God Games and Geekery: Faith and Film Rebirth

The transcription captures a lively conversation between hosts announcing the revival of their "Faith and Film" series, blending movie analysis with faith-based themes. They introduce a structured format: a 15-minute live stream for viewer interaction, a 30-minute podcast recording, and a 15-minute concluding segment, all centered around pre-announced films. The hosts engage in drafting movie selections, prioritizing PG-13 ratings and family-friendly content, with each reserving a veto to maintain appropriateness. Initial picks include classics like *Jumanji* and *Hook*, alongside fantasy favorites such as *Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire* and *Stardust*, and sci-fi entries like *Rise of the Planet of the Apes*. Throughout, they stress community involvement, encouraging viewer participation during streams and adapting from past methods to enhance planning and inclusivity. The dialogue reflects enthusiasm for rebuilding engagement post-events like LifeFest, with a focus on meaningful discussions and shared cinematic experiences.

[MUSIC] What's up, everybody? Bad gamer popping back in. God, games and geekery, faith and film. Hey, look at that, that is our second. What, we got a high train going to? Oh my goodness. Layton, thank you so much. That's our street team right there, you guys. Layton, we see you. Thank you so much for doing the things that do the things I appreciate you. We are also guys, I haven't streamed faith and film in forever. Epic Fish Lady! Okay, Epic Fish Lady. I need you to whisper God, games and geekery because you won the Funko Pop at life fest. And like we were like, they didn't show back up or anything, you won the Funko Pop. So I don't know if you're local to life promotions or if you're in another state, hopefully not in another country because shipping is going to be terrible. But Epic Fish Lady, welcome on in. Yeah, we appreciate you. We are, this is one of our first backs for faith and film. If you have never been to a faith and film episode, but you were at life fest, it's kind of what Alex, I'm sorry, this side, Alex and I did on stage in the G3 layer. And we're coming up, we came up with an outline, Alex, do you want to explain the outline? Sure, so at least for faith and film, what we want to do is we want to do it live and have that interaction with the chat. So we're going to have about 15 minutes where we're streaming and interacting kind of talking about the movie that we watch. And we're going to announce it, you know, the week ahead or the month ahead, we got to still talk about the cadence of this, but we will put the movie out there and then everybody is welcome to watch it. We'll, at the time of the stream, we get together, have about 15 minutes, talk it over, kind of talk over any major themes that we saw or anything like that, then we'll record the podcast for about 30 minutes. And afterwards have about another 15 minutes of wrapping it up where it's again just us and the chat. I like it. I like it. I like it. And we're toying with the idea of doing that with, let's put it this way. We don't know everybody in our discord personally. So we kind of have to watch what we do there. So we're thinking about like folks that are trusted community members like Layton and Misty, Mrs. Z, Amanda, folks like that. We're thinking about the pre, the pre recording of the podcast. We do, we have you guys in a chat as well, like in an audio chat where we can hear each other. And then we, then Alex and I switch off and we go to a private chat. And then we, when we come back for the last 15 minutes, we come back to that one channel. And you guys can continue to have a discussion in that channel and the like. Yeah, I'm excited. I really look forward to that community building of this. And I mean, I'm completely odd every time at Quake or at LifeFest, just seeing so many people showing up for G3 and you know, having that passion there. We have so many people that show up for G3, but they don't come hang out here, which is a little weird. Like this is, this is where the core stuff happens. I miss Faith and Phil. Well, it's back, baby. And I found this overlay, I think it's fitting for Faith and Phil because once I get everything all set up, but let's say I have to go away for a second with the pause screen. It'd be right back, paused, so I like that. I thought that was really cool. But today, what's today about Alex? So today, you know, I'm, I'll get to that in a second, but I found a, I found some Bible verses that I think are fitting. All right. Talk about it. And so from John 11, verse 39, "Take away the stone," he said. And this next line reminds me of LifeFest. But Lord said Martha, the sister of the dead man, verse 39. But Lord said Martha, the sister of the dead man, "By this time there is a bad odor for he has been there four days." Yeah, LifeFest, there's a guy, yeah, it's so fitting that that should be the new tagline for FaithFest. LifeFest. I could. LifeFest, John 11, 39. Yo, what do y'all think about? Jump relatable, epic, rich ladies out here like, yeah, we smell, we smell you, we smell you, lamb, we smell you, uh, so, uh, jumping ahead a couple of verses to verse 43, when he said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, Lazarus come out, the dead man came out, his hands and feet, wrapped with strips of linen and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, "Take off the grave clothes and let him go." So, yes, isn't that like, uh, wouldn't, wouldn't Jesus be like, "Look, let's get us a new drip and let 'em cook, do a thing." Sounded like you were speaking English there. All right, chat, is that, is that accurate? Get 'em some new drip, let 'em cook, is that, is that accurate? I love it. I love it. So, um, Quake season is past. Life fest is past. We are rolling away the stone. And we're getting back to it. Yes. Yes. Um, so here's the thing. Uh, I'm gonna, I'm gonna have you take notes, um, because in true love fashion, I am not fully prepared. We, we came up with this today. We can, we were like, look, I miss everybody. We need, we need to do this. We need to do this more. And this will be, this is gonna be an audio podcast as well. This is gonna be audio podcasts as well. So, um, all the interaction with us in chat, all that. That's why you hear no background music. Like I usually will have background music, but we're, we're trying to get as clean audio as possible. Um, what are we doing today, Alex? We are going to do a, we're gonna pick movies that we want to do for this season. We're drafting. We're, we're drafting our movies. Like fantasy draft. Yeah, finally draft, fantasy draft. Um, and the, the, what I, what I think about, when I think about this, um, I don't have anything prepared, but I do have my list of movies that I have digitally in front of it. I don't have like my Disney plus or anything like this. These are all movies that I own. And we do try to keep it relatively family friendly. Right? So, uh, there, there's my library that I, I, I, we can't do. We just can't do. Um, but I think, I think we can be okay. I'm gonna take a gamble. Normally, we, we would keep it like rated G, right? I thought we had like PG 13, but like, um, being smart about the PG 13. Yeah. Cause there's a pretty wide range that, yeah, yeah, that qualifies for that rating. Yeah. Uh, so I think we'll still keep it PG 13. I thought we were keeping it G or PG, but I'm gonna, I'm gonna push it up to PG 13. Yes. We're pushing it to PG 13. Um, and at one point in time, we first started faith in film. We were doing, we had, uh, we would let you guys pick the movies. Uh, that kind of got a little pricey for me sometimes. So with the, um, hold on, let me just, uh, just in my digital library alone that I can find here on Microsoft and I have more. Um, I have, I don't know, it's a lot of pages worth of movies. So I think there's, um, we can, we can choose quite a bit. Um, now the thing is we also have chosen or we are, we are to choose seven movies each, but there's only 12 months in a year, Alex. Oh, is that how that worked out? Yeah. So only 12 months in a year. So what do we do with the extra two? Uh, we fit them in there somewhere. Nope. That's not what we do. So we each, we each get a veto. Yes, we each get a veto. And we cannot purposely put, like, I cannot purposely put Deadpool in there. And then Alex wouldn't, but he could not veto that I could not like try to sabotage the veto. That's, that's the agreement we have. We're picking movies. When was that stated? Yes, that's why I did it. No, you know, I put strategy into the ones I picked. I was like, all right, there's three that I could see them not wanting to do. And I, I should say they, I think they are all in the appropriate level. Right, right, right. I'm saying like, you couldn't do purposely something like, like that. Right. Yeah, free. You, you get the final vote. I'm like, um, uh, yeah, if it's out of bounds, there we go. Yeah, like we couldn't do predator. There's no way you had it in there, but that's fine. It's not, it's not in there. But now I want it to be. All right, you go first, because I'm gonna, I'm gonna try to find some. All right. So, uh, my first pick is it's you already know it. And I'm pretty sure we've already discussed it at one time. I can't find the notes anywhere. Um, you may or may not have the recording of it, but it seemed fitting of, um, you know, being trapped in, uh, we'll say in that like the game of life and the game of work and festival season. And now we're, um, we're coming back out. Oh, man, I'm trying to think of the line in the jungle. You will wait until you roll five and eight or five or eight. So, uh, we must have rolled up the five or eight, because let's do Jumanji. I agree with a Jumanji. I agree with the Jumanji. So, these are not any specific order, you guys. That one is first. Uh, I say for that one. Yeah. Everything else. Yeah. No specific order. Um, I, I am a fan. Uh, the original one. The original one. Yeah. Um, not Jumanji. Welcome to the jungle. Just Jumanji. Um, there are very few movies that I will go back and watch multiple times. I mean, very few movies like I will, I'll watch a movie and then maybe three, four years later, I'll watch it again. Like, but not like multiple times throughout the year. But there is one in particular that I hope you're stealing one of mine. That is a definite every year, multiple times a year that I love. As matter of fact, I watch a YouTube channel dedicated to a lot of the lore of this movie series. And I propose that we do Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Okay. You know, probably my least favorite of the book. Yeah. Well, I love the book. Like, you get to see so much of the wizarding world with that one. You do. Like, yeah, that's where it, it, um, it, it, it, it like opens up because you've got, and I'm skipping ahead, but you've got the quiddish world cup, right? So you see, not only do you see, uh, wizards from, uh, uh, Europe, but you actually see a couple of flags from the UK, uh, the, uh, the US. There's a couple in the books. They talk about a lot of some of the other, um, a lot of other, other wizarding schools. So you've only seen the first Harry Potter movie, epic fish lady, epic fish lady. Let me tell you a little story. And it goes a little something like this. Harry Potter audiobook series, Jim Dale, the end. Cause I, I, I, I, I am not the sit down and read guy, but I will listen to Jim Dale read the phone book. He is so good. He, and he will come up with a voice for every single name he sees in the phone book. I think in the series, in that whole book series, he's got like a hundred and change voices. Wow. Yeah. So Harry Potter number four, goblet or fire. What do you think? I dig it. I mean, I, I would love to do, I would love for this to be weekly. And even for us to do like series things like, you know, go over the nine Star Wars movies, then go over the eight Harry Potter movies. And then like all about the Lord of the Rings ones. And, but anyway, that, uh, we'll put a pin on that for another day. Yeah. Yeah. Put a pin in it. Yep. Um, I do have a question, though. Yes. Does, do the videos have to happen like, basically before the next pick? Or can it be at the end where you, you're like, uh, you know, that's my least favorite of them. Um, chat. What do you think? Do we hear it? And then Vito? And then we'll use it up. Or do we, um, or can we do it? Do we have to do it at the end? Like survivor style voting off the island. Yeah. Well, uh, well, uh, at the end, Lee says at the end. So I have to admit, I almost made a, a boo boo with my second pick. Like I had, um, a different title written down. Oh, really? And yeah, they, they sound familiar. Um, yeah, they sound close to each other. Okay. And for some reason, they just like link together in my mind. And, uh, I'm trying to stall a little bit to see if anybody else chimes in on if the Vito happens now or at the end. Well, right now, I think it's, uh, it's just going to be late and end up in face lady. Okay. So my audio, you guys could, if you're in the chat, you could have a say in a lot of what we do. So make sure you show up on the streams, especially when we just dropped them at the last minute. No, no, no, buddy. We, we have had surprise, like stream podcasts, things that like we don't even know it's going on until 15 minutes before it happens. Yeah. This is true. And, uh, and have had really good attendance to it. So, yeah, it's doable. All right. So, Vito's at the end, survivor style. All right. My second pick is, um, wait. Okay. Star dust. Star dust. I star dust. I had to double check the rating of it. I don't know that one. It is, it's amazing. Um, it is a very fantasy, um, movie. It has to do with like, um, what's it called? Like inheritance lines and there's magic and witches and, um, Robert De Niro is like a space pirate. It's amazing. And, like, frankly, I'm, I'm really surprised you haven't seen it yet. I mean, 2007. Oh, I know of it. Yes. I know of it. I've not seen it. Oh, maybe I have. Yeah. I know of this. I've seen this, um, I've seen the trailer before. Yeah. Okay. I don't think I've seen it though. When it first came out, like I have to admit it would, I never would have chosen to watch it. But some friends got me to and I like fell in love with it. Yeah. Well, and the thing is the, um, with what we're doing now, uh, the way we're doing it now is I know about the movies ahead of time. Uh, the way we were doing it was that movie was picked last minute and then I knew it and I had to watch it on that day. But now I can watch it the week before and actually get, and get through it. So it doesn't necessarily have to be at work. But even if it is, if I know what month we're putting it in, I can do 15 minutes a day of that movie in the office and make notes. Yeah. Yeah. It feels weird of like splitting a movie into chapters like that. That's actually how you do a lot of my movies right these days. Um, there we go. Um, all right. So start us. All right. Um, I've not seen it. Is it on a like a Netflix or a, uh, looks like it's on Paramount Plus right now. Okay. I'm probably going to have to rent it. I don't think we have Paramount Plus. Okay. Um, all right. Um, we're finding it cheap somewhere because, uh, yeah. Sometimes I buy codes. I buy the code store, but you can get them like for like three bucks or whatever. It's an old movie. Um, all right. So I have to choose the next one. Yes, sir. All of mine are going to be ones that I want to watch. There's going to be, there's going to be like no sneakiness going on with mine. But I do have to check. Um, I do have to check ratings because there's some that I'm like, do we try it anyway? Um, yeah, we can't do that one. There is one movie that I would absolutely love to do. It fits in perfect, but it also, um, it's R rated. Yeah, but they're on a mission from God. Ah, bro. Oh, you know, good. Well, I'd be all over that one. Uh, yes. I mean, we've, we've had talks of other things. So if you know me from other channels, keep an eye. Um, I kind of want to do, and I don't know. I have to double check. We have to double check. I know what the reading is, but, um, hold on. Let me, let me take a look here. Um, I am a big, big time sci-fi fan. I love sci-fi, right? Um, and hold on. All right. Look at that. I'm looking at that up. Um, okay. Um, there we go. Oh, this is a good, this is a good one. Let's go here. Um, they're telling, I'm trying to figure out why this was PG-13. Um, um, here we go. Um, I can't think that one works. Um, all right. So this one has a little bit of language, but I am, I, I love old school sci-fi. And sometimes they take old school sci-fi. Um, uh, Z, don't put any titles of our reading movies in here, please. I don't want any students to go look those up. Um, uh, that's PG. I just looked it up. It's PG graded. Okay. I don't know anything else about the movie. All right. Um, yeah. The one that he just, the one that he put in. Yes. Okay. Um, but sometimes they redo them. And to my surprise, it's even better. Um, and so I propose that we look out, we look at rise of the planet of the apes. Okay. I thought you're gonna, there's a different one you're gonna do. Which one do you think I'm gonna do? But okay. Do you? Oh, no. I haven't seen the new ones yet. I am here. This is the perfect like excuse to do it then. If, uh, like we were, we were both supposed to come into this with seven movies of peace. Yeah. How many have we had so far? Uh, we've had two of peace. Okay. And, um, I figured you, well, number one, I didn't realize the veto thing was voting off. I figured I better have an alternate then. Um, but anyway, I also figured you wouldn't be prepared. So I came in with like 14 ideas. I think I can have seven of yours. Yeah. Oh, that's funny. That's funny. If I didn't have that many, I think I would probably put Dune on there. Yeah, but hey, I'm just saying one of us has a room. Who has, all right. Rise of the planet of the age. Yes. Work it down. All right. All right. All right. You are a, you are a, you are a, you are, I am had that one on, I am had that one on, I am had that one on, I am had that one on. It, uh, and actually, you're not wrong about the Robin Williams thing. What were we watching yesterday? Oh, um, I was watching night at the museum with Meredith. Oh, yeah, and she was asking like, the guy playing Theodore Roosevelt. Was he in Hamilton? No. Wait, no, I mean, like, not, not the actor, but the, the president. Was he part of in, in Hamilton? I'm like, no, it was like 120 years later. She's adorable. And so it's Robin Williams. And then she's like, I know you were talking about him. Oh, that's the flubber guy. Yeah, that's a girl. There she goes. And, uh, so yeah, short story long, I need to expose Meredith to more, um, Robin Williams movies. Including Hook, which is my third pick. Um, okay. I can see that. Uh, I am double checking the one that I want to do next. Because, uh, why don't I say too much? All right, all right. Um, oh, that's a good one. Which one? Short-circuit. Oh, yeah, I don't think I can do that one. Dang it. I really want to. Yeah. Oh, let me crack this open. But what I've been doing is while you're talking, yeah, I look up the next one that I have. Oh, wait. Is that one okay? Yeah. That should be. I think it is. I don't have that one digitally. And it's only two. Oh, no, wait. That's renting. That's rent. I just, I just saw a movie that was like, I was at only $2.99. I need it. Um, okay. We've done those. We've done that one. Um, I'm thinking. Oh, we've done that one too, because that was in the DreamWork series. Um, have we done, because we, I know we've done a lot of comic book movies and I love comic book movies. Um, and there are quite a few of our favorite web-slinger movies. Um, and I know we've done a Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse. We, as a matter of fact, we did that at, at, at life fest. I, I've done that one at Quake. Not to the degree that we would do it here, but, you know, we still done it. Um, and something tells me we've done Spider-Man across the Spider-Verse as well. If I, I just, I just, it just, it just, it speaks to me that we've done both of them. But have we done Spider-Man No Way Home? I don't think so. Because that one stood out to me and, uh, I know that Spider-Man No Way Home is, is relatively, you know, there might be some language, but, you know, they, uh, they, they, they, they keep it pretty clean because there are a lot of teenagers in it. And Disney's, Disney and Fox are trying to keep it, you know, um, good. Yeah. Um, let's see here. Um, violence and language. Uh, PG 13 rating was created back in 1984 as a happy medium of D tweet PG and R, by the way. Just, uh, just so you know, that's why, uh, however, hold on, let's take a look here. Uh, that's why singing in the rain is, um, that's PG. Uh, well, there's, uh, there's one scene when Peter gets back to the house and made, uh, may think it's something that it's not, but yeah, I think, yeah, we can do No Way Home. Okay, hold on. Layton, your parents let you watch No Way Home? Because if late parents let him watch No Way Home, I think we're good. So which one was that? Was that one two or three? That's the third one with, uh, with Dr. Strange. Okay. Cool. Yeah. He's a good movie. So I'm assuming his parents let him watch it. He put that in there before you said that. Okay. Mom, but I was in the theater. By the way, if y'all, if y'all haven't met, uh, Layton, uh, late old potatoes mom's, uh, mom, mom is what we call, I always call her mom. Uh, but Lisa, she's freaking cool, bro. She is freaking cool. Dad is so chill. We love that family. His little brother is the, uh, is the excitable one and he's super cool too. All right. So yeah, No Way Home is what I got. Okay. Um, I'm kind of rearranging my list a little bit here. Um, another classic movie here. Never ending story. It's also like, you know, come on, one of the saddest teens of all time. Oh, I hate you so much for that right now. Oh, that's so good though. That's like, oh, that's a good one. So far, I'm going to have a hard time vetoing one of yours so far. I think we're going to have to like, double our picks so we can do every two weeks. Oh, I don't know if we can do every two weeks. I don't know. But we can make that decision, uh, after we get some cadence going on. All right. Uh, we do, we do a lot of, uh, a lot of video games here. Oh, shut up. The, uh, big, strong hands. Oh, I love video games and a lot of movies get turned into video games. But there are also some video games that get turned into movies. Some of them have amazing stories, like the games, uh, have amazing stories and some of the movies that get turned into so, but it doesn't always, uh, work out. Are you about to pull up like the original Super Mario Brothers? Is that what you're going to do? Um, so what I think that we need to think about is, uh, why, why they get turned into movies. Right? Um, but I haven't seen all of, uh, I haven't seen all of the video game movies that I want to see. Right? And I actually have one that I bought when it came out and still haven't seen it. So I propose that if you can be on a Robin Williams kick, I'm going to go on a Tom Holland kick and go uncharted. Okay. Um, I know nothing about it. I know jack squat. I know the game. That's all I know is I know the games. I've played all of the games like every single uncharted game I've played. I have never seen the movie. Huh. Oh, Mark Wahlberg. Yeah. Marky marks in it. All right. I'll look at that later. All right. Okay. All right. It's okay. Um, you know what? This one, my next pick, I don't know if the, um, it's comics. It's a video game. It's a TV series. It's movies. It's lasted a long across time. Um, it is, uh, it's a group. And, um, yeah, I don't know. I remember it finally like playing it at Chuck E. Cheese. Okay. When I was young and like usually beating the first level and then that's pretty much it. But there is this one day that I can't tell you how many tokens we plugged into it. Just have going. And ultimately we won. Um, it was Ninja Turtles. Uh, Ninja's across time. Yes. Um, it actually plays with it. Uh, wow. My brain went on super tangent there. Um, so yeah, my next pick is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Which one? Like the, the 1991. Ooh. Like the, yeah, the original. Yeah. Um, and if for some reason that's like past the appropriate level, then I choose Mutant Mayhem. The like, the new one that that has, uh, it's like the animation style is a lot like the spider burst. Yeah. If I can, I don't want to veto it, but I'm going to put my, I want to put my vote in for the more recent one. Okay. Because I love that animation. Yeah. Okay. So Ninja Turtles, excuse me, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem. What, so you, that was your pick, right? Um, that means I get a different. No, no, no, no, no. You can still pick whichever one you want. I'm just saying my vote would have been. All right. Uh, we've been picking a lot of these that aren't necessarily on some of the, not, they're not all on the big streaming services. And not everybody owns these movies. Um, and I kind of wanted to go classic, but with a twist. Um, in 2014, uh, production company decided, let's tell a little bit of a backstory. Let's tell a little bit of a story. Not from the perception we usually see. And, and that same year, I was playing a lot of Disney Infinity. And they came out with a figure for this one. And I was, I never saw the movie until it came to home, but I loved the figure. So my fourth movie, third movie, fourth movie, fourth movie, fifth movie, is Maleficent. And I don't know if we did Maleficent. I don't think we did. I'm pretty sure we, we haven't because I've seen it once, maybe twice. And I definitely didn't pay attention to it. But I dig it. I like the, uh, yeah, I like, um, I don't know if it's still a trend, but it kind of was, therefore, a while of like showing the, um, showing the perspective of the, the villain or, um, like a bystander or something like that. Yeah. I, uh, I appreciate those. All right. Um, oh, yeah, I did look this one up already. So this next one is, um, it's close to my heart. Okay. Although it would probably be better in the, um, Bible and books series. Oh, really? Yeah. Because that, the book, books, are way better. Um, which they pretty much always are. You know, let's be honest, very few movies, um, do justice to the book, let alone are better than the book. Um, what, that just gave me another one for, uh, for like the, for the after dark series. Um, so we're going in now. Yeah. Yup. Faith and film after dark. Uh, so, um, hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. Oh my goodness. Which I really can't believe we haven't done already. Right. Are you kidding me? It, uh, I know I brought it up and it's gotten vetoed. Um, we don't remember why. Um, take a look, take a look at like a parent's guide or something like that and find out why. I, uh, I don't remember. It's PG. I genuinely don't remember anything bad about it. I mean, arguably the, threaten lobotomy. Maybe we're going to, we're going to, we're going to push the envelope. I'm not going to overwrite that one. All right. There's certain ones that I'm like, yeah, we, I've got to overwrite it, but, uh, I'm not going to overwrite that one. All right. I had to check this next one. Uh, just in case, um, the biggest thing that I worry about is sexual content, um, in, in, in our, in our choices of movies. Um, I, uh, and so like there, there are certain movies that I'm like, yeah, like I saw one this weekend. I'm not going to say the title of it. I'll tell you off stream. I saw one this past weekend that I was like, oh my gosh. This is an amazing movie. But there was some content that we, I just could not have. Right. Um, but this one, it's, it's a little innuendo, but there are some, some, uh, profanities. Uh, but some of them are future slang. It's future slang. And I am all for explosions and giant robots. And I don't know if we've done this one before, but explosions and giant robots and, uh, Kaiju. He had this. Uh, so I don't know if we did it already. We might have done it, but how about a specific group? We have not. Um, and I had that, I had that on my backup list. Um, I was listening, I was listening to, um, daily nerd divo today. Yeah. And kind of catching up on some past episodes and, uh, yeah, a recent one talked about that. And I was like, why has that never come up for Facebook? Yes. Um, yes. I, yeah. Um, okay. My last one, this is hard because there are several in my backup list that I'm like, oh, that one. Let's do that one. Oh, that one's really good. Okay. I'm going to give a couple runners up that, um, just no, no, uh, because I'm or steel. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Where, uh, are we doing a, uh, a boycotting of shack as an actor? I mean, I wouldn't say no. I mean, sports legend. But, um, he's, uh, he's great as a sportscaster too. Um, he had the series for a minute, like, like, shack versus, or whatever, where he would go up against, um, other extreme athletes in, in their field. And he was competitive and just about everything. Hmm. Um, anyway. Um, oh, I really want to do that. All right. So one of the, like, geekiest things that I can think of it, maybe it was just from my formative years that it stuck as, um, like, if somebody plays this, they, they were in my mind, like, a total geek, total nerd, like the epitome of it. And, um, usually there were other things like reading Lord of the Rings and, um, stuff like that. And reading comic books and so on. But the thing that, like, cemented them as Uber nerd was playing Dungeons of Dungeons and Dragons. And, um, by the way, I have an idea for off-stream that I want to pitch to you, involving Dungeons and Dragons. But, uh, yeah, my final pick is the newest movie, um, Dungeons and Dragons, honor among thieves. Not mad at it. Not mad at it. I did like that. A lot of people didn't. And I'm like, it was, I enjoyed it. Like, yeah, I enjoyed it. Um, this is my final pick here. Yes, sir. Well, recently, I have been on a kick of a certain, not, I want to say genre, but a certain topic of TV show and movies. Um, and, uh, I actually a couple of different ones. And one of them is Transformers. I love giant, like, you can tell part of my Pacific Rim. I love giant robots, right? Um, I love explosions. Um, my kid finally understands the Michael Bay meme, you know, by Michael Bay, it's after all this flashy stuff. And now he gets it because he was watching. He watched, we've been watching through the Transformers movies. Um, but that's not the one that I'm talking about. It's the other side of Pacific Rim. The one where it's the Kaiju. My nephew loves Kaiju. Oh my gosh. Giant monsters tearing up the, tearing up the streets. They even made a movie, uh, rampage. I remember the, uh, the game rampage. They made a rampage with the rock. Really? That's not the one I'm talking about. Not the one I'm talking about. Uh, Evo Tar Q, uh, Evo Tar Q, uh, Evo Tar Q, uh, Evo Tar Q, uh, Evo Tar Q, uh, this next year of Faith and Film, uh, and film, uh, and film, uh, and film, uh, take you there. Now I didn't realize there's anime out for there's TV series out for tons of movies. And I just saw the most recent one. But I'm going back to 2019's Godzilla King of the Monsters. That's the one. Are you sure? Are you sure you haven't done that one already? No, we did Godzilla. Oh, we didn't do King of the Monsters. That's the reason that I know we did Godzilla, which is the first one of the series of the newest series. Um, I know we did it because Kajar made fun of me for not getting to see Godzilla. So yeah, that's uh, that's where I am. Uh, Godzilla King of the Monsters. I love the fact that there are so many of them. Like there's so many of the monsters in this movie. Um, I don't, I saw, uh, the Rodan was in it. I didn't see, uh, Gamera, who's the defliting turtle. Oh, I thought that was the monster. No, that's a monster. That's a monster. Okay, you can tell because the moth is in the name. Shut up. Uh, they both ended wrong. Yeah, just saying. Yeah. Um, but yeah, I've been, I've been like, I haven't finished reading it. Uh, I have been binging, um, uh, Godzilla content like you wouldn't believe Netflix has some anime that I did not expect to be good. Uh, Godzilla minus one was so good. It was so, I was like, this is classic Godzilla, not badly dubbed, but dubbed over, like dubbed over audio. He's stepping on people in the streets. I'm like, this is the Godzilla I remember growing up with. And it's, it was so good. But anyway, that's what, that's what I got. Yeah. That just brought another, the dubbing part specifically, brought another movie to mind. Okay. For, uh, no, okay. No, like it could fit on here. Um, uh, all right. So, um, this is such a good list. This is hard. It's, it's really, I, I expected us to have a troll movie, not a trolls movie, but a troll movie for each other. But we didn't, neither one of us put a troll movie down. I, uh, wait, I still have one left, right? So for my last movie, I want to, you know, you don't have, uh, you just said you, you said, no, no, you said, my other, other, uh, Charlotte's web. Uh, that's an honorable mention. That's really good. I hate you because I'm okay with it because it's mostly pig. Some pig, uh, that, uh, Sherry, I already had, I already had one extremely depressing movie that like probably traumatized me as a kid on the movie, around the list. Sure. Uh, okay. Yeah. Charlotte's web doesn't as you get on there. Yeah. Sure. Uh, we've done, we've done latent. We did all of the bad, uh, dream works movies and you can actually see them on our YouTube, um, uh, in the, uh, the, uh, fever dream works series. And I think Shrek 3 was on that one. So, all right. Um, so they made a second one. A second what? Charlotte's web? No, um, talking about like poorly made movies, um, I came across one on, I forget what streaming service it was. And like, I can get into some, um, some campy movies. Yeah. But this one was like just no, what's up there for worst movie I've ever seen. Really? It's called zoo wars. No, I've never, okay, we'll talk after because we have, we're running out of time. We're running out of time. Yes, we are like 30 minutes over our, yeah, yeah. Um, so what movie of mine are you going to veto? And you're going to have to read yours off to me again. All right. Um, man, it's so hard. Um, did you put it in our chat at all? I did not, but I can. Yeah. That way I can look at it too. Uh, if I can bring up the window. All right. I think I know, but I need to stare them longer. And make sure I don't accidentally choose one of my own. I'm going to go with Maleficent. Maleficent, I'm going to go. Yeah. And I feel like I feel kind of bad about it, but also that's the one that I least want to rewatch. Um, like I almost did, I was tempted to do uncharted because I'm just so very much unfamiliar with either the, the games or the movie. Right, right, right. But you know what? Let's, let's do it. Let's see. So, uh, yeah, Maleficent. Okay. I'm okay not watching it again. I can't pull up our chat. What chat did you put it in? Our direct messages. Okay. There it is. All right. Um, so you got Jumanji Stardust hook. Oh, good lord. Don't it in dragons. All right. The only one that I'm going to take off is the one I haven't seen. No, don't do it. Um, it fits. Oh, well, I promise you. But I don't, I can't get rid of any of the others. All the other ones are like, oh my gosh, I would love to talk about these movies. I bet you, like, all right. Voted off. That's okay. Um, you still need to watch it. Oh, I, I mean, you're going to say we need to bring it back. Okay. I will, I will find a way to watch it. Um, but all the rest of these I'm looking at and I'm like, I want to talk about the story so bad. Right. Um, hook. Dude, hook was the movie that reminded me that at some point, I'm going to need to grow up. But not too much. Right. Right. Um, mutin mayhem. Oh, the art and that is so good. Hey, chikers guy is just like, I, there was no way. Chikers guide was leaving. There was zero way. I appreciate that. Um, and does it attract us? I haven't seen it in a while, but I have really enjoyed it. So like, I have to go with the unknown. Because I didn't want a chance kicking one of these that I love off. Right. And there was no way I was going to take Robin Williams away from you. I just wasn't going to do it. All right, you guys. So we will organize these, um, into monthly deals. We'll let you know when we are, uh, when we are streaming them. But if you're curious about how to find out where that is, you can join us in our discord. You guys try to discord. It's right there. Right there. Go do it. All right. Oh, man. So the list is Jumanji Harry Potter and Goblet of Fire Rise of the Planet of the Apes hook Spider-Man no way home to never ending story. Uncharted. TAs written into Turtles Mutant Mayhem Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Pacific Rim. Dungeons and Dragons honor among thieves and Godzilla King of the Monsters. You guys. I cannot wait. This is going to be great. And we, uh, I'm just looking at this. We, what we might have to record. We might have, uh, Alex. Alex. Yes, sir. Are you coming to quake this year? I barely know what I'm doing this weekend. This next year, we have to talk about it because what do you think about? Like, I don't know if I'm going to do it at any of the other quakes, but at the one that you go to, what if we did a live recording? Like we watched the movie, we make sure we have watched the movie. Heck, we watched the movie on Friday night. You know what? I think that it should be like an exclusive experience thing. That's my vote is, uh, that we, we do it. We can record it. But I like the fact that like, you have to be there to participate and to, um, to join the conversation. You know, just like jumping on on Twitch and joining the conversation, you know, live this way. Yeah. Or, um, or like we did the live ones at life fest. Yeah. You had to be there. Yeah. I, that, I very much appreciate that. And, um, overall, I do, I love the idea of doing a faith in film live at quake. Yeah. You know, ever in watching the movie together and just chatting about it real time. Huh. We went ahead to think about, oh my goodness. What if we'll talk about the stuff offline, offline, offline, offline, offline. Oh, the wheels are turning. The wheels are turning. I got it. Oh, oh my gosh. I think we just, oh my goodness. Okay. All right. I think I just came up with my workshop for quake. Okay. All right. All right. What's the target length for this work? So the target length for the, our, our talk I draft is like, it's 30 minutes, right? Yeah. And it's kind of the same for, uh, at quake for the workshops. Okay. Oh, no, I'm saying right now. We're, we're in our 15. Oh, yeah. From the target of three minutes. Yeah. We got to go. All right, you guys. This I love it. I love it. Has been a faith in film, rebirth. We're going for it. We're going for you guys. We'll, we'll keep you updated. Be in the, make sure you are in the, uh, the chats in the discord. If you're listening to the audio version, uh, there should be some notes in the show notes about, uh, discord. Probably maybe. If not, follow some Twitch. God games and geekery. You have to spell out the end. I love it. Remember Jesus loves you. So do I. So does that guy and always, always, always bring a towel. His hacker's guide is later. Leave people better than your back. (upbeat music)
