Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome back everybody to another episode of Caravanna Garbage where we're taking a look at four different movies that are about video games, but they're not based on video games. Hooray? Sometimes. Now this week we decided, we decided both of us because we're both familiar with this movie and what it's about. Mysterious to me.
Starting point is 00:00:18 It's a 20... And it's still mysterious to me. I watched it and it's still mysterious to me. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, mysterious movie to me. It's true. Please leave a like because... What is this? How would you explain this movie?
Starting point is 00:00:33 Serenity 2019. Baffling. I would describe it initially as baffling. The most baffling thing initially, so I went in this, I'd never seen this before. And you said, don't look it up.
Starting point is 00:00:45 And I didn't. I just went right in there and I clicked play. And the most baffling thing about this movie to me initially, having finished watching it, was it is baffling that everybody involved
Starting point is 00:00:56 didn't end up in Hollywood jail. Because you know that happens. Oh, yeah. People might be aware, you know, when somebody makes not just a bad movie but an inexplicably bad movie, they often have to disappear for a few years. Like, a good example is Colin Travorrow, who made one of the Jurassic World movies, and then he was on track to make Star Wars. But in between, he decided to indulge in some sort of passion project, and he made the movie The Book of Henry. Oh, yeah. Which is about a genius child who dies, but not before he leaves a book of plans to his dumb mum to kill a next door neighbor.
Starting point is 00:01:28 Yes. Good movie. I haven't seen it, but good movie. But then he ended up in director jail and they were like, we're going in a different direction with Star Wars. Yeah. Not with you, though. Yeah, we're going to make a worse movie than the one you were going to make, probably.
Starting point is 00:01:39 Yeah. That's an interesting choice. That's right. Yeah. So, but I watched this movie and I'm like, Who did this? Who did this? Then I looked it up and I'm like, there is, I would say there's some reasonable,
Starting point is 00:01:49 there's a reasonable explanation as to why these people aren't in jail. Yes, because of this. Because of this. I mean, obviously this had disappeared, I think, which was a huge help to the careers of everyone involved. Yeah, I have no memory. of this. Did it get a cinema release in Australia? It did, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Huh. But I mean, of course... Oh, this is Stephen Knight, by the way. So Stephen Knight, he is currently writing the new James Bond movie, the upcoming James Bond movie, the De Neville New version. Amazing. He's Peaky Blinders. He is Peaky Blinders.
Starting point is 00:02:16 He's also one of the co-creators of who wants to be a millionaire. For some reason, yes, he is that. So he's got, I guess, enough cultural capital that he could just be like, no, I actually won't be put in jail for this. I've got to get out of jail free card, and it's Killian Murphy was in a show that everyone really liked. And I'm friends with a lot of millionaires. That helps too. Matthew McConaughey, of course, had come off a string of, you know, critically and commercially successful movies, the renaissance of Matthew McConaughey movies, which of course we call
Starting point is 00:02:43 the Matthew Pallusa. And Anne Hathaway also come off a bunch of, you know. They were both in interstellar as well. The Hathew Palluzer, they called it. Sure. We had a John Connor here. That's right. Australia's own Jason Clark. So here's how this film started. This is the first piece of information of how it came together. On January, 2018, 2017, it was announced that Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway would star in a sexy noir film, Serenity, and it would be directed by Stephen Knight from his own script. Does that explain any of... No, it doesn't. It's not a noir movie at all.
Starting point is 00:03:12 It could be. Well, okay, let me... The setting kind of throws it a bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to get to the part later about his own script. So if we could put a pin in that. Sure. But so upon watching this for the first time, these were my initial thoughts, right?
Starting point is 00:03:26 So it's about if we could explain the plots. somehow. We'll give it a whirl. Before the twist? Yes. So Matthew McConaughey is a boat captain in a place called Plymouth Island and his job mostly, the way he makes his booze money is that he... Had sex with women, Diane Lane. He does, Diane Lane's in this. Not a lot to do. I don't know, man. I don't know, man.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Jaimon Honsu is his friend. Underused. If you can even believe that talented character actor Jiamon Honsu in a movie and they don't give him a lot to do. Can you even believe that? every movie. Someone give him a lead role, please. Why wasn't in Gladiated to at least? Crazy. Ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Yeah. I mean, good for him for not doing it if he was asked. That's right. But anyway, Matthew McConaughey's character, whose name is, I believe, Baker Dill. His name's Baker Dill. And let me tell you, he's a real deal because he... British-ass name, fake-ass British name.
Starting point is 00:04:19 He makes his money by taking tourists out to fish off the boat. But this doesn't go well a lot of the time, seemingly, because he's also obsessed with a judge. giant fish he can never catch that he calls justice. Which feels like Matthew McConaughey insisted on that name. He's gone fisherman crazy. Yeah. So he'll wave a knife at somebody.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Yeah. If they're going to take his fish justice. Yeah. It's the old man in the sea. It's Moby Dick and whatever. It's like, okay, this is sort of a Moby Dick thing. Also, it's a tuna. It's not even a shark.
Starting point is 00:04:49 It's an old whale. There are sharks in this. Yes. But it's not relevant. No, it's a big tuna. It's a big tuna and he's obsessed with the big tuna. He's got to get it. It's a, it's a shark.
Starting point is 00:04:58 is yellow tuna. And I'm like, okay, well, this is a, this is a, this is a, this is a, this is a, a moby dick thing. Okay, I get it. It's, and it sort of felt initially, you know, like a Kevin Costner thing. Yeah. You know, and then we learned that many years ago he had a, he had a, he had this love affair with Anne Hathaway and they had a kid.
Starting point is 00:05:14 They're supposed to be the same age. They went to school together. Yeah, yeah. Come on, man. And they had a kid. Yep. But then she left with the kid. And I'm like, okay, well, these obsessions destroyed everything.
Starting point is 00:05:26 And okay, that kind of makes sense. But then she's like, okay, but I got married to this man and he sucks. Yeah. But he's rich and he's evil. So I've come back here and I want you to kill him. He loves fishing. He loves fishing. And so I've set up this fishing trip for him.
Starting point is 00:05:43 So get on. He doesn't know who you are. So get him on your fishing boat and then kill him and throw him overboard. And I'll give you $10 million of the insurance money. And then we can be together. It's a hell of a deal. Right. And I'm like, okay, well, now it's a bit, it's a bit wild.
Starting point is 00:05:58 old things, maybe like Cape Fear, it's like intrigue and, and thrills on the sea kind of thing. You know, that sort of makes sense. And then at the 40 minute mark, Anne Hathaway's like, yeah, your son, your 10-year-old son, he loves computers, and that's why he talks to you through the computer. And I'm like, wait, what? Because there's moments in this where you see Matthew McConaughey, and he sort of drifts off and you see his son at the computer and he's typing away on this computer. He loves being on the computer, a fine pastime for a young man, but having a good.
Starting point is 00:06:28 go on the computer. And then you see, and then it, then it sort of almost feels like he can, he can sense his son from a long way away. And I'm like, oh, he's just sort of reminiscing or he's, he's thinking about what his son might be like or whatever. Or maybe he's got fishermen powers. Maybe he's got, maybe he's talking to him through the wind. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:44 You know, the watery wind is what they call it. There's what fishermen call, the watery wind. I'm hearing my estranged son on the watery wind. But no, he's talking to him. And that's, there's no real explanation. Your son talks to you through the, through the wind. Also, your son. wants you to kill.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Yeah. This wasn't my idea even. I love it. Yeah. But he wants you to kill his stepdad. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:05 So you've got, you've got two narratives going on here. One, does he kill his ex-lovers new husband to get money and to reconnect with his son, I guess? But also he's obsessed with a big fish. Yeah. And also his son talks through the computer? Through the watery wind. Through the watery wind of the computer. And he's torn up.
Starting point is 00:07:25 He's punching darts the whole time. I am amazed that Matthew McConaughey smoking meme is not from this movie. Right? That's wild. And he's got the weird stances. This movie is sort of, like it's sort of mystifying to me. You know, obviously he's chosen the big fish over his family. And it's like, I think if you got Captain Ahab and you got him to choose between, you know,
Starting point is 00:07:49 beautiful charismatic award winning actor Anne Hathaway and a big fish, he'd probably choose the former. I think so. But I got, I guess McConaugh's got different priorities. going on. He does have different priorities because well wait, where does the twist come? Oh also Mark Strong is here Mark Kendall Roy's in it
Starting point is 00:08:08 Mark Strong pre-succession? No just at the start But his character, he's this little guy and he's got little he's in a suit, he's a little businessman, he's a little round glasses on he's carrying a briefcase He's always trying to catch that Matthew McConaughey He's always... You're like, is he a tax man? What is this? Matthew McConaughey always gets in his boat
Starting point is 00:08:26 and gets away on the watery wind, the windy water, as the fishermen call it. And he sails away. And then always Mark Strong just runs up and sort of paddles in the water. He goes, oh, no, I'm late. Oh, this is in my... This wasn't supposed to happen. I've got important things to tell Matthew McConaughey, but I'm late. I'm late. I'm late every time. How does this keep happening? So he's there. He's there also, yeah. But then at some point, it turns out... And somebody just tells him this. You're in a computer. You're not real. Not only are you in a computer. This whole thing is not real. Everybody in this is
Starting point is 00:08:57 an AI construct. This is a virtual video game world created by your son. By the way, you died in Iraq. Yeah, your name is actually... You're not real. You're not real. Your name is John Mason, which isn't even an anagram. Why is his real name John Mason and his fake name Baker Dill? What does it mean? I don't know. What does it mean, Jane? It doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean anything. But then... Anne Hathaway's not real either. This version of Ann Hathaway. There is a real Anne Hathaway. Yes. And a real, real Jason Clark. But he's not a millionaire. No, he's just a guy. He's just a guy
Starting point is 00:09:31 and the kid is in his bedroom because he's... He's doing computers. He's having to go on the computer as, which is a fine past time for any young man. His mother is being abused by this adoptive father. And he never, he only barely remembers his real father, which was Matthew McConaughey. But he remembers
Starting point is 00:09:50 that he took him fishing once. We thought about fishing once or he said fishing's a good pastime for a young man. And he took it really seriously, so he's like, oh, my dad's really serious about fishing, I'm going to make in this game, which also has a number of games in it, including catching a cat. This is an old man's
Starting point is 00:10:07 understanding of video games also. 100% it is, yes. And also the fact that just this kid tapping away, and you see him like tapping in lines in the computer? There's a first person fishing simulator you see with computer graphics. The fact that he's just independent, this 10 year old is
Starting point is 00:10:23 independently just generated presumably dozens, if not hundreds of artificially intelligent people that are all doing their thing on this island? But I guess the other thing is, so he created this whole scenario with his mum and his dad, so Matthew McConaughey will kill his virtual dad in the virtual world. So he will then have the confidence in real life to stab his dad with a knife. Not just any knife, his dad's knife, but his dad's real knife. It's his US Navy knife.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Oh, I didn't know. Because his dad was a Navy seal or something or something or other. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Matthew Bacone's original purpose in the video games is to catch a fish. And that's all he cares about. But then Kendall Roy is trying to tell him, no, this has been changed. Because he's some sort of, he's the rules guy? He's the architect or something like in the Matrix.
Starting point is 00:11:13 But he's not because the kid's the architect. Exactly. He's just a guy. You can't catch him for some reason. Yeah, but then he does and he's like, I've got a thing for you. It's a fish-finding machine. Here it is. It'll help you catch any fish.
Starting point is 00:11:26 I thought I was supposed to kill a dad. No, you've got to catch a fish too. Yeah. Got this old, let you catch a fish. So he's, yeah, his son invented a How to Kill Your Stepdad video game simulator. But for confidence. For confidence. It's exclusively with confidence.
Starting point is 00:11:40 He's changed the world. He's created sentient life in his home PC. So he can use that hypothetical scenario to gain the confidence to kill his stepdad. Yeah. And I say good. Yeah. That's a fine past time for any young man killing your stepdad. Having to go on the computer.
Starting point is 00:11:55 That's right. And killing your stepdad. So that. raises a lot of questions. Not for me. He doesn't control Matthew McConaughey. No. So, but he observes him in the world.
Starting point is 00:12:07 And this is a world where... But he gives him a compulsion. Yes, he gives him a compulsion. First to do the fish thing, but then to kill the dad thing. But he needs Mark Strong to do that. But he'll also put forth a scenario where I guess he's just watching virtual versions of his parents have sex with each other. Yeah, and with Diane Lane.
Starting point is 00:12:23 And with Diane Lane. And I think that's strange. Like, did he program that in? Or did that? Is that emergence behavior from the AI? I don't know, man. We don't get those answers. And quite frankly, I don't think we need the answers.
Starting point is 00:12:35 So at the end, yeah, after he stabs his dad... Wait, virtually off the... Virtually. In the virtual world, he gets dragged by the big fish. And he does. Those storylines come together perfectly. Like an episode of Seinfeld. It is like Seinfeld.
Starting point is 00:12:50 The marine biologist one. Except at the end, it's George being flung overboard. And murdered by a big fish. And that's beautifully into... up with him just casually walking downstairs and stabbing his stepdad and then getting away with it. And there's a, there's like a newspaper article that says something like gifted, withdrawn IT student kills his dad.
Starting point is 00:13:09 And that's all right, I guess. Everyone in town, cheers. No problem. Well done. Good stuff. Everyone stood up and applauded. And then he calls his dad on a telephone in the Matrix world. His virtual dad, because his real dad's dead.
Starting point is 00:13:21 His real dad's dead. And I assume that's him in the real world talking to his virtual dad. And his virtual dad says, good job on. killing your stepdad. That's right. That's good. I would have done that as well except the fish did at first. And then at the very very end they meet. So his son builds a new computer world, which I assume then has a computer version of him, which then he sends to live with Matthew McConaughey. Yeah. And they have a beautiful reunion. Or he puts on like a big virtual reality helmet. Oh, and goes in. And goes in and they virtually fish together in what looks like a grand theft auto world,
Starting point is 00:13:54 I guess. Yeah, it's good. It's just the island. There's nothing else out. outside of that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And everybody's stuck in these NPC kind of loops. So Matthew McConnell is kind of going mad and trying to figure out what is real. But by the time, he's like trying to figure out what is real, we already know. So it's kind of like, yeah, no, we know. That's just, it's moving along, man.
Starting point is 00:14:14 The thing about this movie is... It's really good. It's really good. But you don't need the computer bit. If this was just like... You absolutely don't. This has one layer too many. Like, if this was just Matthew McConaughey, he obsessed.
Starting point is 00:14:27 with a fish, but then he left his family, but then his family turns out to be in trouble, and maybe he's got to make the decision whether they've killed a stepdad. I'd be like, all right, all right, it's all right. That's good. That's all right, all right, all right. God. But then the computer thing, what amazing. And what I wanted to talk about is the fact that, and I read this also, and you mentioned
Starting point is 00:14:48 it earlier, is that this was just one guy's script. Because we saw, we've seen a movie. And he's good. Like, he's a very talented screenwriter, obviously. Yeah, yeah, yeah. we hope. We hope he hasn't lost it because he's making the, he's right in the new James Bond. Well, he's made stuff since then. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think he wrote and directed the movie, Locke, which is Tom Hardy in a car. Oh, wait, there was an Anthony Hopkins guy
Starting point is 00:15:10 locked in a car movie recently. I'm thinking of that, but maybe Locke was also that. You're confused because of the term lock. I am, actually. Yeah, you're thinking of locked in a car with Anthony Hopkins. I am actually, yeah. But the fascinating thing to me is this was just, this is a straight up script out of nowhere. Because we somewhat recently, we talked about another movie, which has a similar vibe to it, which is the movie Don't Worry Darling. Oh yeah. Which
Starting point is 00:15:37 has this, the similar baffling premise out of nowhere, which is that Florence Pew is a sort of a housewife in a 1950s gated community. But then there's a bunch of, as we watch the movie, there's kind of a bunch of clues that everything isn't writing. What's going on, we say? And all the clues are like, oh, this is some sort of Stepford wives, the
Starting point is 00:15:53 village, she's in a cult, she's out of She's out in the desert maybe and she's been brainwashed kind of thing, right, in the real world. Real world. But then at the end of the movie, they're like, nah, she's actually in a virtual computer world. Harry Stiles is trapped her on the dark web. Yeah, she's just on a bed. Which is a fine, it's a fine pastime for a young man to trap Florence Pugh. Having a go on the dark web.
Starting point is 00:16:15 Having a go on the dark web. And as a viewer you like, but none of the clues pointed to, all the clue's pointed to, all the crash plane or something? All the clues pointed to, she's physically out of the world and they're like, no. We could have done. that movie in this series of movies. Well, we've done it. We've done it justice. But the thing about that movie is, my understanding is the original script, it was in the real world.
Starting point is 00:16:34 And then when it came time to pre-production, they went, this isn't cool and new enough. Let's make it a computer world. But they didn't change anything else prior to that. So, like, that's the result of meddling. Like, there's too many books. They're spoiling it kind of thing. But this, the result of one writer, baffling. Like, this one, he, there's, you know, there's, you.
Starting point is 00:16:54 He didn't write this, and it was Cape Fear, Moby Dick, Big Fish. Yeah, yeah. Then a meddling producer, one of these bean counters are like... My son's on the computer. Too much. What if, what if... And he hates me.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Write a movie where he kills me. What if... He should get on the computer, right? Yeah. It's just this one guy. What are you doing? What are you doing? I hope Bond does not get on the computer in this upcoming movie.
Starting point is 00:17:17 Deney, if you're listening and you're absolutely not, put your foot down. He doesn't know. He doesn't get... He doesn't understand computer. Make it the 60s and there isn't even any computer. Look, this is going to get on the computer in this building This movie is everything computer And I think if we load anything
Starting point is 00:17:31 It's a shouldn't be It shouldn't be computer Get off the computer Get right off the computer It does feel like a Like a hacker's era The Net Johnny Mnemonic
Starting point is 00:17:43 Like this is their idea of what they think Being on a computer is What being on a computer can do What a computer is capable Absolutely yeah It's brilliant In a way Absolutely yes
Starting point is 00:17:53 It also does It doesn't look, like, as complicated as this game is, because it has real people in it, essentially. It looks like shit. Yeah. Like, it's just like a 2003 kind of first person adventure. Is the stuff we see that is on the computer? Is that, is that, it's like being in Tron. It's like being in Tron.
Starting point is 00:18:14 You don't know you're in Tron. You don't know you're in Tron. That's so classic. But when you look on the outside of Tron, it doesn't look like Tron. This looks like dots running into each other. What if Baker Dill met Tron? I wonder what that would be like. I think they both wouldn't know what was going on.
Starting point is 00:18:26 They would not know what was going on. They'd be both smoking in a weird way. Trying to be smoking his disc. He was. Oh, mad. Anyway, do you know what's time for? What's it time for? It's time for Sir Trivia.
Starting point is 00:18:37 All right. This is a trivia section of the show where we talk about trivia. Umah Thurman was originally cast in the role that Dine Lane played. And then she dropped out to scheduling conflicts. That schedule being she was scheduled to read the script. And she did read the script and she went, nah. I'm conflicted. I don't like this.
Starting point is 00:18:53 Yeah, it's bad. So Matthew McConnorahey's character also, he has a purple heart, the real version of least. Probably not the virtual one. I don't think you've got a virtual Purple Heart for killing his virtual stepped out or whatever. I don't think you get those. I mean, I guess you could make a game where that's a possibility. With the president awards him a medal. They should have done a sort of...
Starting point is 00:19:10 Droughting a man with a fish. A star, we should have gotten a Star Wars medal ceremony at the end. Where the mayor from Jaws comes out in his anchor prince jacket. And he goes, you did it. He's a purple heart. You're my hero. So a Purple Heart is not awarded for gallantry, as reported at the end of the movie. It is awarded for injury sustained while engaged against an enemy of the United States, which is everyone, I guess.
Starting point is 00:19:32 That's right. When you think about it, they said, hmm. The map of Plymouth is the same font and style in the Grand Theft Auto game maps, apparently. Which ones? I don't know, all of them. It doesn't matter. Anyway, box office. Did you know this had a box office? I don't believe it.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Well, technically, it had a box office. On a budget of 25 million. Not bad. Okay. All right. Beautiful setting. It is a beautiful setting. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:55 And it was just... And that had to make Anne Hathaway blonde. That's true. It's not normally blonde. That's so true, isn't it? It made 14.4 million at the box office. Oh, that's way less. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:05 I mean, and it didn't even release during COVID, where you could be like, well, you know, COVID killed this. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but people were thinking about maybe having some COVID. They were thinking about having a go on the COVID. Oh, okay. And, you know, that's, which is a fine pastime for any young man or woman.
Starting point is 00:20:17 I love... I love this, though. The film's production caused a scandal in Mauritius. where it was filmed. Not just in Mauritius, it was related. It was filmed in New Jersey, but there was a scandal in Mauritius.
Starting point is 00:20:28 As the then Prime Minister was accused of having misappropriated funds in excess of 200 million Mauritian rupees, which is about 6 million USD, to support the film. Now, I looked into this. It was like, what was the outcome of this? And it seems like nothing.
Starting point is 00:20:43 Terrific. It seems like somebody maybe just stole $6 million. To make a man. To make a... Yeah, I guess. God. What was Jeremy Strong's? character always late.
Starting point is 00:20:53 Like, was that programmed into him? Or was it because Matthew McConae was going rogue in the computer? I don't know, because Mike Strong was always, at one point he looks at his watch and he goes, um, 20 minutes out of sync. Or 20 seconds or whatever. Yeah. Because he was supposed to get him the fish finder. That was his role.
Starting point is 00:21:08 To get the fish find out. But like, it's not often in a video game where you just try and do something again and again and then someone just walks up to you and hands the thing to you. Like, that's not a video game thing. Also, you have to find it or figure it out yourself. Also, at that point, at that point, the. kid wants Matthew McConaughey to kill his virtual dad. Maybe that's not throwing him off.
Starting point is 00:21:26 So why did he give him the fish finder? Was there some sort of rule in the game where he couldn't kill the dad until he'd got the fish? Like did he have to check point one of those missions before he went to the next mission? Because why do you need to give him the fish? Just say stop doing the fish thing and do the murder the dad thing and get an award for it. I mean, he does, I guess. Yeah. And what have some Xbox points?
Starting point is 00:21:44 What are they called? Achievements. Xbox points. Xbox points. What happens though if he did get the fish? Like does the game reset? Has he ever gotten the fish? fish.
Starting point is 00:21:52 Do you know what I mean? That's a great. Is there more than one fish? We should email Stephen Knight and ask him about it. Hey, Stephen, we've got two questions. What would have happened if you got the fish? What would it happen? Well, it's like, have you ever completed an open world game?
Starting point is 00:22:05 No. And then, okay. And then you just left to roam. Yeah, sure. And there's kind of bits and pieces that you can do and like tasks that recycle. But you've done the main thing. Yeah. So you're just existing in kind of this, this, I don't know, this.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Like a roaming state. Yeah. So Matthew McConaughey is just swinging. him down from the rooftops in Plymouth, this stopping petty crime for the rest of his existence. And punch and darts. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:22:30 I don't know, man. I just don't know. What was Diane Lane paying him for sex? Great quote for, for, for, um, because of in-game currency. Oh, yeah, in-game currency. It was a god-of-war style sex mini-game, I guess, that he started putting into this virtual world on the computer. Also, most games, the main characters don't play themselves.
Starting point is 00:22:50 You play the character. So it's not a game really, is it? No, if anything, if anything, Baker-Dill not catching that fish is the kid's fault. Because he's too obsessed. Oh, my stepdad. I've got to kill my stepdad. Get your head in the game, kid. Catch the damn fish.
Starting point is 00:23:08 Get those Xbox points. Absolutely. Gop. Get good, noob. And get those Xbox points. Totally. Do we have a t-shirt that says get good noob and get those Xbox points? I think we should. Yeah, it's down below.
Starting point is 00:23:19 If we don't already. Yeah. Yeah. God. Anyways, we've got one more video to go in these. Great. Do you know what it is? No.
Starting point is 00:23:25 It's Ready Player 1. Now that's video games. No, I mean, it is video games, isn't it? It's video games and also everything you've ever seen. I do like seeing the things that I've already seen. Sometimes they're fighting each other. Sometimes they're teaming up. Sometimes they're racing in a race car together.
Starting point is 00:23:41 Oh, my God, you better believe it. I recognize the Delorian. I recognize the King Kong. God. Can't wait to come back to that one. Should I read the book? I don't know if I can. I don't do it.
Starting point is 00:23:49 Yeah. I mean, I could. I'm just saying I don't know if I can. I physically could do that. Like, are you saying you can't read? Yeah. Interesting. You could read it to me.
Starting point is 00:23:56 You could come around at night and read me a book. I don't want to do that. You could, though. I don't want to, though. You could actually say that earlier at big sandwich. com. We're in addition to that, we do video game. Let's play's World Video Games.
Starting point is 00:24:08 Well, video games. We do movie commentaries. We do bonus podcasts. That's right. We also have a podcast. It's called The Weekly Planet where we talk movies and comics and TV shows. It comes out every Monday. If you are interested, we love it.
Starting point is 00:24:19 We love it. And we talk about it all the time. Should the thumbnail for this be Serenity like the Firefly movie? Oh, okay. It's like a trick, yeah. We probably could do that. Yeah, we could, couldn't we? But it says Serenity 2019, so we're technically not lying.
Starting point is 00:24:32 Yeah, it's true. I guess if we don't put 2019 in the title, yeah, we're not lying. That's right. Because we're not liars. We're sage wisdom givers. That's exactly right, which is a fine pastime for a young man, I think. Thank you so much to Ben and Lawrence for the edits. Thank you, Ben and Lawrence.
Starting point is 00:24:46 We'll see you guys in the next one. Grabbed ad jam. You guys will see it next week. Serenity now.
