I've just read the most amazing thing in the world and I found out something about myself that I never knew please tell me you haven't been reading more Scientology literature welcome to multiple nerdgasm with your hosts Matt Luke and Dan multiple nerdgasm your guide to All Things nerdy no no no no I just saw something in the spreadsheet and I found out I have something in common with the Pope why a Catholic wife I don't know anything about Catholicism um no I don't think he he can't marry I think but I think all the nuns are married to God
right that's one hell of a wedding night because he represents God do are they married to him then I don't know how it works he probably gets to have his way with them I assume hm I assume that's why you want to become Pope I think it's just more so the money does he get paid oh trust me they've got money yeah but does he get to use the money well I suppose he probably does does the pope retire or is he the pope until he dies I don't know about the pope very much well the last one did retire cuz he got old right yeah that's called dying Luke they're all a bit old though right yeah I don't think you going have but then apparently the Vatican media office was allowed to approve all the
footage so they handed the footage over and when they got it back that was missing that little clip so there's no there's no evidence that this happened uh just a little anecdote see it's what I see because to me that sort of makes the pope sort of seem more human like you can have a bit of a joke and yeah is the human or is it like Theus where we supposed to believe that he actually does embody I don't think they want us to think he's human he's special then why do they put him in that bulletproof glass so we can drive around and receive pizza from people and whis the Pope I I mentioned this the other day in a meeting at work and no one knew what the [ __ ] I was talking about either there's
a video out there and I I don't I don't remember where or why or how I saw this the Pope the pope was part of some kind of parade or something and A guy ran up with a pizza and was like Mr Pope take the pizza I made it for you and the pope was like oh like the pizza this is the real BL Body of Christ and then I'm watching the video right now there you go it exists that's some good buy of Christ yeah all you're going to do is Google Pope Pizza as he said take an eat of the pizza did he eat it there in front of everyone no I think he probably threw it in the trash but I love it is he just stopped the parade to just slowly eat that pizza that would be great hey stop at the car did someone threw a bow at him are you allowed to do racist like no you're not allowed to do
anything racist well I mean I guess not Italian what it's a Rome is a country right so you're allowed to do voices but can you make fun of the Romans is that we R them I am making fun of him aren't I a little bit we're not making fun of pizza though we love pizza [ __ ] love pizza I had pizza last night mind you I did have at least one instance and I'm sure I've talked about it on this podcast already where a jokey Italian accent got me into trouble just the one time yeah it's why I don't do accents except for Scottish but it was Scotch he was handed so if the pope had gone a this is the real holy water that would have been fine yeah I wonder what he did with it I mean we can assume what he did with it but
well added it to his wide collection of scotches he has yeah well I guess they just don't want him seen to be endorsing whiskey or maybe it was like they don't want him seen to be endorsing a particular brand cuz that would be interesting wouldn't it if they yeah you're right what if cuz if if that was me if I owned that Distillery my new slogan would be the real holy water Glen Scotch the real hly water and I would just have that clip in the a God says drink [Laughter] this pretty good endorsement M well whiskey may be the real holy water uh but getting booze around well getting booze around here was quite complicated the other day uh until I found out there are varying levels of compliance with the
kind of uh social distancing laws yeah and uh one liquor store uh the fancy one is very it being very compliant you got to call and place your order and then you got to go pick it up uh and they'll you know they'll bring it out to you curbside pickup is what it's been called here I don't know if you guys call it that where you are I just got it a Bottle Shop yeah one then I noticed that the the the liquor store near me which I usually go to is just open as normal and I was like well I kind of wish I hadn't [ __ ] around see I'm starting to think I think you're probably your lockdown is a lot stricter than it is here because I think America's been here worse yeah oh yeah yeah yeah like I think you've got the highest rate of deaths or something
here's the thing though Luke you need to do your lockdown before it gets bad yes that's how you stop it from getting bad no that's the thing we we're already on our way down yeah I saw a chart that was like Australia's headed back down again I'm like well that's must be nice you guys aren't on an official lockdown right we we are very much uh where we do have social distancing in place and a lot of places are shut down a lot of work from home but we're not as strict as right experiencing and probably you are experiencing as well yeah McDonald's is closed oh God all right see how serious has gotten here even for takeout yeah wow see that seemed like fast foods it's all you're not allowed to dine in it's all takeway yeah same but everything like that is still open
shops are still open but they're sort of limiting how many people are allowed in at a time like that um I can go into EB Games tomorrow wow really see for us only supermarkets are open Andes I think it's because we probably locked down a little bit earlier yeah than you guys did so we were able to sort of get on top of it a little bit faster cuz I think we went to lockdown one or two weeks before yeah that's true cuz I was like oh wonder if we will end up doing that and then well it's not even lockdown here it's like Guilt Trip lockdown like where it's like stay at home and if you don't stay at home we're going to be very disappointed in you the big problem is I'm seeing is people do the right thing and then sort of gets to like a week later and then everyone goes
ah I'm sure it'll be fine and then they get again cuz get cracking down here they're getting more and more strict there's a campaign out right now to do in your neighbor oh God yeah they wanted to do people were pushing for that here and we're not allowed to leave the house without a mask on we're not supposed to I accidentally did yesterday it's $300 fine if you do really jez so your for your first offense and then it goes up we have nothing in place for masks basically it came out about two weeks ago that 50% of carriers show no symptoms so essentially you could you could not think you've got it and therefore not think you need to wear a mask and you could be spreading it around a friend Aaron sort of said the best thing what they sort of had to do
with their work and the best way to try and get people to do the right thing don't be worried about getting it think that you have it and you're not trying to give it to someone else MH yeah people misunderstand what the masks are for I think yeah they do they definitely do because they're talking about you know reopening the economy here and uh you know there's some disagreement over what does that look like I think it looks like opening the you know making the stores making the stores allowing the stores to open again which and there's some debate about whether that's a good idea or not but apparently the only state that is prepared for that cuz you got to have testing and you know contact tracing and all that kind of stuff up to go apparently Rhode Island's
the only one that's actually ready to to do that awesome yeah that is neat we uh we have that contact tracing thing if you go into any store and like I said very few are even open but you have to scan a QR code and log in that you're entering that yeah um you're allowed to get your haircut still that's deem D essential so I got a haircut over the weekend um with a mask on via Skype but I had a mask on he had a mask on and at one point he's cutting the sides up above my ears and he cut my mask off and then we just looked at each other he was like sorry did he give you a replace the mask no he didn't no no it was awkward know what to do he said you've led a good life maybe it's time yeah and then he put a little mask on the Clippers put a little mask on his
dick got what's that for he's like you'll find out you'll find out we'll find out if you are getting uh bored during quarantine uh unfortunately unfortunately I don't know how I'm trying to think of a less JY way to say this now I think should have bought that cuz sadly it seems cases of domestic violence are up because of people being locked in houses together and uh Malaysia has put out a few public service announcements uh you know if anybody's concerned about this kind of thing um they've come out and they've said don't worry about it uh women just stop nagging men and you'll be fine no no that's their solution to domestic violence can I come from different angle
don't hit people yeah wow well there's a poster apparently there is a poster that shows a man sitting on a sofa and it says women stop being sarcastic if you need help with the household Jaws I don't even know where to begin yeah so they've uh they've apologized and uh and stopped I guess Distributing the uh the helpful paraphernalia huh so yeah I mean look Malaysia is a Muslim majority country but they're one of the most Progressive Muslim countries um I'm surprised uh that this passed without somebody saying should we think about this for 10 more seconds anybody anybody going
nah let's not mhm mhm I like some the other things that they've sort of come out with they're urging the women to continue to dress up nice and put on makeup yes just the women yeah don't worry yeah yeah they uh they also have uh suggested that women start talking like dormon uh dormon which is that blue cat that like an Asian teenagers go around with stuck on their bags um I'm not sure I know what that is uh I I don't think we have that you no you probably don't let me uh let me paste in a picture or not a picture let me paste in the word I think they burned everything from Asia once this Corona virus dig started here in America so right yeah yeah yeah Asia is
a big place yeah lot of there's a lot of fires Den lot of fire yeah anything from uh Eastern Russia they burned as well yep true yeah yeah doron I've never heard looking at pictures of him now and I can't you know this guy oh okay oh I do know that guy I do know that guy but not I think from Australia he's just a cute high pitch talking cat and apparently there's posters in Malaysia right now that say talk like like this guy instead of in your normal Naggy voice I guess it's like the equivalent of having like Miss Piggy oh not Miss Piggy Miss Piggy [ __ ] don't tell him to do that who am I thinking Minnie Mouse Minnie Mouse oh
think K me what does Minnie Mouse sound like I don't know long time I've heard mini yeah never mind okay and Matt will insert a clip here of Minnie Mouse nagging Mickey Mouse you're late for our date oh my gosh I forgot you see you meet me at the dance in 15 minutes or yeah well there is that episode of The Family Guy where there's a flashback to Disney drawing his first cartoon and making Minnie Mouse strip naked yeah I don't remember that probably for the best yeah so we've got some Australian Corona virus related news Okay a gentleman who I think we may have discussed this uh back at the beginning of all this nonsense uh an Australian guy who
purchased $10,000 worth of toilet paper and hand sanitizer has attempted to return it now that that whole shortage thing didn't pan out yep uh and apparently the the CEO of of the supermarket in question uh gave it like a press conference and said uh let me get the quote exactly I had my first customer yesterday who said he wanted to get a refund on 150 pack of 32 pack toilet paper and 150 units of 1 L hand sanitizer and I told him that and then he flipped the bird to the camera that's great so good that's fantastic can you get a refund at supermarkets under normal circumstances normally with supermarkets in Australia they are pretty lenient with returning stuff as long as you got a receipt they never even thought of returning
something to a grocery store a super so Australia in particular is pretty good with all that stuff I think a lot of retailers are probably scared that they have to even if they don't so they just do yeah cuz there's a lot of consumer protection laws I think it's a little here um I think you can get a refund anywhere just because it's America and you know I've been I've people will buy clothes wear them for a couple of days and then return them so it's just yeah I know America people do that they buy prom dresses and things I've sure I've seen was about that saying can we all stop doing that and then kids like well they're expensive that's true as long as you don't get any grass stains on them so what all right I'm leaving that right
there yeah what did Luke do it prom I've got a I've got a question played football I guess yeah yeah Cricket yeah um which one of you assoles got a stimulus check not me yeah not either I did everybody here did really [ __ ] you everybody who paid taxes here got one yeah uh and apparently some people are putting it to questionable use well I was thinking during the week I I bet certain items have massively spiked during the quarantine and I think sex toys must be among the high one of the things that spiked up was sexy lingerie oh okay fair enough yeah is that because they're like look I'm around the house all the time now my husband is bored of seeing it I need to dress this up somehow yeah maybe I'm not
quite sure yeah I found it weird I just think there's a higher influx of people doing caming oh actually you might be right cuz all the I'm seeing like strippers and stuff who now can't do that so they strip clubs are now trying to onl online it's a good point good point I think about things like this yeah go to vox.com and see if the uh [ __ ] from param are making any money vox.com I I don't know if there's a.com but very well what the voxel is do you remember do do you remember Dan MH the the day we looked up the reviews for the Orban Gentleman's Club oh yes she started screaming when I touched her hair that was I have never been so sad yeah I know I thought it was going to be hilarious and just and and listeners
this is this is not because we wanted to know what we were in for we we moved into a new neighborhood we saw that there was a place called a gentleman's club and we wondered is that actually a club for gentlemen cuz that could be cool or is it a SCP Club yeah or was neither of those a well a br yeah um I thought oh let's look at the reviews that'll be funny reviews for a brothel must be funny right no no they're not not at all they're disgusting at all and just depressing and cuz I most of them were negative well you don't yeah and the negative review for a brothel is a [ __ ] mind trip I tell you if if you had a good time and you're writing a positive review you're gross you're
gross I think you're gross the people who wrote These reviews were gross but if you're writing a negative review it means your experience was like Next Level gross and then yeah but I think they were the ones making it gross though oh the whole situation is gross yeah and I kind of I just wish that I'd never read it cuz now I think back in them I'm like so sad just anyway but it's better to know Matt because there's probably times where you know you've thought oh maybe I'll duck in and you're like no that's right that lady screams when you touch your hair imagine we had because we're [ __ ] dumb we were like oh let's pop in for a whiskey and a cigar Gentleman's Club wearing our smoking jackets yeah and we' like rocked in there and then found what was
described in those reviews then that's right I mean how far would we have had to go before we found that out I mean it's it's not like we wanted a good scotch and so we went in and said give me one that's 18 years old no uh well I guess that's what want me to spend your stimulus check uh the the other is uh apparently a dinosaur inflatable dinosaur costume I do like those great they are great not the intended usage of the money I'll be honest uh sure it's stimulating to me that there are people dressed as dinosaurs so uh is it all about just blowing it on crap is it I think it's supposed to be so you can pay your [ __ ] bills because people lost their jobs spend are you sure if you cuz if you're spending at Shops it means that the the the the
flow on effect it's basically just get people spending and not oh I think he might be right I don't understand this all fine I thought it was just to help me by so mean I'm just mate blow it still got mine what are you going to blow it on know you've got one week to come back to us and tell us what ridiculous [ __ ] you bought with your stimulus check all right fine cuz it's all the flow on effect like they give you these money you go spend it on you buy meals or go shopping spend means that they can then afford to keep paying their employees which then will keep them employed which then me that they can spend and it just yeah it keeps going and going right so I shouldn't just be investing it yeah in fact you're what's ruining America's
economy thanks cuz like even here something like even um like police working they they don't have to rust as many people working at night anymore cuz security guards it's all of this extra stuff it is it's the stuff you don't think of we we talked on on the podcast a couple of weeks ago about how Cinemas Across America have closed down might be going bankrupt yeah well you know who has already gone bankrupt the company the one company that makes seats for Cinemas oh [ __ ] they're gone they have shut down wow so I guess we sit on the floor if this ever reopen oh God not the floor in there oh no oh no did you guys ever go to gindas in Sydney gindas gindas it's a it's a cinema um that plays I mean it plays regular films too but it mostly plays
Hindi movies Bollywood movies oh okay you go in there it's all you can eat Indian Food Vegetarian and then you um you sit on the floor and watch films huh all right oh man if you tried to take Indian food into a cinema here they'd [ __ ] shoot you cuz you're not allowed to bring outside food in or because they don't like Indians cuz it's very potent what I'm saying I told you the story of we we watching um Annihilation at the movies and I took a bag of I don't know if you guys luk anation out of the movies in America yeah oh okay I think that came straight to Netflix here we get uh yeah it was like that remember in Australia it was like we don't get any of these movies here we get a lot of them like we get well not right now obviously and maybe we'll see what
happens but yeah it used to be you'd be like 2030 movies playing at a time it's pretty cool so we're watching that and I Luke I know you know what these are because I stockpiled them the first time we came here together you know the the pretzels that I got yes that's the Buffalo ones and then there's these jalapeno pretzels it's like pretzel chunks like do you know what you know what these are Dan no I know what a pretzel is is it like a pretz it's not not like a normal pretzel it's like imagine you know one of those big pretzels like a sand crunched up into chunks yeah like it's crispy and and in little chunks and then they dump whole bunch of really strong flavored in this case jalapeno powder on them right okay they're delicious but they are very
smelly and I I just didn't think about it so I get in the middle of the movie I open the bag and then all these heads just like turn this this smell is just like did you just sold your on and eat them no I I put away that's the other thing too not only that I've already drawn attention to myself and then I'm going to [ __ ] crunch these things no man I I get embarrassed when I'm opening a packet of chips yeah just for the sound I wait for an action sequence yeah I wish more people got embarrassed and upset by stuff like that there are people who just do not care oh no one cares anymore about anything on the phone yeah I've I've been in PH you know how like when it's dark you don't need
your phone bright yes yeah I've had people in there who they fight they turn up to set the bright as it can be and I'm like what is that man I just I don't there's sometimes I go to see a movie here like for example Blade Runner 2049 I went and saw that three times and every time I loved it and I was like man going to the movies is great like I really enjoyed that experience but I think that's cuz no one else saw that movie and I was there with like a handful of people cuz then I go and see like uh you know Avengers or whatever and I'm like these people suck yeah yeah people are the worst movie audience are the worst subgroup of people in the world now W I like every having fun and
laughing great but the people who are don't want to be there and just yeah no stop laughing stop having fun sit there quietly yeah I told you when I saw Justice League there was a guy I mean I didn't this didn't matter so much cuz I was like oh at least it's entertaining now but there's a guy yelling out one liners like like in George castanza like the you know the opening credits of Justice League you guys seen it right I don't very long time ago you know there's the opening credit sequence and it's got a very Zack sndy kind of Montage except weird because well it's a little weird because they've made it during the day instead I'm not anyway but there's this Montage anding a Zack Snider Montage that's that's what yeah a
little bit like that and but there's a homeless guy with a sign that says I tried and then this guy behind us yells out not hard enough buddy like that kind of thing that wasn't a cameo by Zack Schneider was it God you think he was like I I unfortunately I'm going to have to step down as director my daughter has committed suicide and Jos was like I've got something for you to do this will be hilarious no I think I think what happened was uh they called him in to uh who produces these Warner Brothers right got called into Warner president of Warner's there and they're like you're stepping down man we don't like what you're doing your other movies are losing money hand over fist he's like you know no way you're going to get me
out of this and they're like well we disagree um and then you know Taps the button on the desk says to the secretary kill the daughter and he's like okay I'll step down but then he turns up on the day they filmed that scene with his little sign just to let us know that this was not his idea he that what all right that's how movie studios work man I still don't think it would have been a good movie definitely even if even if his daughter had lived it yeah I mean she wasn't in the movie so I don't see what I had to do no well they had to remove all they had to cut her out of it yeah like Brandon Lee she was actually playing it's Henry Cav's
mustache you know what's funny hone uh did you just say Brandon Lee yes yeah okay I for a second there I thought maybe I'd made it up um when you watch the crow now it is perfectly obvious which scenes Brandon Lee is not in yeah not to me as a child no neither I thought it was an absolute Triumph in fact I would have sworn they shot him on the last day of shooting yeah I guess we're more aware of how it works now yeah one of these things as an AUD that we're not as forgiving as we used to be well I mean and they did it pretty well too cuz now they would have just done a bunch of CGI basically there just entire scenes where you don't see the guy's face and it's like that's a bit weird and now
that we understand the craft a little bit it's like I mean less so me but well I guess we just I've seen a lot of movies I watch a lot of behind the scenes and I've been on sets so I kind of like if I don't see the actor's face I assume it's a standin now yeah that's right like I just kind of tick that off in my head like exactly yeah I got to watch that movie again yeah holds up great movie yeah and I'm thankful every time the see the the Remake fall through yes well they they already did four sequels right yeah and they they were all awful including the one that wasn't so bad but a remake we do not need yeah um I saw people mad at Quenton Tarantino because of the Bruce Lee thing in um in
uh what Upon a Time in Hollywood and uh he he I think this was recent he came he did an interview at some event where he said no I stand by it Bruce Lee wasn't arrogant [ __ ] next question I was like you know what I kind of like quit and Tarantino he doesn't give a [ __ ] the whole premise of that film it's called once upon a time in Hollywood because it's a story it's a madeup story I mean you don't see people getting the shits hold on [ __ ] Brad Pit didn't [ __ ] murder the Manson family yeah he didn't do that and he didn't beat [ __ ] Bruce Lee in a fight it's just made up that's what that's what he said people say to him oh you know that Brad Pit's character could not have beaten Bruce Lee and he said I tell him
I [ __ ] wrote the character if I write that he can beat Bruce Lee he can beat Bruce Lee yeah that's right yeah like that is great great I got to watch it again I know that I was like I wasn't sure if I liked it at first I'm pretty sure I said that on the show but it's I keep thinking about it yeah that's sign of a good movie yeah it's like a song on the radio if you like a song straight away chances are it's not a great song and you'll you'll get sick of hearing it it's the ones that you that grow on you and I watched this the second time and thought it was even better than the first time okay I will watch it again I think I got to say though uh I've been to Los Ang and I've driven in Los Angeles I know you have two um you don't tear around [ __ ]
corners especially in the Hills without [ __ ] stopping and looking both [ __ ] ways yes or you just run into a the bumper of the 500 stopped cars in front of you yeah speaking of uh speaking of movies and unrealistic stuff in movies you guys seen splash a very long time ago yes I'm not sure I have I think I've only read The Mad Magazine parody of Splash I bet that was great what was it called they usually have a like a funny play on words but I don't know what you can do with Splash splooge I don't know I doubt it was SP prove me wrong L prove me wrong Indiana Jones in the Last Crusade was Indiana Jones and his last crew days oh no no what are you doing Mad Magazine oh they went out of business
that's why yes they did they did they sure did I [ __ ] loved Mad Magazine umun when they were going out of when they were going out of business there were all these people going oh what it's sad they're going out of business I used to read it a long time ago they didn't go out of business well maybe you kept buying it they wouldn't yeah yeah I um I had you probably remember I had a collection of them Dan and I uh I sold them yeah so sold them to Daryl Hannah um look I have seen splash I would done that uh Luke do you remember the hardcore offensive and gratuitous nudity in splash I must have missed it yeah I think we all did uh and I even
re-watched it this week just to remind myself what it used to look like um not the whole movie just the scene that we're about to describe um I I I watched the what you're about to describe the new version of this and I actually made me think well now I just want to see what Daryl Hannah's ass looks like yeah I mean she's a beautiful I wouldn't even thought of it before yeah yeah um G so there's one scene in the film where Daryl Hannah who is a mermaid but has legs uh kisses not a mermaid not a mermaid yeah suppose well merges means ocean and ma means woman so you can be a woman in the ocean and not have a fish tail surely I couldn't Dan I couldn't have
tried on the water [ __ ] long time Tom Han prune Tom Hanks yeah it's Tom Hanks right yeah gives Tom Hanks a kiss runs off into the water she has extremely long hair which m covers her nudity entirely um and yet Disney have decided now that it's on Disney plus um to take it from a from a low PG to a high G by superimposing some kind of fur Merkin over her butt and it doesn't look it's weird it is so weird you can't see anything in the original footage and it's no it's notating in any way yeah I'm looking at a picture of it now and I was like you know I mentioned before I wouldn't you know I mean you couldn't jerk off this
put it that way I still don't know what her her ass looks like to be honest yeah I can just see the edges so it's not like I don't think they spent a lot of money or time trying to cover it I think they gave to an intern to do on his first day certainly what it looks like real bad but you know this is this has ruined uh the internet for perverts now because now if you type in Daryl Hannah's ass into Google Images you get this monstrosity yeah you think that's common you think Daryl Hannah is still the the number one Google search for people forget PornHub mate Google Daryl Hannah remember Daryl Hannah no not really yeah you know from the 80s what was she in
oh Blade Runner Blade Runner and yeah splash I don't think I've seen Splash what I have seen Blade Runner I've just found the the Mad Magazine parody I was referring to was called Splash dance and it's it that was a different magazine that I had when I was a child um the and it was a a crossover parody Flash Dance and splash splash dance sounds hilarious the The Godfather the odd father oh have you found Indiana Jones in his last crude days I didn't I found super duper man which is very clever and tri Panic the James Cameron film triy Panic Tri panic I remember these puns being a lot
better we were also a lot younger yeah Batman is bats man I guess he has bats I I don't remember I do remember that though that particular issue because you know when Batman when he's in the Batwing and he takes the Joker's poisonous balloons and then just floats them over the ocean in the Mad Magazine he's on the coms with Alfred and Alfred goes won't they just float over another city and he goes yeah but that's their problem that's very true I remember uh the Edward Scissor Hands one and it had the sequence at the end where you know where Edward fights the the jock in the up in the top of the Mansion fights huh I got to rewatch that who was always the nerd when he he was a kid and
then always The Jock when he was an adult that's interesting yeah but the the the dialogue in that section of the comic was um come on I'm I'm going to hit you with this bat man and then Edward says get away from me you Joker and I was like huh wow Tim Burton directed Batman I get it yeah I bet you [ __ ] loved that joke as a kid I I did cuz I got it it was like a exactly that was you were like that's joke to me and people like me yeah Tim Burton fans not not a joke but the the thing that I used to [ __ ] piss myself laughing at when I was a kid was in Batman Returns uh which is not a good movie A settle down oh come off it um when he when shoots at that guy with that hook and he goes you missed and then he pulls it and pulls a bit of a
wall out behind him um yeah in my head I so I saw that movie with um do you guys remember dick Richard for yeah so I saw I saw um I saw that with him and you know when you recall the lines from a movie afterwards um yeah we would just always recall them quite wrong and um for some reason we had convinced ourselves that when that guy said you missed Batman said bull crap and [Laughter] then and I was I was so disappointed years later when I Revisited that film only to find that Batman says not a goddamn thing doesn't use the phrase bull crap bull crap that movie at all that's such a pen thing to say nobody says that such a 12-year-old pen thing too you know what I mean bull crap
mate you missed bull crap oh that's good that is a great movie though Batman Returns tear I'll not hear a bad word about it haven't seen it in a very long time so I can't comment it's got my favorite Danny Elfman score that's your favorite Danny Elfman yeah it is good I'll give you that it is it is very good 100% my favorite Danny Elfman score I know the movie is flawed but the the soundtrack is fantastic it is I think my favorite would have have to be I mean they're all the same pretty much he's gotten more diverse as he's gotten older but they're actually and by that I mean less interesting I love movie scores where you're not meant to pay attention to them yeah ex exactly
yes and I understand why but it's just a shame did you did you have the album music for a darkened theater yes yeah that was great I had to send away for that and wait like8 weeks for it to come in I obtained it from the internet at some point I think I might I might prefer the Edward scissor has score oh yeah because of all those really poetic dancing in the snow yes type he and stuff he mentions on his master class that that music the snow dance is so iconic that he has that that is the the piece of music that he has the most like phone calls from his
lawyer about where he's like we had another one someone's ripping this off yes he said that so uh and then sometimes he'll be watching a TV commercial and he's like uh did I get paid for that one's like all right that's but yeah iconic The Simpsons once you oh of course yeah once once you realize that's him you can't unhear it that it's just every other Danny Elfman score just played with different instruments yeah is there a a musical uh term for for that Matt uh I'm sure there is he likes whatever it is he he likes it he does he does I I was listening to a sorry I was watching a film the other
day that score was by Philip Glass now Philip Glass has done some amazing film scores but they're literally the same this one was just um [ __ ] I can't even remember what film it was now but I've I've got a couple of old soundtracks you know from the CD era um yes and I'm just like so I know them pretty well you know what I mean I know the tunes and it it's just verbatim like it's just [ __ ] atinado after atinado it just doesn't change anything it works so it does work yeah well in in his master class Danny ofman talks about how Tim Burton just liked Oingo Boingo which fair enough oo Boingo is [ __ ] great and by the way if you don't know I if you don't know who Danny Elfman is then I guess can't help you
but if you do know who Danny Elfman is from films check out Oingo Boingo and you might be amazed that he he was a rock star first like I mean a weird redheaded Rockstar sure yeah but he was like he's a very good singer and his is [ __ ] fantastic Tim Burton just liked oo Boingo and said hey do you want to do the music of my film and he was like I don't know how to do that and then when and then Tim was like no no I think you do I think you just need to do it and it turns out he's really good at it was that Peewee big adventure yeah yeah and he he and that's a great score too yes well apparently Tim Burton showed him the bit at the you know the rub Goldberg machine at the start and all that and um and he um went home and wrote this music and he was like this is
ridiculous and then sent him a tape with it on and he was like yep you're hired that's great all right then if you do what Matt suggests and you go and listen to oo Boingo Oingo Boingo and you like them you should also check out a very underappreciated film from the 80s called back to school which stars uh Rodney Dangerfield as the father of someone who starts college and moves into a dorm and then he decides he also wants to go back to school and moves into the dorm too but the Suns a nerd and Rodney Dangerfield is a party animal it stars Robert Danny Jr in a very early role as just the best friend of the Sun but they go to a party and Oingo Boingo are playing at the party and Danny Elman is
in the film I mean the whole band's in the film yeah just playing some college gig yeah you should watch it I mean do you know he composes you know how everyone kind of has a go-to instrument I would I mean maybe that's not common knowledge but I would I would estimate most musicians have a go-to instrument uhuh right like mine would be guitar cuz I'm most familiar with it yeah his is the xylophone huh I mean it makes [ __ ] sense yeah when he starts working on a film he'll just he has a room you could see footage of this in the master class he's got a room was full of [ __ ] xylophones wow and to learn to play he pretended to be enrolled in a course at [ __ ] Stanford and just showed up and and then like learned how to play he's never had
formal music training what wow yeah I know right okay Jesus mind blown Daniel for masterclass fascinating huh that probably is fascinating I think the Philip Glass Master Class is probably just him sitting on the stool slow track in and then goes pick one note on the keyboard count up count up three then count up four play those notes in any order over and over there's your score for every movie if you want to mix it up start on a different note yeah count up three then count up four composing speaking of Stanford University um yes there's somebody who studied at Stanford that I'd like to submit to uh
geek of the week oh and that's uh that's Mr John Conway and if you if you don't know who John Conway is um you might like this ironic piece of news that he was the inventor of the game of life and he has died he lost well part of the game of of life is dying is it I've actually never played it haven't you Danny I mean I'm playing it right now sure yeah you know in a very meta way I'm playing it sure I remember playing the game of Life as a kid and liking it because the board was interesting but actually I think it's a bit [ __ ] I liked the ad because the board looked interesting there's a twirly thing you put little kids in a car yeah but it's one of these things
like there's no there's no actual game it doesn't matter who's playing what you're doing it's you just move your piece it's just random y oh you make a choice twice you can choose not to go to college right isn't that yeah you can choose not to go to college and that's the only thing so at the start of the game you can take a risk and get go ahead a little faster but you get less job choices but you can still not go to college and still get doctor yeah that's right can you not go to college but say you went to Stanford and then just play the xylophone and become a successful musician yes that is one of the cards corre yeah okay well he's up there just while we're on the topic he do anything else no he didn't do anything else he was a mathematician he not impressed not
impressed um Matt do we have any Rambo first Blood news tonight that might kind of tie in with geek of the week I forgot yeah we do don't we the sheriff finally Karma caught up with him [ __ ] did Sylvester Stallone kill him maybe listeners if you're confused at this point that's because we failed to mention that Brian Den also died this week and was up for Geek of the week and that's why we just suddenly started talking about him with no context okay back to the show imagine that just before he died he calls Sylvester and he's like I'm going to die like I'm very very sick right now do you want to do it do you want I find it funny that your go-to for him as an actor is Rainbow but for me it's the movie FX FX which one's
FX I'm pretty sure he was in it [ __ ] hate when lukies me yeah what the [ __ ] it's a movie with um Brian Brown 198 he's a special effects he's a special effects guy and he gets brought in to help fake someone's death but I want to watch this movie now this looks [ __ ] great they're great movies I only watched them like weeks ago what do you mean them there's a sequel yeah the sequel's not as good oh my God FX2 yep holy [ __ ] all right okay well I'm going to watch this back in the days remember before they had to have different names for sequels you just have like that and then you have
Ghostbusters yeah just a number yeah yep yeah yeah if the first Star Wars film had come out in the ' 80s I'm pretty sure the Empire Strikes Back would have been called Star Wars 2 well they were calling it that for a while right like and then I I think it was called Star Wars 2 in production or pre-production oh right yeah I mean it makes sense well if you look at IMDb things that called Untitled Avengers movie 2021 yeah well I think we've talked about this before I remember we definitely talked about Batman Returns already but I remember when they said Batman 2 was called Batman Returns and I was like huh yeah weird same I remember where I was when I heard that it was a it was a really important moment in my life
oh not going to elaborate no just that Batman was like Far and Away my favorite movie like sure and abely when I heard that and it was kind of every other movie that I'd gotten into that had sequels they already existed so I was you know like when I watched Star Wars it was 1984 there were already the sequels you know and when I watched Indiana Jones around roughly in the same time there was already a sequel where I watched Batman there was no Sequel and then suddenly there was yeah they were making it yeah so did either of these gentlemen die of Corona virus um I believe that at least one of them did that's um stupid that's a shame well not that it's not a shame that they died of something else so it must have been the other one
Brian we're calling him Brian now yep I like to think that this FX movie build it as the two Brian uh oh do you know what I watched uh on my birthday because I do that I do it on my birthday is I watched hackers again that's what that's your birthday Tradition like jerk jerking off to Angelina Jolie before she got her boob job that's not how I describe it but uh the when I was 18 I turned 18 I had a party and I made everybody watch hackers and so uh it's a I'm making it a thing nice and I wanted to watch it so anyway but Fisher Stevens is in it obviously as Eugene Belford Mr OB mhm and that made me want to watch short
circuit one and two which another film that no disassemble Stephanie that got us a sequel nice soft while I was aware of it like I saw short circuit 2 at the movies as a child and I was excited about it that might have been before Batman huh when did short secet 2 come out yeah man sequels when we were kids were I remember when the third uh Child's Play came out I was dead said excited 1988 so yes it was before Batman not great reviews shot circuit 2 no I don't have well I think all the lines we remember from any short circuit movie are from the first one let's be honest number five is
alive speaking of obscure things from the 80s um I'm rewatching community at the moment [ __ ] that's a great show oh it is oh manp writing the writing on this show is just amazing um but there's there was a Yahoo serious joke right and I I had no idea Americans even knew who Yahoo serus was I think for a short period they did and then they promptly forgot yeah yeah yeah Mr accident I think was supposed to be his big no no Mr accident yeah was his big the one where he's in La I think that's supposed to be his big breakthrough thing but unfortunately I I do think I have seen that yeah not Mr kless Kelly that's the one I've seen yeah
with uh Hugh no I don't remember a goddamn thing about it no it's got [ __ ] elrond agent Smith hug Hugo weaving Hugo weaving is the bad guy in it huh in uh Reckless Kelly anyway is that entirely Australian that movie cly sounds like it is it it's mostly shot in Sydney I believe but it is filmed in Los Angeles like he goes to Los Angeles goes La yeah yeah yeah don't have a lot of memories of that too remember Young Einstein pretty well though yes so that's saw that of the movies I think a school Excursion I think yes did you have to save the labels on your cotty cordial for your ticket possibly oh I remember that being a thing now C's cordial had a
label on it and if you kept that La label if everyone in your class had it your whole class got to go and see young Einstein huh does cot's cordial still exist I don't know will I will go and find out say you're the only one in the country you got to find out for Luke I will give an update next week very good um so Hope they've got lime uh are you going to give cooler it's the the green one's called cooler yeah cooler for some reason I prefer GI lime oh I prefer GI Joe just sugar I prefer um Joe Versus the Volcano I prefer Dante's Peak yeah I prefer Dante's seventh level of Hell speaking
of are you going are you going to give Brian Den geek of the week we I wanted to talk about a documentary but I do need to know this first yeah who gets geek of the week if anybody Brian Den only because of he's working FX so John FX John Conway [ __ ] off no you wasted your life and Brian Den you've wasted your game of life you lose uh Brian if all you'd ever done was Rambo uh first blood then uh you would not be being mentioned here because Luke yeah did not like your Lu you did two films that only Luke has seen very particular rules for getting geek awake that I make up each death uh I I watched a documentary this week
though I wanted to briefly mention it's called hail Satan with a question mark at the end and it's about I I I saw I saw the phrase hail Satan in here and um I wasn't going to ask I wasn't going to ask it's it's followup which is why I want to mention it because we've talked in the past about the Statue of baffet that the the satanic temple wanted to put up in we have where did they put that up wasio somewhere well they wanted to and this is a documentary about that but about the I guess about Satanism in general and well modern Satanism like what it is and wh why and all that kind it's not meant to be bad it's well it's just it's it it depends on who you talk to I think it addresses some of my problems with it which are that you attract crazy people who just want to be
satanists but bathing blood yeah but a lot of the organizations that call them like you know say the satanic temple they don't believe in Satan they don't believe they're atheists it's just a way to it's a contrarian religion to question established Christi started yeah the reason it started was because in America in particular Christianity has a like a a favoritism it's like you get special treatment basically over all other religions and other religions weren't having much luck changing that and so what these guys wanted to do was say okay you want to put a stat of the Ten Commandments up we don't think that's right because that's that's basically saying Christianity is better
this is the [ __ ] Courthouse right and Christianity is the boss like they don't they don't agree with that yeah and so the only way to get them to not do it is to say fine you want to do that we're going to put a statue of Satan up as well and then the Christians will rather just not have a statue at all then allow both yeah so and I can sort of see like I know in Australia like most of our holidays are all around the Christianity yeah well it also mentions too it's quite interesting that apparently a lot of the stuff that Americans associate with you know America being a Christian Nation was all like brought in in the 50s during the you know to fight communism because they they said the Communists are atheist and they're going to they're Godless and
they're going to come and kill us we're a Christian Nation and they added all the you know like under God to the Pledge of Allegiance and all that kind of stuff it all happened in the ' 50s that is and people people just don't know that I didn't know that no I didn't know they either I actually didn't realize that Communists were atheists I mean maybe they're all not but that like the Soviet Union was completely atheist um I have a I have a friend over here who's Russian and we're talking about Christmas and they celebrate Christmas but it's not called Christmas and they don't have Santa Claus they have um winter present man or something yes it's very literal yeah I'll put it to you though mat man yeah that's right the uh the director of
hail Satan um is named Penny Lane and I put it here that's a fake name it probably is yeah I do like uh the guy who is what is his name um Lucien Graves is the head of the satanic temple and at one point in the documentary some uh some Republican senate or something says it's not even his real name his real name is something something and then it cuts to Luc and he goes well that's not my real name either my pseudonym is run many levels deep for obvious reasons like that's quite funny that's great just jumping back to FX for a sec um the producer of FX Dodie fed the guy who died in the car with Princess Diana
wow that is interesting it all comes together now Brian den and Princess Diana you heard of here first they're Linked In indelibly linked anyway I recommend checking out hell Satan it's interesting it's not probably not what you think and in fact they point out like I said some of the issues I have there's like a chapter of of the satanic temple that goes a bit nuto and starts having basically religious ceremonies and the head of it is like no you missed the point this is not what we're for yeah that always happens though I mean I well that's that's that's one of the reasons I don't like that stuff is because I feel like it encourages the silliness yeah craziness I I first met satanists
when I was a teenager and um you know there were really nice people that explained to me that Satanism isn't about um worshiping Satan it's just about loving and all of this stuff like that and I was like well then why do you need Satan like why do you need to why do you need to have this contrarian that well I I I thought the same thing but this this documentary kind of did make me think okay it is a useful tool I think if you're if you're that serious about it but I still think if you're just sitting around with your friends and you're like ah let's be satanists then that's just dumb yeah yeah just doing the Texas long horns at each other yeah look the the the same thing happened with pastafarianism you guys know about that
yeah yes yeah 100% it was not supposed to be a movement it was that somebody was trying to get get their kid out of learning scripture in school and so he made up a religion that he called pastafarianism and said my daughter's pastor farian we worship a big spaghetti monster so she can't do your Jesus thing and you know they they told him he couldn't do it and then it became this whole thing and then he stuck by it because he was like no [ __ ] you if you get to learn about your imaginary friend I get my daughter to learn about her imaginary friend but now people are trying to like legitimately start an organize religion about it it's like no that's the point is to not do that and cuz again there's an example where there's a guy who who did it because um
they you know like if you're getting a an ID photo um particularly in the US I think you actually this might have been in Australia if you're going to for his hat yeah because you're not allowed to wear any kind of covering your face has got to be perfectly visible unless it's a religious mhm piece of clothing and so you have certain religions have clothing that obscures their face and people were like that defeats the purpose of it and so this guy as kind of a protest said well I'm pastafarian so I have to wear a colander on my head for my driver's license photo and he won so his driver's license photo he's wearing a colander on his head see one guy does that it's a protest he wins good for him well no really because anyone else is Achi what he wanted they just said okay you can do
it too which is not the point it's the point was trying to get it so he was trying to get so that burkers came off for the photos yes basically yeah and it so it didn't work here in Singapore um L mentioned public holidays we get we get two public holidays for each religion's special days so we get one day off at Christmas one day off at Easter one day off at idma bar and one day off at har Rah for the Muslims and we get one day off at um that's fascinating I'm being tested now one day off at you get made a fourth off we don't get you get damn cuz that's coming up soon International Noy day off for pastafarianism I'm gonna have Noy for dinner tonight I've just decided yeah do you get this Thursday off what's this Thursday very important day oh it is an
important day oh sure it's my birthday 39 bit late yeah what are you talking about mate call me when you hit the big 40 all right I'll call you months yeah I'll give you a call yeah yeah I mean we talk every week but give me a call anyway yeah why not well don't forget for that one we will you [ __ ] call me we will be together we'll be together in the happiest place on Earth provided the happiest place on Earth doesn't go out of business which it won't cuz they own everything yeah that's all for this week thank you for listening and we hope you enjoyed the show if you enjoyed it then please subscribe and items to receive episodes automatically we'll see you next time
