What have you checked out this week? Mate, 00:00:39.689 --> 00:00:43.829 I've watched so much shit. Okay. I have watched, 00:00:44.090 --> 00:00:46.590 I don't know whether you've seen it, Untamed. 00:00:46.590 --> 00:00:50.549 We spoke about it on Monday. Very well done show. 00:00:51.829 --> 00:00:58.299 I enjoyed it. Was a tad predictive. Okay. So 00:00:58.299 --> 00:01:01.520 without spoiling, but I just want to know personal 00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:04.120 curiosity, is it a supernatural thing? No, which 00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:07.180 I was so upset about. Because it leant towards 00:01:07.180 --> 00:01:09.560 it in the trailer? I was like, hmm. I'm like, 00:01:09.659 --> 00:01:12.480 oh. So the thing that got me thinking about it 00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:14.620 is the appellation of it all. Like I thought, 00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:17.280 oh, this could be leaning into that sort of mystical 00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.379 sort of shit or there could be some cryptids 00:01:19.379 --> 00:01:20.739 in the mountains that are disappearing people. 00:01:20.739 --> 00:01:22.819 Wrong side of the country. Yeah, wrong side of 00:01:22.819 --> 00:01:29.540 the country. Completely down the, you know. Serial 00:01:29.540 --> 00:01:34.120 killer -ish? No. It does delve into, because 00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:39.939 it's set in Yosemite. Yep. So it's set in Yosemite, 00:01:39.980 --> 00:01:44.579 and the thing with it, there's a part in the 00:01:44.579 --> 00:01:47.840 Yellowstone National Park which is very close 00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:50.980 to this, which has no jurisdiction. We've seen 00:01:50.980 --> 00:01:54.620 it in Yellowstone. Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm. There is 00:01:54.620 --> 00:01:56.560 a place where there's no jurisdiction. There 00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:58.980 is no courts. There's no police. There's no due 00:01:58.980 --> 00:02:01.180 process. There's no nothing. Yeah. So I believe 00:02:01.180 --> 00:02:05.599 it's in between two areas where there is, because 00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:08.180 if you tried for anything. It's three. Three. 00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:12.379 Yeah. Yeah. If you're convicted of a crime there, 00:02:12.460 --> 00:02:14.759 you need to be judged by a court of your peers, 00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:17.400 but nobody lives in this area. Yeah. So there's 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:19.419 a loophole that, you know, if you were ever caught, 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:21.419 you couldn't be fucking tried anyway. Exactly. 00:02:21.949 --> 00:02:24.530 The thing with this movie is it really shows 00:02:24.530 --> 00:02:31.069 the vastness of Yosemite National Park, how the 00:02:31.069 --> 00:02:35.110 fact that there could be so many, so many murders 00:02:35.110 --> 00:02:36.889 that happen there and no one's going to know. 00:02:37.030 --> 00:02:39.389 Oh, yeah. The thing that pisses me off about 00:02:39.389 --> 00:02:43.229 this show, this movie, a series. It's a short 00:02:43.229 --> 00:02:45.169 series. I think there's six episodes or something. 00:02:47.610 --> 00:02:51.620 When they go missing, so there's – Based around 00:02:51.620 --> 00:02:55.740 three people, two of them are investigators in 00:02:55.740 --> 00:02:59.680 this national park. They're part of the rangers, 00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:04.319 the park rangers essentially. But they're federal 00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:07.740 police because it's that big. Yep. The thing 00:03:07.740 --> 00:03:11.919 that really pisses me off, this thing spans as 00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:13.659 much as it is. And I'm going to tell you how 00:03:13.659 --> 00:03:16.199 big the Yosemite National Park is right now. 00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:19.949 Based on top of a… Active volcano for anybody 00:03:19.949 --> 00:03:23.229 listening at home. The Yosemite National Park 00:03:23.229 --> 00:03:32.110 spans 759 ,620 square acres. Quite a big parcel 00:03:32.110 --> 00:03:37.349 of land. 1 ,000, sorry, 3 ,074 square kilometres. 00:03:38.909 --> 00:03:45.669 Now, there's parts in this series where one person 00:03:45.669 --> 00:03:48.659 goes looking for something. Gets himself into 00:03:48.659 --> 00:03:52.439 a spot of bother. Phones don't work out there. 00:03:53.219 --> 00:03:57.919 And they're about to die. Struggling. Yep. Then 00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:03.060 all of a sudden someone shows up. Bullshit. Bullshit. 00:04:03.219 --> 00:04:05.460 Yep. And it happens multiple times. Just takes 00:04:05.460 --> 00:04:07.860 you out of the whole show. You know what I'm 00:04:07.860 --> 00:04:13.800 saying? Like, that should be 101. If you're going 00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:17.199 into that wilderness and... you're in 3 ,000 00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:20.300 square kilometres, how are you going to be found 00:04:20.300 --> 00:04:23.100 just by screaming? Yeah, it doesn't make sense. 00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:25.319 No, and a lot of these places where they are, 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:27.240 they're not even on the path. They're nowhere 00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:31.160 near the path. Yeah, so that really bothered 00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:35.939 me. It's so beautiful, shot so well. So the first 00:04:35.939 --> 00:04:39.079 time I saw the trailer, it was on a small screen, 00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:41.620 a smallish screen. It was here. I'm looking into 00:04:41.620 --> 00:04:44.699 the light. But then I watched it again later 00:04:44.699 --> 00:04:47.339 on. It looked like some of it was computer generated. 00:04:48.420 --> 00:04:51.379 What's it like in the TV show? You don't see 00:04:51.379 --> 00:04:54.500 that. Okay. You don't know. There's no hints 00:04:54.500 --> 00:05:01.040 of any – there's no real CG in it. There's a 00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:04.779 part in the first episode where you blink and 00:05:04.779 --> 00:05:08.139 you'll miss it. I think that's the only sort 00:05:08.139 --> 00:05:10.639 of CG element of the whole show. Okay, cool. 00:05:10.779 --> 00:05:15.100 Really. It made me want to go and see shit like 00:05:15.100 --> 00:05:18.699 that because it was just, yeah, insane. I've 00:05:18.699 --> 00:05:22.420 been there. Fuck off. Piece of shit. What about 00:05:22.420 --> 00:05:25.379 you? Okay, so I finished off the Southern Reach 00:05:25.379 --> 00:05:27.839 series, the fourth book. You finished that last 00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.939 week. No, no, that was the third in the original 00:05:30.939 --> 00:05:36.399 trilogy. Okay. So there was a fourth book. So 00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:45.199 we get no real answers. Yeah, thanks. I enjoyed 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:48.339 it for the speculative fiction of the whole thing. 00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:53.439 But it doesn't tell you shit. Not really. There's 00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:57.139 no closure on, you know, oh, it's an invasive 00:05:57.139 --> 00:06:01.600 alien species or it's a rip in the time fucking 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:04.459 space continuum or it's this or it's that. It's 00:06:04.459 --> 00:06:08.939 just a what if of it all, basically. So the fourth 00:06:08.939 --> 00:06:12.689 book comes in. basically explores the lead up 00:06:12.689 --> 00:06:16.209 to everything. It starts decades earlier. So 00:06:16.209 --> 00:06:19.170 I told you about this last week, about how these 00:06:19.170 --> 00:06:22.529 - Ten years earlier. Yeah, they find these fucking 00:06:22.529 --> 00:06:25.410 rabbits from the original book that had gone 00:06:25.410 --> 00:06:28.470 in with cameras, like I'm assuming GoPros or 00:06:28.470 --> 00:06:33.730 something like that. And so this early team of 00:06:33.730 --> 00:06:36.509 biologists goes into the Forgotten Coast is what 00:06:36.509 --> 00:06:39.430 it's called at the time in Florida before Area 00:06:39.430 --> 00:06:42.189 X has - even become a thing. There's weird shit 00:06:42.189 --> 00:06:45.610 going on and they encounter that. It's the first 00:06:45.610 --> 00:06:48.810 kind of documented encounter of weird shit on 00:06:48.810 --> 00:06:52.029 the coast. They find these rabbits. They start 00:06:52.029 --> 00:06:54.790 watching the videos on these cameras. And the 00:06:54.790 --> 00:06:57.029 first thing that I think about is how do they 00:06:57.029 --> 00:06:59.529 know how to watch these cameras? It looks like 00:06:59.529 --> 00:07:01.449 just a black box. These haven't been invented 00:07:01.449 --> 00:07:03.149 yet. What the fuck are you doing? Assumedly. 00:07:03.230 --> 00:07:05.250 There's no talk of telephones like mobile phones 00:07:05.250 --> 00:07:06.730 or anything like that. It's pretty fucking old 00:07:06.730 --> 00:07:09.699 school. So a micro SD card. Somehow they're watching 00:07:09.699 --> 00:07:11.560 these videos and they're seeing their own death 00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:13.800 and every time they watch the video it's something 00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:17.220 different and it gets fucking weird in a cool 00:07:17.220 --> 00:07:20.420 way. Okay. It's a three -part, this book. It 00:07:20.420 --> 00:07:22.879 starts off with this team. They're hearing like 00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:25.079 piano music out in the middle of the Everglades 00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:27.879 and fucking some weird shit happens. It's pretty 00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:31.639 cool. Anyway, so that's told from the perspective 00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:35.000 of this one fella reading the reports of it. 00:07:35.790 --> 00:07:38.769 And then it goes to the second part. It's a little 00:07:38.769 --> 00:07:44.069 bit later on and he's retired but then he's brought 00:07:44.069 --> 00:07:46.550 back into the fold and he's going to investigate 00:07:46.550 --> 00:07:49.250 this area that he's only ever read about in these 00:07:49.250 --> 00:07:52.149 documents. Right. The Forgotten Coast and this 00:07:52.149 --> 00:07:56.310 town nearby where the lighthouse is and all that 00:07:56.310 --> 00:07:59.329 shit. So he's going in there and he's got this 00:07:59.329 --> 00:08:01.689 whole cover story of why he's in there and he's 00:08:01.689 --> 00:08:04.250 meeting some of the people that fucking go in 00:08:04.250 --> 00:08:07.860 and are lost. In the earlier books. Right. So 00:08:07.860 --> 00:08:10.199 you're getting little bits of hints of them and 00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:14.720 pretty much what the agency that's overseeing 00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:18.620 the whole thing is doing in that area. And you 00:08:18.620 --> 00:08:20.939 get some answers to that or what they were doing 00:08:20.939 --> 00:08:24.620 at least. Then it goes on into the third part 00:08:24.620 --> 00:08:28.899 and it's told that from the perspective of a 00:08:28.899 --> 00:08:33.340 dude on... Amphetamines? Amphetamines, yes. Just 00:08:33.340 --> 00:08:37.360 off his guts. Fucking going in, he's in the first 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.940 expedition into. Is this the writer? Oh, man. 00:08:42.059 --> 00:08:44.299 It sounds like he's on the meth. Potentially, 00:08:44.460 --> 00:08:48.759 potentially. And basically because so you hear 00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:51.100 about him in the other two books about he's the 00:08:51.100 --> 00:08:52.960 only one to come back, he's the only one to survive 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:55.940 from the first expedition. Right. He's the cautionary 00:08:55.940 --> 00:08:58.940 tale. He's how they learnt how to go in there 00:08:58.940 --> 00:09:02.940 in the, you know, previous expeditions. And he 00:09:02.940 --> 00:09:07.480 ends up being like a head honcho in the people 00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:09.320 that are kind of overseeing the whole thing. 00:09:09.539 --> 00:09:12.720 But just to see him go in and kind of have no 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:15.759 fucking idea what he's doing and go batshit crazy 00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:17.740 in there because he's coming down off the drugs. 00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:20.519 Fucking hell. Don't read these books if you want 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:23.120 answers. Just go along for the ride. Is it hard 00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:27.559 to follow? No. Okay. No, no. It's constantly 00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:31.799 overlapping. Right. Revealing layers of the onion. 00:09:32.409 --> 00:09:35.590 You just never get to the middle. You never get 00:09:35.590 --> 00:09:38.190 a fucking answer. Do I wish I didn't read it? 00:09:38.250 --> 00:09:42.590 No. Okay. Do I wish I could answer? Yes. Right, 00:09:42.610 --> 00:09:50.470 okay. Speculatively, they say it's aliens and 00:09:50.470 --> 00:09:54.450 they're saying that Area X is not on our world. 00:09:54.690 --> 00:09:57.389 It's a pocket. You go through this pocket and 00:09:57.389 --> 00:09:59.490 it's another world you're on. Even though it's 00:09:59.490 --> 00:10:01.769 very similar to ours, but some weird shit's going 00:10:01.769 --> 00:10:08.009 on. Oh, man. How's it expanding? Yeah. I don't 00:10:08.009 --> 00:10:12.889 know. I don't know. It just is. They don't tell 00:10:12.889 --> 00:10:14.870 you that. No. They don't tell you how there's 00:10:14.870 --> 00:10:16.750 doppelgangers of everyone that goes in, comes 00:10:16.750 --> 00:10:20.350 back out, and how some of them have come back 00:10:20.350 --> 00:10:22.289 fucking weird. Some of them came back with cancer 00:10:22.289 --> 00:10:25.049 and died. Some of them came back and knew that 00:10:25.049 --> 00:10:29.840 they were doppelgangers in the end. Natalie Portman 00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:33.980 from the movie. She goes in. That original one 00:10:33.980 --> 00:10:35.700 dies. The one that comes out is a doppelganger. 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:38.360 She knows she's a doppelganger and she's kind 00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:41.759 of trying to navigate the world knowing she's 00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:44.440 a copy, which is pretty interesting. Dude, this 00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:46.840 gives me a fucking headache. It took me a while 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:48.919 to read because I was like, I'll just put that 00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:50.200 down and I don't know if I'll pick that back 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:52.940 up again. But then I did. It wasn't compelling 00:10:52.940 --> 00:10:55.980 enough to keep me in the story. Right. Because 00:10:55.980 --> 00:11:00.340 the narrative wasn't so compelling, but it was 00:11:00.340 --> 00:11:03.320 worth it in the end. Really? I'd give it a solid 00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:05.600 three and a half stars. Out of ten. Okay, fair. 00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:09.419 So I'm just going to finger blast you with some 00:11:09.419 --> 00:11:11.379 shit that I've watched. Oh, finger blast away. 00:11:11.899 --> 00:11:15.799 So I watched Tomb Raider with Angelina Jolie. 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:17.779 Still holds up. Still a great film. It's the 00:11:17.779 --> 00:11:19.899 best she's ever looked, by the way. Ted Lasso, 00:11:20.019 --> 00:11:22.440 again, re -watched. Sorry, happens every week. 00:11:22.539 --> 00:11:24.860 Just get over it. Jack Reacher, Tom Cruise movie. 00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:27.539 Dude, that still holds up. And yeah, I know, 00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:29.159 he doesn't look like Jack Reacher from the books, 00:11:29.220 --> 00:11:30.600 but he gives a fuck. It was a great movie. That 00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:32.740 scene where he blends in with the baseball cap, 00:11:32.860 --> 00:11:35.659 pretty funny. Nailed it. Because let's face it, 00:11:36.659 --> 00:11:38.440 Alan Richardson ain't going to blend in like 00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:42.240 that motherfucker does. Italian Job, directed 00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:45.620 by F. Gary Gray. Mark Wahlberg, Edward Norton. 00:11:46.740 --> 00:11:50.320 Such a great cast. Great film. The minis. Yeah. 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:54.899 Perfect. So well done. A movie that I've never 00:11:54.899 --> 00:11:57.259 seen. All right, we're getting on to some new 00:11:57.259 --> 00:12:00.259 stuff then. No, no, no. It's old. Like, okay. 00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:03.379 Blue Mountain State, The Rise of Thad Land. What? 00:12:03.500 --> 00:12:06.240 Fucking watch that movie, dude. If you like Van 00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:11.440 Waller, Party Liaison, this movie, holy shit. 00:12:12.019 --> 00:12:15.440 It's just, it's. Is that the second one? Yeah. 00:12:15.580 --> 00:12:17.860 I haven't seen the first one. Okay. Don't worry 00:12:17.860 --> 00:12:21.259 about the first one. Just watch Thad Land. Basically, 00:12:21.259 --> 00:12:26.980 it's. Alan Richardson as Thad, he's gone off 00:12:26.980 --> 00:12:28.700 and he's become this famous footballer, but he 00:12:28.700 --> 00:12:31.679 misses being in college, high school, and he's 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:37.539 like, it's a whole, what do they call them, a 00:12:37.539 --> 00:12:40.200 frat house. The dean wants to sell it, doesn't 00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:41.700 want it to be a party house anymore, so they're 00:12:41.700 --> 00:12:43.299 like, oh, we need to put our money together and 00:12:43.299 --> 00:12:44.600 buy it. Oh, we're all broke. We can't afford 00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:46.019 to buy it. What are we going to do? Oh, Thad 00:12:46.019 --> 00:12:48.000 was part of this. Let's go and ask him for the 00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:49.240 money. He's a multimillionaire now and again. 00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:50.779 The only way I'd ever come back is if you made 00:12:50.779 --> 00:12:53.039 Thad land. He's like, what's Thad land? And so 00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:54.679 Thad hands over a diary, and it's essentially 00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:59.179 what Thad's utopia would be, where it snows, 00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:01.820 but it snows all year round, but the snow is 00:13:01.820 --> 00:13:04.379 actually cocaine. There's chicks with cocaine. 00:13:05.539 --> 00:13:10.940 It's just fucking bonkers and hilarious from 00:13:10.940 --> 00:13:16.259 start to finish. And The Martian. I was having 00:13:16.259 --> 00:13:18.059 a really stressful day the last couple of days 00:13:18.059 --> 00:13:23.070 at work, The Martian just re -centers and away 00:13:23.070 --> 00:13:26.769 you go. Heals you. It does. I've got more that 00:13:26.769 --> 00:13:28.490 I'm going to delve into, but, yeah, that was 00:13:28.490 --> 00:13:31.350 my finger blast quick action. Okay. You finger 00:13:31.350 --> 00:13:34.409 blasted me. Now give me your second thing. Okay. 00:13:34.610 --> 00:13:38.850 There's a new series on Netflix called WWE Unreal. 00:13:39.210 --> 00:13:43.250 Yep. Now I've fallen out of the WWE cycle probably 00:13:43.250 --> 00:13:45.850 about five, six years ago, seven years ago. I 00:13:45.850 --> 00:13:50.000 haven't really paid attention to it. So when 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:54.259 this popped up, I was like, oh, do I really want 00:13:54.259 --> 00:13:56.960 to watch this? You know, I think of Dummy Dash 00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:59.620 with the WWE. It was just shit, boring. It's 00:13:59.620 --> 00:14:01.080 not like Attitude Era back in the day. It was 00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:04.639 Stone Cold, The Rock and all that. And this new 00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:09.960 show, it's, dude, I think this is the best show 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:14.159 that's ever been put out about the WWE. It is 00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:17.460 absolutely phenomenal. Can't say I've seen too 00:14:17.460 --> 00:14:20.080 many. Shows about wrestling. Well, there's like 00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:23.940 Beyond the Mat and Beyond the Mat 2. Then you 00:14:23.940 --> 00:14:25.820 have the Vincent Mann documentary that came out 00:14:25.820 --> 00:14:28.100 last year. And then you've got, you know, just 00:14:28.100 --> 00:14:30.059 all the stuff that comes out about, especially 00:14:30.059 --> 00:14:32.299 around big events like Survivor Series, WrestleMania 00:14:32.299 --> 00:14:33.980 and all that. They always come out with a little 00:14:33.980 --> 00:14:37.840 attachment DVD. This one is six episodes, four 00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:41.820 episodes, maybe six episodes. And it's just really 00:14:41.820 --> 00:14:48.180 well written, well done. It takes you back. stage 00:14:48.180 --> 00:14:55.259 of like a year of WWE dates, how they come up 00:14:55.259 --> 00:14:58.700 with the storylines, the talent, the way that 00:14:58.700 --> 00:15:00.759 they interact with their talent, how the talent 00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:03.960 works, them trying to get billed for a show, 00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:10.519 the heartache of an injury, how close everyone 00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:12.899 is backstage and how much they take care of each 00:15:12.899 --> 00:15:14.500 other and never, ever want to see each other 00:15:14.500 --> 00:15:16.850 hurt. You know what I mean? Yeah. Some accidents 00:15:16.850 --> 00:15:18.549 that happened in the ring, some accidents that 00:15:18.549 --> 00:15:24.590 happened outside the ring. So it's just, I thoroughly 00:15:24.590 --> 00:15:27.769 recommend it. It is a good show. Yeah, okay. 00:15:29.450 --> 00:15:32.210 Even if you're not a wrestling fan, you could 00:15:32.210 --> 00:15:37.230 watch it. It's that good. Okay. And it's got 00:15:37.230 --> 00:15:39.149 Ree Ripley in it for about an hour and a half. 00:15:41.280 --> 00:15:44.940 Ah, see the attraction. Everybody would see the 00:15:44.940 --> 00:15:49.259 attraction. But yeah, I thoroughly recommend 00:15:49.259 --> 00:15:52.240 watching it. It's called WWE Unreal on Netflix. 00:15:52.500 --> 00:15:55.879 Okay. So I finally got around to watching Nosferatu. 00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:00.980 Okay. And the last Robert Eggers movie that is 00:16:00.980 --> 00:16:05.659 out so far. And that's got Skarsgård in that. 00:16:05.820 --> 00:16:10.279 I'll read you the cast. Lily Rose Depp. Okay. 00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:14.340 Nicholas Holt. Oh, yes. Bill Skarsgård. Yeah. 00:16:14.460 --> 00:16:17.899 William Defoe. Willem Defoe. Fuck. Aaron Taylor 00:16:17.899 --> 00:16:22.799 -Johnson. Holy shit. Ralph Ineson. No idea. Galactus. 00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:26.759 Holy fuck. Yeah. Wow. And that's a movie. Man, 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.720 I am a big fan of this dude now. After watching 00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:34.639 the last four movies, big fan. Robert Eggers. Robert 00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:37.000 Eggers. I cannot wait to see what he does with 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:39.259 his werewolf film that's coming out soon. Yeah, 00:16:39.259 --> 00:16:45.250 right. That's the werewolf. Yes. Man, it looks 00:16:45.250 --> 00:16:49.809 fantastic. It's funny. Like, it's the best Willem 00:16:49.809 --> 00:16:52.029 Dafoe has ever been, I reckon, in these movies. 00:16:52.350 --> 00:16:55.850 I've seen him get a head job. I know what you're 00:16:55.850 --> 00:16:59.049 into, but, like, watching this dude, like. I've 00:16:59.049 --> 00:17:00.870 got a gif on my phone where he's dancing across 00:17:00.870 --> 00:17:04.430 the screen like this and it looks like he's got 00:17:04.430 --> 00:17:10.000 three legs. Like, the dialogue in this, in all 00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:14.940 Robert Edgar's movies, lean into the era -specific... 00:17:14.940 --> 00:17:19.940 Right. Like, thys and thous and, like, very kind 00:17:19.940 --> 00:17:27.019 of proper kind of talking. And, like, to see 00:17:27.019 --> 00:17:33.460 the way that Willem Dafoe just fucking plays 00:17:33.460 --> 00:17:38.099 these roles with... What he is fucking conveying 00:17:38.099 --> 00:17:41.460 in these words that isn't natural to us. Yeah. 00:17:42.539 --> 00:17:45.019 Fantastic, man. Yeah, right. It's like almost 00:17:45.019 --> 00:17:48.440 Shakespearean if I was to like Shakespeare. Yeah. 00:17:48.539 --> 00:17:50.420 I don't like Shakespeare. Fuck that shit. No 00:17:50.420 --> 00:17:54.539 one does. But, oh, man, he kills it in every 00:17:54.539 --> 00:17:57.339 one of these movies. He's in all four. Really? 00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:01.200 No, sorry, he's not in The Witch. The Witch with 00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:04.990 two Vs. He's not in that. But. Well, it should 00:18:04.990 --> 00:18:23.690 be called a double V, not a double U. The vvitch 00:18:31.529 --> 00:18:35.130 like projecting and he's speaking in this like 00:18:35.130 --> 00:18:40.430 old style English and it's like, oh. Yeah, right. 00:18:40.549 --> 00:18:43.309 It's not like grating but like impressive when 00:18:43.309 --> 00:18:45.930 he's talking. It's like, whoa, man, that's fucking 00:18:45.930 --> 00:18:49.609 wild. So there's scenes in Nosferatu where it 00:18:49.609 --> 00:18:52.829 kind of nods its head to the old movies, a lot 00:18:52.829 --> 00:18:57.089 of shadow play. Nice. And like he's. Like in 00:18:57.089 --> 00:18:59.559 Bram Stoker. Yeah, and he's reaching out and 00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:03.799 his shadow is reaching out over certain Germany 00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:07.119 somewhere. And as the shadow reaches, his hand 00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:10.539 reaches out over Germany, the plague follows. 00:19:10.900 --> 00:19:13.779 Oh, yeah, right. People are screaming in the 00:19:13.779 --> 00:19:20.359 night and, man, it's pure cinema. Yeah, right. 00:19:20.460 --> 00:19:23.920 He's doing some great shit. See, and that's another 00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:28.609 thing why I loved Werewolf by Night. It looked 00:19:28.609 --> 00:19:32.930 so good. Yeah. Just a small budget one shot. 00:19:33.130 --> 00:19:36.430 It was fantastic. And that's the thing with Werewolf 00:19:36.430 --> 00:19:41.089 by Night and The Lighthouse, they were black 00:19:41.089 --> 00:19:44.589 and white. Yeah. And the contrast ratio. Fantastic. 00:19:44.990 --> 00:19:48.569 So he does this thing, like it's a colour movie. 00:19:49.049 --> 00:19:52.890 Oh, Nosferatu is? Nosferatu is, yeah. Oh, right, 00:19:52.990 --> 00:19:55.230 okay. But he does these things where it's like 00:19:55.230 --> 00:20:01.640 the night time scenes. There's blues in it, but 00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:03.920 it's contrast right up to look like a black and 00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:06.039 white film. So there's a lot of scenes where 00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:08.480 it's like nighttime. It looks almost black and 00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:10.779 white, but there's some blues in that black, 00:20:10.980 --> 00:20:13.180 and they boost the contrast, so they're using 00:20:13.180 --> 00:20:16.619 heavy shadows and shit like that. The cinematography 00:20:16.619 --> 00:20:20.059 that this dude pulls in some of the scenes, the 00:20:20.059 --> 00:20:25.900 rotating camera shots, and I could not. recommend 00:20:25.900 --> 00:20:30.200 these movies more so. Fuck yeah. Yeah, and like 00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:35.480 it's gruesome in parts. You don't need to watch 00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:37.720 these in an order, do you? They're not connected 00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:39.140 at all. No, definitely not connected at all. 00:20:39.220 --> 00:20:43.099 Okay, cool. But this Nosferatu one is a universals 00:20:43.099 --> 00:20:44.619 movie, so like universal monsters. Universal 00:20:44.619 --> 00:20:46.619 monsters. I don't know if it's going to connect 00:20:46.619 --> 00:20:49.299 or anything else or not, but yeah, you can watch 00:20:49.299 --> 00:20:52.299 these out of order any time. Yeah, fuck yes. 00:20:52.339 --> 00:20:57.170 But yeah. Bill Skarsgård plays Dracula, doesn't 00:20:57.170 --> 00:21:02.849 he? Orlok, Count Orlok, who is Nosferatu. And 00:21:02.849 --> 00:21:07.529 very kind of different take on vampires. Yeah, 00:21:07.529 --> 00:21:11.789 right. Yeah, like I'm not going to give anything 00:21:11.789 --> 00:21:17.329 away. Motherfucker. You know how in a lot of 00:21:17.329 --> 00:21:20.339 movies vampires are very perfect looking. But 00:21:20.339 --> 00:21:22.859 then you had Nosferatu where he's a kind of decrepit 00:21:22.859 --> 00:21:25.160 looking kind of cunt. Kind of leads into that. 00:21:25.339 --> 00:21:28.740 You know my ultimate vampire? Have you ever watched? 00:21:31.099 --> 00:21:34.539 Here we go. Have you ever watched Renfield? No, 00:21:34.539 --> 00:21:38.319 I haven't. I want to watch it. Nicholas Cage. 00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:40.400 Nicholas holds us in that too. Nicholas Cage 00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:44.900 as Count Dracula. Yep. Fucking sensational. I've 00:21:44.900 --> 00:21:46.819 been meaning to watch that. I watched it every 00:21:46.819 --> 00:21:50.630 day in the shop here for a week straight. It 00:21:50.630 --> 00:21:52.730 became a running joke. He'd say, Hammy, what 00:21:52.730 --> 00:21:55.950 do you want to watch? Put on Renfield. So he'd 00:21:55.950 --> 00:21:59.089 put on Renfield. Nice. So good. And Nicholas 00:21:59.089 --> 00:22:01.450 Holt. Yeah, Nicholas Holt. Bam. Dude, do yourself 00:22:01.450 --> 00:22:05.430 a favour and watch these four movies, but don't 00:22:05.430 --> 00:22:07.890 just put them on in the shop. Right, so give 00:22:07.890 --> 00:22:11.029 it my undivided attention. Oh, dude, yeah. Put 00:22:11.029 --> 00:22:15.490 yourself in that fucking position. Lighthouse. 00:22:16.009 --> 00:22:19.630 Northman. Northman. The Witch. And there's another 00:22:19.630 --> 00:22:21.289 one coming out, isn't it? Yeah, The Werewolf. 00:22:21.509 --> 00:22:24.549 The Werewolf. The Werewolf. Yeah. All right. 00:22:24.710 --> 00:22:27.269 Sweet. Okay. I might actually watch one of them 00:22:27.269 --> 00:22:29.529 tonight. Which one would you watch first? I'd 00:22:29.529 --> 00:22:32.589 start from the start just because The Witch. 00:22:32.650 --> 00:22:35.430 Okay, perfect. The Witch, sorry. Yeah, The Witch. 00:22:35.569 --> 00:22:38.309 All right, sweet. Number one. And it's good. 00:22:38.390 --> 00:22:43.089 And, like, how many times you will realise that, 00:22:43.150 --> 00:22:45.529 oh, that was kind of referenced in pop culture. 00:22:46.460 --> 00:22:48.200 Yeah, right. On the internet, memes, fucking 00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:50.039 all that kind of shit. How long ago were these 00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:53.420 fucking written? The Witch, I think, was 2014. 00:22:54.220 --> 00:22:56.319 Oh, so they're not old. Not a whole lot old, 00:22:56.319 --> 00:22:59.740 no. They're fucking new. The movies are new or 00:22:59.740 --> 00:23:01.660 the books are new? I don't think they're based. 00:23:01.779 --> 00:23:03.599 They're not based on books. He wrote all these 00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:05.319 by himself. Did he? He wrote and directed them, 00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:09.099 yeah. Oh, okay. Even better. And like, yeah, 00:23:09.140 --> 00:23:14.940 he leans into the culture and the kind of. the 00:23:14.940 --> 00:23:17.920 dialogue of the time that it's set in and, like, 00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:24.200 so Nosferatu is kind of got that gothic but, 00:23:24.279 --> 00:23:30.180 like, industrial age kind of feel about it. The 00:23:30.180 --> 00:23:34.200 Northmen is, it's a different feel but then, 00:23:34.339 --> 00:23:37.200 like, because they're talking about, you know, 00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:39.799 they've got their pagan gods and shit. Yep. There's 00:23:39.799 --> 00:23:46.130 a lot of kind of. dream sequences basically and 00:23:46.130 --> 00:23:50.109 how they see Valhalla and, and shit. And then, 00:23:50.109 --> 00:23:54.450 uh, the lighthouse is the aspect ratio is a perfect 00:23:54.450 --> 00:23:57.210 fucking square. It's fucking weird to watch, 00:23:57.329 --> 00:23:59.670 but then it's all black and white. And then there's 00:23:59.670 --> 00:24:02.849 a lot of scenes that are just famous paintings, 00:24:02.990 --> 00:24:07.470 like the way that they're framed of like, and 00:24:07.470 --> 00:24:14.420 it's sick, man. And the witch is like, One of 00:24:14.420 --> 00:24:17.660 the most colourful grey movies you've ever seen, 00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:21.059 you know, when you think of, like, that time 00:24:21.059 --> 00:24:24.680 period that they portray. I think because it's 00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:27.460 such a new movie. But, like, everything's just 00:24:27.460 --> 00:24:30.740 fucking grey and fucking bleak. But at the same 00:24:30.740 --> 00:24:35.000 time, it's so kind of rich at the same time. 00:24:35.140 --> 00:24:39.079 Fucking Jesus. All right, okay. And then, man, 00:24:39.339 --> 00:24:44.369 he is. jarring in his compositions at times and 00:24:44.369 --> 00:24:48.710 the sound. You've really got to be in to watch 00:24:48.710 --> 00:24:50.950 these movies. So you reckon don't watch it on 00:24:50.950 --> 00:24:53.029 a shitty TV either? Don't watch it on a shitty 00:24:53.029 --> 00:24:56.049 TV. Watch it on a half TV. You want a decent 00:24:56.049 --> 00:24:59.049 TV. You want a decent TV and you want to be invested 00:24:59.049 --> 00:25:02.269 in the movie. Not even that. You can watch it 00:25:02.269 --> 00:25:04.869 with fucking, I watched most of them with headphones 00:25:04.869 --> 00:25:06.630 and stuff, but you want to be kind of invested. 00:25:06.829 --> 00:25:08.710 You don't want to be fucking tattooing because 00:25:08.710 --> 00:25:12.420 you're going to miss some shit. Right. So that's 00:25:12.420 --> 00:25:15.880 like when we watched, we'd done a marathon of 00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:19.799 all the, holy shit, Planet of the Apes movies, 00:25:19.940 --> 00:25:23.559 the new ones. And Ali said, you've got to turn 00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:25.319 that off. And I'm like, why? And she goes, because 00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:27.140 just listening to it, it's a whole heap of fucking 00:25:27.140 --> 00:25:30.960 monkeys screaming for 12 hours. That's true. 00:25:31.259 --> 00:25:34.519 Fair enough. Not much speaking in their movies. 00:25:35.160 --> 00:25:43.160 Yeah. All right. I took. Rachel and Logan to 00:25:43.160 --> 00:25:45.559 see How I Train Your Drag. Okay. What did you 00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:49.660 think? Didn't hate it. Oh, really? No. I didn't 00:25:49.660 --> 00:25:53.720 hate it. It is a shot for shot of the animated 00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:56.420 movie. Basically. It's a little bit longer. There's 00:25:56.420 --> 00:26:02.240 more in it. Shot for shot. Okay. So when I went 00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:04.880 and seen it, I thought that - It was good. It 00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:07.039 was good. It was good. It was good. The comedy 00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:09.339 fell short compared to the animated. Agreed. 00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:14.319 But the emotion hit harder, in my opinion. You 00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:17.400 reckon? Yep. I just don't think we need it. Probably 00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:19.859 not. Even the sound cues were the same, bro. 00:26:20.140 --> 00:26:24.099 Yeah. But the dragons look fucking sick. They 00:26:24.099 --> 00:26:26.859 looked exactly the same. They did not. They looked 00:26:26.859 --> 00:26:30.039 exactly the same. They did not. Even like, what's 00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:31.740 the one that lights itself on fire? It looked 00:26:31.740 --> 00:26:35.279 more menacing. The nightmare. then it's fucking 00:26:35.279 --> 00:26:38.099 Tim Burton lookalike in the fucking animated. 00:26:38.579 --> 00:26:40.720 Same fucking thing. Not quite. The only thing 00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:43.059 that was different, Roughnut and Toughnut were 00:26:43.059 --> 00:26:45.019 different sizes. That was the only thing that 00:26:45.019 --> 00:26:46.920 was different. The dragons were different sizes. 00:26:47.180 --> 00:26:49.480 They looked different. They did. Man, when the 00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:53.440 fucking the queen or whatever you call it at 00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:57.039 the fucking nest came out, that was fucking impressive, 00:26:57.220 --> 00:27:00.400 man. It had more weight than the animated. I 00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:03.279 seen it in 2014. It had more weight this time 00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:04.779 around. Pretty sure it would have weighed the 00:27:04.779 --> 00:27:07.259 same. You know what I'm fucking talking about, 00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:16.299 cunt. Honestly thought, honestly, dude. We probably 00:27:16.299 --> 00:27:18.259 didn't need it. If we didn't have the animated 00:27:18.259 --> 00:27:20.980 movie, that would be fucking sensational. Yeah. 00:27:21.059 --> 00:27:22.440 That live -action one would have been great. 00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:25.380 Yeah. I think the cast they had in the animated 00:27:25.380 --> 00:27:28.640 one was better. I feel like they were more likeable 00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:30.480 in the cartoon than they were in this. Yeah, 00:27:30.500 --> 00:27:32.740 I agree. Yeah, you just didn't. They were kind 00:27:32.740 --> 00:27:35.069 of like, meh. You had the super bad guys in. 00:27:36.809 --> 00:27:43.369 They – so you had – what's his name? Beshamel? 00:27:44.430 --> 00:27:48.650 Source? What? What's his name? I don't know. 00:27:49.049 --> 00:27:56.430 Beshamel. Beshamy? No. No. Beshamel. Beshamel. 00:27:57.509 --> 00:28:02.799 Beshamel. Actor. Why don't you just look up how 00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:08.500 to train your dragon? Jay. Sorry. Jay. It's not 00:28:08.500 --> 00:28:12.299 Beshamel. No. It's Jay Baruchel. All right. Yeah, 00:28:12.339 --> 00:28:14.759 yeah, yeah. As Hiccup, yeah. Yeah. So you had 00:28:14.759 --> 00:28:19.900 him as Hiccup and then you had Fogel. Who played 00:28:19.900 --> 00:28:24.740 Fogel? Fuck. Jesus Christ. You had it open. I 00:28:24.740 --> 00:28:29.319 know. Please hang on. Okay. So you had. Jay Baruchel. 00:28:30.180 --> 00:28:32.700 Baruchel. Baruchel. I think that's how you say 00:28:32.700 --> 00:28:37.240 his name. Buscemi. Yeah. So you had America Ferreira, 00:28:37.299 --> 00:28:41.039 who was Astrid. Jonah Hill was Snotlout. Jonah 00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:44.460 Hill. Kristen Wigg was Roughnut. Craig Ferguson 00:28:44.460 --> 00:28:48.759 was Clobber. Christopher Mintz -Plaz was Fishlegs. 00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:52.960 Was Tim Miller in it? He's not in it. TJ Miller. 00:28:53.099 --> 00:28:56.700 TJ Miller. Was Toughnut. David Tennant was Spitlout. 00:28:58.800 --> 00:29:04.180 So when you sit there and you go, the cast was 00:29:04.180 --> 00:29:07.460 good. They were great, man. That was a fantastic 00:29:07.460 --> 00:29:12.180 cast. Yeah. But, yeah, I just didn't resonate 00:29:12.180 --> 00:29:15.319 with the live action. What did Logan think? He 00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:16.599 loved it. He thought it was the best movie ever. 00:29:17.059 --> 00:29:19.859 And then he went home and watched kids screaming 00:29:19.859 --> 00:29:22.140 at Minecraft and he thought that was the best 00:29:22.140 --> 00:29:24.740 thing ever. Kid's moronic. He's got taste in 00:29:24.740 --> 00:29:26.859 his arse then. Exactly. Like his Uncle Stretch. 00:29:28.119 --> 00:29:30.839 Fuck off. You know what he does like, huh? Fucking 00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:37.380 Aquaman. We can't all be right. I know. Just 00:29:37.380 --> 00:29:41.119 me and Logan. Just me and Logan's right. Lingy 00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:43.799 sides with me. Lingy's got no idea. Lingy's got 00:29:43.799 --> 00:29:47.220 every idea. No, he doesn't. He's stupid. Wow, 00:29:47.420 --> 00:29:49.319 that's rude. He hung a dick around his neck, 00:29:49.339 --> 00:29:53.140 dude. That was a handle. Oh, sorry. That was 00:29:53.140 --> 00:29:59.940 handle. Sorry. Wow, that was so rude. Yeah. But 00:29:59.940 --> 00:30:04.240 that's all I have watched this week. The last 00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:06.859 thing I watched, I am literally halfway through 00:30:06.859 --> 00:30:09.720 the last episode of Andor, season two. Well, 00:30:09.819 --> 00:30:12.339 I better go home and punch out the last four 00:30:12.339 --> 00:30:16.700 episodes then. Yeah, you better because the last 00:30:16.700 --> 00:30:21.200 four episodes are fucking heavy. Fuck, man, I 00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:23.480 knew they were going to get into it. I knew they 00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:25.720 were going to get into it, considering it rolls 00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:27.980 straight into Rogue One. So I think the last 00:30:27.980 --> 00:30:30.960 four is the last time skip. Is it the last time? 00:30:31.000 --> 00:30:34.319 No, there's two time skips. There's three time 00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:36.299 skips in this entire season. I'm up to the first 00:30:36.299 --> 00:30:39.779 one. Yeah, so I'm pretty sure you're up to, if 00:30:39.779 --> 00:30:41.880 you've got four more to go, you've got a time 00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:44.200 skip now, and then you've got another one before 00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:48.440 the last two. Holy shit. Okay, well, I'm going 00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:52.619 to watch that and say, no. No. I'm going to do 00:30:52.619 --> 00:30:55.619 that Wednesday next week. That way it'll be nice 00:30:55.619 --> 00:31:01.240 and fresh. Fresh. So I will ruin but not ruin. 00:31:02.099 --> 00:31:05.880 You get K2SO for the last two episodes. Is that 00:31:05.880 --> 00:31:13.940 it? But he's good. He's good. No. No. No. No, 00:31:13.940 --> 00:31:16.500 because they have a seemingly longer relationship. 00:31:16.599 --> 00:31:21.559 So this time jump must be. Significant. How many 00:31:21.559 --> 00:31:26.619 years? One. There's a nice bonding scene at the 00:31:26.619 --> 00:31:30.640 start of the second to last episode. No, not 00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:36.220 that. No? Damn it. Okay. Well, that's it. That's 00:31:36.220 --> 00:31:38.460 this week in review. That is. Thanks for joining 00:31:38.460 --> 00:31:40.460 us, everybody. Like, comment, subscribe.
