Matt’s been at PAX East all weekend so he doesn’t know what Dan and Luke discussed this week, which is awkward because he wrote this intro. Don’t let that discourage you though! Take a listen and pretend you’re Matt – experiencing this podcast for the very first time.

Topics discussed

Transcript

so I've been thinking go on and one thing that we all need to do when we get together mhm don't you mean Matt yeah Matt's not here we'll discuss that later oh wow this is probably the earliest we've ever brought that up but yeah go on I know I just I just remembered I thought I'll do it way yeah but we're all going to go to Star Wars Disneyland when that opens yeah obviously I also want to go to bingo bingo bingo like old ladies they call out the numbers yeah yeah yep I want to go to bingo don't know why so there is bingo uh probably where you are yeah you could you could not wait and go now no but what you want is the multiple nerdgasm Bingo experience yes okay I'm in I'm in y you know they have [ __ ] bingo in Sydney oh they do yeah I'm not being derogatory

that's what it's called [ __ ] Bingo yeah I've got do I used to go to [ __ ] trivia oh yeah that was actually in CRA oh that's in there's there's [ __ ] in cra yeah that's great all right Bingo for sure okay what brought this on um I was watching an episode of Gavin and Stacy what's gav and Stacy it's a British show okay that I've been binge watching today from about 2008 okay and in the last episode I watched before we started recording they went to Bingo yeah right are they uh are they elderly people no no no they're just young cool people who decided to go to bingo well they're sort of young people and they went with sort of the family s so they went with old people okay so you know my film The Tale job available on Amazon 299 to rent 999 uh there's a scene that's set at a

fictitious strip club right yes and the inside of the strip club we we built a set the outside of the strip club we filmed at uh marville bingo and uh we used computer Graphics to cover up the word Bingo and replace it with the words live nude girls yeah I still I don't like talking about it cuz that was my scene it was man it was I just want the listeners to know that there was a day where I rang Luke and said Luke who who has been in every single one of my films since I started making films I said Luke I need you to be in this film I need a bearded man to sit for a day drinking beer watching strippers and I'll film that and your answer was no I'll pass oh was that I didn't want to you gave me not enough notice and I couldn't get the time off

work GL I had to come up from Cambra to Sydney okay all right some might say a day of free beers and free lap dancers is worth taking the day off but you know I just it's not for everyone bad time you know that's that's the dream you would be surprised how difficult it was for me to Wrangle volunteers for that day we ended up filming in what looks like the most deserted strip joint ever which kind of adds to the amb it makes look like one those you know ones by the highway that only occasionally a trucker stops at so it was fine but uh the two and a half guys that we did and I say two and a half because we had three people in the room two guys came one of them brought his girlfriend so it's two men and one woman watching the strippers um see if if if I was in Sydney at that

time or you're filming in camber I would have been there no matter what I would have I would have been screwing up every single take so we had to do it over and over if you were in Sydney and I was filming in camber you would have done it just not the other way around you know what I mean yeah I would have that way I could have just traveled home for it true he could have gotten nice and drunk on the free beers on the free beers during the lap dances also free well you had to pay for them but they'd be free yeah they were free for you yeah you do have to pay if you uh if you want tits in a movie you've got to pay we didn't pay any of our actors uh we didn't pay our crew everyone was volunteering except for the people that showed their tits that you got to pay

for which not a lot not a lot but you do got to pay I could sort of understand that a little bit though yeah like just being a person in a movie sure that's fine mhm but then a few years down the track when you bit older maybe you got kids and you go hey kids let me put on the movie in and then and there's mom there with a tits okay so what you're saying essentially is that when you have kids I'm not allowed to show them an old black and white indie film called bleed through where you are nude except for a see-through nappy um covered in blood tortured uh and sodomized I believe yes yes yes that that that made it into the Final Cup M mhm which about that scene yeah yeah cuz that wasn't originally

going to be in the movie oh I think we were there on set filming it and we're only filming stuff for the movie so I don't know where the confusion was the whole thing was we you actually said this won't be in the movie oh which which was fine no never listen to a director when he says this won't be in the movie what will it be in then come on like if it wasn't going to be in the movie why were we filming it that's what evidently they told Sharon Stone about that scene in Basic Instinct the well just this is just for my private collection don't worry about it I don't think that's what I said to you to to be fair no no no he said he said to her they just they just need the start and end of the clip and the the rest will just be edited out and a closeup will be

put there and then apparently Sharon Stone didn't realize that was not the case until she was literally sitting at the cinema with her family and Bam [ __ ] shot he can't see anything anyway no that's true and I've tried yeah I really tried and yeah you really it's not what everyone says it is I think it's the only part of movie I've seen I've seen the whole movie it's a pretty good it's it's the writer of Starship Troopers oh really yeah yeah and he's a great saturnist so it's actually a clever movie okay I might give it a go there the premise is somebody who is an author who writes murder stories murders someone in the exact way that one of her characters murders people in a book she wrote and therefore says well it couldn't possibly

be me that's way too obvious that was her whole defense yeah I I wonder if that does hold him in court now that I'm saying it out loud it probably doesn't well I couldn't have done it all the evidence points at me it's far too [Laughter] obvious yeah did did she get off in the end oh she got off all right okay that's good then I think we can spoil a movie what from the '90s uh yeah that's true it's been longer than two weeks yeah definitely longer than two weeks now in saying the two weeks have you seen Ready Player one yet oh I haven't I haven't um wanted to see it this weekend and I ended up going and seeing a play instead I know oh I know well cuz yeah we could have discussed it but for the view the listeners could have heard it but you can't hear it so I

can't tell you anything oh look I don't give a [ __ ] I've got my whole new stance about it's not what happens it's how it happens so lay it on me sweet what is what I've been saying for years I've already sort of been through it a bit but um what I was going to tell you is one thing very strange it's all about pop culture and references what happens at the end of all Marvel movies in pretty much any movie they sees uh there's a little scene at little extra yeah little extra this one nothing don't stay for anything after credits to be fair Spielberg has never promised anything like that yeah well it's time to get for him to get with the times okay just to clarify you think it's about time Steven Spielberg started making his movies more like the modern superhero movies

exactly I don't think he's that good a director [ __ ] oh oh okay all right sorry let's uh let's pause here um I don't want to miss any so I'm going straight to IMDb Steven Spielberg and of course you would wait till Matt's not here to bring this up so that I have to carry this cross myself right no no I'm not going to say it's not like I don't like any of his movies but there are some movies I really don't like fair enough but your phrase he's really not that good of a director I defy you to to deny that five random films that I choose from this list are not among the best films ever made okay then number one you want to you wait you ready you ready for it yep Bring It On okay Jurassic Park all right good movie yeah good movie [ __ ] terrific movie yep that that's great y

okay Raiders Of The Last Arc yeah another great movie yep yep okay Jaws great movie okay we're three for three I don't understand okay I really hope you just say one I'm one I really want you to say Munich God though [ __ ] off God no mun seen it so I can't say oh mate Munich is great you know they were originally going to call it don't [ __ ] with the Jews that may or may not be true but that is a line in the movie so I'm not sure what you want me to say because I already know that you hate Close Encounters oh that's a terrible terrible movie so I'll let that go I'm not going to argue for you to say that one that that that's a terrible mve I don't understand it it's slow it's boring well you know when the aliens

come man they're not just going to be all [ __ ] Independence Day some of them are just going to want to hum to you and [ __ ] okay and drop some people off and take some others with but did nothing in that movie you know that's also the premise of Predator to right at the end he goes in the ship people come off people go on okay you realize I'm not trying to say predat 2 is a great movie predat 2 is an okay movie it's okay but Saving Private better Close Encounters I didn't like it you didn't like Saving Private Ryan no not really really okay all right and you haven't seen the adventures of tin so you'll just have to take my word for it that that's a [ __ ] excellent movie all right that's the one with the dog isn't it there is a dog in it yes

it's the one that's literally the culmination of every adventure story ever told realized in one Perfect film all right it's quite good man while we're on the topic of Spiel oh oh can I bring on another Spielberg um Indiana Jones 4 okay skull I I thought you might say that uh and coincidentally I uh I watched that today because oh you did I had some mining to do and also because I've had a little bit of good luck lately rewatching a film that I hated the first time and enjoying it the second time right and how did this one go not well Li not well no no look here's the thing I didn't hate it as much as I did the first time by a lot because like

the first time I saw this movie like I walked out of the cinema wondering whether my life had any meaning or not and I didn't feel that and in fact there's a few little bits of this movie that I really really like and it's not necessarily a bad movie it's an okay movie with some very bad scenes in it like there were some parts in it that were actually quite good like where in these like Le M and he just rocks up with a rocket launcher and just fires out like that's just an Indy thing to do yeah and I love I love the world building that they did in terms of since the last time we saw Indie there has been a World War and he joined the OSS he's a decorated war hero there's all this stuff that's happened but then when you look at this film it's really just

piecing together the good story lines from the other indie films and hoping they work here you know what I mean crazy old man okay well Sean Conor is not in anymore here's John Hurt all right it's the same thing okay the Grail diary he's following someone else's Quest picking up where he left off it's the same with this except it's with this scribbled map but really I think with the crazy old guy you just have that as Indie yeah that's right well and also there's a crazy young guy cuz you got shy buff oh he was terrible no he did a perfectly good job with what he had to work with it was not the most well written it wasn't Shai that ruined that movie if anyone it was Blanchet she was the one that did a terrible accent wasn't it yes correct do you think before they hired her they

mayy went can you do a was it Russian yeah Russian but you know what's funny about that Luke if you watch the behind the scenes of Raiders of the last Ark right the guy that plays belloc the French archaeologist that's like rivaling him and ends up working with the Nazis he tells this story about how he did the audition got the part and then later on his agent rang him and said oh by the way you'll need to do this in a French accent you can do a French accent can't you so I wouldn't put it past them to have not asked it is what I'm saying see see precedent been set I'm just asking Spielberg would he had anything to do with casting you would have you would hope so well maybe I'm thinking as a director and if he wants these people to be mov maybe you

check this in the casting part I don't know how they did an audition with him for the role of a Frenchman enough to give him the part and then did afterwards they ask if you speak in a French accent yeah seems a little odd doesn't it it really does um have you heard what he said about the next Indie movie oh God what well he hasn't really said much about this one but he said this won't be the end of Indiana Jones okay all right he actually even said something about maybe now I forget where I heard this okay so it might have been a dream might have been a dream but he also said maybe the next Indiana Jones might be female okay all right sure so like going a complete reboot or something which I just don't think can

work yeah well I mean you know how I feel about reboots they're they're rebooting two of my favorite films uh they're rebooting Highlander and they're rebooting The Crow and honest to God like I I've never felt so strongly about a movie not being remade as I do about those two films like you that you couldn't have picked a worst film to reboot the crow I can understand what people said I didn't really enjoy the original one yeah it's cuz you want a goth I wasn't a goth but uh Highlander I've got mixed feelings on this one do you okay let's uh let's talk it out oh cuz I quite like Highlander okay and I also like the Highlander

television show yes I like the Highlander movies so I wouldn't actually mind seeing Highlander again but are they going to bring him back well no they're going to start again no don't start again no that's what I mean they they're going don't do they have to though can't they just go we've thought about this we're not going to start again we're just going to see that's perfectly fine make more I'm all for making more I even like the [ __ ] ones right but cuz there were a few [ __ ] ones yeah yeah there were CU wasn't there like five or something in the end uh well look I mean not all of them kind of fit together properly so I don't even know what they count half of them don't yeah I know and then there's the series that negated all the movies and it just

got a bit weird then there was a spin-off series did you know there was a spin-off series at least one spin-off series no I thought there was only the one television series there was the spin-off series of the spin-off series it was only about that group that went around watching them the Watchers it sounds sort of boring I didn't see it to be honest yeah so yeah there was five sequels right okay you know who they're uh in talks to play Ramirez uh for those who don't know that's Shan Connor's character sha connory yeah mhm who Tom Cruz no yeah I know Ju Just just no no no a million times no well it would work for him cuz he does want to act like

he's Immortal and he's an over 25 so that could work for him yeah that is true um and look it was always a little bit mixed up with the races anyway because Highlander is about a Scottish guy who is played by a Frenchman yep who teams up with an Egyptian who's played by a Scottish guy Scot y yeah so you know having a Scottish actor and an Egyptian actor would be ideal but uh too much one thing from this movie comes the greatest pickup line ever it's true I'm Conor McLoud of De CLA McLoud and I'm Immortal yeah straight in the B works every time but you also have to stab yourself that does help yeah you got to prove that you're Immortal you can't just be like you know I'm Immortal and my dick's not going to suck [Laughter] itself you could try that but yet you're

not going to get as far yeah probably not depends on the depends on your audience yeah oh yeah so we were going to talk about where Matt is oh yeah yeah Matt is not here because Matt's having fun in Boston at P PAX East yeah that's right PAX East so I've not been to PAX East I've only ever been to PAX Prime see whereas I've done PAX East Pax Australia but I haven't done Pax PR there you go we've covered all bases yep well no we haven't cuz there's I think there's a pack South oh really like packs Deep South no I don't think it's um oh no there's pack South which is San Antonio Texas Texas

okay I thought there was one in Asia as well I could be very wrong though fact Asia no why is Google a sexy black and white chick today Maria Felix a Mexican film actress H okay I'm not getting anything really no I'm getting sexy 1930 film star no that's just for you that's great hey did you know back in the 30s in Hollywood right hey you you've been to LA right yes okay when I went to LA I don't know if you had this experience but when I went went to LA the first time I saw more Mexicans than I was

expecting for the simple reason that anytime I watch any films TV set in La it's just all white people and that's what I expected but there's at least as many Mexicans yep no I got a shock of that as well but it turns out there's always been that many Mexicans there right always to the point that in the 30s all the classic horror movies you know the Universal horror movies were all made twice once in English with American actors and once in Spanish with Mexican actors on the same sets and basically there'd be someone who just watched the days shooting made notes passed the notes on to the next guy when the Spanish crew would come in at night that that's that's really crazy yeah all the old movies from that period

there also exists Spanish language Doppel hangers really yeah okay a lot of people actually now rever the Spanish language Dracula as better than the English language one because it was shot at night whereas the other one was shot during the day and they the director of that one watched all the dailies from that day and made adjustments where he thought he could improve okay yeah so it's almost like he he made his movie once before as like a dry run and then did the Spanish version yep go yep go yep now this work this work that didn't so we're not even going to worry about that we'll focus on this a little bit more yep yep makes total sense

yeah but yeah like cuz it's it's weird yeah when I got there there was a lot more and it's for some reason I never had in my head like how close like Los Ang California and Mexico are well California actually goes into Mexico right yeah but even at the ATM you have to select English or Spanish they don't tell you that America seems to hide a lot of stuff I have heard something funny with you know how with Trump at the moment how he's everyone must leave the country if you're not there if you're not a citizen everything California is having a slight problem with their crops at the moment cuz they don't have enough people to actually work on the farms yeah well there you go but that probably shouldn't go in either Maybe maybe I did nothing wrong

there's nothing wrong with that no people working that's good yeah I mean America has had problems uh with uh certain methods of getting people to work on their crops before but that's not what we're talking about no no we're talking about people who actually do want to work on the crops and now they're saying no you can't do that yeah yeah mind you there's no one lining up to do it for them I've tried I've tried myself to to get work over there and it is bloody tough they do not want anyone who's not American to be there except for Matt that's true that's true but honestly I i' I'd like Matt yeah I'd let Matt in if I had a country and I plan to someday you I wouldn't you wouldn't no it depends on

the country but I'd have to seriously consider okay just because he'd be too popular and threaten your yeah yeah yeah that makes sense that makes sense yeah and me I don't know I never want to look for another job ever again so I I've told um Hannah if she does want to move overseas she has to be able to earn enough to support me I had that exact conversation with h very recently actually yeah yeah yeah that you're happy to move but she has to do enough to earn or you you're doing the earning oh please I earn half what she earns right now literally half so uh yeah yeah Hannah I've always said look I'll follow everywhere but the second we leave I'm not learning another language okay draw the line there all right and I'm not working so you you

wouldn't learn into any other language what do I need languages for well it's like if you moved somewhere where they didn't speak English I guess is what I'm saying I've got Google Translate what if you moved to uh LA right and needed to learn Spanish as well Google Translate Okay Google go will control my life if I live in another country fair enough I trust Google yeah I trust Google yeah like the the whole motto is don't be evil but is that like is that their motto is that like a mantra don't be evil don't be evil don't don't be evil it would be so easy for them to be evil though wouldn't it h really would cuz like any time I search for something it's on Google and that and that anytime I get any emails or

anything from anywhere that Google already know what I'm shopping for yeah which I think makes things a lot easier yeah that's true except there are some things where you don't need to be reminded hey you're still shopping for stuff I heard of someone recently who went in and brought a toilet seat yeah so they own the new toilet seat yeah how many do you need don't yeah you don't need more than one that's fair that's fair so I think they need to just work on that a little purchased it don't need to adver any yeah true true Google certainly knows I'm looking for a new watch put it that way they [ __ ] know well yeah Google definitely knows I'm looking for a new motorcycle helmet CU oh man you know I'm I'm thinking

about a motorbike yeah do it well don't do a motorbike okay scooter yeah but I'm not a homosexual ah scooters is are not as crap as they used to be okay all right is that is that on the poster yes well it should be cuz everyone thinks of scooters those little things that you pot around you do 30 km on and that's it mhm yeah I ride to work every day and I'm doing 100 110 on the highway okay sure and so yeah that's cuz I I can't ride a you are flying into Birds though so there's that you on bird you can run over them in cars motorcycles and scooters now okay there you go well I'll consider it I'll consider it it also it's clut about half the price yeah fair fair so why do you need a new helmet cuz your has bird all over it bir all over no I just felt

like getting a new helmet and I've seen some Star Wars ones oh and I want a Star Wars one can you get a helmet that looks like Star Wars helmets yes so I'm trying to decide between po Damon yeah or just uh Rebel Alliance One like a white one oh I'm thinking I'm going to get a white one yeah it's more generic right yeah yeah so I'm thinking that's the one I'm going to go I'll say this I uh I was Googling for the PO dammeron leather jacket the other day so was I you can get it but it looks too new I want a distressed one cuz his is all soft and crumbly you know yeah you'd have to get it and then you'd you'd have to wear it in but then you don't really want to be the person to wear it in exactly I want it pre-worn in cuz yeah cuz if you if you get it and

you start wearing it and it's all worn in people going to go that's a nice jacket if it's brand new and people going to go you're a bit of a try hard yeah exactly they're like oh you you bought yourself a jacket huh no jacket should look like a new jacket you know there's a few Star Wars jackets I would like oh yeah but yeah I don't know I just I want the Luke Skywalker one mhm but like the the tan one from uh Empire yeah yeah I also want a cape I'm still going to get a cape one though like a Count Dooku Cape no like a Lando Cape oh okay yeah I still think I can make that work um just in segments I've posted the helmet I'm looking at okay let me scroll down H eBay I remember when I could use

eBay it's too expensive here oh [ __ ] me that's amazing yep what are you waiting for just click buy find now I really should should I yeah you really you really should all right I'm just going to find I'll do it after the show I want to find the best site to get it on yeah yeah Fair CU as I scroll down there's one or two that looks like they might be cheaper than others too so yeah you have to be careful yeah you still have to be careful on eBay and stuff like that you can't just trust everyone hey out of curiosity uh because I assume this is adjusted for my location what is the what is the shipping price of this to you um this one here so it's 234 to

buy and $69 to ship okay it's the same so actually might maybe this hasn't let me see if I can helmet okay let me see if I can type this into the Singapore eBay M just to uh to show you the difference that it usually is in shipping [ __ ] me see look even eBay I've not been on it knows I'm after a [Laughter] watch see just just accept it it's fine everyone's just trying to help don't know why people get so upset about it there's no point trying to hide the internet knows all about you oh you know what it's even cheaper here hm I take it back there you go Still Still 230 bucks uh but then the the postage is only 50 bucks so there you go okay I was trying to make a point that I cannot no longer

make well why even maybe I should get it shipped to you and I'll just come over and pick it up yeah I thought you were never setting foot in uh Singapore again I still want to go to the casino oh okay sure it is air conditioned in the casino yeah so I might go there for like a day trip when I'm on my way somewhere else sure well where else would you like to go that's nearby um there's probably a few like I don't know what's what's around you wouldn't mind going to Vietnam oh yeah Vietnam's great Vietnam is excellent sort of near you is it um geography is not my strong suit sort of near me yeah it's sort of near me you know where Thailand is sort of yeah yeah it's next to Thailand um I've also thought like even if we go to like Europe or anything

we'll sort of stop off oh man stop over capital of the world yeah so we'll just stop off see you for a day or two and then bug her off again perfect that way we can break up the long flights yeah true and I'll be more prepared this time and drink a lot more water yeah yeah and bring shorts or a kilt bring your short Kilt I'll bring my short Kilt I'll wear my mini Kilt okay so let's uh let's break it down and we'll tease a little bit too right coming up in the second half of this podcast we've got uh we've got new online fads we've got Stanley news we've got uh we've got Steven King news we've got black panther news we've got some uh stranger things news and of course as always we've got Star Wars news it's not really news should we start there let's start there okay d off

will have the jingle so Star Wars news Star Wars news Star Wars news okay maybe it's time to update the jingle yeah maybe that's a new jingle oh yeah it's it's quite similar to the old jingle just a bit more minimalist iose you don't need to change a lot so uh yeah trailer for solo new one yeah now look I don't really get excited about like trailers because I thought we'd seen the trailer turns out we've seen the teaser trailer so I'm getting confused about all the different trailers we get now yeah so cuz I thought there was a teaser before that there was yeah so anyway so there was a teaser for the teaser yeah then the te the real trailer and now this is the real one maybe I'll like this one by the time this comes out and you're listening

to this listeners you will have already seen this because I would have watched it probably about five or 10 times yeah yeah that's right um yeah I thought the last one actually looked pretty good don't get me wrong there's things I hate about it do you want to know what I hate the most I've kept this to myself because it's it's really Petty and superficial um I don't like his hair like I really don't like it it [ __ ] annoys me so much hansu never had hair like that he looks like he's got MAA here yep no I can see that now you've never ruin DET t for me but it's just wrong it's just wrong the center part long at the back it's not right it is not right I just I don't think I like

him yeah I don't either but I'm hoping he can win me over because let's be honest we haven't seen the film yep but I think this is just going to no matter what this movie can be great it's still going to upset everyone yeah you can't go and make a movie of characters that people love and just recast and go yep don't worry about it yep watch this now this is now Canon yeah I know they've uh I think everyone sort of liked the H from we saw in the movies like you didn't know much about him he bit of a dick yeah pretty arrogant but you liked him but now you're going to watch him Y and I reckon they're going to try and make him not as much of a dick yeah definitely they're going to make him uh relatable yes and sympathetic yeah and that's just not the

Han Solo we want no no we want the Han Solo that's exactly the same as Indiana Jones yeah well the same thing happened with that we we got to know Indie A Little Too Well by the end but yeah so U I'm looking forward to seeing it and because it comes out next month like we only got a month to go may 2th but you know where it's going to Premiere where KH what the Khan film festival like we're all those snooty European films Premiere this year solo is premiering there look they also have like a film Market there I mean it's not unusual for films to play there but uh they they don't need to sell the this movie to anyone yeah I know weird right like all that's it's going to

premere there how long when when's K it must be soon uh it is um 10 days before 10 days before May 25th see 10 days so that's a lot of time where people are going to get upset CU they're going to go an in it and there's going to be spoilers yeah that's right by the way listeners I said 10 days before May 25th because that's the day it's released world wide not because I couldn't work out the maths in my head okay just want everyone to know that but put it this way the uh the opening night film at Khan this year will uh will be a film called everybody knows starring jaier bardam and Penelope crw you know what I mean like then the next night

solo so they just paid a lot of money for the movie to go there right yeah I still don't understand why though man they're fighting an uphill battle with this one though aren't they like this is the first Star Wars movie that people think might be [ __ ] and there have been some incredibly [ __ ] Star Wars movies yes I can think of three right now yeah but only three but yeah no this one I think with the problems I had with the filming throughout the entire thing and firing directors and yeah and then I don't know they've done a crazy thing by changing the look in the middle Falcon I think that's just I can't explain that away I think you're going to have to get used to the fact that there might be one or two things that have been changed I'm kind

of glad I'm not going to be seeing this movie with you uh because you're going to be yelling at the screen in the theater oh I'm going to be furious like the way he's going to win the Millennium Falcon is going to piss me off to no end Maybe known he we've always known he won that in a card game even people who never read any extended stories they always knew that it was some type of card game that he wanted yeah that's but that's only because other people who had read the extended books had told them that yeah but I don't know there's some things I understand that they got rid of all the books and everything then went this is now they're all legends but I think there's some things that you shouldn't

get rid of yeah and that to me is one of them but they're also changing the cannon from even the prequels as well could you remember when you saw uh you saw a mum Falcon type ship that's true and George went no no there's just lots of them around they're just they're just ships that's the type of ship yep and now we're going to watch it and no now this is going to be a different looking [Laughter] one yeah yeah look I mean there's there's been some revisionist history done with the the prequels that I'm well okay with you know the omission of the murans for example perfectly happy for them to just yeah but uh I don't know we'll see

we'll see we'll see yeah we we will all see we will give Disney a money oh yeah yeah y yeah they they make um probably a few hundred of me a year at least sure and that's just of stuff I know this is honestly I think I don't think I'm going to go to the midnight screening this what I mean man this be the first one you haven't yeah like even when the Remember When The Originals got re-released like back in absolutely do oh yeah man I went to that yeah same and it was just as packed as if it was a new movie and then I did episode one I was wasn't happy but I went and then I did episode two you know I didn't go to episode one midnight but I did go the next day with you who so you'd

already seen it at midnight and we're seeing it again yep and I I was trying to lie to myself yeah went no it's not bad I saw it I think three times that day yeah yeah just didn't get better at least on the second and third time this film didn't catch fire oh that's true yeah a lot of people remember the great the Great Fire of fand Menace there was a big thing when it went out they weren't allowed to do any test screenings and that's what they would normally do at theaters if I'm correct they would sort of have tests so they could test a film out to make sure that wouldn't happen MH yeah and then although now they don't screen them on film now it's just a drive all digital which is fine oh yeah it looks way

better way better well well that was also something George actually was championing as well to like to bring this in so like we actually still make changes till like just before the movie starts it's you're not held off for 6 months in advance all right that's the final edit and we're done it's no we've still got time to work on it and which I think is why you get a shorter turnaround between the ending of filming and by the time it goes to the theater now yeah because I mean have they have they finally [ __ ] finished their re-shoot I maybe cuz that they were still talking about re-shoot what a couple of weeks ago yeah and I know Gareth Evans Gareth Evans that's not who I mean Gareth Edwards okay not not the uh not the Australian politici

um Gareth Edwards has come out defending everyone on solo and saying no no no no re-shoot are totally normal my film sucked before I did the re-shoot well it is true re shoots aren't crazy uh they happen a lot you know Woody Allen always schedules re-shoot in after his edit so like it's not even re-shoot it's just he has a production period an editing period and then another production period cuz sh you go in you film everything you go start editing you go hold on this isn't working or we need another s of this and then you also even do test screenings and then people go no we don't like this or that and that and then you go back film a few things and come out but I think they did a hell of a lot with this like most of the movie the

impression I get yeah which can be a good thing I like Ron Howard I like Ron Howard too man okay so you like Ron Howard but you don't like Steven Spielberg I just think Ron Howard's more a nicer guy yeah you're probably right you're probably right i' probably I'd prefer to go for a beer with Ron Over Steven for just like mat's sake sure yeah you're probably right plus to hire either of them everything he no what I mean like you're not trying to get a job out of either of them like if I had the opportunity to sit down with one of the other I'd pick Steven and I'd be trying to get him to watch the you know the tail job available on Amazon $2.99 to rent $9.99 to buy right but I don't I think you'd have a bit of

shut with Ron probably and everything he says will sound like it's uh you're in an episode of Arrested Development and that'll be pretty cool I can I can not wait to see the solo edit with him doing the voiceover cuz you know that's going to happen within a week yeah yeah I'm I'm looking forward to that too oh that's right I remembered I'm right again okay you often are so y so remember recently I was talking about how they we need to sort of stop looking at movies and maybe start going to television miniseries yeah they were going to make do a remake of The Stand oh yeah yeah the stepen king Noel so they're going to make a movie out of it yeah right I mean that need to be quite a long movie if they want to cram everything in there

yep but they listen to me instead of going a movie they're going to go a 10 part TV miniseries okay well there you go which I think that's the perfect way to do that type of book yeah movie yeah I don't disagree don't gram it in stretch it out well they don't even need to stretch it out that's actually putting more of the book in yeah cuz that's where a lot of movies fail you can't actually fit everything in that's in like Lord of the Rings that movie should be hell of a lot longer you know they're doing a Netflix series right yeah I do but yeah yeah Lord of the Rings should be longer and The Hobbit should be shorter yes cuz if you look what there were three movies for The Hobbit that that book is what a half of the size or a quarter of the size of one

Lord of the Rings book oh less less than that even so they created and made [ __ ] up for those movies but Lord ARA had to cut a lot yeah true but yeah I'm not looking forward to Rings don't care for L of the Rings I I don't care for a lot of things there I'll leave it there um did you care for black panther I didn't mind it yeah I wasn't my favorite no me neither but I thought it was uh damn solid um and it will have the auspicious honor of being the first film screened in Saudi Arabia they don't get movies no for the last 35 years it's been illegal to publicly screen a film why uh CU they don't like stuff over there okay yeah yeah a lot of stuff they don't like but they

they're doing a lot of stuff now women can drive cars there now really yes yes starting this year and uh and they're going to they're going to screen black panther of all M now this is the first film screened in a cinema and it's because there's only one Cinema left there was another two films that were screen in a statun cultural center right and that was a double screening of the Emoji Movie and Captain Underpants so I don't know what Captain Captain Underpants is but I know the Emoji movie was just terrible yeah well I'm kind of imagine why would they scream that I don't think Captain Underpants is like the lost film by Aon Wells or something you know what I mean oh [ __ ] I mean it makes the Emoji Movie look good just looking at the poster

here but what why why would they pick that that's not going to get people around to let's go to the movies I don't I don't think that's their aim I don't think it's like let's get people to go to the movies but so they're doing it so is it they lifted the band totally or they lifted the band for black pants no they've lifted the band totally um okay black panther is going to be the first one but every single film that comes out is going to be edited for Content so that uh nothing is seen as derisive from their their way of life I could see that changing a lot of movies yeah a lot even black panther because uh there's a lot of women with jobs in Black Panther so and women can drive but they can't be

Uber drivers that's right they can't they can't earn any money well is just yay yeah yeah I think it's a good movie Baby Steps right yeah exactly right my friend uh my friend was in uh Afghanistan when the Taliban lifted and uh he said Cinemas were the first things to appear he said it was like they were Underground on Springs the whole time and the second Taliban was out of power they just sprung up yeah people want to watch [ __ ] movies y people can just enjoy themselves and take them away from their lives yeah cuz that's what entertainment is it's to get away from what you're actually doing Escape for a little while

yeah I use it to escape pain a that's why I play games yeah I know buddy I know and that's also why I take drugs yeah I mean I take drugs to escape emotional pain oh M are prescription drugs too they're just not my prescription Let's uh let's be totally clear on that all right now Stanley Stanley's had a rough year he's not geek of the week yet no he's not geek of the week yet but [ __ ] me I think he's close it's coming soon yeah so um over the last year um he's been accused of sexual assault yep he was robbed of $1.4 million I didn't know he was robbed yeah he's been totally shaken down um oh and uh and he

also has been hospitalized after a heart attack so yeah he's uh he's not doing good and um apparently they're all kicking when he's down a spokesperson from his estate has said that uh uh quote it's a real [ __ ] mess over here I think all of his money will be gone in just a few weeks weeks Stan is literally being picked apart by vultures right now one of the things that's happening to him in this not so great period in his life is that a former colleague of his somehow has a signed document that says he can have gallons and gallons of Stanley's blood right for what so the last time Stan was in hospital they they withdrew vile after vile of blood and gave them to this dude

who's uh who's Now using them to print Stanley's signature on comic books what kind of [ __ ] is this that's that's crazy it's like weird and unusual right and people are going to buy them yeah so um yeah so these are don't buy these yeah these are special editions right that you can uh you can only buy apparently at one comic shop in Las Vegas right and uh and they're signed in his blood but he didn't actually sign them they just correct got him to sign over his blood for it's somehow yeah stamped stamped with his blood I guess and I think the worst part about

this is the fact that people are also going to run out and buy this and then they're going to become colle C items and and people going to yeah pay more for them in years time when the he does pass in years time mate he's 95 in months he passes and those people are terrible terrible people yeah although although I've just thought about something yep once he's gone the only chance of bringing him back is in the DNA that will be in those blood stamps on those comic books so if you have bought one you literally hold the power to clone and resurrect stanlee that could be interesting but you'd be cuz I think he's starting to lose his mind a little bit so when they're

cloning now how does cloning work I don't understand like so they clone so it's just the same DNA it's not the same person he's not going to be stanless correct it's basically going to be an identical twin grown in a lab yeah and then yeah he's not going to have the same way he was brought up and so he's not going to have the same memories and he's not going to be yeah yeah that's not CL that's not how cloning works unfortunately no no no no no it's not but I'm actually wondering do you think that they' filmed all of Stanley's cameos for the movies you know it wouldn't surprise me I once knew I was going to fire a voiceover artist so I got him to say every possible combination of uh what I could ever possibly want someone to say

yep yeah I'm sure he got suspicious yeah just read the numbers read all the numbers okay but I I don't think it would be a bad thing to do for this I don't this one I don't think's being a dick to him yeah I think that would still just be a like yeah that's nice we want him to be part of this whole universe is created up until the time he goes and even a little bit after while this story AR ends yeah sure yeah no I'm actually why are they stealing money and how cuz he wouldn't actually need a lot of money anymore no man he just needs money anyway [ __ ] keep the machine on as far as I can tell cuz like he came out to Sydney a few years ago yeah and was signing on graphs yeah now

I forget how much he was charging but I know he wasn't charging as much as some other people mhm yeah but he was signing autographs like all day yeah well for some people autographs is literally how they make their money you know yeah they were a character in Star Wars they were wearing a mask and they just do autographs yeah now he was signing so they would have flown him out and put him up yeah like the venue that he wouldn't have paid for him to come out himself he would have come up and he would have taken a good amount of that money would have been all of his yep and the amount of money that he would have made would have do me for at least a year oh yeah yeah man if not longer and he does a few of them and he's fine so why does he need so much

money well it's not that he needs it just that since he's been in hospital people are literally siphoning money out of his account these people are scum yeah let's talk about something nice sure me sad um nice nice okay so we've got some uh we didn't steal this news we've got some I'm doing stupid things news and we've got yeah that's what we've got left that's it all right we'll go if we didn't steal things okay so um The Duffer brothers are being accused of plagiarizing stranger things now I've got one problem with that yep uh they did steal it they stole it from a lot of things they've basically ripped off all my favorite TV shows and movies from the 80s and I have absolutely no problem with that no but someone is saying that

uh they met The Duffer Brothers at a party in 2015 and pitched this to them as an idea uh and is now suing for uh for all the profits that it has made claiming that doing this at all was their idea that he he just suing now or is this something he's been trying to do since it came out it doesn't say doesn't say cuz this is one thing that annoys me about when people Sue yeah I think there should be a time frame of when you can sue and it's you have like I don't know 6 months from the time you become aware of it to do something to file your suit yeah yeah that's fair like yeah it's been 3 years now yeah got to be yeah so coming out now I think's a bit wrong but if he did do

earlier that's fine but so he's just saying what he pitched at a party yeah he's saying that he met them said uh hey you know what it be cool [ __ ] show that's looks like it's in the 80s and there's like there's like scary [ __ ] and uh and a kids like getting experiments done on them yeah yeah yep but the D Brothers have come out and said they have a Google doc from uh 2013 2 years prior uh that has this sentence Benny uh who didn't make it into the show but uh but will did Benny leaves his friend Elliott's house a bunch of kids are there eating pizza Dungeons and Dragons Benny leaves on a bike hears voices goes to a strange World taken by

some evil force so there you go yep so that pretty much sums up what the show's about yeah that's it that's it yeah so don't Sue it's bad yeah unless they did actually rip you off which really doesn't sound like they did or it may have been that you were pitching something to them they weren't really listening to you cuz I was had a party and that's not what they were there for yeah that's also true yeah I mean what did The Duffer Brothers do before stranger things I'd never really heard of them oh no wait they did that out of the mysterious show hold on Duffer you know what it's funny if you type in Duffer Duffer and the word the letter B the first thing comes up is Duffer bag which I think is people

misspelling duffel bag duffel bag yep okay let's get there okay so they did waywood Pines oh that's it waywood Pines fabulous show right up until the final episodes where they ruined it by revealing what it was but waywood Pines is an old timey like little mystery set kind of in a little town with a [ __ ] Supernatural thing so this is like going to the wowski and going hey you know what you should do something about computers and someone gets like sucked into a computer and then coming out and saying oh that's that's [ __ ] my idea cuz all their shitty all their [ __ ] ideas are that you can't have a completely original idea anymore it it's just not possible I'm not sure you ever

could even the ancient Greeks who invented drama said that there were only two stories going on a journey and a Stranger Comes to to town you're thinking about it now right yeah I really am cuz yeah even if movie like even if it is set somewhere something normally happens cuz someone arrives or you go on a journey so uh Lord of the Rings is going on a journey whereas uh Clos Encounters of the Third Kind is a Stranger Comes to Town and there's also a journey in it as well where they go to some stupid Mountain that's true all right so what are the kids up to these days all right well uh last time we reported on the kids they were uh they were doing the tide pod

Challenge and wondering why their friends were dying yeah yeah um I call that social Darwinism and I don't really have a problem with it I don't have a problem with the next phase that the kids are doing either um but it is a bit we we and I don't quite understand it they're snorting condoms after they've used them no I thought that at first but I'm sure it's not but I I bet there I bet there's like an extreme version where where they are uh as the blue brothers would call them soiled uh no this is this is when you unravel a condom stick it up your nose breathe it in until it comes out the bottom of your throat and then and you pull it out of your

mouth why I don't know I don't know I don't even think I'd want to see someone doing that no oh God no I don't find it funny I don't find it I don't understand people no neither do I and I definitely don't understand young people no we never did anything stupid like that when we were kids did we that think I mean we did stupid things but like like you know we [ __ ] drank and drugged ourself into a stuper but we didn't do like pointless things maybe kids don't take drugs anymore maybe they don't drink maybe this is instead of that oh then start drinking yeah start drinking is a lot safer actually it's probably not no probably not I don't know also I snorting condoms or drinking I think if

we publicly try to convince kids to uh get drunk that might reflect badly on us I was talking about cordial yeah fair enough that's my story and I'm sticking with it red cordial even though green cordial tastes nicer but red cordio gets your hyper what flavor is green cordio it's meant to be lime but it's called cooler there's cooler there was J lime J lime was my favorite well it's cooler with an a hey well I don't get it and I don't like [ __ ] yeah I drank it every goddamn day of my life I've got some at the moment ah he you you can't you you get Li lemonade over there God I love that stuff yeah yeah we have a lot of sodas over here that's true not quite as much as America or I

could get my diet PE flavored Dr Pepper drink I drink so much lemonade when I'm in the states So when you say lemonade what do you mean you mean Sprite I mean I know water with sugar y yeah cuz when I cuz when I first went to America the very first time I went there to New York City I uh my drink of choice at the time was vodka lemonade and uh man I got some weird looks over there yeah yeah you got to say Sprite which is weird cuz are there any other brands for it or is it just it's Sprite there I'm pretty sure they've got seven up pretty sure that's American seven up yeah right yep I mean they don't have scheps I guess no I think that's the Australian one yeah but seven up seven Up's nice I like they seven up and Sprite they do taste different yeah

they do scheps taste different too it's probably my favorite I like to mix it up a lot I'm actually drinking a shrips right now are you yep lemonade natural lemon flavor this is not natural lemon flavor you know they released a Peach Coke here for a limited time okay there's a raspberry Coke here at the moment that I'm God damn I would love that but for some reason in Australia it won't be here for long it'll be a limited time and then it'll disappear again unlike in the states where it's just you think of a combination you can get a Coke version of it yeah I uh I remember when they did diet lime Coke in Australia for a year they never did it in the the full sugar one they just did it in the diet and they just did it for a year and it was [ __ ] delicious it

was refreshing as [ __ ] yeah I just don't know why they don't stick with oh they they just mustn't sell I guess so because if they were selling it we would still have it yeah and that's why capitalism doesn't work we can't get the things we want buy your helmet now all right um where's my I've got where is it no um I know I'll go back to the link yeah oh I have just kickstarted something but I can't talk about it cuz it's a surprise for when I test it okay it arrives in July it's just a teaser it might arrive in July it's kickstar it

might arrive yes it may well put it this way it won't arrive before July no I have not had any problems with Kickstarter except for they come well after yeah yeah I've got three board games that I'm expecting okay that were meant to arrive last year right yeah well that's kick M and Jenner actually played played the cop version of the game I'm expecting oh is that right well it [ __ ] exists then I'd get on to that it exists Thorn watch Thorn watch where you look at Thorns real carefully now we I'm just I'm pretty sure let me just double check um go to here uh talk among El me Me Talk Amongst myself yep so um

you know I've been uh playing quite a lot of Conan Exiles right yes still in pre-release uh God knows how long it releases officially in August oh Christ they pushed it back again supposed to be may but uh uh I'm I'm enjoying that Still Still Loving It uh stopped playing it for a little bit to play uh Kingdom Come King come um and then even though that's got a story and Rich characters and con doesn't have any of those things I'm back in Conan I've moved on to a new terrain uh where I've built myself a new house which I'm currently living in so uh that's all good but recently I purchased for my

Kindle the collection of all the old original Conan stories I would really like to read them I they are [ __ ] great cuz even I just I love those movies oh me too me too I mean the Conan screenplay was written by John millius who wrote Apocalypse Now you know punch is a Don no punches a camel yeah punching punching another camel I love so what there was K Barbarian K in the destroyer and then there was red Sonia which had Arnold sweger but he wasn't Conan but he was yeah yeah I think that's how it works I never understood that yeah I'm going to have to get back to you on that cuz I don't know what I do know is that they are doing a reboot of red

Sonia okay so I'm guessing the Conan one went well then I don't think it did man cuz I saw it and I did not think it went that well no it really didn't uh it did make me want to go back and watch the original Conan original which I did so yeah but no red Sonia that's a strange one to go back to cuz that one was I don't think was as popular as Conan no probably not Conan was pretty [ __ ] popular I used to like Conan and then my sister used to like Red Son really well there you go that makes sense yep and then I started to like red Sonia a little bit more as I got a little bit older she probably liked Conan a bit no did she the girls listeners R in are you female right do you find Arnold Schwarzenegger attractive even young

Arnold Schwarzenegger yeah young yeah like in his prime when he middle like you cuz I've I've never considered him a sex simple then again I don't really look at men as sex symbols necessarily but I always thought he was a [ __ ] body yeah exactly right so what I want to know like do girls have like pictures of [ __ ] Arie up on their wall that's a good question I'm looking forward to people telling it yeah yeah come on ladies weigh in we we've got like two or three of you yeah Carol from Sydney let us know [Laughter] do you like a bit of the Swatch yeah I spoke to I spoke to Carol from Sydney this week oh you did yeah yeah she sent she sent me some pilliga scrub
