[00:01:22] I am joined as always by my partner in crime Brad. What's up? How's it going? Oh you know it. Just getting ready for this friggin con. I know. Hopefully our booth will go over well. From Insider, I haven't revealed what we're doing.
[00:01:38] We're doing Pizza Hut this year from the 90s. Hopefully it will go well. That's all I have to say. Yeah and we've got that panel to do so hopefully that goes well.
[00:01:50] I know. I don't have a lot of faith in it because it's July 4th at 6 p.m. And who's going to come see us July 4th at 6 p.m.? Just the weirdest people I think. Most likely. Or has that been told the least patriotic people?
[00:02:08] Traders to this country will not be celebrating. They'll be at our panel. Yeah. Good, good. Every week we see a new movie and we podcast our experience to the world. This week we saw The Bike Riders. Stay tuned where we will recommend the film or not,
[00:02:28] play the trailer and then boil the movie. We'll also talk about movies we watched throughout the week and more nerd ramblings. Brad, how are you this week of June 21st? Like I said, just scrambling to get this booth done so we can have an awesome con.
[00:02:46] And I've been like, you know, every waking hour just either driving somewhere to buy materials or staying up late to make a prototype of something that I don't know how to do like the chandelier, which I wasn't going to do at all. But then everything else.
[00:03:02] Wait, whoa, whoa, you're going to do a chandelier? Yeah, just buy one because they're like $300 and they don't say real nerds on them. But how much is your time worth, Brad? That's the most important question. It's very, very valuable, but to real nerds, it's priceless.
[00:03:19] Perfect. Well, you know what? I bet not only are you going to make it, but it's going to look so great. People are going to be confused at the con and they're going to want to order pizza from us. That's my goal. That's what I hope.
[00:03:31] I hope I just completely, I just want to see bewildered looks from people that just can't stretch their brain just a little bit and see what like, yeah, what we're doing. That's what I love to hear. Hey, Brad, we saw a bike rider quote unquote this week.
[00:03:51] Do you wait? I haven't said it wrong. It's technically the bike riders. Brad, do you recommend the bike riders? It's like, it's fine. I didn't, it wasn't that interesting to me. And the movie kind of just holds your hand the whole time.
[00:04:10] Really, there's like a narrative that just says like, here's what happened and then you're just kind of long for the ride, so to speak. So, but yeah, there's nothing that really stood out or surprised me that much, but the acting is fantastic. So there's that.
[00:04:25] Yeah, I'm in the same boat. It's a fine movie, but there was nothing narrative wise or you know, story wise or character wise that I was that shocked when I was watching. I think he said it best to kind of hold your hand and you're just
[00:04:43] literally, it feels like you're just in the moment just hanging out with these dudes. I don't know. Yeah. Hey, here's a trailer for the bike riders. I built this crew nothing. You're the man in charge of Johnny. This is our family.
[00:05:02] Who's a good looking guy over at the pool table? Hello? Five weeks later, I married him. Hey, what'd you think that jacket off? You'd have to kill me to get this jacket off. I don't want any trouble. What about the bar? Find it out. The club is changing.
[00:05:36] They ain't gonna follow nobody except somebody who can hold their own. Is that who we are now? He keeps writing, he's gonna die one way or another. I need you. Some people would rather crash than slow down.
[00:06:11] The bike riders follows the motorcycling gang that's put together by Tom Hardy in Chicago. It kind of charts their path from not even early conception because when we meet the vandals, they're already kind of a motorcycle gang.
[00:06:35] But the formation of when Jody Khomear's character, who I can't remember her name, comes into the scene. You saw this movie a lot more recent than I did. I saw it a premiere of it a couple of weeks ago.
[00:06:55] My memory is a little fuzzy here on June 21st. Wow. That's a rare Ryan Sot before me thing. Interesting. I mean, that's probably why I can't remember the main character's name. Yeah, I got you. Thank you. I memorized them all. Perfect.
[00:07:14] Eddie Brock is also the leader of the motorcycle gang. It just follows... All kingside, it follows Benny who's Austin Butler and he's kind of the quiet rebel guy. And they even talk about how even Johnny who runs the gang is jealous of Benny because he just doesn't care.
[00:07:39] He's just too cool for anybody. He really is. And so it really is. It's just... Kathy telling the story about how she met, fell in love, fell out of love with Benny and then it picks up like right there.
[00:07:55] I only know a little bit about the back store for this because I saw it at the Alamo and they had a... The pre-show they had a little bit about the book and stuff.
[00:08:08] So it was a book that this guy wrote and took pictures of this actual motorcycle gang and what happened to them. And it was... I mean like I said, and you said it's...
[00:08:21] There's a lot in this movie but it doesn't really feel like anything happens if that makes any sense. I don't know. Yeah, there's no surprise because the interviewer Danny, he's interviewing Kathy the whole time so Kathy is doing all the narrative dialogue over everything.
[00:08:41] And she's just explaining in a very linear fashion everything that happens. So yeah, you're just sitting there listening to her talk and then everything just kind of transpires as you expect. There's no time jumping around or... I don't know, like any twists to anything.
[00:09:00] Even the bad guys, the kids who want to join the motorcycle gang, you knew that they were going to kill Johnny because just the way they're framed on camera and their attitude, you know what I mean? Even his death didn't shock me.
[00:09:20] Yeah, I kind of saw it coming because that's like well... I mean this is either going to go one of two ways and yeah, I don't... Either one's not surprising but yeah, it's kind of classic. It's almost like Goodfellas.
[00:09:33] It's like the classic thing of like you're too big and then the guy at the top couldn't hang on to all the strings and then he lost control of everything. So then the next generation took over. I mean there's some fun parts.
[00:09:46] It's kind of early in the film when Benny is running from the police and he runs out of gas and gets arrested. That's pretty funny.
[00:09:56] When Norma's read it, Rita shows up and just like kind of joins the gang and no one's quite sure what to make of him. Because that part was fun when he said he came for that guy and he's going to kill him.
[00:10:08] And he's like, I'm not going to do it because I don't want to. Yeah. The fight at the picnic where they beat each other's asses and then they kind of stop and become friends. I mean there's some fun moments but... I mean it's well shot, it's well acted.
[00:10:25] I don't know. I guess I was never... stuff like Easy Rider and movies like that never really moved the needle for me. Yeah, bike culture is not a good thing for me.
[00:10:36] And like you said the actors are great and they all look cool but it's just... it is what it is for me. I could never... I don't know the right wording but it's a fine film.
[00:10:49] I don't think you have to see it in theaters. I think it's one of those ones you could definitely stream and... You're not missing much because there's no like bombastic score or anything, you know?
[00:11:04] Yeah, I see it in theater if you want to hear like the best version of motorcycles I guess but... Yeah, the best part of the bike riders for me was I was the only one in the theater.
[00:11:19] I went... actually I lied earlier. I did not see this earlier for a premiere. I actually saw this. I know I lied.
[00:11:30] I saw this the week after with a quiet place because I had to work so many hours and I just couldn't fit in a two and a half hour long motorbike. Motorcycle movie. You're a phony. You're a big phony. Wow, that's a deep cut on a joke.
[00:11:48] I haven't watched a lot of Family Guy lately. Yeah, it's great. So it was really funny. I'll just tell this story because it's interesting. So I actually saw a quiet place first and I was the only one in the theater for a quiet place.
[00:12:03] And I ordered a Coke Zero and Popcorn and Popcorn and Coke Zero get refills for free at the Alamo. But I didn't think it could transfer movies, you know what I mean?
[00:12:14] So I moved from a quiet place to the bike riders and I was the only one in the bike riders too. And I had the same server and she came in and she said, hey, do you just want a refill on your Popcorn and soda?
[00:12:30] And I said, I can do that. She said you're the only one in this whole theater of these last two movies, like the whole Alamo draft house. And I was like, okay. So it's pretty nice of her. And I was all by myself for two straight movies.
[00:12:45] It was kind of awesome. Damn, living the dream. I know and it happened again. I'll have to tell you about it in the future. Not now because we are definitely recording this not three weeks late.
[00:12:59] And I'll tell you another story in two weeks time and you'll go back and be like, wow, it's like a connecting tissue. I'm like the MCU of seeing movies lately. But yeah, that's what I got for bike riders. Did I miss anything, Brad? Anything you want to share?
[00:13:20] Yeah, not that. Yeah, it's just, yeah, that's pretty much all that happened. Hey, we watch things throughout the week in a segment I call what we've been watching. So yeah, this is the stuff we've been watching. Brad, would you watch this week? Oh gosh.
[00:13:45] I mean, even though I'm working on this booth pretty hard, I still managed to put in a few screenings of things at home. Let's see. Yeah, I saw a French film called Fantastic Planet. Have you ever seen that? No, but I know it's a really famous sci-fi film.
[00:14:07] Yeah, it's a weird animation thing. Pretty much in the style of like, you know, like in Monty Python, like the animated cutout parts. That style. Very similar to that. About like... Yeah, exactly. I watched the criterion of it.
[00:14:29] And yeah, it's just about like this planet that has a ruling class and a peasant class. And the ruling class eventually tries to exterminate them. And a lot of the movie is the peasant creatures trying to escape and then eventually fight back. And that's it.
[00:14:55] It's just kind of weird and surreal animation stuff from, yeah, back in the 1970s. Is it a movie you'd recommend people see? I mean, I think if you like really niche artistic films, I guess.
[00:15:15] Yeah, I wouldn't say as far as animation goes like, hey, you should show us to Kellan. You know, it's just very weird. Like, yeah, in the vein of heavy metal or the animations from like, yeah, Monty Python stuff. Yeah. And it's not terribly exciting either.
[00:15:34] The music's quirky, but yeah, the story is just kind of weird and hard to follow. Because like everything in the movie is just, yeah. Hey, here's a normal thing. How can we make this make it weird? Yeah.
[00:15:53] And then the other thing I watched was a movie called, also from a criterion collection called Kuroneko. Oh, what is that? I never heard of that. Yeah, it's a Japanese film from 1968.
[00:16:07] So there's these Samurais who are wander through the forest and they wander on to like this, I guess, house that's like haunted by women. And then like, they're actually like cats, like black cats. So Kuroneko.
[00:16:28] And yeah, they just kind of like lure these Samurais into their house and kill them. Because a Samurai wants some pussy. Yeah, like I just thought like ninjas were the like, like they're the assassins and then Samurais were like the, you know, like proud warrior types.
[00:16:50] But in this movie, like they just like pillage and rape women in villages. So that's why this like one house, they're luring the men in to kill them. Yeah, and it's all in black and white.
[00:17:03] And there's like some really cool special effects of like compositing, you know, which is like really impressive for 1968. And yeah, it's just like weird and moody and all in black and white. So probably definitely on Zaxalus somewhere. Black and white moody. Yeah, sounds like something you'd watch.
[00:17:24] Yeah, just a big revenge movie. I'm always down for revenge movies. Yeah. I think the Japanese do them really well. I watched Lady Snowbird and the Return of Lady Snowbird, which is also on criterion.
[00:17:37] And they're not like, I don't want to say they're not great movies, but they're just really cool revenge movies and their shot really cool.
[00:17:48] And I mean, there's one scene that's right in the beginning where she just slices and dices all these dudes in snow so blood splatters everywhere. Japanese cinema is really cool at doing that kind of film. Yeah. Yeah, that's my extent of Japanese cinema.
[00:18:08] Is there good at revenge thrill thrillers? Yeah, anime and revenge thrillers. God obviously like, yeah, ninja scroll. Yeah, great example. I saw that in the back of the theater too. I know I'm gonna have to go see it in the theater. I've never seen a theater.
[00:18:26] It'd be fun. Maybe I'll take Corinne to see my style of anime into the theater. I know. I think I saw it as a midnight at the Mayan back in like the early 2000s. Really? Yeah. I wonder what Corinne would say if she saw a ninja scroll.
[00:18:45] Yeah, I don't think she would like it. No, I don't think so either. It'd be fun. I don't know if it's the dude banging the chick from behind or the serpent coming out of the woman's vagina. I don't know what part she wouldn't like the most but...
[00:19:00] Or the dude's face getting cut in half and then sliding off. Oh no, that's awesome. I mean everybody likes that shit. No, I like it. I'm just saying she wouldn't. Okay, cool. Yeah, so what'd you watch? A couple things.
[00:19:15] I watched a Charlie Chaplin film I've never seen but I meant to see it for the longest time. Are you even watch silent films? Or is that something that interests you at all? I know you made a couple student film where it stopped motion in their silent.
[00:19:30] You know, but... Absolutely not. Film cannot exist without sound so that's my stance. Yeah. No, of course. Less dialogue the better apparently but just as a rule. I wasn't sure if you watched Charlie Chaplin films or not. It's not like they're very available.
[00:19:52] Some of them are on criteria. Those are the ones I always... But you have to buy the criterion for like 40 bucks. Come on man. You wait until there's a sale like this month at Barnes & Noble. I mean next month at Barnes & Noble and they're half off.
[00:20:10] So so easy just wait till a specific time of the year. Yeah, and I'll let you know the secret. It's only July and November is the criteria half off sale at Barnes & Noble. So just remember that.
[00:20:24] So yeah, so City Lights is one of his most famous films and for some reason I had never seen it. And I'm doing this thing in case this is your first real nerds episode. Is I have 321 and counting, Blu-rays I've owned and I haven't watched.
[00:20:39] So I just wrote them all down randomly and I assigned them a number from 1 to 321. So they're not in alphabetical order at all. It's just totally random and then I do a random number generator and I take that number and then I see what movie it is.
[00:20:57] And this happened to be one of them and in it Charlie Chaplin of course plays the tramp. He has no money but he sees a blind woman who is selling flowers.
[00:21:10] And so he kind of falls in love with her and buys one flower and he eventually becomes friends with a super rich guy. But the rich guy is only friends with him when he's drunk and doesn't remember that he's friends with them.
[00:21:26] But basically it's just silly physical comedy and but it has a really sweet story with the flower girl. Because it's just a cute film and you have to see. And the cool thing about Chaplin is not only did he act in him but he's the writer director.
[00:21:44] He also wrote the music. He did pretty much everything on these films. So he's he's a it's pretty impressive when you watch them. It's a really cute movie and the criterion is great. It has a couple cool documentaries on it.
[00:21:58] And the the other thing I watch is the first Omen which came out in movie theaters. But I did not go see it. But it popped up on Hulu because the Omen series they're either hit or miss and the trailer really didn't do anything for me.
[00:22:24] But after it came out it actually has a really high rotten tomato score and people are talking about how scary the movie is. And I watched it and it's good. Brad you get scared in movies anymore. Not really.
[00:22:40] I know I can't even think about the time where a movie made me feel uneasy. But the movie is actually pretty good. It deals with this none. It's a lot like Immaculate that came out also this year.
[00:22:55] This none goes to a what are the none places I remember basically an orphanage. Yeah there we go. But it has children or young girls that are orphans and they take care of them while she's there. Lots of crazy stuff happens and yeah. Yeah.
[00:23:20] She is what is real. What is it real who's really evil kind of unwinds from there and I mean the title gives it away.
[00:23:33] It takes place obviously before the Omen and so yeah so you kind of know how it's going to get to where it's going to get. But just how good Sarah is cool. There have been so many like demonic possession Catholic Church movies this year. It's insane.
[00:23:53] I mean yeah it's definitely the it horror genre right now you know. Yeah I don't know how like how people still find that scary like they're all yeah like what. No one's really done anything new with it that I can see.
[00:24:11] No and that and it's you know it's always now too it's really big to do contorted bodies and you know the yeah stuff that's in like almost every horror film now. Yeah so yeah and that that's what I watched this week.
[00:24:30] Karen sent us some showtime stuff that I haven't listened to yet but here it is. Hey nerds Karen here for another installment of Showtime and also just to let you know that I am still around not as active but I am still around.
[00:24:46] Apologies to anybody who follows me on Twitter your girl just went down the Star Wars rabbit hole so there's that. Speaking of Star Wars because apparently it's like the only thing I talk about these days.
[00:24:58] I do still have my fans and men's review it's over a month old at this point but I figured I would share that with you guys but before that real quick.
[00:25:06] I wanted to give my thoughts on the first half of the acolyte as of recording this we have gotten four of the eight episodes so far. I'll admit I was not a big fan of the first two.
[00:25:16] I was just kind of like okay I don't know it just felt like a start it felt like Star Trek discovery to me and I don't I don't know if it was like the production value or just the way it was written or paste or something.
[00:25:28] It just felt a little off but then the third episode pretty much hooked me and then of course the episode that came out last night episode four was you know it ended on a big cliffhanger and I was like okay well I'm definitely hooked now.
[00:25:42] So my roommate and I have been watching it and we're already like trying to plan out like next Tuesday night like what are we going to do so I'm definitely a fan of Star Wars continuing to do these weekly drops but specifically at like prime time like US time.
[00:25:58] I know that when the bad batch was dropping new episodes it would come out like 1am mountain time midnight Pacific time and of course a lot of folks overseas really appreciate that because it comes out like prime time their time but I'm like I mean it would be nice if it came out you know not at 1am in the morning or not.
[00:26:20] Yeah anyway but you get it so I'm liking these weekly drops and weekly drops at prime time so if Star Wars Marvel whoever Disney plus people if they keep doing that I think that will that will really help because you know it just yeah it makes it more of like a water cooler kind of moment.
[00:26:40] Yeah seeing everybody on Tuesday night being like oh I like like yeah so so far again it was a rocky start but I'm hooked now so I want to see how the rest of this plays out so should be fun.
[00:26:56] Alright so now here is my Phantom Menace review again I know it's over a month old at this point but I felt like I should share it so here is my review of the 25th anniversary edition of the Phantom Menace enjoy.
[00:27:09] Hey nerds Corinne here for another installment of Showtime where I tell you all about something cool I've been watching this week as I said last time I went and saw the Phantom Menace for the 25th anniversary re-release and I actually had a pretty fun time.
[00:27:24] I haven't seen it in maybe five years I think I watched it when we did film explosion 1999 because I'm pretty sure it wasn't my number one that year so I must have re-watched it.
[00:27:37] I haven't seen it on the big screen I don't think since I don't know maybe since it first came out but yeah it was actually a lot of fun it held up both better and worse than I would have thought.
[00:27:50] I was actually surprised at how quick that opening 40-45 minutes is between when the opening and then by the time they get to tattooing and even tattooing I was like okay now we're going to really slow down this is where it all just comes to a grinding halt.
[00:28:11] And actually no like it I mean it slowed down a little bit but it did keep a fairly brisk pace up until we got to the pod racing scene and I did notice that there were some new shots added into the pod racing sequence by the way.
[00:28:26] And I think that part of the reason why I mean okay I'm going to say I like the pod racing sequence but I think that a lot of people don't like it because up until that point I don't think we've had a scene that's lasted longer than like three minutes.
[00:28:42] And now we get this fairly prolonged sequence because even the pod racing by itself is I don't know what like nine ten minutes but then if you account for all of the like preparation you know like all the conversations in the staging area all the conversation
[00:29:01] you know the bedding and everything beforehand it's a fairly long sequence.
[00:29:06] And again I think the actual pod racing itself is well done and of course I mean I'm like I'm not necessarily on the edge of my seat but I was like I was entertained I was like you know I know how this plays out already but okay you know I'm along for the ride and yeah so actually yeah the first part of the movie still not entirely sure how the taxation
[00:29:30] of trade routes leads to the Trident Federation invades Naboo but I understand it's like we just needed a confrontation or we just needed this conflict so that Palpatine could use the queen as a pawn to gain more political power in the senate and become supreme chancellor.
[00:29:47] It's like I get that on a grand scale still confused on a micro level of like how exactly like taxing trade routes causes the Trident Federation to invade Naboo. Okay and also why is the supreme chancellor sending Jedi knights don't the Jedi Knights kind of go themselves.
[00:30:06] I don't know how that works so yeah.
[00:30:10] As far as like you know once we were going to Coruscant I was like okay like I was really entertained by all the scenes with like Ian McDermid you know he does a very good balance of like being the kind of emperor to be figure where he's like kind of sinister like you can definitely tell
[00:30:32] like there's more to him there's more to him than meets the eye you know very transformers but he holds back just enough that you can understand why everybody around him thinks he's just this like kindly old man and he means well and he's you know he's
[00:30:45] rooting for us and he's on our side and he's gonna get stuff done and in fact no he's not and he's out for his own power his own political leverage.
[00:30:57] But yeah when he's talking about like oh here come the bureaucrats and they're gonna really bog things down and I'm like bro that's you you're the bureaucrat. No I'm just kidding well I mean he is but yeah.
[00:31:11] Yeah and then when we get to the the forest ran battle there at the very end and it kind of held up worse than I remember when I was like I mean I remember going to see this in the theater several times when I was kid and by the way shout out to my poor parents for having to take me to this movie so many times.
[00:31:32] But the battle at the end like I liked the pottery scene obviously I liked the battle at the end but now looking back as an adult I'm like man the music the dual the fates music carries so much of that.
[00:31:52] You know all the battles and everything at the end especially the lightsaber fight I'm not gonna nitpick the choreography because other people do that and also I don't think it's fair because it's like you can nitpick just about anything in any movie.
[00:32:05] But I do think that there are certain decisions of like how the fight plays out that you know like the music makes the fight feel so much more grand and epic than it actually is.
[00:32:22] But there is like the one shot where so like Obi-Wan falls and he kind of looks up and he sees Qui-Gon going off with Darth Maul and I'm like you know what that shot like something about that shot just feels so heavy because of course we know what happens with where Qui-Gon dies and it's like that was the last time that you know this separation between them.
[00:32:46] Like that's never he's never gonna be able to get over that you know what I mean like you're never going to be able to close that gap because Qui-Gon dies.
[00:32:55] Also just the tiny little things that happen that it's like oh like the droid that hits Anakin's fighter causing it to go into the droid control ship I'm like oh so that just changed the fate of the whole galaxy right there along with the fact that there's this like little notch or something that Obi-Wan's able to hold on to after he falls into the pit.
[00:33:15] After Darth Maul knocks him back and he like grabs onto this I don't know what it is some kind of like a sensor maybe but he's just holding on to it until he just does the flip over Darth Maul which yeah that kind of like again when I was a kid it really was like oh that's so cool and it's like I guess the reason Darth Maul wasn't expecting it is because he forgot about Qui-Gon's lightsaber so he figured like okay Obi-Wan's gonna come at me but I'm gonna just like slice him down.
[00:33:45] I don't know how that yeah it's like yeah why didn't Darth Maul just attack him? Why did he let him just flip over him?
[00:33:58] And then the whole fact that Darth Maul comes back later in the Clone Wars so it's like so Darth Maul gets cut in half falls hundreds of feet down a shaft and ends up surviving for like 10 years but Obi-Wan or Qui-Gon gets stabbed in the stomach and then he's like oh yeah.
[00:34:15] And then he dies. I mean I know they say like oh revenge or vengeance or whatever like kept him alive it's like sure I mean I can't imagine that Qui-Gon being the kind of you know paragon of virtue that he's supposed to be not that he is because he's definitely like shady about like oh well you know kind of ends justify the means with like Anakin and slavery and everything but he is supposed to be this like Jedi night this paragon.
[00:34:45] So I can understand why he's like there are potentially you know whether it's force healing or medical care whatever you know maybe he senses like no this is my time like I'm supposed to go.
[00:35:00] Poor poor Obi-Wan I did feel bad for him because he gets sidelined so much in the like middle third of the movie and then you know cause Qui-Gon's off with Anakin and everything and then he comes back and Qui-Gon's like yeah train the boy like I don't have any parting words for you other than train the boy.
[00:35:20] It's like okay but yeah somehow better and worse than I remember it. It is kind of weird to think like this is a Star Wars movie like it feels so different than the rest of the prequels.
[00:35:35] And I think I was pointing this out to Jerry it's like they shot so much of this on location you know the Tatooine and they had Italy I think when they shot it for Naboo and yeah like I said both better and worse than I remember it being a kid because I definitely like the Phantom Menace a lot when I was a kid.
[00:36:01] I mean I don't remember if there were a lot of people who were hating on it at the time but if there were I was definitely a defender of it and in a way I still am but yeah.
[00:36:13] It was fun to see it on the big screen and I'm sure that in three years when Attack of the Clones has its 25th anniversary I will probably be in the theater to go see that so that's where I'm at.
[00:36:26] I had fun and now I want to go watch a bunch of like prequel memes and you know clips of like the battle droids being funny in the Clone Wars series because of course in the Phantom Menace they're very serious you know they're very
[00:36:43] supposed to be a threat but of course later on in the Clone Wars animated series they're very much not a threat they're very funny but anyway so yeah if it's still in the theaters go see it I guess but I had fun so alright nerds I'll talk to you guys next time about something and until then keep it real nerds bye.
