[00:02:28] Gracias, Mr. Kevin Garcia en el Kickstarter.
[00:02:32] Gracias a todos los premios.

[00:03:09] ¿Qué empezaron el Kickstarter?
[00:03:12] Sí, es por lo tanto.
[00:03:13] ¿Centruamente?
[00:03:14] Pero en mi podcast,
[00:03:16] de course, myprimospodcast.com.
[00:03:18] Check out our posts, my reviews there.
[00:03:20] If you like movie reviews,
[00:03:22] they're just really honest in your face.
[00:03:24] Kevin, they're seeing a whispered in my ear today
[00:03:25] and I should do more with that.
[00:03:26] We don't know what happens.
[00:03:29] But of course,
[00:03:31] we're going to bring you some conversations
[00:03:33] of what we've been watching, reading,
[00:03:35] into, and just kind of catch up with everybody.
[00:03:38] But Mr. Kevin,
[00:03:39] you were saying your Kickstarter was successful?
[00:03:43] Yeah, I did my Kickstarter.
[00:03:44] We talked about it a few episodes back,
[00:03:46] World's War comics.
[00:03:47] And it was almost on the wire,
[00:03:51] but like we made it,
[00:03:52] we made it past our goal.
[00:03:53] So it's very good.
[00:03:55] Renato Agarza,
[00:03:56] he's already drawn the pages.
[00:03:58] And Michael Woods to color it.
[00:03:59] I've already got all of the cover artists
[00:04:02] that I've been working with are doing great.
[00:04:04] Freddie Lopez Jr.,
[00:04:07] Matt, he is amazing.
[00:04:10] I told him from the beginning that
[00:04:12] the second I had this idea for a story,
[00:04:14] I was like, I want Freddie to do the cover.
[00:04:15] And he did the cover.
[00:04:17] And then he's just kept drawing the characters
[00:04:19] because he's had fun with it.
[00:04:21] Oh man.
[00:04:23] That's awesome.
[00:04:24] Are you happy?
[00:04:25] Yeah, I'm happy.
[00:04:26] It's one of those things people are expecting me
[00:04:27] to jump for joy and it's hard for me to do that
[00:04:29] because it's like,
[00:04:30] until it's in my hands,
[00:04:32] it's hard, you know what I mean?
[00:04:33] Yeah.
[00:04:34] Yeah.
[00:04:35] And that being said,
[00:04:36] I've also got some people
[00:04:38] that follow me on TikTok
[00:04:39] that are posting fan art of the characters already.
[00:04:42] So I was like,
[00:04:43] I'm excited to have been out yet.
[00:04:44] So that's really cool.
[00:04:45] That's cool.
[00:04:47] But are you worried
[00:04:47] if you're killing Garcia?
[00:04:49] That TikTok will be gone
[00:04:52] and then you have to start over.
[00:04:53] You know, I kept telling people over and over again,
[00:04:56] oh don't worry about it
[00:04:56] because there's no way Biden would sign anything
[00:05:00] on an election year even if it passed the Senate
[00:05:02] but it's not likely to pass the Senate.
[00:05:04] And then I went back
[00:05:05] and looked at the actual information about it
[00:05:07] and I was like,
[00:05:08] a lot of Democrats in Congress voted for it
[00:05:11] and Biden has officially said he will sign it.
[00:05:14] I'm like,
[00:05:15] is he trying to not get reelected?
[00:05:17] Is that what his goal is right now?
[00:05:18] And I'm not saying that because like TikTok
[00:05:20] is an important demographic
[00:05:21] but because the base of both parties is gonna vote.
[00:05:25] You wanna get people
[00:05:26] that don't normally vote to vote
[00:05:28] and let's be blunt,
[00:05:30] TikTok is young people,
[00:05:31] young people don't always vote.
[00:05:33] This is not going to encourage them to go vote.
[00:05:36] You know what I mean?
[00:05:37] It's basically like he's trying
[00:05:38] to not get reelected.
[00:05:39] Like what the heck?
[00:05:40] That being said,
[00:05:42] I'm choosing not to worry about it right now.
[00:05:44] My goal had been to get to 10K and I imagine
[00:05:46] I will get to 10K the day that they banned TikTok.
[00:05:49] Oh man.
[00:05:53] Yeah.
[00:05:55] That's just gonna happen Kevin.
[00:05:57] But like I got to 10K.
[00:05:59] You know what?
[00:06:00] I still need to get to 10K
[00:06:01] to release the naked Gingerbread Kevin picture too
[00:06:04] and we're close.
[00:06:05] Who does need that?
[00:06:06] Oh no,
[00:06:07] we do need a naked Gingerbread Kevin.
[00:06:09] And why stop it Gingerbread?
[00:06:10] Anyway, the,
[00:06:11] the,
[00:06:12] if we had a Patreon,
[00:06:15] you know,
[00:06:16] that's not,
[00:06:17] that's a different kind of paper.
[00:06:19] But you must at me,
[00:06:20] if you,
[00:06:21] if you're down for a Patreon,
[00:06:22] I'll make something happen
[00:06:23] if you guys are really down
[00:06:25] and want to support the show
[00:06:26] and help us get naked Kevin and Art.
[00:06:28] And it's a real
[00:06:29] independent.
[00:06:31] Exactly.
[00:06:32] If you're,
[00:06:32] if you're really into ready,
[00:06:33] we can make it an only fans instead.
[00:06:36] Whoa.
[00:06:37] Hey yo.
[00:06:38] We can make some ludes.
[00:06:39] I know someone that draws ludes.
[00:06:41] Sad.
[00:06:41] I know someone that draws really,
[00:06:43] really funny ones are really good.
[00:06:44] There you go.
[00:06:45] I'm gonna alien,
[00:06:46] yeah,
[00:06:47] so how have you been?
[00:06:48] Alias since it's been about a week or so
[00:06:49] since we last saw and spoke to each other.
[00:06:51] How are things where are you?
[00:06:53] What's up?
[00:06:55] I'm good.
[00:06:56] I got caught up on like almost all my work.
[00:06:58] So it's a relief.
[00:06:59] I'm sure of it.
[00:07:00] I'm sure of it.
[00:07:01] You know,
[00:07:02] I'm an artist.
[00:07:04] Amen.
[00:07:05] No, I'm good.
[00:07:06] I'm good.
[00:07:07] Get it done.
[00:07:08] But yeah, now I have time to consume media.
[00:07:10] So tell me what to watch.
[00:07:13] Tell me what to read.
[00:07:14] You,
[00:07:15] if you say that to somebody like me,
[00:07:17] I'm just like,
[00:07:18] I know.
[00:07:19] Yeah.
[00:07:20] My reaction to those
[00:07:21] is so much.
[00:07:22] What kind of stuff do you like?
[00:07:23] And then I'll be like,
[00:07:24] okay, then try this.
[00:07:26] You know,
[00:07:27] I
[00:07:28] not as picky
[00:07:30] minus
[00:07:31] I'm, I'm not considered myself super picky,
[00:07:33] but I do know there's things that I gravitate towards.
[00:07:36] And last week I was at Southwest where I had access
[00:07:39] to a bunch of different movies and there's movies
[00:07:41] that I wouldn't normally go watch.
[00:07:43] But since I already had a ticket to it anyway,
[00:07:45] I went to watch them.
[00:07:46] So I ended up enjoying a lot of things
[00:07:48] that I probably wouldn't have seen.
[00:07:49] So it's like,
[00:07:51] everybody's got stuff.
[00:07:52] Even if you're not like picky,
[00:07:53] there's stuff you gravitate towards.
[00:07:54] Like there's the good.
[00:07:55] Well, let's talk about Kevin Garcia a moment ago
[00:07:59] before we started the show.
[00:08:00] You said you lost a really cool shirt,
[00:08:02] which
[00:08:03] I'm going to leave in the show.
[00:08:04] You said you were going to bring it out.
[00:08:06] You lost it,
[00:08:07] but funny enough, I still have a very in my messy house
[00:08:12] somewhere with your rat tail.
[00:08:14] Yeah,
[00:08:16] it's probably with the rats tail.
[00:08:17] But I was going to tell a story there.
[00:08:19] You know, you lost something that you really enjoyed
[00:08:20] because someone made that right?
[00:08:21] You bought it from a creator.
[00:08:23] I wasn't.
[00:08:23] It wasn't easy.
[00:08:24] Yeah, artist, right?
[00:08:26] I bought a great,
[00:08:27] my,
[00:08:27] my great artist name is spice illustrations
[00:08:31] and I had all my loot foods on it, right?
[00:08:34] And someone came over one night and we're hanging out.
[00:08:37] And you know that saying I grew up this way,
[00:08:39] when guests come over,
[00:08:40] you don't let them like wash their hands
[00:08:43] or like do the dishes because they leave their bad luck
[00:08:46] in the house or something like that?
[00:08:47] I don't know.
[00:08:48] Or it's bad manners, whatever.
[00:08:49] Who knows just the manners, right?
[00:08:50] They didn't know there was luck in there.
[00:08:52] Yeah, yeah,
[00:08:53] because they washed their,
[00:08:54] then they leave their like,
[00:08:55] if they leave their bad luck or something like that.
[00:08:58] I don't know.
[00:08:59] Whatever.
[00:09:00] Point is,
[00:09:01] pick him over.
[00:09:02] We all had like coffee and pandusa, whatever.
[00:09:04] And I'm in my cup and then she's the size
[00:09:06] to wash your dishes without telling us
[00:09:08] and literally like drops it like boom.
[00:09:11] And it shatters in the sink.
[00:09:13] And I'm like,
[00:09:14] oh,
[00:09:15] and I'm like,
[00:09:16] oh, I'm so sorry.
[00:09:17] I'm like,
[00:09:18] it's cool.
[00:09:19] Like you should be.
[00:09:20] She got it.
[00:09:21] What's up with you?
[00:09:23] And now Elia has a shop over opened.
[00:09:28] I did see that she's promoting a mug.
[00:09:30] So I may,
[00:09:32] you can arrange it.
[00:09:33] But here's a thing though,
[00:09:35] when you say that,
[00:09:36] you think the low is an accident.
[00:09:38] Could it happen to anybody?
[00:09:39] But I had somebody over once where I asked,
[00:09:41] hey, you know,
[00:09:42] it's your turn.
[00:09:42] Can you do the dishes?
[00:09:44] And they were like,
[00:09:44] I don't know how.
[00:09:45] And I was like,
[00:09:46] you could do it.
[00:09:46] I believe in you and I'm watching.
[00:09:48] And they were putting them
[00:09:49] in the drying rack
[00:09:50] and they were just kind of like,
[00:09:52] like in every random angle.
[00:09:53] And I'm like,
[00:09:54] there's literally lines for the plates,
[00:09:56] but I'm just watching.
[00:09:57] And then they get this glass and they're like looking
[00:09:59] and looking and they're trying to figure out where to put it.
[00:10:01] And there's two plates at like a V angle.
[00:10:04] And they just push the glass slowly
[00:10:07] between those two plates.
[00:10:09] And I was like,
[00:10:10] you hear that squint?
[00:10:11] And then we literally,
[00:10:13] literally the glass went,
[00:10:14] psh.
[00:10:15] Oh, right in their hands.
[00:10:17] And I was like,
[00:10:18] did you just do that so that you never have to watch dishes again?
[00:10:21] They were like,
[00:10:21] no, I was trying to figure out where to put it.
[00:10:22] I'm like,
[00:10:23] I think that's why they did it.
[00:10:25] Oh my god.
[00:10:26] Wow.
[00:10:27] And then never did you guys know?
[00:10:30] Did you know this?
[00:10:31] I don't know.
[00:10:32] Again, just the blender as my mind.
[00:10:36] My wife one time because we have a little,
[00:10:38] we had little boy at one point.
[00:10:39] He's 15 now, 14 in the room playing some shenanigans.
[00:10:43] He's gonna be 30 and you're gonna have a little boy.
[00:10:46] I know any who when he was little little,
[00:10:49] I remember something breaking like glass or something, right?
[00:10:53] And my wife freaks out,
[00:10:54] obviously we have a little kid.
[00:10:56] And I'm like,
[00:10:57] oh, we're just vacuum or switch of snow.
[00:10:58] It's never going to get all the,
[00:11:00] like the microscopic glass you walk around here
[00:11:03] for what have you,
[00:11:04] you know, in my head I remember that scene from Seinfeld
[00:11:07] where the model does his mind when Elaine almost drops
[00:11:09] the cup off the,
[00:11:11] anyways, if you know,
[00:11:12] if you know what I'm talking about,
[00:11:13] and what I'm talking about.
[00:11:14] So my wife grabbed a piece of bread
[00:11:18] and she took the bread like the wonder bread,
[00:11:21] let's say,
[00:11:22] and literally just put it on the floor
[00:11:24] and just like swaffed the floor with the bread
[00:11:29] to collect any microscopic pieces of the,
[00:11:32] I can't really see the logic to that.
[00:11:35] Yeah.
[00:11:35] So if you guys ever break something
[00:11:39] and you have some bread and you're worried,
[00:11:40] no, cause dog and you have pets,
[00:11:42] walk around people, walk around barefoot,
[00:11:45] bread, there you go.
[00:11:47] Oh yeah.
[00:11:48] I'll turn around and have somebody over
[00:11:49] that you're not very fond of
[00:11:51] and ask them to walk around barefoot.
[00:11:53] Dangerous, dangerous game.
[00:11:56] Dangerous game.
[00:11:57] Dangerous way of home though.
[00:12:00] Yeah, it's true.
[00:12:01] You'll find it at that point
[00:12:03] and then they won't come over anymore.
[00:12:04] Two for one.
[00:12:06] I'm gonna fix my mic here.
[00:12:07] All right, there it is.
[00:12:07] Well guys, let's jump into tonight.
[00:12:10] We've been watching
[00:12:11] Consumbing Different Things
[00:12:11] Kevin, you were a South by Southwest.
[00:12:13] You ignored the podcast.
[00:12:15] You didn't write us.
[00:12:17] I was doing everybody
[00:12:19] to go on movies.
[00:12:21] I did write you,
[00:12:21] but I was busy doing 20 different things.
[00:12:23] I had three field trips with my students all the same week.
[00:12:27] I had South by Southwest,
[00:12:28] which I both work and attend.
[00:12:29] And I had the last week of my Kickstarter.
[00:12:33] I was a little bit busy last week.
[00:12:35] No excuses.
[00:12:36] Two out of the three of that area
[00:12:39] sound important to me.
[00:12:40] Hey, only the lack of...
[00:12:42] The field is not super important
[00:12:43] is just attending South by Southwest.
[00:12:45] Everything else there,
[00:12:46] I was doing things.
[00:12:48] No, you're doing it, Kevin.
[00:12:50] You out there.
[00:12:51] You out there.
[00:12:52] You be the Kevin Garcia in your life.
[00:12:56] Oh, yeah.
[00:12:57] Kevin, tell us about South by Southwest.
[00:13:00] What did you watch?
[00:13:01] What did you do?
[00:13:03] Well, so I was saying there's movies
[00:13:05] that I watched that I probably wouldn't have otherwise.
[00:13:07] Like I saw Roadhouse,
[00:13:09] which I mean it was going to be fun,
[00:13:11] but I just I don't generally go to action movies
[00:13:14] that aren't going to be like sci-fi or romance
[00:13:16] or something else as well.
[00:13:17] Not one that's just pure action,
[00:13:19] but it was action and it was funny.
[00:13:20] It was really good.
[00:13:21] It's one of those things where I can't believe they did a remake
[00:13:23] of it, but at the same time it was a lot of fun.
[00:13:25] It was like ridiculous.
[00:13:26] It's hard to replace Patrick Swayze, everybody.
[00:13:28] It really is.
[00:13:28] And it's unfair to compare it to the other
[00:13:30] because you can't not everybody can be Patrick Swayze
[00:13:32] except for Patrick Swayze.
[00:13:34] But Gil and Hall did a great job
[00:13:36] being both creepy and charming so there's that.
[00:13:40] Yeah.
[00:13:42] I saw, oh, the most impactful movie
[00:13:45] I saw the entire time was another one
[00:13:48] that I probably wouldn't have watched
[00:13:49] if I hadn't been there.
[00:13:51] It's called My Dead Friend Zoe
[00:13:53] and it's about a soldier who comes home from Afghanistan
[00:13:58] and has just their friend who is dead
[00:14:01] just constantly talking in her ear,
[00:14:04] making comments on things,
[00:14:06] being sarcastic, telling jokes.
[00:14:07] It's funny, but it's also every single person at theater
[00:14:12] was bawling by the end.
[00:14:14] They were just crying.
[00:14:16] It was really good.
[00:14:18] And part of why I wouldn't have watched it is,
[00:14:21] I knew it was made by veteran
[00:14:23] and actually most of the actors in the movie,
[00:14:25] not the main cast but mostly actually the movie
[00:14:27] are also veterans.
[00:14:28] And you're thinking, well,
[00:14:30] I don't want to see something
[00:14:31] that's just military propaganda
[00:14:32] but this isn't a movie about the military.
[00:14:35] It's a movie about the soldiers
[00:14:37] and I was like, that's significant.
[00:14:40] It's a really well done movie.
[00:14:43] Also, it's got a crazy good cast.
[00:14:47] Like apparently the director said
[00:14:49] that he wrote a letter to Ed Harris saying,
[00:14:51] maybe you'd want to be in this
[00:14:52] and Ed Harris immediately said yes.
[00:14:54] And I'm guessing like everyone else was like,
[00:14:55] oh, Ed Harris is going to be there?
[00:14:56] I'll be there because it's like a new director
[00:15:00] and he got amazing cast.
[00:15:02] What else did I see?
[00:15:03] I saw a romantic dramedy about time travel
[00:15:06] which is more my thing, sci-fi stuff.
[00:15:09] Call like the best.
[00:15:10] Greatest hits and it's about a woman
[00:15:13] who time travels to points in her life
[00:15:15] based on music she hears.
[00:15:18] Oh, that sounds cool.
[00:15:20] It is and it's a romantic dramedy
[00:15:23] so you're going to get a lot of that kind of situation.
[00:15:24] It's really good.
[00:15:26] I think that one's going to get a limited release.
[00:15:28] There's no release yet for my dead friend Zoe.
[00:15:31] What else did I see?
[00:15:32] I saw Babes which is the new movie by the star of Broad City
[00:15:36] which was really funny.
[00:15:39] On the downside I'll say it felt like
[00:15:40] I was just watching a long episode of Broad City
[00:15:43] but on the upside I was watching a long episode of Broad City.
[00:15:45] So yeah, that goes by the way.
[00:15:49] I was watching a TV show but it was really funny
[00:15:51] so you know, they were trying to...
[00:15:53] I missed Broad City.
[00:15:55] That's just so funny for me.
[00:15:56] Who's your name?
[00:15:57] I'm Elana.
[00:16:00] Elana?
[00:16:01] Please be the other one.
[00:16:05] Oh yeah, Elana.
[00:16:07] Abby.
[00:16:08] Because Abby's the voice of being on disenchampment
[00:16:12] where I think.
[00:16:13] Yeah.
[00:16:14] Elana glaz her.
[00:16:15] Yeah, she's really good.
[00:16:17] And again, honestly, she always plays the same character
[00:16:19] but she's good at that character.
[00:16:22] You know what?
[00:16:23] I didn't play Mario Brothers one time on stream for like...
[00:16:27] Again, she was amazing.
[00:16:28] I never moved.
[00:16:30] He was awesome.
[00:16:31] I loved it.
[00:16:32] I also saw a movie that was good
[00:16:38] but I can't earnestly recommend it.
[00:16:40] I mean, Ellie, like...
[00:16:41] I know her.
[00:16:43] Yeah, so it's a horror kind of comedy
[00:16:48] but it's called I Saw the TV Glow
[00:16:54] and it's actually very well done.
[00:16:58] You guys don't have creepypastas, are you all right?
[00:16:59] Yeah.
[00:17:00] The whole movie is a creepypasta.
[00:17:02] It's all this.
[00:17:03] Yes.
[00:17:03] It's a creepypasta that set in like late 90s
[00:17:09] older teenage Nickelodeon.
[00:17:11] You know, like that kind of a setting.
[00:17:13] But...
[00:17:14] Right up my alley.
[00:17:15] And like...
[00:17:16] Like, liminal space?
[00:17:17] Yes, all liminal spaces and stuff
[00:17:18] but also like literally in the TV shows
[00:17:22] without ever calling it Nick.
[00:17:23] Well, Jeff, this myth is in that movie.
[00:17:25] They call it the Young Adult Network
[00:17:27] but the issue is that the director
[00:17:32] flat out said before we watched the movie
[00:17:34] that there is a subtext metaphor
[00:17:36] about gender identity in the movie
[00:17:39] and the reason I can't fully recommend it is that
[00:17:43] I think that message should have been clearer
[00:17:46] and also I have known a lot of people with
[00:17:50] not talking about gender right now,
[00:17:51] talking about other kinds of things
[00:17:53] where they don't have a grasp on reality
[00:17:55] and whenever I see a movie like this
[00:17:56] that basically says your version of reality is confirmed,
[00:18:01] I worry that somebody who has those issues
[00:18:03] will watch a movie like that and say this is proof.
[00:18:06] Oh, okay.
[00:18:07] So because it doesn't have the strong ending
[00:18:10] that I really was hoping it would have,
[00:18:13] I cannot say it's not a well done movie.
[00:18:15] It's very well done.
[00:18:16] I mean...
[00:18:18] Enough of what you've said and who I see on the cast
[00:18:23] gets me interested.
[00:18:24] Yeah, oh yeah, it's really good.
[00:18:26] And the main actor, amazing, the whole thing.
[00:18:29] Justice Smith, right?
[00:18:31] Yep, yep.
[00:18:32] And it was funny because last year at South By,
[00:18:35] I saw him play a character in Dengessons Dragons,
[00:18:38] which is about people in a fantasy world
[00:18:41] put together by people in the real world.
[00:18:42] And this movie he's somebody who believes
[00:18:44] in the fantasy world in the real world.
[00:18:45] So it like you know, he's got a trend going at South By.
[00:18:49] Yeah.
[00:18:50] He's good at it though.
[00:18:52] You know, do you think off of that
[00:18:54] just you saw cool movies?
[00:18:55] I saw two movies kind of ties into this.
[00:18:59] Now they're not South by Southwest films.
[00:19:01] These are like mainstream releases
[00:19:02] and Justice Smith was in a movie currently called
[00:19:07] The American Society of Magical Negroes.
[00:19:09] Mm-hmm.
[00:19:10] I haven't watched it yet.
[00:19:11] This movie, me and my wife watch this movie
[00:19:15] and we were borderline tearing up in it.
[00:19:18] It's a romance.
[00:19:20] It's a very, it's a tire of course regarding on it.
[00:19:23] But they even spent the beginning of the film
[00:19:26] that the term magical negro is used as a token, you know
[00:19:30] in films to come rescue the white people,
[00:19:32] come help the white people and the term.
[00:19:35] Terminal elaborate.
[00:19:36] Well the term comes from TV tropes
[00:19:38] which is a website that where people like basically
[00:19:41] fan community got together and just kind of as
[00:19:44] a just stalked entity decided on terms for things
[00:19:47] and that was one of the terms from that website
[00:19:49] and it is surprisingly accurate you know
[00:19:53] for a lot of films.
[00:19:55] But this film I recommended 100%
[00:19:59] because it does have a great message behind it.
[00:20:02] They've gotten gris in this film as well
[00:20:04] and I love that he's the comedian
[00:20:07] but he just has range to Justice Smith in this film
[00:20:11] like it literally is the premise
[00:20:13] is that this group of African Americans
[00:20:16] and they've been doing it since hundreds
[00:20:19] and hundreds of years to where they do everything
[00:20:22] they can to make the white community less nervous
[00:20:25] about people of color
[00:20:27] because when they're nervous or uneasy
[00:20:30] that's when people get hurt.
[00:20:31] That's when things go wrong, people get shot.
[00:20:34] Accusations happen you know like
[00:20:36] people's lives get ruined you know
[00:20:38] it's just because the white
[00:20:40] right why do you talk to Sir had a bad day
[00:20:42] because of white fragility
[00:20:43] thank you yeah and there's a scene towards the end
[00:20:48] that I'm not going to spoil but when you
[00:20:51] when you hear the speech in so many words
[00:20:55] just realizing that existing is okay
[00:20:59] like that kind of and it's just like really heartfelt
[00:21:02] it's a romantic movie as well
[00:21:04] by the way there is a love interest in there
[00:21:05] that's great.
[00:21:07] I don't want to give much away
[00:21:09] because I really think you should go check it out
[00:21:10] I know we're skipping ahead
[00:21:12] to stuff recommending
[00:21:12] but we're talking about movies
[00:21:13] I don't know what's up with my ex-wife.
[00:21:15] Yeah
[00:21:16] I like this
[00:21:16] Where's it streaming?
[00:21:18] It's not streaming, it's in theaters
[00:21:20] so it's okay
[00:21:21] yeah
[00:21:23] yeah, you could release
[00:21:24] on that
[00:21:24] and awesome, awesome film.
[00:21:28] I will say yeah a lot of the movies
[00:21:29] I mentioned are either streaming
[00:21:31] or going to be streaming soon
[00:21:33] some of them are going to theaters
[00:21:35] the two last movies that I saw
[00:21:36] are ones that are definitely going to theaters
[00:21:38] well before they get streaming
[00:21:39] that is Monkey Man and Civil War
[00:21:42] Monkey Man, I'm excited about by the way
[00:21:45] so cool
[00:21:46] I love Deca Tell
[00:21:49] It's cool
[00:21:51] I want to see that movie so bad
[00:21:53] because it looks so insane
[00:21:54] the trailers look so good
[00:21:55] It's a direct-torial review
[00:21:56] and it is definitely everything
[00:21:58] you're hoping for
[00:21:59] I do have one minor reservation for it
[00:22:01] but it's not
[00:22:03] it is not nothing about the quality of the story
[00:22:06] or the action
[00:22:07] like it's definitely
[00:22:08] well put together action movie
[00:22:11] No, I mean one
[00:22:13] one movie I watched
[00:22:13] which
[00:22:15] I did a review on
[00:22:16] I think I'm going to skip ahead here
[00:22:17] but some tracking movies
[00:22:19] movies out of the way
[00:22:20] we have more topics
[00:22:21] but I watched the imaginary
[00:22:24] which is the Blumhouse
[00:22:25] not a movie about a teddy bear
[00:22:28] not the
[00:22:30] IF is imaginary friend
[00:22:32] that's coming out later this month
[00:22:35] I think or another month
[00:22:36] Ryan Reynolds
[00:22:38] more family and Henrietta
[00:22:39] at least
[00:22:42] this movie
[00:22:43] is not worth your time
[00:22:45] oh
[00:22:46] I feel like
[00:22:48] I sat down not expecting everything
[00:22:50] I mean look at me wrong
[00:22:51] me and my kid love watching horror movies
[00:22:53] and even we understand
[00:22:55] there's an asterisk to say
[00:22:56] it's a good bad movie
[00:22:57] you know because these are some good bad movies
[00:22:59] and some horror movies
[00:23:01] you kind of know what you're walking into
[00:23:02] but this was sold
[00:23:03] and the idea that
[00:23:05] that an imaginary friend
[00:23:06] kind of takes a turn right
[00:23:08] and it's kind of over
[00:23:10] it's been done before
[00:23:11] it's nothing amazing
[00:23:13] but this film
[00:23:15] was the first movie
[00:23:16] the first horror movie
[00:23:18] that I literally have to look at my watch and go
[00:23:20] is it over yet
[00:23:21] because
[00:23:23] because in horror movies
[00:23:24] you can kind of feel
[00:23:25] it's about to end
[00:23:26] you know it's a
[00:23:27] second-act third actor
[00:23:29] we go it's going to kind of come down now
[00:23:31] it kept doing weird
[00:23:33] like we're coming up
[00:23:34] we're coming up
[00:23:35] we plateau
[00:23:35] plateau
[00:23:36] plateau
[00:23:37] plateau
[00:23:38] we're coming up
[00:23:39] here's a weird turn
[00:23:41] but we never address it again
[00:23:43] and the dialogue in there
[00:23:44] feels like it was written by AI
[00:23:46] it was very like
[00:23:47] monotone
[00:23:49] and like
[00:23:50] hey you're going to play the
[00:23:52] the asshole teenage daughter
[00:23:54] and you're going to have attitude
[00:23:55] and she did that
[00:23:57] and then the main characters
[00:23:58] I didn't buy the family dynamic
[00:24:00] I didn't buy it
[00:24:00] and
[00:24:03] didn't look that good
[00:24:04] it looked like a goosebumps episode
[00:24:05] from TV
[00:24:06] oh
[00:24:08] yeah
[00:24:10] I forgive a lot of things
[00:24:11] as long as the content is good
[00:24:12] right?
[00:24:13] doesn't have to look pretty
[00:24:14] there's as long as the writing's there
[00:24:15] and there's a story
[00:24:16] the concept was there
[00:24:18] to be able to play
[00:24:19] in someone's imagination
[00:24:20] you know like pretty Kruger
[00:24:21] right? You can do whatever you want
[00:24:22] in those movies
[00:24:23] because imagination and dream world
[00:24:25] this one was limited
[00:24:27] there was no payoff
[00:24:28] it was like
[00:24:30] it was teasing me
[00:24:31] it was so much for play
[00:24:32] and no
[00:24:34] damn
[00:24:35] no excitement at the end
[00:24:36] you know what I mean
[00:24:37] there's no no no no
[00:24:38] no win
[00:24:39] walked out of there
[00:24:40] all of us were disappointed
[00:24:42] so
[00:24:43] so what you're saying is
[00:24:44] we all need to go watch it
[00:24:45] right now
[00:24:46] I know now I'm like
[00:24:47] no
[00:24:49] no
[00:24:49] if you want to watch it
[00:24:50] just to talk shit
[00:24:51] I'm there
[00:24:52] so sit down and enjoy a fun
[00:24:55] horror movie
[00:24:57] no dice
[00:24:58] no dice
[00:24:59] so
[00:25:01] oh go ahead
[00:25:02] no I was going to say real quick
[00:25:03] on imaginary
[00:25:03] so that one came
[00:25:04] came out
[00:25:05] and then there's also this
[00:25:07] you know the iF one
[00:25:08] with Ryan Reynolds
[00:25:09] and some of the
[00:25:10] day what are the odds
[00:25:11] these two coming out of the
[00:25:12] same time
[00:25:13] and I have a theory on that
[00:25:15] and that is there was this
[00:25:17] this art piece
[00:25:19] about a teddy bear
[00:25:20] protecting a little boy
[00:25:21] from a
[00:25:24] sharing screen right now
[00:25:25] so if you want to share a screen
[00:25:26] so get in that
[00:25:26] about a teddy bear
[00:25:28] protecting a little boy
[00:25:28] who's sleeping
[00:25:30] from a nightmare monster
[00:25:31] and this guy posted it
[00:25:33] on deviant art
[00:25:35] like 10 years ago
[00:25:37] and no
[00:25:38] not even like that
[00:25:38] less than
[00:25:39] less than
[00:25:39] a little bit less than 10 years ago
[00:25:41] and
[00:25:41] it was just
[00:25:42] it went viral
[00:25:43] it was very big
[00:25:44] and studios actually
[00:25:45] optioned it
[00:25:46] right
[00:25:47] but
[00:25:48] I honestly think
[00:25:49] what happened is
[00:25:51] the studios realized
[00:25:52] there's no technical story here
[00:25:54] and you can't
[00:25:56] on the copyright
[00:25:56] on teddy bears
[00:25:58] and imaginary creatures
[00:26:00] so they decided
[00:26:01] to just move forward
[00:26:01] with it without
[00:26:03] this concept
[00:26:05] because I feel like
[00:26:06] neither of those movies
[00:26:07] that are coming out this year
[00:26:08] is based on this
[00:26:08] right
[00:26:10] so all I could think is
[00:26:11] that
[00:26:12] it made me think of Sherlock
[00:26:14] because the BBC had Sherlock
[00:26:16] and then
[00:26:17] the American station was going to
[00:26:18] option it to make an American version of it
[00:26:20] they realized
[00:26:21] wait a minute
[00:26:21] it's public domain
[00:26:22] we don't have to do that
[00:26:23] and so elementary was made
[00:26:24] without paying anybody at
[00:26:25] BBC
[00:26:26] so
[00:26:26] you know
[00:26:28] no but yeah
[00:26:30] don't watch it
[00:26:30] either you're going to say something
[00:26:32] before stepping
[00:26:33] oh yeah
[00:26:35] no it's all good
[00:26:36] I was just going to go into like movies
[00:26:37] because Ray is my partner
[00:26:39] is helping me watch movies
[00:26:41] that I've never seen before
[00:26:42] and
[00:26:44] this past weekend
[00:26:46] we did two
[00:26:48] one I love when I absolutely hated
[00:26:51] I'll start with the one
[00:26:52] I love first
[00:26:53] silence of the lamps
[00:26:54] I've never seen it
[00:26:57] I know
[00:26:58] it's so good
[00:27:01] I love horror
[00:27:03] when done
[00:27:03] well
[00:27:05] and
[00:27:06] and
[00:27:07] uh
[00:27:10] that was just my introduction
[00:27:11] movies a little bit of everything
[00:27:12] isn't it
[00:27:13] it's a little bit of everything
[00:27:14] uh
[00:27:15] right
[00:27:15] right
[00:27:15] right
[00:27:15] right
[00:27:15] right
[00:27:16] it's like oh yeah
[00:27:17] it's just
[00:27:17] it's just
[00:27:18] it's just
[00:27:18] um
[00:27:19] like a law and order
[00:27:20] cannibalism
[00:27:21] I'm like
[00:27:21] sold
[00:27:22] okay let's go
[00:27:22] haha
[00:27:24] I'm on board
[00:27:25] no
[00:27:25] it was just so good
[00:27:27] Jody Foster
[00:27:28] slays
[00:27:28] this
[00:27:29] yeah oh man
[00:27:29] I was such a big fan
[00:27:30] Jody Foster around that time
[00:27:31] I
[00:27:32] I mean
[00:27:32] I still am
[00:27:33] but I mean
[00:27:33] like
[00:27:33] she had a lot of movies
[00:27:34] yeah
[00:27:35] following her christmas
[00:27:36] isn't the true detective
[00:27:37] right now
[00:27:37] the latest
[00:27:37] isn't the true detective
[00:27:38] she's so good
[00:27:39] in that one too
[00:27:40] yeah
[00:27:41] yeah
[00:27:41] and
[00:27:42] no
[00:27:42] I
[00:27:43] oh I love
[00:27:43] sides of the land
[00:27:44] and now I'm like
[00:27:45] I just want to watch
[00:27:45] the rest of the Hannibal series
[00:27:46] because
[00:27:47] red dragon
[00:27:48] yeah
[00:27:49] it's hard
[00:27:50] you know what
[00:27:51] as a girl
[00:27:51] though
[00:27:51] I can't remember
[00:27:52] the name of it right now
[00:27:53] uh
[00:27:54] mind
[00:27:54] something
[00:27:55] but there
[00:27:56] but there's the first
[00:27:57] santa lam's movie
[00:27:58] which was made before
[00:27:59] santa lam's
[00:28:00] um
[00:28:01] and is not really
[00:28:01] considered part of the thing
[00:28:02] because it doesn't have
[00:28:03] any of the actors or anything
[00:28:04] but it's
[00:28:05] the first version of the red dragon
[00:28:07] story
[00:28:07] in a different
[00:28:08] different film
[00:28:10] gotcha
[00:28:10] gotcha
[00:28:11] yeah
[00:28:12] but
[00:28:12] I love it
[00:28:13] and I think it may be on
[00:28:14] like my top 15 at least
[00:28:16] like I thought was really good
[00:28:17] um
[00:28:18] I don't know the name of the actor
[00:28:19] but the one who played
[00:28:20] the doctor
[00:28:21] oh
[00:28:22] he sees that
[00:28:23] he feels
[00:28:24] yeah I can't
[00:28:24] see if it's any right now
[00:28:25] and then he hop and drink
[00:28:26] you guys have an empty hop
[00:28:27] yeah
[00:28:28] oh my god
[00:28:30] he's got no more places
[00:28:32] I think that Anthony Hopkins
[00:28:33] did it go on play this
[00:28:34] yeah
[00:28:35] I think a song do
[00:28:36] is a good
[00:28:36] good career
[00:28:37] I just get a room
[00:28:39] his name
[00:28:39] um
[00:28:40] yeah
[00:28:41] oh
[00:28:41] me could remember
[00:28:42] ad heres name
[00:28:43] make up calling him
[00:28:44] ad helms
[00:28:44] oh wait
[00:28:44] you don't know why i was doing
[00:28:45] not ad helms
[00:28:47] they're not the same person
[00:28:48] they really aren't
[00:28:49] not
[00:28:50] not
[00:28:50] they didn't hear what the
[00:28:50] blus
[00:28:51] the Oscars
[00:28:53] isn't that what he does every year
[00:28:54] yeah
[00:28:55] what's a biggie junior
[00:28:57] no
[00:28:57] it's different
[00:28:58] that
[00:28:58] one that's with this dog
[00:28:59] why people
[00:28:59] they're all
[00:28:59] they're all ads on
[00:29:04] it's like the other side of that
[00:29:05] coin
[00:29:07] so
[00:29:09] i love pirates
[00:29:11] i tolerate musicals
[00:29:13] sometimes
[00:29:15] so
[00:29:15] ray was like
[00:29:16] let's watch Pirates of Penn Zance
[00:29:18] let's
[00:29:20] yay
[00:29:20] and because like
[00:29:21] I've heard the soundtrack
[00:29:22] it's been on my Pandora
[00:29:24] because i'm a fear
[00:29:25] former theater person
[00:29:26] so of course
[00:29:26] like i heard music
[00:29:27] i'm like do you have music
[00:29:28] lit
[00:29:28] let's watch it
[00:29:30] i was like
[00:29:30] show into it
[00:29:32] until the last like
[00:29:33] 15 minutes
[00:29:35] and then
[00:29:36] like
[00:29:36] the twist
[00:29:37] where everyone was like
[00:29:38] i'm not going to be a pirate
[00:29:39] we're all going to get married
[00:29:40] in the town
[00:29:40] save the government
[00:29:41] and yay
[00:29:41] the military
[00:29:42] i'm like the
[00:29:43] fuck
[00:29:44] what wait
[00:29:44] is this one of the big
[00:29:45] turn
[00:29:46] hold on
[00:29:47] i don't actually know the history
[00:29:48] behind this
[00:29:49] film
[00:29:49] is this one of those things
[00:29:50] like little shop fours
[00:29:52] where they change the ending
[00:29:53] to make it more palatable
[00:29:54] to mass audiences
[00:29:55] oh i don't know
[00:29:56] i don't know
[00:29:57] it's
[00:29:57] it's around that
[00:29:59] it's around that time
[00:30:00] it's like an 84
[00:30:01] 85 film
[00:30:02] yeah
[00:30:02] cuz
[00:30:03] when we shop a horse
[00:30:04] they just flat out
[00:30:05] cut the entire ending
[00:30:06] and gave it a happy ending
[00:30:08] because audiences were sad
[00:30:10] and they didn't want the audience to be sad
[00:30:11] oh
[00:30:12] i guess i've been seeing the happy ending one
[00:30:13] i love the
[00:30:14] the forerithic ending
[00:30:15] of so much
[00:30:16] i love the horse
[00:30:17] yeah
[00:30:18] it is the
[00:30:19] the one you saw
[00:30:20] is the happy ending
[00:30:21] yeah the one you saw is the happy ending
[00:30:23] yeah
[00:30:23] oh well
[00:30:25] it's like
[00:30:26] it's like
[00:30:27] you can have a clip of it
[00:30:28] it's a clip of it
[00:30:29] but i don't think they made it
[00:30:31] version of it where they edited
[00:30:32] the original ending into the movie
[00:30:33] let fan it
[00:30:34] oh
[00:30:36] it's like my
[00:30:37] whole thing with born in East LA
[00:30:39] if i ever get to talk to
[00:30:40] teach marion
[00:30:41] god
[00:30:41] i love it
[00:30:42] like every
[00:30:42] every
[00:30:44] film
[00:30:44] every
[00:30:46] film that you watch
[00:30:47] every copy of it now
[00:30:48] oh
[00:30:48] it cuts off
[00:30:49] like the last 15 minutes of that movie
[00:30:50] oh
[00:30:51] and it just makes it
[00:30:52] like
[00:30:52] like
[00:30:53] un
[00:30:54] there's
[00:30:54] doesn't make any sense
[00:30:55] he goes from being on a hill
[00:30:57] to getting married
[00:30:58] the next scene over
[00:30:58] like there was a whole other
[00:31:00] thing that happened
[00:31:01] between that
[00:31:01] yeah
[00:31:02] oh yeah
[00:31:03] so
[00:31:03] yeah
[00:31:04] that changes
[00:31:05] films
[00:31:06] but i'm glad you watch the good movie though
[00:31:08] yeah
[00:31:09] do you know what else is on the list
[00:31:11] there's so many
[00:31:12] i
[00:31:12] i
[00:31:13] uh
[00:31:14] i think the last samurai is one
[00:31:16] that they really want to
[00:31:17] i'm sorry
[00:31:20] yeah
[00:31:21] i'm being sarcastic
[00:31:22] it's actually a
[00:31:23] no kidding movie
[00:31:24] it's a fun movie
[00:31:25] it's actually a good movie
[00:31:27] it's just
[00:31:28] one of those movies
[00:31:28] it was like
[00:31:29] did you
[00:31:30] did you need to make that
[00:31:30] i don't know
[00:31:32] well i
[00:31:32] it's just
[00:31:32] it's hard with me
[00:31:33] because like i'm so
[00:31:34] i don't
[00:31:35] i don't have
[00:31:35] like a favorite genre
[00:31:37] i don't have it this
[00:31:37] but i'm very much
[00:31:38] if i don't like it
[00:31:39] i'm
[00:31:39] i'm going to say i don't like it
[00:31:41] and
[00:31:42] yeah
[00:31:43] so we'll see
[00:31:43] we'll see
[00:31:44] to tune in
[00:31:45] tune in next week

[00:31:48] i don't want to make it
[00:31:49] there we go
[00:31:50] elia
[00:31:50] hey you're consuming
[00:31:51] your stuff
[00:31:52] we're excited about that
[00:31:53] let's talk about what we've been watching
[00:31:55] and
[00:31:56] one of the big things this week
[00:31:58] that we've been talking about
[00:31:59] offline here
[00:32:00] and kind of
[00:32:01] mean elia
[00:32:02] and kevin too
[00:32:03] he did some of the homework
[00:32:05] i did
[00:32:05] um
[00:32:06] is
[00:32:07] the documentary
[00:32:08] the
[00:32:10] idea discovery
[00:32:13] documentary
[00:32:14] four-part documentary
[00:32:15] ton max
[00:32:16] called quiet on set
[00:32:18] which brings up a lot
[00:32:19] of the
[00:32:21] if you are
[00:32:22] from this era
[00:32:23] mean elia
[00:32:24] kind of shared an interest in it
[00:32:26] of
[00:32:26] nick
[00:32:27] and a disney channel
[00:32:28] and
[00:32:28] 90s
[00:32:29] you know live action tv shows
[00:32:31] geared towards kids
[00:32:32] and animation
[00:32:34] you've already known
[00:32:35] some of this stuff
[00:32:36] has been alleged
[00:32:37] about you know
[00:32:38] fanc nighter
[00:32:39] and the whole
[00:32:40] nick crew
[00:32:41] that ran all these shows
[00:32:42] like the Amanda show
[00:32:43] drinking josh
[00:32:44] icarly
[00:32:45] everything from
[00:32:48] images of feet
[00:32:49] to
[00:32:51] kids being put in tough
[00:32:52] predicaments
[00:32:52] but
[00:32:53] won't dig into that
[00:32:54] but the documentary came out
[00:32:56] and
[00:32:57] it was a four-part
[00:32:58] and they don't
[00:32:59] it is a buzz
[00:33:00] you know because this is the first time
[00:33:01] that it's actually been
[00:33:03] put in a format
[00:33:04] film that's actually been seen
[00:33:06] mass release
[00:33:07] that wasn't somebody's youtube essay
[00:33:09] or you know here's
[00:33:10] day
[00:33:10] things like that right
[00:33:12] because i am
[00:33:14] a literal old man
[00:33:16] and the oldest one in the group
[00:33:19] these shows were all kind of
[00:33:20] after my time as far as
[00:33:22] watching
[00:33:23] Nickelodeon
[00:33:24] but i did watch
[00:33:26] icarly because i was
[00:33:27] teaching high school
[00:33:27] and i wanted to see what the kids were seeing
[00:33:30] and i thought
[00:33:31] at the time that it was fairly well written
[00:33:33] but i kind of
[00:33:34] literally glossed over a lot of the scenes
[00:33:36] that are very obviously there
[00:33:40] and you mentioned youtube reviews
[00:33:41] i've been watching this channel called quinton reviews
[00:33:44] where he does these three and four
[00:33:46] and five hour essays about tv shows
[00:33:48] and he did several about that era
[00:33:51] and in each of the episodes
[00:33:52] each of his is like deep dags
[00:33:54] he's talking about
[00:33:55] the shows and like
[00:33:57] subtext and all the sips there
[00:33:59] but whenever you would get to the topic
[00:34:00] of the producer he'd say
[00:34:03] that's for somebody more qualified
[00:34:04] than me to talk about
[00:34:05] but we're putting that aside
[00:34:06] you know and i respect that
[00:34:08] this documentary
[00:34:11] was that more qualified person
[00:34:12] to talk about it
[00:34:13] i guess
[00:34:14] so yeah these are the
[00:34:15] agreed that's a great way to put it
[00:34:16] because
[00:34:18] i mean
[00:34:20] elia
[00:34:21] me and you talked about it
[00:34:22] we kind of joke about certain scenarios
[00:34:25] but reality like this stuff is pretty serious
[00:34:27] that was pretty hard
[00:34:28] you know and it triggers a lot of people's
[00:34:31] emotions
[00:34:32] and if it's not something you're interested in
[00:34:34] definitely don't watch it at all
[00:34:35] i mean it's not going to take you
[00:34:37] to the floor
[00:34:38] make your major like
[00:34:40] but
[00:34:42] those that are interested
[00:34:43] those that are informed right
[00:34:44] all it did was
[00:34:45] shine more of a light on
[00:34:48] the things that we've already been
[00:34:49] digging into and listening to
[00:34:51] and watching right
[00:34:52] and the biggest
[00:34:53] other producers didn't want to talk about
[00:34:56] exactly and the one thing that
[00:34:58] through me just through me and elia
[00:34:59] of chime in here because i'm going to
[00:35:00] start this gobbling up time but
[00:35:02] well dude
[00:35:03] what do you get me to start i'm not gonna shut up
[00:35:05] i like
[00:35:06] in heaven you know you saw some of it too
[00:35:09] i can't get over
[00:35:11] some of the things that these actors
[00:35:15] were forced to do or expected to do
[00:35:18] just to be on the producers
[00:35:20] whoever decided a good side
[00:35:22] and to be on television
[00:35:24] and yeah
[00:35:27] i'm not gonna go explicit
[00:35:28] but i'm just saying things like nose boy
[00:35:31] you know
[00:35:31] it goes up
[00:35:32] there
[00:35:33] that was so low
[00:35:34] and the idea is that you'd have an agent
[00:35:37] tell the mother
[00:35:38] just go along with it for your kids career
[00:35:41] yeah
[00:35:42] the fact that that was repetitive and like
[00:35:44] i know you only watched the first two episodes
[00:35:47] or not even but like
[00:35:48] yeah i watched for
[00:35:49] yeah
[00:35:49] just
[00:35:50] it kept going all these parts like i didn't want to
[00:35:53] i didn't want to harm my child's reputation i didn't want to
[00:35:55] hurt their chances at
[00:35:57] at more roles bigger things i'm like
[00:36:00] so
[00:36:01] here's what makes it surprise you
[00:36:04] i expected that part i knew a lot of that part of the story from other
[00:36:09] things
[00:36:10] what i didn't expect and this is going to sound kind of weird
[00:36:14] were the adult victims
[00:36:15] like i knew about the kid victims which is why i was already kind of
[00:36:18] put off by this but like
[00:36:20] the
[00:36:21] this is the writers
[00:36:22] he's the writer
[00:36:23] this this this with these shows were made
[00:36:26] in an era when sexual harassment was a buzzword
[00:36:29] it wasn't the me too movement yet
[00:36:31] but it was already fully aware that this was a thing
[00:36:35] and yet
[00:36:37] nothing had happened
[00:36:38] like it was they like the world knew
[00:36:41] that this is a problem
[00:36:43] and that supposedly businesses everywhere were looking for it
[00:36:46] and it
[00:36:47] it didn't make a difference
[00:36:49] and that's
[00:36:50] two women writers
[00:36:51] and more writers that were in there
[00:36:53] and again
[00:36:54] we're talking about it in this
[00:36:55] in
[00:36:56] we're typically touring around it but we're going to spoil stuff
[00:36:57] if you're going to go watch it watch it and enjoy it
[00:36:59] or wouldn't try to avoid
[00:37:00] it's not even spoilers at this point
[00:37:02] this is reality
[00:37:02] yeah it's just
[00:37:04] the story is just that
[00:37:05] they put it all together one place
[00:37:07] yeah the two women writers the fact that
[00:37:10] just
[00:37:11] beyond the obnoxious and discussing stuff they had to go through right
[00:37:15] but the fact that just walking into as a business
[00:37:19] they're like oh hey you're going to share a salary
[00:37:22] between these two women had to share a salary
[00:37:26] and then the minute that one of them reported it
[00:37:29] they laid one off
[00:37:31] and the way they talked about it
[00:37:33] it wasn't even necessarily reporting
[00:37:35] it's just that it came up in conversation which is going to happen
[00:37:39] and because everyone played dirty
[00:37:42] yeah i don't know
[00:37:44] I think
[00:37:45] so i've been following
[00:37:48] the Nickelodeon
[00:37:51] that behind the scenes scandal stuff since like
[00:37:55] probably like 2015 around 2015
[00:37:58] when like Amanda Binds first started like
[00:38:01] showing
[00:38:02] showing out in public after her break down
[00:38:05] and all that
[00:38:06] and no one was believing her
[00:38:09] so she she went down where she went
[00:38:12] and it sucks because it's like
[00:38:14] did i grew up Nickelodeon was what i grew up with
[00:38:17] because like i didn't get Disney Channel
[00:38:19] until like around the time Hannah Montana came out
[00:38:20] that was like the rich people channel
[00:38:23] so i grew up with Nickelodeon
[00:38:25] all that was one of my favorite shows
[00:38:28] is my dream to be on all that
[00:38:30] i love the Amanda show
[00:38:31] Amanda Binds
[00:38:32] i like i wanted to be her
[00:38:34] like just a girl in comedy
[00:38:36] she's got her own show
[00:38:37] she's doing funny roles
[00:38:40] and so once i started hearing
[00:38:42] like this is all that was happening
[00:38:44] like at the expense of them providing
[00:38:47] happiness for our childhood
[00:38:49] my heart just like
[00:38:52] out of my chest it's like
[00:38:54] what?
[00:38:55] you know um
[00:38:57] and like uh like Drake Bell
[00:38:59] Drake Drake Bell
[00:39:01] yeah like about Drake Bell
[00:39:03] oh my god so Drake's journey has been a
[00:39:06] drink
[00:39:07] and then before this doc came out
[00:39:09] and everything came out
[00:39:10] about what happened with him
[00:39:14] he
[00:39:17] he was definitely like someone
[00:39:19] someone that like you know the girl
[00:39:20] leaves looked up to
[00:39:21] you know
[00:39:22] he was he was a stud
[00:39:23] he was
[00:39:24] everything and then he just like
[00:39:26] disappeared off the face of the planet
[00:39:29] again no one knew anything
[00:39:30] about what had happened
[00:39:32] and then
[00:39:33] oh god no camera just got blurry
[00:39:36] what's that?
[00:39:36] take a second
[00:39:37] what it is it's a dramatic filter
[00:39:40] as you see
[00:39:41] no it's the drama
[00:39:42] oh yeah it's the most
[00:39:44] drama
[00:39:44] the camera says no
[00:39:49] yeah
[00:39:49] as soon as you say drink bell
[00:39:51] if fun
[00:39:51] i know the camera was like
[00:39:53] no no no no no
[00:39:54] not great um
[00:39:56] i know not great bell
[00:39:57] and like
[00:39:58] once i graduated from like high school
[00:40:00] i kind of like forgotten about
[00:40:02] like the whole Nickworld
[00:40:03] you know i had to be my adult self
[00:40:05] and then
[00:40:06] all this stuff just started popping up
[00:40:07] again and it made me want to like look up
[00:40:09] what's everyone up to now
[00:40:11] and i found out that Drake
[00:40:12] had been accused of many things
[00:40:16] which submitted it being true
[00:40:17] i still will hold adult drink accountable
[00:40:19] for those absolutely
[00:40:20] but yeah
[00:40:21] but like he had moved to mexico
[00:40:24] and we branded himself as
[00:40:26] Drake Dampana
[00:40:28] and like with the literal translation
[00:40:30] i'm like what is going on
[00:40:32] like this happening
[00:40:34] Drake is in mexico
[00:40:35] Drake is a mexico and superstar
[00:40:37] a pop music
[00:40:38] i'm like okay
[00:40:39] and like he still is
[00:40:40] he still primarily
[00:40:41] has a mexico and veys
[00:40:43] but i was just like what is going on
[00:40:45] this is weird
[00:40:46] and then of course the court cases pop up
[00:40:48] everything and i don't know
[00:40:50] he always from the moment i rediscovered him
[00:40:53] and like this was like 2020
[00:40:55] because it was like during the pandemic
[00:40:56] when these cases started popping up
[00:40:58] it was always creepy
[00:40:59] yeah and it was like something's up
[00:41:01] something's up
[00:41:03] never did i think that
[00:41:04] that that was what was
[00:41:06] what happened as soon as they got to the end of episode two
[00:41:09] they were describing everything
[00:41:11] in detail about a specific child
[00:41:13] onset having encountered
[00:41:16] very
[00:41:17] very unspeakable acts from
[00:41:20] of like a 42-year-old
[00:41:22] production person
[00:41:23] and they were describing all these things
[00:41:24] and i'm just sitting there mortified
[00:41:26] and they're like yeah this was a kid on the show
[00:41:28] and then lo and behold Drake comes out
[00:41:30] in it with him and i'm like
[00:41:32] yeah mine blown
[00:41:33] whoa
[00:41:34] that was him
[00:41:36] and so at the end of the day
[00:41:38] he talked about it
[00:41:39] like in the later episodes
[00:41:40] he just started getting therapy
[00:41:42] like my man's like 37
[00:41:44] and that was something he dealt with him
[00:41:46] he was 15 14 15
[00:41:49] yeah that's what happens when you don't break the cycle
[00:41:51] and you don't get help
[00:41:52] none of these kids had had like no adults
[00:41:56] except for maybe a couple that caught it late
[00:41:59] at like protecting them
[00:42:00] and i think that's something crazy about the industry
[00:42:03] i don't know if it's better now
[00:42:05] because i'm not part of that world
[00:42:07] but like back then
[00:42:09] all like most of the kids that were providing
[00:42:11] entertainment for us
[00:42:13] were going through it
[00:42:14] and no one was there to protect them
[00:42:16] and i don't know if there still is anyone to protect them
[00:42:18] like i know what it is
[00:42:19] the documentary out is out
[00:42:20] yeah i was
[00:42:23] no and i'm sorry to stop you but i think you're just hitting right now
[00:42:26] because i'm like
[00:42:27] we get so impacted by it because i think there's a little bit of guilt
[00:42:32] as an adult
[00:42:33] as having this thing back and thinking
[00:42:36] yeah exactly
[00:42:36] yeah
[00:42:38] i enjoyed this and because i enjoyed it
[00:42:42] it perpetuated it and
[00:42:44] and it makes me feel that way is like damn
[00:42:47] i want to ask you know i want to ask a really difficult question
[00:42:51] and the thing is is that even before this
[00:42:54] even before i lost it as well known
[00:42:57] going back to the Wizard of Oz
[00:42:59] it was well known that
[00:43:02] child stars are not going to have a great career in the future
[00:43:06] and now that's not everybody
[00:43:08] there are those exceptions
[00:43:09] you know the Elijah Woods out there
[00:43:10] you know people that were child stars
[00:43:11] did well later
[00:43:13] but
[00:43:17] but
[00:43:20] is there a need
[00:43:22] for
[00:43:24] child actors
[00:43:26] for a child audience
[00:43:28] like like in other words
[00:43:31] obviously there needs to be safeguards
[00:43:32] obviously there needs to be more protection
[00:43:33] it needs to be more oversight
[00:43:35] like
[00:43:36] you know
[00:43:37] they would be there people try to get around the oversight of the working hours
[00:43:40] because children are not supposed to work certain hours
[00:43:41] people get around that
[00:43:42] they're higher twins right
[00:43:44] they put a school up on the hour
[00:43:45] they put a school in there say
[00:43:47] technically the school hours are here all that kind of stuff
[00:43:49] yeah but the thing is is that like
[00:43:52] is it one of those things where we should just say
[00:43:54] know this industry shouldn't exist
[00:43:57] or should it exist in some form
[00:44:00] for those younger audiences like you guys were when you were kids
[00:44:04] you know it's it i think it's possible that you don't need kids
[00:44:07] we've got the wiggles right now
[00:44:09] all adults
[00:44:10] you've got i don't know what her name is
[00:44:12] but the one that like
[00:44:14] talks to kids on tiktok or youtube
[00:44:17] she's been
[00:44:18] i don't know her name
[00:44:19] but she
[00:44:20] i mean she's a
[00:44:20] grown-ass woman
[00:44:22] but like you have a gabbagabas and stuff like that
[00:44:25] yeah
[00:44:26] that was
[00:44:26] didn't
[00:44:27] need kids there
[00:44:28] yeah so
[00:44:29] it's possible
[00:44:30] that segment with kids but
[00:44:32] yeah
[00:44:33] and like i get once you get to like
[00:44:35] television like sitcom television there's there'd be kids that
[00:44:37] exist in environments
[00:44:39] but that's why like
[00:44:40] there needs to be
[00:44:43] there needs to be responsible adults
[00:44:45] that protect children but and it's not just like
[00:44:48] the entertainment industry lots of
[00:44:50] lots of things do not protect the safety of children
[00:44:53] like it's like no one cares about children
[00:44:56] once they're born you know
[00:44:58] that people care so much about the children and then
[00:45:00] it's like okay
[00:45:02] it's up to the panes
[00:45:03] i think you have an idea
[00:45:03] human
[00:45:05] statement is
[00:45:06] it's big man because if you think about it
[00:45:08] i'd say
[00:45:10] that we go back and kind of dial it back and go okay for the basic
[00:45:14] security
[00:45:16] the way things are even grown as adults don't have protections after
[00:45:19] times speaking about mental abuse
[00:45:21] and how you treat it emotionally look at the writers in the writers room
[00:45:24] you know all that like that type of treatment
[00:45:27] but if i'm going to write a movie
[00:45:29] and it happens to include a family that has a kid
[00:45:33] now i got to write it out and i go well
[00:45:35] am i losing something because i don't have the kid in this shot
[00:45:38] i mean how well i was still playing a teenager when he was 27 so
[00:45:43] okay a teenager but if i need a teenager
[00:45:46] you know everyone on glee was like at least 30
[00:45:49] no yeah i'm gonna hit this street
[00:45:52] i think it's one of those things that
[00:45:55] we know exists
[00:45:57] like that that that veil the behind the curtain and you
[00:46:00] get from ancient wizard of us like that that curtain of like
[00:46:03] there's stuff going on behind it you don't want to see
[00:46:06] and we know that it's there and we've all accepted that it's there
[00:46:09] sadly it's there i don't know
[00:46:14] i don't know the right answer to be real with you because i'm
[00:46:17] it's because there's like no heart in hollywood
[00:46:20] you know
[00:46:22] and it i don't know
[00:46:24] it once you once you enter hollywood an entertainment
[00:46:27] money it's money feelings
[00:46:32] personal home personal space i feel like
[00:46:35] as long as the movie gets made everything is at the expense of it
[00:46:39] it's just like you know i don't know i think that we'll
[00:46:45] will we visit this stuff on the line i know that it's something that i mean
[00:46:48] it's just there it's something that's out there in the conversation
[00:46:51] and it stinks that
[00:46:54] this has happened and happening to some extent i mean i
[00:47:00] really not as it was but like
[00:47:05] it's not hard to believe that that kid actress today still face
[00:47:09] hurdles and it's definitely not hard to believe
[00:47:12] that females in male dominated industries
[00:47:16] don't still face her goals
[00:47:20] i'll say as like a little like peace ending is like
[00:47:25] if you're one of the type of people it's like well i want to hear so and so
[00:47:28] story i want to hear so and so sorry no one's entitled to it
[00:47:31] people will share it when they're when they're comfortable
[00:47:34] um yeah but at the end of the day celebrities are people too
[00:47:39] they don't need to be worshiped but they do need your respect that's my
[00:47:42] perspective on it but i'm just a humble little
[00:47:45] little Dallas girl
[00:47:49] you pretty much look good girl but you're also a masterful comic artist
[00:47:53] so your opinions are valid very valid very valid
[00:47:58] pretty well let's take a quick break get a drink get some water some tea
[00:48:02] some coffee whatever you like and we'll be right back
[00:48:46] so
[00:49:09] welcome back bimos thanks so much for hanging in there with us
[00:49:12] we're on the other side of that storm i don't know i don't know how to
[00:49:17] take with the ex-med kevin well here we are like it is raining where i'm
[00:49:20] at in texas it's been raining where you guys aren't
[00:49:22] texas we are a small state you know i know but there is rain everywhere
[00:49:27] tiny the tiny texas apparently so oh yeah
[00:49:31] you need to hear too yeah apparently uh but kevin garcia
[00:49:36] says me and you are big marble fans and alia is like
[00:49:40] have i ever talked about marble crown before i don't remember
[00:49:43] i don't think how do you like marble i mean
[00:49:46] i mean i do like for you to assume
[00:49:51] i don't want to see my fandom
[00:49:55] okay you know what let me be quiet let me back up
[00:49:58] i like comic books and cartoons whoa
[00:50:01] yo i'm not a nerd put them down yeah i got my i got my little green claws ready
[00:50:08] hey yeah whoa you literally have claws okay but you don't be so
[00:50:13] cool though if you like did cup ops with those
[00:50:17] you know um do that hey like legit
[00:50:23] like those yeah metal yeah yeah this is metal
[00:50:27] is your metal claws you can legally no country
[00:50:30] those in texas yes you can yeah you can
[00:50:36] i'm impressed to think i see uh so we're talking about x-men 97
[00:50:41] so what's Kevin Garcia's excited about it
[00:50:44] like luffy things as alia media does but i have a few of these things
[00:50:49] she has chopper things and buggy things
[00:50:51] chopper things
[00:50:54] yeah x-men 97 came out this one was a man
[00:50:57] people have been excited about alia most of all has been
[00:51:00] chopping at the bit saying she really wants to see
[00:51:02] x-men because it's her whole life right alia is that is that great i love
[00:51:06] x-men so much um oh yes the look of the paint in your face as you say that
[00:51:12] can you name can you name uh three x-men not including Wolverine
[00:51:16] oh okay hold on hold on uh let's see
[00:51:23] was was Samuel Jackson one of them
[00:51:26] no but he could have been you know i'm not a margol
[00:51:32] person i think that's okay that's okay so i'll be with one
[00:51:37] honestly alia i'm glad you said that because that's actually part of my
[00:51:41] concern because here's the thing the cartoon's great it's a really great
[00:51:45] show they did an amazing job picking up where the previous show left off
[00:51:49] and they both have updated animation and yet it's still very much
[00:51:53] inspired by the older animation but i feel like this is a very specific
[00:51:59] audience they're going for like they're just going for those 30 to 45
[00:52:04] year old to grew up with x-men cartoons what about younger demographics
[00:52:11] i feel like there's there's a lot of other again i'm not
[00:52:15] wanting to look and get forced to the mouth i am a massive fan of this i
[00:52:18] watched every episode when it came out when i was kid i remember there was i
[00:52:21] think it was the fourth season that they aired in prime time on friday
[00:52:26] night the premiere and i was like oh it must be good if they're gonna give it a
[00:52:29] up at prime time then you had more locks show up and lady that's dry and i was
[00:52:33] like oh it's intense and um and the thing is is that
[00:52:38] that's cool for me and people that within you know a few years of me but
[00:52:42] at the same time what about you know
[00:52:46] there's always this is solid before you know they'll watch it with me
[00:52:50] well fair but like i do feel like i didn't
[00:52:55] i'm with you kevin stepping on your on your point i think but okay go ahead
[00:52:58] um i'll be the chikomi uh the night um
[00:53:03] what i'm cheating taste i agree with you because me and my wife
[00:53:06] grew up with it and we didn't have this is the thing though like going a little bit
[00:53:11] back on friday conversation i didn't get to watch next stuff to a way later
[00:53:15] because i didn't have cable at all yes so i would watch the stuff they would allow
[00:53:18] on because they would they would allow some nix shows to go on regular syndication on tv
[00:53:23] yeah they would actually like pay for certain episodes i watch them on tv we have it but fox
[00:53:27] everybody have fox so i will watch that but my but my kid watched the first episode for example
[00:53:34] and he's like hmm the animations like wisers is filtered that i just don't
[00:53:40] don't kind of mesh with i said okay i see it yeah i wish it was more saturated you know
[00:53:45] he wanted a little brighter because it's it lends itself to a very 80s 90s aesthetic you want
[00:53:49] go sharp on a color the animation is what your memory tells you the animation look like
[00:53:56] like it's not actually what it looked like in the 80s 90s but it's what you you want to think
[00:54:01] it did when you look back on your memories so they did a good job with that so that
[00:54:05] you know he said it looks like a weird filter he said yeah but he sat through the first episode
[00:54:10] like you said exactly earlier you're not unless you watched the whole series it literally picks up
[00:54:16] right after that series ends yep and so you walk in like what did i walk into so my son though
[00:54:24] i had to say what them and go oh this this is what happened this is master mode
[00:54:29] this is what that is i think give him a abbreviated little tidbit so when episode two happened
[00:54:34] he was actually in he's like whoa yeah this is the perfect quick they do catch you up i'd grant them
[00:54:40] that you don't have to watch the old show to get it part of that helps that it's been like 12
[00:54:45] months in in universe since the last episode so they can have an excuse to talk about things that
[00:54:50] happened so it so that works out um also there's also weird little updates like uh storm has a
[00:54:58] very cool he's got her kind of mohawk haircuts with storm yes i know storm has a very nice
[00:55:05] side and then another one at the very worst one is bishop and bishop actually has a slightly more
[00:55:11] modern haircut than he had at the time which makes sense because he's a town traveler so he can have
[00:55:17] a haircut from the future um anyway but yeah and also they've updated characters like like jubilee
[00:55:23] actually looks chinese now like she looks like a real human being and not like a cartoon white girl
[00:55:28] whose last name is leo you know there's an angel too right okay okay um
[00:55:39] uh someone did a wheelchair okay okay um
[00:55:47] um he's from he's from sorry
[00:55:49] sorry
[00:55:50] okay yeah got that one uh okay so
[00:55:55] alibary
[00:55:57] Patrick Stewart you're thinking of
[00:55:59] Patrick Stewart
[00:56:00] i was muted like anything angel the angel
[00:56:06] oh oh uh robe robe yes
[00:56:13] i do one more and then i passed the test remember
[00:56:16] we're not going to do it
[00:56:19] you are a real marvel fan in the sense that you are a fan of hot culture and we accept you
[00:56:24] oh and i was gonna ask as someone who didn't
[00:56:29] consume x-men if i sat down to watch this series
[00:56:34] do i need like watch or read any predecessors honestly let me ask you one question
[00:56:39] as somebody who doesn't watch or consume the series do you know who magnito is
[00:56:46] is that the guy in the wheelchair no the guy in the wheelchair is professor x he's Patrick Stewart
[00:56:51] okay but we got that he's always playing chess within the movies that's magnito
[00:56:56] okay
[00:56:58] so yeah helmet guy yeah so the issue it was gandalf isn't he
[00:57:04] because the character you'd have to get into is that um they explain a lot of it to you
[00:57:08] but one of the things they don't explain to new viewers is that they have a long history with
[00:57:14] this guy magnito he was their main enemy for all like since these guys were the characters in
[00:57:19] universe were 15 years old to being 30 years old magnito was their main enemy so imagine 15 years
[00:57:24] of your life fighting this guy and it turns out he was at one point in time best friends with
[00:57:30] their teacher slash father figure and now that their teacher slash father figure is apparently dead
[00:57:35] out of the picture he asked in his will magnito can you take care of my family so basically these
[00:57:42] guys are being told um you know the enemy that you've spent your entire life training to fight
[00:57:50] is now your new dad and it's okay you know what plot I like it there you go that's plot right
[00:57:59] there yeah my son once he understood the basics from episode one and what because they do a good
[00:58:07] job of an example rogue right yeah if I haven't if I touch somebody they'll pass out and I'll
[00:58:12] you know they literally explain everybody's power sorry i'm laughing because the writer that made
[00:58:18] X-Men famous in the 80s Chris Claremont he was famous for literally explaining everybody's powers
[00:58:24] in every single issue so robo crop if I touch you sugar i'm gonna do this and then
[00:58:29] little next next episode if I touch you sugar it would happen like this every every
[00:58:34] issue would do that so it's kind of funny they call it Claremont it's pretty to watch
[00:58:40] it's very pretty to watch um Kevin is it because it's 2024 that I don't have that I'm like
[00:58:48] hold on Wolverine's missing some abs because they they they they I remember him being very fit
[00:58:56] and then now I'm like well and the old show they had him a little bit shiny whenever he was
[00:59:01] shirtless and and now they're shiny that he's got body hair so it's a little bit different
[00:59:06] whereas gambit is the new shirtless guy for this series so yeah yeah um just so well it's pretty
[00:59:14] to watch. Well having their weight in the wall drawn well well animated a lot of the computer and
[00:59:20] hand drawn stuff mixed together it looks really good uh so yeah I would definitely check it out
[00:59:25] if you're curious about it if they don't get you by episode two it's not for you it's fine
[00:59:30] that's fair i will say that the original show tried to get into some of the more mature themes
[00:59:37] that like say batman the animated series very successfully did and it never quite got to that level
[00:59:43] i think with this this revival series they're definitely doing that um they're definitely getting
[00:59:48] into those more mature themes not making an adult cartoon it's still a family oriented cartoon but
[00:59:53] like definitely dealing with those family those mature themes rather um I will say though if Marvel is
[00:59:59] going to bring back any show I really want them to bring back Avengers Earth might as heroes
[01:00:04] that was a cartoon that came out between the first Avengers movie and it was cancelled right before
[01:00:09] Age of Ultron came out and it only had two seasons and they were like the best two seasons of
[01:00:14] animation that Marvel had ever done and it got cancelled just because some higher-up producer was
[01:00:19] like we need a new show that promote Age of Ultron and that was such a dumb idea uh it was such
[01:00:24] I just need biker mice from Mars to come back on TV. Grant I mean that goes without saying
[01:00:29] that means I don't know i don't think there's anyone on the giant mice on motorcycles
[01:00:36] a biker but you get a little antennas lighting a guy who lives in a giant house made of cheese
[01:00:42] I mean when you are when they are both anthropomorphic mice and they have antennas to point out
[01:00:47] that they're from from Mars it's everything you need in a show.
[01:00:50] Plotaneous that's all it takes that's all it takes man I mean because my kid and we were talking
[01:00:55] we're like what cartoons did you watch growing up and he's like I watched a lot more cartoon
[01:00:59] network than I did. I need to talk about street sharks. Street sharks get ready buckle up
[01:01:06] street sharks uh yeah anyways I mean biker mice from Mars street sharks that was my youth too
[01:01:14] uh ninja turtles of course but
[01:01:18] x97 i mean to be real like it really hits the nostalgia button pretty hard and uh
[01:01:23] i enjoy my wife enjoyed it and she's a tough cookie sometimes with stuff she's like I'm not
[01:01:28] bothering with this you can enjoy it all you want she's like i'm not watching this but here we are
[01:01:34] x-men. I like it like and plus I even said something to my son i was like and this is where if
[01:01:43] you're a fan you're gonna get in chemist gonna get it where before the ending of the second episode
[01:01:47] i'm like well we started talking about oh magneto right okay he's trying to leave and i go oh
[01:01:52] but you have him it's mr sinister and then we get the reveal of somebody showing up and i'm like oh
[01:02:00] that's where we're going with this so. Well the other thing I want to say is even if you're
[01:02:04] like a casual fan if you like storm and you want to see storm at her most goddess level watch episode
[01:02:13] you know and if you want to see storm at her most emotionally intense watch episode two
[01:02:20] these are reasons to watch the show it's kind of very good I'll check it out if you're a fan and not
[01:02:25] maybe just give it an episode or two and if you don't catch on with me my thing is that with
[01:02:31] anime right if i if you can't give me a hook by the third episode i'm not watching you anymore
[01:02:35] that's just a rule for me. I got i gotta say for you to get out as somebody who is a big
[01:02:41] convoc nerd and i have read too many of these ex-man comics over the years. I don't even
[01:02:45] say you have like a plaque to show it but yeah well i've got claws but the thing is is that
[01:02:52] um i you know the old series did a really good job of representing classic
[01:02:57] storylines they did like dark phoenix and stuff like that they they even tried to redo some specific
[01:03:04] scenes but it's really neat seeing other things that that maybe we're coming out around the 90s or
[01:03:08] maybe earlier that haven't addressed yet getting addressed like there's a really big story involving
[01:03:13] storm that the second i saw it i was like oh they're gonna tell that story and then there's a big
[01:03:18] thing with rogue in the comics there was a will they won't they with rogue and magneto for a while
[01:03:24] in the comics which is you know 80 year old guy and 22 year old girl it happens right but um
[01:03:30] but it was actually believable in the comics and the idea that there's stuff under the surface
[01:03:35] in the cartoons that's really cool and then hey i got to do uh i got to see a character that i
[01:03:40] wrote about from marvel handbooks in animation for the first time the you know that's cool so
[01:03:47] definitely i think this i'm the audience of this show hey awesome enjoy it pretty much let kevin
[01:03:56] karsia underscore calm no your thoughts but rolling into the end of the show pretty much
[01:04:04] we usually at this point talk about our hyper fixations are obsessions this week or over really
[01:04:11] into this week and mr kevin karsia says you were out last week you'll present first young man
[01:04:20] you know i feel like we've already talked about most of my pop culture obsessions for this week
[01:04:24] you know tv shows movies that kind of stuff i'm not really doing any video games right now i've
[01:04:29] had a lot of that kind of free time but in terms of stuff in the world that's on my mind this week
[01:04:34] ai you know okay uh you know i i have a creator a writer that i know that's been posting a lot
[01:04:44] of ai images which has been annoying a lot of people of why are you doing this when you work with
[01:04:48] artists um and then i'm in and some online discussion groups about obscure complot characters
[01:04:54] and a lot of times people in these groups will hire artists like i've done to draw a picture of a
[01:04:59] character and there's several people that are like well what's wrong with just posting an art so one
[01:05:03] person actually asked that say hey those you guys that are anti-i can you explain why
[01:05:09] so i did i put this big long response and they basically said well you're wrong and then
[01:05:14] deleted the post because i expected well i mean i expected it actually saved my response anyway
[01:05:20] because i had a feeling that was going to happen um and so then i decided to post it on
[01:05:25] on tiktok and and and just say well this is me posting now so i i know you won't delete it um
[01:05:30] and it's just as one of those things where it's like when people say that they're against AI art
[01:05:37] it's not that AI can't be used in art because we've been using it for years you know we use it
[01:05:43] every time you have auto-corrector or your sentence prediction that's that's that's AI
[01:05:48] you know there's all kinds of things but the issue is if let's say you just said well i just
[01:05:55] have this idea i want to see what it looks like so you're going to go into AI and get it
[01:05:58] well great i you're like always gonna spend money on it fine but the second you posted online
[01:06:03] you're basically telling people hey look at this cool thing i had a computer do and that's
[01:06:11] if you were ever in a situation where you would have hired an artist you've already tested out
[01:06:14] and said you're not going to uh and somebody else sees that and says oh i don't have to hire an artist
[01:06:18] either we've fully gotten to this world where humans are gonna continue doing manual labor
[01:06:24] and robots are gonna be writing poetry and making art and i don't know if that's the world i want
[01:06:31] to be in no i'd agree i think that AI is something that is useful in certain situations but when
[01:06:41] you start by creating art or writing the next bloomhouse movie like i feel imaginary i was um
[01:06:49] you see the cracks in in the work and how could we be creative and support each other when we
[01:06:57] just let a machine do it it loses soul because everything you create has soul and AI doesn't have that
[01:07:03] it's also not regulated either it's not being sourced ethically um AI is being trained by stolen art
[01:07:13] it is and i i don't agree um i heard the argument oh well little kids will trace art that's
[01:07:20] how they learn to draw it's true but a little kid is a human and a human is going to be making
[01:07:25] stuff and in the future in the future computers maybe humans too but right now
[01:07:30] you know and and that's not the same thing every piece of art that was used there unless those
[01:07:37] artists explicitly said yeah i want to use my art to train a computer um that's you know
[01:07:43] not what happened yeah what about you what's uh the obsession this week uh oh so um besides trying
[01:07:52] to consume uh i think that i was supposed to this week um i get on tic talk a lot uh and like
[01:08:00] that's like my wide-angle fur bed i got to watch some some silly short form comedy to kind of
[01:08:06] wipe myself down and i've stumbled upon and i've shown Freddy the tic-tocs um of this realtor

[01:08:31] he he goes through the houses and just like starts describing them but he uses like uh

[01:11:30] bugging elia about it uh thirsty suitors so this is a dating sim and it's awesome because
[01:11:38] there you play a eastern indian woman she has a breakup and instead of coming back home having to
[01:11:46] navigate dealing with her mom her dad her sister and a bunch of evil exes you know and it's a
[01:11:55] role-playing dating sim but it's also you skate you do skating challenges in the game uh you fight
[01:12:01] it out you summon your mom with a giant chocolate i hit the the suitors um it's it's bright colors
[01:12:09] it's good music it's a lot of fun a lot of cheeky stuff so i'm looking at everything now that
[01:12:14] looks like so much fun it's so it's hilarious dialogue it's all voice acted every piece of dialogue is
[01:12:21] voice acted um it's just so well done and i'm really enjoying them by halfway through it
[01:12:26] and i'm building up my because you can choose between being a um a heartbreaker
[01:12:31] being a wall flower or being like a peacekeeper in a relationship and i'm just leveling up like
[01:12:37] my heartbreaker one because i'm just like breaking hearts and you know taking them down and doing my
[01:12:41] own thing i'm having a blast thirsty suitors i hold my community like because i'm in the love color
[01:12:48] in my comic book right now but i said once we finished coloring all the characters before we start
[01:12:52] on my background work we're gonna reward ourselves and we're gonna play it on stream so i've got it
[01:12:57] downloaded i'm ready i'm ready it's so much fun and it's also you know very inclusive LGBTQ and like
[01:13:04] it's also good about the language and you make dishes they teach you how to make actual food dishes
[01:13:10] what i have to increase of it then because i saw clips where they did that and then they switched to
[01:13:16] to the dating part okay so that is the one i've heard about it looks really good
[01:13:20] heck yeah yeah it looks delicious too and like i want to make that food um it's cool it's a lot of fun
[01:13:26] so it keeps you just entertained and it's not a game where you have to feel stress playing it
[01:13:30] you know you will need some downtime and something on a wine with thirsty suitors definitely
[01:13:35] fun in my obsession this week and if you don't feel thirsty enough yet go back and watch
[01:13:42] xmen just forget and you're gonna feel thirsty and then you can go to thirsty suitors
