JohhnyCAGE: Or like.
JohhnyCAGE: Also, yeah, also like the urge to just like almost like fake drop the baby like as a gag.

JohhnyCAGE: People seem bummed.

Steve-O: yeah
JohhnyCAGE: do you think he loses the baby fat when he becomes an adult

JohhnyCAGE: or he just gets
Steve-O: That makes sense to me.
fux mcclit: But we don't want that.
IGOTTADUMP: That's how I feel. I don't care if you want it, John.
fux mcclit: everybody Everybody thought that they wanted it with Twilight Princess and then they came out with Breath of the Wild. Why would we go backwards? you know Give us Ocarina of Time.
IGOTTADUMP: Because you have to set up the movie. You have to get people used to it.

fux mcclit: Gross.
Steve-O: I mean, it's the Zelda 40th anniversary. so you know, that's why they're doing this. But.

JohhnyCAGE: I kick-started that game.
fux mcclit: And you didn't you don't even like it?
Steve-O: You funded it, yeah. People...
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, I helped fund that fucking game.
fux mcclit: Yeah, and like it's it's you know it's Shovel Knight.
IGOTTADUMP: i lit I lit a tower. It felt really cool. That felt cool.
JohhnyCAGE: I hate those towers, dude. I was getting mad.
fux mcclit: Chris, is it as good as Celeste? Because I'm like i'm like knee-deep in Celeste right now.
IGOTTADUMP: Well, it's tough. Like, Devin is not lying.
fux mcclit: is it Is it harder than Celeste?
IGOTTADUMP: it's Yeah. Like, Celeste, I could beat in a couple of days. this is This takes some time to learn stuff.
JohhnyCAGE: feel like Celeste wants you to win, right? Celeste wants you to beat it.
fux mcclit: Yeah, like, yeah, kind that's like the the Hollow Knight in me is like, please, ew.
JohhnyCAGE: Isn't that like...
Steve-O: You sound kind of bummed by that.
fux mcclit: Like, it's like, it makes me cringe a little bit that it's so, like, uplifting and, like, you know, it's so supportive of you not dying and shit.
Steve-O: yeah
fux mcclit: And I'm just like, dude, like.
IGOTTADUMP: I will say this. There is that Dark Souls-esque-ness to it where you're you're constantly unlocking shortcuts to lead to other places and stuff like that.
JohhnyCAGE: talk about Mina or Celeste?
fux mcclit: Right.
IGOTTADUMP: Mina. Mina the Hollower.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
fux mcclit: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: that That's something that I'm familiar with. So it's it's that stuff I'm picking up pretty quickly.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: um
JohhnyCAGE: I put about seven hours into that game and I still couldn't get comfortable with the the the Halloween timing.
IGOTTADUMP: But yeah, like the dip
JohhnyCAGE: And I was like, this I don't know, man. man this just isnt
IGOTTADUMP: It does take some time. i did get a new weapon, so it kind of did unlock some aspects the game.
JohhnyCAGE: What was your starter?
IGOTTADUMP: got the blaster. Oh, I used the chain mace.
JohhnyCAGE: that's what I did.
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah, chain mace, definitely.
JohhnyCAGE: I got the blaster and I fucking at this point, I'm I'm I'm well, I'm well, like I'm almost one and a half feet out of this game.
fux mcclit: guys are the same person.
JohhnyCAGE: I got the blaster and I was like, I hate this thing.
fux mcclit: Devin is like one layer...
IGOTTADUMP: Oh, I love
fux mcclit: Devin is one layer of thicker skin away from like actually like liking Elden Ring, I think, to be honest.
IGOTTADUMP: He just needs to think it up a little.
fux mcclit: Yeah, you just need to just thicken thicken up a little bit, yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: Callous up.
JohhnyCAGE: No, dude.
Steve-O: I think, well, I think that's like he would hit my level where it's like, I like Elden Ring. I didn't finish Elden Ring, but I appreciate it. I know what it is.
fux mcclit: and Evan couldn't even appreciate it.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, I kind of like, I i was playing Lies of P, right? A game that people are like, this is on, this is like right there with the FromSoft games. And I was like, I i just can't stand the mechanics of these games, dude.
JohhnyCAGE: was like, these are bad.
IGOTTADUMP: I just threw up my mouth.
JohhnyCAGE: I like feel like I'm crazy when I just hear and see all the glaze that these games get. But that's me.
IGOTTADUMP: You are a little crazy.
fux mcclit: What the Dark Souls games or like or or Lazapy?
JohhnyCAGE: Just the Soul Stikes. No, just ah any of them. I'm like, these aren't fun to play. I don't get it. My brain isn't wired the same way.
IGOTTADUMP: I feel like every time I get an advancement in Mina the Hollower, like I'm doing something right.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: like It feels... Every enhancement feels important.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. No, like, yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: That's the, that's where I, that's what I like about it.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: Like it's.
JohhnyCAGE: I had to like clarify my stance a little bit. I'm like, i I objectively know this is a very well-made and good game. It is just not for me. And I kind of was like, I was seven hours in.
IGOTTADUMP: All right.
fux mcclit: man how many times how many times are we going to hear that devon
IGOTTADUMP: I understand.
JohhnyCAGE: do...
Steve-O: Well, hold on. We do also have to keep in mind, this game's got this game's got Zelda DNA in it, too. This is a Link's Awakening slash Dark Souls style game.
IGOTTADUMP: Bitch.
Steve-O: And come on, Devin, you didn't you didn't like Link because he don't jump.
JohhnyCAGE: um i do
Steve-O: He don't jump.
JohhnyCAGE: i I mean, Mina jumps. It's just I hate...
Steve-O: We got jumps.
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah, she jumps.
JohhnyCAGE: I hate the...
IGOTTADUMP: She burrows.
JohhnyCAGE: I really don't like the visual design of the game, to be honest. too Like...
IGOTTADUMP: Ah, man, I like that.
Steve-O: It's a Game Boy.
IGOTTADUMP: and i think it's cool.
Steve-O: It's Game Boy looking.
JohhnyCAGE: No, no, like... like i have Yeah, it's the Game Boy style, and it's it's not... a Again, it's not that the sprites aren't gorgeous.
IGOTTADUMP: I fought a turd, man.
JohhnyCAGE: I just... I have...
IGOTTADUMP: it was great.
JohhnyCAGE: I fought the dirt, man. I have trouble...
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah. Yeah.
Steve-O: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: yeah
JohhnyCAGE: I have trouble with like just visually identifying like where I can go. like is that a thing I can jump? Oh no, that was a, that was a gap. Like that was a ah cliff. Like I just, everything about it.
JohhnyCAGE: And I played the demo a few months ago.
IGOTTADUMP: did you get the You got the bike, right?
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. And I don't like that.
IGOTTADUMP: You could jump those pits with the bike, dog.
JohhnyCAGE: I know, but I don't like that I need it to hold on to the bike. Like, it shouldn't have been... And what we're talking about, basically, like, know, Castlevania, right? Oh, you get the axe, you get the knife, you get that you get the power-ups.
IGOTTADUMP: You have sub-weapons. Sub-weapons.
JohhnyCAGE: And there's a sub-weapon called the bike, and you have to have that, and then hopefully not accidentally pick up another item your entire pathway to where you need the bike.
JohhnyCAGE: And then... Anyway... I don't want to talk about Mina. I don't want to poo-poo on Mina the Holler. I know it's good.
IGOTTADUMP: I'm enjoying it. I am enjoying it.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: So I, I, that's my perspective.
JohhnyCAGE: you know You know what else I was poo-pooing, though? To kind of get a little bit back on track? Dude, that Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer? I was like, this looks fucking awful.
IGOTTADUMP: Oh,
JohhnyCAGE: I think it looks so bad. And I... I refuse. I refuse to admit that this is all... Because that's the code. Oh, no, it's like that on purpose because he's in the...
JohhnyCAGE: the Everworld or what whatever.
Steve-O: He's in the mobile game world or some trash.
JohhnyCAGE: yeah and it's supposed to look like bad.
IGOTTADUMP: Mogarin?
JohhnyCAGE: And I'm like, oh, the combat.
Steve-O: No, mobile game.
JohhnyCAGE: and
IGOTTADUMP: Mobile game?
Steve-O: all the All the Kingdom Hearts mobile games, Chris, that came out.
JohhnyCAGE: He's like,
Steve-O: You know how the Kingdom Hearts games have all been like, oh, every game is important.
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah, absolutely. They have to build that very extensive lore about Goofy.
Steve-O: Yeah. They were like, you have to watch this orchestra performance to understand the story.
IGOTTADUMP: Mickey Mouse.
Steve-O: But
IGOTTADUMP: Of course. How could I forget?
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, he's he's in ah he's in a place called Quadratum.
Steve-O: it just looks like Tokyo.
JohhnyCAGE: it
IGOTTADUMP: ah Of course.
JohhnyCAGE: A sprawling, highly detailed metropolis that mirrors the real world of Shibuya in Tokyo, right? So it's like, it looks gray and lifeless.
IGOTTADUMP: I played that game. It's called The World Is Not Enough.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
Steve-O: it's true Well, that's the thing. they They did have those characters in the Kingdom Hearts games in previous ones.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, but it's just like, dude, it just doesn't look And they showed this like three, four years ago.
IGOTTADUMP: The World Ends With You. Sorry. The World Not Enough is a Bond film.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
Steve-O: Yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: no But dude, like we saw...
fux mcclit: Yeah, that's the Pierce Brosnan movie.
JohhnyCAGE: we saw
IGOTTADUMP: Excuse me.
Steve-O: that's impressive
JohhnyCAGE: like The problem is it's like we saw hints we saw hints of this game like four years ago and that they were in, oh, God, I mean, it's this more realistic game world you know style design.
Steve-O: But it's just the perfect place to start. Yeah.
Steve-O: Yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: And then like four years go by and we see this and it looks like no progress was made. It looks like very little progress was made.
Steve-O: Yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: i was like, it looks bad. It's visually ugly, in my opinion. And I was just so, I was hot, dude.
Steve-O: m
JohhnyCAGE: I was like,
Steve-O: They did themselves such a disservice to by showing off the Kingdom Hearts one, two and three switch to additions before it that are all bright, vibrant and fun.
fux mcclit: Fat Sora. yeah
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. Visually gorgeous, bright and vibrant. and
Steve-O: hmm.
JohhnyCAGE: i'm I'm not against a new ah man. I was just, bumped yeah honestly, the comparison I would make is like, remember Def Jam Icon?
Steve-O: yes Yes, I do, i do Devin.
IGOTTADUMP: Wait, hold on.
JohhnyCAGE: Like, like, ah you went from You went from like Vendetta to Fight for New York.
fux mcclit: That's a deep cut, Devin.
IGOTTADUMP: hold Wait, what?
JohhnyCAGE: So, yeah.
fux mcclit: That's a deep cut.
Steve-O: i would
JohhnyCAGE: So, Chris, if you remember, there was Def Jam Vendetta, right?
IGOTTADUMP: Wait, why is that?
JohhnyCAGE: that It was like a play, like a No Mercy.
IGOTTADUMP: yeah Yes.
JohhnyCAGE: Then there was Def Jam Fight for New York.
IGOTTADUMP: Okay.
JohhnyCAGE: Again, visually colorful and distinct. And then they were like, and then we went from the PS2 to the 360, or Xbox 360.
IGOTTADUMP: I'm in my mind palace right now.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: I'm going through all the deaf band games.
JohhnyCAGE: and then and And then they were like, this guy, this asshole named Kudo Sonoda was like, I've developed Def Jam Icon. And you're like, oh, it's Def Jam 3. And everything is...
IGOTTADUMP: Was that the one with 50 Cent?
JohhnyCAGE: That's the one where that's the one where you would DJ, you would fight, and then you'd fucking...
Steve-O: No, that was 50 Cent Blood on the Sand.
IGOTTADUMP: yeah was
Steve-O: ah
JohhnyCAGE: And and then the fucking stage would break.
Steve-O: Boom.
JohhnyCAGE: And it looked awful. And I was like, is this... This doesn't look good. And I remember I played it and I was like, this is terrible. And it was like such a downgrade.
Steve-O: David, David, David, it's me Kudo.
JohhnyCAGE: I hate you.
Steve-O: It's me Kudo.
JohhnyCAGE: Kudo.
Steve-O: It's been a long time since we talked.
IGOTTADUMP: but
JohhnyCAGE: I know. Wait, wait, hold on.
Steve-O: You remember what the bottom of ah ah an Xbox avatar's foot looks like?
JohhnyCAGE: I do. I do.
Steve-O: I did that.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
Steve-O: i let you see that. And you're coming in, you're saying that the first video game that I ever worked on before I got promoted to the do Kinect was bad?
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: man
Steve-O: You say it's a bad game?
JohhnyCAGE: I'm saying it was it was really bad.
IGOTTADUMP: that's that's that guy holy shit
Steve-O: Well, you know what? I'm an angel from God.
JohhnyCAGE: an angel in this.
IGOTTADUMP: i you know so I doubt that because I think you helped kill Xbox like that was the beginning yeah I love that movie um that's a
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. the people
Steve-O: chris you have Chris, you ever seen Angels in the Outfield? Yes, your favorite movie? Now, you love Christopher Lambert, right? He's in that movie. He's one of the angels.
IGOTTADUMP: Slow down about the love thing. I wouldn't necessarily say I love Christopher Lambert, but you keep can continue your metaphor.
Steve-O: Name three Christopher Lambert movies.
IGOTTADUMP: Mortal Kombat. Highlander.
Steve-O: I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. ah you Back to the Future, Back the Future 2 and Fortress.
fux mcclit: Kung Fu.
Steve-O: Kung Fu, that's one.
IGOTTADUMP: right.
fux mcclit: Kung Fu.
Steve-O: John's an avid fan. Anyway, what I'm here to say is ah I'm starting my new video game company. It's called Mina the Hollower.
JohhnyCAGE: Oh, I knew there was something I didn't like.
IGOTTADUMP: It's called that? That's a game.
Steve-O: Yeah. Yeah. Well, no, I didn't make the game. I just saw what you guys were talking about.
JohhnyCAGE: oh
Steve-O: It sounded fun, so I wanted to steal it.
IGOTTADUMP: ah he's jumping on into the bandwagon.
JohhnyCAGE: hey you want you want to see what the bottom of me to the hollow was for looks like, bam.
Steve-O: but to
IGOTTADUMP: I do.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. Yeah.
Steve-O: Anyway, I got to go.
JohhnyCAGE: um
Steve-O: There's traffic for me to walk in. Bye.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: You know what it is, Devin? um That guy, I hope he died. um But also...
JohhnyCAGE: I legitimately thought he did. i had to do a quick Google search. I was like, but did he pass away?
IGOTTADUMP: But also, um I, you know, I like me the hollower because, you know, you got to give the furry something every once in a while, too, right?
Steve-O: Allegedly.
JohhnyCAGE: Listen, I'm just glad people like it.
IGOTTADUMP: Right, Devin?
JohhnyCAGE: I wish I liked it.
IGOTTADUMP: Okay. Did it make you a bunch of points?
JohhnyCAGE: I...
Steve-O: No, he didn't have it this year.
JohhnyCAGE: No, I didn't even have it.
Steve-O: Rain did.
JohhnyCAGE: Rain got it.
IGOTTADUMP: What? You donated to the Kickstarter.
JohhnyCAGE: Because... Yeah, no, no, because this was another thing that legitimately may have colored my my opinion.
IGOTTADUMP: Well, here we go. Here's the bias.
JohhnyCAGE: I was supposed to come out last year and I had it. And then they said, hey, it was supposed to come out October 31st. And they said, hey, hey, hey, we're just doing it. Going to do like a really small baby, little baby delay, little bump, little baby delay, a really small delay, they said.
Steve-O: little bump, little bump.
JohhnyCAGE: So I was like, maybe I'll just keep it. Because what is a baby delay? Like a month? Two weeks? Next thing you know, it's like November. I was like, this fucking game's not coming out this year.
JohhnyCAGE: Doesn't come out.
IGOTTADUMP: Devin, just because you got diaper rash doesn't mean the diaper, it doesn't work.
JohhnyCAGE: That little baby delay was six months. Dude, that little baby delay was six months.
Steve-O: a bad diaper.
JohhnyCAGE: and it And a game came out and I was like, this game stinks. This game's butt on toast.
IGOTTADUMP: I just disagree.
Steve-O: They did you dirty. They did you dirty, man.
IGOTTADUMP: I disagree.
JohhnyCAGE: I got done dirty. And I'm allowed because I backed it.
IGOTTADUMP: I disagree. i disagree with your, i think you're biased. You're coming from a biased place. And i think that's coloring your, your opinion about it
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. I'd be I'd be much like most games.
Steve-O: He was wounded, yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: I kind of I spent a little bit of time on and then drop off. I beat two of the the towers. And the second tower I spent so goddamn long trying to get up it.
IGOTTADUMP: i'm I'm currently there. I'm running up there. I'm running up for the second.
JohhnyCAGE: I hate it. I hate how that whole thing works.
IGOTTADUMP: You don't like the forest? I'm in the forest level.
JohhnyCAGE: The forest, like, where the swamp area? Or the...
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah. Well, the east. I'm going east now.
JohhnyCAGE: Oh, I think Easton was the first one I did, and then I did South, and then...
IGOTTADUMP: I went west.
IGOTTADUMP: Oh, you're going. You're you're you're you're playing a different game.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, well, which is part of it, I guess, but also part of my argument for that is, like, it didn't... Because it's open like that, like, I didn't... I don't feel like there's any room for, like,
JohhnyCAGE: clever game design because it's like...
IGOTTADUMP: I disagree. There is something I'm doing right now that I, that's really interesting.
JohhnyCAGE: I don't know. I think it's cool because you can go into that town and there's a little mission and everybody has something for you to do.
IGOTTADUMP: Let me give you an example. There, there are puzzles in this and I, I think this is really clever.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. Yeah. Which there are, but
IGOTTADUMP: I'll give you example. It's, I think it's clever that you, um, there are certain tiles on, on a, on a platform that if you burrow into it,
IGOTTADUMP: it makes them able to be ignited on fire, right?
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: you You can lead a source of fire through a trail that you created by hollowing, and you have to do that to unlock doors around certain areas.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. And pathways. Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: There are floating path platforms where you have to move the fire along the floating platforms. I thought that was really neat.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, but that's just like a section. Like I'm saying, I'm saying like, because it's like, I could do that in hour one or I could do that in hour 20.
IGOTTADUMP: I know, but that's a cool puzzle.
JohhnyCAGE: And I don't know. It's just like, I want to feel like the game's evolving and not just like, well, it's not, it's not.
IGOTTADUMP: That's evolving, though.
JohhnyCAGE: It's because there from the jump.
IGOTTADUMP: No, but the whole fire path with the hollowing, that's a totally new aspect to the to the what hollowing is in the game.
JohhnyCAGE: I did it and I said, this is so fucking annoying you know at times i yeah anyway again again i'm glad i'm wrong i'm object i know i'm wrong it's just yeah i don't i don't uh i did not love it no you won't no no i i was yeah
IGOTTADUMP: All right, fine. I get it. I get it.
IGOTTADUMP: Let's see. I'm going to be in another tower. I'll see if I have the same opinion.
Steve-O: he yeah He just walks away and he's like, that you know what, Devin? After that one tower.
JohhnyCAGE: then You definitely won't. like Within like the first like hour, I was like, I just don't. This is pissing me off, man. And then it's just never.
IGOTTADUMP: Did you get the new jacket?
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, there's i got the two I got two jackets.
IGOTTADUMP: You got three sparks.
JohhnyCAGE: i got I got a green jacket and then I got a blue jacket. I think I had a blue jacket.
IGOTTADUMP: Oh, I didn't get it. I didn't get a new jacket yet. I got a green jacket.
JohhnyCAGE: there's Yeah, Chris, i'll just say this I'll just say this.
Steve-O: new jacket.
IGOTTADUMP: I got a whole bunch of health. um I'm feeling good.
JohhnyCAGE: There's a point where you get on a train. Do not rush through the train portion.
IGOTTADUMP: Okay. Okay.
JohhnyCAGE: The game will kind of try to get you to rush through it. Do not rush through it. And, you know, there might be a blue jacket in the future.
IGOTTADUMP: Woo!
Steve-O: oh
JohhnyCAGE: awesome
IGOTTADUMP: Okay, thank you for the heads up.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. yeah But.
IGOTTADUMP: Hell yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: ah
IGOTTADUMP: oh oh Oh, I got something. i got something else I gotta to talk about.
JohhnyCAGE: Give me. Give me. Give me.
IGOTTADUMP: I got something else.
JohhnyCAGE: 20 years
IGOTTADUMP: Fellas, this has been burning my butt ah since the podcast started. um i
JohhnyCAGE: ago. twenty years ago
IGOTTADUMP: i got i got two shows. Both cheeks are burning. I got two shows I have to talk about.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. right. Mm-hmm.
IGOTTADUMP: I have to talk about them. The two shows I have to talk about are both Apple TV shows.
JohhnyCAGE: hey
IGOTTADUMP: And those are Widow's Bay and Cape Fear. Um, I urge before I even get into anything i'm about to say, I urge you to watch both. They are both great shows.
fux mcclit: I think Sam watched Widow's Bay because when I brought it up that you said it was good, she got mad at me because I guess she talked to me, tried to talk to me about it before.
fux mcclit: And I guess I may have not.
JohhnyCAGE: Said that sounds stupid.
fux mcclit: No, or maybe I just wasn't listening.
Steve-O: Oh, you didn't, you know, sold it?
fux mcclit: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: Dude, watch it.
fux mcclit: Which, you know.
IGOTTADUMP: Watch that show. is funny. It's scary. It's it's the perfect blend of office-level humor and horror.
fux mcclit: Is it like dark comedy slash horror? Like what is it like?
IGOTTADUMP: Yes. Yes.
fux mcclit: Satirical?
IGOTTADUMP: that
fux mcclit: Okay.
IGOTTADUMP: it's um It makes fun of a lot of shows about a haunted place, about of like a mystic island that does things. like This island, Widow's Bay, is the collection of all of the worst curses and monsters you can think of throughout like HP Lovecraft, the Friday 13th, you know, it's this just fucked place that collects bad things.
IGOTTADUMP: And it makes fun of all of those things pretty equally in its, in its execution. um I, there's a satirical element to it, to, to pretty much everything. There's ah like a 1408 episode.
JohhnyCAGE: Mm-hmm.
IGOTTADUMP: as well. Like that kind of makes fun of the haunted house idea. um The humor is very, um it comes from situation and it's, it's, it's not so much character driven as it is like situationally driven. yeah I, I know that's watch the show. You'll, you'll understand what i'm saying, but um yeah, I, I feel like it's, um it's a very interesting show.
IGOTTADUMP: It's able to really ride two separate tones pretty well. all things. there I think the first couple of episodes are, it's like a slow burn. I think they're setting up a lot of things.
IGOTTADUMP: And I think as the series progresses, it gets better. Also, there is an episode or two directed by Ty West, who is the director of Pearl and X.
IGOTTADUMP: And I, that guy is, I hate that episode.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: It's wonderful. It's really, really, really good. um Yeah. I can't, the the other one, I can't talk about enough Cape fear this show. Oh boy.
IGOTTADUMP: This show, this is like, um, this is like a new Hannibal. Uh, yeah, it is, it extremely stylish.
Steve-O: Oh, OK.
IGOTTADUMP: Pretty much shot exactly or in the same theme or spiritual theme of the Scorsese Cape Fear with the fucking crash zooms like Rainey does a bunch. like um Just insane camera camera movement. um Infrared shots. um like ah Complete like like over and under exposure of reflections.
IGOTTADUMP: it's it's it's each It does these crazy scene you know transfers. you know like the wife There's wipes in this show. like there just This show is throwing everything at the wall.
IGOTTADUMP: And it's it's just leaking with style. In every every frame. Javier Bardem is locked out. Might be his best role.
JohhnyCAGE: Really?
IGOTTADUMP: Might be his his his best role.
Steve-O: That's wild, but awesome.
JohhnyCAGE: Is it...
fux mcclit: ah Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, bro.
JohhnyCAGE: Like it more than the movie?
fux mcclit: More than ah old country for no country for old men?
IGOTTADUMP: Well, that's the thing.
fux mcclit: Anton?
IGOTTADUMP: He's playing another villain.
fux mcclit: said the
IGOTTADUMP: And I just... he Dude, he is... he is a wonderful villain.
fux mcclit: He's a good villain, huh? Carried it Skyfall.
IGOTTADUMP: He is... he is like And he's more he's way more sexy and sleazy in this than Anton.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: Chigurh, like he's there there's like...
fux mcclit: Anton Chigurh is like the epitome of Seth.
IGOTTADUMP: they a Yeah, right?
Steve-O: Yes, yes, yes.
fux mcclit: Dude's legit a virgin, probably, in that in that universe. no No doubt about it.
IGOTTADUMP: With that haircut?
fux mcclit: No doubt about it
IGOTTADUMP: now this one is like, he's like the opposite end of the spectrum of villainy. Like it's, max his Max Cady is a manipulative seducer.
IGOTTADUMP: is the way I would kind of put it. And it's the first the first scenes of the first two episodes. I dare you not to have your mouth not open the entire time while you're watching it.
IGOTTADUMP: They are brutal, gory, shocking scenes. Like some of the the more shocking things I've seen all year. i at The first two episodes, those first opening sequences are intense as fuck.
IGOTTADUMP: And it's... it's i You gotta watch this shit. You gotta watch it. gotta check it out.
JohhnyCAGE: which Which one should you start? Like, which one should you watch first if you're like...
IGOTTADUMP: I don't know. Watch them both. They're both great.
JohhnyCAGE: You know, it's funny. I've seen the Cape Fear trailers and I'm like, okay. i've now i Even now, i still haven't seen a single like trailer of Widows widows Bay.
Steve-O: I posted a couple of while back for you, Devin.
IGOTTADUMP: Well... We did.
Steve-O: They're silly. They're funny.
IGOTTADUMP: They're goofy as fuck. They're very like creepy pasta-esque, like weird. And that that trailer shows up again in the show.
IGOTTADUMP: In the show.
Steve-O: ah that's good.
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah, there is a part where that that is in it. um that Yeah, that one.
Steve-O: I like the one where the guy just sort walks.
IGOTTADUMP: That one. Like a character interacts with that. And he's like, what the fuck? What's... Hi, where is he?
JohhnyCAGE: yes
IGOTTADUMP: It's very...
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, I still don't have Apple TV, but...
IGOTTADUMP: It's funny.
JohhnyCAGE: it
IGOTTADUMP: Dude, get on it. They are there're fucking... They got something water over there, man.
JohhnyCAGE: They're on it.
JohhnyCAGE: I know, they've been on it.
fux mcclit: Would you rank them higher than hbo Max?
IGOTTADUMP: I think they might be sliding into the groove that will be the Paramount WB bullshit that we'll start to get soon.
fux mcclit: It might be top dog now.
Steve-O: and
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah. Yep. And the money they're spending. They're getting... Javier Bardem to be in this. um There's hot Amy Adams in Cape Fear. They're they're getting Anna Taylor Joy to be in a movie. They got they got her slated. I've seen trailers for that on Apple TV. like they're they're They're putting out a lot of money to make movies and television. so they're they're they're coming up.
IGOTTADUMP: Check them out.
fux mcclit: They're doing it.
IGOTTADUMP: Check them out.
fux mcclit: They're doing it.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, good. Good. i ah I know. and anita I need to get on it. But, je see you know, it's it's funny. Jenny keeps trying to, like, get me to, like, start watching Euphoria again because she wants to.
JohhnyCAGE: But I'm like, I just don't have any interest because of how bad.
fux mcclit: you already watched You already watched the good scenes.
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah, that show is rough.
fux mcclit: Just saying.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
fux mcclit: Bravo. Bravo.
Steve-O: Yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: I mean. And like, like, I don't know, man. I'm just like, yeah, like, come on. you can She's like, no, let's watch it together. And I'm like, no, no, you you can watch it. Like, I'm good. I'm good on it.
JohhnyCAGE: And then just, she falls asleep in 20 minutes and I just end up watching an episode of a show i don't really have too much interest in continuing with. And I'm like, ah, damn it.
JohhnyCAGE: Chris, did you finish Spider-Man Noir?
IGOTTADUMP: I did not. I'm sorry.
JohhnyCAGE: Spider-Noir.
IGOTTADUMP: These other shows really kind of hit me.
JohhnyCAGE: They took your time.
IGOTTADUMP: They blindsided me.
JohhnyCAGE: it took Yeah. I finished it. I think it's like, it's honestly, it's quite good. Kind of um start to finish.
IGOTTADUMP: It started great. It started great.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, it started great and really well as well. um Kind of almost as if like, which I'm not upset by, but almost as if they're like, yeah, we don't know if we're going to get a season two.
JohhnyCAGE: was like, okay, cool. Like kind of a real buttoned up, real tight.
fux mcclit: Is it animated?
JohhnyCAGE: No, no, it's, it's Nicholas Cage and you can watch it in black and white or,
fux mcclit: It's animated?
Steve-O: No, it's live action.
fux mcclit: It's not?
IGOTTADUMP: Nope. Live action.
fux mcclit: and has It has no um direct correlation with Spider-Verse? Or does?
JohhnyCAGE: I mean, no direct, but it's like, if you were to say it's the same guy, like no one would be like, no, it doesn't make sense. Timeline wise. The only difference is that this one, the Nicholas Cage one goes by Ben Reilly.
JohhnyCAGE: um But they even kind of give him the out there because they're like, oh, you changed her name, you know, and don't say what he changes, what his original name was, but they're like, change your name to Ben Reilly. So it's like, yeah. And essentially the this is all within the first 30 seconds of the first episode.
JohhnyCAGE: ah he's he was he's been Spider-Man. His girl, is he was going to kind of give it up, give up the life, run away with her. She gets killed because of his because of his job as ah as a like a private eye.
IGOTTADUMP: fish she
JohhnyCAGE: And then he just kind of hard quits.
IGOTTADUMP: and
JohhnyCAGE: He hard quits everything. And that's kind of where you find him in the beginning of the show. And Nicolas Cage is awesome. He's really fun.
JohhnyCAGE: And I do not think it will be of the quality of the other two shows. But, like, it's better than Daredevil, you know? I think it's, like, clears Daredevil easily.
Steve-O: That's so sad.
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah, that that's obvious, right?
fux mcclit: What about... Oh, yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: yeah um like I don't think Daredevil...
fux mcclit: we to be Did you guys talk about the Punisher movie?
IGOTTADUMP: we didn't want of all dev I think Devin watched it.
JohhnyCAGE: I watched it.
Steve-O: Yeah, I think Devin watched it.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, yeah.
fux mcclit: Oh, God.
IGOTTADUMP: and was That To be honest, John, there was a moment in the Daredevil show where i the end of it was was fun.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, I said it felt like a... It just kind of felt like a pilot, you know, for for a show.
fux mcclit: Kill. It was a kill.
JohhnyCAGE: was like, all right.
IGOTTADUMP: I will give it that. But overall, like i i was dragging myself through it.
fux mcclit: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: like i is not good It was not good
fux mcclit: Yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. Yeah.
fux mcclit: Just wasn't good.
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah, like it didn't... and the The acting is so hit or miss.
fux mcclit: Sadly.
IGOTTADUMP: And I just feel like a lot of the plotting didn't make sense. I i don't understand Maddie teaming up with Bullseye. That just doesn't sit up with me.
fux mcclit: Yeah, it just doesn't make any sense.
IGOTTADUMP: I'm sorry. i can't get past that.
fux mcclit: I mean, it was cool.
IGOTTADUMP: I know it might sound like nitpicking.
fux mcclit: The bullseye scenes really cool looking visually, but like, I don't know.
Steve-O: that's the guy who killed your best friend. Come on.
IGOTTADUMP: I could just can't!
Steve-O: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: What?! In what world? like
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: yeah Like either the comics or even in this world that they're creating.
JohhnyCAGE: um
IGOTTADUMP: what
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. It also didn't help that that came out like a week after the the bear episode came out. That was all.
IGOTTADUMP: And then he shot a bunch of people in that episode, right?
fux mcclit: That was fucking godlike.
Steve-O: mountain
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. Yeah, that was super good. didn't. He shot everybody. He shot hearts and my and minds with his with his with his bad attitude, dude.
IGOTTADUMP: Oh, i that's what they said.
IGOTTADUMP: yeah had a rough attitude, huh?
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. Yeah. He's a rough attitude in that, but that was great too. Um, we, I didn't talk about this last week, Steve, because we just kind of, we're were just solely focused on, uh, I saw he man masters of the universe.
Steve-O: Yeah, we were filled. We were filled to the brim.
IGOTTADUMP: Heman.
fux mcclit: Oh man, was it awesome?
Steve-O: Oh.
IGOTTADUMP: Hyman.
JohhnyCAGE: It's not, it's not bad. It's not bad. I wouldn't say it's great. Um,
Steve-O: Is no Grogu, you were saying?
JohhnyCAGE: Oh man. Um, yeah, yeah. yeah Um,
IGOTTADUMP: Oh, Jesus.
JohhnyCAGE: i I liked Mandalorian and Grogu.
IGOTTADUMP: Did you forget that already?
JohhnyCAGE: No, no, no. But I was trying to think of which one I liked more.
IGOTTADUMP: right.
JohhnyCAGE: I still think I like Mando more. He-Man, though, it's just like you can see the effort on the screen, which is nice, right?
JohhnyCAGE: Jared Leto's Skeletor is, I don't even want say shockingly great. It's just, it's great. He's really good. ah And just the designs, like they're all, a lot of them are just practical designs. So like Skeletor looks, Trapjaw looks outstanding.
JohhnyCAGE: um It's just, do you care, right? And I think that's the big question. Like, do you care though? Because it's like,
IGOTTADUMP: Mm-hmm. Yep. yep
JohhnyCAGE: I he man was pretty much out of my scope. And, you know, we're talking people in their 40s, right? i who's Who's going to go see this movie? And I think the only thing that I was like, that's ridiculous is.
JohhnyCAGE: So the character, right? Adam. He's huge. He is a gigantic man because he plays he man in the movie.
Steve-O: Adam, right? Prince?
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, Prince Adam. They try to act as if he's not super jacked when he's just Adam, like on Earth.
IGOTTADUMP: Oh, they put them in sweaters.
JohhnyCAGE: No, he just wears a big, a really big, he wears a pink button up, right? Kind of fitting.
IGOTTADUMP: okay.
JohhnyCAGE: But like, There's a scene where he goes to the gym and he's like oh, you have any hint like tips for a guy who's just starting out? And I'm like, you're gigantic. What do you what do you mean, like, starting out?
JohhnyCAGE: And then there's a scene where he he transforms and they do, like, an anime transformation where he's all of a sudden small and then he gets all super jacked, like a Sailor Moon transformation. And I'm like, you've you're just jacked the whole time. Like, why?
JohhnyCAGE: What an odd thing to... to try to like just keep under wraps.
Steve-O: that' I think that's funny. That's a hoot.
JohhnyCAGE: But but they don't they don't play it for jokes, right? It's not like he's you're clearly gigantic. Like, what are you talking about? um But no, man, that was a good... That's a fuck.
JohhnyCAGE: I give a...
Steve-O: Hell yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, it's not bad at all. Travis Knight, the guy did Bumblebee, which is also a shockingly fun movie,
Steve-O: That is a fun movie.
JohhnyCAGE: But i that poor guy, man, he he makes quality movies that no one wants to see, even though there should be some fan base. But he by the time he gets to it, it's just no one cares.
JohhnyCAGE: But.
IGOTTADUMP: I have a kill to talk about. And I don't even know if I can i can give it a kill because I didn't finish it.
JohhnyCAGE: Oh, no.
JohhnyCAGE: Oh, i Spider-Man Noir. I'd give a good set, by the way.
IGOTTADUMP: Oh, yeah. Give a good...
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: you i good Is it finished?
JohhnyCAGE: Good set. Yeah, it's done.
IGOTTADUMP: Okay, good.
JohhnyCAGE: Eight.
IGOTTADUMP: I'm going to catch up.
JohhnyCAGE: I think eight episodes. Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: I have a... I don't even know. I can't give it a rating. I didn't finish it, right?
JohhnyCAGE: Okay.
IGOTTADUMP: That's... I have to be fair here. um I watched They Are Going to Kill You. Or They Will Kill You. i think that's the title.
JohhnyCAGE: Oh, the Zazie Beetz movie?
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: there' that Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: um
JohhnyCAGE: I almost saw this in theaters, but I didn't.
IGOTTADUMP: This... One of... Some of the... just I watched 30 minutes of it. So I gave i gave it the first the first act.
JohhnyCAGE: Okay. Okay.
IGOTTADUMP: It's an hour and 37 minutes. It's some of the worst dialogue I've... i've I've heard in a movie in a long time. A lot of it it's ADR too, which, you know, you get you get about 10 minutes of ADR.
JohhnyCAGE: a Pretty rough.
IGOTTADUMP: You can maybe get away with it. 20 minutes though? Then you start noticing it, right?
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: That's rough for me. um Secondly, it was trying hard. to be a Tarantino movie.
IGOTTADUMP: Like, like that, like that, um, was a, the it incident at, at the El Dorado.
JohhnyCAGE: Mm-hmm.
JohhnyCAGE: Only the bride.
Steve-O: Oh, yeah, yeah, What was...
JohhnyCAGE: Bad times at the El Royale.
Steve-O: Oh, Raoul, yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: Royale. Um, you just see it immediately.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: Like this is,
JohhnyCAGE: This is poor man's Tarantino.
IGOTTADUMP: oh God.
JohhnyCAGE: Team move Tarantino, dude.
IGOTTADUMP: Yes. And,
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: And it's so apparent that whatever the director was trying, they were trying to spackle up like really bad dialogue and just a stupid movie.
Steve-O: Hmm.
IGOTTADUMP: Like, so maybe there's some praise to be given to the director for trying to do something with a shitty script.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: But ultimately there's so many problems.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. You know, it's funny. It's funny that you say that because like when I saw the trailer, what kind of like, i was like, I don't know. Is like, i was like, this just looks like ready or not, which is.
IGOTTADUMP: kind It kind is, man.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. And I was like, okay, well, like,
IGOTTADUMP: There's really not that much of a difference.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, and I'm like, all right. like Not that like, oh, i they've done it already so I can't ever watch another movie like that, but I just wasn't really that.
IGOTTADUMP: it's It's ready or not...
JohhnyCAGE: was like, okay, Ready or Not came out like three years ago. You know? or
IGOTTADUMP: it's it's it's It's ready or not with an anime influence, but with terrible dialogue and overly stylistic...
JohhnyCAGE: Okay.
IGOTTADUMP: direction like like a Tarantino film.
JohhnyCAGE: So no plans to jump back in?
IGOTTADUMP: No, no. I got to a point, I guess it would be the hook of the movie.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: And I was like, I don't want any more to do with this. And that, I don't walk out of movies, but I will turn off a movie at home.
Steve-O: You turned it off.
JohhnyCAGE: yeah
Steve-O: You walked away.
Steve-O: wasting your time.
IGOTTADUMP: i think that's I think that's fair.
Steve-O: That's fair.
IGOTTADUMP: I think I'm paying to go see a film. I'm going to see it to its duration and and talk about it how much I hate it at the end.
Steve-O: Mm-hmm.
Steve-O: If you're at home and you're watching something and there's a point where you are like, I would rather be washing the dishes.
JohhnyCAGE: and
IGOTTADUMP: Yes. Yes.
Steve-O: I can be more productive in this in the span of time.
IGOTTADUMP: I can clean my bowls so I can smoke weed.
JohhnyCAGE: um'm not yeah i'm not quite there I'm not quite there with movies.
Steve-O: hmm.
JohhnyCAGE: Games, I've i've gotten much more comfortable dropping it. right but That's true, there's a lot.
IGOTTADUMP: To be real, Devin, I'm like that with everything nowadays because we're so unindated with bullshit. I feel like I have the luxury for it.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
Steve-O: There's too many there's so many games, movies, shows. If you're wasting your time on something, just move on to the next thing.
IGOTTADUMP: I think...
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah, man. I mean, I hate i hate to be that like cold about it, but that's what corporate...
Steve-O: You only got so much time in your life.
IGOTTADUMP: You know, the corporate machine has created now. This is just shit to eat.
Steve-O: they're true That's the thing. There's ah there's an overabundance of slop for the pigs.
IGOTTADUMP: I hate, I mean, let's be real.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: Like, like.
JohhnyCAGE: Well, listen, listen, like even if it's kind of quality, like I remember I was watching um the Burroughs that like ah I watched like the first episode.
IGOTTADUMP: Oh, yeah, that.
JohhnyCAGE: like This isn't bad, but like, I don't do I do I have it in me to watch like six more of these or whatever?
IGOTTADUMP: Who cares?
JohhnyCAGE: I was like, oh, we'll see. Like it didn't didn't, you know, wasn't a priority for sure.
Steve-O: a big ask.
IGOTTADUMP: Alfred Molina is in that shit for crying out loud.
Steve-O: Oh my goodness. From Chocolat.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah,
IGOTTADUMP: That guy's wonderful.
Steve-O: He's the light. He's a delight.

IGOTTADUMP: He was sent there against his will to do that mission.
fux mcclit: yeah
Steve-O: and
IGOTTADUMP: What did you how did you feel about that? at the end
Steve-O: You know,
Steve-O: That's an interesting point because that is not something where I am in that scenario. There is not a point where I have been in that scenario where I am like, I can, I see i am, you know, I'm the person in charge of any last shred of saving the world.
Steve-O: And the one guy, I'm sorry, the, the one astronaut guy who we just had blew the hell up.
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah.
Steve-O: And our last guy who knows the thing that we're trying to do or accomplish at least it is refusing. It's like, what do you what do you do there?
Steve-O: So like, you know, it's kind of one of those things where like, you see that, like they did a really good job with, um, I forget the name of the character, but like, you kind of have that, like,
Steve-O: that interest where it's like, you know, they are growing closer as people.
fux mcclit: grace. grace
Steve-O: Like they actually like are enjoying each other's company and like growing as characters. And then there's that point where it's like, you have to make this like really awful choice because like you can tell that she cares about him.
Steve-O: So.
IGOTTADUMP: Right, so you... Because like the end of that movie, he actually doesn't go back to Earth, right?
Steve-O: Right. No.
IGOTTADUMP: Like, because he, you know, feels a certain way, right?
Steve-O: Right. Like that's, that's the thing.
fux mcclit: Well, there's that.
Steve-O: Yeah.
fux mcclit: And I i mean, i like to think that he was, you know, maybe he understands that the corruption of humanity would probably just try to take advantage of an entire new species.
Steve-O: Yeah.
fux mcclit: So maybe he's trying to protect them too, you know?
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah, that that's...
JohhnyCAGE: That's true, yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: 1 million percent. Yes.
JohhnyCAGE: Also, I do feel like he could kind of essentially go back whenever he felt like, right?
IGOTTADUMP: But he didn't.
Steve-O: he yeah like he's kind of a loner character yeah uh no
IGOTTADUMP: But he didn't.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. Yeah, but I'm just saying, I feel like the option is always available, though.
IGOTTADUMP: That's the the important thing.
JohhnyCAGE: Like, where where he's at at the end that.
fux mcclit: Well, she she she told him.
IGOTTADUMP: I mean, he's not trapped. I understand. But like he's not going back.
Steve-O: no
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
fux mcclit: No, but like she she spelled it out for him. She's like, oh, you have no family? You've got not you've got nothing here?
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
fux mcclit: Like why why why would he go back when they that was pretty much spelled out for him?
JohhnyCAGE: I would say, askx listen, you're not wrong, but you're still an asshole, right?
IGOTTADUMP: That's true.
Steve-O: right
JohhnyCAGE: it's It's kind of that. I have dick move.
fux mcclit: Yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: Dick move.
Steve-O: That's the thing, Devin, if you got sent to space by force and then you went up to space and Chris Galani's rocket ship bumps into yours and y'all become besties and
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah, I mean, you're coming back, right?
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. I'm not.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, im I'm like, you got food? What's your version of pizza? I'll eat it.
Steve-O: it's pizza.
JohhnyCAGE: You know?
IGOTTADUMP: You got to watch me.
JohhnyCAGE: Then I'm in.
IGOTTADUMP: Don't watch when I eat, though. You can watch when I poop.
JohhnyCAGE: It's true. It's a little weird.
Steve-O: It's disgusting.
IGOTTADUMP: That's the thing in the book. He was okay with watching when people pooped.
JohhnyCAGE: Well, yeah. i mean, we're really into it.
Steve-O: yeah
IGOTTADUMP: That rock? cause that's like
Steve-O: Gotta watch while sleeping and pooping.
IGOTTADUMP: He thinks so, but watching people because he he used to go down and he would eat burritos in front of and He's like, oo
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: Stop. He's like, that's disgusting.
Steve-O: They did a phenomenal job capturing so much and putting it into what really is a very quick-paced film.
IGOTTADUMP: yeah
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah. Yeah, that movie moves.
Steve-O: It really does.
IGOTTADUMP: it's It's surprising, too, like the things they cut out and then also the things I noticed were like Easter eggs, too. Like the fact that he he got super ripped, like he noted that on the whiteboard, like I'm ripped now.
JohhnyCAGE: yeah Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: Like that was a huge part of the book. But they, they you know, I get why they would truncate something like that. I totally understand it. It's not, I'm not, that's not a complaint at all.
Steve-O: Right.
IGOTTADUMP: You know, I liked seeing the process of adapting a book to screen. And I think they made the cuts where necessary. You know, there was a whole plot line where they nuke Antarctica in the book.
IGOTTADUMP: Like, because global warming, they want to increase global warming because it's getting colder.
Steve-O: Right.
IGOTTADUMP: No.
fux mcclit: Chris, do you wish you do you wish you didn't read the book?
IGOTTADUMP: so
JohhnyCAGE: Bye.
fux mcclit: Because I'm like, i don't know this might be something, like, this might be, like, a weird sort of, like, reverse copium, but, like, watching the movie and enjoying the movie so much, I was, like, kind of glad I didn't really know anything about it going in, you know?
IGOTTADUMP: Well, I guess I knew enough, but like like I said, like i would like whenever I go to see a movie that I've read, the book, I always like to see what they choose to cut.
IGOTTADUMP: Like what is the most important part for the film?
fux mcclit: Right.
IGOTTADUMP: That interests me sometimes more than the movie.
fux mcclit: Yeah, I mean, I see that, but I just feel like, you know, we talk about sper sploberg spielberger Spielbergism and, like, how that movie was very much classic Spielberg, and, like, it just felt like a kind of like a magical type movie, you know, where...
Steve-O: yeah
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: There's also aspects, there's definitely been situations where I've read books and I'm like, I but i like the movie more. Like that's that's not always set in stone.
IGOTTADUMP: You know, like The Shining is, the movie's way better.
fux mcclit: Right.
Steve-O: That movie is, yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: It's so much better. Like I, it's, i sometimes I'm shocked how much I like the movie more. So it's always an aspect there. I like them both differently.
IGOTTADUMP: You know, i I think I like the book a little more in this scenario.
fux mcclit: Devin, do you prefer the Lord of the Rings book or the movie?
JohhnyCAGE: Well, as somebody who I scrubbed out on the book, I couldn't stand reading it.
Steve-O: Oh, it's a movie for him.
JohhnyCAGE: I was like, I actually don't like this book.
IGOTTADUMP: Well, i will I'll be real with you.
fux mcclit: Is it because they is it because they don't say meats back on the menu, boys? is that because Is it because they don't have that in the book?
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: Here.
Steve-O: ah Nah, nah, nah. It's one character.
IGOTTADUMP: yeah
Steve-O: It's one character for Devin and his name rhymes with Throm Zambadil.
fux mcclit: Because they don't have that in the book?
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: if you want me to be brutally honest if I'm honest about the Lord the Rings books The Hobbit is the best written book
fux mcclit: Because...
Steve-O: Oh, I love The Hobbit.
fux mcclit: Okay.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. yeah Yeah, I read that book.
Steve-O: That's such a fun read.
IGOTTADUMP: that book's wonderful I think Lord of the Rings trilogy is good I think it's just you know it's it's a lot yeah
JohhnyCAGE: you
Steve-O: Hmm.
fux mcclit: z um
fux mcclit: Guys, I work with a guy that is like a fucking Homer Odyssey like book nerd, like a lore junkie, and he is he's got very mixed feelings about about this movie coming up.
JohhnyCAGE: Oh, man.
IGOTTADUMP: Oh boy. What is he upset about?
JohhnyCAGE: I'll be honest, I don't blame him.
fux mcclit: So on one end, there's that guy. And then I work with another guy who we've been having movie conversations with who think he thinks Nolan's like the best director of all time. And I'm just like, well, I mean, that's just that's just factually wrong.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, well, that's just... no
IGOTTADUMP: You're in the middle.
fux mcclit: You know, I break the snob out and I'm like, you would put him up there with like, you know, Spielberg and and.
Steve-O: Oh. went
IGOTTADUMP: Kersauer Bergman.
fux mcclit: Well, dude, I went Kurosawa and didn't get didn't get a bite with the bait. So I knew that was too deep of a cut.
Steve-O: hawk. Nah.
fux mcclit: um I mumbled Ingmar Bergman under my breath to just... Just to see if somebody in the queue, in the Jason cube, would, like, pop their head out.
IGOTTADUMP: There's
fux mcclit: not that We're not there yet.
IGOTTADUMP: nobody. There's nobody.
Steve-O: um
fux mcclit: But, yeah, I mean, but, like, the the thing was, like, Tarantino.
JohhnyCAGE: Oh my, yeah.
fux mcclit: i was like, you put him over Tarantino? He's like, yeah. And I'm like... i was like, pull up the fucking... i was like, pull up the fucking letterbox right now.
Steve-O: dude
fux mcclit: Like, laura pull up the Rotten Tomatoes, like, resumes.
Steve-O: john with the letterbox i i love that that's an ongoing thread
JohhnyCAGE: Can I, wait
fux mcclit: Yeah, because I was like... No, because I was like, dude, because we were like, what do you think? Here, I'll ask you guys this. What do you think the... ro I mean, I know this is like, you know, a mirror will come and be like, oh, it's fucking corporate.
fux mcclit: Corporate slimed. doesn't matter anymore. But like, what do you guys think the Rotten Tomatoes score of the Odyssey is going to end up being?
IGOTTADUMP: 95. Yeah.
fux mcclit: You think going to be that high? Because that's high these days.
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah.
fux mcclit: 95 is high.
Steve-O: going to 93, 93, 92.
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah.
fux mcclit: Because we were we were saying, I said 90 is probably where it would...
JohhnyCAGE: 88. I'm going to say 88.
fux mcclit: it would Yeah, I said 87 to where I would ballpark it.
IGOTTADUMP: I think this is going to be...
JohhnyCAGE: And that's, and that's if you don't piss people off because this movie, it's, it's already made some decisions that have been like little curious.
fux mcclit: Well, yeah, the my the Odyssey fanboy was saying like um like
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
fux mcclit: he doesn't like the fact that it's like an ensemble cast. like He thinks that's going to take away from him.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: I
fux mcclit: I was like, dude, let Nolan cook, though. like It's Christopher Nolan.
IGOTTADUMP: i don't think it's going to be as ensemble as you think. I think it's...
Steve-O: It's going to get whittled down real fast.
IGOTTADUMP: yeah Here's the deal with... He should understand this about epic poetry, ah Greek epic poetry. There is no internal monologue for any character in ah in Greek epic poetry.
IGOTTADUMP: The internal monologue is the gods. So...
fux mcclit: Chris, let me stop you right there. Because the the last trailer he watched, his huge problem with it was that Tom Holland referred to, um, referred to, uh, what's his name?
fux mcclit: Odysseus as dad, as dad.
JohhnyCAGE: deia
IGOTTADUMP: like disney's dad i
JohhnyCAGE: No, no. Listen, listened and I was like, that bugs me. It bugs impug me.
fux mcclit: That bugged you too? Okay, yeah. No, because I wanted to get your thoughts on this because, like, I, you know, I've no, I got no skin in the game, you know?
JohhnyCAGE: and
JohhnyCAGE: i don't love that I don't love that there's no attempt at an accent. um
IGOTTADUMP: i have no issue with it i have no issue with it he goes because because it
JohhnyCAGE: It just means like an odd joke.
fux mcclit: And like that, yeah, that, okay. So, so, so you have, so, so Devin, cause I brought up meets back up on the menu boys as, as like a, as like an analogy for that.
IGOTTADUMP: it
IGOTTADUMP: In the early 2000s, when they did these Greek epic movies, everybody had a British accent, which was equally wrong.
JohhnyCAGE: don't think it's comparable.
fux mcclit: And.
IGOTTADUMP: Like, that's not right either. Like, I
fux mcclit: Yeah. So Devin, you rather them just speak in Greek the whole time?
Steve-O: Hmm.
fux mcclit: Or you'd rather movie be that?
IGOTTADUMP: i mean, if you really want to get real, that's what should be happening.
JohhnyCAGE: No, but it's certain, like, again, standout line, like you said, is my dad, right? It's like not, there's just a way of speaking, right?
fux mcclit: Yeah, it it doesn't feel it doesn't feel right.
IGOTTADUMP: Listen, these anachronistic shit, I could care less.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, it's just like,
fux mcclit: It doesn't feel right.
IGOTTADUMP: I really could. Because this...
JohhnyCAGE: i don't I'm not going to say it's going to ruin the movie, but like when I watched the trailer, I was like, that's odd.
IGOTTADUMP: this
fux mcclit: Ew.
JohhnyCAGE: That's a choice. and i don't It's like Nolan's way smarter than to just be like, I just didn't think about it, right?
fux mcclit: Ew.
IGOTTADUMP: it
Steve-O: Yeah.
fux mcclit: Yeah, there's gotta be a...
IGOTTADUMP: I just don't...
JohhnyCAGE: like
IGOTTADUMP: I don't see the nitpicking about it when... Before that, it was English accents.
fux mcclit: Well, what if it's like Romeo and Juliet and it's just like modern times?
IGOTTADUMP: or
fux mcclit: That kind of thing, you know?
IGOTTADUMP: i think that's kind of what the...
JohhnyCAGE: But even then, they spoke they spoke in the old language. It was just in modern day.
IGOTTADUMP: Well, they they they spoke in in in the Shakespeare's play, but like that's different.
fux mcclit: yeah did they did they Yeah, did he refer to his dad?
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: That's different than this. You want people to speak in original...
fux mcclit: my dad. My dad on the Capulets. My Capulet dad is going to have a problem with you, Romeo.
IGOTTADUMP: the o
IGOTTADUMP: If you really want want to get real, this is a poem.
fux mcclit: Oh.
fux mcclit: You Montague. Is your Montague dad going to fight my Capulet dad?
IGOTTADUMP: This is a poem...
Steve-O: a
fux mcclit: Are dads going to fight each other? See, doesn't that bother you, Chris? That bothers me.
IGOTTADUMP: It does not.
fux mcclit: i was saying it like that.
IGOTTADUMP: It does not. Because to be honest, if it really was supposed to be 100% accurate, it would be in Greek and it would rhyme. Like it's a poem. Like that's...
fux mcclit: Well, that, I mean, that's why, i mean, I think that's why Travis Scott got a role in this because he could probably, they're probably going to do something with the poetry.
IGOTTADUMP: That would be actually kind of cool if they did something wrong with
fux mcclit: Yeah, I mean i think i think that that's my tinfoil hat theory. Because like Travis Scott being in a movie of this caliber and not being in any movie of any caliber prior to this didn't really make any sense to me.
fux mcclit: Like, is that just a cash grab, like weird move by Nolan? But like like we said, Nolan is smarter than than the average director.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
fux mcclit: So he's probably got a reason for it.
IGOTTADUMP: I'm, I'm, I'm, I have no.
fux mcclit: so maybe So Devin, maybe he has a reason for Twinkie Tom Holland, like, you know, like, talking like ah like a weirdo, you know?
JohhnyCAGE: I mean, that's that's why I'm not like ah totally against it.
Steve-O: no
IGOTTADUMP: Well, here's deal. Tom Holland, unfortunately, is not a good actor.
JohhnyCAGE: It's just.
IGOTTADUMP: but So, I mean, yeah.
fux mcclit: Dude, he's Nathan Drake. You watch your mouth.
IGOTTADUMP: right.
fux mcclit: That's Nathan Drake you're talking about here.
Steve-O: ah the nathan drake he is cemented as the nathan drake in fortnite because he is the default
fux mcclit: That's the Nathan
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, his most famous role, Nathan Drake. Yeah.
fux mcclit: Drake. Yeah. If he's not Nathan Drake, he's being carried by other fucking Marvel actors in his own movies. So, you know.
Steve-O: like robert downey jr
fux mcclit: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: Duny Jr.
Steve-O: from Doom. No.
fux mcclit: Robert Downey Jr.
IGOTTADUMP: Ironman and Dr.
fux mcclit: who who shows up in three whole film minutes of that one movie and probably got paid then the entire cast got paid more than the entire cast combined for three minutes and in one movie.
IGOTTADUMP: Doom.
Steve-O: do
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: You know.
fux mcclit: But, you know.
JohhnyCAGE: This what you do.
IGOTTADUMP: Anyway,
fux mcclit: Take it.
JohhnyCAGE: Did anyone see Disclosure Day?
IGOTTADUMP: no one here saw Disclosure Day.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
fux mcclit: I don't really plan to.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, I probably will if
fux mcclit: Is it supposed to be good? I mean, that's the opposite thing.
IGOTTADUMP: Evangelista loved it.
fux mcclit: Like, the the cast of that, it makes me kind of want to watch it. Not not even the fact that Spielberg is in it.
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah, me too.
fux mcclit: It's just that Emily Blunt's in it, and she's probably awesome in it.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, I'm hearing like they're like, oh, it's great, but also it's divisive.
fux mcclit: What's the Rotten Tomatoes?
JohhnyCAGE: And I'm like, 81 certified.
Steve-O: Oh. Oh.
fux mcclit: Oh, yeah. Yeah, so the, um, this is the other thing. i'll I'll break off this tangent after this, but, like, like we were talking about movies and he, he wanted to know what movie to watch.
fux mcclit: So like, uh, somebody mentioned watching, um, Godzilla versus calm or something.
JohhnyCAGE: Jurassic Park.
fux mcclit: Cause it was like family movie night.
JohhnyCAGE: Oh, oh.
fux mcclit: And I was like, I was like, well, why would you watch that when you could watch Godzilla minus one?
Steve-O: oh
JohhnyCAGE: ah
fux mcclit: And he was like, what's that? And I was like, Oh, here we go.
IGOTTADUMP: Jesus Christ.
JohhnyCAGE: Why
fux mcclit: So then the, the, the, the Christopher Nolan guy, who's been fucking, you know, talk about, Oh, Django is only an 89, blah, blah. I was like, I i knew.
fux mcclit: i mean, I kind of knew, but I wasn't 100% i wasn't a hundred percent sure Maybe I was 99% sure. But i was like oh what i was like, did you watch Godzilla Minds 1? He's like, no. He's like, never heard of it.
fux mcclit: I was like, like what's the Rotten Tomatoes score?
IGOTTADUMP: ah Yeah, you got to teach them.
fux mcclit: I'm curious. And he's like holy shit, 99?
JohhnyCAGE: are you looking up? good
fux mcclit: He's like, a Godzilla movie got a 99? I was like, dude, you guys got to... And these guys these guys are like work in the aviation industry, so like they know stuff.
IGOTTADUMP: You got to teach them.
fux mcclit: They know shit.
Steve-O: Oh yeah, that movie is very big into aviation.
fux mcclit: Yeah. So then he watched like he the guy watched the trailer.
IGOTTADUMP: You got to teach them to them.
fux mcclit: He's like, dude, I almost cried watching the trail. I was like, dude, was if you know anything about like planes and like, you know, a lot about planes and like World War Two shit. I'm like, this is like I'm like, dude, the movie's not even about Godzilla, dog.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
fux mcclit: I'm like, he's just he's the tornado and twister.
JohhnyCAGE: Honestly, like it's not...
fux mcclit: Like, that's what he is.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, and honestly, and it's not better than Minus One, but Shin Godzilla's great, too.
fux mcclit: You know?
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah, that's that's a great old movie.
fux mcclit: Oh, yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: You know?
fux mcclit: No. Yeah, but like, yeah. Yeah, but yeah, I love Shin Godzilla.
JohhnyCAGE: But, yeah, it's just like, dude, let's not disrespect Godzilla, man.
IGOTTADUMP: It's actually...
fux mcclit: That's a different taste. That's an a acquired taste type movie, though.
IGOTTADUMP: that that That's a wonderful, wonderful commentary on on climate change.
fux mcclit: yeah
Steve-O: Yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: Godzilla's got...
fux mcclit: Yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: like that That one is a whole other...
fux mcclit: Yeah. That's different. Godzilla Minus One, you could watch like with your family, I think. you know Shin Godzilla, he might not have a good great time.
Steve-O: yeah
JohhnyCAGE: Maybe. I mean, I guess it depends on subtitles, I guess.
fux mcclit: Not everybody.
fux mcclit: I guess. But yeah, so that was his homework.
JohhnyCAGE: You know. Hey.
fux mcclit: was he was gonna watch Godzilla minus one this week I'm on it dude I'm on it
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah, you got to teach these kids, dude.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: Because, like, i'm um I'm at the same boat with the kids at work.
Steve-O: ah got
IGOTTADUMP: Like, I'm trying to get them trying to teach.
fux mcclit: oh man dude a couple yeah a couple of them are like you know born like past year 2000s and like somebody somebody brought up MJ versus LeBron and I was like dude i was like I am not having this conversation because I know
Steve-O: Trying to teach them?
IGOTTADUMP: You know what I'm like, John? I'm like that.
Steve-O: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: You know what I'm like? I'm like that Key and Peele. Remember that Key and Peele sketch with the guy with the peanuts in his hand? Where he's like, oh, you youngsters, going to learn.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
fux mcclit: Oh, yeah. yeah Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: he's just popping nuts the whole time that shit yep yep

Steve-O: a
fux mcclit: We're not even going to a conversation.
IGOTTADUMP: yeah oh John i just gotta ask you buddy from Sixers fan to Sixers fan how do you feel about the Knicks winning everything
fux mcclit: I mean,
JohhnyCAGE: Hey man, second place, right? Second place.
Steve-O: and also they had dan has on on their side to come on man
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: And
fux mcclit: Unwanted, like as a basketball fan in general, I think it's good for basketball that these guys won. Just like unbiased, unfiltered, like no no Philly biases. ah
IGOTTADUMP: what do you, how do you really feel?
fux mcclit: I mean, I think that the fans are fucking stupid, but I'm sure everybody feels that way about Philly fans, especially after two Super Bowls and like almost in a row. Like, you know, people probably say the same shit about Philly fans.
JohhnyCAGE: i you know I'll be honest. I was like, bro, you can't win like game game two and then start assaulting people.
fux mcclit: But did dev Devin, did you see the the clip of the guy in the in the Spurs Rodman jersey that like fought like 30 Knicks guys like and came out unscathed?
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. and You know what I said? I said, good. They needed one back.
fux mcclit: No, did you see? That guy's from Philly, though. The guy interviewed, he's like, I'm from Philly.
JohhnyCAGE: Oh.
IGOTTADUMP: See, I think I have to admit, guys, i lived I lived in New York for for a while.
JohhnyCAGE: Awesome.
fux mcclit: These guys don't know how to fight. i was like, yes.
JohhnyCAGE: okay
Steve-O: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: hate this.
fux mcclit: They're all performative, right? They're they're they're all...
IGOTTADUMP: i hate I hate everything about this.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah,
IGOTTADUMP: I hate that the Knicks won.
fux mcclit: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: in pure hate mode.
fux mcclit: I think it's good, like, you know...
IGOTTADUMP: I hate Knicks fans.
fux mcclit: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: i hate I've seen them before this. I know what they're like. I don't i't like any of this.
fux mcclit: Yeah, I mean, i just that's the thing. It's like the fans. I like seeing Jalen Brunson win. like I like Jalen Brunson.
JohhnyCAGE: yeah I like Jalen Bronson.
IGOTTADUMP: I don't like Jailodron.
fux mcclit: Oh,
JohhnyCAGE: like I thought it was cool that his dad, the last time they were in the finals, his dad played.
IGOTTADUMP: I don't like Carl Anthony Towns.
fux mcclit: his abusive dad. His dad was just as abusive as fucking Joe Jackson.
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah, like that's that's weird.
fux mcclit: As Michael Jackson's dad.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: That whole thing is weird.
fux mcclit: He's basically, yeah, imagine after Michael Jackson won his first Grammy, he hugged his dad after it.
IGOTTADUMP: I hate that.

fux mcclit: It's the 1920s and the new New York was still so privileged that they needed still they needed two baseball teams in the 1920s.
Steve-O: we need two of them.
fux mcclit: So whatever, man.
JohhnyCAGE: Listen, I can't speak. I watched a bunch of guys punch each other in the face front the White House last night.
IGOTTADUMP: You got nowhere where to stand on this one.
JohhnyCAGE: Oh, man. and the fight The fights were like legitimately great, but...
fux mcclit: I saw the dude fucking salute Donald Trump or whatever after i he won. What was that about, Devin?
JohhnyCAGE: Uh, other guy with ah the colorful hair, the braid, he, uh, yeah, he, he knocked the guy out and then in one fell swoop, like knocked him out.
fux mcclit: Yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: And then in one motion went to a salute. He kind of just saluted like all the corners, but
fux mcclit: Yeah, but Trump was in one of those corners, so, yeah you know.
JohhnyCAGE: John, I got some bad news for you. He was, uh, he was, he was there all night and he was getting glazed all night and you're like, Oh man. But, uh, that main event, whew.

IGOTTADUMP: Me too.
JohhnyCAGE: Also, like, listen, I'll.
fux mcclit: You know, dude, they scored four goals in that game, Devin. So, like, it it was exciting to see that many goals get scored.

JohhnyCAGE: If you know soccer, that's crazy. That's that's.

IGOTTADUMP: Ew!
JohhnyCAGE: um You know what? Like, ah I'll I'll get invested if if the US makes it like a little bit deeper.
fux mcclit: If they make it through the group stage and, like, get into the tournament.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. that'll be okay Okay. Yeah. I'll watch it. Like right now, this is like, to me, it's like watching, it's like watching game 33 of an MLB season. It's like, all right, and i say doesn't matter, but it like,
Steve-O: Hmm. a
fux mcclit: but Dude, i watch every I watch every baseball game. It's actually kind of sad.
IGOTTADUMP: Do you really?
fux mcclit: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: ha ha ha!
fux mcclit: I'll just, like, have it on. Like, it's it's disgusting, dude.
JohhnyCAGE: yeah, I mean, there is a difference between having it on and like actually be like, Hey, this is.
fux mcclit: No, but I'm, like, watching it, you know, and I'm just like, you know, it's it's gross.
IGOTTADUMP: How do you feel about the Phillies?
fux mcclit: mean, they're pretty good right now.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
fux mcclit: Aside from starting pitching, two of the pitchers should probably be combined Frankenstein-style into one body, and then maybe we might have a shot at winning either either one of those, but, um,
IGOTTADUMP: Okay. Yeah, dude.
IGOTTADUMP: okay
fux mcclit: You know, our bats are, you know, aren't doing too hot.
JohhnyCAGE: Hey, you oh, yeah.
fux mcclit: are Dude, were we're playing the Mets for the first time in a few days.
IGOTTADUMP: yeahed
JohhnyCAGE: Oh, actually, you know what's funny? that This is a fraud check on my behalf. i ah I was at the game where the the streak of, yeah, where they broke the streak, where they finally scored a run, and everybody started clapping.
fux mcclit: ah The Christopher Sanchez's streak.
IGOTTADUMP: Wow.
fux mcclit: Yeah. You had no idea until you like got home like three days later, right?
JohhnyCAGE: it No, no, I was there. I was there, and everybody started applauding, and I was like, oh, I guess, like, I guess he was just on a good run, and then and then I saw, like, the signs.
fux mcclit: You had no idea that you were watching history. why i hate This is why I hate the Eagles, Steve. This is why i hate the Eagles.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
Steve-O: Mm-hmm.
JohhnyCAGE: And i was like I was like, oh shit, my bad.
fux mcclit: By the way.
IGOTTADUMP: Well, I know that streak that streak was from like 1930.
fux mcclit: Devin is the reason why I hate the Eagles.
IGOTTADUMP: That streak was from like 1930, wasn't it?
fux mcclit: Just to let you know.
IGOTTADUMP: That he beat the record?
fux mcclit: Yeah, he beat Grover Cleveland's ah record for the Phillies.
JohhnyCAGE: ah
IGOTTADUMP: it's Some fucking 30s fucking pitcher, right?
fux mcclit: No, I'm not even kidding.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. But it yeah, it's like they got it and I was like, oh, that's the shit.
fux mcclit: Yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: And then they were, caught and I was like, okay, yeah, they just feel bad for the picture. And then it became very,
fux mcclit: They feel bad for the best pitcher of baseball right now.
JohhnyCAGE: Then it became very clear to me what happened.
fux mcclit: That's awesome.
JohhnyCAGE: And then I got to mansplain it to Jenny. So I kind of, I, I, yeah, I was like, Oh, excuse what happened is it's like, they're clapping because like, even though it sucks, it's like, you got, you got respect.
fux mcclit: You had the hand on the neck, sunglasses on.
fux mcclit: He beat the record.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. You got respect the record.
fux mcclit: Yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: ah Yeah. And then ah there's, there's inflatable dinosaur.
fux mcclit: That's funny. It's like a wrestling clap you know for wrestlers when they do when when they're end of a good run.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. You know,
JohhnyCAGE: yeah you know
JohhnyCAGE: Exactly. I was like, all right, shut up, shut up. But ah yeah i internally, i was like, I'm a fucking fraud. Like, I don't even know. Because we got, we but we just got day of seats.
JohhnyCAGE: And then we didn't our seats. We just walked to, like, the food area. just
fux mcclit: Oh man, didn't watch the innings? Like that's, you know, people are like locked in.
JohhnyCAGE: No, no, no. Like, no, like, we we just got food and then we just stayed, like, you know, where the where the total back end is, or you know, where they hit the home runs and shit, where all the restaurants are, and we were just hanging out there the whole time.
fux mcclit: Yeah, yeah, you were just sitting in like the food area?
JohhnyCAGE: i was like, this is way nicer. Fuck sitting in.
JohhnyCAGE: We found, we basically, yeah, we we found an opening with our food, like, at the very front, and we just sat there, and I was like, you know what, I'm good to just stand here for the next seven innings. Like, I'm good. And that's what I did.
JohhnyCAGE: But,
fux mcclit: I'm good.
JohhnyCAGE: I'm fucking good.
Steve-O: I'm good. I'm going catch them all in my cup.
JohhnyCAGE: No, no. But those um those inflatable dinosaur mascots that I always forget exist because they're not the fanatic.
IGOTTADUMP: Awesome.
JohhnyCAGE: They were like popping off all around us in that section.
fux mcclit: Man, really?
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. Like because the ones like a big giraffe or whatever, and he would just stop and then basically use his whole inflatable head as a fucking hammer and just scare people.
fux mcclit: That's awesome.
JohhnyCAGE: And then I posted some of the videos and the weird yellow dinosaur like was assaulting me, dude.
fux mcclit: It's actually kind of sick. That's sick.
JohhnyCAGE: He was all up on me. And I was like, all right.
IGOTTADUMP: awesome
JohhnyCAGE: It's pretty fun.
IGOTTADUMP: You deserve that.
JohhnyCAGE: But I did.
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: because i he Because he found out I was a fraud. He knew.
IGOTTADUMP: How dare you?
fux mcclit: That's sick.
JohhnyCAGE: How dare I? But no, I think we've done pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. pretty pretty good
IGOTTADUMP: ah Yeah, I think we burned through everything that we've seen, watched, or played throughout the week.
JohhnyCAGE: yeah
IGOTTADUMP: That leaves us with current events, and it looks like Microsoft is selling everything.
JohhnyCAGE: current event.
JohhnyCAGE: Dude, that's wild.
IGOTTADUMP: I right?
JohhnyCAGE: I think so. ah
IGOTTADUMP: You know what this is called, Devin, in the corporate world? This is called creating value by selling off shitty assets.
JohhnyCAGE: What's it called?
JohhnyCAGE: Uh, yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: That's what it's called.
JohhnyCAGE: So, so Microsoft. So again, what's a little notable is, uh, their Xbox showcase is good. People, a lot of people were like, man, that was a good showcase. lot of things are worth checking out gears.
fux mcclit: Thank you.
JohhnyCAGE: Halo. That's a new Xenua game. That's pretty cool. And then like the day after, Asha Sharma, who's like the new CEO of Xbox, uh, signed Asha and Matt for Matt booty.
JohhnyCAGE: Uh, we're like, Oh, uh, They're making like a three percent. Oh, God, I know what the term is.
IGOTTADUMP: Thank you.
JohhnyCAGE: But basically, they're making like three cents for every dollar that they so that they make. um They've lost like five hundred million dollars since, like not counting Activision or something like that. Like their profits are in the dirt.
JohhnyCAGE: And they basically said, hey, yeah, get ready. We're going to make some changes. Hey, you know, ah some some tough decisions are going to to be made. So a lot of people knew something was going to happen. But as of now, I think officially.
JohhnyCAGE: The head of Xbox Game Studios has stepped down, who he replaced the guy back in 2024. So he's only been in job like two years and he's like, I'm done. Uh, ah chief of staff, Luis O'Connor stepped down.
JohhnyCAGE: Mark Gordon, who's the Treyarch CEO or president of Treyarch, like one of the call of duty studios leaves, retires. They officially shut down compulsion games that did South of midnight, the most recent one they did.
fux mcclit: Damn.
Steve-O: was an award-winning game.
JohhnyCAGE: Uh, yeah. Uh, and, um,
Steve-O: that did That did big at the end of the year last year.
JohhnyCAGE: And apparently Double Fine, Ninja Theory, Arcane, like ah basically a lot of the studios are in this weird like position where there's a good chance they're going to get shut down.
JohhnyCAGE: i think some of them are negotiating with Xbox to try to sell themselves as opposed to just to close down.
fux mcclit: So why is Bungie still alive? What's going on there?
JohhnyCAGE: I mean, people, I think people think,
Steve-O: that's over on ah on Sony. Yeah.
fux mcclit: Oh, yeah, that's Sony now.
Steve-O: yeah
fux mcclit: Sorry.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. Also, I think Sony basically said they're going to like, I think this week is Xbox.
fux mcclit: Ran for it.
JohhnyCAGE: And I think next week you're going to see Bungie get gutted a little bit, which is I don't know.
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: I don't know whose fault that is, frankly.
IGOTTADUMP: I think most of these companies are gutting their ancillary companies.
JohhnyCAGE: but Yeah, but Xbox is just kind of like, well, like, so what's really interesting, Steve, you posted a link where I don't know if it's official, but they were shut shutting down Ninja Theory.
JohhnyCAGE: that just announced the game a week ago.
Steve-O: yeah
JohhnyCAGE: um
fux mcclit: Wow.
JohhnyCAGE: So that's interesting. And you know, i revisited the trailer and I was like, you know what? Cause there was something odd about it I think I remember talking about it And I was like, the first hell blade was like this kind of like,
Steve-O: and
JohhnyCAGE: not a budget, but it was like a smaller size game, but it looked gorgeous. And they got bought by Microsoft and then Hellblade 2 took forever to make, came out and apparently wasn't that good and didn't make any money.
JohhnyCAGE: Shocker. And then they came out with a new Hellblade just called Senua. And it was like super action based and like action focused. And it kind of seemed like, yeah, like Hellblade 2 pretty good, except like the there needed to be way more combat. So this seemed like a direct response to that.
JohhnyCAGE: But when I'm looking at it, again, like kind of with this, like, oh, they might shut down the studio. This really almost looks like a like a combat simulator, um like a roguelike almost, right?
Steve-O: Mm-hmm.
JohhnyCAGE: Where it's like, oh, here's combat scenarios that will put you in. Like, I don't think it's going to have that big story. At this point, I don't even know if it's going to come out. You know, that seems a bit odd. But yeah, just... um
JohhnyCAGE: It's not that I'm surprised. i don't think any of us are can possibly be surprised by what state Xbox is in. But apparently i was also reading that they were also considering spinning off Xbox into like its completely own thing.
JohhnyCAGE: um Kind of like how like LinkedIn is technically Microsoft, but you know, you don't see Microsoft.
fux mcclit: but without the Microsoft branding.
JohhnyCAGE: linked in Yeah. And they said to possibly even sell off. Like, just like, oh, we'll just spin this off into its own subsidiary and just do its own thing. Like, we don't we don't really care what you do.
JohhnyCAGE: Just be this thing, and then, I don't know, maybe we'll sell you. Which is dire straits, suppose.
Steve-O: Yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: Sucks to work at Xbox. And again, you think like, oh they have a game coming out, so they're safe. But, I mean, if Ninja Theory is getting shut down in active development, that's pretty...
Steve-O: They made a big deal about us being like Xbox is back.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
Steve-O: Put the name in all caps.
JohhnyCAGE: Well, I was saying, I was like, I, there's just something about all of that stuff that like didn't sit well. It just seemed super performative and it all is to an extent, but it was just like, they're like, we're listening to the fans.
Steve-O: Yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: We capitalize the, like things that don't matter.
Steve-O: They might have been listening to the PlayStation fans.
JohhnyCAGE: They were like, oh, we're going to bring back the blades, the blade UI. And they were, I was like, okay, like, why does that matter?
Steve-O: No, I love the blades, but that's a that's long pastime.
JohhnyCAGE: Right.
JohhnyCAGE: Those were the things that they were making these like kind of like useless, not you like pointless changes that just were going back to exclusivity for one game a year.
Steve-O: Hmm.
JohhnyCAGE: ah Okay. Yeah. And you know, so yeah, and they did it.
Steve-O: It's all bluster. It's all bluster.
fux mcclit: Forza Horizon couldn't carry.
JohhnyCAGE: No, couldn't carry.
Steve-O: I genuinely think they were thinking Forza Horizon 6 was going to save the company.
JohhnyCAGE: so
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, so like, but like, isn't that crazy?
fux mcclit: As good as it was.
JohhnyCAGE: So think about this. They're they're putting out a game, Gears, Gears of War E-Day. They're a big flagship game for this year, pretty much.
Steve-O: Yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: Rumor has it cost up to $400 million to make, which i you know I don't know, right?
Steve-O: Jesus Christ.
JohhnyCAGE: The budget's crazy. They pull it from stores where it will sell the most copies, and they're just putting this whole they're just putting this game out to die and be unsuccessful.
JohhnyCAGE: And it's like...
Steve-O: This is the dial of destiny.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, but that even that eventually at least made it to PlayStation.
Steve-O: Indiana Jones.
Steve-O: No, not talking about the game. I'm talking about the movie where like that Indiana Jones movie was so expensive.
JohhnyCAGE: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry.
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah, no, no, no. The games is a circle of circles, Isn't that what that is?
JohhnyCAGE: Circle of life. Yeah.
Steve-O: Circle of circles.
JohhnyCAGE: Circle of circles. Yeah, yeah.
Steve-O: It's circle something.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. But like, I don't know. it's just the, and again, it's like, right, they'll do that. And they said it's never coming to PlayStation.
Steve-O: I think this is why Phil left.
JohhnyCAGE: until it does
Steve-O: I genuinely think he just he saw what they were trying to push for Xbox.
JohhnyCAGE: He said, can't deal with you.
Steve-O: And he's like, I can't do this. This is my baby.
JohhnyCAGE: Well, it really just sounds like they just they're they they're flailing. You know, they're like, we don't really know.
Steve-O: Mm.
JohhnyCAGE: where They even said it as much in that like 100 day update. They're like the next 100 days. We're just going to make a lot of changes. Focus on. High profile IP. um Gone. yeah No more experimental IP bullshit, which is like good goodbye. Double fine. Really? Send you a ninja theory like goodbye with your experimental bullshit.
JohhnyCAGE: Compulsion Games, too experimental and weird for us. Goodbye. Like, if it's not Halo or Gears or Forza or, you know, Fable, I don't think Xbox wants to make it.
Steve-O: yeah
JohhnyCAGE: Which is, I'm not going to say bad business, but they're like, yeah, let's just focus on all this.
Steve-O: They have no interest in creating IP.
JohhnyCAGE: like and
Steve-O: Yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, at this point, I mean... And why should they? That's what you spend all your billions on. To buy established IP. Do something with it. And... don't know.
JohhnyCAGE: It's going to be ugly. It's going to be...
Steve-O: dead. They're gone.
JohhnyCAGE: It's to bum me out. They're dead.
Steve-O: They're dead.
IGOTTADUMP: They're dead.
JohhnyCAGE: You're dead. Matt Boone, you're dead.
IGOTTADUMP: They're going to die. They're going to get beaten with the bat.
JohhnyCAGE: Undead games, you're dead. Yeah, like...
Steve-O: Speaking of dead, pour one out for Anthony Head.
JohhnyCAGE: Ugh.
JohhnyCAGE: That one hurt, man.
IGOTTADUMP: Oh. Yeah, that's rough.
Steve-O: Yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: That one really bummed me out. I was... I didn't realize that um Michelle Trachtenberg was this year. I thought that was a while ago.
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah, me either. three and or Three this year.
Steve-O: That's crazy. i thought that was last year. Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: Three this year from Buffy.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. Dude, somebody put Sarah Michelle Gellar in bubble wrap, dude.
IGOTTADUMP: You think it was the master?
JohhnyCAGE: I think it was just the Watchers Guild in general.
IGOTTADUMP: Oh, fuck them.
Steve-O: a
IGOTTADUMP: They were the worst.
JohhnyCAGE: adam It was Spike.
IGOTTADUMP: Need to blow them up again.
JohhnyCAGE: He's just eight. is eight ah Fucking Giles. Yeah, that like that one hurt, I think, the most, I think. and Not to not to like to realize it by making, but that one affected me more, I guess.
IGOTTADUMP: You know what his greatest moment was on the show? You guys are going to say a lot of things like the bat.
JohhnyCAGE: When he lost when he lost to darts to Ted Lasso. Oh, wrong.
IGOTTADUMP: no, no, no, no.
JohhnyCAGE: Wrong show. My bad.
IGOTTADUMP: I'm talking about Buffy here. Talking about that scene.
JohhnyCAGE: Oh, his best his best moment.
IGOTTADUMP: That scene where he got upset at Buffy for eating all the jelly donuts.
Steve-O: That's very, that's a good one.
IGOTTADUMP: I always say order extra jelly and there's never any here.
JohhnyCAGE: Dude.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, you're making me bummed out all over again.
IGOTTADUMP: I know. I really love that scene.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: What?
JohhnyCAGE: he Yeah, it made me want to rewatch that one.
Steve-O: Mm.
JohhnyCAGE: it Like, I don't, maybe it's just the rule of threes or whatever, but I was like, all right, I might be due. I might be due for a Buffy rewatch.
IGOTTADUMP: go angel too.
Steve-O: Rule of threes isn't supposed to fall in the same show or movie.
JohhnyCAGE: Anything to keep...
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah, that's that's that's a a whole other thing.
JohhnyCAGE: It's true, But I'm just saying, like, I was like, well...
Steve-O: That's a poltergeist curse.
JohhnyCAGE: Oh.
IGOTTADUMP: yeah, that is a poltergeist curse.
JohhnyCAGE: you know what's You know what? i don't Did Joss Whedon say anything about it?
IGOTTADUMP: He can. He's in like a bunker somewhere or something.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, but come on, man.
IGOTTADUMP: Can't talk about anything.
JohhnyCAGE: Rupert Grint. Yeah, did he...
IGOTTADUMP: He probably killed him.
Steve-O: Oh, dude, no.
IGOTTADUMP: I don't know. That's just me thinking out loud.
Steve-O: um
IGOTTADUMP: Sorry.
Steve-O: It also looks like Doctor Who is getting pulled. They said, do you know what?
IGOTTADUMP: Oh, did he who?
Steve-O: It's not working.
JohhnyCAGE: So they're they're doing what I do think is actually kind of interesting. they're They're just like, this isn't working. They're doing a creative reset. um Essentially, think about like, know I don't think it'll be for nearly as long, but like think about like remember when it ended and then it came back with, you know, Eccleston.
Steve-O: Yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: It's probably what they're they're they're looking to do.
IGOTTADUMP: You know, it's funny you bring that up, Devin, because I've heard i heard something recently about a Night of the Seven Kingdoms, the show that we both really like quite a bit.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: Now listen to this. it this Listen
IGOTTADUMP: to this kooky idea, okay? So the creator of the show wants to have three seasons of this show. And then he wants to take a 10 year break.
JohhnyCAGE: Oh, yeah, yeah. So we can age up, right?
IGOTTADUMP: And then he wants to make three seasons more. And then he wants to take another 10 year break and make three seasons more after that.
JohhnyCAGE: That irritates me.
Steve-O: that's that's not That's not feasible. That's not how that works.
JohhnyCAGE: that's all That's not how this works.
IGOTTADUMP: Steve, you're, you're, you're, you're you youve ripped all your hair out right now.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: I can see you.
Steve-O: I'm blown away.
IGOTTADUMP: you're you're You got up and walked away and sat back down like Ice Cube in War of the Worlds.
Steve-O: in real the world, yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah, you can't believe what I just said.
Steve-O: Taking my glasses off.
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah, you took your glasses off.
Steve-O: That's too long. That's too long. And also three seasons?
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah, yeah.
Steve-O: Come on.
JohhnyCAGE: Like, listen, as much as I love that kid, who who I think is great, like House of the Dragon recast it three times in one season, you know, like just just recast, bro.
Steve-O: Gamers, just put on prosthetics. Just old man makeup.
IGOTTADUMP: I respect the audacity.
Steve-O: I can say some ridiculous things, Chris.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: I don't know, but you don't, you, you were.
Steve-O: Chris, I'm going to make a movie that never ends.
IGOTTADUMP: yeah ah
Steve-O: It's just going to be a forever movie.
IGOTTADUMP: Okay. Do it.
Steve-O: We start filming now and it ends never.
IGOTTADUMP: Motherfucker.
IGOTTADUMP: He's got money. This guy's got HBO. They might I don't know. don't know. I don't know.
Steve-O: No, you don't know.
IGOTTADUMP: i don't know.
Steve-O: Got that Paramount money now.
IGOTTADUMP: They got that Paramount money. Who knows?
Steve-O: Got that Paramount money.
IGOTTADUMP: Who knows?
Steve-O: Devin, what is this social reckoning teaser?
JohhnyCAGE: Uh, it's the sequel to the social network.
IGOTTADUMP: Speaking of which, sequels of 10-year-old movies...
JohhnyCAGE: Uh, I think I'll be honest. Most of these trailers I didn't even watch. I was just like, ah, okay, I'll get to it. And then I never did, but,
JohhnyCAGE: The most notable thing about this is apparently Aaron Sorkin spent three days trying to convince Jesse Eisenberg to come back. Three days. And he's like, no, I refuse because he cited he's sick and tired of people coming up to him with business cards that say, like, I'm the CEO bitch or whatever. He's like, I can't stand it.
JohhnyCAGE: I hate this character. I hate the guy. i refuse.
IGOTTADUMP: Respect. Respect.
Steve-O: Mm-hmm.
JohhnyCAGE: which Which I get, but I just think it's funny.
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: Fucking three days is like, bro, I'm not doing it. It's like, all right, fine.
IGOTTADUMP: Have you heard Mark Strong's voice in this, though? Oh, my God, dude.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, I mean, Mark Strong, even though he seems like a nut, he's good. Good actor.
IGOTTADUMP: is.
JohhnyCAGE: It's just you have to be if you're going to be like that, right?
IGOTTADUMP: He's good.
JohhnyCAGE: But.
IGOTTADUMP: What do you think of this trailer, dude?
JohhnyCAGE: oh but it's It feels cheap because it's not Jesse Eisenberg, but it's still Aaron Sorkin, right?
JohhnyCAGE: it's it's never It's everything.
IGOTTADUMP: I think it's, I think, I think it's still prussian and relevant to make a movie about Mark Zuckerberg.
JohhnyCAGE: It's just a different actor.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, he's... a I think it's going to be good Will it be... as as respected as as the other one. I don't know.
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah, no, that's that's a whole other thing.
JohhnyCAGE: You know, this almost feels like this almost feels like a... um Oh, man. It would have worked so much better if I could remember the name of the movie. um The movie with Benicio Del Toro, where he plays like the badass Mexican cartel guy.
IGOTTADUMP: Sicario?
JohhnyCAGE: this feels like Sicario day Saladarado or whatever, you know, whatever the fuck was called.
IGOTTADUMP: Slaughter, I know.
JohhnyCAGE: Right. It's like, it's good. It's good. It's, it's a lot of the same people, but like, I just couldn't give a shit. And, uh, I don't I don't know.
JohhnyCAGE: Let's see.
Steve-O: What's whale fall?
JohhnyCAGE: Uh, well falls about a story. It's a book where this guy gets swallowed by a whale and he has to,
Steve-O: Pinocchio
JohhnyCAGE: No, it's a real, but it's like, it's a real, it's a realistic, like, what if you get swallowed by a whale?
IGOTTADUMP: uh bible
Steve-O: Bible. Yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: And this guy's like trying to survive being inside of a whale. And, uh, you don't think of the Martian, but it's a whale instead of Mars.
Steve-O: You just swim at the blowhole. Come on.
Steve-O: Mmm.
IGOTTADUMP: The tagline is survivors survive.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. I mean, you'd be pretty mad if you were inside of a whale, right?
IGOTTADUMP: I just wait to get pooped out, man.
JohhnyCAGE: So you just wait until you become stomach acid.
IGOTTADUMP: Yeah.
JohhnyCAGE: Like imagine if the entire movie was just you getting sucked up into that thing and nope.
IGOTTADUMP: Just hang out.
IGOTTADUMP: Oh, man. No, that thing sucked.
JohhnyCAGE: you know what I'm saying? Yeah. That thing definitely seemed like it sucked.
IGOTTADUMP: That was a whole nother. was whole nother bag of bones.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: I'm going to wail though.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah. Uh, Hey, devil may cry gets renewed for a third and final season. i saw season two. It's great. Um, I think three and done. i think that's, that's perfect.
Steve-O: Nice tight three.
JohhnyCAGE: It kind of, yeah it definitely just seems like we're just doing like we're doing devil may cry one, two, and three.
Steve-O: That sounds awesome.
IGOTTADUMP: trace.
JohhnyCAGE: Like that's it. Like, I don't think timeline wise we're getting anything really past that little block of time.
Steve-O: Maybe they'll do the Castlevania cheat code and add the little subtitle and we'll be like, oh, now we're going to do four five.
JohhnyCAGE: o that's true yeah hero's revenge and you're like actually sick uh that's been out yeah think it was last year um there was there was two seasons and there there might be i don't know if anyone saw the second like i
Steve-O: Here's another one, whatever. hmm.
IGOTTADUMP: Where's the sequel to the Castlevania show?
Steve-O: They did one last year, wasn't it? Or the year before? Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: I thought there was another season of that still.
Steve-O: There's two of them.
IGOTTADUMP: yeah No, no, I thought there was going to be a third.
Steve-O: There might be. That's a good question. Yeah, i feel like the second season of that wasn't as popular.
JohhnyCAGE: it's tough because liked that first season.
Steve-O: I think it came out around the same time as um season two of a Severance, which I think really kind of muted it.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah, it got co-opted for sure.
IGOTTADUMP: Got
JohhnyCAGE: And i was like, oh, sorry.
Steve-O: Yeah. Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: cock-blocked by Severance.
Steve-O: yeah
JohhnyCAGE: And then ah Chris, you so you saw this trailer for Onslaught, this Apple, hey I don't know, it's an movie.
IGOTTADUMP: I did, yes.
JohhnyCAGE: What did you think of it?
IGOTTADUMP: Dipp-dipp-dipp-dipp-dipp-dipp-dipp-dipp.
JohhnyCAGE: I can't tell if it's like, if it's quality, if it kind of seems like, I don't say budget, but like.
IGOTTADUMP: All I know is from what I've been seeing from Apple TV is they've been really putting money into everything. Like all their production seems to be going up.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: They're getting a lot of big actors, but this is an A24 production too.
JohhnyCAGE: Yeah.
IGOTTADUMP: So that has its own weight to it. I just have no interest in seeing this.
JohhnyCAGE: ah Okay, all right. No, fair enough.
IGOTTADUMP: I don't know, man.
JohhnyCAGE: she It's just like a, it's like about a, like a female sniper who has like brutal PTSD, which is not uninteresting.
IGOTTADUMP: the
IGOTTADUMP: Right.
JohhnyCAGE: Let's see. Annie Taylor Joy cast in the new Lord of the Rings movie, The Hunt for Gollum. I'm not going to lie.
IGOTTADUMP: Gotta get her in everything.

IGOTTADUMP: She fits the world, too. She looks like an alien.
JohhnyCAGE: She fits the world. I haven't seen her in an in um in a minute.

JohhnyCAGE: And I'll be honest, if you guys saw it, but she like showed up ah in the Argentina World Cup game.

JohhnyCAGE: Man, I don't know. i'm we're I'm very curious if I'm going be hardwired to hate this this Hunt for Gollum movie. Because it's like unnecessary.
JohhnyCAGE: They're doing it just to keep the rights, essentially.
Steve-O: Well, dude, it's like Predator. They get like a squad of like grunts, military grunts, and they're in the jungle and they're hunting down Golem.
Steve-O: Like it's going to be exciting, dude, because he's invisible.
JohhnyCAGE: But it...

IGOTTADUMP: It is good. You have to admit, though, this good casting.
Steve-O: It's good casting.

JohhnyCAGE: You're, you make me sick.
IGOTTADUMP: yeah you You just submitted to it.
