65 & Jurassic Park: Camp Cretaceous

65

Reegs: Welcome to Bad Dad's Film Review, the podcast that'll make your tiny minds pop like cherry tomatoes on a grill. This week, Peter takes us on a prehistoric extravaganza as we unearth the top five dinosaurs, before sinking our teeth into Adam Driver's based on a true story sci fi action movie 65, and then finally taking a gander at the animated television series Jurassic Park.

Park, Camp Cretaceous in season three, episode five, Eye of the Storm. Thanks to a recommendation from my youngest. Before you get too comfortable, a word of caution. We're edgier than a stegosaurus's back plate. So there can be some explicit language every now and then. But if you're okay with that, then all that's left to do is introduce the dad, starting with Sidey and this week you've been introducing or indulging your new passion making action movie sound effects for silent movies.

Explosions, car chases, fight scenes, all without a single decibel. I wondered if you would slice in a bit of your work for us now, if you didn't mind, so we could just hear it.

Sidey: What do you think?

Pete: Ooh, that's good.

Cris: Wow.

Pete: Wow.

Dan: so,

Reegs: isn't it?

Dan: so much colour in it.

Reegs: We've got Dan who's so old he remembers when the only streaming was tears down his face when your tape got chewed up by the VCR.

And then there's Peter, the man with more children than a brachiosaurus has neck vertebrae. Resident heartthrob Chris but don't let those good looks fool you. He's got a critical eye sharper than a velociraptor's claw. And finally there's me, Reegs. Hello.

Sidey: Hello.

Dan: Hello.

Hmm. Nice.

Sidey: Well, there's five of us. Five become one.

Dan: Wow.

Sidey: We normally talk about what we watched this week. That would take a long time with five of us. But I didn't watch anything, so that's me out.

Reegs: All right.

Dan: I watched something, but by the time it gets around, I may remember what that was. It was one of those late night films

Reegs: No,

Cris: I watched the first episode of Top Boy.

Dan: ah, why I've

Cris: because I, I've not watched any of them, and now the third series is out, and I'm probably going to watch them all. In the space of a few weeks.

Sidey: Yeah. 'cause it's completely venito, isn't it? It's

Cris: I think so, yeah. The last one...

Sidey: went from B B C to Netflix or

Cris: yeah, they made the BBC one. They made it the first series. Then apparently they cancelled it because it promoted gang culture and out of all people, Drizzy. Drake got he really liked the show apparently and he, he found a way to finance it and, and, and kind of put season two and three together and he's the, the person behind it and I think he sold it to Netflix and

Sidey: made a load of money, from

Reegs: Yeah.

Pete: week, the week before, can't remember now, but yeah, so watch, obviously it's a good time to watch films because you, you have yeah,

Dan: Yeah. I never remember them though on a film on, on a plane.

Pete: no, I remember these and it, in fact, formed the basis of our selection process for, for the, the fair this week. What I have also been watching and I've.

I'm watching it like a series in that I'm breaking it down into sort of bite sized chunks. And I'm gonna say I'm struggling with it. I'm trying to watch the Irishman.

Sidey: Yeah, I've never finished it because it's crap.

Pete: Yeah, I'm like, I'm a third of the way through so about four or five hours. And... And

there's...

Sidey: about halfway and

I was

Pete: a lot of jumping around.

Sidey: I

hate de aging, I hate it

Reegs: it.

Pete: but there's like four different types of it with, with like De Niro and, and Oh God. Yeah. It's, it's, it is dragging. And I'm sure that there's a, like, there's a proper kind of like

Sidey: fuck it off, Flowers of the Something Moon is out soon, that's gonna be, I think, amazing.

Pete: Oh, is that the new school? So easy one? Yeah. Okay.

Dan: Oh, is that The Irishman all the way through,

Pete: In a woner, In

Dan: a one er and enjoyed it. You know, I do, I'm a fan of those movies, you

know,

Pete: am. I'm a fan of pretty of all of the movies of his that I've seen, but I'm really, really struggling with this because of the, the, the different, Like, like I say, like, um, yeah,

Dan: Yeah. I mean, it is designed

Pete: yeah. I'm not watching it in 20 minute installments at the cinema. Am

Dan: the plane one though, like, you

know,

Pete: I'm not doing it on, I'm not doing that on a plane.

Were you listening? No. Okay. Well, anyway, let's move on. Let's, like, I don't care what Dan has to say. Next. Let's go. What we doing?

Sidey: Riggs

Reegs: Oh, and

Cris: What did you watch

Reegs: Yeah, the bear. The bear. That was good. There's a star studded episode in the second season. Loads of cool cameos from like, Linda, not Linda, how much Emily Curtis and Bob Odenkirk

and

Sidey: Oh, cool.

Reegs: and wrestlers, which is a documentary on Netflix that peek behind the curtain as sort of.

Wrestlers. excellent. Yeah.

Pete: Good

Cris: just below the like

Reegs: No, sort of American yeah, the sort of just below the like WWE type

Sidey: Oh, okay. level

Reegs: of like wrestlers.

Sidey: trying to make it.

Reegs: Yeah. But you know, mostly about families and people, you know, I always like these subcultury things and people who are really dedicated to this stuff.

And obviously it's a lot of family and stuff and

Dan: y things and people who are really dedicated to this stuff and obviously it's a lot of family and stuff and all that. That film, and it was, you know, it was gritty, wasn't it? It was

Sidey: But it went, it went to a vote this week, didn't it?

And we nearly watched another Darren Aronofsky one because there was talk of the whale. Yeah. And the

democratic process. I wasn't keen. I remember something I did watch Gone Fishing with Mortimer Whitehouse is back on and I watched that. I just fucking love that series. It's just, it's just nice.

It's just very nice. It's good.

Dan: Oh, murder's in the building. Started

to watch

Reegs: Are you enjoying that?

Dan: Okay. Yeah. So I'm like how many episodes you one one, and I'll watch another. Yeah, yeah.

Sidey: Good.

Dan: Knew it to come to me.

Sidey: We, oh, Jesus, had we had a thing, didn't we, last week, top five, that maybe we covered off, I don't know.

Reegs: Did we? Nobody told me.

Sidey: What was it about?

Reegs: Top five pipes, I think. I don't think we ended up putting any...

Pipe stuff out. Peter, have you got a favorite pipe? I don't believe you recommended a pipe,

Pete: Pipe straight off the, I didn't even give it any thought, but straight off the top of my head, as we were talking about Mario off air just now, like the pipes in Super Mario, were they mentioned?

Reegs: they I did mention super

Cris: Yeah,

Pete: I like, especially the noise that they make when you

Sidey: I don't

Reegs: can you do an

Dan: boop,

Reegs: of it? No. No.

Sidey: I don't think that we mentioned the, we have in the very, very long time ago in the past, but Pipes, that BBC Halloween thing. Yeah. Fucking terrified of that. We did have some nominations. Joe Beavis.

Was saying that there's a lot of good pipe content in Django

Cris: Yes.

Pete: Yes.

Sidey: Django himself

Pete: Django himself. He was quite aggressive about it, wasn't he? I saw that on Twitter. He was saying like, I can't believe you guys spent, like, were talking about Tarantino stuff and you didn't mention this. And then he started calling out J Mo for

Sidey: He

said you mentioned Tarantino loads, but missed the pipes in Django Yeah,

Cris: cigars. He said you mentioned Tarantino loads, but missed the Westerns, in the Hateful Eight there's a few scenes with the pipes, and it's not really, because I had Django on my list as well, but if we kind of put Westerns in that bracket, that is a Western, and Hateful Eight is a Western, so we kind of just gave it a shout, and that was it, so grow up, brothers.

Pete: Yeah, yeah. Oh, Gandalf's got a pipe.

Sidey: Yeah, you obviously haven't listened, because

we covered that at length.

Reegs: It was quite, it was alright actually.

Dan: tell you who does listen. Seamus, and he said to say hi.

Pete: Oh, excellent.

Cris: Good

Dan: saw him the

Sidey: stuff, right. Top 5 dinosaurs.

Cris: In movies.

Not

in real life, Peter.

Pete: No, not real life or does anyone have a favorite dinosaur?

Cris: No.

Pete: let's move on. Um so, just just very quickly, what inspired this is that I I have five children as as you all know and none of them. Have been interested in dinosaurs whatsoever until now my suit very soon to be very soon to be two year old

Is absolutely fucking obsessed with dinosaurs.

His first word was raw Like absolute he has always got a dinosaur in his hand watching dinosaurs playing with dinosaurs Nothing else will do he's an absolute dino nut

Reegs: Yeah.

Sidey: What?

Pete: His second word was second word was turtle Which is Triceratops, and that's the only one he distinguishes from all the others, all the others are just raw.

Reegs: That was his second word, is that what he calls you?

Pete: Tur top? Yeah. Yeah. And he calls me daddy now, but that was third.

Okay. Not in a weird way. He like calls me daddy, like, like,

Reegs: Yeah,

Sidey: like,

Reegs: alright, I don't...

Cris: Yeah, we get it.

Pete: Okay. So, right. Where should, who's starting

Reegs: You!

Go on. I'll

Pete: then. Okay. Let's start at the beginning.

So I know this sounds like a weird place to start because this isn't specifically about dinosaurs, but there's loads of dinosaur Fair in the King Kong

Reegs: Yeah.

Pete: And,

Reegs: Renowned for it,

Pete: yeah. And one of the, and it, it was one of the, the offerings I, I put up for, to for us to review for the midweek mention was the original King Kong film of 1933.

Which is like stop animation, almost plaster scene y type stuff.

Reegs: That's got a fight with it. I think every iteration of Kong just about has

Sidey: rex no,

Reegs: no, no No,

Pete: Kong got some information about that. So, you've got, so you've got, if you're saying sort of like true to the original story, so the 1990, 1933 story, you've got that one. And then you've got two more remakes of that film specifically. You've got the 1976 remake, which is Jeff Bridges, Jessica

Sidey: jackson one

Pete: Who?

Reegs: Oh,

Pete: then the, the, and then, and then the, the, the Peter Jackson one. But the 1976 remake specifically removed all dinosaur content from the story because they wanted to focus much more on Kong as the, the main character and didn't want

Sidey: to be in the fight demonstrate his,

Pete: It It, it does,

Sidey: Strength? Because I think he rips its jaw apart, doesn't he?

Percy Jackson.

Pete: No, I'm just, I'm talking about the 1976 one. That remake.

Sidey: one. Yeah, fight that he has with the T Rex in... That in, in the most recent remake.

Pete: That in 2005 one. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. He does have it in there. It is in that, but I'm not talking about

Sidey: No, but I'm saying that fight demonstrates what a double hard bastard is.

Pete: does indeed. But that that fight in fact, and then he kind of like plays with the like the broken jaw of the dinosaur. Like that was in the original in 1933. So that, that stayed true, like, more true to the like, the source material, but and then we've had plenty of other iterations.

I say plenty of other, but there's been Skull Island, which has, They're di are they dinosaurs? It's those fucking skull crawler things, which are bizarre, and I don't know how, like, biolo like, what's the word?

Cris: They just have legs and,

Pete: they would work. They just kind of like got two legs, but they're massive. Do you know remember what I'm talking about?

Reegs: Yeah

vaguely, vaguely. I do remember

Pete: big

Sidey: got them, but there's a question mark.

It's like MonsterVerse, kind of,

Stuff.

Dan: want to

Reegs: Yeah. 'cause God, Godzilla is not really a dinosaur.

Sidey: had

Reegs: Is

Pete: we're gonna cut we're gonna come on so Godzilla is definitely a dinosaur.

Cris: it's a mutated

Pete: Yeah, so we're it's a dinosaur. So well, listen, it's my it's my

Reegs: I don't think God's What do you mean? Why are you just, what do you mean?

Cris: It's a mutated

Sidey: You're a

Reegs: you're a

mutated Mutated, yeah.

Sidey: Yeah. So

Reegs: Yeah. That's not the same thing. That's

Pete: what we're talking about.

Cris: Well, apparently everyone's in agreement that lizards are

Sidey: No, they're not.

Pete: well that, so like dinosaur literally means like something lizard, giant lizard.

Sidey: Pretty lizard.

Pete: sous, I think is the la We all speak Latin here, right? We

had

Reegs: a whole bit which I've deleted from my notes which was talking about the definition

Cris: anyway anyone else?

Reegs: Yeah, but I don't think it's

quite as simple as because it is any member of the family something

Pete: Oh, bore off.

Reegs: I know

Sidey: Godzilla is

Pete: is a fucking dinosaur because it's on my list and we're going to talk about it later.

But anyway, King Kong films, there's loads of dinosaurs in them. Next.

Cris: I've only got one, because unlike Peter, I'm not wanking off the dinosaurs. But I need to remember this, because I've only seen it

Sidey: on, you've

Pete: You should be more prepared than this.

Reegs: this.

What,

Cris: you should be more prepared than Well, I've not seen that many.

Pete: Well you've got one though, like how is it not

Reegs: ready?

Well,

Cris: Well, no, it's, because I couldn't remember the name of this movie, because it's

Pete: Well no, it's, it's like I couldn't remember the name

Cris: And it's called... A nymphoid barbarian in Dinosaur Hell.

Sidey: That's a Troma film, isn't it?

Cris: I don't know what it is, but... What does that mean?

Reegs: that one?

Sidey: I that one? They're a film studio that made all these low budget kind of

Reegs: Yeah, I've seen a load of

Dan: Plasticine.

Sidey: Swamp Thing, but they do Surf Nazis Must Die. They did the

Killer

Reegs: Avenger,

Poultry Guys, Chicken of the Dead.

Sidey: They've got dinosaurs

Cris: that one, I remember that.

Sidey: Yes, they do, you're right.

Cris: So,

Sidey: shout. It's a hell of a shout.

Cris: That's the only one because I remember watching it.

I couldn't really remember the name. I knew it was some weird name. So I just

Reegs: That was the only dinosaur you can think of in an obscure drama movie that you didn't know the name of. Yeah. Wow.

Dan: Sometimes they just stick in your brain

Cris: Well, I don't think I remember any other ones because I don't really think I've watched any dinosaur movies

Dan: you might,

Reegs: Yeah. Well, you don't. you just.

Dan: The Flintstones.

Cris: Yes, I

Dan: heard of him, you know, yabba dabba

Cris: the cartoons.

Dan: so you got the cartoons and they did a live action with John Goodman.

Reegs: Yeah, directed by Martin Scorsese, I

think,

Dan: I think so he had all the

Pete: it was a, it was the, the, what's the sequel? Is it Viva Rock Vegas or something like that?

Sidey: The

Reegs: and they always had like

Dan: Vegas and

Reegs: they always had like a pelican, like,

Dan: It was

Reegs: there was a washing

Dan: that one. It was exploring the, the earlier Flintstone life,

Pete: It was a prequel. that we needed to, to cover.

Dan: so otherwise, that's why you didn't get the

Pete: Yes. So, otherwise, that's why you It went over my head.

Reegs: Dino, Dino D what was it called?

Dino. Dino. Dino. He was literally a dino. He was

Dan: was a, yeah.

Pete: But he sat on a dino, like, at work. He worked in a quarry, didn't he?

Dan: right. Yeah.

Pete: right. And it was like,

Dan: was like. Yabba dabba doo. Not for long. He

Pete: down off the tail. That's it. Yeah, the

Sidey: tail.

Yeah,

Dan: Yeah. The cartoons were good. I liked the, the cartoons.

Pete: rubbish? Yes. Yeah,

Dan: I believe it was.

Yeah. I would like to and John Goodman, the Flintstones, you thought

Pete: have picked a better like person to play like Fred Flintstone than John Goodman.

Really? But

Dan: Don't know where it went. It was

Pete: was it Rick Moranis? Was Barney,

Dan: Yeah. Yeah. Again, you know, yeah, it was a good cause. I think just the writing wasn't good enough. It could have been a little more clever. Maybe they'll revisit it, but they were the, they were the, yeah, they were the actors to do

Pete: Mm-hmm.

Sidey: Toy Story has Rex.

Pete: Yeah.

Sidey: which is the classic. T Rex but this time played against type as in he's a bit cowardly and a

Pete: is a fraidy cat,

Sidey: it's that guy who's the actor of the voice actor that you'd recognize that I can't think of the name of but he's he's obviously small and the voice comes across as being small and scared and worried.

He's very anxious about stuff and in two, he's he can't play.

Pete: His, yeah, his arms, his short arms are too restrictive.

Sidey: do the D pad and the buttons at the same time and

Pete: Yeah. They do in two as well. They do the rip off of the Jurassic Park moment where they see him in the wing mirror in like Barbie's car. They see him covered in the wing

Sidey: Yeah. That's very good. Yeah.

Reegs: Tree and Life, Terrence Malick, you

Sidey: haven't seen it, no.

Reegs: Yeah, it's a Sean Penn movie, sort of about him remembering events from his childhood, but also it's got outer space and the beginning of life on Earth and cells dividing and something coming up out of the tar and a dinosaur. So, in the middle of this, like, weird, arty, sort of, two and a half hour

Dan: I've seen

that, I've seen that before,

Reegs: before. Yeah. One night

Dan: one, one time,

Reegs: and the similarly brilliant Lucy has do you remember that one? The Scarlett Johansson

Sidey: the drugs.

Reegs: Yeah, right towards the end she has that time warp mind bendy thing and she goes through the whole of history and evolution and there's a dinosaur in there.

Dan: There's

a few of those kind of films that use that sequence, isn't there? Just to speed up through the ages and you'll see the dinosaurs

Reegs: enjoy the majesty of time. And basically Bambi with Dinosaurs was the land before time. Anyone

seen that one?

Sidey: Yeah, there's loads of them.

Dan: Time. Was it? Yeah.

Pete: is a lot of

Reegs: George Lucas and Steven Spielberg on the first one.

Sidey: dinosaur content they'd ever done.

Yeah.

Reegs: think? You gonna say that?

Sidey: Well, yeah.

Reegs: And Don Bluth was the animation director and he was the guy who did Dragons Lair. Do you remember that CD ROM game thing?

Sidey: It was on, like, seven

discs.

Reegs: yeah, so, that also.

Pete: It was on like a bit of a, like a nostalgia fest for me and, and why I'm allowing Godzilla was because if you cast your mind back to when there were just four channels and channel four, I'm pretty sure on a Friday night. Would have had something, it would have either have been like, I don't know, like the word, or like Eurotrash, or something like that.

Which I'd like stay up and watch, because it had like swears in it, and maybe a tit,

Reegs: I, I saw one about a woman who would eat particular foods, so that she could shit paint out on, in different

Pete: I

Sidey: none

Pete: thought about the food, so that has anything to do with dinosaurs, but normally what would follow Hot on the Hills a bit would be one of the original Japanese Godzilla movies, which I mean, I've got the numbers here. There were 33 of them made the

Reegs: of them featuring dinosaurs,

Pete: Yeah. Godzilla. Cause he was a dinosaur.

Sidey: a

Pete: he is a dinosaur.

We

Sidey: isn't a

Pete: got, thank you, Chris.

Sidey: He's just a kaiju. He's just a

Pete: right. Well, we've got a split room, Dan Godzilla dinosaur or not. Yes or no. Oh, prick. I'm still gonna talk about it then. But yeah, the original one was 1954. I used to love him. It was the first It's

Sidey: in a Suit,

Pete: Suitmation is what it's called. And what you'd end up with is like then when there were other dinosaurs, there's others that would like feature in the films like Rodan, and there's Varan, and Mothra, and stuff like that.

You'd like they'd end up when they were rather like bipedal like dinosaurs as opposed to like winged ones And so they'd they'd be like drop kicks and stuff going on Almost so it's basically like Power Rangers before there was power range because there's quite a lot of dinosaur Fair in in Power Rangers down the years as well, I think

But yeah, like those films.

Is

Sidey: there's a,

Pete: you must get your nerd on for Godzilla films?

Reegs: for Godzilla films. Yeah, I like, I haven't seen the early one. For a while. Right. And there it is. Something about its anniversary and, oh no, there's a new TV

Sidey: There's an Apple Apple TV

Pete: Right,

Sidey: the max series coming out.

Pete: So Godzilla is officially, according to the Guinness Book of Records, is the longest running film franchise

Sidey: that isn't about a dinosaur

Pete: That is about dinosaurs, yeah. So and it and then it's that you had the because one of the original Japanese ones was was King Kong vs Godzilla Godzilla the dinosaur and then they remade that in the monster verse thingy or whatever.

Okay, that's enough about Godzilla Chris,

Reegs: run a poll. we should

run a

Pete: Run a poll.

Cris: Press your one that I just remembered. It's a video by Fatboy Slim and he's got dinosaurs in it. Right here, right now.

Pete: Oh yeah. Yeah. It's got the, like the evolution evolutionary thing. Yeah. It's a, it's a good song and a good

Dan: Yeah, but we, you're right, we should have a poll on that. We should let the listeners decide.

It's

Sidey: It's difficult because we, Twitter's

X, where the fuck is called is fuck, so we don't get any, we'd get a poll of zero, like

one or two votes.

Pete: Well, let's not just

Reegs: give well let's just start. Let's

Dan: Just

Sidey: No, I was, what I

was going to say

Dan: any way you want to give it

Sidey: this is a, a conversation for another time,

but we should resurrect the discord. We should resurrect the Discord channel

Dan: Maybe.

Sidey: Yeah. Okay.

Pete: let's do that.

Just so that we can nail this, this

Sidey: can, we can, we can find out Once and all. that. It's not a dinosaur

Pete: Go down. We

Dan: We, we might need to. Well, I'm, I'm going to

Reegs: from Rodan to Goan.

Dan: I, I don't normally do this, but I'm a bit short on, on content and I, so I'm going to suggest two films or I'm going to talk about two films I've not seen, but they, they, They seem to kind of feature quite well. So you've got the veloci pasta.

Sidey: VelociPasta,

Dan: Yeah, a deliberately over the top B movie comedy where a priest gains the ability to turn into a dinosaur and decides to fight crime.

Have you seen that? Anyone? no. I watched

Sidey: amazing. I do have a,

like, I'm a little bit cynical about deliberately shit B movie type films.

Dan: Right. Yeah, well, I,

Reegs: one on my list.

Dan: well, here's another one. It's a low budget action comedy film involving time travelling soldiers who battle Nazi dinosaurs and that's Jurassic Thunder 2019.

So doesn't it?

Pete: Nazi

Reegs: Nazi dinosaurs?

Pete: explicitly makes them Nazis?

Reegs: They hate

Dan: I know no more other than it's called Jurassic Thunder.

Pete: it's The name doesn't really tie

Reegs: They're fascists. They're fascist dinosaurs.

the

Dan: eat anything.

Reegs: terrible.

Dan: So check them out and let me know what you thought. I've

Sidey: I've got another music video because you've just thrown one out there. What about Gravel Pit by Wu Tang

Pete: Oh, yeah, yeah,

Cris: is good

Sidey: pretty crudely animated dinosaur towards the end.

And then we, sometimes we mention the films that we've seen on the pod, but this is a... kids program that we've watched was Dino Dana.

Oh, yeah. Which

was really educational about various different

kinds. I

was really horny about her mom. Yeah.

Reegs: Yeah.

but it's good that, that, that's still both my kids enjoyed

Sidey: Yeah. There's a, there's this also a Dino Dan, I think. Yeah. Or it's not, it's nowhere near as good.

Cris: Well, if his name is Dan, it must be terrible.

Dan: is Dan,

Pete: And no fit mums.

Sidey: No.

Reegs: Carnosaur was infamous B movie director, Roger Corman he tried to cash in on the sort of marketing for Jurassic Park and made this incredible 1993 movie.

It was named the worst movie of 1993 by Roger Ebert and it's got Diane Ladd as the mad scientist, Dr. Tripty, and she like, Monkeys around with chicken DNA, basically getting them to lay dinosaur eggs. And then later on, it's her horrifying plan to exterminate the human race by unleashing a virus that will make all women in the world become fatally pregnant with dinosaurs.

Whereupon they will take over the Earth. Yeah, it's even better than it sounds,

Dan: Again, they've gone with the all female dinosaur thing then, I guess,

Reegs: Spawn 2 sequels Carnasaur 2 and Carnasaur 3 Primal Species are not seen, either of those. Or the two other installments, Raptor and 2007's Tyrannosaurus Rex. But with it's W R E, that works better on

Pete: Sorry, W R

Reegs: E C K S,

Pete: Oh, got it.

Sidey: I would hazard a guess that Breachy's seen all of those.

Reegs: Maybe, yeah, maybe. One Million Years B. C.? I loved all of those kind of like, Ray Harryhausen, stop motion, dinosaur ones, I can't remember lots of names.

I was Googling through, like, remember watching them as a kid, definitely remember the beast from 20, 000 Fathoms, it's like, I'm not sure now with our Godzilla thing, whether it really is a

Sidey: land before crime

Reegs: Yeah, all of that stuff. So that can all go in.

Fill up

Pete: mention 1 million years BC

Reegs: without Raquel Welsh.

I did. They,

Pete: worth watching the film for in itself, in her fur bikini.

Reegs: Yeah. But also the triceratops battle is good as well.

Pete: It, it is as good, but not, they're not wearing fur bikinis in that

Sidey: more's

Pete: in that. Yeah. Moores the pity. Indeed. So a a film, a 1975 film that I, I put out there as, as a possibility for what we were gonna watch in the midweek mention, but we avoided it and is one of our dinosaurs is missing

Sidey: I think even as a sort of seven year old, I thought this is a bit...

Pete: So it is. And, and this is, there was a like there was a movement in the early seventies that started dealing with things like this. Like is, is this like, you know, inappropriate and, and,

Reegs: go on, explain

it, because it's not, maybe not everyone's...

Pete: Okay. So for those who don't know, it's, it's the worst. I mean, I'm not even sure if, if the term is still universally used or not, but it's the worst case of, or the depiction of yellow face you've ever seen in your life.

Where you've got completely, like, you know, Caucasian actors who have their eyes, like, taped back, and they are painted, their faces painted yellow, and they put on the, you know, like, the sort of, like, the mock Chinese accent. The thing is, in itself, like, if you park all of that stuff, the film itself, I remember absolutely loving as

Sidey: like an entertaining sort of crime caper

for kids. With

Pete: I mean,

Sidey: loads

Reegs: it, the one where they're driving with the

Pete: with the dinosaur. Yeah, so what, so what it is, there's, there's a microfilm. That contains and it's called Lotus X. And what they're trying to do is there's some spies, there's some British spies, there's some Chinese guys that are all after this microfilm.

No one's really sure. Well, you're not, the audience doesn't really know why. You just know that there's something pretty cool on it. And someone hides the microfilm in the Natural History Museum in one of the, like, the massive, like, skeletons in the, brontosaurus or something.

Sidey: No such

Pete: When they get Okay when they get...

Dan: I feel like, honestly, this is the craziest story

Pete: Have you never heard? You've never seen one of our dinosaurs is

Sidey: It's like a

Disney film or

something like that. I think it's a, Disney live

Pete: a, a, a kid, it's like pretty much for kids, I'd say like, but like

Sidey: it's a kid's film,

Pete: a, a, a kid,

Reegs: We all saw it when you were kids. You probably were well into your pension

Pete: Exactly, exactly. So, but yeah, so what they, what they do is they, they can't find it and they're about to get caught.

So they have the genius idea of, Of stealing the actual dinosaur skeleton and putting it on the back of this big, like, sort of steam truck engine thing that they've got and driving it around, there's a big chase around London, you know, like the cops are after them, but this dinosaur kind of, like, goes past loads of window, like, you know, second story windows and stuff and people are, like, looking out the window screaming because this big

Sidey: Being racist.

Pete: yeah, yeah, and it turns out in the end that what was on the microphone was actually a recipe for wonton soup.

Ha! Yeah,

Reegs: Yeah.

Pete: the whole film was a complete waste of time, but all the horrible racism and, and,

Sidey: That was all valid.

Pete: and everything aside, it was, it was a fun film and you should watch it, Dan.

Dan: Okay.

Cris: look at me, I don't have any more

Reegs: He only had one, and, yeah.

Dan: Now I'm dino

Reegs: done.

You're done,

Sidey: I've got one more. I mean, like your ones, Dan, it's, it's, I haven't actually seen this one, but it does sound glorious. It's Theodore Rex.

Reegs: have seen that,

Sidey: Okay, well you talk about it then.

Reegs: Can you talk about that? Oh, well, Friend of My People, Whoopi Goldberg, in a sort of buddy action movie thing, where she's paired up with a talking dinosaur.

I mean, yeah, it's, yeah, absolutely woeful.

Dan: Getting that script through the door.

Reegs: Yeah. I had that on my list. I also had The Good Dinosaur as well, Pixar, your

Sidey: I haven't seen that one. I did have Super Mario Bros. because they were, it's canon, they were dinosaurs.

Reegs: were, they were

Pete: Sorry?

Sidey: In the Super Mario Bros. original film, not the new animated one, but the, the Dennis Hopper

Hoskins one, John Leguizamo, a meteor has hit and caused the dinosaurs to mutate into the...

Cooper things in a parallel universe.

That's right.

Pete: Oh, I thought you meant like the actual Mario Brothers

Reegs: They are actual dinosaurs.

not like Godzilla, who isn't

Sidey: Yes,

Pete: Well, Godzilla is, I've just looked it up on Google and Google

Sidey: says, no, I didn't,

Pete: it is. And exactly what Chris said. It's a mutated dinosaur.

Sidey: Did not.

Pete: Yeah, absolutely. You, do you have some more, have you some more?

Reegs: you know, when you're just like,

hungover or something you watch just one of those like sci fi channel movies you ever watched

Sidey: those Yeah. dozens of those sorts of

Reegs: dozens of those sorts of things triassic world and jurassic predator and starring like c list actors like

Sidey: all that's

Dan: Just on,

Reegs: none that i can recall in any detail because they're all like maximum sort of two star movies but

Pete: But you've watched them?

Reegs: Yeah, sometimes,

Pete: Yes. Amazing.

Sidey: Right, shall we whittle it down? I've

Pete: I've just got a few more.

There's one that I wanted to cover off. There's quite a lot of kids ones. You didn't even mention Barney.

Reegs: Oh, the Barney Cinematic University. How many entries in the Barney Cinematic University do you think there are?

Pete: Cinematic University.

Sidey: I don't know, I would go for one.

Dan: I would go for...

Reegs: Fifty five, there are. And I remember John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, if you remember that. So do you remember that song? No.

Sidey: No.

Reegs: Alright, that drove me absolutely bonkers, that song.

Pete: Does anyone remember the, the, the sort of kids like.

Live

action thing. What was it live actually? It was people in suits. Dinosaurs. With a really creepy baby thing.

Sidey: hated

Reegs: of The Simpsons, but like the same set up.

Sitcom style,

Pete: like walking around in their kitchen and stuff with like

Sidey: I honestly hated that so

Pete: I

Reegs: was. And it ended them, literally, with them all dying.

Sidey: Yeah, That was the best bit. Is anyone else having back spasms or is it just me?

Pete: think it's just here.

Reegs: I know, it's not normally catching that.

Pete: No.

The one thing I did want to talk about was there was a series that if any did anyone else catch 2011's Terranova

Reegs: Tell me more because

Pete: It was so it's so that the one of the main guys in it was Stephen Lang. You know, he's like the main baddie and avatar. And so he's,

Reegs: yeah, don't breathe.

Pete: he's a goodie. in this. The premise is that it's the years like 2149 and the

world is dying and what they they've discovered technology that can send people back in time.

So you can live in a version of earth. Don't think they know exactly when, how far back you go, and they end up basically getting sent back to a time where, when the dinosaurs are around, so they set up, like, colonies to escape this, like, dying world. Steven Lang gets sent through first, and he's been there, like, six months, kind of surviving by himself, and he's set up the camp, and then all of a sudden, people start coming through, and it's all kind of, like, harmonious, new world, obviously Terra Nova and then people start coming from the future and fucking shit up, basically, and then they're, they're, they're sort of, like, you know, you know,

Sidey: Back to

Pete: No, you can't, you can't go back to the future and they, but they built it up over, it was either like 13 episodes or whatever. It's pretty cool. Like,

Sidey: sounds like a lot.

Pete: it was, it was decent. And then like it just

Reegs: just never go

Pete: can and that the cliffhanger right at the end was at one point they get, they have to set up.

So all the goodies end up setting up another camp and leaving all the rot, the rotters to live in the original one. And they just happen across, like, some kind of, like, 18th century, like, ship, just in the middle of the jungle. And obviously, how did that get there? And so on. And then that

Reegs: And the great thing about this sort of tea, like if you find a TV series like that, there's a little bit niche that you really enjoy, like one season of and you'd like think, well, maybe one day I'd watch that again.

I really resonated with me now, the way that streaming companies do it, they just destroy that media, like forever. It's gone. You'll never be able to enjoy that. Not even the creators got a copy.

Sidey: Yeah, that's good. But there's a little, there'll be like fan fiction online where all the characters fuck and stuff like that. So you can

Reegs: so that makes up for it.

Sidey: Yeah.

Pete: Okay,

Sidey: Right, let's split it down because it's going on for way too long.

Pete: Yeah.

Sidey: I am gonna put in Rex from Toy Story.

Dan: I'm going Flintstones.

Reegs: The megalodon.

Sidey: Megalodon. Oh, yeah, good shout.

Pete: That's a shock.

Sidey: It's yeah, prehistoric

Reegs: a megalodon.

Presto.

Pete: a dinosaur.

Sidey: Yes, it is. Categorically. What a prick.

Pete: It's, it's as much a dinosaur as Godzilla

Sidey: No, it

Reegs: It is more

Dan: it isn't. No, this one is. This is

Sidey: It's

Pete: it's a shark.

Sidey: It's the more than sign.

a

plesiosaur,

Reegs: AIA saw, right? Is that a dinosaur to you?

Pete: Yes.

Sidey: He doesn't know what it

is.

Reegs: there you go. A megalodon is

just

Dan: He's just, oh, that's it, Pete.

Pete: But we're agreed. God's said as a lizard, right?

We're agreed he's a lizard.

Reegs: a lizard, Yeah, So, but our...

Dan: a

Pete: dinosaurs are giant lizards, so Godzilla is in, and my vote is Godzilla.

I'm going with Godzilla. Chris, you had one,

Cris: Fatboy Slim.

Pete: Okay, there we go. Ha

Sidey: Pete's one is not valid. And let's just go to Twitter. No, nothing there. So that's really, really

Pete: Oh, sorry, anyone remember Denver the Last Dinosaur?

Reegs: Denver the Last Dinosaur.

Pete: He's my friend and a whole lot more.

Reegs: I

Sidey: creepy.

Pete: Yeah, voiced by Pat Frehley, who is also the voice of Krang in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

FACTOID!

Sidey: Oh! Factoid! I watched the new Turtles film.

Pete: Okay.

Reegs: I hear that's good.

Sidey: really good.

Any dinosaurs? No. Right, that's good, isn't it? So hopefully by the time we get around to next week, we'll have been inundated online.

Reegs: didn't even mention Jurassic Park.

Pete: Oh yeah, all the Jurassic Park stuff.

Sidey: a few weeks back we had the absolute mother load of, like, the perfection. Certainly the strongest cheese board that we've had, and they have given us a different offering tonight.

Pete: Yeah. So the challenge for them is to try and find new cheeses that we have not yet tried. 'cause we've been doing this for years now.

Mm-hmm. And. What we have tonight we've got, we've got a couple that we've had before the, the Trou de Crou which is in its little parcel over there, which normally on any other night would be the most offensive thing in the room once you let it out of its little tupperware. We've also got the the Briade Savarine, which is another soft cheese, which is really nice and creamy.

We haven't actually got that on the go just yet. What we've done is gone for the two so far that we've not had before. One is the Rebluchon Fermier Mecellier. Which now I say it makes me think like we've had it before but what it it's it's taste is quite nice quite

Cris: yes. Yeah. Yeah.

Pete: bit sweet nutty. Yes, it is quite nice, but it has the the stench of halitosis

Sidey: Yeah,

Pete: It smells incredibly like anyone who's listening and can't smell it if you if you know that person that's got the really bad breath Yeah, that teacher.

Sidey: Someone who would invade your personal space with their bad breath.

Yeah,

Pete: and you have to and you then have to like breathe through your mouth to just

Sidey: Yeah, you have to hold your breath when you attempt this cheese, but then the actual flavour of it is

lovely,

Pete: flavor of it. And in fact, I did, I wasn't even reading the notes, but yeah, a taste, it's delicately sweet and fruity with a nutty finish. That's exactly what it is.

And it pairs lovely with the toast. But tonight, the, I mean this, is this a first time?

Sidey: This

is a

Pete: This is a bad dad's exclusive. We are gonna get a live tasting of a cheese because what we have here, but, so Dan has in in his hand here, Before he pops it in his gob. A Val d'Eon, which is a Picos Blue. A rich and powerful cow's milk blue cheese from the wooded mountains of the Picos de Europa. Oh, and he's gone in. He has gone in.

Dan: Wow.

Okay.

Pete: Yeah?

Sidey: I don't know what the cheese scale...

Pete: Okay the cheese is wrapped in sycamore leaves and matured in natural limestone caves. Now... I'm getting, I got strong battery

Dan: Yeah, that's what I'm getting. I'm getting

that lime

Pete: drunk some like,

Reegs: Like some Raljex. This is like licking a Petri dish.

Sidey: Yeah, it's definite acid reflex taste to it. It's, even when you've swallowed it, you can feel it in your gut, like still kicking your ass.

Reegs: It's revolting.

Pete: it's

Dan: We've

got this thing on the farm where I work called Paracress and it's got a very similar kind of thing. We used to give it to people. Try, make him try all the tomatoes and all the, the goji berries and the raspberries and go and then try this one, like, you know, and it was battery acid, basically, it would just make your, your tongue numb, much like this is doing right now.

I've,

Reegs: You're not going to be able to finish that,

are you?

Dan: no, I've taken a big chunk, really. I've taken half that shit.

Pete: going to get

Dan: It's still not gone

Sidey: down.

It's

Reegs: difficult to get across, really, isn't it? Because the experience of eating that really was quite unpleasant.

Well,

Dan: And

Sidey: 11.

That wouldn't get close.

Pete: Yeah, like they

Reegs: not even in the... It's like about a thousand, it's

Sidey: like

Reegs: in a completely

Pete: it's like on the Scoville now we're getting it so you could weaponize

Dan: need, you need some strong port maybe to

Pete: exactly what we said. Yeah.

Reegs: I had a Rolo for the sweetness of the Rolo to cut through it

Pete: Yeah, have a mawam.

Sidey: that does segue very nicely into this week's main film, which is the appallingly titled 65.

Pete: is indeed. Right. So, let's just get this out there. Early doors because I know

Dan: you're not

Pete: hang on. Whoa, whoa, whoa. This

Dan: out of it. Pete, this is your choice. Yeah, you're weak.

Pete: stuff very soon. Very,

Dan: trying to, he's going to try and, but let's just review the film and then you

Pete: No, no, no, no. I'm, I'm just saying, right? So, Obviously this what this did is set the wheels in

Dan: how does it start res

Pete: Dan, can

Sidey: you stop it

Pete: please?

Dan: So no res is gonna tell us how it

Pete: how this came about is I watched a couple of films I said on the group I watched a couple of films I hadn't seen before on my recent flights to Florida and back and

Sidey: I'm gonna edit

all

Pete: One of them don't do that One of them was 65 and the other one was another film and you and I said and you guys voted for this one

Reegs: Yeah.

Pete: And you made a grave error

Dan: You gave us a short list.

Pete: Yeah, I gave you a choice and you made the wrong

Sidey: Well, we

dunno that yet. film we dunno that, yet

Dan: the other film that you suggested, I'd seen

Pete: you suggested I'd see. So, yeah. And it was a brilliant film.

Dan: And it was

Sidey: was that, godfather?

Dan: your choice, I feel, Pete,

Sidey: Oh, I didn't wanna watch that. I've, well, I'm, I'm glad that I watched this.

Pete: You're not. You won't. If you watch The Whale, it's way better than this. But anyway, let's not give too much away. This is 65.

Dan: Adam Driver. Let's get excited. Adam Driver.

Sidey: Yeah, we like him.

Pete: kind of like, dinosaur y, sci fi, Adam Driver y. Listen, I like Adam Driver, he just happens to have been in the worst films ever made, which is Patterson, and now he's gone even way

Sidey: beyond

Pete: that.

Cris: It sounds like you're making excuses for yourself.

Pete: No, I just knew, it's called a pre emptive strike, Chris. I knew Craven's gunning for me because he's had a fucking howler

Sidey: shut up, you're boring everyone. I was aware that this had kind of tanked and wasn't brilliantly received

when it was released.

Pete: didn't know any of that. So

it.

yeah.

Sidey: did vote for it?

Reegs: Yeah, I tell you, yeah, nobody's disputing

Sidey: that. Yeah.

Yeah,

Pete: okay, good. Let's

Cris: Let's review how it starts, the film. Please set the scene

Dan: The scene of Peter's choice.

Pete: It's not my choice, your choice.

Reegs: it's it's a Danny Elfman and Chris Bacon and Michael Ghiacchino

score. Is that how you pronounce his name? Yeah. That that opens it up. The majesty of space and I think we see like the the, the pillars of creation, that famous photo. Do you remember in the Eagle Nebula and we zoom past that and we're put, we're told before the advent of mankind, all very awe, awe inspiring and very long winded way of saying a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

And we then end up on a planet Solymaris, or something it's called?

Samaris. And it's basically functionally identical to our planet, except they're a space faring civilization. They still haven't cracked universal healthcare. Otherwise there wouldn't be a movie. And the fucking Americans, their version of Americans there, they still don't give...

Right, so they're supposed to be, you know, it's just Anyway.

Dan: a... Well, this is actually, this, this is back, isn't it? This is we're in a world, the light seems a little bit different, the sea's kind of an orangey pink rather than a blue. There's

Reegs: The rocks are a bit curly.

Dan: A family. There's a young girl on the, the shore practicing a, a, a whistle and then there's

Sidey: She's shy to have it, Yeah.

She has to come over and tell her

how to do

Reegs: that

Pete: Yeah. Yeah.

Reegs: Have you tried? Did you try

Cris: Yeah, I've tried as

Dan: so what we're doing, we're clapping our hands together in the thumb,

Pete: not clapping them at all.

Dan: Pushing them

Sidey: I

also in Gone Fishing this week, they did the one with the blade of grass in between.

Reegs: Yeah, the grass one

Pete: I can do that

Sidey: Like a reed whistle or

Pete: Yeah, it was only when I put my hands to my mouth, I realised that was the one I can do, not the one

Sidey: Yeah, yeah. Anyway, brilliant content that is for everyone. Adam Driver's daughter can't do that. She can't be healthy

Reegs: can't breathe properly, the unspecified

Dan: an unspecified illness which results in Adam Driver taking a longer than normal delivery

Sidey: job.

He thinks I'm gonna fuck this lot off.

Longer

Pete: than normal delivery jobs are great. Yeah,

Dan: he's, well normally he does two weeks or two months. He explains that and this is going to be a lot longer. It's going to be a couple of years, but it's going to give him the money and the wife says,

Reegs: haven't got universal healthcare. What is wrong with them?

Dan: least we'll go, what is 65 million years ago? Isn't it? It's even before that. So, although they

Sidey: that's only relative to Earth's

Dan: Yeah. They, they are,

Pete: Yeah, they've got spaceships and shit. They should be

Reegs: they've got enough

Dan: do have spaceships. Yeah. And they are

Reegs: daughter's lungs.

Sidey: They've

Dan: Yeah, we don't know what's wrong but

Sidey: Oh, with the film in general?

Reegs: know that money will fix it,

Dan: We, money will fix it. Unfortunately this means that Adam Driver needs to transport some passengers to another planet and come back again. Then he'll have the money and she'll be fixed by then, it'll be sound.

Sidey: Yeah,

Reegs: They're all in stasis, and his job is basically to supervise the ship, and and he's asleep one day when he's woken up, and they're in the middle of a sort of meteor storm that was uns you know, not

Dan: unreported, not on the charts. This is a

Sidey: Do you remember when 2001, which was 1968, something like that, had a spaceship with, you know, human cargo and looked a lot better than this, even though this is like fucking six years later

or something. yeah. it's a pretty cheap TV set.

Reegs: It looks pretty cheap TV

Sidey: it looked fairly barren.

Reegs: And yeah, pretty quickly he's, he's got all these guys in cryo stasis or whatnot in pods behind him. And the ship is struck by meteors and pretty quickly crash lands in a thrilling sequence where it breaks into two

parts on its crash landing.

Gets smack bang into a swamp, doesn't he?

Dan: We think Red Dwarf, at any point,

there

Sidey: Wasn't as

good as that.

Dan: no, but they're set on the On the spaceship and things, it was

Sidey: just think this is really budget. Yeah, it just looked like it

Reegs: the budget was like 90

Sidey: Yeah, well, it wasn't thrown together for nothing. It was 45 million in the budget, but it didn't look

Reegs: Where was it? And

Sidey: I mean, it did look like it could have been done by a simple few commands in fucking AI.

Reegs: Mmm.

Sidey: anyhow we do like Adam driver. So I was still enthusiastic.

Reegs: Yeah? Oh no, I was well up for this. Anyway, even knowing how shit it was supposed to be. And he's been hurt in the crash, hasn't he?

Sidey: got some shrapnel,

yeah.

Reegs: So they got fast and light travel but at least he's got a drawer with some scissors and some bandage in,

Sidey: and bandages. there

Dan: is some special spray as well, I

Reegs: Yeah, he sprays some jizz on him that hurts him and then he quickly goes outside and has a look doesn't he in his spacesuit. Well, actually there is quite an effective little moment where, right, he looks in the back where I thought where some of the cargo, the human cargo would be and all this blood like

Pete: Yeah, there was one where it, it, like, as he opens the door, like, it almost, it explodes, like, remains out of it and so on, yeah, so... Yeah. Which we're, we're led to believe that he's probably by himself,

Dan: He's the sole survivor, yeah. It's

Pete: soup.

Reegs: Yeah, and he goes out looking for more pods that have been ejected in the crash, and as he goes, he arms himself, and I think we see a few beasties

Dan: Yeah, well there's, he's in alien lands, isn't he, he's, he's in kind of this,

Pete: Yeah, I was getting strong dagger

Dan: this landscape that is just full of sounds and and shadows and things and he, he kind of, He's trying to locate supplies and the other side of the ship, isn't

Reegs: Well, not yet. He doesn't, he hasn't quite got that bit yet.

'cause he spots that later, doesn't he? Because this is a bit where he is like ship damage beyond repair. He records a message saying Come and save me. And then he's like, actually fuck it, I'm just gonna top myself. Yeah, yeah. And

Dan: But he goes out looking, didn't he? There's a beep and there's

Reegs: later.

It's Yeah. He sees

Dan: person is, is out there. So, he goes hunting and sure enough, it's a, a girl he finds.

Cris: In one of the capsules, no?

Dan: Yeah, and there's lots of, as he makes this way across the, the terrain, it's You know, there's something out there, you know, there's, there's kind of noises

Sidey: there's plenty of noises, yeah.

Dan: But we haven't seen anything yet.

but he's got this, as you say, this kick ass gun, no health care, but a gun that is, is like got

Sidey: is...

He was able to utilize his marine training because he's obviously, Adam Driver's ex marine. This is the first film he's

ever used

Reegs: He actually fought real dinosaurs in Afghanistan. And so, yeah, he goes and rescues Koa and he carries her back and that's when he looks down and you see a footprint, don't you?

Yeah. On the floor. And it's a T Rex footprint. And that is when you get the title reveal. Sixty

Dan: And we we're a

Reegs: Seventeen minutes, eleven seconds, Dan, we were in. To the movie and we get the title up 65 and then it says million years ago a visitor crash landed on

Earth. Definitely the

best bit of the movie by a long, even if it, if you've managed to get to yeah.

Yeah.

Dan: Definitely the best bit of the movie by a lot

Reegs: a, he was there on earth, our

Pete: because he had to go uphill at some point, but the film itself. went in the other direction, but he's got this, he's got this girl, obviously this, this, you know, he's got his own daughter that he, for, for whom he is do embarked on this mission in the first place. Although the, the whole setup of that was really kind of like wishy washy and happened really quickly and you didn't feel anything for anybody, but he's now got this girl that he needs to look after.

They are now, he has confirmed that she is the only other survivor. And she doesn't speak the same language as

Reegs: No.

Pete: They speak different languages.

Dan: and their translate is broken. So,

Pete: Indeed. So they have to communicate as we do often on holiday when you want things with you

Reegs: By pouring red powder on a table and drawing a mountain

on it.

Pete: Yeah, he does do that.

Dan: Pointing

to their mum and dad that might be there, but

Reegs: She's like, family?

He's

Dan: yeah,

Reegs: yeah, he knows that everyone's dead.

Dan: which I thought was a good call because she would have never have gone or you know He needed to get her on the

Pete: Well she didn't have much else to

Dan: No, but she

Pete: would have gone

Dan: she was Yeah, she didn't need that news then.

They still had to get up there and it was dangerous. So she needed the hope of something to take her up there. That's what I kind of judged from it.

Reegs: She's nine in the script. Nine. She's about seventeen, isn't she, in this. Honestly, nine she is. Anyway Yeah, we actually sort of, she's actually asleep for when unconscious for that bit of the movie and when we actually get first properly introduced to her when he goes out, he sees the guys is because that will come back later.

The acidic guys is and then he's attacked by like, he goes out with his holographic. Gizmo, that he can,

Dan: Yeah, the one tool that's still working is this kind of locator, isn't it?

And it's well it's a bit of a... Jack of all trades tool, isn't it? It

Pete: do everything. It's

Reegs: everything. except allow him to communicate with, even if they, he can't even set it to another language, her language, like you can with your phone.

No. And get her to point to, like, words or use it like, there's no... Anyway That was the biggest or? No, but

there were just quite a lot of them,

Pete: yeah.

Reegs: He gets attacked by a sort of giant chicken thing, doesn't he?

Dan: Yeah. Yeah, he, he manages to, to take that down. I thought he was gonna, like taking for food or something, but he, he didn't, he just kind of ran off, didn't he?

And yeah, they didn't seem to eat a lot, actually,

Reegs: No, they didn't. And in fact, that plays into the plot, doesn't it? Because they're walking along, she's throwing berries at him and he's like, no, don't, don't eat that. This is when they're on the way to the mountain. And that's when they, after that they come across some cute little herbivore trapped in some oil.

I did actually quite like this bit. And she, like, forces them to free it. And you think, oh, is that gonna be nice? And then it's just savaged by, like, a whole bunch velociraptors.

Dan: right. Yeah. About 20 yards further on.

Reegs: And then she insists, this was the best part of the movie probably where she insists he wears a flower in his hair as he walked. Definitely peaks, that's the movie peak there.

Pete: mean, I think what it's, it's trying to portray is that obviously because they look humanoid, like he would easily confuse them with humans. And were they from, say, the future and they'd gone back to that, they would at least recognize that these are like dinosaurs or whatever. But to us, as the

viewers, these are dinosaurs, but to them, they're just like aliens.

This is like, they, you know, like the. It's like alien or whatever. They're coming across these like bizarre looking things that are terrifying and it all seems to be attacking you and so on. But it didn't

Reegs: really... Yeah, it's a really good idea, isn't it? Yeah.

Pete: It is a good idea, but they really didn't put it across or convey it

Dan: Yeah, it is a good idea, but I really didn't think about it. And that is the the early kind of damage that did his shipping as well. So yeah

Reegs: So there's a ticking clock element introduced.

There's a bunch of dyno. I guess we don't need to go through it all. There's probably no need worth talking about. Is the scene where she a sort of hideous insect goes in her mouth while she's asleep? Yeah. This was like a draft for like, like a, from something from a completely different movie in this for about

Sidey: Yeah. like a horror,

Reegs: Like a horror movie. Yeah. It was in her mouth and she's like foaming, like horrible sort

Dan: That's right, and he brings out some tool, again, doesn't translate, but it, it's able to pull out worms and, from the mouth or something, and then she's almost instantly

Reegs: Yeah, she's

Pete: is, yeah.

Dan: Yeah.

Reegs: And then there's a shotgun to the face of a Some sort of massive

Sidey: thing.

Reegs: Yeah, lizard. And then they end up getting separated, basically. And there's some more hijinks before they come back together.

Pete: Well, is that they get separated in the, because of the cave scene. Yeah. Don't they? That was a uncomfortable watching for me. As

Sidey: Oh, you're a

claustrophobe.

Pete: a claustropho, yeah. But yeah, they go into the, that, that's the worst thing.

I actually, I was on some water slides recently and as I was going down one of the water slides, I thought, What if something collapsed and broke the water slide and then it came to a dead end and I'm now down this water slide And I can't get back up it

Dan: That'd be so funny.

Pete: Ohhhh

Sidey: but anyway.

Reegs: stuff. It was another bit that really bothered me because they got stuck and he was like being real, like an edgelord about it and so emotional and all this stuff and I was thinking you've already shown us you've got these tiny explosives in your pocket.

You've shown, they've used it in the plot about Four times already, like,

Dan: She wastes

Reegs: sake, catch up with, you want the movie to catch up with you.

Sidey: dinosaur

Dan: as well, which is annoying. We've also seen these kind of slide, this slideshow of

his

daughter and her messages to him. And there's a slow decline where she's in, like, hospital it is like... You know, to the,

Pete: just the way the film handled it was just like, because it would, it would just cut to it, you know, momentarily.

It's like, Oh, she's, she's not doing so well. Okay. Well the race against time, the asteroid and everything like this, this

Reegs: is

Pete: going to like, keep, this is going to be tense right to the end of the film. Like, is he going to make it back on time or anything like that? And it's just like, Oh, she's dead. Like literally she died.

Reegs: But then sometimes it wasn't completely clear whether he was like, dreaming about it. Like sometimes they show a shot of him, because the first one is when he's dreaming about his daughter and he wakes up when it happens and all that stuff. So it wasn't completely clear

Dan: He's dreaming about his daughter, and then it just kind of stopped abruptly. But it was okay, because he had another girl around the same age, and now he can look after

Reegs: surrogate

Sidey: that. Yeah, it's okay. Yeah. So, yeah,

Dan: there you go.

Reegs: There's a great scene where he climbs a tree to get the... Holographic choral working again and he falls down and when he comes down he's acting it's I thought he sustained a brain injury because he's like wandering around going oh oh like he's popped his he's dislocated shoulder right that's a

Sidey: It was instantly fine.

Reegs: but it's Adam Driver method acting it like

Sidey: She had to... Pop his elbow back in or something so he could fire his gun again, didn't he?

Yeah, yeah. They were,

Dan: nose,

Sidey: and it was instantly fire with no prolonged

trauma. Have

Dan: a million dinosaurs after that, including a T Rex. And then if it's not over yet, because they get to the ship which has the escape pod a rescue ship is there, but fuck me if the comet isn't coming now, the asteroid. It's it's on its way

Reegs: Not only that, but it's gonna land, like, where they are,

it's gonna like, hit them!

It's gonna hit all

the planet as well, yeah. It's gonna hit, it's not like, over there as well, it's like, literally coming for you.

Sidey: And

Pete: if that wasn't all challenging enough, we start getting loads of T Rexes just coming out. We're making life really, like, a lot harder. I think the shuttle, the escape shuttle's upside down as

Reegs: That's right.

Pete: Which, doesn't...

Dan: that's right, until the T rex puts it right.

Reegs: And then they use the hollow projection of the daughter to distract. He can watch his daughter be... His hologrammatic image of his daughter be savaged

Sidey: By,

Reegs: by,

Dan: velociraptors or

Pete: I mean, he does, he, he momentarily goes off to, to be chased by the T-rex so that they, so that we can bring back in the, the, the acidic Giza that you, that you mentioned before.

Yeah.

Reegs: Yeah.

Pete: Which in the first hit does absolutely nothing to the T Rex, but the second one like, melts all its skin off its

Reegs: Yeah, like Wicked Witch of the West or something.

Dan: Yeah,

it

Pete: Completely

Reegs: And they

Dan: be a comedy,

Reegs: Hang

on, hang on, because we do get a money shot of them blasting off to safety.

Like as they leave Earth's atmosphere, the asteroid smashing in and just destroying everything. You know. and they go off into space, presumably to rescue. She holds her hand. He probably sexually assaults her. That's normally what happens when those sorts of things And we

get a little,

Pete: at least a year back, isn't it? Cause it was a year there. So. Yeah, what else you gonna do? the

Reegs: A little, the best bit of the movie, the second best bit after the title reveal was the end credits where you just get a little montage of

Sidey: Oh, the Ice Age

and all that shit, yeah. And

Pete: little montage of time like that, yeah. Well, I'm glad we got through that quickly. I mean, this was a fucking turkey.

Like, let's not, there's no two ways about it. I felt completely ripped off on the plane. What is it? An hour and a half? Whatever it is, it's too long, but... I felt after I'd watched that on the plane, I, I'm never gonna get that time back. I'd sooner have just stared at the seat in front of me for, for the same amount of time than, than watch this.

But I thought it'd be fun to put it up for, on a poll to see, like, if, if you guys would vote for it, and you did. So you had

Reegs: I wanted to see it!

Pete: suffer the same pain that I, I suffered.

Dan: It was... just... really... Shit Lee done. You know, it was, it

Reegs: Well it wasn't quite either was it? It wasn't quite the sort of survival drama that it sometimes

Dan: it was nothing. It,

Reegs: and

it wasn't quite the schlocky B movie that the premise wanted it

to

Dan: didn't succeed on any level.

Reegs: No,

Dan: it really didn't. And Adam

Reegs: I did still quite enjoy it, but I did not, but it's really not

Dan: I mean, it's an action kind of movie, but it was,

Cris: but that's the thing. That's why I kind of, I watched it and I thought if anyone would ask me, did you watch it?

Yes. Well, what was it? Is it science fiction? but it's not really. Is it horror? Not really. Is it action? Not really. Is it a drama?

Pete: No.

Cris: really. Is it, I, so, I can't really put it into words. And also, he grunts a lot. It's a lot of grunting. Just like, I don't know, and he just kind of tries to speak to this girl.

She clearly doesn't understand him.

Dan: a lot so... There's

literally

Sidey: There's, there's literally an episode of Star Trek Next Gen that is Picard and an alien guy traveling around and they don't, they can't communicate in the same language so they have to, like, done much better than this.

And, you know, I was just watching a game. Garbage. It's

Reegs: barely any joy to be had from a ca

an actor, actor of the caliber. the

Pete: well, I mean, it doesn't do anything to do with like the, the story and the whole purpose and the reason why, like, they just like skirt over that so quickly. So you don't feel anything

Dan: that's right.

You don't.

Sidey: I, I always look at the metrics. It's the first thing that I do when I'm putting my notes together. And they were fairly garbage, but normally everything, even the worst things that we see get like, 7080 on Google. I think that's like positive comments on somewhere and Google kind of amalgamates that.

This had fifty four which is the lowest I've ever seen. But I did while I was looking at the metrics, I did, it had some reviews that people have put up. This one caught my eye. Sixty five is a captivating sports drama that takes audiences on a thrilling journey filled with intense emotions.

Personal struggles and the pursuit of redemption directed by a talented team this movie manages to strike a perfect balance between sports action, character development and a compelling storyline. So I think they're talking about a different film.

Reegs: Could be,

Dan: Directed by a different film.

Sidey: is a cricket movie called

Pete: more

Reegs: could be that.

Dan: There was a

Pete: said.

Sidey: one

Dan: cricket movie called

Sidey: The Indians, Yeah,

Pete: right? Well, got the location wrong with the asteroid

Sidey: the location wrong of the asteroid as well. So I did learn something, at least. The location of where the asteroid lands

Dan: location of where the this film was

Sidey: inaccurate.

Reegs: up in this

Sidey: Yes the asteroid that caused the Cretaceous extinction was thought to have landed in the Yucatan Peninsula due to the large crater that was found on the sea floor in the 1970s.

Cris: Okay,

Pete: and this was clearly not the Yucatan

Sidey: they completely fucked that. Yeah. yeah,

Dan: Clearly, Peter. This, this was garbage all around, including their history, geography and everything else. From your

Pete: Yeah,

I know, more for you. You didn't vote for it, Riggs, I

Reegs: I did.

Pete: noticed. Oh, you must have retracted your vote then, because I checked today, because I wanted to know who the culprits were.

Reegs: no, no,

no, I lay my hat. Yeah. No, no. I voted for this.

Pete: Okay, I

Sidey: unanimous. I voted for it.

Pete: I didn't. I should have watched the whale.

Sidey: Boring. Strong recommend? Yeah,

Cris: Yes, yeah.

Sidey: more Jurassic Park content, but we're animated now. We're going for Jurassic Park, colon, Camp Cretaceous. That's right. And this runs concurrently with Jurassic

World. Yeah.

Because it's got the sphere things, and it's the camp. Yeah.

Because we On Isla Nubar.

Because we jumped in at three at series three episode five. But I think your kids are big fans of the whole

thing. Yeah.

Reegs: Seen all of it. I think this was just recommended as particularly strong.

Sidey: Yeah. So, yeah, this is some kids that are at dinosaur camp whilst it's all gone to shit.

Reegs: Yeah, they get maroon. Six of them get marooned on Isla Nuba. And this is the first official TV series in the Jurassic Park franchise, and it was produced by Amblin.

Sidey: Yes, it did have the full Spielberg seal of approval

Reegs: and they get marooned on a camp on is UBA and stranded and it's got what I would say my little one absolutely is well into this.

Sidey: it littlest or eldest.

Reegs: Littlest.

Sidey: Alright. Okay, cool.

Reegs: And 'cause she's going through a huge dinosaur phase at the moment. Again, and so.

It's got a little bit that vibe of Dungeons and Dragons, like trying to get home,

Sidey: Yeah

Reegs: Because that's, every season has that arc of how they're trying to get off these kids who are stranded on Isla Nubar, they're going to get off and eventually, spoiler alert, I think at the end of season five, they do in fact get savaged

Dan: of season 5,

Reegs: Yeah, no, they do get off the island, I think. So it's got that kind of, that's the setup of the, the premise of the show is each week the season builds to some kind of way that they're trying to get off the island.

Pete: I did wonder why like a load of kids were just like left in...

Reegs: I can't remember. I

haven't

Pete: mercy of a load of

Reegs: They were there for some virtual, what I can gather them's really good and the annoying kid is also the. Sons of one of the investors there as well, so there's all a reason for them to to be there They're stuck with very little chance of escape and it's a constant battle for survival and most of their friends have been savaged by

Sidey: I thought it looked good, apart from when they had to move. The animation of the people looked really shit when they were having to rush around, I thought. The rest of it was good.

Reegs: Yeah, what would you describe this style?

Sidey: what would you this one, it starts off it looks like it's going to

Reegs: point of

Sidey: well, it's going to be a predator.

It's

the, the, the, the, like a heat cam thing of a dinosaur and someone looking at it. And I thought, oh, that's interesting.

Reegs: and it brutally kills a Galimimus, I want to say that is. Anyway Jenny Ortega's in this as well.

Sidey: Yeah, Wednesday yeah,

Reegs: Anim. Yeah, there's a whole, this episode was rec, there's a whole, we're right in the middle of a storyline where Darius, the main character, his, it's quite sad actually, his father had, They, they loved the work of Dr.

Alan Grant from the original one, but his father died before they could fulfill their dream of going to Isla Nubar. So this is that kid's backstory in the thing. And so he's gone there on this mission and it's gone tragically wrong, so he's constantly talking to his father throughout this thing. In the middle of a big story, they're trying to get back to a boat.

What she, what my youngest really liked about this was Scorpius Rex. It's the introduction of the big villain for this season. And so yeah, basically all that she's telling me, she's going to be a Horror movie fan because all the stuff she likes is all the jump scares all the stuff coming out all the dark and all The lightning crashing which makes up the bulk of the end of this where the dinosaur mayhem Starts, did you watch it?

Yeah, do you think it was alright?

Sidey: was good. I quite enjoyed this. Yeah.

Yeah,

I thought this was the strongest Jurassic Park content of all the Jurassic Park

Pete: Yeah.

of all the stuff we've certainly consumed

Dan: for even Jurassic Park.

Sidey: Yeah,

say. Well,

Pete: I would say,

what I would say, so I've got the feeling I can answer, so your youngest is how old?

Reegs: It's gonna be seven.

Pete: Going to be seven, so I put my very soon to be two year old in front of this and all of the dinosaur stuff he was totally like captivated by he even went and got his dinosaur and sat down and watched it holding a dinosaur what i got a bit of a vibe for was that this like you know the characters way more character development and and you know invoking sort of empathy and so on than this than 65 that like

Sidey: Yeah.

Pete: And then it became like interspersed between like the dinosaur action with the conversations and obviously I think that, you know, these kids are all kind of like teens of age,

Sidey: It's very diverse as well, isn't it?

You what?

It's very

Reegs: Yeah.

one of them is supposed to be 13 I

Pete: Yeah, so, and then when the dialogue bits came in, like,

he's tiny, so like, lost his interest.

Sidey: dinosaur. He's a

Pete: It was dinosaurs, yeah, but, but it, all the dinosaur stuff was like, he was like properly loving it, like really excited by

Reegs: Yeah, and there is a fairly constant flow of decent dino action, isn't

Pete: There is, but I, I, I kind of like, because it was on and he was sort of like into it, then he was like, got a bit bored when they were talking and then he was into it again, so I left it running and then the next episode came

Sidey: quite long episodes for a two year

Pete: Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. And it was, and it was, the next one was a little bit more kind of like dialogue and interaction heavy without, with less dinosaur content.

And then he just sort of like scuttled off and did something else to do with dinosaurs. But, but really considering it's, it's definitely not. Pitched at someone his age. He was he was well into it because you know visually and and and every you know It is it is really good well made and and I can imagine that if you've invested into I mean, this is series Series three right if you've already invested into the first couple like it would be engrossing for people because there's storylines and you know little through like, you know, through storylines that are running alongside all of the, the cool stuff, which is the

Reegs: It's a few romances, Peter. Yeah,

Pete: I got those vibes from the next episode, actually. There wasn't too much

Reegs: of

Pete: it in this one. Yeah.

Sidey: Wow.

Reegs: And a lot

of that's okay.

Idiots complaining on Websites about that sort

Pete: in, in this day and age.

Sidey: common sense. Media's a good, fun place for that sort of content.

Wankers. Alright. Well I, I liked it. I thought it was good.

Reegs: Yeah, it is good.

Strong recommend.

Pete: Did you watch it, Chris?

Cris: No, I just, I've watched the 65 and the Jurassic

Pete: you'd

Dan: off TV for

Cris: No, I watched both today because I worked over the weekend and I just didn't have time.

Pete: Fair

Reegs: a great day of movie watching. You've had

Pete: Yeah,

Cris: Yeah, I know, I know.

Pete: But I think, yeah, it was this was a strong recommend for

Sidey: a legit, a legitimate strong recommend for once.

Cris: Yes. Agreed.

Pete: Cool, watch

Dan: it. Yeah. Solid.

Pete: Just before you start with the outro side what I did do cause I I was away in Florida and this is why I watched that horrible 65 on the flight and everything. I went to Universal Studios and obviously

Sidey: have,

Pete: Jurassic Park themed rides and everything like that.

If anyone gets the opportunity to go there and go on the Velocicoaster, it is the most savagely, brutally, fast, ridiculous, like, absolute fucking adrenaline pumping ride you will ever go on in your life. It's, it's a, you know, like, you know all the stuff you get, all the twists and the drops

Sidey: and the like that.

Do you mind if I don't?

Pete: The acceleration is ridiculous, and you're only strapped in at the waist. It's not one of

Sidey: those that,

Pete: that that comes down with the clamps you in kind of thing. You, you're just in at the waist,

Reegs: held by

Pete: and you think that you are gonna get flung about 400 meters across the park on every turn or whatever.

Fucking

Sidey: That's in Florida.

Pete: That's in Florida,

Sidey: So I'm going to the LA one. I hope, hope beyond hope that

Pete: may be the same there, I don't know.

Sidey: that is there, because I do like

a

Pete: is, yeah, yeah. There's, there's a lot of really cool rides there, but the Velocicoaster, which is very

Sidey: You did Harry Potter World?

Pete: Harry Potter World

Sidey: Strong recommend for that.

Pete: Oh, absolutely. I had a massive, I completely forgot that I was in a theme park and thought I was actually in like, Diagon Alley, in Gringotts,

Reegs: Did you bring us anything back?

Pete: No, I brought loads of stuff. I brought Bertie Bott's Heavy Flavoured Beans. I found out that one of my sons actually really likes the bogey flavoured ones. But doesn't like the sausage flavoured ones. But, you know, I

Cris: He's got too many kids.

Pete: Yeah. I got a boar, chocolate frogs, I had a butterbeer and an ice cream, which was incredible.

You go on the Hogwarts Express. I fucking absolutely loved it.

Sidey: He sent me a voicemail. And the voicemail was like, I'm totally nerding out.

Pete: It was incredible like every 10 minutes or so There's a dragon on top of Gringotts that just like like, you know, big thing of fire comes out of

Sidey: Well in a month's time I'll be there. I'll be the LA equivalent so hopefully it sounds

good.

Pete: strong recommend for Universal Studios both Florida and

Sidey: yeah. Maybe we should do a Harry Potter themed episode.

Pete: We should absolutely

Reegs: done it. We've done

Pete: no,

Sidey: did, one film. we did

Pete: one film. But, yeah, let's do a whole episode.

I'm, I'm in.

Sidey: I don't know but speaking of which I don't know what we're doing next week, who's round or who's noms but we'll sort it all

out.

Reegs: it must be me 'cause I don't think I've done 'em for ages.

Pete: Oh, you can do the Harry Potter thing.

Dan: Have you got them ready? It's you then. No,

Sidey: I've got some ready for my next turn. So look forward to them. But for now, all it remains is to say society signing out

Reegs: Reads out.

Pete: Goodbye.

Cris: Ta ta

Dan: Dan's gone.
