And we're live. Hello, everyone and welcome to the Nelly of Northside, it's the Nelly podcast hosted by Northern nerds. I am one of your hosts Sam. And under the host Paul, and we are joined tonight by two of our main series, Shall We See You?
We've got the captain himself of the Starship Enterprise, Goodwill, is joining us. And we've got the delightfully delicious, dangerous, demonic, Donna, that is returning to talk all about her favourite cinema experiences. And if she's not given anyone a notch in the back row, I'll be disappointed. So...
I like one of the super long title though. Yes. That's how weekly introductions go now, it's done under the bed. It's been under the bed.
There's a bullshit on the most of it, so it's like trying to pick up the people that's kind of, come on, sort of chalk talk shit about them later, so it's all... I hit you with a compliment, and then I talk shit about you next time. Yes, it's me, it's a Robin Dole. But yes, so...
So we are on another episode of this kind of thing, we're doing an episode episode at the moment. So you guys are getting so much content out there after the fabulous pages joined us on Friday, it talks all about cosplay and make up. And I thought, all right, we're gonna make up got some of your free make up, like, out of it, looks like it, so that could be quite present. Amazing, thank you.
I thought I was in the chat, I said, do me, do me, do me, I thought we'll make up. But I guess... And we are joined again by the... Like, God is cootings as well, so they are on shore, so everyone who's watching, you're welcome.
Wow. Wow. In the like 30 seconds. Yes.
Well, that's a rough to the swear limit, we're all good enough. Sorry, thanks. Give me a second. I think I've got a bit less time on these watching.
Oh, hi, John's dad. Lesson. Hi, Mr. Yoman.
So, yes. No, I'm going to pay her and snow. I know what Sammy said, pictures on Instagram, I'll forget, I'm gonna view a drink last night with Mrs. Weatherwell.
Mrs. Weatherwell, you were looking very lovely. You looked absolutely beautiful. She had her hair all done and her dress look gorgeous.
My mum was very much on point last night. Yes. And Sammy's a little bit delicate today because she's a little bit piss-head, so yes. She drinks once a year and it was last night.
And Goodwill is Minkley's return after, like, doing his fabulous episode of Star Trekking with Nerdie Up North, where you talked about episode four, isn't it? Episode four, yeah. She's a little bit more like American and such, which she held these on, so well done, Captain Goodwill. So, just to make sure I've got the title right, so Captain Goodwill is in Admiral Graham.
Is that right? Of course. Yes. Has to be Admiral Graham.
As you got a little bit confused at the start of your podcast, you were like, oh, Michael, am I good will? It's like you're having a day to get any crisis now. I don't know. What do people call me?
I know what do people call me dickhead? What do you say? What? I'm going to call you Captain Goodwill from now on and every time I'm just going to salute you.
Yes. And the chat's happy that Don and Spark are, yes. So, everyone's going to find everything. I'm being grand.
Yes. Yes. Grant is very happy that you're back. And he's getting a little bit of a chat.
Just in case of Grant's here. Yes. So, the point is welcome. I'm being for a while.
We haven't had any in theaters for a few weeks. No, that was the time. Don is it your grandson there? Do you know what I mean?
Like it's going to happen. So, let's say I talked about the deviance as well. Is this the first time I've, because I know you were on the 100th episode together. Well, this is the first actually Don and Goodwill episode where you're both being four guests.
This is all the way along of it. The whole one. Sorry. I was coming up with our nickname.
Yes. This will be, this will be our back door pilot to North After Dark. Yes. Good.
So, is this where the strip starts now? Is it? Well, you promised Don't have foreshitted in the strip. And so, Beth, get your screen recording now.
Good was dead at all. Anybody. Yeah. Yeah.
And that's all you get. So, if you want, if you want more, you're going to have to go to North After Dark. The Patreon. Yes.
It's very Patreon. But that shit in my hand. You'll be level for a reason. Well, before we go any further than tonight's episode, I have to ask the most important question of the week.
How are you doing and what you've been watching? Not been too bad. How are you doing? You're good?
Yeah. Oh, surviving. I love the enthusiasm. I love the enthusiasm.
I love the enthusiasm and everything. Yes. I'm hungover and I'm sure I'm more enthusiastic. Come on.
No, I'm going to be doing what you're watching. What you've been watching. So, let good will go first because I'll leave it all. I've been watching, well obviously, the last of us.
Yes. Season finale, this is coming up. I've got a couple of episodes to catch up on me. I've got a couple of episodes to catch up on me.
Yes. I have three episodes to share. I have three episodes to share. Yes.
And I do. I have three episodes to share but any of that. Ooh. Obviously, that's a trick a got.
Other than that, being not much. See, have you had time to watch anything? Not at all. You do?
I have zero time at the moment to enjoy. To consume content. I'm not making content for everyone else. No, it's mainly just being the last of us.
I do enjoy you because I'm very political. So, I watched last week tonight with John Oliver. I'm really passionate about that. As I said earlier in the Facebook community, I missed this week's Mandalorian because I forgot which kid Pedro Pascal was escorting this week.
So I'll be watching that tonight. Uh, I'll be talking about this for that last week's episode. It was more the kind of scotting him than anything else. So we say it.
But it's just... But it's just... But, uh, other than that, no. So I really just, just them to, um, yeah.
And then just mostly YouTube stuff. Cool. And porn. So...
But yes. No. Let's get... Poor man.
Yeah. Yeah. Adrian, contact guys. But yes, um, we'll not talk too much about the last of us, just because of, like, what's coming up on Tuesday, with the BBC and Finale, we are going to be doing it, like, see a little bit of a extra episode on Tuesday night, because we've got no lives and we'll just like, be keep busy, shall we?
See it. And so I don't know what we've been watching, and this is probably the most loaded question I'll ever be scared to get answers from now. I watch this short, if I'm pronouncing it right, called Triptych. I think I'm pronouncing it right.
It's basically about this woman who turns out to be some kind of, like, triplet, and trying to, like, meet everyone, find out if there were clones and protests in the lab, and the projects separated at birth. And I guess really crazy. I'm not going to say too much on it, because I'll give it away if I was hooked on that last week. And the cold ones on YouTube are two really fucking daft guys, who look for the stupidest adverts and buy their stuff and try it out and they just drink loads of different random alcohols and stuff, and it's just them two being stupidly daft.
But yeah, to check them out, they quite funny. All right, cool. So it's not made up of watching the way you'd share this way, so it's fine. No, that's cool.
So what was the trip that was called? Triptych, but it's like, it's not spelled how it sounds. I'll send you a look. I think it came out with, yeah, it's on Netflix.
Cool. It's definitely interesting. It's only got eight episodes, so it's quite quick. So is it like a documentary or is it like?
It's most maybe it's not a true story, but it's more like a TV series. Oh, cool. I like one of them goes to a motor scene, because she works on the police force. And she basically, it's herself, like, identical, and she's like, what the hell?
So she starts searching into that and then finds out there's three of them. But it's really crazy. Oh, cool. I'll definitely keep an eye out for that.
That's something I'm going to do. So, home of a Sami, what have you been watching? What haven't I been watching this week? I'm on the second run of Shits Creek, which I've been finished.
I went to see all by myself, took myself on a little date, and then went to go and see the new screen movie, which is just fucking phenomenal. Not gonna lie, it's really good. Probably my second favorite after the original. Highly recommend going to see it.
I started, I'm trying to watch a new series, and I saw the trailer for season two of Yellow Jackets. When I went to see a screen, and I watched the first episode, and I got an ink on this to what it's about, and I'm not gonna lie, I went cold inside. Like, we blowed, went cold to the point where I was like, I don't think I'm gonna be able to watch this. Right.
So, I'm close to the other. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, I ain't gonna be watching that, but I did today, in my home all the stage, watched, I'll go to what's called, Stan and Ollie, about Laurel and Hardy, Steve Coogan and John C. Riley, and because I am a bit of a thing for Laurel and Hardy, and I just absolutely loved it.
It was just so, not completely historically accurate, but it still was a good watch. Steve Coogan was absolutely fantastic. I think that's about it. I'm trying to find something new to watch, and I'm kinda feeling flatly on it.
Well, you said it picture you watching the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, too, as well. Yes, I did watch that this one. Yes, I did. I watched the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, too.
It wasn't originally what I was gonna watch, because it's not the original. I went on to watch the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and the link I got was the second one, and I was like, can't be asked to like, fuck around. So, I watched the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, too, with the, I just watched it for Bill Mosley, because it's really not great. It's hilarious, though, but yeah, I watched that, and then I watched it down and on, and you're completely different.
Different perspectives of the content, I think. Really, yeah, but yeah, that's what I watched this week. No, very interesting. I know I'll find other podcasts will be upset.
I haven't went back to Moon Shiners this week. I think I'm gonna give it a week off. I will try again, because I unform a little bit out with the love with the Moon Shiners. Maybe they can drag us back in if we stop in tickets, and just go back to...
Yeah, you said that's what you... You said that's what you were a bit done with them. Yeah, but I missed them. I missed them.
Like I said, I missed Tickle and Tim, and the guys, so I might say have to revisit Tickle and Tim, yes? It's serious, yeah. Tickle's been spending some time in Gio Law, because he's an idiot. So, you got caught with a sort of shock concern.
You can take all that. It's a tickle, if they're not... I'll be honest, doesn't it? Every season he started off a stick thin, and every time he goes in Gio comes out, he comes out like a very comfy bastard.
So... He's got like three set meals a day. So, he's not drinking the Moon Shine, and living on the Moon Shine, so yeah. But yeah, I will go back to it.
I have been watching Archer, and I can say constantly, which I don't think is healthy. I can say that. But you realise some of the seasons of Archer, now he had seen this, I've really, really shit. Like some of the seasons of absolute brilliance, but one of just finishes when they went back to Gumshoe, during a rubbish time, and it's really not a good season.
It's like, this is just too weird and too out there. Taught to jump the shark moment, that we did with Archer should have been in there. But no, I've been watching a few movies this week as well. I went to see Amman and Waspman the Condomania, yes they were Jake.
We did say Little Toa and Dogeop North, and I used my wife's cinema card, and actually called us on it, went, oh come I see your cinema cards. So I had a show of mine and my wife's in Gosh, and the guy looked at me, my wife's card and looked at Jake, looked at the card. Now I said, yeah, my wife's away, and he went, no question do you go in. So...
So you didn't play your wife? No, no, I don't... If I do it, I think the be it would give it away a type of thing. Oh, be fine.
Yes, but... And Jake doesn't have like this fabulous red hair, unfortunately, I think there's... So it was quite obvious that we were pulling the ruse, but the guy wasn't a digger. So well done, said a well-bulled now, big years up.
He's went, bellends after you. So thank you. But absolutely loved Condomania. It was felt like the most marvellous film that we've seen, where it was just fun.
It was coming to me. It didn't take a tell seriously, and to be honest, anything we're all running is just fun. So I absolutely loved it. I enjoyed it, I thought it was a good laugh.
Yes, and I did watch Lutha, The Fallen Sun last night. And I... I really enjoyed it. No.
It didn't feel like a movie. It could have been flashed out a bit longer, but Andy Serkis was absolutely terrifying in it. And it was nice to say Lutha kind of like broken a bit. And the premise behind it was just, it's just a pre-as on any type of thing that you've got with technology.
So I thought it was very well done. I, like, see, I know a lot of people have been saying it, but again, what do you expect of the taking, like, I've said, normally it's a season. But the ending was a little bit predictable. And now it kind of like leads into where, like I said, they've got to go next.
So it's very much like a start, I think. But this could be, like I said, I know everyone's going to talk about either Selbert or James Bond, but this could be his bond. Because if they say that, if there's anything swear it's going to go next, shall we say? Well, yes, well, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Oh, you just reminded us on Tuesday, because I had a day in my husband's family, literally did nothing. We watched the thing you do. Now I've seen that movie, The Tom Hanks One, a million, million times. And I always knew there was a director's code, because Tom Hanks had said the studio ripped the film to pieces.
They got it at the theater, like put it into the theaters. I watched the director's code without knowing. And it was like, I watched a whole different fucking film. I just sat there going, well, that's not in there.
That's not in there. But that explains why you keep saying smart because all the time, like it was, it was so, so good. But then we watched the Rock with Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage. And I didn't know this, but there's fan theories that Sean Connery's character in The Rock is James Bond.
Right, all right. But you know what, when you watch it and you know that theory, like, that makes sense, like really does make sense. There's clues all the way through The Rock, because like, oh, he's former SES and he was trained by Her Majesty Secret Service and the theory gods. Yeah, the theory gods after Doctor No, which was 62, that he was tasked with something to do with Jack, a Assassin in JFK for some reason or something like that.
And that version of Bond was then arrested because he was caught by the CIA and the law said it spent 30 years, well, how many years in Alcatraz and then escaped. And then it was caught against a rip. I mean, I wish it was true. I know, I know.
It is like total fan theory, but when you know that and they are watching it, you're like, I could totally say this being completely accurate. And every time he kept doing something, I'm just looking at each other and going, it's totally double or seven. It's like... It's like a Bond.
To be fair, the winded Sean Connery not play a Bond in any kind of role I did. It is very true. You can see one about set to slap no one, say, I'm Jim Bond, sorry, I had to go there. We were just watching it and like, obviously that was the fun part, but you don't know what, they don't make films like that anymore.
Do they? Like these epic classic, like, everything's a blow up scene where cars get like, ooh, shins, stuff and... I'm only going to get a hungry. I just had the only endo.
I totally forgot we did that on Tuesday. And I'll give you this shit fantastic show I've been watching as well, because to be fair, this show is shit. I'm totally obsessed with it now. And I feel a little bit dirty for like that.
Young Rock. Oh, wow, right. Just going back to telling the story of his childhood and stuff like that and telling how he got into WWE. It's like probably meant to be style, but there's supposed to be a few home truths in there as well.
So I'm actually, if you're a wrestling fan as well, I would actually recommend it because some of the stories he tells, like from Dwayne's point of view type thing. The last episode I watched, it was when the rock was basically gunny blown up in WWE. I mean, near and this wrestling, he was one of the biggest wrestlers all the time. He put this name out and I was like, I've heard this for that.
And it turns out they've changed his name and changed the look completely because I don't want them to come out. So it would probably like shit on the rock to Vince McMahon and 12 Vince that he's not ready, and he would never be a draw and stuff. I apparently the person who it is, it's meant to be Shawn Michaels. So a little bit.
Oh, that makes total sense. Because my TikTok algorithm is picked up because I've watched a few clips from it that's being on TikTok. And it's picked it up, but it's all Shawn Michaels stuff. Yeah.
So that makes total sense. But I've seen Becky Lynch's character. She's fucking phenomenal. She really is.
But yes. I'm going to watch it. It's something that I would enjoy. But it's basically because it's two stories in one.
It's the rock, tell them stories about these childhoods and stuff. But it's basically him kind of being the president of your legacy. It's okay. It's set in the future.
So that's the thing. It's set in the future. The rock's quite a campaign trail. So it's got the story of the rock.
What's it even more? It's set the rock in 10 years time trying to be. And it's got him out of, Oh, of course. Jimmy, something out of one division.
You know the card trick guy. Oh, yes. The comedian comedian. Yeah.
But he's basically in the view of the rock and he becomes the rock's best friend. And it's just that shit crazy. But yeah, it's fantastic. Sure.
I'll always give you something shit to watch. Is this for shuttling? What said you want some real intentions? Possibly.
On he became governor of California. Anything's possible. The rock and the rock. Yes.
So yes, that is some portion of her little thing that she's. My little ditty. That is all that I just like to mop her about. So yay, it's right in the other.
I'll do the disclaimer and we can get correct on with today's episode. Yeah. Everything to this is our opinions and our opinions and all of you like to discuss anything from today's episode. Please come and join us in the Facebook group where we have an old decision or we want to have this anymore and come in first and tell us our opinions are wrong.
We can all agree to disagree and fund them. So let's give it a time and give the toxic behavior out of nerdism. Now, I have to say the nerds have been very well behaved lately as well. So I think it's myself and yeah, come tomorrow there'll be a shit storm.
Yes, a few little announcements as well. So we have hit a big milestone for the Facebook group and not the Facebook group, but the Facebook page. We have hit 10,000 followers. 10,000 fucking nerds.
We have hit 10,000 followers now. So we are Legion. We are many. We are taking over the world.
We are gone. Can you class that as an army yet? Or is it just basically a militia? I find out.
I would want to go up against them. That's right. Religion. We'll go with that.
So yeah, so we are going to be the next generation. So nuns will be the next generation. We'll be able to get the teachings very shortly on Patreon. Can Jake and Grant like sort of compose a national anthem for us?
No, it's yeah. Fuck yeah. But yes. So that's that house kicked off really well.
Goodwills. I just had this Star Trek episode is becoming a phenomenon that's taken on its own thing. And he is getting very demanding now. We want sort of these images in the right way and the right order.
So I am going down to Captain Goodwill. Yes, anyone who's an ex-star Trek. Anyone who likes Star Trek, it has been a good watch. I'd say Sami's ex-Kima Thrones part.
I think that Lord of the Rings again has been headed in as well. I suppose. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's just because I can't be asked to see it.
It doesn't need to not be on there. Yes. And the first picture with like the other next step. Well, third episode that's on the period I'll put on YouTube tomorrow as well.
So people who can't get access to. And with having the guests on as well, the horses with them more says, with us. Sunny Khan coming up, her and Tommy have been gracious and allowing us to come back for Revenge of the Nerds part two, where we will be. Well, do you see on Friday?
We will. Electric Boggaloop. Electric Boggaloop. So we will be making the return to Sunny Khan as well.
And Nerdfest that is coming up. So we do have a lot of things. I thought I'd get a promotion in now before it ends. Yeah.
I was keeping it in a distance anyway. But yes. So Nerdfest winning overall. Nerdfest equal love and peace and all that shit.
But yes. So yes, so fear of its cinema experience. And so I thought this would be quite a little nostalgia trip, a little bit of interest and a little bit of storytelling show we see. So hopefully this won't be like a two or three hour one, but I think, because I think Sam will probably die.
But I think for me, I've always had that romantic feeling or romantic nature towards the cinema. And I think it's always held in such high regard. Because I back in the day as well, I know people complained about the cinema being expensive. But to me, when I was a kid, it was always a treat.
You never used to go to the cinema every week. So when you got to Gore, it was always lavish. It was always like the expectation as well. And depending on where you're from or how old you were as well, like the experiences from cinemas do differ from different places as well.
And we're not lost. But like I said, don't know how good will the young ins shall we see her? And even though Sam has been reborn again as 21, she is. Let's do something.
You two are explaining similar things to what I've experienced, like the cinemas. So we got like you guys, like being the young ones, shall we say, what was your first incarnation or first experiences with shall we say the movie theater? And we'll go with Donna first. I'm still between two.
I can't actually remember which was first, but it was one of the silent hill movies and over the hedge when I was a teenager. I can't remember which was. So it's a bit of an ex-human sound hill over the hedge. They were by contrasting movies.
I was like, my dear dear. But yeah, it was one of those ones. I had to probably stack the release days, but I went with my friend from school. We went into the sign hill once.
We went all enough to go into the sign hill, but we managed to get in. And over the hedge was with a different friend who did random root stuff in there. You know, going back to what you was a tartan coach, I was like, I'm clearly watching over the hedge while me rest mate was doing stuff with a boyfriend. So I was like, oh my god.
So which cinema was this? So was it on an empire then? Yeah, the one like the one that we're with now. So the new age one type thing.
So Donna's first experience is I have a sneaking into a movie that she shouldn't be watching or trying to pretend that she wasn't being initiated in a three-wheel with a friend like she would potentially. Over the hedge man, over the hedge was mint. Oh my god. Because I was three away.
So I was actually going into the better. But that's the thing a lot of us remember as well, like over the hedge, I was watching stuff and I said, I like this one. But my friend got one go to this one as well. Well, what was that?
I did not have an experience like that. Well, to be fair, wasn't by her choice. That is true. And to go jump, you didn't sit in the middle of a mall.
That would have been already off. I was like, I want some popcorn. I don't know. Could have already done the popcorn trick on you as well.
Oh, bye. Bye. So what was your first experience in a summer young goodwill? I really had to think about this.
And it was 1997. I was nine years old in 1997. And we had two cinemas. Do we have one or two back then?
No, we had two cinemas. We had one in the center of the middle as we call the audience. And then we had a showcase cinema at T-SIP. I remember the audience because it was one of those quintessential classic cinemas where we had like one or two screens and had like the velvet curtain.
Oh, my God. When it was classic, like New Castle, the cinema in New Castle, you know, I just got like the velvet curtain at the part. Yeah, it's in the net, but there's some of them used to have that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it was 1996. And, you know, it's going to be a cliche for me now, but back then we didn't have a lot of money. So like Paul said earlier, you go to the cinema, it was like a real trick. Like you would go to the cinema for something that you really wanted to go and watch.
Like, you know, if you couldn't wait for it to come out on VHS and you have to go and see it. Yeah, it will be a treat. So mine. This is my very first ever cinema experience and it gave me a fear of things touching eyes afterwards.
What the fuck did you go and see? That's the first contact. Right. Okay.
What's this? This is for you. I was I was nine years old when this came out. It was early 1997 and it's the first contact was the 12th.
So I asked me, I was like, do you want to go see? Yeah, but it's the 12th. You know, you're gonna attract you know, a little bit more mature than what you do. Okay.
Stand up, stress, talk, take a voice. How do I do? Hello, I'm 10, 12. Yes.
How do you do? You know, obviously, you know, give a shit anywhere. So they're just like, oh, well, yeah, I'm 10, 12. I'm 12.
Yeah, all right. So we got here and I'm excited. I'm like, oh, I've got the curtain in the curtain party. You see all the trees.
Oh, it's going to come on in. This was the first time I realized that like it's half a fucking hour before the movie starts. And I have to go through like 30 different adverts and trailers and stuff. And you know, that scene in the Simpsons where Homer just starts a mutinade.
He's like, Oh, well, it's not really. This was me. I was just like one cat cat bat on the way from causing the revolution. You would have made up for the night as a kid, though.
I was quiet. I was quiet. I never said it would run to anything. And then suddenly I became a cop straight.
So but you're not blaming me for that. I don't know. It's a cop straight way. So yeah.
So the first four minutes of the Star Trek does see where it's because he was a ball. And he's like dreaming that he's a ball. And it's the process of him being simulated and it's got the fuck out with me. Because there's one scene where they have a close up of his eye and you see the drill.
And it just paces. Like it bends the eye and anyway. So from then on scarred life, absolutely scarred. That was my first, I mean, I love the movie.
I thought it was brilliant. But from then on I was just like, Oh, anything to do with eyes. I couldn't, I really couldn't do it. But it was, it was such an experience seeing a spectacle like a massive space battles and really loud music and stuff.
And you just like, because obviously, you know, back then it was like, you tell he was a 20 inch box, silly living room. And he just like, you look at it. And then you're like, Oh, you're looking all over. Oh, look at that.
Yeah. And it just because obviously it was a island. Star Wars, it did all the special effects. Like, wow, wow, wow, wow.
And he was just, yeah, and I didn't go to cinemas for three years after that, because my next film was the Phantom Menace. We'll get to that later on. Yeah. Yeah.
I got another jar join a box. Oh, what do you think you won? Yeah, the one I got for a tenner. I was fucking foreman.
I got him when he came out with a pair full price and he sends us a picture with a sticker. On a team 10 pound. I was like, fucking goodness. He's one of my favorite figures.
I love him. We're going to have fun at Sunnichon. Sounds like a small. I'll be the head.
So Sammy, what was your first experience? Please don't tell us you were given someone an option in the back of the picture. I'm going to watch something. I have to, what am I genuinely can't remember because I was incredibly young, but it's the first time I ever went to the cinema.
And it was with my dad. And I was incredibly young. And it was incredibly young. And it was incredibly young.
And it was incredibly young. And it was incredibly young. And it was incredibly young. And it was incredibly young.
And it was incredibly young. And it was to see you so white in some dwarfs. And my dad loves telling the story of how much of a pain in the arse I was throughout the whole in five film. I ran up the aisles.
I wouldn't see. You've got on my leg, Lisa's told the story and the thing as well about doing that. Oh, I haven't at the chat open at the minute. And I couldn't keep still.
I had to because I even do it today. I'm 40 years old and I still can't sit on a chair properly. I have to sit with my legs crossed or I'll sit on the floor. And I ended up doing that in the middle of the aisle to where my dad had to come and sit next to us.
Because it was the only way to keep us still and keep us quiet throughout the whole thing was to come and join me in the middle of the day. And he loves telling that story. I generally can't remember it. The one thing the core memory that comes out from me first in my experience, I believe it was all when old dogs got to heaven.
And I had to be trish went to take us to see that and I had to be removed from the cinema because I was in hysterics. And I couldn't stop crying. And I cried to the point where you know it's like, Oh, and he just kind of breathe and I'm making all these noises and I had to take us out and I remember a sitting and Burger King and telling us that it was all care. And I'm just a very oversensitive child.
And I've never I've never watched films with dolls like with animals in again. And I'm not doing it. Apart from when I got tricked into watching them, what you call it number four time, that we granddars never give them for that. I was just rushed for weeks after that.
But I think that's like the first time I remember a experience at the cinemas at the cinema. It was in Sunderland. It was the old one. It was kind of the corner.
And I think that's like the first memory I have. Cool. I know when we went before we went live. I did one of my stories might sound incredibly sad or quite like thing, but the really not, if that makes sense because the main a lot to me and probably things I got out of a bit of a dodgy child.
Well, I did. I wasn't dodgy just an all the child. But for my stories, I could still make a smile like for what I did and how I went about them and stuff like I put a lot of people like will make jokes and make references. To me, like the cinema is always like a sanctuary or a safe place or place where I can go and it still feels special.
Now is it does like the first time. So let's paint your picture. Let's tell you a story about my experience. Sit back.
Put your feet up. Have a nice little relax. I was only a wee bit. I remember how old I can't remember the year.
I kind of looked it up at Amalie as a. So some of the time we had two cinemas. There was other cinemas about. There was the member center and there was one about the village in Newcastle.
But the two in Sun and we had was the Sun and the ABC, which is now a nightclub called the Point, which only only had two screens, one big screen and a little screen. And used to show I think was full films per weekend used to have like the big release on the big screen and some independent movie or whatever film was coming out on the smaller screen. And a lot of people didn't know this, but we did have a little shitty cinema at Sun and Empire. Like to say that was on the side of it where it was hidden away.
That's where it used to show like the not the big releases or the films that never used to have like the big fanfare and stuff like that. So we did have options when I was a kid. Now you could tell when there was a big release at Sun and Empire because of the fucking queue. Because it was running the street.
Yeah, you've got around the corner. It's not like now you can go and say like you've favorite film or you want to say that's on every hour. Used to be two shows, one at mid-day and one at the end of the day and then the adults film just going like whether you show like films like seven or like the horror films. So you knew it was a big release if the queue went all the way past liberties and always to the open market.
So you used to be at the gauge where you could actually say if the queue is that big I'm not going to get a seat. But you couldn't order it all. You couldn't pre-book. You had to fucking wait.
So my first experience, I said what in the queue getting all excited would be with me, man. Me, man talkers and it was a great day for some reason. So we went to Burger King. So we had a Burger King beforehand and then we walked up the stairs and suddenly they say if you've never been or if you're saying pictures like inside.
Like with the outside it just looked like nothing like this was like a big building. Well, the inside it was like Vel the ropes, red carpet. Like I said, everything you walked in was kind of like it was a big deal. So you walked up to your ticket thing.
We had a little old woman in the ticket box and say one place and give you little paper tickets that the popcorn thing and ice cream thing. And even before the film came out, they had the ice cream teller at the front. So you had the way at the front with the torch to get your ice creams. So walking in just being mesmerized by everything.
And as Google said, it had the velvet curtains. So when cinema come on, everything opened and I absolutely adored as well. I still love it now. And I mean, I'm going to wife and nuts.
I love movie trailers. And I love going to pictures to see what trailers are out and what's going to be on. Not as much these days because the trailers get released online before they see them. I'm going to say the trailers before you had to go and see them.
That was the big whole thing with the Phantom Menace. There was people that appeared to see certain movies just to see the Phantom Menace trailer. Then leave after the trailer. That was just crazy.
That's crazy. But the first time I ever seen and the 20 year did see it was the fucking land before time. Oh my God. Well, me sitting there going, oh, there's a little fox.
Oh, there's the stuff shipping. I'm fucking sharp tooth. Tails. I put a new one out with little hoods.
But it's mom and I've never been able to cry like a little kid. And if anyone's watched the land before time, it is one of the most emotionally driven cartoons, everything. You want to watch the seven sequels that follow because they are all terrible. But the original was just asking me, but even though it was traumatic for them, I absolutely fell in love with that whole experience of sitting in and like just the smells and how people react.
And it's just blue as if we have like what how it can transport you in to that place. And to me, like, yeah, I can still taste and smell every aspect. Even though it was like thing just because it meant so much to us. Yeah, it was a time of where people did react to the screen and did react to what was in front of them.
So you did get you didn't get people talking, but you got like noises. You got reactions and it was it made the whole thing that you start to see it more nowadays the way people react to certain things that are happening and which a lot of people around upon, but that's what cinema used to be. It was a, you know, you would you're full on reaction was happening as you were watching it and you're allowed to be without being shushed to do that. Then it just became a deadly silent.
Otherwise you hadn't kicked out. Yeah. Yeah. So from that moment on, like say I was obsessed with the cinema, like, even to the point where I opened the button camera with the whole TSP at the time because you used to have like a month if you put at least a pound in your bank account each month, you used to get cinema vouchers.
You bought the cinema for free. And that's why some of you saw these get a little bit sad because where I grew up in riot was a bit rough. And the people I grew up with would I go out and steal cars or go out and fight or sell drugs. I would like, like, clear football with them or like do that.
But then I sat there Sunday with my cinema deus for each weekend and I asked what the pictures by myself. I still didn't matter what was on. I said, take me some about just like even went to see free. What do you buy myself?
I think they're not like, not like, not a story. That didn't happen. But it used to be quite fun because when I stand up because I speak like Jay Pride and plays I've been in front of the queue or makes a thing under the door with her and families used to take us in. These are the things that I was like, I was like, okay, buy myself and we used to go, where's your parents?
I'm good. I'm not going to call me a little bit more than this. I used to have free ice cream. I used to have free drinks because I finally used to buy this.
It's a huge video responsible. Now we're thinking about the pictures and getting free shit by people. They're going to take us in the back in the back in the back. So, I think I was who now, but back then that's not the fact that he.
Yeah. So yes, it was an innocent time that I was like, take and look after the paper. So anyone's watching, they used to like take a little kid, like find out the pictures and find. So I do thank you.
It was Paul. I do remember that second cinema. That was the empire because that's where I went to see turtles, one weather in Japan. And I remember it just being a sit on the floor.
It was just cushions that was no seat. So you just had on the floor with that. It was a screen. Yeah.
But yeah, I remember that cinema. Yeah. I went to see. I want to see power ranges of the movies three times.
I've sent them out at the empire. I don't know why I want to see power ranges three times. I didn't enjoy it. I don't think it was too much of a, like I didn't get confused by the concept of the movie either.
You just wanted to see it. Just to see it. Just to see it three times. I think there was nothing else on that month.
So that was power into the movies month for apparently. I haven't. I haven't. I remember Ivan news being the bad guy.
I'm not sure. It's terrible. But it's terrible in such a good way that I didn't want to not watch it. Have you done that before though?
Have you gone to, are you seeing a film multiple times? Well, you probably think yourself. I shouldn't have needed to say this as many times as I have. Yeah.
Cause when we were younger, we didn't get the multiple releases. So if you had a quiet month to see a few things, I was thinking I thought I needed going 33 and a third. Twice. He's been showing nature calls a few times as well.
That's sort of a legal extraordinary gentleman eight times. That's what I'm saying. I am my ex-worked born cinema. Right.
So, honestly, I didn't know, I used to think it was at work. I would just go and watch something. And for some reason, I kept picking the same film. I just wanna see it.
Wow. Yep. Absolutely. So I know the episode's called favorite cinema experiences.
