i know i enjoyed

00:40:20.510 --> 00:40:24.210
it it was good um otherwise the only other bits

00:40:24.210 --> 00:40:27.590
i've got really to talk about are uh i re -watched

00:40:27.590 --> 00:40:30.570
the disney terrible sci -fi film that's really

00:40:30.570 --> 00:40:34.880
dark called the black hole um it's great sci

00:40:34.880 --> 00:40:38.679
-fi but it's trash as well uh and then talking

00:40:38.679 --> 00:40:41.880
about trash Smallville is on Netflix. So I thought,

00:40:41.900 --> 00:40:43.800
you know what? Oh, don't fucking get me started

00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:45.760
on Smallville. I haven't watched it since I was,

00:40:45.860 --> 00:40:47.880
when it first came out. I'll give this a try.

00:40:47.900 --> 00:40:49.739
I've watched the first two episodes. Oh, this

00:40:49.739 --> 00:40:52.840
is bad. Miranda is watching it now. It's on Netflix.

00:40:52.940 --> 00:40:55.460
This would be the third time or fourth time she's

00:40:55.460 --> 00:40:56.920
watched the entire series all the way through.

00:40:57.519 --> 00:41:00.260
Just don't get me started. I think the show isn't

00:41:00.260 --> 00:41:03.059
good until the very last series. And even then,

00:41:03.119 --> 00:41:05.559
I'll only look over my shoulder at it. Yeah,

00:41:05.619 --> 00:41:07.440
but maybe it's because I know the end is near.

00:41:07.599 --> 00:41:10.909
Do you know what I mean? um obviously what we

00:41:10.909 --> 00:41:12.449
were talking about uh the other one though is

00:41:12.449 --> 00:41:16.289
goat simulator being still playing t is obsessed

00:41:16.289 --> 00:41:19.730
with it after nursery he has to play it we have

00:41:19.730 --> 00:41:24.250
to play it almost every day um and we've got

00:41:24.250 --> 00:41:28.809
all the trophies like used pod somebody save

00:41:28.809 --> 00:41:34.429
me yeah um we've got all the trophies we've done

00:41:34.429 --> 00:41:36.690
all the car ramps we've done all the events we've

00:41:36.690 --> 00:41:39.570
done all the quests we have 100 percent of that

00:41:39.570 --> 00:41:42.750
game how dude how can you there's so now on the

00:41:42.750 --> 00:41:46.610
dlc there's so much to do we're now on the dlc

00:41:46.610 --> 00:41:50.489
and the dlc we got we decided to do the multiverse

00:41:50.489 --> 00:41:53.510
of whatever it's called oh god and the first

00:41:53.510 --> 00:41:55.929
five minutes of it so he's like i don't like

00:41:55.929 --> 00:41:58.230
this daddy because it's literally just a cut

00:41:58.230 --> 00:42:03.360
scene and it's the train from half -life that's

00:42:03.360 --> 00:42:06.139
it's the train and you're seeing all these weird

00:42:06.139 --> 00:42:08.820
things going on around and then the first five

00:42:08.820 --> 00:42:11.940
minutes of gameplay yeah is you going down to

00:42:11.940 --> 00:42:14.500
the test bed and you're pushing it in into the

00:42:14.500 --> 00:42:18.400
same machine exactly the same scientist you get

00:42:18.400 --> 00:42:22.440
a little um they call it the get the hev suit

00:42:22.440 --> 00:42:26.170
so you get your own goat one yeah and then this

00:42:26.170 --> 00:42:28.429
multiverse and it's really weird so there's this

00:42:28.429 --> 00:42:30.889
comic world where everyone is a cartoon that

00:42:30.889 --> 00:42:35.849
looks like um disney and there's a giant um scrooge

00:42:35.849 --> 00:42:38.969
mcduck style house which you one of the challenges

00:42:38.969 --> 00:42:40.789
you get up to the top you jump in and it's just

00:42:40.789 --> 00:42:44.010
full of gold like in um duck tales and when you

00:42:44.010 --> 00:42:47.610
do you jump in and it's like broken every bone

00:42:47.610 --> 00:42:50.289
challenge and then you get given a net brace

00:42:50.289 --> 00:42:54.409
and your body's all in bandages um but then there's

00:42:54.409 --> 00:42:58.829
like a entire greek one a greek part of the city

00:42:58.829 --> 00:43:01.550
there's a cowboy part of the city uh there's

00:43:01.550 --> 00:43:04.650
a normal city that everyone's human but goats

00:43:04.650 --> 00:43:08.369
so is it it's a complete it's two player you're

00:43:08.369 --> 00:43:10.190
playing you can have up to four players so you

00:43:10.190 --> 00:43:13.050
have a goat each yeah you and it's it's split

00:43:13.050 --> 00:43:16.519
screen oh right so we play it split screens you

00:43:16.519 --> 00:43:18.519
and t could play split screen but you could actually

00:43:18.519 --> 00:43:21.699
join our game we could do four player goat simulator

00:43:21.699 --> 00:43:25.519
maybe we'll have to try that so you don't have

00:43:25.519 --> 00:43:27.099
to stay near each other you can go off is that

00:43:27.099 --> 00:43:29.739
what you do you just let him one off well he's

00:43:29.739 --> 00:43:33.639
obsessed with having to be wherever i am which

00:43:33.639 --> 00:43:36.909
is just how he is and then yeah he kind of constantly

00:43:36.909 --> 00:43:38.969
headbutts me but as i've unlocked everything

00:43:38.969 --> 00:43:43.250
um in the main game his favorite is the firework

00:43:43.250 --> 00:43:45.210
launcher because he says i'm sending them all

00:43:45.210 --> 00:43:47.030
to space and you fire it into someone you just

00:43:47.030 --> 00:43:48.849
see them disappearing up into the sky and explode

00:43:48.849 --> 00:43:50.949
into fireworks he's quite good at moving the

00:43:50.949 --> 00:43:53.510
character around not bad now first few days when

00:43:53.510 --> 00:43:55.530
he was playing it he really got the ass with

00:43:55.530 --> 00:43:57.650
it but no he's worked it out now i've given the

00:43:57.650 --> 00:43:59.550
smaller controller the controller helps yeah

00:43:59.550 --> 00:44:02.969
my tea can't figure out the camera controls so

00:44:02.969 --> 00:44:07.599
he plays spider -man one on the ps5 yeah he just

00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:09.800
swings around he loves going oh daddy look look

00:44:09.800 --> 00:44:11.500
here's the avengers and he comes at the avengers

00:44:11.500 --> 00:44:13.900
he can do all the swinging can do all the moves

00:44:13.900 --> 00:44:17.400
and stuff but he can't he hasn't figured out

00:44:17.400 --> 00:44:19.679
the camera how to wiggle the camera around that's

00:44:19.679 --> 00:44:23.760
what he struggles with yeah i mean that's what

00:44:23.760 --> 00:44:27.340
t does he sorts out the camera then moves around

00:44:27.340 --> 00:44:30.000
then changes the camera then moves around he'll

00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:32.929
get there he'll get there So we won't talk about

00:44:32.929 --> 00:44:36.989
Hytale just yet. No, but that's me. That is me.

00:44:37.090 --> 00:44:38.949
So we'll hand over to you now. Let's move this

00:44:38.949 --> 00:44:46.130
on. What have you been up to, Rob? Because of

00:44:46.130 --> 00:44:47.829
something that we're about to talk about has

00:44:47.829 --> 00:44:50.210
taken over my life completely. From the last

00:44:50.210 --> 00:44:55.150
time that we recorded, I've started watching...

00:44:55.150 --> 00:44:57.190
Jeez, I've instantly forgotten. It's fucking

00:44:57.190 --> 00:45:01.099
cool. Useless. Landman. Yeah, I'm really tempted

00:45:01.099 --> 00:45:03.559
by watching it because I non -stop stop getting

00:45:03.559 --> 00:45:06.800
clips of it on TikTok. Yeah. And I like Billy

00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:10.059
Bob Thornton. Yeah, and Ali Lata, isn't it? Oh,

00:45:10.059 --> 00:45:13.219
God. I tried to watch Tulsa King or whatever

00:45:13.219 --> 00:45:16.159
it was called, which was the Sylvester Stallone

00:45:16.159 --> 00:45:17.539
one. Yeah, I've not tried that yet. Didn't get

00:45:17.539 --> 00:45:19.780
on with it. Didn't get on with it. Not my cup

00:45:19.780 --> 00:45:22.139
of tea, I'm afraid. But yeah, it is really good.

00:45:22.219 --> 00:45:24.739
I think I'm on episode four now. It's great.

00:45:26.139 --> 00:45:27.719
kind of having it on the background whilst doing

00:45:27.719 --> 00:45:29.739
other things. So I'm not really sat there watching

00:45:29.739 --> 00:45:32.320
it. But it's kind of one of those things that

00:45:32.320 --> 00:45:35.119
you can move, look at it, go away. When there's

00:45:35.119 --> 00:45:37.079
a bit too much exposition for what I'm in the

00:45:37.079 --> 00:45:39.099
mood for right now, I can do other things. Normally

00:45:39.099 --> 00:45:43.380
because I'm playing Hytale. And that's pretty

00:45:43.380 --> 00:45:47.559
much all I've done. That's it. Other than I have

00:45:47.559 --> 00:45:52.079
update on the USS Sitjo. You've read the script

00:45:52.079 --> 00:45:54.860
that I've got so far. It does exist. I'm not

00:45:54.860 --> 00:45:56.760
lying. Yeah, there is one coming soon. I have

00:45:56.760 --> 00:45:59.659
written something and it's been briefly looked

00:45:59.659 --> 00:46:03.579
at. So that will come soon. Will Trek Relay ever

00:46:03.579 --> 00:46:06.639
make a comeback? Oh, fuck no. You only remember

00:46:06.639 --> 00:46:10.039
that because I mentioned it. Probably not at

00:46:10.039 --> 00:46:11.980
the moment because I just don't have the time

00:46:11.980 --> 00:46:16.800
or the energy to. No, I agree. There's too much.

00:46:17.139 --> 00:46:20.820
So if people didn't watch the Trek show. when

00:46:20.820 --> 00:46:23.619
this was called the Untitled Trek Show, the idea

00:46:23.619 --> 00:46:28.119
was Trek Roulette was going to be, you had a

00:46:28.119 --> 00:46:30.579
website, SideQuest Mark made a site for it and

00:46:30.579 --> 00:46:32.139
everything. Spreadsheet, yeah. Yeah, you press

00:46:32.139 --> 00:46:34.599
this button, it generates characters from Star

00:46:34.599 --> 00:46:38.980
Trek, a series to use, and then a plot point,

00:46:39.099 --> 00:46:43.239
and then a antagonist, random antagonist. And

00:46:43.239 --> 00:46:47.559
you had to, a guest would then write. a comedy

00:46:47.559 --> 00:46:50.579
sketch with all those things using my character

00:46:50.579 --> 00:46:52.320
your character and another character for them

00:46:52.320 --> 00:46:56.260
to act out and here's the cat uh and so they

00:46:56.260 --> 00:46:57.980
would you know they'd come and we'd talk about

00:46:57.980 --> 00:47:00.239
it we'd generate it and then a week later they'd

00:47:00.239 --> 00:47:02.880
come back it just never happened because it's

00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:04.360
i've got to edit the whole fucking thing i just

00:47:04.360 --> 00:47:07.659
you know i've got time at the moment so maybe

00:47:07.659 --> 00:47:10.460
one day that will appear but anyway that's a

00:47:10.460 --> 00:47:15.719
complete side note um yeah so We can talk about

00:47:15.719 --> 00:47:17.880
it now. We've both been playing along with Mark

00:47:17.880 --> 00:47:20.599
Hytale. Yes. And if people don't know what Hytale

00:47:20.599 --> 00:47:22.980
is, if you've ever played Minecraft, imagine

00:47:22.980 --> 00:47:26.860
that. But better. But more. I think that's the

00:47:26.860 --> 00:47:29.880
right thing to say. It's more. Minecraft Plus.

00:47:30.300 --> 00:47:33.380
People call it Minecraft 2. Yeah. So what is

00:47:33.380 --> 00:47:37.199
Hytale? It's made by the people who made a mod

00:47:37.199 --> 00:47:39.699
for Minecraft, which is called Hytale. It had

00:47:39.699 --> 00:47:41.659
a server. It apparently is the most popular server,

00:47:41.840 --> 00:47:44.630
like private server that... was on minecraft

00:47:44.630 --> 00:47:46.989
ever that guy made a shitload of money for it

00:47:46.989 --> 00:47:49.210
um and they decided they were going to make their

00:47:49.210 --> 00:47:51.769
own game which they started doing after a couple

00:47:51.769 --> 00:47:54.349
years development they were then brought by riot

00:47:54.349 --> 00:47:57.550
games and then it spent the next six years in

00:47:57.550 --> 00:48:00.110
development hell to which point all the original

00:48:00.110 --> 00:48:02.929
people either got pushed out or fired and then

00:48:02.929 --> 00:48:07.090
a company i don't think it was netease or 10

00:48:07.090 --> 00:48:09.809
10 cent or someone someone like that brought

00:48:09.809 --> 00:48:15.110
riot and Hytale was one of the games they cancelled.

00:48:15.969 --> 00:48:18.550
So what happened then was this guy, I wouldn't

00:48:18.550 --> 00:48:20.309
say his name's Simon. I think that's what his

00:48:20.309 --> 00:48:22.849
name is. He went to Riot and said, can I buy

00:48:22.849 --> 00:48:24.909
it back? And they said, all right, 25 million

00:48:24.909 --> 00:48:27.849
pound later, he brought it back again. And then

00:48:27.849 --> 00:48:32.050
he rolled it all the way back to before Riot

00:48:32.050 --> 00:48:34.829
brought it. Because apparently it was going in

00:48:34.829 --> 00:48:36.889
a direction he didn't want it to go anyway. And

00:48:36.889 --> 00:48:39.969
then after two weeks of having it, released it.

00:48:40.090 --> 00:48:42.429
So he basically rolled it all the way back, fixed

00:48:42.429 --> 00:48:45.449
it. released it and he's made all his money back

00:48:45.449 --> 00:48:48.329
already and he's hired all the original staff

00:48:48.329 --> 00:48:51.030
back and all the people making these mods that

00:48:51.030 --> 00:48:52.530
we've been using loads of yeah they're all getting

00:48:52.530 --> 00:48:55.750
hired to be full -time staff members so it's

00:48:55.750 --> 00:48:58.449
um pre -alpha at the moment yeah and it's about

00:48:58.449 --> 00:49:00.829
23 if you just want the basic version with no

00:49:00.829 --> 00:49:03.070
additional skins obviously if you want to support

00:49:03.070 --> 00:49:05.610
the projects if you pay more you're getting skins

00:49:05.610 --> 00:49:08.570
which really are pointless they should be pennies

00:49:08.570 --> 00:49:10.989
really but that money is going towards development

00:49:10.989 --> 00:49:13.329
costs so if you you want to dedicate that much

00:49:13.329 --> 00:49:16.730
to it yeah go for it but um you introduced me

00:49:16.730 --> 00:49:19.570
to it and i looked at on your screen that doesn't

00:49:19.570 --> 00:49:21.429
look really nice i mean the fact that you've

00:49:21.429 --> 00:49:23.469
got things like proper furniture which minecraft

00:49:23.469 --> 00:49:27.269
still hasn't done um and bits and pieces like

00:49:27.269 --> 00:49:28.929
that so for those of you that like the creative

00:49:28.929 --> 00:49:30.789
side of it building a house and everything like

00:49:30.789 --> 00:49:34.150
that this is the game for you but even the adventuring

00:49:34.150 --> 00:49:36.730
side of it and we've chatted online when we've

00:49:36.730 --> 00:49:41.329
been playing it um i believe you said the random

00:49:41.329 --> 00:49:44.590
generation of the mines and the dungeons is like

00:49:44.590 --> 00:49:47.230
nothing we have ever seen yeah it's not like

00:49:47.230 --> 00:49:50.110
the minecraft ones where you might get a long

00:49:50.110 --> 00:49:53.989
strip of mine train and a couple of little kind

00:49:53.989 --> 00:49:57.280
of bits and pieces left and right off it you

00:49:57.280 --> 00:50:02.800
get fully featured dungeons and even on the top

00:50:02.800 --> 00:50:04.659
of the world we're not underground you get entire

00:50:04.659 --> 00:50:08.460
civilizations built proper villages that are

00:50:08.460 --> 00:50:10.900
functioning houses that are different each time

00:50:10.900 --> 00:50:13.639
we found a shipyard the other day yeah which

00:50:13.639 --> 00:50:15.780
we just weren't expecting well i was just walking

00:50:15.780 --> 00:50:17.780
through the wilderness and then found kind of

00:50:17.780 --> 00:50:20.659
like this kind of like basically a big hole in

00:50:20.659 --> 00:50:22.460
the ground with a waterfall going into it so

00:50:22.460 --> 00:50:24.690
i followed it down And at the bottom of it was

00:50:24.690 --> 00:50:27.530
this really fancy looking kind of door. I opened

00:50:27.530 --> 00:50:30.590
it and it was basically a wizard's hideaway with

00:50:30.590 --> 00:50:33.769
books all over the walls and chandeliers and

00:50:33.769 --> 00:50:36.050
like loads of stuff. And it was like potions

00:50:36.050 --> 00:50:38.389
everywhere. Clearly it was like a wizard's hideout

00:50:38.389 --> 00:50:41.369
underground. It's like just walking in the forest.

00:50:41.530 --> 00:50:43.809
But so if anyone's ever played a lot of Minecraft

00:50:43.809 --> 00:50:45.750
and remember when they brought out, it might've

00:50:45.750 --> 00:50:48.349
been the bedrock version of it, which is when

00:50:48.349 --> 00:50:50.690
they brought in like the caverns. So the big

00:50:50.690 --> 00:50:53.920
splits in the ground and that. when it came out

00:50:53.920 --> 00:50:56.420
of minecraft was like oh my god this is incredible

00:50:56.420 --> 00:50:58.400
this is what it always should have been that's

00:50:58.400 --> 00:51:01.400
what this is constantly you get those moments

00:51:01.400 --> 00:51:04.360
constantly mark and i spent like what an hour

00:51:04.360 --> 00:51:10.980
in a really well well made proper dungeon the

00:51:10.980 --> 00:51:13.900
other day um in something that you would think

00:51:13.900 --> 00:51:16.500
was handcrafted but it's not it's auto -generated

00:51:16.500 --> 00:51:19.599
it had like prison cells with mobs in it like

00:51:19.599 --> 00:51:21.920
like spiders that these people have already captured

00:51:21.920 --> 00:51:24.789
yeah hidden like after a while we realized that

00:51:24.789 --> 00:51:26.570
certain platforms you could destroy there's hidden

00:51:26.570 --> 00:51:32.210
chests filled with actually useful stuff um bosses

00:51:32.210 --> 00:51:35.650
like enemies waiting for you and hiding and things

00:51:35.650 --> 00:51:38.570
loads of stuff and to be fair to it as well a

00:51:38.570 --> 00:51:41.429
bit unlike again this is unlike minecraft where

00:51:41.429 --> 00:51:44.349
minecraft you walk around the corner oh shit

00:51:44.349 --> 00:51:47.849
it's creeper bang boom dead yeah this feels like

00:51:47.849 --> 00:51:50.789
if you die you don't feel like you've been unfairly

00:51:50.789 --> 00:51:53.389
treated you feel like no i had every chance to

00:51:53.389 --> 00:51:56.690
turn and run or fight and i've just done this

00:51:56.690 --> 00:52:00.769
badly you can beat really difficult enemies if

00:52:00.769 --> 00:52:03.389
you're careful with your blocking yeah be patient

00:52:03.389 --> 00:52:07.230
just whip down and move yeah and move around

00:52:07.230 --> 00:52:11.809
in minecraft it's like you will win as long as

00:52:11.809 --> 00:52:14.610
you've got the better armor that's it If you

00:52:14.610 --> 00:52:16.630
come up against a difficult enemy and you don't

00:52:16.630 --> 00:52:19.409
have potions, you're dead. Yeah, 100%. In this,

00:52:19.469 --> 00:52:21.650
as long as you've got a shield and a sword and

00:52:21.650 --> 00:52:24.150
you can block, you can probably kill it. Although,

00:52:24.190 --> 00:52:26.829
no, saying that, now we've expanded out and walked

00:52:26.829 --> 00:52:32.849
out into the other areas. You've got to have...

00:52:32.849 --> 00:52:35.369
So your main carrying should always be, yeah,

00:52:35.409 --> 00:52:38.489
a sword, a bow... Yeah, you need a bow. ...a

00:52:38.489 --> 00:52:41.349
shield and a pickaxe. And the bow is because

00:52:41.349 --> 00:52:44.139
there are characters in it. as you expand out,

00:52:44.219 --> 00:52:46.980
they don't come down within striking distance.

00:52:47.320 --> 00:52:49.539
Yeah. So your only way of getting in. And those

00:52:49.539 --> 00:52:53.760
ones you cannot get away from easily. Yeah. It's...

00:52:53.760 --> 00:52:58.119
Considering how much is in it now... There's

00:52:58.119 --> 00:53:00.219
a lot going on. I mean, yeah, they have got stuff

00:53:00.219 --> 00:53:02.679
to work on. The farming, something that I really

00:53:02.679 --> 00:53:05.039
like to do is very bare bones. You put it down,

00:53:05.119 --> 00:53:07.079
you water it, and literally within five minutes,

00:53:07.139 --> 00:53:09.079
you've got it fully grown. The animal husbandry

00:53:09.079 --> 00:53:11.139
as well. Doesn't exist. We just go off screen,

00:53:11.139 --> 00:53:12.800
come back, and suddenly all the animals are gone.

00:53:13.079 --> 00:53:15.980
Yeah, so that's almost pointless. But they have

00:53:15.980 --> 00:53:17.840
said they are working on all of that, so it is

00:53:17.840 --> 00:53:21.239
coming. When I think about what, because I had

00:53:21.239 --> 00:53:25.260
Minecraft in alpha. I paid $9 .99 for it, and

00:53:25.260 --> 00:53:27.869
it was basically just creative mode. Yeah. You

00:53:27.869 --> 00:53:31.309
had nothing to do. And just placing blocks and

00:53:31.309 --> 00:53:34.369
building square things. So when you think that

00:53:34.369 --> 00:53:36.389
alpha can go to this alpha, what a completely

00:53:36.389 --> 00:53:38.550
different game. Well, this is pre -alpha. Pre

00:53:38.550 --> 00:53:41.670
-alpha, is it? Pre -alpha. Yeah. Well, I mean,

00:53:41.690 --> 00:53:44.170
what we're getting at is it's fucking brilliant.

00:53:44.269 --> 00:53:46.409
It is. And, you know, we're all completely addicted.

00:53:46.510 --> 00:53:49.429
And I was saying, like, oh, why don't we pay

00:53:49.429 --> 00:53:52.650
for a server? Yeah. I think the best I could,

00:53:52.730 --> 00:53:55.269
the cheapest I could get it was £8, and it could

00:53:55.269 --> 00:53:58.949
take four of us. four gigabyte ram is what they

00:53:58.949 --> 00:54:00.789
were offering me and not very much it's like

00:54:00.789 --> 00:54:02.989
oh you know split three ways whatever and then

00:54:02.989 --> 00:54:05.929
i told you and they were like no hold my beer

00:54:05.929 --> 00:54:09.349
hold my beer two hours later we had our own personally

00:54:09.349 --> 00:54:12.070
hosted server by the end of that evening we had

00:54:12.070 --> 00:54:15.460
an ai built server management portal that shows

00:54:15.460 --> 00:54:18.019
us everything we did and we can all manually

00:54:18.019 --> 00:54:20.980
upload mod files and edit the mod files and how

00:54:20.980 --> 00:54:24.480
much ram do you give you 16 24 gig of ram which

00:54:24.480 --> 00:54:28.179
is what they say is for multi -public server

00:54:28.179 --> 00:54:32.099
of 25 up to 75 people it's funny because i'm

00:54:32.099 --> 00:54:34.300
playing it it doesn't feel like i'm online we

00:54:34.300 --> 00:54:37.380
just there's no lag none none when all three

00:54:37.380 --> 00:54:39.019
of us have been up we've had one issue where

00:54:39.019 --> 00:54:40.800
the map stopped working haven't we but that was

00:54:40.800 --> 00:54:42.769
the mods fault Which we think, yeah, was the

00:54:42.769 --> 00:54:45.110
mod. It is the mod. It's on the list of bugs

00:54:45.110 --> 00:54:49.010
with the mod. But we've never... Oh, where did

00:54:49.010 --> 00:54:50.429
Rob go? He was right next to me and suddenly

00:54:50.429 --> 00:54:51.989
he's disappeared. We've had a couple of crashes.

00:54:52.190 --> 00:54:54.070
I've had a couple of crashes. I've had the odd

00:54:54.070 --> 00:54:56.250
crash, but I did one playing single player too.

00:54:56.809 --> 00:54:59.849
Precisely. So I don't think it's... It's just

00:54:59.849 --> 00:55:01.949
very good. Absolutely worth playing. If you like

00:55:01.949 --> 00:55:04.250
Minecraft, if you like a creative game like that,

00:55:04.369 --> 00:55:06.929
get on board with it. I'm still playing Tainted

00:55:06.929 --> 00:55:10.179
Grail, Fall of Avalon, in between. i tell but

00:55:10.179 --> 00:55:14.559
hotel has kind of taken over a bit uh and t has

00:55:14.559 --> 00:55:17.440
been playing on my 3ds he's been playing dimension

00:55:17.440 --> 00:55:21.980
2 on the 3ds which he plays the i've got the

00:55:21.980 --> 00:55:26.159
switch Have I got the Switch version? I've got

00:55:26.159 --> 00:55:29.039
it on my Steam Deck. Yeah, okay. And that's the

00:55:29.039 --> 00:55:31.099
remastered version. Yeah, you see, I've never

00:55:31.099 --> 00:55:32.940
played it. Yeah, they're different. I've played

00:55:32.940 --> 00:55:34.719
the original. I had it and I never played it.

00:55:34.780 --> 00:55:36.719
I played the original on GameCube because I had

00:55:36.719 --> 00:55:39.639
my original game and loved it. Completed it within

00:55:39.639 --> 00:55:42.639
a few days. Loved every minute of it. Yeah. I

00:55:42.639 --> 00:55:44.300
never got around to doing number two, though.

00:55:44.340 --> 00:55:47.280
And I really feel like I should do because if

00:55:47.280 --> 00:55:50.019
it's as good as the first... Yeah. Well, he's

00:55:50.019 --> 00:55:53.469
really amazed. The 3DS is out because I was sorting

00:55:53.469 --> 00:55:55.590
something out for Chris with his 3DS. So now

00:55:55.590 --> 00:56:01.510
he has a 3DS like mine. And he is amazed at the

00:56:01.510 --> 00:56:03.690
fact that he can close the lid and come back

00:56:03.690 --> 00:56:06.329
to it, an open lid, and it's just there. The

00:56:06.329 --> 00:56:09.309
3D thing, he turns on and turns it off. I don't

00:56:09.309 --> 00:56:11.690
think he thinks it's fun, but like me, it probably

00:56:11.690 --> 00:56:13.789
gives him a headache. It's weird. You have to

00:56:13.789 --> 00:56:16.909
look at it the exact right angle. When I got

00:56:16.909 --> 00:56:21.840
a... 3ds i didn't i bought the 2ds specifically

00:56:21.840 --> 00:56:25.300
just so i the flat one uh i had the wedge one

00:56:25.300 --> 00:56:28.099
and then i got the 2ds xl which was having that

00:56:28.099 --> 00:56:30.820
yeah yeah then i got the proper 2ds xl which

00:56:30.820 --> 00:56:33.139
i bought cheap from a charity shop i think and

00:56:33.139 --> 00:56:37.159
uh yeah i that was brilliant no 3d slider no

00:56:37.159 --> 00:56:40.500
messing about with it huge screen on it there's

00:56:40.500 --> 00:56:43.739
no games that really need it or need it at all

00:56:43.739 --> 00:56:47.280
but the it's a gimmick yeah And it is cool, but

00:56:47.280 --> 00:56:48.599
I always turn it off anyway with battery life

00:56:48.599 --> 00:56:51.860
anyway. I get a headache from it. So if I ever

00:56:51.860 --> 00:56:54.719
did have it on, it'd be the first notch above

00:56:54.719 --> 00:57:02.340
being off, basically. But the new 3DS XL, which

00:57:02.340 --> 00:57:05.760
is what I have, the last one they made, is going

00:57:05.760 --> 00:57:08.159
for the same price now, secondhand, as it was

00:57:08.159 --> 00:57:11.519
new. They're exploding because of people doing

00:57:11.519 --> 00:57:14.500
things to them and stuff. And it's very easy.

00:57:15.789 --> 00:57:17.489
You know, everyone where I stand, I don't want

00:57:17.489 --> 00:57:19.230
to get myself doxxed and in trouble here from

00:57:19.230 --> 00:57:22.550
Nintendo or on YouTube. But, you know, it's a

00:57:22.550 --> 00:57:25.449
very popular console. Every game on it runs great.

00:57:26.429 --> 00:57:28.269
Tiny little handheld fits in everyone's hands.

00:57:28.389 --> 00:57:30.309
No one gets hands cramps. Yeah. What a great

00:57:30.309 --> 00:57:32.050
console. If you've got one, keep it. Do not let

00:57:32.050 --> 00:57:34.570
it die. You know, you can change the battery

00:57:34.570 --> 00:57:35.829
and then take the back off. You can just take

00:57:35.829 --> 00:57:37.130
the battery out and put a new one in. Deserve

00:57:37.130 --> 00:57:40.070
far more love than Microsoft, than Nintendo gave

00:57:40.070 --> 00:57:42.719
it. Yeah, I don't think it did as well as the

00:57:42.719 --> 00:57:45.940
DS did. No. My mum didn't have a 3DS, but she

00:57:45.940 --> 00:57:49.039
had a DS. The DS. Everyone had a DS. The DS was,

00:57:49.280 --> 00:57:51.880
yeah, it just exploded like the Wii, didn't it?

00:57:52.059 --> 00:57:55.400
Yeah. And then the 3DS, as I said, it was a gimmick,

00:57:55.400 --> 00:57:58.079
and people just looked at it and went, no, no

00:57:58.079 --> 00:58:00.539
thanks. Right, anyway, we should probably get

00:58:00.539 --> 00:58:08.059
on with this. Accessing library computer data.

00:58:08.800 --> 00:58:16.619
V. The Arrival, 1996, rated 12, one hour, 55

00:58:16.619 --> 00:58:20.340
minutes, starring Tiger Blood himself, Charlie

00:58:20.340 --> 00:58:24.219
Sheen. Yep. Zane, an astronomer, discovers intelligent

00:58:24.219 --> 00:58:27.440
alien life, but the aliens are keeping a deadly

00:58:27.440 --> 00:58:29.860
secret and will do anything to stop Zane from

00:58:29.860 --> 00:58:34.559
learning it. uh that's the blurb for it uh there's

00:58:34.559 --> 00:58:37.199
a few big names in it uh richard schiff is the

00:58:37.199 --> 00:58:39.760
one yep that um he's in everything yeah he was

00:58:39.760 --> 00:58:43.059
here he's dr emile in man of steel he's lost

00:58:43.059 --> 00:58:45.659
world he's eddie he was in the west wing he was

00:58:45.659 --> 00:58:48.719
in so he is in absolutely everything and you

00:58:48.719 --> 00:58:50.539
kind of feel bad for his character because he

00:58:50.539 --> 00:58:55.139
really is just like beaten in this this film

00:58:55.139 --> 00:58:59.909
another guy leon uh what's his name Leon Rippey.

00:58:59.949 --> 00:59:01.929
He's in a lot of stuff. He's like in The Blacklist.

00:59:02.789 --> 00:59:07.090
He's in... Oh, sugar. I just looked at him. Yeah,

00:59:07.130 --> 00:59:11.110
he's in The Patriot, Deadwood, Stargate. Yeah.

00:59:11.670 --> 00:59:14.409
Again, like Under the Dome. You probably wouldn't

00:59:14.409 --> 00:59:16.989
know his name. No. But if you looked at a picture

00:59:16.989 --> 00:59:18.389
of him, you know who he was. And it's the same

00:59:18.389 --> 00:59:21.690
with the main bad character, Ron Silver, who

00:59:21.690 --> 00:59:24.849
played Gordian in this. Yeah. You'd recognise

00:59:24.849 --> 00:59:26.670
his face. You wouldn't recognise the name. And

00:59:26.670 --> 00:59:31.340
I mean... Geez, one of his known -for films on

00:59:31.340 --> 00:59:35.719
IMDb, Time Cop. Oh, yeah, it's the first one

00:59:35.719 --> 00:59:38.559
there. Yeah, exactly. Shit, that's with Jean

00:59:38.559 --> 00:59:41.059
-Claude Van Damme. Jean -Claude Van Damme, yeah.

00:59:42.019 --> 00:59:48.599
Yeah, little Johnny. It's... Yeah, it's... 6

00:59:48.599 --> 00:59:51.599
.2, that's unfair. I think it's very unfair that

00:59:51.599 --> 00:59:55.519
it gets 6 .2 on IMDb. It's... Not a comedy. So,

00:59:55.559 --> 00:59:57.440
as I said, when you first see it's Charlie Sheen,

00:59:57.519 --> 01:00:00.900
you immediately think Hot Shots, Two and a Half

01:00:00.900 --> 01:00:05.940
Men, Hot Shots Part Deux. It unloads. There's

01:00:05.940 --> 01:00:09.400
a film where he plays a garbage man. I can't

01:00:09.400 --> 01:00:11.619
think of what it's called. But most of his films

01:00:11.619 --> 01:00:14.840
are comedy films. So you just got to expect,

01:00:14.980 --> 01:00:16.719
oh, it's going to be some sort of spoof funny

01:00:16.719 --> 01:00:18.440
alien film. And then you watch it and it's like,

01:00:18.559 --> 01:00:24.639
no, this is actually deadly serious. Yeah. it's

01:00:24.639 --> 01:00:27.960
a good film it's a great opening and yeah well

01:00:27.960 --> 01:00:32.440
i was still high on the hightail addiction and

01:00:32.440 --> 01:00:34.380
i was like i'm gonna have hightail on and watch

01:00:34.380 --> 01:00:37.000
this at the same time you do i had to keep stopping

01:00:37.000 --> 01:00:38.619
hightail because like no i want to watch this

01:00:38.619 --> 01:00:41.179
bit i want to get i was i was actually engrossed

01:00:41.179 --> 01:00:43.920
in it you know in some of these films we've watched

01:00:43.920 --> 01:00:46.659
i've been bored whereas this one i was not bored

01:00:46.659 --> 01:00:49.119
at any points because i do like a slow burner

01:00:49.119 --> 01:00:54.369
and this is 35 minutes of slow burn of you know

01:00:54.369 --> 01:00:57.269
it is building it up and kind of making you give

01:00:57.269 --> 01:01:00.469
a shit about you get excitement within five minutes

01:01:00.469 --> 01:01:02.730
within the first five minutes you get it's a

01:01:02.730 --> 01:01:05.349
great intro brilliant excitement yeah well okay

01:01:05.349 --> 01:01:08.909
yeah the very beginning of the film a character

01:01:08.909 --> 01:01:12.110
who doesn't stay alive very long no and doesn't

01:01:12.110 --> 01:01:14.929
get that much screen time is stood in this beautiful

01:01:14.929 --> 01:01:18.889
poppy field and for the era we'll say for the

01:01:18.889 --> 01:01:22.940
era um yeah it zooms out to reveal that she's

01:01:22.940 --> 01:01:25.059
in the middle of the antarctic the antarctic

01:01:25.059 --> 01:01:30.519
or arctic and yeah and she's like this shouldn't

01:01:30.519 --> 01:01:32.800
be here and then you go into this news report

01:01:32.800 --> 01:01:34.960
going on about the summer's the hottest it's

01:01:34.960 --> 01:01:37.860
ever been and this is really weird for this this

01:01:37.860 --> 01:01:41.059
time going and then um yeah and then we're in

01:01:41.059 --> 01:01:45.179
the radar not the radar the the giant satellite

01:01:45.179 --> 01:01:48.360
the radio satellite dish that charlie sheen works

01:01:48.360 --> 01:01:50.880
in zane works in and yeah they capture this signal

01:01:50.880 --> 01:01:54.940
and it's just actually feels really good yeah

01:01:54.940 --> 01:01:57.619
and the more i've watched so this is the third

01:01:57.619 --> 01:02:00.900
time i've watched this film now and the more

01:02:00.900 --> 01:02:04.679
i watch it the more i realize as much as yes

01:02:04.679 --> 01:02:08.760
the cgi is ropey but it's 96 we'll give it Give

01:02:08.760 --> 01:02:10.139
it credit for that, even though Independence

01:02:10.139 --> 01:02:12.260
Day literally came out that year or the year

01:02:12.260 --> 01:02:14.079
after. There are some scenes that are better

01:02:14.079 --> 01:02:17.539
than others in the CGI. Some of the green screening

01:02:17.539 --> 01:02:21.860
is ropey. But the story is really, really good.

01:02:23.460 --> 01:02:26.559
He's got the most 90s haircut. Oh my God, doesn't

01:02:26.559 --> 01:02:31.139
he? I like the twist in it. There's a good twist

01:02:31.139 --> 01:02:34.739
to it. And I've lost my train of thought about

01:02:34.739 --> 01:02:36.940
what I was going to say. Well done me. Yeah,

01:02:36.940 --> 01:02:38.800
it's because I interrupted you by talking about

01:02:38.800 --> 01:02:45.139
haircuts. Oh, what was I going to say? I genuinely

01:02:45.139 --> 01:02:47.300
can't remember. We need to keep talking and it

01:02:47.300 --> 01:02:52.440
will come back to me, no doubt. But ultimately,

01:02:52.780 --> 01:02:54.440
oh, that was, I know what I was going to say

01:02:54.440 --> 01:02:57.400
now. Yeah, I've watched it a third time. You

01:02:57.400 --> 01:03:01.199
can't help but think. If you squeezed it down

01:03:01.199 --> 01:03:08.940
to a 45 minute episode and replaced, almost keep

01:03:08.940 --> 01:03:11.179
that story going. Imagine if you could kind of

01:03:11.179 --> 01:03:16.860
run that film, but then film a TV series about

01:03:16.860 --> 01:03:20.800
two FBI agents looking into something weird going

01:03:20.800 --> 01:03:25.219
on. It felt very X -Files. Yeah. The actual film

01:03:25.219 --> 01:03:28.440
itself, there's a lot that... Well done, Kat.

01:03:28.679 --> 01:03:31.260
If you heard that... The podcast guys will be

01:03:31.260 --> 01:03:33.380
hearing this. If you're doing it again, yeah,

01:03:33.480 --> 01:03:36.219
stop it. I can't help but think, yeah, it felt

01:03:36.219 --> 01:03:39.179
really X -Files. There's parts of it that you

01:03:39.179 --> 01:03:41.800
could imagine. Actually, even the filming style

01:03:41.800 --> 01:03:44.139
felt like the X -Files. I know that's atypical

01:03:44.139 --> 01:03:46.840
for the era. It may have even been the same filming

01:03:46.840 --> 01:03:51.519
crews that they used for it. But it could have

01:03:51.519 --> 01:03:54.639
made a great X -Files story. Yeah. of, oh, these

01:03:54.639 --> 01:03:56.920
aliens are here and they're trying to... You

01:03:56.920 --> 01:03:59.239
could just imagine it. But at the same time,

01:03:59.280 --> 01:04:01.679
you could actually have made a good series out

01:04:01.679 --> 01:04:04.340
of it. You could have, like, egged it on and

01:04:04.340 --> 01:04:07.360
been, like, trip -feed little bits. Yeah, I could

01:04:07.360 --> 01:04:11.659
imagine Ice Cube being Zane. Oh, no. Could you

01:04:11.659 --> 01:04:13.059
imagine him as an animal? Just sat in his room

01:04:13.059 --> 01:04:15.800
doing a webcam video for it. Oh, no. Yeah, right.

01:04:16.099 --> 01:04:18.500
Well, now we know there's the Arrival 2. The

01:04:18.500 --> 01:04:24.579
Arrival 3 will be having it. Right, breakdown

01:04:24.579 --> 01:04:26.760
of the story, because as much as I gave you the

01:04:26.760 --> 01:04:28.980
blurb, the blurb doesn't really help much. So

01:04:28.980 --> 01:04:33.800
Zane is a radio satellite operator for NASA JPL.

01:04:34.000 --> 01:04:39.360
They discover a signal which is non -repeating

01:04:39.360 --> 01:04:44.380
and from Wolf 353, I think I want to say what

01:04:44.380 --> 01:04:50.079
it is. Runs over to Jet Propulsion Lab to his

01:04:50.079 --> 01:04:52.820
boss. His boss goes, oh, I'll give it a listen.

01:04:52.880 --> 01:04:55.019
I'll send it to the boys upstairs. Oh, by the

01:04:55.019 --> 01:04:56.820
way, Zane, can you come in my office? Yeah, you're

01:04:56.820 --> 01:05:01.039
fired. We've got budget cuts. Zane then finds

01:05:01.039 --> 01:05:03.139
out that actually the cassette was never given

01:05:03.139 --> 01:05:05.780
to anyone and it's all seeming to be covered

01:05:05.780 --> 01:05:07.800
up. So he phones his mate who hasn't been fired,

01:05:07.840 --> 01:05:09.940
who's still at the radio satellite. Can I have

01:05:09.940 --> 01:05:12.519
the backup? But Department of Justice is allegedly

01:05:12.519 --> 01:05:15.760
there. He gives up the backup. So screw that.

01:05:16.860 --> 01:05:18.500
and he ends up working as a satellite repair

01:05:18.500 --> 01:05:21.659
person. No, he's pretending to be a satellite

01:05:21.659 --> 01:05:24.539
repair person. Yeah, so I think telecommunications,

01:05:24.559 --> 01:05:27.059
or he's working for Sierra Satellites. But I

01:05:27.059 --> 01:05:28.719
thought he was pretending to because he wanted

01:05:28.719 --> 01:05:31.480
to get hold of the satellites. No, I think he's

01:05:31.480 --> 01:05:33.539
generally working in phones and satellite, but

01:05:33.539 --> 01:05:35.780
then that's when he starts changing uniforms

01:05:35.780 --> 01:05:38.159
and stuff. So the next bit is he then realises,

01:05:38.199 --> 01:05:39.880
well, why don't I utilise all the satellites

01:05:39.880 --> 01:05:42.829
I've seen around the neighbourhood? and build

01:05:42.829 --> 01:05:45.369
a phased array as he calls it and that's actually

01:05:45.369 --> 01:05:47.210
quite a good storyline as i've built getting

01:05:47.210 --> 01:05:49.150
all these satellites and basically using them

01:05:49.150 --> 01:05:52.150
at night when no one's aware up in his loft and

01:05:52.150 --> 01:05:54.210
he's looking out for this signal which he finally

01:05:54.210 --> 01:05:58.409
catches just after he's caught a young boy spying

01:05:58.409 --> 01:06:02.989
on him kiki kiki uh more about him later That

01:06:02.989 --> 01:06:05.210
then leads him off to Mexico where he meets our

01:06:05.210 --> 01:06:08.289
woman from the very beginning of the film who's

01:06:08.289 --> 01:06:10.030
trying to work out why the heat's going up out

01:06:10.030 --> 01:06:11.750
there and it turns out that it's this new power

01:06:11.750 --> 01:06:14.130
station that's been built and it's letting off

01:06:14.130 --> 01:06:17.150
all these weird emissions and he eventually sneaks

01:06:17.150 --> 01:06:18.909
in there and he finds out that they're all aliens.

01:06:19.690 --> 01:06:24.570
Essentially, yeah. All the while people are trying

01:06:24.570 --> 01:06:27.590
to kill him. and he doesn't really know the aliens

01:06:27.590 --> 01:06:29.030
are trying to kill him but he doesn't know they

01:06:29.030 --> 01:06:31.489
were aliens until that point yeah uh and they're

01:06:31.489 --> 01:06:33.550
trying to terraform the planet yeah they then

01:06:33.550 --> 01:06:35.989
set him up for murder he then escapes back to

01:06:35.989 --> 01:06:38.389
america confronts gordian who was his boss who

01:06:38.389 --> 01:06:41.909
turns out to be an alien as well um he then gets

01:06:41.909 --> 01:06:43.650
the evidence of that and threatens to show it

01:06:43.650 --> 01:06:45.829
to the world ends up back at the radio satellite

01:06:45.829 --> 01:06:51.099
and we've got this whole thing of um oh have

01:06:51.099 --> 01:06:53.199
they caught him oh no he's managed to kill them

01:06:53.199 --> 01:06:55.980
and sort it all out at the end uh and that's

01:06:55.980 --> 01:06:57.940
kind of how it ends and he ends with him broadcasting

01:06:57.940 --> 01:07:00.380
the video of this evidence he's got and you're

01:07:00.380 --> 01:07:02.039
kind of which is not good enough evidence by

01:07:02.039 --> 01:07:04.340
the way no nowhere near and you're led to believe

01:07:04.340 --> 01:07:06.179
that he's broadcast it across all of them because

01:07:06.179 --> 01:07:08.059
he's pointed out the right satellite this time

01:07:08.059 --> 01:07:10.320
anyway yeah that's the main story the whole point

01:07:10.320 --> 01:07:11.960
is yeah aliens are here and they're trying to

01:07:11.960 --> 01:07:14.179
terrafilm earth because we've already ruined

01:07:14.179 --> 01:07:18.099
it so why don't they come here um lots and lots

01:07:18.099 --> 01:07:21.730
and lots and lots of little clever bits so Now

01:07:21.730 --> 01:07:25.210
you know that Kiki, the boy, was an alien. Yep.

01:07:25.409 --> 01:07:27.809
That was a bombshell. That was a bombshell. But

01:07:27.809 --> 01:07:29.789
what was really clever, if you notice, and I

01:07:29.789 --> 01:07:32.710
had to read the IMDb notes and read up on it,

01:07:32.789 --> 01:07:36.710
none of the aliens sweat. So if you notice, when

01:07:36.710 --> 01:07:39.030
Charlie... Charlie Sheen's covered in sweat.

01:07:39.210 --> 01:07:41.369
He's covered in sweat, but none of the aliens...

01:07:41.369 --> 01:07:43.210
Oh, I didn't notice that. The taxi driver isn't

01:07:43.210 --> 01:07:46.210
sweating. But that's one key point, is his girlfriend,

01:07:46.369 --> 01:07:49.289
who you assume is an alien by the end of it,

01:07:49.329 --> 01:07:51.940
turned out not to be. She never sweats. So actually,

01:07:52.019 --> 01:07:53.820
was she an alien all along? And that's what the

01:07:53.820 --> 01:07:56.300
sequel will be about. Don't know. But yeah, all

01:07:56.300 --> 01:07:59.260
the alien characters that are in their human

01:07:59.260 --> 01:08:02.920
suits don't sweat. So you can assume that the

01:08:02.920 --> 01:08:04.719
aliens don't sweat because they like the heat

01:08:04.719 --> 01:08:07.119
and whatever. So you notice the first time they

01:08:07.119 --> 01:08:09.860
meet Kiki, he comes up with an ice pack. I don't

01:08:09.860 --> 01:08:13.679
want that on me. Oh, yeah. So was that meant

01:08:13.679 --> 01:08:16.380
to be a little subtle clue? Yeah. That you then

01:08:16.380 --> 01:08:18.079
go back and go, that's why he didn't want the

01:08:18.079 --> 01:08:21.930
ice pack on him. they want this hot world and

01:08:21.930 --> 01:08:25.909
yeah that's why um so i quite quite i completely

01:08:25.909 --> 01:08:30.810
missed that connection i was too flabbergasted

01:08:30.810 --> 01:08:33.670
at the scene where his legs bend the wrong way

01:08:33.670 --> 01:08:36.449
and he runs off oh no it's the first time you

01:08:36.449 --> 01:08:38.789
see that yeah but that last was the worst time

01:08:38.789 --> 01:08:41.350
yes it's horrible the worst one you're seeing

01:08:41.350 --> 01:08:44.149
this kid because it makes his bone crunching

01:08:44.149 --> 01:08:46.670
so so for those who haven't watched it imagine

01:08:46.670 --> 01:08:48.670
a person stood there and then suddenly there's

01:08:48.670 --> 01:08:51.340
a bone crunching sound and their legs bend the

01:08:51.340 --> 01:08:54.600
other direction like a minotaur yeah or something

01:08:54.600 --> 01:08:57.060
and they just start running yeah and he just

01:08:57.060 --> 01:08:59.380
turns around off he goes yeah and it was really

01:08:59.380 --> 01:09:01.619
badly done too that last scene yeah and the first

01:09:01.619 --> 01:09:04.340
time you see it is there's this uh elderly mexican

01:09:04.340 --> 01:09:06.260
man that's trying to kill charlie sheen while

01:09:06.260 --> 01:09:09.340
he's in mexico and charlie sheen chases him out

01:09:09.340 --> 01:09:11.279
after the bath scene which we'll talk about oh

01:09:11.279 --> 01:09:14.220
the bath scene and um While Charlie Sheen's looking

01:09:14.220 --> 01:09:16.060
at the public who suddenly appeared behind him,

01:09:16.079 --> 01:09:18.880
you just hear the horrible noise. The legs snap

01:09:18.880 --> 01:09:20.840
backwards and then he just springs up in the

01:09:20.840 --> 01:09:23.039
sky over the wall and off he goes. Actually,

01:09:23.039 --> 01:09:26.079
that's pretty cool. I actually really like that.

01:09:26.260 --> 01:09:28.500
I went to the bath scene. Right. So for whatever

01:09:28.500 --> 01:09:30.039
reason, there's a scene where Charlie Sheen has

01:09:30.039 --> 01:09:34.020
to have a bath and he calls up his voicemail

01:09:34.020 --> 01:09:36.369
machine. Which will be very confusing for young

01:09:36.369 --> 01:09:39.630
people to understand what that is. And he's listening

01:09:39.630 --> 01:09:42.449
to his girlfriend apologizing to him and asking

01:09:42.449 --> 01:09:44.829
where he is. All the while, it's doing little

01:09:44.829 --> 01:09:47.789
shots to like water coming down the walls. And

01:09:47.789 --> 01:09:50.850
I'm like, is his bath leaking? Is it condensation?

01:09:51.050 --> 01:09:52.729
Is there something happening? Are they trying

01:09:52.729 --> 01:09:55.010
to build some kind of tension for something happening?

01:09:55.170 --> 01:09:57.890
Well, what happens? It turns out is the floor

01:09:57.890 --> 01:10:01.310
above someone's having a bath as well. It's the

01:10:01.310 --> 01:10:03.289
old man because when he looks up, he sees the

01:10:03.289 --> 01:10:05.510
old man at the door. So the old man above him

01:10:05.510 --> 01:10:07.449
has turned the taps on in the bath above him

01:10:07.449 --> 01:10:10.090
and he's letting it flood. And yes, you get this

01:10:10.090 --> 01:10:13.850
giant cast iron bath dropping into his bath.

01:10:14.170 --> 01:10:17.869
And he just gets out of the way. The sound. It's

01:10:17.869 --> 01:10:21.210
the first time in the film where the sound engineer

01:10:21.210 --> 01:10:24.090
was like, my time to shine. Because he just went

01:10:24.090 --> 01:10:27.569
with the thing. And I'm there like kind of enjoying

01:10:27.569 --> 01:10:29.550
this. And there's something really fucking loud

01:10:29.550 --> 01:10:34.489
in the headphones. If I can get a clip of it,

01:10:34.550 --> 01:10:36.510
I'll try and paste a clip in here. Because it

01:10:36.510 --> 01:10:39.289
was so like, oh, my God. Oh, my God. I text you.

01:10:39.310 --> 01:10:43.569
And I was like, fucking hell, the bath. And then

01:10:43.569 --> 01:10:46.310
he's like running through the streets chasing

01:10:46.310 --> 01:10:49.100
him. And at first I didn't really notice. I think

01:10:49.100 --> 01:10:50.300
I was in so much shock I didn't notice and put

01:10:50.300 --> 01:10:52.420
trousers on. And you don't see his bottom half

01:10:52.420 --> 01:10:54.000
for a long period of time. So he's running through

01:10:54.000 --> 01:10:55.979
the street fucking naked. He's going straight

01:10:55.979 --> 01:10:57.619
after this dude. Apparently he found something

01:10:57.619 --> 01:11:00.159
to put some jeans on. Of course. Yeah, that was

01:11:00.159 --> 01:11:02.279
a great. And they do it. They do the same thing

01:11:02.279 --> 01:11:04.439
at the end when the whole satellite dish thing

01:11:04.439 --> 01:11:07.960
is crumbling down. That's the same noise pretty

01:11:07.960 --> 01:11:10.079
much as the bath one. But suddenly they whack

01:11:10.079 --> 01:11:16.859
the volume up and just go. I'd hate to have seen

01:11:16.859 --> 01:11:18.840
it in the cinema. It would blow your head off

01:11:18.840 --> 01:11:21.239
in the cinema. God, yeah. You know those videos

01:11:21.239 --> 01:11:23.680
you see of women getting into cars with loads

01:11:23.680 --> 01:11:26.140
of bass and their hair's going... That's what

01:11:26.140 --> 01:11:32.180
it felt like in the cinema. But all of it, though,

01:11:32.220 --> 01:11:37.430
just fit together really nicely. as much as yeah

01:11:37.430 --> 01:11:40.529
she so the woman that he meets is an environmental

01:11:40.529 --> 01:11:42.390
scientist and she's looking at the emissions

01:11:42.390 --> 01:11:46.369
and it turns out they know about her but not

01:11:46.369 --> 01:11:48.829
necessarily him being in mexico so they've smashed

01:11:48.829 --> 01:11:52.149
up all her equipment he just about saves her

01:11:52.149 --> 01:11:54.170
from being kind of murdered by being there at

01:11:54.170 --> 01:11:57.369
the same time um they then start getting along

01:11:57.369 --> 01:12:01.149
and nearly do the old uh hide the sausage game

01:12:01.149 --> 01:12:04.989
but uh Oh, that was so awkward. That scene was

01:12:04.989 --> 01:12:06.989
so awkward. But it was good because it would

01:12:06.989 --> 01:12:09.789
have been awkward. That's what made it feel,

01:12:09.970 --> 01:12:12.470
as much as I don't like awkward and cringy moments,

01:12:12.649 --> 01:12:14.930
it's like actually this felt real. It's like

01:12:14.930 --> 01:12:17.510
the bath bit actually felt like what you would

01:12:17.510 --> 01:12:19.750
do. You'd put something on the speaker, you climb

01:12:19.750 --> 01:12:22.250
in, it's like, what is going on? There's something

01:12:22.250 --> 01:12:24.689
about it. There's not just a charm about it,

01:12:24.729 --> 01:12:28.729
but it felt realistic. And I don't know why it

01:12:28.729 --> 01:12:32.390
should be. But yeah, she gets killed by scorpions.

01:12:33.180 --> 01:12:35.380
Yeah, I needed to talk to you about that. I'm

01:12:35.380 --> 01:12:38.239
guessing they've put the scorpions in there.

01:12:38.439 --> 01:12:41.680
Or are they aliens that are looking like scorpions?

01:12:41.680 --> 01:12:45.380
No, no, it's the old man again. His bum bag's

01:12:45.380 --> 01:12:47.220
full of them. But scorpions aren't going to come

01:12:47.220 --> 01:12:49.960
and search you out to sting you and kill you.

01:12:50.039 --> 01:12:52.079
Firstly, they're not going to kill you. He's

01:12:52.079 --> 01:12:54.079
put loads in there and they're meant to be poisonous

01:12:54.079 --> 01:12:56.279
scorpions. But if you read the trivia on it,

01:12:56.340 --> 01:12:58.340
they're all like something called an angel scorpion

01:12:58.340 --> 01:13:00.140
or something like that. Harmless unless you're

01:13:00.140 --> 01:13:02.899
allergic. Yeah, I just, that was a bit, I was

01:13:02.899 --> 01:13:04.720
like, look, the scorpions aren't going to be

01:13:04.720 --> 01:13:07.399
hunting you out. Which kind of implied that they

01:13:07.399 --> 01:13:10.159
were hunting her out. They kept going towards

01:13:10.159 --> 01:13:12.659
her. I think that's only because they'd put so

01:13:12.659 --> 01:13:14.659
many in the room and they were just meant to

01:13:14.659 --> 01:13:18.619
be all over the room. So it's no chance of it

01:13:18.619 --> 01:13:21.850
not happening. Stings her in the bed. It stings

01:13:21.850 --> 01:13:23.329
her in the bed. And then you get that scene of

01:13:23.329 --> 01:13:26.810
like... He then breaks into the power plant,

01:13:26.890 --> 01:13:30.670
not knowing she's died. Yeah, yeah. And we finally

01:13:30.670 --> 01:13:32.750
get the reveal of the alien and what it looks

01:13:32.750 --> 01:13:34.270
like. And it's a really good design. They've

01:13:34.270 --> 01:13:37.010
got the weird bendy legs. They've got this muscular

01:13:37.010 --> 01:13:39.430
kind of torso. And then they've got kind of these

01:13:39.430 --> 01:13:41.529
weird rabbit ears that flop back. And then as

01:13:41.529 --> 01:13:43.609
they lift up, and there's the brain. It's like,

01:13:43.630 --> 01:13:45.949
this is really weird. They've got the typical

01:13:45.949 --> 01:13:48.569
big eyes that people associate with greys, I

01:13:48.569 --> 01:13:49.470
think they call them the aliens. They had the

01:13:49.470 --> 01:13:55.850
same face as the aliens in Independence Day.

01:13:56.449 --> 01:14:01.670
Very similar face, yeah. So you kind of, yeah,

01:14:01.770 --> 01:14:03.350
you've got this scene. And then there's that

01:14:03.350 --> 01:14:06.329
brilliant scene where there's this trans, I think

01:14:06.329 --> 01:14:08.649
you could call it a transmogrifier, I think.

01:14:08.909 --> 01:14:12.159
Where they change. Yeah, basically. They force

01:14:12.159 --> 01:14:14.500
their thumbs into the right position. You hear

01:14:14.500 --> 01:14:17.520
the bones cracking again. And it turns them into

01:14:17.520 --> 01:14:19.300
what their human character is. It does three

01:14:19.300 --> 01:14:22.319
swipes over them. Yeah. And takes three stages,

01:14:22.340 --> 01:14:25.800
like change, change, and then a set. Yeah, that's

01:14:25.800 --> 01:14:28.020
the one. And he fucking idiot jumps in it, doesn't

01:14:28.020 --> 01:14:30.680
he? Well, just before that, I like the fact that

01:14:30.680 --> 01:14:32.819
they're dumb enough to go, well, because we're

01:14:32.819 --> 01:14:35.220
in Mexico, we can just reuse the face of someone

01:14:35.220 --> 01:14:36.699
that's over in America because no one's going

01:14:36.699 --> 01:14:39.090
to know. And obviously Zane sees it like... I

01:14:39.090 --> 01:14:40.989
know that face. It's just him with the moustache.

01:14:42.130 --> 01:14:45.689
Precisely. But I quite liked that. I think they've

01:14:45.689 --> 01:14:48.130
got this limited number of faces that they're

01:14:48.130 --> 01:14:50.350
using and that's what they've done. But yeah,

01:14:50.390 --> 01:14:53.630
he throws himself into it. Just one swipe, it

01:14:53.630 --> 01:14:56.270
doesn't set. And I was like, oh my God, this

01:14:56.270 --> 01:14:58.930
is horrific. And his face melts. But it's brilliant.

01:14:59.250 --> 01:15:03.310
It's just the right amount of comic that you

01:15:03.310 --> 01:15:06.170
need for a film at that point. Because it's been

01:15:06.170 --> 01:15:07.670
going on a little bit long and you're starting

01:15:07.670 --> 01:15:10.479
to think, i'm enjoying this but we do need to

01:15:10.479 --> 01:15:12.520
get start thinking about the climax for it yeah

01:15:12.520 --> 01:15:14.199
and there's the brilliant bit where he's in this

01:15:14.199 --> 01:15:16.359
this the alien lift shaft and they're going up

01:15:16.359 --> 01:15:19.699
in the lift shaft and um he leans into the taxi

01:15:19.699 --> 01:15:22.720
driver and he just so When he first meets the

01:15:22.720 --> 01:15:24.199
taxi driver and says, oh, can you take me here?

01:15:24.340 --> 01:15:26.340
And the taxi driver's very against him. You want

01:15:26.340 --> 01:15:27.560
to see the ruins, my friend. Turns out he's an

01:15:27.560 --> 01:15:29.560
alien. Yeah. And he's like, do you want to see

01:15:29.560 --> 01:15:32.380
the ruins, my friend? Yeah. And he just whispers

01:15:32.380 --> 01:15:35.180
it and then just shoves him out of it. He's talking

01:15:35.180 --> 01:15:36.960
to an alien. And at first, Charlie Sheen just

01:15:36.960 --> 01:15:39.579
kind of nods or shakes him higher. And the guy's

01:15:39.579 --> 01:15:41.579
like, okay. And then he looks at him again and

01:15:41.579 --> 01:15:43.560
does it again. And that's when Charlie Sheen's

01:15:43.560 --> 01:15:46.520
like. shit yeah and then yeah he says the same

01:15:46.520 --> 01:15:49.279
thing to him as like good health and safety on

01:15:49.279 --> 01:15:51.079
their lifts has got no front he pushes him off

01:15:51.079 --> 01:15:53.739
and kills him uh i don't want to ask you because

01:15:53.739 --> 01:15:56.199
we want to just fly back quickly the woman's

01:15:56.199 --> 01:16:01.159
died yep his best friend died yep which he's

01:16:01.159 --> 01:16:03.880
traumatized by he yeah you see him absolutely

01:16:03.880 --> 01:16:06.760
break down i want to take yeah somebody an ex

01:16:06.760 --> 01:16:09.699
-medical profession guy excuse me a second okay

01:16:09.699 --> 01:16:13.689
i'm excusing you for one second exactly They've

01:16:13.689 --> 01:16:17.069
got him on a gurney, taking him out. Yep. Looks

01:16:17.069 --> 01:16:20.409
dead to me. Someone even says, this guy's DOA.

01:16:20.909 --> 01:16:24.050
That's dead on arrival, right? It is. Excuse

01:16:24.050 --> 01:16:26.189
me, everyone. Or dick on arse, depends on...

01:16:26.189 --> 01:16:28.630
Dick on arse, that's later. Dead on arrival,

01:16:28.649 --> 01:16:32.090
is that when they arrived? Dead on arrival? Yeah,

01:16:32.109 --> 01:16:33.670
you're dead on arrival. Okay, so why is there

01:16:33.670 --> 01:16:35.470
a guy with a thing in his face, squeezing it,

01:16:35.489 --> 01:16:36.970
trying to make him breathe, when he's just been

01:16:36.970 --> 01:16:39.920
declared as DOA? Because DOA is not a declaration.

01:16:40.420 --> 01:16:43.239
So it may be that the police... I can't quite

01:16:43.239 --> 01:16:45.279
remember. Is it the police officer that says

01:16:45.279 --> 01:16:46.500
dead on arrival? I don't know. You don't hear

01:16:46.500 --> 01:16:48.960
who says it. Someone says dead on arrival, but

01:16:48.960 --> 01:16:51.100
the paramedics are still working on him, basically.

01:16:51.439 --> 01:16:54.079
So it's just a member of public or a police officer

01:16:54.079 --> 01:16:57.479
saying he's DOA. He was saying there's no chance

01:16:57.479 --> 01:16:59.640
he's going to survive, is what they're trying

01:16:59.640 --> 01:17:02.520
to get the idea. That just made me put my nose

01:17:02.520 --> 01:17:06.119
out of joy a little bit. So he then escapes the...

01:17:07.639 --> 01:17:11.300
alien dungeon yeah gets in the car drives forward

01:17:11.300 --> 01:17:14.060
without looking and hits one of the aliens oh

01:17:14.060 --> 01:17:18.840
you suddenly see kind of the transmogrification

01:17:18.840 --> 01:17:21.420
if we're sticking with that starts melting and

01:17:21.420 --> 01:17:23.479
fizzing away so it's like once you damage the

01:17:23.479 --> 01:17:25.239
skin they kind of you can see it kind of like

01:17:25.239 --> 01:17:27.899
escaping like this kind of like yeah but within

01:17:27.899 --> 01:17:30.739
a few minutes it's daytime and he's in a police

01:17:30.739 --> 01:17:33.479
custody and so well you've murdered some we think

01:17:33.479 --> 01:17:36.420
you've you've killed someone and um you see the

01:17:36.420 --> 01:17:38.520
police officer go outside and the van pulls up

01:17:38.520 --> 01:17:40.880
they pull out the body and you're right there's

01:17:40.880 --> 01:17:44.680
this how comes the woman and it must be a mannequin

01:17:44.680 --> 01:17:47.619
and i'm gonna say the mannequins they used in

01:17:47.619 --> 01:17:51.500
this film yeah was brilliant um excluding gordian

01:17:51.500 --> 01:17:55.000
well all gordian as well and the two cleanup

01:17:55.000 --> 01:17:57.399
crew which we haven't talked about yet when they

01:17:57.399 --> 01:18:00.220
freeze them in liquid nitrogen yep phenomenal

01:18:00.220 --> 01:18:03.300
models they used great and the same with hers

01:18:03.300 --> 01:18:05.359
as much as it was silly seeing her going like

01:18:05.359 --> 01:18:08.359
that that's who you hit is it that that's how

01:18:08.359 --> 01:18:12.960
she died but um really good models but yeah that

01:18:12.960 --> 01:18:15.420
was a bit comic that was a bit of a it was it

01:18:15.420 --> 01:18:18.939
was a little bit of 90 80s and 90s sci -fi tropes

01:18:18.939 --> 01:18:23.319
in this killer scorpions A classic kind of, I'm

01:18:23.319 --> 01:18:25.739
sure I've seen loads of things where they're

01:18:25.739 --> 01:18:28.460
deadly. Liquid nitrogen is the cure -all to all

01:18:28.460 --> 01:18:31.260
bad guys. Yep. Terminator 2. Yeah. It's like

01:18:31.260 --> 01:18:34.520
Demolition Man. Demolition Man, yes. Essentially

01:18:34.520 --> 01:18:36.500
that's liquid nitrogen, isn't it? You know, it

01:18:36.500 --> 01:18:40.659
did feel a bit like that, but not in a bad way.

01:18:40.899 --> 01:18:44.380
No. It gave me a kind of nice warm feeling. As

01:18:44.380 --> 01:18:48.600
soon as I saw the liquid nitrogen kind of steam.

01:18:49.180 --> 01:18:51.600
is it coming off of the piece that he had in

01:18:51.600 --> 01:18:54.479
his house yeah and i was like my one of my answers

01:18:54.479 --> 01:18:56.159
why the fucking hell has he got something with

01:18:56.159 --> 01:18:58.199
liquid nitrogen in it which actually he addresses

01:18:58.199 --> 01:19:01.479
later on and that's calling it and if you look

01:19:01.479 --> 01:19:03.479
at that's actually a genuine thing yeah and i

01:19:03.479 --> 01:19:05.300
was like okay great he's acknowledged that that's

01:19:05.300 --> 01:19:07.619
fucking ridiculous to have that but then in my

01:19:07.619 --> 01:19:10.260
head i was like they're definitely going to use

01:19:10.260 --> 01:19:13.319
liquid nitrogen again in this film later they've

01:19:13.319 --> 01:19:16.380
got the science man on set who's done that He's

01:19:16.380 --> 01:19:18.579
going to be back. And I wasn't surprised when

01:19:18.579 --> 01:19:22.260
I saw it later on. Saying then we'd go back and

01:19:22.260 --> 01:19:24.619
talk about these guys then. So there is a cleanup

01:19:24.619 --> 01:19:26.939
crew the aliens use and you assume that they

01:19:26.939 --> 01:19:30.659
are also alien. But what you don't know, are

01:19:30.659 --> 01:19:32.939
they the same alien or are they other aliens

01:19:32.939 --> 01:19:35.779
or are they just, you never know because these

01:19:35.779 --> 01:19:39.460
guys will operate a gardening service. And it's

01:19:39.460 --> 01:19:42.239
almost like Gordian goes and turns up and says,

01:19:42.279 --> 01:19:44.159
I understand you can fix things. So it's like.

01:19:45.020 --> 01:19:47.960
are these people human or are they not human?

01:19:48.199 --> 01:19:50.819
No, I think they are aliens, but it kind of felt

01:19:50.819 --> 01:19:53.819
to me like maybe they're a different sect of

01:19:53.819 --> 01:19:55.840
the aliens. They're like the mafia of the aliens.

01:19:55.899 --> 01:19:58.359
They're doing other stuff. They're not part of

01:19:58.359 --> 01:20:01.420
the science team trying to do these things. Because

01:20:01.420 --> 01:20:02.640
he comes up to him, doesn't he? He goes, oh,

01:20:02.720 --> 01:20:05.520
I hear that you can tidy things up or something,

01:20:05.579 --> 01:20:08.880
doesn't he? That's it. And this is when we get

01:20:08.880 --> 01:20:12.500
introduced to probably one of the coolest things

01:20:12.500 --> 01:20:17.050
in the film. And I really love this weird brass

01:20:17.050 --> 01:20:23.409
-looking metallic ball that they use to clean

01:20:23.409 --> 01:20:25.989
up the mess that's been left. And it's brilliant.

01:20:26.090 --> 01:20:28.850
It's this metallic ball, and he rolls it into

01:20:28.850 --> 01:20:31.949
a room once it's been triggered. And a bit like

01:20:31.949 --> 01:20:34.189
Hellraiser, it kind of starts popping to bits,

01:20:34.189 --> 01:20:36.670
but then it starts spinning, and you've got this

01:20:36.670 --> 01:20:39.909
kind of laser light going around, and everything

01:20:39.909 --> 01:20:43.260
gets just sucked into it. So the room is absolutely

01:20:43.260 --> 01:20:45.279
empty. And when they do it in the loft, it looks

01:20:45.279 --> 01:20:48.520
such a really effective effect. And the great

01:20:48.520 --> 01:20:51.100
shot where it sucks a bird through the air. Yes.

01:20:51.100 --> 01:20:53.420
And the only thing left is just a feather just

01:20:53.420 --> 01:20:55.760
floating down. I was like, that was a neat little

01:20:55.760 --> 01:20:59.619
touch. It was a really, really nice little touch,

01:20:59.699 --> 01:21:01.960
that thing. And then obviously they use it in

01:21:01.960 --> 01:21:04.680
the radio satellite as well, causing it to collapse,

01:21:04.819 --> 01:21:10.260
which was, again, also very cool. And it wasn't

01:21:10.260 --> 01:21:13.359
overused. No, I think it only happens three times.

01:21:13.359 --> 01:21:17.000
It happens twice. You see it happen twice, but

01:21:17.000 --> 01:21:20.260
you assume there's a third time before you see

01:21:20.260 --> 01:21:22.560
it the first time, isn't there? I don't know

01:21:22.560 --> 01:21:24.659
if they do it or if they just turn up and kill.

01:21:24.699 --> 01:21:27.460
That's when they're killing. Because they know

01:21:27.460 --> 01:21:30.899
he's not done anything. Whereas at Zane's house,

01:21:30.939 --> 01:21:32.859
they know he's got all the recordings and everything.

01:21:33.220 --> 01:21:35.800
So it needs cleaning up. I think they just kill

01:21:35.800 --> 01:21:41.289
his mate to start with. But again. Great character.

01:21:41.329 --> 01:21:44.609
No speech from him. Even when they go out and

01:21:44.609 --> 01:21:47.869
they see Kiki, which is what throws you. Yeah,

01:21:47.869 --> 01:21:51.010
because he's just smiling at you. Then this is

01:21:51.010 --> 01:21:52.789
why I'm saying, are they a different alien? Because

01:21:52.789 --> 01:21:55.010
Kiki's an alien. He knows what's going on. But

01:21:55.010 --> 01:21:58.270
Kiki doesn't tell him. Go back to it. Kiki never

01:21:58.270 --> 01:21:59.710
tells him that the people have been to the loft.

01:21:59.829 --> 01:22:01.909
Your gardeners have been. Well, what gardeners?

01:22:02.510 --> 01:22:03.869
Yeah, and then when they go up into the thing,

01:22:03.869 --> 01:22:06.170
at no point do you go, oh yeah, they went up

01:22:06.170 --> 01:22:09.739
there. He doesn't say it. No. Exactly. So it's

01:22:09.739 --> 01:22:12.560
like, actually, yeah, you know what? There's

01:22:12.560 --> 01:22:17.279
another link back to Kiki being a shitbag. Yeah,

01:22:17.300 --> 01:22:19.699
I did send you a text tonight going, Kiki, you

01:22:19.699 --> 01:22:21.079
know, what have you done? I said something like

01:22:21.079 --> 01:22:23.399
that tonight. You're a traitor. Does that really

01:22:23.399 --> 01:22:26.340
do... When you get... So that bit right at the

01:22:26.340 --> 01:22:28.939
end, everything's in place. The woman's holding

01:22:28.939 --> 01:22:31.640
the door closed with these chains because all

01:22:31.640 --> 01:22:33.640
these aliens' hands are coming through like it's

01:22:33.640 --> 01:22:36.340
something out of fucking The Walking Dead. And

01:22:36.340 --> 01:22:38.899
he's done all the machines set up to get the

01:22:38.899 --> 01:22:41.079
dish aligned. And all that needs to happen is

01:22:41.079 --> 01:22:42.859
someone in the other room just needs to press

01:22:42.859 --> 01:22:46.619
one button to send this tape cassette recording

01:22:46.619 --> 01:22:49.720
to wherever it's going. Yeah. And it's Kiki's

01:22:49.720 --> 01:22:51.720
job and he doesn't press it. He doesn't. And

01:22:51.720 --> 01:22:53.180
then he calmly walks to the door. He walks over

01:22:53.180 --> 01:22:55.880
to the door, opens it and lets the alien in.

01:22:56.000 --> 01:23:00.000
Yeah. And I was like, no. So I've got the WhatsApp

01:23:00.000 --> 01:23:03.100
here. So 38 minutes in, not much has happened.

01:23:03.529 --> 01:23:05.069
I'm not bored. I've actually stopped playing

01:23:05.069 --> 01:23:08.609
Hytale to focus, LOL, because he's a cool kid.

01:23:08.789 --> 01:23:12.590
Yeah, lol. Jesus Christ, the bar, all in capital

01:23:12.590 --> 01:23:16.590
letters, old man. I only have 20 minutes left.

01:23:17.270 --> 01:23:23.770
Kiki, you son of a bitch. Yeah, I just, I was,

01:23:23.789 --> 01:23:26.430
yeah, shocked. So what I was expecting was they'd

01:23:26.430 --> 01:23:29.010
promised him something to help his grandma. that's

01:23:29.010 --> 01:23:32.270
that's what i was expecting i didn't until that

01:23:32.270 --> 01:23:35.050
very moment where they're both on top of the

01:23:35.050 --> 01:23:37.689
wrecked dish it wasn't until then i was like

01:23:37.689 --> 01:23:42.149
he's an alien of course he's an alien crunch

01:23:42.149 --> 01:23:46.829
crunch legs back to front awful animation of

01:23:46.829 --> 01:23:49.409
him running off into their distance fucking dreadful

01:23:49.409 --> 01:23:52.310
it looks like they've got someone to run towards

01:23:52.310 --> 01:23:55.310
the screen yeah and then they've cut the top

01:23:55.310 --> 01:23:57.600
of him off and played it backwards Well, possibly.

01:23:57.779 --> 01:23:59.500
That's what it looked like. That's what it looked

01:23:59.500 --> 01:24:02.039
like to me. Possibly, yes. That would make sense.

01:24:02.159 --> 01:24:07.779
To wrap it up, I think I enjoyed it, wasn't bored,

01:24:08.100 --> 01:24:11.220
I was engaged. Yeah, it was an hour. When I noticed

01:24:11.220 --> 01:24:14.340
it was an hour 55, I thought, oh, no. But as

01:24:14.340 --> 01:24:17.779
I said, 38 minutes, a couple of things happened,

01:24:17.859 --> 01:24:20.819
not really loads. I wasn't bored. I was enjoying

01:24:20.819 --> 01:24:23.380
it. I do like a slow burn sci -fi. I wouldn't

01:24:23.380 --> 01:24:26.920
call this as a slow burn sci -fi. No. you know

01:24:26.920 --> 01:24:30.199
the all the exposition all the other bits were

01:24:30.199 --> 01:24:32.760
world building and character building and were

01:24:32.760 --> 01:24:35.699
it wouldn't it wouldn't be the same film without

01:24:35.699 --> 01:24:39.859
them it's got a solid story it's not badly filmed

01:24:39.859 --> 01:24:44.020
um it deserves a bit of love in my opinion i'm

01:24:44.020 --> 01:24:46.699
just looking at this yeah uh budget was estimated

01:24:46.699 --> 01:24:50.960
at 25 million really uh opening weekend in us

01:24:50.960 --> 01:24:54.130
and canada was Just under 5 million. Oh, what

01:24:54.130 --> 01:24:56.829
a shame. And gross worldwide was 14 million.

01:24:56.829 --> 01:24:59.890
Oh, that's a shame because I think it must have

01:24:59.890 --> 01:25:02.510
cult classic status now. I think it's got to.

01:25:02.609 --> 01:25:05.390
And then let me just check here because I'm pretty

01:25:05.390 --> 01:25:09.210
sure I'm right. Independence, yeah, 96, same

01:25:09.210 --> 01:25:12.369
year, Independence Day came out. So if you think...

01:25:12.649 --> 01:25:15.550
These two came out at similar times. You saw

01:25:15.550 --> 01:25:18.890
two trailers for an alien -based film. One is

01:25:18.890 --> 01:25:21.510
Charlie Sheen, and one is Will Smith, straight

01:25:21.510 --> 01:25:26.489
out of Fresh Prince of Bel -Air. Men in Black.

01:25:27.630 --> 01:25:31.729
95 or 97? I think Men in Black might be after.

01:25:32.289 --> 01:25:35.430
97, so it's a year later. But Will Smith is just

01:25:35.430 --> 01:25:39.569
fresh out of his rap career. Yeah, it's pre -Wild

01:25:39.569 --> 01:25:43.190
Wild West. Yeah, pre -Wild Wild West. Cripe.

01:25:43.190 --> 01:25:49.529
He is the world's darling that the world is focusing

01:25:49.529 --> 01:25:52.369
on. How the mighty have fallen. Absolutely. But

01:25:52.369 --> 01:25:54.750
who are you going to focus on if those two films

01:25:54.750 --> 01:25:56.510
come out at the same time? Well, I mean, even

01:25:56.510 --> 01:25:59.470
without that, let's say Will Smith was in both

01:25:59.470 --> 01:26:02.229
of them. I mean, Independence Day is, you know,

01:26:02.250 --> 01:26:04.789
it's a better film. You can certainly deny it's

01:26:04.789 --> 01:26:06.229
a better film. But I would say, though, Independence

01:26:06.229 --> 01:26:08.829
Day, it does have some ropey CGI in it. You know

01:26:08.829 --> 01:26:11.189
what? Independence Day, I tried re -watching

01:26:11.189 --> 01:26:14.989
it A couple of months back now. Fuck me, does

01:26:14.989 --> 01:26:17.329
it drag. I mean, it's going to be on the list

01:26:17.329 --> 01:26:18.710
of ones for us to watch. I remember the first

01:26:18.710 --> 01:26:20.970
time I watched it was at the cinema with my mum.

01:26:20.989 --> 01:26:23.010
We went to see it at Hatfield the Galleria. I

01:26:23.010 --> 01:26:24.770
think I might have seen it at the cinema. I don't

01:26:24.770 --> 01:26:26.470
know who with though. And thoroughly enjoyed

01:26:26.470 --> 01:26:28.909
it. And it didn't feel like it was bum -numbing

01:26:28.909 --> 01:26:31.869
at all. But were you watching it now? It drags.

01:26:32.069 --> 01:26:34.970
Maybe. I'm just looking here at the difference.

01:26:35.310 --> 01:26:39.050
So, 50 million more budget. 75 million. Oh, Jesus.

01:26:39.730 --> 01:26:42.689
75 million budget estimated. Opening weekend

01:26:42.689 --> 01:26:46.109
US and Canada was 50 million. Gross worldwide,

01:26:46.590 --> 01:26:50.489
817 million. Everyone else in the world loved

01:26:50.489 --> 01:26:54.189
it. Yeah, but I do actually think it's a good

01:26:54.189 --> 01:26:56.329
film. It's a good game too. It's a PS2 game of

01:26:56.329 --> 01:26:57.550
the Independence Day. It's quite good. PlayStation

01:26:57.550 --> 01:27:00.050
1. It's PlayStation 1. It's PS1, yeah. It's quite

01:27:00.050 --> 01:27:03.010
good. I enjoyed Independence Day. The book's

01:27:03.010 --> 01:27:05.270
hysterical because it's the alternate ending.

01:27:06.140 --> 01:27:08.119
In the book. What's the alternate ending? So

01:27:08.119 --> 01:27:11.079
Randy Quaid, old drunk farmer, yeah? Oh, yeah,

01:27:11.159 --> 01:27:14.239
you told me about it. Yeah, straps a missile

01:27:14.239 --> 01:27:17.920
to his biplane and flies that in instead. Yeah.

01:27:18.140 --> 01:27:21.180
And allegedly there is an alternate ending available

01:27:21.180 --> 01:27:23.960
with that. I don't know if that's true. Didn't

01:27:23.960 --> 01:27:24.939
they think it was too bleak or something or they

01:27:24.939 --> 01:27:27.859
didn't want to have that? Anyway, back to The

01:27:27.859 --> 01:27:32.039
Arrival. I enjoyed it. it's nice that we're it's

01:27:32.039 --> 01:27:34.300
nice when we have good ones on this show it's

01:27:34.300 --> 01:27:36.039
nice for having one that actually has something

01:27:36.039 --> 01:27:38.260
to talk about as well because this really did

01:27:38.260 --> 01:27:41.560
because it was a surprise to me it could be that

01:27:41.560 --> 01:27:43.960
good um oh and something i didn't say so very

01:27:43.960 --> 01:27:46.000
very quickly did you notice on the ship when

01:27:46.000 --> 01:27:48.140
he's not in the ship in the power plant when

01:27:48.140 --> 01:27:50.380
he's at that bit where the giant pod flops down

01:27:50.380 --> 01:27:53.020
and drops in the alien sees him and there's all

01:27:53.020 --> 01:27:54.960
these screens dotted around that then start showing

01:27:54.960 --> 01:27:59.380
his face The screens are held by this brass -looking

01:27:59.380 --> 01:28:02.039
human hand. I didn't notice. It looks like one

01:28:02.039 --> 01:28:04.600
of their hands holding the screen. Oh, I didn't

01:28:04.600 --> 01:28:05.800
notice. I wonder if that's what they've done.

01:28:05.899 --> 01:28:07.920
They've just painted someone's hand. Oh, possibly.

01:28:08.239 --> 01:28:11.699
But anyway, yeah, no, really worth watching.

01:28:11.739 --> 01:28:13.640
If you didn't watch it, watch it because it's

01:28:13.640 --> 01:28:15.920
a solid bit of sci -fi. It's on YouTube free.

01:28:16.039 --> 01:28:19.779
Yeah, absolutely. And on Pluto TV. What's that?

01:28:20.760 --> 01:28:23.899
It's another Amazon thing, I think. Oh, it's

01:28:23.899 --> 01:28:27.350
another fucking streaming service. Yes, but it's

01:28:27.350 --> 01:28:31.189
got something like 50 live channels which are

01:28:31.189 --> 01:28:34.409
just showing shows all day long, 24 -7, and films

01:28:34.409 --> 01:28:36.250
all day long. And then they've got a collection

01:28:36.250 --> 01:28:38.609
of films you can just stream straight up as well.

01:28:38.810 --> 01:28:47.710
Is it free? Yeah. Sponsor us. Transfer complete.

01:28:48.850 --> 01:28:52.050
Okay, so what we're doing now, a new segment,

01:28:52.130 --> 01:28:54.130
and this is how we're going to decide what we're

01:28:54.130 --> 01:28:57.600
going to... watch on the next episode tentatively

01:28:57.600 --> 01:29:00.380
it has two named it's called untitled sci -fi

01:29:00.380 --> 01:29:04.420
roulette or it's 100 sci -fi before you die essentially

01:29:04.420 --> 01:29:09.500
tom has got a list of basically the top 100 sci

01:29:09.500 --> 01:29:13.880
-fi films according to whatever it was ai i stuck

01:29:13.880 --> 01:29:16.180
into gemini because i thought gemini is probably

01:29:16.180 --> 01:29:18.079
going to be one that grabs the most recent data

01:29:18.079 --> 01:29:21.159
and i said give me a list of the top 100 sci

01:29:21.159 --> 01:29:24.180
-fi films and it said a load of bullshit about

01:29:24.180 --> 01:29:26.800
actually that's really hard to do because it's

01:29:26.800 --> 01:29:29.039
very much based on who's written the lists and

01:29:29.039 --> 01:29:32.180
whatever these are the top 20 that are most commonly

01:29:32.180 --> 01:29:34.460
and then you say gemini i'll ask you a fucking

01:29:34.460 --> 01:29:37.140
question things like 2001 blade runner alien

01:29:37.140 --> 01:29:40.140
star wars episode 4 they're all on there but

01:29:40.140 --> 01:29:42.199
then it said what i've then done is i've split

01:29:42.199 --> 01:29:45.119
it into categories like action and alien and

01:29:45.119 --> 01:29:47.239
things like that and i'll give you a whole 100

01:29:47.239 --> 01:29:49.199
and then i said just give me the fucking list

01:29:49.199 --> 01:29:53.449
and i've stuck it into a spinner I fucking asked.

01:29:53.890 --> 01:29:56.529
I didn't ask for your opinion, Gemini. I asked

01:29:56.529 --> 01:29:59.130
you to do a fucking job. You sycophantic little

01:29:59.130 --> 01:30:01.310
wanker. But the point is, this has come about

01:30:01.310 --> 01:30:04.350
because Rob and I often get to this point of

01:30:04.350 --> 01:30:07.729
the show and we then have Rob then say, I haven't

01:30:07.729 --> 01:30:10.670
chosen the film. Shit. And I then throw something

01:30:10.670 --> 01:30:13.829
in there and we just agree on doing that because

01:30:13.829 --> 01:30:16.590
it's easier than thinking of another one. And

01:30:16.590 --> 01:30:19.010
maybe that's been a problem. Like you said, we've

01:30:19.010 --> 01:30:21.409
then watched films that have actually just been.

01:30:22.780 --> 01:30:25.979
good or there's been fuck all to say about them

01:30:25.979 --> 01:30:29.500
yeah so it hasn't it hasn't engaged us enough

01:30:29.500 --> 01:30:31.739
to want to talk for more than 10 or 15 minutes

01:30:31.739 --> 01:30:33.579
about it whereas you're saying we spoke for 25

01:30:33.579 --> 01:30:36.300
minutes about a film that i'd never seen before

01:30:36.300 --> 01:30:38.439
saw an actor in it that we weren't expecting

01:30:38.439 --> 01:30:41.359
and it was actually really good so what we're

01:30:41.359 --> 01:30:43.279
going to do tom's got it on his phone he's going

01:30:43.279 --> 01:30:44.640
to press the button it's going to spin around

01:30:44.640 --> 01:30:46.819
hopefully you pick a film we haven't done before

01:30:46.819 --> 01:30:49.279
uh i don't think there's any on here that we

01:30:49.739 --> 01:30:51.300
What if Alien's on there? We've done Alien. Oh,

01:30:51.300 --> 01:30:53.239
the fifth element's on there. Okay, well, if

01:30:53.239 --> 01:30:56.359
it comes up, we've done it. We have to watch

01:30:56.359 --> 01:30:58.579
the one it gives us. Even if we've both seen

01:30:58.579 --> 01:31:00.659
it a million times, we have to watch it. That's

01:31:00.659 --> 01:31:04.079
the game. Well, yeah, absolutely. I mean, I could

01:31:04.079 --> 01:31:05.579
just add... What were the other ones that we

01:31:05.579 --> 01:31:09.119
said today? Very quickly, we said... What do

01:31:09.119 --> 01:31:11.840
you mean? We said two films. Oh, we should add

01:31:11.840 --> 01:31:14.479
that to this and add that to the list. Shit,

01:31:14.560 --> 01:31:16.279
I can't think of what they were now. Oh, we'll

01:31:16.279 --> 01:31:17.640
think of it anyway another time. We can just

01:31:17.640 --> 01:31:19.949
add it another time. But yeah, what we will be

01:31:19.949 --> 01:31:22.409
doing is once it's selected, we then remove it

01:31:22.409 --> 01:31:24.609
from the list and it becomes 99 films. I hope

01:31:24.609 --> 01:31:26.989
Evolution's on there. Evolution is on there.

01:31:27.010 --> 01:31:29.989
Yes. I love that film. Head and shoulders. Come

01:31:29.989 --> 01:31:31.750
on, right. It's always going. We're going to

01:31:31.750 --> 01:31:40.149
spin it. And it is film number 10. Film number

01:31:40.149 --> 01:31:49.239
10. 1977, Steven Spielberg. Okay. Oh, it's, oh,

01:31:49.279 --> 01:31:52.239
fuck. No, it's not, oh, fuck. That's a... Shit,

01:31:52.340 --> 01:31:55.880
what's it called? Is it Encounters of the...

01:31:55.880 --> 01:31:58.619
Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Close Encounters

01:31:58.619 --> 01:32:00.560
of the Third Kind, yeah. Because I've put that

01:32:00.560 --> 01:32:04.840
noise in the Guess the Intro. One of the, maybe

01:32:04.840 --> 01:32:08.180
the first Guess the Intro. Yes, you did. You

01:32:08.180 --> 01:32:11.140
did indeed. Right, I'm going to remove that from

01:32:11.140 --> 01:32:13.100
the list because I forgot to click remove. So,

01:32:13.100 --> 01:32:17.100
Close Encounters of the Third Kind. What kind?

01:32:17.890 --> 01:32:22.029
Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Okay. Put

01:32:22.029 --> 01:32:27.510
that down. 1977. 1977. Lovely. Bit of a long

01:32:27.510 --> 01:32:30.649
film if I remember rightly. I have seen this

01:32:30.649 --> 01:32:36.649
before. A long time ago. I have. Can't say I

01:32:36.649 --> 01:32:39.409
really remember very much of it. Richard Dreyfuss.

01:32:39.489 --> 01:32:41.569
That was it. Oh, thank you, Karen. Karen sees

01:32:41.569 --> 01:32:44.850
my pussy. Thanks, Karen. Thanks, Karen. I'm a

01:32:44.850 --> 01:32:47.750
bit late on reading that there, but yeah. one

01:32:47.750 --> 01:32:51.510
of one of my pussies uh right it gets a 7 .6

01:32:51.510 --> 01:32:56.750
on imdb so not that much above and i think the

01:32:56.750 --> 01:32:59.470
arrival should probably have got us jesus christ

01:32:59.470 --> 01:33:04.069
i thought you for a moment i thought you'd farted

01:33:04.069 --> 01:33:05.569
and i was like that's really loud in my ears

01:33:05.569 --> 01:33:10.409
the stream was like literally the trailer just

01:33:10.409 --> 01:33:16.949
started playing it really scared me um Two hours,

01:33:17.010 --> 01:33:21.029
18 minutes. Okay. It's a long one. But yeah,

01:33:21.189 --> 01:33:24.989
that's an interesting choice. Yeah. All right.

01:33:25.189 --> 01:33:32.310
All right. Command functions are offline. Okay.

01:33:32.430 --> 01:33:35.069
That's been another episode of the Untitled Sofa

01:33:35.069 --> 01:33:38.590
Show. Thank you very much, everybody, for listening.

01:33:38.710 --> 01:33:41.289
And thank you to those online watching right

01:33:41.289 --> 01:33:43.819
now. The VOD will be available. I think it just
