We made it back in one piece from San Diego. I'm here with David Arquette, episode 34 of GeekScape. David's here to talk about all of his wife's projects. [Laughter] This is my good friend Mark Riley who's been on the show before. Hi, everybody. Number three. Hi, everyone. This is your third time. So, you and Ian are neck and neck for the who's been on the show more. Right now. This is GeekScape. This is episode 34 of GeekScape. This is movies, video games, and comic books over the next 45 minutes to an hour. You know what I'm telling you guys right now. I've got a ton of clips to cut into this next episode. So, plan on sitting in front of your computer watching this for a while because we're definitely going over. We've got a lot to talk about. Mark has had some huge news since last we saw him. He did Star Wars Celebration. He did Star Wars 30 seconds. 30 minutes. 30 minutes. That would be hard. We actually did a 30 second clip at the opening ceremonies. Oh, that's cool. It wasn't. Oh, no. It was fine. But you did Star Wars Celebration. Yep, we did the play. And the coolest thing is I saw you 4th of July and you were excited because you had gotten cupcakes in the mail from a really appreciative fan who took his kids and saw it and then mailed everybody in the cast cupcakes. Who was that person? That was J.J. Abrams. That was the coolest that J.J. Abrams came, saw the show, and then sent us all cupcakes. We all had hand-delivered cupcakes. For like the nicest cupcake place in the morning. Do you guys know sprinkles? Everybody knows to have you eat sprinkles? Learn other sprinkles because we boycott it because how much are there cupcakes? $3.50 a cupcake and they're really good. People are down the line. There's a line down the block every time we pass it. And he sent us a dozen cupcakes each cast member. You know what it tastes better? $0.25 cupcakes. No. Just because they're $0.25 cupcakes. These cupcakes are amazing. For that $3.50, I get like tons of them. And then I just rub them on my body. Well, if you buy more than $3, you get like $0.50 off. So it's worth it. Ooh! Ooh! That makes those starving kids- There's no deal. And Africa almost smile. No, we airlifted some of them to those starving kids. I bet you did Operation Dumbo Drop. (laughter) Not true. It's the best movie. It's Judgment Night. Judgment Night. Yeah, it tastes like Emilio. Did you keep a good in Junior? God, vaguely. You and your references. Oh, yeah, man. I got them. I got them all. My stepmom and I were playing a game in New Mexico where she would name the movie and I would be able to guess who I saw it with and what theater I saw it. So Judgment Night, you saw it with you? Judgment Night never saw it in the theater. Wow. It was too young. And Dumbo Drop? Operation Dumbo Drop never saw it in the theater. So what's the point of the season? It's a fun game, though. It's a fun game, but not on our show. Right. Not here. The bigger news, and then we'll get into our born ultimatum review. The bigger news is that you're a married man. I'm engaged. You're engaged. You're engaged. No, that's the next step. Oh, good, careful. We had an engagement brunch today. Jonathan came. I was one of three guys. He was one of three guys. Thank God he was there because my fiance and her women gaggle. I'm telling you single guys this. If you're single and one of your friends is getting engaged and has an engagement brunch, you go. Go. Because there's all these single chicks just waiting for the good luck chuck. They hear about how you proposed. They look at the ring. They see the wedding magazines. They're hungry. They're hungry. They're on the prowl. They're very hungry. There's a lot of them there. They were moist. They call it that with perspiration. Oh, yeah, definitely. What are you thinking? I had moist trees. I had to get out of there. They were clawing at me and I was like, no, can do. How come out of you over there? No, can do. How did you propose? I think it was kind of cool. You're a screenwriter. How'd you do it? How'd you do it? Yes. And you missed. I can't keep a mind. He missed the San Diego Comic Con for this. Yes. I was in Hawaii. I took my girlfriend to Hawaii and this is really important. Yeah, he didn't tell it. I was writing a script and I gave it to my girlfriend for some notes, some of her thoughts. About five pages in, the story kind of skewed. I set a little cut to Hawaii and I put my girlfriend's name in there. And Stacy's reading a script that her boyfriend wants. She's wondering why, what's going on. And you're reenacting your part because you're on the script. Yeah, reenacting the part is like, you know, Mark's hovering over her. She's wondering what the hell's going on. She looks at him. He's being really weird. She turns the page. This is Mark's down on one knee and the character of Mark says all the cutesy. But you're just too choked up to say. Too choked up to say. But your character, one quote says. Sasm. Manly style. Yeah. As if Patrick Swayze played you. Exactly. I think Patrick Swayze meets Sean. David, Mark, Riley. Yeah. So anyways, it says all the nice things. Stacy's crying and then she turns the page. It really was crying. She really was crying. She turns the page and it says, uh, Stacy, will you marry me? And the thing, and she went, are you serious? She looked at me. She was crying. She, she said some, some curse words like, are you serious? Oh, that's Stacy. And I had, yeah. And then I had the ring out and she flipped out. And so I did it in the screen. Play. What are those dogs? Rufus. Rufus. Rufus, you're ruining the mood. What are you doing? He's telling us this romantic story. I wish Rufus was there. I could have just laid it on his. Maybe really funny if you turn you and you're like, and it was like, are you serious? You just pick her up and throw her over the boat. Well, I did punch her in the face. Cause she said no at first. No. She did. She said yes. She was very, it was a really, it was a great moment. That's sweet. All three girls who listen to this show are totally in love with you right now. I hope, yeah. Well, the waitress today was really happy about that proposal too. She was. Mm-hmm. It was a good proposal. She was cool. Don't steal it. She was cool. I had trade marks now. Um, yeah. I have a clause in my prenup that's Ewok Village Wedding. You know. So that's kind of the litmus test to keep me single for a bit. And Laura was like, I don't have a problem with that. And I was like. Uh, on the winner. I got to think of something else. You know the Ewoks. She started, she started putting her hair and buns. I was like, all right, I'll do it. Got me a Han Solo vest. I was like, no, no. Oh, that's hot. Yeah. We're going to have him hang it up. She's acting as Ewoks. They are Ewoks. What are you talking about? Vijay. You're Lando, baby. [laughter] I hold 45 and works every time. What do you think? No, whatever. Yeah, whatever. Vijay doesn't just be partying. Um, so let's get into the show. Yeah. We want to see the Born Supremacy. This is the- Born Ultimatum. Okay, that's another thing. They're all born identity. Born Supremacy. Born Ultimatum. Okay, so we went to see the Born Ultimatum. Yes. Uh, the culmination of the Born Series where Jason Born's on the run. And this is the one where he starts tying up all the loose ends that we've seen in the- Mainly in the second movie. Yeah. Figuring out who's behind this. And now he's got to make him pay. Yeah. And still directed by Paul Greengrass, directed the second one. I think Doug Lyman did the first one. Mm-hmm. And, uh, Mark, let's have at it. What do you think of the movie? I loved it. Yeah. This is the best one. This is the best one. I think it's the best one. What's cool, and I didn't realize this, because I only have seen the first two once each. Yeah, me too. This movie starts out with him injured in Moscow trying to escape authorities. Which is actually what happened towards the tail end of the second one. Yeah. That's what I thought. And then it- then it jumps forward and at the very end of the second one, it just forwarded to New York where he says you should get some sleep to Laura Lenny's character. You look tired. Right. Which is a scene that doesn't come in this movie until about three-fourths of the way in. So this movie is kind of a flashback- three-fourths of the flashback. He's smart. He plays in the midst of- They didn't even realize that. Ian- Ian Kerner, who's coming after your title now for fourth time guest hosting. What? Well, one day- What are you going to do? One day. One day. How do you guys- I'll sign up next. He explained all this to me because he read the books and he says that the books are pretty faithful to the first half of the first movie and then they kind of diverged and kind of do all their own things. Well, I saw the "Borne Ultimatum" book and I read the back and it had nothing to do with the movie. Yeah. He says about halfway through the first movie, they go off on a different tangent. Okay. Kind of like halfway through- Do you see that movie, "A History of Violence"? Not that. That and the "Grab that" novel. I both love- Yeah. About halfway through each story, they go on different tangents. Which is kind of cool. I like that there's like a riff on something that starts the same way. Yeah, this movie is great. It's really good. He was like- I'd felt like it was more- Do you remember the second one? The second one was real, you know, his jerky kind of camera work. And this one still had it, but I thought he was a lot more mellow and he held a lot more. I just felt more- I don't know. I thought he got better at the directing of it, because I was just more into it. This one I felt started a little slow, like they were being really careful with it, but as soon as it gets to this first action sequence at Waterloo Station, that was awesome. It doesn't end. And I got to tell you, when there's a part where he's jumping rooftops in Tangier, and all I can think is, "That's Daredevil, baby." Yeah. You remember in the Daredevil movie, he would jump like 40 yards off a fucking rooftop and you're like, "What the hell is this?" He's not Spider-Man. He's Daredevil. He's Daredevil. You know, he can't take a bullet. That was the worst movie. I'm watching this, and I'm like, "That's what a Daredevil action sequence should be like." He jumps rooftops when they're that close together. Wouldn't that be cool if Greengrass did a Daredevil movie? No, yeah, it'd be awesome. It should have the same style- With Matt Damon. Matt Damon. Or my choice, Guy Pierce. Guy Pierce would be good. What you been doing since Memento? Mm-hmm. Come back to us. He's a little tiger kitty movies. Don't do that. Remember that? Four Brothers? Wow. No, Four Brothers was the John Singleton movie. No, and there was two of them, or two brothers. What was it? It was something. Two brothers. Two of them. About the Tigers. The fact that we know exactly what I'm talking about leads us into our forums at the end of the show, that is, you know you're a geek win. Yeah. Maybe that's, you know you're a homo win. Or a win. Or you know you're a 12-year-old child. Or you seek out an old transformer shirt that you saw at Star Wars Convention but couldn't get there. You can go online. How much do that cost you? $80. No, I don't know. Get out of here. I don't know. I was about to freak out because you know that stuff's out. It was like $10. But that's good. Yeah. You know, our shirts are 12. So this was less. That was less and cooler. Wow. No. Get out of here with that. Something cooler than a Greek skate shirt. There's nothing. And I have five. So we both agree that the born ultimatum kick ass movie, and it closes out the series awesome. Very well. I can't wait to get all three movies, put them on my shelf, and know that this is a really complete-- I just bought the first two today. Oh, dude. I'm waiting for a box. You know there's going to be a hot box. But they had a really cool box set now that was like the born files. And I wanted them. And I know they're going to be a cool win. But I'll tell you right now, it was $15 for the two movies at Best Buy. Well, that's a good deal. So I got it. It's a really good deal. It is a good deal. I went to see another movie after I was all jacked up on a testosterone. I went to see Hotrod. Where Andy Samberg and the guys from Lonely Island, that's kind of their comedy troupe before they were on Sarah Live. You guys know him as of Sarah Live. Video clip guys who do like dick in a box, and chronicles of Narnia, the chronic oaths of Narnia. All right. Basically the funniest parts of Sarah Live now are Andy Samberg, this guy Akiva, and Yorma. And they all came out of this little group, Lonely Island, that made these digital shorts online. They're really funny. And this movie, Hotrod, had heard bad things. I did too. Me and I go, from what I can tell, the movie is about a retarded guy, basically, he's just like, you don't really know what age he is, but he's obviously way too old to be doing this shit. Yeah. And he just wants to be a stuntman like his father, who was killed, testing a sent out for evil, that's how you, that's what you know early on. And now he's going to follow in his footsteps, be it the greatest stuntman ever, he's going to jump 15 buses, and he's got to, to raise enough money for his adopted father, his step dad's heart surgery, that he needs, his heart transplant. That's sweet. You know, there's that, he and his retard buddies get together to, and if you have down syndrome and you're watching the show, I apologize, I believe in you, go jump something in your backyard. Yeah. But, wow, I can't wait to get the emails about that one. There's a line. It's just, tie some fireworks to the back of your tricycle and go for it. You're right. It's just kick ass, there's a kick ass, like 80s training montage in the woods, which is great. It took a lot from those 80s movies, that were like the training, you know, got them. Oh, you're, of course you made it. Oh, I loved it. I loved it. But now it all makes sense. But it didn't, but that stuff, they didn't, they didn't hold to it to the point where it took away their originality, you know. There was some really almost experimental film stuff that they did with this movie. Really? Which is hilarious. Okay. You know. That's it. It took balls. Yeah. To do this, because you wouldn't, you know what I mean, you wouldn't necessarily be trying this stuff on your first film, but Akiva does. He's the guy directed it. He's one of the three people and this movie is a breath of fresh air. I thought it was just going to be like the movie that comes between Knocked Up and Super Bad. Right. But it's a totally different style. It has that same fun, you know, group of friends. I thought it was going to be like, you know, one of those old SNL, like the Night at the Rocksbury, you know. It feels a little bit like the first Wayans World. Okay. But that's good. That's good. No, I like that movie. Yeah. That's a really good one. Not the second one so much. Not the second one so much. Sorry, Arrowsmith. I had a big part in it. Do you like these Edgar Wright movies, The Shot of the Dead and the Hot Fuzz? Hell yeah. Cut to an interview that our good friend Brian Gilmore did at Comic Con with Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg, the chubby guy. Yeah. He's hilarious. Yeah. He sat down with them at Comic Con and interviewed them and here's that batch of goodness. All right. So hey guys. Yeah. How's it going? It's good. I'm here on my own. Am I really on mine? Now here's Nick Frost. I'm just here with Edgar. And Nick Frost. Hello. All of a sudden. I'm the movie Hot Fuzz and Sean of the Dead. And we just had a press conference with you guys and somewhat asked the question that I really wanted to ask is like you guys saw, you guys have seen, you know, you guys are really well polished with action movies. How'd you like Die Hard? I did like Die Hard. I could have done with more swearing. I would have liked it to have been rated. So I know you were disappointed about that but I mean did you think the action was, you know, a little? I liked the action. But even the silly bits like the, you know, the Jump Jet versus Chuck, I kind of like that. I thought it was fun. Really? Yeah, I did. I think that was my least favorite part of the movie. It made me laugh when I saw it at the cinema. It was awesome. But let me see. So where would you rate that Die Hard among all the Die Hards? Okay. This would be my ratings would be I put Die Hard number one. I put like Die Hard with a vengeance number two. Then Leaf Free and Die Hard and then Die Hard two. Nice. Nice. No, that's good. Yeah. I think for me the third one falls down because of the ending. No, the stupid. As I was going to some times. And then I switched off then. That was a bit of Jeremy Irons on Playaway. That's awesome. Well, like, you know, we are a podcast, we do movies, comics, video games and are you guys comic fans? We're at Comic Con. You're new. No, not at all. And there you go. Okay. You're doing Scott Pilgrim, I heard. Yeah. That's something that I'm working on the moment adaptation of that. Do we talk about it? Yeah. Okay. Great. So tell us about Scott Pilgrim. How's it? How's it being here? What are you doing? Now, this is something I've been working on for the last kind of like a, you know, sort of Nick. How's it going? How's it going? No, I'm not in it. It's going a bit animal. I don't know why I'm here. You've read it now. Yeah, I've read Scott Pilgrim and it's very good. All right. Great. So what comics do you guys read? Do you guys? What kind of Joe Seiko? Do you know him? I don't. He did his role Palestine and peace and yeah, he's like a political cartoonist. All right. That might be saying like I'm at my own household, but I don't really like that. You know, I'm like, right, waking the dead and, you know, 300 was good. Okay. Okay. 300. So I was. I don't read so good. Oh, man, that's awesome. So what can we expect from you guys next? Do you guys work it on? We're, I think it's something facetious, but I can't, that we have a writing at the moment. We're basically spending the whole summer writing. Okay. Yeah. Wow. So can you tell us anything about what it's going to be? Because I mean, I know you guys have covered, you know, you guys have covered action movies. Guys have done horror movies, well, zombie movies. Are there any? Is there anything else you want to do? Or is the next one going to be like a romantic comedy or? It's going to be. Well, I mean, we're hoping to make the big European bouqui flick. So I'm really, I look forward to that. I mean, that's, I think that's what I'm looking for. We're still casting. So I had my fingers crossed. It's going to be called bouqui, actually, but cocky, actually. Yeah. Oh, that sounds great. So we'll look forward to bouqui, actually, around in the sand. Next. Oh, wow. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. So one last one. So once again, you know, I really respect your guys' films. I think they're amazing. We're all huge fans. Right? Everyone's nodding now and they're at their home. What's your favorite action movie? I ain't going to go for hard-boiled, John Wade. Okay. Which, in many ways, I think he's the first ever action movie. Wow. Okay. Well, great answers. I have Ed Wright and Nick Frost here. Oh, from Hot Fuzz, everyone. And Edward right here. And Ed Wright here because we go way back from Hot Fuzz and Sean of the Dead. So pick up Hot Fuzz. It's coming out on DVD 31st of July. This will be out by then. And pick it up on HD and regular. Do it, guys. Do it, geekskipe. So that was the Comic-Con interview with Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright, two of our favorite British guys. Comic-Con was amazing, dude. And I understand you have to make these giant life decisions. Yeah. Well, when I made- Did you have to do it during Comic-Con? I didn't. I forgot and made the plans. And then, surprised to stay and see where we were going to go to Hawaii. And then, she said, "Great, are we going to Comic-Con, too?" She said that. No, she said that. Yeah, because there was- Oh, just bang the hell over right then and there. There was talk of Star Wars doing Comic-Con. And so, it didn't happen, but she said, "Well, are we still going to be able to go to Comic-Con?" And I went, "Yeah, let me check the date again." Oh, but you'd already bought the ticket. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I want to ask one. Well, next year, you've got to come and put the geekskipe crew. We owned it. Gilmore actually told me a while ago about this movie, "Hatch It." We had a guest on. He told me about this horror movie, "Hatch It." I keep hearing about this movie, "Hatch It." So far, I was like, "You know what? You know what I got to do? I got to find the people responsible for "Hatch It," and I got to interview them. Adam Green, the director, we got to talk to Robert England, who played Freddie, who's in "Hatch It." We got to talk to, dude, Dee Snyder. Isn't Kane Hodder in it, too? Kane Hodder isn't it? Didn't get a chance to interview him, but we interviewed basically everybody else involved with the film. I'm just going to cut right back to that clip. So here's this. Awesome. We got a treat for you guys. We got the director, cast members of "Hatch It." Why don't you guys introduce yourselves? I'm Adam Green. I'm the writer and director of "Hatch It." And I'm Ryan Lea Vanderbilt. I play "Youngie Victor Crawley." I'm Dee Snyder. I'm apparently Adam's bitch. Okay. I feel bad. Dee came to moderate the panel because he was such a big part of how this whole thing came together. And then all of a sudden, he's dragged into the press junkets and the whole thing, and like, "Really? You can't believe it. You can't believe it. You can't." But I just like having you right. I never get to see him. He's just hanging out. Apparently, Adam's mentor. He's an inspiration of his mentor. That's all we need. That's all we need. That's all we need. My whole life right here. My whole life right here. Yes. I joined the "Hatch It" army on Myspace. Thank you. Checked you out because I saw your Myspace photo with you with your stomach all sewn open. I did that picture. Like the autopsy thing. And then you sewed them up. And dude, you are a big metalhead. You know, I mean, look at this dude with the Guns N' Roses shirt. You had all this stuff like, "How was it getting in contact with a fucking decenider and having this movie get put together?" It was like a 25 year in the making story. When I was eight years old, like I had an older brother and he just wanted to turn me on to like Friday the 13th movies in Halloween and also Kiss. And when I was a little kid, I had a Gene Simmons doll and my mom gave it to the dog as a chew toy. I didn't want to kill her for that because it could make so much money off of that. But the dog was walking around eating Gene. But when I had to decide at eight years old what I wanted for my birthday and my grandmother sort of forced me, she's like, "You're going to get a cassette tape." She's like, "What band do you want?" And I saw this guy and I was just like him. Makeup. How awesome was that? But it was more so the fact that it was the first album where actually like, 'Cause Kiss lyrics, there's really not much there. And I had, it was, "You can't stop rock and roll." And just reading the words so like, "I am on me and you can't stop rock and roll." Like just this inspiring thing and the more you start to learn about how they put the band together and everyone telling them no and the record company's saying no. And that's what Hollywood has been to me. Like with this script when we first sent it out, the rejection letter said, "It's not a remake. It's not a sequel. It's not based on a Japanese one." That was why they didn't want to make the movie. And we use that as our tagline, which I think is hilarious 'cause it's such a middle finger in a Hollywood. And Hatchet is not the most original movie in the world in terms of like what the formula is. It's exactly what you think it's going to be. It's just, I think, and the cast thinks exceptionally well done. The fact that critics are gushing over it and it's winning awards and the buzz is so good. People are coming on my show to review your movie, which is great. Yeah, that is great. I mean, I just think it struck a chord with the timing was right. People were ready to kind of remember why they got into the shit to begin with. And I think that's why it's working. But the other thing is the support that we have, like sometimes with these movies, like unless you're being paid to be there, the actors don't show up. Like no one is being paid to be here today. Everybody's here because they love it and they believe in it. And it's just like collective heart that keeps beating that pushes it forward. And every time we got a rejection or every time we got like a shit straight to video off or the whole cast would just laugh it off. And we'd be like, "You know what? We're going to keep going. We're going to keep going." We gambled everything on this and the fact that we got the theatrical and the response, it's just great and it's attributed to the fans because Hollywood didn't get it when they saw it. They were like, "Oh, it's slashing the movie. Who cares?" And the fans were like, "Are you kidding?" And you go to those conventions and you show some of the gory clips. If we weren't allowed to show them here today because Comic-Con won't let us. But you just- Ryan was a pengora and he taught that. Yeah. You show stuff like that and you just feel this charge of electricity go through the crowd. Everybody was just like, "Fuck." Yeah. And when you see the gore in some of these torture movies right now, it's very realistic and it's squirm and you're like, "Oh man, that looks bad." But when you see somebody get their entire face ripped off and they're tongue thrashing around, you're clapping and cheering and you're just like, "That is awesome. It's fun." Yeah. Brian has a question. From across the kit. Yeah. What do you want? Now, how much of that is actually going to be able to make it into the theatrical release? I think the fans who have already seen the movie are going to be thrilled when they see the theatrical release. It was a really, really tough time. I always feel guilty when I talk about being persecuted by the MPAA when I'm sitting with Dee who had to go to court for- Crucified Washington. Yeah. And again, I just sort of mirror him and my life but at the end of the day, we just kept cutting a little bit and a little bit and getting it through and what I did is there's a couple of big event moments in the film like that head rip and I refuse to touch those and I went after the other stuff which isn't as offensive but because they saw that I was making an effort and I was taking some stuff out because all they want to do is reject your movie six or seven times so they can show on the paperwork. If a parent complains, "Well, look at all the stuff we made them change. We're doing our job." The movie is, you know, it's not quite as excessive as it was before but it's still plenty excessive enough and you get what you want to see. And then you can buy the DVD and see all of it. Yeah. The DVD will have all of it but the one thing the DVD won't have is that audience experience of the screaming and the cheering and laughing and so I know some people say, "Oh, if they cut a frame, I'm waiting the DVD. I don't want to get ripped off. You're ripping yourself off if you don't see it in the theater because it will never be the same way. We've had screenings with suits and industry people and the movie sucks. It's just like, but then you watch it with a room full of fans and you can't even hear the movie anymore." It's like a concert. I mean, it's like you have a practice space but it's not the same as being on stage. That's right. I got a question for you, Adam. Can I take over this at the university? I just remember harkening back to seeing Hashi for the first time. There's a hell of a lot of TNA in that movie. You brought back the old school TNA and then some. Did they make it cut out much of that? We didn't have to cut a frame of the nudity because there's no sex. Good news, girls. They didn't cut out any of your boobs in the movie. It's sort of wondering. All there. They only object to sex so nudity, topless nudity, especially they don't really have a problem with it. There was an abundance of boob shots in there, probably more than I've ever seen in a horror movie. Well, our audience, you're selling the movie now more than you say with a head rip. There is more. Seriously. Just put the camera over there. There's more. It's their boobs, though. They're hot. Yeah. Look at that. Oh, wait a minute. She's taking off for sure. She's actually witnessing something. Oh, beautifully done. That shirt never looks so good. You know they're naked now. What? You know they're all naked now. Oh, yeah. Ooh. And you're looking at us. I mean, look at her. But don't look at me and him. You're looking good, brother. So yeah, so you can't show blood gore, but you can show all the rest. Bresser. Okay. The one thing that the MPAA seems to love these days is scenes of torture. Drug use is great. They love rape. Right. But God forbid a swamp monster chases a bunch of comedians around a swamp with a gas-powered belt sander. That's where they draw the line. Hey. Yeah. Gotta protect the kids. They do have to protect the kids. Gotta protect the children. Yeah. Yeah. They're just awful. You've fought these battles of your entire career. Yeah. This is nothing new. When I did Strange Land, I went-- it was really frustrating to deal with the MPAA. What a rush. They're exactly. But they're-- First torture film. Yes. First film that had the phrase on it, they made a sad and contained scenes of torture. But no, it's really frustrating as a writer, as a creator to just have your movie arbitrarily being picked apart. It doesn't make sense where they draw the line like God am saying, so I feel his pain. And I went in and face them myself. I didn't just keep resubmitting. I actually-- You came with you? No, I went-- I just changed everything. Well, I figured that would have hurt it, because they would have been like, oh, this guy. And I went by myself. I didn't bring anybody else, and I stood before them alone, and I made my case, and everyone in that room knew I was right. Every single one of you could see it in their faces. They wouldn't even look me in the eyes, because they knew it was wrong, but that's their job is to uphold what the MPAA says. Because if I had won the appeal, everybody would start appealing all the time. You can't let you win. The real problem that they have with Hatch, and I know I'm right with this, is that it's an independent movie, and it made it all the way to theaters. And the MPAA in the studio system hates that. They're afraid of it, because if some jackass like me can make a movie with my friends for no money and have it go all the way and actually be successful, it just marginalizes what they do, and so they hate that stuff. And there was a point where Joan Graves was even saying to me, "Just don't put it on the big screens." She's like, "Put it in the art house theaters," and I was just like, "No, why should my movie not be playing up against..." Then your next movie, the one that you make after this is a fight, so if you guys are waiting for a DVD, because you want to see the full cut, you got to understand that people are voting with their dollar, and that by going that opening weekend, they're casting a huge vote for you as a director and as a storyteller to make a second film, and make it that much better and bigger. I feel like, man, you want to see boobs this big, and you're not going to see them on the little screen at your house. I don't care. How big your TV is? No, you got to go with an audience, like bring your friends, get popcorn, drink before you go, and if that's your thing, just have a good time and make it a party, just like a concert. And Montreal, where we just, I think it was three weeks ago, we showed it, there was a line, 750 kids deep trying to get in, they filled every seat, the aisles, and it played like a Metallica show, just every time something happened, the whole place would erupt. And at the end, like two standing ovations, they were so loud, you couldn't hear the movie anymore, and like, that's the way to see a movie like this. If you go see, I'm like, I hate- You know what would have been better? Twist his sister's show? Fuck a Metallica show. Yeah, even D1 said- I don't even have a reference, I don't care for either, but even D1 said- Everybody else said, didn't you- Didn't you- Didn't you want to say everybody just wants to be a Metallica? Isn't there a quote from you from that? I don't know, but- But it was- Let's go ahead, man, I wasn't affected by it. I met a twisted sister's show. Thank you guys so much for being on Geeks Game, thank you so much for telling us our whole audience about your movie, we're excited to see it. Huge boobs. About the huge boobs. When you see young Victor Crowley, remember this face. Yeah, who thought of that? When I was eight years old- Sick fuck. I was at summer camp, and the- Eight years old at summer camp, it was actually called Camp Avota. It was the worst experience of my life, they had us cleaning toilets and scrubbing floors. I just found out last year, Avota in Hebrew means work, so my mom sent me to fucking camp work. It's something with the Jews, the concentration camps, they just can't get enough of it. Don't worry, we're going to put you on the train, you're going to go to camp? You'll have fun, you'll be very clean, yes, and success. So, yeah, while we were there, the counselor said, "Don't come near this cabin or hatchet face, we'll get you." And I was all excited, I'm like, "What's he going to do? Who is he?" I had all these questions, and they didn't have any answers, because somewhere along the way they forgot what the story was, they just knew hatchet face. I made up the whole story that night in the cabin, because the other kids, I do think he's going to get us. I had a hard time at camp too, because I'm not good at sports, I can't catch up freaking cold. Everybody else was always playing sports when I wasn't cleaning, like Cinderella. So when I made up the story, all these jock kids all started crying, and they were scared, and the counselors called my parents the next day, they wanted to send me home. I was like a weird kid at camp, because I made up the story, and 20-something years later, now it's a movie coming out in theaters, and I bet none of those kids are playing professional sports. So fuck them. Pussy's. Wow. And that's his old lady. See you. See you. Losers. I've seen a name. March 6th. This is the movie, you can let that go now. Move on. Move on. I came out. It was to spill down. What is he? The name was just something that I thought was cool. I wish I had a better answer. In fact, John Beakler once pulled me aside, and he said, "You've got to come up with a better answer than that." I'm like, "Why?" He's like, "Because fans are going to want to know something. Say he's the guy in your neighborhood who fuck cats," or something. I was like, "Yeah, what? We didn't have somebody who did that." He's like, "You didn't?" Everybody has that. We had the donkey lady. Wow. Yeah. It was hot. It just did it. It was hot. It just has a good ring to it. Victor Crowley just sounds like Freddy Krueger, or one of those things. Alistair's taken. The monster. Let's cast my girlfriend. Where is that Oprah, Dr. Phil style? What the hell's up with casting your girlfriend as somebody who grows up to become a monster? She wasn't my girlfriend at the time. She was a friend in the makeup artist, and John Beakler said, "Get a woman with small features who's going to be okay underneath all this alginate." I knew she was a makeup artist, and she was good at doing this stuff, so she came in. I saw her with a prosthetic head, and he fell in love. But that's the truth. I'm going to take it off. He's like, "Baby, put it on." Oh, no. She was putting around. Little tank top in these little shorts, and then this elephant man had, and I'm walking around going, "It hit. It hit. Isn't that weird about dudes?" Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That little thing, and then we're about to do it. What was that movie that was on the masses of horror that had one? Oh, Jennifer. Jennifer. Yeah, that was creepy. Yeah, they didn't care that her face was so ugly because her body was so gross. You just turned her around. Face in the pillow, doesn't matter. Yeah. It's the face in the pillow rule. Yeah. Yeah. There was none of that when she was in the makeup. I tried. Thanks, guys. We got to wrap this up. Thank you guys so much. Oh, man. No. Okay. On that note, we can't wait to see the movie. Thank you guys so much. Thank you. Thank you. I'm like, "Are you recording?" "Are you recording?" All right. All right. Looking good. Okay. Now that I look good, we're going to introduce you to three women who look fantastic, and they're not only that, they're talented, they're in a new movie, "Hatch It." Introduce yourselves, ladies. I'm Tamara Feldman. I play Mary Beth. Mercedes McNabb. Jolie, if you're of Auntie. You guys are coming in the long line of Scream Queens. You know, there's some legends out there, some amazing scenes in the history of horror movies. How do you guys think that "Hatch It?" The scenes you guys are in stack up against that kind of history. I think that Jolie's death is the one that stacks up. Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert. For all you geeks out there. You don't want to know, turn it off. I think that's probably one of the best moments, and so it's talking about Scream Queens, you know. I mean, I run around and scream the whole time, but she really has a moment. Yeah. Tamara does the Jamie Lee Curtis totally, and I think Adam actually refers to her as that. But I actually have a very painful, painful death, and that's all I'll leave you with. How about yourself? I died off-screen, unfortunately, and it was my first horror film, so I really wanted to have a great death. But unfortunately, I died off-screen, and I can't really say how or why, because it's a really good joke a little bit later. It's hard not to say everything, you know? That's what you gotta do, because you have to get the reason to come see it. Exactly. But it's funny, and it's good. Even a little tease. Tamara, did you lose your voice at any point in screaming throughout this film? No. No, not at all. She did. She was imitating little John the whole time, not because she was screaming. What?! Like, a million times? We were doing what it actually got down to my scream scene. I couldn't scream. She's like, "Ha! Ha! Ha!" Yeah. But no, I was screaming the entire time, that was the funnest part, so... And what was the hardest part of doing this kind of movie? Was it extremely physical? I think it just that we had to be wet for six weeks straight, and it was really cold water. Eventually it got to the point where they would just turn on a big fire hose, and we would run underneath it, because it was less painful than being sprayed down little by little by little water sprayers. 40 degrees. It was really cold, and really wet. And we were just getting everywhere. Which we never take, they'd hose us down again. Oh, I was sick. Yeah. Where'd you guys shoot the movie? Oh, out of the arena. Yeah. But it was really hard. Seeing my brother and my father torn apart like that was the real one. The real one. Yeah, sorry. Sorry for your loss. I know, thank you. That was actually really, really hard, because I was locked in a barn with a bunch of dead animals and stuff to kind of prepare for it in the middle of the night. The movie's funny, but there's a lot of real emotion in there, and we really went for it. And I could hear her crying through the woods, and she could hear me crying, and we were just kind of screaming and crying together. Feeding off each other was helping each other. Yeah. It's funny, and it's brutal, and it also has some really good emotional moments, I think. Mm-hmm. His actress is like, "How do you approach this? Do you approach this any differently than a comedy or drama? Where do you guys find where these characters are coming from?" I feel like I approached it as any other character, and I didn't try to be anything other than real, and everything, I mean, all the reactions are real. If you saw that happening, then that's how you would react, and then everything just came out of that. I think the writing was so good that you didn't have to do anything really. Yeah, I really don't have to think along. Yeah. Adam's nose. No, it's true. It's not. There wasn't a whole lot of prior work and all that stuff, because it was written so well, and it was so, it's just on the page how to do it. Yeah. It's so cane. Yeah. He just scared the crowd about us the whole time, so we don't have to scare ourselves. Yeah. He did all the work for us, which helps, and you can tell in our performances, it's 100 percent real. Yeah, how was it working with legends like Tony Todd and Robert England, Kane Hodder? Were you guys fans of horror before you guys got a part in touch? Huge horror buff, like I grew up with Michael Myers and Freddy Krueger, and I'm in a movie with them, and I just was like, yeah, it's pretty surreal for me. It was amazing, but I didn't get to work with Robert or Tony. I just met them after the fact, but working with Kane was really, really exciting, and really terrifying, and he stays in character the entire time. Kane's amazing to like scare the creep out of you. Yeah. And fans love him. They think he's the best Jason. He's the best Jason. Yeah. You know? You guys, can you guys do Jason's theme music? That's what we do on geeksk, we geek out. Right. It's like the view for us. For geeks. For geeks. For geeks. For geeks. For geeks. For geeks. Can I work for you? That's how we do it. That's how we do it. Let's do it. You guys got the skills. It's just all Jones. Listen to me. You're going to pay for my wedding. You're going to get married to me right now. Do we, uh, straight guy? We're going to go there. What's his name? It's Deadman. No, that's over. Wait. Is Oprah married? No. What? To gay? To gay. Girl talk, babies. That is over. Yeah. You think I can only talk about video games? No. I watch my daytime TV like the rest of the babes. I love Oprah. That's right. I need to, I need to watch it when I'm putting together my, uh, my crochet. Um, that's what, that's what I can list. You're putting together your crochet. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I just, I blew it. Um, so was there any rivalry with you guys when you think about things like a sequel? No. And you're like, damn, I done. Flashback. No. Oh, no. I've been trying that. Yeah. But the thing is none of our characters knew each other before. So I was like, Adam, what if it's a dream sequence? There's something. Yeah, right. Because he's like, I can't believe that, you know, like maybe it can't work with you guys again. Because if you didn't kill us up or didn't, who knows. Could you have individual flashbacks? Like, storyline. We could just do one. We could do it. But yeah, I don't know. We haven't figured out yet how we're going to do it. We'll figure it out. But we're going to try. Or maybe there will just be a whole new thing. It's like you guys are going to just make your own movie. Just go out and make your own movie. Adam can collect the checks on this and you guys can make a giant franchise and you can have his little hatchet movie. That's fine. What do you think of that? The pulling it over here. Yeah. Ladies, you know, we got the entrepreneurial spirit, you know. Ladies do it better. You know. Okay. I wonder how it would be if a woman made horror films, like if we decided to make something that scares us. Would it be the same? Do you think? Well, you just laughed too much. We would laugh. We'd be like, "Happy run." I know. Giggles. Yeah, exactly. It's coming to get you. Scaring because they never stop. Stop. I can't breathe. That's the point. Ow. My face hurts. Do you play the game? Would you rather like, would you rather be licked to death by buddy rabbits or like pelted to death by pickles? This is the movie that answers those questions. What? Spin the bottle. Come into theaters. Let's see here. Make a movie called "Spore." Make a movie based on all those little sleep over games. Dude. Why did they edit this before? Don't see anything else. Zip it. We'll talk later. Never mind. We'll talk later. So, I'm sitting here to introduce yourself. I'm Dion Richmond. Now, Dion Richmond, if you guys don't know, we all know him as not another teen movie, dude. I thought you were going to call me Shaft, because that's what I'm really known for. Shaft? Yeah, just shaft. Which one were you in? Shaft. I was back in the '70s version. I was the old chef. Yeah. Get out of here with that noise. You were in. You were in. Which is round tree. That's me. I'm in a round tree. You might have seen me in steel as Shaquille O'Neal. No, I'm sure he ain't going to say that. He's not going to say that. He's in Speed Racer. Which is round tree. He just got cast in Speed Racer. I think he would rather talk about that one than steel. But dude, you were with Johnny Storm in not another teen movie. I was, man. I was. And you were playing like the Black stereotype. And I was, man. So tell me how you didn't have that in Fantastic Four, and that pisses me off. You know what I mean? Well, tell me how you handle it in Hatchet. Are you the guy? Are you the black dude who sacrifices himself so the white guys can get free? Actually. Because you know how that happens. A little more selfish. In every movie. Yeah. I was a little more selfish. What you need to do. I ran for myself, and I was just like, hey, if you get caught, it's on you dog. You know what I mean? You need to find the people with less pigmentation and throw them towards the dude with the Hatchet. Right. I need to do that. You know, there's just not many darker people to throw in front. You know what I mean? They had to throw the darkest person in front. I couldn't find so many darker than me to throw in front. Looking for Don Cheadle, but they couldn't afford them. No. You know what I mean? No. You know. You got to look up blood diamonds. Right. That going. That's what I'm thinking, you know? Like that. But I wasn't dark enough for that either. You know what I mean? I don't really look african. You know what I mean? Where does this movie take place, Hatchet? This takes place in New Orleans. The swamp. Okay. In the swamp of New Orleans, which we shot in a desert of California. Yeah. I was thinking about it. It works. In the earlier interviews, you guys were talking about shooting in St. Clarit. I'm like, there are no black people there. Right. He had a little, yeah. Little six flags in the background. You know what I mean? Like if you can escape the swamp, you can get to the rollercoaster. That'd be good showdown on the loop-to-loop. That'd be great. That'd be great. A little, little, little. Six flags, man comes and fights. Big to Crowley. Dude. You're in a movie with Robert Inklet. That's crazy. What the fuck? Crazy. Crazy. Were you pinching yourself? Did you have? Well, who did you have scenes with? You had scenes with Kane? Oh, I had them. Yeah. A couple with Kane. My favorites, I had my speaking scene with Tony. With Tony? Yes. With the candy, man. Right. Dude. Beastman. I was looking at his mouth like if one of them I fucking beast like us. Beastman. I'm out of this movie. Yeah. Go ahead and keep rolling his camera if you want. He was in Beastmaster 3 with Mark Singer. Right. Do you ask him about the loincloth? He still have it? I stay away from the loincloth conversations. You know what I mean? Let's try to stay away from him. How much for? Nice. Safe. Okay. Okay. Well, that pretty much does all my questions. I just cleaned my schedule for the rest of the year. I just cleaned all the loincloth. I was going to ask you, Tiger or leopard, you know. Let's go Tiger. It's a little more intimidating. Well, it doesn't chafe. For one. I don't know. And leopard, you could look like you have something. You know what I mean? If you blend right with it. I'm like, oh, shit. What I like to be on is that we've gotten this part of the interview. I don't even know who you're playing. Yeah. I'm not. What is this movie you're in? You're in a movie, man. Is it a movie? I'm actually just snuck in here just now. And I stayed at a holiday in last night. So. Don't give me with that. I'll play the loosing. You're in this movie hatchet. Right. What have you done up to the lowest point comedy? Mm-hmm. Most of it. What's the phone call like when you get asked to do a horror? Was there any fear going into this? It was because I didn't want to do that. I didn't want to be on Skin and Max in the middle of the night. It never hit the theaters. You know, you get a call from like your friend from high school 10 years ago. I mean, I was up at two in the morning and I saw your movie. Dude, you know that video stored on the street that has a dollar bin? Right. This whole dollar bin. It was like four of them in there. It was amazing. Damn, though. But then you started finding out about some of the- Yeah, I started finding out about the pieces of it. The legends you were, man. When Adam, I met Adam and he was the director and that was where I was really concerned because you can get someone who they got a script and they hired some director from somewhere else to just come shoot it and he's just going to come throw in his little shots. Okay, angles. And then, you know, it turned into just crap. But he was so passionate about it and he knew what he was doing and he knew what he wanted to see and he was a horror geek. So I was like, I can trust this guy. Did you respect your input and things like that as an actor? No, he didn't respect you. He wasn't like, listen. Shit. He was like, shut the fuck up. At page 70, you're bleeding to death and you say I will stop him. Right. White folks go ahead and get out of here. I'll take the hit. I'll distract him. I'll take the hit. You know. Go, brother. We have to do a horror movie where it's just, you know, fuck that. Well, you know, it's the hard way with black people. Like, it would be some other shit. Like, Victor Crowley, we get shot at. You know what I mean? We're going to be finding shit. Pulls out a hatchet. You pull out like something. And I'm like, what the fuck, I just got this from Hector. Shit. And I'm low on bullets, so I need to make sure you stand still. No, no, fuck. I do not watch Cinemax. It was decent. It was very decent. But, you know, I was actually supposed to, I auditioned for that movie and they didn't hire me. What? Yeah, and I'm sure it ain't mad about it now because they don't even show that I shouldn't reruns. So, you know what I'm saying? Take that. Take that. Dude. Neon, this is hilarious. It's fun hanging out with you, man. It's fun hanging out with you. He's just a million dollars. I hope so. Broke checks, baby. Hey, I'm not getting any, but I still hope, he's not, I still hope that's it. You got to put you in like a video game. Oh, that'd be great. Catch the hatchet. Throw it back. I just hope they don't make me funny looking. You're not in a video game. You're face translation. Action figures. Into an ugly dude. You end up looking like the, like, freaking character from Masked. Right. The Masked. You're like, oh, it's Eric Stoltz. Like, wow, this dude got a tan. Masked. Got a tan. I didn't know it was possible. Like a transformer. They transformed me into a burn victim. Right, you know, so I hope that if they do translate the media, then I look good as a toy. Yeah, that's all I'm hoping. Yeah. I look good as a toy. There's room for improvement. There's room for improvement, man. I'm kidding, brother. Take off a couple of edges. Just move a couple of things out. You know what I mean? Make my toy official. Like, give me a big chest and I need some shoulders. It's going to let you roll, man. Just rock this thing. You know what I'm saying? I'm going to make my own toy. And after I do that, I'm going to sell it at the ABN Awards. A little screech action. I have to pay for my house. No more screech jokes. No more screech jokes. He'll find you. Yeah, he will. He's crazy. Thank you so much, Dion. Thank you, man. I appreciate it, man. I'm here with two legends on the screen. Tony Todd, Robert England, two guys that we all grew up watching. And we continue to watch in movies like "Hatch It," which is coming out this fall. We've heard amazing things about it. Why don't you guys tell me a little bit about the movie? You know, Tony's got the meaty roll. I'm more of a cameo in "Hatch It," but it's basically a return to hardcore old-school horror. Without the CGI, without the bells and whistles, this is just relentless, wonderful horror. This kid Adam Green has come out of left field, and he's one of the most gifted young directors I've worked with. And Kane Hodder, who many of you know as Jason from all the Friday the 13th movies, is working on a new franchise as far as I'm concerned. He wears more makeup than I ever wore as Freddy Grooger. He's got not only the head and the face, but his entire back, he looks like a stegosaurus in heat. To be honest, you're better looking. Yeah. Much better looking. And Robert is actually one of the first scenes in the movie, so right away, all the horror fans are going to save. Product identification. There's a man. He's looking for a thrilling rollercoaster of a ride. But I mean, you two guys, when you guys come on a film like this, because I told you before the interview, we had Scott Glosterman on our show who directed you in "Behind the Mask." It brings legitimacy to the horror. It brings fans with it. They trust that this is going to be a good quality horror film when they see your faces. Well, that's really flattering. I don't know if either one of us really wake up thinking that, you know what? I'm an icon. You know, I tried to avoid that, but I guess it's a reward. The fact that we both took not only whatever roles it is that brought us to the attention of people, but we took, I worked in craft seriously, and we will do nothing less than to do our best to the fans. Do you know him? It's your films. Yeah, but I mean, for instance, I know I do Tony's work way before Candyman, and way after Tony's, you know, I don't think of Tony as a monster guy. Although, you know, I'm going to tell you, Candyman is a classic and out-and-out classic film. And, you know, I was- You said something interesting earlier today. You have to embrace it. You can't run a lot of guys that get twisted about, oh my God, I don't want to be identified as that. You just have to embrace it and enjoy it. I had done probably 15 to feature films and a successful TV series before Freddy Krueger. That's right. And I was part of the '70s renaissance. Free. Yeah. I worked with Bob Raffelson, who did five easy pieces, and introduced the world to Jack Nicholson. I worked with Robert Mulligan, who directed to Killah Mockingbird. I worked with Robert Aldrich, who directed whatever happened to Baby Jane. I worked with Daniel Petrie, who directed Raisin in the Sun, you know, and this is the whitest guy in the world, and discovered a half a dozen of the most terrific African-American actors in the United States of America. And I was spoiled rotten. And I did this little horror movie, because in those days we thought of Wes Craven as David Lynch, from Hills Have Eyes and Last House on the Left, and it took off, but what it gave me, the blessing and the happy accident, and Tony knows this too, is when you do a horror movie, they're international in their success, and it opened doors for me in Europe and Wes Craven taught me to respect the genre, and as Tony says, to embrace the love. Yeah, because the respect and the outpouring that we get, and I hope I'm speaking for both of us, when we go to strange cities like Vancouver, which a lot of films are done there, or anywhere. Canada, you know, Europe, Paris, it's amazing how many people are connected by the love of this genre, and you can't deny that, and it's like, you know what, they're all watching right now, at the end of the day, at the end of the day, I'd rather somebody know me for something, not know me for anything, and I'd be stuck in some factory doing something I hated. I love what I do. I love this business. You also get screen time in the genre when you're, when you're, when you're a leading man in the genre, and I know Tony knows this, Tony, Tony's done guest stars, and I've done guest stars on the top shows in television, and there's, there have big casts, and you, you can do your best work and still have that scene cut out. You know what that's like, and yet when Tony's doing Candy Man, or I'm doing a, a strange deranged scientist in a, in a little horror movie in Europe or something, I'm able to really breathe on camera. They're, I know they're going to cover me, they're going to let me, they're going to give me, they're going to give me time because they need me, and that boy, that opens doors not only for other roles, but it also helps you as an actor, I think, because you really get that time. It makes you feel more comfortable in your skin, and at the end of the day, isn't that we're all as human beings looking for us to be comfortable, to accept ourselves, you know? And one day, who knows, maybe we'll get those two classic items together, teamed up, you know what I'm saying, Freddy, get ready, Freddy. So seeing that as a big screen, get in bed, you know what I'm saying, see it in bed. You got to, you got to project it into being, but, but it opens up the, an audience, then goes back and discovers your other films, we're talking about the Beastmaster, which we all love. And you're in that, I discovered you, Robert, and never too young to die, don't get shy. I bought two VHS copies of this film, because I ran the other one into the ground, this is the John Stamos classic where he has to battle a Mafordidic Gene Simmons to save, Robert's a scientist, who's going to, who's going to, who's going to, going to poison the LA, first computer nerd in movies. I think I played the first computer nerd ever in movies in that film, yeah. You started the stereotype. You started it. You guys are, you guys are trailblazers. This is amazing. Can I ask Robert a question, did you actually audition for Freddy? Yeah, you know, it was strange. I was doing a play with George Went from Cheers. What was the play? It was called Journey's End, which is now running, it's now the big hit show on the West End in London. It's a World War One play, it's an anti-war play. And I had just finished the mini series of V, and George was making a decision about whether to do this show called Cheers, or this other show, he actually had two pilots at once. And I was going up on this audition, and I was hanging out at the new wave clubs then, because I was kind of flush on La Brea, and there was one I really liked. They had a great band, and I remember sitting in there, and they had two black and white monitors in the bar, and they had a continuous loop of sequences from the hills have eyes. And that's how I knew of Wes Craven. So when I got the interview, I drove over in my old beat-up sports car, and my friend smoked then, and he'd put a cigarette out of my ashtray, and I licked my finger, and I took a little bit of the ash from the ashtray, and did circles under my eyes. Slicked my hair back, because I have a very high hairline, and went in, and you guys can tell, I like to talk, I'm run off of the mouth. I shut, I zip my lips, and I just played staring games with Wes Craven and let him articulately and eloquently explain the backstory and the mythology of the nightmare in Elm Street. I got home, and you'll remember these, remember that old invention answering machines? I got home, I got home, and I had the part. Wow. Same day. That's incredible. That's how it works. Well, thanks a lot, guys. Thanks for it. It's not every day you get two legends sitting next to you, guys. Ready versus Candyman at a theater or drive-in near you. Drive-in preferably. All right, that was everybody involved in Hatchet, basically, at Comic-Con, and dude, I got to tell you, wait, you saw it, but on that Tony Todd in Robert England clip, sitting next to them, as Tony says, listen, I'm just going to interview Robert by self real quick, and you mind? And I was like, dude, don't let me get in your way, so I hit on the mic, and they start ripping on each other like two horror icons? That's cool. I was-- dude, I mean, for somebody who loves horror movies as much as you do, that, dude, having Candyman and Freddy Krueger, because their arms reach should be, like, on my show. That's cool. Jammin' like that. It blew my freakin' mind. We got to keep the news going, though. Yeah. I'd like to let you guys know about NetRiver.net. NetRiver's a sponsor. They're out of Linwood up in Washington, close to Seattle. They are a badass facility for running your hosting plans. They've got all this technology and co-location stuff. They run geekscape, so you're only able to see this and download this and enjoy this because of NetRiver.net. They're changing up their business plan. Bless you, baby. Did you hear her sneeze? Come back up. Maybe. Um, they're changing up their business plan, and while they do, it might not be that easy to order a hosting plan, but you can do it. You got to email their sales department, say you want a hosting plan. They're like 8.95. We're on their hosting plan, kicks ass, we haven't had a glitch, but it gets cheaper. You put in the code "Gillmore." He's getting a lot of love, man. He's in Japan right now, like breaking all sorts of laws. Really? He's sitting in there. 14-year-olds? I don't know what he's doing. But-- Well, it's legal there, so-- No laws in Japan. Um, anyway, you're putting "Gillmore" as your promotional code. You're going to get 10% off, email the sales department, NetRiver is going to hook you up. If you've got a website, you literally are a dummy for not using NetRiver. Um, everybody's like, "I'm a dummy." I love it. All you go to are the account holders-- I'm a dummy. You're an idiot. Um-- You heard it here. Have you heard of this Seth Rogen getting the deal to write and star in the green horn right? Yes. What? Your take? I went, "What the hell?" Yeah. But, see, I've been hearing-- I heard Jack Black at one point-- Or for Green Lantern. Was that-- Yeah. Green Lantern. Okay. I take that back. You're right. That's-- I mixed it up. I heard George Clooney at one point. Kevin Smith had a hold of it for a while. Kevin Smith. So I guess the Kevin Smith, Seth Rogen, is more along those lines, but then-- I think, you know what, like, let's just wait and see. What are they going to do? I'm not familiar with the green hornet. You know, it's like you can play these characters from the 1930s pulp novel Straight, like they do with the Shadow and Alec Baldwin. Yeah. But you're going to get a movie that's kind of tame. You know what I mean? Yeah. I felt that movie was kind of the-- Yeah. Kind of the end of the era that started by Batman, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Dick Tracy was a big hit. Yeah. The Shadow kind of brought that to a close. You know what I mean? Yeah, you're right. Oh. It sounds like what? Spider-Man. The Shadow right now. Not to direct or anything, but I think he's involved in trying to get that back. Is this spirit something similar to that with Frank Miller? This spirit is Isner's work, a guy who was supposed to be dead, killed off, and he comes back, but he's not dead, obviously. Yeah. He's a live and beating guy. He's not a ghost or anything like that. But he's kind of this hard detective, and it's more swinging. The spirit's more swinging and more fun. They have more colorful characters, sort of in a good, crazy style. Okay. Frank Miller's doing that one. Right. He's a director. Mm-hmm. I could go for this. I don't know. You know what? We're just going to have to wait and see. I'm telling you right now, I don't think the movie's going to get off the ground. Green Hornet? It just sounds like one of those things that somebody reacts to a really big knocked up opening weekend. Right. As the property and says, "Maybe they're the solution to not losing my job because I paid for the option on Green Hornet." Yeah. Because people buy these options, and then if they don't come out with a movie, they're in the red. Right. You know about the strike that everybody's thinking about next summer. Yeah. They've pushed Wolverine into production starting in October. Like movies that may not be as advanced in the development stage as they need to be. Hollywood's pushing them through the pipeline, 2008, late 2007, I mean I saw the numbers of productions going in that time period just to beat the strike. Oh yeah. And it dwarfs the same time last year. Do you know what happens when you push something to have a temple or to have something? X3. X3. Poseidon. Spidey III. Spidey III. Yeah. When you hit the release date and you don't even have a script yet? Well, this is cause because they think everybody's going to go on. Well, I understand that, but they're still doing it for summer movies where they have the big boom, boom, boom, boom, boom openings. Well, they're doing it again with Watchmen. I mean sometimes a director has a weekend like they're releasing Watchmen on the same week that 300 euros released. That's good. You know, sometimes that works. I'm telling you right now, Martin Luther King month, you release something like coach Carter basketball movie every year. This year it was stomp the yard. Huge numbers. Huge numbers, right. You release like a black urban film in that month. Huge numbers. Um, that's, hey dude, Hollywood is not, it's a science. So speaking of comic movies, head to the big screen, Why the Last Man, have you read this? Yeah. Dude, I read what? You didn't be doing it. Yeah. DJ Caruso. I didn't know. Wait, no. I thought it just. DJ Caruso is directing it. The guy who did this movie with Shayla Boo for his peeping Tom. Oh, Disturbia. Disturbia. I didn't know that. I haven't seen Disturbia. It's good. Yeah, I hear it's good. Because it has the chick from Accepted in it. I thought I read. Laura's looking at me now. I heard the. What do you make? Yeah, the way, making a Why the Last Man movie indeed, the director of Disturbia. It's really good. And he and Brian cave on wrote the original screenplay too. What's that? Baby? Jonathan. Who's going to be York me? And me. You got to go to Australia, baby. They're going to computer generate York. Hey, baby, if you go to Australia and I got to go find you across the world with like two Lesbos, can you stay in Australia? Because in the comics, like, York's girlfriend starts hopping continents and it just makes them tougher for the guy. She, she, Hank and cheese will be my monkey, maybe Rufus. Because trust me, we've shared DNA enough. Yeah. Cool. Len Weisman did live for your die hard. He's doing. None of the world. What's he doing? Wait a minute. You tell me to. You tell me to. Come to me. I forget. I forget. Years of war. Yes. Sports 360, mega freakin hit. He's doing another one. Escape from New York. He's redoing escape from New York. You know what? I thought the doubt, before I saw live for your die hard, I would have thought that was the biggest mistake in the entire world. But I gained confidence in him as an action director with that movie. I liked Underworld. Yeah. I thought I could have done better than that. Yeah. No, no. Not good. I got to tell you man, next week on the show, I've got Stan Winston and the, the, the cast from skin walkers, sat down with them and did an interview, it's going to be on next week's show. Nice. Yo. Werewolves. Straight up gauntlet movie. I'm telling you right now. This is a gauntlet movie. The only way I'm going to see this movie in the theater is if I have you geek scapists with me, we're at a midnight screening and we are freaking yelling our heads off. It says probably from what I saw as enjoyable as the movie can get. And dude, I love going to see bad movies like with my homies yelling, VJ is there. He's saying bull crap. He's yelling. We saw Blade Trinity together. Blade Trinity baby. There it was. The worst. Horrible. The worst. Oh my God. Dracula's here. We're so scared. And then Dracula runs away from them in daylight. In daylight. That's weird. Weird. You know. Wesley Snipes didn't take off. I mean, he never really took off his sunglasses, but he didn't really. He did like, apparently didn't even want to be doing it and it showed. Horrible. Oh, we got one more. Yeah. Another video game going to the big screen, Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Did you return to Castle Wolfenstein? Yes. Yeah. Return to Castle Wolfenstein. I heard about that. It's going to be. I don't know. Is this the first movie he's directed? Roger Avery, the guy who did work with Tarantino. He did some work on Reservoir Dogs. I guess so. Pulp Fiction. I forgot that. Silent Hill. Your favorite movie. He wrote that. Didn't he direct Silent Hill? No. Did he direct Silent Hill? Is that the guy who did it? Oh, the guy who did Brotherhood of the Wolf did Silent Hill. Well, now Roger Avery is writing and directing Castle Wolfenstein, which is like, you can do whatever you want with Castle Wolfenstein. I just know that it was the first first person shooter I ever played. And then Doom was after that, and Doom come out after that. But I got to tell you, when I got to that last dude on the first stage of Castle Wolfenstein and it opens up that door and there's that giant, flat-topped, German dude with a Gatling gun and he's like, "Gudendard!" And you see your little dude's face, which was your health meter, and it starts getting all bloody and falling apart by the time he becomes a skull you're dead. That got my heart beating. You didn't have a late any time to react. Dude, I was like, "Oh, shit!" Like welcome to first-person playing, you know what I mean? That was my first intro, was that German Nazi dude and Castle Wolfenstein. That's fun. That was awesome. That's our movie news friends. Do you feel like people have gotten their movie news? Yeah, that's cool. Would you feel good moving into comic books? Yes. I would feel very good about that. Now, we've got to talk about Spider-Man because I got a huge spoiler for all you Spider-Man fans who are looking at this new amazing Spider-Man thing, but before we get into it, we have another interview from Comic-Con. This one is with amazing Spider-Man writer J. Michael Strzinski, you know him from Babylon 5, you know him from Rising Stars, Supreme Power, he's also a huge screenwriter, he's doing World War Z. Is he doing World War Z? Oh, that's right, and the change leaned with Ron Howard. Right, his company. J. Michael Strzinski's big time, but not too big time to be on GeekScape. We're big time now, and he sat down with our good friend Brian Gilmore, I shot it, and here's that interview. Hey, guys, how's it going? I'm here with J. Michael Strzinski. He is one of my favorite comic book writers, and he has been, I actually, are you saying that because of how pale I am, or because of how much I like your work? I'm sorry, you need to get that more. Oh no, you are definitely one of my favorite comic book writers. I'm so sorry. He currently writes my top two titles right now, Amazing Spider-Man and Silver Surfer Requiem, which is a great mini-series that you're doing, and so I've heard a lot of people complain about sort of the older Peter Parker, you know, a lot of people are saying the thing that we like the most about Peter Parker was his youth. He was going through a bunch of awkward things, and you know, he goes through so much in his life, and we're losing that as he's getting older, and we want to go back to a younger Peter. What's your answer to that? Well, I think that's probably why they created the Ultimate's line, to bring that aspect of it back again. One thing that's always troubled me is we have the graying of the comics industry, both in those who write it and those who read it. You seem to see more here comic-con grown-ups dragging kids along, and kids dragging adults along. Definitely. I think that there's something kind of missing that, and our heroes are growing up at the same time, and there's some good about that, and some not so good about that. Okay. Well, I personally think that you've just completely centered in, and you've hit the nail on the head on who Peter Parker is, because, I mean, he's not going off doing a bunch of things that, you know, he wouldn't usually do. He always really stays in character, but most recently, in the back in black that we're going through right now, he's really pissed, and he's going out, and you think that he's going to kill people, and he's threatened the kingpin's life, and he's never gone. He's never gone that far to say, "I'm going to kill you, no matter what. If my aunt dies, I'm going to kill you." And he means it. Now, does he? Yes, he does. That's what I wanted to ask. That may were to die. There's no question that the man who ordered the bull to be fired, his whole life he's been out about defending Aunt May, a price would be paid. Wow. But that price would be the kingpin's death. Absolutely. Wow. And, well, I mean, death is something that you're dealing with in Spider-Man, and it's great, but also in Silver Surfer, the Silver Surfer right now in Silver Surfer. That was a very good segue, by the way. I was slowly dying. That's an excellent segue. The death-to-death thing. I'm in awe. Thank you. And he's-- And those who get home, by the way, he's written out a phone number over here. So if he's been waving his hand, if you do a freeze frame, you can find out that phone number and call it later on. It's actually Courtney. He's right over there. Excellent. Courtney Love. He has his number. He's kind of cute. So-- Well, not your subconscious, aren't you? No, no, a little bit. Yeah. Good. My job here is done. Yes. Silver Surfer Requiem. Silver Surfer is dying. Yes. Whose decision was that? Was that your decision? Yes. Why did you want him to die? Was it because of the movie that came out? He'll see money. Death comes to us all. And I wanted to see how someone who has that much power and who has seen what he has seen would deal with it. Would he rage against the darkness or would he go quietly or there's something in between. So again, I like to explore the larger questions and the larger issues and that gave me a chance to do that. Yeah. It definitely does because in this last issue that came out this week, you even have people trying to figure out, you have Magneto trying to help him, you have Professor X, you have people of all walks of Marvel Universe trying to help this guy because he's been that great of a guy. Now, I don't want to ask, is he going to die? But if he were going to die, do you think, would this be permanent? Well, the Marvel Knights title operates outside Marvel continuity, so we're okay in that respect. Right. And yeah, he's-- But would that be the end of him in that? In that, I don't know. That's a decision to be on my pay grade. But in my books, yeah, he dies. Wow. He's going down. All right. And part of the reason that you're here is because of Babylon 5. And my mom didn't have birth control. And your mom didn't have birth control. And about-- A user submitted question about Babylon 5 was, when you come to these conventions, I mean, I know you're known really well for your comics and you're also known really well for your sci-fi, but which one do you get more of? Like-- Like, I mean, guys don't know about my comics, work don't know about the television work. I don't know about the television work. I don't know what I'm doing in the future films. Guys, the film work don't know any new comics. So it's kind of-- no one knows each other. I walk in three separate worlds among my people, but they know not me. And so what are you-- tell us about Babylon 5, what's coming out? Babylon 5 DVD, which is a series of short stories at the Babylon 5 universe. Each one I have to run did it from the main character. And the chance to have an anthology show and peek back in on these characters who I work with so many years. The same way you kind of go back to a high school reunion to see who's still around, who's alive, who's in jail, who's on bail. All right. That's great. And can you give us any insight, maybe like spoilers and anything that's going to happen in there? No. You have to buy the damn thing. All right. That's fair enough. Go buy that. And what's that? Touch on Thor. Touch on Thor. Oh, yeah. Let's do-- let's do rebirth. You brought back Thor. Yes. And you brought him back in a pretty mighty way so far. He wants to come back. And where are you going with that series? It's a way chance to, again, use him and the whole mythological premise to explore the larger questions of life and death and rebirth and everything else and put him in the middle of America and see their response to him. Now, if Thor were to come back to America, I mean, I know you're going to write how they're going to react, but theoretically, how do you think they would react? They actually kind of welcome him. They kind of bring a down-home kind of guys, and they say, listen, come to the town meeting, come to dinner, and let's see the intersection between gods and men. All right. That's great. And we only got one more question because I'm getting the wrap-up sign here. Now, Supreme Power, I adore Supreme Power. Now, if the squadron Supreme got into a fight with the Justice League, who do you think would win? I would. For I am mighty, and take large steps. Oh, great. So is that your answer? Come on. Yes. The squadron Supreme or Justice League? Me. It's all about me. It's all about me. It's all about me. I'm going with Squadron Supreme because he's the writer, and I'm going with, yeah, that's it. Okay. He would cheat in there. He would get him. So J. Michael Shresinski would win. Thank you. It was great talking to you. All right. Thank you very much. All right. Thank you very much. Right. So that's what JMS had to say about Spider-Man, Thor, the Silver Surfer. Is he right? The Silver Surfer script? Yeah. For Fox? Mm-hmm. That will be good. Thank you. I'm reading Thor. You like it? I read two. I didn't read two yet. Oh. I didn't read the first one. I'm behind on my comics because I went to Comic Con and just bought all this stuff and it's sitting on a... It's sitting on a... There's two stacks next to my bed. But we'll see. I like the artwork at Thor. Yeah. Thor is a character. Not so much. Yeah. But Spidey, they're doing this thing one more day. Yeah. Okay. Where... What if you had one more day? We don't know what that's about. I'm worried that it's going to be like the other. No. I'm going to... Now listen. What am I about to tell you comes from the same person? Hello. Hey, Rufus. Hey. Hey. So... Hi. It's Rufus. This is cheese. Hanks over here somewhere. But the news I'm about to tell you comes from the same guy who told me about two months before they killed Captain America, that Captain America was going to die. So... You knew that? I knew it. Dude, I knew it through about halfway through Civil War. I sat on the fact that Captain America was going to die. Every time I was reading Civil War, I expected him to die on the next page. Wow. So let me tell you... That must have been traumatic. Yeah. A little bit. And then he doesn't even die in Civil War. He dies in his own book. But I'm telling you right now... Yeah. A couple of years if you don't want to hear what's going to happen in Spider-Man books... Who I want to hear. They're going to de-age Peter Parker and Mary Jane. They're going to bring him back to a smaller, like, a much younger age. They're not going to be married anymore. And yeah, they're kind of resetting the characters but keeping the rest of Marvel in continuity because Aunt May's in a coma, somebody makes a deal with the Mephisto, the Devil. Okay. De-age's Peter. And maybe... And they do what's a fuck with him. Is he going to get his identity back? A De-age's Mary Jane. Yeah, now he's like... Now nobody knows him from fucking Adam, you know? Wow. So he's back to being honest. So it fixes that one. Big time. And here's the one that's going to cause people to throw their iPod across the room. They're bringing back Wednesdays. Whoa. Yeah. I was wondering if you're going to go there. Wow. So Daisy, they're bringing back the little love triangle and... That's going to be... Why? I don't know. I don't know. Okay. I mean... When you can't heal a character, it's like... Well, it's comics, I guess. You got to do it. When I think I bring Captain America back to... They'll bring Captain America back. They'll bring Captain America back one day. They're going to go one more day for him and they're going to be age him. If you want a comic that doesn't pull punches, we got a fear agent, this dark horse is putting out. I can't talk. Dark Horse is putting out this book, Fear Agent. It's the third series. They got two issues out. Dude, that is such a kick ass alien invasion book. Really? It's not one race of aliens invading. It's two races and they're going to fight it out on earth and we're caught in the crossfire hiding in like warehouses and stuff. Really? What's it called? Fear Agent. Okay, it's out now. Well, there's two trades out. Okay. You got to go get those trades. I mean, I like that stuff. And it's great. That's my favorite. It's really damn cool. One's like a robotic race. There's brains in jars type race, you know what I mean? And then there's a third race of like geckos that fly around and they're kind of like the scavengers who follow the war. Oh my God. It's fun. That's cool. And they don't pull punches. The first issue, they kill the dude's kid. They kill the dude's grandfather and he's stuck on the moon fighting a resistance with his love interest and his ex-wife. Does it take place like now or like the future? Yeah. And it's whole a little bit out of order but in a very clear way. So this is- Like why the last man? It's such an enjoyable book. I went back in San Diego, I went and bought them for earlier two trades because Ron from I Fan Boy is an awesome podcast. All about comics. He said, dude, you're an idiot if you don't go buy him. I'm going to go get it now. Video games. The big complaint with our show is that we don't do enough video games. I got to tell you right now. I played the first video game I've ever written. I played the DS, Robert's SmackDown. Oh yeah? How was it? Well, I'm telling you right now, it's a very early version. I'm going to THQ on Tuesday to meet with those guys and see like a little later version of the game. But it's very cool, man. It feels like elite beat agents. It's not one of these games where you push left or right and your guy walks around and then you hit a button to punch or kick or this. You use your stylists the whole time. So you get stuck in these lock up modes and you have to hit a button. You have choices of buttons that appear on the screen. You have to hit them very quickly and do motions like circular motions or dragging motions to execute the move. And if you don't do it fast enough, you get your ass beat, you know what I mean? And so the match goes swings one way or another depending on how successful you continue to do these maneuvers. That's cool. Yeah, it's a new way to do a wrestling game or a fighting game. It's new and it's for the DS. It's original. I hear the dialogue sucks. Well, so I'm excited of that. They also showed me this Conan game, which was kind of cool. We interviewed Conan last week. But the game looks sort of like got a war, but there's a lot of puzzles. And I don't know how open area it is, but the Conan game, I'm going to try and get that thing for free. I'm going to see if they can get me. Conan solving puzzles. Well, it's like you get to places. It's a Zelda. You know what I mean? You have to do the detaction, but you still have to solve like open crates and something like that. I'm not sure I see him solving puzzles. Right now. Oh, crossword. You want to hear what we did? We went to this press panel for one of your favorite directors. His name is Uva Bow, director of House of the Dead. Oh, yeah. Uldrain. Alone in the Dark. He's one of your influences. Correct? When you sit down at the keyboard to write films? Absolutely. I think of him. And that's what I realized what not to do. And I start working. Well, he's amazing. I'm going to hold these interview clips until next week's show. But he's the one that he interviewed Uva Bow, and I'm telling you, man, you can not do it. How dare you talk to Uva. I am on your side. Is it Uva? I feel your brother. Uva Bow. Okay. That's German. Uva. If you're out there listening, we're still homies. Don't beat me up. You beat up that one critic right in the ring. Dude, you step to Uva, he's going to put you down, and he and I in the interview, we do a little bonding. You know how? He's the guy who introduced Van Damme into the conversation. And right there, I like you. But I also like him, because he showed some clips from Postl's film version called Postl. It actually looks pretty funny. I will not. It actually looks like it actually looks like a kind of movie I'm actually going to enjoy on a Sunday afternoon. I saw the preview for that. He is the window washer with September 11th, give me a fucking break, come on. That's what I'm saying. This movie. No, the guys. I know he does. And he has no right to go there. We're going to show you, we're going to show you these interviews next week. But I will say that the dude, one of the dudes from Running With Scissors, the developer of the game, was at the press panel and pulled me aside, showed me on his laptop some stuff that's going to go into the new game, which is going to be out until 2009. This Postl 3 game is open air environment, like Grand Theft Auto. It's a Postl worker going Postl dude, and you're going nuts, and you're like, "Kill a pearl." The third one in the series. That's funny. I got to tell you, he hooked me up with the first two, with like a complete edition of all the Postl stuff up to this point. It's called the Fudge Packer edition. He gave me the, he goes, "Dude, nobody has this." He gave it to me, he knew I was down. And then he showed me the thing from Postl 3, it was really early, really rough. But I can tell you right now, the best weapon in the game is a badger. You grab a badger by the neck, and by the tail, and you walk up to people, and the badger goes, "Ah!" And he cuts under shreds. So that's your escape exclusive. I haven't seen that anywhere on the internet in Postl 3 coming out in 2009, unless the, unless the US government doesn't allow it to be released, the kick ass weapon, which works like the Chainsaw and Gears of War, is a badger, which carves you up with its claws, because you've got your fucking hand up his ass or something, you got him by the tail, and you're, you're, you're literally going up to people and going, "Woooooo," and just putting a badger up to them, badger. He's in this little, he's in this little harness, like this carrying case, and you just carry him. I can do it with cheese, right, cheese? I'm not going to do it, cheese, cheese is out of here, it's screw this noise, I'm out. Yeah, we got that Postl sub coming next week. Oh my god. And you, you've been playing Super Mario Strikers, you want to, what, is it good? That's pretty good, it's more like a fighting game. It's more like a fighting game, because you just, you just kick the hell out of people to get near your ball. No, it's like, you have to basically, it's, you want to come on? Yeah, come on in real quick. This is VJ. All right. The VJ Carrots, how you pronounce it? What do you do, baby? Basically, it's like, it's not like a soccer game at all. You have to like, it doesn't even matter where you're at. Basically what you're trying to do is, um, allow yourself, but hold me, allow yourself to like, get these things called Megastrags, which are basically like super moves. So anywhere on, um, the other person's side of the field, if you can get there and like charge it up, then you'll go into like a cinematic sequence and we'll kick like six balls or up to six balls and the other guy, and it cuts to like a point of view of the goal and you have to like zap the balls before they go into the world. So you, is it good on the Wii? Yeah, it's good. You use it like, I mean, to move around, it's just like any other game, like on an old system of control stick, but I mean, it's pretty fun. You go into like a mini game and stuff. Yeah. So I mean, it's somewhat mini game stuff, but I mean, it's, it's pretty fun. So it's not really that much strategy as far as I play it in terms of hitting the ball in the actual goal. So I mean, it's almost like a basketball game, like it could be any game possible because like, I don't know, it's really weird. You have to, it's more like an action game than this would be. But you're into it. Yeah. Bring it over and we're going to play. Yeah. All right. There I am. We're going to bring it over and we're going to play. Well, it's got a online game. Oh, it does have online? Yeah. Have you tried it? Ooh. How is it? It's like the first Wii game with online. How is it? Yeah. It's actually, it's interesting because you can use it to like cheat at the game because like, okay. So I played one online match before. Right. I came here just because I, you asked me or whatever. And so what's weird is that to find other players at first, like you don't even use like your Wii code. First, you have to have the Wii code, then the game itself has its own individual code that you have to give to other people. And then. Well, that's frustrating. It's like two things just to find somebody, but if you play like a random person, and what it does is you find the random person and they'll tell you how fast a connection is. You'll be like, okay, this person has a four-star connection and I'll accept it or whatever. That's good enough for me. So basically, you go into the game and then what you can do is you can kind of like, I don't know, move your Wii or put something between your router and your Wii. And so whenever you get to the megastrive thing where you're shooting like six balls then, and the guy has to zap them, he can't move the controller fast enough. So I did that and I won of course. You like blocked? Yeah. You put something in there. No, I didn't do that. Like my connection went crappy or whatever, but I noticed that you could do it. You make it go crappy so that he has a hard time. Yeah, to block it because you can just like go like this and this and block them, but I mean if it's lagging, it's like really choppy and stuff, so I mean it's hard to miss it. That is this week's edition of Vijay Kair's cheat code because that is some dude. I do that. You're a cheater. Well, I mean it's not. That's some game genie bullshit. They don't want me to do it. They'd like put it out. What? Come to your house? No, it's not in the game. So I mean they got to think of stuff like that. Guys, game developers, Vijay is out there. He will hack the hell out of your game and he will make it not fun for anybody. I'm never playing you online ever. You are a cheater through and through. Whatever. That's why we like you Vijay. This is some cheat code stuff right there. We know some people who love video games. There's this show out of Canada called Pure Onage. It's these two dudes and they were messing around like we do and they grew like a cult following for their videos and it's all about video games. I've never heard of it really until I went to San Diego and shared a booth with these guys. So on the last day of San Diego, we got together and I interviewed them about their show Pure Onage. It's all about, they play characters. It's like friends. No, it's not. They gave me a DVD. I'm going to watch it. But it's a bunch of dudes. They play characters all involved in video games. You know how many, there's like the first person shooter guy, there's a person who likes the world playing that, everybody's a different character and it's like their whole interaction and it's like a soap opera. Oh my God. You can download it. That's a good idea. So they gave me the DVD and guys, I miss you already and they're Canadian and I knew Canadians were good in my book. Yeah. I'm leading the interview. Cool. Hey, man. Do the interview? Sure, man. Hey, man. I'm Jared. I'm Jonathan. This is my brother, Kyle here. Don't want to get microphone privileges. Hey, what's going on? We're all hanging out of the Divx booth here at Comic Con, San Diego, right? It's kind of my hood. You guys are from what? Toronto? Toronto, yeah, yeah, yeah. We drove down from LA. So welcome. Thanks, man. You guys are both the dudes behind Pure Onage. That is correct. This is Geekscape, welcome to our show. Hey. And our coast, baby. Awesome. I got to say, Toronto is one of my top five cities, man. I love that place. It's creative and the UN calls it the most diversified city in the world. It's very true. I didn't know that. That's absolutely true, my friend. Oh, you don't love your Canada. You don't know more than I do. That's great. I love it. Now you guys started the show how long ago? It's three years, I mean, it was, so just over three years. You guys just bored or what? How'd you get to start Pure Onage? Ah, well, we're just having some fun with the camera, right? And then we put the videos on the web and then people started watching them. You just described porn for a majority of people. Not that much fun with the cameras, right? So yeah. And we played a lot of video games. So we started doing the show about video games and Jared had this character called Jeremy that he made up and he started being him and people thought he was real. And yeah, we just roll with it. And maybe you want to say a bit about your character, Jeremy. I don't know. Go for it, baby. Well, how far is Jeremy from the actual truth of it? He's pretty far, man. I mean, Jeremy and I both play a lot of video games. We both really dig video games, but he's kind of an asshole a bit. And so, you know, he's just inspired by all the kids on internet forums that kick acid video games but haven't really mastered social behavior yet. So I was interacting a lot with these kids because I was playing games competitively and so we were taking some footage and it just kind of came out and it happened and I sort of just got into this character, put the footage online just because after it was edited, it was kind of funny, went viral and then all of a sudden the show was created by demand. Right. And now... You got to do more. And it's a job. And you play some characters on the show? Yeah, yeah. My character is Kyle. He's the cameraman. So he's always behind the camera and he's a part of the universe. It's kind of like a mockumentary thing where we walk around and I will talk from behind the camera and interact with the characters. And I'm kind of just this geeky film nerd that, you know, goes around filming his brother all the time because he's doing a documentary. Right. So... Now you guys hooked me up with a DVD. I'm going to wash it. Awesome. And I think I'm basically going to become a huge fan. Probably. I mean, we've all been at the booth selling our stuff, but if you guys got a chance to walk the floor, have you seen any new video games? Not really. I mean, it was a Donkey Kong competition, but I guess I played that like 20 years ago, so not as impressive. The king of Kong is a great one, you play video games and you're all about video game competition? No, it's pretty cool. There's no better movie than the king of Kong. I've seen it already. We've seen it twice. We had the main guy on our show. I'm pretty excited for Balls of Fury. I didn't even hear about that until just today. We interviewed him for the show as well. I'm a big ping-pong player, so I'm a Christopher Walken fan, so I'm pretty stoked about that. You're going to be a geekscape fan, my friend, because everything you just listed is something that we've covered for all our geeksapists. The most exciting thing for me was meeting Maddox, you know, the best page of the universe. Now you were telling me about that. What is this all about? This Maddox thing. He's just like he's the king. You guys left to go talk to him. Can I go talk to him? He's basically the funniest guy he has ever lived, so I finally got to meet him, and so it's cool. It's been an experience, man. We're never going to left this booth very much. This is like my fork. We've barely been at this booth. Yeah, that's true. But all our fans were taking up so much space, you guys can fit in right there, like they were mobbing me on the arrows. I think we had one fan come by. One fan. Oh no. That's one minute. Oh, one minute. Shit, you guys are pro men. It's like Cal doesn't give me symbols. Cal doesn't do this kind of stuff for me. All right. Well, that's how Gilmore rolls, baby. All right, man. Thanks so much, man. Good luck with the show. I love hanging out with you guys here in San Diego. We're like brothers now. We're going to miss you guys. You're going to miss? Absolutely. That's how we do it on the West Coast. We'll hang. We'll hang. Yeah, we'll totally. We'll chill, man. Chill. That's how I say. We'll play some Wii tennis or something. I love that Wii tennis. If you're on us dot com, spell it with a P because you're not a noob. So those are my new homies north of the border. I'll come visit you guys soon. We'll play online even though you guys will probably kick my ass. But in closing, we got to do forums. Forums this week, we're started by our forum member at geekscape.net on our forums. Depp Horitas. No. That's his name. Yeah. You know you're a geek win. There's some really good responses to this one. Our good friend Satori, he's another Canadian, he said, "You know you're a geek when you take your son to daycare and your geekscape shirt and feel like a wookie among ewoks because all the kids are at your feet going, "Ooh, ah." And that's what the Lord loves it. We're going to get you on here for an Ask Laura one day, but that's how you think when you're a geek. Like me, I'm like, "You know you're a geek when you put the ewok village only clause in your wedding preen up." Yeah. So, there's that. Thank you, Satori. You made Laura laugh. You're now officially funnier than I am. I haven't made her laugh in two years. Sloppy Bunny, he said, "You know you're a geek when you know more about cartoons than the 12-year-old you teach." Yeah. That's huge. That's huge. Yeah. That's a big one. Wookie wombat. Wookie, when you wave your fingers in front of an actual opening door to make it look like you're using the force every time. So, you go to a public building, or if you go to a supermarket, Laura is doing this right now. Wookie, I love you, baby. That's so funny because Wookie, I do that. I swear to God. I swear to God.
