 Crispy clear, crispy. Metronome. Crispy. Metronome. Those are gnomes that are in the city. They take the metro, so they're the metronome. What do you think about our new audio setup? I've already gotten messages from people that like it. That said, there's no hiss. Trust me, I'm happier than all of you. Hey, welcome back to our stupid direction. It's up Corbin. I'm Rick. And you can follow us on Instagram and Twitter. Hit the like, hit it. Button. Hit it to be part of the juicy notification squad. Today. What's happening, Corbin Mouse? We got a Malayalam teaser. I'm ready to be teased by the Malayalis. And I don't want to look this one up, because I think it's like almost, I think somebody said like sci-fi. Which would be wonderful. Love good sci-fi. Now let's see here. And we have spoken about how both sci-fi and horror tend to be the least represented in the cinema world of India. Yeah, Malayalam. Comparatively. You know, pushing the boundaries is a, I don't know where to look. You know, I always look for IMDb, but obviously everybody says don't use IMDb, but we don't use Wikipedia here for Jack Squad. No. Because you can kind of use your own information there. Yeah. And so it's not. The majority of the time IMDb is accurate because IMDb is input by people who are in the industry. I think somebody said fantasy sci-fi. Well, that is a reputable source for sci-fi. Yeah. Yeah. Fantasy sci-fi. So that'd be cool. Here we go. That is online. It's called, this is what it's called, sorry. Mahavirad. Can you add on some of our reactions that deep resonant bass that's in the voices for all the like South Indian trailers? Yeah, I can actually. That's awesome. We should do that. We'll see. Here we go. Love the visuals. Love the music. Love his hair. Dick is magnificent. Nice shot. Look so much Game of Thrones-esque. Oh, look, a lot of these shots. This person. Are you ready? Yes. That was like Game of Thrones meets Pink. Yeah. What the crap? Also, whoever did the audio for that superb. Incredible. That was like just in the teaser alone. It was like IMAX level sound. It was wonderful. I felt like the horses were in here. Yeah, the sound was some of the best sound I've ever heard in a teaser or a trailer. That was wonderful. And obviously it's Malayalam so they didn't really, if this is like an old mythology kind of story that everybody knows, obviously I don't know it at all. But it looks intriguing. Like the visuals look like almost Game of Thrones style. Yeah. Big fantasy world. Everybody's, you know, knifing each other, which I love. I thought it looked great. I did too. I'm looking forward to the actual- And very strange, this interesting interweaving of this epic fantasy thing and a trial which goes when you consider the fact that it was one of the trials where a big party in Game of Thrones was the trial. And fantasy, man, that's what Game of Thrones messed up. They obviously went full-fledged on just trying to do action. They forgot everything about the story. Yeah, because they went faster than the books. And you shouldn't do that when you're taking stuff from a book. You should wait for the books to be written. I know it's easier said than done. Fucking idiots in high definition audio. Easier said than done. I'll never forgive them. The telltale sign that things were quirky, wacky, out of sync, they just, you know what it was? The writing. Well, but the telltale sign, the thing that like was the quintessential obvious they should have, I guess they didn't realize it till after the fact, but was Khaleesi Starbucks cup. I mean, when you're not paying attention to that kind of detail. You're not caring at that point. And there's that many people on set, cast and crew and no one can pick up the fact that there's a Starbucks cup on set. You're phoning it in. But yeah, so that's the vibes it was giving me. And once again, from Malayalam, which usually doesn't put obviously outside of if it's like a Mamoudi film or a Mohanlal film, don't have these big massive budgets. They usually small. But if they can obviously care as much as they normally care with their normal films about just the story and the acting, that's, in my opinion, what fantasy has always been about. Absolutely, it's always about story. It's not really about the big action. The old Star Wars films, obviously the new ones have a lot more action than the old ones did. And they had some action, but it was really about the story that was going on. Stories and characters, that's it. And so if they can kind of keep to that. And Minnal Manari was a great example of pull at your money where you need it. And when you don't need it, stay small and there's a lot of rigging and things you can do to use a visual effect that you don't have to spend the money on CGI if you do it right. That movie is a really great lesson on how to do visual effects and get the biggest bang for your buck. Yeah, absolutely. And Malayalam, as you guys know, we adore Malayalam cinema because we think that's, they prioritize what you should prioritize. I mean, you don't always have to obviously some films don't require that, but it seems like that's important to them, acting and story or... Story is, and that's, I mean, a great example. Even if it's a big bombastic entertainer, what makes RRR that much better is it's got a really solid story. And that's what... And all the other fun stuff. Yeah, all the other fun stuff on top of it. But it's, at its core movies are storytelling, so if you got good story and I love as usual, they didn't give us much. And it was just a teaser. So I don't even know if it said when the release date was... I didn't see it. I was too... Fantasy unfolds soon. I was too wrapped up in the beauty of that sound and... And the cinematography. Yeah, it looks great. All the acting grounded, which is not a surprise for Malayalam cinema. Whole production should be proud of that teaser. That's a good teaser. So I'm hoping we will get a trailer. I don't know, maybe since it's like a big fantasy, they're probably still working on stuff and all that kind of stuff. But yeah, I'm looking forward to it now. It's exciting. That's coming out. Let us know what we need to know without spoiling anything. Yes, thank you. If you do know anything about this film. Yes, thank you. And let us know what the next Malayalam film should be. Dan Belieu.
