Now we are live. We're live. Hey everyone and welcome to the Nodia of North podcast. It's a Nodia podcast and it's hosted by Northern nerds.
I am one of your horse Sam. And I'm the other horse Paul and we are joined by two temporary nerds for the moment because one of them is is leaving us after a quick break I guess which is what she was curious to be on for too long. She's a big thing of being a Donna bless open now she's not. She's too famous.
She's doing this for us. That's it. So we have got the lovely Charlotte and Kev with us for the moment at least. So yes.
So yeah. We'll just have a bit before we went by. And we have like some kind of monster that's going to be a Charlotte soon as well. Lovely Ruby is joined us as well.
So yes, this is. Pick that moment. I love me. Sander Shrudhika.
Nice. So we've got Donna on screen as well. Oh, before Charlotte goes, you can join in this bit if you want to. Yeah.
Yeah. Just wanted to jump on to say a big thank you everyone. Obviously, I think everybody knows what happened last week. I was really, really ill and this one.
Save us. And I was just saying that. I was just saying that. I was saying that.
I was saying that. I was saying that. I was saying that. Sorry.
Oh, yeah. I just went in to tell the doctor to show the fuck up. But no, seriously, I was really not well last week and it was quite scary and everybody. I just want to say thank everybody who messaged everybody who helped Donna and Nick especially.
And just the whole near most community community for saying sort of get well soon. Keeping an eye on this. Keeping your spirits high. Yes.
Oh, Charlie, looks so tired. But you can leave it anytime you want to because the next part is the best part. It's all just how he's doing and what he's been watching. How natural was that?
Why do you put the potter's on in the world? Yeah. This emphasize how sophisticated I am by asking these types of questions. Because the story's going to tell about some.
That proves he's not sophisticated in this latest. Fuckin' he is. You've known me for as long as you have. Yes.
Yeah, he's been watching. What are you being? Sure. Let Charlie go first.
I swear to be in early second and stuff. She loves me. She loves me. She loves me.
She loves me. What are you watching? Um... Last of us.
What are you talking about? I was talking about that. I was talking about that. Um, from your mind.
What are you talking about? Watch your mind. Uh, his background materials. Yeah, fantastic.
Yeah. His background materials and... Little demon. Little demon.
Little demon. Little demon. It's a new cartoon on Disney Clos. From Dan De Ville.
It's Dan De Ville. It's seen that his daughter is playing his daughter. He was the young Christ. Oh, right.
Um, or reparza. Or reparza is her mum. That's amazing. I got sorted and it's one of the funniest things I've seen.
The guest house. And he was in it, but he was uncredited. Um, like those things in it. If you haven't seen it, it's so good.
It's so funny. Do you want to watch? Do you want to watch? Okay, it's okay.
I'll give it a go. I'll give it a watch. Because you've watched some really weird shows. That's it.
That was our fence. That's... I'll take the thoughts. We didn't judge note nerds in this book.
But, um... Not all you don't. I don't think we had to judge men, so I think it's more than observation. Yes.
So we did watch The Last Of Us and for people who are enjoying the show, we are that excited about this TV show. I think I'm even a little bit more excited than I was when I was watching The Sandman. So we are going to do an early recap next week on a new Friday. where we're going to do an episode where we'll be talking about the first three episodes of The Last of Us as well.
So you have to join in to that and I think it's going to be a trial run on Fisbee's Live as well. So yeah we're going to give it a go but we're going to do it just based on the first three episodes but we are going to do a full big episode. So everyone who's been you know loving it can come on and tell us how much they've been loving it. Oh yeah, I think you know, I guess.
Oh yeah, if that's to be wrong we're still um that's true. But um I've not really been watching much news stuff really I've been like Spacy binge watching only a Sunday in Philadelphia. I'm up the season eight now so it's like going to the really wrong episodes. Yeah, also I've started watching the final destination movies which again just binge watching them again.
I think I can hear back going nuts in the chat now. I always have to do an episode on the first destination movies like Halloween time I think. That'll be a good topic to talk about but um but I did watch the 90s show. Oh yes I was here.
Yeah the first episode was terrible not a lie. It did get better but not it didn't grip. I don't think it's as great as what well a lot of people are giving it a lot of fun for. I wanted to enjoy it because I like the characters and stuff like that but a lot of it did seem forced but again that was just my personal taste so again I know a lot of people will enjoy it.
I've got to episode three and I struggled a bit. Now I will talk about it as well because I watched another episode of the great and the best show on Discovery Moon Shiners where one of the moon shiners is basically running away from the fire marshals because he's house burned down and left his distillery in there and basically so he's having the run away to Brazil where he's going to be making copy flavored moon shine in Brazil so that's the plan for that so he's trying to raise and stuff like it's hilarious and the mid what was it moon shine that was mimosa moon shine so that was the flavor that we were trying out this week. Oh interesting. I think I've just thought of a new segment this week on moon shiners.
Remember the episode on now the with more started. I'm going to get a few people in the thing and I'm going to stream an episode of moon shine so he's going to enjoy it and and bring us the backwater hospital each other we say. May and jolly don't need to do that we just need to get in touch with the night naughty. Ah it's exactly the one who's scared of that.
If he was any more in breath you're sorry. Yeah he's there. Oh Kev I'm going to use that for my next let me next patreon episode we're talking about the congregants. I'm using that.
Oh dear. What about your care rather than being forced or whatever than that Charlotte watches? I've been working constantly so literally all we think I've been doing if I haven't been watching tell you with Charlotte is just listening I'm not going to be inside you're pretty well I've been working so. And I'll give you an I'll give you a credit sir because I don't think Charlotte really did give you the credit you were the hero with Charlotte.
You did everything the dog might have known something. I only went in to tell the doctor shut up. But yeah. But you did it though?
Yeah. You did it though. Kevin is the honorary hero of the episode. So that is so fun.
Longer by the hero. And I haven't watched anything new. I mean obviously I watched The Last of Us and but oh yes I did sorry I started Happy Valley and I just finished the first series just before we came on. What a very gripping my heart has not stopped race and throughout it and Sarah Lancaster that woman just not getting off credit she is fucking mesmerizing on screen.
I can never remember actually Carifers name in Coronation Street but Raquel lets it to go from Raquel to what I'm watching right now. It's such a juxtaposition that it's like whoa but yeah I am watching oh oh we have we have your mum in the chat. Oh I've just seen any of pop up over there. Is that there?
And I just swore at the same time. I'm really sorry Charlotte's mum. Hi Charlotte's mum. She says I kept her hero as well.
See I've seen when it all got out here. It's only went good wheels on basically. My mum's only guessing Ruby. Oh yes.
So are we going to have a disclaimer all the way with him? We can crack on with some top 5s. I am going to love using these because I am not prepared for this in the slightest and I am not going to be fine. You look so tight.
A lot of love and again a big big thank you everyone. Look at your answer. Don't worry about that. Come on next week actually.
I think it's a sharp moment that's great. Oh yes. Jix. Jix.
Yeah. Choice I guess. Do you want some homework? Yeah.
I'm not going to chop the sharp means. Great. Up on guys. I'll see you later.
Bye. Bye. Bye. Great.
She's gone. She's gone. She's got an option value. I love the transition.
I absolutely love the fact that she's gone. Yeah she's in the background. I love it. Right.
So everything just goes in the chat. Everything discussed in today's episode is our opinions and our opinions alone. If you liked it as anything from today's episode please come and join us in the Facebook group where we can have a little discussion. We want to have this.
Anyone comment for us and tell us our opinions are wrong. We can all agree to disagree and fandom so let's give it fun. Give kind and keep a toxic behaviour out of notism. Well said.
Yes. Thank you. Yes. So yes this week's episode, I can't know who picked this one was.
I think it might be. You said villains and instantly went oh and heroes. Yes. The top five heroes.
Yes. So this was a little bit easier to do than I was expecting. Like say the villains one was changing quite a lot. But the heroes ones when I thought about it kind of stuck and I'm not going to do Kev wrong by making go after all of us.
Like we did. We had a couple of weird stuff. So last time. So I'll play a fair this week.
But just to bring it on a little bit as well. So I'm going to be very nice once. I know this is not going to be my usual stick. So I'll be also be with your bastards.
If you've noticed as well, they've normally with the banners I do. Like say I always want references to make the films or the choices we do. I have put the team in the actual banner. So you can actually say the lovely members of the moderation team, the admins and the team podcast as well.
Or because you use all my heroes in a way because if it wasn't for you guys, you guys saved me a lot of the last two years during lockdown and I'll always love you as for that. So yeah. And we love you way as well. So yes, I just wanted to put that out there first.
I didn't want to leave that for last. Oh, sweet. I thought I'd get that out there first. That is so sweet.
You're going to make us cry. But I don't want you. We're talking all about heroes. But yes.
And actually that's a sobiness out the way there. So yeah, we'll take it to the unsophiest person of us all. So Kev, you can start us off. Sure.
It's gone. It's gone, but she's not forgotten. I say I'm completely unprepared for this a lot of mine. Probably should be duffed.
Number five, I'm going to say Jason for he's. Right. It's okay. So Jason for he's your hero.
No, he's not. But let's face it. He is the Catholic churches because let's face it. He's not premarital sex and dog and for so long by himself.
So yeah, legend. My fifth pick is probably going to be. He's not off is in absolute dickheads. But he is literally the epitome of you find out who someone is in the final moments.
And I'm going to go with Bill Paxton as William Hicks from. Sorry, everybody puts him from aliens throughout the entire film. He was an arrogant self-righteous asshole who was in it for himself. He wouldn't do anything.
He was absolutely terrified until that last couple of scenes where the men were he went absolutely mental and just started decimating everything so his team could get out of life. And he was basically just there. He's that little girl. He displayed literally every emotion under the sun, which heroes tend not to do.
Like you see Captain America and he's just like big on mostly himself. I just avoided up to the gills. It's not really much to be scared of. But again, it's a legend.
It's Bill Paxton. And Hudson was just absolutely phenomenal character. So is it like so? So it was the character Hudson in the film or was it just Bill Paxton as a hero?
Just I know you're a big fan of him in general for other movies he's done as well. It's supposed to be honest with you. Everyone knows I'm a huge Bill Paxton fan. I've never done anything bad.
He's fantastic. And everything he's in from here in makeup to acting. He's hilarious. He was such a down-worth guy.
But the character of Hudson just resonates on the personal level. And because you see people that are absolutely just bastards really there. They don't want to be doing this. They're just literally there for a paycheck.
Then when shit hits the van, you don't want anyone else by your side to these guys will fight to the nail for you. So for a personal experience, I've seen it. I don't know what these people like. I don't like them particularly.
But in those last moments they're going to show you exactly what they made over and they're going to show you the exact person that they really are. And the fact that the false bravado is just that. It is false bravado. They're just trying to lock out.
But really, they're terrified. No, I can't take the degree as well. Because when you think about heroes and stuff, it's easy to go to the superheroes. I'll go to make the other names.
And the probablys will crawl like this in this as well. But it's the people that you don't want to expect or that step up when the shit hits the van when the chips are down and makes the decisions or make the sacrifice that counts. The other ones I do stand up and say it picks. I really am sorry is one of the all-time sci-fi horrors or sci-fi action movies.
And each one of the characters you could see has heroic traits and stand out. But I think Bill Patrick stands out more because he's like, this is the human element and actually the human and the human side of it. And I think if you didn't have him in that role, it would be a completely different film. And it sounds strange because then I'll see Goni Waver's the star and you've got ex any other people who play different roles and stuff like that.
They'll master the story with the shoulder. Definitely. They want everyone remembers from the Marines. Yeah, you could pick Ripley as like, you know, iconic hero in that franchise.
But we really love down in the depth of it. I really love the way that you described like Bill Paxton's character. Because when I think of it, just as, I'm just in my head just thinking of that film, I just think I'm such a dick. You come across as such an asshole, like a lovable asshole, but an asshole nonetheless.
So I love the way that you just described that because I initially wouldn't have thought of it just to put the kai Bosch on this one before. Anyone mentions it in the chat or anything like that. He wasn't killed by a Terminator, a predator and an alien. So we see these means flying around all the time Bill Paxton, the only man to do this.
And so we're always jumping with Lance Enrichs as well. Alien's three Lance Enrichs and was operational. He wasn't dead. So that's out with the window.
Bill Paxton was not killed by a Terminator and an alien. He was taken and cocooned. However, half an hour later, the planet was dust. That is not enough time to be just burst.
So, by God, sorry. So there's no zip involved for this one as well. Not only that wasn't a zip involved, but I absolutely hate seeing that mean where he's the only man killed by this start and the other. The Terminator pushed him in defense.
It was never confirmed he was dead. Yes, he died in predator, but I'm sorry. Aliens he was taken and cocooned. He wasn't just burst within 40 minutes of it.
Half an hour 40 minutes of it happening. The planet was dust. It didn't exist. That is not enough time.
So yeah. I have never seen them names. I just know that he took on a fucking twister and won. Do you know what I mean?
Yes. If anyone wants to post that meme city, I will ever take him. So, we'll be quite quiet. I want to watch 10 set explodes.
Yes. I'll pull up yourself. I'll pull you forwards. And then if one else will steal him.
Such a good first pick and like a nice way of explaining it. Love it. What about you, Sam? You're cool for your first pick there.
Oh, well, I'm gonna, I'm gonna go with the most obvious because I am this, this is very true to me. Oh, God, I've lost my list. Sorry. This list is very true to me.
And I was gonna be very clever about it. And it wasn't gonna work. So, my first pick is not very clever. Because I'm not really not.
I was like, how can I make this interesting? I'll just be true to myself. And so I'm gonna go with the first one, which Kevin's already mentioned is Captain America, Steve Rogers. I don't just love Captain America.
MCU Captain America. I love comic book Captain America. And he's just, he stands for so much. Like you can, you can find your heroes in the X-Men and it can become, you know, and it could be very easy to do that.
But for me, I just love his integrity. I love his work ethic. I love how he's always completely 100% to himself. Nothing changes in that man's mind.
And it's just, I just love it. But there's so many different stories that I followed in comic books with him with his soldier, one was just, you know, a man with his soldier was just absolutely phenomenal and took his on such a journey with him. But even in MCU, he's, he doesn't change. And I know people might find that really boring and I get it, I do.
But that's just a testament to him as a character. He does. He becomes a lot more cynical. Yeah.
And he loses his faith. If you look from Captain America, one where he was Captain Puerto Rico with his, uh, like, he's a nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice thing. And he's always, he was always on the right side of right. Yeah, he's always the right side of the right side.
Yeah, he's right. He's right. He's more always never changed. But he's kind of like, look at the world's kind of changes throughout.
And I think the testament to the character and the actor who plays him as well, you can see the same as Bobby down in junior night and 20 Sarc. You've taken them to massive, massive heroes out there. So you know, we've got to reversion without them. Yeah.
And actually, they've tried to play us and they've tried bringing different aspects and ton different stories. But the core thing that made these, like, made this always work was because of the characters and the people that you've had an over with. And it shows how big a star and like bigger presence that the make that we are now a little bit lost in the MCU without them. So I can see, and there's even rumors that I'm going to bring them back and I can see later on, like, we'll say them again in secret wars, but that'll be again, different versions of different takes of them.
So it'll be quite interesting to see. Yeah, I've never felt like the kind of like buzz since, you know, the likes of civil war and like the hype and lead up to that with them two facing off against each other. And I knew it was always going to be different to the comics and I, I have not just read the comic, but I've also read the Titans as well. I was very much committed to that fucking series.
Sorry, you're shot this man's still in. But yeah, I was really, I knew it was going to be different, but the hype leading up to that. And it was it was them too. It was there, you know, the campaigns that they did around them, like the interviews at the zone and oh, I was just fantastic.
But Steve just has such a special place in my heart. I even have my own and Steve Rogers, my work match because it just gets me through my day. I was quite deep point out when I mentioned Captain America before, I wasn't shit. I know, I know, I know how people feel about him because he can come across as kind of like goody two shoes and you know, but this for me, I find something special in that and I find something really special in him.
When the soldiers still my favorite MCU film to this day is absolutely phenomenal. It's so different from Marvel. But I feel with Marvel heroes, Steve is the only one that will fill journey. Yeah, I thought I would start to finish.
He got a second and then he had hell between, he got more and more cynical. He did say, true to himself, his morals changed and what he viewed is right and wrong to change from the downfall of Shield onwards, because he was a company line. He was a soldier. And I think he's that right, you know, when a soldier, when he saw the heady car he is, he's like, this isn't freedom.
This is a hostage. Yeah. You're pointing them, gonna people, this is not freedom. And then from there on, which you can slowly see him starting to distance himself and I was talking about it.
Yeah, I just I am the final scene in the final scene, but the final battle in Endgame where you where he's just standing in front of Thanos and he's the chips are down. Everyone's gone. He's just on his own. He's broken to pieces.
He's Shield is broken. And he's still just tight into somebody's seat. He's ready. He's just ready to go.
I like, I'm getting chills and tea is thinking about it because then that beautiful moment happens where he has some Wilson's voice and it's on your left and I will I ball every time I see that I'm even talking now thinking about it. And it's just that's him. But even the comic version of it, even in the comic version of it, I was saying when you go to the next, we do it well plays a slightly different in the comic. And you've got Steve Rogers, Captain America, standing face to face with Thanos and Thanos, knows he's basically defeated Steven.
He's like, as long as there's one man still standing there, still willing to fight, you'll never truly win. Then unfortunately Thanos breaks his neck. I am Charlotte will never forgive me for that film because literally when you saw the shield Titan, you saw him sort of in full with intention. You go literally, I just turned your head to the left and it was like, I fell from the Simpsons.
Yes. Second, I looked at her and said on your left, she just stared as though. I'll never say a film with you in the cinema ever. Ever.
I'm just putting it out there. I was trying to pop a contract on you there. We are never going on a cinema dish because I'm trying well what you like. You know what?
You've been looking at a screen. But yeah, Captain America, I couldn't I would be lying to me self if he wasn't on this list because he is incredibly special to us and so first choice. Thank you for being lovely about it as well. We're not going to show each other.
That's like, we've never done that. That's true. That's true. That's good.
Thank you for being lovely. Whatever we've been ditched. No, he's never been at the more house than we will be about. I mean, they could be like, oh, that's such a boring choice.
Oh, well, my God, I'm being boring. Don't worry. Mine is probably the most predictable choice of them all. But it was the first ever superhero that I ever saw.
Just simply because he is the standard bearer. I'm not even a biggest fan of this character in comics but the actor who played him and the role he was in has never been surpassed. It's never been better done. I was an or as a child watching his movies, Christopher Reeves as Superman.
You see that picture when you're saying you're singing in the outfit. He didn't need CGI to give him muscles and stuff like that. And fair enough, Superman is probably more of a boy scout than Captain America. True, just a San American way.
You can you kind of get more cheese than superman and smallville, like, say, Clark Kent, all the different aspects. But when you watch Superman for a first time, even watch it now, if you're watching as a kid now, you get chills. Even watch all these special effects, all these mega movies, you believe a man can fly. And that was such a special and a moment in some history.
And that will never be beaten for me. I 100% agree. Superman, she was one of my dad's favorite films. That is the one with Zorg, isn't it?
Zorg. Yeah, Zorg. That's it. I'm not the biggest Superman fan, if you haven't guessed.
But my dad used to make us watch that when he had a chance to between course-master sessions. And I always remember seeing the villains and the out there blackout. Oh my god. That's when I knew I was going to be a doc chattler, a doc solo, because I saw one to be them.
Yeah, well, of course, sexy villains, if that makes sense. Yes. Like, say, when you're, as a kid, you didn't really get it. But I was like, I don't know what you're watching now.
And you're just like, wow, like, say, that's when villains, you saw the doc center. I would go over there with them. I would be on their buses. I would join you in a heartbeat.
But it is one of my dad's favorite. Like, I don't say like favorite films, but he has a lot of like, high regard for it. That's his kind of superhero, Christopher Reeves and Adam West. And if you try and argue with them, you'll always be able, there's no capow.
There's no kaboom. It ain't a comic book film. So that's my task, uh, on a tat. I mean, he's got a point on it.
With them without a West Batman. I mean, let's face it. You never have to say amen, man. He showed up with a new report.
You knew about that. I've literally just watched the Tango and stuff. I have literally just watched Adam West Batman episode on Big Bang Theory. And I'm sure he sees something along those lines.
He was like, they don't have to CGI muscles on me. I just had them. That's the best thing. I absolutely love the original Superman.
I think Henry Cavill's better. But the nostalgia wise, the original Superman, when I think about it, there was a back to being a kid. And it does take me back to that little morphalo cinema. And yeah.
It's just, it's just the story is absolutely ridiculous at times. Like Superman wanted to build a classic sex, like the John Williams score. That was Richard Dunham, I think. I was probably the first one.
Yeah. Tell us wrong. Yeah. And it was like the whole Niagara Falls, Lois Lee and Bing Pack.
Haven't Jane White, wasn't Jane White? Was it not Jane White? I mean, happened. Jane, happened as Lex Luthor.
Even though they didn't name Walt, I couldn't give him a fuck. Like, he was like, what you're ruining him for as well. I know what it got silly with Superman 3 and Superman 4. Like, Richard Pryor and like, Z and Newkina Man got involved.
But anytime you saw Christopher Reeves, like, say that look on his face. And even, he never got makes the amount of stuff like that when you seem like, get bullets, get flipped off of him and stuff. You just fell in love with cinema. That's probably the best way I'm in this way.
But you fell in love with movies and you fell in love with storytelling. And for me, that's why special and external with type of heroes. And it's sad what happened, like, because they'll keep saying about the curse of the Superman films, like, everything that happens afterwards to have the stars. But he never looked back and never looked down on it as well.
He was so proud of what he did. And I know he did kind of, he wasn't like, small villain stuff when he was in his wheelchair and stuff. But to me, not just like Superman, the actor, the actor himself was a race. He was the ultimate hero in my eyes as a kid.
Yeah, I love when actors unashamed of the characters that play, even though they've had, like, you say Superman 3 and 4 went a bit off the rails and can be, you know, not looked as great as the other ones. And I can put it down. People were like, kind of, wanted to distance themselves and say, you know, but I do like when actors like fully appreciate and get on board with us as fans, with their character. Like, I think, um, God, the person who comes to me my straight away is always running down to Junior.
Yeah. How was he? Tom Holland. Tom Holland.
Tom Holland. Yeah, then kind of actors. Like, what even watching Ben Dicomberge go into a comic book shop as Doctor Strange and buying an Doctor Strange comic book was one of the most brilliant moments, because it's just shows like, that's, for me, it's just like a level of commitment where you're like, I'm with you as fans, like, I'm with you and I love that. Definitely.
So that's my number one. Such a love choice. I'm probably about the warm and fuzzies right now. I genuinely think when you get an act like that, that totally embraces the character and just, it's glass of like, um, repeating something that I said yesterday, a show that's my, um, Johnny Lee Miller with Elementary, um, he literally lost himself in the Sherlock novels and brought his own spin on it and lost himself in that office.
So long. So good. I love the word I was looking for. Like, embrace the character and like, come along with Johnny with the fans, as opposed to having like a higher level to us, like, I'm kind of above you.
But like, the likes of Robert Downey Jr. Was always amongst us. Yeah. Yeah.
That's, that's the best way to describe it. I was such a lovely choice. Cool. That was my first name.
So Kev, your number two. My number two, um, my number two, I'm going to go with a very, very, very, very, very obvious one. It was always going to appear on my list. Um, and it's going to be Dutch Shafer from Predator.
I can see how Kev's list is going to pan out tonight. We don't get a Terminator reference in the night. There's something seriously wrong. We don't get any duchess on from the first one.
Oh, right. Okay. Thank you. I genuinely didn't rate the heroes from the Terminator films.
So will I leave them? Okay. Um, but no, Dutch was, um, Dutch was my favorite character on the original term, the original Predator. Obviously it's on, I grew up on on films.
Um, but it was kind of the Boy Scouts thing that got to me. Um, it wasn't the, I'm big and strong kind of thing. It was the fact that you think it was smart about what you had to figure out. You can't kill it.
You can't go with it. You can't go with it. It's a different angle. You've got to be using the jungle.
You've got to use what you can't see. Um, he's the kind of, he was thinking out. Like it was hunting them when he was trying to figure out what was going on. Um, so he was, he was a smart character for me.
Um, then after that following on in the books like Concrete Jungle and stuff like that, where it was all about his brother trying to find him. Um, there was lots, lots to do with that character that he should have came back. Um, he really showed up. They were going to bring him back for the last Predator film.
Uh, as a cameo at the end to launch the rest of the franchise coming off, but he wanted too much money. Um, let's face it, the reason for that is because the squirks was crap. Um, but now he should have came back for the, for one of them at least. No, I also was a missed opportunity.
Like, as you said, with the eight least ones in the Predator films, you, your thoughts, this, this has got legs that you could get more out of it. Like, see with that character and it kind of like didn't. And actually I know Predator 2 has a love it. I think Danny Glover's actually quite a bit of it.
It's really incredible too. Then the later ones just other than what we've got now were pre-er. Um, as, as it has been being given the source material, the respect that probably has deserved. And actually we're having the color of someone like Arnie as an action book.
Like at the time he was born out by classics like Commando, was it red heat and stuff like that? Yeah, right on. Yeah, but Commando was, uh, John, John, John, he was going to take this off because he was a brilliant character. But Dutch was the quintessential Arnie rule.
In the jungle, all the one line is like stick around, knock knock, get to the chopper. And he's so nice. It's the quintessential Arnie film. It's absolutely fantastic.
There's so many stories about that film. Like Arnie's famous sense of humour where he's put one of the losses in makeup. He put her up to tell him Jesse Ventura is arms were two inches bigger than Arnie's. So Arnie, a couple of weeks later, obviously, has to drop in these seats and they said when two women says, oh I think it's massive bottle of champagne.
Like we're talking like a round bottle of champagne. That my answer is bigger than yours. Obviously Jesse Ventura even all this. Like I had any problem.
Jesse Ventura obviously had to want to send a fortune on this bottle of champagne because Arnie was bigger. Oh god, I heard a great story from Joanna McEnelow when he did a movie with Arnie. It was like a swap movie. It was, um, it was like no extraction.
I know exactly which one you mean it was cool. It was a very good film. In the end, it was him and Sam Worthington. And he was, uh, Sam Worthington.
Oh, well, him and Sam were standing behind Arnie, right? They're seeing Arnie's like in front of them. And they're doing like quotes of Predator behind these back. And just as they're about to say action, Arnie just turns to them and goes, I believe we can kill it and walk away from them.
Just leaves them absolutely stunned. I need to know what a film is now because I love it. I'm sorry. I can't, I can't, what it's called.
I do have a love for the first Predator, but I haven't seen it in so long that I generally forgot Arnie's character name. I wanted to know the present in so much. Yeah. It was so good.
Um, that film was sabotage. That's it. Yes. I was so good.
I loved it. It was a welcome return for Arnie. I did not read it. Nice.
I'm Worthington. I genuinely enjoyed his character. I thought he was class. Terrence Howard was absolutely phenomenal in that film as well as the bar guy.
Joanna again, I was unreal. He was big. He was very big. He was, that was during his downtime for True Blood.
And that was the time when, um, I was in Zack Snyder made the phone call and said, kind of need to come in and Jo said, come to it. It's got the Golden Handcuffs done for True Blood and he got turned down for, um, it was like, my birthday segment or just, it was one of them where he couldn't make it to do like a full performance, which is why I got for you. Yeah, I was just superman. I got my birthday superman.
I joined up at the end as Deathstroke. Yeah, but it was meant to be more. It was meant to be so much more. Well, the entire script was meant to be better off like, um, but I was just, I was just, I was just a bit too bad.
Interesting. That's what we're going to get. That's why he shot the test footage. Yeah, that's what we're going to do in a single where then it was going to be like, building the justice, uh, the bad justice league.
What was it called? Justice league, okay. No, no, that was that one with, um, all the leading to doing that was it. This is what I got the leading to do involved in, like that.
Yeah. So, but yeah, um, I knew Arnie was going to be on someone, well, well, I was a catalyst. I was a catalyst. I was going to be anyone and it was going to be anyone and it was one we could have.
No, it was always going to be my list. So, so, so, so follow, follow. I'm going to, I'm going to lower the torn a little bit. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. And I'm going to get a little bit sad with my next one. Um, I was looking through lists and this name came up and I went, oh my God, he is the true hero. Um, it's a Tom Hanks character, but it is Andrew Beckett from Philadelphia.
Right. Okay. Yeah. And he isn't, he isn't absolute hero to, I love that film very much.
Um, but the, the fact that he, the, the story that it is, yeah, it could have been really difficult to like kind of put it onto film, especially the time that it came out, but I think Tom Hanks did it with such dignity and research that it just comes across beautifully. And he is a hero. He took on this huge corporation because he was done wrong. Yeah.
And I just, I had, when I saw that name pop up, I was like, I don't think I ended up talking about it for a long time because it is quite a sad subject and it is a really sad film. But I thought I really wanted him to be involved like be included in my heroes because he really is. No, it's an important film as well. Cause a lot of people, like we are fortunate in the time in the world that we kind of live at the moment.
But if you watch that film, that kind of shit used to go down and having quite off, quite regularly and people like him, like say, and that's the open said, no, we're not going to let this happen anymore. We're not going to be persecuted. We're not going to be downtrodden or look down on for the, for being through the, the, the, that's the thing that's, that's the important thing. And having someone like Tom Hanks and, uh, was Denzel as well, wasn't it?
Denzel, yeah. In them balls and doing it the way they did. They took balls because at that time, that was a scary subject to hit. And all we're getting more shows about the AIDS crisis and stuff coming out about it now.
And all thanks in the last 10 years, we've been getting more of that. But to do it at that time, when people were even scared to say the word, the AIDS and HIV. It's really, really brave. And Denzel as well, like you could, I could have quite easily included him because it's such a, the progression of his character going from, you know, even he was terrified of it, but with a little bit of research and it's just the change and I just love that film.
And there's not exactly at which point I'm going to cry every time I watch it. And it's not when he's dying. It's when the show, the video of him being a kid at his way. And I just, it's that song as well.
And I can't think of few things that would break my heart. But I saw it, but not for the fact that Andrew has passed away. It's for the love that's in that room. And every single person who loved and supported him.
And again, such an awful misjustice because it really, it was horrible. And I believe it's a true story. Yeah. Would be wrong.
No, no, it was a true story. And I had to, and I didn't want to talk too much about him because it is quite the sad thing. And I am feeling very warm, but I was going to leave him till I close it to the end. And be like, ah, look at this one.
So yeah, Andrew. No, I think we are going to get a lot of feel good moments like when we talk about heroes. That's not going to be a given. But I think what you've just done is just elevated a bit.
So thank you for that. Well, very welcome. Look at us. Look at us.
I've been asking for a long time. I need to keep doing something. I need to be doing nice use. You really are.
I'm starting to think, are you actually there as the pre-recorded and like you sit somewhere else? Definitely pre-recorded. That's what I'm going to say. And not after Rogue, but yeah.
I'll bring the tone a little bit back for this one. OK, thank you. Thank you. So I'll sing these a little songs.
I know I'm thankful as I'll be nice to you. So, um, because when I thought about heroes and all this jazz, I didn't look at this. I just looked at it. I thought what meant and like to me and what would basically enjoy it.
And I said, I don't want to have a huge Disney fan. So to say that I wasn't included, Disney character in this would have been total bullshit and I would have been expected to be called out for it quite heavily. So I'm going to go with one I wasn't expecting, but when I was sitting there, it is probably one of the best or one of the well-rounded stories and just absolutely amazing soundtracks and stuff. But just I'm on my way.
I can go the distance. I don't care how far. Somehow I'll be strong. Every, I know every mile will be worth my while.
I would go almost anywhere to find where I belong. So yeah, so Hercules. And as a Disney fan, because I know a lot of Disney fans can't get dated and make it's an nostalgia factor as well. And I wouldn't be that sad if they did do a live action this, because it's one of the ones I think live action could work with really well.
As long as we get the right people and the right cast involved. But I'd up there with one of the top Disney films I was ever made in my eyes. 100% agree. This is the time I love Disney was here.
And I just want to sing all the songs now. No chance, no way. It's the gladiator. Hercules.
That thing is when you think about these types of things, like Disney fans in the world always makes me smile. But if you think about Hercules, every element you can't help but get one for these, even the villain, James Woods is absolutely phenomenal. His reactions and again, if they were going to remit, I would actually kick off if they didn't cast James Woods again as he had at least, especially if he likes to have the dillies still alive and have done either big or big. Like, I was watching a few of them the other day and they talked about Hercules and I was like, Oh my God, he's failed!
But it's Frank! But the TT is that's it? But the TT is, but yes. And even though I'd say the gods and everything, every aspect of this movie just hits perfectly and makes it, it doesn't downplay the female characters as well, which a lot of Disney films do, it makes it strong and independent.
