Ingrid Trailer & 3rd Strike Returns?! 🔴Full Stream🔴 (4-2)
Chapters5
Host greets viewers, explains some tech hiccups, and sets up the night’s plan of trailer watching and retro game talk.
Maximilian Dood dives into Ingrid’s world-shattering trailer tease for Street Fighter 6 and riffs on 3rd Strike’s enduring heyday with nostalgic, candid fandom.
Summary
Maximilian Dood wastes no time turning Ingrid’s surprise teaser into a mini-debate about Street Fighter 6’s evolving lore, while also fielding a marathon of retro-game nostalgia. He contrasts Ingrid’s new, cosmic, reality-shattering design with her Alpha-era roots, speculating that the character could redefine how Street Fighter 6 handles story and powers. Throughout the six-hour livestream, Max hops from Ingrid to the Street Fighter 6 character roster, then pivots to a long-form fan-pestering love letter to the old-school 3rd Strike, relishing the tactile feel of parries, jury-rigged setups, and emblematic moments from the CPS3 arcade era. He even browses Fightcade, RPCS3, and the broader emulation scene to illustrate how classic titles remain vibrant communities years later. Between rants about Mario cinema, Star Fox in film, and the state of modern game trailers, the stream cements Max’s belief that great trailers are a craft—whether it’s real-time gameplay or CGI cinema. Ingrid’s teaser, for him, is less a full reveal and more a portal into what Street Fighter 6 could become: a game that embraces weird, otherworldly characters while maintaining a core fight-game pulse. The 3S nostalgia sections showcase Max’s knack for turning practice sessions into entertaining, teachable micro-essays on parries, timing, and the joy of landing a perfect sequence after years away. If you’re here for a deep-dan breakdown of Capcom’s multi-generational strategy and for the next megaton trailer drop to savor, you’ll feel right at home. This stream is as much about community, memory, and feeling as it is about the games themselves.
Key Takeaways
- Ingrid’s Street Fighter 6 trailer presents a radical, cosmic reinterpretation of the character, suggesting a new gameplay hook centered on reality-shattering abilities.
- Maximilian notes Ingrid’s design signals a deliberate departure from the ‘magical girl’ trope toward a godlike, celestial presence with world-warping potential.
- Street Fighter 6 stands out as a storytelling-friendly fighter, unlike the more skein-like approach seen in some previous entries, according to Max.
- 3rd Strike Online’s revival via Fightcade and RPCS3 remains a vibrant scene, with players actively matchmaking and labbing long-forgotten mechanics (parries, two-bar links, etc.).
- Max’s love of classic trailers—MK11, Smash, Tokon, and Street Fighter crossovers—underscores how high-budget cinematics shape reception even when the gameplay isn’t revealed.
- Enduring nostalgia for 90s-early 2000s fighting games is a throughline of the stream, with Max revisiting Third Strike’s execution, parry windows, and character matchups.
- Max expects future crossovers (e.g., Star Fox, Final Fantasy, and other long-awaited guests) to push contemporary fighters into new storytelling territory while honoring their roots.

Essential viewing for long-time fighting game fans who want a thoughtful take on Ingrid in Street Fighter 6 and a cathartic, memory-soaked reappraisal of Third Strike. Also great for streamers and trailer enthusiasts who care about game marketing, nostalgia, and community-driven revival scenes.

Transcending history and the world. A tale of dudes and souls eternally retold. Welcome back to the stories of history. We all need to shine to see how far we come on our journey. How far? Get to go searching for our far deep in the night. I pray in my heart for that special life to show me with love. Shower me with power to shove. Got to get the song to carry on. I can't imagine Yo, what's up, dudes? All right, chat. Sorry about that. A little late tonight. Had to get back from the movies and eat and all this stuff.
Hi. Um, yeah, we're going to have to uh Voice of God again. If I put my computer into sleep mode, I always get Voice of God. I always get Voice of God. Um, hold up. Again, we have to keep this on, right? This this leads to higher value of normal audio. What if it sounded like this all the time? Huh? What if it sounded like that all the time? God damn voice of God. Uh, anyway, hi. Hello. Hi. Yeah, so we're have to check out some Ingred stuff. She got a new trailer like randomly, like out of nowhere.
Um, and uh, [ __ ] What else? Did anything else happen? We got the invincible video that was up. Oh, I wanted to actually go back and check out Ingrid in Street Fighter um not Street Fighter Capcom Fighting Collection 2. So, what's wrong? Welcome back to the stage of history. Wait, wait. Wow. That [ __ ] is still on stage of history. That [ __ ] is still running, dude. Wow. Damn. That's crazy. That's what happens, you know. As a reminder, it's like I stop streaming, I leave this place, I go to sleep, and then I come back when I stream again.
Damn. Um, all right. ODZ, thanks for the tier three in 56 months. Damn, that's crazy. That's crazy. Killing the Earth with a Super Nintendo. I hate to break it to you, that doesn't have a lot of moving parts and [ __ ] It doesn't take that much to run it. um the electricity bill racking up. If I left, for example, if I left a uh a game on where it's like full rendling, full cudaoring everything, then yeah, it would be expensive, but a SNES, not much. Not much. Old old game hardware definitely did not uh take up that much.
Alpha 3, hell no. We got to play um Capcom Fighting Evolution, right? We got to play Capcom Fighting Evo. That's very important. It's very important. Welcome back to the I just want to see what it's like. I've never I've played her like once and I just want to like go through her story mode or something like that because she's this weird mystical creature now. Like I don't know. Like what the hell am I looking at? I have to check this out on stream. What the hell am I looking at? Uh so yeah, we'll check it out.
She's definitely weird. She's definitely weird. Uh Max, are you at your house? Is that an office space I'm using? Um, a little bit of column A, a little bit of column B. Yeah. Uh, SF6 today, maybe. I'm debating what I want to play. I'm debating. Did I finish Chocolate Island? I 100%ed uh the game apparently. I got every single exit. I didn't even intend to do that. But, um, yeah. Shockingly, this little niche hole in the wall cult classic game called Super Mario World is pretty good. Shockingly, that no one's ever heard of before or played.
I'm here to tell you guys that this little Super Mario World game's pretty good. It was uh not bad. I actually appreciated how trolly the game was. Almost like, dude, it was almost like the devs knew how important secrets were in old school games, like old era Nintendo games and [ __ ] How secrets were such a big deal. And this game does so many funny ass things with secrets and like like subverting your expectations all over the place, dude. Where like they'll have secrets, but not in the ways you think they do. And sometimes in ways that you think they would.
They make fun of you for thinking that. And I'm like, huh, weird. It's weirdly trolly, you know? It's kind of like, yeah, the birth of this Kaiso [ __ ] Actually, I don't think that's true. Super Mario Brothers 2 is the birth of that, right? Mario Bros. 2 is that [ __ ] because that that existed back on the Nintendo. Um, not the the not this Doky Doi Panic Game, whatever the hell it's called, the one that we got. No, no, no. The Lost Levels is like Super Trolly, you know. Um, that was the beginning of that. Yeah, I can see exactly why Mario Maker is all about that.
So, I can see exactly why um Mario Maker led into the Mario World functionality of it where it's like, okay, yeah, we're just going to have uh we're just going to have that be the basis of all the Mario Maker games. That makes sense, you know, which is why when you play like a Mario one level, it feels weird. I'm like, this doesn't feel like Mario 1. Feels like Super Mario World. Um, there's some troll in Mario 3. I have to go back and play it again. It's been a long time. Was the Mario movie rough to watch?
It It was a It was not really a movie. It was just things were happening. It was definitely funny. I really liked uh the first Mario movie. Um, I liked it. I I didn't I thought it wasn't perfect by any means, but I I looked at the first Mario movie and I'm like, "Bitch, that's about as good of a Mario movie you can make." You know? Like, I'll be completely honest. this is like about as good of a Super Mario Brothers movie you could make. Um, and even though credits didn't like it, it was like, yeah, it still connected with me because there was like still a somewhat cohesive story and, you know, all that kind of stuff.
Like I actually kind of dug the the first movie quite a bit. Um, so I was like, "Yeah, it's fine." I I've seen it a lot, too. I've seen it at least like 10 times, uh, weirdly enough, because I ended up downloading it, uh, when it came to like Apple TV and stuff, and Ripley liked watching it when she was younger. Um, so that one was like, yeah, it was it was a lot of like references and nods and things like that, but it was also like tolerable because it was it was telling a story.
It was at least trying to tell a story. Problem is the second movie is just not it's just not really trying to tell a story. Um, it's a lot of crazy references which makes it feel like it's for 30 to 40 year olds. Um, but then like just blitz creaking nonstop sequences. I can't even call them like scenes because scenes belong next to other scenes and they lead into things. They're sequences. Movie is just like sequences all over the place, man. It's really crazy. They look amazing. Um the Fox Star Fox is the I was like, "Please, dear God, let Star Fox show up eventually." Um and yeah, he does.
And he's awesome. Like he like damn, this this characterization is really cool. They don't give him anything cool to do with like he doesn't really get to like actually be really meaningful. He does he does things that you would expect him to do. And I'm like, "Man, he's really neat though." Uh, it made me just want a [ __ ] Star Fox movie so it can be focused, you know? It felt like the movie was trying to be so many things and it doesn't end up getting to be much of much of anything, you know? So, it is what it is.
Uh, a very pretty movie. Look, even better than the first one, you know what I mean? So, yeah. Spoilers. Not Star Fox ain't a spoiler. Uh, they spoiled you. He's been officially revealed. He has posters, all that [ __ ] That's why the Sonic movies are better. I haven't seen Sonic two and three, but if Simmons of all goddamn people um that hates like era modern era Sonic, uh like a seven out of 10, uh I give it like a five. I would never I would never watch it again. Um I wanted to watch the old the old Mario movie I would give like between a seven and an eight.
Like Mario uh Super Mario Brothers movie from like a few years ago, I give like a seven or an eight personally. This one I give like a five. Like at points I was like, I wonder what's on my phone. And and even even Ripley, funny enough, like she was even telling me, even though she likes the first one, she was like bored. She was like, "Dad, are we done?" I'm like, "What do you mean, are we done?" She's like, "We're kind of done. Can we go home?" And we're like halfway through the movie. And I'm like, and she just asked like every 15 minutes like, "Is it almost over?" I was like, it's funny that even like kids are not getting engaged by this.
And she even liked the first one. She's seen movies like The Wild Robot and things like that. She loves K-pop Demon Hunters. You know, it's funny. It's like I I don't buy the story where it's like it's a kids movie, you expect it to be good. And I'm like, [ __ ] like the first Mario movie was pretty good. K-pop Demon Hunters is a kids movie and it's really good. Um, Wild Robots freaking amazing. Like a ton of these ton of these films can be great like next to them being just good movies, you know? Um, and yeah, apparently like a lot of the Sonic movies are pretty good, you know?
So, yeah. Yeah. I just don't I had some great it did have some good sequences when m dude I think the music was honestly the best part. It was the part that did the most for me. Um and yeah having some cool star cool Star Fox music and [ __ ] was like also really cool. Also really cool. It's just it's not done in like meaningful ways. Things are just happening, man. It was weird. Things just [ __ ] happen. So anyway, it's fine. Some people will get enjoyment out of it. There's a there's a lot of throwbacks and nods for 30 to 40 year olds.
Um like a lot and it is what it is. It was just it was weird that me and me and JJ looked at each other after it was over and we're like, "Dude, um this makes the first one look like high art." And she's like, "I Yep." He's like, "Sarf Fox is cool." Like Starf Fox is really cool. He's extremely cool. Um [ __ ] Anyway, was it 30 full of kids or uh 30 to 40 year olds? Mostly mostly 30 to 40 year olds. Yeah, actually. Funny enough, actually. There was some kids, not a lot, but it was there was definitely like groups of folks that were either in their 20s or 30s or 40s.
Like, it's a Mario movie, dude. That that was the craziest thing is that I think like a lot of people like literally a bunch of 40year-olds are going to go to this film to see Star Fox. Like straight up, dude. And they're probably going to get their money's worth even though maybe be disappointed by like by how much he's utilized. But [ __ ] really cool. Like holy [ __ ] man. Really cool. Anyway, kids are being dragged to watch the movie with their parents. I don't know. I don't know. Either way, you got me. I I that's that's my recommendation is that if you uh if if you they did the barrel roll joke, I swear to God, three times.
There's there's a really good gag in the movie regarding Slippy that I thought was actually funny. And there's a sequence of Star Fox's intro that is like, "What the hell are we doing? This is crazy. This is so cool." And then it's over, you know? So, yeah. Yeah. I don't know, man. I don't know. You're planning to I was planning to drag your kids to go watch it. You'll probably have a good time. You'll probably have a good time, man. I just hope like for example, um I hope the Street Fighter movie isn't like this.
Little concerned about it because I'll be real this is kind of the issue that I had with even the Mortal Kombat movie. things just sort of happen and I'm like I'm not really getting attached to any character. I'm not really feeling any plight of a character in like the the first MK movie, which is why I'm a little concerned about Mortal Kombat 2. And Street Fighter is the most like one of the most like vapid story games you can possibly pull from. It literally is like tropes uh of characters fighting each other around the world.
It it it is it just pulling from other fiction and stuff like that, though. So, I'm like hopeful. I'm actually like I'm actually hopeful cuz there's not been a really good liveaction Street Fighter thing except the stuff that was made for like YouTube. Um yeah, I just want I just want to like give a [ __ ] Just want to care. Just want to like I want to be invested in characters when they are going through cool sequences. I want to I want to give a [ __ ] that they're that they are going through something or they want to come out the other end like different people or communicate information like all that kind of stuff.
That's like the stuff that makes the Matrix so goddamn good, you know? Um, anyway, it's all right. Like, I feel like there's definitely popcorn enjoyability for it, but man, I was I got uh if it wasn't for the the fact that it was like a Mario movie that was calling back to 30 to 40 year olds like myself, um, I got outside of that nostalgia factor, I think I got about as much enjoyment from the latest Mario movie as I did the Gabby Dollhouse movie. And funny enough, the Gabby Dollhouse movie that I saw with my daughter because she wanted to see it um was like half of it was kind of like a an actual story in a movie and then the other half was not and it was just like kind of lame and the parts of that movie uh that were not interesting.
The what? What do you mean the what? The Gabby Dollhouse movie. What? What the hell are you guys talking about? Uh right. We can't relate. Sorry. I'm just I'm just comparing it to something else that I have seen that was a a a movie. Um we're too old. Okay. So, the Gabby Dollhouse movie is a a kid show that's been going for like 10 years about it's pretty much PeeWee's Big Adventure with a little girl and cats, right? It's pretty much that. So, that's that's how I'm going to grab the the 30 to 40 year olds.
It's Peewee's Big Adventure, but it's for little girls and it's it's all about like a dollhouse with cats and a magical world, right? So, they made a movie out of it and it wasn't um the movie was okay because I saw it with my girl, but it was the parts where she got uninterested. It was the same parts I got interested. She was like engaged with it in the exact same moments I was kind of engaged with it and then it would do some weird thing where it's like the movie just goes off the rails for some reason.
And my my my daughter is like, "I'm kind of done." And I'm like, "Yeah, me too. Let's just wait." And then it would get a bit better later on. You know what the heck is Peewe's Big Adventure? A year in your 20s. Exactly. It's not for you, man. It's not for you. Um anyway, yeah, we'll see how it goes. See how it goes. Uh so I I like again I got the exact same vibes where it's like I got like the same feelings where it's like I enjoyed the Gabby's Dollhouse movies as about as much as this if it wasn't for all the cool nostalgia and Star Fox [ __ ] That was about the same thing, dude.
Anyway, writers thinks kids are dumb. I mean, that's the crazy thing is that like a lot of the movies that I loved as as a kid that really hit with me, uh, I would watch later and I'm like, "This is pretty good." And then some of them aren't. Uh, for example, I think the most the one that I always come back to that I remember loving as a kid and I come back and it just doesn't hit anymore was Secret of Nim. And I really love Secret of Nim as a kid. I come back to it and I'm like, "This movie is non [ __ ] sensical." Like, "What the hell's happening?" It's pretty.
It's cool. It's got amazing visual visual storytelling, but I I watched it again and it was like, "Wait, now there's magic." I thought it was like a science exper now there's magic. What the hell is What? It was just off the rails and I was just like, "This is weird." It's Don Bluth [ __ ] Yeah. And Don Bluth has this in a lot of his movies, you know, where it's just like it goes all over the place when it tries to do this [ __ ] That's you with Iron Giant. Really? Do you think Iron Giant was not as good?
I saw Iron Giant not when I was a kid. I saw it when I was like late teens, early 20s. The same thing with Prince of Egypt and I was blown the [ __ ] away by both of those movies. I watched Prince of Egypt on like HBO cuz it got out of theaters like real fast cuz no one went to go see it. Um, and I could not [ __ ] believe that movie, dude. Holy [ __ ] And then Iron Giant was also like mad good. Like, holy hell, dude. Prince of Egypt is incredible. That movie was [ __ ] amazing.
It is the weirdest movie to turn into like a full It it Prince of Egypt reminded me of um like why would they make this an animated story? Like this very interesting like this is such a choice. It's amazing. Uh what the hell was the the bell toss, right? The the dude in the bell tower. God damn it. What's that one movie? the movie they did after uh Hunchback of Notredam. Yeah, like Hunchback of Notredom also like a really crazy Disney movie. Is it really good? Ah, it is the darkest Disney movie ever, dude. It it's you're almost going to appreciate it for that reason, but it's almost like why would they adapt this?
Like, it's so weird. Like, why would they adapt this? And in that in those sense, I find those movies to be kind of similar where it's like, wow, they chose to animate this. This is this is nuts. And they thought it would be marketable. Like whoa. Um, so yeah, it's like I think in those two respects I really liked uh Prince of Egypt. It blew my [ __ ] mind. Like blew my mind. Did you like Treasure Planet? I love Treasure Planet. Jesus. Treasure Planet is um that came out right after what was the one that I found kind of forgettable?
Uh Atlantis. I seen the first like 15 30 minutes of Atlantis and I was like, "Ah, this is okay." Um, this is okay. And then, uh, the next one that came after, I was was immediately not super interested, but then I went to go see Treasure Planet, even though everybody was going to go see something else. It died in its opening box office weekend. Godlike, dude. I loved it. I loved the father-son story of that movie. It was awesome. It's such a cool film. Titan Titan AE is a thing I have not heard in a long time.
Uh, [ __ ] I remember liking Titan AE because it looks cool, but that [ __ ] sucks, man. That's It's barely a movie, dude. That [ __ ] sucks, man. Oh, man. It looks cool. It has a cool look, don't get me wrong. It's got a cool look. I liked it a lot when I was younger, but I don't think it's aged well. I was like uh a little uh I rewatched it as an adult and I'm like this [ __ ] is so ass. Oh, dude. Yeah. Yeah. Emperor's New Group. That movie is great. Emperor's New Group is just funny. It's just a great It's slapstick, right?
It's like literally Looney Tunes Disney, which is why it's hilarious. Um, Hercules is also really good, too. No, I like Hercules a lot. Osmosis Jones. I've seen it because it was also on HBO. Um, but yeah, it's fine. What about Bay Kids? Another very interesting movie for them to adapt into animation. [ __ ] Bay Kids. Anybody remember growing up with Bay Kids? I saw the movie a lot. Another HBO enjoyer, right? Um, and I remember not disliking it a ton. El Dorado's mad fun. That's a fun movie. Um, yeah. I'll And here's here's the crazy thing.
Here's where my brain goes, chat. I didn't vibe with the new Mario movie very much, but I'm wondering if kids and some others vibe with the Mario Galaxy movie in the same way that my old [ __ ] ass and young [ __ ] ass really vibe with the Transformers 86 movie. Cuz Transformers 86 is a breakneck film. Breakneck. But at least you know where we're going and why we're doing things for the most part, I think. So, Transformers 86 has some ballistic timing to it. Um, anyway, KH, thank you. Very relevant. Um, I love the [ __ ] movie. I love it.
It's But it also like I I feel like its moments are sick, dude. It was made to sell toys, right? But like there are really great moments in that film. There's like Optimus dies, right? the whole like planet of junk and [ __ ] like that with uh with weird owl music. I'm like I love that sequence, dude. That shit's mad. The sequence with like the 80s hair metal uh of like Cup and Hot Rod as he's getting as Cup is getting torn apart by all the squid robots and [ __ ] I'm like this is a cool [ __ ] uh the the the dudes that are trying to sink them and they're like guilty or innocent and they're just like talking [ __ ] to them and they're like dump them.
I'm like, I'm like, "These scenes are cool, man. These are some [ __ ] cool." And then the music's amazing. I don't know, man. I think I'm I'm reliving Transformers 86 in my head, and I'm like, "This shit's kind of still pretty good." And then like the the giga moment, which is uh Unicron becoming an actual planetized [ __ ] like like Decepticon, Autobot, Transformer. Like the that scene is godlike. The scale of that scene is super sick, dude. It's like, "What the [ __ ] is this? Well, you telling me it actually turns into Oh my god, what the shit?" So cool.
Really cool. Akira, I love Akira, but it's nonsensical. Is Akira's hard as [ __ ] to follow, my dude. You need to watch it like three or four times. And that's because it's it it was a movie made into an made into a film. I'm sorry. It's a manga made into a film when like the manga was like oneird one half done. Um, yeah, it's like the beginning of the story for the most part. Uh, but still it's I love it. Like visual visually, I can't [ __ ] believe Akira. It's insane. It's the most goddamn money ever put to page you've ever seen in uh in an animated feature.
It's like the most you it'll blow your goddamn mind. Red line. Red line's just great. No, Red Line is just Red Line is just great. If you want uh if if you want an F-Zero movie, it's called Redline. Yeah, it killed the studio. That's the problem. It'll kill the goddamn studio. What other things are um like good when you're young and they don't age very well? I'm wondering trying to like think in my head what has not aged like super well. Tron is pretty boring. Um the mask. No, the Bask is great. No, no, no.
I That movie is great. All the goddamn jazz and trumpets and all the music in that film is incredible. TMNT07. I wonder how the original Masters of the Universe movie is cuz there's the new one coming out. The trailer looks okay. Uh, and I'm not a bit I'm not a big He-Man guy, but I'm kind of curious if I go back to the old Dolph Lungren. Was it Dolph Lungren? Masters the the Masters of the Universe movie from the '8s. Remember like the set design and [ __ ] like that looked really cool. Uh but yeah, it's Is it cheeks?
Is it cheeks? I remember the the hover bike sequences. I remember some things, you know. It's horrible. It's horrible. Robbo. Robocop just got better as an adult. Oh, that is a good example. Um, Robocop 3 I remember liking a lot as a kid. Mostly because of what Robocop does, what he does. That [ __ ] sucks, man. That's like the worst one. Uh, I also remember being terrified of Robocop 2. Like, Robbo 2 scared me. Like, I I was seeing it as like a nine-year-old or something like that and I I would watch it on TV. That movie is actually scary as [ __ ] dude.
It's a horror movie. Like, it's it's the Cane movie. Yeah, it's [ __ ] crazy, dude. Uh I I like Yeah. No, this [ __ ] is legit scary. It's creepy. This guy's out here like murdering everybody and hunting kids and [ __ ] like that. I'm like, Jesus, man. Uh the brain scene is super scary. Like, whoa. yeah. So, I still think Robocop 2 is good. Robocop 1 is just timeless. It's timeless. Um, the weirdest part is that, and here's the thing, it also went right over my head of what Paul Verhovven does with his films. When you watch Robocop, like when I was younger, that went right over my head.
the same thing with Starship Troopers because it was like, "Oh yeah, it's a big uh space action kind of uh space action like bug slaying movie. Cool." You know, and and we sort of played it off as that, right? And we're like, "Yeah, that is what it is." Just like the guy that made Robocop. Like, yeah. And like you get a little bit of age on you and then you see what he's actually going for. And yeah, they're they're extremely um satirical movies of like America. They're all like super satirical of we're just too young to understand like and to understand like what that is and like what the what the filmmakers are actually trying to say and [ __ ] like that.
It's afraid like Yeah. Yeah. You know, I I have not seen I have not seen Starship Troopers since then, but I'm assuming it would also be pretty interesting. You know, Jurassic Park. Oh, well, Jurassic Park is actually [ __ ] timeless because it's legit film making. But I had this conversation a few times on stream after I watched it. It was a couple years ago. I had seen and I liked this movie. I thought it was okay. Um, did you see Project Hail Mary? Did I like it? So, keeping the thought in hand, uh, yeah, you need to go see Hail Mary immediately.
It's actually incredible. Also, um, most of the Mario movie has pushed Hail Mary out of the big screens, so you need to go see it as soon as [ __ ] possible, as soon as it before it before it's gone. Uh, and for those of you that don't know what the hell Project Hail Mary is, I'm going to I'm going to tell you in like a few words, if you're between the age, you have to be you have to be over 40. I'm just going to say this. You have to be over 40. Um, Project Hail Mary is the modernday Flight of the Navigator.
And for anybody that grew up in the 80s or 90s, you know what that movie is most likely. There's a good chance that you watched it or you saw it on like Disney or or or uh or TV in some way. It is absolutely the modern day Flight of the Navigator. It's [ __ ] awesome. It's so good. You need to go You need to go watch it. You need you need to go into a theater and watch that [ __ ] dude. It's so good. Anybody anybody that's anybody has ever heard of Flight of the Navigator as a kid loves that [ __ ] movie.
I'm the same way. Like no, it's such a niche film, but like it went to VHS for super cheap and it was on TV all the time. So a lot of kids when we were watching TV, it was on so we would always watch it and [ __ ] like that. Uh please, you'll [ __ ] love it. You will [ __ ] love it. Um, anyway, I saw Jurassic Park 2 a couple years ago. I'm gonna I'm gonna get to that. Thank you, John Boy. Thank you, Cloud. Jurassic Park 2 [ __ ] sucks. It's old now, so we can be honest.
All right. There is no defense force like there is for all modern movies and [ __ ] like that. People just saw a thing and they're really into it, so they want to defend it. I get it. But it's old now, dude. Like I remember liking it kind of where it's like yeah it's a fun movie with some like cool sequence. That movie [ __ ] sucks dude. Holy [ __ ] Like it's got dinosaurs and some good stuff in it but like it was so unsatisfying of a movie. It was so unsatisfying. Like weirdly like and I don't even mean like goofy little individual things like so like reverse.
They just they just turned the dinosaurs into movie monsters straight up. Like they're not even interesting anymore. They don't add anything interesting to any of the new dinosaurs in any way. We're just going to turn them into like literal running movie monsters. Like they just all become Jason. And I'm like, uh, yeah, they're all slasher villains. Thank you. I'm trying to figure out the term for it. I'm like, this sucks. This really sucks, man. It's not the worst one, though. I mean, we're not even going to talk about the Jurassic World movies. Um, but yeah, like nah, there's only one good Jurassic Park movie.
Yeah. Yeah. I really didn't like it. I haven't seen three in forever, so I don't know. I'd have to see it again. Um, what's another one? I was seeing some good ones. Johnny 5. I want to see Short Circuit again. I really do. I'm curious if it's good. Now, Demolition Man is godlike. I I watched it when COVID was starting. It was just rand it got added to HBO Max and it was just on. I was like, "Fuck it. I'm watching Demolition Man." Still good. Still good. Uh I I will defend it, dude. What about the Final Fantasy movie?
Uh it sucks now and it sucks when it came out. Me and Simmons went to go see that in an empty goddamn theater and we're like that wasn't that good. Like like that. What? What happened in that movie? I don't know. I don't know. It looked very expensive, though. Jesus, man. Rocky movies. Uh, best Rocky movie is the one with um Drago. What's his name? The the Russian dude that kills Apollo Creed. That one's That one's really good. Rocky 4. [ __ ] really good. Oh, the Fifth Element goated [ __ ] I [ __ ] love that movie, dude. I The the Fifth Element is 90s Star Wars.
And like you're going to say, "But Max, Star Wars did come back in the '90s, right?" And it was not really Star Wars. It was something different. The Fifth Element really feels like this is Star Wars for the '90s. I love that goddamn movie, dude. The music, some of the scenes in that film, even like Bruce Willis, it's one of my favorite roles of his, man. like and Leelu as a character. Super cool, dude. What a cool goddamn movie. Sci-fi die hard in a way. I wanted to go see it in theaters again, dude. Freaking Gary Oldman's character and everything.
Gary Oldman's good in everything, you know. Practical effects all over the [ __ ] place, dude. So good. Escape from LA. I had so like I I didn't see Escape from New York, right? So I wasn't like aware of that. So, I saw Escape from LA cuz I had a friend of mine that was like an art friend in in high school. We always we the guys that were draw we were we were artists, right? So, we would draw all the time and he just loved Escape from LA. He [ __ ] loved it. He's like Snakeliskin is the coolest character ever.
And even when I saw I didn't see Escape from New York yet. I just saw the LA one where he like surfs the big wave. Um, I'm like this movie feels like it's trying very hard to be cool. Like it feel I don't I don't know if it's cool. Like and I remember feeling that way where I'm like I don't know if this movie is cool. It's trying very hard to be cool and I don't know if it's working or not and I don't think it is. Maybe the maybe the old movie's cool. Like I didn't have an easy way to like watch the old movie, you know.
U but it did not seem necessarily that cool. It did not. So I don't know if I Escape from LA really vibes with me. Oh, bro, you got you got me on one, dude. You got me on one. Um, I don't know if what I feel is true because it has been so goddamn long since I have seen this film, Last Action Hero. I remember really liking it as a kid. Like, I I watched that movie a lot. I really like Last Action Hero as a kid. I need to go back and see if it is any good.
I really don't know because people really did not like it when it came out. Um I gotta go back and check. It's terrible. It's still good. It's fun. Yeah, I got I got to see. Maybe it's even funnier with age. I don't know. It's the Roger Rabbit of action movies. Well, Roger Rabbit's really [ __ ] good. Um the reason Roger Rabbit's good is that it's a noir uh noir spy thriller, right? Not spy thriller, but a a noir um mystery thriller. which is which is neat. If anything, um, [ __ ] Roger Rabbit sets up for Zootopia uh, as far as like you can make like an animated movie that does this kind of story in a really captivating way.
And it let it it sets up Zootopia 1 and two to do that because their their narratives are kind of similar where it's all about like a mystery being solved with a very uh with a very eccentric backdrop of like animated characters or you know that kind of [ __ ] I mean Chip and Dale good point. I haven't seen a lot of Chip and Dale much less movies but good point. Um yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Poltergeist is go to film. No, Poltergeist is amazing. That shit's great. There's nothing There's nothing wrong with it. Welcome back to the stage of There's legit nothing wrong with it.
Um, Space Jam. I like Space Jam a lot growing up, but I don't know if it's good. It's been way too long since I've seen it. Mortal Kombat movies, MK95 is still good, dude. It's still good. Maybe that's one thing that was really missing in the latest Mario movie was that it doesn't have like the sense of discovery that the first Mario movie had, the first CG Mario movie had where like Mario is like fish out of water. So he he isn't like connected back to reality in some way. No, he's completely disconnected like that.
That [ __ ] is gone. Or it's like, huh? No. True Lies is just amazing. It's actually just amazing. Yeah, TMNT was not really for kids when you think about it. It was more for teens. No, TMN TMNT was designed for kids because TMNT took the blueprint of Batman 89, which exploded, right? Like if you if you did not live in that time frame to understand what the summer of ' 89 was like when the Batman movie came out, my dude, that [ __ ] took over the world. uh was in it was insane. Bat mania, my dude. So TMNT1 really looked at, okay, so can we do to Ninja Turtles what they did to Batman?
Because as a as a reminder, the the large perception of what Batman was before that was literally the 60s [ __ ] Like I get it. Batman comics had like a dark gritty style. I mean, I get it, right? But what what we thought in our heads Batman was was Adam West. That's what we all like I liked Batman before the Batman movie and it was the Adam West stuff. So what Tim Burton did to Batman was he completely reinvisioned that [ __ ] where it's like okay so what if I did my own take on it and then the Ninja Turtles movie does the same thing.
Let's do our own take on this [ __ ] too. TMNT is the exact same way. Like the comic books are gritty and brutal, but not a lot of people knew the source material at all. So, the perception of Ninja Turtles is that it's a light, fluffy kids animated TV show, just like how Batman was sort of a light, fluffy live action Adam West Batman thing, right? Anyway, TMNT does the same [ __ ] and it's actually a pretty good movie. Like, it's not bad. Spawn movie. All right. So, as a big fan of Spawn, as a big fan of Spawn, and I I was a pretty spawn mania was also a thing that existed in the '9s.
That [ __ ] sucked. Uh that that [ __ ] that [ __ ] sucked. Sorry. Uh I wanted to like it a lot. John Lake was probably the best part of the film. That Spawn movie is not good, dude. It is not. Um, so much so that within a a comparable amount of time after Todd goes out and makes an animated show on HBO that literally is like kind of an apology for the movie. Am I thinking of this wrong? This this happens a bit later. The cartoon on HBO which is very dark and very violent and it's I I swear to God the the animated cartoon is almost more dark and violent than the own than the [ __ ] comic man.
Um even so the HBO show was before the movie was it? I can't remember the one with Keith David. Yeah. Uh, I remember like even liking that [ __ ] but so much of so much of the animated show is Spawn brooding. And it it is it is what he does in the comics, don't get me wrong. That [ __ ] broods a lot in like the first 25 issues of Spawn, my dude. He broods. He just sits on [ __ ] and aura farms and he broods. Like it is the nature of the character. I get it. It works on the page, but in a show it's rough.
Like it's not doesn't make for a super interesting show. I remember there's one episode where he has to kill vampires and I was like, "Oh, this is the best episode." There's one where he like there is like vampires in the city or some weird [ __ ] like that. And it's a legit really cool episode. And in that one, I I remember even recording a lot of these and I kind of just stopped recording them because I'm like, "These aren't that good." And then finally a cool episode happened where respond had to fight vampires. I'm like this one's kind of neat.
This is kind of an interesting story. Um the movie came out after the HBO show. The HBO show came out in May. The movie came out August of 97. Really, man? It's weird how like cuz the show is the movie is so disconnected from Spawn in many ways. Like they really try to they really try to make it more marketable. Um, and then the show is just so directly like Todd's vision, you know. Funny. That's funny. No, Blade was always good. Yeah, Blade's always been great. Gargoes, though, now Gargoyles, I I'd imagine still holds up pretty good.
About Cool World, I like Cool World. I mean, I liked it, but it's an edgy ass [ __ ] movie for Edgelords. It's an edgy ass movie, dude. It's weird. pencil dick. Gargoyles definitely still holds up. Yeah, I would like to see modern day take on Gargoyles. I'd like to see that. Some great characters in there. Predator 2. I still stand Predator 2. I love that [ __ ] movie. I love it. It's much closer to a Robocop. It's like satirical LA, but it it Here's the funny thing. Predator 2 is trying to make a satirical Los Angeles uh future future Los Angeles without any message, right?
Like it, you know how like Paul Paul Verhovven, is that the right is that the right name? Um he's creating satire to send a message, right? Like the whole point of like Robocop and its message is that even if you die, you're still going to work for the corporation type [ __ ] like there's a lot of cool subliminal messagery going throughout all that movie which makes it so longlasting. Um, and the same thing even with like uh even with his future movies, but Robocop Predator 2 tries to be Robocop in all like the funny ways but not in like the storytelling ways.
But it's still pretty good. I I liked Ro I like Predator 2 a lot, man. I grew up with it, too, so that kind of helps. But I think Predator 2 is really fun. Predator does some badass [ __ ] in that movie, dude. Holy hell. He's so neat. Yeah, dude. They That movie feels sweaty as [ __ ] That Predator 2 might be the sweatiest [ __ ] movie ever in human history. Like I What movie is sweatier than Predator 2? And for anybody that's seen it, you know exactly what I'm talking about. That movie is sweaty, bro. like it.
The entire point of it is that it's supposed to be it's supposed to be set in a extremely dank, super hot, humid Los Angeles. So, it is very like it is dank. Like it is actually sweaty as [ __ ] dude. Like characters every every character just has pit stains and here and the backs of them. People are literally sweating through their double layer jackets and [ __ ] like that. It is nuts. It's nuts. Die Hard 3. Predator 2 is sweatier. Die Hard 3 is also amazing. I [ __ ] love that movie. anyway, I like what Pred uh I like the character they gave the Predator in Predator 2.
That's why I really appreciate it. Uh, Cloud, thank you. 2004 Van Helsing. I never even saw it. I did not see it. Um, Asinator, thanks for the five. Did you see Mark's movie Iron Long? I saw it twice. Incredible Cosmic Horror. No. Uh, no, I didn't. I have not seen it. I don't see a ton of movies. Not a ton, but I I'll go out and see a few. I really I [ __ ] loved Hail Mary, man. Like, what you know what bugs me, Chad, is that like I'll see a lot of movies now. Like, remember when everybody was like standing the [ __ ] out of the Fantastic 4 movie, which I thought was just like come like it was a film.
I did not feel much like out of the Fantastic 4 movie a year ago. And for some reason people were just like viciously defending it and I was just like it exists like it's fine. Um but I immediately thought of like several things like you can just I hate the feeling of when you leave a film you can think of like four things that would have made this way better. Like why do they do that when they could have just done this and it would have been more interesting? Why do they do that when they could have done this?
Like I hate that feeling. I can't stand it. Where we're where like I don't I don't want to feel smarter than the filmmakers. I want to be sent to the the world that they're creating, you know? So, it's like you once you instantly start nitpicking things as you're watching the movie or right as soon as like you leave it, it's like I hate that goddamn feeling, dude. I do not like it. So, the only movies where it was like I I would I would barely change anything or I just was like transported and had a great [ __ ] time was Predator Badlands and Hail Mary.
I just Predator Badlands. I just it had me throughout like the majority of the film. Very few times was I ever like not committed to what's happening on screen and I was like this is just a good [ __ ] fun movie. This is a fun ass movie. And Hail Mary was like the other one where it's just like godamn this I'm just being I'm just going for a ride here dude. This is so good. This is so good. Not Avatar 2. No. Avatar 2. I definitely felt that way. I did not feel that way with Avatar 3.
I definitely did not. Definitely did not. Uh yeah, I'm I'm the guy that likes the Blue Cat People movies, right? I really like Avatar 1 and 2, like a ton. Uh my [ __ ] ass did not like Avatar 3. I honestly think Avatar 3 might be James Cameron's worst movie, not including Piranha 2. I really didn't like it, dude. I I would prefer to watch almost any other of Jim's movies than Avatar 3. Did not like it, dude. Was not I was not a big fan. I I saw it once and I did not feel like I wanted to see it again.
I'm like, maybe my mind will change if I see it again. I don't know, dude. I don't know. I don't know. It was weird. It was weird. It was weird feeling like I was watching the same goddamn film again, you know? too fasttracked. I don't know if it was fast-tracked as if it's it its story sucked. Like, it had some great moments with characters, but the story sucked. It just felt like it felt like Avatar 2.5. Yeah, it felt like we got an Avatar 2 expansion pack. Didn't like it, dude. I did not like it.
Um, do you think video game movies are getting better over the decades or the qualities of the movies stay the same? Uh, they're definitely getting better. I I definitely think they're getting better. Like like ju as an example, I think the Mario movie, the first one, the CG one, is about as good of a Mario movie you can make. I'll be real, the Sonic movies are pretty beloved. They're making like a fourth one right now, dude. Um, they're good. They're like, they're definitely getting much better because they're made by people that kind of care. And it was pretty clear that even in the latest Mario movie, even the script the script didn't really give a [ __ ] very much.
But like in terms of the visuals on display on an animation level, it's insane. It's so pretty. Yeah. Fallout has a great TV show that people love. Yeah. No, like that [ __ ] this [ __ ] is hitting. Doesn't change the fact that like the best video game movie for the longest time was pretty much Mortal Kombat if we're not counting animation franchises have way more material to draw from. That's a good point. That's a good point. GI Joe and Top Gun thoughts. I wasn't a big G.I. Joe kid. I like Transformers and stuff, bro. Transformers one. My god, dude.
That movie was [ __ ] great. I didn't like the visual aesthetic of the film. I think it was animated well, but visually like I did not like the designs of some of the characters very much. Bay former. No, the the latest animated Transformers movie that like that like broke even. Omnicide. Thank you, dude. Nah, we're talking Mortal Kombat from 1995. Yeah, 95 MK. Damn, Momite. Thanks for the tier three, dude. Transformers 1 was a legit really good story. Uh like the the fact that they the origin story of Optimus and Megatron. Really [ __ ] cool. This is really cool.
You know what I deeply appreciated about Transformers 1 chat? There was like I a countless amount of opportunities for that film to have called back to and have pulled from and to relive Transformers 86 and they could have done it so many times and they didn't like the whole movie that I was just waiting for the moment of like, okay, so here comes the you got the touch moment right here. Here it comes. It's going to it's going to happen at some point. Here comes the you got the touch moment. It never [ __ ] happened. I was like blown away.
I was like, "Holy [ __ ] they did not." And the fact that like what they made did not need to. They did not need to pull back in the nostalgia and like this is for the 40-year-olds that like Transformers. They did not do that. They just had their own thing that just like literally Yeah. stood on its own merits. It was like [ __ ] this. This movie was great, dude. Holy hell. Yeah. The marketing killed the movie. It was amazing. It was super good. I saw Bumblebee. I did not like it. It was good for like a little bit and then it I just they just lost me.
And now Alien Earth. No, no, we not we don't we don't talk about Alien Earth around here. We don't Alien Earth is not a thing we talk about. No, no, no. We don't talk about Alien Earth around here. Uh X-Men 97. I think X-Men 97 is better than the old X-Men show. Straight up. I think it's I think it's just better. [ __ ] Alien Earth, dude. What about the three Back to the Future movies? Um, I like them all, but Back to the Future 1 is arguably the best movie ever made. I I feel that way.
Like, I still feel that way. I find that I find that movie still unbelievable that it that it exists. I It's insane to see like all these movies flop and do all this [ __ ] and try to tell these stories and do all this stuff. I cannot [ __ ] believe how good Back to the Future one is. I It's nuts. Like I I even look at it with a really critical eye and it still blows my [ __ ] mind. Like not a single goddamn frame wasted, dude. I'm like this movie is insane. Like every single time I watch it, the part the the part where Doc is sitting there and he's climbed the thing and like he's trying to connect the cable and [ __ ] and Marty is just smashing his head against the car because the car will not turn over.
The car is like plotwise is reliably unreliable. And then all of a sudden in the key moment that he needs it to work, it finally works and he [ __ ] goes and the music kicks in like this is the best [ __ ] movie ever made. This is the best [ __ ] movie. I don't believe this [ __ ] dude. [ __ ] makes me cry. It's so good. I can think of it in my head and it's still good. It's peak. It's actually peak. Um, very few movies are able to like take the sum of its parts and put them together in a way that makes it all feel like, god damn, this is coming together perfectly.
Just perfectly. Did you see the musical? Uh, no. No, I didn't. You watch Speed Racer? I have seen Speed Racer. Yes, I watched it um with no visual effects. With like 98% missing visual effects. I watched it on the Warner Brothers Studio lot with no visual effects. And that movie is an entire visual effect movie, right? It was literally actors on green screen with like basic backdrop. That's how I saw it. I loved it. I thought it was super good. Like even from like a storytelling perspective, I still really liked it. Like, and that was my thing that I I actually loved the characterization and [ __ ] like that.
I saw an early cut of it. So, I was one of like the test audiences for that film and I was like, I really liked it. I don't think I needed uh visual effects to sell this stuff. I didn't Your dad No, no, no. This was uh another friend of ours. Yeah. Yeah, my dad only worked on the lot for so long. He just worked in one department. VFX is actually groundbreaking. I still never seen the movie with with visual effects. I've never seen it. I I I did not feel the need to because I I thought it was great.
I already thought it was great. That was the cool part about the um that was the cool part about storytelling in movies. Like that's the funny thing. I I I I find that example also applies to fighting games, weirdly enough, where when you're really into fighting games, there's a funny thing that happens. The graphics go away like really fast. Like almost within a few a play session, a few hours, like I'm not kidding you, the graphics disappear and you're just like engaging with the game as a video game. They help if they're not there. something feels like it's severely missing.
But even in the case of me watching that speedrunner movie, no graphics, right? All story. You're pretty much you're pretty much playing watching this just for the story. That was the same thing that kind of happened. Like I was just enthralled by the the moving forward progress of the plot, the characters, what's happening, all that kind of stuff. I did not need the visuals to be there to tell the story better. The story was good. In the same way that like when you got when you get a good fighting game Yeah. like the visuals kind of go away and you're just playing the game, you know?
So anyway, it's interesting. It's definitely interesting. Like NBCI 100%. And that in that in that benefit like in the games benefit, yeah, MVCI ugly as [ __ ] I'm usually thinking of games that look [ __ ] amazing that actually look super cool. Um and then even the super cool graphics kind of go away when you're like fighting people and [ __ ] like that, but MVCI was the opposite. Yeah. ugly as [ __ ] game, but I love playing it so much that the shitty ass visuals eventually went away. Anyway, uh man, so yeah, uh Mario movies fine. I I did not vibe with it very much.
I thought the old one was a lot better, like a lot better. But I I can see how there's a lot of cool throwbacks and stuff like that for 30 to 40 year olds that that will have fun with it. It I I I do think that if you're expecting a Mario Galaxy film out of this, you will be severely disappointed. Like holy [ __ ] It has so little Mario Galaxy in it that is kind of nuts that they called it this and they chose to go in this direction. Like it's really it's not a it's not a galaxy movie.
It's not like it's very weird. It's barely an adaptation. Like it just it it almost like tries to avoid doing that. Like it's bizarre. It's bizarre that we all expected them to go the Mario World route because Yoshi was going to be involved in stuff like that to make that like one thing and then move forward like 20 more years or some [ __ ] and then we're doing this now. It's like, oh, okay. It's pretty much in name only. And I feel like the galaxy thing is just a backdrop to include as much crazy [ __ ] as possible.
Like that's it. Like to put as many references all over the place. It's like it's what enables Star Fox to be in the movie. It's what enables a bunch of character references to be in the movie. It feels like it's there just as a tool for like trailer [ __ ] I'll be real. And and I feel like if you like the Mario cuz Mario Galaxy probably has the most narrative of any Mario game. Um if you're looking for that, you'll be really disappointed. If you don't care about that and you just want to go have fun, yeah, you can have fun.
You can have fun. Think we're getting a Smash Brothers movie? Yeah. Uh, I mean, do I think it's going to happen? I think that'll eventually happen. Even if even if Miiamoto's saying it's not happening, I'm like, bruh, bruh. Uh, still, I hope it's not written by the same people. Everything in the movie is great except the writing. Like the camera work, the art direction, the animation, the performances are also really good, too. Just get a different writer. Somebody needs to write a different story for Christ's sake. I don't get it. It's confirmed that's not going to happen.
Right. Miiamoto said it's not going to happen. I believe him. Miiamoto always is a man of his word. that guy was literally like he he literally had a quote. Miamoto's crazy, dude. This dude had a quote where he's like, "Now that Mario has finally been in two movies, he he's like, Mario finally feels like a real character." Almost like he needed a movie to do that and not like 40 years of games. Like it was a weird quote where it's like what the what like it was a very weird quote something recently that he said and he's like he's like yeah Mario feels like a real like a real man like a real character like or something like that and I was like this is a weird thing to say and almost like disregarding all the games and things like that like I'm wondering if it's a mistransation or something like that makes you feel like I don't get It's some investor pleasing thing.
Yeah, something like that. I don't It's not even arrogant. It's It No, it felt like it literally is disconnecting itself from what it is like and what it has been historically, you know, like what this is and what it what that enables the character to be. Now that he's in a movie, a h a big Hollywood movie, you know, it's like they get a taste of the Hollywood pie and it just completely changes their, you know, their connection. I don't know, man. So, anyway, yeah, Miiamoto's weird, though. He hates story in games. He's he's he's like that.
He hates story in games, dude. Like, he tries aggressively to go out of his way to to remove story from games. He hated the the director of Mario Galaxy had to go through like literal side doors and [ __ ] to get more text of story into Mario Galaxy. This is the thing I've heard from Simmons for years that Yeah, Miiamoto hates story. He hates it when like you you talk about story and [ __ ] like that. I think it was Kisumi that had to do that or some some one of the directors. Anyway, um yeah, he treats he treats games like toys.
Yes. Which is why he always has seen Mario like a toy and now that he's in a movie, he's like a real character. Like that that kind of thing, you know? This is why I didn't expect a good story from this movie. Well, I mean, the first one was serviceable. You can you could say that the Mario one story is serviceable. That has some good themes in it. It's got this theme of like this brotherly theme of like, you know, Mario always sticking up for Luigi. That carries throughout the whole film and it like pays off in the end where Luigi like does shut [ __ ] and stuck sticks up for his brother.
It's like, yeah, there's some good story. There's some good movie [ __ ] in here. Yeah. And then they did the same thing. They did the exact same thing for uh I that's actually kind of a spoiler. They did the same thing for some other characters in the second movie, but without any of like enough backstory to make it feel worth it. It's weird. They they had there was too many references, dude. There was just they they had to get the shot of this, they had to get the shot of that, you know? They had to get this action sequences.
They had to get that action sequence. That's just the way it is. Oh, no. The everything with Star Fox is wonderful. Every single scene Star Fox is in. It's great. It makes the price of admission. Straight up. It just makes the price of admission, bro. Like, if you Everything with him is cool. Is mad cool and it's funny as [ __ ] He has some of the best lines as well. That is also a weird thing. Star Fox had some really funny lines, but the movie was never made me laugh. That's weird cuz the first one did.
I actually got some laughs out of the out of the first Mario movie. For some reason, this one was kind of unfunny to me. Uh, I just realized that I never really laughed except like maybe one. Jack Black was also very funny in the first one. This one a maybe once I kind of giggled. And then Fox got a couple of good laughs. Even my even my even my theater didn't laugh very much. Weird. Oh, thank you. one reference. I'm not going to spoil the reference, but yes, I did laugh at one reference. You I forgot that happened.
Yeah, because it's a it's a throwaway It's a throwaway just one-time gag for the most part. Yeah. Yeah, I I definitely laughed at that. Either way, it's funny. It's like It's interesting. That's my opinion on the movie. I give it like a five. Um I thought the first one was pretty good. I did not I did not like the second one that much. The star [ __ ] up is cool though. Your Mario stream was so good it's not even funny. Thank you. Um if you want more of that and you didn't experience it all before, I played Mario 64 for the first time like 3 years ago.
The full playthroughs up on YouTube. It's like a like a 10-hour movie. You adore the Mario movie as an artist? I do too. Yeah. I I feel like I honestly feel pissed off as an artist because I feel like the story and the characters let the art down. You know what I mean? Where like art can service uh the storytelling and really elevate it, but when the story is not there, it feels like, man, these people work their [ __ ] asses off on this film and it's just vapid as [ __ ] you know? It's just like people work so hard on this and it's just like man.
Okay. Man, I am legit really excited about a Star Fox game potentially happening this year and his characterization and because again, since Fox is very cool in the movie, he's got a much different character than he historically has had. I am really curious like man, what could you do with a Star Fox character like a modernized Star Fox? Would you do anything with him or would you just play him straight like he's always been played? Would you do anything with him? You know, I don't know. I don't know. Star, let's just do Star Fox 64 again.
Chat bets. Should we put gift sub bets down? Give sub bets if there's a new Star Fox game coming out this year and it's just Star Star Fox 64 again. Uh, you know what? That's not even Star Fox 64. That's also [ __ ] Star Fox cuz Star Fox 64 was also a remake of SNS Star Fox. It all starts on Corneria and you get down there and you do the thing and then you go up to the same [ __ ] places. Like they've remade the game like what four or five times. Star Fox Zero is the same [ __ ] It's like they said it's a sequel game.
Okay. Okay. Well, maybe it is. That Thank God. Thank Christ. Yeah, Assault was different. Don't get me wrong, that was that was different. Star Fox 3DS was also kind of a remake. Yeah, it's crazy. Like, it's crazy. You know what? Uh, there was a a hint that it could also be a multiplayer game, and I don't want like all range mode multiplayer. Chat, could you [ __ ] imagine if they did a fourplayer Star Fox game? Could you [ __ ] imagine that [ __ ] dude? History where one each each person can either play the game like by yourself or everybody can take Slippy and Toad and everybody and Falco.
Like that would be [ __ ] cool. That'd be [ __ ] really cool with online. Yeah, like it's a co-op game. Like it's an actual co-op game and everyone's working together to get like objectives and [ __ ] to get mission accomplished. It feels like it's insane that that hasn't happened yet. We're not fighting each other. No, no, no. I I don't want to fight each other in Star Fox. Not necessarily. I'm just saying working together to do cool moves. What if you had like barrel roll handshakes and [ __ ] to do attacks? Like you can team up with each other and do big attacks and [ __ ] Make it make it a fourplayer co-op rail shooter like beat them up, you know?
And beat them ups you team up to do big things. Yeah, let's just do beat them up [ __ ] together and like blow [ __ ] up. That could be a [ __ ] really cool game. Flying lariats. I don't know. something, man. Watch it be an extraction shooter. Yeah. Yeah. The Star Fox extraction shooter is exactly what I wanted out of Star Fox. Yeah. Max Nintendo Online game. Are you feeling okay? You mean like uh Dust Bloods? [ __ ] Uh they kind of did that before, too. Star Fox Assault had four players, right? They've done this before. Yeah. Just make it an expansion of Star Fox Assault.
No problem. Just keep everyone on the same uh on the same uh rail path, right? It's fine. Just make it wider. [ __ ] Dusk Bloods doesn't exist. Yes, it does. Come on. Yes, it does. It's going to come out this year, dude. You just have to have some positivity. Lu on. Thank you, dude. the stage of history. Sorry boxes all saw that on foot combat. Yeah, I remember that not being as as powerful. You know, I got to go back to 64 again and see if the um the tank sequences and stuff like that hold up as well.
See if they're still good. Star Fox, but Rogue Squadron, Not bad. What about a Metroid movie? Bro, I don't know how they make a Metroid movie and make it marketable. Like straight up, how do you make a Metroid movie marketable? Like seriously from for make it all first person. Yeah. Okay. Of history. It's that's so goddamn hard because it's a it's so it's not going to happen because we have also recently seen unless you get someone in Hollywood with like enough money and equity and power that they just want to do it, you know, that they just want to make that happen.
Yeah, that that could happen. However, in the same ways that we get like sort of a a pretty unadulterated understanding of how big this audience is, yeah, Metroid is probably one of the coolest movies they can make easily. Like, if they wanted to turn it into a film, easily. But we just saw Metroid Prime remakes, we saw Metroid Prime 4, and we saw Metroid Dread. And did those games make astronomical amounts of money and have like huge expansions of sales? Were they like mega hits? Is Metroid a mega hit franchise? Unfortunately, no. People love that [ __ ] They really do.
But it has like a comparable and maybe sizable amount of people that love this [ __ ] to like an F-Zero. Like it's one of those franchises. So that's like the issue is that it's great. It's actually really goddamn cool. Metroid Dread is amazing. But did it sell like gang busters? It It did pretty good. It did pretty good. So, it's like the audience for this in that game was amazing. Like that's easily one of the best new Metroids that's out there right now, man. Metroid Dread was [ __ ] awesome. The audience is only so big, you know?
Mega Man movie. I don't No. What the [ __ ] Mega Man movie is literally for 40-year-olds. What the hell? No. I really didn't like that Mega Man short either. I was not a big fan of it. I was not a fan. I was not I didn't necessarily love that that that animated short that they did like a few years ago. It was It was all right. Yeah. Hollow Knight went went went ca came out and outsold the majority of the Metroid franchise. Just outsold the majority of it, dude. And I think there is definitely a lot of um really cool feelings you get when like Fox Mloud shows up and you get to see the character like rendered and realized in a completely different way you know in like a super cool movie way like yeah this is so sick and yeah it was really sick and the the example of like Mega Man was the opposite for me where it's like wow this is not living up to my expectations much less do I think is really that good.
That's like an example of it showing up and it's like this is okay. Excuse my my goddamn French, but a Mega Man movie would be insane in this climate. I mean, even making a new Mega Man game is kind of insane. And I'm glad they're doing it. Still think that is really cool. I'm going to wreck it. Oh my god, Wreckit Ralph 2. That movie was [ __ ] trash, bro. Jesus, that movie sucked. Holy hell. Like, and as big fans of Wreck of Wreck One, dude, Wreck-It Ralph is great, right? Granted, it's a video game movie.
It's it's I'm sorry, it's a Candyland movie disguised as a video game movie, which is funny. Um, but at least it has a [ __ ] ton of heart, right? Which makes it a great movie. It's just a great movie. My god, dude. I could not believe the second one. I could not [ __ ] believe it. I could not believe it. I I aggressively disliked it. Aggressively, dude. no for the Sonic movies. I saw Sonic one. I liked it. emoji movie pretty much. I did not see that. I did not see that. Yeah, Wreckit Ralph has character assassination.
That's the weird thing of it. It like ruins Ralph's character. Um, Kazami, thanks for the 10. Where does this place Advent Children as far as video game movies also video game movie tier list? So, it's a little bit different. Advent Children is similar cuz it's a bad Um, Advent Children is a is like a six out of 10 movie, right? But it can easily be boosted to an eight or a nine, like depending on what you're looking for. Advent Children has a story. It has a plot. It h it's trying to have a narrative. It's just nonfucking sensical.
Like, it is really it it is really nonsense if you have never played FF7. And even if you have played FF7 chat, Advent Children is the equivalent of the first Mission Impossible movie. Anybody remember that [ __ ] Um, I like the first Mission Impossible movie, but I could and I saw it when I was younger. I could but I remember watching that and I'm like, I don't know what the [ __ ] is going on in this film. Like, and as I saw it like four or five times, I ended up really liking it. And it's like, "Oh, now I understand like what characters are saying, why they're doing this, what is happening, like what is bringing us from point A to point B to point C." Like, but then when you first watch the first Mission Impossible movie, I'm like, why?
I remember it's so [ __ ] hard to follow. Like, I don't know why things are happening the way they do. You really got to be paying attention, dude. You really got to be paying attention. When you h when you are paying attention, it's actually a very cool film. It's actually like It's actually This is a pretty cool [ __ ] movie, actually. Um, the issue is it's going to take like five to six watches to get there. Advent Children to me is kind of the same where it actually has some interesting storytelling stuff. I don't agree with a lot of it.
I don't agree with a lot of the characterization in the film, but yeah, especially from like a dub perspective, the connective tissue between the action sequences, it's not great. It is. It only has a novelty because it's the only time that you ever get Oh, by the way, I'm talking about Advent Children Complete. I don't even think of the original cut, which is extremely nonsensical, dude. But the problem with Advent Children Complete, which actually gives it a like a bit more of a story. Um, even that one is way too long. Like the movie starts pushing two hours.
It's a It's a bad movie, dude. But in terms of like Final Fantasy 7 [ __ ] and I just want to see these characters talk to each other, dude. Like that was it. I just want to see these characters talk to each other. Um it's pretty decent. Like it it does it does stuff for you if you're like a big FF7 fan, you know? Um here's the thing though. I saw Advent Children again a couple years ago before uh Rebirth came out and yeah, it's it's as bad as I remember it. Especially the the dub. The dub is like extremely early era anime dub.
It It's rough, man. You know what's insane to me, dude? The action sequences are on a technical level insane. Like, you had never seen realistic looking characters engaging in a action sequences like this in a movie. Like, this had not happened yet. And the fact that like most of these action sequences from like a visual standpoint, like do I understand what's happening? Why? Like if the character's jumping and doing all this insane [ __ ] am I understanding from the camera work and the choreography and and all of the the visual stuff that's happening where we are?
And they do some insane [ __ ] with like cheating space with like we're going to make you I'm going to make it so that you understand what's actually happening in this fight. It's [ __ ] nuts, dude. and the fact how good it uses like uh music in those sequences too. It's really sick. I also like I love the last one with with Sephro and [ __ ] from a storytelling standpoint. I think this is really [ __ ] cool, dude. So that [ __ ] still held up. I couldn't believe it. And and even even nowadays I'll see like a lot of movies and like this is still this was like one of the first goddamn movies to do this and it's still really good.
like it still looks mad cool, dude. So, it's a it's a people that even aren't FF7 fans will will watch those action sequences. I'm like, "This is a cool [ __ ] movie." Like, it is it is really [ __ ] cool. Um, as FF7 fans, you'll like it a little bit more, but even as like a as a movie, it's like a six. It's like a six. If you're an FF7 fan, it's like an eight. If you really like the action sequences and FF7 stuff, it could be it could be a nine, you know? It's not great, but it's okay.
You know, the fight in the forbidden forest is peak as [ __ ] Yeah, it is neat. There's there's none of those. What What I do like is that there is a bit of like storytelling stuff that happens in between those. It's better than Titan AE. There you go. There you go. Judging just on action scenes, it's amazing. Yeah, I mean it is like they're really goddamn cool, dude. Like what happens in them kind of blows your mind. What if Get to the Cool [ __ ] was a movie. No, that is not Advent Children because Advent Children hovers and it also sucks because like you don't like Cloud very much, right?
Like you make it makes you sort of the the majority of the movie the movie goes out of its way to spend 75% of it making you dislike Cloud and it's like all right. So we can eventually get a cool finality to it. I never saw the F-15 movie. No, I did not. Dillydallying. Nothing what makes Max hate Cloud. Um, I mean, in the last chunk of the movie, he's cool, but he sort of sucks and he's very mopey in the first like three three quarters of the entire goddamn film. Any thoughts on Spirits Within?
I hate it. It's boring. Movie is goddamn boring. What if they made a Legend of Zelda movie? Good luck. Good luck. Is that why Advent Children is the bad ending? No. Advent Children is the is is the not ideal ending because like tens of thousands of people died of space cancer. Now they're making a Legend of Zelda movie. All I got to say is good luck. the write the the writing accolades on that new liveaction Zelda movie chat. If you're looking forward to it, don't look it up. Don't look up who's writing it. Do not do not.
Trust me, don't look it up. Just go watch it without any perspective. Do not do not see who is who is taking care of the narrative. It It's pretty crazy. It's pretty crazy. It's not UA Bola levels of bad, but if anybody's anybody that is like looked into it, some of the names and you look up what they worked on before, you're like, "Oh, oh my god, what the [ __ ] dude?" The writer changed recently. I'm not surprised. I would not be surprised if [ __ ] changed. But yeah, it's it one of the writers is the dude that wrote the the second Star Wars um sequel.
sure that'll be received well. Ah, the Souls adaptation. I mean, what's his name? Um the guy that did Annihilation, is that the name of the The guy that directed Annihilation is doing an Elder Ring movie. Ryan Johnson. No, Ryan Johnson wasn't the writer, dude. Yeah, Alex Garland. I [ __ ] love that movie, dude. Um, Annihilation is [ __ ] insane. What a goddamn movie. Apparently, he is he and A24 are making an Elder Ring movie. And I'm like, that [ __ ] could be [ __ ] sick. That [ __ ] could be actually be really cool. Um, all right. What's Annihilation about? It is it's the the movie about um a female like team that has to go in to a weird cosmic horror bubble and when they go into the bubble like things are backwards and the they don't know what put the bubble there.
They don't know why it's there. It's the movie with the bear. That's all I got to say. It's the movie with Natalie Portman and a bear. It's got a bear and it's one of the scariest [ __ ] things I've ever seen in a movie. Not cocaine bear. No, no, no. One of the scariest goddamn things I've seen in a movie. Um, the idea of it is is insane. This is crazy. Uh, Rotary lover, thank you for the 10. What do you think of two Castlevania series on Netflix? They can make a live action Castlevania. I don't think they need to.
I don't think they need to, but maybe. I saw the first season of Castlevania. I thought it was pretty good. Saying that Natalie Portman is scary. Uh, I would watch the film. I would watch the film. No, Ryan Johnson is not on The Legend of Zelda movie. No, no, that's not who I'm thinking of. Ryan Johnson didn't write um he wasn't the screenwriter of the second Star Wars movie from what I understand. Yeah, I'm I'm morbidly curious on the He-Man movie. I hope it's fun. I'm like, it's like the He-Man movie and like the Street Fighter movie.
I just hope they're fun. I just want to have fun, dude. They could be cheesy. I I actually hope they're cheesy. Like, do not please don't try to make He-Man or Street Fighter serious in some way. Please don't not try to ground this [ __ ] Please, dear God. My god, dude. Let's not try to ground this. And it doesn't seem like either one. You know what? You know what bugged the [ __ ] out of me? When Skeletor talked when he spoke, I was like, uhoh. Are they trying to do this? Are they really trying to do this?
Um, he didn't have the he didn't have the voice. He does not sound like Skeletor. Oh, is that really Jared Leto? I'm shocked, man. Chad, did you see Tron? I did. I did. I saw it for my friend Steve. I saw the latest Tron. I saw Tron Aries. I saw it for Steve. Jared Leto got me chat. He was right off screen. Got to me. I'll let everyone come back in. My apologies for that. Uh, that's what I get for updating OBS. That's what I get for updating OBS. OBS. I updated it and I'm just going to crash on you now.
Welcome back to the history. Anyway, I badmouth Jared Leto a little bit and his cult comes crashing down. Yo, uh, Gamboni, thank you, dude. Every time a streamer updates OBS. Yeah. An angel gets its wings. I'm back. Hello. I'm back. I'm back. I'm back. You wish you saw more special effects in the Street Fighter trailer. Yeah. It's almost like a lot of them are missing, you know, like they weren't there yet. Uh, anything else we want to yap about before we check out the Ingrid trailer? Anything else? Any good yapping mortal shell too? Uh, did you see the most recent Indiana Jones?
I did. I didn't really feel much. It was okay. Rebirth got its complete OSD. Did that actually come out? Did that legit come out? Um, cool. Very cool. It's on Spotify. Damn. Oh, I have to I'll have to check that out. Gus is in the complete OSD. Dude, how many hours is the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth full OST? How many hours is that [ __ ] A lot. It's like 15 hours. Nine plus hours. Holy [ __ ] New AR movie this year? Yeah, I'm kind of hoping it's good. Apparently, it's not going to be using um the characters from Resident Evil, which is interesting.
I'm like, I wonder if this is actually a fresh take on this [ __ ] Prior mask. Thank you. Yeah, if it's the weapons director, then I hope it's good. I hope it's good. It's like u you know what could you even compare it to? Like Alien Romulus. I liked it a lot, but there are parts of it I really didn't like. Check out the back rooms trailer. I saw a little bit of that. Wait a minute. Is that the same? Hold on a second. This is not a se a segue for a sponsor. Uh but legit Hold on.
Did this actually happen? Oh [ __ ] It's It's over. Um I was like I could watch this on stream and literally get paid for it. Uh but it's unavailable anymore, so I can't. But I it I did see a little bit of that on Twitter and I'm like this is a cool looking [ __ ] movie. This is a this is a cool looking [ __ ] movie. I uh can't I I I can't like I don't want to show it on stream without the sponsorship because it will probably flag. Um but apparently it's directed by a 20-year-old which is like mad cool.
It it feels like a movie adaptation of some indie game, right? Like in a similar way that like Markiplier did the same thing. It feels like this feels like a game. Like it feels like a video game plot like for for like an indie horror game. Um but it's done with like really good actors and it looks like [ __ ] really cool, dude. [ __ ] Maybe we'll just fire it up. Hold on a second. If I if it I I want to show it. Even this is not sponsored. I lost my opportunity to do like it was a Twitch sponsorship where you just like watch the trailer on stream yada yada yada.
Um yeah, and a apparently a super young director which is inspiring. Like this is this is a pretty neat take on this sort of [ __ ] Is it literally a game? Is it actually based on a game? I mean you I feel like I've seen this game, you know, quote unquote at some point. It's based on a novel, but there is a game already. Okay. Gotcha. Gotcha. Anyway, like this is a this is a goddamn great trailer. Get out of here. I found something in the store. What did you find? The place. I found a place.
Hello. Anyone there? Look, I know how this sounds, but you got to understand it's massive in there. I'm not saying I don't believe you. Okay, I'm going to come back here with proof. All right, you feel me? Yeah. Follow my lead. Clark, what is this? That's what I'm trying to figure out. I've been here every night since I found the place, and I still barely scratched the surface. All right, just take it slow. Oh my god. Pull me up. Pull me up. Pull me up. What do you see? All these rooms. This place builds them.
It's like a maze. It just goes on and on. Sometimes I'm scared I'll get lost. Clark, can you hear me? I…
