What's this oh what oh, I'm sorry is it Tuesday? No, it's not it's actually not Tuesday. There's a bonus app a mini app a little bit a little bit They want to go mini golf baby anyway, what what gives man with this I'll tell you you know you should know we talked about it I know oh were you playing the role of the concerned viewer? Yeah, is this a cry for help?

They're asking isn't every episode? I'm asking no, we're here. Welcome to King me. I'm Dan Gegler.

I'm Robbie We're here to talk about a a new trailer for a new Steven King movie Okay, guys here's the here was the great thing about our premise for the show is there was an end there was a finite amount of Movies since we started releasing these episodes. I don't know 12 weeks ago Two movies have been have come to our attention to new movies one was announced another Trailer has been released for it the name of that one We're gonna be playing the trailer and discussing it this this movie is called sell Starts junk you sack and Samuel Jackson right at again the dynamic duo from 1408 Yes, you probably beat me to it on your end. He said it out loud. I'm sure And the premise of this movie.

I don't know how clear it is just from hearing it So I think we should kind of lay it out. It's zombies For cell phones. Yeah, basically it's like maximum overdrive. Okay.

Yeah, it's like so the comet turns the machines into things But then this is like the thing the things turn the people into machines I don't know. It's like a it's like a cell phone based maximum overdrive, but people are trucks. Does that make sense? Is that clear?

I can't be any clearer about it. Yeah, I don't know It's just like if you put a phone up to your ear and you answer it then you turn into a zombie Yeah, so we're gonna play the trailer and every time you feel like stopping it You don't have to say stop the clip or stop the stop the tape right? I think you should okay I'm gonna say it's I think it'd be good if we both said it alright, so let's let's hear that trailer alright Here it goes rated R Stop the tape right off the bat. I do just want to mention that this is a save-in production Since it's the company that makes mighty morphing power Rangers and every iteration thereafter the old I think so the old The old definitely the old ones.

Okay. Yeah, so they're branching out I guess so alright. So yeah six billion cell phones Pause the thing right off the bat It's that classic setup that you I feel like only see in very mediocre movies where where dad is very far away In an airport talking to his kid when you coming home. It's like soon buddy.

I love you a lot I'm a good dad, and that's why you'll care about my success. Yeah, that's that's just so you know That's the reason I'm doing everything in this movie. That's like that fucking war the world remake now that bullshit You see that the yeah, yeah terrible. Yeah, it's very bad.

Yeah, so Yeah, I get I mean I guess you have to have some stakes but maybe change it Yeah, well right off the bat. We're seeing the cell phones have the capacity for good as well as you know I'm gonna play it Yeah He's like looking like dog shit people Yeah, so people were bugging out the I like the line of guys with the urinal Yeah, it's just a bunch of like fat little tiny dick men at the urinals screaming Yeah, all their tiny dicks just hanging out to the best of their ability Yep, just pissing all over those zippers pissing straight across cuz they're dicks don't even hang And yeah, they're dicks can hang So and we just got to the title card that says based on the novel by Stephen King Oh that smell can't you smell that smell I When we you're right when we did when we started this there was wanted to do silver bullet Yeah, honestly We just wanted to talk about silver bullet real quick and why you guys talk about it with us Yeah, we got we were having a conversation about silver bullet and we're like, huh I wonder if anybody else would like to listen to this and truth be told it's one of our most popular episodes, right? So thank you. Thank you for your support.

I love I appreciate that so much. I need to warn you all We're gonna be at this for what seems like ever seems like its own Stephen King novel Yeah, but like in those novels the characters don't like put themselves in these situations. We ordered pizza just arrived Please excuse us. We ordered a pizza.

We ordered Matsis Monster elistics. Did you get chicky thingies? Jalapeno poppers. I can't infantilize the way I say that poppies.

Oh little poppies. I'm very excited about this rub Come on come on back. You got a deposit. Yeah, don't let the steam out.

Yeah, you have the box open I understand we only have like another two and a half minutes. Sorry. I'm playing Let's try to go longer without stopping it. I guess okay a plane just crashing mid-air because of cell phones No cell phone service on airplane.

Yeah, I know junk you sack positive thing I'm glad we waited for a while junkie sack looks like dog shit. I feel so bad saying that I'm a big fan big fan of better off dead I know nothing else. It's the only junkie sack movie I've ever seen. I'm just kidding.

I love high fidelity. Yeah, so good Yeah, I mean, he's like he's always got an older, but I didn't realize it is the thing Yeah, I haven't seen anything for a while. I guess he doesn't look like shit He just looks his age, but you didn't watch you didn't see that movie with him and Jackie Chan in like ancient Rome or whatever the fuck What the fuck are you saying right now? What what yarns are you spending?

It sounds like a fever dream. Uh-huh. It's a real thing It came out last year No, it didn't it's not gods of Egypt, but it's almost like gods of Egypt did who junkie sack played like a Roman junkie sack It's like it's a sword in sandals movie where he's not like a term an established term. Yeah, I like that a lot Yeah, that's really good.

Thanks society in time Jackie Chan and Probably like Vincent Cassell or something. Oh fuck that. It's weird. All right Blue kid away because he had a popcorn kernel stuck in his throat Pause the thing It could be the next stage in human evolution.

No fucking couldn't voice over like that doesn't that doesn't make any sense zombies man Technology we're just becoming integrated with technology buddy. I hate that so much. That's like polish or no I hate that sentence. This could be the next phase in human evolution It is as egregious as in movies like limitless and Lucy when they say humans only use 10% of it It's as like a bullshit based in nothing.

No, I kind of like it. Yeah, I heard it was okay Someone else was telling me about this like obviously that's a ridiculous premise of course But if you accept it, you're just like alright This is the show where we watch movies about mean cars a lot we watch a lot of those movies I'm positive The temporary Kish Stacey Kish that's a made-up name. No, that's like I he's like a general or something there. Yeah, he was in the in a skate from LA Hmm.

He's like a character. Yeah, that's a great name. Yeah, he's a kish. Yeah.

He's got a kish I'm a big man. I'm even fixed hair lip. You had a hair lip and they fixed it. Oh like a Joaquin Phoenix I didn't know he had a hair lip.

Okay. Yeah. Yeah, I thought he was all just jacked up looking from life in time No, well now but even even glad eater days. Yeah There's that son again my boy.

I've ended my boy Right so pause the thing. It's worth mentioning all those throat clearing sounds you hear those are the cell Cellularized zombie people yeah who not getting service right and in your head if you're visually visualizing some kind of maybe even like a pupilless eye or a Fucked up face. No nothing. It's just people standing there with their mouths all the way open.

Yeah, they're mid-yawn Yeah, it is as if they're they're trying to cough up a popcorn. Yeah, they just go what? Which like in other zombie movies. There's like a physiological reason for that It's because they're dying.

They're like dead bodies that are decomposing so they can't make noises anymore. We don't know what's going on here I don't know but I'm positive Do not withhold your mercy from us a lot Troubles without numbers around us. Sam Jackson. He's a man of God.

You think that'll be a point of contention. Oh, definitely. Yeah Yeah, you guys have a lot of science. Yes That's a good that's a good idea positive.

Let's take bets on what his profession is gonna be Q sec. Yeah. Oh great Well, he's an older guy, right? Yes, but he's real good with that face time.

Mm-hmm He's got to be like a computer programmer something right? I think it's some job that sued him to solve this problem It I think it has to be yeah, it's a computer. It's some sort of high-level position at a technology company Maybe he's a Wi-Fi farmer Whatever that means yeah, maybe He's a man of science because he's into the technology Is he a single dad? Oh, and somebody like what's his name or something is watching?

His faith shaken by losing the mother of his child probably right yeah She died in a bizarre cell phone accident. Yeah texting while driving She accidentally she's doing that thing people do where they have the phone on speaker But they hold the mouth piece up to their mouth anyway and she had a bump in the road and swallowed the phone That's why they've been stuck in their throat. Well, nobody has to see the movie. Yeah, it's all right spoilers.

Yeah, you've spoiled everything all right So there's just people running through the woods I've lived that so signature through clearing sounds Don't you boys know it's not know that it's not your son See Sam Jackson brings up a really good point there. You know that's not his son It sounds like a computer. Yeah, it doesn't sound like a boy like a live boy Right sounds like a cell phone pretending to be a boy a cell boy. Yeah, so that's it.

That's the whole trailer Yeah, just to give you a sense of sort of like the visual of it the color palette is like Dark and gray and green and just kind of bleak looking in that sort of a book of Eli way Eli Eli hey, you like And yeah, I don't know there's nothing about this that makes me want to see it. I'm not looking forward to it But you got it. I got it. I got it.

It's like all the like anything that was good about 28 days later is gone Yeah, anything that was good about World War Z is gone. It's 28 days later with cell phones Yeah, you know in 28 days later when they have like interesting is like it's like rage monkeys. That's how it spreads Cell phones that's it they're blowing people away in this whole trailer. Yeah, they just take out cell phone towers Wouldn't that cure everyone within a specific all right?

They're clearly going somewhere, right? Mm-hmm. They're always the thing in the movie right going to Verizon's quarter headquarters. I'm like Delaware Maybe like an EMP something like that.

Oh always me it got to be an EMP right that electromagnetic pulse that'll knock out the signals Hell yeah, maybe that and maybe the EMP will knock out the signal and also snap everybody out of it Oh, and then you get those great shots of people coming to yeah extras coming to Wow, just like what was I doing?
