I Have Notes is a show where a bunch of us with a surprisingly long list of IMDB credits come together to talk all things animation, being creative, and Caden's accomplishments. No, no. I am joined by my lovely, we don't know who it is yet. I'm joined by my lovely co-host, Keri Chakras. Hello, it is I, the lovely co-host. You know, at some point, you would think the IMDB page would be less surprising, but it's not. Every time, it seems to be more and more surprising. We are joined by two very lovely, well, one lovely guest and also Jordan Swears. Annyeong. I just want to leave a long, like, we'll put some applause and post. Don't worry, we have a budget. On why? You know, just because it's going to be good. And where it's tis the season. And also, the special guest, Caden Jensen. Your last name always trips me up. More than your first name. Really? Well, I want to say Jensen. Yeah, don't do that. And I won't because it's not your name. It's his name. It is. Just need to remember, she's Jensen. Jensen. Just like Jordan, not Jordan. Wow. No, it could be Jordan, though. I just. I don't want to talk about it. I just realized why your show could also be called Jensen as well. Yeah, that's. Issa just got it. I got it. Issa, really? I got it. Now, this is brought up, and I'm going to be honest, we may have already talked about this because my memory is that of a goldfish. And I'm sure we had other things to talk about, but I don't care. What's after Gen Z? Oh, yeah. It loops back around. Yeah, it goes to Gen AA because we already went through the alphabet code. Because we're A1, A2, A3. Yeah, it's like a spreadsheet. I kind of like Gen Zen. Oh, Gen Zen. That'd be a very chill Gen. I mean, Gen Z. You don't want this last name. You don't want it. They're pretty hyped up. You don't want the last name. I don't know that any of our last names are particularly easy. I think yours is probably easiest to carry. Yours definitely is. You would think. And I'm not saying that I'm not trying to compare our stripes here. I will just say that. Yes, go on. Tell me about how it's difficult. I will just say that a surprising number of people have messed up Shot Cross in my life. You would think that it would be. I'm sure that mine is still the easiest to do. Yes. Jordan kind of just looks like somebody accidentally scrabble a little bit. Which is why that banner that is in stage five is so funny to me. Their first name. How do you fuck up my first name? Like, they got my last name right. It was so funny. Jordan. Yeah, how's working in that little office? You know, I don't know. I haven't been there any years. Everybody knows about that, right, Shirley? The big giant. Oh, yeah, it's a. I'm happy to tell the story. Go ahead. I'm sure people will know. I'm just going to get inundated with Jordan's now. We went to a convention. Jordan had a giant banner of his name. She don't have to put me up here. But it said Jordan instead of Jordan. And we may or may not have stolen the banner and brought it back to the office. So like we all had our own banners. And yeah, everyone else's names was spelled correctly. Yeah. And then Miles and Kerry took it upon themselves to take it. It's hanging above my office. Yeah, what's funny is at the time that was the 2D office and it was funny to put it there. And then we moved out. And they didn't state that with them. It just stayed there. I like to imagine there are people who don't get it or know the joke that people don't know every day. Who is this person? Who's trying to know who you are? The best part too is like that. Look at his IMDB page. IMDB. No, it won't work. All of those offices had, or like a lot of them, they're just set flats and like they had like a window. So Jordan was sitting in front of a window. Right, that used to be where I would sit. Was a giant poster of himself. But now nobody is there. No, no, it's an empty, sad room. No computers are there. We need to go take it. Once we get back to the office and take it. How about this? Socially distanced heist. We all go stay six feet apart. Secret heist. And we steal the poster from our own office. How's that going to work though? Like John Mace is going to know that when we go in there. John Mace won't catch us. Come on. We're pretty squirt. He won't catch all of us. He will. That's why it's a team heist. It is a team heist. We need it. We need to go behind. Sorry. What? No. Jordan, I am also then going to go hang it at your house. I'm going to hang it on the outside of your house. That's fine because then you'll leave and I'll just go out and take it. OK. That's it. Hey, how is everyone doing? I guess quick note, just in case anything then seems weird later, we are pre-recording this because we are all taking a holiday break. So we are pre-recording this couple of weeks before. So man, I hope the world doesn't somehow get worse. But how's everybody's week been? Any fun holiday plans y'all would like to talk about? This week has been a constant waking up and thinking, wait, is today Friday? And then being disappointed in the answer. Me too. Everyone else, right? Yeah, Keenan and I were talking about this before. Yeah. Every day this week. Every day this week I'm just like, oh no, it's Saturday. And I'm just like, no, no, no, wait, wait, no. No, no, no, it's Wednesday. OK, I can deal with that. It's Wednesday, my dudes. This morning I was just like, I had to check my phone four times because I'm just like, I'm pretty sure it's Saturday. Maybe my phone's wrong. And I restarted my phone because my brain is just like rejecting all realities. I was also convinced that today was Saturday. Like I had a dream that today was Saturday. Last night. I had, I was in a meeting, we were recording this on Friday. I was in a meeting Thursday night. I mean it was like 6.30. And I was like, I mean, if we just said tomorrow, if we all acted like tomorrow was Saturday, it would be Saturday now. Technically. Yeah. It would just be Saturday. Days of the week are social constructs. Yeah. If we just all agreed. They're Roman constructs, but what are they going to be saying? If we all just said next Friday was Saturday, are they going to fire the world? I don't think so. You know what, Fridays are gone. Saturday is now 48 hours long. There you go. Boom. Wow. I love this idea. What a concept. A 48 hours Saturday. Saturday one, Saturday two. I like that. Hey, hang on a second. I like that. Now, would that be? Just one day of the week is like twice as long as that. Y'all know me. I love me. I love me some day theory reconstruction. If one day was 48 hours, would there be two breakfasts? Or would we just have a, would the morning be longer? Or would we have two mornings? No, it's not one day. We can go with Hobbit rules. Second breakfast, 11 z's. Only on Saturday. Gotta have 11 z's. Only on Saturday. Yes. I spit all over my screen. You can have that over different. Morning cartoons, and then Saturday morning cartoons. Again. Yeah. That would be an interesting concept for a day that's, it's twice as long, but it's not two day night cycles. It's just drawn out over a 48 hour period. Like your afternoon is like really from like 6 PM to 6 AM. Woof. I don't know if I like that anymore. I guess like. Well, we're not working, so it's fine. Right, yeah. And I guess that's like a siesta that would actually kind of just be like a six hour siesta. You know what I mean? How would, how would measuring time work if you're on a 12 o'clock? I mean, let's go back to what Issa said. Time is a social construct. But how would you know what time it is on, on whatever this 48 hour Saturday is? Let me, let me ask a question. Hey, let me ask a question. Okay. Okay. Social constructs be damned, bold statement, I know. Tear down that patriarchy. Yes. So let's say you didn't have to worry about anything, right? You didn't have to be anywhere at any certain time per se. Okay. I'm rich. I got it. Yeah. All my worries are gone. Do you think you would still have like a fairly normal sleep schedule? Or do you think you all, all hell breaks loose? What is the mark? Would you still go to bed around like, but sometime between 10 and two and wake up between like six and 10? Based on how all of my summers went, I would say all hell would break loose. I, I immediately, I think I would fall into that. What is that like by circadian rhythm? We're like, I would just like, oh, I'm tired. I'll sleep now and then wake up and do shit. And then, oh, I'm tired. OK, but, you know, like I would just like no caffeine, no anything. Just I'm tired now. I'll go to sleep. I'm awake now. I'm awake. That's it. I mean, that's like the ultimate goal is sleep when when you want to sleep. But I was going to say, it's like, what is the normal sleep schedule, especially after everything that's like, I don't sleep. I don't do the sleep thing anymore. It's like two hour nap and then it's like, OK, cool. I'm going to take a nap at like two o'clock in the morning. Then I'm up at four and then I can't do that. You're not. Wait, how old are you? Old enough. I'm my body. My body is aged twenty nine and a half years. OK, my soul. My soul is in my forties. OK, that's fair. My alarm is going on older than you. Yeah, we're too fucking old to do that. Kate, yet I'm here doing it. Not apparently. Sleep is sleep is a social construct. Can't keep calling everything a social construct. I mean, isn't it though? Most things are, Jordan. It's true. And once you realize that I don't really sleep, one is, though, burn it down. Yep, you know, I think I think everybody just says everything's a social construct. Gender is fired. We're going to just throw that away. Nobody wanted that. Yeah, money, social construct, throw that away. Everybody's just doing favors for each other because everybody's nice now. Yeah. Welcome to 2021. Everybody's nice now. Well, I like what they think. Oh, go back to the bartering system, guys. Yeah, I was going to say, do you guys remember when Greece had a financial collapse and their money was worthless? And so they started bartering. Like they would just use favors for each other as payment. Like, you know, you come to my kid, I'll give you these fruits and vegetables that I have. Like that happened a little bit in, like, 2009. I'm starting to worry about this, actually. I have no skills. Oh, I have no marketable, helpful skills to other people. Here's what you do. Listen, you are a masterful storyteller. OK, so when it comes to that, when everybody's just like, oh, down, they're done and everything's like, we need, we need a new tale. We need a new, a fantastical story. Please, Carrie, we have this food for you. Please tell us an amazing story. I'd be like, all right, let's do it. I don't know why I would. I would wait because all the food at the beginning, OK. I would probably like go into construction or something. If that happened when we were talking about. Days of the week, it just reminded me of that one episode of Doug where they quail man like has a invents an eighth day of the week called Fun Day. That's it. OK. That's it. Now I'm not remembering this. Do you guys remember that? I don't. But it sounds like a Doug episode. I'm always a quail man. But go ahead. Walk us through Fun Day. No, I forgot what happens. I just remember. OK, OK. Is it? Jordan's concept. It's not it's not Sunday. And you just say Fun Day, right? Like it is an eighth day. It's an eighth day of the week. Yeah. So after Sunday comes Fun Day. OK. And then Monday. So this is a Saturday counter day situation, right? Oh, no. No, this is OK. It's a whole new day for fun, specifically. It's not like we're getting rid of Friday. I think weekend should be three days long because by the time like Saturday is your decompression day. And then Sunday, you're like, I got all these chores to do. And your weekend's over. My didn't get to do anything. My my Twitter is just turning into a four day work week stand profile at this point. Yeah. The moment the moment you said that, Jordan, I was like, Oh, Carrie's turned on right now. I'm here. Jordan, I agree. I would I would much rather work slightly longer four day weeks and then have three days. Yeah, just give me that time back. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, baby. Oh, sorry. I can't get too excited on on air. Yeah, I'm a fan. It's just it's the problem is it's just going to take. It's not like a single company. It's not like a single industry. It's just it's like everybody just doing it. And it's hard if we all just start doing it. What are they going to do? Fire the world. Just don't show up on Friday anymore. And we already did it through Thursday. Everything's done. We did it all. Now Friday is a part of the weekend. That's how it works. That's it. That's it. I just I hear so many stories about people like in especially in like office jobs who like they're like, I don't I don't even work on Friday really. It's like, OK, we should make it official. Yeah, getting one. Yeah. Also, what? Not yeah, not not at like not in production, but like I don't know. Like I just anecdotally was like Friday. It's like, you know, fuck off around noon. It's a casual Friday. Yeah, don't worry about us. Yeah, wait, wait, what what magic is this? What do you mean you're not in means from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. What are you talking about? What is it like to live without anxiety? Yeah, I don't care. You chat out to those Alabama Amazon workers that are unionizing. Really? Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Are they going to go? They'll they'll finally they'll finally have one day weekends, probably. Those are the ice cream truck that's driving. That is I feel like it's parked outside. It was at base was expensive. Yeah, yeah, I'll make fun of him all day. I mean, I still please do. Please. I'm a bad person, but I'll make fun of it. I I saw somebody say being a billionaire is a moral failing where it's like you have more money than you'll ever need. And you're just hoarding this wealth. Like that's a moral shortcoming. So nobody needs that much money. Exactly. Billionaire shouldn't exist. They should be giving that money to either charities or like whatever. Investing it into their employees and the growth of the industry or anything. Billionaire wages. Exactly like going to get me started on this. Mackenzie Mackenzie Bezos. I don't know what her maiden name is now, but she has donated four billion dollars in four months to charity. That's hell, yeah. Since her divorce, go for it. She got all that all that money. Yeah. So she's trying. So that's good. But I'm in I'm in the same boat. And I I know people vehemently will disagree. And like I do I do understand this like want of like. We're I don't know if we're getting way too political here. But I understand this want of like you you earned it. Like that's what people it's like two people. Yeah, earned it. It's yours. You should be able to have it. But also here's a concept. Well, you didn't earn it. The other thing wealth is not necessarily merit based. Yes. Yeah. People always draw that conclusion of, oh, he's a successful businessman. He must be a good person or he's earned it. That's not necessarily the case always. I honestly, I I feel like socially, we all immediately assume the opposite. Yeah, if I find out somebody's a billionaire, I mean, if if movies have taught me anything, the person with the billions of dollars oppressing their workers is a bad person. They're always the villain. I really just want to say that like Elon Musk, in particular, is just like. Dude, that guy, I mean, he's that guy needs to stop. He's a super villain. But he doesn't realize it. He's just like, no, I'm totally the hero of the story. It's like, what story? What are you talking about? You like it's because people people are fans of the things he does. And he doesn't do it. No, but like, but like he himself didn't necessarily come up with these ideas. No, he didn't. And he took over the company. Yeah, I this is like this. And we talked about this, I think, a little bit at the end of the last episode that we recorded. This is like a moral quandary I have where. I like what Tesla has done for the industry. Right. That is very good. Mm hmm. I also don't like Elon Musk. I don't like Elon Musk. But in the middle, the middle thing that I feel weird about and like, maybe I can help me phrase this if I don't phrase it well is that. When to to revolutionize an industry, I don't know how you do it without being kind of weird and without I don't want to say pushing people, but pushing concepts. So I feel like it does take somebody like him to do that. But I also don't want to then hold them up permanently. Exactly. Like put them put them on a pedestal and be like, yeah, like nobody has ever achieved their full like I'm a flawless individual. Like, no, no, I agree with a lot of what he's done either. Yeah. Like now that I've given society this thing, you must revere me for all time. I am above reproach and infallible. Yeah, which is how all people always end up treating celebrities and, you know, people in the public space in general. It's like, I just wish he would just shut up. Like that would that would that would go a long way. It's because it's like he's doing great stuff with cars. Solar roofs are great. SpaceX is awesome. Shut up. Yeah, stop, though. And work does take a certain type of person to do that to achieve that stuff and push those things forward. But that's the weird thing. Yeah, that's that's where it's like, I don't get into him like we don't owe him anything for that. No. No. In fact, he owes your friend, Jeff Bezos. And yes, they are not your friends. No need to defend them like they are on Twitter. They have billions of dollars. Yeah, people are even defending Bezos. I can understand Musk, because I feel like there's like a weird fan club around him. But Jeff, yeah, who's a Jeff Bezos stand? Who would want to defend him? You'd be surprised if I defend him. Maybe he'll give me some of his many, many dollars. He won't. I see. He hates you. Yeah, I just it's weird when you like you like what a person it's weird when you like the end result, but you don't like the person and you don't necessarily like how they got there. And people always want to champion billionaires and successful businessmen because they see themselves as reaching that point someday. Right. Yeah, it's just like I'm I'm just not a billionaire yet. I fucking love all of the memes that have been if if you're worried about X, you don't need to be worried about the tax cuts. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Or the tax or the tax rising that was like the if you have like that popcorn ceiling, you don't need to be because my house has that. It is just like, oh, oh, there was one. Yeah, where like this is like if your door looks like this, you don't need to worry about it. I think it was a tech talk where a guy like looks at his door and it's like the same door and he's like, damn. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I yeah, long story short. I don't understand what you need with more than a billion dollars. Just give it away. Reinvested. There's a there's an article that Karim Abdul Jabbar of all people posted. I don't know what publication it was, because this is just an Apple News link. I want to say it was the Hollywood reporter, but he has a great line. It has to do with like people who are in the public eye and then like, you know, for lack of a better term, think they're infallible and say one of their things that they believe that society doesn't like and rightfully get raked over the coals for them. And he uses how he uses an example early on where like he contributed to filmmaking and aviation, but everyone only remembers that he like collected his toenail clippings in a mason jar. So he ends he ends this piece like with this. And it says, great success in one field can lead to the delusion that all your thoughts are great. It doesn't help to be surrounded by fawning people whose job it is to agree with everything you say. And I wish I could get it to load because there's a part where it's like your thing to put a quote. He he he ends it with saying like they excrete their opinion into mason jars or something like that. I don't have it exactly, but it's so savage. Let me see if I can find it. I can't click on that. I just wanted to clarify it because actually I don't think I knew as much about this as I probably should have. It's not good to keep your toenail clippings in a mason jar. Oh my God. I'm not. No, he's not saying that. Nobody's saying that. Yeah. OK. Like that is starting in a problem or is filling the jar problem. Nobody here is going to yuck your yum, Carrie. OK. Yeah, you do you, man. I'm not doing this just for the record. I just I'm curious. I just wanted to understand, you know, societal norms. Let's talk about, you know, where are they? Turn back. Where are they? They're all it's all constructs. Maybe we need social constructs so we don't have mason jars. Oh, God, no, I've turned. I don't know. We don't. This is how they get you, Carrie. Just keep your jar to yourself, and it's fine. I won't show it on stream. Yeah. God, this is desperately trying to get this article to live. We are just fucking episode. I'm ashamed. It's great. Hey, OK, it's it's as this invited me on. And every time I've been on the inside gaming podcast, it's just like, oh, look, here comes Caden talking about how big business is very bad and not helping and not actually doing stuff. Is that just the vibe that you give? And then everyone just kind of ends up like latching onto it subconsciously. I'm glad that I give off that vibe. I'm happy that that's the vibe I give off. I'm I'm very pleased with that. In fact, that that makes me very happy. George, you said you say I have it. If you guys are still interested, I just like, OK, let's finish this off. Their professional legacies could become brief footnotes to the memory of their collection of mason jars filled with their excreted opinions. Solid quote. Love it. The the pen is mightier than the basketball, Mr. OK, all right. That's that's that's a tank. You went for it. I really like that. I really like that. Thanks. He said did you? I'm glad we're finally got there. I think you put in a thing about a new Chinese animation. Yes. So a couple of fun movie news for next year, 2021. The legend of Hay, a Chinese Chinese animation, Chinese anime movie, I guess, specifically, is finally coming to North American theaters next year. And Legend of Hay was released 2020. It was earlier this year. And it's based off of a popular web animated series. And you know how it's just like like webtoons is like webtoons and there's like neighbor, like there's these specific Asian sites that are sites from Asia that are like specifically for like watching videos. It's like Japan has their own version of YouTube or like China has their own version of YouTube. It's on there. OK, got you. This is a flash series. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, he spent apparently he spent five years adapting it from a flash animation from that's crazy. It's not wild. It's it's pretty much a like kind of a fantasy. Well, I've got like tonight is right here. It's a fan fantasy, supernatural fantasy combined into like throwing it into a modern day setting where all these different legends, I think, or like these different magical beings also appear in real life. In the main series, it really concentrates on this black cat. And you think it's like the misadventures of this one cat, but actually the series evolves and it turns out they're about magical beings. It's a really interesting way to kind of really real an audience in because you think it's like super sweet and it's just it's really cute animation, really, really good designs. And then it's just like, oh, wait, there's even more. And so the movies, I probably some backstory for the actual web series. There's a there's a great gift that was posted on Twitter with some like shots from the movie. Yeah. And the one where the little cat shows up. He's so angry. That is so angry. He's so angry. This variety article compares it to Prince Manoké and Miori's Forest. Oh, I love I love the the the design and the animation style. It looks really cool. It's really pretty. Are they going to dub it, Issa? Oh, I only watch dubs. I'm just curious. Shut up. Yeah, actually, I think yes, they should. Yeah, I was actually it'll be it'll be licensed for that. I got excited because we've worked with people who are doing it, which is awesome. How do you know so much about this? Because I click on the link. Yeah, it's right there. You do not like I read the whole research. Did you really really did you read it? Did you scroll all the way down? Where it says for North American release and it starts listing all you got to go. So it's already, Jordan. It's OK. Oh, I see. Shot to Howard Wayne. I don't know any of these people. Howard Wayne plays Whitley. He's yeah. Yeah, but I don't have to know. Well, you did. Yeah, you have not worked with Howard Wayne. Yeah, you might have, Jordan. That's cool. I'm excited. The other piece of news to you. Yeah. You want to take this one? No, absolutely. Issa, all you. All me. Mama Hosura announced his newest movie for next year called Bell. I will say the Japanese title is so much cooler. What is it? The Dragon and the Freckled Princess. Oh, yeah. That is a way. Beautiful. Sobakasu Nohime. Cool. Yeah. I'm assuming this does seem. Jordan, I will. I will end the show. It's like with this moment, so it's like it's a good thing you're not within strangling distance. If we were in studio, I'd probably just like go like this. Yeah, if you're not familiar with Hosada, he did Summer Wars, Will Children, Boy and the Beast. The Digimon movie. The Digimon movie. Love it. I actually haven't seen. What was the one that he did? Oh, Mirai, Summer Wars, Mirai. I haven't seen it yet. I mean, I was good. Is it? OK. Is it? Is it a Netflix? Or I don't remember where I watched it. I have the Blu-ray now sitting on my entertainment center. I just haven't watched it. I think it's on Netflix. I think it is on. It's on Netflix. It's on. OK, there you go. Yeah. I haven't seen a scene in the Yipus movies, but I really do want some, especially Boy and the Beast. Yeah. Come on. I know. I'm really excited about it. Maybe. Yeah. You don't want to touch my stuff right now. But his films typically kind of revolve around a relationship. Not in a like romantic sense, but, you know, like Summer Wars is very that one's just kind of I feel like generally family oriented Wolf Children is about, you know, a mother relationship. Boy and the Beast is about a father relationship. So you know how Paul Thomas Anderson's movies are all about like two people going through something. Yeah, I was like fast and furious about like family. No. Every time. Every time. I was actually reading his Wikipedia article and was interested in learning that he was originally slated to direct House Moving Castle. But the he had to leave the project due to creative differences. That's a good phrase. This makes sense. This makes sense. It was strained due to creative differences. According to Hosada, he was, quote, told to make the movie similar to how Miyazaki would have made it. But he wanted to make his own film the way he wanted to make it. So in the end, he left. Yeah, kind of makes sense. I mean, I think it wasn't. That was probably around one of the times he was trying to retire. So he was probably like, hey, we're trying to make people not scared. About Miyazaki, too. But yeah, yeah, and they're like, how about his son and his son was like, Miyazaki hates him. I mean, didn't he walk out of his son's movies like this? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. The like 100 percent Asian dad right there. That sounds like something John Landis would do with Max Landis. Is. Yeah. I just I mean, like I feel bad. I just always got a person that the director. He's like forced to. Yeah, it's it's it's not better. Miyazaki is directing another movie already. Yes, yeah. Yeah. How do you live? He's never retired, retiring and then retiring and unretiring, which is kind of the industry over there. Anyway, it's like, just stop saying it. Just being like, hey, I'm chilling out right now. But yeah, you can't do that. It's not part of the culture, Carrie. Yeah, let's start it. If I'm not doing anything, I'm retiring. And then when I'm going to do something, I am unretired again. That's true. So I'm looking at Wikipedia pages now. Yeah, I'm retired for two weeks. Yeah. Me, too. I am also retired for two weeks. Dude, if we work culture here is bad. Japan probably has a million dollars. Yeah, well, hey, speaking of just more things where we're excited about, I wanted to, you know, end of the year. I want to not do the talk about how shitty 2020 is. What are you guys, did you know it was a bad year? Did you know? Who fucking cares? Twenty twenty has been really hard on all of us. Oh, come on. This is here to be exact bit last episode. I did. But why? Carrie, what happened? Let's talk about twenty twenty one. Let's talk about some things we're excited about for twenty twenty one. Fresh air, sunlight. You can have that now, Jordan. No, there's it's cloudy outside. Come on. I have one, actually. Go for it. So you guys will hate me for saying this. No, but I love you more.

And we appreciate the support that you're giving us because you're definitely giving us support. He says from the future. But I also because when we posted about it, you gave us support. So I'm just assuming it's carrying over. You can also watch recorded by ours all. Oh, thanks. Because it's very good. I don't know if it's announced yet, but I bought this with my own money. I just want you to know that. Oh, I'm so happy for you. I did get our giant discount, but I did buy it with my own money. I bought it with 25% of my money. Carrie, when you showed up with that shirt, I'm just like, I wore that exact shirt for my prerecording for the last episode. I'm just like, I'm bringing ours all energy into 2021. That's what I'm doing. Aw. I picked that shirt specifically because I just was like, I'm carrying this into 2021 with me. Because this is great. This is amazing. A lot of things came. Issa, did you have, did you actually have one too? Or was it? It was the ad read. No, it was, it was the read. I did. Here's the thing I'm excited about. Jordan, you were gonna say something. Jordan. Here's the thing Jordan's excited about. I was gonna say that during the mid-season break, we have some cool stuff coming out to tide you over every week. Probably. This may have not been announced yet. We're, we, yeah, we don't think it's specifics, but we realize that it's a longer break than normal. So we're gonna try and bring you some extra content to, you know, just keep you feeling warm and fuzzy until we can get back to airing regularly. But, you know, in that meantime, if you maybe haven't caught up completely in the season, or if you have a friend that was maybe like waiting until the end, like maybe you can just poke him or go ahead and do it now. It's a good time to get caught up. Yeah. TLDR, good stuff. Good stuff coming. We appreciate it. Here's something I'm excited about in 2021. Hollow Knight silk song, hopefully. Woo-hoo! Fingers crossed. Fingers crossed. Oh. I want it so bad. I'm replaying that right now. I'm replaying Hollow Knight right now. It's so good. It's so good. It's such a great. Absolutely. I'd kill for it. I'd kill for an animated series of that. I absolutely die for an animated series of that because it's so good. If I could just pick a series to work on, it would be that. It would be that. But yeah, we, hopefully. We haven't heard about like any news on the game in a while which actually makes me hopeful that, you know, they're gonna like drop like a big update and like tell us exactly what's coming out. I want them to take their time if it needs to be 2022. I think we've all learned very recently that taking your time is better. Yeah, not 2077. Yeah, but when it's ready to come out, oh, I'm excited to play it. If it's next year, oh, that'd be very good. That'd be very good. 2021. So I'm very excited for that. Who else is excited for something in 2021? I'm excited for, I'm excited for one of my favorite, my favorite visual novels slash manga series to finally get in the way. So I'm a spider. So what is coming out? Let's see, in a couple of weeks, I think, by the time this is airing, I think January 8th is when it's gonna start airing in Japan which means any moment after that, we're probably gonna get it, it's either simulsub or simuldub which would be super awesome. Now, Kate, how many little assistants can you say just the title again? Cause it was in the middle of a sentence and I just couldn't tell where the title started and ended. So I'm a spider, so what? Okay. So what? So I'm a spider, so what? And that's the title of it and not a sentence for saying, got it, got it. Jordan and I only know this particular series because of the light novel game that we play. Yeah, I think it was one of the first episodes of Buy It's Cover that we play. I wanna see a spin-off series. I'm a scorpion, forget about it. Is it from the first person of a tiny spider? It's not necessarily, well, yeah, kind of to a degree. It's an Isakai girl in her entire class, they all die and that's like the opening. It's just like, everybody's dead immediately. It opens on a black screen. This is like, so I'm dead. Okay, okay. And then she's like. You're probably wondering how I got here. Right, it really is like, it's darn good. She's just like very confused and then she realizes, oh wait, I'm not dead anymore, I think. And then starts like moving these limbs around her and then pushes out and it was, the darkness was the egg that she was inside and she hatches and she's the spider now. And now she has to live in this, you know, it's very traditional, magical nonsense world, but she figures out that she played a lot of games and she's just like, well I can kind of manipulate this to my benefit because I'm the spider and these creatures evolve in different ways. So if I just kill a couple of people, you know, kill a couple of these monsters, I can get like fire resistance and poison resistance and all that sorts. So she starts gaming the system and I love that. It's just like, she plays it very, very clean. And you don't actually get any like additional side characters for quite some time, which is very unusual for an Isakai where usually it's just like, I got Isakai and now here's my harem, which, you know, that's cool, I guess, but she's, it's a very different type of Isakai, which I very, very, very much like, I know people are tired of Isakai's, but they're good, they're so good. Can I ask you a question? Yeah, go for it. Is it like a sexy spider? You know what, Carrie, hold on a second. I'm gonna send you a message. I'm gonna send you a message and you're gonna be just like, does the spider, does the spider have boobs? That's all. I just wanna know. I just wanna know if the spider has boobs. Okay, I'm not saying that I'm pro or against anything. I'll say this, I'll say this. At the beginning, at the beginning, no, because tiny little spider, okay? Tiny little spider. But, you know, as things go, I'm gonna send this to you and you're gonna just lose your mind. I'm actually gonna post it. Wait, I can post it. I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna just post it here. Are you gonna post it on the Discord? Yeah, of course. Let's go full camera, Jordan, please. Full camera, Jordan, I wanna get his reaction. Full camera, Jordan, right there. Which one's the spider? The one in the middle, that's connected to the spider, my dude. Oh, she does have boobies. What? I love her, by the way. I love her. It's like a centaur. She's so great. Like, everything about her always looks great. No, because in the first book, she was just a spider with anime eyes. Yeah, she's just a tiny little spider. And her name is Kumako, and she starts off as this little tiny lesser tesseract, this little tiny spider. I legit thought you were gonna say a tiny lesbian, and I was just like, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's what I thought that was going to. Here's where she, yeah, hold on. I have plenty of images. See, look, there she is. That's what she starts looking like. Aw, that's cute. Oh, see, that one I recognize. Yeah. That's a lesbian. Well, I mean, without getting a spoiler, I guess, so that means at some point, a sexy person bursts out of her abdomen. I mean, technically, it's closer to her head. You're right. I'm not such an idiot. So does that. You're right. So the only thing we know about spiders is that they have eight legs. So does that mean she has ten? Because she has two arms? Is that the thing you're thinking about the most right now? Is that really the thing that you're focusing on? She's got legs for days is what's happening here, right? That's all she needs. I'm assuming this is Cole's favorite. Jordan's not looking at the boobs is his primary. I was surprised. I know, Cole was surprised that I knew this and I'm just like, do you have any idea how much I love like cryptids and monsters and mythology and all that stuff? This is my jam. It's like, I got turned into a spider and now I'm just gonna like eat dragons and stuff and then turn into this. Absolutely. 100%. I can't stop looking. Kaden, I feel like you're like a grab bag when it comes to like what you like. When I hear, when you're like, oh, I'm so into this. I'm like, yeah, that makes sense. I have a post on Tumblr that has like 100,000 notes which explains my gripes with one of my favorite Disney movies ever, which is Robin Hood. I have big problems with it. I love that movie and I've decided one day I'm just like, I'm gonna sit down and formulate my concepts on this and everything and I post it and I'm just like, this is gonna get zero notes. Nobody's gonna care. Yeah. People care. No, people care. People care. Yeah. People love analytic essays on Tumblr. Yeah. I've seen them all. I've seen them all the time. I've seen them all the time. Besides it being like completely not faithful to the source material whatsoever. I have issues with it. I have issues with it. That's how Robin Hood works. How is made Marion a fox when her relatives are lions and I don't say this simply because, oh, there's a lineage there and everything like that. It's because I want a six foot tall lion woman dating this four foot tall fox man because that is more fun. There it is, there it is. I mean, they never talk about the fact that the mailman was a fox. That's what happened. Maybe that's what happened. I don't know. Okay, I wanna go back to Spider real quick. Can I? Okay. I can't. Not that it matters. I'm just curious, because this is such a new concept to me. Does she have other parts? Oh my God, Carrie. We just- Does she have other parts? Does the human part stop at the tummy there? I just- Does it stop at the tummy? I just have, it's just not what I thought it was gonna be. I mean, isn't that good though? If you expect something and it changes how you feel about it, right? Yeah, you know what? I'm just happy it exists. Okay. That's where I'm at with it. I'm happy that you're happy. I'm just, I'm very, I am interested in the series now, not for anyone else. I'm glad, I'm glad, and I'm glad you appreciate the Spider Wife. I'm so happy. How can you not? If you'd like to borrow the visual novels, then I will lend them to you. They're very good. You know what? Not to sound weird, Caden, I think I might wanna watch this one. Please, please watch it. I might, I think I would prefer the visual aspect. Okay, yeah, all right. Winter 2021. Have a chat with Cole about- Oh yeah, baby. Some spider stuff. Some spiders. Yeah, we'll start a Slack group. We're attracted to spiders. So what? With Caden and Caden. So what? So what? Please, please invite me to that. It's 100% fair for that. Full intention that you'll be there. You're on the first invite, yeah. Thank you. What are you looking forward to, Caden? I was, well, I was trying to think of what's happening in 2021. And so I brought up this article that doesn't have all of the movies, but it's 74 most anticipated movies of 2021. I'm not gonna watch 74 movies in the year, so it might as well be all of the movies. We were talking about this before, and I mentioned that a Rugrats movie is on this list. And I thought it was gonna be in Nickelodeon Studios, another animated piece, because those movies were pretty, like, I wouldn't say they're good, but they're like, well done. Here's what it says, January 29th, 2021. Tommy Chucky and the rest of the gang are back. Details are scarce with David Bowers at the helm as director. This new live-action remake for the classic Nickelodeon cartoon is bound to be nostalgia, including inducing box office hit. How are they coming together? How the fuck do you propose you do this? They're babbies. Maybe this is the all grown up edition of this again, which totally did very well the first time they did it, so let's try it again. That show was weird. Like, seeing Tommy with hair was weird. It was very weird. But yeah, it's just called Rugrats, so there's no subtitle. I think they're babies still, and live-action, this is gonna be like, look who's talking or something. Oh, God, yeah. Where the babies just look. Or baby geniuses. And then they're just like, dubbed over. Yeah, human mouth movements. I don't like that. It's like that TikTok filter where it's just like your eyes and your lips, and then they put that on the babies. It says it is a live-action CGI hybrid. No. That's worse. So, I don't like that. I'm thinking they got like, Benedict Cumberbatch to do like the Smout stuff. Oh my God. Like he's gonna be like crawling around. Yeah, I love that guy. Gaga. Yeah. Someone needs to change my line. Dypey. He's walking pigeon toad like Tommy does. Yeah. To get into character. I have, I've got, how? Okay. I know, now I kinda need to see it. Watch Party. That's how we watch it. That's how we do this together. You can't go into that alone. Here's the thing that's already troubling. Okay. We're recording this mid-December of 2021, of 2020. This comes out in January of 2021. Apparently, that's the release date. No marketing material so far. I didn't even know it was a thing. Yeah. That's not good. That's never a good sign. And yeah, movies coming out in January are usually like let out to pasture, so to speak. But it's a different landscape than it was, than it is normally. So like movies that were supposed to come out at certain times have been pushed, but who knows what it actually means. Apparently there's a new animated series coming. Of Rugrats? Yeah, in early 2021. It was supposed to premiere in 2020. The TV series and movie will include new adventures with original characters, Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, Susie, Angelica, Dil, Kimmy, while also introducing a new world of characters. So, okay. I'm glad they're bringing Kimmy back. Interesting. I don't want it. I guess I need to watch more Nickelodeon because I don't know how this got passed. This got passed us. How did that become a thing? I'm just, I'm desperately, desperately looking for a cast. Or trailers. I gotta know what it looks like. I know they bring back the original voice cast for the animated series. I'm not seeing anything. I doubt it if they wanted to. May 13th, 2020, Vanity Fair confirmed Nancy Cartwright would reprise her role as Chuckie Finster. Okay. And the show, they said that we're gonna start airing in fall 2020. They announced that they were delaying it until 2021. This is apparently a slew of new spinoff shows, including, you know, the first of which was the new Blue's Clues, which is actually pretty good. Okay. Okay. So I am just... Although Blue is now 3D in that. Yes. It looks pretty okay. Does that bother you, Jordan? I like the original Blue, but I get it. That's fine. I get it. It's still pretty cute. It's still pretty cute. Space Jam 2 is coming out. Space Jam 2 is coming out. Space Jam 2, man. Come on in, Slam. I'm good. And welcome to Japan. I'm good. And welcome to Japan. You don't want to come on in, Slam, and then welcome yourself into the Jam. It's coming out on HBO Max, though. You got here. Yeah. You don't gotta go anywhere to see it. I will do that, yeah. I just wanna, I wanna slam and jam on my time. I don't want to be instructed to slam and or jam. Okay. I want to wake up and I wanna be like, you know what I'm gonna do today? I think I'm gonna jam. I think I'm gonna slam and jam today, you know? Like that's what I want. Oh man. Here's one untitled Elvis film directed by Boz Lerman. Austin Butler beat out tons of hopefuls to win the role of the famed king of rock and roll for this biopic for Warner Brothers. That means we get to watch it. Boz Lerman on board to write and direct, it's bound to be a lush cinematic experience. Tom Hanks is also attached to the supporting role. Jordan, I need you to look at the URL right bar right now and double check that you're not on the onion. It's rotten tomatoes, baby. Oh, he's right. That's the right vegetable. That's the right one. Austin Butler is Elvis Presley. Tom Hanks is Colonel Tom Parker. Oh my. Well, I can't think of a better way to end the episode. No, we're just getting started. Oh man. Yeah, we got a few minutes left, baby. Did you say something you're excited about? I didn't, I didn't, I didn't say anything. I was trying to think like what would be a good... It's gotta be better than Jordan saying Rugrats because technically that was your answer, Jordan, and that's gonna go down in time. Yeah, no, that was a bad call, Jordan. Yeah, I'm glad you brought it up, but you fucked it. Oh man, there are no other like dumb, what is Blazing Samurai? Starring Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Sera, and George... Wait. Originally slated for release in 2017, this star stud animation feature will finally see the light of day in 2021. I think I might be excited about that. Nope, you're not gonna like this next, but inspired by Mel Brooks's classic Western Blazing saddles, the cast includes Michael Sera, Samuel L. Jackson, and Ricky Gervais. Go ahead, Issa, what are you excited for? Issa, please, please say anything other than that. Make Jordan stop. Jordan stop talking. I'll find another one if you don't start talking. No, no, I'll talk. I don't have anything like media related that is jumping out to me in terms of what I'm excited about. I think this is more of a bit of a personal thing, though. My sister's baby is coming next year. It's my first niece and or nephew, although she thinks it's going to be a boy, but that means it'll be a girl. And there may be a girl. She just texted me actually at the beginning of the show because she was like, oh, because I gave her an up print or a piece of art from the Pixar movie Up. And she was like, oh, you gave me an idea for the baby's room. And so they're gonna base it off of adventure. So they'll be blonde, simple, and I was like, oh, that's really cute. She's gonna make you paint it. You're not wrong. It'll probably be me. It'll be fun though. I actually wouldn't mind. This is the, I think there was one point my brother texted me before like a couple of days ago. He goes, what are we getting? What are we getting? Our sister. And I went, oh, I already got her something. He goes, damn it. But I was also- Go in on something together. We're together. I also told him, it's like, yo, Loki, I'm about to spoil this baby though. Oh yeah. Whatever she wants, I got it, I'm gonna get it. Before we do wrap up, one thing I wanna say that I am excited about, although I don't know exactly when this is gonna come out, so stay tuned. But we'll have some more news. But just cool thing, Jeff and Casey Williams, known for, a lot of people know for doing the music in Ruby. The Ruby. The Ruby songs, they're gonna be doing a song for the Arknights soundtrack. Super popular game. I heard it. Very cool. So more information later, but yeah, we're really excited about it, it's gonna be cool. Yeah, they worked very well. And I think, Issa, with that, I think that's our last episode of 2020. You wanna take us out? That's our last episode of 2020. Thanks for being here, Carrie. Thanks for being here, Jordan. Issa's using her sentimental voice. I'm excited. Issa? It's true. I don't have any big speeches for the end of 2020, but I just wanna say thanks, guys. It's been a, I was gonna say it's been a good year, which like subjectively may or may not be true, but it's good whenever I'm with you guys, so that means I think it's a good year. When we look back at 2020, I think that it's gonna be important that we don't completely ignore the positives that did happen during it, even though the negatives probably outweighed it. Yeah. So good things happen. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Remember some of the good things to say. Yes, at least some of them. At least some. My beloved audience, if you'd like to watch other videos on the site, there's plenty to love, especially also in the future, as we're talking about 2021. January 8th, Dead Little Roosters is premiering BTWs. That's so soon. It's so soon. It's gonna be really great. It's just, it's like tomorrow, but not quite. It's tomorrow, but yeah, it's true. Yeah, Caden's right. Issa, if you, if you, if you're the murderer, blink in the next two minutes. Oh, she already did. Uh-oh. No, I, what if I'm lying? What if I'm lying? Secret code. The ARG has started. Secret code. You guys, actually. Jordan and I smile as if we have a secret. A secret. Cool. Thank you, everybody. And yeah, have a good New Year's and hopefully a better 2021 than 2020. Bye, be safe, be good, everybody. Let's go watch that Rugrats movie.
