Hey, everybody, Welcome to the Larger ner Droun Collider, the podcast that's all about the geeky things happening in the world around us and how very excited we are about them. I'm Aeriel casting and with me is always the amazing Jonathan Stricklet.

I feel like we've done this before.

I feel like we've done this before.

Listen. Sometimes the technical difficulties are unavoidable, and sometimes it's your dumb self not being observant. And by dumb self, I mean me, not you, Jonathan.

Listen. Sometimes the technical difficulties are unavoidable, and sometimes it's your dumb self not being observant. And by dumb self, I mean me, not you, Jonathan.

I listen, I've done it more than enough times on my own, So I no, I am casting no stones here. Yeah. The only thing y'all missed really was I had a killer pun about I almost became a cult leader, but it was a cure miss It's only a killer pun if you watch Severance.

I listen, I've done it more than enough times on my own, So I no, I am casting no stones here. Yeah. The only thing y'all missed really was I had a killer pun about I almost became a cult leader, but it was a cure miss It's only a killer pun if you watch Severance.

Yeah, but it did lead to a vaguely fun conversation about like things that people think are called the Severance thing is definitely a cult happening. But I had some friends talking about games that people considered cult, like Pathfinder was one. We talked about magic the Gathering, which I never got addicted to, and then like EverQuest was it EverQuest or ever Hate where they would say said that if your spouse played.

It, you were or what I don't be EverQuest because they also called it ever crack.

It, you were or what I don't be EverQuest because they also called it ever crack.

Oh yeah, because I never played that.

Oh yeah, because I never played that.

Well, I have never played any any of the MMOs, like, I've never been in and I've never played. I actually did purchase one about two weeks ago, but I haven't played it yet, which is just Elder Scrolls Online.

Well, I have never played any any of the MMOs, like, I've never been in and I've never played. I actually did purchase one about two weeks ago, but I haven't played it yet, which is just Elder Scrolls Online.

Oh, Elder Scrolls Online is so much fun and it's got some great voice actors in it.

Oh, Elder Scrolls Online is so much fun and it's got some great voice actors in it.

I look forward to it, I just haven't. I haven't installed it. I purchased it because it was on It was one of those themes they where it was like super cheap, and I was like, all right, I'll go ahead, And I've always wanted to play. I think I played in one of the free preview weekends. I played like a little bit, but that was early, early, early on in the game, when it hadn't really realized its potential. So I definitely feel like I need to revisit it. I also, I am not sure that my computer will be able to run it because, as if you might recall, my gaming rig, the one that I was dependent upon for the longest time, has gotten to the point now where it's too unstable, like something has happened, where if the power cable is even gently jiggled, the whole computer just goes dead. And it's a laptop, it should go to battery power, and it says it has battery power, but it just will will power off completely. And it makes me think that there the connection between the battery and the actual laptop has somehow been interrupted. But it's also one of those laptops where you can't you can't detach and reattach the battery. It's all incorporated into the chassis itself, and I haven't taken it apart to check.

Could you take it to geek Squad? They can probably fix.

Could you take it to geek Squad? They can probably fix.

It for you. Yeah, but then I have to go talk to people at geek Squad.

It for you. Yeah, but then I have to go talk to people at geek Squad.

I know, but hey, it might be cheaper and less frustrating than getting a whole new computer right now.

I know, but hey, it might be cheaper and less frustrating than getting a whole new computer right now.

That's true. The nice thing is I do have other devices that I can use, Like I've got my work computer, and then I had another personal computer that was I literally was just not using. The only thing is it's not it's not a gaming rig. So I gotch it. I don't know if it could run Elder Scull So it's a recent computer. I just haven't tried to run anything like Hefty on it.

So my work computer, my work laptop is about three three and a half years old. Now, it's not a gaming computer, and I did have to delete a whole bunch of stuff on it to fit Elder Scrolls Online onto it. But I was able to play the game no problem once it was downloaded on this computer. So I hope you don't have problems. I hope that there are plenty of people who are revitalized into playing it again now that it's on sale, because it is a very fun game in and of itself, but it's also kind of fun to see everybody else running around.

Yeah. Like I said, I guess there was one other MMO I briefly played, but again, it was back when the game was new and a lot of folks felt like it was mostly potential but not a whole lot of substance, and that was Fallout seventy six.

Yeah. Like I said, I guess there was one other MMO I briefly played, but again, it was back when the game was new and a lot of folks felt like it was mostly potential but not a whole lot of substance, and that was Fallout seventy six.

Oh.

Oh.

I need to get back into that because I know that that has definitely improved since I played it, and I think I have that on the Xbox.

I need to get back into that because I know that that has definitely improved since I played it, and I think I have that on the Xbox.

I've played so many MMOs City of Heroes. Wow, I guess Diablo's not an MMO. Elder Scrolls Online League of Legend isn't really an MMO, but like kind of is. It's just not an RPG. Yeah, I've played a bunch. My parents are to blame for many of them, which is why I have Wow Ascension currently on my computer.

Yeah, I've played a bunch. My parents are to blame for many of them, which is why I have Wow Ascension currently on my computer.

Yeah. I I never got into them, but like I wanted to because I got to see Ultima Online when it was still in development. It was before i'd actually even got into beta. It was an early build because Richard gary At aka Lord British used to come to Dragon Con all the time and he would bring the latest build of whatever he was working on with him and show it off at the convention, so we would often get an early look just anyone who was there. Not I wasn't. I was special special. I was just in the room, and I really thought Ultimate Online looked amazing. But by the time it came out, I was not in a position where I could play a game that would have a monthly subscription attached to it. It was just not I wasn't making money, so there was no way for me to do that. And then by the time I was starting to make money, well, one Ultima Online was already kind of in decline because EverQuest was eating its lunch or drinking its milkshake if you prefer. But for another Ultimate Online in particular was having real problems with griefing, where you know, newbie player characters would be absolutely rolled by people who were more veterans of the servers so or shards as they called it back in Ultimate Online. So I never really got into it because I was disincentivized first by the revenue model and then by you know, the kind of clickish and gatekeeping behavior of veterans. Yeah.

Yeah. I I never got into them, but like I wanted to because I got to see Ultima Online when it was still in development. It was before i'd actually even got into beta.

Yeah, but right now I'm not playing an MMO. I'm just playing an RPG, And I'm not going to judge you for not getting into things back in the day because like I'm years late, as we said last week to Boulderskape.

Yeah, but right now I'm not playing an MMO. I'm just playing an RPG, And I'm not going to judge you for not getting into things back in the day because like I'm years late, as we said last week to Boulderskape.

Yeah, but that's that. At least that's a nice single player experience where you could play it on your terms, on your timeline.

Yeah, but that's that. At least that's a nice single player experience where you could play it on your terms, on your timeline.

It's christ I'm mad because apparently Gail was like, my friend was talking to me about it last night because they've already played and now I'm playing, and so they're like, well, tell me how's it going, and I'll I'll relay stuff to them and talk to them about it and get h tips, and they're like, well, I'm like all my friends are about talking about how sexually charged of a game it is. And I was like, nobody's hit on me yet, not even Gail, and I feel a little slighted. I don't want Gail to hit on me my character, but I feel slighted.

It's christ I'm mad because apparently Gail was like, my friend was talking to me about it last night because they've already played and now I'm playing, and so they're like, well, tell me how's it going, and I'll I'll relay stuff to them and talk to them about it and get h tips, and they're like, well, I'm like all my friends are about talking about how sexually charged of a game it is. And I was like, nobody's hit on me yet, not even Gail, and I feel a little slighted. I don't want Gail to hit on me my character, but I feel slighted.

Yeah. Uh, they definitely nerve that because when when the game first came out, it was criminally easy. It was actually I think it was a bug that the romance options were on like a super Highway fast track where you could be like, Hi, how are you very well? Thank you, hey, thanks for taking out that monster. Let's have whoopie. That's and they ended up they ended up taking some of that out, okay, and made it harder to build those relationships.

Yeah. Uh, they definitely nerve that because when when the game first came out, it was criminally easy.

Thank you, hey, thanks for taking out that monster. Let's have whoopie. That's and they ended up they ended up taking some of that out, okay, and made it harder to build those relationships.

Okay, that's good to note, because like I'm also you know, I'm not I'm not playing the game for relationships. If one happens, it's fine. Right now, I'm still an act one. None of the characters seem that likable to begin with, so it could be my character choices as well, but I'm not playing a bard.

Okay, that's good to note, because like I'm also you know, I'm not I'm not playing the game for relationships. If one happens, it's fine. Right now, I'm still an act one. None of the characters seem that likable to begin with, so it could be my character choices as well, but I'm not playing a bard.

So yeah, the problem is that that. I think the one that, uh well, the one I liked a lot, is one that you might not end up using very much in your party because she's also a barbarian.

So yeah, the problem is that that. I think the one that, uh well, the one I liked a lot, is one that you might not end up using very much in your party because she's also a barbarian.

So yeah, Carlac, Yeah, I think I will like her as a as a as like a traveling companion occasionally, especially for like heart, like get another heavy hitter. I might like her better than Lozelle because I don't like thoseille at all.

So yeah, Carlac, Yeah, I think I will like her as a as a as like a traveling companion occasionally, especially for like heart, like get another heavy hitter. I might like her better than Lozelle because I don't like thoseille at all.

Yeah, I never used her ever. Like I I recognized that she was a good warrior, but I never had her in my party, partly because I didn't like the character, but also, you know, I wanted I wanted to feel like my character had real impact in fights, which is why I ultimately abandoned the barred character, because, like I said, I was hitting a wall where I just could not advance because my Bard wasn't strong enough and the support characters weren't compensating enough, and so I ended up creating a warrior bass a ranger, but a warrior based character in order to actually play the game more effectively. Maybe sometime, if I go back and try and play it again, I'll try a Bard again and I'll actually have her in the rotation. It's just my favorite rotation was Gail. I liked having Gail, Asterion and shadow Heart on my catch.

Yeah, I never used her ever.

I liked having Gail, Asterion and shadow Heart on my catch.

Yeah. I like shadow Heart because she heals, although I I might change that out if I get another healer. Asterian's surprisingly good. Like I took him. I took him. I got him right away in the game, just because of the direction I went. So I took him into the Chapel ruins and he was poop there. But once he leveled up, Uh, he's He's been really good in fights because the one two punch of a sneak attack plus a vampire bye gets people down pretty far. Yea, my barbarian doesn't feel that effective, but I keep rolling very poorly on like my reckless attacks.

Yeah. I like shadow Heart because she heals, although I I might change that out if I get another healer. Asterian's surprisingly good. Like I took him. I took him.

So that's get those karmic dice going and maybe things will make a change.

So that's get those karmic dice going and maybe things will make a change.

I forgot to do that. I forgot to do that anyhow, Yeah, I have to go back because I've learned that like some some little side interactions that I passed up on could do some cool things. So I have to go back and do them before I leave my car.

I forgot to do that. I forgot to do that anyhow, Yeah, I have to go back because I've learned that like some some little side interactions that I passed up on could do some cool things. So I have to go back and do them before I leave my car.

Every time I think I've seen everything there is about Balder's Gate, some new video comes out where I'm like, wait, that's in the game too.

Every time I think I've seen everything there is about Balder's Gate, some new video comes out where I'm like, wait, that's in the game too.

I love that. I love that you can play the game and have a very different experience each time, depending on your choices and your roles. I just happened to like run across somebody where it was it was more of an interaction. I had an option to do something or not, and I opted not to, And then I was like, oh, but if I do this, this happens, I've got to go back and see if they're still there.

Yeah. Well that's what we've been playing, not really what I've been playing. I've been playing Boulder's Gate. I've been playing Fields of Mystery because of out. A new update came out this month and so but I'm already pretty much through all the update stuffs, which means I'll just be putting it on the back partner again until the next updates sometime in the future. But let's talk about some of the stuff we have watched since our last recording.

Yeah. Well that's what we've been playing, not really what I've been playing. I've been playing Boulder's Gate. I've been playing Fields of Mystery because of out.

But let's talk about some of the stuff we have watched since our last recording.

Sure, I apparently have watched very little. I'm caught up on White Lotus. They did hit the ick thing that I said I was going to nope out on. They do so much ick in that show. But there's a couple of.

Sure, I apparently have watched very little. I'm caught up on White Lotus. They did hit the ick thing that I said I was going to nope out on. They do so much ick in that show. But there's a couple of.

I have never seen White Lotus, so I have no idea what you're referencing.

I have never seen White Lotus, so I have no idea what you're referencing.

They just do some stuff. First of all, I know you talked about how there's a lot of nudity and righteous gemstones similar into White Lotus. It's about people losing their inhibitions and acting poorly on vacation, where they might act poorly in real life too, But you know, things come to a head at these resorts, and some of their choices of the things they show just really they put me off. But also some of the storylines are really good, so I'm a little bit hate watching it. There's a couple of characters I really care about their storyline. I don't know if I'm gonna stick with it. Severan's still watching. I haven't watched the final episode of this season, but Jonathan did, and he's promised me no spoilers.

All I'll say is that I very much liked the final episode and that I think Adam Scott deserves an Emmy nomination for his performance in it, and that is all I will say.

All I'll say is that I very much liked the final episode and that I think Adam Scott deserves an Emmy nomination for his performance in it, and that is all I will say.

I do know I read this is not a spoiler. I read that they are bringing on some new people to the writer room for season three, so excited for a season three. Every time I'm like, there's certainly not more they could do, they prove that there is, So I'm very excited for a season three. I think one of the writers worked on Succession, so that'll be interesting.

You'll really wonder where season three is gonna go by the end of the episode. But yeah, season I saw that season three was officially greenlit today essentially.

You'll really wonder where season three is gonna go by the end of the episode. But yeah, season I saw that season three was officially greenlit today essentially.

Yeah, and Ben Stoller said that they were working on it pretty much when season two came out. I've been watching rewatching BSG. Starbuck is very nasal, and I consider myself a nasal person, so for me to notice that it's a lot I'd never noticed that.

Yeah, and Ben Stoller said that they were working on it pretty much when season two came out. I've been watching rewatching BSG. Starbuck is very nasal, and I consider myself a nasal person, so for me to notice that it's a lot I'd never noticed that.

The first watch through, Yeah, I never got into it.

The first watch through, Yeah, I never got into it.

So yeah, and then just watching drop out content, and uh, I'm watching through Abbot Elementary so I can watch the always sunny Abbitt Elementary crossover. But in like complete honesty, I actually enjoyed the show. It is a little cheesy. It's maybe a little cheesier than The Office, the US Office, which I also enjoyed, but it's got a similar format, but it's it's also very true to the education system many times, so it feels good.

So I'm watching that cool. I've been watching tons of stuff. I got through season three of Invincible and almost nope, doubt of that. Some incredibly brutal stuff happens, which is no big surprise if you follow I mean, the first episode of Invincible ends with some of the most gratuitous brutality ever shown in animation. Season three continues that trend, and it's being true to the comics for the most part. Like I've been checking it. I haven't read the comics, but I've been checking it against like articles and stuff like oh okay, So it's not like they took a different route. They're essentially following the comic book storyline. So if you have read the comics, you know what is coming. But yeah, I watched that. I kind of like it. I don't know if I'm going to stick with it, because, like I said, it does it was getting so brutal that it was no longer entertaining to me. I'm still watching Mythic Quest. I'm in season three of that, which is interesting. It's entertaining, but it's also weird because characters have gone their separate ways in order to tell new stories, except they keep coming back to the mythic quest office, and it's kind of irritating because you have like characters who literally don't work there anymore, but they keep coming back, and you're like, but what, why would you be allowed inside? I don't get it anyway. Maybe it's because I've worked for Corporate America, and in my world, if you get if you if you quit, or you're fired, you're not allowed back in the building.

So sometimes that's the case for sure.

So sometimes that's the case for sure.

I watched the penultimate episode of season three of Reacher. Man Meat Mountain massacre has yet to happen, so we've got one episode left, so I guess that's when it's gonna all come to a head.

I watched the penultimate episode of season three of Reacher. Man Meat Mountain massacre has yet to happen, so we've got one episode left, so I guess that's when it's gonna all come to a head.

That feels like a bait and switch for it to not have happened yet.

That feels like a bait and switch for it to not have happened yet.

I thought for sure. I thought that was going to be like the secondary boss, and so we would get that at least by the second to last episode, and then the last episode would be the boss battle. But apparently it's all going to be in that one last episode. Yeah, that's one of those shows that I watch and I asked myself after every episode, why am I watching this, and yet I still watch the next one? I am still watching Harley Quinn. I'm still several seasons behind on that, but I'm enjoying it. And as Ariel mentioned, I watched Severance, really liked it. And I watched the first episode of The Residents. That's that detective story set in the White House with the quirky detective and Ken Marino as like an advisor to the President of the United States. And I like the characters and I like the performances, and I think it is biting off more than it can chew.

Gotcha, gotcha, along the lines of biting off more than it can chew. I did try to watch The Electric State this week, and it just didn't happen. Oh.

Gotcha, gotcha, along the lines of biting off more than it can chew. I did try to watch The Electric State this week, and it just didn't happen. Oh.

I tried watching Craven. I actually tried to watch Oh. I thought about I got about fifteen minutes in and said, no, I only have a loaded number of hours on this planet. I can't spend it watching this. Yeah.

I tried watching Craven. I actually tried to watch Oh. I thought about I got about fifteen minutes in and said, no, I only have a loaded number of hours on this planet. I can't spend it watching this. Yeah.

I once Severance is done, I'm going to dive into either Mythic Quest or The Studio or Bondsman or all three. I haven't finished Chaos yet, and I should.

I once Severance is done, I'm going to dive into either Mythic Quest or The Studio or Bondsman or all three. I haven't finished Chaos yet, and I should.

But I just because that's only like eight episodes, right, Yeah.

But I just because that's only like eight episodes, right, Yeah.

But it it's hard. It can be hard to watch.

But it it's hard. It can be hard to watch.

I hear you. Yeah, no, that's actually I know. I can't criticize that at all. Like I was going back and forth between Invincible Harley Quinn and Mythic Quest, and those are all like none of those are super hard hitting dramas or anything like that, but I would watch for about ten minutes and go like, hmm, I'm not feeling this, and I would switch to the other one. I did get all the way through all of them, but I was like, man, maybe my attention spanned just riddled with holes like Swiss cheese right now, I don't.

It's also kind of like a burnout thing. I think, like whatever you've got brain power for if you're tired or stressed on the day. Yeah, we've been. I think the reason I haven't watched a lot is because Tony and I have both had some very late nights lately, and so we only get a little bit of watch time, and by then we're both exhausted, so we end up doing something like after Midnight, which is a lot easier to watch.

Yeah, to consume, Well, that's what we've been watching so far. So lots and lots of stuff there. Like if you were looking for recommendations, I do recommend Severance very much. I think Severance is very much worth watching. I think Invincible is a hard watch, at least for people like me, but is worth watching. Reacher, I don't think is really worth watching, but it's like junk food. I can't stop. So those are that's kind of my takeaway. And Residents, I've only seen the first episode. It's a little too early for me to there's like eight episodes. It's a little too early for me to say whether or not it's worth watching. But I can already sense that it is probably longer than it needs to be.

Yeah, okay, cool, what what.

Yeah, okay, cool, what what.

Now thirty seconds or less?

Now thirty seconds or less?

Great? I start snow White. Reactions are a little bit better than people anticipated based on the trailers. Apparently the music is pretty slapping and Rachel Zegeler does a good job. The only review I read on gal Gado was that she had pretty gowns, and I'm like, well, that's not that's not on her. That's not on her, literally like good costume design, but that's not a that's not a story thing necessarily, but that the CGI dwarfs are still upsetting, which we all knew, but this is from fan reactions and influencers. It's not from critical reviews. Those have yet to really drop it.

Well. Back in nineteen eighty one, horror author Stephen King published a book about the Saint Bernard driven mad with Rabi's It was called Kujo is Adept into a movie in nineteen eighty three, and now more than forty years later, director Darren Aronofsky is in talks to direct a new adaptation, this time for Netflix. Producer Roy Lee, who has produced other King works for film, is attached. There's no writer yet, and all I can say is down, boy down.

Never watched, never will. Colin Farrell is in talks to play Sergeant Rock. This is after Daniel Craig and I feel like one other actor both declined totally fine. That's that's the news of the like, that's the headline of the article. But the really cool part is that Daniel Craig is in talks to be in Gretig Growings and Narnia project. So it's kind of like a one two punch in thirty seconds or less.

Well, even the Killer Jigsaw couldn't devise a trap puzzle as debious as the one that is apparently scuttled Saw eleven, which was originally supposed to come out last year. Apparently, squabbles between various producers have hindered the film so much that, according to Bloody Disgusting, it's resulted in the total loss of the project. Maybe one day we'll get a scary documentary about it.

I kind of like the more indie scary stuff we've been getting lately, so I'm not too broken out about that. I know people who will do Cody Kyote Kool. Coyote Versus Acme was shelved. Everybody was super upset because it was one of those ones that was shelved to never be seen again. But it might be seen again. It looks like Warner Brothers is in talks with Ketchup Entertainment to sell it off. Ketchup Entertainment is the same people who just released The Day the Earth Blew Up Alo Tunes movie, which we've had some friends see and they didn't care for it. But Coyote Versus Acme is the one with John Cena. People were super upset about about it, and maybe if this has a chance at new life, maybe the Supergirl movie will too.

Universals hold on Robert Lovelum's Jason Bourne franchise is over. Their rights have expired, and now Lovelum's estate is shopping the franchise around to see if anyone is interested, including Universal again. So could we see a bidding war breakout. There's no guarantee that future Born movies would feature Matt Damon, or whether there would be a total series reboot aka Punch Punch Kick.

Disney Plus is trying to mighty morph The Power Rangers into a reboot as well. Speaking of reboots, we don't know if they're going to be doing like a complete style reboot like the Power Rangers movie that came out with Brian Cranston and Elizabeth Banks, which I liked, even though not.

A whole bunch of people did.

A whole bunch of people did.

I thought it was a lot of fun, or if they're going to stick to the old, the old kind of uh don't remember the name of the original thing Super Sentai aesthetic of like cheesy costumes and explosives. It Power Rangers had been like chugging along just fine, regardless of people, unlike Star Trek, regardless of people aging out of it. On Netflix, they had like an RPM one where it was really it would be really high quality storytelling and then go into really like Super Sentai storytelling, and it was a weird just juxtaposition, but also kind of cool. But Disney Plus recently did Percy Jackson and it's the same crew, so it might be really good.

Miguel's great grandmother Coco might be dead, but Pixar's desire to tell more stories in the world of the film Coco are very much alive. Of spoiler, I guess anyway, I've never seen it. Well, I mean, it's fine, you need to. It's a good movie anyway. In a shareholder call, Disney CEO Bob Iger revealed that Pixar is developing a sequel to the beloved movie Coco. We have very few other details about the project other than Disney helps We're at to hit theaters in twenty twenty nine.

So here's the thing. I watched Big Hero six shortly after my father passed away. That was rough. Coco came out around the time my grandma passed away, so I said.

It could be the dog be friends a woodchuck and it could be called up chuck.

It could be the dog be friends a woodchuck and it could be called up chuck.

Yeah, it could be. Yeah. So we got a couple of trailers and stuff for things that don't really fit our lineup. We started doing this in the last episode, so we figured we do it again. Just go through them pretty quickly. One of them is a horror movie, but it's more in like a serial killer animal attack movie combo. It's called Dangerous Animals. The basic premise appears to be dude ones a boat, Dude kidnaps women, Dude takes women out on the ocean, Dude feeds women to sharks. Didn't quite feel like it was genrey enough to include in our storyline, but I did want to call out that, yes, I did see that trailer.

Not at all fitting in our storyline, unless you can consider nostalgia something that fits. The Connors just got a trailer for their very final season. I've really been enjoying the show. I was never a huge fan of Roseanne, but it's got so much heart and it feels so good, and it's really about families working through problems and finding joy. And I really appreciate that, So yeah, final season starting later this month.

We also got a teaser for Happy Gilmore Too, which I told Ariel doesn't belong in our lineup, so we moved it down to here. But then I also have never seen Happy Gilmore one, so I am not the person to talk about this.

It's my I've not watched many Adam Sandler movies. I'd say the Wedding Singer is my first favorite, followed by Happy Gilmore. It's it's fun, it's cute, it's a little bit Adam sandlery, but it looks it just looks like he's had a good life and is going back to the things that he loves. And Happy Gilmore too, because maybe ignoring those things makes you a little less happy. For the most part, it looks cute. There's one or two gags I could have done without, but that's always the case with Adam Sandler movies. I made Jonathan move something to the section two, and that's a trailer for Shadow Force.

Yeah, Shadow Force, which is it kind of gives me mister and Missus Smith vibes that kind of thing where you get like family, that is, at least the husband and wife are are secretly former special agents, and then the system is coming after them, probably because they know too much, like you know, in their in their work as special agents, they were privy to things that a person is now trying to cover up, and so they're coming after them. It looks like a good one of those. But it is another one of.

It looks like a good one of those. But it is another one of.

Those, and I know that we've talked about those in our lineup before. We kind of put stuff like that in when we are like low on actual geeky properties. But yeah, it looks really good, Carrie Carry. It looks like it's got a lot of heart and some humor in there. And always when you can watch a near fifty year old woman be badass and juggle many hats, it's always delightful.

It looks like it's got a lot of heart and some humor in there. And always when you can watch a near fifty year old woman be badass and juggle many hats, it's always delightful.

Yeah, So we figure like in the future, when we come across stuff that's kind of more mainstream action, it'll probably fall into this category. So now let's talk about things that really are in the genre space. Starting off with a trailer that I told Ariel she could skip. Did you skip it?

Yeah, So we figure like in the future, when we come across stuff that's kind of more mainstream action, it'll probably fall into this category. So now let's talk about things that really are in the genre space. Starting off with a trailer that I told Ariel she could skip. Did you skip it?

I watched like the first ten seconds.

I watched like the first ten seconds.

Yeah, there's a lot of bodies til.

Yeah, there's a lot of bodies til.

You get to the nose job. And then I said that's I get the premise.

You get to the nose job. And then I said that's I get the premise.

Yeah, So it's the Ugly Stepsister is the film, And as the name implies, this is kind of a sort of inspired by the Cinderella story, following a young woman who looks like she goes into like a boarding school and she is ostracized and her family disapproves of her looks and things. It's very like superficial and looks oriented but set in the time where let's say, like cosmetic surgery is at a really primitive and incredibly gruesome level. And the whole trailer has a lot of body elements in it, and it looks amazing. It looks really disturbing. If body horror is not your thing, I do not recommend you watch this trailer.

Yeah, I mean it does hold true to the original grim fairy tale, right because the stepsisters cut off their heels and toes.

Yeah, I mean it does hold true to the original grim fairy tale, right because the stepsisters cut off their heels and toes.

Yeah, and there's a scene where she's about to take a meat cleaver to her own foot.

Yeah, and there's a scene where she's about to take a meat cleaver to her own foot.

Nope.

Nope.

Ah. Yeah.

Ah. Yeah.

It's a lot easier sometimes to read, sometimes it's not. Sometimes it's easier to read these things, and sometimes it's easier to watch these things. I think I read the Grim fairy Tale of Cinderella at a time where it didn't affect me as much.

It's a lot easier sometimes to read, sometimes it's not. Sometimes it's easier to read these things, and sometimes it's easier to watch these things. I think I read the Grim fairy Tale of Cinderella at a time where it didn't affect me as much.

Well, yeah, and I think it also depends upon the style of prose and the style of filmmaking. And this style of filmmaking is graphic and it's like that knows Job section that was rough. I mean when I saw that, I was like, oh am I going to be able to watch this trailer, and I did, and then I put it in our lineup.

Well, yeah, and I think it also depends upon the style of prose and the style of filmmaking. And this style of filmmaking is graphic and it's like that knows Job section that was rough. I mean when I saw that, I was like, oh am I going to be able to watch this trailer, and I did, and then I put it in our lineup.

Yeah. Sometimes I watch a trailer and then I'm like, I wish can I go back in time?

Yeah. Sometimes I watch a trailer and then I'm like, I wish can I go back in time?

And not? Yeah, Meanwhile, there's a the next trailer I put in as far another like horror movie because as as you know, Ariel's prediction goes like, we're twenty twenty five is just the year of horror movies. We got a ghost movie from Shutter, So this is a Shutter original. Shutter, if you're not familiar, is like its own paid horror movie streaming service. It's called eight twenty five Forest Road. It is a ghost movie. And I thought the trailer was kind of uninspired and not particularly effective for me personally.

I mean, it felt like the kind of ghost story you'd read in one of those scary story books, like scary stories books, Yeah, in elementary or middle school. Like, yeah, very very basic. Somebody died in this house, it is still haunting it, and hey, she might be real.

I mean, it felt like the kind of ghost story you'd read in one of those scary story books, like scary stories books, Yeah, in elementary or middle school. Like, yeah, very very basic. Somebody died in this house, it is still haunting it, and hey, she might be real.

Yeah, and well no, not just haunting that house, but apparently other houses in the neighborhood, because there's like a neighborhood support group for Like, Hi, my name is John, I've been haunted for three years. Hi, John, Like it doesn't it You don't do that. That would be silly, But there is like a thing that would be a crazy it would be great. Yeah, like Haunted Anonymous.

Yeah, and well no, not just haunting that house, but apparently other houses in the neighborhood, because there's like a neighborhood support group for Like, Hi, my name is John, I've been haunted for three years.

H Oh, you should write that movie.

H Oh, you should write that movie.

Well, if I wrote it would be more, much more. It would be a comedy. This is not a comedy.

I stand by it, right, Haunted Anonymous tmtmtmtmtmt.

Okay, okay, okay, but yeah, this one like it. You know, it's the whole thing is they're talking about. They have to find this one house where the address is eight twenty five Forest Road, and apparently they can't. No one knows where that is. But for some reason that house is important. It seems to be one of those things like you help the ghost finish whatever it's supposed to do and then it can move on. That's the kind of I've I'm getting But it just basically think like in a world that has Google Maps, how can you not find an actual house that has an address associated with it?

Okay, I have had this experience over the holidays. I ordered some a hair tinsel kit for one of my nieces, and I in Google I accidentally transposed to the numbers. To be completely honest, I just pulled up the address book and I had had things delivered to that address before, which was my mother in law's house, with no problem, and this time it went to it got delivered, but the address was not an address that existed. It got delivered in the neighborhood to the address I put in, which does not exist.

It got delivered in the neighborhood to the address I put in, which does not exist.

Well that's sure. If it doesn't exist, that's one thing. But if it's a house that has a number on it, like it's an actual address, that should be you should be able to track that down.

Well that's sure. If it doesn't exist, that's one thing. But if it's a house that has a number on it, like it's an actual address, that should be you should be able to track that down.

I mean you would think. So Amazon told me that it was delivered to this address, so I assumed there was a house with that number on it.

I mean you would think. So Amazon told me that it was delivered to this address, so I assumed there was a house with that number on it.

Yeah. Well maybe it was just a driver saying, oh, you know what, the spot in the road is just as good as any other.

Yeah. Well maybe it was just a driver saying, oh, you know what, the spot in the road is just as good as any other.

I mean, we found it. It was not at the house with the number, but I'm just saying I've had an experience that feels similar to that, because you're like it said, it was delivered to this specific address, but this I cannot find it. Whoa.

I mean, we found it. It was not at the house with the number, but I'm just saying I've had an experience that feels similar to that, because you're like it said, it was delivered to this specific address, but this I cannot find it. Whoa.

Oh are you saying whoa? Because my screen went dark?

Oh are you saying whoa? Because my screen went dark?

Yeah you are now you went to night time.

Yeah you are now you went to night time.

It's because I switched to Okay, so for people, we don't.

It's because I switched to Okay, so for people, we don't.

Do video great audio content.

Do video great audio content.

I don't have a ring light or anything on me, but I do have a secondary monitor, and when it's on our lineup, our lineup's in a spreadsheet and it's a normal spreadsheet mode, so it's a lot of white light that's reflected onto me. But I just switched a her to look something up, which made me go to Google, which I have in dark mode, So all the light went away because I needed to pull up the plot of Cryptic. Oh yeah, because that's our next story is we got a trailer for Cryptic and I couldn't remember what it was about.

It's okay, I'll tell you. And yeah, we don't share audio. We could record this and then I could edit it and then we could put it on YouTube, or we could just stream it live. But that requires me to like put on makeup. It doesn't require I would feel more comfortable, but regardless, Cryptic is a story about a woman who loves cryptic things and ghost stories and supernatural and so she goes into the woods to find one of those things and it turns out to be like a nightmare that kind of puts her in this Groundhog Day type situation where people think she's missing and she wears a red cloak, although it doesn't remind me of Little Red Riding Hood at all except exception of maybe she's going to look for the mom's which keep this nightmare keeps taking physical form and kind of haunting her and stalking her. The thing I like about this trailer, and I'll let you weigh in, but the thing I liked about this trailer on first watch because I didn't read the log line, so I could be completely wrong. That's just my assumption for watching it is that this woman is not afraid of the monster. She faces it head on, and I love that. M Like, I want to figure out what this is and I want to stop you, but I'm not scared of you.

It's okay, I'll tell you. And yeah, we don't share audio. We could record this and then I could edit it and then we could put it on YouTube, or we could just stream it live.

It doesn't require I would feel more comfortable, but regardless, Cryptic is a story about a woman who loves cryptic things and ghost stories and supernatural and so she goes into the woods to find one of those things and it turns out to be like a nightmare that kind of puts her in this Groundhog Day type situation where people think she's missing and she wears a red cloak, although it doesn't remind me of Little Red Riding Hood at all except exception of maybe she's going to look for the mom's which keep this nightmare keeps taking physical form and kind of haunting her and stalking her. The thing I like about this trailer, and I'll let you weigh in, but the thing I liked about this trailer on first watch because I didn't read the log line, so I could be completely wrong. That's just my assumption for watching it is that this woman is not afraid of the monster. She faces it head on, and I love that. M Like, I want to figure out what this is and I want to stop you, but I'm not scared of you.

Yeah. It's interesting because this is a movie that had an initial release a year ago because it was first showed off at South By Southwest twenty twenty four, but it's just now getting a wider release. So I think it's interesting because I hadn't heard about it at all until I came across the trailer for the wide release, and it seems like it's right up our alley and that it is talking about cryptids. It's a horror the you know, it falls kind of into our wheelhouse. But yeah, somehow this one escaped my notice until I came across the more recent trailer. I think it looks interesting. I saw briefly some information about reviews that have it more kind of middle of the road, but still middle of the Road's not terrible, Like I'm happy for a middle of the road compared to like, I don't know, I'm not gonna say eight twenty five Forest Road is going to be a bad movie. I just it didn't do anything for me. This one I felt was a little more effective for me personally.

Yeah, I agree, honestly, a lot of the not always, but I feel like a lot of the films that kind of hit the film festival's circuit have have slipped past my notice this time, which isn't always bad because sometimes it's frustrating when you get like information on a movie that sounds really cool and there's absolutely no way for you to watch it without shelling out a bazillion dollars.

Yeah. Yeah, like traveling to another city or hoping that there'll be you know, a traveling like. I remember some movies doing the old road show thing where they would go city to city and screen the film, so you had to really pay attention if you wanted a chance to see it. That's how I saw Hot Fuzz the first time. Was Hot Fuzz came to Atlanta as part of a traveling road show. Edgar Wright and Simon Peg and Nick Frost all came to the screening.

Yeah, that one was with Yeah, they had some of the other stars there. I think Michael Lara was there and yeah again Egar Wright was there again.

I mean they still kind of do that sometimes. There are sometimes press tours and things like that. I hope they get back to it.

Yeah, that'd be cool. But moving on next, we have our Pixar film trailer.

Yeah, that'd be cool. But moving on next, we have our Pixar film trailer.

For Ilio, which you might be like, you've talked about that before. Yes, we've had like two teasers, but now we have an official trailer.

For Ilio, which you might be like, you've talked about that before. Yes, we've had like two teasers, but now we have an official trailer.

Yeah, and it's in case you don't remember. It's a story about a young boy named Ilio or Eloh who really, really, really, more than anything in the world, wants to be abducted by aliens. Yeah.

Yeah, and it's in case you don't remember. It's a story about a young boy named Ilio or Eloh who really, really, really, more than anything in the world, wants to be abducted by aliens. Yeah.

I think it's because he doesn't feel like he fits in here on Earth. He's kind of the vibe I get. He's a kid with one eye in part of it, oh, in part of it.

I think it's because he doesn't feel like he fits in here on Earth. He's kind of the vibe I get. He's a kid with one eye in part of it, oh, in part of it.

Yeah, In other parts of the trailer he has two eyes.

Yeah, In other parts of the trailer he has two eyes.

I didn't notice that. Oh, Okay, So I guess trigger warning if you're worried about a kid losing an eye. Maybe his eye is just so powerful and can see so many things he has to cover it up.

I didn't notice that. Oh, Okay, So I guess trigger warning if you're worried about a kid losing an eye. Maybe his eye is just so powerful and can see so many things he has to cover it up.

Or maybe he's missing an eye in the beginning and gets it back in the course of the film.

Or maybe he's missing an eye in the beginning and gets it back in the course of the film.

That could also be awesome. But he meets an alien friend who also doesn't quite fit in with expectations, and it looks so cute.

It does. It looks very cute like this one looks very silly, like a lot of Pixar films, but like, I like this one because it's not giving me a vibe of a different Pixar film right off the bat, except maybe was it Luna. What was the one where it was the kids who could turn it who were mermaids? Essentially, Yeah, Luca Luca. That one, it's the closest is making me feel as Luca, and it's not even that close. But like, remember when we saw Elemental and we were all like, oh, is this just Zootopia again?

Or I mean it's not. It turned out not to be, but the trailer shirt made it seem.

Or I mean it's not. It turned out not to be, but the trailer shirt made it seem.

Yeah, No, Elemental was its own thing. I did finally watch that and I was like, oh, this is very different from what I anticipated based on the trailers because it was really more about kind of an immigrant story than anything else. But yeah, this looks I thought there were bits in the trailer that I thought were very funny. So I will probably check this out. Maybe I'll see it on a Disney cruise.

I maybe I also want to check it out. I think it looks adorable. It doesn't give me two similar vibes I've never seen Luca though, but it also is not Several of the Pixar films. They've gotten away from this more recently, but several of the Pixar films in the beginning were like introduced characters, chase scene, like all chasing Finding Nemo toy story.

Finding Nemo is not just a chase scene. It's it's there are chase scenes in Finding Nemo, but it's.

Finding Nemo is not just a chase scene. It's it's there are chase scenes in Finding Nemo, but it's.

Anyhow, this doesn't feel like that, So I look forward to it. I like it. No, go ahead.

I was going to say, you need to watch Luca, but yeah, you're not looking forward to the next one. I take it.
