 Welcome to the show. I have notes show where people with surprisingly full IMDB pages come together to talk about animation, creative things, and Nintendo Directs. I am one of your hosts, Issa Badiola, and I have with me today my very lovely co-host. I'm lovely. Also, somebody started hammering outside my window. I'm Carrie Shockross, we're joined by the OGs, the original gamers, Aaron Nguyen. Hello, Aaron. Gamers, rise up. Jordan Swears, who has to follow that. Gamers, sit down. It's OK. They didn't stand up. They never stood up. Yeah, they never stood up. Yeah, Aaron really stole my thunder. I was going to make a joke about how I just started hammering outside Carrie's window. Funny, you should have been knocking on your your wall back there. You're like, I'm hammering on Carrie's. I think I think it stopped. I'm worried if I talk too loudly, they'll hear me and keep going out of spite. Hello, everyone. Hi, how's it going? How's it going? It is it is going. It continues to go. It do not quit. That's my answer for how that was a great I have notes, everybody. That's it. Please like and subscribe. Jordan, we haven't seen you in a while. Where have you been? I'm good. I took I took some time off by which I mean just away from being on the show. Yeah, from you don't really need a vacation from work, but just us. Yeah, it's us. And even if I took an actual vacation, where would I go? Yeah, I have nowhere to go. Basically, this room. That's the way you said that. I feel like you sounded like a muppet. Hmm. Is it is every OK? This is like the low energy episode. No, high energy. OK. Yoke gamers, rise up. Gamers, rise up. Well, what is what is the thing that made you happy today? Oh, is this what we're doing now? Yeah, this is this is a recurring bit. We've had like the last three or four weeks now is we all start. It's it's like, OK, close your eyes. What is that? You smell something. What is that turkey ham? It's like Thanksgiving dinner. You're sitting at the table, Jordan, starting with you. What are you thankful for? What's made you happy today? Can we open our eyes? Jordan, Jordan can't. Everybody else can. I still closed. OK, thank you. What has made me happy today? I let out an actual squeal of excitement today when I saw the trailer for Untitled Goose Game multiplayer. Yes. Oh, my God, that's why it was trending. The the reveal where like the goose just like comes out from behind the other. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The thing that actually made me the happiest is like, I think they're behind the fire hydrant and they both like kind of like reveal themselves to the music. Yeah. Can you imagine if we were still at work and that was actually like when that happens? Losing their shit. I miss those like those moments. Nantana directs at the office are beautiful because it was just like everybody else. Are you you get slacks early in the day? Like, hey, we have a meeting at noon. Does it mean is every OK if we push it tomorrow? And everybody's like, OK. And like, you don't realize like why until later? And you have like like one manager producer like who just doesn't like care about Nintendo stuff just like looks in the conference room and just kind of like walks away. I still remember when Tonya Fetzer cried when they did the breath of the wild to trailer drop. Oh, yeah. Goodness. That was basically the level of her crying was the level of me crying when they finally released the Kingdom Hearts three trailer at like E3. Which is the same crying that Jordan did by himself when the second goose popped out. Yeah, I was. Yeah, he was really weird. I was Jordan. You didn't remember if you didn't know, but I we're still in like a meeting and your camera was on. I need to turn it off. And I saw the moment. I saw the moment. I heard the right. And then I saw tears. Just tears pouring down your face. And then it was weird. You stood up and went, Gamers, rise up. And like, I thought that was like an interesting thing to do because you weren't being oppressed as a gamer. But you still did it. And he just sat back down and that was it. Oh, my God. And that was the true story. Everyone has their has their gamer rise up moment. You know, yeah. What was yours, Aaron? What was your favorite gamer? How am I supposed to follow up with that? I mean, kind of related to a topic we mentioned a few weeks back. Kerry, you remember how you said you started waking up earlier in the day or you suggested it? Yeah. That's what I started doing. Today, I know today in particular, I woke up before my alarm. Whoa. And I was wide awake. So I woke up at 7 30, like ready to go. I was like, heck, yeah. Is this what it feels like to be a God? Basically, I need to like write this down in my diary. Today, Erin Marie-Wynn woke up early. I rose up in the game. Right. Do you still feel good? Ah, almost 12 hours later. I was still I was starting to crash a little bit, but now I feel it. Hearing about the Goose game. Yeah. My spirits. Yeah. Hearing about Jordan's Jordan's rise. I've I've got energy now. Like, I'm feeling good. Hell, yeah. Oh, that's most. Issa, Issa, what made you happy today? What smell the turkey? What are you thankful for? Smell the goose. Yeah, that goose is cooked. Have some yams. I'm coughing up. We just slide that over. Oh, no, it's covid covid. I learned. Well, I can't. Close your eyes. It helps you visualize. Yeah, in relation to the Nintendo Direct. The indie world that happened today. I learned that Spencer won the former director, animation director for Castlevania. And he was also, I think, the animation supervisor as well on Owl House. He had tweeted earlier that he accidentally made an animation studio. Oh, yeah. And he he was his team was responsible for the trailer for Hades, which is super giant game that creators for transistor and stuff. And I was really interested in Hades. And then I saw the the trailer and I was just like, oh, man, what a daddy. And then my son, I eventually going to get the game. But he wants to wait for like when it's more than version one to see when there if there's more stuff to drop and later on. So what kind of game is it? Because they're they did transistor or they did. She bastion bastion and then transistor. And then they did pie, pyro. Pire. Pire. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Pire. What kind of game is this new one? A rogue like dungeon crawler in which you defy the God of the dead as you hack and slash your way out of the underworld. Out of the underworld. I love defying some gods. That that's some that's some big energy for that's a genre of rising up. Yeah, I love. Yeah. It's time, you know, it's time. That's cool. That was it. Was it a cool trailer or it was either the trailer or the opening? It was the actually it's an animated trailer. OK, yeah. Yeah, I don't. But it looked cool. It was pretty awesome. I've watched it several times today. Yeah, it's just very tasty for the eyes. My eyes looked at it and there is Thanksgiving for the eyes. Yeah, Thanksgiving tastes like Thanksgiving goose. Speaking of a very thankful. I was speaking of eye taste buds, spirit fairer, also spirit fairer. Also came out today now as of recording this and their trailer they had animated by the Knights of the Light Table. And it looks very good. And I love everything I have not seen. I'm so excited with you, Kerry, because that was the one trailer out of the underworld today that my son and I were like, oh, oh, we're going to buy this today. Yeah, I'm I'm probably going to play that tonight or like tomorrow. Yeah, I'm very excited. It looks it almost looks like or I haven't seen a ton of it. So this might be super off, but like it almost reminds me of like older Disney movies. Oh, that's interesting. Like a little bit. I don't know. It looks really good. It really does. So for those of you guys who don't know what spirit fair is, on their official Twitter, they describe it. Oh, man, they describe it as a cozy management game about death. Lovely. I love it. Where you rise up in game. Against death. Against death. Yeah, it seems like it's going to play with a lot of like really interesting like emotional things and I'm very excited about it. And it just looks very pretty and the animation is like amazing on it. Yeah. Yeah. I love I feel like I feel like there's been a lot more unique games lately. Like I'm I'm still kind of burned by like the the like 360 ps3 era where everything was just like different shades of brown and gray. Oh, yeah. Yeah, everybody from gritty realism. Yeah, which really just meant like mud. Yeah. Yeah. It's actually I watched that Bumblebee movie, the Transformers movie. Oh, it's on HBO, isn't it? Is it on HBO? Maybe. I don't know where I watch it. There are so many streaming platforms, Patricia. You can bleep that if you don't want to be called. This is the name that Jordan calls me whenever he's. If you say it, if you say it ten times in a row, she just like pops up. Yes. But it was it was interesting to compare like the art direction of the Transformers in that movie to the Michael Bay movies because it basically is the same thing where basically shapes. Big shapes exist in Bumblebee. Colors exist. And when you compare them side by side, you can see like what a difference it is because the Michael Bay movies are just brown shaped like they're so metallic and dirty metal. And like super complex, like they're like needlessly complex, looking like they have a million pieces. Yeah, it looked like every car they transformed was like four cars worth of parts and metal. Yeah, where in this movie, they took kind of the action figures and how they actually transformed and function into account and like Optimus Prime, for instance, you know, he has the big bulky arms and like square chest and they actually like kept that in and it didn't look dumb. Like it didn't look like a toy. Like they they they walk this line of of that like realism and believability and like keeping it true to the original the original look. Yeah, I'm going to never I thought it was interesting. Good. It's a good movie, too. Oh, I was going to say how you thought about it. I was in my list scale of once a banana. Yeah, you haven't been on a while. So we need we need more Jordan's classic movie rating. If you haven't seen every episode that Jordan was on every episode, he would rate a movie and like really let us know like what he was thinking, give us like a really in depth idea. So Jordan, you know, take it away. Bumblebee. Hey, I give it thumbs up. Oh, oh, that's a solid thumb. Now, you do have two thumbs, Jordan, is that correct? I mean, I'm checking with broadcast, Jordan. Yeah, I am confirming you do have two thumbs and you're choosing one thumb. Yes, very, very specifically. Yes, OK, OK, OK, just I just wanted to put it down. OK. I mean, it's not a middle finger. It's not two thumbs, but it's not a middle finger. I was wondering if like on a scale of like two thumbs up being like the best two thumbs down would be the worst. But like, what's the middle and just no thumbs up? Yeah. Yeah, it's just doing the shrug pose. Shrug the monkey. Yeah, you can't see, but my my big toe has raised a little bit. Hey, I have a this is this is not related to anything that we're going to talk about, but I have like a weird quarantine question for you. I work from home question. Oh, do it. How often do you wear socks at home? Oh, and do you get really uncomfortable when people can see your feet when you walk away from your camera? If you're not wearing socks. I was in a storyboard meeting. I've been so the first like three months of quarantine, I I was wearing socks like every day still. And then like recently, like they all started getting like holes in them. And I was like, all right, I'm just going to stop wearing socks if I don't need to. And like I was in a storyboard meeting. I had to kind of like act something out. So like I went like way back there so I could act it out. I was like, oh, my feet are on camera. Oh, blur that out. I don't feel good right now. I was like, I feel in the butt and wiki feet. Yeah, I don't feel good. Yes. What's everybody's what's everybody's sock choice? No socks. No socks. Yeah, I thought I would be pro sock, but I don't know. I just just haven't felt the need to to sock it up. Just some free kicks. Yeah. Sometimes before I go to bed, if my feet are feeling a little cold, I'll put them on. And I usually interesting. Yeah, but yeah. Also, I just don't show my feet on camera like a weirdo carry. No, well, I mean, look, I've they're they're covered now and they'll remain that way. Show feet. No, Jordan. No, you have to subscribe to my only fans to see. That's right. You did mention you had it only fans last time. Well, yeah, it's pictures of your feet now. It's just pictures of my feet. People would probably be money for that. Yeah, one comment below. Yeah, I'm I'm very pro sock. You're pro. I'm actually the opposite of Aaron. I wear socks during the day. And then when I go to bed in the summer, especially, I take my socks off, but always wearing socks and walking around my house. I'm wearing slippers. Oh, yeah, I'm wearing slippers. Interesting. I don't want shit on my feet. Hmm. Why is there shit around your house? I just mean, like, little, like, you know, little particles. OK, now here. Hey, important question, Jordan. Carpet or bare floor, bare, bare wood? Tile. I got a mix. You know, I would be more comfortable walking barefoot on my carpet than you see. Yeah, I'm mostly in gross. Get that disgusting. Oh, I mean, I don't want carpet, but it's what I it's what you have. It's what I have and to not have carpet is a lot of money. That's true. See, my one my one requirement for a new apartment was all wood floors. And this is what this place has. Not that single carpet in sight. Well, that's true. You have two cats. I have two cats. Yeah. So, yeah. Also, my cat, one of my cats likes to attack. Speed that are wearing socks. I thought they put in socks. You know, so it's a dangerous game when I wear socks around. I mean, what are feet but sock hangers, you know? Sock hangers. Yeah, that's right. Dropping more wisdom. Issa, what? Tell us about your feet. I was slippers. The slippers that we have in the house, though, they're really fuzzy. So unfortunately, it's very warm. So I've actually been really barefoot. Yeah, it's it's we have hardwood floors in this house learning, OK? So pretty OK. But sometimes I'll feel a crumb and I'll go, maybe I should wear slippers. Yeah, that's what I don't want. And if that happens, if that happens to me, I don't go, well, maybe I shouldn't. I go, ah. That's why you don't wear slippers. Well, Jordan, I don't, you know, I know you don't like to talk about it, but you do have that condition where you do have taste buds on the bottom of your feet. So it does become worse when you're like, ah, pizza. But it sounds like a it sounds like a mutant. I was going to say, that sounds like a my hero academia quirk. It's like the worst kind of quirk. Yeah. Wait, isn't that an X-Men character? He just has hands for his feet. Probably. I mean, that you could get some use out of. It's like the guy in a Dr. Horrible sing-along blog that just sweats. Oh, no. Sorry. Yeah. So that was my that was my feet question of the week. Tune in next week to find out. I've actually gone and bought more socks. Really? Just recently. Yeah, because I'm not I'm not wearing my nice socks. I'm wearing like your home. So I'm like, yes, I'm just like throw away socks like no show socks. But I was sick of washing them like every two weeks when I would run out. So I was like, just buy more socks. Yeah, I'm about to. You can't really donate socks, right? Can you? I mean, no one will stop you, though. Yeah, I don't want to I don't want to cause more problems for people, though. They probably just throw them out. Yeah, maybe I'll just donate some new socks and then also buy myself some new socks. But I'm about to like throw out all of my socks and just buy new socks. Y'all should have gone to sock shopping together at a safe distance. Yes, I just went on target dot com and made an order. I mean, that was the extent of my shopping. I mean, you guys just was like, oh, no window shopping. That's fine. There was I didn't want to have a sock date with Jordan. There was a time and I don't want to make this the sock cast. Too late. Welcome to I have socks. The podcast where we talk about. There is a time where Bernie. Reached he reached a milestone where he wanted to wear a new pair of socks every day. But you wanted to be rich enough to like wear new pair of socks. Well, specifically, he never wanted to re wear a pair of socks. Yeah. Uh huh. And apparently there's something nice about like a new pair of socks like going on your feet. Well, let's not say apparently we all know that that is true. I guess I haven't worn new socks in such a long time. Well, I'll let you know. I'll let you know what happened. Yeah, you're going to have a couple of weeks of bliss. Recording reaction. Yeah, he went he went he went through that. I think for like a month or something and then gave up on it. But yeah, just just imagine being like that being your life like new socks every day. It's it's funny. You say that because like for a while after I saw him do that, I was like, that's my goal of what would make it. Oh, no, Carrie. And I was like, I was like, maybe I'll do that one day. And I have not. Just to be clear, I haven't made it. But that reminds me of a similar question. Do what? I have a similar question. Oh, yeah. OK. OK. Would you all buy new clothes? Do you wash them before wearing them or do you just wear them fresh out of the store? I wash them before I wear them because I'm not a little stinky boy. OK, good. So I said this to somebody and they were like, oh, yeah, I just wear them whenever and I don't wash them. Like, no, what's wrong with you? They smell like department store. You don't you don't know who's been touching it. What about Jordan? Is there suspiciously quiet right now? Carrie and Aaron throws ESA and Jordan. I'm guilty of wearing them. So I never think about washing them. You know, don't they smell bad, though? I also never thought of it. Yeah, I mean, like, I think I thought of it when I was when I first started living with my roommates in college and my best friend, Ellen, it's her birthday today, by the way, happy birthday. My best friend, Ellen, she mentioned, oh, yeah, you should wash these first. And I thought about it. I go, oh, I guess that's a smart thing to do. Yeah. But I'm not going to do I'm lazy as hell. I I it never feels dirty to me. I don't know. Well, here's what here's what I think. But two things, one, I think am I gross? Yes. Well, I wasn't going to say it. I was going to say it. Yes. A little tiny boy. What's your what's your things? Well, OK, it's sometimes like if you buy if you buy shirts like online, I definitely noticed like some of them smell like like sulfur or like they smell like plastic. Yeah, they smell like there's something about like the dye process or something like I bought a shirt the other day that was like came in stinky and I was like, I'm not wearing that. Yeah. Issa, here's Issa. I went here's what you imagine, OK? You're in. I'm closing my eyes. And I for a second, I smell Thanksgiving turkey, but no, I'm in target. OK. And you try on a shirt and you think, OK, this is nice. I'm going to buy it. What I want you to remember is that Stinky Linda wore that shirt two days ago and she was sweaty, right? And she got like her pits in it. And she was like, no, I'm not going to wear it and then took it off. And they just put it back on the shelf. So now you've got Stinky Linda's sweat all over you. Oh, no. How does that feel, Issa? Look, if it smells, I'm going to wash it. But it must instances that I think Jordan and I are thinking about. Yeah, they're not they're not egregious. No, I mean, it's not or they feel new, you know. Yeah, you just like you said you touch it and you sense in your like no soul has been bound to this yet. Have you ever have you ever read that comic by I think it's IDW? It's called Chew and it's about a it's about a detective who works for the. I want to say it's the Food and Drug Administration, but he has he has an ability to taste something and like experience and see through a vision like everything it's gone through. So like if it's chicken, he knows how the chicken lived and how it was killed and how it was delivered. But he ends up like having to work murder cases and no and solving murders by, you know, eating. But oh, I have that where I can touch a piece of clothing and know if somebody. Yeah, because you taste it with your foot, your foot. You know, just going around the store on my feet on everything. Yeah. And and to everyone else. The reason why you should wash things. I mean, look, if you're like, yeah, if it looks clean or like if you're like a pinch, like I don't think it's the end of the world. But I'm definitely like, yeah, my my like mom like definitely was like, you know, like drilled into me like it's dirty. Wash it. I just I feel like I've never bought a piece of clothing that like smelled like nothing or like smelled clean when I bought it. Like, it always smells like like manufacturing or like plastic. Or I was going to say, maybe we need to turn this around. Maybe we need to turn this around. Aaron, where are you buying clothes from, huh? Well, where? Unfortunately, a lot of my shirts are from our store. We do have a plastic store. I got all her clothes were 3D printed. I wish I was the air. What you're what you're experiencing is that a lot of our shirts, they do ask me to roll around in like on the warehouse before they send it out. So I just kind of like I do like a roll pass and I get, you know, I kind of get my synth on them. All right. I feel like we've spent too much time on the socks. We haven't even talked about it. I want the audience to answer. Leave us comments. Yeah, I want to bring something up real quick that we can either gloss over or not. But I saw a thumbnail pop up in my recommendations the other day that I thought I could bring up with you guys. So it's this video called I haven't watched it, but it's called Disney Second Dark Age 2000 to 2008. All 11 movies ranked and the 11 movies in this in this quote unquote second dark age of Disney is Fantasia 2000. Excuse me. Dinosaur, Atlantis. What? It is that is the time period. Yeah, this is it's not necessarily a comment on on each movie, but like as a whole, it's just that you're a OK, OK, OK, I see. Emperor's New Groove, Lilo and Stitch. Oh, it's so tiny. I can't read it. Brother Bear, Home on the Range, Chicken Little, Meet the Robinsons, Bolt and one other one. I think it's the planet Earth one. It's too small. Yeah, I mean, the further you get to those, have you even watched? Yeah, half of them. I pipe it and I have no topic sheet. So if you guys did, Chicken Little really come out between two thousand two thousand eight. Yeah, yeah. Chicken Little is a summit in Kingdom Hearts. Is he really? Yes. What the fuck? I was thinking of a different movie. Never mind the Treasure Planet is the one I couldn't treasure. That's a banger. Yeah, really good. I say all. Yeah, I've seen three of those movies. I've seen four of those movies. I've seen. I've seen six, so that's a good half. I've seen seven of them. Holy crap. Oh, Aaron, I've seen a lot of Disney movies. Well, see, that's why I feel like I couldn't really rank them. I mean, I'm a Disney kid, too. I grew up on like Main Street, USA in Disneyland. I was born at the fire department. You're in the background of three even Stevens episodes. It's like that show, The Sweet Life, but it's just it's the park life. So the three I've seen are Emperors, New Groove, Lilo and Stitch and Atlantis. And Atlantis was fairly recent. So like, even if you haven't seen Treasure Planet, I did not see Treasure Planet. I I've seen the original Fantasia. If Fantasia 2000 is just a remake, I never saw. No, it's it's a sequel. It's definitely not as good as Fantasia. Yeah, it's my humble opinion. Is it all right? Like shorts, huh? Is it a sequel or a sequel? Squeak wool. That's very important. Erin, which three haven't you seen? Home on the range, chicken little and meet the Robinsons. OK, I how would you how would you rank the ones you've seen, though, since you've seen the most? I can't point my hand. There you go. There we go. Oh, we see. Dinosaur last. Bad, bad take, then Fantasia 2000. Interesting. Brother Bear, Treasure Planet, Atlantis, Emperor's New Groove. From course, the best in mind. There you go. Oh, what about Lilo and Lilo? Lilo and Stitch. OK, that one's above. That's that's the best one. OK. Interesting. Yeah. I think all those are like really good for the most part. I don't know. I will say, too, like as a person who like grew up liking Disney and have seen four of these movies. I. I don't even know what Home on the Range Brother Bear or Meet the Robinsons looks like is about what characters they consist of. I can, you know, there's a little bit I can do with Brother Bear. I'm just like so disconnected from that, I guess. Yeah, this is. I think it's like it's a dark age. Not only in profits, but in like awareness. Yeah, but he knows about them. That's so weird. And also the best dinosaur animated movie is We're Back Dinosaur. A dinosaur. Correct. Fucking love it for me. Sorry. So that's why that one wins. I have watched actually a chunk of the like burgeoning Disney 3D movies when they were first starting 3D. Like the chicken litter. Yeah, chicken litter. Meet the Robinsons bolt. Like I actually watched those with my siblings, but we had rented them back when Netflix did DVD rentals. So the Stone Age. I remember those those days. Glad you remember Jordan. Is Meet the Robinsons just. The what's that Pixar movie? Shit. Yeah, just think creditables. It is not. But we really enjoyed that. That one. Meet the Robinsons. Isn't that one more akin to Mars Needs Moms or Monsers versus Aliens? Maybe it was it's it's a it's a weird sci-fi kind of not. I wouldn't say adventure, but like a sci-fi where this kid time travels in the future and he's an orphan. So he's always kind of his whole storyline is kind of centered around like how does he get adopted? I guess like he's he's like he thinks he's like too smart. So he's like too awkward or like he knows he's smarter than a lot of the other kids at the orphanage. There's this problem right there. Have some humility. Get wrecked, kid. He wants to be adopted, but he doesn't know how to appeal to the parents because he's just this really brainy kid and parent. A lot of the parents like like these like. What a genius kid. Sporty kids and things like that. And Jimmy Neutron. Jimmy Neutron. He wasn't adopted care. I mean, his parents weren't exactly thinkers. You don't know. So, I mean, the Robinson's, I think, was actually really charming movie. They a lot of these movies, I think, really honed it on like the idea of what they think is humorous for kids rather than like necessarily doing a good story in a lot of cases, but it's like I think a good mix of like what they as artists wanted to do, i.e. Atlantis versus what I think maybe a lot of producers thought that would sell to audiences, i.e. Bolt. You got to have a balance. You do. Yeah. Now, Issa, I want to kind of tangent for a second. When did you, you know, you just described Meet the Robinson's, right? When did you see that movie? I was in, I was a freshman in high school, I'm pretty sure it was like that in between age between like early teen and like very standard teen. Okay. I follow up question. You described that movie in more detail than I could describe to you any movie or TV show that I've seen this year is something wrong with me. Like I'm being serious. Kerry, do you watch stuff to turn your brain off and like have something entertain you or do you watch stuff to analyze the art and merit of it? I mean, it depends on what it is, but usually both. Like, I think that's why I shy away from movie sometimes because like I can't turn, like that might go to like watch to turn off or like more like let's plays or like personality driven things. But like, I, yeah, like I'm gonna, I watched like 25 episodes of Hunter, Hunter. And I can tell you what like six of them were about. Nice. Maybe. That's just, you're just like gobbling it up. I would, it was like Thanksgiving dinner, man. I'm telling you. I was just like, oh, Kerry, I don't think anything is wrong with you to answer your question. Okay. Because. I think you're lying, but okay. Yeah. Not everyone's, not everyone's able to like retell a story or from a movie that they've seen 12 years ago. Also 2020, just be like that. Yeah, maybe. To be fair as well, Kerry, we had that DVD rental for like a week. So we definitely watched it. That was, that was the thing you could, you could hold on to it as long as you wanted. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes I would write popular things and hold them out of spite. I'm just going to do that. It's so sad we can't do that anymore. Are you really though, right? No. Okay. I was going to say that. No. Is it, is it completely gone? Like can you not rent. No, you can't do it anymore. Really? Yeah. Wow. I don't think so. Is Redbox, Redbox is still a thing. Redbox is still a thing actually. It is. Yeah. Thing just continued. It's no longer a thing. Well, no, you can still go to like a grocery or a pharmacy and like spend a dollar. I'd say in front of the AGB. Yeah. Yeah. They should bring blockbuster back. Should they? I kind of want to go to that one that's in like Alaska or whatever it is. Oh, you want the last one? Yeah. There's one, there's one in Oregon as well that is being converted to an Airbnb really for like a limited time. Yeah. A limited time. Yeah. So you stay in the entire blockbuster and they set up like a little living room set. So like you peruse the aisles and stuff and watch whatever you want. Oh, so it's an experience now. I'm on the Redbox website. You can rent on demand. You show your kids like this is how it used to be. Whoa. Trot them down the aisles. And they're like, I just want to watch, I want to watch Meet the Robinsons now. No, we have to go to blockbuster and pay $5. What do you mean they don't have a copy? Yeah. I did not. So tangenting. I did not understand the full value of blockbuster until my brother reminded me when I was like nine or 10 years old that we could rent video games from there. Oh, yeah. That was. That was a gold mine. You could rent consoles. Oh, God. We rented a Nintendo 64 before we got it. And I remember throwing a fit because my dad didn't want to go back to blockbuster and rent it again for me. I ended up getting it for Christmas, which is why I think he wasn't. But hey, just for I wanted to play Mario and I wanted to play it now now. If you can remember, were you trying to re-rent it in like June or like December 20? If you're like, dad, let's go. I don't remember what time of year it was. I remember this thing brought me so like vast amounts of joy and then it was gone and I needed it back. I have needed it. I have a really embarrassing. I have a really embarrassing thing to admit to y'all. And I just, you know, I hope that this can be a safe place. I was more of a holiday. My family was a Hollywood video. Oh, yeah. Blockbuster family. Yeah. Boo. It's a. I remember going to Hollywood video and being like, yeah. It's something I deal with every day. And I appreciate the support you didn't give me. We just need you to know that you were wrong. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't have a choice. I wasn't driving. I was going to say it's like Terry's problem is systemic. It is not necessarily his fault. It's generational. Generational. The only reason we ever went to Blockbuster was when they had that Pokemon snap machine where you could like print out your photos. That thing was cool. That's so cool. You know how and maybe maybe this is just me, but when you're a kid and you go to a place a lot and like you're driven there by your by your parents and you're right in the backseat or whatever, but you can kind of like, you know, the turns that are coming up and you know, kind of how to get there. Yeah, or you recognize like, OK, we're going to pass like the Best Buy. Yeah. And then once we're there, we're going to go this way. And then we just cross this light and we're there. There are like three places in my memory that like I like like can remember being able to do that with. It was it was the McDonald's. Right. Yeah. It was the McDonald's. Yeah, the one that we would always go to my grandma's house. Nice. And Blockbuster. Like if I were a kid and you asked me to give you turn by turn directions from my house to any one of those places, I could give them to you by heart. Like pre map quest, pre Google Maps. Yeah. Pre Tom Tom, even. Oh, man, I thought about Tom Tom in a very long time. But yeah, those are just places that I was excited to go to that we went to a lot that like were ingrained in my brain of like how to get there. Some days you did the like the full sweep. You hit them all up. Oh, man. You hit a blockbuster and get some game. I don't know if I ever pulled off the hat trick. No. You didn't you didn't play a rented Mario and eat some chicken nuggies at your grandparents. No, the dream. No, because my grandma lived kind of far away. So OK. Yeah, very rarely that she had her own McDonald's. I was going to say, yeah. Oh, wow. We're franchisors. Franchise. He said, oh, yeah, like turn at the best by my first thought, I was like, Carrie, how'd you know where I live? Issa, I've always known. That's how I get to places normally. I feel weird now. Oh, but like doing landmarks, right? Yeah. I don't do street names. You don't know street names. What the fuck are those? Well, I told you like it's on the corner of 12th and Guadalupe. I don't know what the fuck is. Well, I like I think especially when you're a kid and you're not driving, like that's all you. Correct. Yeah, that's true. Correct. That's how I still interpret it. Now I'm a grown up and I know streets. I just want to make that clear. I'm not Aaron. I mean, if we're just being honest, the second I had a car that had GPS in it, I stopped trying to remember how to get anywhere on my own. And I just like, no matter what I'm doing, I just put it in and turn my head off. These are skills you need. My wife has the same problem these days, you guys. So I actually read there is a study that said that more women are more prone to knowing directions via landmarks as opposed to remembering streets. So, Aaron, you and I are a statistic. Right on course. We're just great. We're going to hammer in those stereotypes. Yeah, yeah. Speaking of stereotypes, did y'all see that E3 article? Oh, unfortunately. Oh, God, OK. How, which I was high-scored, but jeweled. You know, that game that y'all have to play. Fun. Solitaire on one. I think so, yeah. Issa, you were playing Solitaire like two weeks ago or something? No, it was Minesweeper. And also, yes, I do have. I do have a guilty pleasure for module Solitaire. Yes, I just like matching the titles, guys. It's so satisfying. It's time. Gamer girls rise up. They have, they've since removed that article. You can't find it anymore. That's a yikes. That was a, I just like. That was a big oof. I just, I feel like the second you need to attach a gender or a qualifier of any kind to the category, I'm just kind of like my brain turns off. So like the second it's like, oh, look at that girl gamer. I'm like, just a gamer. It's just there's the person had bejeweled on there. I think so, yeah. I think I was reading a quote from somebody else covering it. And I'm pretty sure for the bejeweled entry, they said diamonds are girls best friends. Am I right, ladies? Like that that was like the level that this this article did. They get like an onion or click hole article by mistake and post it. I think so, because that's what it sounds like. I think it was meant for there. And they're just like, what? Why is this on the onion? This is this is true. Publish it. Yeah. All those girls play or are matching games and cooking mama. Yeah. Hey, it's not called cooking papa. Yeah, I guess you're right. It could be, though. And I would play that I go to town. Oh, yeah, I mean, it actually does sound kind of like a fun like counterpart to the series. But it also just could be grilling anybody. Well, don't grill people. But you know what I mean? It's just the game is like, make some food. That's all in the title, brother. Trademark it trademark. That I don't want to say what it is because I want somebody else to bring it up. But there is something in our notes that just has at the end of it in parentheses. Issa cackles. Ah, yes. All right. Whose topic is that? Oh, I mean, well, I mean, I wrote it down. You wrote it out. Yes. Issa wrote Issa cackle. Well, Jordan, what do you want to talk about it? So then we get you. Issa cackle. So so this is a couple of weeks old, but I thought it was a big win for independent animation. The viral sensation YouTube video for the pilot of has been hotel. The the series got picked up by a 24. And they're the ones that make the scary movies, right? They're an indie house. I think a 24 did that new Aquafina movie as well. Or the recent Aquafina movie. The. Farewell. Yes. Yeah. OK. Pretty sure. Good movie. Two thumbs up for that movie. Oh, Jordan. Oh, wow. Those are Jordan just went in with all of his thumbs. All both of them. Yeah. All thumbs up. Jordan swears. Issa, why did you add Issa cackles at the end of it? There is a when has been hotel first dropped the full animated pilot. It was a point of conversation in and our workplace. It was like it was like a Nintendo Direct was happening. Yeah. Only you had a good chunk of people who were going, I'm not watching this Nintendo Direct. I have no interest in the more we get into this topic, the more I'm realizing that I maybe should not have said Issa cackles out loud. It is like I have Issa. Issa can have notes. I have. Yeah. And in general, I have notes about it, too. It's true. And I haven't seen it. I just remember seeing the thumbnail and being like, oh, this is interesting. That's that right there is already interesting to me. Really? Because I have I have notes on like how it's drawn. Yeah, that's fair. I it definitely was I. So here's how my mind is thinking of the timeline. And this is not to say that this is accurate. I'm sure people who are fans of husband and of the creator know better what actually happened. But around the time that the creator Vizipop really started like molding this together into a real thing. It was a while ago. It took her like seven years to do it. It took her a while. Yeah, because I remember there was a contractor we ended up hiring who was actually working on it. Oh, that's funny. And I remember seeing the the the boards or like the animatics that he had worked on for it. And I was thinking like, oh, wow, this is actually a really interesting concept. Or at least in terms of like it seemed like really appealing. It seemed like more kind of utilizing that big eye Disney style for creatures. But obviously using it in a way that's like super mature or from which very mature audiences. It's all about like sex, drugs, like it's hell. You know, it's a horny show. Nice. It's a horny show. It's a horny show. The I think the thing that I was sad about is that I was not interested in it because it seemed it took too long for me to be fully invested in it, essentially. And to me, it's kind of just like a matter of timing, right? Like if has been hotel had come out a year after I'd learned about it. Oh, yeah, you know, I would. Yeah, I would think I would have a I would pay a lot more attention to it. The thing is like on a personal level, it's a personal level. But I can't deny that it has success, even if it's not necessarily in my bubble. Yeah, I don't think it's it's especially just basing it off the pilot. I think it has potential given given a more experienced group. Being involved, but I think, you know, it has it has a good concept. And even though the, you know, the execution and the final product of the pilot wasn't like what I would like, you know, or like go for. I think it's a cool it's a cool win for for YouTube and, you know, other independent animators. Yeah, yeah, I mean, eight twenty four is like really well known. Like have they done other animated stuff? I think this might be their first venture, honestly, which I thought was a really interesting move. Yeah, out of all the if if it's if it's like pandemic driven, you know, true, because not a lot of live action stuff. Yeah, the there is like a huge I think they're kind of calling it's like the adult animation boom lately. And it's because of the pandemic that like a lot more animation shows are being picked up and and it's because and sexy. And it's because people are watching them now. So fun fact, animation can be for everyone. If we just take away all of us here. Yeah, seriously, if we just take away all of the other options, they'll have no choice. Yeah, exactly. I mean, I was speaking of, I guess, like animation that, you know, I definitely think like can skew not skew more towards adults, but I can't include adults like the whole thing with the last airbender. Oh, yeah. So they have, you know, the Netflix series has been like in production or like at least in development. And the two creators have just backed out of it, basically saying that it's not. It's not there. They they do not creatively agree. Yeah, to quote George Lucas in my original vision. There it is. There it is. Yeah, the supposedly people on Twitter were saying it was because they wanted to like age it up a lot. But I've heard I heard they want to age it up so that the characters could could could on Jordan. Jordan, that's what I heard. The term is bone down. Sorry. Yeah, bone dad, rise up. Hey, we finally figured out and then bone down. We finally figured out was a put on the I have no shirt. Oh, no. We finally. Down, I know it's on the front. Rise up on the back. Yeah, I definitely I heard a bunch of stuff and then I also heard that that like website may have faked it. So like I have no idea. But it just it definitely sounds like they were not happy with the direction was going so they backed out. So. I don't know. But I wonder like how many people who are casual viewers, you know, is it just us who follows like the creators news and like in the entertainment news, you know, and like I feel like the reaction to it if it had not been for the fact that I feel like Airbender just had like a resurgence because it was on Netflix. Yes. And then kind of like what you're saying before, it's like people people are a little hungry for info and new things. I mean, I will say this, I will say this. I because I was a little late to Airbender, not like, you know, this year late. But I think I watched it in like Jordan. I'm so late. You haven't seen it yet. I'm not even this year late. It's really good. I think I watched it in like I want to say like 2011, 2010, 2011, 2012, somewhere in there and. You know, didn't know anything about it, besides it's good. And I watched it and I was like, OK, that was really good. Like I love this. And then I went, I want more. And I just remember searching for it on Netflix and I saw the live action movie. Oh, here's the thing. I had never heard anything about it. I did not know that it was going to be a garbage fire. Genuinely on my own, as just a person who liked Airbender, I then started the movie, got 20 minutes in, said, what the fuck is this? And turned it off, Googled it and then saw all of the things of like this movie is terrible. So it does. I'm honestly impressed. You like got like, yeah. Just like didn't know anything about the discourse around it. I didn't even watch the original show and I knew it was garbage. Yeah, I don't know. Like I think I'd always kind of like I'll do this with a couple of shows. Like like Gravity Falls is on my list of like I just haven't gone to it yet. And same for got you there. Yeah. Oh, dang it. What's the other really big? It just ended recently. Adventure time. Adventure. Steven Universe. Like those two have always been on my list. So basically, I just avoid anything about them like the plague. Interesting. So I think I just like I'd always avoided airbender stuff. Yeah. It's a lot of work, Carrie. Yeah, it is. Really, all that is to say, it's like, I do think it matters because when you when you're comparing it to that really good source material, it shows when it's not good because you know it can be good. So if it's not good, it's not good. Like, I don't know. Yeah, I think my question is mostly just like, does it get does it lose viewers automatically because of the creators leaving? And yeah, I don't like the the the loyal viewers being like, you know, oh, you know, we don't want to we don't want another little last airbender. I can see like the diehard fans probably losing interest. I can see people who are on the fringe, you know, who are who probably don't even know that this happened or are still going to watch it. But, you know, at the end of the day, if it is good or if it's bad, I think, yeah, the audience will definitely decide. I and I think like, you know, like take like the Death Note movie, like a lot of people did watch it, even though, like, you know, I've heard like mixed things about it. I heard some people thought it was OK. But like I do what I do think, though, is that it's kind of, you know, there is definitely this. I feel like this has been true forever. It's just that, like, it's more prevalent now or more noticeable now is I feel like negative discourse is stronger than positive discourse. So or louder or louder. Yes. Or yeah, it has. I feel like it has more influence and is a little louder. So yeah, even though, like the average person just based on that, like one news article is probably going to still watch it. If then the week that it comes out, there's a bunch of like any YouTubers that are posting why it's terrible because like they hate it for that reason. Yeah, I think it's going to color people. And then, you know, you've only got so much time. I mean, some people do it more time right now. So maybe it's like whatever. But like I'm I know that I'm this way and I know I'm not alone of like, I'm pretty I'm pretty picky about what I watch. Right. You know, like I kind of need to know it's good or at least worth watching before I watch it. So I don't know. I I I don't think it's a positive. Yeah, that I can agree with that, at least. Yeah. Yeah. And it's interesting when you bring up the the idea that negative discourse like kind of carries more weight, even if it's a minority. It reminds me of like how you can read comments and 90 percent of them will be positive about something. But then you see one negative comment and you're just like, oh. No, 100 percent. You're just consumed. Yeah. Yeah. I feel that I've definitely got myself like scrolling through the comments and going pretty quickly over the positive ones and then like stopping on the negative ones. Yeah. Yeah. It's actually kind of out because recent just on a personal one recently, I had come across a reaction video to Recorder by Arsall. And I think it was like these pockets of people who I did not know existed because they don't really show up on the actual like content to comment. But they go in their own little section here to talk about it. And interesting. And it's mostly all negative stuff. Yeah. So it was it was kind of fascinating to me because I was just like, oh, I was kind of under the impression that a lot of people liked it. And then I'm like, oh, there's a subsection here that doesn't. Oh, thank God. Like I think it was one of those things or if there was more positive feedback, I'd feel so much pressured. But then there are people who are like saying negative stuff. And I'm like, OK, cool. I guess there's maybe there's something that I can like not not pick up from. But at least I'm kind of like, OK, well, so someone doesn't approve of this. And yeah, you've already you have like safety and knowing you've already disappointed a bunch of people. So yeah. So I can just keep disappointed. Yeah, I can just go. Yeah, it just goes up from there. A weirdly positive way to look at that. Yeah, that's a good way to that's a good way to mentally like process stuff. That's what she got to do. But I mean, we've also talked about like knowing the difference between criticism and critique and like just like baseless like this shit because it's yeah, look at look at this dumb face. Garbage, you know. So yeah. And and those people, I think the reason they they go to their little sub sex to talk about it is that everyone who watches or reads their opinion or something is going to agree with them. And and they they weirdly have the the pressure that you don't. Now, you said we're like, it's always on them to have everyone agree, you know, everyone who watches them agree with what they say. Yeah, that makes sense. And if if they don't, yeah, it's going to find a new way to shit on this. Yeah, it's this weird is this weird loop kind of thing. I guess it's the danger of echo chambers. But it's not good either way. Yeah, good on you like finding, you know, branching out and finding like the other, you know, critiques and and the other discourse happening, you know, because it's very easy for people who would just be like, oh, this nice little like garden I have here is saying only the nice things about me, I'm going to tend this garden instead of like seeing like what everyone else in the yard is saying. The milkshakes and the yard to be fair, I will be frank. I think the that subsection of people there really were kind of just there to just hate on something. Yeah, and it was a lot of that's a lot of YouTube. True. It was a lot of kind of like figuring out that context. So and you really kind of had to wade through that just to like come up with your own assumption or with your own judgment, I think, after, which is the hard part, you know, you kind of have to go through all this stuff and you kind of like I don't think they understand it and you realize, oh, they don't understand. OK, yeah. And maybe they don't want to understand. Understanding was never part of it, Issa. I will. So I will a lot of times and I want to be clear about two things. One, every since out of their opinion and the things that they like and don't like to there is, you know, outside of like anything that like hurts or is offensive or anything like that. Like you can like whatever you know, everything is OK. Right. I I will sometimes if somebody says something like particularly like, oh, that's mean or like, where is this coming from? I will go when I will try and do is find out what do they like. And I call it eight times out of ten. I'll like the second I click on their profile, it's just retweeted like super lewd art. Of like a big boobied anime girl. And I'm like, OK. And again, there's nothing wrong with that. Trust me. Trust me. But when that's all they're like retweets are, I'm like, OK. OK, so what you're saying next season, big boobies everywhere. We're going to. We're going to get the director. I promise. Yeah. You'll get your big boobies. Yes. And he twit. Hinty retweeter. Neptune is coming back and he's going to have some big bazongas. Big badoinks. Yeah. How many other knockers? What else? I do want to say, I think that is our time. You don't want to come with more names for boobs. We can we can continue doing it. OK, I'll do it in the back. Keep going. OK, so one thing. I'll do it in the comments. So one thing we have is we have an RTX panel. Yeah. September 24th, 430 central time. That is live, right, guys? It is. It looks like it's going to be live. Yes. First only, but it also includes all four of us, including Eddie and Cole, the goodest boys. So be there or be square. We'll keep shilling it. We'll definitely answer. I think I want to at least answer some questions or we can just shoot the shit. We can just hang out. There's some cool live community components that we'll have access to. So I mean, one of the things I'll be bringing will come up with some ideas. I have this list of one hundred one words for boobs that I just found by Googling a little bit. Just as a preview, obviously, melons and baps. But apparently Yorkshire puddings. I've heard that one before. I've never heard that one before. I've never heard it. And it's in British. Oh, that makes sense. But isn't that your culture, Kerry? Yeah, yeah, those are my people. Those are your people. I should know what a pair of Yorkshire puddings looks like. It doesn't doesn't feel good to say. That's but you're not saying it right. It's Yorkshire puddings. Yorkshire. Yeah, there's something about like that hoity, toity accent talking like in a very weird way about another person's body that doesn't mix like at all. Anyway, so I won't do that in the panel, I promise. The other thing on the notes, which I'm pretty sure Jordan put in here because he's a good he's a good creative director for Maggie, Maggie put it in there. Because she told me to. But I think she's a good supervisor producer for direct. My recorded by aerosol vlogs are on YouTube. So a little behind the scenes stuff for the series. Three very good. Oh, Jordan, you like them. My favorite blogger. Yeah, I'm glad you guys like them. Oh, wow. I edited and wrote them myself. I'm actually very proud. Be good. Yeah. Thank you. Watch the Ruby Grim Pit campaign every Saturday now. It's really fun. We have a lot of fun and we do really bad things coming together, too. Yeah, that things. I'm so excited. Smoking hot people. People like the first episode. I get that reference, Jordan. What's what's a good what's a good term for boobs that we can apply to it, Gary? Oh, you got a list, don't you? Control. I closed it. I closed it and purged it for my history. I glassed it from the earth. D&D got a couple, a couple of jugs of mead. I emailed Bill Gates and told him to take this off the internet. A BCC'd Elon Musk, just in case. And where do they got a reply back from Mark Zuckerberg? Yeah, no, actually. Oh, no, no, no, no, it's he puts Mark Zuckerberg. It's really Tom from MySpace. He just wants another friend. He has so many. Dude, who is in your top eight? Well, Tom. Bye, everybody. Have a good. I hope you're in my top eight. Thanks for watching.
