[music] Multiple nerdgasm. >> I am going to apologize for my behavior today. [laughter] >> What did you do? Something >> um I went to the movies three times. >> Uh-huh. Okay, that's something. >> And when I go to the movies, I drink. >> Oh, all right. Okay. >> So, I've seen three movies. So just that's like what two and a half hours for the first one then like two hours for the next two. So I've been at movies like six and a half hours today. >> I see. And how many drinks per hour? >> I don't know per hour, but it's like four per four per movie. >> Jesus. All right. Do I want to ask how you get to and from the movies in such a situation?

>> I've you know those little kick scooters. >> Oh yeah. Okay. I I own one of them. So I ride that to work. >> You can use one of those. >> I can use one of those. I just hop on and off I go. You can use them with one leg. >> Yeah. Okay. All right. >> So I ride to work. I park there and then I walk through movies. >> Okay. All right. >> I could walk through movies, but that would take me like an extra seven minutes. So >> yeah, don't want to waste seven minutes. >> Yep. >> Also, their scooters are kind of cool. Uh for listeners or watchers who don't know, Luke does have both legs. One of them's just not as useful as the other. >> Yeah, the other one's pretty [ __ ] and I want to get rid of it. >> Yeah, he's working on that. >> I'm working on it. I just got to find the right surgeon.

So, I've seen a lot of movies this week. >> All right, let's I mean, let's start with some movie talk then. What have you seen? What I mean, you can choose the order. I mean, >> I'll go in order of what I saw them. >> All right, let's go. Scary movie. >> Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Anna Ferris is back. >> I love Anna Ferris. The actress who played her daughter is I it felt like it was actually her daughter like >> Yeah. Right. >> sounded the same with the way that she talism like acting like all hands down. >> It's a scary movie. Movie. >> Yeah. It's I mean I you made it sound like just oh you know the the actress who played her daughter you know so convincing such a great I mean it's [ __ ] scary movie it's like

>> I haven't even seen it and I I know it's going to be silly. >> I actually wish they had have gone further. I I think they sort of held back. >> Oh really? >> Yeah. So the Wayne brothers are back cuz they disappeared for a few and that was a bit of a joke throughout. Okay. They weren't part of a few of the scary movies, but it was just a scary movie movie. And the whole making fun of the whole reboot, not reboot, like the Did they call it a rebootable? >> So, it's not like a brand new, they're bringing like I know what you did last summer, but like they're bringing new characters in with the old and that was a whole bit of a joke to it, but it's Yeah, you can honestly you don't need to go to a movie to see a scary movie movie. No, the

first scary movie I watched uh I back when Dave and I lived in Eastwood, we were borrowing cable from upstairs to use their cable internet cuz this is this is in the 90s. Internet was not what it is now. Um these guys had fast internet and the alternative for us was dialup. Anyway, so I hooked up to and then I found some war's website and I downloaded and I watched a cam >> filmed version of scary movie. >> I remember when like like day one like now it's a lot different but back in the day like if you were to download a movie which is wrong but if you download a movie day one it was a horrible handy cam y >> people walking in front of it you could hear the audience. >> Yeah. Yeah. No, I was a horrible person. I downloaded a movie

>> and I watched it. Uh in my defense wasn't a great way to watch it. [laughter] I don't I think that's that might be the first and only cam I I ever watched because [ __ ] that. >> I've seen a few cams and I just what what is the point of them? Like how are you enjoying watching it like this? >> That's terrible. Especially if it's like a movie you really want to see, which I mean I >> I'm fortunate enough that I could just go to the movies if it's a movie I really want to see at the movies, but like you know what I mean? Like >> Yeah. >> Then if it was like >> Project Hail Mary or something like why why would you watch a cam of that? that >> or like Superman or something where it's like >> just ruin it. >> Yes. Um >> people do. >> But yeah, so so I saw that.

>> All right. So Okay. >> Yeah. >> All right. >> Second movie I saw He-Man or Masters of the Universe. >> Go and see this movie. >> Okay. >> It is fun. It makes fun of itself, but not in a over-the-top way. Okay. All right. >> Like um slight spoilers but not really >> for the [ __ ] He-Man movie. >> Yeah. So, you know, like the characters were called like Fisto and >> Yeah. >> Ram Jam and all this stuff. Ram. >> Well, in the movie that's just that Adam's made up in his head that he's remembering from these people that he grew up with. So when >> Oh, all right. When he goes back to >> Eternia,

>> back to the planet Estonia. >> Estonia. >> Etonia. >> Yeah. Estonia. >> Eternia. >> Estonia. Eternia. He actually go, "Oh, there's Rayman." And he's, "What did you just call me?" >> Oh. >> And it's actually sort of making fun of like they were ridiculous names. >> So that that's not his name. >> That's not his name. They were called >> they don't I don't remember them going into that but it was just like what did you just call me? >> He doesn't never say what's your real name and then he says it's Jeremy. >> Like it's also like fisto like and he's what cuz you you fished people >> my name's Michael. >> So yeah. No, that's it was actually I think it was quite good how they actually did that joke like they

>> sort of made light of it but >> no it was a great movie. Jared Leto >> didn't actually realize he was in the movie. >> Yeah, I seen a clip. It's the it's the clip that's going around to show you Skeletor and it's uh it's got some of that comedy in it. There's a bit where he's, you know, he's when his fist is up, that means it's he's finished that that scene, whatever it is, that's going it's >> Yeah. >> going around. >> Yeah. >> And you can see the >> I think you can see the tone of it pretty well. And >> I don't know. Yeah, exactly. I don't know why it's Jared Leto like >> Yeah. Like I don't know why they cuz they would have paid more for him to do the voice than >> uh I I don't want to sound bad like say

a normal voice actor, but another voice actor. >> Sure. But they would have paid more for the name recognition. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> But I don't think he added anything to the movie [clears throat] >> and cuz it's heavily affected from what I heard like the it's not like he's doing a just it's just him doing a voice. It's him doing a voice and then they've also tweaked it. >> Yeah. You don't actually hear Jared Leto. You hear Skeletor, >> right? Hey man. But look, I I actually am really hoping they make a sequel. >> They How's it doing? Uh, let's see. He man box office. It is losing power. What does that mean? >> Well, pointing. Okay. Well, >> oh, >> look.

>> Oh, not good. >> What? It's pulled in. I'm rounding up here. This is Google AI. I'm rounding up here. It's pulled in 30 million domestically and 55 million globally, but it cost almost 200 million to make. That's very bad. That's very, very bad. But it was a good movie. >> 22 hours ago. It is a flop, man. >> Oh, that's kind of sad. >> H >> cuz it was sort of fun. Like it was even a little bit of Well, not really. You can't really spoil this, you know, like at the end of like a He-Man cartoon where they all sort of do that big laugh. >> Yeah, >> they did that at the end like the other characters in the background like doing

that type of laugh for a silly joke and it was just >> fun. >> I mean, I'll watch it. Sounds fun. Uh >> yeah. Okay. I guess I mean it's a hard cell. I think I wasn't interested in this. If you hadn't literally if you're not you're telling me right now >> I should go see this. It's fun and I'll probably enjoy it. >> Yeah. >> If you hadn't, I wouldn't have bothered. >> Yeah. Well, as I said, like when they first announced it, like it has grow. If you go back and listen to the other episodes, I went, "This is stupid. This looks stupid." Then >> hold on, it's starting to grow. And now I'm I'm all in. Like it's >> Yeah. Well, you've seen it and you're all in. >> It's sort of the the audience. I think

it's a hard cell because it's not a the audience is us. >> Yeah. Kids don't wouldn't know what this was, I don't think. >> No, >> unless there was that series, right? The Kevin was the Netflix one, which I still think was aimed at us. >> Yeah. Yeah. It's like the X-Men one. It's like the sequel to the X-Men one we watched. Like, do kids watch that or do do people like us watch that? >> Yeah. because like yeah the X-Men like 97 because like we grew up watching that and it just >> at the time I didn't actually know it didn't end. I thought I just didn't see it because >> well cuz we lived in a we grew up in Australia uh where you didn't get to choose what you watched. You watched what was on television. I've

[clears throat] not seen all of the episodes of most of the things I watched as a kid. >> No. And it wasn't until they actually came out and go, "Oh, we're going to actually finish this that I found out that oh you didn't finish that series." I thought it was just Yeah, we didn't get >> Oh, it had a had a plot, a through plot and like Yeah. >> Yeah. Like things like Transformers and all that. I mean, I know Transformers I don't think had a through plot, but they would just literally just throw random episodes of [ __ ] on. >> Yeah. And you might see the same episode within like 3 weeks of each other cuz they did not care what they were putting on. >> Yeah. Very often the same episode was on most of the time because I think they only paid for one episode or something.

>> Yes. cuz it was cheaper because we were just buying it from America and >> free to air television in Australia in the 80s. >> But yeah, look. Hey, man. Look, I I'm I'm a bit upset that it's not doing well cuz it was >> Yeah, go see it. Should have seen it four times today, Luke. >> I should have cuz it was a long movie as well. It's like two and a half hours, but also didn't feel like two and a half hours. >> Yeah, right. two and a half hours. >> Like you know when you go to a movie sometimes you go like >> oh yeah >> you feel it. You go like >> oh yeah. Is this going to be over soon? Yeah. >> Yeah. Do not feel it with He-Man. >> And then that brings me to today. >> Okay. Wait there. Okay. There's a movie that's not in here then. >> Yes.

>> All right. I'll wait. >> Three movies today. >> I'll be patient. >> So I started off I woke up at a sensible time for a change. >> What time was that? May I ask? 9:30. >> Okay, that's pretty good. >> Like it's pretty good cuz like for the last >> that's a sleep in for me, but that's pretty good. >> Well, like for the last like I don't know how many months I've been waking up like at 6:00 p.m. type of thing. >> Yeah. Right. >> Actually, there was a weekend recently where I I I woke up at 9:30 and I was like, "What year is this?" Because [laughter] it just never happens. >> Well, [snorts] it's not that I'm sleeping in. Like I'll wake up and I'll throw a YouTube video on and I'll go back to sleep and then I'll It's more

the I'm enjoying the dreams I'm having. So I'd like to prefer dreams. >> You're a man of leisure. >> Yes. [gasps] But I saw disclosure day. >> Okay. Okay. >> So as we all know I am not the biggest Spielberg fan. >> No. in particular. Well, there's a movie that he made that people have linked to for obvious reasons have have have likened to this one. >> Yes. >> And you don't like that movie? Close Encounters. >> I don't like that movie. And I did not see any bake uh any mashed potato in this movie. So, I don't know where they're getting. >> That's the only thing you remember about Close Encounters is that he builds a a a mountain out of mashed potato. >> There was a lot of mashed potato. Was it just like

>> it's a big monument. It's a big volcanic. >> Who has that much mashed potato at a table for three people? >> When you are trying to build the Devil's Monument or Devil's Tower, what the [ __ ] is it called? I've got a >> Devil's Mountain. >> Devil's Monument. Devil's Tower. Yeah, >> Devil's Tower. Yeah, >> I've been there. I've got not supposed to admit this, but I've got a piece of it somewhere on the shelf behind me. [laughter] >> Fell into my pocket. Have you reconstructed that piece of mashed potato yet? [laughter] [gasps] >> Maybe. [snorts] >> So, >> I'll eat the rest of it. [laughter] >> But one thing I have found out is spoiler. I'm going to give a big spoiler for the end of the movie.

>> Spielberg is a fan of Zelda, >> is he? >> Yep. That's what that whole movie was leading up to. Spielberg coming out as a fan >> of Zelda. >> Of Zelda. >> Zelda the princess or the legend of Zelda the video game. >> One of the fairies in one of the games. That's all [snorts] I'm saying. >> Na'vi. >> Yes. >> As in I think James Cameron is also a fan of Na'vi. >> Get it? >> So that's all I'm saying. That is the >> Look, I >> someone say, "Hey, listen." Is that what this [laughter] is about? >> Yes. [laughter] >> All right. Okay. Listen. And that's what I've just turned it into. Yeah. He's just a huge Zelda fan. That's what this movie was about. >> Did you like the movie?

>> I think Spielberg, you don't like him. >> Is Spielberg not a I didn't mind the movie. It's the ending I didn't like, which I can't get into because it's just come out. >> Yeah. >> But it does feel like he's taking notes from Nolan. [laughter] >> All right. All right. Well, well, I'll translate that for anybody who's not familiar. Luke [ __ ] hates Christopher Nolan's movies because >> at the end sometimes you have to decide for yourself what happened. Luke likes to be told. Specific example is at the end of Inception, even though I've told you now what Christopher Nolan said about it. Um, at the end of Inception, >> it's unclear whether he's with his kids or not or whether it's a dream. >> Yeah. However, Christopher Nolan did answer that, but

>> he shouldn't have to come out and say that after the movie. >> He didn't come out and say it. >> Somebody uh somebody asked him. >> And I also think >> I I question I don't question that that's that anecdote, right? There's no reason this >> there's no reason that they would lie about this. >> No, >> but I do question whether like that's actually like that. I don't think there is an answer, right? If it's not in the film, >> there's not an answer. It doesn't really matter what Christopher Nolan says. It's like when >> he wants you to. >> It's like when Ridley Scott comes out and says, you know, some decad was a replicant in Bladeunner and then Harrison Ford comes out and says he

wasn't. It doesn't matter what they say. >> It's not in the movie, so it doesn't matter. >> Yeah. So, and yeah, it's that. So, yeah, it's the ending is a Look, I didn't mind it. It was was an okay movie. It's a movie I will see once. >> Sure. >> I'm done. Never going to see it again. >> Emily B. Good in it. I've seen reviews that say she's good in it. >> Oh, no. She was good in it. I I enjoyed her in it. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> You know what? I don't even know. >> Um, was it Colin Ferrell? Was that >> Oh, yeah. Is he in it? >> Yeah. >> Colin Furth. >> Furth. Sorry. I knew it was a Colin. >> I don't know any of these people. >> Colin F and Elmery Blunt. That's all you need to know. >> Yeah, I'm getting old. I don't recognize actor.

>> No, I don't think a lot of the act lot of people in I did not recognize except for those two. >> Yeah. Right. Well, good on Spielberg for branching out. It's not just Harrison Ford. And uh >> look, I will say >> you like Indiana Jones, right? >> Yeah. What? Yes, but >> I will say hang around for the credits. >> Mhm. >> Not for there's any after credits or anything. It's just the score by John Williams is amazing. >> John Williams did this. >> Yes. >> Oh, there you go. I mean, there's a reason to go see it, isn't it? >> There you go. >> And so, yeah, like listening to the end, just watching the credits, listen to music, that was that was good. like it didn't and I cuz I knew there wasn't going to be an end credits cuz Spielberg

doesn't do that. Like even when he did Ready Player One, which is meant to be a whole take on >> everything. There was no after credits, which means that's where I went. Like he doesn't even understand people anymore. So, >> well, let me ask you this. I know you're not a big fan of his, but people are saying this is his best movie in a very long time. Would you agree with that? >> I would agree with that. Yes. cuz there's not many. It's What was the last movie he's done in a >> uh The Fableman >> was it? No. >> Director director previous. Yeah, the Fableman's. >> Yeah. No, I never saw that. >> Um Marcus Mumford Cannibal. Oh, it's a music video. >> Ah, the [ __ ] that is.

>> Why is he directing music videos? >> Is he that hard up for cash? >> Somebody asked him to maybe. Oh, West. He did Westside Story. Missed that. All right. Uh and then um and then Ready Player One. >> Oh, yeah. So, this is by far his best movie in a very long time. >> I forgot the BFG did. Well, there's a bunch of stuff in there that All right. Then you get back into Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and then and then Munich. Munich is good. War of the War. >> Yeah. Okay, look. I I'm still going like his good to bad movie ratio is not the best. >> Nah, maybe let me look. >> I even still go back to Jaws. I think Jaws he is lucky that is a good movie

because the shark didn't work. [laughter] >> I think if the shark worked that would be a worse it would have allowed him to make decisions he wanted to make. Yeah. >> Yeah. I was talking to someone about this the other day, that um episode of Columbbo he directed. >> Mhm. >> It's a very good episode of Columbbo and I would uh I'd recommend people check it out. Go see Disclosure Day and then go watch an the episode of Columbbo. >> Well, also I do sort of call a bit of BS when directors coming to do a special episode of shows because a lot of time the shows just run themselves. Well, >> although back then maybe not, >> you're right. Well, okay, he hadn't done anything before before this except TV series, right? So, like if you look at his IMDb, Columbbo is is right before

Duel, the movie that made him famous. >> Yeah. >> Like same year. So, I think it was more a case of he was >> just working as a director. He did a few TV shows and stuff and then he became the guy who made Jaws like >> four years later >> like with the like the CW shows like with Supergirl and stuff they've had like guest directors like >> responsibility stuff coming in and it's also but they're just coming in to just be there for the day. Everyone knows what they're doing. Like they're just there. >> It's interesting, right? Because Yeah. because like if you're Kevin Smith Kevin Smith has a style I would say like whether you like it or not. And so to get him in to do a show that has a style of its own seems weird because you've gota he's just got to make it like the show.

>> Like the show. Yeah. So while he maybe put a bit of a spin on some things, I think they're just >> it's there for them to get a name sometimes just to go, "Hey, we've got this guest director on." But >> unless you're going to let them do >> it their way, like their style, but they don't usually. >> No, because it's got to fit in. You can't in the middle of a season go, "And now we're going to completely change the story and do >> Yeah. Or just actors will start talking like they're in a Kevin Smith movie kind of thing." >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> So, but look, >> I'm with you. >> Back to disclosure. Look. >> Yes. >> It's It's okay. As I said, Spielberg's a fan of Zelda, especially

Na'vi. >> He also came out this week and said he thinks aliens are visiting Earth. So, um, okay, he's lost that. >> A lot of people, there is a lot of people on the internet who are thinking that this was uh they're getting Spielberg to are about to come out and announce. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Well, the White House does did put up recently a a a website about aliens. I'm not joking. Can you guess what it's actually about? >> I I have invading. They're invading. >> They're invading. >> I have a feeling that they're like people that are south of the border mainly. >> They're invading. They've been here all along. [laughter]

>> The thing I quite like about quite like [laughter] All right, we got to get a little bit political is everyone is Trump's doing all this to protect our borders. Whereas if you go back and Obama and Biden deported more than he ever has. >> Yeah. But they didn't talk about it. >> Yes. >> Because that it was a negative for them, I guess. >> Yes. But for Trump, it's a plus, but he's also doing less [laughter] than what they did. >> But everyone believes that he's doing more. >> Yeah. Yeah, but it isn't he actually at Didn't he just have a big birthday party at the White House or something with the UFC there or something? [laughter] >> Something like that. Honestly, I stopped looking. I cuz it's Yes, they built a

big uh a big UFC arena on the lawn at the White House apparently. It was very very controversial >> because it's like the [ __ ] are you doing? Like you you've got everyone struggling with money and gas prices and all this and then you're just [laughter] building an arena to have a fight in front of the White House. >> Yes. And then he was there was some I think it's America's birthday celebration thing and uh a bunch of basically every band one band said I'm not going to do it. And then oh because they announced >> Oh yes. Yes. Okay. I think what happened is they announced all the acts without actually asking them >> and then and just said all these people are going to play and then some of them

said no and then all the rest of them said well we have to say no now because everyone else said no. From what I heard, it was a little bit different that the axe had actually signed on thinking it's just going to be like a hey4 thing and then it became >> pro Trump thing and they've gone no we were just celebrating 250 years of America like we're not getting >> I think because it's and it's now it's become even bigger thing where it's like people I I think it was not even necessarily pro or anti Trump in a way. They're just like, "No, no, I just don't want to be involved in anything like that." Like, >> yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> But anyway, back to my movie review. >> Back to movies. >> I saw another one called

>> Back Rooms. >> Yes. I've heard that's very good. It's directed by a YouTuber. >> It's It's not. >> It's not. All right. >> It's It's not I don't understand the movie. >> I think it's the highest grossing horror movie of all time currently. >> Well, it'd be high grossing because I don't think it cost a lot. Yeah, that's Yeah, good point. >> Yeah, >> it's the same way like remember the first >> Ice Grossing A24 movie. >> Yeah. So, like remember like the first Paranormal Activity like that for the Blair Witch $20,000 to make or something like that was a >> Blair Witch was like made infinite money because it was like negative money. [laughter] But yeah, back room. I I think I'm I don't actually understand what the movie

was about or how it ended or the middle or anything. >> Well, see, this is like a internet meme that they've made movie. So, maybe that maybe you're just not >> Yeah. >> into it like >> miss the internet meme I think because >> Yeah. Like because I mean I don't fully get it but the back rooms is like this concept of like the reality behind reality kind of thing. >> Yeah. So, it's sort of like >> these this guy finds he goes through a wall and he finds this room and it's sort of like >> a bit like real life but not and then he sort of like it's a memory of a memory type of thing. So, you see people that they're not quite what >> Yeah, I think >> it's like the scaffolding for for reality almost. >> Yeah, >> that's my understanding of it. Like I

said, I've seen the movie and I I haven't followed it, but it's like, you know, when you say you're at like a movie theater and then you open a door and then all of a sudden you're in like a corridor and it's all the offices and [ __ ] and it looks just looks completely different to the movie theater and it's >> which is all dark and Yeah. And then you walk in and it's Yeah. >> But look, um, >> don't pay to go through the movie [laughter] just that A24. [ __ ] you. [laughter] [gasps] >> So that's all I've got to say for that one. I just didn't understand it. And the other movie >> scary. >> No, because I did not understand [laughter] it. >> I suppose hard to be scared if you don't know what's going on.

>> Although that can be scary sometimes. >> Like I was expecting sort of like jump scares. >> Scare you because you like you're an old band now and you just don't understand things. >> Didn't understand. >> But look, the last movie I saw today was Obsession. obsession, >> which is basically a guy makes a wish that he wants this girl that he really really likes to love him more than anyone else in the world. Oh, >> okay. >> And actually, I quite like that. It was so I think it's been out for a while, so I'll give a few spoilers for this one. >> It says, [snorts] >> "Oh, so plenty of time then." I don't know why it's at my movies now then. But so he makes a wish and the girl starts off all nice and fine but then she becomes obsessed like you can't leave me

like you can't go anywhere like >> like at one stage she like duct tapes doll out like >> oh if you're having trouble getting out you can just not go to work and stay here with me and then he goes no no it's fine I'll go and then she stands there and waits for him and pisses and shits herself just standing there waiting for him >> nice >> but then you also find out that it's not actually her. >> And I wish I had have gone bit more into that side of it, how she's sort of the person that has sort of been replaced. >> Interesting. >> So that person's been dragged away to somewhere else and she's >> and I wish I'd have focused a little bit more on that. I think that would have

made a a better movie than what it was. I did enjoy it. >> Yeah. >> All right. [snorts] >> And it was nice. Like one time like they're asleep and he goes he gets up to leave and then you hear while she's asleep she's like please kill me. >> Right. >> And but it's like and she's sort of it's the real Nikki. >> Right. Right. >> Like the person that you've been with is asleep now. I'm you've not been with me. Please kill me. I don't want to >> Yeah. Right. >> Doing this. And no it's actually Yeah. No, I actually quite enjoy it and I highly recommend that as a movie to go see. >> Not maybe not movie worthy, but definitely you should see it. You should watch it. >> Okay. It came out in May apparently. I don't know why it says 2025. Oh, is there two of them >> anyway? What? >> Maybe. No, no. There's there's a recent

one. And I I I think to me there's an alternate ending. >> Oh, yeah. >> So, in your head or in my head. Should I go for a spoiler for this ending or not? >> Oh, I don't know. >> Go skip ahead five minutes if you don't want to hear the >> spoilers for this. >> All right. >> Yeah. Next thing. >> So, at the end of the thing, like at one part they say like like if you want the wish to end, you basically need to kill yourself cuz she's going to keep doing this, >> right? >> And this is where they go like do you want to talk to her? And you hear the actual Nikki like screaming in the background. >> Right. Right. >> And that's the real person. But at the end of the movie, you hear he does

attempt to sort of take his life, but then sort of throws up the tablets and stuff and but you hear her make a wish, >> right? >> And you start to see that he's starting to come out and go, "Yep, we're going to be together forever." But then he dies and then she breaks free of the curse and she's screaming like, "What the hell is going on?" I think it would have been I would have liked to have seen them both go, "Yep, we're now in love, going to be together forever." I would have liked to have seen where those two characters actually ended up in their sort of hellscape, not in >> because they've essentially been replaced. >> Yeah. Right. Okay. So, like if the they both did the wish and then it was like these two

cursed things, whatever they are. Yeah. >> Demons, whatever they are, >> zombie versions of them. >> Zombie versions. >> And but then I'd like to also see what happened to the actual versions of themselves, [laughter] >> like what's actually happening to them in the background >> because I know that she was basically saying like this is not her. This is like >> I want to see what was happening on that side of >> the Wish demon type thing. >> That's just me. >> So that's that's it for my movies reviews this week. >> Wow. You have seen a lot of movies. >> I have. And I'm not going to go see another movie for two weeks. >> Yeah. Right. Okay. Two weeks. Why was that coming out in two weeks? >> Supergirl. >> Supergirl. Right. Right. All right.

>> Although I did see a trailer and I'm saying I just got to say this. I like your McGregor and shorts. >> Wait, what? [laughter] >> There's a trailer that I've seen a few times now. It's called The End of Oak Street. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I've seen that. He's even noticed that you and McGregor's in shorts in that. >> Yeah. You McGregor is wearing shorts. That's what I'm saying. I like it. >> Okay. Ean McGregor in shorts. >> I think Eil McGregor would have been a very attractive man in the 70s. >> I Googled it and uh there are pictures of of him and Anne Hathaway and uh people have also Yeah. noted that he's wearing shorts. So there you go. >> Yeah. >> All right.

>> I don't know when that's coming out, but I'll go see that as well. But yeah, that's my movie reviews, which I don't normally do movie reviews apart from >> I liked it. I think I did well with these ones. >> Yeah, I >> actually had things to say. >> No, I was I'm uh I'm I'm excited to see uh He-Man uh and and Disclosure Day. >> Yeah, >> based on your uh your discussion, even though I know you're not a Spielberg fan and I >> I'm not. But >> I'll hold off on back rooms. >> Yeah, back rooms. I I think it's because I don't understand the internet thing of it because it's >> Yeah, >> it's the same as um >> it's a very Christopher Nolan concept, >> but it's the same as um other YouTube movie that came out a while ago by Markiplier, Iron Lung. >> Yeah. Yeah.

>> I went and saw that and I did not really understand it at all. >> So, game Yeah. A game where you're in like a submarine and the ocean is blood or something. Yeah. And you're taking um >> not photos, you're taking x-rays of things. And yeah, >> I think if you knew the game, it might have been good, but without knowing >> that part of it, it's Yeah. >> All right. Well, uh there a little bit of Stephen Spielberg, James Bond news. >> Oh, really? >> Yeah. In the past, people have uh said, you know, Spielberg should do a Bond movie because people like Indiana Jones, I guess. >> Um, and I mean, the news is simply that Spielberg came out this week and said

that he pitched them >> uh quite a few times >> and they always turned him down. Uh, but he said, "If they ask me now, his answer will be, you can't afford me." >> And >> I don't know. I reckon they could because he's had one like as we were just talking he's had like one good movie in how many years? >> Yeah, I I'm not sure they'd ask him now. But um so he's kind of safe to make that statement and I don't think I mean they've got Denny Vill. They don't need >> No. >> Yeah, they don't need to. >> Yeah, I think he's just I think he probably gave up on it long ago and he's just Yeah. Like whatever. >> Yeah. Yeah. I mean it might be true. Maybe they did. Maybe he did pitch him, but >> I could probably see him pitching especially like back then when like

>> I am going to say Bond >> when when Spielberg was at his greatest >> Bond was bigger than he was now is now. >> Yeah, I guess he I guess when maybe he pitched like the Dalton era. >> Yeah. >> Or um or Pierce Brosman. >> Yeah, he'd definitely be around there is when he would have been pitching, I'd say. And >> the Dalton films are good. >> Good. >> What's that? >> I like them. All I like Golden Eye. >> Yeah, Golden Eye is good. The rest of them I don't know, man. I had some rosecolored glasses on when I watched. Although I'll say I mean maybe I've already done this. I was surprised. My favorite of them is Golden Eye. Second favorite is The World Is Not Enough, which is the one I always joke about because or used to joke about I think

because Denise Richards is in it. >> Yeah. >> It became kind of a joke, but she's actually not bad in it. Like it's only because it's Denise Richards and >> Denise Richards especially at the time when >> Yeah. And it's like she plays a nuclear physicist and it's like she was just >> You're hot. >> Yes. like she was known for being hot and then she was like, "Yeah, she's a scientist and there's a Yeah, that >> Yeah, that's really the only reason that it was funny." >> Yeah, >> but like watching it, she's actually not bad in it. >> They call Sping um >> so they called him a few years later after release of Close Encounter to Kim

cuz he wanted to use the M movie's famous five note musical note. See? Maker. >> Moonrakaker. >> And he went moon raker. I got it right that time, didn't I? >> He said, "I'll make you a deal. I give you permission to use notes if you let me direct a Bond film." >> And they went, "No." >> Yeah. [laughter] I uh I had never put that together until I watched Moonrakaker on this rewatch. I think we talked about it when I watched it. >> The the the code that opens the door >> to the um the lab. >> Yeah. Is that from Is that in disclosure day? >> No. Well, not that I heard. It may have been a background thing that I missed like >> some sticky, but I don't actually I and I also may have missed where it did tie

into Close Encounters cuz I >> because you hate that movie and you've not rewatched it. >> I've seen that movie a few times. I just despise it. >> Okay. All right. All right. And then uh we've got some um news that's interesting to me, which is that uh George Miller has plans to do one more Mad Max movie and the TV series. >> Okay. >> And apparently that's it. He's going to hand it off after that. So >> I want him to make another game, honestly. >> Well, so you know, the game was originally supposed to be a TV series, but he couldn't get the TV series. >> Actually, the game was really good. I really enjoyed it. And I >> the interesting thing about the game to me is looking back at it now, it's got a

lot of stuff that is in Fury Road and Furiosa just done differently. >> Yeah. >> Like uh and he's not he wasn't happy with the game. I saw an interview where he said that he wasn't happy with it, but they took all his notes and everything and the game is based on >> his ideas for everything. So when you look at the game and then you look at the movies now, it's like, oh yeah, okay, they went in a different direction, but it's the same kind of thing. >> I wonder if it's he's not happy with the game because he didn't get to make his show at the time. >> Maybe >> cuz I don't see him being a big gamer for some reason. >> No, I I wouldn't have thought so. The thing that worries me about the film thing, I talked about this when I saw

Furiosa. I liked Furiosa, but I also think I specifically saw an article where somebody had convinced him to do more CGI tweaking of things and I was like, "Oh, okay. Yeah, he shouldn't have done that." >> So, I hope I hope I'm hoping he didn't learn that he should do more of it. I'm hoping he also wasn't that happy with it and he'll go back and they did Fury Road >> where it's just like all pract like you do need to have like some >> well the thing that annoy me the most is that that >> they said they filmed it all practically but then they convinced him to like enhance it and like move things around in the frame and stuff like that. And to me I think >> I my brain can tell when you've done that >> and I would prefer you just don't do it.

I will go back to a few of the things with disclosure day that I didn't mention is this the special effects on it. Um, there's one time you see a fox. >> Yeah. >> And it I don't know if it was just me, but >> it looked horrible. Like you could tell like CGI completely. like and it felt very out of place which felt strange cuz it wasn't like a >> I think they could have spent more time on it to made it feel more ingrained into the movie into the scene but it just felt like it was just thrown in last minute >> instead of I don't know we seem to have gone backwards on CGI for stuff >> I feel like that too actually and then I watch something like the Sonic movies which I have a friend who [ __ ] laughs every time I mention the Sonic movies

cuz I feel like Maybe I'm a little obsessed with them, but I I'm like, man, the special effects in Sonic are [ __ ] great. Like, >> well, I'm going back. I think the special effects in Jurassic Park Oh, yeah. >> were better than this fox in Disclosure Day. >> Yeah, right. >> Which >> interesting >> is insane when you go back to to Jurassic Park being late like ' 90s. >> Maybe the fox was like a late edition. He's not a main character, I assume. I don't It was No, no. I I don't think it was a late late thing. I think it was >> relevant to the plot. >> It was re It was relevant to the plot. It just looked terrible for some reason. And I don't know why they didn't >> I don't know throw enough of $10,000 at it. >> Yeah. Right. Yeah. Cuz my understanding of the Bad Max thing is that they still

shot like all the action sequences, but then >> they moved it around. >> Move things and like enhance things and Yeah. I don't know. I feel like you don't need like if I look at Fury Road which also had some CGI stuff in it and I wish it didn't because like like the bit at the end where the truck crashes and the like the guitar flies forward towards the camera that looks like the guitar looks fake as [ __ ] but they actually crash the truck. You can watch the video of it and it's like get that CGI [ __ ] out of the way. Like let me look at the truck. >> Look, I could see them maybe making like explosions a little bit like fire and stuff a little bit bigger. I can understand that, but that's but smash stuff into other stuff.

>> They inferior they blew up a tanker truck and just filmed it. Just do that. >> That's what I want. I just want you to do it because I feel like my brain can tell. >> But then but they did do it for Fudarosa, but then >> Yeah. >> And then move it around. >> That's why I was like, "This feels close, but like it's not this." Yeah. This it doesn't like I said, there's like an uncanny valley thing >> with when it's been >> tweaked like that. And then yeah. >> Yeah. I don't know. I think it it I just feel that special effects have just gotten lazier with CGI. >> I read an article that I don't know if it's lazier. I think it's like um there's just so many [ __ ] movies now that studios when they get hired to do the special effects, they don't have time to to like focus on it. Whereas in

some cases they do when it's something I think like Transformers when it's like >> uh a showpiece for the studio then you get the result is like >> the best you can get because they spend all the time on it. Whereas if you're hired to do like remember the Ant-Man movie that came out and everyone was like why does it look so [ __ ] Apparently, it's because the studio that did the effects was just overwhelmed with >> Well, I think if you still see a lot of it goes through ILM still like, >> right, but it's not like what I mean is like ILM is doing the Transformers movie versus ILM has been hired to do this >> to do this part. >> You know what I mean? Yeah. I I maybe that's got something to do with I'm guessing. >> Yeah,

>> I'm guessing based on some articles, [clears throat] >> but yeah, just Yeah, I don't know. CJ just seems to have got good and then got bad. >> Yeah. Yeah. I apparently from what I read it's because they don't have time to do it the to the the level that you would >> I could sort of understand cuz like they throw CGI into everything now even if it doesn't need it. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We'll fix it in post. >> Yep. >> Yeah. Anyway. Yeah. So George Miller's Mad Max movie. Cool. MX TV series. Also cool. And then he's gonna step aside. >> And he's gonna give it to >> Yeah. And might be geek of a week. [snorts] >> He's 81. >> Yeah. I'm just saying he's getting up there. So I can actually understand why

he's going like, I'm going to do this and this and then I'm out. >> Oh yeah. >> Like >> enjoy your retirement. I got when [ __ ] Fury Road came out and he had done like Happy Feet and a bunch of like [ __ ] It was like what is this going to be? And then I got to say Fury Road is still just like gold standard for [ __ ] action movies for me. >> Like incredible. like it's got CGI and stuff in it, but but >> yeah, >> like the you can tell when they actually crashed the cars, stuff like that. And you can go and you can watch the videos of the behind the scenes when they when they filmed it. And if you're wondering, >> like, yeah, they just crashed cars. Like that's why it looks so real because it literally is. >> But no, look, I'm happy that he sort of

like I'm doing this and then I'm out. Like it's >> Yeah, it's fair. >> Enjoy your retirement. And I think I wish more people would actually get to enjoy their retirement instead of willing about in wheelchairs for the rest of their lives. >> Yeah. In this case, yeah, sometimes I wonder, do they need to or is it just like a a drive that they have? >> Like Stan Lee, I think, got [ __ ] over. But did he need to be working that late in his his life? Well, it's sort of hard to know because cuz you got to remember like remember like Marvel was nearly bankrupt before the movie started. >> Yeah. And that probably >> I think he was loving it for a while. >> But was he rich out of that? >> Yeah. I don't know.

>> Yeah, fair enough. Good question. >> I know people got rich off of him. >> Uh I have a brief uh anecdote about my phone. You got a T1? >> No, I [laughter] No, I should have. I uh basically short version, if you have Apple Care, right, you can get Apple Care >> One now, which is a plan where you can keep stuff on Apple Care that should technically have expired. My phone is four years old now, but I'm able to keep the Apple Care thing on it because of this thing, >> this this Apple Care 1. And uh the reason I did that is because when your maximum battery charge capacity drops under 80% of the original like you know like you can only charge up to 80% of

what the battery once was. >> Y >> they'll replace it for free and >> with a new one or >> new battery. New battery. >> Oh battery. Okay. Okay. That's >> and I was like okay cuz I I don't care about the new phones. Um, >> no that those days are gone for us where we used to >> I mean we can talk a little bit about the new Apple stuff after this if you want. There is some I I won't be able to use a lot of the new stuff, but anyway, we get to that. Uh, so I took a phone in to get a new battery put in. It's an iPhone 14 Pro Max and it's filming me right now. >> Mhm. >> And uh, I took it in to get the battery replaced. They put it on a little thing. and they did some diagnostics and he said, "Oh, actually it's failed

uh some other stuff. There's one of the sensors for the the cell service isn't working. Is your cell service bad?" And I was like, "I don't think so." But he said, "Well, anyway, it's failed. So, we have to also replace the the mid section of the phone, which it means we also replace the back." And I was like, "Okay, so that's just like most of the phone." He said, "Yeah, really? They'll just just take the screen off >> and [laughter] use everything else." >> Says he put my screen on another phone. And I was like, "Oh, all right. >> Cool." >> Um, it's that's sort of weird because like do you actually use it as a phone? >> Not so much. No. >> So, that's probably why you haven't noticed that you've had like you might have been having cell phone.

>> Yeah. I mean, is that how the I guess it gets internet to it as well. Is that how you internet to it? I don't know. I haven't noticed any issues, but whatever. it failed some diagnostic. So, uh, so I took it in. So, they had to order the the parts for that and then I took it in, uh, and I gave it to them and 3 hours later I had no phone for 3 hours, which was very strange. I had no music in the car. Um, >> three [laughter] hours. That's a sad state of affairs when you notice a phone gone for 3 hours. >> Yeah. I handed my I I had to wipe it first because they were going to erase it anyway. I was like, I'll I'll just do it myself. I'll take it back up and I'll wipe it. So, I wiped it. I went to went in, handed it to them. I went to go and

do some stuff and it was just so many occasions where I'm like waiting in line. I'm like, "Oh, I'll just check. No, I won't. I will not. Oh, oh, maybe I'll look up." Nope, I will not. Oh, I should make a note to Nope, not doing that. Like, >> I'd actually have to be very careful cuz I don't carry a wallet with me at all anymore, >> right? >> All I have is my phone. So, if that was to happen, >> I'd be broke. I couldn't pay for anything or do anything. I'd be >> because even though because I'm in ACT again and I'm meant to carry my driver's license with me in New South Wales, it was an app on the phone. >> Yeah. >> But because [snorts] I got so used to not having my wallet, I just I live it on the edge without a driver's license. [laughter]

>> You've got one not carrying it. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> But anyway, so they were going to replace everything except the screen. But then when I went to pick it up, he said, "Oh, sorry." When he was doing the replacement, he damaged the screen, so we had to replace that, too. So, I have literally >> Did they replace it or just here's a brand new phone? >> It's from what I understand, I mean, it is a brand new phone because I the serial number is different. And when I got it back, it didn't work because it's not linked to my T-Mobile account. And so I had to call T-Mo from Jenna's phone and get on the chat or whatever and just con and convince them that it wasn't a scam because it's like I'm like, "Yeah, I need you to transfer my service to this." And then they're like, "What

happened to the old one?" And I'm like, "It's got the phone got replaced." >> SIM card or anything. >> That's eim. >> Ah. >> And and the eSIM was not on this one. It was on >> it's on whatever >> Yeah. >> thing they put in the trash or whatever they did with it. Um anyway, so that's my anecdote. I've got a brand new iPhone 14 Pro Max and the battery charge is it goes up to 100% now. The optimization is 100%. >> Which is maybe why they're doing more cuz I know my phone is very much a hey you put it on charge and we're going to do this special charging thing that it won't charge for the entire period. >> Ruins the battery. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. But uh WWDC was this week. Uh it was not a particularly interesting one. I didn't

even watch it because I knew it wasn't going to be the main thing. WWDC is when Apple announces all the new [ __ ] >> Um, >> new Siri is the the biggest thing. New AI. >> They finally released it cuz weren't they worried to not Oh, [laughter] >> and but they were careful this time. They got in a lot of trouble. literally got sued last time because >> they did this big video thing in in at WWDC where they said this is going to be the new Siri and they showed all these features of it >> that they obviously faked >> but that these are going to be the features. >> Yeah. >> Uh and then they couldn't do it so they never shipped it. I think it's a big thing. We have to actually thank Europe

for this because Europe came up with a lot of laws to go like you can't do this and you can't just lead people on and >> this is not coming out in Europe because of all the the laws and stuff. So they like can't release it there at least not yet because >> until they can give what they promised. >> Well, I think until because this AI stuff is dodgy. [laughter] They're not dodgy in a in like, you know, like you know, I'm sure people have used them by now. You know, you kind of have to like >> hope that it does what you want. >> It's not like a guarantee that you're going to get the result that you asked for. >> Yeah. One of the funny thing I I was thinking about AI just recently this last week and the fact that we don't

actually we've given up on like worrying about climate change and the environment now because >> well >> AI is there and we're just >> I don't know if it's given up given up but it just seems to AI just seems to have come along over the top of it and it just doesn't seem >> a bigger thing people. >> Maybe we solved it. >> It's probably what it is. >> I don't think we have because AI is costing a lot of energy. Like I've read articles where >> they've basically gone to some towns and gone, look, we're going to be devoting all your energy to these new data centers, so you're going to have to work something out. >> Yeah. There was I saw one the other day where something about there was like the taxes went up to pay for a new power plant to help with their struggling

energy supply and then they said no it's all going to this data center like all of it like you don't get any of it and it's like yeah that's fine. >> Yeah. You're going to pay for it all but you you get none of the benefit or you do >> you can use [laughter] exactly. Yeah. Yeah. So the new uh the new Siri runs on um Gemini. It's the Google AI, not chat GPT, which is what they announced last time. Because I think I think we talked about this. One of the problems with this stuff is that you have to kind of ask an AI to do something and hope that it does. Like it's not uh it's not predictable in a way that you would ideally want. Like you could say, "Can you um" Well, my example that I actually did was like,

"Can you recommend me some Formula 1 drivers to pick for my F1 fantasy team this year?" >> And it tells you drivers that don't exist or drivers that aren't on the teams that it says they are. And it's just it just the results you get are often questionable. And what like a famous example is if you ask chat GBT what is the population of a country, >> it will give you an answer. Yep. >> You then have to check if that's the correct answer because it just might have looked at the Wikipedia page and it told you the first number that it saw. >> Saw. And even if you call it out, sometimes you have to call it out like two or three times for it to go, oh no, you are actually right. When you said I was wrong. >> Yeah. I had to cla the other day. I said I I don't even remember the context, but

it was like we're talking I was asking it to help with something and it suggested something and I was like no, no, I'm not going to do that. And then later on it said, "Well, maybe we could go back to that thing you suggested earlier." And I was like, "You suggested that?" And I said, "No." Like, [laughter] >> see, I am working on AI for some stuff, but the AI I'm working on is like very specific. It's like here is your data source that you're going to be reading from. >> Yeah. You've got to be really specific. >> So, if someone asks a question, you read from these articles. That's it. Like, you don't go off and make something up. Here, here here is your data set. That's it. And what my playing around with that seems to work quite well, but that's because it's >> very specific. >> Yeah.

>> Like it's not go to the internet and >> right >> let me know what you think. And because when when the but they never launched the old Siri the the the first attempt at this but people were looking in you could see I think in the code the prompts >> that it was asking chat GBT and it's like this thing that you have to do where it's like okay >> please respond in uh you know in JSON format. >> Yeah. >> Also don't try to be funny. Don't do this. Don't do that. Please don't say anything racist. Like >> yeah, they had far too many rules for it to actually be useful. >> Like it's it like you just have to like say pretty pretty pretty pretty please don't do anything offensive. I am amazed that they're using Gemini now because

>> I think Google made the promises that they required regarding probably you know performance and >> it just seems reliability for like Apple for hey >> we're going to use a Google product so you might as well just buy an Android. The other thing there's been a lot of talk about chat GP in particular open AAI have [ __ ] a lot of people over um like Sam Alman was I talked about the article about how he's he lies a lot and I in particular like they screwed over Microsoft and a lot of these big companies. So I think maybe Apple's like you know what let's go with like yes Google's a competitor but they're a business they're a professional business and they don't do that kind of [ __ ] Like if you have a contract with them, they'll honor the contract. They're not

going to like weasle around it like no >> OpenAI keeps doing. So I think that might be why. >> Yeah, because also you got to look like if they're using Gemini, well that's what Google's using as well. So you can't really it's going to be sort of the same results you're getting across both. It's not going to be a >> like I go back to this might not be a onetoone comparison but remember when Google Maps and Apple Maps came out and Apple Maps was just completely useless. >> Yeah. [laughter] >> Yes. >> Now if they were using Google Maps at the same time well that's one to one like it's not >> Yeah. >> going to give you better now but yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. I'm >> not better than Google Maps. I think Gomez is still better, but like

>> I'm still I'm still also going back a long time ago that >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. And uh so the new series is a is powered by Gemini and uh it will it it's I mean you have to watch go read what it does. It's so many things like you can like take a photo and ask it what what's this and you can have it read you it does lots of stuff. I have been actually meaning to go and use um Gemini cuz I still need to go and upload my photos for my trip last year and I wanted to Oh yeah. >> Some of the things I wanted to do is like for some of the photos I went to some like beautiful places like Anchor Watt and things like that. >> Mhm. >> And I like to go hey can you just remove the people from this photo [sighs and gasps] >> and stuff like that. So, let's talk

about that because some of the things that this can do are photoreated >> and I don't know what I don't know where I draw the line on this because what you're describing I think is interesting and fine >> to a degree because let's say you have two photos of anchor watt. >> Yes. >> One with a they both have people in them but the people are in different positions. In theory, you should be able to stitch those together into one without the people because you can see the stuff that's behind the people in the other photo, right? >> Yeah, that makes sense. >> And and and when I'm taking photos, I'm like like taking a lot of photos at the same time, but when you go to somewhere like anchor, >> you're not going to be there by

yourself. >> No, no, no. Like I've got I've got when we're in Mexico, right? I have photos of Chichinita that it's just Jenna and I and that's because we got there like [ __ ] early and it was we got really lucky. But all the other places like um and that >> there's people [ __ ] everywhere. So yeah, it's just it's hard. But where I don't like it is when you have one photo and you say remove the people and it just makes up >> makes stuff up. >> That weirds me out. And then the other one is even worse than that where you say >> like or or like we talked about the one the Samsung one where you take a photo of the moon and it just >> just generates a moon. Like that's

[ __ ] stupid. Like I [laughter] don't understand. >> I don't understand why anyone [clears throat] wants that. Like Yeah, exactly. It's not a photo. It's like >> like Yeah, that that makes no sense to me. Like >> and then Apple have this thing now where you can reframe a photo like like turn the camera and stuff like that because and AI generates it and I'm like that's not a photo. >> No, it's not a photo. That's like Yeah. Like what I'm doing is I just want to >> make adjustments because I'm I can't use like Photoshop and stuff like that. I'm useless. I'm never going to be able to learn that. It's just those those little things like I've got a great shot, but I've got this one person that's caught

in frame. Can you just get them out of that frame for me? >> Yes. >> And so I've got this >> Yeah. >> Great shot. >> And ideally, I I think you would do that by providing it another photo. >> Another photo >> that has the stuff behind the person that they can put they can so they can do it >> based on reality, not make it up. >> Yeah. It's not like I've gone like past yep out of the car, here's a photo, and moved on and gone, "Yep, now I'll make it pretty." You know, I I want what I've taken just just >> because I feel like >> if if you're going to to if depending on the degree of it, it's almost like you could just say just make me a photo of me at Anchor and then just make have it make one and then out of nothing out of [ __ ] nothing. And it's like you could >> difference at a certain point.

>> Exactly. And that's not what I want. I want to >> cuz I was there and it was amazing but because it is such an amazing place like and it's like we're rated one of the top like five places to get the sunrise in the world. >> Yeah. >> So no matter what time you get there, there are people there and we were there at like 4:00 a.m. in the morning still pitch black and there were >> people everywhere. So, you're never going to get that >> one amazing shot that >> it's just you and the temple. >> Yeah. So, I just wanted to help me with that, but using the photos I took and me, not >> stuff up from other people's photos or anything. Like when they asked the CEOs about this, Samsung's CEO said they he thinks people want the memory,

not necessarily like like they're not super worried about the photo being literally the photo they took. They want to be able to look at it and remember what it was like having that experience. And I kind of get I can't Yeah, I kind of get that too. But my I also I just can't get past this thing where I'm like, "But I took a photo." >> Yeah. I want >> That's not a photo. That's just fake. Like >> Yeah. I want what I took. I just need some help to tidy up. >> Yeah. >> Some of the stuff. But use all the photos I took cuz I took hundreds. >> Yeah. >> Like it's like And yeah, I I It's a hard thing. But yeah, I don't >> No, I think it's weird. I I'm I'm going to have to I I I assume I'm actually

just going to get over it at some point because this is going to become so common. >> Well, here's the thing. We will eventually get over it. It's the same thing when Kindles came out. >> Okay. I mean, it's just not quite the same thing, but >> it is. When Kindles came out, a lot of people were, well, no, that's never going to replace me having a book. I'm always going to go to books. And then, >> yeah, >> the transition eventually came. And yes, people still like to go back to books, but the Kindle is >> sure, but I mean the I'm not opposed to the digital aspect of it. I'm opposed to the fact that that if the AI generates the thing, that's not that's not what was there when I was there. >> No, but I mean the whole thing of the

where where I think where the the Samsung guys come is like it's it's the memory that you're going for. And I think that's going to replace what we're actually upset about in the future. >> You're right. I'm just I just have trouble with this particular thing for some reason. >> It's kind of become the norm in >> very quickly unfortunately cuz everything's happening so quickly at >> I know. I know. I know. >> The reframing I show this demo of it >> where it was like and he was like moving the camera and you could see I just like ah that bugs me. >> Yeah. cuz that's not that's just making stuff up. >> It's just like Yeah, exactly. It's like it's it's inferring it based on what's in the photo, but it's not real. >> It might actually crazy thing is it

might actually be pretty correct with if you go to some famous places. >> Unless you know what, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it like takes a bunch of photos and does it based on reality. I don't know. I I just watched this demo and I was like, I don't like that because it's to me it's not >> we're in a different world to what your daughter is going to be experiencing in the next 15 years. >> To me, when I take a photo, I'm capturing a moment of reality. >> And when you start [ __ ] with it, I get uncomfortable. My I can't help it. It's like I think it's like the CGI thing in the movies. It's like I just feel like, no, no, no, just film the real thing. I when I travel now for like

my big trips, I have camera with film now. >> Oh yeah. >> I'm actually going to try and go just completely old school. >> Really? Okay. That's expensive now. >> It is expensive. And the camera I brought was very expensive for a very old camera. >> But but and I haven't even actually got them developed yet. I need to go and do that. But I'm actually going to try and do that a little bit more and try and because yes, I've got my I've got my DSLR and I've got my phone where I click click click click, but I want to try and take some photos that I'm just trying to capture like this moment and it's going to be on film and that's that's it. Like there's no >> no messing around. >> No messing around. And yeah, it was on

one of the trips I went on last year. There was a girl from England and she actually sent a photo like this is one of the photos I took on film >> and it was a great shot and it like >> and it was I think that means a little bit more because >> it's not something that you took 20 photos and managed to get one that >> that's thing too. I think when you when when when you only had what however many 25 photos or whatever you can fit in a roll of film, you were more selective and took more time to take a nice photo whereas now you're just like [ __ ] taking photos of everything. >> Yep. And and that's what I'm trying to look at and try and hope that I can capture some of those more special moments in that like I've got one shot at this because I'm not going to take

>> cuz film's expensive getting film expensive so I'm not going to take two or three photos. I'm going to take one. >> Yeah, just AI. You just scan it in and then have the AI fix it later. It's fine, Luke. >> Fix it in post. >> Well, look, if you need to pay that camera off, I think we're going to have to move over to the Patreon to the after. >> I cannot believe how quickly this episode has gone. >> It's cuz [laughter] we just This is one of those ones where I sometimes, this happens where we're chatting and it gets to the end and I'm like, "Oh, [ __ ] We didn't talk about much that's in the thing. People are going to hate this." And people always are like, "No, that was a really good episode." So hopefully that's hopefully that's the case.

>> Yeah, because I think it's just one of this is one of those which is very natural just fun which is these these are the types of conversations which led us to start a podcast to begin with I believe. >> Yeah. Uh there's still a lot of stuff in the spread the not the spreadsheet. >> Uh so we'll have to uh we'll have to talk about some of the stuff in the afterparty.
