Speaker 1: All right, So we're getting into the film rumors point
of this show, and there's some juicy ones here. So
to start us off, we're going to talk about two
Star Trek films in the works. Now. Are you a
big fan of Star Trek?
Speaker 2: You know, I probably should be because my name's Kirk.
You know, people like to call me Captain Kirk sometimes
my day to day. I tried watching the sixties version
back in the day when it was on Netflix. I
got a few episodes in and I was able to
enjoy like the filmmaking aspect of it, Like I thought,
just like the practical sets, it being like from the sixties,
like damn, like for their time, like this would have
been crazy to just be watching this. This is pre
Star Wars, right, Star Wars would have been in the seventies,
So I was able to enjoy it in that aspect.
I don't think I really peaked on Star Trek until
I got to like the jj Abrams movies. Now I
haven't even seen all of those ones. I think the
last one I would have seen was The Dark what
was it called, Dark World, Dark.
Speaker 3: Dimension, Dark Side of the Moon? God?
Speaker 1: Uh, you have into Darkness.
Speaker 2: Into Darkness, which is the second one, right, yes, so
that would have been the last one.
Speaker 3: Is that the last one?
Speaker 1: Or the last one is Star Trek Beyond?
Speaker 2: Okay, I haven't seen that one, but I really like
the first one.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 2: I also just liked Chris Pine. I don't know if
he's charismatic in that role, and it was just just
a fun adventure. I haven't revisited those so I'm curious
if they if they hold up to today's standards, at
least for myself. But no, not really. It's kind of
been a blind spot for me. Not as much of
a blind spot as like Stargate is. I really don't
know much about that series at all. I know it's
a favorite of yours, but yeah, it was one of
those shows where like I remember going over like I
don't know my uncle's house or something, and he was
just binge watching like Star Trek, and I'm like, man,
this show is just so fucking boring. But no disrespect
to any Starch fans out there. I know you are
out there, but I was just a youngin and I
was not vibing with what that show was. But I'm
sure there's some good sauce in there. What news do
you have for me Star Trek related Well.
Speaker 1: It seems like they're going to be doing one of
these films with Captain Kirk, the classic crew and all
that kind of stuff, and then the other would be
new characters that would be from Andre. Uh director Toby Haynes.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm, his name is Andre, Toby Hanes.
Speaker 1: No, Andre was this project that I'm gonna google because
I don't fully understand it. Always written in the notes
this says with characters from Andre director Toby Haynes.
Speaker 3: So Andre, I don't know Andre.
Speaker 1: When I google it, it says Andrea is a French
and Portuguese origin name Andre film nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 2: Uh, I don't see you know. I might have should
have looked that up afterwards, but I did not see
that in there. And then here last part would have
been JJ Abrams producing both projects. Yes, yeah, I don't
know how I feel about that because I don't have
a lot of skin in the game, Like I'm not
I'm not nostalgic for one or the other. Of course,
like Captain Kirk just comes to mind when I think of.
Speaker 1: Star Trek and or and or director.
Speaker 2: Fucking Travis or they're shitty notes I'm just kidding, Travis,
but I appreciate all your notes you give us, but
I did not realize the same director. That's pretty cool
because that is my that is my top tier, that's
like my mount rushmore of Star Wars projects, I would say,
is and or in general, and.
Speaker 3: You like that show Andre.
Speaker 2: It's like a fucking biopic of Andre the Giant or
something like that. I don't know what that would be,
but Okay, that actually gets me more intrigued by this.
So I am glad that it was misspelled, because you know,
you had me in the first half.
Speaker 3: I'm like, eh, I don't.
Speaker 2: Know, don't really no nostalgia, I don't really care. But
then just having that pairing and the fact that I
did at least enjoy like the JJ movie or two,
that I fucking Zoe Seldona isn't that is she?
Speaker 1: She is? Yeah, Lieutenant herrah Ohhira.
Speaker 2: I think I can never really say her name right,
But yeah, I am interested. Actually, i I'm I like,
I think this is something where more details helps or
hinders it greatly.
Speaker 3: Like I was one that I think.
Speaker 2: You and Travis asked me in a private chat of
like what like you know we're gonna be seeing the
Neutron movie and I'm like, fuck now, man, Like I
I don't care about Tron. I didn't even see them,
Like the was it Brian Cranston?
Speaker 3: Was he in the other one? Or am I thinking
of Power Rangers? I always get the Tooers.
Speaker 2: Okay, there was like a new ish Tron movie though
that came out right like in our lifetime.
Speaker 1: Like maybe years ago.
Speaker 2: Okay, Like I seen the old Trons. Those were like
blowing my mind as a kid, like watching those on VHS,
but did not care about the like the new version,
and then hearing about the new one, I'm like, I
don't care. I'm not a nine inch nails listener, Like
there's just nothing getting there. Seeing that trailer though on
the big screen, Oh my god, I'm Juice and I'm there.
I'm so excited for that movie. So this is very
much the same avenue. At the end of the day,
I'm a visual guy. If if it looks gorgeous, good
soundtrack or whatever, it might be just good visuals. Like
I'm Jared want to be there in the what Jared
Letto fan?
Speaker 3: Why would I be a Jared little fan?
Speaker 1: He's in tront Neutron movie.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he's like every villain like Agent Smith. I
forgot about that.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm there for for Jared Letto, I guess. I
guess I'm just gonna see him die lot on screen.
You know, they're popping off on the Lettos. I also
don't think I'm like a massive Jared little hater by
any means.
Speaker 1: I just don't love some of the most recent Yeah
you're not, You're not.
Speaker 3: Thanks thanks for that.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't know. I was kind of mumbling there,
but what about you?
Speaker 1: I mean, I, yeah, I'm not a big Jared little
hater either, but I'm excited for this, I really really am.
I've become more of a late bloomer in the Star
Trek kind of fandom. I went back and watched Next
Next Generation, uh, and really really like the Adventures with
John the Bicard and and every single kind of Is
that the Patrick Stewart won that's Patrick Stark one? Yeah,
that must have.
Speaker 2: Some seasons to it? Is that a duntine?
Speaker 1: It's got a few seasons. I can't remember. It's been
a while since I got into it, but it's got
a few seasons to it, and it's just a good time.
I really really like it. It has it gives me
those good Stargate kind of vibes. But for sure that's
what I like to go. And Rewatch. I did try
to watch the original original Star Trek and some of it's,
like you said, it's it's ahead of the time. It
is dated though it's very dated, so I'm not really
there for it. But the newer stuff by JJ. I
really like that first Star Trek film. I really love
Into Darkness that that's one of my favorite movie scenes
of all time, which just it's like fucking top tier
chef's kiss. And then Beyond was okay. There were some
really really good moments in there, but as large scale
as it was, it still felt pretty claustrophobic. And I
mean the whole movie pretty much takes place outside of
the Enterprise. You don't have anything in the Enterprise in there,
which is kind of lame. I think some of my
favorite things are them just trying to, you know, part
of the ship, part of the crew, keep that thing
afloat and oh yeah, serving upsettence is that's what Kirk's doing.
Speaker 3: Captain got your liar, You'll spend it on the Enterprise
got you added that, Oh my god, that's.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think I think we definitely gotta let's get
some more stuff out. And Paramount's been popping off. They
just did a Star Trek movie called Section thirty one,
which I have not watched, and then they have a
new Star Trek show or a season of it like
Brave Brave New Worlds or something like that.
Speaker 3: So that sounds weird.
Speaker 1: Just there's lots of stuff. There's there's spearheading the all
those those projects. So I'm excited. I'm very much excited.
But anything else you want to add Star Trek related.
Speaker 2: M.
Speaker 3: I am curious.
Speaker 2: How uh like the fans of the Star Trek universes
specifically there he is said that word a lot.
Speaker 3: Today.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be enjoying not just the remake of the
like Captain Kirk, because I'm sure there were some hardcore
fans that really hated the Crisp Pine version, or maybe
some that thought it was a really good version, but
like just with the new version, like New Crew, and
I think that one is probably easier to do because
there's not like the expectations of matching the certain what
makes the characters themselves, not just with Captain Kirk, but
the rest of the crew. So yeah, I think I'm
interested in what the general Star Trek fans.
Speaker 3: I'm feeling cool right on.
Speaker 1: All right, our next one is and this is very
coincidental too, new film in the World war Z universe,
and it seems like this is a pretty big priority
for Paramount. And funny enough, back in the day after
the first one had dropped, I think they were working
really hard to get that sequel into production, and it
almost came about, but it fell to the curb and
wasn't able to get its feet off the ground, unfortunately.
But I was just playing World war Z Aftermath. I
just bowed up because it's on games Pass. I boot
it up and I played The Daylight cross Chair just once.
Speaker 2: I have that game too, and my dad was also
cooking on that game.
Speaker 3: He has it on PC.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's crushing, I know if it's
crossed it I have to look. But yeah, so then
you know, I fucking love that game. And it's just
when the hordes are coming, it's just it's so satisfying
and like freaky, when they're just crazy piling over each other,
it's it's it's still got a pretty active community because
I just I hopped in and played some of the
campaign story missions and it's it's it's good. It's got
like a Left for Dead vibe mixed with yeah, like
a The Division kind of or like a Ghost recon
kind of vibe. But yeah, it's it's a great game.
So funny that this popped up. That movie, the first
one with Brad Pitt, just kind of always lingers in
the back of my mind. There's just multiple sequences in
that film that just really make me antsy and uncomfortable,
and I just I wouldn't want to be alive in
that world. I just I don't feel good about it.
Speaker 2: I still haven't seen it. What Yeah, I've still it's
been a blind spot for me. I feel like there's
some juicy zombie movies that I've never seen, Like, you know,
we did our retro sosod On to the Dead zombieland
of course, but like Trained to Boussan, like I've always
heard that one is amazing and you've never seen that one.
Speaker 1: That's like the peak, Like it's up there for zombie
films that just brought in off you mentioned Fresh Wave.
Speaker 2: There's some good Korean ones that like, not just that one, right,
there's a there's a handful of.
Speaker 1: There's a handful they do. Yeah. Over over in the east,
you know, east of Canada, those folks over there, they're
making some.
Speaker 2: Depending on how far you want to that's true, it's
probably closer if we go west, but.
Speaker 1: They're they're on another level when it comes to zombies,
just the actors and their movements and just the storytelling.
And Netflix has a lot of good projects too that
that have been created from our friends in the East
of the West for different zombie projects.
Speaker 2: So some south in there north if you go all
the way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no.
Speaker 2: I I've dabbled in the video game like Super briefly,
but I I did like that and just just the
idea of like the fast zombies that are just like
ants or they're just piling on top of each other
and like making fucking human bridges, and it's just a
it's like the most terrifying version of zombies I think,
you know, like there's the Dead Rising ones like that
video game where you're in them all they're just kind
of wandering about. There's special types, but for the most
part they're just mindless wandering around. But that version where
they're like sprinters like yeah, fuck me, Nope, I'm I'm
I'm taking the I'm taking the easy way out, I
think in the in that universe. But yeah, So getting
back to our topic of they're potentially being a new
film in the in in that universe, would you want
to see like a prequel a sequel?
Speaker 3: Since I haven't seen.
Speaker 2: The movie, I don't know if they like cover like
the breakout of that event or is it just like
cliff notes, no spoilers, but like, is it is it
something that you see day one?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not gonna give you any spoilers.
Speaker 2: I know there's zombies in the movie, so you can say, ye.
Speaker 1: There are zombies, there's werewolves and vampires, yea, oh fuck yeah,
Pop and Alp with Brad Pitt. There's I would like
to see a There's a lot of ground that's covered
in this movie. And when I say prequel, I don't
need to see necessarily like them leading up to like
the day of but something where it's like close to
when it started. I don't want to see something in
the future where it's like, oh my god, a termato
salvation where they're already handling the situation and they're dealing
with it living in this post apocalyptic world. I don't
want that scenario. I want another perspective where it's at
near the start of everything, you know, bbe people are
being evacuated, and that's something that I really like. There's
a show, what was it called, Oh my God, Oh
my God. It was called Black Summer, and this was
a two season thing on Netflix and it was so
fucking depressing, but it was such a good, terrifying zombie
show and it just kind of shows the early days
of the zombie apocalypse where you have strangers kind of
coming together. I highly recommend it. It's just it's eerie
and it really shows the dark, shitty side of humanity
with a couple positive beats in there too, but not many.
I would like to see that in this world. I
think that would be really really cool.
Speaker 3: Nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, moving on unless anything else. Know for the comment, Okay,
we're gonna be touching down on the Transformer's note here.
Holy shit, Michael Bay transformers. Never thought Oh he's back,
He's back. Did you hear the news about all these
Transformers things coming? No?
Speaker 2: I don't know anything about this, so lay it on me.
Speaker 3: Son.
Speaker 1: So we have Michael Bay coming back to do a
Transformers movie, and if I remember correctly, so they're doing
a Transformers g I Joe cross over, they're doing another.
Speaker 2: Isn't that like, wasn't it supposed to already happen like
after the Primal movie?
Speaker 3: Wasn't it? Is that what they made that.
Speaker 1: After Rise the Beasts? Yeah, they set it up big time,
so we're supposed to be getting that. Then we're getting
a live action Michael Bay Transformers movie, and then I
believe we're getting another animated one. So those like the
three right now, So I'm there for it. I'm totally
there for the idea of that. Get Michael Bay tackling the story,
I don't know, Well, I'm curious, is he going to
drop in and give us his true Transformer six film.
I feel like right now we're in an era where hey,
you're gonna get Pirate six, Hey you're gonna get Transformer six,
And it's just cool to kind of think we're getting
these six sixth offs here. But I mean, the Transformers five,
the last night that Michael Bay won, the last one
that he did, it ended on a massive cliffhanger, and
it was opened up for Unicorn to come into play,
and then Rise the Beast introduced Unicron, so they've kind
of already tapped into that. I don't think you can
really bring Unicorn back. So is that a character, it's
a character, it's a planet eating Transformers Galactus level. Yeah. Absolutely,
So we'll have to see what what he's really going
to be doing on which story he's going to be
going down, if he wants to do his own, or
if he's going to be continuing off where Rise the
Beast is kind of at right now. But they're very
they're very different characters. When you look at the ones
that the Transformers that are established in this new era
versus the Bay ones. The ones in this new era,
I feel like they're more dark and grittier, and Optimist
Prime just hates humans. We're in the Bay Ones. Optives
Prime is like, protect humans at all us. I'll die
for humans, like just Pep Talker, like fuck yeah, let's
I usually like a little inside fact most not most
of the time, but quite often I'll just I'll play
Optimist Prime quotes where he's just you know, he's just
talking and it's like you just want to die for him.
It's just so fucking motivational. Ah and just even the
dark stuff too, when he just like reams humanity out
with humanity is like, you need to go away because
the Decepticons are here because of you, and just Prime
is like, well, if we go, we'll respect your wishes.
But what if we go and you are wrong? It's like,
oh fuck, I hope he says a little bit differently
than he does. My paraphrase.
Speaker 2: We go and they don't go, and he says.
Speaker 3: It better than I do.
Speaker 1: Peter Cullen voice, Oh, man, can't even picture what this
chap looks like?
Speaker 2: Like, obviously can here. Let's get an image.
Speaker 1: My name is Optimist Prime. That's a fucking terrible voice.
I'll pull them up.
Speaker 3: I'll pull a voice actor.
Speaker 1: Fuck Canadian mister Peter of Colin, Montreal, Montreal, moreel Yeah.
And he's he's been Optimist Prime since I mean since Prime, really,
I mean he's done in all the films, all the
old like yeah, the eighties movie and whatnot. Like he's
been there through the fucking mill And I think, oh, yeah,
that Pickle's Big Adventure Winnie the Pooh. Who the fuck
is he voicing in Winnie the Pooh.
Speaker 3: Optimous Prime.
Speaker 2: There's a crazy crossover if C and they come never
Never would slaughter you.
Speaker 1: He plays ere in Winnie the Pooh.
Speaker 2: Holy shit, that's crazy, very different type of gravitas that
your has versus or sorry vice versa.
Speaker 1: Yeah wow yeah yeah yeah, so uh, I mean what
about you? You love Transformers?
Speaker 2: I think I loved Transformers at a point in time.
I didn't get around to seeing Transformers one, like the
kind of Origin animation video movie. It was a movie, right,
and I tapered off, like I don't even know which.
Speaker 3: Was the last movie I saw.
Speaker 2: I do kind of want to go through and just
watch them again because like that first Transformers movie, I
fucking love that movie. Like that came out like the
perfect time for me. It's funny, like how much this
kind of just memed on it too, Like you always
see the uh I don't know when I leave the
party without saying goodbye to anyone, and then it just
like starts playing the fucking soundtrack.
Speaker 3: It's like directed by Michael Bay. Like you've seen those clips.
Speaker 2: I absolutely loved the soundtrack at the time, Like it
was when I was playing sports and those were just
like get hyped music songs, you know, like like that
just came out of like a perfect era for me.
And the fact that I haven't seen like even the
last ones of that generation of them, I think that
speaks to my overall excitement of them. I did start
Rise of the Beast, but I think I like put
it on and fell asleep and just never went back
to it. I saw Bumblebee, which I don't know if
that's positive or negative, but I ended up I had
a good time with that movie. Terrible villain John Cena
was awful.
Speaker 1: He's not great.
Speaker 2: I don't think it was performance, definitely just writing the character,
but still not a memorable by any means. But I
don't know, like good trailer again speaks to the Tron thing.
Like I thought I was done with Tron. I saw
the trailer and I really want to see that, So
I'm definitely not gonna just say fuck no right now.
I don't know if this is gonna mean we're gonna
have to do.
Speaker 3: A Transformers retro or something along.
Speaker 1: The lines of that. But Travis will never agreed to it, though.
Speaker 2: He would never agree with it, but that might just
be a you and me thing. But I think I
would be open to it.
Speaker 1: Oh fuck, yeah, we'd have a good time. That'd be great. Yeah,
we can skip the one movie. We can just do
the live back.
Speaker 3: You watch it but you do not like it.
Speaker 1: No, I haven't watched it yet. So when I watch
it and like it, then maybe I'll toss it back
into the retro. That's fair.
Speaker 3: That's fair.
Speaker 1: Yeah, cool? Anything else on Transformers? Are you good to go?
Speaker 2: I'm very interested in seeing how it would do numbers
wise of getting like Michael Baile, because did he do
like even when they switched, like Mark Wahlberg, like, was
he still a part.
Speaker 1: Of those it was? He was? Yeah, because they Yeah,
the Last Night made six hundred and five million worldwide
and its budget was like two hundred and sixty million.
So that's holy rough Paramount lost over a hundred million
with that one.
Speaker 3: Jayeez, that's crazy. That's I wonder why they stopped.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, okay, two thousand and seven was the first one.
Speaker 1: So the one before Last Night, Age of Extinction made
one point one billion. Uh so you can see why.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember seeing Last Night. I went saw Last Night,
and then I took I went took I think I
saw three times in theaters.
Speaker 3: I went on, not surprised.
Speaker 1: Took two girls, two different girls, on dates, not the
same time, but I took them to that movie same night. No, no,
no separate nights.
Speaker 3: What a player. My god, it's unrevel this one another.
Speaker 1: That movie is like almost three fucking hours. And I
saw once on my own and then yeah twice two
other times with two different ladies.
Speaker 3: That is so funny. That is crazy. I didn't know that,
Laura aspect about you.
Speaker 1: A lot of fucking Optimus prime. You know, I was
eating that.
Speaker 3: Shut up, just fully engage in the movie. Not painted
your at all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there you go. Detail. Yeah that's a it's
a power move. It is serit your dominance. Cool. Well, yeah,
I got nothing else on Transformers.
Speaker 2: Did it work out with any of the ladies. No,
they hate the fucking movie. Three hours of this.
Speaker 1: The movie killed it for sure. But then yeah, I
met my wife. It took my wife to see.
Speaker 2: Uh uh.
Speaker 1: Fucking it chapter one and you know, there we go.
So you're gonna take a girl on a date, take
her to see it, and not Transformers.
Speaker 2: I think the first movie. I think the first movie
Shane I went and saw together. I might be wrong
in this, but I'm pretty sure it was fantastic Beasts
and Where to Find them like the first Wizarding World one.
And I don't really remember any of the movie, and
I didn't keep going down that series.
Speaker 1: But guys just making out the whole time date, Yeah,
any attention to the movie.
Speaker 3: That was what she was working there too, So that
was a different free movies.
Speaker 1: He didn't have to pay for that movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, I'm still not paying. That was a
good investment, although.
Speaker 3: You know, there you go.
Speaker 1: Uh cool. Well, next on the docket, Shrek five has
been delayed. I mean, it is what it is. I
got nothing to add to it.
Speaker 2: Okay, it was in that like crazy December slot, wasn't it,
with like all those millions of other movies.
Speaker 1: Yes? Yes, and then it does pushed back, yes, because
I think it was.
Speaker 3: Is it out of the year now?
Speaker 1: I think it was twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: But like it was December I thought.
Speaker 1: So. Shrek five was originally slated, oh previously, except for
release on July first, twenty twenty six, and it was
delayed two December twenty third, twenty twenty six. But oh
it was delayed again because I'm pretty sure. It was
bumped to yeah, June thirtieth, twenty twenty seven, so it's
been bumped a couple of.
Speaker 2: Times, like a whole year from the original. Yes, yes,
I'll probably be there when it comes out, so yeah,
I'll be there.
Speaker 1: Maybe do a retro who knows, just do retro.
Speaker 3: Stress believe.
Speaker 1: The one. There's so many, there's so many jokes that
just they live rent free in my head. But like
the one where it's like Tonight on Nights got Bronco going.
Speaker 3: So Pepper spray Pepper his eyes.
Speaker 2: Shrek two is superior than Shrek one. It is, it is, Okay,
I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was like unanimous.
Speaker 2: Decision, but Shane, I I think it was like a
year ago we were going through them, ended up tapering
off because I just really did not like the last one.
I think I was tapering off on the second last one,
but the actual last one kind of lost me. But
number two, man, like first one, fucking solid movie, so good,
like but that second one is just something special like they.
Speaker 1: And everything, Oh my god, yeah to Night on Nights.
I can't believe they put a no j joke in
that movie.
Speaker 3: I don't even remember that, and I want.
Speaker 1: The white that's the white Bronco.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Because like because donkeys, so they're like, we're got to
white white Bronco going south, the South bout they.
Speaker 3: Were going for it. Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy, crazy, big expectations for the new one.
I think it's obviously gonna have a different animation than
what the original had because it's so much later on.
But I mean put some boots had that though the
last Wish and I absolutely adored that movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that movie just slaves. The movie slaves. That's
got gosh working on my boa and this cast before
you keep.
Speaker 2: Going with more of those terminals no cap, no cap bust.
I'm learning some of them. I'm working with some youngins.
Speaker 1: Top Gun three. This is also another priority to get
paramount as it should be. I'm down. I want to
see more like what's going on here? Because that last
one was just fucking phenomenal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that one blew me away. I was very excited
for it, and it was just so much better. I
think that was like, I think that might have been
the first time I saw a movie alone in theaters
and I fucking had a great time. I was vibe
with that one, and I saw multiple times in theaters
and I've seen it multiple times since and I still
absolutely give me more. I'm down, I'm there.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, next new World war Z film in the works.
Just kidding. We already talked about it, but it was
in our notes twice.
Speaker 3: So there you go.
Speaker 1: Before we get into our last Zach news here with
the residual film. Or let's just throw in Mike's question here,
what director and or writer would you like to see
take control of the next big screen Star Trek film?
Speaker 3: Over to me? I did pull a name earlier. Who
was it?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yes, the great David Leech, director of Bullet, train Fall, Guy, Tomic, Blonde, Deadpool,
Two Hobs and Shaw, John Wick, the Original. Yeah, I
don't know. It just seems like a good blending of
comedy and action.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, I don't really have much more to add that.
I couldn't think of a writer per se. I'm usually
pretty bad at plucking those ones out of the woodworks.
But it just seems like a good, good pairing there.
I think, like my heart of heart picks and like
you know, it's a fantasy world, like a pick whoever
I want? It would probably be like a Denise Villeneuve
or Nolan. We know Denise busy uh with with of
course next Dune project, and then what was the big
thing he just got cast in that We thought he
wouldn't be James Bond. James Bond, Yeah, exactly so. But
like again, that's got awesome action in it, and with Dune,
just like the sci fi elements, the world building. Definitely
would love to see him be a part of that.
But and then Nolan is just like one of the goats,
you know, you got to like anything he's a part of,
it's going to be glorious and beautiful. But David Leech,
I think is also super solid, great like practical stunts
in his movies, which I don't know a lot about
Star Trek, but I remember from the JJ films there
being some good action sequences and you know, little little
little peppers of comedy in there also. And Bullet Train
was one of the funniest theater experience I ever had.
It was a good, good belly laughing time.
Speaker 3: And yeah, yeah, said, I would.
Speaker 1: Honestly go for a Joseph Kazinski f one director. I
really love that movie. It was fantastic and I think
there was a right combination of like seriousness drama and
then little up beat moments that were comedic and lighthearted
and just soulful. And again the cinematography was fantastic, the
scenes and just the close ups and just the action
and with the vehicles and whatnot. It just makes me think, Okay,
we could see a movie here with this director leading
the charge and give us something that's you know, got
the ships and everything in space, and then give us
that crew dynamic. You know, this movie is about these
two guys on the same team that are just at
each other's throats kind of and their pit crew is
just not really rallied together, and so you have all
this drama. Let's do that on a enterprise, you know,
have this new guy in the chair and the crew
just kind of be all kind of at each other's
throats a little bit, not working as a team, and
then they just they rallied together in the end and
they become a crew or something like that. I don't know,
there's different areas there, and I think Joseph Kaczinski could
definitely definitely do it. So I'm very much on board
for that his other projects that he has done because
I was kind of curious here, so let me just
pull it up and take a look.
Speaker 2: Because he Oblivion tron legacy actually, which is kind of hilarious.
Speaker 1: That's funny. Yeah, I think Oblivion was relatively positive.
Speaker 2: I liked it for a good chunk of the movie. Yeah,
Spiderhead really didn't like that movie. But that's okay. How
come I ever saw that? Absolutely fucking love that movie.
Speaker 1: This is weird. He's got the Gears of War Mad
World launch trailer. Uh. Director Joseph Kazinski literally says the
launch trailer for Gears of War two thousand and six
with the song mad World covered by Gary Jeweles director
Joseph Kazinski.
Speaker 3: That must have been a good trailer. It was.
Speaker 1: That's one of the all time, like top tier video
game trailers. Oh, it's so fucking good.
Speaker 3: But weird, weird, But I guess it's your portfolio.
Speaker 1: So there you go. All right, our last topic of
this cast. Then we're gonna bounce out of here. Zach
Kreeger coming back. His details have been unveiled for the
Resident Evil film. Now, we love a good Resident Evil movie.
I've been a huge fan of the original six with
Mila Holy fucking Mela just popping off on those movies.
And then we got the Welcome to Ratkin City one
with the actressho play Barbosa's daughter, and that movie kind
of bombed. But I definitely give them credit for the
freakiness of that movie because it definitely had some scene
foreseeing shots from the video game. And then we have
the series that we reviewed on Netflix, the one season
show that just fucking bombed, and that was it, but
it was a good review.
Speaker 3: Go check the review was it was? It just resid Evil? Oh?
Speaker 1: I think so, I'm looking at up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking at the movies. Where's Evil Season one?
Speaker 3: There you go?
Speaker 1: What year did it come out? Twenty twenty two? Totally
smokes three years ago. Yeah, so that's definitely not getting
a second season.
Speaker 2: Ah yeah during the late great Lance Reddick Rest in
Peace it was fantastic. Yeah Yeah, Risen Evils an interesting
one for me. I think it's been around, like it's
a very what's the word for it, this pop culture
like the right reference of like yeah, just like it's
got impact there on not just because the video game,
but also the TV or sorry, because of the movie
starrying Mela. I think that was like just that perfect
era of like we're getting Underworld, We're getting these like
like Blade, like these dark, like gritty horror action movies
starting usually you know, a badass heroine. In this case,
it was fantastic Mila Joe.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, I so like it was a weird way to
say it, but I risen Evil has been around like
me my whole life, even though I haven't been like
the biggest resen Evil fan, like either my cousin or
someone that I knew had Like the residen Evil video game.
I never like like the camera angles of that game,
but uh it was just yeah terrifying at the time
on the PS one graphics when those dogs part of
me are chasing you in the in the mansion terrifying.
And then the movies like terrify me also, but like
I also just love them. I think I still think
the first like I don't know, maybe we off do
a retro, but I still think the first one is
my favorite, just because it's the most memorable. Love the
idea of just like you know, you have like an
underground layer that just goes down like layers and layers
and layers and layers and layers and layers and layers
and like that. Just I don't know, it's a certain
Jenna said, quad trope that just gets me. I think
when we were watching Alien Earth recently, there's some things
that remind me of that first Risen Evil movie, And yeah, no,
I'm definitely always open to getny more of that content.
It's also cool how that series hasn't just like died
off like it seems like it's been relevant consistently like
my whole life, whether there's been different versions, whether it's
the movies, the video games, just keep coming out and
they keep like evolving on the series. So I am
always although it's not my favorite, I am always kind
of interested and want to check out whatever comes out
the series. Although it was disappointing, it was a fun
one to review with you guys. Great meme moment in
the finale that lived on. I think the image is
now gone, but it lives on in our memory and
I am interested in this. What was the note you said?
Not tied to any game stories like I guess it
kind of will have to though, like if they have
a Raccoon City, technically that would be attached to the
game series, right like the games though, right, Okay, like similar,
I guess to like how resid Evil bio Hazard was,
Like that doesn't really feel like a Resident Evil game, right,
it's very different, right, I don't know. I I'm open
to it. I love Austin Abrams. That was the name
I think of the the casting character. I apologize if
you already went through all this, but I'm just kind
of reminding myself, go for it. Yeah, no, I I
I'm interested. I'm interested. I'll check it out.
Speaker 1: So Austin Abrams, he pops off in weapons, he's in there.
Speaker 3: Oh really?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, And so that's kind of good. It gets
his foot in the door working with Zach, right, it
makes sense to bring him into this project. He's fantastic
in that movie, fantastic and everything I've seen him in Euphoria,
he's he was a major standout in that one season.
Speaker 3: And then he was in.
Speaker 2: A very mid movie on Netflix starring Camilla Mendez.
Speaker 3: Which is one of the leads from Riverdale.
Speaker 2: And I think, what's Milakot or not milak Uma Thurman's daughter,
what's her name, Maya Hawk, I think is her name.
She was the other one in there, if I'm remembering correctly,
And Austin Abrams is kind of like the villain air
quotes of it, and he's just like going hand. I
think he's like the best part of about that movie.
Did you find it?
Speaker 1: Or did you look Maya Hawk? Yeah, you're right, what's that?
Speaker 3: What's it called? What's the movie for? Which? Oh? I
thought you were looking at the movie? Sorry?
Speaker 1: I was on the Maya Hawk parent lineage.
Speaker 3: Sure, okay, fair enough.
Speaker 2: You know Austin Abrams is fantastic and everything I've seen
him in and uh I thought I was in a
drug for him.
Speaker 3: But he's in weapons. So another reason for me to
go see that now.
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, I low he did not realize that Uma
Thurman was the mother of Maya Hawk. I just I
just knew Ethan Hawk, and so that's.
Speaker 3: Just do you know who the father is Ethan Hawk?
Speaker 1: Are they still married?
Speaker 3: I don't think so. I think they're separated.
Speaker 1: Nineteen ninety eight to two thousand and five mm.
Speaker 2: Darn, they didn't even make the transformers. They could have
gone on a date night.
Speaker 1: They got Levon Hawk and Clementine Jane Hawk.
Speaker 3: Interesting, a lot of hawks.
Speaker 1: They got a whole family of birds. Look at that.
Speaker 3: They got a whole nest a little nel. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh, I'm I'm super stoked for this. Again. I'm pretty
terrible when it comes to the Resident Evil games. When
it comes to the movies, Oh my god. Yeah, I've
been there for all of them. And I've rewatched those
Melijavovic Djevovic ones so many freaking times. Holy smokes, I've
just lost track. I remember taking my dad seeing it
opening night in the theaters, one of the later ones,
and just being there and I remember doing a we
have a review for Resident Evil the Final Chapter on
our GVP as I did a review for that one.
So it's it's been it's been around for a very
very long time. And that first one, going into the
hive of under Ratcot City was just it's freaky, claustrophobic
and everything with the zombies, and just in that elevator
scene that was like one of the first scenes, but
an elevator just terrified me.
Speaker 2: That struck the fear of God into me on elevators
and just the idea of it just dropping with your
head getting chopped off, or that room with the laser
beams and the guy's like jumping over it, and then
it just fucking yeah, oh, so many memorable scenes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's just good stuff, good stuff. Definitely one
worth the retro to go through all those. But yeah,
the idea here that Austin Abrams, a laid back organ
courier sent out in a late night delivery to Raccoon
City in her hospital and he takes a snowy mountain road.
He accidentally hits a strange woman with his car. She survives,
but something's very wrong. He's trying to help, but then
he stumbles into this full on outbreak involving these horrifying
tentacle based mutations, the monstrosities and stuff that's been bioengineered,
and it's very much gonna have like a Rock'm Sock'm
Evil Dead two style. I love everything that I'm hearing.
This sounds great, it sounds really really good, and I
a suck for that kind of stuff when it comes
to zombies, where it's just kind of like the opener
of what's going down with the beginning stages of an apocalypse.
So I'm I'm really really stoked, And like I said
at the start of this cast, like Zach Kraeger, He's
got my full attention. Whatever he's doing, I'm there for it,
and if he nails this, I'd love to see him
just take off and do a whole variety of other
different horror projects because he's definitely found his his niche,
she's found his his full swing.
Speaker 3: So fuck yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Cool, all right, Well I think that that does it.
I think we can and this chapter and uh yeah,
we can go on home unless you have anything else
you want to ask you fucking oh my god, it's
our close out game. Sorry to Spooky, It's right, whatcking
freaks me out. I was playing Dead by Daylight not
too long ago too, and fucking hearing the bye you
by you.
Speaker 2: I can't believe how many deal cs that game has had.
Like I just see some and I'm like, I recognize
the gameplay, but these characters are so And then I
look in the d I'm.
Speaker 3: Like, they have like a fucking Risen Evil like crossover.
Speaker 2: They've had the fucking Nicholas Cage Vampire one, and like
even when I was playing, there was a lot of
like DLC contents and stuff.
Speaker 1: It's oh yeah, they got the Zeno, they got Chucky,
they got Zeno one there and the Xeno more.
Speaker 2: Oh god, okay, let's get it is cross play.
Speaker 1: I think it is.
Speaker 2: I used to play it on PC, you know, not
to be one of those guys, but I played it
like early Access beta, like I was one of the
ogs guys.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think I even got like the supporter pack back then.
But now it's on like everything, and it's on a
PlayStation catalog game, so I think I just have it
on PlayStation, which I'd probably be more inclined to play
on there because you never know what's gonna happen with
my computer.
Speaker 3: Some of these days.
Speaker 1: I think it is cross playing. I'd be down to
play with you. I remember when we were doing those streams,
the Sunday streams, that one.
Speaker 2: Time you just got that clutch when you were just
gonna be somewhere that it was like my highlight, my peak,
just fooling the huntress or whoever was at me. It
was probably the Bayou Bayou song, I think.
Speaker 1: So yeah, oh yeah, some good stuff. Cool Well, ladies
and gentlemen, thank you for tuning into this episode of
geek Verst podcast, your weekly geek. We will be back
