ARQ

[00:00:22] Scott: Does this hold up? And just what the hell is a good movie anyway? I'm Frank Roll. I'm Scott Moran. And we're the Last Video Store

[00:00:36] Scott: Yeah, but how much of your brain are you leasing to your phone? You don't have to remember things because you can just look them up again. I compete with

[00:00:46] Scott: Do you ever feel like you need to like, work to commit something to memory? Because you're getting lazy about it? Like, you've looked the same thing up like three or four times, and you remember as you look it up? Like, not what it was, but you remember looking it up before. I still don't remember what it is, but I've looked this up before.

[00:01:07] Scott: I'm 40, but I feel 37. You know what I'm saying? I'm almost 40. You don't want to be 40 and feel 20. 37 is like a nice, I feel 37. It's a good spot.

[00:01:19] Scott: it. I'll let you know. You're paperin again. You're fuckin paper. Sorry I'm twitchy. You're like the most shaky newsman.

[00:01:29] Frank: I

[00:01:36] Frank: Walter Cronkite? Anderson Cooper

[00:01:43] Frank: Yeah, I mean, you didn't even Dan Rather it. Like, you didn't even go child. Dan Rather was my favorite. Dan Rather is like the staple of our age group. That was the evening news, right?

[00:01:53] Scott: Charles Kuralt's Sunday Morning. Cause my parents used to watch that shit and it'd make me so tired. You remember that? The news show on CBS? I don't think I know that one. It's still on. Still? Yeah, it's like the most tranquil news program of all time.

[00:02:19] Scott: It's kind of like Jennifer Jason Leigh in the Hutzucker Proxy. I'll bet my pullets

[00:02:38] Scott: Jesus, you said that.

[00:02:52] Frank: their own? I'm trying to see his face from Happy Gilmore. You know who I'm talking about. I can't picture his face.

[00:03:03] Scott: the two. Yeah, you used to make me watch Happy Gilmore more than I, like, because of how often you watched Happy Gilmore, I think, that you were like, no, we're gonna watch this. I think that I had an aversion to watching it for many years.

[00:03:25] Frank: a comfort movie for me?

[00:03:33] Frank: Bill Paxton.

[00:03:37] Scott: stop. Oh God. What's her fucking name? Oh, Sean Young. Timely cause of Dune. Dune was, I

[00:03:52] Scott: It's so much story, like, and it takes its time with it and there's like no fat on it at the same time. It's really crazy. I like it. Lean like they covered so much like compared to the David Lynch dude.

[00:04:31] Scott: Ask the Marvel people. Yeah. I feel like that series just got better. Beat to death because I made it really long way before I was like, I don't think I can do this anymore. And some of that, I had to do it on audio book, but even then, you know, when the audio books of the series, you're like, no, I think I'm done.

[00:05:00] Frank: can't wait till I get my turn. I, yeah, I finally watched

[00:05:05] Frank: It took a, what is that over a year? No. It wasn't just this last summer. Yeah. So,

[00:05:16] Scott: But yeah, I've been doing paramount more often lately though. We'll watch an evil. It's like X Files with the devil. It's kind of sexy.

[00:05:37] Scott: You and your grudges.

[00:05:47] Frank: I just don't want their Paramount Plus right now, okay?

[00:05:55] Scott: Like, there's the two you always go, two or three you always go back to. The orbiters, you know, they're not gonna be good all the time. Paramount and Peacock is not as good as Netflix or Prime or Hulu even. Hulu is like the back corner of the story. They've

[00:06:17] Scott: It tickles me more. Hulu gives me that thing where I'm like, oh yeah,

[00:06:26] Scott: exactly what I'm saying. You know, it gets

[00:06:34] Scott: hit play.

[00:06:44] Frank: on there's something you have seen before.

[00:06:57] Frank: That's what I'm saying. There's some on there that are horror that you, I haven't seen anywhere else. Like they pick it up, it might go to Showtime and you know, Showtime is through Hulu anyway,

[00:07:09] Frank: And those are just hit or miss to me.

[00:07:20] Scott: Oh, I've found the most duds ever on that's, that's what you get in the back corner of the store. Yeah. You're like, what is this? Oh no. Okay. I get it. I see.

[00:07:33] Frank: have done it. I should have stayed strong.

[00:07:57] Scott: Well,

[00:08:16] Scott: much.

[00:08:35] Scott: It's got like the Hulu after dark thing. You know, you could watch those after dark movies and some of them were going to be like, all right. You know, what was it? Pookie. Oh,

[00:08:53] Frank: Couldn't tell you anything about it really, but I've, I've seen it. It happened. It did.

[00:08:59] Frank: want. Like that movie, Frank with the big head, the big head guy. It was what's his name the whole time. Did you ever watch Frank? It's even got this song. I'm not going to sing it, but it's like, He's in this, he's like this musician, you know?

[00:09:25] Frank: 1999, the Tom Sizemore with the thing. Was that that movie? Remember they had the head thing? He was like the bad guy who was Oh, Strange

[00:09:35] Frank: 1999. Strange Days. Thank you. It

was

[00:09:43] Frank: Yeah, she's like rock chick, right? Yeah. Yeah, man.

[00:09:46] Scott: yeah, the wardrobe. Yeah, she goes through some like, I'm afraid of you phases.

[00:09:57] Scott: Yeah, he's in, uh, Nope. But like, what's his name? Michael Wincott. See?

[00:10:08] Frank: I do not recall that, I'm sorry. I apologize.

[00:10:13] Frank: Well, I mean, I put, I could have possibly noticed it at the time. I'm not, you know what I mean?

[00:10:17] Scott: a little selective. I mean, we're getting way off subject, but I think that Nope might be the most rewatchable Jordan Peele movie. I need

[00:10:31] Scott: Frank.

[00:10:55] Scott: Well, and so I'll ask

[00:10:58] Scott: All

parade.

[00:11:05] Frank: movie. I knew it. I, yeah, once I saw a time loop in the description and then Olivia was like, what are you watching? And I read it in the description.

[00:11:13] Scott: day loop. You,

[00:11:19] Scott: mine. I kind of really liked that. It was like three hours though. Like it wasn't, it wasn't a day as most of these are. Yeah. Yeah, it

[00:11:29] Scott: Yeah. You're like, no.

[00:11:34] Frank: That sounds right. Sorry, I've only seen Palm Springs once. I don't remember the

[00:11:40] Frank: Repeater. Yeah, bam. Same

[00:11:50] Frank: probably.

[00:11:56] Scott: it. Yeah, I, I dig this kind of thing. And, it has like a nice, low budget science fiction thing that I like. Not everybody is into it, though. A lot of people I've dated, not into it.

[00:12:13] Frank: It's like three or four. Three or four rooms

[00:12:19] Frank: They could have made this during

[00:12:29] Frank: They were like, hey guys, you need a blueprint, check it,

[00:12:32] Scott: Engineer Renton wakes up next to his former girlfriend Hannah in the midst of a break in by three men referring to themselves as Father, Sonny, and Brother. He's knocked unconscious and wakes up a second time being dragged towards the basement. He struggles free and as he tumbles down the stairs, hitting his head, he wakes up his former girlfriend, Hannah in the midst of a break in by three men referring to themselves as father, Sonny, and brother, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:13:17] Scott: It's rigged with a high voltage electrical field to prevent tampering. But when one of the invaders touches the machine, time begins to loop. Not just that, though. All of them are not as they seem and the looping time pulls more minds into its awareness loop. Shared histories and old flames are killed over and over and over again.

[00:13:44] Frank: Needle Nose Ned.

[00:13:54] Scott: like, repeater. You didn't even need a lot of science. You No,

[00:14:03] Scott: different things. Yeah, I just took it like there. I was like, I mean, that thing's spinning.

[00:14:13] Frank: It's not creating new energy. It's reusing the

[00:14:26] Frank: I feel like parts of this are in my brain.

[00:14:30] Frank: It was. No, this had some really cool angles that I hadn't really seen before. You named all those. You start seeing patterns. A couple of these were cool. I liked it. Good little touches. Um, every time I see Arca, I want to say Arcae.

[00:14:47] Scott: No. Hahaha. Spanish soap opera voiceover? Is this

[00:15:03] Scott: to say Arque. You gonna go to the Arque? Arque? It's a barbecue, but it's an arc. Over on Guadalupe. RQ, overall.

[00:15:15] Scott: It's just here.

[00:15:19] Frank: Hahahaha. Arc was written and directed by former Orphan Black writer Tony Elliott and stars Robbie Amell as Renton, Rachel Taylor as Hannah, er, Mother, Sean Benson as Sunny, Gary Powell as Grim, er, Father, Jacob Neiman as Brother, and Adam Butcher as Cuz. The concept predates Elliot's work on Orphan Black, stuck in development for years before reverting back to

[00:15:42] Scott: Fuckin love Orphan Black. So

[00:15:49] Scott: You know how much love I have for that show? There's not a show like that. So good. It's both really well written and directed, but it's also just, how can you fuckin beat that performance?

[00:16:17] Frank: really, if you think about what that takes and to do it so well and what you have to do in a day.

[00:16:34] Frank: imagine those read throughs, it's just her.

[00:16:51] Scott: 2016. Same fuckin year. Same year.

[00:17:02] Frank: Rotten Tomatoes is a bit more harsh with a 43 percent Tomatometer score, but that's based on only

[00:17:15] Frank: Seven reviews. That's

[00:17:19] Frank: I mean, the IMDb 6.

[00:17:21] Scott: Nobody that matters has watched this movie in at least seven years.

[00:17:47] Frank: I don't agree

[00:17:52] Frank: It is. I feel like the way they presented it punched harder than how I actually felt, but I was down, you know, like I was to say that it doesn't have an ending. Did you not fucking pay attention to it?

[00:18:03] Scott: Punch down. I like that.

[00:18:12] Scott: Yeah. I mean, how hard are you going to punch? You got soft

[00:18:22] Frank: Are they puffy? This is a fucking marshmallow hands over here. Hot dog fingers.

[00:18:36] Scott: Oh, shit. Do you have any questions about the beginning of the movie, Frank? Oh, let's see. How quick did you realize it was a Groundhog Day situation?

[00:18:52] Frank: I was like, you know, is it going to be a machine, a natural occurrence? You know, is it like this valley in the mountains where all of a sudden everything changes? Because I guess I didn't pay attention to that part of the description if it did mention anything about corporate espionage and like, you know, endless energy.

[00:19:15] Scott: what I liked about this one was things happened after like once more people were, were a part of the conscious loop. You didn't start to see divergence, but like you saw each time they did that, they would have like a little more of what happened after the other person died, like there was still more time.

[00:19:39] Frank: Yes. And they, there was no real issues with changing the events of the timeline. You know what I mean? Like no action significantly changed the overall outcome. You know, you talk about time travel, time loops, you move a pencil all of a sudden, like a president wasn't born.

[00:20:12] Scott: Um, not to be confused with driving in a circle and coming out at the same place.

[00:20:34] Frank: The further you are away from the machine, the more likely you are to be conscious, more conscious in the loop. Isn't that what was determined? So like when the people who died closest to the machine weren't coming to, like the people who died further away from

[00:20:52] Scott: There was a proximity thing. He was the furthest

[00:21:06] Frank: It was a proximity thing is the consciousness order. But so I guess brother stayed the closest the whole time when he died because he never reached

[00:21:21] Frank: eat motherfucker . He's got fresh apples. Like, but damn, dude, this dude's got credits in the

[00:21:27] Scott: And they did bring that up before it was like, oh, like the world is like not doing well. Like it was like real early on. He was like, he's got fucking apples. And like, that's how they like revealed. You were like, why is this, what the fuck? Uh, it's just, it's a world with no apples, bro.

[00:21:46] Frank: What a

[00:21:56] Frank: bit. Spoiler alert! He is still on Taurus's payroll. So the guy's got money in a world with A bunch of people who don't have anything and you can't breathe the air. Uh, he had the, the dwelling, you know, his house.

[00:22:23] Frank: But you know that this dude gets the good food.

apples.

[00:22:33] Scott: which brings me to this actor. He's in code eight. Have you watched

[00:22:41] Frank: Can I tell you about it? No. Can I tell you there's a sequel just released on Netflix?

[00:22:59] Scott: He's one of the ones who are trying to summon the demon. No shit. Yeah. He's the handsome man. Don't recall that at all. This dude is destined to be in movies with Lacey Chabert.

[00:23:14] Scott: He's got that face. He's got a hell of a list. He's got a good look and he's not bad.

[00:23:23] Frank: his look alone, he's like multi purpose.

[00:23:35] Frank: in a nineties action movie.

[00:23:36] Scott: can't trust a blonde

[00:23:39] Scott: shoulder pads? I mean, that's like, built in now, isn't it? You remember, like, back in the day? In like, medieval times, when like, all the Prince Valiant types had like, the goofy blonde hair and shit? Like, everyone was blonde who was the hero back in the day.

[00:24:14] Frank: You know, maybe it's got a platinum

[00:24:16] Scott: Silver. Storm is what it is. Like the X Men.

[00:24:34] Scott: did you like the backstory or it didn't feel thin? But it felt

[00:24:41] Frank: I was

[00:24:46] Frank: No, but and then you find out that she's with one of the what are they called? What's their group?

[00:24:56] Frank: You find, so, you know, mother, she's, she's, but she used to work for Taurus also?

[00:25:04] Scott: were working together to get something from Taurus. What I couldn't figure out was how did they know that he had it? Why does this company that he works for need to plant a person inside the cell? Why don't they

[00:25:21] Frank: Like Merc it up, you know black ops style stealthy take him out get the

[00:25:29] Frank: Yeah, I mean good point this Huge corporation that's running this desolate world

[00:25:45] Scott: Mm hmm And they were like, we're going to put them on this girl's team. Just don't do the voice that you do when you do the torturing.

[00:25:57] Scott: up on it. Like there was a lot of like conspiracy going on that was like, I mean, they could just like literally like at some point it's implied that like the house is going to get raided.

[00:26:23] Scott: Convincing enough for me. Well, I forgot

[00:26:40] Frank: It's like, you don't know him. And I'm like, I know, Oh, you, it's like two dudes in high school fighting over a chick. And she's just like, I don't even know what I want. And then it's like, boom, everybody's dead. And I'm like, this is like a world ending. altering situation. And you've got two dudes over here, 16 and it up, like, you know, they got their first pube and they're getting feisty.

[00:27:08] Frank: That's what I'm saying. I'm, it was stuff like that, that I was like. Dammit, it would distract me. I'm like, was that necessary? Cause in a way I'm like, well, they needed something to invoke this or, you know, that's going to be like the, the precursor.

[00:27:29] Scott: purpose? Yeah. And it just started over again. So we got a lot of loops that were like kind of just futile and ended up just actually resulting in more people being aware of the loop.

[00:27:41] Frank: I mean. Groundhog day, somebody broke it down and they were saying what, it could have been like hundreds of years, something

[00:27:51] Frank: Um, it's that whole thing with, well, how much do you retain? But anyway, just some of the reasons you don't know that you have that many right off the bat, cause you don't know the whole story.

[00:28:17] Frank: And to me were all those necessary. And then the one with just the fighting over Hannah is just one thing. And at one point did they run for a first aid kit when somebody got shot in the

[00:28:29] Frank: It was, well, it was when home guy shot, uh, what's his name? Sonny.

[00:28:37] Scott: Yeah. It was when, uh, torture boyfriend.

[00:28:42] Scott: Was it a black, black, black boyfriend, father,

[00:28:49] Scott: arc. We come for you.

[00:28:56] Scott: the one part about her story that I thought was good, her backstory was pretty good. As far as things go, uh, his was fine, their relationship backstory where he like left her behind, that was fine with me too, and even them being petty in it.

[00:29:21] Frank: flashbacks to any romance they had or any romance they didn't have, you know? Like, yeah.

[00:29:29] Scott: So there was an attempt was made to like make these people. You know, not just, okay, they have some shared history or something like that. I thought they went a little overboard with the amount of history for each of them when they would have the conversations about it, you could just get that, like, okay, so something happened with you guys and, uh, she has a new boyfriend and you're robbing him.

[00:29:54] Frank: I mean, quite a few times they walk over and like, shut that door with the latch, like, Okay. Let's talk about it. You know, let's talk about it. Let's figure this out.

[00:30:11] Frank: something?

[00:30:20] Scott: little thing, you would think that they would have also done that just in case they happened to get loose.

[00:30:29] Scott: Where he keeps his apples. It's red delicious. Which is neither red, nor delicious.

[00:30:45] Scott: Oof. The credits? Oh, like the, oh. It was like the

[00:30:54] Frank: How'd you like how that one time she left him? A lot. I don't know. Remember she only took one. I don't know what I want.

[00:31:16] Scott: That was cool. That is one of the cool ones. Watching her become aware of like, Oh, fuck, this is happening. That was nice. Yeah. That was nice. I like, I like the turn. I like the mechanic of this. The backstory was awesome. Overdrawn a little bit, but understandable in like, what if this was an episode of the outer limits in the nineties?

[00:31:58] Frank: Yeah, well of course! Zloop! It's

[00:32:01] Scott: Zloop! Do you have the time? Zblock has the time. The time is coming. What was the deal with the self destruct code? Being sky like some of the names for things were a little like you spent a lot of time on that backstory But September 19 19 yeah sky and The block

[00:32:33] Frank: Why did we get that part of the movie?

[00:32:39] Frank: bro. It's easy to find leather when nobody can breathe outside. Um, when they finally discover that there's more to these sequences they've been through. I did

[00:32:56] Scott: Yeah, why is the

[00:33:00] Scott: yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:33:05] Scott: subgenres. Cheap science fiction. I like it.

[00:33:13] Scott: A little bit.

[00:33:18] Frank: It's like a half hour more. But, and I will say, there are parts of this formula that I haven't really seen the reaction when she's having the realization. That was good. That was really good. It was well done.

[00:33:32] Scott: Just fine

[00:33:37] Scott: I liked that and I Fucking did I write that in here? That's what I put in my notes the old jigsaw dead body trick I did put it in there. I liked that. Yeah, it was

[00:33:54] Scott: time?

[00:34:17] Scott: It was like, Oh, yep. Nope. Starts over again. It's a good twist. And I kind of like that. There are so many reviews where people are like, no end. I know. I fucking

[00:34:37] Frank: That's like a common

[00:34:42] Frank: answer. There's no it. So, I mean, those people expected them to like, show her point of view from that start to the, let's do it again. No, I appreciate that. That's a great place to end that seasons

[00:34:55] Frank: Yeah. I mean, come on, people. You could, you could go endless seasons.

[00:35:02] Scott: that, I would watch another Groundhog Day show, because, I mean, there are Russian Doll is a Groundhog

[00:35:12] Scott: speak on it. She give that one a go. It's a good one. What's

[00:35:17] Scott: there you go. Yeah.

[00:35:30] Scott: on the arc. Are you talking about the box cutter one or the, the face rub?

[00:35:38] Frank: nice for a sci fi movie to be like gory like

[00:35:43] Frank: too. That's like a crossover scene. Most sci fi stuff, you don't, because it's just the length of that scene. Then they do show the body on the ground and that's, it's a little intense.

[00:35:55] Scott: Yeah. And if it's smooth and it did that,

[00:36:10] Scott: Like a sonic hair toothbrush. I

[00:36:18] Scott: it. Oh, I bet it was so hot.

[00:36:21] Scott: friction. Was the Pope a woman on TV? They're saying the Pope, the

[00:36:31] Frank: I saw it. Yeah, so what was she in? Wind River Oh, Killers of the Flower Moon, Dances with Wolves. Is

[00:36:49] Frank: But the block put the Pope on. So the Pope was leader of the resistance.

[00:37:12] Frank: I forget what I, maybe they said, am I saying propaganda? Like I'm from Boston. Is that from

[00:37:25] Frank: I said, you guys want to, it's the second error that I've said where I feel like I was like, not unnecessary. It was unnecessary. Uh, any who, yeah, the Pope was definitely block related.

[00:37:39] Scott: or this lady who shits in the woods.

[00:37:45] Scott: I don't know. Yeah. Lady Pope. So progressive future where they don't have apples. I felt

[00:37:56] Scott: the scene.

[00:37:59] Frank: thing? Oh, and mother, father, sister, brother, cuz Sonny. So put your little hand in my eye. Do

[00:38:16] Frank: And then next thing you know, like, she wakes up, and Puxatoni Phil comes flying from the ceiling like Eeeee!

[00:38:30] Scott: So My big question is, would you watch Groundhog Day 2?

[00:38:40] Scott: made a Groundhog Day 2 with old Bill Murray.

[00:38:46] Scott: re Like he goes back because uh, Andy McDowell is dead.

[00:38:59] Frank: a grandkid goes with him. There's that two

[00:39:10] Scott: It would be funnier if they just went back for their like 60th anniversary or something like that. I heard

[00:39:19] Scott: Oh no, we're back! And they both get stuck in the loop. And it's all, it starts in the car. And they spend another thousand years stuck in that loop.

[00:39:33] Frank: Well, but then she hooks up with Needlenose Ned.

[00:39:52] Frank: wasn't using a dating service in the movie sneakers though.

[00:39:57] Scott: Even big dicked men have relationship issues.

[00:40:10] Scott: Like he was getting it, like, filler? Is

[00:40:13] Frank: It's like a homemade loaf of bread. You know how they're like round like that, you know what I mean? It's

[00:40:22] Frank: I think it was like a little mini vice story or something a couple years ago. You never heard, you never saw that guy?

[00:40:30] Scott: thought you were about to say like, be careful when you jerk off.

[00:40:33] Scott: No. You may come across this guy on the internet.

[00:40:54] Frank: uh, yeah. Dammit, Needlenose Ned, dude. You did it again. He's a fucking, he's a sleeper, man. Like you don't see it coming. Needlenose Ned just sneaks up on you with the fucking third leg.

[00:41:14] Frank: What? He's Sammy

[00:41:21] Frank: That movie, man, why did you do that? That's like Boogie Nights vibes.

[00:41:29] Frank: You know, what was it with stuff from that time? Memento, Boogie Nights.

[00:41:46] Frank: dribbled over into the early

[00:41:48] Scott: And now we're like in an age of like pure and canonical weirdness. Did you just hear, was that outside? Yeah. Did you hear that?

[00:41:58] Scott: chihuahua. Ha ha ha. Giant chihuahua.

[00:42:03] Frank: Ha ha ha

[00:42:10] Frank: It's a good movie, but I'm gonna say the C word. At times it had a bit of the corn

[00:42:22] Frank: you a couple of lines? Can I act them out to you?

[00:42:35] Scott: That's for you. You're welcome. What would you give this if you were IMDBing? If I, a 4.

[00:42:42] Scott: 7? I thought about it. I was, yeah. This would be your, that would be your IMDB score? 4. 7. Alright. I would give it a, just a plain 6.

[00:42:54] Frank: was it, a 6? Six, three, six, three. It was a six, three. Yeah. Six, three. So I think

[00:43:05] Frank: last night. I thought about that last night. Four points after talking it out with you.

[00:43:13] Scott: I'm not negotiating. You can, you can 4. 7 at all. You want, I'm going to

[00:43:20] Scott: five ladies and gentlemen, is there another podcast that not only rates things in IMDbs. Scale of one to 10, but also it's decimal points.

[00:43:34] Frank: Don't don't ever think I won't be. I will, I'll bump you point, you know, I'll bump you point to cause we've talked about it. No, good movie. Good movie. If you like the repeater, if you like the groundhog day,

[00:43:50] Frank: good point. Yeah. At one 28. So you take away credit time, time for the credits.

[00:44:03] Scott: the set. Yeah. It did wear out. It's welcome.

[00:44:08] Scott: changed. Every loop was interesting, even if it didn't have like a huge bearing on the story, uh, I thought that.

[00:44:40] Scott: And be like, let's just hope she doesn't notice. Just don't do the voice. Wait, that's the, that's the guy.

[00:45:01] Scott: this is like. Twenty years in the future, or something like that.

[00:45:04] Frank: it looked like outside. We haven't heard the

[00:45:22] Frank: was. It was. Like I said, just the certain, some of the dialogue, I'm really glad I got to read that to you.

[00:45:36] Scott: for me. Didn't need it. Oh, for sure. Thank goodness they weren't there. The fact that they stayed in that, those four rooms was a huge part of why this was good.

[00:45:53] Scott: and it was a complicated idea that didn't really Run amok

[00:46:06] Scott: even though you did say it was the first time that you are saying that this movie should have been 45 minutes long

[00:46:16] Frank: I would agree.

[00:46:35] Frank: couldn't, I'd have to see the pictures.

[00:46:41] Frank: dog one

[00:46:55] Scott: It's like

[00:46:56] Scott: there's some shit. Yeah, it's like made for tv movies So you have to appreciate it in that regard and I think that you can do that with Netflix too because I think that they have the balls to make a shitty Science fiction movie like they did in the 80s, you know, yeah fucking the Guyver.

[00:47:18] Frank: fucking

[00:47:25] Frank: and it was Like having a pull the guy her out and

[00:47:36] Scott: Yeah. The Nintendo power glove. It's Electro. Yeah. That was some sort of video game glove, man. It's Electro. Let's do another. Is that a looper? It's not a looper, but I do think it might be, uh, of a quality of science fiction that I think also tickles me. I feel like this has got a bigger budget. Oh, massive, great director, but also it went into the theater and then went right out and no one I know watched it.

[00:48:06] Frank: wanted to, I wanted to, I just didn't

[00:48:23] Scott: I like, I like going for this, this level of like, Oh, nobody liked it. I'm gonna watch that. And who,

[00:48:33] Scott: my names tonight. Little Denzel. Yeah, the creator. Yeah. I'm excited. I think this is a, it's a massive step up from this.

[00:48:59] Frank: so weird that yeah.

[00:49:19] Scott: Seventies for sure. Yeah. Um, it was there. Yeah. It had that like road warrior quality. Yeah. To the filmmaking. Oh, in the visuals, but not really.

[00:49:32] Scott: back then. Well, that story is pretty fucking rapey to begin with. Yeah.

[00:49:48] Frank: Like, God, people are so handsy.

[00:50:13] Frank: cons to each that might create a balance.

[00:50:16] Scott: that. I'm always down for it. This was kind of the sort of thing that Sci Fi Channel used to strive for, I think. But then they like got lost in the Sharknado and it blew them away. And then they just made so many. Sci Fi Channel lost its way.

[00:50:35] Frank: So now's a good time before it disappears. Hopefully it doesn't disappear right before we decide to

[00:50:55] Frank: Or do you think it's going to be Elysium?

[00:51:02] Frank: Very similar, just like in style from what I've seen. Yeah. You know.

[00:51:09] Frank: Damon! Sorry. I think it
