30
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:22,680
- Thank you, thanks for having me.

31
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:23,600
- Yeah, absolutely.

32
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,000
That was quite the introduction

33
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,720
and I wanna know more about Pi Day Die Day immediately.

34
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,040
(laughing)

35
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,200
- Good thing is, is you can actually watch it right now

36
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,200
on Toobie.

37
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,120
- Ooh, it's on Tubi, that's amazing.

38
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:41,120
- Yeah, it's a, we shot it back in, like, mid-2010,

39
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,200
around there and it's a film that takes place

40
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,720
on Pi Day on March 14th, where small Ohio town

41
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,480
and a bunch of murder start happening

42
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,120
and it's up to the high school math teacher

43
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,760
and a couple of detectives to try to figure out,

44
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,240
you know, who the killer is and what's going on.

45
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:05,400
- That's amazing.

46
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,520
- Sadly recently, our star of the movie

47
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,920
who played the high school teacher passed away.

48
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:13,800
So yeah, he was only 50 years old and passed away,

49
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:14,640
I don't know where.

50
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:16,480
So one of my best friends, he was a really good guy,

51
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,160
Mark Klein, his name, so yeah,

52
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,960
but you can check that out on Toobie.

53
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,040
As an honor to Mark, I recommend doing it.

54
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,320
So yeah, it's a really,

55
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,920
Pi Day's in a couple days from when we're recording this,

56
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:28,040
so we're gonna have to watch it.

57
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,760
- It's a, you know, it's a real low budget,

58
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,240
so don't go in expecting anything spectacular.

59
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,200
- I love a good low budget fest, I love that.

60
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,240
- That's amazing.

61
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,360
I saw Christmas horror and I was immediately interested.

62
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,400
I made a stew and episode actually about Christmas horror,

63
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,320
so that really speaks to me on that note as well.

64
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,760
- Shelf, Shelf is the follow up.

65
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,040
We're trying to get that on Toobie soon,

66
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:01,040
but that is a movie about a little elf on a shelf dial sort of thing.

67
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,440
(laughing)

68
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:03,440
The horror comedy as well,

69
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,400
and it paralyzes a family little girl and mom and dad

70
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,880
and everything, and then there's a psychiatrist

71
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,360
and everything trying to figure out what's wrong.

72
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:16,160
And you know, I feel like most parents

73
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,640
who participate in the elf on a shelf, Christmas,

74
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,840
Jabaka would really love that Christmas movie.

75
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,320
- They probably feel like the elf terrorizes them anyway

76
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,200
'cause they have to wake up and remember to move it every day.

77
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,200
- Yeah, literally.

78
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,480
Some of the ones that you see on TikTok are like,

79
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,040
"We made a production.

80
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,120
"We had to clean the whole kitchen after this."

81
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:38,960
- Oh my god.

82
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,080
- They're quite crazy, so for any parents,

83
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,080
couldn't do it.

84
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,200
- Yeah, I think it's good.

85
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,640
It's good, I would never do that.

86
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,560
Yeah, my best friend, Lindsay LaForest,

87
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,200
wrote both of those movies too, so any of the humor,

88
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,280
I will give credit to her, so.

89
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,560
- That's awesome.

90
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:56,400
- Yeah.

91
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:57,240
- I love that.

92
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,280
So how did you get started in your passion

93
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,320
of making films?

94
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,160
I mean, what kind of sparked that interest in you?

95
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,480
Was it from a young age?

96
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,920
- Yeah, I mean, I've always loved movie and theater

97
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,200
and stuff of that nature since I was a little kid.

98
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,800
Probably, I mean, like, I'm in my 40s,

99
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,720
and when I was a kid, I would watch American movie classics,

100
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,120
which is now AMC.

101
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:20,640
And there were old movies on there,

102
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:21,920
and I'd watch those all the time.

103
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,320
Like, I remember one night watching Rubble Without A Cause,

104
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,440
and that kind of just like blew my mind,

105
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,720
and I was like, okay, I need to do that somehow.

106
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,560
I don't know what that is, but I need to do that,

107
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,480
'cause I was probably about nine years old when I saw it,

108
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,000
and I was like, yep, that's something I need to do.

109
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,600
And I had a little like, real cheap video camera as a kid,

110
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,240
and we made movies in my backyard and stuff

111
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,240
that, you know, I don't know where they are now,

112
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,560
but the first one was like a horror movie.

113
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:49,760
I'm not even into horror movies,

114
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,320
but we did a horror movie when I was a kid

115
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:52,640
called the Unknown Paperboy,

116
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,000
and I played the Paperboy,

117
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,600
and then my cousin played the Paperboy,

118
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,560
and both of us have completely different frames, body frames.

119
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,480
Just no continuity at all.

120
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,000
I love that.

121
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,080
That's amazing.

122
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,240
Very cool.

123
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:09,080
Yeah.

124
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,600
And so what was the first film that you professionally

125
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,200
directed or produced?

126
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,200
The side's obviously the Paperboy.

127
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,200
Hey, hey, hey.

128
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,480
Oh, and probably, like when I got into college,

129
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,640
I started doing things, and I probably,

130
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,440
I mean, I made some like real short little films and stuff,

131
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:28,280
and I made short films,

132
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:30,040
I mean, most of them are short films in college,

133
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,920
and probably the first one was a weird movie

134
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:33,960
called The Book of Life,

135
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,080
where it was about a guy missing in the woods,

136
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,080
and his friends go off to look for him,

137
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,520
and he, it was like real surreal and weird,

138
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,680
and kind of, I was told it was David lynching in,

139
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,360
but I didn't even know what that meant at the time,

140
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,400
'cause I hadn't seen a lynch movie.

141
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,000
Thank you, I guess.

142
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,000
Yeah.

143
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,080
And then, yeah, it was like, he goes into the woods

144
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,680
and finds a book that supposedly has the meaning of life in it,

145
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,560
and then, and it's all this time in there,

146
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,200
and yeah, it was, it was bad, but yeah, it was.

147
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,280
I'm sure it was amazing.

148
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:08,120
That's awesome.

149
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,040
[LAUGHTER]

150
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:10,720
I love that.

151
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:11,640
So it's interesting.

152
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,240
You said you're not a big horror fan,

153
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,240
but we've made a few horror films.

154
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,080
I kind of brought you into that.

155
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,000
I mean, I like horror.

156
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,280
It's not that I don't like it.

157
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:22,720
It's just not my favorite genre.

158
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,640
I don't even know if I really have a favorite genre,

159
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:29,200
but it's, I think I like more of like, you know,

160
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,200
what I want to go into now, because I just

161
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,400
wrote a screenplay that's kind of a coming of age film

162
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,920
that takes place in the '90s, and with some teenagers,

163
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,080
I don't want to get away too much else.

164
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,280
But that's kind of more of my like, when I watch movies,

165
00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:46,360
that, or like I really like, you know,

166
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,200
movies based on true stories and stuff.

167
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,560
So that too.

168
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,480
But I don't know.

169
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,600
It's just horror kind of just fell into my lap,

170
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,480
because around in Toledo, where I lived,

171
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,560
I lived, I don't live in Toledo anymore,

172
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,800
but where I lived, there was the film community.

173
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,440
Everybody was making horror movie.

174
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,800
So it was just easy to like get on a crew to that,

175
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,440
and then eventually we filmed a movie at my best friend's

176
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,360
house, and she had never written anything.

177
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,840
And she's just like, I could write a movie,

178
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,040
and I'm like, I'll go for it.

179
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,560
And then so we made the two that I directed.

180
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:20,480
So yeah.

181
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:26,520
It's a real Matthew McConaughey moving into more films, right?

182
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:27,920
Everybody starts in horror.

183
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:28,440
So--

184
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:28,920
Oh, yeah.

185
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:29,520
Yeah.

186
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,720
We talked about that too on one of our episodes

187
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,000
was how many famous actors and producers have

188
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,040
gotten their start in horror movies.

189
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,520
And how it's like, horror doesn't usually

190
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,600
get the respect that it deserves sometimes,

191
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,720
because there's some masterpieces out there.

192
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,120
I like a lot of horror movies, but like I said,

193
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,760
it's not my favorite genre, but it's

194
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,760
they're easy to make to a lot of time.

195
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:53,680
They're fun.

196
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,160
It's not anything in horror is ever taken too seriously,

197
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,240
so it's kind of easy.

198
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,400
People will forgive mistakes in horror more

199
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,080
than they would in like a drama.

200
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:09,840
So you are also the host of a podcast called All Too Real Two.

201
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,160
Tell us a little bit about that.

202
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,400
What do you guys talk about in the show?

203
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,120
It's kind of just like a catch all pop culture show,

204
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,200
probably similar to yours.

205
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,800
But we talked-- we started out--

206
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,560
it's a sequel to another podcast.

207
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:22,200
That's why the two--

208
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,720
I was wondering what the two was there.

209
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:24,720
OK.

210
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,560
We used to have a podcast called All Too Real,

211
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,400
where we watched movies based on true stories.

212
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:31,480
But we got bored with that.

213
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,200
So we created a sequel podcast to do on the side.

214
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,960
And then we just stopped doing the original podcast.

215
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,160
Just stuck with the name.

216
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,960
We kind of started out originally doing movies

217
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,400
that were like directive video sequels, like Honey

218
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,840
We Shrunk ourselves or--

219
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:48,680
Oh my god.

220
00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:50,680
I remember that movie.

221
00:08:50,680 --> 00:08:53,520
Like, "2/3/2, Jingle All the Way, 2, both starring."

222
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:58,040
We can't get any of the original cast on there.

223
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,440
We have an ongoing hatred towards Larry the Cable Guy

224
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:02,480
on our podcast because--

225
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:03,800
Oh my god.

226
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:04,800
It's movies.

227
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:05,520
Yeah.

228
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,360
But-- or Dan Whitney was--

229
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,120
who's Daniel Whitney is his real name.

230
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:15,320
But my co-host is named Matthew Haas.

231
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,000
He goes by Sesame and Carter on our podcast, though,

232
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,240
because he just is him.

233
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,240
And Don--

234
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:22,240
Yeah.

235
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:23,240
Yeah.

236
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:24,240
Yeah.

237
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,680
We need nicknames, Olivia.

238
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:26,680
I know.

239
00:09:26,680 --> 00:09:28,720
We're just out here being boring.

240
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,120
We're going to live in our names.

241
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,600
Sesame and Carter.

242
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:34,520
Sesame and Carter.

243
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,000
Our early episodes were--

244
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,480
He went by his real name, and then eventually he just decided,

245
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:40,640
hey, I'm going to change my name.

246
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,720
And I'm like, OK, you go.

247
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:43,920
I'd go for it.

248
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,840
And Carter, isn't that like the old disk

249
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,240
we used to get as kids?

250
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:50,280
Like the--

251
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:51,880
That's what you're talking about?

252
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:52,920
Yeah.

253
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:53,680
Oh my gosh.

254
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:55,720
That might have been before your time, Olivia.

255
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,680
It was like an encyclopedia, and you could get it

256
00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:01,800
like a DVD or a disk and put it in your computer.

257
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,160
And that's how you research stuff.

258
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,400
It was like, whoa.

259
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,560
But not online.

260
00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:08,360
Yeah.

261
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:09,800
You had to buy the disk.

262
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,040
And you couldn't edit it.

263
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,080
It was kind of like an encyclopedia books that are encyclopedia,

264
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:14,960
but it was a disk.

265
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:15,960
Yeah.

266
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:15,960
Yeah.

267
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:16,840
That's amazing.

268
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:16,840
Yeah.

269
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:17,640
That's amazing.

270
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,080
Shana could tell by the glazed-over look in my--

271
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,040
Yeah, you were like, yeah, no idea that it is.

272
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,200
The head was nodding.

273
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:25,720
It's not.

274
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,920
You can't tell on a podcast, but there was nodding.

275
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,560
That's when the age gap comes out just a little bit.

276
00:10:32,560 --> 00:10:33,880
Just a little bit.

277
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,840
So you mentioned making a movie about kids in the '90s.

278
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,120
And you also mentioned during your 40s,

279
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,120
that's kind of when you grew up watching pop culture.

280
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,360
What were some of the stuff that you grew up watching

281
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:47,840
and that you were into?

282
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,960
Well, I mean, if we go into when I was in high school

283
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,360
and stuff, it was like Kevin Smith movies and things

284
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,480
of that nature that got me--

285
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,080
I'm friends with a lot of people that are in his universe now,

286
00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,160
just randomly.

287
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,440
I interviewed a couple of people from his films.

288
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:07,080
Yeah, it's interesting.

289
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,520
That kind of indie films is what kind of got me going back then.

290
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,200
But I mean, there was also when I was really young,

291
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,680
I was like Star Wars and stuff like that.

292
00:11:18,680 --> 00:11:19,640
A lot of sci-fi.

293
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,600
I was really into sci-fi as a kid.

294
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,240
So I was basically under the nobody's eye too.

295
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:25,000
So sci-fi.

296
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,760
[LAUGHTER]

297
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,920
Well, that is the perfect segue then,

298
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:35,080
because we are going to talk about a sci-fi show that was made

299
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,200
definitely before I was born.

300
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,600
1983's V, V, the original series.

301
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:42,360
Is that what we call it?

302
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:43,760
Or V, the mini series?

303
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:44,680
V, the mini series.

304
00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:46,280
Because then there's the final battle

305
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:47,840
and then the TV series after that.

306
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,560
That's right.

307
00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:53,240
So let's take a quick break and get into some sci-fi, 80s,

308
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:54,240
nerd dumb.

309
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:00,320
Welcome back.

310
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,760
So as we mentioned, Michael is joining us today

311
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,760
to talk about V. In 1983, NBC Television,

312
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,800
mini series about an invasion of seemingly friendly aliens

313
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,280
here on Earth.

314
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,680
The two-part mini series was the second most popular program

315
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:18,920
the week it was released and was followed by a sequel like Michael

316
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,440
mentioned called V, the final battle, which

317
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,760
came out a year later in 1984.

318
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:29,680
So now that I watched V, the mini series, really

319
00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:32,080
want to watch the final battle.

320
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,600
I loved it.

321
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:35,880
I did too.

322
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,520
I hadn't seen it in decades.

323
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,080
Yeah, so you watched it all the way through before.

324
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,040
This was your second viewing then?

325
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,160
Yeah, probably.

326
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,200
I mean, I think-- so OK, with my age-- and I'm 47.

327
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,400
So when it came out, I was probably about five or six.

328
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,440
Yes, that you were a kid.

329
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,680
Theygly remembered my parents watching it

330
00:12:55,680 --> 00:13:01,160
and freaking out when you could see the aliens being revealed

331
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:01,640
and--

332
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:02,640
Yes.

333
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:03,800
Yeah, I know.

334
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,200
--and nightmares for the longest time after that.

335
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:07,720
Yeah.

336
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,120
They're creepy.

337
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:10,720
They're creepy as hell.

338
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:16,120
It is really interesting to see how that piece of media

339
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,560
really kind of comes into popular day today.

340
00:13:19,560 --> 00:13:21,760
When I was watching it, I was like, oh, is this where

341
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,400
lizard people started?

342
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,800
Like, amongst-- the lizard people are among us.

343
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,560
Like, that kind of seed and kernel within conspiracy theories.

344
00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:31,920
Like, did it originate here?

345
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,040
Was that an original idea within the show?

346
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,200
That's something in the Los Angeles sewer system.

347
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,280
I don't remember it there.

348
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,680
I feel like I learned the backstory of that at one point.

349
00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:44,560
I don't remember what it was.

350
00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:46,800
The reason-- there is a conspiracy theory that

351
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:51,160
is really popular by a British former sportscaster.

352
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,200
And soccer player named David Ike about people usually

353
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,760
hire up in society like the queen or the president's.

354
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,560
Those are people wearing fake faces and stuff like that.

355
00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:03,600
Yes.

356
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,440
But I guess the conspiracy theory actually

357
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,280
dates back to about the 1700s originally.

358
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,240
So yeah, but I don't know the whole history of it

359
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,360
that I was reading a little bit on it the other day.

360
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,120
So yeah.

361
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,000
I still feel like it's a thing.

362
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,840
I remember even when Hillary Clinton

363
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,440
was running for president, people look,

364
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,800
you see her being a lizard person.

365
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,880
She's so stupid.

366
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:27,960
Yeah, there was--

367
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,880
see, you're thinking Hillary Clinton.

368
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,560
I was like, there was this Justin Bieber-like-faked video

369
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:38,760
of him turning into a lizard person in the 2010s.

370
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,320
So yeah.

371
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,120
So everyone-- everyone's a lizard person.

372
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:43,360
Everyone's a lizard person.

373
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:44,880
I can't help her.

374
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,560
Anybody except for Donald Trump or something.

375
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:48,480
But yeah.

376
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:48,960
Oh yeah, no.

377
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:49,600
He's perfect.

378
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,200
He could never possibly be a lizard person.

379
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:52,080
He could never lizard.

380
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:52,800
Never lizard.

381
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,520
No.

382
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,400
So people who have-- I had never heard of V before.

383
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,600
We decided we were going to watch the show and discuss it.

384
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,040
So for other people like me, who might not have heard of it

385
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:08,960
before, it begins when a massive alien spacecraft of peers

386
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,280
over multiple cities worldwide.

387
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,320
The aliens called visitors--

388
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,840
or that's what people kind of colloquially start calling them--

389
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,760
look human, but wear sunglasses and speak with kind of a weird

390
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,640
inner vocal effect in their throats.

391
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,880
They are led by their supreme commander, Diana,

392
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,400
who is hot as hell.

393
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:29,520
Oh my god.

394
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:29,800
Yeah.

395
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:30,600
Beautiful.

396
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,040
What a fox.

397
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,360
Even eating that guinea pig, I was like, I'm

398
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,000
like, I'd let you eat me.

399
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,200
You can eat my guinea pig any day, Diana.

400
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:40,000
Listen.

401
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,200
Sorry, Michael.

402
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:45,280
Oh, no, you're little.

403
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:46,360
This is us.

404
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,240
This is us.

405
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,720
So the visitors claim to come in peace, seeking chemicals

406
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,360
and minerals to save their dying planet.

407
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,280
And initially, everybody's like, oh my god, the visitor is

408
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,880
yay, and there's action figures made.

409
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:06,600
And slowly but surely, they start to take over the government

410
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:11,280
and take over the media, brainwash people.

411
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,600
The visitors are not our friends.

412
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:14,520
You guys?

413
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:15,000
No.

414
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:15,480
Yeah.

415
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:16,520
No.

416
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,400
Well, and I think it's important to kind of say,

417
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,160
like how they got us to believe them, just knowing what we

418
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:28,120
know today about the way that we embrace new cultures is they

419
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,960
come in and say, like, if you give us resources,

420
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:35,000
we will cure you of all of your problems, all of your resource

421
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,200
issues, help you heal the earth, help you cure diseases.

422
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,920
And so they really kind of promise, like, hey, we have all the

423
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:42,600
answers.

424
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,000
And we'll give them to you if you just give us some of your resources

425
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,640
from your factories.

426
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,240
I mean, they make it seem like it's going to be a peaceful kind

427
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,520
of quid pro quo situation.

428
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:59,080
But I think it's just-- it speaks obviously in allegory

429
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,360
for just the rise of fascism, right?

430
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,880
And they even have the grandfather who

431
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,680
was a survivor of the Holocaust, who

432
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,480
can see his dumb ass grandson--

433
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,760
God, that grandson's the worst character.

434
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,520
I hate it, though.

435
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,200
Oh, I don't even remember his stupid name, but he was the dumb--

436
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:18,280
The dumb jock.

437
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:19,480
The dumb jock.

438
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,120
Daniel, I think it was.

439
00:17:21,120 --> 00:17:21,640
Yeah.

440
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,320
Daniel, what a dumb jock name.

441
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:23,920
I'm just kidding.

442
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,000
If your name is Daniel, we love you.

443
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,400
Love you, Daniel.

444
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,480
Join Patreon, Daniel.

445
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,920
His grandfather has to watch his grandson join this fascist

446
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,120
movement.

447
00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:40,320
And like, he's basically seeing history repeat itself

448
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,840
from Naziism that he survived and that heroingly

449
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,960
tells his wife die.

450
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,760
I got a little misty when he was talking about his wife dying

451
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,240
in the Holocaust.

452
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:52,800
And I mean, it's basically--

453
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,440
he was part of the visitor youth, which

454
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,240
is the Hitler youth.

455
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:58,360
He's exactly.

456
00:17:58,360 --> 00:17:59,360
So yeah.

457
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:04,480
And even their symbol looks quite a bit like a swastika.

458
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,520
And the uniforms are very like Utah.

459
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,080
It's Harry, and I guess is the word.

460
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,320
And it's very much symbolic.

461
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,000
I mean, in Grandpa Clark's at the minute he sees them.

462
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,440
He's like, nah.

463
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,000
That was reading though.

464
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,040
I was reading something, Robert England, who

465
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,680
was better known as Freddie Krueger.

466
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,400
He was the visitors in this, and he was Willie.

467
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:29,160
And he said that he was at a convention.

468
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,320
And somebody came up to him, and they

469
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,800
had that symbol tattooed on their chest.

470
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,000
Oh, no.

471
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,680
And he had to try to explain to them.

472
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,960
He's just like, yeah, you might not

473
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,560
want to do that.

474
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,360
Yeah, that's not what you think it is.

475
00:18:42,360 --> 00:18:44,960
It reminds me of when people were getting the death mark

476
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,560
or whatever from Harry Potter.

477
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,360
And I'm like, it's kind of like a Nazi symbol.

478
00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:53,760
Yeah, like a magical Nazi.

479
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,880
Maybe you don't stop me that.

480
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:57,600
Oh, man.

481
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,280
I did like Robert England as Willie.

482
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:00,960
And Willie was definitely like--

483
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,240
you got a soft spot for him.

484
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,640
So it was kind of nice to see that some of the visitors

485
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,480
were trying to break away from the, you know,

486
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,160
authority or the government and stuff

487
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:13,480
that they didn't agree with.

488
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,200
Like the one visitor who was helping our main character,

489
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,720
Mike, throughout the movie.

490
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,320
For the mini series, I guess.

491
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,440
Yeah.

492
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,800
It was really interesting to see how they kind of--

493
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:30,400
like, I was just analyzing like the 1980s character tropes

494
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,920
within the humans as well.

495
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,400
And I think that one of the things they really had

496
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,800
was like the career woman.

497
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,120
It was just like so self-serving.

498
00:19:40,120 --> 00:19:44,560
And like, is only looking to move herself forward

499
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,080
versus like the angelical, like mom, who just wants

500
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:49,040
to save everyone.

501
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:50,840
I thought that juxtaposition.

502
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,440
Whereas now, like, if they adapted it

503
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,080
and I know they did it in the 2000s,

504
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,960
like, would that be such a, you know,

505
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,840
clear, like self-serving business woman trope,

506
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,320
like the with the reporter?

507
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:03,120
Yeah, it's like the--

508
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:11,520
I think the adaptation in 2011, the like spokesperson

509
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,600
for the aliens is a man.

510
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:14,680
Oh, interesting.

511
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,040
So yeah, I think Scott Wolf plays like a reporter in it

512
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:19,160
from what I remember reading.

513
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,800
I only watched it once or something when it was on.

514
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,400
I would didn't really get into it.

515
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:24,160
So yeah.

516
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,640
I don't even remember it being on.

517
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,120
But I definitely want to continue at the '80s series.

518
00:20:28,120 --> 00:20:30,960
I'm like, I got to see what happens next.

519
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,800
I do-- I think that's interesting, Olivia.

520
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:37,240
Like, there are some intense stereotypes in this movie,

521
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:38,280
right?

522
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,760
There's intense racial stereotypes.

523
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:45,160
And I think it's just a product of its time being in 1983.

524
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,080
But it was still so progressive for its time

525
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,400
and what it was speaking to.

526
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,480
I was like, I'll give it some grace

527
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,800
for some of these more like moment.

528
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,280
Yeah.

529
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,560
The two African-American brothers were the ones kind of,

530
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,480
like, jive talking, I guess.

531
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,600
And then the other one's kind of smart doctor.

532
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,400
Like, it can't be those two, I guess.

533
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:09,840
No, it has to be one or the other.

534
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,320
And then like the Hispanic Gardener guy

535
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,920
with his cowboy hat on the whole time.

536
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,040
Yeah.

537
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,320
But I think what they're speaking to

538
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,480
and what they're getting at in the series

539
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,200
is so progressive for the '80s and something

540
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,200
that needed to be heard.

541
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,840
So I was like, all right.

542
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,600
Sadly, really, really holds up.

543
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,280
And a lot of the things that are going on now,

544
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,400
where you've got like these people

545
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,840
that were just disappeared on there.

546
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,360
And then recently we had

547
00:21:40,360 --> 00:21:45,800
McMood, Colliel, a protester from Columbia

548
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,240
who just was disappeared.

549
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,680
And eventually, but you know, things like that

550
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,000
are just happening with our government.

551
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,280
So I meant to mention all the concentration camps,

552
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:57,880
but that's what they are.

553
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:58,720
Yeah.

554
00:21:58,720 --> 00:21:59,920
No, 100%.

555
00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:01,400
I think it's sad how much

556
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,000
it stands up today.

557
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,760
And like I remember Mark was on,

558
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:06,760
or I'm sorry, Mike.

559
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,800
The actor's name is Marcus Characters Mike.

560
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,760
Mike was on the ship at one point and was like,

561
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,520
how did you guys even let somebody

562
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,560
that terrible get into power in the first place?

563
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,160
And he, the visitor was like,

564
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,240
I don't know, people didn't realize it at first

565
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,080
or he made a lot of great promises

566
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,200
or he had a big personality and was charismatic.

567
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,440
And I was like, no, that's weird.

568
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,120
Sounds a little familiar.

569
00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:33,840
But no, yeah, the people going missing

570
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,960
is definitely a little on the nose right now.

571
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,080
And it's really scary.

572
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:39,920
I mean, I know for me,

573
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,800
I'm very outspoken about progressive issues.

574
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:43,640
Oh, same.

575
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,040
Us too.

576
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:46,920
I knew we'd like you, Mike.

577
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,160
Okay.

578
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,840
I'm just really worried.

579
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,160
I'm like, okay, should I say any of this stuff

580
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,520
I'm lying anymore or not?

581
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,640
Because who knows?

582
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,000
But yeah, I'm gonna still do it regardless.

583
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,000
If they want to put me in a camp, go ahead.

584
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,960
I mean, and it just, it's like the letter in the movie

585
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,640
that I keep calling it a movie,

586
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,280
but it felt like you know, just two movies,

587
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:08,480
the way we watched it.

588
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,800
The letter that Grandpa wrote and was like,

589
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,640
you guys need to stand up and fight.

590
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:15,960
This is what's right.

591
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:17,640
When his granddaughter was like,

592
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,360
I don't know, I don't, this seems dangerous.

593
00:23:19,360 --> 00:23:20,440
We were already kidnapped.

594
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,520
We got away barely with our lives.

595
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,280
And it was like, no, I mean,

596
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,640
it's like that famous quote and I'm gonna butcher it,

597
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,520
but it's like, first they came for the communists

598
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,800
and I didn't stand up 'cause I'm not a communist

599
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,320
and then they came for the Catholics

600
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,600
and I didn't stand up 'cause I'm not a Catholic.

601
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:37,720
And then they came for me

602
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,200
and there was no one left to stand up for me, right?

603
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,040
So.

604
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,040
- It's funny too.

605
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,960
Like even with that, they censored that poem

606
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:45,840
when it first came out.

607
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,440
It was originally, they said socialists

608
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,040
instead of communists.

609
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,680
- Interesting.

610
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,840
- 'Cause they didn't want to put any emphasis

611
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,440
on communism until they needed to.

612
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,920
Like basically they already were setting up

613
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,240
the whole idea for the Red Scar,

614
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,000
which is another thing that's very similar

615
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,240
to what's happening here.

616
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,760
So yeah. - Yeah.

617
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:03,840
- Yeah.

618
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:04,880
- That's so interesting.

619
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,480
So have you watched the rest of the mini series?

620
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,240
Did you want, or the final battle?

621
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:11,560
- I probably did.

622
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,000
I just don't remember it.

623
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,120
So yeah. - Yeah.

624
00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:17,160
I'd be very interested to see how they wrap it all up

625
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:22,160
and if they continue with like the political allegory

626
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:26,000
and if it's, you know, how did they save it?

627
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,600
Maybe we could take some notes.

628
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:28,920
(laughing)

629
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,560
How did they stop fascism?

630
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,000
- I was doing some research on like what it happened.

631
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,160
Like Kenneth Johnson who created,

632
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,880
he wrote the mini series and created it.

633
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,600
He was, he had creative differences with them

634
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,160
for the final battle. - Yeah.

635
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,160
- And were taken off the project.

636
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:50,680
They basically rewrote a lot of the stuff.

637
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,600
They still had to give him credit,

638
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,280
but he decided to change his name to Lilian Weezer

639
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:56,880
for some reason.

640
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,400
- Interesting, fan name.

641
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,320
He went on to create the series afterwards though, right?

642
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:03,760
- He still gets creative credit,

643
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,280
but he had nothing to do with it.

644
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:06,280
- Interesting.

645
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,360
Did he come back for the 2009 one?

646
00:25:08,360 --> 00:25:09,400
- He gets creative credit,

647
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:10,520
but he had nothing to do with it.

648
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:11,800
- Nothing with that one either.

649
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,960
- He's like, he's in his 80s now

650
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,440
and he's still trying to do a movie remake of the original.

651
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,600
- He's said it was, it was a good idea.

652
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:21,960
I'm gonna keep it going.

653
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,880
- It was a good idea, but come on bro.

654
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:24,720
- Come on.

655
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,440
- I know there were some comic books as well,

656
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,640
but I didn't go a chance to pick it.

657
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,560
- So what I understand, the TV series

658
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,520
just was real lower budget.

659
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,920
And it was turned into kind of like a,

660
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,480
like they said dynasty with aliens.

661
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:40,760
Like it was like,

662
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,760
like a nighttime soap opera, but with an alien.

663
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:43,920
- Oh god.

664
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:45,400
I definitely got that.

665
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,280
Like between the love interests

666
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,240
and the main guy in it,

667
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,800
where he's just like this Casanova,

668
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:56,800
who's like he was making everyone fall in love with him.

669
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:01,320
And yeah, I think that one of the most interesting things

670
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,240
about this show and how prophetic it was

671
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,520
was them really just straight going for the scientists.

672
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,840
And of course we, we all lived through 2020.

673
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,840
We've seen it continue into other things,

674
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,160
but it was really, it wasn't necessarily people

675
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,720
that could physically overthrow them

676
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,080
or physically fight them,

677
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,600
but mentally would ask questions.

678
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:29,600
And it really just kind of like spoke to this target demographic

679
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,360
that people would go after,

680
00:26:32,360 --> 00:26:35,960
which are people who are making educated questioning

681
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:36,760
and things like that.

682
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,680
- Yeah, anybody willing to stand up and like fight back

683
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,760
and actually question the things that they see

684
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:42,920
around them for sure.

685
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:43,760
- And it's like right now,

686
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:44,760
we're they're trying to dismantle

687
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,800
at the Department of Education.

688
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,680
And we've stuck up a thing where everybody just,

689
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,200
you know, somehow thinks that Dr. Fauci was an evil person.

690
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:54,120
- Am I right?

691
00:26:54,120 --> 00:26:58,520
- I had a, I mean, it's just yesterday at my work,

692
00:26:58,520 --> 00:26:59,840
we have like a meeting every night

693
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,840
and there's this older guy, he's like in his 70s.

694
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:07,040
And he started saying some outlandish COVID conspiracies.

695
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,840
I'm like, dude, it's 2025.

696
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,240
- Yeah, man, get a new conspiracy, come on.

697
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,800
- Maybe don't though, 'cause I don't want to see

698
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,240
what they come up with next.

699
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:18,240
(laughing)

700
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:22,680
- This guy has all these alt right conspiracy

701
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,480
of the party. - He's a gate bullshit.

702
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:25,520
Yeah.

703
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,840
- But he was, he scared me because I corrected him

704
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,880
and he was yelling at me.

705
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,880
Like I literally felt like a little kid all of a sudden.

706
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:37,720
I was just like,

707
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:38,800
- I hate that feeling.

708
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,680
I hate that. - He got that crazy eyes going.

709
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,360
- My boss had to like calm him down

710
00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:44,880
because he was just going off like crazy.

711
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,120
You know, that's the type of thing

712
00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:50,960
where people get so baked into their conspiracies.

713
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,600
- They're confronted with the truth

714
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,400
and don't know how to handle it, right?

715
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,120
And it's like, and then we get,

716
00:27:57,120 --> 00:28:01,120
it's very rare as an adult that you get yelled at like that.

717
00:28:01,120 --> 00:28:01,960
Right?

718
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:02,800
So that's why you're like, oh God,

719
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:03,880
you start to feel like a kid again.

720
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,640
But then you have to be like, wait a minute, I'm right.

721
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:07,480
Wait a minute.

722
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:08,360
(laughing)

723
00:28:08,360 --> 00:28:09,920
- I was like, this guy's the dumbass.

724
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,000
- And he's like yelling at me and I'm like,

725
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,000
my parents never even yelled at me like this.

726
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:13,840
- Yeah.

727
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:14,680
(laughing)

728
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,800
- It's like when the truth is right in front of you.

729
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,600
It reminds me of that movie, don't look up.

730
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,600
That came out two years ago and God,

731
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,680
that was for the most fucking frustrating movie

732
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,000
I've seen in so long because the truth is literally

733
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,520
just right there if you raise your head and look at it.

734
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,360
But that was such a conversation of just,

735
00:28:34,360 --> 00:28:36,120
you know, the MAGA movement too,

736
00:28:36,120 --> 00:28:38,320
that it's just like it's right there guys.

737
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:39,160
Come on.

738
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:44,160
- Yeah, you can, I mean, my father who is in his late 70's,

739
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:48,200
he's very much a Trump supporter and he,

740
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:53,200
I will tell him something and he, I'll show him facts

741
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:59,840
and he's like, are you sure that wasn't like AI or something?

742
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,400
And I'm like, you don't even understand how AI works.

743
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,440
(laughing)

744
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,400
- But then when they see something that is AI,

745
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,920
like a picture of Jesus surrounded by like ducks

746
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,640
and scarlet joeants and they're like,

747
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:11,880
oh, hashtag blessed.

748
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:12,880
Amen.

749
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,800
- Comment amen for blessings.

750
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:15,640
- Yes.

751
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:16,480
- Okay.

752
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,640
(laughing)

753
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,560
- Jesus is just hanging out with an Avenger.

754
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:21,400
Yeah, they're basically.

755
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:22,240
- Yeah.

756
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:23,240
(laughing)

757
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:24,840
- Oh, hashtag blessings.

758
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,960
I got that viral video a couple years ago where she's like,

759
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,040
mom, mom, they found Jesus, he came back and the mom's like,

760
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:32,720
she'll be the video.

761
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:33,560
I want to see you.

762
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:34,560
- Show it to me right now.

763
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:35,400
- Yeah.

764
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:36,880
- She starts a weepie.

765
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,560
- Oh my God.

766
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,360
- Sometimes I regret the day we,

767
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,640
we taught parents how to access Facebook and Instagram.

768
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:44,720
- How to internet.

769
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:45,760
- Yeah, how to internet.

770
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,280
Like, would we have been better off

771
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:49,680
would this have ever happened?

772
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,880
That's like that butterfly effect of,

773
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,560
if we just didn't give them the information,

774
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,680
like would this have ever happened?

775
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:57,920
But, you know.

776
00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,960
- It was like a year ago that my dad found out

777
00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:02,920
that there was more to the internet than Facebook.

778
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:04,200
- Oh gosh.

779
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,240
I can actually look at facts on here.

780
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:07,240
- I can.

781
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,600
- He's like, he just thought that the internet was Facebook

782
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,120
and I'm just like, that's adorable.

783
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,320
- You sweet, sweet summer child.

784
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,840
(laughing)

785
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,000
- Good man.

786
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,360
It can be used for good, it can be used for evil.

787
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,560
It's like, yeah, honestly, anything

788
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,720
because there's been so many ways

789
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,520
that I've organized over Facebook

790
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,200
for progressive movements and causes

791
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,280
and for abortion rights over the summer

792
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:35,440
and then it can be used to spread some fascism

793
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,400
and some visitors style propaganda.

794
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,680
- Yeah, and this movie, let's what's said,

795
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,800
this mini series or movie or what I'm gonna call it,

796
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,280
it's a very poignant,

797
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,920
I actually think people should watch it.

798
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,120
- I totally agree.

799
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:52,760
- But it's available, I mean, it's on Plex

800
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:53,840
or something that's where I found it.

801
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,680
- Plexi, me too, yeah.

802
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,120
- Something's like a film.

803
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:58,280
- You've been in prime video, I think.

804
00:30:58,280 --> 00:30:59,960
- Oh, Plex and Prime, okay.

805
00:30:59,960 --> 00:31:02,600
- Like, I think I'm a prime, you have to pay for it.

806
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:03,440
- Oh.

807
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:04,440
- Pretty sure, but yeah, so yeah.

808
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:05,280
- Plex, pluck it up.

809
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:06,120
- Yeah.

810
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:07,280
(laughing)

811
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:08,120
- Yeah.

812
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,480
- Well, I definitely recommend it to anybody who,

813
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,040
I don't know, anybody who's a fan of sci-fi

814
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,240
or who just, I mean, anything that you've listened to

815
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,640
I say and you go, okay, yeah, that sounds like something

816
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,720
that I would be interested in wanna support too.

817
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,440
Check out V, 1983.

818
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,000
Watch a lady swallow a guinea pig hole.

819
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:28,840
- It's hot.

820
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:29,680
- It's hot.

821
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:30,840
- It's what's metal.

822
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:31,680
(laughing)

823
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:32,680
- That's it, just watch that.

824
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,920
- Honestly, like Diana just, oh, so beautiful.

825
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:37,960
- Take that part.

826
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,320
- So beautiful, but so beautiful.

827
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,000
- So evil and so beautiful.

828
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:41,840
- Yes.

829
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,400
- Sometimes I go hand in hand, you know?

830
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:44,240
- Yes.

831
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:45,240
- Yeah.

832
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,400
(laughing)

833
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,400
(dramatic music)

834
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:56,800
- So besides old 1983 mini series,

835
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,400
what else have you been into lately, you guys?

836
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,400
What are you watching, reading, listening to?

837
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:06,480
- Yeah, so on the note of anti-science,

838
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:11,480
I actually have been watching this new Netflix TV show.

839
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:15,040
It's called Apple cider vinegar.

840
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:19,240
It's also based on this documentary

841
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:24,240
or this woman named Belle Gibson, who in the 2010s,

842
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,840
she came to popularity over being an influencer

843
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:33,840
on Instagram who had a malignant brain tumor

844
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:38,400
and cured herself via juice.

845
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:39,400
- Jesus.

846
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:40,240
(laughing)

847
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,240
- And so she built this huge brand.

848
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,840
- Olivia put cured herself in quotes, by the way,

849
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,120
for anyone just listening.

850
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:47,960
- Yes.

851
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,280
- Heavy finger parts.

852
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:50,120
- She used to use herself.

853
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:51,360
- Yes, yes.

854
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,080
And so it's, she really blew up.

855
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,520
She had an app called The Whole Pantry

856
00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:00,400
and really was one of these like original wellness,

857
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,080
health gurus who built a brand around it

858
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,760
and then created like a productized service.

859
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,200
She was very, very well known.

860
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,840
She was an Australian influencer.

861
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,480
And ultimately it came out that she lied

862
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,480
about having cancer, the entire time.

863
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:16,800
- I shocked.

864
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,360
- Right, exactly.

865
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,880
And so the documentary kind of tells the story

866
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,880
of how she did it, how like she was found out

867
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,080
and all this stuff.

868
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,720
And then Apple cider vinegar is based on that

869
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:30,680
and that Netflix made it.

870
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,960
And it's a dramatized version of that story.

871
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,320
I'm only a few episodes in so far,

872
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:37,840
but it's really, really good.

873
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,400
I like the way that they do it.

874
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,040
They kind of break the fourth wall

875
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,960
and have each of the characters talk to the camera

876
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,020
and kind of be like a, you know,

877
00:33:47,020 --> 00:33:49,200
sly bag style, I would say.

878
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,280
And it's really, really good.

879
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,880
And so I would definitely pop that.

880
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:55,800
And then Netflix is just putting out

881
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,800
some crazy documentaries right now.

882
00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:58,640
- Yeah.

883
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,280
- Did you watch the Gabby Patsito one?

884
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:01,280
- Yes, I do.

885
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,520
- I knew you'd would, I knew you would.

886
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:04,640
That was good.

887
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,560
But they actually just came out with this documentary

888
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,640
called Chaos, a Manson murder story.

889
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,760
I think this one is called Manson Murners.

890
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,720
And it's based on this book called Chaos by Tom O'Neill.

891
00:34:16,720 --> 00:34:21,080
And the book itself alleges that Charles Manson

892
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,280
was a part of the MK Ultra Study

893
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:29,120
and that he was actually used by the CIA

894
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,120
to and taught these tactics.

895
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,400
And that's ultimately how he gained divine control.

896
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,360
I read the book, like four years ago.

897
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,080
The book is amazing, Chaos by Tom O'Neill.

898
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,560
And the documentary is based on that book.

899
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,040
It's super interesting.

900
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,160
It goes into how Charles Manson was connected

901
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,000
to Jolly West, or Dr. Jolly West,

902
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,600
who's really big in the MK Ultra side.

903
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,680
And very, very interesting.

904
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,960
If you don't wanna read a, you know,

905
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,360
a 24 or 12 hour book, then you can watch the documentary.

906
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:01,200
And it can be--

907
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,680
- Michael Olivia reads like 45 books a month.

908
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:04,520
It's insane.

909
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:05,760
(laughing)

910
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:09,760
- Hey, I'm on 18 books this year so far.

911
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:10,760
- Sure.

912
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,080
- I've been an avid reader, but--

913
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:14,400
- Far more than me too.

914
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:15,560
- Yeah.

915
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:16,480
(laughing)

916
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,720
- I think, I mean, I find Manson is interesting too.

917
00:35:18,720 --> 00:35:22,120
It's like, I know he has connections to Scientology too.

918
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:23,360
So-- - Yes.

919
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,720
- So yeah, it's really interesting.

920
00:35:25,720 --> 00:35:30,720
- There's an author, I think, I don't know if it's in Blue Sky,

921
00:35:30,720 --> 00:35:33,000
but there's an author who wrote Blue Sky.

922
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,760
I can't remember his name right now,

923
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:39,160
but he makes a big argument that he wasn't a part of MK Ultra.

924
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,280
He was actually a part of Scientology.

925
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,560
- Which I've never heard that conspiracy before.

926
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:45,880
I don't know if that's what you wanna call it,

927
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,320
but that's interesting.

928
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,000
- Which is so scary to think, like,

929
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,480
oh, we just have this air quote, religion

930
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:57,120
that is so similar to a CIA Mind Control program.

931
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,520
- Right, that's so many rich and famous people follow.

932
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:01,640
- Yes, exactly.

933
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,680
So I would definitely pop those.

934
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,760
It was really, really interesting to see a manipulation

935
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,440
and then ultimately, you know, denying of science

936
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:12,240
for both of those.

937
00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:14,200
So, oh, God.

938
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,400
You watched all this, like, deep shit.

939
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:17,400
Mind's not gonna be--

940
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,400
(laughing)

941
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,840
(laughing)

942
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,800
Well, now that we got the smart junkie out of the way,

943
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,440
I watched the first two episodes of Daredevil Born again

944
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,000
on Disney Plus.

945
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:35,840
I am a huge Marvel fan girl.

946
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,920
Like, I will consume any and all of the MCU

947
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,000
and be an apologist for most of it.

948
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:47,800
But for those who don't know, Daredevil Born again is,

949
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,840
there was a devil series on Netflix.

950
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,320
It's gosh, 10 years ago, that was amazing.

951
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:59,320
And after the invention of Disney Plus,

952
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,680
those Netflix shows for a minute kind of seemed

953
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,440
like they weren't gonna be canon.

954
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:05,800
And now they are.

955
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,800
And we've seen Matt Murdock, a K.A. Daredevil,

956
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,080
make his way back into the MCU.

957
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:15,760
And so finally, this is his revival slash continuation

958
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,080
of his story that we left off

959
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:21,680
when the Daredevil show stopped on Netflix.

960
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,960
The first two episodes, I will not spoil it

961
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:25,600
for anybody who hasn't watched yet.

962
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:29,680
Start with a bang, they go, just hit the ground running.

963
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,000
It's insane.

964
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,920
- Would you think about the beginning

965
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,680
that I'm not gonna spoil either?

966
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:35,840
That had--

967
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,480
- I was devastated, but I called it.

968
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,520
I told my husband before we even started it.

969
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,600
I was like, I feel like blank, any blank, blank,

970
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:45,600
skin of blank.

971
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,480
And he's like, why do you think that?

972
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:51,320
I just got like a feeling.

973
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:52,840
(laughs)

974
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:54,160
What did you think about it?

975
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,680
- I knew it was gonna happen.

976
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,440
I had a feeling and then I was disappointed though

977
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:00,280
at the same time.

978
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,240
I was like, okay, but yeah, it's Marvel.

979
00:38:03,240 --> 00:38:04,640
They'll do what they do.

980
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:05,640
- They will do what they do.

981
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,480
There is also a comic book storyline

982
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,120
where that is--

983
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:12,120
- Part of the first.

984
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:12,960
(laughs)

985
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:13,800
- Part of the first.

986
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,320
- Yeah, like how do I say this without spoiling it?

987
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:17,760
So maybe they'll go that way.

988
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:18,600
- Hopefully they do.

989
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:19,440
I mean, who knows?

990
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,200
- Yeah, I hope so.

991
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,200
- I'm not supposed to happen in season two with that,

992
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:25,040
but so yeah.

993
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:25,880
(laughs)

994
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,240
- Oh God, I love that we both know exactly

995
00:38:28,240 --> 00:38:31,880
what we're talking about, but try to so hard not to spoil it.

996
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,600
- I have anything, but yeah.

997
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:34,840
(laughs)

998
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:35,920
- Yeah, I was actually gonna,

999
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:37,040
I was gonna actually mention that

1000
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:38,360
as something I've watched recently,

1001
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:42,960
but also more on the line of faking cancer.

1002
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:44,960
I watched Scamanda.

1003
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:46,400
- What's that?

1004
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,280
- Documentary on Hulu.

1005
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:49,960
I think it was on ABC or something,

1006
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:54,000
but I had listened to the podcast years ago when it came out.

1007
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:59,000
It's about this woman who was like a internet blogger.

1008
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:04,560
I think it was before like Vity.

1009
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:05,640
- There were influence services.

1010
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:06,840
- Yeah, influence her.

1011
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:11,680
And she faked having cancer for years

1012
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,200
and got all this money out of people.

1013
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,440
They would pay for trips to her to go to Broadway

1014
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,080
and see Hamilton and whatnot.

1015
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:19,920
- Oh my God.

1016
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:20,760
- For that.

1017
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:25,760
Yeah, and she just faked this whole thing for years and years

1018
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,680
and got a lot of money out of people at her church

1019
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:29,880
and different things.

1020
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,520
It was interesting that that was interesting.

1021
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:36,160
And then I also watched another documentary.

1022
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:41,160
It was about this, oh my God, about this woman who's in jail now.

1023
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:43,640
I can't remember the name of the documentary,

1024
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,520
but it was about this woman who was another,

1025
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,800
she was a mom influencer online with a family blogging.

1026
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,480
- Oh, Ruby Frankie.

1027
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:52,560
- Ruby Frankie, that's it.

1028
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:53,720
I was blanking the name.

1029
00:39:53,720 --> 00:39:56,880
Yeah, I watched the documentary about her and oh my God.

1030
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:58,640
- Does she fake cancer too?

1031
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,760
- No, she abuses her children.

1032
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,360
- Oh God.

1033
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:03,560
- So horrible.

1034
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:04,720
- Yeah, we watch all of these.

1035
00:40:04,720 --> 00:40:06,480
These all sound fascinating and terrible

1036
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,160
and I wanna watch them all.

1037
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:09,480
(laughing)

1038
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:10,320
- God, that's horrible.

1039
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:11,480
I have to watch it again.

1040
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:12,560
- I watched that.

1041
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:16,240
Well, I think of this documentary from back in the day

1042
00:40:16,240 --> 00:40:19,200
that I, back in the day, was probably like 10 years ago.

1043
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,240
Called The Woman Who Wasn't There.

1044
00:40:22,240 --> 00:40:24,280
- Oh yeah, yeah.

1045
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:25,800
- Yes, oh my God, I love you.

1046
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:26,920
If you haven't watched this one,

1047
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,560
she has this whole fake ass story

1048
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:33,000
that she was in one of the towers of September 11

1049
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,280
with a plane hit.

1050
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:38,400
And she gets tons of money, tons of sympathy

1051
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:42,200
and runs a charity for survivors of September 11th.

1052
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:46,000
And as the title suggests, she was not there.

1053
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,760
- Yes, yeah, I have seen that.

1054
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:48,600
Crazy.

1055
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:49,760
For people are, you know.

1056
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:53,800
- I love stories about scammers and people that fake things,

1057
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,720
even though I think it's horrible that they do this,

1058
00:40:55,720 --> 00:40:58,440
but it's really intriguing.

1059
00:40:58,440 --> 00:40:59,440
Yeah.

1060
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,120
- I think it's like, how do you get to that point?

1061
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,640
Like I am someone who is obsessed with colds.

1062
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:09,000
And I just find it so interesting, like manipulation.

1063
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,080
And it's also like, how do you get manipulated like that?

1064
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,160
And then also what type of person can manipulate

1065
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:16,000
in that way?

1066
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:17,600
I think it's just so interesting.

1067
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,120
And I think scammers really follow into that,

1068
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,080
but on like a one-to-one basis as well.

1069
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:26,240
- Everything that you just said brought us right back to V.

1070
00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:27,080
- Yeah.

1071
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:27,920
(laughing)

1072
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:28,920
- Right back to V.

1073
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:30,160
Who scams?

1074
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:34,080
Who has the power to manipulate people like that over time?

1075
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,680
- And that is the visitors.

1076
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:38,520
- Yeah.

1077
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:41,280
- I also recently listened to a podcast.

1078
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:42,440
It's called The Opportunist,

1079
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:43,680
which they have different seasons,

1080
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:45,400
but in this one was about Tim Ballard,

1081
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:50,400
the Operation Underground Railroad guy who, yeah.

1082
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,840
- Yeah, it's a--

1083
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:53,840
(laughing)

1084
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,360
- The guy trying to fight petafiles who,

1085
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:58,200
and you know.

1086
00:41:58,200 --> 00:41:59,200
- The movie sound different.

1087
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:00,800
- It's actually harassing people.

1088
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:01,640
- Yeah.

1089
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:02,480
- Oh my gosh.

1090
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,240
I am not familiar with this.

1091
00:42:04,240 --> 00:42:05,240
- Interesting.

1092
00:42:05,240 --> 00:42:08,960
- If you wanna go down the craziest rabbit hole.

1093
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:13,800
So Mormon Stories podcast does a whole series

1094
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:17,280
about Tim Ballard and who he's connected to

1095
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:18,920
within the Mormon church.

1096
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:22,920
And then he's like two or three degrees separated

1097
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:26,440
from Laurie Valow and Chad Daybell,

1098
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,840
as well as Jody Hildebrand,

1099
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,280
who's the therapist for Ruby Frankie.

1100
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:36,280
- Like you get, you see the spider graph of Mormon,

1101
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,560
Mormon like influencers,

1102
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:42,320
and ultimately like Doomsday individuals.

1103
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,200
And yeah, it's crazy.

1104
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:45,680
Mormon Stories has some really good ones.

1105
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:47,360
I'll have to check out The Opportunist,

1106
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,040
but yeah, he's a crazy person.

1107
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,400
- Yeah, my ex-Fiancé was raised Mormon

1108
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,360
and she used to tell me all these crazy stories

1109
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:59,060
about just growing up Mormon and, yeah,

1110
00:42:59,060 --> 00:42:59,900
- Yeah.

1111
00:42:59,900 --> 00:43:00,740
- It's wild.

1112
00:43:00,740 --> 00:43:03,540
- It's sadly like abused by some people in church

1113
00:43:03,540 --> 00:43:04,860
and different things like that, yeah.

1114
00:43:04,860 --> 00:43:05,860
So yeah, just.

1115
00:43:05,860 --> 00:43:07,980
- My dad's, for my mom's side of the family,

1116
00:43:07,980 --> 00:43:09,220
was raised Mormon.

1117
00:43:09,220 --> 00:43:11,100
- So it's my dad's family.

1118
00:43:11,100 --> 00:43:12,100
- Yeah, yeah.

1119
00:43:12,100 --> 00:43:13,540
- Like at all us.

1120
00:43:13,540 --> 00:43:14,380
- Yeah.

1121
00:43:14,380 --> 00:43:15,380
- Could have been Mormons.

1122
00:43:15,380 --> 00:43:16,220
- Oh, yeah.

1123
00:43:16,220 --> 00:43:17,060
(laughing)

1124
00:43:17,060 --> 00:43:20,420
- So if you wanna watch some really messed up documentaries,

1125
00:43:20,420 --> 00:43:21,580
this is the episode video.

1126
00:43:21,580 --> 00:43:24,060
- This is the Andeer Devil, Andeer Devil.

1127
00:43:24,060 --> 00:43:24,900
- Andeer Devil.

1128
00:43:24,900 --> 00:43:25,740
- Andeer Devil.

1129
00:43:25,740 --> 00:43:27,740
- I would say Palette Cleanser,

1130
00:43:27,740 --> 00:43:29,300
but I don't think those first two episodes

1131
00:43:29,300 --> 00:43:30,860
are Palette Cleanser for anything.

1132
00:43:30,860 --> 00:43:34,220
Here's a great Palette Cleanser to close out the episode though.

1133
00:43:34,220 --> 00:43:37,100
Lady Gaga just dropped LG7.

1134
00:43:37,100 --> 00:43:40,620
It is a new album called Mayhem.

1135
00:43:40,620 --> 00:43:42,700
♪ And it is a banger ♪

1136
00:43:42,700 --> 00:43:43,980
It's full of bangers.

1137
00:43:43,980 --> 00:43:48,420
It's like Synth Pop 80s dance.

1138
00:43:48,420 --> 00:43:51,100
I mean, I can't wait to go to the gay clubs and just dance.

1139
00:43:51,100 --> 00:43:53,980
- She was great on FNL recently

1140
00:43:53,980 --> 00:43:56,420
when she hosted musical guest, so.

1141
00:43:56,420 --> 00:43:57,260
- Oh, yeah.

1142
00:43:57,260 --> 00:43:59,540
- I still haven't gotten to watch it.

1143
00:43:59,540 --> 00:44:02,020
I've just been so busy the last couple days.

1144
00:44:02,020 --> 00:44:03,700
I need me and my husband to just sit down

1145
00:44:03,700 --> 00:44:05,020
and just watch it.

1146
00:44:05,020 --> 00:44:06,860
- Are you even a little monster?

1147
00:44:06,860 --> 00:44:08,420
- I know.

1148
00:44:08,420 --> 00:44:10,100
And I've been trying to avoid spoilers

1149
00:44:10,100 --> 00:44:12,380
so that anytime I see it come up on Instagram,

1150
00:44:12,380 --> 00:44:13,620
I scroll fast because I'm like,

1151
00:44:13,620 --> 00:44:15,300
"We have to watch it together."

1152
00:44:15,300 --> 00:44:17,260
(laughing)

1153
00:44:17,260 --> 00:44:18,740
So you like Lady Gaga?

1154
00:44:18,740 --> 00:44:19,540
I'm like,

1155
00:44:19,540 --> 00:44:20,380
- A little bit.

1156
00:44:20,380 --> 00:44:21,220
- Yeah.

1157
00:44:21,220 --> 00:44:22,900
- I've had,

1158
00:44:22,900 --> 00:44:26,740
you know, I'm not like a Lady Gaga fanatical monster.

1159
00:44:26,740 --> 00:44:28,060
- Yeah, a little monster.

1160
00:44:28,060 --> 00:44:30,780
No, I've just, you know, I like her,

1161
00:44:30,780 --> 00:44:33,580
but I don't like love her.

1162
00:44:33,580 --> 00:44:34,540
- I feel that.

1163
00:44:34,540 --> 00:44:36,300
So I am a huge fan.

1164
00:44:36,300 --> 00:44:39,500
Olivia feels that way about Taylor Swift.

1165
00:44:39,500 --> 00:44:41,500
And she's kind of,

1166
00:44:41,500 --> 00:44:42,620
she's converted me.

1167
00:44:42,620 --> 00:44:45,980
- You might see her in the background, honestly.

1168
00:44:45,980 --> 00:44:46,980
- Yeah.

1169
00:44:46,980 --> 00:44:48,900
- I'm a stand of Taylor Swift.

1170
00:44:48,900 --> 00:44:51,380
Shauna's a stand of Lady Gaga.

1171
00:44:51,380 --> 00:44:53,940
And we've slowly made each other kind of meet in the middle.

1172
00:44:53,940 --> 00:44:54,780
- This is true.

1173
00:44:54,780 --> 00:44:56,100
- This is her friendship.

1174
00:44:56,100 --> 00:44:59,260
And we both very much stand Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

1175
00:44:59,260 --> 00:45:01,260
So, how can you not?

1176
00:45:01,260 --> 00:45:02,540
- Original Girl Crush.

1177
00:45:02,540 --> 00:45:05,100
- And that's speaking of my, my, my ex-fiancé.

1178
00:45:05,100 --> 00:45:07,420
I'm so mad that she stole my angel

1179
00:45:07,420 --> 00:45:10,220
and Buffy the Vampire Slayer DVDs when we broke up.

1180
00:45:10,220 --> 00:45:11,220
- No.

1181
00:45:11,220 --> 00:45:12,900
- That's the worst, man.

1182
00:45:12,900 --> 00:45:13,740
- No.

1183
00:45:13,740 --> 00:45:14,920
- Yeah.

1184
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:16,180
- Go get those back.

1185
00:45:16,180 --> 00:45:18,060
When me and my roommate in college,

1186
00:45:18,060 --> 00:45:19,340
hi, Jessica, love you.

1187
00:45:19,340 --> 00:45:21,020
We, we bought them together.

1188
00:45:21,020 --> 00:45:24,540
And then when we eventually, you know, met men and moved out.

1189
00:45:24,540 --> 00:45:25,380
- Yeah.

1190
00:45:25,380 --> 00:45:28,140
- I took like, she took seasons one through three.

1191
00:45:28,140 --> 00:45:29,780
And I took like four, five, six.

1192
00:45:29,780 --> 00:45:31,180
It makes no sense.

1193
00:45:31,180 --> 00:45:34,820
We just split down the middle like parent trap style.

1194
00:45:34,820 --> 00:45:35,820
(laughing)

1195
00:45:35,820 --> 00:45:36,660
- Yeah.

1196
00:45:36,660 --> 00:45:39,020
(laughing)

1197
00:45:39,020 --> 00:45:43,860
- Well, I think it is about time for us to wrap up.

1198
00:45:43,860 --> 00:45:46,500
So, thank you again so much, Michael.

1199
00:45:46,500 --> 00:45:48,900
It was so nice to chat with you.

1200
00:45:48,900 --> 00:45:49,740
- No problem.

1201
00:45:49,740 --> 00:45:50,780
Thank you for having me.

1202
00:45:50,780 --> 00:45:51,620
- Yeah.

1203
00:45:51,620 --> 00:45:53,020
We need to do this again sometime.

1204
00:45:53,020 --> 00:45:56,100
