Speaker 1:
0:00
Welcome to your go-to source for entertainment. Wait for it Gaming, wait for it Anime PLUS ULTRA. Mr Eric Almighty and Phil the Filipino.
Speaker 2:
0:14
Yeah, they've got you covered and all you gotta do is wait for it. This is the Wait For it Podcast. Hey, everyone, welcome back to the Wait For it Podcast. I am your co-host, phil Smith, aka Phil the Filipino, and joining me, as always, is your other co-host, mr Eric Almighty.
Speaker 2:
0:45
And Eric, here we are, september still going strong, creator spotlight, and you know I'm proud of us. You know we set out a goal. We said, hey, every single month we're going to find someone to bring on, highlight them and what they do. And, man, we've done a really great job with us. So I'm going to give us our own flowers here Before we give flowers to our guests today, who I'm very excited to speak with.
Speaker 2:
1:07
You and her just met just a few moments ago in the pre-show. But I have known Rebecca through different avenues here in Jacksonville Florida, specifically through stand-up comedy. But for those of you that may not know, I have been pursuing voice acting and when it comes to any type of voice acting, the base of that, wherever you need to start, is acting class, and there was somebody here I knew, as well as a local production company that I knew that I could turn to when it comes to when it, when it came to pursuing this journey that I am on. So, Eric, super excited to talk to her today and maybe you know, learn some things about acting that we certainly did not know and our audience maybe didn't know.
Speaker 3:
1:51
Yeah, and I think in the spirit of what we wanted to create this episode for for our audience, is really to give a large variety of different people that we consider to be creators that doesn't just mean necessarily your content creators or fellow podcasters, but, in addition to having a voice actor on before, kind of on the other side, people that are wanting to get into that or just acting in general right, I think that's such a cool thing to bring to the forefront and, like many of our guests, we are going to have a ton of fun getting to not only know our guests, have a little bit of fun, discuss some mutual interest in some pop culture and then, of course, we'll end it with a game. This time phil has been tasked with that, so we will see if the curse of uh me, uh rigging the game will stick and if phil adopted that or if he gave us a fair shot. But, phil, why don't you give our audience a quick introduction to our guest and we'll get the ball moving here.
Speaker 2:
2:48
Yeah, absolutely. I'm very, very excited to bring in our guest today for Creator Spotlight, rebecca Thompson from Creative Veins Performing Arts here in Jacksonville, florida. So, Rebecca, thank you so much for joining us here this evening. How are you, and welcome to the show.
Speaker 1:
3:06
Thank you, I'm very happy to be here. I am well Really tired of the rain, but other than that I'm great, I'm doing good.
Speaker 2:
3:15
Yeah, it is. For those of you that are not located here in North Florida. It has been just a consistent thing and you know, for you, the studio being located where it is, you're obviously very much more effective than maybe Eric and I are. So, yeah, that has been a lot of fun, eric. Hopefully we got our fingers crossed for Sunday's game that it's not going to be like a monsoon.
Speaker 3:
3:37
Yeah, Well, not great because on my way to work which typically never has flooding issues I ran into at least three different sections that flooded. So that was, that was cool. Thank you Florida. So fingers crossed, it looks like next week will be great, but Sunday TBD, yeah it has been rough.
Speaker 2:
3:57
So, rebecca, again, as we mentioned, super excited to have you in here today. So before we jump into it, I want to welcome in any brand new listeners. Maybe you're from the Creative Veins family that Rebecca has helped culture here in Jacksonville, and thank you so much for checking out the episode. Make sure you stick around to the very end. We'll let you know where you can find all the rest of our content. Or maybe you met us at Ocala Comic Con this past weekend, because we're in the future right now. This episode doesn't come out until the end of the month. Maybe you met us at Ocala Comic Con down in Ocala, Florida, and thank you guys so much for making OCC yet another memorable convention. But, rebecca, let's go ahead and just jump into it. Please, for anybody that may not be familiar with you or what you do, let us know about yourself as well as, of course, creative veins here in Jacksonville about yourself as well as, of course, creative Veins here in Jacksonville.
Speaker 1:
4:52
Yeah, absolutely so. My name is Rebecca. I am an actor, an instructor here, and I own Creative Veins Performing Arts Studio, which is a training studio for acting, improv, screenwriting and stand-up comedy. But primarily we're an acting studio. We just hold workshops throughout the year for the other crafts and then, aside from that, I also do a little bit of casting and location scouting, production management just kind of a dabbler, I guess. But first and foremost, actor and acting instructor.
Speaker 2:
5:22
Yeah, a little bit of everything down there at Creative Veins, and that's one thing that's, I think, great about the classes as well, as you do kind of incorporate a little bit of all of that within within a class, maybe not so much in like class one or class two, but like a little bit of here in class three and then a little bit here in class four, which I think is really really great and really kind of pulling people out of their comfort zone, which I think has been, which is one of the most fun parts about it. To kind of go back and talk about you as far as your acting journey. Where did all of that start? What really made you interested in that? Were you a theater kid, drama kid, all of that? You know, where did that begin for your journey?
Speaker 1:
6:08
did that begin for your journey. So it really started and I got the bug, as they say, in middle school. So I was involved in drama class and I did not think that I could take something like that as an elective. Oh goodbye, I just have. We actually just had a production meeting, so yeah. So I started in sixth grade and Mr Petard's drama and theater class and then I just fell in love. I thought this can't be a class. This is so much fun. I was hooked, moving like throughout school.
Speaker 1:
6:37
I wouldn't really say I was a theater kid. I did theater, but I did a lot of things. I did sports, I did tennis, did tennis, swimming, golf, cheerleading, but also loved acting and drama. It was, it's just always really fun. And then I did what everybody tells you you should do. We'll go get an education just in case, go get a job. Right, you have your fallback, like your plan b, and I did all of that and it was okay, it was fine. But I realized it just did not make me as happy as this. And uh, luckily I have a very supportive family. They didn't like chastise me for wanting to go into acting or or eventually teach acting or open a studio. They've never said anything bad about it, like they're very proud, and I think it's cool to have somebody, or you know, family parents that are like we just want you to be happy and that's like our main thing. And so I know I'm very blessed in that, because I have students that tell me they don't even tell their family that they're doing acting, because they're so, they're so afraid that they're going to just say a ton of negative things. So, anywho, um, but yeah. So then I got back into it a little bit more seriously.
Speaker 1:
7:55
I ended up moving to Atlanta. I pursued it I'm still pursuing it professionally, but I really, um, had a lot of luck up there and um, yeah, I don't know if you want to hear this part yet, but the studio kind of just started because I came back here to make a movie, because I was in Atlanta and it's very expensive to make a movie, rent equipment, you know, rent out a soundstage, because it doesn't matter if you're an independent filmmaker or not, you are still paying those same like prices that you would in Atlanta. So I brought the production here and we made the movie here and I was like, wow, it's so cheap to do things here. Nobody cares what you do, like you could literally go out in the street and film something. It's not like you're gonna get stopped, like where's your permit, where's your off-duty officers, what's going on? It's like the wild, wild west here.
Speaker 1:
8:46
So it was really great for movie making. But as far as like at that time this was like a decade ago trying to find talent for the movie here was a little bit more difficult than finding in atlanta, because just the caliber of actor here at that time wasn't quite like on par with what I was used to in Atlanta. I had no idea that Jacksonville desired any kind of performing art studio, so it was really just born out of hey, there's a need and people are asking for this, so we'll start very, very small. And then it just kind of grew into what it is now.
Speaker 2:
9:25
I started in a just a one room studio in Riverside and now I'm I'm in San Marco and I'm in a almost 5,000 square foot building and we have classes almost every day, and so it was just really kind of like you know, awesome, but not planned at all to to do all of this, so yeah, yeah, and Eric, I think one thing that you know Rebecca said is something that we always hear from a lot of the voice actors that we work with voice actors, or just even actors as well, is they always mention like a 9 to 5 or you know pursuing something else, and they always mention like it just was not fulfilling, it was not making me happy, and that seems to be a constant through anybody that is pursuing anything creative, whether it is acting or even with us where it's podcast hosting or event hosting it's always comes back to man. I really wasn't enjoying my nine to five. I had to find something that was more fulfilling.
Speaker 3:
10:21
Yeah, which is awesome. And, Rebecca, I think it's really cool, you know, just to kind of commend you for the localness of our conversation. Like you do hear people kind of have that assumption like, oh, I need to move to Atlanta or Dallas or LA, I have to go to one of these big cities, work at a diner and hope I get found Right, like that's kind of people's vision from a very simplistic, maybe even ignorant standpoint, sometimes just kind of assuming oh, it's just like the movies, you have to go to one of those big cities and be found. So just kudos to you for having something here locally, us being in the scene. We see those people that you're talking about that want to have those creative outlets. So having that available I think is amazing.
Speaker 3:
11:04
I'm curious what your experience has been and what type of advice you have for people that sit in maybe one of two camps. Right, you have the one side that they want to get into that creative imagination, but they're scared to do it, and then you might have the other end of the spectrum and everyone in between of, oh, this is really easy. I can go up on stage and improv, if someone asked me to, where do you find the pain points or the struggles with all of those individuals. Is there anything that they all kind of align to a singular struggle that you tend to see the most for people that are trying to again get into that creative mindset, when that's not something they typically do or they have a desire to but are too afraid to do?
Speaker 1:
11:48
Sure. So I would say for the first part of it and I know Phil has heard this, I talk about this in class a lot If somebody is afraid to do something, first we tend to like, if we get nervous or afraid, we have this big fear. Big fear about oh, I could never do that, I could never go on a stage, I could never take a class, even I. Just I'm too fearful of that. One is don't beat yourself up about that fear and being afraid of something that you've never done before. That is a thousand percent normal and natural and, believe it or not, your body is doing you a great service because your body is saying, hey, are you sure about this? It's your nervous system trying to protect you against things that could hurt you, right? Well, of course, like, an acting class isn't going to hurt you. We know all that like logically, but fear is not logical. Um, that's why we'll go on a rollercoaster and it's like like you have, you know, a very good chance of surviving that, but we still are so afraid because we don't know what's going to happen. Right, but if you're afraid of it, it's OK. You're like everyone else. We have fears when we have never experienced something. So what I say is just pat yourself on the back. Your body is doing its job. And once you go and do the thing, yeah, you have to take the step, but then you will have done it. You know that information and you know, okay, this isn't going to hurt me, I'm fine. And then it just keeps getting easier and easier, because now you're used to it, you're familiar with it, right. But yeah, that very first step it is hard. It is hard, but there's no way around it. It's like saying I want to go swimming but I don't want to get wet. Well, there just isn't a way to do that. You do have to at least dip your toe in, you know.
Speaker 1:
13:35
And then, as far as people thinking that they can go on stage and just wing it, I don't think that that's the best idea. I think that you should at least prepare. Whatever you're doing, you know if you care about it, I think you should care about being at least decent at it, right? Don't do yourself like that disservice of just like, ah, whatever, you know, I think you also owe it to your audience. You know they're there, even if it's a free show or something. You know, whatever, like it didn't cost me money. They're giving you their time and their attention, so you at least owe it to an audience to be somewhat prepared instead of just going up on stage and winging it.
Speaker 1:
14:20
But yeah, I do see a lot of people in like one or two camps where it's either I'm too afraid to do the thing and I'm just never going to do it, or I'm not afraid, I don't care, I'm just going to go do it whatever. And it's like the sweet spot is in the middle, like try it and also be prepared. Right, don't be on those two opposite ends. You know what I mean.
Speaker 3:
14:44
So that makes a lot of sense. Yeah, and I think maybe where those two sides meet in the middle is obviously that repetition, which is something that I think is huge and important. I mean, phil, uh, from your experience, uh, now that you've had a little bit under your belt with so much repetition, still to go right to really master that craft, I mean just in your experience so far, what has that repetition difference uh been like, just from that standpoint?
Speaker 2:
15:12
well as an established uh actor. Now, uh, I can't answer that question. No, um, but, rebecca, you brought this up a lot in my beginners class because you know that I've done stand-up comedy for 10 years and it's very similar to the comic. I'll use air quotes because that can that. I've done stand-up comedy for 10 years and it's very similar to the comic. I'll use air quotes that thinks they can just go up on any night and rush and they don't go to an open mic, they don't go try and hone their skills elsewhere. It's very similar. So we talked about this before you had joined the room, eric.
Speaker 2:
15:44
I think I was a little taken aback by the, the step up from beginner to intermediate, because, you know, beginner really kind of gives you an idea of what this is going to be and the style that Rebecca teaches. And then the first class in intermediate you're thrown into it and I actually wasn't aware that there would also be advanced students in that class. So, like seeing them work, I was like, oh, I have no idea what I'm doing and that's great. Like that was one of the things that I do think the comedy zone here in Jacksonville did do correctly is that they threw these new people in with these people that have been doing it for years, and I think all of that is great and also, again, community being a big part of it as well. But, yeah, getting thrown into that class with the people that have been doing it for years, I mean, you have, you have actors in there from all different levels interacting with all these newbies, and because it is such a supportive environment, even though I kind of stood back and just kind of observed the first one, I thought about it all week and about how I was going to approach it the next class and and jump in the next go around, and that's definitely what I did.
Speaker 2:
16:49
But, yeah, having that repetition, I think, rebecca, you you pointed this out maybe probably in the second and maybe even the fourth class talking about repetition and how you would kind of received some feedback from people that were either a little thrown off or maybe they didn't think, maybe they didn't expect what the class actually was, and that's the type of person that I think that we're all referring to. That's kind of like oh well, I want to swim but I don't want to get wet, like that's the type of person that's like I'm halfway in but you can't be halfway in Like you got it, you got gotta dive into it. So and for some people you know, maybe that's what they need is like they need to take the class, they need to see it in in action to realize, oh, this isn't exactly what I'm looking for, maybe I need to veer elsewhere, or they can reevaluate how they approach it and rediscover if they want to really pursue this, because, yeah, it can be tough.
Speaker 3:
17:49
It can. It can certainly be tough. Yeah, I really like that and I think that's that's hugely important for somebody trying to get into it and and I could only imagine what that looks like. So, you know, huge kudos to Phil. We talk about it constantly, like just to make that leap, I think, is huge. And then there's so many more leaps beyond that that are really interesting.
Speaker 3:
18:04
Rebecca, kind of switching it up a little bit, I'm very curious, you know, getting into this world of acting, improv screenwriting. Obviously there there was definitely just like in any type of passionate thing that you do, there's probably like a starting point. And I'm kind of curious for you. Like a starting point, and I'm kind of curious for you, was there like a movie, a film, um, an actor, a scene? Was there something that you could kind of remember, hearkening back to those beginning days in this field that really made you like get a love for it and maybe not necessarily make you want to teach it right away, but at least got you initially into it, because I think to do something like this you have to be obsessive with the craft. So what was that one thing or a few things early on in your life that got you to that obsession point that led you to where you are now.
Speaker 1:
18:56
Wow, there's been a lot. So, right off the bat, I told you I took a theater drama class with a middle school teacher, mr Petard, and he let us write our own skits and he would have us go out in the hallway and like, looking back now, he probably just wanted a break from us, but he let us go in the hallway which was so cool and we would practice our skits and then we would come back in we would perform them and then he'd give us notes and you know. So some was scripted and there was a little bit of improv too. So that's when I immediately fell in love and thought I can't believe this is counting towards a grade, a credit for an elective, you know. So that really got me obsessed with it for that time.
Speaker 1:
19:46
Later on, I did a music video and there's no talking, but it was a music video, for they're not like a big name or anything, but they they did have an album and they were recording a music video for this particular song that dealt with domestic violence and people noticing things but never saying anything, and the song was called Time to Talk, and so I played the girlfriend who was basically being abused by the boyfriend, and the way it was shot, we were acting. But when I showed people that video, their reaction to it was like oh my gosh, are you OK? And I'm like, oh no, it's fine Like we're acting, you know. But I remember like, because in the music video she passes away like she dies, and you know, it's like one of those shoulda, coulda, woulda said something and I was like this is so cool, but I wish that our dialogue had been in the video, but it wasn't. It was the song, right. And so then I was I mean, I had done like some other acting things, modeling things, you know but I was like I really want to pursue it but have lines that you can actually hear.
Speaker 1:
21:07
When I was up in Atlanta, I worked on a couple different TV shows and that was really fun. I worked on this kind of it's like there's a lot of fans of it, but to me I feel like it's kind of cheesy. It's like the originals and Vampire Diaries. I worked on a couple of those shows and I did this Eva Longoria show called Devious Maids and just being on a set that huge, I just I was in awe and and then even doing stuff here like I constantly fall in love with it, you know, and there's always something new and there's, it's like every day is different. So I think there's definitely things that happened that pushed me towards it. But then there's definitely things that happened that pushed me towards it, but then there's still things that make me stay, you know. So, like even today, I was telling Phil, we did a, we did a series of videos for this nonprofit, uh, in Jacksonville, and I mean I wasn't in it, I wasn't acting, but you know, I served as, like, production manager and I was the casting person and that was super cool, like all these people coming together they don't know each other and by the end of the shoot, everyone's hugging and friends and exchanging phone numbers, and they just had this really cool experience.
Speaker 1:
22:22
And then that content is going to get used to raise money for an organization that helps people in need. You know, so I mean, yeah, we do things, acting projects for entertainment and all that to raise money for an organization that helps people in need. You know. So I mean, yeah, we do things, acting projects for entertainment and all that, but then there's also acting projects that you can do that benefit other people, you know, not just through, like empathy and storytelling, but the people today did something that's going to help raise money for real families that are like in crises, you know.
Speaker 2:
22:52
So yeah, yeah, that's great and I can definitely understand like getting that, once you get like a taste of it, like you talk about being on set and you know working for those specific projects, like it's very similar, eric, when we jumped into the convention scene, like we got that one taste of doing, you know, q&a panels and speaking with people that we had paid to go see else, like at conventions elsewhere, and then all of a sudden, like they're entrusting us to, you know, help navigate them through what can sometimes be a very stressful like event when it comes to speaking with an audience and speaking with, like fans of their shows and things like that. So once you do get that like taste of it, you're like, okay, well, this is it, this is definitely what, like I am ready to pursue, what I'm ready to do for sure. So I've kind of touched on it here a little bit, rebecca and Eric. This also kind of comes back to us, because we're not the podcast we are today without the JPU, which is the Jacksonville Podcasters Unite Group. Shout out to Potter, shout out to Blythe, and we are a lot of the success we can really specifically place on them and thank them for being so wonderful in creating a community.
Speaker 2:
24:03
Rebecca, I've mentioned a little bit earlier that, like also the community you've created at Creative Aims, is also just very incredibly supportive. Supportive, and I mean I've only been to because with the beginners class, you know, it's very centralized, it's the people that are also in beginners, but then again you get thrown into the pond with the big fish immediately in the intermediate class, and the sense of, of unity and also the sense of people just being ready to help each other out is very, very impressive. So maybe, speaking to those people we talked about a little bit earlier who think, oh, there's no way I could do this, or maybe even they think that they wouldn't be able to do it alone, well, that's not going to be the case because of this community you have cultured and you have created. So talk a little bit about that community that you have there at Creative Veins and how awesome it is to have so many supportive people in your corner.
Speaker 1:
24:51
Sure, well, first I want to say I don't know, I don't think I throw people into level two.
Speaker 2:
24:58
No, no, no, but I'm just like, but again.
Speaker 1:
25:02
I had no idea.
Speaker 2:
25:03
I was like oh, these people are like they've been around and I don't know what I'm doing.
Speaker 1:
25:08
It's just because you hadn't seen them before.
Speaker 2:
25:09
No around and I have not know what I'm doing. It's just because you hadn't seen them before.
Speaker 1:
25:12
No, yeah, I had no idea. I was like, who are these people? Yeah, they must have been here forever. Yeah, no. So I definitely, especially in the level one class. I don't believe in throwing anyone to the wolves Like we do ease into it, you know. But then there also has to be a certain point right where we've shown you the basics. So level one is like a little bit of everything I like to. I like analogies a lot. I feel like it's the appetizer sampler.
Speaker 1:
25:39
You get at the restaurant, right, just get to do a little bit of script analysis and some acting technique. We learn about the business side, just a lot of little things all together. And then when we go into level two, it's really just about acting technique, the emotional work. So yeah, there is no way to really ease into emotional work. We do ease into it in level one, but now it's like, okay, you're in level two, you're telling me I want to go further into this. So there's really no like tiptoeing around, we just got to go in.
Speaker 1:
26:12
But the cool thing is is like no one is going to be rude or ugly or put you down. No one's going to shame you because you're new to level two. Every person has been in that spot, everybody had a first day in level two, right? So, and I think, just in general, people who pursue acting, they just have empathy. You know they get it, and so they would never dream of shaming someone for pursuing the same thing they are pursuing, right, it's like you're in the same boat as me. You get it. You know what this is about. You want to do it too, like you're my friend, you're my classmate, you're, you know, my colleague. So I think that is why there is such a sense of community is because we all get it. We all have that empathy, for we know where you're at, we know where you want to go, want to go me too. Yeah, I'm here to do the same things as you.
Speaker 1:
27:12
And then you have, even if you're just from a totally different walk of life, you're older or younger or have a different kind of job on the side, whatever, you have that same shared passion for this particular art form, and so it's like not like you go to work and then people can talk to you about acting and Meisner technique or whatever activity you did. So just having that commonality also bonds people. And then when you're doing emotional work. You are literally witnessing or participating in emotional work. It's like being emotionally naked in front of others. That's what attracts people to acting, and it is also the scariest thing with acting.
Speaker 1:
27:55
So when you have that shared experience, that's unlike anything else. You bond very, very quickly. It's like no one else gets you. That's why after class, people linger for like an hour because they don't want to go home yet, because it's like this is my family, away from my family, and they understand. And now I don't get to see them for a whole week, you know. So I think it just the community part is just we're all doing something that we love, we all care about each other deeply and, um, doesn't matter what your situation is out there, in here we're all friends and we're going to support each other and encourage each other and we all just want to grow.
Speaker 2:
28:34
So, yeah, yeah, that's how we are, Eric. At the end of every convention, we stick around as long as we possibly can to talk to all of our vendor and artist friends and everybody there, until they kick us out of the building, because it's not even a week before we see them. It could be months before we see those people again. So, yeah, we need to try to stick around with our buds.
Speaker 3:
28:54
Yeah, no, exactly, and that's why I use some of the words like passionate and obsessive, because those are very strong emotive feelings To have in spaces like that. And, rebecca, I'm very curious, like as someone who's also Phil knows, in my nine to five I've had a lot of training experience, so I've being kind of in the teacher mindset. For adults it's always interesting because as a learner you have that one light bulb go off and it's everything. It means everything to that learner. But as a teacher you get to see multiple light bulbs go off constantly, right, and you know that you have a part to play. So my question to you is is there any memorable light bulbs that you can kind of call out on the spot? And this could be recent, this could be all timers, but I'm kind of curious, like from your perspective, what are some of those light bulb moments that have been memorable in your role that you've played?
Speaker 1:
29:52
Sure.
Speaker 1:
29:52
So I had one today. It was super cute actually. So I told you we did this. Nonprofit organizations like help them with the casting. We had all these actors here to record these videos.
Speaker 1:
30:05
And I have had a young student. He's in my kids' class. He's been obsessed with acting, his mom says, for several years, but they didn't feel like he was quite old enough yet. He's about 11 now. So they're like okay, we'll sign you up for classes. He started doing classes a few months ago.
Speaker 1:
30:25
He's naturally gifted, he's naturally talented and I do think that lots of people have very natural abilities for acting. It's just to me, acting is like running right, we can all run, but how fast, how far? And does anybody want to pay to watch you run right? So he has a lot of natural gifts and's been in classes like honing that, growing, learning, all of that. And then he got booked on this project today and I think I mean, I understand he's a kid, but this is something he really, really wants to do and I and I don't know what he's going to do for the rest of his life, but right now this is what he wants. And today he worked for two hours and it was a very easy video shoot. They're just doing these like videos of families, like playing a game, doing a puzzle, drawing, but he's having to interact with these adult actors. He's never met as if they are family. Because this has to be believable, it has to be look, looks like truth. And then at the end of the um video shoot he gets paid. He got a pretty good chunk of money and he was just, it was like whoa, I can, I'm good enough to where I can get paid for this and I got money and you know, as 11 year old, getting like a hundred dollars or something. You're like I'm rich, you know. So that was super cute and sweet and you know, I hope he continues doing it. If he doesn't, that's okay too, right, like different paths and things happen and all that. But for right now, this is what he loves and it was super cool to see him realize that, what he loves. And it was super cool to see him realize that, yes, you are, you, you could do this and you are doing this and you're you're getting paid to do it, you know. So that was super cool.
Speaker 1:
32:18
And then I would say another light bulb moment I had actually uh, or somebody had was in level two class the one that you just did, phil there was somebody in the class and I used them as an example for a few things, because they're just a really great person, super sweet, awesome to be around and he had not realized that at one of our actor meetups he had been talking to a director. And it turns out then he came in for an audition. And it was that he came in for an audition like a week or so later and that same director was the one holding the auditions. And then later on the director told me I don't care if he isn't right for this particular part, I'm going to make sure he has a part, because he is so enjoyable to be around, I want to work with him, he has such a good attitude.
Speaker 1:
33:18
And so I saw that light bulb moment, not just in his head but in other people's in the class, in their heads, where attitude is so important, like you can be a great actor, but if you have a crummy attitude, nobody's going to want to work with you. So they had that realization like, oh, I really need and they are, they're professional, sweet, great people, but to have a real example of you know, it doesn't matter that he just started and maybe he's not right for the part he auditioned for, someone is going to make sure that he has something because they want to work with him so badly because he's such a positive, you know, team player. So, yeah, there's light bulb moments, like all the time, and it is wonderful it is. It is great getting to see that and I love being the one to share all of this with someone, and then they can decide hey, is this? You know they get to make that decision if I want to pursue this or not.
Speaker 3:
34:12
You know A hundred percent, yeah, and I think that's really. Those are two great examples, very different examples too. And, phil, how many times have we brought up the scenarios where we've been at conventions and you know we've had a voice actor literally tell an audience like just don't be a dick, like just don't don't be a bad person, don't don't be a dick, like just don't don't be a bad person, don't don't be terrible to people. You know, just do what you're supposed to do, do the right thing, have a good attitude, and that goes. So it pays so many dividends down the road, uh. So, phil, I thought that was a really, really nice parallel, just a constant theme that we continue to hear in communities like this yeah, first on.
Speaker 2:
34:49
First on the latter story, as far as the actor that was in my class, yeah, they've got it. And as far as what you want to see early on, at least I think from what I've heard you say, rebecca, and again, they are just a delight to interact with and even though we didn't really speak too much the first go around because I did it with Thomas, so you click up with your buddy whenever you're in the class for the first time but, like second time around in the intermediate class, immediately sought him out and you know, obviously so welcoming. So yeah, that's a good example, eric, when you bring up, they always say, yeah, I mean as far as the networking goes, like, just don't be an asshole. Sometimes people slip through the cracks but you know there's nothing we can do about that because it is what it is. But I mean, in terms of the first story that she told, that happened to me the first time I got like $25 for doing stand up comedy and I remember in the comedy Bible, which is one of the first books I ever bought for stand up, there was a part in there that says like for the moment you get paid. You go from being somebody who does stand-up comedy on the side to a stand-up comic who also happens to work at GameStop, you know, or wherever it is. I was working at the time, so you know that light bulb can turn on and you're like, oh, I can get paid for something that I really really love.
Speaker 2:
36:03
There was actually an Instagram reel I saw recently of a stand-up comic. I can't remember his name, but he would always talk about like, or he would always look at it in a way like man, I dropped this special and people weren't really talking about it the way that I wanted to, or I told this joke and people didn't react the way that I wanted to. But then he did recently five shows in Atlanta, no material. He just went up and did five shows, no prep, and they were, they were all fantastic and then he finally sat in the moment where he's like oh, I'm funny, I'm good at this.
Speaker 2:
36:36
So I think whenever people have that moment like we've had that moment as well, eric like over time is again, we get more feedback from every time we work a show. Oh, you guys are good at this, you guys are, you know, you guys know what you're're doing and we thank you so much for helping keep things on the straight and narrow. So getting that confirmation is always huge. So, no matter what the avenue may be, um, in terms of, uh, your, uh, your passion, so really, really great stories.
Speaker 2:
37:03
I'm glad you brought that one up because, yeah, it was like what are the chances of that happening? Because, again, he's just that's just him being a cool guy and it just led to him getting that opportunity so to kind of pivot right before we go into the games. I do want to ask you, because you use a couple of examples in the beginner's class in terms of kind of who you admire in terms of their style and some that are maybe to kind of stay away from. So I want to ask who are some actors, actresses, where, if somebody were to come up to you and be like, hey, this is something I'm interested in, who's craft, who is somebody that you really look up to or think stands out in terms of what they do in movies, television, whatever it may be that you're like, oh, this is definitely somebody you kind of want to model how you carry yourself both on in front of the camera and behind the camera.
Speaker 1:
37:58
So I think you already know my answer. So I believe that she is one of the greatest of all times, at least the greatest of our generation. I think Viola Davis is one of the top echelon baddest, coolest, most awesome actors ever. She can do anything. In my opinion, I think everything I see her in, even if I'm not a big fan of the film itself, or I see her in even if I'm not a big fan of the film itself, or you know the play or whatever. I just think that she can do anything. Her emotional range is vast and very deep and she has the ability to make you love her, hate her, root for her.
Speaker 1:
38:45
But I will say, if, if any actor has the ability to make you feel something, any kind of empathy, a connection, then I think they're doing a pretty good job. That's what it's really all about. Is me having truthful emotions, telling this story in a real raw, vulnerable way so that you feel something, whether it be happy or sad, or you're rooting for me, whatever it is. If an actor can do that, then I think that probably doing a pretty good job. If you're watching someone and you're cringing and you want to turn it off, you're laughing when you're not supposed to probably means they need to do a little bit more work.
Speaker 3:
39:34
So yeah, phil, I was waiting for her to say Glenn Powell, I would have lost it. I would have lost it.
Speaker 1:
39:40
I thought you were setting it up. I thought it was a lob.
Speaker 3:
39:42
I thought I was being set up. No, that's great though.
Speaker 2:
39:46
Yeah, we're big fans of how to Get Away with Murder here, did you?
Speaker 3:
39:50
ever finish.
Speaker 2:
39:51
How to Get Away with Murder. Eric, Did you guys ever finish that?
Speaker 3:
39:54
No.
Speaker 2:
39:54
No, it's just one of those TV shows that just once it stopped, so much was happening.
Speaker 3:
39:59
I just didn't have that. It wasn't a must watch at the time when I had dropped it, but I enjoyed it. It's one of those shows people definitely talk about, and I mean Viola Davis how to Get Away with Murder is one example of so many things that she's been in.
Speaker 2:
40:13
Annalise Keating is like one of my favorite television characters ever.
Speaker 3:
40:17
Yeah.
Speaker 2:
40:18
And she manipulated me for years.
Speaker 3:
40:20
Yes, it's very telling, like I was a student.
Speaker 2:
40:26
Yeah, I'm not going to lie, she kept me up. I was like what is Professor Dane? What is she talking about? Yeah, but no, she is fantastic. That example that she used being in Fences, which is actually a movie I haven't seen. I've seen bits and pieces of it, but I definitely need to check it out. Even the movies that like like when she returns in the Suicide Squad movies, right, like she's not the problem in the Suicide Squad, it's other things that are happening in the Suicide Squad. She's great in that role. I really enjoyed her in the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes as well, the Hunger Games movie that came out in the beginning of the year. So, yeah, fantastic. So definitely fans of her on our end. But, eric, before we transition into the games that I've prepared here this evening, before we transition into the games that I've prepared here this evening, did you have anything else you want to ask, rebecca? Before we head over there, yeah.
Speaker 3:
41:14
So, rebecca, kind of last question on a personal level, since we're going to transition to some games that will likely be themed, I'm very curious in this kind of world of media and entertainment, is there a genre that you kind of shift towards or have a preference of as an audience or viewer? So, phil, for example, he's your gangster movies, comedy, dinosaurs, and I'm on the other end of the spectrum, I'm anime, sci-fi and, like, war films. So like again, such a diverse group of movies and everyone has their kind of personal taste. What is your acquired taste when it comes to film or just anything in media and entertainment in general?
Speaker 1:
41:58
Honestly, it's all over the place. It would be as silly as like an old, like 90, 1991. Don't tell mom the Babysitter's Dead To like fences, like Phil was saying. Or one of my very favorite horror movies, hereditary. It's literally just a smorgasbord. It doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1:
42:32
I view movies and television. I just view every all media very differently. Um, now it's like I watch, you know, television, shows and movies, but I have this bad habit of just like focusing on the acting and I'm like, oh, I'm not even like watching the movie. Um, and then in more recent years, I've really found an interest in cinematography, just how things are framed and doing like forced perspectives and um, and I've done a little bit of, you know, videography myself and I, I I'm just like a fan of it. I'm like I know it's a skill and I'm not great at it, but I just really like learning about it. So sometimes I'll watch a movie and I'm like, oh man, I love the way they shot that, you know. I love the way that they were in the trunk and shot upwards, or you know. Or they did it through a peephole and then it, you know, went into a, a wide or you know. So anyway, to answer your question. It's all over the place from things that might be, you know, old and like.
Speaker 1:
43:26
Why are you still watching that? I just watched that, watched that movie, dave. Do you remember that movie the other night? Uh, kevin Kline. He had to pretend to be the president. It's so silly and cheesy but I still like it. Like I I got get little laughs from it. It just I watch. I think I watch films kind of like how other people watch films. Um, what mood am I in and what mood do I want to be in? So if I'm like, oh, I want to laugh, then yeah, I'll watch a comedy. I love all the like Anchorman and old school and you know those kinds of things. But then you know, I'll sit down and watch something that you know makes me cry or like a beef. On Netflix, that was a I thought that was a great series Breaking Bad, better Call Saul, like all those Game of Thrones. I, you know, it's just. I don't have any particular thing I'm super drawn to. I'm just drawn to like good stories, good acting and then something that can make me feel something.
Speaker 2:
44:27
So see, I I'm glad you're in my camp here, Because Eric won't understand that sometimes I'll watch a movie. So we use Letterboxd, so they'd use a 1 to 5 scale, so he doesn't understand that sometimes I'll watch a movie that's like a 2.5 out of 5 or whatever, but still is enjoyable to me. But I'll also watch some bad movies on purpose as well. So, like I've seen some bad movies this year because I also just like to enjoy, I like going to the movies when. I like going to that, like the actual movies, which I think is still a a really great time. But also I'll watch a film just because I'm curious if people are like, if people a lot of people were, you know were saying like, uh, the borderlands movie was really bad and I had a feeling it was going to be pretty bad, but I want to go see it because I wanted to see firsthand like man it is really, it is a really bad movie.
Speaker 2:
45:16
So so like I've watched 54 movies this year, um, and 33 new movies like movies that were just released in 2024, I'm trying to get to 50 new films in 2024. I've got last year I did what did I do last year 30. So I've already surpassed last year's amount. So because I'll just sit down and watch movies. I work from home so I do have time where I can put on a movie and, you know, sometimes I know there are ones that like I don't have to really pay attention to. But then you know, I'll just watch films that like have been in my backlog for the longest time. So Eric wants to sit down and watch a movie that he knows that will be guaranteed, bare minimum in his mind, a three and a half out of five, because he has a bunch of other. He has a bunch of other. We both have a lot of other.
Speaker 3:
46:03
You know hobbies. So I watched Real Steel for you and Lego Ninjago. Okay, I'd rather, I didn't want to watch lego ninjago. You, it was on the list, lego ninjago. You're telling me I added lego ninjago to the list you kept bringing up lego ninjago I'll find. I'll find the clip. I brought it up.
Speaker 2:
46:20
We just kept quoting it. I didn't want to watch the movie all right.
Speaker 3:
46:23
Well, I guess I'll just take that out. But you know we have two series on the podcast where we jump into shows or movies that we were really late on, and then also international films and kind of giving some of those films the highlight. That is very lacking even to this day, although that has definitely improved over the years. So finding the right amount of time to also consume like that other content has definitely been tough. I would say my threshold is like a three out of five. If a movie is objectively a three I consider to be watchable and recommendable. I'm kind of on board but I do look at kind of consensus and there are a couple of sources that I trust that lead me to that direction. So, like again, phil watched, borderlands, atlas, madam Web, a lot of films that objectively, without seeing it, I can speak confidently, most people think people watch NASCAR, like I.
Speaker 3:
47:20
Just like watching, yeah, and I'm sure there's something you can get from it. Right In my current state, not going to it's not going to be enough for me to consume it. When I have like so much on that watch list or queue that I'm itching to get to like I just started game of thrones and I'm in season two to make that eight season commitment, I cannot go watch borderlands in theaters like I just can't you know so it's, uh, it's.
Speaker 3:
47:47
It's an interesting dynamic, phil. I really liked rebecca's answer. I felt like you just twisted it to meet your own needs there, because I don't.
Speaker 2:
47:55
I don't think that works I don't think that was unacceptable. No, I don't think so.
Speaker 1:
47:58
I get what phil's saying, though I do think it is important to make your own decisions, however, and if you have the time, yeah for sure, watch it yourself and then come to the same conclusion that maybe somebody else came to, but if you don't have a lot of time, then I would say data. You know, a good amount of data is probably indicative of something being good or bad, and you know, if you, if you only have a certain amount of time to watch, then yeah, I get what you're saying. And you know, if you only have a certain amount of time to watch, then yeah, I get what you're saying. I'm only going to spend this time watching something that I know is going to be enjoyable and I'm going to get something out of you know, Sure.
Speaker 2:
48:40
Yeah, and some of these movies maybe you'll be surprised, as Eric mentioned which is Late to the Party, that's the series that we watch, movies that we were definitely very late on. We actually just watched the Top Gun movies for the first time this year. Two years ago was the first time we watched all the Indiana Jones movies, so these are things that we know are just bedrock of pop culture and for some reason, we just miss them. The one that is our most famous and unpopular take is we Did Not Enjoy the Shining, which I think is a tough watch for somebody in modern day, like we understand the cultural significance of the Shining and also maybe believe that. Well, at least in my camp, I think that I would probably enjoy the book more, but it was not something that we enjoyed. In what was it 2022 that we watched Eric?
Speaker 3:
49:30
So that's something and visually like, like if you're visually in cinematography wise, like you're talking about.
Speaker 3:
49:35
Stunning, like incredible yeah a lot, a lot to appreciate as a casual viewer, and I think me and phil are also not the biggest. Biggest. We are fans of horror, but we're not the biggest consumers of horror or that type of level of horror or whatever category you would categorize it as. But it was just again. It's not, and Phil knows this. When I'm locked into a movie it's hard to take me out of it or like I'm not the type of person that typically gets sleepy during a movie. Phil, we know literally three people, probably off the top of our heads, that sleep in the movie theater that they paid for to see a film. We're not those people, but I found myself just kind of losing interest as we go and I can also acknowledge the film's beautiful for its time and Jack Nicholson absolutely deserving of all of the praise. But it just didn't hit that feeling that I thought I'd get watching it or the praise that it constantly gets.
Speaker 3:
50:34
But that's a movie we wanted to take a risk on Cause again, people love it and we do acknowledge that you can love a movie and there can be at least somebody who has their own reasons for not liking it, and vice versa. It's that middle of the pack movies that Phil was referencing earlier, that I kind of like to stick around or not go below Cause. If a movie is really like just okay for most people, there's really not a good chance that I'm going to walk away loving it. So that's a. It's definitely an interesting, uh kind of dialogue, just because everybody has so many different perspectives that affect their kind of review of the film, which is really interesting. That's why everyone has such a different review. If it was all going to be the same, nobody would be doing it. So that kind of speaks to that.
Speaker 1:
51:21
Yeah, I think what you just said. I talk about this in class a lot, like where we use these terms like good and bad, or this was amazing, this sucked. These are subjective, right. Right, this is just our point of view, based on our own observations, and we're coming in to watch whatever it is like. This is like how we were raised, or life experiences, whatever's happening, right, and so I feel like who am I and who is everyone else to say this sucks or this is awesome?
Speaker 1:
51:51
I think the better thing to do is like view it and then say what you just did. I thought the acting was great, I thought Jack Nicholson was great, I thought this was beautiful, but it's just not for me. The story was a little slow, you know, I started falling asleep, but to just categorize something as a whole like sucking, to just categorize something as a whole like sucking, I feel like that's you're just, you know, lumping this whole thing into this bad category. And I think that shows like you can have an appreciation for certain things, because filmmaking has a ton of even television too, theater too lots of moving parts. You can find something good about it, and then something you know, something skill, and then something you say. I'm not really a fan of that.
Speaker 3:
52:37
Another great example was when Phil had the hot take that he didn't like, spirited Away, which is a classic studio-gaming film and the internet lost their mind.
Speaker 2:
52:47
That's why I'm not on TikTok, because people are still coming for me about Spirited Away.
Speaker 3:
52:52
Phil cannot hit us. So when the Boy in the Heron came out and he also didn't like that, mind you, that was his second Studio Ghibli film he had ever seen, so it's not like, again, a genre he actively consumes he had the same comments was like this is beautiful to look at. I can see the appeal. I just I'm starting to think that this type of film is not for me.
Speaker 2:
53:17
And the internet had different opinions.
Speaker 3:
53:19
Am I too dumb for these movies? And people are like yeah, that's what it is.
Speaker 2:
53:22
I was like well, I set myself up for that one.
Speaker 3:
53:23
I shouldn't have said that Whenever I'm in a bad mood, I'll go back to those videos and just look at the comments, because they really, they really.
Speaker 2:
53:29
that's why I don't go on tiktok so yeah, yeah, but yeah, there is like it's like you were saying, like there is that threshold of movie. Like I, I don't think it's the best movie of the year, but I really enjoyed, uh, like movies like abigail that came out this year. I thought abigail was a lot of fun. Trap that m night Shyamalan movie is it really a good movie? No, did I enjoy the hell out of Absolutely. I thought it was a lot of fun, but I think it does have a lot wrong with it in terms of maybe some of the dialogue. But I also now re-evaluating it, I'm pretty sure Night Shyamalan is in on the joke with us for Trap. So I would definitely go watch it again. But I know Eric won't watch Abigail or Trap or the Mean Girls musical, the movie. He's not going to watch anything like that.
Speaker 3:
54:11
I might watch Trap, but again it falls in that hole of am I going to go to the movies to see it?
Speaker 2:
54:17
Make that commitment you also have two more people to pay for. I mean, I have Liz, but she does. I've also taken Liz to two very bad movies this year and I've lost her trust. So I brought her to Argyle and Madam Web and. Trap and she had not a great time and she was like you cannot bring me to the movies anymore.
Speaker 3:
54:36
It's tough, but yeah, whenever you're consuming something you know again. Do I go see Trap in theaters? The answer is probably no. Based off of the data I've gathered and kind of making that decision, nobody is walking out of there saying it's a masterpiece, so either I'm going to be the one person that does 20 years from now.
Speaker 2:
54:52
hold on, it might be 20 years from now.
Speaker 3:
54:55
There's a very good chance I might like the movie less. And again, if I see a movie sitting at like that three, three and a half, that's dangerous territory for me because I have like a one point scale both ways. So at most I'm going to, if it's a three and a half or if it's a three, at most it'll probably be a four. For me At least it'll be a two. That might not be a risk I'm willing to take, and it's more likely to be a two. So that's my math logic that I've adopted, and then I'll say well, I'll wait until it comes out on streaming. Uh, by the time it comes out on streaming, where do I fit that in the category of other decisions I've made like that? And that's where it definitely gets tough.
Speaker 3:
55:34
Phil knows this. I don't think I've said this publicly. I don't ever do this, but it did happen literally last week or this week. Last Friday I bought tickets to go see Beetlejuice Beetlejuice weeks in advance because my son wanted to see the movie. I forgot. I forgot Weeks in advance. Because my son wanted to see the movie, I forgot, I forgot Showtime passed. And for three tickets that's a loan, basically.
Speaker 3:
55:57
So I'm not going to pay three tickets again, and it was already a movie I was only going to see because my son really wanted to see it. I was never a big Beetlejuice guy. See the appeal, I like it, but do I love it that I have to see the sequel in theaters? No, so there I made a decision where I could have just repaid tickets, gone to see it. But now I've said, well, that window closed. That rarely ever happens. It wasn't meant to be. When will I watch it? Probably soon, cause my son wants to see it. But again, another movie that could have happened to. I could have completely forgotten about it. It and more than likely I would have never bought the ticket in the first place. So it's uh, it's just such, such interesting dialogue on how we all make those decisions and what that end result will be.
Speaker 2:
56:44
yeah, yeah, we all spend our time differently. Uh, eric, uh, like, I watched a 30 minute video, eric, on just the uh, the release of the playstation 5 pro and just information. I don't necessarily need, but I was interested in it and I, uh, I watched that right before we we logged on here. So we all spent our time differently, but I'll do the same 30 minutes on tiktok learning about like yeah, I'll watch an eighth of a movie.
Speaker 3:
57:11
I've seen an eighth of Ted Lasso Phil.
Speaker 2:
57:12
Nope, you have not.
Speaker 3:
57:14
I also you know. I also know how to like make eggs in a dryer. I don't know Some type of life hack. So much useless shit, and then Phil will say stuff like that. It's really upsetting. Let's just get to the games, phil, because I'm getting negative.
Speaker 2:
57:29
I did watch somebody put together a bioactive terrarium for a leopard gecko yesterday.
Speaker 3:
57:35
That was actually pretty fascinating.
Speaker 2:
57:36
It feels like you said the same thing I just said Well, I have a leopard gecko at least, so you're never going to cook eggs in a I have eggs and a dryer.
Speaker 2:
57:45
Alright. Well, let's move over to our game. So well, let me pull this up here. Eric, I thought I had figured out because you know, remember, whenever I present, it would only give me the option of like full screen, for whatever reason, and I don't know what's going on, but I'm just gonna share it this way, so give me just a moment, okay and there's two games here this evening Good.
Speaker 3:
58:11
And. Rebecca got her glasses. Because I was going to offer glasses on, or I'll take mine off too, and then neither of us can see, so we can even it out.
Speaker 1:
58:21
It's been just one big blur.
Speaker 3:
58:24
It's been a rough hour, I'm sure I'm sorry, all right.
Speaker 2:
58:27

Speaker 3:
58:32
Yeah, but you have it just in Canva.
Speaker 2:
58:37
Yeah, because I want to be able to see y'all as well. Okay, I can make it a little bit larger.
Speaker 3:
58:44
Yeah, I think you can't go full screen at all like through Canva there.
Speaker 2:
58:48
I can, but then it covers up y'all as well. But can you guys? Then it covers up y'all as well. So, um, but it's uh yeah, but can you guys see it alright?

Simply chime in with a guess if you think you know the answer. Here's an example. Here's a lion and a crown, lion King. Whoever gets the most correct wins. And obviously, most importantly, have fun. I think I only have five, if I remember correctly. No, there might be six, we'll find out here shortly.
Speaker 3:
59:24
Phil knows I'm really bad at these, so this is not appreciated.
Speaker 1:
59:28
It's going to be great, I'm going to be terrible.
Speaker 2:
59:33
I'm going to be terrible, I'm so slow. Alright, here we go, you guys ready and then wait? Do we just say our answer out loud yeah, you can just shout it out it's the Wild West, out here.
Speaker 1:
59:44
It's fine.

Madam Spider-Man.
Speaker 2:
59:59
There we go First one is. Spider-man.
Speaker 3:
1:00:01
That took me to my Madam Web. So long I saw the spider.
Speaker 2:
1:00:04
I have to guess, madam Web, before Spider-Man is concerning. But that's okay. Crazy, all right, we're going to treat this like whose line is it anyway? So 50 points to Rebecca?
Speaker 3:
1:00:14
Oh no, oh no, a bajillion points is coming, I know it.

Speaker 1:
1:00:23
Next one oh.
Speaker 2:
1:00:29
Shoot. It's like really twisted.
Speaker 3:
1:00:34
I don't know what that first thing is.
Speaker 2:
1:00:35
I wanted to yell out Twisters and then I saw the lion Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 1:
1:00:39
I saw the lion and the monkey and I froze. I was like there's no lion or monkey in Twisters.
Speaker 2:
1:00:45
In Twister is there one in the first Twister, I don't know that's what I started thinking about.
Speaker 3:
1:00:51
And then I got confused and I was like the Lion King had a tornado, alright, I don't know.
Speaker 2:
1:00:53
That's what I started thinking about. And then I got confused and I was like the Lion King had a tornado. No, All right. 100 points to Rebecca Great job.
Speaker 3:
1:01:01
This does not feel good being on this side.
Speaker 2:
1:01:04

Yeah, smart monkeys. Great job, eric. Five points.
Speaker 3:
1:01:26
I missed the sequel, like the smart apes.
Speaker 1:
1:01:33

Speaker 2:
1:01:35
All right here Next one, oh uh, interstellar, Ooh that was close Both y'all, both y'all got it there. All award, all award 25 points to each of you, but Eric's is worth a little bit less somehow, Uh 24, 26.
Speaker 3:
1:01:49
Yeah, Okay, have fun counting that up.
Speaker 2:
1:01:53
It's all sure I got it, oh God.
Speaker 3:
1:01:57
I don't think you gave me points for the first one.
Speaker 2:
1:01:58
All right, here we go. Next one. Uh-oh, this is probably the hardest one. This is the last one.
Speaker 3:
1:02:03
Yeah, there's like 70 of them, oh, 70 emojis.
Speaker 1:
1:02:09
Can you tell us what an emoji is Sure? What Can you tell us what an emoji is Sure? What's that little swirly thing?
Speaker 2:
1:02:16
Well, I mean it is a swirly thing, so there's not really. It does tie into the movie. This isn't centered. It's bothering. Whoa, what just happened. What?
Speaker 3:
1:02:26
It's still on.
Speaker 2:
1:02:27
Oh, no, okay, never mind. Okay, I thought the Okay, yeah, yeah this one's definitely the hardest one, so yeah, we have the world, we have the swirl, we have the eye and then we have like a mother and a daughter.
Speaker 1:
1:02:38
Oh, that's, a Okay. I definitely thought that was like a.
Speaker 3:
1:02:42
I thought it was a couple, yeah, or I thought it was a grandchild and grandma.
Speaker 2:
1:02:46
Mm-hmm, you couldn the same age. That's a little suspect. These are the emojis that were given to me. I didn't want to use, like really obvious ones that are available in canva, um, and then think of this like clothes that's clothes. I thought that was shopping yeah, yeah, hindsight, I think, uh, this one could have been done a little bit better, it it was.
Speaker 1:
1:03:12
I don't know.
Speaker 3:
1:03:13
Phil, this one's tough You're going to have to give us a hint.
Speaker 2:
1:03:17
I feel like. Let's see, this is an Academy Award winner. Okay, I don't want to give me an actor or actress, because that will give it away. Okay, this is an Academy Award winner, multiple Academy Award winners. It is a more recent movie.
Speaker 1:
1:03:32
I feel like the audience knows and they're like y'all are so dumb.
Speaker 3:
1:03:37
That may happen, that actually.
Speaker 1:
1:03:39
Still no idea. Let's see. Try to think of a guess Can you add an emoji to it?
Speaker 3:
1:03:47
Can you change the emojis completely?
Speaker 2:
1:03:50
I'm trying to think of something that's not going to give it away. One of the actors or actresses that won the award had been away for a very long time.
Speaker 3:
1:04:00
And this is a recent movie. You said that won an Academy Award.
Speaker 2:
1:04:04
Yep.
Speaker 1:
1:04:05
Goodness, recent Okay.
Speaker 3:
1:04:11
I'm drawing a blank Mother, son sea.
Speaker 1:
1:04:14
I was going to say Forrest Gump, but it's not new. Does that kind of look like Sally Field? I don't know.
Speaker 3:
1:04:24
Honestly, at this point, I think we're seeing what we want to see. Okay. Let me do Is this another Planet of the Apes, but with just people.
Speaker 2:
1:04:33
No, no, no no Planet of the People Shopping. Let me think of another.
Speaker 1:
1:04:39
Oh wait, wait, wait. Is it Twister 2? No, Ah okay.
Speaker 3:
1:04:46
That swirling's messing me up.
Speaker 1:
1:04:49
Yeah.
Speaker 2:
1:04:50
All right, one of the more. Oh damn, I probably should have put that in as far as an emoji. One of the more well-known scenes from this movie features two inanimate objects.
Speaker 3:
1:05:07
You're a fucking inanimate object.
Speaker 2:
1:05:10
You're an inanimate object, what? All right, I'll give another clue here. It is a multiverse movie.
Speaker 3:
1:05:22
Oh my God, Everything everywhere all at once, Phil, no shot, no shot.
Speaker 1:
1:05:32
You know what's crazy? I just saw an audition tape from this movie today, this morning, and I still yeah, still don't know Whose was it. No clue, I forgot the character's name. I sent it to myself, though, let me see, I'll tell you really really fast it was. Where is she where?
Speaker 3:
1:05:55
stephanie soup I think it was the daughter yep yeah so you also only had one job to spell answer correctly and you messed that up asner. I don't know. I just noticed.
Speaker 2:
1:06:07
I'm not gonna scroll up. You know what we'll find out but yeah, that was the last one great job up. You know what We'll find out, but yeah, that was the last one Great job.
Speaker 1:
1:06:16
I don't know what the score was, but Eric lost.
Speaker 2:
1:06:26
I'm just going to give my points to Eric for having to put up with your score. That's not how the record books will remember it, but that's okay. All right, eric, and the next game we'll be playing this is a game you're familiar with is go ahead, name them uh, movie edition. So this is a really, really fun one. Uh, rebecca, this is one we also stole from a fellow podcaster. We steal most of our games from friendly neighborhood gamers.
Speaker 3:
1:06:45
Shout out to we've been making a lot of them.
Speaker 2:
1:06:47
I don't want to hear that yeah, that's true, but this one specifically is associated our best ones, we steal yeah.
Speaker 2:
1:06:56
So, uh, rebecca, this game is called go ahead, name them. So how we play is each round there will be a category. I will present an actor or a movie series each round that have a certain amount of correct answers. So, uh, the object of the game is how many can you name? So you'll wage the number of answers you believe you can guess correctly? So you'll wage the number of answers you believe you can guess correctly, and if you feel like your opponent cannot accurately list the number of answers, you can challenge. I spelled challenge wrong. I was working on. I've been sick the last few days and actually there we go and you can challenge them to name them. So here is an example there are seven live action transformers films. How many can you name? So, eric, I'll, I'll give it to you first. How many of the transformers movies do you think you can name?
Speaker 3:
1:07:49
name. Um, I could probably name three, okay.
Speaker 2:
1:07:55
Rebecca, do you think you can name four or do you want to challenge him to name the three?
Speaker 1:
1:08:01
Uh, I don't think I can name any Transformers one.
Speaker 2:
1:08:07
Alright, so you want to challenge Eric to have him name three.
Speaker 1:
1:08:11
Uh, and then that will be it. I just challenge him. Yeah, this one doesn't count, this is just an example. So you want to challenge Eric to have him name three, and then that will be it. I just challenged him.
Speaker 2:
1:08:15
Yeah, this one doesn't count. This is just an example, so you can see how the game goes, yeah, all right. Eric, go ahead and name them.
Speaker 3:
1:08:23
I actually probably could have named more Dark Side of the Moon and Bumblebee. Yeah Okay, revenge of the Fallen is the third one. Right, good call. Yeah Okay, revenge of the Fallen is the third one right.
Speaker 2:
1:08:32
So the answers would be Revenge of the Fallen Dark of the Moon, age of Extinction, the Last Knight, bumblebee, rise of Beast. I probably could have gotten four of these.
Speaker 1:
1:08:43
But technically if I just had said Transformers, transformers, transformers.
Speaker 3:
1:08:48
No.
Speaker 2:
1:08:50
No, no, transformers 1, 2, 3, 4. But yeah, since you challenged me.
Speaker 3:
1:08:56
that gave me the opportunity to actually get points, Whereas if you know more Gotcha.
Speaker 1:
1:09:01
Okay, I think I'm going to suck at this, but we'll see.
Speaker 2:
1:09:06
We will see. Give me just a moment here. Let me pull up the first one. Okay, cool, all right, let Let me pull the first one. Okay, cool, all right, let's go to the first one. Question one Denzel Washington has been nominated for nine Academy Awards. How many of those films can you name, rebecca? I'll give it to you first.

Speaker 2:
1:09:29

1:10:10
I think he's got a name. How many does he have to name Three?
Speaker 2:
1:10:15
So he has three, so do you think you can do four?
Speaker 1:
1:10:18

Speaker 2:
1:10:20
Okay, I don't think I can do four. All right, eric, let's name him, give us three.
Speaker 3:
1:10:24

Speaker 2:
1:10:37
No, oh there we go. That's unfortunate.
Speaker 3:
1:10:41
Yeah, and then I would have said man on Fire as the third one. I don't know that that one's on there either.
Speaker 2:
1:10:45

Speaker 2:
1:11:19
Yeah, he won for Flight, I believe. Oh, that was a great job. Oh, no, he was just nominated, no he did great.
Speaker 3:
1:11:24
Yeah, I didn't know, it was that acclaimed.
Speaker 2:
1:11:26

Crazy gets Many live action. Cinderella's no clue.
Speaker 1:

you were thinking of Eric. I don't know if no, brandy Brandy is the is the best Cinderella. Drew Barrymore, julie Andrews, leslie Carson, mary Pickford I'm not gonna question you on this, but this seems, I feel like this is ridiculous. There's no way this is true you can look it up.
Speaker 2:
1:13:47
That's, that's totally fine. I I've made sure because I I was not familiar with some of these names.
Speaker 1:
1:13:52
It's like its own genre.
Speaker 3:
1:13:53
Yep, if you would have said more than three, I would have called you a liar. Oh, Camilla Cabello, I know which one that was.

1:15:06
Nice, all right, solid. Wow. Those would have been the five that I. You were getting to the point where it's like uh, oh, after that it's like I would have had to think really hard about, about Luke Evans there. Jimen Honsu is probably the other one that maybe you would know of yeah, but not my name. I didn't even remember Idris Elba yeah, remember, he's in Hobbs and Shaw yeah, I literally did not remember.

Speaker 2:
1:19:02
Yeah, no, jaws. Obviously, a lot of Marvel movies, a lot of the Lord of the Rings movies are on here. Yep, like I said, Minions.
Speaker 1:
1:19:11
Good job there here Like I said Minions.
Speaker 2:
1:19:12
Good job, there you go. Oh, the live action, beauty and the Beast. Alright, this is the last one. I believe it's 2-2. Oh, no, there's two more, I'm just kidding, alright, next one as of January 20. No, this is the last one, just kidding. As of January 2024, there are 30 TV shows that have over 68 Emmy nominations. How many can you name, eric? I'll throw it to you first, since you just just won. So this is Emmy nominations and I assume these are not like daytime and like the evening Emmys, whatever that's called TV shows with the most Emmy nominations ever per this entertainment tonight. Entertainment Weekly.
Speaker 3:
1:19:53
Off the top of my head, maybe three Right now.
Speaker 2:
1:19:57
Yeah, Rebecca, do you think you can do four?
Speaker 1:
1:20:00
30 television shows with over 68.
Speaker 2:
1:20:06
These are just nominations.
Speaker 1:
1:20:08
I can do four. I'll try.
Speaker 2:
1:20:10
Eric, do you think you can do five?
Speaker 3:
1:20:12
Not off the top of my head, no, Name them yeah. Alright, Rebecca, give do four, I'll try. Eric, do you think you can do five? Not off the top of my head, no Name them yeah.
Speaker 2:
1:20:16
All right, Rebecca, give me four.
Speaker 1:
1:20:18
Okay, I'm going to say Seinfeld. Okay, shoot. Why am I blanking the Office? No, why am I blanking the office? No, no.
Speaker 2:
1:20:37
Let me double check, but I don't believe that was on here when I looked earlier. No, no office. Do you want to give a couple more guesses?
Speaker 1:
1:20:48
Yeah sure, what about Breaking Bad?
Speaker 2:
1:20:52
Breaking Bad, surprisingly, was not on here. I'm wondering if maybe because it wasn't around long enough or Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones is on here okay, man, what's popular television?
Speaker 1:
1:21:08
it's a it's like of all time. Right, it's all time.
Speaker 2:
1:21:12
I definitely would have guessed the Office.
Speaker 1:
1:21:14
Modern Family.
Speaker 2:
1:21:15
Modern Family is on here.
Speaker 1:
1:21:17
Okay.
Speaker 2:
1:21:18
Yeah, yeah, no Office. That's crazy. I guess towards the end there, like the second half there, it kind of fell off a little bit in terms of popularity.
Speaker 1:
1:21:28
What about Sopranos?
Speaker 2:
1:21:31
Sopranos Yep, Sopranos is on here as well. So, yeah, you did miss the Office, but you still named four, and Eric didn't think he could do two.
Speaker 3:
1:21:41
Breaking Bad was one of them. Game of Thrones, breaking Bad, yeah, breaking Bad was a good guess, yeah, number one is SNL, I believe.
Speaker 1:
1:21:48
Oh, okay.
Speaker 2:
1:21:49
Yeah, number one is SNL, and it's crazy. Snl has 314 and the next is game of Thrones with 159.
Speaker 2:
1:21:59
So it's like not even really cool. Obviously, snl been on forever. Yeah, with 124 nominations, is ER. So ER was, uh, was around for a while dancing with the stars. Shows like that are on here. Um, I think I put yeah, was around for a while Dancing with the Stars. Shows like that are on here. I think I put yeah, like the Amazing Race, the Voiced, you know shows that have been on, the shows that like dominate the you know late night game show or whatever like that. So yeah, but that was the last one. Great job for both contestants. Round of applause.
Speaker 3:
