00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:18.059
Welcome listeners to a very special mini podcast

00:00:18.059 --> 00:00:20.480
episode. We're going to be explaining the categories

00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:23.100
that we have for our podcast types, the viewing

00:00:23.100 --> 00:00:25.600
views, because they're specifically named to

00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:28.579
different movies and movie moments and TV moments.

00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:31.780
So before you're like, what the heck does Sam

00:00:31.780 --> 00:00:33.880
mean when he's talking about the prestige category?

00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:36.520
We're going to explain that all here so that

00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:38.619
you feel prepped and ready to go as we get down

00:00:38.619 --> 00:00:41.299
the line. Not every single type of viewing views

00:00:41.299 --> 00:00:42.719
is going to have all the categories, but this

00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:45.460
will have... Every single one of them listed

00:00:45.460 --> 00:00:49.420
for you so that you understand and know. I'm

00:00:49.420 --> 00:00:53.880
Sam Williams. And I'm Sierra Obermark. I'm here

00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.920
to listen and learn. Indeed. So I put together

00:00:56.920 --> 00:00:59.119
the categories with the exception of one towards

00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:01.719
the very end. So you will be hearing me explain

00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:04.959
to Sierra what I did in order to create these

00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:07.560
categories. And without further ado, we're going

00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.530
to dive on in, which is from... an American Dad

00:01:11.530 --> 00:01:14.150
episode where Roger Smith is an Australian business

00:01:14.150 --> 00:01:16.629
owner. And I, because we're going to be doing

00:01:16.629 --> 00:01:18.629
some deep dives, I thought dive on in was great.

00:01:18.709 --> 00:01:21.489
And I say dive on in like that all the time.

00:01:21.769 --> 00:01:24.590
So that's why I will be saying that. Our first

00:01:24.590 --> 00:01:26.650
category is a story recap without any actual

00:01:26.650 --> 00:01:29.189
special naming. That's going to be very straightforward.

00:01:29.530 --> 00:01:33.180
It's a story recap. You guys get it. Then there's

00:01:33.180 --> 00:01:35.379
time for a reality check, which is not based

00:01:35.379 --> 00:01:38.099
on anything. It's just us talking about real

00:01:38.099 --> 00:01:40.319
life stuff. So I thought reality check would

00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:42.939
be fun. All right, now here's the actual categories.

00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:46.019
First category is keep your finger on the pause

00:01:46.019 --> 00:01:48.640
button and rewind that tape. It's time for the

00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:52.180
prestige. category okay the prestige is a Christian

00:01:52.180 --> 00:01:54.920
Bale, Hugh Jackman film where there's a major

00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:57.719
major spoiler at the or not a major spoiler a

00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.900
very major reveal at the end so when you watch

00:02:00.900 --> 00:02:03.680
the movie you can never see the movie the same

00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:06.540
way and you're always going to notice new things

00:02:06.540 --> 00:02:08.259
so when we're talking about what did we notice

00:02:08.259 --> 00:02:10.759
on this watch through we named it after the prestige

00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:12.719
because you always end up noticing different

00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:15.800
things and new things on every re -watch due

00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.310
to that does that make sense to you Sierra it

00:02:18.310 --> 00:02:21.189
really really does i love that movie if you haven't

00:02:21.189 --> 00:02:22.930
seen it please go watch it yeah we didn't want

00:02:22.930 --> 00:02:26.310
to spoil it uh Sierra made me Sierra made me

00:02:26.310 --> 00:02:29.449
not put the spoiler in even though it's older

00:02:29.449 --> 00:02:33.169
than like 15 years um doesn't matter it matters

00:02:33.169 --> 00:02:37.939
to me Okay, next category. You know you don't

00:02:37.939 --> 00:02:39.860
always have to face down a horde of angry soldiers

00:02:39.860 --> 00:02:41.719
by yourself. Buckle up, Schmishners, because

00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:45.219
it's time for our Sansa is smarter than Jon category

00:02:45.219 --> 00:02:47.400
for what is the most important character moment

00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:52.060
of this blank episode, TV show, movie. So this

00:02:52.060 --> 00:02:55.039
moment is from Game of Thrones, where Sansa's,

00:02:55.099 --> 00:02:57.120
like, ultimate character arc is kind of revealed.

00:02:57.479 --> 00:02:59.819
Jon Snow has come in, they finally teamed up

00:02:59.819 --> 00:03:02.930
in Winterfell, and... He's like, I'm going out

00:03:02.930 --> 00:03:06.229
to face this army basically by myself. And Sansa

00:03:06.229 --> 00:03:08.430
just straight up doesn't listen to him, which

00:03:08.430 --> 00:03:10.449
is so different from what she was. It's an incredibly

00:03:10.449 --> 00:03:12.909
important character moment for Sansa. Sierra,

00:03:13.050 --> 00:03:14.669
you know this show very well. Does this make

00:03:14.669 --> 00:03:17.210
sense? And does that seem like a good moment?

00:03:18.050 --> 00:03:22.409
It does. It does. This is her coming of age moment.

00:03:22.629 --> 00:03:25.430
This is where we really see her in her element.

00:03:26.189 --> 00:03:29.189
And this is where we kind of go, Jon, we love

00:03:29.189 --> 00:03:35.340
you, but no. Indeed. Next category. I know you

00:03:35.340 --> 00:03:38.199
just lost a hand, but listen up. It's the I am

00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:41.360
your father category for most iconic character

00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:43.719
moment. I don't know that much needs to be explained

00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:45.939
here. It's the most iconic character moment,

00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:50.159
maybe in movie history. Yeah, that's pretty self

00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:52.340
-explanatory right there, in my opinion. Indeed.

00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:57.349
Everybody sit down. It's time for our I. I am

00:03:57.349 --> 00:03:59.669
Iron Man. Most iconic and most important scene

00:03:59.669 --> 00:04:02.710
category. I chose this one because I am Iron

00:04:02.710 --> 00:04:05.930
Man is literally both the most important scene

00:04:05.930 --> 00:04:08.370
in that movie and the most iconic scene in that

00:04:08.370 --> 00:04:10.229
movie. And we're kind of squishing both of those

00:04:10.229 --> 00:04:13.110
into one category. I chose that from Iron Man.

00:04:13.189 --> 00:04:21.250
From what? We will also be doing, if applicable,

00:04:21.490 --> 00:04:23.709
if there are any deleted scenes that are specifically...

00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:26.980
really important that that feels like it changes

00:04:26.980 --> 00:04:28.680
the movie somehow we're going to be doing the

00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.800
uh jack sparrow did what category which goes

00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:34.079
like this as a bonus we're reaching into the

00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:36.319
archives to find that camino isn't there it's

00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:39.720
our jack sparrow did what category for deleted

00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:41.560
scenes that make a major impact on the story

00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:44.500
this comes from uh the third Pirates of the Caribbean

00:04:44.500 --> 00:04:47.740
which uh robbed us of this incredible backstory

00:04:47.740 --> 00:04:50.800
of Jack Sparrow where We find out that Jack Sparrow

00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:53.160
worked for the East India Trading Company, that

00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:55.019
they asked him to go pick up slaves, that he

00:04:55.019 --> 00:04:58.459
refused to do that because he said, quote unquote,

00:04:58.860 --> 00:05:03.240
people aren't cargo. And that's why he owns Davy

00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:06.699
Jones 100 souls. And also he was masting and

00:05:06.699 --> 00:05:10.339
captaining the Pearl, not the Black Pearl. Beckett,

00:05:10.339 --> 00:05:13.220
after Jack Sparrow releases those slaves, goes

00:05:13.220 --> 00:05:15.600
and burns his ship, making it the Black Pearl.

00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:18.779
Don't know why it's not in the movie. It's incredibly

00:05:18.779 --> 00:05:22.040
important to understand and makes Jack Sparrow

00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:25.339
so much cooler. And it just can't happen, apparently.

00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.860
We were robbed. If we ever get deleted scenes

00:05:28.860 --> 00:05:31.459
that do that, we'll mention them here. Make sense?

00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:38.209
Yes. Excellent. Aggravating, but yes. I don't

00:05:38.209 --> 00:05:40.509
know if you ever saw this tweet. Maybe I've explained

00:05:40.509 --> 00:05:41.810
it because I love explaining this to people to

00:05:41.810 --> 00:05:45.269
use here. But crack home an encyclopedia. It's

00:05:45.269 --> 00:05:49.129
time for our, as Elijah Wood once said, no. How

00:05:49.129 --> 00:05:52.250
could we have known category where we discuss

00:05:52.250 --> 00:05:54.470
the most important information disseminated to

00:05:54.470 --> 00:05:58.329
fandom in this movie? This comes from a wonderful

00:05:58.329 --> 00:06:03.220
tweet. So the Star Wars Holocron. uh did a did

00:06:03.220 --> 00:06:07.199
you know post on Twitter at the time, X now and

00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:09.819
it said it was just after Rise of Skywalker it's

00:06:09.819 --> 00:06:13.560
about Rise of Skywalker it says the Star Wars

00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:17.000
Holocon tweeted did you know the sith eternal

00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.240
fleet seen in Star Wars the Rise of Skywalker

00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:23.079
Was created by Sith cultists on Exegol, who indoctrinated

00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:25.519
Exegol's population with Sith values and raised

00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:28.060
their children, raised and trained their children

00:06:28.060 --> 00:06:30.160
to become officers, mechanics, and soldiers for

00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:33.160
the first, for the final order. And Elijah Wood

00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:36.819
just goes, no. How could we have known? Which

00:06:36.819 --> 00:06:40.300
is just the best. It's so good. It's so good,

00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:42.379
because Rise of Skywalker is kind of filled with

00:06:42.379 --> 00:06:45.220
a bunch of, like, what? How? That wasn't shown

00:06:45.220 --> 00:06:48.939
at all. And so that's where that's what's the

00:06:48.939 --> 00:06:50.899
most important information disseminated. What's

00:06:50.899 --> 00:06:53.180
actually given to us as a fandom in this movie.

00:06:53.660 --> 00:06:58.500
Yes. So, yes, I do. I do remember seeing that

00:06:58.500 --> 00:07:01.060
and that exploding all over the place because

00:07:01.060 --> 00:07:06.100
everybody was like, Elijah Wood, a fandom person

00:07:06.100 --> 00:07:09.360
commenting on another fandom thing. Photo baggots

00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:14.370
himself like Star Wars. Yes. Then there's the

00:07:14.370 --> 00:07:18.529
time to keep your horses safe. It's the I'm going

00:07:18.529 --> 00:07:20.750
to make him an offer he can't refuse category

00:07:20.750 --> 00:07:23.610
of best lines. Okay, so this one, it's from The

00:07:23.610 --> 00:07:26.430
Godfather. I'm going to give him an offer he

00:07:26.430 --> 00:07:29.529
can't refuse. It's like, that's a terrible version

00:07:29.529 --> 00:07:32.189
of that line. But that is like one of the most

00:07:32.189 --> 00:07:34.769
memorable lines from that movie. Now, why does

00:07:34.769 --> 00:07:37.730
it say keep your horses safe? This is a spoiler

00:07:37.730 --> 00:07:40.750
for this movie if you've not seen it. So skip

00:07:40.750 --> 00:07:43.230
forward like 30 seconds. The Godfather gives

00:07:43.230 --> 00:07:45.670
this man an offer he can't refuse. He does refuse

00:07:45.670 --> 00:07:48.269
it. The man takes his prize horse, decapitates

00:07:48.269 --> 00:07:51.189
it, puts it in the bed of this man. The man wakes

00:07:51.189 --> 00:07:53.569
up next to it. It's an iconic scene. And it's

00:07:53.569 --> 00:07:56.129
also the best line, in my opinion, from The Godfather.

00:07:56.310 --> 00:08:00.990
Make sense? Yes. Cool. No qualms. Logical. No

00:08:00.990 --> 00:08:05.410
qualms. Okay. I have qualms. Time to board the

00:08:05.410 --> 00:08:09.250
TARDIS. It's time to explore what ifs with our

00:08:09.250 --> 00:08:12.629
get out category. Now. This one, the TARDIS is

00:08:12.629 --> 00:08:14.829
all about sort of flying around and then there

00:08:14.829 --> 00:08:17.629
end up being parallel universes because the Doctor

00:08:17.629 --> 00:08:20.009
is constantly messing up the universe, which

00:08:20.009 --> 00:08:21.870
is why the TARDIS is in there. Now, why is Get

00:08:21.870 --> 00:08:25.029
Out in there about what ifs? Get Out has an alternative

00:08:25.029 --> 00:08:28.009
ending that they initially shot. Get Out, the

00:08:28.009 --> 00:08:30.589
ending, instead of, well, here's another spoiler

00:08:30.589 --> 00:08:33.049
if you haven't seen Get Out. Get Out at the very

00:08:33.049 --> 00:08:36.049
end has a happy ending where they pick up the

00:08:36.049 --> 00:08:39.110
dude in a cop car and they drive off and they

00:08:39.110 --> 00:08:42.120
escape and he makes it out. In the original ending

00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:44.460
that Peele shot, Jordan Peele, the director,

00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:49.620
he strangles his girlfriend to death. The actual

00:08:49.620 --> 00:08:51.720
police come and they arrest him. And the ending

00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:54.600
scene is his friend coming to visit him in jail

00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:56.980
being like, how do we get you out? And he's like,

00:08:57.019 --> 00:08:58.679
it doesn't matter, bro. At least we got them.

00:08:58.779 --> 00:09:02.340
We stopped it. And so that's a huge what if.

00:09:02.419 --> 00:09:06.700
What if, in fact, he got caught at the end by

00:09:06.700 --> 00:09:09.320
actual police instead and that footage actually

00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:14.279
exists? Sierra, your thoughts? I couldn't skip

00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:20.779
forward 30 seconds. I'm so sorry. I didn't know

00:09:20.779 --> 00:09:24.000
you'd never seen that movie. It's okay. I actually,

00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:27.299
like, pretty much, so I tried to start watching

00:09:27.299 --> 00:09:29.299
it. I, for whatever reason, couldn't get into

00:09:29.299 --> 00:09:32.100
it at the time. I think I just, like, wasn't

00:09:32.100 --> 00:09:34.360
in the right headspace, so I kind of, like, skipped

00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:37.350
through the movie. Because I'd heard so much

00:09:37.350 --> 00:09:39.009
about it and I wanted to know what happened.

00:09:39.210 --> 00:09:40.769
And so I kind of just, like, skipped through

00:09:40.769 --> 00:09:43.049
the movie. And I'm pretty sure I did end up watching

00:09:43.049 --> 00:09:45.830
the ending. Because I was like, okay, just, like,

00:09:45.830 --> 00:09:49.190
tell me the end. You should rewatch the movie

00:09:49.190 --> 00:09:49.570
at some point. I've never seen the movie all

00:09:49.570 --> 00:09:51.470
the way through. But, yeah, at some point I will.

00:09:52.990 --> 00:09:57.269
Anyways, that's Get Out. Next category. Everyone

00:09:57.269 --> 00:10:00.590
off the stage and cue Gandalf. Questions. Questions

00:10:00.590 --> 00:10:02.549
that need answering. This is a questions and

00:10:02.549 --> 00:10:05.250
answers section. Gandalf saying questions. Questions

00:10:05.250 --> 00:10:08.210
that need answering. Perfect. Mm -hmm. No notes.

00:10:08.330 --> 00:10:12.350
Excellent. Okay, dust off the card deck and get

00:10:12.350 --> 00:10:14.669
ready to shuffle. It's our Joker category for

00:10:14.669 --> 00:10:18.389
MVP of this movie episode, whatever, story arc.

00:10:18.970 --> 00:10:22.649
There's no clearer MVP of a movie to me than

00:10:22.649 --> 00:10:25.990
Heath Ledger's Joker in Dark Knight. Yes. Where

00:10:25.990 --> 00:10:28.690
it's just like, no, that guy makes that movie

00:10:28.690 --> 00:10:31.450
happen. He won the movie. He won the movie. Like,

00:10:31.450 --> 00:10:34.509
even more than what we're going to say for episode

00:10:34.509 --> 00:10:38.039
one, Phantom Menace. He does. He's the reason

00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:40.019
why that movie is incredible. I mean, he's not

00:10:40.019 --> 00:10:42.500
the only reason. Christian Bale's great in the

00:10:42.500 --> 00:10:43.980
movie. Michael Caine's great in that movie. The

00:10:43.980 --> 00:10:45.720
writing's amazing. Gary Oldman's great in that

00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:47.120
movie. I'm not trying to take shots at anybody.

00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:51.659
He's just like, he won an Oscar for it. Basically,

00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:54.879
if you don't know anything about it, you still

00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:58.360
know. Yeah, you still know. And you probably

00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:00.919
heard people say, we've seen Why So Serious?

00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:05.500
Like, MVP. But only. If you rip open that candy

00:11:05.500 --> 00:11:08.059
wrapper and show us your golden ticket, because

00:11:08.059 --> 00:11:11.440
it's time for the Veruca Salt Award for piece

00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:15.840
of memorabilia we really, really need. Charlie

00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.340
and the Chocolate Factory, folks. Charlie and

00:11:18.340 --> 00:11:21.820
the Chocolate Factory. Yes, or Willy Wonka and

00:11:21.820 --> 00:11:23.820
the Chocolate Factory if you're going by the

00:11:23.820 --> 00:11:28.000
film instead of the novelization, not novelization,

00:11:28.139 --> 00:11:31.879
original novel by Roald Dahl. That Veruca Salt,

00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:34.700
for those of you who don't remember the children's

00:11:34.700 --> 00:11:38.700
specific names, is the very, very spoiled little

00:11:38.700 --> 00:11:43.840
brat who wants the golden goose. She wants it,

00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:46.740
Daddy. I want it. Give it to me now. I want it.

00:11:46.779 --> 00:11:50.120
I want the golden goose. There it is. Yes. And

00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:53.039
then she wants an Oompa Loompa. And then she

00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:56.820
wants a squirrel in one of the movies. Yes. A

00:11:56.820 --> 00:12:00.120
squirrel. She's a great character. It's a great

00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:01.860
moment. I'm very excited that you added this

00:12:01.860 --> 00:12:04.659
in. I love talking about that. I'm happy you

00:12:04.659 --> 00:12:07.659
put it in there. Okay. That is actually our categories,

00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:10.080
everybody. Thanks to all y 'all for listening.

00:12:10.299 --> 00:12:12.379
I hope you're not confused. All those movies

00:12:12.379 --> 00:12:15.120
are worth a watch. Even Charlie and the Jocko

00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:17.360
Factory and Willy Wonka. I would still recommend

00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:20.399
both. Yes. And thanks to Sierra for hopping on

00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:23.840
so that I could lecture you. I feel properly

00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:26.899
lectured and informed. Excellent. I am a teacher,

00:12:26.940 --> 00:12:30.970
if nothing else. Okay. I think we're out then.

00:12:31.090 --> 00:12:36.129
