This is a great episode. Very funny and very informative. Both sides made some good points and I have a lot to think about. Lots of love, robotam

#meeeow You’re a great friend Dalton. Thanks for the cab sav.

Did you mean "Computer Read Bing Crosby?"

Computer read description.

Ok, I'll describe it. The photo is of a book. "Like, from school and libraries?" I hear you ask. No no no, it's not like any book you've seen before. It's a book that is from this episode! It's blue

Thanos is so chill now that he's retired, Hope that weird boy unable to stop watching mummy and Poppa Than get their groove on doesn't find dad's box of old space stuff, unless there's cameras on when he does because Avengers 6 just wrote itself all they have to do is follow lil' Thanny Jr. as he puts on glove and uses it to perv out across the universe

Finally a Fortnite Masterclass. I hope they cover what to do if your son's friends beat you up every time you ask them if you can have a turn on Fortnite. I already tried to Google Bing but it just says "Did you mean Bing Crosby?" I'm not sure what that means but shouting "BiNG CROSBY" at the pack of feral 9 year olds is only making them punch harder and more often.

thing about me is, I like podcast

So, I've been listening to a bunch of old episodes and got up to Sharknado. At the end, Jason comes up with the movie Dinocano where dinosaurs have been around forever living underground and escape through a volcano opening. This is extremely close to The Meg where a shark that co-existed with dinosaurs is kept deep underwater and escapes through a heated vent. I don't want to say Jason is the reason The Meg made it out of development hell, but I can't prove he wasn't the reason either.

Do you think they have the girls come out as Hot Sundae in the middle of the show or is that more of an encore type thing?

please describe picture for those of us that haven't figured out how to click links on the new forum yet

Sean doesn't know what "tfw" means...

And you know what's on those dolphin dicks out? Genital warts.

It's so funny that you guys are talking about dolphin rape. They always have their dicks out. (A friend of mine once showed us a "cute" picture of her at a dolphin encounter and my coworker and I were like, "... there's it's dick right there.") I was actually thinking the other day it's a shame Hollywood always does shark movies and then people are afraid of them because they should be afraid of dolphins. We should write a movie where some evil company puts, like, Viagra juice in the water and the dolphins just rape swimmers. I'd rather a shark bite my leg off. It's usually an accident. And even if it did want to eat my leg, at least the leg is going to good use.

So there's this really great interview with Jason Statham on the making of The Meg. Apparently he was pretty disappointed in how little gore there is. The original script had a lot more gory death scenes, but the studio cut it all out to satisfy the PG-13 movie. He says the first sub rescue also was a late addition to the script. He was pretty tactfully saying he thought he was making a very different movie than what got released. As a bonus he also has some stuff about the Fast films that HDTGM fans should enjoy. It's a good read. In particular: [COLLIDER] Yes. I think they were aiming at a release date. I want to jump back in time. Often when you sign on to a movie it’s going to be one way. Then you end up being on set and the movie turns into something else. From when you signed on to what people are seeing on screen, how much changed along the way? STATHAM: A lot. [COLLIDER] Yeah I kind of figure. STATHAM: A lot. Scripts totally different. There was so many different … sometimes you just go, “How did it happen? How did it go from this to this to this to that?” You just can’t keep a track on it. I guess if you have the control to keep it a certain way you would, but you don’t. They have a movie to make. They have so many people deciding on what action stays and what scenes stay. How the characters … In the end they want to put something at the beginning. The whole thing at the beginning where I do a rescue on a sub? That was not in the script that I read. That was all brand new stuff, good or bad. I’m just letting you know. [COLLIDER] I’ll defend that scene by saying it sets up your relationship. It’s a huge plot point in this version of the movie. STATHAM: Yeah, but there was other stuff at the beginning that was … I’m, you know. I’m just saying it was radically different. I guess in some ways your imagination and your own perception of what it’s going to be is its worst enemy. Just because you should always try and not narrow that down and imagine what you want it to be and just go for the ride. John’s interpretation of this is a fun end of summer [movie]. It’s full of humor. It’s a little bit more directed to a different taste of what my own is in terms of I like more gory adult stuff. I’m a lot older but I can’t speak for what this film could possibly speak to a younger audience. I might have made a film that not many people wanted to see. I’m not a filmmaker. I’m sort of an actor that’s going to portray a role. I go there but I’ve learned not to get too attached with your own idea of what something could be.

(ETA: For real though, I’d totally go see Zack Attack live)

Some podcast audiences are a little more sophisticated than others. While some listen and say "That's a shirt!" the smarter ones listen and say "Mmm, yes. That's a book." https://imgur.com/a/MzCYV7d (also, I still haven't figured out how to post pictures so I stopped trying)

Yay, I just started with Season 1 Ep 1. Is that Chuffed Kevin doing a silly voice in the intro?

Even though the spider sequence is missing, a handful of pictures exist (on mobile so, sorry, not going to look for them). These pictures and a description of the scene were used by Peter Jackson to make a recreation of the scene when he remade King Kong. Here is his version of what he believed the scene might have been:
