Well, bro, bro, bro, cast 24.
Did you do that 24 times?
That was really fast.
It was like the SpongeBob joke.
Want to see me do it again?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Mm-hmm.
The best superhero movie yet.
Genuinely.
Well, good afternoon, morning, evening, on night, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to...
Getting scared, are we?
Me too.
Me too.
I'm Alex, drawn by Jim.
Getting scared, are we?
Me too.
Getting a bit frightened.
This one person who's like is getting really upset by this tea thing I keep doing.
Like over-pronunciating t-tees.
Pronunciating, sorry.
like television
I'm going to get it
yeah I can understand
it's like really annoying and pedantic
yeah it is
is it a British thing to not pronounce your tease
properly in it
in it might
mate
but then like how would the Queen's English
would we do it
how do they say it
It
No they would say
T, the T
It
It
On my scone
Please
One extra sweetener
On my tea
One more dash of
Aspartine for money
Yeah
Well before we get too deep into the show
Let me shout out of the John Media Patreon
Over on the Patreon
There are many things to be found
It's been popping off
Lately
With even some added additions
That weren't even planned or anticipated
Which I'll get into in a second
Like
Journal Media group chat
Has something I've been enjoying
The community coming together
It's embedded into Patreon
I pluck
Comments and the suggestions
For the show in there
You get the raw MP3
Adfree
As well on Patreon
around um after hours of course it's been fun getting out the just warming up you know
got it's like stretching before exercising you know yeah which which i rarely do you do which
you don't do yeah um i'm a bit sore today mm yeah and there was yeah in the last episode we
talked about the Minecraft movie there was a section where we reacted to the trailer um
couldn't leave in because it's like a Beatles song or whatever but I put the full reaction up on
the Patreon um so you can watch that there too but now it's time to clean now it's time to go
to the crucible barrel I don't know why I put the barrel on the other side of the room the
barrel should really be over here we should we should print it all off and reach I have genuinely
considered that but so wasteful it is it is a
Extremely wasteful.
Cutting down trees for that.
Mm-hmm.
Maybe if I get into growing trees and make my own paper.
Oh, yeah.
Can you make paper out of all your...
My, uh, ivy.
Um, I don't know.
I've watched videos, though, on how you make paper.
Is it difficult?
Yeah.
Crazy time consuming.
Okay.
But bro, yeah.
Let's clean up the house.
Address some of those conversations that,
Just needed wrapping up
Like Christmas
Like Christmas
Which is starting to show up in
Supermarkets now
Yeah
Which is cool
Which is awesome
Um
Yeah so the
The new controversy is in
The new jar traverses in
Uh oh
New das
Said
I like that we've moved
Move past episode numbers
And now just deal in abstract concepts
Hmm
Jarr cannot be contained
with mere numbers, Kerjol says.
And Heiss 147 said,
This new title shift is a sign of dark days for Jarl.
Hope James comes back and brings some structure
after beheading Scott Cawthorne and Gladiator 2.
What?
Did that happen?
And Grimmy said,
What's with the drastic change in titles?
No number, no caps, how unprofessional.
Are you compensating for the lack of chaos?
Did you notice this?
No.
Good.
What happened? What have you done?
For the last two, there's, there's been no number.
Well, there is. I put in the description what the number is.
But the title is just like, the last one is just called, oh my God.
In the row of caps.
Nice.
No, I support that change.
Dealing in concepts, arguably more universal, more...
And it's, I would say it's too much order to have numbers.
especially because the numbers are so incorrect
they're not even accurate
they've been ridiculously incorrect
since like the first year
yeah
so
feeding back into the whole
pedantic
like just to be an asshole
just missing random numbers like
starting a trilogy and not finishing it
we did like episode
X part two
episode X part four
yeah we do that
and this is a Sting trilogy
that only has two parts.
Right, yeah, let's not bring that up.
There's still people bitter about that.
They still ask for it.
But the conclusion is a lack of conclusion, in a sense.
That's a statement.
Yeah, exactly.
You know what I mean?
That's more of a story.
And that feeling of discomfort that you get from,
that never being completed, that longingness,
that's an emotional reaction.
That's heart, baby.
that is art baby
it's like if the next mission impossible
comes out and then like after an hour and a half
Tom Cruise does one of his stunts and just dies
I think that would be the best way for him to end his career
like just get launched into space
like it's like it's planned almost
yeah yeah it's like the last shot of the last Mission Impossible
and he's like going into space
and he's like
well this is it guys you're like
I'm not actually going to make it back this time
He's talking to
Scottie or
Yeah, Simon Peg
It's like emotional
He's acting
It's like the ultimate
Cap to his performance
Yeah, yeah
And he's like flying straight
Towards the sun
Like in years
He's gonna read
Like Tom Cruise's body
Will reach the sun and melt
What a way to end
Yeah
I'm gonna
I'm gonna go find Zeno
Yeah man
But he
Heat wave em F, I thought.
Summarized this issue in the best of words.
Long time gamer, first time oneer here.
Is the removal of episode numbers a permanent change?
I'm so glad because I think I prefer the show without.
It makes each episode feel like its own self-contained long-form expression of pure abstraction,
the ordered chaos, the matter-of-fact, acknowledgement of the inherently incomprehensible,
the embracing of the entropyic, nonsensical lived,
experience. The feeling it evokes is particularly potent and it's something I've only ever felt
regarding JAR when Slush Puppie emerged. I don't know if you remember that one, but I think that was
the first episode where I just put a single word as the title. Oh, okay. Um, so I'm keen to see
this remain. It feels as if now that easy onboarding appears fundamentally impossible. The rejection
of order is such significant fashion, furthers the idea of JAR being a time capsule and in turn
better represents the modern zeitgeist,
so might as well bloody ditch them.
Wow, we've got an orter in the building.
Yeah, the bloody writer on our hands.
The writer, darling.
Yeah, let's get him in.
Start writing for us.
Yeah, write the script for the show,
so I don't have to do it anymore.
Yeah.
You know?
He sounds avant-garde enough.
You know, I've genuinely considered doing that.
Writing a whole episode.
A whole episode.
Mm-hmm.
but it would just
it would be so dumb
but I've done
dumb shit like that before
yeah I mean how
how would it be done
like just holding a script
like reading a script
kind of like a table read
hmm
get Mark Hamill in here
get the Disney execs in here
get Kathleen Kennedy in
all of it
um
Pizzastric says
The camera angle looks especially Wallace and Grummet
Especially shot of drinking tea
Wallace and Gromit
I'll take it
I don't think you can
Yeah you can't see it on camera because it's so high up
But we do have Wallace and Gromit on the wall up there
And the chicken
Oh and the chicken wanted post there
Yeah we are
Representing Wallace in the building
I love Wallace and Gromit
Dude, don't even start.
I genuinely think one of the best movies ever made, the wrong trousers.
Yeah.
It's...
It's...
It's...
It's...
It's perfect.
...hype as well.
It's...
Yeah, it's got the best action scene of all time.
Like, I love Mad Max, but, like, it...
Mad Max ain't got shit on the train sequence.
Yeah, nothing.
And the whole, like...
when Wallace is in the trousers and he's like
he's being used to
when he's asleep yeah yeah it's the high scene
yeah it's so fire
yeah and he wakes up to the alarm
and the tension
and like the
grommets in the box with the dog
on the box and he's using the tape measure to go
fuck it's such a masterpiece
it's so good it's so very good
maybe that's maybe we should do a as they say
on that yeah dude I could
talk the movie's only like half an hour long yeah yeah could talk about it for like a year
straight yeah that's not a bad idea low commitment one cosmic mapping says yeah that window is
really needed lol that bit of light from the outside world makes everything feel super cozy
like a snuggly hideaway while the rest of the world busies on i assume he's talking about the
old set where that the window was behind there was a window like right in the middle of us which
was annoying for me personally
I didn't love that
yeah it was kind of irritating
and when it was windy and it would blow
stuff and it would
crack a lack I guess
because the episodes we've recorded we haven't done one
with natural light yet like this
episode yeah done them all in the evening
I'm looking extremely pale
I look like the small eyes guy today
Ryan Reynolds
yeah look at my eyes they're like
oh fuck Nuggets you do
Um
But yeah, I don't know
But like
The set has changed enough times now
For me to just be like
Bro, there's a group of you complaining about the window at first
Now you're reminiscent about the window?
Yeah
Yeah
What are you offering me
Um
Seafoob says Alex has genuinely become
incomprehensible
He's genuinely on nitrous or something
You got me
No, we were talking about this earlier
Yeah, they are
And this whole weird trend of nitrous
Just becoming really popular in America
With idiot youths, I guess
Do you think part of that is due to Kanye?
That definitely would have helped
Yeah, like open up people's minds to it
Um, incredibly stupid though
Yeah, it's one of the dumbest drugs
Yeah
is it because like weed isn't cool anymore because it's like legal in so many states
so it's like we gotta we gotta get that illegal high yeah i think it's legal actually you can just
buy canisters like on amazon um huh yeah yeah i wouldn't recommend it
the only drug i would recommend is
actually there's loads of drugs i'd recommend yeah
Where to even begin?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Most drugs, actually.
Um, I thought this one from Mr. Blue Pumpkin over on the jar.
Group chat.
It was pretty good.
The support worker at the job centre, who's a lovely lady from South Africa, told me about what she names money in the UK.
She calls them Lizzie's, but now she calls them Charlie's, and jar has fucking broke me.
I've adopted this new naming, and it has made the British pound, or she calls them.
should I say the British Charlie more exciting how many Charlie's for that
Greg sausage roll or prawn cocktail crisps I mean yeah makes it makes sense I love
that you got the Charlie's right yeah I love it stacks of Charlie's
um let's do one more on this topic then on this segment
oh the poo man says on the topic of video game movies
like we're a Minecraft movie we talked about last week
do you think there is a possibility of a red dead TV show
and if so could it ever be good
no I lean towards no
um
so yeah people have talked about that before
like where's the red dead movie
just play the game
yeah
it no
it's a bad idea huh i don't think it would the characters are maybe maybe something animated maybe
then you could have the voice actors do something um but i'm thinking more like a like that matrix
movie thing where it's like a bunch of shorts just like filling in little side stories um
right like not read the tube but now you can watch it yeah am i right in thinking that
borderlands is owned by the same take two yeah yeah so after they've seen borderlands they're
probably not going to want to make any movies no going forward so and they're
do you think they could do a gta movie it's pointless it is
pointless it's just like yeah watch heat or something like a free guy yeah it doesn't make
sense like the the whole point of gta like the narrative is a big part of it but like it's the
most people who play gta i'm sure are people who just jump on either play multiplayer or go on
single player and just like rampage sandbox the sandbox yeah mess about sandbox is the word
Like especially the older ones
Like San Andreas
You put in the jetpack cheat code
And like fly around
And then
Yes
Do some other cheats
Where you can jump really high
And stuff
Like it's just goofing
And
What would be the point
Cheat codes will fire
Yeah
They're in GT5
Yeah
They're in Red Dead I think
Really
You don't even really need it though
If you got it on PC
You just mod it
Yeah
Whatever you like
we haven't spoken
we've done a segment on stuff we've been enjoying
lately
I've got one thing I particularly want to shout to
but I'd like you to give me something
is that because you know what I'm going to say
music movies I don't
I don't know brother
I mean a certain TV show
ah yeah we haven't mentioned this
I don't think I haven't mentioned
at all, which is unbelievable because I can't get it off my mind.
And I feel like it's been a mainstay with you for a while now.
Well, there's so much of it to get through, like you have to come in.
And what is it?
See, I've been someone who says like,
you can't have a guilty pleasure because like if you like it, then just like it.
But I think I have to say that house
is a guilty pleasure of mine the funny doctor it's um the funny awesome doctor yeah it's a ridiculous
show like it's actually obscene um like uh melodramatic melodramatic the the storylines are absurd
are they possible to predict or is it so absurd that it's like wow that's how he sold it what the
fuck what is it the show gives you whiplash because it will be like the goofiest most
unrealistic shit in the world and then it'll be like next scene and its house like opening up
about his traumatic childhood and it's like because Hugh Lorry fucking sells it like he's he's
a good he rocks he's amazing um he's entertaining as fuck and also ridiculously misogynistic in the
show like that what came out what
came out what 2005? The early 2000s
was wild
bro you know the you don't have to tell me
desperate housewives fan number five
yeah
but um
the
it's not just the stuff
he says because the stuff he says
are like
it's like pretty fucked up especially
considering he's in a workplace
and he's like the boss
and shit um
and that's right
I thought he was like based on Sherlock home
in some way like the house character yeah that that kind of makes sense like he's
solving problems and it's like using his mind palace I mean the show is better than
Sherlock but maybe like the worst age show ever yeah crazy and it was more recent
than yeah way more recent um but the the silver lining is kind of
of the house is genuinely just a shit he's like a horrible horrible man and the show knows it and
everyone it's not making him like a hero or a you're not supposed to idolize he's a at the same time
you are because he's like the ultimate doctor ever yeah it's almost like an anti-hero thing
almost yeah kind of um it's like the personality is really bad but he's really good at his job
Yeah, because he is practically a superhero.
Yeah.
He's kind of the perfect doctor.
But the show does also a lot of stuff to make him look pathetic at points.
Like his...
There's a way of writing that type of character.
Yeah, and sometimes the show does it well,
and sometimes it's done not so.
so well yeah um but it the melodrama and the all the actors the supporting actors they're all
like schlocky but that you can tell they're invested in the show and yeah no what it is and having
fun yeah yeah yeah at the time the show was popular as hell oh yeah it's huge for eight seasons
it's massive um so it's hard to
to not enjoy it you know because everyone involved is clearly enjoying i hear that i love that
trash the the only moral issue with watching it is the the first episode is directed by brian singer
oh really yeah he's like an executive producer on the whole show so then when when you're
watching it and there's you just see his name every episode yeah and then when there's like child actors in it
and um like all the innuendo and shit going on it's it gets kind of like yeah how much
involvement did you have with this brian fucking creep awful man but yeah i didn't yeah i didn't
consider that because it is usually yeah big director that launches these shows yeah yeah
yeah also the cg is hilarious it's really what kind of cg all sorts for like when they're
showing
like surgeries
yeah
you'd remember if you saw a scene
but it would be like
someone goes like
ah
and then it like zooms into their
into their brain
and then it would be like
electrical signals going
around inside their brain and shit
I'm trying to think like yeah
what Brian's in his direction is like
it's pretty funny
and there was one episode
where this kid was hallucinating
that like aliens were coming to get in
yeah so then it like all the doctors turned into aliens and they were just like
I love that cartoon aliens that yeah it's pretty funny that's always that happens
yeah because I've been slowly chipping my way through desperate housewives bro
it's fucked it's the best show I've made really bar none really
bar fucking none you haven't seen house well I'll get to that once I'm through seven seasons of
Desperhousewows.
Do you think it's nostalgic for us?
Because we're both watching shows that we're on in the house in our childhood.
Because that's what kind of, that's why I started watching it is because our mom would
like watch Desperate Housewives.
We have one TV in the house.
Yeah.
And House.
And House.
Yeah.
So I'd like all huff and puff and be like, I want to watch my thing.
But actually this is kind of fun.
Yeah.
yeah and like i don't know how old i would have been but quite inappropriate probably
yeah but also it's hilarious bro it's so funny it's the it's the classic like i'm sure it happens in
house when you get far enough the scenarios get goofier and goofier and goofy because they've done
everything they've done like every type of melodrama they've done the cheating they've done the
hidden child they've done all of it so like yeah you get like plane crashes happening you get like
shoot up at a grocery store you get all sorts of craziness um and that there's this one scene
in the first season where the you know um the guy in death space three he's like the funniest
character in it called carlos yeah his his nana or his mom is in hospital i think you showed me
the scene. I showed you it. Oh, bro. She like dies in the goofiest fucking way. She like
slips over. She has some like information that she needs to tell. Yeah, she's the only one with
the secret. She like wakes up in the middle of the night in the hospital and so I was
wandering around. There's no one in the hospital. And she somehow winds up slipping on these
stairs and falling down like two flights and the fucking dies. It's the funniest shit. She like tells
the secret to the one member of stuff. Yeah, yeah.
hospital oh it's so good no Danny Elfman did this the theme yeah dude and the
Giz War guy does does the music outside of that Steve Gibbonsky the house
um like theme tunes yeah I wanted to oh does it change it's it's the same artist
twice like it's season four yeah that's it just changed to that one that's uh the
the Bristol band yeah and they did a different one for the first three seasons oh really so that's
where I'd know that song from yeah yeah because I always had it in like my yeah yeah in my Apple music
all three house openers that's crazy awesome song there yeah because Luther also used the same
band yeah they make like TV show intro song
Massive attack.
Massive attack, that's it.
Yeah, they used to listen to them all the time.
Yeah, same.
Yeah, they got some bangers.
But the thing that's good, I want to recommend before we go to questions in the second half.
I mentioned on a J after hours a couple weeks ago this movie I've been obsessed with called Mars Express.
French animated film, 2023.
I was so impressed by
and kind of wanted more
like that
and in the comments
for the Sada on a cast review
that's up the Mars Express
that was someone saying like
you made this show
this niche ass show in 2016
called The Last Man
based off this
comic I've never heard of
by the same name
same name
and it's one of
rare examples where I was looking up like pages from the comic and whatnot and the show looks
way better than the comic it's like the inverse of invincible kind of thing yeah it's that
die fantasy kind of style but I pitched it to you earlier as little Mac from smash having to
deal with like blood-borne enemies and like cosmic horror and weird combo but it is really
because it like starts off it's not really a spoiler because it's known in it and it's in like the first episode and stuff but it's more grounded and gets crazier as it goes along and when you start getting to the cosmic horror stuff and with these like fight scenes like there's there's one episode um where one of the kind of like house creature of the weak monster things is clearly like an ode to a necromorph um oh that's cool and it has this whole
It's just so creative and the animation is so fucking good.
Like, way too good.
But unfortunately, like, access is a problem.
I'm saying you should just go watch it if you can find it.
But unfortunately, in the US, I think there's a way you can.
Is it something you'd, like, have to physically buy, like, order it?
You can't even do that.
You basically have no choice but to go out in the seven seats, you know?
Which is really annoying.
Yeah, you want to support
this sort of thing
Yeah, yeah
But there's no way in the UK
Which is such a bummer
Yeah
Because it's so good
And weirdly
Even though it came out in like
2015,
2014
It had one season then
But then it had another season
It came out in 2022
So yeah
There might be more to come
I don't know
I imagine it would take a long time
To make
If the animation is
Oh yeah.
That high quality.
Yeah, it's so good though.
It's like, imagine combining like sports genre with horror genre with like comedy.
It's a really unique turn, but it also like has serious moments and you like care about the stakes and whatnot.
It's very good bro.
Good luck finding it.
Yeah.
Last man.
Yeah.
I've only watched like half of it so far.
but it's like 10 minute episodes just a building story yeah i love that sort of pace yeah tv
show yeah and there's a lot to be said for that kind of genre juggling i love it yeah that's why i
think the you know the cornetto trilogy it resonates so much yeah exactly with me but they'll just
have to put sprinkling of something like some serious drama and it like yeah it like yeah it
really work. It will suddenly flip, but still be in the same vein. Like a lot of the time
in your generic American comedy, they've got the like obligatory second act, something serious
has to happen, like Bruce Almighty or something. And it's just like, yeah, the misunderstanding,
the fallout. Yeah, where Jennifer Aniston cries, the Jennifer Aniston cries bit. Um, and it's just like,
It doesn't fit, you know, whereas the Cornetto trilogy, like, it all builds into it.
Yeah.
It's internally consistent.
Mm-hmm.
There are loads of good examples, like, I can't believe I'm blanking on the freaking name.
You know, the Googly eye movie.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Everything everywhere.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That does the same thing, where it's like, laugh out loud, funny, but also crazy emotional.
Yeah.
Yeah, I love that.
Very, like, admirable.
It's one of my favorite tones, for sure.
Yeah, I think it's the most effective way to bring, like, to approach a serious emotion.
Hmm.
Is to preempt it with softness and laughter.
But yeah, the contrast of those things are so strong, as long as you nail that small scene of the inverse, then it's going to be really punchy, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah.
You're like build into it.
I feel like Pixar back in the day used to sort of ride that line.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that's a good example.
Have you seen how much money inside out two has made?
No.
It's now the, it's overtaken Lion King 2019.
Really?
which was the previous number one animated movie of all the time.
I'm serious.
So at least as an animated movie now.
I haven't seen it yet.
I like the person inside of-out.
Yeah, that's just kind of upset me though, finding out how much money...
Lion King Made.
Biggest animated movie yet.
Yeah, I hate that film.
That's in the conversation for worst films ever.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
But yeah.
Yeah, bro.
Yeah, bro.
Wea.
Look inside my head and see the suite of characters.
I don't think it would be a family-friendly one.
What, lots of lions?
Lions.
No, I'm talking about my inside-out cast.
Oh, right.
You know?
Lots of lions.
Yeah, just lots of lions, I would say.
Alex, the Lions.
There's one, yeah, it's Alex the Lion.
It's just the Madagascar cast.
There's got to be like a dinosaur there.
The big dinosaur.
That Pixar movie?
that what it's called the good oh the good dinosaur sorry the most in one ear out the other
movie ever i feel like that was the movie when they fell off do you think so i i think there's
something to be said about cars oh yeah i often just think about cars and just like how bad
of a concept that is just fundamentally because it's actually like all things aside like quite
a like well made film but except it's built on this foundation of just a bad idea yeah it's like
quite weird i this just reminded me of something i saw on youtube shorts that i need to talk about um
it was a clip of like what disney is now and it was that that animated movie that nobody watched
um where there's like a gay guy in it gay guy in it
Yeah.
What year?
Like recently?
Yeah, semi recently.
Oh, it had Jake Gillian Hall.
Yeah.
It was called like Strange World or something.
Yeah, something like that.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was like a clip of that and it was like what Disney is now.
And then it was what Disney used to be.
And it was like a clip from a planes movie that was like the World War II Blitz.
Really?
Yeah.
I never saw planes.
There was a plane like flying over getting like anti-air.
fucking machine gun being shot at it and it's like crying it's like and I was like
what the fuck like a you're using Disney's planes as like an example of good Disney just because
it has World War II shit in it also why the fuck would they make why would they put that in
planes because then the implication is that there's there's Hitler in that universe yeah car's
Hitler is Hitler a car or a plane so there was a cars holocaust do they have like can they be
gasped their cars are they do they have religion in the cars world yeah is is they must do
I guess is God a car did 9-11 happen in cars well there are planes
Fuck
Yeah
This is what I mean about that concept
It's like
How do you come up with like
Toy Story like Wally
All this like creative awesome
Up
I really like Up
Up's cool
Up came out after cars right
It did
That's why I don't
Did Wolley come out after cars
It did right
It's
It might be actually
Whereas I think that might be
My favourite Pixar movie
Yeah that is ridiculous
ridiculously good.
Is that our Incredibles, probably?
I remember getting really upset in Wally
when, you know, he gets his brain fuck.
He gets brain fucked at the end.
And then he goes to all his stuff he's collected
and just, like, turns it into a cube.
Oh, yeah, yeah, when he's, like, wiped.
Yeah, yeah.
When he just becomes normal.
There are a few, like, scenes like that.
Like, when he gets, like, injured.

Hey, it's me, Zeus, the god, my fully endorse the jarmedia merchandise available in the description below.
Thank you.
But if I have a choice, I'm not going 24-hour, that's all I'm saying.
That's all I'm saying.
But it's better?
It's for some things.
I can use it.
If you're in the North Pole.
I already am.
I found out this rock on
devil
it's a Buddhist thing
that's what it comes from
I thought it was devil
it's a sign for like wearing off
warning off like bad energy and spirits and
negativity
really yeah
so Buddha was like
rock on
I guess I don't know who popularized it
but some pop star must have
um
Yeah, bruh, bruh, it's time to do some questions from the jail media community.
Head over to that suggestion thread over on the subreddit.
Not FNAF.
Well, you can do it there if you want, like.
We won't answer it, though.
We won't.
Someone on ars slash FNAF.
Scott might.
Scott might.
He frequents it regularly.
Just like not an alien, TBH.
Jim focused question.
Have you played any games that break your old reload animation theory?
Have you played a game that has.
bad reload animations but wasn't all-round good game and or vice versa and does Alex still think
Jim's theory is BS or have you come to terms with this idea it the idea still works pretty
well it's not it's not that in love itself but what it represents maybe the the idea is that
isn't that if if a game has bad reload animations then the game is bad it's the
if a game has like the the feel of shooting in a game is directly related to the quality
of reload animation explain so say what you will about call of duty the latest call of duties
as games yeah but their shooting feels really fucking good a game feel yeah and the reload
animations look ridiculously good that's yeah i guess that is the reason they are played the
way they are because they feel so good yeah yeah yeah but like the campaign can suck like i didn't
buy the latest modern warfare but i can i can appreciate the quality of the game feel but you know
whereas like apply that to destiny then because you've got loads of issues with the reloads in that
game but i would say the game i think that they're uncreative but like they're they're not bad
yeah I'd say destiny like it I don't think it's the best feeling shooter ever made by by any means and the reload animations like a perfectly equivalent to how I feel the shooting feels really you know like the I don't know where I'd find that kind of PVE shooting that feels that good ain't borderlands no borderlands is much worse um
reload animations for the most part um there are the fun creative ones like the weapons
you throw and shit yeah like they're not good at they're they're more like conceptually
good and an example of like a really good game with reload animations that i don't think
they're great it's like bioshop one um pray but those reload animations don't affect
bioshot one to me but like the again the shooting doesn't feel
all the best. Yeah, it's not like industry standard. But it doesn't need to. No, it's not a bad
game. Like I obviously love Bioshock. I'm trying to think of other examples. I mean, for the
most part, Destiny's first person stuff does look really good. I would say, yeah. Pure animation
I'd say the animation's very good
for the most part in Destiny
Yeah they're just really boring
Like reload animations you mean
Yeah it's like I think I have some fun ones with like
Exotics and stuff
Kind of like borderlands
I think the
The most interesting one I saw was
The
I know that
I think the
The like handgun one looks shit
The hang gun one's
crap. The side-arm?
Yeah. I really don't like the SMG one.
Uh,
the Revolver one is okay.
It's quite satisfying. It's just, like, I'm,
it's all based off of my experience with it,
and they didn't really have interesting, exotic.
Not when you've learned, no.
No, no. It's more just, like, archetypes.
Yeah, when, when you've got a setting like Destiny,
where like what are the guns even shooting
Like some of them shoot like arc
Energy
Some of them shoot per vortex or whatever
It's like what does that mean? They can even shoot strand now
Strand
It's like what does that mean and how do you fill a gun with strand or you just pull the
The magazine out of either purple like a
It's because like
Even though I get what you're saying
It's that like feedback of
I guess it is what you're saying with the reload animation almost being like part of the
gameplay the reward the like crunchiness of yeah because it's not as satisfying in
mass fat when you just like vent your gun vent the hill or like slap the side of
the game even then that's still basically a similar thing right yeah um um no i'm not going to go down
that tangent. I'm not gonna do it. I'm not. Was it Halo? It wasn't actually.
No. I was gonna start talking about Eldham Ring for some reason, but they don't have guns in
Eldham Ring yet. You've got crossbows? Yeah? Those animations are pretty sloppy. Is there
an Eldon Ring gun mod? Yeah. A sniper rifle in Eldom Ring? Just...
Red Dead ones are pretty cool. Like incredibly...
unrealistic um it's just rule of cool with that one yeah and i think the the gameplay a lot of
people complain about like the sluggishness and slowness of red dead two if you made those
reload animations realistic fuck me yeah then it would be a slow it'll be practically
turn based um how are they in first person mode in that game they're pretty good
like considering
I'd say that they're better than games like
prey and stuff
interesting
madder than eggs has this to say
in light of this radical new shift and numberless
video titles what are some of your favourite past cast names
personally squash on the rocks
episode 199B has always stuck in my mind
despite the content of the episode not being particularly notable
Fair bear little chapies and thank you
There were a few from the community who chimed in
Traveling merchant likes
He is angri
Changed YouTube has
Does this smell like deja vu
I love that one
Yeah that's a good one
Bumblebee blues
A certain trending frog
That's a really good one
Yeah
Gaslighting granny
Yeah I like that
Piracy's sex and arson said
land grandfathers
we all have our own world
JAR University
Was designed with an island in mind one of them
I don't know if that was a title
It should have been
That was fire
Yeah maybe it was
Jain University
Humans born fresh
Thousands of bees with ease
Rio Rio
Pizza Bean
and madder than egg said
I believe how many puffs before become man
is also a modern classic
That was a recent one yeah
See I think I know exactly what it means
Just by hearing it even though like I don't remember
That was a Gar episode
And there's no way to become man
Then puff
But how many puff?
You can't talk about puff anymore
Yeah you can't
He ruined it
Yeah he fucking
He's ruined it
a lot throughout his whole life you just ruined it yeah everything yeah
any more pop up in your head I mean if if designed with an island in mind
isn't one of them then I give up what do you think um what's like a vague
concept or good word for this one because
it was oh my god
last week before that it was just
lol cow
hmm
see what
what do we what
what would be
okay what
desperate
house
wives
desperate house
desperate house
desperate house
desperate house's wife
I don't know
because I'm picturing like
a good thumbnail would be house
like his face
like manipulate or zoomed in somehow
you barely even have to adjust it because
like he he was
he was like thumbnail baking before
it was even a thing
yeah
and Grammy Jame had a suggestion actually
as far as these weird names are concerned
but he's make a sequel to Hot Girl Booty Spider-Man
entitled
Hawk Tour Deadpool
forever yours, Grammy James
How many times have we brought up like a meme
And been like, is this the worst one yet
That one isn't the worst one yet
Hock Tour, you like it?
I'm impartial
You just think it's nothing
Yeah, it's
I think it's so hard to gauge
What is going to catch on
Because if I'd have seen that short
Then it would have been like
Huh
and like keep going
yeah
it's like humorous
it's
yeah
like the original video I mean
um
yeah
but like
I heard starting like the
the podcast and stuff
it's quite funny
it
it's just the
what is going to catch on
is ungageable
there's no way to
to preempt it
apart from
I guess you did
with like
a skibody
that
caught on way more than I ever thought of that's gone next level yeah we've got a
movie coming with like Optimus Prime in it or something I'd see I'd watch that if I'm
being honest transformers versus the skibbitties hmm franchise pretenture you know what does it
make when a transformer mates with a skibbitty toilet what is that I want to
know what that is mate is that is that is that
in the law?
I'm going to need
the transformer
jarling to write in about that one.
I've never really been
a transformers dude.
Unless it was the helicopter one.
That one was fire.
Because that honestly did kind of blow my mind
as far as visual effects are concerned.
It was incredible. It was almost like
Jurassic Park
tier. Yeah. It was that open.
They're not the same vibe.
Yeah, that opening scene, the way it's lit, like the, it's genuinely, like, looks amazing, like, the visual effects work.
I think as far as those movies go, like, the first one as a whole, really, just looks ridiculously good.
Like, the whole sand bit as well, the Scorpion home.
It's, is it, credit where credit's due.
I'm not one to give credit to Michael Bay often, but he kind of put.
his whole pussy into that or like the the animation department or whatever the special
facts credit where credit's gee yeah all the underpaid uh animators working in slaves um don't
get any of the billions return um yeah it's like uh i remember watching the track like seeing
the trailer for that movie on youtube and being like there's no way the film's gonna look like this
this look like the special that it's no cg's not there yet but it was do you think it
it pushed the boundary I don't know I think it was just that perfect point where like
metal and metallic textures yeah not easy but just look quite good yeah it's like your brain
can't even keep up with like all these panels moving and stuff and it's quite satisfying and
kinetic about it. In my mind though it this could be true if I watched it again but in my
mind it looks better than a lot of stuff that comes out now yeah because it's a blended so well
like into environments and yeah there's like explosions and stuff are happening on set and
they're like combining at all yeah and they did cool stuff like um I'm pretty sure they did
miniature work for like the city bit where they'd have like if they knew star screen like
was going to be flying over.
They'd have like a miniature of a street
and then they'd have like stuff move.
So like little lamp posts and stuff
like move with the wind of stars green flying out.
So like there's like a real like point of reference.
There's real stuff reacting to the CG
which just makes it blend.
Whereas like when when Dr. Strange is on his like 600th.
green screen of the film like your brain knows that shame i'm obsessed with that shot from that
last spider-man movie of the like bully character it's like just standing in the street of new york
and there's no reason for it to be a green screen but it like so obviously is him standing on a green
screen it looks so bad um some of those films are going to age so badly they already have a lot
yeah yeah um but then in saying that like iron man's kind of like the transformance thing yeah yeah
that but like iron man one aged better than like uh civil war yeah a lot of parts of civil war
like kind of look like dick now like ugly yeah the whole fight scene at the airport super like
washed out looking it's washed out and the cg looks like a layer on top
of stuff and you you can just it's like a sixth sense you feel uh like why do they
said it like that time of the day as well mm like maybe if it was like golden hour and it
but then because it's all just done in like a big warehouse like yeah yeah so it's all
like so meticulously controlled hmm yeah I haven't thought about that one in a while
grey movie but has got it's got some cool
stuff in it. I like it. I really like it. Yeah, yeah. I hear what you're saying. I just wish.
I don't know. I, some characters I feel like work well with like a muted color thing, but like
the Avengers. When I think the Avengers, I think like bright colors. Yeah, pop in. Yeah. I don't
know. Especially if you've got Spider-Man jumping around and yeah, yeah. But the Avengers one is
quite a good example. There's some ridiculously good looking shit in that film. Yeah.
The Hulk running through that broken glass looks incredible.
Yeah.
But also some of it looks like Dick, like crazy bad now.
Yeah.
For the same kind of reasons.
Yeah.
Hmm.
Just do a couple more here before we wrap this episode up.
Dibble Dobb has a suggestion.
Bebo Boys, many years ago, you had the title slash thumbnail competition
to see who would bring in the most views.
likes, etc. YouTube now has an A-B thumbnail feature, which allows you to upload multiple
thumbnails to a single video and it will show one thumbnail to some people and the other
to the rest, allowing you to compare the performance against each other. Could we see a sequel to
the aforementioned competition where you each pick out a thumbnail for a cast? We could do that
for this one, like a house one and a desperate housewives one. Can you do three? I think you
can upload three. Because if you did a house one, a
Desperate House Waves one and a house and desperate Housewheres one.
Oh, the combo, I see what you're saying.
Yeah, yeah.
And then one of James, because he's the O.G. House.
Yeah.
Yeah, we'll have to start calling him Greg.
That's House's first name, Gregory House.
Oh, okay. Thanks for the house law.
No problem.
filling me in, cash me out.
Yeah, I'll do that. That's funny.
let's end on this one and glitch time fail hello jar hello I just want to ask you
what are some things that remind you that life is a gift and that life can be
beautiful I'm a highly empathetic person who's often saddened by events of the
world so I'd just like to hear what you think makes life valuable despite its
challenges thanks guys I was hoping you were gonna lead on this one
coffee
food
yummy
I can't even say that anymore
because there's like a
60% chance it's just going to
give me a stomach cramp and diarrhea
bro
don't spread that rear curse
don't spread that curse
cursaria
uh
life is a gift
I think
I mean that's horse shit
Hmm?
Life is a gift
What do you mean?
Why is it all shit?
So you're a glass half empty kind of guy, huh?
No, it's just, it's more the terminology I don't like.
What does it mean, a gift?
It's a metaphor.
Well, what's a gift?
Something you've been given.
Well, it can't be given because I can't exist without it.
It's an essential.
I have to have it. Otherwise, there is no...
Exactly. Isn't that what gives it value?
No? Having it. Being alive.
But there's no alternative.
There is.
Well, not...
To being alive.
There's obviously an alternative to being alive, but there's...
You didn't consent or choose to be alive.
I didn't have to be boring.
It's true though.
well yeah I don't I just don't consider it that I think like good things are nice and bad things aren't you know where my mind goes is like the scale of everything there's like a beauty to that to me like earth as a thing is like a thing is like a
It's like a fairy tale or something
This Goldilocks zone
There's just this one planet
In this sea of emptiness
That has all of this going on
It's like crazy
It made Fortnite
It made Fortnite
Yeah
And Minecraft
Yeah
Which is another world
That's a one two punch right there
Yeah
And that's beautiful
Yeah I mean
It
I think music
Mm-hmm
Art
In general
I think
Learning
Curiosity
Curiosity
Curiosity
It keeps happening lately
Yeah I've noticed
Only when recording though
Interesting
That's because I'm so nervous.
Yeah.
I'm so scared.
Curiosity.
Hello.
Welcome to you, everyone.
Um, yeah, I think, I think learning is a good one.
Just.
Hmm.
Discovering.
Discovery.
Discovery.
Discovery.
Yeah.
Um.
Water.
Water.
Water is really nice.
and we all just are it.
Aren't we?
Mostly, yeah.
Yeah, I don't know.
Wrong do is to ask.
Yeah, definitely.
Arangetans.
Ask people not in Britain.
Yeah, or at least if you're going to ask us,
you've got to time it for the 15 minutes of sun we get,
so then we can, like, have some vitamins in our...
Saying that, it's actually been pretty sunny,
like the one day we got yeah it's gonna rain like hell tomorrow um yeah just to call back as well
to when we were like defending england what do you mean do you remember that we're saying how
england is being talked about is this like hellscape yeah but only we're allowed to do that is the
point yeah i mean basically because like i i think i could be remembered
bring it wrong but I don't know if I was too defensive because when was this it
it was like three episodes ago oh recently yeah we were on like England
defense because of like all the shit Elon Musk has been saying and stuff oh I see
but I don't I want to reiterate that like we're not in a good place here no it's
Because it kind of sounded like we were, again, from my memory.
It was more of the issue of like the conversations that are happening are inaccurate,
but that doesn't mean there aren't issues happening as well.
But it's more the way we're going about spreading this information
and talking about it is not actually addressing any of these issues
and everything's just getting worse as far as that stuff's concerned.
Yeah, so to tie that back to the question at hand, the more you are, like, engaging with the rhetoric of that, like, everything's fucked type mentality, the harder it is to see, uh, the gift of life, gift in the air quotes.
I'm reminded by quaintor things, like, I just love the environment, man.
I mean it yeah see I was gonna say that but when I I took argue for a walk the other day up in like the by lake in the woods and stuff and I looked over at the the lush environment and then slap bang in the center of the landscape was the the local dump yep it's like a loach film you can like see the green stink yeah and it looks fucking horrendous and it's like can't have shit we can have shit we can have shit
Life isn't a gift, it's a curse
Or how about this
Um
No, I can't remember it
I was going to do that Kung Fu Panda quote
Where he says something kind of like that
You know
Ogui
He's talking about the present
The present
My presence is a present
Kiss my ass
That's the one
Yeah
Master Ugui
Master Ugui
Classic Ugui
classic
the Oude from
Doctor Who make me
enjoy life
yeah
if that makes sense
it doesn't
I would say as my final
one
the Slithine
I probably
my equivalent
you know
yeah
and as my last one
um
the cyber
truck.
I want to see Mr. B. see how many cybermen he can run over with a cyber truck
before it breaks or something.
Before he gets arrested.
Trying to survive two years in the cyber mainframe with Doctor Who while blindfolded.
With Christopher Eccleston, feet Christopher Eccleston.
broader I think it's time to start enjoying this gift of life yeah I think the
gift is trying to sit like the yarl from Skyron you look that is yeah he's like so
relaxed you know I wish I could be that relaxed I'm the yarl maybe we just
need to become yarls you know I wish that was like when I was 10 I found out what
y'all was and it was like there you go that's what that's my mission that's my
mission yeah like some some balanced people might be like oh i'm going to just be a doctor and go
and become a doctor but that go right there
