 Boo boo, and we're streaming and I'll just start recording the show after I make sure the stream is working. It looks like it's working Man, yeah Bikes are about to get expensive by bikes. Yep. I actually I'm gonna get the rear the The rear entire wheel on my bike replaced. How could it explode? Yeah, it's uh, I took it to another bike shop just because I was getting some other stuff done And I was like so this other bike shop said that that my rear wheel is dangerous and bad What do you think and he was like it looks fine to me Like maybe and then he looked at it you spun it around a little bit And he was like did you replace this spoke and he points at one particular spoke and I'm like Yeah, actually I did and he's like yeah, this tire is fucking shot and he started to explain why and it was pretty cool Seems like the rule of thumb is if you lose more than three spokes just throw the wheel away. It's done I've I've replaced nine spokes When in the last what is wrong eight years? So about a spoke a year. I lose on the rear wheel I know I've never had a spoke of any bike ever also both bike shops said the same thing about what I've never had a front tire Do it I've never had a mountain bike do it This bike is doing it and basically the guy actually I asked the guy literally asked me at the bike shop Are you a mountain biker? And I was like yeah, and he was like when you start going how do you start and I kind of demonstrate it and basically I Accelerate really hard whenever I'm at a stop or whenever I want to go faster And I basically stand up and slam down like I push hard and crank really hard Anytime I want to get going again or go faster and it puts a lot of stress on the rear spokes And it's not something that normal bikers do it's something mountain bikers do but mountain bike spokes are Thicker and stronger So he basically said I gotta get a heavier rear wheel or I got to stop doing that So I'm gonna have your rear wheel. All right, we already got some people watch. Let's do this go away people Come back next Thursday Here's a stream exclusive where we might try on next Thursday You're allowed to come next Thursday until then go a very special episode of Geek Nights where we will interact with an audience in a Fashion it might fail miserably stay tuned. We're trying. We're trying something new which we have not tried in a long time on Geek Nights Yeah It'd be a better thing to do like once a month on like a Saturday. Well, if it's successful we could just do it forever Well, I was thinking more about there's a lot of ways to make it There's a lot of things we can do. Anyway, I'm not gonna spoil all that for the listener I love that show It's Wednesday, September 19th, 2018 I'm brim. I'm Scott and this is Geek Nights tonight We review the fantastic night is short walk on girl So I've been actually training myself to do faster half marathons like I I've realized that I can't run short distances as fast as I used to because 35 and 25 and That kind of training is kind of hard on me and like my 5k times are never gonna get better but old people Consistently run very good marathons and half marathons and all those like like 10k and up length races So I've actually been training to do long runs for the last summer as opposed to what I used to do up to that point And it's starting to pay off So I can now reliably do a half marathon under two hours Even if it's hot out, even if I'm tired, even if I don't bring food like I'm always under two hours So now I'm shooting for an hour 50 and but more importantly I found a pretty good route because They fixed a couple of there's a couple of spot like all the ways I can run 15 or 14 or whatever miles Basically either required me to do a bunch of like fiddly navigation around like traffic lights Or I have to go way out of my way from a bike path like if I run north on the east side The bike path or the running path is broken in a couple of places for construction And if I run around into Queens I got to deal with traffic and like if I go another way I got to ride the subway home because I'm not gonna run five miles home after I run 15 miles But I found a route that goes a loop into Manhattan and back up through Brooklyn into Queens That's almost exactly a half marathon if I make one tweak to it Why don't you just run to a park and then run in a circle and then run home because that sucks I want I like to cover new and novel ground. Otherwise running is boring as shit See also biking. You want to just you want to just bike to Central Park and go around it all day and nothing else Are you enjoying the biking or you're enjoying the seeing stuff both if you're enjoying the seeing stuff You could just ride a car now. It's both. It's it's it's the traversing distances with different scenery over time Get a get a Google Maps VR biking hookup where you just bike in place And then you see new stuff on the in your VR. No, that's Not nearly as fun Because you're just on rollers. You're not really biking put a fan in front. You don't even know now You're still just on rollers. I mean, yes If biking in New York or in the world constituted a perfectly flat level Unchanging just know they have they have one the trainers that like get harder that match up with the video And they get harder and easier as the video has hills or downhills in it That's still not that's still just not like it's not a terrain. It's just flat. It's still perfectly flat There's no bumps. I guess I guess it can't bump you I would like it to bump me. You want to get bumped actually what I'm really going to try now is that? Mountain biking course up in spring now that I figured out where it is. So it may be there's one in Queens. Yeah That's not good. I looked into it. The good one near New York is near the Springbrook Highway and like up in the Bronx And that's the place to go. It's being a biking Because of tariffs bikes in the US are about to get expensive So if you want and it's already the right time to buy a bike because it's fall Which is when new bike models come out and last year's bikes are cheap So if you want to buy a bike you got about a month to buy a bike and after that It's not gonna be a great time to buy a bike unless you buy like a used one, which then it won't matter Yeah, but it's only gonna be like a 20% price increase. That is Significant it turns your $500 bike into a $600 bike or your $1,000 bike into a $1,200 bike That is a lot of money. Yeah Unless you're buying a $100 bike then it becomes a $120 bike, which is not a big deal Yep. Yeah, I did the other thing would be if you're like I'm gonna buy some parts that I'm gonna need in the near future sooner Rather than later. Mm-hmm. The other the problem is even buying them now I think the price increases are gonna come well ahead of the tariffs actually affecting the supply line I'm saying by like today. Yeah this week. The moral is if you voted for Trump You fucked up and now bikes are more expensive unless you hate bikes and then You're still a bad person you think people put it for Trump like bikes You ever see that you ever seen this you ever seen a cyclist with a red hat They're in fact the literal opposite of the kind of person who would like a bike Feel like I feel like anyone who rides bikes is guaranteed not to be right It was in a right wing bike person. I don't know I Imagine if I found a right wing bike person they either have one of those Cheating things that lets it look like you're on a real bike, but it's actually an electric motor Or they just stole the bike So anyway, we got a ton of geek bites because we've been watching a bunch of stuff and We've not been watching the same stuff But I think almost nothing we're watching overlaps except tona gala's middle management Whatever and walk on girl the night is I think I think I'm done watching tona gala I watched two more episodes and I like it But I feel like I got to watch Akagi Before I could truly appreciate it and also as much as I like it It's not as good as a lot of the other things I'm watching So what do you what do you have to say about honey bottle? Oh, so because we talked about this in a judge anime Right, so when we judged anime there was a badminton show and I feel like what we said was like Oh, it's a sports anime It'll probably be just like all the other sports anime is like yoha pedal and haiku, but only badminton this time so I watched one episode of the badminton show and The badminton show is Not good Like what's bad about it? Okay curious So the first of all it is doesn't have any of the comedy or excitement that other sports anime have it is super serious Which could be good. I was like they're super serious like touch sure But it's it's has a little bit of the things that Yuri on ice has Which is at the very start it shows two people and one of them loses to the other person at badminton And then for some reason they're both at the same school One of them is in the badminton club the one who lost and is all angry at the world and and you know It means all the other badminton club people so the club is gonna fall apart and the other person who would the person Who won and scored all the points and destroyed the angry person isn't even playing badminton They're playing tennis and they're like a genius It is like on it, you know, but they they don't even want to right it's like well to be fair tennis is way more fun than badminton They're the the reluctant, you know prodigy person They're all shy and don't want to say anything and don't even want to play badminton like it's almost like Shinji, right? But basically none of these characters have any character or are likable in any way It's like there's no character you give a shit about and everyone's taking everything way too serious Like they're crying about badminton club within episode one And then it the only character that has any life to them whatsoever is Mysterious person who's clearly some sort of coach who reminds me a lot of the bad perverted coach from the horse show. Oh The only good news only there was only one scene of perversion so far and then It's like we've introduced here this person's gonna help the bet you bet badminton And it's not no unless you it's not good. All right, I will refrain from watching it I want to show that's like your pet home with crazy characters. You know, we're like, I mean But nope, there's no character in here. What's funny is I already forget what we said about this show So I don't actually know if we pretty sure I thought it was gonna be in just like all the other sports And I may only badminton, but no, it's worse than all the other sports anime only badminton Yep, so I watched the first episode of the dragon prince, which is actually really really good So it's on Netflix. What's it about? It's a high fantasy drama the the vague gist of it It's so it's like slayers. So it's really a kind of but serial like 100% serious like game of thrones It's written by this or at least partially written by the same head writer as avatar the last airbender Which you also haven't seen and which is also fantastic like if I had to rate it on our old anime scale avatar is an A anime Minus at worst like it's up there with the a shows that we talk about this is Basically avatar to not set in that world like nothing to do with avatar Except that it has a lot of the lot of similar tropes similar writing similar characters But it's a high fantasy world where basically Elves and humans like all these different kinds of elves and humans and dragons all live in this fantasy world dwarfs No dwarfs bucket. That's fine though because there's multiple kinds of elves and they're super hot dragons So at some point there's like there's six kinds of magic in the world and there's this whole fantasy thing Okay, but then the humans discover the seventh kind of magic, which is basically evil bullshit Yeah, and they use it and they're like yeah, we got evil bullshit Yeah, and the elves are like oh fuck no get the fuck off our island and deal with an elves check out my evil bullshit They're all dead the end so the elves and the dragons just for well the elves at least force all the humans to the other side of The continent put a big wall between the two of them And the king of the dragons Giant badass fucking dragon president of the world are you nice dance the dragon basically just says I'll guard the wall between you two sides. You never fight again The humans use the dark sides king of dragons. Yeah, so the humans Go use the dark magic to kill the king of the dragon. Yeah And now war is about to begin And the show is it's a kid show like avatar But but avatar super good, and this is also super good It's I wanted to see the evil magic be all like evil and oh it is like bloodbath Avatar is a bloodbath. Do you how many people die in Africa? No, no, no like I like like, you know violence like you know Like berserk where it's like We'll see how close it goes to that because it's not like well like the Netflix Castlevania anime Well, there is more of that coming which I'm really looking forward to yeah The only problem with it like the character designs are great the voice acting is fantastic The story is pretty good so far the writing is good the only complaint and Emily pointed this out because I couldn't articulate that well is a lot of people were saying The frame rate is bad on the animation. Remember like walk wouldn't it be 30 FPS being it's not that is a show Is 30 FPS? It's that the characters look kind of jittery Like when they move like stuttery it almost looks like is it animated on like the fours or the sixes Who knows it almost looks like if you took a 24 frame a second cinematic and just put it on a modern television But only the characters not like the backgrounds or anything else It's not that it's just the way they rendered it and the it's the way that what Emily said because she knows way More about this than we do is what it appears to be happening is they wanted it to look hand-drawn instead of CG because it's CG and it looks pretty kind of like walk food It looked great when it was still but it looked a little weird when it moved so in this case She said that the characters don't at ease they never ease and I didn't I now I realized what that means You know when someone like strikes a pose and then they settle like a little bit like after they struck the pose that's easing and This show does not have that animation characters struck a pose and then they're static Hmm, but it stops being distracting after one episode and the show's so good that I'm just gonna watch it anyway Mm-hmm. I really like it. Okay, so did you watch anything else? So I watched an episode of Yellow guy. Yeah assassination classroom, which is an anime. I'd heard of many times I don't know how old it is. It has a lot more episodes than I thought I've never watched it and all I know about it All I know is that it's the yellow guy. It's the yellow guy, and it's one of those Anime premise there are rules shows. It's in the genre of there are rules Are you ready for the premise? All right This is not spoilers because it's all in episode one, which is the only episode I've seen you ready Here's the premise of a sash nascent classroom Everyone on earth looked up at the moon and holy shit like the moon exploded It's now permanently a crescent moon because a giant hole was blown in it It exploded because everyone looked up at it at the same time. No, you couldn't notice the moon not explode It was a giant explosion. The way you phrase that everyone looked up and the moon exploded So the moon exploded and everyone looked up. Anyway, the moon exploded, right? The government found out this explosion on the moon that destroyed it was caused by yellow guy. All right, right? Yellow guy Is ridiculously powerful. You don't really know his origins. He can travel at mach 20. So like qbay or what's his name from? The show where all the kids die. He's yellow. He has tentacles. He can change color. Who knows what other powers he has He's from the earth. He says he's not an alien And rokerano sure that guy. Yeah, he speaks english Even though his mouth doesn't move when he speaks english But he has a mouth It just smiles all the time and he basically has threatened the earth that he will destroy the earth After I think a year or some amount of time. I think something like a year. Yeah and The only way that he will not do to the earth what he did to the moon is if someone someone kills him Yes, he has to be killed. Okay. He has demanded that he be allowed to teach This class of students How to kill him Uh, and so he's teaching this class of students, which is like and it's that's like the delinquent class like class e All right. All right. So chroma already and they're in this school That is like, you know an abandoned school. So no one else is there really So these students it's perfectly normal, but low-grade students Have to go to this class in this school that's in the woods And he's their teacher and the yellow guy is their teacher. He teaches them perfectly normally Uh, he doesn't you know, he's perfectly good excellent teacher And but they're trying to kill him if they kill anyone who successfully kills him will not only save the earth But will be paid like a zillion bajillion dollars. All right by the government And the government has provided them with all manner of deadly weapons That are deadly only to yellow guy and not to them. So like they have guns that shoot these little balls And they try to shoot him and they like he's he's taking attendance And they're all blasting at him nonstop with assault rifles and uzzies and All right, like for the whole time he's taking attendance. He's moving around in mach 20 dodging everything And then they're like, you know, oh, we don't believe that you know Someone questions whether the bullets even actually work So the yellow guy shoots his own arm with one and his arm explodes Right, and he's like, no, they totally work. You guys just couldn't hit me. I was going mach 20 He goes he flies at mach 20 to get mabo tofu for lunch from china Yeah, I would do that if I could do that. I'm just saying So it has this comedic aspect, but also this scenario aspect And the thing is on the one hand, it's like I could watch all of this right and like, you know I guess you would learn the characters of the different students and other things and I I assumed there's this sort of conflict between He's a good teacher What's his deal? But we have to kill him to save the earth who knows what's going on because you see moments where he's evil too, right? Uh, but I feel like this is the kind of show where I just want to go right to the end and skip all the middle part And I just want to know the deal is just read a spoiler. I will Okay That's what I'm going to do because I don't want to much 47 episodes I mean or whatever it is That's how I dealt with my Desire to know what happens in the tack on titan while having zero interest in watching any more attack on titan Yeah, I feel like it could be fun But I feel like it's just it's like it's just a little bit too shallow and transparent to actually be worth my time No, so I should just go right to the end and be done with it I feel like go to watch this but but watching it's not bad I feel like I would watch this if I didn't have so many other great shows to watch right now Yeah, it's like I feel like it's just below the line of something It's like you could watch it and he'd be cool with that But it's just below the line where I need to watch it. I can just you know go see what the answer is So I also do they kill him? Do they not kill him? Does he destroy the earth? So I know I think I mentioned this a couple times But because it's wednesday I can sort of formally do it adventure times down, of course The ending it is now done. We can know instead of us saying oh, it's ending soon It is over like there will never be another Official television episode of adventure time on cartoon network You cannot know more about the canon of this cartoon than me Because I have seen there's gonna be literally every second of it There's gonna be a movie that does not impact the canon in any way and there are comic books which I own many of They're fantastic the comic books. Yes kind of like the pony comic books. Those are just like a plus comics Yep, but I own all those too I'll all all the adventure done comics I own a lot of them my gig bite of adventure time now that I know the fullness of it Is that it is one of the greatest cartoons ever made? I think it will definitely that was already true But it'll stay in the test of time And it ended Literally perfectly that ending is so Utterly perfect is my man choose goose in the final episode the voice actor of choose goose. I'm pretty sure is in the dragon prince Okay, there's a character Who comes I learned it because I told him this earlier. I learned today Today I learned this that the voice actor of choose goose the best character the best character in adventure time Is also the voice actor of a zillion other things including candlejack From freak is what you know, I'm gonna need more rope. If you don't know what candlejack is I'm gonna need more rope If you don't know what freak is what it is almost is that it was weirdly ahead of its time Yeah, you could put that out today and people would think it was made today If it was an hd do yourself a favor if you're not caught up on adventure time, don't just go watch the end because it Literally sort of needs you to have seen Every single episode of the show all the all the episodes that matter. There are some episodes that are purely I would say you need to have seen every episode of the show for it to really even the masaki was a weird food chain episode Yes, actually Specifically. Yes. Uh-huh. I ain't even shitting you bro It is even or even like that early episode where Where what's his name was the voice for the heart guy? Oh, rickardio. Yeah, uh, I think you would need to see that because it does set up some things about why bubblegum Does what she does It's You'll see even the episode with the horse on the ball All I'm gonna say is that remember that the lich said that he is the last scholar of golf The show ends perfectly and I cry every time I watch the ending ends with gallblum Uh, there's a gallblum gallblum is involved related to glob possibly possibly it's very Secret of spacey like though like it kind of frames everything nicely. That's my favorite part Yeah, give me that prismo boy, but it frames everything nicely and wraps things up appropriately for both the literal reality of the show And all of the themes that have occurred in the show over its run. Give me that prismo in that cosmic owl There's a the last time you see prismo Is an excellent moment. I would say that every character the last frame that they're on screen is a masterpiece by itself So, yeah, uh, the other thing that I'm watching right now is uh bojack season five It's continuing to be excellent. It's still some of the best like Animation for adults this out there and season five Is already better than a lot of the previous seasons and it hasn't even gotten to quote-unquote the good part yet And of course duck tails, which I also watch all of and is fantastic and you should watch it And I'm actually really looking forward to season two which apparently starts in March No, it was renewed in march this year And the second season will premiere in god late 2018. I gotta wait a while who got time for this There's only 23 episodes I found that once once I watched one I just had to watch them all because the show just every episode is better than the previous episode And the episode where it makes a crossover with the gummy bears is pretty good But not quite as good as the episode that crosses over Kind of with my little pony. Here's the news Care Bears is coming back Oh god, it looks pretty cute. Yeah, I'm not watching it. I'm uh I'm I'm conflicted on that because when I was All I'm saying is I'm not telling you to watch the new care Bears because I don't even know when it's coming out Or I don't care But do look there's like one promotional image floating around look at that image to see what the care Bears look like They look pretty good Well, there's we're in this weird golden age of like bringing this stuff back Yeah, because no one's got any new ideas Not people have plenty of new ideas bojaks new Hmm. I guess unless you saw californication So there is some actual news that isn't just us talking about shows we've watched recently Space Jam 2 is coming with Lebron. Oh, baby. I'm weirdly excited for this. Let's go theater I look forward to the slam and I I want to come to the jam See the thing is much I suspect that the original movie does not hold up at all But I have why not I just I get this feeling it's not gonna hold up. Oh, you don't think so I don't we should watch it. We've never reviewed it on geek nights See, I think the thing with space jam is that it was it was merely Okay to good to begin with but I think it is still holds up as okay to good. I don't think it is decreased I could see that. Um, I remember being okay to good thing is is that it loses its novelty See space jams coming back. They need to bring back the Quad City DJs aka 95 south With the Miami booty for the theme song Other right if they get someone else and right otherwise It's no goats like streets of rage is coming back the remaking that if they don't have music by the same person who made the music I forget his name Uh for this we saw him at magfest. Yeah, we did Who made the music for streets of rage one and two and three? Then what there's no point and even no matter how good the game is It's like no the music is what made it happen Right It'd be like if you made a Miyazaki movie and you didn't have some joe hisaishi music It's like just get out of my face with that I feel like if you made moru tena and didn't put that j like she's our music in it It's like initial d without eurobeat. It's worthless. Yeah, so literally worthless initial d if this space jam movie has Some Miami booty. We're good to go that we know exactly I'm I'm weirdly excited about this. I don't want to do what could the plot possibly be Come again, and they're like ha ha michael jordan. So we can beat you now. It's like no we made a lebron That is literally the plot I would have pitched Like that exactly with a cameo and everything that is the exact plot I would put in The only other problem is that I think that kids these days did not grow up with looney tunes as much as we did I'm sure they still know those characters, but not as much as we do I think what you should do is make it with other characters Perhaps cartoon network characters. I was you know what actually would work or anime characters If you could somehow pull together the thing it roger rabbit style Characters from a different bunch of different things because there were those new like mickey mouse characters. Well, that's really good Here's the problem though is that original space jam worked because the looney tunes characters are clearly not athletic Right other than bugs bunny who has natural skill at everything right like what's elder fun gonna do exactly, right? Uh, but the characters that kids are into these days It's like what fucking jake the dog jake the dog doesn't need lebron's help As long as he learns to play basketball, right? You're good to go Right, you know, it's like what are you gonna naruto naruto can jam? Don't need no lebron lord. Oh can probably beat lebron Lebron's gonna be on the bench if you got naruto on your team It's just gonna be a bunch of fortnite's and that's it like fortnite's and lebron I don't know if fortnite's is stronger or weaker than lebron gumball could work because those characters are not athletic The point is right lebron can't out basketball captain america I feel like this could be used instead Here's a counterpoint to catapult and bring back a big looney tunes era Go for it because looney tunes could work in the modern era those new mickey mouse cartoons like all that stuff We're really good. I think we need to you know Thing is if I was writing it right the way I write this shit is I'd be like, yo Breaking, you know, we all still don't need the lebron if I let code he just bombs the other teams and himself All right, I think that's 25 minutes of news Oh the chat is bumping Are we going to pump up and slam? Yep Okay But anyway things of the day So I have a thing of the day that's really good and interesting but depressing So I figured I'd save it. So instead this is just a dog feeding carrots to three rabbits and a pig I don't it is literally that this is not a Mustang hits bike bicyclist Did you see that it was a gif going around where there's three dogs and they try to give a treat to the dog in the middle And he pushes the treat to the dog on the left And then another treat comes in and he pushes the treat to the dog in the right and helps his friend Does because he's a good dog. I also the one the guy gives the treat to the first dog And then he gives the treat to the second dog But the first dog grabs it and runs away and the second dog just looks up like what the fuck There's also a good one going around I think I see multiples that follow this formula where they were first There were videos people did where they would play like the you know the treat in the three cup shell game Yep, and the pet would get it right and yep. Oh the one where the pet got it wrong No, they do it where they they have three cups, right? They put the treat under one of the cups They play the shell game the pet takes the the shell with the or the cup or the bowl with the treat in it It's one treat and then the owner opens up another bowl that was previously He'd just been I think I saw there's a white dog that looks like what and there was a ton of treats in that one And then right and that's that's a funny a lot of these they always There's this one song that was used in rick and morty and they cut to that song Usually when they make these memes like imagine if I play the shell game with ram But instead, you know, you don't start with all the shells open you only open the one shell And then you reveal the one it didn't pick is like I put like a dollar under it I shuffle them all around and then the other one had a gold bar. No, the other one's got like an unreleased advance wars Source code to advance So what do you got for me? So I don't know if I feel like I've done this this thing of the day before but For almost 20 years. We have loved the radis code The fact that I we never got a canonical Published conclusion. I think wasn't in the book that we didn't get couldn't get yeah, but we didn't we didn't get to see It animated. I mean I have a speculation So the creator of radiskull is the guy named joe sparks who has an elvis presley style haircut and still does Uh, and joe sparks after finishing radiskull and going to get jobs at places And I guess those jobs Prevented him from making more radiskull in some way. Well, there's a there's a whole complicated story There's a situation why he couldn't make more radiskull. Anyway, the point is is that uh, He disappeared to go work as an adult for years and years and years and only recently Maybe less than two years ago returned to youtube and has been producing content of various sorts In fact, he has a note on this video you link to uh, quote I am searching for those millions of radiskull and devil devil doll fans from 2001 That is us if you know one, please let them know about my youtube channel I'm here. Yeah, we Joe we got you back. We're we're like the og fans of radiskull. We are Uh, but anyway, the point is is I think I've Talked about his return to youtube before it may have been a previous thing. He's still only got like a thousand subscribers Yeah, this may have been a previous thing of the day You know his channel or some video on his channel But he just put out a new video on his channel and in this video What's going on is he was at one time an employee at leapfrog who I believe made Children's fake computers. Oh, yeah, that sounds right And I believe he was some sort of game developer software maker there making games for children's tiny computers For maybe at some portion of his life Uh in between making radiskull and now and while he was there that company had a talent show And he was in the talent show performing radiskull songs live It seems like he just told the entire story of all episodes of radiskull Uh and this is a video that was of that performance at that talent show that was rescued And he put it on youtube and is well worth watching because I have never seen a live performance of radiskull before and also Wow, he just makes the radiskull and double doll voices. Yeah that he can do that way more naturally They required no audio production. Uh, he is just a good voice actor I feel like the pro movie for netflix to pick up and reboot radiskull and devil doll also He changes kill to kiss because I think he's talking to children. He's performing in front of many children Yeah, well, I think it was I think it was bring your kid to work day Well, because one day at a company where they make children's toys toys. Yep. Well, also there's a uh So adventure time has a lot of moments where finn or jaker someone will say the words. I'll kill you And in the uk at least I don't think this is change. They won't let that be in a kid's shows. They usually remove it Kind of like how you can't spit on anyone That's why they cut out all the scenes in adventure time where someone spits on someone Well, it's why in the ninja turtles live action movie, which is excellent and still holds up The foot clan is like teenagers and bad people Yeah And in the teenager turtles cartoon that ran on tv for many years All of the foot soldiers are robots that explode the same as they are on the teenager ninja's arcade machine Yep, etc. There's there's a there is a joke about that in rick and morty that you would not appreciate So i'll just skip it because you haven't seen that show, but it it's relevant to your turtles Analog did they fight a bunch of guys that robots and then fight a real guy He bleeds the death and so they're fighting so they're fighting a bunch of guys and the kids like I don't want to hurt anyone And he's like shoot them. They're just robots. Yes. It's killing. They're just robots So they're shooting them. They're not they're clearly not robots And he's like they're not robots. Oh my god, and then rick is just like Uh, yeah, but I mean they're like robots. I just I don't respect them Before we start the show, I just want to say It's hot today Oh, it is I even watched the fake hockey preseason. No, it was a pretty good game because it went into ot I'm sure he was but no, it's and the ot was pretty good fake It doesn't matter Give me that real hot But very briefly in the meta moment if you are here because you saw us at packs If you go to our website, there is video of the panel We gave not from packs west, but when we did it at packs east because guess what we did the same panel twice And the entire list is available in that youtube video Also, the booklet book is still Homer's odyssey apparently because god has updated the website 2001 space odyssey We're just going to do all odysseys. We should call it the odyssey club And you may know that Over a year ago. I started a civilization 5 multiplayer game with the patreon patrons of geek nights Like people who are in the patreon at the chance to join this game. It was all humans We played this giant ass civilization 5 game The game actually just finished Like the game is done. We've been playing sieve 5 by mail for a long goddamn time The game is over and I am now uploading the series of videos showing the progression of the game in the world over time So you can watch all that on youtube I just uploaded a video where uh, I titled it the raising of susa because if you couldn't guess I burned fucking susa to the ground. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, craig oliver Rule one of multiplayer sieve Building the great library sends a message to everyone around you and that message is I have built this instead of building an army That's right. I built this for you Please please accept my gift of one great library Do you have spearmen and catapults? Well, there is a party here and you're all invited All right So we've actually talked about a bunch of masaki uasa movies in recent memory because masaki us is really productive So much output. Yeah, and really good. And if I had to describe masaki uasa In terms of like the kinds of works I expect Off the wall kind of weird little spacey like that's kind of the way where I'd put it And knight is short walk on girl does not disappoint So, yeah, so hold on trying to bring something up Which is an interesting thing that I learned only at the end of this movie When after the credits masaki uasa comes out to speak. Oh, yeah. Yeah. All right. So this is what I learned Right. So there is a person whose name is tomehiko morimi and tomehiko morimi Uh is an author All right, and they are the author of Uh eccentric family eccentric family to tome galaxy knight is short walk on girl something called penguin highway. That's probably amazing Adventures of a saintly slacker, which sounds amazing and 2016 something called night train, which sounds amazing Basically everything that they've written sounds amazing and the things the old I've my only experience of their work their novels are the anime adaptations, right? So eccentric family was not animated by masaki uasa, but to tome galaxy and Uh knight is short walk on girl were both written by the same author the original novels and animated by the same people And there seems to be a trend at least these things are linked in subtle ways in the anime adaptations Right. So ram see after seeing though that thing after the credits I said, well, I feel like I'm not gonna be able to do a show on this This knight is short walk on girl unless I've seen at least some to tome galaxy So at home I've seen now two episodes of tome galaxy and I do plan to watch it all Into tome galaxy within the first minute. I see that tango chin guy Literally that character is just right there at the start right the main two characters of knight is short walk on girl Are crook slightly so but are also the main two characters of to time a galaxy the Minor character in knight is short walk on girl the demon in the in the the book The used book god Yes, a crooked a little bit more than slightly Version of that character is a very main character of the tome galaxy Uh, the art style is basically identical. The mood is very similar. The plot is Not so similar. Yeah, they're not they're not redundant. Just you know, you think oh That was all these same characters the same thing. No, it's not the same thing at all They're two separate works. They're originally two separate novels, right? Is just that because the same animation team was adapting two works from the same author that are have some similarities They, you know, kept some character designs and some moods and some things But from two episodes, I can already tell that the tome galaxy is fantastic But we're not renew it. We're really to time a galaxy. I'm just letting you know that uh, I feel like It's hard to fully review one of these things without knowing about the other because there's so much Right togetherness going on here, but at the same time I cannot stress enough walk on short walk the knight is short walk on girl Is 100 watchable in a vacuum Yes, either one of these things stands alone if you were to watch them independently, but to fully grok either one I think you need to experience both So I would actually recommend uh, just go see this movie It does. I don't think it matters which one you see first No, I mean just you like stop listening to gignas right now and just go see that would be a great use of your time Because this movie is One of the better anime movies I've seen in a long time. I went into it knowing literally nothing about it Except who directed it. Yeah, I think it's even better than The other you also when we saw what the I think so the vampire dog But that might be because the vamp was the vampire one dog lew over the wall Yeah, lew over the wall I think it's better than lew over the wall Maybe that's just because lew over the wall is more of a children's movie Yep, so and I'm an adult if this is not a children's movie it begins with people getting blasted Yep, uh, and it it's hard to describe what this movie is about Without either really spoiling it or getting really really Sort of philosophical because it is very philosophical the plot is Expansive in scope and covers Probably 500 percent more ground than you expect it to right. Well, basically the way to summarize it best is that this is girl and It's one night in her life that we're experiencing. Yep. She's on the cusp of becoming an adult or friends getting married The night begins at this wedding that she's attending Uh And she goes on after the wedding other people, you know, she goes out to drink and starts partying And the the night becomes this big adventure, right? But in that like time-dilated way that nights like that when you're young feel like they last a lifetime, right? So in this night, there are four seasons, right? And I think he said the book was divided into four seasons Uh, and they sort of compressed the four seasons into one night in the movie I haven't read the book. Obviously it's Japanese. I don't think it's translated And I think it might be be getting translated though I think I did read something somewhere that they're working on publishing these novels in english Yeah, I would read them. Uh, but the four seasons right it sort of starts in I think it's it's starting. Yeah, it starts in spring because it ends in winter, right? So that's you know that that wedding part and that the parties soon after that are the spring Then there's the summer part and think you everything gets hot, right? There's an ice kotatsu because they're all melting Right, they go to the the night book fair like, you know, the cicadas. It's clearly right the hot times Then there's then this fall and there starts to be stuff happening at the school and people are getting cold But I guess and then at the end it's winter and everyone's sick Right, uh, and that's sort of the flow of this this one epic long adventurous night that goes through these four seasons Uh, and it's crazy stuff And if I really had to try to explain what it's about on a high level like it's It's that feeling when you're young and you haven't really decided what you want to do yet in your life and you're sort of you're just entering the adult world and you're starting to do the things that adults do and Everything feels very important very minor things feel like they're the most important things in the world And it follows someone through like Experiencing a night like that like those nights we used to have when we were young like at our it wanting around at night fighting with sticks and whatever Yep, but it also very surreal But it simultaneously has this long-running theme about how the exact same night Is very different even for the people who had the exact same experience Based on their state of mind and how they feel about the situation Like multiple people have the same experience and they all see it completely differently because of the state of their own heart and mind And you see this illustrated in so many different ways it'd be hard to catalog them like The clocks literally are moving faster for the old people than for the young people Yep things like that like the school festival, which I can only describe as kill la kill Like that festival like bunker where they're running it It evokes how it felt To be running the rit anime club back when I was in college Compared to now as an adult the reality of what running the rit anime club was really like right it's a bit Not you know the main character is the the girl right who has we keep saying the girl like she has no name It's just the girl. It's literally the girl. There's the girl the guy there The characters the other characters some of them have names right so she's just walking on She's just going from moment to moment the world sort of passing her by and she's interacting with things for the hell of it These other characters though all have threads right and it's like everyone's thread gets resolved at some point Usually tied up with some other character and she's sort of almost a catalyst like as she's passing through the world All everyone else's stories keep merging with hers and then splitting off again and then merging with each other Yeah, it's like this there's a character who's like in the beginning right and like the very opening scene The the guy who doesn't change his underwear And then he katsu and then he goes away You don't see him for a while and then later on he comes back and he's real important Yeah, right The only other character besides girl who is sort of there the whole time is guy Who is sort of in love with her from afar and keeps chasing her and keeps getting caught in the wake of her adventures But not really catching up to her and it you know coincidentally he feels a little bit like a scojo Person like in terms of the way scojo doesn't mean anything to anyone who's listening a friend of ours I guess a lot of the characters in this Evoke not the details of the lives of our own friends But the feeling about those people when they were similarly young and having these experiences Like being young and running the anime club and being young and pining after a girl that you know Like it's it's all those feelings and encapsulates what it felt like to be 19 and full of Fim and vinegar and gin right also There is a lot of alcohol flowing This entire hemming way and the girl's superpowers that she can drink an infinite amount of alcohol There's a very important drinking contest and she just keeps going. Yep There's a lot of eating and a lot of food. There's a scene where all the hot nabe that is the hot nabe Which is literally like a lava nabe You know this and you know at the same time that you've got sort of this You know serious philosophical thing and these character threads. It is wacky and cougar bananas Right in terms of like that, you know in a misaki yuasa way and it just keeps going It just keeps moving like it never pauses the only like the misaki yuasa episodes of uh adventure time Adventure time or what was the space dandy? Yeah, it's it's wacky like those very often they're like There's so we could if we did a final thoughts episode where we talked about the details of this movie it could go on for hours But what the other thing it does that reminds me there's an there's a movie a live action movie called punch drunk love That actually does the same thing at least for a portion of its run It never pauses like it never gives you a break It never like pauses to reset or like to establish it just keeps going and going and going and going as fast as possible Covering so much more ground than you possibly expect And then it ends the pace of this is really really fast and at at the start of the movie it accelerated so fast I felt like I wasn't really cat I felt like I was missing something right, but no I wasn't missing anything It's just it was going fast and only giving me the minimum of what I needed to know And then later on you know things filled in things came around a second time a third time And I realized no I didn't miss anything. They're just you they're just pushed it to the limit in terms of Information they can give you right so that you can catch it all and comprehend everything But they can cram it all into the time they have in this movie before it's over I think my favorite moments without spoiling are like number one is actually early on when All the different drinking parties sort of converge with each other Well, I mean just when he they learn the dance from the young people and then and then the old people Fucking sofas they go they end up at the sofas club where these kids are doing this weird They seem to be in a cult and they do the sofas dance Then they go to some old people and they do the dance and the old people are like Oh, it's the sofas dance. We used to be in the sofas club. We started the sofas. It's exactly that situation that really happens Like when scott and I and a bunch of us ran into the current generation of like the rit anime club And they're like, yeah, we run the rit anime club. We're like son Let's talk about the rit anime club. We ran that shit. Hi everybody now. We're old It's this movie is phenomenal and I I am hesitant to use that word about movies Usually, but I would call this movie utterly phenomenal It is a must-see anime movie Like if you haven't yet watched other shows that we've said are good that you should watch or other movies that you should watch Just watch this one first before you watch anything else I want to watch. I would watch it again right now if I wasn't so hungry I know Let's stop there. I think that's good
