0:00:01.520 --> 0:00:10.119
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to them. Christian O'Connell show podcast. Let's get into it.

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember the Never Ending Story in the eighties?

0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Asked Jack to watch it yesterday evening. But here's fresh

0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:20.439
<v Speaker 1>millennial take on the never Ending.

0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Story so far, he's slay the karate Kid, He's slay

0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:27.040
<v Speaker 2>top Gun, which is still a very sort of point

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:27.680
<v Speaker 2>on the show.

0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:30.640
<v Speaker 1>All right, they're never Ending Story. Now.

0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:33.559
<v Speaker 2>I went back to this last year. You know, we

0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:35.920
<v Speaker 2>were in oh, the heydays of Lockdown when it was

0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:38.120
<v Speaker 2>I was into it before everybody else was into Lockdown.

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:40.120
<v Speaker 2>When we're in Lockdown number two, I was just trying

0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:42.440
<v Speaker 2>to find old movies from the eighties. I thought the

0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:44.880
<v Speaker 2>kids might enjoy took them to The Never Ending Story.

0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:46.199
<v Speaker 3>No, they wouldn't have loved it.

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:51.640
<v Speaker 2>Adults should never go back to that movie. I've actually

0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:53.720
<v Speaker 2>written on a piece of paper, put in an envelope

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:55.400
<v Speaker 2>and sealed it and given it to Jack. I think

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 2>I can predict your takes on this. All right, open

0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:01.320
<v Speaker 2>it up now before I ask you, Jack, what did

0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:05.319
<v Speaker 2>you make fresh eyes, cold eyes? Fresh eyes on Never

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 2>Ending Story?

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:09.160
<v Speaker 3>I opened the envelope. I gotta say the song theme

0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:09.959
<v Speaker 3>song is a banger.

0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 2>The only thing that's banging any kind of energy to

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:16.920
<v Speaker 2>the relentless and those your takes.

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:19.039
<v Speaker 1>I've written down four tapes.

0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:22.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, okay, pretty much our takes lineup.

0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:24.479
<v Speaker 1>Do they right? Okay? So what have I putt down

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:25.080
<v Speaker 1>for number one?

0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:27.800
<v Speaker 3>Okay? No surprises for the first one, because it's my

0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 3>bugbear with every Aid movie. Way too slow, but.

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:32.200
<v Speaker 1>This one's horrendous.

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.760
<v Speaker 2>It's only nineteen minutes, but who knew nineteen minutes could

0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:38.120
<v Speaker 2>actually go by like nine hours. I don't know if

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:41.360
<v Speaker 2>they called it the never Ending Story after someone saw.

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 1>A first cut, I went't work. It's out the never

0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Ending Story. Wait, let's call it that.

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:47.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it should be called the never ending cut scenes

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 3>because it's the parts between the dialogue that.

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Takes so long.

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:53.560
<v Speaker 3>Purge, its just flying around on that big dragon. Yeah,

0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:55.440
<v Speaker 3>three minutes with no dialogue.

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Generation we've taken number three or four. It's about that

0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 1>dragon on dragon. Why he's so creepy, so creepy.

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 3>All of the character My main takeaway from it is

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:07.760
<v Speaker 3>all of the characters are so scary and unlikable. I

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:11.080
<v Speaker 3>can't believe this was a movie for children. You know,

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 3>it is so dark.

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I was I think it.

0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Was made by someone someone who was bullied by children

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:18.079
<v Speaker 2>right and hated mankind.

0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:20.079
<v Speaker 3>You know, you know what it is. I found out

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 3>it's a German book and it was filmed in Munich,

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 3>and it's made by the Germans. They don't care for

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:26.880
<v Speaker 3>a Hollywood ending.

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:30.160
<v Speaker 1>What are you saying.

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:32.520
<v Speaker 3>Well, they killed that horse twenty minutes in attacks Yeah,

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:36.080
<v Speaker 3>four arttacks sinking into the quagmire, and you think, all right,

0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:36.640
<v Speaker 3>hang on minute.

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.079
<v Speaker 2>Quagmire was the other word that Slash was going to use,

0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:41.960
<v Speaker 2>but he went with countenance.

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 1>The rock and roll quagmire has been changed forever. You

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 1>had me a quagmire. Put that on the promo.

0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 3>If it was an American film, a tray, you would

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:54.840
<v Speaker 3>have pulled out the horse from the cragmire, just at

0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:57.720
<v Speaker 3>the last second before he goes on. Twenty minutes into

0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:00.239
<v Speaker 3>the film, the horse goes under. Okay, he's just he

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 3>drowned in.

0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:04.639
<v Speaker 4>The grammar, cried up, kids cried up, and the all

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 4>the something about the eighties and how they did the

0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:10.440
<v Speaker 4>makeup on the goblins and the characters, they're all stuff

0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 4>of nightmare.

0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.400
<v Speaker 2>And as a Goblin fan yourself, you must have been

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 2>a frontship by that.

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:17.080
<v Speaker 3>I had statues of wizards. I didn't have statues of

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:18.240
<v Speaker 3>goblins growing up.

0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 1>He drew the line at goblins I could have watched

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 1>by the way. One of my takes then, is also

0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.800
<v Speaker 1>about the technology used. Take number two. The lip sinking

0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:28.760
<v Speaker 1>is they don't make any effort.

0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:32.480
<v Speaker 3>They have no effort feulcre and the Mark is Mark,

0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:37.480
<v Speaker 3>the bad guy, the wolf, black Wolf. He they both

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 3>are terribly, terribly lips sinking.

0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:43.600
<v Speaker 2>It must have seen it and gone, can we charge

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:46.880
<v Speaker 2>people this? No, No, it doesn't nothing sinks up doesn't matter.

0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:47.560
<v Speaker 1>It's the eighties.

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 3>It's like whatever mechanism they have for shutting and opening

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 3>the mouth was too slow for normal speech. So it

0:03:54.720 --> 0:04:01.000
<v Speaker 3>always feels it's just lagging behind shoking. And then the

0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.640
<v Speaker 3>third thing is just and this is this is my

0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 3>bug bear with most fantasy films, but just the absolute

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:11.000
<v Speaker 3>nonsense of some of the storylines. So the Emperor, trying

0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:14.120
<v Speaker 3>to save the whole of Fantasia, says to a tray you, hey,

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.520
<v Speaker 3>you got to go on this quest to save Fantasia

0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 3>for no reason, he says, And you have to go alone.

0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:20.880
<v Speaker 3>No one can go with you. Oh and another thing,

0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.440
<v Speaker 3>you can't take any weapons. Yeah, it doesn't explain why

0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 3>that is, just says that's the way it has to be.

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.000
<v Speaker 2>And also the big ending that they keep babbling on

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:30.040
<v Speaker 2>about and you can barely understand it because you're hearing

0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:33.080
<v Speaker 2>someone then seeing the mouse see someone else, right, is

0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 2>such an anticlimax? Yeah, and so how many swirling crowds

0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:37.960
<v Speaker 2>do we need to see?

0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:40.520
<v Speaker 3>Tell me if you did this, I could hardly hear

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:42.720
<v Speaker 3>the dialogue between the characters because I kept turning down

0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:44.920
<v Speaker 3>the volume because anytime one of the monsters came on,

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:46.880
<v Speaker 3>it was the movie was far too loud.

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.839
<v Speaker 2>I watched it with you know that the captions on

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:51.880
<v Speaker 2>them so I could actually try and understand it, and

0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:55.560
<v Speaker 2>a lot of it they just went inaudible, mumbling all

0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:59.040
<v Speaker 2>it says is inaudible, and mumble all the creatures has

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:01.720
<v Speaker 2>come on in, Yes, they were Head of the Ozark

0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:03.960
<v Speaker 2>or any of those Netflix shows that are really dimly lit,

0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:05.279
<v Speaker 2>and it's like, what was he saying?

0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:07.000
<v Speaker 1>What it's like inaudible mumbling?

0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:10.119
<v Speaker 3>Two out of ten for me, and the extra points

0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:12.680
<v Speaker 3>for the banger of the theme song. Two out of

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:13.320
<v Speaker 3>ten for the movie.

0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:15.680
<v Speaker 1>Don't you think one of the most depressing kids movies

0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:18.599
<v Speaker 1>you've ever seen? Its relentlessly gray and depressed.

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:19.880
<v Speaker 3>You're not show it to your children.

0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:24.240
<v Speaker 2>No more kids movies Germany but Christian O'Connell Show podcast
