Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:24 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?
Starting point is 00:00:42 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
Starting point is 00:01:05 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
Starting point is 00:01:23 how do they say it It No they would say T, the T It It On my scone Please
Starting point is 00:01:38 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
Starting point is 00:01:55 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
Starting point is 00:02:10 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
Starting point is 00:02:23 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
Starting point is 00:03:16 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...
Starting point is 00:03:37 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.
Starting point is 00:03:52 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
Starting point is 00:04:03 Which is cool Which is awesome Um Yeah so the The new controversy is in The new jar traverses in Uh oh New das
Starting point is 00:04:14 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,
Starting point is 00:04:30 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.
Starting point is 00:04:46 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.
Starting point is 00:05:08 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
Starting point is 00:05:29 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
Starting point is 00:05:43 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.
Starting point is 00:05:59 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,
Starting point is 00:06:19 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
Starting point is 00:06:38 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
Starting point is 00:06:54 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
Starting point is 00:07:02 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
Starting point is 00:07:14 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,
Starting point is 00:07:43 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,
Starting point is 00:08:19 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.
Starting point is 00:08:35 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
Starting point is 00:08:47 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
Starting point is 00:09:02 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
Starting point is 00:09:18 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
Starting point is 00:09:36 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...
Starting point is 00:09:53 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.
Starting point is 00:10:09 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
Starting point is 00:10:25 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
Starting point is 00:10:46 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
Starting point is 00:11:14 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
Starting point is 00:11:32 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
Starting point is 00:11:51 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
Starting point is 00:12:05 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
Starting point is 00:12:23 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
Starting point is 00:13:04 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.
Starting point is 00:13:21 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
Starting point is 00:14:12 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
Starting point is 00:14:33 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
Starting point is 00:15:32 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
Starting point is 00:16:11 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
Starting point is 00:16:18 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
Starting point is 00:16:31 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
Starting point is 00:16:48 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.
Starting point is 00:17:09 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
Starting point is 00:17:58 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
Starting point is 00:18:36 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
Starting point is 00:18:49 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
Starting point is 00:19:15 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.
Starting point is 00:20:03 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
Starting point is 00:20:47 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
Starting point is 00:21:42 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
Starting point is 00:22:05 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
Starting point is 00:22:18 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
Starting point is 00:22:50 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.
Starting point is 00:23:15 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
Starting point is 00:23:44 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
Starting point is 00:24:33 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
Starting point is 00:25:22 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.
Starting point is 00:25:59 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
Starting point is 00:26:28 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
Starting point is 00:26:44 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
Starting point is 00:27:49 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?
Starting point is 00:28:17 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
Starting point is 00:28:28 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
Starting point is 00:28:43 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.
Starting point is 00:28:54 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.
Starting point is 00:29:19 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,
Starting point is 00:30:19 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.
Starting point is 00:30:46 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.
Starting point is 00:31:12 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.
Starting point is 00:31:39 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.
Starting point is 00:31:54 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.
Starting point is 00:32:09 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.
Starting point is 00:32:26 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.
Starting point is 00:32:41 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
Starting point is 00:33:25 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.
Starting point is 00:33:53 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?
Starting point is 00:34:10 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
Starting point is 00:34:50 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
Starting point is 00:35:15 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
Starting point is 00:35:26 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?
Starting point is 00:35:39 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.
Starting point is 00:35:57 There are a few, like, scenes like that. Like, when he gets, like, injured. Like, he's, like, limping? Because the track It's like gone That's like Yeah This is really great
Starting point is 00:36:08 Expressive Yeah Animation Really sympathetic What a good movie One awesome movie One of my favourite Lego sets I have too
Starting point is 00:36:17 My little wallie guy Fair Fair Mm-hmm But anyway We'll see you after these Messages For some questions
Starting point is 00:36:26 Family Guy Family Guy Family Guy Funny Yeah 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.
Starting point is 00:36:50 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
Starting point is 00:37:09 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
Starting point is 00:37:25 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.
Starting point is 00:37:45 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.
Starting point is 00:37:58 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
Starting point is 00:38:54 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
Starting point is 00:40:07 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
Starting point is 00:41:00 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
Starting point is 00:41:16 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,
Starting point is 00:41:35 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
Starting point is 00:41:58 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
Starting point is 00:42:18 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
Starting point is 00:43:07 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
Starting point is 00:43:58 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
Starting point is 00:44:22 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
Starting point is 00:44:40 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
Starting point is 00:44:53 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
Starting point is 00:45:10 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
Starting point is 00:45:29 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
Starting point is 00:45:47 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
Starting point is 00:46:21 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
Starting point is 00:46:38 desperate house wives desperate house desperate house desperate house desperate house's wife I don't know
Starting point is 00:46:50 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
Starting point is 00:47:06 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
Starting point is 00:47:27 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
Starting point is 00:47:43 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
Starting point is 00:47:56 like the original video I mean um yeah but like I heard starting like the the podcast and stuff it's quite funny it
Starting point is 00:48:03 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
Starting point is 00:48:18 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?
Starting point is 00:48:52 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
Starting point is 00:49:12 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.
Starting point is 00:49:41 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
Starting point is 00:50:34 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.
Starting point is 00:51:20 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.
Starting point is 00:51:49 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
Starting point is 00:52:45 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
Starting point is 00:53:36 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.
Starting point is 00:54:01 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
Starting point is 00:54:30 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.
Starting point is 00:55:02 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
Starting point is 00:55:27 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
Starting point is 00:55:54 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
Starting point is 00:56:12 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.
Starting point is 00:56:28 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?
Starting point is 00:56:53 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.
Starting point is 00:57:14 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
Starting point is 00:58:00 It made Fortnite It made Fortnite Yeah And Minecraft Yeah Which is another world That's a one two punch right there Yeah
Starting point is 00:58:08 And that's beautiful Yeah I mean It I think music Mm-hmm Art In general I think
Starting point is 00:58:27 Learning Curiosity Curiosity Curiosity It keeps happening lately Yeah I've noticed Only when recording though Interesting
Starting point is 00:58:41 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.
Starting point is 00:58:55 Hmm. Discovering. Discovery. Discovery. Discovery. Yeah. Um. Water.
Starting point is 00:59:09 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.
Starting point is 00:59:28 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
Starting point is 00:59:57 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,
Starting point is 01:00:56 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
Starting point is 01:02:14 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
Starting point is 01:02:30 The present My presence is a present Kiss my ass That's the one Yeah Master Ugui Master Ugui Classic Ugui
Starting point is 01:02:41 classic the Oude from Doctor Who make me enjoy life yeah if that makes sense it doesn't I would say as my final
Starting point is 01:02:57 one the Slithine I probably my equivalent you know yeah and as my last one um
Starting point is 01:03:09 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
Starting point is 01:03:48 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
