Welcome to No Claws, just the clap. The only show that actually Googles if there's an equivalent of Dora the Explorer in Mexico. Is there? No, like my whole theory would be like some guy like old kid named Dave.
Dave the Explorer? Well, like, yeah, or like the Explorer dot or whatever the fuck you'd be. And then he would speak in Spanish but teach them English. Fair enough.
Like, you know, like you're like, oh, I know they have like dubbed Sesame Street in other countries, well like an actual Spanish Sesame Street where it's like puppets teaching children how to whatever about the color of school and you know the number and the way they because we do know what I mean. Like, but I was like, is there the quill? There is not. Those conversations 10 times more funny when I first had it work.
So, well, no, I'm just trying to imagine what that would be like. But I imagine like he'd be like, he'd be like a little kid, you know, just like Gucci. And he'd be like, oh, yeah, I'm old Dave. I'm being on the last day of it.
It'll do to be no? That's not Spanish. You know what I mean? I said nobody could see your finger motion.
The finger gun. Yeah, doing finger guns. And he'd be like, you know, today we're going on to a volcano. Do you know that word?
Volcano? Oh, this all started because we're talking about how I think it's kind of creepy that in kids' cartoons now, the characters give the kid time to respond to them, which I understand the premise. I understand that the kids get involved. There's an interactive component.
Well, it's also supposed to help with verbal skills, but yeah. Okay, yes. See, many things. But, and I of course look at things like this from my adult point of view where I'm like, Dora just stared at me for six seconds.
And I didn't say a goddamn thing. I don't know what I'm following. But what if the kid couldn't count to six for whatever reason? And now she's like, good job.
And he's like, I didn't do it. Like, is she kind of sending to the kids? It's just fucking weird to watch in the middle. And you have the thought process, of course.
Because I'm a adult or I'm like, a kid wouldn't, you know, may understand this. She can't hear you. She's a cartoon. You're talking to a TV.
I think unfortunately that also sometimes trains people to me that's saying kind of doofecbags that scream at a TV during a sporting event. Yes, but adults have, like they know that the players can't hear them. I'm showing them. On a certain mental level, maybe that's where the beer comes in.
Anyway, so follow up. You know, I love RuPaul's Drag Race. Because it's impossible to be angry when you're watching Drag Queen's side of each other. I totally fell down this YouTube hole.
And I was going to say every season they do a game called The Snatch Game where they do their best celebrity impressions. And I found an audition tape from one of the former winners, Beacadale Ray, where she's doing a Dora the Explorer impression. And it's fucking hilarious and uncomfortable at the same time. Oh, wow.
I'll make you watch it later. Wow. Yeah. Yeah.
It's uncomfortable if hilarious at the same time. It was, Canada's got their own version, which is Kailau. I knew that one. But the kid looks like...
They played that on a junior, too. I'm not going to say the artwork, but that's what he looks like. He looks a little down the knee. He looks like a waterhead.
Take it back. Water head is really bad. Which one would you prefer? He'd say Hydor's Valley.
Hydor. He called me her little water beady. I used to freak out a lot of bad boys. Yeah, I remember you saying that.
You used to be an inappropriate artist. What I would do? In a pro. What I would do.
I would put my hands behind my neck. So that guy like pulled that wing. Like little chicken. Yeah.
I love that we're both doing it. Yeah. And I would stroke her with my elbow. Like that pulled the tiny hand.
You know what I mean? Like she'd be paying attention to TV. I would just do it. And then I'd be like, here we go.
I would just start talking sexy in the Billy Chris. I'm not going to pour it in. And she would flip the fuck out. So it's one single.
Because these other things that I'd use me within a relationship. So I'm an acquaintance who totally has a prosthetic leg. And he totally used to occasionally slip it off when people were paying attention to poke people with his stump. Oh.
Yeah, I know. Oh, not. One of my favorite stories about him was when he first started getting used to his prosthetic. He got in a new one.
Maybe he just got in a new one. And he looked on the second floor at the department building with outside stairways. And he was walking out. And he was in the winter.
And something he slipped or something. And his leg fell off and fell down the flight of stairs. There's a whole bunch of neighborhood kids there. And one of the kids points out and started screaming.
He's got a mannequin leg. That's terrible. I told you about when I took out my dental prosthetic. It's a scare that can be all of me.
You got to get started. Yeah, he did. I give it to the dick. Let's get right into it.
Because we're both doing a little rough. That's fine. I watch Finding Dory. How did you find it?
First of all, the pipe pals freaks me out. Pipe pals? Pipe pals. They talk to each other through the pipes.
I was going to say in the aquarium. I don't think we should be bringing that phrase into children's finocular. How is it? Really cute?
Sad? That's kind of how it is. There we go. Sorry, I'm a little burpy.
Well, I think this is a neat 20 group because I made a deal here. We'll just get some movies. We're going to try to get a play deal with him once. Once.
Different kind of role playing. No. No. What was it?
Oh, that was on... Not how many, but what's the smart people? Take them theory. Where they have the like, sex dice.
And that's how Blossom seduces Sheldon. Okay, your name in the show is Amy Fearfattler. Yeah, sure. And her name in real life is Molly Ehrfak.
Which I was very fresh in my mind because she was just on a episode of Master Chef Junior. But anyways. That's one of the kids. Yes, she's got a lot of range.
Okay. Is she a doctor in real life or no? She has a degree in higher mathematics, I believe. But it also may be some other scientific field.
But yeah, she has a doctorate in some scientific field. Is her Winikuber, both like super smart. Down at Comic Color. Yeah.
She's a mathematician, I believe. Yeah, yeah. And she's a man. No.
And anyway, I can't think of the things I'm not going to bring up. Fine, don't worry. It was cute. I enjoyed it as much as I did.
Finding Nemo. It popped on Netflix real quick. Yeah. Yeah.
I was going to say so. Late last year and very early this year, I was starting to pop on DVD. Because, fantastic piece. I'm about a third through.
Meaning to pick up. It's not Dr. Strange on Blu-ray and take it to my parents since my dad has that super kick ass. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Fantastic piece. I don't know if I'm usually impressed with it.
I'm using all the Harry Potter movies as a yardstick or as a later ones where they got dark and good. And this one was to the later ones or to the later ones? No, they're the ones. That's why they're kind of more kid friendly.
Well, also the books got darker. Yeah, yeah. But I'm serious, went on. Sorry.
I'm going to have some socks. And then I'll talk about Midnight Meat Train. Midnight Meat Train is a movie that's almost ten years old with Bradley Cooper, Vinny Jones, Leslie Bibb, who you would remember as she was the interviewer who did quite the spread on Tony Stark in an article too or in an interview. They can't hear you to have just put on your socks.
So, I don't know what emotional I'm supposed to put behind the phrase, just put on your socks. I don't think any. I don't think I should have to. So this movie came out 2008.
No one's ever heard of it because it got sold to what's called secondary theaters, so like the Dollar theaters. But basically the premise is, oh, Brooke Shields is in this too. I just remembered that. So basically the premise is, Bradley Cooper is this aspiring photographer who gets this advice from Brooke Shields who's like some kind of art dealer Mucky Muck.
She's big in the art world. And she says like, oh, you always run from the moment you should be taking the picture. So he goes to this subway around midnight and follows these two gangbangers and they're about to have this assault, possibly sexually as well, this woman. And instead of running, he confronts them and gets the pictures of all this.
And after all this, he sees Vinny Jones and is like, well, that's interesting. There's this guy and the latest train on the subway. He follows him and he becomes obsessed with him because he's like an oddity, right? Just like scary looking dude in a nice suit on the last train.
He's like, oh, that's his deal. Turns out his deal. He kills people on trains brutally with a hammer and not like a claw hammer or what you think. Well, yeah, I mean hammer, but like a really fucking big tenderizing hammer.
Which we talked about this. We talked about it last week's I didn't watch it yet. And at one point, he's dead ramy. He's only two.
So hard in the face that is I flies out. By the way, Glenn's eye had better special effects than this movie. But at one point, and this is kind of neat. It's a camera with the director, but it's his first American movie.
It's shot amazingly. It is a piece of shit movie because it is based on a piece of short story by Clark Barker. Yeah, I'll tell you why it's a piece of shit by the end of the illogical third act. At one point, and this was called, this is how cool it shot.
Was that at one point, Vinnie Jones hits a woman in the head so hard her head flax off. And the camera is her head's, but her point of view as the head rolls away from her body and him. Like it's actually really fucking neat. Like it was like, oh my God, that's, that's, maybe not innovative.
It wasn't the right word, but creative. Something I hadn't seen before. So he gets obsessed with this guy and he's like these murders on this train line. It's like the 1800s.
And so now you're like, well, is Vinnie Jones mortal or is there always a butcher? The answer is yes, there's always a butcher. And it's always on this train line that goes under this meat packing plant. And why does he kill people?
Is he a psycho? Does he compel, does he hear like God of the devil telling him? Or is there something just bad wiring? Well, it turns out it's to feed the underground blizzard people.
That never got brought up until the very end. So, and he kills, and he feeds the lizard people so they don't attack people on the trains during the day and the cops all know. Why do so many people have this idea of lizard people stuck in their brain? I don't know, but it's not like they get brought up at the beginning where it's like, you know, there's a tabloid next to like a paper that like maybe he was trying to sell a photo and they went to someone else and he looks at the photo and paper and it's not pretty good.
And next to the paper there's a tabloid that says like under a lizard people. Also that's why it lives. Like damn right that boy lives. But you know what I just described is a what 10 second 15 second scene that easily shot.
So at least if there's some amount of foreshadowing to just like, oh there are lizard people who eat trained people. Vinnie Jones has one line he says, that's it. Because butchers don't have tongues. We find that out and he rips out Bradley Cooper is tongues so he can become the next butcher because he kills Vinnie Jones.
Yeah, it's silly. But it made me want to watch Limitless again which is great. Oh, that's what we talked about last week. She said what was that even if you want to watch Limitless again?
Yeah. So yeah, Midnight Meat Train. It's fun. I mean, I don't, but it's not a laugh right by any means but LAFF right.
It was when I was like okay, you know me I like to watch like you know it's like the weirdest word in the movie. I tend to more enjoy it because I watch like everything up to it including Midnight Meat Train. I mean the name alone Brad means. It sounds like porno.
They could be pipe pals. Oh god I see. I totally saw something online too where they like have made some folder for some kid or something you know Disney merchandise. It's Dorian a whale in their pipe pals and it says pipe pals and gives it an exclamation point and I'm like oh.
I just imagine that's what you call the other guy when you're doing. What do you say in the Venture Brothers with the scuba thing with the two henchmen? Scuba thing. Remember when it's when Dean's the Prom with what's going to say?
Oh they're all talking about what a rusty venture is. Yeah, but he describes something called like the Devil Aquaman or something like that. Because it involves the scuba and yeah whatever. So you trick up so much you're big leads or something.
Yeah, that's the rusty venture. I also watched the terrible movies. Assassin's Creed. I did want to see this because like I said my face is really good at it.
Michael Fessbender does as well as you can. If you look at the cast it's one of those. Okay one it's based on a Besselon video game. Yeah.
It's got Fessbender, Marianne Catard and Journey Irons. It's like Jeremy Irons might look for him. Don't say that because he'll be dead tomorrow based on the podcasting. Yep.
So anyway, cast great. Shocks. All right. I could have done without the like literal nine scenes of them standing at the top of buildings.
Oh it's iconic but you know. Yeah, but like I get it. They jump off of stuff. The park where it wasn't really great.
You know what I mean? Yeah, they kind of jump up walls and come down over things. It's like a really lackluster. The action was really clunkly choreographed.
It's the punch and ultralord running away. Like that. That's a good news. Yeah, parkour is the French martialord running away.
I wanted to be in the room when they pitched it because they go, hey, we've got the stellar cast. It's based on this game. It's called Nantacabas. Tons of people know about it.
You know, it's going to be high action. You know, the knife, gauntlets and all this crazy shit and time in that time travel. But like reincarnation and time travel, whatever. And the animus is literally cool.
The way he moves through the room and all that shit. And they go, great. Now, how can we make sure it's really difficult to watch? And they went, I know, will fill half of it in fucking Italian.
All the scenes that happened in the 1500s, formerly which subtitles. You know, it's one of those things. I shouldn't have to read a movie based on a video game. I can't think they were going for realism, but there's also a certain suspension of disbelief when it comes to movies.
Yeah, like at one point, the copy I had didn't have subtitles. I had to find another one because I was like, well, does they eventually talk English as he adjusts to the animus, right? I thought I thought that. Say English?
Huh? Say talking English. I can barely talk English. Yeah.
So. I didn't know if you had that. Or you were hip. That was, you said, I have stuff or something.
I said, I have stuff. Yes. So anyway, Assassin's Creed, I literally forgot it. I totally forgot I watched it when it was over.
It is like Adam Sandler movie where you're like, oh, cool. I don't need to remember any of that. Like, you know, you just watch Adam Sandler movie and then you're like, oh, that was okay. I don't know.
The cards I clicked that I never did get out of my head. I clicked. It wasn't bad. It's terrible.
It wasn't good. I like, I like, I like this one. It's beyond part of that. It's beyond part.
Yeah. They were like, little linger. It was kind of funny. It was like, I was talking to someone about any Murphy and I was like, you know, there are actually like three parts of Norbit that are really fucking fine.
But that would be, I still love it because Terry Cruz is in it. At one point he shows someone, the blueprints for it, he's like Dream Strip Club. He goes, I don't call it Nippa-Loppa-Lips or Nippa-Loppa-Lips. And I laughed so fucking hard.
Well, it's also because the Terry Cruz delivery of that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we have to thank any Murphy though because of him we have the Jack Black bit beginning of the Tropic Thunder where he's the fast. Yeah.
Part of part two, though they called it. That'd be a part two. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Got a damn, a cultural fucking terrible. So those are the two movies I managed to get in this week. Really not managed to, but I make a list on Facebook.
And I've been in the train to a LASA Facebook page. It's like, why? Yeah, it was 2008 was when this came out. Like, fairly young Bradley Cooper.
Benny Jones, like, you know, I don't want to get on the rise. This is like, this is Charlie Bradley Cooper before he really popped. It's probably after he did Kitchen Confidential, which I still think is highly underrated. It's a short lipstick com on Fox based on the Anthony Bourdain book of the same name where he plays, was going to say plays called Staph.
Michelle Giller, like, like, big feelings that are food. Do you want to talk about it? You don't know what I'm talking about. You don't know what I'm talking about.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. She had some restaurant called, like, Sutter and Craws that she'd taken over for her mom. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
I think it's just called Staph. Simply or Z Yeah. You're walking on Dr. Phil?
Oddly enough, he was also on Kitchen Confidential. He was the pastry chef. Really? That's one of the only two roles I've seen him do since then.
He's a pastry chef on Kitchen Confidential and then he had a recurring on Criminal Minds as one of their computer texts. I did. Yeah, it was a love interest for a canalopy. Right?
Right? Rettles was on a sitcom for fuck's sake. Did you guys hear old pizza plays? He was offered leanings to come on.
I thought Dave was still super fucking beefy. Yeah. He was still, he wasn't like, he's lean though. He's not, I mean, he's muscular, but he's fairly lean.
Because he was fairly lean. I'm sorry, I just had that scene from waiting come back to me where he's putting on the shirt and he just has it like over his nipples, but you see everything else. He's talking about the penis show he gave. Yeah.
That's previously, I mean, I'll stick figure of my ass if I feel like swirly. And a Ferris response. Oh yeah, I've seen him do it. No, it's so angry.
You turned into a little engine that couldn't hold his load. No, I want to watch waiting. Speaking of waiting, watch The Walking Dead. Still waiting for a good CGI deer to come out of that show.
That was what the internet, that's what broke the internet this week was. That CG idea, didn't care. I mean, I went back and re-watched the deer scene. I was like, yeah, okay, I'd rather have a shitty deer and have him spend the money on good zombies and shit, you know what I mean?
The deer's like the last thing I, you know. There's only so much time and money. No, but it's like with the flash, really. And it was so broad, cost 20% more.
I don't want to- I saw this shirt that made me think of you. Because it had the flash running and it was set up like the Jaws poster, but it had King Sharky's Jaws. Awesome. Oh, I did see that.
Yeah, I saw that. Yeah, I did see that. Yeah, I know I brought up as a cost 20% more. But, you know, like, so it's like I don't have like cooler effects and have a shit deer.
That's, and really enough that's not even my note. My note is actually has substance to it because they're talking about, it's a, it's a, it's a rich show and episode. So they hunt the gatherer and they fuck. That's effectively the episode.
And so they're out, you know, scavenging and shit. And at one point they're talking about how like, well what happens once we take down an egan, which I think is a little too optimistic, but at this, it literally in the stage of the game will like, then pulling together communities, you don't even know if you're going to win. But I understand what she's saying. And she goes, so we take down an egan and you know, we can start really really society since we'll have all these different communities from the ground to one.
You know what I mean? And he, they talk about like that he doesn't want to rule like out her. Which is a very sweet moment. It's a very smart moment because it's like, well that's the whole thing.
You don't, you shouldn't have like a dictator or a dictator, in this case maybe. But, oh my god. My question is, I just imagine to Rick and Morty in Walking Dead, and Rick was a dictator. It was awesome.
He would, he'd kind of be like me and I would imagine. Yeah. So I need to go on like deviant and see if I have like a Rick, megan, mad at our time. Oh, I think they've got it.
That would be my new background. So what I've got is, and this is really kind of cool if you think about it, is Rick running from egan or running away from becoming megan? It's just a thought, Rob's kind of like, you know, he seems to not want to lead. Which is very odd because it's like, he doesn't wear the crown uncomfortable with the group.
You know what I mean? He's like, someone's got a fucking lead. Y'all look to me and at first you know, he was uncomfortable with it. But he's, I mean the dynamic of the group is not to be like, you know, Rick knows the best type of thing.
Up to including that, you know, who is it? Father Gabriel fucking kind of chucks him under the bus a couple episodes ago when the scavenger is like, why should we just kill you? And he's like, oh, Rick can find anything. It's like, fuck.
You know, that's how they look for Rick. I think Rick, where it's like, it's at the crown fairly well now. Especially when he's got kind of that counterpoint with megan where it's like, you know, it's it's, he's making it's effectively bad Rick, you know, even Rick. So, you know, you know what I mean?
Like, you know, two sides, same coin type of thing. They're both leaders and communities, but Rick doesn't run on bashing other fuckers, heads in. Unless he absolutely has to. So, walking in, I just want to get to the fucking war.
Like, I just, it's like how I hate the fucking Lord of the Rings movies. But my friend Rob, who's a big Tolkien fan, was like, we're going to take it as a third one. I'm like, I don't fucking care. He's like, no, no, no.
It's like all at war. I'm like, okay, I'll watch that. You know, I got dragged into the Twilight movies. I'm like, these are fucking horrible.
And then I go from the, at the times like, oh no. Like, this is where the rebels fight the vampires. And I'm like, fucking awesome. I still fell asleep.
Yeah, I tried to rewatch Twilight this week. It's really good. Yeah, fucking terrible. They're not good.
Unless you watch the, what was it, the cinema sense. It's the only way I can get through it. That Twilight would be effectively. The best cinema sense of all time is still showgirls.
Oh my God. I don't think I've watched that one. You need to. The one with the first Twilight is great example bonus around with all of Chris and Stuart's and Mel's sounds.
Now the bonus round is showgirls is sort of looking things. Does she do that a lot? In showgirls, yeah. I don't remember show.
I mean, I remember Kyle McLaughlin and the pool naked. I remember the first time we talked about this, the first time I watched showgirls when it was in TV and there's like a third of the movie that was missing. Yeah, it's like only like 27 minutes long. Showgirl.
Yeah, TNT. Oh. No, I don't know. Because sometimes you have those great moments on edit television with, and I will remember these Lydia.
They have to edit for the content. She's in rice. The best ones ever are on die hard and snakes on a plane. Cause on die hard you almost do.
Cause it's Monday to Friday plane, right? It's get these monkey fighting snakes off by Monday to Friday plane. Hey look at this, you just think about monkey fighting snakes. They said awesome.
Yeah. In die hard it's Yibikaya melon farmer or Yibikaya mister falcon. I've watched all the die hards. There has never been a character in mister falcon.
There's one other really good one. Oh big Lebowski. This is what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps. What does that even fucking mean?
Well assuming that the fairly strangest in the Alps are super in the anal. Yeah, like this is what happened to the stranger in the Alps. It would actually be more terrifying if Nihilus broke in through a mongoose in my tub, pissed on my rug and said this is what happened when you find a stranger in the Alps. Then I'd be like oh my god that is a cause and effect that I never want to have happen to me.
I would never go to the Alps. I'm afraid of me as a stranger. Flea is what's the wrong mongoose at me and pissed on my rug. Do you want me to imagine somebody sitting there trying to figure out what will fit in that space?
Yeah, what looks like their mouth. Yeah, doing like ADR and you're just like I'm just imagining some guy getting that moment that I'm just trying to get the elves and like runs out of the room screaming at everybody else. Good job Johnson. Let's get you a raise.
Exactly. So great. Let's just, yeah, every time I got to talk to the DCT thing, Flash, one thing, a really real thing that I had this very real emotional moment where it's not emotional but where I went, fear versus love. What an odd theme for an episode.
You know, like, so I think that's the core of almost any superhero story. It's a superhero versus love. Well, you cut up, I mean I'm going to ruin it anyway but where Barry realizes that in his vision of the future or whatever that Iris wasn't wearing an engagement ring so he proposes to her as like his another shot like changing the future. Which when he proposed and it's like one of those things where she was like, well I've been dating for like, you know, six months or whatever and I'm like yeah, like you grew up together.
Like it's not like you just met. Like you'd ask Linda that like Maryam which they would be weird but it's like okay that would make sense or the cop. Yeah. You know what I mean?
Like that would make sense but like they've known each other for almost their entire lives. So she of course goes well I don't, here's the ring fuck you. Not fuck you but here's the ring back like you did that wrong. And it was, but it was like, I understand that you know you did it out of both fear and love.
It was such a weird, like and she found out, oh within the same episode which is very strange for the flash. They don't have that kind of quote unquote closure or payoff. Well it's not formulaic like everything will be back to normal in a half hour. Supergirl, the foundation is supergirl.
She came back from a basement and they're like oh no we found the virus, the vaccine that can save one out. Oh and it fixes merchandise too and I'm like I didn't watch it showing that stupid. It makes no sense because they do have kind of alien species or biology to be radically different. I'm getting much more about this.
I don't know if anybody thinks he talks about alien biology. I just think of that scene with Alan who's going to say Alan in a galaxy quest where they try and guess what his bathroom would look like. Yeah. Yeah.
With Alan recommending that he's the alien. Yeah. So they try and guess what his bathroom would look like and it looks like some horrible torture chamber. I don't remember that at all.
Yeah. Huh. Yeah. This quest was the best Star Trek movie ever.
I cannot believe I'm reading or repeating what the fucking computer says. Yeah. That was funny. And the way she keeps making her shirt ripped.
Like that's a reference to how she was down to her like bra or tank top in all the alien movies. That was my job. I repeat what the computer says. Ah, you always have to see pals on that.
Oh no rain was it rain well something? Yes rain well something. That was free office. Oh it was way free office.
It's post house with thousand courses. Yeah. Yeah. That piece of shit.
I like that. That was hilarious. The only movie I've ever, we went with my friend Matt and we both looked at each other and went, let's drink enough to pick up this movie. I was not thrilled with it at all.
Delosrijek's significantly better. Yes, but Delosrijek's literally has them dying the free bird in a highway shoot out. Yeah, your rub zombie, why wouldn't you do it? It's like, and then apparently, you know, what will get sucked out?
Don't you ever talk about Elvis A.R. and Presley that played my own. I have much delosrijek's forever. That line for some reason still cracks me up because they're talking about it.
Well, what have I got? What am I? A lot of my favorite clown suit or was that thousand corpse? I was a thousand corpses.
I was a couple of a member. No, I was going to say, it's just Tim talking in the movie critic about Gra out Joe Marks and saying that his death wasn't well known because Elvis died either the same day or the next day. I'll take care of it if you were talking about Elvis badly. I didn't see Elvis reach out to him forever.
Barry got sucked into a breach. I don't think he's dead, but you think he could come back to sabotage? No. I like my three of them.
The new HR is, uh, uh, uh, uh, Everknabra, which, this episode, this episode really lends a lot of credence to it, because it keeps tapping shit with those fucking girls. I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm gonna walk. Everkadabra, you reach out and grab you. Um, I'm obviously really dead.
Let's see, legends, uh, we'll get through this quick because I know you're not a huge fan. Um, maybe I should try now and binge through it. The, um, the real high points on this season, around this like the back half of the season, um, I will say they, they, I know about the stuff. They do screw with the, um, the voice over at the very beginning, the different characters doing it now.
And my two favorites are. Face, the final front here. My two favorites are when they have, uh, Damian, I think it's, yeah, it might be Malcolm. Malcolm Merlin, um, John Barman doing it.
And the whole episode is like, Legion of Doom's Centric, which was really fun. It's like, oh, the, the bag I intro for the bag of episode. And then they have the one where, uh, McRory Heatwave does it and it's so fantastic because, like, in turn, he absolutely does not give a shit about doing the voice over. Like, you know what I mean?
Like, they're really funny. We had Mick do it, but we do it like, have Dominic Purcell do it. Like, you know, and he's just like, yeah, we travel through time and we do stuff, whatever. We're fucking legends.
Start to show. Like, you know, it's like, it's literally that kind of like he does, just doesn't give a shit. Um, and this seems to build up so it's fantastic. I think he's a boss.
I think he really liked it. Um, ripped back, they went into his brain and kind of re-incepted him. Um, and at one point in his brain, we see the physical manifestation of Gideon, who, uh, Hot Chick, not a shock. Uh, they kiss.
And the ship remembers the kiss. Like, he made out with the operating system. And I think we all know how I feel about her, the movie, her, depressing as shit. Um, so that was literally sick.
He's like, oh, that was weird. And she goes, oh, look at your brain. Or like, that, you know, we kissed. And he's like, oh, you remember?
And she's like, faster? They can't, please don't record it or whatever. So, um, yeah, Gideon's wicked hot, so. Um, I finished the list for series and comics.
Uh, I thought the ending game a little quick. Yes, but I think they were trying to wrap it up. Yeah, I think he kind of went, oh, I only have some of the episodes to get this and I'm shit done. So, um, not that the ending was bad, it didn't feel rushed, but it was like, bam, bam, bam.
Um, you know, and then you have the last couple issues, like grabbing of all the loose ends. Um, I loved the girl's night out. Uh, closure with, uh, Mesoquin and, um, Elaine Bellic and, uh, the, uh, what is the, she was a chair, but now they're like, a little demon. Uh, spirit.
I love spirit and, and God, they were hilarious. They are the best, some of the best comedy, uh, like duo sidekicks, especially if he's like, God, he gets introduced. He's like, you know, he's just trying to save, Elaine, but you have no idea like what his whole thing is. Yeah.
And the more they got into that and his sister was so fucking funny. Um, and he talked about this on Mr. Right. Um, but yeah, I, I really liked it.
It is very much, I'm gonna take some time away from it and go back and re- Yeah, it's like. Um, because it's like really saying that we noticed things or you go, oh, that's, you know. Well, they had such a slow build on the reveal of Elaine. Yeah.
Yeah, I wonder, it's one of, I wonder if he knew how she was gonna be at the end. I think, I think he figured the whole Michael daughter granddaughter thing. I think he knew that walk in it. There was gonna be something about her.
But as he wrote on treatment, oh, and we could do this. Oh, and then she's that. You know what I mean? Like her character beats are so like out of nowhere, but so in that world.
You know what I mean? No, that makes sense. It's just not. I could have planned it all.
But you know what I mean? Like that far out, like years. Oh no, it's just like the whole thing where you know Lucifer's trying to teach her how to create worlds. Yeah, and then that comes back out.
Yeah. Like that gets, you know, re-paid off when she's talking to God and Lilith. So. And I mean the scene where he takes, I was gonna say Lucifer takes the, uh, Miss Kerry baby that's been getting Miss Kerry for like 100 years and leaves it in the void that you think angels.
Oh yeah, the weird monster that can, um, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's like, everything else? Food. Um, yeah, the ending, and then Lucifer just kind of, you know, getting off into the void and you're kind of like, I, by the end of that ending with Lucifer, which, and I'm not in the book, but I don't even know how many years.
Oh, not ever long. But yeah, when was the last book? You know, but uh, it just was kind of like, oh, and then he fucks off. And then Lucifer fucks right off.
Yeah, so I thought it wasn't, it wasn't kind of the punch ending I wanted to be. Um, It's hardly right, it's just 2007. 2007, yeah. Yeah.
Um, that, I'm like, okay, so he goes into the void. Like the uncreated void that he got from God, very, getting, or Yahweh, I like the big action, I like the letter passage. Yeah. So he goes in, that letter passage is just left there.
Yeah, that always bothered me to like, it's just hanging out like on the floor and lux or what, I mean, what you know what I mean? It's like, he just like goes through and it's like, he doesn't close, like you know what I mean, like close it or uncreated or has a lane uncreated once he goes through. Like, it's just there. It's the one thing that I got to the end was like, wait, wait, wait, wait.
So you can't understand though, when I first read the synopsis of Lucifer TV show, I was a little pissed off. Oh, well, I knew, I mean, I hadn't read the comics, but I knew, I knew, you know, the premise and I knew that, I knew a few of the plot points from, you know, working in a console store. That's just one of those things where it's like, in the show, Lucifer is about punishing people. Like, the Lucifer in the comics is still not like that.
No, no, he's not. Not in that way. I know that you're wrong. We want, and go back, we all wanted to hate Lucifer.
I did. But Tom Ellis is so fucking perfect. Well, then it was well written too. Yeah, well, and it got fun.
You know what I mean, like, as you got more into it, it got fun. Well, you know, they have the homogenous and the comics, like when they have girls nice with Chloe and Mais, and there's their host whose name is the same. Rachel Harris is the actress. Yeah, I can't think of her name.
Yeah, I can't think of her name. But yeah. I mean, you see interactions with Chloe's daughter, for a zebra, all these fucking funny. Especially at the beginning.
Yeah. It's like the way I kind of miss Felicity with all the accidental double entendres. You know what I mean? In your endo.
In your endo. I really need to rewatch the scripts. But, alright, Tom, that's the last one for the year. So, yeah, I really like it.
I guess I'm gonna go back to it, but I've been reading it. I've got a giant polish to read, much like you do. So I just picked up Joe Hill's new one. And apparently when he says it's my answer to the stand, just kind of ironic because his dad wrote that one.
The soft, I got the paperback. And you can't see me doing this. But it's like, if you stretched your index finger and your middle finger while keeping them like measuring, like, I guess I don't know how to describe this. You just say three inches.
Yeah. It's fucking bullet-stopping. Like, it is a thick fucking paperback. What is this?
A title? So, not only does he like, literally I was making a joke and I was like, so his answer to the stand is to try to beat this page count. Like, because the stand is not, not a like book at all. But I'm looking forward to it.
The premise I did- The stand, I read the client and the firm. Well, those are two different writers. I know, but I'm just thinking about books with those kind of titles. Well, this is the Fireman.
So, but the premise is kind of cool that there's this, like, passage and spore that when you're infected by it, you get like a, like, a, like, kind of a rash thing, but it's like black and gold. Okay. And it's only a matter of time before you spontaneously combust. That's not cool.
Well, and the thing is like, they talk about how like, all of the, like, hospitals have been like burning down because people are freaking out going to the hospital and then exploding. It's called Dragon Scale, which is kind of a Stephen King, I suppose, for it. And basically this nurse and her husband find out that not only does she see the scale, the little spore thing, but she finds out she's pregnant. And, you know, she's like, I'm going to live until, because she knows as a nurse that it doesn't get passed through the placental wall or whatever, so maybe it'll be fine.
But of course, the husband, you know, kind of the quintessential dick, you know, character, is like, oh, I don't want to get sick so fuck you and our baby. You know, but she ends up hearing about this other guy called the Fireman who somehow uses, like, the fire, whatever, sports, like, protect people who are sick so that they don't get, like, beat up or killed or so. It's really interesting that, you know, she's like, well, I want to find a way to survive, and it's like, you know, have that, have that, have that, have that, have that, have that, very, it's actually talks about mine. So, have a neat kind of twist on like the post-apocalyptic, like, like, medical epidemic.
It's like, well, how do you make an epidemic worse? I don't know. Fire. Yeah, fire.
So, um, so I'm really interested that I'm going to start getting the tricover back to the comic key to call blocking key because I know it's really good. I don't know how it ended since I was reading it when it was coming out. I got an option to hold that one. Yeah.
I think, I was listening to the writers from Joey Hill and me, he said he's, they've tried a couple times as, I think, TV, but like, the budget was never. No, I feel like one of the studios optioned this movie. And I read it down, like, when I read it down, I don't know, you know, I don't have to look it up. Hmm.
I can see it being like a couple movies, possibly three depending. But, um, it's not a super long series, but like, there's a whole thing, like, you gotta really get into the nitty-gritty of it. I don't think one movie would do it. Um, do we have anything else?
Brr, brr, brr. Oh, Legion. You just like watched it. I know you were trying to catch up.
