PGF. This is the morning stream. Is it over? yet. Good morning, everybody. Welcome back to TMS. It is the morning stream for Monday, March 28th, 2020. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Abbott. Hi, Brian.

Good morning. You're back from the great state of Texas, the Lone Star State. That's right. I missed you all Friday. Hope you missed me. Yeah, we did. So you went down there for a pinball thing and give us the... Not just a pinball.

I mean, we're talking the biggest... Pinball event in, I think they're calling it, the biggest pinball event in the world. So Texas Pinball Festival is this annual event that they hold in Dallas, actually in Frisco, which is just north of Dallas. Really nice area, by the way, a nice suburb of Dallas. And it's, they take the Frisco Convention Center, and they completely fill it with 90% pinball machines, 10% video games.

Oh, I was going to ask how it was with the gaming side, and it sounds like there is some. I wasn't sure they'd have any. There's some video games. There weren't any tempests. They did have two jousts, one of which had a really effed up screen. Like, it was, there were, like, the letters on the tract mode were all garbled and flickering and stuff like that. But I did play the other joust, and I, you know, I took a picture. I got in the high score.

Listen, I got in the high score of a machine that was sitting on the floor. of the Texas pinball festival constantly being played by people. Wow. So I got to feel pretty good. I'm impressed with that. Yeah, no, that's awesome.

Do you remember what your score was? I can pull it up. Oh, yeah, but you got the picture of the score. I took a picture. It's on my phone. It was,

let's see here. I'm excited to hear this. It was only 57,600, but I was on the daily buzzards list. That's actually not bad. That's really good. That's a high score. This machine,

Steve, Radke, who also owns a full-size joust machine, Chili Dog. He's a regular, nerdtacular attendee, TMS Vegas attendee. He'll be there in Vegas next month. Nice. He said that

he can, like, he knows what the dip switch settings are to, like, rank up the difficulty. You open up the machine, rank up the difficulty, and it, like, increases the frequency of buzzards or their ability to, like, go above, or the tereidactyl comes out sooner or whatever. He says,

Yeah, it was definitely cranked up to a higher, a higher difficulty than the default. Oh, and you still did 57K. That's really good. I still did 57K, so. That's awesome. The dip switch is in there. I wonder if there's one to turn off the pterodactyl forever and forget it exists because I freaking hate that thing. You don't want to do that because there's a, there's a mode where you can, you basically, like, level 11 or whatever, level 11.

You work it out so that one of the gray dudes, the gray buzzards, gets pulled down into the lava by the hand as a pterodactyl is coming out. And as long as you do that, you'll just get nothing but a steady stream of pteradactyls that will all go to the level where they run into your lance with their nose and go and die. Wow. Okay. And so you can just basically rack up unlimited points by sitting there and just positioning yourself back and forth to, to get the left side taradactyls and the right side taradactals. Oh, man. You just named a thing I'd never heard of about that game, and it's my favorite arcade game.

Yeah, I know. It's like I didn't know that was a thing. It was like, it's like finding out about the Tempest, you know, get to the certain level and your score with two digits, and you can get 40 credits immediately. Wow. All right. That sounds great.

And they had. Maybe the pain of every arcade and arcade. in Arvada. Did they have all your favorite pinball titles there as well? They did, yeah. So a big shout out to the folks who were out there, TMS fans, Rusty and Shelley, who were the ones who brought Tina and I out there for this thing. They are just the nicest people ever.

They're also going to be in Vegas, so you'll get a chance to meet them, but they are they are pinball experts, nerd, like they know this stuff inside and out, but then they're also part of years and they have a lot of fun. Bobby Ann and Barry were there. We had cigars. I did a little Twitter of me puffing out some smoke out of a cigar. Stephen Radke was there, Jay and Angie. So some really good machines.

There's a brand new Weird Al Yankovic. It's a modular machine, which means you buy this, you buy the game, the whole pinball machine. But then it's also modular. You can take out the Weird Al Yankovic chunk in the back and replace it with a different chunk to make a different game. And the ramps in the front of the machine stay the same. And there's a video underneath it that tells you what your objectives are and things like that. Oh, okay. So it's still like a $4,000 or $5,000 game.

But this is like their first dip into franchise with this thing. So this is where it might actually take off. So if you know, you want to get a machine, you don't have a lot of space. You could do one of these. And then when you're tired of playing Rail Ankevick, you take that module out, set it aside, put this other module in. for a little while play that and and um wow that's cool there was a line that was the only game that was brand new to this festival everything else had been out for maybe three months six months or whatever but um a lot of it was new to me they have a a mandolorean game that is fantastic oh yeah i heard

about that one um they have a brand new one that's based on uh Halloween the the movie the uh the michael Myers movies and here's what's cool about that so you've got all of your you know your gates and your ball launchers and stuff like that all over the playing field right you'll you'll fire the ball into like a drop where it goes in a hole and disappears and you're thinking all right well wait a few seconds and then it shoots it back so you're kind of watching that hole to see where it comes out and boom the ball comes out of another place that you're not even expecting it you have jump scares because of that as if you were watching

the heart of the slasher. That's a great idea. What a cool idea. It's a really clever way to do it. And then they have all these hedges on the side and Mike Myers comes out with a machete and then disappears back here and he's like That's awesome. It's a really good game. Yeah, a lot of different challenges and stuff. Perfect timing for that too.

Let me ask you this one question about weird al's machine. Did the control feel like a great big, what's that called? plays what's that thing? Oh, an accordion? Yeah. Was it like an accordion at all? It seems like that would have been a great, a great way to do it. No, it's since the thing's modular, you got to kind of make the buttons pretty generic to be able to control different games. But no, but that thing, that back, that little back section, which is only about a third of the playing field, had like a UHF camera in there. It had a Jurassic Park, uh, or

what was it, uh, geriatric park. What was his thing? No, he did Jurassic Park. it was just a play on the MacArthur Park song with the Jurassic Park. There's so many, there's so many references to Weird Al Songs in that thing. It is insane. There's so much stuff. Oh, wow. That's cool. That sounds awesome. I'm, uh,

I'm not a giant pinball guy, but I know enough about some of them that I really get into them. I like pinball video game hybrids a lot. And I feel like those are underrepresented, but they probably are like looked down upon a little bit by the purest of the pinball folks.

They definitely look down on the like the arcade one-up like the machine I have, the Marvel arcade one-up machine I have, although, oh man, this one got me like being there this weekend and finding out that there is a very easy flash mod. This is a good thing

to talk with Stephen about because he has one of these as well. A very easy flash mod that will allow you to load every arcade one-up game on there and even another couple mods where you can and have every, like, Zen pinball, the Zen games that are, you know, made for iPads and tablets and stuff.

Right. And I put it, you know, hundreds of games on there. So I've got a, you know, I've been playing the Marvel one, playing it to pieces. But now I'm excited to say, all right, let's throw Star Wars and Mars attacks on there and all these other ones. Yeah. No, that's cool. Yeah.

I like that. I personally like those, but I'm always afraid to say that in front of, like, spin, people because I think those are oh yeah yeah no they're definitely looked those those full on video machines are definitely looked down upon among the among members of the pinball community yeah you gotta have the mechanics that's the whole point big mechanical you gotta have and you got to know like oh yeah you know well I took the uh auto sensors out of those bumpers because you know they were only at uh 4 amp and I wanted them to be a 6 amp to really shoot the ball across to blah blah blah yeah so you know there's this is this is definitely a show that is

is a little bit made for people who love pinballed who just want to go and play a bunch of games, but more made for people who own a lot of games, bring them to these shows to either sell them or show them off. There were a lot of completely custom pinball machines. There was an elf custom pinball, like a one-of-a-kind. There was a... Oh, elf movie. Elf movie. Got it.

There was a Star Trek. This is the coolest one. So there was the original Star Trek pinball machine, 60s. Yeah, the old, old Kirk-looking one with the way old school looking that machine. Way old school, and it's in one big flat playing field. No ramps, no fun stuff like that. This guy took one of those. He owns multiples of the Star Trek machine.

He took one of those. He flipped all of the stuff on the table, which I don't know how you do with some this stuff because it's like well here's this set of targets you can't just like flip them upside down but he made a mirror universe version of the star trick pinball machine change the backglass to have like spock with a beard and the different you know the different outfits and stuff that's right he replaced the the score lights with um the nixie tubes yeah numbers in nixie tubes so it looked all steam punky incredible work. That's great. I wonder

if that guy, did he, I wonder if he documented any of that, put it up somewhere. Oh, I bet he did. You know what? There's got to be a thing online where he talks about the Yeah, we live in that era, right? Everyone makes YouTube stuff these days. I would hope so. That would be really cool to watch. Cabin Kipper found it that quickly. Oh my gosh. Yes.

He's not, look, he has the rank of captain for a reason. He finds stuff real fast. He is Captain Kipper. Yeah, so there, that's that's the machine right there it is it is seriously one of a kind there's that's the only one in existence and it was on the floor there fully functional plays plays fine no no janky wow yeah and uh that's awesome yeah it's it's it's so good so anyway and this is a place where dealers like say oh well i'm trying to sell this wizard voss machine um somebody can come and buy it and it did you know we played it team and i played this wizard of voss machine i had one of the best pinball

games in my life and there were people behind me waiting to play it then I'm like oh they're going to be so pissed off because I took such a long time on this machine that I was walking away this lady goes dude that was a nice game oh wow nice yeah yeah but uh you look at the price tag on it it's a $15,000 wizard of Oz pinball machine right now I'm thinking you know you've got some money to burn you want one of these games you come to this pinball festival you're like all right they've got a Wizard of Oz I'm totally buying you buy it do you leave it on the floor for more people to play after you buy it?

Or do you, like, as quickly as you can, get that thing off the floor so that somebody doesn't drop a Starbucks latte down the... Oh, that actually was the next question I was going to ask. Do they allow people with, like, food, drink, that sort of thing? They had drinking in there. Like, they had, yeah, a lot of people had cup holders and stuff on the sides of their machines, which is the smart way to do it. Um, that scares me though. If you had like a $20,000 machine in there, you'd just be like paranoid the whole time. Oh, for sure. Yeah. Yep. I'm sorry, I'm still looking at this Star Trek machine. It's so awesome. I know. It's amazing, isn't it? Yeah. I'd play the hell out of that. So anyway, it was a great time. And, uh, I'm definitely going again next year. Scott, if I have to go there to Salt Lake City bound, bind and gag you and put you on an airplane. You're coming with me. All right. Cool. I've always wanted to fly. I bound in a bag.

Well, I have just a duffel bag ready for you. Yeah, if you can make that happen, I'd be good. All right, now we're going to talk about this. All right. I wish that was the sound. I do, too. Sadly, that is not the sound. That's something I got from an old film sack.

However, we're not going to talk too much. Okay, listen, if you're not a patron of the show, we just did like 20 minutes. 15 minutes, 20 minutes of talk about the slap hurt around the world. Yeah, the slap. heard around the world. Brian and I, uh, you know, we, we, we have a couple things to say, but honestly, we're not going to add too much to this ridiculous conversation that's happening across all forms of media today. Um, if you don't know what we're talking about, the basics is that Chris Rock told a joke. It was about Jada Pinkett Smith, uh, about her hair loss,

although he may or may not have known. There's some question about that. Anyway, it was a very punchy down joke no matter what, however you say it. Uh, Will Smith then did also a bad thing, which was walk up there and slapping really hard in the face. At first, people thought it was part of a joke or something. Turned out later. No, it wasn't. And then Will Smith won the Best Actor Award later, which is just about the weirdest.

I mean, this easily... Turn of events. Yeah, does this just for you, at least in my mind, this easily just wipes away the oops, we opened the wrong envelope year? Yeah, I was trying to think of anything like, you know, Marlon Brando not showing up to accept his award,

or Warren Bady and Faye Dunaway saying La La Land when they meant Spotlight. Right. Right. But it does seem like these are more, the goofs are happening in a more recent way, doesn't it to me? It does, yeah. Yeah, I think there were streakers in the old days. I mean, it feels like the problems they had before were a little more quaint than announcing the wrong best picture winner and actual violence on stage.

Yeah, these things feel like a far. Did I say Spotlight? I did mean Moonlight. Oh, yeah, he met Moonlight. I knew what you meant, and I even heard it, but I knew what you meant. So. Yeah, even Adela Zeme, right. Oh, he's cute.

No, Adel DeZem. I'd take that any day over somebody punching somebody, so. Yeah. So. Right after that slap, by the way. It was one of the first things they had after that was Will, or, uh, was John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson and Uma Thurman going on stage for the anniversary of, to celebrate the anniversary of Pulp Fiction.

And they played the, you know, the, was it Miserilu they played? I can't remember where the song they played, but Travolta and Thurman are sitting there dancing while Samuel Jackson is putting this, the briefcase, Marcellus Wallace's briefcase up on a stand. And I look over, so we had to go to our friend's houses, well, not I had to. We went over to our friends' houses. You willingly did that. You willingly went to your friend's house. We willingly did that.

Although we were both exhausted, I had like a. Scratchy, or Tina had a scratchy throat. I was a little congested. We were both worried that like, well, we were in Texas. Nobody wears a mask in Texas. And, but I leaned over to Tina and I said, how much do you think we can get Pay Will Smith to go up there and slap John Travolta to get him to stop dancing? Because that was just, it was horrible to watch.

Yeah, that's hard to watch. I didn't, so for the record, I actually saw none of the live broadcast, partly because I just, I don't have a service that does it for me. and I'm not watching, I don't have regular live TV. That was part of it. But part of it is, you know how I show about these awards shows. It kind of annoy me. But when that happened, I was like, oh, we're having a moment here.

I wish I could see this. But don't worry, the internet delivered. I immediately got to see it. Oh, you, yeah, you can see the entire thing, the entire Oscars ceremony via YouTube in different clips and stuff. Like watching Tony Kotzer's acceptance for Best Supporting Actor for Coda is a moment you don't want to miss. I did see that. That was awesome.

Jessica Chastain's acceptance for Eyes of Tammy Faye is worth seeing. Don't you think that whole room deserves an Oscar for pretending so well that nothing had just happened after that of Smackdown? Yes. Except for Amy Schumer, who Amy Schumer came out and said, I'm sorry, I was just getting out of my Spider-Man costume. Did I miss anything? It's like the moment when Pee Wee Herman got up on stage of the MTV Music Awards and said, hey, anybody here any good jokes lately? No, yeah, yeah. I forgot about that because he was that whole

porno thing that he was involved. The whole porno thing, yeah. So, yeah, give them all awards. The collective acting all combined and they all ignored the giant elephant that sat in the room with them for the rest of the night. Yeah. So here, I thought it briefly, like we do every year.

We'll just go over these winners here. A little recap of some of the big ones, yeah. Yeah, here's your big stuff. You got your best supporting actress. Ariana DeBois, am I saying her name right? Ariana DeBois. DeBois for West Side Story. Now, that's interesting because that's twice that's twice that a movie called West Side Story and the person playing that role got the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, which is pretty cool.

It was originally, what's her name? Rita Moreno. Yeah, who was there? And, you know, I didn't think about this. But when they first showed Rita Moreno, I said, oh, it's good to see Phyllis Diller still with us because she had this, like, big feather wig going. like the old Phyllis Diller like a wig made completely out of feathers and uh wow that's a good that's a good call it's a good deep cut um then we have all of doon won everything else sort of uh they won everything that was technical certainly doon did the um

i'm gonna i'm gonna invoke the for a change i'm gonna invoke the the mad max fury road but dune did what mad max free road did the year that it was nominated for best picture is when all of the technical or most of the technical Oscars. Yeah, which is, I mean, numbers-wise, it cleaned up. Right. Maybe not, you know, prestige-wise. Those are always, you know, those are your best picture, your best director, your best whatever. Yeah.

But, yeah, it's almost a mirror. Sounds, cinematography, production design, editing, music, visual effects. Like, it nailed the technicals. Yeah, for sure. And it did, you're right about it mirroring Mad Max because Mad Max was basically the same deal, including Best Picture, Best Director, all of that, nominations. But one, everything else technical. It's almost the exact same thing.

It's almost the same. Except those movies are not the same. And they're both amazing. And people should watch them. I just want to make that clear. I am not saying those movies are the same, everybody. Of course, yes. Let's see what else.

I was a little bummed about, I mean, Belfast won for Best Original Screenplay. I'm glad it did because Belfast is excellent. But I am kind of bummed that Lickrish Pizza didn't win that one. because if there was any category that it had a chance in, it should have won the best original screenplay, because it was so good. Man, I still need to see that.

That one's not streaming yet, is it? Liquorice pizza. Liquorice pizza is, like, rentable, I think. Gotcha. All right. But, yeah. I mean you throw five bucks of that this weekend or something. I don't know.

You should, and you should see Belfast because it's fantastic. I mean, it deserved, it also deserved to win and deserved it win what it did. I think that was, didn't it have two categories at one in or just one? I guess it just won best original screenplay. Now, I've not seen, we normally don't focus much on makeup and hairstyling, but I've not seen this Eyes of Tammy Fay thing. But I assume they did really good work.

They must have, but aren't they just replicating bad makeup? Because that's what she, she's famous. That's such a tiny aspect of that. And Eyes of Tammy Fay might end up bringing my record. recommendal this week if I don't get through this other thing that I'm watching quickly enough. But yeah, there's the aspect of like, all right, Tammy Faye and her whacked out bizarro world makeup thing. And they replicated that perfectly. But they also did an incredible job making Jessica Chastain look age appropriate for the different

eras of Tammy Faye Baker or Tammy Faye, whatever she was before Baker. Yeah. Not to mention Andrew Garfield. I guess he was finally, it's good to see that he actually got to be in a movie in 2021. But Andrew Garfield making him look like Jim Baker, and they did an incredible job of that, too, and making Vincent and Afrio into Fallwell. And, God, it was, that one did deserve best makeup because of all of that incredible aging and making people not look like they're just wearing like old person makeup or young person makeup.

Yeah, there you go. All right, well, that's good. Let's see what else we got here. Live action short went to the long goodbye. Animated short went to the windshield wiper. I think you had two different picks there, didn't you? I had two different picks. I thought, I had one for live action documentary short.

Me and Randy went head-to-head in the last film. Oh, right. Who wins that? I said, I said Audible should have won the documentary short subject, I still stand behind it, although Queen of Basketball is excellent and also deserve to win. So Randy did win that one. Oh, that's the one he picked then?

That's what he picked. He also, he picked Robin Robin to win the animated short, and I, um, I said one of these that has animated boobs and wean should win, and one of the ones with animated boobs and wean won, but it wasn't, I was thinking Affairs of the Heart would be the one with animated boobs and wean. would win but uh the boobs and wean winner of the air but uh both of those like the you know go seek those out people those are on youtube and and netflix and uh vimeo and stuff like that but uh affairs of the art and the windshield wiper are both really really good yeah i got

see both of those um yeah i want to see all of them so like george plimpton you're a fan of george plimpton love love his work yes yeah that's that's that's that second one is going to make you like Affairs of the Art is going to make you think about George Plympton and his style. But that other one, I put links to both of those in our film sack thing. Windshield Wiper, there are parts of it. I can't tell how they animate it because it looks like it's part 3D,

but then that part kind of looks like it's 2D and stuff like that. That sounds awesome. It sounds like my jam. Enkanto won the best animated feature. You got visual effects for Dune again. Best Supporting Actor, is it Tony Kutsur? Katsur, is how you said? Katsur, yeah. The first male deaf actor to win, first male deaf actor to win the best.

Is he the first, I thought it was the first deaf actor, period, no? No, Marley Matlin, who was also in Kota, won for Children of a Lesser God. Right. That is a really good point. Yeah. That's awesome. That whole moment was great. It's a little bummer.

A little bummer that that was overshadowed a little bit by the big slap, but whatever. Yeah, yeah. Drive My Car, one best international film. You ended up liking that, right? I did like that. It's a long movie, and afterwards you feel like you've watched Uncle Vanya and Drive My Car, because it's three hours, and you don't even get credits until 40 minutes in, opening credits. That's a long time.

It's a long time. Let's see. Best Original Song Went to No Time to Die from No Time to Die. Oh, it was good. And Phineas and Billy Ilish performed it live on stage and brought down the house. So it was a great, great performance. Good for them. Go from making weird music in your bedroom to mega superstar.

I know, right? And you have to keep reminding yourself. Like, she's, what, 19 or 20 now or something? Yeah, she's just a kid, really. And she's just got so much ahead of her. Oh, yeah. She's got a whole life of this. So don't F it up.

No pressure. Exactly. Stay cool. Stay grounded, Billy Eilish. Jane Campion, given the award by the one, the only, Kevin Costner. I just like to mention that. His old dottering speech beforehand. It was pretty dottering, but I love him and I don't care.

Yes, I know you do. And he was talking about westerns and seeing his first adult movie. What of the fact that he said it that way? It's like, oh, wow, all right. What, uh, where are we going with this? Yeah, I just, I just wanted to hear him talk about the mariner water world a little. He didn't do it. Anyway, went that, went to Jane Campion for Power of the Dog, which everyone thought

was going to sweep everything and didn't. Uh, interesting. I thought until the recent Coda resurgence with the Writers Guild Award and the Producers Guild Awards, both going to Coda, I thought Power the Dog was the lock. And then once Cota started getting those, it's like, all right, I'm switching my to Cota. So just to finish things, we pretty much mentioned everything else, just to finish that up. There was another race here that nobody talks about very much, and we're going to hear all about it next time Apple has a keynote. Apple put money behind and produced a movie

that got an Oscar before Netflix did and Netflix is trying to do it for years. They are the first streaming service to get a Best Picture Award. And they've been trying, Netflix has been trying for years for that. The Irishman, the freaking, a million of them. They were just like trying to get him in there. And they came close, lots of nominations.

This one just won. This is one that they found at Sundance and picked up and then said, here you go. So Utah Connection there. and bam there's your movie and I want to see it more now than ever I just keep hearing wonderful things I still haven't seen it but I want to watch it

yeah that's really really good I think you're the one that first recommended it here on the show I did the first recommendal on it and then Randy did a emphemental to emphasize his recommendal of it last weekend we got to write that down

that's not bad yeah I just put links to windshield wiper and affairs of the art into chat for folks to go check out all right very nice okay real quick I need to register one very fast complaint. Mixers, 12-year-old mixers should never die.

Mixers should not die ever. They shouldn't break. I saw that headline. I was like get-togethers with people talking and chatting with just 12-year-olds. I wish. I wish it was that. I wish it was a kitchen mixer, a cake mixer. I wish it was anything but my sound mixer.

But my sound mixer after 12 years. I still thought it was your cake mixer. You're like kitchen aid or something. Something. Nope. In fact, if you notice today, people watching live and Brian, I'm not wearing headphones. There's a reason. The new mixer, which I overnighted, doesn't quite do route my audio the way I need it to to self-monitor. So I have some stuff coming today that should remedy that. But for today, I can't do it this way. So I'm having you over some speakers. It probably sounds fine. Sounds totally fine. I wouldn't have noticed. And did not notice you weren't wearing headphones. That actually was kind of preferable. I mean, it is. And I may, I may, I don't know, who knows, I may stick with it. But I'm, I was just annoyed because this happened right before TWBD. Turns out some capacitors were leaking. And I think it's because I never turned it off, you know? It's just on all the time.

So when that power's on all the time, you're basically stressing those the entire 12 years. Oh, shoot. My Mackey is on all the time. Now you make me worry. I know. See, in this new one I got, I got a new Berringer. And it doesn't have a power switch. You have to unplug it.

So now I'm worried. I might put one of those like, internet of things outlets on it so i can just tell there you tell the a word to turn it off anyway it's been annoying there's my complaint all right let us call brian yes let's have some fun let's get oh geez what have i done this is wrong hold on hold on i started the i started the film sack call like a dumb ass hold on you know why because i was in there and i saw your name, and I'm like, because I was looking at your post, you were saying, and then I, so I went in there, and your name's there, and I'm like, oh, I'm in the right place. This is all fun. Yeah, that's

fine. All right, Randy is sitting there in Hawaii going, uh, why am I getting a call from film set? I'm on vacation. This is 2 o'clock in the morning here in Hawaii. Look who it is. It's our old pal Brian Dunaway, joining us all the way from South Carolina for another Babel Royale. How's it going? Brian. Oh, hi Scott and Brian. How are you guys? Good man. We're good. How are you? Doing fan freaking testic. Wow, that's good. We took so long to get to you. I had to laugh about it. Every year after the awards, Oscars is always later and later. I don't even know why you have me on the Monday after. Whatever. Whatever. Hey, our lives wouldn't be good. It just doesn't feel like a Monday if we don't talk to you, Brian.

I agree. It doesn't. I agree with that. It's good to have you here, though. I hope you're well. Big thanks to done away actually last night or yesterday afternoon I bugged him on Discord I'm like hey you around yeah get on there and help me test this thing so he and I spent an hour testing my damn mixer and that was really nice of him so thank you of course of course we always do it we've been doing our troubleshooting

for 15 years or 15 or 16 years yeah 2005 trying to work out Skype stuff remember that yeah this won't be our last tech rodeo I'm sure We live in that rodeo. All right. It's good to have you back. Of course, today, Brian's going to present another game for us.

Hey, Brian, what are we doing and how are we playing? Welcome to the morning half-houses, a trivia game where I'm actually going to be giving you guys the answers. I'm giving you to a category and six possible answers, three of which are correct, and three that are incorrect. Depending on how confident you two feel with a category, you can provide one, two, or three guesses. But if you get any wrong, you get zero points for that round. If you guess one and you get it right, you get a point. If he gets two and you get them both right, you get three points. And if you guess all three correctly, you get five points.

So the player with the most points after three rounds wins the prize for their contestant. Contestants, we need them. I've got them. I pulled them randomly from members of the Tadpool that aren't here to listen live. So Scott, you're going to be playing for Amos from Wasilla, Alaska. Oh, I know who. I know Amos. That's cool.

All right. He can see. He can see Russia from his house. Brian, you're going to be playing for Lisa Z from Buffalo, New York. Oh, the other coast. All right. One coast to the other. All right.

He cannot see Russia from her house. She can't. If she can, there's trouble. Yeah, exactly. Walk her up. All right. So, let's get to first question. I'm going to give you your category and six possible answers.

Let's start with this one. Stars who have hosted Saturday Night Live. 10 times or more. So these are people who have hosted 10 times or more. I like this. Celebrity style questions the day after the Oscars. Always good. Yes.

Well, you'd be surprised. I've actually hunted for some stuff related to this last weekend. So, all right, your six choices are. I think Chris Rock wishes you would keep his name out of your mouth. I think he's going to wish everybody would keep his name out of their mouths, but that ain't going to happen today. So these are 10 or more, you say? Ten or more. We've hosted 10 or more times.

Your choices are Buck Henry, Alec Baldwin, Chevy Chase, Khrushchevuech, John Goodman, and Justin Timberlake. Three of them have hosted 10 times or more. Three of them have not. Oh, my lord. I feel pretty confident about, oh, I don't know. I'm locked in, but I don't know. I'm doing that one. I'm doing those two.

There's the third one that's tricky to me, it. Go ahead. You guys have locked in. Let's see, let's see, you guys both went with Alec Baldwin. I'll tell you, that's correct. He's hosted, he actually holds the record. He's hosted 17 times. Oh, my gosh. That's a lot. Scott, you also chose Buck Henry and John Goodman. Brian, you chose Christopher Walken. Scott wins the first round. Those are the three. A nice little sweep there. Yeah, Buck Henry is hosted 10 times. John Goodman hosted 13. times. Christopher Walken only seven. Timberlake's been on a bunch of times, but he doesn't host usually.

That was what I'm trying to... Right. He's hosted five times. He's a member of the five-timers club, but he hasn't unless he's hosted one more time since this card was written. You think they even want Chevy Chase back? They probably are annoyed with him like everyone is, right? I think so. Yeah. He's got to be difficult. He's got to be like, I started this show. There's got to be some major diva. Oh, yeah. He's already known for that, but like, what was I watching the other, oh, somebody the other day sent me a YouTube video of his promo for his upcoming talk show. Remember that talk show that lasted like a week?

Yeah. Yeah. And there's a promo floating out out there of him, you know, trying to get people hyped for it. And it was the weirdest, like, take me back in time moment of, it was odd. Because I'd completely forgotten about it. 93 or something. Yeah. And it lasted what? Like, not like a week or something. Yeah. Yeah. I can't remember who's lasted less time. Magic Johnson's talk show or Chevy Chase's talk show. Anybody's shocked that they've made a poor decision bringing Chevy Chase on board on a project. That's on them. He's been a Chevy Chase for a very long time.

You don't have to do too much research to find out it's going to be a problem. All right. Let's get to category number two. I just flew. I just came back on a trip flying from Dallas to here. name well six of these are let's try this again airports named for someone who died in a plane crash so of these six answers three of these are named for people who died in a plane crash what a weird it was i wonder if they're all before or after it happened i don't know oh i see what interesting like right like they were named before the plane crash oh that's interesting was that part of the deal Oh, yeah, that's, I would need to know, that's important to know. Did they, did it name them after this because of their death in a plane crash, or was it just so happening?

I don't know that. Yeah, I don't know the answer to that. I don't know the answer to that. So your choices are O'Hare International in Chicago, Pearson International in Toronto, Newt Rockney in South Bend, St. expiry in line in France, Aquino International in Manila, and Will Rogers Airport in Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City. I don't freaking know. Did his horse also die?

Right, yes. There should be a big bopper. He never met an airport. He didn't like it. He didn't like. We need a, we need Big Bopper International. That's what we need. All right, Brian is locked in.

Scott is still decided. I'm just going to lock in. I don't know. Okay. All right. I did one. This is interesting. Neither, you guys, none of you, neither of you have chosen the same one.

O'Hare. Uh, Brian Dunaway chose O'Hare in Chicago. That is named after somebody who died in a plane crash. Uh-oh. However, all of your other choice. Seriously? Really? Neither of those are.

St. exeperi in Lyon is, uh, is named after a person who died in a plane crash. And Will Rogers. Uh, do not know he died in a plane crash. Interesting. I didn't either. I almost, I almost chose Will Rogers and then I chose Newt Rockney. I don't know why.

I don't know why I didn't choose the right. Yeah. Well, it doesn't. matter i failed yeah new rockney uh boxer but i don't know how he how he actually died wasn't he a boxer uh yeah what was new rockney i don't know he was a character on the flintstones wasn't he is that yeah anybody who had the name rockney oh football they say in the chat okay okay thank you well you shouldn't play football on a plane that's on him oh he didn't die okay remind yeah gotcha all right oh he didn't die he's he's still no he's not still alive he just died some other way

Yeah, Steve, yeah. All right. All right. Football player, yeah. I got corrected by five or six people there for that one. All right. Well, we just had an awards show. So how about this one?

Awards that are no longer given out. So these are awards. Okay. Three of these are not given out anymore. The Edgars, given out for mystery writing. The genies for Canadian movies. the Clios, given out for advertising, the OBSs for off-Broadway theater,

the Patsies for Animal Performers and the Vibe Awards given out for R&B and RAP. Oh, my Lord. I know we have both Jeannie and Cleo in here. Yeah, that's weird. Weird. What a great, yeah. So there are three, though, like normal?

There are three of these are no longer given out. Okay. So this is just like the other 20 times we've played this, There's just the three? Is it just the three? Did you change it up for this question, by chance? Are there just three? All right.

I'm locked. All right. Let's see what we got here. Let's see. Both of you said the Patsies, which are given away to animal performers. That's absolutely correct. Really? Brian, you also chose the genies.

That one is correct as well. And Scott, you chose the Vibe Awards, which is also correct. Oh, good job. Scott gets three points for having two of the right. The Obes, however, the Obes are still giving away for off-Broadway theater. They're due to be handed out, I think, in April, the Obes. The Cleos I'd heard of, I wasn't sure they were still around, but it feels like those were a recent thing I'd heard of, so.

They are still, yep, and I think award season for those is also right now as well. like the uh i did i did some research just to make sure that again the question hadn't changed and the nomination period for the clios is still going so okay who gives awards to animals right yes i mean there's so much blowback on that i'd be like let's just pretend like we're not using animals in any entertainment i'm pretty sure that's a great job of performing this year that trigger gets an award for best horse i'm pretty sure if you win the award there's going to be some complaining that we worked it too hard i'm pretty sure you're right though i'm pretty sure that's what was the demise of them is that just you know we're we're we're

parading these animals and making them do things that aren't exactly good for the animals maybe so why why celebrate that i don't know i could be wrong yeah yeah i'm curious if the vibe awards had a like a little battery compartment in a switch that uh you could turn on no brine the new ones Yep the sword. It's all app operated now. Right, good. You just push a little app button. Perfect.

Well, congratulations, Scott. You're our winner, and that means that Amos from Wasilla is getting our prizes. He's going to be getting a copy of Paradise Lost and Cobra Kai. The Karate Kid Saga continues. Didn't realize there was a cobra Kai video game. And if it's not like a karate champ, then what are we doing? Yeah, what's a good point? But Lisa Z from Buffalo, New York,

you're going to be getting a copy of Gemcraft, Frostborn Rath. I do not know what Gemcraft is, but I'm sure it's good. Those other two, Paradise Loss, especially, is a very good game. I just want Amos to remember this, because he also works with Tom on DTNS and when I'm there Wednesday. Maybe he can, you know, he can, I don't know, he doesn't give me anything, he's fine.

He doesn't have to do anything. You're totally fine. But he makes, he takes amazing photographs, by the way, chat room. Oh, really? Oh, cool. Yeah, he takes, he goes out with his drone and does like these insane Alaskan stuff. Okay, I've seen that.

I've seen his work. Yeah, it's very, very good. Quite the photographer guy. Podcaster, too. And he's also, he did the, they were in charge of the charity thing you and I did last year for, um. Yeah. For no, what's the name of the show? I give him a, I give him a pimp if I could remember the damn show.

It's called the don't take any guff pot. Nope, it's the shit. I don't know what it is. I forgot the name. It's good, though. He's been good. Sorry, Amos. It's so good.

You don't want to miss it. He's not in the chat, so I can't clear this up. Anyway, so there you have it. Congratulations to our winners. You're both winners in my book. Winner, winner, chicken dinner. And especially to Brian Dunaway, who tomorrow will be forced to sit down with me and talk about duck tails.

Why? Woo! Because that's the video game. And moreover, the history of, like, of Capcom and their work with Disney. Yeah. because it's an interesting path that all took. It is. And a lot of people see that as like the moment of,

okay, they're going to have a long, fruitful relationship until they don't. Which also has an interesting twist to it. So anyway, we're going to cover that. There are a lot of people who really, really like the NES Duck Tales game.

Does it hold up? And then there's people like me. And then there's people like you. I kid. I love it. Yeah. So that's tomorrow on another episode of Play Retro. Get that wherever you.

you get your podcast. Brian Dunaway, is there anything else you'd like to tell us about or say? Yeah, I'll be playing duck tails tonight at 6 p.m. Eastern Time on the Twitch channel. I'm Brian Dunaway. I just went to get a drink and spilled halfway down my front. So I'm just... What is your problem today with spilling drinks? I don't know. You almost spill a tea? I almost spilled this tea on my keyboard, which would have been a total nightmare delay of show problem. I would have to go get another keyboard. So that didn't happen. But Then this one, I can actually aim the bottle at my face and went to the side. And it poured down my front.

It's good stuff. Bye, Brian. All right. He's out of here. We're going to take a break. When we come back, our good pal Steven Schleiker will swing on by. I'm going to have a little chat with him. And he may have an opinion on the Will Smith, Chris Rock thing.

I don't know. He's not much of an award show guy, but... I know he'll have an opinion on the modding the Marvel pinball game. Oh, he definitely will have that. I guarantee that. And also, if you're like me, when you see Timothy Shalameh, all I see is the kid that once did Xbox 360 mods in 2008 on YouTube. Did he really? Because that's what he used to do.

And I still, it's very hard for me to separate those two images. So I just see this like young, you know, early high school dork. Yeah. And yet he's, you know, he's young Atreides is going to save the world and Iraqis, etc. from the evil empires, you know? Right. He's going to go, uh, f a peach. He's going to call me by your name.

Or an apricot. Sorry, apricot. Apricot. Yeah, we got to get up. Call me by your name jurists out there that are just about to type an email to me. Yeah, save your, save your ones and zeros for another time, everybody. That's right. All right, Brian, let's take a break.

When we come back, all that, let's do a song. What do you got over there? Yeah. Uh, this one goes out to Dennis, who emailed me and emailed the artist to get permission. Super cool. This is a performer who goes by the name Autumn Sky Hall. She's a non-Berry, a non-binary. She's also a non-Berry and queer folk artist from California.

She began a writing, eventually touring at 15, and then a few years ago, 2005, released her EP called Dominiv Petit and All Witches and Singing, an album, just right out of high school. Absolutely amazing. This is her favorite song that she's written today. It's to date. It's called My Anxious Brain and My Broken Heart. She and the band are currently practicing up for recording sessions around town to keep the creativity alive, working on the next musical chapter in her life. Here is Autumn Sky Hall with My Anxious Brain and My Broken Heart. Called to meet the covered door

She took its place To commiserate And I would have bet it should have been But I've never been so happy to be wrong Sit my anxious brain To my broken heart I can't move forward When you're on your guard

How am I supposed to love Even open up And I can't work When I get in this state Yeah Can't wait until I graduate I'm trying to protect you. I've seen the hurt and I don't want it to continue.

I'm trying to do. What I need to do. And honey, yeah, I'm trying to do. To do that too, I'm trying to do. Do that too. I'm trying. To do that too, I'm tried. To do that, John Ariola's employees are supposed to sell license plates and handle other business for Metro government. But when News Channel 5 Investigates made a surprise visit here behind the blue curtain, inside the employee break room,

this is what we found Metro employees playing slot machines. So is this real money? No, no, no, no, no. You need to eat the burger. Don't you want to eat the burger? This is the morning stream, and we're going to need a bigger boat. Sorry, my mic seat. This is the problem. That's mixer stuff right there. Anyway, yes, it's my damn mixer again. It's because I usually, if I'm muted, I can tell that I'm muted, right?

But now, it's all stupid. I hate it. Anyway, hey, sorry about that. Hey, Brian, who is that again? Yes. That is Autumn Sky Hall, who pronouns, she, her, they, them with a brand new song, My Anxious Brain and My Broken Heart, check her out online. Okay, now, real quick, clarification, speaking of Claire and clarification, Claire.

A clairification. When I said that if you dated Timothy Shalameh, that you would crush him, I meant nothing other than he's made of kindling. You're fine. All the girlfriends are fine. It's him. It's he will break. because it doesn't matter who you are.

He's a little tiny, thinly boy. Take my Irish lass's name out of your mouth, Scott Johnson. I love that the only way that we knew any of what was said is because the Japanese and the Australians don't censor. Right, exactly, because of other markets where they didn't... Yeah, they don't censor over there. They don't care. They're like, whatever, you Americans are going to say what you're going to say.

Bring it up. Yeah. All right. What are we doing now? Oh, Stephen, that's what's up. Now I'm all screwed up from this. Okay, here we go. I'm fan.

All right, here we go. Major spoilers. He's on his way. He's sitting there waiting patiently. Cool, cool. He has things to say. Oh, they didn't censor it in Ireland either, Claire says. Oh, no, Ireland.

Or Ireland didn't? Well, of course not. They shouldn't. They're all excited about Belfast being nominated for a bunch of stuff. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Belfast. You guys got to be in for that. You got your Dairy Girls Season 3 trailers out now.

It's right. Pretty cool. So excited for that. By the way, I did not realize Belfast was semi-autobiographical. I always thought that Kenneth Brunau was from London, like or from, you know, from... I did before this. I absolutely did as well. I had no idea.

Yeah. Yeah. That was, he was that little kid growing up and semi-autobiographical. His dad going off to London to work and... Somebody said yesterday it made me laugh. They said, um, he, it's some kind, it must be some sort of slight that he got, nominated for a screenplay that has nothing to do with Shakespeare after a career of doing nothing but Shakespeare. And then losing to King Richard.

Yeah. Oh, geez. All right. Sorry. Beating King Richard in that category, but yeah. Sorry, Kenneth Brenna. Bernag? You put the... You don't pronounce the G.H. Kenneth Brenna. Right. Brenna? Brenna. Well, let's last, let's ask this guy. Stephen Schleiker. Stephen Schleiker. Hey, Steven Schleiker, thanks for holding. How are you? Oh, hi, Scott. Hi, Brian. Hi. Nice to out here. How would you pronounce his name?

It's Branagh, right? Brana. Brana? Okay. Did I, what did I say? Did I say something different when I... I thought you said it right. Bramon or something? I don't know. Doesn't matter. Maybe I put the emphasis on the wrong syllable. Maybe. I thought you said it the right way, and then Claire was fixing us. So, who knows. Oh, did I put an R? Did I see an R? Kenneth Branar?

Brannar. No, I so did not. Really? Oh, God. Bernard. Maybe as, you know, a little New York thing there. Brenar, you know. Or even the British. They put a lot of ours on things that don't belong there. Well, anyway, speaking of a guy that puts ours where they don't belong, it's

Steven Schleiker. Just kidding. You have an R in your name, and it's fine. Oh, hi, hi, Scott. He belongs in there. Steven Schleika. Schleika. It's good to have you back.

I wonder, I mean, you're not, I think you're like me. You're not really an award show watcher. I don't watch awards shows anymore. Would you think about all that last night? It was pretty nutty. I was about to go to bed and then Twitter exploded. I was like, okay, let me see what was up. No, you crack me up, sir, because when the punch happened, the first tweet I saw was your

gif of the guy going, time for go to bed or whatever. And I thought, this is the greatest use you've ever made of that gift. It was incredible. I was literally getting ready to go to bed when that happens. Yeah, that timing was impeccable, sir. But then, you know, you had a few things to say, and I agree with you, your whole take. Like the joke is bad? It was assault.

Number one, it was assault. Chris Rock could press charges if he desires. I don't think he will. And there will nothing to happen of this beyond a lot of people clucking their tongues and wagging their fingers. Now, the other thing that a people, a lot of people have jumped on me about was a comedian should stop punching down. And some people are like, oh, no, he was just roasting a celebrity. That's totally different. It's like, no.

The thing is, it moves beyond humor when you're actually making fun. fun of somebody who has an illness or a disability. It's like me coming on and making jokes about Brian's wife. That would be totally. Yeah, it would be completely inappropriate. And so I totally agree with this standpoint, by the way. I still think there's some question about whether he knew it or not. And I'm not, this isn't me trying to back him.

I just don't know if he knew. Yeah. Because the other thing is there's a good chance Chris Rock didn't even write that joke. The Oscars have writers. And there are people backstage during the live show that are just like, here's a one off that he can use feed it out to him i put it up on the teleprompter and he's just reading what's off yeah these are these are you know it may not necessarily be his fault yeah and this is the reason to bring all this up it's always complicated in ways that we don't even know about

and so i think it's important at least look at it from that perspective or to have as critical thinking as possible i'm not saying chris rock should or shouldn't do whatever chris rock does but who knows you know and because we don't know it's easy to make you know jump to conclusions it's also fun to watch it half the people think it's fake half the people think it's real and then have those two people try to get along as first i first i thought that maybe it was that as well yeah uh until you watch who was sitting behind um will smith lapita um oh yes you just look at her face and at first he's kind of smiling and laughing and then he's like you know uh take my wife's name out of your eff and mouth and you just see her just like oh no this ain't a joke and you

just see her going okay this is this is dead serious yeah things go went full jerry springer for a bit there for a hot minute who was it Lucille Ball the what can't think we're name Nicole Kidman Nicole Kidman her reaction was

totally like she was at a show like she was just like oh I think a lot of people at first were like it was totally a thing yeah so it's real it's real dumb it's all anyone's going to talk about even next year

it's all roll around again and people are going to be like oh what will happen this year and then we're all going to be sick of it but hey, this is what you get when you live in a world of people who get pissed to each other. So, forget about all that. Did any of your

movies that you wanted to win, win, or did you have any of? I really wasn't even paying attention to any of them. I saw several. No, I didn't. I really didn't. I mean, what's the one that I just watched that was up? I can't even remember. It was one of the movies was up the other day. And I was like, oh, that's a really good one. I think

Brian recommended it. Dakota? Yeah. No. No, I wish I would have watched that one. That one, when it first debuted on Apple Plus, it's like, I think I want to watch this and then a bunch of other things. You can still watch it. It's still there. Yes. It is still there. I kind of wish I had watched it before

the Oscars, though. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, we'll we got time. Stephen, you and I, we can commiserate and watch it. I mean, I've seen Doon, so I mean, there you go. There's that. Yeah, and Dune's awesome. And Dune, I love when a genre film wins a bunch of shit. That's what I care about the most of this world. So good job.

For sure. Genre film. All right. Let's dive into a couple of weird things. I guess there's a supernatural prequel coming, and by supernatural, I mean the WB show with the two brothers. The CW show. Yeah, or CW, sorry. You say WB? What year is it? Is there a WB? Is there? I mean, who knows after this merger is finally complete? Yeah, what's my age again? Anyway. I hear they're trying to sell that off or split it off or whatever.

Oh, they are? I didn't know that. Yeah, I think so, yeah. You don't, is it not profitable to them or something? They don't want it? Well, I would have to go back and look at some numbers, but the Flash was one of their highest rated shows, one of their most popular shows. And their budget per episode was like $3 million. And I think they were making somewhere around $5 million per episode in ad sales. Yeah. So it was profitable. I'm not, I'm sure it's, it's not an issue about profitability.

I'll have to go back and I'll send you guys some stuff that I saw about them spinning it off, especially in the, with the announcement last week that they've already pre-approved, like, six shows for new seasons next year and that was and that was like oh this seems highly surprising that cw did this considering that they are potentially going to be sold off to some other group in the next six months and this whole thing is going to be like negan and whoever he was married to uh it's their story right the dad and the mom before yeah so in the supernatural the show that ran 14 seasons they're doing the prequel called the winchesters with meg donnelly and drake roger And this is how did they first meet up before, you know, they had kids and she died and the father went missing and all that stuff. Right.

So they're going to, we're going to have this will be set in a different time, I assume, probably. It most definitely will because the father, the Drake, Roger, he has just come back from Vietnam in the story. Oh, interesting. You know what? I like supernatural what I saw. I saw maybe two, three seasons of it. And it's a good time for a CW show. it's a good time.

It's less about pretty people and more about kind of X-Filesy sort of week-to-week stuff and I enjoyed it. Obviously, it was a huge hit and lasted forever like a million seasons

of that show. Yeah, 14 seasons, yeah. It went on forever. It was a really long one. Yeah. So I have to admit, I have a little interest in this,

a little bit, this much. I have never seen a single episode of Supernatural. I'm waiting for us to do one, like a watch-long episode for film set. Well, we're bound to find something

in there, I'm sure we are, yeah. Yeah, there's got to be something bad. I think I've watched three or four episodes of the first season, and I'm like, oh, okay, I get the, I get the set up. You get the, just of what it is. Yeah, right. It is a little rinse.

It's a little rinse repeat, for sure. They kind of do the same stuff over and over, but. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And I agree, that Jensen Eccles guy, good looking man. No question. He's on the boys now. So let's see how that goes.

Oh, okay. I know the other guy was from Lost. It was, uh, uh, Shannon's brother. No, different guy. You're thinking of the guy from Not pretty little liars The Vampire Show that CW had I know why you're mixing them up

Because they look identical Oh really? Yeah The one The other one Oh He was on He was on the Gilmore Girls for a long time

It was Dean Okay Shit Someone in the chat Remember his name I know You all know Shows I haven't watched

For 400 hours I can't remember his name Boone. Boone is the actor. Let's see. Ian Summerholder. No, that's definitely not him on Supernatural.

Jared. Jared Speckalecky. Wait. Oh, Jared Pellecki. Spackahoochee. Patalecki. That's Sam Winchester. There you go.

So it's him and Jensen Eccles were the brothers. Yeah, Vampire Diaries is totally what I was thinking of, apparently. Okay. All right. Well. Yeah, they look the same, Brian. I know. Isn't it pretty people with supernatural stuff going on that they're.

They're identical sexy boys. is what those two guys are. Well, anyway, that's coming. We don't know much else, right? We just know that premise. No, that's all we know is the premise. All right, now the one I'm really interested in. Live action Voltron.

Tell me more. Oh, man. If you can't get enough of your giant robots, Kaiju monster action, it looks like DreamWorks is going to be bringing the Voltron series to a live action series to a Netflix subscription near you. Oh, there's one right here then.

Right by me. My TV plays the Netflix. subscription. Yeah. Do we know anything about cast or anything? All we know is that it just started pre-production in the writing stage. And so we'll see how far it moves. Oftentimes you can even get the entire series written or several scripts written and they can still say, no, we're not going to do this and pass on it. But the animated Voltron series was very popular on Netflix. So it would not surprise me that they go ahead and give a green light to the live action. First thing my daughter says in the chat is Murray better be in it.

She's referring to Rees, Dave, what's his name? Rees, um, shit. The, what we do in the shadows werewolf, Murray from, uh,

Rees, Darby. Yeah. Uh, because he's, he's in the animation. I doubt, yeah,

I doubt he's, yes. I doubt he's, but I do love it to start watching that. I hear so many good things about it. I will be interested in your, your take on that, Brian,

because I, you know, I see what they're doing and it's, it's interesting, but I got like, three episodes in and I was like, I think I'm checking out. Really? Wow. Okay. Interesting.

And that's easy before Tycho Watiti shows up in it. Yeah. Wow. Oh, so he's not even really in the first three episodes. No. Takedi's Blackbeard or where he's. He plays Blackbeard, yeah. Yeah. And he's producer on this showrunner, right?

Mm-hmm. That's the deal. If you want to see a really good, if you want to see a really good Taika Watiti produced show, it just won a bunch of Golden Globes or at least one Golden Globe. It's the series about the, it's a reservation dog. That show is excellent I still haven't seen it I need to watch that one

That's on Hulu right I think it's on Hulu Yeah I'll finally check that out That's excellent yeah It's got that guy that I love From Fargo season 2 I can't think of his name though

He's also in that Doctor Sleep He was Crow Oh the guy with the mustache Right The indigenous person guy He played Hansi and Fargo

I can't think of his name He's amazing, though. I love that guy. He can watch him do anything. Well, that's cool. So big giant robots, lots of CG, I assume. I would hope so. Hopefully.

Or that or actually, well, it would be better if they did it and it was just, you know, somebody in a cardboard suit fighting a little bit monster against the whole foam core city laid out before them. That would be awesome. When I was a kid, I thought Voltron was the single coolest thing that could ever happen ever to anything. And now I see it for what it was, which is a little bit. It's silly, but the Netflix, recent Netflix animated stuff is very good.

Yeah. And there's no reason why they can't do it justice. So let's see. Let's see how you guys do. Steve, anything else going on in major spoilers we could tell the people about? They could follow. Let's see. There was something I was going to mention.

Oh, last week on Finally Friday, which you can catch over on our Twitch channel, Twitch.tv.tv. We did a whole Tolkien reading day where we sat down and actually read a quick little short paragraph. from the Similar Illian, and we talked about how that will play out in the upcoming Rings of Power series over on Amazon, and it filled up the whole half hour, and people were really into it, because Ashley has a really deep knowledge of all things, hobbitses, and people should go check that out. It was a lot of fun. I guess I never knew the answer to this, but this Rings of Power show. Is it primarily based on things from that tome? No, because apparently Warner Brothers is still arguing that they have all the rights to it. So it's like footnotes and other notes that were not in that book is what supposedly the rings of power is based on. Interesting. Okay. I actually kind of more excited about that because I don't really want to retread of anything.

I wouldn't mind. Well, it takes place during the second age. So the only thing that you're going to see is the rings have already been forged supposedly at this time. And so you'll see how Soron is corrupting the kings of man. how people are rising up to fight him. It should be very much Game of Thronesy in that aspect. I'm pretty excited because look, the rings that went to the elves, fine, whatever. The rings that go to the dwarf kings, that's fine. The ones that went to the humans, those guys are effed.

Yeah, that's what they said. That's the stuff that I want to see. I want to see these kings of men get corrupted by the ring and how Soron is manipulating them behind the scenes and everything. I just think that's going to be awesome. I'm legit excited. I'm actually really, they've thrown so much money at this production. it's either going to be a glorious thing or a terrible nightmare. And I believe it's been renewed for a season two even before the first one air.

That's usually a good sign. Because if the money people are confident, the money people are rarely confident. So that's good. Well, all right then. This has been, as always, enlightening, fun, and good to be hanging out with you. And people make sure you go to major spoilers.com. Follow them on Twitter at major spoilers.

Oh, my God. After spending a week in the hospital, I left with a few stints in some now unblocked arteries and instructions on diet changes and more exercise. While I was in hospital and during my recovery, you guys continued to provide a distraction and certainly to me in an uncertain time, something you've done for the past seven or so years. I'd like to thank my wife and family, the staff at Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth, and all of the Tadpool, Frog Pants, family, for helping me get through this. Man.

I will hand it over to Brian to choose a heart cover. Ha! Cheers. James. Nice. I see he's got a sense of humor about it. So what he did there? James, we are so glad you're still with us, and we will continue to make you laugh for years to come.
