24
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,839
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Larger Ner Drunk Collador Podcast, the podcast

25
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 1: that's all about gee things happening in the world around

26
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: us and how excited we are about them. I'm Ariel

27
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: Casting and with me as always is peek Boy Jonathan Strickland.

28
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: I'm the geek Boy. Hey, Ariel, I got a question

29
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: for you. All right, Dariel, You've got all the materials,

30
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: all the skills at your disposal all the time. You

31
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: need to make your dream causeplay. We both have been

32
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: to dragon Con many times. Cosplay is a huge part

33
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: of Dragon Con. What is your dream causeplay? So this

34
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: is this is difficult because I have many of them, um,

35
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: but the one that I have yet to see anybody do.

36
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: So I'm picking this because, like I could say, I

37
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: want to be a realistic Little Mermaid or I want

38
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: to be Jessica Rabbit. Those have always been like high

39
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: on my list of things to play or fem ship

40
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 1: from Mass Effect. But the one that I have yet

41
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,119
Speaker 1: to see anybody do that I would love to love

42
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: to do is a really well is a female version

43
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: of the tick? Oh you know what. I don't think

44
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: I've seen anyone ever play a female version of the

45
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: tick either, And it's an interesting choice. But you know,

46
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: since cause players like to role play their characters oftentimes,

47
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: I just think it would be an awful lot of fun.

48
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: I can very much relate to the Ticks non sequitors.

49
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: Sometimes we would have to see if our our mutual

50
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: friends Sasha would be your Arthur. Oh, that would be amazing. Yeah,

51
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: because you and Sasha whenever you're paired together. I mean

52
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: it's been a while, it has been a while, but

53
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 1: and Sasha has gone on to that. Yeah, and Sasha

54
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: has gone on to do some like phenomenal causplays. Sasha

55
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: is just if you've ever seen that picture by picture

56
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: of tinker Bell next to thorign Oaken shield and it says,

57
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: this is the same person. That's our friend Sasha, whom

58
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: we've known for years. Yeah, yeah, I would love to

59
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: do that with Sasha, but I don't have the skills

60
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: to actually build that costume, nor all the resources in

61
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: the world to do so what would be yours? I

62
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: gave this a lot of thought, and you know, because

63
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: I like playing bad guys, because you know, I'm not

64
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: a bad guy, So it's fun to kind of just

65
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: play pretend. I think I would go Uber bad guy.

66
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: I wanna really cool which King ring Wraith costume from

67
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: Glord of the Rings. Yeah, it would. That's so before

68
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: we started recording, actually, just to peek behind the veil,

69
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: I gave Ariel a bit of a heads up on

70
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: this one because I felt like this particular question is

71
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: one of those where you kind of want to think

72
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: about it. You know, you just get you get that

73
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: one dropped on your lap, and your chances are you're

74
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: going to give an answer and then like twenty minutes later,

75
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna say I hate that answer. So I wanted

76
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: to give her a little time, and I said, yeah,

77
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: this is one of those costumes that if I were

78
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: wearing it at Dragon Con, if I did have the

79
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: ability to put it all together, I would probably be

80
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: stationary because I don't think I would be able to

81
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: see very well in a witch King outfit, and um,

82
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: i'd be worried about walking into people or falling down

83
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: an escalator. Worse yet, falling down an up escalator, which

84
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: means you're just falling forever. It's that would be horrible, horrible,

85
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: you know, I Honestly, I changed my mind like three

86
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: times between the time you gave me time to think

87
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: about it in the time you actually asked me the

88
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: question during recording. But I mean because I've done a

89
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: lot of cosplay, and it tends to be things that

90
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: are easier to do because as much as I love

91
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: sewing and I love costume design, I'm not actually fantastic

92
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: at execution. So all of those I would love to

93
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: reado in a better format. And and lately when I've

94
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: caused played, it's been very closet causeplay things like Street Close,

95
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: Black Widow or Mary Jane on a business day, or

96
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: you know, stuff that doesn't require specific pieces that are

97
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: not normally viable at a story. Yeah, the last causeplay

98
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: I did was Kabuky Mask from Big Hero six, the

99
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: bad guy from Big Hero six. Um. I did that.

100
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: I had the three D accustomed three D printed mask

101
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: for that that that I painted up and put reflective

102
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: lenses inside and everything, So it was it is probably

103
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 1: the most involved one I did. And that one was

104
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: that was off the rack pieces that I just altered

105
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: slightly because if you've seen Big Hero six, you've seen

106
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: that Kabucky Mask wears a bunch of layers, and dragon

107
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: Con happens in August in Georgia. So yeah, but it

108
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: looked good. I got to see it. It looked really good.

109
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: Thank you well. I I hope that we can once

110
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: again indulge in some cosplay and plus just really enjoy

111
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: the incredible work that the cosplay community puts into their pieces.

112
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: It's constantly the highlight of dragon Con for me is

113
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: just seeing the creative costuming, everything from incredibly accurate replicas

114
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: of pieces you've seen in film or television or even

115
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: comic books, up to the crazy, you know, mash ups

116
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: and offshoots that come up a lot of I think

117
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: a lot of the spirit of large Nerdron Collider is

118
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: in those kinds of cosplay. It definitely is. I wonder

119
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: when we get back to conventions with cosplay, dragon Con specifically,

120
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: since that's the one right right outside our door, if

121
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: we're going to get many knives out causplays. Yeah, that's

122
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: an excellent question, because I mean, that's the thing is

123
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: that one of the interesting bits about cosplay is that

124
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: we've seen it branched far beyond the fantasy and science

125
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: fiction and superheroes and horror. It started to go all

126
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: over the place and in all the areas where people have,

127
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: you know, a deep fandom for the thing. And the

128
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: reason you bring out Knives Out is because we've heard

129
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: about yet another addition to the cast. We talked about

130
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: Batista being part of the cast. Now we know that

131
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: Leslie Odom Jr. Is going to be part of the cast.

132
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: He played uh well, He's been in lots of stuff,

133
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: but I think of him as Aaron Burr from Hamilton's

134
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: where he was phenomenal originating that role. I'm going to say,

135
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: if he's the killer, then that's type casting and not fair.

136
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: Maybe he accidentally shoots the victim or something. But yeah,

137
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: we also know that Edward Norton is in the cast,

138
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: as is Katherine han Um. So I mean, I don't know,

139
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: it could have been Yeah, I think it might be

140
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: Kevin han because it was Agatha all along. So really,

141
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: what you're saying is you expect Knives Out to to

142
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: be Aaron Burr, the Hulk, Agatha from from One Division

143
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: and James Bond and James Bond, Daniel Craig all in

144
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: a room together. Yes. No, I'm just I'm just in

145
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: Drax and I'm trying to figure out which Janelle Monet

146
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: character I want to select for this. Yeah, so it's

147
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: not gonna be individual characters. It's going to be all

148
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: the other characters they've played, yes, exactly. Also, it'll turn

149
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: out to be kind of like Clue, where everyone ends

150
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: up being a killer. Oh spoiler for Clue in case

151
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: you haven't seen that movie. Jonathan came out in the

152
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: early eighties. I think I think the Statute of Limitations

153
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: is done. I've watched it like a thousand times. But

154
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: I was going to say that you're making me redo

155
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: my evening plans, but that's not true at all. Well,

156
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: and I have to say I'm really excited about Knives

157
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: Out too. I very much enjoyed the first film. I

158
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: was late to seeing the first movie. I knew that

159
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: it was. There was a huge amount of buzz around

160
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: it already by the time I saw it, so I

161
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: didn't I was not on that that first like boat

162
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: of folks who saw it. I was so lucky that

163
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: no one spoiled it for me, so I got to

164
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: go into it and enjoy the mystery for what it was.

165
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: Although I maintain that if you do watch Knives Out,

166
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: if you haven't seen it before, I maintained that I'm

167
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure most people are going to suss out

168
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: who the killer is pretty pretty early on. But it

169
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: was still a very entertaining film. Yes, and from a

170
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: storytelling standpoint and an artistic standpoint, there are so many

171
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: little clues enhanced that they put in throughout that's just

172
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: really fantastic. Um, Jonathan, I'm actually going to be a

173
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: bit of a book and I'm going to change our

174
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: show order after we decided it because I realized that

175
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: if we're talking about Knives Out, which is a murder mystery,

176
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: we should then talk about our other true crime murder story. Now,

177
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: Dear Evan Hanson, got it. I'm sorry, that's what we

178
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 1: were supposed to talk about. Okay, Right, so you're you're

179
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: talking about the the Steve Martin and Martin Short series

180
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: that is coming out on Hulu. Yes, it's called Only

181
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: Murders in the Building, which took me a bit because

182
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: that's not really a name that like rolls off the

183
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: tongue or makes a whole lot of sense. But it's

184
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: Steve Martin, Martin Short, Amy Ryan and Selena Gomez and

185
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: they are true crime podcast fans who then decide to

186
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: solve true crime. Yes, a murderer, or at least a

187
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: death happens in the apartment building where they all live.

188
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: They're all strangers to one another except for the fact

189
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 1: that they all happened to share this love of true

190
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: crime podcasts, and a death happens in their building, and

191
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: collectively they decide that they want to investigate it because

192
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: they all suspect that the death was in fact a

193
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 1: murder um and they want to put the skills they

194
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: have learned by listening to true crime podcasts to the test. Ariel,

195
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you this to me is kind of

196
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: my nightmare. I've thought it might be, uh, just just

197
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: because I know that you have feels on true crime

198
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: pod I do. I'm a I'm a podcast producer who

199
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: works for a company that produces more than a few

200
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: true crime podcasts. And the thought of fans taken it

201
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: upon themselves to try and solve crime because of their

202
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: received expertise because they listen to a lot of true

203
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: crime shows fills me with a terror that is difficult

204
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: to put into words. I mean, I totally get in

205
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 1: that being said. The trailer is so adorable, like so

206
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: Steve Steve Martin and Martin Short. Oftentimes they're both comedic,

207
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: comedically brilliant in many ways, but a lot of times,

208
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: especially like when they rehash old characters on S and

209
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: L or whatnot, they're so over the top. To me,

210
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: they're just very very large, and so I was worried

211
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: that watching this trailer they would both be very very large. Um,

212
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: and they're they're big, but they're not unbearably big. And

213
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: then you've got Selina Gomez coming in is just this

214
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 1: straight man like, very wry sort of personality that balanced

215
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: it out really well in the trailer. I didn't expect to.

216
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: I had to watch the trailer, but I didn't expect

217
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: to want to watch the show. Now, I I agree

218
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: with you, Like you know, when I think of Steve

219
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: Martin and Martin Short together, my thoughts immediately go to

220
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: the Three Amigos, um but which is great, fantastic, I

221
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: love it. But yeah, as you say, like the performances

222
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: in that film are not at all subtle. They're not

223
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: supposed to be. That's not the kind of movie it is.

224
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: We By the way, fun fact, if you go back

225
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: through our old YouTube videos, there's one of our YouTube

226
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: videos where we heavily reference the Three Amigos when we

227
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: talk about the seven Sons of the Seven Samurai. But yeah,

228
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: like I'm the same way. I wasn't sure what to expect,

229
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 1: but everyone, like Steve Martin, especially in the past few years,

230
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: has turned in some performances that are much more nuanced

231
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: and subtle. Like he's not the wild and crazy guy

232
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: at the seventies or the zany comedy guy of the eighties. Uh.

233
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: He still has that incredible since the humor, but it's

234
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: channeled in a different way now. Yeah. Yeah, I would

235
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: definitely say that he's the more my old of the

236
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: two h Martin's Yes, the Steve Martin short, Yes, Steve

237
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: Martin short Martin Steve Martin Short. Okay, So speaking of

238
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: nuanced performances, Yeah, this is gonna be a fun conversation

239
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: We're about to get into here. Um yeah, we wanted it,

240
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: so we do. Do want to talk about Dear Evan

241
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: Hanson because the trailer for the movie adaptation of the

242
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: Broadway show launched the day we're recording this, which is

243
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: one and it surprised me because despite the fact that

244
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: I'm on a show where we cover entertainment news, I

245
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: wasn't aware that there was a musical version of this

246
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: coming out, Like I had heard that it was happening,

247
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: but it completely fell off my radar because it was

248
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: just the beginning stages last I personally picked up on it. Well.

249
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: It surprised me also that you know, they actually cast

250
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: the actor who played the character of Evan Hanson in

251
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: the Broadway stage show as that character in the film, which,

252
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: on one hand, is a neat thing because you very

253
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: rarely see that, right. We usually see Hollywood actors who

254
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: end up getting cast in these roles and maybe, if

255
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: you're lucky, they can sing. But in this case, we're

256
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: seeing the actual person who originated the part on Broadway

257
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: doing the role on the screen. That doesn't always work out.

258
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: Rent was a disaster, but um, but we're hopeful on

259
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: this one. However, it does bring up an issue that

260
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: the Internet has more than jumped all over Yeah, which

261
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: is the fact that Ben Platt is which you know,

262
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: it's not always an issue in Hollywood. They are constantly

263
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: people being in their Yeah, and we should point out

264
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: Evan Hanson. Dear. Evan Hanson's is a story that's set

265
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: in like mostly in a high school with the main

266
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: character feeling like an outcast at that high school, and

267
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: he has a couple of encounters with a similar outcast

268
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: in that school, and it appears that the two of

269
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: them from the outside like people who are just casually looking.

270
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: It looks like the two of them formed a friendship.

271
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: Then this other person, Connor, takes his own life, and

272
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: that appearance of a friendship becomes uh kind of a

273
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: lie that people just start to believe, and Evan is

274
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: sort of wrapped up in it. Um. The story gets

275
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: much more complicated from there, but the point being that

276
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: you've got an actor in his late twenties playing a teenager,

277
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: and a lot of people started sharing memes, especially of

278
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: the Steve Boussimmi like you know what's up, young people,

279
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: fellow young people that kind of meme as a joke

280
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: about being Evan Hansen. All of the kids are in

281
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: their twenties, so a Lana Back, Zoe Murphy, Connor Murphy,

282
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: Jared Klein. They're all in their twenties between twenty two

283
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: and twenty six. So Ben Platt playing Evan Hanson is

284
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: not so far off, but he looks way older than

285
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: that he does, and so I feel weird about this areal.

286
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: And the reason why is because every film depends upon

287
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: a suspension of disbelief. Right, you have to suspend disbelief

288
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: because you know, this is a movie. People showed up

289
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: to set, there was catering, there were lights, there were

290
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: crew that are not in view if the movie is

291
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: done properly, like I like, like, you know, it's all artifice,

292
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: so you already have to buy into it. Now it

293
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: is asking you more to buy into it. When an

294
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: actor is the wrong age to play a character quote

295
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: unquote wrong age, it's a little easier, I would argue, uh,

296
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: when you go to see a stage production, because then

297
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: you're having to suspend your disbelief even more because you

298
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: can just look around and see that you know, you're

299
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: not really you know wherever um. But I also like

300
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: I get it where like you know, you're you're you're

301
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: feeling a disconnect between the uh, the appearance of an

302
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: actor and the supposed age of the character they're playing.

303
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: But there are a lot of shows out there that

304
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: have adults playing children and that's part of the show,

305
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: Like like the annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, is that

306
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: way You're a good man, Charlie Brown is that way.

307
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: So I guess it just depends on intent and the

308
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: way it's portrayed. But I'm not feeling a mental block here,

309
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: I guess, is what I'm saying. Me neither. So like

310
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: if you look at the movie Eighth Grade, where they

311
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: used actual eighth graders, if they had used high schoolers

312
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: and then put Ben Platt into that environment, I would

313
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: have felt real creepy about that. But because they've cast

314
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: everyone older, you know, you can kind of just age

315
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: up in your brain. I know that as I get older,

316
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: and I'm not old by any means, but as I

317
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 1: get older, all of a sudden, people my age look

318
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: younger to me so well, and and I think about

319
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: things like you know, like you said, it's not a

320
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: new thing to cast adults as teenagers. Like the television

321
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, every single one of the

322
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: principal actors, we're playing characters several years younger than themselves,

323
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: sometimes like a decade younger than themselves. So it's not

324
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: an unusual thing. Um, I do get like the initial

325
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: knee jerk reaction, It's not a big deal to me.

326
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: I can get past it. Also, Like I think part

327
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: of It's also that I kind of wanted to see

328
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: Dear Evan Hansen when it was originally running on Broadway.

329
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: But it's one of those things where like it's tough

330
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: to see a show with its original cast. I mean,

331
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: there's it's just it's an exclusive thing, right, So this

332
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: is a chance to see the the guy who originated

333
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: the part do it again. And when else am I

334
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: going to get a chance to see that? I agree?

335
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,479
Speaker 1: You know, I think I was going to say they

336
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: could have done it because you run into work issues

337
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 1: like how much time a kid can be on set

338
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: if they're under eighteen. But I really think they It

339
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: is so that people could see then Platt as Evan Hanson,

340
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: which you know, when I listened to the soundtrack, that's

341
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: who I love singing it. So I'm also quite excited.

342
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not having any hang ups. So he does

343
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: look a little old to me, but I yeah, no,

344
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree. Well, you know what, Ariel, I

345
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: think what we should do is take a break and

346
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: when we come back, we'll talk a little bit about

347
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: some interesting mergers that are coming up, and then segue

348
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: into some situational comedic conversation. Still living in and manually

349
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,399

Speaker 1: Listen to Before Breakfast wherever you get your podcasts. Hey,

367
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: this is Paris Hilton. Last year I revealed the story

368
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: of my abuse at Provo Canyon School. Since then, thousands

369
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: of survivors have come forward. Now I'm on a mission

370
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: to expose the truth of the entire industry, and this

371
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: weekly investigative podcast me and my host Rebecca Mellinger and

372
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: Caroline Cole examined one infamous team treatment facility each season.

373
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: First up, Provo Canyon School. This one is personal. When

374
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: you first get there, you have to experience girls screaming,

375
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: locked up, peeing themselves in the hallway, sleeping, and you're like,

376
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: where am I, Holy hack, this is not what I expected.

377
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: Listen to Trapped and Treatment on the I Heart Radio app,

378
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast, Okay, Ariel.

379
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: So there are a couple of stories here that get

380
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 1: into the realm of one of the other shows. We

381
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: used to do Business on the Brink, where we would

382
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: talk about like some big, big, big moments in business

383
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: history that either led to incredible success or monumental failure.

384
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: And we've got a couple of stories that could be

385
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: like a turning point um And one of them is

386
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: that Amazon is rumored to be on the prowl to

387
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: pick up MGM, the one of the oldest movie production

388
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: companies ever, which has had numerous financial difficulties throughout its

389
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: very long history. M hmm, yeah, which, you know, I

390
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: get it. The The interesting thing to me is along

391
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 1: with MGM comes things like getting the movie Fargo, but

392
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: the Fargo television show is on Hulu, which is owned

393
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: by Disney. But they get like the James Bond series

394
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 1: that's got to be worth something, Hobbit, Rocky rebotop. I'm

395
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: just reading through the list here, Get Shorty, which it's

396
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: probably not a show a movie that like half our

397
00:23:55,600 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: audience has ever seen, but I saw it in the theater. Yeah,

398
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: so yeah, it's It's really interesting. Um because as these

399
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: big mergers happened, they kind of start overlapping in my brain.

400
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: But at the same time, like I so, it feels

401
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: a bit incestuous, and I get I have a hard

402
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: time keeping them all straight. But at the same time,

403
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, merge because I already have Amazon Prime,

404
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: so I'll just open up my options for When I

405
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: think of MGM areal, the two things that come to

406
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: my mind are the original name for Disney Hollywood Studios,

407
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 1: Disney's MGM Studios, Yes, which I still call it that

408
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,719
Speaker 1: so do I. Which I'm sure it irritates cast members

409
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: like crazy, but you know that it was burned into

410
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: my brain as a kid. But the other thing is

411
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: one of the greatest movies of all time. And I'm

412
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: not this isn't me being like flippant, but Wizard of

413
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: Oz was an MGM film like that is that is

414
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: truly an iconic move. So it's interesting, Like I think,

415
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: I look at MGM as a business and I think, yeah,

416
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: that that's a company that's really that's really struggling. I mean,

417
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: we would call it a business on the brink. And um,

418
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: it's only companies, like massive companies like Amazon that would

419
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: be able to come in and potentially scoop up those

420
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: assets and maybe make something out of it. You know,

421
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: you wouldn't expect Amazon to just you know, liquidate everything.

422
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: They would do something with it. What they would do

423
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 1: with it is another question. But you alluded to the

424
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: fact that it's hard to keep these things straight. It's

425
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 1: not getting any easier because this is not the only

426
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: merger story we have. No Warner Media is apparently being

427
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 1: sold by A T and T and getting picked up

428
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: by Discovery, which hurts my head a little. Me too.

429
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: I used to work for Discovery, so it hurts my

430
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: head too. Um yeah, so A T and d is

431
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 1: looking to spin off Warner Media and have it merge

432
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: with Discovery, which is all sorts of strange to me.

433
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: I mean, in some ways, I think it's a good

434
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: thing because a T and D is you know, a

435
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: telecommunications company, so they're in charge of making sure the

436
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,239
Speaker 1: connections exist between different entities, and then Warner Media as

437
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: a content company, and I don't really like it when

438
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: content and delivery are merged together. It's why I really

439
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: don't care for the the Comcast NBCUniversal massive conglomerate, I find,

440
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 1: because that that's the kind of stuff that ends up

441
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 1: threatening things like net neutrality. So I'm not a big

442
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: fan of it. But yeah, so the part about them

443
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 1: spending off Warner Media in order to focus solely on

444
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: telecommunications and have Warner Media focused solely on content, that

445
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: part was easy for me to understand. It's the merger

446
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: with Discovery that I also find like, that's the one

447
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: where I had the big question mark pop up over

448
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 1: my head. I you know, I wonder if Discovery was

449
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 1: on board to get it, because like, so they've got

450
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: Discovery Plus right, and a lot of their content is

451
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: now on there, a lot of the shows that people

452
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: like to watch, you know, like Dr Pimple Popper or

453
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: fix Er Upp or things like that. A lot of

454
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: those shows are now on Discovery Plus because they want

455
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: people buying their their streaming service, but there are just

456
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: too many of them, So I wonder if that's a

457
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: way for them to still maintain a streaming service, not

458
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 1: admit defeat because I don't know what their numbers are,

459
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 1: you know, um, but then roll it in under like

460
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: HBO Max HBO Max because which is also hard because

461
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: I get my HBO Max through Hulu, which is owned

462
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: by Disney. Yeah. No, it's it's. I thought the cable

463
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: business was of confusing mishmash, but it was you know,

464
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: streamlined and simple compared to the online streaming world that

465
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: we're in today. Um, yeah, it's it's also it blows

466
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: my mind to think that if things had been a

467
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: little different, I could count Batman as my coworker. That

468
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: that is a pretty cool thought, John. But I haven't

469
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: worked for Discovery for a few years now. Discovery spun

470
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: off How Stuff Works several years ago, or actually sold

471
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 1: off How Stuff Works several years ago, which then went

472
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 1: through a whole series of things. And I don't even

473
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: work for how stuff works anymore. Been in the same

474
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 1: job for fourteen years. It's the bosses that keep changing. Yeah,

475
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 1: but you you are constant. Yeah, like steadfast born in

476
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: the side, Yes, but steadfast pillars. Speaking of pillars, one

477
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: of the pillars of comedy, one of the pillars of entertainment. Listen,

478
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: I'm I'm grasping at any straw that i can see.

479
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,719
Speaker 1: But one of the pillars of entertainment, particularly in places

480
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: like the UK and America, is the sitcom or situational

481
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: comm Now, Ariel, what was it that that made you

482
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:08,719
Speaker 1: want to talk about sitcoms today? Uh? Yeah, So sadly

483
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: it looks like we won't have much time to talk

484
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: about it, so this conversation might lead into another week.

485
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: But ABC released trailers for a bunch of its fall lineup,

486
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: and there was there was a drama called Queens, and

487
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: then three sitcoms, one of which we knew about, The

488
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: Wonder Years, which is a remake and it's starring Delay Hill,

489
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: which I love Delay Hill, so I'll watch anything he's

490
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: in um and then Abbott Elementary which is about a school,

491
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: and then Maggie, which is a comedy about a psychic

492
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,719
Speaker 1: and I pulled up the article to watch the trailer

493
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: about Wonder Years because I loved the original and I'm

494
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: very excited about this remake. I love I love how

495
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: certain certain comedy, certain situational things are and sometimes hate

496
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: to our are a part of the basic human conditions.

497
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: So no matter when you look at them throughout your history,

498
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: that they remain relevant. You know, there are some some

499
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,959
Speaker 1: things that remain relevant that I wish wouldn't, for instance,

500
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: when they redid All in the Family and Jeffers since

501
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: there's certain social topics that I wish we're not still

502
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: relevant that sadly are. But you know, a lot of comedy,

503
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: a lot of family those the particulars might change, but

504
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: the overall feeling of them stays the same. And so

505
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: you can make remake something like Wonder Years, have it

506
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: been new and have it still hit all of the

507
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: same old fields, which is what I'm hoping for. There

508
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: are certain sitcoms and certain shows that I think fall

509
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: into the comedy range. They maybe don't fall into the

510
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: classic sitcom category like I wouldn't. I wouldn't think Wonder

511
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: Years falls into sitcom, but it is more comedic than

512
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: anything else. It's more of a kind of a drama

513
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: series in a way. Um situations like like Doogie Howser

514
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: is another one. That's another one that has the remake, right,

515
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: so uh full House, you know, full House is like,

516
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna have so much more to talk about with

517
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: full House in a minute. It had a sequel, Fuller House. Yeah,

518
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: but but yeah, there are other there other like sitcoms

519
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: I think of from my childhood. Now. I grew up

520
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: in the seventies and eighties, so a lot of the

521
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: sitcoms I remember are not good. Some of them are

522
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: like Golden Girls, pretty good sitcom. Designing Women was frequently

523
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: a pretty good sitcom. Um, but there are others that,

524
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: you know, we're varying degrees of corny or just uh,

525
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: you know, not not particularly relevant, Like I don't know

526
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: Perfect Strangers, not not so much. I love Perfect I

527
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: did at the time, but I have things to say

528
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: about that that I'll tell you off Mike. Yeah, well

529
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: I did rewatch it recently. It doesn't quite hold up

530
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: as well as or like here's here's an example of

531
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: one that totally like would not fly today for good reason,

532
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: Bosom Buddies that would not fly. So if you don't

533
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: know what Bosom Buddy says. It was a Tom Hanks

534
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: was in it. It was a a comedy in which

535
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: a couple of guys dressed in drag in order to

536
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: be able to live in a um housing area that

537
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: only would allow women. And um, yeah, so you had

538
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: a lot of jokes about men dressed up as women

539
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: and that just would not like that. That humor doesn't

540
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: work today at all. Um. I arguably it didn't work

541
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: so great then either, But you know, you get by

542
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: a long way on Tom Hanks's charm. Um. But yeah,

543
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: it's interesting. So are there any Are there any sitcoms

544
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: that you can think of that you would love to

545
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: see a reboot of that you think could I mean,

546
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: we know we're getting some like Punky Brewster. It's another

547
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: one that's coming back. But see the reboot of Punky Brewster. Again,

548
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: it's not a reboot, it's a sequel. Um. It feels

549
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: like it's banking heavily on this algia, which is not

550
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: always a bad thing, but um, it felt it felt

551
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: a little too force for me. You know, I talked

552
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: about this in a previous episode, But I would love

553
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: to see Family Matters reboot. Um, I don't know if

554
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: they could, Like, I don't know if anybody could replace

555
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: Julia White and Steve Urkel, and now that geek is

556
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: being a geek is so much more mainstream. I don't

557
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: know how it would play, Um, but I'd be interested

558
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: to see it. Um Yeah, Perfect Strangers, although I can

559
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 1: guarantee that's probably because I haven't watched most of it

560
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: in a long time. Um. That one's tricky because so

561
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: much of the humor is all about fish out of water,

562
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: and the the exaggeration of foreign nous makes it hard

563
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: to do in a way that doesn't feel like it's

564
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: playing upon almost racist stereotypes. Yeah. Yeah, but like I've

565
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: been really I've been watching through Blackish, which actually just

566
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: got announced it's going to be in its final season.

567
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it's already in or if it's

568
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: going to be, but they did a take on Good

569
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: Times in one of their episodes, and so I feel like,

570
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: I feel like sometimes you can rebooted concept without having

571
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: to do an exact reboot of a show. I think

572
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: black is just a great example. I really enjoy that. Um.

573
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: You know, Abbott Elementary. I'm sure there have been other

574
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: sitcoms about Elementary schools that that it's a reboot of

575
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 1: maybe like Saved by the Bell, although it's more focused

576
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 1: on teachers. But well, I'll tell you which one. What

577
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: classic sitcom from my childhood I want to see rebooted? Sure,

578
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: I bet you can tell already. This is going to

579
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 1: be a flippant answer. Silver Spoons, I know I've seen it,

580
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: but I don't remember. Here we are face to face

581
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: a couple of silver Spoons, hoping to find we're two

582
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: of a kind, making a go, making it grow together.

583
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 1: We're gonna find a way. Um yeah, no, So Silver

584
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 1: Spoons had had Rick then Ricky Schroeder as a a

585
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: very serious young man coming to live with his father

586
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 1: who is essentially a man child who's extremely wealthy. And

587
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: it's kind of like the story of the father who

588
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: is largely irresponsible and and living in a state of

589
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: arrested development bringing the child out of his son and

590
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: his son kind of encouraging the dad to be more um,

591
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: you know, responsible and mature. But that's like from a

592
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: very high level on an episode by episode basis, it

593
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: was just an excuse for goofy things to happen by

594
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: wealthy people. Okay, I mean, but can you imagine Let's

595
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 1: let's say let's say like the dad is obsessed with Instagram,

596
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: like he's obsessed with being an Instagram influencer, and the

597
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,280
Speaker 1: kid it is like a much more kind of focused

598
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 1: kind of person. Like you could you could easily update

599
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 1: that concept to today and it would still work, isn't

600
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: it kind of like Young Sheldon at that point. I've

601
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: never watched Young Sheldon, so it's very possible. Uh So

602
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 1: I've got it. I've got the perfect sitcom to reboot.

603
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 1: What's that? I knew you're gonna say alf. I knew

604
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna say alf. I mean, just think about like

605
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: it was funny. It was a little a reference, which

606
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 1: we know you like because you like always sending a

607
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: Philadelphia I don't I sometimes do um, you know, but

608
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 1: it could be done on such a higher level now.

609
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: I think what you do is you do a new

610
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: version of alf same puppet, so you don't update the

611
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: puppet at all. And in this version of alf everyone

612
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: else in the family is aware that Alfh is a

613
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: puppet and can see the puppeteer, but they they're scared

614
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: for their lives of the puppeteer, and so they humor

615
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: the puppeteer and treat Alf as if he is in

616
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: fact an alien. I want to watch that so very well.

617
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: You know, I'm all about taking things from our past

618
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 1: and turning them dark, which is a great way for

619
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: us to tease what's going to happen after we come

620
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: back from the break with our mashup. What grows in

621
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: the forest trees? Sure no one else grows in the forest.

622
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: Our imagination, our sense of wonder, and our family bonds

623
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:53,720
Speaker 1: grow too, because when we disconnect from this and connect

624
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: with this, we reconnect with each other. The forest is

625
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: closer than you think. Fine the forest near you and

626
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,800

629
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 1: of a forest. It's a storybook world for them. You

630
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: look and see a tree. They see the wrinkled face

631
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: of a wizard with arms outstretched to the sky. They

632
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,439
Speaker 1: see treasuring pebbles, They see a windy path that could

633
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: lead to adventure, and they see you. They're fearless. Guide.

637
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 1: Have you ever felt depressed about work only to have

638
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: your dad be like, why you're so down? So you

639
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,359
Speaker 1: told him you hate your job, and he said, well,

640
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,720
Speaker 1: you better talk yourself out of it. And then you thought, hmm,

641
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: I love to talk. I could host a podcast. And

642
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 1: then you went to Speaker from my Heart and started

643
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: a podcast and got good at it, then monetize it,

644
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: then quit your boring job and told your dad thanks

645
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: for the advice. And he was like, well, that's not

646
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: what I mean, and I don't understand what a podcast is,

647
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: but you seem happy. That's great, kiddo. You ever do that? Well,

648
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: you could at spreaker dot com. That's spr e A

649
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: k E R. Ask your dad. You actually don't. Okay,

650
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: ariel uh. Let's talk for a second now that we're back,

651
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,720
Speaker 1: Let's talk for a second about monsters at work, because

652
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: that serves as one of the two inspirational points for

653
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 1: our mesh up today. Yeah. So the first inspirational point

654
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 1: is full House um or fuller House in Jonathan's case,

655
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 1: because we are inspired by sitcoms. But there was also

656
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: news that Disney Plus is making a Monsters at Work

657
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: TV show that is a sequel to Monsters, Inc. And

658
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: I guess by that account, Monsters University, Monsters You, that's

659
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: a prequel. It's fantastic by the way, I mean it's

660
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: it's unnecessary. It's totally unnecessary. It's a prequel that doesn't

661
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,760
Speaker 1: need to exist, but it is. It is legitimately entertaining

662
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: and adorable. Mm hm, well, so is Monsters Inc. And

663
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: so I therefore think that Monsters at Work will also

664
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:13,399
Speaker 1: be adorable. Uh. But you know, when I was looking

665
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: at I'm like, okay, sitcoms full House just is ripe

666
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: for mashup. Yeah. Uh, And I don't know why. It's

667
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: just like there was no question in my mind that

668
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: we needed to mash it up with Monsters Inc. Unfortunately,

669
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: I think both of our mashups got a little bit

670
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: more adult than maybe initially anticipated going into it. Yeah,

671
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: and by adult you mean dark and or disturbing and

672
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: or bleak. I mean mine's not super dark or disturbing.

673
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: It has a moment, but so does Full House. Like

674
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: both full House and Fuller House start on a sad

675
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: note and then get happy. So that's where mine is

676
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: since yours is apparently soul crushed, really depressing, I'm gonna

677
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,720
Speaker 1: let you go first this time, Okay, all right, well,

678
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,240
Speaker 1: um so yes, I did set Mine in the world

679
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: of Fuller House. So for those who are not you know,

680
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: havn't ever watched it, first of all, thank you're lucky stars.

681
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: But it is a sequel to Full House in which

682
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: the character of Dj Tanner, one of the daughters of

683
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: the the in the original Full House season. She's a

684
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: grown woman. She's as the series opens, she has recently

685
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 1: lost her husband. She has three kids. Her younger sister,

686
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: Stephanie comes to live with her, as does her childhood

687
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 1: friend Kimmy Gibbler, and they all are working together to

688
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: try and you know, look after the kids and just

689
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 1: make it in a world that's tough and etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

690
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 1: So um Mine is set in the world of Fuller House,

691
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,839
Speaker 1: um and the world of monsters in so here we go.

692
00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: DJ Tanner has a problem. She's a widow and they're

693
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: with three children, who now also has her younger sister,

694
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: Stephanie living in her house. And there's Kimmy Gibbler, who,

695
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: for reasons I'm only vaguely aware of, has also moved

696
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:14,320
Speaker 1: into the Tanner family home with her own daughter. Anyway,

697
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: the real problem DJ has isn't with all of this.

698
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 1: It's that there's a monster under her bed. Not that

699
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 1: DJ knows this though, but the monster is lurking quietly,

700
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 1: just hiding there, because, as it turns out, the Tanner

701
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 1: home is the secret to Monstropolis's energy crisis. Cut to

702
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 1: title fuller Monsters Flash Monstropolis. The city has grown exponentially

703
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 1: since the events of Monsters Inc. Becoming a mega metropolis

704
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 1: that covers most of the Monster World buildings more than

705
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:57,720
Speaker 1: a hundred stories tall tower in the incredibly dense hacked

706
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,320
Speaker 1: urban area. Though occasionally huge monsters do give the buildings

707
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 1: a run for their money, and the monsters on the

708
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: laft floor at the Monster's Ink Factory are close to

709
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: burning out. Even with the incredible juice supplied by laughter,

710
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: which is orders of magnitude greater than screams, they are

711
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: running dangerously close to not meeting the energy needs of

712
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: the growing city. The Monster World is on the precipice

713
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: of a true crisis. That is, until Mike Wazowski, already

714
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: a legend, tries a door that hasn't ever been opened.

715
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: That door leads to the Tanner Home in San Francisco.

716
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: It was always there, ready to be used, but for

717
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 1: whatever reason, simply was never picked. Wazowski goes through a

718
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: process of trying lots of doors in quick succession, trying

719
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,760
Speaker 1: to find a solution to his growing problem. Just as

720
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,240
Speaker 1: he's about to give up, he sneaks into the Tanner

721
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: home and Wazowski slips under DJ's bed on a reconnaissance mission,

722
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: and there he discovers something phenomenal. Laughter and endless supply

723
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:09,839
Speaker 1: of laughter. Not from the Tanner family or their surrounding

724
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 1: sphere of weirdo friends. No, it's from some other source,

725
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 1: some source that the Tanners seem unaware of. But Wazowski

726
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:27,240
Speaker 1: hears it loud and clear. Whenever anyone says anything, even

727
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 1: if it doesn't remotely resemble a joke, there's laughter, lots

728
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 1: of it. Wazowski can collect enough power in half an

729
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: hour to power all of Monstropolis for a week, and

730
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 1: so Wazowski makes his way into the Tanner Home on

731
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 1: a regular basis. He doesn't even have to do anything

732
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: at all. Sometimes a guy will just say have mercy

733
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,399
Speaker 1: in a way that you know, you can tell it's

734
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,800
Speaker 1: a reference to something, but there's not really any oof

735
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:00,800
Speaker 1: behind it anymore. But for some reason, the unse audience

736
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 1: laughs at it, or Stephanie will say how rude and

737
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: boom laughter, or heck DJ will say, oh, my lantern,

738
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 1: there's a ridiculous amount of laughter. Monstropolis's energy problems are solved,

739
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 1: but there's a cost. Day after day was Zowski sits

740
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: under that bed, doing nothing but just being there to

741
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: help harvest the energy from the studio audience laughter. He

742
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 1: becomes despondent. He the great Mike Wazowski, the monster known

743
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: for doing anything for the sake of a laugh, the

744
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: master of gags and jokes. He was being overshadowed by

745
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: meaningless quotes and the occasional terrible musical number. He had

746
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: put so much work into his craft, creating a real

747
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: approach to comedy that would elicit after. But here was

748
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 1: this weird family and even weirder friends who were making

749
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: it all happen without even trying. Hack at a little

750
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,919
Speaker 1: like no one was even willing to try, and why

751
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 1: would they There was no need to try. The laughs

752
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: would come even without the effort. Day after day, was

753
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 1: Zowski slips further into a deep depression, even as he

754
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:27,839
Speaker 1: is surrounded by laughter. At home, people treat him as

755
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: a hero. Monstropolis continues to grow unabated. It gets larger

756
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,320
Speaker 1: and more dense and more hungry for energy, and was

757
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: Zowski supplies it. But every day another little part of

758
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:44,959
Speaker 1: him dies inside. Every day he hides under that bed,

759
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 1: not even paying attention to what's going on in the

760
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:51,399
Speaker 1: house anymore. The laughs come one way or another, and

761
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 1: nothing was Zowski does has any effect on it. He's

762
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:59,720
Speaker 1: just there to channel the energy back home, slipping deeper

763
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: into depression and on we the world appears to be

764
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 1: black and white for Mike Wazowski. Laughter has lost all meaning.

765
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:11,439
Speaker 1: There's no difference between a joke and a reference. There's

766
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:14,720
Speaker 1: no difference between a reference and just a random line

767
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: of dialogue between two people. It all brings in the same,

768
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: almost robotic laughter. Flash forward ten years. Monstropolis is a

769
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 1: nightmare city. You can't even see the sun. The buildings

770
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: stretch up so high and block out the light. The

771
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:37,320
Speaker 1: streets are lit with garish neon and bright incandescent bulbs.

772
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 1: Loud music spills out from buildings onto the streets. Monsters

773
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 1: are all on their phones and computers and other energy

774
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:48,800
Speaker 1: hungry devices. There's a new craze in the monster world,

775
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: crypto zoology currency, which Wazowski doesn't really understand, but he

776
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,359
Speaker 1: does know it requires a huge amount of energy to work.

777
00:47:56,719 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 1: Wazowski himself is a shell of who he wants us.

778
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: His colleagues have all retired. Why work at the monster

779
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 1: in factory anyway? Was Wazowski is collecting more energy than

780
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 1: anyone needs. Wazowski's own fame has faded from the minds

781
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 1: of the monsters. He's taken for granted and the backs

782
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: of their minds. The monsters know that without Wazowski's work

783
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:24,879
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have their energy, but it's just a given now. Wazowski,

784
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 1: now a sickly shade of his once vibrant green, puts

785
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: his hand on the door knob to the Tanner home.

786
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:39,359
Speaker 1: He closes his one eye in despair. A single tear

787
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:44,800
Speaker 1: runs down the left side of his eye. He pauses

788
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:49,720
Speaker 1: for a moment, staring at his hand on that door knob.

789
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: We see a close up of that hand. It begins

790
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: to move, but is it turning the knob or letting go?

791
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: We'd oh no. The screen goes black and we cut

792
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 1: to the credit directed by Lars von Trier. The end, Wow,

793
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 1: I told you, I told you was bleak. It is

794
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 1: bleak um and oddly a lot closer to my mashup

795
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:25,360
Speaker 1: than I thought it was gonna be okay. So I

796
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 1: might have I might have put an awful lot of

797
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 1: commentary on my opinions about Fuller House in that. I mean,

798
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: I was gonna say salty much, but then you brought

799
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 1: it back from your ranch into a sad, depressing drama series. Um,

800
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna glass half full, your glass half empty.

801
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 1: So this is called Uncle Sully and the Screamers. It's

802
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 1: and Mary Gibbs, formerly known as Boo, is moving back

803
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 1: to her childhood home. Her husband has perished in a

804
00:49:56,840 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 1: car fire because heaven forbid Disney how more than one

805
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 1: alive parent, and she is struggling to take care of

806
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 1: for three children Donna, Boo, I, e dB Sullivan, and

807
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,360
Speaker 1: Mike Ella. And she is also struggling to hold on

808
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 1: to her job as a TV producer and pay her

809
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:15,799
Speaker 1: mortgage at the same time. Meanwhile, Mike and Sully are

810
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 1: hard at work on the laughing floor of Monstropolis. It's

811
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,400
Speaker 1: been harder and harder to generate enough laughs to power

812
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 1: Monstropolis over the years, as children have to become more cynical,

813
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 1: and Mike and Sully are getting worn out trying to

814
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:30,839
Speaker 1: meet the demand. Over lunch, one day, they are reminiscing

815
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:33,479
Speaker 1: of when they first discovered the power of laughter, how

816
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: easy it all seemed back then, and how much they

817
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 1: missed Boo. As they cleaned up their lunch trades, they

818
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 1: got a warning light and rushed back to their office

819
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 1: to see what was going on. The warning light was

820
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: attached to Booze door, but that door hadn't been active

821
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 1: for years. They quickly rushed to the door and turned

822
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 1: on a monitor to check out what was happening on

823
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: the other side, just to see a sad, stressed out

824
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 1: adult Boo. Mike immediately insists that they should go visit her.

825
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 1: They were just talking about her, so it must be

826
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: a sign. Sully, however, is hesitant, afraid that as an adult,

827
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: she won't remember or believe in them, and that would

828
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 1: break his heart. However, Mike, through some loony tune level

829
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 1: rabbit season duck season antics, get Sully to go through

830
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 1: the door, and when they get to the other side,

831
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: not only does Boo recognize them, but so do her children.

832
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 1: It turns out she told her kids stories about the

833
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 1: monsters duo, and the reunion is happy. The kids love

834
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 1: love Mike and Sully, and with their help, Mary is

835
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 1: able to catch up on some much needed chores and work,

836
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 1: and for a week everyone is blissfully happy. Hijen Sin Sue,

837
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 1: and for a time the three forget their worries, enveloped

838
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 1: in love and laughter. But at the end of a

839
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,919
Speaker 1: wonderful week of Sually yelling watch the hair and Mike

840
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:46,760
Speaker 1: saying cut it out to the kids, the two monsters

841
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: realize that they need to return home. Monstropolis is counting

842
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 1: on them. The kids all say a tearful farewell, and

843
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 1: Mike and Sully go back through Booze door. However, when

844
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 1: they get to the other side, they find out that

845
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:00,280
Speaker 1: they had forgotten to turn off the monitor to whose

846
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: house and while they were away. The feed was so

847
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 1: hilarious and popular that it caught syndication and was broadcast

848
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 1: to monsters and people all over the world. It had

849
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 1: become a hit, and so many people were laughing that

850
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 1: it was powering the whole town one hundred times over.

851
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:19,240
Speaker 1: Mike and Sully rushed back to tell Mary the news

852
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,359
Speaker 1: and decided to move in with her. That way, Monstropolis

853
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,840
Speaker 1: would get its power, Mary would get her help, and

854
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 1: the Hodgepodge family would live happily ever after. Oh yeah.

855
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 1: Once they move in, Mike starts a spinoff show called

856
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 1: Ranger Mike where he has a puppet sidekicks spider thing

857
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:39,720
Speaker 1: let's call it a spider called Mr. Waternoos, and Sully

858
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 1: annacs lifelong dream of being a rockabilly singer with a

859
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 1: great hair and starts the band Sully and the Screamers.

860
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: Very very cute. I'm glad that yours didn't go to

861
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:56,399
Speaker 1: Lauras von Cheer territory. No No. I debated, by the way,

862
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:58,720
Speaker 1: I debated when I got to the end of mine,

863
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 1: whether the director of my piece was going to be

864
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 1: Lauras von Trier or were Hurts hurt Zog and uh

865
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 1: Lars von Trier one out. Either way, I feel like

866
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 1: there is kind of an existential dread in mind. So yeah, yeah,

867
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 1: this was this was weird aerial because you know, obviously

868
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,839
Speaker 1: like the two properties that we picked, uh, neither of

869
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:24,399
Speaker 1: which are are dark or like, you know, monsters inc

870
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:26,800
Speaker 1: has some moments that might be a little, yeah, a

871
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: little scary. For like, the whole premise is that the

872
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 1: monsters are trying to scare kids, right, But but they're

873
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:35,280
Speaker 1: not dark. They're they're very fun, uplifting kind of things.

874
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 1: I mean, mileage may very for Full our House, but

875
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 1: it is interesting that we both kind of took it

876
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: to that place. I think that just tells us that

877
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:47,040
Speaker 1: when we do these creative endeavors where we try to

878
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 1: tweak something that we're familiar with, we don't want to

879
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 1: just repeat the stuff that's there, or you know, or

880
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 1: just crank up the dial a couple of notches too,

881
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 1: and you know, intensify whatever was there. We want to

882
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 1: transform it. And I think we did that to I

883
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:08,720
Speaker 1: think we did some good work. I think so too.

884
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 1: I also think that when you take to comedic enterprises

885
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 1: and you smush them together, uh, it brings out the

886
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:19,520
Speaker 1: genuine heartfeltness or sadness. Yeah, there was, there was a deep,

887
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: deep comedy cancels it cancels each other out and all

888
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:25,959
Speaker 1: you've got left is the truth. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't

889
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 1: even have Sully in mind. I couldn't. I couldn't think

890
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:32,319
Speaker 1: of a way of incorporating Sully where I wouldn't do

891
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 1: something equally terrible to him, so I thought, let's just

892
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 1: limit this. Shelly Um fair enough. Yeah, well that was

893
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:44,760
Speaker 1: that was fun for a given definition of fun for

894
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 1: for mine anyway. So we look forward to doing a

895
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 1: lot more of these. We are curious if any of

896
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:53,919
Speaker 1: you out there have your own mash ups of these

897
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 1: properties that you would like to propose, or if you

898
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:59,280
Speaker 1: have any suggestions for mashups we should do in the future,

899
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 1: or things just conversational you know, talking points you would

900
