Yeah, yeah. 

Dion 

No one. No one knew. The second ball will happen. They’re like, oh, we’ll make stuff about that. They’re fine. They can be the bad guy. Wait, they’re. Yeah, hang on. 

Quinny 

Yeah, I wasn’t expecting the Sound of Music to be quite as pertinent. Yeah, I wasn’t expecting it to be like a hard hitting look at where we could be right now. 

Dion 

Yes. UM. 

Peta 

It’s funny, I kind of felt the same way about 2001 a space odyssey. 

Dion 

Ohh well OK there you dropped it very late. Wow, hang on. Look at the context to this, OK. It is show 400. It’s well, it’s the 400 numerical show. We’ve done more. And also, as someone pointed in the chat today, we it’s our fourth year on Twitch. Yeah, we still don’t know what we’re doing. Fantastic. And tonight we’re going to be doing the. 

Speaker 

Well. 

Jill 

Yes. 

Speaker 

Good. 

Dion 

Guilty omissions. The things we should have seen. I mean. 

Quinny 

Sorry, I just wanna clarify. Guilty omission. Yes, not guilty. 

Jill 

Not e-mail. 

Dion 

Not guilty. I didn’t say emissions, I said omissions. Ohh. 

Quinny 

I know, but I I didn’t I I thought it was important to. 

Dion 

Clarify. OK. Yeah, guilty viewing. Omissions that we have not seen. I for my sins, I have. I have to watch. Well, I look my one of my plate is Smallville like and God dammit, where is Casper when you need him? This ones for you, buddy. I did that. Who? Who did? What else did you guys do? 

Jill 

I did back to the future because yes, I I am ashamed. Yeah. Yeah. And that I’m sick of people saying that to me. 

Dion 

You’ve never seen back to the future. Quick quick. 

Quinny 

Now you can walk amongst us in this this future time quick. 

Jill 

Yeah. And you know what? I don’t do **** by halves. I watch all ******* 3. 

Dion 

Of them. Nice. That was my follow-up question was like, did you watch just back to the future or did you watch back to the future? 

Jill 

No, I ******* watch all three. 

Dion 

Did you watch the pilot for the back to the future animation? 

Speaker 5 

No. 

Dion 

Did you watch? Did you watch Rick and Morty to see someone? 

Speaker 

Yeah. 

Dion 

RIP off back to the future, yeah. 

Jill 

No, but I can tell that. Rick and Morty is exactly. Back to the future and I haven’t watched that. 

Dion 

Show either ohh with you. 

Quinny 

Then you know you’re. You’re still just a filthy casual. 

Dion 

OK, gatekeeper, what did you watch? Quitting. 

Quinny 

I I got a little confused this week because I thought that I was meant to be watching the the sound. Of. Metal. Ohh, so I watched a hard hitting thing about like a a deaf. Drummer, who was playing medal with Rizman. It was it was a hell of a thing. And then I saw the trailer that you played just then and realized what a terrible error right now. 

Dion 

Right now, you watched the sound of metal. 

Speaker 

No. 

Quinny 

Yes, I watched the sound of Muzak because 4. 

Dion 

That’s going to be an interesting one. Just get trapped in an elevator. 

Quinny 

Many years now. I have read. Yes, Julie Andrews in an elevator. It’s it’s a thing. But for many years now, I have had a guilty admission that I have never seen that. And I thought when I watched this, I thought, hmm, let’s see whether I actually have seen it. And I’ve just forgotten. Right, definitely hadn’t seen it. 

Dion 

Definitely have not. 

Quinny 

Seen 100% not. 

Dion 

Seen and now you can’t Unsee it. No, that’s the beauty of this one. 

Speaker 

And. 

Quinny 

Yes, I see that the people are horrified that a theatre kid had. 

Dion 

Not seen this? Yeah, exactly. That was a horrifying. 

Jill 

Yeah, we were all a little bit astonished when we. Found out that you hadn’t. 

Peta 

Seen it. It’s the extra level. It’s not just that it’s a very famous movie, is that you’re a musical theatre nerd, yeah. 

Quinny 

Yeah, I’m not proud. I mean, I feel I feel like I’ve, I’ve now completed a part of the puzzle that is me. 

Dion 

Yeah. 

Speaker 10 

Yes. 

Jill 

How do you solve a problem like quitting? 

Quinny 

You you get a you. Get a a cloud and you. It down. 

Dion 

Right. 

Quinny 

And then you call it a flip integer, but then other names that are really quite harsh. And Pete? 

Dion 

Right. 

Peta 

A former film student who had never actually seen 2001 a space odyssey. One of the defining films of modern cinema. 

Dion 

Also, one of the last times on screen to see Pan Am. 

Speaker 10 

Ohh yeah. 

Dion 

Apart from catch me if you can, where it came back. 

Quinny 

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. When everyone thought Pan Am was going to be a real big deal for a real. Long time. 

Dion 

Definitely they went to space and all. 

Quinny 

Maybe not. So yeah, we’re essentially we’re going through all of our our things that we we feel slightly guilty that we haven’t watched or have been called out for. I may even have watched 3 or 4 episodes of parks and Rec just to shut you guys the **** **. 

Dion 

Yes. 

Speaker 5 

Yeah. 

Peta 

No, but quinny did you go second season? 

Quinny 

No, I’m still in first season. 

Peta 

You don’t listen. 

Quinny 

I I I watched it and I will probably. Leslie. Nope. The **** out of it, because it’s not. I will watch second season promise. 

Dion 

Like. 

Speaker 8 

Calming down, just just gently in. No, no, that’s good. Quinn. You should watch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just leave it on. Just, just, just let it. Run in the. 

Dion 

Background. Just do some other tasks, OK and then it’ll seep in and. 

Peta 

Mm-hmm. Yeah. 

Speaker 8 

Gotcha. 

Dion 

Much like the Sound of Music, which is your review, quinny tell us. Quinny. Did you enjoy the Sound of Music? 

Quinny 

OK, when I first started watching the Sound of Music or when I first found it to to to view, my first thought was why the **** is it? 2 hours and 50 minutes. Oh. 

Dion 

You thought Titanic was a long movie and this one was way big. Ohh. 

Quinny 

I was just like, I didn’t think they made films that long back then. I don’t think there was that much film. 

Jill 

I remember.

Peta 

Yeah. Yeah, it wasn’t that much fuel in my childhood because the VHS tape ran out before my parents finished recording it off the television. 

Quinny 

I was just. 

Speaker 

And. 

Peta 

Ended very differently for. 

Dion 

Me, it just goes. How do you solve a problem like Maria and? 

Speaker 

I said. 

Quinny 

Nothing. 

Peta 

Ohh, not married and lived happily ever after. Nothing bad. 

Quinny 

Happened. See, honestly, I was watching it and I got to that point and I suddenly understood all of these people who said that you can end the film there because, yeah, the film actually ends there. Like, there is a a shot where they get married and then it pans up to the top of the. The the bells and everything like. And you could run those credits right ******* there. 

Peta 

Genuinely thought that was it until like my mid 30s when I saw it playing. I was like, what is this scene? 

Dion 

Yep. 

Jill 

I deleted put it. 

Peta 

Why they running away? 

Quinny 

And what’s more, from that point, it takes a really sharp. Right hand. Turn. Yep. Like it’s OK, so it is. A very impressive film like it is beautifully shot. You know the the staging, the the sets. I was like, oh, wow, they’re gorgeous. The lighting is a beautiful, like, this is the kind of film making that they don’t do anymore because a it cost too much. And, you know, you’d have to pay actually talented people. Make it and currently we’ll just make that in a computer. But yeah, sorry, never better a little bit. Yeah, maybe. But also like you look at it and I was going. Oh, God. Look at those beautiful matte paintings. You know, the scene extensions out the back where you’re like, oh, God, this is stunning and. You know, I was also shocked at how many of the songs I had known. You know, also, I was a little surprised that it starts with the the song. There’s like the. 

Peta 

The song. Oh yeah. 

Quinny 

And I was. Like, oh oh, I I assumed that was somewhere in the middle. I figured that was like a big power ballad in the middle of the film somewhere. No straight into it. Yeah. Maria in the heels. Umm. Yeah. And it just it, it’s got some lovely pieces of music. It’s got enough interesting characters that. I was like. Oh, this is quite entertaining. Christopher Plummer does a very good job. Pretty sure it’s not him singing their children. I didn’t hate. Of. My kind of deep. 

Dion 

But once they all dressed the same, it was easier to like them. And they started moving around in unison and learned respect. 

Quinny 

When they will whistle that. 

Dion 

Exactly. 

Quinny 

Yeah, they like. There was a little thing where I was watching going. I’m not sure whether these are meant to be Aryan poster child. Them or they just happened to be Arian posted. 

Dion 

And then you got through to the second act. And you’re like. Yeah, didn’t didn’t let you know anything about that with the last name, von. 

Quinny 

Like there’s there’s. Trapp. Yeah, like. And there’s a song early on where the clearly someone in her mid to late 20s playing your 16 year old has the the musical number of you are. 

Speaker 5 

Hmm. 

Quinny 

16 going on 17 which is. Deeply problematic. And is dancing around with a a person who I looked at and went well. He’s definitely a Nazi post child. And then I got very confused. We’re not. Confused. I was. Uncomfortably vindicated by the end. Yeah, look. 

Dion 

Do you think it’s a cult? Like what? I want to know is, do you understand? Now the cultural touchstones and the iconography and the reason that everyone goes all the Sound of Music, you know? Ohh the sound of music’s on. We can watch that it’s a rainy Saturday afternoon. 

Quinny 

Yeah, well, yeah, because it takes up most of your Saturday. 

Dion 

Sure. And while we should go. Yes, children, just watch the Sound of Music. It’s a great film. 

Quinny 

Yeah, I mean. 

Dion 

There are lessons to learn. 

Quinny 

I’m. I’m still impressed that you know, in this day and age there are films out there that still have an intermission. Umm, you know, I was like ohh. I can go for a toilet break if I want. 

Peta 

In in this day and. 

Dion 

Age in in this day and age, every every time is an intermission. You just get. Pause. 

Quinny 

OK, so here’s the thing, Pete. This is a film that is. Now new to me. So as far as I’m concerned, the Sound of Music is a wonderful 2024 films. 

Speaker 8 

It has an intermission. 

Quinny 

Which is a real. 

Dion 

Throwback. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

Quinny 

But yeah, no, I’m. I’m having a I had a. Lot of fun. With it? Yeah, there, it ******* overstays its welcome. Pretty regularly. Like, there’s a lot of scenes. I was. Like. OK, I don’t think we really need to do a reprise of that. Song do we? Yep, well, yeah, we’re doing a lot of. 

Dion 

That one. OK, well, now you understand Rogers and Hammerstein. 

Quinny 

Yeah. Yeah. Look, and there it’s there’s so many historical artifacts in it. You know, that you you’re watching Julie Andrews and going. OK, I totally see why she became such a massive *. You know Christopher Plummer being, you know, stoic. But at the same time lovable and. Uh. I was intrigued to know where the the Countess and Max. Is it the brother? Trying to think what Max’s relationship is, I think he’s Uncle Max. 

Peta 

Yeah, but it it kind of always kind of felt like Uncle Max in that kind of like his dad’s. Weird friend way. 

Speaker 8 

Hmm. 

Quinny 

Yeah, yeah, like, probably not a relative. He’s just like uncle isn’t horrific. And at one point I did think, are we going down a really weird rabbit hole where, like, the Countess is gonna try and kill the children or. Mm-hmm. And I wasn’t. 

Dion 

Sure. One question I do have to ask, did you make the other pop culture reference that’s deeply embedded into the Sound of Music? Like what did you did you break? By some one of the von Trapp children, who may also have played portrayed one of the greatest American superheroes ever. No, you’re missing this one. I can’t believe you did pick up Nicholas Hammond. 

Quinny 

No, I’m what. 

Dion 

Right. Who plays Frederick von Trapp? Frederick is Spiderman of the television series the live action television series of the 80s Spiderman. 

Quinny 

Oh my God. I had no idea. 

Speaker 8 

Oh my God. 

Speaker 11 

So. 

Dion 

Quinny 

Yeah. So when he came out as a guest to some conventions here in Australia last year, he probably, you know, did like. 10s of signatures. 

Speaker 

Yeah. 

Dion 

Hey, let’s. Let’s let’s. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Wow. 

Speaker 5 

Wow. 

Quinny 

I mean, harsh, yes, but at the same time, I mean, look, OK, obviously. It’s it’s fascinating seeing a cultural artifact, a thing that you have never seen before. You know, words to the songs, you know, characters, you know, like, even pieces of choreography that I was like, oh, that’s where that’s from. Yeah. Yeah. And then going. Oh. 

Speaker 

Ah. 

Quinny 

And OK. Put it all together. 

Speaker 12 

Ohh. 

Dion 

Yeah. No, we’ve we see it’s all, it’s all, it’s all gone. Hell, it’s all gone. 

Peta 

When he’s back, I want. 

Quinny 

To hell, right? It’s quite an interesting. 

Peta 

To know what his favorite song. 

Quinny 

Story. 

Peta 

Was. 

Dion 

There we go. 

Quinny 

Probably enjoyed the most about. You hear me? Yes. 

Dion 

Now it seems it seems to be dropping out. Who might have to peddle harder on your Internet quinny. Unfortunately, you had a good point. It was really good. It was really good that you had a point there. 

Speaker 5 

My. 

Quinny 

I did my ohh. 

Dion 

Yeah, we can hit you again now. 

Quinny 

My Internet is fine. It’s bizarre. 

Jill 

Try it again. Try again you back. 

Dion 

Yeah, JoJo, Jojo’s bizarre adventures. Yeah, yeah. 

Quinny 

Yeah. So so Peter wants to know my favorite song. I heard that. I don’t know, I think. I think adelisa because of what it says. You know, it’s not a particularly interesting song like it’s, you know, pretty enough. 

Peta 

You’ll like it. 

Quinny 

But. I love the way it’s used. In the end I was. Like ohh OK. Right now I get why people have a thing with that song. But. I don’t know. I quite like some of the weird callbacks to though a deer. Like and the way that they kept on kind of like. From a musical theatre standpoint, I was very impressed with all of the little reprises and references and and you know, things where they’re tying **** together. I was like, ohh, that’s very clever. 

Peta 

But yeah, and do you understand more of Smithdown now? 

Quinny 

Oh my God this. There’s so much stuff in this film that I’m just like ohh God, I get it now. Yeah, but what? I was gonna try and say before my Internet hamster died was that. I think the ending is now super interesting because. It’s the part like up until and what the film is is interesting because. It’s at the time it must have been like, oh, this is a sweet film with a lot of, you know, really lovely singing and a lot of dancing children. And it’s all pretty light. But then it just ******* slaps you around the face and says, by the way, Nazis take that. And I was, yeah, I was impressed at how dark it went and just went. No, they’re they’re going to die if they’re caught, they’ll probably get shot. And the children who have been singing are now in mortal peril. 

Dion 

Yes, and we must escape by walking. 

Speaker 5 

Huh. 

Dion 

Yeah. 

Quinny 

Yeah, yeah. 

Dion 

Yeah, dug it. 

Jill 

I run, run, Shoshana, run. 

Dion 

Maybe that’s a good thing. Cross that over and actually get Tarantino to direct the Sound of Music. 

Quinny 

Too, which I’m sure if if Quentin Tarantino directed the Sound of Music to it, it just be called the sound of guns. 

Dion 

Just the. Nazis chased them across the Elks. What beautiful music they make, yeah. 

Quinny 

And it’ll have Christoph Waltz as as one of the Nazis. 

Dion 

Yeah, do. Ohh. That’s good. Well, that’s good. Yeah. Are you happy with that? I’m happy to leave that there. 

Quinny 

I feel very happy that you have made me do this because I now understand a lot more and. Have seen it, I feel. Better for it and I feel thank thankful to all of our our listeners who have guilted me into this ****. 

Dion 

Excellent. I no longer can we use this to make you feel inhuman and unworthy by saying you haven’t even seen the Sound of Music. I have to come up with a whole new raft of. 

Speaker 

Yep. 

Dion 

Attacks could you? 

Quinny 

Yeah, you’ll have to find a new film that I should. 

Speaker 

Damn it. 

Quinny 

Have. Watched. Probably. I don’t know. 

Dion 

Which one next? Which would you guys just like? Who’s got something to say about their thing? Jill. Peter, do you want to go next? 

Quinny 

I would love to hear from Jill. 

Dion 

Jill, alright, should we go to the the trailer first? About the one that that Jill hasn’t done and then we’ll come back and talk about? Sure. 

Speaker 

No. 

Dion 

We’ll go back, go back Doc’s back. 

Speaker 12 

This October, the greatest time traveling adventure is back on the big screen, the Lorean. 

Speaker 

You built a time machine. Why? Hello, praise God. 

Speaker 12 

Marty McFly and Doc Brown return. Whole new generation and you do could have serious percussions. 

Speaker 

On future events. 

Speaker 13

Speaker 

Got the hots for me. 

Speaker 12 

In glorious cinematic digital quality, for the first time ever.

Speaker 12 

It’s about time you suck. 

Speaker 13 

Back to the future. 

Speaker 12 

Back to the future. In cinemas October 2010. 

Speaker 11 

You’re going to go. 

Quinny 

Back with me, Jew. 

Speaker 5 

Gotta go back. 

Jill 

To the future. OK, so watching these movies, I’m like, oh, that’s where that lines from. Ohh. That’s where that lines from. Ohh, that’s that’s where that lines from. 

Dion 

Ohh. Ohh finally you caught up there. 

Jill 

Oh my God. So. You ******* quotable moments in the trilogy because they did not just watch back to the future. I also watched back to the future 2 and 3. 

Quinny 

Yay. 

Peta 

Well done because it is A1 continuous story. 

Jill 

It is and I had no idea I. Didn’t realize that it was like so. 

Peta 

It’s like a movie in three parts. 

Jill 

Continuous. Yeah. And you know what? I kind of really enjoyed about it, was that it did. Feel like a. Television series that I could just sit there and. Binge. Because I watched the first time I’m. Oh ****, that’s actually quite enjoyable. I wanna watch. The second one now and. Then I put that on. I’m like oh. **** it just keeps. Going. Yeah. And then and I’m like, oh, well, I have to do the third one and then it just keeps going again because at the end of the second one, you’re like, oh, ****. Well, you can’t stop now. You gotta watch the next one. 

Dion 

Very, very, very specifically, Jill, can I ask a question? Did you see any like metaphors between the character of Biff Tannen and any person in history that we may have? 

Quinny 

Anyone at all, anyone, anyone at all? 

Speaker 

You want it on. 

Jill 

Yeah. Yeah, maybe if you squint, yeah. 

Quinny 

Like the best talent. 

Jill 

I get the the 88, I get the 88 mph reference for that ******* bar. 

Quinny 

Oh my God. 

Speaker 5 

That we went to. 

Jill 

I just thought this is a fun. 

Peta 

You get the where’s my ******* jetpack? 

Speaker 

Oh God. 

Jill 

No, I don’t remember that one. 

Peta 

Just the idea that we have now we have surpassed the dates. Where’s where’s my motherboard? But because we have surpassed the date that the future was, yeah. 

Jill 

Ohh hoverboard. No it’s. My hoverboard. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I knew a lot. Of the stuff just from pop culture osmosis. Yeah, but. 

Dion 

Where’s our where’s our jaws movie? 

Jill 

A lot of. The other details. 

Dion 

Where’s our 3D jaws movie? 

Quinny 

It was 27. Yeah, June 19, OK. 

Jill 

It was 19. It was. I’m like. ****. I’m like, oh, I. See what Spielberg was involved in these movies? It was just to pedal his other stuff. 

Quinny 

No, no, Jill, I want to know, what’s your favorite of the trilogy? Because I think everybody has the one that they kind of. 

Speaker 11 

Yeah. 

Quinny 

Love the most? 

Jill 

I my attention did start to wane in the third one, I’ll admit, but I was looking forward to like a Wild West. Iteration I was looking forward to seeing that, but then I did start to get distracted and. Mind wandered and phone ended up in my hand. 

Quinny 

I just realized. Did you suddenly realize where the line duded up? Egg sucking gutter trash came from? 

Jill 

I can’t say I’ve ever heard. That I’ve said in real life. Ohh. 

Quinny 

Ohh. 

Speaker 8 

No, but it’s it used to. Be on the the video cassette like everything. 

Quinny 

VHS. 

Jill 

Oh, again, I don’t recall that. 

Dion 

Yeah, right. 

Quinny 

Had had the thing where, Gee, it was a good movie and they play a little bit of a movie and then the the. M rated one which wasn’t even rated at all. They played that tiny bit of back to. The future? It’s free, yeah. 

Jill 

I think I like the. 

Quinny 

Oh no, my Internet went to. 

Jill 

First one I think I like the first. 

Peta 

****. 

Jill 

One the best. 

Dion 

Is that cause they had the automatic Nikes? 

Jill 

That was in the second one. 

Dion 

The. 

Peta 

First one, he’s in the past. He has to get back to the future. The second one, he’s in the future. 

Jill 

Future. In the. 

Peta 

He’s gotta get, yeah. 

Speaker 8 

Future. Ohh that’s right. 

Speaker 

Back. 

Jill 

It’s been a while. It’s been a little while for you. Hey. 

Speaker 8 

All wibbly wobbly. 

Dion 

Timey wimey. They’re all one thing. It’s just one thing. 

Peta 

The first. Is follow me for. The changes. 

Jill 

Yeah. 

Quinny 

You kids are gonna love it. 

Jill 

There is like a bit of, oh, we’re just kind of throwing out the window. Everything that we established as like time travel in the first movie to make our plot work in the second movie. And that was a little bit annoying. 

Speaker 

Yeah. 

Jill 

The first movie. Look, it was. Action adventure. That’s my cup of tea. I just love an adventure story and it was good. And yeah, it’s trophy as ****. But that’s because everything has copied this movie. So I was like this is where everything came from and it was really enjoyable and the characters are great and Michael J. Fox is. 

Peta 

Hmm hmm. 

Jill 

Just a brilliant. The. 1. Issue with the first movie is. Like maybe saying that a white kid invented rock’n’roll like. 

Speaker 1 

Ohh. 

Jill 

Doesn’t age well. 

Dion 

Yeah. Couple of things in there. 

Jill 

Especially when he’s fronting a black band and then plays rock’n’roll music and they’re like, well. 

Speaker 

Yep. 

Jill 

Haven’t heard anything like this before. Yeah. 

Quinny 

Like, yeah. And then putting the phone up for Marvin Gaye or whatever. It’s my, my, my cousin Marvin. 

Jill 

Ish. 

Dion 

Yeah, yeah. 

Peta 

But I mean, The funny thing about that, I suppose, is that he clearly didn’t, because he only knows about rock’n’roll music because. 

Jill 

Movie. Yes, I yeah, I know it’s, it’s. 

Peta 

One of those timely things, but it still doesn’t match well. 

Quinny 

A loop. It’s a grand plan. 

Jill 

2nd movie I liked seeing Michael J. Fox in drag playing like his future daughter. It was he came out of nowhere. I was not expecting it, never seen that before in my life. I’m like. 

Speaker 8 

Mom. 

Jill 

This is great. It was very convincing, I must say. And I think just seeing all of the actors. 

Quinny 

That. 

Jill 

Playing like their. What their age, because they’re all in their 20s, but they’re playing teenagers, but then seeing them in, like, older makeup, playing themselves in the future and then like in the future future was, was really fun. Yeah. Also Alan Silvestri, one of the. 

Quinny 

Did you notice that? 

Peta 

Greatest soundtracks of all time. 

Quinny 

Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Did you notice that the father changed? Actor. 

Jill 

In he wasn’t really in the third. Movie. I thought he was. Yeah. 

Quinny 

No. Yeah. It’s an interesting thought. 

Jill 

And then they slipped. The girlfriend the girlfriend became Elizabeth. Shue in the. 

Quinny 

Third film. Yeah, yes, yes. And the second she was virtually written out of the second. 

Dion 

And the second film. 

Jill 

Ohh. 

Dion 

Look, look, you know this. 

Jill 

I’m like how? Did you do that? Because like at the start of the second movie, it’s the end of the first one. Like, did they keep the actress and just replay that scene? Because I don’t think. 

Dion 

Yeah, they, they, they reshot the whole thing. Yeah. Anyway, now you can go and enjoy all the trivia about back to the future. Yeah, and. Back. 

Quinny 

I I love all the stuff about back to the future, two or three they were. They were shot at basically back-to-back. Same time they were written. 

Jill 

Yeah. Because when. I. The second one finished. They were showing like a teaser trailer for the third movie. 

Peta 

And. 

Quinny 

Yeah. 

Jill 

So it’s like oh. They must have shot them at. The same time, yeah. 

Quinny 

And you can tell because they’re very tightly planned and you, you know, they’re they’re setting up things in #2 that they’re gonna pay off in #3. And, you know all. 

Speaker 

Hmm. 

Jill 

That kind of. Yeah. Oh, my God. The sports Almanac. Now, I know where that *******. Comes from, yeah. Yeah, I’m just really looking forward to my future where nobody says. 

Speaker 5 

Seen back to the future anymore? 

Speaker 8 

Finally, some back in the future. 

Peta 

You could tell by. People were getting upset, right? Like it’s it’s it’s. Yeah, it’s a lot of fun. Yeah. 

Speaker 5 

Yeah. But. 

Jill 

Look, it came out when I was one year old, like I wasn’t exactly busting down the cinema. Daughter. Go and watch. It was like it just kind of like, you know, passed me by. 

Dion 

That’s right. I feel I feel better. I feel better now that you have seen back to the future. 

Quinny 

That’s. 

Jill 

I’m glad you feel better because that’s why. 

Speaker 

About you. 

Jill 

I watched these movies to make everybody. Else feel better. 

Dion 

Exactly. No, you you you need somebody to talk about. Like, I’ve been struggling to think about things to talk about with. You, Jill, but. It’s just been no, I can be like. Hello, McFly. And you get that reference? Yeah. 

Speaker 5 

Hello. Hello everybody. Hello. 

Quinny 

Where are you from? Want you to make like a tree and go. 

Peta 

That was fun. 

Jill 

So yeah, but they were very good. I enjoyed them. 

Quinny 

And and you know a little bit of Billy Zane as one of the. 

Jill 

Yeah, I saw him in the credits. I’m like, wait, which? One was he? 

Dion 

Yep. 

Jill 

That was funny. 

Quinny 

I I love the the way that they used the locations and stuff really well too like that that you know the Hill Valley, the set is, you know, repeated in all three of them and incidentally is also the set for gremlins. Go figure. 

Speaker 

Hmm. 

Jill 

Yes. 

Dion 

Ohh and once it it’s snow though, so they just covered it in white. 

Peta 

Oh. 

Dion 

Stuff. 

Quinny 

Yep. But yeah, there were so many like things that came out of those films. I OK a lot of people call them or say that they’re like the perfect trilogy. Do you have a trilogy that you love more? 

Speaker 

Peta 

No, come on. Put me on the spot. 

Quinny 

I’m putting you. The spot? Big call. 

Jill 

God, what is? What are some other trilogies? 

Dion 

The Captain America trilogy. 

Quinny 

I mean, you’re not a big. 

Jill 

Sorry. 

Speaker 8 

The Captain America trilogy. 

Speaker 

oh 

Jill 

They’re pretty good. Yeah, cause the second one is the best one. 

Speaker 8 

Yes, this is it like. 

Jill 

No. 

Speaker 8 

For a time trouble. 

Jill 

I don’t know. They all have. They all have stuff that they offer. 

Dion 

For a time travel movie, it’s very it’s, it’s good, like it’s entertaining. 

Speaker 

Yeah, good in. Their own way. 

Dion 

It it does resolve. 

Jill 

Yes. 

Speaker 

Of. 

Dion 

All the characters are basically likable. 

Jill 

Yeah, exactly. But all had a. Happy ending. It was good. 

Quinny 

Amazing. Yeah. Yeah. And and I do love the way that the first film is essentially a really weird eater pool kind of thing of. Just like are you? Aren’t you going to bang your mum? 

Dion 

Yeah. 

Quinny 

Yeah, that was weird. 

Dion 

Yeah. 

Jill 

OHS, just giving me some trivia. 

Dion 

And then. 

Jill 

I did not notice that the Twin Pine Mall becomes the Twin Pine Mall after Marty runs over a tree. That’s that’s good. I did not notice that. 

Quinny 

Yeah, that’s very clever. 

Dion 

They got a. 

Jill 

Good deal. Yeah, it was enjoyable. Like the the tension in the second movie is very good because you’re like, Oh my God. He’s gotta like. Iron out everything I’m like. This is why you don’t do time travel, guys. Cause you’re gonna. **** something up. 

Speaker 5 

Hmm. 

Quinny 

Yeah, but he does get a sweet hat and some cool. 

Dion 

But is, but is it of his like is he? Is he really his own grandfather? Who knows? And I want to see more adventures of Doc Brown and on the steam train. 

Speaker 5 

Yeah, that was. 

Jill 

Fun thing that, like kind of threw me about the third movie, was that, like his great grandmother by marriage also just happens to look like his mother. In his timeline, I’m like. It’s a bit ******* weird. 

Dion 

Let’s just. 

Jill 

I’m like also what kind of nepotism is going on that Leah Thompson? Is in every movie with like a high credit. 

Dion 

Hollywood nepotism does not exist. Jill, what are you talking? 

Jill 

Yeah, there’s something was going on there that they cast her in everything. 

Dion 

About there’s nothing. Here. 

Speaker 

This is again. 

Quinny 

I do remember meeting her and she was a very, very strange chick. 

Jill 

Really. 

Quinny 

Yeah. 

Speaker 8 

Like. 

Quinny 

Yeah. One of those ones that you made at A at A at an event and you’re like ohh yeah, you, you, the the 80s was hard on. You, wasn’t it? 

Dion 

Yeah, Speaking of being hard on people, Peter. Do you wanna talk about 2001 a space odyssey? I do. Not have a trailer. 

Peta 

Yes, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you in advance that I was going to watch it cause I didn’t know if I was going to have time to watch it. And frankly, I. Didn’t have time to. Watch it. 

Speaker 

It’s. 

Dion 

So you haven’t watched 2000, so you’re guilty admission for tonight? 

Peta 

I watched quite. 

Dion 

You didn’t quite watch your guilty omission. 

Peta 

Yeah, quite enough of 2001 Space Odyssey to confirm that it wasn’t a terrible decision not to watch 2001 a space odyssey in the. This place allow me to contextualize. I’ve seen the things right. You know, you’ve seen the dawn of man. You’ve seen the floating pen. Yeah. You’ve seen over the pod Bay doors, Hal. You’ve seen. I’m scared, Dave. Like, like you’ve seen the bits and like, you’ve both said, I mean, it is a cultural touch point. 

Quinny 

Yeah. 

Peta 

Not only have you seen the bits, you’ve seen the bits about the bits about the bits, about the bits, about the bits. Yeah, yeah. 

Jill 

And I mean, The Simpsons have covered all three of the things that we have omitted. So. 

Peta 

3rd. 

Speaker 5 

Your name. 

Jill 

These originals, when you got The Simpsons. 

Quinny 

Yeah, essentially all we’re doing is getting the connective tissue. 

Peta 

On other things. The thing is, you know, I saw the first bits as full excerpts in film school in which they were, you know, discussed and picked apart. And the importance of the way the bits were handled. 

Dion 

Even in even in film school, you didn’t have to watch the whole thing. You were just allowed to watch 10 minutes. 

Peta 

To. Not that no, not that particular class. That particular class wasn’t a watch. I mean, lots of classes will watch the film and discuss the. 

Dion 

Of it. Ohh. 

Peta 

Film. But that particular class was a general cinema history class and it wasn’t one of the assigned films to watch. However, there were plenty of, and I watched. 

Quinny 

Oh, OK. 

Peta 

A lot of things like, you know. 

Speaker 

That. 

Peta 

Blade Runner, like a lot of the things that I had seen I saw in a lecture theatre at Uni and Blade. 

Dion 

That’s just, that’s just one film. Here. 

Peta 

Runner in particular was a laser disc of the directors cut specifically, which is different to the cut that most people have seen. So like you know, nerd ****, it’s fine. 

Quinny 

Oh. Wow. Very. 

Speaker 

Hmm. 

Peta 

But but the impression that I got from watching and discussing all of these clips is that I very much did not want to watch. This film because. It seemed very, very slow in its approach, and I think that that is something that I’ve got from watching other Kubrick films over the years because, you know, I don’t ignore. All important cinema. Is. 

Speaker 

Yes. 

Peta 

As a director, his his pacing is particularly slow, but but also. Just the way that cinema has changed overtime we. Are used to. A much faster pace as well. So with those kind of combination of things and these clips that I’ve watched, I’ve kind. Of gone, they’ve seen enough. Seen enough of this film, however, I did rent the film and did my best with my limited time to watch most of it, and they had just kind of flipped through a lot of the very, very long. Connective tissue bits, where we just kind of drift from one place to another in 10 minutes. So I have. I don’t I I did the thing mostly I do think that like really the only way to watch 2001 Space Odyssey properly is in a cinema. 

Speaker 5 

Hmm. 

Dion 

And. 

Peta 

In 1968, having dropped a tab of. Asset. 

Dion 

Yes, thank you. That’s very. It’s very important that if you’re going to see 2001 especially in the cinema that you watch most of the film and then about halfway, that’s when you drop the acid so that it kicks in. At the right time. 

Quinny 

Just for the for the the star baby and the moment where they go into the actual obelisk. 

Dion 

Yes, exactly. That’s the whole point. 

Peta 

Being, I mean, I hate that ****, and I know it’s a super important film and it’s like so impressive and and genuinely one of the films that has shaped modern cinema and to be respected but personal taste. You know me. I hate that weird, vague, quasi storytelling. Yeah, I mean, I’m even madder now that interstellar exists because, like, it’s just 2001, a space odyssey. But now, like, we can pretend that Chris Nolan has done a thing. Shut up. 

Speaker 

Oh. 

Dion 

Because you you can’t talk about the robots that way. The robots are way better. 

Jill 

I mean, I mean interstellar. Did invent a new technology that simulated a black hole? 

Dion 

And Tars is better than how. 

Peta 

2001 for 1968 extraordinarily impressive rendering of the future, and I think what I mainly learned from it is don’t give AI control over your life support. 

Dion 

Sure. 

Speaker 12 

Hmm. 

Quinny 

Which we’ve been. 

Peta 

Actually, quite pertinent now 2001. 

Dion 

Which we’ve been saying and which you know, sort of futurists have been saying this all along, which is like, hey, you should really not let computers make decisions that affect humans. And yet people are still like this computer made all my decisions, no? 

Peta 

But I mean, honestly, I mean, if you haven’t seen it recently, you may have forgotten that that entire dawn of man sequence that has become the famous thing that happens over and over again, it’s 10 minutes long. It is, it is 10 minutes of of like men running around in gorilla suits. 

Quinny 

Carrying. 

Peta 

Depicting depicting everything that happens in the lead up to the bone getting getting tossed on till at at over 20 minutes through. 

Dion 

Little, in fact, it wasn’t actually. They they weren’t actually part of the original cast. They were actually just extras leftover from the planet of the Apes, which was filming next door, and they just ran on and Kubrick was just a genius. He just went with it. He was just supposed to film the obelisk for 10 minutes. That was it. That was just the strong opener for Kubricks was just this black obelisk for 10 minutes. Hopefully it works. 

Quinny 

So Pete, I I guess my question is, do you have any interest at all in watching 2? 1010. 

Peta 

Yeah. 

Speaker 1 

Hmm. 

Peta 

It’s kind of hot, but like aside from that new. 

Quinny 

Yeah, no. Don’t. It’s not good. 

Dion 

Do you do you feel better about having seen 2001 now, do you? Feel more like. 

Peta 

I mean, not really. It’s kind of it was exactly, but I expected it to be and I was like, yeah, This is why I didn’t watch this. The choices in life, Peter. 

Quinny 

Yeah. Just vindicating yourself all the way. Over. Just like Yep. 

Peta 

It is kind of that that thing, you know, when you are watching, you know, like you guys have done like. A really important touch stone piece of pop culture that you have seen. All of the riffs on and all of the references to in many, many, many ways over the years. So when you see like the actual thing, it feels old hat. Or is he like, no, no, no, no. This was the stroke of genius that gave birth to all of those things that I’ve seen. Over and over and over again through the years he it’s kind of like you just have to keep reminding yourself that like, no, this is like. 

Dion 

I felt that way watching. 

Peta 

Like this is the thing, yeah. 

Quinny 

This is formative. 

Dion 

I felt I felt that way watching the beekeeper. 

Jill 

Deal. 

Quinny 

It is funny though, isn’t it? When you do see so many of these sort of things where like ohh, OK those those pods or that kind of space suit or that depiction of any gravity. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. I mean, I I do still think there are there are there’s some cool **** in there like the the bit where they’re walking around. 

Speaker 5 

The. 

Peta 

Five beds. So, oh, it’s all cool, she. 

Speaker 

It. 

Quinny 

It’s also boring. 

Peta 

It’s it’s boring. It’s it’s. Incredible production for 1968 like. 

Dion 

All of the amount of effort that they had to put into doing really boring ****, like when the pen is flying through the. Air. Ohh. Like, yeah, but I mean. Whole rigmarole they went through just to get that shot. It’s like that’s a bit dumb. 

Peta 

Well, I mean it is and it isn’t because it it was so transformative for cinema at the time. Like we think now. Oh, that’s a bit dumb, but it’s actually and and or tell or to filmmakers setting the standard for. 

Quinny 

Hmm. 

Peta 

For for sci-fi, essentially setting the standard for sci-fi cinema for the next 40 years, which is. 

Speaker 5 

Yeah. 

Quinny 

Yeah. 

Dion 

I mean, you still gotta think too, that this is 10 years before things like stuff. 

Peta 

Kind of cool. 

Dion 

Wars. 

Quinny 

You know an alien and yeah, you know, silent running and all that stuff else, Canoga and the chats made an interesting thing that asking have we heard the original score by Alex N so the original composer didn’t know that his score had been abandoned by Kubrick until he went to the premiere. And didn’t hear his score. 

Dion 

Ohh. Ooh, you think you think you know, getting freaking ghosted by someone on Tinder these days is bad. Imagine that. 

Speaker 

Yeah. You’re. 

Quinny 

You’re at the. And you’re like, oh, this is gonna be so. 

Speaker 11 

Ohh. 

Quinny 

Good. And you’re like, hang. On that’s the temp track. 

Speaker 

Quinny 

He left thus Spake Zarathustra in yeah. What the ****? 

Dion 

God. 

Quinny 

Man, that’s rough. Yeah. 

Dion 

Rough rough. Roughly rough. 

Quinny 

I I remember I’ve I only ever watched it once. I could never be ******. 

Jill 

Again, I can’t even remember. If I did watch the whole way. Through. Because it is so long and dull, I’m like. Yeah, I’ve seen it. I’m like, wait, have I? 

Peta 

Feel like you remember the weird **** that happened at the end of your. 

Jill 

Seen. Whole set. 

Peta 

Watch it the. Whole way through. I don’t think that should always. 

Dion 

Yeah, based on Peter’s recommendation, I’m not sure you’re gonna watch it. You’re never gonna return to it. 

Speaker 1 

Ohh look even cause I think. 

Peta 

Like if there was an opportunity to go and see it on the big screen in a cinema. 

Speaker 3 

Peta 

Sure, I would consider taking it for the experience of the cinematography and the design of it. Yeah, but I probably get real bored. 

Dion 

With LSD for that last bit. 

Quinny 

Yeah, I was gonna say, I reckon that last little section with LSD or a gummy or something like. That you’d be like ****. 

Peta 

A lot of people were doing. 

Dion 

Yeah. You think in the 60s? 

Speaker 11 

Hey. 

Peta 

But also because like if you can imagine. Going to a cinema and experiencing that level of sci-fi world building for the very first time on the big screen like **** that you wouldn’t have even like imagined. 

Speaker 

Hmm. 

Peta 

Back then you can kind of see why all of these like. 

Quinny 

And. 

Peta 

Long sequences that just. That just like display all of the detail of every moment of all of these transitions that would have actually been kind of an amazing cinema experience. 

Quinny 

And you you you take into account that this was a year before people. Landed on the moon. 

Peta 

Yeah, like wow. 68 like it’s like. 

Quinny 

Yeah. When when you? Kind of go. That’s that’s a big ******* thing, isn’t it? Yeah. You know, we haven’t seen people actually interacting with 0 gravity or. You know, walking on as a low gravity planet or whatever, that’s that’s pretty ******* great. Great. 

Dion 

That’s why they got Kubrick to film the Moon landing. 

Quinny 

I did watch that fly me to the moon. That’s questionable films. 

Speaker 3 

Yeah. 

Jill 

Oh, it’s it’s a romp. 

Quinny 

It was fun. It’s like a laugh that I. 

Speaker 8 

A rump. 

Dion 

Enjoyed it? It’s a rump up till you get to the point where you like, stop feeding the idiots. 

Quinny 

Yes. 

Speaker 

Stopping it. 

Quinny 

Anyway, well, now, now we find that Quinn. 

Dion 

You believe in the moon? 

Quinny 

As far as I’m aware, the only thing the the the deep dark secret about the moon is that in that episode of Doctor Who, where it turns out that Moon’s actually. A giant bug egg, yeah. 

Dion 

Yeah, well speaking. 

Quinny 

That’s the truth. And it’s one of the. Of doctor. 

Dion 

Speaking of the moon, the moon turned up in the. Thing that I had to watch. Ohh Casper. Oh, oh, no. OK, very OK. The last one that we’re talking about right now, I’ll just go to the clip. We’re gonna go to the trailer and see if you can guess what. What I have like, store. 

Jill 

Pasta is just in time. Oh my God. 

Quinny 

Yeah. 

Speaker 2 

What? 

Jill 

We’re leaving for the farmers market in 15 minutes and you haven’t done your chores yet. 

Speaker 

Can you just weren’t?

Speaker 14 

You. I took a shortcut to what? A black. 

Speaker 10 

Hole. That’s just snooze, our chapter reporter. 

Jill 

Statistical fact Clark Kent can’t. 

Speaker 14 

Get within 5 feet of Lana. Lang, without turning into a total freak show. 

Speaker 

Is he always so? 

Speaker 10 

Black life sometimes he’s totally there and you think you know everything about him. And then there’s this part that’s. 

Speaker 

Mysterious. 

Speaker 15 

Sonny. All right, I’m OK. 

Speaker 

Who’s the maniac who was driving that? Car that would be me. Lex Luther. 

Speaker 10 

Thanks for saving my. 

Speaker 

Life. 

Speaker 15 

I’m sure you would have done. The. Same thing I didn’t dive in after Lexi’s car. It hit me at 60 miles. An. Hour. Does that sound normal to you? I give anything to be normal. 

Dion 

It’s time, son. 

Speaker 15 

Time for what? 

Speaker 

The truth. 

Speaker 15 

This is how you came into our world, son. It’s the day of. 

Speaker 

The meteor shower. 

Speaker 15 

This is Joe Pratt. 

Quinny 

Why didn’t you tell me about this before? 

Speaker 

We wanted to protect. 

Speaker 12 

Pretending for what? 

Speaker 15 

Comatose boy found in field 20 yards from Meteor strike. 

Speaker 14 

The exposure to the blast must have done something. 

Speaker 15 

To his body now this can’t. Be. Right. I think you ought to. 

Speaker 10 

Show him. Show me. 

Speaker 15 

What? 

Speaker 14 

Started out as a scratch just kind of mutated. 

Speaker 15 

What is it? 

Speaker 1 

I call it the wall of weird. It’s every. 

Speaker 14 

Strange, bizarre and unexplained event that’s happened in Smallville since the meteor shower began. Think about it, Clark. Pieces of that meteor are still buried all over small. 

Speaker 1 

Little habitats infected. 

Speaker 15 

You need to talk to mom. I think I really freaked her out this. Time he also made a really proud Clark. 

Jill 

So are you man or Superman? 

Speaker 

Hey. 

Speaker 15 

What’s happening to me? I honestly don’t know you. 

Speaker 11 

Gotta have faith. Figure this thing out together. 

Speaker 15 

But this is happening to me and I’m scared. 

Speaker 

I don’t know. Seems kind of out there. 

Speaker 2 

Well, this coming from the man who’s been hiding a spaceship in his storm cellar for the last 12 years. 

Dion 

Ohh, there we go. OK, finally. 

Quinny 

Some nonsense. 

Dion 

I can’t play the music without getting a season to season. 

Quinny 

Everyone’s like, why did you play the? 

Dion 

Oh. 

Quinny 

Theme song it’s like. 

Dion 

Yeah, yeah, it. Wasn’t on that trailer. Yeah, yeah. Singing. Singing your head. No one will see this show. 

Jill 

See you then your head guys. 

Dion 

Smallville. Yes. Yes. Yay, I. 

Jill 

So tell me, Dion, did you watch all 220 episodes? 

Quinny 

Dion 

Now. I have things that I have to. Do. In life and one of them that I can’t do is watch 220 episodes of television, especially since the decision before making like what we were gonna do and this show happening now live. I didn’t even have 220. To do. That. 

Jill 

I’m not trying hard enough. 

Dion 

Even if you watch him on double speed, no. So I decided to not do the thing that I usually do. So this is this is the thing that I did not just read the wiki and. Go through wikis, right? 

Speaker 5 

Dion 

Man, I didn’t. I watched the pilot. And then I watched the finale, and I’m making stuff up in my brain about what? How did we get from A-Z? 

Jill 

Incredible. 

Speaker 

That’s incredible. 

Quinny 

I am also interested to know Pete with you are with Smallville because I know that Jill and I are both lifers. 

Peta 

I watched Smallville during its initial broadcast. 

Quinny 

Alright. 

Peta 

I cannot remember how much or for how long. 

Quinny 

Did you? Did you watch it when it like cause it was broadcast for about three seasons on Australian TV and then it ****** off? Yes. 

Peta 

Yeah. OK. Well, that’s probably how much I’ve seen. 

Jill 

I do recall. Torrenting the remainder of it to watch it, yeah. 

Quinny 

Yeah, couldn’t watch it anywhere. 

Jill 

Because it was like CW and then that just like I think it changed from like WB to CW during that whole thing and then so we kind of lost the broadcast rights in Australia. 

Quinny 

That’s the one. Yeah, that’s exactly what happened. 

Dion 

Peta 

So Dion needs to talk. 

Dion 

I do and I need. 

Jill 

This is his thing. This is his thing. 

Dion 

Good, because yeah, this was the thing that I was like, you know, I also love this because quitting and you’ll have seen all of this. So they know they can help me with the questions that I have and people in the chat have definitely watched this one. So I need to explain to you the the the trauma that I’m having. Process. It as well. So I gotta say, first episode, actually pretty good. I really like this the CGI’s data. But what do you expect from all of that kind of stuff? That’s OK. You know, like strong some strong opening things in there, you know like, you know, Smallville sets the scene. It’s the creamed corn capital of the world. I thought I didn’t see the sign. I did see the sign. 

Quinny 

No crows. 

Dion 

No cries. Strong opening by frigging the parents in front of the three-year old like straight away with an asteroid that like they just didn’t mess around with it. I was watching this and I’m like that ******* asteroid destroyed the car which blew up and the child is watching it and like and then someone took a photo like a photojournalist had, like this thing. And I was like. Oh my God. Like, what’s going on? And then, you know, Baby Clark turns up and I’m like, it’s very much touching on the original Superman film, which, you know, the kind of red nappy diaper I was like, oh, no, this is. Kind of good I like. This is this is interesting and it’s, you know, it’s a TV budget. I understand these things. 

Quinny 

Mm-hmm. 

Dion 

You know, you get your Ranger kid with his terrible hair who’s being bullied by his dad. Fine. And and then, you know, you go forward and you’re meeting, you know, like 90210 group of people who are like, you know, Clark and I thought it was Lois. And it was not Lois. It’s Lana. 

Peta 

Yeah, yeah. 

Quinny 

No. 

Dion 

Yeah, we’re getting to this bit now like and. And I thought, you know, for an opening of the, you know, the the the pilot episode, it’s strong. It’s a good thing it gave you, you know, a bit of peril. It had a bit of the monster of the weak quality. It was a little bit X-Files Y you get introduced to all the. Characters. They’re not all terrible. 

Quinny 

You you are hitting all of the things that they wanted you. 

Dion 

To notice I know like. I mean I’ve got it and I was kind of like ohh. I understand this. It’s not Superman. It’s the Superman. And the college years. And this is great. Interesting. You know, I was watching great, I think small, little small. I can see why they made ten seasons of this problem. All right. Then I watched the finale. 

Jill 

It was a 2 parter as well. 

Quinny 

Not, not just the final. 

Dion 

Episode no I watched 2. I watched them both like I watched the Lord of the Rings and then the Frankenstein. That’s how I can classify these two things. The whiplash I got watching the opening. From the first pilot, like just the opening credits, and then the opening credits for the last season, that one I was like. What the **** is happening? First. Where’s Lana? She’s gone. She’s disappeared. We now have Lois Lane, and we have a weird Clark Kent working at Metropolis in the suit kind of thing. And they’re getting married and there’s all the. So where did lex go? He was very important in the first one. Oh, so that’s done. 

Speaker 

Yeah. 

Dion 

In the in the pilot was quite good actually of hitting like the car going off the bridge and the stunt person I was like, that’s a great stunt for a television. Show and then you know Lexi’s gone. I don’t know what’s going on. They’re just getting married for some reason. Alison Mack is now a very important person in this entire series, which I do not get. I do not understand why the green arrow is there. That is the potentially like just based on that two episode performance, it’s one of the worst performances like. Yeah, like, come from in the comments, I don’t mind. 

Quinny 

Hey, don’t you be knocking out Justin Hartley we love. 

Jill 

Exactly. I was devastated when they cast Stephen and Mel as the green arrow like no, and Justin and then. 

Quinny 

Justin Hartley. And then you got arrow which was, you know, arrow. Yeah. 

Dion 

That, that, that Lord of the Rings ******* episode of the Gold Kryptonite ring. 

Quinny 

And we loved. 

Dion 

Was. 

Quinny 

You’re gonna have to help me on that one, dude, because I can’t. 

Jill 

Yeah. 

Quinny 

Actually remember this is 14 years ago, yeah. 

Dion 

No, no. The dark side had corrupted the green arrow, who was who had fallen prey to whatever thing, and dark side, by the way. 

Jill 

I don’t remember that. 

Dion 

Is just a a. 

Jill 

Smoke monster? Yeah. 

Dion 

A theory dark side is a theory or bad CGI in a smoke monster. Also, the planet Apocalypse is coming to Earth for some reason, which is also like. 

Jill 

Yeah, they’re merging the planets. I’m sure that was a comic book storyline. It was like a I can’t remember. 

Quinny 

Yep. 

Dion 

What? Yeah, also it’s a strong like, sorry, weird opener to have Allison Mack’s character just reading a comic book to a kid. 

Peta 

That was. 

Dion 

At the start. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. But anyway, like the Lois and Clark was supposed to be getting married. Except Lois called it off until she read Clark’s vows and then she decided to get married to him again. And right before they got married, they found. 

Quinny 

I’m here. 

Dion 

That the ring had been changed out for a gold kryptonite ring which would have stripped Superman of all his powers, were the only person who recognised what was going on was the Allison Mack character, who knocked it out of Lois’s hand. Chloe. Sorry. Yeah, I didn’t know. I only watched the pilot. I can’t remember these. 

Quinny 

People’s names. Bobby was in the pilot. 

Dion 

Yeah, I know. Like the names of the characters. She didn’t have any peril. And then apocalypse like, sorry. That was the Lord of the Rings one. And then Superman saves Green Arrow with the power of love. 

Quinny 

Oh yeah. 

Dion 

I think you know, it’s like you’re better. I will cry a single tear and I’m cured of apocalypses dark magic. OK, that’s fine. That’s the setup for the first one. Then the second one. Jesus Christ. What is going on? Why is Lex Luthor a Frankenstein? Why has he been stitched together? Also, there’s a there’s, there’s his sister, who’s a Luther, and she’s on the good side because she has, like, all of the heroes. But the heroes aren’t really heroes. And then their satellites are out and then plucky reporter Lois. Lane manages to knock out her peer at her work colleague and steal the accreditation to get on Air Force One and convince the president to not nuke Apocalypse. And she does that with a speech. Like, she’s not like, like, she’s not shot immediately by the. 

Speaker 

Got it. 

Dion 

Secret Service, which she busts. Yeah. 

Jill 

Well, her father’s a general. He’s general, but you know. 

Quinny 

Yeah. Yeah. Oh. 

Dion 

Yeah, I’m pretty. Yeah. She didn’t have any clearance or whatever. And then, like, I also love that in that final finale, both Superman and Lex Luther get matching flashbacks of the entire series. Like they both have character. 

Jill 

She’s got she’s got got. 

Dion 

Moments where they just sit back and think, hmm, all these adventures I had like 1 I could understand, but both of them. And then yeah. And then you never see dark side. 

Quinny 

Oh. 

Dion 

And Superman’s in the suit for about 1/2 a second. 

Speaker 11 

Miss. 

Quinny 

Yeah. Yes. 

Dion 

Yeah. And then he just. 

Jill 

Yeah, that was. The worst cocktails of the whole thing. 

Dion 

10 and *******, but then. But then he just pushes pockets. It just pushes the planet away. Just goes. 

Speaker 8 

Yeah. 

Quinny 

Yeah, problems. 

Dion 

We’ve saved. Anyway, end of series. 

Quinny 

Oh. Sorry, predicting is reminding me of things that happened in other shows in other season. 

Jill 

OK, now the seasons, yeah. 

Dion 

So now, now that I I have watched that and that is my review of it going, I’m not understanding if you things. I have some questions I need to put to the people who have actually watched all of this. What happened to Kristen. 

Quinny 

OK. Thank you. For this.

Jill 

What happened to? 

Dion 

What happened to Christian creak? Weird Lana go. 

Jill 

OK, so there was a storyline. Remember how like in the comics, Lex builds like a suit that powers him against Superman in like. 

Quinny 

His big super. His yeah, yeah. 

Jill 

It suit thing. Well in this show it was. Actually like a. Drug and that he had given it to Lana, so she did not know that she was the suit and that she could, like, stop Superman, basically. 

Dion 

Wait, he did? He? Did he have to? Did he wear her? 

Jill 

It was like this whole weird thing. 

Quinny 

That’s right, she basically. 

Peta 

Strength rooted her, yeah. 

Quinny 

She did? Yeah. She’s basically kryptonite infused. 

Jill 

She. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So. She was the suit because it was. Like a thing that she had become, but she didn’t know. Yeah. And then she kind of like she was, she was, she was in a coven. I can’t remember when that happened. 

Quinny 

And it was, yeah. 

Peta 

It does not explain no. 

Quinny 

Season 5 I think Season 5 is the weird one where lower. Sorry, Lana isn’t. 

Jill 

She kinda just like, got too cool for everybody and ****** off. 

Peta 

OK, that that was an explanation. 

Quinny 

Yeah, pretty. Yeah. 

Peta 

Yeah. So what? She’s like, super strong and in a cover now. 

Quinny 

Yes. She was only a witch for a season and that was only so that they could get like this one heart-shaped crystal so that they could find the the thingy of solitude. 

Dion 

There’s a lot of. 

Quinny 

I mean there there was a heart-shaped. 

Dion 

Crystal, look, you know, I I was quite happy with Terence Stamp being the voice of jorel. That’s fine. But also, apparently there was a fight between Jorel and what’s his name. 

Quinny 

That. Yep. 

Dion 

Parking and they. Ohh yeah, like each other they’ve got resolved finally at the end and then Superman could fly it anyway. That’s when you had the flashback of all of the rest of the seasons. 

Quinny 

There’s there’s the the really weird part where Jorel came to Smallville in the 50s and it was. 

Dion 

I didn’t really understand. 

Quinny 

Yeah. 

Jill 

Yeah, it’s like that. Star Trek One movie. When they go back to the. 

Dion 

Right. 

Jill 

60s to save the whales. 

Speaker 5 

Yeah. 

Quinny 

Right. And and wasn’t there also a part where that was Julian Sands, was he? Like. I think he was like jewel at one point anyway. 

Dion 

Well, it’s a question one of the questions that I do have is why is the green arrow in this? 

Jill 

Because you couldn’t. 

Dion 

And such an important person. 

Jill 

Get Batman. You can’t get Batman, right? So they had to swap out for Green Arrow. That’s why we have the Arrow TV. Show just couldn’t do Batman. Yeah. 

Dion 

Yeah, also, the green arrows finale last part was just to shoot 3 arrows into three people that disappeared into smoke while performing the delivering the lines in the worst tough guy accent. I think I have ever heard. 

Jill 

I was so in love with him. 

Dion 

And the the costume is terrible. 

Quinny 

No, no. 

Dion 

And he needed. He needed to do more. Do. More push-ups cause he wasn’t. 

Quinny 

Buff enough that that costume that that hoodie hoodie thing? Yeah, was was the start of something because there was the episode that introduced the Quasi Justice League which had Aquaman, Flash, Green Arrow and Ohh Cyborg and they were all wearing sleeveless hoodies. 

Dion 

The hoodie vest. 

Quinny 

But Superman wasn’t. No he had his stupid red *******. Jacket. 

Dion 

Yeah. 

Jill 

Yes. We also had Michael Shanks’s Hawkman throughout the years. We had Alan Rich Richson as Ackerman. 

Speaker 5 

Oh. 

Dion 

Jack Reacher. 

Jill 

Season 5 Jack Reacher was Aquaman back in the day. 

Quinny 

Right. We got so many like there were so many attempts at doing big comic book storylines like that. The Hawkman 1 was also accompanied by, I think it was. Oh God, the justice society. So. 

Jill 

Yeah, because he was like a archaeologist and he was looking for Thanagar and all. 

Quinny 

That kind of stuff. Yeah. And there was. There was doctor fight. There was all. Sorts of other stuff. Oh, I see. This is like, I’m pretty sure they did a. 

Speaker 5 

Yeah, this is. 

Dion 

Blue beetle and Booster gold episode. Also the dude music in this. The soundtrack was angsty rock no matter, but also they all sounded the same. Every song was slightly to the same sounding. 

Quinny 

Yes. 

Jill 

It was the 2000s. 

Quinny 

All all angsty was the same deal. 

Dion 

Was. 

Jill 

It finished in 2011, so this show went for like 2001 to 2011 like. 

Dion 

It was the decade of Creed, and it just kind of pervaded. 

Jill 

It was premium emo time. 

Dion 

Primo time. 

Quinny 

Yeah, like the great thing is there and you managed to skip through the the multiple seasons where everybody was going for ***** sake, why isn’t he Superman yet? 

Dion 

Right. 

Quinny 

Like he’s in his 30s now. You know, he looks like he should be Superman. He’s not at school anymore. Yeah. Why is he getting around in a black leather trench coat? 

Dion 

Wait. He was wearing a black leather trim. 

Speaker 

Good. 

Quinny 

Ohh yeah yeah the the for a while there he was in a black leather trench coat for a while. He was in a red leather jacket always with some kind of Superman logo on it. 

Jill 

With an embossed. S was very cool. The jacket was cool. 

Quinny 

I did like the jacket and I. 

Jill 

Yeah, but we we all wanted the costume. 

Quinny 

Kind of wanted one. 

Dion 

Yeah, well, we got it finally in that final episode for the last 12 seconds. 

Speaker 5 

No. 

Jill 

Yeah, you see, for like a millisecond. 

Dion 

Yeah, yeah. And not even filled out correctly. 

Jill 

But you know what? They they did season 11 in comic book form. 

Quinny 

Yeah, they did. 

Jill 

Ohh so you could continue the story and actually see him fighting crime in the outfit. 

Speaker 

Yeah. 

Dion 

No. 

Quinny 

One of one of the greatest cameos, and there there were a lot of cameos. There are a lot of characters who showed up and stuff, but I’d have to say one of the greatest was the character of Doctor Virgil Swan, who showed up only a couple of times and it. Was Christopher Reeve. 

Jill 

That’s right. 

Dion 

Sure, I saw that in the flashback because there were a lot of things that happened in the flashback, like both flashbacks you had like, you know, super like Likens flashback and you had Lex Luther’s flashback. And I was like, oh, there’s lots of explanations to things here and OK, that’s so that there’s Christopher Reeve. Oh, there’s this, this person has turned up that looks like. 

Quinny 

Hmm. 

Dion 

Wonder Woman but is not Wonder Woman. Just those sorts of things. 

Quinny 

Yeah, there was definitely an almost Wonder Woman at one point. Yeah. 

Dion 

But it’s nice to know that, like Jensen Ackles was in there. 

Quinny 

Yes, yes, absolutely. 

Dion 

And also you know, I feel like I didn’t get to experience enough of the characters because it looked like Rosenbaum was having a nice time. 

Jill 

Oh yeah, MVP of the series. 

Dion 

Like he. 

Quinny 

He until he wasn’t. 

Dion 

No, because he came to ******* Frankenstein, so obviously they fridged him at some point and then dragged him back out for the finale. 

Jill 

Yes. 

Quinny 

Ohh no he he. 

Jill 

Left. Yeah, he carried. That show while he was there. 

Quinny 

Yeah, there there are the like, much like Stargate SG-1, where, you know you’ve you’ve finished your main storyline and then they go for another few years. 

Dion 

You mean you mean the adventures of tilt and other people? 

Quinny 

Yeah. Exactly. By the time, like Rosenbaum left at the end of season 7. And then they had three more seasons to try and work out how to have a show without your main villain. 

Dion 

Yeah, they didn’t. They just introduce the daughter. 

Quinny 

His sister. 

Dion 

Sister, daughter, Sister, sister, daughter. 

Quinny 

Yeah, and. And Tess, who was meant to be like Miss Tess Mocha and stuff like that. And. 

Dion 

Yeah. And there was there was John Glover. I saw he, he seems to have been part of that whole thing cause he was in the pilot and then he was at the end. When he was possessed by dark side, so you know story him introduced, you know, yelling at his poor child for being scared in the helicopter land and then and then, you know, finally getting himself had punched into a cloud by Superman. The end. Yeah. 

Jill 

Oh, Lionel, good old Lionel Luther. Oh, my God. 

Dion 

At. After getting shot by. His surrogate daughter. I don’t know. 

Jill 

Because didn’t he get resurrected? He died, Lionel. 

Speaker 2 

MHM. 

Jill 

Died halfway through the. 

Speaker 

Series. 

Jill 

And then so at the. 

Quinny 

That’s. 1. 

Jill 

End he was. He was a resurrected Lionel. 

Quinny 

Yeah, they brought him back in season 8 because they needed. A bad guy? 

Dion 

It feels very they feel very much. They got very, very close to the. You know Mexican, telenovela style of of things where it’s like, ohh, you’ve returned. Yeah, yeah. 

Jill 

Look, Smallville set the bar for CW superhero shows. 

Speaker 

Hey. Right. 

Quinny 

Yeah. Yeah. And also, you know, there were there were some great stuff because Season 8, you know, you introduced Sam Witwer, who you would remember as as. Or whatever your name is from the Star Wars. 

Dion 

Ohh yeah, right. Yeah, yeah. The star killer from the. Yeah, that stuff. Or Darth Maul in the Clone Wars. 

Quinny 

Suck my Internet. Yes, and who? Who was inexplicable doomsday. Why? You don’t know. 

Speaker 

Voice. 

Dion 

No, that was definitely a cloud monster. And some bad sounds like no. 

Jill 

Yeah, that was dark side. That was dark side. 

Dion 

Ohh doomsday. 

Quinny 

No doomsday was actual actual doomsday. Ohh. 

Dion 

Not a guy in a suit. Just the dude. 

Quinny 

It was. It was a. I think he was going a suit. But also dude cause it was that how how do you have a bad guy? He transferred. 

Jill 

Yeah. 

Dion 

Well, I have to say it’s on that. I’m not sure I’m going to go and seek.

Quinny 

Yeah. Will you be watching the rest? 

Dion 

Out. The other 217 episodes of Smallville, I feel like I got a very good understanding of what sort of acting I was watching. 

Speaker 1 

Hi. 

Peta 

I do love that you like I skipped 217 episodes of plot and it was so weird. 

Jill 

Yeah, I didn’t understand what was happening at all. 

Dion 

I was having a hard time following. 

Quinny 

It was so good, yeah. 

Peta 

The prop storytelling. 

Dion 

Dear ABC, I don’t like what is this. Oh dear. Yeah, I feel like it was a cultural touch point that you should have watched at the time and if you had have watched it for the 10 seasons that it was going during that time, you probably would have made a lot more. Out of it. But yeah, I can’t say that anything grabbed me enough so much that I was like, this is gonna be amazing television. 

Quinny 

Yeah. 

Speaker 8 

It’s. 

Jill 

I think by the 10th season I was just kind of watching it just to be a completionist. Because yeah. 

Dion 

Yeah. Do you think do? You think the the the, the the title song somebody saved me was just foreshadowing how the fans felt like. 

Speaker 11 

Oh. 

Dion 

Just let it finish. Some executive please. Believe me. 

Quinny 

Yeah. Like I I’ve I find it funny, like I before Season 10 came out, I wrote a very long piece explaining this is for our old show cool show that explained each of the episodes in each of the seasons that was actually worth watching in terms of like either introducing a called comic book. 

Speaker 5 

Yeah. 

Quinny 

Character or building Superman law, and by the end of it there were about. 50S or something episodes. That. 

Jill 

1/4. 

Quinny 

Yes, you know where you’re like. Ohh well that that one introduced that character or that one had a pretty cool sequence that, you know, gave Superman this superpower or whatever. 

Jill 

Yeah. Well, not a filler. 

Quinny 

My word, I mean this is back in the days of 22 episode seasons. 

Speaker 

It was. 

Jill 

You know, yeah, indicated television. 

Dion 

I miss those days. I love a filler episode. I love a filler episode because like, this is a great thing. Sometimes you don’t have the bandwidth to actually pay attention to things, you just wanna be like. 

Jill 

And you miss all those classic things. Like here’s the body swap episode. And then here’s the time travel episode. And here’s the underground Fight Club episode. 

Speaker 

Yes. 

Quinny 

I’m just gonna sing this. This is my. Louisville Underground Fight Club. 

Dion 

Well, there’s gotta be. There’s 220 opportunities to do on underground Fight Club. 

Quinny 

There we go. Underground, Fight Club Smallville wiki when? Jesus Christ. They either got to season 6 well, see? Yeah, season 9, Oliver Queen hits rock bottom bottom and goes into an underground Fight Club. 

Dion 

Wow. 

Quinny 

And in season 6, it’s episode called Combat, where there’s an Under 1 underground Fight Club, and they fight Alien Warriors. 

Dion 

Wow. 

Quinny 

Season 6 seasons before you got to the underground Fight Club episode is quite impressive. 

Jill 

And to think that they. Pulled out Lois Lane before that. 

Dion 

Look, I I. 

Jill 

Like they couldn’t keep up with just the teenagers at high. School. They’re like we gotta bring Louis into this now. Otherwise we’re gonna lose them. 

Dion 

The some of the. Some of the strengths that I saw early on in that, especially that part of that episode was Martha Kent’s sorry Annetto O’toole’s portrayal of Martha Kent seemed quite funny and witty, with some good lines. 

Jill 

She was great. 

Dion 

So yeah. Yeah. So I got that from the first episode. I was like, she seems. 

Jill 

Yeah. Pinnacle. Pinnacle. 

Quinny 

Seems good. She she was great all the way through it. I also really liked Jonathan Kent until I found out what the guy was like as an actual dude. Yeah, yeah, that was that was an unfortunate thing. 

Dion 

Never meet you here. It’s good. 

Speaker 

And. 

Quinny 

But it probably should have known because he used to drive around in a. Car with a Confederate flag. On the. Roof. 

Speaker 8 

So yeah, ohh yeah. 

Peta 

Dion 

He’s just a. 

Quinny 

That’s right. He was one of the. Good old boys in The Tempest. 

Speaker 8 

He’s just a good old boy. Raising an alien baby. 

Quinny 

Really. 

Dion 

Yeah. So, yeah, hate me for for not actually doing it properly, but at least I watched some of it. So I kind of feel like Peter and I are on the same boat or I’m just holding on to Peter’s boat as she’s sailing away from. At least she tried to watch it. I just sort of did the start, read the first chapter. I read the last chapter and I was like, that book was great. 

Quinny 

I was very excited to hear about your whiplash, though, because I. 

Dion 

Oh yeah, it’s. 

Quinny 

I remember. Like how how far it went back in those ten, yeah. Like, did you read about the bit where Clark and and Lana have super sex? 

Jill 

Yes, but she. Got Kryptonian powers for like an episode. 

Dion 

At the same. 

Quinny 

And they bang so hard that it causes earthquakes. 

Dion 

Which which episode is this one? Check a few things I think I’m OK. I think I’m OK since Kevin Smith’s description of Superman just having sex is like I can’t anyway. Go look at. 

Speaker 

Yeah. 

Dion 

Oh. Oh, my God. Well, I feel I feel like this has been catharsis for our 400th show. We’ve we’ve we’ve made good on our resolutions to watch the things that we should have seen. 

Speaker 8 

Yeah. 

Jill 

It’s going to have to have a list of things for Episode 500 now. 

Dion 

5000 God, 500 joys. And six, 600-7700. That’s right. 

Jill 

No. 

Quinny 

Dion 

500 show the 500 show is coming this Christmas, so we’re just going to have to really crank them out. 

Quinny 

I think we’re going through. 

Jill 

I don’t think you know. I don’t think you can. Count. 

Dion 

No, that’s what I mean. We’re going to just, we’re just going to ramp up the shows. They’re just going to do more shows, you know, 2-3, four times a week, yeah. 

Quinny 

Yeah, we’re just going to start doing. And Thursday nights and. 

Dion

If you do have any kind of you know desire to keep the the train running. Casper does a wonderful job of doing Subs and so forth through Twitch. 

Dion 

Yeah. 

Quinny 

But if you feel like putting money in the cofi, we would appreciate it, because we do still have to pay hosting, which is very boring, right? But we’re very, very much appreciate all. 

Dion 

That’s alright. We’ll we’ll come you. Guys, we’ll come back and we’ll put an actual figure on it to let you know where we are and how we’re doing this. And it’s fine. And we’ll do that. But it’s not much better, keeps the lights on, and we like that.

Jill 

Since it’s stuff we’ve seen in Minecraft, we’ve seen a working man. 

Speaker 

Hmm. 

Quinny

Dion 

Work Working Man working man. 

Quinny 

Mean the working man. 

Speaker 8 

We’re talking about a working. 

Dion

Quinny 

I’m very, very excited to hear your thoughts on. The working man, there’s not many. Didn’t think so. To be honest. Not till next month. 

Dion 

Yeah, there’s there’s not many. There’s there’s not many thoughts on Minecraft. 

Speaker 8 

To that. 

Dion 

You know. Hey, hey. True, true. 

Quinny 

There’s, there’s definite thoughts on Minecraft I’ve I’ve had so many people reach out to me because I’ve posted about seeing Minecraft and all of them were parents going. Am I going to ******* hate? This. 

Dion 

No, actually you’re not, I mean. 

Quinny 

I have to take my children to this. Am I going to? Hate it. 

Dion 

No. You’re not going to all of it. You’re going to be. You’re gonna probably be real happy to. Go. By the time it’s finished, that’s OK, because at least for the first, there’s a few. There’s bits in there where you gonna be like, yeah. 

Quinny 

Yes. Yeah, yeah, that, like, it’s interesting. It’s directed by the guy who directed Napoleon Dynamite. And that comes through very strongly. 

Jill 

They knew they had to make a children’s movie, but they also knew parents would have to take those kids so they catered to both. Audiences. 

Dion 

Yeah. Yes, it’s not like the Angry Birds movie. 

Quinny 

Oh God. Or the emoji movie GIF. 

Jill 

Or. Win a party. 

Quinny 

Oh God. 

Speaker 

Yeah. 

Quinny 

Yeah. 

Speaker 

Yeah. 

Quinny 

Casper say we should put. A copy link in the. 

Speaker 13 

Ohh yeah. 

Quinny 

About. Section. We should do. Yeah, we could probably. 

Jill 

Do that, Freda. Kanga has not watched Napoleon Dynamite, I mean. 

Quinny 

Yeah. Oh my God. OK, actually that’s that’s a good one. What are what’s everybody in the chat or everybody out there? They’re guilty of. 

Speaker 

Yeah. What are you? 

Quinny 

Doing you have one. 

Dion 

Guilty of vision. 

Quinny 

Predicate hasn’t watched. Dynamite. What are the ones that you go out there have not watched and you? Know you should. Because there’s not. 

Speaker 

Exist. 

Dion 

No, no one, no one, no one trolled me with just saying Star Wars because it’ll just make me angry. 

Peta 

They’re always worth it. Oh, miss, he hasn’t seen The Godfather, which, like I respect that. I respect that like the godfather’s, not for everyone, but a part of this. Also not for everyone. Casper, you’re fine. Fine, I understand why Chiquita has not watched Fight Club. Not to her. That’s that’s cool. Umm, no, no, I would not recommend a Cocker calling. Not none of these are that guilty. I’m like. 

Jill 

Neither have I. Oh, also another chocolate orange. No, don’t. 

Peta 

You you those are fine. If these are the worst things you haven’t seen. 

Speaker 

Yeah. 

Peta 

Yeah, copper coins is awful. Oh, yeah, showing a lot of fabric hate this. 

Quinny 

I mean. Orange. Yeah, it’s. 

Jill 

I was like doing a Kubrick Bender like 20 years ago. SBS were doing a series and I’m like, I’m gonna watch all of these movies and I had to turn off Clockwork Orange because. 

Speaker 

Quinny 

It is disgusting. Yeah, it’s. 

Speaker 5 

Yeah. 

Quinny 

It’s a really unpleasant movie with the intent of being unpleasant. 

Jill 

It’s perverse. 

Quinny 

Yeah. 

Dion 

But it does have young George sorry, young Jorel. But Oh no, it doesn’t. It’s not real, no. 

Quinny 

No, no, that’s yeah, it. 

Dion 

Wasn’t turned. Was. Yeah. Sorry I got my. I got my things. I got my things mixed up. There’s a lot of movies and I had all those episodes of Smallville watch and I just filled up the brains. 

Quinny 

Disconnected. 

Speaker 

Hmm. 

Quinny 

Oh well, yes. 

Peta 

I would say if that list in the chat the Godfather is one of those ones where if you do choose to watch it, a lot of references are gonna start making sense. 

Quinny 

Mm-hmm. 

Dion 

Ohh yeah, Casper, don’t get to get too out of the the the departed is based on a Korean gangster film not called the Depart. 

Speaker 

Quinny 

Yes. 

Dion 

It’s. Good. 

Quinny 

Is the is the Korean one called infernal Affairs. 

Dion 

Yeah, internal affairs. And there’s an internal affairs too. 

Quinny 

Yeah. There is, yeah. And they’re very good. Like like that’s that’s the reason it got remade because it’s. 

Dion 

Yeah, really good. Very good. Yeah. By Scorsese. 

Quinny 

Yeah. 

Dion 

Yeah. Who? Just who? Yeah. Jack Nicholson to throw cocaine at people. 

Speaker 5 

OK this. 

Dion 

A film that was a departure, that’s what it’s called the departed. 

Speaker 5 

Hmm yeah. 

Dion 

In Boston. 

Quinny 

I don’t do love the Ducati hasn’t watched Fight Club. 

Peta 

It’s blank. 

Jill 

Very much not a movie that. She would be ever interested in. 

Peta 

No, like I can see how that happened, although like I will say that like young film that Peter really was like very into Fight Club as a concept and a film style. And now I’m kind of like. 

Jill 

Yeah, I also. 

Dion 

But I mean, there’s a difference there. Like you can watch Fight Club and go. I get this. And this is speaks to me and I understand that and there’s people who watch Fight Club and go. Ohh. I see the allegory. 

Jill 

Yeah, the ones that. Love it. Don’t get the meaning. At. 

Dion 

All. 

Quinny 

Yeah, and and many of them have no idea that it was written by a gay man as a parody, and the entire point of it, that it was taking shots at toxic masculinity and not something that you’re actually meant to be aspiring. 

Dion 

To no, we’re supposed to go and start fight clubs and. Hit each other cause that makes masculinity good. 

Quinny 

Oh my God, Casper Casper has never seen Rocky. 

Peta 

And then don’t talk. 

Jill

Quinny 

So the I was sick as a as a kid one day home from school and my parents were like ohh, what do you want? And I was like, can you just get me a video from the shop so I can watch something while on the couch while I’m sick? And I asked for the little shop of horrors. Which is about a.

Quinny 

Why there are so many people in fishnets? 

Dion 

Just the just the opening of Rocky Horror. At the start with the the the red lipstick and the mouth and everything. Just having that monologue I was like.
