This is Free With Ads, the podcast that asks the question, why pay max $10 a month to watch the Minecraft movie when you can go online for free and watch a video game movie that makes up for its lack of cutting edge special effects by having lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of characters. Just so many characters. I'm Jordan Morris. And I'm Emily Fleming. Today's movie is Street Fighter. Finally, you little, little piggies. Here it is. It's the 1994 video game adaptation starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dump Truck, as is it Guile?

Guile. I thought it was Guy for some reason. You know, it might as well be Guy. He's giving the performance of a man who's just called Guy. But no, his full name in this is William F. Guile. Oh, OK. Would you like? He's an American soldier with a thick Belgian accent

and a shaky grasp of English. It's so true. That's right. Just an all-Americany Yankee Doodle boy. And boy, they tried to make his hair blonde, didn't they? They tried. Yep, kinda. They kinda tried.

And hey, with us as always is the super producer, the he-freak, Matt Lieb, hitting us with those big old drops. Exactly. Matt, how dare you? Oh, wrong movie. I just kept watching it waiting for Goro to happen. Where's Goro at? Where's Goro? Where's Sub-Zero? We had Goro, but just with the normal set of human arms. Yeah, that's a really boring... That's right, there was kind of a human Goro in there. That's a really boring Goro.

Exactly. It just has less arms than Goro. That's regular. Matt, I like to, before we do the show, guess what you're gonna use for the drop, what audio you're gonna use for the drop. I was positive you were gonna do, Game over!

Game over! There it is, the greatest. You had it ready? I had it ready. I am I am I am not being like cheeky or cute when I say I think that is one of the greatest line reads in the history of cinema. Absolutely. No no hyperbole. Hey we obviously are champing chomping at the bit to talk about this movie. And one of the reasons we're so excited to talk about it is because we have an amazing guest here with us today to talk about Street Fighter. She's a host, she's a Twitch streamer you've seen on IGN,

Smosh, Nerdist, and the Mythical Society. It's Trisha Hershberger. Hi, Trisha. Yay! Hi, everyone. Thank you so much for having me for such an interesting movie to discuss. Wait, had you never seen it before?

I've never seen it before. Nope, this is my first viewing. I could not be happier. Well, yes, we're going to talk about Street Fighter and its dozens of characters. I have a question, though, for our guest. Oh, sure, yeah, please. Yeah, you know, should we start our hit segment Talk to Guest? Oh, right, yes, definitely. Talk to we start our hit segment? Talk to guests. Right. Yes. Definitely.

Talk to guests. OK, Emily, your question. OK, do you as a Twitch streamer, do people play Street Fighter? Like, do you play it? Do people like watching it? What's the deal? There are lots of people that play Street Fighter on Twitch. I am not one of them. I don't tend to be very good at fighting games.

And most of the people that watch to be very good at fighting games and most of the people that watch Twitch streamers who play fighting games are watching them so that they themselves can get better. Like they're looking to pick up some pro tips and I just, I can't hang like that. So while I love the Street Fighter franchise, of course I grew up like I think a lot of us being fans of a lot of these characters and I played as a kid. I feel like if you're going to make content around this game, which a lot of people still do and a lot of people still watch, you need to be good.

Yeah, that's true. I have watched Street Fighter on Twitch and I have traveled to see Street Fighter tournaments. I've traveled to watch guys play Street Fighter in person. What, where? Oh yeah, there's an event in Vegas, the Street Fighter Championship's called EVO, and I've been to it a couple of times.

It's like that last season, The Wizard. Does EVO play? God, wouldn't that be great? EVO and EVO. If they were the musical entertainment, that would be pretty cool. Right. Yeah.

That's amazing. Did you actually play in this tournament, or you came to spectate? No, I just came to watch. I'm not that good, but I mean, I could kick all your asses at sure. No, for sure. Oh, for sure.

Jordan, when you were there, did you happen to see, I hosted a tournament between Kenny Omega and DJ Mighty Mouse Johnson before playing each other in Street Fighter, and it was awesome. No, that might've been before my Evo time. I'm actually thinking about going back this year. Mighty Mouse Johnson before playing each other in Street Fighter. And it was awesome. No, that might have been before my Evo time. I'm actually thinking about going back this year.

Do it. I know, right? Do it. But hey, this is not about me and my problems. What? This is about my problems. It's about you and your fandom. We love to support the fandom.

The joy that I get from watching my video game buddies throw Hadoukens at each other. So Tricia, you don't play Street Fighter, you don't play fighting games. What kind of games do you like to stream? I play a lot of action adventure, RPG games. I'll do a lot of simulation. I'll do a lot of simulation. I'll do a lot of strategy. And so kind of a little bit of everything. And I like to play fighting games.

I just can't play them competitively. So I enjoy them. I just, I don't really make content around them because I'm not super competitive. But yeah, I mean, I consider myself a variety streamer. So I play pretty much everything that's out there. The only thing I avoid is uber realistic war simulators just because I don't have that power fantasy personally.

Like that's not where I want to escape to when I want to escape. But like no offense to the people who that's what they want. A real life conflict, it's in the news now. Get it. Our Reddit is like shitting a brick. I feel like I'm being judged. No, no judge.

You're a Call of Duty, you're like a Call of Duty guy, right? Yeah, I just, there's something very relaxing about just killing a bunch of guys with realistic guns. This is like- I don't know what's wrong with that. It's so family. Well for dudes, I guess it's this type of game and for girls it's, or for, you know,

women, it's for like watching true crime where everyone is dismembered and murdered. Yeah, you guys listen to true crime. I like to commit it on video game. That makes sense. The masculine and the feminine. Guys, we did it. We figured it out. Trisha, this is kind of, this is a daddish question.

Get it. But did it, was there a learning, was there like a learning curve when you were like, I'm gonna start streaming to like learn how to like be on and funny and compelling while also playing video games? To me, that's a walking and chewing gum thing. Is it challenging to be performance on but also trying to beat a video game? I think it would be if you are the type of streamer

who has a character that you do when you're on. I can see that being really challenging. But prior to becoming a Twitch streamer, because Twitch wasn't really a thing yet. When I first started creating content with Philip DeFranco and his channel Sourcefed, so I was on camera all the time, every day anyway, for years working for that channel.

And so it kind of just became like second nature of, oh, am I being recorded? Of course I'm being recorded. Like, because why not? Because life is just recorded now. That was my normal content. We're all right. Every everything was content.

Everything is recorded. So whether I was playing video games and being recorded or doing anything else in life and being recorded, it all was just kind of commonplace for me at that point. So for me, there was no learning curve because I just am existing and it's on camera and that's cool. But like I said, you know, yeah, but just chatting like I'm chatting with you fine folks today, similar thing, you know, like very low key, very chill. And of course, yes, you want to be interesting. But there's also some just nice slice of life moments. But like I said, if you were going to do

a full character or go kind of, you know how there's some gaming YouTubers that are just at an energy level 3000 all the time. Like if you were going to do that, I can imagine that would make it a little more tricky, right? But yeah, I'm just hanging out and enjoying video games. Hey, Trisha. That's contagious. Trisha, would you let some girl who's never played video games just hang up like behind you and go, what's that about? Why'd you do that? 100%. And you know, you know, you can join. That's normally the role my husband plays. Oh, cool. We can hang out together and do it. You two can hang out and ask all the questions you like. Throw in that door. What's in this drawer over here?

Yup. I love it. I am all in favor of that. I would, I would, I don't know if there is a way to do this. Could we set Emily up to stream classic Sega Game Gear games, which I think is the last video game console you had, right? It's the only one I had, but my sister got like the cube or something. My sister was really into it. The cube? You're talking about GameCube.

GameCube. Your sister got put in cube from the movie Cube. There are some GameCube games you can play right now. Yeah, so there's some stuff out there. I'm sure we could find a retro game that scratches that itch for you. I would like to play the Lion King game from Sega, because it's the only one I played.

Oh, OK. I had an X-Men one, but it stopped working. Yeah, that happened. I put it in, blow on it, but it stopped working. Yeah, that happened. I put it in, blow on it, put it in, it didn't work. Sounds like, you did everything you could, you blew on it. I did, I did everything I could. Tricia, you're a mom, you have a kid. I do.

Are you getting your kid into the kind of like nerdy stuff that you're into? You know what's so funny? I think that all kids naturally have some kind of aversion to whatever their parents are into. Oh, god, I hope so. Right? Well, I mean, honestly.

Please don't podcast. My son's hilarious, because I think he thinks video games. He's like, ah, that's what mom does for work. So it's inherently not as cool. So is he into? Is he into Labooboos? No, I actually brought him back a Labooboo. I was in Taiwan for Computex

and I brought him back a Labooboo and he was like, eh. Yes! He's into sports. He's into sports. He's a jock, he's a jock. Which is so not what I've ever been into, but you know what? I wished my parents got more into video games because that's what I've ever been into, but you know what? I wished my parents got more into video games

because that's what I liked. And so I'm gonna be a sports mom if that's what he demands of me. But what kind of sport are we talking here? It's not golf, is it? No, right now it's soccer. Lots of soccer. Ooh, soccer's crazy.

That's a fancy, it's international. Yeah. Soccer and karate. Karate as well. Oh, he would love the Street Fighter movie. I know, speaking of Jean-Claude Van Damme, soccer and karate. Karate as well. Oh, he would love the Street Fighter movie. I know. Speaking of Jean-Claude Van Damme, here we are. Have you bought him any umbros?

No, wait, what are umbros? Remember, umbro shorts, that's what every cool soccer kid wore was umbro shorts. Maybe it's not around anymore. No, they sound like pretty cool shorts, honestly. OK, thank you. I don't know, I'll find another one. Now I wanna look them up, I don't know. They might not be around,

I think Adidas maybe kinda just over, no, they are still cute. Let's check them out. Grab the kids some Umbro's. I'm looking at them right now, they're cute as hell. Umbro shorts. Well just Umbro, the brand in general. It's like, they're cool.

They were like what all the soccer like cool kids were. Okay, yeah, yeah. I get it, athletic shorts. Yeah. Honestly, Umbrot's pretty good name for a podcast. Oh, shit. They're selling them exclusively at Urban Outfitters, which is a bad sign.

Okay. It could be, it could be. Jordan, you said you like to watch fighting games and you've been to EVO. What games do you like to play? So yeah, big fighting game guy, I play. I've played a lot of Street Fighter VI, that's the most recent Street Fighter game.

I always buy them. Really, VI? Yeah, yeah, well, there's also the Street Fighter Alpha series, of course. Those are prequels. Oh, you want to hear about continuity. Oh, boy. I know. But I've been really, really into the past couple of years for me. I've been all about the like Dark Souls games, the Dark Souls, Elden Ring, Bloodborne.

These are like kind of dark fantasy games that are like kind of frustratingly hard. And you play them till 2 a.m. and you get a headache headache that's what I'm into. Is that a horny one? Is Elden Ring a horny one? There are some like statues with huge tits. It's not a game where you actually get to be intimate with people and there are games like that. What's the one Baldur's Gate? Baldur's Gate. That one. Yeah, I'm a big Baldur's Gate gal. So who, can you, are you okay to tell us about some of your Baldur's Gate romances?

I totally can. Is there anyone that sees the video of this? I do. I've watched a lot of video of it. Oh no, you mean the video of this podcast? Yes. No, no. Okay, because I was going to say I could show and tell, but just behind me in my office is a cuddle

pillow of a Starian. My husband got it for me for my birthday due to my ongoing very steamy romance with a Starian. Can we see the Starian? I don't know the characters in the game. I kind of do want to see. What? Okay, hold on. I just watch YouTube videos of people playing the game and it's hot. Oh wow. I knew it was him. So what we're seeing is kind of a silver haired

kind of aristocratic, maybe vampire boy. Am I getting that right? Yes. I know a hot vampire boy when I see him. You know a hot vampire boy? Am I getting that right? I know a hot vampire boy when I see him. You know a hot vampire boy. Yes. And in my, here wait, I'm coming closer to that. In my 200 hour plus first play through,

I did get the best romantic ending. Ooh. What was it? Can we know? Oh, I don't wanna spoil it for anybody. I mean, no, you- Is it sex? Oh, I don't wanna spoil it for anybody. I mean, no. Is it sex? The ending, so that ending has nothing to do

with the other ending. Oh. Okay, okay. So this is a game where, especially before they patched it, pretty much every character that you encounter is very thirsty all the time. So like you'd come up and be like, hey, I found this cool gem in a cave.

And they'd be like, I love the way you smell. And you're like, oh. I just wanna talk about gems. Yeah, like I was trying to, okay, I guess. I'm talking about gems. Neat. Yeah, so that game is quite the Randy game for sure. But you can not romance anybody if that's not your jam.

But I like that. I'm always trying to show people gems and then they just try and fuck me. Jesus. Oh, you know what? You can't stop it. I know. Okay, this is amazing.

I'm glad we have somebody with video game industry credibility here with us today to talk about Street Fighter the movie. I think we've kind of, it's a lot of people's first time, I saw this in theaters as a kid. This is like the height of my insanity about Street Fighter. And I'll talk about my viewing this time as we go. But at the time when I saw it in theaters,

I think we all know that feeling of like, you're a kid, right? You're just happy to be at the movies, you don't know movies are bad. And then you see that one movie where you're like, wait a minute, was that bad? And Street Fighter was one of those for me. I'm like, I've been looking for,

this is the only movie I've ever wanted to see since I first played it at Lamp Post Pizza. Ooh, shout out to Lamp Post. Still there and maybe still has a Street Fighter machine. We need to get merch. Yeah, we gotta do it, Lamp Post Pizza. Lamp Post. At the very least a sponsorship.

Yeah. Yeah, god damn it, Lamp Post. Yeah, we'll plug one pizza place in Lake Forest. So me seeing, I was very disappointed with this in the theaters and I haven't revisited since. I was glad I got a chance to do it for this pod. Anybody else see this in theaters? I've seen it. You've seen it. Not in theaters, but did you, Tricia, did you see it theaters? No, I never saw it. I actually didn't know that this came out in theaters.

Okay, yeah. It seems like it shouldn't have. It seems like it shouldn't have. Yeah. Straight to showtime. I saw this in theaters. Okay. All the boys on this podcast have seen it in theaters

because we are the true Street Fighter fans. We're the umbros. Boys, boys, boys. I'll give it to ya, yeah. I'm not gonna argue with it because I don't give a fuck. But I saw it on, when it was free with ads on YouTube, I watched it like a couple of months ago, and I was stoned, and I loved it.

Yeah, that's a better way to see it. And then I watched it today, and I have other opinions. Okay. Probably because I wasn't stoned. Huge mistake. Yeah, let's talk about the actual movie. have other opinions. Probably because I wasn't stalled. Huge mistake. Yeah, let's talk about the actual movie. We open on news footage. Great way to start a movie, just watching.

This is pretty cool, actually. You like the news footage? I like it, yeah. Okay, yeah. I didn't like the real bad, like, Windows 95 animated intro to the news though. It like looks like one of those horrific maze screen savers or something. And it was weird that Clippy was giving the news.

I thought that was so weird. Well, okay, so I liked it because I don't know a lot about the lore of Street Fighter, but was Chun Li a journalist in the video game? Well! Oh boy. of Street Fighter, but was Chun Li a journalist in the video game? Well, probably. Oh, boy. Hang on. Here we go. Before we get into that, I just want to say, I think we know this actress.

She's been in so much. She was in ER. Yeah, yeah. Ming-Na Wen's incredible. She's great. Amazing actress. And she's good in this too. I think she's awesome in this.

So good. She's one of the few that actually knew what movie she was in. Right. Not everyone did. Yeah. And not everyone knew they were in a movie. But I really liked her, her character. It was fun. I like her little dudes in her news van that she hangs out with. They're awesome. Balrog and E. Honda. Yeah, that's a fun friendship. That's my favorite little group in the whole movie.

It is a cool group. And honestly, the movie has too many characters and should just be About one or two people and that's who the movie should be about I honestly don't even think Jean-Claude needed to be in this fucking movie Anyway, so yeah, so it to answer your lore question Emily in the game Chun Li is kind of more of the guile She is part of like an Interpol or an MI6, and she's looking for Bison because he killed her father. So that revenge plot is real.

But they made her a reporter for the movie. I like the reporter thing. It gives like April O'Neill vibes. Yeah, for sure. And it's fun and gives her like an excuse to like have to try and interview Guile. Yeah. Jordan, you had mentioned that like they should have focused on one or two people.

And I think if they were going to make like a serious Street Fighter drama, focusing on one or two characters and like really building out the story would have absolutely been it. But for like, hey, we're just trying to recreate the fun you have on an arcade machine, like on an arcade cabinet. Get all the fighters in there, make them fight, plot doesn't really matter. Let's all just have a great time and get lots of action. But wait a minute, but then only have the fighting start

a whole half-ass way through the movie. It's like, if that was the goal. Well, that depends on whether or not you think people shooting at each other is fighting. No, I don't. Oh, I think it is. Yes. It is interesting.

And, Trisha, I think there is, I think you do make a good point. It is like, as a fan of the game, you do want to see everybody. And they have a thing in the movie where everyone gradually gets into their outfit from the game and by the end they're all in their outfit from the game. The movie doesn't care about a lot, but it cares about everyone being there, and everyone gradually getting in their outfit from the game.

That is kinda cool. And they each do one special move at some point in the movie, and I appreciate that. Everyone does one of their special moves, and it is cool when they do the special moves. I feel like I wanted it to just be like, I think people should just breathe fire in this movie, and no one should explain it.

It should just happen. like, I think people should just breathe fire in this movie and no one should explain it, it should just happen. Anyway, so yeah, so Chun Li, she's reporting on the biggest story in the whole world. A country has gone rogue, Shadow Lu, and it is being run by the evil M. Bison, Miss Bison if you're nasty, played by Raoul Julia. He's a drug dealer. I think it's funny in this video game movie,

they're like, hey, he sells heroin. It's just this weird real world thing that takes you out of it. Who doesn't, bitch? And okay, Raoul fucking Julia. Chun Li knows what movie she's in. Raoul Julia really knows what movie she's in. Yes he does.

He's so good in this and so awesome. And I just, if you've never seen this, I wanna like play a clip of what he's like in this movie. This is toward the end of the movie, but this is how he's acting the whole time. It is a Nicholas Cage, Hold My Beer level of acting. It's so great. So yeah, I just, if you haven't watched it,

I just wanted Matt to play his little clip of like what he's from heaven like lightning. So rad. That is every line. That needs to be the intro to a metal song. Just like put that in the middle and then just. Rarrr! Like it's like. Yeah, it's so good.

And yeah, and he. Ball with the ball, banged it. No, not that one, not that one. A little bit of a breakdown, but I think it's important to understand how awesome he is. He had stomach cancer during this. This was his last movie. He died before it came out.

And all his kids came with him to film this movie and like all had this like family vacation together while they were filming it. And he did it because they loved the game. And he is like not in great health for this. He has to wear this giant armor. And he is still- Which looked cool though.

It looked cool. Oh, the boots in that last scene were out of control. The gravity boots, yeah. So this is like, you know, like obviously this is not a great movie, but he's so awesome in it. So good. And if you like, even if you don't watch this movie,

there's tons of like YouTube clips of him in compilations and it's awesome. I'd say watch it just for this performance, if nothing else. Yeah, he's great. But also his costumes, I didn't know that he knew he was sick during this. I thought this was his last movie and then he passed away.

I didn't know he was sick during it. That's really remarkable. Yeah, I know. And he just brings it, and it does seem like he's doing some of the fighting in this too. Like, meeting Van Damme, you know? It's truly amazing, an amazing guy. Well, later I want to talk about his costume, so we'll get into it. Oh, sure. Yeah, yeah. We'll have a costume corner. So, yeah, so he is, Gail is his enemy.

They're taunting each other through Chun-Li's camera. I don't know how that works, but like, they're using Chun-Li's movie camera to talk to each other. And Bison. Wait, wait. We have a sting. Fake film tech. Fake film tech. Fake Film Tech, yes. Definitely. You better get that sting ready because there's a lot more where that came from. Only playing it once. No you're not! So they're taunting each other. Bison says, you will choke on those words. And Van Damme just goes, anytime, dickhead.

Such a non-line. Anytime, dickhead. It's also just so funny. I know you guys were kind of talking about this at the very beginning, but that Jean-Claude Van Damme is guile and actually has the American flag very poorly stenciled on his biceiceps, but also has the thickest accent. Like he's supposed to be the like America boy and very clearly not speaking

American dialect at all. Tricia, did you have you watched a lot of Van Damme movies? Did you have feelings about him going into this? I mean, I am a fan of a lot of action films of that era where whether it be Van Damme or Schwarzenegger or whoever like you know was was learning they were getting their grasp on English a little bit better but that's okay because we love them for the action that they do and that's what it's all about. Right? So I, I, I mean, I anticipated that's what we'd be getting. I, I guess I didn't realize going in that he would be Guile and like just be like, but I'm the America boy. I know.

Which just made it even funnier. Why the fuck wasn't he Blanco? Like to me, this guy who's kind of big Blanca, Blanca. They would have hidden his whole, his face the whole time if he was Blanca. Then maybe they would have tried at the makeup. Then they would have made him look hot. Hulk is still hot when he's from the 70s. You like a green man.

I don't know that anyone that plays the games is like, you know what, you know who I want to be hot? Blanca. I don't know that anyone that plays the games is like, you know what, you know who I want to be hot? Blanca. I don't know that. Why not? Tricia, respectfully disagree. Okay, okay, you know what? I have some TV and art clips I need to send you. Uh, well.

Ooh. If you want to talk about Goro versus Blanca, I mean, Goro's got it. Okay. I keep drawing fan art of Goro and Blanca hugging. Yeah. Their nation. They would love each other. But yeah, I hear what you're saying and Blanca hugging. They're nation. They would love each other.

But yeah, I hear what you're saying. Blanca's my, he's my main, he's my main. Nice, nice. Can we talk about the tattoo for a second? Oh, please. Because it was like almost looked like it was put on with glitter. Like it's almost like someone took a glitter pen

and drew an American flag on this man's bicep and we're all just supposed to believe it was a tattoo. Yeah, white paint. It's one of those things where they like solve a mystery based on a tattoo later. It's like this guy has the tattoo of the evil, blah, blah, blah. And that one sucks too.

The tattoos in this are awful. Yeah, so as we mentioned, Blanca, he's the green monster man. Bison is turning him into a monster man. He's Guile's buddy Charlie. This was disturbing to me, actually. Some personal stakes. They have him in this like clockwork orange helmet

and they're showing him atrocities. This is all being done to him by Dr. Dalsim, who has a real classic ass science lab. Bubble and beakers, you know, what's that shit you do at Halloween to make smoke? Dry ice. He has beakers filled with dry ice. I'm like, this is a science lab.

In a fucking proper science lab. And then like, saline drip bags, but with just Gatorade in them. Yeah. Yes, that was so funny. You know what I liked about this lab though was how cramped it is because I guess they're at the bottom of a military base or something. So there's like not a lot of space. I like that he's like uncomfortably and nervously crammed in there with the thing where they're

deforming this man. He has this big computer console, and when he sits down at it, it shakes because it is made of fucking cardboard. You can see the set, it's like an Ed Wood movie. You can see the set like getting knocked over by the like wrestlers. They spent all the money on Van Damme and Kylie Minogue.

Yeah. Like we're gonna need some discount beakers. And? And? A beaker budget, it's too high. They spent the money on Van Damme, Kylie Minogue, and cocaine for Van Damme. That's right, that's right. It was a very fun oral history of this movie.

And I think- It was kinda cool to see Kylie Minogue though. Yeah, she's placed Cammie, and yeah, she's, she also I would argue knows what movie she's in. Yeah! She's having a lot of fun, and she's really like, I don argue, knows what movie she's in. She's having a lot of fun and she's really like, I don't know, I like her in this. She's perfect in this.

It's amazing that those three people are the ones who get it and then there's all these, I don't know, it's such a bummer. Okay, now check my Kylie Minogue facts. But wasn't Kylie Minogue like super also known for her backside, which Kami is also very known for her backside. So I was like A plus casting,

but then I was a little bummed out as someone that really respects. Pun intended. That's right. I respect the heck out of Kami Cosplayers if they can do the bum right, cause it's not easy to pull off. And I was sad in this movie

that we didn't get more Cammie bum. I agree. If you play the game, Cammie fights all of her matches in a thong. And yes, you, the Cammie cosplayers at cons, they are doing God's work. A salute to all you soldiers out there, Kamiing. And so yeah, you're right, this movie is very PG-13.

And so yeah, you do not get any kind of saucy pants. No Kami butt, but my husband was telling me, and maybe his facts are messed up, but he was telling me, he was like, didn't Kylie Minogue insure her backside because she was so known for it? With Lloyds of London or something? And I'm like, dude, if that's true, that's wild.

For sure JLo did that, but I don't know about. Well, that's a rumor, supposedly. But like, I feel like these are both rumors. There's just like an insurance company like Mix-A-Lot Inc. that just does this, that just does butt insurance. Just butt insurance, can you imagine? Okay, the US son says Kylie has a $4 million

insurance on her butt. See, that's some kiss-butting that's about to happen right there? They're backing up a dump truck of money. Wait, so I don't understand. I chop my butt off so fast. Yeah. If I had that, I'd be like,

give me that four million bucks, bitch. This does feel like a really easy insurance scam. I burned my ass down for the insurance. Yeah. Well, I guess you insured if you think like, should something happen to my bum. Yes. At least I'll have for the insurance. Yeah. I guess you insured if you think like, should something happen to my bum. Yes. Then I could not make, use it to make money anymore.

I could then do this. But doesn't time do that anyway? What are you gonna do, sue God? Like what are you gonna do? I'd love to sue God. Me too. I got some questions and some resentment. So, we get kind of an intro to some of the other characters in this.

We have Ken and Ryu. They're two fighting bros. They're like gun runners in this movie, and they are pulling a fast one on Sagat and Vega, who are just two bad guys in this. Vega, kind of like just two kind of like bad guys in this Vega, kind of known for having the mask. They're announcing the casting for the Street Fighter reboot movie. Vega is going to be played by Orville Peck. There's a reboot.

Which is kind of yes, it's coming. It's twenty twenty five, Emily. Orville Peck, Orville Peck is going to make us come right out the gate. OK, this is this is this is a cool thing that is a little bit of a bummer too. They announced Bison this week. It's going to be David Dustmulchin who is a cool- He's like that guy from that thing who's always good. He was like polka dot man in the Suicide Squad.

He's really great. I love him. He might be great. You know who was going to be? Who? Walton Goggins. Oh. I know. He might be great. He might be great. But you know who was gonna be? Who? Walton Goggins. Oh. Fuck.

I know. That would've ruled. That would've been good. Fuck. But still, that's still a good choice though. It's a good choice, yeah. I love that guy. He's gonna be good, and you know who's gonna be Blanca?

Who? Jason Momoa. Yeah, I did see that. That's the news that I saw. I'm into it. I'm fucking in. I'm so in. I don't care if it sucks, I'm down.

I'm so down. One ticket. So yeah. I think that guy might bring it though. 100%, he always brings it. I can't remember his name, but he is great in everything. Well that horror movie that he did about like, like it was a TV production that the devil, it comes and fucks everyone up.

Oh my God, it's so scary. I've seen it. It's pretty good. Yeah, I have high hopes for the Street Fighter movie based on the casting. Late Night with the Devil. Casting is a lot of fun. Casting's a lot of fun so far.

Hell yeah. So yeah, this is like the only part of the movie that takes place at like a fighting tournament and the rest of the movie is just a war movie. It's like, okay. So yeah, so they're doing, there's a fight between Ryu and Vega that doesn't happen, but there's kind of a fun moment

where the ladies love Vega. He's this suave, kind of Spanish, bullfighter type guy. And then Ryu takes off his shirt, or Ryu, excuse me. Yeah, I was gonna say, we gotta talk about this, Jordan. They confuse it in the movie. In the movie they say it. In the movie they can't decide. I grew up saying Ryu like many Americans

and then was corrected later that it's Ryu. That it's Ryu, but also I feel like the first time they say it in the movie, the first character says it Ryu and I was like what is even happening in this movie? Third pronunciation. You're just Roy now. Ridiculous. Your name's too Japanese, you're Smitty.

Whatever we choose to call him, the internet says it's Ryu. Yeah, Ryu, Ken is the one who called him Ryu, which in the movie I was like, actually that kind of fits with the character, because Ken is like American. Yeah, kind of a dumb American. You know, these guys have a fun chemistry. They never kiss no matter how hard you yell at the screen Jordan that's so true Kiss guys

So there's this They're about to fight. There's a thing where Ryu takes off his shirt and the ladies all like tear up their I love Vega signs This movie has I didn't I forgot this about this movie, it has a lot of goofy comedy in it and some of it is really funny. I did like legitimately laugh at some of the jokes in this. I like that where the, right, or re-excuse me. It's buffered.

I will say that the guy he was up against who took his mask off, I went holy shit, this guy's gorgeous. Like immediately. No, that's the thing about the character too. He's like this vague, preening, yeah. But yeah, when he took off his shirt, I was like, okay, I think it's a little bit much of a reaction, ladies.

But, all right. They're the Vega fan club. They're the Vega fan club. So yeah, there's this whole, so they don't fight because like Guile crashes a tank through the thing and arrests everybody. And then there's this like fake out, and I think that was just there so they could tell the tank,

sell the tank as a toy. They just needed it in one scene. So they like arrest everybody, and then there's this like double cross thing where they pretend like Guile gets shot. And Bison is talking with his like tech guy DJ and he says this is this is one of the weirdest funniest moments in the movie to me DJ is like great news general your

greatest enemy is dead and Bison's like on the contrary, I mourn a fellow warrior. And DJ just goes, okay. Yeah. Played by Miguel Nunez Jr., who's like a great comic actor. He was in Joana Man, he was in Life. He's just a really hilarious dude. So I was happy to see him in one of the dumbest roles he's ever played. He pops up in everything he's another that guy from that thing.

Absolutely. So we go to like we go to like Shadowloo like Bison's like base in Shadowloo and it's supposed to be this like you know den of inequity it's supposed to be this you know like, like, uh, most icily kind of rugged place. And they go to like Bison's headquarters and he's watching a magic show. He's this drug dealing dictator and he ordered a magic show. Yeah. And all his soldiers are sitting around clapping for this magic show. Like this guy sells heroin and guns and he has a torture pit, but he's just like, bring on the magic show.

And also he has about 50, 60 hostages just in a bunker somewhere. Yeah. It's kind of incredible. And he's watching a magic. And so it is undercover. It is Chun Li and Honda and Balrog, her news team. And they're really great and funny in this,

like being magicians. They have funny costumes um but yeah i just fucking love that this like drug dealing dictator loves magic shows you know what when you're on top of the world you do what you want you get whatever entertainment you want yeah if it's a magic show you want pony rides i would not be surprised if Chris Angel wasn't in Trump's basement like right now. Oh, might be. Depends on which kind of magic you like, you know? Yeah.

Little emo magic. Yeah. Do you want your mind freaked, I think is the issue. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if they do. Do you want your mind freaked? So yeah, it's the news team undercover. We learned that Bison's going gonna kidnap the Queen of England.

That's just kind of a fun little subplan he casually mentions. So they- Simpler times. But like Chun-Li and her news guys sabotage their weapons. They blow them up. And kind of Bison and all his guys are watching this on a closed circuit TV.

And one of Bison's goons is Zangief, this kind of big dumb wrestler guy and they give him all these dumb guy lines. Is he the one with the beard and the mohawk? He's got the beard and the mohawk. Oh my god. The Siberian bear. While they're watching it on TV and everything's blowing up Zangief quick, change the channel. Yeah. He's so dumb. He thinks if he changed the channel, it doesn't happen. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, so I'm like, why am I laughing so hard at this movie? What was his name again? Zang Gif. I don't know the name of the actor, but he's like a big Gif. No, just the character, Zang Gif? Zang Gif, yes. So yeah, they kidnap Chun-Liief. Zangief, yes. Yes. So yeah, they kidnap Chun-Li.

They get her news guys, everybody. It's kind of like they're putting everybody in place for the final battle, kind of. They're kidnapping everybody. There's a scene. And they put Chun-Li in this kind of, I don't know what you would call it, this dress that kind of looks similar to her game costume.

Yes. It's very much like, but it's red, and she has red sheer hose on, and I'm like, we can wear that? I didn't know, that's such, I'm gonna wear red sheer hose, ASAP, but yeah, she looks amazing. I can't remember what the shoes look like, but I wanna remember.

Go on, sorry. Very cool, very cool costume. Yeah, I mean, Emily, do do you just anybody have any just general costume thoughts while we're talking about this? All of the so many, so many costume thoughts. I love that they did Chun Li's buns by the end. Yes. Yeah, she gets her buns. You get the actually I'm looking up because I think the 1994 Street Fighter

film was based on Street Fighter 2, if I remember correctly. That's cool. And so I'm looking up like Chun Li's Street Fighter film was based on Street Fighter II, if I remember correctly. Oh, that's right. That's cool. And so I'm looking up Chun-Li's Street Fighter II outfit and she actually- Well, I think we always remember her in the blue and gold and white. Yes, that's her classic, is the blue with the white,

little puff balls on the buns. And the boots, I think. She does wear kind of a red tight under that blue outfit in Street Fighter 2. That's cool. Yeah, she looked, and the thing fit her. Like it was such a cool, like, I don't know. And she fought in it like a motherfucker too,

which was cool. She was great. Yeah. Ming-Na Wen's awesome. And I don't know, I guess she wasn't as famous as she is now back then, but she killed it. She's great. She was my favorite actually in the whole thing.

I mean, no way. She's amazing. She whips ass and she, and this, in this scene, so like Bison has her in his lair and there's this thing where he changes into a smoking jacket and then takes a different hat off of a hat rack. He puts on a velvet evil guy hat.

Yeah. Oh my God. It's great. It's, yeah, and then she like breaks her like chains and she like kicks his ass and it's a pretty it's a great scene. She's like clearly doing some of this fighting. Yeah she's great but he like does a classic villain thing and fills the room with gas. We love a room that fills with gas. Classic villain shit. Okay I'm getting a closer look

though at Chun Li's costume. Holy shit, this thing is gorgeous. It's like lace almost. And she's got like goth gauntlets with like black leather and the spikes. It's rad. But I just wanted to say before we get off the costume thing. Please, yes.

Rowell, is it Julia or Julia? Rowell Julia, I think it's how you pronounce it. His costumes, when he whipped his cape back, it revealed itself as like a red, almost sleeping bag-like material. Does anyone remember what I'm talking about? Gortix. Well, it was like padded,

it was like looking like it was almost sleep bag material, but it made him look big and strong. And now I'm realizing about the story you said about him being ill, that was a brilliant move. Yeah, I think they maybe were trying to pad him up and stuff like that. He looked big and intimidating in that costume. I mean, Bison in the games is Jean-Claude Van Damme style

like size, right? Like super buff, very, very muscle-y. So when I first saw Raoul Julia playing this role, I was like, huh, they went with a skinny guy for bison. So I think the costume really was doing a lot of work to try to make him look more physically imposing. Yeah, and it worked. I thought it was really cool costume,

but also his performance is so intimidating. It is. I was truly scared of him. I was like, this is a scary fucking villain, and I didn't even need him to fight anyone, but I think it's cool that he did. So yeah, so we're kind of like, we're coming up on the final battle here.

Van Damme like says, fuck you to the UN. Everybody gets in these like battle boats and like speeds to like Bison's Lair. And Matt, I know you said you only wanted to play the bad future tech scene, bad movie texting once, but you need to play it again for this. In the battle boat, Van Damme has a little VCR and he puts in a tape of him and his buddy Charlie fucking around like in better days

And watches it while he's going to the battle just obviously like remind the audience of the emotional stakes, right? But how crazy like first of all keep your eyes on the fucking water road Van Dam don't watch a home video of you and your buddy and then they pull back and other people are in the boat with him So they're like other people having to watch him remember his buddy. It's so fucking psychotic. There you go. A boat with a VCR where you can watch your home movies. It's a luxury boat. It's a luxury boat. If I were an orca, I would eat the shit out of that boat. Oh my God. Yeah. It's fun to eat. And then watch a VCR. And then yeah, watch a video of home movies

of the people you ate and cry. Just to make the third act more emotional. Okay, we're gonna talk about the thrilling conclusion of Street Fighter right after this. We're back. It's Free With Ads. We're here with Twitch streamer, host extraordinaire, Trisha Hershberger. We are talking about Street Fighter. Okay, the third act.

Everybody's on Bison's secret bad guy island. They're just shooting a bunch of guns. Cammie and Guile start to fight some guys, and this is when people start doing their special moves from the game. Cammie kicks a guy start to fight some guys, and this is when people start doing their special moves from the game. Cammie kicks a guy and yells, thrust kick. And it's like, she yells in the game when you do that move. I love that convention of yelling out what you're about to do.

Hell yeah. Well, this is when the movie started for me. Yeah, I know. Takes a while to get here. I was like, all right, we got backflips, we got chop chop. We got all that stuff kicking. I know. It's a real when are they going to get here. I was like, all right, we got backflips. We got chop chop. We got all that stuff kicking. I know. It's a real, when are they going to get to the fireworks

factory situation with this movie? But this is genuinely pretty cool. Everybody kind of just pairs up and fights. Ryu and Vega finally fight. Zangief and Ehanda start to fight. We reveal that Ehanda was a sumo wrestler and Balrog was a boxer and they both get in their outfits. Those guys are the best characters, I swear to God.

They rule so hard. There's these kind of announcements over the PA telling the Shadowlu soldiers to review their health plan benefits. I feel like this part is also where, so I absolutely adored every time each one of them did their special move. It gave me such joy in my heart.

But also I feel like all the cardboard sets that we were referencing earlier all get smooshed during these scenes and I loved it. It was giving fake chair at a wrestling match being smashed over somebody's back. Like it was that the entire third act and I'm here fake chair at a wrestling match being smashed over somebody's back. Like it was that the entire third act and I'm here for it. Yeah, it's a tiny city that Godzilla is stomping in 1967. You can just, yeah, you can see the rigging, you can see the wires.

For real. They literally add a Godzilla noise when Zangief and Ihonda are fighting. What? What you it? They did. Yeah. They make a little joke out of it. I think it's because they're in a room that looks like they're destroying a miniature city.

Yes. But I thought that was very much like, hey, that's perfect for this podcast. Who loves? We do love a Godzilla. Godzilla. Godzilla, yeah. Also, everyone kind of gets their costume from the game. We mentioned this.

Where does Balrog get his boxing gloves? He just has boxing gloves in one scene. Anyway. I know, I was thinking the same thing and I thought, is he a character that just has boxing gloves? Because that doesn't feel like street fighting to me. That feels like street fighting, it's gotta be bare knuckle and like kicking and punching. But I

haven't really watched the game. I don't know much about street fighting. Yeah. I mean, he does have boxing gloves in the game. Oh, okay. He's also was supposed to be called M Bison. Uh the character Balrog was supposed to be uh who M Bison is now. I believe they got in trouble because it was too close. They clearly, they modeled him off of Mike Tyson. And they were worried Mike Tyson was gonna sue them.

Yes. And zero off. Yeah, so, you know, that's just a little fun thing. Well, they could have called him Bashless Blay or something. So instead they were like, let's. Yes, they could have called him that. Let's just switch little fun thing. Well, they could have called him Bacheless Blay or something. So instead they were like, let's- Sure, yes, they could have called him that. Let's just switch names.

Instead, they go deep in the minds of Moria and they're like, this is fine. I got it. There's like a huge Tolkien fan somewhere in there. I know, yeah. If we're worried about being sued, let's name him after a famous literary character instead. It's fucking crazy. Yeah, so this main fight is pretty cool. Yeah, it's Van Damme versus Rau Julia.

Rau Julia, they think he dies, but then this computer ejects all of this adrenaline into him and he gets all these weird powers. This is fucking cool. You had a second life, dude. That's the thing. Yeah, you got to know that he has an extra life. It said continue, 10, nine, eight, and then boom. Oh yeah, he gets an extra life.

And yeah, there's also one point in the movie where he's shooting mines at the boats using the controller from the game, and that's when we get game over. Game over! Game over! There it is. When they broke out the arcade cabinet controls,

I lost it, I lost it. I lost it. I loved it. I know. So good. I know. That's such a fun little detail. Yeah.

So, you know, but he eventually, he eventually beats up, beats up in bison. Everybody runs out of the thing. The thing explodes because the thing always explodes. The thing always has a self-destruct thing for some reason. Yeah. And then they freeze frame for the camera. Fucking Saved by the Bell style. I just want to hear Jitterbug.

Jitterbug. We do need to talk a little bit about the music in this movie. Over the closing credits, we get this very generic soft rock song that doesn't fit. But there's another song from this movie I think we should play before we do the Hunk Watch. Because it was 1990 fucking four,

MC Hammer wrote a song for this movie. No. Maybe didn't write it, maybe had a song and they like they put it in the movie. What? It is called Straight to My Feet and the other artist on it is Dion Sanders the football player There's a video for it that a lot of the cast is in including Van Damme

You have to watch this on YouTube, but I think before we do hunk watch Let's play a little bit of the MC Hammer track for this movie, Straight to My Feet. It kind of rules, doesn't it? It rules. It kind of rules. It's pretty good, actually. Not the Roofs on Fire. Yeah, yeah, it It rules. It kinda rules. It's pretty good actually. Not the roof's on fire. Yeah, it's good. It's good.

It's not fair. It's not fair, yes, please, if you do anything, watch some clips of Ralph Julie in this movie. What does it have to do with this movie? Nothing. Doesn't need to have anything to do with this movie. It's just cool. I do, this was awesome.

Beat does rhyme with street. Beat rhymes with street. That's right. And you use your feet to kick. So there's a little connection there. Yes, it's very good. Yeah, I do like it from this era when they had a song over the credits that was the plot of the movie.

I think that was a wonderful time in movies. I mean, Raul Julia was in the Addams Family movie, and they had, whoop, the Addams Family. They're ready. Do what they want to do. Play what they want to play. That's right. The Addams Family.

Well, yeah, that is Street Fighter. Before we rank the movie on a scale of 1 to 10 super loud commercials, we've got to do the Hunk Watch. It's Hunk Watch. This is the part where we talk about who we think the ultimate hunk of the movie is. I suspect Emily and I are in agreement on this. I'm going Zangief

right? Not only is the guy a total hunk, great mohawk hairstyle and nails all of his jokes. He's just so funny. He's so funny. Yeah, I like him a lot too. Any other thoughts on who the hunks of this movie are? Hunk can be anyone or anything.

Yeah, I was gonna say, I'm new to this. Are there requirements? Nope. Make a hunk? I think Godzilla has been a hunk as has the blob, so. You know. Okay, then I'm gonna give it to Raul Julia for that performance. That's the hunk of the movie for me. Absolutely, agree,'m gonna give it to Raul Julia for that performance.

That's the hunk of the movie for me. Agree, that's where I was at too. He was my secondary hunk for real because I just, he's that character, I want him to slap me in the face and spit in my mouth. You know what I mean? Yes, okay. It's like that kind of character.

Game over. But the other guy I wanna marry and like, you know. You wanna settle down with Zanguy. I wanna over. But the other guy I want to marry and like, you know. You want to settle down with Zangief. I want to settle down with the other guy. Oh, okay. So to be clear, you want Raul Julia to spit in your mouth, not Zangief. Yes.

Okay, all right, okay. Yeah, just a choice. I think he's a golden retriever type thing. He's like. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Fair enough. You spit in his mouth. That's how that goes.

But I mean, you know, listen, a lot of hunks in this movie. Yeah, we've mentioned Kylie Minogue, we've mentioned Ming-Na Wen, I mean. I mean, Jean-Claude Van Damme is the lead of this movie. Pretty heavy. Trisha, can I ask, like, what is it about Raul Julia's character that does it for you in this? Oh, for me, it's about the performance.

You don't have to totally elaborate. No, it's about the fully committed to the bit performance. Like there's no question in his mind, he's made the choice and he is going for it 3000%. And I'm here for that. Aw, okay. Yeah, I agree completely. It's a talent boner, it's a talent boner.

Oh! Yeah. Ooh, that's a really good term actually, talent boner. I know, yeah. Ooh, that's a really good term, actually. Talent boner. I know, yeah, I mean, that is a very good term, a very useful term. It's like when you're like, yeah. Okay, let's do this. Let's take a minute.

Let's all see if we can get rid of our talent boners. We'll come back and we'll rank the movie. We're back, it's Free With Ads, we are here with Trisha Hershberger.

Okay, now we are going to rank Street Fighter on a scale of one to 10 super loud commercials. Trisha, you're our guest, you were so nice to come and watch this movie with us.

What did you think, one to 10? All right, you know what? I'm gonna give it a six and hear me out. Yes. I love the fan service. Like, at the bare minimum, what does this movie need to be? It needs to make the fans happy, including like the actual arcade controls in there to fire the missiles, including everybody's special moves. And the costumes were so good and reminiscent,

if not a copy of some of the characters in game outfits. Like it was just, I think the fan service was a plus and I love like a crap action movie. I am here for that. So I just, I loved how silly it is. I loved some of the over the top performances, Raul Julia being a standout, Ming-Ng Nguyen being awesome. And so as much as like overall, this movie is not a good movie.

Like don't get me wrong, this is not a good movie. But it was an enjoyable watch as someone that loves the Street Fighter franchise. So I'm gonna give it a six out of 10. Okay, Matt, what'd you think? You'll go next. I'm giving it a nine. Okay.

I love this movie. Upon rewatch, I loved it even more. It was like one of those things where I thought I was gonna hate it now that I am an adult, but I just was absolutely in love with it. It didn't get a 10 because Dalsim didn't do Yoga Flame. You shoulda done Yoga Flame.

A fucking nine? Are you kidding me? Yeah, well, I mean, we all have opinions, Emily. Some people like Moonstruck. I know you have opinions. And some people like, some people like Street Butter. Some people like Moonstruck. I know you have opinions. Some people like, some people like Street Butter. Some people like Godfather 2, barf. Anyway.

No, I haven't. Some people like Radiohead, suck my dick. We're relitigating some old arguments. All right, okay. All I'm saying, I'm just shocked. Moonstruck. Ugh! I'm like really shocked that you made this a nine.

Like it's just, I feel like it's hard to get you to do a nine and I think you're getting cheap, Matt. No, no, this was, it truly has everything to do with ease of watch as I was watching it. It was like, I think as a kid, I enjoyed the fan service. And as an adult, I enjoyed how silly and how good of a time everyone was having, including Van Damme, who you could tell was just like geeked out on cocaine.

And I was like, everyone's having fun. And just knowing the backstory with it being Raoul Julia's last movie and watching him truly commit to it. Oh, you're pulling that, are you? No, I'm sorry, but it was like, it was truly wonderful for me to watch as an adult. And I was like, I haven't enjoyed a movie

this much in a while. All right. We don't really make us approve our opinions on this podcast, Trisha, just want you to know. But this is a big moment to me. Anyway, I'm gonna go next. Yes, Emily. I was gonna give it a seven.

Wow. Like I got very frustrated by how long it took to get to the street fighting. You're right. The fight. It's a viable note. It's a viable note. What I came here for. And it was like, Raul Julia is doing the fighting with his acting. Everyone else fucking get to it.

Like it's it's your fault fault, but once it got going, it was really fun and of course it checks off the being on in the background at a party vibe. 100%. Yeah, it would be good for that. Yes. Yeah, so I, as I mentioned, I was really disappointed when I saw this as a kid and just haven't

revisited it because of that. I was like, okay, we've got to watch Street Fighter for this thing. People want us to watch it. We're going to do it. I had so much fun. I had so much fucking... I laughed at the joke. I laughed at how bad it was. I laughed at the jokes.

I made a fucking veggie burger. I ate it while I watched the movie, I had the night of my goddamn life. It was, this movie is a blast, it is a bad movie. Let's make note, I don't think anybody's saying it's not, but it is like, I think it is a quintessential bad movie. I think it is like, it is up there with like, it's up there with birdemic, it's kind of in the pantheon of like fun to watch.

Oh my God, bad movies. And yeah, but it also has some legitimate great stuff. I mean, all the actors we mentioned who are doing a good job. And yeah, some of the fighting is actually kind of cool. I think if you- Yeah. Yeah, so I don't know.

I think it's a blast. I'm gonna go eight on this for me. All right. I'm really glad I rewatched it and got a second opinion. Can you do me a big favor? Go on IMDb and put up a review that was like, I laughed, I made a veggie burger, I had a great night.

Yeah, it's just a night of my life. A night of my life was, I believe, the quote. Yeah, it's an amazing review. That's the kind of review. Listen, do I need a more exciting life? Maybe, maybe that's what we've proved here tonight. Totally, but I would encourage all of our fans to also leave fun reviews like that, but with five stars.

Yes, five stars. And on our podcast. Our podcast. Yes, our podcast. Well, hey, that was Street Fighter. We had a blast watching it. Trisha Hershberger. Oh, my God. Thank you for joining us.

But on Instagram and all the other platforms I'm That Girl Trish with no I in the girl. So it's just That GRL Trish. That Girl Trish spelled correctly was taken sadly. So That GRL Trish is where you can find me on all the other places. And I honestly, I'm pretty all over the internet

all the time. You might be on Amazon to buy socks and see a video of a girl telling you about the latest Bose headset. That girl's probably me. So yeah, I'm in all corners of the internet. So if you see me, please say what's up and thank you guys for having me.

Thank you for being here. Yeah, Trish is a great Instagram follower. A lot of fun stuff and yeah, if you like gaming stuff, if you like tech stuff, a really fun follow over there on Instagram and definitely check out the Twitch stream.
