BeyBlade
Dude, I'll be honest. I don't believe Steve.
00:04:31
silkdong
I watched the Raid Redemption dubbed.
00:04:32
BeyBlade
I don't believe Steve that he didn't watch it dubbed.
00:04:33
billfrankenstein
oh
00:04:36
Steve-O
No, you know what?
00:04:36
silkdong
Did you watch Oldboy? Did you watch Oldboy dubbed?
00:04:37

00:04:41
silkdong
Chris...
00:04:42
billfrankenstein
but Yeah, no.
00:04:42

00:04:50
billfrankenstein
No, no, no.
00:04:51
BeyBlade
Could you imagine if they made an American version so I don't have to read English dubs?
00:04:55
billfrankenstein
I think I was like, with Squid Game, I was so lazy that I, that was the first option, and I didn't
00:04:57
silkdong
That's Matt Reeves, right?
00:05:03
billfrankenstein
I didn't change it.
00:05:04
Steve-O
ah he You know what? They did do that, and I did have to go back and change it.
00:05:06
billfrankenstein
That's...
00:05:07
silkdong
Well, that's...
00:05:09
Steve-O
But you know what? If it's the default, and maybe I'm wrong.
00:05:10
billfrankenstein
I'm calling you Puthan.
00:05:12
silkdong
That's what got to say to it.
00:05:13
billfrankenstein
I thought it was the default.
00:05:13
silkdong
Put that.
00:05:14
BeyBlade
Yeah, dude, I'll be honest. I just went with whatever it started with. I didn't like, I didn't smug pause it go into the settings and switch it.

00:05:40
BeyBlade
Wow. Okay. Relax.
00:05:42
billfrankenstein

00:05:55
billfrankenstein

00:05:57
BeyBlade
My ball guy.
00:05:59
billfrankenstein
Guys, I watched Frank Stein.
00:05:59
BeyBlade
Slopper knocker.
00:06:01
billfrankenstein
watched Frank N. Stein.
00:06:03
BeyBlade
So, I did too.
00:06:04
Steve-O
Whoa!
00:06:04
silkdong
Woo! Both of them?
00:06:05
BeyBlade
I did too.
00:06:05
silkdong
You watch both of them?
00:06:05
billfrankenstein
I watch both, dude.
00:06:07
Steve-O
Wait, wait, wait. When when you when you're saying both you bro both, you're talking about Frankenstein.
00:06:07
billfrankenstein
I
00:06:11
Steve-O
You're talking about ah and bride of Frankenstein.
00:06:12
billfrankenstein
watch Frank and I watch Stein.
00:06:14
BeyBlade
Now, the bra the bride's not out yet.
00:06:15
billfrankenstein
Nope.
00:06:17
Steve-O
Oh, so you just talking about, we talking about Frank.
00:06:19
billfrankenstein
Frank and Stein.
00:06:21
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:06:23
billfrankenstein
So I... ah
00:06:24
BeyBlade
Steve's trying to catch up on the... Yeah.
00:06:26
billfrankenstein
i can't believe he understand this.
00:06:28
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:06:28
billfrankenstein
um The... the the
00:06:30
Steve-O
Are they lawyers?
00:06:31
billfrankenstein
Well, i the reason I say it like that is because this film, not really a spoiler, but just a way of the story is told. It's told in two different perspectives.
00:06:42
BeyBlade
yeah
00:06:43
billfrankenstein
It's really neat.
00:06:45
billfrankenstein
That I've never seen. I'm not going to tell you. I want you to go into the movie.
00:06:45
Steve-O
Wait, from whose perspectives?
00:06:49
Steve-O
I'm going to make a guess.
00:06:50
BeyBlade
well Whose possible perspective could get this movie be made from?
00:06:50
Steve-O
I'm going to make a guess. I'm going to make a guess.
00:06:51
billfrankenstein
Ha ha ha ha.
00:06:54
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:06:55
Steve-O
I'm going to say it's the ah doctor and then the other perspective, the blind lady.
00:07:00
BeyBlade
Mm-hmm. Okay, that's a big...
00:07:02
billfrankenstein
or
00:07:03
Steve-O
The blind lady.
00:07:04
billfrankenstein
You got it, man. You got it, man.
00:07:06
Steve-O
fuck.
00:07:09
billfrankenstein
It's Igor, actually. but um Yes, perspectives.
00:07:10
Steve-O
of
00:07:14
BeyBlade
Yeah, you know what? He's a Yeah, he's
00:07:16
billfrankenstein
And I really dug that part of it. It's also...
00:07:19
BeyBlade
You know what? i You know what? It made me think of that. I said, is that the new thing in movies now to like do like like many like chapters of sorts. Right.
00:07:28
billfrankenstein
Kind of. I think it it offers a good breaking point too, because people have very short attention spans.
00:07:32
BeyBlade
Yeah. Because. Yeah.
00:07:34
Steve-O
How weapons of it?
00:07:34
BeyBlade
And I mean, I would argue i would have really argue it's not even perspectives. It's just chapters because it's not like you see the same events through one versus the other.
00:07:39
billfrankenstein
Yeah. but That's kind of true. I mean, there is a few moments in Frankenstein where you see it, one event from both sides.
00:07:50
billfrankenstein
But um yeah, most of the time it's just what I did when you were not around and what but you did before I was around.
00:07:56
BeyBlade
Yeah. What we did after.
00:08:00
billfrankenstein
um It's very, it's it's it's it does change a few things, which I like, um specifically about the end. um And it um really is a good deal of growth and in both characters, two most important characters of the ah the film.
00:08:19
billfrankenstein
And um yeah, they're both really flawed too. And that's cool. You know, like it's it's it's very romantic and it's full with a lot of passion.
00:08:31
billfrankenstein
But it's also, um yeah, it's also basically horror story. Like, really? And that's what it should be, right?
00:08:42
billfrankenstein
Like, more than anything.
00:08:43
silkdong
I heard it was sad too.
00:08:45
billfrankenstein
It is sad. it's It's a lot of things.
00:08:46
BeyBlade
Yeah, it's sad movie.
00:08:46
billfrankenstein
It works in in a lot of different ways.
00:08:48
Steve-O
It's two and a
00:08:49
billfrankenstein
And it's also, I think, one of his best-looking films ever made.
00:08:53
silkdong
Yeah, we saw what happened to Frankenstein in Creature Commandos.
00:08:53
billfrankenstein
Like, hands down, yeah. this This might be his his most overindulgent, too, which I'm all about, like especially for this.
00:09:02
silkdong
Yeah.
00:09:03
billfrankenstein
like I just feel like this is chocolate and peanut butter.
00:09:05
BeyBlade
This was like a two and a half hour. I saw this late last night, which I was a little like...
00:09:07
billfrankenstein
Yeah.
00:09:11
BeyBlade
who maybe i maybe I was biting off more than I could chew. cause i was like ah struck It's about that, yeah.
00:09:14
Steve-O
half. it's two and a half
00:09:17
billfrankenstein
It's a long one. It's definitely a long one.
00:09:18
BeyBlade
And I was struggling in that last 40 minutes.
00:09:20
silkdong
Well, it's not like Irishman, though. wait It's not like that.
00:09:24
Steve-O
There's no intermission?
00:09:24
silkdong
Which was like five hours.
00:09:25
BeyBlade
I mean, i mean is yeah, it's not irish if Irishman had a Frankenstein, I think it would have been a better movie.
00:09:32
billfrankenstein
Oh, totally. There's no doubt.
00:09:33
silkdong
I like Irishman.
00:09:33
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:09:34
Steve-O
i mean, it did. I mean, it it it literally had Robert De Niro, Frankenstein.
00:09:36
billfrankenstein
and Robert De Niro. yeah That's true.
00:09:39
BeyBlade
oh
00:09:41
billfrankenstein
um it it It does play pretty close to the book in a lot of other ways, too.
00:09:41
BeyBlade
He also moved like Frankenstein in that movie too.
00:09:43
Steve-O
He did when he was a 20-year-old man.
00:09:46
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:09:50
billfrankenstein
And a lot of the same locales. And they look fucking gorgeous.
00:09:55
silkdong
But it's got that Guillermo del Toro like flavor in it, I'm i'm sure.
00:09:59
billfrankenstein
Dude, it's dripping with style.
00:10:00
BeyBlade
Oh yeah.
00:10:01
Steve-O
Dude, we love that.
00:10:01
BeyBlade
I also, I read some, some, some take on it today and I thought it was kind of fascinating. They said, they were like, has anyone noticed how much like a video game this movie looks?
00:10:15
BeyBlade
Like, in the sense of the framing and everything, they're like, it's pan, like the shots are pan, like you could see the characters just walking around in a space.
00:10:15
billfrankenstein
Yeah.
00:10:18
billfrankenstein
You're kind of right.
00:10:23
BeyBlade
And like, they were like the scene where, and some of this, I'm like, I think you just are finally learning.
00:10:27
billfrankenstein
ah Stretching a little. Yeah.
00:10:29
BeyBlade
because he's like, well, the scene where he goes into the ah the confession booth, it's like, so the way it's angled, it's like a video game cutscene. And I'm like, I think you're just realizing that video game cutscenes look like movies.
00:10:41
billfrankenstein
Yeah. Yeah. Like it's the, it's the the chicken before the egg type thing.
00:10:43
BeyBlade
like Like some of it I was like, yeah, you're not like you're making a good point, but some of it's just like, you know, what's a little weird about this movie. Um, now this is a, I'd have to do more research, but I've complained about this in the past.
00:10:57
BeyBlade
Sometimes it's weird to see an actor who is in insane shape. And it's to a point where it's like, clearly he's just in shape for himself and not for the role of the movie. Yeah.
00:11:10
billfrankenstein
ah
00:11:11
BeyBlade
Like, victim so dude, Victor Frankenstein is ripped.
00:11:11
billfrankenstein
you know.
00:11:14
billfrankenstein
Oh, Victor Frankenstein. I thought were talking about the monster.
00:11:16
BeyBlade
No, no, no, no, That makes sense. You would you would expect that.
00:11:19
billfrankenstein
Yeah, yeah. That looks cool.
00:11:20
BeyBlade
No, um Oscar Isaac is unnecessarily jacked in this movie.
00:11:21
billfrankenstein
That looks neat.
00:11:26
BeyBlade
and it's Kind of like, what movie do you have lined up that requires you to you to be this fit?
00:11:26
billfrankenstein
I...
00:11:32
BeyBlade
Or are you just in a crazy health kick right now? Because his jawline is...
00:11:36
silkdong
No, it's the Ed Gein thing now. It's the Ed Gein thing now.
00:11:38
BeyBlade
Yeah, dude, his jawline...
00:11:39
silkdong
they just Everyone's just got to look like that now,
00:11:39
Steve-O
He's on the game.
00:11:42
billfrankenstein
Well, he books look
00:11:42
Steve-O
He's on that game grind.
00:11:42
BeyBlade
He's probably like a cook glass in this movie, dude. He's like unnecessarily.
00:11:46
billfrankenstein
he looks dehydrated a lot, and I think that's kind of good. Because there is there is one issue I have.
00:11:53
BeyBlade
All that milky drinks.
00:11:53
billfrankenstein
i Somewhat...
00:11:55
BeyBlade
Gross.
00:11:55
billfrankenstein
Yeah, that is gross. um well One nitpick I do have is I feel like he's a little too charismatic for the role of Victor Frankenstein. Like, I think...
00:12:05
BeyBlade
He's not weird enough.
00:12:06
billfrankenstein
Yeah, yeah.
00:12:07
silkdong
Frankenstein.
00:12:07
Steve-O
ah Is he...
00:12:08
billfrankenstein
Like, that's maybe... That's a nitpick, though, I think.
00:12:10
BeyBlade
You know what it kind of comes off like?
00:12:13
Steve-O
What's that?
00:12:13
BeyBlade
Like he's Victor Von Doom.
00:12:15
billfrankenstein
A little bit.
00:12:15
BeyBlade
Like he's got real Von Doom energy.
00:12:15
Steve-O
Dude.
00:12:17
billfrankenstein
A little bit.
00:12:19
Steve-O
If only they didn't make him fucking Moon Knight.
00:12:19
billfrankenstein
He's very...
00:12:19
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:12:22
billfrankenstein
i will I will say this.
00:12:22
BeyBlade
Oh,
00:12:23
billfrankenstein
I think he's a little bit more aloof and and naive than Victor Von Doom is.
00:12:29
BeyBlade
yeah oh yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:12:30
billfrankenstein
and i
00:12:31
BeyBlade
But like that scene where he's in the classroom, right?
00:12:31
billfrankenstein
He's like spoiled.
00:12:34
BeyBlade
Or like he's ah they're trying to kick him out of school.
00:12:34
billfrankenstein
Yeah. That's fucking...
00:12:37
BeyBlade
I'm like, that Doom...
00:12:37
billfrankenstein
it does I've followed his every word. I'm like, yeah, I agree with that guy. Like he's a very, very, very believable.
00:12:42
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:12:45
billfrankenstein
And.
00:12:45
BeyBlade
Yeah. Also, also like, I'm not stupid, right? I know it's like Victor Von Doom is clearly frank like a Frankenstein character trait, like basis.
00:12:50
billfrankenstein
Exactly.
00:12:54
billfrankenstein
um Devin, what did you think of the few jump scares in this?
00:12:59
BeyBlade
Um, I,
00:12:59
billfrankenstein
Because I really love them. I actually kind of love them so much that it was shocking that it saw them in this too.
00:13:09
BeyBlade
He didn't really register with me, to be honest. I was like, okay.
00:13:11
billfrankenstein
Okay. there were Well, it was just wonderful like how grotesque everything is in this film.
00:13:18
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:13:19
billfrankenstein
like I'm a big fan of that.
00:13:19
BeyBlade
I mean, yeah. Like the... um I think the grossest thing was when he was trying to... That one where the body's like totally flopped over and he's like trying to get it to work and it like wakes up for...
00:13:30
billfrankenstein
Curled... You mean like curled up in a ball?
00:13:33
BeyBlade
yeah and it like wakes up and you see his awful face.
00:13:34
billfrankenstein
Yes. Yes. Yes.
00:13:36
BeyBlade
And I'm like, ooh, well.
00:13:36
billfrankenstein
Fucking love that so much.
00:13:39
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:13:40
billfrankenstein
Yeah.
00:13:40
BeyBlade
um I would say, and this is more of an issue that I have with Frankenstein the story. It's like, it's a little bland, I think, by today's standards.
00:13:53
BeyBlade
It's just like, I do a thing, and then I did, then I'm here.
00:13:54
billfrankenstein
I still love it. I still love it
00:13:58
BeyBlade
and Like, yeah, he did change things, but, like, obviously, if you're somewhat familiar with it, the beats are all there, right? And then it's like Frankenstein's like, or, you know, the monster goes, I did a thing, and now we're here. And I'm like, and then it's over. And I'm like, okay.
00:14:14
billfrankenstein
I think
00:14:14
BeyBlade
That was real, like, no no real twists and turns in this one, right? Just kind of.
00:14:18
billfrankenstein
i I do like I think the end is is really and most of the film It's about like compassion and and and like for forgiveness.
00:14:30
billfrankenstein
And I don't, I i rarely saw that in like Frankenstein, any other adaptations. like
00:14:35
BeyBlade
Right, but but it's still like, it's in terms of like event, right? He's like, yes, I'm sorry. he goes, okay, it's okay.
00:14:42
billfrankenstein
Nah, yeah, well, I think that's important.
00:14:43
BeyBlade
and that
00:14:44
billfrankenstein
And I think it was, yeah.
00:14:44
Steve-O
That's a lot of del Toro's jams.
00:14:45
BeyBlade
but but But you know what? yeah My issue really is like, i don't think you get a lot of, i don't think you see that the jump that Victor makes.
00:14:56
BeyBlade
Like Victor goes from, Like cocky to when he's, you know, when Frankenstein's, when the monster's alive to I'm a piece of shit to.
00:15:09
BeyBlade
and all of a sudden he's like, oh yeah, that was crazy that I was like that nutty about it. Like there's no moment really where he has like a self-realization.
00:15:16
billfrankenstein
Oh, I disagree. Oh, I disagree.
00:15:18
BeyBlade
There's a moment that happens, but that's not what I would call self-realization.
00:15:21
billfrankenstein
And it, well, no, i think it's self-realization for an incredibly selfish person.
00:15:28
BeyBlade
I don't know, because you see him at a point...
00:15:28
billfrankenstein
But that to me is 100% like the reason why he changed is because something happened to him. Like that's the only time it registered with him.
00:15:38
BeyBlade
can't... But but ah it's...
00:15:40
billfrankenstein
He's still, even when he changed, he's still not a good person.
00:15:44
BeyBlade
Yeah, but but by the end, like by these be getla beginning slash end, right?
00:15:45
billfrankenstein
get that point.
00:15:50
BeyBlade
There's a moment where he's like, oh my God, please give me to him. I deserve this. And you're like, how did we get there?
00:15:55
billfrankenstein
Well, because of the story that the creature told that he listened to.
00:15:55
BeyBlade
Like, how did we get there?
00:16:00
BeyBlade
No, no, no. This is before that. This is like when they when he wakes up for the first time and he's like, oh my God, he's he's chasing me. Please give him to me.
00:16:08
silkdong
He's like, oh, merde.
00:16:10
BeyBlade
He goes, the hell day.
00:16:11
billfrankenstein
i
00:16:11
Steve-O
that's
00:16:12
billfrankenstein
I don't know.
00:16:12
BeyBlade
And then Frankenstein walks in and...
00:16:12
silkdong
Melding.
00:16:12
billfrankenstein
I, I, I think, I think there was a moment.
00:16:14
silkdong
Melding.
00:16:14
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:16:15
billfrankenstein
I think there was definitively a moment that happened in the middle of the story. i don't want to give away that did change him like physically and mentally.
00:16:21
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:16:22
Steve-O
yeah
00:16:26
Steve-O
This is on Netflix, right?
00:16:27
BeyBlade
that's it Yeah, yeah.
00:16:28
billfrankenstein
Yes.
00:16:28
BeyBlade
I will say, that moment, that's a good effect.
00:16:32
billfrankenstein
It's an incredible effect.
00:16:32
BeyBlade
That's good... That's a... Fuck. Fuck to me.
00:16:35
billfrankenstein
that That movie is to marry.
00:16:35
BeyBlade
well
00:16:35
silkdong
Wait, so MFK it, you guys.
00:16:39
BeyBlade
fuck
00:16:39
silkdong
Whoa, Mary?
00:16:40
Steve-O
Hold on.
00:16:40
BeyBlade
fuck
00:16:40
Steve-O
I want not only an MFK from you both. I want a where would this belong on a Frankenstein tier list of Frankenstein movies or cameos he has made in other things.
00:16:56
billfrankenstein
You made in other things.
00:16:58
Steve-O
Like like Bride of Frankenstein um plan is fine youngl Frankenstein Frankenstein.
00:16:59
BeyBlade
I
00:17:02
silkdong
Young Frankenstein, the goat. Young Frankenstein.
00:17:05
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:17:06
silkdong
Is Young Frankenstein the best Frankenstein movie?
00:17:06
billfrankenstein
I quite like, I quite love young Frankenstein.
00:17:11
BeyBlade
think Frankenstein is kind of great.
00:17:11
Steve-O
i
00:17:11
silkdong
Who doesn't?
00:17:11
billfrankenstein
So admittedly, admittedly.
00:17:12
silkdong
It's a classic.
00:17:12
Steve-O
Young Frankenstein is an S-tier movie.
00:17:15
billfrankenstein
And I, and I think it's actually one of the better foretellings of the actual story too.
00:17:15
silkdong
Yeah, it's an absolute classic.
00:17:21
billfrankenstein
Like it hits a lot of the same beats.
00:17:21
silkdong
That's real.
00:17:22
billfrankenstein
Like Devin said that,
00:17:23
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:17:23
silkdong
Real. That's real, Chris.
00:17:24
billfrankenstein
So i that's my favorite by far.
00:17:28
Steve-O
So that's number one? That would be top tier?
00:17:29
billfrankenstein
Yeah. And then this this is...
00:17:31
BeyBlade
I don't know if it's better than Frank and weenie, you know?
00:17:34
billfrankenstein
ow
00:17:34
silkdong
Oh, is it better than poor things?
00:17:34
Steve-O
How
00:17:36
silkdong
Because that's basically a similar story.
00:17:38
billfrankenstein
Oh.
00:17:39
Steve-O
about Monster Squad Frankenstein?
00:17:39
billfrankenstein
Oh, man.
00:17:40
BeyBlade
Yeah, yeah, like, exactly, right? Steve, this is a tough little, because poor things 100% is,
00:17:45
billfrankenstein
I think straight up straight up Frankenstein adaptation. This is... if not the best up there with the original, like the classic hammer films.
00:17:55
Steve-O
um ah I'm going to give you a controversial take right here.
00:17:56
billfrankenstein
Yeah.
00:17:58
silkdong
Frank and weenie.
00:17:59
Steve-O
I'm not crazy about the original Frankenstein.
00:18:02
billfrankenstein
yeah You don't like it.
00:18:02
BeyBlade
Frankenstein? No, I agree with Steve in the sense of like...
00:18:03
Steve-O
I love the original Bride of Frankenstein, however.
00:18:03
billfrankenstein
I like it
00:18:08
billfrankenstein
Okay. Okay.
00:18:09
BeyBlade
Okay, well, I have some bad news for you, Steve.
00:18:09
billfrankenstein
all right.
00:18:11
Steve-O
not that. i've i I've seen that movie coming out and I am so upset by that.
00:18:12
BeyBlade
Well,
00:18:16
billfrankenstein
Yeah. I don't look good.
00:18:17
BeyBlade
well I'm to also saying like, that you know, there's no bride in this movie, which I was kind of like wondering because there's a moment where you kind of like, are we going down this route?
00:18:22
Steve-O
No.
00:18:27
billfrankenstein
Definitely.
00:18:28
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:18:28
billfrankenstein
Definitely. Probably could still, too, really.
00:18:32
BeyBlade
know what's of fun about this movie without kind of – because I didn't really follow it too much is – oh, my God. I'm blanking on his name. The one actor, the guy who who funds everything, Chris.
00:18:42
silkdong
mel
00:18:43
Steve-O
love Christoph
00:18:45
billfrankenstein
Oh, Christoph Waltz, yeah.
00:18:45
BeyBlade
Christoph Waltz. Yeah. it's Oh, he's in this, and he's fun. He's a – yeah, yeah.
00:18:49
silkdong
Oh, he's in it?
00:18:49
billfrankenstein
Oh, he's wonderful in this, too.
00:18:51
Steve-O
Waltz.
00:18:51
BeyBlade
He's he's that he's really good in it.
00:18:52
silkdong
Okay. Let's do it.
00:18:53
billfrankenstein
He plays a very cool character too.
00:18:53
BeyBlade
um
00:18:55
billfrankenstein
Like I did not see that coming really.
00:18:56
BeyBlade
Yeah. um
00:18:59
billfrankenstein
That was cool.
00:18:59
BeyBlade
was it How do you feel about Igor? No Igor.
00:19:02
billfrankenstein
I'm okay with it.
00:19:03
BeyBlade
We're no Igor, Igor.
00:19:03
billfrankenstein
I'm i'm fine. I like it because it makes it more selfish. It makes it more about Victor, you know, like him doing it all by himself too at the end but during the actual thing.
00:19:07
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:19:14
billfrankenstein
Like it's very much him taking ownership and control of everything. And that's a big part of the movie too. Like he's very childish.
00:19:24
BeyBlade
I mean, I think my favorite Frankenstein allegory is Android 13 from Dragon Ball Z. I'm sorry, Android 16 from Dragon Ball Z.
00:19:29
Steve-O
a
00:19:31
BeyBlade
I think that's probably...
00:19:31
silkdong
You can't even get your androids right. And you're saying that's your favorite.
00:19:33
BeyBlade
no this and There's a lot.
00:19:34
silkdong
I don't like it.
00:19:35
BeyBlade
There's about 16, 17 Androids. um
00:19:38
silkdong
What about Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein?
00:19:39
billfrankenstein
I think Jacob Lordy should get nominated for something.
00:19:43
Steve-O
So very good.
00:19:43
silkdong
Whoa.
00:19:44
BeyBlade
You think?
00:19:44
billfrankenstein
i
00:19:44
silkdong
Euphoria kid?
00:19:45
billfrankenstein
I do. Yeah, I do. 100%. Yeah.
00:19:47
BeyBlade
So this this is...
00:19:47
Steve-O
Now, and Devin, now hold on.
00:19:48
silkdong
Shit.
00:19:49
BeyBlade
Okay.
00:19:49
Steve-O
Is not Android 8, who is blatantly Frankenstein based on this fucking photo I'm looking at?
00:19:49
BeyBlade
Okay.
00:19:49
silkdong
Oh!
00:19:55
BeyBlade
Yeah, but he's not, he just he's just there, you know? ah get i get what you're talking about.
00:20:01
Steve-O
yeah
00:20:01
BeyBlade
But he does it, like sixteen s got the Frankenstein vibes, you know?
00:20:05
Steve-O
this guy's literally got stitches across his head no
00:20:07
BeyBlade
And he...
00:20:07
billfrankenstein
Oh my god, it looks just like him!
00:20:08
BeyBlade
No,
00:20:10
billfrankenstein
What the hell you talking about?
00:20:10
silkdong
Wait, what about what about um Chris? Was Kenneth Branagh's Frankenstein good? The one with Robert De Niro?
00:20:17
billfrankenstein
No. No.
00:20:18
BeyBlade
I think that's like historically terrible, I think.
00:20:19
silkdong
It wasn't.
00:20:19
Steve-O
and oh
00:20:21
billfrankenstein
It's pooped here.
00:20:21
Steve-O
yeah which version no but if you have to pick one
00:20:22
billfrankenstein
If anything, I like the play with Benedict Cumberbatch and the dude from Trainspotting.
00:20:27
silkdong
Oh, I loved that. Yeah, and Johnny Lee Miller.
00:20:30
billfrankenstein
Both!
00:20:30
silkdong
Johnny Lee Miller.
00:20:31
BeyBlade
o
00:20:33
silkdong
i like yeah I like the idea of that you liked him as the monster more.
00:20:33
billfrankenstein
I like Benedict...
00:20:39
billfrankenstein
Yeah. Yes.
00:20:41
silkdong
I like the idea that they had the two answer actors do both roles and to in in in mirror fashion.
00:20:41
billfrankenstein
Very much.
00:20:49
silkdong
I think that's pretty cool.
00:20:50
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:20:51
Steve-O
I kind of wish that was a staple of Frankenstein now. You basically would get two movies.
00:20:55
silkdong
Yeah, I pretty sure I watched that in in the theater.
00:20:57
BeyBlade
Steve, I don't know what you're talking about. That guy doesn't look anything like Frankenstein.
00:20:59
billfrankenstein
This, this one is very, this one is very like physically imposing and also, which it should be. Right. But it's also like weirdly, Lilt and kind of like thin.
00:21:09
BeyBlade
oh
00:21:11
silkdong
Was Mia Goth good in it?
00:21:13
billfrankenstein
Yeah. I really liked me golf in the, in the,
00:21:14
BeyBlade
Yeah, she was really good. I really liked it when she yeah when she kicked that extra in the face.
00:21:16
silkdong
ah she Did she kick anybody on on set?
00:21:19
Steve-O
yeah
00:21:20
BeyBlade
Yeah, that was really
00:21:20
billfrankenstein
yeah
00:21:22
silkdong
Did she crash out on set and fucking punch somebody in the face?
00:21:22
billfrankenstein
I, she had a great little monologue that really summed up, uh, Victor Frankenstein pretty succinctly.
00:21:23
Steve-O
Bitch.
00:21:30
billfrankenstein
And he just was like, whatever.
00:21:32
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:21:32
billfrankenstein
yeah
00:21:33
BeyBlade
He's like, oh, fine.
00:21:34
Steve-O
be
00:21:34
BeyBlade
um
00:21:35
billfrankenstein
whatever
00:21:35
BeyBlade
No. So you said the thing about Jacob Elordi is I don't like I'm not like familiar enough.
00:21:41
silkdong
He's in Euphoria. He got to smash up Sidney Sweeney in Euphoria.
00:21:43
BeyBlade
but No, no. Listen, listen, I'm a jealous man, so I get it.
00:21:45
billfrankenstein
I'm not either, but he's phenomenal on this.
00:21:48
BeyBlade
But um no, it's just because I felt like a lot of it. He had like a weird voice modulation because, you know, he's a fucking monster.
00:21:56
silkdong
Oh, but you didn't have a problem with that when bat when Batman had it in Zack Snyder's Justice League.
00:22:00
BeyBlade
ah No, because he was trying hide his identity.
00:22:04
billfrankenstein
Well, this is, I think, I don't mind that.
00:22:04
silkdong
the
00:22:04
BeyBlade
Thank you.
00:22:06
billfrankenstein
And I think his physicality in the role is like wonderful.
00:22:07
BeyBlade
but
00:22:10
billfrankenstein
Like he really kind of creates this beast, this thing.
00:22:10
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:22:13
billfrankenstein
It's kind of alien to life.
00:22:15
BeyBlade
Yeah, he does some weird shit with his hands. It was sick.
00:22:18
billfrankenstein
I love that.
00:22:18
BeyBlade
It was pretty good.
00:22:18
billfrankenstein
Walking with his hands out too. I really, that was like an interesting take in general.
00:22:22

00:23:41
billfrankenstein
I like sexy ass Frankenstein. I think it works.

00:24:03
BeyBlade
Yeah, this this
Horror Film Comparisons
00:24:04
BeyBlade
isn't like, if you hate del Toro, don't bother, but if you love him, you're going to like this.
00:24:08
Steve-O
was hating Del Toro.
00:24:10
BeyBlade
Exactly. What savage, what savage-minded fool is a hating del Toro? I don't know, but...
00:24:17
Steve-O
Does Darkstalkers Frankenstein use his ass as an attack?
00:24:20
BeyBlade
Yeah, du dude, it like engorges too.
00:24:20
billfrankenstein
It definitely does. Gets big ass.
00:24:23

00:24:28
silkdong
Frank and Cheeks.
00:24:28
BeyBlade
Dude, he he basically invented EX attacks.
00:24:30
billfrankenstein
Creatures got a big ass and your head's all open.
00:24:31
silkdong
Victor Von ger Gerdenheim.
00:24:33
Steve-O
yeah Did you just say Victor Von Goon?
00:24:36
billfrankenstein
Victor Von Goon. Yeah, well.
00:24:38
BeyBlade
He's kind of goony in this.
00:24:39
billfrankenstein
He is. There's a lot of weird phallic and eonic imagery in this that gives me an idea that they casted him for that and it
00:24:40
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:24:42
silkdong
he's Jacob. He's Jacob Elordi. How are they not going to sexualize Frankenstein if he's
00:24:46
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:24:49
BeyBlade
You know what's funny, though, is in the the De Niro Frankenstein, the I saw a clip where he's, the birthing scene, that is straight up goody.
00:24:49
Steve-O
Uh...
00:24:59
BeyBlade
Like, it's just two dudes with no shirt clothes on, rolling around in amniotic fluid.
00:25:04
billfrankenstein
Hell yeah.
00:25:05
BeyBlade
And I'm like, oh, like...

billfrankenstein
I'm a Mary. I love it.
00:25:16
BeyBlade
And I'd say...
00:25:16
Steve-O
I'm grabbing the wheel.
00:25:16
silkdong
Fuck this time.
00:25:17
Steve-O
I'm grabbing the real wheel real quick. I'm going to take a detour.
00:25:18
billfrankenstein
Oh shit. Shit.
00:25:20
Steve-O
i'm pulling I'm pulling the wheel over to the right. This is a quick detour. I'm bouncing. I'm bouncing. I'm bouncing. I just saw weapons.
00:25:28
silkdong
Oh yeah. It's
00:25:30
Steve-O
Excellent film.
00:25:30
billfrankenstein
What do you think?
00:25:30
Steve-O
Holy shit.
00:25:31
billfrankenstein
Excellent film.
00:25:32
Steve-O
I would think it's the Pulp Fiction of Horror.
00:25:32
silkdong
a movie.
00:25:34
Steve-O
My one complaint, and I thought of it while I was watching it, and then I watched the Red Letter Media thing, and they they seconded it, and I was like, okay, i wasn't crazy. the The dark scenes are a little too dark.
00:25:44
billfrankenstein
dark scenes are a little too dark.
00:25:45
silkdong
ah It's called...
00:25:46
billfrankenstein
There's a few movies I can throw that at right now.
00:25:49
silkdong
It's called Tone, Steve.
00:25:49
BeyBlade
yeah
00:25:51
silkdong
can't understand it................
00:25:51
billfrankenstein
who
00:25:52
Steve-O
i ah I understand it. I understand it, but there are definitely scenes where i was like, I think I might need to rewind the film. No, no, no. Just watch the film, Steve. that You can't rewind a movie if you're watching it for the first time.
00:26:04
Steve-O
um
00:26:04
BeyBlade
I've done that. I'm not too proud to admit.
00:26:05
billfrankenstein
modern Modern cinema is too dark.
00:26:05
Steve-O
But...
00:26:08
Steve-O
It's a little dark. It's a little dark, but...
00:26:09
billfrankenstein
Too dark. I can't say that about Frankenstein. Even the darker scenes is really well lit.
00:26:13
BeyBlade
Yeah, Frankenstein's pretty attractive.
00:26:15
Steve-O
Guillermo. Guillermo's on the point. He's got that cinematographer eye.
00:26:17
silkdong
good jazz mo
00:26:20
billfrankenstein
Dude was using natural light too. looked good.
00:26:23
BeyBlade
Girl me a Leo.
00:26:24
Steve-O
Zach zach ah Krieger, though...
00:26:27
billfrankenstein
Gotta work. Gotta work.
00:26:28
Steve-O
I mean, definitely hands down his best movie to date.
00:26:31
billfrankenstein
I disagree.
00:26:32
silkdong
So what what do you think, Steve? Like, are you thinking?
00:26:33
Steve-O
Disagree? Wait, wait, wait. I might be, I've not seen one of the films probably.
00:26:36
billfrankenstein
You haven't seen Barbarian?
00:26:37
Steve-O
so No, I've seen Barbarian.
00:26:37
silkdong
no, but I didn't see it either. I i haven't seen Barbaro.
00:26:39
billfrankenstein
think Barbarian's better.
00:26:40
Steve-O
You like Barbarian more? Okay, I liked i think I like Weapons more.
00:26:41
billfrankenstein
i do.
00:26:41
BeyBlade
Yeah. No, I like weapons more. Yeah, yeah.
00:26:44
billfrankenstein
That's fine. I get it. Trust me. i just love...
00:26:45
BeyBlade
Yeah, Chris knows.
00:26:46
Steve-O
but But honestly, they're both bangers.
00:26:46
silkdong
i'll be the i'll be the judge I'll be the judge when I watch it this week.
00:26:46
BeyBlade
Chris knows.
00:26:48
billfrankenstein
I love...
00:26:49
Steve-O
Judge, jury, and executioner.
Resident Evil Adaptation Discussion
00:26:51
silkdong
I'll decide which one is actually better. but um
00:26:54
billfrankenstein
Barbarian was funnier.
00:26:55
silkdong
Steve, as ah another resident Resident Evil player, how how do you feel about Mr.
00:26:55
billfrankenstein
private
00:27:00
Steve-O
That's true.
00:27:01
BeyBlade
but
00:27:03
silkdong
Craigers doing the movie now? Do you think it's...
00:27:04
billfrankenstein
Did you guys hear the plot details?
00:27:04
Steve-O
i
00:27:07
silkdong
and ah No, drop him.
00:27:07
BeyBlade
No, I just saw i could saw some set photos.
00:27:08
Steve-O
No.
00:27:09
billfrankenstein
All right. So apparently it is based around a courier that is in Raccoon City for the night, and he is basically riding through everything.
00:27:10
Steve-O
I saw the set photos, yeah.
00:27:18
silkdong
He's Matty Roth.
00:27:20
billfrankenstein
That is happening. So what I believe it's going to be is you're going to see a lot of the Resident Evil moments through the eyes of another character.
00:27:29
BeyBlade
I'm a fucking dork.
00:27:30
billfrankenstein
A dork.
00:27:31
silkdong
So he's the gamer.
00:27:32
BeyBlade
that Sorry, so I don't know why said it so meanly.
00:27:32
silkdong
He's us.
00:27:35
Steve-O
I've got to deliver a paper to William Birkin.
00:27:38
billfrankenstein
That's
00:27:38
silkdong
So, so I don't know. Yeah, I don't know if I, I mean, i understand.
00:27:42
billfrankenstein
what it sounds like.
00:27:45
silkdong
I understand, I guess, but it's like, how many times are they going to do shit like this? You know, like, like the resident resident evil, resident evil's concept is, is not like the, why people love it so much.
00:27:51
BeyBlade
Well, yeah welcome to my complaints, Mr.
00:27:51
Steve-O
is it? Right.
00:27:58
silkdong
They don't love it because it's a zombie outbreak in a city.
00:27:59
billfrankenstein
A zombie movie.
00:28:00
BeyBlade
You like it because the characters.
00:28:00
Steve-O
Right.
00:28:02
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:28:02
billfrankenstein
here here's Here's the deal.
00:28:02
silkdong
You like because of the characters.
00:28:04
billfrankenstein
I do think, though, there is some merit to not trying to adapt those characters anymore. Like, just stopping from doing it.
00:28:13
BeyBlade
I mean, the they only really tried, like...
00:28:13
billfrankenstein
Like...
00:28:14
silkdong
Yeah, but like, what's stopping this from being another Alice thing? You know?
00:28:17
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:28:17
silkdong
Where it's just like...
00:28:17
billfrankenstein
Well, that is true. That is a good point. Like, it could take a tangent, but...
00:28:21
silkdong
Another Dural. It's gonna be another Dural or Merle or whatever the fuck his name was in Walking Dead.
00:28:25
Steve-O
if anybody could If anybody could give those characters life, it's Zach Krieger. Because even the points in that movie in weapons that weren't horror, I was like fully invested in.
00:28:36
Steve-O
like The fucking like the cop and the drug at addict.
00:28:39
silkdong
A cop. Yeah, I love the cop.
00:28:39
Steve-O
Oh my god.
00:28:40
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:28:40
billfrankenstein
Yeah, that's incredible.
00:28:40
silkdong
Yeah, I love that shit.
00:28:40
Steve-O
Dude, dude now I legitimately forgot that I was watching like an actor playing a drug addict for a moment. like When he's like fucking tweaking and he's like opening all the fucking car doors as he's on the phone.
00:28:46
billfrankenstein
That guy is so good.
00:28:50
billfrankenstein
Yeah.
00:28:51
Steve-O
I'm like, wow, this is...
00:28:51
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:28:53
billfrankenstein
I'm just calling to see if you got that 200 bucks that you owed me that you're going to paid me back.
00:28:56
Steve-O
I got a job though. I got a job. I just need to, yeah I just need it so I could like, I was like holy shit. This is the most real drug addict I've ever seen.
00:29:03
BeyBlade
No, dude.
00:29:04
billfrankenstein
Yeah, he was wonderful.
00:29:06
BeyBlade
um Yeah, I mean, John, it's funny you say that because a few, don't know, a while back now, i kind of complained. I said, how many at-bats does Resident Evil fucking need?
00:29:17
silkdong
Yeah.
00:29:17
BeyBlade
You know, it's like multiple TV show attempts, ah multiple movies, multiple movie series.
00:29:17
silkdong
Yeah,
00:29:24
BeyBlade
And it's like, they're all pretty poor. Like nothing's approaching past acceptable.
00:29:27
billfrankenstein
Yeah.
00:29:28
Steve-O
a
00:29:31
BeyBlade
and So I really kind of, I hope this is good. But if this isn't,
00:29:34
billfrankenstein
ah yeah you
Predator Film Review
00:29:35
billfrankenstein
you're you're You're pensive. You're your reluctant to really give them.
00:29:35
BeyBlade
you got
00:29:38
BeyBlade
Yeah, like the bar is low, but like also...
00:29:40
Steve-O
Maybe that's why Zachary is taking it.
00:29:41
silkdong
and like what yeah but like what like, my whole thing is like,
00:29:42
Steve-O
Cause he's like I'm guaranteed to be able to make the best resident evil movie.
00:29:48
silkdong
like if it's just a brand new character Raccoon City, like, like where's the identity of of the game going to come from? You know, is it just going to, right?
00:29:56
Steve-O
Where are the residents?
00:29:58
silkdong
Like, are read are they, is he just going to come across ah ah Claire and Leon or something? Like, is that, is that?
00:30:05
Steve-O
Is this going to be like kind of like an Ethan situation where it's like we are like kind of like.
00:30:08
BeyBlade
Thank you.
00:30:10
billfrankenstein
a bumpkiss coming in and kind of doing his thing while the real shit is happening.
00:30:13
silkdong
Because I kind of get it
00:30:15
Steve-O
Hmm.
00:30:16
silkdong
I kind of get it too, where like, you can't really, you can't really make a Resident Evil movie with all the game characters and it not be like just action coded, you know, it's just to be an action movie at that point, you know?
00:30:28
Steve-O
Hmm.
00:30:30
billfrankenstein
Yeah, exactly.
00:30:30
silkdong
So I, I don't, I kind of understand where he's coming from, I guess, but it's like, just make something original then, you know?
00:30:30
billfrankenstein
It,
00:30:37
Steve-O
I was thinking this is this is my own take on a Resident Evil movie.
00:30:38
silkdong
I don't know.
00:30:41
Steve-O
I would do a found footage body camera of all the stars going into the Arklay mansion. And make it kind of cut around and like you make that the movie kind of like Cloverfield.
00:30:54
Steve-O
asked
00:30:54
BeyBlade
But what happens when Barry Burton comes across a black zombie and and all of a sudden he turns his body cam off?
00:31:00
billfrankenstein
You know, Steve, you bring up that there's actually a found footage movie that's very Resident Evil coded already.
00:31:00
BeyBlade
what happens What happens at that point?
00:31:01
Steve-O
who
00:31:07
Steve-O
yeah
00:31:08
billfrankenstein
It's like Project Bigfoot or something, but basically it starts out with these two assholes that go out into the woods with these girls, and they're like, we're going to make a Bigfoot documentary. But then um there's this like creature that's stalking them that's clearly not Bigfoot.
00:31:23
billfrankenstein
And it's like a licker. It looks kind of like a licker.
00:31:26
Steve-O
oh
00:31:27
billfrankenstein
And then they find that they're on like a government testing ground for weird biological weapons. And there's like a Chris Renfield character who comes in and tries to save them.
00:31:39
silkdong
Tries to punch his way out of it.
00:31:40
Steve-O
That's kind of funny.
00:31:40
BeyBlade
you
00:31:40
billfrankenstein
And then he gets killed immediately, which is hilarious.
00:31:42
Steve-O
No.
00:31:42
silkdong
i yes any And he has hot dog fingers. And he has hot dog fingers too.
00:31:45
billfrankenstein
Yes. I can't remember the actual name of it, but I watched it when I did the Galani and chill about found footage movies. And it was like shockingly Resident Evil coded.
00:31:56
billfrankenstein
didn't expect it. I think it might be maybe.
00:31:58
Steve-O
Is it called the Bigfoot Project? 2017?
00:32:02
Steve-O
twenty seventeen
00:32:03
billfrankenstein
Yeah, that sounds about right. It's found footage. I think I really, i would have to look at my notes.
00:32:13
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:32:13
Steve-O
That's fair.
00:32:14
BeyBlade
Well, um you know, Chris and I saw movie together.
00:32:14
billfrankenstein
I'd have look at my notes.
00:32:20
Steve-O
What movie?
00:32:20
billfrankenstein
We sure did. We sure did, Devin.
00:32:22
BeyBlade
We saw Predator. I don't know if it's Predator at The Badlands or its' Predator Badlands.
00:32:27
billfrankenstein
No, it's just Badlands. Just Badlands.
00:32:29
BeyBlade
ah But we saw that. ah So it me, Chris Galanti, and another friend of show, friend real life, Chris Borden. We all saw it.
00:32:40
BeyBlade
And we watched it. And we walked out and there was one dissenting opinion. And that person drove away in his car, angrily shaking his head.
00:32:52
BeyBlade
And I imagine just stewed in it for a few days. So we saw the movie. I loved it. Chris Borden loved it. Chris Galani. I don't.
00:33:03
silkdong
hated it
00:33:03
BeyBlade
Is hate too strong of a word?
00:33:04
billfrankenstein
think i might I think I might be leaning into hate.
00:33:07
BeyBlade
oh
00:33:07
billfrankenstein
But when I was there, i was definitely like I was a mediocre product that I just sat through.
00:33:07
silkdong
wow
00:33:13
BeyBlade
Yeah, but but it's gotten worse.
00:33:16
billfrankenstein
It has. And i I think it's because like I started really focusing on like some some dialogue that I was thinking about. And like...
00:33:25
BeyBlade
a dialogue in the Predator movie. Yeah.
00:33:27
billfrankenstein
That was fucking terrible. And um just like really cliche...
00:33:29
BeyBlade
Mm-mm.
00:33:33
BeyBlade
Mm-mm.
00:33:34
billfrankenstein
plot devices and just being like basically a, like I said, a mediocre episode of the Mandalorian.
00:33:36
BeyBlade
Mm-mm.
00:33:42
BeyBlade
Oh my God.
00:33:42
billfrankenstein
Like that's what, that's what my love was reduced to.
00:33:42
BeyBlade
You're insane, dude.
00:33:43
silkdong
Hell yeah.
00:33:46
BeyBlade
You're, you're disgusting.
00:33:46
billfrankenstein
um Which is, it's, it's sad because it's like overtly cute in every way it tries to, to exist.
00:33:54
BeyBlade
There was a, you know, it's funny though. There was a moment, there was a moment where I was like, we lost Chris. There's a specific moment where I was like, yeah.
00:34:01
billfrankenstein
Oh yeah. What was that?
00:34:03
BeyBlade
ah The campfire scene.
00:34:05
billfrankenstein
Yes. you Devin, you know me.
00:34:05
BeyBlade
and Yeah, yeah.
00:34:07
billfrankenstein
You know me really well.
00:34:08
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:34:09
BeyBlade
like Because I was just enjoying it and going, I love this.
00:34:09
Steve-O
Ha, ha, ha.
00:34:12
billfrankenstein
Wow.
00:34:14
BeyBlade
And then I just kind of, it's not like i looked over, but I just saw you just stone face. And I was like, I think i went to board. I was like, I don't think Chris. I think Chris is upset. Yeah.
00:34:26
BeyBlade
Yeah, 100%.
00:34:27
billfrankenstein
That's funny.
00:34:27
BeyBlade
and And it's so funny because that is ah an amazing, it's a wonderful sequence.
00:34:28
billfrankenstein
That's funny.
00:34:32
BeyBlade
It's wonderful sequence. It's fun, it's cute, it's heartfelt.
00:34:33
billfrankenstein
Hated it. fucking cute in a Predator movie?
00:34:36
BeyBlade
um Yeah, yeah.
00:34:37
billfrankenstein
What the fuck is wrong with you?
00:34:39
BeyBlade
Yes, Chris, because we could do the same thing we've been doing for 30 or 40 years at this point.
00:34:44
billfrankenstein
it doesn't mean it's a good idea!
00:34:46
BeyBlade
Yes, it is. It's a great idea.
00:34:47
billfrankenstein
no No! It's totally retarded! It doesn't make any sense!
00:34:52
BeyBlade
so So Chris is very much, I think you're you're very traditional in the in the sense when it comes to the Predator.
00:35:00
billfrankenstein
I guess so.
00:35:02
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:35:02
billfrankenstein
I didn't know I was until I saw this.
00:35:03
BeyBlade
yeah No, I think it's very clear that you're like, how dare Listen, i I'm open to new things. I'm open to new ideas. I don't think the franchise can be an endless series of retreads.
00:35:18
billfrankenstein
not, dude, that's not at all what I'm saying. I'm saying that whatever change they made didn't work. Like it's, that's fine. You make experiments. Sometimes experiments fail. Like this is an experiment that failed in every way.
00:35:28
BeyBlade
think But the thing is is, it only failed to you because audiences love it, critics, big fans, and it did really well at the box office.
00:35:38
billfrankenstein
Yeah. Well, you know what? Trump won an election twice.
00:35:40
BeyBlade
I'm just saying, Chris, you're on an island right now.
00:35:42
billfrankenstein
all right. So Trump election twice.
00:35:45
BeyBlade
You're on an island.
00:35:47
billfrankenstein
Alright?
00:35:48
BeyBlade
You can't come back.
00:35:48
billfrankenstein
And he's a predator in real life.
00:35:50
BeyBlade
I mean, that's true. that true Well, you know what? That's why they say Yautja. Right?
00:35:55
billfrankenstein
Yeah, they have to say don they get away from it.
00:35:55
BeyBlade
We're moving away from problematic language. Right? Yeah,
00:36:00
billfrankenstein
Yeah. Yeah, man. No, I, it's, I, it's one of those things.
00:36:03
BeyBlade
no, you really...
00:36:04
billfrankenstein
Like there's, there's a movie like this every year for me.
00:36:04
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:36:07
billfrankenstein
It's just the way it is. Like I, I can't, there's always a movie I really bounce off of that a lot of people love.
00:36:08
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:36:14
billfrankenstein
And you know, i get the, I get it. It's, it's, it's not my cup of tea, I guess really what it comes down to it.
00:36:19
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:36:21
billfrankenstein
Like i I, don't even know if I would say I respect it, but I get why people like it.
00:36:27
BeyBlade
I just, because Borden and I were talking for far too long outside the theater, just about like, what we thought of it, what we liked about it, blah, blah, blah. You know, like I think of what really set you off, and this might have been a little preplanned, although I still stand by this, is when I told you in a fit of anger, this was better than begonia.
00:36:41
silkdong
you
00:36:45
billfrankenstein
Okay.
00:36:49
billfrankenstein
It wasn't better than Begonia. Because
00:36:51
BeyBlade
And you were ready to punch in the face.
00:36:54
billfrankenstein
was a stupid thing to say.
00:36:56
BeyBlade
It's true. i still stand. I like this more than Begonia.
00:36:57
billfrankenstein
no ah yeah It's not better than Begonia. You can like it all you want, brah!
00:37:01
BeyBlade
I think it's objectively better than Begonia.
00:37:04
billfrankenstein
You can like it all you want, brah!
00:37:06
BeyBlade
It's objectively a superior one.
00:37:07
billfrankenstein
No! It isn't. It's a a very Marvel-esque stab at a franchise...
00:37:12
BeyBlade
It moves. We go in some good directions.
00:37:16
billfrankenstein
that That is just going to keep fucking milking this dumb character.
00:37:16
BeyBlade
um
00:37:21
billfrankenstein
Predator character. for For as long as they can.
00:37:23
BeyBlade
You don't like deck? You're not a deckhead?
00:37:25
billfrankenstein
i hate deck. I am not a deck head. And also to talk about.
00:37:29
BeyBlade
the
00:37:29
billfrankenstein
The first fight scene being far too fucking dark.
00:37:32
BeyBlade
You know what?
00:37:33
billfrankenstein
Like we've been talking about.
00:37:34
BeyBlade
Listen, listen. I agree, but I would actually, i mean, we won't know for a while. I would actually put that on the projection. I think it was the pre project. I was like, there's something, because I agreed.
00:37:43
billfrankenstein
Maybe. Because we were having some issues.
00:37:45
BeyBlade
I agreed with you. I was like, man, this is really dark. But I was like, I don't know if it's supposed to be this dark. or
00:37:51
billfrankenstein
i And also, the last fight scene being a CGI mess is also ah very much hurt me and in a big way.
00:37:58
BeyBlade
like Like the end end or like the...
00:38:00
billfrankenstein
Like, the end fight scene between the the the autoloader and whatever.
00:38:04
BeyBlade
Yeah, yeah.
00:38:04
billfrankenstein
Like, it looked bad. That looked fucking bad.
00:38:06
BeyBlade
Well, listen, as I told you, as as it happened, I said, that's a mech, so we know where I'm going.
00:38:12
billfrankenstein
I dwell in that shitty looking scene, man.
00:38:13
BeyBlade
We know where I'm leaning.
00:38:16
billfrankenstein
Like, come on.
00:38:16
BeyBlade
no no, I'm just saying, it had a mech in it, so I have to give it up some unofficial points.
00:38:20
billfrankenstein
Your biases do prove nothing.
00:38:22
Steve-O
Goddamn the mech stuff. Always the mech stuff.
00:38:24
BeyBlade
i I literally saw and went, eh, eh, eh?
00:38:27
billfrankenstein
There's a distinct possibility that you all will watch this and like that. I'm completely fine with that.
00:38:31
BeyBlade
I think that they're strong about, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think
00:38:33
billfrankenstein
But I can't. It's just yeah something. of The tone was completely off for me in every way. Like it just didn't work.
00:38:40
silkdong
Bye.
00:38:41
BeyBlade
um ah Listen, I'm going to say this, and this is not a knock in any way, shape, or form. um This felt, and I think this is on purpose because I heard the director talking about it in an interview.
00:38:56
BeyBlade
This felt like this was a video game movie in the sense of like the way it was structured, the way it was like kind of laid out.
00:39:02
billfrankenstein
Yeah, that's true.
00:39:05
BeyBlade
And then to me, i said... Man, where is my Predator open world game? Because this is literally the game. This is the game. like If I had to make a game, I'd be like, just make the movie makes this the game.
00:39:16
billfrankenstein
See, you're right. it To be honest, it wouldn't be as rushed as this film was either.
00:39:23
BeyBlade
It wouldn't have those moments where you just got to do the thing. But you're like, no, i want I want to get all the um want to get all the helmets.
00:39:29
Steve-O
i gotta I gotta make sure I get all the skulls.
00:39:29
billfrankenstein
Yeah, that...
00:39:30
BeyBlade
um I want to find all the helmet unlockables.
00:39:33
billfrankenstein
um get all the weapons. I've got to upgrade all my weapons.
00:39:33
BeyBlade
because Because I was like, oh my god, like like i let me get this skin. Let me get this skin where I'm i'm just natural pred. I'm natural pred.
00:39:41
billfrankenstein
You've got to upgrade your weapons.
00:39:43
BeyBlade
Yeah, you upgrade. You find new weapons. You get the thing where you get ah you get a different skin. So you're like, oh, instead of a plasm blaster, it's snake. It's venom. I get it because looks cool.
00:39:52
billfrankenstein
I think the reason I i but honestly was eyes upset about this is because I actually thought the concept was was good. i just don't think it was executed properly.
00:40:01
BeyBlade
So is it...
00:40:05
billfrankenstein
Like conceptually, a lot of things work.
00:40:05
BeyBlade
is it like you just you don't like You don't like that Predators like talks?
00:40:08
billfrankenstein
I don't like the tone.
00:40:11
BeyBlade
like You don't like that they talk a lot?
00:40:11
billfrankenstein
I really didn't, it didn't do much. And I don't, didn't relate to him. And I also really didn't like the, the very end because it kind of went against everything he was trying to get away from throughout the whole movie.
00:40:23
billfrankenstein
Like it's just, it actually would have made me happier if he just stayed there and like lived and been happy with his new family.
00:40:29
BeyBlade
yeah Nah, dude. You need you need do you need that hat to happen.
00:40:32
billfrankenstein
I don't. Like, I think that's regressive.
00:40:34
BeyBlade
You did.
00:40:35
billfrankenstein
And I also think it it's like spits in the face to the point of the movie.
00:40:41
billfrankenstein
That's me.
00:40:42
BeyBlade
Yeah, yeah, that's you. Listen, you want, so,
00:40:47
BeyBlade
man, well, Chris, what would you give it?
00:40:49
Steve-O
Merd.
00:40:50
BeyBlade
What would you give?
00:40:51
silkdong
Damn,
00:40:51
BeyBlade
would you Is this a kill for you?
00:40:51
billfrankenstein
This is the kill for me.
00:40:54
BeyBlade
I think I got offset, I legitimately think I have to offset it with a marriage.
00:40:54
Steve-O
Ooh.
00:40:54
silkdong
a kill.
00:40:58
Steve-O
Wow!
00:40:58
BeyBlade
Because, you know, I watched a real kill. I watched a real fucking true blue from the ground up kill this weekend. And that was not this, right?
00:41:09
billfrankenstein
Okay.
00:41:09
BeyBlade
Because I watched, because love her to death, my fiance said, guys, you might already know.
00:41:10
billfrankenstein
All
00:41:17
BeyBlade
But she was like, oh, my God, you haven't seen Nacho Libre? And I was like, no.
00:41:22
billfrankenstein
right. Okay.
00:41:23
BeyBlade
She's like, you've got to watch it.
00:41:25
silkdong
Yes!
00:41:26
BeyBlade
It's so funny. And I was like, I literally count it.
00:41:29
silkdong
How many times did you laugh, Devin? Did you count?
00:41:33
Steve-O
Oh, I feel so bad because I bet you Jenny thought that was going to be a banger for you.
00:41:34
BeyBlade
Zero laughs.
00:41:34
silkdong
Was it... Devin, was it...
00:41:35
BeyBlade
One, one half.
00:41:37
silkdong
ah
00:41:38
BeyBlade
No, I kind of i was like, she fell asleep. And I was like, Jenny, I raged finish that movie. Like, I wanted to walk away, but i was like, no, I wanted to tell her smirked.
00:41:44
billfrankenstein
yeah
00:41:45
Steve-O
You finished the fight, though.
00:41:48
BeyBlade
I did a one half smirk the entire, that movie, like that movie was bad back then. Right.
00:41:54
billfrankenstein
Now that was the director of Napoleon Dynamite, correct?
00:41:54
BeyBlade
Talk about, it doesn't,
00:41:57
Steve-O
Yeah, that was the second film, the senior film, or sophomore.
00:41:57
BeyBlade
Yeah, yeah. And that was, that is the that is all of that guy's worst tendency. He's like, let's just put in something completely nonsensical and it's just weird. It's not funny. We're not really going for funny. It's just weird.
00:42:08
billfrankenstein
Do you like Napoleon Dynamite?
00:42:11
BeyBlade
I liked it when it came out. It's one of those movies where I'm like, I don't know if this holds up for me.
00:42:16
silkdong
evan was it better than Who Be Halloween?
00:42:19
BeyBlade
i didn't see Hubie Halloween.
00:42:21
silkdong
What?
00:42:21
billfrankenstein
Oh, what the hell are you doing right now?
00:42:23
silkdong
What are you doing, dude?
00:42:23
Steve-O
who
00:42:24
BeyBlade
You know what? I'm going to say this. It probably is worse than Hubie Halloween, though.
00:42:29
billfrankenstein
oh no.
00:42:30
Steve-O
oh
00:42:30
silkdong
Well, you know what? You might be right because Tim Meadows is in Who Be Halloween.
00:42:33
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:42:34
Steve-O
There you go.
00:42:34
silkdong
So, automatically...
00:42:34
BeyBlade
Dude, there is...
00:42:35
Steve-O
You're a big Uncle Rico guy though, Devin, right?
00:42:38
BeyBlade
Okay, so so the question, like, did I like that?
00:42:40
billfrankenstein
Google Rico?
00:42:42
BeyBlade
The Uncle Rico scene, still the clip still makes me laugh to this day.
00:42:42
Steve-O
From Napoleon Dynamite.
00:42:43
billfrankenstein
Yeah.
00:42:46
billfrankenstein
Yeah, of course.
00:42:47
BeyBlade
So, there is... i don't know. Okay, so...
00:42:51
billfrankenstein
Listen, I think Napoleon Dynamite's funny movie. Like, it's still a funny movie.
00:42:53
BeyBlade
Yeah, yeah.
00:42:54
silkdong
I like Napoleon Dynamite.
00:42:54
BeyBlade
No, dude. Have you guys, have you guys, any of you seen Nacho Libre?
00:42:55
billfrankenstein
It's fine.
00:42:58
Steve-O
No.
00:42:58
billfrankenstein
No.
00:42:59
silkdong
No, I have no desire to.
00:42:59
billfrankenstein
No.
00:42:59
BeyBlade
Well, fucking don't, first of all.
00:43:01
billfrankenstein
Yeah. Yeah.
00:43:02
BeyBlade
ah But listen, as a comedy, dog shit. As like movie that has like Lucha Libre wrestling in it, it's it's offensive.
Nacho Libre and Cultural Representation
00:43:13
BeyBlade
And i'm not I'm not one to pearll like clutch my pearls.
00:43:13
silkdong
a
00:43:16
BeyBlade
But I went to, I was like, Jenny, these guys are shit workers. I was like, these guys don't even know how to work. Like, yeah it's literally like the director was like, oh, just, just the director.
00:43:24
silkdong
time.
00:43:26
billfrankenstein
We got Jack Black. He can do his thing.
00:43:28
BeyBlade
No, no. Because here's the thing.
00:43:29
billfrankenstein
no
00:43:30
BeyBlade
Here's the, this is a real, me I'm unnecessarily mad about this. There's a real Metal Gear Solid 2 fucking bait and switch that happens in this movie where it's called Nacho Libre.
00:43:43
BeyBlade
It has Jack Black as Nacho Libre. But it's not about Nacho Libre wrestling. It's about him and this weird fucking dude who's his tag team partner.
00:43:56
BeyBlade
And most of the movie is just them dicking around being stupid.
00:43:59
billfrankenstein
Oh, boy.
00:44:00
BeyBlade
And I'm like, who the fuck is this character? He has nothing. He has zero to this film. And like like I said, like it's literally like the director just went, i um They were like, okay, what's the choreography? He's like, i don't know, nothing. Just like fucking act like you're wrestling.
00:44:16
BeyBlade
And it's like guys getting hit and then just like falling over like it's their first day
00:44:19
billfrankenstein
So you're you're describing a oh you're describing a lazy movie.
00:44:22
BeyBlade
it's Dude, it's so – I mean I'm just talking about Frida Wrestling and maybe i'm maybe fucking luchadores – maybe people love this. and ah But to me, I'm like this is so disrespectful to the art of wrestling.
00:44:33
Steve-O
The fuck was that?
00:44:35
billfrankenstein
Oh, yeah, I heard that, too.
00:44:36
BeyBlade
that thunder?
00:44:36
billfrankenstein
It sounded like thunder.
00:44:36
silkdong
Devon's crashing out.
00:44:37
BeyBlade
Is that thunder?
00:44:38
silkdong
Oh.
00:44:38
BeyBlade
Is it raining now?
00:44:40
Steve-O
I don't know.
00:44:40
silkdong
not I didn't see Thunder.
00:44:40
BeyBlade
Yeah, apparently there's a thunderstorm four inches away from my house. Hold on.
00:44:44
billfrankenstein
Oh, I just heard thunder. Wow.
00:44:46
BeyBlade
Okay.
00:44:46
billfrankenstein
How do you like that?
00:44:48
silkdong
Thunder.
00:44:49
billfrankenstein
on that
00:44:49
Steve-O
Thunder.
00:44:49
silkdong
and Thunder.
00:44:50
billfrankenstein
so Talking about Nacho Lean Break, God's like, yo, I want in on this.
00:44:50
Steve-O
Oh, yeah, I just heard it too.
00:44:52
BeyBlade
Yeah, yeah, I...
00:44:54
Steve-O
I love Nacho Libre!
00:44:56
BeyBlade
yeah, yeah.
00:44:56
billfrankenstein
He hates Devin. He fucking hates Devin right now.
00:44:59
BeyBlade
du dude like i get why this hurt jack black's career and also like you know not to be that guy but i'm like was he ever gonna be the right choice for this movie i don't know his lineage
00:45:11
billfrankenstein
Yeah.
00:45:12
Steve-O
I mean, yeah, that feels a little problematic at this point in time, right?
00:45:15
billfrankenstein
Yeah, I think a lot of people thought that at the time.
00:45:15
BeyBlade
i mean listen i'm just gonna say this it doesn't age well certainly 2006 it might have even raised a few eyebrows but
00:45:21
billfrankenstein
i think people were pretty, like, ornery about it when it came out, if I remember.
00:45:25
BeyBlade
Yeah, dude, it's like...
00:45:28
BeyBlade
um So, listen, I get it, Chris. You didn't like Predator Ballet. That's not kill.
00:45:33
billfrankenstein
Yeah.
00:45:34
BeyBlade
Dr. Libre in 2025 is a fucking kill, dude.
00:45:35
Steve-O
That's for Libre. Yeah.
00:45:35
billfrankenstein
You know what, Evan?
00:45:36
Steve-O
yeah
00:45:36
silkdong
hu
00:45:37
billfrankenstein
Now I gotta watch Nacho Libre to confirm this.
00:45:39
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:45:39
Steve-O
Is that the new Terminator 2 reverse where it's like, that's bad, it's no Nacho Libre bad.
00:45:40
billfrankenstein
Wow.
00:45:46
BeyBlade
So, Dr. Libre in 2025 bad.
00:45:48
Steve-O
Ooh,
00:45:50
BeyBlade
Holy shit.
Personal Gaming Experiences
00:45:51
BeyBlade
But, like, literally, dude, like, i don't think I've seen... This, yeah, yeah, this is like on the level, probably even worse than fucking Five Nights at Freddy's.
00:46:02
Steve-O
oo we got the sequel coming out, Devin.
00:46:02
billfrankenstein
wow
00:46:03
BeyBlade
Like, I was like, like i literally was like, this is the worst movie I've seen this year.
00:46:04
Steve-O
So...
00:46:04
billfrankenstein
That movie is dog shit.
00:46:07
BeyBlade
Like, i i was thinking about like the list, the end of the year list. I was like, I might somehow find an excuse to put Natural Libre on this.
00:46:14
Steve-O
we We know it.
00:46:14
BeyBlade
Because this how fucking much I hated that movie.
00:46:16
Steve-O

BeyBlade
That's it. ah
00:46:34
billfrankenstein
There goes my new category, the do-over movie of the year.
00:46:34
BeyBlade
Yeah. think
00:46:37
Steve-O
what Well, no, like what if what if we entered a category that was like the the best the best thing that like I slept on or something from like a previous year that like you discovered this year and then like the worst thing.
00:46:39
billfrankenstein
but
00:46:51
BeyBlade
That's just called the John Suarez category.
00:46:54
silkdong
Yeah, what I've got a laundry list of things.
00:46:55
BeyBlade
the best The best thing I didn't enjoy because I played Destiny 2 for seven years straight.
00:47:01
silkdong
Yeah, no, no, that's all real.
00:47:02
Steve-O
i mean, holiday, that's a guaranteed lock, right?
00:47:04

00:47:07
Steve-O
But then again, wait, when did you play Red Dead, John?
00:47:11
silkdong

silkdong
I've been on a legendary run.

00:47:27
silkdong
but It's about to end on Dispatch after I play Expedition 33.
00:47:37
BeyBlade
They would be like, oh my god, like if we all just waited 15 years, like we yeah we we too could
00:47:42
silkdong
If we all waited eight years to play Hollow Knight for the first time, we wouldn't have to wait eight years for the sequel.
00:47:46
BeyBlade
good yeah could get on John Suarez's level, because that is...
00:47:51
silkdong
Just saying, man.
00:47:52
Steve-O
that's kind of you know what That's kind of a sick way to go about gaming.
00:47:55
BeyBlade
I mean, listen,
00:47:56
silkdong
Just play play it way play things way later.
00:47:56

00:48:30
Steve-O

BeyBlade

00:48:40
silkdong
And then Cyberpunk... Cyberpunk was a... Well, does that count? Because I technically bought that game twice because I bought it on PS5. Okay.

Okay.
00:48:52
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:48:53
silkdong

00:49:39
BeyBlade

00:49:40

00:49:50
silkdong
um If I stretch it out from last year to this year...
00:49:54
BeyBlade
Whenever John, you decide to say, I'm going to lock in, I'm going to take this gaming thing seriously.
00:49:59
Steve-O
Dude.
00:50:00
BeyBlade
Whenever you started that, like a year or two ago.
00:50:00
silkdong
I'm going to line my entire inner mouth, inner lip with with just 50 Zins and just go in there, you know?
00:50:05
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:50:07
billfrankenstein

Steve-O
Ooh. Ooh. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.
00:50:18
billfrankenstein
Ooh, cinnamon. That sounds good.

silkdong
Cinnamon does sound good, doesn't it?
00:50:21
BeyBlade
you know
00:50:21
Steve-O
looking up Zin flavors.
00:50:22
BeyBlade
an intense one
00:50:23
billfrankenstein
That's my THC Zen flavor.
00:50:26
silkdong
No, but like, I was saying this on the, on our Discord too, like, the last two years have actually, like, redefined my my gaming identity.
00:50:35
BeyBlade
yeah
00:50:35
silkdong
Because, like, I never played...
00:50:35
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:50:37
silkdong
And yeah you know what? It may have started with Elden Ring. Sadly.
00:50:41
billfrankenstein
Hmm.
00:50:42
silkdong
Like, i played that i played that because I made a deal with with my with my Destiny 2 clan main at the time that he would finish God of War Ragnarok, but I have to play Elden Ring and I have to try.
00:50:51
BeyBlade
That's right. Yeah. yeah yeah
00:50:53
silkdong
i have to play and I have to try. And then... um
00:50:59
Steve-O
Dang. dang
00:50:59
silkdong
And then that yeah and that overtook fucking God of War as my game of the year that year. What that, 2022? Right?
00:51:06
BeyBlade
I hurt my feelings a little bit, but what are you going to do?
00:51:09
silkdong
Dude, it hurt my feelings when Silksong took over Donkey Kong Bonanza, and then when I finished Act 1 of Claire Obscure, I was like, uh-oh.
00:51:11
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:51:15
silkdong
We're cooking with gas now!
00:51:17
BeyBlade
we might be yeah yeah like you get it you get it but you know
00:51:17
silkdong
like what's But it's safe to say, I'm like i'm in Act 3 of Claire Obscure now. I don't think it's going to overtake Silksong. Silksong was a fucking... I get it, yeah, I get it, and I understand, and I wouldn't be upset if it won Game of the Year.
00:51:33
silkdong
like I'm not gonna kill myself like all the Claire Obscure ah fucking Glazers out there that that have found gaming for the first time in their lives.
00:51:36
BeyBlade
yeah
00:51:40
silkdong
This is their first real game.
00:51:40
BeyBlade
yeah I still can't get over that one guy. like Shroud, whoever the fuck that guy is.
00:51:45
silkdong
Oh, yeah, dude.
00:51:45
BeyBlade
it was like If Ark Raiders doesn't win Game in the Year, like it's so it's an L for gaming.
00:51:51
silkdong
Yeah, he's like, we cannot let that Expedition 33 game win.
00:51:52
billfrankenstein
Arp Raider?
00:51:54
silkdong
We have to vote.
00:51:54
Steve-O
multiplayer needs a dub what oh fuck
00:51:55
silkdong
Like, you can't even vote.
00:51:57
BeyBlade
yeah and You can't even vote either.
00:51:57
silkdong
You can't even vote. Like, you can't even vote for it. Like, what the fuck are you saying? And again, like, that's a dude that his entire career is playing games like Arc Raider, so I guess, I don't know.
00:52:10
silkdong
I just don't, I don't agree.
00:52:10
BeyBlade
I don't know who that guy is, to be honest.
00:52:11
Steve-O
me eSports gamer and mouse salesman that's the only reason I know Shroud
00:52:12
silkdong
I don't agree.
00:52:15
billfrankenstein
Mouse!
00:52:16
silkdong
yeah he's like a fucking legendary, like, like, Warzone, and like, um, like, he's like a legendary, like, Battle Royale, like, shooting streamer guy.
00:52:21
BeyBlade
Okay.
00:52:25
BeyBlade
Yeah, so... Yeah, so he probably really has his finger on the pulse of...
00:52:28
silkdong
i don't I don't get the sentiment where he's just like, we're the minority.
00:52:29
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:52:31
silkdong
It's like, no, you're not. These are the best-selling games every fucking year, dude.
00:52:35
Steve-O
Right. Call of Duty.
00:52:35
silkdong
like
00:52:35
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:52:36
Steve-O
Come on. Like what?
00:52:37
silkdong
Call of Duty, fucking Fortnite, fucking... like These are your games that are better always relevant and and and will be for the for the you know for the time being. like they're always They're always going to be relevant.
00:52:46
BeyBlade
Yeah. No, dude's a dude's a joke.
00:52:49
Steve-O
He's talking at his ass, talking at his behind.
00:52:52
silkdong
Well, he got a lot of engagement.
00:52:52
BeyBlade
mean...
00:52:53
silkdong
A lot of people were fucking triggered by that. I mean, I was triggered too, and I don't even feel that way about
00:52:55
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:52:58
silkdong
about Expedition 33.
00:52:59
BeyBlade
Oh, can I tell you about something that ah that triggered me?
00:53:01
silkdong
I was just like,
00:53:04
BeyBlade
It's very stupid. I was telling Chris. I sent him i sent Chris this guy on TikTok. There's this guy...
00:53:12
billfrankenstein
Yeah, I love this guy.
00:53:14
BeyBlade
who he's like a super big Trekkie fan. And he's he's he's he's like the definition of a Trekkie fan, though.
00:53:19
billfrankenstein
It's wonderful. It's good to see him out there.
00:53:24
BeyBlade
Like if you had a stereotype of a Trekkie fan, it's this guy. And then, of course, the the question of like, oh, who would win a play, Star Trek or Star Wars or this and that? And then he found his audience where he just triggers a bunch of guys because he just talks about how how poorly Warhammer Universe would do against Star Trek.
00:53:44
silkdong
Oh, no.
00:53:45
BeyBlade
And he's smug about it.
00:53:46
Steve-O
Thank you.
00:53:48
billfrankenstein
He's like, you know what he called them, John?
00:53:49
BeyBlade
i
00:53:49
Steve-O
like
00:53:50
billfrankenstein
He called them space rednecks because they had chainsaws.
00:53:52
BeyBlade
look Yeah. Yeah, like... like
00:53:56
billfrankenstein
He's like, I'm phaser.
00:53:56
silkdong
Wait, so he thinks star the star he thinks the Star Trek crew could take down Warhammer guys? Like, if they ever...
00:54:02
billfrankenstein
Because, yeah.
00:54:03
BeyBlade
and that but he Not only does he think like Star Trek would win, he's like the like ah research teams would just like lay waste to everybody.
00:54:08
billfrankenstein
Space rednecks.
00:54:11
silkdong
What?
00:54:13
billfrankenstein
Because they have phasers and they're disintegrating phasers, right?
00:54:13
BeyBlade
Because he's like the technology.
00:54:14
silkdong
Oh my god.
00:54:14
BeyBlade
They have phasers and teleporters.
00:54:17
billfrankenstein
So it's like, what's a chainsword against?
00:54:19
BeyBlade
But, like, dude, you got to listen. because Because, yeah, somebody was like, ah oh, that's, that's yeah, I get it.
00:54:25
silkdong
yeah
00:54:25
BeyBlade
You have lasers. But, like, what happens when a fucking 10-foot-tall armored nightmare creature runs in with a chainsaw? And he's like, a chainsaw? What the thing?
00:54:36
silkdong
Wait, and he's like he's like genuine too? It's not like a bit he's doing?
00:54:38
BeyBlade
I think. I mean,
Vince Gilligan's 'Pluribus' Series
00:54:40
BeyBlade
it might be a little amped up, but I'd say it's, like, 95% genuine.
00:54:40
billfrankenstein
Well, he's pushing.
00:54:43
BeyBlade
january
00:54:45
silkdong
That's funny, dude.
00:54:45
BeyBlade
And like I watch it knowing that he's and he's hamming it up a little bit. And it still triggered me a little bit. i was like, I can't fucking this guy. This guy is pissing me off.
00:54:57
BeyBlade
But I told Chris. And he immediately was like, oh, yeah, yeah.
00:54:59
billfrankenstein
I love it. I'm glad he exists. Someone's out there speaking for us.
00:55:02
BeyBlade
And it's like, I'm not even that guy. like i Trust me, I'm not that guy to be like, boom it's going to be the book. At least I try not to be that guy. But this guy makes me want to write an angry email.
00:55:16
BeyBlade
You know what I mean? like you want He wants me... I want to go in the comments and be like, you're...

Yeah, yeah.
00:55:22
billfrankenstein
You give him more ammunition. I mean, he's he would just load you up.
00:55:24
BeyBlade
It also doesn't help that he's not like super familiar with it. like You can tell he's learning as he talks about it, but but still, dude, that fucking guy.
00:55:31
billfrankenstein
Sure.

00:56:06
Steve-O
Well, we had a big sci-fi release this week.
00:56:11
billfrankenstein
You aren't kidding.
00:56:13
BeyBlade
did
00:56:13
billfrankenstein
Yeah, we did.
00:56:14
Steve-O
Vince Gilligan is back.
00:56:14
billfrankenstein
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
00:56:16
BeyBlade
Oh.
00:56:16
silkdong
Oh.
00:56:18
Steve-O
Chris, you came in and you were like, hey, did anybody watch Pluribus? Pluribus, the new Apple TV show? And I went, oh, fuck, that's out. I went, I watched both episodes.
00:56:29
BeyBlade
That kind snuck in, didn't it?
00:56:30
Steve-O
It really did. And you were like, you were talking about how ah Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul to you kind of had slower, would you describe it as almost weak pilots?
00:56:40
BeyBlade
Hmm.
00:56:44
billfrankenstein
Yeah, I think as like comparatively to the rest of the show,
00:56:48
BeyBlade
I mean, i would say yeah or for Better Call.
00:56:49
billfrankenstein
both
00:56:51
BeyBlade
I really like the pilot for Breaking Bad.
00:56:54
billfrankenstein
I'm not going to say it's not good, but it pales in comparison to where the show actually goes.
00:56:54
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:56:58
Steve-O
Where it goes.
00:57:00
billfrankenstein
And I think that's a great thing.
00:57:01
BeyBlade
yeah
00:57:03
billfrankenstein
Like, a show should always get better.
00:57:05
Steve-O
If you watch Breaking Bad, if you watch just that pilot, you're like, oh, this is going to like a quirky comedy.
00:57:05
billfrankenstein
And...
00:57:10
billfrankenstein
Exactly. It's very kind of deceptive. And I think they knew they had something else. Like, something... more to it as it progressed so like this on the other hand
00:57:20
Steve-O
You
00:57:22
BeyBlade
with Yeah, I don't have Apple TV, some so I'm still...
00:57:28
Steve-O
want me put on that first episode now? Just watch it.
00:57:30
billfrankenstein

00:57:32
Steve-O
You fucking just watch it.
00:57:33
BeyBlade
Yeah. it's ah It's an hour-long show, right?
00:57:37
Steve-O
No, I'm in full agreement. I am riveted. I cannot wait for this Friday. I think this is my new addiction. This is my new addiction show.
00:57:46
silkdong
Oh, shit.
00:57:46
billfrankenstein
Yeah, yeah. This is something cool and special and oddly very funny.
00:57:49
BeyBlade
Wow.
00:57:53
Steve-O
I don't want to talk about any of it because I feel like the just everything is what you need to have happen to you.
00:57:55
billfrankenstein
No. No.
00:58:01
billfrankenstein
it's It's, yeah, and it's, um I didn't expect it. I heard some plot details and seeing that first episode, I was like, damn, okay.
00:58:05
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:58:11
billfrankenstein
I mean, they were hinting around what it was. But this is something else that was not expecting.
00:58:18
BeyBlade
Okay.
00:58:18
Steve-O
Yeah, just go into it, just blind.
00:58:21
BeyBlade
Is she, ah is the the main actress? Is she, I want to say fun, but like, like, is she good?
00:58:28
billfrankenstein
That's a bad word to use in this context.
00:58:29
BeyBlade
Is she good in it?
00:58:30
Steve-O
ah
00:58:30
silkdong
Yeah.
00:58:30
BeyBlade
I guess. Yeah. Cause I know she's like supposed to be like the world's most miserable person or something, but I mean like, is it like fun to watch her be miserable?
00:58:32
billfrankenstein
Ah!
00:58:38
billfrankenstein
I mean, what?
00:58:41
Steve-O
Rhea Seahorn is interesting because i remember from Better Call Saul, like, you know watching her in Better Call Saul and then watching her in like the behind the scenes stuff for Better Call Saul, where like she is a very pleasant, jokey, fun person.
00:58:41
BeyBlade
All right. All right.
00:58:59
BeyBlade
Right.
00:59:00
Steve-O
Seeing her in this is very night and day.
00:59:01
billfrankenstein
yeah It's different.
00:59:03
Steve-O
It's yeah it's different from even Better bra ah better Call Saul, like.
00:59:03
billfrankenstein
Yeah.
00:59:03
BeyBlade
Yeah, I mean, chicken be he would say she could be pretty severe in Better Call Saul at times, you know?
00:59:13
billfrankenstein
um
00:59:13
BeyBlade
Okay, all right.
00:59:14
Steve-O
yeah I think Chris and I are both at the same place right now because it's like...
00:59:14
BeyBlade
don
00:59:18
Steve-O
it's Dude, it's just Vince Gilligan fucking crushing it
00:59:19
billfrankenstein
Devin, it's about repercussions.
00:59:22
BeyBlade
Yeah, and it's Vince Gilligan being really good at his job.
00:59:22
billfrankenstein
That's all going to say.
00:59:22
Steve-O
a
00:59:25
Steve-O
it. He's back ah to making a show and again... ah Chris, do you think this has the potential of doing what ah Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul did, where we name one of the anti-fanny awards at the end of the year after it?
00:59:44
billfrankenstein
It's having such a strong start and such like, it's very digestible too. Like it's not complicated in any way.
00:59:54
Steve-O
No.
00:59:54
billfrankenstein
um i just think like it can only, that to me means it can only expand bigger.
01:00:00
Steve-O
Mm-hmm.
01:00:00
billfrankenstein
Like it's got a bigger idea behind it. That's what I'm really looking for.
01:00:06
Steve-O
Yes.
01:00:06
billfrankenstein
So I don't, I don't see it yet, but there's hints of it. And i i don't want to say anything yet, right? Like, it's hard to say, yeah, like, don't know.
01:00:17
Steve-O
We're still so early on too.
01:00:20
billfrankenstein
Like, it if anything, it could be, like, best, one of the better female performances on TV that I've ever seen.
01:00:28
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:00:28
BeyBlade
Yeah,
Streaming Services and Phone Plans
01:00:29
billfrankenstein
That's what it could be shaping up to be. Like a Rhea Sehorne Award for female performances.
01:00:35
Steve-O
The seahorn.
01:00:36
BeyBlade
yeah dude i need
01:00:37
billfrankenstein
Yeah.
01:00:37
silkdong
Uh-huh.
01:00:37
Steve-O
We've got the spitty, the seahorn.
01:00:40
billfrankenstein
Because I loved her in Better Call Saul, and I know this is like, she's handling everything. She's the she's the lead.
01:00:47
Steve-O
i just, I'm just always like, when you watch a Vince Gilligan show, it's just, even the parts that are just like very mundane.
01:00:48
billfrankenstein
The lead.
01:00:56
billfrankenstein
Mundane?
01:00:57
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:00:57
billfrankenstein
Yes!
01:00:58
Steve-O
Are fucking gorgeous.
01:00:58
billfrankenstein
Yes, yes.
01:01:00
Steve-O
And like, just arresting to look at.
01:01:03
billfrankenstein
they He does the, um, the camera and places, the impossible placement of the camera a lot in this too, which I always fucking love that in Breaking Bad.
01:01:09
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:01:13
Steve-O
yeah
01:01:14
billfrankenstein
Like, it's just, these are really impossible shots that he will pull off every once in a while. Uh, yeah, dude, this is, this looks expensive as shit.
01:01:24
Steve-O
It really does.
01:01:24
billfrankenstein
Fuck. Like, this is a big budget show if I've ever seen one. Um, So yeah, there's that too.
01:01:35
Steve-O

01:01:38
billfrankenstein
Whoa!
01:01:41
billfrankenstein
That's awful. was like $150 million for the season. I'm like, that's pretty crazy.

01:01:47
Steve-O
Okay. Yeah.
01:01:48
BeyBlade

01:01:51
billfrankenstein

01:03:02
billfrankenstein

BeyBlade
Okay, okay, yeah, that's episode two.

01:06:05

BeyBlade
So I tried it too. was like, yeah, it's nowhere near as good as, it's

billfrankenstein
Interesting.
01:09:47

01:09:53
billfrankenstein
ah I see.
01:09:53
Steve-O
But if like annoying 2013 kids were hanging out, they were the best.

silkdong
Yeah, dude.
01:11:30
billfrankenstein
Um, there was a scene in this that I went, Oh, at the gym. Um, I don't want to spoil because I didn't expect him to do that.
01:11:40
Steve-O
Do you read your comics at the gym?
01:11:40
BeyBlade
Okay.
01:11:40
billfrankenstein
Uh, yeah, was in between sets. So I'll read like couple pages.

BeyBlade
i You know what? like I get it.
01:11:48
silkdong
Hmm.
01:11:48
BeyBlade

01:11:53
billfrankenstein
It's fine. I got a big phone.
01:11:57
BeyBlade
Yeah, you do.
01:11:57
silkdong
You got a big phone, baby.
01:12:00
billfrankenstein
ah You know what that means?
01:12:01
silkdong
Well, it'll be easier to read when you get your new phone, whenever that comes.
01:12:03
Steve-O
but
01:12:05
BeyBlade
Yeah, yeah. For, did you know, a fun fun update, i we literally got to the point where we had to switch carriers.
01:12:13
Steve-O
Really?
01:12:13
BeyBlade
where Yeah, we're now on AT&T.
01:12:13
silkdong
Wow.
01:12:15
BeyBlade
That's how bad it's been.
01:12:16
Steve-O
Wait, so, okay, what was, I need to know that the carrier where we went from.
01:12:20
BeyBlade
Xfinity.
01:12:21
Steve-O
So when did you jump to Xfinity?
01:12:22
BeyBlade
Xfinity 2.
01:12:25
BeyBlade
I've been on Xfinity for a minute. um It was, i i had AT&T,
01:12:33
BeyBlade
i It's funny. I bounced from Xfinity to AT&T and then back to Xfinity when my dad's like, do you just want to get on my family plan? And I looked at me paying like $20 versus like the $110 a month or whatever I was paying. And I was like, sure, that sounds fair.
01:12:52
BeyBlade
And then switched.
01:12:57
BeyBlade
from my family plan to plan with Jenny in ah in Xfinity, because she also had Xfinity. um But then with all this crap that we've had to deal with, we are now just switching from Xfinity to AT&T.
01:13:10
billfrankenstein
You're pulling the plug. Yeah.
01:13:12
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:13:13
Steve-O
They treat you like absolute piss at Xfinity.
01:13:13
BeyBlade
I'm not
01:13:14
billfrankenstein
Rest in peace, Xfinity. Yeah.
01:13:16
BeyBlade
going to lie.
01:13:18
billfrankenstein
Rest in piss, Xfinity.
01:13:19
BeyBlade
It's not a good sign where I walked out of AT&T going, like, finally, someone listened to me.
01:13:24
Steve-O
but Yeah, that's kind of scary.
01:13:24
BeyBlade
Like, that's it That's insane. And I said that.
01:13:28
silkdong
Wait, did you get a phone did you get your phone, though, there?
01:13:31
BeyBlade
So no, not yet. um
01:13:32
Steve-O
You found this?
01:13:33
BeyBlade
and No, I'm not phoneless, but i I have the phone that like barely works. um
01:13:38
silkdong
Don't they just give you a phone when you sign up for a new plan?
01:13:41
BeyBlade
Well, it's not a, it's not a, it wasn't in stock. So he's like, it's getting mailed, but he's like, it's getting mailed to here, like to the location.
01:13:48
billfrankenstein
What did
01:13:49
silkdong
To the fucking store, right?
01:13:51
BeyBlade
Yeah, to the fucking store. So I'm supposed to... It's supposed to come today or Monday, Tuesday.
01:13:55
silkdong
so you know So you don't have to file a police report.
01:13:58
billfrankenstein
get? What did you get, Devin? Oh, you're getting the fold.
01:14:00
BeyBlade
I got the Galaxy Fold Z.
01:14:03
Steve-O
Oh, getting a fold.
01:14:03
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:14:04
Steve-O
Maybe
01:14:04
BeyBlade
So maybe, yeah, when I fold it open at the gym, then I can read comics, I guess.
01:14:09
Steve-O
I'll read your comics.
01:14:10
billfrankenstein
I might get... Oh, that sounds good.
01:14:12
Steve-O
um You know what? that
01:14:13
BeyBlade
You know what I wouldn't recommend...
01:14:13
Steve-O
This...
01:14:15
BeyBlade
just If they have it, pick it up, maybe. I wouldn't recommend getting it mailed to your house.
01:14:17
billfrankenstein
look at Devin... you I'm going to wait with Devin, see what Devin says.
01:14:21
BeyBlade
It's just funny, too, because like I'm getting a phone that I i really feel like...
01:14:23
silkdong
It's Samsung, Chris. It's lame.
01:14:25
billfrankenstein
I'm not going to get a Samsung one. They got a Google one I was thinking about getting.
01:14:28
BeyBlade
Do they have a Google phone?
01:14:29
billfrankenstein
Yeah, they do.
01:14:29
silkdong
Yeah, there's a Google Pixel fold.
01:14:30
BeyBlade
Okay. hey with okay Well, listen. I also feel like this phone is like... it's If I drop it more than six inches, it's going to break. So I'm like pretty psyched about that.
01:14:39
billfrankenstein
Yeah, that's the that's the issue.
01:14:40
silkdong
And knowing you, Devin, you will.
01:14:41
billfrankenstein
Like,
01:14:43
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:14:44
silkdong
Because you're on the brink.
01:14:45
Steve-O
You got to get yourself a big case.
01:14:45
silkdong
So that just means it's just subconsciously you're just you're you're gonna you're gonna you're gonna be you're gonna
01:14:47
billfrankenstein
I don't even know how you put a case on that. The foldables. how them you work
01:14:51
Steve-O
Oh, yeah. How do you do that?
01:14:52
silkdong
You're going message the Discord one morning and be like so funny story. I ran over my phone today with my car. I'm not really sure how that happened.
01:14:59
BeyBlade
so crazy you know one time i one time i legitimately walked in to ah store and i said that because i had a phone that i spiked on the fucking ground because i i don't know something bad happened i guess i can't remember the logic but i was like yeah he got ran over and the guy's like huh and i was like can i trade this in the guy's like uh no you're not allowed to and i was like
01:15:01
Steve-O
I was using my phone as a seat.
01:15:02
billfrankenstein
Actually, think I know how to do it.
01:15:26
BeyBlade
That's fair.
01:15:26
billfrankenstein
Was it a flip phone?
01:15:26
BeyBlade
and i No, no. It was like a... I think it was an iPhone. think it the last iPhones we had.
01:15:30
billfrankenstein
Oh, whoa. Shit.
01:15:33
BeyBlade
Where like it did break. It like did break. But you know then I was like, well, let me get my frustrations out. And spiked it into the earth.
01:15:43
Steve-O
you need a frustration phone like a burner
01:15:46
BeyBlade
Dude, that's the note that's a Nokia break.
01:15:47
billfrankenstein
Who makes those?
01:15:47
silkdong
Thank you.
01:15:48
billfrankenstein
Who makes those? don't know. Nokia brick.
01:15:50
BeyBlade
Dude, one time, you know, it's funny because like this is very much like, oh, yeah, all it all makes sense now after I tell these stories.
01:15:52
billfrankenstein
Yeah.
01:16:00
BeyBlade
One time I was in a fight with a girl. I wasn't even dating. But I was driving. I was driving. and this I like straight up Nokia brick. I was driving and like something something stupid happened. it And I was like, fuck. And I just spiked it out of my friend's car.
01:16:18
BeyBlade
And I was like, fuck, stop the car, turn around. And he just laughed at my face.
01:16:23
billfrankenstein
Did you destroy it?
01:16:24
BeyBlade
For the five minutes while I had to like, like find the 10 pieces that, you know, create Nokia brick.
01:16:29
billfrankenstein
Oh, you oh yeah exploded. Nice.
01:16:34
billfrankenstein
Nice.
01:16:35
BeyBlade
So listen, it's not, not going to say it's just straight bad luck. I've had some bad luck, but you know, some of it's full blown. Just me, just me being bad with technology.
01:16:48
BeyBlade
I'll admit it. I'm man enough.
01:16:50
Steve-O
I'm always bothered when I see somebody putting their phone in their back pocket.
01:16:54
billfrankenstein
Yeah, I don't like that either.
01:16:54
silkdong
Yeah, I don't like it. ah hate it.
01:16:55
BeyBlade
Last time I put something like that in my back pocket, it was ah it was a ah Game Boy 2D, 2DS.
01:17:01
Steve-O
Oh, the TDS.
01:17:02
billfrankenstein
Oof.
01:17:03
BeyBlade
And that was the first and last time I did that.
01:17:03
billfrankenstein
Oof. My ass will destroy that thing.
01:17:07
silkdong
yeah dude.
01:17:07
billfrankenstein
Like, I know it. Like, i got I got a big ass.
01:17:10
BeyBlade
Yeah, no, mine did.
01:17:11
billfrankenstein
It's...
01:17:12
Steve-O
I want to know who are these people who have ass confidence that their ass will not crush whatever is back there.
01:17:12
BeyBlade
Confirmed.
01:17:19
billfrankenstein
Maybe softer ass people.
01:17:21
BeyBlade
No, because, yeah, because, like, listen, I definitely wouldn't say i have a bony ass, you know, and that thing fucking splattered.
01:17:21
billfrankenstein
I would say.
01:17:21
silkdong
Even that, dude. That's like Your whole weight is is on the phone, you know?
01:17:25
billfrankenstein
Yeah.
01:17:31
billfrankenstein
Yeah, it's the curvature. It's really gonna fuck with that phone.
01:17:34
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:17:35
billfrankenstein
Yeah, it's a person that doesn't value the... And I see most people that do that don't have cases for their phones either.
01:17:42
Steve-O
while.
01:17:42
billfrankenstein
So it's like, it's like it's it's the perfect Venn diagram.
01:17:45
silkdong
That's what you get insurance for, Chris.
01:17:45
billfrankenstein
Yeah,
01:17:47
silkdong
That's what everybody says when I'm like, why aren't you using a case?
01:17:50
billfrankenstein
just put a case.
01:17:50
Steve-O
I mean...
01:17:50
silkdong
Well, I got insurance, so if it breaks, I'll just have to pay $300 deductible and I'll get a new phone.
01:17:55
Steve-O
now now hold on Now, hold on a second, John. I didn't have insurance. I had a case. You're the one who sold me on taking insurance for my current phone.
01:18:02
silkdong
Oh, no, no, you should still get insurance on your phone. But I'm just saying you shouldn't you shouldn't go fucking naked caseless just because you have insurance.
01:18:05
Steve-O
Okay, okay, okay.
01:18:09
billfrankenstein
Yeah, yeah.
01:18:09
Steve-O
No...
01:18:10
silkdong
Like, that's what I'm saying. Because
01:18:11
billfrankenstein
It's like walking around like naked outside being like, I got health insurance. Yeah.
01:18:16
silkdong
you know what?
01:18:16
Steve-O
I got health insurance.
01:18:16
silkdong
My my my iPad... fucking that I do have insurance on I was I wasn't really rocking a case with it just because it's an iPad and guess whose four-year-old son dropped it on concrete and cracked and cracked in half
01:18:29
Steve-O
Fucking Paul. God damn it.
01:18:30
BeyBlade
Where to go, Paul?
01:18:32
silkdong
but uh but yeah I mean granted the deductible is only like 50 bucks well it was 50 bucks to replace the screen but they ended up just replacing the whole thing because it's all her iPad so
01:18:41
BeyBlade
oh Oh, yeah.
01:18:42
Steve-O
Okay.
01:18:42
BeyBlade
By the by the way, this is what called this is what officially caused the switch. So they tried to tell Jenny that we had to pay a 225 deductible for a lost phone that I never even got to.
01:18:54
silkdong
It never got there.
01:18:56
Steve-O
What?
01:18:56
BeyBlade
Yeah, they were like, well, the deductible would be $225. We were like, okay, cool.
01:18:59
silkdong
Fuck that, dude.
01:19:02
Steve-O
There's the there' is no existing phone.
01:19:02
billfrankenstein
Tell him to go eat a butt.
01:19:04
BeyBlade
Yeah, I was like, I didn't even touch the phone. The phone never got here.
01:19:04
silkdong
so because like...
01:19:07
silkdong
yes Yeah, it was never...
01:19:07
BeyBlade
cause they were like Because we said, well, it's insured, so just mail a new one. And they're like, well, you know if we do that, it's going to cost you $225.
01:19:16
silkdong
Fuck that.
01:19:16
BeyBlade
And we're like, that's insane.
01:19:17
Steve-O
Wow. Wow.
01:19:19
BeyBlade
That's an insane statement to tell me.
01:19:19
silkdong
No, because like, when when they when you guys when you guys said that they told you you had to... file police report? I was thinking like they should probably file the police report because they're the ones who shipped it and you never got it.
01:19:31
BeyBlade
I know. Yeah.
01:19:33
Steve-O
Yeah,
01:19:33
silkdong
It was never in, you never owned it.
01:19:33
BeyBlade
yeah we did we did everything We did everything and they still, it came down to, well, you'd have to pay this plus, well, just wait, you know, we're going to send you an email.
01:19:36
silkdong
It's fucking bullshit.
01:19:43
BeyBlade
just
01:19:43
silkdong
This is a multi-trillion dollar company, by the way, that they're penny pinching on.
01:19:44
BeyBlade
And then two days, yeah, two days of not getting an email and then being told we had to do that. i was like, Jenny's like, we're just switching over. i was like, well, she's like, let's just do it.
01:19:55
silkdong
No, and usually when you switch over, the new the new carrier will just pay for your cancellation fee and stuff.
01:19:59
Steve-O
yeah we'll carry
01:19:59
BeyBlade
No, listen. Well, you know you know what it felt like? You know what it felt like? um In a way, it was like kind of a flex, but it's not at the same time because he's like, hey, just so you know, we did ah we got a discount here, discount here, discount here.
01:20:18
BeyBlade
and like i'm still paying more money eighteen t then i would be at xfinity But like, it's like, oh, but look at all these discounts.
01:20:26
silkdong
yeah
01:20:27
BeyBlade
And I'm like, you know, the problem is, is just it shouldn't be that much in the first place, right? Like, that's the real problem.
01:20:32
silkdong
Well, to be fair... To be fair, Devin... To spit some facts in your face... Xfinity is an MVNO. They don't even own their own fucking cell towers.
01:20:44
silkdong
So...
01:20:44
BeyBlade
No, that's the guy was talking shit.
01:20:46
silkdong
So, like, that's why it's technically cheaper to be on Xfinity.
01:20:48
BeyBlade
He's the bottom of Verizon towers. Yeah.
01:20:50
silkdong
Yeah, they use they literally just... You know, they pay Verizon fucking rent to use... like, part of their, their polls. And then they use their, they use Verizon's antennas, too.
01:20:59
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:21:01
silkdong
They use their, their actual cell site, so. It's, like, it's, I don't know.
01:21:06
BeyBlade
Oh, it's cool. Like, I mean, it.
01:21:08
silkdong
But it's also, it's also Comcast, so it's, like, you know, like, it shouldn't matter. Like, a thousand dollar phone shouldn't fucking, won't break the fucking bank.
01:21:14
BeyBlade
Yeah. Well, listen.
01:21:16
Steve-O
I've tried to get a fucking router from Xfinity and they're like, oh all we have are these used like broken ones.
01:21:16
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:21:24
silkdong
Yeah, it's, It's so weird, dude. They're so fucking...
01:21:28
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:21:28
silkdong
They do everything, man.
01:21:30
BeyBlade
And yeah, so it's, you know, again, no nobody, nobody cares for my, my cell phone, my boohoo, poor me, um so cell phone.
01:21:38
Steve-O
I care. want to be able to make a phone call to you.
01:21:41
BeyBlade
Fucking God. I, and I will say, listen, ah Xfinity, like, listen, you're at home, you're using your wifi, everything's going to work fine. But like Xfinity is to like what John was mentioning. It's noticeably a worse cell phone provider.
01:21:57
BeyBlade
Like just in terms of like coverage and shit.
01:21:59
Steve-O
T-Mobile.
01:22:00
BeyBlade
Like it's, you notice it. And I didn't think I'd ever like notice. I didn't think I'd ever be in that situation where I'm like, oh, like I think if I had a different provider, I don't think, I think I'd be able to make a phone call here.
01:22:12
silkdong
Yeah, I mean,
Rockstar Games and Union Issues
01:22:13
silkdong
I don't want to say you get what you pay for, but like there's reasons why like AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon are like more expensive than like Boost and T-Mobile.
01:22:16
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:22:23
Steve-O
t-mobile
01:22:23
billfrankenstein
Thanks, T-Mobile.
01:22:24
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:22:25
silkdong
No, no,
01:22:25
BeyBlade
Yeah. It's just Xfinity throws in everything else. You're like, oh, this makes sense.
01:22:28
silkdong
Yeah, and they're like, yeah, and it's like, it might it might make sense if you have everything else Xfinity, if you have like, you know, but then maybe it might make sense, but like, it's, I don't know.
01:22:34
BeyBlade
Well,
01:22:37
silkdong
I would never do that. Just saying.
01:22:40
BeyBlade
it worked out until, until, um, yeah.
01:22:42
silkdong
i mean i pay I mean, I'm on Verizon, which is which is which is the most, I think it's the most expensive service.
01:22:42
BeyBlade
well it worked out until until
01:22:49
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:22:49
BeyBlade
yeah
01:22:50
silkdong
Are you on Verizon too, Steve?
01:22:51
Steve-O
I switched from T-Mobile to Verizon after.
01:22:54
silkdong
Yeah, and you're paying more, right? You're paying more Verizon.
01:22:55
Steve-O
Yeah, I liked T-Mobile for a long time, but then for some reason, my texts just weren't sending.
01:23:00
silkdong
Yeah.
01:23:02
billfrankenstein
I have AT&T, and I have some issues with the AT&T.
01:23:02
silkdong
I mean, Verizon's pretty chill. and The thing is, they they they try to prey on my mom.
01:23:08
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:23:09
Steve-O
Okay.
01:23:09
billfrankenstein
Like, certain places in New Jersey are are really bad, like Vineland for some reason.
01:23:10
BeyBlade
Anybody, any old...
01:23:15
billfrankenstein
I can't get anything out there.
01:23:16
Steve-O
When I go to the Wawa up the street, ah for some reason I have no signal in there. If I'm, if I'm near the freezers.
01:23:21
billfrankenstein
Interesting.
01:23:24
silkdong
Yeah, and then i no, no.
01:23:24
BeyBlade
don't know why, that's very funny to me.
01:23:27
silkdong
like It's like that. I don't know. When was the last time you guys been to a Dollar General? Every Dollar General I go inside of, it's like fucking it's a blackout zone. like You can't get anything in there.
01:23:36
Steve-O
Is it, what is it called? ah the, um, the cage, uh,
01:23:41
billfrankenstein
Oh, um ah God. ah Guy on Lost.
01:23:45
silkdong
Hell in a Cell. Hell in a Cell.
01:23:46
billfrankenstein
e there He's on Lost.
01:23:48
Steve-O
so
01:23:50
billfrankenstein
He's on Lost.
01:23:50
Steve-O
yeah ah yeah chris yeah Faraday cage ah certain certain stores will have a Faraday cage so like you can't
01:23:51
billfrankenstein
Faraday Cage.
01:23:57
billfrankenstein
Is that really a thing now?
01:23:59
silkdong
Why can't they do that in movie theaters?
01:24:02
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:24:03
silkdong
Why can't they set up a Faraday cage where they just ought turn off?
01:24:04
billfrankenstein
No.
01:24:05
Steve-O
um honestly that's a great that's a great idea
01:24:06
billfrankenstein
Or it matters.
01:24:10
silkdong
No, no, there was talks about that.
01:24:10
billfrankenstein
very
01:24:12
silkdong
like That was like one of the questions about ethics in school or whatever, and someone was like, well, why didn't they just do that? And they're like, well, they've tried, but like the FCC is like, oh, no, you have to be able to to make a
01:24:26
billfrankenstein
emergency phone call.
01:24:26
silkdong
to make an emergency call or take up an emergency call. Like, you know, I mean, I don't know if it's like an archaic thing because doctors had pagers and stuff back then and like surgeons, like emergency surgeons and shit.
01:24:37
silkdong
But like, i don't know if that still applies today, but like, um, it's like shit like that.
01:24:38
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:24:40
billfrankenstein
Hmm.
01:24:44
silkdong
But still, it's like, if I go into a dollar general though, you know, I can't, my phone just won't even turn on inside of there.
01:24:51
billfrankenstein
Yeah, if your leg gets blown off in a Dollar General, you can't call 911 anymore.
01:24:55
BeyBlade
yeah
01:24:55
silkdong
Can't call 911, dawg.
01:24:56
Steve-O
You have to leave the Dollar General before you can call for help.
01:24:58
billfrankenstein
You have to crawl out with your stump, your bloody stump, and make a 911 call.
01:24:58
silkdong
Yeah.
01:25:04
silkdong
Yeah, dude.
01:25:04
Steve-O
You look at the employee and they just look back at you not knowing what to do.
01:25:08
silkdong
Yeah, we don't have a phone. Sorry.
01:25:11
Steve-O
a
01:25:12
billfrankenstein
You got to go outside, man.
01:25:12
silkdong
My bad.
01:25:13
billfrankenstein
I don't know what to tell you.
01:25:14
Steve-O
you You work here, right? No, I'm just one of the other customers. I'm just... There was no one ringing anyone up and I just thought I would take charge.
01:25:20
billfrankenstein
I know.
01:25:28
billfrankenstein
Oh, what a world. ah
01:25:29
silkdong
But yeah, news.
01:25:30
billfrankenstein
Ah, news, news, news.
01:25:31
Steve-O
NUDE!
01:25:32
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:25:32
silkdong
GTA 6 was delayed.
01:25:35
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:25:35
Steve-O
What the fuck?
01:25:36
billfrankenstein
Put you back down. Get it out of here.
01:25:37
Steve-O
God damn.
01:25:37
BeyBlade
yeah i'm looking I'm not going to lie. i
01:25:39
billfrankenstein
Not this year.
01:25:40
BeyBlade
ah First of all, I was like, how did it get delayed? I didn't think it had a release date. Then I realized that it had a May release date. And I was like, Oh, that's a gnarly delay.
01:25:51
BeyBlade
That's a really rough...
01:25:51
silkdong
Yeah.
01:25:52
BeyBlade
That's, what, six months?
01:25:53
silkdong
That's like Last of Us 2. That's Last Us 2 type shit.
01:25:54
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:25:56
silkdong
Because Last of Us 2 went from April to
01:25:56
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:25:59
silkdong
think April of the next year.
01:25:59
BeyBlade
You know what? That's an Arkham game delay where they're like, ah, sorry guys. We were off by like 10 months. And you're like, oh, okay.
01:26:10
Steve-O
You kind of just weren't even in the nowhere close to the ballpark, guys.
01:26:11
BeyBlade
but It's crazy that you had a release date and a trailer and...
01:26:16
billfrankenstein
they're not They're not even getting guys in cars right now in the game.
01:26:17
BeyBlade
Oof.
01:26:19
Steve-O
a heard a rumor that ah there was an Exodus firing.
01:26:20
billfrankenstein
Can't even put them in cars.
01:26:26
BeyBlade
Yeah. So, so that's the interesting part is um I don't know how union laws work in the UK, like at all, but the story, cause I posted a kind of a breakdown, some some person speaking out of turn allegedly, you know, ah however you want to view that.
01:26:45
BeyBlade
But um they said essentially, Oh, God, it's like impossible to read here. But essentially, it's um high level people were in like a discord. Well, I guess they had a discord for people in a union, but you have to have a certain amount of people in a union to be able to like do the bargaining thing.
01:27:10
BeyBlade
ah So they were in a discord where they're like discussing union stuff. And um Rockstar used that as an excuse because they said, oh, you're talking about company secrets in this thing, so you're all fired.
01:27:22
silkdong
a you
01:27:23
Steve-O
Whoa.
01:27:23
BeyBlade
So they're being accused of union busting, but also like these aren't just like the fucking rank and file.
01:27:23
Steve-O
woe
01:27:28
BeyBlade
like Some of these are like head of departments.
01:27:31
silkdong
Yeah, like directors.
01:27:32
BeyBlade
So they're saying the delay... Yeah, directors. So they're saying the delay is really more so because they're they were willing to just fucking nuke
01:27:38
silkdong
Leadership team, Devin, that's what they call it. The leadership team.
01:27:43
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:27:44
silkdong
The executive team.
01:27:44
BeyBlade
um Yeah. They were willing to just nuke everybody. They don't care. And they said, who cares if it adds six months? We probably need it anyway, right? But it's like...
01:27:58
BeyBlade
Ooh, yeah. Uh, these colleagues of mine were hard workers that have spent many, many years in rockstar critical roles. Colleagues who had been there for more than 18 years. None of them had ever had a disciplinary in any of that time.
01:28:11
Steve-O
These people who worked on Red
01:28:11
BeyBlade
Not easily replaced and will certainly affect us in making our project deadlines. Senior artists, animators, QA testers, designers, programmers, producers, including leads.
01:28:23
BeyBlade
Man. Um, Yeah, some of these members were sick, recovering surgery, paternity leave, fired without pay, and all that rough. Like, rock stars, savage, absolutely. Like, from a business perspective, like, absolutely gnarly.
01:28:38
BeyBlade
um Yeah, death they're saying, like, it's, I mean, obviously, this is a skewed perspective, if if it's true. But they're like, yeah, this is 100% savage. Union busting.
Entertainment and Gaming Critiques
01:28:49
BeyBlade
He said just one week before before they they said just one week before the union had reached 200 members, taking us over the 10 percent threshold required to seek recognition and begin engaging in collective bargaining.
01:29:02
BeyBlade
And then all of a sudden they fired like, you know, a bunch of people.
01:29:05
silkdong
Damn. To get it under.
01:29:06
BeyBlade
ah ah yeah allowing us to negotiate directly with management key issues that affect us, worsening crunch, inadequate pay, and flexible working arrangements.
01:29:12
billfrankenstein
Orson Crunch.
01:29:14
BeyBlade
They fired over 24 of us at this point. There's nothing stopping them from doing this whenever they want. blah blah bla blah blah um Yeah, man.
01:29:25
billfrankenstein
Union Busters.
01:29:27
BeyBlade
That is that is ah pretty... nar And again, I don't know how that stuff works in the UK, but... but Apparently, you know, you fire a bunch of people and they're like, well, we'll just push it. We'll just push it out.
01:29:42
BeyBlade
well will
01:29:42
silkdong
People will buy it anyway, man.
01:29:44
BeyBlade
People are going to buy it.
01:29:44
silkdong
It's fine.
01:29:45
BeyBlade
And then somebody did like a crazy breakdown. They're like, oh, yeah, they they just lost them. Lost. But they're like, they're spending like $6.7 billion dollars like in just delays.
01:29:56
silkdong
Just to delay it.
01:29:57
BeyBlade
Yeah, like $17 million dollars a day or something like that.
01:30:00
silkdong
Damn.
01:30:01
BeyBlade
And they're like, yeah, like and they can do it because fuck it.
01:30:04
silkdong
You know what? They can do because they'll make it all back by making them $80 million dollars a day in GTA bucks, GTA Online.
01:30:12
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:30:12
silkdong
Free money.
01:30:15
silkdong
But yikes.
01:30:16
billfrankenstein
$17 million a day. that right?
01:30:19
silkdong
Million.
01:30:19
billfrankenstein
You should read that right. Yeah. That seems like a lie.
01:30:22
BeyBlade
Yeah. Something crazy. you know and yeah I'm not going to pretend like the math makes sense or how those numbers go out. I'm reading on Twitter. um
01:30:30
billfrankenstein
That's crazy.
01:30:32
BeyBlade
But fucking gnarly, right? like Absolutely not nutty stuff.
01:30:36
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:30:37
BeyBlade
And yeah, so that's gross, right?
01:30:41
billfrankenstein
Yeah.
01:30:41
silkdong
It's pretty gross, yeah.
01:30:44
BeyBlade
You know what's even more gross? Hideo Kojima saw Predator Badlands and he loved it.
01:30:49
billfrankenstein
Well, you know what?
01:30:50
BeyBlade
That's pretty gross.
01:30:50
silkdong
disgusting well maybe monster maybe monster energy drink paid him to like it because they have an endorsement deal with predator who knows
01:30:50
billfrankenstein
He he had ah he had a bad back. Alright?
01:30:53
BeyBlade
Yeah, Badlands.
01:30:53
Steve-O
about dark.
01:30:54
billfrankenstein
He had a a bad back.
01:30:56
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:30:59
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:31:00
billfrankenstein
Oh, and and garage beer.
01:31:04
BeyBlade
You know, I still haven't seen that, but...
01:31:06
billfrankenstein
The Jason Kelsey commercial?
01:31:08
BeyBlade
I saw that, but I did see the one where the Predators crushing beers or whatever it was.
01:31:11
billfrankenstein
Well, it's Jason Kelsey that he's crashing beers with.
01:31:13
BeyBlade
Damn.
01:31:15
billfrankenstein
I just couldn't find that one. I thought that was it.
01:31:16
BeyBlade
don't know what you're going to do. You know what's pretty sick, though? ah Warhammer Survivors. That's pretty sick. For me, guys.
01:31:27
silkdong
Yeah, it's cool.
01:31:27
Steve-O
What is what does this?
01:31:27
BeyBlade
I know.
01:31:28
Steve-O
Explain.
01:31:29
billfrankenstein
Is that what you call you guys yourselves now?
01:31:30
silkdong
Damn, weren't we just talking about how I went on a i went on a legendary run of playing Kino games?
01:31:32
billfrankenstein
Warhammer survivors?
01:31:37
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:31:37
silkdong
and You're talking about Dynasty Wars. It's not Dynasty Wars, it's Vampire Survivors.
01:31:41
BeyBlade
No, no. This is the survival.
01:31:42
silkdong
Never mind, this is Kino.
01:31:42
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:31:43
silkdong
It's Kino. It's Kino.
01:31:44
BeyBlade
I was about to say, you you dirty dick.
01:31:46
silkdong
I i ah retracted it.
01:31:47
billfrankenstein
Oh!
01:31:47
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:31:48
billfrankenstein
Survivors!
01:31:49
silkdong
Yeah, I retracted it.
01:31:49
BeyBlade
What did you guys think?
01:31:50
billfrankenstein
Oh!
01:31:50
BeyBlade
i Did I say something different?
01:31:51
Steve-O
alone
01:31:51
billfrankenstein
Seven!
01:31:52
silkdong
No, I'm just thinking i'm thinking about how fucking shitty Hyrule Warriors is.
01:31:52
billfrankenstein
Well, no, the... You said Warhammer survivors and I i couldn't... It sounded like a support group.
01:31:59
BeyBlade
Maybe we thought, Warhammer, like warriors maybe, or maybe that's where, trying to get them trying to figure out the word association.
01:32:03
billfrankenstein
Interesting.
01:32:05
Steve-O
No, you said the right thing, Devin.
01:32:05
billfrankenstein
This is...
01:32:05
silkdong
and
01:32:07
billfrankenstein
You did.
01:32:07
Steve-O
Don't you worry.
01:32:07
BeyBlade
Okay.
01:32:07
billfrankenstein
It's just I didn't... I couldn't figure out the context..........
01:32:10
BeyBlade
So the.
01:32:10
silkdong
Devin, usually when you start, when you say the word Warhammer, and Chris just mentally clock out.
01:32:15
BeyBlade
just blood over Yeah, I get it.
01:32:16
silkdong
We mentally clock out of the office and we're just, we quiet, we quiet quit the conversation at that point.
01:32:18
BeyBlade
I understand that. I respect it.
01:32:21
Steve-O
You quite acquitted?
01:32:22
silkdong
We quiet quit the conversation with Devin, yeah.
01:32:23
BeyBlade
Yeah. um So the only thing it uses, the official vampire survivors engine using the vampire ponticles, ponticle,
01:32:29
billfrankenstein
Yeah,
01:32:36
silkdong
Yeah, those guys are getting paid by Games Workshop, dog.
01:32:37
Steve-O
you Big money, big money.
01:32:38
BeyBlade
Yeah. um And listen, this is just, this just looks like a straight up fucking reskin and I don't care. i will play as, as per my contract, as per my contract.
01:32:46
silkdong
You don't care because it's going to have the names that you want to see.
01:32:50
BeyBlade
Yeah. I will have to play this.
01:32:52
billfrankenstein
yeah when's Boltgun 2 coming out, man? That's my jam.
01:32:55
BeyBlade
Um, actually.
01:32:55
billfrankenstein
that's my jam
01:32:56
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:32:56
silkdong
it's not But it's not a DLC for Vampire Survivors. It's its own thing.
01:32:59
BeyBlade
No, no. Yeah. It's going to be, it's okay.
01:33:01
billfrankenstein
Remember, didn't you post the trailer for that recently?
01:33:01
BeyBlade
That's going to have its own. Bulkham.
01:33:05
billfrankenstein
Bullgun 2. It's like a female, right?
01:33:06
BeyBlade
Yeah. Oh, yeah, because because I guess, like, one of the characters is a Sisters Battle.
01:33:09
billfrankenstein
Whatever.
01:33:12
billfrankenstein
A lady? Yeah, Sister Battle. There you go.
01:33:15
BeyBlade
Yeah, dude.
01:33:16
billfrankenstein
I'm ready for that.
01:33:17
BeyBlade
Also, yeah, man, ah you guys should...
01:33:17
billfrankenstein
I love it.
01:33:19
BeyBlade
Like, this is weird, because almost part of me It's funny, because now I'm, like, self-conscious, because I don't want to give Jon less-than-God-tier game recommendation anymore.
01:33:30
BeyBlade
Because I'm like, oh, man, this would break the streak. Like, Bokan's awesome.
01:33:35
billfrankenstein
Yeah.
01:33:35
silkdong
Wait, so this so should I not play Dispatch next? Should I play Dark Souls Steve was like, oh, you need to take a break from Zilzang when we play Exponition 3.
01:33:38
BeyBlade
No, no, you should play this you should play Dispatch next.
01:33:39
billfrankenstein
Dark Souls 3.
01:33:41
Steve-O
It is, John, I will admit, it is scary after you play a God game. To be like, oh, that's the game that I recommended. Oh, no!
01:33:48
BeyBlade
Yeah, because you know what happened? just
01:33:52
Steve-O
yeah I was like, or do something else.
01:33:53
BeyBlade
yeah Yeah. You know why? Because this is how you get a Horizon situation where you still, you're still you know, I still hear about it today.
01:33:58
billfrankenstein
up
01:33:59
silkdong
Yeah, no, no, that's... And then...
01:34:03
Steve-O
but
01:34:04
BeyBlade
Yeah. So, you know.
01:34:05
silkdong
Yeah. Yeah, that's true.
01:34:08
Steve-O
but
01:34:08
BeyBlade
to So it's like, okay, let's plan this out.
01:34:10
silkdong
i don't know, man.
01:34:12
BeyBlade
But dispatch, you know, is a
01:34:13
silkdong
I mean, this match could be just, you know, the side chick, and then I'll pick a main game to play next.
01:34:17
BeyBlade
a... Dispatch is a wonderful side check.
01:34:20
silkdong
Okay.
01:34:21
billfrankenstein
Yeah, Boltgun is good.
01:34:21
BeyBlade
You know?
01:34:22
silkdong
Side piece.
01:34:23
billfrankenstein
It's a boomer shooter. Like, it's not...
01:34:24
BeyBlade
Yeah, it's a really cool boomer shooter, yeah.
01:34:26
billfrankenstein
Yeah, it just really works really well and it makes sense. It makes sense to have like a Doom type of perspective in a Warhammer game, I think.
01:34:35
BeyBlade
Yeah. No, yeah. Yeah, it fucking... Yeah, Bullgun Rules... um i I think I bought the DLC, but I still haven't touched it.
01:34:43
billfrankenstein
Oh yeah, that's right.
01:34:43
BeyBlade
think it's...
01:34:44
billfrankenstein
I'm going to get that on Steam.
01:34:45
silkdong
on sale? There's no sales on Steam right now? Steve, what the fuck? Where's the sales, Steve?
01:34:51
Steve-O
I think there will be a Black Friday sale coming in the month.
01:34:56
silkdong
Oh, true, What's on my wish list?
01:34:56
BeyBlade
Oh, yeah. That's right. yeah Yeah, what am I... Anyway... um
01:35:04
BeyBlade
What the Oh.
01:35:04
silkdong
should probably buy something on there.
01:35:06
BeyBlade
So I click something and start playing, like, really, like, sad music. And, like, in my three different monitors and my 45 different ah tabs, I could not find it. and It was driving me crazy.
01:35:17
billfrankenstein
you You open up the link about Brendan Fraser and Rochelle Weiss. Weiss will return for the new The Mummy movie.
01:35:23
BeyBlade

01:37:06
Steve-O

01:37:07
silkdong
I should be, but I'm not... I'm really not excited for Metroid Prime 4.
01:37:10
billfrankenstein

billfrankenstein
Write you down for eager.
01:37:30
billfrankenstein
All right. John, indifferent.
01:37:30
Steve-O
Cautiously optimistic. Pokemon really fucking burned me. I feel like the Switch 2, aside from Donkey Kong, has been burning me.
01:37:38
billfrankenstein
All right.
01:37:39
silkdong
Yeah, I already played Donkey Kong.
01:37:39
billfrankenstein

silkdong
Yeah.
01:37:46
billfrankenstein
right. Devin, apathetic.
01:37:48
BeyBlade
Okay.
01:37:50
BeyBlade
Yeah, I mean, I'm definitely not going
01:37:51
silkdong
I'd rather play the new Metroid, which is Hollow Knight Silksong, than this.
01:37:55
Steve-O
Chris Galanti 2018 would have been so stoked for this.
01:38:02
billfrankenstein
He's, yep.
01:38:02
silkdong
Let me put the trailer on see. There was new trailer, right?
01:38:04

01:38:07
Steve-O
We were like, yeah.
01:38:07
BeyBlade

01:38:11
Steve-O
yeah
01:38:13
Steve-O
It looks exciting. It's it's it's cut excitingly.
01:38:17
billfrankenstein
I, I, honestly, it's been your reaction to every other Switch game, man.
01:38:17
BeyBlade
Somebody got the memo.
01:38:19
silkdong
Did they use AI in this game?
01:38:20
billfrankenstein
It's been like, babe.
01:38:22
BeyBlade
I mean, probably, right? That's me. Well, apparently that's that's fucked up enough that everybody would be like, no, I'm not goingnna play that game. So I don't want to say that. don't want to say that unless it's true.
01:38:33
billfrankenstein
Humans made this.
01:38:34
Steve-O
Yo, that's what Vinny Gild said.
01:38:34
silkdong
Man, that motor that motorcycle that that that motorcycl is fucking sick, though.
01:38:37
billfrankenstein

01:38:39
silkdong
I'm not going to lie.
01:38:41
billfrankenstein
It's got a motorcycle.
01:38:42
Steve-O
going to get that. Yeah, Samus. Samus riding a motorcycle.
01:38:45
silkdong
Yeah, there's a name for it. There's a name for it.

billfrankenstein
Oh! That's cute.
01:39:09
silkdong
Yeah.
01:39:11
Steve-O
You don't like the Whippy Zippy though?
01:39:12
silkdong
Oh, because it's... ah Because her suit her suit is called the Viola suit.
01:39:15
billfrankenstein
Whippy Zippy?

BeyBlade
Oh.

01:41:10
BeyBlade
That's disgusting. Yeah, that's gross.
01:41:12
billfrankenstein
you think Eddington would have been slightly better if Kirby was in the role of Joaquin Phoenix?
01:41:16
Steve-O
ah Well, would King Dedede be fucking the mayor?
01:41:16
silkdong
Yes.
01:41:20
billfrankenstein
Yes.
01:41:21
Steve-O
It's like Pedro Pascal.
01:41:21
billfrankenstein
He would. Pedro Pascal.
01:41:26
BeyBlade
I'm just waiting for my points to roll in, dude. And that's where I'm at.
01:41:30
Steve-O
I swear to God, if, if was that Mina the Hollower, if that game fucks you and you lose,
01:41:37
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:41:41
BeyBlade
That might, that might be why I lose. Yeah.
01:41:44
billfrankenstein
this is the most points in any draft, correct?
01:41:46
BeyBlade
Yeah. Yeah. This is the best year we've ever had.
01:41:49
billfrankenstein
Mm-hmm.
01:41:49
Steve-O
rain wins.
01:41:52
billfrankenstein
So it's either you or Rain. You would be a triple. This would be your third win.
01:41:55
BeyBlade
This would be my three-peat.
01:41:56
billfrankenstein
You would be Kansas City Chiefs.
01:41:57
Steve-O
This is a hat trick.
01:41:58
BeyBlade
and yeah And I'll be honest.
01:41:59
silkdong
And he's the Eagles. Reign is the Eagles.
01:42:00
BeyBlade
I'll be honest. If I go three-peat, I literally won't sweat winning ever again because I'll always just be able to be like, oh, I three-peat it.
01:42:01
billfrankenstein
Rain's Eagles. Oh.
01:42:08
BeyBlade
Like, who cares if I lose a fourth year, or you know?
01:42:11
silkdong
It's just also, it's just it's just a bad look too, just because you run the league. You're the manager.
01:42:15
billfrankenstein
Yeah, it is a bad look.
01:42:16
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:42:16
silkdong
you no, if you 3P, yeah, it Yeah, it is.
01:42:17
billfrankenstein
It's like Roger Goodell winning the Super Bowl.
01:42:17
BeyBlade
No. No, it's not.
01:42:19
Steve-O
It's a real bad look.
01:42:20
BeyBlade
No, no, no. It's a good thing if I three-peat because it's me.
01:42:21
Steve-O
It's a real bad look.
01:42:25
silkdong
but I don't know.
01:42:25
Steve-O
No, it's a real bad look.
01:42:25
BeyBlade
I need to repeat. No, no, no, no, no.
01:42:27
billfrankenstein
Yeah, you look bad.
01:42:27
silkdong
I don't know, man.
01:42:28
billfrankenstein
You would look bad.
01:42:28
silkdong
i don't know, man. and
01:42:29
billfrankenstein
would be another reason I would never, ever join.
01:42:31
BeyBlade
So no, because I got a scratch and claw for my points, you know?
01:42:35
billfrankenstein
I don't think you're doing a lot of scratching and clawing.
01:42:37
BeyBlade
I don't just use my insider information.
01:42:39
billfrankenstein
I think the refs are giving you a lot of good calls.
01:42:41
Steve-O
Devin...
01:42:41
BeyBlade
i don't i don't get gifted 40 extra points because Steve makes a bad decision.
01:42:47
Steve-O
that is That is fair.
01:42:47
BeyBlade
You know?
01:42:48
Steve-O
That is fair. That is fair.
01:42:51
BeyBlade
Just saying.
01:42:52
Steve-O
You didn't even know it was 11-9, Devin.
01:42:54
BeyBlade
You know what? Six, seven.
01:42:55
billfrankenstein
Yeah, I never remember.
01:42:56
BeyBlade
Does that count? for that
01:42:58
Steve-O
Fuck you, Devin. We're all over it.
01:43:00
silkdong
Is Mina the Hollower still coming out this year, Devin?
01:43:05
BeyBlade
So, um, maybe.
01:43:07
Steve-O
It's not.
01:43:07
silkdong
Ah, dog, yo, that's it.
01:43:07
Steve-O
No, Devin. Devin, you're playing the hope and you know you need you need to play for the pocketbook.
01:43:10
silkdong
You're done.
01:43:12
BeyBlade
Okay, okay, okay. hold Hold on, hold on. So this is what happened. This is what happened. Meena the Hollower was supposed to come out on Halloween Day. And then like two weeks before, they said, guys, we're delayed. They said a really slight delay.
01:43:29
BeyBlade
Doesn't imply that it's going to be 2026.
01:43:31
Steve-O
that slight delay is gonna fuck you
01:43:32
BeyBlade
They just had a real small delay. and they said, we're just doing it to get parody across, k you know, across systems or whatever.
01:43:38
billfrankenstein
Got to get that parody, Devin.
01:43:40
BeyBlade
So my, and again, if they said 2026, I'd be fine. Boom. Let's get rid of it. I'll, I'll, I'll take Todd for whatever, right. Battlefield, but whatever I could have did at the time.
01:43:53
Steve-O
you can't even do anything now
01:43:55
BeyBlade
Because we know the hollow is points, dude. That's like 15, 17 points.
01:44:01
Steve-O
You can't even pick up Inazuma 11 victory road. That comes out next week.
01:44:07
BeyBlade
I know my poor life is going to be over.
01:44:12
Steve-O
The kingdom of dump the dump.
01:44:12
BeyBlade
Um,
01:44:14
billfrankenstein
The kingdom of the dump?
01:44:15
BeyBlade
let's talk about some fun things.
01:44:17
billfrankenstein
Like people taking dumps?
01:44:17
BeyBlade
Can, can we talk about that new Muppet movie that got, uh, kind of pseudo announced?
01:44:19
Steve-O
Maybe.
01:44:22
Steve-O
No, what's this?
01:44:22
billfrankenstein
So Devin, you're a bit of a Muppet guy, aren't you?
01:44:24
BeyBlade
So, uh, Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone are apparently producing. writing i don't know what exactly they their involvement is. i think they're producing.
01:44:36
billfrankenstein
Cole Escola is writing it.
01:44:37
BeyBlade
Muppet movie about Miss Piggy where she gets canceled, which is actually wonderful. um Because Miss Piggy, I've always, I've hated Miss Piggy forever.
01:44:50
billfrankenstein
You hit don't like Miss Piggy?
01:44:52
BeyBlade
Because I'm like, she's so mean to Kermit.
01:44:55
billfrankenstein
It's kind of their thing, though.
01:44:56
BeyBlade
It's kind of like how I hated the mom and Malcolm in the middle and how I
01:44:59
billfrankenstein
Oh.
Halo Infinite and Xbox Challenges
01:45:01
BeyBlade
really had issues with every adult in and Coco because they're always so mean.
01:45:08
BeyBlade
They're severe. They're severe individuals, you know? um So, and Miss Piggy, I think, was like the first version of that because I was like, man, why she why does she not get her comeuppance because she acts like a villain?
01:45:24
BeyBlade
So a movie about Miss Piggy, maybe she'll end up on some sort of planet, alien planet, and she befriends a cyborg or a synthetic and maybe a little gorilla alien and they go on adventures, you know.
01:45:40
billfrankenstein
Gorilla Alien?
01:45:42
BeyBlade
Yeah, maybe. Maybe. And we'll call it Miss Piggy Badlands. I think maybe.
01:45:46
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:45:49
billfrankenstein
See what you did there.
01:45:49
BeyBlade
Maybe that's a direction we can go into.
01:45:50
billfrankenstein
Yeah, I don't want to watch that again. I'm not putting myself through it.
01:45:52
BeyBlade
yeah you're saying You're saying hard no. I get it. ah Yeah, we talked about the Rockstar GTA 6 delay. It was pretty brutal. I don't know why I just posted this.
01:46:05
BeyBlade
I guess I just felt like beating the dead horse. But Halo Infinite ah is ending active development um on the 18th of November.
01:46:15
billfrankenstein
I'm pissed. Okay.
01:46:16
BeyBlade

01:46:41
Steve-O

01:47:05
billfrankenstein
What the hell?
01:47:05
silkdong

01:47:06
Steve-O
What's that, 2D no fate?
01:47:09
BeyBlade
Yeah, 2D. Remember when they blamed it on that? They said, oh, it's because Silk Song came out. and then And then it's been delayed like two other times.
01:47:19
silkdong
um always How much is it?
01:47:20
Steve-O
I think it just might be possibly ah maybe a bad game.
01:47:22
silkdong
Oh no, it's only $7. Oh wait, there's an actually there's no price.
01:47:24
BeyBlade
think it's a rights thing. think something's funky.
01:47:27
billfrankenstein
They keep changing the stories. They want more, more different storylines, things that could happen.
01:47:33
silkdong
There's no price for it. Maybe they're trying to decide how much it's going to be.
01:47:34
billfrankenstein
Like Sarah Connor. eats John Connor in front of the Terminator.
01:47:38
silkdong
Because...
01:47:38
Steve-O
Whoa. You can't do that in front of the Terminator.
01:47:40
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:47:42
billfrankenstein
it would be hilarious.
01:47:43
Steve-O
He has to protect him.
01:47:44
BeyBlade
for
01:47:45
billfrankenstein
No, mean, he'll be eating parts of him as she's running away.
01:47:46
BeyBlade
Well, yeah.
01:47:49
Steve-O
Are you...
01:47:49
BeyBlade
Well, listen back. What?
01:47:50
Steve-O
Are you going replace Hollow Knight? Or, uh, I'm sorry, Mina the Hollower with Terminator 2D No Fate?
01:47:55
BeyBlade
No, because that's a... Dude, Terrier 2's already been delayed too many times.
01:47:57
silkdong
Oh, Terminator 2D, no fate's $30? Yeah, that's not going to fly.
01:48:01
BeyBlade
really
01:48:03
billfrankenstein
What the fuck?
01:48:03
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:48:04
BeyBlade
i How gross.
01:48:04
silkdong
They need I was willing to guarantee there's more than three people on that development team, too.
01:48:06
Steve-O
That's going to go over, like,
01:48:13
silkdong
Just saying.
01:48:15
BeyBlade
This isn't news, but it's just something i read. Apparently, Take-Two, were just talking about pricing.
Game Delays and Pricing Issues
01:48:20
BeyBlade
Take-Two apparently confirmed that the mafia the new Mafia game being $50 paid off big for them.
01:48:28
silkdong
Ooh, so GTA 6, $50?
01:48:30
BeyBlade
I think GTA 6 confirmed $50. Yeah, yeah.
01:48:32
Steve-O
Whoa.
01:48:33
silkdong
Dude, I'm just saying, man. Nintendo would look like huge assholes if they did that.
01:48:38
Steve-O
said
01:48:40
BeyBlade
yeah yeah
01:48:40
silkdong
They can make Nintendo look real bad.
01:48:42
BeyBlade
and um
01:48:43
silkdong
And then release Red Dead 2 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition for $60. They'll do the same thing.
01:48:48
BeyBlade
Speaking of games, now I'm concerned if they're ever even going to come out. Apparently Marvel 1943 Rise of Hydra delayed into beyond early 2026.
01:49:03
silkdong
You know Trump administration canceled that game because it's woke.
01:49:04
BeyBlade
beyond early twenty twenty six
01:49:08
BeyBlade
yeah
01:49:09
silkdong
Because Black Panther's in it.
01:49:09
BeyBlade
I think i yeah
01:49:09
Steve-O
Is that why it was the woke one?
01:49:11
billfrankenstein
Yep, he vetoed it
01:49:13
Steve-O
God fucking damn it, dude.
01:49:13
billfrankenstein
They were vetoed down.
01:49:14
BeyBlade
I could have swore, though, that like I heard something where they're like like the the game coming out is now a concern.
01:49:15
Steve-O
Hey.
01:49:22
BeyBlade
You know? Because everybody's...
01:49:22
Steve-O
it
01:49:22
silkdong
I mean, look at the look at the success of Assassin's Creed.
01:49:26
Steve-O
It was a little suspicious that their announcement of the delay came out the same day as Grand Theft Auto 6.
01:49:26
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:49:32
silkdong
Go woke, go broke, Steve. Steve, go woke, go broke. Just saying.
01:49:36
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:49:37
Steve-O
You know what?
01:49:38
BeyBlade
Well, you know, that's when you're going to do it. I guess.
01:49:41
billfrankenstein
And there's going to be 15 more Days Gone games.
01:49:41
BeyBlade
delay Yeah, we told you.
01:49:45
silkdong
Oh, hell yeah, baby.
01:49:45
Steve-O
How many of those we need?
01:49:46
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:49:46
Steve-O
How many we need?
01:49:47
billfrankenstein
At least 15. That's what the Trump administration wants. It's a guy on a motorcycle.
01:49:50
Steve-O
I love Dave Gron.
01:49:51
billfrankenstein
He's
01:49:53
Steve-O
It's cool, Mike, boy. This
01:49:55
billfrankenstein
his bike most of the time. He's getting away in the zombies.
01:49:58
Steve-O
is a perfect Trump impression.
01:50:00
billfrankenstein
I can't. we We're nailing it.
01:50:01
BeyBlade
I love good days. Yeah.
01:50:02
Steve-O
but
01:50:03
billfrankenstein
That's more like it.
01:50:11
billfrankenstein
Anyway.
01:50:11
Steve-O
But there.
01:50:13
BeyBlade
Yeah, so, I man, all these games get delayed.
01:50:15
silkdong
Oh, man.
01:50:16
Steve-O
Devin, can I make ah an offer to you?
01:50:19
billfrankenstein
Devil's bargain.
01:50:20
BeyBlade
Yes, you can, but I'm going to say...
01:50:20
Steve-O
You get rid of Mina the Hollower and replace it with Let It Die Inferno.
01:50:24
BeyBlade
Okay.
01:50:27
Steve-O
Thoughts?
01:50:29
BeyBlade
No.
01:50:29
billfrankenstein
Devil's bargain.
01:50:30
BeyBlade
Let it die in... That's only going to net me, like, nine points, dude. If that's more than, like, a 79, I'd eat my You know what saying?
01:50:42
Steve-O
I need you to get some points, Devin.
01:50:42
silkdong
All right, trade me Mina the Hollower and your second round pick in next year's draft for Metroid Prime 4.
01:50:49
BeyBlade
For Metroid?
01:50:51
Steve-O
e
01:50:53
BeyBlade
Hold on. This is tough, guys.
01:50:57
silkdong
I mean, you could get the 3P and then you don't to worry about it anymore.
01:50:58
BeyBlade
Because I want to believe.
01:51:01
silkdong
So what what good is a second round pick going to be for you, you know?
01:51:06
BeyBlade
Second round pick.
01:51:06
Steve-O
You don't ever have to worry. Are you don't even need to run it next year because you've already won it all right.
01:51:13
silkdong
Yeah, Reign can run it.
01:51:13
BeyBlade
Yeah, I'll just cancel it. I'll just cancel it.
01:51:15
silkdong
Reign can run it next year. But yeah, Devin, you could take your ball and go home and be like, alright, Reign, you fucking run the league next year.
01:51:18
BeyBlade
Man.
01:51:23
silkdong
See ya. I'm not doing it.
01:51:24
BeyBlade
Yeah, i don't want to hear about it. I want to fucking hear about it. Well, you know what? and
01:51:29
silkdong
I mean, they're gonna call collusion, but I mean, we're a toxic.
01:51:29
BeyBlade
Man.
01:51:30
Steve-O
know
01:51:32
silkdong
We're toxic, right? Kinda.
01:51:34
Steve-O
I mean, like, come on.
01:51:34
silkdong
I mean, Sten was just giving money out like he was fucking Joe Biden.
01:51:34
billfrankenstein
Yeah.
01:51:34
Steve-O
they
01:51:37
Steve-O
He was handing out handjobs.
01:51:38
BeyBlade
I know.
01:51:39
silkdong
Like he was fucking Joe Biden.
01:51:40
BeyBlade
First round pick. it's so Second round pick.
01:51:45
BeyBlade
I'll take that action.
01:51:47
silkdong
Oh, shit.
01:51:47
Steve-O
Wow. Put it up. Put it up right now.
01:51:48
BeyBlade
I'll take that action.
01:51:49
Steve-O
want to see it right now.
01:51:50
silkdong
Put it up.
01:51:50
BeyBlade
Take that action, dude.
01:51:51
silkdong
So just to get it straight, you don't have a second round pick next year. I pick when it's your turn and that team goes to me. yeah yeah We'll have to work out the details after the draft.
01:52:00
BeyBlade
Yeah, yeah, we'll work out the details. but
01:52:04
silkdong
Oh, shit.
01:52:04
BeyBlade
Yeah, yeah. You'll have to, like, text me or whatever.
01:52:07
Steve-O
Dude, what Peter the Hollower comes out as fucking 100?
01:52:07
BeyBlade
what
01:52:11
billfrankenstein
Oh.
01:52:11
silkdong
Yeah, that would suck. Yeah, I measure probably the 78.
01:52:12
BeyBlade
Dude, I'll be honest. That's what fucking frightened, dude. i
01:52:18
silkdong
Dude, Metroid Prime's not going to be a 78, dude.
01:52:19
BeyBlade
I know.
01:52:20
silkdong
It's going to be at least 79.
01:52:21
BeyBlade
No, it's not.
01:52:23
silkdong
It
01:52:26
BeyBlade
right It just looks so bad. it doesn't look bad. It just...
01:52:31
silkdong
looks mid.
01:52:33
BeyBlade
But Holla... Mina Holla has fucked me for like two years straight, though.
01:52:40
silkdong
Did anyone pick Hollow Knight Silksong last year?
01:52:44
Steve-O
I'm sure someone did.
01:52:44
BeyBlade
think I think did.
01:52:45
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:52:46
BeyBlade
and I think I, yeah, this is the, Hollow Knight burned me, but I finally got my, my recompense. But, uh, yeah, man, it's tough.
01:52:58
BeyBlade
It hurts. It hurts. I don't want to be that guy.
01:53:02
Steve-O
um be that guy, pal.
01:53:03
BeyBlade
like just, I just want to win by my own abilities, but you know,
01:53:09
silkdong
Oh yes, Hyrule Warriors got me a 79.
01:53:11
billfrankenstein
You're doing the Chiefs now. You're really the Chiefs now.
01:53:13
BeyBlade
and Blue no matter who, you know? That's how i feel right now.
01:53:17
silkdong
Chris, he's the Chiefs trading for Tyreek Hill back and then they don't know if he's gonna tear all of his ligaments in his knee and and dislocate his knee.
01:53:30
billfrankenstein
He's back from injury, but, you know, some guys get better sometimes.
01:53:34
silkdong
Yeah.
01:53:35
BeyBlade
Oh, ah you know what? Speaking of JRPG lights, I think Chris can back me up on this, but I think you guys would you i think you guys would enjoy a little game called Sea of Stars.
01:53:41
billfrankenstein
Yeah, what's up?
01:53:43
silkdong
I think Final Fantasy VI is a pretty good game. Have you guys played it?
01:53:47
billfrankenstein
Oh, yeah, that game rules.
01:53:49
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:53:49
silkdong
Dude, I have so much fucking turn-based RPG fatigue right now, I can't even think about.
01:53:53
BeyBlade
flip ah
01:53:55
silkdong
can't even fucking think about it, dude.
01:53:56
Steve-O
He ain't playing an RPG.
01:53:57
BeyBlade
There's parries. Parries and everything, dude. It's fun.
01:54:00
silkdong
Clarepskirt is a beefy game.
01:54:00
Steve-O
par you say Okay.
01:54:01
silkdong
it is a beefy game.
01:54:02
BeyBlade
Or maybe there's not parades, but I think one of the attacks, you know. it's It's very um Super Mario RPG coded. And Chrono Trader coded.
01:54:10
Steve-O
and I'm in. I'm listening.
01:54:11
billfrankenstein
There's a hell a character in it, too.
01:54:11
BeyBlade
I'm telling you, man.
01:54:12
billfrankenstein
Hell
01:54:13
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:54:13
billfrankenstein
Hell of a help
01:54:16
BeyBlade
He was my character of the year, dude.
01:54:17
silkdong
Uh, Steve, do you think that, do you think if Claire Obscure's story wasn't so good that people would be talking about it the same way? Like, if it was just the combat system and everything?
01:54:27
Steve-O
um
01:54:27
silkdong
Or do you think, do you think it really, because I think it kind of carries the the glaze of the game.
01:54:31
BeyBlade
um like I don't think anyone would talk about this game the story wasn't like exceptional.
01:54:34
Steve-O
I think...
01:54:40
silkdong
And the music is really good.
01:54:41
Steve-O
know.
01:54:41
silkdong
Like, if the music was mid, I don't think it would have, like, people would still glaze the game as much as the,
01:54:45
Steve-O
I mean, I think there might be talk about the visuals.
01:54:47
silkdong
they did too Yeah.
01:54:49
Steve-O
I don't think people would be talking about it being like a game of the year thing. I think the thing is, it is perfect storm of a lot of things hitting. And it's also the fact that it is $50.
01:54:58
silkdong
And everything about the aura.
01:54:59
Steve-O
fifty dollars
01:55:00
silkdong
Has aura. Yeah, has aura too. It's got indie aura.
01:55:02
Steve-O
Because like the entire time I was playing the game, i was like, this fucking $50.
01:55:05
silkdong
Yeah.
01:55:06
Steve-O
Because I remember spending $50 back in the day and playing like the Batman Begins game on the PlayStation 2. two
01:55:12
silkdong
Yeah.
01:55:13
Steve-O
And I was like, this game sucks. Now you spend $50 and you get like a possible game of the year. You spend $19, you get a possible game of the year. And then you see games coming out that are full-priced, like MindEye, and it fucking sucks. Yeah.
01:55:28
silkdong
Yeah. Yeah.
01:55:31
Steve-O
would it Would it be a game of the year contender if the story wasn't hitting? Probably not. I think it would probably be in the same talk as like a Paper Mario game. Like be like, oh, that was fun.
01:55:41
BeyBlade
Yeah, I think people are like, oh, this is a nice standout.
01:55:42
silkdong
Be a good sit. That's a good sit.
01:55:44
Steve-O
Yeah, yeah.
01:55:45
silkdong
Yeah, it's a good sit.
01:55:46
BeyBlade
Yeah, I definitely don't think... I mean, to be honest, I think that intro does a lot of heavy lifting.
01:55:50
silkdong
Devin, where do you stand on the game right now? Do you think it do you think it's a Mary right now for you?
01:55:56
silkdong
Like, where you are in the game
01:56:04
BeyBlade
I don't know. I don't know if I'm saying Mary at this point. Because...
01:56:09
Steve-O
I'm full on Mary, but then again, you know i've I've been stated by this game for...
01:56:13
BeyBlade
Because, again, I have ah i have a
01:56:14
silkdong
I'm there. I was sitting at a Mary before 3, so it'll it you know ah dipped below Mary right now, but they could they have a chance they have a chance to swing it back over, I think.
01:56:23
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:56:26
BeyBlade
It might just be like a narrative decision that, like, the game can't help, right? That's just how I take the narrative. You know? So I don't even know if I can blame the game for it.
01:56:36
silkdong
Yeah, is the ending gonna be really... Like, Steve, is the ending really good?
01:56:37
BeyBlade
It's just like...
01:56:39
silkdong
Okay.
01:56:39
Steve-O
Yeah, I thought the ending...
01:56:40
silkdong
Okay. Okay.
01:56:41
BeyBlade
ah All right.
01:56:42
Steve-O
I thought thought i thought the ending...
01:56:42
silkdong
Alright, alright.
01:56:42
BeyBlade
All
01:56:43
silkdong
I'm locked in! <unk>s my zin Where's my cinnamon zin, Chris?
01:56:45
Steve-O
Again...
01:56:48
silkdong
but Break it out.
01:56:48
Steve-O
ah Again, I think the game poses has a lot of discussion to it, and I think that's kind of why I like it so much, too.
01:56:50
silkdong
ah Give me five of them.
01:56:55
silkdong
We get that fucking cinnamon zin. Yeah.
01:56:58
Steve-O
Zinnemun.
01:56:59
billfrankenstein
Cinnamons in.
01:57:00
Steve-O
Get that coffee-flavored Zinn.
01:57:01
billfrankenstein
Cinnamons in.
01:57:02
silkdong
yeah
01:57:04
BeyBlade
right. All right. Yeah, because, you know, I can't get into it right now. But, but, but, but. It's definitely, mean, it's a better story than Ghost of Yote, right?
01:57:17
BeyBlade
Like, I can confirm that.
01:57:18
silkdong
It is? Okay.
01:57:20
BeyBlade
Yeah, yeah.
01:57:21
silkdong
Oh, yeah, yeah, you were saying that Ghost of Yote kind of took a little backseat to the first story still. Like, it's still not as good as the first one.
01:57:28
BeyBlade
Yeah, like, i I, exactly, I think so.
01:57:31
silkdong
Okay.
01:57:33
BeyBlade
kind of one note. It's a good note, but it's one note.
01:57:36
BeyBlade
It goes to the Yote.
01:57:36
silkdong
Right.
01:57:39
silkdong
Yeah, the fucking...
01:57:39
BeyBlade
It's like the Frank Castle of...
01:57:40
silkdong
Steve, the Hyrule Warriors thing really fucking grinds my gears, man. When they're trying to
01:57:44
Steve-O
I'm with you.
01:57:45
silkdong
um I know they gotta sell the game, but it's like, you know, when you find out in Tears of the Kingdom like what Zelda had to go through to get to that point, and it's just high it's just Dynasty Warriors.
01:57:47
Steve-O
I'm in full agreement with you.
01:57:55
Steve-O
and
01:58:00
silkdong
Like, come on, man.
01:58:00
Steve-O
Yeah. It's...
01:58:02
silkdong
Give us a fucking game, man. Or give us, like, DLC or something.
01:58:06
Steve-O
I'm not a fan of the fact that they did this twice.
01:58:06
silkdong
I don't know, dude.
01:58:11
silkdong
Yeah, like, it it feels like
01:58:11
Steve-O
Where they did it with the Breath of the Wild and this now.
01:58:14
BeyBlade
wait
01:58:14
silkdong
Yeah, Chris, Chris, imagine chris imagine the Mikkola story, the untold story of Mikkola from Elden Ring.
01:58:15
BeyBlade
Boy, boy, boy.
01:58:21
silkdong
And instead of getting Shadow of the Erdtree, they do Elden Ring Dynasty Warriors. that and that And that's how you find out.
01:58:28
billfrankenstein
You're just killing furniture. You're just killing furniture.
01:58:30
silkdong
that's how they feel that's how they That's how they fill in the gaps in elvevin Ring's grand
01:58:35
billfrankenstein
i
01:58:36
silkdong
grand narrative
01:58:36
billfrankenstein
um' never understand those games. It's just it's furniture.
01:58:38
silkdong
Like, just don't... Just make it fucking Zelda, then.
01:58:41
BeyBlade
Well, it's not even like those games are allowed to exist, right?
01:58:42
silkdong
Like, don't say it's canon.
01:58:42
Steve-O
The thing is, they they did that.
01:58:43
silkdong
Don't say it's canon and shit.
01:58:45
BeyBlade
It's just more that you're like important lore is just put in these games, right?
01:58:49
Steve-O
Yeah, you're throwing it away.
01:58:49
billfrankenstein
Mm-hmm.

silkdong
ah hate that.
01:58:50
BeyBlade
That's the issue.

01:58:53
billfrankenstein
Yeah, that's one thing I do kind of like about Night Rain is they don't...
01:58:53
silkdong
It fucking...
01:58:57
billfrankenstein
The lore is not the most important part.
01:58:59
silkdong
It's completely removed, but it still has some connections where, like, if you want to...
01:59:01
billfrankenstein
Yeah.
01:59:01
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:59:04
silkdong
Like, it's not like they took Miyazaki's lore ideas and just made Night Reign. You know, it's its own thing.
01:59:09
Steve-O
Right.
01:59:09
billfrankenstein
right
01:59:11
Steve-O
And the worst part is they nailed it on the first one with Hyrule Warriors one, where it was essentially just a celebration of all the Zelda games.
01:59:20
silkdong
Yeah, just fucking do that. Just do that.
01:59:21
Steve-O
And they're like, fuck it. Here's a character from Majora's mask. And here's a character from Wind Waker.

02:03:19
billfrankenstein
Does
Fortnite Collaborations and Critiques
02:03:20
billfrankenstein
it say Oakley Doakley over and over again?
02:03:20
Steve-O
ah ah I mean, he doesn't, but the person playing literally just like narrating it.
02:03:25
billfrankenstein
Oh, yeah that's wonderful.
02:03:29
Steve-O
But he has like... You remember in Lost the thing that the one guy whips out to hit people in like the shins and shit?
02:03:36
billfrankenstein
Oh, the yeah, like a baton.
02:03:37
Steve-O
He has a fucking baton that he just whips out.
02:03:43
billfrankenstein
Look at him go. Whoa.
02:03:44
BeyBlade
Anyway, let's see. Mark Simpson. got to say, man, the the art style is crazy good.
02:03:49
Steve-O
Yeah, they they really nailed the the like the cell shading for this season.
02:03:49
billfrankenstein
Yeah, really good.
02:03:50
BeyBlade
You nailed it.
02:03:54
billfrankenstein
Got them all. He walks around like a pimp.
02:03:56
BeyBlade
Wait, so that's that's AI Ned Flanders.
02:03:58
Steve-O
That is just the bot Ned Flanders just on the map.
02:03:58
BeyBlade
that's that is That is Mr. X Ned Flanders.
02:04:03
Steve-O
If you can you can talk to him and he'll be like, hey, I'll give you like a health potion or like if you need to buy like something from me, I can sell it to you.
02:04:03
BeyBlade
That's Nemesis Ned Flanders.
02:04:11
BeyBlade
But if you
02:04:11
Steve-O
you accidentally It's kind of like in Dark Souls where if you accidentally hit one of the NPCs, they go fucking feral.
02:04:17
billfrankenstein
How much of the town is in the game? Is it like most tavern and shit?
02:04:20
Steve-O
ah Most taverns in it. um So the whole the whole gist of it is... um the fortnight characters, um, during the, during their Halloween event, um, Kodos and Kang were floating around and just watching what was happening in fortnight.
02:04:38
Steve-O
Uh, and, uh, there was a tree growing and it ended up being the tree house of horrors. And if you went inside of it, you could watch like episodes of the Simpsons in it.
02:04:47
billfrankenstein
Cool.
02:04:47
Steve-O
Uh, and then the big reveal for this season was the fortnight characters tried to stop Kodos and Kang and they were trying to pick where they were going to go either fortnight Island or Springfield and they ended up breaking it and it turned the fortnight Island into Springfield Island.
02:05:03
Steve-O
So it has a majority of like all of the like primary like places. It doesn't have the school cause they don't want to make it like a school shooter thing.
02:05:11
billfrankenstein
yeah I didn't even think about that.
02:05:12
Steve-O
Um,
02:05:12
BeyBlade
That's a good call.
02:05:13
billfrankenstein
didn't even think about that.
02:05:13
BeyBlade
That's a probably good call.
02:05:13
Steve-O
But like aside from that, there's like Burns Mansion, um Nuclear Power Plant.
02:05:17
billfrankenstein
Nuclear power plant?
02:05:19
Steve-O
um the There's a ton of quickie marks on the map. ah it's It's very...
02:05:25
billfrankenstein
Fat Boy Donuts?
02:05:25
Steve-O
Yeah, Lardlad. Lardlad is in it.
02:05:28
billfrankenstein
Lard Lard. Lard Lard.
02:05:28
Steve-O
And if you fucking like ah break his legs, ah the donut falls down.
02:05:31
silkdong
Yardland.
02:05:34
Steve-O
You can take off Jebediah Springfield's head from the statue and wear it. And it tanks one free headshot for you.
02:05:41
BeyBlade
Okay.
02:05:42
Steve-O
ah it's It's a very cool season. And like again, I've just been having a good time with it just because you know it's Simpsons. It's beloved.
02:05:48
billfrankenstein
Is Moe's family feedback?
02:05:50
Steve-O
ah No Moe's family feedback, but you can find payphones around the map and you can prank call Moe.
02:05:50
billfrankenstein
Oh,
02:05:56
billfrankenstein
i hell yeah.
02:05:57
Steve-O
Yeah, and it plays classic clips.
02:05:57
billfrankenstein
Amanda Hug and Kiss.
02:05:59
Steve-O
Again, you can tell they really loved old school Simpsons. so
02:06:03
billfrankenstein
Who doesn't?
02:06:04
Steve-O
Yeah, but 0 out of 10 kill.
02:06:10
billfrankenstein
well Whoa. Holy shit.

02:06:14
silkdong

02:06:15
billfrankenstein

02:06:18
BeyBlade
I heard there's there's a there's AI technology. they The computer does things by itself.
02:06:23
Steve-O
I mean, I talked to AI Darth Vader during this year's Star Wars.
02:06:25
BeyBlade
Yeah.
02:06:27
billfrankenstein
What's he like?
02:06:28
Steve-O

02:06:31
billfrankenstein

02:06:32
BeyBlade
Oh yeah, I remember.
02:06:33

02:07:03
Steve-O
Emperor Palpatine is alive. The only way you can discover this. is in Fortnite.
02:07:09
BeyBlade
Yeah. ah And that that reminds me of the story that we heard. where they wanted to put James Bond in Fortnite, but like Daniel Craig vetoed it.
02:07:25
BeyBlade
And I was like, that is such the right move. That age is like fine wine to me, that story. He's like, no, that's fucking dumb. Like, yeah, good.
02:07:37
BeyBlade

Daniel Craig. Man does not like video games.
02:07:40
BeyBlade
