1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:05,359
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Crisis

2
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: on trend Finite Earth's that is courtesy of someone whose

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: name I did not take down. So while you were

4
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: talking at one point during this recording, Miles, I will

5
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: look that up, but for now I'm Jack. That's Miles,

6
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: and this is what's trending this Friday afternoon. Oh yeah,

7
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 1: do you like my announcer voice. I feel like it's

8
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: working for I told you don't ask for my opinion

9
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:35,639
Speaker 1: when you know it might not be the thing you're

10
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: not gonna want to hear. Yeah, it puts me in

11
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: a rough spot. Okay, my bet, my bet, because I

12
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: love it. I knew it, knew you brought me back,

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: knew it. That's my announcer voice faltering. Actually, no, I

14
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: don't like that announcer voice now, and they think about it.

15
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: That sucks. I hate it. I think it's stinks. And

16
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: this is what's trending. How tag A push would not

17
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: have known what that is? Oh? I do, because I

18
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: have not seen a push in what hell of them

19
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: like nineteen years or something, seven eighteen whatever, however long

20
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: old I am a p u S history is what

21
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: that stands for. And my goodness for all you nerds

22
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: out there that took a P classes. I forgot that

23
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: this is a P test time right now, and the

24
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: a P tests have been happening this week, and apparently

25
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: there's just been all kinds of problems to the point

26
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: where hashtag a p U s H is trending on Twitter,

27
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: which is such a weird thing for me that we're

28
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: now there were like gripes that I had in high school.

29
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe I'm just trying taking paying more

30
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: attention to these trends, but yes, a lot of people

31
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: have been having trouble uploading. There's been a lot of

32
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: criticism because they're like, if there are people who don't

33
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: have access to computers or high speed internet, like, then

34
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: they can't even take the test because normally a P

35
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: tests for people who don't know their tests that are

36
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: interstured in a school normally, and if you get a

37
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: passing grade of A three or up on a scale

38
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: of five, you can receive college credit. Um. And it

39
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: was dude, they gave the let these kids do normally

40
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: these things are three hour tests, forty five minutes just

41
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: write something down. But it seems like a lot of

42
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: people were confused by how the document based question or

43
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: d d Q. I've been writing as a proctor for these,

44
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: just going to uh various students windows and peering in

45
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: to make sure they're not on the test. Good gig,

46
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: good work if he can get it. How do they

47
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,119
Speaker 1: ensure that people aren't cheating using the internet. It's that's

48
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: a thing. So what they did was the college board

49
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: who administers the test, They're like, they were basically saying like,

50
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: should we cancel? Do we cancel these? And then all

51
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: the students were overwhelmingly like, hell no, I've been trying.

52
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: I've been studying for this thing the whole year. Do

53
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: not take this from me. I've been working so hard.

54
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: So they pivoted very quickly in March to try and

55
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: do an online version where it's like they have to

56
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: verify their work. It's not even clear to me how

57
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: it works. But that's why I think they went to

58
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: a writing question rather than like multiple choice, because it's

59
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: open book, open note, Like, let's just test people in

60
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: their writing and then we can check against plagiarition from there.

61
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: Makes sense. YEA Space Force is trending because the flag

62
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: was unbailed and it's basically just a Star Trek look.

63
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 1: I mean, like they legit seemed to be stealing things

64
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: from Star Trek, right, Like that's just that's just the

65
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: Star Trek logo. Yeah, but I think that there's been

66
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: a lot of talk about that form being used since

67
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: Time Memorial. But it's just a lame. I mean, we

68
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: saw these mock ups really early on, and like it's like, okay, fine,

69
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: but it's just I feel bad for them, like parading

70
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: this flag around like it's meaningful, it's whatever. It's like

71
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: such a weird you feel bad for the Yeah, I

72
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: really feel I'm really really feeling it for him. I

73
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: mean just honestly. I mean, like maybe Ego too hard

74
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,839
Speaker 1: on him, as he you know, sort of intentionally lets

75
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: people die in the country. I don't know, maybe that's

76
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: that's all. Looks he looks like a child at a

77
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: parade as this flag is being unveiled, just like beaming

78
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: in the background, no mask, obviously, standing right next to

79
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: a human another human space force. All right, that's the thing. Oh. Also,

80
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: just so you know, he was also saying the president

81
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 1: something about a super duper miss super duper one. He

82
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: literally is he used the words I call it the

83
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: super duper missile. I'm glad we have him in charge

84
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: of naming stuff. Uh we called the super Duper Yeah.

85
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: So they're working on some kind of you know, mass

86
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: murder objects and it's a super duper missile. So don't

87
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: get the wrong idea. At least all those people who

88
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: are killed by whatever missile they're working on will have

89
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: the dignity of being killed by something called the super

90
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: Duper missile um, which goes seventeen times faster than current weapons,

91
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: which are already, as I understand it, pretty fast. So yeah, meanwhile,

92
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: people are starving in our own country. Well done, Well done, guys.

93
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: Scooby Doo is trending because a new movie called Scoob

94
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: just came out. It's all caps S C O O

95
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: B exclamation point, so that's you're you're required to say

96
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: it that way. It's all animated Scooby Doo movie. And

97
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: I don't know why this exists. Yeah, I'm sure I'll

98
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: be watching it this weekend, so i'll be able to

99
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: do Was this supposed to be a theatrical release? I

100
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: think so yeah. I think I remember seeing trailers for

101
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: this a while back. Woh man, So they're going for it.

102
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: They're they're following trolls into the bridge. Everybody is like this.

103
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: We have literally a captive audience of parents. This only

104
00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: would have worked if our if we were like general rationally,

105
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: this isn't going to have the same Like it would

106
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: have taken an elder like jen X parent or boomer

107
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: parent to be like, oh, yeah, Scoop, I'll take my

108
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,559
Speaker 1: kids to that. That's like our parents, Like I would

109
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: have remember, like that would have been saying my parents

110
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: would be like, yeah, let's let's go Scooby Doo on.

111
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if like people who are parents now

112
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: who are like, oh, yeah, scool, my kids love it.

113
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: I don't know, is there the same like are your

114
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: children aware of the existence of school? Uh no, they're not,

115
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: not at all. The reviews are all basically like pre

116
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: sold fans, especially fans with kids of Scooby Doo, Shaggy, Velma, Daphne,

117
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: and the thud named Fred are in the bag. I

118
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: don't know what to tell the rest of you, Like

119
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: that's the best review I could find. It's just like

120
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: people people are saying it's not good, which is not

121
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: I mean, the CNN headline is Scoop isn't much fun,

122
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: and neither are those meddling kids. But it's written by

123
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: like an old guy who doesn't seem like he would

124
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: think anything is fun unless it were like some like

125
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: going through a picture book of classic. The Avy Club

126
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: has a review from Katie Rife, who is a young

127
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: person with dyed hair, and she says any hopes one

128
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: might have of the film exceeding the low expectations set

129
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: by it's unnecessarily punctuated title should be abandoned forthwith. So

130
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: she just basically said this movie sucks in a lot

131
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: of wordy ways, using we just need our favorite critic J.

132
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: Sherman to come back and just tell us Scarface is

133
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: trending and this is, uh, this is something I'm very

134
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: excited about to watch with my kids. So there's apparently

135
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: been a push since two thousand eleven to remake Scarface,

136
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: which is a is a movie that has had like

137
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: has grown into very iconics as uh since it was

138
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: released in nine so it makes sense that they would

139
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: want to remake it. But it's written by the Coen Brothers. Yeah,

140
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: because the original screenplay is Oliver Stone and the Brian

141
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: to Palmer version, and that it's just weird, like that

142
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: we're needing a modernized reboot of Scarface, because I mean

143
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: the thing was like Scarface was so huge because every rapper.

144
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: It became like just absolute necessary viewing for any rap

145
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: fan because Scarface is constantly referenced by rap rappers and

146
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: just like that sort of drug dealer culture, you know,

147
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: the glamorized drug dealer comes from Scarface. And I feel

148
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: like that was my responsibility to watch it in the

149
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: first place, because I wanted to be literate in the

150
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: films that rappers were talking about, which is drove me.

151
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: And I think many people, young men in college to

152
00:08:53,559 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: have the post wrong. Did you of like don't yet

153
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: exactly classic classic? But now like I'm curious, I don't know.

154
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: At the same time, like I love I think it

155
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: would be. This sounds very interesting, but it's just bizarre

156
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: that this is where they put their focus. I was like, no,

157
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: we need, we need them to do Scarf. I mean,

158
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: it makes sense to me in the sense. So the

159
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: very first Scarface uh came out and I think the

160
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: thirties it was like pre m p A A and

161
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: it was the Haze Code. I think that was what

162
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: it was called. Was like the morality that you know,

163
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: they used to judge movies at that time, so it

164
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: was before ratings, and it was pretty violent. It was

165
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: about like Capone, like thirties gangster. That's really like all

166
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: they took. I think it was Chicago bootleg era. And

167
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: I think the only thing they took was that he

168
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: had a scar on his face and that he wanted

169
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: to have sex with his sister. Those were like the

170
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: only two traits that carried over to the nine eighty version.

171
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: And then and did he did he mrk his best

172
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: friend character? Get what? I watched it like for college

173
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: and a class about movie violence. It's like, it's interesting

174
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: to me to like have every you know, forty years

175
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: there's a there's a movie that's about the gangster culture

176
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: of the time. I'm just curious what I think. I

177
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: read somewhere that they were going to do it as

178
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: like a Mexican drug lord, which would be dope. I Mean,

179
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: the thing that interests me most is the Coen Brothers

180
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: take on this. That's by far I mean, no matter

181
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: who's direct, I mean, no no shade for a Luca,

182
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: but the Cohen Brothers take on a gangster flick like

183
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: this I think it's probably the most interesting aspect of

184
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: this entire story. And I think the Guadalnino aspect is

185
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: interesting too, because you're like the last couple of things

186
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: you know him for like Suspiria called me by your name. Yeah,

187
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: I mean the first or the eighties one had person

188
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: with interesting things to say, made by like a real

189
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: esthetic like artist and Brian to Palma. So maybe this

190
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: could be another repeat of that formula. Well we'll see. Alright, Well,

191
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: we gotta get off because there's a a blue Angel

192
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: flyover coming and we have to you know, go out

193
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,840

00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,160

197
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 1: or what it stands for. Because still I am appreciative

198
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: of the military for you know, saluting us with this

199
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: flyover for completing season one thirty three. I mean, look,

200
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 1: we take shots sometimes at the military industrial complex, but

201
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: in in this instance, very specifically, very narrowly, if you're

202
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: using the might of the United States Navy, uh to

203
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,200
