Speaker
You're listening to the Sleepy Games Podcast.
00:00:32
Speaker
Well hello there, yet again. Welcome to Sleepy Games Podcast. I am one of your hosts, Sleepy John. With me is the man, the legend, the absolute extraordinaire, James Jimmy Games.
00:00:53
Speaker
You know you know i love but the name Jimmy. Thank you. I don't actually know if you do or not. Do you hate it? i don't like Jimmy. yeah you don't even like jimmy all right well that'll be a one and done unless i forget in the future it might do it again by accident i apologize in advance but anyway it's gonna be back gonna be on the show excited for this episode um very unique ish episode we're doing but before we go we dive in uh you want to bring up something Yeah, so there's a a couple things.
Copyright Concerns
00:01:28
Speaker
Uh-oh. So the first thing want to talk about ah is is something that we we we do on the show quite a bit, is is music. ah And obviously, you know to any listeners, you're probably familiar with how we we open with little song snippets, right? Like...
00:01:45
Speaker
and And to be clear, like i try to the the way the way that we do it is like I'm trying to basically have just enough the song to make you want more. right It makes you maybe want to look into who it is. If it's something that's more obscure, you'll be like, oh, like I want to download this on my Spotify or whatever, right like so that to increase you know listenership of these songs.
00:02:07
Speaker
But recently, i guess because of our usage with that, they Spotify has gotten in touch with us. Supposedly, there might be some copyright infringement because of it.
00:02:18
Speaker
ah The show is technically based out of Canada because that's where it uploads from and like we have kind of different copyright laws than the states and that everything that we've done as far as I know is fair use. I mean I always credit the artists, you know, I always do all that kind of stuff but that there is a possibility ah because that's the argument I've made. We're waiting to hear back. but There's a possibility they'll start taking down a lot of our episodes.
00:02:46
Speaker
No, you're saying so. Yeah, so, I mean, i'm hoping it won't get to that point. I mean, I told him, I was like, this is fair use. Like, i don't I don't see where there's an issue with it. Like, you know, again, like... is because we have the so It's because we have the song playing on for too long. Is that why? No.
00:03:03
Speaker
no it doesn't even matter. Like, it it doesn't matter. if If you're playing it for even five seconds or ten seconds, so it doesn't matter. Like, they'll they'll say that that's sometimes enough because I think they get AI trackers that actually go and look for ah those little sound bites and stuff, right? So...
00:03:20
Speaker
um I don't know. I mean, again, the the songs always pertain to the episode. like And, you know, I think that if anyone were to listen the episodes, i especially under fair use, I don't see whether there's a copyright infringement.
00:03:36
Speaker
I guess with one Possible exception when we upload the entire Iron Maiden sign iron maiden song Tame a Land back for our Dune episodes. That said, it's such an obscure song, I'm sure Iron Maiden wouldn't even give a shit. It would probably, again, increase their listenership of it.
00:03:53
Speaker
And we did technically review it ahead time, which, again, makes it kind of... Now how they see it. And I'm sure none of the artists have it. The thing that I'm most, like, I guess...
00:04:08
Speaker
surprised about, i guess, is that I thought this might become a problem if we got to, you know, if we had a couple thousand listeners something like that. Like, we're were pretty still small time here at the Sleeping Games podcast. I was like, we're already dealing with this? It's wild.
00:04:24
Speaker
It just means we're doing something right. I guess so. yeah That's the way to look at it. So, and I guess with that out of the way, since I'm already kind of talking about music, and this is, I guess, more original music, had some feedback.
00:04:40
Speaker
on the song that I made it on the are was it the the Magic and Music Vol. 2 there, my little song opener. Yeah. And and and actually, like I don't know if it was meant as a bit of an insult, but I took it as the utmost praise.
00:04:55
Speaker
ah Do you remember on the boys' show, ah Soldier Boy, he's got his little music number that he does? yeah Yes. Yes. I sent that video to a number of friends because i love that I love that little music video he does. Yeah.
00:05:08
Speaker
Excellent, so you know exactly what I'm talking about. Yes. I had i had somebody basically compare me to him in how singing. I was just like, I don't sing.
00:05:20
Speaker
You couldn't have complimented me more. That's so funny.
00:05:26
Speaker
It is like the way he raps in that. It is, yeah. It was a very, very 80s rapping style. Yeah, so I guess I guess i sound a bit like Soulja Boy, which I think that that's kind of a green light. Soulja Boy.
00:05:46
Speaker
Yeah, I should just should just look into it. Maybe that's my calling, man. ha ha ha!
00:05:53
Speaker
ah With actually with that out of the the way though, i did it I did actually take some time. fixed, like I kind of fixed the audio in the song. Like I made some edits, some changes and stuff like that. I actually got a a few people saying it didn't sound too bad, I guess. Nice.
00:06:13
Speaker
but I to might throw that up. so I'll probably throw it up. Singularly because then that'll be the only thing that gets taken. yeah True. True. major Like I, and the thing is too, is like our background music,
00:06:31
Speaker
And if Spotify tries to take me down on that, we have the rights. I hate fucking king thing. Yeah, i never want to hear of out of that we know I know we do. Yeah. terrible this We're taking them to court.
00:06:43
Speaker
Oh, it's ridiculous. Ridiculous. But yeah, that's ah that's that's basically me little rant ah for today. Hopefully none of the episodes get taken down. I'll keep you and the listeners up to date as as i hear more.
00:06:56
Speaker
ah so But so far, I guess no news is good news and that's that's kind of where we're at. So...
00:07:04
Speaker
So with that out of the way, ahead did you watch anything? Well, you were saying, speaking of news, i want to say that because yes so this past week, a lot people
CinemaCon Highlights and New Trailers
00:07:14
Speaker
don't know this. This this isn't really this isn really general knowledge to people.
00:07:18
Speaker
um But there's there's a thing called CinemaCon. that that happens every year where it takes place in Vegas and you kind of have good movie studios showcasing to movie or theater owners, you know, AMC, Regal, Cinemark, stuff like that.
00:07:37
Speaker
ah Like the latest like films coming out. So so they're trying to promote it so they can have the most theaters buy up their screen or buy up screens for their film. um So I don't know if you noticed, there's a lot of trailers that came out this past week.
00:07:52
Speaker
And it's it's because of CinemaCon. Right. Happening. so So a lot of trailers, they'll show at the ah the presentation everything, but then it can only be like exclusive for a short while before that they they show it off to the public because the word gets out real quick.
00:08:08
Speaker
Right. and And the one the one that and i I saw came out that I'm excited for, that that the I'm sure both of us will be watching for the show, is the new Superman movie.
00:08:21
Speaker
And it kind of showed, and and I know you're a dog lover, you're lover of dogs. yeah yeah You have written you yeah yeah have your own pup. yeah ah And you kind of see in this trailer how Crypto the dog is supposed to be like.
00:08:41
Speaker
Okay. um Because, you know, when when when when you do what James Gunn and you know his CGI characters, you know, he usually has a lot lot of hits with that. Like, like he knows he knows he knows his shit when it comes to CGI characters or animals. um and this one's no different.
00:09:00
Speaker
In the trailer, he is literally a dog that acts like a dog that has superpowers. it It is hilarious because super because it makes Superman more relatable.
00:09:13
Speaker
That's the problem always have with Superman is he's the most like unrelatable superhero because he's too powerful. He's not even human. Can't really connect with him. Like he doesn't feel, i mean like he'll show it sometimes but like felt like there's something that's missing there.
00:09:30
Speaker
He's basically Goku. Yeah, yeah she good here yeah, you go, there you go. But it shows the scene where like you have Crypto like literally jumping on him like while he's already, he already got the shit rocks out of him. So like he already has these broken bones and and Crypto the dog's still jumping on him. And he's in agonizing pain, like, Crypto, stop, ow, this hurts, ow. I'm like, um like every every dog owner will relate to that.
00:09:58
Speaker
Every single one and then like just that little scene is just it just makes you remain more relatable I'm like wow this little scene makes all the other Superman movie I've watched like that like since I've been alive I guess since uh but we've only had two yeah we only had two like standalone super Superman movies um come out and just that scene made him more relatable than all everything in those movies Oh my god damn. When did Superman get a dog though? I mean, you not like this is news to me. It's in the comics.
00:10:31
Speaker
Must have been more recent comics than here. No, I think i think he was created in like the 60s or 70s or something. Okay, well that's definitely some history there. Well, you saw that there was a movie that came out a few years ago called The the Life of Super Pets, or DC Super Pets.
00:10:49
Speaker
Right. It was like a it was an anime. I didn't see it, but I am. ah I'm aware of it. Yeah. so you So he already has, I guess, somewhat of a following, I guess. But that iteration of the character is much different than what's being shown in the movie, because like,
00:11:04
Speaker
In this, it's very much a dog that acts like a dog that has superpowers, which is great. like You know can't really tame a dog all the time. you know He's going to do his own thing. you know He's going to act little crazy, especially if you're thinking how old he is.
00:11:17
Speaker
He'd be more in the puppy mode. Yep.
00:11:22
Speaker
So it makes me more excited to see it is if I want to bring it up. But um yeah, there's a lot of cool trailers that came out. So I tell everyone, like, go online, look for look out for the new trailers. There's lot cool stuff coming out this year that I think you should see in theaters.
00:11:40
Speaker
What was another one?
Movie and TV Show Discussions
00:11:41
Speaker
Did you ever watch Tron? Did I watch Tron? Come on. You knew there was new Tron coming? I didn't know there was a new Tron coming. ah Does it still have... ah What's his name? Is there Jeff Bridges or whatever? Yes, he's back.
00:11:54
Speaker
okay Yeah, he's back. And I know the last... I know like the last movie... You probably saw that one. didn't think it was that good. um Tron Legacy. I mean, I liked it. like it's I thought that they were trying to take it... I thought the first half was good. The second half, I thought, was horrible.
00:12:12
Speaker
ah James... A movie like that... I'm definitely less sober by the second half. That's all I remember it being pretty good. yeah, yeah. The best part of that movie, I thought, was the soundtrack because it was Daft Punk doing the soundtrack.
00:12:30
Speaker
Right. ah And I think that who's doing the soundtrack for this one is a Nine Inch Nails. So your boy tra your boy Trent Reznor. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I like that. I like that. He's done so so many movies recently.
00:12:44
Speaker
he He did my favorite film score last year with Challengers. He definitely knows his shit. So I'm excited for him to tackle Tron.
00:12:54
Speaker
but yeah But yeah. Sorry. I just want to bring that up real quick. cause i feel It's not general knowledge that people know what CinemaCon is. I just want to... Yeah, I mean, I only knew about it because you told me about it last week. Otherwise, I had no idea. it's a Yeah. it Yeah.
00:13:09
Speaker
So exciting times. So, yeah, a lot of good stuff on the horizon i'm excited that I'm excited to talk about when they come out on the show. ah And so as far as i what I watched this week, I watched two finales of shows.
00:13:26
Speaker
I watched The White Lotus. Right. um which which Which was just... It was it was it was good. like There were some highs. I was ah i always excited that Sam Rockwell came into this season.
00:13:39
Speaker
Some my favorite actors. and then Yeah, he's good. He's good. Yes. And then the ending... I guess it wasn't really... I kind of wish they showed more. ah feel like a lot of things ended abruptly. It was like they kind of...
00:13:53
Speaker
Tied things up a little too quickly. And for how long the episode was, I feel like it might have been a little rushed because of that.
00:14:02
Speaker
But... But, I mean... Overall, because you know it took place in Thailand and and everything, and some some crazy shit happened. you know if if you if you If you like White Lotus, if you like any of the seasons or any the episodes going up to it, you're going to like this.
00:14:20
Speaker
But um the one I want to talk about, really, is a show called 1923. You ever heard of this show?
00:14:28
Speaker
and No, but in really bad numbers. Ha ha ha! ah You son of a bitch. um so So this one has Harrison Ford. It's like ah it's like a very Western show. um oh yeah. I think I think i did it here. but So it's season two of this show.
00:14:43
Speaker
And... There were a lot of... i I hate when I can tell when the writing is bad in a show and it kind of takes me out of the show when future episodes come out because I'm like, well, if you didn't write it this way, then this could easily been avoided, but you made these characters act stupid for no reason.
00:15:04
Speaker
And i hate I hate when I point that out in a show because and and it kind of it leaves a bad taste in my mouth and I keep thinking about it. like, oh, this could have been so much better. Yeah. now So it leads to the finale.
00:15:16
Speaker
because And they did things a certain way with the writing. And I know they did it a certain way just they could have... they could they said they could elevate certain scenes so there's this whole thing where you had these these really smart care i thought were smart characters they were portrayed as smart characters that just did something so fucking dumb i'm like they wouldn't do that it made me so mad um and and they and they got killed for it but and they did definitely didn't deserve it it was so stupid but this happened and it led to the finale so the finale is almost two hours
00:15:52
Speaker
like a two-hour finale. That's like a movie in itself. Exactly. but which Which I'm okay with because I'm low-key loving Westerns and having a TV show that's very much a Western with Harrison Ford...
00:16:07
Speaker
you know is is a blessing at this point. um But yeah, so i this show really focuses on this love story and like how these characters were apart throughout this whole season.
00:16:21
Speaker
And like you knew at this finale they were going to together, you just didn't know how. And like the way it happens, it just feels like, ah, man, if it wasn't for this bad writing, I would really appreciate this more.
00:16:33
Speaker
but But if I'm like suspending my disbelief a little bit, it is a great scene because these actors are great. It's not their fault the writing's bad. They are acting their ass off here. ah and And it was a huge shootout type of finale. And you i have my boy, Timothy Dominette, who plays a great villain in the show. yeah I feel like he's been placed as a villain like ever since... ah mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't seen him as a villain since like, I mean, anything before Hot Fuzz.
00:17:03
Speaker
Like, was he a villain before Hot Fuzz? Maybe he was. But ever since Hot Fuzz. And then you, play sometimes I'll say something, yeah, I think you're, and then you look into it and you're like, oh. I know, oh, he's villain. I guess I just sit with him because he's played James Bond. I was like, oh, he probably played so many good guys after James Bond.
00:17:19
Speaker
Like, Hot Fives was like the one standout where he's like, well, we'll make him a villain. um I guess. But I feel like if you play a character like James Bond, though, like, I think that and of itself tells you you probably can be a good villain.
00:17:32
Speaker
Yeah. so it's So it's like maybe one day we'll see Daniel Craig as a villain. Yeah. even though Even though I think he played one before James Bond, but like, I'm curious to see him as a villain post-James Bond. Yeah, because I know Pierce Brosnan's done a couple of ah villainous roles since his James Bond days too, so...
00:17:50
Speaker
Yeah, I'm actually seeing some really good stuff with him now. There's a show called Mobland with him and Tom Hardy. Oh. Yeah, that's interesting. Yeah, it's... um You know Guy Ritchie?
00:18:02
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he he's the creator of it. Okay, yeah, that that'd be interesting. Mm-hmm. Okay. Yeah, these guys are definitely... I think Tom Hardy's been in a Guy Ritchie film before, but I don't think... I don't think Pierce Brosnan has...
00:18:19
Speaker
He fits it very well. But feel like I'm talking too much about these shows, but i like it was a lot of good TV this week. so um Especially with finales and the premiere of Mobland and everything. So if you need something new to watch, there's plenty. There you go. I just had a quick question. So you're talking about ah but talking about Harrison Ford. You're talking about Western.
00:18:43
Speaker
Yes. Is it better? than his best, probably best movie ever, which is also Western. Okay. Cowboys and Aliens.
00:18:54
Speaker
Oh my god. ah Which also has Daniel Craig in it. It also has Sam Rockwell. Look at look at how it all together, buddy. Look at those, look at those. That's so funny.
00:19:11
Speaker
I saw movie in theaters, I couldn't believe that. i had ah I got free tickets to see that in theaters. I think I was like, I think we were in like the front row or second row. You're a lucky duck. It made even a worse experience. You had to rip your hair all the way up.
00:19:27
Speaker
I enjoyed it front to ballet lately, start to finish. Yeah. ah I don't know why anybody would go into that movie expecting anything with a name.
00:19:38
Speaker
Cowboys and aliens. I was just like, so long as there's cowboys and there's aliens, I'm a happy man.
00:19:46
Speaker
but And I think Jon Favreau directed that movie. um when I want to say. That I could not tell you, but I don't know. like I enjoyed it. I mean, again, like my expectations were so freaking low. I was just like, I don't know. this is this It's going to be dumb, but it's going to cool.
00:20:03
Speaker
True. i mean i mean like I think that came out, I think that was a year in between or like where Daniel Craig was doing other movies other than Bond in between his Bond movies.
00:20:13
Speaker
Yeah, he did the Golden Compass and some stuff. for the Yeah, and he did um he did the Girl of the Dragon Tattoo. Right, right, right, right. Okay, we're really getting off on a tangent now. I know, I know. But anyway, you said you watched something this week?
00:20:28
Speaker
Yes, I watched something this week. I didn't watch the whole thing. I just watched ah two episodes of the new Netflix TV show, Devil May Cry. And you're a big fan of this game.
00:20:41
Speaker
ah Yeah, like yeah wouldn I wouldn't say I'm big fan. I am a fan of this game. like I played it back in the day on the PS2 is what I believe. I just remember the game being like just a lot of fun to play.
00:20:54
Speaker
i never did beat it. I think that that was those i was starting to get too old at that time. It's not like you had an entire summer you can take off and just be like, I'm going to beat this game. so Yeah.
00:21:06
Speaker
ah but But I just remember it being a very, very enjoyable game. so when I saw it on Netflix there, i was just like, oh, i was like that actually might be pretty cool. Like I said, two so far, I'm two episodes into it. I think I'm going to kind of reserve overall judgment until watched like all eight, obviously.
00:21:25
Speaker
The one thing I will say... Is this show is is dripping, it' like oozing with the 90s nostalgia. Like ah there there was one scene, I totally forgot these things even existed.
00:21:37
Speaker
Do you remember the dancing arcade games that had the arrows on the ground that you stomp around on? I totally forgot those were a thing. And I was just like, he was playing. Dude, Dana Stance Revolution. Come on. Yeah. Yeah. and So so i have ah I have a core memory with this because ah we we we own that. and ah we We own the pad for for for for your for your household Okay. We had it plugged into our PS2.
00:22:03
Speaker
um We had our favorite tracks to play or dance to and everything. but we got so into it because we we always would go to the Boardwalk um move boardwalk our Arcade and and those would always be the most popular arcade machines.
00:22:20
Speaker
like There would always be a line waiting for a person to go. I know very well. Yeah, and it's like, it's wild that like, I totally forgot those even existed until I saw it. I was like, oh yeah, those were like, those were a big thing.
00:22:34
Speaker
yeah But yeah, it's scott it's got other kind of throwbacks. Similar to that. There was one for Street Fighter 2 Turbo. And like, yeah, there's a couple out there. So it is very, very much dripping with that to the the nostalgia from decades gone by.
00:22:51
Speaker
Which I guess it's either you know good or bad, I guess, depending on your opinion on that. Yeah. but Otherwise, I mean, I will say it is a fun show to watch. ah Kind of fun, like the there the the game was, like the some of the action sequences are really cool.
00:23:08
Speaker
like So far, like I'm very much enjoying it. like i I would have binged it, I think. I just i didn't really quite have the time last weekend. ah the The weather just drastically improved here, so we're doing a lot of spring catch-up right now. so But yeah, like ah I'm excited for last six episodes.
00:23:29
Speaker
ah Hope it'll be good. And it's, ah yeah, like overall, I'd recommend the first two episodes, ah ah but I haven't seen the rest. So I'll keep you posted.
00:23:42
Speaker
Yes, please do. Because I used to, I mean, I didn't really play much of that game, but knew very much about it and how there are diehard fans of it. It's a cool concept.
00:23:54
Speaker
Yeah, like a the story I said, I wouldn't say it was Die Hard. i just I saw the title back in the day, I knew nothing about it. that's kind of cool game title. I bought it, and i was like, this is a fun game to play. so That's pretty much my history
Analysis of Iconic One-Shot Scenes
00:24:07
Speaker
with it. I can't say, I don't know if it... um i'm I'm sure there's other iterations of the game, too. like But I don't know anything beyond the the game that I played. It just... Yeah.
00:24:20
Speaker
Anyways. is it Is it theme time? Yes. ah Let's dive into the theme because I've been wanting to talk about this for a while now. but It was just a good excuse to to do it with the ah with the shows, Adolescence and Studio. Right. Make a whole but owe entire episode with one-shot takes. and I figured we can go into just like the best one-shot takes um You know, we kind of specified it needed to be like around two minutes or over to like to to qualify. um And there's a lot of them.
00:24:56
Speaker
I might have one not that might... the might skirt around that a Okay. Well, so, so, so when I was messaging you this week, I, the one I wanted to make sure, make sure, because I never heard this movie and I, I literally watched the first or I watched the beginning of the opening because that's when the one shot, one shot take happens.
00:25:17
Speaker
And, but I was like, i was watching more of it. i was like, I want to know what happens in this movie. It's kind of good. Right. And, uh, and that's the movie Snake Eyes with Nicolas Cage. Wait, like, and that's the thing is like, when I was watching the reviews, like some people, like a lot of people, I guess I didn't realize did not like that movie.
00:25:34
Speaker
Yeah. So but I think it's a great concept, though. Like where I mean, it's a very bottle type movie where like you're in the same place the whole the whole time. At least yeah from what I've watched so far, it's been you're in the same spot the whole time.
00:25:47
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, I remember, like because i watched the I watched that show originally, it came out, it would have been kind of like a VHS rental back in the day, because, again, i was was I've always kind of been a bit of a Nick Cage fan, so I was probably a little biased, I guess, that the movie isn't any good, but, I mean, I don't know, what I think that came out in, what, 97, 98 something like that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right around that time. Speaking of yeah.
00:26:10
Speaker
Yeah, so, and ah and I remember it being pretty good, but, yeah, I guess ah the general consensus is that it's not. ah Well, so so from from what i read was I think the ending left a bad a bad taste in people's mouths. So I haven't gotten there yet, so don't know what it is, but I am curious to see what happens.
00:26:30
Speaker
But as far as the one-shot take goes, I noticed, so it wasn't... ah because I thought it was like when it first started, it was ah was it was a one-shot take. Then I could tell it's like, okay, they cut it here.
00:26:42
Speaker
And then they were continuing the one-shot take, and I saw again, like, okay, they cut it here. But then after that second cut, it was a very extended long one, I think it was the longest one-shot take they did.
00:26:53
Speaker
Right. And that led up to this assassination. And once the assassination happened, that's when it cut. so and but but But that was like three or four minutes of ah straight following Nicolas Cage. Nicolas Cage doing his damn thing. And then ah him going to the the ah boxing ring, meeting up with Lieutenant Dan.
00:27:18
Speaker
And then ah I forget his real name. I've called him Lieutenant Dan. Gary Sinise. Thank you. Gary Sinise. Thank you. and then But yeah, it was like it was cool just because I haven't seen a one-shot take with Nicolas Cage.
00:27:31
Speaker
and you know Because he brings his own energy. Yes. It feels more frantic. It feels more in your face. and like you are You're captivated the whole time, even more so because of his performance. Yeah.
00:27:43
Speaker
So yeah, I was surprised I never saw that one. I mean, I guess because of the movie, but I was glad I saw um because i saw some top 10 list or whatever with that. I'm like, oh, with Nicolas Cage, I want to see this. And I'm glad I did because I see why that one's highly highlyly regarded now.
00:27:59
Speaker
Yeah, that but that makes sense. I mean, it's funny because like, i mean, you told me about that. and Like I had seen I was like, I totally like, I don't even think it was on my radar yeah that there was one shot takes and stuff. Right. it And I don't think it was quite analyzing movies to that degree back then. So yeah, i mean, for me now, like when when a one shot take is happening, I noticed within like 30 seconds.
00:28:22
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, it's especially, I mean, i think the more movies you watch, you see just the challenge of of doing something like that, especially some of the the older ones.
00:28:34
Speaker
i think there was one that you sent me from like 1958. Yes, I want to talk about that one. yeah Good segue. ah Yeah. so So that was one of the first, or not not, I mean, it was one of the first because, you know, being how old it is, but it wasn't the first.
00:28:51
Speaker
Like, like ah back then, it was harder to do. Oh, like yeah, just watching how they like there there's there's no steady cam or anything. Right. There's a steady cam. um You can't film for that long with the cameras they had back then.
00:29:05
Speaker
They would have to like replace but whatever batteries or whatever the technology was at the time. Right. um So for that to happen, that's why that scene in that film is so iconic. because yeah What's the movie called again? It's called... ah Something about evil, right? It's called it's called ah Touch of Evil.
00:29:25
Speaker
Touch of Evil, yeah. 1958. 1958 directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Oh, okay, that makes sense then, yeah. Yes, so this was like, this was two years before he did Psycho.
00:29:40
Speaker
Right. um so you know So with this, he's already on people's radar. you know Yes. You're doing a scene like that where literally the opening credits happen. The first scene, you see this bomb.
00:29:53
Speaker
And then you're just like, okay, what's going on? And then you you see the guy put the bottom of the car and the car, you see, you notice the car going throughout the entire scene. ah yeah As you, you've as the heroes come in and you're following them and you still see the car in the background and you're like, oh my God, what's going to happen? What's going to happen?
00:30:11
Speaker
And i wait I think that scene was like, I think it was a four minutes, around four minutes. Yeah. then And then, and then the immigration booth there and then the girl's just like, and the girl in the car, she's like, you're ticking in my head. yeah yeah ah Everyone just ignores her. Yep. He's like, oh, silly girl. Yeah, yeah.
00:30:31
Speaker
And then, yeah, no, it's like, I mean, the, I know right after they do the, they plant the, the, the, the bomb in the car and then the camera pans back and then up over the buildings. And I'm like, man, like to have done that in 1958, like that's wild. Right. So, so I think it's what they did was they had the camera propped on a crane,
00:30:54
Speaker
and Yeah. scene And then like they followed him, followed the car, then lifted it And then once it got down, someone probably grabbed it. It was holding it. Yeah. but so And it's it's smooth, though. You know what I mean? I do. I mean, it's Alfred Hitchcock. I mean, the the guy. Yeah.
00:31:09
Speaker
he's ah he's He's a mastermind. because And this is the thing, too. is like it Don't get me wrong. I still appreciate it if it's, like you say, in the last, like say, 20, 30 years, something like that.
00:31:20
Speaker
But it's, like, to do it with technology back then, like I said, there's no steadicam. It's, like, just the... If you're on a crane, like the crane operator has to be smooth like butter to make sure that you know he's not he's not jerking that camera around. Like, that's...
00:31:33
Speaker
It's pretty amazing to do. like It's almost like I'd want to watch other cameras of how they did this. You know what I mean? like I sent one of those today to my girlfriend like because we were watching the the studio, the the one where they did ah the the the comedy show where they did a one-shot take the entire episode. and was like, look at this. like This is how they did it.
00:31:54
Speaker
i look because you get you got It's great showing not a camera recording how they're doing it. makes It makes it that much better and he appreciate it that much more. Absolutely.
00:32:05
Speaker
yeah ah I'll try to try to add some of the links, I guess, in the description so that, you know, if you I doubt a lot of people have seen this movie specifically. so Yeah, I feel like if you'd taken a film class, you would know about this this shot.
00:32:23
Speaker
Yeah, probably, but yeah it is fairly like obscure, like more obscure. In 1950, it's pretty old.
00:32:34
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. I mean, if we're going from, like you know I guess, i mean Snake Eyes was the 90s, that's 58. I kind of want to talk about more older ones.
00:32:46
Speaker
Right. but but but Before we get into the new age one shot takes, I mean, you you have you have two classic ones. in me yeah The Goodfellas one is iconic.
00:32:57
Speaker
Yeah. yeah where Where you're going through the Coco Cabana. I actually heard when they filmed it that way because they wouldn't let them use the front of the Coco Cabana. Yeah.
00:33:10
Speaker
yeah and i'm like oh my god so they really found a way around it and it made it that much better right it does it like and that's just it because it it tells so much too of ah especially if you're putting yourself in the situation you're putting yourself in the in the girl's shoes yeah of you you you're being taken out to ah to the copa which probably wasn't the nicest spots in the city, um i guess as far as nightlife goes.
00:33:39
Speaker
And yeah and like everyone knows knows your man. you know You're going through the kitchen. everyone's other the kitchen staff knows you. You get the best seat in the house. ah well i'm sure I'm sure all the drinks are on the house every two. But like the way that the camera just follows you the whole time,
00:33:57
Speaker
and Yeah, it it definitely adds addds to the scene, and that and I think that that's one of the important to i think like i want say kind kind of criteria, I guess, when you're doing a one-shot take, because I feel like sometimes it's just thrown into a movie to be like, hey, check out what I can do.
00:34:14
Speaker
Right. ah Like in other times, it's like it really it immerses you that much more and and you know and in whatever emotion they're trying to get you to feel. And in this case, yeah, like the woman's woman's take on her wise guy boyfriend. Yeah, you you can't you can't have i just being here mind is like, oh, wow, yeah. We're kind of seeing seeing what we're seeing from her point of view just like, wow, this is crazy. I'll be like, oh, my God, I feel like a celebrity right now, you know? Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
00:34:44
Speaker
ah But yeah, of course, that's a classic one. well Another classic one is is The Shining with the with with ah but with the kid on the tricycle. The camera's following him on the tricycle throughout the entire hotel.
00:35:00
Speaker
And do you remember what when it stops?
00:35:05
Speaker
Is it the twin girls? It is the twin girls. Sometimes the memory doesn't remember exactly how it goes. You know what mean? Yeah. So that makes that scene iconic. You followed it the whole time then it ends.
00:35:19
Speaker
Seeing the two twin girls. Means I want to play. yeah
00:35:27
Speaker
So funny. God makes me want rewatch that movie now. I love The Shining. I love it so much. It is a getter. I still think it's my favorite Stanley Kubrick movie.
00:35:39
Speaker
um okay Okay, so now for now I want to move into more of the, I guess, post-2000, I guess, this millennium type one shot takes.
00:35:51
Speaker
Right. um So that there was one I sent you that I never saw before either. I haven't seen the movie. I was just impressed on it just as far as a technical level with how many extras and this how many times I had to rehearse this, it was a scene from Atonement, where they call it the the Dunkirk tracking Right, yeah, yeah. And that's like almost five minutes.
00:36:17
Speaker
And there had to be like over a thousand extras in this scene. Yeah. And you were you were going in and out of like but sometimes very intimate spots like you're not really going from afar like you're there on the ground yeah and kind of going through where the other soldiers are going through and and even not having watched the movie I'm still feeling what they're feeling I'm like damn this is depressing but like still like hopeful yeah um But, yeah, I was surprised if saw that movie before. like I heard good things about Atonement, but seeing a shot like that, it makes me want to watch it that like so much more.
00:37:00
Speaker
I agree. like it's a It's kind like, it's almost like, it's like they're walking you through a painting or something like that. You know what I mean? Oh, it was so beautiful. They're extras, but it's more than just an extra because your eyes are on the extras. That's true.
00:37:19
Speaker
You know, the extras are usually like background. You're not really supposed to be looking at them supposed to be getting your that's a good point Yeah, yeah, so is interesting like and it's it's like yeah It's cool to watch the fancy and I mean like it's it's one of those things where you hope The rest of the movies is as good. Mm-hmm I guess you know again. It's another one to add for future watch.
00:37:42
Speaker
Yeah, because I know it's not your typical war movie. I think it's more of a love story with war just being, um you know, as far as the timeline, it's during war.
00:37:54
Speaker
Yeah. um I guess it seems like James Franco's James franco james McAvoy's character is thrusted into the war. You know, I guess maybe he wasn't planned to, but, you know, World War two you kind of had to.
00:38:07
Speaker
You were drafted. Yeah. And do you think he likes to be called Jimmy? No, I don't think he does. ah it would I mean, I feel like if he did, he would change his name.
00:38:20
Speaker
Cause in the acting world, you can change your stage name. um ah Maybe it was taken. Maybe he's like ah, damn it. There's already a Jimmy McAvoy. Ah, he's like all my plans are ruined.
00:38:36
Speaker
But I think that was like his big break sort of movie, too. I feel like that this where really rose into the A-list ranks as far as starring roles.
00:38:47
Speaker
Okay, like what year did Atonement come out? 2007. Oh, okay. It looks beautiful. For being almost 20 years old. Yeah. Yeah. right for yeah for being for being a twenty years old yeah yeah But yeah, is so it is cool to see some of these one shot takes and make, it's making me want to, cause just like with snake eyes, like just seeing the opening scene, maybe you want to watch the rest of the movie.
00:39:13
Speaker
Seeing the tracking shot. It just ducks you in, right? You're just like, whoa.
00:39:19
Speaker
um I think these other ones you've probably seen... well and we We already talked about it because we talked about Oboi. but We talked about Oboi to death. We know that we that's one of the best one shots ever. Yeah, where there's no no dispute there. We we could call it the side-scrolling video game one shot.
00:39:35
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. yeah um but now Did you ever see Creed? Yes, yeah I saw that in theaters actually. You did? Okay. yeah yeah did Did you know that one fight scene was a one shot take?
00:39:49
Speaker
ah To be honest, looking back, ah yeah, like i mean it is rather immersive how they do that. Yes. um Because it it really makes you feel like you're you're in the ring with them, right? and I knew some extras who were who were there for that scene, too, too when they were shooting it, which is pretty cool.
00:40:08
Speaker
Really? Okay. Yeah, that's neat. I think they said that they did it, like, i think seven or eight times. And, like, it took it took a while in between takes because... you know, for for the actors, it's probably a little exhausting to be going ahead of that. I'd imagine.
00:40:23
Speaker
mean, it's, you know, and again, it's like, it's, yeah, like, it's, like, I mean, it's not, it's choreographed, but like, yes, it's, Like, that that's got its challenges in and of itself, too, right? and I mean, like, one screw-up, but, like, in that entire... and you're like a Or something that's just not landing the way you quite want it to. it's it It's pretty wild, especially, like, to get movements like that, to get the camera in and out like that. like it It is pretty... um ah It's pretty amazing.
00:40:52
Speaker
I'm a big fan of that director, too, who did Creed. That's... um His name's Orion Coogler. so So he did Creed. He did ah he did Black Panther.
00:41:03
Speaker
um And so he's coming out with a new film this month called Sinners. Okay. um It kind of feels like a... but It kind of takes place, it feels like the late 1800s, early 1900s. Kind of like folksy, blues, sort of gangster type movie. But the kicker is there's vampires. Okay.
00:41:29
Speaker
Okay. So it's like, what? is Especially having this kind of bigger name director with Michael B. Jordan again. Is that going to be like ah Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter?
00:41:40
Speaker
no, no, no, no. That was a I hope that got a million budget.
00:41:51
Speaker
Were there any one-shot takes in that one I couldn't tell you. good You know, sadly, I think I saw that in theaters. Oh my god, it's so funny.
00:42:03
Speaker
you oh I forgot the movie came out. I forgot about that. Yeah, I mean, i i yeah I forgot about it too. I couldn't tell you ah single thing about that movie, but I'm sure it was good.
00:42:16
Speaker
uh and then as we're as we're the with where uh 2010s now so um i want to talk about one show not a movie that yeah i forgot i think i sent you as well it was from true did you watch the scene from true detective Uh, yes.
00:42:33
Speaker
Now, did you ever watch your True Detective? I did not. Okay. So, great show. One of the best seasons of television ever. This one shot is amazing.
00:42:43
Speaker
Yeah. It's so good. And Matthew McConaughey acts his ass off in this. And it's it's, oh my God, like the whole time, you're just on edge of your seat. You're anxiety inducing the whole time. oh my God. Yeah.
00:42:58
Speaker
He's like, oh, they're going make it out. Like, oh, my God. i mean, you know, Anthony McCoy is to make it out, but, like, he's going make it out one piece. He's going to get a His other guy got a good shot. ah But, yeah, from from the way it starts, the way it escalates, the how the fuck am I going to get out of here?
00:43:16
Speaker
ah It's, oh, I remember watching that when it came out, like, not knowing, like, a scene like that was going to happen, especially for for a TV show. I was like, this is like better than like all the movies I've been seeing. What the hell is going on Yeah. ah yeah I forget when it when it cut for you when I sent you that, but did did it get to Woody Harrelson?
00:43:42
Speaker
ah i'm I'm not sure. and I was kind of like, I'm not going to lie. I kind of kind of binged everything you Yeah, I got you. i got sir but but but But I'm just glad showed you that too, because I want to know, because that was like like the the first big TV show that did a one-shot take like that, and now you can see other TV shows are following suit now.
00:44:05
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. But, yeah, that that was that was incredible when seeing it. I remember seeing how they... I remember watch i remember when there was a part where... ah ah where I think Matthew McConaughey was like oh was climbing the climbing a fence, like a really tall fence.
00:44:26
Speaker
And i remember seeing the behind the scenes of like how they had the camera, like they had like hand it off to like multiple people. Right. Who were like already on the fence to get it over. or they had like that mixed with like some kind of pulley system or or like some kind of conveyor belt so like they could hook it on and then move it over. But then then I had like these people holding it, making sure it's going down okay.
00:44:49
Speaker
I love Shadda. It's kind of funny that they get a shot like that. And then, like, I think one of the... I think one of the worst cut ones is... I want to say was one of the Taken movies. It is! I'm glad you brought this up. You've like, 20 cuts to go over one of those. At least 20. At least...
00:45:10
Speaker
Well, this is not making it this better. Like, he's just climbing a fence and hopping. Oh, yeah. I think, like, there was a there was a video and someone paused it, like, for, like, every time. I was like, wow. was like, I knew it was bad. i just didn't realize it was this bad.
00:45:30
Speaker
Oh. Well, we'll actually get to Liam Neeson in a second ah actually we after we're done talking about these. right. But, uh, yeah, then... yeah You ever seen the movie Hard Boiled?
00:45:44
Speaker
I know I'm kind of going back in the past. I haven't, and, like, it again, some of the stuff you sent me, I was like, I feel like it's a movie, like, I need to watch. Like, it's... It looks like it's gonna be good.
00:45:56
Speaker
Yeah, so I think... you seen it? No, I think if if if we have an action movie type episode, I thought that would be good. Especially more for foreign films, because they said this it was John Woo's last... um I believe he's Chinese.
00:46:14
Speaker
I believe. Is he? I think so. Jan Wu? Yeah, Jan Wu. I thought he was isn't he based out of Hong Kong. Oh, Hong Kong, okay. I could be wrong. Well, that that I mean, okay, no, I shouldn't say that.
00:46:26
Speaker
Yeah, I'm not going to think of the politics of that. Let's be specific. Hong Kong, okay. I thought he was. I could be wrong, though. I'm certainly no expert on directors.
00:46:38
Speaker
No, I think you're right. And then I think there's like the last movie he did before he jumped to Hollywood. Right. ship Yeah. Yeah. Cause it was like, uh, back in the day, there was like a better tomorrow.
00:46:49
Speaker
had some movies with, uh, Chow Yun-Fat in it, I think, if I'm not mistaken. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Those are good. Yeah. So yeah, it's also going to that one. Cause plan to watch that one day, um, okay but then like the last ones I want to talk about, I guess they all kind of go together.
00:47:05
Speaker
guess around the same era, same year. yeah Um, you had, you ever see Kingsman?
00:47:14
Speaker
You ever see Kingsman?
00:47:20
Speaker
Did I lose you there? Yeah, you lost me just for a second. Oh, okay. Yeah. It says my connection. I thought i thought you were pausing for dramatic. I know. Yeah. All right.
00:47:31
Speaker
Woosa. Okay. Get it in gear. All right. Thank you. Yeah. Kingsman. The Kingsman. Did you ever see that one? Yes. Yes. I did see it. Yes. Do you remember the one shot take?
00:47:45
Speaker
Okay, like this is the thing is like, I... Is the opening sequence of One Shot Take when they're playing that Money for Nothing song? No. so So the One Shot Take is when Colin Firth is in the church and they're playing Freebird and he's killing everybody in the church.
00:48:06
Speaker
but Yes, yes, yes, you're right. yes That's all a one shot take. remember it, yes. Yeah. crazy. Okay, yeah. His buddy's there with his fucking sword cane too, isn't he?
00:48:17
Speaker
No, no, no, it's just him. It's just him? Yeah, because he's kind of killing, like, because i the the whole, like, ah ah possessed machine whatever that Samuel Jackson comes up with, he kind of unleashes it on him and everybody in the church.
00:48:31
Speaker
Right. Then, yeah, everyone just goes crazy. Yeah, I mean, I'm not gonna lie. Like, a lot of people told me, they're just oh, you're gonna love this movie. And, like, I didn't care for it much. I don't know why. It it it looks like it should be right up my alley. Oh, it does. I'm surprised you don't like it.
00:48:45
Speaker
I know. And especially after what everyone was telling me, I was like... Maybe they hyped it up too much for you, man. They hyped much. Yeah, and then was just like, you know what? I was like, it was like a year late I was like, I'm gonna watch it again. And I was like, yeah, I just i don't care for i don't I don't know what it is.
00:48:59
Speaker
I don't know what... the something Something bothers me about it. I'm not sure what it is. Interesting. Yeah. Especially if it's pretty ah pretty hard R-rated action.
00:49:10
Speaker
no Exactly. like if If somebody was recommending it to me, I don't think it's a bad recommendation given the person that I am and my tastes and stuff, right? Yeah, yeah I don't know. I always love the one line in the movie where he's quoting or like Michael Caine's asking him if as far as like his favorite... He asks why his dog is named JB.
00:49:31
Speaker
Right. you know as far as the famous JB's go?
00:49:36
Speaker
got James Bond. Jason Bourne. Jason Bourne and... Jack Bauer. Jack Bauer, exactly. Let's go. yeah that's That's what he named him after. 24, baby, 24. One shot take? That's not a one shot take.
00:49:56
Speaker
but ah yeah The last two I had on here were um you had you had the opening scene in Spectre, which is the James Bond movie.
00:50:09
Speaker
that came out 10 years ago. Right, I've seen that one. Yeah, he's in Mexico City. from the beginning... Is it the Day of the Dead celebration? The Day of the Dead, exactly. Right, yeah. And yeah, it's a whole tracking shot of him.
00:50:22
Speaker
You see him in the crowd. You don't know it's him, but you follow him. And he goes the way to the hotel room, and then he's he's a he's he' he's he's ah running on the ah the edge of the buildings to get to that spot where he's...
00:50:38
Speaker
I guess assassinating somebody. but i always ah i always love that scene because of how many people they got. to i to to to reenact the Day of the Dead. Right. And then shoot that. I'm like, wow, that's pretty cool to see in a James Bond movie. and And I think they also did a one shot take in the most recent James Bond as well.
00:50:57
Speaker
It was more of like an accident action, like more like a John Wick type of action scene. um But I just found the Spectre one like really stood out. Yeah, I think that was ah that was the last one I watched. Because it felt more a grandiose.
00:51:09
Speaker
Yeah. um and then uh but now did you ever know but there was a movie that came out that was like yeah very like tracking shot tracking shot tracking or like not i mean like a one shot i think it was like three or four i think they totaled it four or five total shots okay and splice them together you ever see the movie 1917
00:51:33
Speaker
1970. No. It was one... Yeah, it it fought it was like... ah The whole kicker for that movie was like how it was all shot in one take, or least it looked like it was all shot in one take. but Oh, okay. You could definitely hide certain cuts yeah ah here and there.
00:51:47
Speaker
But as de it's a must-watch for any lover of war films. um and and And that was cool, too, because I feel like war films for World War one there weren't as many, there still aren't as many, like, because I feel World War II, there's so many.
00:52:08
Speaker
It's, I honestly, it it's too much. Like, it's, and it's, it seems too, and it's like, again, I'm not going to claim to be some sort of you know ah history expert, but it's like, there's been so much World War I stuff, or sorry, World War II stuff, that it feels like it's almost,
00:52:32
Speaker
basically rewriting the World War I, like, ah history in the movies. Like, yeah like I'd say that the the Wonder Woman, the first Wonder Woman movie was like,
00:52:43
Speaker
It had that problem with it. And I was like, man, like, okay, like, did it's not World War II, man. Like, it was a, this was a, like, totally different circumstances of events or whatever. That's funny. And, and, and that's, uh, yeah, it's, it's too much. It's too much, James.
00:53:00
Speaker
There's other wars, lots of wars. We need like another mash. Go over the at the Korean War or something like that. There are no shortages of wars in the 20th century.
00:53:11
Speaker
i know. Yeah. But yeah i yeah. But as far as a the one shot guy, I like that one's a... we mean Maybe we should have like a war ah war episode um for for war movies we haven't seen.
00:53:24
Speaker
We could. It's funny because like I wouldn't say it's a genre I like very much. Yeah. but I've seen a lot of war movies too. And I've seen a lot that I actually it rear very much. Yeah. Well, I mean, for me, for me recently, I have with 1917 and um they remade All Quiet on the Western Front, which I thought was also very, very good.
00:53:43
Speaker
Both World War One movies. So it seems like it's getting more love. that It's it's, you know because I feel like because that was over 100 years old now, which is crazy. Yeah, um that's pretty wild.
00:53:56
Speaker
So, but yeah, maybe in the future we'll go over that. But as far as like just the way they shot it, like doing multiple one shot takes out the film. Yeah. And they kind of make it feel seamless. But you can you can if you're watching, you can tell like, OK, they probably cut one here, probably cut it here because you couldn't do that, especially because they had by.
00:54:19
Speaker
um yeah It's that's not all shot in two hours in real time. you know Yeah. yeah ah but yeah i think I think that's a good one to to end on.
00:54:31
Speaker
Oh, no. I had one. You have another one? Yeah. It's like the best one. like is which What's the best one? was telling you the story the before we started recording. okay It's not true one It has... it's not a true one cut or like like because it has I think it's got like two cuts, but I mean overall it's still good. It's several minutes.
00:54:52
Speaker
it's got your It's got your boy, Carl Urban. It's the boy. yeah ah The future Johnny Cage. yeah and Yeah, exactly. The future Johnny Cage. And actually funnily enough, that was a video game movie. Yeah.
00:55:07
Speaker
What I'm talking about was also video game you're talking about Doom? I am talking about Doom. Oh my god.
00:55:17
Speaker
Oh no! what you say I forgot he's in the movie. i forgot Karl Arben is in it. It's actually, it's good it's got it's got The Rock? it's got It's got Carl Urban.
00:55:28
Speaker
It's got Rosamund Pike. Okay. that Stacked. Basically, everyone before they they got famous, I guess, in 2005, more or less. Yeah. but no i i don't I don't care what it says. It was a great movie. That was a great scene.
00:55:43
Speaker
Being a fan of the video game, because played it and back in the ninety s Got that ninetyties nostalgia. You you're going with the chainsaw and stuff. It was awesome. I don't care what you say. I'm just saying, video game movies have come come so far since then. They've gotten so much better.
00:56:00
Speaker
peaked with 2005 Doom. It peaked. Get out here. The Rock had some shit movies back then.
00:56:06
Speaker
a
00:56:09
Speaker
rock had some shit movies back then
00:56:13
Speaker
He has shit movies now. What am I saying? He's got more shit movies than good movies. that That's been his entire career. like i don't know I don't know what's going through his mind when he signs on to some of these flicks. You're like,
00:56:28
Speaker
okay, man, like, ah yeah are you having, like, money problems like Nick Cage or something? Like, I don't understand. Well, I guess with The Rock, like, he's doing more big-budget films that go into theaters, so he definitely has the star power. He has that, he has an audience.
00:56:47
Speaker
Yeah. I think his star is, like, going out little by little, I feel every year.
00:56:53
Speaker
Well... He's finding ways to try and stay relevant. Yeah, and the thing is, too, is, like, it...
00:57:02
Speaker
I feel like, and and this is the thing, he's done some ah some dramatic roles that that it weren't weren't too bad, too. It's like he... Apparently he's coming out with a new movie that is a dramatic role.
00:57:13
Speaker
Okay. like And that's the thing, too. it's like I just feel like he's just done the same characters for too long. I know, that's the thing. People get tired of it. Yeah, and he he's he's playing his... He does the eyebrow in a lot of his movies and stuff, too. And it's like and that's, I think, where it's like... Yeah, it's...
00:57:31
Speaker
The only person that can get away with playing the exact same character, verbatim, movie to movie, and people still want to go down and watch even though there's there's zero, zero depth to any of these characters is Jason Statham.
00:57:46
Speaker
yeah Yeah, he's he's making a living. He's not even trying. They're not even trying with the movie titles anymore. It's like Working Man. Working Man. The Beekeeper. Right? is The Transporter. Yeah. Next up, The Fry Cook.
00:58:04
Speaker
Starring Jason Statham. You know you'll go see it. Good for him, though. Good for him. Yeah, I agree. I'm happy for the man.
00:58:16
Speaker
no i You know what? I saw the beekeeper in theaters. Wow. And it was good. It delivered.
00:58:27
Speaker
It had a cast. Remember Jeremy Irons was there and Josh Hutchinson? I mean, this is the thing, dude. I go in there with the expectations of the beekeeper and it delivered.
00:58:40
Speaker
There was beekeeping in that movie, too. There was, yes.
00:58:49
Speaker
but But anyway, so so I guess as far as the one-shot takes... we We love them. We hope to see more. I'm glad there's TV shows now thanks to Adolescence and Studio who are really who you can tell just love filmmaking. Just love by technical aspect of it.
00:59:10

00:59:58
Speaker
And we are, we're very excited to see what Val Cumber has to offer to us, especially on a comedic level, because we usually see him more of the stoic, you know, drama type in his movies.
01:00:12
Speaker
