Grow Goo: Mandalorian and Grogu, Destiny 2 & Masters of the Universe

Multiple Nerdgasm. >> Welcome back. I'm Luke. This is Matt. I did the homework this week. >> I didn't really. Uh I Oh, okay. So, let's explain. What's the homework? >> We were going to watch Neighbors vs. Zombies the Halloween special. >> Yes. So, if you're not familiar, Neighbors, the Australian television show that was canceled is coming back though apparently. >> It keeps getting canceled, keeps coming back. It's weird. >> Yeah. It's like a television show from Australia. >> It's a soapy. It's a soapy opera, but >> uh apparently they did a Halloween zombie special that I didn't know about. >> They did it in 2014, so 12 years ago. >> Mhm. >> But it was sort of weird cuz so I watched I when I say I watched it, there was five

episodes, I skimmed them all. >> I I skimmed the first one and then was like, "Man, this is going to be rough." And then just didn't watch the rest. >> The problem was is I'd stopped watching Neighbors by 2014. There were all these characters I had no idea who they are. >> Except Toadie. >> Except Toadie. >> Yeah. >> But and but they I It was actually I could see why it would have been quite fun at the time cuz a lot of the jokes were referring back to before. >> It seemed like for what I skimmed people characters who had died were back. >> Yeah, like some character who died like 10 years ago had come back. And they all started off fine and then they started murdering people and yeah. >> Okay. >> Uh spoiler, everyone dies. >> Oh, all right. Everyone >> Everyone. But it was quite funny like

>> Is it actually violent or no? >> No, not at all. >> think so. Okay. >> But there was like one thing like they go, "Could it be like a Harold thing? What, you mean where I got lost at sea, washed up in Tasmania of Indonesia and came back 10 years later? No, I don't think that's it. >> Yeah. [laughter] I remember when that happened. >> I I remember when that happened as well cuz that was weird. >> Yeah. Oh, Madge. >> Well, that's what soap operas do. They just >> I know but I know Yeah, I remember cuz Neighbors was just always when I was a kid and I find like it seemed like a serious television show to me as a kid. Yeah, cuz I guess I didn't know any better and then as as I got older I was watching I was going,

this is [ __ ] stupid. What? >> Like and then every year it would end on some weird cliffhanger like an explosion or a gunshot or something would happen and then you got to wait till next year to find out and then yeah, when you got older yeah, it just this is stupid. >> Yeah. >> And you you either were a Neighbors household or a Home and Away household. >> Yeah, I feel like possibly we were a Home and Away household. >> Oh, really? I was a Neighbors household. Home and Away no, not for me. >> And not that I watched all of them like that I watched either of them but I should say very much but I feel when they were on I was more aware of Home and Away. >> Yeah. I remember once when they the two cuz what Neighbors was Channel 10 and Home and Away Channel 7 but one time they put

them on the same time. >> Oh, god. >> There was a lot of people writing in complaining about that. >> Yeah, I bet. I've told I'm sure I've told this story before but I was at uh I went to a sandwich shop in North Sydney for lunch when I was work at work one day with my co-workers and we walk into this sandwich shop we're standing there waiting for our turn to order. Oh, actually waiting for I think we'd ordered we were waiting for our sandwiches. >> Yeah. >> And uh there was this girl there and I I was like actually looks familiar. Uh and I guess I must have been you know, doing this or whatever. Cuz she looked at me and she said, "Hi, how are you?" And I said, "Oh, I'm good. How are you? How you been?" And she said, "Oh, pretty good, you know, we've been up to

like just super super light. Yeah. Nonsense chat. And then they like she grabbed her sandwich and left. And then and I was like, "Okay." And then the two guys I work with were like, "How do you know her?" And I said, "Oh, I don't know. I think maybe I went to school with her or something like that." And they're like, "Huh, she's on Home and Away." >> [laughter] >> Oh, that's where I know her from. I don't know her. >> [laughter] >> I'm just some creepy guy to sandwich shop staring at a girl. >> She just looked familiar. So, I yeah. >> I could see that though. Someone you cuz it's not like you watched Home and Away religiously especially at that time. >> No. >> So, it would have just been that someone familiar. >> I actually the other thing is what I do

When we were neighbors actually, I'm pretty sure these guys were from Neighbors. When Jenna and I went to the You remember that movie The Nice Guys with Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe? >> Oh, yes. Yeah. >> We got went to got to go to screen a press screening for that in Sydney and there we were getting drinks at the bar and there was a like a bunch of I think it's kids. They were younger than us there. And so, we would they started chatting to us or whatever and then um then they started saying, "Oh, you can go in now." And then but they got called over to take photos over on the photo thing and it turned out they were from Neighbors. And I wonder if they're some of the people in this [ __ ] zombie thing. >> [laughter] >> It's

It could They could be. >> And well, cuz I'm looking at this and I'm like, "Oh, there's a bunch of young people here." >> Yes. >> I wonder if that's them. Like yeah. Very well could be these like all these kids that are in this. So, there you go. No idea. >> No idea. No. But no, I skimmed it. It was I found it a bit funny. But I think it would have hit more if I had been watching the show and it was 12 years ago. >> And you knew yeah, this character's [ __ ] dead. Yeah. >> Yeah, cuz a lot of characters came back and I was like, I don't remember who you are. >> Yeah. >> [snorts] >> Oh, well. >> Yeah. >> Did you go to the movies? >> Um did I go to the movies since we spoke last?

>> You were supposed to go see a movie. >> Oh. Have I not spoken about on here yet? I did go and see Star Wars. I did go see The Mandalorian Grogu >> You have not spoken about it. >> I took myself out. I went to gold class. >> Oh. >> I got my Martinis. >> Main event. >> Main event took myself out. Yes, I did put out. >> Okay, for yourself. >> Yes. Um I kind of liked it. >> Interesting. >> All right. It was just three episodes mashed together. >> Okay. >> And they were three distinct episodes. >> Really? Like did it come up and say last five minutes ago on The Mandalorian or the Grogu and the Mandalorian >> It didn't quite do that, but there's all the opening scene where he sort of which a lot of the the trailer is from the opening

>> I've heard that but beating up a bunch of Imperials. >> Yeah, that's the opening of the movie. >> Mhm. >> And then yeah, he goes off to Nevarro to try and do some negotiating. I'm going to try and keep it spoiler free as possible. >> Mhm. >> But goes off to Nevarro to do some negotiating for the New Republic. Does all this and then there's that's the first episode. The second episode it's a Grogu episode. >> Okay. >> Where Grogu is just looking after the Mandalorian and >> Okay. >> And then there's the third episode where the New Republic come in and save the day. Like very separate episodes. It's really weird. Like they could have just been the new season of Mandalorian. >> Okay. But you enjoyed it anyway.

>> I enjoyed it. >> Is it >> Um I did see Dave Filoni and I nearly got upset with him when I saw he made himself an X-wing pilot. >> I heard I heard you. >> about it and gone I do exactly the same thing. >> Yeah, you would, yeah, absolutely you would. >> Like Anyone who says they wouldn't is a complete liar. >> Yeah. I might make myself something else just to be different cuz I don't want to do the same thing as you, but I would definitely put myself in Star Wars if I could. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Like it wasn't like he had a big role or anything. He was >> No. I would just make sure I was there and that you could see me. >> Yep. >> And then that would be it. >> Yeah. So yeah, don't blame me for it. >> Mhm. >> Sigourney Weaver >> Oh yeah, she's in this. Is she? >> She's in it and I

don't quite know why. >> Can I do something? >> Yeah. Like I'm not saying her character was bad or anything, but I just probably could have saved money on the budget. >> So I've seen this in the trailer and I thought it looked [ __ ] stupid. >> Mhm. >> There's a Hutt with axes. Is it stupid? >> Um that's Rotta the Hutt. >> You didn't answer my question. >> [laughter] >> No, it make it make sense in in the movie. >> That's not really what I'm asking. >> That Hutt is a main character in the movie. >> That's not what I'm asking. >> [laughter] >> I'll ask you the question again. >> Does it look [ __ ] stupid? >> No. >> Really? >> It does. He's a Hutt with muscles. >> Exactly. I mean, yeah, okay.

>> [snorts] >> But, he's It makes sense because >> All right. All right. >> Cuz I think he's running a Hutt's army. Come I think he's from one of the cartoons. >> Okay. >> So, he's already sort of canon in the universe. >> Oh. >> Jabba the Hutt's son. >> [ __ ] Filoni universe. >> Yeah. And his whole thesis he doesn't want to be like his father. >> Okay. >> And so, he's trying to make a name for himself that's not >> Jabba. >> Jabba. And so, that's why I think he's worked out. >> [laughter] >> Okay. All right. >> But, I you should see it. >> I'll watch it at some point. Um I maybe I'll go. Maybe I The The thing is though, I haven't seen a lot of the stuff that leads up to this.

At this point. >> Um you don't really need to. >> All right. >> Like it is just another season in The Mandalorian. >> Okay. All right. >> Like >> So, Gina Carano's there? >> No, no, she's she's not back. >> Oh. Well, what happened to her? >> Um >> I wonder if she beat the [ __ ] out of her. >> [laughter] >> Well, that's how that fight was always going to happen. And then the two laughing thinking about it. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, yeah. I know, right? They both made a fortune. Yeah. >> Yeah. And that The outcome of that fight was well known beforehand. >> Yeah. I was It reminded me of I know I probably talked about this before is there's one of the Fast and the Furious movies where um Ronda Rousey's in it and she fights Michelle Rodriguez.

And I was like, well, that's ridiculous. >> [laughter] >> Yeah. >> As you would [ __ ] destroy Michelle Rodriguez, but in the movie obviously not. >> It's >> Yeah. But, if they would actually go on the ring yet, of course, instantly as as in with Ginny Craig was like 4 seconds or something or some absurdly low figure. Anyway, looking at the articles in here, it's sort of weird because there's two articles sort of back-to-back in here. One's going that hey the Mandalorian did not do well the first weekend, correct? And then one directly under is Sorry, mate, it's budget back. Yeah, so I think there's a I thought this was interesting. There's a couple of things here. Yes, The Mandalorian and Grogu needs a box office miracle after an underwhelming opening,

right? It's not doing well as far as Star Wars movies go. However, it didn't cost that much to make. >> No. >> So, that's why the two articles seem at odds, but they're not because they can do this cheaply now with the with the way they shoot these, so >> already got the screen set up. They've already got That's already there. >> Compared to the stuff that compared I believe to the way they were doing the um you know, like The Rise of Skywalker and what's his face and all these kind of movies. Uh this didn't just didn't cost that as much. And so yes, it did perform badly, but it has already made its budget back, which I think um I don't know if that includes marketing budget cuz marketing budget is pretty big, but

also I don't think they marketed this as as heavily as they did the others either. They didn't do any of the tie-ins with like um Oh, that's not true. I was at the movies yesterday. We'll talk about that if you want. Um >> I only played So, I saw the store was like a few I saw trailers at the movies >> How much at the movies I just realized yesterday I saw. So, they did do some stuff. I just feel like it wasn't everywhere like Star Wars usually is, you know? Um >> I do find it funny though cuz there was a report a little while ago that um like cuz there's another Star Wars movie coming out this huge July Star Fighter. >> Yes, which I'm actually excited about. >> Yeah, with Ryan Gosling and they're all saying like that's the one that's going to keep something got tradition going

that there's going to be a there's a lightsaber and all the Star Wars movies have lightsabers. This one didn't. >> No. No, okay. No darksaber either? >> No darksaber, no nothing. >> I don't know what happened to the darksaber cuz I didn't watch after season 2, but >> Starbuck's got it. >> Oh, actually? That's right. >> She took it back home to Battlestar Galactica. >> Nice. All right. Well, it's a shame cuz she turns out to have been a hallucination or an angel or something. Spoilers. >> Yes. >> Mhm. >> But no, there's um no other Mandalorians in this. It's just Mandalorian. >> The Mandalorian. Yep. >> He just flying around the galaxy. >> To Din Djarin or whatever his [ __ ] name is. Din Djarin.

>> They explain how he got his ship back very quickly. >> Oh, is he back in the Razor Crest? >> Yes. >> What happened to that other one? Oh, you know what? I should probably watch the show. >> Just watch it. I don't want to give away too many spoilers cuz people may want to watch it and it has only just come out and it would break my rule. I'll give you more spoilers by next week. >> You said I think you said, I've seen some people say it's more like season 1 of The Mandalorian than >> Yes. >> See, I like I did like season 1. So, maybe yeah, all right. I'll check it out. >> Yeah, and you see a bit more of Grogu becoming himself and doing stuff a little bit more on his own. >> I want to see Grogu leave like he was supposed to.

He He like they chickened out of that [ __ ] plot. >> He's He's here to stay. >> Yeah. >> Until Luke Skywalker has a bad dream. >> What does he mean? No, okay. That'll Yeah, yeah, that's true. Mhm. I guess I can take heart in the fact that he will die. >> Yes. >> Thanks to Rian Johnson. >> [laughter] >> Um This The third article down is more balanced. Mandalorian and Grogu won't lose money, but it may not rescue Star Wars either. So, um it's not been you know, made the budget back. Yeah, but it will be financially fine, but it's certainly not blowing up >> I honestly think they would have been better to have made another season of The Mandalorian. >> Yeah, well, to the the last article on on that topic though says it has broken a major Disney record. It is the highest-rated

by by fans, by viewers, uh on like Rotten Tomatoes uh of any of the Disney movies. In like including Force Awakens, I believe. Uh this was this was the other day anyway. Um it is the highest-rated Star Wars movie of the modern era by the Rotten Tomatoes audience score. So, >> Critics thought it beat The Force Awakens. >> on it. Yeah, it's critics were pretty lukewarm on it, um but fans apparently like it a lot. >> The the look, the one thing that's absolutely destroying me with Star Wars movies these days is the hyperspace means nothing. There's no time to travel anymore. >> Yeah, JJ did that in uh >> Yeah. Cuz remember like they had to go and it was going to be a hard thing for Luke and Obi-Wan to get a

spaceship to take him to Alderaan. No, it's 15-minute trip. They're like, what are they talking about? Yeah, that's right. >> I mean, the prequels did that a bit too though. They jumped around a lot. Oh, they did, Like there's episode three where Is it three where Obi-Wan's in the Jedi starfighter? He's jumping around. Might even be episode two. One of them he jumps around and it just feels very like >> That was but there still feels like there's time. >> Yeah, you're right. >> It's not >> I guess I haven't seen the way it's done in this, but >> Yeah, it's definitely Well, I'm just saying in a modern era like especially like The Last Jedi where they could go off and have another adventure while

they're being chased. >> While there's a yeah, chase going on. And then the beginning of Rise of Skywalker, they're literally jumping during a battle to escape and stuff like >> Yeah. >> Yeah. [snorts] >> Yeah. >> Mhm. >> Didn't like that. >> Uh the last article about this uh I said I haven't seen it, but this article indicates maybe the New Republic committed some war crimes in this movie. I don't know if there's spoilers that need to be >> They they they're really isn't. That's why I won't talk about that one this week. I'll talk about this one next week and let you know what I think. But I guarantee you Luke's done more war crimes than anyone else. >> With the Blood of the Destined? >> No. >> When he blew up Jabba's palace? >> That's um

>> Oh, sail barge. >> Sail barge. The how many slaves and workers would have been in there that he just murdered? They weren't all criminals. >> That's a good point. All right. >> So I think that's the biggest war crime that's ever happened in Star Wars that I've ever seen. I know there's a whole thing about the Death Star and stuff like that, but no, that one is he would have known for >> You think you'd say no no no? The only good Imperial is a dead Imperial, but when it comes to crime lords >> The person that was >> say actually, you know what? The Death Star was a military target. >> Yes. >> I might be with you on this. The sail barge was not quite like that. It's a different kind of different kind of thing. >> everyone working there was working because

>> Yeah. >> Like this guy was a slave. He had other slaves. Uh it wouldn't you wouldn't have a normal criminal serving at the bar. >> True. Yeah, the Death Star was literally just a military installation. >> All right. >> You might you might have to convince me on that one. >> I know I'm right. >> Dark. Uh a little bit of follow-up on Project Hail Mary, which is a [ __ ] fantastic movie that I've >> You've seen it again? >> I've seen it again. I mean it was the same movie and I still loved it, but this is actually uh it's trailers uh it's one um Golden Trailer Awards, the Golden Trailer Awards with uh what, five prizes. Uh >> know there were actual trailer awards.

>> either, actually. I just thought this is really interesting. Um But but best of show they've won uh for the Project Hail Mary trailer. >> Okay. >> that's pretty neat. I Yeah, I just learned about this this week. >> Yeah, I'm going down here. Best Drama, Project Hail Mary. Best Fantasy Adventure, Project Hail Mary. I don't think you can get both of them. I think that's a bit wrong. Oh, Best Video Game Trailer. >> Wait, uh Project Hail Mary got Best Video Game Trailer? >> No, no, no. I'm just reading some of the >> What was the Best Video Game Trailer? >> Best Video Game Trailer was Silent Hill. >> Oh, yeah. Okay. Um yeah, fair enough. I see that uh >> Best Thriller was Weapons. I still need to see that. That looks creepy. >> Weapons is great. >> Yeah, I need to see it. >> Yeah. Yeah, it's good.

>> with those kids running down the street? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I might watch that tonight. >> Do it. Yeah, yeah, it's good. Best Music is Project Hail Mary Chance Trailer. Best Score is uh Dune Part Three, which I'm pretty sure is Hans. So, congratulations, buddy. >> I wonder if he's going to be eligible for the Oscars this year. >> Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. >> Cuz you know, you remember he wasn't allowed for Part Two because it didn't meet the percentage of English dialogue. >> guess. Based on what I know about him, probably not because you can't He's going to use the same themes. Like, he's not >> Well, no, no, no. Isn't Three meant to be like >> enough Oscars. >> But Three's meant to be in the future a

bit more, so the movie's tone's going to be a bit different, isn't it? >> Yeah, but it's got all It's got a lot of the same characters in it. Like, so >> Okay. would >> he's going to do the same thing which is continue the themes through like Yeah, I don't know. We'll see. >> He's already been paid. He's happy. >> Yeah, and he's got enough Academy Awards. He's fine. I I don't I'm not I'm not I don't think he would bother be bothered that much about that kind of thing at this at this point, right? >> Yeah. It's not the like I think the most important one is your first one. >> Yes, right. And he's had that since the '90s. So, he's he's fine. [laughter] He's he's fine.

>> Oh, what about some YouTube news? >> Sure. YouTube is now going to I think this is pretty interesting for false positives anyway. YouTube is going to start labeling AI videos. But it's going to use AI to find them. >> Yeah. >> [laughter] >> Which I mean sounds funny, but yeah, that's fine. Whatever. >> But labeling's not really going to do anything cuz no one reads those labels. >> No, and I wonder like how good is it going to be at this cuz this always like gets things wrong. Um and they haven't really explained I don't know how they would explain you know, in a way that would fit the general public how it's going to do it, but >> Well, I have watching some of this some

a bit of this coming up and some users channels are getting pinged and canceled for being AI and there's all like we're not AI. We're making cartoons and >> Yeah, I mean I wonder about this. Like they've said to the blog they apparently the blog post about this mentions stuff like metadata and watermarks in the video. I'm like, well, yeah, that's obvious. Like what about when it's not obvious? >> Yes. >> Like >> And it is the more we go forward with it like the harder it's getting. >> Yes, cuz people will remove the watermarks in the metadata. That's not that hard to do. >> Yeah. >> So, um yeah, they get a little tag at the bottom that says AI if it's an AI video. And then also I just wanted to like what qualifies as AI? Um

Like the whole Does the whole thing have to be like AI video and audio or cuz there's a lot of them There's a lot of content now I've noticed that is video or like say like uh Use an example. There's a like say you you record yourself playing a game and it's game game play footage, but you don't like your voice. So, you use an AI >> Yeah. >> 11 Labs or whatever to generate the the audio for the video. Does that count as AI? I just I wonder how they're going to do it. >> See, well I think I don't think they actually care for tell the truth, honestly. >> You think it's marketing? >> I think it's them saying, "Look look, here's what we're doing." But at the end of the day, they don't care if there's AI slop out there that's getting views cuz

>> Yeah, I suppose. >> They're getting They're making money off it with the ads they put on it. >> Mhm. >> So, they don't really care. So, this I think it's more lip service more than anything cuz they're not removing the AI. >> No, they're just telling you that it is AI. >> Yeah. So, it's not really helping the issue at all. >> Yeah. We got I asked in the I think it was in the afterparty I asked about uh AI thumbnails. >> Mhm. >> And I got >> Yep. >> I'll double check, but I think largely everyone was like said they liked them. >> Okay. >> So, I was like, "Okay, that's interesting." But I wonder if um that would set them off. >> I don't From what I've seen, no. >> Yeah, okay. >> Because it's just the thumbnail. If you look at it and then it looks at the rest

of it, it's just our two talking heads. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Mhm. >> Your beautiful face and me. Aw. >> So humble. >> Take the compliment. >> Aw. Um it say okay it says apparently apply to videos that show significant photo realistic AI use. Okay, so that implies not audio. >> No. >> And not this unless they somehow think they might think you're AI because you do kind of phase in and out of existence sometimes. >> I'll fix I need to fix my lighting in here and I will get to that one day. >> I think it's charming. >> No, I'll leave it at that. >> Yeah. I'll fix it please. >> Maybe I am AI and Matt's just talking to himself. >> Did you see the thumbnail last week? >> Yes. >> [laughter]

>> Not not not the after party one the actual show. >> No, the life is normal? >> Yeah. Man did a great job with that. >> That was great. I loved that [laughter] one. >> That's what I mean. I like I know people that like the AI thumbnails but like come on there's no way I could have done that without >> No. >> Yeah. >> No, you wouldn't have been able to and not and it wasn't but still >> I mean not that this matters but it wasn't just like I like I said make a thing and it did it. Like there was some back and forth you know I put in some effort to try and make it look cool and nice and >> You never ever go with the first prompt. >> No. No, we made some changes together. >> But although I have noticed that AI is getting better with words.

>> Oh [ __ ] yeah. Yeah yeah yeah. >> Yeah really when AI first came out it just could not spell. >> Yeah if there were words in the picture it was a dead giveaway cuz it was just nonsense. >> Yeah. >> Mhm. Now it's like yeah. Yeah. All right cool. Yeah I doubt we'll get flagged but we shall see and I think yeah I think it's interesting but yeah I do think like you said it's I don't know there's going to be >> Yeah cuz the people who are watching the AI stuff cuz sometimes it's very obvious there's a AI shorts channel that I was watching Jack films talk about. And it's just it's fruit that's being sexy and getting into dramas and all this stuff and it's just reels and reels and reels of it. No

one cares. It's AI. Everyone knows it's AI. >> It's fruit. >> They can just churn this content out. >> Right. >> YouTube's going to come along and go, "Oh yeah, this is AI." And the people watching it aren't going to care, but YouTube's done their part. >> it's AI. I don't care. >> Yep. >> It's like all those uh I see this a lot on threads. People will post, I think it's on threads cuz it got posted to X and someone moved it over, but people will have AI generate like there was one that was um Spider-Man fighting Carnage. And it was like uh you know, it costs Hollywood millions and millions of dollars to make stuff like this and AI did this in like 10 seconds and it's like a thing of Spider-Man fighting Carnage.

>> Yeah. >> But it's not good. Like [laughter] I don't know. Like maybe this might be my you know, I've often complained about I think my brain rejects >> Yes. >> computer generated fights in in movies. I I just I can't I don't like them. And so I look at this and I go, "That's garbage." And a lot of other people were saying like, "This is really bad." But then also a lot of other people were like, "Oh, wow. Yeah. This is amazing." And I'm like, man, it's just [clears throat] really a range of >> But then again, are those people real? >> Oh god, don't get me started on that. Yeah. Good point. I don't know. >> Cuz yeah, there's a lot of you know, just fake accounts on there and they all just you pay AI to >> Yeah. >> to go and comment on stuff and the

comments are normally not related to what's on being seen or done. It's just Wow, so good. Love insert channel name here. >> Do you think that guy was making fun of you the other week was AI? >> Yep. No, I don't I don't want that. I don't want to piss off AI. >> [laughter] >> They can make as I said people can make fun of me all they like. Doesn't bother me. >> Yeah, same. I think it's funny. There's only very rare occasions that I've um not that I've flagged a comment and removed it from YouTube but it's usually cuz they say something racist and I'm like [laughter] I don't want that on a [ __ ] channel. >> No, no we do not want racist. That doesn't help. >> It was in relation to I think it's it was it was when the

Acolyte. We got a lot of a lot of feedback, let's say, when I said that I liked the Acolyte and I think there was one comment in particular that I don't even I'm not even really what it was but I remember going Jesus Christ, no, I'm not leaving that on there. >> I feel that I saw an article recently and it was about saying like in the new you know how Prime speaking the new Harry Potter TV show? >> Yes. >> And they're going to have like all deaf or something. They're not even the character that plays Ginny the first episode in the first season's going to be changed for the second season. And a few of the comments like oh yeah, that's happened like it's I think it's more of the parents or they just want to continue on.

>> Okay. >> And in the first season you see Ginny for what 5 seconds at the train station it doesn't matter. It's not like a huge People oh yeah it's okay and then the rest was just they replaced her own character they need to do this they need to get rid of Snape like what are they doing they're going to regret doing this it's all like oh my god. Like just hundreds of comments just complaining about Snape being black. >> It's so weird to me. Who [ __ ] cares? Like I don't know how do you care that much about a thing that's like I I don't get it but then again I'm not I guess I I take heart in it because I guess I'm not racist because I don't understand why you care so much about that. Like

>> makes zero sense in my head why this is a thing like even article someone talked about in 007 the new game people complaining that there's a black character in it and I it didn't even cross my mind >> I don't know who the black character is and I did see that. I didn't look into it. Is it a prominent character? Is it a >> Greenway Greenway is the guy who's teaching me to become an agent. >> So it's not even a character that's in the [ __ ] books or movies. >> No. Cuz this is set modern day. >> I don't understand. I don't understand. I could I could cuz I was thinking they already did this. They made money Pennyworth black in in like the >> What are people complaining about? It's not real. >> Who [ __ ] cares, man? I don't care. I wonder if

A, it's not I think that a lot of that is not real. It's got to be AI or I feel like it's just like a gimmick that people get to go into too hard. It's got to be. Or I guess I just don't understand that people really are that [ __ ] stupid. >> I hope it is something like that because there were just hundreds and hundreds of comments just complaining about it and I just >> [laughter] >> Stupid. How embarrassing. You you if you You're embarrassing humans. You're embarrassing. It's so stupid. Just shut up. >> But let's not talk about it. Just that's just depressing. >> I do want to ask about about First Light though. You've been playing >> I've been playing it. Um I need to be careful how I play it cuz um it's >> Is this one of those ones where if you

make a noise and now you have to murder everybody? >> Uh pretty much, yeah. But it's not it's a lot harder to do that cuz it is very Hitman-esque. >> Okay, so you're not supposed to It doesn't allow for you really to just murder everyone. >> Yeah. Like cuz you know in Hitman, like Yeah, it's actually hard if you set If you have you got to It's not just with like Watch Dogs or Yeah, GTA where you just down you just murder everyone and you move >> Murdering everybody is a is a recognized mechanic in some games. >> Yes. >> In this game and yeah, in Hitman, it's not. >> not. So, I'm not I struggled at a bit, but it's not as bad as Hitman. Okay. But I'm only a little bit into it. >> Yeah. All right.

>> So, I'm going on my first mission now. >> Mhm. Where you going? >> I wasn't paying attention. >> That doesn't surprise me. >> I'll work out the details when I'm there. >> Yeah. In case you don't know, watchers and listeners, Luke is not a big story guy in games. He's a gameplay guy. He's an achievements guy. >> I'm an achievements guy. >> And gameplay is more important than the story. And the story is just a thing that happens while he's doing that. >> I used to really like story in games. >> Yeah. >> And then achievements came along. >> And ruined it. >> Ruined it. >> I'm thinking of getting First Light. I was interested in getting it on the Switch, too, but it's got delayed on Switch, too. So, um

I don't know. I guess I'll I'll probably get it on the Xbox. I mean, it's probably the best place to get it anyway, but >> Yeah. I went to play They just released um The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition on Game Pass. >> Oh. >> And I went to play it on my little Ally Rogue. >> Yeah. >> The screen is far too small for that. >> Oh. >> It just was unplayable for me. >> Okay. Speaking of that, uh well, I'll just I'll just one last thing on James Bond then I'll then I'll tell this. The uh The reviews have said that this is the best James Bond outing in since Skyfall. Uh which has enticed me to want to play it even more. So. >> Okay. >> Cuz I like Skyfall. I liked No Time to Die as well the second time.

>> But it's sort of weird that it's comparing a game to a book movie but >> Yeah, I know. I know. But it was I think yeah. People would I think people understand that comparison. >> Yeah. But no, I'm I'm enjoying it cuz yeah, you're basically playing a It's not set in the past. It's set in modern day and it's about how you get recruited into MI6. >> Right. Okay. Um On the topic of small screens, I have still been trying to play Stardew Valley. I know Did I mention this last week? Right? >> Yes. >> I just really wanted something I just wanted something on my Switch Lite. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. I got my Switch Lite. I wanted something I can potter around in. The UI is too [ __ ] small. >> Yes.

>> It was driving me nuts cuz I'm I know we already We got old man gizzum out of the way before the show started. Right? >> So we're back again. >> This is brief, right? We've talked about our health problems before we started recording this week. So you don't have to But I will say my eyes aren't what they used to be. >> Mhm. >> Uh but then I realized in the menu, you can increase the UI slider and it felt horrible and gross and disgusting to do it because I've never had to do that before. >> [laughter] >> But I did [snorts] increase the UI scale and it's perfectly playable and >> Well, I I think it's okay to do it on a on a small screen. I think you have to on a small screen. If you're doing it on a large screen, you got more problems. >> Yes. And the other thing is I know I said I

couldn't get into Stardew Valley. I just decided stop cuz one of the things I do is you know, you can find these like beginners guides to and it's got all this stuff you got to do and and you know, you've got to got a certain amount of things you can do every day and it can become very stressful if you're me because you keep thinking I've got to progress that kind of I'm like no, no. [ __ ] it. I'm just going to do things >> Do what you want. >> and I'm not going to worry about it and I have been enjoying it more doing that, which I think is how you're supposed to do it. It's just that people on the internet are [ __ ] weird. >> So yeah, you you you So what have you decided on? Are you a farmer, a minor, a monster hunter?

>> at the moment I've just a bit of bit of everything. I'm finding my place. I've done gone down to the mines and I've I've built myself uh a furnace to smelt some metal. And then I was like, let's try some fishing. I did some fishing. I've gotten better at the fishing mini-game, which is [ __ ] infuriating at first, but actually does get a lot easier. So [laughter] uh and then uh and then just I'm just pottering around. >> Okay. And that's what that game's really for. It's just uh >> It's I'm using it instead of scrolling on social media. >> Yeah. >> I'm just going to potter around in that, so. And it's been fine. >> That's good. It's good to get away from social media. >> Yes.

Uh and I mentioned I went and saw a movie. I went and saw Repo! The Genetic Opera. >> Oh, yes, you did. How was that? >> It's great. I mean [laughter] it's a movie from 2008, which it it ended and the credits came up and it said 2008 and I was like, that's not possible. 2008 cannot be as long ago as it feels like this movie came out. Does that Do you understand what I'm saying? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. That's almost 20 years ago. >> And this is what was actually Anthony Stewart head, isn't it? >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> But when you say when I see 2008, I'm like, oh, that's recent. It's not. It's not. And that hurts my brain. >> We're getting close to it being the 30s. We're doing that old man orgasm thing again. >> Yes. [laughter]

>> The point is it's a great movie. It Well, it's not a great movie, but you should see it. But that's why it's great is because it's it's an attempt to do something co- like different. It's like uh it's a musical um about a future where there's massive organ failure and this company called GeneCo rises to prominence because they can give you new organs except they charge a fortune so you have to do a payment plan and if you don't make your payments they send the repo men to get the organs. >> [laughter] >> And it's about a story that happens in that world. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. And it's great. And it's in theaters in the US at the moment for a bit of a revival. So if you can get a chance to go see it you should. Or just

watch it at home. >> I think the movies we've got this weekend here, I think they're doing the Spider-Man trilogy. >> Ah, interesting. >> So like the What's his name? >> Toby Maguire. >> The Yeah, Toby Maguire. >> Yeah. >> They've got that going on this weekend here. >> those ones. >> What shall we Oh, I get to go see You see what I'm going to go see next week. >> What are you going to see? >> I'm going to go see Scary Movie. >> [laughter] >> Yeah. >> I like those movies. I don't know why. >> I know why. They're funny. >> And Masters of the Universe. >> Oh, yeah. We've got some Masters of the Universe news. >> We do. We should talk about that cuz I >> Yeah. >> found this a bit strange.

>> Yeah, apparently Jared Leto has not been showing up to to Masters of the Universe press or the premiere or any of that stuff. He's just not been there and first people were like, well, that's cuz no one likes him. But apparently that's not true. It's cuz he doesn't like the movie. >> Which >> Allegedly, allegedly. >> I find this weird because [clears throat] he's also famous for saying he doesn't watch his own movies. >> Right. So would he be at the premieres? >> Yeah. >> I don't know. He's uh It's odd because right, he's been in some [ __ ] >> Yes. >> And he's gotten flak for being [ __ ] in some movies. Oh, well, I mean, Tron Legacy he was fine in. Um Morbius was a a laughing stock, but kind of a >> [laughter]

>> I I still laugh at that. It was a laughing stock twice. >> Yes. Um and then you know, he's in Appropriate Behavior and his weird [ __ ] with uh >> Suicide Squad. >> and all that. But But for this, apparently people are saying he's pretty good in this. >> Mhm. >> So, it's weird that he's If this is true, it's weird that that this is the one that he's not happy about. It's the one that he's actually good in. >> We also discussed last week that he's not really in it. >> Yeah, that's true. He's just doing a >> his voice. >> Skeletor's voice. I assume that's how he talks in this. >> Yeah, cuz it's It's not going to be It's not him in the suit there. It's

going to be computer-generated face. So, it's just his voice. >> Yeah. Yeah, weird. >> But yeah, uh so, is this known that he's not thrilled with it or is it just conjecture? >> So, let's see. A report from Puck News >> Mhm. >> as that he wasn't thrilled with the film, but not for the reasons you might expect. Indicate Leto was reportedly paid 5 million for the role and at Amazon's request is complying with remaining silent about his involvement. >> What? >> This isn't Hang on. Let me click through this article. This isn't making sense. >> No. >> Oh, see, I can't read this article because you've got to [ __ ] pay for it. All right, I have to go back to this summary that doesn't tell me anything. He's report He was reportedly paid 5

million for the role and at Amazon's request is complying with remaining silent about his involvement with the film. So, what does that have to do with him not being thrilled? >> Is it >> I'm confused. >> the same thing that maybe happened with Suicide Squad where he went on and filmed all this extra stuff? >> And so he did what he wanted to do and they were like, "Thanks, mate." >> [laughter] >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Maybe. >> [gasps] >> Cuz I could see him doing that again, just >> Not for the reasons you might expect. And then it just doesn't explain what that means. >> Yeah. So, is it Unless >> Unless Unless my reading comprehension is suffering today. >> No, I I've I've read that sentence about three times. It doesn't make sense. >> There's a bit There's a part of the story missing. It says he wasn't killed

but not for the reason you might expect and then it moves on. Okay, so we don't know why. We don't know why. >> I'll maybe look try and let you know why next week. >> Yeah, when you see it, right? >> Yeah. >> I might I It's hard for me to get to the movies. It's really hard. So, like I don't know. I I'd like to see it. I'm interested. I've heard it's very good. >> Yeah, [snorts] as I said, like I know last week a few weeks ago where I said like I started to grow on me. >> Yeah. Yeah, I know. I just thought it looked silly but then everyone's like, "You know, it's fun." I'm like, "Oh, that could be good then." >> Yeah. >> I guess if it's not It looked to me I was worried it's going to be silly but it's not doesn't mean to be silly. But

apparently it's just like leans right into that. So, okay, maybe that works. >> Yeah. I'll let you know. Oh, I'm I'm going to go We'll do a serious segue cuz I'm just having things pop into my head. >> Go on. >> Um Spider-Noir I haven't started watching it yet but I just saw it. I just saw it advertised just before we started recording and I'm Oh, I want to watch this but I don't know how to watch it. >> It's on Prime. >> I I don't know how to watch it. How's it work in Australia? >> Oh. Oh, oh, oh. Yeah, good point. Um I feel like >> Cuz I think both could be good. >> I feel like black and white I might do first. >> But even the color's not color. color >> know. I know. Yeah, you're right. You're right. Yeah, that's annoying.

Not annoying. It's cool that they did that, but it doesn't mean I'm probably going to watch it. Maybe not watch it twice, but skim it. >> Just skim just to see. >> [laughter] >> Yeah. I think I might do color. >> All right. You want to see Nick in color? >> Or maybe I might go episode to episode and just switch it up. >> Yeah, I'm very interested. I'll try and >> I've got so many my queue is just growing, man. >> I've got fun stuff to watch. What about season 2 yet I haven't watched. We started watching This actually some news about Jury Duty season 3 here. We started watching the second season. It's very funny. >> season of that. >> It's good so far. I've only watched like I think maybe the first episode. And I'm like, "Okay, this is good."

It's been renewed for season 3, but um they're it it's hard because everybody knows about it now. >> Yeah, you got to give it time between. >> Yeah, so they've got to apparently they've got to the new challenge is like, "The [ __ ] do you do now?" Like cuz the the the first season they did Jury Duty. >> Yep. >> Second season is like company retreat. >> Um >> Like what do you do after that? >> Yeah. >> And like it's so absurd. I feel like it's going to be hard to find people who aren't like, "Hang on a minute." >> Yeah. >> It's just so silly. >> No, and I think that's why they while it's been renewed, I think you got to give it a couple of years in between just for >> Let people forget about it. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I saw two We talked about the rehearsal. >> Mhm. >> Right?

>> Cuz I need to watch the season 2 of Rehearsed the Rehearsal. >> So, I won't spoil anything for season 2, but you know it's about planes, right? About flight safety? >> No. >> Oh, okay. Well, this is not a spoiler cuz it's it's the premise of the season. Nathan Fielder thinks he's discovered that and this appears to be the case based on the show. Mhm. A lot of crashes, airplane crashes, could have been prevented if the co-pilot had spoken up because the pilot did something silly or or made a mistake and the co-pilot was too like afraid or like socially >> Yeah, no. That can That kind of seems to make sense. >> goes through transcripts of flight logs from just before a crash and often he he he says like right here at this moment

if the co-pilot had just said no, my controls, you're out of your you're out of your [ __ ] mind or something. >> Yeah. >> It could have been prevented. And so the whole season is about how does he as a [ __ ] comedian with a show on HBO how does he try to fix this? And it's really funny and also quite clever. But it's got >> That's crazy cuz that would be a thing like you got your senior pilot there who's not going to listen to his junior. >> Yeah. >> And >> goes on the show like they do all of it they follow them around and they get them to reenact how they do things like they they don't talk to each other before and they don't know each other. You get assigned a co-pilot and a co-pilot. They don't talk before the flight. They just sit in a room

silently. And so yeah, it's it's really interesting. Um but as part of it they did a fake um you know like like The Voice or America's Got Talent or one of those like there's a show it's called Wings of Voice and they did it as a as an as a experiment for the pilots so they would have these co-pilots come in and then the the contestants would come in and sing and then you have to tell them no, sorry. You're not getting through the next round. And it was to see how they react in a stressful situation like that which I think is really cool idea except >> [snorts] >> except So I I won't I won't spoil that too much. But what I want to talk about is just that they didn't tell anybody it was fake obviously because it wouldn't work. And so now there's this whole

group of people that apparently they got the contact details for these contestants from people who auditioned for America's Got Talent. And then they sent them out and said there's a new one. Do you want to come on and audition for the new one? And a lot of people spent money to travel to come and be on this thing and then found out oh, it was a joke. Like like not a joke but yeah, it wasn't it is a joke. >> It is because there's no >> It's not real. >> progress their careers. You're not going to be able to >> It's not what they thought it was. And so yeah, I read an article about there's a a particular a lady who's a singer and she was on America's Got Talent and I forget her name but she's she's somewhat got a musical career and she was furious

cuz she spent she spent like like 10 grand going to this thing. >> thinking that hey, this is an actual >> Because her agent said this is an opportunity and then she said it wasn't an opportunity. It wasn't a it was just a social experiment. But I yeah, I'm like okay. So anyway, I just thought that was interesting. >> Mhm. I could I could see that being sort of annoying. >> Yeah, totally. >> Like it like it's yeah, you think this is an actual chance but I could also see why they did it. >> too. It's a bit embarrassing to be like tell cuz they told all their friends and family they're going to this thing and they progressed to the next round and they got all excited. And then cuz they they they played out the whole thing. They played out the whole thing.

>> You're getting a call back like it's actually this might be happening this time. I've progressed. It's >> And there was a winner. But if it doesn't it doesn't go anywhere. >> There's no contract. There's no nothing. >> I think they won a cash prize but like it's still it's like >> But that's not what they were there for. They weren't there to >> Yeah. >> They were there to become a star. >> I think yeah, it's very interesting. The it made me think oh wow, yeah. Like I love Nathan for you and and the rehearsal and I think Nathan Fielder's really really funny. But I was like, "Oh yeah, that is that's tough." >> Yeah. I could see why they did it though cuz you can't really just hire actors for for that and

>> No, and I again I'm like the whole the premise of the season is just so interesting that I was like, "Oh I get it." But I do feel like that's yeah, I would I'd feel uncomfortable doing that to people. >> I just but he can just do it with a straight face and not break. >> He's [ __ ] >> I don't know how. >> You got to There's stuff in this season that you got to watch it. It's it's pretty >> Cuz you think like with Cunk she can do the whole thing with straight face. No, she breaks all the time. >> Yeah, did you watch Last One Laughing season 2? >> Yes. >> Yeah. Yeah, she was good in it but she does laugh. >> Yeah, but Nathan Fielder he's he plays the entire thing like he doesn't break. >> into it. When something gets funny he he's like "Let's go." And he makes it makes it worse and worse. It's like, "How are you

>> He's doing He's doing it with people cuz if he breaks the whole thing's over. >> Yeah. Yeah, exactly because they'll know it's a joke. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> So I You would not want to see him on Last One Laughing. >> No. No. That actually that guy um I know uh spoilers. I don't want to say who won just in case people want to watch but uh I It's leave it. I've I've ruined it now. I can't say anything. I can't say anything. Watch Last One Laughing season 2. It's very good. >> Watch it. It's great. The UK version. >> Yeah, yeah, the UK version. I've seen it. >> like 20 different versions. >> Yeah. Um just quickly speaking of we're talking about Spider-Noir. Um Nicholas Cage this week uh So this is just quick thing said um Nicholas Cage said Christopher Nolan won't call him back because he uh he turned down

a role in a good movie No, no, hang on. What It was a specific one. Come on. What you [ __ ] movie was he supposed to be in? Insomnia. >> Insomnia. >> Very early on, Christopher Nolan's first film? I think Insomnia. Nicolas Cage turned it down. And now, when he calls Christopher Nolan says, "Hey, you got anything for me?" He doesn't call him back. >> [laughter] >> So. >> Which is weird cuz that would have been at Nicolas Cage's time of doing anything. >> Mhm. Yeah. Maybe that's why Christopher Nolan's like, "You know what? [ __ ] you, mate." >> Yeah. You You missed your chance to get on this. >> He said yes to this [ __ ] and not my movie. All right. Yeah, cuz I feel like if you're an actor working currently, you want to be in a Christopher Nolan movie.

>> You do now. But back then, it was different. >> Yeah. Yeah, I think after Memento, you'd be like, yeah, I'll say yes to this guy. >> Yeah. But yeah. >> I just thought that was funny. >> But yeah Yeah, it would have been I wonder what he would have signed up for instead of this. Maybe that's the the actual [clears throat] reason, just that like >> Christopher Nolan knows what he did instead. Yeah, exactly. [laughter] The the [ __ ] Wicker Man remake or something. >> [laughter] >> Yeah, terrible. >> Oh, there's a Madden movie coming out. >> Madden? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I knew that. Yeah. Yeah, with Nick the Cage. >> Yeah, I just saw it's on the trailer on here. I didn't know that. >> Mhm.

>> I'm not going to watch that. >> Um have you played Subnautica 2? >> I haven't. >> It's out. >> want to though, but cuz I played it through the first one. All right, I cheated my way through the first one to get the achievements. >> Okay, I've played the first one. I didn't play through it. Uh but I did play it and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Um so, I'm interested uh I guess in this. I don't know. I I say I'll leave it to time. So, we'll see if I get around to it. But, uh it does look good. The first one was good. >> Yeah. >> There's a There's a bit of controversy about the game because the publisher um delayed the launch and um basically there's this whole thing where it was seemed like they were trying to

get out of play paying them a $250 million bonus. Um >> Oh, yes. I remember hearing something about that. >> Yeah, cuz they like delayed the the game. But, and then they said, "Oh, well, you didn't deliver." or whatever. >> Yeah. >> And then um and then famously um uh the asked Chat GPT how to get out of paying the the bonus. And then it came up in court that they had asked Chat GPT specifically, "How do we get out of paying the bonus?" And it was like, "Okay, [ __ ] you." >> Yeah. >> So, um they the studio A judge has said they get the bonus. But, the court has not decided how much they get. >> Okay.

>> So, it may not be the full $250 million. >> See, here's the crazy thing. Like as a $250 million bonus, I don't think it's while I love the game, I can't see it making that much and >> Yeah, I don't know. >> warrants a bonus of that. >> Yeah. >> Just seems like a lot. >> I guess I don't know how much games make. At $30 Oh, here we go. At $30 a copy subtracting Valve's 30% platform fee, that's around 85 million in potential revenue for the month. Yeah, so that's like Does that seem like a pretty stupid >> Yeah. >> bonus to offer them? Like >> Yeah, I think that I think they've worked that out that hold on we've agreed to this bonus, but it's >> Like 85 million in the first month. 85 million in the first month.

>> Like that's not even what it would be. >> "Oh, yeah, I mean months you'll make it back." but the sales drop off after the first month. >> Yeah. >> Like They're not going to make They're not going to make Well, >> They'll they'll make it >> I assume they're not going to make 85 million any other month. It's going to go down. >> they will get the 250 million, but that's the bonus on top of what they've already been paid. >> Exactly. Exactly. Mhm. >> So, yeah, that was a Yeah, I think they just someone made a terrible decision because >> I can see why they asked Chat GPT how to get out of it, but still too late. You made the [ __ ] deal. Pay them. >> Yeah. Cuz yeah, I'm not saying Something like this is not going to be a great game.

It is. It's just not a mainstream game that >> No. No, right. >> Trigger quarter of a billion-dollar payout. >> The evidence is there. It sold 85 million dollars worth in the first month. That's I feel like 250 million-dollar bonus doesn't make any sense financially, basically. >> No. >> They they should have foreseen that. And apparently they did foresee it after they agreed to it. >> After they agreed to it and then were Chat GPT, I've screwed up. How do I fix this? >> Yeah. >> Cuz yeah, it's not like they're going to lose money on this deal even if they have to pay it out. They're just Their profit margin is going to be lower. >> They might. >> Uh >> [sighs] >> It depends how much money they'll paid up front.

Doesn't say on here. Oh, they're paid up an upfront price of 50 million dollars. >> Right, with the 250 million-dollar bonus. Okay, so what about 300 million total? >> Yeah, 300 No, no, they'll get their money, but >> might be right. >> They're not going to There's no profit there, really. >> Yeah, it's not a cash cow. By any means. >> it's not what they thought it was going to be. >> Mhm. >> I don't want to play it. I think it is on Xbox now. >> Yeah, I'm pretty it's out. >> in >> Mhm. >> I will find out. Subnautica 2 No, it's early access came on the 14th of May, but there's no achievements yet. >> Ah, so you're not interested. >> Dead.

>> Yeah, sorry. That should say it's in early access. But but like that these days that's that's the launch like game hits. >> Yeah. >> But also that they could be also trying to claim hey you you went early access. You didn't actually >> Maybe. Yeah, maybe that's another tactic, too. Yeah. >> And if they hadn't got to chat GPT, that might have been an actual >> Might have been a good >> argument. >> Mhm. Um did you want to have a rant? I saw something about Yeah, I would love for you to have a rant. I'm excited about it. >> I So on my phone, you know how you get news articles that pop up? >> Yes. >> There's this one that pops up all time from screenrant.com. >> Mhm. I used to like Screen Rant. >> They are all a week time ago.

>> They bait titles and >> bad. >> They're getting me so many times. Like there was cuz there'll be stuff I'm sort of interested in and it's sort of like oh, the next season of Buffy. We've got some news on it after Buffy been canceled. Oh great, what is it? They're releasing a comic book. No, you said the next season. You were talking You knew what you were talking about. >> Yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's intentional. >> time. >> It's intentional. >> So I have to block them cuz >> [laughter] >> They've done this to themselves. >> They're just hurting my heart all the time cuz I get excited. >> Yeah, it's intentional. >> this time it's not going to be. It's going to be something about the screen. No, there's a comic book coming out and

no, that's not what you said in the title. >> Yeah, Screen Rant had got so bad at this that I just ignore it now. Like >> I I have to now. It's just a >> They post so much [ __ ] and then they'll Not only that, it's like I understand why, right? They're trying to It's a business, right? And it's tough It's tough out there. People are blocking ads, you know, getting money or whatever, but just like there'll be an article or there'll be a headline and then you read the article The article is just like two lines and it's nothing. Like Like this whole like [ __ ] like, you know, the James Gunn comments on [ __ ] 9/11 or whatever. It's like, [laughter] "Oh." And you click on it and it's like you said, "Oh yeah, I was alive for that." Like >> Yep. >> [laughter]

>> Yeah. Like they do [ __ ] like that. Not exactly like that. >> But it's just constant. There's just so much stuff, but >> Just non- nothing burgers all day with really, really stupid headlines. >> But they're The headlines are just good enough to There might actually be some news I'm interested in. >> I mean, honestly, it just goes to show that whoever's writing them is good at their job and I hate them. >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> So, because of you, I'm blocking them completely cuz I I just It was the last straw this week. >> No, I used to ScreenRant used to be one of my So So the way that I get news to talk about with you guys and in general >> old spreadsheet and look at all the stuff in there.

>> depends on ScreenRant because they used to be good. Like >> Yes. And we >> I I subscribe to RSS feeds. I have an RSS feed reader and I That's how I get my news. I read websites that I like. I add them in there. Some that I don't like I don't really like Kotaku, but Kotaku has a good range of things. So, that's why Kotaku's in there. But I actually Like Sorry, Kotaku, if you're listening. I don't actually like your website because they do the same thing, just not as bad. >> Not as bad. There's still something there. And the thing is, we're not just going and reading the articles. We do put them in the show notes and put the links there. Like we're not just >> Yeah, exactly. Like if I get it from Like there's a ton of them in here from Kotaku. Like I'll link to them. You know. >> Yeah.

>> I Yeah, I have got no qualms about doing that. But, um >> nothing in here from Screen >> Screen got the Screen got the boot because they Yeah, pissed me off. >> Yeah. No, it just It's so tight like it was Buffy Buffy was the one that got me again because it'd been just long enough that the show had been canceled. We all knew it. It just been just been long enough that hold on, maybe someone else has picked it up or something like that. >> And I know what you mean they were hinting at. It's the Angel comic series, too. So, it's not even Buffy. It's just pissing me off. >> That's right. It wasn't the Angel comic books as well. >> No, I saw cuz I saw I saw the news. But, but when I saw it, it didn't it didn't lie

in the headline about it. It just said >> Yeah. >> Okay, yeah. I saw that news. >> Yeah. Yeah. Bastards. >> Yeah. >> Just getting my hopes up. >> Speaking of bastards, before we go Destiny 2 they've killed it and they've fired everybody apparently. Which is how video games work. >> Which is how video games work, especially a live service video game. They get >> I do think Yeah, I think the the weird thing about this is just that um they didn't I mean, I don't know how you would. You would I mean, you would tell the staff beforehand presumably. I don't know how far ahead of time, but but a lot of a lot of Bungie staff working on Destiny 2 found out Destiny 2 had been canceled and that they were probably going to be laid off when the press release went out. And I

was like, that's a bit [ __ ] >> They could have let them They do tend to do that cuz it's a >> Because if you don't, someone will leak it. >> Leak it. And we also We haven't actually canceled It's not dead yet. And we still want you all to keep working on the stuff we've got in the pipeline. >> Yeah, that's true, too. Yeah. And and also just just to to killing it is an exaggeration. The game will [clears throat] still be there and still work. It's just not going to have any new content. Like what it is now or at the end of uh June. There's a content update in June and then that's it. >> Yeah. >> That's Destiny 2. >> And that's the thing. Like they want everyone to keep working to have that final release cuz the second they

announce it and people find out, people are going to start well good thing I cut my resume up today and they're going to be >> Yeah. >> jumping ship and half-assing it again. >> Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that's fair. So there's some funny stuff that's happened as a as a result. There's a petition >> [laughter] >> demanding that Sony greenlight Destiny 3. Um which as far as I'm aware isn't a game that anybody's like pitched or anything. >> No. >> I'm not sure that's going to be you can't greenlight a game that doesn't exist. Like >> No. And I think the problem is is what and what we'll talk about last week as well is this type of game is not what's hot at the moment. >> No. That's true. >> Extraction shooter is and even Bungie's

attempt at the extraction shooter didn't go well. >> And not only that, the other funny news is that Destiny players are now review bombing Marathon >> [laughter] >> to murder that game so that Bungie will make Destiny 3 instead. >> Yeah, that's not how that works. >> Yeah, don't do that. Come on, guys. It's all very like silly and melodramatic. >> I I just in their head they think if they destroy this game that they're making, they'll go back and make this other game. >> And you'll be forced for financial >> fact that >> make Destiny 3. >> They'll go not the fact that invest stakeholders will go hold on, we're losing lots of money and we're being review bombed. Let's take our money out of this because

this isn't a good place to be. >> Yeah. Yeah. Well, this is this is unfortunately they say all gamers are all nuts. Well, >> Yeah. >> They are. Not a good investment, maybe. >> And that's the reason why like we'll never have a Half-Life 3 because >> Yeah. At this point >> what Valve did >> it won't be good enough. >> It was not going to be good enough. >> Mhm. >> Even if they had have Even if they had have done it 20 years ago, it would not have been good enough. >> We've got some Valve news, but we could do that uh in uh >> In the after party? >> The after party.
