Me, A Goth (Him, A Matt): Weapons Review & Xbox Game Pass Price Hike

I'm learning how to hit record on the phone. That's weird. It's about last week on the phone. Thank God. Actually, it might not be my last week on the phone. PAX next. It's probably be on the phone on the pax for pax next week. But the week after that, I'll be back to computer. I'm back there with you. Is it in the room with you right now? My computer is in the room with me, but I'm sorry. Is it dead and we're having a seance?

Is it in the room with you right now? Can you hear me? No, it's here. But I just find that running just using stream Yard, just when I'm using 5G, just going through the phone, it's just, it's just easier and better than trying to stream to my computer. And my computer is going to need like a billion updates because it hasn't been plugged in for two months. That's a long. Time we're going to demand that you actually just you read all the articles today as we talk about them so. Oh yeah, great.

You read through them and then Matt and I will comment. Yeah. So what's up first, Luke? There, there was a link to get into the chat, yeah. Yeah, All right. Cool. Yeah, there was. Yeah, that's as. Far as I got, welcome to Multiple Nerdgasm with your hosts, Matt, Luke, and Dan. Multiple Nerdgasm, Your guide to all things nerdy. We can talk about something near and dear to your heart. Yeah, we can. I know this is just stressing you out.

You've been away a little bit. To see in the news, go by on your phone. Unable to check in on your piece of Xbox? Well here's the thing Luke, in the past you've attempted to continue streaks and scores and things whilst on holiday. Yeah, but this time you were like, no, I'm just want to drink martini. Just couldn't do it. Yeah, well, apparently Microsoft news. They've noticed this. No drop in in. An enormous downward spike. And so they've. Gone, well, I guess, and they've

gone. Oh fuck, just kill the Xbox. Just kill it. We're fucking done. Well, well it's sort of weird because they're releasing a new the new handheld in like 2 weeks. Yes, I think all the news didn't. See this Luke, you did say this handheld will be the last Xbox and everything will just be on the handheld from now on. You did say that. I, I did say their, their, their goal is to basically stream console balls are over, They're going streaming. That's the future and that's

what they're going to focus on and that's why they're. Buying up their own, that's what they're doing. Nintendo just leaned into the Switch now. Like yeah, they're not doing another console. Nintendo would just. Nintendo have always done their own thing. Nintendo have never been involved in anything. I don't know man, the the the console wars used to just be fucking Sega versus. Ninja and Nintendo. Yeah, back in the day. And then Sega died, then the Sony came in, and then Microsoft

came in, and then they battled. Nintendo sort of stayed in it for a while. Didn't they just split up And you've got to? Remember when when there was just PlayStation One and Nintendo 64? Like Nintendo was still a massive contender in in the field, better console. I think people. Forget now. Yeah, yeah. It's not about that. Yeah, it didn't matter, did it? Well, then the particular news of of note, right? So Microsoft, apparently a bunch of retailers here in the US have

just said we're not going to sell Xboxes, which is interesting. Costco in particular, and then and others that I can't recall, they all just said we're not going to sell Xbox consoles anymore because we have trouble getting them and it's just not worth the hassle. And it's like, OK, interesting. Well, does it have something to do? With tariffs or? I think I, no, I don't know if it's that. I think, well, the, the rumour is that Microsoft's winding down production on them because they don't want to commit to them.

Because like I think it, it does to me point to what you're saying, Luke, is that they don't want to sell consoles anymore. So maybe they're not, you know, manufacturing them in the numbers. Well, yeah, 'cause that's, that sounds like a lot different. It's not like, no, we don't want to sell them anymore. It's just sort of like it's hard for us to get it. So it's hard for us to keep the stock. So we've got to put a slide, a section for us to advertise them when we're not getting any here's. What?

We'll hold on back up, GBT. What are we saying here? Are we saying that Xbox or Microsoft plans to only release PC games? Like what? What are we talking about? Where my? Xbox play my. Xbox. Games so OK, so the other big news, the other big news is that there's this massive price change in the Game pass. So Game Pass Ultimate, which used to be for me in the US, 20 bucks a month will now be 30 bucks a month, which is a big price jump. That's like 50% price jump.

And then there that's ultimate. And then the middle one will be professional and that'll be 15. Let me look at this. So I don't get you. It'll jump up to see. They're mostly only talking about Ultimate Premium. Premium will be. 15 and then essential will be 10 and if you want the cloud stuff, you've got to get Ultimate. The ultimate. If what? What does Ultimate give you now? Ultimate now gives you all the games, right that you can play. It gives you the cloud stuff and it gives you like. DC as well as console.

Oh. Yeah, PC Game Pass, Yeah, OK, so, and if you still want all that stuff, the other thing is too, that new ultimate will include the Ubisoft and the EA Play stuff too, which is actually a pretty good bonus. I actually. Want actually I was looking at the Ubisoft one. It's not Ubisoft Plus entirely. It's Ubisoft Classic. I see. Yeah, right. So you. Still have to pay for shadows if. I thought that's a bit dodgy. Yes, that's on sale right now.

I considered it because it gets away. We get to why I've got a lot of extra money. How? Much, but he plays. That's been included for a while. Xbox. Oh shit, $65? Yes, I'll pay $65 for it absolutely straight. Here we go, ChatGPT says I said why have retailers? Why are retailers no longer going to sell the Xbox ChatGPT sales? And so this is fact, right? Chat, Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Fact Yes, Costco confirms it will no longer carry current generation Xbox consoles as part of a business decision in quotes some other retailers. Well, sorry, is that implying that it's not a business decision? Yeah. Some kind of ironic business decision? Yeah. Also, why can't I say? Decision. It's definitely not for sexual gratification. Yeah, for a business decision. Other retailers like Sam's Club have begun discounting their existing inventory and reducing

future orders after Microsoft recent price hikes. Oh yeah, they have put the price of the consoles up. That could be tariff related. But in Europe and other regions, this Series X is often out of stock and many retailers have said they're not expecting to be restocked. And Xbox console. Sales have dropped. We're all, they're always out of stock. So we're gonna just not sell them even though the second. We get them, we sell out, they've sold out. Maybe it's maybe it's a hassle to to constantly be like, yeah,

sorry, we don't have any of those people get mad at them or whatever and it's like. So just back up because I mean, I'm, I'm a, I'm a, you know, a, a, a a pretty casual user of Xbox. I only, I have an Xbox casual. I pay $22.00 a month for my Game Pass and it just gives me the games that are in Game Pass. Yeah, I got charged yesterday, still $22.00. So yeah, yeah, it's next month. So good. November. Well, I don't want to pay more and maybe I'll just cancel it then because I. So I was thinking about it but.

Then Indiana Jones is going to disappear right when the DLC comes out, yeah. But here's the thing. Right I was. Thinking about this the other day, you go first, you go first. Double check. Double check what plan you're on. If you're not playing on PC, no. No. Well, maybe Indiana Jones. But the other thing is too that Ultimate is the only one that gives you the day one AAA releases. You don't get them on the others. That's the other.

That's the other thing, yeah. So they don't tell you what the games are because obviously that would be a long list, but Ultimate gives you 400 plus games, Premium gives you 200 plus games, and the Essential gives you 50. So it's a restriction on what the games are too. I don't know exactly what the restriction. Is OK, but. So I was thinking about it right. So I was like, to be honest, I barely have time to play my Xbox and so had I thought about this even before the price hike, I might have done the same thing.

But I was like, you know, what I should do probably is cancel it, put the money that I pay for it every month aside and just buy games and I'm. Pretty sure you come out. Ahead. And so that's what I'm doing. I've cancelled it and I'm gonna see if it affects my life negatively. What's that? I would not come out ahead. I would come out so far behind. It's not far. Yeah, that's true. I, I'm, yeah, we'll see. I but I'm fairly certain. But even right now, I play No Man's Sky quite a bit.

I own that. I, I basically haven't used Game Pass in months. So it's see, now that I've had my attention drawn to that fact, it kind of seems silly to pay for. I've been back in Australia for what, two days a day or something? I've already spent $300 on the games. Well, I've just spent $65 on a game, so. Oh, you did in the background there you. Go. I brought Borderlands 4, I brought Mafia, The old country. I'm just I'm thinking.

Of oh, that looks great and I hate mafia shit 'cause I I just, I just do want, just, I don't wanna. Play little crime, just sick of it. No, but it's true. I, I just, they're not people I'm interested in role-playing as. They're not right. People. Italians. Italians hold in what is this Boston in the in the. 1900s. I'm I'm enjoying it so. Far old country. Looks very cool. Looks very. Cool, yeah, I'm enjoying it so

far, but I'm also jumping between that Borderlands 4. I've got Gears of War Reloaded, installing of course. How's Borderlands 4 on? Has Randy punched in the face at any point? No. No, it's only on PC. Not while Luke is saying it's fine. OK, yeah. So Randy only punches PC players. Gotcha. Yeah. And, and a lot of times with PC players, it's just maybe you need to accept you can't play an ultimate and a four year old

machine. Just putting that out there. He's drunk the Kool. Aid. He's getting that sweet Gearbox money Licks. Well, that's true. I think people have gotten used to. Remember when we grew up, you could not play a new game on a computer that was six months old. You had to upgrade. Oh yeah, he's a more RAM, new video card, new something. Now you can actually buy something and it will last you years. And I think people are getting a

bit used to that. And now this has come out and I think people are just Luke stands. I don't want to upgrade. OK, So if I'm just taking back to Microsoft for a SEC, so you're saying there might not be an Xbox 5 or whatever the. Fuck it will be an Xbox. Five, that's the case, OK. There will be. Well, let's say there's not. OK. But there's not going to be a six is I'm just trying to I'm just trying to say like are they going to stop manufacturing will? There be a 7 point, there might

be a 7. They have they, they have. They have been saying for a long time there will be at least one more Xbox. But I guess it doesn't matter, it's a hypothetical and my question is what will I be able to play my Xbox games on in five years time? Anything. It's the whole idea is. But not an Xbox I I guess is my question right? You'll be able to get a controller, you get a dongle, you play it through your television, you play it through your computer, you play it through your phone.

It's going to be just cloud. Or this handheld that comes out. OK, fair enough. Yeah, well, if that's the case. That's that's a lose, that's the future, the. Other interesting thing about the handhelds is they're not making these. So that could also be more freak more common is that third party put third parties making the consoles. That could be the next thing too right. Do you know OK, do you know you know for a fact that the Xbox fives in the. World seems very certain about it.

Yeah, I have. From what I've read they they're wearing. Nelson in the room with you right now. Is he pulling the gun at you? I've always heard there's at least one more Xbox coming out. I think Sony are still the ones that are. No, no, don't do it. Sony are the ones that are still consoles are always going to be the thing. Microsoft are going, consoles are going away. We'll wait and see. Well, but a couple of game builders coming next week. Oh, you've got one.

Yep, a pre-order one. Xbox. Yep. OK, interesting. I am very interested. To hear it runs locally right? It doesn't just do. Cloud, it runs locally yeah, it's got like a one terabyte hard drive on it, so I'll be able to install and. It's pretty fucking impressive. So it's a Series X. Yeah, like, yeah. And like, I don't know the exact specs, but it's he. Didn't he? Didn't it's? Definitely up there like in a run Series 6.

But no, it's only, it's only like even for Australia, it was like $1600. I don't, I don't know if that. Fuck, I mean, yes, yes, yes, that's. But don't. But I am. I am so poor at the moment, it is not funny. My switch too was 500 bucks. Hence why I didn't like. The other thing I'll look at with this is you can actually use it as APC like I've been using my other handheld. It's APC. Everything in your house you can use as APC you. Could use that recliner as ATC,

yeah. You could use that. That long neck, that. Long neck can be run through my first VD episode. Brought to you by Victoria Bitter VB for a hard We'll be in Victoria for a hard earned thirst. It's my first non Vietnamese bee or non self Asian bee in two months. He's gone now. Well, I'm just about who you're on. Local no comments, you're over. There. Happened to be at a restaurant for lunch and they had Beel Lao on the menu and I was like.

Did you feel that that Beel Lao had a strange after taste that was Luke's I? Didn't actually I quite liked it. Yeah, I don't remember it having a strange after taste either. I. Liked it enough to have more than one. Maybe that's why you don't remember. It could be. And, you know, people are very angry about the price hike, and there's been a lot. Like your little bit angriest? I wasn't angry, it just made me think about it. And like I said before, had I

thought of it, made me think about it in a way that had I thought not thought about it, I might have just continued to pay. But actually really, I made me realize I probably shouldn't be paying for it at all because I don't use it so. Yeah, that's that's a good point. What I felt. About Netflix until Alien Earth came out and now I'm like. Netflix. No Netflix, I didn't worry. About EA At the moment, EA is gonna be a lot. Because they got bought by Saudi in.

A few months. Yeah, that's it was unusual. And been. Brought with debt, I can't wait till part of the. Deal is just. Stimulator comes out. Out of the deal is $20 billion of debt, so they want to make that money back as quickly as possible. So oh God, I don't know how you can buy stuff with debt. Well, yeah, I don't know, it's all a bit dodge anyway. Look, there's lots of dodgy stuff to talk about tonight. We could talk about. We could. Luke, I'm just going to rattle

off some some of the things and you tell me whether we're talking about them now or in the after party. OK? All right. You ready? P Diddy. OK. Give me a second. I'm just turning some stuff off because my connection sucks. Everything's off, Go for it. Just reach into your asshole and turn something off. That's what it looked like. I'm gonna. I want the listeners to think that's what. You can get ones that you can

control from your. Phone Luke Assholes. Yes. Luke, you'll be pleased to know we've got some Neil Gaiman follow up. We've not stopped. About Neil Gaiman. No, we've got racism news. Yeah, we've got racist news today. Racist. News. Great. Yeah, we've got some Jesus Christ news. Yeah, you do. You said that. Isn't that him being back in the wrestling ring?

We had some James Bond news that was so good it was in here twice at 1:00. .0 Yes, actually it was in there three times because I because I realised you'd put it in, I'd put it in and then I'd also pasted the incorrect link to something else. So. We can talk about that right now if you want. It it was James Bond day the other day I found out. Oh yes, and I saw a great meme and I I saved it to send it to you because I didn't want to send it before you were away. What's? James Bond's day. Yeah, Why was it James Bond day?

Why was it James Bond day? I know it's the 37 B of. He couldn't be July. Was it James Bond Day? It was James Bond Day because October 5th marks the world premiere of the first film. Doctor. No, that's why. Oh, OK. I mean, I mean. That's James Bond Film Day then, surely. And also that's not the first James Bond film. It's the first Sean Connery James Bond film. But anyway, whatever. I watched Automation, Secret Service.

Just just quickly, we talked about that a little bit last week. I did watch it. It is slower than I recall. I did enjoy it still. And I think I ever noticed the fact that Jeff Leesby just has a fucking Australian accent. Yeah, I've never noticed that before until this time when I and I guess as a kid I didn't think of it. But well, I think in the 60s Australian accents sounded a little bit more British, though didn't. They, I mean, it does, it's not a very strong accent, but he is like, oh.

That bloke never happened to the other. He's never happened to the other bloke, yeah. And yeah, he said. I remember that line and then when he said it, I was just like, oh, he's he's Australian. Yeah, he's Australian. Yeah. This is my bloody mind. I I've been on 2 tours for two different tours so I had to meet like two different tour groups. A lot of some thought I was from the UK to begin with somehow instead of Australia which I. Don't know. Yeah, that happened when Matt and I first went to America

together. That's what everyone thought. Yeah, or New Zealand for some reason, just not Australia. Oh. Sure. Yeah, Yeah. No one knows about Australia. Yeah, that's right. I could never think of people thinking I did not have an Australian accent. It just blew my mind. Here's the meme I saw today. New James Bond movie James. If you can't overcome your generational trauma, you'll never discuss what it means to truly sacrifice Old James movie. Hi, my name is Rebecca Arse.

They were a lot simpler. He There's so much woman hitting in this in an emergency Secret Service. He slaps. I don't remember Lazenby hitting a lot of women. I remember he slaps one really, really good and then there's another one a bit later on with the the Countess. They it's at the end of the movie and they're trying to escape Blofeld's thing in the Alps. He's a little. We've got all the time in the world for me, like. Yes. And then her dad, she's like,

mom, we've got to go. And she goes, no, I'm not leaving without James. And she he's like, yes, you already punches her in the face and knocks her out her dad and then throws her in the helicopter. Yeah, we've got daughters. We understand. And then also the whole subplot of, you know, the guy, her dad is trying to get James Bond to marry his daughter. And and then he's like, I've kept an eye on everything you've done for my daughter, and Bond's like, everything. And he goes, yeah, don't worry about that.

And he's like, I think I want you to marry her. And then there's something about she needs a man to Make Love to her until she loves him. Jesus. Like what the hell works? Hey, who says that about their own daughter? Yeah, BB, have you, have you ever told a woman that you're gonna? Fuck her too, she loves you. And see now well that. Goes. I mean, I've heard Mike Tyson say that, but that was about a man, yeah. Yeah, and it was. That was some fucking smack

talk. That was the scariest shit I'd ever heard in my life. Hang on, fuck you till you love me, faggot. I'd have nightmares about that forever if my cousin said that to me. So it's slower than I remember and also this funny just because it's it's kind of an odd style after the Connery ones. Like the style of it's quite different. It's a bit more artsy and like the like the beach fight starts like really beautifully shot and stuff like that. It's some weird stuff like. Driftwood in the front

foreground and stuff. Yeah, it's like, oh, this is nice. But then there's and there's a lot of long action scenes that are very cool, which I'm pretty sure that like that's what I probably liked about it, you know, that I'm remembering when I was a kid. But it does have a lot of really good long action scenes and the way they handle the cause. A lot of it is green screen, like all the skiing stuff, it's really green screen, but it's done quite well in that they're short shots and it's like kind of like like they worked around the limitations of that pretty

well. I. Think. But he does. Do. No, but they don't show it for too long. It's like quiet. I was like, oh OK, they've they've been smart about it. But he's got so many 1 liners in this. Oh, really? Like they've been dubbed on. So like he's like, he's like he's fighting. And then Phil gets hit by a branch and then all of a sudden you just hear like it's clearly dubbed because he's branched off

and then like he's like continuing his branch. Also, if I recall, it's from Her Majesty's On Her Majesty's Secret Service that the frilly the Austin Powers costume is based. On right, definitely. And it's pretty much a one to one. It's apples to apples too. Like, I mean, it looks ridiculous in a, right? Yeah, Oh yeah, no, but in in a fun way. Like yeah sure, but what I mean is like. But it has a very distinct look that's different to the others, I think.

Yeah, because that whole sequence where they're up in the Alps thing and he's brainwashing the women and that. And then this is fucking awesome. Funny. So funny when he's like, because there's like 10 women there. And then just fucking James Bond and then the staff of the clinic or whatever it is. But then he goes to one of the women's rooms because she writes her number on his leg under the kilt. And that's that, that great line where she's writing on his leg with lipstick underneath. And then the and he's like, and

then nurse says everything right? He goes, oh, yeah, it's just a slight stiffening. And then he goes to her room, bangs her and he tells her something about she says, oh, he goes, don't turn the light on. You look so lovely in the light of the fireplace or whatever. Oh, because he's supposed to be gay. And she says, oh, you didn't like Ben. And he said, oh, normally I don't, but you're such a such a picture here in the in the shadows or whatever. He says the same and then he goes back to his room and one of

the other women is in his room and he just says the exact same things and bangs her as well. Like this is like literally 1 after. The And you know what? I bet that wasn't in the script. And then lazily was like, you know what I did once I was at this resort with all these women, they all thought I was gay. And then I I literally banged each one of them one after the other. Yeah, but it's it's it's the exact same lines. I say, oh man, this is very, very James Bond. Love it.

My, well, my favorite, not my favorite ever James Bond line, possibly my favorite Roger Moore James Bond line is though, is which one is it where he's going then to meet doctor so and so and then he meets her and he just goes a woman. Some good good woman action in this actually. The Countess beats the shirt of a bunch of dudes at the end. Oh, OK. Well, that was progressive at the time. Yeah, she kicks her ass. Yeah, it's normally been. For. Up where two women are trying to stab each other.

Yeah. Yeah, which ones gonna get? That's a game, Yeah. But then the the the Bond girls always just kind of faint or they get punched. They literally get punched out like in From Russia with Love punched out and then Bond fights the Russian guy. And then sleeps. Does he? Fucking judo. Throw pussy galore in. Yeah, into the into the straw. They judo throw each other back and forth and then he just. OK, jumps. Oh that's that's less creepy if you're both doing it.

Yeah, wow. Oh, if she's fighting back, it's less creepy. It's a fair fight then. He won and he gets to take his prize. Yeah, he's gonna fuck it though. She loves. It that's how it works, How? It works in James Bond. The Bond news is yeah. So it's sorry. That wasn't. The Bond's anniversary Goldeneye was back in theaters for a little bit. I didn't get a chance to go to see that, unfortunately. However, people have noticed this week.

Amazon owns James Bond now, so all the movies of are up over there. Remove the gun from all the posters. On there now I understand that they want posters without guns, but these are the classic posters with just now they just. Photoshoot the guns out. They just go like that for more like this for no. Reason 1 looks so strange because he's just like he's like, remember this, He's still Yeah, he's going to punch you in the. Arm. Yeah, he's going to. Yeah.

Made you look. It's just so interesting. I would love if I saw if I finally met Pierce Brosnan like. He punches you. That. Doesn't mean that anymore. Actually, I think that's like a isn't that a racist thing? I was about to say it either means gay, Nazi or racist with one of them. Oh, no, no, no, I don't think it is. I think it means inside job like it's we're telling you. Don't worry, this is a false flag. Oh, is that because I think people were talking about how

Trump used to do this all the time when he was talking, but I think he just does that because. Yeah, no, I think before that it was turned into a hand and green nose. We're not talking about shootings and things. So if you saw that they meant, oh, that was a false one, don't worry about that. That's just letting the elites know that that's that's planned and not real and. Very good. I watched Just the Hunt for Osama bin Laden on Netflix this week. Three-part doco. Did they find him?

They did find him. He was in a blue no no. Blue though. Was it a hot air? What? Who references that? Remember the thing about the kid that went up in the? I forget it. And then went missing and then he was in it. Was a hoax? Never mind, never mind. Fair enough. I don't remember the kid that got there was a kid that they their father tried to go viral so pretended his kid trapped in a balloon and flew off and yeah, but.

It was a hoax, yeah. There's it with hoaxes, man. Like you're definitely gonna get caught as. Dad was doing this at the whole time and knowing the whole. Time you should have known. If you'd asked me last week, I would have said that my interest in 911 and all things related are at best don't really care and at worst a bit tedious. I've heard about it a lot, right. I don't know why I clicked on this. I honestly don't know why, but it's so well made. It's it's so thrilling. But this is like the

establishment's version. Like this is so pro CIA like it's, it's, it's, it's all like it's, it's very biased. You know, there's no, there's it's, it's, it's a one. Size Bunny. I've got the the hunt. Let's. Go get him and we the hunt for. Him was I remember hearing at. The yeah, yeah. Yeah. Very, very beginning. They actually said we think he's fighting in Pakistan. So yes. So no guns. They never went. They haven't said anything about

it as far as I can tell. I mean, it's fairly. Obvious. I just did 1 guns on their posters. Like, yeah, I mean, it's not a big deal. It's just that we know these posters. It just looks odd because, yeah, because exactly the Connery's there like this. And it's like, well, there any reason he's standing like that? It's because he's holding the gun like. Yeah, yeah, to. Like, yeah. Put something else in his hand. OK, A cigarette.

No, Fuck no. We can't show anything in this movie. Serene. Look, it's a fist that he's going to use to punch a woman. Luke's falling off the Internet. Hang on, Luke, hang on. We're not catching any. We're getting any of this. He's still talking about bin Laden. Yeah, Yes, they, they addressed that. So what they did was they they bombed the caves in Pakistan, but then didn't send in any drought, grab any drowned troops. So no, we still kind of eat.

Luke. I'm sure what you're saying is, is really. Oh, no, no, no. He's gone. He's either he's gone frozen or he's just looking at me. Yeah, he's just disgusted in this. Could be either Live from Australia says in his tagline. I don't think so mate, I don't. Think so? No, no, no, that makes sense actually, because I've. Oh. Oh great, now there's two of him. Oh, it's Tuke Alderson. Weren't you the 1 recording?

Oh it just records. Stream Yard is the one recording. I'm not saying we talk about this now, Matt, but did you read this racism news for this week? Very funny. I've seen the. I've seen it in here. I think it's. I assume this is the one you mean. #21. Yeah, I, I did not know that. I did not hear about that, but hello, welcome back. No idea what happened, but I'm here moving on. Matt, you saw a movie this week that I want to watch. Oh, I did.

Yeah, I did. I watched Weapons the Zach. Cragger I wanna see that. Horror film weapons. It's fucking really good. Really good one. Really different. Really is. This available in Italy or did you go to the cinema? I set sail, so I was Yeah, good. It is available. It's, you know, if you liked barbarian, you'll like this. Basically, it's not, not doesn't. Like the bad? News like like barbarian does, it's like more of a slow. Yeah, fine.

You know, revealed, but you know, the premise of the film is the, the, the, the tagline is or whatever. You know the synopsis. It's a set in a small town. One night at 2:17 AM, all the kids from one class at the local elementary school. Oh yes. Run off into the night and then disappear. No one knows where they. Are they run off really weird? Like don't with their arms. With their arms out and the town is trying to all the towns trying to figure out what the fuck is going. On weird details like that that

make these stories the creepiest, it's got all. Yeah, it's it's got a lot He's he's good, man. He's it's got a lot of weird creepy shit. And then and and also like barbarian, lots of detail in side characters that, you know, sometimes you don't get that these days. Like it's, it's a very just a very fleshed out world. All the characters are very interesting, lots of weird. Creepy these days. Do I have to take you back to the, the, the horror movies of the 70s and 80s, Matt, that we grew up?

Yeah, fair enough. Even the main characters didn't have characters. Fair enough it's but it's all very fleshed. Out. We're teenagers and we're at camp. I hope nobody stabs us today. Yeah, the plot is they wanna fuck each other and this guy wants to murder them. That's the plot. Or someone in his family does. Auto no. I'll go Alien. They fleshed out some of those side characters a little bit. So we're all about like, we want to get paid.

Like where's our car? That's that's the kind of thing I'm talking about is that they feel like real people and but there's this fucking weird shit going on. It's anyway, it's very good I. Forget to count when I think about horror from that era, but it you're right, it's 100% horror movie before it's science fiction or anything. And yes, you're right, the characters are great. Like the space truckers, they've got space trucker concerns. Yeah, but not even they are not even 1 unit brain like those two. I can't even remember what they

but they argue about shit you know they don't want. They want more. Yeah. Not Burke. Burke's from Aliens. Yeah, I know the the two the the engineering guys. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's great. Yeah. They argue about the fact that they don't want to go look at the distress call, but they have to, otherwise they lose their share of the thing. You understand everybody's motivations and it's all very Yeah, yeah, that's great. Yeah.

The weapons. Scene and Matt, I know, I know I told you that I liked Alien Earth, but I I will, I will say. You gone back on it now. No, it's not that I've gone back on it, but it's just like the more you think about it. No, I haven't even watched anymore. It's just I've thought about the the stuff I've already watched and I like it less the more I think about it. You know what I mean? It's like while I'm watching it, I'm OK, and then afterwards I'm like, why is this happening? Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of stuff

like that. And I also something I found out really interesting this week is apparently he wanted to set it later. Whoever he was told no, no, no, it's got to we want it to be a prequel, which and I was like, I think I feel like if it was set later, there's a bunch of stuff that would bother me less. I just think the fact that it it set in a timeline where it is undermines so much about everything that comes after it. Because a lot of the tension of the Alien films is like fuck man if one of these things get to Earth. Yeah, if like 1.

Literally, yeah, that's literally a lot of the tension in those movies. And then now it's like, Oh no, there's already a bunch of them, don't worry about it. Like I. Don't know, it's just. Yeah, yeah, you can. You can baseball bat them. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, Well, I don't want to spoil anything, but. Oh no, you can't. It's. Fine, you know, in case we don't spoil it. OK, we've got fucking people can one of the synths can just talk to them and tell them what to

do. And it's this little pet now. Like it's just, there's so much stuff about it that I'm like. The hot synth. There's a hot sync now. I'm assuming I know which one you mean. No, not that one. No, the the first sequence in the first episode was like Ridley Scott back in the 70s, shot an extra 20 minutes that he didn't use and they whacked that on like it's because they're so good. The original idea was that that ship was sent out because of Alien, and it's like, well that makes so much more sense.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, keep that, keep David Spate's original setting for Prometheus and everything continues better than it currently does. Stop. Whereas what they've done, for some reason, the studio said no, no, no, we want it set beforehand. And so it's like, OK, yeah, it's just a bit weird now. Just going back to what you were saying about knowing everyone's motivation in the Alien movie, you also found out everything you needed to know about the company in that movie, everything they wanted you to

know without any real conversations about it. And then this starts by someone going. Waylon Utani. Yeah. Don't they own spaceships? They do. In fact, they own the one we're on now. Like, it's. Yeah. Like, Luke, I'm not exaggerating all that much, really. It's. It's it's very, but I do. Have a question mark too? They don't trust the audience to figure things to to. Understand aliens on Earth even

before this if you go off Aliens versus Predator. No. We, we don't. We don't. We don't talk about that. I mean the answer is yes, but no. I've seen far worse Alien movies than Alien versus Predator now, so it gets a pass. I know, who would have thought that? I mean, at least Alien versus Bros got Lance Hendrickson in it. Right, yes, which? That was just confusing though. They made it work. And he can't explain it.

I can tell you that. I asked him. He said oh fucking. They just made him. They made all of them look like him, right? They were just like, oh, this one looks exactly like you. Well, that was him in Alien versus Predator, I believe. Like that's actually. Yeah, but that's why there are. Yeah, but then why don't any of the others look like him? It's all it all falls apart there. Why doesn't? Ash look like him there other engineers that work there I don't know fuck.

Lance went there because they went, hey, he's a check, would you please tell him to do another movie? And he said yes, please. Where do I sign? And what's his name he played at? What's his name? Bilbo, Ash. Yes. Ian, he, he was like, Nah, I'm done. He wouldn't come back. So therefore he had to be Lance. Well, somebody made a face of him, didn't they? Is it? Was it? For Romulus, yeah, isn't.

He. Yeah, terrible. Took that money, now he's in. He's passed on. Yeah, there's a lot of things that I don't know why he's in there in an otherwise perfectly good movie. Yeah, I really like Romulus. And then at a certain point I was just like, oh man, they've really. Tested my patience. Yeah, why is this happening? You could just tell it was studio interference. Make him. Say the line absolutely. No reason he should say that. Yeah, oh, the enemy was very I

would have been OK with all of that. All of that was good. It's just that there's other the just some of the other stuff. It's just like like basically this Ash being there was so unnecessary. Like it really pulled me out of it because I just kept thinking why is he there? Doesn't make any sense. And I know it's not with him, but like this we've not established the fact that since all have to look the same because they don't look the same, There's a since it doesn't look like that in this fucking movie.

Like, yeah, that's true, yeah. Anyway. Before we move off Alien, I was going to make a point. It's just all good. Speaking of horror movies, just briefly, this will be quick because I don't know a whole lot about this. I've just seen this trailer. If you ever wanted to see a horror movie about Jesus. Look, I hadn't, but I fucking do now. It's got Nicolas Cage in it as the Carpenter. It's not, apparently. So this is not, they're not explicitly saying anywhere here that it's Jesus, but it's Jesus

and it's basically, well, you just looked at what it is. Yeah, I'm, I'm watching the trailer now. It's about a Carpenter whose son has supernatural powers back in, like in, you know, just before 0. 18 in Nazareth in Nazareth and his son's got. Supernatural powers and it just looks fucking great. Someone's getting nailed to a cross, so. You're going to say Nicolas Cage is going to be Jesus? No, it's his son, just called the boy. So Nicolas Cage plays Joseph as in Mary Ann Joe Joseph Carpenter.

And it's. A of the Carpenter. That's just movie. Has you just accepted that she got pregnant without him having sex with her and just went Yep God God would be pregnant? OK, it's. Just it's described as a genre bending spectacle that defies expectations at every turn. And I think it's going to be fucking great. It's. Defying my expectations just by watching this trailer because even though you you'd put in the spreadsheet what it was, this is not what I was expecting. This isn't some be horror.

This is this shock, like it's beautiful, made for the Christian channel, like it's looks like it's done really well. Yeah. The film tells the dark story of a family hiding out in Roman Egypt, known only as the Boy. The Son is driven to doubt by another mysterious child and rebels against his guardian, the Carpenter, revealing inherent powers and a fate beyond his comprehension. As he exercises his own power, the Boy and his family become the target of horrors both both natural and divine. It looks fucking great.

It's basically it's, yeah. Jesus. As a horror movie, yes. As a horror, OK, Speaking of young horrors have. You seen? Actually, have you seen there's another horror movie coming out? It's called Very Young Frankenstein all. Right. Is it Mel Brooks? Yeah, yes, he's 100 and he's written this. Excellent. Well in pre production I take it. When I was a kid I legitimately thought that Mel Brooks coined the phrase asshole because I'd

only ever heard it said in Mel Brooks movie. I was like, there's like Mel Brooks humor again. Just before we move on from horror movie. So have you seen that the makers of the Winnie the Pooh horror movie have a new one coming here? What is? It then something else, right? OK. So it's lapsed into public domain now, has it? Yep, so I think it's Bambi's mother. I don't. I've only seen a very short trainer and I'm assuming it's

Bambi. Mother gets killed and Bambi goes on a murderous rampage. I'm I'm imagining it's I spit on your grave, but with a deer. Oh, it's called Bambi the Reckoning. Oh my God, look at this. OK, look at this poster. Oh fucking hell yeah. I think it's just going to be this company's thing now. Absolutely. They're just waiting for anything to come out in public domain and they're they're basically already filming something ready to release. Great. Business.

Model. OK. There's more that I support the whole library. I don't even necessarily want to watch this or the Winnie the Pooh one, but I'm glad somebody's doing it. This trailer looks great, all right, I mean. Oh, there's a trailer even. Yeah. Oh look, it's it was. It's from the director of the Straight to DVD Mummy Reborn. Oh, that's the one. We're with Jet Li, right? Mummy Reborn. Yeah, I think it is. Is it reborn or is it?

No, not even. Not. Not even that one. Jeez, what is? That it's got literally no one you've ever heard of in it. You don't. Need anyone anymore? You don't need anyone. It's meant you're meant to think it is, though, by a little by a lot of the signifiers on this poster. Absolutely. Yeah. No, you don't need stars anymore. Stars. That's the whole thing about how the movie stars don't make

movies anymore. It's about no franchises and. Well, there are 1,000,000 great actors out there. Why do you need to have the draw card anymore? Just let Gary Oldman play all the parts. Yeah, he could do it. Eddie Murphy can do it, and Gary Oldman can. I'd love to see Eddie Murphy do like I would get Gary Oldman do an Eddie Murphy style movie but like dead serious. Like no jokes, just. Didn't Jerry? Didn't Jerry Lewis star professor? Oh yeah, you're right.

Yeah, and it was Jerry Lewis and it and it was there is some. Oh yes. Oh, he just played. Oh, anyway. There's also one called the Absent Minded Professor which I've heard. Of that. They remade as Flubber. Oh yes. In the absent minded professor, he invented Flubber. Yeah, OK. I get those two mixed up too. Gary Oldman is in the news this week because, Oh yes, he is. He was knighted. Yes. He's Sir Gary.

My turn to be knighted. Now, yeah. His real voice is more than his acting voice, he just sounds very chilled out when he talks normally. Yeah, I saw this interview with him when he was like some bird came in and said would you sign my left breast or I want to get it tattooed over? And I said, have you got a pen? But he's just, yeah, he just, he seems very cool because he's he he's such a good actor and he plays some very intense characters. And then just here, just hearing him talking right now when he's just talking normal.

This is so strange. He's just like such. A I'll put this out to our listeners. If you want my signature tattooed on you, just let me know or happily sign away. Yeah. All right. I did read some stuff about Gary Oldman that made me not like him as much though. Oh no, Oh no, He. Has he done bad stuff? No, no, no, it's all consensual. It's just not something that fits in with my personal morals. No, I didn't feel, I feel with celebrities. He.

Says you had to point out when this is this. Too young are we talking? No, no, no, no. He he was living in England with his wife and his a little baby. And then and then a Hollywood production came to film a movie. He got a part in it. He liked the look of the female lead, Miss Uma Thurman. And she said come to America with me and you can be famous. And he did. And he left his wife and his kid and went off with her and shit. I was like, oh, that's not nice. But I mean, that was probably his big break, you know what I mean?

We probably thank her for putting. Thanks. For the professional. You're in motion. But yeah, but but I just was. She was she and I go. Well, it's like when you. I would explain it. When you. Yeah, but don't you love seeing like this is Lionel Messi's girlfriend. He's. She's been with him since before he was fake. Oh, I love all that stuff. Yeah, yeah, he's Brosnan as well. Well, it's sort of weird.

Like, until I found out that Harrison Ford used to sleep around, I always thought that him and his first wife were Yeah, someone who were going to be together forever. Until he found out he was fucking Carrie Fisher, then just left her for Lisa Flockhart or whatever her name is and was sleeping around the lot. You think he was a nice guy? I'm. Sure. He was. There's no he about it though. I, I mean, I think Harrison Ford was, was the real life James Bond. To be honest, that's how I

imagined his life. And I don't think I'd. Probably do a movie about. I don't. Think less of him knowing the stuff 'cause I already thought that. Like true, I do. No, I do really think less of him for the Carrie Fisher story where she's basically 18 year old girl. The crew got her drunk and the crew was gonna. The crew will get to take advantage of her. So Harrison Ford rescued her by going to get in the car. I'll take you away and then. Frozen.

Yep, had his way 10. Year old guy I've. Dropped out again. Yes, Oh, I've. Story I've just. Started to get into that story and he fell off completely. You heard 18 year old girl. Girl. The crew were about to. I'm back. There you go. So. So what did you do, Luke? Oh, don't you remember the Carrie future? No, actually this method. Yeah, you were there, Matt. You were on that crew. Remember?

We were trying to get a drunk. And then Harrison kept going to be like, come on, get my couch. Yeah, yeah, my cars let me let me take you away. We should do a short film where we play the rest of the guy's gone and she just left with him. He wasn't even there. I've been here for 45 minutes. I'm giving. Too much to dream. 5 minutes. Have you seen that? As they, they, they go around on social media all the time. There's photos of her trying on in the movie. There's photos of her trying on Peter Weller's glasses at that award ceremony.

Yeah man mate, what a hottie. She was, but I think she made her way through the A list of Britain and America in the late 70s and early 80s you. Know what I mean? Like includes in case you're like Oh no, no, no. She fuck, she would admit this. She yeah, you know, admit this like live in person. She talks about it all the time. She yeah, I fucked. Everybody like if if, if you. She didn't give a shit. If you type in Carrie Fisher lovingly staring at there'll be a list of different celebrities. She's just. Like she wounded so much she she

needed to at a young age to a gay actor on Broadway. I don't know. Jesus, my goodness. Me. And I think her mother was supportive of this. Right. Oh yeah, that could be famous too. What? Debbie Reynolds, Debbie. Reynolds, that mum, Debbie Reynolds. That's right, yeah. It's a documentary about it. Mum is. Debbie Reynolds singing in the rain. Is that who I'm thinking of?

Debbie Reynolds didn't. Didn't Carrie Fisher's dad leave her mum for Elizabeth Taylor or something? She had a very messed up life because Debbie. Reynolds was, yeah, a very holy messed up. Life, yeah. And listeners, listeners, if you're, if you're young and you think Elizabeth Taylor, that old lady, fucking Google Elizabeth Taylor 18, then come back to me. But that was back in the day, like where they weren't getting paid a lot of money. They were being fed drunk my friend. Flickr to right now and tell me

that that's not the most beautiful woman in the world in 1959. We're like movie stars today, that we're rich. The studio would pay for everything for them, but they weren't. Telling Ellen, telling them that they'd tell little kids that parents were dead so that they would get a good crying. Scene. That's right. Yeah. Quickly on horror films. Before we go, there's a new trailer for Frankenstein and it looks fucking incredible. Yeah, I haven't seen the trailer

yet, but I do. Watch this Frankenstein. Wonderful. Yeah, I'll probably try and go see that in the movies, to be honest, because just because I I watched the sort of trailer and it looks like I want to see that on a big screen. I want to see this in a a little movie cinema, like one with the old projector and you can still kind of hear the rain outside. It looks visually reminded me a lot of Crimson Peak, as we call it, Crimson Peak, which that was visually stunning. So yeah, I'm into it. Gila Deltour is great. I'm trying to get back into like

regular it's. Amia. Trying to get back into regular timeframes, I thought I'll go. I'm going. To finally do that, there's nothing on for the name of this episode. It's Amia. Yeah, me, I got. No. My funniest joke that Matt's ever done is for no. Me no. There's not right now, actually. I'm sorry. I think we're having some trouble with your connection, Luke. But I did hear what you said,

and hopefully I'm not. Talking yet we made it out by. Yes, there is nothing on at the theaters right now. I looked the other day because I was trying to look to see when Gold and I was on. Yeah, nothing. Yes, yeah, we did. We did. I've even written it into the spreadsheet. It's Orson Welles, just funny. See you anything? Sorry Luke, your connection is behind and it's no very funny. I don't feel like I'm behind. We're just a bad thing. Oh. Good.

You absolutely are though, unless you unless you didn't just say that. Let me try and stand up and get a better reception. While Luke's catching up, man, I was reminded of something today that I had not thought about in many, many decades. Did you? You, you a little kid in in England? Did. Did you ever watch Worzel Gummidge? Yes, of course. Worzel, Gummidge. You thought about it lately, because I sure hadn't. Luke, do you know where this is?

It's this I have. No idea what this is. Dark Show Kids show in England about scarecrows. Scarecrow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the the costume is very creepy. Wait, who is that guy? Now that I'm looking at it, I'm like, who was that? Actor Mackenzie Crook is developing a remake. Oh, of course he is. Oh, is it? Holy shit. It's Jon Pertwee. It's Doctor. Who? That's right.

OK, That's who it is. Yeah, Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, didn't know that when I was watching this as a kid, because when I was a kid, Sylvester McCoy was Doctor Who and no one else. Was that and also Cat Weasel is the other show I remember from when I was a kid. Yeah, Cat Weasel was a very strange Is it? Cat Weasel is a magician from the time of the Normans who is cast into the future by magic. Yes. Yes, the only one I can probably think of that I would know from that time would be the Wombles.

Oh yeah, the Wombles. Yeah, same time. Yeah, Yep, Yep. Of. The land under. Well, hold on, hold on. The Wombles. Tingwell. Is in. The Australian dog wait. What cat weasel's Australian is it? No, no, no, no, Bud Tingwell, the lawyer from the cast. Wells, Bud Tingwell of the and the Pitch Week kids. Yes, yes. But I always think Bud Tingwell is a made-up person because of that sketch.

Luke Yes, I have to remind myself. So do I. That part of it is real. Yeah. Yeah, you've. Already seen cat weasel. Oh no, it's a British show or an Australian show? No, 100% no, it is British. OK. Yeah, it's the most British thing there is. But I don't want to watch the wonderdoy. And horror from England from the 70s and like it's. Do you remember the show Chucky? Chucky. Chucky yeah.

It's about a kid who has like, he, they think it's an imaginary friend, but it's actually like an alien being that he talks to. That's just energy. And I remember the liking the show a lot as a kid. And I've read the book at some point, and it's actually really, really, I think it's been a while. I remember it being really, really good. Yes. Oh, it's based on a John Wyndham novel. OK. Yeah. Yes, kid has an invisible extraterrestrial friend.

But aren't they now trying to get away from kids talking to their imaginary friends to tell secrets? Probably. I think they're trying to get away from a lot of the shit we used to watch as kids because they've realized. This is why it's not philosophicalism. Weird. I am. I am going. To for that reason. Oh. Yeah, right. Yeah, his imaginary friend. You. Shouldn't tell secrets to your

imaginary friend, you should tell it to your parents. Yeah, yeah, to actual. People adult. Yep. John Wyndham and cheap made for TV British adaptations from the 70s has reminded me. Matt. I assume you didn't, Luke. Maybe you did. I don't want to. I don't want to profile you as not the horror guy. Matt, did you ever watch the TV series Day of the Triffids? Yes, that was fucking good and I watched that a couple of years ago. Oh, Luke did watch it.

Good, good, I. Haven't seen it yet. Yeah, this is great because the, I mean, the, the, the start, I mean the premise people is everyone on Earth, there's a meteor shower, everyone else goes blind looking at it and alien plants kill everyone and they can't run or hide because they're blind. But it starts off much like 28 days later. It's it's somebody who was in hospital while that was happening. And so he's OK and he had eye surgery and so he's been bandaged, which is why he had, he's the only person in England

who hasn't gone blind. But that's this really great thing because he gets his, the other makes a call or gets a dictaphone and starts talking about how fucking talking. But then he starts going, yeah, at 7:00, the sun's going to start to come up and, and you can see that it's well after that. And the sun's already streaming through. And you know, he doesn't, he doesn't know what time it is. He thinks it's much earlier. And it's just without, without anybody saying anything. They're just set up in this one shot.

OK, something has fucked up and this guy doesn't know about it yet. That and day of the not day off, just the tripods is another yes thing I used to watch and I read the books and is it that the opening scene of Tripods actually really scared me when I was little because they I don't know if you it's like the village of people. So basically the premise of Tripods is that these aliens from another planet, they're in these big metal machines with three legs and they go. Four of the world's, really. Yeah, right. But in the opening sequence of

the show is like this village, and I think it's opening of the book too, villages, they give you the young people go and then they the tripods take them up into the tripod and they put this little cap, skull cap thing on them, this little metal thing. But it like sucks them up in a tube. And it was, yeah, fucking scared the shit out of me when I. Was like, yeah. Yeah, like my go to. When I think about it now I go. Yeah, my go to I'm sure if I. Looked it up on YouTube, it would look ridiculous because it's the 80s.

Yeah, I go the Andromeda straight. I just love that movie growing up, which I don't think it's really horror more. That was that weird genre of like government tests in the desert that could end badly for everyone genre. That was only in there. Basically and early 80s. Like. Like Copenhagen? Yeah, like an asteroid here and there's this. It's brought a disease that they don't know what it does and it's killing everyone. They're trying to find what what it is and how to stop it.

Disaster movie, I guess you'd call it. Would you like that? Genre Pandemics. Oh, don't talk about pandemics. No, we'll get a little citation over the video. Yeah, yeah. You know what they didn't have back then? They would have sorted it out. Ivamecton. Yeah, yeah. Well, it is time for the after party. Well, I don't have no idea what's coming up in the after party because I have no access to anything so. Good, you have no idea what's

coming. No like. Diddy's partners. Patreon.com/multiple Wordgasm under score You're gonna get Diddy D That's all for this week. Thank you for listening and we hope you enjoy the show. If you enjoyed it then please subscribe an item to receive episodes automatically. We'll see you next time.
