ET! THROWBACK: Dramatic Depths, Epic Battles, and Gaming Memories Shared

Ever wondered what it feels like to peer behind the curtain of reality TV's most intense show? Well, Mitch, Tom, and I grabbed our mics and dived headfirst into the melodrama of "Dance Moms," sharing laughs and cringes alike. We not only scrutinized the scarce dancing and the child exploitation issues, but also mused on the cathartic release some viewers might find in the over-the-top competitiveness between the moms. And as if that wasn't enough, we juxtaposed the reality TV spectacle with the cinematic grandeur of Ridley Scott's 'The Last Duel,' offering our two cents on this historical epic's narrative and action-packed duels.

Shifting from dance to drama, our conversation took a nostalgic turn, reminiscing over the cherished 'Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.' We couldn't help but share our anticipation for both the Halo TV series and the game's remastered edition, spurring a delightful blend of past memories and future excitement. But it wasn't all about looking back; we found ourselves wrapped up in the present, facing off in a movie director trivia game that tested our cinema knowledge and sparked some friendly rivalry among the crew.

As the episode came to a close, we made sure to highlight our latest gaming adventures, from the elation of hitting whirlwind speeds in an open-world racing game to dissecting the complexities of classic Star Wars gameplay. We also touched on the upcoming Dragon Ball Z game, which promises to add a unique survival twist to the well-loved franchise. So, buckle up and join us for this multifaceted journey through the worlds of TV, film, and gaming, where laughter is plentiful, opinions are strong, and good times are guaranteed.

Most of you guys hello and welcome to entertain this, a podcast about movies, tv shows and video games. My name is Hayden. With me I have Mitch and Tom. This is episode 84 84, I don't remember that I knew we were in the 80s. We recorded this episode pretty much right after we did the last episode. This is the earliest recording we've had. There's been two days in between.

Speaker 2 0:55

We're usually doing it on a Friday or Saturday mostly Sundays. Some are procrastinators yeah, but we're being proactive this go around.

Speaker 1 1:06

So who got punished with what? I did, thanks to your wife before we get into that, though social media.

Speaker 2 1:14

Uh page on the facebook entertain this exclamation point on youtube, tiktok and twitch, and then we have thisentertain for twitter patreoncom entertain underscore this and only fans.

Speaker 1 1:44

Alright, Tom regalus, I just I hate your wife.

Speaker 3 1:47

I hate your wife. What was this called? Again, dancemoms, season 5, episode 3. The episode was almost an hour and it was 45 minutes. He didn't do the full 2 hours cause he's lame to be honest, watching this episode reminded me of Annie McDowell or Malcolm McDowell in a clockwork orange where they got hooked up with his eyes are pried open.

Speaker 3 2:09

He's just screaming. That's what watching this was like. So I don't know any of the backstory to why people weren't there they were and why they were just talking this one kid up, who I never saw, but apparently she took a job somewhere and I'm like, can't she? All these kids are like 12, isn't there child labor laws? There is. So the episode opened with the moms wanting to talk to the dance instructor, woman whose name I don't remember, and the moms were like you know, trying to corral or talk to her and she just goes no, I don't want to talk to any of you, and just walks out the room and I was like it's like talking to Hayden there's been many interventions that have tried to hold me down.

Speaker 3 2:56

I don't have kids, but if I did, I would not subjugate them to this.

Speaker 1 3:01

I think most parents would agree. All of these child exploitation shows are pretty terrible they are.

Speaker 3 3:09

So the whole thing was about trying to get the kids to go to LA for like a thing. I don't know if they made it. I really don't, you weren't captivated enough to continue watching. No, I was stabbing myself in the leg with a pen just trying to feel something like come on, I can't keep up with this, but the moms are just mean because there was the main group of moms and their kids.

Speaker 3 3:36

And then they bring in the JoJo kid and her mom are just like being the B word. Their kids are the best, they're not.

Speaker 1 3:46

They suck none of them were good.

Speaker 3 3:50

It's like dads with T-ball or football, or something my kid's the greatest my kid's gonna play for the Nyankees my kid could beat up your kid then there's just sitting there. It's like you know cuz their kid. He's sitting there in the outfield chasing a butterfly, the fly ball's coming right out of him, he doesn't see it, and then the dads yelling at him. That's what this show is like. So they bring in JoJo, who apparently was on season 2.

Speaker 3 4:15

I don't know, that's what they said in the show there's a lot of dancing but there's not nearly enough dancing to balance out the amount of drama like at all it's a 45 minute show. There's 5 minutes of dancing, 40 minutes of them talking to the camera or giving each other the business and just being mean what's the meanest thing a person did to an other person in that show something about blood and face from the trailer oh, because she didn't watch some movie I think it was Carrie like this 12 or 11 year old girl to watch and I'm like that's our rate.

Speaker 3 4:53

That's a parental decision. You can't make that. You're a dance instructor, you're not her actual mom and the girl's mom is trying to be nice to the other moms and the other moms are just being evil and they're just like the solo should have gone to my kid and you're just like who is your kid? I don't know who your kids are.

Speaker 3 5:11

It's like kids trying to put their whole hand in their mouth in the background, and then the other kids look at their moms being mean to JoJo's mom and they look at JoJo and they're just mean to her for no reason. And I'm like you kids suck too. Nobody on this show is good. I root for none of you.

Speaker 1 5:28

It's the powerful rich trying to take over exploiting their children, conditioning them.

Speaker 2 5:33

Illuminati.

Speaker 3 5:36

Exactly you know bold people, people wearing aluminum foil hats, crop signs. It really means something. That's pretty much what it is. It's just this doubt like who watches this and finds actual enjoyment? Not me. I can tell you that.

Speaker 1 5:49

I think the majority of the people watch it to appreciate how normal their lives are and be like wow, at least my kids aren't like that kind of thing, you know. But I don't know, I don't know. My wife knew of the show from a standpoint of like this is the deep end of like the mom. You know, this is like Dragon Ball Z for moms, like what?

Speaker 3 6:13

or like dance pageant moms or something like that yeah, we're like.

Speaker 1 6:16

You know there's a very niche elite crowd of people in that stereotype of moms that would appreciate the show that and um, what's the kitty, what's the one from? Tyler's and Tiara's yeah, tyler's and Tiara's, that one. So my wife doesn't really watch the show, but she does know that it's a bad show. It would be great punishment material.

Speaker 3 6:42

It was. It really was, because A I was confused because obviously I'm starting at season 5, episode 3, so I've missed all the exposition and character development from the first 4 seasons. But I'm pretty sure the main woman who runs the thing is still a bitch and she's just this slovenly woman yelling at these kids about dancing and I'm like can you dance?

Speaker 1 7:04

is she smacking them with like Reed Sticks?

Speaker 3 7:06

no, but she's got like the big poofy hair or whatever, and I'm just like, oh god, you're like she has hoop earrings and I was like, alright, she's crazy. I did not enjoy any of it. I kept hoping she'd trip and fall.

Speaker 3 7:18

She didn't she's training her little red sparrows yeah they bring in the Jojo and she's just like she's gonna do the solo she's gonna have like a lyrical thing, and she can't get it right cause, you know, she's 11 and this chick is asking her for like Broadway production standards, right, and so they give it to a different girl. Then they just make up some stuff and then they go to Los Angeles. I've okay, and it's like we're gonna go to LA. I don't know where they are to begin with, but they're going to LA and all the monsters are like alright, we're going to LA and you watch the movie, which is basically based off of this, isn't it?

Speaker 3 7:50

uh, I mean, I don't know, I don't know well, this came out like 2015 right and the movie came out recently.

Speaker 3 8:02

You know what the movie was better wow, I would rather watch the movie than watch this show. Wow, I'd also rather throw myself off the third store balcony and try and land in the pool that's outside than watch this show so it wasn't the best show that you ever watched no, it was just so aggravating. I just sat there and got more mad and more mad, watching these moms just be evil to each other and to kids, and I'm just like I want to hit all of you yeah, reality TV that's based around children competition.

Speaker 1 8:39

It's got to be scripted.

Speaker 3 8:40

Oh, I'm sure it is, yeah it's like this episode you're going to be the main one and it's like I was the main one two episodes ago well, you're going to do it again, you're just really good at it, your daughter's, off the show she'll never make it big.

Speaker 1 8:54

Well, yeah, I'm glad I didn't have to watch that.

Speaker 3 8:59

It sucked well thank you tell your wife to watch it, and I'm sure she'll agree with me she probably watched one.

Speaker 2 9:08

It's on lifetime it's on lifetime.

Speaker 3 9:12

It's normally lifetime stuff. It's like movies where a woman got away from a guy and somehow he got lit on fire. That's a lifetime movie that's pretty accurate.

Speaker 1 9:24

Yeah, well, I mean, I'm sure these kids are going to grow up to be wonderful people.

Speaker 3 9:28

I mean, I don't know who any of them are. I know who the Jojo lady is because I got punished and had to watch her movie. Well, were they at least good dancers.

Speaker 1 9:37

What little bit of dancing you saw. I don't know anything about dancing.

Speaker 3 9:42

I guess you got to watch Cats next I'm not watching Cats.

Speaker 1 9:46

It's already been used as a punishment. Oh those are the original Cats, though that's true watch the original one Mitch has got on his punishment list. Yeah, I'll get punished again.

Speaker 3 9:57

So here's two tickets to New York. You're going to fly up there with somebody and you're going to go to the Broadway stage production.

Speaker 2 10:01

Now I've got a punishment saved for today, just for Tom, if I win alright, oh god, we'll see what happens when it comes down to Trivia, trivia so I would rate this show 0-1 out of 10.

Speaker 3 10:14

Wow, what a surprise, because I can't go lower.

Speaker 1 10:18

Yeah, well you. The bar can only go so low, so you should give yourself space, because you act like this is going to be the worst punishment you ever have, and then next week happens. So right, punishment done. Thanks for going through that mess first time. Good job.

Speaker 3 10:37

Yeah, I dove on that grenade for everybody, remember me.

Speaker 1 10:41

Who had this? Who had to move is I?

Speaker 2 10:43

did.

Speaker 1 10:44

Go ahead and meet.

Speaker 2 10:45

Well, several weeks ago I watched the movie Last duel, which was pretty good, I made by Ridley Scott, the guy that bashes all the superhero movies that I like, but he does make good movies and it's pretty good. It's about these two nights that are kind of in a, I guess, legal battle you know of the time, because supposedly one like a cost of his wife while he was away, and you know. So it takes the three points of view and it's almost like a true detective meets the middle ages, because in the movie it shows you the different perspectives of each one of each character. You have the man who's trying to defend his wife, you have the wife and then you have the you know the accused and you see the same story through each point of view throughout the movie.

Speaker 1 11:37

Yeah, it's called the Roche Mon effect.

Speaker 2 11:39

It's pretty interesting. But essentially these two guys they're they're good friends. One gets accused of, you know, attacking his wife while he's away on defending the, defending the king and the kingdom, and all that. And it kind of goes from there, you know, one becomes more favorited, you know, by the king.

Speaker 3 11:58

So played by Ben Affleck.

Speaker 2 12:01

Yes.

Speaker 3 12:01

It's good. Well, he's not the king. He's like the he's like the regional.

Speaker 2 12:05

Yeah, like the region.

Speaker 3 12:06

He's like, he's the, he's the, the, the, no, the noblest. The list of nobility in the area the Duke.

Speaker 2 12:11

Yeah, cause this all takes place in France, which they all speak English every time.

Speaker 1 12:14

Don't we, Of course? And they all do. They have like really forced accents.

Speaker 3 12:19

Um well, at that time there was a lot of portions of France that were still governed by England.

Speaker 2 12:24

They didn't really seem to have like forced accents they. I mean it's kind of sounded like themselves.

Speaker 1 12:28

Really yeah, but I like the mad game, but, uh, I like dim apples.

Speaker 2 12:35

But it was a good movie and, um, I guess the way they did like the, the fight scenes, the few that they had, well, they've, I mean they just kind of let them go at it. It looks like I mean they were pretty brutal. You know, considering they were in all the armor stuff, it looked much more brutal than, uh, like Braveheart, other than like the limb hacking and stuff.

Speaker 1 12:54

And it was uh. So it's got Ben Affleck, matt Damon, Adam Driver.

Speaker 2 12:59

There's the three main guys.

Speaker 3 13:01

I can't remember what the girl's name was, though Um yeah, I don't remember who she was, I hadn't seen it, but I read about like the actual historical event. She didn't want to like bring like the thing up. Yeah, Because the way it was set up back, then the two of them would fight and if somebody lost or whatever I don't know which one of the two it was she would get killed too.

Speaker 2 13:24

Yeah, that's what it was, because they were. He was defending her honor, you know his honor at the same time. But they decided, you know, instead of going through legal troubles because, uh, adam Driver's character was good friends with Ben Affleck, which he was the one you know, the regional person, so just going through legal, like you know, documents and stuff like that, he couldn't get the results he wanted. So he went straight to the king and asked him, you know, for a duel, and the winner, like they said they'd let God decide.

Speaker 1 13:53

So they'd try to fight, fight to the death and the winners was speaking the truth. Well, that's an interesting form of justice.

Speaker 3 14:03

I wonder how that would work today.

Speaker 2 14:06

But yeah, if, uh, if Matt Damon lost, they were going to burn her alive, wow.

Speaker 3 14:10

Yeah, I did a lot riding on Matt David Wow.

Speaker 2 14:15

So uh, I would definitely recommend going to see it. It was to me. It was really good, is there?

Speaker 1 14:19

a definite resolution at the end. Like you, you know what happened.

Speaker 3 14:24

Yes, Possibly All right. All right, or if you could read about it historically it happened like what 700 years ago?

Speaker 1 14:32

Yeah, Just uh, I don't know.

Speaker 2 14:34

It was really neat just to see the different perspectives, because everything's shown has happened the same way, but little things would be changed to meet that one person's perspective of the event, which was pretty interesting. Yeah, I knew I would. You know I thought I would like the movie, but I actually liked it a lot more than what I thought I would. So I would, I would recommend going to see it.

Speaker 1 14:55

So okay, sometimes Ridley Scott has a good one, sometimes he's got a bad one.

Speaker 2 15:00

I give it probably 8.5 out of 10. Wow.

Speaker 3 15:03

Wow.

Speaker 2 15:05

One of the better movies I've seen this year.

Speaker 1 15:06

Well, what about news for a good movie?

Speaker 2 15:10

Well, I don't know about good movies, but leave the weapon five. Oh God, mel Gibson is going to be the director, I found out, oh wow.

Speaker 3 15:19

He's not playing rigs.

Speaker 2 15:20

Yeah, he's going to be the rig. Oh, he's also going to be the director, all right, cool.

Speaker 1 15:22

It's been a while since he's directed himself Um.

Speaker 3 15:27

I can't think of when he does it. Does he just put like a mirror and like on his director's chair and look at it?

Speaker 1 15:33

I hear from like watching documentaries on Braveheart. It's pretty chaotic.

Speaker 3 15:37

Like he's in charge. Yes, well, it was in Braveheart like one of his first movies.

Speaker 1 15:41

Yes, and he directed Um, but uh, yeah, I've heard some crazy stories about set stuff Like he'll just stop everything and then he'll like put on a clown nose and be like I need you to cry to me while he's wearing a clown nose and stuff like that, you know, just to try and get people's emotions out of whack and stuff. But you know, okay, yeah, all right, mel Gibson, he's all over the place.

Speaker 2 16:07

We also have the Ghostbusters afterlife that comes out this Friday, which, when you hear this, it'll be the previous Friday. But uh, they, uh, they said that Paul Rudd, like he got like the approval of Bill Murray, like you know, cause he's kind of taken over his place, is like the comedic kind of Dr Venkman. Yeah, so he kind of got the approval from Bill Murray and the rest of the cast. You know he did a really good job, so he's an official Ghostbuster yeah.

Speaker 2 16:30

I'm excited to see that. I'm going to go try and see it Friday.

Speaker 3 16:33

Well, probably be Saturday, but Well it's nice he like went to Bill Murray and was like you know they came to him.

Speaker 2 16:39

Oh, they were just like yeah.

Impeachment

Speaker 3 16:40

So he just did it anyway. Well, I mean, try to get prior blessing before the movie, like they just came to just wait. Hey, we watched it. Good job, paul.

Speaker 2 16:47

Pretty much. Yeah, I mean they were in it.

Speaker 1 16:50

I mean, if somebody came to you and said I'm doing a Ghostbusters movie, do you want to be in it? Would you say no?

Speaker 3 16:57

No, is this before or after the one with all the SNL chicks?

Speaker 1 17:01

I mean still after yeah.

Speaker 3 17:02

Yeah, I'd say no.

Speaker 2 17:03

Wow, Well, that one doesn't count, that one's not part of this story.

Speaker 3 17:06

It shouldn't be. We never should have been made.

Speaker 2 17:09

Yeah, this takes place, like the most recent thing in this movie will be Ghostbusters 2. The new one doesn't exist.

Speaker 3 17:15

Good, All right Then.

Speaker 2 17:16

yes, I would have been in it but that's all I got for news right now. So okay.

Speaker 1 17:24

TV. Mel Gibson directing and Ghostbusters Cool, all right, well, tv. So I watched a show to completion all the way. So I'm going to give you the 10 episode review of impeachment, an American crime story.

Speaker 3 17:38

It's just the one about a.

Speaker 1 17:40

Willie Clinton Bill what. Willie Clinton. What Willie Clinton, mr?

Speaker 2 17:45

Crooked.

Speaker 1 17:46

I did not have. This was like the most dramatic thing that happened to our country before 9 11. Yeah, you know, like everybody was talking about it.

Speaker 3 17:57

And it was just some hanky-panky in the office.

Speaker 1 17:59

It was, but it was so much more.

Speaker 3 18:02

If you think about it You're the president.

Speaker 1 18:03

Yeah, if you think about it from like the traditional, because the presidency is like the closest American kind of like, I guess, monarchy you can get you know. So there's like supposed to be this reverence, this like respect that comes with the position and whatnot.

Speaker 2 18:24

It depends on what your designation of is is here.

Speaker 3 18:28

What is here? Here's just there, without a take.

Speaker 1 18:32

So this was. It showcases like very heavily like all the issues of the 90s with technology People trying to get the Drudge report loaded up on their computer and it's, you know, going like the screens loading 30 seconds at a time and stuff like that, you know, and we've come so far. But yet that that internet is still faster than it is to publish a news article the next day by paper, and how that messes up and interjects like the typical news press releases and stuff.

Speaker 2 19:07

And it shows you how dumb some of these people were.

Speaker 1 19:09

Yes, yeah, all right. So the American Crime story is developed by Ryan Murphy. He did American Horror Story, so this is his nonfiction stab at stuff and he does a pretty good job making sure that people kind of be as accurate to what happened in the events. You know he did the OJ Simpson trials for the first one.

Speaker 3 19:34

How accurate.

Speaker 1 19:36

I think, like I think that if there's some ambiguity about what really happened, they kind of showcase both sides of an argument as opposed to just like. This is the way it is kind of thing and it's not. You know, it's not. I think everybody who has an opinion on these situations could benefit from the show. So that's season one is OJ Simpson. Season two is the assassination of Gianni Versace, which I didn't watch, and in season three is the president, the impeachment story.

Speaker 1 20:11

So this was supposed to come out in 2020. Covid happened and it came out at the end of this year. Just, it just finished its 10th episode, the final episode, I think last week or the week before. So that's the end of the episode. Yeah, so, and that was so, but that was FX only. So if you have an FX subscription, you can watch it. Fortunately, we know somebody who has an FX subscription so we were able to watch it, but it will come out on either Hulu or Netflix early next year.

Speaker 2 20:41

I mean, well, it's coming on Hulu. I had it recorded. Oh is it on Hulu?

Speaker 1 20:45

Yeah, oh, ok, well then, there you go.

Speaker 3 20:47

Breaking news.

Speaker 1 20:47

Because FX is Fox, which is now owned by Disney, which owns everything basically Hulu. So yeah, Clive Owen plays Bill Clinton.

Speaker 2 20:58

Really it was. I didn't know who that yeah, Clive Owen huh, yeah, they did a pretty good job.

Speaker 1 21:04

Sarah Paulson plays Linda Tripp.

Speaker 2 21:07

All their prosthetic nose is really hot. Who they are?

Speaker 1 21:09

Man, I don't know who they got to do the makeup and stuff like that for the people, but they nailed it.

Speaker 2 21:15

Yeah, you're just like man.

Speaker 1 21:17

That person looks so familiar. I mean I know it's Bill Clinton, but I just I know it's an actor, but who's playing?

Speaker 3 21:22

this. Who is that guy? And you? Look it up and like wow, wow, it's a little price.

Speaker 1 21:28

Yeah, the Sarah Paulson who's more famous from American Horror Story. She plays Linda Tripp and she she is almost unidentifiable, like between the prosthetics and her body movement, her acting.

Speaker 2 21:39

She.

Speaker 1 21:40

Yeah, she plays like that, like she, she, she plays like a. Reminds me of a very invasive librarian, you know like just the lady who won't leave you alone and tries to stir up drama for things that don't need to happen and stuff you know her character her character was very important to the story, obviously because, Linda Tripp's the one that records Monica Lewinsky talking about all of her sex copades with the president.

Speaker 1 22:10

But the show is definitely TVMA for language and subject matter material that we're talking about, but there's no sex. They don't do anything over the top with sex but they go into grave detail talking about what Monica and Billy Billard did. So and that's because you know, all those details were recorded and put out on TV, yeah, yeah. Like this cigar. Yeah, and you know, I did giggity herkish moikis with my and I'm truly sorry.

Speaker 2 22:48

How she saved address.

Speaker 1 22:50

Paula Jones. Oh gosh, Paula. Paula Jones, the actress who plays her, was really good. She plays as ditzy kind of taking advantage of women and all the media. Is like pushing her to tell her story just so they can benefit off of her and she ends up basically becoming your destitute where she has to do new shoots for Maxim or something like that, something like that.

Speaker 1 23:12

Hustler maybe it's hustler, but you know in this showcase like how taken advantage of these people were, and basically the only person that comes out on top are the Clintons and Monica Lewinsky, because she gets an amazing book deal.

Speaker 2 23:24

Yeah, but she has to use most of that money to pay for the lawyers that she has. That's true, but I'm so the. Clintons. The Clintons win, even though they cut the bill.

Speaker 3 23:32

He's just like I'm still president, hillary's still going to be mad at me. Anyway, it don't really matter Pretty much, and I got a little action.

Speaker 1 23:39

Yeah, it was good. It was good. They used all the famous verbiage. He took it out. You know, and you know what.

Speaker 3 23:49

Well, you got it out of the cabinet.

Speaker 1 23:52

What is is stuff like that.

Speaker 2 23:55

You know all the famous verbiage that makes you just want to look at the president and go.

Speaker 1 24:00

Yeah, and I think, like they, nobody is like redeeming in this entire move, the entire show. Like every, every person is dumb or has a stupid mistake, like even Ken Starr who's trying to get the president impeached. He's so concerned about the president's sex life that it's almost like dude, chill out. You know he lied under oath. Can we talk about that instead of like you know, whether or not he doesn't you know?

Speaker 2 24:29

I felt bad for the one FBI agent. It was like the first one to talk to Monica.

Speaker 1 24:34

Oh, Colin Hanks.

Speaker 2 24:35

Yeah, because like he was just trying to get her to tell her story and then his boss comes in and like railroads, like God, I gotta get this, you can't leave, you can't go down, right yeah.

Speaker 1 24:45

And then he was just like yeah, they just wanted it, they abused her rights and stuff like that they made it seem yeah.

Speaker 2 24:53

And well, according to the show, then his boss made it look like it, made it out like it was his fault that she went, and you know get screwed all over. Within the end it's like right.

Speaker 1 25:01

Yeah, we just tried to get the information Did.

Speaker 3 25:04

Hillary like play herself. No, All right funny.

Speaker 1 25:07

The. The character's name was. The actor's name was Eddie Falco. That's a girl's name and that's the.

Speaker 3 25:14

This Carmella from the Supremes.

Speaker 1 25:16

Oh, ok. Well, she played Hillary Clinton and she did a pretty good job. It was a whole lot of what, what, what, fuck, fuck, fuck, hillary. I'm sorry, hillary, you're my office.

Speaker 3 25:31

I'm banging my secretary yeah.

Speaker 1 25:34

Yeah, but she was the kind of make her out to be More of like the stable ground, of like oh she, she's the victim here and stuff.

Speaker 3 25:42

They didn't try to like make it out like she's like the emperor from Star Wars.

Speaker 1 25:45

She definitely was like you know, bill Clinton's like I got Delma wife and everybody's like oh, I gotta go. I don't want to be here when this happens but, uh, you know, beanie Feldstein does Monica Lewinsky and she, the actress, is Jonah Hill's sister and you don't know that until you research it and you're like, look at their face and you're like that is girl Jonah Hill.

Speaker 3 26:12

Yeah.

Speaker 1 26:14

And what's kind of funny and well, that's kind of sad is the trash she's been getting online, because everybody's like Monica Lewinsky isn't that ugly, she isn't that fat. You know, like jeez, I mean, you're not gonna find an exact replica of Monica Lewinsky and was a show called impeachment.

Speaker 1 26:32

American Cry Story. But, um, yeah, I was just kind of surprised at how people tore up this lady for her, for her image. I mean, I thought she did a pretty good job she was. She played a ditzy kind of naive girl that was in love with the president, you know, but it did a good job. Every character, every person betrays everybody in this show at some point for some reason and you know, mesa basically for fame and to the save face. That's what it kind of bowled down to, which is sad but pretty honest when it comes to you know what you'd expect America.

Speaker 3 27:08

Politics really does just look like no Jonah Hill.

Speaker 2 27:12

So my whole thing, though, was you know, they try to portray different ones as victims, but in the end, he knew she was married, or she knew he was married to Hillary.

Speaker 3 27:22

Yeah, and he knew he was doing wrong. The real victims, the American public.

Speaker 1 27:26

Yeah well, I don't think so. I think even that the show showcases how savage and just despicable people were. Like Monica Lewinsky is just trying to get from like her car to her apartment. Everybody's like how big was it?

Speaker 1 27:38

You know, is it true that you say a curse to the left and stuff like that and she's just trying to exist three years later, you know? So I mean that that's. This is coming from the, the, the JFK era, where, you know, obviously there are sex scandals but people were like trying to be reverent and respectful and just like oh, to like the internet, post articles and the drudge report and stuff like that in the early 90s, and then everybody's just losing their frickin mind about it.

Speaker 3 28:09

I mean, it's not like Bill wasn't as bad as JFK. No, I would like secret tunnels and passageways and models, good.

Speaker 1 28:17

Yeah, yeah. But then there's always like the conspiracies that they kind of tapped into like oh, the Clintons Murdering these people and stuff like that. You know, they all have these Clinton crime family.

Speaker 2 28:28

They don't murder anyone, they just mistakenly commit suicide on the right time in the right days.

Speaker 3 28:33

People aren't paying attention. The cameras go up.

Speaker 2 28:36

Everybody knows that.

Speaker 1 28:37

Yeah, yeah we've just been targeted, but I think, acting wise, it was pretty fascinating. The actors were we're like on point with their portrayals of each character. You know Sarah Paulson. Obviously, every time I watch her in something I'm like she's really good, but I don't think she can do anything else and I see her in something awesome, never mind she can do it, she can, she's really talented.

Speaker 3 28:59

She's gonna play Superman next probably so, yeah, I'd watch it.

Speaker 1 29:04

It's definitely an adult oriented show, but it's a blast from the past, that's for sure. You're like oh yeah, I forgot about that I have the 90s.

Speaker 3 29:12

It's a simpler time.

Speaker 1 29:13

Yeah, yeah. So there you go. That's my review. I give it.

Speaker 2 29:18

I give it an 8 out of 10.

Speaker 1 29:19

It's pretty good. I think it was a little long in a tooth. They probably didn't need to be 10 episodes and then it just kind of ended.

Speaker 2 29:25

Yeah.

Speaker 1 29:25

I wish that there was kind of like at least you know the graphics they explained. Monica Lewinsky continued to do this. You know, after this day she was whatever. Bill Clinton is still apologizing to his wife.

Speaker 3 29:37

She still won't let him forget it.

Speaker 1 29:38

So so, all right, that is my Reviews. Let's talk about news. It just came out which will probably be old hat by the time this episode airs, but a halo TV show trailer which was more of a teaser it was yeah, I just kind of showed my chief standing there, yeah, so, but let's talk about a weapon. It's like kind of put his helmet on. I think they showed some of his like scars and stuff from surgery that he had to get From the Spartan augmentations.

Sci-Fi TV and Game Discussion

Speaker 1 30:07

Yeah, so the production companies are 343 industries. Showtime, which means it's gonna air in showtime, and amblin, which we all know who does amblin now. Steven Spielberg, executive executive of this show. He's the E. He's the E of the ease, and this will air as a paramount plus original. Hmm, so I don't know why it's a showtime, then, but there you go. 2022, early 2022.

Speaker 3 30:40

It's gonna get pushed back. I.

Speaker 1 30:42

Don't think so. It's already been pushed back a lot. They they talked about them Wanting it to come out this year already and then they close it down because of COVID and then they picked it back up.

Speaker 3 30:53

So I was looking like in like developmental hell for years, oh yeah.

Speaker 1 30:58

You know, let me pull the thing. So the TV has gone through developmental hell. That's what Wikipedia says. Steven Spielberg has been the producer since 2015, and Then they picked up Rupert Wyatt, who I don't know who. That is an auto bathurst, yeah. So there's a. I can't even read. All this is way too much stuff. But there you go. Let's talk about the actors. So Pablo Schreiber we've talked about him. He's gonna be master chief. He's the dude from Orange, is a new black. Oh, like the first season, the guard that sleeps with all the inmates.

Speaker 3 31:39

I've never seen that show Okay well, we're guys, we don't watch that.

Speaker 1 31:42

You'd recognize him if you saw a picture of him maybe.

Speaker 3 31:48

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 31:49

Yeah, I can't see from where it doesn't matter, because they should never show his face. He was the guy from Den of Thieves.

Speaker 1 31:55

Yeah, yeah, you're never gonna. You might hear from him. I don't know if he could do the gruffy I need a weapon, master Chief voice or not, but we'll see what happens.

Speaker 2 32:03

Yeah, I mean, you're never gonna see him. So they could voice over if they wanted.

Speaker 1 32:08

Natasha Mechelholm is going to be Dr Catherine Halsey, which is, like, apparently, a very prominent character in this story. She, the actress, was in the Truman show. She was the guy. He escaped the show to go see the girl that he escaped the show to go see you know, okay, yeah, okay. The one that was like you know.

Speaker 2 32:33

This is all a show Truman.

Speaker 1 32:34

Yeah, what are you talking about? Um, I guess Ryan Murphy's relative named Charlie Murphy, which is a girl, charlie Murphy is going to be in it and that's about it. Everybody else is unrecognizable. Um, they are going to get Jen Taylor, who does the voice of Cortana from the video games, to do the role of Cortana in the in the show.

Speaker 2 32:57

Okay.

Speaker 1 32:58

I don't know how prominent she's going to be, because it sounds like this is more of a pregame Precursor to the original Halo Combat Evolved than the uh well, dr Holsey made Cortana so right.

Speaker 2 33:11

Yeah.

Speaker 1 33:12

Yeah, but I don't know how, how much of the actual game Combat Evolved. This show is going to take place with.

Speaker 2 33:17

Okay.

Speaker 3 33:18

But we'll see what happens Um so Because the chief and Cortana don't meet until Combat Evolved Right.

Speaker 1 33:25

Yep, but it looks. It looks pretty interesting. It looks like they're they're kind of doing things right. Uh, as far as casting and um, they spent I I know that they spent $40 million on production costs in 2019. So they've been shooting since then. Who knows how much they've actually been spending Um, but it seems like it'll be. I'm going to watch it. I love the games, I love the story. I think it'll be a lot of fun. So, yeah, I'm looking forward to that, and that'll hopefully be early next year.

Speaker 2 33:58

So there you go TV show.

Speaker 3 34:00

News review is done, james, let's hear it Star Wars, that's the old Republic On Switch. I've put already almost 40 hours into it.

Speaker 1 34:11

I believe it, yes, um, especially since I had this.

Speaker 3 34:15

I had I have two lightsabers. Now I am well on my way to becoming a Sith Lord. Um, I will say this game. I haven't played it since like 2003, maybe 2004. And the nostalgia trip was just awesome of firing it up and just seeing the Lucas film title pop up. Yeah, and you know the, you know the slow orchestra of the Star Wars theme, and then it cuts in like the cutscenes and tells you what's going on. And I'm like man. A game with a story, an actual story.

Speaker 1 34:48

Yeah, a standalone. A standalone Nothing to do with Skywalker.

Speaker 3 34:51

Yeah 4,000 years before the events of the Phantom Menace.

Speaker 1 34:55

Yeah, and I would argue on. I think this is the best Star Wars game ever made.

Speaker 3 35:00

It's definitely in the top three, if not the best, as far as I mean the gameplay. Some people didn't like it just because it is um. You know, it's turn based combat, Kind of yet, but it's super sped up where it's. It's constantly going in a cycle, so it almost seems like you don't know it is.

Speaker 1 35:17

It's. It reminds me of a war to war craft, where you start you. You initially you initiate an attack and your character does default attacks, and then you can do special attacks in the middle of your attack cycles, and then just whoever's left alive wins.

Speaker 2 35:31

So, pretty much.

Speaker 3 35:32

Yeah, so I'll be doing that. Then I'll switch over to like my special ones and then I'll shoot force lightning at people and then shove them off the map or shove them into stuff and kill them. So that's been fun. I already got most of the companions.

Speaker 1 35:44

Yeah, more importantly, I have a wookie. Did you get a HK? What's his name?

Speaker 3 35:48

HK 47. Yes. The best companion, the best of all time.

Speaker 1 35:52

I love his nicknames for me, because he's calling meatbag.

Speaker 3 35:55

Yeah, oh, he, he's he hates human, humans or like organ, organics, beings. His whole character is just sass and giving you people the business while working for you. Yeah, he's great, I haven't gotten to him yet. Oh no.

Speaker 1 36:10

Yeah, yeah, that's right. He's one of the last ones to collect. So, um, yeah, I uh, I don't know. I never played Sif. I was always a good Jedi a good little Jedi. I don't believe it. What? Yeah, I don't believe that Really I, I, I can't do bad characters in those video games.

Speaker 3 36:27

Well, this game it's it's very kind of dry. If you're going to do something bad or do something good, they're very like. It's up to you. You want to be bad guy, you want to be a good guy. Nightseer Republic two was more like a certain things you need to be like. That was really. That was mean. I didn't really think of it and it was. It kind of it was more of a gray area, but it also if, if you started doing stuff, it affected your whole party, right, and their levels would start to go up or down depending on how you were.

Speaker 3 36:53

And then if you did something out of turn, like if you were just like just bad, like kicking kids or whatever. And then all of a sudden, like you help somebody for one random moment and the whole party goes it stares at you like imposter and like be like turn on you or something.

Speaker 1 37:08

Yeah, I don't know what it is about games that make you choose morality, but I always choose based off what's good for me and my companions. Like Mass Effect had a I would always do the good guy route. And then there was a news reporter that came to me asking me questions and was talking a little key crap about one of my my companions and I had the option to punch from the face and I did, and that was the first time I did something bad in a video game and I felt bad. I reloaded it and did the right thing.

Speaker 1 37:37

I thought for sure you'd be like that guy annoys me, Pow I like my people and taking care of them and being a good example for the galaxy, anyway.

Speaker 3 37:46

For those of you who have lived under a rock the last almost 20 years and have never played Night Silver Republic, it obviously takes place 4,000 years before the events of the Skywalker sagas, where you play as a lone Republic trooper, and it's after the Mandalorian Wars ravaged the galaxy, and the two Dark Lords of the Sith are Darth Revan, who every Star Wars fan should know the name of, and, to a lesser degree, darth Malik, who supplanted him as leader of the Sith, and you're. You start as a mediocre Republic trooper who doesn't remember anything conveniently, conveniently.

Speaker 1 38:25

I think. Everybody knows the surprise ending at the end of the game.

Speaker 3 38:28

Yeah, as you go through to try to find your way to the Star, Forge you. Eventually it comes with the conclusion that you're Darth Revan and they knocked you unconscious and didn't kill you and they wiped your memory.

Speaker 1 38:39

Right, the, the Jedi did, didn't they? Yeah, and they tried to like reprogram you to be a good guy again. And it worked for me, I guess not for you, nope.

Speaker 3 38:50

Darth Malik guy sitting in my chair.

Speaker 1 38:56

You're gonna go get revenge.

Video Game Discussion and News

Speaker 3 38:58

This was fun. It's rough Even on. I'm not playing on easy when I'm playing on just like the normal, you know gameplay setting it's. I've died a couple of times. I mean it's not as easy. There's a lot of stuff that I've done now that I wish I do in 2003, because I could have made that a lot easier on myself, like fighting the Rancor.

Speaker 1 39:16

Yeah, yeah. And I remember the first time you meet a guy what's not at lightsaber, what's those swords called Vibrably yeah, you meet one of those guys and you have a blaster, I think, yeah, and you can choose to just like leave, but I really wanted that sword and he was way higher level than me and so it was like a 10 minute battle to get that guy dead and take his sword or something. But yeah, the game definitely rewards you for the effort you put into it, so it's a lot of fun. The saving. I remember being a nightmare.

Speaker 3 39:47

Yeah, you have to remember to save. It'll auto save If you go through, like where it has to load, to go to a loading screen and go take you to the next area. It'll auto save that. And I think a new feature is it auto saves every 15 minutes. Which 15 minutes? A lot can happen to you. But for those of you who might be playing it, the Rancor, I fought it head on.

Speaker 1 40:10

Yeah.

Speaker 3 40:11

It was like three blocks and it took like three days for me to figure out how to kill it and finally bring it down, whereas this time I used the girl mission, went stealth mode, crawled over to Apollo corpses, threw some grenades in there and some special spray. The Rancor walked over and ate the grenades and blew up and died.

Speaker 1 40:27

Wow.

Speaker 3 40:29

And I have to suffer through needless combat for nothing with a wookie.

Speaker 1 40:35

A wookie.

Speaker 3 40:37

But it is glitchy. It's crashed on me several times.

Speaker 1 40:40

Yeah, it's a switch port. So those are. Yeah, this is not a remastered, this is a ported game.

Speaker 3 40:46

It's not as bad as GTA Not nearly but I haven't gotten all the way through, so I don't know how well it's fully done, but it's still. It's still a great game, if which they're going to remaster it, I think, and that's going to come out on PS five only. That's dumb. From what I've seen, it's only going to be PS five. They might do it for Xbox later, but Microsoft just need to buy, by the way.

Speaker 1 41:08

I mean, it's been working so well for them up to this point just buying out companies. It's buy by way.

Speaker 3 41:12

There's a whole video of streamers like watching, like the trailer, and then it cuts to the lightsaber and those that saber comes up you see Revan's mask and all them lose their minds. Yeah, because it starts revving again and everybody's like yes, it's like look how happy they just got. Now imagine the Xbox guys getting that happy too.

Speaker 1 41:30

And look, we got, we got to mention it, we got to. I mean, xbox takes care of their people. Before their 20th anniversary, they just surprised, launched Halo.

Speaker 2 41:40

Yeah, an extra month early, yep.

Speaker 3 41:43

It's like, hey, it's for you.

Speaker 1 41:45

And it's for free. You can play it right now, the multiplayer that's never, a triple A game has never done that before. You know, which is insane. So they take care of their customers and I'm happy with it Well, that well, I'll let you get to your news.

Speaker 2 41:59

Or I mentioned anything, Okay?

Speaker 3 42:02

So my news Dragon Ball Z has announced a new video game. Oh yeah, but this one's a little different. This is called Dragon Ball the breakers, which is said to release sometime next year.

Speaker 1 42:13

Ball breakers.

Speaker 3 42:13

You get the ball breakers, it's just it's just, yeah, I'm just giving people the business and then you get punched in the face and die. Apparently, this is going to be similar to Dead by Daylight. Okay, as a Dragon Ball Z game.

Speaker 2 42:26

So that's strange.

Speaker 3 42:28

Yeah, you play the role of survivors, while one player serves as the Raider and the Raider is tasked with disposing of survivors, while those survivors will attempt to break out of the temporal seam that they're trapped within. Does this have anything to do with Dragon Ball Z?

Speaker 2 42:44

It doesn't tell me.

Speaker 3 42:45

There's a picture and it kind of looks like they got like the top gun wings at the bottom on the breakers, but everything's on fire and Cell is standing there smiling. Okay, so do you like? So this sounds like a horror survival game, do you?

Speaker 1 42:56

play with any of the heroes. Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

Speaker 3 43:00

No, apparently caught in an unexpected temporal phenomenon, seven ordinary citizens find themselves stranded in a temporal seam and they share the prison with the Raider, a menacing enemy from another timeline with overwhelming powers, and their only hope of survival is to break out of the seam with the super time machine. But the Raiders on their tracks are becoming stronger by the minute.

Speaker 1 43:19

It still doesn't sound like a Dragon Ball Z game. Apparently it does. It's almost like they made a game and somebody was like I have an idea, let's make it a Dragon Ball Z game. You have a week.

Speaker 3 43:30

This kind of sounds like why would you want to? A it's Dragon Ball Z. It's like you want to play as.

Speaker 1 43:36

Earth's.

Speaker 3 43:36

Mightiest Heroes.

Speaker 1 43:37

You just want to play as.

Speaker 3 43:37

Goku, you want to?

Speaker 1 43:39

play as Goku or Trunks or Vegeta or.

Speaker 3 43:40

Cell I played Trunks and I just don't get like why would I want to play as ordinary people in that universe?

Speaker 2 43:49

No, it's true, That'd be horrible.

Speaker 3 43:53

They could barely beat up each other.

Speaker 1 43:54

Yeah, remember that episode of Vegeta comes to Earth and he scans people. No, it's Raditz, he scans a farmer. He's like level five, and he just kills them by glaring at them and he just looks and goes.

Speaker 3 44:05

hmm, he's like yeah.

Speaker 2 44:07

I remember they go to the World Tournament later on and they're all punching the machine to see their power level and they're holding back super hard and they're just like ah Well, you got all the regular people just punching and just like read out or whatever. Then you got like Krillin, just like jabs it. You got Vegeta that walks up and just goes boom and just like blows the thing up.

Speaker 3 44:26

Yeah, he punches it like into the next city. He's like, and everybody's like huh, if I was standing there about to compete and I saw a guy do that, I go nope, I'm going home, I'm going home, I'm not fighting that guy. What'd you have, mitch?

Speaker 2 44:40

Oh, but I was going to say you also have the. You were talking about Halo coming out, but you had the fours of five that came out too. That's pretty good. I played it at some point.

Movie Director Trivia Game

Speaker 1 44:47

Yeah. Yeah, that was a fun game. I don't like racing games and I actually enjoyed it. So open world racing game.

Speaker 2 44:53

Who would have thought I just beat that one part that we had to get the speed limit. Got 212 miles an hour and then I hit a ramp.

Speaker 1 45:01

What car did you get? Lamborghini, oh, okay, listen, that's nice.

Speaker 3 45:05

Speaker 2 50:03

OK, I didn't know, he did those.

Speaker 1 50:05

Did Ridley Scott do LA Confidential? I don't think he did LA Confidential, but he was in four movies. I don't know what they are, but there you go. Next is Tim Burton.

Speaker 3 50:16

Speaker 1 50:53

You're on the Scorsese side of mafia movies. You go to Coppola or Apocalypse. Now Robert Duvall, yes.

Speaker 3 51:02

I was like I'll get there eventually. I was just trying to guess along your line of actors that you were Italian people, the Godfather, so Bibi Dbapini.

Speaker 1 51:11

So right now we're at seven to two, with Tom winning. All right, so here's what we're gonna do for the remaining 10. We're gonna do I'm gonna tell you the worth of a director and you're gonna tell me who you think this director is.

Speaker 3 51:24

Like they're net worth. Yes, oh God.

Speaker 1 51:28

All right, this is the only way you could think of to do director trivia. This director is worth $180 million.

Speaker 3 51:39

It's not a lot of money, is it? No, in today's, are these like famous James Cameron? No, no, he's gotta be worth billions, Ridley Scott.

Speaker 1 51:52

Nope, I think Ridley Scott's not on this list. Jerry Bruckheimer Nope, that's not a director, he's a producer.

Speaker 2 52:01

Christopher Nolan.

Speaker 1 52:02

You got it, Mitch. Good job, oh wow.

Speaker 2 52:05

I still know the director. I could think of Christopher Nolan, for $180 million.

Speaker 1 52:09

This director is worth $200 million.

Speaker 2 52:13

Peter Jackson.

Speaker 3 52:13

No, peter Weir.

No, steven Spielberg. He is on the not-score-sacy side of mafia movies.

Speaker 3 53:03

Francis Ford Coppola you got it, Tom.

Speaker 1 53:05

Ha ha ha ha. This is painful. Okay, this director, I said wasn't on a list, but actually is and is worth $400 million. Ridley Scott, you got this $400 million for Ridley Scott. Okay, this director wasn't mentioned in the prior list. He is worth $430 million. Okay, and you guys had tried to guess him for an earlier number. Michael Bay, you got him, mitch, he didn't buzz in, that doesn't count. You know what I'm gonna get it done. Michael Bay, uh eight, tom five Mitch.

Speaker 2 53:45

You still went and saw him.

Speaker 1 53:46

This director is worth $500 million. Spielberg, no, damn it. Peter Jackson, yes. Good job, mitch.

Speaker 3 53:54

He's just guessing what I don't.

Speaker 2 53:57

Yes, yes, I am.

Speaker 1 53:58

Now this one we haven't mentioned at all today. He's worth $600 million. He's also famous for playing characters in his own movies.

Speaker 2 54:06

Put in Tarantino. No Well, we didn't mention him.

Speaker 3 54:10

Playing characters in his own movies.

Speaker 1 54:13

His movies are notoriously low budget. Adam Sandler no, oh, that was a good guess. A lot of his movies are actually. He has a studio that's close to Atlanta.

Speaker 3 54:31

Tyler Perry.

Speaker 1 54:32

You got it Nine to six. This director is worth $700 million. Spielberg, no, peter.

Speaker 2 54:44

Jackson. No you already said Peter Jackson. Oh, yeah, james Cameron. Yes, that was my next guess. Oh, we got our. Yeah, oops.

Speaker 1 54:54

All right, we went from $700 million. This next director is worth $3.7 billion. Steven Spielberg yes, good job, mitch. And finally, this director we have not mentioned it all today it's worth $5.4 billion. George Lucas, you got it. Tom wins Woo.

Speaker 2 55:16

I wasn't really doubting that he was going to 11 to seven.

Speaker 1 55:19

If you actually tried Mitch, you might have won.

Speaker 2 55:20

I was trying when are you? I was guessing.

Speaker 1 55:23

Tom Hicks, Tom Hicks, Tom Hicks.

Speaker 2 55:24

Tom Hicks's brother. I had no idea, I was just trying to throw something out there.

Speaker 1 55:28

All right, one bonus question Double or nothing? Which director has the most Oscars for best director?

Speaker 2 55:37

Ridley Scott.

Speaker 3 55:38

No Scorsese, no Steven Spielberg, no Coppola.

Speaker 1 55:41

No Cameron, no Nolan. We have not mentioned this director at all today. No, gibson, no.

Speaker 2 55:47

That doesn't help me, michael Pei, no.

Speaker 1 55:54

Michael Pei Get out of here. He's not from our era, he's an older director. He was famous for learning how to do photography. During World War II he was on a battleship, took pictures with a camera I think he actually had a motion camera and took pictures of bombers and stuff like that. That's where he learned cinematography.

Speaker 2 56:19

I have no idea.

Speaker 1 56:21

He's good friends with Orson Welles. Orson Welles actually directed him in his last movie, john Ford. John Ford Never heard of him Most. Oscar-winning director.

Speaker 2 56:40

All right well.

Speaker 1 56:40

All right. Well, Tom still wins 11 to seven Close game.

Speaker 3 56:47

So this movie has a zero on Rotten Tomatoes, an audience score of 19% Wow, a startlingly, startlingly inept film. Ballistic X versus Sever offers overblown wall-to-wall action without a hint of wind, coherence, style or originality. Is that the name of the movie? Yes, ballistic X, like E-C-K.

Speaker 1 57:16

Is that the one on Antonio?

Speaker 2 57:17

Banderas.

Speaker 1 57:19

No, you're thinking of something about me, machines or something like that.

Speaker 3 57:23

So let's see if there is a trailer.

Speaker 1 57:27

Was this a foreign film? Sounds like a foreign film. How goofy the title is. So trailer number one you guys need to read more about directors. That was painful. We have much to go on. Someone's developed a micro device.

Speaker 2 57:45

A micro device Perfect assassin. Injectable Is it a frog.

Speaker 1 57:50

It's a robotic key. You can give it a state of heart attack. Lots of flashy lights.

Speaker 2 57:57

Two deadly agents. Is this a movie?

Speaker 1 57:59

Yeah, antonio Banderas, it is Antonio.

Speaker 2 58:03

Yeah, lucy Lou, I'm Lucy Ballas.

Speaker 1 58:07

Oh yeah, this came out in theaters, didn't it?

Speaker 2 58:10

Yeah.

Speaker 3 58:17

Startlingly looking in a different direction, All right so you get it.

Speaker 1 58:23

That looks awful. It looks like a. What characters in a movie would be watching an action movie?

Speaker 3 58:30

I just. The top comment on this is from Franchise Pictures. The one who brought you Battlefield Earth Enough said so there you go, mitch, you have to watch that.

Speaker 1 58:41

OK, what's it called again?

Speaker 3 58:42

Ballistic, and then the two dots. X versus seven X versus seven.

Speaker 1 58:48

Wow, that sounds terrible.

Speaker 3 58:49

There's something about Frogrobots, that's going to give the head of state a heart attack.

Speaker 2 58:52

Yeah, they're two spies that are both trying to like take it from each other.

Speaker 1 58:55

OK, well, all right, I promise I'll never do trivia about.

Speaker 3 59:01

Directors.

Speaker 1 59:03

About anything besides actors or movies in general.

Speaker 3 59:05

I mean it could have been worse. You could have did Laura that rings trivia.

Speaker 1 59:08

I'll do cinematography next go around. How about that?

Speaker 3 59:11

Clint, eastwood, clint Eastwood, clint Eastwood, clint.

Speaker 1 59:15

Yeah, I was surprised Clint Eastwood wasn't on the list of most grossing directors. Anyways, all right. Well, that's it for this riveting episode. We'll be back next week for episode 85. Goodbye from, goodbye from Mitch, bye, and goodbye from Tom and goodbye from Ian. Goodbye.

Speaker 3 59:38

Bye Fuck Every time.
