Happy Star Wars day everyone oh [ __ ] straight into it welcome to multiple nerdgasm with your hosts Matt Luke and Dan multiple nerdgasm your guide to All Things nerdy well okay it's a couple days away but it will be by the time this comes out is that what you're saying well it's not Star Wars day now and it won't be Star Wars day when the people hear this so I but don't really know what Lou's getting at here it could be Star Wars Day by the time we finish recording this oh he's in a time zone where that might be true you're in a time zone yeah yeah cuz here it's not Star Wars day
for math 18 hours or so it's an hour and 54 minutes here so it'd be a very long podcast if we were still going then yeah after party in the uh Star Wars day yeah but did you see Disney got in a bit of uh trouble for Disney how they trying to celebrate it so Disney came out and went hey tell us like your best Star Wars story or memory and all this use this hash made of fourth and then they came out with this tweet legal tweet after it going basically anything you reply to with this hash we now own and everyone got a little bit crazy about it well on the one hand I think if you're posting something on Twitter I mean it's kind of fair game anyway isn't it like well I think that's what it is they more social L people know hey if you use this
we might use it in our promotions yeah we'll take a screenshot of it and put it up somewhere cuz you posted it publicly so I think you can do that right yeah mean it's not like they're going to steal the copyright on your [ __ ] memory are they it's not like going to be like oh I remember watching Star Wars with my dad and then they're going to be like not that was us Disney we watched Star Wars with our dad if you say otherwise we will sue every time you remember it you owe us $1 that's the future but that's I think it's because I got a bit upset about the wording of it but yeah all I was saying is like look if you reply to us with this we might use it can you own a hashtag is that what this implies what I doubt it right well that was I think
that was some of the blow up as well people were going well you can't even own a hashtag that you didn't create eight yeah well not only that I mean they don't own Twitter yet so yet because I could have I could have just been writing something on my own Twitter with the hash May the 4th because that's just the [ __ ] date that it is yeah and what Disney owns me now well didn't cuz may the fourth didn't start off as a Disney or even a Star Wars sing it started off by F actually it started off as an actual just calendar I was trying to be smart and I just I ruined it I ruined it back in the olden days it was just a day but yeah I think it just started off I don't even think like Luca's art or Lucas film even embraced it for a couple of years until
it really took off yeah but here we are I'm going to celebrate it tomorrow at work bye by I was going to talk in a Star Wars accent what is a Star Wars accent go on there there isn't one oh we pick one going to walk actually I'll stop you there uh I think any accent that is a Star Wars accent is not your accent cuz are there any true no wait a minute there are some Australians in the prequels yeah yes there are surely we should alert the Chan cut that guy out yeah wow see I think it started in what was it in the original movies if you were the B Imperial you were British yeah yeah except for obiwan good guys were American Obi-Wan and also Darth Vader was American so I think kind of was that like a original trilogy thing or was
that just something Vin kerser did in Empire or was that I guess was it just accidental I think that's more I think it's just more accidental that's just where they were filming and so you get local actors in probably true yeah and then they went yeah that was intentional yep I that annoys me when people do that like it's just something that's just happened because and then people try and twist it into this statement or something no not like George Lucas to make up that's movie it's not like a painting where you just paint whatever you want and don't paint whatever you don't want making a movie you kind of have to roll with the punches a little bit yeah totally what was it in your in your course you're doing when they're talking about what
was it the Candy Man how like meant to be crawls in the mouth and crawls out the ass yeah yeah yeah you see the director on set being like and then he crawls out the ass I wonder if Jordan Peele is Jordan peele's not doing it right no it's a different guy he's producing it the Remake wonder if it's going to have have the old yeah any old unea look let's hope so Jordan peele's doing something else new that interest County yeah yeah with JJ who also interests me but I must say I don't know if it looks any good I didn't watch the trailer yet yeah I saw there was a trailer I have not watched it yet watch it and then report back to me all right I will that's your homework
for this week it's pretty pretty easy homework all right good good did did I have homework uh the episode's not over yet we could we could work some homework out for you I did some homework for last week oh yeah oh you did uh yeah Matt after you watched the three uh man with no name films oh yeah I decided I was going to catch up as well cuz it's been years Poss since I've seen them and I've decied to watch them in reverse order that's one does yeah so yesterday I watched The Good the Bad and the Ugly mhm great movie don't remember it being 3 hours long it's it's very slow it's very it's very long a lot of that is just people walking through the desert could have been could have been trimmed down a bit Yeah I think yeah for sure I could have could have done with a bit of
an edit uh but still very good and really killer scenes in there yep uh yeah so for a few dos more next and hopefully by next week I would have seen all three Okay cool so you haven't watched for a few dollars more yet no not yet cuz that's the one we we talked about you know I quite enjoyed that a lot this time uh so I'm just curious to see it's the one I remember the least about okay I watched another movie this week that uh that I'd like to talk about if you guys will permit me I'll I'll allow it this time thank you uh this film is called the man who killed Hitler and then Bigfoot okay I'm
aware so you finally saw it I've had this in my library for quite some time and just haven't you've you've got to be in the right frame of mind for a movie like this yeah right you You' got to really really want to be able to accept a movie called the man who killed Hitler and then Bigfoot you know you you've got to want that schlocky horror comedy um so I waited until I was it's not like a date night film oh I've got be for to watch but then also it's not like a I've got an hour just throw something on for starters there is no way I could convince ha to watch this movie exactly but also when do I watch it you know I've got to be in the right frame of mind and so I was just I was in the perfect frame of mind for something
Dopey the other night quite late and I popped this on only to find out this is not a comedy oh it's not this is a very serious movie about somebody who has PTSD from killing Hitler and um oh and uh and is called upon to to kill Bigfoot and is all like yeah well that's all I am to you a [ __ ] killer aren't I thanks America like it's why he kill bigfoot because because the government want him to come out of retirement he's taking over the Nazi party we got to stop him so this uh this film stars Sam Elliott and if you don't know the name um you'd know his face voice and mustache he he's Australian isn't he he's always plays an old cowboy he's said in the big leowski
right he in the big leowski yeah yeah um I think he actually won an Oscar for best supporting role in uh A Star is Born last year oh um as the guy who punches uh Lady Gaga I haven't seen that would be a very different movie put it this way so the the killing of Hitler is is told in flashbacks right when he was a much younger man but the movie proper is set when he's old and retired and thinking back on his career anding that he didn't take a life even the life of somebody who really [ __ ] deserved it right shut and then the Govern he killed someone else as well the government come and and tell him that he that they want him to go and hunt down Bigfoot and so he does begrudgingly and as you do but you know
but like he's he says goodbye to we family he knows he's not coming back he says goodbye to his brother he's rehomes his dog like it's so [ __ ] serious man and then he's so conflicted with like he knows he has to kill this thing when when he finally kills Bigfoot you guys don't mind spoilers right when he finally kills Bigfoot right he's crying there are tears rolling down this old man's cheeks and he's shooting it and and through the tears saying I didn't want it to be this way like this is not the comedy I had in mind the other night that's sounds so weird I thoroughly recommend it did he have a fist fight with Bigfoot I don't know why I just I just SE him wrestling it yeah no he wrestles it he wrestles it for sure for sure he
wrestles it oh God what sorry did we did I get clarification on why the government needs Bigfoot murder assassinated okay look they they gloss over that pretty Qui but basically Bigfoot is up in Canada and is spreading a virus okay and and they say that if the virus isn't contained it's going to infect the whole of Canada and then America Next and this is why people you need to use protection even when having sex with Bigfoot mhm don't trust him to say he's clean you know what they say about big feet infected yeah that's right all right so thumbs up on that I guess uh yeah i' I'd say so look I mean for all of its trying to be serious it it certainly verges on cheesy from time to time but I think that the goodness
outweighs the Badness and uh yeah I think put this on your list actually watched a television show this week that I think just came out in Amazon Prime upload have you heard of this one I feel like I've heard of it so it's about it's sort of set in the future where when you can sort of live forever so when people are dying instead of dying and going away they Bas transfer their Consciousness into a computer okay y I couldn't work out what the show was trying to be it was sometimes it would go down sort to goofy having fun path and other times it was quite serious and I just get the feeling they maybe changed Direction after they started filming I don't know why crying while you're killing Bigfoot serious no oh yes it's all about sort of Corporations and making money and all
this stuff but I recommend it I watched the entire season in 2 days so okay how many how many episodes just 10 episodes okay upload yeah that sounds interesting that's a thing I uh I'm interested in yeah it's all about how like like yeah people so you got to be rich to have everything and then there like there people who go in who sort of get like two gig of data a month okay that does sound cool sounds like something Sam Harris would watch I don't know if he watches TV he sounds like it sounds like something Sam Harris would watch would read an academic paper on he didn't like Tiger King and I listened to him discussing why he didn't like Tiger King and I was like pretty good points what uh which episode does he discuss that on
uh it's one of the you know he's doing like a weekly and a weekly it's um one of the one of the you know kind of casual chat ones where they're talking about Target King and just about how like it's just basically about the story is really just about these people who are [ __ ] addicted to meth and will do anything for drugs but they gloss over all of that and the abuse of the Tigers and kind of make it about this kind of all all this other weird [ __ ] and he said just found him he found it really disturbing I agree with that but that's the appeal yeah well I was one of the people that really wasn't that too impress with it I watched it and I think a lot of people now I think they just got caught up in it and I think it was
just that perfect storm of everyone sort of being having to be locked in the house yeah I'm not sure impressed is the right word to describe my reaction to it Joe Exotic really impressed me I mean I loved it don't get me wrong and once I started I had to finish it but uh yeah I don't know I don't know how impressed I was necessarily I love I love that Luke and Sam Harris are on the same page about this and I would love to hear them talk about it I 100% would and I'd like Ben Affleck to get in there as well all right let's invite them on next week's podcast I want him to violently disagree with Sam on this mhm you think Ben's a fan of Tiger King no I just think he's not a fan of uh Sam Harris yeah I watched a movie yesterday
because out of nowhere as I mean I think out of nowhere I'm not quite sure what triggered this Jenna says to me can we watch k19 the Widowmaker and okay I was like yep all right okay I mean it's got Harrison Ford in it I'm assuming that's why yeah and not just that she loves submarine movies actually I think maybe she does you've got hunt for it October next uh we've already watched that not not super recently but recently enough that I was like is this a thing but uh we watched K9 the Widowmaker which interestingly is not available in this country easily huh really
interesting and I I I mean not that I'm conspiracy minded but I wondered if that was something to do with the fact that it's I mean on a Russian sub well it's it's just all Russian right it's yeah so I don't know interesting it could also just be the fact it's a like a 20-year-old movie and they weren't getting a lot of views so they decid not to license it maybe it is 18 years old now I actually I was like 2002 that's pretty re no it's not though yeah Mar it is directed by Catherine Bigalow who is like the like Queen of Americana mhm oh it's a very good movie I really enjoyed it didn't really enjoy the um the range of Russian accents in it I found Harrison Fords in particular to be a
little lacking but that's fine well in that you've just watched also The Hunt for Red October I think they had a fantastic device to get around nobody doing Russian accents Sean connory they zoom in on Conor's mouth while he's speaking Russian and then oh sure yeah slowly morphs to English they zoom out of his mouth and now all the Russians just speak English in whatever accent they have yeah genius I guess I need uh submarine movie recommendations no this movie was good though I don't know that I'd seen this before I knew of it but I don't know that I'd seen it but it was interesting based on a true story about a Russian nuclear submarine that was out on a test basically just to show America that they had one and the the reactor [ __ ] up and and about how a bunch of
crew members died and then them trying to survive pretty interesting and uh I definitely do not ever want to be in a submarine I don't think no I I can't imagine I'd ever be like [ __ ] it I'll go on a sub although these movies always remind me of a scenario that I would want to be in which is space and because it battar Galactica is was very like this but in space where like you couldn't you're stuck inside the ship you can't even see outside you've got when you look at the Sens of material I think you would be trying to make it sort of like a confined spaces cuz you're just wasting room with you have the power and exactly give air to so yeah I mean I'm pretty
sure the ISS is smaller than your average sub right like you'd be [ __ ] crazy it is a lot smaller than you you would think yeah and like for all its size the bit you can actually go in is a small percentage of the hole Yeah man every time I see a photo of somebody flirting around in that you know they've got that observation room up on the ISS and they've always got photos of someone floating around just looking down at Earth I'm like [ __ ] man that would be sot just day trips just to that you know God that would be crazy and then I imagine like like I imagine seaf fairing back in the day being somewhat like space exploration I mean it's not but but just the adventure of It kind of thing and then I imagine is there going
to be a day where people are just like I'm just going to pop up to Mars like the way that we would say I'm going to you know we're we're going to go to Europe it's exciting but it's just like we're going to go to Europe I think it will happen but and I think it will happen in our lifetime but we won't be able to do it cuz you didn't the forms cuz we didn't feel in the forms I don't think our bodies would be able to do it yeah the ISS has a pressurized volume of 32,000 cubic feet same as Boe 747 oh wow that's that's not big no so you really want to get along with everyone who's there yes there's not that many people up there at any given time just on your point Matt though I I often think about that about kind of the Age of
Exploration you know the exploration of the oceans essentially being akin to space travel not only that if if you got on board early then Not only would countries look very different to your country yes but people would look different to the people you've seen yeah well that's one of my one of my favorite movies when I was a kid uh but I haven't seen it in a long time or miniseries I guess is Shogun which is about the yeah Dutch I think it's dutch Captain who gets Shipwrecked wakes up in Japan MH and it's just perfect Fish Out of Water kind of thing cuz you can't imagine two completely two disperate cultures like yeah like he has no idea what the [ __ ] is going on no and he doesn't understand why they're doing any of the stuff they're doing including why he's in
prison Y and like they walking down the street someone says something [ __ ] dude cuts his head off and everyone on the Street's like well he shouldn't have mouthed off and he's just like what the [ __ ] yeah or when he um when he hangs that duck up to get smoked and uh and a guy cuts it down cuz it's smells but then kills himself because he's Dishonored and he's like the actual [ __ ] has just gone on yeah what happened that's a great movie actually I don't know that it is now that it's been a while and I'm probably going to find I bet it's problematic I bet it is think it's probably problematic too yeah yeah um speaking of problematic though I don't specifically remember Harrison Ford's Russian accent but his not usually one similar to his American
accent exactly that's the thing I the only accent I can actually recall him doing is the Scottish accent in that one scene in the Last Crusade sure yeah no it's not uh well Liam niss doesn't really bother in it either Liam niss but he doesn't do his own accent either Liam n's screen accent is basically just trying not to sound Irish yeah yeah it's it's a good movie I uh I found yeah fascinating it's just weird that it's not available anywhere and it's probably yeah you're probably right Luke it's probably just no one bothered with it yeah like it might have been on something at some point and then they get rid of it yeah even when they do get a license they don't get it
forever no I mean sorry let me clarify you can't even buy it like I was like maybe it's cheap on iTunes or something it's not on iTunes and if you if you Google it and you find the iTunes link it it comes up and says this is not available in the US store and then I checked Google checked Amazon cuz I was like wait a minute what the [ __ ] I but you can't buy it either I mean still could be nothing Italy or yeah well Tortuga Tortuga I'm never going remember I'm never going to remember how to say that T it's just cariban Italy for me yeah you don't want to go to Italy man [ __ ] I do want to go to Italy so do I wrong it is great but you don't want to go now I watched an episode of and
then now come on don't laugh h house hunt is international and I said don't laugh that sounds fine so long as it doesn't have Property Brothers in it Drew and Jonathan are fantastic yeah and yeah there uh house unders International is basically Americans moving overseas and being unreasonably astounded by quite simple and obvious things in other countries um and uh generally getting upset that apartments in these major cities in European countries aren't as big as their [ __ ] houses in Ral America um his kitchen's a bit small yeah it's cuz it's an apartment in the middle of [ __ ] London Sweden mhm so yeah not your Mana house in in corn country it's a good show but anyway yeah
this a woman moved to Italy to this little village and I was just like [ __ ] man that's beautiful beautiful it is I don't think I'd ever want to live in a small village though really I feel like I would oh yeah actually just just depends how good is the internet if the internet iside you you don't leave your house what where are you going that a village doesn't have what you need well I just worried that a small village won't have very good internet there well it's got the internet I'm happy all right man did you see the when we went to Strasburg and all those little medieval French Villages I [ __ ] I would live there in a second did you see my photos of that [ __ ] oh yeah that that area is crazy good yeah I went to a
little village just outside of Strasburg called ratson Reed which is uh I mean [ __ ] it looks like it looks like something out of an Eden bighton novel yeah it looks like it's a theme park except it's not it's a village and people live there yeah yeah well I've actually worked out I'm actually going to have to start being careful I need to start going outside more especially when I move okay because I don't like going outside now but when I'm moving to the I could go straight into the garage remote open so there's no reason for me to be outside for more than 5 minutes what are you what are you avoiding outside for well I just I don't go outside so like that's what living in this nice Italy small village would just
be wasted on me oh that's probably true yeah so who ows your lawn well in the new house I don't have a lawn okay who mows your lawn now I do okay good that that's the extent of me going side I actually did that today oh cool my M it's too wet go on yes I'm pasting something into the into the WhatsApp okay yeah um WhatsApp okay this just this just came this just came on my on my screen right now oh proof postive wi it off for proof positive that my [ __ ] phone list to me because there is absolutely no reason for me to be getting pictures of literal pictures of Shogun that we literally just talked about that we have never [ __ ] spoken about before that is very odd or is
it um did you say Shogun Dan or actually listening to the audio of us all you're right I didn't say it yeah I don't think you did you did describe the scene with the goose yeah [ __ ] me that's pretty weird eh they conspire me all they like as long as they make my life easier very good MH MH I got some good news for you Luke yeah they are Cy cyber Punk will not be sensored in Australia I know I saw that uh story today and I'm I'm a little shocked but I'm very happy about it yeah it's pretty weird right normally they're uh they make them remove that kind of [ __ ] the drug use
and uh drug use in particular right it's not and drug use um the the sex scenes are going to be a big thing as well sexualized violence I guess yeah what does that mean and not only that oh sorry all right it says drug use and sexualized violence the former will appear in abundance I thought it was going to say there [ __ ] tons of sexualized viol the ladder will blow your [ __ ] mind what what is sexualized violence my assumption is it's rape yeah that's what I was thinking too that or yeah something like that and if it is that I'm really amazed that's making it in yeah to Australia cuz that's still normally where they really draw the line these days that's what got fantasmagoria band back in the
day was that even um scene in it St tro oh yeah there had to be in train version cuz there was a dildo gun that would you would shove into Park the game was censored because of rape yeah yes yep Australia says no to games with rape so I just so now I'm happy cuz it's not even like in the old days where you could get an import of a game where you just like import from another country and still be able to play it because now because everything's online you'd import it but it'll just get the an update and an update to whatever country you're in yeah well they're saying that the the player is not going to be involved in any of that which is good uh it's just that there might be that kind of thing happening in the game just in the
background they're like [ __ ] it I'm putting a gratuitous rape into the background of this shot nothing to do with the story cuz they're making with this game it's all going to be first person yeah so even the cut scenes you will see from how you your character sees it includes the sex scenes oh God and evidently they also got motion capture of the sex scenes really interesting I read there was an article this week about how geralt is never naked in The Witcher just because the ratings boards are very very particular about you playing as a naked character apparently in Germany in particular like if you want a [ __ ] death sentence for a video game have the player control a naked person and Germany's like n like
wow wonder why right and then even um NPCs it's fine cuz you don't control them they can be naked but if you're walking around naked not allowed what if you're controlling an NPC well that's not an NPC is it no but I mean not not that you're playing as them right but tell yeah no I'm I'm thinking of like Conan where where you can you can find you can come across naked NPCs that you can hog tie and kidnap and then Force into slavery how does Germany feel about that I'll ask I don't know yeah next next time I'm there I'll ask them yeah how do you feel about hog tying naked people and forcing them into slavery H are you the naked
person well yeah I'm amazed that Australia is like yeah I guess let's just not worry about banning all the games now yeah so that's good good I'm hoping to be back at some point soon and I'm hoping to play some gratuitous sexual violence I wonder if this game would be available in Singapore probably not unlikely no there's no way this would make it in Singapore I mean sexual violence sure fine maybe the drug use yeah that's it so strange that every country is so very different with what they think's okay and what's not cuz they get the ratings a lot of the games will come out with the same ratings but for different reasons yeah yeah I still can't decide what platform to buy this game on what do you mean oh PC or Xbox yeah cuz my PC is better than my Xbox right now and it's going to come out
before the new Xbox and then I got to figure out is the the new Xbox There You Go is is there is there any reason you you need this on the Xbox not like we're going to be playing together no but then the the new Xbox is going to come out and then is it going to be better on that than on this PC maybe probably and the game will automatically update so you don't need to buy like the the new Xbox version of it you just buy it and you have it but I'm going to have to play it on the old Xbox for a period That's the only that's the only downside well you may not have to depending on when they actually released a new one yeah that's true cuz they're still saying that's coming out this year yeah same same kind of window I guess we shall see I mean this would be a this
would be a great exclusive for them to have you know for you to have to buy the new console yeah if they could this as an exclusive they would be laughing it's too late I don't think C project wouldn't do that I don't think I don't think they'd have the money for it they'd have to offer something like ridiculous for it to get back I'm not sure they do it they they seem like a company that's would be against doing something like that oh I I think so as well cuz if you look they actually do use put their games out on good old games which are DRM DRM fre so you can buy it and then you can be a dick who just dist passes the game around yeah mhm yeah they're very strict ethics is not the right word you know what I mean they're just they they're good guys
y they are I was I was going through my games library on Xbox and um I I wanted to continue playing a couple of games that i' abandoned you know now that I've got some time sometimes that that can be hard it it can be hard especially so I I put on Red Dead Redemption 2 this week oh yeah great game it's a beautiful game um but what I remembered quickly is that it's actually incredibly boring and um none of the characters are relatable or even likable so I turned it off again I because I watched you know the uh Sergio Leon films I was actually thinking oh I might play some Red Dead too because I was kind of you know yeah but I I never actually did cuz I was like I don't know that I enjoyed
that that much so maybe I won't bother not the tone of this game is not actually like a Weston I I can't I'm bad at at describing why but I the previous game was much more atmospheric yeah I enjoyed the first one same I think with this one because it is so slow at the start and it's not until you get to the very end of the game and you've unlocked all the areas and you can fast travel and speeds up a bit that yeah that's right I don't think I can fast travel even yet no I can't you have when you have to ride a horse everywhere and you can be riding for a good 15 20 minutes before anything happens it can be a bit difficult just like real life yep back in the old days I couldn't
remember what year that happened the actual the actual old west or when this game came out 1800s 1800 it 1800s and it wasn't for a very long time it wasn't like cowboys were out there for a hundred years it was actually yeah Amic was only like that for a short period of time oh yeah the actual Wild West was basically about 30 years so weird not only that there is only one documented case of a gun in the street where two guys faced off against each other and then pulled out their guns and shot at the same time one because the funny thing is that's more of an English thing that yeah Jewels rich people used to oh yeah um gun fights in the old west there were a lot of gun violence don't get me wrong but it was usually messy and sporadic
the the very famous gunfight at the OK Corral um lasted about 30 seconds it wasn't at the OK Corral it was in a vacant lot between the OK carral and a photo studio and the um the furthest away of any of the two of the nine people that were shooting was 6t it was just a [ __ ] group of people standing in a circle just [ __ ] frantically shooting at each other like that uh scene in police squad where there behind the Cars it's exactly like that but it's sort of weird that people do have like these showdowns like one-on-one gunfights is be something that would have happened but the wild west wasn't like that that's that would be too civilized for the wild west you would just shoot
someone if you going to shoot them oh yeah like if somebody said to me let's fight at dawn tomorrow I'll be like yeah sure I'm [ __ ] coming for you tonight yeah as soon as you turn you back I'm going to shoot you yeah not getting up that early going shoot you in the [ __ ] back dishonorable mate dishonorable the other game I criminals tempted to give another go at Luke Conan oh [ __ ] Conan was ancestors because it's such an interesting concept and we both played it for about the same amount of time Luke and uh I went back and played it for another hour or so hoping I'd progress a little further and I didn't and it's just it's really not that interesting and it's also you're not quite sure what you're doing cuz it
doesn't hold your hand in this is what you need to do and play it is very much you decide you can do whatever you want but I don't have a goal so yeah you can do whatever you want but there's actually not much you can do cuz you're only a semi sentient animal and you're in a very a very small terrain cuz I've got it sitting I was even saw it today I was trying to decide what to play and it was sitting there in my install list and I'm no not even I told you not to buy it I know I told you not to buy it I tested it out I gave you the review don't bother and then you went out and brought it anyway it really interesting and it is interesting it sounds it sounds interesting as well it's just not you know what though I I think they went a little too retro with
it it's like cuz it's set like 2 million years ago right where like the these early that is very retro yeah that is as about as retro as it can [ __ ] get no but like you're essentially a chimp they say that you're a human ancestor but just looking at this thing I'm like that's a chip you know like if I was a neanderthal or or something or even like a homo hyle bensis something that looked more human if I could fashion an axe yeah you know what I mean like I I probably feel a little bit more of a connection with maybe you got to evolve a little bit first I don't think it I don't think it goes that far yeah but you do have to be careful cuz you it all comes down to you also breeding as well cuz you have to unlock skills then you breed and then
you pass on jeans and unlock breeding achievement breeding yeah I will get around to giving another try mhm well you let me know if you're if you're new try is as successful as mine you I started playing something again this week cuz I'm I I started playing the the first sorry not the first that that would be inaccurate the um XCOM Enemy Unknown be very clear about which game it is cuz the first one is the one from the 80s but yeah that's right and the reason for that is because the new that new XCOM game came out I forgotten the name of it already uh and there was a big sale on so I got that and I got XCOM 2 and I was like well I got to finish the first one I never finished it cuz I'm an idiot and
I should I mean really I should just play two but you may not have to finish it cuz there's multiple endings to the first one oh really so you can get an ending and then play two which is not what your how your story finished which yeah all right fine and then has an intro that explains the plot anyway so maybe I should just start with two play what you want to play thanks man I'm actually going to I'm going to play something a bit like it I'm going to play the new gears game oh tactics gears tactics yeah it's pretty much XCOM so yeah right well the reason I wanted to play it was good timing cuz you know I discovered playing Divinity that I prefer turn-based combat and that's basically what these games are is
turn-based combat so I did I did like those new Exon games a lot better than the originals yeah cuz the originals why they were great games sometimes you couldn't really progress very part cuz if you said all your guys out in the ship and then one guy went crazy in the middle of them started killing all your own guys you g was over man I I love that back in the day though like origal back in high school yeah yeah remember Dan we got invited to the the launch of this the new series of XCOM in Sydney that was [ __ ] great that's we got given copies yeah wait you were there as well Luke right I was the one who organized it it was a mulle nerdgasm event no no no I couldn't remember if all four of us went or not yeah it was all four of us I've the photos sorry
didn't me let's put let's put that photo back up on our um social media if we if we can if it's I was just thinking cuz you were in camera that you wouldn't you didn't come but yeah no you're right you're in the photo so you must have been there or you photoshopped yourself in I don't know had a Photoshop L that's a pretty good cover story now that was [ __ ] great cuz they had us meet at they told us to go to some bar in the Sydney and then some bus came and took us to a secret location that's right that's [ __ ] awesome and I got very drunk and then they yeah gave us free drinks and we played XCOM that was a really good night yeah thanks to who the [ __ ] was a publisher for that 2K yeah thanks 2K that was [ __ ]
awesome sorry Luke you did organize it yeah yeah I organized I got us tickets and then you you should forget I was even there no look all all I could remember for sure was that Dan and I went right so because we lived together and we literally exactly I'm like I can't get that wrong right so but then as soon as you said the photo I was like of course they were all in the [ __ ] photos so remember when uh because we we met up in like s Hills or somewhere like that first and we were we were drinking I think we were quite drunk by the time we well they told us to go to a bar what are we supposed to do yeah that's right they said me at a bar all right what am I going to do drink water but I remember four of us were sitting there and this woman came
up and were like oh hey guys you what are you guys doing tonight and we're like oh we're going to this thing and like we were going to you know just have a good old chat with her Dave was like thank you goodbye and she's like and he's like goodbye and she's like okay and walks off and we're like what the [ __ ] dude he was like that was a prostitute we're like no it wasn't he's like yeah yeah she want money wink yeah he probably knew he seems very sure didn't just your usual Dave h anyway great games XCOM like them like them a lot looking forward to trying out the new one you mean the one that came out a couple of years ago no no the one
yeah yeah the new one which is skipping consoles oh is it yeah why you care about it yep yeah right which sucks cuz I actually quite like those games and I was looking forward to playing it again that's right I've got my gears tactics I'll play we've got some um interesting uh I guess Co 19's uh you know it's going to be interesting to see how the world changes after all this quarantine and social isolation and whatnot we've got some interesting stuff going on in particular with the with the theaters the movie theaters cuz they're talking about starting to open some of these up again which is I don't know how smart that is but we'll see uh they're going to have to change the way they do business though for for for the
foreseeable future which is going to be [ __ ] weird not going to be a to have you're not going to be a to have a a soldout theater no they're have to pull well they have to pull out seats I guess uh how's that how are they going to do this like I have no [ __ ] idea how to do all this cuz yeah what we've leared as everyone in the world has learned we can't be trusted with the honor System to do that people are [ __ ] stupid so while while it could just be like everyone can go if you're in a couple you can sit together but everyone has to have like a seat between them yeah well no it's got to be more than a seat right cuz they squished those [ __ ] seats in there it's going to have to be a few seats isn't it six two seats two seats well it depends which country you're in
what uh what distance is it in a some countries it's a meters well well Australia does have the shortest one I think we're 1.5 M oh okay okay right whereas I know America's 2 M 6 feet they keep saying I don't I mean I don't even yeah 6 no one knows no one knows what a foot is I know the Florida have signs saying um you must stay at least one alligator length apart no I didn't know that actually that's funny yeah I've seen those yeah that's funny yeah cuz they were talking here about um they don't know they're thinking about starting to reopen things about you know next week May 9th I think was when they to and they were talking about the governor was saying you know if you're a business start thinking about how you're going to change your
whole [ __ ] business to allow for the fact that people can't be near each other and I was likee Jesus like that's right if you may not be able to go back to normal in air quotes for yeah quite sometime like if you own a restaurant the [ __ ] does that mean for you yeah like it means you're basically you're going to be having to Harve the number of tables you have and you but not only that you've got to have people there with [ __ ] sticks keeping people away from each other like in you know in theory cuz how how much liability is a restaurant going to for these things do you guys have lines on the floor everywhere now where you have to stand yeah and the amount of people who don't pay attention to them drives me insane yeah I saw a dude wandering around the
other day no masks no nothing just like whatever what the actual [ __ ] like the mask isn't for you mate yeah like it's for everybody else so don't be a [ __ ] withit and the way I I think best way to think about it this uh is don't think of it that you're worried about getting it think about try and act like you you have it and you don't want to give it to anyone else that's the best way to handle it there are people who think it's still not real which is baffling to me like why people think that everyone got together and it's a big conspiracy I don't know what people get from shutting down the country and destroying the economy I mean Jeff Bezos is [ __ ] laughing
about this all I guess but you know cuz Amazon's presumably doing Gang Busters but M I've done so much [ __ ] online shopping since this thing started right well that's what one of the things they said was trying to support local businesses who are online but it's like I I can't find them like if I need I'm trying I've been trying to like if I need something I'm like I'll check see if you go online it's Amazon it's just all the big ones there's no like I found a local like hand wash company like down in Newport and I was like well I'll order some stuff from then them so I did but then some other stuff it's just like I don't know how do I don't know how to find you know I need uh what did I order
like oh like I ordered uh chairs right so I got like where do I get chairs from locally they're all shut down there's no furniture stores open [ __ ] what kind of week has Matt had Luke when he he just I told you I was going to spend theh well hand wash chairs a chainsaw um that leaf blower that is I got the leaf blower by the way it's [ __ ] awesome oh yeah yeah is it fun it's it fun to strap that thing on yeah yeah strap it on my back [ __ ] blast the [ __ ] out of those and also you don't you don't have a super close neighbor so you're not going to be annoying them with it anyway so you're not going to have that guilty feeling yeah he's not close with them he [ __ ] hates them that reminds me the time Luke and I
went to a $2 shop to buy props for uh for uh Christmas Massacre the short film we almost made yeah yeah listeners can see photos of well what might have been that on on our Facebook I I think it's still up on the Facebook let let's then once you back in Australia I'm going to come up to Sydney once a month and we're filming stuff mat you can come too [ __ ] you [ __ ] you guys I've got everything now Luke I have gone nuts in this quarantine I've I've decked my camera I've got microphones lights [ __ ] everything we're ready we can go moment notice but now we don't have the actors yeah that's you and me we need to find
others mhm mhm I still say at some point in the future we do a two we trip to Matt's house and we film something in the woods let's do it let's do it I'm all for it we put in every idea we've ever had for a movie into this one yeah monsters aliens and slapstick comedy I pitched you on this years and years ago yeah that's right it's the film we were born to make so speak speaking of film and and the the theaters there's been some drama uh around the way that studios are releasing films now cuz they got to get these film in front of people but no one's going to the theater so I guess Universal out of all [ __ ] films that could start this kind of [ __ ] trolls World Tour is the is the problem film is
that right yeah apparently whatever the f is yeah I don't think that was actually I think it's the future ones that are going to be the problem this is one that they just trolls world to they've already done yeah they released it on streaming Platforms in in lie of the cuz there aren't any theaters at the there AR any in other words a brand new film scheduled for theatrical release has gone straight to VOD and now what there Universal want to do cuz that actually works so well for them they want to start doing that more cuz that's what we ever been asking them to do for [ __ ] years just let us watch the [ __ ] movie at home I don't want to go hang out with a bunch of other weirdos yeah cuz I hate going to the movies cuz the people mhm I like
going later on after the movie's been out for a little while when you basically get a cinema to yourself but also the sooner this is on VOD the sooner it'll be on the torrent sites the only reason to release movies in theaters first is just so that theaters don't go out of business it's stupid like I get it but also people don't want it anymore yeah that's the thing this is just supply and demand right if Market pressure is saying I don't want to have to go to a big building and sit in a [ __ ] cramped seat to watch this I'll give you the same amount of money just let me watch it at home I I get it I get you know if you're a massive Corporation that's suddenly like oh wait a minute we're [ __ ] no one wants us anymore and
we're going to go out of business like I sure I bet that sucks but that's it's inevitable right this is this is the future but this isn't even the first time that Cinemas have been threatened Cinema I mean it's it's a [ __ ] miracle Cinemas are even still in existence now because Cinemas in the early days of film used to be owned by the studios and then they had laws come in that say no no that's a monopoly you can't produce a film and distribut a film so you know it was all up in the air then and all these other companies came in and then of course television came in and everyone was like [ __ ] I'll just watch [ __ ] at home or I'll wait one year and then home video you know well see I think this this is going to be interesting because in the past you know
like the AMC and Regal theaters are now saying well we're not going to screen any Universal Pictures movies anymore if they see how long that last yeah I think in the past that might have been like oh gez all right that might be a problem I'm not sure that is going to matter to them at all mind you that said Universal aren't what they used to be well true true I mean there're still a major player but I I I think if uh Disney said we're going to go straight to VOD do you think the theaters would be like nah well [ __ ] you we're not screening any Disney movies anymore they are right pretty much well that's but like that's it like we're at the Tipping Point I think right yeah yeah exactly but it's Tipping Point is right it's either it's cuz it's all going to collapse either
suddenly there are no Cinemas or there will be and there is no VOD for a year or whatever it is now yeah I saw an interesting article actually I don't know why I didn't put this in here about [ __ ] you know tenants coming out the new Christopher Nolan film and the article was basically saying that it's still coming out in July apparently and that's because Christopher Nolan is like no it's coming out in theaters in July for some reason well you know accent because he's like so old school because he's like I mean he still shoots on film he doesn't shoot on video and he will not allow a film he made to come out VOD but there's no theat is open what is he I mean I don't know it seems like no I think it's just people are still stuck in the past but
they they just need to accept you have to move forward that's not the way things are anymore and I think movies he's just an artist I guess yeah yeah but also I think one of the stupid things that's still happening with movies is how much they still spend on Advertising well that I mean that's how you get it how you get people to watch it right you got a drama po this interest in it the marketing budget is more often than the yeah the actual budget of making the film but no I think it'll be good if we could sort of get a shift away from movies more to television and start bringing the cost of how much people make from them cuz I think it's right getting a bit insane with how much like stars make for a
movie compared to how much stars make for a television show it is a bit silly isn't it because a television show which takes longer more people involved will get considerably less than a movie so I've never understood that but I think there the reason the reason I mean it's cuz it is cuz it has been kind of is part of it but also I mean having an actor in a film is marketing in a way like having Johnny Depp in your film we means well there's a group of people who will see this film now so that's guaranteed they they don't care what it's about it's just got him in it I'm going yeah so it's almost like Mark and it's almost like well I don't know if Johnny Depp's a good example these days
but it's like a like a almost like a implied quality in a way it's weird like you're saying he may not be a good example these days it's weird how it's strange how quickly that can change that you go from having this person in the movie will get it marketed everyone's going to love it to the next thing they put out with no one will go say it because they're over him right well actually a good example these days right it might be you got a movie right and it's it's it's good script it could be a pretty good movie but then you get Chris Hemsworth in it and now it's a Chris Hemsworth movie so you've just gone [ __ ] up five levels cuz he's he's the draw like that [ __ ] Extraction movie he's in on Netflix the biggest premere on Netflix which grain of salt cuz you
know quarantine and all that but still but yeah it's what what used to happen remember like it wasn't a Die Hard 2 movie just a script they had but then they went this movie went well we die hard on this get I think both of them both it wasn't Die Hard 2 it was Die Hard three Die Hard with a Vengeance three oh right I knew it was one of them that existing scpt and they were like what can what can we change the names on actually I want to watch that again that's a good movie Die Hard with vengeance just the Die Hard movies I hav seen the I've only seen the first three there is don't don't watch the stop at the third one in fact skip the second one if you if you want Oh speaking of Die Hard although
not really Matt I just saw the episode of Always Sunny in Philadelphia where they recreate Lethal Weapon and I legitimately don't know a why they thought they could get away with it and B how they did get away with it I know so funny I mean l you'd love it it's just all blackface cuz they not not not just one person they alternate between who yeah who plays uh not M Denny glov character I've seen it oh you've seen that always you seen OD episodes of it right no Luke Googles blackace just he wants to see everything I've seen it it's in my it's in my collection he's seen Justin Trudeau he's seen Z pit and he's seen Always Sunny well keep watching Dan cuz
