00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:00.359
<v Speaker 2>to it. And this week is all about Paris Sites

<v Speaker 2>and fairy Tales. Sincerely, both titles are both. How's everyone doing?

13
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:28.879
<v Speaker 2>that weekend here as well. Something to look forward to

14
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:31.840
<v Speaker 2>that's important, considering the two things I was looking most

15
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:35.519
<v Speaker 2>forward to have arrived. We're discussing them tonight. Should we

16
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:39.719
<v Speaker 2>do weapons or Alien Earth? First? Good point, We're doing neither.

17
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.519
<v Speaker 2>Psych Actually, it's time for the mail.

18
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:45.959
<v Speaker 3>Round.

19
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:52.840
<v Speaker 2>Just a reminder you can contact Midnight Viewing and me

20
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:57.439
<v Speaker 2>and Ripley at Midnight Underscore Viewing. That's our Instagram. That's

21
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.519
<v Speaker 2>our only Instagram. The fan the Malone account is long gone,

22
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:03.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm afraid, so you can get in touch there or

00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:05.920
<v Speaker 2>at Father Malone seven to one at a gmail dot

24
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:09.560
<v Speaker 2>com or the Patreon channel gone. A missive from Richard

25
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Dorta letting me know he's a new listener who found

26
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:15.120
<v Speaker 2>us via the Night Mister Walters podcast. That is the

27
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:18.400
<v Speaker 2>podcast run by frequent co host and show composer HP.

28
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:22.520
<v Speaker 2>It's about the television series Taxi. Apparently frustrated with the

29
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.919
<v Speaker 2>infrequency of Night Mister Walter's episodes, he had to seek

30
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:29.080
<v Speaker 2>more frequent lands and we are nothing if not frequent

31
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:33.360
<v Speaker 2>here at midnight viewing. Welcome aboard. Richard Dallas Norville wrote

32
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:36.719
<v Speaker 2>in to let us know he's got yaucha fever. HP

33
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:40.240
<v Speaker 2>and I are covering the Predator film series. That's yaoucha

34
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:43.680
<v Speaker 2>fest every other Friday. Dallas has been revisiting the flicks

35
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.719
<v Speaker 2>and I convinced him to watch Prey and his life

36
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:49.039
<v Speaker 2>is now much better by the way, Yes, Dallas, you

37
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:51.560
<v Speaker 2>should see the movie together immediately. The more I think

38
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.120
<v Speaker 2>about that film, the more I like it. Dallas even

39
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:57.879
<v Speaker 2>shouted out HP for his work on the show. Amazing work.

40
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:01.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if he's doing amazing, it's work been like,

41
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:05.159
<v Speaker 2>definitely always great to hear from you, Dallas. Shane Mackie,

42
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:07.919
<v Speaker 2>haven't heard from you in a minute. Stomped into chat

43
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:11.599
<v Speaker 2>a little about that misbegotten Saturday Night movie from last year,

44
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:14.400
<v Speaker 2>and since you're looking forward to the weapons review, I

45
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.240
<v Speaker 2>guess we'll do it first. Oh guess and guess not.

46
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:20.759
<v Speaker 2>I've been checking the comments on Spotify. That's new to me.

47
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:23.120
<v Speaker 2>Sorry if you've written to me prior. I'm trying to

48
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:24.800
<v Speaker 2>answer them all. But we've got like one hundred and

49
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:28.560
<v Speaker 2>eighty episodes, so it's taking a while. Trish Dabkowski wrote

50
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:32.439
<v Speaker 2>in about another yahoucha fest flick, Predator two. We mentioned

51
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Kent McCord is in it. He was once the star

52
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:36.680
<v Speaker 2>of Adam twelve. Trish wrote in to remind us that

53
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:39.759
<v Speaker 2>he was also on the television series Farscape. Thank you

54
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:42.520
<v Speaker 2>for reminding me. I had intended on bringing it up.

55
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:44.960
<v Speaker 2>It's just that when I start talking Farescape, I can't

56
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.759
<v Speaker 2>really shut up about it. Kent McCord played the lead character,

57
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:50.120
<v Speaker 2>John Crichton's dad. He was great in it. You know

58
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:52.400
<v Speaker 2>who I loved on that show? I mean, everybody but

59
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:57.280
<v Speaker 2>Sikkozu the Leviathan expert. God damn she was sexy all

60
00:03:57.319 --> 00:03:58.360
<v Speaker 2>the women on that show.

61
00:03:58.479 --> 00:03:58.680
<v Speaker 3>You know.

62
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.400
<v Speaker 2>I once saw Gig Edgeley at a comic con once,

63
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:03.240
<v Speaker 2>and it was before they opened to the public, and

64
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:05.080
<v Speaker 2>she looked over at me, and I looked away like

65
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:07.360
<v Speaker 2>a fucking schoolboy. You know what. The other great thing

66
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:09.680
<v Speaker 2>about far Escape is see what I mean. Thank you,

67
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:12.479
<v Speaker 2>Trish lovely to hear from you. Thank you for listening.

68
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Derek wrote in about the Patreon show HP Hates Me.

69
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:19.000
<v Speaker 2>That's the show where HP picks old pieces of entertainment

70
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:21.600
<v Speaker 2>that are barely tolerable in one way or another and

71
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:24.920
<v Speaker 2>makes me watch them because he hates me. We did

72
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:27.720
<v Speaker 2>one about the Billy Crystal nineteen eighty six special Don't

73
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:31.079
<v Speaker 2>Get Me Started. Derek asked, what does a near forty

74
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:34.360
<v Speaker 2>year old HBO comedy special by Billy Crystal say about

75
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:38.759
<v Speaker 2>you who cares get over yourself. I don't know if

76
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:40.680
<v Speaker 2>I can answer your questions without a few of my own,

77
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.759
<v Speaker 2>but I'll do my best. It's supposed to say about

78
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:45.720
<v Speaker 2>me that my friend chose a special for me to

79
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:49.560
<v Speaker 2>watch and then we reviewed it. I don't expect anyone

80
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:52.319
<v Speaker 2>to care. And while I have tried on numerous occasions

81
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:55.240
<v Speaker 2>to escape the skin. I truly cannot get over myself.

82
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.160
<v Speaker 2>But I'm actually wondering where you're coming from. Is there

83
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:01.680
<v Speaker 2>something you'd prefer us to cover? Please forward it along.

84
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:06.839
<v Speaker 2>And finally, tenth Letter wrote in about our Fantastic four coverage.

85
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Here's what he had to say. Uugh, sounds silly, but

86
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:13.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm not into man boy movies. So Reid has a mustache,

87
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:16.199
<v Speaker 2>which I don't think he's ever had in the comics

88
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:20.879
<v Speaker 2>because mister overexposed Hollywood star won't shave. I see this universe.

89
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:25.959
<v Speaker 2>That universe multiverse crap is just bad, inconsistent, uncreative writing.

90
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:28.600
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for the sum up. Like every other video game

91
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:31.680
<v Speaker 2>esque movie in existence, I know I can quite safely

92
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:35.480
<v Speaker 2>hard pass on this. I prefer my comics in book form,

93
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:39.600
<v Speaker 2>and I salute you, my purest friend. Keep turning the pages.

94
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.560
<v Speaker 2>It's so fucking satisfying, isn't it. I think Marvel made

95
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:44.759
<v Speaker 2>a big mistake when they took that sound of pages

96
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:47.360
<v Speaker 2>whispering out of their production logo. Let me know a

97
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:52.639
<v Speaker 2>title worth looking into, tenth Letter. That's a j James Jason,

98
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:57.319
<v Speaker 2>Jeremy jehosaphat that's a g okay that's the end of

99
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:00.000
<v Speaker 2>the letters. But let me just mini review something really quick.

100
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:03.360
<v Speaker 2>I had intended to do an entire episode about Red's Sonia,

101
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:07.560
<v Speaker 2>but then I saw it not good. Here's their one innovation.

102
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:10.680
<v Speaker 2>That character always had this weird catchphrase about how she'll

103
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:12.319
<v Speaker 2>only go to bed with the man who can't defeat

104
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.839
<v Speaker 2>her in combat. That's gone. As for the rest, the

105
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.800
<v Speaker 2>lead actress is game, but she's struggling mightily because the

106
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:22.279
<v Speaker 2>script is poor and the action is sub hercules the

107
00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:27.560
<v Speaker 2>legendary journeys. It's very volumetric, if you know what I mean. Sorry, Red,

108
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:36.759
<v Speaker 2>hit it, HP, Thank you HP. You know Jerry Folwell

109
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:39.639
<v Speaker 2>frequently wondered when Mulder and Scully were going to do it.

110
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:42.279
<v Speaker 2>Let me tell you about my first experience with Alien.

111
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:44.199
<v Speaker 2>One of my best friends as a young boy was

112
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:48.399
<v Speaker 2>Brian McMahon. Brian was my horror buddy. He was as

113
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:50.800
<v Speaker 2>obsessed as I was with all the fucking horror movies

114
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:53.199
<v Speaker 2>we could get our hands on, and Brian's parents weren't

115
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:55.959
<v Speaker 2>so finicky when it came to toys, so of course

116
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.680
<v Speaker 2>he had a sowd Off shotgun toy that ejected plastic

117
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.120
<v Speaker 2>shells when you broke it open, and yes he had

118
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:05.319
<v Speaker 2>the requisite Aurora models of Frankenstein et ce. But best

119
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:09.399
<v Speaker 2>of all, he had the alien action figure from Kenner

120
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:11.800
<v Speaker 2>the Star Wars people, so you know you can trust them.

121
00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:16.839
<v Speaker 2>It was eighteen inches authentically detailed, mechanically operated jaws. I'm

122
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:19.879
<v Speaker 2>reading from the packaging as seen in the movie. Relive

123
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:23.720
<v Speaker 2>the exciting action with the creature itself moveable tail to

124
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:28.800
<v Speaker 2>swing by spring loaded arms to crush its victims. Not

125
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:31.360
<v Speaker 2>a toy that was going to appear in my house

126
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:35.439
<v Speaker 2>anytime soon or ever. Wait, there's more press the back

127
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:37.240
<v Speaker 2>of the head on the bottom. His mouth opens and

128
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:41.519
<v Speaker 2>the gruesome teeth move forward, his evil brains glow in

129
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:43.839
<v Speaker 2>the dark. That was the part that bothered me about

130
00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:48.120
<v Speaker 2>the figure, The fucking skull underneath the translucent dome of

131
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:52.079
<v Speaker 2>his head. That design is the original alien design. If

132
00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:54.759
<v Speaker 2>you look at the production stills taking under harsh light,

133
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:58.600
<v Speaker 2>the fucking thing practically screams at you. In the finished

134
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.720
<v Speaker 2>film atmosphere being one of those things that kept getting

135
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:04.839
<v Speaker 2>Ridley Scott work, you barely perceived the skull at all,

136
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:08.240
<v Speaker 2>and all future versions of the Big Chap that's what

137
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:12.240
<v Speaker 2>everyone calls the original design would be skull free, seeing

138
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:16.079
<v Speaker 2>something so human inside the most otherworldly thing I'd ever

139
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:19.480
<v Speaker 2>seen was the really disturbing part. Everything else was just

140
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:22.199
<v Speaker 2>fucking cool. So I got to meet the alien before

141
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:24.720
<v Speaker 2>I saw the movie, and thus began my life of

142
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:27.120
<v Speaker 2>not giving a shit if something was spoiled. Not that

143
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:29.959
<v Speaker 2>you can spoil Alien. Everyone thinks of that movie as

144
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:33.320
<v Speaker 2>having one major twist, the alien hiding in Caine and

145
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.279
<v Speaker 2>the dinner sequence explosion. But that's just one surprise. You

146
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:40.519
<v Speaker 2>know what the Nostromo was hauling surprises. We get a

147
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:44.720
<v Speaker 2>distress call. No, it's a warning. Hey look eggs ah shit, Hey,

148
00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:48.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm okay. That's a relief past the salt. Oh my god. Well,

149
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:50.879
<v Speaker 2>at least it was a tiny thing. Wait what is that?

150
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:55.360
<v Speaker 2>Don't worry. Everything's gonna be fine. Captain Dallas is just

151
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:58.679
<v Speaker 2>gonna crawl. Oh god, Ash, we could really use some help.

152
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:01.200
<v Speaker 2>You're an android, you pick up when I'm laying down here.

153
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:03.840
<v Speaker 2>We remember Alien so fondly because it was a fucking

154
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:07.159
<v Speaker 2>surprise factory. In addition to being the greatest science fiction

155
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:10.919
<v Speaker 2>haunted house movie of all time and inadvertently introducing a

156
00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:14.559
<v Speaker 2>global audience to the notion of lovecrafty and horror terror

157
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:17.840
<v Speaker 2>from beyond space that we should really pray never finds

158
00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:21.480
<v Speaker 2>its way to Earth. It succeeds as social commentary, as

159
00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:25.000
<v Speaker 2>a science fiction epic, taking George Lucas's Lived in future

160
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:29.159
<v Speaker 2>ideas and applying it to real world scenarios. It works

161
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:31.799
<v Speaker 2>as a horror movie as a creature feature, it is

162
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.159
<v Speaker 2>a perfect film. In any attempt to replicate it seems

163
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:38.000
<v Speaker 2>like folly, which is probably why no one ever has.

164
00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:40.919
<v Speaker 2>James Cameron was smart enough to know not to even try.

165
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:44.679
<v Speaker 2>He knew escalation was the only response, bringing in marines

166
00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:47.919
<v Speaker 2>and queens and hordes of our once lonely big chap

167
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:50.679
<v Speaker 2>and from there we've had a mix and match salad

168
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:53.639
<v Speaker 2>bar of films, all drawing from the same two sources,

169
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:57.159
<v Speaker 2>and all in different balances. Alien three was an Alien

170
00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:01.360
<v Speaker 2>major and an Aliens miner Resurrection the opposite. The AVP

171
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.840
<v Speaker 2>films are all Aliens Zero, Alien and Prometheus and Covenant.

172
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:08.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't care. I do not rate them at all.

173
00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:11.759
<v Speaker 2>I say live and let live to different interpretations and

174
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:16.919
<v Speaker 2>alternate timelines and multiverses. Invariants. However, Prometheus and Covenant suck.

175
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:19.960
<v Speaker 2>My Alien comes from somewhere in the darkness of space.

176
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.559
<v Speaker 2>It has nothing to do with humanity in either design

177
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:28.120
<v Speaker 2>or creation. Man perverts God's will and creates monsters. Really

178
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.320
<v Speaker 2>deep Ridley, Mary Shelley says, Hi, that doesn't mean I

179
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:34.480
<v Speaker 2>hate backstory or prequels or attempts at shading in the

180
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:37.320
<v Speaker 2>corners of a universe. I think Alien Romulus was a

181
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:40.480
<v Speaker 2>huge step forward, the most positive step forward since Ripley

182
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:43.360
<v Speaker 2>sent the Queen spiraling out of an airlock. Yes it

183
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:47.120
<v Speaker 2>was you, You killed that queen, good girl. The problem

184
00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:50.919
<v Speaker 2>with Romulus was zero likable characters, and while I appreciated

185
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:53.559
<v Speaker 2>all the nods to the Alien Isolation video game, it

186
00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:55.679
<v Speaker 2>just kind of reminded me that I'd rather be playing

187
00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:59.000
<v Speaker 2>in that universe than watching poorly conceived characters running from

188
00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:01.559
<v Speaker 2>face huggers. You can hear my review of it from

189
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:04.600
<v Speaker 2>August of last year. An Alien TV show seemed like

190
00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:06.919
<v Speaker 2>a joke at first, the way the idea of a

191
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:11.600
<v Speaker 2>Pirates of the Caribbean film sounded ridiculous until Johnny Depp's

192
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:13.919
<v Speaker 2>name started appearing on the posters. That's the way I

193
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:16.440
<v Speaker 2>felt when I read that Noah Hawley was creating and

194
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:19.840
<v Speaker 2>going to be show running that automatically meant a few things.

195
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:23.000
<v Speaker 2>It was going to be truly limited. Every season of

196
00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:26.159
<v Speaker 2>every show, serialized or not, that Holly has been involved

197
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:29.159
<v Speaker 2>with tells a complete story beginning, middle, and an end.

198
00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:31.159
<v Speaker 2>It also meant that we'd be in the hands of

199
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:34.799
<v Speaker 2>an adaptation veteran. If his only previous credit was Legion

200
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:37.879
<v Speaker 2>the Effects series starring Dan Stevens an Aubrey Plaza, then

201
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:41.000
<v Speaker 2>I'd at least be optimistic that show was an X

202
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:44.159
<v Speaker 2>Man adaptation, with Stephens playing David Holler, the son of

203
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:49.399
<v Speaker 2>Charles Xavier. The lead character's dissociative disorder allowed for fragmented

204
00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:54.080
<v Speaker 2>storytelling with a wildly unreliable narrator, producing three seasons that

205
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:57.279
<v Speaker 2>not only visually and structurally, were able to give us

206
00:11:57.320 --> 00:12:00.000
<v Speaker 2>the TV equivalent of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mine,

207
00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:02.559
<v Speaker 2>but it did so while honoring the spirit of the

208
00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:05.879
<v Speaker 2>original source material. Adapting a comic book to the screen

209
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:09.000
<v Speaker 2>is one thing. The unfucking believably tall hurdle of turning

210
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:13.200
<v Speaker 2>a theatrical film into a successful television series is entirely another.

211
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:16.480
<v Speaker 2>But then he did that too with five seasons of

212
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:19.799
<v Speaker 2>The Incredible Fargo, a series that jumps around in time,

213
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:23.919
<v Speaker 2>end plot and characters season to season. Anchored by Minnesota

214
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:27.159
<v Speaker 2>and the incredible Cohen Brothers film, it not only makes

215
00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:30.320
<v Speaker 2>a nifty companion piece to the film Fargo, it frequently

216
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:33.759
<v Speaker 2>manages to remake and rework the Cohen's other films. It's

217
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:36.399
<v Speaker 2>really an anomaly of a television series, and the quality

218
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:39.039
<v Speaker 2>jumps up and down, just like anything serialized over a

219
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:42.440
<v Speaker 2>number of years. But ultimately these are very smartly written

220
00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:44.720
<v Speaker 2>shows that turned out not only to pay homage to

221
00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:48.360
<v Speaker 2>its forebear, but recognize and amplify what was so damned

222
00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:51.039
<v Speaker 2>good about the original to begin with. And he does

223
00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:54.600
<v Speaker 2>it here again. I'm genuinely gobsmacked by his work here

224
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:57.879
<v Speaker 2>on Alien Earth. He gets what's so incredible about that

225
00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:00.960
<v Speaker 2>first film. He understands the need to prize as much

226
00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:03.879
<v Speaker 2>as lay Easter eggs every which away. Hey, they got

227
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:07.039
<v Speaker 2>a drinky bird from the Nostromo in Romulus. Yeah, here's

228
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:10.120
<v Speaker 2>the fucking bridge of the Nostromo, and here's Mother's control room.

229
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:12.919
<v Speaker 2>It isn't the Nostromo. They're still floating out in space

230
00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:15.360
<v Speaker 2>waiting for the supposed distress signal to wake them up.

231
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:17.840
<v Speaker 2>But here's Holly giving us the goods Right up front.

232
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:22.679
<v Speaker 2>The USCSS Magino, a Wayland Utani deep space science research

233
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:25.639
<v Speaker 2>vessel is heading back to Earth almost in its orbit,

234
00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:29.519
<v Speaker 2>and it's packed with specimens from distant worlds, and it's

235
00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:32.960
<v Speaker 2>a dead ringer for the Nostromo in exacting detail. I

236
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:35.039
<v Speaker 2>know because I've been running through its corridors trying to

237
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:37.279
<v Speaker 2>get away from that motherfucker whenever I'm playing the Last

238
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:41.200
<v Speaker 2>Survivor mission on Alien Isolation. When we meet the crew,

239
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:44.200
<v Speaker 2>they're just waking up, and it's all very familiar, not

240
00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:47.039
<v Speaker 2>just paralleling the first film's events, but introducing a group

241
00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:50.320
<v Speaker 2>of characters that are genuinely likable. And then it goes

242
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:53.080
<v Speaker 2>further by giving us flashes of what's eventually going to

243
00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:56.159
<v Speaker 2>befall them. Here's a hint. It's the Zeno Morph and

244
00:13:56.200 --> 00:14:00.240
<v Speaker 2>it's glorious. The classic dome of the Big Chap and

245
00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:03.360
<v Speaker 2>everything I know. Cameron has specified that his Aliens were

246
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:05.960
<v Speaker 2>soldiers and the Big Chap was a drone. That's why

247
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:09.279
<v Speaker 2>his have more cartilage looking bony heads. But that's the

248
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:12.320
<v Speaker 2>one thing I think Aliens is lacking. Maybe the dome

249
00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.919
<v Speaker 2>was too reflective. Either way, I love that dome and

250
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.080
<v Speaker 2>I love this alien and yeah, things go really bad,

251
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:20.840
<v Speaker 2>but instead of floating out in space, the imagine is

252
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:22.480
<v Speaker 2>on a collision course with Earth.

253
00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:27.519
<v Speaker 1>How's our girl, She's ready.

254
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:32.559
<v Speaker 4>You're going to be the first person to transition from

255
00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:37.120
<v Speaker 4>a human body to a synthetic because I'm special.

256
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:45.120
<v Speaker 1>That's right, You're very, very special.

257
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:57.080
<v Speaker 5>We have a down space draft.

258
00:14:58.200 --> 00:14:59.919
<v Speaker 1>I want what's on that ship.

259
00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:00.840
<v Speaker 2>We can do it.

260
00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:08.639
<v Speaker 3>We're fast, we're strong, we don't break.

261
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:11.200
<v Speaker 4>It's like a zoo that the animals got out.

262
00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:18.960
<v Speaker 1>This ship collected five different life forms from the darkest

263
00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:37.320
<v Speaker 1>corners of the universe, Monsters, invasive, species, predatory. We don't

264
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:42.039
<v Speaker 1>lock them down.

265
00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:43.320
<v Speaker 5>It will be too late.

266
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:09.639
<v Speaker 2>When I mentioned Holly's dedication to giving us new and

267
00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:12.919
<v Speaker 2>surprising twists in the series, I meant it. Here on

268
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:16.720
<v Speaker 2>Earth were introduced to three kinds of android. Since pure

269
00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:20.720
<v Speaker 2>machine like Ash or Bishop or Call, then there are cyborgs,

270
00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:24.279
<v Speaker 2>humans with synthetic implants, and now new to the scene

271
00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:28.960
<v Speaker 2>are hybrids, synthetic bodies downloaded with a human's consciousness. This

272
00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:33.720
<v Speaker 2>latest process is innovated by Kid Cavalier, a boy genius, trillionaire,

273
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:37.600
<v Speaker 2>the ultimate tech bro. Although his reasoning thus far is

274
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:41.679
<v Speaker 2>actually pretty philosophical, but then Thanos wasn't wrong in theory,

275
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:45.320
<v Speaker 2>so don't think I'm praising him. He runs Prodigy Corporation,

276
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:48.320
<v Speaker 2>a rival of whaleen Utani. We knew there had to

277
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:50.679
<v Speaker 2>be rivals out there. Why is fucking Whale and Utani

278
00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:54.399
<v Speaker 2>responsible for everything in the universe. The first full hybrid

279
00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:58.000
<v Speaker 2>is Marci, a terminal eleven year old girl who, in

280
00:16:58.039 --> 00:17:01.240
<v Speaker 2>her new synthetic and adult body, adopts the name Wendy.

281
00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Holly loves a theme, and here it's Peter Pan. The

282
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:07.960
<v Speaker 2>island nation near Singapore controlled by Kid Cavalier is named

283
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:11.119
<v Speaker 2>in Neverland. The group of fellow hybrids that will eventually

284
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:14.240
<v Speaker 2>join Wendy are called the Lost Boys, and their adopted

285
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:17.640
<v Speaker 2>names follow suit with Smee and Nibs and Curly Hell.

286
00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:20.519
<v Speaker 2>During the process of transfer for human to synthetic, they're

287
00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:23.680
<v Speaker 2>actually watching the Disney cartoon Peter Pan, which I know

288
00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:26.200
<v Speaker 2>twenty century Fox is now owned by Disney, so the

289
00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:29.400
<v Speaker 2>wheels are a little more lubricated these days. Nevertheless, it

290
00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:32.160
<v Speaker 2>had me flashing back to Gremlins when those fucking terrors

291
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:34.319
<v Speaker 2>are sitting in a theater watching snow White before the

292
00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:37.519
<v Speaker 2>film runs out and they continue their murderous assault. It

293
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:41.519
<v Speaker 2>seems so wrong and yet so right. Same here mainly

294
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:44.799
<v Speaker 2>because Holly embraces the parallels rather than trying to bury them,

295
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:47.960
<v Speaker 2>and he manages to not be beholden to Peter Pan.

296
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:50.799
<v Speaker 2>Wendy and her cohorts may not ever grow old like

297
00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:53.319
<v Speaker 2>the original Lost Boys, but then they didn't have to

298
00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:56.640
<v Speaker 2>deal with terrors from beyond space. This group of Lost

299
00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:01.039
<v Speaker 2>Boys is mentored by Prodigy Corporations chief Synthetic Kirsch, played

300
00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:05.079
<v Speaker 2>fucking perfectly by Timothy Oliphant. That really is the one

301
00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:07.480
<v Speaker 2>thing all of these iterations of the Alien franchise has

302
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:10.759
<v Speaker 2>gotten right. The Android or Synths as we're calling them

303
00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:14.160
<v Speaker 2>now I named the Luminaries earlier. Kersh is a welcome

304
00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:17.559
<v Speaker 2>addition to their pantheon. So we've got a Wayland Utani

305
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:21.319
<v Speaker 2>ship crashing into a Prodigy city, and its contents are volatile,

306
00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:23.680
<v Speaker 2>to say the least. That's the setup for the first

307
00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:26.640
<v Speaker 2>two episodes, and luckily for Kid Cavalier, he's got a

308
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:29.240
<v Speaker 2>squad of Hybrids who are perfectly suited to secure that

309
00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:32.680
<v Speaker 2>crash site and investigate what's inside the ship, which is

310
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:35.400
<v Speaker 2>about as far as I'm going to go without spoiling anything. However,

311
00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:38.000
<v Speaker 2>I said, Holly understands the importance of the new when

312
00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:41.039
<v Speaker 2>it comes to reinterpreting a film or series. He's doing

313
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:43.759
<v Speaker 2>it here with way more than plot and character and location.

314
00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:46.279
<v Speaker 2>He's doing it with tropes we've come to not only

315
00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:49.559
<v Speaker 2>rely on, but have become kind of boring. The crash

316
00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:52.240
<v Speaker 2>of the Magino into a city scape would be the

317
00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:56.480
<v Speaker 2>entire episode in lesser hands and lovingly rendered. Buildings would

318
00:18:56.480 --> 00:19:00.240
<v Speaker 2>crumble and totter, and people would scream and run, more

319
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:04.119
<v Speaker 2>interested in the action and actual terror from the human perspective,

320
00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:07.480
<v Speaker 2>thus giving echoes of nine to eleven that are undeniable.

321
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:10.839
<v Speaker 2>It's horrible and unexpected, and it fucking works. And the

322
00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:13.480
<v Speaker 2>nerd in me loved that the Maginaut's engines were still

323
00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:16.039
<v Speaker 2>firing as the first responders were trying to sort out

324
00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:18.400
<v Speaker 2>what the fuck to do. And I haven't even mentioned

325
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:21.359
<v Speaker 2>the other specimens that are lurking inside the ship. Of course,

326
00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:23.960
<v Speaker 2>there'd be other alien life forms. We'd be picking them

327
00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:27.200
<v Speaker 2>up all over if we were colonizing other worlds. These

328
00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:30.119
<v Speaker 2>do not disappoint. Neither does the music. I want to

329
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:32.680
<v Speaker 2>point out Jeff Russo, he's the composer, and I had

330
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:35.519
<v Speaker 2>no idea it was the guitarist and lead singer for Tonic.

331
00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:44.400
<v Speaker 4>Yep, you kidd Onless she Loves.

332
00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:47.440
<v Speaker 2>He's had some interesting assignments, the latest which seems to

333
00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:51.160
<v Speaker 2>be house composer over at Star Trek. He did Discovery, Picards,

334
00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Strange New Worlds, and even the Misbegotten Section thirty one,

335
00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:58.839
<v Speaker 2>not to mention Umbrella Academy and that Ripley series No

336
00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Not Her, Oh not You the Patricia highsmiths rically No

337
00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:05.960
<v Speaker 2>not You. Russo does a great job here, not only

338
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:08.920
<v Speaker 2>with his original work, but when he quotes, he's doing

339
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:12.240
<v Speaker 2>it from the original Jerry Goldsmith's score, and particularly the

340
00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:15.680
<v Speaker 2>stings way more effective than telling another alien to get

341
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:16.400
<v Speaker 2>away from her.

342
00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:16.880
<v Speaker 1>You bitch.

343
00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:20.039
<v Speaker 2>I can't think of a possible segue here to weapons.

344
00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:21.240
<v Speaker 2>So here's the trailer.

345
00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:26.839
<v Speaker 3>This is a true story that happened in my town.

346
00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:31.200
<v Speaker 3>So this one Wednesday is like a normal day for

347
00:20:31.279 --> 00:20:39.359
<v Speaker 3>the whole school, but today was different. Every other class

348
00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:45.440
<v Speaker 3>had all their kids, but missus Gandy's room was totally empty.

349
00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:51.839
<v Speaker 3>And do you know why? Because the night before, at

350
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:57.279
<v Speaker 3>two seventeen in the morning, every kid woke up, got

351
00:20:57.319 --> 00:21:03.160
<v Speaker 3>out of bed, walked out stairs and into the dark,

352
00:21:05.119 --> 00:21:08.200
<v Speaker 3>and they never came back.

353
00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:16.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand at all. Why just her classroom? Why

354
00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:17.359
<v Speaker 1>only hurts?

355
00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:20.319
<v Speaker 2>Where are children?

356
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:24.200
<v Speaker 3>We have a lot of emotional parents who I think

357
00:21:24.200 --> 00:21:26.440
<v Speaker 3>it's best if you keep some distance from this place.

358
00:21:46.279 --> 00:21:54.319
<v Speaker 1>That's throw Where are you? Where did you go?

359
00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:08.720
<v Speaker 3>This is where the story really starts.

360
00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:16.000
<v Speaker 2>How's that for tantalizing? What is it with sketch comedians

361
00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:20.240
<v Speaker 2>suddenly turning into fucking monster horror filmmakers Jordan Peele from

362
00:22:20.319 --> 00:22:23.079
<v Speaker 2>Key and Peel and now Zach Kreiger from The Whitest Kids.

363
00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:25.240
<v Speaker 2>You know this guy hit the scene with a fucking

364
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:28.640
<v Speaker 2>sledgehammer three years ago with Barbarian. I told you in

365
00:22:28.640 --> 00:22:31.400
<v Speaker 2>the last episode to watch Barbarian. I'm telling you again.

366
00:22:31.640 --> 00:22:34.240
<v Speaker 2>Go watch Barbarian. It's kind of a perfect blend of

367
00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:38.599
<v Speaker 2>horror and dread and humor, all the while delivering complex characters,

368
00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:42.599
<v Speaker 2>which is doubly true of weapons. You heard the setup.

369
00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:46.079
<v Speaker 2>An entire third grade class goes missing one night. Even

370
00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:49.319
<v Speaker 2>more maddening, they did so of their own volition, walking

371
00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:52.200
<v Speaker 2>out and running into the night, as captured by many

372
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:55.720
<v Speaker 2>many ring cameras. Those early shots of the children waking

373
00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:58.640
<v Speaker 2>and taking to the night. Arms swung back like birds

374
00:22:58.960 --> 00:23:03.519
<v Speaker 2>or missiles running against the backdrop of sleeping suburbia are gorgeous,

375
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:07.079
<v Speaker 2>and all scored to George Harrison's Beware the Darkness, just

376
00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:08.920
<v Speaker 2>one of a half dozen of my favorite songs of

377
00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:12.200
<v Speaker 2>all time, like Percy Sledge's Dark End of the Street

378
00:23:12.759 --> 00:23:16.519
<v Speaker 2>and my literal favorite Harry Nilsen tune Gotta get.

379
00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:20.279
<v Speaker 4>Up, Got get up, gotta get out, Gotta get.

380
00:23:20.119 --> 00:23:23.240
<v Speaker 5>Home for the morning comes water.

381
00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:26.440
<v Speaker 4>Family, got a big day, Gotta get home for the

382
00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:30.480
<v Speaker 4>sun comes up, up and away, got a big day,

383
00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:34.880
<v Speaker 4>sar Cat's day. I gotta run run, Yeah, gotta get home.

384
00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:39.160
<v Speaker 2>Isn't that great? Craiger fragments the story immediately fast forwarding

385
00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:42.160
<v Speaker 2>to nearly a month after the event, and that assembly

386
00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:44.319
<v Speaker 2>at the school that you heard in the trailer. That

387
00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:47.359
<v Speaker 2>scene branches out, rewinding a day or two and giving

388
00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:51.359
<v Speaker 2>us five separate points of view weapons ends up resembling P. T.

389
00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:55.359
<v Speaker 2>Anderson's Magnolia more than anything, though, while Magnolia's characters and

390
00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:59.160
<v Speaker 2>stories share a tenuous connection a theme, really all of

391
00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:02.599
<v Speaker 2>the stories here are leading us to the one tale. Overall.

392
00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:05.680
<v Speaker 2>Those points of view are Justine played by Julia Garner,

393
00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:08.920
<v Speaker 2>the film's nominal protagonist. It's her class that's gone missing.

394
00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Archer a father of one of the missing children whose

395
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:14.759
<v Speaker 2>obsession with finding him will either kill him or set

396
00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:18.160
<v Speaker 2>him free. He's played by Josh Brolin. Then there's Paul,

397
00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:21.880
<v Speaker 2>played by the once upon a Time Hans solo Alden Ehrenreich.

398
00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:24.319
<v Speaker 2>He's a cop in the town and a former flame

399
00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:28.880
<v Speaker 2>of Julia. James, a homeless drug addict played spectacularly by

400
00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:32.039
<v Speaker 2>Austin Abrams. He was on The Walking Dead and Euphoria.

401
00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:35.599
<v Speaker 2>Then there's Marcus, the schools put upon principle, played by

402
00:24:35.640 --> 00:24:39.079
<v Speaker 2>Benedict Wong. Can we put mister Wong in everything? Please?

403
00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:41.880
<v Speaker 2>There is no project he will not make him better.

404
00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:46.920
<v Speaker 2>And finally, and most revealingly, there's Alex, played by then

405
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:50.680
<v Speaker 2>eight year old Carrie Christopher. Alex is the only child

406
00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:54.079
<v Speaker 2>in Julia's class who didn't go wandering that night. I

407
00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:56.200
<v Speaker 2>really can't say any more other than the kid was

408
00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:59.920
<v Speaker 2>fucking amazing. I've dealt with plenty of precocious terrible child

409
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:02.279
<v Speaker 2>actors over the years on Tails from the Dark Side

410
00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:04.960
<v Speaker 2>and Night Gallery and Twilight Zone eighty five. Not a

411
00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:08.480
<v Speaker 2>fucking whiff of that here He's great. Each of the

412
00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:11.720
<v Speaker 2>separate stories are economical and interesting, and in some cases

413
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:14.519
<v Speaker 2>take you far from the main plot, involving you more

414
00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:17.759
<v Speaker 2>in these people's personal lives than your average scare show allows,

415
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:19.720
<v Speaker 2>which is a hell of a neat trick considering the

416
00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:24.759
<v Speaker 2>film's central mystery involves seventeen missing children. But is it scary? Fuck? Yes,

417
00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:29.279
<v Speaker 2>it is and dreamy and personal and weird and thrilling

418
00:25:29.640 --> 00:25:32.640
<v Speaker 2>in skin crawling, and it functions as a hell of

419
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:35.880
<v Speaker 2>a meditation on addiction and its widespread lingering effects on

420
00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:38.799
<v Speaker 2>the lives of everyone it touches. And it's funny as

421
00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:41.519
<v Speaker 2>funny as together was Boy. Horror is really hitting a

422
00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:45.759
<v Speaker 2>stride recently, like Alien Earth. I'm loath to reveal anything else,

423
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:48.400
<v Speaker 2>but I'd like to note if a nature documentary shows

424
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:51.319
<v Speaker 2>up in a horror movie, you should pay attention, just

425
00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:54.559
<v Speaker 2>saying your mileage may vary when it comes to the reveal.

426
00:25:55.160 --> 00:25:58.720
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes no answer is better than disappointing one. I myself

427
00:25:58.759 --> 00:26:01.759
<v Speaker 2>love an open ended mystery. This ain't that Craiger isn't

428
00:26:01.799 --> 00:26:04.240
<v Speaker 2>interested in stringing you along, And I, for one, was

429
00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:06.400
<v Speaker 2>right there with this flick every step of the way.

430
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:10.480
<v Speaker 2>The supporting cast. There's a supporting cast after five leads. Yeah,

431
00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:13.920
<v Speaker 2>and it's just as strong. Toby Huss is a fucking gem.

432
00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:16.480
<v Speaker 2>He's the chief of police here and father to Paul's

433
00:26:16.480 --> 00:26:20.279
<v Speaker 2>fiance Donna, who is played by podcast legend June Diana Rayfield.

434
00:26:20.519 --> 00:26:23.640
<v Speaker 2>Toby Huss, though you probably know him as the whizb

435
00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:29.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm the Wizist, but he's made a career of gentle,

436
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:32.839
<v Speaker 2>authoritarian characters. But I just wanted to point him out

437
00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:35.319
<v Speaker 2>and say how fucking good he is. Justin Long and

438
00:26:35.400 --> 00:26:37.559
<v Speaker 2>Sarah Paxton show up as parents of one of the

439
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:40.640
<v Speaker 2>other missing kids. And Amy Madigan is also in the film,

440
00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:43.680
<v Speaker 2>and she's fucking spectacular. What a real life duo she

441
00:26:43.759 --> 00:26:47.559
<v Speaker 2>and Ed Harris make just powerhouses in every direction. You

442
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:49.759
<v Speaker 2>know what, I take back what I said earlier. Do

443
00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:53.680
<v Speaker 2>not see Barbarian that's readily available on streaming. Go to

444
00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:56.160
<v Speaker 2>the movies and put your money down for this one.

00:26:56.680 --> 00:26:59.000
<v Speaker 2>I encourage that a lot, But this is it.

446
00:26:59.119 --> 00:26:59.400
<v Speaker 3>Man.

447
00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:02.240
<v Speaker 2>If you're not supporting this, you are not supporting horror.

448
00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:04.519
<v Speaker 2>And if you're not supporting horror, then get out of here.

449
00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:07.680
<v Speaker 2>We're getting out of here. Tune in Friday. We've got

450
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:10.200

<v Speaker 2>to shows not in the main feed, like HP Hates Me.

456
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:28.599
<v Speaker 2>The latest episode is up where HP made me watch

<v Speaker 2>Corey Haymes me myself and I, a self released video

458
00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:34.839
<v Speaker 2>made to convince the industry he was sober and ready

459
00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:37.759
<v Speaker 2>to work, all the while being high as a fucking kite.

460
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:41.079
<v Speaker 2>Next Monday, we'll probably not be another round up. That's right.

461
00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:43.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm like SNL. I'll come in hot and I'll bail,

462
00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:47.279
<v Speaker 2>but it will be a new show. Not a new show,

463
00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:50.759
<v Speaker 2>but show you haven't heard. That'll be my own weapons mystery.

464
00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:54.119
<v Speaker 2>Until then, until we meet again, I'm Father Malone for

465
00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:56.319
<v Speaker 2>Ripley Gene. We're gonna leave you with a bit from

466
00:27:56.400 --> 00:27:57.200
<v Speaker 2>Alien Earth.

467
00:27:57.519 --> 00:28:01.039
<v Speaker 5>The ship touchdown in seventeen thirty. It's a deep space

468
00:28:01.079 --> 00:28:07.720
<v Speaker 5>research vestval C class wayland Utorny survivors on the ship

469
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:11.039
<v Speaker 5>unknown calms it down. Ship must have clipped the tower

470
00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:16.079
<v Speaker 5>but we have forces on the ground. Mass casualties, i'd

471
00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:19.519
<v Speaker 5>imagine among the residents. Luckily it was the founders of

472
00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:23.880
<v Speaker 5>the festival. Hundreds of people were at the park, sir.

473
00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Not now, let's good.

474
00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:28.240
<v Speaker 4>No triage, the rescue by income it called up the

475
00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:30.759
<v Speaker 4>reserves and keep this quiet until.

476
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:31.359
<v Speaker 1>We know the damage.

477
00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:32.640
<v Speaker 4>We can do it.

478
00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:33.920
<v Speaker 5>And the ship.

479
00:28:35.640 --> 00:28:38.480
<v Speaker 4>A deep space research vessel loaded with who knows what?

480
00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:42.680
<v Speaker 4>I think that's ours. Now she won't like that, Yeah,

481
00:28:42.960 --> 00:29:17.119
<v Speaker 4>so she can sue. Show show show, show
