So you're going to listen to this episode while we record Cannon. I can distract. I'm not very busy when we do those recordings. I've got time. Well, since you're our resident senior movie enthusiast. Oh, sir.

Gus is kind of our senior everything because we get to make fun of the fact that he's the oldest one of us. What? And why don't you start us off? I asked you guys to come with a few, a small list of what you watched this last month that you can talk about to our viewers,

our listeners, our audience, and they can catch up on some good things. Sure, I'm gonna lead us off with a horror film I saw in October. It's actually a film I almost did with the episode review, John. This was my alternate that I didn't end up doing because I like A Tale of Two Sisters more. There was a film that came out or actually it might have come out earlier in the year but I think it finally- But you watched it in October.

I watched it in October because it's starting to get attention in October because it's like a scary movie. I just looked it actually came out. It's a Korean film. It came out in Korea last year but it's just coming out in the United States now. It's called Sleep and the- What's the synopsis of it? The synopsis, Let me pull it up. A young,

expectant wife must figure out how to stop her husband's nightmarish sleepwalking habits before he harms himself or his family. So it's the kind of thing where it's a married couple and then the husband starts sleepwalking and doing scary and or dangerous things. So it's like the horror of your partner like suddenly becoming evil and antagonistic to you and not being aware of it. Right. Having no memory of it at all. I saw a not to sway from this movie discussion too hard, but it's in the same vein. I saw a video on TikTok, of course, where this man was filming his wife because he was trying

to convince her like, hey, you've been like getting out of bed and doing things in your sleep. And she basically was like, no, like, I don't know what you're talking about. You're lying. You're making this up. And so he filmed her one night where she was in the living room ironing all of their baby clothes and like being really rude to him. And then he like showed her the video the next day and she was like this I'm

So uncomfortable like I I this is actually really scary that I was doing that like operating an iron first of all and like not Having any awareness or rec like recollection of this happening I must be really uncomfortable to sleepwalk and not have any memory or awareness of that happening. Yeah, like you see it and it's like it's very clearly you, but you weren't like you weren't mentally there. It wasn't you. So a couple of interesting things about this movie. One of the stars, the husband who's sleepwalking is the actor Lee Soon-kyun who was the rich father in Parasite and the female lead is an actress named Joong Yoo-mi and she's great. I see her in reality tv shows and Korean reality tv shows all the time. I think she's hilarious. She's really great. So it was weird seeing her. I always associate her with

like being quirky and funny and this was a very serious role so it was weird like to see an actual like her acting performance like that. Oh, I don't I only know her from the reality stuff. That's always like super lighthearted and fun. The movie was was good. I think I maybe hyped it up too much for myself. Actually, I know that I think about it. It was playing here in Austin at Fantastic Fest and I saw it on the schedule,

which is why I looked it up and I saw that it was available to stream So I rented it and just watched it at home Streaming and I mean if it's the kind of thing it's not the issue to you. You can do that as well Barb isn't a scary movie person. I know this last month. So How on the spookums level how freaky is this movie? Is it gonna is it going to send Barbara into a flurry? Yeah, like on a scale from like Barbara to 10, where does it fall?

I would say there's probably about six spookums in it. So it's pretty spooky, it's not like the scariest thing ever. I think A Tale of Two Sisters was spookier. This one is just unsettling. It's like, yeah. Yeah, and it's like. I don't love that either though. I was like, there's definitely some scary stuff.

I want to be settled. And there's stuff that happens and that they show in this film. I'm like, I wish I didn't see that. Or I wish they did not explore this thread because I don't like that. And if you're saying that, I feel like you have a higher tolerance than I do. That sounds like me describing, I'm not going to talk about it, but it sounds like me describing Smile 2. Smile 2 was just how can we gross out the audience as much as possible with gore? Like just really visceral wet gore. Wet. Smile 2 is rough. Noted. Noted. Not that I was planning to see that.

No, you didn't even see Smile 1. You listed it as a movie you will never see. Negative. Negative man. But like I mentioned in the Stinky Pop where we did the scary movies for A Tale of Two Sisters, I watch a lot of Korean film. I was trying to watch international film. Things that are not necessarily in English language. And this one, I think, and sometimes when you watch films from other countries, you're like, oh, there's like a cultural difference or I can't quite connect with the message being conveyed here.

This one, I think, is very universal. Very accessible. Yeah. I think even if you know nothing about South Korea, there's nothing specific to that. Well, I mean, there is a little bit. There's some specific cultural things, but you'll get the gist of it. There's like some. No, I don't want to get too much into it, but yeah, there's a little bit.

But it's not like it's very, it's very exciting. You'll understand what's going on. There's not like anything roadblocking you. Out of I've decided just off the cuff out of five stinky's. How good is sleep? I'd probably give sleep that's a that's tough between three and a half and four three point seven five stinkies three point seven five stinkies okay so decent don't don't be expecting to be wowed but throw it on it's entertaining yeah it's kind of like if you if you have a stinky trash and you

take it out and like the the smell kind of ling lingers for like 30 minutes or so that kind of smell. I hate that. Barbara why don't you wipe the palate clean with I'm sure a less viscerally disturbing idea. Are we doing stuff we liked right? Yeah stuff you liked. So I'm very sad in that I realized I don't think I saw a single new movie. TV works too. Okay. In that case, I was gonna ask. Only Murders in the Building, season four. Oh. I just finished it with Trevor, my fiance.

Season four is already out? Yeah, and finished. I didn't even finish watching season three. We fell off and I just haven't gotten back to it. That's the Meryl Streep season Right. Yeah Yeah, season 4 is done. Yeah, what the heck? Yeah, just I think it finished a few days ago from the time of recording this. Okay Again, like if you've never heard of only murders in the building

it's a show on Hulu that every season is a different like murder mystery essentially and starring a bunch of unknowns Something I was gonna say is that show is probably the most stacked show I've ever seen on television it like over the course of these seasons you have Steve Martin Martin short Selena Gomez Paul Rudd Meryl Streep Eugene Levy Sting Sting. Sting. Sting and Amy Schumer were both in the same season.

Sting and Amy Schumer made like a one episode cameo. Eva Longoria, Zach Galifianakis, and there's a bunch of other cameos and other characters throughout it. What turned to Cara Delevingne? That's her, right? Yes, Cara Delevingne. She was in season two. What's her name? Kara Delevingne? That's her right? She was in season two. And it's it's very well done and I also love a good murder mystery Like that's one of my favorite genres of anything which is I think why I liked our second campaign grotesque so much because it was Yeah, yeah

But yeah, we just finished it. It was great. I had a great time watching it and Yeah, it was okay Well, I this is this has been very informative because I didn't realize I'm that far behind on a show I genuinely love because I mean, mostly my draw was I adore Steve Martin and Martin Short. Oh yeah. I worship at their comedic feet.

And I like Selena Gomez too and I don't know if it's the way that her character is, but she is very like a little bit like unemotive. She's subdued. She's subdued. Very subdued in this show. And again, like I'm not sure if that's her character or if that's her acting style,

but I think she plays the character very well. And she's playing against Steve and Martin, Martin even more than Steve who are playing silly characters. Very silly. So she kind of plays a straight man to them a little bit. Yes. I think that show was so well received and knocked it so far out of the park in season one

that they were immediately like, the studio was like, let's get this in the production pipeline. And it's like every year now, like it just comes out like clockwork. They're just banging them out. There's none of this, like a lot of TV nowadays is like, oh, wait a year and a half,

wait two years for another season. And i think they are on the only murders in the building train and they are just like knocking those out oh yeah and there's i'm pretty sure gonna be another season because as every season has done it it's ended with another murder cliffhanger yeah and so yeah i obviously won't give anything away. Okay, I have to catch up. I'm probably the opposite of you, Barb. I don't watch very much TV anymore, so I'm behind on every show I want to watch. Every single one. But I watch all movies.

And the movie I want to talk about is Robot Dreams. I didn't even hear of that. Robot Dreams was an animated film. It's directed by Pablo Berger. Hit Berger. It's another international film. It is, I don't know what country, oh Spain, Spain. It comes from Spain.

And then it also has some animation from France. It is an animated film with no dialogue. The entire movie has no dialogue and it tells the story in like 1984 Manhattan but it's a world where it's inhabited by anthropomorphized animals. The lead character is just named Dog and it's Dog. Really thinking outside the box there. that one. Yeah, and Dog is a lonely kind of hermit in their home and they decide to order a robot. It's like kind of like a

1984 but futuristic like robots are a thing. They're very like simplistic robots But there's a robot to come be its friend and the whole movie is a story of their first year of relationship And it it goes places where they get separated at one point it kind of has a little bit of a Milo and Otis kind of vibe to it. But it's one of those movies that I would recommend to people because it is just an enjoyable, heartfelt and warming watch. Like if you're ever in the mood, like where you need that palate cleanse

from something heavier that you're watching, like this one is just, you can throw it on. It's so delightful. The animation is like akin to like, maybe like Bob's Burgers kind of like animation. It's very colorful, but like flat cell animation kind of look. It's got a great soundtrack. And like I said, the whole thing, no dialogue whatsoever.

They make a few effort sounds and that's about it. I feel like, at first I was like, oh, how do you have a whole movie like that? But then I think back to so many of like the Pixar shorts that they have play before a movie that often don't have any dialogue and it conveys beautiful emotion and it's like so well done. And I'm like, oh, I could see how someone

would accomplish that through animation. It's, I'm a huge fan of anybody who's going out there and doing gutsy things with animation. It's a it's I'm a huge fan of anybody who's going out there and doing gutsy things with animation and and so whenever I find these kinds of pieces that are just like it's it's I think it got it's gotten nominated for a few things. It's one of those like really like low budget indie kind of animation. How did you find it by the way? As an ad it was all it was all they had trailers at Alamo and so I was able to catch it because

of that. So it's not streaming anywhere yet you saw in the theater? Yes. I saw it a little while ago maybe this was an October thing maybe this was before October but I still just wanted to bring it up I wanted people to go check it out once they're able to. And what's it called? Robot Dreams so once it's able up. I wanted people to go check it out once they're able to. Robot dreams. So once it's able to come out for people to watch, I just wanted to, you know, it's kind of like what you were saying, Gus,

like tell people about stuff that they should put on their radar and catch while they can. Oh, this looks so cute. I'm looking at the photo of it. It's very cute. Cover art for it. Yeah, and it's a mixture of retro music and retro vibes, but then like there's a bunch of robots throughout the world as well.

I love that juxtaposition. Yeah. Absolutely. But, okay, so why don't you take us down to Bummers again, Gus, because you watch all Bummers. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.

But what else did you watch this last month that you want to tell people to watch? So I'm going to mention one very quickly. I watched Alien Romulus, which was, in my opinion, phenomenal. Finally a good Alien film. Second episode of Stinky Pop? I was going to say, we did an episode of Stinky Pop, so if you are listening to this and want to check it out, that is on our Patreon. But we have the Gus stamp of approval.

That's why I wanted to mention it, because I knew you had already talked about it. I'm not going to get into depth about it, but if you are subscribed our Patreon at StinkyDragonPod.com you can go listen to the Alien Romulus episode right now I'm not on that episode and watch it by then but I've subsequently watched it phenomenal film but I'm gonna talk about a different film I'm gonna talk about a documentary I watched on Netflix it's another foreign language one this This is a, yeah, it's a Colombian documentary. And let me tell you, I grew up speaking both Spanish and English and some Spanish accents sound very weird to me. Some sound like I speak my family from Mexico.

I speak Mexican Spanish. I could listen to Colombian Spanish all day. So give me a good Colombian film. A soothing dialect. It's good. It's a dialect I'm all on board with. It's good. Colombian dialect? It's good. It's a dialect I'm all on board with. It's good. Colombian talking, it's good.

It's good. So I watched a Colombian documentary on Netflix called The Accidental Twins, which sounds, the premise is almost like a science experiment. A science experiment you could never ethically do. Should we? Should me and John try to guess what accidental twinsidental twins what the sure of this is why not? So it's it's you said sci-fi

It's a documentary documentary Yeah, so the accidental could either be that these people have accidentally become twins And I don't know how you do that or they're accident prone twins Accidental what do you think Barb? I'm to say something about how like maybe they were born twins and separated at birth and then somehow found each other or got reunited. Yeah, that happens. You're on the right track, Barbara, but it's way more complicated than that. Oh, good.

So there's a set of twins born in Bogota, Colombia. We'll call them twins one There's a second set of twins born in the country on the same day in Colombia. We'll call them twins, too So it's two sets of twins, correct one of twins to become sick and has to go to the hospital in Bogota So they take him to the hospital now and they accidentally swap him with one of twins one So one of twins one goes to the country one of twins two stays in The city oh like they're like babies. They're like fraternal then at that point correct They the twins grow up assuming they're fraternal So it's two boys in Bogota who don't look anything alike and two boys in the country in the middle of nowhere who don't look

Anything alike Wow one day one of the twins who works in Bogota is told by his co-worker like hey I saw you at the butcher shop this past weekend. You didn't say hi to me You act like you didn't know me and the guy's like, I don't know I wasn't at the butcher I don't know what you're talking about then the co-worker goes back to the butcher shop takes a picture of that guy brings in He's like this isn't you and the guy's like no, that's not me Then the guy who's working who's being told this he looks up that butcher on Facebook It's like oh, yeah that guy does look like me.

Scrolls through it and sees a picture of that guy with that guy's brother. And it's like, that guy's brother looks like my brother. Oh my God. I need to watch this immediately after this recording. So then, yeah, it's like, by this point they're in their mid 20s, they're like 25 or something.

So then it's like, what in the world happened? So it's like unraveling and like, how do you deal with all of these family dynamics because you grew up with this person who you consider your twin brother, but it's not- And your parents and your family. Your real twin grew up out in the middle

is somewhere entirely different, had a totally different life experience. Both their families just got much bigger. Dude, that's insane. Accidental twin? Accidental twins. It's on Netflix. It's really just such a crazy story.

Like it gets much deeper. There's a lot more to explore about it. And since it happened relatively recently, you know, this was within the smartphone era. There is like video footage they took of themselves the day they meet each other Even though like this documentary hadn't been produced yet Like they were still learning about it like now that we have everyone has a smartphone with a high quality camera Like they were filming themselves and they filmed their first interactions and meeting each other and how all of that happened

So there's all of this footage documenting it all it's really really something else. I really recommend it. That's so cool. I need to go watch that I love premises like that, but like just the most wild things happening in real life that are just like the chances of it happening are so low. But and that's why I said like this sounds like a science experiment, but you could never do like you could never be like, like it's like trying to define that whole nature versus nurture thing is like, oh, this is the closest you could get to doing that because they actually do it. It's not very moral. nature versus nurture things like oh this is the closest you could get to doing that because

They they actually do it. It's not very moral, right? right Before we jump to Barbara's number two since you threw out a documentary I'm gonna quickly throw a document as well that I didn't put on my list, but I watched this last month It's on Netflix called daughters. It is a documentary crew following a bunch of families where they are participating in a program where this function I think that's called fathers and daughters I think that's what might be would be called they they throw fathers and daughter dances for daughters whose dads are in prison and they throw the dance in prison so it's

incarcerated fathers and the fathers have to go through this whole 10 week program beforehand in order to participate. So it's a whole like therapy group kind of thing. And they have to talk through it. But the documentarians are not only in the jail or in the prison, but they're also following the daughters outside. And it's a heartbreaking movie because it is about

like a broken system and how it continues to fail our families and fail our children. But it is shot so beautifully and the story and their stories that they follow are so compelling. Barbara, you will cry like crazy if you watch it. I know you. Yes, sir. But it is I want people to watch it because it's it's one of those kind of important stories that I think is very It's good for us to learn about how our country works

Yeah, definitely and to know about these kind of programs that are doing very altruistic things I think a good crying once in a while too. Yeah, what's what's it? What else did you watch this last month Barbara? I was gonna make a joke that I've been watching this documentary called the secret lives of Mormon wives. I watched I think the first 30 minutes of that and I was like oh I'm very intrigued I don't think I'm gonna watch this right now. I'm good. I've saw a couple movies that I enjoyed in the last few months. Okay help us out. One of which was Fly Me to the Moon. Oh that was good. Which was the uh Channing Tatum and Scarlett Johansson also Channie Tatum also known as Tate Tatingham Between me and Trevor because there was one night. We've completely forgot his name

And we just kept going is it Tate? My wife and I will call him tanning Chatham or Chatham tan like All the time I have no idea what that guy's name. Wow, that's so funny Yeah, just always forget about tate tating him as he's known in our household. It was great. It was about the moon landing Yeah, and more specifically like the marketing around the moon at that time Which I found fascinating because I have a degree in marketing and so to see Scarlett Johansson in that kind of role, I was like, ooh, like this would have been an alternate universe. But I thought it was like, it was very entertaining.

I thought the premise was really interesting. Um, it wasn't obviously the best movie in the world, but I, I quite enjoyed it. Fun, fun, fun. How did you watch that? Like what platform is that on? I watched it in theaters. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. That was a, that on I'll show you in theaters, okay? Yeah, yeah, that was a that was a few months ago in theaters, but it's I would imagine it's got to be on streaming at this

I think it's on Apple TV. I was gonna try to find out. Yeah, I think I think it should be there and then another movie I watched which For the majority of our audience. I probably wouldn't recommend because it's going to be a little too mature Was blink twice. Oh Another tanning tatting him another tate tatting ham movie actually I think about it. That one is very dark and very not Suited for young thriller is rated R rated R movie, but one of those movies that it's like

Uncomfortable and there's like you you're trying to figure out what's going on the whole time and there's a big twist and like a reveal. Psychological thriller. Yeah. Yeah. Which I like those because I like trying to figure out what the plot twist is going to be or what the reveal at the end is going to be. And I thought this one did a pretty good job with that. Did either of you check out on Netflix it's What's Inside? No. Did either of you check out on Netflix? It's what's inside. No Okay, it wasn't on my list but barbara you you've you brought a good like Recent uh thriller that I haven't gotten to watch yet I really I did want to watch blink twice. Um, so i'm glad that you watched it and sounds like you enjoyed it

Yeah, I also have a how many how many stinkies how many stinkies? That would I probably give a good three stinkiesies to. Three Stinkies, yeah. Gotcha. It's what's inside is a, I would say it's kind of in the genre of like Bodies, Bodies, Bodies, where it's like these Gen Z horror films involving modern problems that youths have.

Like Bodies, Bodies, Bodies is a bunch of influencers in the house and they're playing a game and that kind of thing. It's What's Inside is a reunion story of a bunch of childhood friends who are coming together to celebrate one of their's engagement. And one of their friends who was ostracized from the group but joins back up brings a device.

And the device, they all hook up to the device and what it does is that it swaps their brain to someone else's body. It's like a, you know, an invention that is able to kind of like give people this other experience through someone else's eyes. But then they play a game of who's in whose body is what they do. So it's very like mafia is what it is,

like werewolves within, or not, yeah, werewolves, not werewolves within the movie. Werewolves, that kind of thing. It's shot interestingly though, because they introduce this concept at the beginning of like, you know when you used to have those like, those, I can't remember what you call them, but like if

you put like a filter of red over this drawing you can only see the red drawing that's underneath it they do this where they switch the camera colors so that you can sometimes see who's actually in the body oh and they swap it back and forth so that you see actually the body itself but they do do it in color. That's a really cool premise. And do you know what platform it's on? I'm literally- It's Netflix, it's Netflix. Everything you guys are saying, I'm literally writing down

as like a to watch list because these all sound awesome. And this one is a thriller. There is some like, there's some violence, some like, it's a murder mystery a little bit is what it is. Kind of like bodies, bodies, bodies. Kind of like bodies, bodies, bodies a little bit is what it is kind of like bodies bodies bodies kind of like bodies bodies bodies and that's why it felt very much like that but the other movie I wanted to talk about that I got to see

in theaters is death becomes her oh that's a that's a that's a blast from the past like a 30 year old film oh it's old paramount yeah it's a very old 19 shoot nineteen ninety four so no it was in the 90s 90s 1990s 1990s Robert Zemeckis film the Paramount here in Austin was doing a bunch of it was called a Panic at the Paramount and they were doing a bunch of old movies for Halloween So went and saw it in theater never seen in theater had only seen when I was a kid when it was on TV And starring Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, and Bruce Willis. And it's a movie about the obsession that Hollywood has

with youthfulness and longevity and fame. And it's so campy, it's very over the top. It is Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn fighting for an hour and a half and it's fantastic. It's Bruce Willis playing as one of the most funny characters he's ever played, this meek mouse of a husband and

The twist is that these two like Hollywood starlets are obsessed with like become saying beautiful forever and they happen upon a Hollywood secret It's this like secret potion that only a select few people can take that gives them immortality But the twist is that their immortal bodies, while they never change, they never heal. And so they have to maintain their bodies in order for them to last for forever and that kind of thing. It's very silly.

It won an Academy Award for visual effects because there's some amazing visual effects for the 1990s and it. This is like when computer effects like kind of first started appearing in films. Yeah. Yeah, it was very, it was, I remember, I looked, it came out in 92, so I was like 14 when it came out.

I remember seeing the commercials and the trailers for it at the time. You're like, how did they do that? That looks crazy. Wow. It's a Halloween movie is what I would call, because it is a monster movie, but it is it is very Family not family friendly, but it's not gory and it's not like scary would you put it on like it's silly like hocus pocus kind of level of hocus pocus level of silliness

Probably not something that the kids will care about okay. It's not like fun witches. This is like Teens and up will think this is great Gotcha, but Divas doing what divas do best throughout the entire movie. It's so good. It you talking about like Hollywood's obsession with like looks and stuff like that and being ageless reminds me of a movie I really still want to see called the substance. Oh, I was gonna bring that up. Have you seen it? It's on my to-do. It's on my list. I'm probably gonna watch it this weekend Yeah, it's that's also another one that I would not recommend for anyone young. I think it's rated R apparently, it's like very body horror kind of it's but yeah a lot of body horror with

Jennifer Connelly. No, it's got Demi Moore and Margaret Connelly. Demi Moore. Yes. Can't remember what pretty brunette from Hollywood is. I know. Apparently it's very good. And that's something that I'd really like to see soon. Give me another one, Gus. So I'm gonna bring up, I guess, a TV show as well.

I've been watching The Penguin on Max, which I think is, uh, has seven episodes out now. I think it's an eight episode mini series. Uh, have you, have either of you been watching that by any chance? No, again, on my to-do list, no TV for me. I didn't start watching it until maybe like just before the weekend, uh, this past weekend, so I've only been watching it for like a week. Like I waited until like five episodes were out to start watching.

Yeah, I can't do week to week on anything anymore. I think next week is the last episode, if I remember right. And I'm probably up to episode seven somewhere on anyway. I wasn't going to watch. I don't know. It really didn't seem interesting to me, but there was so much buzz about it online and like the reviews for it seemed so great. And I was like, I liked the Batman movie, okay, it was fine. So I was like, I don't remember,

I've watched it once when it came out and I was like, yeah, I'll start watching The Penguin. And it's fine, it's the most fine show possible. Like, I don't know that it does anything like super groundbreaking or new. Like the first couple episodes I was like Colin Farrell is just doing like a Tony Soprano impression while dressed up in makeup. I don't know that it's necessarily doing anything like super crazy or groundbreaking. It's not bad. I'll watch it. It's fine. It gets better as it goes on, but it's not like, Oh my God,

this is like it. I think my expectations were set too high because of all the reviews and what people were saying online. It's totally fine. It's not bad. That happens with me with a lot of stuff. Yeah, but it's not amazing. It's like two stinkies, two and a half stinkies. It's, it's okay. Yeah. If it's all out, if all eight episodes are out and you wanna watch it, knock yourself out. It's a- You wanna watch something very good on, cause that's a max show, right?

Yeah. That is DC related. You wanna watch My Adventures with Superman, which is the animated Superman movie where David Quaid does the voice from, or no, Jack Quaid? Jack Quaid. Yeah, I was like trying to remember his name. It's Jack Quaid, yeah. Jack Quaid does the voice from or no Jack Quaid Jack Quaid yeah I was like trying to remember his name it's Jack Quaid yeah Jack Quaid he does the voice of Superman really good Superman animated show like like got some anime vibes out now right

yeah I recommend everybody go watch it and it's it's definitely worth your time also Yeah, that's another uh, yeah max max thing. Sorry max Uh, you you've distracted me and you made me think of something else that I want to bring up real fast john if I may Permission to permission to add another one Yeah, um also on max also animated. This was why I remembered about it. I watched the Junji Ito horror series, Uzumaki. Oh, I've seen the stuff about that. Yeah, it's only four episodes that are half an hour each. Okay. So it's a quick watch. So movie? Yeah. Like movie length to watch the whole thing. Yeah. Roughly. Oh, I see what you're saying. And you know, it's all narrated, it's like one story, it's done in four episodes. If you're not familiar with that like Junji Ito horror

it's bonkers like it's a really weird story. What weird anime? What? The visuals are like I watched the first episode and the visuals were amazing. The second episode I watched I was like the visuals are not as good something changed and apparently there were production problems behind the scenes so it's like it's very uneven in quality it's still watchable like there's nothing wrong with it it's just like oh something is different. That happens. That happens. Again going back to what I said before like if you want something totally different not you know originally because I think it was originally a manga series in Japan that Junji Ito had written and it was adapted into this animated series.

If you want something like that's totally out of left field, not with this, like this country sensibilities at all. Check it out. It's also on Max. If you're looking for the weird, that's what it is. It's weird and like super disturbing and kind of gross. Okay. But it's all like black and white. Like they present it like in manga style.

Has Gus brought anything that someone under 10 should watch? Probably not. I say we haven't, Stinky Pop is not here with those guys. Like I said, the last episode we talked about like horror movies that kids wouldn't want to watch and then we've done Wolverine and Deadpool and we've done alien Romulus also it's totally fine if you are one of the people who are Listening to this while waiting in line to vote that means you are 18 or older so there you go safe there you go

If you're doing that Barbara what else you've been watching um Something I wanted to bring up that I was disappointed in oh no Might be controversial or y'all might agree with me wholeheartedly The second beetle juice movie the new beetle juice it was Fine it was and I understand that I might be a little skewed in my opinion because I actually never had seen the first Beetle juice I did I've seen Clips from it Trevor basically told me the entire story before you're about to see the second one

Wow, we were invited. I mean, I think John you were there too. We're in there to his greeting for it So I was like, well, I you know, I want to take this opportunity to see the movie But in my opinion it could have been much stronger if you took away like Three out of the ten plot points that was happening in that way. There's a lot of plot lines. There's a lot of subplots. So much going on.

There's a lot going on. Burton had a lot of ideas that he'd been probably thinking about for quite a while. And so many characters that I just felt like were maybe not necessary. Yes. So it wasn't bad. And I like, I still had fun in certain moments but I just felt myself being like, blah, blah, blah, blah, like, oh my God there's so much going on.

This is, some things were weird in a good way and some things were weird in a bad way. So yeah, just, I kind of left being like, oh, that was, yeah, not as good as I was was hoping for that was like a Beetlejuice sound effect You did right? I will say Katherine O'Hara Shoes up the scene every time the cameras honor every time perfect her and also why am I blanking on his name? The guy who plays Beetlejuice Michael Keaton Michael Keaton incredible

Um, yeah, those two were definitely shining moments of that. Did Monica Bellucci say a word the entire movie? I can't remember. What was the point of her? She was part of like, they did the origin story thing they do with like these sequels like, well, where did Beetlejuice come from? And she was like his wife and that kind of thing. But yeah, she's like built up to be the antagonist in the entire film. And then she's gone. It literally is like that could have been completely chopped out of the movie and it would have made a single difference.

She murders Danny DeVito and that's about all she does that's interesting. Yeah, pretty much. I still haven't seen it. I'm waiting for it to come to max. It's one of those things where like, I watched The Original Beetlejuice and when I was a kid and I loved it

and I still think it's a great film. Yeah. But I've been under no rush to watch it. I'll still think it's a great film. Yeah, but I've been in under no rush to watch I'll wait till it's free and then and then I'll watch it Movie you shouldn't wait for wasn't the worst Wasn't the worst wasn't amazing how many stinky's? Probably like two yeah, I think that's fair. Yeah I'm going France. I'm going

Kind of dramatic sci-fi, but multiple timelines piece. I wanna talk about the beast or La Bette. La Bette. La Bette. I believe it's on Apple TV. You can rent it on Apple TV. It's a Lea Seydoux film, Lea Seydoux, who's one of the actresses in the later Bond films

like Spectre and No Time to Die, but also Dune II. She's also in the Missing Impossible films. Was she in Missing Impossible? Yeah, isn't she? She's like the... I think you're thinking Bond. Is she in Ghost Protocol?

I'm gonna look it up for you. She might be, she might be. Yeah, look it up. But, and then also it's got George McKay who He was the guy from 1917 the one-shot the single-shot World War two film. Yeah And it's this movie that takes place in the future like 2040 where AI has taken over most jobs So people don't really have a lot of work where AI has taken over most jobs, so people don't really have a lot of work.

But in order to get better jobs, they can go through this whole DNA purging process where they explore their past lives and in doing so, purge all their emotions. Humans don't have jobs because they can't be trusted because of their emotions. So Leia said you can go through this process to get a better job

But she's like experiencing her past lives and she experiences a past life in 1910 France And she experienced a life in like 2014 America And it's this kind of weird overlapping timelines thing George McKay plays this guy who also keeps showing up in her other lives And so she's it's kind of like like, are they soulmates kind of story? And I've talked to Gus about this where I'm like, I'm kind of on a French film kick. This is a really good example of really good French film. It's a little bit of a slow cerebral burner.

It doesn't tell you all the answers from the get-go and it's a little confusing. Is it subbed or dubbed? It's, I mean I watch it subbed. I don't know if it could be dubbed but I watch everything subbed. That sounded snobbish, it's just my preference. But I just, I love Lea Seydoux and and I love anything that's a good like French sci-fi that comes out of there. So find the beast and watch the beast. She was in Ghost Protocol. She's uh, she kills Sawyer from Lost at the very beginning Okay, and then she meets to do the diamond exchange in the in the tower Remember now I remember now she's great. I Whenever I hear of like French film or French things or the French language, till the day I die, I'm gonna think of Dexter's Laboratory

and Omelette du Fromage. Omelette du Fromage. It's just like, yeah, it's just like ingrained in me. It's like at the core of my being is Omelette du Fromage. That's pretty, speaking of like accents, George McKay plays a character in the middle timeline in 2014 he's this British actor but he plays a American in the middle timeline and he is he plays this like in cell

vlogger who like talks he's like he's shooting these videos about how like women will never date him and that kind of thing. But he captures that character, that American character perfectly. And you hate that character perfectly. It sounds like a character I would not enjoy. But that's the thing is that he plays his other two lives are in are these very charismatic. He's using his normal like British dialect accent and he plays he's very charismatic and Enchanting character so it's very jarring when they finally cut to this character And he does such a good job you like you kind of have to figure out you know where each timeline ends and begins

It's great You got something else Gus. I was gonna mention go for it before Gus Johnson. I don't know if you guys saw gonna mention before Gus jumps in I don't know if you guys saw and maybe we should save this for the end of things we're excited for coming out eventually that are oh you got something coming up you want to watch yes two things in particular okay but I could say for the end if we prefer we make the rules okay okay this is my show and I say yes two things I'm very excited for coming out I don't know if you guys saw there's gonna be a second season of squid game Yes, very soon. I don't know how you follow up the first show

I also don't know like I saw a trailer for it, which I kind of regret watching a trailer I want to go in blind. I'm going in blind but I guess I won't give anything away. Yeah, don't give anything away But I I had questions after that trailer to Barbara. Maybe if you want, we can sidebar about it. Okay. Yeah. Here, I'm gonna take my headphones off and you guys can talk. My question is, why would the guy who did the Squid Games

go back and do it again? Right. And he's also going back and it's like, from what you see in the trailer, I assume it's not the entire thing. They show like the same games, like the robot girl is there like so I Imagine we'll start seeing some of the same stuff and then it'll go it'll change but yeah, I don't know It was weird. It's gotta happen. Yeah. Okay. We'll give John the thumbs up John

I'm one of those people like it's so funny. I'm dating someone who's the exact opposite of this I don't like any spoilers whatsoever. I don't want to know anything about stuff I like to go in blind she will like Lily were watching something. She'll look up a spoiler. Yeah Yeah, I can't even even when I'm watching a TV show I can't look it up on IMDB because I don't want to know if an actor is in like only a certain number of episodes You're like, oh this part this character doesn't make it Yeah, I've spoiled a number of reality shows for myself that way where I just like oh I want to see this person's Instagram to see like you know I

Just get to know them better as a person and then I end up seeing something from an episode had to watch it I'm like oh, man How about one more for oh wait you had one more thing you were looking forward to? Severance season two. Yes. God talk about a show gusts that you were saying like you have to wait forever for the second season God, it's been Severance was a covet show. Wasn't it? I want to say it was 2021 or 2022 So it's been three or three or four years since it's come out

Yeah, but that that first season of severance. I think I might rewatch it Just I have to I have to but I I don't know that I've enjoyed a season of television More than that. I think breaking bad Adam Scott. Oh my gosh this is just so well done and also like the last episode too is just like Man mind-blowing it premiered February of 2022 Wow, so yeah, this will be three years later because it's January 2025 that it comes back. And I don't know if you've read this. There's been a lot of talk about the production problems for Severance Season 2. Is that why it took so long? Yeah, that's one of the reasons it took so long. And the spiraling budget for Severance

Season 2. Yeah. Spiraling like as in ballooning? Yes, it is the most expensive TV show ever made. Whoa, what? $200 million budget for Severance season two. Whoa. That's not good. But I mean, it's so, it's such a good show.

That's what I'm saying, but that kind of stuff goes like, well, this might be our last season. I know. Cause those kinds of things like, When it's too expensive. It gets too expensive. That's what happened. That's what happened to Westworld. Westworld was like, we have one more season.

We'll be done. And Max was like, nah, HBO. He was like, no, no, just end it. It's over. I watched Dark Crystal, the Netflix series of like, and I watched it. I was like, oh, this looks too good. This looks too good.

And no one will watch it because it is a niche Muppets IP, the zillest season I'm ever getting. As I'm watching it, I knew it, I knew it. And it made me sad immediately. Let's go one more each and then we'll do things for people to avoid even though you guys have already done some things for people to avoid. Oh yeah.

Sure. I have one more here. Go for it. It's a streaming series on Netflix. Once again, it's a Korean series From I watch a lot of Korean content. So for me on Netflix It was like first page Okay, it kept trying to get me to watch the show and I kept ignore you like this stuff watching right and eventually

I was like fine. I'll watch it. It's called the frog Yeah, yeah, have you seen it? No, but I It's also been recommended to me, but I me, but it seems interesting. Is it good? I think it was a big push for them. I think it was a series they really wanted everyone to see. It's like one of their prestige shows. It's shot beautifully. It's acted well. The story and editing are a mess. Oh no! Oh no. That's too bad. It looks great and it's good at times, but then lots of times it's just confusing. I'm gonna tell you something.

This will help you if you decide to watch it. The story takes place over two different timelines and that's never made clear until like episode three or four. And the whole time I was like, what's going on? Like, it's like these two different stories that are happening that aren't intersecting. And eventually, eventually I'm like, oh, the calendar behind this person says 2001. This is 20 years in the past. This has no relevance in what's going on now So one of those things where they think they're being super clever, but all they're actually doing is confusing their audience, right? and I think that

Maybe the script need a little more polish and or the edit needed to be done a little differently because it's it's like really Intense, you know the basic premise is like this older kind of semi retired guy runs a like an Airbnb out in the country, right? It's just him and like this other old guy who helps him run it and then one day this kind of like creepy young woman shows up to rent it and there's just something unsettling about her and like you realize that she's like she's a killer and she does bad things and this like now she's tied up into a killer and she does bad things. And it's like now she's tied up into this guy's life who just runs like a simple Airbnb in the country. And he's just trying to get her out of his life without her

messing his life up or doing anything bad. And it's like eight episodes and the lead actress in it is an actress named Comincy. And she's great. I've seen her in a few things. And actually, the there's like an older female detective in it is an actress named Comincy and she's great. I've seen her in a few things. And actually the there's like a an older female detective in it who is the she plays the original housekeeper in Parasite, the one who gets ousted. She looks very different. Like it was it was like I watched it. I was like, oh yeah, that was her. Like she looks kind of familiar. Oh yeah, she was in she was in Parasite too. So many Parasite actors.

Pretty different. Yeah. I think all of those actors have their choice of roles now after the huge success that Parasite was. Is that still your favorite movie, do you think? Absolutely. I just rewatch it again the other day. I told John, I want to do a stinky pop by myself, just like a watch along a Parasite.

Now it's on my list. I would like to do it at some point. Um, because I love that film, but yeah. Uh, and then again, kind of like what I was talking about with Sleep, the lead actress here, Komen C. I've seen her in some, I've watched her in a reality show with the lead actress from Sleep. And again, she's like young and goofy and just kind of like always laughing and making jokes. And in this show, she's a killer.

Wow. Never not typecast. Yeah, watching that acting transformation where it's like, oh yeah, she's scary in this show she's a killer. Wow. Definitely not a typecast. Watching that acting transformation where it's like, oh yeah, she's scary in this. People got chops. Yeah. What's your final one? What's your final one, Barb? My recommendation? Yeah.

So, this probably goes against the rules. It's actually a YouTube channel, if I may. It's fine. Hey, do what you want to do. I'm just trying to think of the stuff that I really enjoy watching. What you've been watching. So this is a YouTube channel that Trevor and I really love called Kara and Nate. You've probably heard me talk about it before in some content in the past because it's the only YouTube channel we've watched really. Yeah, I think I've heard you mention it. They are travel vloggers and we started watching them especially during the pandemic because

we were just like stuck at home and it was nice to see people's travel videos and then during the pandemic they, like many people, got a van and did like traveling around the US via the van. But they make great, great content and it's's really good living vicariously through other people as they experience different things and getting to see them participate in different challenges. It's a husband and wife, Kara and Nate. And Nate just participated in this 100-mile run,

which was very extreme and very interesting to watch the buildup to it and the training. It was called ultra-marathons, I think, or something like that. Yeah. And they've done things where they've climbed the equivalents of Mount Everest in this other challenge they've done. They biked across America in one thing, but they also do like, it's called wish fulfillment, I guess content where they're like based on the amount of traveling they've done, they've

accrued points and so they're able to get these like crazy upgrades and do all these things and so or the hotels or or Airlines offer them things to like make a video if they like stay in a hotel And so they've done things like oh we stayed at like a $10,000 a night room in Vegas and they like film the whole experience And I don't know I just like they're very positive people and very fun to watch and they make really just like they're very positive people and very fun to watch and they make really Quality travel videos and so if you're just looking to like completely escape from reality

And you know, but still enjoy kind of like the world in a positive way. It's really fun to watch them. I Love travel stuff like that. Yeah All right, some some comfort watches for people to throw on their timeline. Exactly. Well, one, I looked it up. It was like, Robot Dreams is actually all over the place. So I'm pretty sure I watched it by renting it from Apple TV or YouTube or something. Oh, nice.

OK. I think that's what it was. I was like, I watched it recently. Did I not watch it recently? It's on my diary. But I'm going to go, I got two movies that I wanted to talk about. I'll talk about this one. Another French. Another French film. French animated film.

Another animated film. But not one for the kids. Robot Dreams for the kids. Watch Robot Dreams for the kids. Mars Express is not for the kids. It's... It sounds like it could be. Mars Express is like it's like

Ghost in the Shell like era of sci-fi noir kind of stuff you can rent and watch it on like a million places but it is it's set in like the future where, in fact I wrote down the synopsis because I wanted to like read the synopsis. In 2200, main character Aline Ruby, who's a private detective, and Carlos Rivera, who's her android replica of her partner who died five years ago. People kind of have like backups of themselves, so he's like this android backup of his like body because he died five years ago. People kind of have like backups of themselves. So he's like this Android backup of his like body because he died five years ago. They're sent to earth to capture this woman

who has a warrant for her arrest. But the whole story is about these like this world where robots and synthetics and augmented humans exist. It's got a little bit of like iRobot vibes where it's like the robots are obviously they follow these direct bit of like iRobot vibes where it's like, the robots are obviously, they follow these directives of like not being able to hurt humans and having to follow direct reports from humans, that kind of thing.

But people are like jailbreaking the robots so that they can do whatever they want. But then there's also like, it's kind of like there's an underlying plot of like something deeper and sinister going on with the robots and the companies that are making them and that kind of thing. It's very graphic as far as animated.

Like there is actual like gore, but it's not like, it's not as bad as I would say like Akira, which has a little bit more body horror. This is just like, there's a little bit of blood and a little bit of like some violence, but it is captivating from the get-go. Like it immediately draws you in. You're like, I love this world.

Like the world building is really interesting. The design is beautiful. It never gets boring. It keeps moving. The main character is really interesting. And it's got like, it's kind of like on the level of what I would think of like Minority Report where someone was like, it's kind of like on the level of what I would think of like Minority Report where someone was like,

let's really try to envision like an interesting future with like advanced technology that seems like it might happen. But I just watched it actually just the other day. I immediately, it's like, I texted Blaine. I was like, hey, someone made a movie for you. You didn't realize it. It's very a Blaine movie

Mars Express directed by Jeremy Perrine It's fantastic. Sounds cool. It's another one of those animated ones I'm like, please keep making these kind of anime movies forever. I know animation is like a struggling art Never stop because this is is exactly what this is for Do you think it's you could like looking at all the members of Stinky Dragon, like point to each person and go like, I know your movie, I know your movie, like how Blaine's would be like Predator or Alien or something like that. If I couldn't before we started Stinky Pop, I can now after we've done Stinky Pop, because I've really got to read, I think, on a lot of you

that I didn't have quite a good read on. That's cool. But yeah, I could 100% craft a five movie list. I'm like, I could tell you would probably like these five movies, that kind of thing. But yeah, Mars Express, check it out. Real fast sidebar based on something you said. It still creeps me out to this day, speaking of Akira,

how prescient that movie was and how close some of those things came to happening. Akira, which came out in the 80s, early 80s, I believe, was set in Tokyo in 2020 when a global pandemic was going on and the Olympics were about to be held. Wow. And I was like, when all of that stuff started happening, I was like, oh no. Tetsuo, watch out.

Did you guys bring something that we could kind of dish on something bad you watched? What's something bad you guys watched? I mean, my answer was mostly Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice was was your bad watch luckily didn't see very many bad pieces of content this my ego you stick to the stuff you like yeah I try to stick with things I know I'm gonna like I had a few questionable misses which I mentioned but I did want to bring something up

you reminded me of something that I am looking forward to okay quite a bit which is there's gonna be a new Ghost in the Shell anime coming out in 2026. Oh, fun. Oh, wow. Ghost in the Shell is one of my all time top favorite movies, the original Ghost in the Shell anime from the early 90s. And even the standalone complex from the early 2000s,

I think both seasons, seasons one and two are just like phenomenal, like tour de force, just showing off what can be done storytelling and with visuals at the time. The visuals are a little dated now, but I think at the time they were just absolutely incredible. I remember the animated film having pretty good visuals. Incredible. You're talking about like the original

Ghost in the Shell anime? Yeah. Just like, yeah, for hand drawn, just like some of the stuff was just like breathtaking. Yeah. Like the city scape stuff is just so phenomenal. And if you've never seen it, I mean, this is a movie or this anime has inspired just about every sci-fi

cyberpunk thing that has come after it. Like if you've seen the matrix and you've never seen Ghost in the Shell, you should go watch Ghost in the Shell. He's like, oh. If you've seen Blade Runner and haven't seen Ghost in the Shell, you should go watch Ghost in the Shell. It's like, oh. If you've seen Blade Runner and haven't seen Ghost in the Shell, you should go watch Ghost in the Shell.

Yeah. It's like, oh, all of this came from that. I think, but I would say even the visual language of Ghost in the Shell is a lot more directly represented in The Matrix as opposed to Blade Runner. I think they're both cyberpunk stories, but I think if you look at Ghost in the Shell, you're like, oh, this is an animated, kind of like an animated precursor an alpha of the matrix which they the the Wachowski sisters they they talked about how anime was a huge contributor to the matrix they're big weebs mm-hmm I never knew that the matrix is a very nerdy movie so it is so

nerdy some few people have watched it. Love The Matrix. I will tell you, since you guys didn't have, since Gus, you didn't have anything too terrible, although you said Penguin wasn't very good, I'll give you two terrible movies I watched this month. Oh no. One's not gonna be a surprise to anybody

that I watched it and it was terrible because it's been panned by everybody, but Joker, Fully I Do. You watched it? Gosh, I- Oh, I went to the movie theater I saw it you paid money It was one of those movies that it's actually really interesting how it starts off and you're like

Because I knew going in it was bad because people already like reviewed it You're like, it's not that bad That point to the end of the movie. You're like, how did it get so bad? How how'd you do this? How'd you fumble get so bad? How did it get so, how? How'd you do this? How'd you fumble this so bad? Oh my God, this movie was terrible. It's like a full on musical too, right?

Which I think a lot of people didn't really know. And it's not a good musical, which is amazing, cause Lady Gaga's in it. Right, and she's great. It's not a good musical. Oh. And it doesn't like that it's a musical, and it doesn't want to show that it's a musical,

but it sings so much. And every time it does, by end of the movie you're like not another song not another song I think they tried to really hide that in the marketing, right? Like you don't hide that marketing for all musicals now. There's no musical that is market as a musical except for wicked And that's because you can't hide that it's cuz it's based on a Broadway show. Yeah, but like the Wonka movie no one advertised that it was a full musical It's just a thing now Cuz no one wants musicals. Why are they making them if they have to hide it in the marketing? It makes no sense I don't know

Another movie that I watched that is I think another one people would be surprised that I watched but no one's surprised it was bad. I watched Borderlands. Cause I had to. I had to, I had to. Which I also heard that was poop. Wow. There are shots in Borderlands that,

I don't know if I opened up After Effects if I'd be able to do a single visual effect. I think I could do better visual effects than Borderlands. Wow, that bad. Did they not have a good budget for it or something? It is such a ballooned budget. It was such a costly movie. I don't know how it costs so much and looks so bad.

And then also was not fun or interesting or a good homage to the video game. The performances are mixed. Not everyone is phoning it in, but no one has a good script to read the entire movie. So even when they're trying to deliver things well, it's not a good line in the first place. even when they're like trying to deliver things well, it's not a good line in the first place.

It's, it might be the worst video game film ever, in my opinion. Well, until the Minecraft movie comes out. Until the Minecraft movie comes out, which I don't, I'm sure I'll go see that with my kids. But I've watched, actually, I'll fair, I watched so many movies that I, and I'm unlike you guys where I'm like,

I try and like look out things that have like mixed reviews sometimes, just to see like, cause you can find some gems in there sometimes of things that people, you know, improperly reviewed. No, everyone aptly reviewed Borderlands. Wow. Yeah, I think I heard some friends of ours

who also do podcasts talk about that movie in a very similar vein John so it's such a bummer because we even know people that got to do appearances in it Oh, yeah, yeah, but uh, it's not good Such which is such a bummer to say but I'm glad we did come up with a lot of fun things I hope people can have some suggestions. I love that this was with you and Gus,

this was running the gamut of genres and specificities. So hopefully this distracted you all from your day or just gave you something good to listen to or made you even think like I want more of this. And if you do, you can go to patreon.com slash stinky dragon pod or stinky dragon. Look up. Look, stinky dragon, yeah. Hey, look up dummy, you're next. It's your turn to vote. Go, you can go to patreon.com slash stinky dragon pod or stinky dragon. Look up, look, see you dragon.

Yeah. Hey, look up dummy. You're next. It's your turn to vote. Go holding up the line. Could you imagine? Why do you have your phone on? You're not supposed to have a phone out near the voting booth.

What are you doing? Oh no, they're going to get mad. If you are voting today or have already voted, thank you for, for doing your patriotic duty of making your voice heard. Very important, no matter what. Some of us like myself who are Canadian but have a residency here in the states can't vote. So I really appreciate everyone taking the time to go do that.

And if you're one of our weird foreigner audience members and are just looking at this from afar, enjoy the episode and enjoy what happens in our country. Yes. Again, that's stinkydragonpod.com. Thanks, y'all. Bye.
