Oh, Jesus. This is the morning stream. Good morning, everybody. Welcome back to TMS. It's the morning stream for October 27, 2021. I'm Scott Johnson, and he is Brian Hibbitt. Hello, Brian. He is. He is. I can confirm that he is.

I checked my ID this morning, and I am still Brian Ibit. Nice. Do you know what blood type you are? You get somebody asked me this morning via some email what blood type I was, and I couldn't tell them. I don't know. You know what? Hold on. Let me taste. I believe I am a positive. Tina knows. That's the funny thing. Tina knows my blood type, Tristan's blood type,

of course, her blood type. So as long as she's with me if I ever need blood, then I'm good. I think Kim knows mine, but I'm not 100% sure on that. I really should look into that

because if you ever like, I don't know, like what if you're out in a restaurant or something and you fall over and you're bleeding all over the place? What type of blood is he? And you're like, I don't know. I know.

And then they won't know what to give you. That's why Tina needs to be around me at all times or else. Yeah, that's a good idea. I don't even have, I don't even know my wife's phone number. It's just in my phone, right? Like, I don't know. It's three, six. Yeah, I know.

There's a few phone numbers that I feel like, you know, back when you were a kid, you knew, like, you knew your mom's, you knew your home phone number. You knew your mom's work number. You knew your dad's work number. You knew, like, all those numbers. yeah um i think i even knew uh what was like the number for the pizza place we like to order from or something i mean it was like you had all this in a little roll-a-x in your head yeah and what's funny is i can still remember those numbers a lot of them yeah i remember my childhood my childhood

i totally remember that like my my home number at home yeah yeah because yeah because you were you were basically taught that if you got kidnapped uh you You needed that phone number if you ever got loose and needed to call your parents. Yeah. And it was pounding into us. That's basically like the fear that was put into. If you're like, you don't remember your home number, then you're going to get kidnapped and you're never going to be able to get back home. Yeah.

So I feel like I'm a, I don't know, I'm doing something wrong that I don't know by heart. I don't know my kid's numbers by heart. I barely remember mine half the time. It's just, this has made us lazy, this little candy bar box in our pocket. You know? Yeah. I don't know, man. Boy, it was fun.

We did trivia last night, and it sure was fun watching. So Crazy Neighbors usually don't come with us to trivia. This was a very unusual night. We found a trivia place, or a new bar brewery that opened up by our house, and they now have trivia on Tuesday nights. And it's like, oh, perfect. We're going to go do that. And Crazy Neighbors said, hey, it's close enough. We're going to join you.

The anxiety caused by them not being able to pull their phone out and look things up that we were talking about, Even if they didn't have anything to do with the question, most times they had nothing to do with the question we were answering. Sure. They would, like, reach for their pocket, go, oh, I can't get my phone out. Oh, man. It was kind of like, wow, what are you? 13-year-olds? What's the matter with you, people?

I guess they're not used to, how did you do? I saw that license plate thing seemed like fun. That looked like a film set. That was a blast, yeah. The license plate, that one I got 100% on. That one, and I was able to solo that one. um we came in second and we i thought we did pretty well there were some really tough questions last night and we we probably got 80% of the questions right but there was another team there

that was just dominating and this is i was the only person from my usual trivia team there tina was there um crazy neighbors and then another neighbor and um you know they're they're smart academically they're not smart trivially Sure. There is a difference. They're smart about important things. They're not smart about dumb things. It's a nice way of putting it.

Yeah. So I put this license plate thing up over you for a second. How did this work? So like, shaky cam 99, that must have been Blair Witch, right? Right. So that's exactly right. So what you're doing is you're trying to name not the movies, but the movie villain. that each vanity plate represents.

Oh, interesting. Oh, that's even harder, though, because Shaky Cam, who was the villain in that? The Blair Witch. Duh. Wasn't there a project movie about a Blair Witch something? I don't know why if it didn't stop and think about that,

but yeah, the Blair Witch. Yeah, I mean, you could go through these. I'll tell you what my initial thought was for Six. Okay. For those at home listening, six says 19. 92 atop Illinois. It says bees

and then land of Lincoln underneath. And of course my first thought was Oh, Wicker Man. But no, I did instantly came around to it being Candyman. Oh, Candyman, of course, 92. I knew that. It wasn't

Chicago, Illinois. I mean, it's Land of Lincoln. Yeah. All right. How about, maybe one of these I don't know. Maryland Man-Eater. Uh-huh. Maryland.gov 91. Yeah, that's not important.

I mean, the fact that Maryland is important because that movie takes place in Maryland, the year and the location, so who was a man eater in Maryland, just outside of Washington, D.C. to be specific. Oh, shit.

Signs of the lambs, duh. All right. And then so Hannibal Lecter, your villain, right? Or is it the... That's correct. Exactly. Nope. That's exactly right. You're looking for the character and not the movie. And it's funny because some people, for the third, number three, which is a Colorado license plate that says, here's Johnny. Yeah. A couple or somebody in the, uh, in the trivia thing last night answered, Jack Torrance, but we all know the real villain was the Overlick hotel. Yeah, the hotel's the problem.

And the whole, like, what it does to people and stuff. So, all right. Interesting. I really like that one. I think it would have been a fun one. Every, so Gakesu Drink, every game has, their round five is a visual like this. And sometimes it's movie frames. Sometimes it's something like this, pieces of animation, things like that.

But it's always like a one page thing. And from now on, I'll make sure to bring it and share it. Nice. I like these when we hear about these. These are great. Yeah, yeah, and we got a solid second place. Oh, well. There you go.

Okay, I just wanted to report back. I played a couple hours of that Guardians of the Galaxy game. And I'm sad to tell everyone that I love it so far. Just kidding. I was trying to throw Brian for a minute. It's very good. It's like, you know what it's reminding me of? I can't believe how much it reminds me of uncharted for some reason.

and that's a weird thing to say that maybe it's structurally sliding down yeah you know the the jumping from platform to platform that top down view i totally get it some of that stuff yeah for sure but also i think just structurally and story and kind of the way the story is being linearly told even though you're in these like vast environments it's very it's also snarky which is very yeah that's very much uncharted if i if i had one complaint it's the that the voice actors for Rocket and Peter Quill are a little too similar. Yeah, I can't tell who's taught. When they're together and they're just having a conversation about get to that giant fan or whatever during that early mission,

I was like, I don't know which one of you talking right now. Right. No idea. So they needed Rocket to be a little more like this, like just kind of a more gutteral thing. Instead, those dudes sound the same. Since it's not going to be, it's not MCU guardians anyway, you know, since they're playing off the comic book guardians, they don't have to sound that similar to the movie counterparts. I'm not sure how I feel about DRAX.

I mean, obviously, it's just a design choice. But DRAX's weird concentric circle tattoo thing is kind of like, it throws me a little bit. Isn't that current? I thought that's current. Is that current? I haven't read any brand new issues of Guardians. It's been a long time. And Dax the Destroyer, come on, last time I read out, Dax the Destroyer comic.

he had the black crap around his eyes but he actually had like a skin tight uniform and I think even a dark green cape or something I mean it was trying to see if I can find a recent image just because for some reason it seems right and the rest of them all kind of like the Gamora look is definitely modern comic yes yeah she's not even the old Gamora with the yeah

it's really good though I like it is really good Yeah, I like it a lot. I'm finding it to be, I'm a little surprised that by, basically, of the AAAs I've played this year, this one's like maybe the best I've played. Oh, wow. And I didn't expect that going into it. I thought, oh, well, this would be fun and kind of throw away or whatever. But I think it's a hell of a thing.

It's the old DSX team, and they make great game, so I shouldn't be so skeptical. Anyway, so there was that. I really enjoyed it. And if you're, if you're hanging on, you know, I'm playing it on a series X. Brian's playing it on a PS5. It's on PC as well. So it's everywhere. And it's a legit next generation.

This thing looks real, real good. Mm-hmm. Real good. God, it's gorgeous. Yeah. 60 frames per second consistently. I did have one lockup, but it was no big deal picked up right where I was. Mm-hmm.

But it just froze for a while. Yeah, there's a good point. This game's Peter Quill comes from the 80s and not the 70s, obviously, as you find, As you go through his room, you don't get the 70s music like you do in the MCU Peter Quill back story. Oh, yeah, for sure. He's living in the, you know, night. He's living in our bedrooms with our almost Gremlin's poster and our almost garbage pet or garbage pale kids on the floor. I probably spent a little too much time in that room.

I looked at a lot of stuff for a long time. I did too. I looked at everything. Because there was like an Intellivision on the floor. There was like an ad at on the floor. on the shelf. Yes, a weird ad at with a tail and, uh... It's like a dinosaur ad at kind of.

Yeah, exactly. So without, you know, straight up calling it that, but then an actual like Rolling Stone magazine with this, you know, fake Star Lord band on it. How, how, how canon is it that Star Lord was a band that he named himself after that band? That I don't know. That's new to me. And, uh, it really could be from the comics. Hmm.

And I just don't remember seeing it. Makes me want to seek some of those out. I'll see what I can read. Get the damn app. May as well do it. All right. Yeah. Got the damn app.

Our street continues. Brian from Denver writing in again, yet again. Brian from Denver. All right, Brian. Hi, Brian. Wow, that's two days in a row, Brian from Denver. I know. Actually, I think these...

You're going to start charging you rent if you stay in our show notes for too much longer. I might actually be reading these out of order now that I think about it, but it's okay. Brian from Denver wrote in says, hey, Scott and Brian, I just need to stop... I'm sorry, I think you just need to stop talking about celebrities. You recently mentioned bosom buddies on the show, and I just found out that Peter Scolari died. Thanks for the body count, Brian from Denver. I know. That one bummed me out.

I was such a huge bosom buddies fan. And listen, the whole cross-dressing thing, I'm so glad that they kind of got over that in the second season, and it really focused more on Kip and Henry's advertising life and their interactions with Don Dixon and Wendy Joe Spurber and all that, but, um... Listen to you. You know every... I love that. I unapologetically love that show.

That's great. And, uh, my favorite episode is their, their visit with Dr. Bob. Oh, Dr. Bob. Oh, I have no memory of that. That's my, uh, Tom Hanks saying, oh, Dr. Bob. Oh, my, this, Wilson. Yeah, I know. Exactly.

Uh, so, uh, yeah, we don't, listen, when we mention a show, I don't think That's the same as mentioning the actor. We never said Peter Scolari's name. We never did, no. So I'm not taking credit on this one. I don't think we deserve this. We could say something like the West Wing, and that's what, like, 135 people on that show as regular cast members.

Yeah, to keep track of. Yeah, what are you going to do, retroactively blame the death of what's his name on us? Don't do that. So, yeah, we're, you know, we have a weird tendency to talk about some old actor and then they die. You've done it. It happened the day after Sean Connery died. It happened the day after, uh, wait, Sean Connery died, right? But Sean Connery did die.

Okay. Yeah, you do remember that. That was not a dream. What am I thinking of? Oh, I was looking up Gene Hackman. I'm not, I'm not, I'm sorry, G. Hackman. I'm not going to say his full name because I don't want to kill him. But I was looking him up, and he's looking real, real old.

And I thought, oh, look at Gene Hackman. I sure miss him in movies. He hasn't been anything since so far. And, uh, welcome to Moosehead. or whatever the hell that was called. I think it was his last movie. But anyway, I don't want him to die.

I want him to live forever. He didn't die, did he? Did he? Did I have that in my head wrong? Gene Hackman. No, he's still alive. I hope so. Did I?

Okay, you're right. He's alive. He's 91, but he's still alive. I just looked on Just Watch, my favorite site for looking up where I can stream something. Can you believe? Busom Buddies is not even listed

on that site. That doesn't seem right. You can't even find it? Weird. Can't even find it. Like, you do a search for the show, and there's every other dang show on there, but you can't find Bousam Buddies. So I have to go, Bissom Buddies, streaming. And then you get all those sites that have 18 paragraphs before you actually get to the answer you want. Because for their SEO, it has to say, Bousin Buddies was an 80s sitcom featuring Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari. Yeah. I'm looking here, too, just via Tom Hanks as the

search and he's not listed it's crazy yeah not available to stream anywhere so i guess i just have to break out my box set and uh yep i don't really i don't really have it you should break that out um i'm watching road to perdition with nick on Halloween day he's coming over for a little dad's son uh movie watch yeah that'll be fun what a great Halloween movie road to perdition yeah road to perdition no when you think Halloween don't you immediately your brain goes right to immediately yes boy uh what you what do you what are you year for road perdition costumes that year was with all the kids dressed up as uh all these tom hanks people as mr perdition yeah mr perdition some kind of some of the road itself oh man it was it was great

that movie it's on paramount plus that that is a good point because it is a paramount show it's on uh oh what is bosom buddies buzz and buddies yeah i'm looking right now what the heck you know because i want to tell people i want to give people a true recommendal today if they've never seen buzz and buddies this is a great for me to give is a show from the 80s. Nope, not on there. I remember seeing it a bunch when I was younger, but not really like hardcore about it. So I have very few memories. I remember the cross dressing and I remember. I remember. I remember. I remember. I remember thinking, I remember post bosom buddies going, boy, Tom Hankscher took off while Peter Scolari didn't so much. Yeah. But he's done some interesting things since. Oh, yeah. Scalari was in that show, uh, evil that, uh, that,

Um, I still very much recommend, um, it's got the guy who played Luke Cage and the Netflix. Oh, recent-ish. Recent-ish, Luke Cage. Um, that's the most recent thing I remember seeing him in. And he's great in that. I mean, obviously, a new heart. Yeah. Um, he was a dad in something. Girls. Uh, Riverdale. Oh, Gilmore Girls? No, just Girls, though, the one with, uh, the HBO one. What's that called Girls, Girls, right? Lena Dunham Girls.

Yeah, wasn't there a girls show called Girls something? Wasn't there a girls show called Girls something? Yeah, he was the dad in there. He was in the very first episode. And I remember thinking, oh, look at that guy. All right, here we go. It's Peter Scolari. Well done.

And now he passed away. Stupid cancer. F. Cancer sucks. Cancer can go take a freaking hike. All right. Have we talked about, speaking of, wasn't there, a guitar, something called Hero Game or whatever? Have we talked even about Pat Robertson? Didn't he just announce his retirement?

Oh, did he? Is he out? I didn't know that. He's out. out. God's calling him. God's calling him out. God tapped him on the shoulder. Yeah. Relief picture was brought in. I guess this happened on October 1st. This isn't brand new news. This is 26 days old, but Pat Robertson retired. Oh, you're right. Here it is. Power Player of the Week. Pat Robertson steps down, but doesn't

step out. That's right. I stepped down, but I didn't step out. Pat Robertson says, God is not a Republican and discusses the trouble with partisan politics. So now you're doing that. Okay, great. Is that say what he's going to do? It says religious radio host. Okay, retiring the 700 Club. Oh.

He's really hoping for that host of Jeopardy gig. He's really gunning for it. And he's 100 years old, dude, this guy, isn't he? That's right. Like, really old. Category is potent potabose. I don't agree with any of those. I don't agree with any of those.

Oh, you got your new Jeopardy host. Somebody called Paramount or whoever it is. I don't know who else is. Yeah, hook him up, hook up, hook the man up. Oh, that's great. All right. Now, now is the time. This is the place.

Yeah, of course, that's, do you miss curse? Do your stuff. Yeah, do it. Oh, yeah. It's like low-hanging fruit, really. That is low-hanging fruit. And it never happens to guys like that. They'll live forever.

I mean, they die eventually, but, you know, we're not going to have any effect on any of this. All right. Let's bring Brian in because that's what we do. Hi, it's it Wednesday already. Is it, though? It is. A day before the Halloween. in Hump Day. Yeah. For some reason, oh, there it is. It's ringing now. Sorry, I was thinking we couldn't get calls again because there was a problem with the Chrome change something. Those A-holes. Every time they change something, it messes me up. But we do have a call around the line. Let's find out who's holding. Hi, who's this? Well, it's been a while, gang. It's Ian. It's Ian. I am sci-fi. What? Oh, my gosh. I have, I feel like we haven't talked to you in months or longer. Ian. I know, right? Yeah. It's been a while, man. How are you doing?

too shabby not too shabby uh hanging in there working from home like uh like most other human beings still are and uh and living the living the living that working at home life yo i want to get some of that yeah no kidding well it's good to have you here uh brian dunnaway of course always good to have you here and brian i bit over here is going to explain what the hell we're doing brian i am i am i'm chuckling myself because uh um that song you know the intro music you play for brian dunaway yeah there's a local car place that uses that same music in the background. And they have this right here.

Yep, that one right there. Okay. And it's like, pay 49 down to make the payment on the window. Is their big, is their big thing that they just repeat ad nauseum in their ads? And it's a guy, it's a guy and a girl, or a guy and a woman in this ad. And during the pandemic, she kind of let her hair grow out really long. Maybe she made a lot of sourdough bread. I don't know.

Sure. If you kind of know what I'm getting at. So the commercials now are a mix of stuff they recorded pre-pandemic. The front and end of the commercial is the old actress. And then the middle stuff are new things that she's recorded. Oh, wow. That would really throw you a little bit. But she's wearing the same outfit.

And so it's like, hey, pay, $49,000. the payment on the window. How about this new jerky? I pay $49 down to make the payment on the window. How do I still fit in this? I love that. Local commercials are still the greatest thing ever man. Still the greatest thing ever. Yes, exactly. Anyway, Ian, that has absolutely nothing to do with anything because it's time to play the Todd Pooley feud.

I've surveyed the Tad Poole on some nerdy topics. Scott and Brian will have to predict the answers that they gave us. It's Scott and Brian's job to see how many of those answers they can guess. Ian, your job is more important than ever because you're going to going to be working with one of these two chuckleheads. If your team wins, you're going to get a prize package. That includes, this is a deluxe prize package. You're going to love this. This is a battle tech set.

So it's battle tech, battle tech flashpoint, and battle tech shadow hawk pack. That's an amazing video game. I've never heard of that last one. They're video game. Well, those are all add-ons. I know the video game. Yeah, they're like a DLC, Flashpoint and Shadow Hawk Pack. I've heard of Shadow.

It's an amazing game. It's turn-based. It's like as close as it can be adhering. to the tabletop stuff it's based on if you like mex that is a badass game sure you know yes so you guys need a topic um this is

funny because this was never before have I seen the tadpool so spectacularly not pay attention to a question that I've asked perfect and they're doing a pretty good job from week to week so they do however

all the answers do reflect the question correctly okay so So that's, and I'm not giving you a hint to say, oh, go off, go off menu or whatever. No, no, it's always on menu for care. And I'll explain as we get into this and we'll talk about it. But, all right, this is funny. 438 people answered because we had over 100 people not answer who put pass. You've put chuckled-housy butts.

Lazy butts is what you guys are. Oh, let me reset the buzzer because Scott buzzed in earlier to test the audio. Oh, my God. No, he was just testing me sure I could hear it. I didn't reset it. Okay. It's his fault. Put your hands on your buzzards.

All right. Your answer to this. What single movie in a franchise is dead to you? Brian. Freddy's dead. That's not going to be on there. It's not going to happen. All right.

Show me. Freddy's dead. Ten answers on the board. Iron Man, Two. Okay? Show me Iron Man 2.

Oh my gosh. Really? Ian, I'll let you answer. Hold on. Ian's muted and I don't know why. There we are. Sorry, Ian, go ahead. Okay.

How about Batman and Robin? Oh, that's better than both of ours. Yeah, that's pretty good. Okay, we'll just keep going around the horn here, Brian, back to you. Okay. Wow, these are really good. So read the question a more time because maybe I'm not getting it, because you're right. I think maybe, yeah, okay, go.

Do it. You're getting it. What single movie in a franchise is dead to you? Right. So it's kind of like, what jump the shark? You watch the entire franchise from start to finish, but maybe you skip over this movie. Hmm. Right.

Oh, my God. These are, and Scott said, well, see, I was going to lean towards the, okay. The Phantom Menace. Show me the fandom menace There you go Answer number two I was trying to think too hard Okay there we go

Okay All right no more circle in the drain Ian that means that you and Brian For what it's worth Are going to be working together On this question Oh boy Yay

Maybe the three of Hugh should all work together Just see we can make it through this But All right so So what do you think You know what? I do have to give Scott a chance, don't I, right? Because we went around the horn. One answer will be that, Scott, you do have the...

Oh, yeah, right. I think I do have to allow that, yes. You don't have to do anything. Because it basically, once you get one right, then you reset the rule, which is the other guy tries to be. That is the fair thing is to give each of you one more chance. All right. So, Ian, you're not working with Brian just yet. You might be working with Scott.

Oh, yeah. What's a chance of that? I don't know. You don't know. all right let's go um oh i wasn't prepared uh i feel like the tadpool would be thinking recent things for some reason if i say anything old although phantom menace is old so um all right well i can't hesitate because that's not how the game works so let's just say ghostbusters two oh okay good weird show me ghostbusters too okay there you go in all right you're working with uh you're working with

Brian down by the way for the record Let's see Batman and Robin You said that was number 16 Ghostbusters 2 is number 23 And I can remember what else You guys said

But I think that was on Some of those other ones were on here as well Oh Iron Man 2 you said And Iron Man 2 That was the one I could remember Yeah I'm glad you said it I was going to say it again Good glad I said it too

Okay so Brian and Ian You have control of the board. You have the floor. Ian, I had an instant regret after I said the Phantom Minus. I was like, ooh, I'm going to miss it. I think I have one.

I'm going to go ahead and say it, Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. That's a good one. That is the full name. Good one. People hated it. Yeah, I hate it. Show me Indiana Jones

of the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. That is the number one answer. I had to shorten it for the box, but yeah. I wonder, I'm starting to... By a landslide, like, it is... Number one is double, what number two? Oh, yeah.

More than double. 78, 36, huh? Yep. All right, you guys are on a roll. Keep going, Ian and Brian. Oh, Ian, you got anything else? Because those are my, like, those are my two on the top of my head ones. What about the Thor Dark World?

That's pretty good. Okay, okay. I'm with it. All right. Yeah. uh show me thor the dark world people did get mad about that one oh they did get mad about it they got mad about it to the to the number um where is it 20 it was on the list it was fairly high on the list but uh not as high as some of these other ones oh now this is going to be tricky

um it's going to be tricky to uh rock a rhyme that there we go all right okay okay I mean, if there are a new Ghostbusters, too, what are the chances that new Ghostbusters is on there? And I don't mean the new, new one, but the lady one. You get the lady. Why do we always call the lady one? Because all those all those are the call because that's the name of it. That's the name of it.

Yeah. It was it full of ladies because that's why I say it that way. That's not, why is that offensive? It's the one with all the ladies of it. It's just like it's not the one with all of men. To just it being a bunch of ladies. No, that's just a big differentiator between the, I don't mean to, like, hop on the, you know, the other side and go, come on scabby, yeah, you know.

I'm just saying, all right, somebody's probably messing with me and did some kind of Mad Max thing in here. Oh, that's a good one. So I'll just say Thunderdome. Oh, interesting. Show me Mad Max, Thunderdome. Damn it. Thunderdome It's on here

Where is it there it is number 39 That kind of makes me feel like You know Scott went with that They're trolling me I know what they would say If they're going to be trolling me And they know that I play this game Hmm

I'm not sure What do you got Ian? You got anything else Before I I'd love to know what you think they're trolling I well Everybody knows I have a problem with Toy Story 3

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. The rest of the world loves Toy Story 3, but I could... I know. That's the thing. I could see them messing with you. I could see it. You know, honestly, I might... Let's either go that or Die Hard 4.

I forget what the actual... I was actually trying to figure out which diehard would be the one that really nailed... I think you're right. For? Yeah. Is that your answer? I agree. Ian, that's where we go.

All right. all right show me live free or die hard but he launches a motorcycle yeah he does yeah he does that's cool that's cool is that from that one is that from four where he launches a motorcycle okay that's not the one where I don't remember they're all bleed together I have no idea yeah they kind of do after that's why I was a little bit of Jackson it's like

whatever you know exactly yeah I mean almost even after the first one for me. It's just like they all bleed right into each other. All right. Oh, geez. This is a good topic because... This is a good topic. It's a surprising that it's such a tough one because...

It is a really tough one. I don't know how I would do. I mean, Phantom Menace was up there. I'll just say Clone Wars, because maybe that got in there, too. The second pretty quick. You want to get the name right really quick? What did I say? The Clone Wars?

What I meant was? was Attack of the Clones. Show me Star Wars. Attack of the Clones. Oh, look at that. Number eight. Oh, that's actually, they got some good,

oh, that sucks. Good points. That's some good points, man. Then that makes me wonder if Revenge of the Sith is on there. Let's do that. It's a good guess. All right, show me Star Wars Revenge of the Sith. Damn it.

very close. Really? Star Wars Revenge of the Sith was number 18. Okay. Ian, I know. Yeah, go ahead. Ian, I know that there's plenty of people who get mad about the Terminator series. And I'm just trying to figure out which one is going to be, if it's going to be the Salvation or if it's going to be the Genesis. Well, which one is three?

What's that? Which one was three? Genesis. Or no, that wasn't Salvation. No, it was Terminator three. Rise of the Machines. Is that right? Oh, Rise of the Machine down. See, that should be your answer.

Those other movies are fine. I haven't seen Genesis, but I like... I think Scott's going to help us out here. I think we should go Terminator 3. I think Terminator 3 is a good choice, although before we lock it in, if we were to stick with Star Wars, it would probably either be Rise of Skywalker or, or depending on the person, the last Jedi. So some really recent hate, I got you.

Okay, okay. You know, there's probably a greater chance of that? What do you think? I'd rather say rise. Yeah, I'd rather say rise. All right. We're going to lock in a rise, please, Mr. Ibbett. Show me Star Wars, the rise of Skywalker.

Oh. Number three on the list. Oh, my God, we did too good. Yeah. You did too late. Exactly. You get some points, just not a lot of them, but you get some points. And you still have control of the board.

I still think we should go with that Terminator 3. What do you think? We'll go over our backup. Yeah. All right. Going with our backup. Terminator 3. Rise of those machines.

Made people angry. Yeah. Did it? All right. Show me Terminator 3. Oh. The lady in the red. Come on.

Cristiano Loken. Yeah, I know. I have a real chance here, right? I have a chance. Well, you've kind of won. Oh, have I won? And that was your third strike. So, they're third strike.

So technically, sorry, Ian. But we'll play this out. Let's see how many, you've got one more strikes. So your first wrong answer puts you out. That's crazy. Okay. It's crazy. Oh, geez.

Highlander 2. Okay. Show me Highlander 2, the quickening. It's on there. Number four. Are you? kidding me people are you kidding me tadpool

dude highlander's bad that second highlander is really bad it's a horrible movie there should have been only one yeah um okay uh troll two troll two

you're just troll two damn it that's game yeah uh troll two didn't even make the list surprisingly um let's go through the

franchise didn't start there for most people in till troll two that's true Goblin one. Yeah, goblin. All right. Show me number five. Matrix revolutions. Oh, duh.

You pick revolutions? You think revolutions was the problem? Yes. The second one's better than, the third one's terrible. We're about to find out firsthand. It was such a, it's like a frog being boiled.

I mean, it wasn't like, was it like, oh my God, they really hit a hiccup here. It was more like, slowly we're getting burned to death. Let's jump ahead

then to number seven. The Matrix Reloaded There you go Both Matrix sequels End up on this list Okay Show me number six Fast and Furious

Which I believe is the fourth one What? Fast and the Furious four Called Fast and Furious. Four is the I think two's the week Personally but There were a lot of people

Who said two And But that's when we got Luda Yeah But that doesn't save your bad film I'm glad he hung around Agree to disagree Yeah

All right I should have gone with this one, Brian and Ian. Show me number nine. Oh, Genesis is up there. The Last Jedi. Oh, the Last Jedi. That would have sealed the points in frontiers. We would have killed it.

Yeah. You would have had it. And then finally, the franchise that never even came up on the list, but boy, it had a lot of entries in the lower half. Star Trek 5, the Final Frontier. Oh, that is a bad movie. It's real bad movie. I was going to say Star Trek, the motion picture, but I was like, we haven't ever listed. A couple people said that, too.

Now, let me talk about the tadpool. Their inability to follow directions, because all of these are, in fact, single movies in a franchise. I had to throw out a lot of answers that were just the name of the franchise. Harry Potter. The Hobbit. Well, all right. Do you mean the first Hobbit movie, or do you mean? There was only one Hobbit movie.

I agree with the Tablet. So they read, but yeah, but they read, what they read was, worst franchise and not worst film within the franchise. Right, exactly. Or Terminator. And nobody doesn't like the first Terminator, so I know that they didn't mean, well, the first Terminator was the one that is dead to me.

No one says that. Yeah. Star Wars was listed. It's like, well, okay, which Star Wars? Come on, people. Because there's plenty of beloved Star Wars. Exactly. Exactly. Wow. So let me go through the rest of this list because number 11 is Mad Max Fury Road. Oh, geez. Stop.

Liars. Godfather Part 3 Transformers and I left it in there even though I didn't know if they meant the first Transformers movie or where they kill Optimus Prime That could be any of them That's true

It could be any of them And so that's why I was like If I would have made it into the top 10 I would have probably taken it out Because it's unclear Oh Spider-Man 3 in there dude Spider-Man 3's got to be on that list Yeah it's in here

X-Men the last stand is higher though Die Hard 5 A Good Day to Die Hard is considered to be the worst of the die-hards. Twilight, I don't know. The Force Awakens, too fast, too furious. Avengers Age of Ultron.

Indiana Jones is the Temple of Doom. Three people don't like that one, and I think you're all wrong. You're all wrong. It's the weakest of the initial trilogy, but it's still not so bad it should be dead to you. I love to. I'm not going to cast any stones.

Jurassic Park 3. somebody just put Mission Impossible, I don't know with that. Superman 4, the Quest for Peace. Yeah, it's really bad. Richard Pryor, right? No, three is... Dark Phoenix. Alien 3, people don't like.

Yeah. Fantastic 4, I left it in because, yeah, really pick any of them. Every time it starts, it's like, nope. Every time they're doing you and... Some Harry Potter hate. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Really? Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

and Harry Potter and the Order of the Order of... the Phoenix, all three of those had people's votes. I was curious about the Goblet of Fire, because I know that made some people annoyed. Well, it's just they changed a lot from the book, and the book is amazing. Four is maybe my favorite book, but the movie really truncated. But that's what movies do. It was fine.

I'm not saying what was good or bad. I'm just saying I understand that there's hate for it. Yeah. Pirates of Caribbean, Dead Men Tell No Tales, Shrek the Third, Spider-Man 3 is right there, Star Trek Nemesis. um oh that is some horrid shit right there that's a good movie that was one person wasn't it yeah who was that i know those two people on nemesis who was this give me names i don't know i don't know nothing wrong with nemesis you guys are wrong the mccu incredible hulk not the eric bana but the um

oh really when he's down in when he's down to mexico yeah yep uh somebody put 50 shades of gray i don't know what they're doing alien resurrection uh austin powers and gold member yeah Back to the Future 2 Also getting some hate Anyway, there you go They're right about Back to the Future 2 It's not as good as the other two

I don't like to Yeah, there's a lot in this list Dumb and dumber to Evil Dead, The Evil Dead remake F9 Yeah This goes to show you

Taste is taste man It is, it is exactly Yeah The Green Lantern I don't think is Officially part of the DCU So you can't really call it A franchise film

Still bad movie But not a franchise It still deserves hate We're going to allow it since we hate it so much, right? Ian, you did a bang-up job of attempting. I'm sorry, you'd. It's all right, Donnelly. Sometimes it happens.

Although, quick aside, I remember when it was a rainy day in my elementary school, and they put on back to the future part two, not realizing that there were curses in it. And then the minute that they first got that at first shit, immediately they shut it off. They're like, okay, something else. wow yeah that's some teachers not doing their homework right there but now all those people are in like their 70s what do they know they didn't know anything those lamers they didn't know well done you're always welcome to try again and it's always good to hear from me we'll see you next time there Ian Brian well done you uh you you helped uh not win so good job I helped not win

I it's always hard for me because you know generally you come into a game and you want to just you want to get the best answers it's like I'm going to get the best dagum answered. Then about halfway through, I always remember, oh, yeah, crap. I need to be getting some borderline answers in here. Yeah, that's right. They're hard. It's hard to do. They're hard. So, uh, the, the big point I wanted to make, though, is that our Sacktober for Film Sack is ending this coming weekend, uh, Saturday, the 30th. And, uh, the episode we're recording tonight is for that. We're going to be watching Freddie versus Jason. And, uh, it is going to win. It is something that movie. I have a lot to say. Uh, not all

Negative, funny enough, but plenty of negative. Yeah. I wouldn't assume you would say all negative. Why would I assume that? Whatever we get a little message in our film sack chat that says, You might be surprised by my take. Right. I'm essentially not surprised when he does.

I do that all the time. I don't know why I say that stuff all the time. I guess it surprised me. This movie has some moments that I think are genuinely good. But for the most part, it's kind of a poo stain. Anyway, that's this weekend. I'm going to try to convince you otherwise. Tune in this week for FilmSack when I try my best.

Do your best. That's all you can ask. It's like this game today. Just do your best, Brian. It's all we can ask of you. All right. Kiss our butts. We'll see you later.

All right. He's out. Wow. Well, you know, sometimes you've got to lay down the lock. Kiss our butts. Well done. That was fun. Let's take a break.

We've got Tom right around the corner. when we come back Tom Merritt will be here and recommendals this might be a very special recommendals oh yeah just a little hint there everybody just a little hinty as is Gordon jump going to appear as the as the bicycle shop man yeah which is insane because he's dead so how do you even get that guy to come back from the dead but yeah he'll he's going to help he's going to help young not Albert what was his name what was the character oh Arnold Arnold yes He's going to help young Arnold with his bike needs.

But before we do, Brian will play a song that will separate us from that. So Brian, what's on here? Sure. Let's go to Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia, or maybe Melbourne, Florida. I don't know. Probably Melbourne, Australia, though. For a trio that goes by the name Dorsal Fins. They are back after an extended stay in the musical wilderness. And they've got a brand new single and a video to go along with it for a song called Sugar.

It's been five years since the last thing that they released. and it's great. It's really great. It's a sweet little pop song. Oh, no pen intended there. Here's the brand new single from Dorsal Fin's, Sugar. Three, two, one. Sugar, instantly crowd to fight if you please. Sugar, I'm terrible, but that's just what I need.

Alexa, tell me the news today, give me sign. sign that I'm still okay I wake up when I want to rush You got the sweet things I can't give up What's my scene, not a status scene If I fit then tell me where I can be Close enough, we're still okay

Sweet enough without the cream Keeping up with all the ways in which I don't need any way Feeling like I have to ghost From your sweet hands when they are so Sugar Instantly gratify if you please Sugar I'm terrible, but that's just what I need.

I can tell you all my secrets, how I got it's so delicious. Baby, my mind is the weekend. Put me in the deep end. Sugar, instantly gratify if you please. Sugar. I'm terrible but that's just what I need. How mild? How mild can a cigarette be? More camels and see.

Thor's my hero. Hey, Burtum, this is the morning stream. Bye-bye. All right, we've returned. That music once again. Sure. That music is the band Dorsal Fins and their brand new single, Sugar. Sugar.

Not like watermelon sugar, like that... Watermelon sugar, hi, watermelon sugar. And I like that he just explained. what it means and it's dirty. It's very dirty. I was surprised by that. I couldn't believe it. All right. Well, neither here nor there, because I'm playing this. With the computer, as with any tool, the concept and direction must come from the man. That man is Tom Merritt, and he joins us like he does each and every Wednesday to discuss the daily tech goings on in the world before the Daily Tech news show later today. Tom Merritt,

welcome back to the show. Well, thank you for having me back, Scott and Brian. It's good to have you. Well, thank you for being back. Yes. It's a very formal affair. We appreciate you following the protocol and being here like you said you would. I have no recollection of that senator. All right. Well, then I'll allow it. Hey, it's good to have you back. It's been a week for creatives, man. It's all about Adobe the last couple of days, today included. They're still going. Adobe Max conference is happening right now. I assume that's a lot of what's happening in tech. But maybe there's other things Tom wants to talk about this morning. What do you got? It is. It is. And Scott has kindly agreed to kind of run over some of the bestest Adobe announcements during Daily Tech News show today. But the hits do keep on coming. Yesterday, they announced Adobe Photoshop online. It's a limited version. It's not like you get the full Photoshop, but it's kind of meant to make it easier to share your Photoshop projects without having to export them so everybody can collaborate with them. You can do some minimal editing and stuff on that. And then there's also create as NFT coming to Photoshop, the full Photoshop, where you can add that promised creation ID to an Adobe Photoshop export file. Like a little watermark. Yeah, it's a digital watermark. And Adobe's going to work with various marketplaces like OpenC and places like that to honor that so that you can be sure that when you buy an NFT, it has the,

official watermark of Scott Johnson say. Yeah. There's probably a tendency for some to hear that and immediately want to criticize it because NFTs are very controversial right now. And I am not even all that up on the current state of the NFT world. However, I think it makes perfect sense for the company who has the largest graphics editing creation software on the planet to include something like this because, well, A, it's Adobe, and B, it's a, this is, this is part of what I like about the blockchain and what I like about NFTs is the accuracy of it.

Forget about all the scams that happen. Forget all that for a minute. Like the actual, like, this makes this piece of art actually legit. And now that's a built-in tool and function of the, of the software we're all using to make this stuff anyway, is right and good. That's, that's exactly what probably should happen. I'm sure other packages will follow suit. I suspect a fin, photo will do it and you know others will get on board it's easy to feel fatigued by this nfc stuff but it makes sense to me so yeah why wouldn't they um yeah it's called content credentials and the other thing about it uh to keep in mind is they're not just using it for nfts if if you roll your eyes and you you start kicking yourself when you hear the word nfti because you're so tired of it uh it's also going to be used for for things like making uh a record of where edits were made or or just generally

authenticating that you know this is from who it is uh stock images is another way this could be used so that your stock image is tagged with your authorship on it so there's a lot more to it than than just the the nfti game if that's not your cup of tea or coffee sure what i do like jumping back to the web version of photoshop one of the things i do like about this is that from a client from somebody's working with clients on stuff regularly and having to send stuff back and forth this kind of takes out one more step i can share a link to the project in photoshop and then they can even like mark it up they can't change my artwork or or the layers that i don't want them to change but they can say hey can we move this text and draw a little arrow and point it here and

they could probably even see me working on it yeah you can even let them do a few minor changes if they're like this is kind of what i'm thinking let's not get crazy tom come up now it's web version and then but what I'm saying is if they're like I you know I was wondering if we change the sky orange this is you know can you make that look right or whatever yeah yeah exactly no that would be that would be cool actually they're also bringing um illustrator to a similar web based yeah it isn't isn't just photoshop it's also illustrator yeah the other good news is for for mac folks um more of their apps are getting the silicon's em one and beyond treatment so that's nice uh speaking of i uh i uh i got my

my M1 Max powered Mac Pro. Look, you can tell by the ports. Yeah, look at that, you can plug shit in there. You can also tell by how chunky it is compared to my old one. The steam rising from it from how speedy and powerful it is. Yeah, yeah, steam cooled. It's also hot. He got it from fell off the back of a truck.

Yeah, that's a whole different thing. That's a whole different thing. It's heavy. Is it? Yeah, it's a 16 inch too. I was going to ask you if that's the 16. It looks like it's by both After Effects and Indesign for those wondering which apps I was talking about that are getting the silicon support right away. Oh, great.

The stuff I use. Today at Adobe Max is the nifty cool coming soon. So previously at Adobe Max, they talked about content credentials. And this is the year they're like, now it's coming. It's going to be in here by the end of the month. So they're showing off things like, what are they calling this? live living photos

where you can automatically use the Adobe Sensei AI to add animation between any two pictures. Now granted, if you've got a picture

of a dog and then a picture of a pickup truck, the animation is going to look real weird. But it becomes useful if you've got two similar pictures

like a person sitting down and then standing up. It could actually animate that person going from the chair to standing up. Oh, interesting.

I'm curious what the effect could be for some art stuff like you know creating some animation some weird animation that way anyway it's cool the one they're showing is like a family sitting on a blanket

and and the kid is like rocking back and forth that kind of stuff oh god that's nightmare fuel right there I decide not front and back okay all right good makes it a little less creepy yeah it's going to be on the cover of a

Harry Potter newspaper before too long the thing absolutely the thing about about Adobe bringing out all these services and features, and really the Max Conference in general is just another way to sort of beef up their offering for Creative Cloud, which I would argue right now, the big version of Creative Cloud is still ridiculously expensive and doesn't really give you too many benefits over other competing stuff. But when I start hearing about how they're going to integrate AI into some of this stuff

and how they're going to like create collaboration tools via the web, these are things that are value, you know, these are value ads like truly value ads. I think it's really good for them to be having. Another one is called strike a pose. Yeah. Where you, let's say you have, and here's the example they give is somebody standing like this with their left hand up in the air pointing. Yeah.

And then you have another picture of an entirely different person that's just standing with their arms to their sides. You can say, turn that first picture into that pose. And then you'll get a picture of the person who was pointing in the air with their arms at their sides. Ah. Oh, okay. Will it, um, will it let your body groove to the music? I think that's on the road map, but I don't know if that's in the feature release for this. Brian, it automatically put big cones on your chest.

Do you get down with that? That's, it was open, yes. It can turn you around, though. It could like take someone who's facing and be like, yeah, I want to see the reverse. How does it know, does my butt look big in this Photoshop? That's how you know it's AI. It's like, that's not my butt. Does this AI make my butt look big?

I am much trimmer than this. AI is making me like. I was a little bummed to not see Premiere on the M1 list, but maybe it already is, and that's why it's not here. So I should do my homework on that before today. But anyway, big stuff and more today. So if you're interested in that side of tech, which is, you know, the creator side of things like I am, and this might be very interesting to you. We're going to talk a bunch more today. July 2021, Premier Pro went native M1. That would have been about the time I stopped paying for full CC

yeah and started using what did I use instead I use oh DaVinci Resolve instead for my video stuff and it's been great so anyway there you have it Tom anything else going on you want to mention yeah tune in to find out not only what Scott thinks about all these Adobe

announcements but whether my actual my actual M1 is what I'm running the show off of oh wow I think it's about ready. I've migrated all the data over and everything. So what you're saying is Scott's going to have a notch today. Yeah, I know a notch to look at it through. You know what? I have not noticed the notch. Now, I haven't been running it for everything. Yeah. But I totally forgot about

the notch. It just, it's, I got notch blind. You got not blind. I'm curious about that. Because if it was super bad, they probably would never have done it. Right. So it must be okay to have that up there. You're going to have to tell us. I've already seen the reports of like certain menus breaking and going under the notch and hiding items and stuff. There's got to be Mac apps out there that just have so many menus that just need to be consolidated, but they probably have like 12 menus across for all of their different commands and stuff. No, exactly. So I'm not. We'll find them. We'll find them. Yeah, yeah. We'll find those people. They're there somewhere. I keep wishing there was a way to hide the notch, but it's not like the

launch bar it's not software it's a little hardware things to hide the notch would be to somehow tweak the screen so that it goes below and you get a big bezel oh yeah yeah you know looking at it Photoshop has 13 menu items have you I wonder if that's too much for the notch oh it probably just it just slides the last few over and yeah yeah I'll have to uh download Photoshop and then take a look go nuts with it let us know you're going to live with it Tom live with that notebook. I will. Hint, hint. All right. Well, excellent. I'm looking forward to that. In that discussion, and of course, whatever else may come up today.

That's 2.30 Mountain Time, the daily tech news show. Tom Merritt, anything. Oh, anything, any personal stuff going on? Like books or, you know, I don't want to give you a chance to... Personal, Scott. Do you have anything personal you want to tell us? But if you get free Tom newsletter.com, then you will find out. Last week, I started off the newsletter by telling you about me going out to dinner with actual people in the actual world and how weird that seemed, for example. But I also give you substantive things that are of interest to you as well. So if you want both, freetown newsletter.com. Very, very nice.

Tom Merritt, everybody. Ace Detect on Twitter. We'll see you next time. Bye. All right. Hey, Brian, I got to share something with you. Okay. This is a visual.

So I apologize to people at home. The chat room will get to see it, though. Let's see. He said he was, you know, well, those look like they've been augmented. Are those real? Oh, these don't, no, these are not my real boobs. Are those real? And they're spectacular? These are my fake boobs.

I found this video, and I made a giff out of it. And I'm going to share it with you now. Chabram can see it. There we go. It is a recent video, and it's maybe the most foul thing I've ever seen in my life. Oh, no. It's a guy at that... Oh, I'm looking at it right now, and I can tell what it is.

That's gum, isn't it? Oh! So there's this wall in Seattle that is famous for... This is where everyone... he goes and sticks their gum right my son has got i got a picture of nick in front of it for example for a few years ago anyway you're supposed to put your gum on there and then leave it it's a big colorful mural you know whatever you could call it art yeah yeah but this guy on camera critical littering is what it is yeah it is he licks up the side of all of this gum which is like making out

with like 20 people and then bites one of the gum pieces off and choose it oh yeah and that's the short version of the video it's gross oh i don't i don't want to see the long version How do I get this out of my discord? I'm going to delete it. Can you delete it? I'm going to delete it. It's gone. It's really foul.

It's awful. Yeah, it's extremely foul. I mean, I'm assuming that if gum is out there for a long time, any bacterian viruses on it will be dead, although there's probably some in the inside. I don't know. Plus, they're fresh, right? Well, no, no. I mean, there's got to be some fresh ones, right? Like, because people are there and sticking them on there.

And doing that during COVID, not that. You know, I don't know if you can get it to gum. Now, the whole thing, the whole thing feels like a TikTok challenge that I don't want to be part of. It's bad. Let's hope it doesn't turn into that. All right, Nicole Spaggnolo heading in here with all speed. Look at us. Here we go.

We're going to play this whole. Oh, she hung up on us. That was weird. Oh, well, geez. Thanks a lot, Nicole. There she is. I see her coming in. Thanks a lot.

Let me play this thing. Now, Nicole, my sweet Nicole, Now, Nicole have to tell us whether this is a very special episode of Recommendals or not, because we're not entirely sure. Yeah, I think it is. I don't know 100%. I did. And by special, we mean, this might be her last recommendals,

at least in an official sort of weekly way. Like, in the future, I could see a summer where school's off and you're like, hey, I saw something cool. I'm coming on Wednesday. Yeah, that's true. I do get summer's off. So, yes, I did accept a position at my son's school to teach STEM and 3D printing and coding and all kinds of cool stuff and to help out the other teachers. So since I have my bachelor's, I have a three-year sub license so I can do subbing and then all the other stuff.

You know what you could do is teach podcasting to the kids at about 10, 15. every Wednesday. So we do have a broadcasting club where we're teaching them video. And I have told the other teachers, I said if we want to teach them podcasting, I can help with that as well. Well, if it ever happens on a Wednesday at 10.15, you just let us know.

Exactly. So this might be my last recommendal for quite a... Some of you listening are like, yes. No. Nobody listening is saying that. No one's saying, yeah. Yes, everyone loves you. But everybody in the chat room is just saying they're super happy for you.

And they're going to be, they're sad to potentially lose you here, but they're happy that you're going to do this because, you know, you've got the ability now to infect a whole group of new minds and ears and eyes. It's so cool to watch. You can actually see it on their face when they have their little aha moments. And I'm just, I love, I love that. So, yeah, I'm really, really excited. No, no putting them to work like saying, all right, everybody, we're going to teach you out to sand all these two by fours.

So I need, I need 12 of these. Yeah. I thought we were doing 3D printing. Well, we're starting with wood like the old chair in half an hour. Yeah, exactly. Do some wood whispering. Well, all right, I'm stoked for you. I think it sounds like a blast.

You mentioned the summers. totally forgot. I would have summers off. Yeah. Yeah. And summer's a big movie. May. Yeah. May sometime. Yeah. One way or the other. And we'll continue. So chat room just and those at home. Our plan is we'll continue to do Wednesday recommendals with Brian and I and leave that chair open for Nicole whenever she wants it, basically. So it's always there. All right. Well, excellent.

How long we've been doing this segment? 2013? Yeah, you were early. No, was it 2013? 12 maybe? I don't remember. Maybe 2012. I think you were very early on. When did you start? When did you start?

January 2011? Yeah, January 2011. It was like shortly after you guys started. I was like, hey, could I come on into a, because I was doing movie delicious. Yeah, I remember that. And I was like, that sounds perfect. And I, and you've been here ever since, but now I've lost track. You signed a contract for 20 years.

And you know what? It must have been. It must have been that year. We probably did it 2011, just a few months into the show, because 2020. 12 nerdtacular, you were on the TMS panel. Right. Oh, right. Yeah.

Yeah. So you were definitely there. You were one of the earliest. Ten years. Wow. Weird. Weird. Weird. You've been doing this longer than most, let's see, longer than Bill.

Longer than Justin. Longer than, not as long as Wendy. Wendy's the only one that's done it longer than anybody else. But yeah, you and you and my sister are the OGs. Well done. The ladies, the ladies win. The ladies of late. All right.

Well, let's get to this week's recommendals and try not to be sad about Nicole's potentially final one here, at least tell us. I'm still on Twitter. I'm still, you know. And in fact, I will be posting stuff that I enjoy from my Twitter account. So if you really want to engage. Okay, good. I'm not going anywhere. I'm still around.

Let's please as well. And I'll watch the occasional cute animated thing to make sure that you're still represented here. I'm going to be texting you guys. Hey, watch this. Watch this. Fine with me. That'd be great. What we need, though, I mean, you still need to record us some mispronunciations of

celebrity names. Oh, yeah. How are we going to do that? We can't. We almost need. Maybe somebody out there could put a bunch of those together and put like in the arms of the angels that song. Maybe.

Or maybe. You know what? Send me a list of names and I'll do a blind read. There we go. Oh, I love it. I love it. Here, Nicole, we'll do one of you right now. Shedwick.

Shedwick. Shera Shedwick. Yeah. How about this one? Hold on. Bombadook. The Bumabadook. Remember the Bumbo duke?

I have a lot of these already. That's funny. Brian, you want to have a last night trivia because he's a gay icon. Yeah, there you go. Bambuke. Hey, Brian, do, why don't you tell us a little about this clip you've got me lined up here for? I will do exactly that. So today is kind of a.

mechemental. You know, you go in there with low expectations, and I think you'll be, you'll enjoy it. Of the recent ones, over the recent things that are like this, I feel like this is the best one, which doesn't, which is low bar. All right, this is a film, a 2021, brand new film. Nice. Let's play it. Here we go. I've thought about this a long time. I want to talk retirement. I just watched her. What happened in Osaka shouldn't have.

It was wrong. Nobody knew she'd be there. We had one rule, B. One simple rule, no kids. I know. Look, I promise I'd finish the job when I will. And then I'm out. I want a life be.

you know I never had one a real regular life what does that mean I mean family kids picket fence dogs suburbs something like that

two trips to Walmart you'll be back so I saw I just saw her in last week's recommendal the the prequel for the thing She was the main person in that.

She's great. Yeah, Mary Elizabeth Winstead. I love her and unapologically love her. Of course, the other voice you're hearing there is Woody Harrelson. This is a brand new Netflix film 2021 action thriller called Kate. Noir Penguin in the chat room got this. Is she like a... She's like John Wick.

Like a hot Hannah or something. She's John Wick, McLean. It's all that stuff. Collateral bride. Salt. She likes salt. She's like salt. Atomic salt.

Atomic salt. I think of all those movies. Exactly. Eva, too. Yeah. Here's the twist, though. And you might remember an old film, Dennis Quaid film called D-O-A, where Dennis Quaid gets poisoned and he's got 24 hours to find out who poisoned him. Oh, yeah, yeah.

This has a similar twist. She gets poisoned. And she has about a day to live, and she's got to find her killer and take him out. and all that stuff. She's a, she's a, professional hit person. A hit person. What do you call that? You call it hitman if it's a dude, but what do you call? A hit woman.

A hit woman, I guess. I don't know. A hit person. Sure. Sure. Hit woman. Anyways, she kind of messes, tangles with the rung people, and gets poison, then has to spend the rest of time being badass, which she is really good at. She's really good at being badass. Her handler is Woody Harrelson. And she's got kind of a sidekick, an unwilling sidekick named the actresses Miko Martineau, who I don't think I've seen in anything else.

The whole thing takes place in Japan. And as you hear in that clip, it's rainy, which kind of gives it a little bit of a Blade Runner feel. A little kind of modern. Like Tokyo Streets, rain and the neon. Tokyo Streets, a lot of neon, a lot of tech, a lot of stuff like that, and, uh, and some really good fighting. Um, Mary Elizabeth Winstead is clearly the best thing. She, she over, she outacts everybody else in the film.

She's so good in this. And, um, kind of playing the, the, uh, her poisoning and also the, you know, the, the stuff that she's going through as, uh, a conflicted, uh, hit person. Hit woman. Hit chick. Pops and recline suggested hit chick. Hit chick. Okay. Well done pops in recline. Anyway, it's, you know what? It's not bad. It's got middling reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, although almost every review, bad review says it's, it's, you know, Mary's Elizabeth Winst, there we go, I'm doing it for you, Nicole.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead is the best thing about the film is what a lot of these reviews, the bad reviews. say um it's adequate and i think it's better than the one that was kate beck and seal just came out with i mean it's to say it's adequate sells it kind of short yeah put it on the box uh adequamentals so wait a minute what was the other one that there's a milkshake custard thing or what was that called something milkshake it was a bunch of uh women that were super assassiny and like john wiki what was that um somebody said milkshake in the chat room yeah some kind of milkshake was it just milkshake gunpowder milkshshed That's it.

Gunpowder milkshake. Seems like a lot of these. Similar kind of thing. Jolt was the one with Kate Beckinsale. It was like, eh. Atomic blonde was pretty good. This is right in that same level. So if you enjoy those.

This has a nice twist to it. And the whole Yakuza involvement and Woody Harrelson's really good in this. Anyway, if you enjoy that kind of thing, this is a good one. And sadly, because we had people over for the whole weekend. This is the only thing I watched, except for Only Birders in the Building, which I

will second Nicole's recommendal on that. It is great. It is so much fun. Well, you also watched it, but, yeah. Was it again? Only murders in the building? Yeah. Oh, I didn't recommend that. Oh, does a Scott Recommmental? No, I haven't seen that yet. I don't know who recommended that one. Oh, well, shit, all right. I'm going to recommend

only murders in the building starring Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Salina Gomez. Wait, someone, who was a woman? Who was? somebody did somebody went all somebody talked about it on this show or was it on film sack Randy talking about

it somebody tweeted us about it I think yeah but there was like we had full podcast discussion about this we did I totally remember but I guess it wasn't part of recommendals all right well Guacamars Guacamars says it was film sack anyway

only murders in the building so Kate is good only murders in the building is great and if you haven't seen that then you need to watch that yeah it's so good you don't even need a clip for it it's so good between between the two go only murders in the building. There's a great podcasting connection with only

murders in the building. Well, I'm sorry, we changed some of the auto mod settings and I just noticed in the chat room that it doesn't like the term SAC from Film Sack. All right. So now the new title of that show is Film Scroat. Yeah. No kidding.

We're going through and fixing it as it happened so I-Corps quickly added it. So now you guys are fine to say SAC. It won't matter. All right. What are we? Okay, so I'm going to play a clip here. This is a thing that I'm only two episodes in on, but it's already kind of my jam, and it's someone else out there is going to hear this and go, oh, yeah, Scott and I have similar documentary enjoyment. So here's a documentary. It's an HBO Max original. I just started it. I'm two episodes in. Can't wait to finish it. Here's my thing. If you've tried to lose weight with a low, fat, high protein, even liquid diets, all to no avail. There are a number of books that suggest you appeal to a higher power.

looks like the divine diet body by god there's even what would jesus eat just to name a few okay so that's actually that's actually a news thing right that's in the documentary show yeah clip within the show uh the show is called the way down god greed and the cult of gwen shamblin oh i saw the poster for this on whatever streaming service and she's got massive hair her hair okay brian i'm glad you brought this Is that real? I mean, is that, I thought it looked like

it was just doctored up for the poster. It's real. Well, I don't know if it's real hair, but it's her, it's her wearing whatever she's wearing or growing or whatever,

however the hell she gets out. Really? Okay. I'll put one of these. This one I'm going to put in our discord. You'll get a real. Oh, my God. These images of her.

Yeah. It's something. I can't believe these are real. hilarious. This is an actually, that's actually, that's, I know,

right? That's a shot from her, that's a shot from her actual deposition. I think she has at least five bumpets in there. I think she's got Kate plus eight in that hair. Nice. That's a deep cut. I like that.

It's a deep cut. So it's crazy. And what's great about this doc so far is it starts way back when she was getting her stuff going in the late 70s, early 80s when she was writing these books. And she was equating spirituality with weight loss. And it's all very weird. But in the beginning, it was pretty innocent. and her hair was normal, just kind of a normal hairdo for the time. As time went on, and it goes, this documentary takes us all the way to 2020,

that hair just gets bigger and bigger every year. Every single year, by the end, it is a mountain of hair. And I don't understand it. I know why. Why? Because you look at her hair and not her butt. Is that why? Well, I definitely look at her hair a lot.

Amazing weight loss. Yeah, apparently. that isn't what she looks like. Yeah, no kidding. Look how skinny I am. I can't. I can only see your head. I can't take my eyes off your hair.

Yeah, it's a weird. That part is weird because they never address it. They never talk about it. And why would they? It's just hair, whatever. But no one talks about it in the documentary except me and my head. I'm going, dude, talk about the hair. Why is no one mentioning his hair?

But anyway, the whole concept is this lady, Gwen Shamblin, very charismatic, starts this whole movement of weight loss and God and how if you lose weight, this and that. And she started to say some kind of controversial stuff. There's an interview where she said, here's a good example. Everybody who was in the Nazi death camps, they were, they had no food for really long periods of time. And guess what? They lost a lot of weight. Oh, God.

And the guy, and she says this with the most like straight face. And this interviewer goes, I'm sorry, are you comparing, are you comparing forced starvation on a population of people to spiritual weight loss? You know, like he was, the guy couldn't believe she was saying this. And she couldn't believe he was asking. She was like, well, yeah, of course I am. Think about it. They were all there because of a religion, meaning they were Jewish. That was her take.

And she's like, and they're all, you know, not eating. and the result is they lost a lot of weight. There are some principles to learn from there. I'm like, you're a psycho, dude. Anyway, she never could, she never could quite understand why that was so horrible. But, uh,

so she had a cult, basically. Oh, yeah. This thing's a major cult. Yeah, this is why it's a documentary. So she has this like cult-like thing going. Most mainstream Christianity, uh, who were buying her books and doing her tapes and stuff,

cut ties with her when some of this started happening. They're like, nope, gone too far she also started to there's some fundamental like evangelicals like uh the trinity's everything for evangelicals it's all about the trinity right and she was like there's no trinity it's all just god and forget about jesus forget about holy spirit all this other stuff we're cutting all that out we're just going to focus on this and the weight loss and it was always about this weight loss then there's this whole sub story of this weird grifter dude that comes in and sweeps her up and gets married to her while she quietly divorces the guy that she never talked about or showed anybody

her kids and how effed up they were I mean it's really one of these documentaries where everyone's just a little nuts and it's all clearly for the money and the power and the influence and she made a ton of money doing this it all ends a little tragically and I won't spoil it why

in 2020 but it's a I'm just going to go to Wikipedia it's fascinating like I find this kind of stuff totally fascinating to me and partially because I just see people going here's all my money and I and when people do that I go are really really like all your money for that like just what are you what are you even doing and it just it gets weirder and weir and I'm only

two episodes in I think it's like a total of like four or five or something um but it's if you're into that kind of doc then this is one of those I would recommend it again it is called the way down and then subtitled god greed and the Gwen and the cult of Gwen shamp That's the name. Did you ever watch the Lula Row documentary I told you about? It is on my cue because it sounds like it's a lot like that. Yes. Lula Rich.

I actually and I've got that on our list as well. From a business angle, you know, like these scammers look for every angle they possibly can to manipulate people. Well, I didn't know there was a Utah connection with those people when you gave the recommendal. I had no idea because we're famous for being weighing. into those MLM crap things. It's not a thing I'm proud of here in Utah.

It's not a good theme. Yeah. And it's really, people are suckers for it here. And I don't know why, but I mean, I even have family, and they're in Arizona,

but I have family. They're super into that. And they've done studies. It doesn't, it doesn't necessarily, they can't figure out, because it's all people. It's not,

it's educated people. It's uneducated people. It's rich people. It's poor people. Like, there's really no common threat. thread among people that get taken taken that's true although in the case of this Gwen Shamblin thing it's all middle class to upper class 100% white people like there's no there is this

one has a very classist slash you know I don't know how to describe it there they're definitely a type in that one but in the case of the one you're describing and most of those MLMs like victims they're everywhere, rich, poor, black white. Well, and cults in general, too. Yeah. You know. That's the other thing is this thing has like, this has like cult specialists that are, that are talking throughout the whole thing, just sort of explaining how this stuff

works and how people get sucked into things and what the difference, like cult by its definition is a group of people. It's actually kind of benign. It's a group of people who have a common system of either beliefs or focus or whatever. That's enough to make you a cult. So if you guys, you know, bronies, technically by definition, are a cult. It doesn't mean they're bad. it just means they're a cult.

Then you, but then there's this other category of like destructive cults or, what's the word you said? But the ones that are abusive or, you know, the ones that take your money, ruin people's lives, kill people, you know, send lawyers to threaten people, that kind of stuff. Tom said what I was thinking, so the tadpole is a cult. Kind of, yeah, but in a good way, right? They're a good, they're not, they're not an abusive cult, not with these new rules or not. All right. Nicole, let's drive it over to you for your final of the year 2021. I have two.

Oh, good. All right. So I'm going to recommend an old movie because I think we have a few listeners that maybe have never seen it. It's from 1986. Oh, an old movie. It's on Netflix right now. One of my favorite quotable movies, probably of all time. all right all right i'm going to give you the clip and if i can find discord

all right look away brian look away look away all right here we go i'm going to click this i'm going to hit yes i'm going to open it i'm going to turn it up a little i don't know why it's quiet oh i know why it's quiet Oh, I know what this is It took me a second Because I'm not looking at the title either That's the dude that took my money We have come to ask for the sacred

Crossedacker of a jaunty Oh For the golden child He does not need it I just want the knife The knife Your child lives for our sakes Not for his own

I humbly beg you Let us have the knife I love this Let him ask it This is that part isn't it Which it is I like this part Go for it Eddie

I said Ah the knife. Ah, the golden child. One of the most conflicted movies I ever saw. I both like that movie and hate that movie. It's hard to explain. So, I watched this movie a ton growing up.

Oh, so good. And it holds up over the years. It's one of my favorite Eddie Murphy movies. Eddie Murphy. Eddie Murphy. Eddie Mooney Murby's. Eddie Mooney's. You can watch it's on Netflix.

It's on Netflix right now. Oh, hey. That's not. Why not? No excuse. If you've never seen it, you see the Golden Child. It's a good time.

It's all right. Yeah. I love it. No, you got the oatmeal scenes. I still think about that oatmeal. Yeah. Weird oatmeal.

Oh, the oatmeal with the stuff underneath it. Yeah. Yeah. The blood or whatever it is. Chat room saying that the effects or the C. G.I doesn't hold up. I don't remember they're being CGI in that movie. Oh, sure. Yeah. Little origami things running around that he creates. He went like while he's in his cage, he makes stuff that dances around to distract the, the big.

And the guy turns into the big demon thingy. Oh, I thought that was all stop motion and crap. I had no idea. That's very early, uh, yeah. Early C.G. Right. Very early C. Yeah. That's kind of impressive. Stop motion. Was it stop motion? Yeah, I guess it kind of was. Maybe it was. It had a little bit of a look to it. Yeah, certainly that, I'll bet you that the origami stuff or whatever it is that I'm remembering that he did with the, like the Coke can. He made a Coke can dance. Oh, yes.

I love that scene. I do too. And it's what's his name? Chance, dance. Charles Dance. Or as you can abbreviate it to Chance. Yeah, just take the whole name and call it Chance. Why not?

Yeah. All right. All right. So there's my first one, and here's my, so my mom is visiting for Mateo's birthday. Mateo turns 10 tomorrow. That's crazy. Isn't it? And she says to me yesterday, hey, when's that show going to come back?

I'm like, huh, let me go look on Netflix. It was like, it's out. Yeah, it's out now. Okay. So I think it literally just came out within the last couple days. So here's, here is the trailer for a second season. All right, second season of whatever I'm clicking here. I'm going to try to do it blind.

Hold on. Whoops. Yes. Okay. Now it's opening. My husband died last year. And I moved my kids to the house where he grow up. The kids, they are doing great.

But I can't move on from things that still make no sense to me. He would. tell me, wouldn't you, if there was something going on? Just because we figured out a few of the keys, we think we know everything. We don't know everything, but we know the judge is gone. Oh, I know. Key, uh, key, uh, lock and key.

There you go. Yes. Key and peel. Yeah. Uh, yeah, no, lock and key. I still haven't seen it. I've read that comic four times. I love that comic series so much, and I've read it over and over, and I haven't seen the show.

I don't know why I haven't seen the show. What? I know. You need to watch it. It's so good. So Joe Hill, who wrote Lock and Key, actually signed my copy of the last Lock and Key book. There is a bookstore that he frequents, that if you put an order in at this bookstore, and request that Joe Hill sign,

he will come in and sign those books. Oh, that's cool. That's awesome. So I got a locking key book signed by him, which is really cool. I love his books. He's great. I mean,

he's steaming king's son, so it seems like it was a natural thing for him to be a great writer, but he's awesome, really like his stuff. Yeah. So how is the show compared to the comic? I've never really talked to anybody about it.

Is it good? Is it did it change things? So I've only, and here's my problem. I've only read for so I have the binded comics together so the books themselves

with their hardbound and they have the little tag thing you know I've only read four of those I need to go back to them to refresh my memory there are changes to the story

I'm not sure because I think I stopped before some of this other stuff I don't think that it's the say maybe the chat room can can help um but i'm enjoying it i'm kind of holding off reading the rest of the books because i want to watch the show i'm really enjoying the show um so yeah i'm gonna i'm gonna finally watch it i think i just i don't know i was worried i guess because the comic is i love it and uh yeah i was concerned that they would try to soften it up too much or i don't know

no it's definitely not kid friendly not for kids even though it has kids and it. My mom started to put it on, like, you got to turn off. The kids are here. Like, no. I like it. It's a really great show. This was me just reminding people that Lock and Key is still out there and the second season

is there if you are interested. All right. I love the concept of keys doing different things. And so this season, you're going to get more into other keys, how they were made, like the kind of the history of key house my mom I had to go to the school yesterday and so my mom kept watching

and she came back and she's like I really want to tell you what happened but I can't she said there's going to be some surprises so there's a few twists that she was not expecting in the second season that I'm just like

I got to get in there now cool very cool I love it I'm going to put that on the list of shame, things I should be watching. Loki, that, what else? Other things. You still haven't watched Loki? Nope.

I haven't. I know one of these days I'm going to come on the show and freak everybody out because I'll have watched Loki and African parasite and they're all losing. This is my life with my husband. When he says he hasn't watched, I go, you haven't watched it? Yeah, and I do that to people sometimes with other stuff. Like when I met somebody the other day, well, or months ago maybe, I should have brought up on the show, but it was somebody who had never.

seen even a minute of Star Wars content of any kind and that blows my mind I know yeah I don't know how you avoid it like it's so big how do you not how do you not listen someday you're gonna pop on to the show and say Brian I just watch parasite and I'm just gonna plotts I'm gonna plot right here yeah on the floor what is that what is plotting me let's I don't know it's a Jewish thing oh it's a Jewish thing well you have some Jewish blood you can I know I didn't get I haven't gotten the updated handbook yet though which has the glossary. They're a little slow getting those out.

It's fine. They are exactly, yes. I wish they'd go digital. It would be a lot easier. It would be so much nicer, yeah. It would be really nice. Oh, it would be nicer. These are fine recommendals, and I also like that you went a little Halloween today.

That's good, a little, you know, as it is Halloween week. And I'm also really bummed that we're not going to see you for the next little while, but I'm super excited for you. You're going to do rad stuff. I'll be listening. Yeah. You're going to change lives. I'm telling you.

Yeah. I actually mean that. Teachers are the best. In an alternate universe, I'm teaching. That's what I'm doing. I love how everybody says teachers are the best, but they really don't get paid money. They don't get paid shit. The paychecks don't reflect the teachers are the best.

Apparently, athletes are the best. I think you know how much I get for subbing for a day for a teacher? 150 bucks. That seems ridiculous to me for subbing for a day. Yeah, that's not great. But you're going to make a difference, man. I'm okay with it, though. But there's a lot of people that try to make a living wage.

for that and it's it's kind of sad yeah i'm well well Nicole i hope this means that um i'm gonna get you to see i get to see you in in real life sometime soon if i'm not going to see you here on londes yeah yeah brian go go creep around the school we got to we got to fix that brian you should go creep around the school just weirdly like some just some guy do i do i need to be a student to attend your stem class you could teach me a few things about 3d printing yeah sure here's where I get all my files. I've designed a few things. I designed a spoon holder.

I designed an iPhone thing with a mag safe thing in it. That's cool. So I just introduced the kids to Thingiverse. Yeah. And they were like, yeah, exactly. I was like, I was wholly enough introducing you to this because I wanted you to understand the TinkerCad software first.

So if you find something that you want to modify, you, you'll know how to then import it in and make the modifications. I said, so I want you to find something simple to print. And, of course, the first kid comes back with a Bronco truck. I'm like, I don't consider this simple. Yeah. No, no. So it really is called thing of verse.

Scott, it's just with an eye and still with a Y. Is it thingy verse? Thingeverse. Oh, Nicole said thingyverse. I say thingy verse. Sure. It's fine. That's why I'm just asking because I thought maybe I've been saying it wrong.

It's a made-up word. You can pronounce it any way you are. Whatever. That's true. I can say whatever I'm on. Yeah. You did it the right way. Teach the kids how to make their own stuff before you just give them a repository of stuff other people have made they can download and print. That is the best way.

And I did explain it. I said, you know, this is kind of the principles of science. You're building off other people's work. So you can find something that's almost what you want. take it and then build upon it or remix it or whatever you want to call it and then you can share it with the world as well so it's it's kind of cool that's awesome I'm really excited and I'm excited for the first time you're back for either the summer or a special one-off or whatever and you can tell us about all these kids that are the next leaders of America for sure yeah yep world leaders

all Christmas vacation is just around the corner that's right my guys I can't believe it I know this movies are coming that's right yeah Katie Sackoff sent uh Katie Sackoff and Paul from Kin's Convenience, Appa from Kin's Convenience, are both in separate Christmas movies

on the Hallmark channel this year. Katie Sackoff. I don't really... What is she doing? You had us until... I love her. I love her to death, but I don't know if I want to see her.

You lost us at Hallmark movies, Scott. I know, that's my point. But isn't that weird? Like, and she did this interview show where she goes... But didn't she do? Like those like after school movie type things before she did. Yeah. Oh, maybe.

Before she did Battlestar. Maybe, yeah. I mean, she was like in her early 20s in Battlestar. So she was probably doing some other stuff. But I really like her. But she's funny. She's, I heard an interview, she's like, this is really different for me because I get to wear makeup. I look to, I get to like try to look pretty.

All my other work, I'm just a dirty, all my other work, I'm just like a dirty sci-fi person. Like I'm covered in oil and good. and, you know, alien bits. And she goes, this is a big difference for me. So I might, that might be one I'd watch because I really like Katie Sackoff. So we'll see. We'll see if that becomes a recommendal in the future. All right.

Nicole, we're going to miss you. Have a fantastic week. See, Nicole. Hi, everybody. Good luck at school. All right. Well, there you go. Nicole off into the land of the teaching.

All right. That's it for that. Oh, follow her on Twitter. She'll probably be today where she put all of them, puts all our recommendations up. So Nicole Spag on Twitter. I guess one of us will have to take over those duties. Yeah, something. Maybe we'll get a, I don't know, some tadpooler. Just throw more at ice warm. Hey, ice warm. Do more things. Yeah.

Yes. Yeah. All right. So shut up and dance was one of the songs that she listed that Jonathan that she and Jonathan like. And I've got two versions of it.
