1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: Welcome to them. Christian O'Connell show podcast. Let's get into it.

2
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 1: Do you remember the Never Ending Story in the eighties?

3
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: Asked Jack to watch it yesterday evening. But here's fresh

4
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: millennial take on the never Ending.

5
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 2: Story so far, he's slay the karate Kid, He's slay

6
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 2: top Gun, which is still a very sort of point

7
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: on the show.

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: All right, they're never Ending Story. Now.

9
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 2: I went back to this last year. You know, we

10
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 2: were in oh, the heydays of Lockdown when it was

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 2: I was into it before everybody else was into Lockdown.

12
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 2: When we're in Lockdown number two, I was just trying

13
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: to find old movies from the eighties. I thought the

14
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 2: kids might enjoy took them to The Never Ending Story.

15
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 3: No, they wouldn't have loved it.

16
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: Adults should never go back to that movie. I've actually

17
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: written on a piece of paper, put in an envelope

18
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: and sealed it and given it to Jack. I think

19
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: I can predict your takes on this. All right, open

20
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: it up now before I ask you, Jack, what did

21
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 2: you make fresh eyes, cold eyes? Fresh eyes on Never

22
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: Ending Story?

23
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 3: I opened the envelope. I gotta say the song theme

24
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 3: song is a banger.

25
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: The only thing that's banging any kind of energy to

26
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: the relentless and those your takes.

27
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: I've written down four tapes.

28
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, okay, pretty much our takes lineup.

29
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: Do they right? Okay? So what have I putt down

30
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: for number one?

31
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 3: Okay? No surprises for the first one, because it's my

32
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 3: bugbear with every Aid movie. Way too slow, but.

33
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: This one's horrendous.

34
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: It's only nineteen minutes, but who knew nineteen minutes could

35
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 2: actually go by like nine hours. I don't know if

36
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: they called it the never Ending Story after someone saw.

37
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: A first cut, I went't work. It's out the never

38
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: Ending Story. Wait, let's call it that.

39
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, it should be called the never ending cut scenes

40
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 3: because it's the parts between the dialogue that.

41
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: Takes so long.

42
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 3: Purge, its just flying around on that big dragon. Yeah,

43
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 3: three minutes with no dialogue.

44
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: Generation we've taken number three or four. It's about that

45
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: dragon on dragon. Why he's so creepy, so creepy.

46
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 3: All of the character My main takeaway from it is

47
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 3: all of the characters are so scary and unlikable. I

48
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 3: can't believe this was a movie for children. You know,

49
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 3: it is so dark.

50
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: I was I think it.

51
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 2: Was made by someone someone who was bullied by children

52
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 2: right and hated mankind.

53
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 3: You know, you know what it is. I found out

54
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 3: it's a German book and it was filmed in Munich,

55
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 3: and it's made by the Germans. They don't care for

56
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 3: a Hollywood ending.

57
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: What are you saying.

58
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 3: Well, they killed that horse twenty minutes in attacks Yeah,

59
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 3: four arttacks sinking into the quagmire, and you think, all right,

60
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 3: hang on minute.

61
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 2: Quagmire was the other word that Slash was going to use,

62
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 2: but he went with countenance.

63
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: The rock and roll quagmire has been changed forever. You

64
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: had me a quagmire. Put that on the promo.

65
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 3: If it was an American film, a tray, you would

66
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 3: have pulled out the horse from the cragmire, just at

67
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 3: the last second before he goes on. Twenty minutes into

68
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 3: the film, the horse goes under. Okay, he's just he

69
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 3: drowned in.

70
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 4: The grammar, cried up, kids cried up, and the all

71
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 4: the something about the eighties and how they did the

72
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 4: makeup on the goblins and the characters, they're all stuff

73
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 4: of nightmare.

74
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: And as a Goblin fan yourself, you must have been

75
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: a frontship by that.

76
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 3: I had statues of wizards. I didn't have statues of

77
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 3: goblins growing up.

78
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: He drew the line at goblins I could have watched

79
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: by the way. One of my takes then, is also

80
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: about the technology used. Take number two. The lip sinking

81
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: is they don't make any effort.

82
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 3: They have no effort feulcre and the Mark is Mark,

83
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 3: the bad guy, the wolf, black Wolf. He they both

84
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 3: are terribly, terribly lips sinking.

85
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: It must have seen it and gone, can we charge

86
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: people this? No, No, it doesn't nothing sinks up doesn't matter.

87
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: It's the eighties.

88
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 3: It's like whatever mechanism they have for shutting and opening

89
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 3: the mouth was too slow for normal speech. So it

90
00:03:54,720 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 3: always feels it's just lagging behind shoking. And then the

91
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 3: third thing is just and this is this is my

92
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 3: bug bear with most fantasy films, but just the absolute

93
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 3: nonsense of some of the storylines. So the Emperor, trying

94
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 3: to save the whole of Fantasia, says to a tray you, hey,

95
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 3: you got to go on this quest to save Fantasia

96
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 3: for no reason, he says, And you have to go alone.

97
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 3: No one can go with you. Oh and another thing,

98
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 3: you can't take any weapons. Yeah, it doesn't explain why

99
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 3: that is, just says that's the way it has to be.

100
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: And also the big ending that they keep babbling on

101
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 2: about and you can barely understand it because you're hearing

102
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: someone then seeing the mouse see someone else, right, is

103
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: such an anticlimax? Yeah, and so how many swirling crowds

104
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: do we need to see?

105
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 3: Tell me if you did this, I could hardly hear

106
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 3: the dialogue between the characters because I kept turning down

107
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 3: the volume because anytime one of the monsters came on,

108
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 3: it was the movie was far too loud.

109
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 2: I watched it with you know that the captions on

110
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: them so I could actually try and understand it, and

111
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 2: a lot of it they just went inaudible, mumbling all

112
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 2: it says is inaudible, and mumble all the creatures has

113
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 2: come on in, Yes, they were Head of the Ozark

114
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: or any of those Netflix shows that are really dimly lit,

115
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 2: and it's like, what was he saying?

116
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: What it's like inaudible mumbling?

117
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,119
Speaker 3: Two out of ten for me, and the extra points

118
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 3: for the banger of the theme song. Two out of

119
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 3: ten for the movie.

120
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: Don't you think one of the most depressing kids movies

121
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: you've ever seen? Its relentlessly gray and depressed.

122
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: You're not show it to your children.

123
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 2: No more kids movies Germany but Christian O'Connell Show podcast
