SPEAKER_00 0:01

Do you think this is meant to be like two apartments put into one? Or is it actually meant to be an apartment? Because the windows are the windows. Some of the windows are.

SPEAKER_03 0:13

The recording is live.

SPEAKER_00 0:14

Alright.

SPEAKER_03 0:16

Back with a whimper.

SPEAKER_00 0:18

Back with a whimper. What? Alright, okay. Well hello everybody. We're back. We're back from the dead. Have you missed us? We haven't missed you. We haven't missed this. At all. Sorry? We haven't missed this.

SPEAKER_03 0:41

Oh, this is exciting, isn't it?

SPEAKER_00 0:42

Not really. No? No. I could well maybe not here, but I said I could think of 101 things out of the way.

SPEAKER_03 0:49

I've forgotten how to oh, I haven't forgotten that. I've interrupted. Yes, you haven't. I've forgotten how to deep throat.

SPEAKER_00 0:55

Oh yes, yes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 0:56

Techniques off again. Yeah. Haven't deep throated mums. I was gonna make it a lurid comment there and say, you know, how about yourself?

unknown 1:07

Deep throat.

SPEAKER_00 1:08

I'm fine. My technique is fine, Ben.

SPEAKER_03 1:10

Don't worry. It's a family.

SPEAKER_00 1:12

I'm saying my microphone technique is. Ben I don't know what you're talking about over there. Jesus.

SPEAKER_03 1:17

Okay. No no context. No talking about what we're doing, where we've been. Oh, other than Dane Tree, because that's relevant to what the uh to the film we're doing today.

SPEAKER_00 1:27

Yes, it is. It is.

SPEAKER_03 1:28

Oh, it was not as good as I remembered. Oh Jesus.

SPEAKER_00 1:32

What wasn't? Clarify.

SPEAKER_03 1:33

The film.

SPEAKER_00 1:34

Oh right, okay, yes.

SPEAKER_03 1:35

Uh should we say about the experience last night? Haven't watched the film for months. Meant to do loads in New Zealand. Didn't do any. Will we catch up to do some for all the fans?

SPEAKER_00 1:45

Bush, our rationale for that, our reasoning for that is because the internet has been shocking. Whoever said that internet in well, actually, I blame your Mac.

SPEAKER_03 1:54

Okay, I said no context. We're not talking about the travelling episode. But oh the fans will get we'll get there. The fans will hear my thoughts on travelling and podcasting and life. It's terrible. But hear it on a different episode.

SPEAKER_00 2:08

We've tried. Even speaking to Mummy and Daddy.

SPEAKER_03 2:10

Sean, I hope you're well.

SPEAKER_00 2:11

Even speaking to Mummy and Daddy, I can't anymore.

SPEAKER_03 2:13

Sorry, sorry, I'm speaking to Sean. Sean, I hope you're well.

SPEAKER_00 2:16

Yes. I hope you're well too.

SPEAKER_03 2:17

Be fan.

SPEAKER_00 2:18

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 2:18

Oh Dan Mackles.

SPEAKER_00 2:19

Oh yes. I forget these people. It's been so long. SB film viewers. It's been so long.

SPEAKER_03 2:26

We have fans, Fiona. We had fans. Yes. Okay? Right. So now you drag me around the world and now we've lost all the fans. Patreon. How's that going? Oh yeah. God, people are paying. They're funding this, they're funding this while traveling for you. I think I'm paying for it. And we're not giving them any content. We're saying in five stars, we haven't given them content since I don't know. When was the last episode?

SPEAKER_00 2:47

Hold on a second, Ben. Look around. This isn't a five star.

SPEAKER_03 2:51

When was the last episode for the Patreons, Fiona?

SPEAKER_00 2:55

Erm Exactly.

SPEAKER_03 2:58

So long ago, can't remember. It's disgusting. I'm stealing these people's money to fund your five-star addiction.

SPEAKER_00 3:04

Yeah. What do you think of that? Well, you failed miserably this attempt, Ben.

SPEAKER_03 3:08

We've got to start doing Patreon stuff. Yeah. Fiona. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 3:13

We just lack a little bit motivation as well.

SPEAKER_03 3:15

Booked a flight to Brazil recently.

SPEAKER_00 3:17

Oh yes.

SPEAKER_03 3:17

Patreon money pay for first class.

SPEAKER_00 3:19

It's on my birthday, so.

SPEAKER_03 3:20

Yeah. So thanks, Patreon. Patrons.

SPEAKER_00 3:23

Patreon. Yeah, why do you call it Patreon? It's just a joke, I'm amazing. Anyways, I'm bored of listening to you, so I'm gonna start talking about deep. Let's get into it.

SPEAKER_03 3:32

Yeah, Twitter. How's Twitter been? Don't know. No, in all seriousness, before we get into the film, there's just no internet. Campsites New Zealand, no internet. Just awful internet. You don't even consider trying to do episodes with it, like them. Sean, like Sean, Lindsay, SP film viewers, tried one, me, Sean, Paul, in Gilly T. Fucking horrendous.

SPEAKER_00 3:58

Lamwich Ben.

SPEAKER_03 3:59

Horrendous. Need to put that episode together. That'll probably be out by this Halloween. Meant to come out last Halloween. Right. Sorry, guys.

SPEAKER_00 4:08

Was that uh oh yes it was.

SPEAKER_03 4:10

Anyway, anyway, anyway, we're back. It's it's I feel good. I don't. Well, I'm gonna just let them just roll the shoulders, get the old uh I won't do that because it's making noise. Rusts, get the rust off.

SPEAKER_00 4:21

Yep. Anyhow, can I tell the fans what movie we're doing?

SPEAKER_03 4:24

Yeah, it's 10 minutes max.

SPEAKER_00 4:26

Yeah, so Ben's Choice. Shit one. Lake Placid, 1999, 5.8 out of 10 under IMDB. Why Lake Placid, Ben?

SPEAKER_03 4:36

Dane Tree, Australia. Went to Australia as well. We did, we did. Uh where haven't we been?

SPEAKER_00 4:44

Such an ass. Yes, go on. What did we see in Dane Tree?

SPEAKER_03 4:48

Crocodiles. Oh, big crocs. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:52

We liked them, didn't we? The crocs.

SPEAKER_03 4:53

Big.

SPEAKER_00 4:54

Big boys. Yeah. Very big boys.

SPEAKER_03 4:56

Learned so much. Very interesting stuff. Went to Hartley. Yes. Was it? Maybe sponsor us, Hartley.

SPEAKER_00 5:02

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 5:03

Very interesting. Lots of interesting facts about crocodiles. Yep. Can't remember any of them.

SPEAKER_00 5:07

I remember a few.

SPEAKER_03 5:08

At the time. Mind blown.

SPEAKER_00 5:10

I remember a few.

SPEAKER_03 5:12

Okay. Are you saving that for the review or?

SPEAKER_00 5:15

Yes, because it's on the next page and I don't want to turn the page because you'll give out too much making noise.

SPEAKER_03 5:20

Yeah, so first film in mum's. Yeah. Um awful. Awful experience last night. Internet. We're in an apartment. Thought it was going to be great. Wasn't. Didn't work. We were streaming off the phone at one point.

SPEAKER_00 5:30

Yeah, that was very miserable. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 5:32

Yeah. Uh £3.49. £3.49. I had to pay for this.

SPEAKER_00 5:37

Yep. For a £5.8 movie.

SPEAKER_03 5:39

So the same price. Even more money than the bus that we're going to catch tomorrow, which is four hours long.

SPEAKER_00 5:45

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 5:45

Cheaper. The bus is cheaper.

SPEAKER_00 5:47

Yeah. For two.

SPEAKER_03 5:49

Pretty much, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 5:51

So anyway.

SPEAKER_03 5:53

That was tough.

SPEAKER_00 5:54

So that's why we decided to do this movie. So three people attempt to stop a gigantic crocodile who is terrorising residents in Black Lake, Maine. This movie was actually not set anywhere on Maine. Oh. In Maine. On Maine. Whatever. Oh, sorry, Ben. It was directed by Steve Minor. Minor? Is that right? Or Milner.

SPEAKER_02 6:16

Damn it.

SPEAKER_00 6:17

Steve something, anyways. His other movies include Friday the 13th, 1981, and Part 3. Part two, part two. Part two, right? Yes, and Part 3, 1982. Interesting. And also Halloween H2O 20 Years Later.

SPEAKER_03 6:32

Oh my Christ, of course. Jesus. Lots of fans of H2O. I'm not one of them. Do you know why, Fiona?

SPEAKER_00 6:41

Because it sucks.

SPEAKER_03 6:42

It's not great, no. There's uh there's also a CGI mask. I don't know if I don't think I've ever brought this up. I've never brought this up. It's a CGI Michael Myers mask.

SPEAKER_00 6:53

CGI. You should see his face right now.

SPEAKER_03 6:55

CGI, that's relevant to the stuff. Distorted to this film, isn't it?

SPEAKER_00 6:58

It is very relevant. CGI mask.

SPEAKER_03 7:00

Wow.

SPEAKER_00 7:01

Yeah, wow. Anyhow, starring Bill Pollman, who is Jack, who is the fish and main guy in this film. He was in De Sinner, actually, a series that I recently watched on Netflix.

SPEAKER_03 7:13

The Casper, the Friendly Garden.

SPEAKER_00 7:17

We also have Brendan Gleason, who is Sheriff Hank. Having a shocker in this movie. Very very bad shocker. He plays Mad Eye in Harry Potter. He was in Bruges. Have you ever seen Braveheart? Surely you have. Yeah. Yeah. This is my father in Irishum.

SPEAKER_03 7:34

Not sure, probably.

SPEAKER_00 7:35

Very good. And also The Butcher Boy. I've mentioned The Butcher Boy to you a few times now. You you really need to watch it.

SPEAKER_03 7:40

Hey, the microphones are back out, baby. Yeah. Let's pod.

SPEAKER_00 7:43

Bridget Fonda as Kelly. What's Bridget Fonda been in? That's people.

SPEAKER_03 7:47

She was in some stuff during the 90s, and then I think she just retired. She just disappeared.

SPEAKER_00 7:51

Yeah. Oliver Plash as Hector CYE, the weird crocodile man, who's in Modern Family for something or another. I recognise him for other stuff, but I'm just like, who is he? But I know. Anyways, Beshi Weich, uh, who plays The Old Woman, RIP. So yeah. And the man himself who actually created the crocodile was Stan Winston, who also created the monsters monsters in Alien 1986 and Jurassic Park 1993. Stan Winston. Just pause for a second. Thank you.

SPEAKER_03 8:27

Oh, I just wind me up. Any nerves, Fiona? You feel nervous?

SPEAKER_00 8:34

No, not at all, Ben. I feel very calm and composed.

SPEAKER_03 8:37

Well, Fiona, if you knew how many people listened, you'd be fucking nervous. I've got the numbers here.

SPEAKER_00 8:41

I absolutely love to wear Ben that I'm not swearing, and you are.

SPEAKER_03 8:44

I haven't sworn that much.

SPEAKER_00 8:46

You've sworn three times, Ben now. I'm counting.

SPEAKER_03 8:48

Oh shit, grow up. God, I'm sick to the back TV.

SPEAKER_00 8:52

I mean, soul sick are you. Jesus.

SPEAKER_03 8:54

Can someone come just someone replace her? Please, please. Sean, I'll fly you out. Patreon money. Get out of here. Replace her. Anyone? Not Dan.

SPEAKER_00 9:08

There's a lot I could say, right now. But I'm just like, nah. I just don't have energy for you.

SPEAKER_03 9:14

No, that went in September. And we started September.

SPEAKER_00 9:17

So, anyways, what about Stan Winston? What are you on about? What do you want to say about him?

SPEAKER_03 9:21

Well, he's very good. Very good. Utilise oh let me get my notes up.

SPEAKER_01 9:24

Oh my gosh, I've even got my notes up there.

SPEAKER_03 9:27

Uh what have I got about Stan Winston? Well, it's Stan Winston. You've got to be utilising Stan Winston. But it's the same story, isn't it? It's the same story of the CGI. It's late 90s. Limitations were there, budget. What was the budget?

SPEAKER_00 9:44

Oh I don't know. I didn't check that. I'm Rusty Ben.

SPEAKER_04 9:47

You don't?

SPEAKER_00 9:47

I'm rusty.

SPEAKER_04 9:49

Jesus Christ. What do you expect? It's on the first page, isn't it?

SPEAKER_00 9:52

Yeah, but you know.

SPEAKER_04 9:53

Budget, box office takings.

SPEAKER_00 9:55

Yeah. It's basic shit. Yeah, then why didn't you look at it?

SPEAKER_04 9:58

Because it's your job.

SPEAKER_00 9:59

You've only got one. This is not my job. I'm rusty, I fucking told you.

SPEAKER_03 10:03

Oh. Sorry. I'm counting.

SPEAKER_00 10:06

I had to.

SPEAKER_03 10:08

Stan Winston, the guy, the man, you've you've listed some of his films. You've got to just utilise Dan Winston.

SPEAKER_00 10:14

But in all fairness, the croc did look good once when he was in water.

SPEAKER_03 10:18

Yes, that yes, practical.

SPEAKER_00 10:20

Very good.

SPEAKER_03 10:20

I know I get it, that the money's not there. Limitations of the time. I has I don't know, has practical stuff got better since? I don't I don't can you mocap a crocodile? What do you mean, mocap? You know, when you put all the little things on them and you mo cap them so it moves like a real person and a crocodile.

SPEAKER_04 10:42

It doesn't move like one, it's twirling around.

SPEAKER_00 10:45

Yes, because we've seen them moving in the real life.

SPEAKER_04 10:48

Yeah, oh we've seen it. Yeah. We've seen it, man.

SPEAKER_00 10:51

So the size of this crocodile in this movie was much larger than anything that's ever been recorded. The largest crocodile which was held in captivity here in the Philippines was Low Long, who OIP'd in 2013. Oh, that's a shame. And he was 20 feet three inches.

SPEAKER_03 11:06

When we saw in danger, it was pretty big.

SPEAKER_00 11:08

He was very big. No verified session of any crocodiles over 20 feet. However, I did do a little bit more research and they actually found bones of a crocodile that was 40 feet.

SPEAKER_03 11:20

Forty feet?

SPEAKER_00 11:21

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 11:21

When was that?

SPEAKER_00 11:22

Don't know when it was, but it was. That's all I know.

SPEAKER_03 11:26

Okay. So you said this wasn't set in Maine. It was set in uh British Columbia, wasn't it? Yes, it was.

SPEAKER_00 11:33

Yes. So at the moment, Cassius is currently the largest crocodile in captivity at 17 feet 12 inches. And he is in he's a he's a saltwater one in Australia in Green Island.

SPEAKER_01 11:46

Where's Green Island? We're not meant to go to Green Island.

SPEAKER_00 11:49

No. Where is Green Island? I don't know. I don't know where it is.

SPEAKER_01 11:51

Lindsay, where's Green Island?

SPEAKER_00 11:52

Help. Yes. And just a little bit of trivia for you on that. Well, not on that, but on the film itself. The cow that was used as beach and dangling over the in the helicopter, he was actually dangling in a crane.

SPEAKER_03 12:09

Yes, the cow did look practical.

SPEAKER_00 12:11

He was real. It was real.

SPEAKER_03 12:13

Practical cow, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 12:15

Yeah, real stuff.

SPEAKER_00 12:16

Yeah. Not sure uh dimensioned Pichau or whatever you call it, the animal things. How did they feel about a cow dangling in a crane?

SPEAKER_03 12:22

What it was safe, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_00 12:24

Well, I don't know. But you didn't know, but it's not really meant to dangle cows in a couple of crazy crazy.

SPEAKER_03 12:27

I know, but it's dangling over a it's dangling over a CGI crocodile. So they're probably just like, yeah, we'll let this one slide because it's a CGI crocodile.

SPEAKER_00 12:35

Do you want to talk about the movie now or do you want me to tell you some some fun facts about crocodiles?

SPEAKER_03 12:41

Have you got it's a ten minute review? Yeah, no. Let's just get the film reviewed then quickly and then you can end on your fun facts because that's what the fans will probably want.

SPEAKER_00 12:50

Just changed my pitch. So, the movie. What's the story with Brendan's accent? I don't know. He's all over the place.

SPEAKER_03 13:01

Yes, he is. What's the story of this film? I just I thought I I had fond memories of Late Placid. I thought it was similar to Anaconda. You know Anaconda? Yeah. We should have done Anaconda. We'll have to do Anaconda. Are we going to uh Paraguay?

SPEAKER_00 13:17

No.

SPEAKER_03 13:18

Oh we're not?

SPEAKER_00 13:19

No.

SPEAKER_03 13:19

Oh that's a shame. Should we not go to Paraguay? No. Because then we can do Anaconda.

SPEAKER_00 13:22

We don't have time then.

SPEAKER_03 13:23

Then I can verify if uh what's his face? Oh, what's he called? John Voigt, Paul Sorro Saronny, Saron, something. You know, he's got the old Paraguayan Paraguayan accent, you know, he's famous, it's it's terrible. I can then verify if that's real or not.

SPEAKER_00 13:43

Oh right, okay. Well you can verify in another episode, then we don't have to go to Paraguay just to do that.

SPEAKER_03 13:48

Yes, I well I do because he's putting on a Paraguayan accent. Oh. So I need to go and speak to the Oh yes, the locals.

SPEAKER_00 13:54

Yeah. Fine. Good.

SPEAKER_03 13:58

Really immerse myself in the culture.

SPEAKER_00 13:59

Okay. So you've got Brendan sitting on a boat, eating all of these bar these cakes, not really doing much, talking to some guy who's gone diving. Why is he gone diving? What's he looking for?

SPEAKER_03 14:09

I don't. I wasn't really I wasn't really paying it. Right. Yes, and sorry, so where where are we going with this review? I thought we were just getting it, just it was just getting it done.

SPEAKER_00 14:17

We're just having a chat then.

unknown 14:18

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 14:19

Okay, we've got other stuff to do, probably. Right, okay. We need to go shopping and stuff.

SPEAKER_00 14:22

Um so he's zero head. You've got this fellow who's just had a viny in half an hour.

SPEAKER_03 14:26

So we're starting from the beginning of the film.

SPEAKER_00 14:27

Right? Plenty of time. Zero head.

SPEAKER_03 14:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:30

He's just standing there. Is it because he's loaded up in carbs? He's feeling a bit sluggish, he's not helping us. What's going on?

SPEAKER_03 14:36

What do you want him to do?

SPEAKER_00 14:36

I don't think he's He's sitting there on the boat, Ben, looking at this guy popping up and down.

SPEAKER_03 14:41

No, he he pulls him out, doesn't he?

SPEAKER_00 14:43

Yeah, eventually.

SPEAKER_03 14:44

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 14:45

He has to like come to him. Yes.

SPEAKER_03 14:48

I think the thing is no one quite knows. That's that's the thing, isn't it? That's the mystique of the film. Or what's under Well, we do see the crocodile, but they don't.

SPEAKER_00 14:55

I think the synopsis tells us under the water.

SPEAKER_03 14:57

No, no, but the f the characters don't.

SPEAKER_00 14:58

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_03 14:59

But that's that's the thing with Anaconda. Anaconda don't well, because Late Placid, it's a horror comedy, isn't it? That's what that's what it is. It's meant to be it's meant to be funny. It's not scary. It's not that funny, to be honest. The interplay between Brendan and Hector. Yeah, there's a couple of bits that I like, uh, you know. A slight chuckle. But it's it's just quite it's quite it's quite aggressive. It's a bit it's a bit much. It's not it's actually I think it veers way over the whole like, oh look at these two just jossing each other. Oh god. But they're gonna be best friends in the end, I bet ya.

SPEAKER_00 15:33

Well, with Bridget and Bridget slash Kelly, what's her deal? Is she meant to be a bitch? She's hateful.

SPEAKER_03 15:39

Well, she's not a bitch, is she? She's heartbroken, her boss and her friend.

SPEAKER_00 15:42

Well, she's just too defensive, too argumentative, basically too much like me. So she's just she's just horrible.

SPEAKER_03 15:50

Yeah, and you think she's a bitch? Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 15:53

Yeah. How do you feel then about that?

SPEAKER_03 15:55

Again, she's just a non-entity, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 15:57

I the only thing I do like about her, again, she reminds you of me with the mozzie spray. You pointed out. That's nice.

SPEAKER_03 16:03

I don't do mozzys of that rubbish.

SPEAKER_00 16:04

Certainly don't do mozzys and I don't do camping.

SPEAKER_03 16:07

Right, so where are we then? What what was my point? What was I saying?

SPEAKER_00 16:10

Don't know, God knows.

SPEAKER_03 16:11

Yeah, it just wasn't as good. It was it was boring. Yes. It was 82 minutes. Oh, eighty two minutes. Oh, brilliant. Yeah, we had the issues with the internet, but it doesn't matter. Bedtime's approaching. It's fine, only 18 minutes. It's okay. It's half eight. Oh my Christ. No, it's fine, eighteen minutes, no problem. It was I was bored. So boring. Again, I guess we literally had a half a page of naughty. Oh, I just hate interrupts. They're trying to do the the Jaws thing, aren't they? Maybe. The characters don't see it, do they? So Brendan Brendan, pretty much until an hour in is like, Well, there's no crocodile. Oh, it's gotta be it's gotta be a bear. It's gotta be something else.

unknown 16:43

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 16:43

No, he did some chomping on that bear.

SPEAKER_03 16:45

That's fine. Build the suspense. We know it's a crocodile. Well, I know, but there's meant to be, because you don't see a lot of the crocodile until the last sort of 20 minutes. With the horror comedy and it's the characters aren't they're not interesting enough, are they?

SPEAKER_00 17:01

No, they're boring.

SPEAKER_03 17:01

The bally who between Brendan Hector's it's just not.

SPEAKER_00 17:04

And obviously her and whatever his name is at the end, it's gonna get together.

SPEAKER_03 17:08

I'm sure I just interrupt. Just looking around, I must be talking to someone else.

SPEAKER_00 17:12

Yeah, obviously they're gonna get together.

SPEAKER_03 17:14

Yes, I know it's not interesting. It's not it's almost like it's meant to be sort of a character study. It's it's more about you know, let's let's see the characters on land, see what they're doing. Everyone's going through their own thing, you know, denial, betrayal, there's no betrayal.

SPEAKER_00 17:29

In other words, she was betrayed by my friend.

SPEAKER_03 17:31

Yes, yeah, okay, yeah. Denial, betrayal, you know, trying to find themselves, trying to get over heartbreak.

SPEAKER_00 17:37

But demis and de Sorry, go on.

SPEAKER_03 17:41

It's boring. Anaconda's a lot more, it's it's a lot more interesting. The characters are even more ridiculous, the whole thing's more ridiculous. John Voigt, absolutely obscene. It's m it's fun. It's a horror comedy as well. Well, to be fair to both the films, they they do take themselves far too seriously, I think. I think they both do. I don't know why. I'm just saying anaconda because they're sort of similar, aren't they? They're creature features, you know, one's a big Anaconda, one's a big crocodile. They bred all these sequels and how many sequels to this film? Oh, five or two. Tons.

SPEAKER_00 18:11

Yeah, tons.

SPEAKER_03 18:11

Godzilla as well. You know, you've got you've got these sort of creature feature monster films, haven't you? The nineties. Nineties are weird times, isn't it? It's a weird period, you know, the eighties, you know, oh brilliant, brilliant time of horror. Trying to get awarded. Yeah, well, I'm I'm yeah, it's very interesting, what I'm saying. 80s, brilliant. Do you not agree? Brilliant time of horror. So many good films. Yeah, excellent. You know, iconic. 90s. It's like, what do we do next? Yeah. Almost they sort of started to harpen back to the olden days. You know, we need no more interesting ideas, so let's let's dump out loads of shit sequels and let's try and maybe remake some films from the 50s. And I don't know, you've you've got some have you finished?

SPEAKER_02 18:54

No, well, I I'm just saying whatever. I've I've got no point.

SPEAKER_00 18:57

Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_02 18:58

I've got no noise.

SPEAKER_00 18:59

So basically, this movie isn't about an investigation about what's in the war, who killed who. Yes. But you've got all of these people just showing up tagging along. Why? Why is Hector allowed in? Why is Bridget allowed in? She looks at two people's teeth. Well Animal's teeth.

SPEAKER_03 19:20

Yes, well, Bill Paulman does go, sorry, well why why are you here?

SPEAKER_00 19:23

Yeah, but she let he lets them tag around, so why not let the public every with Tom Dick and Harry from the public?

SPEAKER_03 19:28

Well, that's just silly now.

SPEAKER_00 19:29

Like creepy creepy Brendan, when he was eyeing up that girl, why didn't you just invite her along? It doesn't make sense. Oh the girl. Yeah, the girl. Creepy Brendan eyeing her up.

SPEAKER_03 19:38

They are they all they all are experts or they are they're not just random people off the street, they are all doing something that's related to the film or what they're doing.

SPEAKER_00 19:47

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_03 19:48

What?

SPEAKER_00 19:49

Of course they are. The two.

unknown 19:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 19:52

From a museum. Yes, but we know why she's there because she's upset, she doesn't want to go home. Right. Bill says it, he goes, Well what you what are you doing? You're enjoying this, aren't you? No, I'm not. She's fine with it. She's loving it.

SPEAKER_03 20:05

There's only like two kills in the film, isn't there?

SPEAKER_04 20:08

It's not enough. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 20:10

Someone's torso or someone's head. I'm not complaining about seeing less of the CGR crocodile because every time you see it, you just want to throw up. But anyhow.

SPEAKER_04 20:20

Still, I don't know, just more practical.

SPEAKER_00 20:22

What do you think of Hector's dance moves when he's dancing with the girl in the tent?

SPEAKER_04 20:27

Yeah, I just I don't You're just not.

SPEAKER_00 20:31

It's a shame.

SPEAKER_03 20:31

This film just sorry, sorry, excuse me if you're not.

SPEAKER_00 20:34

It's just it's just again frustrating.

SPEAKER_03 20:35

It's a shame, but it's a shame because I I had I had I had reasonably high hopes of this film.

SPEAKER_04 20:40

I was like, oh I've been silenced. What do you mean you've been silenced? I was talking first.

SPEAKER_03 20:44

I'll go back and listen to it. I was like, yeah, late passage, you know, very easy sort of whatever film to get back into it. Australia, danger, it's all related. Crocodiles. Uh 349, ouch. And then it was just it was so boring.

SPEAKER_04 20:58

I was like, oh god, no.

SPEAKER_00 20:59

I thought this was fun. I nearly fell asleep to be fair.

SPEAKER_03 21:02

And then obviously because of because of course, you know, Your Highness, um, no.

SPEAKER_00 21:07

Your Majesty.

SPEAKER_03 21:08

Your Majesty, yeah, that's the one. Over here is like, oh, I I I'm only doing podcasting again if I if I'm interested in film. I'm not watching bad films.

SPEAKER_00 21:15

Yes. This is horrific.

SPEAKER_03 21:16

So there's that pressure, oh god, impress Frioni. You know, needs to get her motivated, or she won't she won't participate.

SPEAKER_00 21:22

Yeah, well, it's it's very hard to participate. But when you do a lot of talking, talking over me.

SPEAKER_03 21:27

I'm sitting there on the film going, oh this this is oh no, and you're there like you know, writing like you know, one line of notes.

SPEAKER_00 21:34

It's like, oh god, this is shit.

SPEAKER_03 21:36

Brilliant. Fantastic. Anyway, any what else we've got to say, please?

SPEAKER_00 21:40

Right, so Kelly's in the water. She he flips the boat over, Kelly's in the water.

SPEAKER_03 21:44

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 21:46

Crocodiles swim very fast. Twenty-nine kilometres per hour. Oh, is that true?

SPEAKER_03 21:51

Oh yeah, we do remember the facts.

SPEAKER_00 21:53

Twenty nine kilometres per hour.

SPEAKER_03 21:54

Yeah. They can shift ours, can't they?

SPEAKER_00 21:56

Yeah. He would have gobbled her up. She'd be gone. She'd be bye bye. Yeah, there's there's there's we should have nitpicked it because there's nitpicked because I'm that's actually what I'm doing, is I'm nitpicked as well.

SPEAKER_03 22:06

There's loads of nitpicks, but the thing is, what I'm saying is that you can take the nitpicks.

SPEAKER_00 22:10

Oh she didn't it didn't flip the board, did it? She just fell out. No, it flipped it. It flipped the board. That was an awful bad scene as well.

SPEAKER_04 22:17

Yeah, it's all it's all.

SPEAKER_00 22:18

And the scene where he takes the cow from your one.

unknown 22:22

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 22:23

Twenty white. Yeah, that was that was a bad thing. Did you have fun with it? Did I have fun with what?

SPEAKER_03 22:26

The film?

SPEAKER_00 22:27

No.

SPEAKER_03 22:27

Right, that's I had fun with the trivia. That's my point. It wasn't it wasn't as it wasn't as fun as I remembered. That was the the real tragedy of the whole thing. It was just boring. For 82 minutes as well.

SPEAKER_00 22:38

But you couldn't you couldn't get any of the characters. For example, when your man's head was bitten off in the bush, nobody was upset, nobody seemed traumatised other than Kelly, but already you hate her because she's such a bitch.

SPEAKER_03 22:49

I didn't hate her, I was just like Oh, I hated her.

SPEAKER_00 22:52

Couldn't bear her.

SPEAKER_03 22:53

So you hate yourself. I've got my mother ringing here as well. So we need to wrap this up, need to speak to her about God knows what.

SPEAKER_00 23:01

Okay. So, anyways, then we see this this bear. Where did so the bear comes out of nowhere? Everyone's fighting. This bear comes out of nowhere. Where the fuck did this bear come from?

SPEAKER_03 23:11

They're in the wild. There's bears everywhere. They're in Maine.

SPEAKER_00 23:14

Nobody heard him. There was like loads of booby traps hanging around the place.

SPEAKER_03 23:17

Oh no, but didn't didn't Brendan didn't he uh use all the booby traps? He fell into the hole and then he and then he got then he got hog tied. Well not hog tied, whatever. He got in the tree.

SPEAKER_00 23:27

My my watch is a little bit more. Oh interesting.

SPEAKER_03 23:29

Just bear with us. We're just trying to make a comeback. We're just trying to get back on track. Just bear with me, mum. Take it easy.

SPEAKER_00 23:35

The croc actually looks really good in water. Really bad out of war.

SPEAKER_03 23:39

Yes, uh CGI, just not good.

SPEAKER_00 23:42

So then we get a little bit of backstory as to why the crocodile is in the water. So Beshi has been feeding the crocodiles. Yes. But she admitted at the first part of the movie that she actually killed her husband. Why is Beshy still around hanging around the place? She's just admitted to killing her husband. And she hasn't reported his death, which the crocodile essentially.

SPEAKER_03 24:00

It's a horror comedy.

SPEAKER_00 24:02

I should have nitpicked it. Yeah, but what are you gonna do?

SPEAKER_03 24:04

What waste more time arresting Betty?

SPEAKER_00 24:05

I like her though.

SPEAKER_03 24:06

Wasting more time interrogating Betty. Officer fuckmate to get a move.

SPEAKER_00 24:10

Officer fuck meat. I hope that the crocodile eats you alive.

SPEAKER_03 24:12

Oh yes, and there's there's dick Oh is it fuckmate, is it? Fuck meat yeah. I thought it was dick mate. Not fuck meat. Oh, and then she says about suck a dick and yeah, she's fine.

SPEAKER_04 24:20

Yeah, she's okay. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 24:22

Betty White, you know, no problem.

SPEAKER_00 24:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 24:27

Yeah.

unknown 24:28

Fine.

SPEAKER_00 24:28

And the little crocs at the end.

SPEAKER_03 24:30

Yes. I'm pushing it along, but you know, my mum can wait, but it's like it's not, it's we're 25 minutes in.

SPEAKER_04 24:35

It's not worth it's just to get it's just to get back into it, you know. Yeah, just feeling good. It's nice to talk again. Right, we're still not finished to film then. You know, it's just like, you know, just to put those podcasts on no, on blast. No. Just to remind everyone, you know, we're still there. Hey. We're still here, we're still better than you.

SPEAKER_03 24:53

Oh, for God's sake, you eagles. Oh god, I haven't I haven't been humbled. Oh, travelling's not humbled me.

SPEAKER_00 24:58

Not aware.

SPEAKER_03 25:00

I still think we're so much better than everyone else. Oh god, what I've wasted six months.

SPEAKER_00 25:04

So I have here about the poor cow. So basically, they're trying to trap so just a little bit of context, they're trying to trap the alligator, um, the crocodile, by pushing a cow in the air in a helicopter, flying over it. Can cows swim? We've already talked about the cow. Can cow swim? I don't think they can. But we've talked about the cow. Yes, I know that. I'm just saying this is this is this we're finishing up the movie then.

SPEAKER_04 25:28

Thanks for watching.

SPEAKER_00 25:29

Finishing up the movie. Alright, go on then.

SPEAKER_02 25:33

Yeah, so the cow, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 25:35

Yeah, poor cow. It's all I have to say.

SPEAKER_02 25:37

Practical cow, great, loved it.

SPEAKER_00 25:38

Yeah. Bad CGI at the end.

SPEAKER_03 25:41

Yeah, real yeah, just a shame. I've I I remember this film be to be better than it was. I've said that about a hundred times.

SPEAKER_00 25:46

And where did the second croc come out of?

SPEAKER_03 25:48

Oh, yeah, that was that was a nice touch with the crocodile at the end. Yeah, you know, Brandon uses his gun.

SPEAKER_00 25:53

Yeah, that was fine. There is some evidence to suggest that um the crocodile skin's back skin is actually bulletproof. It's that hard.

SPEAKER_03 26:01

Interesting.

SPEAKER_00 26:01

That hard. But he did get him in the next one.

SPEAKER_03 26:03

Oh, yeah, quick crocodile facts, quick.

SPEAKER_00 26:06

The most uh they have the most powerful bites in the animal world. Once the jaw is shut, they lock into position and crush their prey. They can apply 3,700 pounds of pressure per square inch. Don't know about square inches, but I know that's a lot. When they oh uh yep, so when they lose a toot, it's quickly replaced. According to the San Diego Zoo, they can go through 8,000 teeth over a lifetime. Isn't that phenomenal? Phenomenal. And they actually don't chew their prey, their jaws actually don't have that uh movement, they actually just have to crush it and swallow it. Uh they don't sweat, so to cool down, they keep their mouth open. Remember when I was in we were in that place in Hartle's? I was like, why do why is all their mouths opened? That's why. Cooling down. Um as I said, very fast swimmers, 29 kilometres per hour on um on the in the water, and they can hold a breath up to one hour, uh up to one hour. However, when we were in Heartle's, they said that they can hold them for between six to seven hours, didn't they?

SPEAKER_03 27:10

Maybe. Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_00 27:11

Uh they can only run on land for up to 18 kilometres for a very short time. So if you're in the water, you need to run out of the water basically for a very short short.

SPEAKER_03 27:19

Oh yes, I remember the the gentleman saying that, yes.

SPEAKER_00 27:21

Yes, yes, and that's all I've got for you, Ben. They also have excellent hearing, and the reason why you have to send five metres from the shoreline is because they can actually hear the vibration of your feet.

SPEAKER_03 27:31

Oh yes, I remember that as well. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 27:33

Yes, and that's how when we were in Hartleys, they were trying to like, you know, get them to come up to the come up to the area where they were, and they actually stamped their feet.

SPEAKER_03 27:41

Oh yes. It was Hartleys, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_00 27:43

Heart Hartleys, or yeah, it was Hartleys. It was it was Hartleys.

SPEAKER_03 27:46

Okay, whoa, almost half an hour, God. Oh sorry fans, you know, again it's it's more of the same, isn't it? It's me going 100 miles per hour. It's just because we just wanted to just get it done. Wasn't impressed with the film overall. Shame. But next episode will be a little bit slower, a little more chilled out, relaxed. When have my mum ringing me?

unknown 28:05

Maybe.

SPEAKER_00 28:06

Maybe we should go ring her back, Ben.

SPEAKER_04 28:08

Yeah, we're just finishing off, you know, and no rush.

SPEAKER_03 28:10

You know, it felt like it was a rush. Just slow down off your own, slow down.

SPEAKER_00 28:16

Because you shit yourself. No, I'm a little bit. I've been very slow, Ben.

SPEAKER_03 28:21

Because I've got because as you forget, um it ends for you here. You shouldn't have much editing to do, Ben. It ends for you here, it's just starts for me, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 28:30

Second we stop, that's where the fun begins. Oh.

unknown 28:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 28:34

On that note, goodbye.

SPEAKER_03 28:36

Anything else? No, deep blue sea. That's another monster monster film.

SPEAKER_00 28:40

SPEAKER_03 28:42

SPEAKER_00 28:46
