[SPEAKER_00]: I'm late.

01:42.253 --> 01:43.935
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't need to.

01:44.135 --> 01:47.158
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't apologize to me.

01:47.178 --> 01:50.701
[SPEAKER_01]: I actually accept my friends with wet hair or not.

01:50.961 --> 01:58.929
[SPEAKER_00]: It's very unprofessional, but I was, I was karaokeing into the wee hours last night.

01:59.149 --> 02:00.971
[SPEAKER_01]: So, just saying anything good?

02:04.001 --> 02:07.283
[SPEAKER_00]: Kind of, I, I did too, I failed twice.

02:08.344 --> 02:09.204
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what you like?

02:09.465 --> 02:13.107
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what you do songs that you think are gonna like, it's like, I don't know.

02:13.367 --> 02:17.730
[SPEAKER_01]: Some people are gonna know this song, and then the other people don't know this song.

02:19.771 --> 02:21.493
[SPEAKER_01]: What was, what, what were they?

02:21.633 --> 02:30.158
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, one, okay, I would say one of them was people didn't know this song, one of them was they were like, this is not the vibe, but, you know, okay.

02:30.659 --> 02:32.260
[SPEAKER_00]: Why not me by the judge?

02:33.300 --> 02:35.422
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, what's the first one that not enough people knew?

02:36.343 --> 02:52.278
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the second one which was just like not the vibe was for bag by Fiona Apple Yeah, those I'd actually don't know that judge song either so I would have been with everyone else

02:53.359 --> 02:58.401
[SPEAKER_01]: But paper bag is very fun to sing, but a lot of... Yeah.

02:58.701 --> 02:59.161
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

02:59.521 --> 03:00.141
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

03:00.862 --> 03:02.262
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what lessons learned.

03:02.702 --> 03:03.662
[SPEAKER_01]: Lessons have been learned.

03:03.723 --> 03:05.563
[SPEAKER_01]: I really don't really ever do karaoke anymore.

03:05.643 --> 03:10.325
[SPEAKER_01]: There have been craving it, like private room karaoke because I used to do it so much before.

03:11.525 --> 03:22.309
[SPEAKER_01]: I've been craving, doing it, and I really want to sing that, I think it's a Luke Bryan song from Twisters.

03:23.909 --> 03:24.510
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

03:25.110 --> 03:25.411
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

03:25.431 --> 03:28.052
[SPEAKER_00]: Just think it's a really fun song.

03:28.072 --> 03:35.517
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the Twisters soundtrack is like really good.

03:36.578 --> 03:37.098
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry.

03:37.839 --> 03:43.503
[SPEAKER_00]: It has no right to be as good as it is, but like as an album, it's really good.

03:44.358 --> 04:03.553
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I really enjoy it, so I'm, that's what I want to sing then, you know, when I just planned my birthday party, dear listeners, it's in a month and it was a toss up for me between like private room karaoke and rent a movie theater to make all my friends watch the fall, and I picked renting a movie theater.

04:04.914 --> 04:12.020
[SPEAKER_01]: But I would say they come out to about the same price if you're, you know, like buying drinks and stuff at the place.

04:12.360 --> 04:23.449
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this, the birthday girl just, very classy, did that thing where it's just like, she just rented it, it was a packet, it became with a bunch of drinks and stuff.

04:23.930 --> 04:28.414
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was just like, here, my friends come, come, enjoy this, karaoke room.

04:29.054 --> 04:31.295
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, my experience is that that's actually what adults do.

04:31.955 --> 04:33.096
[SPEAKER_00]: I, yeah, I agree.

04:33.236 --> 04:34.677
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm, I just think it's cool.

04:35.497 --> 04:37.018
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god, I think it's so cool.

04:37.338 --> 04:49.083
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I, I, I don't experience it much yet, but it's like, when I hear about like, oh, yeah, he like had a birthday dinner at an expensive restaurant, and he just,

04:49.861 --> 04:52.583
[SPEAKER_00]: Pete, I'm like, yeah, it's so cool.

04:53.303 --> 04:57.045
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because it is just like, you just want to provide a nice time for your friends.

04:57.065 --> 04:57.706
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.

04:59.267 --> 05:10.294
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're here to get into some serious business, but before we get to Resident Evil, I saw a movie this week that I just want to talk about really briefly, because it was sort of a completely,

05:11.254 --> 05:14.035
[SPEAKER_01]: unexpected experience for me.

05:15.355 --> 05:22.918
[SPEAKER_01]: This was something Alex bought tickets to months ago and didn't even really realize it was happening this week until like the day before.

05:22.938 --> 05:26.719
[SPEAKER_01]: And he was like, oh, we're going to go see a movie.

05:27.659 --> 05:30.100
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like by this guy, I like.

05:30.320 --> 05:32.141
[SPEAKER_01]: That was literally all the information I had.

05:33.830 --> 05:55.304
[SPEAKER_01]: like leaving for a husband to say yeah and it was just like you know he has good taste so a lot of times it's like something interesting I'm lucky right that we like align enough in our tastes that he's never really dragging me to anything that I'm like what the fuck so we went to this movie Emily have you ever heard of the internet

06:01.557 --> 06:01.857
[SPEAKER_01]: never.

06:03.939 --> 06:06.080
[SPEAKER_01]: I had seen his photo before.

06:06.181 --> 06:09.443
[SPEAKER_01]: I had seen him on Twitter.

06:09.463 --> 06:13.086
[SPEAKER_01]: He's an incredibly popular character on the internet.

06:13.146 --> 06:14.126
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like a comedy.

06:14.307 --> 06:17.429
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the character of the comedian Tim Savage.

06:17.449 --> 06:18.550
[SPEAKER_01]: She's like a Portland comedian.

06:19.851 --> 06:25.577
[SPEAKER_01]: But he does kind of doesn't break how many use a wrestling term that I think I'm using correctly.

06:26.017 --> 06:27.598
[SPEAKER_01]: Rivers will text me if I'm wrong.

06:29.701 --> 06:33.224
[SPEAKER_01]: Rivers is our old roommate who is wrestling king of wrestling stuff.

06:34.485 --> 06:39.250
[SPEAKER_01]: He doesn't ever break K-Fade really ever anymore with the character online anyway.

06:39.730 --> 06:43.673
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, but you can find old interviews where he is just a guy, right?

06:43.733 --> 06:52.400
[SPEAKER_01]: He wrote, he wrote a novel a few years ago and was just like, I found an interview where he's just doing this, he's just a guy pitching his novel, like, okay.

06:52.660 --> 06:56.443
[SPEAKER_01]: He's just like, he's kind of an interesting guy.

06:57.163 --> 07:00.025
[SPEAKER_01]: So the movie was called Squeezy Jibs, makes a movie.

07:01.506 --> 07:08.331
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's a whole movie with this character that I, the second I realized what it was, I was like, I have only seen one video of this guy

07:10.299 --> 07:18.761
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, if you guys listeners, if you've never seen him before, I hope you've googled him because I've said his name six times in your, if you didn't know it, you're like, what the fuck are you talking about?

07:19.461 --> 07:19.902
[SPEAKER_01]: S.K.

07:20.282 --> 07:22.182
[SPEAKER_01]: W. E. E. No, two.

07:22.262 --> 07:22.502
[SPEAKER_01]: E's.

07:22.522 --> 07:23.863
[SPEAKER_01]: See why?

07:24.043 --> 07:24.583
[SPEAKER_01]: Squeezy.

07:27.324 --> 07:32.185
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the flat brim cap guy who's telling stories on TikTok about like,

07:34.032 --> 07:54.716
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, he films in a really specific position with the phone really close to his face and his, he does a really small mouth thing and he'll be like, um, so one time I, and it's like a kind of a Florida trailer park kind of energy, um, this comedian is from Florida and so he's clearly like doing a thing that he's very familiar with.

07:56.677 --> 08:01.538
[SPEAKER_01]: The movie was genuinely so sweet and funny.

08:03.579 --> 08:11.626
[SPEAKER_01]: and it was one of those things where it's like, again, in the theater, so he introduces the movie, he's touring the movie himself.

08:12.126 --> 08:19.913
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a fully, he kickstarted the movie and then had to raise money himself, a fully independent production.

08:21.934 --> 08:26.297
[SPEAKER_01]: um, and it is about that character trying to make an action movie.

08:26.978 --> 08:27.598
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

08:27.938 --> 08:39.566
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's it almost is like, the way I would describe it is like, if someone made a movie, a comedy movie about like Tommy

08:45.930 --> 08:48.551
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a lot about how the movie is obviously going to be bad.

08:48.591 --> 08:49.831
[SPEAKER_01]: They don't know what they're doing.

08:49.851 --> 09:08.698
[SPEAKER_01]: He's kind of crazy But it ends up being beloved like and so it's just It was really charming and it's also I was sort of immediately picking up on like this is a situation where Smart guys play the best dumb guys

09:10.818 --> 09:38.810
[SPEAKER_01]: And so it's obviously not the same exact same like sensibility but sort of the same humor mechanism that Nirvana the band plays with right it's like done guy he's a little bit innocent yeah but not really but kind of like delusions of grandeur like a lot of that kind of stuff and it in the middle has a honest to

09:40.502 --> 10:01.586
[SPEAKER_01]: meditation on grief and it was wowie touching okay and I was sincerely impressed because all I knew of this guy was like some of the story videos I had seen the video where he's like I tried to go to Indiana but I'm in India and it's like that is like the most viral

10:09.408 --> 10:14.090
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm really surprised, because even I can picture his like avatar really clearly.

10:14.470 --> 10:31.416
[SPEAKER_01]: No listen, the guy has like millions of followers, so I don't know that he needs my shout out here, but he's touring the movie now and then I think it'll be available on VOD and he is just trying to make back the money that goes to the crew.

10:32.397 --> 10:36.078
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you know how much it costs to make?

10:40.798 --> 10:42.338
[SPEAKER_01]: A million dollars probably.

10:42.418 --> 10:48.039
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't remember that for sure because I was just surprised researching the fall as well.

10:50.560 --> 10:51.920
[SPEAKER_01]: And I know the fall cost $2 million.

10:51.940 --> 10:54.481
[SPEAKER_01]: So I might be like inflating that a little bit.

10:56.321 --> 10:58.562
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think it was a, I know that he raised like,

11:00.674 --> 11:10.558
[SPEAKER_01]: 80 grand on Kickstarter or something and it's like they blew through that immediately and he had a real crew that he was paying Yeah, so like does it look good?

11:11.118 --> 11:19.921
[SPEAKER_01]: It looks great and it's got there's an actress in it who's from like Who is from this is us he said and like a few other things you little boy

11:22.206 --> 11:26.767
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I love this, she's a little blonde lady, she's very cute.

11:28.047 --> 11:33.508
[SPEAKER_01]: But, and yeah, just like the cast of characters were like completely charming and good.

11:34.408 --> 11:44.830
[SPEAKER_01]: And there was a mix of like, I think they have a sequence where they advertise on Craigslist for actors, for the movie, and like, and like production people for the movie.

11:45.370 --> 11:49.271
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think there was a little bit of that nerve on to the band, like they just shot that,

11:51.371 --> 11:54.692
[SPEAKER_01]: A Craigslist ad where they tell people to go to a sex motel for an audition.

11:58.093 --> 11:59.754
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, it was funny.

12:00.394 --> 12:03.135
[SPEAKER_01]: I really Monica, stamp of approval.

12:03.195 --> 12:08.577
[SPEAKER_01]: I think if you can check it out, you should see it out because it's really fun to see a comedy with a bunch of people.

12:08.897 --> 12:09.317
[SPEAKER_01]: I did.

12:10.257 --> 12:12.038
[SPEAKER_01]: I do just want to say when I was in the screening.

12:12.818 --> 12:15.139
[SPEAKER_01]: Everyone in the room was so excited to be there.

12:15.159 --> 12:17.140
[SPEAKER_01]: And they barely...

12:18.380 --> 12:20.282
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, and which makes sense, right?

12:20.302 --> 12:21.323
[SPEAKER_01]: They bought tickets, right?

12:21.423 --> 12:24.987
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, but it was at an AMC.

12:25.287 --> 12:36.379
[SPEAKER_01]: He said that he did a Q&A after where he was like, I called AMC's myself to get this program into theater across the country so that I can tour it.

12:36.399 --> 12:40.963
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's like, my thing is he's like, the Kickstarter people haven't even seen it yet.

12:41.784 --> 12:50.466
[SPEAKER_01]: Because once this goes on VOD, it gets, um, it gets, uh, bootlegged and I lose control and I lose the ability to make money on it.

12:50.566 --> 13:03.670
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm trying to make back a little now, as much as I can, and then we'll go from there, touring a movie is like an interesting concept.

13:04.750 --> 13:09.271
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and I think Nirvana, the band did it, too, with the movie.

13:10.994 --> 13:37.127
[SPEAKER_01]: like before we before it got to us right before it got distribution properly they towards the movie oh okay um like after the film festival before the real disturbing distribution I'm pretty sure also the the other movie I saw this week with a Q&A with Will Polter which is truly the opposite vibe union county they're also touring that movie right now oh okay so I I don't know actually

13:38.848 --> 13:40.869
[SPEAKER_01]: We got it, get it, and executive on the show.

13:41.849 --> 13:43.950
[SPEAKER_00]: Did tell us why they drew some of these things.

13:45.791 --> 13:52.973
[SPEAKER_01]: Cause I, with the Union County, I don't know if that's like, an awards push, right something.

13:53.894 --> 13:59.036
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, not that there's like, I don't know how many awards voters are in Chicago, but I'm sure some of them are.

13:59.376 --> 14:01.016
[SPEAKER_01]: Some of them are a few.

14:03.037 --> 14:08.019
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure that's why they schlept will pull to out of here from, whatever bog he lives on in England.

14:09.033 --> 14:13.494
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, is he in the bear?

14:13.514 --> 14:16.515
[SPEAKER_00]: I have no idea.

14:17.135 --> 14:18.555
[SPEAKER_00]: I watched the bear.

14:18.895 --> 14:19.335
[SPEAKER_00]: Same.

14:19.355 --> 14:21.476
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry to my friends that are in the bear.

14:22.436 --> 14:23.996
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he might be in it.

14:24.016 --> 14:26.817
[SPEAKER_00]: So he probably spends a lot of time in Chicago.

14:27.517 --> 14:32.678
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he did say love Chicago, but to be honest, anybody on stage says they love Chicago when they're in Chicago?

14:33.311 --> 14:49.050
[SPEAKER_01]: yeah and it's like who knows who knows what the truth is but a lot of people do love Chicago so you know it's impossible to say who's lying and who's being that is true genuine squeezy jibs did a funny thing where he came out and tried to do a little like

14:50.560 --> 14:57.162
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, here's my day in the city type of like stand up warm up stuff, you know, and he's like, oh, you know, I love Chicago.

14:57.262 --> 14:58.262
[SPEAKER_01]: It's in my favorite cities.

14:58.622 --> 15:01.563
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's like, the food here is unmatched.

15:01.583 --> 15:04.043
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's like, I had the best Italian beef.

15:04.303 --> 15:10.945
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was at the Circle K at this, like, and it was like he was talking about like a gas station having the best food.

15:11.505 --> 15:13.905
[SPEAKER_01]: And I thought to myself, oh, is this character just him?

15:21.387 --> 15:23.268
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah, very funny.

15:23.288 --> 15:26.930
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a few lines in that movie that I'll be quoting with Alex for a long time.

15:26.950 --> 15:27.470
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you?

15:27.570 --> 15:28.090
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

15:28.570 --> 15:28.931
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

15:29.151 --> 15:30.251
[SPEAKER_00]: That's high praise.

15:30.591 --> 15:31.031
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

15:32.432 --> 15:35.413
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, you want to move on to Resident Evil?

15:36.254 --> 15:38.174
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's scary.

15:40.167 --> 15:43.829
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, shout out to Alyssa, was that her name?

15:44.769 --> 15:46.510
[SPEAKER_01]: You sent me a screenshot of the message.

15:46.710 --> 15:48.451
[SPEAKER_01]: Alyssa, I'm never on the Instagram.

15:48.491 --> 15:49.472
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm always, I'm a link.

15:49.612 --> 16:00.517
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't have my phone next to me, but I think I'll pull it up because I want to shout her out properly because she gave us a note that frankly was very smart.

16:00.677 --> 16:03.999
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's Alyssa, Alyssa, I think.

16:05.139 --> 16:07.621
[SPEAKER_01]: Alyssa suggested that maybe we should do a little

16:08.781 --> 16:16.872
[SPEAKER_01]: Synopsis plot synopsis of the movie because some people are listening without watching the movies because they have no intent of watching the movie either way.

16:17.052 --> 16:22.299
[SPEAKER_01]: So We will now proceed with doing that every time

16:23.920 --> 16:29.144
[SPEAKER_00]: Look, maybe we'll try out a few different ways of doing that and see what works.

16:29.224 --> 16:32.807
[SPEAKER_00]: But today, we're doing like book report style.

16:33.307 --> 16:33.947
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.

16:37.650 --> 16:40.332
[SPEAKER_01]: I would like to go first, I feel like I just talked for a long time.

16:40.692 --> 16:41.513
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, sure.

16:42.053 --> 16:42.474
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

16:43.855 --> 16:47.797
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, we're each going to give our synopsis of

16:48.972 --> 16:49.873
[SPEAKER_00]: Resident evil.

16:50.413 --> 16:55.976
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, did you write one or are you just off the dome doing it in your brain off the dome?

16:56.616 --> 17:03.120
[SPEAKER_00]: This is gonna be so bad No, no, I I was thinking I was thinking about it.

17:03.140 --> 17:03.320
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

17:03.480 --> 17:03.780
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

17:03.920 --> 17:17.047
[SPEAKER_00]: I love thinking okay go on um Okay, so A medical career which I Don't know if like is that really how they transport

17:18.855 --> 17:19.635
[SPEAKER_00]: organs and stuff?

17:19.655 --> 17:20.596
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

17:20.676 --> 17:21.336
[SPEAKER_01]: I think sometimes.

17:21.376 --> 17:22.337
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

17:22.357 --> 17:23.537
[SPEAKER_01]: That's definitely a real job.

17:24.578 --> 17:25.678
[SPEAKER_00]: That is so interesting to me.

17:25.858 --> 17:26.579
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, okay.

17:26.599 --> 17:42.626
[SPEAKER_00]: So a medical career who is Austin Abrams is about to get off shift and then he's offered a job that pays double to take a very important cooler to Raccoon City, which is far.

17:43.167 --> 17:44.027
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's in the winter.

17:48.409 --> 17:57.195
[SPEAKER_00]: And then that sets forth a chain of events where the woman is weird, and then there's a cop, and then he...

18:00.863 --> 18:25.693
[SPEAKER_00]: accidentally shoots his own car with bullets because the woman is attacking him after attacking the cop and so then he ends up in a farmhouse and that's when he realizes that something really fucked up is going on and there's like zombies and he's like oh no and um

18:27.073 --> 18:50.520
[SPEAKER_00]: So then he ends up in the city, he finds out that the umbrella corporation has accidentally unleashed some sort of virus that turns people into these like monsters, and it's really fast moving and his cooler

18:51.800 --> 19:03.863
[SPEAKER_00]: Unbeknownst to him has the neutralizer base that they need to make the cure, which there are scientists at the top floor of the hospital.

19:04.203 --> 19:12.766
[SPEAKER_00]: And so the whole thing is like he needs to get to the top floor of this hospital in Raccoon City, which has become completely overcome with these monsters.

19:14.666 --> 19:26.132
[SPEAKER_00]: and he gets bit at one point and then in the end, he turns into a monster himself.

19:29.742 --> 19:34.864
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, and we are the monsters all alone, that was good.

19:35.004 --> 19:54.331
[SPEAKER_01]: It's so funny that the way we approached this is so illustrative of how we approach stuff and how intense we can or can't be because I You're so good at like I can't I had I spent like 45 minutes writing my fourth paragraph a little like

19:55.751 --> 19:57.892
[SPEAKER_00]: And ultimately yours will be better.

19:58.733 --> 20:04.156
[SPEAKER_01]: No, because I think I was listening to you going, like, oh yeah, I don't even mention umbrella corporation.

20:04.196 --> 20:04.897
[SPEAKER_01]: Does that matter?

20:04.997 --> 20:05.397
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

20:05.417 --> 20:07.859
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, here's mine.

20:08.699 --> 20:09.240
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm reading it.

20:09.320 --> 20:12.442
[SPEAKER_01]: So if I sound weird, that's why.

20:12.462 --> 20:15.584
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not good at this.

20:17.925 --> 20:19.947
[SPEAKER_01]: got me in trouble, a lot in radio.

20:20.327 --> 20:26.513
[SPEAKER_01]: OK. Resident Evil by Zach Krieger follows Brian, a medical choreo you're played by Austin Abrams.

20:27.053 --> 20:34.860
[SPEAKER_01]: Brian's about to make his last delivery of the night and go home to finish a mysterious discussion with his girlfriend about her recently discovered pregnancy.

20:35.461 --> 20:42.046
[SPEAKER_01]: As he's ready to leave the hospital, offers him one more transport for the night and this one pays double, a transport to raccoon city.

20:42.927 --> 20:49.074
[SPEAKER_01]: His journey to Raccoon City General gets interrupted when he hits a woman with his car on an isolated country road during a snowstorm.

20:50.015 --> 20:59.986
[SPEAKER_01]: He learns there's something strange about the woman and begins following a thread that leads him to a series of escalatingly insane situations with the infected human beings and animals alike.

21:01.067 --> 21:15.802
[SPEAKER_01]: He embarks on a race for his own survival after being bitten by an infected girl and meets a cast of short-lived characters that include Cali Reese's Maxine and Paul Walter Houser's Paul, among others, love when a character is just their name.

21:18.885 --> 21:24.509
[SPEAKER_01]: Paul informs him that what he's actually carrying is the last ingredient to the cure for the infection and slowly taking him over.

21:24.969 --> 21:34.275
[SPEAKER_01]: So as he races to the top floor of Raccoon City general, he's slowly overcome by the infection as Zach Cherry and his team of scientists race to create the cure.

21:35.295 --> 21:43.561
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's too late, Brian becomes a terrifying catamari of human limbs as he consumes the scientists won by one and breaks out of the building as we see the National Guard

21:46.555 --> 21:48.077
[SPEAKER_01]: Now that was a synopsis.

21:49.159 --> 21:52.964
[SPEAKER_00]: Now that was a synopsis.

21:53.906 --> 21:56.830
[SPEAKER_01]: Emily, did you enjoy Resident Evil by Zach Krieger?

21:57.811 --> 21:59.674
[SPEAKER_00]: I did, I thought it was...

22:00.761 --> 22:01.081
[SPEAKER_00]: fun.

22:01.481 --> 22:02.882
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought I did, I did like it.

22:02.962 --> 22:03.622
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you like it?

22:04.323 --> 22:05.083
[SPEAKER_00]: I loved it.

22:05.443 --> 22:10.125
[SPEAKER_00]: Have you ever, I was purposely waiting to ask you this until the pod?

22:11.446 --> 22:13.887
[SPEAKER_00]: Have you played the games ever?

22:14.747 --> 22:15.307
[SPEAKER_01]: Not once.

22:15.447 --> 22:17.688
[SPEAKER_01]: I've never watched someone play them.

22:18.149 --> 22:27.733
[SPEAKER_01]: I saw the movies in real time as they came out and I think I didn't play them because when they were coming out when I was younger,

22:28.713 --> 22:43.428
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they were I want to I Sony right so I think they were PlayStation games and when I was a kid I didn't have a PlayStation so um so I never really I played Silent Hill which I think is sort of like a kind of equivalent

22:44.329 --> 22:52.496
[SPEAKER_01]: but for whatever systems I was on, which I don't even remember, maybe Sega or Xbox, but anyway, no, I never played them.

22:52.556 --> 23:04.007
[SPEAKER_01]: So any awareness I had of like the characters or the lore of this world are from the movies, and then maybe just hearing other people who like games talk about the games.

23:04.787 --> 23:22.475
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I realized as during the rollout of this movie I was like gosh, I've always like heard the resident evil But I really as I had no idea of what resident evil was about I knew it was a game I knew they were movies, but I'd never seen any of the movies

23:23.575 --> 23:28.118
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm unfortunately not a gamer girl, so I've never played.

23:28.319 --> 23:29.699
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.

23:30.180 --> 23:35.183
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was like, and then I was like, wait, they're about like zombies?

23:35.824 --> 23:43.969
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so I just, I could not have less context for this world.

23:44.490 --> 23:44.810
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

23:45.190 --> 23:45.831
[SPEAKER_00]: And, um,

23:47.688 --> 23:50.291
[SPEAKER_00]: It's seen, I did before seeing it.

23:50.491 --> 23:52.173
[SPEAKER_00]: It ended up not mattering at all.

23:53.535 --> 24:02.064
[SPEAKER_00]: I Googled Resident Evil War, and I found this big timeline of all the lore from like the games.

24:02.925 --> 24:21.683
[SPEAKER_00]: I would say skimmed it because I did get confused quite quickly, but I, yeah, I ended up not mattering even a little bit, but have you seen that people who like love the game are not liking the movie?

24:22.904 --> 24:25.806
[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't seen anything this weekend, I saw, I

24:26.946 --> 24:40.101
[SPEAKER_01]: Like a couple of, so I think they showed maybe a little bit of the movie at Cinematon early in the year, and I remember, like, I think that Craig or did some like early press about it where he said,

24:41.664 --> 24:46.791
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not like Leon isn't in the movie or whatever, like the main character from the games.

24:48.393 --> 24:53.139
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm making a movie that takes place in the world, but isn't about the characters.

24:53.239 --> 24:58.305
[SPEAKER_01]: And I know that diehard fans of the games were furious, right?

24:58.585 --> 24:58.966
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

24:59.587 --> 24:59.847
[SPEAKER_01]: And...

25:00.988 --> 25:15.637
[SPEAKER_01]: I also I followed that a little bit like I followed where he then said like hey by the way I'm never fucking doing an IP movie again this sucks and then and I also followed when he was like He kind of walked it back.

25:15.777 --> 25:23.121
[SPEAKER_01]: I think in an incredibly graceful way because what he ended up saying was like listen if I loved a book

25:24.222 --> 25:31.528
[SPEAKER_01]: And someone said they were making a movie of the book, and then they said, but none of the characters from the book are gonna be in the movie, but it is the same name.

25:32.408 --> 25:33.089
[SPEAKER_01]: I would be bad.

25:33.169 --> 25:35.791
[SPEAKER_01]: So I fully understand where everyone's coming from.

25:35.811 --> 25:42.916
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I made a really, he's like, what I wanted to adapt was the experience of playing the game.

25:44.217 --> 25:49.781
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I hope that you guys will give it a chance anyway, and if you won't, that's also fine.

25:52.203 --> 26:03.111
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's funny because I suspect that, like, I've never had interest in seeing any of like the other resident evil movies, you know?

26:03.331 --> 26:03.571
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

26:03.671 --> 26:07.314
[SPEAKER_00]: I suspect that if this were a resident evil movie where it's like,

26:10.396 --> 26:21.828
[SPEAKER_00]: a badass character, fighting, I would not have liked that if it was like a more actiony movie, whereas like I did think this was super fun.

26:23.093 --> 26:37.128
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I, like, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like the original resident evil movies because that is what the vibe is like, and I don't really even remember if like the characters from the game are the character in the movie.

26:39.631 --> 26:40.111
[SPEAKER_01]: I really don't.

26:40.211 --> 26:44.636
[SPEAKER_01]: I, like, those movies really had no effect on it at all, but it is sort of just like,

26:46.752 --> 27:03.549
[SPEAKER_01]: It's I fully I fully understand the feeling of if you love a piece of media so much like the way I loved the last of us and and lots of people did and then we're mad about the way it was Adapted in the second season

27:06.428 --> 27:29.497
[SPEAKER_01]: I really do get that sentiment because games, it sucks because gamers I think really embarrassed themselves online and are just so completely uncool and it's like, you know, I see these situations and I'm like, I just want to distance myself from that awareness of that hobby at all because it's so embarrassing the way they act, but in a compassionate

27:37.627 --> 27:48.949
[SPEAKER_01]: It more than anything else really convinces your brain that you are experiencing this story, because you're making the decisions, and you're pushing the button, and you're doing the thing.

27:49.429 --> 28:00.331
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's that element, and then like a story, like the last of us is what, like eight episodes, I think the first season, so that story takes place over eight hours.

28:00.751 --> 28:03.692
[SPEAKER_00]: It takes you 100 hours to do that, right?

28:06.692 --> 28:12.277
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and the decisions feel so powerful to you, like as you're doing it.

28:12.717 --> 28:13.738
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's not everybody.

28:13.758 --> 28:28.651
[SPEAKER_01]: Some people are not that emotional about it, but I think if you're particularly interested in narrative media and then you get really sucked in to stuff like that, I get how this then becomes a heightened thing where you're incredibly sensitive about that.

28:29.012 --> 28:29.292
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.

28:30.433 --> 28:31.414
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't know

28:32.955 --> 28:39.239
[SPEAKER_01]: how emotionally resident, resident, the resident evil games are.

28:39.839 --> 28:45.642
[SPEAKER_01]: But I have to imagine, since there are so many of them, that like the connection is very intense.

28:46.023 --> 28:55.228
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I think that Craigard did a literally perfect job of replicating the experience of playing a game.

28:56.223 --> 29:10.703
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like I could see that even if someone who doesn't play games, like, yeah, it, it, it, yeah, it really was like, okay, the kind of guy who plays these games, what if you were just in that situation.

29:10.723 --> 29:13.087
[SPEAKER_00]: And, but then it's like,

29:15.533 --> 29:28.185
[SPEAKER_00]: all these things that would be happening in the game when you're watching it happen to like a real human, you're like, oh yeah, that is so scary.

29:28.505 --> 29:30.627
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, yeah.

29:30.687 --> 29:31.108
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

29:32.609 --> 29:33.190
[SPEAKER_01]: definitely.

29:33.290 --> 29:41.158
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, and I think some of the things that really helped it feel like exactly how it feels to play a game.

29:41.558 --> 29:56.152
[SPEAKER_01]: Outside of the things, like I think that I think the first person shots were like very cute with the gun, and it's like that's cute when it does that, but actually what I think is more impressive is that they had this like steadfast dedication to

29:58.602 --> 30:03.264
[SPEAKER_01]: completely being in Brian's perspective.

30:03.564 --> 30:07.466
[SPEAKER_01]: So you were never ahead of him in the story, right?

30:07.506 --> 30:10.907
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you were learning things in real time with him.

30:10.967 --> 30:16.350
[SPEAKER_01]: And actually, I noticed that essentially the whole movie is, you experienced it in real time.

30:16.370 --> 30:19.071
[SPEAKER_01]: Like there's no big time jumps.

30:19.171 --> 30:22.913
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just like, yeah, no, that's you have 90 minutes with this guy.

30:22.993 --> 30:23.313
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

30:26.194 --> 30:38.662
[SPEAKER_00]: I really liked all the shots where the camera just swings wildly to like, you know, where he's looking, like to.

30:38.702 --> 30:39.863
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

30:39.883 --> 30:50.950
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, as even as someone who doesn't game, I thought it was very cute because I know that this is a game thing.

30:53.360 --> 31:01.442
[SPEAKER_00]: And everything he had to do, there were just so many little, like, uh, I'm sure there's a name for it.

31:01.462 --> 31:06.663
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, mini, like, it was like, oh, you have to do like, yeah, like you have to do this thing.

31:06.703 --> 31:13.025
[SPEAKER_00]: But oh, wolf sees you have to do three things before you can do this thing somehow.

31:14.565 --> 31:23.798
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and like games typically will try to frustrate you a little bit and like make you figure stuff out.

31:23.858 --> 31:30.207
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I also will say that the resident evil games are like a really specific sub genre within first person shooter, which is survival horror.

31:31.268 --> 31:35.572
[SPEAKER_01]: which the whole idea is that it's your extremely low resource.

31:35.812 --> 31:45.159
[SPEAKER_01]: So you have to actually be careful about like when you're using bullets or like what, you know, and you have to, you do have to open every drawer and like look above everything.

31:45.980 --> 31:49.763
[SPEAKER_01]: And that has happened in other video game adaptations before, but it is really fun.

31:50.743 --> 31:52.565
[SPEAKER_01]: It was played in this movie.

31:54.147 --> 32:00.082
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I like that it like it gave you those moments of like frustration for him with him.

32:00.102 --> 32:01.827
[SPEAKER_01]: I also liked that.

32:03.470 --> 32:22.777
[SPEAKER_01]: his reaction to stuff when he would kill a big guy when he's like yeah like that is how you're reacting when you're playing a game and you fight a boss that's hard right you like a lot of the stuff he was saying to himself is stuff I've said to myself on the couch.

32:23.398 --> 32:26.399
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and it's really like

32:28.668 --> 32:44.556
[SPEAKER_00]: he really has to carry this whole movie like he is alone most of the time I love Austin Abrams I won what were you familiar with him from um you for ya okay um

32:47.002 --> 33:10.219
[SPEAKER_00]: This, this really cute Netflix thing called Dash and Lily or the hand dash, it's, I guess it's like, you know, a, a novel adaptation, but I've like rewatched it various Christmas's because it's like very cute, um, this one other Netflix movie weapons of course,

33:12.500 --> 33:16.204
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like a few other things, but yeah, I really like him.

33:16.284 --> 33:16.725
[SPEAKER_00]: I won.

33:16.845 --> 33:19.368
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he is so fucking cute.

33:19.388 --> 33:28.037
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I just think he's a real little hotty, but also he's like he's a really good actor.

33:30.035 --> 33:32.996
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he is like incredibly talented.

33:33.497 --> 33:39.119
[SPEAKER_01]: I, I really liked him in weapons, but I don't know, I did not draw the line from that person.

33:39.159 --> 33:40.980
[SPEAKER_01]: I saw in weapons to this person I was seeing.

33:41.000 --> 33:41.960
[SPEAKER_00]: He looked really different.

33:42.000 --> 33:44.321
[SPEAKER_00]: He's so good in weapons and similar.

33:45.041 --> 33:56.426
[SPEAKER_00]: He's, he's very good at like mumbling to himself on screen because in weapons too, he's alone just kind of talking to himself a lot of his screen time in weapons.

33:56.446 --> 33:56.787
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

33:58.149 --> 34:01.590
[SPEAKER_00]: He's really good at making that interesting.

34:02.816 --> 34:06.117
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and sort of like charming.

34:06.497 --> 34:07.398
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.

34:07.438 --> 34:10.479
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's interesting to watch that man talk to himself all day.

34:11.099 --> 34:22.864
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's funny that he's like a skinny little addict of some sort in weapons, and you're still kind of like rooting for this guy.

34:25.204 --> 34:29.106
[SPEAKER_01]: And in this movie, the character of Brian

34:30.747 --> 34:49.669
[SPEAKER_01]: they did such funny stuff with him like right in the beginning like they definitely show that he's like kind of not reacting right to his girlfriend's pregnancy and that he is like forging documents like he's kind of like doing stuff that's like you're ethically sort of being like uh oh

34:50.610 --> 35:10.097
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, but then he's also like incredibly sweet and like a good guy like and he cares so much about Having hit this woman with his car, which of course he should but like Based on the other things you see him do right before that you don't you you don't know that that's what he's gonna do And then he's like incredibly honest with the cop.

35:10.337 --> 35:10.797
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah

35:11.857 --> 35:34.865
[SPEAKER_00]: and sweet and like his sweetness also is what gets in you know spoilers killed in the end Yeah, which is that he tried to be tender to that little girl yeah yeah he's um I And then there's like the it's with the little girl where it's like he's clearly so not

35:35.903 --> 35:45.134
[SPEAKER_00]: That his natural instinct is to not get involved in all that, but he is like a nice guy.

35:45.154 --> 35:47.336
[SPEAKER_00]: I, yeah.

35:47.656 --> 35:51.341
[SPEAKER_00]: He did tell me a little funny things too, like when she's like,

35:52.638 --> 36:17.557
[SPEAKER_01]: want some to pick her up and win that first lady keeps trying to like touch his face and he's just like she keeps doing that I'm like the so that I've that whole first sequence with the lady and the cop car like I don't feel like I've seen that before in a movie like it was so it reminded me of Sean of the dead of course a little bit a little bit of like

36:18.778 --> 36:34.550
[SPEAKER_01]: Interacting with zombies, but don't realize that that's what they are, you know, because an average person in the real world wouldn't That's not what you'd go to Yeah, and The comedy of those scenes were so, so funny.

36:34.770 --> 36:40.195
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they're like both him and the cop helping this lady She keeps trying to touch his face.

36:40.315 --> 36:43.197
[SPEAKER_00]: See, you see that that cragger was like

36:44.775 --> 36:53.601
[SPEAKER_00]: after some test screenings, I cut 90% of the jokes, and it's like, what the fuck was this movie before me?

36:53.621 --> 36:56.163
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, yes, that's crazy.

36:56.183 --> 37:02.427
[SPEAKER_00]: Like every other line is still like a joke or a bit, or something, like, what are you talking about?

37:02.467 --> 37:04.829
[SPEAKER_00]: You cut 90% of the jokes.

37:04.929 --> 37:10.493
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, well, and like, I think whatever he did, it's smart, because, oh, yeah.

37:11.681 --> 37:17.613
[SPEAKER_01]: I do think if it was funnier, it would be harder to take the horror that seriously.

37:17.633 --> 37:18.014
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree.

37:19.905 --> 37:28.653
[SPEAKER_01]: And this really threaded an impossible needle so well because it balanced the horror and the comedy and the video gameiness.

37:29.254 --> 37:44.088
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's just like, I think a lot of people have tried a resident evil, they like IP owners, better be thinking they're lucky fucking stars that he wanted to do this, that he got, do you do you know the backstory of him getting this?

37:46.502 --> 37:49.645
[SPEAKER_01]: Barbarian wasn't even out yet, really.

37:50.046 --> 37:58.234
[SPEAKER_01]: And he pitched, he, you know, his like producing partner asked him like, is there any IP like dream IP that you would do?

37:58.874 --> 38:00.176
[SPEAKER_01]: And he was like resident evil.

38:00.536 --> 38:02.177
[SPEAKER_01]: Then he was like, well, write something for it.

38:02.618 --> 38:04.580
[SPEAKER_01]: And so he wrote a treatment.

38:05.894 --> 38:12.217
[SPEAKER_01]: He pitched it to Konstantin Films, which is the German company that owns the IP to resume evil for some reason.

38:14.078 --> 38:16.279
[SPEAKER_01]: And they were like, yeah, sounds great, go for it.

38:16.519 --> 38:33.687
[SPEAKER_01]: And they got production partners together and made this, but he essentially sold this before he was a feature film director and considered the greatest new voice in horror cinema.

38:34.007 --> 38:48.759
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, that, here's, I've been trying to like figure out how to say this without it coming off as like rude because I don't mean it that way, but okay, this, so I, I liked this movie to be clear.

38:48.779 --> 38:58.667
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I enjoyed this movie, um, a lot, but in a way like watching it, it almost,

39:00.985 --> 39:02.848
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't mean this is an insult.

39:03.089 --> 39:04.111
[SPEAKER_00]: I liked it.

39:05.253 --> 39:08.840
[SPEAKER_00]: It almost feels like less of a movie than his other movies.

39:09.300 --> 39:10.923
[SPEAKER_00]: Like where it's almost like.

39:11.444 --> 39:13.108
[SPEAKER_00]: It feels like a little side.

39:15.071 --> 39:16.212
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's by design.

39:16.512 --> 39:22.034
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, okay, because it's like, I'm like, okay, I keep having your mind myself.

39:22.054 --> 39:28.377
[SPEAKER_00]: Like this is just a full real movie, because it's like, it just feels like a little side thing.

39:28.457 --> 39:32.659
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it doesn't feel like as real of a movie as his other movies.

39:34.159 --> 39:41.923
[SPEAKER_01]: So like, yeah, I definitely, he, I don't remember where I heard him say this, but I heard him say in an interview, you know, people were like,

39:43.785 --> 40:12.045
[SPEAKER_01]: When he was doing the press tour for weapons and he's doing a lot of interviews, I listened to those and he's like Yeah, my next movie is going to be Resident Evil and people are like why the fuck are you doing some IP bullshit And he's like, I just wanted to turn my brain off for one of these like Make something that I think is cool, but like this is not and I sort of appreciate this about it with that in mind

40:13.046 --> 40:35.351
[SPEAKER_01]: doesn't it like about something this is like not like so the meditation on any kind of feeling or or anything to be that concerned with it's just like this is a good time and it's a road trip get from point A to point B yeah like there's no depth to it yeah it's just sort of like it's just for watching yeah it's just your watching stuff happen um

40:36.811 --> 40:43.053
[SPEAKER_00]: For sure, my favorite part, and I think this is a pretty widely held opinion by people who are seeing it.

40:43.413 --> 40:48.254
[SPEAKER_00]: My favorite part was for sure before they got into the city, was all that stuff.

40:48.815 --> 40:57.037
[SPEAKER_00]: The roads, the house, the tunnel, like, maybe because those parts were like the...

40:58.498 --> 41:20.354
[SPEAKER_00]: the most horrory because it's you're just kind of like oh what's around the corner like I thought the house scene all all the house stuff was very effective at building tension yeah and then that one jumpscare was really good yeah I mean of course Alex and I hated it at that part

41:21.750 --> 41:22.250
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't.

41:23.131 --> 41:24.091
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't make me jump.

41:24.191 --> 41:25.052
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to.

41:27.353 --> 41:29.994
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I thought the house stuff was really well done.

41:30.114 --> 41:39.058
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought the car, the the cop car, and then this sort of like chase around the car, the using the gun for the first time.

41:39.098 --> 41:46.101
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought that stuff built tension really, really well and was like really, also just seeing, I was really struck by like

41:47.241 --> 41:56.147
[SPEAKER_01]: how scary it is to see a cop car crash ahead of you completely silently in the snow.

41:56.167 --> 42:03.992
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like that just was like very chilling to be like you have to follow this guy and then you just see the light flipping.

42:05.033 --> 42:10.479
[SPEAKER_01]: I was really impressed by how chilling that was, and then also genuinely how funny it was that he shot his own car.

42:10.499 --> 42:12.061
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

42:12.241 --> 42:13.402
[SPEAKER_01]: That's just so funny.

42:14.303 --> 42:17.206
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, the dog stuff was scary.

42:17.226 --> 42:18.868
[SPEAKER_01]: I knew that dog was weird.

42:20.229 --> 42:21.751
[SPEAKER_00]: I see him immediately.

42:21.811 --> 42:25.174
[SPEAKER_00]: I did it because I was like, I don't know what.

42:25.695 --> 42:27.436
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I thought,

42:29.474 --> 42:31.496
[SPEAKER_00]: they were just straight forward zombies.

42:31.516 --> 42:46.126
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't know that they were like these like fucked up monster things Yeah, so that did take me vice or prize and then when when the the couple in the house when the 10 o'clockly things start like

42:48.127 --> 42:51.868
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, okay, and his line there is, oh, interesting.

42:53.689 --> 42:57.070
[SPEAKER_01]: I was the funniest part of the movie.

42:57.170 --> 43:04.973
[SPEAKER_00]: I really liked all the, and I don't know how much of this was taken just directly from the games or whatever.

43:05.433 --> 43:08.854
[SPEAKER_00]: But I really liked all the character design.

43:08.954 --> 43:12.476
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought everything was a really fun level of gross.

43:13.736 --> 43:20.619
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that stuff, I don't know for sure, because again, I haven't played or even watched, I was going to watch a play through this morning, but I kind of ran out of time.

43:22.820 --> 43:26.622
[SPEAKER_01]: I would assume that that stuff is lifted straight from, yes, and evil too.

43:27.903 --> 43:31.424
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think I knew that there were evil dogs in the game, maybe.

43:31.444 --> 43:35.706
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it has fucked up when a game makes you kill a dog.

43:38.088 --> 43:42.170
[SPEAKER_01]: And I will say, the last of us, too, does that a lot?

43:42.190 --> 43:43.771
[SPEAKER_01]: A lot?

43:44.492 --> 43:45.292
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

43:45.472 --> 43:55.059
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's in a really fucked up way, because, at least, in resident evil, from what I can tell, the dogs are, you know, weird monsters and cute stuff.

43:57.020 --> 44:05.066
[SPEAKER_01]: In the last of us too, in the game, they are dogs, they are just dogs, but they will get you killed.

44:05.707 --> 44:13.032
[SPEAKER_01]: So essentially, you do a lot of like climbing through grass to like sneak up on situations.

44:14.373 --> 44:19.537
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's not the zombies you're fighting, it's like an army essentially.

44:20.117 --> 44:25.641
[SPEAKER_01]: And so you're sneaking around and they use dogs to help them hunt and like stay away from the zombies.

44:27.282 --> 44:43.868
[SPEAKER_01]: But the last of us, too, the game very famously does a thing where you play the full game as Ellie, the main character from the first game, and you are just like hating this enemy so much.

44:44.708 --> 45:01.295
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, and you just build and build and you're just like furious at this other girl that you're trying to get to the whole time and then right as you get to her The game cuts to black and then comes back up and it's three days earlier and you have to play as that girl And so you like and this is why I loved the game so much.

45:01.395 --> 45:05.457
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you have this insane emotional experience because you

45:06.497 --> 45:15.461
[SPEAKER_01]: Are so pissed off when you realize you have woken up as her and now you're gonna have to do her story and you're like I don't want to I like hate these people.

45:15.561 --> 45:26.885
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to do this and you're meeting all these characters that as Ellie you have killed already But you went back three days, but so a big part of that is Ellie kills all these dogs

45:29.286 --> 45:34.530
[SPEAKER_01]: And you like meet the dogs by name and I've never experienced anything like it in a game.

45:34.670 --> 45:35.991
[SPEAKER_01]: It was really impressive to me.

45:52.083 --> 45:56.585
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow, the resident evil dog, you know, I think those are just scary monsters.

45:56.945 --> 45:59.446
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's like, yeah, pretty straightforward.

45:59.686 --> 46:02.887
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got to kill this monster dog whose face just opened up.

46:04.147 --> 46:06.808
[SPEAKER_01]: I really liked when they got into the city.

46:08.337 --> 46:15.184
[SPEAKER_01]: I liked the suicide jumpers street, suicide street, whatever it's called.

46:16.545 --> 46:22.270
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought that was so cool, and that whole sequence was so cool.

46:22.931 --> 46:23.752
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that.

46:24.292 --> 46:31.457
[SPEAKER_00]: was all practical, because I saw something that something missed time, and Austin Abrams like almost died.

46:32.558 --> 46:34.299
[SPEAKER_01]: They were 150 pound blood bags.

46:34.319 --> 46:35.960
[SPEAKER_01]: I actually vanity fair.

46:36.380 --> 46:41.524
[SPEAKER_01]: If you look it up, Zach Craig or vanity fair, he does a like anatomy of a scene about that scene.

46:41.544 --> 46:41.604
[SPEAKER_01]: And

46:44.746 --> 46:58.618
[SPEAKER_01]: They had to, yes, he had to, what awesome Abrams had to do was crazy because he had to like run it an exact specific pace and hit marks but marks that couldn't be on the ground because the camera was moving with him.

46:59.319 --> 46:59.939
[SPEAKER_01]: So like,

47:00.740 --> 47:21.714
[SPEAKER_01]: but he had to hit marks at exact times because up above they were dropping 150 pound blood bags like and they were supposed to happen behind him for the most part but yeah one happened like a foot away from him as he was running and I just thought that scene was so exciting and I just felt like I had not seen anything like it.

47:21.774 --> 47:24.636
[SPEAKER_01]: I also like how much stuff was practical like the the

47:29.599 --> 47:30.400
[SPEAKER_01]: was a puppet.

47:30.820 --> 47:31.740
[SPEAKER_01]: Really.

47:32.040 --> 47:32.721
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

47:33.161 --> 47:34.561
[SPEAKER_00]: That was one of the things.

47:34.581 --> 47:36.782
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, eew, in a fun way.

47:37.242 --> 47:41.544
[SPEAKER_00]: Where it's like the rats bursting out was so nasty.

47:41.604 --> 47:43.205
[SPEAKER_00]: So cruel.

47:43.525 --> 47:44.065
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

47:44.365 --> 47:47.587
[SPEAKER_01]: And the baby room, the maternity ward.

47:47.967 --> 47:49.627
[SPEAKER_01]: That was nasty.

47:49.768 --> 47:50.128
[SPEAKER_00]: Good.

47:50.388 --> 47:52.469
[SPEAKER_00]: I loved that.

47:52.549 --> 47:56.050
[SPEAKER_00]: The big, like, sour dough of blood.

47:58.831 --> 48:04.192
[SPEAKER_00]: And the reveal of the baby was so funny.

48:04.212 --> 48:06.052
[SPEAKER_01]: It's really funny.

48:06.552 --> 48:14.034
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I really liked how everything looked because everything could, again, sorry.

48:14.254 --> 48:15.194
[SPEAKER_00]: I've never played the game.

48:15.234 --> 48:21.175
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe this is obvious, but I feel like in something like that where it's like, you're in a city and there's like weird zombie monsters.

48:21.215 --> 48:25.836
[SPEAKER_00]: Things could look so generic where everything ends up just kind of blending together.

48:26.516 --> 48:55.730
[SPEAKER_01]: But instead it's like every new sort of scene you enter there's some new gross Fun element to it Yeah, and I mean, I think that is like video game pacing in general, so I couldn't speak to this game directly, but I think that that's that's usually what it is is like It like levels aren't what they used to be right where it's like Mario and you just are going like okay now it is this level Yeah, now it's like

48:57.548 --> 49:17.918
[SPEAKER_01]: a whole scene renders and you're in a in a certain landscape and you have to cross through some sort of challenge then you then you get a little bit more walking on the other side of it and then you'll you'll usually pass through something that then renders a whole new space and then there's a new challenge but it's like

49:18.798 --> 49:30.463
[SPEAKER_01]: the pacing was in that same way, where it was like, okay, now we've dropped into this space and and the camera is like swinging with him as he like perceives what he has to do.

49:32.364 --> 49:38.046
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's really cool because I also think it's like, I like that you didn't need to know the lore and that

49:39.675 --> 49:54.834
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyone can drop into this movie and be like, oh, okay, this is fun totally and there's like some good body horse stuff like that little that little girl's foot was really nasty and disgusting

49:56.235 --> 49:57.877
[SPEAKER_01]: And upsetting she was so sad.

49:57.897 --> 50:19.416
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that element I liked of it's like that people can see what's happening to their bodies and they don't have any control over it, but they're like, ah, that's always, that always makes, I guess I'm sort of like, are these,

50:20.742 --> 50:22.563
[SPEAKER_00]: Are these zombies or are they monster?

50:22.683 --> 50:28.566
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was a zombie thing, and the lady was zombie-like, but most of it's not zombies.

50:29.587 --> 50:32.849
[SPEAKER_01]: I would say that the better word for them is infected.

50:33.469 --> 50:33.849
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

50:34.470 --> 50:48.457
[SPEAKER_01]: And that like they are infected with some kind of thing, talks in or something from the umbrella corporation, some sort of, and perhaps that what it is

50:51.325 --> 51:20.584
[SPEAKER_01]: this the movie did not say this so this is just me applying video game logic to what what was depicted that like whatever initially got out and created whatever the initial monster was other things from the lab probably got out in the same time because they because of the destruction so like if there was another you know evil noxious gas that turns you into the the acid vomit monster and like some of those got made and like and then it just snowballs from

51:21.124 --> 51:41.586
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because I, I mean, I prefer this because I, I don't know, I, zombies are not, I'm so, I'm very over zombies as a, and I know, there's, there's like last of us, I watch the first season, it's like, that's an interesting.

51:43.771 --> 51:49.879
[SPEAKER_00]: There's lots of interesting like explanations for it and no, I guess I don't know.

51:49.899 --> 51:51.421
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I love the the 28

51:53.150 --> 51:54.091
[SPEAKER_00]: years later.

51:54.111 --> 51:58.395
[SPEAKER_01]: But that's it about this is considered infected as well.

51:58.535 --> 52:06.223
[SPEAKER_01]: It's interesting that I do think there is like, and I think this is maybe has started as something filmmakers just tried to like distinguish themselves with.

52:06.283 --> 52:15.672
[SPEAKER_01]: But I do think there is a different like zombies are a specific thing, right, where people have died and then right come back and are something.

52:16.692 --> 52:25.539
[SPEAKER_01]: And last of us is like exposure to a mushroom and this was exposure to some kind of medicine or something.

52:25.559 --> 52:27.400
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't, what is the deal in 28?

52:27.560 --> 52:29.441
[SPEAKER_01]: It is bytes, right?

52:29.521 --> 52:31.763
[SPEAKER_01]: So it is, that's also an infected movie.

52:32.063 --> 52:39.108
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because then then especially in bone temple, the fact that he can bring people back a little bit.

52:39.708 --> 52:41.410
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and then I remember like in,

52:43.472 --> 52:49.116
[SPEAKER_00]: God, 10,000 years ago during the first season of like the walking dead when I still watched it.

52:49.456 --> 52:52.279
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah, I'm sure that I'm still going somehow.

52:52.339 --> 52:53.159
[SPEAKER_00]: I learned recently.

52:53.940 --> 52:57.643
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah, I still like at the ads for it all the time because I watched stuff when I am so close.

52:57.783 --> 52:58.643
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, damn.

52:59.004 --> 53:00.985
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm getting more engaged.

53:01.205 --> 53:07.430
[SPEAKER_00]: You're filthy that the explanation was something about like it just kills your whole brain, except for like the brain stem.

53:09.031 --> 53:09.451
[SPEAKER_00]: But...

53:10.552 --> 53:19.718
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, like the scariest element is always like, okay, if you, if you still are in there and know what you're doing and have no control over it.

53:20.438 --> 53:20.758
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

53:20.958 --> 53:29.484
[SPEAKER_00]: And with this, it's like, in the, do all these monsters are they still in there somewhere?

53:30.064 --> 53:37.929
[SPEAKER_00]: And their body is just out of their control or at a certain point, does it take over to the degree where it's like, you're not in there anymore.

53:38.818 --> 53:54.306
[SPEAKER_01]: yeah it's hard to tell because also they're making a cure right so something must be in there right but it is like when you become when you become the you know catamari snowball monster of limbs

53:57.029 --> 53:58.730
[SPEAKER_01]: How does that undo itself?

53:59.210 --> 53:59.831
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

54:00.131 --> 54:06.455
[SPEAKER_01]: Just like, logically, I don't know, do the bodies then come out of you.

54:07.755 --> 54:10.157
[SPEAKER_01]: And are they dead and you are alive?

54:11.998 --> 54:14.639
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, you're supposed to ask these logical questions.

54:14.659 --> 54:17.141
[SPEAKER_01]: I think with this, but I was wondering,

54:17.971 --> 54:25.938
[SPEAKER_00]: I did really like how that looked, all the limbs, just rolling around, that was good.

54:26.559 --> 54:30.102
[SPEAKER_00]: I liked the hospital scene too, where he's trying to get to the top.

54:33.068 --> 54:59.072
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that was also the comedy beat of when he cried when he has his emotional moment and then Zach Crager comes over the inner comedy and is like, hey, dude Also, I think Austin Abrams I asked you where you had seen them before because I felt genuinely like I had never seen this man before in my life like an Alex and I were both like

55:00.326 --> 55:01.047
[SPEAKER_00]: Who is this guy?

55:01.087 --> 55:01.847
[SPEAKER_00]: He's great.

55:02.368 --> 55:06.310
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I look him up and I'm like, I guess I saw him in you for you.

55:06.690 --> 55:09.372
[SPEAKER_01]: No impression on me at all.

55:09.472 --> 55:14.136
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think I've seen, like, I haven't seen, I never watched stuff on Netflix, so I haven't seen it.

55:14.336 --> 55:17.678
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, like show and you, and you just didn't recognize it.

55:17.698 --> 55:22.021
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess he does look very different in black and white for this too.

55:22.601 --> 55:26.504
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I would you can see, like pretty clearly, and there's like little face.

55:26.784 --> 55:39.995
[SPEAKER_01]: He looks so cute with his little real face, I kind of like it more, but I was watching, I was watching an interview with both him and Zach Kriger earlier today and it was very funny how little he talks like I just think he's like,

55:41.563 --> 55:44.546
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to listen to, do you know about the A24 podcast?

55:44.786 --> 55:46.787
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just, you know, they need our help.

55:47.008 --> 55:48.929
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to plug the A24 podcast here.

55:49.610 --> 55:52.672
[SPEAKER_01]: A24 podcast does essentially like an interview magazine type thing.

55:52.692 --> 55:54.794
[SPEAKER_01]: Where it'll be like this person talks to this person.

55:54.814 --> 55:58.457
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's Austin Abrams talking to Skyler Gizondo.

55:58.597 --> 56:00.078
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I did say that.

56:00.198 --> 56:01.119
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't listen.

56:01.199 --> 56:04.362
[SPEAKER_00]: I might have to listen because I someone sent it to me.

56:04.802 --> 56:07.564
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, okay, cutify convention.

56:08.826 --> 56:10.127
[SPEAKER_01]: But it is funny that I don't

56:11.138 --> 56:16.756
[SPEAKER_01]: Not at not talking about Skylar Gizando's abilities because I'm sure we'll be talking about it in a lot next week.

56:16.857 --> 56:17.719
[SPEAKER_01]: I hear that he like

56:19.901 --> 56:22.042
[SPEAKER_01]: is stunning in prime time.

56:22.383 --> 56:24.804
[SPEAKER_00]: I love him, I love him so much, I think.

56:24.824 --> 56:28.906
[SPEAKER_01]: But I don't get the feeling that he can disappear into a role.

56:29.106 --> 56:34.410
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, he has such a direct and specific look that I've only ever seen him have.

56:35.050 --> 56:40.933
[SPEAKER_01]: And I've lost Austin Abrams in everything he's in, because I was never tracking him to begin with, I think.

56:41.354 --> 56:46.917
[SPEAKER_01]: But Skylar also has like those cute little freckles, which I do think makes him too remarkable.

56:47.757 --> 57:02.066
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you know what I mean, like I can't use them, but yeah, oh, there's a really good episode of the age 24 podcast from a few years ago that is Alexa Demi from Euphoria interviewing Nathan Fielder.

57:03.267 --> 57:06.809
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow, and it's one of the funniest conversation.

57:11.852 --> 57:13.073
[SPEAKER_01]: It's really, really good.

57:13.093 --> 57:15.894
[SPEAKER_01]: They're both very sincere in the interview, but it's really funny.

57:17.975 --> 57:23.397
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I just felt like I'd never seen him before, but then I was watching this interview with him earlier.

57:24.797 --> 57:26.798
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's, you know, he's lost the way again.

57:26.978 --> 57:29.399
[SPEAKER_01]: And the way he's got his hair is like a little

57:30.199 --> 57:35.083
[SPEAKER_01]: long and it's a little messy and I was like, okay, play Lee Pays' son.

57:35.103 --> 57:37.805
[SPEAKER_01]: Please play Lee Pays' son.

57:37.825 --> 57:42.108
[SPEAKER_01]: You have the same coloring and the same kind of like a hair texture.

57:43.249 --> 57:44.070
[SPEAKER_01]: That would be...

57:45.251 --> 57:48.733
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm slowly building the Lee Pays' Pedro Pascal Boyfriends movie.

57:51.235 --> 57:52.676
[SPEAKER_00]: That's my dream of it out.

57:53.317 --> 57:58.421
[SPEAKER_01]: My dream movie is Pedro Pascal and Lee Pays' our boyfriends and her Scott is their friend.

58:00.150 --> 58:02.032
[SPEAKER_01]: And now, Oster and Abrams is their son.

58:02.652 --> 58:04.593
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just gonna scott his their friend.

58:05.874 --> 58:10.098
[SPEAKER_00]: He just walks in sometimes, it goes, hey guys, how's it going?

58:10.498 --> 58:11.639
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he's their cramer.

58:14.641 --> 58:22.107
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, I mean that movie would hot, hot guy central.

58:22.907 --> 58:25.009
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, hot guy central over there.

58:27.075 --> 58:32.996
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I really have been quite enamored with Austin.

58:33.117 --> 58:36.157
[SPEAKER_00]: It was for some time.

58:36.177 --> 58:39.178
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, well, I'm here with you now and he's great.

58:39.298 --> 58:39.738
[SPEAKER_01]: I love him.

58:40.078 --> 58:41.239
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't wait to see Whaleful.

58:41.279 --> 58:45.540
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I was already kind of excited to see Whaleful, but now I really can't wait and a while.

58:45.560 --> 58:48.960
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, we sure has to carry two huge things in us.

58:49.120 --> 58:50.681
[SPEAKER_00]: But he is so good.

58:50.721 --> 58:54.842
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just being alone, just acting against no one.

58:55.622 --> 59:13.241
[SPEAKER_00]: because he didn't a lot of the scenes where he's there's other people technically they're not people in this movie it's not like they're like they're creatures um i Zach Cherry is also having quite a summer for small little rolls and stuff

59:14.182 --> 59:25.046
[SPEAKER_01]: He always, I feel like he's that every year and that I love to see him carry something a little bit more because I think he's incredibly like charismatic and fun to watch.

59:25.306 --> 59:26.306
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he's severance.

59:26.466 --> 59:27.267
[SPEAKER_00]: He's great.

59:27.827 --> 59:42.432
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was so funny that because his little role in Count Measma in yeah in the movie within the movie I Look, I'm always happy to see him, but I'm like

59:44.266 --> 01:00:02.112
[SPEAKER_00]: The age simply isn't correct, that is an adult man who plays adult man roles and I feel like he was supposed to be like a high school or like college student at most because it was like camp counselor with a bunch of other like teenagers and it's like

01:00:04.012 --> 01:00:15.837
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, you know what I made me think of you know those videos where there's like an adult cat who's trying to sneak milk amongst a liter of kittens who's like trying to like nurse on another adult cat and

01:00:23.180 --> 01:00:24.120
[SPEAKER_01]: that's really funny.

01:00:24.180 --> 01:00:28.522
[SPEAKER_01]: That didn't cross my mind, but it is funny now that you say it.

01:00:29.223 --> 01:00:34.065
[SPEAKER_01]: I sort of witch that the Zach Cherry and Paul Walter Houser characters were switched.

01:00:36.646 --> 01:00:45.750
[SPEAKER_01]: And I guess I think it's because I kind of feel like Paul Walter Houser always plays these characters and Zach Cherry also always plays these characters.

01:00:45.910 --> 01:00:46.270
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

01:00:46.390 --> 01:00:48.371
[SPEAKER_00]: And I would have liked to like flip the

01:00:50.672 --> 01:00:53.654
[SPEAKER_00]: Also Paul Walter has a very good actor.

01:00:53.874 --> 01:01:08.043
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just he is such a fucking weird guy and it's I don't know I don't know no anything about like giving as like in his personal life or like he yeah, he's like oh

01:01:08.223 --> 01:01:13.304
[SPEAKER_00]: hyper-hyper Christian and like conspiracy like human on the brain.

01:01:13.944 --> 01:01:14.825
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I know.

01:01:14.885 --> 01:01:16.805
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, which is funny.

01:01:17.465 --> 01:01:18.245
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's funny.

01:01:18.345 --> 01:01:24.467
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, well, listen, there must be something about him because he's cast frequently enough in roles where it's like, good.

01:01:24.487 --> 01:01:30.388
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, not only that, but like, I mean, I feel like he's cast in stuff that's like seemed like a fun hang on set.

01:01:31.048 --> 01:01:35.089
[SPEAKER_01]: So I get the feeling that he's fun to be around or something.

01:01:35.129 --> 01:01:35.789
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I don't know.

01:01:36.270 --> 01:01:36.790
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the first

01:01:38.690 --> 01:01:53.753
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's like he's he's yeah, he's like super like Super Christian, but it's like he you know was in he did a jackass bit Yeah, I mean lots of people are Christian.

01:01:53.773 --> 01:01:58.534
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't I don't really think that's like a Doesn't mean that you can't be a fun hang.

01:01:58.754 --> 01:01:59.534
[SPEAKER_01]: You know for sure.

01:01:59.574 --> 01:02:01.715
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's just like the demons kind

01:02:02.707 --> 01:02:03.988
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, well, he won't be playing the devil.

01:02:04.008 --> 01:02:19.514
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't do that at all, but I didn't do that at all, but I didn't do that at all, but I didn't do that at all, but I didn't do that at all, but I didn't do that at all, but I didn't do that at all, but I didn't do that at all, but I didn't do that at all, but I didn't do that at all, but I didn't do that at all, but I didn't do that at all, but I didn't do that at all, but I didn't do that at all, but I didn't do that at all, but I didn't do that at all, but I didn't do that at all, but I didn't do that at all, but I didn't do that at all, but I didn't do that at all, but I didn't do that at all, but I didn't do that at all, but I didn't do that at all, but

01:02:20.444 --> 01:02:24.526
[SPEAKER_01]: video game character that pops in and tells you everything that's going on really quickly.

01:02:25.287 --> 01:02:32.191
[SPEAKER_01]: Which is sort of all that was functionally supposed to be, but a couple of his jokes worked the ones where he's like, someone dropped it.

01:02:32.851 --> 01:02:33.972
[SPEAKER_01]: It's really easy to drop it.

01:02:33.992 --> 01:02:34.332
[SPEAKER_01]: Totally.

01:02:34.412 --> 01:02:35.552
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that was fun.

01:02:36.793 --> 01:02:38.234
[SPEAKER_01]: I also really like Kelly Reese.

01:02:38.274 --> 01:02:39.214
[SPEAKER_01]: It was very funny.

01:02:39.515 --> 01:02:43.117
[SPEAKER_01]: One to have her holding a gun in the snow again after night country.

01:02:45.778 --> 01:02:48.440
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like damn we got to get this girl in the tropics.

01:02:48.661 --> 01:02:52.163
[SPEAKER_01]: She can have a gun there too if she wants.

01:02:55.506 --> 01:02:56.867
[SPEAKER_00]: But I don't know why I'm sure.

01:02:58.308 --> 01:03:01.551
[SPEAKER_01]: I did wish for maybe like five more minutes with her.

01:03:01.811 --> 01:03:02.071
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:03:03.953 --> 01:03:04.393
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:03:05.014 --> 01:03:05.394
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:03:05.614 --> 01:03:07.156
[SPEAKER_00]: We get more time with her.

01:03:08.317 --> 01:03:13.120
[SPEAKER_00]: The bottom half of her body than with the actual character.

01:03:15.322 --> 01:03:24.324
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but yeah, I do, I do think I could have watched like a pretty long cut of, like, Paul Walter-Houser and Austin Abrams trying to load that gun.

01:03:24.844 --> 01:03:27.184
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's like, no, you've got to turn it, flip it.

01:03:27.344 --> 01:03:31.985
[SPEAKER_01]: And that was, that was like really well played mild comedy.

01:03:32.145 --> 01:03:34.046
[SPEAKER_01]: That was like a relief in that moment.

01:03:34.366 --> 01:03:38.146
[SPEAKER_00]: I do think this movie was like, the perfect length.

01:03:38.727 --> 01:03:39.547
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, yes.

01:03:39.787 --> 01:03:40.947
[SPEAKER_00]: In that, like, it,

01:03:42.305 --> 01:03:51.243
[SPEAKER_00]: it was 90 minutes including credits so yeah it was it was a short movie but it's like because it is just a fun

01:03:53.155 --> 01:04:17.152
[SPEAKER_00]: sort of just like do do do do do this happens and this happens and this happens and this happens like it shouldn't have been longer it was the correct it was the correct length for a depthless movie where you're just kind of going along this this journey um i really like elevator shaft sequence is generally

01:04:18.518 --> 01:04:20.239
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they can be really exciting.

01:04:20.299 --> 01:04:20.719
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:04:21.339 --> 01:04:25.381
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's sort of, well, it's kind of like the opposite of claustrophobia.

01:04:25.421 --> 01:04:29.103
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, it's sort of scary how endless they are, totally.

01:04:29.123 --> 01:04:34.766
[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, the, for me, the thing that really like,

01:04:35.386 --> 01:04:58.404
[SPEAKER_00]: jumps scared me in a deep way like that made my stomach drop and I thought was so effective was when he almost slips when he's crossing oh yeah that guy bridge thing that was really scary I mean I'm like so fucking scared of heights too I like so it's like anything like that my heart is just like

01:05:00.085 --> 01:05:05.028
[SPEAKER_01]: I wonder if you would have this feeling so when I'm playing a video game it's having me last night because I was playing Big Walk with Alex.

01:05:06.088 --> 01:05:07.069
[SPEAKER_01]: Any Big Walkers out there?

01:05:07.169 --> 01:05:13.132
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, where you can jump in that game you're just like a little rubber ball.

01:05:13.272 --> 01:05:17.934
[SPEAKER_01]: Basically you're like a little rubber person and you're just like solving simple puzzles with for your friends.

01:05:18.574 --> 01:05:27.319
[SPEAKER_01]: So so you can like jump off the top of a building and just kind of you go boo and it like it's like a bird over your head sort of thing and then you get back up.

01:05:28.039 --> 01:05:33.963
[SPEAKER_01]: If I make my character jump from really high, I get a falling feeling in my body.

01:05:34.823 --> 01:05:44.289
[SPEAKER_01]: If I'm watching the screen, like an elf, like, oh, and I wonder if you would have that same experience, or if you would just simply not do that.

01:05:49.303 --> 01:05:49.803
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

01:05:49.883 --> 01:05:53.885
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was just like the POV of it, you know.

01:05:53.905 --> 01:06:02.170
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, and then I liked that in the end he becomes the monster because because this is such like an

01:06:03.938 --> 01:06:21.068
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, not in consequential within the story, because the events of the story lead to their not being a cure, and it's gonna take over the world, but just as a movie is a whole, like it's like, I doubt, I don't know, it's a very self-contained thing.

01:06:21.708 --> 01:06:30.553
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, yeah, why not have our main character turn into a monster at the end.

01:06:31.963 --> 01:06:38.929
[SPEAKER_01]: I will admit that I liked him so much that I was like, oh man, like, when he didn't succeed.

01:06:39.990 --> 01:06:44.433
[SPEAKER_00]: I wanted him to succeed, but then I'm like, I think that's a fun move.

01:06:45.114 --> 01:06:52.920
[SPEAKER_01]: But it was a great last shot of him just as this big monster and the, as the helicopters are coming in.

01:06:53.000 --> 01:06:55.302
[SPEAKER_00]: And it is sad, because it's so close.

01:06:55.402 --> 01:06:58.965
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, oh, he was so close to everything.

01:06:59.005 --> 01:07:00.106
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, okay.

01:07:01.287 --> 01:07:04.008
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and it was so chaotic in the end.

01:07:04.768 --> 01:07:06.229
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's a fine ending.

01:07:06.249 --> 01:07:15.731
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's like a very good kind of like from Craigers perspective, a really good kind of like, get in and get out on the IP.

01:07:16.152 --> 01:07:16.652
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, shit.

01:07:16.792 --> 01:07:18.172
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, okay, I did it.

01:07:18.292 --> 01:07:24.774
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm dipped out like, if you guys make more fine, it's not going to be, it doesn't have to involve me.

01:07:26.275 --> 01:07:26.635
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:07:27.735 --> 01:07:29.496
[SPEAKER_01]: I tied, I tied mine in a bow.

01:07:29.516 --> 01:07:32.556
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, you're welcome for reviving your IP.

01:07:38.318 --> 01:07:41.479
[SPEAKER_01]: Do we, do you have anything else you want to say about the movie?

01:07:44.339 --> 01:07:45.440
[SPEAKER_00]: Not really.

01:07:45.460 --> 01:07:46.340
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's like,

01:07:49.052 --> 01:07:57.500
[SPEAKER_00]: There's just not that much to say about it, because it's a very deptless movie, but it was fun, and I liked it.

01:07:58.681 --> 01:08:01.964
[SPEAKER_01]: It was fun, and I liked it, and that's all that really matters.

01:08:03.546 --> 01:08:13.295
[SPEAKER_00]: It was fun, and I liked it, and I enjoyed it as a non video game person.

01:08:14.313 --> 01:08:18.096
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and that is really the true match that the movie played.

01:08:18.356 --> 01:08:18.576
