00:01:03   these podcasts we are scattered across [TS]

00:01:05   the four corners of the earth or at [TS]

00:01:07   least of the United States and we do it [TS]

00:01:10   all with the magic of skype and that's [TS]

00:01:13   why this podcast is so very wrong [TS]

00:14:20   like to see basement but it's if you [TS]

00:14:24   wanted the most basic on it's enjoyable [TS]

00:14:26   it's it's a good enjoyable movie and I [TS]

00:14:29   know it talks you know and i think you [TS]

00:14:32   can read it i mean i think at the time [TS]

00:14:34   it there [TS]

00:14:35   the way to read it and the way it was [TS]

00:14:37   coded which was about a criticism of [TS]

00:14:39   like the bush administration and the war [TS]

00:14:41   in iraq but i think on a broader level [TS]

00:14:43   just viewing it again as a movie about a [TS]

00:14:46   totalitarian see I think there's [TS]

00:14:47   something for everyone in there right I [TS]

00:14:48   i think that little girls so terrorism [TS]

00:14:52   you know yeah that's right free John [TS]

00:14:54   Hurt is as essentially as big brother [TS]

00:14:56   um i just i i really like that moving [TS]

00:14:59   their couple of lovely little eggs in it [TS]

00:15:02   too like the 10-minute I don't remember [TS]

00:15:04   the app the actress who plays with the [TS]

00:15:05   valerie sequence where he's just reading [TS]

00:15:07   the letters and that's directly from the [TS]

00:15:09   Communist present comics to yeah that's [TS]

00:15:12   one of the whatever reading the comic [TS]

00:15:14   about few months after i saw the film [TS]

00:15:16   but i only read it online and i think it [TS]

00:15:18   was only available in like bits and [TS]

00:15:20   pieces are pirated gettin it's it's [TS]

00:15:23   beautiful and and yeah that is so [TS]

00:15:25   touching the the well although the one [TS]

00:15:27   part of the movie where I really kind of [TS]

00:15:29   went 'damn is the whole hey natalie [TS]

00:15:32   portman you're gonna be tortured and [TS]

00:15:33   we're gonna tell you that you're dying [TS]

00:15:34   and it's all fake out and there was no [TS]

00:15:37   everyone well I think about that and I [TS]

00:15:39   wasn't really a fake-out or but she [TS]

00:15:41   wasn't complicit in it but it's you know [TS]

00:15:43   his he/she it's kind of creepy because [TS]

00:15:46   she accepts it like she goes she's got [TS]

00:15:48   mad briefly then she feels liberated and [TS]

00:15:50   I'm like is this a vindication of [TS]

00:15:51   psychological torture sort of [TS]

00:15:53   brainwashed right in a way I mean that's [TS]

00:15:56   one of the interesting things about the [TS]

00:15:57   movies and then she has her freedom [TS]

00:15:59   because he's brainwashed her by breaking [TS]

00:16:00   her through torture but he never breaks [TS]

00:16:02   or she never confesses she never [TS]

00:16:04   confesses right that is you know how he [TS]

00:16:06   picks her that's a good 1984 call back [TS]

00:16:07   to writing i watch the movie actually [TS]

00:16:09   when I want to be for vendetta i was [TS]

00:16:11   drawn back to John Hurt in 1984 which is [TS]

00:16:14   around in that movie is that is a freaky [TS]

00:16:16   wonderful underrated film and it's very [TS]

00:16:18   effective to the book and there's a ton [TS]

00:16:20   of callbacks including the giant screen [TS]

00:16:22   envy for the net as a call back to [TS]

00:16:24   Reggie right right that's I mean she's [TS]

00:16:27   already set up so its interests it's [TS]

00:16:28   interesting the the 1984 is an [TS]

00:16:32   interesting example of a book that is [TS]

00:16:33   considered great literature and kids [TS]

00:16:37   read in school and you know you can't [TS]

00:16:40   not call that a sci-fi book except i [TS]

00:16:42   think people don't because they're [TS]

00:16:43   afraid to categorize it as that visual [TS]

00:16:45   it is a lot of great things wrong in [TS]

00:16:46   1948 rights and there's a there's a lot [TS]

00:16:49   of get great thought-provoking [TS]

00:16:50   literature that is you know technically [TS]

00:16:52   science fiction but it's very often [TS]

00:16:54   represent under the guise well i'm [TS]

00:16:56   thinking again you know it along similar [TS]

00:16:57   lines fahrenheit 451 which is going on a [TS]

00:17:00   book that i love but i think it is an [TS]

00:17:02   interesting book it's not my favorite [TS]

00:17:04   Bradbury work I think he's done [TS]

00:17:06   for work elsewhere but it's the one that [TS]

00:17:07   so that's mostly popular and i actually [TS]

00:17:09   got into a discussion with someone [TS]

00:17:10   recently about that because I mean it's [TS]

00:17:12   very similar to 1984 in some themes but [TS]

00:17:15   one of my friends like oh right [TS]

00:17:18   Bradbury's crazy said fahrenheit 451 [TS]

00:17:20   that isn't a book about censorship when [TS]

00:17:22   clearly and i said well i just reread it [TS]

00:17:24   it isn't about censorship really it's [TS]

00:17:27   about people the the population [TS]

00:17:30   willfully becoming sort of anesthetized [TS]

00:17:32   to like what's going on around them they [TS]

00:17:33   don't want to know anything they're [TS]

00:17:34   censoring themselves and the antithesis [TS]

00:17:36   of people coming in memorizing books and [TS]

00:17:38   passing them on orally in right which is [TS]

00:17:41   it again it's it's a book that I find it [TS]

00:17:43   more interesting in in in its ideas than [TS]

00:17:45   its execution so i will say that i love [TS]

00:17:47   the was the movie made in like the [TS]

00:17:49   seventies eighties yeah they tried to [TS]

00:17:51   get a remake for years off the ground [TS]

00:17:54   and it never took off that film was one [TS]

00:17:56   of the first science-fiction related [TS]

00:17:59   films i saw after Star Wars and it stuck [TS]

00:18:01   in my mind like it's one of the many [TS]

00:18:02   films that I saw on beta tape and that [TS]

00:18:06   film in particular stuck with me over [TS]

00:18:08   and over i don't think i read the the [TS]

00:18:09   actual book until much later there are [TS]

00:18:11   certain images like images of that I the [TS]

00:18:14   monorail or whatever the high train i [TS]

00:18:17   just remember the the giant like the [TS]

00:18:18   architecture and things like that and [TS]

00:18:20   it's just it's a very striking film even [TS]

00:18:23   if it's not entirely solid I haven't [TS]

00:18:25   seen it i have not either i read the [TS]

00:18:27   breadline high school yeah i reread it a [TS]

00:18:29   couple years ago because i was i was [TS]

00:18:31   interested to see I i read some other [TS]

00:18:33   Bradbury stuff and really liked it and [TS]

00:18:34   was just sort of like I should go back [TS]

00:18:36   and read fahrenheit for yeah he's cool [TS]

00:18:38   he's really good actually a fantastic [TS]

00:18:40   writer and if there's a one-book i would [TS]

00:18:42   recommend it's something wicked this way [TS]

00:18:44   home yes that which is a great sense [TS]

00:18:46   look bill is about childhood Spence [TS]

00:18:48   chills up my spine read that read it i [TS]

00:18:51   read that in i had just moved into my [TS]

00:18:53   life after college like my first [TS]

00:18:55   apartment I didn't have like a bed yet i [TS]

00:18:57   remember had less sleep and like a [TS]

00:18:58   mattress on the floor reading this book [TS]

00:18:59   and it really is it's not it's not scary [TS]

00:19:03   but it's creepy and like a really [TS]

00:19:05   effective way and it's just it's his his [TS]

00:19:08   prose is honestly lyrical really when it [TS]

00:19:11   gets down to it in a way that I don't [TS]

00:19:13   think a lot of people right and I've [TS]

00:19:15   read a couple other things by him since [TS]

00:19:16   time that I like them i go back and [TS]

00:19:18   forth but but that [TS]

00:19:19   one this particular stuck in my mind is [TS]

00:19:21   like it just it's so evocative there's a [TS]

00:19:24   a forget how could the movie is 90 [TS]

00:19:26   adaptation 1981 of the TV movie with [TS]

00:19:28   like jonathan pryce i knows jason [TS]

00:19:31   robards now they're the the thickets [TS]

00:19:32   uneven but jason robards fine actor and [TS]

00:19:35   he's very moving as the father needs a [TS]

00:19:37   father worried about losing his son the [TS]

00:19:39   son want to grow faster than he could [TS]

00:19:41   and the Ray Bradbury he's only you know [TS]

00:19:43   he always fought and fights the [TS]

00:19:44   science-fiction label because he thinks [TS]

00:19:46   of himself as you know writing the Great [TS]

00:19:48   American Novel or short story over and [TS]

00:19:49   over again and it uses the least amount [TS]

00:19:52   of fantasy or science fiction horror [TS]

00:19:54   elements that he can to convey the [TS]

00:19:56   emotional reality of what he's saying [TS]

00:19:59   we've got very seriously also what you [TS]

00:20:00   also write so if you ever get a chance [TS]

00:20:01   to read his essays he has written some [TS]

00:20:03   fabulous s have a collection of essays [TS]

00:20:05   including at least one about I think [TS]

00:20:08   about Apple we talked a bit about it [TS]

00:20:11   about Apple computers and I think like [TS]

00:20:13   into them in some ways to disney he was [TS]

00:20:15   I think he was friends with walt disney [TS]

00:20:17   at some point helping with some of the [TS]

00:20:18   like Disney World planning or what have [TS]

00:20:21   you and there's a cryogenic crypt [TS]

00:20:22   awaiting him check out when i got my cab [TS]

00:20:27   thanks [TS]

00:20:27   Wow short stories are also very [TS]

00:20:29   brilliant s4 space is one of the first [TS]

00:20:31   science fiction books I ever checked out [TS]

00:20:33   from the library i must have been like [TS]

00:20:34   six or seven and it was most of it was [TS]

00:20:36   very much over my head and very scary [TS]

00:20:38   but I like I kept that book from the [TS]

00:20:42   library for about six months and paid a [TS]

00:20:45   whole lot of overdue fines out of my [TS]

00:20:46   lions but it was my favorite book and I [TS]

00:20:48   read it over and over and over for at [TS]

00:20:50   least a year i was reading some short [TS]

00:20:52   story collection by him recently and i [TS]

00:20:53   found it i guess i don't know i was a [TS]

00:20:55   little disappointed because I found a [TS]

00:20:57   lot of the story is very like kind of [TS]

00:21:01   hit you over the head with the with the [TS]

00:21:02   symbolism some of them i mean yeah like [TS]

00:21:05   there's one that's for example basically [TS]

00:21:07   about like what if there's this planet [TS]

00:21:09   of aliens and like Jesus came down and [TS]

00:21:11   like a spaceship or something and [TS]

00:21:13   everybody like you know people ignoring [TS]

00:21:14   basically I mean it's and kind available [TS]

00:21:17   it's very thinly veiled and so it was a [TS]

00:21:20   little bit and and there i mean ii still [TS]

00:21:22   a great writer i think but it it's not [TS]

00:21:24   as i don't know i found it a little to [TS]

00:21:27   hit me over the head of the message [TS]

00:21:28   well and i think that's that's really [TS]

00:21:29   where it's what's best and what what [TS]

00:21:31   syfy does best [TS]

00:21:33   I'm is it is well it makes you happy my [TS]

00:21:36   story Jesus is a robot makes you [TS]

00:21:39   re-evaluate that Robo Jesus I am I mean [TS]

00:21:42   throw but Jesus that was restrained and [TS]

00:21:45   I was trying to do filme are there and I [TS]

00:21:46   didn't have my own completely tangential [TS]

00:21:49   note too that I mean we tangents away [TS]

00:21:51   now [TS]

00:21:52   well once read real yeah I need to step [TS]

00:21:55   back to Ray Bradbury because i was [TS]

00:21:57   looking more time i was looking up the [TS]

00:21:58   fahrenheit 451 movie which is made in [TS]

00:22:01   1966 directed by francois truffaut like [TS]

00:22:05   which I did and starring starting Oscar [TS]

00:22:08   water and julie christie which I oh [TS]

00:22:10   never really couldn't Truffaut making [TS]

00:22:13   just talking about you know influential [TS]

00:22:15   directors make cool [TS]

00:22:17   yes also layers who saw the original [TS]

00:22:19   arrangement friend Larry at night is a [TS]

00:22:22   fascinating movie partly because it [TS]

00:22:24   includes long I mean it's a you know [TS]

00:22:26   it's a very stylistic film but it is as [TS]

00:22:28   one of the most disturbing things you [TS]

00:22:31   can see because a lot of that the one [TS]

00:22:33   without George Clooney would have [TS]

00:22:34   charged pretty it's it's disturbing [TS]

00:22:36   because it's it presents no it's all [TS]

00:22:39   about simulacrum what is real what is [TS]

00:22:41   not real and things being created from [TS]

00:22:43   memory but it's disturbing that the [TS]

00:22:44   things that should be most disturbing [TS]

00:22:46   are presented in a very ordinary fashion [TS]

00:22:47   such as they're orbiting this star you [TS]

00:22:51   know far from Earth of the sort of no [TS]

00:22:52   explanation of the science and getting [TS]

00:22:54   there whatever let's just they do that [TS]

00:22:55   but the fact that the star turns out to [TS]

00:22:57   be an intel intelligent creating life [TS]

00:22:59   from their memories and so forth is [TS]

00:23:01   that's that in you know these people are [TS]

00:23:02   presented other actors nose doesn't need [TS]

00:23:04   to be special effects like his dead wife [TS]

00:23:07   appears and he has to cope with that [TS]

00:23:10   even though he knows she's a simulacrum [TS]

00:23:11   it's um it's very psychologically [TS]

00:23:13   disturbing in the middle of all this [TS]

00:23:14   dispensable science fiction isn't like [TS]

00:23:16   five hours longer yeah there's there's a [TS]

00:23:18   scene where he's driving the astronauts [TS]

00:23:20   driving from his you know the doctor or [TS]

00:23:22   something into is a doctor to the city [TS]

00:23:25   that goes on in real and I know exactly [TS]

00:23:27   how you're not sure like this is 20 [TS]

00:23:29   minutes the man driving a car but it's [TS]

00:23:30   sort of trying to I think p.m. [TS]

00:23:32   simulations have you seen lights and [TS]

00:23:34   excellence and you have you seen the [TS]

00:23:36   fountain has anybody seen found any [TS]

00:23:38   right now I you see in the many of the [TS]

00:23:40   long series of things that God is not [TS]

00:23:41   finished i tried to watch them [TS]

00:23:43   uh-huh out nice i like the [TS]

00:23:46   and although I mean I i I'm not sure [TS]

00:23:48   whether I like it or I appreciate it was [TS]

00:23:50   trying to do in which failed at but it [TS]

00:23:52   is roger ebert recently wrote an [TS]

00:23:55   appreciation of it because Darren [TS]

00:23:57   Aronofsky just directed that is the [TS]

00:24:01   fighter help and no xbox one and the [TS]

00:24:04   rest opinions bell x-1 haven't seen I [TS]

00:24:06   can't wait to see his follow-up [TS]

00:24:07   Wolverine that's not a joke he's [TS]

00:24:10   directing makes me think I mind but but [TS]

00:24:12   the the but it's like that the the [TS]

00:24:14   fountain is similar in that way where [TS]

00:24:16   it's a I mean it's three stories that [TS]

00:24:18   are interlocked where it's the same guy [TS]

00:24:19   and he's a conquistadora working for [TS]

00:24:21   Queen Isabella and then that he's a guy [TS]

00:24:23   whose wife is it is Isabel and is dying [TS]

00:24:27   of cancer and then there's this [TS]

00:24:28   astronaut and and it's still Hugh [TS]

00:24:29   Jackman again see wolverine [TS]

00:24:32   internationally and and he's in the far [TS]

00:24:35   future and he's on this tree spaceship [TS]

00:24:37   that's going to the star and his will a [TS]

00:24:40   10 and it's and you know the Ebert's [TS]

00:24:43   pieces is about how it's really you know [TS]

00:24:45   you could the present day is the reality [TS]

00:24:48   the past is story is the story that his [TS]

00:24:51   wife is writing because she's a novelist [TS]

00:24:53   and in the future is he had she dies and [TS]

00:24:55   he has to finish her novel and he dreams [TS]

00:24:57   that he's bringing her back to life on [TS]

00:25:00   this spaceship and it's beautiful but it [TS]

00:25:02   is it is slow and weird and when you [TS]

00:25:06   describe solaris I thought that you know [TS]

00:25:08   that sort of like the fountain although [TS]

00:25:09   although some sunshine the danny boyle [TS]

00:25:12   movie is also slow and weird and I'm not [TS]

00:25:15   sure it makes sense more like you have a [TS]

00:25:17   large it yeah I sort of a great a great [TS]

00:25:19   game you can play is summarized are [TS]

00:25:22   incredibly complicated movie in one [TS]

00:27:50   sponge I did was your Jules Verne [TS]

00:27:52   basically as the inventor of science [TS]

00:27:54   fiction right yet essential that one [TS]

00:27:56   could argue he's a time traveler because [TS]

00:27:58   he really had way too much knowledge of [TS]

00:28:00   the future when you wrote the book on it [TS]

00:28:01   really great the future or perhaps [TS]

00:28:03   everybody read the books and was like we [TS]

00:28:05   need to move [TS]

00:28:06   course this kind of societal that's [TS]

00:28:08   that's a 4 chronological very pleasant [TS]

00:28:10   pleasant work you just get passed a note [TS]

00:28:13   from our studio i did and they read I [TS]

00:28:16   think he was content are you contending [TS]

00:28:17   the dead George George Orwell is the [TS]

00:28:19   only other creator of science fiction [TS]

00:28:20   because animal farm had talking animals [TS]

00:28:23   i think you can just argue the george [TS]

00:28:26   orwell as the the forerunner of the [TS]

00:28:28   downfall of modern cinema as a result [TS]

00:28:30   because if you've seen the Garfield [TS]

00:28:32   movie original responsible George Orwell [TS]

00:28:34   is really the Garfield sequel a tale of [TS]

00:28:36   two kitties [TS]

00:28:37   what has two puns in the title which is [TS]

00:28:41   just because tail is really an eye out [TS]

00:28:57   had any regrets in his life and he says [TS]

00:28:59   no well maybe car filled that isn't in [TS]

00:29:03   also it has a fantastic movie star [TS]

00:29:06   Garfield ya mi or tail of two kitties [TS]

00:29:08   know both both on my top ten view them [TS]

00:29:11   really it's one movie and have to split [TS]

00:29:13   into because i was too much seriously [TS]

00:29:15   one Garfield back and go back and watch [TS]

00:29:25   haven't had a chance yet to read this [TS]

00:29:26   this article passengers by a French [TS]

00:29:29   friend who sent some article about how [TS]

00:29:32   the prequel the Star Wars prequels are [TS]

00:29:34   actually really really awesome treasure [TS]

00:29:36   we know we are now it is now the [TS]

00:29:38   incomparable podcast because because [TS]

00:29:40   this hour we're gonna start throwing out [TS]

00:29:42   right now it was just an idea later dude [TS]

00:29:45   I haven't read this article yet but it [TS]

00:29:46   apparently there's this guy who really [TS]

00:29:48   earnestly argues that the prequels were [TS]

00:29:50   really George Lucas's finest work and [TS]

00:29:52   it's just like the the self delusion [TS]

00:29:53   that must go into that is just I find [TS]

00:29:55   that fascinating [TS]

00:29:56   well maybe he's on a type of drug that [TS]

00:29:58   we just haven't discovered you and ya [TS]

00:30:00   know really like drugs we were talking [TS]

00:30:03   about and mom but Stephen Fry know we [TS]

00:30:06   were talking about [TS]

00:30:06   well find out about look at that there's [TS]

00:30:08   this there's this some old movie serial [TS]

00:30:12   that we're all supposed to watch for a [TS]

00:30:13   future project for the uncomfortable and [TS]

00:30:15   we were talking about how how that was [TS]

00:30:18   it turns out that there was a show when [TS]

00:30:19   I [TS]

00:30:19   kid you might have seen it these people [TS]

00:30:22   are too young called cliffhangers i [TS]

00:30:23   don't know if you remember that but it [TS]

00:30:25   was an NBC show in the idea was it was 3 [TS]

00:30:26   20 minute segments in an hour and it was [TS]

00:30:28   three different stories and it was maybe [TS]

00:30:31   when the show began it was like part two [TS]

00:30:33   of the one store in part 4 and part 5 [TS]

00:30:35   and then every episode had a cliffhanger [TS]

00:30:37   and one of those is actually based on [TS]

00:30:39   the short that we're supposed to watch [TS]

00:30:41   and I and and i was talking I think [TS]

00:30:44   maybe the damn about this and and he [TS]

00:30:46   said well you know that was what George [TS]

00:30:47   Lucas was getting at was that kind of [TS]

00:30:49   we're joining the middle of the action [TS]

00:30:50   with episode 4 [TS]

00:30:52   unfortunately he then felt compelled to [TS]

00:30:54   make the first three [TS]

00:30:56   I mean it went from being kind of like [TS]

00:30:57   an interesting artsy like you're in the [TS]

00:31:00   middle but there is no beginning and no [TS]

00:31:01   ending right and then into now this is [TS]

00:31:04   beginning its narrow and it's not that [TS]

00:33:07   procrastinate while doing a [TS]

00:33:08   multimillion-dollar TV show how to write [TS]

00:33:10   a book about not reading the TV show [TS]

00:33:12   that you're being paid to write but one [TS]

00:33:14   of the things in it there's some good [TS]

00:33:15   technical detail in there it's just [TS]

00:33:16   interesting if you want you know we [TS]

00:33:17   watched enough TV to know about how some [TS]

00:33:19   of the sci-fi steps made they talked [TS]

00:33:20   about effect days which I hadn't come up [TS]

00:33:21   and so he'll write a script and then it [TS]

00:33:23   gets red by the production team and they [TS]

00:33:25   send it to their other effects house [TS]

00:33:26   will be like okay well this thing you [TS]

00:33:48   make it across this gap and blow up that [TS]

00:33:50   ship and whatever haha where they are [TS]

00:33:51   but oh well I'm not saying that's not a [TS]

00:33:54   time-honored rite like I mean you know [TS]

00:37:45   well mix well serve searcher serve 12 [TS]

00:37:49   chilled over ice [TS]

00:37:55   all lemons which is what's what's your [TS]

00:37:58   what's your favorite TV show of all time [TS]

00:38:00   you have won a television show of all [TS]

00:38:01   time could God actually okay yeah you [TS]

00:38:05   got you know I would probably go with [TS]

00:38:07   them actually a great show that is in [TS]

00:38:09   and of itself not science fiction but [TS]

00:38:11   it's sort of an homage to its paste I [TS]

00:38:13   knew you were gonna say that [TS]

00:38:14   sports night is a close second sports [TS]

00:38:16   nice and space mountain but it's again a [TS]

00:38:19   second so so we taking my top to do you [TS]

00:38:21   feel this with sports and as I feel with [TS]

00:38:23   Buffy that I sort of love it despite the [TS]

00:38:25   fact that in at the end it was good [TS]

00:38:27   because I don't honor it season of [TS]

00:38:29   sports know there's only 20 to start [TS]

00:38:30   season 2i thought it seemed like three [TS]

00:38:32   because the second season was so bad up [TS]

00:38:35   there are there are some downsides of [TS]

00:38:36   the second season in terms of plot lines [TS]

00:38:38   but the writing is still good though the [TS]

00:38:40   rating in the characters are still like [TS]

00:38:41   although I thought the second season [TS]

00:38:42   really miss of sports night really [TS]

00:38:44   misused the women characters and made [TS]

00:38:47   them more kind of broad and chriqui and [TS]

00:38:49   i would agree to a certain extent but i [TS]

00:38:51   think i was so glad to have the laugh [TS]

00:38:53   track on from sports night / levels also [TS]

00:38:55   there are fantastic [TS]

00:38:57   I mean you have william h macy nada arc [TS]

00:38:59   which is he's great well you know his [TS]

00:39:02   wife's on the show yeah well [TS]

00:39:03   me and I'm very dynamic like they did I [TS]

00:39:05   have good chemistry for America the [TS]

00:39:07   dialogue sparkle so that's great but [TS]

00:39:09   space space i think with again which is [TS]

00:39:11   an interactive hey simon pegg Jessica [TS]

00:39:13   Hynes nay Stephenson and directed by [TS]

00:39:16   edgar wright and of course right and [TS]

00:39:19   Pegg and Nick Frost went on to make [TS]

00:39:21   shaun of the dead [TS]

00:39:22   uh-huhs and the forthcoming at some [TS]

00:39:26   point third part of what they call I [TS]

00:39:28   believe that that grouping will be [TS]

00:39:29   called the blood and ice cream trilogy [TS]

00:39:30   they have said which has no particular [TS]

00:39:33   you know there is no thread between them [TS]

00:39:35   other than they thought wouldn't it be [TS]

00:39:36   cool to make a zombie movie wouldn't be [TS]

00:39:38   cool to make like a cop action movie and [TS]

00:39:40   I think the third one is like a doomsday [TS]

00:39:41   movie of some kind sometimes someday [TS]

00:39:43   eventually led zeppelin's but space is [TS]

00:39:46   based if the best part of it is if you [TS]

00:39:48   manage to get four years I just had the [TS]

00:39:50   the region to British dvds because i got [TS]

00:39:52   i got into the show was still airing [TS]

00:39:54   because i was living in the UK at the [TS]

00:39:55   time my friends like you have to see [TS]

00:40:01   was hooked within an episode and went [TS]

00:40:03   back and got like the first season of it [TS]

00:40:04   wash all of it but the the best feature [TS]

00:40:08   on the dvds is they have an homage [TS]

00:44:05   yes the as a television show it had its [TS]

00:44:09   flaws but i love the characters and the [TS]

00:44:11   beautiful thing about sports night is [TS]

00:44:13   there's a quote for every occasion [TS]

00:44:14   writer in I mean there's not very many [TS]

00:44:18   television shows that I mean who only [TS]

00:44:19   run for two seasons but for by large x [TS]

00:44:22   large for any situation that I've been [TS]

00:44:25   in my life to date there's a sports [TS]

00:44:27   night quote and it's always funny and [TS]

00:44:30   you know there's the characters are just [TS]

00:44:32   fantastic [TS]

00:44:33   I as you know i read i have two degrees [TS]

00:44:44   i have already met Rick Moranis it's [TS]

00:44:47   time to transplant but cannot ride by [TS]

00:44:50   you know interesting thing i was [TS]

00:44:52   actually making a list of my favorite [TS]

00:44:54   television shows and television shows i [TS]

00:44:57   need to watch a couple games ago yeah [TS]

00:44:59   well no because I had a huge I had a [TS]

00:45:01   huge Luke I keep trying a man top five [TS]

00:45:03   list in my calendar whatever fine that's [TS]

00:45:06   your friend of mine was asking me what [TS]

00:45:08   my top five television shows were and i [TS]

00:45:10   went i was like sports night spaced west [TS]

00:45:13   wing and i stopped at three and aaron [TS]

00:45:15   sorkin yeah well I've only a little bit [TS]

00:45:17   like girls but no I mean anti Josh [TS]

00:45:21   breathing heavily gunshots fired i [TS]

00:45:23   realized that i had to split up into two [TS]

00:45:25   categories at one point because there [TS]

00:45:27   are best overall television shows and [TS]

00:45:29   then there are best seasons where the [TS]

00:45:32   overall series is terrible but [TS]

00:45:34   specifically can make an entire list [TS]

00:45:36   that's just top like top 10 [TS]

00:45:39   and TV shows that were cancelled before [TS]

00:45:41   Sally would not make suggestions to get [TS]

00:45:43   your ID Castile say there's there's a [TS]

00:45:45   great book called what happened to the [TS]

00:45:47   Hall of Fame i think i'm going to [TS]

00:45:48   mention this before i'm not sure why I'm [TS]

00:45:50   by Bill James the man who invented for [TS]

00:45:53   baseball statistical analysis ne ne ne [TS]

00:45:56   is that one or it and then he did the [TS]

00:45:59   historical baseball abstract and he has [TS]

00:46:00   this concept of theirs theirs career [TS]

00:46:03   value and peak value and it's true when [TS]

00:46:06   you're judging a baseball player [TS]

00:46:06   hall-of-famer are the Hall of Famer not [TS]

00:46:08   that's the question is do you pick the [TS]

00:46:10   overall like career that's like well [TS]

00:46:13   over 20 years he was really good or do [TS]

00:46:15   you say well he only played for 15 years [TS]

00:46:17   and he was really kind of mediocre for [TS]

00:46:19   for some of it but when he was good he [TS]

00:46:21   was fantastic and it's TV shows are [TS]

00:46:23   sometimes like that to wear yeah you [TS]

00:46:25   know like buffy is my favorite show of [TS]

00:46:26   all time but the fact is if they had [TS]

00:46:28   made the last two years I'd be okay with [TS]

00:46:30   my wife and we're huge fans of that 70 [TS]

00:46:32   show is very very funny it was you know [TS]

00:46:34   as our childhood it was great and so I [TS]

00:46:36   are my childhood is right in this room [TS]

00:46:38   and I campsite and I've never the oldest [TS]

00:46:41   man in the room but today I the but it's [TS]

00:46:45   always great show for the first few [TS]

00:46:46   seasons we turn on whatever the last [TS]

00:46:47   season of myself that study shows on [TS]

00:46:49   when i started watching her like did [TS]

00:46:51   they kill all the writers would you know [TS]

00:46:53   after the actors are standing and [TS]

00:46:55   they're moving like marionettes their [TS]

00:46:57   accounts happens usually harder i think [TS]

00:46:58   the drama's because there's the writing [TS]

00:47:00   staff changes land and also just because [TS]

00:47:02   Kanye's like it's hard to laughs and you [TS]

00:47:04   you have a certain set of characters and [TS]

00:47:05   you play out all the scenarios right and [TS]

00:47:08   so it also many shows you know basically [TS]

00:47:10   jumped the shark because you you get [TS]

00:47:12   them into more and more far-fetched [TS]

00:47:13   scenario someone more community when [TS]

00:47:16   morgandy got promoted Jonathan winters [TS]

00:47:19   came as they had a bad yeah there's [TS]

00:47:21   always this horrific i mean there's [TS]

00:47:22   always the the annoying neighbor next [TS]

00:47:23   door problem which in what's funny is [TS]

00:47:25   you can tell by the this there's always [TS]

00:47:27   an annoying neighbor next door and some [TS]

00:47:29   point but sometimes you know there's [TS]

00:47:31   some shows you've watched where the [TS]

00:47:32   annoying neighbor next door is on the [TS]

00:47:33   first episode it's a great sign of doom [TS]

00:47:35   yeah the other Bob Newhart's third [TS]

00:47:37   sitcom for instance one where he's a [TS]

00:47:38   cartoonist annoying neighbor i think it [TS]

00:47:41   was a neighborhood the annoying [TS]

00:47:42   character was in the first episode I [TS]

00:47:43   don't like the last did not television [TS]

00:47:45   shows where the annoying character so [TS]

00:47:47   slowly gets redeemed over a series of [TS]

00:47:48   episodes though in the end and then [TS]

00:47:51   there's the fourth season of coupling [TS]

00:47:52   with [TS]

00:47:52   so should never be as a force in this [TS]

00:47:55   podcast or know his identity matrix [TS]

00:47:58   sequels in public anyway my smile my [TS]

00:48:00   point is that is that I I really agree [TS]

00:48:03   with you that you have to balance the [TS]

00:48:05   list of like the ones that really when [TS]

00:48:07   they hit it were at the end I don't I if [TS]

00:48:09   you make one list you just have to [TS]

00:48:11   figure out how to balance those things [TS]

00:48:12   so for me I I've got I've got Buffy at [TS]

00:48:14   Number 17 years five of which i think [TS]

00:48:17   we're kind of peak value in the last two [TS]

00:48:19   that musical episode was great but [TS]

00:48:20   otherwise he actually not to spoil it [TS]

00:48:22   for everybody but the end of the fifth [TS]

00:48:24   year has a really nice endpoint that [TS]

00:48:27   actually would have been a good way to [TS]

00:48:28   end the show and then they went to upn [TS]

00:48:30   into two more years by my number to show [TS]

00:48:33   which for a long time was the number one [TS]

00:48:34   shows max headroom and that's to show [TS]

00:48:36   the last 12 episodes and what that's [TS]

00:48:38   easier you know I'm always right because [TS]

00:48:39   they burn out before they were like fire [TS]

00:48:41   board when p is wonderful having a great [TS]

00:48:45   year and an enema really falling apart [TS]

00:49:40   they have yeah like and she was like [TS]

00:49:42   like hammering in on twitter because she [TS]

00:49:44   is a huge doctor who fan no idea she's [TS]

00:49:47   she's really gonna get the guy Matt [TS]

00:49:49   Besler yeah his dad Lee's he was perfect [TS]

00:49:51   for that role in any place he plays [TS]

00:49:52   villains a lot and and I Simon something [TS]

00:49:55   working on Ellen and a write-in might [TS]

00:49:56   wonder why wait [TS]

00:49:58   little man no because he's the perfect [TS]

00:50:01   clean-cut all-american boys out and like [TS]

00:50:03   you can't have him play the bad guy that [TS]

00:50:05   was a great show it was a traditional on [TS]

00:50:07   the wrong network with a Tracy family [TS]

00:50:09   and one of my favorite guest starring of [TS]

00:50:11   that show was Kevin Sorbo always the [TS]

00:50:14   oldest replaced the former middleman in [TS]

00:50:17   from the sixties like the sweet like so [TS]

00:50:19   it's like basically the idea of the [TS]

00:50:20   power he's a guy like you know the [TS]

00:50:22   middleman is the guy who liked deals [TS]

00:50:23   with all the like aliens and zombies and [TS]

00:50:26   werewolves and demons and all of that [TS]

00:50:28   he's the one guy and so there's always [TS]

00:50:30   one it's like passed down and and kevin [TS]

00:50:32   sorbo plays the older middleman from the [TS]

00:50:34   sixties who had been like cryogenically [TS]

00:50:36   frozen so that he could come back and [TS]

00:50:37   fight his own is like archenemy and of [TS]

00:50:40   course he plays like he's got like the [TS]

00:50:41   swinging bachelor pad and like this [TS]

00:50:43   great like Blazer he's wearing and he's [TS]

00:50:45   just he's great and its orbit very [TS]

00:50:48   self-aware cheeseball [TS]

00:50:50   okies green marbles and his care [TS]

00:50:51   Andromeda was one of my favorite guilty [TS]

00:50:53   pleasures growing like watching on [TS]

00:50:55   saturday so gene roddenberry's Andrew [TS]

00:50:57   yes I tried to want you know i watched a [TS]

00:50:59   lot of the first season that was [TS]

00:51:01   actually not too bad and the idea you [TS]

00:51:03   know that what was interesting about [TS]

00:51:04   that show I can't believe we've gotten [TS]

00:51:05   to this to the point where we're talking [TS]

00:51:07   about gene roddenberry's Andromeda here [TS]

00:51:08   but the interesting thing about that [TS]

00:51:09   show was if you view it as a coded kind [TS]

00:51:12   of armed response to star trek as an [TS]

00:51:15   anti star trek because the whole premise [TS]

00:51:17   is basically there's a guy he's a [TS]

00:51:19   starship captain he's the United [TS]

00:51:21   Federation of Planets he's going around [TS]

00:51:22   from planet to planet to stitch [TS]

00:51:24   everything together and they're happy [TS]

00:51:25   they're happy organization and then he [TS]

00:51:27   gets too close to a black hole goes [TS]

00:51:30   ahead and time like a thousand years and [TS]

00:51:32   when he reemerges all civilizations have [TS]

00:51:35   been destroyed and everybody's at war [TS]

00:51:37   and he's a man out of time and all of [TS]

00:51:39   the people he knew were dead but it's [TS]

00:51:41   not it's worse than that the whole [TS]

00:51:42   Federation has like a couple hours on a [TS]

00:51:44   pen and he's too he's kinda screwed and [TS]

00:51:47   because it is this great anti star trek [TS]

00:51:50   and then it got really cheesy I would [TS]

00:51:52   actually say I actually kind of dug his [TS]

00:51:55   other the other gene roddenberry show [TS]

00:51:57   after his I think posterous which is [TS]

00:51:58   Earth final conflict which is kind of a [TS]

00:52:00   cheesy show but if you view again with [TS]

00:52:03   syndicated comic and drama but if you'd [TS]

00:52:05   like the first season is it has won the [TS]

00:52:07   most interesting things because they [TS]

00:52:08   kind of kill off the main character then [TS]

00:52:09   but it's basically it takes place in [TS]

00:52:11   like modern [TS]

00:52:12   day and aliens basically it showed up on [TS]

00:52:14   earth and like ostensibly it's kind of [TS]

00:52:16   like that with the androids no no it's [TS]

00:52:18   kinda a little bit of a viene tu nerdy [TS]

00:52:21   lighting in there aliens here and [TS]

00:52:23   they're kind of like maintaining like oh [TS]

00:52:24   we're nice and happy and here to help [TS]

00:52:26   well but like they have an agenda but [TS]

00:52:28   it's better than course they have a [TS]

00:52:29   letter that gene roddenberry's earth [TS]

00:52:31   final haha anyways other planets [TS]

00:52:34   beginning of Earth I thought that was [TS]

00:52:35   asked on an interesting show and had [TS]

00:52:37   some interesting dynamics is any of the [TS]

00:52:39   short it was short on TV series is [TS]

00:52:40   confusing that with earth to the not [TS]

00:52:43   earth to earth to Wow [TS]

00:52:44   there we go well I can still smell it [TS]

00:54:40   that's always a sign of good right like [TS]

00:54:41   it works out because nobody will believe [TS]

00:54:44   that's the thing is it worked for the [TS]

00:54:45   way they did the first episode it became [TS]

00:54:47   a phenomenon people like we're really [TS]

00:54:48   stoked and so when it came back [TS]

00:54:50   everybody already wanted to see it and [TS]

00:54:51   it works so they're going to try it [TS]

00:54:53   again it's like the you're right you'd [TS]

00:54:54   think they were kind of burning it off [TS]
