Gli Stati Uniti riducono dal 25 al 18 per cento i dazi sui beni indiani dopo l'intesa tra Donald Trump e Narendra Modi, che prevede lo stop agli acquisti di petrolio russo e un aumento delle importazioni di prodotti americani. Washington parla di accordo commerciale reciproco con abbattimento delle barriere tariffarie fino a zero e acquisti per 500 miliardi di dollari. L'intesa arriva mentre l'India accelera la strategia di accordi internazionali, dopo il libero scambio con l'Unione Europea e le intese con Oman e Nuova Zelanda, in un contesto di riorganizzazione dei flussi commerciali globali e di tensioni tariffarie con le grandi economie. Gli Stati Uniti registrano un disavanzo commerciale con l'India di oltre 53 miliardi di dollari, mentre Nuova Delhi viene vista come contrappeso geopolitico ed economico alla Cina.Andiamo dietro la notizia con: Alessandro Plateroti, Direttore editoriale UCapital.comDebiti fiscali, la rottamazione si allarga agli enti localiParte la rottamazione numero cinque per chiudere in modo agevolato i debiti con il Fisco: le domande per i carichi affidati alla riscossione tra il 2000 e il 2023 vanno presentate online entro il 30 aprile e consentono di pagare senza sanzioni e interessi, con un piano fino a 54 rate. L'operazione mette in gioco circa 13 miliardi di debiti, con un incasso atteso di 9 miliardi nel decennio. La novità è che la legge di bilancio apre anche alle sanatorie locali: i Comuni possono varare definizioni agevolate su Imu, Tari, canone unico, servizi scolastici e multe, mantenendo intatta la quota capitale e riducendo interessi e sanzioni. Le istruzioni arrivano dall Ifel Anci, che chiede delibere sostenibili per i bilanci e segnala alcune incognite tecniche su Tari corrispettiva, Imu sugli immobili di categoria D e liti pendenti. Le novità saranno al centro della 35esima edizione di Telefisco. Ci raggiunge in studio Maria Carla De Cesari, Il Sole 24 OreMusk fonde SpaceX e xAIElon Musk unisce SpaceX e xAI creando un gruppo non quotato dal valore stimato di 1.250 miliardi di dollari. L'operazione rafforza la leadership spaziale di SpaceX e sostiene la crescita della startup di intelligenza artificiale, puntando a una nuova frontiera fatta di data center per l AI collocati nello spazio e alimentati da energia solare. Il progetto prevede una rete orbitale fino a un milione di satelliti. Il merger valuta xAI 250 miliardi e SpaceX mille miliardi ed è strutturato come scambio azionario. Musk parla di integrazione verticale per accelerare innovazione e ricerca, con l'obiettivo di estendere le capacità tecnologiche oltre i limiti energetici del pianeta. Ne parliamo con Emilio Cozzi, coautore e host del podcast "La geopolitica dello spazio" per Radio 24 con Giampaolo Musumeci.In Francia finalmente approvato il budget. In Germania la maggioranza pensa a una riforma delle pensioni tra le polemicheIl governo francese guidato da Sébastien Lecornu supera le mozioni di censura e porta a casa il bilancio statale 2026, che punta a ridurre il deficit al 5 per cento e include misure sociali come bonus per i lavoratori a basso reddito, pasti universitari agevolati e una sovrattassa sugli utili delle grandi imprese. Il percorso è stato segnato da forte instabilità politica e governi caduti, ma ora la legge attende solo il passaggio al Conseil Constitutionnel. In Germania il cancelliere Friedrich Merz annuncia una riforma strutturale delle pensioni entro il 2026: il sistema resterà basato su tre pilastri ma con maggiore peso a previdenza privata e aziendale, con l'obiettivo di spingere la partecipazione dei lavoratori alla crescita del patrimonio nazionale e rafforzare il mercato dei capitali. Il commento è di Daniel Gros - direttore dell'Institute for european policy making della Bocconi.

врх Банска Стена.En: Miloš was checking his backpack, confident in his goal - the summit of Banska Stena.Sr: Јелена је дубоко удисала хладни зимски ваздух, уживајући у чистом и мирном окружењу.En: Jelena took a deep breath of the cold winter air, enjoying the clean and peaceful surroundings.Sr: Стефан је са нестрпљењем погледао надолазеће облаке.En: Stefan looked anxiously at the approaching clouds.Sr: Био је опрезан човек и лоше време га је бринуло.En: He was a cautious man and the bad weather worried him.Sr: "Морамо пожурити," рекао је Милош, одлучан.En: "We have to hurry," said Miloš, determined.Sr: "Желим да стигнемо на врх пре сумрака.En: "I want us to reach the summit before dusk."Sr: ""Снежна олуја се приближава," упозорио је Стефан, гледајући небо.En: "A snowstorm is approaching," warned Stefan, looking at the sky.Sr: "Можда би требало да размислимо.En: "We might need to reconsider."Sr: "Јелена је климнула главом, али је ипак желела авантуру.En: Jelena nodded, but still craved adventure.Sr: "Можемо покушати и видети докле можемо ићи," предложила је.En: "We can try and see how far we can go," she suggested.Sr: Кренули су стазом, сваки корак крцкао је под снегом.En: They set off on the path, each step crunching under the snow.Sr: Дебеле гране биле су прекривене беспрекорним белим покривачем.En: The thick branches were covered with an immaculate white blanket.Sr: Ветар је почео да појачава, носећи пахуље које су величанствено плесале.En: The wind began to intensify, carrying snowflakes that danced magnificently.Sr: Док су се пењали, време је постало све горе.En: As they climbed, the weather worsened.Sr: Снег је почео да пада брже и густи.En: The snow began to fall faster and denser.Sr: Ветар је завијао кроз дрвеће, и видљивост је била ограничена.En: The wind howled through the trees, and visibility was limited.Sr: "Треба нам склониште," викао је Стефан кроз завијање ветра.En: "We need shelter," Stefan shouted through the howling wind.Sr: Милош је осећао како га вуче страст према врху, али се сетио својих пријатеља.En: Miloš felt the pull of his passion for the summit but remembered his friends.Sr: "Ако наставимо, можда нећемо стићи на време," размишљао је наглас.En: "If we continue, we might not make it in time," he thought out loud.Sr: Али жудња за врхом га је терала да настави.En: But the yearning for the summit drove him to continue.Sr: Док су дискутирали, нагли налет ветра је засенио све.En: As they discussed, a sudden gust of wind overshadowed everything.Sr: Изгубили су једни друге из вида.En: They lost sight of each other.Sr: Милош је остао сам, растрзан између сна свог живота и безбедности својих пријатеља.En: Miloš was left alone, torn between the dream of his life and the safety of his friends.Sr: Застао је на тренутак, слушајући завијање и дубоко у себи знао је праву одлуку.En: He paused for a moment, listening to the howling and deep down he knew the right decision.Sr: Окренуо се и почео да тражи Јелену и Стефана.En: He turned and started to search for Jelena and Stefan.Sr: После неколико напетих минута, угледао их је склоништене под великом стеном.En: After a few tense minutes, he saw them sheltered under a large rock.Sr: Осећај олакшања испунио је његово срце.En: A feeling of relief filled his heart.Sr: Замислио је мирно како би стајао на врху Банске Стене, али сада је био испуњен спокојем што су сви сигурни.En: He imagined calmly standing at the top of Banska Stena, but now he was filled with peace knowing they were all safe.Sr: "Добро је да смо поново заједно," рекао је Милош.En: "It's good that we're together again," said Miloš.Sr: "Важније је да смо безбедни.En: "It's more important that we're safe."Sr: "Стефан и Јелена су се насмешили, осетивши нови заједнички дух.En: Stefan and Jelena smiled, sensing a new shared spirit.Sr: Схватили су да је најважније што имају једни друге.En: They realized that the most important thing was having each other.Sr: Вратили су се стазом, одлучни да се врате неки други дан.En: They returned along the path, determined to come back another day.Sr: За сада су имали једни друге и то је било довољно.En: For now, they had each other and that was enough.Sr: Спустили су се са планине, животно искуство које им је променило приоритете заувек.En: They descended from the mountain, a life experience that forever changed their priorities.Sr: Њихова пријатељства су процветала, а Милош је научио да је њихов добробит важнији од било ког врха.En: Their friendships blossomed, and Miloš learned that their well-being was more important than any summit.Sr: Тај дан на Тари остао је у њиховим сећањима као важна лекција о истинским вредностима у животу.En: That day on Tara remained in their memories as a significant lesson about the true values in life.

In our first live Monero Monthly, Max and Seth are joined by Riccardo “fluffypony” Spagni for a candid tour through Monero's origin story and culture. Riccardo dives into the chaotic Bytecoin days, how a secret fork birthed Monero after a contentious merge-mining push, and why missing comments, odd code obfuscations, and a deliberately crippled miner set off everyone's spidey senses.Riccardo shares the serendipitous formation of the Monero Research Lab—hiring Sarang and Surae via a Reddit post—and a hilarious Utah road-trip mishap that bonded early contributors. They also explore how Monero's antifragile culture emerged from a strict no-price-talk ethos, pseudonymous contribution, and a relentless focus on usable privacy that's helped real people in difficult situations.They close with reflections on delistings, decentralised access, level-headed responses to network “attacks,” and how Tari aims to provide privacy-first smart contracts without compromising Monero's design. Listener Q&A covers delistings pushing P2P adoption, cultural decisions that made Monero durable, handling selfish-mining FUD, practical privacy in tightening EU regs, and what Tari brings to the table.

Milyen lelki állapotban van az ország 2025 karácsonyán? Hogyan lehet szabadulni attól, ami nyomaszt? Mi lehet a gyógyír a gyerekbántalmazási botrányokra, a Szőlő utcai traumára? Mi a baj napjaink boldogságeszményével? Karácsonyi lelki podcastbeszélgetés – az ünnep miatt csütörtök helyett kivételesen már kedden – Tari Annamária pszichoanalitikussal és Kókai-Nagy Viktor református lelkész-teológussal.

And as the spirit of revolution continues to rise in the Metropolis, where her loyalties truly lie is no clear thing. Trigger warnings for references to family death, grief, neglect, poverty throughout, discussion of surveillance tactics throughout, mention and discussion of police brutality and government force against its people, implied systemic racism/misogyny, discussion of political violence, and discussion of medical procedures and parental abuse and neglect.

Isang sabungero ang naghangad ng hindi matalo-talong manok at nakatagpo ng mutyang nahulog mula sa isang bulalakaw. Nang ikabit niya ito sa tari ng kanyang manok, dumami ang panalo, ngunit kasabay nito ay may kakaibang pangitain na sumusunod sa kanya—mga matang nagliliyab at anino ng nilalang na tila nagmamasid sa bawat laban.

Earning 100 PAI points seems to trigger improvements in mitochondria, blood viscosity, and endothelial tissue.HIIT Defined: High-intensity training is defined as working at a threshold of 30 beats per minute below your maximum heart rate—the intensity level where you can speak to someone but you cannot sing.The Dose: Higher intensity exercise needs to be done every second day because the cellular and molecular benefits are short-lived, lasting only about two days.Personalized Activity Intelligence (PAI): This metric is a compass for longevity. There is a linear association between PAI score and VO2 Max—chasing PAI points ensures you are getting the required intensity and duration for physiological adaptation.Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://longevitybuilders.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠to discover book and The Longevity Builder Health Lab

In our finale episode with Dr. Tari Mack, we talk about the messy, beautiful truth of what actually changed our lives during the 4 years of recording this podcast together. Dr. Tari opens up about her personal journey through heartbreak, the terrifying year she spent learning to be alone, and how facing her deepest fear led her to the most aligned, peaceful chapter of her life yet. We talk about taking space as we have pursued our own journeys, the idealized self we're all chasing, why it's keeping us stuck and how meeting yourself in the mess is actually the greatest part of the magic. Expect spirituality, soul path discussions, intuition and more.

On this episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, Fitness Oracle, Big Shark, and Coach Tari pull up with pure chaos and hot takes.From "any man who eats breakfast is a Barbie" to "gym girls wear tight outfits to attract men," this episode is HEATED from start to finish.

A paved over parking lot where there was once a home, a radio tower that once seemed tall enough to touch the sky, and memories that linger long after the years have passed. Invisible connections link Metropolis West, Cair Mallplex, and Glasshouse--and what's been left in each of them will have to be reckoned with. Trigger warnings for references to family death, grief, neglect, poverty, cults, diaspora, protests, police presence and police brutality (specific references to protest disruption tools), chase sequence, uncertainty (could be read as gaslighting.)

Fantastic Four: First Steps Is this, the 4th attempt at bringing the Marvel Universe‘s “First Family” to the big screen actually as fantastic as it purports to be? Well, we have finally settled on a look and feel that best suits the classic super hero squad: and it’s ‘60s Retro-futurism all the way for one and all!!! It’s a whole new universe of Marvel stories starring Omni-daddy Pedro Pascal, serving C&%t Vanessa Kirby, Joseph “i’m on fire!” Quinn and Ebon Moss Bacharach (or baccarat as Quinny thinks he’s called) as the truly Fantastic Four! In this film we kick of Marvel‘s Phase 6 and usher in a new style and direction of storytelling, but is it actually good?  Listen in and find out! These fantastic four reviewers are here for this one, so it’s all hands on deck as we hit this faster than light! https://youtu.be/ZkJszcpuQwQ A huge shout-out to the fantastic flexible friends and their robot helpers who join in with our moderated live-chat during the Twitch stream, each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEST.

Middle not at the start.  Quinny  Ohh OK, I just call it fan 4 stick because it’s it’s easier to say.  Dion  Ohh, that’s right, it’s Jamie Bell.  Quinny  Ohh God that’s.  Dion  Right, you remember.  Speaker 2  Whoops.  Quinny  He was the young.  Dion  Billy Elliot.  Speaker 3  Yes.  Quinny  And and the young, chipper guy out of of the first king or the the King Kong movie that Peter Jackson did.  Dion  And he was also tin tin. But that was who made.  Quinny  It so not really who you would think. Yeah, would fit in a giant thing.  Jill  Memorable.  Dion  That he was the. Thing, yes.  Quinny  And Karina makes a good point, a arresting piece to Julian McMahon, who was the 1st Doctor Doom actually. Sorry, 2nd Doctor Doom.  Speaker  Yeah. Yeah.  Dion  Yes, because there was a doom.  Jill  I did rewatch the 2005 version on the weekend just for a bit of nostalgia. Yeah, I like those trashy ones. They’re great. They’re so campy and stupid.  Speaker  Did you?  Quinny  What did you think of it?  Speaker  Yeah.  Jill  And I look back on them. And I’m like, wow, the simpler times where we did comic book films. And we really, really did make them comic bookie.  Speaker  Yeah, man. Yeah.  Dion  And finally.  Jill  Well, we weren’t going. For all of the realism and stuff.  Quinny  Yeah. And they didn’t have to fit in with some. Gigantic *******. Thing.  Jill  I will tell you practical effects. Thing I don’t know I like. Yeah, CGI 1 is like that, feels like. A cheap cop out.  Quinny  Right. OK. OK. Fine, no suit.  Jill  With balls on it and not put in. Any effort and? Just animate it.  Quinny  You know what?  Dion  Wait, do you mean wait?  Peta  The fine effort.  Jill  Hey, it’s a different kind of effort. I’m like, let’s get our hands dirty and make a ******* stinky suit out of foam expanding. Foam or something like that and. Of course, some lung disease. Let’s get into.  Dion  I’m I’m going to like, I’m just going to take it on part of the actors there. Sometimes I’m just going to be like, yeah, maybe they don’t.  Jill  It.  Quinny  This is Jeff.  Dion  Want that? Maybe they don’t want to spend 16 hours in a makeup chair to to to do. Yeah.  Speaker 6  As a cosplayer, I I would agree, but I would also disagree because I think it would be fun to make it.  Dion  Sure. I mean ultimately it’ll be that great thing of like they make someone do that and then they just go oh.  Quinny  I’m. I’m just.  Dion  We’re just gonna CGI it.  Quinny  Well, The thing is, there was a there was a lot of the thing in this one that was actually practical. Like there’s quite believe it or not, there’s there’s shots that they hired a a pretty big wrestler to be the body for it. So on set. A lot of the time there was a practical suit, dude of roughly the right size. Is.  Jill  So we’re not talking about a guy that’s just standing in there in a green zentai.  Quinny  No, I mean when when they’re doing it with Evan Moss, Baccarat, then he was in the uh, whatever the **** he said. Backup, backup, backtrack.  Dion  Doctor rap. No. Baccarat. That’s a.  Quinny  Alright.  Dion  Game I know.  Quinny  Dion  Know you’re in a casino in Monte. Carlo yes, guys.  Quinny  Anyway, when he was on set, yeah, they they had this entire certain stuff like that. But there were quite a lot of it that was shot any time they needed, like a wide shot and everything. They actually had a dude in a suit with the. Ohh head and everything. Cool. Alright. Yeah, I’ve I’ve seen the the pictures of that, but I’ve also in the chat just put a link to the 1994 one and the thing in that Jill, you would love that one because the the suit actually looks more like the comic book character than any of the others have.  Jill  I love the terrifying dead. Eyes.  Speaker 3  I know.  Dion  I mean, it’s great. It’s yeah, it’s very thingy.  Jill  That’s. Yeah, that’s.  Speaker 6  Look at that thingy over there. That thingy.  Dion  Yeah, that, that, that is definitely something I’d go. What is that thing? If I saw it in a in a thing?  Jill  With that young man with fake grey sideburns.  Quinny  I know, right?  Dion  Yeah. Hey guys. I’m trying hard here, Joe. What?  Quinny  Honestly, if you could find that film. Like this. This is I love this one because my my thing with Fantastic Four it it started with this film because I was one of those ******* nerds who heard that there was a film that got made and was never released. So I then went and hunted.  Speaker  For.  Quinny  It and I, you know, back in the days of VHS trading, got somebody to send me a *******. VHS of this film that had never been released, and I’ve watched it. It’s terrible, but it’s actually got a lot of, like, it’s trying really hard.  Jill  And. Nice.  Quinny  To do all of the things that are fantastic, four movie should do just with no budget. Hmm. So yeah, like it’s got Doctor Doom. It’s got the mole, man. It’s it’s got them all doing their powers. But like Reed, stretchy arms are like pool noodles with a with a *******. A glove on the end.  Jill  I mean that’s still image alone is giving vibes of like 70s Italian Spiderman.  Dion  Yes, got a bit of that. I mean, you’ve gotta. What’s what’s the what’s the the crossover slash league like the Marvel Group, you know, secret wars thing. It’s the 1989 Punisher. Dolph Lundgren. It’s the the Captain America film. It’s the Fantastic Four film.  Quinny  Hmm.  Dion  You know, it’s all of those ones Pre Marvel Universe. Mashed together. And you’re like, what is this strain? ******* place, but we don’t. Here, we’re in a different, strange place this time. We’re in much more budget, some bigger names and some.  Quinny  Yeah.  Dion  Finally, they sort of kind of got people who give a ****. Quinny  Yeah, yeah.  Dion  About doing something fun.  Quinny  Yeah.  Jill  And that’s nice. Surprising what you’re going to accomplish when you put in some time and effort.  Speaker  Yeah, isn’t it?  Dion  Isn’t it’s kind of like oh.  Quinny  And when you? And when you’ve had three goes at it before and gotten it wrong three times. You kind of go. Well, **** it. We’re gonna hold off on this one because, I mean, Fantastic Four has always been seen as Marvel’s first family. Like, you know, they’re they’re one of the very earliest Marvel superhero groups. And you know, we’re what, 40, you know, 39 films in now something.  Speaker 5  Sure.  Dion  More, I don’t know 112 where 112 films in now. That’s how many there are. I I won’t be fact checked.  Quinny  And we’ve, yeah, and now we’ve just introduced the very first Fantastic Four stuff. So yeah, it’s it’s an interesting one. I mean, obviously they were tied up in rights for. A long time.  Dion  But yeah, I mean. Look, it’s fine. We’re just going to ignore the rest of those fan 4 test. Stick, whatever it is.  Quinny  Can’t ignore them.  Dion  We have to stick, then forget stick. That’s what I. Yeah, we’re gonna ignore that.  Quinny  Not. The autistic fans.  Dion  We’re going to, we’re going to ignore that. Michael B Jordan, he’s also Johnny Storm. Yes, I know, right. No, he’s not Killmonger. He’s definitely Johnny storm. We’re also going to ignore that Captain America.  Quinny  Ohh yeah yeah, he was one of them.  Speaker  Yeah.  Jill  Was also Johnny Storm and Captain America.  Dion  Was also. Stone. Yeah. Yes, exactly. We’re going to ignore all of those things and focus very.  Speaker  Yeah.  Dion  Much in Comic Daddy and his family and Pedro Pascal’s not not happy just being space Daddy, Apocalypse Daddy and General General Daddy.  Jill  Yeah. Thanks, daddy.  Dion  Now he’s also comic Daddy.  Quinny  Hmm.  Speaker  Yeah.  Dion  Yeah, along with.  Quinny  Is there anything he can’t, daddy?  Dion  You know what? Hollywood will not let him. Not daddy something. He’s in there now forever. Like. Yeah, he will just. He will just keep doing it until everyone collectively gets sick of him. And I’ll be able to return to an anonymity.  Quinny  Hmm. I just realized it is the summer of Pedro, it’s.  Jill  Summer picture.  Dion  Yeah.  Speaker  Been just realized.  Dion  Multiple summers.  Quinny  It was another ******* attempted Fantastic Four.  Dion  Oh. Have you? Yes, grey tailed.  Quinny  Well, technically. There was another Reed Richards. Ohh John Krasinski but that.  Jill  Yes. Yeah, that’s right.  Dion  That’s in Multiverse of Madness, which is so the. But that’s not the Fantastic Four.  Quinny  Yes, from. Marvel Universe. He’s one of the breeds.  Jill  He was. He’s Mr. fantastic.  Dion  Is he though?  Jill  Yes.  Quinny  He’s Mr. spaghetti by the end of. It but anyway.  Dion  Yeah, like I mean, yeah, that’s just on film, but it it, it wasn’t the Fantastic Four and this is what we want to focus on. It’s about these group of people and. How they’re represented in cinema? Yeah. What you’re not.  Jill  Capturing in the audio is our eye rolls.  Quinny  Massive massive eye roll.  Dion  Come on.  Quinny  Beyond wiping away John Krasinski from the from the entire multiverse of of anything, and we’re all going. No, no, no.  Jill  Yeah, that’s because they don’t. Can’t do a convincing cosplay of John Krasinski’s Mr. Fantastic. You can only do the Pedro.  Dion  No, I cannot.  Jill  Dion  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and if you squint, the Ian Crawford one.  Speaker 6  You’re clean shaven for that one.  Quinny  I’ve just had an eye. Yeah, my eyes are not that ******* blind.  Dion  OK, then fine. I’ll go with this one if this. If he’s part of the Fantastic Four Canon, you need to cast the other three members of the Fantastic Four in those universes. Who is it going?  Jill  That’s true. OK. Oh my God. Yeah. Can we come back to this at the?  Dion  No immediate. OK. We’ll give you time. Time. Yeah, time.  Jill  End of the show. We’ll be here for 15.  Dion  Minutes. Yeah. Yeah. So if if if John Krasinski’s Mr. Fantastic and chat go and throw some something we.  Quinny  Man. Need to sleep? Yeah.  Speaker 6  ******* Emily Blunt. I would go. Emily Blunt force.  Jill  Storm.  Quinny  **** yeah. Yep, Yep. You down to?  Dion  That yeah, Karina, just like gonna get to the. Synopsis yet guys.  Speaker  Yeah.  Peta  You know, keep getting pushed.  Speaker  Push.  Speaker 6  Push by the chat. Let’s go.  Speaker 2  Yeah, that’s a wow.  Quinny  I’m being bullied by the test.  Peta  This film about.  Quinny  What is this film about it? No, I’m not gonna. I’m not gonna do the synopsis now because I’ve been told. I have to.  Jill  No. Ohh yes.  Speaker 6  Jesus.  Dion  Christ.  Jill  That sounds like me energy.  Dion  Peta  Settling into that demand avoidance there.  Dion  Come on. Tony, have you got? Have you got some synopsis?  Peta  Yeah.  Quinny  For us it is. I have got a. Synopsis for everyone but Karina.  Peta  To be fair to Karina, it’s been 20 minutes.  Jill  Can you do it in a Brooklyn accent? OK.  Speaker 3  Forced ohh. Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, the Fantastic Four must defend Earth from a ravenous space God called Galactus and his enigmatic herald the Silver Surfer. And guess what? It’s clubber and die this.  Quinny  Ohh, cool, that’s it. That’s the whole book. Was an opposite. Trust me, there was an even shorter one.  Speaker  Is that it?  Speaker 6  Yeah. Wow.  Dion  I love sofas, yeah.  Speaker 6  Silvers, soyfer yeah, soyfer.  Dion  Some some more continents and vowels in there that I remember from.  Speaker 3  Hey, I’m going down the street and I’m going to start some some flights. Yeah, yeah, yeah.  Dion  Yeah, that’s about it.  Quinny  Hey, get that man some cookies. Thank you. I.  Dion  Would love some cookies. That’s kind of what the movie is about and I’m, I’m I’m with it like this isn’t one of those films that you went and saw and you’re like, oh, great, we get to have an origin story of how did they get their powers, how did. They do this like how do we go through that? They were like, no, you know what?  Quinny  Ohh thank God.  Jill  Yes, we just got a tidy. Little vignette, and that’s all we needed.  Dion  Yep. Quite a long vignette really explaining like how they fit into the world and how suddenly the the brokers of World Peace and everyone looks up to them and they’re the world’s family.  Quinny  Yep.  Jill  Yeah, I kind of love it.  Dion  I mean, OK.  Jill  They’re. They’re paragons.  Quinny  Yeah. And we, the the important thing to note is that we’re in a different world here we are in. We’re not in the regular Marvel Universe. We are in a weird kind of quasi 60s future pop, yeah, different reality.  Speaker  Mm-hmm.  Speaker 3  It’s.  Dion  It’s 60s futurism, so it’s just it’s there’s a divergent.  Speaker  Hmm.  Dion  From our history to where it has ended up in this Earth history, and I’m I dig it, I dig the style, imagine in the 60s if four people got shot into space and came back and had all these powers and solved a bunch of problems.  Speaker  Hmm.  Dion  And a bunch of other things happen. That’s how that kind of goes. It’s like, yeah, well, you know.  Quinny  Yeah. And the difference.  Speaker  I mean.  Quinny  Not actually stated what year this is, is it?  Dion  No, no, it’s just the different earth.  Quinny  Yeah, right.  Dion  And what that is. But people don’t have.  Jill  Yeah, it could be current day 2. 616 Earth we don’t.  Quinny  Yeah, yeah.  Jill  Know that’s just what this earth.  Dion  Yeah. Looks like there’s big. There’s big kind of LED screens, but no cell phones.  Speaker  Slide.  Peta  Yep, well, it’s kind of like they’ve kind of gone. We don’t need to put energy into making TV screens flat. We’ll just have giant non flat TV screens and faster than light space travel. Yeah, yes. But we’re gonna do with that extra energy.  Dion  There’s there’s like.  Quinny  No.  Dion  You know. Yeah.  Peta  We don’t need to put energy into like inventing MP threes. We’ll just keep records. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And teleporting.  Dion  Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.  Peta  Think of what we could have done as humanity.  Quinny  I didn’t know.  Dion  Exactly all of our computerisation goes on tape.  Jill  Yeah, I mean. Yeah, we invented cassettes and then CD’s and then digital format music. And now we’re back to ******* records again.  Quinny  So yeah, but they just didn’t bother leaving the the records. Yeah, because they realized it was the the superior format from the start, especially if you print them in.  Dion  Yes. Gold. And if you haven’t got a troop of players in your lounge room. You know, yeah. Eventually we’ll get to there, won’t we, like? Oh, this is my 9 musicians that follow me around and. Play music to me.  Speaker  Yeah.  Quinny  Yeah. I mean, yeah. Karina and Casper both kind of make the point. It’s very jetsons.  Dion  Yeah. And that’s kind of great because that’s very familiar to the people who knew fantastic for for when they were growing up based on the cartoon, which is the the sort of.  Peta  So jetsons.  Dion  The carry over of where people would sit from the Saturday morning kind of cartoon and. You know it it it sets the tone that everyone could easily get into and I went, I’m here. I immediately know what’s going on. It has a different Marvel logo, it has a different kind of a soundtrack. It’s setting itself in a in a particular period and I was like, I’ll go with this. This is totally different to every ******* thing else. This isn’t a dark and gritty reboot. This isn’t. Anything really to do with the rest of the Marvel Universe? Yeah, kinda. Which makes me happy. And I was like, I’ll go with this. I’m immediately just going to be like, all right, what do you got?  Jill  Yeah. I think the thing that’s so immersive about it is the visual language that they’ve lent into so strongly and so thoroughly like the the set design and production. All the set pieces, the costumes, everything like that was like. Beautiful, like there was such attention to detail and there was not like a wasted moment on screen. It was so interesting that we’re talking about like, how like futuristic retro it is but. Like the. Costuming wasn’t futuristic. That was still like grounded in 60s fashion.  Speaker  Hmm yeah.  Dion  I had a really good time just watching the sets and the costumes. I was like they have actually paid a lot of detail to the costuming, not only of the signature folk, but the people around them too. Looked sharp as ****, I gotta say.  Quinny  And.  Jill  Yeah, like the the space suits and their hero suits were were still like. Grounded within like that 60s, like retro futuristic style, but had like the the strong 60s fashion elements as well in terms of like the textures of the fabrics and things that they used but the the colour theory throughout was fantastic and yeah just the the visual language that they. Used in this film was just so Cohen.  Peta  It’s a joy for. The arts, hmm.  Dion  Joy for the eyes until we get to the failure of the film.  Quinny  Wow. Jesus. OK, so, so just a reminder folks, the deal also sat through Superman and huffed.  Speaker  Go further on.  Dion  I did. I did half. He did half I wanna also. Caveat that I did see Fantastic Four, but beforehand I had.  Speaker 6  So.  Dion  To watch. Beforehand I had to win. The Avatar trailer 17 times. I don’t. I don’t know how to explain that in terms of everything else, but I had to sit through the Avatar trailer. Too many ******* times, and that may have influenced my decision. And how I enjoyed that film slightly too many times.  Jill  Anyway, yeah, it’s almost like they strapped you to that chair and made you watch them 17 times.  Dion  They kind of did. Yeah. You know, because you know, as we all know, in those kind of cinema things, the seats are gold. And if you leave one, you’re done. It’s going coming back but anyway.  Speaker 3  Yeah.  Dion  OK, enough of that. Fantastic for what? What are your first four impressions?  Quinny  I just wanna know why you’re getting ready to throw it.  Speaker 2  Hello.  Quinny  Under the bus. To you ohh.  Speaker 2  No, no.  Quinny  Like there have been a couple of times that you’ve already kind of started. Coming out of. Swinging. I wanna know why the big.  Speaker  There is.  Dion  Rubber punches out. Well, first, I mean, we all hate John Krasinski. And. No, I’m just joking. That’s. Three just threw that out there for.  Peta  Come on for John Krasinski. And he’s not like.  Jill  He can’t even defend himself.  Quinny  He’s such a nice guy. Everybody talking.  Dion  About, I’m talking about how effusively I love the costuming, the design, the aesthetic, the way that it just kind of moves the story along really, really quickly. It throws in some amazing nods and references to the historical stuff, like there’s covers of famous Fantastic Four issues thrown in very quickly. I know you’ve got.  Quinny  Oh my God, that made me so happy.  Dion  Classic villains like Mole Man and the Red Ghost. Yeah. Ish red. Red ghost off.  Speaker 3  Well, sort of.  Dion  Like all of that stuff is kind of great. Herbie is amazing. The fantastic car, which I think often gets ignored. Quinny  Yeah.  Jill  Uh-huh.  Dion  In, in a lot of, this is part of the fun about the Fantastic Four is all of the bits and pieces that Reed comes up with. That’s all kind of themed Herbie, as I said. Yeah. And he was.  Quinny  Great. OK. Does everybody know the history of why Herbie exists?  Jill  No.  Quinny  OK, this is my my favorite stupid piece of ******* history. So in the 60s, when the Fantastic Four was being turned into a cartoon, they went OK we’re going to do the Fantastic Four and the standards people of America went hang on. One of the characters is on fire.  Speaker  Tell.  Quinny  We can’t have a children’s TV show where the children want to emulate the heroes and have a character be on fire. Why not so? In the 60s cartoon of Fantastic Four. Johnny Storm is removed entirely and is replaced by Herbie. This is where Herbie came from. Wow.  Speaker  Oh. Yeah.  Quinny  So the fact that, like the fact that he’s in the movie is ******* hilarious. But his history is even better.  Jill  That’s wild.  Quinny  And I’m pretty sure he actually talked in the animated series, but yeah, and didn’t just make bleeps and.  Speaker 6  Wheels. I like the Droid vibe it was.  Dion  Didn’t. Yeah, it didn’t sound like. Yeah, it didn’t sound like a 60s frickin B.  Speaker  Yeah.  Dion  I just. I just remembered something. Thing when we get this Sue storm into the proper Marvel Universe, she’s going to have to come up against Namor, yes.  Quinny  Hmm.  Dion  And and that’s a lot of that’s a that’s a whole. Jean Grey, Wolverine, Cyclops thing going to happen right there anyway. That’s right.  Jill  That’s something we can work on.  Dion  Later. Yeah, there’s a lot of smart in that one anyway, yeah.  Speaker  Yes.  Quinny  And apparently on on the set all the time, Vanessa Kirby is like, So what? What’s going on with Namal? Pedro’s like, for ***** sake, right?  Dion  Here she knows what’s going on. She gets all the cast members.  Quinny  Mm-hmm.  Speaker 3  Yeah.  Dion  Yeah. Look, I. Had a great time with it, like, you know, really good introductions to quick introductions to characters. Everyone got a little bit of ability to show who they were as characters very rapidly. Like, you didn’t have to pay to. Much there, but I also really appreciated how much they felt like a family and they felt caring and it was showing them in a particular way, which it wasn’t like, oh, these are conflicted people. They don’t know how to, you know, where’s the drama? I mean, the drama isn’t in the family. The drama is external forces. And I think they got that really well because there was a really cool vibe to sort of be like ohh this is, this is cool kind of family like like I I would take children to watch it and be like see, this is how you’re nice to each other. You don’t have to hit each other. You know.  Quinny  Don’t set each other on fire.  Dion  Don’t set each other on fire. Try stop working so hard.  Quinny  Pete Jew talk to me.  Jill  Oh my God. Ohh feels like so long ago but it was only Friday.  Dion  Four days ago that you saw it.  Jill  Ohh my goodness, I really liked the film. I had a good time. I saw it well. I mean, all the things that I said about the costume and set design and all that stuff was just fabulous. I thought like the story pacing was good. Like they they got to the point and they, you know they executed ABC. You know, here’s what’s happening. Here’s our problem. And here’s how we overcome. It, like they did that. UM. I thought the action bats were good. But again, I’m just not getting my **** blown off. Guys. The jet film. We’re back to the **** rating scale. OK0 **** means it was ******* amazing because they blew them both off, but two **** is bad because it doesn’t mean that I didn’t like the movie.  Quinny  Back to. Rating system.  Jill  It just didn’t **** **. Way and it made me start to think that there was something wrong with me. Like am I not finding enjoyment out of these movies anymore? Like is it becoming passe? Is it like over saturation? Like what’s the issue? I think what the issue is is that too many movies. Are just safe. They’re in a safe zone. They do what they do on the box and they do no more than that.  Speaker  Hmm.  Jill  I’m not getting any like thrill, danger, excitement from these movies anymore. It feels really middle of the road and pedestrian and that’s not to say that Fantastic Four was a bad movie. It was a good movie because it did its job, but it didn’t go above and beyond. And become an exceptional film. And I just, I feel that way about Superman as well. That was not exceptional to me, and it just kind of feels like every time we go and see a big blockbuster, I come out like feeling it was it was middling level.  Speaker  Yes.  Quinny  I agree, but I want to keep Pete’s. Take on it? Sure.  Peta  I think it’s very well constructed, beautifully made. Film, I mean, we’ve talked about the production design and the look of it already, which is great. You know, we’ve talked about the the structure which is logical and probably better constructed than Superman. And and I do think it’s funny that I’ve kind of liked the exposition. Free tool here that I hated so much and electric state, same tool, different vibe. It’s it’s easy to get into and you want it to be because there are some plot points that that, that require a very high level of suspension of disbelief. Even for a comic book movie, you know, usually I I I I try to give the the Budweiser and the ********* like. A bit of a break in in certain genres, but I struggled a bit with a couple of the plot points that very much drove some parts of the story. Because it was a bit wibbly wobbly. Sciency want see? Yes. Yeah, like, don’t.  Jill  Get into the proton stream, but get into the proton stream, yeah.  Dion  Yeah, you’re Superman.  Peta  That was and, and I think the issue is I I I get I I have a tendency to get a little bit distracted if I can’t. If that suspension of disbelief gets interrupted, and I think that these particular plot points were distracting enough that even though I was enjoying the film, I still. Got kind of. Kicked out of this story a. Little bit by thinking? Yeah, but Nah.  Quinny  Are these things that need to be talked about in spoilery territory or?  Peta  Ohh, everything needs to be talked about in spoiler territory. It’s it’s just and if they weren’t plotted drivers.  Dion  OK, alright, fair enough.  Peta  It would have felt a little bit different as well, but it it did kind of feel like as well constructed and entertaining and beautiful as the film is. I kind of agree with Jill that you kind of I didn’t personally come out of the end of it going like. **** yeah. Amazing superhero film. It was just kind of like, ohh, that was like really well constructed and good looking and entertaining. And yeah, Pedro.  Quinny  I I have, I agree very much with with everything you guys have said. My biggest problem with it is that. The movie didn’t have its next gear up like all the way through it puddled along at an enjoyable kind of pace. It was doing what was needed, you know, things were kind of getting, you know, you had your action beats and stuff like that. But then when you get to your climax. It doesn’t have the next gear, it can’t shift it back a cog. And really. Go ****. Let’s go. It didn’t have that it, you know, the the climax I kind of was like and oh, OK, right. We’re done. ****. OK. Huh. And that’s. Kind of implementing of the whole film that it’s really well made as as we’ve all said, well made, well shot, lovely costumes, lovely everything.  Jill  Great performances, everybody was on their a game.  Quinny  But nothing that made me go ****. That was a moment. Like, you know, there was nothing. There was no moment like.  Speaker  Yeah.  Quinny  The thors hammer. With that, America, there was no kind of really emotional beat of.  Speaker  Yeah.  Quinny  Vision saying you know that love is just pain. You know, whatever. I can’t even remember the quote. But you know those those those really like deep seated moments that make you go ohh. That got me right in the heart.  Speaker  Hmm.  Peta  Which Thunderbolts did for me, and that, you know, I. I guess if if if you’re going to hold it up against superhero films we’ve seen this year from a.  Speaker  Hmm.  Peta  Is it a good movie?  Speaker  Hmm.  Peta  Mm-hmm. You know, well-rounded perspective, I would still put Thunderbolts ahead of this, regardless of how beautifully. Thought out the world was.  Quinny  Yeah, like there, there were lovely moments and their lovely ideas. I love the idea of the whole world pulling together to go **** we’ve got. Eight months to build something or, you know, and we’re all going to pull in this together and we’re all going to come together over something. It’s a great concept, but it just never felt like it had those that, that personal danger of what we saw in Thunderbolt and. A lot of people who are doing the, which one did you like more, Superman or or fantastic? 4. I personally thought the Superman took more risks. You know, it was weirder. It was.  Peta  Well, it was more. It was more current in in its messaging and the. The risks that it. Was taking in that messaging as well, and I think also you kind of.  Dion  Hmm.  Peta  This is a bit of an imbalance, I suppose in the rate that one escalates because you can kind of attempt to escalate the stakes to the highest possible point and the escalate them so high that the audience cannot believe. That. That jeopardy is going to come to pass in that context, which actually, which actually kind of destroys that moment, is kind of gotta be like a believable, worst case scenario that they’re facing. Not like, well, of course, they’re trying to find a way to avert that. There’s gonna be a little part of you that’s like.  Quinny  Hmm.  Peta  Ohh, they might fail, which I kind.  Speaker  Hmm.  Peta  Of felt in this.  Quinny  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, like.  Peta  Otherwise, you don’t feel the jeopardy, you know, the way that you should.  Speaker  Hmm.  Quinny  Yeah, and and I don’t know, I feel like something like Superman has has more of a an alter kind of vision behind it. Like, you know, that felt like James Gunn saying something and his whole thing about found family and his whole thing about being outsiders and, you know, he. He has a particular thumbprint that is all over that. This one I couldn’t tell you. A thumbprint it was.  Peta  Which is funny because it is tonally and structurally much more consistent.  Quinny  Absolutely.  Jill  Yeah, it’s a. Package. Yeah, it has an aesthetic and it, you know, executes that, but yeah.  Quinny  Yeah. And and like.  Jill  There’s there’s special sauce.  Quinny  Yeah. And and I don’t. Know what it is because. I was wanting to get excited. I was super wanting to get excited and it just never quite hit me. And even when big things happened, I was like.  Jill  Karina made a good point that she thought we were going to see them fail. Based on what we saw in the post credit scene of Thunderbolts and I want to make a point where I kind of wish that that scene never existed because it coloured my expectations.  Speaker  Hmm.  Jill  This film I was going in.  Quinny  Yes, I’m.  Peta  I forget what that scene.  Jill  Was ohh that’s actually it was it was there. There was like ohh we can. We’re picking up something on our radar and then they zoom into space and they see the Fantastic Four ships flying through space and that bit. Yeah. Yeah. So I had a different expectation of what I was expecting in this film. And so I’m like.  Speaker 6  It’s just.  Dion  Just a a rocket ship in the sky. Kind of, or if it is, we don’t know.  Jill  Just on the edge of my seat the whole time, thinking. Well, how are they gonna get to our earth? When are we gonna see that? When are we gonna see that? And. And I’m like, so I wasn’t in the moment with everything else that was happening because I was anticipating something else to.  Quinny  Yeah. Yeah. And and maybe that’s that, that other cog that.  Speaker  Happen.  Quinny  I was expecting. Maybe that’s the the the next thing up is that you know, they do like, fail or they do something that that then took it to a different level.  Speaker  Yeah.  Jill  That causes them to and then this is how we get to this moment. But like now that we’re not going to have The Avengers doomsday film until another 18 months.  Quinny  Jill  I’m like, wow, how are they going to get our butts in the seats for that one?  Quinny  Yeah.  Jill  Because after watching this movie, I’m like. Ah, I don’t really know where we’re going.  Quinny  Neller.  Peta  At the end, do you feel safe now with your opinion to share?  Dion  I mean, my opinion is based on Fantastic Four and how I enjoyed this movie or didn’t.  Quinny  Which is a really difficult thing to do to to take the movie entirely on its own. Yeah, been its own value and.  Speaker 2  What?  Quinny  So aside from my expectation, aside from the other movie I watched a week and a half before, yeah, aside from.  Dion  Yeah.  Quinny  All of that, yeah.  Dion  Look there. This is the thing. Like I I really like to to throw this through. I really enjoyed Thunderbolts because it broke expectations that I had. I was there for it to say, what are you gonna do with this? And I was. Like wow, that is a great movie. I had certain expectations about Superman or I was wondering what was going to go, and I felt it wasn’t as good as I thought. It’s going. And I went to Fantastic Four. Saying how is this going to go? And I thought, yeah, I had a little bit of the same thing the the ending. Thing towards the end and some of the reasoning and stuff I was a bit like oh, this doesn’t make sense and I don’t understand where it does or doesn’t fit and I feel like they’re going to have to for some reason do another one in that universe for some reason. And I’m just a bit confused. I feel like it just kind of didn’t. You’re right, had that. Where’s that gear? Where’s the gear? Range. Where does it go up? Where do the stakes get bigger? Where does it become really important? But really I liked it because it. Was you can see across the entire movie from start to finish. It was a love letter to the time of the original Fantastic Four. Like all of the Kirby, all of the weird stories are just written into it. So it is made with a lot of reverence and a lot of love. And I really liked that because there was good messaging that was in there.  Speaker  Hmm.  Dion  The execution or some of the reasoning is just I don’t know how this fits. In the rest, like I love that it’s an outsider film, but I also don’t then. But what’s are we are we going to follow these people? Is that the point or is it just having a second one? Like I don’t. Know like it’s another Fantastic Four is like.  Quinny  Yeah.  Dion  Will we see him?  Jill  Yeah. Are we making this movie just to make a sequel? Just so we can make? Money.  Quinny  Yeah. Well, or are we making this one just because we needed to have a really good bad guy for the MCU. We’ve already announced who that bad guy. So we really had to have this film before doomsday could happen.  Jill  Yeah. There’s a lot of very upset people in. Our screening at the end of this movie.  Quinny  Yeah, yeah, there was.  Dion  Yeah, Speaking of bad guys, how do we feel about the villain aspects of this one?  Speaker  Hmm.  Jill  I was curious to how I would ever see Galactus executed on film, and I think it. Up to a point, it was well done.  Dion  Is it? Is it better than the giant cloud?  Speaker 6  Ohh yeah, we don’t need.  Dion  So the.  Jill  Some amorphous cloud like I want to see an actual Galactus and like how?  Dion  So.  Jill  Do you do? That I mean, especially after we had the Eternals where, you know, we have things God like beings in space, it’s like, OK, well now how do we make a Galactus?  Speaker  Hmm.  Jill  That was really cool, but then there was a moment where I thought it was. Not cool. Maybe I’ll talk about that in sport.  Dion  How? How did you feel about Charlotte Owl?  Jill  I thought it was sick. I’m like, yeah, let’s go back to the original Silver Surfer. Yeah. People will be surprised to know the original Silver Surfer was not a dude.  Quinny  I I knew that Michelle label was an alternate, but I didn’t realize that. Jill  I think the original Silver Surfer was a woman, and then it was her lover that begged Galactus to trade places with her.  Quinny  Yeah, yeah. Entry.  Dion  Interesting, yeah.  Jill  And disappointed we didn’t get the what if Aunt May was the Herald for Galactus and we didn’t get the golden oldie.  Dion  What are you talking about? Marisa? To me, isn’t that old?  Quinny  I I think.  Speaker 3  No.  Quinny  I think there were there were sequences in there watching the the Silver Surfer surfing through.  Speaker  Ohh.  Quinny  Like Kirby Crackle, ******* cosmic power surfing through black holes where I was like, **** yeah, this is cool. You know, surfing around curving laser beams and ****. I was like.  Dion  Well, grab. Yeah.  Speaker 3  Yes.  Dion  ******* hell yeah, that’s that’s the weird success stuff. That was the bitter.  Speaker  Hmm.  Dion  Was like, oh, this is great. Like, how do you put the Silver Surfer in? Why does it doesn’t even make sense. And it’s like, yeah, it does. If you lean into that. Crazy kind of 60s vibe that it originally was about. It’s like, yeah, I’m just gonna surf, like, through cosmic waves, man, it’s. Like. Cool. That’s fun. Yeah, it helps if you take LSD.  Quinny  Hmm.  Speaker  Yeah.  Dion  You know.  Quinny  Like there was something so ******* cool with all of that visual stuff. Yeah, that up until now, we’ve never really gotten because the only other time we’re seeing the Silver Surfer, he was on Earth, so it didn’t have that real cosmic kind of.  Dion  Maybe. He was the T1000 man.  Jill  Thing, yeah.  Speaker  Hmm.  Dion  He just kind. Of morphed around as needed for the plot.  Quinny  Your thoughts on on the Silver Surfer?  Peta  Neutral. Cool. I I don’t have a lot of feelings about the Silver Surfer as a character, but I thought she was. I thought it it was cool execution.  Dion  Yeah.  Quinny  Hmm. Yeah, look cool. And I like the the human eyes too. I thought that was kind of cool. Yeah, cause you I feel like you still need something to latch onto for a motion, yeah.  Speaker  Mm-hmm.  Quinny  I thought that was smart.  Speaker  And. Look, there’s look.  Dion  There’s lots of fun stuff in there. Standouts for me. I I I need to say I really annoyed that they didn’t rename it the fantastic six because to be honest, there are 6 characters in this movie. By the end of it, you’re watching it like there’s not just four, there’s more. Who you’re following through with, which was a bit of a surprise because I was like, OK, right. You’re just going to lean very heavily into the entire thing. Sure. I really. Kirby, I love that they went into galactic space because that’s kind of that’s that kind of that’s really fun. Like Reed Richards is that kind of character who, you know, is your prototypical 50s, you know, American Americanized painting, you know, of, like, it’s a pipe and slippers and, you know. Dad’s home.  Jill  Yeah. The Norman Rockwell. Yes. Please looking forward.  Dion  Yeah, absolutely. 100% The Rockwell and it it. But presented in that very conservative way, but he’s not a conservative. Like you know, it’s kind of like I’m just going to learn how to fold matter and bend this, and then we’re going to space. All right, everyone, safety third. Let’s go. That’s kind of Reed riches. Like he built a thing called the Ultimate Nullifier. And it kills anything in the known Marvel Universe. And then he’s just like ohh someone.  Quinny  He’s.  Dion  Like.  Speaker  Like.  Dion  ******** Reed, you know like.  Quinny  One thing you you said to me afterwards too.  Jill  Yeah, I mean. He just casually solved teleportation in this.  Dion  Yeah, yeah.  Jill  Film or whatever.  Quinny  Whatever. Whatever one thing you said to me too, and I agreed like they’ve always struggled to get Reed Richards powers looking good on screen. Like it’s very hard to do stretchy guy without it looking dumb, but one of the things that is kind of sad is that in the.  Dion  Yes.  Quinny  The comics and everything. Quite often you’ll see him, and that stretchiness of his body is a. Is. A all about echoing who he’s mentally. Yeah. So his arms are over here. You know, riding on the blackboard and his other arms over here, smoking a pipe and his head is, you know, stretched out over here, looking at the, you know, out the window or something like that. And there wasn’t much of that. It was very much like, this is traditionally handsome Pedro.  Peta  Yeah.  Jill  It’s it’s tiny. Yeah, it’s a tiny bit like he was doing. A little bit of the blackboard. Stuff and the catching things, but.  Speaker 6  Yeah, I don’t.  Jill  I don’t think we really got to see him actually use his powers much in the film as a whole.  Quinny  Nope. Nope.  Dion  It’s very, very expensive to animate Pedro Pascal.  Peta  It’s it’s a dump power.  Speaker 3  Pete. Pete, in there, it’s true.  Jill  I mean, it might be a time you. Would change your mind.  Speaker  Yeah.  Speaker 3  Blubbering time, no.  Quinny  Should we rate it because we are, we’re going on a.  Peta  Yes, yes.  Quinny  Long time. Ohh good.  Jill  Oh my goodness. I don’t know. I’m gonna pick a number.  Dion  How many tips off Jim?  Speaker 6  Yeah, the tip scale. Yeah, yeah, yeah.  Jill  Yeah. The two tip film, but.  Quinny  I mean, I’m gonna. I will change the rating system if I have to, but it’s gonna really.  Dion  I had some I had some issues with it, but I did enjoy. I had a fun time. I’m gonna give it a 75. No 70. I’m gonna go 70. Sorry. I’m. I’m back down a little bit mainly because I really loved.  Quinny  On the website.  Dion  The scenic I love the the the characters together. They didn’t quite mesh as much and I felt like some of them were lost like I think Ben Grimm’s the thing.  Speaker 6  Hmm.  Dion  Totally kind of lost in the hole as much to do. No, I I didn’t get enough of that thing because one of the most important things I know about Ben Grimace, he’s the real heart of the team. And while that was great, like I loved, you know, uncles, you’ve got uncles going on there. I loved it. You know, Johnny and and Ben are totally down for, you know, being uncles. I just thought he got a little bit lost and I have big issues with some of the purple headed warrior of the lactose, which I’ll talk about in spoilers, but yeah, overall fun time. Not a long time.  Quinny  Fair enough, Pete. Number.  Peta  I’m going to say I’m going to say I’m going to say 76 because I do think that it was. Really well put together but. The the I mean I’ll have some stuff to say when we spoil some things. Yeah, I’ll try to keep it brief. Actually, there was one point I think I said to you guys that I’d nearly walked out of there with more tips. Than I started with.  Quinny  I’m still wanting to know how that works.  Peta  Luckily, luckily I I didn’t have to go full rage out on it.  Quinny  So I’m very impressed.  Peta  Umm. But yeah, it’s just those kinds of like those those plot points that that just didn’t quite work for me were just a little bit kind of too conveniently driving the plot. And I didn’t quite buy even in the world of the story, that really kind of helped me back from from. Losing any tips at all?  Quinny  So so number of tips is 2. Hmm but. Peta  Ohh, also the young Kelly’s Uncanny Valley baby was distressed.  Quinny  Though apparently that they had a live baby on set 99% of the time.  Peta  In some shots, I was gonna say you, but you can tell the. Shots that aren’t, yeah.  Dion  Yeah, yeah. Babies don’t look like babies on screen. You gotta pay. They yeah.  Peta  I mean, either it was a fully uncanny valley baby or they were doing something to kind of make the baby look like it was looking, but there was something. Yeah. And whenever whenever Ben Grimm’s holding the baby, it’s like. That ain’t no real.  Jill  Baby, what number did you give it, Pete, 7676.  Dion  Yeah, we all know.  Quinny  And Dion, still at 70, isn’t.  Dion  He. Yes, I’m still there.  Quinny  Yeah, Dan, how many tips have you got left by?  Dion  The way? Yeah, just one tip.  Quinny  Wanted.  Jill  Only go off 1.  Dion  I only want it. Yeah, I mean, well. I mean, I don’t know. It’s moved. Maybe the **** moved like it. It’s not in the same place it started out, but it hasn’t gone completely off. It’s around the side visiting the armpit.  Jill  You can’t. But I gave Superman.  Quinny  I can probably look it up if you want.  Jill  Yeah.  Peta  See, I just kind of take it on a mood basis. It’s on a day by day basis.  Dion  Briefly.  Quinny  Hmm.  Dion  Phil was right. I mean, I think. One of the telling things long rated.  Peta  Never compare my ratings for one movie to another movie.  Quinny  Superman 65.  Speaker  Oh.  Dion  While while Jill is thinking, I mean it’s fair enough. Remember, she only saw it like 4 days ago and it feels like.  Jill  OK, here’s the weird thing though. Like after I watched Superman, I kind of wanted to see it again, but I don’t know if that was to try and enjoy it more or like to get the things that I didn’t really get about it. But this one I’m not really like in a rush to go back. To the movie for it.  Quinny  Hmm.  Jill  But. I did like it more than Superman. Then. I think I’m going to give it. 69.  Speaker 3  Nice.  Dion  Nice.  Jill  It was just a nice movie.  Quinny  Yeah, 69 and still 2 tips.  Peta  Yeah.  Dion  Quinny, what have you.  Quinny  Yeah. Got. I’m very similar to you know, I’m I’m probably I’m probably more in line with the pizza like. Yeah, 70. I’m going to go 77. I don’t know why. Yeah. Actually.  Peta  Just feels like a 77.  Speaker  Vibe.  Quinny  Like I I was a bit more warm on Superman whereas this. Like it’s it’s a perfectly fun, pleasant film. Like there’s nothing wrong with it, but it also just to me, felt like it. Was. Didn’t have much, particularly to say. Other than you know, wouldn’t it be nice if we could all work together and yeah. But also, maybe that’s what we needed at the moment is something that wasn’t too dangerous or whatever and. I don’t know. Yeah, it’s it’s 77 for me, but I just find it so.  Dion  Weird. We’ve, we’ve, we’ve, we’ve focused a lot on the non spoilery side and we’re running rapidly running out of time. So let’s go to the dinner clip to find out why they’re all such a nice blending together, then come back and see how much we. Can jam pack into spoil it section?  Peta  Leave if you haven’t seen it, because I’m going to spoil the very, very, very end of the film.  Speaker  Dion  Pete is thrown down. Here you go, alright?  Speaker 5  What are you doing? You mean what am? I. Doing and then you’re gonna ruin your appetite. I’m hungry, but never late for Sunday dinner. Should we wait?  Speaker  I guess you’re late. What I what do you?  Speaker 5  Mean. What do you mean? What do I mean?  Speaker  You’re late for dinner. Ohh yes we are. We’re late for. By single minute.  Speaker 5  Dinner. Yes, we were just just had to.  Speaker  Some aloe iodine on my shoulder. We got. Do his shoulder and.  Speaker 5  Why is that breakfast cereal in the dinner table? Why are you being?  Speaker  Weird. Not not being. Acting. Weird. Well, I’m doing that weird thing with your face, so. Oh, we don’t know what you’re talking about.  Speaker 5  Are you pregnant?  Speaker  Jimmy at the pregnant.  Speaker 5  Yes, yes.  Speaker  You know, I know he just cannot.  Speaker 1  That have you looked at your husband’s face?  Speaker  Keep his secret.  Speaker 5  What, really, yeah.  Speaker 2  What you are going to be the best mom? Oh, my God.  Speaker  And you are going. To be the best dad. Just kidding. You are out of your depth, but we. We’re going to be the best uncles ever. OK, we should eat.  Dion  Oh, there you go. Yes, that is exactly the kind of thing that we loved about the film. It’s really nice. Spoiler logos up, Pete. Destroy away. Oh, wait. Sorry. She has been there at the beginning. She will be there at the end. We here. Peter.  Quinny  ETA.  Peta  It’s not even my biggest complaint. It’s just that there was a moment at the end where I was like, I am going to have to have another full on rant about killing off female characters via self sacrifice and doing it to two female characters in one scene. UM.  Quinny  Thank God.  Peta  They recovered. They did recover. They recovered from it a bit and it didn’t really feel like it wasn’t going to recover. But for a moment there I was like, oh, oh, we are going to throw down.  Jill  I don’t believe you didn’t realise the magic baby was gonna save the day.  Speaker 3  Sacrifice.  Peta  I did. It did, but there was a part of me that was kind of like you better ******* not.  Dion  Yeah, yeah, there was a little bit of that was it? It’s like, don’t you ******* dare? Jesus Christ, he’s not a. Defibrillator. He’s a baby.  Jill  I mean, you don’t have a. Magic mcguffin. The whole time and then not? Yeah.  Speaker 3  Yeah.  Dion  True, although, but as as we all.  Peta  My biggest my my bigger complaints.  Dion  Know Franklin Richards. The monster.  Peta  My bigger complaints were were the iffy plot points like I’m like, correct me. I’m not a linguist, but I’m pretty sure you cannot translate an entire language with three words like I don’t. I don’t know that that’s possible. The Rosetta Stone had more than than than 3 words.  Speaker 3  Yeah. Hmm.  Dion  Now.  Peta  I I don’t see how I don’t see how.  Dion  Important to understand that this is in the Universe 8 to 8 where things can exist a little differently and they are not this bog standard and it was one of those.  Peta  Oh.  Speaker 6  But it’s it’s.  Jill  Things are like super.  Peta  It’s not the kind of plot point that you can explain away in your brain with that kind of reasoning like it’s not, but.  Dion  It has to be because that’s why I was. I was ******** about it and I yelled at Quinney until it came up to the thing. It’s like, but it’s not the real Galactus. And I’m like. Oh yeah, **** everything in this movie is not the real one from our universe. What? I’m getting angry at can easily be retconned by an executive who doesn’t like the feedback form.  Speaker  Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.  Jill  But this is also a universe where Reed is a super genius that can solve teleportation and like, move a planet. That’s.  Speaker  Hmm.  Peta  It just like the jump between ohh, I’ve managed to do it to an egg.  Jill  Come on.  Peta  Let’s do it to a planet. Nothing will go wrong. I actually, I almost thought that, like, that’s where it was gonna get interesting. Like, that was gonna be this universe is snap moment when they, like, accidentally. Left half the people behind or something.  Quinny  That that’s what I that’s. What I was kinda hoping for like.  Jill  Yeah, there weren’t really many stakes.  Quinny  No, I ******* love the idea of them actually going *******. We’re gonna teleport the whole planet and.  Dion  And ******* it.  Quinny  Up what? Could something goes wrong like they they go to the wrong place or they find themselves in the ******* negative zone.  Jill  Like that ******* DC convergence where the two planets had to merge together.  Peta  Or and that’s the thing.  Dion  They do. How did they do faster than life travel, but. Not work out how radar. Exists stop the fact that Silver Surfer was coming to blow up all of their teleportation machines that that shaped.  Quinny  Me. She’s very fast.  Peta  And in your hand it just kind of looked like a regular size spaceship. I don’t know why they couldn’t have just muted it or something like it’s like felt like a lot of like ohh The thing is coming very slowly. This is the only thing we can think of.  Dion  That was my big ***** point that I will get my big boy britches on and have a whinge about. Galactus’s ******* world eating ship is just a giant space grinder and. And I didn’t like that because if you’re gonna go to, like the extent that they went to, which was really curvy, whole super 60s kind of thing.  Speaker  Right.  Dion  Make the spaceship ******* weird. Make it the giant machines that don’t. You don’t understand the purpose of what they do like. Have something that’s in there.  Speaker 3  Hmm.  Jill  Yeah. What happened to like the? Big straw that he just shoves in the. Planet and like sucks it up like.  Dion  Yeah, all of that. But I mean, just like have the weird like, Kirby was great for drawing like. Contraptions that you love on the contraption, and they don’t. You don’t know why or how they work, or they have like extra bits that go off and they crackle with energy that you don’t understand how it sort of goes. He didn’t care about making it look well built. He cared about making something cool and stupid. And then they put Galactus. Fair enough, looked pretty good, you know, for a big.  Quinny  I look I. Liked big man collectors. I was down.  Jill  For that, yeah. I didn’t like how his. Height fluctuated with convenience.  Peta  Say he wasn’t that big in the end. Though was he he? He looked.  Jill  The lost, yeah.  Dion  A bit of juice out the back of the tube and then he got a bit.  Quinny  Maybe.  Speaker 6  So then he went and shrunk a bit.  Dion  Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.  Quinny  OK, let’s go with that, yeah.  Jill  He’s like ohh, now he can fit in this big circle on the ground that he like, would have Godzilla crushed the moment ago.  Dion  Crush. Sure.  Peta  Confused if planet size or if Godzilla size.  Dion  Yeah. Also how would sue push if 2?  Quinny  Because her push is not based on size, it’s based on willpower.  Dion  No, but push, baby. Ohh no. OK, recover. Push, galactus. Big baby. Oh, no much.  Peta  Is is based on magic mummy power?  Quinny  Yeah, yes, yeah. Like that. That big kind of finale stuff. I was like when he started to climb back out. I was like, ohh. OK now.  Dion  No. Well.  Quinny  We’re gonna get some shoes.  Jill  Yeah, I was like. Oh ****, I jumped.  Quinny  Yeah. Yeah. I was like, ******* sweet. Great. OK, now we’re gonna really ******* now, now we’re gonna wrap it up, but Nope. That’s just that’s it. Cool. Everybody get home. I would love to have seen them do something real. ******* ballsy. I would have loved to have seen them lose the earth, you know? Yeah. So that that’s why this Fantastic Four, like instead of. Yeah, that’s the run like this.  Jill  On the run on the. Sleeper on.  Peta  I’m not sure that Marvel is doing its answer to the trolley problem properly.  Quinny  Why not teleport the ******* baby and the family to another end of the universe, or to a different ******* dimension or whatever?  Jill  Because they answered that in the slack with pocket holes does.  Speaker  Yeah. Yes.  Dion  I mean. I look I I I I really got that like I enjoyed the bit where they were like, no, this is it honestly. Like we we we may be the people that everyone looks up to on the Earth and that’s a bit problematic to put that much. Responsibility. On four people who were there, but at least they always did it with heart, honesty, integrity and overall admission of failure. To the world.  Speaker  Hmm.  Dion

M3gan 2.0 The B1tc# is B@ck is not the tagline for this movie… but it could very easily have been.  After the surprise hit that was the first M3gan, Blumhouse have done what they do best, and that is turn around a moderately budgeted sequel in a surprisingly quick time. Does this make for an excellent film that expands the original property and deepens the lore and background of the character?  No. Does is make for an energetic romp that features not one but two murderous cyborgs with dead, doll-like eyes, doing martial arts and ridiculous stunts?  Possibly. Listen in the full review to get the down low on the download. D10n , Qu1nny and J1ll are all on board for this episode and you better believe they not only have opinions, but a bunch of ways the film could have been SO much better. Synopsis Two years after M3GAN, a marvel of artificial intelligence, went rogue and embarked on a murderous rampage, its creator, Gemma, has become an advocate for government oversight of AI. Unbeknownst to her, a defense contractor has created a military-grade weapon known as Amelia, the ultimate infiltration spy. However, as Emlia’s self-awareness increases, it becomes less interested in taking orders. Hoping to stop Emilia, Gemma decides to resurrect M3GAN, making it faster, stronger, and more lethal. https://youtu.be/Aiam4GCb-ug As always, a digitally self aware thank-you to the dolls and action figures who join in with the conversation on the Twitch stream, live each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEDT.

Norman non. Something like that.  Speaker 4  Play diva humpty. Yeah, yes.  Dion  That’s what’s yes, it’s it’s all it’s all about female empowerment. You’re right about what else you’re right about here.  Quinny  Sort of, yeah.  Dion  No.  Jill  We trained our AI writing script on 1000 hours of RuPaul’s Drag Race and. This is what it came up with.  Dion  And yeah, and it’s actually better than.  Quinny  You you spent so long working out whether you could, you didn’t see whether you should but but but funnily. Going on this next week, sorry.  Dion  Enough that AI chat bot is still better than grok so.  Quinny  Yeah.  Dion  Hello, welcome to period. My name is and.  Jill  Jillian on. I am J1 all.  Quinny  QY Q1 and bifurcated numbers.  Dion  Yes. That’s right. And and Quinn, three, who’s there?

Yeah, well, no version 4.1 final final use. This one final please. Final.  Quinny  Yeah. So no, really no really final and then you’ll find it in the wrong folder cause you for some reason chose the wrong place where you saved.  Dion  It. Yeah, yeah. Or someone will desperately call you and go. Did you make a backup of it? I deleted it accidentally.  Quinny  Always. No.  Dion  No or you start writing it in like a cloud based service and then suddenly someone will produce the movie 3 months before you were releasing it and.  Speaker  Thanks.  Dion  You’re like, OK.  Quinny  Hey, it looks like you’re trying to write a. Script for a. Sequel, you want me to **** it?  Dion  Up for you. Completely bad news. We’ve already scraped it and. Really. Sit in China. It’s bad when you get to the point where even asylum films are being outdone by people stealing the once.  Speaker 7  That’s awesome.  Quinny  Oh, it hurts. It hurts and it hurts.  Dion  That’s not miss Reagan.  Quinny  No. So I want to know.  Speaker  Yeah.  Quinny  I I can’t remember. Did we all enjoy? I think we all enjoyed Megan, didn’t we?  Jill  We did quite thoroughly. We actually looked up the scores that we gave.  Dion  We did.  Quinny  It ohh damn you know.  Dion  Yeah, we did, yeah. When you weren’t here because you were late. COVID and I. Yeah. Now Jill and I went back and looked it up and we reviewed it in 20 January of 2023. And we gave it got a full score.  Quinny  Ohh Jesus Christ, because I’ve got for ********.  Dion  85 because Karina’s score dropped it down from what would have. Been like nothing.  Quinny  Oh.  Dion  So we all had a nice time.  Jill  Thanks Karina.  Dion  Yeah.  Quinny  Good. Damn it. I mean, she’s in the chat right now. She could enter.  Speaker 8  Yes. Yeah.  Quinny  For herself, yeah.  Dion  100%.  Quinny  And incomes cash for with. Like that.  Dion  Subbing subbing for that.  Jill  Thank you. Thank you. As 51 month streak.  Quinny  Oh my God. Jesus. That’s incredible.  Speaker 4  Wow. Wow.  Dion  Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s.  Jill  God. Is that like how? Long. We’ve been. Yeah, it’s on Twitch.  Dion  Just swinging here. Yeah, yeah, at least.  Quinny  Yeah. Yeah, look.  Jill  Rocky.  Dion  We had to. We had to do all this stuff when it all became apparent that we couldn’t get together and talk about it, and now we just kept doing it.  Speaker  Hmm.  Dion  Yeah. So.  Quinny  We’re we’re still rocking and also Karina, I love the carinas. Not even sorry with her mark. She’s like, whatever.  Jill  Yeah.  Dion  Sorry.  Jill  No regrets.  Dion  Totally, no regrets. Look, I mean, thinking back to the time when we saw the original, I had a great time with it. It was a fun, quirky, slightly creepy Horror Story. It was.  Jill  Yeah.  Dion  We gave it a good score. It had a a fun thing in it. It had the weird dancing. It had the the, like sort of animal running. Very. Yeah. Very camp. But also kind of very creepy. And you just didn’t know how things were going to go.  Jill  Yeah, it was highly camp.  Quinny  It had a bit of style to it too, like it was, it was, you know, a pretty standard like slasher kind of thing. It was. It was child’s play, but with ale.  Jill  Yeah, it’s like, how do we ask the fibroid a.  Quinny  Chucky. Yeah. And I I was was very, very much into that. And like, you know. The the bit with. Yeah. Weird doll face thing chasing kids through the woods and you know, like a dog and ****.  Jill  Yeah. Pushing them in front. Of cars or?  Quinny  Yeah, yeah, there was. There was a whole bunch of cool **** in that first film, but I was like, oh, yeah, that’s actually kind of fun. There’s a.  Jill  Lot really kind of subverted the horror genre as well, but like being so overtly camp, I mean there are quite a lot of camp horror movies that, you know, become cult classics. But this was like.  Dion  Yeah.  Jill  For the modern era, you know about AI and.  Speaker 7  Yeah.  Dion  Yeah. Yeah. Like, yeah.  Jill  What it’s doing to kids and that kind. Of stuff so.  Dion  It was near futurism, you know, it’s kind of like it’s, you know, we’re building robotics.  Jill  Syfy slant.  Dion  Yeah, robotics are more incorporated. It’s close to where we are. It’s a bit Black Mirror, but also it was, it was funny. Because watching. That’s creepy. It’s creepy. Funny you.  Quinny  That was the thing I think that. Know that was the thing that that really worked for me the first time around was that it was. Funny and like when it did creepy, it did creepy well, but there was enough knowing nods and funny to make.  Dion  Yeah.  Quinny  You go oh. Yeah, this this knows what it is. This.  Dion  Knows where it’s at and to be completely honest, begging for a sequel. You know, as soon as that the the credits rolled on the first one I was like, Yep, that will do. Yeah. Now we got a new franchise of the freaking.  Speaker 7  Hold.  Dion  Killer Sassy killer robot *****. I like her. Let’s go. And now, what are we almost 2 and a bit years later, we’ve got 3 and 2.0.  Speaker  Yeah. Hmm.  Dion  Which is.  Speaker 4  Yeah, yeah, I mean.  Jill  I mean, I don’t think patina particularly. No, really. We’re like, OK, So what were all the things about? The first one that made it successful and what everybody loved, it’s like, great, let’s do that again, but more.  Speaker  Yeah. Hmm.  Dion  Yeah, I love. Like all of it when I think about the marketing for it. I was watching this come. I was like, oh, they’re now sound. Like, great, this sounds good. And then it was just catch phrase, catch phrase, neon catch phrase. And I’m like, oh, no.  Speaker  Yeah.  Dion  Oh, no, no, no. Oh, no, no, I didn’t like. I didn’t like the catch phrases from the first movie. I like the creepy murderbot.  Speaker  Yeah.  Jill  Yeah, they’re. Yeah, they’re like ohh quick. Culture is like really latched on to this, like, let’s pander to them more and just like, turn her into hunty diva boots, the house down, Yas Queen.  Dion  Yeah, yeah.  Speaker 8  And it lost all.  Speaker 4  Of the horror.  Quinny  Like, I mean, what was what was the?  Dion  Thing with it was like, ohh Miss Megan’s the the the horrible murderous robot. Oh yeah, that should be the person. We’ve got to empathize with. And following the sequel, it’s like, No, No, we don’t.  Quinny  No, no, you there are many things that you have taken away from this first film that you’ve taken away role.  Speaker  What have we?  Dion  What if we made her the antihero? No, please. No, no, guys, no.  Quinny  So do do you do you want a synopsis? I have the synopsis.  Speaker 4  Ohh please.  Dion  Sure. I actually don’t have any music, but.  Quinny  No, no, that’s OK like.  Dion  There you go. I’ll put a little bit in.  Quinny  The background. There we go, OK. And I I don’t think I can do any kind of. Robot voice for this.  Dion  No, you.  Quinny  Cause like she’s, she’s auto tuned. It’s it’s all very, you know, Glados. It’s not a.  Speaker  Quinny  Thing.  Speaker 7  Quinny  Two years after Megan. Mr. Egan. Whatever you wanna call it, a marvel of artificial intelligence went rogue and embarked on a murderous rampage. Its creator, Jammer, has become an advocate for government oversight of AI. Very exciting. Unbeknownst to her, a defense contractor has created a military grade weapon known as. Amelia. Here, the ultimate infiltration spy. However, as Amelia’s self-awareness increases, it becomes less interested in taking audits, hoping to stop Amelia. Gemma decides to resurrect at Merigan, making it faster, stronger, and more lethal. That’s not entirely. Accurate, no. I also I’m gonna assume that an idiot wrote this because it goes from being Amelia to Amelia, like there are typos and she had. All through it.  Dion  So what you’re telling me? Is the AI wrote this?  Quinny  I think it may have been written.  Speaker  No.  Quinny  By II cause it’s. Yeah, like it’s Amelia, the Emilia, and then something else.  Dion  Yeah.  Quinny  Well done everybody.  Dion  All of the characters that were there in the first one are back in the second one, and that’s yeah, kind of great. Like, you know, there wasn’t anyone who was offensive.  Speaker 1  Yeah.  Dion  You know, and that some of the ideas that were presented were pretty good, you know, like, as in, how do you do a sequel? What are we gonna go here? I I have to say it’s not one of those ones that is kind of really dumb. Dumb logic. Like there’s a few jumps. Yeah. Yeah.  Quinny  No.  Jill  No, I mean like when I heard the plot for the film, I was like ohh, that sounds dumb. I’m in. Yeah, but like, in a fun way of like, it’s gonna be a camp horror film again. I can. I can buy into the ridiculousness of the movie, especially because like the cast is so good at selling it as well.  Speaker  Hmm.  Quinny  Yeah. And then. Yeah, and and I. Mean you’ve kind of got that tradition. Of something like Terminator and then Terminator 2 where you know the first one kill the robot second one. Ohh we make the robot the protector. But like cool. Yeah. And as Casper says, a worst to murder too. Yes. Yeah, Terminator 2 where like the the bad guy doesn’t have any. Any of the interestingness of the T1000.  Speaker 7  I’m worse.  Dion  Kind of. Or, yeah, yeah, a major Japanese. Do you know, like Arnold Schwarzenegger always wanted to do more comedy, more comedy. You know, anything. Imagine if they just let him into. Medicine.  Speaker  Oh.  Quinny  Do you remember the the the the shots in Terminator 3 where he’s like he puts on the the the star sunglasses and stuff?  Dion  Yeah. And that’s kind of. Kind of weak. Yes.  Quinny  All that, yeah.  Dion  And that is kind of this version of of Megan. It’s like the yassif tied. Meghan.  Speaker  It’s yeah.  Dion  Versus.  Jill  To the to the absolute enth degree. Like they they went too far. They turned the dial too far.  Dion  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Fighting. Yeah. Fighting her as well. Not sister, but like cousin.  Quinny  All the way to levity, stupid. Cousin ****.  Dion  Sorry. Yeah, shin hottie from Asoka has has has appeared now as a murderous. Another murderous girl in this one which is, you know more realistic. And that was one of the things that kind of made me a little annoyed too. Was like ohh they took the idea like the the building blocks of Megan and made another one. And this one looks like a real person though. It’s like no part of the reason Meghan was creepy. You know. Well, yeah. No, she’s just murder robot, like stock standard dog standard murder robot. You know who’s hot? Ish. Hmm.  Jill  Yes, exactly.  Quinny  For for a yeah, in a prepubescent, weird way. Like, yeah, it’s.  Jill  Don’t get me wrong, I still had a good time. I still enjoyed the movie. I enjoyed the movie. I was.  Quinny  I was. I was. OK, that’s what I wanted to know.  Jill  Spying the plot. 2°.  Speaker  Yeah.  Jill  The actors again really sold it.  Quinny  Yeah.  Jill  They you know, they they were committed to the bit. You could tell that they were on the emotional journey. Just the thing that bothered me was it was so obvious. That they were. Trying to go harder than they did the first time around and it really just kind of lost the specialness of it being a subversive horror film.  Speaker  Yes.  Quinny  100%.  Speaker  Yeah.  Dion  And I feel like they muted.  Jill  Yes.  Dion  Megan, in a certain way, because they were like, no, no, the actual murder 1 is this other robot who will do the evil murdering, and then we’ll limit.  Speaker  Oh, gorgeous.  Speaker 4  I feel.  Jill  Like Meghan in the first one was, like, really harsh and like a Serbian, but this one was just kind of like.  Dion  Again. Hmm yeah.  Jill  Yeah, yeah, Devo let’s do. It. I’m like, what? Yeah, no, like, compliant. I don’t really get.  Dion  Yeah. It, well, the creepy thing about the first one, which I really liked is she was quiet. She was observant and she would be calculating, and that was the creepy thing about it. You, you. She’d be standing there looking and you’re like, what the **** is that thing thinking about in this one? They just put that internal monologue straight out.  Quinny  Yeah.  Speaker  Yeah.  Jill  Yeah, it was way too vocalised.  Dion  In that. Of like.  Quinny  Yeah, yeah, at no point in time. Are you questioning what her thoughts are? I mean, the the they do their best to give you a whole bunch of twists and turns and you know, shouldn’t be just a who’s a good.  Dion  I’m doing this now.  Jill  Yeah, I appreciated that because yeah, there was a lot of moments where I was like, oh, OK.  Quinny  Guy who’s a bad guy.  Jill  It’s not the that’s not what I thought it was. OK, well, we’re going somewhere else on this journey. But Megan, just monologue too much.  Quinny  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.  Jill  So like all of her motives were like out there.  Dion  Yeah.  Quinny  But also it felt like it had it had taken it from being a like a a creepy little, you know, stalky horror film like hand that rocks the cradle. Is this this cute thing suddenly deadly? It literally turns it into a candy coated weird sci-fi like superhero film like and I I’m look ************, I’m all down for candy coated superhero sci-fi, but this felt like Shark boy and lava girl a lot more of the time than it felt like Megan.  Jill  Yeah.  Dion  Including that you know the the images, it’s just off to the side there where she looks like love the girl like.  Quinny  You know.  Dion  You’re saying?  Jill  Oh yeah, yeah. That moment from like, the the thing where she was in a costume. I’m like, when I saw that. I’m like, wanna cosplay it?  Dion  Dancing comp the Ayo.  Speaker  Yeah. Yeah. Sure. Yeah.  Jill  That was, yeah, it was a fun outfit.  Dion  Don’t. Don’t do the dance, though. Do the the original dance like. I mean, that just felt like it was trying to replicate the dance that we saw in the first one. Which was weird. Umm yeah?  Jill  That’s the thing they’re like. How do? We do. Do all of the things from the first one that everybody loves but like, do it again and have them love it again.  Speaker  Yeah.  Jill  And there was like another I’ll, I’ll say I won’t spoil it for anyone, but it was another musical moment where I was kind of like, ah, OK, it was funny.  Speaker 7  Oh.  Jill  The first time around, but now. I I don’t think I can be in this moment. Seriously.  Quinny  Yeah. Yeah, I when when we come to talking about this, the spoilery stuff or whatever. Yeah, I’ve got real issues with that like.  Dion  There was some. There was, yeah, there was some genuine like, I mean this is. The thing like I. I think as a whole I didn’t. Really enjoy the film. But.  Speaker  Dion  There were bits in it that I was when I was going through it was like I had a fun time. Like I felt like it was a good fun time and I was going with no, this is moving really. This is moving pretty quickly. It’s it’s complicating itself, but then it’s kind of untangling those complications. I got lots of shades of like 80s movies that I didn’t think I’d get. Like I got a lot of Superman 3, like a lot of Ghostbusters.  Quinny  It was a massive Superman three, yeah.  Dion  Yeah, yeah, yeah. But also the Superman 5 nuclear man. I got that too. So was that four. Sorry. Apologies. Sorry.  Quinny  Yeah, there is number. 5.  Dion  No, no, that’s no, that was I was thinking about Highlander 5. But yes, Superman stuff and and some Ghostbusters, some other stuff that was thrown in there. I was kind of like.  Jill  Bit of Metropolis imagery as well.  Quinny  Sure. Very much so.  Dion  Yeah, yeah, yeah. A couple of twists, which I was like, oh, that was quite a. That was a good twist. Or that was interesting. And then a lot of the other stuff I was like, that’s just this is. Fine, but not great. And yeah, by the end of it, I’m like, I don’t need a myth organ or a mafia.  Quinny  Like I I would be happy to go back and and you know, re explore the Megan math Regan thing like. But I would want like something that went back to formula.  Dion  You know.  Quinny  I want something that is crappy. I want something that is about killer robots that.  Dion  Yeah.  Jill  Yeah. I mean, did Halloween or Friday the 13th, like, ever screw the pooch on the second film?  Quinny  You don’t trust.  Speaker 8  Like.  Quinny  Probably.  Jill  Oh, OK. Well, how do you have like such?  Dion  Yeah.  Jill  A long series in a in a horror franchise still be scary every movie, but like you. Quinny  Know this and this is where this one fell down for me. Is that like it forgot that it was?  Speaker 7  Hmm.  Quinny  Horror movie. Yeah, like it totally, totally lost its its teeth. You know, there, there were a couple of. Heads spun around and stuff like that, but. Jill  Yeah, there was like some gore, but like, that was about it. None of it was like terrifying.  Speaker  But.  Quinny  And there was no, no tension, no thriller like that, yeah.  Dion  Yeah, the the like some of the violence was there and remember it was all committed on the screen. It was mainly committed by the new one. Amelia, which in and sorry acronyms. I’m. Like. Oh, sorry acronyms, not acronyms. Acronyms. People must be sitting down trying to write. How like what name? Is this because of we have to make it into an acronym. I felt that that was a bit of a stretch, but like you know, they had all of those things done by her. But when it came to Megan, you know, nothing very bloody. Dement it happen and then they use a you know, a writing tool to stop her from doing that stuff. And it was so frustrating because that was what you wanted. You wanted this homicidal robot that you don’t trust to do those things which make you not want to trust that you want her to be an unreliable. Narrator.  Jill  Umm yeah, but I kind of felt by the end I was like, ohh, come on, Megan, you can do it like I was cheering her on.  Dion  Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Betray them. Betray them. Betray. Yeah.  Speaker 8  Yeah.  Dion  That’s kind of what you’re going for.  Speaker  Hmm.  Jill  Yeah, it was way too much a a hero’s arc.  Dion  And I felt. Like in the.  Jill  Redemption.  Dion  In the in the setup too, you’re you’re given to Gemma the character Gemma. You’re given all the tools at the start of the movie to actually go. You’re being. It and you deserve to have something bad happened to you. You deserve to have your trust broken because you’re being sheet and that was just a bit of a let down to not have that kind.  Quinny  Of thing come through? Yeah. Yeah. Like they were. They were introduced a few new characters. Get rid of them very quickly. In most cases, like you know, and some of the fun, like I I thought Jermaine Clement was having a. Lot of. Fun yes.  Dion  Ohh he’s he’s he’s sort of cameo character was great.  Speaker 8  It is great value.  Dion  Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you ever gonna. If you ever gonna create a tech, bro, you don’t like.  Quinny  Yeah, done, man. And and I, I felt like.  Jill  He works. He wearing a prosthetic chest.  Quinny  100 yeah. Like I love that because it was just so musky. Like it was screaming the ******* Musk. All the way.  Dion  Yeah. And look.  Quinny  I mean, yeah, I would watch Megan versus Chucky, like the new Chucky that is the robot doll version.  Dion  I haven’t seen you.  Quinny  Jackie. Ohh that that one.  Jill  You need.  Quinny  God. Came out a few years ago now I think I’m not like. And then you’ve got the the mystery or you know, mythology of demons versus technology. Yeah.  Dion  Oh. I like, I feel like that. That’s something that they like. They went for that in the third film and it was like Megan versus Chucky. I’d be like, OK, fine. I’m. Back in, we’re.  Quinny  We’re on this, yes.  Dion  Let’s get back to this. It’s about them compare like competing with each other about how to do the most gruesome murder. I’d be like, great. That’s OK. Back on track, you know, steered in, you steered into the skid, and now you’re right. Everything.  Speaker  Yep.  Quinny  Yeah. Because they’ve definitely they’ve they’ve hit this one well and truly sideways, and they’re heading right for the ******* barrier. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Like there are moments in it that I laughed and I really enjoyed, like, you know, there’s a a point where Megan takes it over a car and and you know that like.  Speaker  Yeah.  Jill  They’re complaining.  Quinny  Just because I’m a fan of of Knight Rider, I was like no. OK, thank you. But then I thought you may have laid it on a. Little thick there guys.  Dion  Except for its catch.  Jill  Yeah, you can’t imagine Kit saying hold. On to your. Vaginas. Yeah, no.  Quinny  And yeah.  Dion  And that’s what I’m saying. There’s like, catch phrase. Everyone’s laughing, right. And I’m like. No, everyone went. It’s like they you. It was the first. We all know you don’t have one. And secondly, come on. You know you’re supposed to be a 12 year old girl thing or or are you now a teenager because you’re growing up in the AI space.  Speaker 7  Hmm.  Dion  You know, and it’s like, OK, you’ve got the the metaphors that you’re going for here, you know, the the difference is everyone has to grow and become different. I’m like, yeah, but that doesn’t mean you go from. Homicidal robot too. Maybe I’m the savior.  Quinny  I mean there, there is some other interesting stuff that I I do want to talk about that is less fun, right?  Jill  Ohh, like the narrative around technology and intelligence.  Quinny  Yeah. Yeah. Like the there’s, there’s. Like they’re trying to say something here and that’s the thing that occasionally feels.  Speaker  Yeah.  Quinny  Interesting, but also at odds with the kind of film that it is like they’re they’re very definitely making some pretty big swings at, you know, is AI a problem and what is? What are the questions of the the ethics of it and everything. But the thing that got me.  Dion  Yeah.  Quinny  And that kind of weirded me. Out a little bit. So the guy Christian is, is an AI ethicist and is somebody who’s trying to get AI shut down, basically. There is. There is a podcast I listen to quite regularly and. The weird thing about is the person. One of the two hosts of this one. It’s OK. It’s from a place called the Center for Humane Technology. And they’ve been doing talks and speeches around the world about the AI dilemma and what it’s actually doing to. What? What it’s heading towards, it’s not good. The lead guy of the podcast is a guy called Tristan and the fact that they kept he’s not Tristan. He’s not Christian, he’s Christian. I was like ohh ****. Are you taking a swipe at Tristan?  Jill  Tristan is gone. Ohh, do you think it was like actually?  Quinny  I’m almost 100.  Speaker 8  Quinny  Percent sure they are, because like.  Dion  Come on, let’s be honest. They’re taking a swipe at whoever is anywhere near anything.  Quinny  Yeah. Oh, yeah, like.  Dion  They’re not. It’s it’s a shotgun effect. It’s they’re they’re not sort of sitting there going. Oh, no, we’ll, we’ll, we’ll use the scalpel on this one. And the scalpel on that one, it’s like. You know like. Who’s talking in this space that we can sort of base a few characters around? Yeah, that’s a. Bit of a thing off we go.  Quinny  Yeah, I don’t know. But also the fact that like where they kind of placed it at the end of that, the AI ethicists are actually the bad people. You’re like.  Speaker  Hmm.  Dion  Don’t worry though, if don’t worry if the big.  Jill  You they kind of subverted their whole message.  Quinny  Yeah, yeah, totally sure. What you’re saying here, folks?  Dion  If the. Don’t worry, don’t worry if the big, beautiful bill passes, then we’ll have 10 years of sorry, 12 years of unregulated AI stuff in America. So why regulate something if you don’t understand it?  Speaker 4  Ohh.  Dion  Yeah. I know, right?  Quinny  You know, let’s let’s send Miss Reagan to to alligator Auschwitz and she can, like, dance around through the.  Dion  Screen. That’s how it should be called I think. Sorry.  Jill  Yeah, they’re calling it our first cleaning.  Dion  Alligator, Alcatraz.  Quinny  Yeah, that’s what.  Speaker  They’re called.  Quinny  What they’re calling it, I’ve seen the.  Dion  Yeah, yeah.  Quinny  Photos that shoots out.  Dion  Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We all know what this is, right? Right. Yeah.  Quinny  Like the literally, I watched a ******* speech from DJ. He talking about? Ohh yeah. We’ll let people out on day release to farms. I’m like that’s slavery.  Dion  That’s worse. That’s worse, Ryan. OK. Although predicting, thank you for updating me there. Apparently, it has been that that provision was was struck off. So I don’t know, maybe sure.  Speaker 7  Hmm.  Quinny  Sure. Ohh Aski has an idea and I do quite like Meghan goes into Tron. OK. Yep. And and then she can.  Jill  Yeah.  Quinny  Fight Jared Leto.  Dion  Yeah, betrogen. No, but do you know what that? Would do that would be. Because then it would. It would gasify Tron. Be like pink, pink light cycles and things going just just in.  Quinny  Just the right light up.  Dion  Yeah, she’s just she’s just throwing producer money at her. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly how much go for it, actually, to be fair. Yeah. Kind of a Yas. Tron would be a fun aside.  Quinny  Yeah, make it happen to Disney.  Jill  Gastro.  Quinny  The queer eye for the Tron. Guy.  Dion  Yeah, Jared, you’re looking so weird and and orange. It’s the old color. We need pink, pink everywhere. Let’s go. Like you know.  Quinny  Yeah, I would watch that.  Dion  Yeah. Yes, there we go.  Jill  Honey, you’re a winter, not a summer.  Quinny  And the more I think about the first Megan, the more I go. God, I really enjoyed that film. Yeah. And the more I think God, this film was kind of dopey.  Dion  Yeah. Also like, I mean, I. You know, talking about the way that they presented this to it’s like the villain of it is like, oh, it’s just this sorry we we created an assassin bot and it’s gone rogue and now it’s trying to do something and it’s kind of a bit like, so what’s it trying to do? Oh, well, we can’t really tell you till later in the film. And then we’ll explain sort of things. That has to do with photocopiers, and that’s a real plot point. Sorry, but you know, you’ve got this. It doesn’t actually make it like it’s not as bad as you.  Quinny  You know like.  Dion  There’s no great villain there. There’s like in this. It’s easy, it’s cause like, well, Megan’s the murderbot. So she’s bad. And this one, it’s like, OK, are they really bad? Is anyone really bad? Who’s the actual bad person here? And it’s like, no, no, no. Just give us our hat to hang it on. That’s all we’re after. We need a bad thing. Stop the bad thing. We don’t need the twists and the turns.  Speaker  Hmm.  Quinny  Yes. Yeah, and the the familial relationship between Gemma and and Katie like that. I was able to hang my head on that. For a lot more like. That still works, and there are actually a couple of bits in there that I really enjoyed. There was 1 moment that I was like oh ******* hell. Where like they they go into a bunker or something like that. And Katie’s cracked the ***** with Gemma. She ever tries to hold her hand, and then Katie just ******* jujitsu’s the **** out of her. And I was like, oh, oh, nice. Oh, sorry. Aikido.  Jill  Yeah.  Speaker  Yeah.  Dion  Sorry, which we all know is in a real martial art.  Quinny  Is coming for you right now. Yeah, well. You’ll be here in like 5 to 7.  Dion  Years. I always say that to the Aikido people. Like what are you going to do? Wait to redirect my energy? Just trying to start a fight. It’s all right.  Quinny  It’s never gonna work with my Peter.  Dion  No, exactly.  Speaker  Just.  Quinny  I’m gonna slap your hands.  Dion  Wait. Sorry.  Quinny  Anyway, yeah, like there there are. There are moments in there. There are relationships in there that work, but I feel like.  Jill  Yeah, I think there is definitely a better film that could have been made instead of pandering to the audience. I think wanted this movie, yeah.  Quinny  Yeah, I did see an interview briefly with the producer of it who is. So the other thing we haven’t actually mentioned the film. Has tanked really badly.  Jill  Oh.  Quinny  Yeah, like it has not done anything like the numbers they expected. And the producer was saying, yeah, we we probably followed the wrong directions and we have made wrong choices. And yeah, I’ve had a bad weekend.  Jill  Ohh.  Quinny  Which I I feel bad for them because. It must be really hard when you’ve had a massive success. To go. OK. What are the things that worked?  Jill  Here’s what I’ll give you for free, I bet you. All the money in the world, it was a team of white, straight CIS men that decided to write this film. They were like. Oh, OK. Well, if the gays and the girls love this, then let’s just do more of that and they’ll have absolutely like, no. Perspective around what actually made it good in the first place.  Quinny  Yeah, there is. So one of the writers of Aquila Cooper who wrote malignant. But yeah, you have a couple of writers, Gerard Johnson and James Wan.  Jill  James 1 you. Should have ******* known better bro like.  Quinny  He really ******* should have.  Jill  Yeah, cause yeah, he was on the first one as well and like that movie was such a sigh. But this one was just like.  Dion  It feels I know so like it does feel like they as you said it might not.  Jill  Away shante.  Speaker 8  Sashay away.  Dion  They might have fed too much, you know, RuPaul’s Drag Race into the idea. Shut out engine.  Jill  Yeah, 100%.  Quinny  Algorithm.  Dion  Yeah. And I do feel like you’ve got, it’s like a lot more complicated like in the first one, it’s pretty, it’s a pretty simplistic plot, you know? Yeah, it’s not too. It’s not too hard. This one feels like it’s like, oh, we’re going to get way more complicated. It’s bigger. It’s everything we’re going to treat this as a whole thing. You know, she’s now a, you know, internationally recognized. But on these things. You know, the whole thing wasn’t just swept under the rug. It like, you know, the first movie, the the stuff became an international in like, news story and all that kind of. Thing and I’m like, yeah. But no, sometimes it’s better to just be a bit smaller and a bit tighter like. I mean, it could have just been a whole thing of Megan trying to get her body back after being existing. In all these things, and they did have a few notes about that in this film, but I it jumped the shark for me when it went to like, how does Megan Switch herself around in between things? And I was like, wow, this makes. Absolutely no sense.  Jill  Yeah, they could have saved the military grade. Megan’s. For the third movie.  Dion  Sure. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.  Jill  Just build to it. Don’t do it. Don’t go.  Dion  Yeah, yeah, I know. But I mean, you know, like when at what point are we getting to the underground? Club of Megan’s.  Jill  Yeah.  Speaker  Never.  Jill  Yeah, full read. Never go full R word.  Quinny  Yeah, no. True, no.  Dion  Fight Club never go full Fight Club.  Quinny  And this film didn’t. Yet. No. Yeah. OK. Should we rate it? I do. There are a couple of little things I want to talk about in the spoils.  Dion  Yeah, sure. Runtime question that was in there. Yeah, 100. And 20 minutes it didn’t feel over long.  Quinny  To me, I don’t know. No, I was watching it and I I I kind of got to the the third act and I was ready for it to be done. Sure, you know.  Speaker 7  The world.  Quinny  Like I I all I wanted a big enough twist in that third act to make it worthwhile, and I didn’t really get it, so I was like.  Dion  Mean we you know.  Speaker  Sure.  Dion  Well, I mean, yeah, alright. Do you have an idea of ratings? Has anyone said in the chat? Check it, check the. Rating in there you.  Quinny  Yeah. If you’ve seen, it’s put a number, I will look for the number with the the 100 symbol because it helps me.  Dion  I’m going. I was lower and then I raised it back up a couple of notches because a couple of the times I went, that’s actually quite generally funny.  Speaker  To. Work out.  Dion  And especially 1 gag, which I was like. Ohh no, this is the worst. And then by the end of the gag, I was like it. Got better over time. It aged in the moment.  Speaker 7  It.  Dion  It aged in the moment and I went. That’s actually really ******* funny. Like it was awkward and awful and cringe for like 3 minutes and then by.  Speaker  Yes.  Speaker 4  I was like, I’m never doing it again.  Dion  The end of it I was like ohh this.  Speaker 7  Is all they all they just leave.  Speaker 8  And I’m like, actually, yeah, they they held it and you had to keep keep.  Dion  Yeah, don’t you? Don’t you dare go to the ******* chorus. Jill. So. So yeah, mine was lower and now it’s come back up to 60. 5:00 that’s fine.  Speaker  Yeah.  Quinny  OK, down as in as a 65, OK.  Jill  Oh wow. I gave. Megan won 90 last time. I really ******* loved it.  Dion  Wow. Yes, yeah.  Quinny  Yeah.  Jill  I still enjoyed this. Movie. I’m not gonna be ashamed about enjoying the movie like, especially because it it pandered to my tastes. The only thing that disappointed me was that there was not one horror element left in it, and that was the whole point of it being so great the.  Quinny  Don’t don’t be.  Dion  No.  Speaker 4  Yeah.  Jill  This time. So I mean, I still I. Still loved it. The characters are great. Megan is fantastic, the jokes were dumb. I I lived. Maybe a 75? OK, this time, yeah. If they had had, like, if it was still a true horror film, it would. Probably be another. 90 again but.  Speaker  Yes.  Quinny  Yeah, I’m. I’m. I’m probably gonna. Yeah. Split. No, actually, no. I’m going to close the deal on this one. Like. Yeah, I I. It’s so frustrating watching something where you can see the elements of something really fun and then go. Why did. Where, where, where. Did that go like? Where’s the tension? Where’s the the scares? Where’s the anything that feels slightly? Horrific or, you know, any of that and also, you know, as you said, you know, including shin hottie in there basically means that like if she’s meant to be the scary thing. Then use her as the the scary thing. But she’s not scary.  Jill  No, she’s just sexy and I’m like, can she stalk me?  Quinny  So sexy.  Dion  Yeah, yeah.  Quinny  I would, yes are you? Are you?  Dion  A guard.  Quinny  I’ll I’ll get. I’ll get chest and and Abby implants too, so. So yeah, I’m. I’m down with dark and I’m about. I’m a 65 as well. I it’s OK, but it’s not a patch on the 1st. 1. And there are a couple of points where I was like, I don’t even remember where Megan got damaged, but then she shows up with the horror of, you know, melted face and stuff. And I was like. Doesn’t feel earned. Doesn’t feel like you know. We. God. Yeah, it’s just, it’s just missing stuff.  Jill  I don’t know. Yeah, they tried to turn. Everything into a gag.  Quinny  They really did. They really, really did. OK, right. We have a a clippity Doo dah or something like.  Dion  We’ve got an extra long clip that I’m going to play the entire thing of, and this is after Miss Reagan has been upgraded. So now she knows Kung Fu.  Speaker  Speaker 1  Just wanted to say great job on those actuators.  Speaker  You’re welcome.  Speaker 1  Hey, so remember the time I strangled you and said the lab on fire? I just wanted to clarify that my programming only allowed me to count principles related to my primary user. As a result, I was unable to see you and Tess as being consequential. But I want you to know that won’t happen again. I want you to know. I see you.  Dion  Is she or? Is she not going to be murder? But again find out more when you go and see Miss Reagan. I’m putting this whole thing up. There we go. Perfect. Covering anyone thing. Yeah.  Jill  All right, we’re all dying to ******* talk about it.  Quinny  What the **** was up with the singing? The musical number that you’re just.  Speaker 8  Like.  Jill  Yeah, yeah, we got a an amazing rendition of titanium in the first film.  Quinny  Hmm.  Jill  Yeah. And this time around we got a bit. Of Kate Bush.  Dion  Redeemed.  Quinny  I didn’t recognize and I. Was just like, what are we? Singing here.  Dion  But I mean like that, that was a joke that I saw like that came up and that’s the one where I’m like, yeah, this is not great. This is just awful. What are they trying to do here? And then they really like, it’s it. I think that’s like a metaphysical like, you know, they’ve they’ve got the meta of this, it’s gone through and they know the inside the actual scene. They’re like this is. ******* terrible.  Speaker  Yeah. Yeah, what?  Speaker 4  Are you doing? Yeah.  Quinny  Yeah, yeah. And we’re we’re gonna keep it going to make it uncomfortable. And now it’s funny. Uncomfortable. Yeah.  Dion  Yeah, yeah.  Speaker 7  And.  Dion  Yeah, look.  Jill  Come on. The whole cinema laughed when that.  Dion  Oh yeah, for that one, I was just thinking, man, photocopiers. Why the **** a photocopier is the worst thing? OK, that felt like a gag out of someone who’s like, oh, we saw office space, and we hate printers and stuff, right? So what if we made the actual villain of this entire thing a photocopier? That’s basically been kept at a gulag and is now the worst thing in the plan.  Jill  Ohh. Yeah, that was strange.  Quinny  Strange. Yeah. I mean, though technically not even a photocopier, it was just rob. It was rob from Nintendo.  Jill  Is that true that if you isolate like an AI from anything, it just grows smarter? Like to me that sounds like the complete and. To the system.  Speaker  What would actually happen?  Quinny  It was such periodic concept. That you know. Ohh it’s been left alone. So it’s just gotten more and more dangerous. I’m like, no, it would just be running exactly the same process as over and over and over.  Jill  Also, why is it? Why is it connected to any kind of power?  Dion  Yeah. Just turn it.  Quinny  On using it forward. And and that was the moment the Superman 3 moment where, like, they finally connect to the the black box or whatever the **** it was called. Motherboard. I don’t know. Yeah, the motherboard. And I was like, ohh cool. We gotta get a like. I was really hoping for a weird Superman 3 ******* like.  Dion  Yeah.  Quinny  Electrical **** coming out and overtaking people and like, you know, go full body horror, go a little bit of ******* Cronenberg, you know, really delve deep into the the the almost like. It’s the kind of **** if you’ve set up this horrific AI that has just been stewing in its own evil for 40 years. Then make that some cosmic horror ****. Don’t just make it shin hottie with glowing eyes. I was like, come on, **** sake. Yeah, disappointing. Got very, very angry at that bit.  Jill  Yeah, it was.  Speaker  Strange. And it was, yeah.  Dion  You know, it’s sad that like they made like some of the returning the returning supporting. Cast was also great. Yeah, like their interactions were still good and they were the voice of reason, which is all the audience going. What the **** are you doing? Why you’re even interacting with this thing that tried to kill everyone. UM. And then they try like they do that where, like putting it into that weird robo body, the little kind of one that was, that was actually a cute and fun way of doing that. And then that thing did nothing. And they immediately skipped past that. They moved all the jokes or anything you could have done with it, you know.  Speaker  Ohh yeah. Hmm. Yeah.  Dion  Fun you could have had tough. Yeah. If you have had it. Like in that way.  Quinny  I thought that was going to be half the film.  Dion  For half the film, sure.  Quinny  Again that, yeah.  Jill  Yeah, then earn upgrade.  Quinny  Yeah. Yeah. And there was, there was a moment of something that they used that I was like, actually that’s kind of creepy and cool. There was a moment where they’ve been working on a, like, a exosuit that that, you know, helps people move and. And you know, that’s what they’re trying to move people around. And at one point that becomes animated by itself by, you know, something inside it. And I was like, that would have been *******.  Speaker 1  Yippee.  Quinny  You know, in a dark house, this thing that’s coming towards you that moves in completely in human ways.  Jill  If 2/3 of the movie was Megan jumping around things trying to get a new body, and then you pay it off in the third act, you give her a body and she defeats the bad guy that would have.  Dion  Yeah.  Quinny  **** yeah.  Jill  Worked. So much better than giving her a body at the end of the first act.  Quinny  Yeah, like she she goes through, like, cute little body. Then she goes her own half rebuilt.  Jill  Or if she started out in the weird like exoskeleton thing and then it’s like, Oh my God, it’s Megan. And she’s, like, trying to kill.  Quinny  And then.  Jill  People and. ****. Yeah, and.  Quinny  Yeah.  Jill  Then give her the harmless one. There’s no arm.  Quinny  And.  Dion  Yeah, I’m trying to remember.  Quinny  So much of that would be much more entertaining.  Speaker  A bit.  Dion  The film upgrade, but I was thinking more of like, do you remember the film, the horror film hardware from the 80s?  Speaker  Hmm.  Dion  You know which was about a, you know, a robot that slowly rebuilds itself out of. Junk. All right.  Jill  Ohh ******* poltergeist like.  Speaker  Yeah.  Jill  You.  Dion  Know yeah that like.  Jill  Possessing inanimate objects.  Quinny  Yeah, like they, they, they, they’ve forgotten the face of their fathers. They have forgotten where they came from. And you know, that’s what.  Jill  The horror films that paved the way? Yeah.  Dion  I mean, they feel like they. Had when they were doing the ideation for and they’re writing all the scenes and they’re thinking about the action pieces that they can have with it. It’s like, great, you’ve got enough content. There. For about what 5 movies? If you, but if you just took each one of those and gone hey. Yeah, exoskeleton version, then you know weird cutesy robot version then like oh body rebuilt version. It’s like great. That’s actually separate.  Jill  Yeah, exactly.  Dion  With cool, creepy things you could do along the way to to to make all that and include that kind of crazy sense of humour. And, you know, sassy attitude.  Jill  Yeah, what if they stumbled upon, you know, Megan rebuilding herself and she’s like, you know, that half created corpse dragging along the.  Dion  Yeah, yeah.  Speaker 4  Floor.  Dion  Exactly who wanted to play a tea party with a little girl? That that’s all she is in her brain. And she’s like I’m 43 years old.  Jill  Kind of. Horror motif.  Speaker 7  I’m not a little.  Dion  Girl anymore. You know, it’s kind of. Like ohh.  Jill  Yeah, they took the cheap way out. I.  Quinny  Think. Yeah. And they went for. Yeah, suffication. And they went for superheroes and they went and.  Dion  I feel like I feel like. They didn’t go for yes vacation. They went for merchandising opportunities.  Quinny  Yeah, yeah.  Dion  You. Know.  Speaker  Yeah.  Jill  The marketing team wrote the movie.  Dion  Yeah, I feel like a little like it looked like, you know, Megan had enough versions in the sequel that you’re like, ohh, that’s an action figure line.  Quinny  Yeah. So we’ve, we’ve, we’ve got sci-fi Robo doll. Megan, we’ve got, like, original Megan Reed rebuilt. We’ve got.  Dion  Assassin Amelia, Cyber Amelia, you know.  Quinny  Yeah. Yeah, motherboard God. Amelia. Amelia.  Dion  Or, you know, low jacking the brain implant. Megan, which is actually.  Quinny  Hmm yeah. Once again and there was an idea when Megan Labor, I love it, but.  Jill  That’s the one in the. Squirrel outfit, where she’s flying into the Silicon Valley.  Quinny  See and that was the whole number where I went. What the **** did we just become? Like, you know, Tom Cruise. At what point in time did Megan have to become Tom?  Dion  Yeah, exactly.  Jill  She’s a robot. She doesn’t show up on anything. Why is she flying in stealth mission?  Speaker 8  Like.  Quinny  It was dumb. It was just. It’s too dumb. Was Benoit Blunt dumb? Ohhh yeah. But yeah, like on a on a very surface level. Yeah. OK, that’s fun. Yeah, great. But it’s not because it’s dumb and it doesn’t add up to anything. And there are so many better ideas out there. Why aren’t they hiring us?  Dion  I don’t know. Corny start pitching them and then.  Quinny  I guess the well used to be. Have somebody who’s very good at pitching on our team, so maybe we.  Dion  Should, couldn’t you start writing it? Then you hand that writing over to Jill, Jill, Yasir, fly. The **** out of.  Jill  It. Yeah, it’s not within an inch.  Dion  I’ll I’ll add.  Jill  Of its life.  Dion  Yeah. And then she’ll give it to me and I’ll Add all the things that the executives want to cut out so that they feel like they’ve done something. And then we should be able to get it through, no worries. And then Peter, Peter will take all those ideas, screw them up, throw them away and make something worthy. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.  Quinny  Sweet, so. Actual thing that it’s doing.  Dion  That has nothing to do with killer robots and more stuff to do with. I don’t know crocodiles. Yeah. And like, sure environment. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Worthwhile. Projects.  Quinny  Dion  Well, you know, look, hey, that’s. All I’ve got to say about methadone.  Quinny  So I’m I’m very excited cause what are we doing next week? Folks.  Dion  Next week, you mean for the show or next week for the screening next next Wednesday special time again next Wednesday or we are going back to Dinotopia. That’s right. They made a movie about the Dinotopia books which are quite excellent. So all of those things here now is it seventh film in the franchise of Jurassic something.  Speaker  Yes. Mm-hmm.  Quinny  All I need to know, yes, this is the I I haven’t seen it yet because I came down sick and couldn’t go to the screening.  Dion  Don’t worry, we went for. You.  Quinny  Thank you. Thank you very much. Are they doing Dino riders yet? *************.  Dion  No.  Quinny  Like I don’t understand why this is so hard.  Jill  There’s some Dinos right in the.  Dion  Yeah.  Quinny  Actually, so uncomfortable with that.  Dion  I mean, there was also a lot of.  Jill  And yeah, Karina’s just said Jonathan Bailey’s ****** little glasses pressed to her. Even those ****** little glasses could not save this film.  Speaker 7  Although also next Wednesday, Jill hold hold off for for that one. Yeah. Yeah. Next week.  Quinny  Oh, oh, cards on the table early.  Jill  Everyone knows my love for wanton dinosaur destruction.  Dion  Yeah, it’s, it’s, it’s.  Speaker  Yep.  Quinny  I’m and I’m wanton dinosaur.  Jill  Destruction.

I mean, we’ll do all that and more next Wednesday, but because we’re not, we’re doing it Wednesday because on Tuesday, what are we?  Speaker 4  We’re gonna watch. Yes.  Dion  Which is save us. Save us James Gunn, save.  Quinny  Very excited about that.  Speaker  Us.  Quinny  Just looking forward to Nathan Fillion’s Bowl cut more than.  Dion  Who knows? Who knows what that’s gonna be?  Quinny  Anything.  Speaker 4  Going to. Is he?  Jill  Playing guy Gardner.  Quinny  100%. How have you missed this job?  Jill  I keep saying I got it in the trailer, but I didn’t realize. It was nice.  Quinny  And when you look at it, you like, oh, that’s actually pretty. Much perfect for Guy Gardner.  Dion  Yeah. Yeah. And as long as he’s a complete ****.  Quinny  Yep, yeah. Have you seen the videos where he’s using his ring constructs as just big middle fingers?  Dion  Gotta be he just has to be. I’m like no.  Jill  Ohh God, I’m going to like this movie, aren’t.  Quinny  I I’m looking forward to it, if nothing else, just because there’s a whole bunch of ******* crypto.  Dion  We’ll see. And then at the end.  Quinny  And.  Dion  Of. The month? Yeah. At the end of the month. Don’t forget we’re doing the movie. That’s out today on Netflix, which is the old guard too.  Quinny  Good God, yes.  Dion  Yeah. There you go. You got your homework. Got your stuff there. Hey, just before we all end up, I just want to get a quick, quick litmus test. How are we all feeling about the running man trailer?  Quinny  Yep, Yep. Plenty of stuff out there.  Dion  Oh. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Jill.  Jill  I’ve been doing work at work, which sucks so.  Dion  Did.  Speaker  Well.  Speaker 7  More full you work.  Quinny  Are you at home, which sucks too?  Dion  Yeah, you should just have a window open on your computer that can hide quickly when someone walks past you with trailers running constantly.  Speaker  Do. Hmm.  Jill  How can I hear them?  Dion  One earpod like thing that’s.  Speaker 4  In there. Ohh Glenn Powell.  Quinny  Yes.  Dion  Did you watch the 80s? One Schwarzenegger running man.  Speaker 4  Maybe.  Dion  He’s a convict. He’s being chased down by Dynamo. And change does or and.  Quinny  You. You. Yeah. I was gonna say.  Dion  Like a bunch of 80s wrestlers are the villains in it who are like who have been Yasir fried and have come out and try to hunt down on Schwarzenegger.  Quinny  Exactly. It’s.  Dion  You’ll you’ll love it.  Quinny  It’s very 80s WWF like animal and hawk, ******* the The Undertaker and all that kind of stuff.  Dion  Yeah, yeah, yeah.  Quinny  But the idea being that, yeah, this guy has signed up or has been essentially press ganged into participating in this televised Death Race. Yeah, where? Yeah. American Gladiators chase you all over the place and try. And kill you for real, yeah.  Dion  Yeah, yeah, yeah. And instead of just knock you out, they actually literally cut you and have the chainsaw.  Quinny  And it’s all televised. Yeah. Yeah. So it’s. Yeah. It’s based on Richard Backman book, Our Last Stephen King. Yep. And the original always had a bit of a kind of a darker, more kind of like, social commentary thing of like.  Jill  My cup of tea.  Speaker  Hmm.  Quinny  Could you imagine where our world gotten so bad that people take?  Dion  We’ll do this.  Quinny  A gig. You know where they just possibly get hunted down. But if they survive, they get all the money in the.  Speaker  Yeah.  Quinny  World or whatever. And that was before reality TV became the yeah. Yes, exactly. Like I love that Stephen King was like, oh, this is just reality TV before. OK.  Jill  Dion  Funnily enough, one of the one. Of the things I actually read the.  Quinny  You you have.  Dion  I watched the movie and I read the book and the book has a. Much different ending. Which is way, way ******* darker. Yeah, but now Edgar Wright is remaking the running man, and it’s Glenn Powell. And Glen Powell has been kind of again, press gangle set up to be in this game, and the game is the same sort of thing. But in this world. Of the current state, which is constant surveillance, people around you all the time, everyone has phones and everyone is playing like they’ve got some hunters that are trying to kill you. But if you feed the information of the location to the whereabouts of this person to a hunter, you can win money too.  Jill  Ohh.  Dion  So everyone’s on the hunt for you and you just have to survive 36 hours. That’s it.  Quinny  The the unfortunate thing is now looking at the State of America and like, yeah, you know, ice and stuff. I’m like, oh, ****, this is it’s kind of a little.

And yeah, there’s nothing quite like seeing 11,000 ******* Dean Dean, nerds singing along to a, you know, a song and shining all their lights. It was it was like going to a massive music concert.

Kovalska otkriva kako je od gaming videa došla do vođenja najvećeg YouTube festivala na Balkanu – i zašto veruje da svako ima svoj prostor online! U 321. epizodi Pojačala Ivan razgovara sa Milicom Leštarić, poznatijom kao Kovalska⁩ – prvom ženskom YouTube zvezdom Balkana koja je svojim radom i upornošću otvorila vrata digitalnog stvaralaštva za čitavu generaciju mladih kreativaca. Ovo nije samo priča o uspehu na internetu, već duboko iskren razgovor o tome kako se YouTube scena razvijala od entuzijazma do ozbiljne industrije, šta se dešavalo iza kulisa organizacije najvećih YouTube okupljanja poput Balkan Tube Festa, kao i kako se lični snovi i strasti spajaju sa realnošću i tržištem. Milica i Ivan vode vas kroz njenu transformaciju od deteta fasciniranog orijentalnim plesom do preduzetnice i organizatorke velikih događaja, osvetljavajući pri tome kako je digitalni svet evoluirao na Balkanu – od skrivenih username-ova do pune sale Sava centra. Njihov razgovor je opušten, ali temeljno analitičan; pun anegdota o prvim snimcima, nestašnim algoritmima i zajednici koja je odrasla zajedno sa svojim stvaraocima. O čemu smo pričali: - Kad porastem biću - Učenje i povezivanje - Počeci Youtube karijere - Razvoj Youtube karijere - Youtube u regionu - Core ekipa - Žongliranje platformama - Presek Youtube faza - Milica van Youtube-a Podržite nas na BuyMeACoffee: https://bit.ly/3uSBmoa Pročitajte transkript ove epizode: https://bit.ly/4kHG3uQ Posetite naš sajt i prijavite se na našu mailing listu: http://bit.ly/2LUKSBG Prijavite se na naš YouTube kanal: http://bit.ly/2Rgnu7o Pratite Pojačalo na društvenim mrežama: Facebook: http://bit.ly/2FfwqCR Twitter: http://bit.ly/2CVZoGr Instagram: http://bit.ly/2RzGHjN

Key figures like Brian Brooks and Howard Lutnick—linked to major stablecoins and now in influential government roles—highlight what Aaron describes as a Silicon Valley and “PayPal mafia” takeover of policy. The proposed Genius Act and Stable Act would require stablecoins to be fully backed by U.S. Treasuries, effectively forcing users to fund government debt and surveillance systems. With projections of $120 trillion in stablecoin transactions by 2030, Aaron calls this “turbo cancer for CBDC adoption.” The sheer scale of these numbers underscores the urgency he sees in resisting the push toward centralized digital money. The conversation then shifts to solutions within the privacy coin space, emphasizing unity against technocratic control. Aaron highlights FUSD (Freedom Dollar), a private algorithmic stablecoin built on Zano, which offers an alternative by being over-collateralized with Zano rather than tied to government-backed assets. He discusses Zano's technical advantages, including its deflationary model, while defending its pre-mine as a necessary step for development funding. Both hosts stress the importance of collaboration across privacy projects like Monero, Tari, and Zano to resist systemic control. They also preview Porkfest, where they'll host a privacy tent and welcome Ross Ulbricht and his mother Lynn, who is launching a new advocacy initiative.

Someone has to say it: Expo West isn't for everyone. One host makes a case on why some folks should skip the Super Bowl of CPG… while three others try to prove them wrong. We also sit down with Trevor Burns of Leisure Hydration, an emerging brand of electrolyte drinks making waves in Southern California. Show notes: 0:25: A Better Name. Han Jones & His Scotch. Press Pass Rescinded. Killer Soda. Spicy Pod & Sauces. – The hosts recall a past edition of BevNET's New Beverage Showdown, before Ray questions an alignment between a legacy Scotch brand and a popular, if aging, movie star. Then the sh_t hits the fan. The hosts engage in a debate about the value of some early-stage founders attending and/or exhibiting Expo West, until everyone agrees on one thing. John and Mike crack open cans of Liquid Death's new soda-flavored sparkling waters, Ray highlights a “sacred” drink brand, Jacqui gets spicy and everything starts to feel saucy. 29:13: Interview: Trevor Burns, Head of Sales, Leisure Hydration – Launched in 2022, Leisure Hydration markets “electrolyte refreshers” that are infused with vitamins, minerals and adaptogens. Packaged in 16 oz. cans, and available in three flavors, the drinks are distributed throughout California, including at Bristol Farms, Gelsons and Erewhon stores, and also has a presence in several other parts of the U.S., including Texas and the Pacific Northwest. At a recent event hosted by Naturally San Diego, Trevor talked about Leisure Hydration's methodical retail strategy, the impact of an adjustment to its brand name and how the company landed a big time partnership at seven major airports. Brands in this episode: Leisure Hydration, Glenmorangie, Glonuts, Maazah, Grounded, Liquid Death, Mate Party, Sacred Bev, PODI Life, Tierra Negra, Cleveland Kitchen, Tari
