Good evening, podcast listeners. Terrorist Solomon Lane and his group of apostles have stolen plutonium for a nuclear attack.
In response, your three hosts have decided to watch this from fancy leather chairs that jostle them around.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to listen to the boys talk about the chairs.
If you're caught listening to this by a significant other or someone you respect, the host will disavow any knowledge of your actions this podcast will self-destruct in odds are verging on two hours
good luck this is podcast the ride 4dx edition Welcome to Podcast The Ride, hosted by three guys who will tear you a new asshole
if you call it the Main Street Electrical Parade song instead of Baroque Hoedown.
The song has a name.
Show some respect and learn it.
That's an edict from me, Scott Gairdner.
And hopefully you guys agree, Mike Carlson.
I do agree.
And I think I'm upset.
Let me take a look here.
Is that in my Apple Music, I don't know if it says baroque
i think it might list it incorrectly tsk tsk well i mean if it's on a disney album then it is what
it is i guess i just know that the original song that it's based on the meat of it and i won't do
anymore we have to pay for it uh baroque codown is the main thing by electronic music pioneers
perry and kingsley yeah look at this disney's electrical parade is what it's listed as here
and it's bullshit you're right hmm it's so cold down great i'm mad at the album yeah too disney
also in the wrong jason sheridan is here yeah so how long is that track, though, that you pulled up? Nine minutes, 57 seconds. So that's the full loop, though.
Yes, yes.
That's the whole thing you can hear.
Which does not, of which Baroque hoedown is a piece.
Right.
But also, obviously, it goes into, you know, Alice in Wonderland music and Cinderella music
and what have you.
So I guess that is an accurate title, and all is forgiven with this album.
Man, that was a close.
I was really upset there for two minutes.
But now we're okay.
Now everything's fine.
Hey, we're on Disney's side.
Hey, in multiple ways.
Guys, the union issue worked out.
Yes.
Congratulations to Disney employees getting $15 an hour by next year. by next year yeah they get an immediate raise
and then they get 15 an hour which is going to be beating i guess the minimum wage in california
which is going to be 15 by 2020 yes so and then ahead of the curve and all it took was some of
the employees threatening to build a shantytown on the side of Disneyland. That's all it took.
And the most popular politician in the country coming to Disney, coming to Anaheim, shaming them and then dragging them on Twitter for months.
Harassing Bob Iger specifically.
Harassing Bob Iger.
Hey, these things make a difference.
I don't think anybody wants to be like mean and angry right now but i
think it's what you have to do to yes get attention change which i guess which is also true of
installing you as the mayor maybe we gotta get bernie on our side and this and he needs to endorse
you i bernie ocasio i want everyone bernie ocasio dual event to endorse jason as the mayor and let the record show this is mayor disneyland uh uh
a friend of uh mine future future potential guest uh avery monson texted me today he's like hey you
know in the current golden horseshoe show there is a mayor frontier land i have no beef with him
but i will be rat fucking him but just for fun just nixon style rat fucking but just for
kicks just to assert your dominance and the frontier land certainly is within your jurisdiction
yes will he let you use the golden horseshoe for a campaign event the with the bernie uh the bernie
event like where would the bernie event be take place as a big fundraising event in disneyland like what's the best value for
your side i mean the biggest is lincoln but maybe you have to appeal to to lincoln himself
permission yeah i don't know i mean there's a venue obviously like the uh where they do the
mickey and the magical map show that's a pretty big venue but maybe not the intimacy you're looking
for you know what maybe it's a handshake that maybe it's at the the country bear you know maybe it's at the restaurant
you're asking you're saying the hungry bear oh yeah yeah yeah the hungry bear excuse me yeah
country bears all i can picture is them on the restroom signs um the politician in ohio or i'm
sorry iowa kind of like you know on the on the stump shaking hands in the diner is what you're
thinking oh okay well that's kind of thing yeah but you want the event to take like could it be in the dining
room on the haunted mansion oh how about this okay go ahead the phantasmic stage the phantasmic
stage and everyone surrounds the rivers of america and then you take the little raft over at the end
when everyone's clapping and then you start shaking hands you get okay but then like does the maleficent dragon come out and it says like
bad policy or bad government and then you and mickey like slay the dragon no obviously we
want the maleficent dragon under it's a big tent we want the maleficent dragon on our side you don't
slay her you convert her oh that's good yes that's better
rationale to get her in the tent with policies that appeal to people and their daily lives
much less exciting phantasmic show but i i get why you're get your point yeah
and if hopefully we can get if somebody who looks kind of like you can pop up in a different place and
then you appear like closer to the riverbank like a like a little magic switch out like mickey does
and you pop up at the very end and say some policies huh absolutely yeah i mean some platform
eh no one said you can't have a little fun in politics, you know?
Little razzle dazzle.
Little razzle dazzle.
Well, I'm looking forward to the, well, no, you'd replace Mick Fantaz-
Jay.
Fantaz Jay Sheridan.
Let's just go the other way.
Jace Taz Mick.
Ooh.
Jace Taz Mick.
Jace Taz Mick.
Yeah.
It represents Mickey and you.
Yeah. oh jace tasmic jace tasmic yeah it represents mickey and you yeah um hey well you know today
we're talking about uh we're gonna we're gonna have just a little fun casual episode here and
talk about what we consider the the thrill ride of the summer mission impossible 4dx mission
impossible fallout 4dx i don't know where the colons and dashes go exactly.
No idea.
And this is not, don't worry about spoilers in this episode
because this is really, you know,
I think in my mind we're less talking about the film
and more talking about what the chairs do.
There is one moment that is a spoiler
that I would like to talk about,
but I will indicate ahead of time i'm just saying
uh i don't think it's a episode chock full of spoilers yes i say i say tune in even if you
haven't seen the film and we will certainly convince you to go enjoy this 40x experience
if it's in your town which it is if you live in korea or japan and possibly not unless you're in uh or one place in slovenia
is that right i think it's a 40x in slovenia hey it's a very weird spot melania's parents go uh
go chill go take your mind off everything going on with your daughter melania's dad who looks just
like trump yes google it that's not a joke google melania's father and it's a big man with a red tie with
a stern face and it's shocking it's a very funny yeah thing that cuts through the cutter and
clutter and explains it i'm gonna warn right now though i'm probably gonna fuck it up it just
starts dropping spoilers oh that's fine yeah so feel free to razzle i'm sorry it's slovakia
slovakia oh no well i don't know
what's close to where but they can uh yeah they can check it out um but you know before
we get into all that i thought this might be a nice place to uh tell you guys about something
that i that i came across um a couple episodes ago uh in the 20,000 Leagues episode with Stoney Sharp, something spilled out of the backlog of my brain, which is that when I was about 10 years old, I did an assignment for school in which I made up an imaginary theme park based on then topical events and the theme park was oj land and the reason this
came up well i forget which well maybe that came up first and then we and then we specifically
talked about one of the attractions in the show which was captain ito a judge lance ito themed
redo of michael jackson's captain eo which by the way since we talked about
that incredibly we were all together when this was discovered uh we were sent fan art of captain
ito on instagram which was fantastic i don't have i don't have his info in in front of me but
fantastic and also me as a centaur. Oh, that's right.
From my experience volunteering at a show.
Whoa.
Okay.
Well, yeah.
Let's give him a shout out if you don't mind looking it up.
It's amazing.
CJ Word.
It's Christopher James Warrington.
Thank you very much.
Check out his Instagram.
There's a lot of really fun art on there. uh great work thank you so much for that um but seeing this you know this new well-rendered art
made me think i need to go back into the archives and find the real deal all right so what i have
to present to you now is the original i mean photocopies of it. But I have this school assignment.
Oh, my gosh.
And I will hand it out to you guys now.
Now, I haven't, like, vetted this terribly.
These are photocopies.
I'm allowed to mark up each copy if I want.
Although I spilled a little water on all of them.
But you can grade it like a teacher.
I have a ballpoint pen here that is a promotional pen from the movie after
earth beautiful i stole it from a restaurant when i found it and i said i i don't steal pens i'm a
good boy but after earth i must have it yeah yeah you'd appreciate more appreciate it more than
other people so i all right i i strive on this show to not find myself in a vulnerable position, but I feel like I needed to throw this out
and not look at it too carefully,
not vet it before you guys took a look.
And I'm not saying we need to read the whole thing.
I don't want to,
we shouldn't spend a ton of time on it.
I'm just,
I would just like if you guys rifled through
and just like noted any right details that jump out the front
page uh is kind of the drive into oj land seemingly florida inspired this tree is it's
clearly kind of a swampy uh vibe and uh and oj is up at the top of the sign in a in a prison uniform
like the hambler hamburglar right would wear though he certainly almost did not wear that uniform.
I have a question. I don't think I mentioned this on the show.
Was this inspired by all the
Jay Leno, OJ jokes
of the time? Because you were a big Leno fan
as a child. My friend...
Oh, is it in here?
I was kind of hoping you wouldn't
find it.
I have some just set up.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
He was about
to say something uh uh hey where there's no set order to go through this you described it i wanted
more contacts but go ahead no no no here let's let's get in the car you'll you'll hear it you'll
hear all right fine all right how how what grade was this and how old would that um i want to say
fifth grade though it could be four i'm pretty sure it was fifth grade okay and this is the thing that my parents thought was so clever and the teacher mrs moldovan and it
was it was talked about for a long time and when i started expressing desire to get into comedy
writing as a field they were all like well you'll be a natural right you did oj land when by the way on the front a extremely creative and that's an a with
two underlines two underlines not the two lines did not form a plus to make an a plus but i i do
consider the underlines a great compliment it's funny because this does really speak to the climate
of the 90s because this is obviously very creative and you would go on to be a very creative adult but if you really think about this it's ghastly oh it's crazy yeah but like that but that's why
i asked the jay leno thing because like it was sort of commonplace for him just to be like and
then oj simpson he's chopping up people like he would just say stuff like that and that was a joke
even though it was a horrible thing that had happened i think it reflects a really in the dark
time and that i you know i blame leno for making me feel like this wasn't like this this was fair
game to to make fun of i mean and you know what i will say is the circus surrounding the uh the
event oh i get why game but i think i'm not even sure i was totally clued
in until that great documentary made in america as to how as to how ghastly the actual murder was
and i think it's something a lot of people overlooked and with that and now that i've said
that let's read yeah no we have to read it all did aboutyear-old did about it. Right out the gate, the first sentence.
Come to OJ land, the most politically correct place on earth.
Now, let's unpack that.
I've been trying to myself, and I thought about leaving that page out.
I've been giving it to you guys, but I thought I have to just throw it all out there. That feels like an event of its era and a term that came into the public conscious
just kind of mushed together.
Yeah, it's really unclear.
And what I think it is,
is something that my dad was railing against.
I think it might refer to the fact
that racial politics took over the trial.
And I think maybe my dad possibly was ranting about political correctness as it pertained to the uh to the event and then i combined it with
the disneyland phrase the happiest place on earth you know there's other things in this document
where i do feel like i grasped more of the complexities of the trial yeah how but that is
certainly not
one of them and i'd like to apologize for it but with that said i think it gets less less
embarrassed well no that's not true because well i just sold juice and ears a combination of juice
and imagine and engineers not imagineers oh my goodness and this is all written in like
i think fourth and fifth grade was in there really
like you have to write in cursive yes which is i think for most people uh uh although not everyone
in my family i as soon as i didn't have to write in cursive anymore i'm like great bailed yeah my
signature now is a squiggle uh uh yeah i am terror although i'm sure if i did cursive
right now it would look exactly like the cursive i'm doing cursive right now to see if i remember
how to do it there was like a weird kind of do the sats there's like a statement you have to
transcribe it's like a legal thing and you have to do it in cursive geez and it's hooked forever
is there was there like a cursive lobby at a certain point
or a person in the government or an education that was really trying to push the cursive is
like a really like sophisticated way to communicate my dad went to to catholic school like k through
12 and i know the nuns and priests were very much like curse i feel like people who went
to catholic schools where i grew up stuck with cursive. Yeah, and my parents seem to find it like a moral imperative to keep cursive alive.
But I'm not sure why.
Is it something to do with politeness or with...
Decora.
It's all decorum stuff.
The same reason they want you to know the right fork for the right knife for butter.
Yeah, I guess so.
We're not talking about knives.
Back to OJ.
Printing was just the commoners way to write
lazy is what it is they claim that they have copyright restrictions i mean feel free to just
there's also a narrative there's also a narrative going on here too wait until you just i it's
pretty this is the worst thing i've had to reveal on the show i didn't have to i volunteered it and
you'll see what it is also the creative team got jay leno host of the tonight show this way we
could play his songs and use the dancing etos the famous the dancing etos so they incorporate you
didn't make your own new version this is a part this is a corporate partnership with the the jay
leno tonight show
scott i love it you figured out licensing agreements yeah yeah i was i was plenty aware
hey i went to disneyland i knew that things said copyright lucasfilm and i knew we had to
we had to work with the leno film let me back up and just volunteer uh and say um okay the whole
idea was born from a young boy from a San Fernando Valley.
Ten-year-old Scott Gairdner is this boy.
He said that OJ land will never be completed as long as...
Well, boy, it felt that way sometimes.
That's where that trial just kept going.
As long as OJ is still in civil court.
Wow.
That's something to note is that I think this was done in the the lead up to the civil trial and they the criminal trial was uh already over the die was
cast so if you to connect those pieces and and i will in this next part uh that's that's that tells
you my involvement me a 10 year old boy then yeah then we partner with jay l Jay and Scott created the attractions and shows.
They also created the layout of the park.
I like if a listener could make some fan art of you as a 10 year old boy and Jay Leno working together over like drafting papers or in like models, working models.
I am in a little denim suit the way that Dustin Hoffman as Hook made the kid be in a miniature
Hook costume.
Leno dressed me as him.
I'm under his control.
So, this is like a fan fiction of me, a boy, working alongside Jay Lenoeno made all the stranger by the fact that i i went and worked for
ostensibly the enemy of the yes of the cone of the of the leno tonight show what became the conan
or what you know what was briefly the the tonight show i guess 10 year old me would have been
disappointed very disappointing lines um but what pirates of the dream yeah the lands here are good so it says
oj's adventure land adventures land i guess there's an s at the end of that but maybe that's
a typo yeah now you're into the attract the list of attractions uh oh sorry yeah so so um enchanted
living room is one of the rides i mean this does this does, for a 10-year-old,
this is obviously a high level of being able to do parody
and combining two things.
Thank you.
You can tell.
That is why people were reacting to it.
Thank you so much, Mike.
And something that I think about a lot
is that I am specifically, in my writing career,
a little lacking in the area of topical comedy.
And I think I peaked at 10 years old.
I think if I could get some of this mojo back,
maybe they'd take my packet at Cordon.
I don't even know that you need to get the mojo back.
I think you're just bringing...
I think we're selling limited run chat books of this, right?
That's what they...
It's not quite a book.
It's not quite a magazine, right?
That's what they call...
I'm not sure.
...like a nice pamphlet sort of thing.
I think we're selling this.
There's some form this site can live in.
This is going to be like Army Man.
We're going to sell a few hundred of these,
and this will be the next generation of comedy weirdos.
The self-distributed magazine that predated The Simpsons
and other shows.
Yeah, I think this will be just as influential so pirates of
the dream team as jason said that one may be a little less like clever title wise but it had
to get moved down it wasn't in the right i i foolishly listed it as part of oj's adventures
land and not is there a new orleans square oh it gets classified oh it's in dream team land it's in oh oh i see i see i see
yeah i think today i would do like dream team square usa i'd get it a little more right because
it shouldn't always be land obviously they they change it up oh but yeah maybe i'll just list the
lands oj's adventures land land of mystery not sure. I'd X that.
That's off the list.
Furmanland.
Furmanland is what I wanted to talk about next.
Yeah.
So Mark Furman.
What does it say here?
Monthly shows?
Is Mark Furman doing a monthly show here?
Like, you know, Elvira at Knott's.
Look, he's a celebrity.
We know we're not getting
Mark Furman. Right.
There's nothing about the racism here, though,
to suggest that that's a part of it.
I think that's a thing that I maybe wouldn't have grasped
back then, and thank God,
because I think 10-year-old me's racial
politics might have to be
deleted from the podcast.
I wasn't a racist kid.
I'm just saying i probably
was not i didn't grasp the nuances issue even though the mark firmer was not really a nuance
he was just super racist but see i didn't all that i didn't know at the time the nazi collector
my parents were not of you know what i caught was uh i saw the dancing edos and i knew that
johnny cochran went on these rants
That people found kind of funny and put on costumes
I didn't my parents I think shielded
Me from the fact that there was a tape where he said the n-word
A ton of times oh yeah I mean this is the
Thank god this all of this is the
Lenofied yes cartoon
Version of this
Which is sort of a
That's a good way to almost to say
Like whitewashing or like
yes covering up the more difficult end of the thing i consider myself having been brainwashed
by leno as you as as will be evident in this art of me in the little denim suit it is interesting
because like people are always like well you know we need to laugh we need to make jokes about all this stuff but to a kid it really makes it into like this like not vicious
thing at all yeah maybe no more jokes about anything ever yeah that is kind of horrifying
in our current reality where everything is speeding up everything is just getting odder and odder all like what do
kids joke about trump what do god help me what do kids joke about me too jesus christ that one's
just impossible there's no like fun characters everybody's just bad i think the the the oj trial
and the way it was presented it was just so much more of an innocent time despite it being about
this horrible thing and here's what i was gonna say about trump is that no one stays in the
administration long enough really to be this like colorful character i mean i guess sean spicer and
sarah sanders or parody never but the way that these attorneys right just kind of had like these
how imagine that the lawyers had this kind of grip on pop culture
that they didn't really ask for yeah um and for for months for for years even um yeah it's crazy
and i loved i i soaked up every part of it and in great with great parodies like darden rail
i was gonna say it says marcia in legal land and darden Rail. Darden Rail? Oh, Darden Rail. I gave Darden
the monorail. Am I missing?
I probably am missing it. Where is
Kato in all of this? Hmm.
Is Kato in the back anywhere?
I'm not sure Kato is
represented. That's crazy. Because Kato is
the most kid-friendly cartoon character
in my mind at the time.
I knew the Kato joke. Oh, Kato
is that silly. He's the silly guy in
the back he's like shaggy from scooby-doo zoinks og oh man um well easy fix the kato cell uh and
it's all the all the vehicles are all uh different it's all him sleeping at different minutes of the
night it's him sleeping at 234 it's oh that It's him sleeping at 2.34. It's him sleeping at 3.45.
I would say the Kato, you could have the hotel rooms, like the Kato suite,
and it's just like this tiny room in the back of the hotel.
Yeah.
I approve.
If it was like a Star Wars immersive style hotel like they're going to build,
you would have a teenager playing Kato,
and he'd kind of come over and try to hang out with you during the day.
Uh-huh.
And the window would be blacked out, and you would have a view of oj's brentwood yeah yeah
yeah it would be it would be digital screens instead of windows i i like all this i like
these ideas i would say i do have to run everything by jay just for final approval but in the but in
theory i looking yeah he may have an issue uh looking at the oj simpson story featuring a
moment with mr simpson now i'm hoping it's not the moment i'm thinking of uh but i do admire
fourth grade scott's commitment of using the full official like just referenced in a in an episode very recently the the convoluted nature of the
title yeah and now yeah uh yeah i knew it i knew it then um hal cowling reference here california
cowlings i mean this is great like i will say like if you and i met and we i was what 11 and
you were 10 or whatever you had much more you had more names
than i did i knew kato i think i probably knew johnny cochran i knew oj i knew the gist of it
i don't think i knew as deep as yeah i don't think al collings was in my brain at that point
let alone to make the leap that him driving the jeep is like you driving the Jeep in the Indiana Jones. Right.
Him avoiding obstacles.
And the people with signs on the freeway are like the dart blowers.
OJ's haunted mansion.
And the tagline here is when the court took a field trip to OJ's house, it was decorated so nicely.
Could it be haunted this is a reference to when they revamped the the the decor oh right to make him a more appealing for and and to sort of nod
to his heritage and stuff they did a little they like dressed up the the house this is i don't
think i was very cognizant of this all at the time but i watched
religiously the people versus oj simpson on fx like a year and a half two years ago so this this
is all al cowlings took me a second yeah so okay so there's there's a drawing which i assume is
johnny cochran and it says the lion King Parade. Yes. There's also a
Lion King parking garage? Did I see
that right? Possibly.
I think this is another combination of
topical thing of the time. They didn't
movie The Lion King. Well, it's
spelled lion, though. Oh, yeah.
Sorry, it's L-Y-I-N
King. Apostrophe.
Apostrophe King. He's Johnny Cochran. He's telling
lies. He's The Lion the lion so you were anti
that still was that that seems like that could have easily you could have worked in the leno
writers room with that this is a movie coming out here and it's uh you know it's called the
lion king or whatever it's like yeah that's not the joke obviously but you like that would be a
joke that i could see being on.
Yeah.
There's a way to frame that.
There's a way to do it.
To make it a Leno joke.
Yeah, look, this has a packet.
I think I have a packet ready to go.
It's probably for the Jay Leno car show at this point, but maybe that's still a job.
Do you think he'd have oj on the car show
whoa that's an idea hey uh smile bronco jet juice you like this bring back memories huh
i mean wouldn't that that would be a ratings event to end all ratings events that let leno and oj in a car together in a bronco together we're
gonna drive to judge ito's grave in paris did he did he pass away i think judge ito passed away
did he didn't he yeah i think he did if that's not true then jason you're the lion king
uh no he is still alive jason all right who passed away i think you're the Lion King. Oh. No, he is still alive, Jason.
All right.
What?
Who passed away?
I think you're thinking of Judge Ito's brother.
What?
And as I said that, I went, what are you talking about, Michael?
But let me look this up.
Why would you know that he is dead?
I feel like there was some, I mean, I'll look it up later, but there's some.
You're talking about his brother, Captain Ito.
Captain Ito has passed away, yes.
Somebody told me some story about Judge Ito's brother,
and maybe they think that's who you're thinking of.
Did Judge Wapner die?
I think a judge has died in the last 20 years.
Well, Cochran passed away. I think a judge has died in the last 20 years or so.
Well, Cochran passed away.
Yes.
Judge Wapner is, let's see.
Judge Reinhold's doing great.
Judge Wapner dead in 2017 at age 97.
You were thinking of a different celebrity judge.
Did they do an autopsy?
I'm just saying, there could have been foul play. He 97 he was posing as i know i just think judge
wapner probably put a lot of people away you know i see you think that was a show where you
prosecute criminal like murdering criminals on it i think he had some small claims court enemies
you know well that's true people stay mad so somebody who he forced to pay
550 dollars uh tracked him down yeah had him murdered uh um uh yeah let me also let me say
the thing that started all this captain ito i of the things in here i'm i genuinely like the lion
king spelled that way and i like captain ito and he is the the o and the in ito oh yeah it's his rotund
body which was he large maybe i just think he was because he was in a captain ito that's replaced
judge ito in my brain now it's captain ito no i don't think so i think he was a moderately sized
man um i'm trying to think what captain ito would have done what is his journey of
transformation maybe he took all of the hate and discord within los angeles around that time the
potential riot uh about to bubble over and uh turned the city into a peaceful dance party and made everybody dressed in white and made
everyone's vehicles white and uh magic and glimmering and full of rainbows yeah he would
have just mad like put his hand in the air and uh an angry man would turn into a like a wild
buffant haired uh crazy backup dancer that would have Who bursts out of the wall.
That's Alan Dershowitz.
Alan Dershowitz.
Oh, Alan Dershowitz.
There's not a lot of Dershowitz in here, right?
No, I kind of missed him.
And the other guys.
Barry Sheck.
Barry Sheck not represented.
That's another one.
Sheck Tours. Sheck Mountain. There we go. Sheck Mountain.. That's another one. Sheck Tours.
Sheck Mountain.
There we go.
Sheck Mountain.
Sheck Mountain is good.
Will be it.
Dershowitz is the...
Oh, sorry.
Sheck Mountain is the...
You are going through the wild strands of a DNA sample.
Because that's like the track of a roller coaster.
You're going through a big helix.
Oh, yeah.
That's great. Sorry. I just had it. I had to jump on it uh you were saying about dershowitz oh dershowitz is sort of like you know if there's a soren type ride where he's welcoming you aboard
the epstein but you're like oh there's no wait for that and every even the cast members are like
don't don't go no no don't don on that. But it's full of famous people
that haven't faced repercussions for it.
But there's all these animatronics
of very famous people.
Yeah, you don't want to, just don't.
In the fan art, Leno was whispering into my ear
and telling me about, hey, there's this plane.
Don't go near that plane.
I know there's a lot of famous people.
Scott, also, check in your favor.
There is a Vanity Fair article
from two years ago.
Mark Furman slams
the people versus OJ Simpson
for political correctness.
Oh, wow.
So...
The man.
Old Furman and 10-year-old Scott.
Same page.
Yeah.
Wonderful.
I think that this...
I will say that this,
again, for a 10-year-old, very impressive. Thanks so much. I will say that this uh again for a 10 year old very impressive
um i will say it's not as it or excuse me it is much better than the of course second gate
oj's vegas robbery adventure it's much better than that that one was much less exciting it
was cheap they didn't have enough money just they didn't have uh you know the vision or the money nobody wanted photos with the the nine would-be thugs yes tried to help him
bring they had to put a lot more money into the vegas robbery adventure years later plus all those
attractions that like quickly opened and then quickly closed you know the if i did it experience
the um celebrity boxing the prank show juiced like you know these are all
they converted juiced to 3d you could watch it in 3d at the second gate oh okay that's true it's
the whole maybe this is the second gate is like all it's the entire last chapter it's everything
post trial and any store where you go in and try to get merch and oj animatronic bursts out and says hey that's
my stuff oh man man we're doing we're continuing the thing you started at 10 years old on a podcast
we we're 20 yeah 23 years later yeah who knew this was just the first chapter and who would
have known that i would have had two friends eventually
that would have been the biggest shock 20 plus years to find it um hey you know to bring this
out and have you guys not just tear it apart and to uh to find some fun in it uh it's i
appreciate it genuinely i'm gonna give it an a whoa i wrote an a on it jason
would you like to grade scott's oh boy on your own of course use my after earth fingers crossed
i'm nervous that is also a detail that seems like something i would have like a promotional
after earth pen stolen from a restaurant i think i was i with you when i got it uh uh scott your your wife when we
were at pirates dinner adventure she realized or we were like either leaving or something one of
she still had the pen for uh what is it called what is the sexy cabaret show called down there
yeah and she like very quietly leaned over to me and was like you want this and i was like okay
and it was you you're acting like yes i i do want that i'm sure it was an emphatic yes uh what's
your thought there was it just like was she just like it seems like jason would appreciate a free
i think so also it starts working immediately. It felt very dirty.
I'm going to write A, first off, A plus.
Oh, my God, Jason. And I'm going to put very funny and underline that.
Because sometimes I, you know, depending on the teacher, you probably knew them better.
I found extremely creative, either very sincere or very condescending.
Yeah.
Hey, you know what?
This was a very good teacher,
Mrs. Moldovan.
Great.
That's very nice.
And you might actually say
that the encouragement
that I felt from this project
made me think that
maybe I could move forward
in a creative fashion.
Well, that's good.
Honestly, this was
an important piece.
I think the next step,
you guys having seen it,
is for me to send it to the Conan office
and to have them revoke my former employment there
and have all of my sketches deleted permanently
from the server.
Yeah, they were talking about getting a full archive
of all the Conan shows up online,
but your stuff might just be wiped after this.
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah if
this if this comes out they'll realize what a grave mistake they made and uh so folks rip uh
wes anderson star wars now oh hey thanks for naming one look at that that's a that was a mashup of
two properties much like oj land yeah i did a couple theme park sketches too there was a fan
correction people would send in um you know ways to the mistakes that conan had made and he had
he had said seven flags instead of uh six flags which was a very odd mistake but it gave me
license to run around the the backlog where that um the gilmore girls set was the famous gilmore girls gazebo and i got
to turn it into a little miniature uh conan uh amusement park it was like a conan endorsed i was
still using the logic there where it's seven flags but conan was the property they licensed
all law bugs but if you if you look at all my theme park related comedy all of the logic i made i wasted a lot of time adding that up time that could have been used
to make the thing uh funnier the licensing had to be clean so people would get it
uh yeah well hey and that's my uh promise for all future theme park related comedy of which there is much more to come although not
today because we're not talking about a theme park not today but it's a theme park of the the mind
and body and spirit yeah and it employs tricks there's similar tricks identical tricks in fact
yeah it it honestly we were going to record something else tonight which we will
likely do that thing we had planned in the future but we all walked out of this going like this is
can we tomorrow yeah let's just do this tomorrow we all knew us all watching the the movie together
uh for the second time in a row yes um in a row of people from other podcasts who are all segregated
by their podcast we had to sit with our podcast you got to show team unity uh uh and we you know
that's how the magic happens you see a movie and you know what this could be an episode i think i
think this is an episode this is an episode uh i think this is thin enough to spin an episode out of uh we're talking just to clarify
about mission impossible fallout 4dx the 4dx experience now we saw this film opening night
you bought a bunch of tickets uh and uh for the imax experience at city CityWalk, a place where we're going to be
spending a lot of time in very soon.
Very soon you're going to be hearing a lot about that place.
Start learning.
Bone up on CityWalk now if you want
to know what the hell we're talking about.
So,
on a Thursday night we had already
seen this film in an
elevated setting and I think
really enjoyed it in that
it's great and people were going to see it how many four days later yeah monday so yeah that's
four days and i max you know if you're not in los angeles in downtown la there is a place called la
live which is the one of the fakier malls ever to spring up yeah la live is right by the staples center it's like i don't know what
the boundaries of la live are but there it's mostly like this like couple block like swath
of land that has you know like a uh yard house it has a carl's urban it has like a smash burger
it's like formerly an espn zone One of the other ESPN zones around.
There's a bowling alley.
There's a Ritz Carlton right next to it.
Yeah, a couple hotels around in the area.
It's like...
Near the Staples Center, near the Microsoft Theater and Club Nokia.
Right.
Maybe it's not called that anymore.
I've seen a lot of fun concerts there.
This is the first time I've really spent any time down there.
Oh, is that right?
Really? Yeah. I really haven't gotten down there missing out yeah well i go down for wrestling events to staple center and then you go to yard house afterward and you hope you see
randy orton eating a steak uh did you see that of course great and then a friend of ours tim chang
yelled at him out the window when we were driving away uh-huh and tim didn't have like a very good
thing he just was like, Randy Orton.
It wasn't like a funny quip or anything,
but well,
I,
Hey,
relevant to a Disney interests.
A couple of weeks ago,
my wife and I got a little too drunk at a Peebo Bryson concert.
Uh,
he,
did he do one of the,
I don't know if he did one of the Disney songs.
I want to say that he didn't.
Um, so sorry to tell you, I don't know if he did one of the Disney songs. I want to say that he didn't.
So, sorry to tell you,
Beauty and the Beast is out of the set.
Get that fixed, Pete.
Should I look at the set list?
I guess if you can.
Refresh my memory.
Excellent, If Ever You're In My Arms Again.
Yeah, yeah. If ever you're in my arms again.
What are the Disney songs that he oh i'm sorry people bryson was the adult contemporary r&b type artist who was the male part of the duets of beauty
and the beast and a whole new world oh wow yes beating the beast celine Dion, and Aladdin. Whole New World was Regina Bell.
Huh.
Yeah.
Which are things that I didn't like as a kid.
I remember thinking, play the one from the movie.
Don't play this lame grown-up version.
Oh, the singles version.
Yeah.
Yes.
Okay.
They topped the adult contemporary charts.
And in the Oscars, they all performed together,
like Angela Lansbury performed
with celine and peabo and it's a very moving moment i feel like in elementary school like
they as soon as those movies hit the music teachers bought the sheet music immediately
and then like taught us to sing it and i feel like they were teaching the arrangements
of the adult contemporary versions not the movie one and i feel like they were teaching the arrangements of the adult contemporary
versions not the movie one and i would just be like why don't we sound like the movie i want to
do the voice of cogsworth movie yeah it's just full of kind of like chimes and uh uh i i cannot
find uh for whatever reason people bryson does not have like recent set lists on setlist.fm.
Okay.
Nobody's, that's on me to do.
Yeah, you have to update it.
But I have a December 7th set list.
And it's 22.
He ends with Joy to the World.
This was maybe a holiday.
Oh, no, this is holiday.
These are all holiday songs.
Not a good sample this is if you wanted to hear
anything about mission impossible you never you've never heard about oj for 35 minutes you've heard
about randy orton and uh three favorite people are through their dream guests randy pebo and oj
yep uh so yeah look there's a magical place down in la live so much entertainment
it's not as fun as city walk or downtown disney but it's similar just that's what you know it's
similar to that a lot of lights a lot of stimulation family friendly ish and a very nice
movie theater which and i'm not sure when but in the last couple years they have uh started this innovation uh of though well the place being
innovation center regal la live barco innovation center is the name of the the theater yeah theater
is called barco innovation center right which i again it's so elementally i hope nobody really
wants to hear anything juicy about mission impossible if you do
see the movie which is uh jaw-dropping stunts rather than three guys blathering on yeah but
barcode innovation center does sound like oh is that one of the names in the big short was that
one of the shell companies like margin call or something it's very possible that it is green ovation uh
it's like well the the i went to the barco website to try to get more information and it will not
negate your opinion jason because the where's here's about about barco imagine a way to see sense and share the intangible
it's what happens when big data becomes knowledge when images become insight and when experiences
come to life that's what barco is all about barco it is what what do you mean so if you're somewhere
and you see images become insight that was barco
that sounds a lot like the cambridge analytica website
this is i mean these sound like companies that would be like fronts that the imf force would be
when we were in the movie barco was using these special chairs to scan all of our phones, get all
of our contacts, places we've been, interests.
Get our faces for the masks.
Mr. Hunt, you will never defeat Barco.
Barco is on your trail.
That sounds like Gollum, but that is sort of what that guy's voice is like, right?
Yeah, he gets pretty the villain.
Lane, right?
Not Lark?
They've gotten really good at finding sleazy villains.
You will find, as we discuss this film, that I remember no characters' names in the film.
And once again, I think that's okay because we're mainly talking about the chairs.
It is, but just for the fun of it, let's see how many you can name.
What's the main character's name?
Who does Tom Cruise play?
Ethan Hunt.
Yes. Who does Ving Rhames play? name what's the main character's name what's who does tom cruise play ethan hunt yes who does uh
ving rames play uh old jamie no it's not for you jason i know you know yeah
uh simon you should correct me luther stickle simon peg yo you said it a little bit of benji
yes he plays benji. Rebecca Ferguson.
Oh, it's Ilsa?
That's right.
Ilsa Faust.
Yeah, there you go. Oh, you have the last name too.
I got no last names.
How about the...
I know the name of the theater.
It's the Barco Innovation Center,
but Ilsa Faust?
How about Cavill?
Henry Cavill's character.
Didn't catch it?
I'm trying to remember.
Do we even know his name?
Wasn't he...
He's a plumber. He's a plumber. He's a plumber. He's a plumber. He's? Wasn't he He's a He's a plumber
He's a plumber
He's a CIA
He's Lee Plumber
The bad guy's name is
What's his first name?
I was going to say
Jack LaLanne
But that's not right
It's Lane
His name isn't Lane?
I don't know
He talks like this though
Yeah
Alright well
I know the name
Of the band
That did the theme song in part two that's limp
biscuit motherfucker yeah sure i started watching part two the other night and it is an amazing time
capsule of the year 2000 like scott's oj thing oj yes very similar um so so yeah so so the movie
i had never done 40x you. None of us, right?
I had gone to see Valerian and the Keeper of the 19 Clouds.
That's the correct subtitle, right? Okay.
And I was having fun.
I was enjoying it, but I was particularly tired that day.
Had something to do in the morning.
And I was like, I think I got it.
I think I got my fill.
And I left 40 minutes in.
It was not meant to be a big protest.
I since have finished the film Valerian and the 19 Astro Dungeons. 19 uh astro dungeons but um but uh so i had i had experienced it and that was enough to know
some of not only what the chairs do but what the room does and i was impressed and i've been
thinking about 40x ever since and i'm glad that i did a full uh experience yeah i i was gonna say
i was a little i don't know if they do this i had the okay so so before the movie
starts they do a little demonstration of the room yes which scared the shit out of me because i
actually didn't know how invasive 4dx was i knew it would jostle you around but i was like either
so you get i mean you get like a full themed entertainment experience you get a pre-show
yes you get a pre-show uh you are in it's a minute
long it's a minute long but it fires off like all of the different like yes triggers which is almost
a cool thing about that that it's like all 20 of the stuff yeah the strobe lights the stink the
spray the gas spray the gas so that was the most shocking thing to me so like it jostles you the
seats jostle you around a lot you get hit in the back by like different rollers or different like
little fists i don't know what they are yeah you get there's air guns but in the front of the
theater and in the front of each seat they can spray like fog at you or like gas like it reminded
me of like a batman villains layer like a batman villain trapping batman in the 60s show
where like gas comes out and like everyone just passes out so like there would be the start of a
batman 66 and it's like we're in a normal movie theater in gotham and then everyone passes out
and it's like it's the riddler and he's capturing all these movie patrons this is what in this case it would be the barkler the evil head of barco
john barco by day the barkler by night will batman defeat the barkler find out
will the gas spray keep our heroes knocked out for 24 hours so they can't record an episode i
found the gas spray uh woke me right up because it was
startling for one thing for the other thing and i don't know if i talked about this before
i have a very sensitive sense of smell like if something does not agree with me i i cannot stop
thinking about it and the spray the water spray i think there was one or two moments where it did
a fragrance in it but the rest of the time it just smelled like old water or like a basement
when when the when all the effects started in that little pre-show i think and this is maybe
not a quote but it is certainly um the sentiment that you were giving off is all of a sudden the
chairs start going crazy and the gas starts coming out and you just go oh
my god like yeah you were just like freaked out a little bit warn you well they don't warn you
warn you there's also strobes in the theater strobes shooting at the ceiling so like for like
kind of as as lightning usually is what it's representing which then during mission impossible
during the the crazy halo jump you where it is a
it's a stormy sky you do get light that is fun yeah um i like that how do we how do we tackle
this in an orderly fashion 40 well the 40 x chair yes yeah we hadn't talked about the d box company
okay so this is the the company it's a canadian company um and they they installed these d boxes
at movie theaters around the world um but this is a different d box is different than 40x
uh i believe d box is like the chair technology is that right but it's not 40x it is not i think
40x is yes so it's a different branding but like dbox is like
the the chair motion and you can get like dbox stuff at home so batman would be in his back
cave and he'd be like dbox is this is 4dx robin they're the same thing it's all part of i feel
i'm googling is 4dx dbox because i'm not totally sure this is i think
it's the d box motion feedback track okay is this what i'm saying i have a list no no podcast i have
a list of feature films that have been like synced but but i'm looking at websites that say dbox versus 4dx whoa is this different i think they're
different jason after my tiki room fuck up this podcast cannot sustain another error like this
we cannot screw up but and also because 4dx maybe there is some similar technology going but 4dx which is certainly what we saw is a korean company i believe
uh um wait i'm on the i'm on the wikipedia doing all my research there's a different
south korea yeah there's similar ideas oh my god i believe what i believe they are competitors
wow um can you find out when dbox began well so i know this the the i think the company dates back
to like the 1992 i think i saw the first movie that was coded and synced for dbox was fast and
furious in 2009 okay okay um and then they have this list only goes up to like 2016, but there was like a ton of movies that have been coded for D-Box.
That's the thing.
I think this is a Blu-ray HD DVD situation.
I think they snuffed them out or something.
Wow.
Or if not entirely, then.
This is like a tissues Kleenex sort of thing.
I was associating, I was calling the whole thing d box i was like calling a kleenex
i would like it if you issued your apology now i'm very sorry okay but i'm very sorry
we've gotten ahead of this i apologize to d bucks if they are not out of business
and i'm falsely claiming that like we claimed that ito's brother was that ito was dead a lot
of mistakes one one more is there some punishment for jason also yeah all coming from jason tonight
so yeah we'll we'll make him go back to the theater and like really press his face up into
the gas spray there has to be a d-box setting that would be torture like would you
could interrogate a terrorist like strapping them in and this like they're like there's the punches
like set punches to highest punch level and like it really pummels you in there or you could
waterboard someone with a drip from the ceiling yeah that's possible and have the lightning going in kind of a strobe fashion so you start to
seizure and the gas of course is like syrin gas or something maybe less toxic because you don't
want to kill them you want to get information from them okay this is very funny so 40x also
launched with the first movie in 2009 uh in south korea journey to the center of the earth okay
kicking it off with a bang so the first something about that film inspired with this this it's not
enough to sit still and go and go on a journey to the center of the earth you got to be shaking
around and jostled and sprayed at we got to really bring
pull you into the center um and they kept going when looking at some of the other earlier films
you got uh the maze runner ice age continental drift um the the crews this is the the 40x
technology premiered in hung with the Croods.
Oh, the Croods.
I thought you were saying the Cruise.
What's the Cruise?
What are you talking about?
The Cruise, I think it's that documentary about Speed Levitch,
the New York City tour guide.
The Cruise is what I call all the Mission Impossible films.
Oh, yeah. I like the idea of that
cruise documentary like you're on a bus in new york city and the seats are jostling around like
experiencing those new york potholes and stuff oh yeah that wouldn't be the worst that would be fun
uh well it's a real uh it's a it's a race through new york with speed leverage yeah um a lot of kids movie i was surprised my mistaken research about dbox uh uh also kind of carries
over to 4dx uh which also has 4dx rise of the guardians despicable me 2
ich continental drift like i i would think this would be very jarring for a child yeah well i think here's how i believe
they play it did you guys come across information about the levels that you can set no 40 x
experience oh could we i i knew that there were levels but are we allowed to set them
um no no no the film that by the way the chairs are programmed by by somebody probably in a very
audio animatronic fashion right so these so somehow which i think is pretty neat and odd
and magical that this chair programming is distributed along with the movie all over the
world to all these different countries yeah um and uh so no you don't get to set it. But apparently it's on a scale of one to nine.
And my guess is that an Ice Age or such has just a little bit of motion, enough to make it fun.
Something akin to your tough to be a bug, your Disney kind of stuff.
But what we experienced, and no wonder you were all no wonder we were all
so jostled and stressed out that was level nine do you think you think or you know i know you do
level nine this is a very spinal tap kind of situation this arbitrary measuring level nine
but it's it's all the way up and one thing i like the social media 40x because
there's something about i mean the company is not headquartered in america and it's just something
there's like odd little words that are wrong or it's just kind of off here and there that make
you think that it's translated but i saw a strange tweet that was just kind of like like remember
level nine do you do you it? Did you miss it?
You have not seen it in some time.
That is because it has not been seen since Fast and Furious,
and now it is back.
And their copy off the website is interesting and odd as well.
Oh, okay.
I'm not sure what level one through nine starts to classify it as 4DX extreme,
but 9 certainly is 4DX extreme.
The most amped up level of intensity in 4DX motion design.
4DX eliminates the boundary between the audience and the film
with motion shares that move in perfect synchronicity with the movie being shown.
Eliminates.
Do you agree with this or not this statement look that
might be a bit hyperbolic as far as uh eliminating the like that's essentially saying you'll forget
you're in the theater you'll be racing in the streets with ethan hunt which is look i i did not
i had a a coke with me in a cup holder i was looking at my phone and it was still like jostling
the coke but like i could
still handle the coke for most of the movie maybe if i had finished it by the point by the end of
the movie when you really get like fucked around with like so maybe that would have been crazy but
no i don't think this is a bit hyperbolic but all theme park um you know materials and advertising
it i gotta juice it up no but no seat belts and stuff so you're you're saying we were at level
nine last year all the way all the way at nine yeah i mean we were certainly they were again
there really wasn't much of like warning level nine is starting or like there's certainly no
seatbelts oh i do the crank up the picture is true no no that's what i want i want a dial taking you to nine yeah they
share a whole pre-video where like there's like some teenagers who are like man this isn't that
this isn't that scary or this isn't that intense and then it's like oh yeah and then there's like
you know a commercial actor not me but a different one uh like cast yourself all right i'm in it uh
and it's it pays very well and uh he's like got a
dial and he like turns the giant dial up and then like the teenagers like their hair like shoots up
like they were electrocuted and then like it jostles them for a while but then maybe like
the commercial would like merge them into so like they're driving along the road with ethan
and they're like it's like whatever that marketing slogan was. That would be a good warning to really like,
you would feel what two is like,
and then you would feel what nine is like.
You could see and you could be prepared for,
like so Jason wouldn't have had a heart attack
like he did last night.
I would like to see Ferdinand,
a 20th Century Fox animated movie about a bull.
I would like to see that at nine.
Is that a 40X option? was a 2018 it was one of the
2018 movies nine though gotta be one i wonder if there's so every mission impossible screening is
nine they don't have like a kids matinee that's two or three i don't think so i think you're i
think they're one their one sync pass and there's no age limit so you could put hypothetically you could bring a two-year-old
in there yeah sit them down in a chair i mean i think probably somebody at the ticket counter
would say but maybe not maybe you bought your tickets online i think maybe you got an age uh
oh okay you have to be at least uh three and a half feet tall and four years of age interesting to experience 40x
and that's any level but you can plop a four-year-old down for uh an afternoon screening
of dunkirk in 40x as soon on their fourth birthday yes you can go straight to it mother mother i want
to see dunkirk i want to see those brave boys mother if you were a little boy now that is verbatim what you would
have been saying to your mom probably done the school project done possible odds mother
you know i think that there are these age limits and everything you know recently you've seen our
president donald trump talk again about how with all the violence and everything going on probably
it's because of the movies and if we we how we need a movie rating system and i couldn't agree more i think you know
morality is just out the window in this country and i think it's because i think people are getting
ideas from the odd vibrations happening in their seats in these 40x movies and we you know i think
it's distinctly possible that you could be
i mean certainly that feeling the bullets on the back of your neck could make you thirst for you
know trying out some gunfire yourself i think like maybe some of those rumbles could you know
do a little rumble on your junk and uh you know kind of arouse you a little bit. So we need 40x rating levels.
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah, Jason, go ahead.
Unrealistic Hollywood expectations.
I mean, you're going to see the final Maze Runner.
You think you're getting a death cure.
You think you're going to come out of this movie like,
oh, I got a death cure.
I don't need to worry about mortal morality.
You know, I'm going to be immortal.
I'm going to live forever.
I have the death cure. i got it from the maze because it's broken down the the line between reality and when you eliminate
the gap between the screen and your reality you get all kinds of crazy ideas um i was like the
chair does vibrate like crazy like that's another thing it does like it shakes like it's
big shakes and big movements but there is like a vibration like either like a sharper image chair
or like a dirty hotel's vibrating bed like that's sort of the feeling because all of a sudden and
it would come it would sneak up on me too because all of a sudden like i feel my teeth vibrating or
something where i was like oh okay there were some weird vibrations i think
though the most unnerving thing was the occasional punch like where there were certain punches where
you would get all of the back but then there was one level where it would just hit the shoulder
blades and it was only like every 20 minutes and i found that very startling that was awful i had
to yeah i had to sit up i enjoyed this experience I noticed you doing what I did as a child during Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.
Or like you were up at the front of the seat because you did not want to be touched by these invisible robot hands.
No.
And I would have done the same thing.
I get up when all the insects leave in Tough to Be a Bug.
I don't want that experience.
This, I wouldn't quantify it.
I'll defend myself and say I wouldn't quantify it as being afraid.
It's like you're getting punched in the shoulder.
That's not a good feeling.
I'd hang out with Nick Mundy if I wanted that.
I mean, I sympathize with it because I do have that feeling.
But then I think what happened was when the chair first punched me in the back,
I was thinking, hmm, you know what?
Just lean into it.
Really, let's do this.
So when that happened to me, I was like, I'm in it.
I'm going to get over my – because I did.
I flashed back to Honey, I Shrunk the Audience and even The Bug's Life
and then any other 3D movies that would kind of fuck with your legs or your back or touch you and uh i was
just like i'm in for it i'm in for i was trying to position so this is another thing we haven't
talked about it shoots air blasts there's two holes by your head and it shoots yes air blasts
constantly especially in a movie with guns so i was trying to
like position my head in the perfect way like i wanted to try to get the optimum experience
because i noticed i was leaning sort of in my seat and i got hit right in the back of the head
with a blast of air because i was leaning sort of toward the right and then i was kind of leaning
up and i wasn't getting punched as much so i was like nope i'm gonna sit and put my head right back
in between the two holes
and I'm going to let my back be brutalized
during this whole movie.
My head was, if I was sitting up straight along the back,
my head was getting like bounced around.
Yeah.
All these descriptions make it sound like
we did not like this.
Because the first time those air blasts happened,
I found those very invasive.
I was like, oh, that's like what would happen if you were being like publicly executed like it was a
like these giant i was like ah well like i was really not prepared for that i think that was
one thing i did not like the most after like the first 10-15 minutes i was like there's another
two hours and 40 minutes of this movie like yeah
i would i also like i would think like okay because we knew we suddenly seen the movie before
which honestly it might have been more fun or crazy if we hadn't seen the movie because then
i'd be like oh there's gonna be a lot of guns in this scene and then it was like
so i would know at least that i was about to be shot in the head with a bunch of air we could prep for all the major yeah sequences and get ready for what we knew was was coming
which which you can't do and i think it's what makes that opening demonstration so fun is that
you don't you really don't know what's coming and it's so much uh immediately more intense than what you think it's going to be the chairs really
rise up and also what a visual when you i'm glad we're further back than the one that i did before
so getting to see a whole room of chairs getting jostled around is very crazy and a neat visual
for sure yeah i think we were all looking at each other and just like giggling, because we were like,
this is insane.
Yeah, we were giggling a lot.
Yes, I really, I truly didn't think,
I thought, like,
the Bugs Life movie doesn't do,
the chairs aren't that crazy.
The chairs don't move at all.
And Honey, I Shrunk the Audience,
the chairs don't move like that,
so I was expecting a standard sort of theme park experience,
but this was, yes, much more aggressive.
There's a lot.
There's a lot of stuff and it's not
just action as you guys know there are parts where you're you like tilts along with a camera pan
yeah so you're drifting to the left you kind of have this little drift there's a thing and i was
wondering like i wanted to know i'd love to get the guy who or a girl who programs this because it's not a set like it's not a set sometimes the
thing moves with the vehicle sometimes it moves with the person running sometimes it moves with
the camera sometimes it moves sort of to the music or the score but it's not uniform yes the whole
way around there's a constantly shifting narrative voice of the chair you are not the same pov
for even two seconds in a row and as an anal theme park consistency person like myself i was like
well that's now we're just imitating the camera but we're not there's no action on the screen
i found that however consistent with attractions like the new kung fu panda or um yeah shrek 4d too it's like you're feeling the
the bump as donkeys run along a bridge yeah yeah or uh or now you're in this now you're feeling
what shrek is feeling that i think i think all of these kinds of things jump around it's more shrek 4d than it is uh star tours
where you have a consistent vision and where you are yes i think one you were very quick to remark
like these chairs are like the amped up version of the kung fu panda chairs uh-huh uh-huh um uh
because that had some like there was a lot of floating on water stuff there yeah you had that
in this too there's a few boat sequences or there's one boat sequence uh there's a long
helicopter thing where you're kind of like following the helicopter and and i thought that
was very cool the like drifting yeah without spoiling i mean if you've already seen the film there is a there is a ton of i mean
we could say that this the helicopter scene is like one of the best things you've seen in a
movie theater in the recent past it's wild and the nine was yeah amped up all the way to like
yes nine plus yes i at that point like there's a like i remember when i was young and i went to my first
like concert which is cool it was green day and i was so stressed out because i i was raised uh to
be fearful of everything uh so when i went i was going alone with my friends to the aragon in
chicago to see green day in a mosh pit and i was stressed out about actually now i think about it
that might have been my second concert how old are you foo fighters i don't know too old 15 some 14 i mean i had seen
like the monkeys or something but going alone to what was like a modern you sure you actually
quantify it as a mosh pit green day i would really so foo fighters there was a little moshing going
on this is foo fighters this is uh uh after color and the shape this is learn to fly era but dave growl still a young man he climbed the balcony of the of the riviera but so green day
um so i knew the crowd was like kind of like you know it's sometimes mosh green day even back then
during the warning tour there were still a lot of punks it was before american idiot and they
had refreshed the audience with a bunch of young kids so there were a lot of punks still wanting
to mosh pit and we were up front and i was just so stressed out about the thought of it
happening that i remember feeling like beat up for days even though i hadn't moshed or whatever
so i've tried over the years to like not be stressed out in situations where i feel like
i've lost control uh so so what i'm getting to is that once this started like beating me up i feel like
now as a 34 year old man i i get comfortable in it and then i start to go well can't this thing
go any faster or harder i start going the other way with it i see where now finally i'm like
i don't know i don't really know exactly what i'm saying. You wanted level 19. That's what I'm saying.
I wanted level 19.
So I think it's all just like making up for me being a scared youth.
So once I get jostled around.
This is still the pattern, though, is that you begin experiences with fear.
And once you're in it, you just want more.
Yes.
Which is what like a sitcom scene would tell you about getting on a roller coaster.
That's true.
Or whatever. So, yeah. What a nice lesson. getting on a roller coaster that's true or whatever
so yeah what a nice lesson it was a nice lesson that sitcoms teach um but yeah it was fun i liked
nine i liked that nine level it was insane oh you know what i'm thinking this is the this is the
moral of the film parenthood is is what you have learned that life is like a roller coaster and
you just enjoy it yeah the lesson i need to learn too not about life
okay the uh actual roller coaster yeah part is what i need to learn uh i gotta say i way you
guys think like looking at the list of 4dx movies what do you think the funniest uh example like
movies that have been 4dx oh i gotta i gotta find it uh i got two uh one is grimsby
the the other oh god where did it go uh uh now you see me too now you see me
i would love to see i love the now you see me movies I would love to see them in this
uh frankenweenie less so kind of a weird one yeah there's also some weird like like you were saying
valerian uh there's also some weird bombs independence day resurgence awful I would
have liked if the that 40x chair uh propelled me through the ceiling out of the theater i yeah there's a lot of movies
that were like genre-y action movies with like a lot of subtitles or colons in them like the mortal
instruments colon city of bones or percy jackson colon sea of monsters oh yeah yeah yeah maze run
of the death cure yes yeah yep um it's perfect for and 40x itself adds
a colon to a colon movie they should do have they done old movies that they've like re-put like to
use the technology for like yes that would be a good they have i think i saw um episode one
maybe i was gonna say star wars jurassic park 3d pod race yeah Episode one, maybe. I was going to say, Star Wars. Jurassic Park 3D. Oh, Pod Race.
Oh, Pod Race would be awesome.
Hell yeah.
That's the way to turn the tide back towards the prequels.
That would get everybody convinced.
The Peanuts movie, Crank to Nine.
Or the Angry Birds movie.
Oh, man.
If the chair can make you feel like you're being pulled back and launched
like one of the birds incredible legend of tarzan's a pretty funny one yeah they have these
films that aren't uh and they aren't remembered by anyone and you get to learn from this list
about chinese films that you've missed like the white-haired witch of lunar kingdom uh the way that's the subtitle of valerian isn't it valerian and the
white-haired witch of the lunar kingdom and the four realms and the forum uh yeah i mean so i was
thinking like i was thinking because the camera moves like is there is there a movie that's not
an action movie that just has an amazing cinematography that all it is is just we're experiencing the camera moves like koi and a squatty sure touch of evil yes
or the player of children of men is a nice long tracking shot that's very yeah so like not action
never use the chairs for the action just use it to experience with like Chiva,
the DP of Children of Ben or Gravity,
how he places the camera and moves it along with the shot.
Yeah.
Another Orson Welles project, one of my favorites,
The Third Man.
You could be in the Ferris wheel with Joseph Cotton and Orson Welles.
I think this is great.
Well, 40X for film buffs is clearly a very i need to innovate that's
that would be lucrative yeah doing all of the barry lyndon yes in 40x
uh i gotta say though i i think one of the weaker parts of it is the glass, the 3D glasses. I thought there was some decent depth in this one of the 3D,
and there's a lot of very brightly lit sequences in Fallout,
but there's a lot of stuff in catacombs or tunnels or garages,
and it does look a lot darker.
Here's what they should do,
because the best 3D, as far as movie-wise,
is the CityWalk IMAX. Okay. If you're seeing a 3d movie which is still not like the optimum way there's no they
haven't perfected yet but some some of the movies we've seen are pretty good like guardians of the
galaxy 2 i thought for whatever reason looked great in 3d yeah a lot of bright colors a lot
of fluorescent colors maybe that helps so i think that screen is very bright and it's very big yeah dr strange looked good too yes a lot of the a lot of that uh marvel has a lot of cgi goop
in all these movies and that plays well in 3d on a giant screen but it's it's very well lit and it
would be nice if you could get that screen but with 4dx technology if they could combine imax
and 4dx that might be the optimum movie going experience
there must be places where that is the case this was kind of a smaller theater maybe but i bet
where i bet it would where this is taking wing a little more like in in uh thailand or uh or
vietnam or south korea or whatever i'm sure there's, like, oh, I even saw on the website, there are
sizes of the
theaters. So you could
do premium, level
nine, extreme. They have it
all the way up to the top.
That's what I want. How long?
I've never turned it off, and we're
at 1.33, and how long were we doing
tickets? 15 minutes?
Yeah. So we're an hour and 15 okay um uh i'll jump
back in here yeah um so i'm gonna make a bold statement about this oh okay i have to say uh
i think this is if not one of the if not the best one of the best like screen attractions i have ever experienced
now that is tempered by the fact that i saw a full movie but honestly if you went to universal
there was an original like movie with like the cast of whatever like let's say they did a mission
impossible like an original five minute thing with the seats
cranked to eight or nine and you're whipping around and all of this stuff this was so much
more satisfying than like the fast and furious ride or whatever yeah the that part of the studio
tour or the the king kong studio tour part that is the solo, you know, its own attraction in Orlando.
Like I honestly kind of,
I don't want to see everything like this,
but this is like a next level to me.
Yeah.
I think maybe,
I feel like I've heard that the Fast and Furious also released in level nine
was,
was really well done.
I didn't see that.
This Mission Impossible was fantastic.
We saw with people who were complaining a little about Ready Player One. I didn't see that this mission impossible was fantastic we saw with
people who were complaining a little about ready player one i didn't love valerian this way but i
think a a great movie that's perfectly equipped for this with a lot of car chases or motorcycle
chases or helicopter chases or whatever it is i think i think the right combo i was surprised
how much i loved it and how much it's teetering on that fun theme park
line where it's a little stupid and you're maybe looking for, is this stupid?
Do I not like it?
No, I think this is stupid in the way I like.
I think this is a lot of fun.
I totally agree.
I feel like we've been slamming or complaining because those moments are more fun to talk
about than really.
I mean, that helicopter sequence was
like they i'm not kidding that was like better than any like new theme park thing i've done in
a little while yeah the the by the time we got to the helicopter because like there were certain
points when i went uh this is okay i like this but for sure i think we crossed paths and going
to the bathroom and i was like this this is so, I didn't,
I did.
I,
what did I say?
Stupid.
I said something along those lines or hilarious.
I said,
this is hilarious.
That's the word more than stupid.
It's just funny.
We were laughing.
It's so funny.
Yeah.
Like getting sprayed in the head and like shot with air.
And like,
I kept saying theater out loud.
Oh my God.
Like you keep,
you show laughing so much.
Yeah.
Everyone was too.
Like everyone was was there was a
couple next to mike and i uh that's the other thing you're paired off in seats and on the
website they refer to it as love seats yeah like tiny couches the couple next to us i feel like
we're also like having a blast yeah we're also startled when like stuff yeah and they had not
seen the movie they had not seen the movie every joke hit with them and they loved it um yeah yeah i do you think seeing mission possible
fallout the first time would work i think for sure would work but i feel like i would have
wasn't like oh now let's go see it so i can look at it a little more yeah and not get yeah beaten
up while it was happening i was glad because i i mean i think this easily
my favorite movie this summer yeah oh yeah yeah for sure that is in a while it's like hitting me
in a dark night kind of fashion probably because they have a similar vibe with that some scenes are
imax and it's all very real and he's on the top of very tall places and uh and i don't i haven't the um
that i didn't like love the the last mission impossible as much i like this it did i don't
know it feels this this franchise feels like the dark knight series and that like you know
some are like pretty good and then others are like masterpieces yeah i mean i i was just this is how annoying i am yesterday i was
just um probably yelling but i was saying to lindsey i go do you remember seven years ago i
kept talking about how good mission impossible is and how everyone's saying how good mission
impossible she's like yeah it's true you did i remember you were confused when i was like
mission impossible 4 is coming on she was like why do you that's fine. We'll go see that. But why?
And she's like, yeah, you're right.
Everyone now is saying all the Mission Impossibles are great.
So I do think that.
I think it hit like snobs and elitists a little more lately, which I might even include myself in.
You're saying I'm more of a common man.
Who enjoyed working class Midwest.
I think you like passionately love a lot of
pop entertainment and with comic that's true worlds you're like ahead of things that other
that everybody else starts to love thank you i think so wrestling too i think like that's true
too the wrestling you've been going to is like uh having like i feel like is building in cool cred and yes uh you were out of the game
uh i'll say this i was a fan of jason too 10 years ago and now everyone is yeah you beat me too yeah
it's an early adopter of me and now i am like a mummy's curse that you cannot shake nope i tried uh hey you set me up for the joke all right um
uh uh yeah what was that oh i i think like looking back on the mission of boswell's i
i thought like number four i feel like they were that one had the added bonus of oh brad
bird is directing this and that has a lot of crazy stunt pieces in it i think but there was
also like the vibe of the movie they're like well
they're setting up renner to take it over they're setting up renner and then they're like we're
gonna make another one with tom cruise and and that one i was like well how are they gonna top
the last one and then rogue nation was also very satisfying and then this this is just like next
level i think again i don't want to spoil anything but there this picks up a lot of
characters and then some threads from the other movies and it nails it so much better than specter
did because specter tried to do that too and did not stick the landing that's fair uh i mean it's
the best spy franchise it's certainly been more consistent than james bond and and more than born
and i like both of those franchises too
i'll say this i also felt like wow just building up like the characters and the motivations and
this i thought this was a better payoff than avengers infinity war and maybe it's because
they weren't selling it like that that's a different i can't know i wanted movies on this
podcast right now because i we could have an argument about avengers infinity war but jay let's jason your biggest problem with avengers
infinity war is that it made you too sad it's upsetting you were too sad by it and you don't
like to feel sad viewer of a film who can that can that's a valid opinion if that's how it made
you feel but i'm just saying you know what didn't if you don't think that being sad this should be part of that experience if i wanted to be sad i'd watch that
god-awful looking aquaman we saw a trailer for hell yeah yeah my man that's from justice league
though uh i just a couple quick things i had written down there's a couple on occasion
something would happen that was different like like we down there's a couple on occasion something would happen that
was different like like we're talking about effects and a kind of occasion like and this
is a spoiler but something would happen where just let's just say a character got a jolt a sudden
jolt and all of a sudden i get like a like on one side of my back i get just like a like a prolonged
like punch essentially and like it lingers there
for a while like whoa and there's a section where somebody uh somebody gets hit by something
and like it feels like the corpse the body not corpse uh rolls over my back essentially yes like
there's a couple like interesting that was very unnerving that was unnerving and i liked it but
then for the rest of the movie i was also going like what other tricks do you have for dx so then like there's
a scene where somebody's getting choked and i was like kind of like i hope no i hope nothing like
pops out around my neck during this like because it would like surprise me on occasion with
something so then i was thinking like maybe it's got one more like leg shackles or something like oh they did
the snakes they did the snakes like honey i shrunk the audience they did like they got your legs at
one point you may have stepped out there were effects at your legs for what that was that was
the thing i was most scared at it with honey i shrunk the audience yes i know they did it i forget
what oh wow it was i left left during the talkie part.
Yeah, you guys both stepped out.
Oh, my gosh.
I literally missed the one thing that maybe would have brought back a horrible memory
of me being at Epcot Center when I was six and going,
I don't like the mice around my feet.
Thank God there's no PlayStation 1 looking lion popping out of the screen.
Yeah, right.
Wow, that's crazy. There's no snakes in the scene where um the professor releases all the mice into the theater in the mission impossible
oh yeah benji releases all the mice ethan hunt is at the spy of the year awards save old ethan
oh the flubber got loose um i well you're you're also there was there's specifically that somebody
gets stabbed and then you that's what i was that's what i was saying earlier i was trying
which made me say out loud why uh-huh they we get stabbed yeah i was thinking so yeah i was
trying to figure out like what what else is going to come up that and nothing really
did but i was like there's got to be something they're hidden like another surprise they have
well he of course tom cruise does a stunt he jumped from building to building and he broke
his ankle doing it and i was a little worried that a sledgehammer would pop out of the chair
inspector gadget style smash my ankle into pieces when he did that jump in when we saw
the first time i feel like people went huh and this time i think everyone went huh but also
because you you feel it yeah you got jostled so hard yeah i feel like as much of a daredevil as
tom because i got i was in a chair that tilted when he did the jump i was in a chair that shifted
forward and wind was blowing at me when he did the jump from the plane i feel covered in terms of uh
skydiving parkour say okay here this is a hypothetical though and i was thinking about
this and this is only tangentially related but but we're talking about, like say you were now cast in Mission Impossible 7
and you're on the IMF team
and you have to do,
like would you ever be able to do
any of the things this 56-year-old man is doing?
I would get thrown through a plate glass window.
But would you seriously want that?
I'm saying like...
If I could have the proper training and safety people and all that stuff.
And let's remember the training for most stuntmen is.
You do it.
You just do it.
There's not a lot.
You go through the glass.
I think because adrenaline kicks in when you're performing anyways.
And just knowing I'm going to get to go through i'm gonna be
able to tell people i went through a wind i think that's a double shot of adrenaline i just want i'm
just wanting to clarify with you specifically because when that thing started i was worried
about your health during that in the chair i mean i there was a lot of shock but there was delight
there too it's just hard to convey delight and oh my god i think i can do
the running i think i could do like a very small building to building jump really if i have the
wire on which he did which he did mike does this thing where i don't know very low cement walls
and there's a gap yeah yeah i'll go like i think i can make this jump and
every time lindsey says please don't i do that in indiana jones when we're leaving the exit there's
like a set of six stairs like you think i can go get up all these stairs in one jump and she's like
do not do that and then i will and then i'll be like i can still jump pretty good this is the most
like kid and mom discussion that could happen.
I mean, I'd be willing to try a number of things, but I think I'd be terrible at it. And most of my workout stuff is low impact and yoga ish because of like I get very red in the face.
I have kind of a it's it's not as bad as it used to be when i was a kid but like running laps in uh middle school or whatever i'd get just flush red which is very uncomfortable and i know
that's what would happen to me there is a i have a vague feeling i've for some reason mentioned
this on the podcast before but there is a video a funnier die video called the prairie children
uh one of the best funnier die videos done by ryan perez our past guest and i also another past guest
dave ferguson uh he and i are like tussling in it like we're like little house on the prairie
kind of like rough and tumble brothers and we're in like a dry patch and we're like we're like
wrassling and this shot went on for approximately 25 seconds. And I was beet red, sweaty, out of breath by the end of it.
And if you look up this video and you see what caused, what made me be like at death's door.
It makes me think I couldn't do the bathroom stunt scene.
I couldn't burst the the bathroom stunt scene i couldn't uh burst through a mirror well i was
saying when you were saying that i was like if you had to do the helicopter with like tom so like
it's you so imagine this the helicopter scene but it's like tom on one of the legs and you on the
other your face would be like so bright red like they'd have to digitally take the red out of it
and post yeah it'd be like yes absolutely it'd be pretty clean they could
just select one color as uniform as a green screen just be bright the brightest pink uh possible on
a man's face and that had been nice uh precedent when uh justice league had to cgi henry cavill's
mustache was it for this for this this mustache so maybe why did he have to have a mustache for this that's
what people bring up like that i have a theory because he's a because he's a prick in the movie
and i think he looks kind of like a prick like they may actively make him look like a dick my
theory is that uh tom wanted to make sure he looked different than him and now that they look
so similar but like they're both handsome guys.
So I feel like Tom was like,
he's got to have a mustache.
Cause then people will differentiate.
I think,
okay.
So mission impossible seven,
we usually pitch rides,
but let's pitch an idea.
Ethan Hunt has three sons that he just found out about.
And he has to take the three sons that he's separated from the IMF.
He has to take his three sons on vacation,
but the vacation turns into a whole mission,
and maybe he takes them on vacation to a theme park of some kind.
Maybe we have to rescue the IMF team,
sort of like a new X-Men, old X-Men sort of thing.
Okay, that's fine.
That would be good.
They're being held captive.
Because they went to see a movie at the barco innovation center and they were gas and the barkler released his his
his gas that you thought was just a gas simulation but it's real gas uh-huh i mean the apostles are
still out there and god knows what sort of twisted plans they have for Hunt and the IMF team.
And then we go to, then we have to do the Halo jump to get into Epcot Center Undetected.
And then Jason has to do the Halo jump, but it's the Halo Top ice cream that he got.
I've never had that.
Is it good?
It's okay.
I mean, some people have a problem with like kind of diet stuff because it tastes a little
off, but I always think as long as it tastes 80% like the other thing, it's pretty good.
And obviously low calorie.
And we get captured by Lane Jr.
Yes.
And another son.
And he's going to execute us all.
But then he hears that fun conversation about ice cream.
And he's like, these guys are all right.
And we all share ice cream together. That's a good finish. I was going to say like he also fun conversation about ice cream. And he's like, these guys are all right. And we all share ice cream together.
That's a good finish.
I was going to say, like, he also.
We eat ice cream for 70 to pad out the rest of the runtime.
70 straight minutes.
I was going to say, he tortures each of us with our worst fear.
And, of course, he puts you on a log flume ride with a big drop.
Or a 50-foot drop.
Yeah.
No, no. a mid-tier he puts he uh he puts
me in a mosh pit with teens with rowdy teens but and he would also he would take for me he would
take a a giant animatronic that doesn't belong in an enclosed space what's the biggest animatronic?
Maybe that's why in Jurassic Park you're in an enclosed.
How big was the old Kong?
Well, but I saw Kong every day.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I loved seeing him.
Yeah.
Yeah, did my soul well every time I smelled that banana breath.
Really a precursor to 40X technology, the kong banana bread much respect um jason what don't you want
to encounter when you've been recruited on the imf team uh an empty cupboard
punches everyone to open jason i've i've emptied your cupboard of treats.
God, fuck.
That joke threw me off because I was trying to think of
a joke about emotional openness
with no irony attached or something.
But I fucking, I'm all my game now.
You'll watch me eat the treats
that could have been yours.
Oh, but there's lots you can share.
I'm little.
I don't need that much.
Your mission, should you choose
to watch no he wouldn't that was just him being a jerk oh yes that's fun that's a fun thing
actually that but they were right on the line using that gag i feel like a couple characters
said oh a lot of characters say your mission should you choose to accept the movie also they
started shooting with 33 pages of a script.
And I feel like you could tell with some of the dialogue that it wasn't.
Oh, it worked for me?
I didn't say it didn't work.
I'm just saying some of the lines felt like, well, this is a good first draft for this line.
This conveys the emotion or the plot necessity.
I found Alec Baldwin and tom cruise on the runway very moving
i was shocked moving yeah oh um i i'm trying to think of a here i don't know if you said your
worst fear i said a mosh pit when i was 60 but yeah that's not i've gotten over that i love that
now for you help me out with the end of this but i think we haven't talked about the the masks
being deployed as possible against you
and what if you when you got dropped into epcot center and you met your your best gal mini and
pure per usual she's hugging you grabbing at you pawing at you and then she takes off the mask and
is something else as another big character oh uh like a bad one the alien from alien encounter
sure it was minis actually the alien i don't know what's a similar size yeah if it's ursula
or i like ursula i wouldn't mind a hug from her you wouldn't mind being pawed at i wouldn't mind
having all tentacles i would kick her out of bed what What if the Eric Idle journey into your imagination
took off the mask and it had been Dream Finder this whole time?
Well, that's a good thing.
No, but then we're all just like,
what have you been doing for 20 years?
That was confusing.
Why were you lying?
What?
But then he walks away.
He does like the walk away from Cameron.
The Mission Impossible theme comes on and you're like,
what?
What is happening? Why? you just describe the confusing thing maybe not a terrifying thing guys
what we're doing right now is mashing up a franchise with theme park lore which once again
if you told me that's what i'd be doing with a couple other weirdos if you told 10 year old me that
feverishly working on oj land that the fan fiction would never continue or never would
never cease rather and that uh people would be listening to it for some reason although in this
case maybe they bailed they might have been out of this they might have bailed 10 minutes ago when
we said what if we were on the imf team? That was self-indulgent.
What if it was us as the stars?
Although we do that a lot.
We try to inject ourselves into most things on this podcast.
It's a pretty, I mean, what podcast is not about the host's podcast?
Maybe there are some and maybe they're better.
But this one is lazier and that's yep that's the way it is that's true i'm gonna bet there's some religious podcasts that are primarily about
numero uno mr jc someone takes a back seat i feel like you're doing a christianity podcast
you're like well sure i'm always gonna be number two on the patreon to jesus christ but what if jesus
christ took a mask off and he was lane the whole time that villain is lane i'm lane that is just
like lane uh cursed to be you not blessed why does he sound like a troll or but yeah he sounds
like emperor palpatine or senator like he sounds like Darth Sidious. Oh, he's him too.
Then he takes off the lame mask and he's
another villain. And Gollum he sounds like
a little bit. And then he's
Gollum. He was wearing three masks and the
top one was Jesus Christ.
He was lying. If we were doing
plus it up our scale with the 4DX
what do we think?
As far as would we keep
it exactly as is? Would we plus it up? Or would we uh keep it exactly as is would we plus it up or
would we burn the whole 4dx down for insurance money certainly not that i i was thinking plus
it up i think we'll probably might all have ideas for it i was thinking like put some restraints
and give me a seat belt and like let's drop the floor out like let, yeah. Fuck me up, fam. Yeah. As I was saying, I wanted more earlier.
Really, much like Ethan Hunt does to the Philip Seymour Hoffman character in Mission Impossible 3
and dangles him out of the back of a plane.
I want to be dangling from the movie theater seats.
I guess it's not practical as far as drinks or popcorn are concerned because it would just dump it all over but they have to give you a warning maybe you're not allowed to have it in
there but you get a little like just suddenly there's a quick little intermission like popcorn
time yes and then you're back to it yeah or there's like a little warning logo that's like
secure popcorn now and you have to put it in like a little case yeah and it like
there's like a little robot and then put the popcorn seat belt on it like if you could really
like if they could rotate you 360 in those chairs i would love it i would love more joss more
jostling more jostling rotating's good oh jason's yawning i i i don't need the 3d yeah i don't need the glasses i i i have thick
plastic glasses uh i find them very awkward to wear over my glasses and then also my eyes kind
of hurt at the end or a little achy at the end i agree with that um you know we were saying how fun the the opening the demonstration of the
40x technology is that is a blast and also before the movie you get to see one of the best things
you can see in a movie theater the regal coca-cola refreshing filmmakers contest so i want the 40x
to extend to that i want the refreshing filmmakers to also program a perfect chair experience for me to watch their film that is Coke-centric.
The little story where, like, you know, the guy, like, spills Coke in the projection booth, but then it makes the people on the screen be cheers and a
coke together yeah that would be great i want to i want to experience every tilt and the spill of
coke in my face and the water should be coke at that point too so it'd make it longer the whole
time and i should get to taste it all oh i think we forgot one thing that happened to us when we
were there and this this is before
the movie we were walking down the hallway and we walked through what appeared to be some sort
of media event or interviews or something for death of a nation the newest dinesh d'Souza joint
and if you're not familiar with him he's a right-wing documentarian's a stretch he's a a real
uh uh con man he's a real huckster uh who makes these dog shit documentaries he uh was pardoned
by the president he served some time for illegal campaign contributions because he he was so
fucking dumb he couldn't figure out how to give an excessive amount of money and so we had to do
time for that and then he got pardoned like a president wasted out an hour in the day to pardon
this fucking moron and and this movie is called death of a nation and it's about how like what if
the left uh the real nazis and it's just, it's called Death of a Nation,
but then the poster has a giant picture of Trump
and under it it says Death of a Nation,
so he's too dumb shit to even like put that read.
That reads as an anti-Trump documentary.
My favorite is that the premiere of the movie
appeared to be at a 9 p.m. showing
on like theater three at the Regal cinema in la live on a monday
night in the middle of a city full of people who would uh fucking despise this man if you said like
hey you know who this is we were all we all walked by it and we were like we all made the noise and
like the press interviews happening interviews happening like there's a pr person that was like
a pr person there she's like looking and i was like she knows we know like i would think
well once we got like about six feet away i went did you please just walk through a
fucking dinesh d'Souza movie premiere i'll tell you this uh i would have seen it if it was in 4dx
that yeah hell yeah absolutely you know that's probably the out but really fast i just have to say oh yeah we we
forgot about in that pre thing how the you're in the motorcycle chase and then the audience it cuts
to the audience watching the 4dx motorcycle chase and they're all so into it that they all pretend
to be holding handlebars that's the funniest thing i've seen in a movie theater in years
everyone 20 people all agreed to hold up fake handlebars something that's never happened in
all of time and that was i will say that that like that played well as a joke to everybody
in the theater not just snarky podcaster row that we were in yeah that was a huge laugh of everyone
laughing at these idiots on the screen pretending to be on them but you on the motorcycle room like
that everyone was laughing at that everyone laughed that wasn't just like cynical no doing
and i want the you know what that's my other plus up i want full i want a full refreshing
coke filmmakers thing and i want a full i want the people who made that to make an entire oh yeah movie but it's a movie where half of it is cutting to the the audience
who are all like if the scene's in a truck they're all pulling a truck horn
or if it's like a train if it's a romantic scene they're all grabbing they're all grabbing air and smooching with it or like if they're like
loading coal into a cold coal train whatever you would call that steam train and then shoveling in
oh what a hard life they all say in unison oh yeah that'd be great i want to see more of this
40x space work you guys did improv you could appreciate oh yeah could you feel the
the physics of the motorcycles they were holding on to yeah i mean that's you really got to commit
to it and that's how you get an audience on board i thought the space work was a little broad
but still it was effective and that's your plus up yes uh folks you've survived podcast the ride 40x edition thanks so much for listening
