Welcome to applause just a glass the podcast that did turn the pool green by pissing it during the Olympics General Based on the fact we just watched angry birds and there was that you didn't realize the great mighty Eagle peeing review the Pool of Wiz yeah, it's a fool wisdom. Yeah, that was cute. Yeah, oh It's funny that I thought it back. Yeah, once again.

I'm so glad that like Cartoon I was at networks cartoon studios of like whoever and figured out that like adults are in the audience to yeah As was seen with the with sausage party that movie made up boatload of money It's not cartoonish animation, but still yeah, there were instances where I heard I had some friends want to go see it and They're like moms and brother kids and people were like new this isn't oh, yeah This isn't a kid's movie you might want to leave and the moms are actually really gracious about it I said like you know, oh, thank you good to know sausage party Really buried the lead with their trailers the whole thing's basically a can't we all get along with religion movie I don't know if the hot dogs. I guess you'd be an atheist. There's obviously a Jewish bagel What locks I Don't move there's locks with him while they were all in the kosher aisle I want because they're all like subdivided into like and it's implied like weirdly religious political boundaries, okay Because Frank the main character voice by Seth Rogen Basically is just trying to save his weird bun girlfriend and like tell the truth everyone that they're basically is no God Or that the humans are not gods To take him to like the great heaven. It's like that we eat them.

Yeah, don't have any of them He's joined by the Jewish bagel, which is really enough Edward Norton doing his what he I was impression. Yeah, I didn't realize it was him until later on. I was like oh Remember who does the peanut bread with obviously a fundamental Islamic No, they do they make reference to Holocaust issues But yeah, I mean really really crass but I mean really intelligent I would say the only two drawbacks to it are I'm a spoiler The last five minutes is pretty much one of the most disgustingly graphic food orgies. I've ever seen okay Oh, I forget to say that a semi-high plays a lesbian taco Yeah, who during the orgy eats out the the bun voiced by Krista wig and Chris wait like oh my god Like it's so good Frank and he's like I'm over here.

He's sure Oh, it's out. But yeah, it did for like a good like five like it gets just disgusting Like I said very graphically rendered. I've never ever wanted to see a peanut breads balls No, but yeah, there we go. Oh, they would be falafel balls Once you see it you can't on the seat and of course it came out that they treated their animators like utter and complete Dishes that that's so low is that they were making work overtime and I'm paid overtime And if they laugh they didn't head at them and eventually the studio I said that student did step in at one point and correct try to correct some of the errors and make sure we got fed and over times paid but at that point the damage had really been done and you know people were already pissed That's how you make a movie for one fifth a budget of you know picks are right there Animation yeah, there were picks our references which I really liked like the other was an a 16 or whatever the studio that Was a reference to that like the original studio room that stuff like that But yeah, I was I mean what's cash was great.

It was really funny, but it incredibly thought provoking in terms of the content I was I did not see that coming I just trying to save the food like you know like oh, it's an adventure right no No, it's a religious parable so it's me Rochelle came Rochelle what you saw she said that the big Carter Three times away in the booty why that's I don't know I'm guessing because of the content okay, I mean it's Yeah, I mean the time I mean it really means like a lot of fucking butt jokes and dick jokes It's a road in a global brain and it's gonna be so if it's not preacher. It's gonna have dick and fart jokes And I'm not not preacher head. Yeah, I get in this this dick shut off So I'm based on your recommendation. I started watching already down.

Yes. How much do you love it? I do love it I'm really sad. It's only two seasons.

Yes. I've already like halfway down with the second season Oh when the mega melonie comes under a place chain lunch. Mm-hmm. Oh my god.

Just the quote It's a boy at Stippler's mom like the last three or four episodes of season one. Oh Shenan I don't remember her name. Yeah. Yeah, Shen tweet.

I always think it's not Shenan tweet. No, um oh I'm thinking Jean's wife. Um, oh one of the name. She's in all of the all of the um She's in a best of shows.

She's one that owns the poodle that ends up with Jane Lynch weirdly enough I can't think of her name off top. Yeah, she's in a whole bunch of the Christopher guest stuff as well Yeah, I can't think right. She's on Yeah, she was in it. I just can't read those characters awesome, especially when he finally just breaks down starts doing drugs again First season was up where they go to the porn awards.

Yeah, you find it a giant dick. Yep But really The moment I was hooked is when on the first episode when they're talking about this is an actual term of measurement in bartending is a jigger One ounce to us. You know I'm going this already. He's like don't don't be serving them to jiggers.

Yes, he turns around to American couple and I'm sold like that's it I know that that set the tone for me and it does not disappoint all of the guests cameos There's a lot of recurring casting from Veronica Morris because it is Rob Thomas. Yeah, I think Paul Rudd looking sick Pretty well, um, he had a pop up on episode. I don't know. I haven't seen him pop up.

Yeah, you won't yeah Yeah, party down his hilarious It's streaming on the stars out that's I thought yeah, yeah I thought because you know I got me to run a commar's and was like you gotta check out his other show It's like it's just like legit straight comedy and with great some bell pops up again. Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, I'll have a yeah, the rival catering, which is a total ice queen. Yep Compared to the always delightful and super cute. Lizzie Kaplan.

Yeah, yeah I'm glad you like pretty down. It's a quick watch Yeah, and I think it's what maybe ten episodes season maybe 11 to 14 or there yeah, we just learned from just a comedy. I really need to do it So really not so you know absorbing won't be talking much about Mr. Robot the show There's these behind and I I don't want to it's one of those like I don't want to okay, that's how good it is Okay But we did forget to mention the death last week actually I completely had missed it I didn't forgot it.

I totally didn't find out about it until like three days later that Kenny I'm gonna make a big Kenny Baker died R2 D2. Yeah Which he was also in time bandits Yeah And a few other things too because he was just in that group of little people that worked together He's dead and I'm gonna show some respect by not going on For once it was a cartoon just a single panel cartoon that I saw like an editorial cartoon And it was Luke Skywalker and C3PO Standing next to an R2 D2 with no head on it or no with that on so it's a lot. He lost his heart or something He feels empty inside Oh, no, it was empty inside. Yeah, it was C3 goes right.

He feels empty inside. He says he feels it Which is right. I know it was meant to be sweet, but it comes across as a little like it did it came across a little Jokish, I know it's not like meant it, but yeah, it came across as a little crass and it was like But I know that Peter may you put out like a whole thing very touching about this time Kenny Baker on that sets People I listen to Hollywood Babylon And they were talking about it and apparently I play C3PO Yes, and hard to do again and Kenny Baker did not get along they weren't like friends They work together, but they weren't like friends or anything and hang out I guess the world was really upset that C3PO and R2D didn't really hang out in real life Kind of you know, it's like when they say cut and burn and you're like go fuck yourself and then like Yeah, the separate dressing rooms. You know what I mean like kind of breaks the illusion Well, I'm sure and I'm sure I'm sure it's something nice to say.

I'm sure so yeah, it wasn't like our enemies Yeah, it's not like you know when you you know You know you see her some Ford and Carrie Fisher and then Mark Hamill back on said you can tell it's like old friends Just you know one of those Yeah, I didn't notice until like three days after which I was like how did this escape me? You know, it's like god damn it 2016 like I you know You know I honestly I was I've been listening to see these in my car and I listened to this weird mix I just had this horrible thought so I hope I don't kill him Is I was like When Adam and you die I know right no, he's one of my huge huge anime thing But I was listening to desperate, but not serious. I was kind of like oh He's getting up there and he let a rough life. So yeah, yeah, yeah I mean not rough.

He part of the lot. Let's be honest. I think so to Bowie Yeah, I mean Bowie kind of went health at the end but you know, but it put his body through a fair amount Let me it was like, yeah, okay He died happy. He died, you know doing what he loved doing true But yeah, it's one of those one like they start They're all getting back that certain age and then all the punishment they put themselves through through the possibly 60s with 70s 80s And now they're in their 70s and 80s and you know, yeah So how about tickets this week to know I'm taking an actual vacation for a little over a week In October so I got an Orleans for the 25th and I'll be down there for Rudy first and Halloween And I'll be there in a couple days after that too nice, but the fly-after food was good It's got tool and nice digant word which is gonna be a little nuts.

Yeah, Alice in Wonderland Mute math is playing like all kinds of bands. It's not even heard of in a while like me math I even realized we're still around I never heard of them there They're probably heard of them. You've probably heard one or two their song one of their songs is really popular for a while Beats antique who played out here all the time. They've got like four shows coming up the next two months I don't know that they're more electronic DJ type stuff But the preservation it's like all these electronic DJs and then like rock bands and then the preservation hall jazz band like fuck yeah So hopefully no world is dried out a little bit the time I get down.

Yeah, really? Which I got to be into the eyes of you know New Orleans and actually hit that bad at my mom and my dad Just checking on basically and I'm like oh no they were fine But like Baton Rouge and sort of the northern northern like an hour north and a little west New Orleans They were in like 30 inches of rain in three days Yeah, oh good Lord, and then of course the rivers crest. Yeah, they're getting more flooding now Yeah, it's a mess down there right now, but New Orleans is okay. There's got a little bit rain.

So yeah, it'll be fun. It'll be a trip I was reading something that said like it was trillions of gallons of water that they got Across the whole no just in that area. Oh, wow. Yeah, they're saying like in those three days We as a whole got more rain than Los Angeles did all of last year and probably another year on time Oh, yeah, they've been a drop something well that like let me it's the whole joke like three drops We're in no one knows I drive in a lie right.

Well, it's the same thing Because they just don't get that much of it Nope, they need it, but they don't get it even we need it like I've just you know It's it's been a dry summer. I mean we got a couple of showers last couple days I'm ready for not Yeah, I can't even go around Yeah, then like my cousin's down there the day I get down there and then I'm on my first days like two days later nice I'm just not vacation set. I will not be answering my work email. I really like got it all up.

They don't make sure all my Out of office. I'm not excited about this at all. But yeah, my office should set up I'm still working on planning my actual vacation, which I haven't gone on actual vacation since I was 17 Yeah, this was this was gonna be a real vacation the first time a long time. I'm pretty driving into the heat So yeah, it's all getting Phoenix and Vegas.

So Yeah, actually really enough even though it's gonna be vacation I think I'm gonna end up recording an episode of something for you down there cool because I'll be with Matt So I'll probably will probably collect you and I will collaborate before I go down there and we'll figure something out for splitter Because I can't turn my brain off no matter what I'm doing I'd love to I love the time it's I've recorded damn in Vegas bad be fun. That would be in very interesting in Vegas in like Because I've our casino or casino bar. Sorry if it's not too loud. That's gonna draw back well as long as I'm not being drowned out by penny slots and Anymore that's true.

It's all like receipts. That's all credits You know again nice that same one last time. Oh nice. You know last year.

They called us Don't you are too worried that they're gonna recognize you no It's been enough turnover. There's been enough like we weren't in their face. They don't remember it was us So I'll probably be me and two other guys Yeah, this time they're like oh you can do the call they've got to do golf course and they're like yeah It's open another day. It's a restaurant doesn't open to like the buildings open there a day But no one really staffs it.

Yeah, there's a restaurant upstairs. They're like yeah See if you get the price of systems with the restaurant like okay, I could type almost how to do that my job right now Well, and oh that reminds me oracle got hit bad I saw something I saw the headline. I didn't read it oracle bought micros which is a major point of sale system that's what we use and First they said it's more really affected like the old school micro than she's which there's still like hundreds of thousands of in the world Because no one updates their POS systems so much But then it came out there that's way more than just the old ones. Yeah, yeah, I will look that up later and I'm going to bring up my house.

Oh, I got hacked. I saw that Joe is good the national security agency got hacked. Well, that's the theory anyway I mean obviously the guys is not coming in it But it does look like the tools that have been released. They were supposed to live from the USA so far seem to be from that Sector of the industry so speak and there's some stuff in there that like some of the got released while they weren't Completely insane.

We're unknown In like Cisco hardware like wow major companies. Yeah, like the batch of stuff got released in like the next day So I was like yeah, we have one really How was deaf kind of black hat? It was good good and besides Actually had a really great time enjoyed it not just the conferences I actually do some stuff in Vegas that I hadn't done before like that giant fairs wheel thing Did that went and saw the zombie burlesque which as goofy that sounds no no there's there was one There was one I wasn't old enough when and they've shut down was a couple of islands was the adult chunk of Baldur's new world. Yeah, they had I was there speaking of the last week It actually took so 17 so I couldn't get in but they it was over Fall breaks over Halloween, okay And they had zombie burlesque and I was course very intrigued not because I was like I'm 17 and you know basically watching a Reaction but right just because I was like the mechanics of that I wonder how that works Yeah, I was like fly off like I wasn't sure what to expect There's a show that some friends wanted to go to and they wanted us to go with him so he did And it was they set up a little story like as you get the theater and they showed this whole clip And basically because of all the nuclear tested in Nevada that turned a bunch of soldiers in the zombies that turned into a zombie versus human war And then there was a ceasefire and there was a treaty how I miss that in the news and the humans decided that They would give the zombies their prisoners for food and Return the zombies would eat the humans that weren't even them right and then the Situation that the club you're in is called club Z and it's there You know the zombie sex club basically okay It's the hottest zombie night spot in the world and this is the first night they've allowed humans Audience it was really good.

It was funny as hell If I find it when I go to Vegas and plan all the way it wasn't terribly expensive either mean you probably by two I think it's online with like 50 bucks apiece. That's just bad for a I think it's yellow shots of course Why wouldn't it's not to realize right? I'm assuming no Kinglands fall off No Good It's why I'm not going to Phoenix this summer But speaking of taking time off of the day job big news and I'm already talking about it on damn Which went up a couple days ago at this time of recording we got our press passes for well We've got no we've got the confirmation for NDK 2016 so excited So we're gonna be covering a lot of that we've got the guests I need to get the when the when John was the contact from last year Hopefully not moving and having kids this year well You just like I'll have to mention that yeah, I was like I'll have to mention me like I was a kid But uh, so I'm so I'm sorry if we can get some of the guests Interview that we want like Johnny Bosch who's the voice of Vash the stampede which I'm a huge fan of trigon Together the scorpion the Mortal Kombat. Yeah Lisa Landa who was and or any I'm in Attack on Titan.

She's back this year. Unfortunately, no tell us in Joffee. No Scott McNeil and no queen D. Oh three really disappointing like I wish it would come back this year.

That's especially like reconnect and say like Yeah, it's like you know tell us and remember sus after bringing mr. Mom. I would think yeah, mr. Mom then freaking out about flash comics So I'm excited and I think that is talking to Annie about being the fourth Okay, cool.

Um so that you know I'll remain so far social media stuff so that Annie's got access and yeah I'm she can just kind of go about her day. Cool. So I think she might be the fourth though This here would be a lot a lot I think she'll have a blast Let's see what's next. I watched nice guys, which is I got a dodge to accept that it was like drama Like I thought it was kind of like a black dahlia type of thing, right?

No, no, it's the new Shane black action comedy type of you know buddy cop movies known for with rang dawceling and Russell crow and basically the premises at set in 1977 and This porn star named Misty mountains Koreans her car through this like suburban house and his kid ends up seeing it while looking at a magazine with her in it And it kind of sets off this chain reaction of the the girls I think and Grandmother or something Swears that she saw her hairs Ryan Gosling who's a drunken Detective gifted but drunk based on you find out letters back stories like his wife died in a fire because he's like smell blind She's and he didn't smell the gas leak. Oh, and like just wasn't paying attention like So he and his daughter are kind of dealing with that Someone else hires Russell Crowe to who's effectively like Got an enforcer nut mop, but just okay you pay him to make people leave you alone right very random Reynolds Yeah, like the very beginning with the pizza pizza guessing Same yeah, well, that's the mercenary boy You know how like helps like the girl like with the soccer kid like yes, right? But that's kind of like Russell Crowe's character like he you know He'll pummel you for money, but it's arts in the right place right the most part He beats up Ryan Gosling to keep him away from this other girl Amelia that he's trying to find Can you find out through like a series of student names and mistake and identities like Amelia was Misty mountains. I think okay.

It's a very Byzantine plot actually I was very really impressed by how it's written and then Obviously Russell Crowe figures out that he's being played and goes to hire Ryan Gosling after like breaking his arm and Do you have any help bumbling Ryan Gosling is the very beginning of the movie he's trying to break into a place I like wraps up handkerchief like around his hand to punch in the glass and cuts his like wrist open He's like that's a lot of blood. It's a lot of blood cut to him in the end Yeah, but you have like a 12-pack the whole time going on. Oh, he's constantly like just got a glass of scotches And like there's a scene with like a swing in a hotel party Oh, wow. Yeah, from once you probably a big extra for not taking a shirt I didn't have a sure often blue Valentine Denny I don't know.

I'm not gonna very watch it because it's one of the most pressing I saw me was a drive I saw him in I saw him in I was at that romantic comedy movie with him in a stone I know it when you're talking about I can't even say something I love you or something. Yeah, I mean He was just sure both of them like all the time. Yeah, it's a lot drive. Have you ever seen blue Valentine?

Oh my god is the best Movie about two people falling out of love like it is heart-wrenching lead of pressing and the director was filled over like it's They just kind of scheduled a bunch of whatever it's all about in that or years. I think but at one point it's him and Michelle Williams, okay, right? Yeah, see flengers whatever they were divorced But you know what I mean? Yeah, and he gave them it's really cool He gave them each like different directions like he's like right now I'm like all you want to do is keep her in the room and he's like Michelle all you want to do is leave the room And there's like and they lived in the house while they were filming it didn't happen over years But yeah, I remember They live in the house where they were filming it and at one point like the virtual is like You range go try to sleep with Michelle like just to see like it and she of course I mean like kicked him out of the room and whatever but like it created that like onset It's but it's it's really fucking depressing because you're just watching this like Marriage fall apart all he wants is to get together and she wants to move on and whatever and it's depressing But it's like one of the best movies I've ever seen but I was like once I saw it once I was like yeah, I'm done I don't I don't need that.

Yeah, that was good. I don't need the feels that bad on this one right Yeah, nice guys is like I said the second most shing blackest movie I've ever seen the first being kiss Kiss bang bang is it's me that is like it's his voice and this one I didn't be like funny It's like lethal weapon like Ryan is so funny in it. So everything comes out of his mouth is so Just exasperated and just wants to be left alone, but like he's just like oh come on You know and it's like his daughter's really funny in it. She plays like you can tell she's got a bit of a like detective's gift as well But it's I highly recommend nice guys if you can find it on I think it's out on DVD at this point But I don't know what you know whatever streaming services.

It's probably on there as well I I it was so weirdly under the radar And I like I said it for me it looked like something like gangster squat I got promoted as something more dramatic not that gangster squat was really that dramatic and also was a piece of shit But right on we've had ring also you know, um, but yeah nice guys for the nice guys whatever fantastic Shane black continues to just wow me I don't like Iron Man 3, but I mean I could hear him Andrew Pearson script and that's what I liked cool cool So You're gonna eat up a lot of next week with Mr. I like your answer you want to do abs and red shirts? Yeah, well you're at first, okay My app which we totally skipped over the apps last week and that was fine I've been playing Guild of Dunge and Earing which I brought up when I recorded two three weeks ago Deb It's actually pay. I think I paid There's a $2.99 right in there.

I was drunk and you know, just gonna pay it and got a 19 cards I was like, yeah, what the hell um kind of walked into a blind it did initially crash a lot They fixed that within the 24 to 48 hours, okay, and ever since I played almost every day basically it's You you run a guild And you've got like a barbarian and as you unlock more rooms with gold Which I was bitching off air about how fast the gold accumulation or how slow the gold accumulation is I was actually at speeds up on higher levels when you start locking more and more areas the price the amount goes up pretty quick so I'm basically start up with like I think a Bruiser and a Some kind of wizard or something. Oh, other chump is like kind of the middle of the road So you get like a chump and an apprentice or whatever it is and as you get more gold and defeat more dungeons I'll get to in a second you can add on more house or rooms on your guild hall like a better phrase. Okay, anyone mock Rangers Holy nights Cool ones shift shifter mine Alchemist so I mean I'm like most of them at this point And then you can buy like you know you can add on like a woodworking and you get like slightly better weapons and you get a Like metal working to slightly better weapons. You boost magic.

They've got um buffs You can get that are really neat But then you'd say take your whatever Ranger as one of my favorite ones and you go and you explore around the castle Little just little quest maps. I mean it's not there's nothing huge And you basically get dropped in a room and get set of cards that are like enemies Cordores and halls and loot. Okay, and you basically build the dungeon and then just watch the guy walk through Okay, and if you die, that's fine because as they say in the game tips the graveyard holds an infinite amount of heroes you monster It's fine. Your bruise will come back like within a couple rounds of fun.

Your DM effectively your DM and you're kind of the guy because you they'll They'll kind of sound on their own You can kind of tempt them with a monster by your level like our bearings will go for that or you can tempt like someone else with like gold It's a certain room and try to get them to okay, so and if you survive the dungeons which I don't know No, that's survived more than like two or three tops It's just sad and funny They get what's called battle scars which change how they behave in the game Oh, wow, and if I don't play it often enough I kind of forget and you can like bring it up and say like what's this do but like our bearings like they'll always run towards a Hierarchy, you're like no, we don't have the armor right now like no go towards the okay We're just reflecting the troll now towards the light at the troll. Yeah, so It's a lot of fun. Like at first I was like when I was playing it wide a few drinks I was like this seems complicated like what there's a guy and they have certain abilities and then you have to build the thing And then what's happening now? And I was kind of like this is a little like a little overwhelming at first and then when I the next morning I played it was like oh no more on I just didn't quite understand like I didn't understand the card mechanics The kind of dragon drop and then sometimes you write yourself into a dead end I did that once where I literally couldn't solve the dungeon because I kind of block myself off Some creatures chasing you can build dead ends and trap them and then move around them But it's a lot of them.

It's really funny like they have it's it's kind of like I know you recently have the dragon soul It's not as like can't be funny. Yeah, but they have like all the little guys say really funny things the Rangers like Oh, I wish I had a few hit points for me Stuff like that And like there's one where it's like some kind of flaming elemental that was taking a bath and if you get too fast enough He's still like dripping wet from the bath to his weekend stuff like that Okay, where it's like it's kind of funny It's got a sense of humor, but really like I said like really simple mechanics once I got into it Lots of achievements. I've yet to finish a dungeon with a mine because Yeah Stuff well, I got one good move imaginary cannon imaginary cannon. Yeah, that does a decent amount of damage They're all magic based and it's like I tend to play bruisers both figuratively and literally in that game so If you listen to d20 proof, yeah, my new characters a giant hulking part not hulking, but big big dude I'm going back to playing big dumb guys.

Yeah, that's what I like to play Cool my app of the week is actually mr. Robot So they wrote they wrote a game basically And it's it's not terribly complicated. It's just a The story behind it is you you're on the street You see a phone laying on the ground you pick it up and it's darlene's home. Okay, and so And this takes place before they pack Before five time.

Yeah before the big pack on equark So all the financials really but now you're you're helping darlene This is only for the buddy darlene doesn't want to admit to Elliot for some reason that she lost her phone So like you're gonna take us from Elliot and from the dude that had the music that the dark down really contact guy and and you basically It's like I choose your adventure kind of thing where you choose how you respond texts Interesting yeah, I mean it's goofy. It's not like super involved. It's fun But like you have to social engineer lady into You have to what social engineer social engineer Pick the right text to it's like a mock you that ninja chicken flannel fantasy seven way to say the right things get it to join you Sort of but the game adapts to how you've been Responsible like you like right now I don't think the guy I don't think the guy I don't think the dark are we guys gonna talk anymore because he finally figured out that I'm not Darlene Okay, but like then you get like Ellie will talk to you for a minute and he disappears for a while and then you're stuck in tech There's a block number that you can tell it's Elliot what he's in Mr. Robot mode Yeah, it's kind of cool.

I mean it hasn't come out yet in the game, but yeah And then it's weird to give you weird text messages from things you get In his random group chat of people that think that's inside the game Okay, I'm gonna check this out. I'm gonna go through your actual text. Yeah, okay Because it finally there's finally a game that's required a goddamn network connection. You don't have to be on the internet You can actually yeah, I know right mr.

Robot Still a little buggy, but they're fixing them really quick like I got it the day came out It was doing this it'll do this weird thing where um You know when you get a new message in the game, it'll pop an alert on the phone well Under darkly my phone. Okay. Um when it first came out though like if you back around to the game It would tell you you had a message and you back the game There's nothing there so you back out of the game and then okay, so this is weird alert loop They screwed the programming on and then they actually wrote themselves into a corner apparently and you could you could get stuck in In the story They fix that yesterday so free after fixing yeah, yeah, what's it free? Maybe it was like two or three bucks if it wasn't free like two or three bucks.

There's nothing in game July. It's just It's fine Yeah, so yeah, I was just search for a lot and whatever apps were you're interested in see I'm trying to remember now It was good pay or not Um, did you I don't mind paying if it's right worth it. Yeah, no, I can't tell it's yeah, I did buy it I can't tell it's just under purchase period. Yeah, yeah Oh, yeah It cost anything it was like maybe a dollar to yeah But it is kind of like a two-jorn adventure taking neat.

Yeah, I'll check that out It's actually gonna register it but we'll just talk about it now because it kind of flows right into this We can talk right sure so that's fine. I'm that's it. Oh, okay Well, then I'll just my one red shirt because I was gonna bring this up and it ties nice into what you're talking about So I have done back and sort of listen to podcast again makes Driving up here so much more bearable then listening to like just radio commercials for about half the drive right um, but I managed to Finally get to the Remy Malick Christian Slater Episode of Nerdist, which it's a little weird hearing that one. It's a little weird Hearing them talk about it like when it's like right before the finale was up It went in aired like the week the first season finale.

So it's like what's supposed to air? Oh, right? I forgot the postpone that for that was funded like a week or something That's the guy that shot on TV to himself. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah They were just like oh my god the show's taken off we didn't think it was like we didn't yeah, like maybe we got a second season I'm like you have no idea Yes, because remember it aired on on on the web first like a month ahead of when it was on TV Um and it got in such a good response online really they renewed it before us I can see him before he aired on television. I think the only other show I can think of that that happened was better Call Saul. Yeah that got picked up for a second season before the first season aired because it was um which both shows well deserved You know that kind of attention um, but oh just the weird random connections I don't remember that episode where like Remy Malick took um christen Slater's step sister And like suddenly harvests about spam a lot at the holled bowl and like christen says oh, yeah, I was in that I met eric eilens like these weird like It really did like I know you don't like when yeah, I'm gonna say this like I kind of really did empathize and like get excited Like the way hard with the ex I was like this is actually really kind of weird. Yeah.

Yeah, um The episodes of narratives that I listen to um I think I've got a few more of those up the Paul Bettany one and there's I'm skipping hostels right now because I'm so behind um and there's Mostly guess lady though. I'm just like whatever delete delete delete. I'm not I skip like the nerd is at this point. I cherry pick um So I mean Douglas moves.

I'll get every episode and save them but um You know only so often I listen to one it's gotta have really good guess or mark wallwork Uh quote unquote mark wallwork. So we'll always listen to that or anyone any one of the plot tumpkin characters Um, I listen to okay, so if they you know that one that was earlier that was who was it? Uh garfunkel oats and quote unquote Werner Herzog That was the first one of the episodes of um party gown really part of half of them are The the the play the after party for the play Um in the little was it Ricky Lynn? No, was it the blonde or was it the Bernat?

Well, I think she's blonde now But she was kind of as well as she was an actress in the place She went wig and they had the dude like he was all drunk on wine He was like wearing the vines on his head and behind the bar. Yeah. Yeah. I can't really act as name the glasses dark here Oh Martin star.

Yeah from from tomorrow Yes from Silicon Valley's well, but the first one I recognize him is from uh adventure land. Yeah. Yeah, um He was also the bronchomars would be I mean it's but yeah the hard right the hard sci-fi writer. Yeah, dude him and Steve Gooberg it was really good too.

Which Steve Gooberg was on from the maras. I was Oh my god. I gotta go back and re-watch that. So it's such a quick rewatch.

Um, so Yeah, I think it was Ricky Lynn home is like the top line of the group Um, speaking of Rob Thomas, I'm gonna go in my wrist because it's kind of segmented He wants to do a TV show series for Lost Boys Him doing Lost Boys. I'd actually put some stock into it. I wouldn't It's actually an interesting idea. So he has a vision for the show that would span seven seasons And each season would be set in a different decade with everything except for the actual Lost Boys Wait, what?

Except for the vampires. So it'd be the vampires through seven different decades each season would be a decade Like so you're starting to six season and seven or whatever. Yeah, I mean, but every season's like a new decade Yeah, so uh cdU is interested because I see it as a replacement for the vampire diaries Which is supposed to end I guess soon I don't care. Um watch it.

But yeah, um Well, cdU is got a hit with you know, iZombie that's him Yeah, that's true. So it's not like he's like they're like, oh, you have bronchomars? No, you have a viable show on our network. So that's gonna give them an end Um and then other cdU is and some of this stuff is just rumors or people talking Um, there's rumors that tommy could come back to arrow the character tommy because of flashpoint Okay, um, I don't know why I mean I can just rumors, um, but if they were to do that then they could bring laurel back too You know, I honestly think I want to see my canary john t-ner like that's what I also want to happen Um, but And then so they're doing the four episode like doing the four show crossover supergirl flash arrow and Um, but apparently another musical crossover with flash and supergirl I think I read that and and they haven't said he's directing yet, but josh we didn't Absolutely direct that he should respect every musical like episode.

Yeah, and dr. Horrible. Yep. Um, because after buffie like that's what everyone was doing Oh, they'd buffie had to hold off because he had done it first.

I think who did it first zina? Where he turns out. Oh, yeah, that's right. I think they did it first while buffie and they were like, okay We got to wait a season so we're not doing two didn't they did one early on in the show You know They reference it there are times where they show like like other characters or like something's going on the background What someone else is singing?

Okay, they do like flashback. Um, yeah, they do they do return to it. Um, but uh, I you know, I think it was a musical episode of brave and brave and the bold the pivantic cartoon with uh, yeah There's also I actually was kind of like, I don't know There's like, oh, this is like the greatest silver age cartoon ever because it's like the sheer wacky campiness of it all um and uh I think they did a musical episode where it was like a fiddler that music mister. Yeah, guess what he does.

Um But you know like our music mister or some you know some musically themed. Yeah, so I mentioned that's what they would do Probably unless it could be pipe-piper. He's back. That's true.

Um, and they're well, and they're gonna have mirror master in them in the season flash You gotta be Scottish. I don't know. I don't know who's playing him yet. Um, speaking of DC though and Batman in Batman number five Which is apparently coming out soon.

It's not already out. Alfred actually wears the Batman costume and flies a bat jet Huh, and apparently does this amazing dialogue or monologue rather as if he was talking to Um versus dad. Oh, how about all the things he's done to like fulfill his promise to help this Oh my god, that's amazing and heart-wrenching. I kind of want to pick up the comic or at least find it just to flip through it But when's it coming out?

It's Batman number five. I don't know what I have to look at when it's gonna be Because if I if I get through rack girls quick enough which we'll talk about hopefully next week If I get through rack girls quick enough, I'll probably run to like my eye or all season I'll pick up a copy of five for you. Okay, I would have like nine inches of fight club on backwater Um, I'm coming up just blowing them to a gun. I can truly afford to buy two copies of that crap anymore But um because I couldn't afford about you guys more than the one issue of dark night three because they were like They were like six bucks or something.

I was like stupid expensive. It's like here you guys get one. Yeah, but after that In other comic news marbles runways, I don't remember the title. Um originally written by Juh- no, uh, not Juh- I came on.

Yeah, I came on. Adrian, Alfred, Alfred, Alfred, Alfred, Alfred, Alfred, I'm sorry. Sorry. It would be the artist in 2003 Um, girl with a pen, Velociraptor.

It's coming to Hulu. Yeah, yeah, I read that Basically the premise of it is that it's the scuba kids who find out that Their all of their parents are um, this cabal of uh super villains. Yeah called called the pride. Yes the pride But it's not like it's not like Victor von Doom jr.

I mean they're like they're made up for runaways except for one character Which I'm not going to reveal There's one that well as long as it's still marvel they can technically still do it. Um, so I don't know You know, it's marvel doing with it. Okay, so then yeah, um, it'd be interesting to see if they do the character I'm thinking Yeah, I'm sure you know one of them's got a pep raptor Cool It's a show that can be tweaked very easily into something for millennials, um, or even um like young adult It's something that with the kids being like 17 18 whatever, um, it's something that there's definitely a market for like the teen superhero market Really hasn't been tapped. No, I think going back and watching some of Marvel stuff.

I'm going There's not a lot of me Clicks which good job, um, you know, but he was already grown up at that point. I like it wasn't like let's go punch it Learn the face cap. Um, but uh, the like teen hero like really there's nothing I can think about how I had that Has happened recently where I think it could be with powers legion, but like he's gonna be in his 20s. Yeah, he's supposed to be older You know what I mean?

It's not So yeah, I'd be interested to see what they do from us. Um, chair Lido has joined um laid rot or two Um, but before he was out of the joint or two He was complaining about how the Warner Brothers tricked him into playing the Joker Forgot Yeah, first off you haven't seen the funnel cut here apparently refuses to watch it or has not decided to watch it I don't blame him. Um, yeah, we did our rant But like what do you do? He left himself in a room in the 19-20s gospel.

How do you get tricked into fat? I don't know he claimed to see he was expecting to be more artistic or something I don't know all I know is he played the worst Joker ever and maybe this is just him trying to distance himself because I mean, it's the Joker I'm curious unless you bring something completely new to the table like the way Nicholson did to since he's from a romeros performance and obviously he's led her to Jack Nicholson's performance And this death is still fairly recent. I mean, it's not like dark knight went away No, um, you know, I mean, how many what verdens Batman was? Dark Knight was easily 20 years after that.

It was a while So I mean at that point people I was at us. I mean people like our age like they don't know Jack Nicholson's much Like I didn't really know Caesar or Metwell like that's not true, but yeah, I'm a different breed on that one. Yes. Yeah Um, you know, I was actually talking to Brandon upstairs off air and I was talking about it I thought they'd couple of course they've done see Swiss that's what after me Um, we're talking we went here's how to fix it had we been able to write it taking changes completely out I don't think or keep her on the team too powerful.

I think okay Um, I mean I fight a powerful character though I think what they should have done is take it a nod from because they're killing an animation Um, taking that to assault from Arkham where basically they have to break into Arkham to find the riddler because he knows where Joker is dirty bomb I'm not saying do that exact plot but that Batman gets the Joker puts him in Arkham Joker takes over Arkham for whatever reason Um, and has like some kind of threat to like, you know, the nearby Gotham city Batman's on his hunt for metahumans So he's out. He's you know, in communicato So they have to send and task force to get the Joker then Joker gets all the screen time You can tweak him however you need to and you still get to play you can still get to play more with um crock and dead shot and boomerang and Who cares? Um, oh, that's the least I just didn't go it was just weird because it was like there was no point in being there Like other than to watch his head blow up. Yep.

Well, he was there to prove that the other threat or the bombs are real But it's like he excels in What is it like grappling ropeery or whatever dumb thing? Slipped up something is literally he knows how to tie knots. Yeah, like that's literally the I mean if you look at him right now, like that's the character I think he was like in the Navy and he like became obsessed with knots like it's something so ridiculous Um, anyway, sorry I grant over that's fine. Um, so I saw a video clip of an interview with Cecil Baldwin Uh, he actually came out as being HIV positive.

Oh, he's apparently hundred ten years. Well, my own sense is Yeah, and that's so the point of this video clip was basically Throwing out the ideas behind HIV and that is like, yeah, the wrong Well, how long is magic Johnson at it? The mid 80s. Yeah, but that's a lot of money.

That's a lot of money Um, then I was somehow, you know, he's been HIV positive for 10 years and and you know, the kid was a kid that has talking to him Um, I don't know if he was HIV positive either or as well But but he was like, you know, he'd ask he'd ask a question or he'd state something that was obviously the the stage or whatever the myth Um, and the stuff you just you just think after watching the band plays on and going well, that's the science Right. Um, and so you know, at the very beginning He's like well, I've been HIV positive for 10 years and there's days where I feel really healthy and there's days where I feel really unhealthy And that's nothing to do with my health. Yeah Um, and then at the end of it, I was like, oh, so, you know, how do you feel that you've come out? And I'm up until the end of it.

I realized like he wasn't public about this. Um, I mean gay or HIV No, no, no HIV. Yeah, no, he's not looking at it like this. I mean, I knew he was gay.

Yeah, I went to two. That wasn't hard to pick up. No, I didn't get new Um, but yeah, he came out as being HIV positive for the last 10 years and I was like, you know, I was kind of nervous about it, but I'm really glad I did it Well, I mean, it's like coming out of the closet where it's like, you know, you have the right support system In place. It's not as scary as your brain makes That's what I mean, I think he did it.

I mean, it sounds like he did it for educational and they can go look like this isn't The feeling yeah, you know, and it but it used to be it doesn't mean you should still be safe No, that's also that was something that maybe I was kind of watching it off I had a playing in the background basically so I was listening to it, but I might have missed it My issues when they talk about things like this they almost like This isn't just because it's manageable doesn't mean you yeah, it's not be safe and if you get it then you're like gonna be one of a fine That's not the way it works Life is still massively changed forever. Yeah. Yeah as well as possibly a lot of other people's yeah Shifting on something a little funnier than HIV you don't say well the high five McDonald's they come out early this week like Monday or Tuesday. I think it was Monday.

They're like we're gonna give away fit distractors. We're having meals Which well that sounds big brother Highly ironic considering like a cheeseburger McDonald's 150 calories and require a kid to walk like three hours or exercise for three hours to get rid of those 150 calories for cheaper and that's not even like probably because there's more bread than me But within like two days of them announcing it they came back and said we're no longer shipping them with our having meals because the plastic bands were giving children rashes So we went from him to hives. Yeah And I'm sure these are cheap made with god knows what chemicals that Chinese led plastic Yeah, you know cheap is plastic. They could find I'm sure the trackers worked about as well as yeah keeping track in your head But yeah, I just the whole idea of them shipping them when the first place was kind of ironic and then To come out and cost damage to these kids was just like well, let's have an under-in-fifty calories because I finally finally broke down I was like, okay, I'm gonna get a Burger King and I'm gonna get the mac and Cheetos or whatever that was Oh, that Cheetos they didn't have them anymore.

Oh, what the hell man? I didn't last one. You know they have I didn't get it. I'm so proud of myself Is it so it sounds so gross when I say the Whopper Rideau It's on a Whopper Rideau.

It's a Whopper in a tortilla. Oh god. It's a Whopper Burrito. Oh, that sounds gross They actually reviewed it on Nerdist.

I thought it was only on the good and disgusting at the same time There's a part of me like I kind of want to try it right now because I don't want to like walk and go Do you have like fried mac and Cheetos? No? Well, then I'll say the Whopper Rideau. Like I don't need to be that guy Especially now that I've lost like they're deep fried mac mac and cheese and Cheetos.

Yeah, yeah mac and Cheetos Which I'm like I don't care. I want it. I kind of thought I want to try it. Yeah, I mean it's not like I would be eating it every day But like I'll go again.

That's what I mean I'm a little disappointed. Yeah, so I'm hoping they bring the mac and Cheetos back quickly enough The Whopper Rideau, I think I'm gonna break down and just do it. But it's like I don't eat that stuff Often at all so I'm a little worried about it's affecting my system because I actually I mean I think I applied to it I've lost I think almost 40 pounds. Yeah, and uh, I feel good.

Um, I look good. I look a lot better laying down But uh, I'm not as jiggly standing up I honestly I honestly think of that line from American Beauty where it's like I want to go I've got a personal trainer and it always goes like what's your goal? That's always the first thing they ask and I really do want to do like the lesser uh, lesser burnout and go I just want to look good naked like that. You know what I mean?

Like I don't want to be buff. I don't want to I just don't I don't want to feel ashamed with the like Yeah, no, I hear it. Um, so my last retcher is and this was what I told a little bit about this author. Um, I have a shame black Retcher.

Um, he wants to do a monster slice sequel sequel or reboot sequel as in same characters all these years later I'd watch the crap out of that. There's one. There's a handful of people where I could be like, I'll see it Like him. Yeah, can't doing it.

John Favreau. I would say could do it. Yeah, um, there's I mean, there's a handful Um, but shame black. Yeah, definitely Who's doing the um, he man movie?

Is that Mcgee? I think so Hmm Because I listened to the again like this I listened to the um, have this get made with masters of universe Which we actually would talk about on this months ago when I re watched it. Yeah, and it was um them and um, you know Them are those yeah, yeah, and um or from black herself. Oh really?

It's like hearing like those were talking about it. It's awesome That's cool, but they talked about like how they're you know, he's gonna get read Wasn't news at that point, but I won't be doffling in this time It's gonna be probably the rock. Well All I have to say is if they're gonna make a monster squad monster sets what you sequel at some point We have to hear the words wolf man's got nars That's what we should have opened up with we should have been like Hey, the only show that prefer a monster squad do a suicide squad. Oh god.

That'd be so awesome There you go. Maybe that can be the way they save suicide squad is a sequel is they throw suicide squad against wolf man The universe monsters and they get saved by monster squad. Well, I mean one of us losing so much money on these damn DC movies Mostly I guess the first one might break even it's hit 500 million this week It'll break even it might not because they're not able to show it in China They can't edit enough to get it passed because of the theme and the and the I don't know I learned a song to someone about and they go. I don't know suicide squad.

I went No one in the movie Can I suicide right well? Slip that kind of I know and I went what I got a really mean to like um Yeah, no, I mean think about it again like because I think it's universal is doing the monster right universal is doing the monsters There hasn't been another movie but they did track you that's it Is losing a fair amount of money universal isn't making a whole universe Legendary no they could they could combine or not just do this one thing they could combine and save both universes by Doing suicide squad versus monster squad. I'd watch it. No, I don't know if we actually No, because Godzilla is owned by legendary Which owns which they're doing king congress That's gonna be the one that's after conga lander whatever They haven't done anymore the monster movie because they were like creature people like going into mummy wolf man and Frank Yeah, we're listening January movies go to die there are a few movies come on January.

I'm starting to see I'd sort of like wow It's just you till there's no face. Yeah, which I will eventually see um Because January's like it's like schlock. It's like it's the world Movies go die. Yeah, so I'm of course I was looking forward to the front of the year But um, yeah, no they only did Dracula which was mediocre at best.

I haven't watched it yet. It's alright It's better than drag drag to the 2000 or whatever. Yes Let's start. Um, I still think the best looking Frankenstein was still the one that was in um, Van Helsing Yeah, best looking because he was all like steampunk.

It was cool. Um, I bring it sounds a mess Okay, it was like trying to be it was trying to be to an act. Why like um, what's the line with like a beck and sale underworld? Oh, okay But it was like gargoyles and yeah, so from the trailer's reminded me of like Constantine and underworld But like the worst aspects of both those yeah, I'm not good.

No You did hear that Matt Ryan's gonna be the voice of Constantine in the the justice like black animated. Yes. Yes I'm just glad I'm gonna keep going with it. They're like all right didn't work out, but well You can be on arrow and see you executives are saying he might come back and I like they want to work him back in As Constantine We talked about that already She said don't forget about the lego batman movie.

Oh, yeah, we did that last week. Yeah, I showed in the trailer last week We get back about it. It's pretty funny. So um, yeah, I watched the lego movie actually a couple days ago Yeah, I watched it a few weeks ago.

It's still funny. Um, but I'm looking forward to the batman Yeah, it's coming out in January. No January February February. I got it in January.

Oh, well Unless they wanted to just like overtake everything which was Yeah, the biggest January release right and I could name the last like big January release probably 1978 You know, I mean before like market trends kind of don't really wiped out You know when you see the rise of the summer blockbusters and they like what you know, they're running summer blockbusters this month this summer They really weren't like there were movies that made a lot of money But as far as like like, you know, I mean we're superman made a lot of money not enough but a lot wasn't yeah wasn't wasn't Going off of the tent bowl now Um, right below the nothing till November the marble movie Captain american 3 so war. Yeah, what was the blockbuster? That was well, did that consider summer because it happened early in May? I mean getting it.

I mean it's beginning May. Um, maybe that's there. Maybe if you saw that's the only one like yeah, is there anything else? Uh, what's the other one we got next dr.

Strange finding door? You did really well for good. Yeah, but not that's not you know, I mean, that's not Yeah, dr. Strange.

I smash him up. You know, that's not That's actually a bad example, but I'm like in terms of like sheer spectacle Yeah, which I believe that's actually really black rewrote that. Yeah, it's been a big in a big too tanked didn't do well. That's why I didn't do well that never super did do well.

Um, yeah, there's really nothing all the movies that I was expecting to like Explode didn't do well like there were records that sure but They deal So far the biggest action would be of this year dead bull. Yeah, absolutely. Um, did we even you know, he said about a great had a great opening weekend? And almost lost almost lost a 30 second week based on word amount.

Yeah For both for both of these. Yeah, um because because they they set a record for like the biggest opening in august Um, but then they lost sixty hundred percent the following weekends No, I mean, you know, it's the biggest loss. I can't remember that ever 69 Yeah, so I mean you have to be able to keep at least I'd say because I mean times of juicy guardians of the galaxy in theaters I only saw it once in theaters, but I bought it and watched it at least four times You know what I mean? Like it's movies like that like I'll go again.

I saw it tenfold three times I bought it and I've watched it kind of since then yeah, um Whenever some work comes out of that too because I really I'm sure it's soon just anything about yeah It should be that's a few months soon. Um, dr. Strange's next and I think guardians is after that And then four regga That would be interesting. Yes, get the comedy director on it.

So yeah, sometimes movies are just taking time time box. I just didn't go off Duds. Yeah in both in both in both uh, yeah, both meanings duds lame ducks Or they were not good. No No after watching the movies you like That's why I do like to match because I stunk you need a clearly air.

Yeah I think that's it too. Yeah. Thanks. Drop in host gummy drop in guest drop in guest And I guess we'll see you next week.

Yeah, like I said the only show that for the monster squad that is suicide squad Oh, yeah This has been a blood alcohol content network production for more information visit www.vacn podcast.com your home for almost bacon and banjo
