119. Toxic Gas in an Airplane Cabin
22 Plays6 months ago
Adrian & Simon dive into the highlights, wins, and losses at the 77th Emmy Awards! Additionally, they examine the implications of the Jimmy Kimmel Live suspension over at ABC; while showing their support for free speech in America and a fair amount of disdain for Disney’s lack of courage. Plus, they discuss the hit limited series Adolescence, the upcoming Lex Luthor & Superman team-up in Superman Man of Tomorrow, and showrunner Noah Hawley’s successes adapting Alien & Fargo for TV. The two pals also get hyped for Tim Robinson’s The Chair Company and director Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another; all while Adrian has a bad case of the sniffles (possibly caused by toxic airplane cabin fumes?) and Simon suffers from “1st-world-problem-itis” (his headphones were buzzing and he complained like a wittle b*tch).
This episode was recorded in Canada on September 20th 2025. Episodes air every two weeks on Tuesdays! Catch us on October 7th for Episode 120.

Introduction and Series Discussion
00:00:00
Speaker
This episode, we discuss the Emmy Award winning series Adolescence, the Disney live action Lilo and Stitch movie, and showrunner Noah Hawley's Fargo and Alien Earth.
00:00:12
Speaker
and This is me, Adrian. Plus, we addressed Jimmy Kimmel's suspension from ABC and You really think now is the time to do that mock and voice on such a serious line?
00:00:30
Speaker
Oh yeah, that's true. Yeah. It was mocking you. You are doing it yeah Oh, that's true. That's what you sound like. I'm just, yeah, you're right. You're right. You're right. I don't sound like that. I'm just a little sick man. Let me go again.
00:00:44
Speaker
You're a hundred percent right.
Jimmy Kimmel Controversy
00:00:45
Speaker
This is a serious topic, and we did talk about it seriously during the episode, so let me reiterate. Plus, in Simon's voice, we address Jimmy Kimmel's suspension from ABC and the implications it might have on free speech in the United States. Is that better? I think it is.
00:01:02
Speaker
And we we converse about the winners and losers of the Emmys this year. I'm sick. I am actually sick, though, and my throat hurts. Yeah, I know. We can tell. You've been coughing through the whole thing, man. We we can hear you.
00:01:13
Speaker
All right. My name is Simon Eadie. And I'm a drink better.
00:01:19
Speaker
that's That's right. See, I knew you sounded like that. ah Okay. Welcome to Split Focus, a film and TV podcast, episode 119. one nineteen bomb Boom, boom, boom.
00:01:29
Speaker
Ba-da-dum. Ba-dum. Boom, boom.
00:01:45
Speaker
What, man? Take your time. This is so stupid.
Humorous Observations and Adrian's Work Trip
00:01:53
Speaker
adrian you know what really grinds my gears buddy what man
00:02:00
Speaker
take your time this so This is so dumb. Parallel pockets. Parallel pockets. Parallel pockets. That's right. what's What's wrong with parallel pockets, partner? Parallel pockets.
00:02:12
Speaker
per Pockets shouldn't. By the way, I'm having a struggle here because I'm listening to my ah different kind of headset. Usually have AirPods that have really good see-through, like hear-through mode. And so I'm now all flustered.
00:02:24
Speaker
But anyway, I don't want my AirPods. Actually, this is ah this is kind of a segue to what I'm actually talking about because it's it's kind of why I lose my AirPods all the time. Pockets shouldn't be parallel to your pant leg.
00:02:37
Speaker
You sit down, your shit falls out. It's outrageous. shit This should be illegal. If this happens, go to jail. That's all I'm saying. Straight to jail. Straight to jail. American Eagle does it?
00:02:49
Speaker
Straight to jail. Straight to jail. CEO, straight to jail. Anyway, I get where you're coming from. You don't agree? No, no. i I just said I get where you're coming from with these parallel pocket problems, man. Yeah, yeah.
00:03:02
Speaker
Putting products in your pockets and then sitting down and those products plunder to the ground out of your pocket. Yeah, it's ridiculous. very problematic.
00:03:13
Speaker
Yeah, but if there were parallel, jee do have you thought about the parallel aspect though? If they were perpendicular to the pant leg, we wouldn't have this issue. It's the parallel aspect. That throws me off.
00:03:24
Speaker
It's just a bad design. It's bad design. That's all I'm saying. I've got a lot of pants and that have parallel pockets to the pant leg. and Pockets on pant legs causing problems.
00:03:36
Speaker
Exactly. Correct. correct You love alliteration. I know that. so Yeah, it's very good. But yeah, it's bad. I think the got 14 Pro Max iPhone, ah the the time i got my i got my fourteen pro max iphone I literally went to the theater with you i don't know what we were watching, some Marvel movie. And I sat down in the theater and instantly, my but that's that same day that I purchased it, I just got the 14 Pro Max. I sit down, falls right out of the pocket, hits the cement.
00:04:03
Speaker
In the theater. Horrible experience. And I lost AirPods this way. I was doing a, um, Oh, I don't know what I was doing. I was, I was leaving work, I think. And I just sat down it was in my left pocket. So like near the car car door.
00:04:17
Speaker
And so before the car door shut, I swear the AirPods must've popped out. I don't have AirPods right now. Not because I lost them though. Because I exchanged them in the in the warranty and then I couldn't actually get the AirPods Pro 3 because I had to order them.
00:04:31
Speaker
But anyway. Oh, well. Now I can't hear properly throughout this conversation. so I'm sorry to hear that, man. The Pro 3s look good, though. They do. kind want them. um i so I have the Pro 2s, so I'm not going to. This is why that Best Buy replacement plan is clutch, you know?
00:04:46
Speaker
Especially for three years, the battery gets degraded. yeah you You send them in. And yeah, they're're I think they're far below 80% in terms of battery health.
00:04:57
Speaker
so <unk> Because we use them religiously for three years. But yeah, the Pro 2s are great. The Pro 3s are just an iteration on on what the Pro 2s are. But yeah, anyway. Yeah, man. Yeah. That's crazy. I'm sorry that you dealt with such a pitiful problem.
00:05:10
Speaker
Oh, dear. I'm sorry, man. I'm sure that's frustrating. First world problem. That's cool, man. Personal problems with pockets yeah being parallel. Yeah.
00:05:21
Speaker
Yeah, okay. Pisses you off. ah How was your week? You good? I guess two weeks because we launch this podcast every two weeks on Tuesdays. so Yeah, man. It's been pretty good. i'm I'm sick. I don't know if you can tell from my voice.
00:05:34
Speaker
um So that's unfortunate. I was on a work trip in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Oh, boy. In the United States of America. I was there. I flew in on Tuesday. Got back yesterday evening.
00:05:46
Speaker
Yeah. And in the morning, I was like, I don't feel so good. Friday morning, I was like, I'm not feeling too good. But I'm like, I only slept for about four hours because I had to get to the airport quite early. So like yeah that's probably it.
00:05:57
Speaker
The AC was running in this hotel room. That's probably it. Get on the plane, fly. My face is like feeling very dry. I'm like, it's good it's because it's the recycled air in the airplane. You know, I'm fine.
00:06:08
Speaker
I'm fine. It's, um you know, I'm going to be okay. It's just, it's just the circumstance. I have the layover. I'm like sitting there. I'm like, I'm not feeling too good. I'm feeling a little nauseous, not doing too well. Fly home.
00:06:21
Speaker
And like land in Toronto and I'm like, I'm not feeling good. i'm I'm really not feeling too good, but it's okay. I only had one coffee and it was at 6 a.m. Maybe if I have another coffee, I'll be fine. Make my way home.
00:06:33
Speaker
Traffic, not great on the 401, so I take back roads. But honestly, a nice smooth drive. Get home. I'm like, man, I'm so tired. So like my fiance is like, oh, well, I got to run some errands.
00:06:46
Speaker
And was like, I'm going nap. So I go, I nap for about two hours and I wake up. I'm like, oh, I'm like sweaty. I'm not feeling great. But I'm like, you know what? Like it's warm in my bedroom. i Again, I'm just coping and copiuming it.
00:07:00
Speaker
Right. Yeah, copiuming. Classic word. Yeah. um Shakespeare made that one. Exactly. He did, dude. um When he wrote, what was that play? Yeah.
00:07:11
Speaker
His most famous one, Romeo and and Juliet, that one? think it is it Is that his most famous one, you think? Not Hamlet? don't know. That's a good point. I don't know. don't know.
00:07:24
Speaker
also the Cursed play. Midsummer Night's Dream. There's that, but I think the Cursed play is pretty famous. People don't like to say it when they're in a theater. Say it. Well, we're not in a theater, so Macbeth.
00:07:35
Speaker
Oh my goodness. There's curses. Oh my geez. Yeah. um Why is it a curse play? I actually don't know. I can't remember why.
00:07:47
Speaker
ah can't remember why. let me look it up while you tell me your story. Yeah. So anyways, fiance comes home. She brings me Jersey Mike's cause she's the best and I love her. We Jersey Mike's together. Watch another episode of stranger things.
00:07:59
Speaker
And I'm like, man, I'm like exhausted. I was like, I got, I got to go to bed. So, you know, I like make my way up. I take it like, you know, a nice warm shower and then I go to sleep at like midnight. And I'm not even joking, man. I had the craziest, most vivid dream of all time.
00:08:15
Speaker
Oh. Where I was convinced it happened. because I woke up at like 145 as my fiance was coming to bed. I went to pee and I went back to sleep. And then a series of crazy events happened, which I can't really remember anymore.
00:08:31
Speaker
But it was like really really random stuff where i like my fiance like got up and she was like in the basement doing stuff, making a lot of noise. And then I was like, hey, can you like talk like keep it a little quiet? Like I'm not feeling good. i really need sleep.
00:08:45
Speaker
then she was like, why are you yelling at me? I'm like, I i don't think I was yelling. It's just my throat. And then it was like this weird stuff happening. And then I like went back to bed. And then I literally like in a panic woke up.
00:08:58
Speaker
And I'm like, hey, what just happened? And I feel like, what are you talking about? Like, I just got into bed 15 minutes ago. I look at the time. It's two. I'm like, I swear. Like we had like a full on conversation. Like, no, you were just peeing. And then you came back to bed and that's it.
00:09:14
Speaker
I'm like, oh. And it was like really weird, man, like really weird. I'm like, okay. And I fell back asleep. And then I had another crazy vivid dream, but this one not not realistic. For whatever reason, we were in some like tropical country in a mansion and there were snakes everywhere, like huge snakes, like anacondas and right like ah the largest rattlesnake I ever seen. I never even seen a rattlesnake in person, but it was huge.
00:09:38
Speaker
And it was so weird. Again, and I don't regularly drink, a dream, drink. I don't regularly dream. You know, I'll usually smoke a little bit of weed before bed. And I feel like usually if I smoke weed, I'm not going to drink.
00:09:52
Speaker
You know, it's just kind of what happens. But crazy stuff. I was i don't know. Something's up with my head. And then I woke up this morning. I'm like I'm feeling worse. um And now we're here. recording earlier which is kind of nice thing because i'm gonna be yeah it's nice and bright as i'm bright yeah yeah here's the thing so when did you start getting sick in the hotel or in in the airport or in the plane i can't i don't quite when i call you woke up in the hotel at like 6 a.m before my flight i was like i'm not feeling too good but i'm like i didn't sleep you might be okay yeah because didn't s sleep much and and i um had the ac running so i'm like ah it's you know the ac coming in i'm dry i'm i'm chilly
00:10:30
Speaker
I'm just sleepy. And then I just you think you were just groggy. And then you got sick from like a, some kind of a germ on the plane. Or do you think I'm asking because I read this weird article recently, about I don't know if you've heard of this, but how planes apparently when they use the recycled air, sometimes it pulls through the engine and it like heats up oil inside the engine that's leaking. And then it literally pumps the oil and like toxins into the plane.
00:10:57
Speaker
Oh, it's called something event. It's like a something event. It's like a toxic event or something like that. And apparently there's been times where there's been like literally like pluming smoke in the air. Like you could see it oh coming from the vents, which is crazy.
00:11:14
Speaker
Yeah. But you don't feel like your head's like all in a tizzy. Like you're like – but you kind of hallucinated. yeah I'm not all there. It's possible. But I definitely was feeling a little bit sick prior to that. So that is thing. Yeah. Okay. Good.
00:11:26
Speaker
Good. So it's not – yeah. so Apparently some people have come out of that situation with like brain damage. Like it's so severe long term that they have like – They have brain damage symptoms. Apparently, it was described as like a a football player playing for like years or something like that. It's like, what?
00:11:46
Speaker
How could that be? It's pretty um but that's like the there's like ah The airline regulations are getting worse and worse, it seems like. They're more and more lax. So they haven't changed this, but they apparently these types of events have happened for years.
00:12:00
Speaker
Anyway, Macbeth is called the curse play according to Google AI because of a combination. I believe it because I do recall this. So I'm using Google AI in this case, but because of a combination of superstitious legends and a real history of disastrous incidents and accidents associated with his productions.
00:12:15
Speaker
Holy smokes. The main beliefs for the curse are that Shakespeare used real witchcraft incantations in the play, angering a coven of witches who then cursed it. Like, wow. Okay. oh that's Cool.
00:12:27
Speaker
Very superstitious. But yeah. Yeah, anyway. Yeah, this is that's cool. How was ah how was how was the U.S.? It's a crazy time over there. Is there any problems? No problems, man. It it was fine. um It's the Midwest. It's kind of you know it's interesting. like in Tulsa, there's a pretty large population of people, but the streets are kind of dead. There's not much going on there. It's pretty calm.
00:12:52
Speaker
Um, know, we didn't explore too much. We ate a lot of food, went out to dinner quite a few, like ah every night and consumed a ridiculous amount of food on the last day. my boss, he has, he owns a boat. So we went up to like the lake. That's like an hour and 20 minutes away. i forget what the lake's called.
00:13:08
Speaker
um And we like spent, you know, like a few hours on the boat and it was really beautiful out on the lake. It's kind of it reminded me of the Muskoka's almost like with the the surrounding, it was pretty beautiful. Excuse me.
00:13:19
Speaker
um But yeah, I really enjoyed my time, you know, i think, yeah, it was a good time, man. Try, you know, obviously like the relationship between Canada and and ah and the States isn't you know, the best for, for obvious reasons.
00:13:35
Speaker
Um, but I don't think Americans really think about it as much as we do as Canadians. Um, no, but no, they don't think about anything. Yeah. Outside of their bubble, I feel like, in comparison. I think – I don't mean that as an insult. I feel like that came off as – That came off very – yeah, yeah, insulting. but i But there is an element of like America first before the current administration. there's like It's obviously a big thing. There's also the element of like America – the United States is like –
00:14:08
Speaker
the most powerful country in the world. So like they don't have to look outside themselves in some aspect, but we are Canadian. And so Canada is not at all the most powerful country in the world. And and we kind of, we absorb culture from various places. Like we work initially began as like a, you know, like very like British and French in a way. And then we kind of absorb culture from like the Hollywood. yeah I mean, hence this podcast.
00:14:34
Speaker
So like, yeah we kind of absorb a lot of the the various places. cultures of the West in a way. So we're we're kind of like an amalgamation of things. Whereas the US is kind of, I don't know, they're very, there're i don't want to say self-absorbed, but they kind of are a little bit, but they're also huge and they've got more like 10 times the population. So there's an element there that I feel like they don't think about us, you know?
00:14:56
Speaker
Yeah. you know At least not as much, which is, yeah. Yeah, it's interesting. But again, everyone was super nice, man. Obviously, my coworkers are fantastic, but just like the the random people I interacted with there were were all very kind. I got nothing but good things to say about my time there. I don't want to be um you know down. Tulsa, I guess I don't know if it's just Tulsa or maybe just the people I was with, but it seems like a very religious state, like a lot of Christians there. Yeah.
00:15:24
Speaker
So I don't know. I guess people are living those you know the nice Christian values, you'd hope. But again, everyone was super kind. I i enjoyed my time. I have no negative things to say about it apart from flying in and flying out. I hate flying.
00:15:38
Speaker
um But yeah, I'll be going to Vegas in like six weeks for another work trip. So that'll be interesting because I imagine Las Vegas is quite different from Tulsa, Oklahoma. I don't know. I don't know why but I have a feeling. I'm surprised.
00:15:53
Speaker
You went to a work like a work trip in Tulsa. it's That's where our office is. That's where my boss is and like a few of the guys oh that work. Oh, that's cool. I was hanging out with the locals. They were showing us around, taking us out to dinner. and Some of the food we had, man, really damn good. There were some really nice restaurants we went to. and That's great. Had authentic like Mexican tacos as well, which were awesome.
00:16:18
Speaker
um Yeah, really good food. We did go for sushi like the first night. And like everyone was like hyping it up. And I was like, man, you guys know what good sushi is. like i I can get sushi better than this at like any all-you-can-eat place near here.
00:16:30
Speaker
I'll be straight up with you guys. But the appetizers that came along with it were really good. That's good. All in all, really great time. There's actually one thing I do want to mention, though, Simon. Before you do that, I just want to say one real quick thing. You mentioned there's a lot of religious...
00:16:46
Speaker
kind of thing in Tulsa, like a religious vibes there. I'm pretty sure if I'm not mistaken, Oklahoma is the buckle of the Bible belt, isn't it? i have no idea. if You learned that in school. You know the but Bible belt? No.
00:16:59
Speaker
No. Oh, okay. If I learned it in school, believe it. So it might not just be Tulsa is my point. It could just be the state of Oklahoma. I understand. I'm no geographic-ishian.
00:17:12
Speaker
Yeah. I know. Yeah. Geografician. Yeah. Geografician. Everyone knows what that is. Yeah. Anyway, sorry. what were you saying before I cut you off? I was actually going to say, um I actually appeared, funnily enough, Simon, on another podcast for a guest appearance with a friend mine.
00:17:33
Speaker
Yeah, he he does his own podcast. He has a YouTube channel called Pembridge TV. P-E-M-B-R-I-D-G-E TV. And he has a podcast called the Revenite Podcast, which he kind of does on and off. It's like kind of sporadic. He doesn't really have a schedule, but...
00:17:51
Speaker
I've known this guy for now, like two and a half years. He's actually a coworker of mine at my last, at this job and end the job prior to this one. Um, and we just kind of had a really nice hour long discussion about, you know, video games, kind of how we grew up playing video games, what made us fall in love with it.
00:18:10
Speaker
Um, you you know, what we're currently playing and we even dived into like the, over, I guess, like politicalization um of some video games online and how volatile it can be.
00:18:24
Speaker
um it's It was a really good conversation. I think I really like his name's Carter. um He says his name on on his YouTube channel and on the Revanite podcast. Huge Star Wars fan.
00:18:35
Speaker
But again, we're very different politically, um like ah polar opposites, essentially. But again, like great conversation. Really love the guy. He's a good dude. um And It was cool to see like where we align in in some video games and and like the politic conversation within video games and where we kind of differ.
00:18:53
Speaker
And I think it was a really like great conversation, really, really good good hour long conversation. And you can listen to it on any podcast service. um online, Spotify, Apple podcasts. Again, it's just the Revanite podcast. So like Darth Revan from like the Star Wars, like Kotor games, I think.
00:19:12
Speaker
um i see. And ah yeah, Pembridge TV on YouTube. He does like a lot of, ah you know, different videos, like sporadic sort of conversations. He has actually a three episode Star Wars animation that he created a while ago, which is really cool.
00:19:26
Speaker
I highly recommend giving it a look. Yeah. Really good dude. And it was a, it was a fantastic, you know, hour long conversation about a bunch of stuff. um So yeah.
00:19:38
Speaker
Cool. Yeah, man. All right. um Did you appear on any podcasts? I did not. Is this a, is this a moment we should move into our quick bites of news, Adrian? Sure, man. Yeah.
00:19:53
Speaker
I feel like with me not being able to hear properly and you being sick, this is going to be a sleepy podcast. We'll see.
Film and TV Industry News
00:20:01
Speaker
But let's dive into some quick bites of news, Adrian. A component of our show where we discuss three to seven film and TV industry news stories that have been somewhat zeitgeisty over the past two weeks.
00:20:12
Speaker
In this case, there are three. The first one is a highly political one. Yeah. Holy moly. I'm surprised you put this in here.
00:20:24
Speaker
Sorry, did you say? I'm surprised you put this in here, but I think it would be didn't it. It's completely irrelevant. Yeah, I agree. Yeah. um Actually, first things first. Actually, I didn't put this in here, but robert redford ah Robert Redford passed away. That was pretty sad. I feel like he's like a Hollywood legend. you know We don't always mention the people who have passed passed away on this podcast, but um he's he is really a legend. I feel like he's like there's not that many...
00:20:49
Speaker
actors out there that we could call a movie star but he was legitimately a like um a movie star i don't yeah he hasn't been in that many things recently over the last pretty much since i think since uh captain america winter soldier was gonna say i'm pretty sure because he was in like old man and a gun old man and and a good you And The Gun?
00:21:13
Speaker
Old Man and The Gun, I think it's called. um But that was like his last big... is twenty Yeah, The Old Man and The Gun, 2018. But since then, he's not been in his in and as many things. That that movie was incredibly well-reviewed. I didn't watch it, but...
00:21:27
Speaker
Well thought of. 2016 is Winter Soldier, right? Am I 2014, dude. 2014? Oh, wow. ah That's crazy. More than 10 years ago. Was he in Endgame as well? I don't remember him in Endgame, but maybe he was.
00:21:43
Speaker
Uh, no. Why? Does it say he was? Yeah, it shows up like when you're looking him up on Google. I don't believe so. Was he in a flashback of some sort? Maybe. i don't I don't remember that, but okay.
00:21:56
Speaker
Anyway, the thing we're talking about here that is kind of political, I'll just read this and then we can just... Discuss it. Jimmy Kimmel's show is being suspended. So Jimmy Kimmel live by Network ABC after pressure from the Federal Communications Commission or FCC.
00:22:09
Speaker
Kimmel made a joke about the politicization about Charlie Kirk's assassination. And this was a step too far, according to the FCC, apparently. Adrian, any thoughts? Yeah, man, it's, this is interesting. Obviously the Charlie Kirk thing is a hot topic online.
00:22:24
Speaker
Um, and you know, I guess like regardless of what you think of the guy, I don't think you should necessarily assassinate someone so brutally. I saw the video when it happened. Rough watch, dude.
00:22:36
Speaker
I, um, I wish I didn't see it. And it's, it's sad, dude, from ah just a purely human perspective. Guy's a father, has a wife. Awful, yeah right? He's human. um Yeah. Yeah. he He's a, he's a person.
00:22:49
Speaker
Was a person. um I disagree with this guy on almost everything though. I did not like him whatsoever. i think a lot of his stances are absurd. We're absurd.
00:23:00
Speaker
Sorry. guess I shouldn't be talking in past tense. I think some of the shit he's said is like apparent, um You know, he was a big like pro-gun guy and, you know, all that stuff, which, again, I'm not like anti-gun um per se, but I think the way he dealt with it and like talked about it, essentially saying like gun violence is necessary to have, you know, like the ah like the Second Amendment all that stuff or whichever amendment it is.
00:23:27
Speaker
I just I disagree with this guy on a lot. But again, like I think assassinating this dude for talking on a college campus is absurd. um And like awful. I think most people can agree with it.
00:23:40
Speaker
I think, you know, a lot of the online, like people straight up celebrating it. It's like in poor taste, but it's not necessarily like, I'm not like you're a monster for doing that. I think it's kind of a shitty thing to do, but you know, I think it is a little bit too far.
00:23:56
Speaker
I think the jokes about it though, and that's okay. I think comedy is okay. People joke about some awful things as well. Like, you know, people posting like George Floyd memes and everything like that.
00:24:07
Speaker
And then those are the same people getting upsetty spaghetti about Charlie Kirk. I probably shouldn't have said upsetty spaghetti in such a serious conversation, but you know what I mean? Yeah. About Charlie Kirk dying. It's, it's, I think it's just a little bit hypocritical.
00:24:21
Speaker
And I also and incredibly frustrated that the Republican Party and like right wingers are arguably, you know, like the biggest people actually, at least, you know, a while ago, pushing for free speech, really being, you know, anti cancel culture and everything like that. And the pendulum has swung totally in the opposite direction.
00:24:43
Speaker
Everyone's got their panties in a bunch when anyone says anything that they disagree with now. It's, you know, it's I think it's genuinely absurd. You can't have it both ways. You can't have free speech, but only if you like it.
00:24:55
Speaker
It makes no fucking sense. That's not free speech. And I will give credit where credit is due with some of these, you know, right leaning. Um, or Yeah, right wing, you know, individuals like Ben Shapiro, I think is a prime example that has spoken out negatively ah or spoken out about, you know, this Kimmel um being fired and how the FCC has gone too far.
00:25:16
Speaker
So like shout out to some of those right wing people that are at at the very least understanding, hey, this isn't what free speech is, you shouldn't be going about this. Yeah. And I think, yeah, the idea that Kimmel and honestly, what he said was incredibly tame.
00:25:32
Speaker
I think he's not making fun of Charlie Kirk dying. He wasn't celebrating it. What he said was pretty, again, it's like, don't even really think it was that good of a joke. I don't even think it really was a joke.
00:25:43
Speaker
He was just kind of making a point. And
00:25:48
Speaker
him getting essentially, you know, fired or at least put on suspension here is fucking stupid, dude. And I, I'm totally against this. Um, think it's dumb and fuck the FCC.
00:26:04
Speaker
Hmm. What do you think, man? Yeah. I mean, the first amendment exists, right? Yeah. Second Amendment's gun, right? First Amendment's of free speech. I'm afraid not American. So yeah. Yes. um This is what Kimmel said specifically. He said, we hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.
00:26:26
Speaker
That line apparently was what was worth suspending a show over. Essentially, what happened was he said that. The FCC caught wind of it and they said this – There's almost nothing more vile, apparently. That's what Brendan Carr said that he's ever seen on TV. Well, that it's just remarkable.
00:26:42
Speaker
i mean I mean, maybe the FCC, the Federal Communications Commission, could maybe tamp down on the fact that the the video of Charlie Kirk dying was literally all over the internet. Maybe they could do that. Maybe they could be involved in that somehow.
00:26:55
Speaker
They're the Federal Communications Commission. Instead of... maybe trying to get a comedian fired. Seems a little weird, but regardless of that, here's what I want to say about what Kimmel said.
00:27:07
Speaker
Kimmel's being basically lambasted by various publications because the claim is that what Jimmy Kimmel is saying is that the murderer of Charlie Kirk is actually a Republican, that he's MAGA in some way.
00:27:22
Speaker
But if you read that and listen to it, that's not actually what he said. But if you look at many publications, they claim that's what he said. But he didn't say that. He said, they're pointing the finger...
00:27:36
Speaker
and Everyone except for themselves. That's what that line means, which is exactly what they were doing. So I don't know. how is that cancelable in any capacity?
00:27:47
Speaker
how was that How is that offensive at all? I don't understand. i'm i'm confused. I listened to this maybe five times. I cannot. Every time i I listen to it. i thought And initially what happened is I saw that he was being his show was being suspended and I thought, oh no, he must have said something crazy.
00:28:04
Speaker
So i watched the I watched the clip and I and i watched i watched the full mount monologue and I was looking for the moment. I was like, wait, which which part was it? And I had to go find the exact quote that God of Cance, his show suspended.
00:28:17
Speaker
And that's the quote. But it's like, that's what the... I don't really understand this. It doesn't make any sense to me. Point is... It's ridiculous. The reason I brought this up is I'm not subscribing to Disney Plus anytime soon. I had Disney Plus since 2019. I only canceled it recently because of the password sharing crackdown.
00:28:36
Speaker
And I was intending to go back to it at the beginning of October, October 1st, so I could watch Alien Earth. That was the whole plan, not doing that anymore. This is my tiny way of fighting back because honestly, money is the only thing that these companies seem to understand.
00:28:50
Speaker
ABC is owned by Disney. The reason why they shut this down is because the FCC pressured Nextstar, who is basically this – They own a bunch of cable stations across the United States.
00:29:02
Speaker
And Nextstar is specifically trying to merge with other another company that owns cable stations so they can have a crazy monopoly of of cable stations essentially. The thing is is there's a rule. It's like 35%, 37%. You're not allowed to own more than You're not allowed to impact thirty so more than 37% in terms of being a megaphone for the American people.
00:29:23
Speaker
So you have to make sure that you don't own the stations covering more than 37% of the population of the United States. That's the rule. But they're trying to make this merger happen, which would break that law.
00:29:34
Speaker
And so the FCC is going to make an exception for them potentially. And so they basically – Brendan Carr essentially just said on a podcast, we have to stop this.
00:29:46
Speaker
I guess these the stations need to stop this. And they did. they they They eliminated – they took him off the air. And then ABC is like, no, no, no, no worries.
00:29:57
Speaker
We'll take him off the air for you. And so they – it's crazy. It's just a crazy thing because that's just literally a complete violation of the First Amendment. And I don't see any other way to see it.
00:30:09
Speaker
And also I don't find what he said is is bad. but No, man. but We have these fucking nitwads on Fox News talking about reclaiming the word Nazi like black people reclaim the N-word. And that guy's fucking fine.
00:30:23
Speaker
He was on Jimmy Fallon. Actually, I was going to give an example with that, i if you if you don't mind. i have ah i have a hypothetical for you. So that's Gutfeld, right? That's the gun yeah that's the late show late late show on Fox News. They're a version of a talk show in the late the wee hours of the night, ah from my understanding, at least. that it's ah it's ah It's a later show.
00:30:43
Speaker
But anyways, Gutfeld, theoretically, let's say Gutfeld... You know when Paul Pelosi got hit in the head by a hammer? You know Paul Pelosi? Nancy Pelosi's husband? The guy broke into...
00:30:53
Speaker
Right. So political violence has no place, as you just said, i completely agreed with who you said at the top, by the way, I should have just, I should have led with that. But again, I'm all thrown asunder. I feel like my inner ear is off or something. I've i've got like, you know.
00:31:08
Speaker
some kind of crazy vertigo here, but with his headphones on. But but yeah, like what you said at the top, there's no there's no space for political violence across any spot. i agree I agree with you also. I don't agree with anything Charlie Kirk said.
00:31:21
Speaker
Actually, to be more nuanced, I should actually correct myself and say that I didn't agree with most of what he has said publicly. But there's a problem with there's like a lack of nuance in um in the United States. There's a lack of nuance in Canada. There's a lack of nuance, especially on the internet.
00:31:35
Speaker
But with the politicization of everything, they everyone is so polar. They want to be either blue or they're red. It's all a team game. There's there' is no in between. And this is kind of what's happened to to Jimmy Kimmel here is that this idea that he was pointing something out that was pretty obvious and that that was somehow a disaster.
00:31:54
Speaker
But there's also a lot of people being canceled over having the opinion that Charlie Kirk, I don't agree with anything he says. I don't like him. I'm not a fan of him. But I also think that he shouldn't have been murdered. He shouldn't have been. I don't think there should be any violence against him at all.
00:32:07
Speaker
There should be no violence a about against anyone, especially on a political nature. It's vile. It's disgusting. It shouldn't exist you our in our society. But the thing is, is my saying you don't like Charlie Kirk. And then I think it was Amanda Seyfried who said something similar. She's like, I don't like Charlie Kirk at all, but i there's no place for political violence.
00:32:26
Speaker
I think that goes without being said. The problem is it doesn't go without being said. If you say you don't like this guy, somehow people think he's Jesus Christ and they defend the his honor like he's like the yeah the the second coming. you know and It's crazy.
00:32:39
Speaker
it's It's kind of the same. this man not I want to go back to my theoretical analogy in a second. Sorry, go on. ah Well, it's kind of like the same thing where, you know, people were getting canceled or fired when they spoke out about, you know, Israel's action against Palestine. And they're like, you're an anti-Semite.
00:32:53
Speaker
You're fucked. No. It's like, no, it's like, I just disagree with killing, you know, young women and children. for for For what? Like it just, i don't know. it's It's, I think it's, yeah, it's, there is no nuance. It's like you're either one or the other.
00:33:09
Speaker
And I feel like right it's so frustrating. And again, i don't know. It is, yeah, it pisses me off. I'm glad that you remind me about canceling Disney Plus because mine was set to renew in five days. I'm finishing the ad here. So i'm I'm literally canceling it for the reason I'm putting um fucking cowards, suspended Jimmy Kimmel, get fucked.
00:33:29
Speaker
And I'm submitting that. Okay. okay Sounds good. but Oh, the other thing about the nuance thing I was going to say before I go back to my analogy is if you look at the the murderer of Charlie Kirk, the guy is the the the problem with what Kimmel said was, according to the FCC and various other people online, was that Kimmel characterized him as MAGA, right? That was the idea.
00:33:52
Speaker
yeah The thing is is that there there's still no direct evidence to suggest he's one of the other political party. So again, there's this again again this idea of that he has to be on one of the teams.
00:34:03
Speaker
And there's like these crazy people out there. Even Elon Musk is saying that we got to fight, fight, fight. And it's like a war now. And we got to go out for blood and shit. There's a lot of people out like ah online that are like – even like people in the house – like or the Senate have been saying that in the government. It's like, yeah not as much as like fight, fight, fight, but they're insinuating that it's the left's fault. And it's, they're like, oh, they're coming for us. They hate us.
00:34:27
Speaker
it's It's a war. It's like, no, it isn't guys. And all these people who aren't in the government, I don't understand why – again, why are you – why is anyone – I've said this before. Why is anyone in associated with any political party?
00:34:40
Speaker
You pick the lesser of two evils, the lesser of three evils in in our case or four evils in in Canada when we're voting. Whenever you vote, you just pick the lesser of the evils. you're not You're not picking the person you like, but that's not the way that they do the elections, especially anymore in the United States. They're they're voting specifically on the – that their hero, I guess. I don't really understand that at all.
00:35:04
Speaker
like If I was voting in the last election, I didn't want Biden necessarily to win, but I certainly didn't want Trump to win. But it's fine. It's clearly the better choice. You're just picking always the lesser of the options.
00:35:16
Speaker
The lesser of the bad options, I should say. Because you're never going to get at somebody who completely aligns with your values. But you should align your values and then choose a candidate. That's the point. So my point about like this this this guy who killed Charlie Kirk is that who Who cares what political party he is?
00:35:34
Speaker
Who cares? This is so irrelevant to the actual situation. He's a murderer he killed who clearly had mental health struggles, clearly. And there's... There are is evidence to suggest that he is part of either side if you look at the evidence. But there's it's nothing conclusive because he hasn't voted. He didn't even vote in the last two elections apparently. yeah So it's like Kimmel saying that anything other than one of them, they're trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them. As in they're going to point fingers at anything, but they're never going to look at themselves in the mirror.
00:36:08
Speaker
That's the point. and And to be honest, like every human being, Charlie Kirk's murderer is a nuanced individual. As much as he's he made a he clearly acted in a very vile way, he is nuanced he because he's a human being. Everyone is complicated. And I think it's – why do we have to simplify every goddamn thing? It's so frustrating.
00:36:29
Speaker
It's what the internet is now, to be honest. yeah This is the reason why our podcast is never going to be good because we're never going to do that. but We're just never going to it because it's not, first of all, not the point. We're not trying to get clicks anyway.
00:36:39
Speaker
we We're just doing this for fun, but also – We probably come up with like – Better titles? Peacemaker Season 2 Review. um as opposed to Pussy Pop and Peacemaker as our fucking title name. You know what i mean? like Yeah. we we We just have fun with our names. like it's not This ain't a business. Yeah. like We just want to do this for shits and gigs and have conversations and make make good content, hopefully.
00:37:01
Speaker
Yeah. what What people think. was that There's a podcast we listened to, and and one of the the guy who runs the network, he was saying – I thought it was really funny. He was talking about Hollow Knight, the video game Hollow Knight Silksong to be specific, the sequel to Hollow Knight actually.
00:37:15
Speaker
And they were talking about why There's something like, why would you leave money on the table? Because the price of Hollow Knight is incredible. It's like $30 in Canada. It's like $20 in the United States. $26.99. Yeah. Wow. $27. It's a really good deal because it's a game of the year contender potentially, right? So it's really kind of neat in that regard that they put the price so low. But he was talking about it as if it's like, why even make another game after this? He said, because you're rich now. So why even do it at all? If you're going to make the price that low anyway, it's just like,
00:37:49
Speaker
Because they're making art and they enjoy it. What are you talking about? It's not just about money. And that's actually to the point of Bob Iger and Disney.
00:38:00
Speaker
Disney has a decision now whether they're going to bring Jimmy Kimmel back. His show is suspended, not canceled. So there's a chance they can bring him back after they figure out how they're going to solve this problem. Because they have to obviously figure it out.
00:38:12
Speaker
Apparently, Bob Iger and everyone, all the executives love Kimmel. but Almost everyone loves Kimmel, it seems like, who's gone the show. like There's been many times where he's been characterized by various actors and people in the end in the nine Hollywood as Jimmy Kimmel, friend to all, which I think is pretty sweet.
00:38:29
Speaker
And like he's, to me, on to be honest, watching his show and watching the other late night talk shows – Everyone, in fact, i feel like in Hollywood in some way, even the actors going on the shows, doing the talk shows, they're all putting up a facade. They're all playing a character almost on these shows, which you might be able to relate to watching any interview for anyone.
00:38:47
Speaker
But yeah I feel like Kimmel is kind of the most genuine of the talk show hosts, of the of the ah the late night guys. And I think it's it's kind of nice and it's endearing. It's it's part of his charm.
00:38:58
Speaker
He just feels more genuine. He talked about his kid like having like really bad health troubles ah troubles when he was born and stuff. He's got like a heart issue, I think. And he cried on air. And there's just something wholesome about that aspect alongside the you know the jokes and the banter and shit. yeah So I don't know. I always like that. But – Anyway, I was going to give you the hypothetical. Here it is.
00:39:18
Speaker
All right? Please. So, Gutfeld. Let's just say, let's say Gutfeld. i'm trying I'm trying to basically ask you if if he would get canceled by Biden, the Biden administration. When Paul Pelosi got hit head by a hammer, the guy broke into Paul Pelosi again, Nancy Pelosi, prominent Democrat.
00:39:35
Speaker
ah This guy broke into ah Paul Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi's house. Nancy Pelosi, I think, was a away. And he hit ah Paul Pelosi in the head with a hammer. All right. And Paul Pelosi is in serious – he was in intensive care, I'm pretty sure. He had a fractures school fractured skull. Fractured skull, sorry. And he he's 80. He was 80-something years old. So that's that's really bad, obviously.
00:39:56
Speaker
um And it was thought to be a politically motivated situation, right? Right. Imagine that Gutfeld during the Biden administration, because this happened in 2023, imagine Gutfeld that said, oh, there's no way this could be a right-wing person.
00:40:11
Speaker
Right-wing people don't do things like this. Then the claim is that the democratic policies, theoretically, are what caused this man to do this. And Gutfeld would then repeatedly say that the democratic policies caused this man to attack Paul Pelosi with a hammer.
00:40:26
Speaker
So that's a characterization basically. yeah Imagine that it happened. Would Biden shut down? He asked the FCC, he's like, hey, FCC, shut this guy down. That's unacceptable.
00:40:37
Speaker
Imagine that it happened. Would you think that what could ever happen in the Biden administration? No. As an example? Yeah, exactly. I don't think so from, again, a Canadian perspective. But yeah, it's like it's crazy though, right? When you really think about it, it's like, yeah, right-wingers actually never cause violence. It's not like they stormed the Capitol when Biden got elected and tried to break down doors. For some reason, that's been like- Oh, that that didn't actually happen, though.
00:41:05
Speaker
They were just tourists. yeah That's what they say. it's so dude it's it's I don't know. this The hypocrisy is unbelievable. And it is frustrating that so many people don't see it. But hey, man, whatever.
00:41:15
Speaker
Who the fuck am I? That hypothetical situation? That happened. so Oh, did? You can watch the clip right now if you want. Oh my goodness. Dude, hey, you you got me. That's a good trick you did. That happened. It's pretty much what I just said.
00:41:28
Speaker
um Obviously not verbatim because I paraphrased it a little bit. I just thought it was crazy because I saw that clip. I'm like – because yeah theres there's these clips have been going around now that Kimmel's been suspended. So I'm like, what's happening here? Well, obviously Biden would never have done anything about that. you Even – Crazy, ah obviously not a broadcaster in any capacity, but Donald Trump Jr., did you see this? He had a picture of like underwear and a hammer, and he said, I got my Paul Pelosi costume ready for this year after that happened.
00:41:57
Speaker
That's what he posted on Instagram or something. That's amazing. it's Really good people. This is like – Anyway, very depressing. Let's move on. But anyway, I canceled Disney Plus and I'm going to stay canceled is basically my point unless he gets reinstated. I'm not not one of those boycott guys where I'm like ride or die and then I hypocritically go in and and resubscribe.
00:42:17
Speaker
I will say like if they reinstate the guy, I'm probably going to jump in. But as as it stands – If they don't reinstate him this for this period here, I'm just not going to probably subscribe until at least the end of the year. And then i'll I'll reevaluate as time goes on, depending on how things go. But man, it's like companies don't have any backbone and that's clear. And I think this is ah this is evidence of like... ah it's really evidence of why you shouldn't let capitalism go unchecked. yeah And there's this ah idea that like, what would Bob Iger do in a responsible situation? He's got shareholders that he's got to be beholden to, but this is like, you've got to squeeze every dollar.
00:42:54
Speaker
The only thing these, any of these companies worship is the almighty dollar. There's no ethics or morals. It doesn't really matter. And I feel like if there were more checks and balances from the government to, to promote morality, promote ethics, to promote an ethical kind of workplace environment,
00:43:09
Speaker
um Then perhaps there would be less mass firings and and layoffs and various things. like I think about how Japan's culture is, as an example, with layoffs. There's like a lot of checks and balances to avoid laying workers off, which I really appreciate.
00:43:24
Speaker
um as it's just an example, our culture is similar to the United States in terms of layoffs. It feels like there's just not that many checks and balances. um But in the same way, like there is a there's there should be like a there should be some kind of ownership on the the fact that of the rule of law and how it's important to follow the constitution in the United States for these large companies, especially a company the size of Disney. Let's let's be real.
00:43:47
Speaker
So that's kind of the really unfortunate thing is just there's no checks and balances. But Yeah. Anyway, that's it. that's That's all I got to say. Yeah. My one final point about this, just to, yeah. um Maybe I shouldn't say this.
00:44:00
Speaker
Whatever I'm going to say. on um i I did love some of the memes coming out with this situation. Not all them. Some of them were very celebratory, but the one that got me,
00:44:11
Speaker
you know that You know the the image of like Wesley Snipes like crying when he's about to shoot? You know that meme image? Yeah, I think so. And it's literally like Donald Trump when he has to kill Charlie Kirk to make people stop talking about the Epstein files.
00:44:26
Speaker
Oh, gee. I'm like, oh my God, dude. It's dark. Yeah, it's very dark. um Yeah. But I wouldn't put it past him. But yeah, we we both agree that obviously that's unacceptable. And and that I think I want to just end on that point to have suspended Jimmy's show in this way. And of course, of course, the political violence is unacceptable, of course, as well.
00:44:44
Speaker
As much as we can make light in some aspect, it's just like, it's crazy out there now, man. It's crazy out there. it's it's crazy like oh yeah cancel culture ah they don't like it over on the on the far right you know they hate cancel culture sure literally canceling people left right and center and they're like ratting people out for for saying anything bad against their lord and lord and savior charlie kirk but anyway again vile act against this guy and he did not deserve that and his family didn't deserve it and yeah it's it's horrible
00:45:17
Speaker
But it's again, two viewpoints can be true at the same time. there are There are so many different viewpoints that you can take that are not that that are not, I'm celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk and it and it's okay and it's moral and it's okay.
00:45:31
Speaker
But again, that's not the way that people think, unfortunately. There's one or the other. I i despise everything about this, what this happened and I love Charlie Kirk or there's... Or there's celebrating it. like Those are the options? I feel like we can have more than one option. We can have more than two options, sorry.
00:45:48
Speaker
But again, there's also two parties in the United States. So they they love you know the dichotomy, that the polar opposite option. but Yeah. Anyway. Okay, cool. Super fun. Let's segue to so something else. with like almost Another political thing.
00:46:04
Speaker
Another political thing. The Superman movie. It's the most political movie, dude. Yeah, I know. So according to James Gunn on – it is it has some way. I don't know how. But according to James Gunn on Howard Stern's radio show, Howard Stern left for a five seconds. did you see that? Howard Stern like didn't show up to work one day and then they everyone thought he left. He just like left SiriusXM and quit.
00:46:28
Speaker
And it was just a prank. Like a few hours later, you just came back. And the SiriusXM, like they depend on him. Like if he leaves, i feel like SiriusXM would go out of business because it's like literally their bread and butter. hes got His face is plastered all over their website in spots that aren't anything to do with Howard Stern.
00:46:44
Speaker
I'm pretty sure. I think they brought like a tab, like it's like radio. And then it's like Howard Stern at one point on their, like the tabs at the top of their website. That's how important he is. Anyway, he's not gone because James Gunn was just on his radio show to talk about Superman Man of Tomorrow, which is the new Superman movie coming out in 2027, which is apparently a story about Lex Luthor and Superman having to work together.
Excitement for Upcoming DC Projects
00:47:06
Speaker
Not what we said. We talked about Superman Man of Tomorrow, I think it was the last two weeks ago on episode 118. And the crazy thing is that... we I don't know why. i guess we just assumed from the image that they were obviously not working together. Also, they're sworn enemies. But there's going to be a bigger bad in this movie. And Lex Luthor... Oh, damn. um I've forgotten the guy's name.
00:47:30
Speaker
Nicholas Holt. Thank you. Nicholas Holt, Lex Luthor, and David Korns with Superman are working together in this one, which is kind of cool, I think. Yeah. I'm curious how it's going to go.
00:47:42
Speaker
Not to spoil... Anything about the Superman movie that came out, which is now on Crave, by the way, um which is pretty neat. um Lex Luthor does some pretty awful things, like genuinely evil things in that movie.
00:47:57
Speaker
yeah So I'm curious how they're going to work around that. I think it's like – imagine – I think this is actually somewhat of the plot of Watchmen actually.
00:48:10
Speaker
But think about like an alien invasion, right? Let's say the aliens come down. Is Russia going to just keep fighting Ukraine or is Russia going to help the United States states fight the you know fight the fight the aliens? you know or i think they're to take the opportunity and to take off cream To keep – yeah, while everyone's distracted, they'll just keep invading Ukraine. i think that's what's going to happen. theoretically, like – actually, a better example would be like an alien invasions on the border of Russia and Ukraine.
00:48:38
Speaker
Yeah. Would then those two like help each other out in some capacity. But yeah, anyway. I'm being facetious. I'm being facetious. I just want to clarify.
00:48:49
Speaker
Right, right. Yeah. But there's a change. I think that's the plot. The big bad is big enough that they could work together. you Brains and brawn working together to try to defeat this entity. And of course, Lex Luthor will probably have an angle and try to manipulate the situation anyway.
00:49:04
Speaker
And then um they'll be left in a different situation at the end of the movie. That's probably might my prediction anyway. But they're really expediting this, which interesting. Two years, man. It's nice. Because like you think about... Man of Steel versus Batman v Superman. I think it was a three-year gap, if I recall correctly. 2013 to 2016.
00:49:23
Speaker
So it's interesting that they're speeding it up. um This reminds me of Iron Man 2, actually, more so. oh Iron Man 1 and Iron Man 2, because the gap was only like two years.
00:49:34
Speaker
And this feels like the beginning of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, whereas the late stages of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we never really get a sequel In kind of less than five years or something like that. It's kind of a crazy gap now between franchise films between that. Like Captain America was a huge gap as an example.
00:49:56
Speaker
Yeah, that's true. um So yeah, I'm very curious about this, man. I i'm i mean, I'm still watching Peacemaker every week. I love James Gunn. I love his writing. This guy nails it every time. I'm so curious what he's going to do with the Superman Man of Tomorrow. And I can't remember, was it you saying this maybe maybe last episode?
00:50:15
Speaker
It's so intriguing how... Peacemaker and Superman are in the same universe. like The idea that this is actually in the same universe and you're watching Peacemaker and you're like, oh my goodness, this is like R-rated. This is crazy.
00:50:27
Speaker
And you like go to Superman and somehow it all works and makes sense. yeah but It's like, yeah, he's really cool. i'm I'm super stoked for this. I kind of want to rewatch Superman. I'm going to – I'm trying to like plant seeds because my my fiance has seen a couple of scenes of Peace Down. She's like, oh, this is actually pretty funny. Like this is interesting.
00:50:44
Speaker
I'm trying to plant seeds. Like, oh, like have you ever watched the Suicide Squad movie? And she's like, no. Oh, it's really good. Maybe we should watch it. And she's like, yeah, maybe. I'm like trying to so kind of push – to, to, to watch that. And then maybe she'd be willing to watch Peacemaker and then maybe be willing to watch Superman and then kind of get her in on this universe.
00:51:03
Speaker
So what's the deal? Like she doesn't like superhero movies at all. Is that it? Is that what the idea is? It's just not really something that she's into. Like she hasn't watched every MCU movie. Like I think she's just watched like the Spider-Man one specifically. And I think maybe like a couple of the Avengers movies, but yeah, like she's not, it's not like her favorite genre, um, of, of film.
00:51:23
Speaker
Um, And I think the MCU, especially at this point, it's such a huge investment. But since this DC universe is like fairly new, man, there's still opportunity I can get her in. And I think she would like it.
00:51:38
Speaker
Like she would like it. I'm i'm confident in that. um So it's just about kind of like convincing her and like sitting down and and making our way through it. I think there's there's plenty of potential there.
00:51:50
Speaker
um But yeah, I'm super intrigued about this dude. I... I think like David Cornswet and Nicholas Holt, they have – maybe chemistry is not the right word, but it it is chemistry. I was going to say chemistry. yeah yeah like so Yeah. think When you said they have, I'm like, chemistry?
00:52:09
Speaker
Chemistry. Yeah, agree. Yeah. um So it's going to be cool to see them almost growing up in a weird way. you know like not not be I'm sure they're not going to be like, hey we're best friends now. But I think it's going to be like – What?
00:52:23
Speaker
i have ah I have a coin term for you. Please. Enemstree. Enemstree. Sounded better in my head. What what is that? Enemstree and enemies. Oh, Enemstree. didn't get it in the first second. It's bad.
00:52:39
Speaker
ah how was workshopping it, I guess. Sorry, I interrupted you for that and shit. and um and ah Maybe I'm just sick, dude. I can't even type right now. I'm trying to type this out. Enemstree.
00:52:53
Speaker
Yes, it's funny because you say I'm just sick. There's been a couple times where you said a word that I'm like, did I hear you wrong? I feel like you said when you were trying to say abhorrent, you said apparent. But I'm not sure if it's my hearing. You didn't hear. You were talking about the Charlie Kirk thing and it was a abhorrent.
00:53:07
Speaker
I think you were saying that he was murdered in such a way. And I thought you said apparent. But I'm like, is it because I can't hear properly because of these headphones? it's It's unknown. We'll never know. We'll never know for sure.
00:53:19
Speaker
Now I just corrected you live. There we go. Corrected. Thanks. No problem. Yeah. um Yeah, this is cool, man. It's interesting too because James Gunn was talking about this movie being like a super family team-up movie originally, right? Like that's kind of what he yeah mentioned. I don't so i don't know.
00:53:37
Speaker
This is like – this could be – maybe what he's talking about was that it's not as much about Superman as it might be about Lex Luthor because it would the idea was not about – their super family aspect was – it's ah another addition to – I think it was –
00:53:54
Speaker
I'm pretty sure it was, all dude, what's his name now? The CEO of of Warner Brothers. Oh my God. David Zaslav. Thank you. Yeah. David Zaslav had said that we're another, we're James Gunn is working on the next entry into the super family.
00:54:11
Speaker
So that's what he was saying. I wasn't suggesting that it was super family thing, but at at some point it was kind of an insinuated that it wouldn't be directly a Superman movie it would be something related to that so I'm wondering if the super family Lex Luthor is kind of a part of it so he's is maybe a split between them and and maybe maybe show more of a backstory for Lex Luthor and we'll maybe kind of see more about him because that'd be cool to see we've never actually really got except for maybe in something like Smallville we've never got it on the big screen like a backstory of Lex Luthor in a deeper way
00:54:45
Speaker
And Smallville is kind of a high school drama, so it's not exactly the same kind of thing. So it would be kind of cool if that's what they do. Like they split the time between those two characters and they really show how they've come up or how they're going or where their mind's at. In the case of Lex Luthor, would be cool.
00:55:02
Speaker
Yeah.
00:55:04
Speaker
Yeah, I'm stoked though. I'm into this. I love this universe. Hopefully Supergirl is really good next year. Swamp Thing is apparently in the works. I don't know when that's coming. So, heck yeah, dude.
00:55:16
Speaker
Heck yeah, brother. Yeah, I'm excited. It's really cool. Cool, man. All right. The last thing. We often talk about the trailers that have happened in the last two weeks. The trailers that have ah been been premiered on YouTube, etc.
00:55:30
Speaker
on the various social medias. And I've got a ah few listed here. You can kind of, uh, give me some of your own that you want to talk about, but I'll just list a few of the trailers that did come out this week.
00:55:41
Speaker
One of them was dust bunny with Mads Mikkelsen. don't know if you saw that trailer. I did watch that. There's also the the Rip trailer with ah matt ah Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, the Super Mario Galaxy trailer, the Springsteen Deliver Me From Nowhere ah trailer, um and the Chair Company.
00:56:01
Speaker
Oh, and I added an extra thing here. I added the Anaconda trailer with Jack Black. Oh, I didn't watch that. The Chair Company is the – you didn't see the Anaconda trailer? No. Should watch it? Sure. You can do it now if you want. I can just say a few Okay. have to anyways.
00:56:15
Speaker
oh okay so we can do a little tick tock here and i might i might i'm gonna boil water quick because i think i need a tea my throat is killing me so i feel like gonna boil water in the microwave and i'm gonna pee i'm gonna watch this anaconda trailer and i'll be back by the end of the anaconda trailer okay okay all right is that cool okay give me yeah ticking clock is coming up right sounds good now wait i don't haven't started the trailer yet let me start the trailer Oh, you're trying to do it all by than by the end of the trailer?
00:56:49
Speaker
Yeah, I'm a man of my word. How long is this trailer? It's like two minutes, probably Two minutes and 38 seconds. It's Paul Rudd and Jack Black. Okay, I see it. Okay, I don't know if going to make it back in time.
00:57:03
Speaker
I'm going.
00:57:08
Speaker
I made it back. I didn't make it in time, though. It ended like 10 seconds ago, but, um, that's all right, man. That's all right. While you were gone, I was listening to that podcast. How were you?
00:57:19
Speaker
Yeah. Just for a second. You're a little quiet though. I don't know if the, the audio is balances out a little bit. Yeah. Oh, good. Good, good, good to hear. But, uh, yeah. Okay, cool. Um, yeah. So what'd you think of the Anaconda trailer? Cause now it's fresh.
00:57:31
Speaker
It's interesting. i i don't I never watched the original Anaconda movie. Was this the same premise? Because it's very meta. I don't remember. I feel like i i feel like I've seen it. i don't remember seriously. But the the thing I thought – I was going to send you this trailer. I don't know why I didn't send it to you.
00:57:48
Speaker
I definitely sent it to my fiancé because she she loves big monsters killing people just like you. So I just thought – you know I don't know. Maybe I didn't send it to you because I thought we would just talk about it on here. But yeah, anyway.
00:58:01
Speaker
did you Oh, you know why I didn't send it to you? Because I thought we would end up watching it. And it kind of spoils it, of a specific part. And I'm like, what's going on with the Jack Black with the pig thing?
00:58:12
Speaker
yeah That part was spoiled, I feel like. like did you Isn't that like a major plot point somewhere where we thought... that he was potentially dead. I'm confused by this. It's in the trailer. So I don't know. Anyway, did you, is that something you're interested in? You interested in this ah big monster killing people?
00:58:28
Speaker
Yeah. I always like big monsters killing people, man. And again, it's very meta. It's kind of funny. They're going to film a, a reboot of the original Anaconda and then end up being chased by an actual Anaconda.
00:58:40
Speaker
Yeah. Right. It's almost Tropic Thunder when you think about it. That's what I thought. And Jack Black's in Tropic Thunder. So that's also the connection I was making. Yeah. Yeah. And Black Robert Downey Jr. Yeah, he's not in this one.
00:58:54
Speaker
Yeah, unfortunately. He's actually the end of the... I don't know if they'd accomplish that. Actually, they may able to do it now because, you know, cancel culture is over, Asians. Yeah, you can't get canceled anymore. You can't get canceled over...
00:59:07
Speaker
Anyways, take care. Okay. Anyway, so yeah, there's that trailer. That was probably the like the silliest trailer of the week for me. But any of the other things that I mentioned that you want to bring up? We can go back and forth, I guess, if you've got anything specific you want to. The Chair Company, man. That's Tim Robinson's new HBO series releasing in. It's looking.
00:59:27
Speaker
When is that? Middle October? october Yeah, I think it's... The Cheer Company. Oh, we'll talk about it because it's in the montage. I added that to the montage first before we before I added this trailer.
00:59:40
Speaker
It looks really fun. Very excited about that. um Super Mario Galaxy movie. It's a nothing trailer. doesn't really do anything. wash Why isn't it Super Mario World? I feel like like you could have made a trilogy of movies and you get to Galaxy 3rd. That's what i would The reason they're doing this is because they're releasing the Galaxy games up update upgraded for Switch 2.
01:00:02
Speaker
But they're coming out in october's on October 2nd. And the movie isn't that movie coming out to next year? Yeah. so So disregard my point. You could be right, though. Maybe there's another Super Mario Galaxy that hasn't been announced.
01:00:16
Speaker
Ah. Good thinking. It's possible. Because people like Galaxy a lot. Yeah. so that that's That's actually a good point. I wasn't thinking that, though. I don't want to take credit. when we came up we We arrived at it together, I think.
01:00:30
Speaker
yeah but okay um But okay. i guess I'll go. um I actually was interested. The Springsteen Deliver Me From Nowhere trailer looks cool. Jeremy Allen White looks really good in it.
01:00:43
Speaker
That's Scott Cooper as well, who made Crazy Heart. I think he won an Oscar for a Crazy Heart. Or did and was that just Jeff Bridges? um But yeah, that looks pretty cool.
01:00:54
Speaker
I'm not really always into these and I haven't seen too many of these biopics about various famous musicians. i don't know if you have. Just the one with Remy Malek.
01:01:07
Speaker
Yeah, me too. The queen. I think the reason why i saw that one is because didn't it win best picture? No, no. He won best actor. no no he won best actor He won Best Actor. It was nominated for Best Picture, but he won Best Actor for that role.
01:01:23
Speaker
If that had won Best Picture, I feel like that would be very controversial. he did It didn't win Best Picture. Yeah, you're right. I think he won for it. That's not a good movie. I'm going to stand by that statement. It's absurd. Oh, I think it's good.
01:01:35
Speaker
I just don't think it's excellent. It's it's good. It's good. It's so poorly edited, dude. Okay. I always just remember. The thing is, is that I, I probably wasn't noticing the editing. Cause I literally saw it on the small a smallest screen possible on a plane.
01:01:49
Speaker
Oh, it no way there's no way I was like really paying attention. Cause it's like the plane, somebody comes by with freaking tiny, tiny cups of water and, and crackers or whatever. And I'm just like, yeah, yeah. I'll take one of those while the movie's playing.
01:02:02
Speaker
Yeah. So I thought it was cool, but also like what, in what way was it badly edited? Like you're talking a picture editing or audio editing? Yeah, just um like picture editing. It just kept on cutting.
01:02:13
Speaker
Like it felt like it was made for the TikTok generations. There's a lot of cuts in the movie. That's before TikTok was really big. Boom, boom, boom. boom And it's so often. Yeah, actually, that's a good point.
01:02:24
Speaker
um And yeah, I just remember watching and being like, dude, why are you? And they I feel like they kept on like showing the other guys a part of the – you know, a part of queen and they'd just be sitting sitting there nodding a bunch.
01:02:36
Speaker
And it's like, did you guys like contract where you guys contractually obligated to show everyone equally? It was weird. um Oh, I see. Yeah. i don't know. it It just threw me up. I feel like I remember hearing something about that. I just don't know if that's true.
01:02:49
Speaker
um But yeah, just, I remember the editing being a little funky, but anyways, Mike Myers was cool. I like seeing him in that. It's always fun to see him randomly pop up in dramas.
01:03:00
Speaker
Like he was in Inglourious Bastards. I still haven't watched Inglourious Bastards. Oh, haven't seen it yet. Right. Yeah. I don't know why. I should. I know I would like
Unique Recommendation Strategies and Kimmel Incident Impact
01:03:11
Speaker
it.
01:03:11
Speaker
Like, I know. Oh, yeah. There's like no reason why I wouldn't. It's like one of the few. This is an easy one for me. I declare my recommendation for Adrian Pinter Inglourious Bastards.
01:03:24
Speaker
Okay. I do declare. I do declare. For those who don't know and anyone who cares for anyone listening to this podcast for the first time, I don't recommend anything to anybody but one. I only recommend one thing to each person that I know to keep it to keep it sane.
01:03:41
Speaker
That's what I believe. It gets too crazy. People recommend you. You haven't seen that? You got to see that. They say that for every goddamn thing. I don't do that. I don't do that. I will broadly recommend things on the show, obviously. But anyway.
01:03:53
Speaker
um But yeah, Springsteen delivered me from eve from evil. Delivered me from nowhere. Let's go. It's like a religious horror movie.
01:04:05
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, it looks good though. It looks good. I do think Scott Cooper is pretty cool as a director. So it it should be pretty cool. I don't know if i I'll promise to watch it or whatever what whatnot. We haven't seen too many movies in theaters. I've been really busy. You've been busy. But i also I also just kind of been really out of it lately. so This week, though, I didn't say this at the beginning of the podcast.
01:04:23
Speaker
I was super depressed this week, especially because of the Jimmy Kimmel thing. That really got me. I couldn't sleep that night. I just couldn't sleep. i just like It's like there's this idea of the slippery slope of it.
01:04:34
Speaker
The precedent that it sets is really terrifying. and We don't live in the United States, but it matters. It's the most powerful country in the world. and so Scary is what is the word I would use. and so I've been really quite sad this this week, but you were also away on a trip. so We haven't gone to movies in general. We've just been kind of watching stuff at home, which is okay.
01:04:53
Speaker
I've watched a lot, actually.
Film Reviews and Trailer Discussions
01:04:55
Speaker
Oh, good, good. There's an there's an interesting thing think about what we do, too. We're both... We both them subscribe to Cineplex, the Cineplex subscription.
01:05:05
Speaker
So like we're always supporting the theater industry, which I really appreciate. It makes it takes the anxiety away from me. i don't know if that does that for you, but there like i yeah, you know what? It's okay because I i subscribe to – what is the Cineplex? Cineclub.
01:05:18
Speaker
Cineclub, right. um So I don't know. It's kind of cool. it's It's a good thing that we do. I do love it. But yeah, what's your next next trailer that you kind of want to call out here? um That Dust Bunny trailer, I watched that as well. That's a really fun trailer, dude. um It's interesting.
01:05:34
Speaker
It's cool that they brought – like Brian Fuller is pairing up with Madden Mickelson again um because they ah partnered up for Hannibal last. Yeah, that's true. yes yeah So that that was really cool to see. And it's a cool premise. I'm kind of confused because like – Yeah, it's like, do monsters exist is kind of like that how the trailer plays out because it's a little girl that says like, there was a monster under my bed.
01:05:58
Speaker
My parents looked at it. They didn't believe in monsters. And then all of a sudden they get killed by the the monster under the bed. Or so she thinks. And Mads Mikkelsen's like, no, they got killed by a random, like these people that were looking for me.
01:06:09
Speaker
And it's like, oh, okay. Like that. What's true? What's not? Is this going to be kind of like a supernatural movie? Is it not? um It looks really fun though. It looks like a really just like fun, wacky time.
01:06:21
Speaker
So I'm into that for sure. But I didn't watch that trailer. Is it good? I find that Mads is like, he's so, he's got so much gravitas. I feel like he brings a lot of legitimacy to whatever he's in.
01:06:33
Speaker
you know what I'm saying? Like Rogue One, legitimate on its own. But the fact that he's in it as an example, kind of just, it grounds it even in an even bigger way. ah Same with like Death Stranding as an example.
01:06:44
Speaker
It's like, I don't know. There's something about the guy that he's he just getting a lot of gravitas. I really appreciate it. Sorry, Rip, you were mentioning. yeah Did you watch the Rip trailer? No, no, I didn't. I forgot about it. It looks cool.
01:06:54
Speaker
looks cool. Yeah. But yeah, that's all got listed here. The chair company, we didn't talk about, but we were about to before you left, right? Is that right? I can't even remember now. You went to go get hot water or something? We talked about the chair company, yeah.
01:07:06
Speaker
Did we actually talk about it? Briefly. Tim Robinson is just a wacky dude, man. This is going to be crazy because it is the combo. Unlike the movie we watched, Friendship, that movie had Tim Robinson in it. It had stylings of I Think You Should Leave, but this is actually the combo of the two guys who made I Think You Should Leave.
01:07:23
Speaker
Tim Robinson and what's the dude's name? Oh, man. Exactly. canon zach yeah uh yeah canon is canin or canin maybe that makes more sense i think you should leave adrian i'm kidding okay see you man i'm sick tim robinson oh it just says sam richardson with those yeah zach canin yeah k-a-n-i-n yeah yeah it's cool it's cool it's cool anyway it's exciting Anything else? Any other trailers you saw without me?
01:07:56
Speaker
Not that I can remember. I probably did, but I don't remember them. Okay. Sweet. Great. Good stuff. Adrian, it is now time to move on to what we've been watching this week. I will let you go first.
01:08:09
Speaker
um Please discuss. Please tell me what you've seen, what you've watched in this two-week period. I said this week, but watching this by week. Yeah. You want me to start with a movie or TV show?
01:08:22
Speaker
ah Movie. Okay. I watched the Lilo and Stitch live action movie, my friend, because it's on Disney+. Nice. Um, and I still had that subscription prior to everything going down, canceled it. i don't know if you heard me about 45 minutes ago and and what I wrote. Um, stand for this.
01:08:39
Speaker
Yeah. And it's great. I love this movie. It's so adorable. They did a really great job adapting it into a live action movie. I think the casting is remarkable. the animation looks amazing for stitch and all like the tertiary characters like Jumba and, um,
01:08:57
Speaker
uh, Pleakley. Um, it's super heartfelt. It's wholesome. It's just a great fricking watch, man. Like a, like a, just a fun romp. It's genuinely hilarious at, at moments.
01:09:09
Speaker
I loved it, man. It's just, it captures everything that's so cute about Lilo and stitch and brings it to this live action form. The, um, the little girl that plays Lilo. Oh my goodness. I had the name up and then I deleted the tab.
01:09:22
Speaker
Um, I can look her name. to you It's, uh,
01:09:28
Speaker
Oh my goodness. My brain is melting. I got you. Just keep going. Okay. But she is phenomenal. um Honestly, just like the cutest little kid. Maya Kialaha.
01:09:42
Speaker
Wonderful. Kialaha. Kialaha. Sorry. I butchered that really badly. It's okay. Maya Kialaha. Amazing. david I don't know if that's the correct pronunciation, but a for effort, man.
01:09:54
Speaker
She's so cute. It's like there's moment on stage with in the Emmys um where we're Jason Bateman's announcing the winner for best supporting actor in a drama. He's like.
01:10:07
Speaker
Travel Tillman. It's like, dude.
01:10:14
Speaker
Just come on. Come on, man. You literally have a ah podcast where you interview famous people. I guess you didn't get the Trammell Tillman yet. yeah Trammell Tillman. There's an element of like the John Travolta situation where he announced – you remember that? During the Oscars, he is announcing the winner of best song, I think it is.
01:10:36
Speaker
Oh, yeah. It was unbelievable. Yeah, forget. Her name is nothing like that. Like Trammell Tillman is kind of similar to Trammell Tillman. So it's not that crazy.
01:10:47
Speaker
um But I can't remember what the name is. Oh, it was Adele Nazeem. Oh, yeah. is I don't know if that's the correct one or not, though, because there's they're so weirdly different. I think it think it was that one.
01:11:02
Speaker
Anyway. hum But yeah, the and ah she's honestly so cute. She has like a little lisp. in the movie. And it just, i don't know. It's honestly just a very adorable watch. This is the director of Marcel, the shell with shoes on.
01:11:16
Speaker
um What's a man. I have everything open. Dean Fleischer camp. yeah Again, he, he did a Marcel, the shell with shoes on, which is amazing. I love that movie. It's a better movie than this, of course, but again, right really great job.
01:11:30
Speaker
My one thing that I actually didn't love about this movie, funnily enough is Zach Galifianakis. I don't think he does a good job being Jumba Jukiba.
01:11:44
Speaker
Oh. I don't know why. i didn't believe it. It didn't hit... like He doesn't have the charm. like Jumba is... technically the antagonist in the movie, but there's a charm to him.
01:11:55
Speaker
And I feel like for whatever reason, Zach Galifianakis just didn't bring that level of charm. And it's kind of unfortunate because like Billy Magnuson who plays Pleakley. Yeah. Nails it and has like this charm and funny, like comedic nature to him. And it just works really well.
01:12:10
Speaker
um So yeah, I, again, all in all fantastic movie, really, really liked it. Highly recommend this. um If you like, you know, if you just want to like a wholesome, nice kids movie that just, you know,
01:12:22
Speaker
Hits you right in the feels and makes you feel good. It's adorable. It's adorable. Adele Dazeem is a fake name. it's It's actually Idina Menzel.
01:12:33
Speaker
Oh, yeah. So Idina Menzel the correct name of the person, which is an offensive on my part because I feel like, you know,
01:12:42
Speaker
Idina Menzel did a great job and i'm I'm calling her by the name that was made up. Because see, it was ah for Frozen. It was the Let It Go yeah um performance that won. Yeah, Idina Menzel.
01:12:54
Speaker
Good shit. Anyway, whatever. Yeah, okay, cool. So Lilo and Stitch, a grand success. Here's my question about Lilo and Stitch. right So Lilo and Stitch is a live action remake from Disney.
01:13:06
Speaker
How faithful is it? And is is it amazing because they were so faithful that it was amazing? and or Or was it because of the distance between when you watch the animated movie and this that made you kind of really like this? Because there's a problem with like The Lion King where The Lion King is just kind of worse in the live action form. Mm-hmm.
01:13:24
Speaker
But it's also very faithful for the most part. So like what...
01:13:29
Speaker
I mean, Lion King is not a comedy as well. So Lilo and Stitch can have different comedic moments and maybe that can help it. But what do you think? like what What did it do well that makes it a good live action remake from Disney is really the question I'm asking. Yeah, i think um I think just the casting was really fantastic. And they do they do follow the story quite faithfully. They do adjust some things and they expand it. Because the original Lilo and Stitch movie, I think is like a brisk hour and a half, maybe an hour 25, something like that. And this movie is a solid half hour longer. It's almost two hours.
01:14:00
Speaker
um So I think like what they added to it probably adds an effect. And I, again, I just think the casting is so perfect and it just captures cuteness in such a way that you just can't help but feel good about it.
01:14:14
Speaker
They do adjust the ending a little bit. And I remember hearing a lot about ah people complaining about the ending being like, Oh, they made it blah, blah, blah, blah. blah Like it's, it's not following the exact same ending and it's more like they they made it almost sad.
01:14:28
Speaker
And I, wholeheartedly disagree. i think the ending is wonderful in this. And I think, Again, it's you know they they I'm sure they're going to do a sequel. I think they already greenlit a sequel.
01:14:40
Speaker
um and I don't think there's any issues with it. i really loved it. um Genuinely, start to finish. I think there are a couple of things. you know The editing seems a little bit funky at times. like There's like these quick cuts.
01:14:51
Speaker
I don't know, again, if it's like you're just making it for a younger audience, so you need to keep their attention. right But what makes this successful in comparison to like a Lion King? like why do you Why do you think this live action works? Because like a lot of the live action Disney movies have been kind of thought of is as a kind of a failure from a critic's perspective. You know what i mean? like Not necessarily from the audiences because obviously Lion King made a billion dollars. So it didn't fail in that regard. But it's just in terms of the love of it.
01:15:16
Speaker
People didn't love it. Yeah. I genuinely believe it's about how cute it is. I'm not even kidding. That helps. And I think the comedic aspect, because Lion King really isn't much of a comedy in comparison in both versions of it. You know, like the the animated movie is funny, but it's just Timon and Pumbaa that bring the laughs. It's not really that funny. It's actually quite a dark.
01:15:36
Speaker
Hamlet's pretty dark. So that makes sense. but And also the Lion King is expressionless. Like that, sure none of the lions have expressions. Yeah. They're very realistic.
01:15:47
Speaker
And also they cut out some of the songs and it's it's less cute. The music actually. Yeah. Yeah. It's significantly less cute. yeah Um, the music isn't as good. I think, um, they sing, can you feel the love tonight in the middle of the day?
01:16:00
Speaker
Like things like that. That's so dumb, man. That, that part i agree with. I didn't hate the Lion King movie. I think it's just kind of pointless. Um, yeah. But i that that is really stupid. Why would you sing that in the day?
01:16:13
Speaker
don't know. Oh, I forgot about that. Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah. Okay. Cool, man. The Old Stitch, fantastic. Loved it. um That's great. Another movie I watched, totally different.
01:16:25
Speaker
ah This was added to Amazon Prime here in Canada recently. I watched it on the plane coming home. Clown in a cornfield. so he's like a horror slasher. yeah um It's made by the director of Tucker and Dale versus evil from a while back.
01:16:40
Speaker
Right. Which is a really great horror comedy. This is kind of a horror comedy. Leans a little bit more into like the horror aspect. um There's a lot more like it starts off by like, like a very predictable,
01:16:59
Speaker
slasher movie like very much so up until about the halfway point where they're they kind of like pulls the rug out from under you and does some interesting things which i enjoyed i don't love this movie though it's like again it's hyper violent it's fun it's a good watch i don't regret watching it but compared to like other recent slasher movies like the the you know scream five and six like um hard eyes um I just don't think it's anywhere near as good.
01:17:28
Speaker
And the ending is kind of abrupt as well. I was i was kind of confused. Like, ah it actually it actually took me for a loop. was like, wait, what? And it almost seems like sequel bait, weirdly enough, which a lot of slasher movies do.
01:17:42
Speaker
But I think it still wraps things up a lot of the time in other slasher movies. I don't know. It just... It just didn't hit the spot for me, unfortunately, um as much as I wanted it to.
01:17:54
Speaker
But again, i don't regret watching it. It's enjoyable. If you want to just watch like a silly kind of slasher movie with a couple of laughs, but worth watching. Again, not amazing, though, by any stretch of the imagination.
01:18:05
Speaker
And if you have access to something like Hard Eyes or, again, the Scream movies, I would i recommend those over this a million times over. A couple other things I watched.
01:18:17
Speaker
I'm still watching Alien Earth. I'll talk about that probably next episode because that's when it will officially be released. And thankfully, my um Disney Plus subscription runs out. Is it the finale? Yep.
01:18:28
Speaker
Oh, thank God for you. yeah so it runs out just after so i'm i'm grateful for that i'll talk about it yeah i will say fucking awesome dude so good so fucking good man well holly's yeah um i love it and i can't wait to continue watching it and or like finish it um peacemaker also really good um do you want to talk about peacemaker bit because i'm sure you've been watching it as well do you have much to say So the crazy things like Peacemaker, ah my fiance is on a work trip this weekend.
01:18:59
Speaker
So she's away. And so I didn't watch it because she was away Friday and we would watch it Friday typically. Okay. So we just didn't see it yet. So I have nothing to say. It's good. If you want to say something, it's good. I won't spend much time. We can talk about it more next episode. Really good though. Okay. I love it.
01:19:15
Speaker
um Yeah, yeah. And then I watched two other shows. okay while i was gone on my work trip one is the shane gillis netflix series ti tires yeah i watched the first season of that six episodes cool really good i really enjoyed it it's a it's a silly comedy takes it's it's essentially about the the setup of it is you know this these cast of characters are running a auto shop and the guy that runs it he's like the son of like The guy that used to own it and owns like multiple stores. So he's managing this tire shop and he stupidly orders a shit ton of tires in bulk by accident. or Well, not by accident, just because he gets duped into it because he's a little bit, you know, he's not the brightest individual. He doesn't know how to run a business. So he but buys a shit ton of tires and that's kind of the setup of the show.
01:20:05
Speaker
And, you know, Shane Gillis is one of the the technicians in it. But honestly, I don't i don't really know if he is because he doesn't do work ever in the show. He's just kind of there for comedic relief. And he's like the cousin of the guy that runs it.
01:20:18
Speaker
Right. But it's really funny. It's super raunchy. It is like very much like boy humor. Like when you think about like boy humor, not like male humor. I mean, like boy humor, like toilet humor.
01:20:30
Speaker
It's really stupid and fucking. Immature. Yeah. Yeah, immature, hyper offensive, you know, like like like, you know, they don't really stay what it like stray away from talking about race and and things like that or like sexuality and everything like that. Like a really fun man. Like it's a good watch. And I was I was just in the mood for something like short, sweet, something that I could kind of put on and laugh at.
01:20:55
Speaker
And I found myself laughing quite often. I'm excited to watch season two because there's 12 episodes in season two instead of six. um Yeah, really good, man. I really like it. i um You know, you might like it. it's It reminds me of kind of like earlier Office in a way, not in the like cringe aspect of season one, but in like the willingness to be kind of offensive ah that the earlier seasons of Office had and like a good cast of characters. But realistically, like
01:21:29
Speaker
Although there are other actors in it, it really just follows the, you know, Shane Gillis and the, oh man, what's the other guy's show? The other guy's name.
01:21:43
Speaker
mostly Steve Gerben, um, who I think is another like comedic writer. It really just follows them mostly. And then they have like, they're like additional people that like are supporting cast members. Um, Andrew Schultz, which is another popular comedian.
01:21:57
Speaker
He's in like a few episodes, episodes Stavros Hulk, Hulk ice. He's in like a few episodes as well. Um, another like standup comedian. Um, But again, it's really just like Steve Gerben and Shane Gillis, like trying to figure out like what they're doing and like Shane Gillis essentially just being a total twat and like, know, just being...
01:22:16
Speaker
being kind of a dickhead, but it is like, there is like this wholesome level where it's not just Steve Gerben's character will being like, Oh my God, I'm flustered. Like stop acting this way. It's like, he's very immature as well. And he's trying to be serious, but he'll like break a lot of the time. And they'll like joke around. And like, it's clear that they have a really good relationship, even in the, like, even in the show, even though it's technically like, you know, so like we'll being the manager of the shop.
01:22:41
Speaker
um Yeah. I really like it. It's fun. And then the last thing I watched, Simon, Yes.
Adolescence and Fargo Series Review
01:22:47
Speaker
We'll talk about the Emmys, but there was a show that did very, very well at the Emmys, a limited series called Adolescence.
01:22:55
Speaker
Oh, right. Yeah. Netflix. Yeah. Which is a four episode anthology series. I watched all four episodes. Yes. This show is fucking amazing, dude. Oh, it is. It's dark.
01:23:10
Speaker
Well, it is. It is dark, but it is brilliant. It's so well written. Yeah. um You know, amazingly acted. But the real thing that like stands out and is how well this show is directed.
01:23:25
Speaker
Every episode is a one or every single one start to finish. There are no cuts. The camera follows. Everything is done in one take. I wonder they do tricks, though.
01:23:37
Speaker
They don't because i watch the Emmys and they talk about it, actually. oh um Stephen Graham, who plays ah the father, and he was like one of the writers on it. He literally says like every episode was done in one take at the Emmys. He mentioned it because actually watched the Emmys. You watched the Emmys?
01:23:51
Speaker
Yeah. Do you have TV? um Again, every time we can access it on Fire Stick, my fiance's mom has Bell. And we just accessed it through Bell 5. Oh, you're still getting it. Okay, good. Yeah, I didn't have access, so I just didn't bother.
01:24:05
Speaker
That's cool that we reversed roles. Normally, I'm the one to watch the award shows. Yeah, so I watched it. What made you watch it? i Because you were saying I was going to fill you in last two weeks ago. You were like, ah, you'll fill me in on the Emmys. I'm sure. um We were kind of just sitting. We didn't know what to watch. And I was like, wait, the Emmys are on.
01:24:24
Speaker
And then we just switched over to the Emmys. And we ended up watching the whole thing. good. And yeah, dude, this show is amazing. I think the um ah director of photography, Matthew Lewis.
01:24:37
Speaker
I remember I wrote it down, but i don't know. don't where I wrote down. What about him? um Director of photography. he's He's the director of photography in Adolescence, I think. Maybe not. Yeah.
01:24:51
Speaker
It is? Okay, yeah, he is. Dude, holy shit. This guy's like um he's a master at his craft. Again, every scene – I guess like every episode, because the entire episode is one scene that just continues is so well done.
01:25:05
Speaker
And even like these, like you, that what you typically think as meandering where people are just walking down a hallway or something like that is done with such purpose. And like I, my eyes are glued to the screen the entire time and it's really cool. So the premise of the show is a kid gets arrested on suspicion of murder Yeah. Of murdering one of his classmates.
01:25:29
Speaker
And that's kind of the setup of the show. And it just like pretty much begins as, as the police are breaking into this house and arresting this kid. And like, that's what the first episode is.
01:25:40
Speaker
And it just follows that. And it's cool because the, how the, the, the show is broken down is it's day one is episode one. Day three is episode two, seven months in is episode three. And then 13 months in is episode four.
01:25:53
Speaker
So it's just these different points in time and you still get the full story, even though you're only seeing an hour of a random day that are months apart in some of these cases.
01:26:07
Speaker
And that's where the writing comes in of how just well it's written and just everyone's acting is phenomenal. Episode three in particular is one of the best episodes of television I've watched since Andor.
01:26:24
Speaker
Yeah. Like it's, it, which again, it's, it's not saying much because Andor came out this year. um But it is just so good, dude. Everything about this is just fantastic. And I, I don't have a recommendation out for you, Simon.
01:26:39
Speaker
And I'm not going to recommend this right now because I feel like you know maybe you don't want to watch something so dark and dire. i just recommend something You just recommended something to me last week, didn't you? What did i recommend? I don't remember.
01:26:51
Speaker
Did I? What did you recommend? doesn't matter. Okay. It doesn't matter i'm not recommending this to you. Yeah. Yeah. I'm probably going watch it. It's only four episodes and I'm about to get Netflix because I have a little little empty space now where Disney Plus was for October here. Yeah.
01:27:08
Speaker
so So yeah, really good, man. Wow. Wow. What a show. And it makes sense why it won so many Emmys. So. Yeah. Yeah. was the limited series specific Emmys that it won. Yeah.
01:27:19
Speaker
Limited series or anthology. What's the category that it's in? Yeah. Yeah. Is it better than the Penguin? Is it better than the Penguin? Is it? It could be. Did I like the Penguin more?
01:27:32
Speaker
I think so. Oh, cool. But it is still really good. Yeah. Okay. Interesting. Yeah. The Penguin was really good. It was a really good series. I know, dude. That series is remarkable. Yeah. remarkable every episode because you're like, how is he going to get out of this one?
01:27:45
Speaker
Every single thing we talked about this is like every episode. You're like, whoa, how is he going to get out of this one though? yeah but But at the end of every episode, it's the same question. Like he won't get out of this one, but like he's kind of has to because he's going to probably be in the Batman too. so Yeah. Yeah.
01:27:59
Speaker
I guess we'll see. But yeah, Matt Reeves was like hyping hyping it up a little bit. they yeah Matt Reeves showed like the orchestra, I think it's Michael Giacchino again doing the score for the Batman 2. But they showed like the the orchestra and he's like, I'm so excited to talk more about the Batman, but happy Batman Day. Is that today or yesterday? Regardless, they also released a clip for that Batman Lego game and James Gunn was in it in the beginning of it talking about the Batman Lego game.
01:28:23
Speaker
I was like, it's a long, like it's like an eight minute episode. video and there's it's really epic and all like the creators who made who had a hand in making it and some some of the people from dc are talking and hyping it up i'm like why is this so hyped up it's coming out in 2026 but it's because it's batman day when it was released um we're recording this on a saturday um so if you're wondering how well it's not batman day today when you're listening to this that's because we didn't record it on the day you're listening to it obviously this was in the past yeah we're time travelers Okay, cool. Adolescence. I really watched, I feel like I finished a show, but I didn't write it down like a dummy.
01:28:59
Speaker
And so i'm going to go through the show watched. I've been watching most recently and I can go through the show that I finished at the end, but I i just don't remember what I thought. Oh, I finished the studio. i I just finished watching the studio season one and it was excellent.
01:29:13
Speaker
It was excellent. um Very good. And also won a lot Emmys. um Not won the most, actually. But yeah, yeah it's crazy. um But we'll get into that. But we'll get into that later. What I did watch start watching, though, and I you know i just said Noah Hawley is awesome. And he really is. I've been watching season four of Fargo.
01:29:33
Speaker
And I really like it. I really like season four of Fargo. It's the most controversial season in terms of critics' review scores. It's like 60-something percent on Rotten Tomatoes. So it's not as well regarded as the other seasons. so even the most recent season, season five.
01:29:48
Speaker
But it's cool. Timothy Oliphant's in this one as well. And he's great in it. and you got You got a little um chris Chris Rock in there, which is super great too.
01:30:00
Speaker
And it's good. And oh, gee Jason Schwartzman is in it as well. It's cool. I really like it. And... It's so far. Anyway, watched four episodes, I believe, so far.
01:30:13
Speaker
The only problem is... Are you watching it with your fiance? I am. Okay. Yes. Yeah, we watched all the seasons over again ah together, like one, two, and three, and then we started into into four.
01:30:25
Speaker
Nice. ah Just recently, and it's on Crave, so that's how we're watching it. Yeah. I think it's also on Amazon. Is it not? Is it? I don't think so. I don't think so. If it is, then I'll go to Amazon because Crave didn't do subtitles and there's like there's Italian mobsters and they're speaking Italian.
01:30:42
Speaker
And I can't understand what they're saying because i don't speak Italian. It's very annoying with no subtitles. like yeah i How am I supposed to know what they're saying? It doesn't make any sense. It's very annoying. um I wish there were subtitles, but alas, there aren't. Every time that i somebody starts speaking Italian, i have to put on the overall subtitles so I can understand what they're saying in English and they have to shut them off when it's an English scene, English speaking scene.
01:31:04
Speaker
It's very silly. But does this is Crave 4. Yeah, Crave is the most inconsistent streaming service. But now my least favorite streaming service is Disney+. plus so So it doesn't matter, I guess, as much.
01:31:15
Speaker
Because if it was on Disney+, plus I'd be screwed right now because I wouldn't be able to finish. the season um but yeah i finished another i think another comedy too oh i talked about that last time yeah we've just been slowly making our way through flower season four and again really great like it's funny that it's so badly reviewed i wonder if it's going to get worse as it goes but it's basically in this one it's in the nineteen fifty s and it's taking place that gets basically there's racism of course it's the nineteen fifty s america Yeah.
01:31:46
Speaker
It takes place in, doesn't take place in Minnesota. It's got some characters who are from Minnesota, but doesn't take place in Minnesota. takes risk It takes a a place in Milwaukee. it's ah It's Milwaukee, right? Well, maybe I'm crazy.
01:32:00
Speaker
Where's Kansas City, Adrian? ah Don't say Kansas.
01:32:07
Speaker
Missouri, Milwaukee. What a what am I freaking saying? This is like the geo geography of the United States episodes for a podcast here. But yes, it's Missouri. It's Kansas City, Missouri um this time. And there's some characters from – specifically from the Fargo and Minnesota kind of area, which is neat.
01:32:28
Speaker
But there's there's basically two gangs going at it. They trade each other's sons back and forth. So the Italian mobsters in – in Kansas city and this like, uh, like basically I don't know what the name of the gang is, but it's Chris rocks gang. And it's like, they're basically all like but black gangsters basically.
01:32:51
Speaker
And so there's this, like they're, they're fighting each other, but then they stopped the war by trading each other's sons to each other. So it's it's like they did. i feel like they did this in various like dynasties in the past. Like I think this happened in,
01:33:04
Speaker
in Japan at times as well, there was like, they would trade, you would trade, you would give, give your son away so that you take care of this person's son. And then you like have a connection to them. So you don't want to like fuck them over.
01:33:15
Speaker
It's kind of like, that's the strategy, but it looks, it's, it's pretty cool. The thing is, is that the standout character is actually not from neither of those gangs. It's a, I'm trying to look it up here.
01:33:27
Speaker
Fargo season four cast. There's one person who am forgetting her name? And she's in, um, What thing did we watch recently? She's in it. I don't know, man.
01:33:38
Speaker
I'm looking at What's the actress's name? and That's the person. I'm trying to figure out her name. That's what I'm saying. I don't remember her name. um
01:33:47
Speaker
What? Why isn't it giving me the full cast and crew? It's this full cast and crew. It just says writers. Jesse Buckley. Yes. She in. Her character is crazy, man. She's from the. Men.
01:33:58
Speaker
Yeah. No, there's another movie that I was thinking of, though. I'm thinking of ending things. I never watched that. Anyway, whatever. Who cares? The devil me. The Dark Pictures Anthology, The Devil in Me. You're right. Yeah, that. Actually, that could have been it, be honest. that's that was aft That was before Men, I think.
01:34:13
Speaker
um But yeah, Jessie Buckley is really good in this, and her character is crazy. It's very fun to watch, though. There's a lot of wacky characters in this, and there's a lot of different moving parts, as there kind of have been in the rest of the Fargo seasons.
01:34:29
Speaker
Fargo... I feel like the Fargo series is incredibly underrated. Am I wrong about that? It's kind of ignored in in some way. People just don't talk about it. I've mentioned it to people and they look at me like I'm crazy. Like, what's that?
01:34:43
Speaker
And they like they like the the the movie they suggest? I'm like, no, like the TV show, which is nothing like the movie really. It is. It actually perfectly captures the vibe of the movie in some strange way. But it's nothing like it in that the plot is completely different. It just captures the vibe perfectly.
01:34:58
Speaker
And this... Season is different than all the others, just like the seasons before. I feel like season one and three are the closest to each other in terms of similarity. And two and I guess two and four are kind of similar in some capacity.
01:35:10
Speaker
But it's cool. They have these overlapping characters. Oh, there's another really cool. I don't know why I can't freaking find the cast. So annoying. And DB, I feel like, again, I said this before, but I feel like it's hard to use and it's harder to use than ever.
01:35:23
Speaker
I just always, I just Google it. I go Fargo season forecast. That's how I saw it. And then it just brings it up in like the Google AI engine type situation. It's not always good, but yeah. ah A character, like an actor who I don't see very much. And I'm going to bring, oh, Ben Whishaw.
01:35:38
Speaker
Ben Whishaw is great. If I recall correctly, he was in i'm Shrinking. No, is it Shrinking that he's in? He's in Shrinking? Is he? Oh, wait, no, I'm mixing him up. No, he's in Paddington. He's in the James Bond movies.
01:35:53
Speaker
He's in um that Beatles movie, the the Across the Universe. Mm-hmm. um He's in lots of things, but he's just i've I've noticed that he's not been in as many things recently, and he's just kind of great.
01:36:06
Speaker
I feel like he's really cool. he Basically, he plays a character who is... so This trading of sons thing is like a traditional thing that other gangs... There's an Irish gang and Italian gang, and they traded sons as well.
01:36:18
Speaker
and He's an Irish... He's like a grown son of this Irish gang because he he he like he was traded at one point. So there's like this like weird lineage of people. this That's how the show starts, like right from the beginning. It's just a bunch of like crime families trading each other's sons back and forth. It just keeps like trade.
01:36:36
Speaker
It's like a crazy situation, um but it just like kind of fosters some kind of weird resentment. But there's like these they're they're in like a diplomatic truce, and they're they negotiating constantly.
01:36:47
Speaker
Uh, but it's cool. It's really cool. It's a really, it's, it's, it's great that it changes so much every season. And, uh, yeah, I think you'd like it. I think, I think you you would like it just as you love Fargo. I love it. Yeah. Maybe I'll watch it after I finish alien earth.
01:37:01
Speaker
Yeah. Um, yeah. Ben, Ben was shot. He, he does. He voices Paddington bear. Also. Yes. That's a good one too. Yeah. Yeah. That's true.
01:37:13
Speaker
Yeah, that's all I've watched, basically. Nothing really more to say. ah i i just I've been playing a lot of video games. I just platinum Death Stranding. That was a freaking... I don't recommend that to anyone. I've got to be real.
01:37:28
Speaker
It's quite... Platinuming it. Playing it, yes. Platinuming it, no. Yeah, platinum-ing it. Yeah, correct. Playing it. Yes. Don't platinum it, but but play it 100%. Because it's it's one of the best games of the year.
01:37:42
Speaker
For sure. It's my favorite game of the year so far that I've played anyway. But yeah, OK, man, let's ah let's move on now to the montage, Adrian, a sequence of our show in which I briefly present seven of the biweek smaller news stories as Adrian delivers a brisk verdict.
01:37:57
Speaker
Number one, according to publication Deadline, The Smashing Machine director Benny Safdie is set to direct a film adaptation of Daniel Pinkwater's novel Lizard Music and has cast Dwayne The Rock Johnson as Chicken Man in the new film.
01:38:12
Speaker
Chicken Man, the Chicken Man, dude. That's right. That's crazy. I can't believe that. Yeah. Apparently that's why he's he's lost some weight. If you've seen him in some photos at some of the festivals, because he's playing chicken man, which is a man who befriends ah some kind of a chicken.
01:38:26
Speaker
Anyway. Number two, as announced by Warner Brothers, comedian Tim Robinson's upcoming HBO series, The Chair Company, has now been scheduled to premiere on October 12th, 2024. 2025, because that would going back time. 2025. The series will feature eight twenty twenty five the series will feature eight weekly releasing episodes.
01:38:44
Speaker
Amazing. I can't wait. I'm so curious about this. Number three. A day ahead of its season four premiere, Apple has announced that Apple TV Plus drama series The Morning Show has been renewed for a fifth season. Cool. I haven't seen any of it.
01:38:58
Speaker
Number four. According to Deadline, Fantastic Four First Steps actor Paul Walter Hauser has been cast in director Zack Kreger's upcoming Resident Evil film adaptation. That's awesome, man. I feel like Paul Walter Hauser has just been slowly blowing up. He's in more and more things, and it's cool to see. He's great. Yeah.
01:39:16
Speaker
Number five. According to Deadline, Sneaky Pete actor Giovanni Ribisi has been cast in the Jon Hamm-starring MGM Plus series American Hostage. Based on a true story, the upcoming TV series is about a hostage taker, played by Ribisi, who forces a radio host, played by Hamm,
01:39:33
Speaker
to interview him on his radio show in the nineteen seventy s that seems like a cool premise the fucks mgm plus though like da what we talked about that last week i don't quite know i don't understand how mgm is owned by amazon why are they making another streaming service is that the imdb remember there' was an imdb streaming service
01:39:57
Speaker
Yeah. So did they remove that and make it MGM? I don't know. I don't know. I look into that because that show does look interesting. Anyway, number six, according to Deadline, Ryan Murphy's fourth season of TV series Monster for Netflix will follow late 1800s axe murderer Lizzie Borden, played by Ella Beatty, whose older sister will be played by American Horror Story actor Billy Lord.
01:40:22
Speaker
The series' third season about serial killer Ed Gein starring Charlie Hunnam is set to premiere on Netflix on October 3rd.
01:40:31
Speaker
haven't watched on andy's show okay and don't know i just just say ah and then do a long pause and i was gonna say that's it and then i was goingnna continue but said more Number seven, as it confirmed by Disney, Daredevil Born Again has been renewed for season three on Disney+, plus with production set to begin next year.
01:40:49
Speaker
Awesome, dude. I thought, yeah, like originally I feel like it was planned to just be the two episodes.
01:40:56
Speaker
seasons it was originally yeah two seasons yeah well originally it's supposed to be one long season that was divided into two seasons but now it's three seasons that they're adding more to right here's the conflict for me am i gonna watch season two i don't know when does that come out jury's still out next year early next year apparently i'm i'm not sure whether i'm gonna watch anything from disney for a little while i'm certainly not watching avatar I was on the fence before the situation with Jimmy Kimmel, but I got stick to my guns for a little while. you know, I got to make them hurt a little bit. we all We each kind of have a vote with our wallet, and the only thing that really matters is the money that's coming into Disney. It's torrented. People could say, oh it doesn't matter. But in reality, that's like saying it doesn't matter to vote in an in an election. That matters almost less.
01:41:42
Speaker
In some capacity, there's us. Just man. Just steal it. There's also that. you can steal it, but yeah, like I'm not going steal watching the Spider-Man brand new day movie in theaters. Anyway, we're in the montage. I almost lost myself there. And that concludes the montage.
01:41:57
Speaker
Wow. All right, Adrian. Now to get to the topic of the show for episode 119, a topic which concerns the 77th annual Emmy Awards. As is customary, the Emmy Awards were broken up into two distinctive shows.
01:42:10
Speaker
The primetime Emmy Awards ceremony that was broadcast on network CBS on September 12th, hosted by comedian Nate Bargetzi, and the Creative Arts Emmys, which were not publicly broadcasted in any major way, but took place on September 6th and seventh The Creative Arts Emmys consist of awards categories like sound design, costume design, picture editing, and music, while the Primetime Emmys usually consist of the categories with the more public-facing recipients, categories like Best Acting, Directing, Writing, and the Best Overall Comedy and Drama.
01:42:42
Speaker
intern Interestingly, the overall ratings for the Primetime Emmys this year were up 8%, according to Nielsen Ratings over last year, of course. That was the highest level of viewership since 2021, Nielsen Ratings.
Emmy Awards Highlights
01:42:55
Speaker
says nielson writing Adrian, this is ah something we've been doing on this podcast since we booted up booted it back up again. for the 101st episode, um we're going to kind of go back and forth with notable mentions from the award show.
01:43:12
Speaker
So you'll go, I go, you'll go, I go um three to five times approximately with notable mentions like things that happened during the showcase and potentially, well, especially d actually the actually, the award winners that you were kind of, kind of most happy to see or most surprised to see Yeah.
01:43:31
Speaker
ah You would have a better perspective on this. I kind of expected that you had not seen this, but you have. So you'll have a better perspective than me, which is cool. We should lend some some interesting information as we go.
01:43:43
Speaker
um I'll let you go first. As is customary, what do you think? What did you think of the awards? And I guess, what is your first pick? Yeah, um I thought the award show was actually pretty cool. I i haven't seen any of Nate Bargazzi's comedy specials. Bargazzi.
01:44:00
Speaker
bagatzi i haven't seen any of them regatzi brigat brigatza it's not otzi it was just shocking to me bagatzi it's bagatzi bagatzi apparently i i looked it up multiple times and i'm like it just doesn't feel natural yeah i i feel like they even said it when i was like and now to your host nate bagatzi But maybe not. I don't know. I think they said Nate Brigette.
01:44:24
Speaker
Maybe. Maybe. I don't remember, dude. Go on. He seems like a delight. haven't seen any of his stand-ups. I kind of want to watch his stand-up now. He was the highest grossing comedian in 2024. Oh. Good for him. That's likely why they hired him.
01:44:40
Speaker
Yeah. he seems He just seems like a nice fella. He's a clean comedian. as well That's what he's known for. Well, I hope he showers. um You know what I mean. He doesn't swear.
01:44:51
Speaker
Family friendly. um But it it was funny because I don't know if you heard, like it they had like a charity thing set up at the start. Yeah. i watched a lot of clips. I watched a lot of clips. I wanted to stay current for this podcast, but...
01:45:06
Speaker
You thought it fell flat. the So I guess we'll explain that. So the charity thing was basically for the those who didn't watch the Emmys and see the social media clips. Nate Bregatsey, he basically had a plan where he was trying to keep the speeches small.
01:45:19
Speaker
So he was trying to keep them under 45 seconds. Every second over 45 seconds would take money out of a pot that was going to charity. It was $100,000 allotment that was going to go to charity. and so If you spoke one second over, it would drop $1,000. Every second was down but if you kept your speech under seconds, he would add money to the overall one hundred thousand dollars pot which i thought was kind of clever and I mean, you would know better if it fell flat. I thought it was really funny when in the clips that I watched because I specifically cherry picked the clips that I watched. Like I thought John Oliver's was hilarious as an example when he won for last week tonight.
01:45:58
Speaker
So and that that, I guess it didn't fall flat for me because I didn't watch the Emmys, I think. I just watched the kind of the highlights, but. Yeah. um Because i kept on going back to it. And by the end, it literally was like negative tens of thousands of dollars. And then he's like, OK, well, anyways, doesn't really matter. Like CBS is putting in 100,000 and I'm putting in like $250,000. Yeah, they ended up going way more than they would have ever ah garnered if they actually kept the speeches under 45 seconds. But people were upset about this on social media. Did you see that?
01:46:29
Speaker
No, I don't care. It's just so stupid though. Why? Yeah. If you want to upset about everything, dude, everything. I just, I just don't care. Fuck them.
01:46:41
Speaker
Um, but yeah. Um, so a couple of things that really stuck out to me. I'm going to point out a snub, a huge snub, in my opinion, the bear season four season three.
01:46:57
Speaker
Oh, it was season three. You told me that. Oh yeah. Okay. Nevermind. Yeah. Season four is amazing. So I think it will get more nominations. Right? are we wrong? Can you look that up just to make sure? I'm looking up Nate Pagazzi's name just so I pronounce it correctly.
01:47:14
Speaker
It's on, he's on a.
01:47:23
Speaker
I don't know, man. I can't right now. Sorry, my brain's not working. Anyways, it was snubbed. It won zero. But if it was for season three, it kind of makes sense. Right. but Six nominations. Yeah. But did you find, you didn't find that?
01:47:36
Speaker
No, I can't right now. I'm looking and my brain's not functioning. ah Okay. Okay. Sorry. Okay.
01:47:47
Speaker
It's okay. It's not a problem. Okay. Okay. But yeah, either the way, either way, it didn't win anything. That is a good call out because they did one like so many awards the year before. So that, that, that it's still a good call out regardless of whether they, because also, also like people should put their money where their mouth is. I know this isn't critics voting on this. It's the Academy of, it is the third season. Yeah.
01:48:08
Speaker
TV arts. Okay, cool. Third season. But yeah, it's not like it's the critics voting on this, but I find it hilarious that Rotten Tomatoes thought that season three was almost as good as season two for the bear. And I just think that's outrageous because season four is better and it's reviewed way worse than season three is. And was just like, I don't, how, where do you get these numbers from? Where do you, where do you get your scores from? It doesn't make sense.
01:48:29
Speaker
Yeah. don't know Anyway. Okay. That's a good call. That's a good call. It, but it looks like it is Breggetsy based on a Jimmy Fallon clip here. Okay. um But yeah, my call-out was – I was going to make a call-out about the charity stunt, which I thought was great. But again, that's cool that you have a different perspective because you actually watched the show.
01:48:47
Speaker
that's neat. I'm going to call out the most obvious one. There are 13 wins for between the both the Creative Arts Emmys and the Primetime Emmys for the studio, which is – believe they're a current record old holder for most wins in one Emmys.
01:49:02
Speaker
Is it tied? Is it tied? I remember reading it was tied, but again – I feel like my brain is just deteriorating the longer we've been doing this. ah like I don't know what's real. they got 11 wins. What the frick?
01:49:15
Speaker
I read 13 in a different spot. I don't know. This could be wrong. Let's be real. Oh, the bear had... How many did the bear have? The bear had 11.
01:49:27
Speaker
The studio should have 13. I'm pretty sure the studio has 13. Wait, the studio says this has 11. wait the studio says this has eleven Well, um new record holder for most semis won by a comedy series in a single year. Last year's haul from the bear was the previous record high of 11. Yeah.
01:49:43
Speaker
So they beat the bear. You know what's crazy? So I just typed in the bear season most wins for one Emmys and it says 11 wins. Seth Rogen's the studio has now set an Emmy record with 11 wins and counting for his first season. That's what the eighty Google AI says.
01:49:58
Speaker
And that's clearly incorrect. But it's saying that because it's also talking about the bear in the same like paragraph and it just got it confused.
01:50:09
Speaker
shock Actually, it's using Facebook as ah as a reference. I don't understand what's going on. when i When I clicked in later on, it's saying that the bear has 10 trophies. And then another 15 articles below, it said the bear has 11. And then if you look up, the studio has 13. Anyway, the 13 for the studio is the record currently.
01:50:27
Speaker
The interesting thing is that Seth Rogen has never won an award as he stated in his life, which I thought was funny. And he won three awards in one night for best directing, best writing, and best show.
01:50:38
Speaker
Oh, wait, no. That's not right. He didn't get best writing. He got best directing, best acting, and best show. um they didn't get I don't think they got best writing, if i if if I remember correctly. But anyway, yeah, that's pretty cool.
01:50:52
Speaker
So good for good for Seth Rogen. He killed it. I agree. That show is really excellent. It's great. Speaking of wonders, it's funny. It's a year of wonders in a way, because that show is riddled with wonders. It's constantly one-shot wonders throughout the show.
01:51:06
Speaker
the the first season, which is really impressive. fit Yeah, that's right. Stupid. But yeah. yeah and so But that's cool though because like that that show is – it lends itself to that quite a bit because – and one of the adolescents does as well. I find this isn't always the case with Oners, but it is – in oh Actually, it is in a lot of things, but I think in like ah a thing like God of War, it's a one-er.
01:51:34
Speaker
But there's a more time in a video game to play through it as ah as a one-shot type of situation. But I'm thinking about the the things we watched recently. like If you watch the Bears' one-er episode, the Studios' one-er episode...
01:51:45
Speaker
um even like 19 what is it 1914 no 1917 1917 um nineteen seventeen um that a lot of these things are very chaotic which is interesting there's like a lot of the bear episode there's a wonder is complete stress and anxiety and the studio is like that too there's just like this franticness they're constantly in a frantic mess they're just they're all they're all like full of crazy stress um um And I feel like the oners really lend themselves to that, but it's really cool. They they won a lot and I think it was well-deserved, but yeah.
01:52:18
Speaker
Yeah, cool. Okay. What's your next pick? My next pick is when Elizabeth Banks went on stage for Best Directing for a limited or anthology series, called out how amazing it was that five of the six nominated directors were women.
01:52:35
Speaker
And then the winner winner was the one man, Philip Barantini for Adolescence.
01:52:43
Speaker
That was crazy. I was like, sorry, what was the award? Best directing so for a limited series or anthology series. Yeah. Isn't it a limited series or movie anthology series?
01:52:54
Speaker
Yeah. Limited series or anthology. Oh, I always thought it was limited series or movie because anthology series is a limited series. Am I crazy? but No, like an anthology series could be like a, um,
01:53:09
Speaker
Like that, the American Horror Story, where it's like multiple seasons. Or Monster is an anthology series. Yeah, but I just consider i think they just consider that a limited series. I thought it would it includes movies is my point. It's limited series or movie, isn't it? Or those cat different categories. This my point. yeah they Are they including... I wrong about that?
01:53:28
Speaker
Maybe I'm I think so. Best limited or anthology series, yeah. Okay, I don't know where I got that. I thought limited series or a movie. This whole time. Like a TV movie? Yeah, yeah. i don't Only on TV. That movie with... ah This is going to be a weird inside baseball. there's that HBO does a bunch of these movies where they're like only on...
01:53:48
Speaker
HBO. Only on HBO and they don't actually do. There's one with Hugh Jackman and ah I was going to name it but I don't remember it. They're school teachers or whatever.
01:53:59
Speaker
yeah You have you no idea what I'm talking about, do you? No. But that was just a movie on HBO and it wasn't actually. Oh, that was another trailer that came out. The Hugh Jackman trailer with Kate Hudson.
01:54:14
Speaker
Did you that trailer? No. Song Sung Blue. No idea what that is. Okay. Oh, bad education is the, I was just stalling for time.
01:54:24
Speaker
Bad education is the HBO. Sorry, I wasn't really helping. We're on man. There's no dead air. There's no dead air I was doing a bad job carrying on the conversation. Well, you're you're you're like, you're struggling out there. You're struggling. You know what's crazy about these headphones now? I've gotten used to the headphones and it's how there's a buzzing in my ear.
01:54:45
Speaker
There's like a buzzing in this ear while I talk. It's like, okay. Over time, it got worse and worse and worse, and now it's buzzing more and more. It's like they don't intend you to use the buzz the talkback feature for this long.
01:54:58
Speaker
We've been doing for almost two hours, so that could be why. All right. All right. Did you go last or did I? Yeah, I did. You did. Okay. Elizabeth Banks. Oh, right. That was a great call out. so the second So she was calling it out as like a feminist kind of movement. Like she's like, oh look at this. It's amazing.
01:55:14
Speaker
Five of the six. Did she look weird when she announced it? Did she look like she was like taking back at all? Oh. Yeah, like i don't think I don't think she was like, well, you know, i like I think there was like this level of like, oh my goodness.
01:55:28
Speaker
I feel like based on what you described it as though, it isn't a surprise that it did win Best Directing just based on the one-er aspect because that's lot to pull together, certainly. yeah It's just a lot of moving parts, so that makes sense.
01:55:39
Speaker
yeah Okay, cool. ah My next pick is – what do I got here? Oh, so Severance's wins – Severance was thought to arguably win a lot more, I think. People thought this based on like reading articles afterwards.
01:55:52
Speaker
People think that it was a little bit of an upset, but it did win two awards. One for Best Supporting Actor for Trammell. I'm kidding. Tramiel Tillman, um, who is amazing, obviously. He's so good in Severance season two, but also season one. Uh, he's really great. And then the, the other person who won was for best actress, also incredible Brit Lauer.
01:56:14
Speaker
Um, ah for her work as hell you are. And she's so good. And she's so good and in such subtle ways, as you pointed out in our review, when we talked about Severance season two, and you talked about how like there's, there's these weird kind of severances, but again, people who have their mind split when they go to work, they're one person when they go home, they're another person, their memories are split.
01:56:35
Speaker
And so she plays two characters. and And so there's, there's a lot of like the differences between the subtle differences between her two characters that really shown through this season in particular, ah which is great.
01:56:46
Speaker
And so, yeah, well-deserved. But I also want to point out, and this is my favorite thing about Britt Lauer winning, other than her being amazing in the show, is that she had on her speech that she had in her hand. Did you see this?
01:56:59
Speaker
You see this? On the back of the speech, it had written on It said, let me out on the back. Oh, that's cool. It written. It said, let me out. It's the only thing that was written on the back of it.
01:57:10
Speaker
And people were caught the picture of it because they zoomed in to her saying it. I was like, is that is that fake? I thought. But then I went to the, I think that one of the Emmy's like Instagram pages or something. And I zoomed in. I'm like, it does say that. She's so great.
01:57:24
Speaker
That's so awesome. That's cool. I didn't even know. I didn't even pick up on that. It was like an innie-outie moment. And it's kind of funny because there's like a speech moment in the show as well. And so I thought that was like on so an onstage moment with Heliar. Sorry, with her character. And so I thought that was – Really cool.
01:57:39
Speaker
And so that that's kind of a call out, but it's it's kind of crazy that Severance didn't win more in some way. And it makes me want to watch. I'll just segue into the other bit of it. I feel like I kind of feel like I should watch the the show that won best drama, which is The Pit.
01:57:56
Speaker
Yeah. which Yeah. I want to watch that. it's i don't I'm just not into medical shows that much, though. But my fiance saw it and I asked her, do you think it should have won over Severance? She said no. Obviously, that's anecdotal and opinion-based. But it's interesting. I just don't feel like there's any chance that – it is grounded and very realistic. It's on an HBO show, The Pit. And the idea of it is really cool. It it takes place over one day, essentially. It's almost like – It's like 24.
01:58:24
Speaker
Right. It reminded me of 24. I think it doesn't take place for that many – hours. It's, it's less, but it is a lot of hours over like one day and night of, of this crazy, ah bit of hospital business where all these doctors are hustling to get all these, all the shit done.
01:58:41
Speaker
And Noah Wiley won as well for, for best actor in a drama series for that show. And, uh, Catherine Lanasa also won best supporting actor for actress for her, her work in the pit. So obviously it was incredibly well, well regarded.
01:58:57
Speaker
Um, Yeah, I want to watch it. there's ah There's an aspect of like if you watch a show like Grey's Anatomy on network TV and then you watch this show, there's a lot more penises and and naked bodies and a lot more gore.
01:59:10
Speaker
i want to watch it. That's part of it from what I understand. like ah My fiance was taken aback watching the first couple episodes because it's just – It's just shocking right away because she's watched so much Grey's Anatomy and so many medical dramas.
01:59:22
Speaker
um But yeah, I should watch it. I just – I don't know what it is about medical dramas. They just – they don't feel like they – they're not very uplifting. They're just like – these heroes are just kind of like saving people's lives. I'm like, i don't know if I – It's just like the the originality sometimes does it it get me gets me down. But I did say like way back when we talked about The Pit before it started airing, I didn't think the concept is really neat. And it is. I like that 24-hour aspect of you're basically watching as many hours of TV as the actors are doing.
01:59:52
Speaker
are moving through the scenes. And there's an aspect of it being so fast paced that you can actually do that in the, in like a hospital industry type situation in a hospital environment where things are, are so hectic and chaotic on some nights that that's just how it feels like you can keep it entertaining for, it for a full hour of TV without it really breaking the court, like the, was to say choreography, the timeline, the yeah chronological timeline.
02:00:19
Speaker
Sorry. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah. Anyway, your pick. What's up? You good? You answering emails again? no I just keep on getting ring notifications.
02:00:30
Speaker
Oh, my friend well you have a ring doorbell. That's cool. Yeah. What are they for? Connects to my fridge.
02:00:38
Speaker
What? Connects to my fridge. I don't know what that means. You put your ring doorbell in your fridge? You're worried about somebody going and stealing it? I have a screen on my fridge. I got one of them fancy fridges with the screen.
02:00:50
Speaker
It also connects to your fridge. Okay. Yeah. That's why I got it. That's why you got it. Yeah. so It was on sale for like Prime Day a while back. And that's why I got it.
02:01:02
Speaker
It said connects your fridge is like the number one headline. is It's like the number one line item in the description. Yeah. Connects to your fridge. and it's yeah then in then and Then in parentheses, it said Adrian Pinter. We're talking to you specifically. like I was like, wow.
02:01:17
Speaker
That's incredible. I'm Adrian Pinter. Who's showing up on your ring camera here? I think my fiance just got home. Okay. So is ah it's not ah not a bad situation. I have a camera in front of my door. It's not ring, but it it triggers for stupid things all the time. It thinks my front step is a package.
02:01:33
Speaker
It's very annoying. I also get a lot of animals triggering it. It's just where I am in Guelph. don't know if you have that a lot. but A lot of squirrels, skunks, cats. is a cat. There's like a tailless cat that comes by. is Every once in a while.
02:01:47
Speaker
No barracudas. Isn't that barracuda a fish? a fish Could be. Pretty sure. Depends on where you are. It's not a flying fish. It's also a song.

02:02:40
Speaker
Teenage Wasteland. You don't know that song? No. Are you jossing me right now? It's not ringing a bell. I think you're just doing a really bad rendition. Well, yeah, that I can guarantee. oh I forgot to say this to you. You didn't talk about Stranger Things. How far are you in Stranger Things?
02:02:58
Speaker
ah Last episode of season three. Oh, really good. Yeah, you really like it. So is it is a big improvement over season two? Because I still feel like season two is the weakest. Okay. Yeah, by far. I was going to say. I love season three, man. It's fun. you know Yeah, season three is great. Yeah.
02:03:13
Speaker
um Why didn't you bring it up? Just because you talked about it the last couple episodes. Yeah, I talked about it the last couple times. yeah Yeah, yeah. but I was going to say, have you ever listened to Joe Keery's music? Because his music is pretty great.
02:03:24
Speaker
Yeah. It's pretty great. He had like the the that super popular song that was about Chicago or something. Yeah, that's right. But in general, a lot of his songs are are great.
02:03:35
Speaker
Yeah, he has a good voice in the show. He'll randomly sing in the show, like little parts. And he's like, oh he's he's got tone. Okay, cool. But I didn't like know for the longest time that he he was an artist. I just listened to his music separately and I just never looked at his face in like any of the – like if I scroll down in Apple Music, I never saw who was actually singing it.
02:03:56
Speaker
Yeah. Anyway, said it's D. Joe, right? Yeah, D. Joe, yeah. Joe Keery, yeah. Call it Joe. It's band. Yeah, the Joe Keery, I know.
02:04:07
Speaker
Oh, okay. Why you adding Kiri to the end? Okay. All right, whatever. um But yeah. Okay, cool. It's your turn, isn't it? Yeah, it is my turn.
02:04:19
Speaker
um I wanted to give a big shout out to Kristen Malati for winning best lead actress in a limited series and anthology. I thought that was awesome. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For the Penguin. She's so Brad Pitt came on stage and said, there's a lot of, you know, there's just, I'm so happy about how many male nominees there were in this category. That's exactly what happened. And then Kristen Malati won it.
02:04:40
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. There was five male nominations for the best actress category. Yeah. for a limited series yeah and she was the only woman in it and she won it was crazy and it was great yeah no she was so good man she's so good in the penguin it's yeah really great she's amazing well the dress a little bit wacky i don't understand dresses at these events like there was like it it it was like there's a thing ah had i don't know it looks weird i don't understand there was a thing yeah Is it a piece of fabric sticking out forward? Yeah. I didn't, always saw her speech. It was close up on her. that she said No, she, it was like, it was cool to see. And she was like very emotional, thankful. i think she's amazing in the penguin.
02:05:18
Speaker
Um, yeah it was awesome, dude. She's, she's fantastic. Um, and very well deserved. Yeah. Yeah. True debt. True debt. Cool. What else do got here?
02:05:29
Speaker
How many things do I have left? Not too many. Oh, I got got a big one. a Late show with Stephen Colbert wins best talk show. That's crazy. Yeah. That's crazy. Why would it why would it win that?
02:05:41
Speaker
Is it good actually? ah yeah I guess so. I thought it was losing a bunch of money and that nobody watched him. $40 million a year apparently. And that nobody cares about him. Strange. You know what was really good about that though?
02:05:53
Speaker
I thought that Colbert's speech was really good. It was. agree. It was an element of like he seemed to have rehearsed it and he did a great job. Yeah. it just was It was quick and he got his point across really well and I was really impressed with it.
02:06:05
Speaker
Yeah, and it was honestly very – like it's interesting. Obviously, we're not American, but he was very patriotic. He still like said like I love my country and like what yeah what it is. So was Kimmel, by the way. I just want to say like those two guys are in a similar boat and Kimmel is incredibly patriotic. Every 4th of July, the guy's got like a picture of himself with a giant american flag American flag like get up.
02:06:29
Speaker
um he Yeah, it's interesting. but Yeah, it's cool. it's cool. um awesome yeah and my my final one that i wanted to point out for best writing of a drama series yes gilroy baby for andor fuck yeah dude here too that that we are what is it we are the rebellion is it the episode name i forget the name of the episode something about that i had it written down but i don't know where i wrote it um no his that episode is called who are you right
02:07:02
Speaker
Oh, maybe it was for that. That is that episode though. Yeah, sorry. yeah That is that episode. that By the way, that moment is a particularly amazing moment. Because yeah it's so – that's like we talk about The Last of Us and how The Last of Us is all about perspective. That particular moment is like – wow. Wow.
02:07:22
Speaker
It's crazy. That's an amazing moment in that, that it's like, he he has no idea who you are. It's so crazy. I love that line. It's, it reminds me and not in the same way, but like in the first season, the line, I can't swim.
02:07:38
Speaker
And it just like gives you so much perspective and you're like, wow, dude. Wow. Yeah, man. yeah but god In this case though, that those like there's this element of like that's going to set up for the two seasons.
02:07:51
Speaker
And then you're like, oh my God. and But you're right about the swimming thing because the swimming thing is set up for like a three episode arc or something and it's less crazy too. But there's like, oh, it's just, there's an element of that too, like in everyday life where people are always kind of, they're kind of,
02:08:06
Speaker
stuck in their own mind and they think, you know, like, you know, what, what, what, ah what does somebody else think? Or, or you know, yeah there's a lot of that with, with human connection in general, people wanting to belong and that they are ah constantly even in very social jobs as well. Like people think like, well, what if they didn't like me or what if they didn't like, they didn't think about you at all, potentially there's an element of that too. But in this case, it's even crazier because it's just like this obsession. It's like,
02:08:30
Speaker
Yeah, crazy. Very, very good episode. So well written. The whole show is so well written. It's so great that it won a major award though ah ah in the primetime Emmys just in general ah because this is it's pretty big. The thing what i have about that written down though is that it's not just about the writing and it's great that it won a primetime Emmy emmy but it did also win a lot of the creative awards. It won Best Sound Editing, Best Production Design, Best Visual Effects, Best costume Costumes and this picture at Best Picture Editing for a drama.
02:08:57
Speaker
all All for the drama categories. like That's... That's really great. I know that people don't get to see those awards because the Creative Emmies aren't really broadcasted, but it is really cool because that is my show of the year, I think, still.
02:09:09
Speaker
um Oh, yeah. I really like the bear. one my favorite shows is ever, dude. i think i It is my life goal to make as many people watch Andor. That's my goal life. It's possible.
02:09:20
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, it's cool. It's an eight thing to... like It was a family affair with for for Tony Gilroy because it's Dan Gilroy. He's his brother. He wrote the show. And then the editor he had his brother's an editor. he didn't win the editing award, though. was a different editor for that one. But I just thought that was interesting. that like they Yeah, it's really cool.
02:09:39
Speaker
But yeah, well-deserved. That episode's crazy. Yeah. Wait, is that the episode that won? No, that isn't the episode that won. I thought it was the We Are the Rebellion one. Oh, you're right. We Are the Rebellion one.
02:09:53
Speaker
Yeah, I just didn't have it in me to confirm that. You are right. We are the Rebellion, which is... Yeah, I think... You're 100% correct. We are the Rebellion one. And the reason why I know that is because they didn't get nominated for any Best Acting awards.
02:10:09
Speaker
And it was a call out that... um Who plays Mon Mothma? you remember her name? No. She's amazing in Andor. She's so good. And she just didn't...
02:10:22
Speaker
get nominated. And I think that's the shame because that, that I think, that I think it's, it's a shame even more so because the writing one, but she elevated that performance. She elevated the the words off the page.
02:10:34
Speaker
So it seems like a shame that, um, where's her name here? Genevieve O'Reilly. Yeah. Yeah. yeah You're 100% correct. Sorry.
02:10:47
Speaker
What did I think? I know that they won, I think, for – or they got nominated for Who Are You as well. I think it was directing. That was for best directing in a drama series, I thought. Yeah. Sorry. Pretty true. Yeah. I thought you had gotten the name wrong and there was no title called We Are the Rebellion, but it it it all clicked into place. My memory slowly, subconsciously came into place. I apologize. Yeah.
02:11:06
Speaker
Well, one thing to point out, actually, I forgot to mention this while I was talking about adolescence. um Faye Marseille, who plays, um what's his face in, and what's her face in, Vel Sartha, like Mon Mothma's cousin in Angkor.
02:11:22
Speaker
She's in adolescence. Cool. She's in the first two episodes. Cool. Right. Yeah. Did you go, you didn't pick adolescence as a thing. So I guess we'll do that one next, I suppose.
02:11:33
Speaker
Adolescence won six Emmys, which you mentioned already. But the interesting thing is that for best supporting actor, Owen Cooper won, and he's the youngest actor ever to win in that particular category.
02:11:44
Speaker
He's so good. His speech was really great. That's another speech that was a standout, like really well done. It's like, does he get nervous at all? Like good for him. That was amazing.
02:11:55
Speaker
I thought that was really great. Fantastic. There was ah there was a clip before the Emmys. i don't know if you saw this. oh Owen Cooper loves Jake Gyllenhaal. Oh, no. You can find this clip. There's like a short clip of Owen Cooper. Basically, he just keeps saying 15 talk shows like I love. I think Netflix posted it somewhere.
02:12:12
Speaker
He's like, I love Jake Gyllenhaal. Jake Gyllenhaal is my idol. I think he's great. He's like my my act my acting idol. He's so great. yeah Like multiple talk shows. He just keeps saying that. And then Netflix brought Jake Gyllenhaal out to to see like surprise Owen Cooper just before the Emmys. it might have been hours before.
02:12:28
Speaker
And he's just like starstruck. It's pretty cool. It's worth watching. Although just spoiled the whole thing. yeah But anyway, it's probably worth watching. ah Yeah, I got one more, I think. Oh, I guess I really like Slow Horses and Slow Horses. The Slow Horses director won. was Adam Randall.
02:12:44
Speaker
I think that was deserved because Slow Horses is awesome. That's best drama in this case. yeah um That actually beat out Andor, I guess. Sorry, Andor. I don't know. i think I probably would have given it to Andor.
02:12:56
Speaker
I would have. I would have given every award to Andor ever. Right, but you you haven't seen this episode of s Slow Horses. I don't care. I don't need to. you don't need to. yeah That's true. Hey, don't even have to watch all the movies at the Oscars and you can still vote. Why the fuck would I need to watch all the shows here? all Right.
02:13:13
Speaker
Right. ah Did I have any others? I think that was it. I think that was it. Yep. Cool, man. Oh, yeah. That was the Emmys. The Emmys 2025. I'm glad you watched them because that's cool. Do you think it was an overall successful show? Was it entertaining? Yeah. A lot of people thought it was a little bit of a drag. They thought Nate Bergazzi's timing was a little bit weird. I watched the first clip of him doing the – I thought the the skit was pretty funny.
02:13:37
Speaker
I thought it was kind of funny. I feel like people were kind of hard on him. so I would say that he he was really shaky in his monologue. Did you find that? Yeah. i think he He almost seemed nervous, which was yeah interesting.
02:13:49
Speaker
um But yeah I thought it was a ah totally enjoyable show, and I think he did great. Good. That's great. Oh, that's nice. Yeah, it's cool. Yeah, that was the only thing is that the monologue. He just seemed a bit – I thought the same thing. He just seemed nervous. And I think it's because, as he said during the speech, during the monologue, he's an outsider for Hollywood. He's he's incredibly successful.
02:14:07
Speaker
But people don't really know him in Hollywood at all. He's barely on anything. he's He's just not around. And yet he was the top grossing comedian last year in terms of shows. um which is pretty cool good for him um but yeah anyway but uh yes i think it is time now adrian i'm just gonna run to the bathroom oh tick tick sorry i've just been drinking a lot of water because i feel so dehydrated and as a result flushing the sickness yeah i'm trying to i'll be back see you later
02:14:46
Speaker
love you.
02:14:49
Speaker
Can shake? Oh, I love you too, buddy. too Hopefully. He is returning, slowly. He wouldn't have heard that, though because he didn't have his headphones on. Okay. Will he ever hear this? That's the question. Does he listen to this podcast?
02:15:01
Speaker
He wasn't saying I love you to me. What's up? you was saying it to someone else. you What are you saying? I was just narrating. Anyway, it is time now, Adrian. To move on to a segment of our show that I like to call Look to the Future. A portion of our podcast where each of us present at least three of our picks for the TV series or movies that look most interesting to us that are releasing between the dates of September 23rd, 2025 and October 6th, 2025. Adrian, as is customary, you get to go first. What is your pick?
02:15:34
Speaker
My pick, Simon, is... Yes? Okay, sorry, I had it here. I got to open up this thingy. It is yeah Marvel Zombies that I'm not going to watch.
02:15:46
Speaker
Sorry. I did that to you. I did that to you. You must have been excited enough about it because you put it on this list, right? I was curious about it because it's R-rated. looks kind of fun. I was cool. Maybe I'll it. I was going to watch yeah I'm not going to watch it now. i don't really care too much about it, though. I'm not missing anything. That's coming out September 24th.
02:16:03
Speaker
And it looks like to be – I thought this was like its own series, but it looks like a continuation – of that what if episode. Am I wrong? From the trailer? Oh, yeah. That's what it looked like. I thought it was its own thing, but it seems to be a continuation.
02:16:20
Speaker
I'm typical Marvel fashion. You need to do some homework before you watch the show. Maybe. Yeah. Not sure. But see ultimately I don't really care anymore. So see ya. see yeah Yeah, let's see. I'm curious to see if there's any kind of real substantial boycott.
02:16:35
Speaker
Would they feel it? there's a lot There's a lot of talk of boycotting, especially even Damon Lindelof. Did you see that? Damon Lindelof came out and said that he's boycotting Disney. He won't work with Disney until Jimmy's reinstated. Because again, friend to all. like Kimmel just knows everyone, it seems like.
02:16:50
Speaker
um But they did they do know each other. Their families know each other. Because Damon Lindelof, it's just because they're both on ABC for Lost. They were both yeah at the time. And so Kimmel was always around for for some of the lost, well, I guess interviews and stuff like that. but Yeah. Anyway.
02:17:09
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. ah My pick, Adrian, is the Paul Thomas Anderson movie with Leonardo DiCaprio, One Battle After Another.
Miscellaneous Discussions and Humorous Anecdotes
02:17:20
Speaker
Coming out September, wait. 26th. Oh, I wrote down 16th like a fool. I'm like, that's that was back in time. That's before the dates. Yeah, September 26th, which I really kind of want to see, especially if it's a wide release situation.
02:17:36
Speaker
I feel like this is the movie. Well, I don't know. I don't want to promise anything because we just haven't gone to the movies very much. And it's like, I just been, again, just feeling down, just been up in my home, just playing Alan Wake in Death Stranding.
02:17:48
Speaker
You know, I'm just- like go again Not feeling like going anywhere as much, but I kind of want to see this one. It does look really good. It's got some great actors in it. I really like Benito del Toro as an example. or as an example I'll buy you snacks.
02:18:01
Speaker
We'll go together this week. We'll make it a nice little double date. And by double date, I mean just me and you. Unless you're fiancé and my fiancé also want to come. If they're interested, yeah, we can check. We can see. I'll buy you a snack. Okay.
02:18:13
Speaker
All right. You don't no don't have to buy me a snack. I'm going to buy you snack. ah Maybe I'll buy you a nice little meal. If you want a chicken sandwich, you want a chicken sandwich? It's okay. I'll get you chicken sandwich.
02:18:24
Speaker
Chicken sandwich. they have chicken sandwiches at Cineplex? I don't remember, honestly. I feel like they do. I feel like they do. I just had the other day, had the chicken salad sandwich from Jersey Mike's.
02:18:38
Speaker
pretty good oh dude i had jersey mike's yesterday did i say that already yeah you did oh you got the number nine yeah i've been trying other things there because i just was curious about other things the number nine always still is still wins for me in terms of what i like most but the chicken salad sandwich mike's way was pretty good But this ain't a Jersey Mike's podcast, Adrian.
02:18:56
Speaker
Actually, at the top of this podcast, I completely didn't bring this up. I should have done that. But again, I was so flustered with these headphones and I'm still flustered because it's buzzing in my ear literally louder and louder as I talk. But i I should have mentioned the burrito I ate today. I went to, for the first time in Guelph, I went to Chipotle.
02:19:11
Speaker
Chipotle, yeah. I never tried it. And I didn't try it because the reviews are so bad. b well for some reason. I don't know why they're so bad on Google reviews only, but on, on skip, they're like really high. So i was like, I don't, I guess I'll try it. So I went there and picked up a burrito and then like, I went there and pick it picked up a burrito. And then I took a bite into it and I was like, this is really good. I can go, I see myself going to Chipotle, but then I noticed like the burrito was like kind of in a weird way. Like it looked like it was like wrapped really funkily. And I was like, huh, this is stuffed. And I feel like they didn't leave a lot of room here for this to last the entire burrito eating sesh here.
02:19:46
Speaker
And sure enough, the burrito basically exploded on me. It was like the worst burrito I've ever eaten in that regard. It like fell over over my couch. Structurally, it was horrible.
02:19:58
Speaker
It was bad. it ah It was bad. Wow. It exploded everywhere. Damn, do these these are bad. but It's weird, though, because the burrito was tasty. This was really good. I mean, it is Saturday. so And when I was in there, it was really busy in the store as well. like It was just busy.
02:20:12
Speaker
You should look at the Burger King Guelph reviews. Yeah. Damning. Damning reviews. They're so bad. I was reading them one day just for a bit, and I was yeah i was giggling to myself. there's There's some awful reviews, dude. I haven't been to that Burger King ever. I went there as a kid.
02:20:31
Speaker
That was the last time saw Where is it It's on... um Silver Creek. Oh, the only burger. Oh, I have been there. Actually, I was there once. Um, I think.
02:20:43
Speaker
Is he there or just in the area? It's funny. I was looking for a costume for your, one of your birthday parties in the Valley Village. I think it's like a Valley Village in that same parking lot or close by. Or like there is one of those.
02:20:54
Speaker
Yeah, it's close. It's just down the road. Yeah. So then I, yeah, I i don't know if i we ended up going to Burger King or not, but yeah, it's interesting because the only Burger King I've tried in Guelph, there was one where the Wendy's is now.
02:21:07
Speaker
That was a Burger King before. And then it was like an American chain. it was like Jack in the Box or something. Carl's Jr. Carl's Jr., right? Yeah. And then it was gone in like five seconds. That did not last at all. I know. I had one burger there. And i was like, this is actually pretty good. And then it was closing closed for the next week. I was like, wait, what?
02:21:24
Speaker
What happened? Wendy's, though, I must say, when that Wendy's opened, the Wendy's, like, that was the best Wendy's ever. And even now, it's pretty good. Like, they had good management i pretty much up until this point. You Wendy's? funny how...
02:21:35
Speaker
The quality kind of is different between these you know these franchised restaurants. So you'd say you like Wendy's? Yeah, it's pretty good. You don't like it? Wendy's nuts hit you in the face, dude.
02:21:46
Speaker
I got you. Oh, freaking. Faux ran into that one. Get smacked in the face with nuts so easily there. Okay, well, yeah Adrian, it's your pick. So what do you think? My next pick is The Strangers Chapter 2, which is a sequel to The Strangers Chapter 1 that came out last year.
Movie and Series Excitement
02:22:05
Speaker
wit i think last year, which was a genuinely awful movie. Really bad movie. I'm curious if this one's going to be any better. i don't have high hopes. It's the same writer, same director.
02:22:16
Speaker
um
02:22:20
Speaker
But you can only go up. you know you can all You can only go up, to be totally blunt. I'm going to watch this. Okay. Regardless. Because why not?
02:22:31
Speaker
You know? Okay. Sure. Why not? Why not take a crazy chance? Why not do a crazy dance? Exactly. So the next pick I'm going to pick.
02:22:44
Speaker
You might do a lot. So why Very good. Wow. It's incredible. Not better than my Bill O'Reilly. But it's fine.
02:22:55
Speaker
um Anyway, Slow Horses Season 5 airs on September 24th, Adrian. Very exciting. I don't know if I'm going to watch it just yet because there' there are very short seasons and I kind of like to really spread them out and savor them because they're like a popcorn TV show. It's just delightful to watch. like so The writing is so good.
02:23:14
Speaker
The acting is so good. The character development, delicious. Very good. But yeah, that's my choice. Very good. Your pick? Nice.
02:23:25
Speaker
Why do I feel like you mentioned this movie last episode? Because maybe you did. But The Lost Bus, starring Matthew McConaughey ka but matthew mcconaey and America Ferreira, that's releasing on October 3rd on Apple TV+. plus Why didn't I see The Lost Bus in my... I didn't actually pick it. So thank goodness you picked it. Yeah. yeah you're Yeah, thank goodness.
02:23:52
Speaker
Thank Adrian. Thank Adrian you picked that. me. I did. Thank me. Thank me more. Okay, cool. going watch The Last Bus? you excited for No. Okay.
02:24:06
Speaker
Okay. I don't know. Probably not. Speaking of October 3rd, Adrian, The Smashing Machine, that Dwayne The Rock Johnson starring Benny Safdie directed The Smashing Machine comes out October 3rd.
02:24:18
Speaker
Do you want to watch that? um Yeah, out of curiosity. Yeah, it's getting such rave reviews. Everyone's like, wow, The Rock, he's transformative doing crazy stuff.
02:24:29
Speaker
The Rock being like, I was sick of being typecast. I want to do something new, even though my my my own company is essentially the one releasing the movies that I star in, that I specifically choose to star in because it's my company.
02:24:43
Speaker
But yeah i was i was pigeonholed into that corner because my company did that to myself. I want to do something different. I pigeonholed myself into this. Yeah, yeah. It's fine. I piss in water bottles. I don't think he does that.
02:24:56
Speaker
It was in an article we talked about. His performance is great in this. So as you mentioned, it is probably worth seeing. I am interested to see it because it's cool. i like the rock and his in his movies. I do like him. He's cool, but he is the rock in every movie as we've discussed.
02:25:10
Speaker
But he is very natural and that's that's that's that's still acting. And so that's cool. I don't think he's a natural, dude. He probably did so many steroids to get that body type. ah so you know That's not what I mean.
02:25:21
Speaker
Come on now. Come on now.
02:25:26
Speaker
Uh, you think so? I don't think so. That guy freaking wore, he will woke up at like three in the morning or some shit to like work out. I just feel like it's not possible to get that jacked without drugs. Is it? I don't know.
02:25:36
Speaker
i don't know. I'm sure like some drugs as in like natural drugs. I don't think he's like taking steroids. Like crack. I don't think crack would help you in this particular endeavor.
02:25:48
Speaker
I imagine. I feel like I'm being delirious. Maybe. Yeah. Maybe. Yeah. No, I'm down to watch this. I'm interested. I'm intrigued.
02:26:00
Speaker
I'm intrigued. Okay. You know what? I also watch one battle after another or the smashing machine. I mean, they come out in two, like a week apart. We could in theory do both because haven't been going. we got to keep our goal realistic.
02:26:15
Speaker
Smart goals, Adrian. Smart goal smart goals. yeah Smart. S for smart. M for mart. A for art. R for R. Please just say thing I just said.
02:26:32
Speaker
Realistic. I just said keep our goals realistic. It's realistic. It's realistic.
02:26:39
Speaker
R for rock. T for Tron Aries. No. Stop You're butchering it. I thought you would at least get the realistic part and then say T for something else.
02:26:50
Speaker
I said realistic, you know, like smart goals. That that was the reference. Anyway, go on. Tron Aries is not coming out in the next two weeks. I don't care about Tron Aries. Yeah? Okay. It's based off that Kingdom Hearts level.
02:27:03
Speaker
Yeah, that's right. Yeah. But yeah, um yeah this ah this already came out. that The Long Walk. Yeah. Amazing reviews. I want to watch that movie. You know what, dude?
02:27:15
Speaker
Yeah, there's too many things to see. I do want to see The Long Walk. I also really like Mark Hamill. like I do. Post-Star Wars, he's really interesting. like easy He stars in a lot of interesting things and he's an interesting actor.
02:27:29
Speaker
um Yeah. it has It has Philip Seymour hos Hoffman's son in that movie. Yeah. It has the guy from... Is it the guy?
02:27:40
Speaker
Alien Romulus? Is it the same guy? and Maybe not. The Long Walk, isn't it? Isn't that the alien Romulus guy? Cooper Hoffman's interesting. Cause we just talked about Paul Thomas Anderson. Like he's in licorice pizza, right?
02:27:53
Speaker
David Johnson. It is the guy from alien Romulus. Okay. It is the guy from alien Romulus. David. Have you seen Cooper Hoffman in anything else other than licorice pizza? think that's it. That's all I've seen him in.
02:28:06
Speaker
Yeah. That's the only thing I saw him in as well. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cool, Cool, man. Cool, man. All right. Sorry. Wait, did you see it?
02:28:17

02:29:14

It's crazy because it ends up in the hands of an eccentric cat lady named Vera, right? So Gabby, like she sets off on an adventure through the real world to get gabby to get the Gabby cats back together before it's too late.
02:29:28

02:29:56
Speaker
I would watch that over. so You're very interested. you you Would you think you'd prefer that? I think so. Or a long walk? Yeah, probably. I think it's better written, probably. better written than the Stephen King based movie, a long walk.
02:30:11
Speaker
Yeah. Good to know. Yeah. Better ideas. You think better ideas. I assume much better ideas than the long walk. Good to know. Yeah. All right. This is one that you could have said instead of Gabby's dollhouse, but ah again, you really like it. So I don't want to, don't judge you too hard.
02:30:29
Speaker
The movie, good boy, Adrian, a horror movie where you're in the perspective of if a dog comes out October third Is that actually October 3rd? and thought that was like a limited release.
02:30:40
Speaker
I mean, it might be limited, but it's still October 3rd. Some things don't ever even ride release at all. So we kind of have to mention the limited releases. Yeah? Yeah. might be right. I mean, it just says October 3rd, 2025 USA when I look at it briefly. oa It's a short and it's only an hour and 13 minute movie.
02:30:57
Speaker
Very bite-sized. Nice. Quick want to watch this. I feel like. It's another one. It's crazy, though. like You know what's coming out the day before October 3rd? No.
02:31:09
Speaker
October 2nd. but no That's true. The date of October 2nd. That's correct. yeah But what's coming out there's something coming out on that day. You know what it is? I don't know. no Should I? a little something's Yeah, probably.
02:31:21
Speaker
and't It's up to you. i mean Maybe you're not that excited. You tell me. A little something something called the Ghost of Yote. It's a busy week for me. I have that. Yeah, you already bought it.
02:31:34
Speaker
You pre-ordered it too, but you didn't even remember what was coming on October 2nd. No. You know what? Actually, i have something that's coming out on Saturday, October 4th. UFC 320, baby. UFC 320. There you go See, we should go see the Smashing Machine.
02:31:50
Speaker
Yeah. The UFC guy. UFC man. His brother Nick. Nick. Damn it. oh Well, I pronounced the K very well. you did Yeah, you did. You did it you did a good job. are you like yeah You shouldn't trap me in that. We're too white. Very white. Look at me. Look how pasty I am. Look at me.
02:32:11
Speaker
yeah I can't say that shit. I mean you could. unacceptable. You should. Again, that's the advantage of of of pronouncing you know pronounlancing things properly. You got to enunciate, Adrian. Dude, it's okay, man. You could literally call a little kid at a park of that and you'll you'll get donations up the wazoo.
02:32:30
Speaker
Yeah, freaking ridiculous. Yeah. How stupid is that? Unbelievable. Yeah. Anyways. Okay. So I got another one here since you – I guess you just gave me one too. Yeah. I got one.
02:32:40
Speaker
This is an interesting one because it's the Peaky Blinders creator, Stephen Knight. i don't know if you ever watched Peaky Blinders. I always intended to and I i will eventually because i i really like Cillian Murphy. Yeah.
02:32:51
Speaker
also like Tom Hardy a lot. So I feel like it's a good gaggle of actors in it. But House of Guinness is a is like ah think ah almost like ah like a biopic TV series on Netflix.
02:33:06
Speaker
It's coming out September 25th. It's kind of interesting. I won't watch that. I'd rather watch Peaky Blinders. But people like Peaky Blinders a lot. And it's the same creator, Stephen Knight. So that's why I'm mentioning it.
02:33:17
Speaker
But yeah, that's cool. And then I got one more, unless you've got another one to follow up. No. Okay. ah The Lowdown, which I mentioned to you, and I think I said it was a movie, which was a mistake, obviously. um It's from reseration Reservation Dogs creator Sterling Harjo.
02:33:34
Speaker
never And Heath and Hawks in it. He plays like this like plucky reporter. He's like just like really enthusiastic and passionate about his job. He's going around. causing trouble, getting punched in the face, I think, based on the trailer. So the low the lowdown looks pretty cool, and it's a TV series on FX, a network that I probably won't watch because it's also Disney.
02:33:55
Speaker
so I probably won't watch that show, that that's for sure. But that's the trailer does look good. um But yeah, that's it. That's all I've got here. Oh, no, that's not all I've got. There's another big one. October 3rd, limited release, Anemone.
02:34:09
Speaker
It's the Ronan Day-Lewis film with Daniel Day-Lewis and Sean Bean in it. It's Daniel Day-Lewis' return to acting. So that looks really interesting.
02:34:22
Speaker
I don't know if I'll watch that, um to be honest. There's really a lot of movies, like arts artsy movies coming around the same time, so I don't think I will, but that's an October 10th release. Wait, that's what it says here, but I saw it was October 3rd before.
02:34:37
Speaker
Maybe it's a limited release the week before on October 3rd, but it's October 10th in Canada, according to this. But yeah, anyway, that's it. That is that's all.
02:34:49
Speaker
Indeed. That is all of our... Picks for the next two weeks, Adrian. Do you have anything to say before we wrap this little guy up? this This good old podcast.
02:35:00
Speaker
No, I just don't feel good. Unfortunately, I wish I felt better. I wish I felt better. i I enjoy being with you though. This this brightened my mood, my little sick bitch ass mood.
02:35:13
Speaker
And it made it still sick, but not bitch ass. It made it bitching. Hmm. That's cool. I've been in a mentally really bad mood for like two weeks. It's just a dark time in the US. And because of honestly, the Charlie Kirk assassination, but then post that, like the yeah the elimination of free speech, potentially, it's it's really scary. And so that that that, again, it's really, really bad um situation going down.
02:35:44
Speaker
So ah no yeah. Yeah. It's a scary time, man. But yeah, I would agree. I think this cheered me up a little bit too. So it was a pleasure talking to you. Dude, I'm fucking stoked. Yeah. You seem so stoked.
