Ep. #319 - Alita Battle Angel LIVE

Dan McCoy

[0:00] Hey everyone, you know on one of these off weeks we'd normally deliver you one of our

[0:09] patented very long minis.

Stuart Wellington

[0:12] A patented piping hot piece of podcast.

Elliott Kalan

[0:17] Yep, that's a lot of peas in there.

[0:18] I call them maxi minis.

Dan McCoy

[0:20] A pickled piece of podcast.

[0:23] But now we're going to give you a really pickled piece of podcast because it's from long ago

[0:27] and we've been...

[0:28] Sell it, Dan.

[0:29] Sell it.

[0:29] Hype it up.

[0:30] Make it sound desirable.

[0:31] Old and moldy.

[0:33] We brined it for your pleasure.

[0:35] Hey, I mean, you don't like pickles, Elliot?

[0:38] This is something we should dive into.

Elliott Kalan

[0:39] I do like pickles.

[0:41] But how many products, when they're being hyped up, are described as pickled?

Dan McCoy

[0:47] Well, pickles is the number one.

[0:49] Like if we were doing Family Feud, it would be, show me pickles!

[0:54] And that would be number one on the board.

Elliott Kalan

[0:56] But it's rare that when a movie comes out or a song, they're like, hey,

[0:59] get ready for this old thing from the vaults.

[1:01] It's been pickled.

[1:02] So we packed this in salt so it would last the winter, and now we're going to dump it on your plate.

Dan McCoy

[1:09] Okay.

[1:09] Well, the point is, this is coming right after the Maximum Fun drive has technically ended.

[1:16] The technical end of the drive was one day prior to the release of this.

[1:21] But, you know, we are a bunch of rule breakers, and we think this basically counts as part of the drive.

[1:28] So if you want to go to Maximum Fun...

Elliott Kalan

[1:30] And also, not just basically counts, but there is a grace period after the official end of the drive.

[1:34] We should say, you can still go to MaximumFun.org slash join, and you will be coming a new or upgrading member.

[1:42] It's not just, you don't have to petition them that the flop house said it's okay.

[1:45] It'll happen.

[1:46] Yeah.

Dan McCoy

[1:47] I mean, Elliot, you could become a member of Maximum Fun at any time during the year.

[1:53] Normally, when there's a grace period, it's because we're trying to reach sort of a target.

[1:57] But there is no target this year due to the pandemic and other associated disruptions in our lives.

[2:04] Wait a minute.

Elliott Kalan

[2:04] No, no, I have a target.

[2:06] What's that target?

[2:07] And we're very close to reaching it.

[2:09] That target?

[2:10] Your heart.

Dan McCoy

[2:11] Mm-hmm.

[2:11] Uh-huh.

[2:11] And it's a heart target.

Elliott Kalan

[2:13] Yeah.

[2:13] It is a very hard target, because you've got a very hard heart.

[2:15] He's a hard-hearted man.

Stuart Wellington

[2:17] Yeah, so you've got to take a chance, Boudreaux, on Dan's hard target.

[2:21] That's a heart.

[2:22] Point is, guys, that this is...

[2:24] By the way, rest in peace, Wilford Brimley.

[2:26] What a man.

[2:27] What a man in the movie, Hard Target.

[2:29] Hard Target star.

Elliott Kalan

[2:31] What a mustache.

[2:31] Wilford Brimley.

[2:32] A man, a mustache, oats, Panama.

Dan McCoy

[2:35] The great thing about that is it's not a palindrome.

[2:38] Not at all.

[2:38] Nope.

[2:39] It's not.

Stuart Wellington

[2:40] I mean, everybody's made the joke, but when I found out that Wilford Brimley had passed

[2:44] away, obviously I was sad.

[2:46] And then I saw that he passed away at the age of 85, and I'm like, what?

[2:54] Wasn't he 85 my whole life?

[2:56] Yeah.

Dan McCoy

[2:56] Well, he was like 49 or 50 when Cocoon was out.

[3:01] No, no, Canoon.

[3:03] Like you were going to say it the first time.

Elliott Kalan

[3:04] Canoon.

[3:05] The movie about the magic canoe that makes you young.

Stuart Wellington

[3:08] So did somebody fashion Wilford Brimley out of clay?

[3:15] And as Paul Rudd normally would have gotten older, he just stayed the same age, but then

[3:19] Wilford Brimley got older?

Elliott Kalan

[3:21] You're right.

[3:22] Wilford Brimley and Paul Rudd are in a Dorian Gray type situation.

[3:25] Yes.

[3:26] Where all of Paul Rudd's age and sins were heaped onto Wilford Brimley.

[3:31] Yeah.

Stuart Wellington

[3:31] Guys.

[3:32] I forgot about the sins part.

[3:33] That's the crazy part of that story.

[3:36] It's also the sins.

Elliott Kalan

[3:37] It's not just the age.

[3:39] Although you have to imagine Dorian Gray was like hurling himself off buildings to break

[3:42] his portraits bones.

[3:44] And then he'd just walk away and go, see you around, portrait.

[3:46] He called his portrait portrait.

Dan McCoy

[3:48] Guys.

[3:49] What normally happens to minis is what is happening to this introduction to this live episode.

[3:55] The point of what we're trying to say is as a thank you to all who gave to the MaxFunDrive

[4:01] supporting us and as a final encouragement to those who may be still on the fence, we are

[4:09] taking this opportunity to release one of our live shows, one of the best of our live shows

[4:15] I think.

[4:16] The shows we did in Boston were very good and we've been hanging on to these for God knows

[4:21] what reason.

[4:22] But now we are releasing them into the wild.

[4:25] If they come back to us, they love us.

[4:27] And this one is the Alita Battle Angel episode where we learn of my purported love for backstory,

[4:38] which is not actually a thing that exists, but has been referenced several times on the

[4:44] show despite this episode not having come out before now.

Elliott Kalan

[4:49] Let's let the listeners make that judgment when they listen to the tapes.

Stuart Wellington

[4:53] Yeah, I'm looking forward to Dan re-listen to this one and being like, oh my God, they've

[4:57] been right all along.

[4:59] Time to make amends to my two friends, Stuart and Elliot, who I have slandered all this time.

Elliott Kalan

[5:04] So if you wouldn't mind while listening to this episode, why don't you become a battle angel

[5:10] of your own and go to MaximumFun.org slash join, the battle of course being the battle against

[5:15] podcasters not making enough to keep their podcasts going and the angel being you, an angel investor

[5:22] who has decided to give us upwards of $100,000, who knows, per month.

[5:28] And from you.

[5:30] So there's lots of good levels that you can donate at from as little as $5 a month to as

[5:36] much as, I mean, if you're going to offer us $100,000 a month, we're not going to turn

[5:39] it down.

[5:41] The prizes stop at a certain level, but you can keep going if you want.

[5:45] But we really appreciate it.

[5:47] We are, as always, very humbled that so many of our listeners have decided to show us their

[5:53] appreciation.

[5:54] This has been a really great MaxFunDrive, and we know again, as we've said many times,

[5:58] this is a hard time for everybody, a hard target time, not just for Wilford Brimley's family,

[6:03] but for all of us.

[6:04] And we appreciate every ounce of support we've gotten from you guys and gals and also non-binary

[6:11] gender identifying people and listeners.

[6:14] You've been really, really wonderful to us, and we hope you enjoy this episode for now.

Dan McCoy

[6:21] On this episode, we discuss Alita Battle Angel, live in Boston, Massachusetts!

Stuart Wellington

[6:39] Too much.

Elliott Kalan

[6:44] We were in danger of breaking the fire code, but you guys were doing great.

[6:47] I have to admit, I'm guilty of egging them on a little bit.

[6:52] You said that as if it was a pun or something.

[6:55] I don't know what.

Dan McCoy

[6:57] All right.

[6:57] Boston is famous for its eggs.

[7:00] Hey, everyone, and welcome to the Flophouse.

[7:02] I'm Dan McCoy.

Elliott Kalan

[7:03] Oh, I'm Stuart Wellington.

[7:04] Over here, Elliot Kalin at the end of the table.

[7:07] What table is this, Dan?

[7:08] Where are we?

[7:08] What's going on?

[7:09] What's happening?

Dan McCoy

[7:10] I mean, we are in Boston, as Stuart said literally moments before.

Elliott Kalan

[7:14] Whether in person or on the podcast, you would have heard Boston.

[7:18] That's for people who, like, they started the podcast playing, and then they were like,

[7:22] I got to use the bathroom.

[7:23] I'll just let it play, and I'll miss the theme song.

[7:25] And they didn't hear the part where he said in Boston.

Stuart Wellington

[7:27] Okay.

[7:27] Or people who start the podcast, they're like, I want the movie that they watch to be a surprise.

[7:31] So they put fingers in their ears, and they go, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[7:35] So it doesn't, that's the exact sound that counteracts the sounds of our voice.

[7:39] It doesn't work.

[7:39] Yeah, scientifically, we had a study done.

Elliott Kalan

[7:41] We had a study done at MIT.

[7:45] A regional place.

[7:48] Dan, what do we do on this podcast?

[7:50] Do I normally pander about MIT?

[7:52] Or is this something we don't usually do?

Dan McCoy

[7:55] I don't know about your personal life, but on the show, I've never heard you pander about MIT.

[7:59] We are in Boston.

[8:00] We are doing a live show where we talk about a bad movie that we watched, or maybe not so bad.

[8:06] We'll see at the end of the night.

[8:08] We watched Alita Battle Angel.

Elliott Kalan

[8:10] That's right.

[8:10] We're going to be here all night, everybody, until we hash out whether this was a good movie or not.

[8:14] Lock the doors.

[8:16] No, Dan, you just started a WTF episode.

[8:19] Oh, no.

Dan McCoy

[8:22] Something about coughing and crap in my pants?

[8:25] I don't know.

Elliott Kalan

[8:25] Yeah, stamps.com.

[8:26] Yeah.

[8:27] Cats.

[8:28] Who are your guys?

[8:30] Where are you from?

[8:30] Who are your guys?

[8:31] What did your dad do for a living?

[8:32] Why doesn't Lorne like me?

Dan McCoy

[8:36] Just kidding.

[8:36] I love his show.

[8:37] Stuart.

[8:38] Wow.

[8:38] Stuart.

Stuart Wellington

[8:38] Now, you took notes on this one.

[8:39] Oh, man.

[8:40] I did.

[8:40] So, the movie begins with a logo.

[8:43] A production company logo.

[8:45] Yeah.

[8:46] We're digging in deep, apparently.

[8:47] Now you're waiting for it.

[8:49] No one loves production company logos more than Stuart Wellington.

[8:52] Is that?

[8:53] It looks like the 20th century Fox logo, but it's slightly different.

[8:57] That's right, because it's 26th century Fox.

Elliott Kalan

[9:00] This isn't your daddy's Fox logo.

[9:03] No, it's your great, great, great, great, great, great grandson or daughter's Fox logo.

[9:09] Unless your daddy is James Cameron, in which case it would be.

[9:12] Okay, so...

[9:13] What if your daddy was Kang the Conqueror and he brought it back from the future to you?

[9:17] Uh-huh.

[9:17] But there's only one guy whose daddy is Kang the Conqueror, and that's that weirdo who messed with Captain Marvel.

[9:23] I don't like him.

[9:24] Let's not even talk about him anymore.

Stuart Wellington

[9:27] I didn't know why he brought him up in the first place.

[9:29] The year is 2,563, year of our lord.

[9:37] It is 300 years...

[9:38] It's a movie about an angel.

[9:39] Okay, yeah, sure.

[9:40] It is 300 years after the fall.

[9:41] Of course, not after the fall of Lucifer, which happened much, much before this.

Dan McCoy

[9:45] Or after the movie The Fall, Elliot's...

[9:48] One of my favorites.

[9:48] Nor is this a legend of the fall, as I think we've already covered.

Elliott Kalan

[9:51] It might be 300 years after the last ever fall.

[9:55] Climate change, everybody.

[9:56] Am I right?

[9:56] Oh, yeah.

[9:57] Days get shorter.

[9:58] Like, you did that as if I...

[10:00] By speaking the idea, I've made it appear.

[10:03] Uh-huh.

Stuart Wellington

[10:05] Deal with it, everybody.

[10:06] So we open on a giant scrap heap that is underneath a floating city,

[10:11] and we see a scientist digging through that scrap,

[10:14] and he finds a...

[10:16] Like, the half of a lady robot?

[10:19] A young woman robot?

[10:20] Like the head and neck area.

[10:21] Uh-huh.

[10:22] And he's like, it's still alive, and he hoists it up in the air,

[10:25] and we have...

[10:26] It's kind of like our title card, right?

[10:28] Even though we don't have a title card.

[10:29] This is like the opening shot.

[10:30] Yeah, and who's the scientist?

[10:32] The scientist is a fellow named Edo.

[10:34] He's played, of course, by Christoph Waltz, who is a fine actor.

[10:38] He's fine.

[10:39] Whoa.

[10:40] Whoa.

[10:40] He's not here, right?

Elliott Kalan

[10:41] Stewart had a lot of anti-Christoph Waltz words while we were watching it.

[10:46] He's fine.

Dan McCoy

[10:47] Why are you mad?

[10:49] I said he's fine.

[10:50] Why are you so, like, uh, like, pugilist, like, like, belligerent with the audience about Christoph Waltz?

[10:56] Are you afraid they're going to rush the stage?

Stuart Wellington

[10:58] I'm being belligerent with you.

[10:59] Okay.

[11:00] You're texting him.

[11:03] So he takes this living robot back to his house, and he and his assistant build a body for this robot.

[11:11] She wakes up and checks all of her eyes.

Dan McCoy

[11:13] The natural thing you do when you find a head.

[11:16] She wakes up and, like...

[11:16] Take it home.

Elliott Kalan

[11:17] I mean, if you are a robotic scientist and you find a robot's head, you would probably take it home.

[11:22] Would you?

Dan McCoy

[11:23] Now, you've opened up an interesting question.

Elliott Kalan

[11:26] Now I have to put myself in the situation of a robotics scientist in the future.

[11:32] Okay, I'm Christoph Waltz.

[11:33] I feel like you can play that role.

[11:34] Yeah, okay.

[11:35] I'm thinking.

[11:35] I won a very deserved Academy Award and then a not quite as deserved other Academy Award for playing kind of the same character.

[11:42] He's fine.

[11:43] He's great.

[11:44] Then, okay.

[11:45] I'm digging through a trash heap.

[11:47] It's the future.

[11:48] It's like Wall-E but live action.

[11:49] Floating City.

[11:50] You don't see that every day except you do these days because it's the future.

[11:53] And I found this thing.

[11:55] This is weird.

[11:56] It's like a person's head.

[11:57] I better call the police.

[11:58] No, wait.

[11:58] It's got wires coming out of it.

[12:00] It's a robot's head.

[12:01] If only I knew someone who knew how to build robots.

[12:03] I know how to build robots.

[12:05] Yeah, I think I would take it home.

[12:06] All right.

Stuart Wellington

[12:07] Well, I guess I've been schooled.

[12:10] So this young robot wakes up in a little kid's room and starts examining her body.

[12:16] She goes.

[12:17] She rushes downstairs.

[12:19] She's force-fed an orange.

[12:20] What?

Elliott Kalan

[12:20] Lifts up her blankets as if to check that she has all the parts or maybe just her legs.

[12:25] It was weird.

[12:25] It was a little weird.

[12:27] Hey, I mean, I'm not a robot.

Stuart Wellington

[12:30] So she talks with Ido and Ido starts to fill in some of the blanks.

[12:34] That is just what a robot would say, though.

[12:37] It is.

[12:37] Except the robot would have been like, I'm not a robot.

[12:39] Beep boop.

[12:40] Give me some oil, dudes.

[12:42] Maybe he's saving the beep boop for later.

[12:43] Yeah.

[12:44] So Ido begins to fill in the blanks for her.

[12:47] And he also, she doesn't remember anything.

[12:50] She doesn't even have a name.

[12:52] Of course, he jumps at that opportunity and names her Alita.

[12:55] And we're like, whoa, did you already have that just sitting there in the front of your memory banks?

Dan McCoy

[12:58] And at this point, it's clarified that she has a human brain, right?

[13:02] Which I guess was somehow preserved in the junk heap that she was in.

Elliott Kalan

[13:06] In her magic robot.

[13:07] And let's talk a little bit about this robot.

[13:10] Oh, Stuart just stood up.

[13:11] He's going to school this audience on, I don't know on what, actually.

Stuart Wellington

[13:15] I don't want to spend too much time talking about the design of this robot.

[13:18] It is clearly digitally enhanced.

[13:22] She has very accentuated features.

[13:24] You might call her a brattle angel.

[13:28] You're welcome.

[13:31] Scattered applause.

Dan McCoy

[13:35] So she's striking.

Elliott Kalan

[13:37] By that, you're saying that she has large eyes in her head.

[13:41] Yeah.

[13:41] Her eyes are digitally larger than a person's eyes would be.

Stuart Wellington

[13:44] Yeah, which is at first unnerving, but you get used to it.

[13:47] You get used to it.

Elliott Kalan

[13:47] It's like if you met a Disney princess on the street.

[13:49] At first, you'd be like, oh.

[13:51] Your eyes take up two-thirds of your head.

[13:53] But over time, as you got to know her, maybe fall in love with her,

[13:56] you'd come to not just get used to and tolerate that,

[13:59] but come to love it as something that's special to her.

[14:01] And only her and her race, Disney princesses.

Dan McCoy

[14:04] And eventually, you'd be like, you know what?

Elliott Kalan

[14:07] I just hope that my children get this when they're born.

[14:10] And when they do, they'll have one regular eye

[14:12] and one giant Disney princess eye.

[14:14] And you're like, no, it's the worst of all possible combinations.

[14:17] Why'd you do this to us, Gregor Mendel?

Dan McCoy

[14:21] That's one for the college students in the audience.

Stuart Wellington

[14:27] Again, we don't have much time.

[14:29] Okay, so she's named Alita.

[14:32] She wanders around with Edo as he introduces her to this place,

[14:35] Iron City, part of the, like, scrap heap that is underneath a floating city

[14:39] called Zalem, which is kind of like this beautiful paradise in the clouds

[14:44] that they all wish they could be part of.

[14:45] But instead, they live in Iron City, which is actually pretty nice.

Elliott Kalan

[14:49] Iron City is supposed to be like kind of this, like, junkyard slum.

[14:53] But to be honest, it's like...

[14:54] It's pretty...

[14:55] It's as bright as a Fonda commercial.

[14:57] It's like a part of Brooklyn that is most of the way gentrified,

[15:02] but not totally gentrified.

[15:04] And so in the background, you have, like, a few people

[15:07] who have, like, robot parts, and they look really futuristic.

[15:09] Just like Brooklyn.

[15:09] Yeah, but then you've got mostly people with, like, T-shirts and jeans

[15:13] who are just kicking it, walking around.

[15:14] There are great sidewalk cafes.

[15:16] I'm sure there's a used bookstore.

Stuart Wellington

[15:18] Oh, I'm sure, yeah.

[15:19] There's a lot of crowd shots in this movie

[15:22] where you'll see...

[15:23] It'll be just like a guy in a regular jersey,

[15:25] just, like, hanging out watching motorball.

[15:27] But we'll get to that.

[15:28] So she's...

[15:29] He gives her quite an info dump.

[15:31] He explains all about this situation.

[15:33] He introduces her to a young, handsome scamp named Hugo,

[15:38] who's like your regular urchin, right?

[15:40] A regular urchin boy.

[15:41] Yeah, he's like...

[15:42] Drives a...

[15:42] A regular urchin.

[15:43] Yeah, lives in the sea, spiny.

Elliott Kalan

[15:45] His eggs are delicious.

[15:47] A lot of umami.

Stuart Wellington

[15:49] Drives a motorized unicycle, just like Brooklyn.

Dan McCoy

[15:53] I mean, to be honest.

[15:55] Or he wears a top hat and encourages you to pick pockets.

[15:58] That's the other...

[15:59] That's the other kind of urchin.

[15:59] Basic urchin.

[16:00] Yeah, basic urchin.

Elliott Kalan

[16:01] He's a real basic bitch urchin.

[16:02] Yeah.

[16:03] He's like a handsome little bit bad boy

[16:06] who sells robot parts and, yeah,

[16:09] rides that motorized unicycle.

[16:10] Yeah.

Stuart Wellington

[16:10] Yeah, and we're also introduced

[16:12] that the only police force in this town

[16:14] are these, like, giant robot things

[16:16] called centurions.

[16:19] We're introduced to a character named Kyron, I believe,

[16:22] who is a medical professional

[16:24] who is Ito's ex-wife.

[16:26] And they talk a little bit about

[16:27] how they lost a child,

[16:29] they lost a daughter together.

[16:30] What was...

[16:31] Wait, what was her name?

[16:34] Her name was also Alita.

[16:36] What a coincidence.

[16:38] What a strange coincidence.

[16:39] It must be a pretty common name.

[16:41] And it's not at all weird

[16:42] to name a robot after your...

[16:44] And what...

[16:45] I don't know about how people

[16:46] deal with trauma.

[16:47] And what other surprisingly

[16:48] common profession do we learn about?

[16:52] We learn about the hunter warriors?

[16:54] Is that what you're talking about?

[16:55] Yes, I believe so.

[16:56] So in lieu of a police force,

[16:57] if people commit crimes of, I guess,

[17:00] a pretty extreme nature,

[17:01] they get a little wanted poster

[17:03] and then people can take out a contract

[17:05] to go and murder them

[17:06] and chop off their head and make money.

Elliott Kalan

[17:07] Like the bounty,

[17:08] the bounty is only collectible with death.

[17:10] And you take your head

[17:11] to a little talking soda can robot

[17:13] who's like,

[17:13] why are you here?

[17:14] It's the most Wizard of Oz moments

[17:16] in the whole movie.

[17:17] And then you drop the head in a slot

[17:19] and they're like,

[17:19] here are your credits.

[17:21] That's pretty much it.

Dan McCoy

[17:22] Do you think people ever,

[17:23] like how in old cartoons

[17:24] they have a little slug

[17:25] that they put on a string

[17:27] and get sodas that way?

[17:30] People have a head on a string

[17:31] that they pull the head back out afterwards.

[17:33] People have been getting credits

[17:34] on one head for you.

[17:35] Have you ever tried that trick?

[17:37] Me?

[17:39] Yeah.

[17:39] I mean, I'm not from the 20s.

[17:41] No, but...

[17:41] Okay.

[17:43] Or, I mean, with a head.

Stuart Wellington

[17:44] I mean, yes.

Dan McCoy

[17:46] Yes, I have.

[17:47] Yeah, put a head on a string.

Elliott Kalan

[17:48] Just trying to get you to yes and this bit.

[17:51] Here's the thing you need to know about Dan.

[17:53] He's the only one of the three of us

[17:54] who has had improv training, I think,

[17:55] and yet he never yes ands.

[17:58] Because, frankly, the things you say are absurd.

[18:02] Only a lunatic would say yes

[18:04] to the things you say.

Stuart Wellington

[18:05] I apologize.

[18:07] So, Ido is talking to Kyron,

[18:10] who is his ex-wife,

[18:12] and she's played by Jennifer Connelly,

[18:14] and she's great.

[18:15] And she is apparently trying

[18:16] to buy her way into Zalem,

[18:18] which is, Ido doesn't believe is possible,

[18:21] and she's trying to buy her way

[18:23] through the help of a fellow named Vector,

[18:26] who runs Motorball.

[18:29] Tell us about that.

[18:30] There's a lot of information here.

[18:32] Tell us.

[18:32] I've got to wade through it all.

[18:33] We also learn of a dude named Zapan,

[18:35] and we learn about that there's no guns.

Dan McCoy

[18:37] Sounds kind of nice, actually.

Stuart Wellington

[18:40] And more about the hunter warriors.

Dan McCoy

[18:41] There's no guns thing

[18:42] will make more sense of what happens later,

[18:46] which is all of the weapons seem to be

[18:47] either sword-based or chains

[18:50] that people throw at people's base.

[18:51] Yeah.

Elliott Kalan

[18:52] It's like an entire world

[18:54] that only knows Samurais and Ghost Rider.

[18:57] Oh, man.

[18:58] That's pretty cool.

[18:59] It's pretty cool.

Stuart Wellington

[19:00] So, Alita goes running off

[19:03] through the streets,

[19:04] and she bumps into her pal Hugo,

[19:06] who he and his pals

[19:07] are playing a game called Motorball,

[19:09] which involves riding around

[19:10] on rocket-powered roller skates.

[19:13] I think rocket-powered

[19:14] is a bit much.

[19:15] Motorized.

[19:15] Yeah, they're like pushing a button

[19:17] in their hand

[19:18] and then shoots them around.

[19:19] Now, how is this motorball

[19:20] compared to, say, a rollerball?

[19:22] It's pretty similar.

[19:24] I mean, there's a ball,

[19:26] and they roll,

[19:27] and there's only one robot

[19:28] that I know of involved,

[19:29] but later on,

[19:30] there's a lot of robots.

[19:31] So, did I answer your question?

[19:33] Case closed, counselor.

[19:35] So, we get a scene

[19:36] that's like a little bit

[19:37] of a romantic courtship,

[19:39] because Alita clearly,

[19:40] from the first moment

[19:41] she laid her giant eyes on him,

[19:43] is in love with Hugo.

[19:45] I mean, he's a dreamboat,

[19:47] and he kind of is interested in her,

[19:49] but, you know,

[19:49] he's a little girl.

Dan McCoy

[19:50] He's also kind of like

[19:50] the first non-dad dude she sees.

[19:54] Like, she kind of imprints upon him

[19:55] like a baby duck,

[19:57] like a little bit.

Stuart Wellington

[19:58] Yeah, that's a good point.

[19:59] Yeah.

[19:59] As soon as she sees him,

[20:00] she goes,

[20:00] oh, want that.

[20:02] Yeah.

[20:02] Uh-huh.

[20:03] Yeah.

[20:03] And that all,

[20:04] I mean,

[20:05] that kind of drives her narrative

[20:06] for the rest of the movie,

[20:07] but we'll get to that.

[20:07] So, she rides around.

[20:09] She is much better at motorball

[20:10] than anyone else.

[20:12] And she,

[20:14] let's see,

[20:14] what other things do we learn?

[20:16] We learn that there is somebody

[20:17] going around Iron City

[20:18] murdering people.

[20:19] She suspects that it's her father

[20:22] because he's covered in blood

[20:23] at one point.

[20:24] I mean, come on.

[20:26] Who is it?

[20:28] It's inside all of us.

Elliott Kalan

[20:30] Yeah, that's the thing, Stuart.

[20:31] It usually stays inside.

[20:33] Right.

[20:33] If it's covering outside of the movie,

[20:35] there's no problem.

[20:37] It's very rare that, like,

[20:39] you just spring a leak

[20:40] and it just gets on you,

[20:41] like a pen broke or something.

Stuart Wellington

[20:43] So, Ido dons the,

[20:45] Ido dons the garb of

[20:48] what we will later learn

[20:49] to be a hunter warrior,

[20:51] which is a cool black leather duster

[20:54] and a giant, like, preacher's hat.

Elliott Kalan

[20:56] And he's got this enormous,

[20:58] unwieldy reaper.

[20:59] Yeah, I mean, he's like,

[21:00] a rocket-powered hammer, yeah.

Dan McCoy

[21:02] A hyper hammer that's, like,

[21:03] basically, like, the size of, like,

[21:04] Ronan the Accuser's hammer.

[21:06] Yeah.

[21:06] And he's just Christoph Waltz,

[21:07] like, walking around with him,

[21:08] like a normal dude.

[21:09] It's crazy.

[21:10] Yeah, it's like,

[21:11] like, if you were going to a store

[21:13] and you're like,

[21:13] oh, I mean,

[21:14] I think...

[21:14] I have a weapon to go, like,

[21:15] kill evil, like, cyborgs.

[21:17] I think you would choose something

[21:18] that you could, like,

Elliott Kalan

[21:19] wield easily.

[21:20] Something that wasn't twice your height.

[21:22] Exactly.

[21:22] So that you could get it

[21:23] through doorways.

[21:24] Exactly.

[21:25] Like, let's say this.

[21:26] You're a hunter killer.

[21:28] You know there's a bounty on a guy...

[21:30] Hunter warrior.

[21:30] Hunter warrior, sorry.

[21:31] You're a hunter warrior.

[21:32] Sorry, I denobilized it.

[21:35] You find a bounty on a guy

[21:37] who's, like,

[21:38] four T stops away.

[21:40] Local.

[21:41] And, thank you.

[21:43] You know what?

[21:45] You're not going to make it

[21:46] up here in time if you walk.

[21:47] You're going to have to take the train.

[21:49] How are you going to get

[21:49] that thing through the doors?

[21:50] The doors keep closing

[21:51] on your big scythe hammer.

[21:53] Everyone on the train is like,

[21:54] come on.

[21:55] Can we speed it up?

[21:56] Let's go, guys.

[21:58] It reminds me of a time...

[21:59] Yep.

[22:00] I was on the New York City subway.

[22:02] A crowded train.

[22:04] And, yeah, boo, boo.

[22:06] Oh, the MTA, boo.

[22:07] Boo, we hate actual city.

[22:09] I mean, no.

Dan McCoy

[22:09] Oh.

[22:11] Oh.

[22:12] Yeah.

[22:12] Wow.

[22:13] Heel turn.

[22:14] Heel turn.

Elliott Kalan

[22:16] A guy brought on

[22:18] an entire bookcase

[22:21] made out of, you know,

[22:23] those, like,

[22:24] erector set type metal pieces.

[22:26] Uh-huh, yeah.

[22:26] Took up a lot of space.

[22:27] And this other guy

[22:28] stayed next to him

[22:29] and was going,

[22:30] hey, what are you thinking, pal?

[22:31] Come on.

[22:32] What are you doing?

[22:33] Hey.

[22:34] And then...

[22:35] That guy was

[22:36] one of the Ninja Turtles.

[22:37] Yeah.

[22:38] And at the next stop,

[22:39] the heckler got off

[22:40] and he goes,

[22:41] this is going to be

[22:41] the best part.

[22:42] And as he walks off the train,

[22:43] I hear him say,

[22:44] hey, check out the numb nuts

[22:45] with the shelves.

[22:48] And that is New York

[22:49] in a nutshell.

[22:51] Wait, he also,

[22:52] he hype-manned

[22:53] his own closing remark.

[22:54] Yes.

[22:54] He said,

[22:55] this is going to be

[22:55] the best part.

[22:56] And he was getting

[22:57] the most joy

[22:58] out of announcing

[22:58] to the people

[22:59] who are about

[22:59] to get on the train

[23:01] that there's some idiot

[23:02] a numb nuts,

[23:03] in his word.

[23:04] A man whose nuts

[23:05] have no feeling.

[23:07] They are numb,

[23:08] whether through cold

[23:09] or nerve damage,

[23:11] To the point that

[23:13] it's affected his thinking

[23:14] and he doesn't know

[23:14] that it's stupid

[23:15] to bring a whole set

[23:16] of shelves

[23:17] onto a crowded

[23:18] subway train.

[23:19] And so,

[23:20] I would say to Christoph Waltz,

[23:22] try a smaller weapon.

[23:26] Thank you.

[23:29] Unearned.

Dan McCoy

[23:29] Totally unearned.

Stuart Wellington

[23:31] And that's the weapon monologue.

[23:34] So, yeah,

[23:35] it turns out that

[23:36] Alita's fears were for naught

[23:38] because her father figure,

[23:40] Ito,

[23:40] is not a murderer.

[23:41] No, no, no.

[23:42] He just kills people

[23:43] as a hunter warrior.

[23:45] And she interrupts

[23:46] his attempt

[23:47] to catch some prey,

[23:48] which is a bunch

[23:49] of all metal people

[23:51] with human faces.

[23:53] And they have

[23:54] a cool fight

[23:54] and she kills them all

[23:57] and has a,

[23:58] kills all but one of them

[23:59] and has this triggered memory

[24:01] where she's on the moon

[24:02] and she's fighting people

[24:03] and jumping around

[24:04] and it's crazy.

[24:05] And then the,

[24:07] She's obviously

[24:08] some kind of battle bot.

[24:09] Yeah,

[24:09] she's clearly a battle bot.

[24:10] She kicks the arm off of,

Elliott Kalan

[24:12] Like a Comedy Central battle bot?

[24:13] Yeah,

[24:13] she's just like a flat disc

[24:14] with one saw on it.

[24:16] And she's just

[24:16] bumping into a wall

[24:18] over and over again

[24:19] while the play-by-play

[24:20] announcers

[24:21] try desperately

[24:21] to make it seem entertaining.

[24:23] Now,

[24:23] how does she feel

[24:24] about yanking cranks?

[24:25] Here's the thing.

[24:26] She is pro-crank yanking

[24:28] when it's done

[24:28] by a puppet

[24:29] or artificial human.

[24:30] Okay.

[24:30] When done by a meat puppet,

[24:32] a biological human,

[24:33] she can stay for defensive.

[24:34] Okay.

[24:35] Yeah.

[24:35] Checks out.

[24:36] Anyway, Stuart?

[24:37] By the way,

[24:37] if anyone has seen

[24:38] any cranks

[24:39] that are in need of yanking,

[24:40] contact Comedy Central,

[24:41] care of Viacom Entertainment,

[24:44] care of Dan McCoy.

[24:46] Show's coming back, baby,

[24:47] for some reason.

[24:51] What's better?

[24:52] What better time

[24:53] for a prank call show

[24:54] than an era

[24:54] where nobody picks up

[24:55] their phone

[24:56] if they don't recognize

[24:57] the number?

[24:58] It's calling out for it.

Stuart Wellington

[25:02] Caller ID says,

[25:04] crank yankers.

Dan McCoy

[25:06] That can't be right.

[25:07] It says,

[25:08] rude puppet.

[25:09] I better pick it up.

[25:10] At this point,

[25:11] every time I answer a call,

[25:13] my crank is being yanked

[25:14] by someone who wants

[25:15] to sell me

[25:16] some sort of vehicle insurance

[25:17] for a vehicle I don't own.

[25:18] So,

[25:19] I've been yanked.

[25:20] Anyway.

[25:21] I've been yanked.

[25:22] I'm Dan McCoy.

[25:24] For the yanked,

[25:25] it's me.

Elliott Kalan

[25:26] My caller ID says,

[25:27] boys comma jerky.

[25:28] Speaker for the yanked.

Stuart Wellington

[25:31] Sorry,

[25:31] you were saying,

[25:32] Stuart.

[25:33] So,

[25:34] what I was saying is,

[25:35] there's one giant,

[25:36] weird-looking robot

[25:37] named Grewishka?

[25:41] Grewishka.

[25:41] Who gets his arm kicked off

[25:42] and he's like,

[25:43] I'll never forget you

[25:44] and then jumps down a hole.

Elliott Kalan

[25:46] Now,

[25:47] this is something

[25:47] Grewishka is going to

[25:48] continue to do

[25:49] is get his ass handed to him

[25:51] and then yell,

[25:51] Grewishka will remember this

[25:52] and run away.

Stuart Wellington

[25:54] Okay.

[25:55] So,

[25:56] at this point,

[25:56] we then cut back

[25:58] into a beautiful high rise

[26:00] where we see Vector

[26:01] and Kyron

[26:01] having a conversation.

[26:03] Vector,

[26:04] of course,

[26:04] is played by Mahershala Ali,

[26:05] another Oscar winner.

[26:07] This is a very stacked cast,

[26:09] by the way.

[26:09] Yeah,

Elliott Kalan

[26:09] the cast is very good.

[26:11] I mean,

[26:11] for a movie with a big budget,

[26:13] they could afford great actors

[26:15] and he has a performance

[26:16] we'll get to later in the movie

[26:17] that I think is a genuinely

[26:18] great scene on his part.

Stuart Wellington

[26:20] So,

[26:21] Grewishka shows up,

[26:22] his arm's been kicked off,

[26:23] he ain't happy about it.

[26:24] He's like,

[26:24] oh,

[26:25] I'm gonna kill that Alita.

[26:26] Meanwhile,

[26:27] all of a sudden,

[26:28] he starts acting weird

[26:29] and it appears like

[26:30] he is being controlled

[26:31] by someone else

[26:32] and we're introduced to

[26:33] yet another character

[26:34] named Nova.

[26:37] That's it.

[26:37] Your eyes go blue

[26:39] and Nova can control you.

[26:40] He also can control Vector.

[26:43] Uh,

[26:44] okay.

[26:44] I guess that's it.

[26:46] He seems to be like

[26:47] the big bad guy.

[26:48] Yeah.

[26:48] And everybody can't stop

[26:49] talking about Alita.

[26:51] We now,

[26:52] uh,

[26:52] Alita and Hugo

[26:53] go on a date

[26:54] to the Motorball Stadium

[26:55] where a bunch of robots

[26:56] ride around on a track

[26:58] and break each other

[26:59] and try and carry a ball

[27:00] somewhere.

[27:01] The ball is not that important.

[27:03] Now,

Elliott Kalan

[27:03] when you say robots,

[27:04] I just want to clarify,

[27:05] they are mostly cyborgs

[27:07] with human heads

[27:08] but entirely robot bodies

[27:09] and their arms

[27:11] have like big blades

[27:12] and buzz saws

[27:12] which makes me wonder,

[27:14] what are these guys doing

[27:15] when it's not motorball time?

[27:16] Like,

[27:17] what are they doing

[27:18] with all those buzz saws

Stuart Wellington

[27:19] when it's not time to fight?

[27:20] Do you think they stick

[27:21] their head on a different body?

[27:22] Like,

[27:23] like,

[27:24] normally when I'm not

[27:25] motorballing,

[27:25] I like my head to be

[27:26] on a gardener bot body.

[27:28] Yeah,

[27:28] maybe.

[27:29] I could see that.

[27:30] I like to be in a body

[27:31] that's a saw blade

[27:32] or just like a triangle of wood

[27:35] that can flip other bots over.

[27:38] Oh,

[27:39] you're saying

[27:39] so they get more battle body.

Dan McCoy

[27:40] Yeah.

[27:41] By the way,

[27:42] those streets are tough, Elliot.

[27:44] By the way,

[27:44] for anyone who did not watch

[27:45] Alita before the show,

[27:46] like,

[27:47] having watched Alita,

[27:49] I flash on when Stuart

[27:50] is telling about the movie

[27:51] to like,

[27:52] this must be how anyone

[27:53] who does not care

[27:54] about science fiction feels

[27:55] when someone tries to explain

[27:57] a science fiction thing.

[27:58] They're like,

[27:59] because then Vector

[28:00] is in charge of the motorball

[28:01] and Alita goes there

[28:02] and like,

[28:03] oh God,

[28:03] just stop it.

[28:04] Just,

[28:04] oh,

[28:05] whatever.

Elliott Kalan

[28:05] Whatever you're selling to me,

[28:06] I'll buy it.

[28:07] It reminds me of the time

[28:08] Tom Brokaw

[28:09] wouldn't stop talking to me

[28:10] about Dune.

[28:13] Hey,

[28:14] Elliot,

[28:15] here's the gist of the story.

[28:18] It's the tale of Paul Atreides,

[28:21] young heir to house Atreides,

[28:25] and how he manages to win the war

[28:28] for Arrakis,

[28:29] not by dominating the planet,

[28:32] but by losing himself

[28:35] in the culture of the freemen.

[28:37] It's spelled Fremen,

[28:38] and so for quite some time,

[28:41] I thought it was pronounced Fremen.

[28:44] Now,

[28:44] the interesting thing about the book,

[28:48] although all of it is interesting,

[28:50] Tom,

[28:51] we have another show tonight.

[28:53] I'll be happy to tell them

[28:55] about Dune as well.

[29:01] Greatest hits.

[29:02] Stu,

[29:03] take it away.

Stuart Wellington

[29:05] Hugo has a conversation

[29:10] with Vector

[29:11] at the motorball arena,

[29:13] and Vector gets him

[29:14] and his crew of buddies

[29:16] to don masks

[29:18] and attack another motorball guy

[29:21] and chop off his arm

[29:23] so they can get his precious

[29:24] grind cutter.

[29:26] We'll be seeing more of that later.

Elliott Kalan

[29:27] Which is like he can,

[29:28] there's like blades

[29:29] at the end of chains

[29:30] that he has like finger chain blades

[29:32] that fly out.

Stuart Wellington

[29:33] His fingers turn into chain blades

[29:34] that fly out.

[29:35] I mean,

[29:35] everybody knows

[29:36] what a grind cutter is.

Elliott Kalan

[29:38] Sorry.

[29:38] I'm sorry.

[29:39] I forgot.

[29:39] I forgot this was Boston.

[29:40] Thank you.

[29:41] Or I'm sure a grind cutter

[29:42] is a kind of sandwich.

Stuart Wellington

[29:45] So yeah,

[29:46] they like jump this dude

[29:48] and chop his arms off.

[29:49] It's really messed up.

[29:50] Okay,

[29:51] the next day,

[29:53] Hugo and his friends,

[29:55] including Alita,

[29:56] go on a date

[29:56] into the Badlands

[29:58] where they find

[29:59] an Irm warship

[30:01] that has been crash landed.

[30:03] Now,

[30:03] you're probably wondering,

[30:05] what's this Irm

[30:06] Stuart's talking about?

[30:07] The whole time,

[30:08] Dan was like,

[30:09] tell me more about Irm.

[30:10] It's making my worm squirm.

Dan McCoy

[30:13] This was a big argument

[30:14] we had during the thing

[30:16] because it becomes clear

[30:17] that Alita is one of these Irm

[30:19] who...

[30:20] It's like the United Republic of Mars

[30:22] or something.

[30:22] Yeah,

[30:23] they were the ones...

[30:23] Yeah,

[30:23] Irm,

[30:24] dude.

[30:25] They were the ones

[30:25] that Earth was fighting

[30:26] the ledge of the fall

[30:28] and I'm like,

[30:29] all through the movie,

[30:29] I'm like,

[30:30] this is going to be addressed

[30:30] at some point,

[30:31] right?

[30:31] That she's one of these Irm?

[30:32] Like,

[30:33] this is going to happen?

[30:33] It's going to cause

[30:34] conflict,

Elliott Kalan

[30:35] yeah.

[30:35] This is because

[30:36] as I was saying to Dan,

[30:37] it's like he was watching

[30:38] Star Wars

[30:38] and Luke says,

[30:39] you fall with my father

[30:40] in the Clone Wars

[30:41] and Dan was like,

[30:41] why won't they stop

[30:42] and tell me more

[30:42] about the Clone Wars?

[30:44] I'm enjoying this adventure

[30:45] too much.

[30:45] I want a history lesson.

[30:47] That would make sense

Dan McCoy

[30:48] if Luke had fought

[30:49] in the Clone Wars

[30:50] and they never mentioned it again.

[30:52] Our main character...

[30:53] Then how about this?

[30:53] You are...

[30:54] He's part of the enemy combatants

[30:55] and it's never addressed.

[30:56] So here,

Elliott Kalan

[30:57] Dan,

[30:58] okay,

[30:58] let's say this.

[31:00] Let's say

[31:00] we're less than 300 years

[31:02] from the Revolutionary War,

[31:04] Boston,

[31:04] and let's say

[31:06] out of hibernation

[31:08] a British soldier,

[31:10] a Tory or somewhat,

[31:11] appeared,

[31:12] when people would be like,

[31:13] get the fuck out of here,

[31:14] dude,

[31:14] we fought you away.

[31:15] They'd be like,

[31:16] hey,

[31:16] what's the fuck you like?

[31:16] Take off that bearskin cap.

[31:18] Yeah,

[31:18] they'd be like,

[31:19] hey,

[31:19] what's going on?

[31:20] We don't have

[31:21] old 300 year grudges

[31:22] well,

[31:22] some people do.

Dan McCoy

[31:23] That Tory was from

[31:23] another planet

[31:24] and they were the last one.

[31:25] How about that,

[31:26] Elliot?

[31:27] I'd want to meet them

[31:27] even more,

[31:28] Dan.

[31:29] So this is what you're saying.

Elliott Kalan

[31:30] You are,

[31:31] you are William Goldman

[31:32] watching the Big Lebowski

[31:33] and going,

[31:34] I can't wait to see

[31:35] this bowling championship.

[31:36] That's not what I am saying.

Dan McCoy

[31:38] I just want one line

[31:40] addressing like,

[31:41] either like,

[31:42] oh,

[31:43] you know what?

[31:43] I was an erm,

[31:44] but like,

[31:44] your earthways

[31:45] have converted me

[31:46] or being,

[31:48] I forget what the other thing is.

[31:49] I don't care.

[31:49] The point is,

[31:50] we were watching it

[31:51] and we argued about it

[31:52] and it was the,

[31:53] like,

[31:53] the closest I've come

[31:54] to being actually angry

[31:55] at everything.

[31:56] I thought,

[31:56] I thought Dan was going

Elliott Kalan

[31:57] to quit the show.

[31:58] He was so mad

[31:59] that I did not agree

[32:00] with him

[32:00] and that there should

[32:01] have been more erm talk.

[32:02] It was comically dismissive

Stuart Wellington

[32:04] of me.

[32:05] Dan,

[32:06] the thing is,

[32:06] you're not the only person

[32:07] who's interested

[32:08] in the erm stuff

[32:09] because Alita

[32:10] is also interested

[32:11] as she sneaks aboard

[32:13] the erm ship

[32:14] and finds a robot body,

[32:17] which we learn

[32:18] is a berserker body,

[32:19] an ultimate killing machine body,

[32:21] which her father

[32:22] is like,

[32:22] I'm not putting

[32:23] your fucking head

[32:23] on that thing.

[32:24] That's crazy.

[32:25] Which,

[32:25] to be fair,

Elliott Kalan

[32:25] if my son came to me

[32:27] and said,

[32:27] hey,

[32:28] I found this cool

[32:28] robot monster body,

[32:30] will you put my brain in?

[32:31] I would be like,

[32:32] no.

[32:34] When you turn 18,

[32:35] what you want to do

[32:36] with your body

[32:36] is your business,

[32:37] but as long as you live

[32:38] under my roof,

[32:39] you are not putting

[32:40] your brain in a monster body.

[32:41] I mean,

[32:41] again,

Dan McCoy

[32:41] to be fair,

[32:43] you're primarily known

[32:44] for writing

[32:45] for The Daily Show,

[32:46] writing for Mystery Science Theater,

[32:48] the upcoming saloon.

[32:49] You are not really known

[32:51] for putting brains

[32:51] in any bodies.

[32:52] That's true.

[32:52] I would also say

Elliott Kalan

[32:53] I'm not qualified

[32:54] to do this work.

[32:56] Yeah.

[32:56] When you turn 18,

[32:57] if you want me to do it,

[32:58] I will do my best

[32:59] because I love you

[33:00] and I respect your life choices

[33:01] when you turn 18.

[33:02] Okay.

[33:03] If you want to body mod yourself

[33:04] like crazy,

[33:05] get one of those lizard tongues.

[33:07] When you're 18.

Stuart Wellington

[33:08] And Alita's basically a teenager,

[33:10] so she runs off,

[33:12] puts on a cool-ass duster,

[33:15] goes to,

[33:16] she goes to the Hunter Killer Academy

[33:18] or wherever the fuck it is.

Elliott Kalan

[33:19] It's like a church.

[33:21] Okay.

[33:21] It's like the city hall

[33:22] and also the building

[33:23] where Vector has his offices.

[33:24] It's the one nice skyscraper

[33:25] in town.

Stuart Wellington

[33:26] Yeah.

[33:26] So she goes there

[33:27] and she signs up.

[33:28] She becomes a hunter warrior

[33:30] and then she,

[33:32] and with Hugo in tow,

[33:34] head to a bar called Kansas Bar.

[33:36] I don't know why.

[33:37] That's filled with hunter warriors,

[33:40] including a fellow named Zapan

[33:42] who has a human face

[33:43] and a little metal beard

[33:45] and a sword that Alita likes.

[33:47] There's also actor Jeff Fahey.

[33:49] He is playing a bounty hunter

[33:51] who has a metal beard as well

[33:53] and a bunch of metal dogs.

[33:54] And he's dressed up like a cowboy.

Dan McCoy

[33:56] Yeah.

[33:56] And he disappears from the movie

[33:57] way too fast

[33:58] because he's fucking,

[33:59] fucking,

Elliott Kalan

[33:59] Yeah.

[34:00] You want to watch a movie about him.

[34:01] I get it.

[34:02] I mean,

[34:03] it's hard to see a character

[34:04] who is a cyborg sheriff

[34:05] with cyborg dogs

[34:07] in your movie

[34:08] and not be like,

[34:08] we found the star

[34:09] of the movie,

[34:10] everybody.

[34:11] The same way that in Bright,

[34:12] that centaur mounted policeman cop

[34:14] shows up

[34:15] and you're like,

[34:16] finally,

[34:17] the movie.

[34:18] And then he just walks off screen

[34:19] or whatever.

Stuart Wellington

[34:21] So Alita goes there

[34:22] and she antagonizes

[34:23] all the hunter warriors.

[34:24] She's like,

[34:24] you got to help me find this guy,

[34:26] Gruishka.

[34:27] And they're like,

[34:27] who?

[34:28] He's not,

[34:28] there's not even a bounty on his head.

[34:30] And she's like,

[34:30] wow,

[34:30] somebody's protecting him.

[34:31] They don't care.

Elliott Kalan

[34:32] It's a weird moment.

[34:32] She's like,

[34:33] who stands with me in this fight?

[34:35] I don't even know what the fight is.

[34:36] And I've been watching you

[34:37] since you woke up.

[34:38] Yeah.

Stuart Wellington

[34:39] So,

[34:40] uh,

[34:41] Ito shows up as well.

[34:42] And then of course,

[34:43] Gruishka shows up.

[34:45] And just like Jason X,

[34:46] he's gotten an upgrade

[34:47] because he's got the grind cutter

[34:49] for an arm.

[34:50] And I think his body

[34:51] is painted slightly different.

[34:52] And he uses grind cutter

[34:54] to kill the only

[34:55] really cool character

[34:56] in the movie.

[34:57] That's right.

[34:57] The tiny little dog

[34:59] who followed Alita.

[35:00] You don't see it.

[35:01] It's off camera,

[35:01] but it's still sad.

[35:02] Alita's,

[35:03] Alita takes it well

[35:04] by smearing the dog's

[35:05] blood's face on her.

Elliott Kalan

[35:07] Yeah.

[35:07] She takes the dog's blood

[35:08] and smears it under her eyes

[35:09] like,

[35:09] put me in, coach.

[35:10] Yeah.

Stuart Wellington

[35:12] Uh,

[35:12] so she,

[35:14] uh,

[35:14] she's like,

[35:15] okay,

[35:15] Gruishka,

[35:15] let's battle.

[35:16] And he's like,

[35:16] I got this new thing.

[35:18] wow.

[35:18] And then he,

[35:19] he opens a hole

[35:21] in the ground

[35:22] I'll remember you always

[35:23] and jumps in the hole

[35:24] and she's like,

[35:24] well,

[35:24] I'm coming after you,

[35:25] dude.

[35:25] And then he tells her

[35:26] the story about how

[35:27] he was like down at,

[35:28] he like,

[35:28] he lives in the hole

[35:29] and he loves being in the hole.

[35:32] And this dude,

[35:33] this dude,

[35:33] Nova found him

[35:35] and like brought him

[35:36] out of the hole

[35:37] cool.

[35:38] Uh,

[35:39] so they battle

[35:39] and Lita's like,

Elliott Kalan

[35:40] that's entirely accurate

[35:42] by the way.

[35:43] It's pretty much

[35:44] the story he tells.

[35:46] And so he like,

[35:47] chases her

[35:47] throwing these fingers

[35:49] at her.

[35:49] I just realized,

[35:50] if you,

[35:51] if you want to imagine

[35:51] Gruishka,

[35:52] here's a common

[35:53] cultural reference.

[35:54] It's overt kill,

[35:55] the cyborg with a human

[35:56] head from spawn.

[35:57] Okay,

[35:58] done.

[35:58] Now you know

[35:58] what he looks like.

Stuart Wellington

[35:59] So she's running away

[36:00] from these fingers.

[36:01] He keeps throwing them

[36:02] at her and eventually

[36:03] she's like,

[36:03] I'm done running.

[36:04] I'm going to beat you up.

[36:05] So she jumps at him

[36:06] and she's doing

[36:07] this cool corkscrew thing

[36:08] that's part of her

[36:09] cyborg martial arts

[36:10] called Panzerkunst.

[36:11] I forgot to mention that

[36:12] but it's okay.

[36:13] And she's flying

[36:14] through the air

[36:14] and there's all these

[36:15] fingers flying at her

[36:16] and all of a sudden

[36:17] her body just comes apart

[36:19] because she got caught

[36:20] in the razor fingers.

[36:21] Yeah.

[36:21] You're like,

[36:22] whoa,

[36:22] Alita's dead?

[36:23] The movie's going to be over?

[36:24] Not so fast

[36:25] because she throws

[36:26] herself up in the air

[36:26] and punches him

[36:27] in the eyeball

[36:28] and breaks her own arm off.

[36:29] Yeah,

Dan McCoy

[36:29] it's pretty cool.

[36:31] It's awesome.

[36:31] She's a torso

[36:32] with one arm

[36:33] and she lands on that arm

[36:34] and like holds herself up by it

[36:36] and then just like

[36:37] goes wham

[36:38] and like...

[36:38] I used to think...

Stuart Wellington

[36:39] That was a little physical stuff

[36:42] for the people at home.

[36:43] Yeah.

[36:43] I used to think

[36:44] that Woro

[36:45] in Street Fighter 3

[36:46] Third Strike

[36:47] was cool

[36:47] because he was able

[36:48] to fight against guys

[36:49] like Ryu

[36:49] and all those guys

[36:50] with only one arm

[36:51] but she doesn't even have legs.

[36:52] It's crazy.

[36:54] Okay,

[36:54] so her body's totally destroyed.

[36:56] Ito takes her

[36:57] I guess I got only one option

[36:59] and he sticks her head

[37:00] in the berserker body

[37:01] which conforms

[37:02] to like the shape

[37:04] that she wants I guess

[37:05] because it's full of

[37:06] nanomachines or something.

Elliott Kalan

[37:08] There's a whole fake

[37:10] made up science thing

[37:11] where her brain

[37:12] is psychically changing it

[37:14] to her image,

[37:15] nanobots

[37:15] and it's like

[37:16] you just have to imagine

[37:17] Christoph Waltz

[37:18] looking at the lines

[37:18] in the script

[37:19] and being like

[37:19] how do I make this work?

[37:21] how do I act

[37:22] this nonsense gibberish?

Dan McCoy

[37:24] I'm going to fight back

[37:25] against Elliot's libel

[37:27] that I want more

[37:28] like gibberish exposition

[37:30] which is to say

[37:31] You said it

Elliott Kalan

[37:32] with your own mouth.

[37:33] You wanted more talk

[37:35] about this 300 year ago war

[37:37] that no one cares about.

[37:38] It's a character thing

Dan McCoy

[37:40] I wanted a character

[37:40] but the point is

[37:41] I'm just going

[37:43] hmm

[37:43] about the erm

Elliott Kalan

[37:45] I'm just saying

[37:47] one of the best movies

[37:48] I think of last year

[37:49] or was that earlier this year

[37:50] The Favorite

[37:50] they don't even tell you

[37:52] what war she's fighting

[37:53] and that was a real war

[37:54] they could have filled you

[37:55] with Spanish succession facts

[37:57] and yet they said

[37:58] we don't need it

[37:59] this is a story

[37:59] about the characters

[38:00] not about the history

Dan McCoy

[38:01] Not actually an accurate analogy

[38:03] but anyway

[38:04] the point is

[38:05] I would like

[38:06] for the people

[38:06] who are staying

[38:07] for both shows

[38:08] God bless you

[38:09] and God keep you

[38:09] Godzilla bless you

[38:10] second show

[38:11] and you're maniacs

[38:13] but erm

[38:14] like Godzilla

[38:16] that movie

[38:16] is a movie

[38:17] where they waste

[38:18] way way way too much time

[38:19] on like science gibberish

[38:21] and you would like

[38:21] to visit the same plague

[38:23] upon the house of Alita

[38:24] oh I'm saying

[38:25] that like

[38:25] by and large

[38:26] Alita's very good

[38:27] at being like

[38:28] I don't know

[38:28] nanomachines

[38:29] whatever

[38:29] and then we just

[38:30] keep on rolling

[38:31] that's true

Stuart Wellington

[38:33] so in this new body

[38:34] Alita seems to be

[38:35] a little more confident

[38:36] she wears cooler outfits

[38:37] she

[38:38] got like a flash dance shirt

[38:39] that's off one shoulder

[38:40] yeah

[38:41] and she like

[38:42] she and Hugo

[38:43] kind of

[38:44] I don't want to say

[38:44] consummate their romance

[38:45] but they like kiss

[38:46] and touch

[38:47] and it's cool

[38:47] is this when she's

[38:48] sitting in his window

[38:49] watching him sleep

[38:50] I need to really clearly state

[38:52] that she is way too good

[38:53] for him

Elliott Kalan

[38:54] oh yeah

[38:54] it's clear from the beginning

[38:56] that he's trash

[38:57] and she is

[38:58] a smash

[38:59] did you

Stuart Wellington

[39:01] did you write that down

[39:02] before the show

Elliott Kalan

[39:03] I did not

[39:04] but I should have

[39:04] because I would have

[39:05] come up with a better rhyme

[39:06] okay

Stuart Wellington

[39:06] so as I said before

[39:08] everybody can't stop

[39:10] talking about Alita

[39:10] if she's not on screen

[39:11] people are talking about her

[39:12] and so Vector is talking about it

[39:14] he's like

[39:15] I need to kill Alita

[39:16] Nova wants me to do it

[39:17] so he decides

[39:18] to put the squeeze on Hugo

[39:20] who works for him

[39:21] chopping up robots

[39:22] to do something

[39:24] we don't know exactly what

[39:25] but Hugo believes

[39:26] that if he gives

[39:27] Vector enough money

[39:28] he'll be able to

[39:29] buy his way into

[39:30] Zalem

[39:31] buy his way into heaven

[39:32] it's crazy

[39:33] and we know

[39:34] that's silly

[39:34] everybody

[39:35] multiple people

[39:36] have this same fantasy

[39:37] that if they pay this guy

[39:38] enough money

[39:38] they'll get to go up

[39:39] and live in heaven

[39:40] I mean it's

Elliott Kalan

[39:41] it's a fantasy

[39:41] that many real life

[39:43] people have

[39:43] which is crazy

[39:44] because the heaven book

[39:46] they read

[39:46] is exceedingly clear

[39:47] that that is not

[39:49] the way to get into heaven

[39:51] maybe they got a secret

[39:52] heaven book

[39:52] that says

[39:53] money money money

[39:53] please

Stuart Wellington

[39:54] so Alita

[39:56] wakes Hugo

[39:57] go up

[39:57] who is sleeping

[39:58] off a hangover

[39:59] and he's looking

[39:59] pretty smokin'

[40:00] I guess

[40:01] oh shirt off

[40:01] trail

[40:02] you know everything

[40:02] so she is sitting

[40:04] in his windowsill

[40:05] like a bird of prey

[40:06] and they hatch a scheme

[40:08] together

[40:08] she's like

[40:08] here you can just

[40:09] sell my heart

[40:10] and he's like

[40:11] for a rare moment

[40:13] he's like

[40:13] wait a minute

[40:14] I'm not gonna sell

[40:15] your robot heart

[40:16] let's find a different way

[40:18] and she's like

[40:18] I'll just kill a bunch

[40:19] of people for you

[40:20] and you can take the money

[40:20] he's like

[40:21] no no no

[40:21] why don't you

[40:22] earn the money

[40:23] for both of us

[40:24] by playing motorball

[40:26] and we the audience

[40:27] are like

[40:27] fuck yeah

Dan McCoy

[40:28] let's make it clear

[40:31] I'm not asking

[40:32] for more exposition

[40:33] Elliot

[40:33] but

[40:34] but

[40:36] this movie

[40:38] does bring up

[40:39] a lot of stuff

[40:39] about human

[40:40] robot relationships

[40:41] that it does not

[40:42] does not make clear

Elliott Kalan

[40:44] Dan kept saying

[40:45] throughout the movie

[40:47] while we were watching it

[40:48] how do they have sex

[40:49] Dan

[40:51] they've got

[40:51] they had the same thing

[40:52] when I was watching Cars

[40:53] and I'll tell you

[40:55] the same thing I said

[40:56] about Cars

[40:57] they have attachments

[40:58] for that

[40:58] alright

[41:00] so

[41:03] check my notes

[41:06] you were

[41:06] you wanted the scene

[41:08] where she says

[41:09] and warning to anyone

[41:10] who's listening with children

[41:11] you wanted the scene

[41:12] where she says

[41:13] she says to him

[41:15] Hugo

[41:15] I can only do mouth stuff

[41:17] and that scene

[41:20] oh and also

[41:21] let me tell you about

[41:21] look but it cleared up

[41:22] a lot for me

[41:23] Hugo let me go over

[41:25] the sex rules for me

[41:26] also here's what

[41:26] Irm was all about

[41:27] and how I feel about it

[41:28] anyway

[41:29] I guess we don't have time

[41:30] for me to play

[41:30] motorball anymore

[41:32] give me the DVD

[41:33] with the deleted scenes

[41:35] I'll eat them up

Stuart Wellington

[41:35] so

[41:36] Alita suits up

[41:38] to play some motorball

[41:39] meanwhile

[41:40] Vector

[41:41] is

[41:42] setting her up

[41:43] he's got a team

[41:44] of people to murder her

[41:45] instead of worrying

[41:45] about the ball

[41:46] which seems to be

[41:47] everybody's case

[41:48] her father

[41:50] though disapproving

[41:51] supports her

[41:52] and gives her

[41:52] some cool

[41:52] roller skate feet

[41:53] meanwhile

[41:55] while she's

[41:56] riding around

[41:57] on the track

[41:57] receiving phone calls

[41:58] from everybody

[41:59] Hugo goes

[42:01] to find

[42:01] his

[42:02] Hugo goes

[42:03] to find

[42:03] his

[42:04] scrapper crew

[42:05] and they're

[42:06] ripping the arms

[42:07] and legs

[42:07] off of some

[42:08] poor guy

[42:09] and

[42:10] a rival bounty

[42:12] what

[42:13] hunter warrior

[42:14] Zapan

[42:14] who was made

[42:15] fun of

[42:16] and mocked

[42:16] for his little

[42:17] metal beard

[42:18] shows up

[42:19] he's the one

Stuart Wellington

[42:19] with the super

[42:19] cool sword

[42:20] yep

[42:21] he shows up

[42:22] he frames

[42:23] Hugo for murder

[42:24] and then kills

[42:25] Hugo's friend

[42:26] and chases

[42:26] him around

[42:27] Alita

[42:28] finding out

[42:29] that Hugo's

[42:29] in trouble

[42:30] leaves the

[42:31] motorball track

[42:31] and like

[42:32] kills a bunch

[42:32] of motorball

[42:33] people

[42:33] it's pretty

[42:33] cool

[42:34] and then

[42:35] she shows up

[42:36] saves Hugo

[42:37] for a second

[42:38] and then

[42:38] Zapan the evil

[42:40] hunter warrior

[42:41] is like

[42:41] you gotta kill

[42:42] Hugo

[42:42] he's a criminal

[42:43] there's a bounty

[42:44] on his head

[42:44] and of course

[42:45] she can't do

[42:47] that because

[42:47] she loves him

[42:48] so Zapan

[42:49] just stabs him

[42:50] which Dan's

[42:51] like

Elliott Kalan

[42:51] why did you

[42:52] let that happen

[42:52] Alita

[42:53] he was so mad

[42:54] at Alita

[42:54] he was like

[42:56] Alita

[42:56] just take care

[42:57] of it

[42:58] before he kills

[42:59] him

[42:59] just kills Zapan

[43:00] and I was like

[43:01] Dan

[43:01] that's part of

[43:02] the learning

Stuart Wellington

[43:02] process

[43:03] like everybody

Elliott Kalan

[43:03] has to watch

[43:04] their first boyfriend

[43:05] get stabbed

[43:05] in his stomach

[43:06] this guy's a bad

[43:06] guy who's gonna

[43:07] stab him

[43:08] it's like

[43:08] Dan is so

[43:09] falling for the

[43:10] trap the movie

[43:10] has set

[43:11] I was like

[43:12] Dan you are

[43:12] reacting exactly

[43:14] the way

[43:14] Dan's like

[43:15] this movie's

[43:15] busted

[43:16] and I'm like

[43:16] you're busted

[43:17] Dan

[43:17] you're doing

[43:19] exactly what the

[43:19] movie wants you

[43:20] to do

[43:20] you're a puppet

[43:21] of the movie

[43:21] Elliot

[43:21] if Alita

[43:22] had only

[43:23] listened to me

[43:24] through the movie

[43:25] none of the sad

[43:27] stuff would have

[43:28] happened

[43:28] he is the guy

[43:29] in the movie

[43:29] theater who's

[43:30] yelling don't

[43:30] go in there

[43:31] not knowing that

[43:32] if the character

[43:33] takes his advice

[43:34] the movie is over

[43:35] and the fun

[43:36] will be gone

[43:36] you lost your

[43:36] childish sense

[43:37] of wonder

[43:38] sir

[43:38] so Alita runs

[43:40] off with a

[43:41] is that what it

[43:41] is

[43:41] you have a

[43:43] childish sense

[43:44] of wonder

[43:44] about what

[43:44] happened in

[43:45] the Urm War

[43:46] and if you

Stuart Wellington

[43:49] were wondering

[43:49] about what's

[43:50] happened to

[43:50] Hugo now

[43:51] that he's

[43:51] been stabbed

[43:52] well Alita

[43:52] carries him

[43:53] off and

[43:53] then she

[43:54] runs into

[43:54] Kyron who

[43:55] shows up

[43:55] for some

[43:55] reason

[43:56] and surgically

[43:57] removes Hugo's

[43:58] head and

[43:59] connects his

[43:59] head to

[44:00] Alita's heart

[44:01] which I think

[44:02] is symbolism

[44:02] guys

[44:03] but that

[44:04] allows

[44:05] that allows

[44:06] Alita to

[44:06] reveal to

[44:07] the robots

[44:08] that she

[44:08] chopped his

[44:09] head off

[44:09] and they're

[44:10] like oh

[44:10] bounty

[44:10] accumulated

[44:11] and then the

[44:12] evil hunter

[44:13] warrior's like

[44:14] oh but wait

[44:15] what what

[44:15] and he tries

[44:16] to stop her

[44:17] and the

[44:17] robots are

[44:17] like oh

[44:18] you can do

[44:19] whatever you

[44:19] want to

[44:19] this dude

[44:20] and she's

[44:20] like thanks

[44:21] and takes

[44:21] his sword

[44:21] and chops

[44:22] half his

[44:22] face off

[44:23] and she

[44:25] keeps his

[44:25] sword

[44:25] okay boom

[44:26] we're almost

[44:27] done

[44:27] we're in

[44:28] the home

[44:28] stretch

[44:29] okay so

[44:30] Alita goes

[44:32] after Vector

[44:32] and then

[44:35] Gruishka

[44:36] shows up

[44:36] and she

[44:37] just totally

[44:37] smokes him

[44:38] he's a

[44:38] total wimp

[44:38] and Vector's

[44:40] like oh I

[44:40] hope I have

[44:41] another robot

[44:41] but it also

[44:42] hold on

Dan McCoy

[44:42] it also

[44:43] I know I'm

[44:44] doing what

[44:44] you hate

[44:44] but it also

[44:45] turns out

[44:45] that Jennifer

[44:46] Connelly

[44:47] who wanted

[44:47] to get up

[44:48] to the sky

[44:48] city

[44:49] has been

[44:49] harvested

[44:50] for organs

[44:51] apparently that's

[44:51] the only way

[44:52] you can

[44:52] actually get

[44:52] up

Elliott Kalan

[44:52] and she

[44:53] that she

[44:53] was supposed

[44:54] to turn

[44:55] in Alita

[44:56] to get there

[44:57] but in fact

[44:58] her being a

[44:59] mother herself

[45:00] once upon a

[45:00] time she

[45:01] couldn't do

[45:01] it and she

[45:02] has turned

[45:02] on her

[45:03] evil captors

[45:03] and now

[45:04] had her organs

[45:05] pulled out

[45:05] of her body

[45:05] now she's

Dan McCoy

[45:06] a brain

[45:07] in a jar

[45:07] and Vector

[45:08] keeps them

[45:08] in a case

[45:09] in his office

[45:10] this is also

[45:11] in Alita

Elliott Kalan

[45:11] Alita is

[45:12] fighting all

[45:13] these bad

[45:14] guys on

[45:14] the ground

[45:14] floor

[45:14] and Vector's

[45:15] like uh oh

[45:16] what do I

[45:16] do and

[45:16] then Alita

[45:17] bursts

[45:17] through the

[45:17] ceiling

[45:18] and it

[45:18] was like

[45:19] did she

[45:19] run up

[45:20] all the

[45:20] stairs

[45:21] he's

Stuart Wellington

[45:23] like

[45:23] you might

[45:24] think

[45:24] that with

[45:24] a name

[45:24] like

[45:25] Vector

[45:25] I would

[45:25] understand

[45:26] angles

[45:26] math

[45:31] joke

[45:31] so uh

[45:34] yeah so

[45:35] she murders

[45:35] that robot

[45:36] and then like

[45:36] all of a sudden

[45:37] Vector starts

[45:38] talking with

[45:38] Nova's voice

[45:39] Nova's the

[45:40] big bad

[45:41] remember

[45:41] and he

[45:41] starts talking

[45:42] some sass

[45:43] and she

[45:43] sasses back

[45:44] and then

[45:44] eventually she

[45:45] stabs him

[45:45] in the belly

[45:46] and then we

[45:46] get a great

[45:47] scene where

[45:47] Mahershala

[45:48] Ali has

[45:48] to play

[45:49] a guy

[45:50] whose body

[45:50] is dying

[45:51] but is

[45:51] controlled

[45:51] by someone

[45:52] it's pretty

[45:52] cool

Elliott Kalan

[45:52] his body

[45:53] is dying

[45:53] but he

[45:54] has the

[45:54] voice and

[45:55] personality

[45:55] of this

[45:55] confident

[45:56] villain

[45:56] who is

[45:57] taunting

[45:57] the hero

[45:58] and I was

[45:58] like this

[45:59] is really

[45:59] good work

[46:01] what he's

[46:01] doing here

[46:02] not a joke

[46:02] so

[46:03] it turns out

[46:04] he's a great

[46:04] actor

[46:05] guys

[46:05] have you heard

[46:07] about this

[46:07] now I guess

[46:08] I gotta go

[46:08] see Moonlight

[46:09] so we

Stuart Wellington

[46:11] find out

[46:13] that in

[46:13] his dying

[46:14] well I guess

[46:15] not dying

[46:15] moments

[46:15] but Nova

[46:16] has sent

[46:16] robots

[46:17] after

[46:18] Hugo

[46:19] who in fact

[46:20] isn't dead

[46:21] he's been

[46:21] a tactical robot

[46:22] and Hugo

[46:23] has gone

[46:23] running off

[46:24] and we

[46:24] learn that

[46:24] Hugo

[46:25] is trying

[46:25] to

[46:25] climb

[46:26] a pipe

[46:26] to the sky

[46:27] yeah

Elliott Kalan

[46:27] he's trying

[46:28] to climb

[46:28] his way

[46:29] to Zalem

[46:30] there's these

[46:30] big space

[46:31] elevator cables

[46:32] up to Zalem

[46:33] and earlier

[46:34] we saw a flashback

[46:35] where Alita

[46:37] or does that

[46:38] no

[46:38] Alita's fighting

[46:40] her way up

[46:40] the cables

[46:40] to Zalem

[46:41] and there's

[46:41] like a big

[46:42] spinning blade

[46:43] that comes

[46:43] down

[46:43] cutting things

[46:44] up

[46:44] and now

[46:45] Hugo's

[46:45] climbing up

[46:46] there

[46:46] uh oh

[46:46] Alita

[46:47] chases

[46:47] after him

[46:48] she's like

Stuart Wellington

[46:48] don't do it

[46:49] dude

[46:49] and he's like

[46:49] I'll do

[46:50] whatever I

[46:50] want

[46:52] the giant

[46:55] I died

[46:55] and came

[46:55] back

[46:56] the giant

[46:58] comes flying

[46:58] down

[46:59] and he's

[46:59] like I can

[47:00] jump over

[47:00] this super

[47:01] easy

[47:01] not so fast

[47:02] sir

[47:03] and he gets

[47:03] chopped

[47:04] into little

[47:04] pieces

[47:04] she jumps

[47:05] after him

[47:06] she catches

[47:07] him but his

[47:08] arm breaks

[47:08] and he falls

[47:09] and turns

[47:11] out

[47:11] there's

[47:11] nothing

[47:11] funnier

Dan McCoy

[47:12] than

[47:12] seeing

[47:12] a

[47:13] limbless

[47:14] head

[47:15] fall

[47:16] like

Elliott Kalan

[47:17] arms

[47:19] waving

[47:20] not endorsed

[47:21] this opinion

[47:22] is not endorsed

[47:23] by the rest

[47:23] of the blockhouse

Dan McCoy

[47:24] I'm not making

[47:25] fun of any

[47:26] real thing

[47:28] that has happened

[47:28] in the world

[47:29] I'm making fun

[47:30] of a robot

[47:31] man

[47:32] who has been

[47:33] chopped up

[47:33] who's falling

[47:34] this is not

[47:35] going to age

[47:35] well

[47:35] in our

[47:36] post-human

[47:36] future

[47:37] what have

Stuart Wellington

[47:38] I done

[47:39] so Alita

[47:39] survives

[47:40] and she

[47:40] vows

[47:41] vengeance

[47:41] she's

[47:42] going to

[47:42] find a

[47:43] way to

[47:43] Zalem

[47:44] and the

[47:44] only way

[47:44] she can

[47:44] do it

[47:45] is by

[47:45] I guess

[47:46] playing more

[47:46] motorball

[47:47] so she

[47:48] shows up

[47:48] to the

[47:48] motorball

[47:49] stadium

[47:49] she does

[47:50] some

[47:50] she

[47:51] you know

[47:51] strikes a

[47:52] pose

[47:52] she points

[47:52] her sword

[47:53] at the

[47:53] floating

[47:54] city

[47:54] and on

[47:55] the

[47:55] floating

[47:55] city

[47:55] we see

[47:56] why

[47:57] Nova

[47:58] was so

[47:58] confident

[47:58] that's

[47:59] right

[47:59] because

[47:59] he's

[48:00] played

[48:00] by

[48:00] Edward

[48:01] Norton

[48:01] with a

[48:03] white

[48:03] mullet

[48:04] it is

[48:06] it is

Dan McCoy

[48:06] interesting

[48:08] how fully

[48:10] putting like

[48:10] little

[48:11] little

[48:11] steampunk

[48:12] glasses

[48:12] and a

[48:13] bleach job

[48:14] on Edward

[48:14] Norton

[48:15] disguises him

[48:16] because it is not

[48:17] until he takes

[48:17] the glass off

[48:18] that we're like

[48:18] holy shit

[48:19] it's the

[48:20] original

[48:21] Incredible Hulk

[48:23] not at all

Elliott Kalan

[48:24] Dan

[48:24] not at all

[48:26] not at all

[48:28] he's not even

[48:29] the original

[48:29] Incredible Hulk

[48:31] in the movies

[48:31] Dan

[48:32] that's Eric

[48:33] Banna

[48:33] Lou Ferrigno

[48:36] predates both

[48:38] of them

Dan McCoy

[48:38] I knew that

[48:41] would anger

[48:41] you

[48:41] yeah

Elliott Kalan

[48:42] now I know

[48:43] what it's like

[48:44] when someone

[48:45] doesn't tell me

[48:45] enough about

[48:46] Irm

[48:46] and they're

[48:48] clearly setting

[48:48] this movie up

[48:49] for a sequel

Stuart Wellington

[48:50] so now this is

[48:52] where we close

[48:53] the book

[48:53] on Alita

[48:55] colon paddling

[48:55] the big leather

[48:56] that's right

[48:57] because it was

[48:57] based on books

[48:59] books that I read

[49:00] some of in

[49:01] preparation for this

[49:02] and what did you

[49:04] learn from those

[49:04] yeah let's talk

[49:05] about final

[49:05] judgments now

[49:06] this is where

[49:06] we make final

[49:07] judgments on

[49:07] whether this was

[49:08] a good movie

[49:08] bad movie

[49:09] or a movie

[49:09] we kind of

[49:10] liked

[49:10] I

[49:12] you know

[49:12] I like the

[49:13] books quite a

[49:14] bit

[49:14] I think

[49:15] they're a

[49:15] little

[49:15] they're certainly

[49:16] a little weirder

[49:17] they're filled

[49:17] with a lot

[49:18] of cyborgs

[49:18] that clearly

[49:19] have made

[49:20] strong life

[49:21] choices

[49:21] and I

[49:24] kind of like

[49:25] the in the

[49:26] movie

[49:26] like a big

[49:27] part of the

[49:28] movie is the

[49:28] relationship

[49:29] between Hugo

[49:29] and Alita

[49:30] and they make

[49:31] him a little

[49:32] redeemable in

[49:33] this like

[49:34] he's a jerk

[49:35] idiot

[49:35] but he's not

[49:37] like a murderer

[49:37] and in the comics

[49:39] he's basically

[49:39] a murderer

[49:40] and doesn't

[49:41] care about

[49:41] her at all

[49:42] but her like

[49:43] wide-eyed

[49:43] love for him

[49:44] is so

[49:45] like it feels

[49:46] so real

[49:46] because

[49:47] like when

[49:48] you're young

[49:48] you're dumb

[49:49] and you make

[49:49] bad decisions

[49:50] and you

[49:51] you love

[49:51] people who

[49:52] don't deserve

[49:52] it

[49:52] but I

[49:55] all that

[49:56] aside

Elliott Kalan

[49:56] yeah you

[49:58] okay Stu

[49:58] is there

[50:00] anything you

[50:00] want to talk

[50:00] about

[50:01] oh

[50:02] oh

[50:03] can I

[50:04] tell you

[50:04] who my

[50:05] guys are

[50:06] tell me

[50:09] about the

[50:09] we had

[50:10] at the

[50:10] laugh

[50:10] factory

Stuart Wellington

[50:11] but we've

[50:12] I mean

[50:12] it's fast

[50:13] there's a lot

[50:14] of information

[50:15] in there

[50:15] and not

[50:16] there's probably

[50:17] too much

[50:17] information

[50:18] except the

[50:19] erm stuff

[50:19] I don't want

[50:20] to talk

[50:20] about that

[50:20] but I mean

[50:21] the motorball

[50:22] stuff's great

[50:22] and the

[50:24] actors are fun

[50:25] and Christoph

[50:26] Waltz is fine

[50:27] so I would say

[50:28] I say this is

[50:29] a movie I like

[50:30] like this

[50:30] I mean

[50:31] yeah this is

[50:32] definitely a movie

[50:33] I like

[50:33] yeah

[50:35] I mean

[50:35] this is a movie

[50:36] I love

[50:36] yeah yeah

[50:37] people loved it

Elliott Kalan

[50:38] I was

[50:38] I'll admit it

[50:39] I was ready

[50:40] to go into

[50:40] this movie

[50:41] not liking it

[50:42] because I found

[50:43] the giant eyes

[50:45] so off-putting

[50:48] this movie's not

[50:48] big eyes

[50:49] what's going on

[50:49] or big fish

[50:51] a big fish

[50:52] would have big eyes

[50:52] too

[50:53] or big

[50:54] with Tom Hanks

[50:55] big of my life

Dan McCoy

[50:57] his eyes didn't really

[50:57] get that much bigger

[50:58] when he got big

Elliott Kalan

[50:59] because your eyes

[51:00] are just kind of

[51:00] the same size

[51:01] throughout your life

[51:01] I guess

[51:02] but anyway

[51:03] so

[51:03] but

[51:05] after I got over

[51:06] the fact that

[51:06] Alita doesn't have

[51:07] a whole lot of

[51:08] personality at first

[51:09] I also really liked

[51:11] it in the end

[51:12] I found that

[51:13] there are a lot of

[51:14] good action scenes

[51:15] in it

[51:15] I liked some of the

[51:16] characters

[51:17] and the design work

[51:18] looks real cool

[51:18] here's

[51:19] and it's bright

[51:21] and it's brightly colored

[51:21] it's like not gray

[51:22] and like grim

[51:24] and dark looking

Stuart Wellington

[51:25] you're not watching

[51:27] giant monsters fight

[51:28] in dark snowy

Elliott Kalan

[51:30] save it for the

[51:30] late show

[51:31] but I will say this

[51:33] so I did like this movie

[51:34] but Hollywood

[51:35] I'm going to throw

[51:35] down the gauntlet

[51:36] I want you to find me

[51:38] a new set of

[51:39] iconographies

[51:40] for future cities

[51:42] let's put Blade Runner

[51:43] aside

[51:44] it's beautiful

[51:44] it's not

[51:45] doesn't really work

[51:45] for me as a movie

[51:46] but it works for me

[51:46] very well as a

[51:47] coffee table book

[51:48] let's put Blade Runner

[51:49] aside

[51:49] let's set Road Warrior

[51:50] aside with all the

[51:51] letter and the spikes

[51:52] and chains

[51:52] that's great

[51:53] but let's set it aside

[51:53] I want you to think

[51:54] about a new vision

[51:55] of the future

[51:55] because as much as

[51:56] I liked Alita

[51:57] there were times

[51:57] where I'd been like

[51:57] aside from Wakanda

[51:59] right

[51:59] Wakanda's a step

[52:00] in the right direction

[52:01] because at least

[52:02] it moves away

[52:02] we've had a solid

[52:03] 30 years of

[52:04] future equals Asian

[52:05] which is great

[52:06] but I've seen a lot

[52:07] of it

[52:07] Wakanda's like

[52:08] future equals Africa

[52:10] great

[52:10] I love it

[52:11] let's see more of that

[52:11] but hey

[52:12] what about like

[52:13] a really crazy future

[52:14] it's supposed to be

[52:15] 300 years in the future

[52:16] and the people's phones

[52:18] they don't look that cool

[52:19] and I know

[52:20] in 300 years

[52:21] people are gonna have

[52:21] super cool phones

[52:22] so Hollywood

[52:24] next time you make

[52:25] a future movie

[52:25] think about how cool

[52:26] the phones should be

[52:27] but that aside

[52:29] I like it

[52:29] so

[52:29] you've been Elliot Kalin

[52:30] yeah

[52:31] for the Flop House

[52:32] I'm Elliot Kalin

[52:33] goodnight everybody

[52:34] no Dan

[52:35] you have to talk

[52:35] right

[52:35] that could be

Dan McCoy

[52:39] the name of the podcast

[52:40] Dan

[52:42] you have to talk

[52:43] right

[52:43] yeah

[52:46] I liked it

[52:47] it was good

[52:47] so on a scale

[52:49] from 0 to 10 erms

[52:50] how many erms

[52:50] would you give it

[52:51] 7 erms

[52:53] I gave it

[52:53] 7 erms

[52:54] it was like

[52:55] a little too convoluted

[52:56] a little too long

[52:57] but I liked it

[52:57] but let's move on

[52:59] we usually take some

[53:01] questions from the audience

[53:03] to close out the show

[53:04] we have to be

[53:05] a little more

[53:06] tight assed about

[53:07] like

[53:08] shutting it down

[53:09] this time

[53:09] keep it quick

[53:10] there's a microphone

Elliott Kalan

[53:11] there

[53:11] right there

[53:12] so we're gonna need

[53:13] to see a mad dash

[53:14] scramble to get over there

[53:15] if you wanna ask

[53:16] your questions

[53:16] because

[53:17] we don't have

[53:18] a lot of time to waste

[53:19] we don't have a lot

[53:20] of time to eat up

[53:21] and you know

[53:21] what that means

[53:22] we don't have time

[53:24] for a song tonight

[53:27] for a rhyme tonight

[53:30] to eat limes tonight

[53:32] I'm sorry

[53:33] there's just no time

[53:35] if I had the time

[53:36] I'd sing you a song

[53:38] so loud and so long

[53:39] so proud and so strong

[53:41] I'd sing you that song

[53:43] but we just don't have time

[53:45] that uh delta or

[53:46] that blue

[53:47] oh jet blue

[53:47] yeah

[53:48] I wish we had hours

[53:49] and hours of time

[53:51] I wish we had hours

[53:52] hours to be together

[53:54] but we don't

[53:57] question number one please

[53:58] alright let's hear it

[53:59] thank you

[54:00] oh thanks

[54:02] well hey

[54:04] people seem to like

[54:06] that song

[54:06] no

S4

[54:07] okay

[54:08] question number one please

[54:09] my name is Carl

[54:11] last name withheld

[54:12] hi Carl

[54:12] thanks for being here

[54:13] hey

[54:13] uh one of my favorite

[54:14] old flop house bits

[54:15] was in ATM

[54:17] when Elliot

[54:18] uh made a joke

[54:19] about those old

[54:20] x-files bumpers

[54:21] that went

[54:21] the x-files

[54:22] is brought to you by

[54:23] rolled gold pretzels

[54:24] that guy was the quickest

[54:26] voice changer in the biz

[54:27] he is

Elliott Kalan

[54:28] yeah

[54:28] and I think I mentioned

[54:29] I had arguments

[54:30] with my former roommate

[54:32] Brian Chan

[54:32] who lives in Boston now

[54:33] about whether it was

[54:34] two different guys

[54:35] or the same guy

[54:36] yes

[54:37] clearly the same guy

[54:38] yes

S4

[54:38] uh my uh

[54:40] my favorite thing about that

[54:41] not only is it funny

[54:42] but it sort of

[54:43] like I thought I was

[54:44] the only guy in the world

[54:45] who remembered how weird

[54:46] those were

[54:47] uh so in your life

[54:48] what are your favorite

[54:49] jokes that are extra

[54:50] funny because it seems

[54:52] like they were made

[54:52] for you and only you

Dan McCoy

[54:54] hmm

[54:56] jokes that were made

[54:57] only for us

[54:59] I mean like

Stuart Wellington

[55:02] it's taken me

[55:03] at the time

[55:04] I felt like

[55:04] when I first started

[55:05] watching

[55:05] Dan are you okay

[55:06] you just

Dan McCoy

[55:07] I'm just taking

[55:09] a thinking stroll

Elliott Kalan

[55:11] I will say

[55:12] there's a

[55:13] there's an episode

[55:13] of Mystery Science

[55:14] Theater 2000

[55:14] where

[55:15] yep great show

[55:16] where uh

[55:17] something laughs

[55:18] and then I think

[55:19] it's Bill Corbett

[55:20] as Crow goes

[55:20] ha ha ha

[55:21] raceway park

[55:22] and those are commercials

[55:23] that aired in my

[55:24] local area

[55:26] how did they know

[55:27] about that

[55:28] and every time

[55:29] I hear the laughter

[55:30] at the beginning

[55:30] of Wipeout

[55:31] I always think

[55:32] it's the raceway park

[55:33] jingle

[55:33] so

[55:34] yeah

Stuart Wellington

[55:36] I was telling

[55:37] my wife

[55:38] this has nothing

[55:39] to do with it

[55:40] but uh

[55:40] I was telling

[55:41] my wife

[55:41] when we were

[55:42] driving up

[55:43] we were listening

[55:43] to Sharp Dressed

[55:44] Man by C.C. Top

[55:45] and every time

[55:46] I hear the scat lines

[55:47] where he's like

[55:48] black tie

[55:49] I always think

[55:50] it's like

[55:51] the Mason Verger

[55:52] actor from

[55:53] the TV show

[55:53] Hannibal

[55:54] but don't

[55:54] let's move on

[55:55] I would say

[55:58] at the time

[55:59] when I saw

[56:00] like

[56:00] like Venture Brothers

[56:02] it felt like

[56:03] at the time

[56:04] it felt like

[56:05] oh wow

[56:05] this made for me

[56:06] and then I'm like

[56:06] oh wait

[56:06] I'm just a

[56:07] boring white guy

[56:08] from a certain age

[56:09] but uh

[56:11] like

[56:11] I think it was

[56:12] it was an episode

[56:13] of Rick and Morty

[56:14] where they had

[56:14] the character

[56:15] Scary Terry

[56:16] who kept saying

[56:17] bitch all the time

[56:18] I'm like

[56:18] oh yeah

[56:19] I feel like

[56:19] that's a flop ass bit

[56:20] yeah

[56:21] he's a Freddy Krueger

[56:23] parody

[56:23] that's what I said

Dan McCoy

[56:24] uh

[56:25] Dan was thinking

[56:27] of the joke

[56:28] I don't have

[56:28] like a good

[56:29] like I think

[56:29] that this

[56:30] this mostly comes up

[56:31] less with like

[56:32] um

[56:33] with pop culture

[56:35] of course

[56:35] as it does

[56:36] with like

[56:36] friends

[56:37] like with you

[56:38] Elliot

[56:38] or

[56:39] the TV show

[56:40] Friends

[56:40] or

[56:41] or when I'm

[56:42] with my brother

[56:43] like

[56:43] uh

[56:44] just like

[56:44] talking about stuff

[56:45] and making

[56:46] references to

[56:47] nonsense

[56:47] that like

[56:48] like

[56:48] yesterday

[56:49] we were

[56:50] we were

[56:50] basically doing

[56:51] lines from

[56:51] Animal Crackers

[56:52] verbatim

[56:53] yeah

[56:53] we were talking

[56:54] about where

[56:54] they're looking

[56:55] in the shop

Elliott Kalan

[56:55] sorry I missed

[56:58] that

[56:58] Marks Brothers

[56:59] movie

[56:59] and I

[57:02] told you

[57:03] I told you

[57:03] my new

[57:03] favorite line

[57:04] from Duck Soup

[57:04] which I didn't

[57:05] realize until

[57:05] I watched

[57:06] again recently

[57:06] as part of

[57:07] my and my

[57:08] son's

[57:28] thanks

[57:28] got it

[57:29] exactly

[57:29] um

[57:30] so ever

[57:31] since Elliot

[57:31] talked about

[57:32] his unproduced

[57:33] script with

[57:34] uh

[57:34] Robert Moses

[57:34] as the bad

[57:35] guy

[57:35] yeah

[57:36] surreal estate

[57:37] it was called

[57:38] well it's

[57:38] dead now

[57:39] but all right

S4

[57:39] well I was

[57:40] curious to get

[57:40] your guys

[57:41] insight on

[57:41] what little

[57:42] known villain

[57:42] would make

[57:43] a good

[57:43] flophouse

[57:44] villain

[57:44] and a good

[57:45] blockbuster

[57:45] villain

Dan McCoy

[57:46] oh

[57:46] a little

[57:47] known

[57:47] like a real

[57:49] life villain

[57:49] yeah like a

[57:50] historical villain

[57:51] John Landis

Elliott Kalan

[57:52] wow

[57:53] wow

[57:54] shots fired

[57:56] shots fired

[57:56] pow pow pow pow pow

[57:57] he killed

[57:58] not legally

Dan McCoy

[58:03] it's not

[58:04] approved in

[58:05] court

[58:05] I can't

[58:05] believe that

[58:06] supernatural

[58:07] comedy you

[58:07] wrote about

[58:08] never went

[58:09] anywhere

Elliott Kalan

[58:09] it wasn't

[58:10] just about

[58:11] it was also

[58:12] about Jane

[58:12] Jacobs

[58:13] uh let's

[58:15] see like a

[58:16] real there's so

[58:17] many good ones

[58:17] I mean this

[58:18] is not uh

[58:19] this is not as

[58:19] obscure but

[58:20] the uh

[58:20] I'm watching a

[58:22] for another

[58:23] podcast that

[58:23] John Hodgman

[58:24] and I are doing

[58:24] for maximum fun

[58:25] as a donors

[58:25] thing we're

[58:26] watching i

[58:26] claudius

[58:27] together and

[58:28] I'm like

[58:28] it's uh

[58:30] and I'm getting

[58:31] really into

[58:31] ancient rome

[58:32] oh there's so

[58:33] many weirdos

[58:34] in ancient rome

[58:35] like it's such a

[58:36] weirdo and when

[58:36] I when I was

[58:37] young I thought

[58:37] rome was so

[58:37] boring and now

[58:38] the more I read

[58:39] about the more

[58:39] I'm like this

[58:39] is the craziest

[58:40] time there ever

[58:41] was everyone's

[58:42] a weirdo

[58:43] uh I'm a lot

[58:46] dumber than

[58:47] Elliot so

[58:48] oh well I'll

[58:49] also say okay

[58:50] Charles Gouteau

[58:50] the man who

[58:51] shot James

[58:51] Garfield who

[58:52] was a real

[58:52] also a real

[58:53] weirdo okay

[58:54] yeah I'm like

Dan McCoy

[58:55] trying to think

[58:56] of like history

[58:57] oh wait I

[58:57] don't know

[58:58] history so

[58:59] let's just say

[59:00] what if there

[59:01] were more

[59:01] movies about

[59:02] golems

Elliott Kalan

[59:03] okay I mean

[59:04] there have been

[59:04] a few but I

[59:06] guess for a guy

[59:07] who thinks the

[59:07] Hulk is a new

[59:08] character okay

[59:09] that's

[59:09] he was

[59:11] originated the

[59:12] role of the

[59:13] Hulk

Dan McCoy

[59:13] there's not

[59:14] okay there's

Elliott Kalan

[59:15] never been one

[59:15] called the

[59:15] golem right

[59:16] there is

Dan McCoy

[59:18] why you're

[59:18] berating me

Elliott Kalan

[59:19] other than

[59:20] that's our

[59:21] bit

[59:21] I hope that

[59:23] satisfies you

[59:24] if it doesn't

[59:25] I'm sorry

[59:25] next question

[59:25] please

S4

[59:26] hi I'm

[59:28] Erica

[59:28] last name

[59:29] withheld

[59:29] I was gonna

[59:30] ask a question

[59:31] about the

[59:32] Aramic Wars

[59:32] but since

[59:33] that's kind

[59:34] of like

Elliott Kalan

[59:34] let's not

[59:36] open that

[59:37] bandage

[59:37] thank you

S5

[59:38] I was gonna

[59:40] ask

[59:40] Christoph Waltz

[59:42] in this movie

Stuart Wellington

[59:43] is fine

[59:43] we've covered

[59:44] that

S5

[59:44] I mean

[59:46] and not to

[59:47] dunk on him

[59:47] more but

[59:48] this is now

[59:49] the second

[59:49] movie that

[59:50] he's been

[59:50] in where

[59:51] he's like

[59:51] played a

[59:52] character that's

[59:53] involved with

[59:54] a character

[59:54] with big eyes

[59:55] so what's

[59:55] all that

[59:56] about

[59:56] he's typecast

[59:58] by Hollywood

[59:58] as this

[59:59] character

Stuart Wellington

[59:59] involved with

[59:59] big eyes

[1:00:00] characters

[1:00:00] now I think

[1:00:01] part of it

[1:00:02] is that he

[1:00:02] does kind

[1:00:03] of look like

[1:00:04] the way the

[1:00:05] character's drawn

[1:00:06] in the comics

[1:00:06] like he's got

[1:00:07] that kind

[1:00:07] of I don't

[1:00:08] know

[1:00:08] Mac Tonight

[1:00:09] type

[1:00:09] quality

Elliott Kalan

[1:00:09] Mac Tonight

[1:00:12] why did they

Stuart Wellington

[1:00:13] just go get

[1:00:14] Jay Leno

[1:00:14] then I don't

[1:00:15] understand

[1:00:15] that's true

[1:00:16] why didn't

[1:00:17] they get

[1:00:17] famed actor

[1:00:19] box office

[1:00:20] draw Jay Leno

[1:00:21] ever since he

[1:00:21] teamed up with

Elliott Kalan

[1:00:22] Pat Morita

[1:00:23] he's been a

[1:00:23] box office

[1:00:24] legend

[1:00:24] you see this

[1:00:25] you see this

[1:00:26] so I would

[1:00:27] say I just

[1:00:27] want to say

[1:00:28] something about

[1:00:28] Christoph Waltz

[1:00:29] here I like

[1:00:29] Christoph Waltz

[1:00:30] a lot I don't

[1:00:31] think I think

[1:00:31] he's really

[1:00:32] great but

[1:00:32] for some

[1:00:33] reason they've

[1:00:34] been putting

[1:00:34] him in roles

[1:00:35] that are just

[1:00:35] like not the

[1:00:36] right ones for

[1:00:37] him and the

[1:00:37] fact that

[1:00:38] this character's

[1:00:39] last name is

[1:00:39] Ito tells me

[1:00:41] that this should

[1:00:42] probably be a

[1:00:43] Japanese character

[1:00:43] with a Japanese

[1:00:44] actor not a

[1:00:45] famously Austrian

[1:00:46] actor it's not

[1:00:48] even like they

[1:00:48] could be like we

[1:00:49] didn't know where

[1:00:49] he was from I

[1:00:50] don't know is he

[1:00:51] known for playing

[1:00:52] Germano Austrian

[1:00:53] characters I don't

[1:00:54] know so he maybe

[1:00:56] wasn't right for this

[1:00:56] one but hey

[1:00:57] Christoph you know

[1:00:58] what I still like

[1:00:59] you save the last

[1:01:00] Waltz for me

[1:01:01] can't say anything

[1:01:05] after that

[1:01:06] Ryan last name

Dan McCoy

[1:01:10] withheld

Elliott Kalan

[1:01:10] is you or

[1:01:12] someone you're

[1:01:12] looking for

[1:01:13] you might be a

[1:01:15] hunter warrior

S5

[1:01:15] a lot of movies

[1:01:18] become cult

[1:01:18] classics but only

[1:01:19] if you become

[1:01:20] like midnight

[1:01:21] movie like

[1:01:22] showings where

[1:01:23] you shout at

[1:01:24] the screen and

[1:01:25] there's like a

[1:01:26] shadow cast you

[1:01:27] throw things to

[1:01:28] the screen and

[1:01:28] stuff like the

[1:01:29] room and rocky

[1:01:31] horror what movie

[1:01:32] that's a cult

[1:01:33] classic would you

[1:01:34] guys elevate to

[1:01:35] a midnight

[1:01:36] madness sort of

[1:01:38] thing and what

[1:01:39] would you shout

[1:01:40] scream would you

[1:01:40] throw it like

Dan McCoy

[1:01:41] for example

[1:01:42] would you throw

[1:01:42] like a hostess

[1:01:43] ding-dongs at

[1:01:44] the screen during

[1:01:45] a certain scene

[1:01:46] of a certain

[1:01:46] movie Stuart's

[1:01:47] interesting

[1:01:49] I'm picking up

[1:01:50] what you're putting

[1:01:51] down

[1:01:52] I just

[1:01:54] I just

[1:01:56] remembered

[1:01:56] that from our

[1:01:57] last live show

[1:01:58] we had some

[1:01:59] audio problems

[1:01:59] so we should

[1:02:00] probably start

[1:02:00] repeating questions

[1:02:02] after people ask

[1:02:04] them by the way

Elliott Kalan

[1:02:04] great time to

[1:02:06] remember it Dan

[1:02:07] spot on

[1:02:10] earning the

[1:02:11] producer credit

[1:02:12] once again

[1:02:13] so Dan

Stuart Wellington

[1:02:14] do you remember

[1:02:15] the question

[1:02:15] or were you too

[1:02:16] busy thinking

[1:02:17] about that part

[1:02:18] what would

[1:02:19] elevate a

Dan McCoy

[1:02:20] mere

[1:02:20] what movie

[1:02:22] would we

[1:02:22] to a midnight

[1:02:23] movie smash

[1:02:23] what movie

[1:02:24] would we

[1:02:25] elevate

[1:02:25] and I think

Elliott Kalan

[1:02:25] it's kind of

[1:02:27] obvious for me

[1:02:27] there's a little

[1:02:28] guy he goes by

[1:02:30] the initials

[1:02:31] NB and he's

[1:02:32] got a little

[1:02:32] movie called

[1:02:33] fateful findings

[1:02:34] that's right

[1:02:34] it's Neil

[1:02:34] Breen and

[1:02:36] that movie is

[1:02:37] a strange

[1:02:38] work of

[1:02:39] maniac

[1:02:40] outsider

[1:02:40] art

[1:02:41] and I

[1:02:42] think I

[1:02:42] would throw

[1:02:42] laptops at

[1:02:43] the screen

[1:02:44] every time he

[1:02:46] hurls his

[1:02:47] laptops off the

[1:02:47] desk in anger

[1:02:48] or also in

[1:02:50] any of the

[1:02:50] scenes where he

[1:02:51] is kissing a

[1:02:51] woman and it

[1:02:52] pans down and

[1:02:52] a shirt falls on

[1:02:53] the ground

[1:02:53] which signifies

[1:02:55] in his unique

[1:02:55] artistic iconography

[1:02:57] sex

[1:02:57] I would throw a

[1:02:59] shirt at the

[1:02:59] screen

[1:03:00] but I think

Stuart Wellington

[1:03:01] I think he'd

[1:03:01] beat you to the

[1:03:02] punch because

[1:03:02] he doesn't let

[1:03:03] any theater

[1:03:04] screen his

[1:03:05] movies past

[1:03:06] 7pm

[1:03:07] for exactly

[1:03:08] this reason

[1:03:09] for that

[1:03:09] exact reason

[1:03:10] he does not

Dan McCoy

[1:03:10] want to be a

[1:03:11] figure of fun

[1:03:12] too late

[1:03:12] Neil Breen

Stuart Wellington

[1:03:13] I don't know

[1:03:15] I would say

[1:03:15] one of my

[1:03:16] favorite Halloween

[1:03:17] movies is a

[1:03:18] movie called

[1:03:18] Night of the

[1:03:19] Demons and

[1:03:20] it's a great

[1:03:21] horror movie

[1:03:22] great Halloween

[1:03:22] movie and I

[1:03:24] feel like it'd

[1:03:24] be a blast to

[1:03:25] watch as a

[1:03:25] midnight movie

[1:03:26] where you

[1:03:26] throw candy

[1:03:27] or apples

[1:03:28] with razor blades

[1:03:29] in them at the

[1:03:29] screen or

[1:03:30] something

[1:03:30] you can do

[1:03:31] that right

[1:03:31] you can do

[1:03:33] you have to

[1:03:33] make them

[1:03:34] yourself or

[1:03:35] else you

[1:03:35] don't get

[1:03:36] the love

[1:03:36] so that's

[1:03:37] what I would

[1:03:38] say Night

[1:03:38] of the Demons

[1:03:39] Daniel

Dan McCoy

[1:03:40] you know I

[1:03:42] am a big

[1:03:43] proponent of

[1:03:44] my favorite

[1:03:45] zombie film is

[1:03:46] Return of the

[1:03:46] Living Dead

[1:03:47] which is

[1:03:49] popular amongst

[1:03:50] horror comedy

[1:03:51] folk but not

[1:03:52] necessarily huge

[1:03:53] in the world

[1:03:54] not on the

[1:03:54] AFI list

[1:03:55] yeah

[1:03:55] I was looking

[1:03:56] at best

[1:03:57] bad horror movie

[1:03:59] list because I

[1:03:59] was going to do

[1:04:00] a screening of

[1:04:01] some bad horror

[1:04:01] movies and

[1:04:02] there are all

[1:04:03] these lists with

[1:04:03] like movies that

[1:04:04] are clearly meant

[1:04:05] to be tongue-in-cheek

[1:04:06] and that was one

[1:04:06] of them on there

[1:04:07] and it made me

[1:04:07] very angry

[1:04:08] but Return of the

[1:04:09] Living Dead

[1:04:10] punk rock version

[1:04:11] of a zombie film

[1:04:12] and I think you

[1:04:13] should throw

[1:04:13] a Merkin

[1:04:14] yeah Merkins

[1:04:15] yeah we both

[1:04:15] have the same

[1:04:16] joke

[1:04:16] Merkins

[1:04:17] in honor of

[1:04:18] the scene where

[1:04:19] you gotta buy

[1:04:20] a Merkin

[1:04:20] yeah

[1:04:21] you gotta buy

Stuart Wellington

[1:04:22] a Merkin

[1:04:22] no they have

[1:04:23] them in the

[1:04:23] fucking movie

[1:04:24] if you're a

Dan McCoy

[1:04:24] true fan Elliot

[1:04:25] you gotta commit

[1:04:26] I guess that's

[1:04:27] true

[1:04:28] you gotta go to

[1:04:28] the Merkin

[1:04:29] warehouse

[1:04:30] I'm sure

[1:04:31] it's Merkin

[1:04:32] dot com

[1:04:33] you gotta go

[1:04:34] down to

[1:04:34] Merkin

[1:04:34] it

[1:04:35] Merkin

[1:04:36] it

Elliott Kalan

[1:04:38] alright

[1:04:39] maybe do another

[1:04:40] pass that one

[1:04:41] question

[1:04:41] I hope what you

[1:04:42] wanted to hear

[1:04:42] was that

[1:04:43] so thank you

[1:04:43] very much

[1:04:44] okay

[1:04:45] coming up next

[1:04:46] next questioner

[1:04:47] hey I'm Matt

[1:04:47] first time long time

[1:04:49] Matt last name

[1:04:50] is first time long time

[1:04:51] yeah

[1:04:52] it's a family name

S5

[1:04:53] so this movie

[1:04:54] was released

[1:04:55] they all are

[1:04:56] Dan

Elliott Kalan

[1:05:01] sometimes you do

[1:05:02] tickle me

[1:05:03] I'll see myself

S5

[1:05:07] so this movie

[1:05:08] was released

[1:05:08] as Alita

[1:05:09] Battle Angel

[1:05:09] but the manga

[1:05:11] it's based on

[1:05:11] is Battle Angel

[1:05:12] Alita

[1:05:13] well they read

[1:05:14] backwards in Japan

[1:05:15] and I thought

[1:05:17] of this question

[1:05:18] when the

[1:05:19] Friendly Fire

[1:05:19] episode in the

[1:05:20] donor feed

[1:05:20] reviewed

[1:05:21] Edge of Tomorrow

[1:05:22] which has its name

[1:05:23] changed to

[1:05:24] Live Die Repeat

[1:05:24] and it's now

[1:05:25] officially known

[1:05:26] as Live Die Repeat

[1:05:26] so were there

[1:05:27] any movies

[1:05:27] that you would

[1:05:28] officially change

[1:05:29] the title of

[1:05:30] to something else

[1:05:31] are there any movies

Dan McCoy

[1:05:32] we would officially

[1:05:33] change the title

[1:05:34] of to something else

Stuart Wellington

[1:05:35] there's a movie

[1:05:37] so there's a movie

[1:05:38] starring Guy Pearce

[1:05:39] where he has to

[1:05:41] break into a jail

[1:05:42] that's in outer space

[1:05:44] yeah

[1:05:45] any sane person

[1:05:48] would have called

[1:05:49] it space jail

Dan McCoy

[1:05:50] but what do they

[1:05:52] call it

[1:05:53] the breakout

[1:05:53] it's like

[1:05:54] the greatest game

[1:05:55] lockout

[1:05:56] lockout

Elliott Kalan

[1:05:57] lockout

[1:05:58] terrible

[1:05:58] space jail

[1:05:59] I can't forget it

[1:06:00] that's like

[1:06:03] there's a

[1:06:03] there's a movie

[1:06:04] with

[1:06:04] is it The Rock

[1:06:05] and

[1:06:06] some other dude

[1:06:08] and it's called

[1:06:09] I think The Roundup

[1:06:09] or something like that

[1:06:10] The Roundabout

[1:06:12] and the original title

[1:06:14] was Hell Dorado

[1:06:14] which is a much

[1:06:15] better name

[1:06:16] I mean I think

Dan McCoy

[1:06:19] we talked about

[1:06:19] when we did Devil

[1:06:20] that it should be

[1:06:21] Hellivator

[1:06:22] should be called

[1:06:22] Hellivator

[1:06:22] obvious name

Stuart Wellington

[1:06:24] or are we

[1:06:25] are we done

[1:06:26] with Devil Vader

[1:06:27] I thought that was

[1:06:28] pretty good too

[1:06:28] I don't

Dan McCoy

[1:06:29] let me explain to you

[1:06:30] backstage why that's worse

Elliott Kalan

[1:06:31] I mean still better

[1:06:33] than Devil

[1:06:33] oh yeah

[1:06:34] don't get me wrong

[1:06:35] which doesn't get across

[1:06:36] the most salient point

[1:06:37] which is that elevator

[1:06:38] but again even elevator

[1:06:40] is not a good name

[1:06:41] for that

[1:06:41] because as George Carlin

[1:06:42] pointed out

[1:06:42] it goes down

[1:06:43] as well as up

[1:06:44] the name only tells

[1:06:45] half the story

[1:06:45] that's a George Carlin joke

[1:06:47] so I guess that

[1:06:48] an elevator

[1:06:48] should be called

[1:06:49] like a vertical people mover

[1:06:51] or a vert poove

Dan McCoy

[1:06:52] all right

[1:06:54] well moving on

[1:06:55] yeah we can get through

[1:06:58] this whole line

[1:06:59] and then go

Elliott Kalan

[1:07:00] that's perfect

[1:07:01] okay two more questions

[1:07:02] two more questions

[1:07:02] Dan you sound like

[1:07:03] you got a place to be

[1:07:04] and that place is

[1:07:04] setting up for our next show

[1:07:06] all right

[1:07:06] hey guys

[1:07:07] Andrew

[1:07:08] last name with Held

[1:07:08] hey Andrew

[1:07:09] thanks for being here

[1:07:10] hey

[1:07:10] so tomorrow's for Shoshana

[1:07:11] getting the podcast

[1:07:13] you said that

[1:07:14] like you were accusing us

[1:07:15] tomorrow's for Shoshana

[1:07:16] you should be at home

[1:07:17] preparing for the new year

[1:07:19] with your family

[1:07:19] you have challahs to bake

[1:07:21] I'm pretty late

[1:07:21] you've got brisket to roast

S5

[1:07:23] tomorrow's for Shoshana

[1:07:24] after that

[1:07:25] in the days before Yom Kippur

[1:07:26] we're supposed to apologize

[1:07:27] to people for our sins

[1:07:29] would you guys like to apologize

[1:07:30] to each other

[1:07:31] for what you've done

[1:07:31] to each other

[1:07:32] over the past year

Elliott Kalan

[1:07:32] thank you

[1:07:34] okay

[1:07:34] yeah guys

[1:07:35] would you like to apologize

[1:07:36] to me

[1:07:36] that's a good question

[1:07:37] thank you for reminding me

[1:07:38] of my sacred obligation

[1:07:40] as a member of the Hebrew race

[1:07:42] Dan

[1:07:43] I would like to apologize

[1:07:44] to you

[1:07:45] for making fun of

[1:07:47] your

[1:07:47] in retrospect

[1:07:48] not

[1:07:49] super crazy

[1:07:51] wish to see

[1:07:52] more information

[1:07:53] about the Irm War

[1:07:54] I realize that

[1:07:56] while it is

[1:07:57] a strange choice

[1:07:58] and would bog down

[1:07:59] the movie unnecessarily

[1:08:01] your desire

[1:08:02] to learn more

[1:08:03] is merely

[1:08:04] as I mentioned before

[1:08:05] the movie

[1:08:05] acting upon you

[1:08:06] in the way

[1:08:07] it is meant to

[1:08:07] by making you curious

[1:08:09] about what's going to happen

[1:08:10] much as the Jewish people

[1:08:11] are curious about many things

[1:08:13] and

[1:08:15] so I apologize

[1:08:16] for making fun of you

[1:08:16] so much

[1:08:17] about that

[1:08:18] specific thing

[1:08:21] and nothing else

[1:08:23] Elliot

Dan McCoy

[1:08:27] I would like to apologize

[1:08:30] to you

[1:08:31] okay here comes

[1:08:32] the sweet stuff

[1:08:33] for making our

[1:08:34] private argument

[1:08:36] so public

[1:08:37] and

[1:08:39] I would like to say

[1:08:41] that even though

[1:08:41] we have differing opinions

[1:08:42] on dramaturgy

[1:08:44] I still count you

[1:08:45] one of my

[1:08:46] greatest friends

[1:08:47] same here Dan

[1:08:49] same here

[1:08:50] Stuart

[1:08:50] we haven't talked

[1:08:52] to you yet

[1:08:52] I would like to

[1:08:55] apologize to you

[1:08:55] for that

[1:08:56] I would also like

[1:08:58] to apologize

[1:08:59] to you

[1:08:59] for getting so angry

[1:09:00] at you

[1:09:01] for your inability

[1:09:02] to respond

[1:09:03] to any of my emails

[1:09:04] Tan

[1:09:13] Tan

Dan McCoy

[1:09:13] tomorrow is

Stuart Wellington

[1:09:20] Rosh Hashanah

[1:09:21] now

[1:09:25] I would like

[1:09:27] to apologize

[1:09:27] about the love

[1:09:30] that your cat

[1:09:31] Archie

[1:09:32] clearly seems

[1:09:33] to have for me

[1:09:33] when I come

[1:09:35] in the room

[1:09:36] he ignores you

[1:09:38] in fact

[1:09:38] pushes you out

[1:09:40] of the way

[1:09:41] to rush into my arms

[1:09:43] and try and stick

[1:09:44] his entire head

[1:09:45] up my nostril

[1:09:46] this is all accurate

[1:09:50] what I did

[1:09:51] to bring that on

[1:09:52] and for that

[1:09:54] I'm sorry

[1:09:55] thank you

[1:09:56] and Elliot

[1:09:56] after you moved away

[1:09:58] I'm sorry

[1:09:59] that I made

[1:09:59] a little

[1:10:00] tiny Elliot

[1:10:01] in my apartment

[1:10:01] and I yelled

[1:10:04] at it

[1:10:05] every time

[1:10:05] I was mad

[1:10:06] that you had

[1:10:07] moved away

[1:10:07] I made it

[1:10:12] out of

[1:10:12] Play-Doh

[1:10:13] and cat hair

[1:10:14] and a fair

[1:10:17] amount

[1:10:18] of my spit

[1:10:18] and for that

[1:10:21] I'm sorry

[1:10:22] I appreciate

Elliott Kalan

[1:10:24] the apology

[1:10:24] and the news

[1:10:26] about that

[1:10:26] well

[1:10:30] we've all

[1:10:31] been through

[1:10:31] something

[1:10:32] that would be

[1:10:32] a perfect way

[1:10:33] to end the show

[1:10:33] we've got

[1:10:34] one more question

[1:10:35] hi

[1:10:37] first name

S5

[1:10:38] Emma

[1:10:38] last name

[1:10:39] take your pick

[1:10:40] Watson

[1:10:40] Stone

[1:10:41] Thompson

Elliott Kalan

[1:10:42] wow

[1:10:42] okay

[1:10:43] multiple choice

[1:10:43] last name

[1:10:44] cool

[1:10:44] that's the future

[1:10:45] very post human

[1:10:45] I like it

[1:10:46] so to circle

[1:10:48] back around

[1:10:48] to the wonderful

[1:10:49] presentation on

[1:10:50] Boston that you

[1:10:50] started with

[1:10:51] I was wondering

[1:10:52] what your

[1:10:52] favorite movie

[1:10:53] set in the

[1:10:54] city of Boston

[1:10:54] is

[1:10:55] favorite Boston

[1:10:56] movie

[1:10:56] so she referenced

[1:10:58] my presentation

[1:10:59] before the show

[1:11:00] which was about

[1:11:00] beans in the movies

[1:11:01] in honor of

[1:11:03] Beantown

[1:11:03] which is not

[1:11:04] technically about

Stuart Wellington

[1:11:05] none of those

[1:11:06] movies are about

[1:11:07] Boston

Elliott Kalan

[1:11:07] well if you want

[1:11:08] to hear my

[1:11:08] thoughts on movies

[1:11:09] about Boston

[1:11:09] come to the

[1:11:10] Late Show

[1:11:10] but so

[1:11:12] but I don't

[1:11:13] know

[1:11:13] maybe

[1:11:13] I mean

[1:11:14] here's the thing

[1:11:15] the thing is

[1:11:16] there's a lot

[1:11:16] of movies

[1:11:17] that are set

[1:11:17] in Boston

[1:11:17] and there's

[1:11:18] a lot of

[1:11:18] great movies

[1:11:18] set in Boston

[1:11:19] it is

[1:11:20] surprising

[1:11:21] that such

[1:11:22] a teeny

[1:11:22] tiny

[1:11:23] itty bitty

[1:11:23] little city

[1:11:24] has so many

[1:11:26] movies set

[1:11:26] in it

[1:11:27] so many

[1:11:27] great movies

[1:11:28] it's just

[1:11:30] a little

[1:11:30] put it in

[1:11:31] your pocket

[1:11:31] city

[1:11:31] but I know

[1:11:34] it's a tough

[1:11:34] one because

[1:11:35] like you got

[1:11:35] movies like

[1:11:36] The Verdict

[1:11:37] is set in

[1:11:37] Boston

[1:11:37] like Paper

[1:11:38] Chase is set

[1:11:39] in Boston

[1:11:39] I got mine

[1:11:40] yeah

[1:11:41] I'm gonna say

Stuart Wellington

[1:11:42] the book

[1:11:42] Johnny Tremaine

[1:11:43] I mean I think

Elliott Kalan

[1:11:46] they made a movie

[1:11:47] of that at some

[1:11:48] point

[1:11:48] maybe

Stuart Wellington

[1:11:49] I'm googling

[1:11:51] so

Dan McCoy

[1:11:51] you're like

[1:11:54] Ben Affleck

[1:11:55] movies

[1:11:56] yeah

[1:11:58] is Ben and

[1:12:00] me the one

[1:12:01] about the mouse

[1:12:02] and Benjamin

[1:12:02] Franklin

[1:12:03] Boston

[1:12:03] no Philadelphia

Elliott Kalan

[1:12:04] so I'm gonna

[1:12:05] say The Friends

[1:12:06] of Eddie Coyle

[1:12:07] I think is my

[1:12:08] movie

[1:12:08] because I love

[1:12:11] old Robert

[1:12:12] Mitchum

[1:12:12] he's so sad

[1:12:13] well

[1:12:15] Dan

[1:12:16] do you just

[1:12:18] want to name

[1:12:18] no one's

[1:12:19] gonna tell

[1:12:19] you're wrong

[1:12:19] unless you

[1:12:22] say like

[1:12:23] Ted 2

[1:12:23] I guess

[1:12:24] but maybe

[1:12:27] that's your

[1:12:27] favorite

[1:12:27] you know

[1:12:28] what Dan

[1:12:28] I'm criticizing

[1:12:29] your choices

[1:12:29] too much

[1:12:30] if you want

[1:12:31] to say

[1:12:31] Ted 2

[1:12:31] go right

[1:12:32] ahead

[1:12:32] and I

[1:12:33] will not

[1:12:33] joke

[1:12:33] Dan's

[1:12:35] Dan loves

Stuart Wellington

[1:12:36] Ted 2

[1:12:36] he loves

[1:12:37] Ted 2

[1:12:37] awesome movie

Dan McCoy

[1:12:38] I'll say

[1:12:40] The Departed

[1:12:41] which I remember

[1:12:41] is set in

[1:12:42] Boston

[1:12:42] because

[1:12:43] that goddamn

[1:12:44] Dropkick

[1:12:44] Murphy song

[1:12:45] is played

[1:12:46] every five

[1:12:47] minutes

[1:12:48] sounds like

[1:12:49] you got

[1:12:49] some issues

[1:12:49] with that

[1:12:50] movie

[1:12:50] Dan

[1:12:50] no it's

[1:12:51] good

[1:12:51] it's good

Elliott Kalan

[1:12:52] and that's

[1:12:54] the show

[1:12:54] thank you very

[1:12:55] much for the

[1:12:55] questions

[1:12:56] thank you very

[1:12:58] much for being

[1:12:58] here with us

[1:12:59] thank you

[1:12:59] WDR

[1:13:01] safe space

[1:13:01] thank you

[1:13:01] Boston

[1:13:02] thank you

[1:13:02] for coming

[1:13:02] goodnight

[1:13:03] goodnight

[1:13:04] thank you

Stuart Wellington

[1:13:04] oh man

[1:13:11] that was so

[1:13:11] much fun

[1:13:12] can you

[1:13:12] believe we

[1:13:13] said all

[1:13:13] that stuff

Dan McCoy

[1:13:14] I certainly

[1:13:15] can't

[1:13:16] especially

[1:13:16] because I've

[1:13:17] forgotten all

[1:13:17] of it

[1:13:18] wouldn't that

Stuart Wellington

[1:13:20] make it harder

[1:13:20] to believe

Dan McCoy

[1:13:21] that you have

[1:13:23] no memory

[1:13:24] if you

[1:13:25] play me a

[1:13:26] tape

[1:13:26] of myself

[1:13:28] talking

[1:13:28] I'm gonna be

[1:13:29] pretty credulous

[1:13:30] I gotta say

[1:13:31] you know

[1:13:31] if it sounds

[1:13:32] like me

[1:13:32] I'll be like

[1:13:33] oh yeah

[1:13:33] I probably

[1:13:34] did that

[1:13:35] officer

Elliott Kalan

[1:13:36] that's why

[1:13:37] you're known

[1:13:37] as the

[1:13:37] credulous

[1:13:38] hulk

[1:13:38] because of

[1:13:39] your buff

[1:13:39] bod

[1:13:39] and also

[1:13:40] that you'll

[1:13:40] believe

[1:13:40] anything

[1:13:41] well

Stuart Wellington

[1:13:45] that was

[1:13:46] that was

[1:13:47] our live

[1:13:47] episode of

[1:13:48] Alita

[1:13:48] colon

[1:13:49] battle

[1:13:50] angel

[1:13:50] where we

[1:13:51] learned that

[1:13:51] Dan loves

[1:13:52] backstory

[1:13:52] shove it

Elliott Kalan

[1:13:54] into his

[1:13:55] mouth

[1:13:55] all the

[1:13:55] backstory

[1:13:56] tell him

[1:13:56] about all

[1:13:57] the grandparents

[1:13:57] and great

[1:13:58] grandparents

[1:13:58] of the

[1:13:59] characters

[1:13:59] all the

[1:14:00] stuff they

[1:14:00] did

[1:14:00] he wants

[1:14:01] to know

[1:14:01] how'd Han Solo

[1:14:01] get that

[1:14:02] jacket

[1:14:02] he wants

[1:14:03] to know

Stuart Wellington

[1:14:04] Dan will

[1:14:05] clean that

[1:14:05] plate

[1:14:06] and then

[1:14:06] ask for

[1:14:07] more

[1:14:07] and then

[1:14:08] ask you

Elliott Kalan

[1:14:08] where the

[1:14:09] plate

[1:14:09] came from

Dan McCoy

[1:14:10] and he

[1:14:10] wants to

[1:14:10] go to

[1:14:10] the

[1:14:10] factory

[1:14:11] and watch

[1:14:12] them

[1:14:12] make it

[1:14:12] the sand

[1:14:13] that this

[1:14:14] plate

[1:14:14] was made

[1:14:15] from

[1:14:15] which

[1:14:16] desert

[1:14:17] quarry

[1:14:18] was that

[1:14:19] mined

[1:14:20] from

[1:14:20] is that

[1:14:21] what you do

[1:14:21] with sand

[1:14:22] actually tell

[1:14:23] me the

[1:14:23] history

[1:14:23] of sand

[1:14:24] well I hate

[1:14:25] it it gets

[1:14:26] in your butt

Elliott Kalan

[1:14:27] spoken like

[1:14:29] a true

[1:14:29] Jedi

[1:14:30] so that

[1:14:32] was Alita

[1:14:33] Battle Angel

[1:14:33] we hope

[1:14:34] that everybody

[1:14:35] who's been

[1:14:36] listening has

[1:14:37] enjoyed it

[1:14:37] once again

[1:14:38] we remind

[1:14:39] you that you

[1:14:39] can still

[1:14:39] go to

[1:14:40] maximumfun.org

[1:14:41] slash join

[1:14:41] become a

[1:14:42] member if

[1:14:43] you're not

[1:14:44] membership

[1:14:45] there's lots

[1:14:46] of great

[1:14:47] things but

[1:14:47] you heard

[1:14:48] all about

[1:14:48] it during

[1:14:48] the pledge
