The Seemingly Never-Ending Story (S17E13)

And that's why I didn't have time to study from my geography test. Mart,
do you expect me to believe that that story is the biggest load of
crabapple making out with mol But I thought you didn't want a data tabynonna at
this point, all I wants a man with a healthy lorbido. Uh huh,
Well this is where it gets awkward again. Yeah, Ma, can't
catch your break one two, three four Can't catch a break? One two,
three four Can't catch a break one two, three four four Finger Discount,
Dude, Welcome to four Finger Discount, the podcast where we what do
we do? Mister Davis? We have an obsessive compulsitor disword on three four.
This week we hit the review episode h b F zero six. It
is the seeming never ending story. I am Dando joined right now by of
course, I am guy fresh from the pay chalet. Yes, as befits
the sort of all over the shop nature of this episode. That intro was
indeed all over the place, because we're just winging this one man. So
I had good memories of this episode. I remember really enjoying it. I
don't watched it several years ago, and I didn't mind it it's a fun
story. It just throws all logic out the window. So you can get
past the logic being thrown out the window. It's enjoyable. But I'm watching
when you're critique in this episode, I'm like, there are a lot of
questions being asked of me right now to ignore. Well, yeah, I
mean, I don't know. I personally think with season seventeen so far,
maybe with season sixteen as well, it's time to just throw continuity and all
that stuff out of the window. You know, I mean, stuff happens
in Springfield, it happens to the Simpsons family, happens with the people of
Springfield, and you really just got to roll with it. I think there
are certain fundamentals that will stay in place. But otherwise it's a good episode.
This in terms of it's about, you know, memory and subjective memory.
I mean, you're going to remember something different the way someone else remembered
it, So yeah, it kind of makes sense in that regard. But
you're right, it is a little higgalipigedly, but thought I had a lot
of fun with it coming. Yeah. I'm a sucker for stories within stories
within stories. You know, it's like, um, and this one did
it kind of well as far as I'm concerned, we live in the age
of origin stories, right Andy, the ones they gave us here. Whilst
illogical, we're a lot of fun. I loved and also depressing. I
love seeing young Edna arriving, missus k you know, bright eye, bushy
tailed, ready to take on the world, and then just and the same
with Snake and Springfield, just wearing them down and just turning them into the
into just broken people where Snake now becomes a criminal and missus kay is just
you know broken notes she she has to Springfield, she hates the bars and
the taverns and like kind of thing because of her ex husband. That's now
where she lives, you know what I mean. So I was depressing in
that aspect, but I did like the seeing a young missus Kaye just full
of life and ready to go. But it just made me sad at the
same time. Now, I want to talk about Indica for a moment,
particularly in relation to this episode. The voice seems different. Maybe she's just
trying to act younger. I guess, yeah, I mean it was Marshall
Wallace, but I guess you're just trying to put a younger spin on it.
But the thing is, though, can you tell your point and I'll
get onto my point what you're going to say about missus Ka the voice.
I mean, it didn't even seem younger. It just seemed like someone's doing
a not bad Marshal Wallace impersonation. I'm sure, mothers. Let's check.
Yes, it says he Maurice Maurice LaMarche. He's the voice. I didn't
realize he was on this instance. Yeah, he voices commanded mc bragg when
they're doing the Scavenger hunt and they're starting the Scamenger Hunt. But yeah,
it doesn't say Marshall Wallace. Then she usually is listed there, but I'm
assuming it would have been Marshall Wallace. But maybe it wasn't. I'm not
too sure, listeners, let me know what you think, because yeah,
I was like, it sounds like someone doing a good impersonation of eddicate or
doing their best indicate. Now, yes, said middlely. It is a
different sort of uh time period, and she's meant to be sort of younger
and more innocent, but she didn't feel younger and more isn't it just felt
like different despite appearances the country. I'm not complaining, but it was.
It was just something that I noticed so um anyway, but I'm sort of
leaping into favorite bits because the whole um, the whole Mo and Edna romance
such as summer romance, Yeah, summer love it. It happened so fast.
I just was really sweet and but also very I mean, maybe not
true to Edna so much as the way we know her now, but they
actually felt like kindred spirits and Mo felt like, you know, he wasn't
trying to be even though he was lying. Whole the whole thing was based
on lies, though it was, but it felt like it felt like genuine
Mo, even though he was lying because she wasn't loving a real person though
no true, it felt like the best version of more. Yeah. Yeah,
yeah, It's like this is this is what he could have been or
even to a better person. But the second he doesn't get his own way,
I was like Kendle in succession, you, I think you've watched the
show, But the second that guy doesn't get his own way, it's becomes
a perpetiant little baby. That's exactly what happens to the mode here. I've
got um, yeah, I've got to catch up with a succession. I
think I've watched maybe like half of the first season, Okay, And it's
not like I didn't like it or anything like that. It's just like,
all this is one of those things that I'll leave you feeling empty. The
finale ad this week, and Nicola and I just little at each other afterwards
and went, oh, that just happened. From what I understand, it
is pretty sort of bleak. Yeah, I won't spoil anything obviously. No,
Yeah, they're kind of spoiled from myself already. I mean, I
didn't It didn't strike me as the kind of show that was like, and
here's a twist at the end. It was more that's the thing the entire
time, We're going, what's a twist going to be? Because we're so
used to shows having twists. Now, Yeah, there never really was a
twist, And if there was a twist, you could see it coming two
episodes in advance. He saw it was a twist in there. Well,
but the way the show was plant was mac down you could see it coming,
you know. All Right, Well that's best ssion. That's enough about
That's enough about that show. Let's keep talking about this show. Although we
might do a succession pod If Everyone Wants to LEAs One actually won the Primetime
Emmy Award for Outstanding achieve It in the Field of Excellence, as well as
the Outstanding Program oh My God Outstanding Animated Program for Programming less than one Hour
At the thirty fourth and the Awards. Episode and episode writer Ian Maxtone Graham
won the award for Best Writing in an Animated Television Production. So people will
big fans of this episode where it originally aired. As you were saying,
it's a lot of fun throws, lots you get the window, but sometimes
you just gotta do that when you want to have some fun, switch your
brain off and just you know, some of the best action movies that I
love ones were just gonna switch your brain off and just enjoy what you're watching.
But I did want to bring up you shared a video this week on
social media that is very relatable to when I say modern Simpsons, I mean
season seventeen Simpsons and beyond right, And it was Tray and Matt from South
Park talking about therefore and but yes right instead of and then. So how
often do we review these episodes and it feels like, as you always say,
a bunch of stuff and stuff that happened. This is happening, and
then this is happening, and then this is happening, and then the ending
ends, and there isn't really an ending, right, Yeah, but our
boys try and Matt in this video and it only goes for three minutes.
I'm assuming you know. They gave a longer lecture to the film students at
New York University. It blows your mind, but honestly, they just distill
it down to just three minutes. And Trey himself says, look, it
took me ages to learn this, but once you get it, it's like,
oh, okay, yeah, this makes sense, and this is how
you tell stories. And the upshot of it is if you have an incident,
then you have to ask the question or the next step is, Okay,
this happened, therefore this happens, or this happens, but that happened,
and it's like that's how you tell a story. That's how it moves
forward, as opposed to oh, this happened, and then this happened,
and then this happens. No, this happen, therefore this happens. All
this happens, but that happened because I sent to Nicola that the perfect example
is like season seventeen seems it happens earlier as well. But it's like,
you know, you get to the end of the first act, how often
it has happened this in particular, in particular this season, Right, we
get to the end of the first act and it's like, oh, so
this is the story for the episode. The first five six minutes, we're
inconsequential to the actual stories, Like you could have cut that all out,
like to say, for example, when you know when Bart gets center,
when we're on the road to Doughware and Bart's getting sent away to the camp,
right, you know that they didn't like Bart doing something naughtiest. So
for the entire first act it was like Bart being naughtiost like, do we
have to have all this again? Like this this happens, and then this
happens, and then this happens. And as you're saying, Trey and Matt,
this happens. But the studd that happened in the second act can't happen
unless the stuff that happened in the first act happened. Has it all flows
us to flow on effect, and I just it blew my moment. I
watched as I was like, no, wonder, South Park is so fucking
good. Indeed, having said that, you know, something else we talk
about when we talk about recent episode the Simpsons is that sometimes they can feel
like this idea isn't good enough for a whole episode, but neither this one.
So let's jam them together and maybe they'll, you know, they'll make
it up an entire episode. And often it was like, this is like
Frankenstein's Monster, It's Ugly's gonna kill me. It's three different stories that you
feel I could have been an episode, but that has crammed him into this.
Yeah, yeah, here the Scavenger Hunt episode, I don't know.
I don't think it'd be a whole episode. Maybe it could have the summer
romance between Mo and Edna, I don't know. But distilling them I love
good Scavenger Hunt, it's pretty good. But distilling them down to just their
their essence, the best parts of them, and then having them as chapters
or installments or bits and pieces of a bigger episode. I think it works
really well in this case because they realize, yeah, we can't stretch it
out, so let's shrink it down, concentrate it, you know, make
a nice red One's juice to put on. Yes, yes, this is
this episode is a lot of fun, illogical but fun. Much like four
Figured Discat, much like My life. Yes, hey, my favorite.
What were your favorite moments from the episode, mister Davis, Well, really
it was primarily the romance between between Mo and and I just I don't know,
I like, like, I liked the whole feel of it, just
that visually, I thought it was fantastic. Um, you've written down here,
nice ascot on. You know, the way he's dressed up. Ye,
But she's bringing out the best in him. Yeah, and he's not
the real him, but she's she's if you are, like, if she
hadn't gone into that school, Mo would have become a better person. Yeah,
And it feels like a nice sliding doors moment for Form who was a
character I do like. So I think that was probably my favorite part of
the entire episode. I mean, also just the way Moho expressed himself when
he's talking about no same gen the rack of an angel. I knew you're
gonna like that line. I'm like, I will like this. I've got
that I will love that. But the thing is, though it sounds mislogynistic,
but like, that's the nicest. That's the nicest thing I can say,
Like, that's that's that's Mora being the best version of Moe. You
know, it's as nice as he can be. I love the fact I
didn't know I didn't know where it came from. I've used it numerous times.
The Moe throwing Barney out of the bar meme came from this episode.
Yeah. I was like, oh man, that's been used so many times.
It's like the perfect visual for a meme when you want to say you're
trying to get rid of something and it keeps coming back. It's perfect,
and it was in this episode. But I also got a big kick out
of the mirror bate and switch where he shot Burns in their head because when
he first shot him, I was about to that typing gif fuck as if
this oh you got me, you got me. I thought it was going
to be one of those usual you know, Burns is can survive anything,
you know, when when he slaps him in the back of the hand,
goes through the chest and shit like that, which which really annoys me.
But he shot him in the head. I was like, Okay, he
shot him in the head. There's no way he's surviving. Oh it's just
a mirror. Well playing, well player, you got me? We'll played
Simpsons. Yes, all right, mister Davis, it's time for something trivia.
What's your first question for the seemingly never ending story? Start with your
sexiest one? Oh gosh, okay, in the graveyard? Can you name
the sexy? Three? What's that that's sexy? That's sexy? Can you
name three? Or Burns as relatives? I didn't write those down? What
are they? Can you tell me? I'll give you all five? There
is that I saw anyway. Agatha Cotton, Rutherford Stewart, and Mildred all
have tombstones in the in the graveyard and they're all Burns. Is they are
all Burns? As ye? I wasn't sure they're going to go for a
gag or like him being related to Hitler or something like that. My first
question is actually related to to tombstones. Whose tombston did mister Burns have in
the back of his car as part of the scavenger hunt. He was driving
with Smithers and there was a tombstone in the back. Oh man, it's
a character that they love having callbacks too. And every time it always works
because everyone just has this love for the character. One time only character one
time was moving. No, no, no, it's Frank Grunt, Frank
Grimes Grimmy, that's right. Yeah. I don't know why how I made
that connections like it was bleeding us with it. No, no, it
was the complete opposite of skinny little light Man. What year was Carl's cave
discovered by Carl's dad? Oh, I had I was gonna write that only
fifty six. I think it wasn't nineteen fifty six. Speaking of can remember
we did that episode where it was Carl's from Iceland? I'm so was he
from Iceland? I don't know. That just really did a number on you,
didn't it You would just spend I was not happy. I was so
sad that day. My next question is either the power plant is on this
or is where mister Burns lives? What is the address? Lisa says,
I'm off to well, no, mister Burns says, I'm off to this
way. When he realizes that he's got the photo, it's one hundred industrial
way. It was indeed, Yet, Okay, we need more because I've
got one more for I hit me one more and I hit you of one
more as well. Ye okay, where was mister Burns born? Where Pangaea
Pangaea? Mhmm. I was interested to know what his email might be.
What do you make mister Burns's email would be? I feel like it's something
that Smithers would have made it for him. Mister Burns wouldn't have made it.
So would you just get the simple light you know, see Montgomery at
hotmail dot com Or do you think he would have made it something because mister
Burns wouldn't check his emails ever, would he? Missus Smith would be doing
turned me on Burns brilliant boss or something like that, you know, yeah?
Um, And my final question will be what have we got? I
actually had the nine fifty six is one of my questions and even realized,
so I'm gonna make one up on the spot here mob was head into the
supply store to get what um urinal cake mix? Yeah, that was another
line. I really liked a lot of mosingers in this episode. Yeah,
this is a good performance from one from Hank for sure. The fourth Figure

was March twelve to two thousand and six numbers. So, David, I'm
not doing the Blockbuster Brainbuster anymore. It just takes up too much of our
time. But I will tell you it hurt my brain. Well, I
will tell you what the top three films at the box office were when this
episode originally aired for that week they were Failure to Launch was number one,
The Shaggy Dog was number two, and The Hills Have Eyes was number three,
Hills Have Eyes. That was a movie that I haven't watched since I
watched the first time, but I remember it's scaring the shit out of me.
It's really nasty. Yeah, we've talked about the first two. We
talked about, Yeah, Yeah, Failure to Launch with McConaughey and Sarah Jessica
Parker and The Shaggy Dog with Tim Allen, and yeah, but the Hills
Have Eyes. That's a remake of a seventies movie by the late great Wes
Craven who made the Screen Movies, in which a family is traveling through the
deserts on their way to California. Except what's living in the desert but a
bunch of a freaky family made into hostile mutants by radioactivity and all that kind
of business, and they're out to kill and dare I say eat this all
American family that then has to fight back. It's this This remake is really
actually really good. Often with horror, not necessarily slasher horror, but like
other versions of horror, but this kind of thing, the remakes are usually
pretty good because that the special effects are usually better. Absolutely, Yeah,
I mean, got a really good cast and a fantastic director named then when
want to do another remake um Pirana three D, which is one of my
favorite horror movies of the twenty teens. It's so gross. Yeah, it's
so much fun, speaking of the logical but fun three D. Oh,
so much fun. But yeah, he'll have eyes. Um. Look,
if you've got a strong stomach and a strong constitution. Yeah, but when
just check it out if you dig horror movies, know a similar kind of
movie that I loved when it first came out. I haven't watched it for
so long, I have to revisit it. Wrong Turn. Remember Wrong Turn?
I remember being so so called off Garba. How much I enjoyed that
movie Wrong Turn? Yeah. Yeah, and they made like five or six
of them. Yeah, but the first one is the one that matters.
That's the one I remember. I remember the chick with the red hair getting
the barbed wire like through the mouth at the start, on the side of
the road. I remember that that death. But like you, I love
the good. Just like Mutant, he'll be really kind of like just coming
and killed things. I just love that kind of story. Yeah, it's
it's always fun. And I loved Wrong Turn. I thought it was awesome.
Yeah, I know slight of the sequels a little bit, but honestly
wrong Turn two Cold Dead End is that by the way, it's it's really
good. It's got a lot, it's got some great kills. Um yeah,
and you know, interesting characters now it works really well. The rest
of them are kind of kind of junk. That's the thing. You sort
of watch those movies just for the creative ways to kill people, and that's
what's sort of like John Wick's become, hasn't it. How's he going to
kill these people? I remember there's the one with the pen the pencil and
like John Wick three, and I was like, this movie has just become
fucking John Wick kill port. I watched Wick four any good the other night.
It really loves a lot of it. It goes for nearly three hours
and not a lot happens in it. You know. It's but at the
same time, yeah, look I didn't I didn't dislike it. I was
talking about it with my good friend Anthony, who's a real you know actution
movie efficionado were sort of saying, yeah, look it's great. I mean,
it's beautifully made, and you know, the locations are fantastic. Ken
Is really good. It's gotta all star cast of action heroes. But you
know, when you look at it's like there's maybe six scenes or six things
that happened in this movie, and that for a movie that goes three hours,
kind of like Kevin Goes capping the watch. Yeah, I'm terrible at
keeping promises. And you know, I really shouldn't say, hey, I'll
do movie gays on this because I maybe never will, but maybe I should.
So are you're going to see me? Do it? Pad Spider Verse
two whatever it's called. What's what's the actual tier called? It's across the
Spider Verse. Yeah, I'm let's wrap this up because I got a good
malm when he go see it. Yes, yes, we want a movie,
guys, A little while, guy, a little review on that one.
For sure, make that happen. Let's have all the things you gotta
do. That's the one you're gonna make happen. And by the way,
sub number four just quickly was sixteen blocks your man, Bruce Willis, wasn't
it. Oh yeah, the movie as well. I remember enjoying that as
well. That's a solid one. That's like the unofficial die Hard sequal before
the crap I had set so that was number four when this at the box
office when this episode originally aired. But the episode was written by E.
M. Stone Graham. As we said earlier, he won the Emmy,
and it was directed by Raymond s Percy and Maurice LaMarsh as Commander mcbragg.
There wasn't no chalk graun at the catch gag. What's that you're laughing about?
Something? That's what are you laughing about? About? The lovely Day?
My name was Raymond Percy, like something Homer would say when he wants
to get mister Burns Martin Prince. Isn't your name Raymond Percy Percy? Make
sure he's still with us, so we're not hanging shit on a dead person.
Also, there'll be a picture of him. He's going to be built
like John Center or so he's um. So he's written some awesome episodes of
the Simpsons, so he wrote um. He wrote twenty four Minutes, which
is an episode that I absolutely love. It's the twenty four parody, so
um was it directed? And he was a director of an episode. He's
also a director of Mobile Hume, which didn't really enjoy. But the girl
was slept too little when at least sleeps in the Semishode was a good one
as well, plus some others coming up in the in the new future.
But yes, so having a shit on Raymond to you, everybody loves when
these directorial skills just just his poncy name, standing up for yourself, point
dexter. All right, And there was no chalk gag, but the couch
gag was it's got here the couch with Marge, Maggie, Barton, Lisa
on It is delivered to the living room via conveyor belt and stops in front
of the TV. Homer is added on by a mechanical arm and the couch
continues onward. All right. So the episode kicks off with the family entering
Carl's dad's caverns, but realize that they're on a nature walk. And I
did not like this at all, where Lisa gives him a nickel in the
bottle to keep me entertained. I'm like, bart is not this stupid.
I don't like this just felt silly to me. I was not a fan
of that. But they find the finger of Testini. I think that's what
they call it, the guide of pointing down. There was a few question
a few questionable lines in this episode, such as silly Indians, well product
of this thing where it's like, no, no, you're not meant to
be thinking we're making fun of Indians. We're making fun of Homer for making
fun of Indians because he's a bigot. It's like, I don't know,
girl, it sounds like you want to have it both ways. He fell
asleep on the job. He says that his guy made their god. Then
Homer takes a little tiny chip to put in his desk at work and he
creates his giant syncol They all fall down and he has to be saved by
how do he has it? I think he says tasting the genius? He
says something different, doesn't he I'm going to disrespect our American friends here because
I've noticed they do this a bit um. Certain letters at the start of
things are often silent. I mean the tea at the start of Sister Nagenie
is not meant to be pronounced much like And this happened when the X Men
movies came out. Everyone's saying, hey, it's Professor Charles Xavier. No,
that's just Xavier Xavier Xavier. Yeah exavior, Yeah it was, but
was it xavier. Is that how it was supposed to be pronounced like in
that world? I don't think so. I think everyone I think they looked
at and go, well, if we pronounce it zev, people are going
to see words in X men. Wor isn't it z men because it's spelled
X pronounced z I the conversation they had in the boardroom, I wouldn't be
surprised if it's zev yet, then why isn't it it's man? Yeah,
we're going to get letters. The X very important in x men, so
make sure you make sure you are you say the X. Yeah, indeed,
But I look, I would pronounce this cisterna genie but but maybe yeah.
But in the episode, they are pronouncing it. So Homer gets stuck.
Though he says he needs to pee now, he's just now, he's
just stuck so obviously his pants. Margin says, I'm gonna go get We'll
get the fireman that got you off the ride that time or whatever, And
I'm like, how exactly you're stuck in this hole? Yeah, there's there
shouldn't be any other entrances to this place, which is which is what raises
questions at the end I was like, how did everyone just like like or
sort of just arrive out of nowhere? Were they in there as well?
These guys fell down a hole that was not there beforehand into this like cavern
down the bottom. Then all of a sudden, Burns arrives and the ticks
and arrives and snake comes down with his sun from the roof. I'm like,
where the fuck did they come from? This is why I don't go
caving or exploring or splunking. The idea of caving terrifies me. Like you
see some videos with people in these little tiny cracks and they're trying to get
through it, and I'm like, no way. You could not pay me
a million dollars to do that. No way, I wouldn't do it,
no way, no day, forget about it. No, I'm just thinking
about it makes me sick. I just I'm very bad with tight spaces.
But I just don't think I could do it at all. I just not
a chance at all. Yeah, but they point out that this place is
not on the map, so they go looking for a way out. I'm
like, good luck, okay, fun with that one. Good luck with
that. Listener says she's going to tell a story to keep home or occupied,
but no unicorns at Homer says. So, she mentions how she was
walking home from school last week through the forest, randomly through the forest the
way home from school, and a ram starts charging her. I was walking
home from school when suddenly I hurt, Oh, hello, mister big horn
sheep. I've read about you. You're shy and you're rarely approach humans.
And of course he'd never attack a fellow beast, liberal mit it. Yeah,
So when the ram burst through the window, so lets her in to
get us to safety. Right when the ram burst through the window, you
can actually see the necklace on the rams horn, right, And every time
you see the ram going forward you don't see the necklace. I'm thinking,
if you're going to go through that much trouble to put the necklace there for
that shot but then not include it going forward, might as well not have
at all, because it doesn't make sense that it was there. Then it
wasn't there because there's nowhere else for it to hide. On the ram's horn,
it's either there, it's not the enemy hanging there. So when it
burst through the window initially into mister Burns's house, you see it hanging there,
but then when it's chasing after him down the hallway, it's not there
anymore. I get where you're coming from, and you make a great deal
of sense, but also I don't really care. So the he destroys the
extraal table as its chased him, they get to the panic room and the
passwords Pangaea and the password has been emailed at him. How often do you
forget your your passwords? Should I cop to this in public? Because for
a lot of my accounts, I only have one. I knew. I
just felt like that would be the answer for you. You have the same
password for everything, and it's Guy Davis sexy man, or it's just like
Guy Davis sixty nine to be telling everybody, yeah, no, no,
but the Balkan the one thing, or it was like, hey, you
need to have this and this like okay, I'll add this variation. Yeah,
but occasionally, like if it's something that I don't use or I know
I'm only going to use online and it's like or on a specific computer,
and then'll be like, okay, finally I'll accept the suggested strong password.
That's just you know, this incredible long remember letters and symbols that you never
never, never remember. Most of the time, I'm pretty good with passwords,
and then it'll be like, no, it's not that. And then
but it will say, hey, this password requires this, and it's like,
oh, okay, it's the other one. It's planned b. So
it's just like the do you have many different passwords for different a lot of
different passwords, but I have a little book that has them all in it,
so write them all down. I'll forget. But I just think it.
Imagine being like a just mean, like a hacker, right and finally
realizing you've cracked the password of like some famous celebrity for their Twitter account.
The thrill of that moment must be so awesome, know you Now you're now
controlling the Ashton Koch's Twitter. Isn't that the isn't that the creeper like you
know, busted into the cloud and got all Jennifer Lawrence's nude though I don't
know, well, people have the systems all the time, and I'm not
just saying the nu people that release nude picks are like terrible and like I
made the choice never look those up because it's like they were taken in If
you go on Playboy or something. That's different. But if you if your
nudes have been leaked, that is the biggest breach of privacy because the thing
is, for example, you're gonn take into account the way I see.
I'm just like because my friend was like, oh, Jennifer Lawrence nuds out,
and I'm like, I just say I was famous and someone found nudes
of Nicola and put them on the internet, like it would be. I
just couldn't imagine the embarrassment for Nicola, and like, I would hate to
think that everyone's out there like looking at Nicola was no clothes on, right,
So I make the deliberate choice to not do the same. But if
they pose naked, that's different, right, That's true. Just go watch
Red Sparrow. What's what's Red Sparrow? It's a movie. The Jennifer Lawrences
are appeasmember. She was like the last big one where remember there was like
heaps of nude leaks at the time, would like someone broke in and like
leaked everyone's nudes at that time, didn't there She was like the she was
like a list that the atime she's not really She's still a list, but
she's not really she sat taking back with step now and actually gonna be a
mother souon what she No, she she's had a kid, she had he
waste. Yeah, but yeah she I think she gave her mortic an interview
where she said, I didn't really have a lifetile decide to go get one.
So yeah, that makes sense. I mean she's respectively got it one
maybe two oscars already, and you know, should turn her money from being
in the Hunger Games movies and the X Men movies and all that kind of
stuff. So yeah, and I think she can just like I think I
might kick back and enjoy it for a while and more power to Yep.
Yep. But mister Burns and Lisa they hide in the attic. But first
of all, he goes up the chair on the stairs and I'll just get
missus deagle vibes from Gremlins into that chair. Oh yeah. But yeah,
So they're hiding in the attic. Smith's is out getting a spray ton,
and Lisa then finds the Employee of the Month award for mo for Moss,
where he starts the man's a walking crimsical. Yeah, they start. He
starts telling the story that he was part of the Excluders Club. Han't interrupts,
saying, you know, now you're telling Burns the story, and she
says he compares the two. You know, when you watch old home videos,
if you watching TV. Oh, it makes perfect sense. Now and
that's a good comparison. That makes perfect sense. So as opposed to the
play and within the play in Hamlet, you work at most Yes, there
lies a tale of woo and heartbreak. When I couldn't possibly recount, I
understand, I just read a magazine. Okay, here's the story. I
belonged to a very exclusive club, the Excludier's Club. One day while I
was savoring the exclusivity. Wait, wait, wait, wait, now you're
telling me Burns his story. Yeah, it's like the play within a play
in Hamlet. Let's see, it's like when you watch old home movies of
you watching TV. Gotcha? One day a new member arrived at the club.
Who's this drat upole apric card. Yeah, I'm in oil. What's
your racquet? Slim new club power? They make money using my brain nuts,
sticking a pool in the ground and praying for good. You need to
get your hands dirty. Point extra devilment, A little Texas crude down in
Houston. We call that a fort Worth shampoo. Sir, hey challenge you
to a dude. You got it a bullet in the brain at high now,
my ads, they could kill me. Hello about we settle things with
a scavenger hunt. You're on twigget sorry about that. I'm just I'm a
big fan of a scavenger hun. When's the last time you did a scavenger
hunt? We actually hosted one for our radio show when I was on k
Rock well ten to fifteen years ago, and people went wild for it.
It was like people loved it. How many what sort of items did they
have to get? It was things like you know, photos are certain landmarks
in Geelong. But there was one where I was like, like we didn't
say which specific store it was to get a kebab from a specific store,
but there was clues which store it was, and like if you if you
got the kebab from the right store, once you had finished the kebab,
then you would be given the tokens. People were going to these kebab stores
buying a kabab, eating it and then the guy was like, I know
what you're talking about. It so like it was just so that's the way
we sort of got sponsors for the for the thing because various stores were getting
promotion as a result at the end. Yeah, that's very clever, Dan.
The rule was that you weren't allowed to tell the person in the kebab
shop about the scavenger hunt. So it was just like either they knew or
they didn't. And like they said, so many people would just be like,
what scavenger hunt? What are you talking about? It? Like,
but the next morning here and they've got ten items to collect when it takes
all And what did you think of the dream on bitch line from from Burns?
Yeah, it doesn't fit Burns. I don't think doesn't Burns. I
mean that it's yeah, just one of those things where you have a character
who normal, he wouldn't say stuff like that, Bob Barker, Bob Barker.
At least at least it worked there though, because he was responding to
what happy Gilmoitead said that is correct. This didn't really work. So I
worked the montage of them collecting things like suspenders. They each take one of
Lenny suspenders, his pants fall down, the letter I from the Springfield sign
Homer's hand to take one hair each. Then they need a photo with a
smiling child, and mister Burns tries to get one on the school bus and
it's just not happening at all, and the rich textle wins because he gets
one with the Jimbo. Jimbo was happy to be part of it, gets
the photo there. I think I think it was jim It was a gim
It looked like Jimbo, right, was it Jimbo? I think so,
yeah, yeah, And he rides smithers out out of the office or out
of the out of the room. Then Burns. He spends three days or
three nights with his unrelatives at the cemetery, and he says, I'm gonna
way out from bottom. I'm gonna whip my way up to Mo's first,
or from Mo's first, to get to get to the bottom. So he
enters. I did not like this next bit here of Homer just and co
just mocking Burns. I'm like, what is happening here? You know?
And it's one of those gags that just goes on a bit too long.
Yeah, you know, it thinks that it's being smarter than it is by
you know, Homers dancing like a jerk forever, and it's like, oh,
yeah, he's gonna look like a jerk later when he does that.
It's like, I get what you mean. But this was just poorly executed.
It's a good idea at a bit idea, let's poorly executed at five
fifteen an hour. It would take an eternity to make my fortune back,
and Faker wasn't helping do. But then, for once in my life,
things went my way. I steamed a little open with Moo's cappuccino machine.
If you're reading this, I am dead and you are about to learn the
story of my treasure. Treasure treasure who has a cappuccino machine. We come
back and margin Bart. They couldn't find a way out, but Bart ruined
some cave paintings. One of the lines he wrote was I want to have
your calf, but at least I wants to have it keep with it whatever
anyway. That tells people like the type of gross joke that you would make
at the expense of a little sister. Though it's such a random although not
at this age when you take into account the set up here like where where
they are, the situation you could have had this anywhere. It's such a
random set up for them or to be in this cave. But don't you
think, like there's no need the cave itself. The any pay off it
is that Marge throws the gold down the hole at the end. But yeah,
it's like it just seems like such an odd situation for the family to
have found themselves in to tell this story, Well, I've got to be
somewhere where, you know, they can't get out. Find an easier reason
for Lisa to tell a story without episodes of people tell the stories in the
past was from the living rooms, So what do they need to be tracked
in a cave? I don't know, doesn't animated the living room. It's
like, think, let's give the animals a little thung. But he's he's
heading to the supply store to buy some euro cake mix. He gets hit
by the bus. Missus k gets off the bus and she the rack of
an angel. She talks about how her X was a drunk. She hates
all the bars and saloons and taverns. So he obviously lies because he wants
a piece of her. So he says that he's a therapist for alcoholics,
So he says, he get rid of all the garbage my friends otherwise knows
my best friend, so he throws them all out in this week. Get
the Moo Barney means so awesome. Then they're having a great summer missus Ka
and Moo. They're loving each other and the loving life. And she says
she's gonna be teaching fourth grade. The other question I have for this episode
was that the timeline of things right, So missus k apparently arrives at Springfield
when Bart's already in fourth grade. I must confess that did sort of take
my brain and give it a little bit of a Chinese burn. Yeah,
it's like, what's going on there? What am I turning in the dando
worrying about timelines? It just felt because as they're driving off here you see
Martin and Nelson playing with each other, and I was like, wait,
so the kids at the normal age missus Kay is like really young, they're
playing with each other. Didn't playing it again? Time to kinde shut up?
Shut up and like track lightning, Well, one of them's having fun.
The guys that approach Mo they can find him because you know, they
want their drink. They feel sober because he's not helping him get drunk,
and he said, I'm going to out the one of you that is gay,
And yeah, that just feels like again a zinger with no foundation in
Springfieldian reality. No, it's more like I mean that it's it's a really
sort of old zinger. That kind of one was like, yeah, I've
told all the girls here one of you was gay. Have fun guessing which
one it's like or whatever. It's like, that's a bit kind of hackish.
Mo. He wanted to get out of Springfield, but he needed money.
So this is where Snake fortunately arrives. But he's not Snake yet is.
He is Professor jail Bird, as we will soon find out. And
he's an archaeologist who has got to He's found some money from gold. He
wants to donate it to the Natural History Museum in Springfield, but Most says
he can't do that because they're closed. So he said, you'll do it
tomorrow. You'll stay at night at the mo View Hotel across the road.
Most is, I wonder what to do, so I decide to do the
right thing, and he robs him. I've been robbed. I'll take my
revenge on society by which I'm in convenience stores and who would suspect me Professor
Jailbird. Whilst I get what they're going forward, this line just felt very
unnatural. I'm gonna take my revenge out of society aka convenience stores, and
I am Professor Jailbird. I'm okay, this shows what a Hackey would be
writer I am, but I mean professor Jailbird is just like two obvious.
Why not just have him like initials j L Bird. Oh yeah, and
they've done that kind of gay before, but that makes far more sense.
It's far more creative than I'm Professor Jailbird. I'm just felt like, again,
how many times do you feel like they just run out of time?
They're like home time quick throws up, men, let's move on. They
do. There's the sports World of thing. You've seen that thing where he
talks about Yeah, I just do a really shit first draft full of placeholder
gags like this happened, then this and the like yeah, but but then
I get to rewrite, which is fun. Yeah. I got rid of
the hard bit writing, which sucks, but I got to do rewriting,
which is fun. And now the elves came in. It feels a lot
the rewrites though, have just got out the window, doesn't it in a
lot of the cases. Yeah, that's that's when I'm that was a little
bit of a mind blower along the lines of therefore all but yeah, just
a really shit first rout. Well, I mean, that's like writing what
I want. It's just like, yeah, get it all on the page,
and then you know, chip away the stuff that doesn't worry, build
the skeleton, and then and then Fanessa Yeah, yeah, then had the
flesh, Yes exactly. But Edna, she says she has to tell the
school that she's not going to be teaching now. And she enters here and
as Mo says, fate plays a little game up yours Mo because she has
seen Bart and she or he's this is the thing. I thought this is
going to be. I thought this was a callback to Bart gets an f
where he thinks's going to fail the fourth grade and missus k Helpson get through
it right. But no, he was just lying to distract her. So
I know, I'm just like, it makes you feel even sad if he's
k It's like her whole her idea of what MO was was a lie.
And everything's based on all things based on a lie, like I mean to
Springfield just destroyed her. Yeah, there's a bit we you know where where
Barton Edna and talking. He says, I bet I won't even make it
through fourth grade. So I'm assuming that he's in third grade at this stage,
or you know, fourth grade is the year that's coming up. But
we won't even through the fourth grade. I think he's meant to be in
the fourth grade now, I think. But this is summer, right,
so I guess I think it's the start of the year that's coming up.
Yeah, so it's before he starts. So she's meant to his fourth grade
teacher from the start. Okay, yep, I see what you're saying.
Yeah, yeah, but even then, it's not really a whole lot of
time. No, no, it still doesn't work. It doesn't make sense.
Now, best to make it work. It doesn't make sense for what
you're going to do. We've bent space and time for you, Simpsons,
but no, we couldn't do it. Marge calls out that you you know,
you never had to tension all the way through summer. He says,
you're just distracting the way it distracting missus case who Neilson is still the microscopes,
and then she tells Mo that she hasn't coming. He goes absolutely mental,
and he goes and gets drug and Drownsy sorrows away by putting all the
money or the gold in the jukebox, and mister Burns raised this and so
you pull man, You're about to get a lot poorer. So he then
trades all that gold with the text and I was like, this gold's really
worth more than mister Burns ohs owns, I should say, like it's worth
more than a nuclear power plant. I'm not too sure about this, but
anyway, he agrees to swap it back, and he says, the only
way I'm going to do that, though, is if you give me the
photo of you with a smiling child. And then we get the obsessive compulsive
gag, which as a kid, I remember that was hysterical for me,
but here I was just like whatever, possibly in sense, they've definitely unfunny.
We come back from commercial and the ram gets into the attic and then
mister Burns just like risks his life a leasa and I'm like, what the
folks going up? Mist that Burns would never do this. Don't take me,
I'm old, like, take me this baronil thistle, spare this sweet
young hour And I was like, no, that's not going to happen.
But anyway, he hits mister Burns, knocks him to the to the wall,
gives Lisa the pearl necklace, which that sounds pretty bad. But then
she asked, how did you find it? She asked how you how you
found this? And then it starts telling the story. I'm like, whatever,
Lisa was Lisa, why was her necklace on a tree? How did
her necklace come off and then go into a tree? So like a necklace
is just randomly fall off and land on a bush, Like you have to
unclear a lot of holes, a lot of a lot of holes in this
particular road. That Burns sacrificed his gorgeous body for nothing. I guess this
is what means when you're having a baby. And Lisa says she wants a
photo with him, and he finally gets that photo that he needs. Meanwhile,
bats now chewing Homer's leg for whatever reason, because the bats playing no
story, no play, don't play to the story at all. Homer falls
out and Homer reveals that he brought them all here to find the coins,
and then like, I can't believe you would do something like this, And
I was like, well, we didn't fall down the hole with but that
really have been such a bad like a bad thing. He brought you to
a really nice family nature walk to to potentially find some treasure. That sounds
like a good fucking family day out if you ask me, a family bonding
exactly. Yeah. But Over then tells his story that he was hiding in
the forest because you're supposed to watch Maggie's home. Is a terrible father,
now everybody, just in case you went away. He hates looking after his
kids. He hates his children, just so you weren't aware. He's a
terrible person. And because he was hiding in the forest, he oversaw the
text in hiding the gold in the cave because he wanted to avoid paying taxes.
And then Homer says, we need that money because for Bart's operation.
But that's a story for another episode. Apparently the rich text and then randomly
arrives in the cave, and then mister Burns and Mo randomly arrive not so
fast. Cheety Burt Johnson I'll take that gold. Yeah, you'll take it
and then you'll give it to me if you know what's good for you.
You guys have guns, well, so do iyo. Coolest entrance gets the
goal? Um is it okay that I brought my son? This is my
day with him, Jeremy, there's a boy over there you can play with.
Do you like xbox? The do you like Xbox? Line? Got
me as well, So I'm like, that's just kind of like when you're
a kid. He's met in a kid You're like, so do you like
stuff? What was your goal to when you're a kid, like making a
new friend? Mom was always like do you like football? Feel I feel
like football? Was like if we both like football, will get along.
We can at least bond over that football or Star Wars Star Wars okay yeah
yeah? Or um, you're told a dirty joke even when you were like
six, the dirty Oh yeah. I mean I don't want your idea of
a dirty jokers when you're six, But something's a bit salty, a bit
right baal rybal Yes, Then we get a Mexican standoff. Homers two pay
comes off because you got the Tupai with the with the fake hair earlier in
the episode, make it pretends to have a gun, a little callback to
who shot mister Burns. Then Marge threatens to drop the gold's let bring back
Edna's love. It could definitely, that's like, that's actually because it's totally
could if someone offered the gold. I think she would come back to him.
I love that mister Burns isn't important more, and you got a child
to smile at you. No one'd rather have the goal. I would.
I'd very much rather have the gold. And I was like, yeah,
I can kind of relate to this. She throws it down the hole.
They all thank her because now don't have to worry about trying to fight over
it. They say, they're all going to the youth Center and Shelbyville for
fucking whatever reason. And mister Burns meanwhile still climbing down the hole to try
and find the treasure, but then tells the story to Skinner, so it's
like another story within a story within a story within the story. It's sort
of very convolute him, but he's telling the story to Skinner, and the
Skinner doesn't believe it. And it looks at the window and sees Edna kissing
Moe and she says, oh I want At this point is a man with
a healthy libido, which he apparently doesn't have it, and the RIGI where
he gets awkward. Then the rich Texan is talking over the credits with his
compulsive disorder, and that's the end. So, as we said, no
logic, but you know, plenty of enough fun in this episode for me
to give her the thumbs up. There's I said a lot of holes in
this particular road about the vehicle itself sort of move fast enough and had decent
enough suspension that you weren't going to go or anything like that. If I'm
just watching this episode, I'm not thinking about all this stuff. I'm just
enjoying it. When I'm having to take notes and review it, that's what
I overthink things, and I'm like, this doesn't make sense, and this
doesn't make sense, which is why what I tend to do now is watch
the episode first, see how I enjoy it, just absorbing it as a
twenty two minute piece of television, and then I start taking notes because if
I'm taking notes the whole time, it kills the flow of the episode because
I'm constantly pushing pause and things like that. So that's why I try to
get my perspective as a viewer first and then as a reviewer, And the
reviewer is usually a lot more harsher than a viewer. Correct. So what
do we learn, Bomber? So what do you learn from the episode?
Mister Davis? That I should really just shut up? I'm a track lightning.
Yeah, that sounds like a good plan to me. I learned that
never go for the till go for the jukebox A good move, a smart
move. Forward, your name droll me. Okay, and mister Davis,
we're here to do the new names for the seemingly never ending story. The
current leader board stands at this In first position, we have our man,
Luke McKay, five points clear of second position, which is Heath Appleby.
And in third position we have a four way tie. We've got Garrod,
Harry Hill, Kyle Muldoon, Clever Kyle, focused chefs, and Adam Woolhouse
or on these six points. So him, what do we have this week,
mister Davis for the new names? Okay, let's keep it short and
sweet. One point goes to simception. Simception, Oh, very very good.
Indeed, that goes to Mark Boston Burgess, Boston Boston. Indeed,
yeah, nice one made okay two points four a series of anik dope.
They got in there with the doves. They do love their dotes, and
so do you. David Mott. He is a very smart man when it
comes to that, you know, maybe clever David, So David. That
puts David now on seven points, which I believe has him been around about
second or third position. But I'm anyway, can keep going. What do
we have for three points and the third well not the third, not not
third, let's first place with three points? Yeah, yeah, not at
all confusing. That goes to stuck Caven Dad, Oh oh, you won't
believe it. It's Clever Kyle living up to the name. Yes, buddy,
So okay. Leaderboard now, so they've gotten a little bit closer to
Luke mckayl McKay didn't get any points this week, so still in first is
Luke McKay on twelve. Clever Kyle is now in second position on nine points,
and in third position. We have a two a tie with Heath Appleby
and one David Mott and that one point from Mark Boston Burgess gotty much the
three points as well, So he's slowly climbing that leaderboard. So thank you
guys for sending in your new names for similar the editing story. It's now
time Stavis, that we answer some mail bag questions. Mailbagail Debail is here.
Okay. The first question here for the mail bag is from Andrew JP.
And Andrew says, what's your favorite meta slash self referential TV show or
movie? Did Bill and Ted said? Bill and Ted was just whacky?
They didn't reference it stuff? Did it? No? M community used to
do it a lot. Well, yeah, um, I guess the one
that sort of did it for me back in the day. Um, there's
a show that I referenced a lot that I really dig Moonlighting back in the
eighties. Shepherd. Yeah, they broke the fourth wall all the time,
and they they regularly acknowledged that they were on a TV show. Wow,
I did not know that. Yeah, And you know, played around with
the form all the time, and you know, they were always because the
show was, you know, it had really dense scripts. It was always
sort of overwritten and scripted often come in late, and so they and they
tended to acknowledge on the show. It's like oh, well, you know
in search joke here because we didn't have toime to write a joke stuff like
that. So you know, as a teenager watching that, it was like,
Wow, that Bruce Willis is super cool. Help but make him one
day and the next thing was these guys are really fucking around with the format.
That's interesting. So yeah, that's probably my my favorite. Yeah,
that is very I'm gonna have to check out Moonlightly sometime because you always go
on about it and it's a show that you don't see anywhere, Like it's
not it's getting reruns anywhere or anything like that. But I mean, it's
got Bruce Willis and his early days. It's got to be good, right.
Apparently Disney Plus has um picked up the rights to stream it now when
they're actually I'll do that, I'm not sure that. I don't think so.
No, but a while back, let's check it, okay, but
if whilst you're talking, I'll check it. Continue if you google Moonlight slash
Disney Plus or Hulu or something like that. They then because there was announcement
like a few months back from the creator of the show. It's like I've
got something to reveal, and everyone's like what reboot or and then the newspaper
as well was coming out was like, no, reboot not happening for sad
reasons. Obviously, we shouldn't be laughing for sad reasons. We're not,
yeah, not making fun, that's for sure. We're certainly not making fun
of my man Bruno. But then it was like, yeah, we're remastering
him and putting them up on streaming. So and I'm pretty sure it was
Disney Plants that was going to be doing it. But it's complicated because Disney
Plus is different all over the world, certainly in the States, because I
mean they've got Disney Plus, which is just Disney stuff, but they've got
I've got Hulu, which is like, yeah, the adult version of Disney
Plus, which is Disney Plus here in Australia. Looking at He's not on
Disney Plus in Australia yet anyway, but you're right, that's one. They've
got things like um like the New Future Arms coming straight to Hulu. Yeah,
yeah in the States, but we'll obviously get on Disney Plus here.
Yeah, but that's that's my that's my choice, all right, Yeah,
it's my selection. Next question, Ben lyons, what's the best treasure either
of you have found outdoors or exploring a city you hadn't been to before.
Oh, this is interesting to find treasure too, Like what's a hidney jam?
We should say, like what's hidden gem you've found when you've been to
a city and you're like, oh, I didn't. We went to m
du Buy as part of our honeymoon on the way back and there was this
all you can eat places just by the main sort of like little port area,
and it was a photo. We've got a photo of it in our
We've got like a selfie like a collage in our in our bedroom now our
honeymoon, so I've got them. I'm holding up the menu. So I
actually looked this place up. I should go and do it because it was
honestly some of the most delicious fit I've ever had in my life. It
was incredible in Dubai Dubai all you can eat, It's amazing. I'm glad
that that worked out well for you, because I'll tell your story. The
other night or the other weekend. The Lovely Louis and I were up in
Melbourne at the party on Saturday night and then we went to the concert on
Sunday night, and we hadn't eaten before the concert, so we got out
about term thirty and we were just starving and we were dropping loose some back
at back at university, back at his college where he was staying. It
was like, oh, we gotta get some to eat first. So we
went to lig on Stream. I think it's the food Mecher of Melbourne.
Of course, something you want to eat there. Yeah, yeah, there
was barely anything, but ended up going to this like middle Eastern restaurant.
We thought we'll have a kebab, there'd be some sort of chicken on a
stick. It was just the I'm not going to name name that. It
was just the shabbiest place. The servers was so surly, and we're like,
we're just so hungry, we'll take whatever. Um. We got these
kebabs that were fine, But yeah, I mean, there's nothing like finding
a great kebab joint. And it sounds like that you found a great food
you joined when you're thinking of treasure. I mean, the first thing that
came to mind was once I was at a music festival and you know,
it was muddy and rainy and all this kind of stuff. I looked down,
and so what's that bright thing on the floor? There? Is it
the leaf? It's a fifty dollar note. I think you may have told
us this story before you that's like, I mean, obviously finding a hundreds
even better, but like finding a fifty, it's like you feel like you
hit the jackpot. From over there. You're like, I'm actually rich.
Yeah, I mean, what's the most you ever sort of find on the
ground. You mean you might see like a coin. Have you see a
gold coin? You're like, score, yeah, yeah, yeah, what's
the least? To me? The least is like I'll pick up a fifty
it's twenty or less. I'm like, ask some other guy. I can
find it. But I never forget when I was a kid. I've definitely
told this story before. I'm pretty sure. But we're at the Sunday Market
in Balmont here in Geelong, and I was going to put my wrapper of
something in the bin. I was in the bin and someone that dropped fifty
bucks just in the bin. I was like, I would have been ten
or round it at the time. I still remember it though, just outside
the now. How would you go to the market there, You've got the
basketball arena and you can go inside. It was just at the doorway there
and I'm looking at and going moment has for fifty dollars and my mum beam,
my mum. She was like, well, make sure you're handed in
so in case someone's lost it. I'm like, okay, man, man,
okay. I really went to bag. I was actually figured it with
the hand, so we turned into garment. Yeah, yeah he can,
man. So I got to hand it to him to the security guard and
he goes, you can just keep it. I was like, awesome,
said mummy. He's like, an keep it, and she goes, are
you sure, and she looked at the guy and I poisoned at him.
He sort of gave her the nod, and I was like, yes,
what a man. Some poor kids, some poor persons lost their fifty dollars.
But the security guys like, mate, you just have it. Just
let's go a lord. And then just just I don't forget Mum looking over
at him, him just going it's all good. I got you. You've
just got faith in the adult world. That's you're starting to think maybe to
just have to screw me over. And I was like, we'll do this
kid as solid. Yeah, it was it was a very great day.
All right, A couple more questions than we'll wrap this one up. So,
Andrew Swan, what's your favorite movie that starts at the end and then
goes back and retails the crazy eventu that led them to that point. Oh
well, let's let's say pulp fiction out of the equation that's sort of all
over the shop. It's sort of beginning, it's that sort of ending,
goes back, but it's all over the shop. But a movie that sort
of goes back and retails. Ah, I like the Soundlot Kids. The
soundlot does that? Oh yeah, we did that on the movie Guys a
few months ago. I was just trying to think of any that comes to
my mind. What does mister Hollins opens to that I don't recall? Actually,
Titanic does that? Titanic is a big one. It does it doesn't,
Yeah, it doesn't. It doesn't. It's not like it's retail that
the events that happened immediately before the start of the movie, but it's still
telling previous events of it. How the old woman got the gem. Yeah,
yeah, this is a tough one. Oh, I wish they're Titanic
and um and the Soundlot of the first two that comes to my mind for
whatever reason. Yeah, oh man, I'm going to think about this,
mister Swan. I may have to talk to you in the patron chat yeah,
and on the discord or find you on the on the Facebook group and
let you know. But yeah, oh, I feel like I right,
chump, Nothing springing to mind at the moment, but I'm sure there are
really good ones, he said, not quite at the end, but he
likes how Deadpool starts about midway and then backtracks to see how he got into
that situation. Mike Boston burges, do you think a prequel episode of Snake
being an Indiana Jones type character would work? Also? I wrote it that
he's called Snake in Indiana it hates snakes. Ah. Well, first of
all, well well noted, well pointed out. I don't know. In
all, it was such an odd, an odd character beat, wasn't it
to see Snake being a good guy like this? I mean, I liked
it, but it was just I don't know whether I want permanent Snake like
this. But we're big on prequels now, aren't we. So the idea
of a prequel just sort of tantalizes everyone's thoughts. But it really does,
doesn't it. Which you know, I don't think I'm all that mad on.
I don't think he's just he's a he's a a thief, you know.
I don't want to know too much about good guy Snake. It was
nice that we saw him how he became a good guy, but I don't
I don't want too much of that, you know, No, No,
I mean, I think the best prequel there ever was was really just the
start of Indiana Jones on The Last Crusade, where you've got that ten twenty
minute bit at the start where River Phoenix is playing young Indie, and you'll
learn how we got the hat, how are you why he's afraid of snakes?
Hey, we got the scar on his chin. You'll learn how he
becomes good with the whip. It's like that's all I needed. I don't
need to know anymore. It's not like Batman, we always get the whole
how his parents died. I think I think there's a moratorium on that from
now. And I think everyone, I think any filmmaker is saying, we're
not doing Martha Wayne's Pels. Forget it. No one's like gonna make a
whole film about him becoming Batman. Everyone's like, oh no, it was
a good movie. But anyway, one more question. Let's get one more
question. Actually it's two more here, mel life. I want to say
that they say love this episode, the bit about Smithers out getting a tan.
Do you think this is the Simpsons trying to explain Smithers on Homer's Odyssey.
I've read somewhere that that was the inten Oh if it is, then
I don't know that that's where you get Blacksmith is by the way in Homer's
Odyssey. Oh okay, I don't. I don't think so. Oh yeah,
that's that's one of those things where it's like ed happened. We all
know why it happened. It was just a mistake. Let's just move on.
But I get what they're trying to say the Hommer I see, I
don't hear these person said they read somewhere that that was the intention, But
I find it very hard to believe. It seems like a big stretch.
YEP, Stretching is good. We recommend everybody do it. Lou and I
are always saying to one another because it's been a very complicated a couple of
weeks in the Davis households. Early both my mum and my sister, my
elder sister, took tumbles. Give mum as well. Yeah yeah, mum
shit some chords in the living room and land on the coffee table and mucked
up her ribs. But we never told you this. Oh this just happened
like two days ago. Still we've spoken in that time. I know,
I know you have to tell me all your personal affairs, but that's like
you tell me about your sister. I mean, you've been looking after your
sister, but your mom Margaret Mary. And she said, now I'm looking
after Margaret Mary's mascot of this show. But here's the thing. Well,
she took a tumble, but she went in. She got X rayed,
no crack ribs, no internal bleeding. Plus I did some blood work.
Ninety three year old Margaret Mary's got the blood work of like a twenty five
year old Holy shit, kicking goals. Indeed, So you know, hopefully
genetics will be on my side despite all my efforts to you know, just
sucking up by continue eating cheese bokes. Sorry, guys. Another forty years
of Guy David's podcast Buckle up folks. Yeah, but also my sister Joe
took a tumble as well. Now Joe's coming into look after mom because Joe's
recovered so well, don't tag her in. Yeah indeed, so there's that.
Um And why was it an eventful week? Why was I going to
talk about it? Because you're talking about stretching. Oh yeah, so Lo
and I are like, I think we stretch more. I think we should
be like limber in our old age, so we're not sort of using walkers.
Although yeah, I noticed for me when I was like playing down the
hallway of the kids, like I'm all fours, like playing with cars and
stuff, and I struggle to get up. But I'm like, you're thirty
four mates, sort yourself out. Oh just the orchestra of sound, yeah,
that you make when you have to give up, when you have to
prepared to push up. Yeah, you're sort of braces. All right.
Here's a task final question here focused Jeff's if you stumbled across the gold,
would you take it? I've talked about the fifty fifty years gold. It's
a gold note, doesn't it fifty? It's pineapples. Sort of goal is,
if you found gold, would you take it. I would make sure
that no one is around. I would maybe hang around for about another half
an hour. If no one's claimed that ship, then it is mine.
I agree, Like, what's your what's your time? What's your time for
a waiting to see if someone's coming to claim something? Or would you say
half an hour? Is that enough? If? I don't know, Like
it depends what it is, I guess, but you know, if have
you ever come back to claim something like golden in half an hour? And
then it's fucking it's fair game, surely, I think. So, Yeah,
you're being quite You're stretching it out a bit. I'm more like ten
minutes maybe than five. I've spent that ship within ten minutes. All right,
