Altered Geek
Celebrity Deaths, Michigan Film Incentives, and Disney

About this Episode
Hi, this is Pat Fraley, purveyor of duck, dog,
and villain voices, and you're watching Altered
Geek. Welcome to altered geek unlimited episode
93. I'm your host Steve Megatron Phillips and
joining me this week are the two mics The ones
that have the wrestling podcast together Among
many other things Yeah, we won't bore Steve with
that. We'll talk about that on our show Unfortunately,
there's been a lot of celebrity deaths today
or this week. Yeah, it's been a bad week to be
famous Yeah count dooku. He um He says one with
the force. Yeah saw him on the white now is gone
But hey, man, he's now immortal if anybody or
so much more bitchin'. Plus, if you guys look
him up, he actually did a metal album where he
sings about Charlamagne. It is so metal, as like
Vikings will kick down your door. That's how
awesome it is. Yeah, I didn't expect that. And
apparently, and this is just according to my
Facebook trending thing, apparently Blanche from
the Golden Girls heard. death five years ago
is now making news online. I haven't looked at
it to see what it is that the news is. You know
what? It's weird. People tend to report deaths
or like people don't realize people have died.
Like there is someone, I can't remember who it
was, but I'm like, that guy died like two years
ago. They're like, oh, I'm like, don't you check
the dates on the articles that you put in. I
mean, I'm guilty of that too. It happens more
than you think with people not reading the article
dates because I know a lot of people that'll
post something and I'm like, you realize that's
like three years ago or like Blanchard will post
something and I'm like, we covered that on AGU
like a year ago. Oh yeah. Okay, but in my defense
about something like that is it just showed up
in my timeline now. Sometimes I just glance and
don't realize. Yeah. Like you know certain stories.
I forget which one it was that you said you guys
talked about an age I think it was something
to do with some Batman thing or something or
other like That news had just shown up that day
this year on My timeline for some odd reason
somebody reshared it or redid something with
it, and it looked like it was a new news article
Let's see who else have we lost What are they're
kind of weird new another name that I saw today
who's Ron Oh, yeah Good question. I'll have to
look him up. I Feel like I should know it as
a geek, but I'm gonna plead The name does sound
familiar I mean I know of Ben Moody, but that's
something completely different He was a British
actor known for his Golden Globe -winning and
Oscar -nominated performances Fagan and Oliver
and as the Wizard Merlin in Disney's A Kid in
King Arthur's Court. Oh He starred next to Thomas
Ian Nicholas from American Pie in A Kid in King
Arthur's Court. That's right. I remember this
guy now Yeah So what you're telling me is they
don't have any power. No. Oh, they've only grown
more powerful than you could possibly imagine.
But you cannot cheat death. It's nasty. I won't
do it. Oh, yeah, it's been a hell of a day for
that. But, you know, the world turns on. It's
not all bad news today. No. Yes, as we often
do. What's everybody been up to last week? Well
for me I've been working on the Smithsonian superhero
class We're getting close to being done. Now.
This week is the last week of the actual assignments
The actual project final project is due on the
26th for being turned in Which is awesome I created
some characters I have actually created almost
an entire mythos and league of characters on
both good and bad and I posted my main ones for
the project in the the Facebook group for it
and the response to it is actually kind of funny
because Some of the people are like I would totally
love to see these two guys going at it Planning
a first issue got it because I got to see and
then people are like that's great design You
know automatic fan here keep me updated, you
know, and then These are brilliant. I love the
names and you know, it's just it's kind of nice
seeing that but If I were any kind of an artist,
I would go ahead and make them into actual comics,
but... Hey, man, there might be some fan out
there in the GeekCast radio world who may take
an interest and just do it for you. That would
be awesome. So artists out there, bug Steve!
Might be something cool. Yeah. In other news,
though, the Michigan film incentives got canned.
So explain that to me. What it is is the Michigan
government senators and and congressmen and everything
decided that the the the film incentives were
too costly so they didn't want to spend money
on it anymore even though it was bringing jobs
here you know ie Batman vs Superman and stuff
like that And in doing so, they were hiring people
like myself that are in the media, you know,
learning how to edit, learning how to shoot the
stuff. I mean, they were hiring people like us
that are going to school for this. So now essentially,
it's meaning that if we're going to use the degree
other than like a radio or a TV station, if we
want to do film, we're going to have to move
out of the state. Well, maybe not necessarily,
but it'll be ten times harder to find work now.
They completely killed the film incentives here.
So, like, there's no incentive for them. No tax
deductions, no breaks. And as you all know, if
you give tax breaks to something, it comes closer.
Yeah. But I guess if they want to film in Michigan,
it's because they can't find anywhere else that
looks like this or something. The only thing
about that is all 49 states, besides Michigan
now, still has the incentive. That's kind of
stupid. I don't see why Michigan would shoot
themselves in the foot like that. Because the
congressmen are people that have been in for
40 years and have no understanding of modern
technology. Just kind of fucked up because those
people that are that old should really appreciate
older movies and how much a good location can
really matter to a film. And I'll take... I was
in class Wednesday when they had the news...
the local news come in and interview the teacher
one of my classmates and then there was like
actual shots of footage and I was in my you know
the side of me was in the shot but while the
teacher was talking but when we take a break
after we tell what's new I'll throw that clip
in there but yeah it's it's kind of kind of messed
up because yeah it's It's like saying, uh, hey,
thanks for getting a college education in Michigan.
Fuck you. Go somewhere else. I mean, California
is nice. Yeah. What's new with you, buddy? Well,
I hate to bring the show down, but your what?
wall you are a lot of your your yeah uh... thanks
for noticing me uh... so last month my mom passed
away so i've been dealing with that and all that
that entails and everything else in dealing with
the dumbass government and dumbass lawyers who
basically apparently Once you die in the state
of Massachusetts, you're no longer considered
a person, so any lawsuits you have pending essentially
just die with you. So I've been dealing with
that. On a more positive note, I have found a
new comic book series that is by far the best
and most original thing I have ever read, and
it is not by DC or Marvel or any of the big companies
whatsoever. It is called... Huh, what? I said
that's cool. Yeah, it is called Robin Hood, R
-O -B -Y -N Hood. It is a female Robin Hood.
It's by Xenoscope Entertainment written by Pat
Shand and the first three volumes of it are basically
they take the Robin Hood legend we all know and
turn it on its head. There are things that like
Little John is there will scarlet is there the
sheriff is there Prince John is like all the
stuff We normally know from a Robin Hood story
is there But then they twist it and turn it and
oh, it's just so good I Just cannot recommend
that enough next month inside the pullback. I
want to be doing a full month covering the first
I think Almost the in pretty much the first entire
arc before the current ongoing had started uh...
absolutely love it i ladies and gentlemen go
check this out if you want something refreshing
something that isn't we have something that's
going to make you think you know every single
time and just the artist beautiful absolutely
lovin robin hood from zeal scope entertainment
uh... myself for what's new i've been getting
over a week old quick past week and a half coffins
finally starting to go away Which is nice because
oh my god, I almost had like I've almost had
like three asthma attacks with this and just
man You don't know fear until you can't breathe
So yeah, that sucked other than that though.
Um, I finished playing through the Mass Effect
Trilogy because I'm doing something for terrible
warriors. We're doing a Mass Effect role -playing
game nice. Oh, I've been doing that. I'm reading
the Mass Effect comics I'm not gonna get a chance
to power through the novels, but I got a pretty
cool idea to set my game between Mass Effect
2 and 3, so that's pretty neat. Also, I've been
reading a lot of my, like, older Pathfinder stuff,
which is the other role -playing game I actually
play in a group at my local comic book store.
Basically, I've now been nicknamed Shrek because
I'm a half -orc and I kill things, so all I need
is a friggin' donkey to hang out with me. Technically
you already have everything to be in the Shrek
universe you've got your wife And you've got
and you've got double D double D can be your
Eddie Murphy This week I've kind of discovered
that Me trying to start a new TV series is a
monumental effort. I have the first two seasons
of Game of Thrones. And I decided this week,
you know what? I'm going to sit down and watch
Game of Thrones. I'm finally going to see what
it's all about. Guess how long I got into the
first episode before I turned it off to watch
something else. Take a guess. Two minutes? Two.
20 seconds. I'm like, I'm not feeling this today.
I'm gonna watch Battlestar Galactica So I've
decided I never did finish the original Battlestar.
So I figure I'll watch everything and then if
I don't Watch Game of Thrones at least what I
have I have to do like 50 push -ups or something.
So I'm going to do it just after I do something
else for some reason So I finally want to see
what the hell people are talking about. I've
been putting it off for years. So It's about
that time. And that's what's new with me. Awesome.
So, really quickly, we'll go take a break and
we'll come back after the clip. But like you
said, he shoots all around Michigan. When David
Rambisa teaches his media class at Mott Community
College, he usually tells students to look for
film jobs in Michigan, but not anymore. I'm going
to be looking at having these students go to
Mott, but also look at them having to transfer
to an area where there's more employability in
that field. This comes after a state Senate panel
voted three to two to end film incentives and
shut down the Michigan Film Office. I think it's
awful. Rimbisa says ending incentives limits
opportunities for students like Guy Quartz. If
large budget... films are not coming to the state,
then the people that are working in this program,
the people that are learning this type of material,
are going to leave the state. But the legislation
sponsor, Representative Dan Lauer, is saying
in this YouTube video, Michigan's film incentive
program has failed. For every dollar we spend,
we only get 10 cents back. It's not time to just
say cut to this subsidy. It's time to close the
curtains once and for all. We're going to be
the only state in all of 50 states that doesn't
have a film office. And we're back. So what would
you guys like to talk off the palette that I
dropped on you guys like 10 minutes ago? Is it
too soon to make a joke about a certain film
because Tron 3 got derezzed really fast It disappoints
me in a level I can't quite describe but you
know what someone mentioned this to me today
The reason why Tron 3 got shit can is probably
because Tomorrowland bonged But that's tomorrow
land but that's tomorrow land that is Let me
explain why and how they put so much money into
marketing and so much money into filming it That
they couldn't I think they haven't made their
money back yet, or at least I don't think so
I think that means like a hundred and seventy
million domestic But they're losing money on
it not it probably as bad as the Lone Ranger
from a couple of years ago Which means Disney's
like you know what maybe live -action just isn't
working out for us So maybe we'll go back to
animated, because we never seem to fuck up there.
Plus, evidently, plus according to what I've
heard, the script for Tron 3 was garbage. Well,
if that's the case, they could have... There
needs to be trying something in the universe.
Now, I know not a lot of people fully enjoy Legacy
as much as I do, but there needs to be something.
They could have - Legacy was a bitch in soundtrack.
Yeah. They could have kept Uprising going. I
really wish they did! Or they could start a new
animated series. Take whatever you were going
to do. See, this is what they need to do. They
need to take that Blu -ray feature that was on
the Tron Legacy Blu -ray the next day, or whatever
the hell it was called. Take that part of the
story, center that as the plot of the beginning
part of a new animated series, and then go off
from there. Or maybe put it in a comic book or
something. Something. Yeah, cuz I agree. I'd
like to see how that story ends. I mean trauma
legacy. It isn't a Terrible ending to the franchise,
but it's certainly an unsatisfying one Well,
like I don't want to know what happens to the
characters at the end. I mean cuz you had the
Sun and Yeah, get out of the out of the grid
but I want to know what happens to his dad and
his clone Yeah, it'd be nice to see what happened
in you know, the grid like a month a year ten
years later and they also they hinted at uh What
the hell Rachel cool son, oh Yeah, they hinted
at the master control program still being around
or something so It would have been nice to see
how that ended, but I guess if Disney's losing
money doing live -action. I don't blame them
But then again, they have Marvel and Star Wars
to keep their profits super high So it's not
like they're it's not like their end of the year
is gonna suck But it's definitely gonna be a
black mark on it by saying Tomorrowland didn't
do so well. So we canceled Tron 3 Yeah, let's
see that see the thing is is How can Disney not
be like How can they not appeal into the hardcore
fan? Sometimes it's not the most profitable move
Okay, okay, yeah, I can understand that then
why the hell was Maleficent and Cinderella made
I mean, come on now cuz there's no cuz you need
female centric movies, too I agree with that.
But why do you need a female centric movie based
on an old animated film? Why not? Create a female
centric movie that is new and fresh and maybe
that's part of it too cuz I think Maleficent,
I think it did well enough at the box office
in terms of selling But I don't think it was
super critically well received as for Cinderella
Yeah, I don't I think that bomb too because I
don't remember anybody talking about it after
like the first week that it was I Forgot that
came out this year and that shitty marketing
for one But yeah, I mean I guess Disney's been
stung. I mean ever since the lone ranger bond
John Carter of Mars bomb like It's not a good
time to be making movies if you're Disney I'm
actually really surprised they haven't gone back
to the well and tried doing like the Mighty Ducks
again or something Actually really surprised.
I haven't done that yet. Give it time. Well,
yeah, I mean technically If they really wanted
to do the Mighty Ducks again, you could have
Matt and Foggy go out to LA in season three of
Daredevil. I would hope that they'd give him
a cameo, at least. But yeah, like, I guess for
Disney, stick with what you know, because live
action isn't doing so well now. I know they're
supposed to make a s - screen version of wicked
and i want to say disney's involved in that but
i'm not a hundred percent sure for those that
may not know wicked is the play about the wicked
witch of the west and east and the sisters and
all that it's essentially supposed to be pretty
badass yeah i've heard it's supposed to be pretty
badass i'd love to see it but i just never have
i don't i'm trying to think if it's i think it's
still on broadway i know it's not in toronto
but we did have like Like it was here in Toronto
for like a little while, but anyway, but yeah,
I guess for Disney Well, I guess we'll kind of
see what happens because I know they're still
filming pirates five So I wonder if that will
be kind of a test to see if they'll still keep
going with live action If pirates five doesn't
do amazing because pirates four I think did okay
But it wasn't as good as the first two Steve
has another thing down here, since we're talking
about Disney, I think it's relevant to bring
this up here. Is there a Disney TV show that
we want to see revived and which one would it
be? I can think of two immediately. I would love
to see them bring back DuckTales, or not DuckTales,
because they're already doing that. Darkwing
Duck. Superhero shows right now are so hot. And
I'd love to see them do Chippendales Rescue Rangers.
Like, those would be so easy to do now, and you
could actually have them be more high action,
as opposed to kind of goofy. Like, I don't know.
I mean, kind of give them, give Darkwing Duck
more of an, I'm not saying make them Batman,
but you can maybe put a little more Kim Possible
in there. You know what I mean? Maybe really
action oriented. Or with Chippendales Rescue
Rangers. I just want to hear what a new theme
song would sound like. Like there's the extended
version of the theme song out on YouTube I'd
love to see a group like Kirby crackle like cover
that or something or like one of like the big
like kind of nerd groups Yeah, those would be
my two picks. I guess an honorable mention Maybe
goof troop and maybe have max Looking after his
son and have grandpa goofy Hmm that could be
cool. That'd be interesting If only when I interviewed
Jason Marsden, he would have done Max's voice
for me, but sadly he didn't. Disney, I don't
know so much Disney, but the Muppets are always
doing these little things. I wish Disney would
do some little YouTube -based content like what
the Muppets do. Just every now and then, but
like what you're saying with... With max and
goofy. I think that would be cool Honestly for
me because i've been watching all the reruns
and dvr in most of the show honestly I want to
see kim possible have a season five There were
rumors, but I don't think any of them have actually
come true I I would love to see Uh, I have to
agree i'd love to see um dark wing dock return
just because it was such a great show and With
DuckTales being around. There's no reason why
they couldn't I'm kind of hoping they do an expanded
God, I hate saying this like a duck universe
At least give them like a one -off or something
Well, I mean you could still have in the DuckTales
universe Well, you could still have well, I mean
they did cross over quite a bit Over his launch
pad. That's right. Yep, because launch pad was
the the launch pad for both He actually started
out in DuckTales, I think, and then they moved
him. But then there's no reason why you couldn't
have them do that or have, you know, Chip and
Dale or Tailspin or any of those other ones kind
of tie in. The other show I would pick would
be Gargoyles. Yes! Oh my god, new Gargoyles could
be so awesome! The only show that Disney, like,
pretends doesn't exist. Which is so dumb because
it's actually, aren't they making, like, a live
-action Gargoyles movie in, like, a couple years?
I remember reading that, but I don't know whether
it was just someone saying yes or not. My god,
I never even thought about that, especially if
he could get the original voice cast back. I
mean, it's not like Frakes is doing much right
now, and Keith David, my god, you have to bring
him back as freaking Goliath. Voice of the Navy
and fucking spawn himself. I'm serious, that
guy's voice. Oh, I could only wish to have a
voice that epic you imagine having Spawn order
a pizza. I Don't know. I'm just kind of fanboying
now, but so still he does. Yeah Keith David is
amazing. He does um He's he's in Mass Effect.
Yeah Admiral Anderson he does He was in I'm trying
to think of those it was a Justice League episode
Hearts and minds parts one and two people yeah,
he plays oh He plays he plays desk, bro, and
yeah, that's a good pick His voice in that is
simply amazing. The funny thing is, I honestly
think the very first time I ever heard his voice
or saw him was as one of the military advisors
on Armageddon. In the film Armageddon, he's in
that too. First time I ever saw Keith David was...
It was actually the spawn Animated series by
HBO back in the 90s. I saw that before I saw
Gargoyles Yeah, the the thing with the the army
getting reverence that really kills me is one
of the lines he has in that I Wouldn't trust
these retards with a potato gun I could still
picture that because That whole game is like
that though, like there's elements where you
just like you gotta be shit Maybe you just want
a bitch slap somebody in the game There's a new
Batman on the block Tell me this is not as stupid
as I've heard it's actually very refreshing It's
the first thing Scott Snyder has done in five
years that I'm actually looking forward to Um,
okay, so It's it's actually yeah So from issue
35 to 40 was Scott Snyder's six part endgame
arc and Spoilers for anyone who hasn't read it.
Sorry I'm just gonna say it the crux of the ending
is essentially Bruce Wayne dies And we all know
quote -unquote comic book death, no one's actually
dead forever Except for Uncle Ben in the regular
universe at least Yeah, at least the Wayne parents
get to live In one universe true That's pretty
messed up So at issue 40 Bruce Wayne dies issue
41 It picks it up like the series just completely
starts over It I just read this like I don't
know a day ago or so because it came out Well,
yeah, it came out this week As this was recorded
I just read this and I'm really digging it. I
think it's interesting. I think it's kind of
cool. There's stuff in there where they go through
the whole what the suit is gonna look like and
they go through different variations of Batman
suits over the years. I know everyone's saying
and I've said this that it's a RoboCop Batman.
It's not really a RoboCop looking Batman. It's
more of like Holy shit Batman made an Ed 209
suit It's I'm digging it I'm you know And I have
not been the biggest fan of Scott Snyder's run.
I loved Court of Owls Death of the family was
meh Zero year I could completely do without an
endgame was damn good So yeah, I I because I
downloaded the images because I can't find the
article anymore There's there's a part where
it shows Gordon getting out of the the back saying
Somebody's telling him you'll be a new Batman
if you do this gym, so it's not totally retconning
It's it's recognizing that Batman's dead. Mm
-hmm But that he's gonna take over the mantle.
Yeah, and that the the the helmet like the mask
and everything, it's the same as what Bruce wears.
It's just that the rest of the suit is different.
It goes to the point of it's almost Batman Beyond
-esque, but it's completely jet black and it
connects to the cowl. There is no cape. He's
got a taser that's attached to a gun holster
that's around his leg. And then he's got a bat
symbol that's almost reminiscent of like a Stephanie
Brown bat girl. Emblem, it's it's black with
yellow outline Yeah, when you said there is no
cape all as I can hear in my head is Edna from
Incredibles no capes It's pretty interesting
let's see what we got we have god damn it give
me the no i don't need fucking gary oldman okay
wrong commissioner gordon what the fuck and that's
his initial reaction folks what the christ he
looks like he's on a fucking robotech why does
he have rocket launchers Because the company
that's putting this on is called Powers International,
which I can only assume it is Derrick Powers.
You know what the best part about this costume
is? His massive codpiece. You would. You know,
that's the first thing you would go to is the
friggin' codpiece. No, the first thing I went
to is rocket launchers, then I went to the codpiece.
Oh my god. God, I'm... Wow. And the image I've
got is looking at the new Superman, as well.
God, he looks like a fucking idiot. I am... What
happened to me? See, you used to be cool. That
was snot. Oh my God. I'm Batman, with a cut piece
of rocket lodgers. Don't fuck with - Jesus. They're
so done. This is why I don't read comics anymore,
but it does look actually pretty good having
Gordon as opposed to having Azrael batman. See,
that design, it looks like it would be a cool
toy. Like it doesn't look like a bat, it looks
like a toy. Whereas the Asriel Batman that was
like the 90s like jizzing all over your face
At least it looked deadly this like I said looks
like if Batman secretly joined the Power Rangers
or something. I Don't know man what happened
the comics man Politically correctness attacked
it. Yeah, I guess now and that's all I'm gonna
say Oh, man. Oh, actually, speaking of political
correctness this week, this really sucks because
I really used to like this artist and I just
I can't get behind what he's saying right now.
The artist is John Byrne, the guy who did like
X -Men, Days of Future Past, made She -Hulk cool
and all this shit. He went on, I guess this was
on his forum or one of the forums that he that
he's known to frequent. And he started saying
all this ass backwards retarded shit about Transgendered
people and how they're mentally ill and they're
like pedophiles or something Whoa, dude, shut
your mouth. You can't say that That's almost
as bad as that ooey bowl or you Did no one learn
anything from Caitlyn Jenner? I mean, come on.
You know, you hide your life for 65 years or
so. You know, I mean... But go ahead. But yeah.
Mr. Bowl. Mr. Bowl. I love how he... Okay, so
he's tried three times, I think, to get funding
for this movie called Rampage 3. Which evidently
the first Rampage is supposed to be halfway decent.
Actually, looking at it on Netflix, it's actually
got really good star ratings, so I'll check it
out, but anyway. He's basically, he goes on this
racist rant. He's like, you want to be like Indian
fucking supermuppets at Cannes. You want to be
this Jew looking motherfucker. And I'm like,
oh my God. But then the one video he released
earlier this week, he's like, you know what?
Fuck you and fuck Hollywood. You don't want to
give me crowdfunding? fuck you i have enough
money to play golf until i die and it's like
oh my god dude like you're not just burning the
bridges you're tearing them apart at the molecular
level like it's like he goes and it was i mean
i thought ubo was crazy before now i'm sure he's
certifiably bat shit insane see people like that
are people that i would never support just on
principle alone for being an asshole Like, here's
the thing, I like his movies because they're
so bad, they're enjoyable. Like, he's more like,
he's like a modern Ed Wood, but he's a prick.
Like - Yeah, see, I, one, I don't watch movies
like the garbage that he puts out. Two, I don't
want, like, if somebody's that much of an asshole,
like, I just, I can't respect him enough to even,
like - Give them the the satisfaction of a dollar
amount. Yeah, like I just I I just can't believe
though like he'd even He even tells people who
support him to go fuck themselves I'm thinking
Wow, dude, like that's so not the way to go about
it And I thought people like Tommy was so we're
fucking delusional. They got nothing on this
guy Yeah, I just I thought it was hilarious that
this guy is like getting so much press for being
an ass But like I hope that I hope that it crashes
and burns and he never makes another film It's
terrible because Honestly, he's done a key mostly
does video game movies, but he does them in Germany
as a tax shelter He's made blood rain. He did
House of the Dead 1 & 2 Far Cry which actually
stars the guys from screw attack Blood Reign,
he did a movie with Postal with the Fargus from
A Christmas Story, Zack something or other. Scott
Fargus? Scott Fargus, yeah. So he did that. Postal
was actually kind of funny. He did In the Name
of the King, like he gets all these big name
actors to come fucking hang out with him. And
his movies are just, they're such shit. One of
the ones he did, which is notoriously bad. was
Alone in the Dark based upon the Atari series
of games. And it starred Christian Slater, which
is okay, and Tara Reid, who I'm pretty sure was
reading her lines, off her arm in really badly
written pen. Because it's... She's supposed to
play this scientist, but she sounds like such
a total fucking airhead. Like, I'm pretty sure
she was high most of that time. But... Don't
know a man just the fact that a guy like that
can make films on Hollywood yet There are legitimate
directors who struggle to get film budgets blows
my mind I Think the last movie he had in theaters
I want to say I think in the name of the King
was the last one that had a wide release here
in North America Now it was like 2006 maybe seven
Some people just need to be kicked out of Hollywood
You know what? It is so true because there's
so many there's so many talented young directors
Turn the things like crowdfunding to get stuff
made and ultimately sometimes then they make
a big splash and good things happen Like ultimately
I would love to give the budgets of all the movies
and give it to the guy who made Kung Fury here
Here's 30 million dollars. Do something really
awesome. He probably would kick the shit out
of this stuff. Or here, here's 30 million dollars.
Make a couple films. Yeah, exactly. Like here,
you know how to work with small stuff. Make a
bunch of little ones. But yeah, I mean, it sucks
because there are so many directors in Hollywood
that just, they don't deserve what they're given.
And it's got to be discouraging for kids going
through film school saying, so Uwe Bull and Tommy
Wiseau can get work. But I have to struggle as
a PA for X amount of years. This ain't right.
Yeah, that basically ties into our class. I was
going to say, Steve, thoughts? It's true, though.
I mean, I mean, shit, we're going to be shooting
a movie this summer. I'm the editor, which that's
my choice. I just didn't want to write directly.
I do not envy you. Editing is the worst part
of doing film. You know, you say that, but I
don't have to deal with anybody. Well, you'd
have to deal with the director. That's it. Not
even the guy who's in charge of cinematography.
You don't have to talk to the DP. Yeah. Yeah,
I don't have to deal with him. I'm surprised
that the director has to deal with him. I'm I'm
in charge of sound and I'm in charge of editing
the overall project. I don't have to deal with
that fucktard because honestly, he's. I say that
in a nice way, but I don't think there's a nice
way. Let me put it this way. This guy, he's good
at what he does, but when he just doesn't get
the concept that you're trying to relay to him,
he makes it ten times more complicated than it
has to be. And so it infuriates me because I
have OCD when it comes to control and editing.
It's just things in general that I know I can
do better than somebody else. If I don't know
how to do something better than somebody else,
I don't care if they do it because then that
means I don't have to mess with it and I don't
have to feel bad about not doing well on it because
I didn't do it. But this guy drives me up a wall.
Thankfully, I've worked with the guy that's the
director and the writer of the film. And mind
you, it's a 10 -minute student film that's going
to go to film festivals and everything else.
So we haven't even started shooting yet. But
still, I've had classes with this guy before,
so I'm fine with that. But I would much rather
edit than have to deal with all the other BS
that's behind the scenes. Well, Steve, like I
said, since the film incentives are drying up
there, I'm trying to think where the hell they
even shoot a lot of TV. They shoot a lot of stuff
in Georgia now. Yeah, dude, you should work on
The Walking Dead. You know that they're shooting
Civil War down there, right? Yeah, but you won't
be done school by the time it's still filming.
It doesn't matter. You actually don't, you just
need to know somebody to get you into the business.
You don't actually have to. I know a lot of people
here in the Canadian end of it, so I'll let you
know if I ever hear anything. That was the first
thing I said when you said there's not a lot,
you know, where else could you go with a lot
of film, you know, where they shoot a lot of
TV shows. First thing I said was Van Friggin'
Coover. Well, Vancouver. Supernatural. I'd want
to work on The Flash. Shall we get this one?
uh... elephant uh... as well as your side out
of the room they are talking about uh... he is
very well who he is the goal for the first thing
i thought of when i saw this this for is the
secretary news is no no no we can't be the secretary
he is people's son because he could so play of
the you know an updated version of the go from
those posters to Yeah, I don't remember enough
about Ghostbusters 2 to even get that reference.
I think that's actually kind of clever, casting
Chris Hemsworth as that. If I did have to pick
someone else, I would have picked either him
or Channing Tatum. But that's not a bad choice,
though, all things considered. So, I don't know,
the more I hear about the Ghostbusters reboot,
the more I'm actually getting a little bit more
excited for it. I think it starts shooting in
like two or three weeks, doesn't it? I believe
so and they actually had to write him a beggar
part so he would actually be a part of the movie
Like I didn't even go to opening day for age
of Ultron I'll go to open I'll go for opening
day for like Star Wars one of the saving graces
for for Ghostbusters and people may give me shit
for it um despite the fact that everybody's flipping
out that oh it's all female cast um they're all
all of them but one or saturday night live alumni
which was pretty much the case from the original
ghostbusters yeah i mean you have to have faith
in the casting i mean i'm more excited to see
how bolus of mccarthy pulls it off because her
new movie spy is getting wicked Reviews So if
you give her something to work with she'll do
fucking fantastic Well if you give her a good
good movie like I mean the only reason why that
movie is getting good reviews is because it has
Jason Statham in it I would say that's the only
reason because McCarthy is funny when you give
her something to work with Well when you give
her the proper script Like you don't give her
a shit script if you give her something that
they know how to write her and direct her then
she's great But if you don't know how to work
with her, you're not going to be able to pull
it off. Yeah, I mean, for every one spy, she
gets stuck with three or four Tammies. You know
what I mean? Which fucking sucks, because like
I said, she's bloody hilarious. You just got
to give her something. The only person I wish
they could add into the script, if I had to add
one piece of Cassie, I'd love to see them add
Christian Shaw. She's on Bob's Burgers. Her live
action stuff, she does the show called Last Man
on Earth. And she's funny as hell on that. She
would have been a good pick as a receptionist
if they wanted to recast the Janine role. But
I'm cool with Thor doing that, too. It'll be
a lot funnier, honestly, just for the fact that
he'll be more of a straight -laced when they're
going to be more of a dur -dur -dur. and you
know what i'm really looking forward to because
that week comes out next summer which means in
february of next year we're going to start seeing
the toys from this i cannot wait to see what
the new proton packs are going to look like the
cosplay for this is going to be awesome i'm really
looking forward to seeing what what people do
because ghostbuster cosplay is nine times out
of ten really cool looking not entirely Super
expensive either especially if you're really
handy like you can build a proton pack. I think
for under 500 bucks The most expensive part is
the proton pack the flight suits like maybe 50
60 bucks Yeah, I'm kind of hyped for it so I
hope by Christmas time we get a trailer What's
the big Sony movie coming out around Christmas
time? Is there anything on our radars? I think
the only big movie is like Star Wars really.
Know what? I bet you we'll get first trailer,
Super Bowl. Super Bowl or Star Wars, one or the
other. In which case, it's going to be so cool.
I can see that. Now, you've got this here, Steven,
our little paste bit of love here. What's the
deal with Dumb and Dumber 3? Because if there
ever was a bad idea, I think that's it. Somebody
thought it was cool to interview him in Michigan
about it, because he's from Michigan. And talking
about his music and then... There was there was
talk of him being okay with doing another dumb
and dumber Which I'm kind of I mean he said there
hasn't been any talk about doing it one But he
says it wouldn't surprise me if him then and
Jim Carrey were in their 70s and got a phone
call to come back and play it again is the movie
was about 15 years too late. If you put that
out within the first seven years after the first
one, I think it would have been more successful.
Hasn't nobody remembered it? When did the first
one come out? 95 or 96? 94, I think. Yep, 94.
Same year as Ace Ventura 2. You believe that
was 94? You know what? I would have been okay
with another Ace Ventura movie. A third one that
didn't... I actually want another Ace Ventura
just to kind of tie it up. A third one that didn't
deal with bat shit, quite literally. What the
hell could have Ace Ventura done? I don't know,
maybe go see the polar bears or something. You
know what they did, right? They had the kid of
Ace Ventura basically in another movie. Like
they did Ace Ventura Jr. After Ace Ventura 2
and then they had this kid play Ace Ventura's
son and they had this other lady, you know that
basically the the Courtney Cox type character
that you know, except she works the zoo and I'm
not no, and then there's another he like he he's
in his high school He goes into a locker and
there's like this nerdy guy. That's like the
one that ace met in the first film that he talked
to and It literally goes through that whole thing
and then They're saying that because they have
Ace Ventura's grandpa there, which is his dad
And they all have the same stupid haircut or
hairdo And and they reference him saying yeah,
he went to go save an animal on the Bermuda Triangle
and it hasn't been heard from since Jesus But
okay, so we can get Ace Ventura jr. And uva bowl
movies yet. I can't get a decent Okay, okay.
Can you imagine though guys? Can you imagine
if an Ace Ventura 3 like a proper Ace Ventura
3 happened within the next three years? Imagine
what kind of shenanigans Carrie could be up to
with the whole age of technology we live in now
the the pet detective job would change dramatically.
And maybe that would be the whole crux of the
movie. He'd be like, where's your fancy tracking
chip now? It would be better than what we got
in Dumb and Dumber 2. I think honestly that they
could pull off an Ace Ventura 3 better than they
could a Dumb and Dumber 3. Yeah, than a Dumb
and Dumber 3. You had the right guy directing
it and writing it. Yeah, I could totally see
that. It's just yeah, I I'm pretty much with
you guys on that one That's depressing as all
shit. That's all I got to say about that, man
So My god Already Let's get you some good stuff
What are your guys thoughts on reboot? It gets
a reboot about time About friggin time Now cross
over with Tron and all will be forgiven. That'll
never happen. Man, Bob versus Tron would be so
cool. No, Bob versus Master Control. That's what
they need to do for like Screw Attack's death
battle. Have Bob the Guardian versus Tron. You
realize Megabyte's coming back, right? Who are
they gonna get to voice him though? I don't know
because I think it's kind of messed up that uh...
that Tony Jay won't be, because obviously the
man sadly passed away years ago, but I think
it's kind of messed up that they're going to
have the character or at least not modify him.
They're saying, oh, he's going to have a major
upgrade. And in the promo image that they actually
show, it's got this new kind of translucent guardian
that you can almost see through on the image.
in the reflection in the mask, it's got a megabyte
mask. It looks like megabyte, but it's altered.
The nose isn't there, and the eyes are almost
like Megatron's red slit eyes instead of the
eyeballs. And then they kind of squirt off the
jaw a little bit more. One of the websites found
it. I think it was the Mary Sue or whatever kind
of circled it. Zoomed in on the mask and then
showed a side -by -side with megabyte, and it
does look like megabyte I would think that they
should change them to like gigabyte or terabyte
now As his upgrade, but I if they're gonna go
with somebody either get somebody that's gonna
sound alike or you know change Change them enough
to where you know they can explain a little bit
You know deeper kind of voice or hell get Beast
Wars Megatron back Well, I don't and just deepen
it yeah Put it put a little bit different spin
on it, but he has the right tone to hit That's
why I said good David took my answer you asshat
I was Because he could have done like ha I was
once kilo con now a megabyte that would have
been an awesome kind of cross there, but well
and the funny thing is is him and Tony J we're
both in Mighty Max Hero and villain so I mean
it because he was skull master Tony or not Tony
J, but he was the foul Virgil yeah, he was Virgil
and then Skull Master was Tim Curry We get it
super soon, because I know they've been talking
about a reboot thing for like 10 years or something.
I've been following it. They were supposed to
come out with a movie in the early 2000s. But
what happened is Rainmaker bought out Mainframe.
Yeah. Which is around the time that Beast Machines
went off the air, too. It was about the same
time. But the funny thing is Rainmaker has revived
the Mainframe Entertainment So, you know division
to handle all of their TV Stuff which is what
it used to do anyhow. Yeah and then they're they're
going to I from what I've read they're gonna
have These four kids training to be guardians
and having to use, you know Technology focus
and you know team building and all this other
crap and they're gonna also go back to some of
the older characters, you know, like your Enzo,
your Donald and Megabyte. Some of the other characters
are gonna show up and it remains to be seen how
in -depth that's gonna be. But there's a ruthless
hacker known only as the Sorcerer bent on ruling
the world by controlling cyberspace. And there's
Vera, the last surviving cyber ping from the
original Guardian program, which means Bob's
probably dead. But there's nothing to say that
they can't revive them. Yeah, it is a computer
world and it's just ones and zeros. You could
be backed up by a floppy. So, yeah, I'm looking
forward to the show. I think now actually it
makes it for the perfect time to bring rebooting
mainframe to the Light of day. It'd be awesome.
I'm so looking forward to it Another thing that
you included in our little little conversation
box here. I just started reading about this Oculus
Rift and Xbox one Not gonna lie nerd boner because
if Oculus Rift supports Xbox to Windows streaming,
I could play GTA V in VR. Holy shit, is that
gonna be so cool. Or playing Call of Duty like
that. Obviously I can't emulate the XO movements,
but the possibilities for that, just amazing.
Like, I'm really hyped for this. Like, I'm just
trying to think of other... Forza with Oculus
Rift would be so cool. Halo 5, when that comes
out later on this year. Like, there's... Like,
it's gonna be just amazing if it gets pulled
off right. So, it's cool. Now they're gonna include
the Xbox One controller with it. Like I said,
it'll probably support Xbox to Windows PC streaming,
because Windows 10 comes out in like July, I
think. Which I think everybody gets for free.
I'm not sure whether mine is or not. I'm on Windows
7 professional So I'm not sure whether I get
it anybody with Windows 7 8 8 .1 gets it for
free My computer buddy my buddy little brand
and he's like an electrical engineer and pretty
much my PC guy like I Considered his word to
be the word of God. He's like don't do it. It's
a trap I'm so worried about all my old programs
not working. Well, I'll let you know because
what I'm going to do is upgrade my Windows 8
.1 machine first. Yeah. And then if that, because
I have all the same software installed on both
PCs. I have Windows 7 on my desktop. And if it
works out fine on that, then I will be upgrading
my Windows 7. What I would do is register for
the Windows 10 and then wait a couple months
and then see if it's stable and then get it after
it's been out a couple months. I would wait until
like maybe October to upgrade but actually register
for it now. Because that's that's kind of what
I'm I'm leaning towards because then they'll
have some of the bugs worked out Because it it
does seem like they're trying to rush it. Yeah
And and we all know that you know when they do
that it does bomb but I I also have confidence
in this this Windows copy too at the same time
because I think Because it's gonna be gradually
updated as it goes More consistently more like
more service packs kind of thing that keep patching
it and keeping it going Rather than having to
buy new copies. I think that I have more Enthusiasm
for it in that that regard plus it means I don't
have to buy a copy of Windows again until You
know They don't say zone or windows. You know
windows I think the only OS I've ever bought
because I've always got it free with my computer
Yes, I think Windows 98 SE I think I bought Want
to say I bought a copy of XP when I bought a
new laptop Although my favorite operating system
of all time is probably Windows 2000 NT I could
make that OS dance Man, I miss those days to
think those days are 15 years ago It's amazing
how far technology has come it really is I know
it's it's great. It's kind of like a more recent
episode of girl meets world where Corey's like
he's teaching the class about time capsules and
he's like You know 15 years. Wow. That's now
we were gonna see what we turned out to be like
and the next scene is he goes home to Topanga
and she said the first thing she says to him
is Tell me we're not driving to Philadelphia
to dig up stuff from 15 years ago And he's like
I got the show Let me see you so what did you
think about the Arkham Knight stuff you've seen
recently with the watching Neil Patrick Harris
play it. I think it's funny because they're all
acting in the game. I'm looking forward to it
more and more now. I actually should have my
copy probably next week because the embargo is
up next Friday, I think, so I'm really hoping
it doesn't suck. I'm blacklisting it from my
playlist. Not that I don't want to play it. Just
refused to spend the amount of money it is to
get the entire game Yeah Which Mike and I powers
and I had talked about it last week, but it's
it's total horseshit how they're playing the
the DLC and add -on For this game. Well, there's
another game that's getting more micro transactions,
which I think it's kind of bullshit, too People
have been playing a preview build of Metal Gear
Solid 5 Oddly enough placing my pre -order for
tomorrow Turns out you there's like a shit ton
of microtransactions in it. No one knows what
they do yet because obviously NDAs and the game's
not done yet But yeah, I'm not liking this trend
where You get the game and then you get other
parts later. I don't know I'm okay with it for
certain games like say Call of Duty where they
give you new maps and shit But if certain content
is already done It should be included but then
again we've talked about this to death before
I Don't know I'm hoping I'm hoping it's a good
game to end the like series on I'd like to see
Rocksteady do another DC hero if they could I
want a really good Green Lantern game. I just
don't see that happening Honestly, I think that
they could do a decent, like, arrow and flash
game. Yeah. And they can even set it inside the
current kind of universe sort of thing. That
way if they want to have Batman pop in with Kevin
Conroy, they can. That'd be pretty awesome. And
if you had it like open world, like Grand Theft
Auto or something like that, that could be pretty
cool. Yeah, because as the arrow you can swing
around, the flash can run around. That could
be actually kind of cool if they could pull it
off. right but i guess that's the that's the
million dollar question is can they do it but
i guess we'll kind of wait and see i mean i'm
like i said i'm hoping arkham knight is as awesome
as i think i'm one of those guys that will buy
all the content anyway which to my ever ever
shame i don't like supporting that type of business
model but at the same time i like what i like
and i want it now Well, see, I like what I like,
but I also have to buy it for the PC because
I don't have an Xbox One or a PS4. Yeah. Nor
can I afford it. So, to me, to spend that kind
of money on a game is ridiculous to me. So, like,
I'll wait a couple years, and I'll play it once
there's a game of the year edition, and I can
buy the entire game for 20 bucks. Yeah. Which
sounds kind of like... I mean, it's kind of bullshit
on my part, too, for not spending it to support
the developers, but... If they didn't charge
so much and kind of play this, you know, you
have to upgrade stuff as you go in the game.
I wouldn't feel like I'm being jipped and I would
probably buy the game, you know, for Black Friday
and then just buy the season pass. Yeah. But
I'm not going to do either because I'm not going
to support this kind of behavior for them. And
it's unfortunate that there aren't nearly enough
people who think like that for it to make a difference.
Because the game's gonna probably be one of the
best selling of the year. Without a doubt. My
guess is, if it's as good as I've heard, it'll
probably be in the top three this year for game
of the year. But, I don't know. Like I said,
I'm not a big fan of this whole piecemeal DLC
thing, but then again, I'm the same guy who will
spend 20 bucks on supply drops for Call of Duty,
so. I'm just as bad. However, in other happier
news for gaming stuff, Capcom is going to put
out a Mega Man Anniversary Collection. I think
it's for the Wii U and the 3DS, or maybe just
3DS, but either way it's like 15 bucks and you
get the first six NES games and some extra content.
That's not bad. I thought that was actually kind
of nice. Cap calmly showing a little bit of love
towards the blue bomber which E3 next week. I
only care about three words Mass Effect 4 Everything
else do not a fuck give Yeah, I'm waiting. I'm
waiting for your your fanboy banter on Mass Effect
4 because I like the series They need to make
a movie of that They made an anime, which takes
place between episodes 2, between Mass Effect
2 and 3. Yeah, I'll probably catch that after
I start playing 1 again, now that I realize that
if you play 1, 2, and 3 in order, then the story
actually builds better. Oh yeah, like there's
so many little breaks. From the same games, which
I discovered talking to you after the fact. You'll
love it, man. Once you go through all three,
you're like, wow, that was awesome. Although,
you do need to download the extended cut. Yeah,
I did finish Mass Effect 3, though. I did beat
it the other day. I stayed up till way too late
every couple of nights. I just couldn't put it
down. And then after I beat that, I needed a
little bit break of that type of game, so I started
playing Deadpool, which I just got. I have it,
and I haven't played it yet. It's sitting on
my shelf. It's it's like playing the old like
X -Men origins like Wolverine type game that
came out years ago Surprisingly way better than
the movie. Yeah, and it's that type of gameplay,
but it's it's a lot better Plus you have the
snarky remarks of Deadpool through the entire
game To the point of like you get to bitch slap
Wolverine who's unconscious at a point and it
just says You know press a to slap or B to walk
away and give up And, like, I just kept slapping
him. He's like, wake up, you bitch! And, like,
just starts, you know, keep hitting him, and
he's like, well, it looks like I'm on my own.
And then just a lot of the stuff that goes out
of the game is actually really fun. I don't foresee
me having long before I beat that game, only
because it's such a smaller universe. There is
one Marvel game that has never, I don't think,
and Mike can correct me on this. has never really
gotten a proper reimagining for the modern gaming.
And that is Spider -Man and the X -Men. I used
to love the hell out of that game. That game
was so fucking cheap and hard, but I love it.
Like those storm stages, fuck those. But yeah,
there hasn't been a proper Action the adventure
one the closest that it ever got Really? I guess
you could count the Marvel Alliance games or
shattered and that was more platformy though
ish We'll be x -men destiny Which was a terrible
terrible mistake or shattered dimensions You
know what, Shattered Dimensions actually wasn't
half bad. There's actually been quite a number
of really good Spider -Man games in the last
couple years. I really like Shattered Dimensions
and Web of Shadows, but I didn't much care for...
I can't remember. It wasn't Shattered Dimensions,
because that's the one where it's all the different
time periods. It's the one where it takes place
in a building. I can't remember what the fuck
it is now. It's gonna drive me nuts. Well, there's
this other spider -man game it had a neat concept
it pulled off really dumb spider -man friend
or foe. Yeah, that's Yeah, I'd love to see them
do another marvelous Capcom game, but I guess
we just got the reboot back in 2011 I think it
was Probably be another five or six years from
we see anything out of that but because the licensing
agreement expired between those two Companies
and all the way they'd ever do it again Hey Disney
you like money Yeah You know, I we can we help
you print it. Yeah, I Know this will never happen
But I almost wish we had a DC versus Marvel game
in the style of Marvel versus Capcom I would
pay so much money for that Because then you could
actually answer who would win in a fight between
Iron Man and Batman America the closest we have
to that now it's a game called Mugen it's like
an open source game. It's only for PC, but you
can have literally anybody versus anyway I've
seen Goku fight my little pony. I've seen Superman
beat the hell out of like the Naruto characters
like you can literally import anybody now some
characters are better balanced than others because
you know the internet but that's the closest
you can get right now but yeah I'd love to see
a proper licensed version do it and if I could
have a studio do it if it couldn't be the Capcom
people if you could have the same guys who did
Mortal Kombat X and uh injustice get them to
do it the um team from nether realm that'd be
halfway decent too but yeah i'd love to get a
good fighting game like that because obviously
that's my passion i love fighting games though
i'm no longer as good as i was a street fighter
4 now but hey street fighter 5 like this year
i think so sweet yeah this will be the last thing
i bring up because i know steve wants to kind
of close this out the craziest thing is We're
talking about fighting games. I went over to
my I literally have a laundromat in my backyard
Like the places I just walked five feet and it's
right there They have an original MK2 cabinet
The original Mortal Kombat 2 game in there I
sat there and tried to I spent like three quarters
and I sat there and tried to play as Liu Kang
I so cannot do arcade cabinets anymore One of
my friends has a Mortal Kombat 2 cabinet. It
was given to him as an incentive gift for the
company that he used to work for. And I remember
playing that game. I used to hustle kids in my
local arcade with Mortal Kombat 2 as Melina and
Baraka. I'd suck her kids in and say that I suck,
and then at events I'd start betting money. So
eventually Betsy get up to like 10 20 bucks because
you know you don't go any higher than that otherwise
you'll scare people away I made a comfortable
living in high school with that Because as Molina
I've got this combo I can lock it up for 70 %
and you can't block it Because I'm such an asshole
like I know exactly how many frames You have
you need the block and I know exactly how many
frames I can move quicker than you Oh, yeah,
I'm that dickbag studies the game too much, but
I love old school are our Arcade cabinets actually
one of the guys who lives down the street from
me Kevin We were talking tonight and he's figuring
out a way He has a board that's 680 arcade games
on one Circuit board and he's gonna figure out
a way to put it inside of an old -school Nintendo
case or an old -school Xbox case So I can literally
carry around an arcade in a backpack. It's gonna
be so fucking cool. He has one set up at my local
comic book store right now. And we've got the
original Marvelous Capcom on it. We've got Turtles
in Time. We just go down there and just play
the hell out of it. It's so cool. And he'll make
them the order. So if any of your listeners want
literally a legit arcade cabinet for like retarded
low prices, hit me up. Mike, at ThisWeekendGeek
.net, I'll put you in contact. Just don't have
Mike Laidman try to move it in and out of your
house for you. Yeah, I'd rather not die. We'll
have to tell that story another time. Yeah, let's
just say my arcade cabinet landed me in the hospital
at one point. That sucked. But on the bonus side
of that, I had a hot Asian nurse in my house
every day for three weeks. Totally... worth it
wait did you say on the bonus or on the boner
side both oh my god she was so hot oh my god
that was crazy literally man that was like a
fantasy country like lady just oh okay anyhow
on that note hot asian nurses All righty, so
with that, anything you guys want to pip out
before we go? I've been podcasting for six or
seven years now, and I'm really... in some financial
need since my mom passed away. My good friend
Nicole Hailstorm set up a Fundly page for me.
I'll have Steve put the link in there in the
AGU post if anyone wants to help me out because
I'm really struggling right now. Mom had no life
insurance and all that and everything else. So
there's that. Like I said before, Robin Hood
month is coming up inside the pull bag. I'm actually
working on something for this is a while down
the road but I'm trying to figure out names that
begin with F and I'm working on something that
will be inside the pull bag but it'll be something
that we've never ever done before and something
GCRN has not covered in by the time this happens
our seven -year history so that's gonna be interesting
Let's just say we're gonna be exiting off the
highway So that's all I get For myself this weekend
I should have a review of the Wii U games Splatoon
I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at what
I have to say I am working on a botched roll
this weekend. I might be recording a pair of
them Jamie and I are recording our e3 prediction
show you might see that later on today in addition
to nerd news and I got an interview coming up
with the people that designed the Pathfinder
card game which is surprisingly badass so that'll
be up in like about a week or two so other than
that terriblewarriors .com always a good time
over there and this week in geek .net you should
listen to it because Alrighty, and I'm going
to be messing with more of the superhero comic
thing that we're putting together. And then I'm
going to be doing the casting next week with
our group for our student film. And then on top
of that, next weekend, I'm going to BotCon. for
the first time Not sure how that's gonna go but
I'm going I Will I'm not spending any money other
than when I have to so that won't be too difficult
Yeah, you can just stare longingly at the Frank
Welker room Cuz yeah, I'm not spending three
hundred dollars to go are more than that actually
I'll have to find the post so you can put it,
and I hope it's a public Facebook post, but someone
on Facebook ... That's what they invented screenshots
for. Well, I'm saying ... I'll have to send you
the link so you can link it, but I'm saying that
someone on Facebook posted a total breakdown
of the ultimate fan ... Bot con experience and
this year's costs if you want everything is close
to basically four thousand dollars Wow, that's
like comic -con levels of bending you over Yeah
That's if you but but but I'm saying that's if
you want everything, you know what I mean? There
are ways to to get around all that but you know
