You know, I'm going to stop that right now. So welcome to GeekScape. We're going to be talking All Geek. We've got Brian Gilmore over here. Here, give me a high five. That's the gills. We've got funnels behind the camera. Fish and gills. We're here on the GeekScape couch. And we're going to be talking about Eastern Promises. This new movie by, who directed this? Cronenberg. Cronenberg directed this. It's got... Why don't you guys just tell us who's in it? We've got Vigo Mortensen. Mm-hmm. They only watch. They only watch. And people I don't know. And a bunch of old guys. No. There's other people I know of whose names. The guy who plays the French guy from the Oceans movies. The Oceans Love movies. And he's also in Brotherhood of the Wolf. I love that. Oh, okay. That actor is great. No, it's a bunch of people. I didn't really like Brotherhood of the Wolf. I hate it, brother. Really? I like that movie. I tried liking it. I watched it. I'm like, what the fuck is it? Not good. It was nowhere near... You didn't like the Spine Sword? Nah. I'm going to have to defend Brotherhood of the Wolf. Because you know, where else are you going to find a period piece monster movie, Kung Fu, like with an Indian, no less? Yeah. And should you? I think you should. Yeah. I like to too. No, I'm glad it was made. I think it had some cool stylists, except to it. I like the Bone Sword. It was cool. But I felt like they put a lot of emphasis on really boring parts of the story. And you sat through that stuff way too much. I liked it. But you know, I couldn't have liked it that much. I don't know how it went again. So this movie... I loved it. So getting back to Eastern Promises, this movie is about... It starts off with an assassination. From there you have this underage girl going into labor. And she dies on the giving labor. And she leaves a diary that Naomi Watts finds, who she works in the hospital. And the diary starts leaning her into the Russian underworld in London. Things go from bad to worse. And we'll leave the ending and the suspense up to you guys. Yeah, I was kind of spoiled enough. But that all happens within the first five minutes of the movie. That all happened to me last week. So what did you guys think of the film? I fucking loved it. I thought it was amazing. It's up there. Top 10, top 20, mob movies. Pretty much ever. I just thought the performance is... Do you watch a lot of mob movies? No. But I've seen the big ones. So I've seen the big ones. The big ones. The 20 that you've seen. This is one of those 20. This is one of them. I thought it was amazing. Vigo just fucking sold it. Yeah. I just fucking loved it. Out of the five that I've seen, this was just my top 20. Did you like it? I loved it. I loved it. The thing is Vigo's performance was pretty amazing. I didn't feel like he was going to whip out a sword and kill a hobbit or anything. Now he plays a driver for this Russian underworld. And you see a little bit of the extension into this crime world that he's a part of. I like the movie a lot. I think that towards the end, and I'm not going to spoil it for you. I wasn't happy about the way that things just kind of fell together within the last 10 minutes. I'm there too. A little bit. Yeah, I agree with it. It was a little bit too clean. Exactly. And I left me wanting more of a certain character and, you know, sure it ended where it needs to end. But I wanted more of the mob stuff. It's like you had a really intricately put together film with a really careful plot and character work. And at the end of it, they had to put a really nice bow on it just so you could go home. I would have sat through another hour of it if it would have wrapped things up a little more complicated. Yeah, yeah. No, I'm not kidding with that. Doesn't Cronenberg do that to most of his films? Yeah. I like Cronenberg's films that don't have weird, like vagina things in there. It does look good for the person. I personally like naked lunches. I don't like naked lunches because there's talking enuses. That's fun. That's why I usually like my music. Now have you seen this? Now have you seen this, Eric? The talking anus? Yeah. Oh, you're naked once? Oh, yeah. Yeah. He's probably around Ace Ventura's time. Yeah, I've seen some talking anuses. Yeah, maybe. Is that something you've countered? You guys making anus humor with little anuses? Um... I don't know. I don't know. You guys, where else am I going to get a chance to ask these questions? You're like a savage trying to win the television with people. You're right. Yeah. That was good. Why do these people salt in the box? I demand you release them. What the fuck? Ew. I love you, buddy. That was really funny. We might have to fact tag that one. Yeah. I've seen some weird shit. Really? Yeah. Yeah. You have to expand on that. No, I don't. I mean, come on. I gotta ask these questions. You can ask. This is one of your audience wants to know. And if I've seen talking anuses? If at any time I make you as uncomfortable as I am now. Uh... I can't, I can't. If at any time you don't want to answer questions, guys, that's okay. No, no. We've seen ceiling balls, man. You gotta explain that. Oh, we did see that. We went to the Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco last week, which is like the leather community's big event. And he doesn't mean like people who like are boots and chappens. No. I mean S&M, B&D, yeah, the leather. Is it anything like Renaissance Fair? Actually kind of. Just how my audience get there. Yeah. It's like Renaissance Fair in the sense that there's a lot of, you know, not old guys with boners on the street naked, completely naked. Hairy asses. Oh, God. So many hairy asses. You know, leather straps across your chest and nothing else. Yeah. It was... Is there a fish net? A fish net? Now, Hong, you are an outsider to this world. How did you feel? Where are you going undercover? He's a non-participant. You're a non-participant. How did you feel? I was a non-participant. I'm not like leathered at it. I'm just gay. I mean, I'm not... I was a tourist as much as anyone else. You were on weekends. You blew my mind in San Diego when we met for the first time. We met for the first time in San Diego. We were talking some Maronci stuff. Yeah. But it's all talk with me. Really? Yeah, I don't beat people into me that shit. You don't want? Shit. Your exes might be watching. Yeah, they better be. God. So, what was the saline balls? Okay. Let's talk that. Let's talk the nitty gritty. Yeah. Apparently, a lot of these people like to inject saline into their balls so that they blow up to like... Right into this... What?! Yeah. Yeah. Right into the scrotal sack. Right into the scrotal sack. Now, to bring this back, Eastern Promises has some scenes of torturing a sassy machine which are hard to stomach. But that is worse. You may never make it to cinema, ever. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Does it go into the scrotum sack or like into the test? You inject the scrotum sack. Well, I've never done it and I didn't say so. No, wait, wait, wait, wait. You said you saw it. I saw them like it's... It looks like water balloons. It looks like water balloons, yes. So, it's like guys walking around with these fucking grapefruit? What it actually reminds me of them? Is that attractive? No. Are drawing balls of track? No. No. What is the effect you look like? Unless we have the breakfast club? Yeah. Would you go... Would you go out and date with this guy even if his balls have to sit? It's like elephant tires. It's totally like elephant tires. It's totally gross. That's gross. Someone must like... That's not the grossest thing that I saw. Go on. Go on. Continue, please. It was my... That was my breaking point was when we're sitting down the street. We've been there for a few hours at this point. Cody, the human urinal. What? Yeah. Naked, totally. The guy named Cody, the human urinal. Yes. But not a friend of yours. No. Okay. Okay. Okay. I'm sorry. Yeah. I thought we were all friends in this community. Whatever. Um. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Watching someone get peed on in the street for fun. Oh, you texted me. I did. I texted everybody. I was like... I just saw somebody get peed on in the street. When they text back. You were like, "Drink it." Which was funny because all the people around him were like, "Drink it. Drink it." But that wasn't... Yeah. Does Cody do that? Does Cody drink? Ten people... I think he did. I... Probably. Ten people peed on him. Ten people, male and female peed on him in the street. How many minutes are we into this episode, Ben, that we're already talking about saline balls and human urinal. Human urinal. We haven't talked... We talked about the movies. I mean, we kind of talked about the movie. We can't really talk about it too much without really... No, you'll... I gotta say, one of the big things that you hear about this movie is the naked fight scene in the... Yeah, the total badass fight scene. It's a great fight scene. I gotta say, with the first minute of the fight scene, the fight scene just starts going. The lights come up in the theater and there's a fire alarm. Oh, really? Yeah, we gotta evacuate right as the fight scene. That sucks. We came back... It's as good as the... I couldn't really tell the Borat. The Borat fight scene is different. The Borat fight scene's collapsed. This one is hardcore. There's more to live. Yeah, but this one's brutal and it's floppy. Yeah, we're very floppy. He didn't want to do it, Nate. I mean, the studio or the director didn't want him to be naked. They're like, "Can you have the towel on the entire time?" Does it make sense? No, I think Crennenberg probably. It was a studio and they were like, "Well, we don't want that." 'Cause, you know, guys get all kind of gay panicky. You know, and... You were going to have had a dick bleeding. Right, yeah. But this was like as close to a studio movie as Crennenberg does pretty much. Right. And they didn't want him to do it. And finally Vigo was like, "This is retarded." Like, it's gonna come off. Like, this doesn't, you know, and I'm glad that he did that. Not because I want to see Vigo's dick really, but... He's a shower, not a grower. Yeah. Otherwise, we all have something... Not to say that I fixated on Vigo's penis. It was kind of dark. It was like a darky, you know, it was like a hostess cake. No, no, no. Do you notice that a lot? Like, like, penis is not matching the same... Yes. So a lot, there's a lot of discoloration. Do you think it's because, you know, just wearing pants all day? How about causes that? Was all under a paler? Are they paler? No, they're darker. It's like God wanted to make a surprise downstairs, you know? Like, okay. Yeah. That happens a lot. Where's this episode going? No, are you... I think my color matches. Really? We're not going to do a test. I think that's the darker people. My shit night and day. Your shit's night and day? Night and day. It's like purple. Oh, God. Damn it. Only when it came out. I wouldn't go as far as night and day from me, but... It's like the colorful downstairs. Wow. Oh, my God. That's good. That's good. Ben has been forced to take the headphones. We're so just getting started. Oh. And we're rocking. Let me say... Yeah. Go ahead. Go ahead, Brian. Um, fuck in. All right. So, I really really like the movie because I think it really gives you a great sense of David Cronenberg's directing style. Yeah. Like, the whole time really, really seems really Cronenberg. And what I like about him is that you have characters in his movies that you actually feel are in danger. Yeah. Totally. There's so much, actually, like, fucked up shit that happens in his movies. Yeah. And, you know, even in this movie, there's a few scenes here and there you're like, "Oh, my God." Certain person might actually kill. When people are walking around, you're not like, "Oh, this is the main character. Nothing's going to happen." Or, "Oh, this is, you know, so-and-so. Nothing's going to happen." You're on the edge of your seat the entire time. Totally. Because he definitely takes his character seriously and he takes the world in which they live in series. Absolutely. And this movie so colors that in a way that is just brilliant. And it's night and day from other directors. Yeah. And if you were to see penises, and if you were to see, like, just a few Cronenberg movies, I say this, make this one up. Absolutely. And I like history of violence. History of violence is great. He likes it better. I'm not sure. I love this video drum. I haven't seen that in, like, 15 years. Yeah. I think what he does that I watched last night in the movie and he does it early in the film is he really isolates the characters from each other in each other's shots. Yeah. And they're all kind of in different worlds. And as the mysteries in this diary start to unfold and as she starts to become more entangled in this underworld, you start to see that the characters start to involve themselves in each other's spaces. Yeah. And you see more dead-on shots between characters. There's an early breakfast scene that you see between Naomi Watts' her uncle and her mom. Mm-hmm. And they're all in singles, you know, and they're all separate. There's maybe one establishing shot or something like that. Later on in the movie, as things start to get more intense, you see not just them in shots together or, you know, crowded with shoulders and this and that. But you start to see shots. Where am I going with this? You start to see shots that are dead-on, but not dead-on from a perspective in an intense perspective and maybe with a little bit of a movement or a little bit of a tilt. That starts to add a little bit more tension for the audience. And I think that's what Brian's talking about. First, you know, what Cronenberg is really good at, and I think those early movies where he was doing a lot of bizarre stuff like video drama, where he's training ground for this. And now, you know, he can do it in a studio system, is in the early part of the movie, he's really good at taking you visually by the hand and giving you this safety. You know, nobody's really mixing with each other too much anymore. Right. And then before you know it, the language, like the visual language tells you there's tension here, there's danger, and anybody can go at any time. Yeah, it's like watching a convicted killer for launch surgery. Well, to bring it back to the fight scene, the most brutal thing I've ever seen. Seriously? You can't say that. Well, not the most brutal thing in terms of, like, as far as grit. I'm going to let it go. You know, he's, you know, seen a lot of poundings. But, you know, as far as grit and sweat and just, it just was just an all-out. You can show it to your parents. How do you think you're made? Yeah, I know. Pounding. Yeah. That one last crescendo shot and that sequence where you climb over the wall with him. Yeah. It's a fantastic movie. Visually, I think the writing was good up until the very ending. But it really backs up that this guy is, I mean, there's a reason this guy's had a 20 plus year career. Yeah, absolutely. He's old school. Yeah. Yeah. Speaking of old school, as we segue into the news, the remaking escape from New York. Oh, but the big boo. You know, I haven't told you this yet. Here's the big boo. The big boo. You thought that the director of "Underworld" in "Die Hard 4" was going to do it. Len Weisman. Now the world on the street is that our good friend Brett Ratner is doing it. Make it stop. John. Make it stop. You know, please. It's like we need to form a coalition to stop him from screwing up franchises. Well, you know who's good for Snake now, I guess? Chris Tucker. Let's do that. Yeah. Let's have Jackie Chan is Snake. You know, we're making that a joke, but that could easily happen. Either of those guys can talk. Well, you know, Jake Chan is talking with his fists. I know the whole movie in Bridge School. Yeah. That's the news. Is that the news you were going to tell me about? No. Oh, yeah. That was Brett Ratner. Yeah. That's the worst. Brett Ratner attached to anything is just the sign. I mean, you can get a director to throw money at something and he gets it to work and he makes your week, your opening weekend and that's what you hired him to do and the studio suits are happy. Does he ask me? Or you can take a director like, who's actually, like I just told you, like putting the pieces together, the visuals and the writing and the acting and putting all these pieces together. I once had a film teacher say, listen, it's not rocket science. It's harder because rocket science has a fictional formula. Right. You know, you're going to get a certain result because you put in a certain amount of numbers or this or that into your variables and it's a formula. There's no formula for this. You know. As if you're Brett Ratner. No. But the way Hollywood set up, it's always Hollywood set up. You make your, you set your date first and then you make them. Yeah. I was a writer for this, this transformers too. They already had their date. They have to meet it now. But they have to now start writing it and it's like, guys. This is why Matthew Vaughn left X-Men 3. He was like, we need to change the date. There's not enough time. Like, no, no, no, the date's the most important thing. And he's like, no, it's not. We can move it. But the studio is right. They made that movie made. Yeah. No. I mean, Fox. And it was like watching Shakespeare. It was the topic of God. I hate that movie. Yeah. Fox as a studio, they're really smart, money wise, but they really, really don't care about creative, the creative side of things. You can tell that they're between Brian Singer and Brett Ratner. Absolutely. In the very beginning of the first X-Men movie. Yeah. Where you start with those shots and they build that sequence with the young Magneto. Yeah. You know? And there's nothing that had that much care in that last film. No, absolutely. You know? And it's just pieces. Yeah. The characters come in and come out, and Archangel was there for, Angel was there for, you know, five seconds. To save someone you didn't care about. I have a whole story that I couldn't have been thrown out. Completely. It's almost out. I mean, this is funny coincidence because on the drive over here, I was going on about how much I hated this movie and Brett Ratner should I. It's true. Do you really want them dead, Hong? I think so. At this point, yeah. Okay. I agree. There's things like that. You really want them dead? Yeah. I want Mark Steven Johnson dead as well. Mark Steven Johnson. Well, just to save Preacher. I want the dead. I want the dead. I want the dead. Specifically to save Preacher because these are people that unless you complete, or lobotomy, unless you completely incapacitate them, they're delusional no more enough to think, I can say that word, delusional. They're delusional enough to think that, okay, I'm going to bring something to this frame. Or I get it. I get it. Oh, wait. I'm going to do it. You know? Just because you're a fan doesn't mean that you should. Do you think Riot Knight, when nobody's looking? Oh, yeah. And they congratulate themselves right before they go to sleep. But go to sleep with a smile. No, I think- That's what pisses me off. No. And why shouldn't they? They just made a fortune for themselves and the studio. Yeah. They're missing on something I love. Yeah. Yeah. I think Brett and I are probably urinates on a puppy every night. Yeah. I think Zack Snyder is good. I like Zack Snyder. I think he's good. He's able to make these movies and have a little bit of language in them. Yeah. Yeah. I'm excited to see what he does as well. Oh, totally excited about that. I thought Brett didn't like 300. I thought it was a bit redundant. I hated it. Yeah, we know. You know, he hated it and wishes he died. Now, anybody else? You guys want dead? Dead. Before we continue with news? Oh, God. I don't know. Maybe not like physically like- Not like really dead. They're traumatized. They're family. But just you want them to not do what they're doing. No, Gibson can go ahead. Whoa. No, I think what we're- I don't think you can actually make death threats on a podcast. So I'm just going to say that we're joking. Wait, we're totally joking. Yeah, we're totally joking. Just saying who we don't want to do what they don't want to do. Yeah. We don't want them to do. Yeah. When we say die, we just mean go away. Not by our hands. Not by our hands. If Brett rather choked on a water cookie dough? I probably wouldn't cry. So, so. So we got another bit of news. This one had me excited. I was on Geekscape forums. I had Geekscape.net/ forums. And I read this. We have a- you know Joshua Pector who's doing- he's like moderating our forums. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Josh P. He always posts a lot of the news. And he posts a story. I think it was him posting a story. And all it said was Serenity 2. And I was like, can I get a fuck yes? And I clicked on the thing. And really what it was was Alan Tuttick. Right. Tuttick. Talking about the DVD sales and having the second collector's edition release of Serenity. He's doing very well. And I'm like, hey man, the first one did well. Here's another one. Now, I think that there's not going to be a Serenity 2. If there- I don't think so in theaters. We would love it. But- Wait, wait, wait. I think that it's possible for it's right to DVD. Because I know that for fact the Serenity DVDs sell really, really well. Of course, they had the second one. Yeah, they had the second one. And they still can't keep them on the shelves. And I think they're kind of realizing this isn't a theatrical franchise. This is something that will do well for DVD. And unlike most straight to DVD sequels, you know Josh Wheaton can get that entire cast, you know, back to do it. They'll do it. What if NBC Universal, who handles it, what if they put out a six-episode thing for NBC? What if they did a- Yeah. Fox still hates television. To Serenity, but not- To Firefly. I'm sorry, to Firefly. But they can do a Serenity- I don't know the legalities. Yeah, they can't call anything Firefly. But they can't- No, same thing. Yeah, Joss owns a character so he can do a show called Serenity if he wants to. Mm-hmm. Yeah, that'd be really neat. I mean, I'm trying not to get my help set. Or maybe DVD movies? Seriously. Whatever. Anything animated, I'll take it. Comics. It seems like he's burned out on the TV system right now. He's really burned out on the TV system. I saw him at Fox here today, actually. I told you. Yeah, I saw him walk around. Really? You were like, did you go up to him? I was like, no, he looked like he was busy. He was there. One of these things that- Well, I mean, I'm glad I saw him on a lot in that lot of any. You know what I mean? Yeah. But I think it would be a bad move for him to go by. Like, how would you feel about him letting someone else handle that universe in like a DVD? What if he wrote it? Oh, if he wrote it? No, no. If someone involved because, I mean, he didn't write every Buffy, he didn't write every Angel. He didn't write any- every Firefly either. So, as long as he's involved and fine. As I can't- I just can't see him- Yeah, I just can't see him doing another Serenity. I can't see him going back to that universe unless he's established himself with something else first. I don't know. He really loved- That's his baby of everything. I really love it too. No. We all love it, Josh. I think what you're getting is we all love it. Josh. Our good friend, Josh. We were just talking about Josh Pachter. We were talking about Josh Pachter and Josh Whedon. So, say that sometimes fast. I think he would totally go back in a heartbeat. Do you know? I pretend that I do. I'm kidding. Do you guys have any news? You guys saw that got you peaked as a geek? Jessica Beal. Jessica Beal. No. Now, you wanted to play Wonder Woman. Since I was a kid, I've been playing Wonder Woman in my head since I was four. How do you feel about Jessica Beal? She's not doing it. I know, but were you- would she be good? I would say no. I would say no. I would say absolutely no. I would say no. You want to know? Oh, totally. You're totally. Yes. Miranda Bakarren. Would Josh be writing it and directing it? I was on the fucking board. That's what would have happened. Is Wonder Woman- No, is Wonder Woman a film-friendly franchise? Like, I understand as a part of the JLA. Is that it? I don't think Wonder Brothers thinks so at all. What's it about? What's Wonder Woman about? Just, I mean, thematically? I mean- I think that the strength of these comic book movies, I think the reason that they are a genre and not a fad or a trend is that they have social themes. Wonder Woman is the most political- It's feminist. It's about, you know, the strength of women. And, you know, being a straight guy, I'm sounding weird saying this stuff. That's not going to get people into theaters, though. No. Well, you know, if you write anything well, you know, if people are going to watch it, look at- No, you're right. The "Bine and Woman" ratings were through the fucking roof. And that show couldn't be worse. And I kind of like this sort of- It's okay. I don't see it. She's cute. I think she's cute. But, no, you're right. Yeah, so- It's going to be a tough sell. Wonder Woman would be a tough sell. But I think if anyone was going to be able to do it, it would have been Joss Whedon. And I know that the reason that it didn't happen wasn't that they didn't like what he was doing. I just think that there's serious, like, sexism on the studio's part. They're just like, "It's a female action movie. We don't know how to sell it. We're just not going to do it." Yeah, because "Terminator" wasn't good. Well, no. In fact, the president of- This is sort of news. The president- The president- The president of Warner Brothers just came out this week and said, "We're not going to do any more female-led action-y movies as a studio anymore." Because the brave one that Jody Foster, like, "I'm an angry lesbian," whatever, movie. I know, but it didn't make any money. And they were saying, "We're not going to do it anymore." They literally said- It's terrible. I know. It looked like- What's this movie about? Is it about a wrestling movie? Lifetime TV movie. Yeah, it felt lifetimey. I think you have a marquee, like, Wonder Woman. She's an iconic character. You're getting- You're getting the kids there. She's an iconic character. If your mom knows who Wonder Woman is- Yeah. If she stands at the test of time, everybody knows who Wonder Woman is. What's your appeal to Wonder Woman? God, I know. Every gay comic book fan loves Wonder Woman. Now why is that? Because the gay community loves horror movies, and they love Wonder Woman. And what's this about? Well, with Wonder Woman, I think God's complicated, but, you know, she is the most political of all the superheroes, of the classic superheroes. You know, you have Spider-Man's the best. That man's the coolest. The Superman's the purest Wonder Woman's the most political in the sense that she was created specifically for the agenda of, we're going to promote equality in this medium. And so, first it wasn't gay stuff at all. It was just, you know, feminism. But now- And lots and lots of bondage. And lots of bondage, yeah. But, not so much anymore. But, you know, 40's Wonder Woman comics, if you ever pick up a trade- She's getting spanked. Yeah. Yeah, they're crazy. Because the guy who created her was kind of- He's kind of a loom. He created the lie detector also. So, if you made a movie today, and you say that there's this fictitious island, right? Yeah. But it's real in this world. And she works with, like, other nations in the U.N. and it starts to sound a little boring. Well, I wouldn't get into the U.N. and all that at all. Yeah. That's how she is. She's like, she's the person who's, like, talking to the outside world of man. Well, she also fights, like, you know, great gods and stuff. And monsters and monsters. Maybe go there. You totally. That's where you go. Maybe make a little Zusi, or a little Thori. Absolutely. She fights your areas, right? Yeah. She fights your areas, you know. Thori. I tried Thor and Scrabble. It didn't fucking work. Really? Yeah. It's because it's a name. Yeah. Yeah. I tried Salem. Really? Can we talk? Have you guys been doing this? We've been doing this. Scrabble on Facebook. There's Scrabble on Facebook. Oh, really? I didn't know that. And I started playing because of Brian's recommendation and I'm starting to learn how to play Scrabble. Me too. I'm just learning how to play Scrabble. I'm getting better. Yeah. But it's so much fun. Yeah. Ben's good. Yeah, Ben's good. I'm going to play with your mom. I love being with your mom. I'm playing a girl I used to TA. A girl I used to TA. I'm playing her and she's awesome. She's really good at it. What do you want? And she's like, yeah, this is a game I used to play with my mom. And I'm like, my mom hated me. I'm sorry, my mom. Well, my mom didn't speak English, so Scrabble is out of question. Well, you guys had... Scrabble? No, no, no, no. I'm teaching someone to you. You guys had my mom. Dude, we played the hell out of my job. There you go. There you go. Me and my brothers and sisters. Until a bunch of people broke into the fucking dub parlor and started shooting people. I know. We were feeding OPM to the white man and their mom. Their mom. Their mom. Feet bound? No. No. No. No. Because I'm thinking that that's what makes them bad drivers later in life. It's something. It's something. Seriously? My dad, right? You know, a driving guy. Hey, would you tap that? I'm not going to answer this on camera. So there we go. There we go. I have to. My dad moved my family to an Asian community. All Asian people. He called me up one day and said, "Can you pick me up and take me to the grocery store?" I'm like, "Dad, you drive." He's like, "I can't drive around here to all these fucking Asian people." Oh, wow. No. No. What I noticed, Hong, we have to address this. Up until the age of 30, Asian kids drive like fast and furious. Once they hit a certain age, 30, 40, they can't drive it all. What is that? They keep forgetting how to use a break. No, what is that? Why do they drive super aggressively and fast? Well, it's because our culture eats what sticks. We never evolved past eating what sticks. So it's that primal, you know, primate mentality of, you know, first living really fast and dangerous and then slowing down and eating what sticks. Now, as a delegate for the Asian community and geekscape, I must thank you for clearing that up. To move on with Klanscape. Can we get to the next bit of news? Yeah. Well, news is done. I have a good friend of mine, John Clavandam. He wanted to do a net river ad. Oh, you had that news about Weinstein brothers dropping red state. That's right. Ben told us that the Weinstein brothers... So the first Kevin Smith movie that they passed on. Really? I did not know that. The last Kevin Smith movie that they passed on. What about this too? I didn't know this. I didn't know this. I don't want to produce red state. They say it's too graphic. Too graphic. What? Wow. They did Jersey Girl and they're not going to do red state? Yeah, there's something wrong with that. It's just something that Harvey... What they're doing is other movie. They didn't want it. And then his brother, Bob. Yeah. It wasn't Bob. Bob didn't want it. So just like we're going to pass it right now. Just focus on it. So like you think... Focus on it. He's going to end up with this movie. Like they did Dogba. Maybe. This is nothing to do with them. Right. It has to do with... It's not being Kevin Smith or Mark. No. This has to do with... They lost a lot of money on Grindhouse. Oh, no. And so their whole reaction is... Oh, that's a very smart way to think about it. That's because the studios are very light reactionary that way. It's like... Oh, this... It's not a movie. No way. But I mean, you know, it's like another horror movie. We lost all that money on that last one. Oh, no, no, no. We can't do that. That's how they think. Especially because it's hard to market it. Yeah. Because it's not being funny. Right. Yeah. I hear what you guys are coming from. No. He's not being funny. And you just lost your shirt on Grindhouse. So you can put out another genre movie to that same audience that much right after. That soon after. Yeah, that's a pretty smart way to think about it. But like going back to... Where are we on time, Brian? Wow. Okay. You know, we're rocking. We are rocking. Let's have our good friend Van Damne real quick. I'm going to flash his picture because, you know, he doesn't like being seen on camera. So he wants to talk to us a little bit about netriver.net. All right. Hey, Geekschemas! How you doin'?

You can get your domain hosting plan. Check the buddy Josh over there. That's netriver.net, our sponsor. We love them. Let's talk comics. Speaking of red, I finally found a kickass book. I was talking to my good buddy, Matt Kelly. He's one of the geekscapers. I think his name's Saint Mort on the forums. Love you, buddy. And he said, "Dude, I just read "Red Sun" for the first time. How badass was it?" And I was like, "I've never read it!" I got through half of it. And so I was like, "You know what? They put it back on my radar. I was hanging out in Burbank and had some time to waste. I went into a comic store and they actually had it on trade. I picked it up. It's Mark Millar wrote it. Dave Johnson and Killian Plunkett. Killian Plunkett actually ended up finishing the three issue series. They got it collected here. It's a trade from DC. And what it is, is imagine a Superman didn't land in Kansas, but ended up landing in the middle of, like, Siberia or Soviet Russia. The Soviet Union. How would that change world economics and world politics if Superman was working for Stalin? The Reds. The Reds. It's a really fucking kick ass written book. And the artwork is amazing. Well, I think you'll just like that movie Red Dawn. There'll be a lot of fathers behind Chain League Fest's yelling avenge me. You know what? I bet that's not in it. The forward in this book was Tom DeSanto. He's a producer. He produced a bunch of-- Actually, Madam. Tom DeSanto. Yeah, he's one of us. He's a real geek. And he said, you know what? You could have gone that way. You could have gone black and white with the story of Superman working for the Soviet Union. And they don't. Mark Millar takes it and he says, okay, what was the Soviet Union really about? What was the communist idea really about? Was it about finding places to put people in as a physical workforce? You know what I mean? So what if you want to be a doctor? You're this. Putting people into their roles in society and having them work for the greater good. And then you have capitalism where people follow their own desires. And hope that sooner or later all the bases are covered. And everybody's happy. So Superman is a physical force, you know? And you've got Lex Luthor over in the United States as a-- Oh, he's American? Yeah, it's American. He's an intelligent force. Makes sense. Oh, cool. Right? And what happens when these two opposing powers are the superpowers? You've got intelligence and free will over here and then you've got physical force over here for the Reds. Backing communism and physical force. And that's where they take it. Which ideology is more successful and better? Right. Of course, you've got to have a comic book. So it's not just ideas. You've got Batman. You've got Green Lantern. They're all Russian. Because I've seen the action figures. Not the Green Lantern. No, he's not. No. But you've got to read the book to figure out how all these little cameos started getting together. Definitely going to read it. It's intense. The interesting about the American history is now we're very political about how we're going to stop communism. Stop here and stop all this. And America's the beacon of light and all this stuff. But you know, through the course of American history, we could have easily gone communism. Communism was a party in America. Ask my parents. They think it could happen. And at a moment. They couldn't have looked over at any moment. We could have turned red. You know, if it was just a slight change of... Who are you working for? Huh? I'm fucking with you. I'm working for Mao. You don't use this as a soapbox for your communist red propaganda. Got my parents, you know, coming from communist Cuba every still since it's like 1950s. Everything is Uncle Monista. Everybody, yeah. They see red everywhere. I'm like, it's like 2017. Now what do you think about this? All these rumors, like every year, so you get everyone in Fidel Castro's died. Yeah, you know, actually... Would it change anything? No. No. No. 'Cause it's for a while. We still wouldn't be able to go to Cuba. 'Cause his brother Juan's just going to take over. Right. Now this book, we mentioned propaganda in one of the most famous parts of the world. One of the most famous things out of this era, the Soviet era is the artwork. The propaganda artwork. Which I love. And what Dave Johnson and Killian Plunkett do in this book is they mix sort of the Max Fleischer cartoon era of Superman with the Soviet propaganda type iconic symbolic artwork. And they're still able to make like a well-rounded image, but it really lends itself to the ideas. You see the ideas as well as read 'em, you know, and it's a really fucking effect. It's a really fucking effective book. It's really cool. Yeah. It's in the gray. It's not in the black or the white, as Tom Santos says in his intro. I was pretty impressed by the whole thing. I have a double reason for wanting to read it because Mark Millar has talked for years about he and Brian Hitch ultimately taking over Superman for like a good chunk of time and what he would do with it. And that's probably a good preview for... Are you reading Superman now? Yeah. Like what are you reading? Like what should we be checking out? Everything. You a Marvel guy or DC guy? You more DC? Yeah. But I buy... Yeah, but I buy... Yeah, but I buy... Yeah, but I buy... Yeah, but I buy... Yeah, but I will always buy certain Marvel comics. I'll always buy Amazing Spider-Man. I'll always buy X-Men in some form. That's Ian for me, the DC liaison. Every Marvel zombie like Brian and I have to have the DC liaison. Avengers I'll always buy. Avengers is kind of my way of like reading about Iron Man and Thor and Captain America. It's like that's... You know, I don't need to read their own titles because I have Avengers. And that's how I feel about things like Countdown and... Oh, Countdown sucks. I know, I know guys, I know. I was reading it last night. I was reading it last night and I literally had to take out the first... The two issues prior and reread them because I didn't know what the hell's going on. I still don't know what's going on. And the thing with Countdown that they didn't do in 52 was... How good writers? Well, I think Paul Dean is a good writer. I do too. I love Batman and Batman series. They rely a lot on the monthly books. Yeah. And every time I pick up Countdown, I'm in a scene which was definitely spurned out of a monthly book. That's right. And I have no idea how that all got to that point. It sucks. I'm still buying it because I feel like something important might happen. Green Lantern. It's awesome. Awesome. So good right now. Green Lantern and Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps is amazing right now with the National War. But I mean, I've said that a lot on the show. So let's talk about stuff that I probably haven't. I mean, you listen to the show. What have I not been talking about with some of the things that our listeners need to hear about? I don't know if the action comics has been decent. The Jeff Johns Richard Donner. But it never comes out. Like it comes out really infrequently. I just stopped picking it up. I said, you know what, this is going to be easier when it's in trade. It's totally going to be easier. But it is good. And I love it. Eric Powell is doing the armor. That one's been consistent for the Bizarro book. Oh, yeah. That one's been coming out roughly on time. But I stopped picking it up. Should I just get it in trade? Is that safe? That's totally safe to do that. I like to bring up, you know, off subject a little bit. It doesn't have to be non-superior. It can be non-superior. No, no. It's Thor. Thor has been a really great ride. That book three? The book three. So good. We talked about that in the last episode of the episode before. Wow. Excellent. Oh, you got to listen like our buddy AD over here. What is the AD? Anne's Lady is. Just my middle. Oh, that's cool. That's cool. That wasn't great. No, no, hey, hey. Hey, hey. I thought it was Astro-Stroyer. You guys. It can be. It can be. We'll let you say it's that. I actually kind of like that better. That's awesome. That is what it stands for. That is what it stands for. No one. I was going to say it stands for Old Dick. That is the surname that your father gave you. Yeah, well, Eric. Sorry, mister. You are now Old Dick. Old Dick is better. It makes more sense, actually. Hey, now your parents can't listen. You would be like a spin about it. I am Old Dick before I... He's changing physically. I'm Old Dick. Canes is sprout from his fingers. You don't have this. All your dicks are now belong to us. Oh, there we go. Not us. Oh, wow. Are the Koreans the Borg? Huh? Are the Koreans the Borg? Oh, no, I'm at this. They're very dependent on digital devices. I do have to say that. Will they be an assimilation? Korean girls? Korean girls? Korean girls. You know what? You know what? Ben and I were having this conversation. Ben, before you guys showed up. Before you guys showed up, Ben and I were having this discussion about Asian girls. And I must say that the ones that I've been attracted to are Korean. Yeah, well, with guys, I'm not a rice queen. Is there something pedo about liking Japanese girls? Yes. Okay. And that's why you can't judge me. No. I'm not really attracted to Asian guys, usually, almost ever. But Koreans, I don't know why. Koreans is the one, that's my, I'm not really a rice queen. But, you know. The rice queen. Yeah, I'm not into Asians. That's nice. We call it a putty lemaine. Yeah. Oh, wow. No, no, no, no, no. Eric, Eric, give us an every episode. Is this the most un-peasy gigscape ever? I don't know. It might be. Yeah, no. Un-peasy. Yeah, because of all the, like, you know, casual bigotry. But, yeah. That's true. That's true. But I think that this is the one that stands out. But you actually have a color person. I hate you, Inuit. Okay. But you feel a little bit more just Clyde right now. Technically, you don't have any white people. And by Inuit? No. I mean, flesh-eater. No, that's right. There are no white people, really. There is half of a white person on this couch. Right here. Sorry. Yeah, but half doesn't. So you'll have to excuse them. When I hang you. Yeah, I'm offended that half of your race is, you know, polluted into our world with your brand of solitary-- Well, we are all mud people. Yeah, we are all mud people here on the couch. I'm not mud actually. I'm 100% rice. Yeah. In rice is born of mud. I'm a full egg, bro. So we've got-- so we talked a little bit about copies, but keep going. I mean, Eric, you don't just read superhero books, do you? Pretty much, but I really like the vertigo stuff, the independent stuff, like in trades. I don't get them as month, please. How about yourself? Oh, I read fables. You love that. I love fables. I know Brian. I know Chaka doesn't like it. You don't like fables? You know what? I'm with you. I got into it because on our very first episode of Geekscape, we started talking fables. And I started picking it up. I picked it up for Laura first. She read it. I read it. But I'm not as hardcore. A new trade came out. I got to read it like I am with Walking Dead or DMZ, something like that. But I dig it. Yeah. I love fables. And I like why. I actually love why. Yeah. Quite a bit. And so, you know, I'll pick-- the thing is, I don't buy them on a monthly basis because I want to read a big nut of story. Those kind of books are structured. Well, does that go without saying? Okay. I'm sorry. Fish and a barrel. So we got-- You're like facial D. What was your gateway drug into comics? Were some of our listeners who were maybe more into movies in video games? My gateway drug into comics was meth. These aren't real teeth. Comics, my anti-drug. Me? Well, I've got comics. A little bit. It's all about him when you hang out. You're kidding. He was all over the same. Me. Me. Me. I get that a lot. It's all about you. Yes, it is. But you had a gateway into comics? Yeah, yeah. It had the gateway into comics, actually. Well, for me, I know it was the Star Wars books that Dark Horse was putting out because I was really into Star Wars when I was, you know, 13, 14. I got into them. Dark Empire. Got into them through the novels, the Timothy Zon books. And then started-- found out that Dark Horse was putting out these comics and got into that and ended up going to the comics for so much. I got a job there. And then, of course, you're sitting there on a Saturday with nothing to do. You start picking up everything else. And by the time you know it, you're shooting it into your veins. I mean, but those are the things you'd suggest to people who are just into movies, video games. Yeah, yeah. Definitely go for the Vertico stuff if you're not into superhero types. But I've met someone recently who doesn't want a gateway drug so much into comics, just non-superhero comics. But they want to get into superheroes. Like, I met someone who's like, "Dude, I want some superheroes." Graphic novels. You know what I started them off on? Invincible. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Everybody. Invincible's great. Perfect. Yeah, Ben told us about it. So anyway. Let's see. You guys got it. Yeah, but we're like reaffirming the Invincible's. The Invincible's is great. It's awesome. I just don't think-- I just think we rushed it too much. I saw that episode and I thought it was too rushed. I really, really-- Well, I had a guess. But yeah, I know. And it makes sense. I just really want to drive it in that Invincible is seriously like every episode. My favorite book to read right now. Guys, if you're not reading Invincible, he's going to kill himself. Look, but that's another one that I read in trades, though. That's another book I read in trades. Exactly. You have to read in trades because of how fucking quickly it's been. Yeah. Do you guys hear this? You're a Batman fan. Did you hear that Steve Miles and Kelly Jones are doing a 12-issue series? Yes. A little bit. Yeah. Well, how do you feel about Steve Miles writing? I know. I've never read actually-- 10 minutes? Oh, okay. I've never read 30 days a night. You know what? I've read it. I just read it. You don't need to. Really? Is it awful? It's awful. It looks beautiful. No. It doesn't work. It's good, but the story is piss. Really? It's awful. Well, dude, the terror of it is that they have to survive for 30 days. But you don't feel it. You don't feel it. It feels like a weekend. That book might as well be 15 pages long. Wow. Because it seems like a no-brainer idea. It needs to be excruciating. You need to feel the passage of time and you need to feel it. But is it really pretty? It's not-- I mean, it's gritty. It's gritty. It's hard work that you don't normally see. We got 10 minutes left? Yeah. Let me quickly do video games because I did pick up the new Phantom Hourglass, the Zelda game for the DS, and if you guys are looking for something-- you know, we had an argument on the Geekscape boards today about the console war. People started telling each other that the Wii was the novelty to the PS3 and the Wii. I've got to tell you that those two systems of PS3 and then DIA in the 360 are-- they're this. You're playing your games with a controller. With the Wii, it expands it a little. You know what I mean? There are those games where you play like this, and there are those games that you play with swinging your arms and this and that. This Wind Waker game, or it's the Wind Waker universe, it's a New Zelda game, the Phantom Hourglass. It's similar. I have yet to use the buttons. It's all stylists. Oh, really? The swinging of the sword, the different moves of the sword is all stylists. You use the up buttons to select your bombs, your boomerang, your bow and arrow, and it opens it up that way, but it also takes the strength of the stylists and the innovative nature of a DS, and something like I heard that game Hotel Dusk had a lot of in it. So there was a part in the game where you had to blow out torches. I literally had to blow onto the mic. There are these bad guys who have giant ears. I had to scream while I was playing the game, and they shut up, and then they're vulnerable, and I got to this One Wall. It was like it has something that looks like your C map, so I had to bring up the map which you can draw on. You can draw on the different maps in the game and leave notes for yourself. If there's an order to the buttons in another room, you really should write it down, you know, or if there's a certain path through tiles and things that you have to get through, you literally have to draw yourself a line. But I got to this One Portion where it was like, try pressing your map up against the wall, and you see the wall on one screen, and you have to bring up your map, and then you have to close your DS to press them together, and when you open it, there it is, it's been imprinted on your wall. That's cool. That's pretty cool. I sat there for about two minutes trying to figure out, I was drawing, I couldn't tell what the hell it was doing. Finally, I said, "You got to be kidding me. This can't be that cool." And I closed it, I opened it up, heard a successful little chime, it was like, "You did it! You've now engraved that into your, you know, I was a press." That's pretty cool. That's the coolest thing I've ever heard. So I don't think you can write off these two systems that Nintendo has put out in this console war. I think that it's just different, and I kind of hope that Microsoft and Sony starts trying to do things that are a little more innovative than sitting there with a controller. A little bit of immersive play gameplay. I think there's a reason why non-gamers pick up the Wii or pick up Guitar Hero. Pick up Guitar Hero. I love Guitar Hero. Or Ganstance. Oh, okay. Sorry. But the economy. No, absolutely. You can make fun of the Wii, but you're playing Guitar Hero, and that's the same thing. It's an innovative play. Nothing more fun than getting a whole bunch of friends over drunk, and playing the Wii, and playing Guitar Hero. That's your money. Well, you don't drink. That's why. You're not having fun. I don't know. No, you're not having fun because you're not drinking. Well, I don't drink either. Right. Fact hack. So... Oh, Jesus Christ. We got this. I don't know. Play games. So that was the new video game for the Wii. You guys play a lot of games. No. I play some games. What do you plan right now? Actually, I'm playing God of War on PlayStation 2. Yeah. Yeah. Which is really fun. Can you see the PSP? Yeah. PSP stuff? No. I've seen a video of the God of War PSP. God of War. Chains of gold. Chains of iron. Chains of steel. Chains of Orion. Chains of whatever. But it looks great. Yeah. I want to buy a PSP just for this God of War, and maybe the Castlevania game I've been hearing a lot of cool shit about in the Castlevania game. So we got a couple minutes left. We got to talk about forums. We have this new website coming up, but the forums are really why you have to check out geekscape.net. Just type in geekscape.net/forums. Eric's on there. Ben's on there. I'm on there. Gilmore's on there. We had this subject that said, you honk, you got to get on there. Okay. We had this subject. That's a lot true. Eric says some profane things on there. We had this subject that we had to talk about. It's the thread. Would you tap that? Other people put up pictures of celebrities, and it asks, would you tap that? I got to say, one of our biggest tough guys, Sandstone, has posted lots of guys. That's all he's posted. Only guys. This guy was like, there was another thread. Which character do you play in the geekscape community? Yeah. I put Lloyd Dovler from Better Off Dead. I was like, whatever. Average, why do you get to do anything right? He puts Wolverine. And I was like, you know what? Wolverine's never worn fucking clown makeup. That's sort of an insect joke that I used to be a juggle up. He used to be a big ICP fan. So you have this thread. Would you tap that? What were some of the things you proposed were tappable? Well, all the straight guys were doing guys, so I'm like, well, I should put the girls that I would fuck. What would turn you? Marina Bakaran going back to Firefly. She's so fucking hot. That may turn me into a rapist. Hey, I don't remember who else I put down there, but that was definitely... Oh, I just want to... Oh, I'm sorry, Miranda. I won't. I'll behave myself when you come over later. Marina Bakaran and Cheryl and Finns circa Twin Peaks, not now. Okay. Kayleigh from Firefly. Kayleigh's my girl. Well, it's okay. She's accessible. Yeah, most people are like, "Nara, what are you fucking kidding me? It's all about Nara or a lot of people are Zoey and I can see how you could go Zoey, but I am all Kayleigh. I am Oliver Kayleigh. Jules State is one of the most... You know, Jules State? Friend of mine on MySpace. Oh. That's our actual MySpace. I know. Well, if you look at the messages... If you look at the messages we've been sending back and forth, yes, it is your real one. First year in which a comic on Jules State's husband was signing her headshot saying she's online. Oh, that's great. That is great. That's hilarious. That's hilarious. I would do that if I, too, was a... Yeah. Kind of geek goddess. She's married, huh? So, I'm not interested at all anymore. I know. Who, like, everyone is on the same page. Whenever I say this, they're like, "Dude, me, too. I've done so many high fives." Kristen Bell is my entire... Yeah. That's your thing. Okay. Can I tell you, Brian, I can't talk too much about it because of my stuff over at Universal, that the next movie that Judd Apatow produced might come out this summer. It's... Forgetting Sarah Marshall. She plays Sarah Marshall. Yes. It kind of took her to another level for me. Really? I can't tell too much. I can't talk too much about it. Will you go nuts? You will go nuts with the first five minutes. Yeah. There's going to be a mass in that theater. And it also has Mila Kunis, who I also saw, like, in a different light here. Which is why we... They both went in a different... Really? He'll come here, too. At an improv show that Ben and I went to... Yeah. Yeah. Mila Kunis. I heard you go there. Yeah. So, tap... You know, I still like my girl, Catherine Hagel. Mm-hmm. She's still my girl. Um... Like, she's my father, the hero. Yeah. If you would have. Um, pedo. What? Yeah. Well... He knows I'm just as bad on the pedo. So... Everybody knows. Zac Efron is your boy. Oh, yeah. You would tap that. You would tap that? Oh, God. Yes, I would tap that. Okay. Oh, he is gay, candy. As long as he's quiet, I don't give a fuck. How about yourself? What are some of the tapables out there? Jenna Malone. Oh, really? Jenna Malone. Yeah, she's... What are my friends? I like her, too. Your friend went out on a couple of days ago. How was that? Uh, she had her head shaved at the time. She had her head shaved? Why? She was a nice girl. Her language just didn't work out. Oh, that's fun. That's not what we want to hear. I take her with a head shave. No, like... She's a whore. You want something? I want dirt. I want her. She's nice. She said I want to hear that. Oh, dear you, sir. So, guys, I got to wrap this up because I think that's our episode. I got to tell you, it could be November. You've got the Geekscape picnic. That's going to happen. We have an all night gauntlet going on after that to celebrate Ben getting kicked out of his house. So, we're going to do a gauntlet. We're going to do a gauntlet in his house. Most people have after parties and, you know, since a lot of us don't drink. A lot of our geeks as well, just after gauntlet. We're going to do the... With tab soda. Yeah. So, I'm going to tell you, at this picnic, Gilmore has had the audacity to challenge me to a foot race. How does it come about, by the way? On I am. We're just talking shit. We're just talking shit. We usually do. So, there will be a foot race. Should other people be involved in the foot race? Other people can't. Should we have a race? Dude, we should have... I think we should have a race at John Guerrero. I think it should be... I think it should be you and me and people should take bets. Or maybe mail in a cool trophy or prize when we have it. Exactly. We'll figure it out. Yeah. But we would expect both of you to have... Oh, we'll be on Saturday. We'll be on Saturday. We'll be on Saturday. We'll be on Saturday. You guys have a podcast coming. Yes.
