Starting point is 00:00:00 Remember that time that Ripley warned everyone that the alien was going to kill everybody? We do. Ripley also said, make sure you sign up to support the morning stream at patreon.com slash TMS. I'd listen to Ripley. Coming up on the morning stream, Better Dick Cumberbatch. Giant frog bond. The brain is the window to the colon. I need this finger for my mouse and this one for driving.
Starting point is 00:00:23 No Lieutenant Yars revenge. Pulling the Dunaway in. Never go to Crystal Gale's house for soup. Ew. Guy Piercings. Mine cousin. Gah, Linda. Going full Nicole with Scott. Hot chocolate munchies.
Starting point is 00:00:36 Oh, Canada. Your health care shines on the... Maple rhymes with snow. I would really have liked a hot dog. That's all I'm saying. And more on this episode of The Morning Stream. I did more. But I did better.
Starting point is 00:00:51 Oh, give me a break. Wait a second. Is there anybody here who knows what Jesus said? Feel like I've died and gone to New York. T.M.S. D.M.S. D. M.S.S. D. The morning stream. They're coming to get you, Barbara. There's one of them now. Hello, everybody, and welcome to TMS. It is the morning stream for November 24th, 2025. We have just a few days left until Thanksgiving here in the States. We do. Yeah. the turkey is thawing in the fridge right now you guys hosting again this year we are smaller group because um most of well all of george's daughters um have moved out of the state so oh right um mattie and jared moved to uh Arizona um jacky and carolina are in texas and then rainy who i've been doing the the youtube show with is out in new york although
Starting point is 00:01:59 She's been so busy with school studying and she got an understudy. She's going to be an understudy in a midsummer night's dream, which is so cool. Oh, cool. Do we know the actor? She's working under? No. Nope. They're all higher level students at her at her acting school.
Starting point is 00:02:18 Right. That makes sense. Yeah. But so we haven't been able to record a show in the last two weeks. So I need to get a need to actually just this week. We did one last week. It was just this weekend. We have been able to do one, but still, we need to do a catch-up and see how things are going.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Well, that's awesome. But because they're all, they've all moved away, Barb is getting foot surgery two days before, so she's not, she's not going to be able to get up and move around. So it's really just going to be Tina and me, my mom, Tina's mom, and my aunt, Diane, and her husband, Jim. It's the perfect sitcom situational comedy. It's right. Yes. That's great. Did she hurt her? Is this from her foot when she wiped out on the bike or is something totally different?
Starting point is 00:03:02 Something else. She's had this problem for a while. Gotcha. And I'm hoping she's not able to put any weight on it for two months. Oh my gosh. I know. Like, can you think about that? Like, all of a sudden, you are laid up in bed or at least not able, like, you know, on a roll, one of those rolling chairs. Basically, it's going to be, I think, two weeks of, nope, you are, you are. recovering in bed immobile whatever and then after that two months of no weight on your foot can she put
Starting point is 00:03:35 can she do it with those knee ones you see the people the ones the roll yeah the little rolly things yes oh okay have one of those those aren't after after two weeks but they have a they have a um a try level house and only the kitchen and the living room on the main level everything else is on a different level so bedrooms bedrooms no bathrooms on the main level oh that's hard if you can't put any weight on anything geez so they're just gonna keep her upstairs uh fridge uh work from home all that stuff so all right well good luck to her that sucks it does sucks so anyway a smaller group for us uh this year thank goodness yeah i actually kind of like it when it's a little i do i do too tight you know Ours is like that too.
Starting point is 00:04:19 I think it's just me, Kim, Carter. I think Alicia's coming because her family's out of town. And we get everybody in the morning. We're going to do like a brunch thing Thursday morning with all the kids. Everybody will be there. But then later in the night, it's their year to go to the in-laws. So we don't get Taylor. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:38 So they, yeah, they win because they get breakfast and dinner. Is Alicia not living there anymore? Well, she's still here. So she'll be with us. Yeah. Her, she'll usually do stuff with her family. here, but most of them are in the Netherlands right now. Oh, gotcha.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Okay. So she'll be eating with us on Thursday. Okay. Well, it'll be nice. Yeah, that's a good, that's a good size group. Basically, what you want in a group size for Thanksgiving meal is something within the number of players of a board game. Oh, I like that. You want to be able
Starting point is 00:05:10 to say, hey, let's clear the table and play some settlers of Catan, or let's, more of this case. Let's clear the table and play some code names. because everybody, everybody could do code names. Everybody loves code names. Just keep the adult version on the shelf. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 00:05:25 Yeah. Don't be doing that in mixed company. Yeah, it is. I think I need to invest in a new version of code names because we, I mean, we've gone through those existing ones so many times. Oh, yeah, ours is beat to crap. We probably ought to get one of the new themed ones. I don't know what's good right now.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Yeah. Because they do stuff with everybody, pretty much. They do, yeah. Let's look real quick Not going to do Marvel Marvel as much as I'd like to get the Marvel Cot names Won't be fair to everybody else
Starting point is 00:05:58 There's nobody else Not fair Let's see code names duet What's code names duet? I don't know I just saw that Top Secret duet I don't know what that means Something with two players or something for two players
Starting point is 00:06:12 So you can finally play code names Oh if it's just two of you okay. Yeah. Code names. Second edition. There we go. But that's sold out, it looks like, on Amazon.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Yeah, that was, they're all prepping for what we're talking about. Yeah, exactly. Oh, my God. What can I do to keep my family distracted so they don't talk about politics? Yeah. Anything. And then they pull out code names politics. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:06:39 What have you done? Everybody's suggesting Dixit. Well, not everybody. Amy is suggesting Dixit. it's funny because when you said that I just scroll to it and it is currently on a Black Friday special for 2699. I don't know what that
Starting point is 00:06:54 even is. Let's see. Imagine the award winning game of imagination, creativity and storytelling, family fun for kids and adults, three to six players, 30 minute playtime. Let's see here. This is one I'm pretty sure Dan told us about.
Starting point is 00:07:11 He probably did. Yeah, but early on. Yeah. I question everything now. After that limitless thing, I don't know if anything's true anymore. The other players choose the card in their hand that best fits the clue. The storyteller's card is shuffled with the player's cards. Then all the chosen cards are revealed. Players secretly vote on which one is the storyteller's card.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Then the scoring begins. So it's kind of like an apples to apples kind of thing. Yeah, kind of a jackbox game. Or cards against humanity, right, where you figure out a card based. on or vote on what you think is the best card in this case the storyteller's card maybe that's not bad sounds all right i've got a stack of things we still have to play i don't need new ones i've got i just got to play something we got Tina Tina will seriously cut a part of my body off by another board game yeah what's what part does she go for first well she'd probably do my finger because if i
Starting point is 00:08:10 don't have this finger i can't use a mouse so it's a good point you can get away with a middle finger, but that doesn't feel right at all. No, no. I'm trying that now. No, I need that to drive. Yeah. Man, none of us can drive without our middle fingers. No, we need that. Exactly. Hey, asshole. Hey, jerk. Oh, no, I've only got this one. Imagine this is my middle finger. That's right. And it's pointed at you.
Starting point is 00:08:35 This kind of works, but not really. Well, it's lovely to see you all. I did have a quick recommendation before we pull Dunaway in, and that is this. Um, the, I went last year to the lantern festival here in Salt Lake City. It's like this, uh, Christmasy, but not, it's not exclusively Christmas. This is just when they do it. It doesn't have Christmas stuff other than there are some Christmas lights, but they're not, it's not meant to be Christmas themed. Right.
Starting point is 00:09:03 It's more like this gigantic, um, aquarium place that you go all around year to see actual animals and, and fish and all this. Um, they, they do this thing in the winter months where they just, the entire outside area, which is pretty big. They just fill with these lantern-like sculptures of big animals, insects, lizards, just whatever. And they have one place that's like, oh, this is like the Amazon River. So all of these creatures along this little river bed are all the kind you would see in the Amazon. And they're all animatronic. Their wings kind of flap.
Starting point is 00:09:41 There's a huge frog out on a giant lily pad that seriously, the frog's as big as a bus. and it just is up there like puffing smoke. He looks like he stoned. I did a video about this. He saw the, it looks like you smoking a bong or something. He looks like a giant frog bong. But then there's bubble machines everywhere.
Starting point is 00:10:00 And we took the little one. We took Ramona to it. And she just was out of her mind. She could not believe how cool this place was. Like as a little kid, I can't imagine how overwhelming it is. It's just so lit up and big and everything. So it was crazy.
Starting point is 00:10:12 We had one that they did here. that it's cool it's the same kind of thing I saw from your video but it's like that kind of semi-transparent material draped over wire frames with lights inside it
Starting point is 00:10:26 to just really light things up really well and ours was because it was in the fall was more fall themed than anything else but also Chinese zodiac oh that's cool
Starting point is 00:10:37 yeah so they had each of the Chinese zodiac animals represented with a different one So everyone was like going up and standing in front of the one that applied to their year. Oh, that's awesome. I love that. That's a great way.
Starting point is 00:10:51 I kind of wish they had integrated some of that. But like you see here in this video, just massive stuff. Yeah. The animals themselves are just crazy huge. That frog, you can't really tell right there how big that is, but it's freaking massive. Yeah. I don't know who actually does the work for it, but the tickets aren't bad. It's not like this is exorbitant.
Starting point is 00:11:11 It was like 18 bucks for adults. and then she was she gets in free the baby did anybody under five i think gets in free something like that and um anyway it was really cool so if you're in the valley and you're like i need something cool to do for my kids and they're all younger than five and you want to do something that's kind of super cheap if your kids are young it was rad super into it so and they've really up their game this year last year it was pretty cool here's a part where i thought there was blood i didn't like i know it looks like yeah something but i like the uh the discise floor like the Saturday night fever they give kids crazy stuff to jump on and weird little
Starting point is 00:11:48 pads that light up and it's just it's just cool that's cool my only beef is they only had the only food vendor type things if you're getting munchy is they had hot chocolate and that's it and I would really have liked a hot dog is all I'm saying yeah I'm surprised uh ours had man ours worked with a local barbecue place so they had uh they had like four food stands a smoothie cart and then a hot cocoa, hot coffee place. Yeah, ours was less cool. But they sold like little wire almost like the lanterns without their skins, but they were
Starting point is 00:12:26 small sculptures. But everything in there was $25 or more and I'm like, you guys, you're trying to do to me here. This is freaking ridiculous. Anyway, really good time and you can go check it out. It's the Salt Lake Aquarium, I think, is all that's called. And you'll know it because there's that huge robot looking thing out front. I'm still not even sure what that is. I don't know what that thing is, but there's a gigantic. It's just always there. It's just always there. Okay. Yeah. And then when I say Big Brian, it's like an alien landed and it's filled with a thousand
Starting point is 00:12:55 aliens. It's huge. Really? Okay. I don't even know what it is. Someone in the chat, maybe if Kevin's listener, somebody can tell me what the hell that thing's called, but it is absolutely crazy. Wow. It was neat, though. We had a good time. Let's have even a cooler time when I hit this button here. Oh, that didn't have volume to it. Let's try that again. here we go well well if isn't our old pal brian denouye joining us for a little game what's going on man no hi scott and brian i'm just sitting over here wishing for more time more time to spend with my family more time to spend with my friends more time to spend with those unlabeled atari 2,600 carts have been going through just more time i saw you're you're partially torn
Starting point is 00:13:42 G.I. Joe cartridge there is like, all right, that looks like fun. Did you, so have you been able to determine everything yet, or are you still going through them? You're just still... Oh, no, I still got like about 30 more carts that been labeled Atari 2,600 charts I've got to go through. Did you get a box
Starting point is 00:13:58 of them from somebody? I did. I got a couple of, why I bought a couple of lots. Do they smell like the New Mexico desert? Oh, they smell like everything. This looks like probably a bigger collector was probably just buying carts and bulk and it was just like i'm not messing with this and just chunking them in there you haven't found
Starting point is 00:14:16 an et cartridge though right no ets in there oh yeah i found a couple of et you did absolutely oh really okay oh that's awesome i was hoping you'd get a relic like that i've had some really good stuff over the weekend like the classic stuff like kuber defender uh you know just uh the original pacman the kuber the 2600 cubort uh port you know because kuber really doesn't require a lot Cuber port was actually pretty good. Exactly all right. Well, it's a bad. It's not bad. Yeah, it's not bad.
Starting point is 00:14:45 And unlike Pac-Man and half the others, most of the others, almost all the others, they're all kind of terrible ports. The worst one, the worst offender, in my opinion, is Pac-Man. But there is this, if you got, did you get a Yars of revenge in there or no Yars revenge? It's on my list. I actually created a Google, I've created a Google Sheets. I'm kind of going through and seeing what I want and hoping for. So it makes the even more fun where I'm going through.
Starting point is 00:15:07 I'm like, oh, let's don't be on the list. Let's find. You know, that's a clean each one of the carts. Yeah. Yeah. You have to blow them? Is that what you're doing, blowing them cards? Well, first, I go down the progression.
Starting point is 00:15:18 I first, I look, and then I blow and I go, that's a regret because now I've got spider's a spider carcass in my face. Yeah. And then I'll usually use, like, in a magic eraser, and I'll get in there with some high-level isoproval alcohol. And then I got some deoxet, which kind of takes off the corrosion and stuff. So then I try it, put in there. If it works, celebrate.
Starting point is 00:15:39 great. Yeah. So is this public somewhere where you could like show it off? Oh yeah, on YouTube. I did three hours of it on Saturday. Nice. People love that. That's like a form of unboxing right there. You've done well. He kind of is. Yeah. It's like, what will we get? I don't know. Well, today's like that a little bit. We don't know what these winners are going to get today. But Brian Ibbott here is going to explain the game and what they might get. Brian, take it away. I'll tell you. I'll tell you. Welcome to the morning half ass is a trivia game where I'm actually going to be giving you the answers. I'm give scott and brandy category and six possible answers three of which are correct and three like not offering more than hot cocoa at your lantern festival are incorrect depending on how
Starting point is 00:16:19 confident they feel with the category they can provide one two or three guesses but if any of those guesses are wrong you get zero points for that round one right gets you a point two right gets you three points and three right gets you five points because it's the fibinopchi sequence right there uh if you get all let's see we're going to add up all those points at the end of the game and uh the player with the most points wins a prize for their contestant and contestants will be pulled from members of the Tadpool that aren't able to be here live. Scott, you're playing for Cameron
Starting point is 00:16:46 Dix. Yeah, Cameron Dix. He sounds like you should write detective novels in the 40s. It does, totally, right. And Brian, you're playing for John Van Cedars. Oh, I think everything is better if you throw a van in the middle name there. I think so too. Yeah. Totally agree. By the way, yesterday was Fibonacci
Starting point is 00:17:02 Day, 1123. The best one would be 11-23-58, I think. And so 20-58, it's going to be a real party. Oh, yeah. I'm looking forward to it. Yeah, we won't be able to move much. We're going to need to be on our own non-multi-level houses at that point.
Starting point is 00:17:20 That's right, exactly. All right, cool. Anyway, all right, let's get to the game here. Let's get to, oh, have I even, I've not even launched it. I'm sorry. Here we go. We're still waiting for host to count the coins, whatever that means. Is that what it says?
Starting point is 00:17:33 Yeah, it says count the coins. Is that a, that's one. I like it. Does he put different ones in there? Counting the coins. All right, here we go. Now you've got it. Yeah. Question number one, this is, I don't
Starting point is 00:17:48 know what you'd call this. World History. So, yay. Things that Canada has according to Oh, Canada. So according to the list of, Oh, Canada. With your
Starting point is 00:18:04 all your stuff. Vending money. Machines. Anyway, which of these things are found in the lyrics of O Canada? Mountains capped with snow, great prairies, bounteous harvests, pines and maples, shining skies, and courteous sons and daughters. Which of these things are found in, oh, Canada. Gosh, God. Dang it, dude. I feel bad for not knowing.
Starting point is 00:18:27 Or are you still out going and getting your snacks before the hockey game starts? With mountains capped with snow. I mean, it kind of goes with the song. Everything sounds right. Turtious sons and daughters and lots of Broadway shows. Our Canadian listeners are going to laugh
Starting point is 00:18:47 at us. They are. I'm going cautious here. I don't know. In that case, you don't know what that means exactly, do you, Brian? Okay, you both
Starting point is 00:19:03 locked in. I'm taking the safe bed. Okay. All right. Let's look at what you guys chose individually, because you actually did pair up on one of them, but you each chose. Let's see. Brian, you chose shining skies. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:17 Yeah. Canada does have shining skies. Yes. Skies rhymes with a lot of things, too. It does. That's easy. That was kind of a safe. When they say shining, what do they mean, though?
Starting point is 00:19:27 What does that mean? Shining. Like the sun is shining, I guess. Okay. But the skies of themselves shouldn't shine. No. I think if your skies are shining, you ought to get that looked at. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:38 What do you pitch black? Scott, you chose great prairies. Canada does have great prairies. That's what I've heard. Probably rhymes with skies. No, that doesn't rhyme. And then both of you chose mountains capped with snow. And that's a big fat no.
Starting point is 00:19:57 Damn it. I almost didn't go down to what I said. Pines and maples. pines and maples is the It's so specific It really is Yeah It's like hey you want to mention
Starting point is 00:20:09 The exact trees we have in our song Totally And it's not like maples rhymes with a lot of stuff So the snow rhymes a lot better So uh Zero points going in around two But guess what? It's like a category made for you guys
Starting point is 00:20:23 All right Which of these six are teenage mutant ninja turtle villains Oh villains Your choices are I thought it was ready to go I was like yeah Bebop Kahn
Starting point is 00:20:33 Orukusaki, Quilp, Crang, and Sirtu. Three of these are actual teenage mutant jet turtle villains. Oh my gosh. I know one immediately and the rest is for some reason not working for me. I did three. Oh, you're going to kick my ass. I'm not a big turtle's knowledge guy. I like them, but I don't know a lot of lore and stuff. You're going to lock in there. There you go. Oh, I'm sorry. I was going to put on you. Okay. Apologies.
Starting point is 00:21:03 apologies. All right. Let's get the easy one out of the way. Of course, Bebop. Yes. Bebop. Bebop, easy. What is he?
Starting point is 00:21:10 Yeah, I think rhino. Did he have glasses? Uh, maybe. So rhino and beep, was it rhino and bebop? No. Bebop and. Bebop was a rhino, wasn't he? Oh, right, right, right.
Starting point is 00:21:22 The other guy was called. The other guy's not on here. The one he hung out with. And his name was. Cowboy, cowboy, Bebop. No. It's Bebop and Rockste. That was his name.
Starting point is 00:21:34 Rock Steady, okay. And he's not in here. That makes sense, right, because those two would go together. Brian, you chose Crang. Crang is absolutely a teenage mutant turtle villain. And finally, Scott chose Sir Tzu. Yeah. Sir two.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Sir two is not. Shit! A Ninja Turtle villain. Orukusaki was the other one that is. That felt like bait. I wasn't sure. Oh, I loved that Sether song by them. It's so good.
Starting point is 00:22:02 I hear it all the time. Oh, I'm sorry. It's a different thing. Crang, I thought was a cheat or I thought that was a trick and that was some Marvel guy or something. I don't know. Not Kang. There probably is a, there probably is a crang somewhere in Marvel, I'm sure. Yeah, sounds right.
Starting point is 00:22:15 All right. So Brian going into a round three with the brains in the belly, right? Oh, and turtles? I don't know. Oh, like he had a window. He was the guy with the window in his stomach. You can see his brains or something. From the window to the colon.
Starting point is 00:22:29 Yeah. You can see his body of stomach. You know, they've always say, I always say, say the brain is the window to the colon. That's also part of the Canada song too as well. From the brains to the colon. No,
Starting point is 00:22:43 no, nah, nah, no, I love hockey. Let's get to the last one here and it's music related. If that was too easy,
Starting point is 00:22:50 well this one will be even easier. Oh, wait, no, it's not because it's country music. Oh, sure. Country music stars
Starting point is 00:22:55 who married another country music star. Your choices are. Ricky Skaggs, Kenny Chesney, Blake Shelton, Tricia Yearwood, Carrie Underwood, and Crystal Gale. I think that Chesney one is a trick.
Starting point is 00:23:14 Ricky Skaggs, holy shit. I know. Let's go way back. Oh, my gosh. I kind of need to go out here. Did you guys have Skaggs drugstores? We did, yes. I would go there and play Asteroids Deluxe and get a Coke, a bottle of Coke,
Starting point is 00:23:28 like literally glass bottles of Coke for 75 cents. Love it there. That's awesome. He gets to ride down on our bikes. Oh, man. I have fond feelings for Skaggs. I have to go three or I'm not going to compete here. So pretty sure.
Starting point is 00:23:46 I'll just, there we go. I don't know. All right. Okay. Nailed it. All right. Well, you guys both right off the bat clicked on Tricia Yearwood. Of course she is.
Starting point is 00:23:56 And she's married to? She's easy. It's Thunder Road. I can't think this name. That's right. Like a head like a canned ham, as David Leibman used to say. Garth Brooks. He does have a hand.
Starting point is 00:24:08 He did used to say that. Oh, my gosh. I love Dave. He's got a head like a canned ham. Let's see. Scott, you chose the last second. You threw Ricky Skaggs in there. You threw it Ricky Skaggs in there.
Starting point is 00:24:20 You threw a skaggs. He's married to Sharon White, who I guess is a country music star. Oh, who, Hugh. Few. Few. I did a total guess. on that. I have no idea who that is. And then the last one you guys chose was Crystal Gale.
Starting point is 00:24:35 Old school. I don't know. I have no idea. Wasn't she known for having just ridiculously stupid long hair? Her hair went all the way down to her. If I remember right, as low as her ankles at one point. As was the style at the time in country music. Well, that's why you never go to Crystal Gale's house for soup.
Starting point is 00:24:49 No. Or has to borrow her brush. No, that brush, dude. The golden brush. Do not touch it. I mean, I just feel like somebody, she just doesn't seem like somebody would just marry I don't know I don't know I hope it's right yeah of course I'm gonna tell you right now it is incorrect
Starting point is 00:25:09 sorry Blake Shelton so now Blake Shelton of course is currently married to Gwen Stefani That's what I was thinking of that He was married to Miranda Lambert Oh I didn't know that that was Trixie Who's all whose face is all kind of squish Miranda Lambert
Starting point is 00:25:25 Go to her down like this Miranda Hey just to be just to be Fair. Brian and I, me and Ibit both saw the new running man and Glenn Powell's eyes are too close together. That's all. For sure. Yeah. And that weird, he's got, uh, who's the, who's the Australian actor and Memento? Who am I thinking of? Um, that's Pierce. Guy Pearce. He has Guy Pearce mouth and chin. It's the exact same weird little protruding thing. Really weird. His smile is really weird. Glenn Powell's smile is just, it feels like a robot learning how to smile. But I'll tell you what, that dude is. is beefy. He is beefy and, you know, the naked scene, it's like, all right, fine.
Starting point is 00:26:06 You get a little bum. We get it. We get it. Glenn Powell bum for your daughter. You get a little bum, exactly. That's fun. I like that movie. Anyway, congratulations.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Go on to Brian with three points. You are a winner, which means that by proxy, John Van Cedars is going to be getting some prizes. He's going to be getting, courtesy of King Kim Azabi, Dayland Pocket Planet. and insurmountable. Oh, that's a great game. We played that done away, that mountain climbing one, remember that? Yeah, that's a rad game.
Starting point is 00:26:38 It's like a rogue like where you're trying to get better and better at climbing huge peaks. It's really cool. There you go. But don't worry, Cameron Dix, you're not going home empty-handed. You're going to get a copy of Karma City Police.
Starting point is 00:26:51 Nice. Oh, that's actually also good. The music of Radiohead. We wish, no. That would be cool if it did. That would be cool if it did, but it doesn't. But they're both great. And I would say you're all winners.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Congratulations. So congratulations to everybody involved, except maybe Dunaway. What? I'm just kidding. You won. You won today. You won. I'm going to tell you guys what I won this weekend.
Starting point is 00:27:14 What do you want? PS5 PlayStation having a Black Friday sale. Oh, yeah. No, I did win a PlayStation. I did, well, I'll tell you when I get them. I did win something that was kind of cool. Actually, my cousin won something that's kind of cool. She's giving them to me.
Starting point is 00:27:27 but uh um black friday sale with playstation mine cousin mine cousin mine cousin i'm worried there for a minute i might have just a little german well it's hungarian by by by by history but maybe there's a little german and brian could be all right anyway it's not a captain america is working for uh the red skull no he's not going to whisper in my ear later yeah oh shit brian was with them all the time No, but I did pick up a copy of, finally, Claire Obscura, Expedition 3D3 or Experiment 33, Expedition, whatever it is. Expedition, Expedition 3rd.
Starting point is 00:28:08 So I started playing that, got about half an hour into it, watch the gommage, and I'm like, okay, I'm in, I'm fully in playing this thing. And plays great on the portal, the station portal. Yeah, have you tried any of the actual Pure Cloud stuff it does now? because it'll do that's where I'm actually playing even though I bought the game it lets me play it on the portal but the question is
Starting point is 00:28:33 when I turn off the game which save place is it going to take me back to because well it should have your saves in that game I forgot how it works how's the safe system in that is it every it may have an auto save thing and then after every battle there's a save and maybe you can manually save I don't remember
Starting point is 00:28:51 I look for a manual save I didn't see one And so I'm like, well, it's early enough that at the very least, I just go back to the end of the gommage before he starts going down and talking to, you know, giving Jerome his dad's clothes and stuff like that. Sure. Yeah, you're pretty early. You're going to really like it. I mean, it is this year's, it's going to sweep all the awards. It's going to be a huge deal. That's what I saw you guys talking about on court, that it was, you know, a lot of game of the year for you guys.
Starting point is 00:29:19 So, yeah, I need to play more of it. I've only gotten two hours, but more, more time. done away I told you more time done away listen man you and I tomorrow are going to be doing a play retro
Starting point is 00:29:29 and it's exciting because of what we're covering tell the fine folks so so we asked Ubisoft what you guys got over there and they said we had this game back in 2003-ish it was called Beyond Good and Evil
Starting point is 00:29:40 you heard of it and it was like all right we'll play that yeah actually I think one of our patron supporters suggested it didn't they I think so yeah I remember the name of the game
Starting point is 00:29:50 and I think I even had it I could not even tell you what kind of gameplay it was so that's the thing is it's got all kinds of gameplay in it I was kind of the same situation I think I got it cheap for Ubisoft wherever the store was at one point in time I was like I'll play it and I started it up and I had trouble run at it and so far I would have been playing is oh my god I've missed out I've missed out it's so good you know good and evil cool yeah um I'm gonna tell Nicole something real quick be we are going to take more She's, no, she's just, I think she was confused about the start time.
Starting point is 00:30:23 She thought it was 10.20 her time. It's really a 10.30 her time, which is now where we're at. So I'm trying to see if she wants to go first because she does have an appointment at 11. I want to make sure she's cut off good. Well, Dunaway, let's do that tomorrow. Let's get together. Let's do it. Let's have the fun that we have that we have together.
Starting point is 00:30:41 And in the meantime, there's only one thing left to say, kiss our bets. Bye. Okay. Oh, got them. I'll put this in here if you can or want. All right. If she joins us, she joins us. If not, well, we're going to recommendal anyway.
Starting point is 00:30:57 All right, guys. We're having recommendals. That's the fun of it all. One other thing I'll say about your Expedition 33 experience. Yes, I can't wait. Yeah, tell me. The early story, you've gotten as far as, oh, I don't want to spoil anything here. I've gotten so far as a person vanishing before my eyes
Starting point is 00:31:17 during the gammage. Okay. So that is, yeah, that was one of the most effective, uh, scenes I've ever seen in a game. Yeah. And it does it so well because it's early on. Yeah. It's still basically tutorial time. You're not even really into the main game yet.
Starting point is 00:31:35 But they are, it was masterfully told that story of kind of origin to that that made me actually feel stuff. Like, that was crazy. I'm excited that you're going to play that. Yeah, me too. I'm loving it so far, and it's going to be good playing while Tina and are watching, well, Tina's watching something on TV. I'm just going to be sitting there next door on the couch with the portal and headphones going, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, you have fun with your housewives and I'll be playing this. That's right. All right, guys, it's time for this.
Starting point is 00:32:06 We're going to do this now. Well, what do you recommend? I'll tell you what I recommend. I recommend joining Nicole for a discussion. about things we watched and liked. Hi, Nicole, how are you? Oh, I don't hear. Unmute, Mark.
Starting point is 00:32:24 Unmute yourself. Hello. It says you're using your browser setting, which should be fine, so is Brian. Mm-hmm. Now she's changed mics to a iPhone. Hello? Is that matter?
Starting point is 00:32:38 Oh, that worked. Hello. There we go. Now we hear you. Yeah, we hear you just fine now. Is that okay? Yeah, can you hear us? I'm trying.
Starting point is 00:32:45 Yeah, yeah, yeah. trying to figure out a we have at least 10 headphones with microphones and the one pair I find the only pair I find doesn't have the plug in it
Starting point is 00:33:02 oh no scrambling I'm looking over here all I can find are like headphones from when the kids were in kindergarten that they made them use oh my gosh dude that's that probably isn't going to do for what you want to do it was a very very frantic uh scramble just to figure out if this would even work i don't even know if the headphones
Starting point is 00:33:26 i'm work like i'm actually let me see are those headphones do you hear how do you hear us yeah the headphones i have um they don't have a microphone on them oh fun everything's coming up uh everything's coming up Nicole so um so hopefully you don't get too much background noise from my phone. Nah, you're totally fine. Okay. Let's, you know what? We're going to do you first, so you can make sure you get your appointment.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Yeah, not a problem at all. Absolutely. What do you want to, you want to say anything before I said, maybe play the clip? God, what do I want to say? Yeah. Okay. This is what I, this is what I want to say. Not about what I'm going to recommend today, but what I've recommended in the past.
Starting point is 00:34:08 So it's been what, has it been four weeks since we last talked? Yeah, because I was out, I was out for a trip. So you were. Yeah, yeah. We missed that one, yeah. So I recommend it has been hotel. Only one season had come out yet. I hadn't finished the whole season.
Starting point is 00:34:25 Since we've talked, a second season has come out. I finished the whole thing. And then they have a Broadway has been hotel on Ampley. I just saw that. Yeah. It is amazing. It is so amazing. There's so much cosplay.
Starting point is 00:34:44 in the audience and I don't care I love Alistair I know he's a serial killer but I love him So hold on a second So is it like they're live action With people in costumes and stuff?
Starting point is 00:34:57 No no Okay so the audience is all dressed up As their favorite character So you'll see a lot of Lucifer And Alistair And Charlie Morning Star As you can tell I'm very invested in this world Yeah clearly
Starting point is 00:35:09 Yeah So if they ever do this again on Broadway in New York City, I'm going to go to it because it was just so great. And it's like if you ask me my favorite character, I wouldn't, I don't know. It would be a hard angel, angel dust. I don't know. But then again, anyway, watch has been Hotel on Amazon Prime, reiterating that. So the recommendal I have for you is because I have a friend.
Starting point is 00:35:44 who's really, really into this. And like she's so into it. She was appalled that I had not watched the movie. So she literally came over to my house and sat me down and we watched it together, which I thought was absolutely sweet. And the clip I gave you is my favorite person on S&L who's in this movie. Yeah. And, yeah, I mean, I asked you if you guys had talked about it, so I figure it would be a chance.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Because I actually did, I did go see this on, it wasn't Broadway. It was like Arizona in like some theater. But so I have seen the stage production of this. Sure. Which maybe is why I was like, me, uh, other way, like, but it's still good. It's still fun. So most of the chat has probably already guessed it. I think so.
Starting point is 00:36:47 All right. We'll go ahead and play the clip. So just so people know this is from a short where it's like a quick mashup of this character. But you'll get the idea. So especially mega fans of the thing we're talking about. Here you go. Hi. He's so good.
Starting point is 00:37:01 We need a pastry. We need a pastry. Okay. Excuse me. Like raise your hand. He is so good. Such braverism. Enroll here often.
Starting point is 00:37:11 Could I ask you? anything anything you want just to move out the way absolutely yeah that's anything he's he's great he's great
Starting point is 00:37:23 he's great the braverism yeah amazing term I didn't know he was okay so admission still I haven't seen it and I didn't know he was in it
Starting point is 00:37:33 oh you haven't seen this either I didn't know it was either I was like oh okay fine we're watching we're watching I just want to watch for his scenes so that was Bohen Yang
Starting point is 00:37:42 from Saturday Night Live, one of my favorite cast members at this moment. He has since he started. I think he got me when he played the iceberg. Yeah, that's his thing. Like, is, you know, he was, he did the, the Moodang, the Pygmy, hippopotamus. He did the, he is no stranger to putting on the weirdest costumes during weekend update. Yeah. So if you're wondering, this is part one of Wicked.
Starting point is 00:38:12 It is the story of Elphabah. It is a prequel to the Wizard of Oz. It is based off of a book that children should not read. Why is that, by the way? Everyone always tells me that, but I don't understand why. Is it fullest content that I don't know about? I think there's some bestiality stuff going on. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:38:39 I just heard violence is all I heard. But, oh, gosh. Jeez. Oh, I think. You know, some people will do anything to be popular. Yeah. Popular. Because the whole point, so I saw this on, like I said, I saw it on stage.
Starting point is 00:38:56 I saw the whole thing on stage. It was a huge Broadway hit who had Christina Chenewick. Cheneweth. Is that right? Kristen Chenoweth? Yeah. There's no Christine. right. Kristen Chenoweth.
Starting point is 00:39:14 Christina Chenowick. Yeah. Christina Chenowick. You're familiar with it? Yeah, you do. I mean, it's like Better Dick Cumberbatch, you know. This is what we want. This is what we want when you show up. I'm sorry. Did you say Better Dick Cumberbatch? All right. I'm just making sure. I don't know. I don't know. This medication that I'm on is messed me up. I think that's my new favorite thing. It's made me worse.
Starting point is 00:39:41 with my- It's actually a character in Wicked, which is my kids should not read the book. Yeah, they should not read the book about Better Dick Cumberbatch. Anyway, it had Chenowit, whatever her name is, and the other one. Oh, shoot. Oh, God. The other one played. Adele DZee. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:40:02 Thank you. I wasn't even going to, I was going to probably do what's his face. John Travolta did. No, no, no. Needed to be accurate the way Brian said it. Anyway, those were the original Alphaba and Glenda. Sorry, Gah Linda. Galinda, yes.
Starting point is 00:40:21 Gah Linda. Very good. Then there's a whole thing about her name and Galinda or Glenda. And so part of it is basically the, you know, the friendship, like the history behind the two. characters and what we perceive in what we saw in the Wizard of Oz and why Elphaba might not be as bad as she has played out to be. So it's just kind of a, you know, flip the script kind of story. And part two just came out. My friend is already saying, when do you want to go? When do you want to go? When do you want to go? Like, it's Thanksgiving. I'm crazy busy. I don't
Starting point is 00:41:11 So maybe after Thanksgiving. Yeah, the crowds are pretty crazy right now anyway. Probably save yourself. Yeah, they're true. I know. Tina and I tried to see it this weekend. Like basically we had, we had tickets for Thursday night. Tina got sick.
Starting point is 00:41:25 We're like, well, let's, you know, let's see if you're feeling better. And then on Saturday night, she's like, you know what I'm feeling better. I think we could probably shoot for any time of day show tomorrow. I'm like, great. Like 10 showings at the Alamo draft house. We are sitting front row or second row. We're like, nope, not doing it. wait, we'll wait a week and not see this.
Starting point is 00:41:42 Yeah, they're going to make, they're making bank. They're doing real good. Hey, I got a quick question. What are these drugs you're on and how can I get some? I'm just curious. No, you don't want these drugs. Oh, all right. It's for epilepsy that I was apparently diagnosed with, but now my other doctors are like,
Starting point is 00:42:03 hmm, no, so sure. So I'm going through a whole medical, you know, it wouldn't be me if I wasn't going through something medical, right? Sure. Unfortunately. It messes with my memory and my speech. And so I'm getting a second opinion and doing all that due diligence. Well, the good news is I think you would have said Benedict,
Starting point is 00:42:26 or no, better dick Cumberbatch, even if you weren't on these drugs. I think I would probably say more, like if you were to ask me names of people, I'll struggle with it. so I'll just make it up. Yeah, like Don Chito came out of a totally sober, Nicole. There were no drugs at all. That's right, yes.
Starting point is 00:42:46 Well, I might have been on, Germicicicroni. I might have been on Topamax when that happened. I don't remember. It was so long ago, but we love them and we want them to never end. For sure. Yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:43:00 It's just how my brain, my brain tries to fill in the gaps, right? Yeah. It's like a weird AI, chat cheapy T thing. that he does. It's like a hallucination. AI hallucinations. Well, that's great. I need to finally see this damn movie.
Starting point is 00:43:17 It's still on. Where is it streaming? Disney, right? Or where? It's on, no, it's on Amazon Prime. Oh. Oh, okay. Why did I think it was Disney? You know why? Because this stuff seems like Disney, but it ain't Disney. It totally does. Yeah. So I got a NBC studio tour when we were in the war.
Starting point is 00:43:34 Oh, I saw your video. And there was, it was wicked everywhere. They had the gowns out in display. The huge had this huge. So it's an NBC property. So I can see why Disney wouldn't have it. Yeah. If it's universal, it's weird that it's on Prime. They must have some deal with Prime.
Starting point is 00:43:57 And the version that you can get on there is the bonus X-ray edition. So you've got sing-along lyrics and things like that apparently. Yeah, why is it on? Peacock is NBC Universal. I looked for it on Peacock and I was like, oh, it's not on Peacock. It should be on Peacock. That would be the logical, yeah. But I'm guessing there's a licensing term with Amazon they're doing right now.
Starting point is 00:44:20 Yeah, somebody paid a bunch of money. That's how that was sure. But yeah, that's how you can watch it. Amazon Prime. It's fun. It's, you know, a lot of social commentary, hidden kind of undertones as you watch it. So, yeah, the second part is going to get bananas or what I'll say. What's another fruit?
Starting point is 00:44:47 Off the rails. Off the rails. I was trying to think of an animal like bananas. There's a goat. There's a goat. Chicken shit crazy. No, that's not. No, there's a goat.
Starting point is 00:45:02 There's a goat. There's a goat. Oh, bat shit. That's what I was trying to say. The professor at the school is a goat. Oh, see, I don't, I don't know any of these references. See, you need to watch it. Yeah, I barely know.
Starting point is 00:45:19 I barely remember. You'll get my joke then. No, I'll get it all then. It's the greatest of all time. That's right. But right now I'm just going to go binge some better dick Cumberbatch movies. Nicole, we don't want to make you late for your thing. Thank you for hanging out with us.
Starting point is 00:45:34 I'm glad to have had you on regardless. you guys. Yeah, I miss you too. I hope you have a good, good meeting. We'll call it a meeting. I hope it's good for you. It's a meeting. All right. Everyone enjoy your meetings. All right. Brian, let's roll right into ours. Sounds good. Tell me what you got. Uh, so mine is a movie that Tina stumbled on. We're like, what do we want to watch? Again, it was Saturday night. We're like, let's see what's on. We're looking at new releases and then back and forth between that and rotten tomatoes. Like, ooh, how about this? Oh, 32% rotten tomatoes. We get to this one, which had 81%, but we knew nothing about it other than just the one or two line description, and then saw the cast list. We're like, oh, this is great. Let's watch this. For a hot second, I thought I had recommended this. I think I may have just said, oh, I watched this and it was good. Maybe I'll recommend it. And then I never talked about it again. So I am so glad you saw this, because I have been dying to talk to somebody who I know, who has seen it. And we can commiserate about it.
Starting point is 00:46:35 and mostly just talk about the biggest crush of my life right now. Anyway, here's your clip, and we'll tell folks what it is on the other side. Sorry about that. Seems we have an update. Current velocity indicates that the object will go suborbital. Current flight trajectory is consistent with impact somewhere in the continental United States. Holy shit. What's your level of confidence on that, Tony?
Starting point is 00:47:05 It's not an error. We're tracking it on multiple radar systems now. I've told hi, Jerry. We have dual phenomenology on the track. 19 minutes to impact. Ma'am, I don't understand. Add sec, Def and Potus to the call. Now, Davis.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Were you listening to that? I'm worse. Yeah? Yeah, get to it. Oh, man. It's funny because that clip doesn't, it doesn't really give you like a plot point other than that there's a missile and it's suborbital. It's like, oh, okay, well, that's interesting. What the heck is this, Brian?
Starting point is 00:47:54 Yeah, but not because I've seen it. I'm feeling all those feelings. Yes, that was the thing. Exactly. Once you've seen it's like that, it's an incredible moment. This is a movie called. a house of dynamite. It is also on Netflix. This is a pre-apocalyptic thriller. Good way of putting it. Instead of post-apocalyptic. This is a movie that
Starting point is 00:48:19 basically asks or answers the question, what if the U.S. discovered an ICBM heading towards Chicago, what would we do about it? And we don't know where, who, which country? sent it. We don't know if we can get rid of it. We don't know if we can hit it, etc. But the way it's told is brilliant. And I don't know if it's not really a, I think it's better you go into it knowing this because the only complaints in reviews are people who weren't expecting it to be told in this way, the story to be told in this way. But they're crazy by the way. I love They are crazy. I agree.
Starting point is 00:49:03 And I love the end, all the way they did the ending. So it's like, wow. So it is told in sort of repeating chunks, three repeating chunks that basically show you the same events happening from different perspectives. But it kind of needs to be told that way because you've got the department that first discovers the missile and then they have to report it to the White House and then the White House assembles a team, et cetera. So you've got to get this perspective of. of, all right, what does the team do, what does the team do that discovers it? And then what does the team do that is like, okay, the military team, what can we do? Can we hit the, I love the term, hitting a bullet with a bullet, basically is what they have to do.
Starting point is 00:49:45 Yeah. And then. Astronomical odds of doing it, just incredible. Yeah. And then the third team is more of like the kind of boots on the ground kind of thing, the Pentagon, the Marines, et cetera. the crush Scott has on Rebecca Ferguson is well deserved she is love her she is so good and she's so good in this she's kind of if there's a star in this thing it's her because she's featured very heavily in all three chapters you get Idris Elba as the president he's
Starting point is 00:50:21 kind of important he's a big deal turns out yeah turns out Jared Harris who we also love Chernobyl and madmen and everything else that Jared Harris is in that's fantastic he does a foundation when you start that you get a lot of Jared Harris he's oh really okay good man love that way for that yeah um but then you know there's some other people it's like uh Tracy let's who's the general um general Brady he's in every every chapter as well and he's his like just bare bones this thing for me he's he's fantastic like is that the best you can do 50 50s the best you can go from like hey you see that game last night holy crap I can't believe bleep blep blep and then he'll roll into this roll on a dime into this yeah he's the most
Starting point is 00:51:10 convincing thing in this I mean I was I was raptured by his performance he was so good in it um a blink and you miss her kately deaver who we also both really love she was in dope sick and many things she's so good many things yeah justified last of us last season all right right yeah god oh geez yeah her uh anyway this is really really good and just want to warn you or well not really warn you with peace and love but no the heads up just the way the story is told it's very effective and and i just love the way they did the ending and that also seems to be a sticking point for reviewers. Very controversial. Yeah, they're crazy. Well, I kind of understand if you go into every movie, if you go into every movie and you go, I expect a perfect sewed up thing at the end,
Starting point is 00:52:05 then you're going to be disappointed. If you go into a movie going, I want them to tell me the way they want to tell me. Right. Then you're going to get that here. And Catherine Bigelow, no stranger to this kind of stuff. Catherine Bigelow is the director of this thing. Yeah, she's fantastic as always. I've never seen a Catherine Bigelow movie I didn't like. Even the lesser ones and early ones are still a good time. And a lot of people really hate that ending, but I think the ending is exactly what I wanted. Anything else would have been cheap. Yes.
Starting point is 00:52:35 And actually would have left you wanting even more. Yep. I think. I didn't mention Jason Clark, Jason Clark, who was in Zero Dark 30, another big low production, but also was one of the Terminator movies. He was The Terminator. No, he was John Connor in that. Oh, was you John Conner?
Starting point is 00:52:53 He was old John Connor, yeah. The Terminator in that movie was Oh, right, you're right. Somebody else, a girl, I think. I can't remember how that went. Terminator Genesis, who was the term. They brought Arnold back, and he was old in helping them.
Starting point is 00:53:08 You had, Calisi was your main, I don't remember who she played, but did she play his mom? Okay, well, in Terminator Genesis, he's attacked by T-5,000 and turned into a T-3-000 Terminator. composed of machine phase matter.
Starting point is 00:53:24 Oh, and old John Carner parts? Gross. Yes, yes. I forgot about that. That movie sucked. It really did suck. It's such a bummer, too. He's very good in that.
Starting point is 00:53:33 Schwarzenegger back. Yeah, oh, yeah. And he's great in that third or, no, second Planet of the Apes, recent ones. He's very good in that. He's Australian, which always throws me because he doesn't sound like anything he ever does. He's just awesome. I love him.
Starting point is 00:53:47 Yeah. Anyway, oh, Amelia Clark was Sarah Connor. yeah so uh jason clark anyways in this as well no relation to sarah or uh amelia clark i don't think as far as i know i don't think she's australian it's funny that terminator genesis had jason clark and amelia clark as john connor and sarah connor there were so many clarks in that movie barely see past it while i watched i ate a clark bar um anyway uh it's currently on netflix and it's a netflix original so it'll be there for a while but but watch it and uh i think it's it's excellent yeah it's really good absolutely freaking love this movie so great
Starting point is 00:54:21 I'm really glad you watch that. We can talk about it. All right. Let's talk about one that I also think is a hell of a piece of work. I think it is a work of art. And I loved every second of it. I've talked about it a bunch since I saw it. But this is the first time I've really done a recommendal on it.
Starting point is 00:54:36 So here it is also on Netflix. I had determined that the memory of my evils should die with me. Some of what I would tell you is fact. The sun is not, but it is ultral. What manner of creature is that? What manner of devil made him? I did. You're hearing Oscar Isaac in the role of Dr. Victor Frankenstein.
Starting point is 00:55:28 Frankenstein. Frankenstein. He is fan freaking-tastic in this. And this is a movie called Frankenstein. It is Guillermo. Oh my gosh. I'm going full Nicole here. Guillermo del Toro.
Starting point is 00:55:45 That's what I meant to say. There you go. Close enough. You know, we'll take it for my bad pronunciation. of Spanish names but anyway this is the thing he's been wanting to do since he was a kid it's a long time goal of his to do a version of Frankenstein and I'm here to tell you and I say this without any hopefully no recency bias but also without any hesitation I think this is the best version of this that has ever been made it is one of the most beautiful
Starting point is 00:56:15 detailed, just thick and rich sort of looks at the era of the style of the time. This thing will sweep every award that includes any kind of makeup slash clothes, like a costuming. It will absolutely destroy the competition. There's just no way this year anything comes close to this. If it does, I'll eat my hat. Don't do that. I mean, if a hat made out of bread or whatever. Oh, okay, bread hat.
Starting point is 00:56:43 Yeah, bread hat. I'll eat a bread hat. Um, anyway, he, uh, wrote this adaptation. Of course, Mary Shelley, the original author is credited as well, of course. It's got his own spin on a lot of stuff. But for the most part, it does adhere pretty closely to, uh, to the book. Mia goth is very good in this. She actually plays two people. Um, but you may not notice it at first. It's not a spoiler or a big story thing. It's just there's a moment where somebody's there and you're like, something's off with her. I don't know, not sure who that is. And then later you'll go, oh, that was her with some makeup on. Anyway, she's very, good in her main role as Elizabeth. She's fan-freaking-tastic in this. Like, I already liked her. She's great. Yeah. But there's depth here that I don't think people were expecting. We wouldn't be shocked if there was a best supporting actress nomination for this. I think she's very good. Christoph Walsh is in it. And he's, yep, always good, always great. Just saw him in the most recent season of only murders in the building. And he was really good there too. Yep. And maybe my favorite
Starting point is 00:57:44 performance by the actor William Bradley or excuse me David Bradley and you know him from the Harry Potter movies you know him from a brief and very funny role in hot fuzz but you'll see this old guy's face like I'm showing right now and you'll go oh yeah I've seen him in a trillion things he's in this in a small role that was just unforgettable for me absolutely just just loved it it's beautiful it is amazing it is poetry it is long and that's the way I liked it I cannot say enough about Jacob Aorty or Eorty or how have you say his last name, this kid from Euphoria and other stuff. Aiori, it's hard names.
Starting point is 00:58:26 He was so good in Adelaus or Euphoria. Yeah, he's incredible in that. He's just a great, he is going to be something. And he's my height. And so it's fun to watch him at these like red carpet events where the rest of Hollywood is short and he isn't. It's awesome to see him do that. but as the monster, he just adds so much to it.
Starting point is 00:58:46 And I kind of thought, oh, he'll just be going, and just kind of like make grunts and noises and wouldn't do much. It's an incredible performance. And a lot like your movie, this movie also does, tells the tale from different perspectives. Oh, really? Oh, cool.
Starting point is 00:59:03 Yeah, very similar format. Not quite as, you know, because the way House of Dynamite works is so compressed, right? It's like this very short amount of time that we can react to a bombing. launched. And so that story is like very intensely like, bam, bam, bam, and then, bam, bam, and then bam, bam. This thing is like a little bit more spread out than that and a little bit less segmented, but you'll still have the feeling of like, oh, I'm hearing this.
Starting point is 00:59:26 Now I get the monster's perspective. Oh, cool. Or I get Victor's perspective or whatever. I loved it. My daughter thinks it's the greatest thing that ever happened. She might be right. We watched it here. They went to a theater. They did the limited theater release thing for, so it could be on the Oscar list this year. you have to do that. I love that. Yeah. So her and Alicia went and all their friends went and saw it and they were all just gushing about it. I'm like, all right, well, then we're watching it. So as soon as I hit home, we fired it up and I still, I don't know, that guy paints. He's, here's a near, I heard an interview
Starting point is 00:59:59 with Del Toro and he said something that's really stuck with me. He said, in this movie in particular, of all the films I've ever made, I wanted to use every single tool available to filmmakers and that includes ancient methods of filmmaking stuff from black and white years all the way up to currents like cg stuff no i was used but like you know cg techniques were needed really traditional practical stuff were needed and then you know the the cinematography of it all is very traditional like it's just all he says i wanted to use every tool in the two blocks and i'm happy to say that i got to do that and he says things about is that the reason he chose these actors were, in every case, it came down to their eyes, which is a weird thing
Starting point is 01:00:44 for a director to say, normally you got to go for more than that. And clearly, you know, Jacob's tall and perfect for a big, musly, you know, monster type. And Oscar Isaac's perfect for kind of a crazy doctor guy and all that. But he says, if you just look at their eyes, their eyes are everything in this movie. And that changed how I kind of watched it. And he's right. Their eyes, Mia Goth in particular, dude. It's so good. Oh, wow. So carve out two and a half hours of your life, plop down in front of Netflix, watch that damn thing and be amazed.
Starting point is 01:01:16 It still makes me hold out hope that maybe Universal say, if this continues to do really well, Universal will say, all right, maybe we make this one of the tent poles of the dark universe and we bring that idea back of having a universal monster's universe. And, you know, I would agree with you on that, except this movie is so above franchising it's so really okay it's like not that kind of movie at all there's no gotcha camp there's no really no humor i don't know how to explain it it wouldn't it wouldn't
Starting point is 01:01:53 work well with uh with tendrils that connect it to other films yeah yeah i don't think there there's not good crossover potential i think it's and i think it's meant to be like here is my one opus like sure that's how it feels fair enough but saying that I'm actually with you overall though I wish there was a universe of monsters I did like they were planning sounded really cool I just oh I know and Javier Bardem was going to be Frankenstein and
Starting point is 01:02:21 then Benicio del Toro Wolfman was part of that that that did come out didn't it yeah I think so I think it was technically part of it but that thing tanked so bad I hardly heard anything about it It's such a bummer, though, man. Washed their hands of it, yeah. It's a huge bummer.
Starting point is 01:02:40 But in this particular case, this is more like an adaptation of less about the universal adaptation and more about the classical literature. You know, it's, it goes very Mary Shelley. I absolutely loved it. That's cool. Check it out. I hope it does all the Oscars. If it doesn't, I'm going to be pissed because I think it deserves it. It's just the most beautiful film I've seen this year, like straight up.
Starting point is 01:03:02 I think my favorite movies I've seen this year are probably. that and sinners they're right up together with me and I can't think of anything else that impacted me quite as much as those too I hope those guys are I hope both those movies
Starting point is 01:03:17 are just smeared all over the Oscars this year I'm sure they will be yeah hope so yeah anyway there you go now all of these are going to be up on quicktms.lI that's the fun of it all here's the secret
Starting point is 01:03:28 there are shit yeah that's what I do oh my gosh he did it before we talked for exactly that's amazing um they're up there so that's why we do that we keep a little record for you guys so if you missed it all and you want to go find out what we talked about go uh go give that a look and let us know what you think all right that thing is this this page is going to get an overhaul by the way this uh this winter because there's so many weird like because of all the copying and
Starting point is 01:03:57 pasting that we've done with code me and ice warm it's like uh some of this stuff just doesn't work and I want to do. It would be nice actually to have like, right now we've got recommendals. We've got punish props links, the book links from Amy, all that stuff. I think even some of the Stevens stuff, the games that Dan recommends. It'd be nice to have it in more of a, I don't know, a better format. So I need to work on that over the quote unquote Christmas break that we're not going to break for. Yeah, we usually do like try to take about a week in December. That's true. We do, don't we? we do yeah we'll probably do it the week of christmas but then the week of christmas it's not like
Starting point is 01:04:37 nobody's you know yeah it's not like it's all free time but uh no yeah a little little we'll see what happens a little yeah you know it's a good that'll be a good time to do it either way bookmark it people quick tms dot l i get in there's right all right absolutely it's going to do it for the show a quick note we will have a mashup and post today it is a classic mashup called uh where is it the third eagle special yeah which is we know as we know as we know eagle special I would not miss that if I were you. No, be there or be squarish. Yeah, given that guy more credit than he probably deserves.
Starting point is 01:05:12 Yeah. But we're doing it. Big thanks to Jamie for putting that together. That'll happen right after the song today. Speaking of which, Brian brought a song. Tell us what it is. Yeah, and a quick note, of course, this week, no show on Thanksgiving because we're going to be eating and you can't eat all day if you don't start first thing in the morning.
Starting point is 01:05:26 And then play date on Friday because Cyranax just asked. It was a good reminder that we need to talk about that. definitely going to play i can't wait do we have uh what what do we have that's new we had a new thing last time didn't we well we had two we played maybe it was three two or three of the new pack and we haven't played the remaining two or three whatever's left so we got to try those two cool break those out all right neil morrow wrote in good morrow neil uh he said highest stake in beans i'll be celebrating another life anniversary of the weekend before thanksgiving and would love to get Brian to play something from murder by death. Murder by death have been a great,
Starting point is 01:06:04 weird, constant in my life since high school. And it's a bittersweet year to see them hang up their boots as they wrapped up their farewell tour this month. Love the slow, love the soul glow. Cheers, Neil. Nice little reference to coming to America. Yeah, this band, Murder by Death, they are fantastic. This is a band that really leaned hard into the method of distribution, a Kickstarter. So they kickstarted a lot of their albums. And they not only give you the album, but also take requests for cover songs and then put out a second album just for Kickstarter backers of those covers. And always on their tour, they would make sure to make a stop in Colorado. Wouldn't be Denver, but they would stop in Estes Park. And they would play in the freaking Stanley
Starting point is 01:06:57 Hotel, the inspiration for The Shining. Oh, that's awesome. Never got to see them. I wish I could have. That would have been so great. My chances are gone because they decided to end their tenure as a band. Also, somewhat famous for naming themselves after the 1976 comedy film Murder by Death, which was on VHS repeat in my house.
Starting point is 01:07:19 Oh, yeah, with Truman Capote, right? Yeah, I think so. Truman Capote, Peter Falk, Peter Sellers. I get it confused a little bit with. with Clue only in who's in it. Like I want to say that Clor, not Cloris Leachman, who was, there's a woman that I always think of that was in Clue that I also think was a murder by death.
Starting point is 01:07:42 Oh, and you're right. Well, they were kind of like two sides of a coin. Similar, right, exactly. It was like Agatha Christie style, murder in a casse or in a mansion, and they all had to figure out who'd done it. And it was ridiculous. I loved that movie.
Starting point is 01:07:57 I don't know if it holds up, but I really liked it. Yeah. So it makes sense. Those guys are nerds, man. They like their weird old shit. Sounds cool that they would do that. Totally. And one of those weird old things they like is an old song by Nina Simone that more people think of
Starting point is 01:08:12 by Eric Burden and the animals because Eric Burden had a much bigger hit with this song. Elvis Costello also did a fantastic version of it. The song is, Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood. Here is Murder by Death. Baby, do you understand me now? Sometimes I feel a little mad But don't you know that no life can always be an angel When things go wrong, I seem to be bad
Starting point is 01:08:49 I'm just the soul whose intentions are good Oh, please don't let me be misunderstand Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree with a joy that's hard to die. Sometimes it seems that all I have to do is worry if you're bound to see my other side. I'm just a sort of the intentions are good. Please don't let me be misunderstood If I see magic I want you to know
Starting point is 01:09:35 That I never mean to take it out on you Life has its problems And I get my share And that's one thing I'll never mean it to Because I love you, baby Oh, don'ts and I'm just human I got thoughts like any other one And sometimes I feel myself all over regretting
Starting point is 01:10:00 Some foolish things, some foolish silly thing I've done I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh please don't let me be misunderstood Well I'm just the soul of the intentions are good Oh oh please don't let me be misunderstood Yeah I'm just the soul of the tensions of God Oh, please don't let me be misunderstood

Satan has six gold teeth above, six gold teeth below. And of course we know those are numbers of the beast. I guess that's supposed to be some kind of a joke.
