But we've all 39 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:02.799 kind of we've all kind of graduated these like basically 40 00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:07.439 just like fancy your MIC's hard lemonades for when I 41 00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:13.000 don't feel like drinking beer because it just tastes like juice, which. 42 00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:18.759 Is never good. But I'm still just drinking whiskey where 43 00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:19.319 I met. 44 00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:24.520 Straight up drinking petrol over here. We done us all 45 00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:27.960 like that pure unleted down my throat. 46 00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:34.360 Just at the gas station. Well, anyway, tomorrow, why don't 47 00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:35.639 you start? What have you been playing this week? 48 00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.439 I've been playing a little game called Persona five Royal, 49 00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:43.960 a dangling thread which I'm trying to wrap up, and 50 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:48.360 then you know what, I can say, Chido's Palace absolutely sucks, 51 00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:51.960 but and I hate it so much. I've been trapped 52 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:56.520 in that palace for so long and it's so annoying 53 00:02:57.960 --> 00:02:58.360 to death. 54 00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:00.000 No Kumera's power. 55 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:03.360 I think, I think on this is my third play through, 56 00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:06.039 and I think now I've reached the point where Okumra's 57 00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:09.719 Palace is not as bad like I think, because Okimura's 58 00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:12.479 Palace has a challenged her and there's enough there's enough 59 00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:14.719 like variety in what you're seeing and doing that you 60 00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.080 figure it out and it's more a case of like 61 00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:20.719 quickly moving between rooms and that kind of stuff she does. 62 00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:23.560 Palace everything looks the same, and it's got that really 63 00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:28.360 annoying mouse transformation maze thing and doors are locked. Yeah, 64 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.800 and the doors are locked and every room looks exactly 65 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:35.080 the same, and you're just like, I've been playing that. 66 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:38.360 I've been stuck in that palace for maybe a week now. 67 00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:41.080 Because I go in there, I'll play for like twenty minutes. 68 00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.000 I'm just like, I hate this and I'm just turn 69 00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:45.520 it off and then have to start again, and each time, 70 00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:47.360 like I get more and more frustrated. So I do 71 00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:49.680 things like try and run past enemies and it raises 72 00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:52.520 the alertness level, and then very quickly you're at one 73 00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:54.840 hundred percent and then you're in that place where the battle, 74 00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:57.759 like in a battle, the enemies just keep coming and 75 00:03:57.800 --> 00:03:59.639 it's just like, oh God, why am I doing this? 76 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.240 I'm like very slowly making it through. I hate that 77 00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:07.199 the like the kind of like as you approach the 78 00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:09.919 line where in Royal you get new content, it becomes 79 00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:13.080 more and more annoying and a grind. It's like the 80 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:16.160 place where they put all the new core content is 81 00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:18.920 like the worst part of the game back to back. 82 00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:21.920 So I know it's going to get better, but it's 83 00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:23.920 just the slog there. It's just like, oh god, I 84 00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:25.839 wish I could just skip to the I wish it 85 00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:28.639 would be like, oh, yeah, did you play the original? Yes, 86 00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.759 skip this shit and like just level you up ten. 87 00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:34.399 I feel like Royal Too does such a good job 88 00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:38.759 of like of kind of foreshadowing things that are going 89 00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:43.040 to happen with characters in that epilogue really early on, 90 00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.079 so you're like, oh cool, I'm excited to see where 91 00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:49.040 these threads go one hundred and twenty hours later. 92 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:53.079 Yeah, I'm like ninety five hours in and I'm just like, 93 00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:58.319 just I can't believe I've not seen almost the bulk 94 00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:01.639 of the new content and I play for ninety five hours. 95 00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:04.879 I'm like, God, they like in the future, they need 96 00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:06.759 to figure out a better way of getting the people 97 00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:09.560 who've done it before to the new stuff without going 98 00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:11.879 through all of it again. Like if this was my 99 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.160 second playthrough, I think I'd be a little more lenient, 100 00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:16.839 But this is like my third playthrough. Now, I'm like, 101 00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:20.680 just just show me how all this matters. Like I've 102 00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:23.160 been I've been with the doctor for so long and 103 00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:25.839 still none of it, like it has become relevant, like 104 00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:28.319 he was cool and all that. But like between that 105 00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:31.600 and the new character, it's like, oh God, please take 106 00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:33.959 me there. So I'm kind of plugging away at that. 107 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:39.000 You're really making me excited for my second play through. 108 00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:41.600 I've already planned even though I haven't finished it yet, 109 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:43.920 because I want to play it with the Japanese voice. 110 00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:47.720 Are you signing? Are you playing the original? 111 00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:49.079 No Royal? 112 00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:52.040 You're playing Royal? Right? Yeah, okay, so yeah, the second 113 00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:54.160 time through is I mean, like first time through Royal, 114 00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:57.279 I bet it's fine. Like the I remember not having 115 00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:00.920 any problems with Hudo's Palace first time through, like it 116 00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:03.399 was funny and weird and when they there's like quirky 117 00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:05.720 bits in it and the characters turns to little mice 118 00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:08.439 now and then, and it's funny as hell. The second 119 00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:11.079 time through, I'm just like I know where this is 120 00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.000 going and I just want to be away from it. 121 00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:16.319 And it's frustrating figuring out because it's basically a maze, 122 00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:19.800 like you're amazing, you're doing amaze, and there's constant like 123 00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:22.959 blockades up against you, and it's just not enjoy it. It 124 00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:25.680 feels like the second time through or the third time through, 125 00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:28.560 it feels like it's not respecting your time. And that's 126 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:30.519 that's true of most of the game, but the rest 127 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:32.800 of the game has such a momentum to it that 128 00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:34.879 even like the stuff that you've done before and it's 129 00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:38.040 kind of like repetitive, you're just breezing through it. This 130 00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:39.800 is the first part where it like locks you in 131 00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.000 a place and you're like, you won't feel the sense 132 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:45.279 of progression because you're stuck in this maze and everything 133 00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:48.839 looks the same, so but I know that once I 134 00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:51.120 get beyond this it'll pick back up, So I'm just 135 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:52.079 kind of fighting through. 136 00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:55.600 I think the lesson here, sailing. I think the lesson 137 00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:57.839 here is that in twenty twenty six, when Persona six 138 00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:00.920 comes out, only play it once because is the released 139 00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:05.240 Persona six Royal Golden gold. 140 00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:10.000 Ah, Golden Royale. 141 00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:11.560 Golden Royale, and then that much better. 142 00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:15.680 Yeah, and then I'm playing Hollow Night bits and pieces 143 00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:17.480 of it because I promised Jordan i'd give it a go. 144 00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:20.519 I got them, and has it got the compass now 145 00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:24.160 it hasn't clicked for me. It is it is good, 146 00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:27.160 Like I get it why people like it, but I 147 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:29.279 don't get why people are obsessed with it yet, you 148 00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:31.600 know what I mean? Like I respect that people do 149 00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:33.920 and I can see what it might be doing, but 150 00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:37.920 like right now the world and that I don't find 151 00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:41.519 the main character or that interesting. From a design perspective, 152 00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:44.720 there's certain characters that this is going to make me 153 00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:48.120 sound bad, but certain characters that I just simple design 154 00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:51.079 characters that I'm just like, yeah, I don't really get it. 155 00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:54.639 It's like this is gonna sound really shitty. But Thomas 156 00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.160 was alone, for example, Like the reason I didn't play 157 00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:02.480 that because it's just a fucking square in it. Like 158 00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:04.720 I'm not being mean, but like, it's just a fucking 159 00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:06.000 square in it. And I looked at it and I 160 00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:10.040 was like, the square has death, but I'm still looking 161 00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:12.800 at I'm like, fucking square. And it was a two. 162 00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:18.279 D game, so it actually didn't have any depth emotion. 163 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.800 Like I'm playing Or and I'm playing it on the 164 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:25.480 serious X and it looks fantastic, but Or itself as 165 00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:28.000 a character is really bright on the screen, so it 166 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.079 just looks like a bright ORB running around for a 167 00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:33.440 lot of the time. And there's times where I feel 168 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:35.960 myself like detaching from that character and I have to 169 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:37.639 stop and then look at it and I'm like, oh, 170 00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:40.200 it's like a cat rabbit. And then I'm like, Okay, 171 00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:42.080 it's nice and it looks cool. But like when that 172 00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:44.840 game is in motion, it just looks like I'm controlling 173 00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:47.159 an ORB. It's like, you know, when you Lucy, you know, 174 00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:49.720 when you don't mean any of you know, but Lucy, 175 00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:51.759 I'm sure won't get it. Most like when you load 176 00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:53.720 into an Overwatch map and none of the characters have 177 00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:55.440 loaded in, so they're just like a little orb and 178 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:58.399 you're like, I hate this. Where's my character? It's like that, 179 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:02.559 but like with but like I'm playing Hollow Night and 180 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:05.200 the character I don't I don't know what its name is. Yeah, 181 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:09.399 I know it has a name bug all Night, Hollow. 182 00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:12.440 My first name Hollow is second name Night something like that. 183 00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:16.519 I know Jordan's probably raging somewhere. Like I look at 184 00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:19.919 it and I'm like, I it doesn't hit. It's not 185 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:22.320 working for me, Like it's not it's not doing anything 186 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.440 for me. But like the world is fun. They've got 187 00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.559 a fast travel system where it's just a big confused 188 00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:29.360 bug that goes through like tunnels and stuff. And I 189 00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:32.240 like to combat quite a bit, and but it's just 190 00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:35.799 it's not like it's not really connecting the world. It's 191 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:38.559 not connecting with me yet. But I'm very fairly early 192 00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:40.799 and I'm like three or four hours in, and I 193 00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:42.159 think the map still is. 194 00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:48.440 Like awful, really bad, like like all the games have 195 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:51.240 much better maps, And I don't understand why where they 196 00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:53.200 haven't kind of like taken that and updated it. 197 00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:55.320 Why didn't use that? I bet you there is some 198 00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:58.279 sort of reasoning, design reasoning. It's not I'm not sure 199 00:09:58.279 --> 00:09:59.399 what it is yet. 200 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:02.000 Did you get the compass because the compass shows where 201 00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:03.039 you are on the map. 202 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:05.720 Yeah. But like I'm one of those people who like, 203 00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:08.679 I love maps when you can move while in in 204 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:12.960 the map up, okay, and also like and also like 205 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.440 I want more clarity in terms of where where I've 206 00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:18.480 been and where I haven't been. And I think the 207 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:20.720 way the map works is like it doesn't fill in 208 00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:23.759 the map until you've like explored a chunk of an area. 209 00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:26.559 If I remember correctly, It's not like a far golf War, 210 00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:28.960 where like if you enter a room, it like fills 211 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.840 that room on the map. So like I do that 212 00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:33.759 thing where I figure out where I need to go 213 00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:35.720 and where I want to go next, or if I 214 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.120 pick up after a little while by like in Castlevania 215 00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:40.879 or like Metroid, you pick it up and you're like, oh, 216 00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:42.960 I can clearly see that this part of the map 217 00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:44.879 is where I stop going into this room, so I 218 00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:46.679 want to go back there and see what's there. It 219 00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:48.679 doesn't do that. It just feels that it gives you 220 00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:50.759 like a chunk of the map, and then it kind 221 00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:53.960 of like colors it in after you've entered a gonna 222 00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:56.279 beyond a certain threshold on that on that part of 223 00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:58.679 the area, and I'm like, I can't tell if I've 224 00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:01.120 been there or if I've not been there, or I've 225 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:03.080 been there and I just haven't been far enough into 226 00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:05.879 it so that the map hasn't triggered like filling this in. 227 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:08.679 I think that's how it works. The fact that it 228 00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:11.240 is ambiguous how the map works is a problem. Like 229 00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:14.120 I shouldn't have to think about whether this map is 230 00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:16.360 working or not. It's a map. It should just work. 231 00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:18.879 It's like the same thing with Control, where like you 232 00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:21.879 open the map and like I'm like, what elevation is this? 233 00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:23.759 Where is this? Where am I? Where am I? And 234 00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:25.320 then you know, everyone goes you don't and then you 235 00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:26.840 reach a point where you don't use the map in 236 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:28.720 that game, and because the world design it's so good, 237 00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.039 but like that confusing moment where you're in a room 238 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.200 in Control and you're like, wait, is the room I 239 00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:34.919 need to be on on top of this room below 240 00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:37.600 this room. It's just like I don't want to I 241 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:39.559 don't It's twenty twenty one. The world sucks. I don't 242 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.879 want to be putting mental energy into like whether I'm 243 00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:43.399 on the right place in the map, and a map 244 00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:44.600 is working, it should just work. 245 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:47.559 Yeah, I've I've played a bit of Hollow Night. I've 246 00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:49.639 tried it many times, and I think, I'm I feel 247 00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:51.399 about the same as you. And then I get why 248 00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:53.919 people say it's a good game. I think it's a 249 00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:56.840 good game, but it I don't. I haven't hit that 250 00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:59.679 point where I've understand why it's like one of the 251 00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:01.759 best ever like so many my friends say it's one 252 00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:04.519 of the best games ever made, and I play it, 253 00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:07.039 and I'm just like, I'd rather just play like Dark 254 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:10.879 Souls or Bloodborne or something that said. One day I'll 255 00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:14.039 finish it and maybe I'll have a more authoritative opinion 256 00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:16.759 on it. But as of right now, that's that's my take. 257 00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:21.480 I'm honestly I'm playing it because I want to give 258 00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:24.480 it an honest shake because I know people that love 259 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:27.000 it so much, like Jordan loves it to death, and 260 00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:29.440 I trust Jordan and I respect his opinion, and I 261 00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:31.240 know that he's got good taste. So I want to 262 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:34.279 give it at least like ten to fifteen hours. And 263 00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:36.720 it's the kind of game that I know is like 264 00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:39.480 in a genre that I love, So I'm gonna try it. 265 00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:43.000 I keep going more like hot shite. 266 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:45.440 No, I knew that was coming. 267 00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:47.759 You waited a second too. 268 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:49.960 Just see it in nice. 269 00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:53.600 Kelly, how about you? 270 00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:58.519 Well, I've mostly played Animal Crossing this week because I'm 271 00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:02.840 just kind of building out my island. I'm thinking about 272 00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:06.720 making well, I actually made the account already, but I'm 273 00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:10.279 thinking about, like actually using a separate Animal Crossing Instagram 274 00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:17.440 account to post like progress pictures because I like the 275 00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:19.399 community on there, so that's what I'm playing. 276 00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:21.919 I want to say what the account is called, and 277 00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:22.799 does it have a good name. 278 00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:28.799 It's uh, it's just inky Crossing, like with a period, 279 00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:34.519 so inky period crossing because I like the in Yes, 280 00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:37.879 I like the inky part of my name. It's the 281 00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:40.519 weep shit I put at the end that I would 282 00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:44.720 like to change, so uh, I went with that because 283 00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:47.480 a lot of people do like the crossing thing. I 284 00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:50.759 lurk a lot on the Animal Crossing Instagram. It's like 285 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:53.519 the only thing I opened Instagram for because otherwise Instagram 286 00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:58.559 makes me very uncomfortable. Other than that, I saw Doctor 287 00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:03.200 Sleep over the weekend And how did you find that? 288 00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:04.759 It was just on TV? 289 00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:06.480 Oh? 290 00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:08.600 No, I meant like, how did you find a movie? Like? 291 00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:11.639 How did you find it? 292 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:14.279 That is sorry to be your process in turning on 293 00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:15.039 the television. 294 00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:19.759 That is a very British turn of phraeze, is it? Yeah? 295 00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:20.200 It is. 296 00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:22.320 But I figured Kelly would pick up on it because 297 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:23.519 I picked up on it. 298 00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:27.240 Well, I just I thought like maybe it was hard, 299 00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:30.279 like hard to stream or something, because I don't I 300 00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:32.519 don't pay attention to ship. 301 00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:35.679 Yeah, I think it's long ago. There was a King. 302 00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:41.679 Yeah. Wow, I am so embarrassed that I did not 303 00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:44.840 catch that. So but honestly, that was a secret British 304 00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:46.919 test and I failed. 305 00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:49.360 Next time though, you'll pass. 306 00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:52.240 I will. And I can spot a Yorkshire accent from 307 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:57.720 a mile away, so from a killing meat. So I 308 00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:01.960 got it anyway, Like home, my mom and I were 309 00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:06.279 just really bored and we put it on. And at first, 310 00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:09.879 you know, because I've read Stephen King, have watched a 311 00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:12.440 lot of Stephen King adaptations. I like Stephen King a lot. 312 00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:16.000 I had my ap English teacher in high school shit 313 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:18.600 on me in front of the entire class for liking 314 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:21.360 Stephen King. And I think about him a lot and 315 00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:26.799 how much I hate him. But anyway, the teacher, the teacher, 316 00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:30.679 I mean Stephen King. Yes, this is false, that's for sure. 317 00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:33.440 So I saw the movie, like my mom and I 318 00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:35.039 were just like flipping through channels and I saw it 319 00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:37.320 and I was like, oh, that's the follow up to 320 00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:41.320 The Shining. My mom hadn't heard of it, and at 321 00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.639 the beginning of the movie, I was like, you know, 322 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:46.639 it's Stephen King, so like there's gonna be like an 323 00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:51.320 orgy or like, you know, something a little bit weird. 324 00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:54.440 And there was one scene where my mom straight up 325 00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:56.200 was like, you're gonna have to watch this without me. 326 00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:58.799 I hate this, And we got through it. 327 00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:02.799 So the beginning of the movie was definitely a little 328 00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:05.799 more like what the fuck is going on? And then 329 00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:09.320 maybe like an hour in, we were like we had 330 00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:14.279 gotten fully infested and we were like, oh, fuck, well's 331 00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:18.200 gonna happen. And you know, we've seen the We've seen 332 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:20.679 The Shining, so we were like ready for it, and 333 00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:25.080 like at that point, like everything that happened, we were like, 334 00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:26.240 oh my god, I. 335 00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:27.720 Can't believe this is happening. 336 00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:29.360 And so we got really into it and had a 337 00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:32.919 great time and ultimately, uh, both of us really enjoyed it. 338 00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:36.159 My dad was like already asleep by the time this 339 00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:37.799 was happening, and then he woke up like at the 340 00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:39.879 end of the movie and like came out and was like, 341 00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:46.120 what are you guys watching? And we're like stop. But yeah, 342 00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:49.360 it's a it's interesting because there's like weird almost like 343 00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:53.919 TV movie kind of affects sometimes in that movie. And 344 00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:56.559 but that's like, to me, that is like so quintessentially 345 00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:58.799 Stephen King. That I was just like, I'm here for it, 346 00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:04.200 and I don't know, I really liked it. It's one 347 00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:05.880 of those things that because I'm not a movie critic, 348 00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:08.160 I'm like, I liked it. I had a great time. 349 00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:09.839 I don't really want to go any further than this 350 00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:13.559 to be fat. I read the book and I did 351 00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:14.720 not care for the book. 352 00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:20.640 The book reads like and I don't mean this to 353 00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:22.559 be like an insult, but it does. It just doesn't 354 00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:25.039 feel it feels like someone else wrote it kind of 355 00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:27.319 feel a bit more like fan fiction of Stephen King. 356 00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:28.599 Well yeah, and. 357 00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:30.839 It's like, I mean energy wrote that book as a 358 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:35.400 fuck you to Stanley Kubrick. So yeah, you know, I 359 00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:37.279 can see how it would have that energy. 360 00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:42.599 And so I really was not that but like jazzed 361 00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:43.880 about the fact that they were going to make it 362 00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:46.599 into a film. But I really enjoyed what Mike flanagan did. 363 00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:48.359 The one thing I'll say is that you and McGregor 364 00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:52.160 cannot do an American accent to say his life. 365 00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:55.559 I didn't mind it. 366 00:17:55.559 --> 00:18:02.240 All he can in Harlequin's his American accent. I think 367 00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:04.759 he's gone America. Yeah, he does, he does, and it's fine. 368 00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:07.359 Like I don't remember the night. 369 00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:10.839 Talked to Sleepy goes off the deep end a little bit, 370 00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:11.960 but I. 371 00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:15.480 Didn't notice that all the rose the hat that character. 372 00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:18.960 I could tell that she had that like because she 373 00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:21.519 had she slipped like a cant in there instead of 374 00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:24.680 a can't. And she's I mean, she lives in the UK, 375 00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:26.279 but she's from like Sweden. I think. 376 00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:29.079 Oh, I didn't know that. I liked it overall because 377 00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:31.839 I think as well, because I was just in a 378 00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:34.880 very shining place. You know, sometimes you just get urged 379 00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:38.559 to go back to the overlook. I really want to 380 00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:40.720 rewatch the Shining but again that is not in keeping 381 00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:45.960 with twenty twenty one. No rewatch, which is my thing 382 00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:46.519 for the year. 383 00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:48.559 How long do you think that'll last? 384 00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:50.640 Well, Friend of the show. 385 00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:53.000 Haven't you already watched rewatch? Lord of the Rings though. 386 00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:55.079 That didn't count and it was actually technically last year, 387 00:18:55.200 --> 00:19:01.039 so its sorry. Friend of the show Andrew Golf keeps 388 00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:05.599 texting me about his succession Rewatch, and I'm like, I 389 00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:09.559 could fuck with succession again, but no, I'm not not 390 00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:10.119 doing it. 391 00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:12.880 It's the game spot stock prices. You're like, wow, there's 392 00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:14.880 some ship going on. Better watch Succession. 393 00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:21.440 You made the mistakes, stop, You're fired. 394 00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:25.960 Well, anyway, I liked the Doctor Sleep book. I thought 395 00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:27.920 it was I thought it was pretty decent. I definitely 396 00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:31.279 agree that it reads like fan fiction and it goes 397 00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:35.039 places that I didn't want it to go. But when 398 00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:36.680 I finished it, I was like, all right, I mean 399 00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:38.400 I enjoyed it. It was easy to read. 400 00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:40.960 Yeah, it's but I think that's one things Stephen King 401 00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:43.960
