1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Great to flick with. Benoche, Good morning morning.

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 2: I've heard a lot of things, but I've never heard of.

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: An intercoal at least.

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 3: I'm so glad you brought that up, because I have

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 3: written and covered movies for a long time, long time.

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 3: Never in my days have I heard the word intercoll.

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 3: I've been a journalist for decades and I never even

8
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 3: knew that word existed until Alien Romulus came out. And basically,

9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 3: it's a word that describes a film that it's like

10
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 3: the filling in a sandwich. You've got the slices of bread,

11
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 3: which are other films that have already been released.

12
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: And you have prequels, which are, you know, movies that are.

13
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 4: Before the event Star Wars obviously episode one, you know, yeah,

14
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 4: a prequel, and then you've got just sequels, which are

15
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 4: movies that come after the first movie.

16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: But if you want to sandwich something in avocado and like.

17
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So it's an intercol and intercour And if

18
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 3: you'd asked me, can you give me some examples of

19
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 3: other successful intercalls, I would say, what the heck you

20
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 3: talking about?

21
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: Suppose they did it with Star Wars. Didn't they start?

22
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 2: Didn't they start?

23
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 3: You know?

24
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: Because I've only ever seen one.

25
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: Seventy seven Star Wars is the only one I've ever seen.

26
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: And then people, young people try to tell me, oh,

27
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 2: that's chapter four, so episode no, it is not.

28
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 3: That's episode four, and then you had the prequels, and

29
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 3: then Rogue one technically is an intercal because in between

30
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 3: episode three and episode four.

31
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so it's like three and a half three

32
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: and a half exactly.

33
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 3: So you would think being an inter call that there

34
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 3: probably is not much chance that Alien Romulus would be

35
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 3: very good because what you're sandwiching it between are the

36
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 3: two greatest alien movies, Like this is a franchise. There's

37
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 3: never really been a terrible alien movie, if I'm being honest,

38
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 3: but there are certainly some that are better than others,

39
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 3: and the two best by far the first nineteen seventy

40
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 3: nine Ridley Scott Alien Sigourney Weaver amazing. You can't be

41
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: very close Aliens. It's one of those examples where it

42
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 3: was a sequel better than the original maybe, And you

43
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 3: know that was directed by James Cameron. He brought his

44
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 3: James Cameron like Cameron esque vibes to that film and

45
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 3: it was incredible. Then the third film Alien Resurrection, directed

46
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 3: by David Fincher of all people, So which is it

47
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 3: was okay like it was.

48
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: It was a great movie, not necessarily some good moments

49
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: in it.

50
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 3: And then you know, you then you have Prometheus, which

51
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 3: was a prequel had David Fassbender and knew me repaced.

52
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 3: No one really understood what was happening in Prometheus. They

53
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 3: built it initially as it wasn't even an alien movie,

54
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 3: and then and then people got hang on a minute, yes,

55
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 3: and so it did put some people's noses at a

56
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 3: joint the way they marketed.

57
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: That movie, mess with the alien.

58
00:02:54,840 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 3: And then there was a prequel sequel, so a sequel

59
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,839
Speaker 3: to Prometheus, which is called Alien Covenant, which had which

60
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 3: was notable for having two fastbenders. There was because he

61
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 3: was he was an android, David, and there was a

62
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 3: good version of him and a bad version of him.

63
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 3: So classic kind of like a double impact with to

64
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 3: Jean Claude van Dante and so and the whole mythology

65
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 3: around alien is very confusing, you know, like it's even

66
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 3: understanding the life cycle of these aliens. You know, like

67
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 3: you almost need David Adamborough to say we have a

68
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 3: face it sticks to its per host is fast and

69
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 3: then sticks it's too ideas and so so you basically

70
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 3: you've got the face hugger, which sticks onto their face,

71
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: lays its egg chest burster, which is when it bursts

72
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 3: out of the victims chest. Classic when you at least

73
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 3: wanted to. You're trying to fly a spaceship and you

74
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 3: feel something knocking on the inside your rib cage and

75
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 3: you gather your mates around.

76
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: I think there's something weird happening in here.

77
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 3: Maybe I had a bad cabat And then it's not

78
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 3: going to come over, and then everyone starts freaking out

79
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 3: because it starts to you see it's it's coming. It's coming,

80
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 3: to see it's coming, and then out it goes, and

81
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 3: then it turns into the eventually the xenomorph, which is

82
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 3: the creature, the scary, terrifying creature with the double mouth

83
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 3: that's got kind of the mouth thing that comes out

84
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 3: just which is great radio. I'm just demonstrated double hands.

85
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 3: And then and it lays eggs and then it just

86
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 3: goes around and around the circles. Everybody dies. That's generally

87
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 3: how it is until Sigourney Weaver saves the day. There's

88
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 3: no Sigourney Weaver in this film. But this is a

89
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 3: great throwback movie from Uruguayan director Fetti Alvarez, who did

90
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 3: Don't Breathe, which is a really terrifying horror movie. He

91
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 3: also did the Texas Chainsaw Massacre reboot. He's got a

92
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 3: really good eye for horror and he brings that to

93
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,679
Speaker 3: this movie. Visually, it's spectacular, like this is really high

94
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: end science fiction. The aesthetic is really close to the

95
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 3: first two movies, and there's so many little Easter eggs

96
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 3: in there. You know.

97
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: So Ian Holm from the original he's so good.

98
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's he's an android in this movie and cgi character.

99
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 3: But it is really really good. It's a really fun throwback.

100
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 3: There's lots of lines from those first two movies that

101
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 3: really iconic lines that are reinvented in this movie. It's

102
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 3: got Kaylee Spainey, who we just saw as Priscilla in

103
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 3: the Coppla Elvis movie called Priscilla Say. She's a legit

104
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 3: actress as the kind of the Sigourney Weaver heroin in

105
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 3: this film. She's fantastic. David Johnson from the Industry TV

106
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 3: series is an android.

107
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: He steals the show. He's really really good.

108
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 3: It's basically like you get a whole bunch of like

109
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 3: you know, gen Z, Millennial Cuspers, and you do a

110
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 3: remake of Alien.

111
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: That's kind of what this is. So Norney saying, come

112
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: here a bit.

113
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 3: You get very close to it. He get real close

114
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 3: to it. It looks good. There's lots of jumps, scares,

115
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 3: some legit horror moments as well. There's the kind of

116
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 3: final act maybe loses its way a little bit and

117
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 3: gets like so it's so hard to watch that, you know,

118
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 3: the average the average viewer will just be turning their

119
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 3: heads away from the final act and it maybe doesn't

120
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 3: quite stick the landing. But you know, as far as

121
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 3: the kind of their sixth or seventh film and the

122
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 3: franchise goes, this is a pretty dang good effort.

123
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: How many will there be a remisses? Are you giving?

124
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to give it three and a half. What

125
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: was called intercal interval. There you go, there you go.

126
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: We learn something every day.

127
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: Absolutely, we'll put that on scrabble. Thanks ban those guys,
