Science Fiction Draft

Hey, I'm Bryce Carlson, writer of Hit and managing

editor at Boom Studios, and you're listening

to Talking in Circles. You are now on the inside

of what I like to call the circle of trust. We

are all connected in a great circle of life.

You know something, Bert? I think you and I are

going in circles. It feels like we're going in

circles. The circuit is now complete. When I

left you, I was but the learner. Now I am the

master. Because it's a circle. Yeah, we heard

about the circle. Yeah, that's what a million

would change. Hi, this is Greg. This is Chuck.

And this is Dan. And we are Talking Circles,

brought to you by the Kast Radio Network. On

today's episode, we're going to do one of our

infamous drafts as we go into the genre of science

fiction. Yes, what we'll be doing is drafting

characters from science fiction, from TV, movies,

books, what have you, to try to create the ultimate

science fiction story. If you've not listened

to our past drafts, I'd advise doing so. We've

done some on superheroes, on action characters,

and what else would we do? Did a draft of people

on Ashley Madison. Yes, and yes, we've done that

as well. We've drafted people on that, which

apparently is all guys. It was like 9 ,000 guys

and like one, two girls. So there you go. But

before we get into the draft... They were actually

the fictional characters in that story. They

were. They were fictional characters. Before

we get to the drafting, how are things been going

for you guys? Kind of crappy. It was my turn

recently for the car trouble. Oh, no. And I know

you had your turn, but it was my turn. It wasn't

anything too terrible, but just had some really,

really annoying rattling going on in my truck.

And I had let it go for a couple of weeks because

I was, you know, due for an inspection and stuff,

and I just wanted to get everything done at the

same time. And this rattling was like so annoying

every time I. would stop at like a red light.

It would just be like vibrating so loudly and

it would make my truck sound like a total piece

of shit. Like it sounded horrible. And it was

the point where you could kind of like rev the

engine a little bit and it would alleviate it.

So I'm trying to like find that happy medium

like sitting there. Yeah, it's a red light because

like people like I was afraid people are looking

at me like, wow, what a piece of crap that is,

you know. And I finally got and then I look at

your car and like, oh, I finally got to the point

where I actually stopped at the drive through

one day after work at a fast food place. And

the girl couldn't understand what I was ordering

because my truck was rattling. Oh, no. She said,

could you repeat that? It's like clank, clank,

clank, clank, clank, like, damn it truck. But

I get ticked off at that. But I ended up getting

it fixed in a. Had some other things wrong with

it and you know ended up having to drop several

hundred dollars on it But well, you know, those

are the there's the beauties of owning a vehicle,

I guess Well, what was causing the clunking whether

that actually wasn't squirrel wasn't too awful

bad. It was actually something that Resulted

from a part they put on several months ago And

it just kind of worked loose and was rattling

against the frame one of the one of the exhaust

pipes They actually fixed that free of charge

because it was something that they did. But the

other things, I had to replace a couple of tie

rod ends because of our lovely potholes here

in Northeast PA. Just got the shit beat out of

it over the last few winters, so needed to change

them. That's a lot of labor involved and I know

mechanics get like $9 ,000 per hour. Yeah, not

not fun when you get the car troubles and you

end up dumping several hundred dollars into it

Yeah, cars cars suck. That's that's the that's

the theory of today or the the moral of this

podcast I better get my car flu shot then Yeah,

it really should it's it's it is contagious.

It is don't park next to mine Or use a car cover

if you do double bag it I was going with you

Greg pretty good went out to eat the the one

night at this new place in town. It's called

Oh town Wait, there's a new restaurant and in

the Northeast PA that seems Yeah, I know. We

don't have enough restaurants at this point.

But this one was interesting. It's a craft house

and it's like five minutes away from my house

or something. So I could get a whole bunch of

nice beers or something like that. But they also

had something interesting on the menu. They have

a couple of stuffed hot wings, which were pretty

interesting. I went with my mother. That sounds

interesting. Yeah, and well for an appetizer

we had some soft pretzels with their Beer cheese

that was really good. Maybe a little bit too

much Maybe a little bit too much beer in the

beer cheese I know that's weird coming from me,

but it was it did tasted heavily of beer So it

could use a little bit less of that then we got

our wings My mother got a hot wing stuffed with

mac and cheese and bacon. And I got Cajun hot

wing that was filled with an herb cream cheese

and bacon and jalapenos. That's a whole lot of

goodness. Yeah, there was a lot of stuff in them

and they were huge too. We only got like six

a piece, but they were very filling, especially.

Two words you said that got me interested, bacon

and huge. Yeah. I have bacon wrapped around my

huge bleep. Still interested, Chuck? Fork? But

frankly, I would have rathered to stick with

just regular hot wings for the most part. They

were good, but it just, I guess it was too much

of a good thing, I guess. My mom's were good,

but you weren't getting much of a taste off of

the mac and cheese inside because the hot sauce

was kind of overpowering that. The little bits

of bacon inside were good. It added a nice little

secondary flavor to that. And you could say that

about mine, too, because you could really taste

anything between the hot sauce and the jalapenos

that were stuffed inside. So mine was especially

spicy. If you ever get stuffed wings, I would

check them out. Definitely try and sample, because

they could definitely be different than this

place, because it's not a chain. Yeah, they were

good, but not that great. Yeah, I never had stuffed

wings. Wings are just good enough for me, but

hey. Yeah, wings are good enough for me too.

I'm not against stuffing food with food. Turducken?

Exactly, exactly. But I also know Greg you did

end up watching something this weekend based

off the name I'm surprised you didn't love it

because it does seem like something that you

enjoy, but I guess that that wasn't the case

No, it's it was a movie called Hellgate and I

should have done more research before I clicked

on it in Netflix because I was thinking oh hell

gate that sounds like right up my alley and the

the premise was interesting of a girl getting

murdered, raped by a biker gang and coming back

and haunting strangers that come into this town

kind of thing. I'm like, OK, cool. It's like

that one story that you heard. Like, what was

that book? Strange stories or creepy stories

to tell in the dark or whatever. The book with

the really creepy animations inside. But it was

nothing like that. I should have done some research

beforehand because the lead character, the lead

male romantic interest in this movie was from

a show called Welcome Back Cotter in the day.

And he was actually the character that was the

nerd on that, named, I believe his name was Horschach,

not Rorschach, Horschach. And he was really geeky

and everything, and kind of a small, tiny little

guy and not Overly attractive, especially in

movie terms. So that Casting was a bit beyond

me. The acting was terrible. The story didn't

like There was a girl. She didn't get raped,

but she did get murdered But then all of a sudden

this weird alien stone came into it That would

either if something was dead bring it back to

life as a zombie or if it was already living,

it would have different effects on you and everything.

The reason for them going to this town didn't

make sense. It was just Horschach going, I just

want to go up this way. Let's just go up this

way. I want to go this way. And like, he's just

randomly going up into this danger and everything.

So it made like zero sense. I highly don't recommend

it. There was a random Moulin Rouge type of Oh,

what's the name of that dancing where they keep

kicking their legs into the air? River dance?

No, not River dance, Dan. Can Can. It was a Can

Can area. Yeah. River dance is so ridiculous.

It was a random Can Can in the middle of this

movie. for no freaking reason, it didn't have

to do with anything else that was going on. But

in a lot of the movie was like that, like, why

is this going on now? Why is this over here?

Why are they going up here? Like it was just

all randomness. There was nothing scary whatsoever

in this film. The special effects were awful.

It was just a piece of crap. Usually. I like

movies that are so bad that they're good. This

one was just so bad that it was bad. I don't

even think if we all got together to make fun

of it, it would make it interesting. Do you think

it would be a good candidate for like, how did

this get made? Or is it just not even that? If

anybody's going to make it funny, I think they

could. Because I've also been recently started

watching the another season of the league that

recently made it onto Netflix. And that show

has two of the people from actually three of

the all three of the people from how did this

get made make an appearance in the league this

season? And it's just always Freaking hilarious.

So don't watch hell gate watch the league. Yes

my recommendation I also say don't watch Punisher

Black Widow something from Marvel. That's now

on Netflix as well I watched like the first five

minutes and I stopped because the animation was

just so awful. I couldn't stand it. It's just

Turn the channel. It's just that like really

generic Want to be anime animation? The lips

are so badly awfully dubbed and like I can't

I can't listen watch this I don't like it was

awful. So talking in circles not fans of anime

No, I think I can deal with some anime like but

not not that not that so I Don't I don't like

the fake anime like if you're gonna go go for

it. This just seems like it's an American studio

So why is it being so poorly dubbed? It doesn't

make any sense to me. I don't know Weird. But

what we're gonna do right now is take a quick

break and when we come back we're gonna get into

our science fiction draft. So we'll see you in

a bit. Hey, guys, this is JD from the In Session

Film Podcast. Every week on our show, you can

join my co -host Brendan and I as we review the

latest films that's out in theaters. It also

inspires us to discuss a top three list of some

sort. And we have a lot of other fun movie discussions

as well. It's always a blast. And we also have

a show on Fridays called our Extra Film Podcast.

This is a show that gives us the space to talk

about the latest Indies and art films and other

classics that we normally just don't get to talk.

Hello Geeks! All right, and welcome back. And

today we're going to be doing our science fiction

draft. If you've not listened to one of these

previously, but what we do is we're going to

be drafting characters. And actually, with this

being science fiction, we're going to change

it up a little bit. So not even characters, you

might even hear things like vehicles or items

or weapons, or it's going to be a whole array

of things. And what we'll be doing at the end

then is taking all those things that we've drafted

and trying to create and give you what our movie

or story would be and then at geocastreader .com

we're gonna have a poll to see which one you

think is the best out of all three of our stories.

So we've done previously in the past and usually

I end up losing and Greg and Chuck do prevail.

I think I won one I can't remember which one

it was but I forget. Hopefully and luckily there

is no auto draft in this one. So hopefully and

if you listen to our last week episode Hopefully

Chuck does not get kicked out of this draft room.

We don't know yet. We'll see how he behaves I'm

in trouble without that auto draft. I know I

know I know Chuck you are you are going first

though. Their after -order is gonna be Chuck

Greg and then myself and we're gonna we're not

snake drafting it We're just gonna keep that

And we're going to go, I think about six rounds

or so. So it should be fun. So a lot of pressure

Chuck with the first pick, looking at the entire

genre of science fiction. A lot of things to

choose from. What are you going with your number

one pick? Hmm. I'm going to go with the notebook.

No. Scratch that off my list. Wrong, wrong draft.

That's, that's the romantic comedy. draft for

next week. That was a comedy. It wasn't supposed

to be. Oh, I thought that was supposed to be

funny. I laughed the entire time. I fell asleep.

Now I kind of like the notebook. I'm kind of.

Yeah. Let me turn my guy card right now. So check

it at the door. I keep my guy card because I

definitely fell asleep to that movie. All right.

Yeah, there's definitely a lot to pick from.

There are some. more important pieces than the

one I'm going to select. But the reason I'm selecting

it first is because I'm afraid someone else will

take it. So the other ones I'm I'm not so worried

about as much. But my first selection in the

2015 sci fi draft is a character and that is

the character of Predator. Oof, I almost went

with the Predator, but I see you're clear, but

interesting, interesting. The Predator. Which

one are you going with? You going with, because

there's, I mean, they're all the same characters,

but, you know, I think the Predator 2 has better

weapons. I'm curious. Yeah, that's true. I mean,

I think the first one was... A better hunter

though, because it didn't get killed by Danny

Glover. Yeah, kudos. Up to go with the original.

Yeah, it was one of the new, like, new age predators

that was all about the technology, not about

the, not about the love of the game. Yeah, so.

Yeah. Very true. All right, Greg. I don't think

you've watched Predator, so I'm pretty sure that

wasn't on your list, but what is, what is your

first pick? I've actually seen some Predator,

but my first pick... is a TV show character,

a very beloved TV show character, a British TV

show character, a TV show character that's been,

well, it's had runs for decades. I am going with

the Doctor. Now, even more brilliant than Sherlock

Holmes, Doctor Who. Nice. Nice. I figured if

anyone's gonna go with Doctor Who, it would be

you. Yes, I figured I'd be the only one in that

realm. Interesting. Which Doctor Who are you

going with, though? I mean, I guess it doesn't

matter, but if you had to... Yeah, Doctor is

the same one. He just regenerates. But if I'm

gonna go for character traits and everything

like that to display during the story, I would

definitely have to go with my favorite Doctor

of David Tennant. All right. Yeah, my favorite

doctor is Chris. Well, what was the first one

in the reboot Chris Eccleston Chris Eccleston

because that's in a nice scene So I have seen

Matt Smith and other things and it was pretty

cool. So there you go. Yeah. All right Well my

first pick again similar Chuck I'm gonna take

a risk here because there's more pieces that

are probably more important than this character

but if there's one person on my board that has

a chance of getting picked it'd be this guy or

Technically guy I guess how you would how you

would go with it, but it is the one the only

RoboCop ooh My first pick I don't know if Any

of you guys thought about RoboCop, but I'll get

to why shortly, but that is my my first going

with the the hero of Detroit the man who still

hasn't gotten his rifle statue, but one day will

He was a backup on my list. He was one of my

primary ones, but nice guys Yeah, I'm going with

it for people wondering the original mobile cop

not the remake So I was gonna ask that I but

I kind of already knew the answer Very cool.

Alright Chuck. We're bringing it already back

to you already in second round. So you have the

predator Talk to your brother about it. What's

going on? Well, let's see I will deploy a similar

strategy as the first one and take what I think

would be the next next most likely character

I'd be afraid to be taken, especially by Greg.

I would be afraid Greg would take this character

because it's from an older movie. But my second

selection will be Gort, the robot from Day the

Earth Stood Still. Nice. I love that movie. Yes.

Wow. Yeah. I wasn't sure if anyone would go to

old school because but that's yeah. Very so the

predator in court. Yeah, interesting interesting.

So you got to think about that's a that name

You couldn't get away with nowadays. I don't

think Yeah, yeah, it sounds too like corny. Yeah,

it's just like sounds made up Here's my alien

robot gourd. Of course. That's his name. Of course.

Yeah, which sounds like a bowel movement I had

yeah Or or like a like a skin condition. Oh,

yeah, you got some port there. Yeah, you could

put a cream on that I remember I remember reading

something about like what GORT stands for and

it's like, uh, genetic organism reorganized.

I forget what the T is to be honest, but, uh,

yeah, I can't think of it technically. Give me

one second here. Uh, dude, to do tuberculosis.

Yes. Genetically organized robotic technology.

Yeah, that's not bad, actually. Yeah, yeah, kind

of makes sense. They were even into Akkinen's

way back then, so there you go. Yeah, yeah. All

right, Greg, moving on to you. You have the Doctor.

Who's joining him in your adventure? Well, I'm

not going with another person right now, because

you can't have the Doctor without his, uh, yes,

without his most useful I guess you'd call it

a device. It's kind of a character unto itself,

and that is the TARDIS. Nice, nice. I thought

maybe you'd try to be tricky and go with like

the DeLorean and just to freak people out. No,

he would fix that up to make it a better time

machine. Yeah, I guess the DeLorean or I guess

the TARDIS would give you... Yeah, and you can't

go anywhere in space with the DeLorean. The TARDIS

is time and relative dimension in space. So you're

you're hitting more things with it Alright moving

on to me my pick so this one. I gotta go with

this one I don't think it'll be on you guys's

list But I have to pick it because if not my

entire story goes to crap and that is I guess

some people my question of this is science fiction

But I feel it does because it's comes from a

remake of a science fiction film Me by John Carpenter

and that is the thing from the thing Fantastic

Four. No, not Ben Grimm. Not Ben Grimm, but the

mysterious creature from the thing that can kind

of morph into anything, basically. So it plays

a key role in my story. So we will get to that

shortly again. So I'm going to go with that creature,

and hopefully it works out for me. All right,

Chuck. We're already bringing it back to you

again. So you got the Predator you got Gort Which

would make an amazing buddy cop movie. So that's

where you're going. What's going next? Yes. The

title of my thing will be chips to Predator and

Gort on motorcycles That would be amazing random

visual and for whatever reason the Predator is

like a huge ladies man. He's like Ah, randomness.

Anyway, so yes, my third selection will be...

I guess it's not so much a character as a weapon.

And I have my Predator and I need to get him

a highly advanced weapon. And so I'm going to

bring him a Jaeger from Pacific Rim by the name

of Striker Eureka. Which is the strongest fastest

and most agile of all the Yeagers in the fleet

of in the Pacific Rim movie. So interesting.

Interesting. I just think the idea of Predator

piloting a Yeager is ridiculously badass. Yeah,

I just need it like riding a Raptor or something

like that. Just to make it complete. That's amazing.

That is pretty funny, especially if that Yeager

could like be invisible. That would be pretty

badass. Yes. Well, maybe he could project his,

uh, that technology over the whole thing. So

that'd be pretty cool. Yeah, man. See, we're

already running Pacific Rim too. You're welcome.

Yes, you're welcome. Welcome Gizmo. All right,

Greg. So you got Dr. Who you have as TARDIS.

What's coming next? So for my next pick, I choose

from one of my favorite all time. favorite uh

sci -fi movies and that would be the fifth element

and i'm going to choose the fifth element of

li lu nice nice i figured you'd go with something

on the fifth element i wasn't sure what but actually

i did plus her orange hair with the blue of the

tartis will be a striking color combination she

would be quite the companion would she not right

okay looking where this is going i'm looking

where this is going so All right. Well, Chuck,

you picked a vehicle type of weapon. This, I

guess it's kind of a vehicle, but it's more of

a transportation device. And that is, again,

from a science fiction film from the 90s. One

of Kurt Russell's best hairdos, I would say comes

in this movie. And that is the Stargate from

Stargate. I thought you were going to choose

his mullet. Choose his mullet from Which one?

Skate from L .A.? Yes. Kurt Russell has a lot

of great hairdos, but I... That I feel like the

one in in stargate is this it's just special

because it's kind of like a military cut But

not quite at the same time. It's like it's a

little weird but But yes a stargate from sorry

for those that don't know is this Device that

allows people to kind of I guess travel through

space and dimension It's not clear defined But

I know they had the TV shows as well which kind

of let them travel through a lot of different

areas But for my purposes it's gonna let my characters

go into different dimensions because I am a sucker

for that, apparently. So I almost did time travel

again, but I figured I'd stick away from time

travel this round. So far I have the Stargate,

I have the thing from the thing, and I have Robocop.

So I'm guessing you're thinking my story is going

to be random as crap and possibly, possibly.

But Chuck, you're a little bit more random too.

You have Yager from Pacific Rim. You have the

Predator. You have Gort. What's going on next?

Next, this is going to shock you, but Dan apparently

displayed some, actually, Dan and Greg displayed

some amazing powers of clairvoyance because I

am selecting Snake Plissken. Nice, that is, wow,

man, that went in an unexpected direction. Did

not expect Snake Plissken. That's right. You

have the man. Actually, it's funny because he's

maybe the first character in our draft history

that's been taken in two different drafts because

I drafted him in the action hero draft. Oh, yes.

Yes. So this is a new season. So, you know, it's

not a keeper draft. We don't get to keep characters

from one to another dynasty draft. No, no. After

after this season, we we draft to start all over

again. So. But all right, man, I have no idea

where you're going. I have no idea either. When

you draft this, like I draft my football team,

so. All right, Greg, you have Leelu, you have

Doctor Who, you have the TARDIS. What's coming

up next? Man, it's going to be so difficult this

round. I think we need, my team is so technical

at this point. I think we need something a little

bit more, a little bit more magical. So I'm going

to go with one of the - the most adorable characters,

I guess you would say. I'm trying to be a little

less pervy from a magical movie, magical series

of movies. I'm going with Hermione Granger from

Harry Potter. Nice. Wow, Harry Potter. Yeah.

Good, good call. Thank you. So, hmm, I'm surprised

you didn't draft yourself in this movie so far.

Well, yeah, we've got, well, except for Doctor

Who, which I guess I'd have to hope for him to

Regenerate into a woman. Yeah, it's it's pretty

sexy here with the lilu and her mighty granger

Yeah, I like you where you're going looking where

you're going for this next pick again Ghost movie

that you talked about not too long ago Greg that

you watched for the first time and it's a key

component to my draft So I'm glad I got it. I

was worried if I was gonna maybe a sleeper per

se, but I didn't think You'd pick this character

up and that is I'm gonna go with the xenomorph

the the aliens from alien specifically most likely

the the alien Queen if I had to get a specific

character But I'm gonna go with the xenomorphs

as a part of my movie because they're gonna play

an important role a very vital role So so is

it xenomorph in time? You know more if this wasn't

already called science fiction draft I would

so call it xenomorph in time because that is

amazing But I would love to see the a parody

of the Power Rangers with xenomorphs. It's like

They should have a like a black Power Ranger

that his his sword is like the alien Yeah, and

then like it comes out from the mouth of those

the smaller sword. Yes, she's like acid and stuff

Seriously Power Rangers again, we're writing

the Power Rangers Power Rangers just crossed

over into the horror genre What kind of like

that fan film that was made not too long ago?

All right Chuck so You surprised us all going

snake pliskin. I thought I kind of had an idea

where you're going and then you took a left turn

So you taking another turn or where you going

now? Well, we're gonna take a another sharp turn

as only this vehicle can do I need to get a badass

weapon for my badass character of snake pliskin

So I'm gonna bring him a light cycle from Tron

legacy You imagine snake pliskin on a light cycle,

I mean that's just awesome that yeah yeah yeah

that is that is amazing i wish if i had photoshop

skills i would try to make that happen but i

don't yeah i apologize that is pretty that's

pretty kick -ass pretty kick -ass all right greg

moving on to you hermione last time you're gonna

go with ron this time uh no we don't need ron

hornet in on the action I will go with a dude,

sort of. You guys, well, Chuck has his Jaeger

from the most excellent Gizmo del Toro movie.

I'm going to go with an even better director,

not with his Autobots. I'm going to use Optimus

Prime. Are you serious? God damn it. Wow. Did

not expect that at all. Thank you and good night.

Yes. Wow Mike Man, I was like, well, we're having

no crossover. This is and then boom. Sorry That

that happens. Oh, man, I thought there's no other

transformers I can pick Very nice points taken

optimus prime that was unexpected. I'm like,

oh, I thought you're gonna go hellboy and then

no better director Okay a Whole series that was

my mental emotions that just happened. So man,

it's like that It's like I finished draft all

over again feel like Ryan Matthews was just taken

for me All right, well Man, all right, so that

switches things up for me a little bit. I could

go a few directions here So we have two more

picks. This is my this is the fifth last round

is next round and kind of important I think I'll

stay the course though. I think I'll stay the

course and You know optimus prime is good. Let's

be honest the one character that does work in

all of the transformers movies It's not optimus

prime, but it's bumblebee And I think I'm gonna

go with bumblebee because I think he's truly

the heart of the transformers at least in the

movies wise So I'm gonna go with him and add

him to my team. So there you go again miserable

Yes, I quoted Yeah, so i'm going to go with bumblebee

from and and hopefully we'll see how it goes

next round your next pick is tuna uh chuck last

round already up to the last round i'm going

through this rather quickly but so you have snake

cliskin you just drafted uh a late cycle you

have a jaeger you have a predator and you have

the gort what what are you gonna put what else

are you gonna get The complete the draft. I mean,

I'm going another random thing, but this is kind

of another classic science fiction movie. Not

a real old school one, but one from my younger

years. I'm not taking a character. I'm taking

a specific item. And that is the memory implant

machine from Total Recall. Really? Yes. I believe

it's Recall Incorporated with a K. They have

the the memory implant device that they put Arnold

Schwarzenegger's character in in the movie But

I'm gonna use that in my movie I am intrigued.

I'm intrigued Greg are you gonna keep the total

recall going and pick up the three boob chick

from total recall? Are you gonna go someplace?

Automatic win Those look really hard, though.

I'm going to go with another female character,

this time from TV. Joss Whedon property. I am

going with Echo from Dollhouse. Interesting.

Is that Summer Glau? No, that is Eliza Dushku.

Again, I always confuse those two. They're like

the same person. No, they're not. Totally not

the same person. All right. All right. So my

last pick and I'll give a hint, but I needed

to go with something that was robotic to kind

of keep with my theme and Chuck and Greg kind

of stole my thunders already. I thought you were

going to call us robotic for a second. Yes, they're

actually robots. funny story, spoiler alert for

the end of the podcast. They've been robots this

entire time. No, so I, you know, I have a transformer,

but actually I needed something even bigger than

a transformer. And Chuck, you did get the most

advanced Yeager, but I don't think you got the

best Yeager because I'm going to go with Gypsy

Danger as my last pick because you can't have

science fiction film without a gigantic robot.

So that's my last pick is Gypsy Danger. Nice.

Very nice. All right, so that that is the end

of our picks but now you're wondering these just

seems like random characters So what happened

next? So this is when we get into well, what

are we gonna do with all these characters? What's

our story? What's our story's name and how how

goes it? So Chuck starting with you again, man

You you got a whole assortment of things from

characters to implants to robots. What's gonna

happen in your story? Well, mine's pretty random

as you said Kind of just thought it up before

the draft. I was writing down a whole bunch of

sci -fi movies and just seeing which ones would

kind of go together. What I thought would be

some cool combos. Um, and it's always fun to

do that because it comes out really random. So,

um, I guess, well, I guess kind of what my plan

was is that, uh, we're in, uh, sort of the world

of a sneak pliskin. He's sort of like, uh, the

central character once more and This time in

Earth when the criminals got so bad that they

designated the entire island of Manhattan to

contain the criminals, this was sort of a turning

point in history. And it's a turning point when,

you know, Earth's civilization really got barbaric

and sort of regressed in their civilization,

but heightened in their violence and things like

that. So naturally, with those levels of violence

increasing, that would sort of entice the interest

of the predator, who is a natural born hunter.

And they have this new, huge, improved weapon

called the Jaeger. And this particular predator

is trained to pilot the Jaeger very effectively.

And so he goes to Earth to... basically hunt

down some of the the fiercest and most violent

people on the earth like that are contained within

sort of this prison made in the island of New

York and So when you have them start attacking

obviously the government can't have this, so

they send in Snake Plissken once again to try

to deter the attack of Predator and his Jaeger.

And they also have sort of a backup plan in case

he doesn't work, which is the indestructible

robot of Gort, who's extremely powerful and no

one really knows his limits. So when Snake Plissken

kind of realizes the powerful enemies going up

against, he sort of takes control of Gort and

takes it upon himself to use him. And when Gort

and the Jaeger are really going at it and things

get really, really hairy. And as we know from

the day the Earth stood still, Gort has the potential

to destroy the entire planet. So what happens

is the government needs a way to prevent him

from doing that, because everything would be

lost. So we find out that They actually implanted

a memory into Sneak Plissken of those three famous

words to stop Gort, which is Klaatu Barada Nikto.

So he's so he speaks those, obviously stops him

from destroying the planet and somehow defeats

the predator and the day is saved. Right. So

you get standing clever to help them out. Yes,

he gets he gets you know, somebody that's an

expert in killing predators and You just thought

of that just before we started I feel like an

idiot because I was thinking one forever and

mine's not nearly as creative as that I don't

know. I thought that was pretty lame. So Do you

uh, I do you have a name for it or do you just

gonna go with The name the name is really tough

part. I guess if I could throw one together.

Oh and I you know, forget to mention that Snake

Plissken is, of course, is utilizing his light

cycle and all of this. And he's just, he's just,

you know, taking sharp corners and, you know,

taking people out and basically de -resing people,

even though we're not in a video game, but it

still works. That'd be a good way to take out

the predator though. It might help fight against

his invisibly. Absolutely. I think that's how

he ends up taking them down. You know, it's,

it's kind of like a light saber. attached to

your motorcycle. So exactly. Just pretty awesome.

So I don't know. I think I think it's going to

be some sort of escape movie. I think maybe we

could call it. Let's see. Escape from total recall,

I don't know. Excuse me. That's not bad. That's

not bad. Something along those lines. I'm a little

shaky on the name. Names are always the hardest,

especially when you're picking random characters

from different movies. We can always fill that

in later when we put it up on the page. Exactly

exactly. Yeah, my I'll get to mine in a short

bit, but Greg moving on to you So you got you

got a lot of you got a little bit of fantasy

in there as well. You got a lot of Interesting

character. So what's going on in your story my

story? I actually thought of While we were picking

because I had no freaking clue what I was doing

but Daleks from Doctor Who have teamed up with

mr. Shadow from the fifth element and as we all

know the tea kind of comes in and tries to destroy

planet Earth. So him and the Daleks are going

to different dimensions and attempting to take

out different worlds together, all through many

different dimensions and different spots in space.

And so Doctor Who goes out and gets this whole

team together. He puts the heart of the TARDIS

in Optimus Octo - Optimus Prime and they set

off to save all these different worlds. That's

it. That's all I got. It was very simple and

the Daleks are moving the Mr. Shadow around and

there's a whole bunch of different Daleks. There's

the biggest army of Daleks you've ever seen.

So you've got Lilo kicking ass, but she's also

going down on the planet into the... Pyramids

and places and getting this they have to collect

all the stones and everything. It's a very expansive

movie I Like it her money's there doing her magic.

Yeah, that's right. They need a little bit of

magic. She's Protecting things and throwing off

all their science -ness Is that your title science

-ness? No, I think I'm just simply calling it

the heart of the TARDIS I'd buy that movie ticket.

Yeah, I I mostly like it for having the heart

of the TARDIS installed into Optimus Prime That

is pretty badass. I'm not gonna lie. You might

get points just for that. Yeah, I'm hoping All

right. Well with my story one of my first picks

was the thing and from the thing and what my

movie does is kind of combine that with aliens

the xenomorphs what we find out is that the thing

is actually the creator of the xenomorphs and

that He kind of leads them. They're kind of his

army. So what he does is using I guess he I don't

know what you would call the thing because it's

can be whatever but and it what it does is using

its ability to mimic and become anything it goes

into Secret locations with world leaders and

ends up placing these eggs all across this World

and what happens is people start noticing, you

know, Xenomorphs are taking over They need to

figure out a way to fight back But with the thing

it can become anything so you don't know who

to trust Well, they find out the one thing that

the thing can't transform into or characters

that are robotic characters, those that have

robotic parts. It can change into animals, it

can change into humans, but it can't change into

robots. What this world does as a last -diss

effort to fight against the xenomorphs is using

Stargate going to different universes and galaxies

to try to get robotic creatures they can use

to fight back against the xenomorph army. The

first creature they get, of course, is Robocop

and then also Bumblebee. And lastly, you know

using and using these different creatures and

then the fight against the most gigantic alien

queen that we've ever seen they get gypsy danger

so imagine a gigantic monster battle between

the alien xenomorph and one of the creatures

in uh gypsy danger from pacific rim you're gonna

get that you're gonna get robocop kicking the

crap out of xenomorphs you're gonna get Bumblebee

kicking crap out of xenomorphs. It's gonna be

a whole lot of crap going on a whole lot of destruction

going on So the name of my movie is gonna be

pardon or destruction. Nice So again title doesn't

mean anything, but I just like the idea of the

thing using its influence in different areas

and then Having the fight against robotic creatures.

So I was trying to think of other robotics I

almost went the Terminator, but I since that's

kind of it can be a villain too. So in The Terminator

Robocop combination has been done before but

Terminator but imagine freaking Robocop driving

Bumblebee around that would be meant Robocop

getting out of Bumblebee like instead of his

cop car Maybe Bumblebee that's kind of badass.

That is pretty cool. Yeah So mine is pardon our

destruction So luckily you all get to vote in
