Project Hail Mary (2026)
This week on Born to Watch, the boys boldly go where they rarely venture, into the world of brand-new cinema, with their Project Hail Mary Movie Review. Based on Andy Weir’s bestselling novel and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, this 2026 sci-fi epic arrives with huge expectations, a massive budget, and one very important question: can modern Hollywood still make crowd-pleasing blockbuster entertainment that leaves audiences smiling?
Whitey, Damo and special guest Will the Worky strap themselves into the Hail Mary spacecraft and dive headfirst into one of the biggest films of the year. With Ryan Gosling leading the charge as Ryland Grace, a reluctant hero tasked with saving humanity from extinction, the crew break down a film that combines hard science, emotional storytelling, spectacular visuals and a surprising amount of humour.
The boys discuss their experiences seeing the film on the big screen and whether Project Hail Mary is exactly the kind of cinematic event modern audiences have been craving. In an era where many blockbuster films come and go without leaving a lasting impression, this one feels different. It has heart, humour, intelligence, and a genuine sense of wonder that recalls the classic Spielberg and Lucas adventures of decades past.
One of the major talking points is Ryan Gosling's performance. Already one of Hollywood's biggest stars, Gosling continues to prove that he can effortlessly jump between drama, comedy and action. From The Nice Guys to Barbie, he has become one of the few modern actors who are completely willing to take the piss out of themselves, and the Born to Watch crew debate whether anyone in Hollywood currently does it better.
Of course, no discussion of Project Hail Mary would be complete without talking about Rocky. The mysterious alien engineer quickly became a fan favourite after the book's release, and the boys examine why Grace and Rocky's relationship forms the emotional core of the entire film. What could have been a simple science-fiction adventure evolves into a story about friendship, sacrifice and finding the courage to do the right thing when everything is on the line.
Will brings his unique perspective to the conversation after recently finishing the novel, comparing key elements of the book and film while highlighting what made Andy Weir's source material so compelling in the first place. The team also dives into the science behind the story, exploring the concept of astrophage, interstellar travel and whether the movie’s scientific ideas hold up under scrutiny.
As always, the discussion goes far beyond the movie itself. There are debates about modern cinema, movie-going habits, blockbuster filmmaking, favourite Ryan Gosling performances, German stoicism, Bunnings sausage sandwiches and plenty of classic Born to Watch chaos along the way.
The boys also explore the emotional journey of Ryland Grace, from a brilliant scientist hiding from responsibility to a man willing to sacrifice everything for a friend. It is this character arc that elevates Project Hail Mary above standard blockbuster fare and transforms it into something genuinely memorable.
So is Project Hail Mary the best movie of 2026 so far? Does it belong alongside modern sci-fi classics like Aliens? And can a giant alien rock really make grown adults emotional?
There is only one way to find out.

Whitey (0:00): It's not often Born to Watch does modern films, but this one just screamed that it needed to be done. All of us have seen it before we were supposed to see it. A project Hail Mary with a list of cast as long as Morgz's dick. Ryan Gosling and a couple other people and a rock. It's gonna be interesting.
Whitey (0:50): As I said, we'd never do modern films. Demo. How do you find it? This is our first movie apart from the instant reviews that we've done for say the Indiana Jones or avatars and stuff like that. Yep.
Whitey (1:03): But this will be the first full on born to watch treatment on a modern movie that we've done. I think so. You find 26. Yeah. I I don't think we've done anything like this before.
Unknown Speaker (1:13): And and when you look
Damo (1:14): at the list of movies in 2026 You've seen none of them.
Whitey (1:19): It's it's an interesting it's an interesting you know what? It's gonna it's gonna ramp up the back end of the year.
Unknown Speaker (1:25): Yeah. I think so.
Whitey (1:25): It does ramp up the back end of the year.
Damo (1:27): Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah. Electronic it's it's unusual.
Unknown Speaker (1:31): And then to find other movies from this
Unknown Speaker (1:32): year, very difficult. Unusual.
Unknown Speaker (1:34): Yeah. Yeah.
Whitey (1:35): Now, Wilbur, I know that you were reading the book. I was. Yeah. Yeah. And you you you actually messaged me and said, when does this movie come out?
Whitey (1:44): I'm nearly finished the book. Yeah. Yeah. So you are a book aficionado, obviously well read.
Will (1:50): Yes. I am. And thank you, Matt White, Shyamalan for having me back on the podcast. It is great to be part of the trio again. I feel like I feel like being in Damo and yourself's presence is like just being in the presence of the Dalai Lama and Jesus himself.
Unknown Speaker (2:07): Well, you
Unknown Speaker (2:07): choose who's who. It's Fergie. Well, Damo's a bit shorter, he'd be the Dalai Lama.
Unknown Speaker (2:11): Maybe he would be. Yeah. Pacifist by nature. Yeah. I read the book.
Will (2:18): I read the book over Easter. I was down at Hat Head having a surf and camping out with the family and the friends. Yeah. And I took the took the book and my middle son Charlie hijacked it off me and read it for the entire week and I couldn't get him off so then I had to wait till I got home from camping to be able to read the book.
Unknown Speaker (2:36): Yeah. But it was good.
Unknown Speaker (2:37): I was I was wrapped
Unknown Speaker (2:39): with it.
Unknown Speaker (2:39): Andy Wiz,
Unknown Speaker (2:40): the book's an excellent book.
Unknown Speaker (2:41): Oh. Yeah. Andy Wiz is very good. Yeah. Andy Wiz is very good.
Whitey (2:44): And we're gonna talk a bit about in film school for FWITS about science of of the movies. Yes. And I think the beauty of it's the same as the Martian. There's a lot of real science behind these movies. And there's also some movies that don't have some real science that we're gonna talk about as well in that segment.
Whitey (3:01): Right. And I'm sure you'll know one of them.
Unknown Speaker (3:03): Okay.
Whitey (3:04): Straight away. But I was really anticipating this coming out of the cinema. I'm very selective about what I see at the movies nowadays. I don't see everything because what I'm finding it's what I'm finding is stuff turns around so quickly now. It's available so quickly that unless I'm fully invested in something, I'm not gonna go to the movies.
Whitey (3:32): Yeah. And I'm part of the problem, and I'm also part of the solution.
Damo (3:37): Look. I've been no times this year to the movies. I reckon I was at least once a month. If you if you
Unknown Speaker (3:43): go back over
Unknown Speaker (3:44): five plus years ago,
Unknown Speaker (3:45): I was not every month. COVID. I think pre COVID.
Damo (3:48): But the quality of the movies were just so better. Better. And and I was there every I reckon once a month at least. Last movie I saw was Avatar, and that was on Christmas Eve. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (3:58): Yeah. It's it's few and far between This
Unknown Speaker (4:00): was a did you didn't see this at the movies, did you, Will? Yes. I did. You did? Yep.
Unknown Speaker (4:04): This was He read the books. I would have been
Whitey (4:06): This was a very good cinema experience. This was one that I was I reckon anticipating to see a very, very good cinema experience and probably does lose something on the smaller screen.
Unknown Speaker (4:22): Yeah.
Whitey (4:23): Yeah. Just the because there are some incredible visuals in this movie.
Unknown Speaker (4:28): Yeah. I'm gonna talk about it later on. Yeah. There's some incredible visuals. So so nice.
Will (4:33): Yeah. Yeah.
Damo (4:33): It it was kind of yeah. Some unique sort of space sort of Yeah. I've got
Whitey (4:37): a question in question time about outside the spaceship. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, we are, of course, born to watch the movie podcast where we don't take ourselves or the movies too seriously at a less demo.
Unknown Speaker (4:51): Unless it's during Snorb's report Now today serious.
Unknown Speaker (4:54): Oh my god.
Unknown Speaker (4:55): There is one.
Unknown Speaker (4:56): There is one? Oh, yeah. Alright. Well, there's a German in it. So there's Irina Veinchaub.
Whitey (5:01): I read somewhere like I reckon she gonna wreck it.
Damo (5:03): Well, I I didn't go too deep. But I I the Germans aren't like the French. We know the French, you know, like, it's compulsory snob service Yes. Once they've joined acting. The Germans are pretty close to that.
Unknown Speaker (5:14): Yeah. Mhmm. So I'm looking forward to it.

Damo (6:56): Yes. I am on two. I watched it about a month ago. Yes. And to do this, I thought I'm just gonna wing it.
Damo (7:02): And then when I was thinking back, it's very difficult to remember because this so sort of mentioning earlier, there's no real macro. There are some macro things, but
Unknown Speaker (7:09): Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (7:10): The detail in this movie is just a lot of the little conversational bits. Yeah. And I couldn't remember them. Yeah. So I thought, I've actually gotta watch this again.
Whitey (7:18): There's a lot of there's a lot of detail in everything. Yeah. In when he hit the ship on his own. There's a lot of like, when he first wakes up in the ship, there's a lot of stuff that's seriously funny there
Unknown Speaker (7:32): that you don't It's I know.
Unknown Speaker (7:33): You you you forget.
Unknown Speaker (7:35): It's just it's just rolling line after line. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (7:38): He's funny, man. Yeah.
Whitey (7:39): He's good. He's very good. Look. I I'm I'm on three sort of movies, and I've seen it twice. And the last time I watched it, which was, like, about a week ago, I'd watched half of it and then pretty much had to go back and watch that half again after watching the back half.
Unknown Speaker (7:56): Yeah.
Whitey (7:57): So, yeah, three. Sort of the movies, loved it. Was and sort actually, sort of the movies with a pretty full cinema Yeah. Which was nice.
Unknown Speaker (8:07): Yep. There was this is a rare 2026 movie that had some hype, I think.
Whitey (8:11): Yes. No. Definitely. Definitely hype.
Damo (8:13): And, you know, Ryan Gosling's pretty big star. And No. Lot of pope people that read the book.
Whitey (8:19): But The Martian was a big movie. Yeah. So The Martian was a big movie, and
Unknown Speaker (8:23): The Martian's crazy. So it's the same author.
Whitey (8:24): Same author. Andy Weed. Okay. So Okay.
Unknown Speaker (8:26): Not only that, I think we're just we were just ripe for a movie Something decent. Escapism as well. Just a little bit of like, take me take me somewhere a bit fantastical with the
Whitey (8:36): with this. I I think it's it's such a feel good movie. Yeah. Yeah. There's not apart from the premise that the earth is dying, other than that, everything is essentially feel good Yeah.
Whitey (8:49): After that.
Unknown Speaker (8:50): Yeah. It's
Unknown Speaker (8:50): it yeah. Well, don't wanna go too deep into it.
Damo (8:52): Technically, the earth isn't dying. The sun's dying.
Unknown Speaker (8:55): The sun's dying. Yeah. But it's gonna kill the earth.
Unknown Speaker (8:57): Yeah. That's true.
Whitey (8:57): It doesn't take long either because it's frozen.
Unknown Speaker (8:59): Yeah. It's pretty cold. Well, that was, like, 06/20 Is it '6? '22 was it eleven years there?
Unknown Speaker (9:03): Twenty six years later.
Unknown Speaker (9:04): Yeah. Is it twenty six years later? Yeah. Okay.
Unknown Speaker (9:06): Wow. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (9:08): So if he comes back So there's no sequel in the in the in Well, you know, there's been nothing planned. Is there's there's another I mean,
Unknown Speaker (9:17): they were saying that it was gonna take him about four and a half years to back. So in in Yeah. With bit of relativity involved
Unknown Speaker (9:24): Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (9:24): Probably looking at about twenty years.
Unknown Speaker (9:26): I'm not gonna be pretty contemporary.
Unknown Speaker (9:28): The numbers. I didn't know. Oh, you did
Unknown Speaker (9:29): the numbers. Did you did a full It's it's arithmetic. You know? What he's done. He's done Gow with the color red.
Unknown Speaker (9:36): Yeah. Alright. He's done Gow with
Unknown Speaker (9:38): the color red. Like It's all his research.
Unknown Speaker (9:40): It's all
Unknown Speaker (9:40): his it's all real research. 6¢.
Unknown Speaker (9:42): See the red theme.
Unknown Speaker (9:43): Twenty years anyway. Okay. Yeah.
Damo (9:45): Good real hunting equation on your truck window.
Unknown Speaker (9:47): Then. Also did. You know, I I carry a whiteboard marker.
Unknown Speaker (9:50): It's a
Unknown Speaker (9:50): whiteboard marker. Rub it off. Yeah. No. I'll do it on the glass, but I could rub it off easily.
Will (9:54): You know?
Whitey (9:54): Rub it off or run Yeah. Well, I'll one out.
Unknown Speaker (9:57): Yeah. It's a combination.
Whitey (9:59): Somewhere in the middle. Yeah. Yeah. Somewhere in the middle. Now look, didn't find or didn't bother looking at a back of the DVD case synopsis, but here I'm gonna wing it and tell me how it goes.
Whitey (10:14): Ryan Grace is a ex super scientist who is now because he was proven wrong in one of his theories, which eventually is proven right. He's a teacher because he's given up. He then gets brought into this super secret government experiment to save the earth because the sun is dying and they don't know why. And what they've noticed is there's this Petrova line Petrova line, which they don't know what it is, but every planet that has this is dying. So Ryland goes in to find out what it is and they discover astrophage.
Whitey (10:51): He figures out how to fix it. Yeah. And then next thing we know, he's in space and he's solving the problem. That is project Hail Mary. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (11:01): It is.
Will (11:01): Yeah. I thought you this that whole thing then was then just basically an off the cuff intro into the thing that you'd written about the blur.
Unknown Speaker (11:08): That's just
Unknown Speaker (11:09): it. That was it.
Unknown Speaker (11:10): That was it. We just did that off the cuff.
Unknown Speaker (11:11): Fair enough.
Whitey (11:12): And, yeah, maybe in the future, we need to just do an off the cuff demo. You gotta tell us what the, intro is for the sixth sense, and you gotta come up with yourself what the synopsis is. Guy gets shot, he dies, he sees dead people. Yeah. Kid sees dead people.
Unknown Speaker (11:27): Well, that was quicker than your one.
Whitey (11:28): Yeah. It was. It's a quicker one to synopsize. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (11:32): You could yeah. Do it in ten minutes or less.
Whitey (11:34): I could I I didn't wanna throw in about Rocky because I think we don't wanna see about Rocky. No. He's best kept, which they don't do in the in the trailer. Which Which is what we're gonna watch right now. So strap yourselves in, people.
Unknown Speaker (11:47): I don't think I ever saw the trailer. Well, here
Unknown Speaker (11:49): you go.
Unknown Speaker (11:49): This is the final Actually, I
Unknown Speaker (11:51): did see the trailer.
Unknown Speaker (11:59): I understand that you think I'm the right person for this mission. I understand the stakes.
Unknown Speaker (12:08): Objects approaching.
Unknown Speaker (12:14): If we do nothing, Everything on this planet will go extinct, including us. Doctor Grace, the world is counting on you.
Unknown Speaker (12:35): No. No. No. No. I'm sorry.
Unknown Speaker (12:36): I'm sorry.
Unknown Speaker (12:57): I'm Grace. I'm gonna call you Rocky. We're here for the same reason. His son is dying too. If we're gonna save our planets, we have to learn how to communicate.
Unknown Speaker (13:07): Check this out. We have about 250 words. Let's find you a voice.
Unknown Speaker (13:15): Why is a school teacher in space?
Unknown Speaker (13:17): Nope. Why is a school teacher in space? Show me this.
Unknown Speaker (13:22): I am Rocky. I like.
Unknown Speaker (13:27): So I have a new roommate now. Hi, Grace. Together, we're pretty smart, but no one's ever done this before. It is time go. Think you mean go time, pal.
Unknown Speaker (13:48): There are infinite possibilities for this to go wrong. This ship wasn't built
Unknown Speaker (13:54): for this.
Unknown Speaker (13:57): Now.
Unknown Speaker (14:01): If Grace Rocky saves stars, we can go home. I think this is a one way trip for me. I will not let Grace die. That's a good trailer.
Unknown Speaker (14:37): Very good trailer.
Unknown Speaker (14:38): Very good trailer.
Damo (14:39): Very good trailer and really sucked you in.
Unknown Speaker (14:42): So I read a interview with the two directors Lord and Miller, is it I think it's Lord and Miller.
Unknown Speaker (14:50): I don't know.
Whitey (14:51): Forgot. They said that Phil Lord and Chris Miller, they said that the question was asked about, well, you've given Rocky away in the in the trailer, and they go, everyone knows there's a fucking alien in the movie. Well
Damo (15:07): A lot of people would. Yeah. Yeah. So Yeah. It's based on
Unknown Speaker (15:10): What's the Yeah. So we just everyone wants to see Rocky. This is what we've done.
Unknown Speaker (15:16): Yeah. But I I watched the movie without seeing that trailer. Yes. And when that big spaceship pulled up next to him, it was like, oh, what's this?
Unknown Speaker (15:23): Yeah. Like, I think was gonna be like the people in last starfighter?
Unknown Speaker (15:25): Well, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (15:26): It kinda it kinda look like
Unknown Speaker (15:27): the way it was moving. I thought with the the turd head.
Unknown Speaker (15:31): That was one of your first ones,
Unknown Speaker (15:32): wasn't it? Was his first one. My first one. It's his first one. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (15:37): One of the great movies. Let's talk let's talk some sequel on that.
Unknown Speaker (15:40): We die.
Unknown Speaker (15:41): Okay. Yeah. It's really good. Good trailer. Good music.
Whitey (15:46): There's good music in this movie.
Unknown Speaker (15:47): It is great music.
Whitey (15:48): All needle drops pretty much. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (15:50): Yeah. I I didn't take too much notice of it, but I know there was definitely lots of music being played.
Unknown Speaker (15:55): Yep. Alright. Hold on, gents.
Damo (15:57): And even that score bit, it was quite epic.
Unknown Speaker (15:59): I agree. Well, the whole movie. It's it's
Damo (16:01): and sort of almost like time and setting. Like, you can hear these these beats
Unknown Speaker (16:06): Beats.
Unknown Speaker (16:06): Yeah. Yeah.
Damo (16:07): That sort of make you quite anxious. Yeah. You know, the time's ticking. Hurry up, and the music actually mimics that. Yeah.
Damo (16:15): And it's like, holy shit. Get back in the bloody ship and
Whitey (16:18): Yeah. There's a lot of stuff that happens outside the ship, but I'm a bit like
Unknown Speaker (16:22): It's basically surfing on top of the rocket. There's some bits there. You go, how quick is he going? And he's just
Unknown Speaker (16:29): standing just lying on there?
Unknown Speaker (16:30): But I was wondering in space.
Unknown Speaker (16:33): No one can hear
Unknown Speaker (16:33): you, Greg. But if you're standing on top of the outside of the rocket, do you feel the the the the force, like like the wind, like you would if you stick your head out of a car window?
Will (16:44): But the force this this They'd have to be g forces. Centrifugal force still exists in space.
Unknown Speaker (16:49): Right.
Unknown Speaker (16:50): This is how they mimic a gravity like environment.
Unknown Speaker (16:52): That's how they get the the the constraint thing.
Unknown Speaker (16:54): They spread they pull out the extenders, and then they ship. Yeah. Spins around at center of mass. And then so if he's standing on the outside, he's gonna get kicked off it.
Unknown Speaker (17:03): Yeah. You'd think so, wouldn't you? Yep. Yep.
Unknown Speaker (17:05): Because there's yeah.
Unknown Speaker (17:05): Mean
Unknown Speaker (17:06): Well, he's pretty much standing out in the he's basically
Unknown Speaker (17:08): surfing tethered at one point. Yeah. Think he stays tethered, but you
Damo (17:11): in June riding the big bloody sand worms standing on top. He's riding the the rocket. There's a couple of
Unknown Speaker (17:17): moments there where they kind of bug it up the the actual
Unknown Speaker (17:20): It's alright.
Unknown Speaker (17:20): We'll we'll let it slide.
Will (17:22): Who who are we? Yeah. Just a simple plumber. Well,
Unknown Speaker (17:25): yeah. I don't even know what I am.
Unknown Speaker (17:27): Yeah. Do I?
Unknown Speaker (17:28): Man, a mini
Unknown Speaker (17:29): Shit talker. Just a man of shit
Unknown Speaker (17:31): talking. Critical
Whitey (17:37): thinking. IMDB rates project Hail Mary 8.3.
Unknown Speaker (17:42): Wow. Solid.
Whitey (17:43): You're gonna remember we've got recency bias a bit here, but it is number one, three, four in
Unknown Speaker (17:49): the top
Whitey (17:49): 200. Now I'm thinking maybe in the next six to twelve months, that'll probably drift a bit. I think it could be an eight movie. Could be an eight movie, high sevens eight movie. Yeah.
Whitey (18:00): Rotten Tomatoes certified fresh 94% on the tomato
Unknown Speaker (18:04): meter. There.
Whitey (18:05): But if 95% on the popcorn meter.
Unknown Speaker (18:08): So in context with movies of 2026, this is head and shoulders.
Whitey (18:12): Head and shoulders above. Head and shoulders, everything that's come out
Unknown Speaker (18:15): so far. Yeah. Yeah. And 2025 or maybe all June or something like that. Yeah.
Whitey (18:20): Seventeen point five percent on the cryometer.
Unknown Speaker (18:23): I yeah. I thought you might have cried. I thought
Unknown Speaker (18:25): it might have even
Unknown Speaker (18:26): got a bit higher, mate.
Whitey (18:27): I cried. I I did I I cried in the cinema, but I didn't cry on the next watches. Now last week with the 6¢, I weld a lot more. Yeah. And felt a lot more emotional especially in that car scene
Unknown Speaker (18:42): that was
Whitey (18:43): cheezed over. Yeah. But but this movie got me emotional and I did shed a tear in the cinema. Yeah. Not embarrassed to say there were people sitting
Unknown Speaker (18:55): next Did you hear people in the cinema crying at all? Did you did you work experience kid?
Will (18:59): No. I didn't notice anyone crying.
Whitey (19:01): I don't think it's a I don't think it's a sob movie. No. But I think it's a
Unknown Speaker (19:04): You can
Unknown Speaker (19:05): see probably you're a few, you know, nose blows
Will (19:07): or misty eyed. I just felt like there was something I've gotta look. You felt human. I'll confess. I've got a fairly stone cold Steve Austin at heart.
Will (19:16): Well, okay. Three sixteen. Yeah. I don't I don't get, you know, penetrated easily.
Unknown Speaker (19:23): It's not a lot.
Whitey (19:24): Emotionally. Emotionally. Physically, you do. Emotionally, you don't. Yes.

Unknown Speaker (19:29): right. You put a drink in front of me. I'm your boy.
Unknown Speaker (19:31): Yeah. But
Unknown Speaker (19:32): anyway You're penetrating. Yeah.
Will (19:33): That's right. Yeah. So but I did on my rewatch in the last couple of days by myself just watching it. Thought, oh, that was pretty special. That was a nice little moment.
Unknown Speaker (19:44): No. It's this it's a movie of moments. Yeah. Yep. Yeah.
Whitey (19:47): It's a movie of moments. It's incredible that a dyslexic rock can still make you feel something. Yeah. Right? So that's the beauty of this movie.
Unknown Speaker (19:58): It it is it is literally a rock.
Unknown Speaker (20:00): Yeah. Oh, no.
Unknown Speaker (20:00): He's got a heart. He's got a soul.
Unknown Speaker (20:02): We know that. It's it's
Unknown Speaker (20:03): it's the
Unknown Speaker (20:04): arc of mister Grace himself that Oh, yeah. That's gets me.
Whitey (20:09): So let I I did try to I did try to pin a question in question time, but I I it got a bit muddy muddy. Yeah. But let's just talk let's talk about a little bit about the arc here because my view is is that his arc has gone from like smartest man on the planet to complete coward. Yeah. And that's where he sits Yeah.
Whitey (20:33): For most of the movie because he doesn't realize why he's on the ship Yeah. Or or or the reasons behind it. But she says to him, you're the perfect candidate. You've got no family. You've got no pets.
Unknown Speaker (20:48): You don't even have a dog.
Unknown Speaker (20:49): You've got no one. Yes.
Unknown Speaker (20:50): That's right. That's what she said.
Whitey (20:51): Now the irony is that it takes him to have someone in Rocky. Yes. For him to be willing to make the sacrifice.
Will (20:59): Yeah.
Whitey (21:00): Right? To sacrifice his life to go after Rocky. Right? But he wouldn't do the same on for the millions and billions of people on earth
Unknown Speaker (21:09): Yeah.
Whitey (21:09): Because he didn't have that one person.
Unknown Speaker (21:11): Yep. That's what that's what the captain said to him when he said you've gotta just find someone to be brave for.
Unknown Speaker (21:17): And and that's the thing.
Unknown Speaker (21:18): Callback to it.
Whitey (21:18): And so it's it goes back to that. So I'm just like, it's that bit got me.
Unknown Speaker (21:23): Yeah.
Whitey (21:23): I was like, it took him to have that one person.
Will (21:25): He's a quitter. He's been a quitter up to that point. A very a very, very capable, intelligent human being. He wasn't even proven wrong per se with his thesis on do is water necessary for life on in other interstellar moments or planets and dimensions. Right?
Will (21:43): He just got challenged. He just got kicked back, and he retreated back to just being a teacher in primary school. Yep. And in the book, it it elaborates on the fact that he feels a connection and and and protection for the kids that he teaches.
Unknown Speaker (21:57): Okay. Right.
Unknown Speaker (21:58): They're the they're his like, that's where his focus is. Yeah. He doesn't have the capability to well, he hasn't I mean, as if a Ryan Gosling lookalike is going decades without finding insignificant other.
Unknown Speaker (22:10): Oh, for sure.
Will (22:11): Must have been batting him off left, right, and sending him be able get to where he was. But he he his attention was on the kids, and the whole time, he's thinking, no. That's where I that's where I'm best placed. But it was that arc of finding true courage in that, and there was that fork in the road moment where it was like, I've got enough astrophage. I've worked out the issue.
Unknown Speaker (22:36): Rocky's out there, he's about a million miles that way or I've got enough fuel to
Unknown Speaker (22:42): get home and I can save earth.
Unknown Speaker (22:43): Yeah. And that was his fork. Yeah. And he took it. He did.
Unknown Speaker (22:47): Went for it and it was, yeah, pretty brilliant.
Unknown Speaker (22:49): Made the right decision? Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (22:50): He did. Yeah. Did.

Unknown Speaker (23:21): Sophie, I must say, of famer.

Unknown Speaker (26:39): Okay. Don't
Unknown Speaker (26:40): drive a Subaru.
Whitey (26:41): I I don't. I don't. A good review, Brian Truitt from USA Today. Project Hail Mary is one of those old school popcorn movies with big ideas. The kind of film that Steven Spielberg and George Lucas would have made back in the day and kids of all ages would have obsessed over and bought the toys.
Whitey (27:02): Bang on.
Unknown Speaker (27:03): Mhmm. It's exactly what it is.
Unknown Speaker (27:04): Not a lot of toys, though.
Unknown Speaker (27:05): Yeah. There's only two toys.
Unknown Speaker (27:07): Couple couple of spaceships and
Unknown Speaker (27:09): a rock. Two toys.
Will (27:10): Yeah. I'd buy the stoic German doll.
Unknown Speaker (27:13): Sex doll? Is that a full sex doll?
Unknown Speaker (27:16): Why's that giving you the licensing?
Unknown Speaker (27:17): Blurder only. They only got one hole. It's the blurter. Fair enough. She's got pursed lips like this and a big blurter hole.
Unknown Speaker (27:28): Yeah. I like a disappointed woman, are they? Oh, dear. When you get you you get used to something early, don't
Unknown Speaker (27:36): you? That's right. You know? That's right. You're conditioned.
Whitey (27:38): This is it. It is conditioned. Ordinary people. Now we already mentioned officially released on the March 20 year, but earlier in some other places. But 681,400,000 Bloody hell.
Whitey (27:57): Office. Wow. Alright. $200,000,000 budget adjusted after some tax credits. 80,500,000 opening weekend.
Whitey (28:08): Wow. Opened on nearly 4,100 screens and the average drum was about eight weeks.
Unknown Speaker (28:15): That's pretty impressive.
Unknown Speaker (28:15): Still in the cinema in some places now.
Unknown Speaker (28:18): Yeah. You can still see it.
Whitey (28:19): Yeah. Now the let's talk Ryan Gosling. Yeah. We've spoken about him before because we did the nice guys. Yes.
Unknown Speaker (28:29): Which we loved. Yep. It's one of the great
Unknown Speaker (28:31): movies. Awesome.
Whitey (28:32): And he's one of the great characters. I think he is is he the greatest modern actor to take the piss out of himself? Is he the one that's not afraid to go against type? Because I would envisage he he became known as a dramatic actor. Obviously, the notebook and he's done half Nelson.
Whitey (28:58): He did all these things where he's it's it's it's dramatic. Yeah. And then he sort of found a couple comedy chops. But if you look at what he's done recently, like the fall guy, Barbie, even Blade Runner 49 twenty forty nine. The run he's on a Gray man.
Unknown Speaker (29:12): The gray man. I said
Unknown Speaker (29:13): fuck. I didn't mind that.
Unknown Speaker (29:14): It's not good, though. I didn't
Unknown Speaker (29:15): mind it.
Unknown Speaker (29:15): It's not great.
Unknown Speaker (29:16): That was the next Flips movie.
Unknown Speaker (29:17): Yeah. It was Netflix. Yeah. It was pretty good. But he's he's sort of done that, you know A fall guy.
Unknown Speaker (29:24): Fall Bobby. Dog shit,
Unknown Speaker (29:26): but Yeah. But but he's Ken
Unknown Speaker (29:28): he was apparently oh, look. And I didn't see Bobby, but everyone said Ken was the
Unknown Speaker (29:31): best part of
Whitey (29:31): that movie. But he in this movie, like, you would have does Slice Stallone and Arnie in their heyday
Unknown Speaker (29:40): They couldn't do it. Played his character. They couldn't do it. No. Not that they couldn't do it,
Unknown Speaker (29:44): but would they go tell
Unknown Speaker (29:45): you someone who couldn't do it, Steven Seagal. No. No.
Whitey (29:50): That that exactly right. They couldn't. Couldn't do it. But what I'm saying is is, like, if you if you go back, like, Patrick Swayze, all these guys that were sort of these big macho actors, they couldn't take the piss out
Unknown Speaker (30:03): of their own hyperliga.
Whitey (30:04): They couldn't take and so I I think the closest that Sliced Alone got was Tango and Cash.
Unknown Speaker (30:10): Yeah. Oh, when he yeah.
Whitey (30:11): But even that, he's the king shit cop.
Unknown Speaker (30:13): Yeah.
Whitey (30:14): Right? But he's just trying to be funny.
Damo (30:16): Yeah. This guy would normally be like your your Egon Spengler or your Dan Aykroyd
Unknown Speaker (30:21): Correct. Sort of science geek Correct.
Unknown Speaker (30:23): Person, and you got wine bloody gozzling
Unknown Speaker (30:26): you got gozzling wine.
Unknown Speaker (30:27): Is he doing a driver, like, ten years ago. Right. Cool as a cucumber.
Whitey (30:33): And that's it. So you got drive and you've got Blade Runner twenty forty nine. That's the that's the persona of gosling that he's this cold calculating suave. Yes. Like Just a real incredibly hot Just a waterfall.
Will (30:50): Absolutely. Monsoon following him everywhere, mate. Just Yeah.
Whitey (30:54): And then but then you you think about the character he played in the nice guys. Oh, just hilarious. He's just bumbling fool. Yeah. Right?
Unknown Speaker (31:01): Bumbling fool, but also kind of smart.
Unknown Speaker (31:03): Smart. And it's the same year. It's just like he like, he's Oh,
Damo (31:05): he there's a bit of slapstick in this, isn't he? He plays Right.
Whitey (31:08): Yeah. I don't think anyone at this point in Hollywood plays this kind of role better than Ryan Goslinger.
Damo (31:14): No way. No. I mean, his facial expressions.
Whitey (31:16): Mate, I've got a question, and I'm gonna ask it here. Is he the greatest double take actor when he looks away and then looks back?
Unknown Speaker (31:23): That's so funny. He is
Unknown Speaker (31:25): mate, because he did it in the nice guys about three times, and he does it in this movie a couple And he I think he's the best. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (31:30): He is.
Unknown Speaker (31:31): It's genuine surprise. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (31:33): He looks that he looks
Unknown Speaker (31:33): always because in the karaoke bit when old German She starts singing, he sort of looks up and he's like, shit. Yeah. Was the bit that I went, he's the world's greatest Double take. Double take actor. He's he's
Unknown Speaker (31:46): so good at it. Yeah. Ben and the nice guys, he was phenomenal.
Unknown Speaker (31:48): Phenomenal. Yeah. Phenomenal.
Damo (31:51): It's actually just just that motion is funny.
Unknown Speaker (31:55): Yeah. It's funny. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (31:56): Look look, Ben. Look. Yeah.
Whitey (31:57): It's a bit like him in the when he's in the stall. He kicks the door open. He's trying to, like, pull his pants up and drop the cigarette in the nice guy. Like, that's one of the best things You know?
Unknown Speaker (32:07): Look away. Look away. And he's like,
Unknown Speaker (32:10): he turned
Unknown Speaker (32:10): around. And
Unknown Speaker (32:11): he goes, the mirror's here.
Whitey (32:13): Yeah. Well So fucking funny. So fucking funny. He he and we've talked about this before, but he's probably the biggest he could be the biggest star. In everything now.
Unknown Speaker (32:25): He's in he's in everything.
Damo (32:26): He's kinda like the number he's he's younger than He's younger than
Unknown Speaker (32:30): he's younger than more. Brad Pitt. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (32:31): He's younger than Tom Cruise.
Unknown Speaker (32:33): I was just trying to rack my brains. Who similar age could could be a rival in any sort of those ways, but nowhere near is like that Chris Pratt age? Yeah. Like Chris Pratt? Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (32:44): Yeah. And as a as a guy that likes to take the piss out of himself as an actor through his roles, whatever he has.
Unknown Speaker (32:49): Would have been actually alright. Yeah. But he could
Will (32:51): do it. Doesn't have the chops in the movie repertoire previous Yes. To, like it's almost like because Gosling has done the roles he's done before now Mhmm. When he does these ones, you're like, how good's this guy?
Unknown Speaker (33:06): Yeah. You know
Unknown Speaker (33:07): what I mean? Like, he's
Whitey (33:08): He he is an he is a hard man to hate. Yes. I I I don't think you'd have to travel a long way for someone to go, I don't like him.
Damo (33:16): And you and you've seen his, like, in real life when he does the award show.
Unknown Speaker (33:22): Oh god.
Damo (33:22): When he when he hosted with Brad Pitt Yes. At the Oscars and he had the shits because he thought he was gonna be up there by himself. He's pissed off Brad Pitt was there. Yeah. The stuff with Russell Crowe was
Unknown Speaker (33:31): freaking hilarious. Amazing.
Unknown Speaker (33:32): Yeah. And this was just live, just chatting, and you go, this guy is genuinely
Unknown Speaker (33:36): You know what he is? You know what he is? He's the male Jennifer, what's her face from Hunger Games.
Unknown Speaker (33:43): That's Jennifer Lawrence. He's male.
Unknown Speaker (33:45): That's actually She's
Unknown Speaker (33:46): pretty funny too.
Unknown Speaker (33:47): She's great. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (33:47): She's the same thing.
Unknown Speaker (33:48): Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (33:49): She's fucking hot. Yeah. And great now. Yeah. And then when in public, we'll take the piss out of herself, get a drop of a hat Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (33:56): And then wins everyone over.
Whitey (33:58): Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. She's a darling.
Whitey (34:01): Yeah. Tripping up the stairs to win the Oscar owns it owns it doesn't give a shit
Unknown Speaker (34:05): yeah my god may
Whitey (34:08): have rooted Harvey Weinstein but you know you got to do owns it you to do what you got to do So yeah. So look, Gosling's a superstar. Yeah. But you mentioned her earlier, Sandra Hula. Hula.
Unknown Speaker (34:20): As Eva Strat, who's the mission specialist boss. The boss. The boss. She's the boss.
Damo (34:27): A very good boss. I think that's what you want a boss. She doesn't wanna have any sort of emotional relationship with the people working for her.
Unknown Speaker (34:36): Yes. Yeah. But
Unknown Speaker (34:37): She's But she
Unknown Speaker (34:38): can't help it. Don't you reckon that they
Unknown Speaker (34:41): A little bit. That's what she's saying.
Unknown Speaker (34:42): They created a little bit of tension between the two
Unknown Speaker (34:45): of them. Well, I
Unknown Speaker (34:45): think They never delivered on them. None of But I
Whitey (34:47): think the thing is is it again, it comes back to that this guy is just too lovable. Yeah. So, like, even the ice even the unpenetrable ice heart that is the German Yeah. She can still she's still a bit sweet on him.
Unknown Speaker (35:03): Yeah. She is. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (35:04): So you can
Unknown Speaker (35:04): tell she she's
Whitey (35:05): still sweet on him. Even though and she's actually genuinely, like, half
Unknown Speaker (35:09): broken. Yeah.
Whitey (35:10): When she goes It's because I believe this now. You know, that whole bit when he then has to get needled and and put in the coma.
Unknown Speaker (35:19): Not because I I'm betray I don't I'm not betraying you. It's because I believe
Unknown Speaker (35:21): in And it's a bit of both.
Unknown Speaker (35:23): Yeah. But it also plays into the fact that he's a bit of a he's a bit of a bitch, a bit of a coward. Yeah. Because she's German, she's always up for it. Yes.
Unknown Speaker (35:31): And she would have been that cold that she would have just gone and banged her and got on with it for the next day and would have been fine.
Unknown Speaker (35:36): Right? Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (35:36): But, yeah, he wasn't able to kind of take that that leap. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (35:42): He needed to be pushed.
Unknown Speaker (35:43): Yeah. He needed to push. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (35:45): And the funny thing is once he's on board
Unknown Speaker (35:47): Great.
Whitey (35:48): Then it's business that's I've got a couple questions about that too, but it's sort of just, okay. I'm here. Yep. I'm in my
Unknown Speaker (35:54): And I must
Unknown Speaker (35:54): have chosen to be here. So Yeah. Because I can't really remember.
Unknown Speaker (35:57): He couldn't even remember his own name.
Unknown Speaker (35:58): No. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (35:59): No. They they really did a good job at him.
Whitey (36:01): They did. They whatever they drugged him with, like, they they were, like, creeps and pedophiles around the world going, I wonder what they drugged him with.
Unknown Speaker (36:11): Some neuro hypnosis. Day. Right?

Unknown Speaker (39:12): did a
Unknown Speaker (39:12): lot of kids stuff.
Whitey (39:13): Yeah. So then in 2017, they were hired to direct solo a star wars story. Oh. Halfway through production, Lucasfilm fired them. The official line is creative differences.
Unknown Speaker (39:27): Oh, yeah. Right.
Whitey (39:28): What's coming out since paints a clearer picture. Their instincts were looser, more improvisational, more comedic, and the studio wanted something safer. So Ron Howard came in and finished it. And stuffed it. I didn't like it.
Whitey (39:45): Would have been an issue to see seeing this and seeing what is and you know what? This is this is Disney's issue with Star Wars. They need to they need to sort of cut the strings a bit and get a bit crazy with it.
Unknown Speaker (39:58): Oh, yeah. Well, just do something good with it.
Unknown Speaker (40:00): Yeah. Okay.
Unknown Speaker (40:02): Yep. Now

Whitey (40:06): They had not done anything since 2017 until this. Serious?
Unknown Speaker (40:12): Yeah. That's a big old.
Unknown Speaker (40:13): That's a big gap.

Unknown Speaker (42:28): Jeez Louise.
Whitey (42:29): I'm start with you Wilbur. Yeah. Because you said you've seen a movie in
Unknown Speaker (42:32): 2020 the movies earlier with the with the with the friends and the this was the wives pick, but they wanted to see the bride. The Frank That's
Unknown Speaker (42:41): whole movie.
Whitey (42:41): Right. Jacob Belotti? Yeah. Is it Jacob or no? He's Frankenstein.
Will (42:45): He's Frankenstein. It's buddy, not Daniel Day Lewis, the other one, the other great actor from Psycho. American Psycho. What's his name? Christian Bale.
Will (42:55): Bale. He plays Frankenstein and then the
Whitey (42:58): It was directed by old saggy boobs Jilenhal.
Will (43:01): Yes. That's right. Yeah. Maggie Jilenhal. Yep.
Unknown Speaker (43:04): Yep. Did I like it?
Unknown Speaker (43:07): Got bad reviews.
Unknown Speaker (43:08): Yeah. At the time at the time, was entertaining. I'll tell you what, there was a monologue at the start by Jesse Buckley. Pretty bad guy. She's a very good actor.
Unknown Speaker (43:19): And it it was it was good. It was good. But
Unknown Speaker (43:23): As the bride?
Unknown Speaker (43:24): As as the bride, she was fantastic.
Unknown Speaker (43:26): She could talk. She yeah. Okay.
Will (43:28): But it was a bit much. I just felt like it was a little bit. It was
Unknown Speaker (43:34): Style over
Unknown Speaker (43:35): substance. So
Unknown Speaker (43:35): is this
Unknown Speaker (43:36): is this a dud? Is it What would you call it?
Will (43:40): Where does it fit? Middling. Middling. Okay. Yeah.
Will (43:45): Middling. Yeah. Not quite scratched, but a middling runner these days. Yeah. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (43:49): I like it.
Will (43:50): Yep. I yeah. Christian Bale was alright, but, again, he didn't have a whole lot of, like he was playing Frankenstein, but he wasn't able to flex out all of his skills. He was sort of staying down the thing. But to tell you what, it was it was a lot of style involved.
Unknown Speaker (44:02): It was a lot of style. It was a lot of
Whitey (44:03): It gave me Nosferatu vibes, way it looked and the way
Unknown Speaker (44:06): it was shot. It got
Will (44:07): it got weed in the section when they're in the ballroom, and it was almost like they were doing the monster mash there, and it got a little bit theatric.
Unknown Speaker (44:14): A lot of great
Unknown Speaker (44:14): stuff.
Unknown Speaker (44:14): Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (44:16): So it got it kinda got a little confused there for a second. Okay. Yeah. But you know what? If you're bored, go and watch the bride.
Will (44:22): The the monologue at the start, Jesse Buckley at the start of the movie was pretty powerful. Like, where she was being possessed by the author of the Frankenstein story, basically. I forget her name now.
Unknown Speaker (44:36): John Frankenstein.
Will (44:37): Yeah. No. There was a lady involved in anyway, it was like it it was I don't know how to word it out properly, but it was basically like Frankenstein was good, but this is better. Right. But it was the movie saying that this is the this is the the real story of Frankenstein.
Unknown Speaker (44:56): Oh, okay. It was like A bit meta.
Unknown Speaker (44:58): Yeah. It was a bit like Right. Yeah. That was good. That the the guys are good, but the The
Unknown Speaker (45:03): chicks are better.
Unknown Speaker (45:03): The chicks are better. Yeah.
Whitey (45:04): It's Frankenstein with snorbs. Yeah. It is. Yeah. Storbenstein.
Unknown Speaker (45:08): But, yeah, Jesse Buckley's pretty kicker in it. Yeah. She's good.
Unknown Speaker (45:11): She won the Academy Award
Unknown Speaker (45:12): Yeah. This year. In the start.
Unknown Speaker (45:13): So, anyway, that's my Not for the
Unknown Speaker (45:14): very confusing take Okay. On the bride. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (45:17): Okay. Great. I don't know what I'm gonna say about that movie at
Unknown Speaker (45:20): the end.
Unknown Speaker (45:20): But yeah.
Unknown Speaker (45:20): Daymo, what do
Damo (45:21): you got? I'm gonna say and I I I don't know if this was 2025, but I definitely watched it this year. If I said to you, Nigel Tufnel, Derek Small
Unknown Speaker (45:32): Oh, Spinal Tap two.
Unknown Speaker (45:33): Spinal Tap two. Yeah. And
Unknown Speaker (45:35): we'll take that as of this year.
Damo (45:36): I had probably 10 laugh out loud moments.
Unknown Speaker (45:39): I haven't watched it by myself. I haven't watched it
Unknown Speaker (45:40): yet.
Damo (45:41): And I was kacking. I just was literally just their conversations, how ridiculous they are. Just even Derek Small's, you know, he's he's he runs a what's he he's got a shop
Unknown Speaker (45:54): Cucumber Farm?
Damo (45:54): No. It's like a it's a it's it's it's a wax store, the history of wax or something. It's just so stupid, but it's it's really funny. Yep. Definitely go and check out spinal tap too.
Unknown Speaker (46:06): Okay. I like it. Yep. Alright. I've got I don't I'm not sure where I'm gonna put this as a surprise.
Whitey (46:12): And that's Mandalorian and Grogu, which I saw a few weeks ago. Look. It's getting some bad raps. It's done terribly at the box office. I think it's somewhat 300,000,000, which for the movie is terrible.
Whitey (46:24): And yes, I think with Damon and I spoke about it, that it definitely could have been it definitely could have been four episodes of the TV series. Right? Which is half a season. Yep. Alright?
Whitey (46:40): Four half hour or forty minute freaking episodes, but I enjoyed it.
Damo (46:45): That's why I have watched a few reviews on it because I I love Star Wars so I was interested in it. Yep. And I would normally go and see everything Star Wars at the movies.
Unknown Speaker (46:54): Yes. Just
Damo (46:57): couldn't bring myself to go and see.
Whitey (46:59): The start and the end set pieces are excellent. Really good. It just gets waffly in the middle. It gets waffly in the middle, and there was a little bit too much over CGI because it revolves around the huts. Yeah.
Whitey (47:15): So you're trying to find Jabba the Hutt's One
Unknown Speaker (47:17): of them is a Jack Hutt now, and he's
Whitey (47:19): doing Yeah. And that that guy I can't even remember what his name is, but he's he's Jabba the Hutt's son. So he's heir to the the Hutt throne. And the and Jabba the Hutt's twin brother and sister are trying to off the sun so that they can be the the the king and the queen of the huts. God.
Unknown Speaker (47:40): And I but it sounds like who who cares about this story?
Whitey (47:44): No. But and this is what I thought was a little bit disappointing is that stick with the threat of the show. Yeah. Right? Just give us a movie that It's a side quest.
Whitey (47:54): Yeah. And and that's exactly what it is. It's a side mission on a role playing game. Yeah. And although I didn't mind it, I enjoyed it.
Unknown Speaker (48:03): It was better than what I thought it was gonna be. Yep. It still wasn't as good as what it could have been. Yep. Anyway, that's it.
Unknown Speaker (48:10): Now, Damo, do you have a Snorl's report special this year?
Unknown Speaker (48:14): I do
Damo (48:14): actually, and I had to I had to look it up, but now this is technically a 2025, but it was started streaming in 2026. And we've got our favorite from nowadays, Sydney Sweeney. Oh. The housemate.
Unknown Speaker (48:27): Yes. Have you seen
Damo (48:28): it? Yeah. Yeah. She's yep. There's a once again, there's some arms and limbs that's kind of block a few things, but you get to see full snorb.
Damo (48:37): She and man, oh, man. It's certainly worth having all
Unknown Speaker (48:40): She is gonna go down as one of the great snob actresses in the She
Unknown Speaker (48:46): could be a hall of famer.
Unknown Speaker (48:47): She's a specimen.
Whitey (48:48): She doesn't do anything without her snobs out.
Unknown Speaker (48:52): Yeah. She encourages it.
Unknown Speaker (48:54): Well, you know, in that movie with what's he what's the guy hangman from Top Gun? Powell?
Unknown Speaker (48:59): Yeah. Glenn Powell.
Unknown Speaker (49:00): Glenn Powell? Yep. She doesn't get him out of that. You would think that that was just a lay down was there. You're gonna put Imagine how much
Whitey (49:08): It actually was quite well received, that movie. As as good as you get or something
Unknown Speaker (49:12): like that. Yeah. It was kind of it was fun kind of seeing being in Australia there. Imagine if you
Whitey (49:16): got storms out, how much better it would have been received.
Damo (49:18): Oh, yeah. The other girl got the got them out, the Aussie chick. Yeah. But I don't wanna see them. No.
Unknown Speaker (49:23): I know. Well,
Unknown Speaker (49:24): I Well, I do. I do. I do. But I I wanna see Sydney's. Yeah.
Whitey (49:27): Anyway, what do do? Well, there we go. Gents, we've got I don't even know. One movie to maybe see.
Unknown Speaker (49:36): Oh, yeah.
Whitey (49:37): One that was surprising. Yeah. One with some snobs. No. And spinal tap.
Unknown Speaker (49:41): And spinal tap. Yeah. So there you go. It was hard to do.
Unknown Speaker (49:44): It's twenty twenty six. It's bloody epic. Guys, it's June. There's some good movies.
Whitey (49:48): There's some good movies coming. We're looking forward to them. Question time. Would the smartest scientist on the planet really be a school teacher regardless of his
Damo (50:06): He was a nuclear physicist, wasn't he?
Unknown Speaker (50:08): Mate, he's the smartest man on
Damo (50:09): the planet. But he that that how many other they had about a thousand scientists working on it?
Unknown Speaker (50:14): Did you say? Heaps. Heaps. Yeah.
Damo (50:16): He just happened to be the one Discovered.
Unknown Speaker (50:18): He discovered it.
Unknown Speaker (50:19): He wasn't as the smartest until he was the one that worked out how to breed astrocytes.
Unknown Speaker (50:23): Smartest man on the planet. Yeah. Yeah.
Damo (50:25): And that's when he then became oh, hang on.
Will (50:27): You're pretty good. Ironically, it was his wild thesis that foreign alien life forms don't require water to survive. The proof
Unknown Speaker (50:36): is what put
Unknown Speaker (50:37): him in the
Damo (50:37): hot mess size. Yeah. That's right. Because they don't want some agreer person. They want someone to actually look at things
Unknown Speaker (50:42): Yeah.
Damo (50:43): Objectively and go against sort of the grain. And as it turned out, when they discovered it, it was basically all water. Astrophage. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (50:53): He canceled it at his whole thesis.
Unknown Speaker (50:55): Yeah. Like, oh, right. Okay.
Whitey (50:56): He's like, okay. Well, I was wrong. Yeah. Okay. Now, well, this is probably one directed at you, but why are beanies a fashion choice?
Unknown Speaker (51:04): Why are beanies a fashion Yeah.
Whitey (51:06): Look. I get it if you're down the snow. Yeah. I get it if it's eight degrees. That's a beanie, but just wearing a beanie for the sake of wearing a beanie.
Unknown Speaker (51:14): Fill me in. Oh I
Unknown Speaker (51:15): mean it gets cold in other places, you don't need to be in the Australian Alps to to want to wear one.
Whitey (51:21): You wore one the other day it was 28 yeah. Yeah. What is that? What's the choice there?
Unknown Speaker (51:25): Does it look good?
Unknown Speaker (51:27): Does it too
Unknown Speaker (51:28): This is what I'm getting at and this is why I think there's an affinity between the Wurkey and Malt. I think it's beanie related.
Unknown Speaker (51:34): Some people are gonna look that they were you know, Rusty Riches on I don't know if you've seen it on Netflix, but the guy who's the main guy, he wears a beanie. A beanie all the time in talk I'm talking summer in California. Silly. He that's his look.
Unknown Speaker (51:47): Silly. Yeah. No. No. No.
Unknown Speaker (51:48): You can't. No. No. No. I'm
Unknown Speaker (51:50): just thinking the sweat under that
Unknown Speaker (51:51): hair stink. Of course. Yeah. Exactly. The dandruff.
Unknown Speaker (51:54): Yeah. Yeah. You know, just the there's too much going on. Yeah. You can't be stuck to a beanie.
Unknown Speaker (51:59): But you've gotta be
Unknown Speaker (52:00): gotta be an option.
Unknown Speaker (52:01): All of your fashion choices. Listen. Why did I I know what you're asked. Why did I wear a beanie on the pug? That's what you wanna know.
Unknown Speaker (52:08): Oh. Right? Because I hadn't worn a beanie up to that point.
Unknown Speaker (52:11): Alright. Was
Unknown Speaker (52:12): this the other week
Unknown Speaker (52:13): when Walks did his new laugh?
Unknown Speaker (52:14): No. No. What was this this is, like, a couple months ago, Morabini. Just out of the blue. Can we have a Rocks week.
Unknown Speaker (52:19): How feel that you've got a special laugh dedicated to you?
Unknown Speaker (52:22): Yeah. I actually can. Quite entertaining. You like that?
Unknown Speaker (52:25): Yeah. I did. I found it funny.
Unknown Speaker (52:27): I haven't gone back and actually had a list of myself.
Unknown Speaker (52:29): Have a listen to it.
Unknown Speaker (52:30): But I believe it.
Unknown Speaker (52:32): It's confirmed.
Unknown Speaker (52:32): I believe it.
Unknown Speaker (52:33): Because because Morgz's wife actually picked up on it.
Unknown Speaker (52:35): She picked up on
Unknown Speaker (52:36): the new life. Separately. Here you go.
Unknown Speaker (52:39): You know,
Unknown Speaker (52:39): he could do worse.
Whitey (52:41): We've already answered this one. Is there an actor more comfortable in taking the piss out of himself? No. And is there a better double taker? No.
Whitey (52:49): Now Grace was not trained for the mission. No. Grace was effectively assaulted and needled and put into a coma.
Unknown Speaker (53:04): Yeah.
Whitey (53:05): Grace then wakes up on the spaceship. How the fuck does he know how to spacewalk? And how the fuck does he know how to control the ship? And how the fuck does he know when to think about it?
Unknown Speaker (53:15): But did you see him, like, when he was putting on the the he was he was reading the instructions. He's reading manuals. Yeah. How to do it? He's looking at all the manuals.
Damo (53:24): Like, seriously.
Will (53:25): He jumps out of the seat I'm gonna be the guy that's read the book. Alright? Yep. It does it basically attacks that point there, like, going him questioning, how come I don't know my name? How come how come when I have a question, I can work out the particle or, like, the the physics and the mass and and the projection mass to be able to work out exactly where I'm traveling, where I am in the solar system, and how far I've been from Earth by by instinct, and he's like, I must be,
Unknown Speaker (54:09): like He he said he said, so I'm smart.
Unknown Speaker (54:12): Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know. So I must be smart.
Will (54:15): What they've gone from the book and distilled in the exposition in the movie is, like, taken, like A whole heap and like, one little moment, you know. See what they're trying to do there.
Whitey (54:25): So what they're saying is that because he's smart Yeah. He can figure this
Will (54:28): shit out. But the thing was in yeah. What they were saying is you've been in this mission from the day dot, and you've been exposed to every one of the astronauts you've been involved in, all of their training, all of the like, he's he is too IC to the German chick Yeah. From the start. So essentially, the second most powerful position in this entire mission, and then they're going, you're the guy.
Will (54:51): And it that what they don't really broach in the movie, but they do in the book is that when you go into a coma, there's only a small percentage of people in the population of the world that have a gene setup that enables them to come out of it well without having any lasting effects. He's a gene holder of that
Unknown Speaker (55:11): Oh. Right.
Unknown Speaker (55:12): Of that of that gene. And the other two in the in the mission also were, but something went wrong. We don't
Unknown Speaker (55:17): really Yeah. I mean, no. They never explained what happened to them.
Unknown Speaker (55:20): Bring that up too later. But but, yeah, there was gonna be a pilot and an engineer there Yes. To actually they'll tell him how to space work. They'll tell him how to do this.
Unknown Speaker (55:28): Yeah. They'll tell him how
Unknown Speaker (55:29): to do that.
Will (55:29): Yeah. He was just going to fill the The
Unknown Speaker (55:32): science the science side
Unknown Speaker (55:33): of it. Just do some calcs and blah blah blah. And also a lot of the astrophagy stuff. Yes. Like, he's just that's his wheelhouse.
Unknown Speaker (55:40): And work out of course. Work out how to kill it.
Unknown Speaker (55:42): Yeah. Yeah.
Whitey (55:43): Yeah. Okay. Would what happened to Grace be considered a crime?
Damo (55:49): No. No way. The stakes were just ridiculous. There's no stakes for
Unknown Speaker (55:53): Fate of the earth? Yeah. Okay.
Unknown Speaker (55:54): Like, you go or we die.
Whitey (55:56): Just wondering where the law and order ceases.
Unknown Speaker (55:58): Well, said half the planet would die.
Unknown Speaker (56:00): I reckon he's got a pretty good case when he comes back
Unknown Speaker (56:02): to earth. Yeah. Think he's hiring a he's definitely Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (56:06): He's hiring a couple of lawyers, and I think he's got a struggle.
Unknown Speaker (56:08): Ago, mate, but you came back alive and you saved us all.
Unknown Speaker (56:11): And you got a new mate. He's a rock. He's got the keys in the console.
Unknown Speaker (56:13): He's got
Unknown Speaker (56:13): the keys in Washington. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (56:14): Yeah. No. Does. In
Unknown Speaker (56:16): that mission.
Whitey (56:16): Yep. It's like in Armageddon. I just don't wanna pay taxes forever. Yeah. Now is there enough gravity effect outside the ship when he's outside the ship?
Whitey (56:28): Because he just seems to be able to just cruise along a bit, clip on here. Brush over, wasn't there? It just seems everything seems to be a bit easy Yeah. For him. Like, unclip, flip, clip.
Damo (56:40): Even things sort of fell down
Unknown Speaker (56:42): Yeah.
Damo (56:43): And not Like, what how does
Whitey (56:45): the how does the thing how does the thing that's hanging fall and go down? Doesn't wouldn't it just be sitting there? In gravity. Yeah. Just like on the chain up there.
Whitey (56:54): I can fall I just thought or does this whole ship have its own gravity, which I don't think so.
Unknown Speaker (56:59): Well, I've only
Unknown Speaker (57:00): I've seen when it was spinning,
Unknown Speaker (57:01): but when it was going straight Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (57:02): Yeah. It was
Unknown Speaker (57:03): That's right.
Unknown Speaker (57:03): You were you were
Unknown Speaker (57:04): Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (57:05): You were floating? Yeah. Yeah. Everything was floating. Yeah.
Damo (57:09): Look. There was some there was a couple of little flaws there.
Unknown Speaker (57:10): And I've got no dramas with them. I'm just picking shit apart. I mean You're gonna mention the book again?
Unknown Speaker (57:15): No. Okay. Great.
Unknown Speaker (57:16): I'm just then?
Will (57:17): I'm just gonna present, like okay. So they're hovering over the planet Adrian. He's picking up the Taumebia. That's
Unknown Speaker (57:23): the Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (57:24): Taumebia. That's Taumebia. The
Will (57:25): Yeah. The stuff. They are under constant, as in, like, propulsion at that point. Yes. So when the the effects of gravity might be there because they're, like, trying to power out of atmosphere.
Unknown Speaker (57:37): You know? So yeah. I'm just a little cavey.
Unknown Speaker (57:39): Yeah. Okay. I'm just gonna put it in here.
Unknown Speaker (57:41): No worries, Rollins. Thank you. Certainly. No prob. On a scale of one to 10 with one being none It's the the world's ending.
Whitey (58:07): 9.9999. I agree. I think there's it's a hard 10.
Unknown Speaker (58:11): I think there's so Ryland and the German are the only ones not, and Yeah. Everybody else. Even then, I'm not convinced the German wasn't.
Unknown Speaker (58:17): Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Whitey (58:18): She would have had some, like, Carl. She would have no. No. No. No.
Whitey (58:22): No. She wouldn't have had Carl. She would have had some mechanic. Yeah. Low Like Some low And just saying
Unknown Speaker (58:30): shoveler down in the engine room. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (58:32): Yeah. Just giving her the car going, be in my room at 11PM.
Unknown Speaker (58:35): Yeah. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (58:36): Hey. Fuck your brains out.
Unknown Speaker (58:37): That's an order.
Unknown Speaker (58:39): Yes. That's an order. Yeah. Otherwise, you are you're the fucking ocean. Yeah.
Will (58:43): Yeah. Yeah. Ryland Grace is the only one not getting any Yeah. On the ship.
Whitey (58:47): Yeah. Definitely. I don't even think Ryland Grace masturbates.
Unknown Speaker (58:50): Oh, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (58:51): Yeah. I don't think he does. I just think he's that pathetic.
Unknown Speaker (58:56): That's an interesting take. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right.
Whitey (59:00): That, like, down on the dumps about himself. Okay.
Unknown Speaker (59:02): On Earth? Maybe. Can't
Unknown Speaker (59:04): get himself up.
Will (59:05): Yeah. Maybe so. On the ship, better things he'd be doing.
Unknown Speaker (59:08): Too focused. Oh, he's busy.
Unknown Speaker (59:10): And and also Rocky season here
Unknown Speaker (59:12): is Everything. Everything. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (59:14): Any season three d. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (59:15): That'd be awkward. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (59:16): Yeah. That would be awkward. What are you doing? Grace. Grace.
Unknown Speaker (59:18): Grace. Grace. Question.
Unknown Speaker (59:19): Grace. Grace. What? What?
Whitey (59:24): Born to watch only fans, and we have got a cracking segment here. But first people, if you're enjoying our review of project hail Mary, share this to a friend, share it to someone, put it on your Facebook, put it on your Instagram. Just get it out there. Let's let's grow this thing. And we've got quite a few voicemails, so we'll get started on that.
Unknown Speaker (59:50): A few retorts from a couple people. Couple of rebuttals. So we're gonna start with this one first.
Speaker 4 (59:57): Hi there. Strangles here. Cockburn did mention a a Spadger alert in the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood episode. I just wanted to qualify this for everyone out there. It was Margaret Qualley in the 2018 movie Donnybrook.
Speaker 4 (1:00:18): Look. It was a full mood, but but a really distant Spadger because she's getting out of a fast flowing river and it's from the bank of the river. So really distant Spadger, I'd call that. There was a real opportunity here for the director to get a close-up of the spadge, but unfortunately cut just above above the spadge or at the waist as she was handed the the the blanket in that scene. So look, I think from my perspective, a terribly bad missed opportunity from the director of Donnybrook.
Unknown Speaker (1:00:53): And yeah. So, like I say, enjoy this badge. Thanks.
Unknown Speaker (1:00:58): That his technical detail is is getting pretty bloody good.
Unknown Speaker (1:01:02): He is really showing us how it's Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:01:06): Yeah. You're praying for a better aspect ratio on the camera, aren't you, to sort of widen out the shot? Yeah. If you can hack the system a little.
Unknown Speaker (1:01:14): The old pan and scan. Yeah. That's what you want.
Unknown Speaker (1:01:16): No. Well done. But well done on that, yeah. Look. I asked I needed some help there.
Unknown Speaker (1:01:20): And this is what he's for. And came. And you know what? He did. Big time.
Unknown Speaker (1:01:25): Big time.
Unknown Speaker (1:01:26): And let's see whether he'll lovely. Let's just see whether he'll come again.
Unknown Speaker (1:01:30): Hi. It's Strangles again. Just listening to the Sixth Sense episode, and Demi Cockburn's on fire. Obviously, with his own snobs reporting, but also the Spadges sort of stuff. He's really stepping up.
Unknown Speaker (1:01:43): I love his work. Just went back and had a look at Tony Collett in eight and a half what's it called? Eight and a half women? Something like that. Weird show.
Unknown Speaker (1:01:54): So, basically, yeah, Tony Collette is dressed as kinda like a nun in some sort of hessian bag with a nun's habit on her head. And she she's moving backwards and rips it off and shows a shaves Spadger. Great work, Dimi. It it if you look carefully at the Spadger itself, it actually leans to the right, which I found quite interesting on the rewatch in that eight and a half women. But, yeah, check it out, guys.
Unknown Speaker (1:02:23): And as I say, gotta love
Unknown Speaker (1:02:25): the Spadger. Enjoy it. Oh,
Unknown Speaker (1:02:28): it's got a bias. It's probably
Damo (1:02:30): I would need a protractor.
Unknown Speaker (1:02:33): We wanna know angles. Yeah.
Whitey (1:02:36): Don't don't give him a project. He'll be all over that.
Unknown Speaker (1:02:39): I think he'd have a protractor at home, and he could he could work out the angles.
Unknown Speaker (1:02:43): Mate, now
Unknown Speaker (1:02:43): There's nothing wrong with a bit of camber.
Unknown Speaker (1:02:45): No. No. There's not. There's not. Because Obviously she obviously sort of lies on the left a bit more.
Unknown Speaker (1:02:50): Possibly. She she Possibly. Yeah. Bit like more. Corgs leans to the left.
Whitey (1:02:54): What a pickup. Yeah. What a pickup. That's why he's the manager reporter. Now I need to go back to your snorze report in the sixth sense, and I still laughing to this day about the East West snorbs.
Whitey (1:03:05): Yeah. And when I mentioned it to Morgz, Morgz goes, I know exactly what he's talking about. Right? And then about the grabs ahold of the west facing snob, I've laughed about that still. It's one of some of your best work.
Unknown Speaker (1:03:18): Yeah. Is. It is some of your best work.
Unknown Speaker (1:03:20): Just that's part of the job, mate.
Will (1:03:21): Yeah. It's when you do the extra work, Damon. It's when you dig deeper into the into the details that you really uncover some things.
Unknown Speaker (1:03:27): Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:03:28): You know? Yep.
Unknown Speaker (1:03:28): That's what you do. Okay. We're we're up again. It's an old mate.
Unknown Speaker (1:03:38): Good day, fellas. Chubbers. Once again, confused of having my feelings hurt, going quiet, being offended. I'm I'm from an era. I'm I'm like bloody Demo.
Speaker 5 (1:03:52): Does Demo have feelings? I don't have any fucking feelings, so Jesus. And I now I now hear myself and think I'm offended. My feelings are they're not. I'm trying to explain the fact that I come at me.
Unknown Speaker (1:04:07): Try it. Do your hardest. I've got an ex wife for Christ's sake. You think you can hurt my feelings? Well, anyhoo, the fuck am I here for?
Speaker 5 (1:04:19): Oh, yeah. May. In May, I think I was here more than Gow and Domo. They seem to have been a little bit lost in a wilderness themselves. And Morg's Morg shows up when Will's there.
Speaker 5 (1:04:34): I don't think you should waste Will this week. You might need him to attract Dan in a fortnight's time when Gow and Dame might go on walkabout again. I'll be here. I am now going to send you so many fucking voice messages that you're gonna say, I wish this prick could fuck off. And I don't care what the content will be.
Speaker 5 (1:04:55): It'll just be shit. It might not even be pod related. It'll just be my voice for you to stop me saying, oh, wait. Did we hurt his feelings? Hey.
Speaker 5 (1:05:07): Hey. Hey. I heard perps. Two messages. I couldn't help but wonder if she recorded one, sent it, didn't realize she sent it, so she sent another one.
Speaker 5 (1:05:19): Is she not the perfect correspondent for side dick? You guys announced the movie you're gonna review. Could she not spend the next few days doing some research and then phone it through? Consider that. See you, fellas.
Unknown Speaker (1:05:38): Hi. I I mean, the couple I didn't see coming was Choppers and
Unknown Speaker (1:05:44): Perps. Oh. We are foreign correspondents.
Unknown Speaker (1:05:47): Perfect. Got a
Unknown Speaker (1:05:48): perfect match. The compatibility of 68.2. 69%.
Unknown Speaker (1:05:55): Thanks, Dexter.
Whitey (1:05:57): Look, Choppers, we love hearing your voice. And
Unknown Speaker (1:06:01): Didn't he quit voicemail?
Unknown Speaker (1:06:03): He was gonna quit. He was gonna quit because he thought that he was spending too much time with us. Yeah. And and he's he's taken apparently again. I think he's taken some offense Yeah.
Whitey (1:06:14): To us having to rip it in.
Unknown Speaker (1:06:15): But we love
Unknown Speaker (1:06:15): I know he's saying that he's feeling hurt.
Unknown Speaker (1:06:17): That I've taken up
Unknown Speaker (1:06:19): They might be. Well, you
Damo (1:06:20): you understood what that girl in the bad review, how her life stories.
Unknown Speaker (1:06:26): What did you pick up from Choppers? There, Wilbur?
Will (1:06:28): Yeah. I'll I'll tell you what I picked up from Choppers. He's a he's a simple man from a complicated land, and he's just trying his best. Alright? Yep.
Unknown Speaker (1:06:37): Now he's been jilted once before. He's got a harder stone. But I'll tell you who cuts through that stone, Purps.
Unknown Speaker (1:06:44): Yeah. You know
Unknown Speaker (1:06:45): what I mean? That's and it's that that that beautiful tone in in Purps'
Unknown Speaker (1:06:49): voice when she Only fans in.
Unknown Speaker (1:06:51): Yeah. Didn't hear any birds in the background that time because
Unknown Speaker (1:06:54): Oh, they'll be no. They'll be I'm sure they'll be There might be some birds.
Unknown Speaker (1:06:57): There might be some birds. There's only one bird for for Choppers' heart at the moment. Oh, right.
Whitey (1:07:03): Boom. Well, also, he's he's very, very, very succinct in seeing the bromance developing between you and Dan.
Unknown Speaker (1:07:14): Yeah. Look. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:07:15): And and Yeah. We go any further before we any further Say what I Before we go any further
Unknown Speaker (1:07:20): Well, I had my suspicions. I might have been just a piece of ass getting dangled in front of one of the lads who keep me interested. Before
Unknown Speaker (1:07:26): we go any further.
Unknown Speaker (1:07:31): Good day, fellas, choppers. Now that you've told us what we're gonna be listening to until August this year, projectile, Mary, any given Sunday, at least Leather Weapon two is in there. And gals wanted to do Big Wednesday for about five years, so I'll give that a shot. I've never seen it. But it made me think when I was listening to Alien again the other day for about the fiftieth or sixtieth time, your podcast, Amalien, in there it said, We've talked about the warriors for about 70 pods.
Speaker 5 (1:08:07): We'll do that in the new year. That new year would have been 2,024. The next new year is gonna be 2027. That's four new years, but we're getting project hail Mary on any given Sunday. Just thought I'd drop that out there.
Unknown Speaker (1:08:28): Fellas, come on, don't use this week. You've got to utilize will, not waste him. He's the only thing that pulls Dan back into the pods. We need Dan. We need the humor.
Unknown Speaker (1:08:38): We need the laughs. We need the man on the land.
Unknown Speaker (1:08:43): Anyway.
Unknown Speaker (1:08:44): Alright. See you, fellas.
Unknown Speaker (1:08:48): I'm just a rotting piece to piece of flesh,
Unknown Speaker (1:08:51): aren't I?
Unknown Speaker (1:08:51): Well Like a ball. Just in a cage.
Whitey (1:08:53): The the question's gonna have to be asked, Wilbur, is that, you know, will you be back for any given Sunday with Dan?
Unknown Speaker (1:09:00): I mean, if you'll have me.
Unknown Speaker (1:09:01): Chuff Chuff is his ass.
Unknown Speaker (1:09:03): Yeah. But he but, you know, he's got a good point about over promising and under delivering Yes. The warriors. Well, warriors need to come out
Whitey (1:09:11): to play. I will tell you what we will do. It's going to be the next movie we do when the four of us are on. Yeah. That'll be the next one we do after this run of movies, Choppers.

Whitey (1:10:35): We don't hear enough of the kids on the show.
Unknown Speaker (1:10:37): No. We don't. I didn't think this I thought this was at least an MA 15 plus five.
Unknown Speaker (1:10:41): Yeah. But, you know, that could be I think Johnny's a lippable like I am with my kids.
Unknown Speaker (1:10:44): She she can watch the movie, but not listen to this crap.

Unknown Speaker (1:10:59): It's a record. Easily. It's a it's a 100% a record. I'm loving the momentum. We're gaining some momentum.
Whitey (1:11:03): Let's see if we can double it next week, and we'll just have so although show. We'll just have an OnlyFans show. Yeah. Imagine that going down on YouTube. Born to watch OnlyFans.
Unknown Speaker (1:11:12): Yeah. Just an episode.
Unknown Speaker (1:11:13): That was a great question. Clickbait. Write in the comments, how much would you pay for us to do a podcast shirtless? If the if the number's right, you never know your life. Patreon.
Unknown Speaker (1:11:25): This is it. This is it. The good, the bad, and the ugly,
Unknown Speaker (1:11:37): Wilbur. Yeah, mate. Good. Oh, what is not good in this movie? The book?
Unknown Speaker (1:11:43): That's a good question. Yeah. Okay. Now I'm gonna give you give you a few goods. Great soundtrack, good mix of orchestral and some d cups too.
Will (1:11:50): There was an excellent gospel track for the credits and a really cool track in the hardware store scene as well. Yep. And it's just a a good variance of music through there that just kind of Yep. Emoted the scene better. So the guys have done some work there with the music.
Will (1:12:05): I really liked it. I love the concept of the film. The the original details, science based, incorporating relativity, light spectrum science, physics, the redemption of self, and the power of love.
Unknown Speaker (1:12:20): Oh. Oh god.
Unknown Speaker (1:12:22): Yeah. Essentially, bloody Huey Lewis and the news. I loved I the the concept of the movie and bringing all of that together and delivering in the way it was was really cool. And the fact that it was accessible to all ages
Unknown Speaker (1:12:37): Yep.
Unknown Speaker (1:12:38): I think it's a really it's a great movie. It's a really necessary movie for the day and age we're living at the moment. It's a bit doom and gloom at the moment, reckon.
Unknown Speaker (1:12:45): You think? Yeah. Need more. We need more of this. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:12:47): I agree.
Will (1:12:48): Yeah. We've talked about it. Ryan Gosling's goofy comedy is really good. He delivers on the lightness amid the heaviness of the of his predicament.
Unknown Speaker (1:12:57): Yep.
Unknown Speaker (1:12:59): The hug after Rocketbanks.
Unknown Speaker (1:13:01): Oh my god.
Unknown Speaker (1:13:04): That that was good. That was good.
Unknown Speaker (1:13:07): I'm pretty happy to see him. Yeah. So we finished? Yeah. Well, that was the early hug.
Unknown Speaker (1:13:11): That was the first hug, but then there's the second hug.
Unknown Speaker (1:13:13): They just hugged forever, the last one.
Unknown Speaker (1:13:15): Yeah. But, yeah, that that was great.
Whitey (1:13:17): Oh, I I I got a bit choked up when because, obviously, Rylan was tapping on the glass. Yeah. And then he falls asleep, and then Rocky starts to tap on the glass when he wakes up. Was like, oh.
Unknown Speaker (1:13:28): Yes. That's good.
Unknown Speaker (1:13:29): This was
Unknown Speaker (1:13:29): so fucking good. Thank goodness. Yeah.
Will (1:13:31): I like the arc of him opening up to being brave. He doesn't even get on the ship by bravery, but being the Earth's last resort and finding his best friend is an alien is a direct callback to the captain talking about attaching a bravery to something.
Unknown Speaker (1:13:46): Yep.
Unknown Speaker (1:13:46): That was really good. Yep. I liked it. Yeah. It was he was so reluctant the whole way through until he was in the middle of it, and he had to choose, and he was just like, let's go.
Unknown Speaker (1:13:54): Let's just do it. To death, we write. Yep. You know? And he was he was on board for it.
Will (1:14:00): I like I know you like a little bit of exposition. Yep. I like the exposition in the in the video logs.
Whitey (1:14:06): I that's what they do. That's a thread in The Martian. There's a lot of video logs as well. Yeah. I think that's really cool way of doing it.
Will (1:14:13): It it was with such a detail heavy, like, situation where he he you do need something to explain, like, why has he run why all of a sudden is there a disaster happening? Yes. Like, we've got this thing that's infiltrated the fuel and now the ship doesn't work. How do I convey this in the next thirty seconds that I need to go and see Rocky? Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:14:36): I'll do a video log. I'm gonna tell them exactly send a message to them. Yeah. Yeah. And everything I need to know is being told to them.
Unknown Speaker (1:14:43): Yep.
Unknown Speaker (1:14:43): It was good. I know it's been done to death a lot of times.
Unknown Speaker (1:14:46): It does. When it's done well and it was done well. But when it's done well, it's it's excellent.
Will (1:14:50): Yeah. And then finally, when that video lands, you know, twenty five years from now and she's seeing video. She's holding the figurine that cuts out to that icebreaker ship going through.
Unknown Speaker (1:15:01): Yeah. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:15:02): Such a cool shot.
Unknown Speaker (1:15:03): I really
Unknown Speaker (1:15:03): liked it. It just jumped out. The world was like, become key. It was old.
Unknown Speaker (1:15:08): And she was aged not like that you could say, oh, hang on.
Unknown Speaker (1:15:11): Yeah. A little bit. Yeah. Still stoic as almost cracked a smile.
Unknown Speaker (1:15:15): Still That's same job. Yeah. Like, there's a big gap between them flying off Yeah. And getting the answers.
Unknown Speaker (1:15:21): Yeah. Yeah. She's
Unknown Speaker (1:15:22): And you just gotta like, I gotta What
Unknown Speaker (1:15:23): are gonna do?
Unknown Speaker (1:15:24): Yeah. Which is kind
Unknown Speaker (1:15:25): of like Interstellar sort of thing. It is. Yeah.
Whitey (1:15:27): Yeah. There's a lot of parallels between this and the Stella. The rocky ship reminded me a lot of Interstellar. The final scene. The spinning the The final scene when, McConaughey is falling through time
Unknown Speaker (1:15:38): Yep.
Unknown Speaker (1:15:38): And he gets to the bookcase.
Unknown Speaker (1:15:40): Oh, that's what it does look like. The internals look a lot like
Unknown Speaker (1:15:42): that. I thought. Yeah. Yeah. Very cool.
Will (1:15:45): How do you not spiral into panic knowing you're this one human being in this piece of metal in the middle of nowhere? Like like, how does it not overtake you? Yeah. The panic. And then to to just be like, this is what?
Will (1:16:03): This is it now? I've just gotta get on with working out?
Damo (1:16:06): They had so much trust in that ship just working all the time.
Whitey (1:16:10): Yeah. But I think that's that's space. You just think Seriously, if you overthink it, you are not getting on that fucking thing.
Unknown Speaker (1:16:17): No. It's it's it's gonna work all the time. It's gonna be
Whitey (1:16:19): like Because there is fuck all between you and space. There's like we're talking millimeters.
Unknown Speaker (1:16:25): Well, it was glass in some of the
Unknown Speaker (1:16:26): Right.
Unknown Speaker (1:16:26): Yeah. There was a windows on the ship. Yeah.
Will (1:16:29): It really is. And and I think that's what's so fascinating about space travel movies is is that is it's partially a reality that we live in now. That we do send people up there, and they do some crazy ass things like fly around the moon or get on the moon and get off again. You're a believer, that is. You know?
Unknown Speaker (1:16:46): But to then think, oh, man. Imagine actually, like, being in that predicament, like, pretty sketchy feeling.
Unknown Speaker (1:16:59): No. Fuck that. I'm not I'm not made for that. Yeah. Thanks.
Unknown Speaker (1:17:01): Plus, I'm not fitting in any spaceship.
Unknown Speaker (1:17:03): Oh, they'd make them big enough.
Unknown Speaker (1:17:05): No. Please. I'm fucked. If we ever need to leave this planet, I'm fucked.
Unknown Speaker (1:17:09): Podcast is in in space. You know?
Unknown Speaker (1:17:11): Yeah. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:17:12): You wanna get priority?
Unknown Speaker (1:17:13): Entertainment.
Damo (1:17:13): Yeah. Demo, good. Just his, like, his reactions were over the top reactions to everything. Yeah. Like, I'm wondering if you're on your own, if you're gonna react that over the top, but he he could maybe and you probably do, but they're really all human reactions.
Damo (1:17:32): Like, when he woke up, he's like, call Houston. Operation go home. You know? Whatever. Just starts just starts saying funny stuff.
Unknown Speaker (1:17:42): Yeah.
Damo (1:17:42): Like yeah. When that he threw the the first message across, shields up.
Unknown Speaker (1:17:50): Oh, god. Hello.
Unknown Speaker (1:17:52): It's like he
Damo (1:17:54): he just there's always really little detailed things, bits that I liked. It was funny. And even when he started working on the astrophage and all the people in there, you know, they're clapping and everything. They're watching him through the glass window. He said, would it matter if I die?
Unknown Speaker (1:18:09): Am I expendable? And they're all having a chat amongst you. He said, you actually have to Yeah. Yeah. Actually, you talk
Unknown Speaker (1:18:15): discussing this. You gotta talk about
Unknown Speaker (1:18:16): it. Sorry. So we've
Unknown Speaker (1:18:30): So that was funny. The the the German personality grade just blunt to the point. And, like, she didn't he would say a joke to her. You know, permission to come on board captain or what
Unknown Speaker (1:18:44): a You're already on board.
Unknown Speaker (1:18:45): You know? Did you get one of those free hats? I bought them.
Unknown Speaker (1:18:48): Yeah.
Damo (1:18:48): You know? Like, she just didn't accept not one of his jokes. No. Not one of his jokes. She answered it
Unknown Speaker (1:18:56): literally. Literally. Literally. Yeah. So literal.
Unknown Speaker (1:18:59): That's good.
Damo (1:19:00): So and when did it remind you a bit, like, when Rocky came on board and he's looking through everything, like like, Yoda going through Luke's shit?
Unknown Speaker (1:19:06): I get it.
Unknown Speaker (1:19:06): Like, hey. Leave that. Don't touch that.
Unknown Speaker (1:19:08): Don't what do
Unknown Speaker (1:19:09): do at all? What's in here? What's in here? What's in here? Just it's just gone nuts.
Unknown Speaker (1:19:14): And the the other thing too, well, like, when Rocky only had a limited vocabulary, when he was trying to give him some inspiration, he
Unknown Speaker (1:19:21): said, words of encouragement. Encouragement. It's in my quotes. Words of encouragement. Words of encouragement.
Unknown Speaker (1:19:27): Words because you don't say words of encouragement. It's just like, Rocky was a star. Yeah. Like, he really was.
Unknown Speaker (1:19:35): Pretty funny.
Unknown Speaker (1:19:35): Like
Unknown Speaker (1:19:36): I loved it. I mean, even when he was tapping on the glass, he got you like the tap, do you? And they're like, he's jiving with the tap. Right? He just keeps tapping more.
Unknown Speaker (1:19:43): He's like, I've
Unknown Speaker (1:19:44): left you parcel on the shelf
Unknown Speaker (1:19:45): over there.
Unknown Speaker (1:19:46): He goes, oh.
Will (1:19:47): Oh. But then to to then, like, to pull that apart and actually be, like, scientifically based, two two rings of eight
Unknown Speaker (1:19:55): Oh. Oxygen.
Unknown Speaker (1:19:57): Oh, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:19:57): Oh. O two wow.
Will (1:19:59): And it and it clicks. And hang on. And that, like, that's really cool. But the puppet shows and things. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:20:05): Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:20:05): This rocket You just want the puppet show again? You wanna do the puppet show again?
Unknown Speaker (1:20:09): There's gotta be kids that watch that and be, like, tickled by that. Yeah. I mean, like, I think I like science. 100%. I think I like it.
Unknown Speaker (1:20:16): You know what mean? Like
Unknown Speaker (1:20:16): Yeah. Yep.
Whitey (1:20:17): Yeah. It doesn't have to be dorkiness.
Unknown Speaker (1:20:19): Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Whitey (1:20:20): Agreed. Okay. Well, you've said most of mine, but Gosling's performance. I really liked Grace and Carl's relationship. Was was really cool.
Unknown Speaker (1:20:30): Carl was pretty cool.
Unknown Speaker (1:20:31): Yeah. Carl.
Unknown Speaker (1:20:32): And then even at the end where he's like, Carl, he goes, you can do it. Yeah. You know? And then he's gone. Yeah.
Whitey (1:20:38): Yeah. You know? I thought that was really cool. Then when they go shopping and they come back and they do, you know, gonna science the shit out of this.
Unknown Speaker (1:20:44): Colin, I made a baby.
Whitey (1:20:46): Yeah. Yeah. That's it. The I I love that pro I I love the project part. So I love that when they go to thing and there's he's working shit out.
Whitey (1:20:54): I love that in all movies when they're they're gonna solve that problem and and they take you through the phases of it. That's really cool. The fist bump. Oh, the Bump my Bump my No. Fist my bump.
Unknown Speaker (1:21:05): Fist my bump. Fist Fist bump. It's it's it's fist bump.
Unknown Speaker (1:21:07): No. Not yet. Yep.
Whitey (1:21:09): No. I I I really like I thought that was funny. Finding his voice, I thought that was really funny.
Unknown Speaker (1:21:14): But the the default voices were pretty full on. Yeah. Yeah. They were.
Unknown Speaker (1:21:18): I love the Meryl Streep bit.
Unknown Speaker (1:21:20): Oh, she can do anything. She can do anything. That was really So we're
Unknown Speaker (1:21:26): assuming Rocky was a male.
Whitey (1:21:28): Yeah. Well, we see how yeah. Well, we're assuming he's the male because Adrian is Well We don't know. He's his mate. He might be another male.
Unknown Speaker (1:21:35): Yeah. Yeah.
Whitey (1:21:36): So which why it works? Adrian is either male or female. Yeah. Rocking in the ball. I just thought, him going around the place.
Unknown Speaker (1:21:45): I thought that was amazing. I love how he built this shit.
Unknown Speaker (1:21:47): He was such a he was good with hands.
Unknown Speaker (1:21:49): Next level, man. He was good with
Unknown Speaker (1:21:50): his hands. He can build anything.
Unknown Speaker (1:21:52): I wonder when he bought that five kilometers of chain. Oh. It's like this?
Unknown Speaker (1:21:56): Yeah. Yeah. This oh, yeah. Okay. You like that.
Unknown Speaker (1:21:58): And then it was hanging up all through the road. Yeah. Spaceship. It's just
Unknown Speaker (1:22:01): five kilometers of chain. Yeah. Just the greatest engineer known to
Unknown Speaker (1:22:04): Oh, he's amazing. He's mechanic.
Unknown Speaker (1:22:06): The fact that he the the the tunnel between the ships Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:22:09): And he
Damo (1:22:09): because he kicked him out. He got him in the first time, then realized he needed oxygen. He realized he could see through glass
Unknown Speaker (1:22:15): Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:22:15): Or whatever.
Will (1:22:16): Well, this the thing is in the book they talk about the wall that he builds Yeah. There's a little patch down low which is translucent because Rocky doesn't see the way we see. He just sees through everything all the time, but he's like, I'm gonna make this wall out of, like, 30 different things. 30 different bits of material Yeah. To what to to kinda just hedge my bets as to where he looks first.
Unknown Speaker (1:22:36): And then he looks like got drawn to the clear part. He's like, oh, he must okay. So he must have to see on this spectrum, like, light spectrum. Yeah. So that's why built
Unknown Speaker (1:22:45): the full glass
Unknown Speaker (1:22:46): Yeah. And he put the oxygen in there. Yeah. It was like, man. Oh, man.
Unknown Speaker (1:22:49): He's freaking
Will (1:22:50): talented. Both working overtime, working each other out, and, like, in how to operate together
Unknown Speaker (1:22:55): Yes. At the whole time.
Unknown Speaker (1:22:56): It's really cool.
Unknown Speaker (1:22:57): Yeah. It's a really good book.
Damo (1:22:58): You see it more from his perspective, but I'm sure from the book, there's probably Rocky's perspective a bit maybe, or is it It's
Unknown Speaker (1:23:05): still a lot from Ryland Grace's perspective, but you get a a a lot more detail on what Rocky was trying to achieve at the
Unknown Speaker (1:23:11): same time.
Unknown Speaker (1:23:12): Yeah. Yeah. So but, yeah, really good.
Unknown Speaker (1:23:14): Really good. The TV room. Yeah. He's amazing. And I'd love to just have a
Unknown Speaker (1:23:19): room with him.
Unknown Speaker (1:23:19): Oh, like the big screen. Just sitting in there. And when he watches Rocky with him
Unknown Speaker (1:23:24): Yeah. That would just be amazing.
Unknown Speaker (1:23:26): I I saw that. Rocky with him,
Unknown Speaker (1:23:27): was like, fuck.
Unknown Speaker (1:23:28): This is great. Yeah. And then in the seventh one Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:23:31): He coaches his son.
Unknown Speaker (1:23:31): Yeah. But
Whitey (1:23:35): but yeah. Look. I for me for me, it's it's just the feel good. Right? Yeah.
Whitey (1:23:41): That's what I love about it. I just think that the it's it's incredible that they've got us to buy into this relationship between a man and effectively inanimate object that has this personality. Yep. That is a computer voice. Right?
Whitey (1:23:55): And so, and that's just, that's the script. That's obviously the acting of Gosling letting us know that he's bought into this. And there's once he gets loose and he's allowed into the ship, think that's changes the dynamic completely because then they're together all
Unknown Speaker (1:24:10): the time. Right? Same lab.
Unknown Speaker (1:24:11): That was really cool.
Unknown Speaker (1:24:12): That was
Whitey (1:24:12): really cool. Bad, Damon.
Damo (1:24:15): I I found some scenes were so extended, drawn out. Some I I understood to be drawn out to show you needed thinking time and you needed things, but some things like the whole shopping scene at the the the hardware store
Unknown Speaker (1:24:28): Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:24:28): It's probably bit long. Yeah. To open up the boxes and things, probably a bit long. Yeah. Getting ready for the second message to come through.
Damo (1:24:38): Probably but there was some things worth like, holy shit. Because it was a long movie, two and a half hours.
Whitey (1:24:43): Reckon 02:36. 02:36, and and I'm with you, mate. I've got twenty minutes too long. Yeah. I think there's ten minutes in both halves of the movie.
Whitey (1:24:50): Yeah. There's ten minutes in the earthbound part Yeah. And there's ten minutes in the space part.
Unknown Speaker (1:24:54): Was the karaoke required?
Unknown Speaker (1:24:56): No. No. It's it's not. But that's to soften her
Unknown Speaker (1:24:59): Yeah. Character.
Unknown Speaker (1:25:00): Yeah. But Really not necessary. It's not necessary, but there's heaps like, there's ten minutes in either part. There's twenty minutes even more. Doesn't need to like, this is a two hour fifteen movie.
Whitey (1:25:10): At two hours fifteen, this is lean, and this feels lean. Yeah. And it feels like you are everything's for a purpose.
Unknown Speaker (1:25:16): Yeah.
Whitey (1:25:17): Whereas this there is like, Isabelle fell asleep. Yeah. And it's not a movie that she should really fall asleep in. No. But I just think there's times where you're right.
Whitey (1:25:26): It does feel like it's they're trying to drag it out.
Damo (1:25:29): Like, half the movie, there's only it's conversations between two Two people. That's it. The whole time.
Unknown Speaker (1:25:33): Yeah. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:25:34): And it's like, lucky they had a really good thing to work on
Unknown Speaker (1:25:37): that But
Whitey (1:25:38): if you if you cut but if they cut fifteen or twenty seconds from a lot of scenes Yeah. There's twenty minutes.
Unknown Speaker (1:25:44): Yeah. No. They could have done. Yeah. So that's what I think.
Damo (1:25:46): But what happened to the crew was the thing that I thought about at the end. Yeah. Like, they've never explained that. Like, why is the pilot dead, and why is the engineer dead? Yeah.
Damo (1:25:57): I don't know if
Will (1:25:58): they they kind of explained it well enough in the movie itself.
Unknown Speaker (1:26:01): Don't explain it at all. I mean, he wakes up and they're dead. Yeah.
Will (1:26:04): Because they they've all been in a coma for a long time. Yeah. And that robot has been basically different
Unknown Speaker (1:26:09): section. They were up.
Unknown Speaker (1:26:10): They were in the same room. It's just on shelves. They were in the shelves. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:26:13): It's just a little So that robot obviously tends to them.
Will (1:26:15): Life support robot. And it was like it was feeding them tubes. It was doing all of the work. It was also giving them, like, muscle workouts because he wakes up and he's, like, more muscular than he's ever been, and he's he's, like, ripped. Oh.
Unknown Speaker (1:26:27): It's like, have
Unknown Speaker (1:26:27): I always been this hard to
Will (1:26:29): put together? Like but it's because he's been exercised every day for Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:26:33): Yeah. Yeah.
Will (1:26:33): This, like, for years in this coma. Yeah. Those two just didn't make it. They just didn't something went wrong during the coma process, and they just didn't get through.
Unknown Speaker (1:26:42): Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:26:43): Yeah. So it was kinda like one of
Whitey (1:26:44): the first time we've ever seen that in a movie. Yeah. Like generally, if you people going to sleep in high sleep, whatever, there's there's nothing mentioned that you might not wake up. Yeah. Yeah.
Whitey (1:26:55): Like, it's just the thing that this is what's gonna happen. You're gonna go to sleep and you're gonna wake up in ten years and you're gonna be where you are. Yeah. Like, we never know that hang on. There's a chance that you die
Unknown Speaker (1:27:04): in a coma?
Unknown Speaker (1:27:05): Yeah. What the fuck? Yeah. Yeah. That's literally the first movie that's ever happened.
Will (1:27:09): Yeah. Yep. They they go into the in the detail in the book. He because he had a genuine relationship with these people, and he was having this weird conundrum because he couldn't remember what was going on or why, but he felt so much, like, sentimental compassion for them. And he was trying to work out how.
Unknown Speaker (1:27:28): Yeah. Because it was like it was dragging all these emotions out of him and seeing them dead, and he was putting pieces together. He realized, oh, these were my friends. Yeah. Like, I was actually quite close to these two.
Unknown Speaker (1:27:38): Yeah. Yeah. Was very interesting. Should read the book if you haven't picked up by now.
Unknown Speaker (1:27:42): Yeah. Definitely.
Unknown Speaker (1:27:43): Alright. Anything else for bad,
Unknown Speaker (1:27:44): though? No. That's it. Wilbur?
Unknown Speaker (1:27:46): No. I mean, just getting pinned down and put into a coma against you, Will. I thought that was kind of bad, but that's part of the story. I I don't know. I didn't really pick up much bad out of it.
Unknown Speaker (1:27:54): Alright. I've only got the the time. Anyone could do anything for ugly? No. Nothing.
Unknown Speaker (1:27:59): What about Rocky eating through his ass? It's beautiful. Rocky eating through his ass.
Unknown Speaker (1:28:04): Oh, boy. How do you eat? You're so ugly to hear it, but and how do you eat? Well, it's beautiful. Watch this.
Damo (1:28:08): He's just shucking
Unknown Speaker (1:28:09): straight up. He's like, oh. Yeah. Okay. Well done.
Unknown Speaker (1:28:13): Quick fire.
Damo (1:28:15): There is no popular culture stuff yet.
Unknown Speaker (1:28:17): Do you think the thumbs down might become a a popular culture? Possibly. Possibly. I I don't think there'll be much in this movie that's pop culture.
Unknown Speaker (1:28:25): I mean, I think I will say fist my bum.
Unknown Speaker (1:28:27): Oh, yeah. It's pretty funny.
Unknown Speaker (1:28:28): You're right. That
Unknown Speaker (1:28:29): may pretty funny.
Damo (1:28:30): That will definitely probably get a run. Yeah. Biggest douchebag. Biggest douchebag. Well,
Whitey (1:28:38): jeez. It's there's two people. There's three people in the movie that you get to You or four. There are four people that you have any formal relationship with in this movie. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:28:47): And if you're gonna be a douche bag, it's probably the German because she's But she's doing a job. She's not a douche bag. Yeah. There's no douche bag.
Unknown Speaker (1:28:54): No. Okay. No. That's it. And this is this doesn't even work.
Damo (1:28:57): How could this be a five minute movie? It can't be.
Unknown Speaker (1:28:59): Can't. It can't be a two and a
Unknown Speaker (1:29:01): half hour movie.
Damo (1:29:01): An eleven it's a twenty two year movie. That's right. Exactly. Holy shit. This is Quickfire's redundant.
Unknown Speaker (1:29:08): This is redundant. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:29:09): So is the next one.
Unknown Speaker (1:29:10): Sporting prowess?
Whitey (1:29:12): Yeah. Nothing. Goddamn it.
Damo (1:29:16): An an additional scene, maybe to find out what happened to the other members of the crew?
Unknown Speaker (1:29:20): Yeah. It could have been a sex scene on the area. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:29:24): There's always opportunity
Unknown Speaker (1:29:25): for that. No. That's that's a fair point.
Unknown Speaker (1:29:28): Yeah. Always. Very fair point. Disappointed.
Unknown Speaker (1:29:30): Best looking. Why does Brad Pitt? Holy shit.
Whitey (1:29:34): I'm gonna say the the the Russian, The girl that Yeah. He's got the she's the
Unknown Speaker (1:29:40): She's the engineer. Engineer. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:29:42): A there's no amount there's another
Damo (1:29:44): thing else. What about the German?
Whitey (1:29:45): Nah. She's I don't find her attractive at all. Yeah. She'd have red pubes as well. Maybe.
Unknown Speaker (1:29:51): That's probably why you find her attractive.
Unknown Speaker (1:29:54): She's alright.
Unknown Speaker (1:29:56): It looks like It's
Whitey (1:29:57): not it's not It's not full of No. There's not many opportunities. Nothing. There's probably some girls on the Well, go gossip. Career.
Whitey (1:30:03): Yeah. Well, goslings. The gosling is streets ahead of everyone being the most attractive. I'm just not feeling Wang at the moment. No.
Unknown Speaker (1:30:11): Yeah. No. I'm just not feeling it.

Unknown Speaker (1:30:18): This is really rocky, baby.
Unknown Speaker (1:30:19): Looks bit like monks. Well, same size nose.
Unknown Speaker (1:30:22): Eating. Yeah. That's if Quickfire We should've we should've just deleted Quickfire.
Unknown Speaker (1:30:27): Yeah. It was probably needed to be done.
Unknown Speaker (1:30:29): The snarls report. A three breasted women turn in a trick. The Snobs Report, a life's crusade. The Snobs Report, counting the breasts on display. The Snobs Report.
Damo (1:30:41): Snobs Report. Yeah. Hell. This is yeah. Well, I did some late research on this one, so I better get to it.

Unknown Speaker (1:32:26): She's Snorb's Spadger in the snow. Mhmm. Yeah. You don't get that too often, but you do need to
Unknown Speaker (1:32:32): do architect.
Damo (1:32:33): Yeah. Right. Yep. In Madonna? Madonna?
Damo (1:32:40): Interesting scene here. Couple buttons undone on the blouse with a snorb hanging out. Oh, I like

Unknown Speaker (1:33:01): It's one of yeah. It's a good look. I'd love I'd I
Will (1:33:03): would I would really love to you do a deep dive lecture on on the difference between one
Unknown Speaker (1:33:08): One out
Will (1:33:08): with clothes on. One out with clothes on but not nursing child versus the difference between one out with, you know, child attached to child.
Unknown Speaker (1:33:18): But I have always said too, if you're gonna nurse your child, you gotta get balance that you gotta have the other one out too. Right. Yeah. That's the way
Unknown Speaker (1:33:23): it works.
Unknown Speaker (1:33:24): That's right. You did too.
Unknown Speaker (1:33:25): It's not sexual. No.
Unknown Speaker (1:33:27): It's just balance. It's it's
Unknown Speaker (1:33:29): it's fine. Thinking about the woman. Yeah. You're thinking about it. About her.
Whitey (1:33:32): Yeah. Now the one out, was it the west facing stuff?
Unknown Speaker (1:33:35): No. She's got the
Unknown Speaker (1:33:37): she's pretty even. Standard. Standard. Cairns. Standard.
Unknown Speaker (1:33:39): Melons. Yeah. North south.
Unknown Speaker (1:33:41): North south. What's the ratio aspect Well, on
Unknown Speaker (1:33:44): probably South leaning.
Unknown Speaker (1:33:46): Yeah. South. Okay. 46 like, 60. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:33:51): Kind of. No. Sixty forty. 60 down.
Unknown Speaker (1:33:53): What do you mean? Sixty forty. Forty sixty forty top 60 down. Yeah. That's what I'm thinking.
Unknown Speaker (1:33:57): And, that's it for the snobs report.
Whitey (1:34:00): Okay. Now now just on that, the the forty sixty, like, would you say Phoebe Cates is fifty fifty?
Unknown Speaker (1:34:05): She was perfect. Equilateral.
Unknown Speaker (1:34:06): Yeah. Yeah. She's perfect. She's perfect. I mean, I've I've I've I won't say I'm professor Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:34:13): At this. Right?
Unknown Speaker (1:34:13): But I
Will (1:34:13): am a really post grad on the subject and I've mentioned before we've got that we were reversing our ratios a bit because it's actually the perfect ratio is like less on top more on the bottom So you get those Yeah. Yeah. Slightly like, that's what creates perkiness.
Unknown Speaker (1:34:32): Yes.
Will (1:34:32): Right? When you've got more volume underneath and a bit more tautness on top. Right? So what you're referring to is the more, you would say, south facing models. The sixty forty heavy on top Yeah.
Will (1:34:47): Lighter on bottom. Yeah. Phoebe Kate's seventy thirty. No. No.
Will (1:34:51): She's perfect. They're the
Damo (1:34:52): Fifty fifty. It's the smack bang.
Unknown Speaker (1:34:55): Yeah. You have And all and natural as
Unknown Speaker (1:34:58): perfectly they're they're equilateral.

Will (1:35:15): Speaking of the German, second movie ever that she's well, actually, not the first movie she sung karaoke in. She sung a karaoke in another movie before as well. Really? Yeah. Funnily enough.
Unknown Speaker (1:35:26): Der Architect?
Unknown Speaker (1:35:27): Don't know. I didn't pick up the name of it. It might have been the architect. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:35:31): She was in duets with Huey Lewis Oh. And Gwyneth Bultra.
Unknown Speaker (1:35:34): Yeah. Gwyneth. Yeah. This one
Will (1:35:36): was funny. You know, when Rocky Rocky's like, do you have mate? And he goes, I did once, but she's a she she's now with another man. Yeah. What's his name?
Will (1:35:47): His name's Mark. I hate Mark. Yeah. Mark is one of Ryan Gosling's best mates.
Unknown Speaker (1:35:52): Oh, really? Alright.
Will (1:35:53): And so and it was ad libbed. Oh. Oh, really? Puppeteer running Rocky is this guy who had a puppeteer that they cut him out of the movie ad libbed out of in that point just went, I hate Mark. And they were like, this is I've been famous as single.
Will (1:36:07): Stay in. And so they kept it in. So now Mark has an Easter egg. They've been doing projects for years together, Mark and Brian. Like, as in, like yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:36:14): They worked he works behind the scenes. Hey, good Hey. Good to That was a cool little tidbit. Yeah. I liked it.
Unknown Speaker (1:36:20): That's it. Wilbur?
Unknown Speaker (1:36:21): Yeah. Domo?
Unknown Speaker (1:36:22): Yeah. I've got nothing.
Whitey (1:36:23): Okay. So Andy, we extensively researches everything. Obviously being an author, need to know that the devil's in the detail. Right? So all the astrophysics, the biology, how Rocky communicates was all stress tested for accuracy.
Whitey (1:36:40): So it's all like legit sense. Yeah. It all sort of made sense. Right. So, Gosling really wanted the role for for it since twenty one, twenty twenty one when it was sort of floated that it was gonna be a movie.
Whitey (1:36:52): He really pushed
Unknown Speaker (1:36:53): for it.
Unknown Speaker (1:36:53): Had he
Unknown Speaker (1:36:53): read the book or something?
Whitey (1:36:54): Yeah. Think he had. So it was all over that. He really wanted to be it and you can see because he loves it. What do we got here?
Whitey (1:37:04): So the Martian, he's like the original book, the Martian that he did, but it was made by Ridley Scott with Matt Damon. He self published that on his own website for free. Oh, wow. So he put it up chapter by chapter after publishers passed on it. It was downloaded so many times.
Whitey (1:37:21): He eventually put it on Amazon for 99¢.
Unknown Speaker (1:37:24): No way.
Whitey (1:37:24): You hit number one. Hollywood came calling.
Unknown Speaker (1:37:28): What a legend. That's such a baller move. How about that?
Unknown Speaker (1:37:31): But 99¢, you're gonna come number one.
Unknown Speaker (1:37:33): Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:37:34): Here we go. I'm buying that.
Unknown Speaker (1:37:35): Yeah. But you get, you get, you get 10,000,000 people download it.
Unknown Speaker (1:37:39): Yeah. Well, you're right.
Whitey (1:37:41): It's 99¢. I'll take a punt on that. Yeah. And if it's number one, then it's not 99¢. Well, best seller on Self published, Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:37:51): Self published.
Unknown Speaker (1:37:51): All the money goes to him.
Whitey (1:37:53): Yeah. So good. Incredible. So the main challenge obviously is how Ryland and Rocky learn to communicate. It was inspired by real scientific thinking around how humanity might attempt to communicate with extraterrestrials.
Whitey (1:38:08): They re like we researched city communication theory extensively to make the process feel like it was plausible rather than a convenient accident. Yeah. They figured it out. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:38:21): They spent some time on it.
Unknown Speaker (1:38:22): Yeah. Was actually It was good. Worked out. Yeah. And no sequel planned.
Unknown Speaker (1:38:25): So Okay. Nothing coming. So that's it. We don't know whether Interesting. He gets home or not.
Will (1:38:30): In the book, they at that at the end of the movie when he's teaching the class of aliens Yeah. That's rubbies. Yeah. In the movie I mean, in the book, he's got a keyboard, and he just plays music to them because he's so fluent
Unknown Speaker (1:38:43): Fluent with their language now.
Will (1:38:44): Their language. Oh, right. He just plays music to them, and they hear it as language. Close encounters. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:38:50): Communication like just jamming all day
Unknown Speaker (1:38:52): with him. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:38:53): And there was a little callback to that too. Oh, is it? In the movie. Yeah. There was
Unknown Speaker (1:38:57): too. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:38:58): Yeah. I didn't
Unknown Speaker (1:38:59): hear it. Yeah. It was the first thing he did to him. Yeah. And he did it back to him.
Unknown Speaker (1:39:03): Yeah. Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Unknown Speaker (1:39:05): Yes.
Whitey (1:39:05): Yeah. Quotables people. We've mentioned a couple already, and I think that
Unknown Speaker (1:39:11): tickles your bump. Fist my bump, but and also whoop there it is that was kind of like a bit of a
Unknown Speaker (1:39:19): whoop there it is
Unknown Speaker (1:39:20): yeah. Damo?
Unknown Speaker (1:39:22): Didn't know just yeah I've said them all
Unknown Speaker (1:39:23): in the
Unknown Speaker (1:39:24): woods pretty
Whitey (1:39:24): much yeah yeah mind words of encouragement Yeah. And fist my bump. One degree of curt. Couldn't find anything. It's very, very short.
Unknown Speaker (1:39:33): Yeah. It had to be gozzling. Yeah. But if it's not, then it's not.
Whitey (1:39:36): There's no gozzling. Yeah. Film Film school school for for f f wits. Now we're doing hard science on screen When Hollywood does its homework, gets it right now. Science fiction movies have a bit of a reputation and some of them are earned the good reputation and some of them are earned the bad reputation, but you know, we've seen Armageddon, we've seen deep impact.
Whitey (1:40:11): We've seen massive asteroids hitting earth. We've seen the guy who survives falling from orbit because he landed in a river. We've seen, So Hollywood and science have a complicated relationship and usually science loses, but every now and again, gets done. So I've got a few here. I'm going to tell you what it is.
Whitey (1:40:33): So we'll start with the Martian, which is the first Andy Weir book Ridley Scott directed 2015 movie. NASA loved this film so much. They used it as a recruiting film, as a recruiting tool. The science of growing food on Mars, the orbital mechanics, the communication blackouts, almost all of it checks out. Andy Weir spent years as a software engineer and is essentially a self taught astros aerospace nerd.
Whitey (1:41:00): He did the math himself before he wrote a single scene. The film inherited that rigor and you can feel it when Matt Damon is rationing potatoes, you believe the situation because the situation has been earned. So what Matt I don't know if you've seen have you seen them all? No.
Unknown Speaker (1:41:13): I haven't. It's great. Yeah.
Whitey (1:41:14): So he grows potatoes. Yeah. And he actually he then actually cuts them up so that he's got food for until they know when he's gonna be rescued. So it's pretty cool how he works all that out and how he actually creates the fucking environment to grow the potatoes in. Like, it's pretty amazing.
Whitey (1:41:32): Yeah. Then there's Interstellar. So obviously Christopher Nolan brought in Kip Thorne, an actual Nobel Prize winning theoretical physicist. He was an executive producer and science consultant. So the black hole at the center, like gargantua, was rendered using equations Thorn wrote specifically for the production.
Whitey (1:41:52): So the visual effects team didn't know what they were going to get until the maths came back. So he wrote the equations about this black hole and that's what is on the screen. Right? So so what they got was so scientifically accurate that it generated two published papers in scientific journals. A Hollywood blockbuster produced peer reviewed research.
Whitey (1:42:14): So
Unknown Speaker (1:42:14): He was pretty amazing. Stretched by like down on molecular level at some point during that. If you remember that Yeah. Where he's flying into the event Yeah. About to go over through and he's starting to get stretched out.
Whitey (1:42:25): It's full on. It's full on. So then we've got the movie we've spoken about just recently, 2000 and a space odyssey. Yep. Yeah.
Whitey (1:42:32): Kubrick made the film in '68, which is mental. Consulted with NASA and aerospace engineers throughout the production depiction of zero gravity, the silence of space, the slow rotation of the discovery one to simulate gravity. All of it is grounded in real physics. It's over fifty years. Well, it's nearly silly 60 years old now.
Whitey (1:42:55): Still holds up scientifically better than most films made ever. And I've just recently started to watch it again. And the science stuff is like, the space stuff is incredible. Story is shit. And Croaksy, I know you don't listen to us anymore because you've now moved on to knuckle and and bigger and better things, but I'm willing to go to blows about science 2006.
Whitey (1:43:18): I I just don't think it's very good. It looks amazing.
Unknown Speaker (1:43:22): I just
Unknown Speaker (1:43:23): don't think it's very good. Now let's go the
Unknown Speaker (1:43:25): other end of watched it on mushrooms though yet.
Unknown Speaker (1:43:27): No. It that's what it's need
Unknown Speaker (1:43:28): to do. It's a
Unknown Speaker (1:43:28): trip movie. Do wanna do a
Unknown Speaker (1:43:30): Do wanna do a mushroom? Got a horse, get some mushrooms.
Unknown Speaker (1:43:32): Yeah. That's it. I'll just cook him salt and pepper. Bit of olive oil. Bit butter.
Unknown Speaker (1:43:36): Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:43:37): Butter. Chocolate
Unknown Speaker (1:43:37): 2001.
Unknown Speaker (1:43:38): There we go. Done. Armageddon, they are the bad ones. Armageddon.
Unknown Speaker (1:43:42): Shit ass movie.
Whitey (1:43:43): NASA actually uses this film this film in their training program as well. Not as an inspiration
Unknown Speaker (1:43:50): It is.
Unknown Speaker (1:43:51): As a game.
Unknown Speaker (1:43:51): Right.
Whitey (1:43:52): They ask candidates to identify every scientific inaccuracy. How many you reckon there are? 50? A 168. Oh, jeez.
Unknown Speaker (1:44:02): Alright. Now there's another movie, The Core, which stars Hillary Swank. Yeah. Yeah. It's true.
Whitey (1:44:07): That's true. Terrible movie. Yeah. Gave us a plan to restart the Earth's core by detonating nuclear bombs inside it while traveling in the ship made of a fictional material that converts heat into energy. Oh, wow.
Whitey (1:44:20): Surprisingly, geologists were not consulted about
Unknown Speaker (1:44:23): And this
Whitey (1:44:25): then last but not least, 2,007 sunshine, Danny Boyle sunshine. Starts with a scientifically plausible premise, which is the sun is gonna flame out. They've got to go and restart it. The third act just completely abandoned it in favor of a supernatural villain. Scientists who'd been technically technical consultants on the film reportedly weren't happy.
Unknown Speaker (1:44:50): It started off one way and then he goes, you know what? Let's go. Let's take it.
Unknown Speaker (1:44:53): Oh my god.
Whitey (1:44:54): Let's take the right fork. Yeah. And fork it. So there we go. So there's science done right and science done poorly.
Unknown Speaker (1:45:00): This feels this sort of fits into the No.
Unknown Speaker (1:45:03): It feels right. It
Unknown Speaker (1:45:04): feels like it's plausible. Yeah. Yeah. It feels real. It feels like it could happen.
Unknown Speaker (1:45:09): There we go. F school for fuckwits. Or film school for f
Unknown Speaker (1:45:17): wits. You are well done.
Unknown Speaker (1:45:19): F school for fuckwits.
Unknown Speaker (1:45:22): Stop. You do it.
Unknown Speaker (1:45:23): Yeah. That's it. That's what it's called and I do.
Unknown Speaker (1:45:25): You don't make a shirt.
Unknown Speaker (1:45:26): No. F school for fuckwits. Kick ass credits song. It's staying unfortunately, staying with me. This a tough song.
Whitey (1:45:48): This was a very, very, very tough song.
Unknown Speaker (1:45:50): Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:45:54): It's called the odd couple. And to be perfectly honest, it's it's rubbish. Okay. But here we go.
Unknown Speaker (1:46:03): Here we go.
Whitey (1:46:05): I don't know how the tune goes.
Unknown Speaker (1:46:08): There's not many artists to get out there on the stage and go. I've written a song.
Unknown Speaker (1:46:11): Yeah. It's rubbish. Yeah. Never.
Whitey (1:46:13): This is what Motley Crue should have said any any concert they've done for the last ten years.
Unknown Speaker (1:46:17): Guys Ain't guns and rice.
Unknown Speaker (1:46:18): The music's gonna be good, but it's rubbish.
Will (1:46:20): Meatloaf. It's a bloody 1999.
Whitey (1:46:24): Yeah. I can't fucked that. Okay. Here we go. It's called the odd couple.
Unknown Speaker (1:46:29): Here we go. Rylan Grace up in space. He's got a shitty beard on his face on the hail Mary all alone. This isn't ET. He can't phone home.
Whitey (1:46:41): Rocky and Grace are the space odd couple saving two planets on the double. In space, it's space first bromance of its kind. You don't shed a tear. You must be blind. The sun is dimming and slowly dying.
Unknown Speaker (1:46:55): Teenage girls by the pool won't be frying. Astrophage, he comes in lumps. He meets up with rock who fists his bumps. Rocky and Grace, first face bromance. Even if one don't wear pants, saving earth and era two, the filthy rock eats from where he poos.
Unknown Speaker (1:47:14): Astrophage, it comes in lumps. He meets up with Rock who fists his bobs. Rocky and Grace are the space odd couple, saving two planets on the double. It's space bromance, first of its kind. If you don't shed a tea, you must be blind.
Unknown Speaker (1:47:32): Well, I love the opening space face
Unknown Speaker (1:47:35): Hacker was that? Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:47:36): You roam space with space,
Unknown Speaker (1:47:38): I think.
Unknown Speaker (1:47:38): It was incredible. No.
Unknown Speaker (1:47:39): I roam grace with space and face.
Unknown Speaker (1:47:42): Yeah. And then there's a few space spaces. Yeah. A lot of spaces. It was good.
Whitey (1:47:45): Well, it's in space, mate. Yeah. It is. If if the science fits, it works.
Will (1:47:50): How did you not chuck in gravity and levity?
Unknown Speaker (1:47:54): Yeah. Look. Will, I didn't. Yeah. I had a hard enough time getting that out.
Unknown Speaker (1:47:59): I was I
Unknown Speaker (1:48:00): was just, you know Yeah.
Whitey (1:48:03): Well, I could do gravity or depravity. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:48:06): You could.
Unknown Speaker (1:48:06): Betrova, bend over.
Unknown Speaker (1:48:08): Oh, there we go. Let's we'll write another one. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:48:12): Come on. We gotta workshop these things sometimes,
Unknown Speaker (1:48:15): aren't we? Mate, I think we we could be it could these songs could be better collaboratively. There's no doubt.
Unknown Speaker (1:48:20): Yeah. But we we can't
Unknown Speaker (1:48:21): We don't have the time. That. Don't have the time.
Unknown Speaker (1:48:26): Star of the show, Will.
Unknown Speaker (1:48:30): Oh, it was bloody Ryan Gosling.
Unknown Speaker (1:48:33): Gosling.
Unknown Speaker (1:48:33): Yeah. Oh,
Unknown Speaker (1:48:34): yeah. Goose Gosling one.
Whitey (1:48:35): Yeah. Gosling one. Well done. Like that. Here we go.
Whitey (1:48:38): Now the rank bank, gentlemen. I've got this was not easy either. I've got bubble boys. Yeah. Like the rocks like the bubble boy.
Unknown Speaker (1:48:46): Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Was the Moors.
Whitey (1:48:49): It was the Moors. Puppet shows, and I've got fist my bumps.
Unknown Speaker (1:48:56): Oh, it
Unknown Speaker (1:48:56): could be patrol lines.
Unknown Speaker (1:48:57): Could be patrol lines. That's the phages.
Unknown Speaker (1:48:59): Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:49:01): Gives it's too it's too obvious.
Unknown Speaker (1:49:03): Yeah. Well, I'll go fist my bumps in. Will, anything?
Unknown Speaker (1:49:06): Just trying to think of anything. Personalities. Burning bushes.
Unknown Speaker (1:49:14): Burning bush. No. It's it's
Unknown Speaker (1:49:15): What about words of encouragement? Words of encouragement.
Unknown Speaker (1:49:18): Oh, that's First first time. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:49:36): Just like that, we're back.
Unknown Speaker (1:49:38): We're movie.
Unknown Speaker (1:49:38): Now we'll go with the guest, Wilbur. Yeah. Guest. Well, look.
Unknown Speaker (1:49:44): Idea is a bit harsh.
Unknown Speaker (1:49:45): No. Actually, you're not a guessing. Well, you've gone past that. Okay. We're gonna go with
Unknown Speaker (1:49:49): You do, what do I gotta do around here?
Unknown Speaker (1:49:51): We're gonna go with the Greek.
Unknown Speaker (1:49:51): Well, then again, remember Amanda or Heather Lockley in I think you say the
Unknown Speaker (1:49:56): first place Special guest star.
Unknown Speaker (1:49:58): Still, even though she was in it for years, was always special guest star. Really? In the credits.
Unknown Speaker (1:50:02): Yeah. Heather Lockley.
Unknown Speaker (1:50:03): Yeah. And she's way better looking than you. You might have bigger boobs than her though.
Unknown Speaker (1:50:08): I I think what? Yeah. Yeah. Compare, I suppose.
Whitey (1:50:11): Alright. Will the Workie, how many words of encouragement are you giving project hail Mary?
Will (1:50:16): I enjoyed it. This was entertainment. Yep. This is why I watch movies. I don't wanna be faced with anything too heavy.
Unknown Speaker (1:50:23): I just want entertainment. This was it. I'm gonna give it four point three seven. Oh.
Unknown Speaker (1:50:27): Four point three seven. Okay. Wow. That's super high.
Unknown Speaker (1:50:32): Yeah. Like that. Four point one, but it's Yeah. Yeah. Four I mean, not quite four four and a half, but yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:50:37): Okay. I like it. I like it. Dima, how many words of encouragement are you giving Project Hail Mary? It's a good movie.
Damo (1:50:48): It's it's it's compared to the last five years, it is definitely one of the best movies, but still, I'll give it a three seven five.
Whitey (1:50:57): 3.75. Can't crack the fours.
Unknown Speaker (1:51:00): No. Yeah. It's still it's I mean, it's a it's a good show, but it's at seven and half out of 10.
Unknown Speaker (1:51:05): Still pretty good. Still good. Yeah. It is. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:51:06): It's pretty good. Yeah. Fuck. You're like right Roland Grace. I quickly did that math.
Unknown Speaker (1:51:12): Yeah. That's right.
Unknown Speaker (1:51:12): It's got a beautiful mind. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:51:14): It does actually does. Absolutely does. Okay. I'm why is that okay. That's cool.
Whitey (1:51:23): Yeah. My I'm 4.25.
Unknown Speaker (1:51:25): Yeah. What?
Whitey (1:51:27): I when I saw it at the movies, I I gave this 4.5. Woah. Yeah. I really, really loved it at the movies. It lost me a little.
Whitey (1:51:36): I think I was the cinema experience added so much to it. Yeah. I think I found it drag a bit watching it on the TV. Just a bit. And I think that that twenty minutes that could be sharpened, it loses point two five on repeated viewing.
Whitey (1:51:52): 4.25. It's a great movie. I'll definitely watch it again. It's it's I think the Martian's better. The the Martian is more rewatchable.
Whitey (1:52:01): There's more action in the Martian.
Unknown Speaker (1:52:03): Yeah. Yeah.
Whitey (1:52:04): But this is a good movie, and this is far and away the best movie this year. Like Yeah. Nothing comes remotely close. Nothing comes remotely close. Now that makes project Hail Mary 4.12 words of encouragement, and that's six.
Unknown Speaker (1:52:25): Pretty high.
Whitey (1:52:27): Yeah. At number 70. It is 4.12. It is tied with 4.12.
Unknown Speaker (1:52:36): What? There's another 4.12?
Whitey (1:52:37): Yeah. Shop lifted poodies. Oh, Jerry Maguire. And it's another movie that Will was on.
Unknown Speaker (1:52:42): Shop lifted poodie.
Whitey (1:52:43): Yeah. Right. Another movie Will was on. That's why. And it is just below 4.13 drop heads.
Unknown Speaker (1:52:53): Oh, was that I mean, you did this.
Unknown Speaker (1:52:56): Drop heads was the drug.
Whitey (1:52:58): I can't remember. Batman. The Batman. Oh, it was the Batman. Yes.
Whitey (1:53:02): And 4.13, Wolfies. Wolfies? Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:53:07): Wolfies. Terminator two?
Unknown Speaker (1:53:09): Yeah. Well done.
Unknown Speaker (1:53:10): Good one. How's Wolfie? Yay.
Unknown Speaker (1:53:12): How's Wolfie going?
Whitey (1:53:13): Yeah. It sits. Currently, it sits in equal sixty fourth position. Close.
Unknown Speaker (1:53:22): Close. Yeah.
Whitey (1:53:23): Yeah. Equal sixty fourth position on the rank bank. I think we got it right. Yeah. I think it's a very good movie.
Unknown Speaker (1:53:29): Yep. I don't think it's top top tee. Yeah. But that it's it's in the top third of what pretty viewed It'd
Unknown Speaker (1:53:36): be pretty below Dan's station, wouldn't it?
Unknown Speaker (1:53:39): Ah, he's lower himself
Unknown Speaker (1:53:40): for this
Whitey (1:53:40): I said, no. I think he would watch this. Yeah. I I think Dan likes Dan loves a sci fi as long as it's smart.
Unknown Speaker (1:53:48): Yeah. Okay.
Whitey (1:53:49): So I think what he does I think he'd like this movie.
Unknown Speaker (1:53:52): He'd probably get a bit
Whitey (1:53:54): It's probably a bit long for him, though.
Damo (1:53:55): But also the little cutesy little alien rock thing not quite It might not be up his
Whitey (1:53:59): it might not be up his alley that side of it, but I think the actual the movie science behind it and the and the the story is is probably up his alley. Anyway, well done gents. Wilbur, you've crushed it again. Thanks, mate. You've committed to any given Sunday.
Unknown Speaker (1:54:14): Well done. So I'll let you know when that's that's on. Alright. Next week sometime. Mhmm.
Unknown Speaker (1:54:19): And then we're You're having a week off? I tell you we've a huge run
Unknown Speaker (1:54:22): for the next It's big Wednesday after that.
Unknown Speaker (1:54:24): Is it? Is it big Wednesday after that? I think it is Ben's big Wednesday after that. No. It's not.
Unknown Speaker (1:54:29): That is Matt Johnson. It is not big Wednesday. It's the crow. Oh. It's the crow
Unknown Speaker (1:54:35): and me.
Unknown Speaker (1:54:36): And Eric Draven?
Unknown Speaker (1:54:37): What's he saying?
Unknown Speaker (1:54:37): Eric Draven. Eric Draven.
Whitey (1:54:39): And Strangles is going to be joining us for the crow, and Strangles is going to be doing the kick ass credit song.
Unknown Speaker (1:54:47): Wow. Because This is some real sort of, you know, something to look forward to.
Whitey (1:54:51): Well, we do know that Strangles did the Born to Watch theme song.
Damo (1:54:55): So this is not next week, the week after. Yep.
Whitey (1:54:57): Yep. So it's two weeks time is the cry Is it just
Unknown Speaker (1:54:59): me, him, and you?
Whitey (1:55:00): It's me, you, Gao. Gao. And Strangles. Wow. So we're gonna bring him in from from New Zealand.
Unknown Speaker (1:55:06): Geez. Wow.
Whitey (1:55:07): We're gonna slum it. Yeah. And then the week after is all four of us. Me, you, Damo, Gal. Yep.
Whitey (1:55:14): Big Wednesday. Big Wednesday.
Unknown Speaker (1:55:16): Oh, Gary Busey.
Unknown Speaker (1:55:17): Well, they were the masochist. Yep.
Unknown Speaker (1:55:19): Yep. The greatest American hero.
Unknown Speaker (1:55:21): Yeah. William Cat.
Unknown Speaker (1:55:22): William Cat. Yeah. It's a good movie.
Damo (1:55:23): Played by pig town then surfing.
Whitey (1:55:25): Yeah. It haven't seen big Wednesday. 30. Sorry. I'd say more for me.
