A Minecraft Movie!

[00:00:05] Speaker A: Hello and welcome to the Pugsley Crew Reviews podcast where we talk about all manner of films, be they good, bad or anything in between. We'll watch them and tell you what we think. Like the last film I thought was shite, but Kerr thought was all right. Difference of opinion and all. And funnily enough, Kur is with us again. How are you doing, Kur, dude? [00:00:29] Speaker B: I'm all right. How you doing? [00:00:31] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm doing good. I'm doing good. Been playing Mario Kart World, trying to get three star. Well, actually, no, I haven't been trying to get three stars. I've been trying to unlock all the skins. It's taking forever because some of them you got to have the Magikoopa thing happen and you got to be hit by it and this. So random. [00:00:54] Speaker B: But isn't it glorious to see a game where you're unlocking skins and stuff just by playing it is. [00:01:01] Speaker A: It is. It is better than paying money for the skins. [00:01:05] Speaker B: I mean, people complain about the pound 75 for the game, but at least it's 75 pound for the game. It's not 40 quid for the game. And would you like Mario in a little hat? That'll be 5.99, please. [00:01:18] Speaker A: Exactly. Fortnite is terrible for race. Like, like I enjoy Fortnite, don't get me wrong. Right. I think it's enjoyable. [00:01:27] Speaker C: But. [00:01:30] Speaker A: There are some skins you can get that are like 3800V bucks, which when you look at it is about 20 quid. [00:01:39] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:01:39] Speaker A: For a skin. [00:01:42] Speaker B: But the prices don't seem to really have that much basis. You can have a really cool looking skin, 800 cred and then you can have a skin that's meh. That's like two and a half thousand. Yeah, you do think with some of them. Where'd you come up with a number for each one from? [00:01:58] Speaker A: Yeah, there was a pack on any of the day, like, oh, that's really cool. But I wouldn't get her because, you know, extra money. I think it was like 3,000 odd V bucks. And it's expensive but it's down. It's because if you buy that bundle you're saving like it's down from 10,000 odd V bucks because you get Finn, Jake, Princess, Bubblegum, Marceline, Lumpy Space Princess as a keyboard, but you can also use as a pickaxe and back Bling. [00:02:29] Speaker B: Oh cool. [00:02:29] Speaker A: And a few other things as well. And I really like Adventure Time. I thought it was ace and I'm a 40 year old guy, so. Yeah. So Many shits are given you. Anyway, we should move on with the film discussion. The film we discuss in is a Minecraft movie, which I didn't realize until looking it up that it was called a Minecraft movie. I thought it was just called Minecraft. [00:02:59] Speaker B: Same here. [00:02:59] Speaker A: Yeah, but it's a Minecraft movie, which is, you know, maybe they'll do something else called a spin off Minecraft movie. Yeah, probably, because they probably will do more because I'm pretty sure Steve at the end of the spoilers, Steve at the end of the film meets with, I think it's like Alex or something, which I think is one of the other playable characters in Minecraft. [00:03:27] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:03:29] Speaker A: Something like that. Anyway, so with Minecraft, you have a child who wants to mine. For some reason, he really, really wants to mine, but he's not allowed because he's a child. So a scary old man scares him away. Then you see Steve wearing the exact same clothes. It makes a point of, see, I'm Steve, look, I'm wearing the same clothes. He is wearing the same clothes, but he's older man. And then he wants. He's working and he's not happy. And then he remembers that he likes to mine. So he goes back to the mining place, gets past the old man and starts mining and finds a magical orb or cube, which he uses. He puts the cube and this other bit together and it opens a portal to the mine, to the overworld in Minecraft. And this is where the journey begins. Funnily enough, it's actually like the first fucking ten minutes of the films is just exposition. About like, go into the Overworld, go into the Nether. I think it's called the Nether. Yeah, go into the Nether. And then Geren, his pet dog, which he tamed in Minecraft, to dog's name Dennis. That's the one. The is Colin. So you get Dennis to run back to the normal world with the orb so that some evil pig lady can't have it and become all powerful. And that is basically what happens. Yeah, in the first 10 minutes, I. I'm still surprised they cast Jack Black as Steve. [00:05:40] Speaker B: Originally it was supposed to be Matt Berry. Who's the guy from the IT crowd. He's the guy from the IT crowd with a beard. [00:05:53] Speaker A: Oh, biggest chap. [00:05:54] Speaker B: Scruffy looking. Yeah. But for some reason he couldn't do it. Although sure, he goes on to voice a character in the film. [00:06:04] Speaker A: I wouldn't have a clue. [00:06:07] Speaker B: But yeah. So Jack Black was gonna be a cameo, but ended up being the main star. Of the film. [00:06:13] Speaker A: I didn't know that. That's interesting because I think Jack Black's. [00:06:18] Speaker B: The main star of 75% of all cinema films at the moment. Or it feels that way. [00:06:24] Speaker A: He's very into like video game films at the minute, from the seams of age in Mario Minecraft. Other ones I can't be bothered to name. But. Yeah, I can't think of. I can only think of those two films recently, but there's probably more. But also he's. He's quite into his video gamey stuff because he was even in like Brutal Legend. He was a character in there. [00:06:56] Speaker B: Yeah. That's a good game. [00:06:59] Speaker A: Brutal Legend is a weird one. I really liked it to start with, but when it went to the RTS kind of like mod, I was like back to the other mod. It was more fun. [00:07:10] Speaker B: It tried to be a bit of everything, didn't it? [00:07:13] Speaker A: Yeah, bit. Bit off more than it could chew, if you ask me. The RTS stuff wasn't. Wasn't my. My thing, like, fortunately. So anyway, with the orb going back to Earth, obviously Steve was stuck in the Minecraft realm. Two children at least they both look like children, but I think the older sister's probably a young adult to me. Looks about 12. Both of them moved to this town that I can't remember the name of because that's where the mother who's dead wanted them to live. [00:07:59] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:07:59] Speaker A: So they went there and then the one, the young child, the boy, he's really creative. So that's probably why you know Minecraft and creating stuff. But you've got Jason Momoa. He's like the garbage man. That's his name. He's not actually a garbage man. His name is like Garrett Garbage man something. [00:08:31] Speaker B: I can't remember the last name. [00:08:34] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:08:34] Speaker A: And he's got his own, like, store with video games and stuff like that in it and he ends up buying a storage locker of stuff and in there is a. Is the orb. But obviously in, in the film he buys it not for the orb, he buys it for an Atari something or other because it's really expensive and really cool. And then it turns out it was just the box and there was nothing in the box, which he fucking freaked out about. [00:09:13] Speaker B: That was a cool flip out. [00:09:15] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:09:19] Speaker A: So basically they end up going into the mine. For some reason I believe him. Like he ends up going to the mine with the child because the. Him and the child meet up and have a conversation and then the one child gets in trouble for blowing something up in school and Instead of phone and his sister, he phones the garbage man, pick him up from school and pretend to be his uncle. So they did that. Then they went to the mines. For some reason, I can't remember why. And then I can't. [00:10:02] Speaker B: I don't. I don't think plot. The plot's not massive in this film, is it? Things just happen. [00:10:08] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:10:09] Speaker B: It's not the greatest piece of storytelling ever. [00:10:11] Speaker A: No, it's definitely not. It's not. This is very simple, but I think that kind of is Minecraft. Not. No offense to those. [00:10:23] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, that's true. [00:10:23] Speaker A: I know Minecraft can be very complicated, but it is basics. It's very simple. You mine your craft. Yeah, mine. Yeah, craft. And obviously, you know, it does become more complex with adding red stone and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. [00:10:41] Speaker B: It is a film that is heavily built on fan service. It's. You like these things. You like the Redstone electronic crafting. We'll show it you. You like Creepers and then blowing up. We'll show it you. You like Chicken Jockey. We'll show it you. These are the greatest hits. These are all the things in Minecraft that kids go wild for. We'll show you them one after another with some paper thin plot taking you from piece of fan service to piece of fan service. Really? [00:11:14] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:11:14] Speaker A: That is basically the entire film. You're right. I enjoyed it more than Postal, I'll say that. [00:11:22] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. It's more watchable than Postal. They do both have a feeling though, that they just meander from thing to thing. [00:11:33] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:11:34] Speaker B: Neither of them feel like proper, you know, long written scripts. They just feel like notes that made it to film. [00:11:46] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:11:46] Speaker A: It kind of feels like there's not much leading the situations that they get into. It's just quite basic in that respect. It's more about how a scene plays out more than how a scene plays out. Then the structure carries. It's just like very simplistic in the style of scene. Funny bits, a little bit of travel. Funny bits, little bit of travel. Chicken jockey, little bit of travel, big fight at the end. [00:12:22] Speaker B: Do you know what film came into my mind while watching this? And it was for a similarness in them, but they're not that similar. But just like some key facts. Ghostbusters, Afterlife. Have you seen that? [00:12:35] Speaker A: That's the. [00:12:37] Speaker B: The first new one. [00:12:39] Speaker A: The first. Yeah, I've seen that. I haven't seen Frozen Empire, but I've seen Afterlife. [00:12:43] Speaker B: Well, that was like geeky girl who's incredibly smart but can't fit in in normal life. Autistic coded, finds out she's related to Ghostbuster, deals with the technology, deals with the ghost, goes on an adventure through the Ghostbusters world. And this geeky lad, smart with building things, doesn't fit in in real life, goes on adventure, finding out he's got these building skills, you know what I mean? They just to a degree mirrored each other to me. Yeah, the one made me think of the other. [00:13:17] Speaker A: Yeah, I. I think that's the one. One of the things with this, there's not really a lot to it, so it's not difficult to make a comparison with something that's similar, which most of us have. Like the character there is. But I think Jack Black and Jason Momoa are probably the two best characters in this. [00:13:46] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, I find it funny because some people were, like, worried that Jason Momoa couldn't do comedy that, like, he's Aquaman and he's. But to me, Jason Momoa is the big, strong, tough guy from Stargate Atlantis. And in that sci fi show, there's a lot of instances where despite him being the tough guy, him not understanding something or being a bit dumb is like the part of the punchline of a joke. [00:14:17] Speaker A: Right. [00:14:17] Speaker B: So I. I was like, n. He's done this in Atlantis. He'll be fine. He'll play off Jack Black well. And I do think they play off each other well. [00:14:26] Speaker A: Yeah, they do. Great. [00:14:28] Speaker B: To be honest, I do know. [00:14:29] Speaker A: I think the film could have just been Jack Black and Jason Momoa going on an adventure. You didn't need the kids and the other person. [00:14:37] Speaker B: Do you know who I do think needs calling out for being awesome in this film? Jennifer Coolidge. The woman that's principal. [00:14:45] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:14:46] Speaker B: She's Stifler's mum from American Pie Forever. Oh, she was great. [00:14:51] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:14:53] Speaker B: With that villager. Yeah, he's listening to me like you. [00:15:00] Speaker A: And I liked at the end that. It's good. It goes to her speaking villager and she's like just d. Making noises like that to the village. [00:15:10] Speaker B: And he's all sophisticated. He's like, yes, this is my Mrs. Yeah. But some of the jokes there were clearly put in for going above the kids heads for the adults. Yeah, her stuff in particular. [00:15:27] Speaker A: I liked it when she hit him with the car. Oh, not again. Like, how many people she hit with a car? I. I did think this was good. I. I've heard a lot of people say that it's really good, and I've heard some people say it's really bad. But me, I just think it's pretty good. Definitely above an average film for me, because I think some of the people in there were really funny. But I think this is a kind of film that would suit children more because it is a family film, but because children are into Minecraft, would enjoy this more than me, who's not into Minecraft because they get more of the references and things. [00:16:19] Speaker B: It kind of feels like it was 10 years too late. [00:16:23] Speaker A: I don't know. Minecraft's still massive. [00:16:27] Speaker B: Well, I know, I know, but Minecraft used to rule the world and I think Minecraft's, like, stepped aside for Fortnite a bit now. [00:16:35] Speaker A: Yeah, possibly. [00:16:36] Speaker B: I think, you know, Minecraft should have been made a while ago and we possibly should have had Fortnite in the movie, but I'm surprised we haven't worked. [00:16:45] Speaker A: Too many licenses to work together for that one. [00:16:49] Speaker B: Well, if you wanted to make it really work, it'd have to be the modern who Framed Roger Rabbit, wouldn't it? You'd have in touch with all these studios and I mean, Roger Rabbit was crazy because it was Disney and Warner Bros. Like, the Bugs Bunny, Looney Tunes type people. [00:17:04] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:17:04] Speaker B: And they had to come up with agreements where neither one got more screen time than the other. Neither one ended up looking better than the other. So if you've got to talk to D.C. and you've got to talk to Marvel, then you're going to offer Batman and Spider man equal screen time and not make one look like more of a dick than the other. It would be a nightmare. It'd be worth it. I think there'd be serious money to make out of it. But you'd be paying the people in the back office drawing up all these deals as much as you'd be paying any actors. [00:17:33] Speaker A: Exactly. And the funny thing is, is who fin. Roger Rabbit was amazing. [00:17:40] Speaker B: Oh, it is. I think that film shows you that it's worth the effort. If you think something can't be done because of licensing, Roger Rabbit shows you. [00:17:50] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:17:51] Speaker B: If you've got a good enough idea, it is worth going the mile to do it. I did think Garbage man was a bit of a simultaneous P take of Is it Billy Mitchell, the guy with the Donkey Kong record, and at the same time, Brett the Hitman heart. All right, the glasses and the pink jacket was Brett the Hitman Heart. But they're, like, going on about how good you are at games. And I was like, they're trying to, like, parody people like Billy Mitchell who've, like, lived their whole life basis being good at one game back in the mid-80s or something. [00:18:30] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:18:32] Speaker A: Donkey Kong. I think he had a documentary, the King of Kong. [00:18:39] Speaker B: Yeah. And I know that he got. Well at one stage it wasn't apparently proving he cheated. But then at another stage he sued for being called a cheat and won. So now everyone has to say the alleged cheat if you don't want to get sued. Or I know that it went backwards and forwards and there's a lot of. So I'm not going to call him a cheater because I don't want to get sued. But the alleged cheater. [00:19:07] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm. I'm sure it was supposed to be that it was you. Even if you did everything perfectly, you couldn't get the score that he got because it's impossible. Something like that. But who knows? I'm not a Donkey Kong fishel. I could barely get past like two or three screens. [00:19:26] Speaker B: Yeah. It's a surprisingly hard game. Is it? [00:19:28] Speaker A: It is, yeah. Donkey Kong Bastard throwing barrels at me. Which is a really cool track actually on Mario Kart World. Spoilers. [00:19:38] Speaker B: Oh, it is in it. Yeah. It's an impressive track. Yeah. [00:19:44] Speaker A: Definitely with this it's like. It's hard to really talk about it because I'm trying to think of all the things happened in the film and it's basically they are gonna meet up with. They go to the A overworld. Then Jack Black shows up cuz he'd been captured and released to try and get the orb to give to the woman which he was going to do until she thought he was betraying her. And then she came and like attacked and then he's like, oh, she betrayed me. So he was going to give it to her. I think at least that's how. [00:20:20] Speaker B: Yeah, he wanted. He wanted to save Dennis, didn't he? And he thought that she'd got Dennis. But then it turned out Dennis had got away. And I think once he knew he'd been double crossed and he knew Dennis was safe, it was like, screw you. [00:20:32] Speaker A: Yeah, basically it's like there's a scrap in the town is where they're all having a fight. Jason Momoa has bucket trucks or something, as in n ch with buckets. And he has his ass kicked, which is funny. He knocks Jack Black out by accident. Does do that with his bucket as. [00:21:01] Speaker B: A potato Top gun or something. And yeah. [00:21:07] Speaker A: Because he brings in. Uses stuff from the real world. Like battery and stuff is different I guess, but I don't know. It's like most of the. The. The. The story beats and things are like centered around the male Characters like there's not much going on with the two women. [00:21:35] Speaker B: There's not that much point in being there other than the one being the little lad's sister and going, oh, I'm your sister, I love you sort of thing. [00:21:43] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:21:43] Speaker A: But it turns out her thing is accepting him for the way he is. And the other woman's thing is she has a pet in zoo. So she's good with animals and has a little wolf army for the final fight. [00:22:03] Speaker B: Problem when you get these films with like an ensemble cast though, isn't it? Is giving them all time to be a good character and time to shine and. [00:22:12] Speaker A: Yeah, like, I wouldn't say they were bad actors or anything like that. I just think that there was no real motivation there for them to be part of it. [00:22:19] Speaker B: No sense. [00:22:20] Speaker A: It seemed a bit they for the sake of being there. Which is a shame because they could have done something different with them because at one point they split up. So they could have done something really different with the one group to the other group. So then you have two interesting things going on. But they didn't. They just mainly stuck with the males and had the women in the end waiting in a house. That's about it. [00:22:45] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:22:48] Speaker A: But they do. They are the ones who find Dennis. So that's the. That was their thing. [00:22:54] Speaker B: Yeah. That's their big contribution. Oh, we'd be amiss if we didn't mention the LA the Chicken Song. Do you know that La the Chicken Song is something ridiculous like 34 seconds. It's now the record holder for the shortest UK hit ever. [00:23:17] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:23:17] Speaker B: Apparently Jack Black's biggest hit. [00:23:21] Speaker A: Wow. [00:23:23] Speaker B: You think that that man, you know, Tenacious D and stuff. And his biggest hit is now a 34 second song about LA the chicken. I don't know whether he'd be happy at the money he'd get from that or disappointed that like a silly movie songs eclipsed his like whole music career. [00:23:43] Speaker A: To be fair, Peaches probably done a lot as well. [00:23:46] Speaker B: Yeah, that did do well. [00:23:49] Speaker A: Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches. That one. [00:23:55] Speaker B: But it's funny thinking that how sort of child friendly Jack Black is nowadays when he's old music. Had the song about, you don't have to fuck her hard. [00:24:08] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:24:09] Speaker B: Doing cock push ups. How many drugs you could do? You know, it's proper rock and roll nutcasery. And now he's like the king of PG comedy. [00:24:25] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:24:31] Speaker A: How the mighty have fallen. I say that in Jess. But then again, he's always. He's been in a lot of Family films like School of rock was like 96 years about to say. [00:24:47] Speaker B: I think it started with School of Rock, didn't it? I think before School of Rock he was more the idiot sidekick, sort of funny character. [00:24:59] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:25:00] Speaker B: And then School of Rock, he did something heartfelt and from there on out he's sort of gone on to more main characters and more PG stuff. [00:25:10] Speaker A: Exactly. [00:25:12] Speaker B: If you can catch it. The Tenacious D TV series was awesomely stupid. [00:25:18] Speaker A: I have to check it out. Any favorite parts of this film? Any. Any lines that you'd like. You liked Quotable. [00:25:28] Speaker B: Oh, I'm trying to think of quotes from this film now. Oh. Cuz it's all so much of his exposition in it. [00:25:39] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:25:40] Speaker B: You. You can't really give, like, explaining stuff. I suppose I do like the. As a child, I yearned for the mines. It's just the way he says it. [00:25:58] Speaker A: Yeah, it's. It's a. I, I enjoyed the film, but there's just. It's like. There's not much to it, if that makes sense. I think it's. It's a. It's a film about fan service to Minecraft fans, which is fair enough. If you're gonna make a film based on something, but make it your own, at least have that there. But then I think you can go too far with it as well then. [00:26:31] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, you've got to say they were loyal to the game. I know in the auction part there's all big Minecraft YouTubers are hired as actors and one of them is like a special. I can't remember his name and I'm not going to look it up, but one of them is a specialist in the game using those red crystal things to power stuff. [00:26:53] Speaker A: All right. [00:26:53] Speaker B: And apparently they took him on as some form of advisor to make sure all the things they showed in the film using those powered things would actually work in the game. They didn't want to do anything that you couldn't replicate. [00:27:07] Speaker A: That's good. Trying to stay faithful to the source material. Nothing wrong with her. [00:27:14] Speaker B: No. I mean, you could do with somebody like that for like every movie game, couldn't you? [00:27:19] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:27:19] Speaker A: Like do someone like that for every film. [00:27:23] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:27:24] Speaker A: One thing I liked about the film as well is every time. I can't remember the. The villain's name, every time she stabbed one of the. Near the pigs, they turn into a pork chop. [00:27:34] Speaker B: Yeah. I think. Is it Margotia or Morgotia or something? Something like on those lines. [00:27:40] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:27:40] Speaker A: Margot, sure. I think stabs them and one of them's drawing A picture little. Little kid looking pig. It looks like she just stops it. It turns into a pork chop behind a big pile of pork chops. [00:27:57] Speaker B: Like, oh, that's lovely. But just tell me, how's that going to make me any gold stab? [00:28:04] Speaker A: All because she's a good. People weren't like, yeah, she's a good villain. [00:28:09] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:28:09] Speaker B: The puppeteers and the actress and that, they did great work with her. [00:28:14] Speaker A: One of my favorite scenes, actually, is when he. When Jack Black defeats her. I come here, I need to tell you something. [00:28:22] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:28:23] Speaker A: Tries to stab her. She tries to stab him and he hits the blade away. She's like, no, seriously, I need to tell you something. You know? He's like, really? You're gonna try and stab me again? And she's like, no, no, I won't. And then she tries again and he just hits the blade out of her hand again. And then the third time she just walks away. But she's like, look, I haven't even got a knife. You can see a hole in the knife. [00:28:49] Speaker B: I do like how they repeated that joke a couple of times to run it in. And I do like that the end result was not getting stabbed. [00:28:56] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:28:57] Speaker B: Because so many films that would have been where he got stabbed. And, you know, it's nice to see an expectation turned on its head. [00:29:08] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:29:12] Speaker A: But, yeah, overall, I would give this film probably a 6.5 to 7. Probably a 7. I'll give her a 7 out of 10 because I think it was enjoyable. [00:29:24] Speaker B: I've got to agree. I think it's a seven. I mean, I have periods where I won't go to the cinema for a long, long time. And then a couple of films will come out I want to see and it will seem like I'm living at the cinema. [00:29:38] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:29:39] Speaker B: And the day before this, I saw the new Lilo and Stitch. [00:29:42] Speaker A: Oh, right. I view that's not very good. [00:29:45] Speaker B: I really, really liked it. [00:29:47] Speaker A: All right, fair enough. To the degree they've changed. Changed a lot. That will make sense. [00:29:53] Speaker B: Yeah. I can. I can understand why some people are annoyed, but it depends whether the things annoy you or not. But I think as a film, if you find Stitch fun, you'll like it. But it was going off the back of seeing that one day and going to see this the next. I was a bit like, I don't really know if I fancy being in the cinema a second day in the row. [00:30:13] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:30:13] Speaker B: I'm kind of like, I've heard bad things about Minecraft. I don't want to be here. In a way, this is gonna spawn. [00:30:23] Speaker A: Around. [00:30:26] Speaker B: It is how things might build or break your expectations. [00:30:30] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:30:31] Speaker B: I think the fact that I went in with low expectations helped me to not be a dick about little problems in this film. Whereas I think some people that were going to this film primarily like, bigged it up, expecting everything in the world from it. [00:30:48] Speaker A: Yeah, I think you need to. I think with every film, whatever it's gonna be, set your expectations to. This will be okay at more best. Because at the end of the day, most films nowadays are not great, but, you know, do you get that most films in general will be okay at best because. Yeah, there's so many fucking films coming out all the time. [00:31:15] Speaker B: I think usually if it's made it to cinema, it's got to be of at least a sort of passable level. [00:31:21] Speaker A: I don't know. [00:31:22] Speaker B: Otherwise. I think a lot of them now, though, they'll show test audiences and they'll also like the executives, watch it. And a lot of the time if it's crap, it'll just end up on streaming. [00:31:37] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:31:40] Speaker A: That'S the thing. Like test audiences. Surprising how much some people will take on the feedback. Like Deep Lucy, for example. The ending was different to how it was originally. Because the test audience didn't like the original ending. [00:31:55] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:31:58] Speaker A: Because the. The woman in the film who was the one behind all the testing on the shark, she was supposed to survive, but they thought that, like, she was the villain of the film, so she deserved to die. So they changed this or died, which she was. She was the one who caused all of it. Everything that happened was because of that woman. [00:32:15] Speaker B: Yeah, Well, I think it's human nature to want to see people because it doesn't happen in real life. People do horrible things and get away with it and stuff. So human nature is to want to see sort of retribution, isn't it? [00:32:27] Speaker A: Exactly. Yeah. [00:32:29] Speaker B: People do naturally want to see her get turned limb from limb for causing it at all. [00:32:34] Speaker A: Exactly. [00:32:35] Speaker B: And sometimes you just got to give the people what they want. [00:32:37] Speaker A: Yeah, I agree. Before we wrap up, is there anything else you would like to add about Minecraft? [00:32:50] Speaker B: No, I think we've said it all. Just like most films, if you know the thing it's referencing, if you've played the game, you're gonna get more out of it. If you haven't played the game, you might just sit there and go, what the heck is all of this on about? But ultimately just go in with a middle sort of head, this should be okay, and you'll do well with it. I think. [00:33:16] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:33:17] Speaker A: It's not eyebrow or anything, but it's. It's a solid, fun little film, to be honest. [00:33:27] Speaker B: Exactly. Yeah. And not. Not every film has to be Oscar, winning, life changing, make you think stuff. It's okay just to eat popcorn and drink Pepsi and kill an hour or two. [00:33:40] Speaker A: Yeah, Pepsi. Better than cork. [00:33:43] Speaker B: Definitely. [00:33:45] Speaker A: Especially Pepsi Max. Yeah, I agree. Well, that'll be us. We're not sponsored by Pepsi, so don't worry about it. [00:33:56] Speaker B: But if you do want to send us some free bottles, you know, it could be arranged. [00:33:59] Speaker A: Yeah, right. Pepsi Max or Pepsi Cherry. Either will do. [00:34:04] Speaker B: Yeah, Cherry. [00:34:09] Speaker A: Love. Yes. Then bye. [00:34:10] Speaker B: Bye. Bye. [00:34:28] Speaker C: My name is Steve, and as a child I yearn for the mines.
