only one human Captain has ever survived battle with the mimari fleet he is behind me you are in front of me if you value your lives be somewhere else welcome to multiple nerdgasm with your hosts Matt it's all a bit hearty so I don't really understand it Luke is that a little sashwat penis damn I accidentally got soap in my urethra multiple nerdgasm your guide do all things nerdy now I know that quote probably means nothing to you guys I'm off that's terrifying I'm out of here I mean I can see who's behind you that guy with to me and some of our listeners uh we know exactly what that's from that's
a line from Babylon 5 oh you love that show and I do know we have a listener who also loves that show at least one probably more than one but yeah at least more you do babelon um sorry well the reason why I start off with that is we have a geek at a week from that show well I mean we've got two Geeks of the week Domin I think yeah but I love how Luke because he's kind of the custodian of geek of the week he can just decide ahead of time that that his nomination is hell with procedure Yep this one is always going wi so okay well um mirror fur furland furland I don't know she's just Ambassador D land to me Edward Edward furland long no it's one of these weird things a lot of people there sort of a bit of a a
curse with some of the actors on babyon 5 a lot of them have died sort of young all died well okay well young I think she was 60 or 65 65 that that's sort of young these days yeah I'd like I'd like to clock past 65 I mean if it was the Middle Ages people would be like oh God she's so old yeah well my goal is to make it the 60 and they'd be like what Babylon 5 but no there's been quite a few that um have died over the years like around 60 even one of them uh Richard bigs who played Dr Franklin he died 40 wow was Babylon 5 shot like on some old like former Soviet like nuclear checked checked the set for asbest recently maybe but yeah so the quote so mirror's gone um I'm saying that she's
geek at a week that's I mean it is your decision y uh I dare say the other candidate is more wellknown well from this you may actually know this actress from Lost she was in lost as well oh okay oh I do know her from Lost I mean I I recognize that face I know nothing about lost I just know I was one of the people on the other side of the island I'm looking at a photo and I definitely recognize her from Lost I'm that biggest as soon as no she's The Loner that that woman that they find wanding around yeah okay oh it's been a while since I watched last but yeah I recognize her all right yeah but yeah like once hand tattoos become more acceptable I'm going to get a
Babylon 5 hand tattoo I thought you going to say you're going to get a miror furland tattoo on your hand so that when jerk off it's like she's jerk in fact you're getting her hand tattooed onto your hand a lawyer in [ __ ] Always Sunny with his small hands okay I want to get like the Babylon 5 communicators where there were these things that they had on their hand that they sort of hit the button I want to get one of them tattooed on my hand oh okay I think hand tattoos are fairly acceptable at this point aren't they yeah not not not really there's still this so long as when you put your fist together it doesn't say [ __ ] the police I think you probably be okay no sort of
I think a lot of places are still a bit hesitant on neck face and hand I know what you mean still B taboo though I've got plans plans for my fingers too but I I'm oh sorry guys yeah oh you'll find out Matt you will find out also Luke does live in Cambo which is probably more uh more cons everything's legal in CA Oh that's true it's just one of those things that people still see tattoos as like in Japan youve got tattoo you're automatically a gangster pretty much yeah some people still look down and people get that face and neck but that's changing I think Australia is probably one of the most tattooed nations in the world though yeah I I mean I guess it
depends on what kind of jobs you're going for IND doesn't matter no and once you get into the job then you can just get tatted up and go for it what I going to do fire you yeah I guess they I guess they could fire you they literally could there's no yeah I mean if there's you know if there's a grooming clause in your contract as they're I think I think rhod Island's an at will state so I mean I could be fired just cuz my boss feels like it I think oh God I'm not I mean I'm not I don't think they would but they as far as I know in America you have the right to do whatever you want at any that's right if anyone tries to remove any of those rights in exchange for say privileges which is the opposite of I
think in return I could just say you know what I'm not going to work anymore and I no longer work there I don't have to I mean not that I wouldn't do that either but I think I think I could but you could also say he was on my property and he looked delicious and so that's why I shot him sorry I meant to say dangerous yeah delicious and dangerous yeah but he was in hospital with Co earlier so yeah they they think it's at least somewhat related that's the funny thing it's not funny I shouldn't say funny oh hilar um the thing with Co is you don't die of Co you die of something that you know Co [ __ ] makes worse or causes well that's sort of the same with AIDS yeah yeah it's not the AIDS to get it's normally like pneumonia or something
like right cuz your body doesn't you know what I thought was interesting you know we we kind of reported one or two years ago in this podcast when we started noticing that the media was had stopped using the phrase commit suicide and they started saying d by Suicide instead just to kind of remove a little bit of the I it's taken one step a crime yeah or because it used to be a crime and that's where that phrase comes from right right sure yeah and now it's it's it's also taking a bit of the onus off the person uh yes but I I it's even more removed now I read an article yesterday that said somebody um died after losing a years long battle with depression didn't even use the word suicide in the article yep okay I mean yeah it's one of those things
because yeah they used to it used to have a very negative I mean it still does obviously but it's less like people are less I think people more inclined to to be understanding about it now than they used to be I guess it's probably well certainly certainly be understanding that there's probably a reason on just like what were they so sad about yeah it's it's it still means that you're not going to get geeked a week though true yeah just turn that FR upside down problem and you will be buried face down that's right and only in certain at a Crossroads with your heart removed just in case yeah don't want to risk it vampire di know what happens next but yeah but we don't want to take any chances that's right all right so I
think Larry Larry King um look I am going to say yes he can dual geek of the [Music] week do you reckon they happened in the past has Mera ferland and Larry King ever done the nasty or interviewed each other I didn't pause I yeah no I wasn't trying to wasn't trying to imply that they [ __ ] interviewed yeah She interviewed him once strangely enough yeah while he was interviewing her it was a disaster [Music] um I don't know who knows anyone anywhere it's possible I doubt it you think she was famous enough look was she American or was she Canadian because if anyone's in a lot of Science Fiction I assume they're Canadian because yeah most sci-fi TVs shot in Vancouver she
had a very um interesting accent so I'm not quite sure oh okay um mirror I don't think she was American she's cro oh there you go exotic Matt's into the crows all right you no no no no no D I'm not going to King Shame you man [ __ ] go to cow and knock yourself not not yet not yet it's not Trel I'm definitely a Serbian kind of guyh yeah oh don't you don't you just like the good old days of [ __ ] Yugoslavia you know well they're all just the same they're all just yugoslavs yeah thanks World War I so what's everyone been up to anyone been playing any games I've been I've not been doing anything except uh vacuuming and and painting and cleaning

absolutely yeah but like I I was saying before I learned uh I learned that you have to put your trash in inside the little shed uh because if you leave the the bins outside the Bears will come and help themselves don't want that and uh apparently once once they know that that's a place they can get food out of a bin they hang around I'm going to put this to you cuz you're not going to be going there like every week or all the time yeah I see it's not my problem I see exactly where you go you throw your stuff out there the come you soon for a day or two some photos take some photos you could even orchestrate this anyone you don't like You' be like mate take a weekend away I'm going to give you the keys to my my shadow and uh in the snow in the yeah my winter
Paradise um just leave a hand on the back porch it's the thing we do yeah exactly yeah vont a wonderful place there's maple syrup and there's and there's apple cider donuts and one of the wonderful things about vont is you can just throw your trash bags out the door into the snow with no repercussions they just don't give a [ __ ] up there so go nuts go nuts yeah rub honey on your body as well before you go to sleep and just roll around in the driveway yeah um so I'm going to stop you there and just I'm just going to back up to apple cider what Donuts what yeah is that did I hear correctly cuz that sounds [ __ ] delicious they are [ __ ] delicious it's yeah so the cider mills everywhere up there which is delicious enough but then they do yeah apple cider donuts
it's like uh I guess I'm not sure exactly what makes them Apple cidery but they do taste you know like they got flavoring on them will they get me buzzed yeah how many do I have to eat to this is you know what [ __ ] it Luke 2023 we are going to get apple cider is not necessarily alcoholic oh like I've got some in my fridge right now which is not I don't understand the point of that it's like uh you're talking about apple juice that what you're thinking of no no I know I know what you're thinking but it's no it's it's like slightly more delicious than Apple Juice okay so and then you can heat it up and put um spices in it like cinnamon and and clothes and stuff like that and it's [ __ ] delicious yeah I put some vodka in there while you're doing it you could do that too
well you put rum in there in in when you go to Salem at Halloween that's what you do see now we're talking now I'm intrigued that cider oh I did watch a TV show uh oh what did you watch I watched uh I don't know Luke proba not going to interest you this show it's uh the kns talker mhm yeah OHS King AR's Round Table yeah oh sorry I'm I'm mispronouncing that it's the nightstalker it's the new Netflix limited series about uh Richie Ramirez Richard Ramirez the nice talker guy the yeah the the absolutely horrible human being who raped and murdered a bunch of men women and children in the uh in the ' 80s she didn't murder any children I gu guess I should clarify I don't want to you know I don't want to smear him or anything he didn't murder children let's
be clear he just raped them yeah yeah so uh it was very interesting though if you yeah sounds like your kind of show I'll watch it it's on my list I've I've put it in in the list it's yeah interviews with the two detectives who who were you know trying to catch him for I think it took him half a year to catch him they do have uh they yeah they interview bunch of a number of the survivors and uh and other people involved it's interesting I mean he was he was horrible horrible human being like like not no redeeming quality you know like I mean Ted Bundy was also a horrible human being but then you get to watch him defend him you get to Def watch him defend himself in court and you're like well at least we got that out of it whereas with Ramirez it's just like no
redeeming qualities at all mhm well I was watching something that's a bit more light oh yeah I don't know what you mean watching a laugh right I've been watching I've been watching One Division watching One Division as well I so there's three episodes out so far I have no idea what is happening but I am enjoying it yeah and after the first episode I was like that was great but are they going to be able to sustain this the answer is yes yes um even from the latest one I think it's it's so over the top and camp and so sort of setting those TV shows I think they're having fun doing it mhh the trailer certainly looked like fun yeah but of course you know there's there's something sinister going on
underneath and I I know there's going to be a lot of stuff that I've missed cuz I'm not really up on my one division Marvel characters oh yeah qu knows more about it than me and she's pointing [ __ ] out that I'm not seeing as well yeah but I really think if this one would be a good series to rewatch after you understand everything that's happening so you can go back and pick up the little subtle clues that are happening throughout yeah right there's going to be a lot ising funny in this yeah right he is so funny any any skeletons in your closet Vision I don't have a skeleton like it's just [ __ ] hilarious like this is actually they now Disney finally worked out how me keep me subscribed to Disney plus put content on
there watch yeah good stuff I want to watch on there cuz now this finishes this goes for like 10 episodes and then about a month after that Loki comes out as well right oh I see so they're like trickle releasing things that makes sense and I still I'm I'm liking this it's like not the full series in one go that it's a week apart yeah I'm really liking are they doing them one a week because actually I I watched them all yesterday so I for all I know they just put up three at once they did two on the first week yeah and then one it's going to be one a week going forward so I think what we'll do we'll end up watching we'll probably watch the three of them this week and then do the Saturday morning thing again cuz that was fun with the Mandalorian MH I gives
you something to look forward to each week and I still think you pay more attention man I've watched the sorry uh back just on mandal real quick and then I guess technically slight spoiler but [ __ ] it whatever it's been been long enough watching that [ __ ] bit from the last episode of the Mandalorian I've just I I think about it and I'm like that's pop it on my iPad and I've just I've just watched that bit of it just the the it's an X-Wing just from there yeah what's a single X-Wing going to do yeah shut up you conservative [ __ ] hey hey a single X-Wing destroyed the first Death Star yeah so I I I don't know where they're going to go with season 3 though yeah I think they're going to have to go back to kind of the the roots of it which was
just him like hopefully more stuff like you know first episode of it where he was on that ice Planet doing bounty hunting stuff maybe hope back that Fu that him Timmy ol Fant buddy com oh yeah that would be great c yeah I just don't think they could do a whole it was really the baby Yoda show let's be honest somebody else can't kidnap grou you no someone did a uh or is my prediction snoke someone did a fan art of grou as like a like an adolescent with two lightsabers and I was like no I don't want that and if grou ever does a back flip I'm turning it off forever although oh that sorry follow up I I literally speaking of that I I've stopped watching the Clone Wars because the first episode was basically the Yoda doing backflip show yeah forget it not
why they're good I think I might press on but we'll see cuz I I know that it gets better or not better the stuff that I'm kind of interested in seeing that I know happens a few seasons in so maybe I'll give it another shot but just that episode was just like that's not what you're there for Yoda doesn't even I know what you mean I want more Star Wars content too but not that uh do not need to have a lightsaber at all no yeah in fact the whole thing about him is that he doesn't need to be the warrior ex that was the point of his very well-written character we say that but I mean this is George Lucas doing this to us so to us but remember he didn't really he didn't really he didn't
write yod off did I send you that video write Empire of I know it's just I know it's not real it's a joke but that video of the behind the scenes of Robot Chicken where he kicks that guy out of the meeting they send you that [ __ ] couldn't stop watching it he starts slapping him on the way out the door I didn't know George was that funny for some reason George goes in for the Robot Chicken yeah it must must be his humor but I don't know I think George has become more fun now I don't like he's and he's back to being involved with Star Wars a lot more than he was that I got say that Robot Chicken where the you know where the guy gets his arm cut off in the Cana and then he loses his job cuz he can't work cuz he's only
got one arm and he becomes an alcoholic and his family leaves him that was funny mhmh I I needed a Star Wars fix this week and um I was looking for something to play on the Xbox as well I didn't I decided I'm not going to play I'm not going to play cyber Punk just yet okay because Matt I don't want to happen with cyber Punk to me what happened to you with BioShock Infinite which is you play it quickly because you want to catch up you want to talk about it with us I don't want that to happen I want to take my time with that I want to get to a place where no one's talking about it and then I'll play it mhm so wait about a year yeah I decided to play a game no one's talking about anymore uh Star Wars Jedi fall in order which is a game that I thought I'd given a go and
then realized I barely got past the tutorial such a great game it's excellent I'm really enjoying it I got through there's like the first temple I guess where you solving puzzle and stuff and I did enjoy that did you do did you take Luke's advice and bump down the difficulty to get past all that Dark Souls type [ __ ] yeah okay may maybe I need to do that too then and and it actually it's it's still a challenging game even on easy I must say um especially because it's it's kind of got that old school gaming Vibe where you don't know whether you can't jump onto something because you don't have an ability that you can later get or whether you'll just [ __ ] at jumping up just not good enough yeah yeah so there is a there is a bit of tedious trial and
error at some of the levels but I'm enjoying it it's that that was the worst thing they did about that game tried to make it sort of a bit Dark Souls where you have to sort of you die and level up that was the one thing I think they made a mistake on but dropping it down to that story does make it a good game yeah I'm really enjoying and it's not like sh it's not like silly easy or anything like that it's not like you're invincible and no one will ever hurt you you you still die you it's still no I constantly die I constantly die um but uh that first temple I don't I don't know I don't know if the game's going to change after this tonally speaking but that first temple was like I was a Star Wars character but in Prometheus you know like this big
beautiful old ancient statues and alien technology and it felt like the Dig oh yeah pretty sure I'm even further than that now that I remember I remember I actually went to another planet I think maybe I should get back into that game yeah I'm on other planets now and you know I'm building a lightsaber but it's funny like it's like oh you've unlocked orange and it's like yeah but that isn't one so I'm not going to use that I'm going to use blue or green because they're the [ __ ] colors Luke used yeah yeah Matt you should give that another try all right all right you yeah but that's why I I wanted something that was a little bit more on Rails like something that that I could just play and this is that and also it's
Star Wars I'm considering should I finish cyberp Punk because I've got I don't want to spoil anything um but I've got you know we've talked about how I've got the point of no return waiting to go yeah in my game but there's also some side quests that I think I'm I'm I am going to have to finish before I do that just otherwise it' be weird but then other than that there's like War or two that I'm going to finish first but other than that I'm like maybe I should just finish this and then CU otherwise I could I I could literally never finish it because I don't I know I know Luke's already torn through and done everything but I'm not sure that I ever will so I might have to leave some stuff un uncompleted you know but so you can't go back once you finished the story I think
you can but I don't and I don't want any spoilers I think I might just have to bite the bullet and see whether like I I don't know I don't want to spoil anything so it's hard to hard to talk about yeah and and I don't want to spoil anything either but look you there are some missions like the the story stuff yeah yeah yeah go and do them it's not like there's hundreds of them either yeah that way you're actually dealing with characters so i' still recommend going through and doing those but the the crimes and the gang activity stuff that stuff you can skip that's really there for a cheap the stuff from all the fixes and that yeah okay but the the stuff from the characters you actually interact with I would recommend doing yeah man I really love the delain
missions they were really cool yeah that was oh God that was a good game I know I'm so disappointed that everyone's so pissed off but oh I saw an article this week apparently people are getting refunds and then they're actually not even requiring that they return the game and so people are still playing and getting refunds don't do that [ __ ] wits well no I think people weren't aiming to do that I think they just got a shock when they still had the game I know and I think it's don't do that on Pur cuz I thought about get refund you can't play the game anymore like I know I even if it's like if you don't like the game why would you want to keep playing it yeah I yeah you're right I know I know it's more complicated than that it just bugs me that it's like you can't have a
refund and keep the game and I know I only care because I like the game and I like city project red but still I had finished the game and I Pro so I could have maybe have gone hey like give me a refund I would have got it but then I still want CD project red to make more games in the future yes what I think's happening with some of the the ones that people are getting refunds but they're not losing access the game I think it's the digital downloads with some so you go through like a third party site yeah they give you the refund but then it's not filtering back to that code yeah yeah that makes sense so yeah but yeah I know one one guy got like the big limited edition thing and then got the refund and then they didn't ask for
the stuff back don't do that people but I mean I get it I know why but I just I understand but don't take advantage of the fact that they're being nice about it yeah this is why people are dicks cuz people abuse abuse situations when people are nice not me they got my money and they can keep it and then just unfortunately it does mean that I'm going have to wait for any DLC that I I want until next year I know and then the next gen upate The Next Gen update is gonna be the end of this year which is a shame well that's why I'm like not so fussed about whether I need to finish it now or not cuz my goal my originally my plan was like I'll I'll play through it
and then I'll do a replay a really in-depth replay after that when the next gen update comes out but then it's going to be a while now so yeah but speaking of Next Gen update it looks great as is oh I know it does it's F it's a beautiful game but speaking of next gen updates Fallen order has one Dan you're playing it on your series X pres I assume uh have you noticed that it looks good I honestly didn't play enough of it last time to know the difference but it does look pretty good I mean okay the how old is this game how it's a couple of years old how how old is it 2017 no 2019 I think 19 19 yeah yeah I think one of the things that put me off the first time and I've just decided to not let it bother me anymore the human fa
es have the appearance of a much older game like they're just not very good faces and uh they're just a bit odd The Voice act the actors are crying at this point it's the kid from um The Matrix isn't it the boy from The Matrix or am I remembering that completely wrong is it no I don't know think so sorry just to confirm I don't mean they're not handsome there's something in the animation that just makes it feel it's not cutting edge Cameron Monahan so I'm thinking since it's got this new update there are three achievements I still need to get on it it might be worth reinstalling so I can have a look at it a bit nicer but I don't know this the GS I need to get are like collect all
chests and secrets and that map is sort of hard to try and track down some of those chests uh hand looks exactly like this dud so maybe it's not weird animation maybe it just is that I just can't stand looking at Cameron Monahan oh he's in uh avatar the Last end last end Bender that's not the name of the show air bender joker as far as I can tell oh he was in PG porn as young boy oh I loved PG porn that was a great series that's um James gun is it yeah it is yeah I actually went through uh this week and played the Metro games oh I I started trying to play the first one and I and I just dropped off and stopped but it was quite good yeah it was okay I've
played like the two um 2033 and oh what was the other one Metro last something yeah last something or other and then there's Exodus is the third one right yeah Exodus I haven't played that one last Light I know last Light last Light last Light um they're okay I don't see how people went sort crazy and how it got like a third one made it's yeah I mean the story is weird yeah it reminded me a little bit of a not as good stalker you know the stalker Shadow choby game mhm like I've recently bought that on Gog that was a good game that was a game where that [ __ ] punished you not punished you I guess cuz it was quite welld designed but like if you wandered off into an area you weren't supposed to be and you [ __ ] knew about it that
was it yeah yeah but that's it like when you saw that campfire of like your base you were just like everything's going to be all right now yeah thank [ __ ] and then when you went down into like a one of the the kind of haunted irradiated places [ __ ] this game is terrifying MH well that's that's one of the series X Games that's coming out 2021 that I'm really looking forward to is stalker the new stalker yeah mhm damn right stalk her too stalk her as well yeah yeah see that girl stalk her too yeah don't forget about her Luke's getting stressed hey Luke would you like to pay more for Xbox Live um no never that's basically that's
basically what Microsoft did this week this is so weird to me right I this whole story is quite funny like Microsoft announced a price increase for Xbox Live and then people obviously we're like i' prefer not to pay more and Microsoft were like we're really sorry we've done you wrong and we're going to reverse decision like wait what the [ __ ] is that how things work now and also to be clear it it was $1 it was an increase of $1 well well actually no it was effectively doubling the price for a yearly subscription oh okay oh so what happened is remember they got rid of the 12 month subscriptions yeah late last year and everyone went that's a bit weird and so with this price update it's the monthly went up by a dollar the thre month and six-month plan they went up
like by 5 and 10 respectively but with no 12 so it was really so you went from paying $40 for a 6month plan or $60 for a year plan to $40 for 6 months yeah right to $60 for 6 months so it really it did double the price and this is Xbox Live this isn't Game Pass right no I get it it's just it's the situation is just so funny to me because it reminded me not only did they reverse the this they said oh well and sorry their blog post was just so contrite it was like we messed up today and you were right to let us know connecting and playing with friends is a vital part of gaming and we failed to meet the expectations of players who count on it every day as a result we've decided not to change the
Xbox Live Gold pricing but things go up in price all the time and you can't just go no I prefer not to thanks McDonald's I don't want to pay an extra 50 cents for my Big Mac and then they go sorry here's some free fries as a apology for attempting to follow you know in and then they actually went they went further and made another change so free-to-play games like fortnite and stuff even though they're freet to play to play them you needed an Xbox Live Gold subscription they've gone not for free to playay games you don't need that subscription anymore right so they yeah went that one step further I don't know just I I mean it's nice and it it's good of them it just seems odd that they can't put the price up like obviously people are going to say they didn't want
to pay more what did they think was going to happen thank you Microsoft I'd love to give you more money I think all I trying to do is sort of to try and make the uh ex The Game Pass subscription look better value yeah to get more people to go over to that but imagine if your if your landlord comes I mean we don't we don't have landlords anymore but when we did if they came out said we're putting the rent up and we said we prefer you didn't put the rent up and the landlord was right you're right and also I'll pay the power bill from now on too I'm really sorry yeah but imagine you were a landlord right and you were like okay I need a little bit of a cost of living increase so I'm just going to put up the rent uh of my tenants bu a dollar dollar a month yeah
y uh and then every single person on the internet bullied you like [ __ ] you yeah kill yourself and then uh and then yeah like fine I don't know I get it and it was not because I mean Microsoft doesn't need the money obviously but it just the the situation it does if it still wants to be a growing business yeah true I mean things go up in price that's they're not a charity they don't owe us [ __ ] Xbox Live no I know well I mean and to me it has been one of these things that the price hasn't changed in how many years yeah that's true well neither is the minimum wage in America so well that may be changing political oh you got you really think you really think Biden's going to make
some big changes do you looking at doubling minimum wage I just said the minimum wage hasn't got that's all I said because I learned about it the other day hey man if you guys had voted in Bernie you wouldn't even need money okay capitalism that' be gone day one capitalism gone can we stop with the Bernie memes Jesus quick you know who's keeping that alive you know who's really doubling down on that Mark Hamill God yes Mark Hamill is going nuts with the Bernie memes he just looks like an old man who is cold like leave him alone someone's got that tattooed on themselves oh God which I just why people are going to be like what's that tattoo oh remember that one week where this was a famous picture no I don't
even think it's a week I think it's already over and it's been three days 24hour news cycle it does make me laugh that that's the that's the [ __ ] thing we're talking about from the inauguration like this this things have gone back to normal so quickly that no one cares about the president anymore we're just laughing really go it did yeah move on very quickly I was expecting stuff to happen no one cares about what Biden's saying no cuz he's not saying anything the pr he's not a about people being mean to him once yeah that's right I mean this is the guy that worked for Obama and Obama is quoted as saying lovely guy I wouldn't vote for him to be president though I bet he did they could have put a chicken up then he did vote for him
yeah MH MH but just jumping back to that price hike I this is something I think game prices I think in general should actually start to increase as well [ __ ] you I pa $100 for C you paid you paid $100 but I'm see a mega drive game that came out day one was $100 n man I used to pay 60 bucks for an Amiga game I think but you're that was 30 plus years ago I think you're both in a way games are very expensive but also they're getting more and more expensive to make so I can understand where Luke's coming from too it's like that industry is probably going to implode the same way film is probably about to
implode uh yeah at some point it's going to have to be like we can't just keep spending moreone [ __ ] yeah yeah yeah I think with those big triaa titles that do take so many years that yeah they probably they should be c not I'm not saying every game should be $10 more but it's always G exactly if you like artsy stuff it's all getting a bit syy those games all the all those artsy indie games are the same yeah speaking of artsy I'm I'm really really thinking about watching Twin Peaks again all the way through with the new stuff I mean you've you've watched it a lot man so so like the the original and then at the J the other day I'm like I really feel like watching Twin Peaks again she's
like we just did that when we before the Revival we watched it all again I'm like yeah I know but it's it's two years ago he's in there again he gets in there Mr I watched the pilot again recently just CA and I was like what a great pilot but honestly it didn't make me want to watch a whole two seasons and a couple of movies and then another season yeah well I did watch something this week though in fact I started it and I'm only halfway through the first of two seasons have you guys seen the boys I've seen a lot of ads for it and I know the internet got upset of how it was releasing oh really well I don't heard and I from what I know about it and the people who like it I'm like I'm skeptical of whether I'm going to like it I like it okay so I don't know where
I'm one of those people that you're skeptical of but let's not discuss let's just not discuss that I my understanding of this was that it was a subversive superhero I thought it was just superheroes being [ __ ] and then I've seen people being like hey yeah look how good those look at them being pricks I love it and I was like I really about that Matt that's exactly what it is and it's really entertaining okay all right it's I don't know why I thought I wasn't going to like this it it's basically like if the Avengers was a corporation and how that would actually be but with a lot of violence and more Gore than you see in just about anything other than oh really the Evil Dead yeah right
show yeah it's from what I've seen of it I wouldn't think Gore would come into it how Gore's in this show that's so weird it's about climate change is it yeah yeah talking about how he invented the internet I'm super serial I'm a man bear pig anyway okay so the boys is good so so the boys should would I like it yes I think it's possibly something all three of us could get something out of okay okay interesting I will watch at least the first episode for next week what what are you going to play while you watch it I don't know might Yakuza yaku 3 that sounds like it's got a story just jerk off with your mirror foland tattooed hand oh yeah keep keep her with her hand J off
with her hand on your hand no judgment all right that's on Prime yeah Prime uh Prime yep oh speaking of prime I have been watching something although it's we to week so I forgot I've been watching the expanse season 5 it's [ __ ] great highly recommended love that show goes I'm thinking of watching the expanse and I was like oh okay okay and she's like is it like Star Trek and I'm like no it's more like Battle Star Galactica and she's like oh that's even worse I'm not going to watch it yeah every time I watch it now I'm really mindful of like when it's like the politicians talking and I'm like I'm glad kind of glad Jenna's not watching
this with me yeah would not be enjoying this yeah that's one of those shows that I started watching really like then stop yeah no I need to get back into that i' I've watched season one and two and then for some reason stopped watching yeah yeah same same really want to get back into it cuz I was enjoying it but then it's not something I can play a game and watch no you got to pay attention you do need to give it attention it is quite like it's not not complicated as such but there are I mean there is space politics that you kind of want to be aware of like that kind of yeah if you miss something then then two episodes later you could be like wait what are they talking about yeah why are they what's what's Mars doing what yeah so who who is the op Geor this is how you
do space politics well yeah yeah exactly wait this there's space terrorists now yeah there are space terrorists it's [ __ ] great um this is oh okay nice can I just circle back for a SE so Matt we're talking about oh [ __ ] I've just lost my train of thought this is not good listening it's all on you it's gets edited out Dan don't worry about it this never happened then you know what yeah move on I'm leaving this in so so so so we're not going back anymore now I'm so annoyed now you were so excited I remembered something I meant to ask you and and had been forgetting was it about something we already disced yeah but yeah but not on this week was something we disced oh [ __ ] could be
anything then yeah going back going back there's 401 episodes to go through I don't even remember what we talk about people come up people listen to all episodes come up to me and they're like oh it was it was a cat I'm like what oh yeah okay yeah yeah yeah all right right Lucas right here how we got there though you advised me to watch the red letter Media review of Wonder Woman 1984 which I did mhm very entertaining opening sequence yeah so good um whose dog is that is that a dog no it's the man from the car insurance company so good but I only got halfway through the review because I realized it I didn't really care and while I was watching it I saw in the side panel their review of the rise of Skywalker oh
yes and and so I decided I wanted to see that more than I wanted to see them talk about Wonder Woman so I clicked and watched that but I turned that off as well once [ __ ] Mike started talking about how there we never saw the real Palpatine we only ever saw a clone oh sure they actually did a followup on that I think and cuz the other two were like what are you talking about we saw Palpatine and then he was the emperor and he was like no man no they were clones clones already he's like made those clones thousands of years ago and I was like [ __ ] what I think he did follow where he was like yeah I was I was not making sense I think there's a follow-up video where he tried to right
correct himself yeah but no one's saying that that's just his thing like there's not a running Theory out there is there that could be something from the novelization he thought that the the the the Palpatine that died at the end of ret Return of the Jedi was a clone that's what that's where he was coming from cuz he was trying to figure out how the [ __ ] Palpatine could have died because whereas I think actually what's supposed to have happened is that he just didn't die yeah and that's what that's what the others are saying to him they're like no no no no he fell down that [ __ ] hole sured and survived and then went and hung out on that but then Mike rley was like that's [ __ ] stupid he's like no you the body vaporized yeah yeah so he he came up with this idea
that he he that was a clone so I think that's but he doesn't present it as an idea he says it like was supposed to know that from watching the film yeah exct I do have a question about rise of Skywalker cuz I know we all sort of force awakens multiple times watch it this week I only saw uh last shed ey once I've seen it twice I've seen it twice as well and I've only I've only seen rise of Skywalker once yeah same which I don't know why I I want to go back and watch that one no I don't think you do yeah I just don't I don't care just wasn't very good it wasn't bad like last year I was bad it just wasn't anything yeah you it was kind of like a it seems like oh it's an was an attempt to to you know pull it all back together and it was fine I don't care about I you
know the kiss at the end between Ray and uh kylo and everyone was like oh were they meant were we meant to assume they were yeah wanting each other um in the novelization they wound that right back and I I don't have the actual quote here but the way that that they the paragraph that describes that kiss is like and then she kissed him a grateful kiss kind of like what how you'd kiss a cousin that came over and did you a favor like they they really just walk it back is that yeah let me be CLE not a cousin that comes around to do to fix your sink yeah than Bob what fav is your cousin doing what flavors what flavor lip smack is your cousin wearing I think I might watch it again just the
kiss Just a Kiss beautiful moment not weird the one thing I still find about this last Trilogy of movies is that they didn't sit down and work out what they were going to do at the St so stupid no plan that just seems so yeah to me when they announced yet we're going to make a Trilogy I thought they had the story worked out Star Wars what could go wrong uh yeah we're g to write it and then you write something that's why because and it's it's Disney's fault because Disney should know better because they usually do better the reason Marvel is so good is because they stick to the plan even when you've got taer YT going I'm going to make a [ __ ] 80s [ __ ] like it's still part of the plan nothing changes
Thor is still the same character with the same motivations and the same end goals in that wacky than he was in the serious one where character quite a bit but that's I mean that needed to be changed quite frankly but no but he grew as a character but they didn't change who he F was consistent it's just as opposed to say [ __ ] bat flick right who in Batman v Superman was this brooding [ __ ] of a man and then they were like the next movie needs to be funnier so let's just make him the comic Rel and it's like well that's just not the same character he's playing another character named Batman but he's not playing the same character with Kevin figy being so Hands-On now with Star Wars I hope we're
going to see a bit of a change to that with Star Wars as well and I think they've started that with the Mandalorian yeah yeah yeah and how that's going to lead into Boba Fett and well you can tell Disney didn't have a plan with Star Wars because just from that one anecdote where they were shooting the end of force awakens with Luke Skywalk on the island and he was supposed to be levitating a bunch of [ __ ] with the force when Ray gets there and then Ryan Johnson called JJ abs and said can you change that because I've actually decided that Luke's [ __ ] depressed and gon to kill himself dick uh you know so can we just change Luke was a [ __ ] decided Luke's a [ __ ] withit and then J James was like right okay that's fair though George Lucas changed his
mind an awful lot as well he always had a plan but he always changed the plan but I just mean that that's such a fundamental difference like the plan was for Luke to be using the force when Ray got there at the end and then he was going to train her and then it was like literally just Ryan Johnson was allowed to do whatever he wanted like there was no I told you yeah yeah but did I tell you about the anecdote and and I I've since thought that this is probably not true because it's not in the film but um but it was interesting anyway so I I was working at Fox Studios back lot tour when they were shooting episodes 2 and three and uh a lot of the guys from well some we we all tried out but some some of the guys from our side got pulled
over to be extras in the Star Wars right yeah one of them was telling us this anecdote that he had cut himself shaving that the morning of his shoot right and he was playing like some kind of Imperial Guard or something and uh he cut himself shaving so he had this [ __ ] cut on his face he was like [ __ ] I'm going to get kicked off like I'm going to get to set they're going to be like cut on your face you're not going to um but evidently he he arrived on set in costume with his cut on his face and he went up to George Lucas and already as I'm saying this this can't possibly be true because extras are not allowed to talk to the but the way he tells us I'm just going to finish it the way he tells the way he and this was him criticizing George Lucas's Vision which was it rang
true so why it's always stuck with me but he went up and he was like oh Mr Lucas I [ __ ] cut my self shaving I've got this big scar on my face now and George was like what was your line in the scene and he was like oh the guy said did we meet any resistance and I say no sir we didn't meet any resistance and George goes hm okay change the line to yes we met with some resistance and it's probably [ __ ] but that's that that is how I think George Lucas re sure yeah he's focused on other things just I'm not quite sure sure what Luke they [ __ ] you're there's flashbacks Matt I don't know if you've got to this but there's flashback sequences in Fallen order where you remember when you were a pan getting
trained by your jetto master right and um he's training you and he just keeps going faster more intense I remember there's like one where you're supposed to be jumping or something I wasn't very good at yeah it's the very first one I'm still not good at that [ __ ] side jump a bit of followup I guess you guys still excited to see James Bond because you got to wait yeah it should be coming out soon shouldn't it I'm as excited as I was last year they are so presumptuous now that they've not only delayed it again they've put a date on the poster and now it's a far away date but it's like what are you doing you didn't make the last three dates just say coming later this year yeah or or coming at some point coming soon coming this vaccination thing's not
going the way we'd hoped just you'll get to see it one day hopefully yeah yeah yeah but we're just going to lose a [ __ ] ton of money if nobody goes and sees it yeah apparently people made offers to oh streaming services I should say not people offers to uh to stream it and they were like nah I'll make him an offer to stream it put it on the Pirate Bay watch it right now I promise yeah that's my guarantee to you I will stream it if they delay this again it's going to be a bigger Gap than between the Dalton broen films really huh yeah because what was the last one Spectre that's a good few years ago now that's a fair point you know I always think that there was a big gap but then what was the gap between broen
and uh and what's his name Daniel not as big as you not as big as you think because broen evidently had read the script for cin right and thought he was going to be in it huh oh wow that would have been interesting yeah yeah but actually I say that but I think the same thing happened with golden eye as well but it was still several years between you know living day Living Daylights no uh W what is the [ __ ] other r one the dton one neither can I Living Daylights and license to kill oh license to Kill right license to Kill I liked those ones yeah and he's a good Bond and he played it with just that little bit of Dark Spark that yeah exactly went away again until um uh Dani came back in October I don't want to wait that long for it I like see this has been
built up a lot now this is uh Han Zimmer doing the music for this one which is [ __ ] wild yeah right I'm just uh I'm just exited because it's the writer of of sorry it's the director of season 1 of of True Detective oh right and if there can be 1% of the vibe of that to James Bond love crafty and overtone yeah that's right some existential crisis yeah that's right James Bond [ __ ] legitimately tries to kill himself should get Matthew mccon in it I like Matthew mcon I didn't used to I listened to an interview with him recently where he was talking about how you know he just used to do romantic comedies mhm and then he realized I
don't [ __ ] want to do this [ __ ] and then it was just like from now on I'm not saying yes to anything that isn't [ __ ] awesome I'm like and then everyone was like I done well but people his agent everyone was telling him you make so much money what the [ __ ] are you doing like you could ride this gravy train and he was like I just don't care and it's what like he's probably got enough money that doesn't to be fair he could have just never worked again so it's not exactly not not the bravest decision but it's still quite inspirational in a sense he seems Seems like a cool guy I'd have a beer with him mhm even if you just play on repeat yeah so is there any movies coming out this year now or in the next couple of months get excited Luke dune's
coming out you love it is it though is it though man I don't know I don't know I just know luk doesn't care about it oh sorry hates it I should be clearer Luke [ __ ] hates D yes can I can I just cast your mind back to like two years ago when we were talking about an upcoming movie called the new [ __ ] Ghostbusters movie where's that yeah Ghostbusters afterlife where is that good point oh yeah and also black where'd that go I mean I don't care about it but where did that go yeah I'm currently building the car from the new Ghostbusters movie oh well hurry up they need to finish making it so maybe that's why you're holding them last I heard yeah that's gone to June I think Studio's like where are we finishing this Ghostbusters film they're like we [ __ ] waiting on Luke to finish the
car I don't know why we asked some guy from Australia who doesn't really insisted we should listen to him Matrix 4 is now just called Matrix I guess in the style of the Fast and the Furious movies where they just keep cutting out yeah adverbs I saw a behind the scenes well not behind the scenes I saw some like footage from somebody who was filming them doing a stunt off a rooftop and I was like well it looks like the Matrix okay like people jumping across rooftops so did did didn't the Matrix end yes after the first Matrix movie yeah yeah yeah I guess this is a sequel to The Matrix yeah I I I don't know where they can go with that um well I would actually be more interested in what was happening not in the Matrix
like oh God now rebuilding human race no I don't care I don't just soting jumping yeah I mean it could have been but they didn't make it interesting they made it incredibly boring zero interest in anything that wasn't happening in The Matrix anymore oh God that dance party yeah yeah machines yeah but then they made it so that Neo had powers outside the Matrix so [ __ ] knows well the only way that to work is that means he was still in the Matrix Matrix Matrix and a matx probably how they make but also don't forget that the Wiis have now come out and said retroactively that the original Matrix oh yeah was not a metaphor it was about being a transsexual yeah but I think probably that's just projecting their current situation oh sure what I'm saying is
number four is going to be very very transexual it's just I mean it's just owski in on this one I forget which one but one of them's yeah one of them's not not inolved at all the one who makes an effort or the one who doesn't I'm not sure I can't remember the one that just wants to pay check well the thing is they were just they were the were chasis for so long that I don't really it's you know actually am I don't know which one's which it must be it must be Lana right because she's the one who still directs stuff I think yeah I think so but again I don't know it is yeah well I probably won go see the Matrix [ __ ] off your watch when it [ __ ] off your I'm not going to the movies for it I'm not going movies for Matrix I'm not going to the movies for anything
anymore I don't think we'll see you know was funny I um when the Matrix came out Not only was it my favorite [ __ ] movie but it also was my favorite movie to look at the behind the scenes of because so much went into it bullet time training to become [ __ ] ninjas you know all of that stuff but I've just clicked on to IMDb for Matrix 4 because I wanted to see who the director was and it's a picture of Kiana Reeves and K anos pretending to ride a motorbike that's attached to a wooden pallet and it's just really robbed it's just really taken the magic out of it for me sure is this there's them currently not is this a current picture of them yeah yeah yeah this is like and I'm sure there's more to it than that but like this is the picture that's their Banner
on IMDb so it's like this is the level of film making effects that you can expect from the fourth chapter in this epic [ __ ] gamechanging franch I see I see it oh and keanu's on the back yeah yeah it's it's just not a particularly inspiring picture Fair although I love that uh oh what's her name let me find out the name of the person I'm about to tell an anecdote about so that it makes slightly more sense Jonathan gr is in this all right I'm on board now it doesn't say it just says the Matrix 4 now now I've got to watch this Neil Patrick Harris and Jonathan gr are both in this what's the name of that actress that was in [ __ ] Firefly and also in
one of the matrixes Firefly Gina Tores Gina Torres she came out this week and said um she's not in it yeah she was like I was annoyed that I wasn't in it and now I'm really annoyed that characters who died in the other movies are somehow back but my character that's still alive is not who the [ __ ] is she in The Matrix but I just remembered she's in the real world right or am I remembering that wrong who the [ __ ] was she in The Matrix I don't she wasn't in the first one no no no I think she only in the third one oh okay all right I could sort of being a bit up I could sort of understand being a bit upset like that like my character is alive and you're not having me back but they're dead and they are people get
real upset about not being in the Matrix if I recall correctly yeah one one character in particular being being in it but not being enough yeah threaten them at gunpoint if they didn't increase his Ro I'm not sure how he thought that was going to go but uh no well it didn't go well did not go no did not did not that's why tank is not in any of the sequels yeah didn't he get into his head that he was meant to become like the hero yeah he was like I think you should change it to to make me the one and and Neo steps aside and they were like no remember he like what my gun says you should do how about now yeah which is a perfectly normal way to approach these kind of things Yeah we actually weren't going to go down that route and then um he pulled
a gun on us and we realized that actually that would have been a great story point and um all was forgiven I think we should maybe start heading our way to the Afterparty which is it is it this way through this door no I nor got take the one on the left the one on the left oh all right yeah I I always go in through the back door the VIP entrance wink WI Kitty wink 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 iTunes to receive episodes automatically we'll see you next time
