It’s the other way around. You don’t realize how ridiculous the Scottish are until you dress them up as Batman. 😝 (Drinker gets a pass for being the best damn Scottish drunkard I know of.)
Yep, I worked in the support side of publishing for a few years, 75% of the staff were female, 90% of the directing editors were female, and frankly it was an anti man environment. In the 5 or so years I was there if a new role came up in the creative side of the business it was without fail given to a woman.
@@aikighost....creative? Woman? The only creativity I've ever experienced in women was the clever way they manipulated me! Then...I got "creative" and hired a good ol lawyer,!!! Now , I'm happy, single, and well off! The only thing fucking me over now, is my Porsche mechanic! 😮
22:09 When I sent my second novel off to my agent she wrote back and pointed out that one of the characters was redundant - and he'd been in it from chapter two. I was forced to agree with her so I went back to chapter two and rewrote the whole book to remove that character and to give all his dialogue and actions to someone else (usually several someone elses). And in the end I was glad because it made the book so much better. A good agent is your best friend. (PS This was in the days before computers, so I literally re-wrote the thing, page by page.)
A deep conversation about the education system was not what I expected from this Halloween special. As someone who has just graduated from school, I can confirm that all of it is true.

Chat GPT’s verdict: That’s a great matchup! Let’s break down the strengths and weaknesses of each to see who might come out on top. The T-800 (Terminator) Strengths: 1. Durability and Endurance: Made of a hyperalloy endoskeleton, the T-800 is incredibly tough and difficult to destroy. It can withstand bullets, explosions, and extreme temperatures. 2. Strength: The T-800 possesses superhuman strength, easily overpowering most human opponents and even some machines. 3. Immunity to Infection: Being a machine, it’s immune to disease, parasitic infection, and, likely, any biological manipulation by The Thing. 4. Combat Prowess and Intelligence: Programmed for combat and strategic thinking, the T-800 would fight The Thing efficiently, identifying threats and adapting quickly. 5. Weapons: Depending on the scenario, the T-800 may have access to firearms or other advanced weaponry that could help in combating The Thing. Weaknesses: 1. Limited Flexibility: The T-800 is not invincible and can be damaged. Critical hits to its power source or CPU could disable it. 2. Limited Sensory Capabilities: While it has infrared and optical sensors, it might struggle to detect The Thing if it’s in disguise. The Thing (John Carpenter’s “The Thing”) Strengths: 1. Shape-Shifting and Assimilation: The Thing can mimic and assimilate any biological lifeform, copying appearances and behaviors with perfect accuracy. 2. Extreme Resilience: Every cell of The Thing is alive and independent, meaning it can survive dismemberment and can even regenerate from small parts. Destroying it entirely requires fire or other intense heat. 3. Deception and Ambush: The Thing often relies on blending in with its surroundings to ambush its victims, which it might attempt with the T-800. Weaknesses: 1. Vulnerability to Fire: Fire, plasma, and other forms of extreme heat are highly effective against The Thing, as it’s been shown to burn easily. 2. Lack of Intelligence in Direct Combat: While cunning, The Thing isn’t highly skilled in open combat; it relies more on stealth and manipulation. The Battle In a direct confrontation, the T-800’s durability would give it an edge, especially with firearms or flamethrowers (if it has them). Since The Thing relies on biological organisms for its mimicry and infection, it would struggle to assimilate the machine. The T-800 would likely identify it as a threat once it reveals itself or exhibits strange behavior. If The Thing tried to attack by brute force, the T-800 would likely overpower it physically. Additionally, the T-800’s experience and programming in exterminating organic threats mean it might identify fire as an effective weapon, potentially targeting The Thing’s regenerative tissue with intense heat or flamethrowers. Verdict In most scenarios, the T-800 would probably win a direct fight due to its durability, strength, and immunity to assimilation. However, The Thing could still pose a serious threat if it managed to ambush the T-800 or disable it through subterfuge. In a pure combat scenario, though, the T-800’s advantages suggest it would eventually triumph by either neutralizing or incinerating The Thing’s cells.
I’m 38, as a teacher, I agree with most of this. But you underestimate how little power teacher how nowadays…😢 You can’t discipline anyone, because that’s bullying. All you can do is to write some note to the office which does nothing. After a test I can’t even tell the grades, because of “privacy policy”. I have to call each individual student and show them their grade. And they can’t be ordered by the scores “because it is easy for students to figure out each other’s grades”… I had a student yelled at me when I scolded him for not working during the class project. I left that schools, kids there were horrible. And teachers would get no support from the school. That little Hitler of a director department would scold you “how you can’t control the class”. Bitch please… how am I to do it when they know I have no power to punish them at all and that grades don’t matter, because I HAVE to give them minimum passing grade or I’ll get fired…
The thing about the Joker giving the triggers to blow the other boat up is you don't REALLY know which boat would've blown. It could have been the triggers were linked to the only the one it was on, or to both. It's not an unreasonable assumption, given Joker's methods in the rest of the film. That rashness to pull the trigger, even if justified, may be what Joker was counting on to have the innocent people kill themselves. Edit: If the idea is that the people onboard don't have the context to consider that, I understand that thinking, but it would still be reasonable for them not to just take the words of Joker as absolute facts of the situation.
Yeah I always suspected that the boats got the trigger to their own bombs. Just like how Joker misdirected Batman by swapping addresses for Rachael and Harvey. I hadn't actually considered that each of the triggers would blow both though, I could see that.
9:27 - "We already know that the world would be terrible if we let the criminals run amuck" Well - you *say* that: but then you look at literally every liberal city in the United States where they did exactly that, and were scratching their heads at why crime was going up.
It depends on your definition of "criminal" as well. Just because someone is supposedly elected and can ensure that whatever corrupt crap they engage in is either re-framed by the media apparatus, memory-holed out of the public consciousness, protected by mass cencorship, or simply redefined as "legal" doesn't make them any less of a criminal IMO. I think that criminals have been running amock in our governments for decades, and we're really just beginning to truly see the results now.
I was on candy duty so I missed this one! On that note... this is the first time in years that I've lived in a trick or treat neighborhood; When did kids stop saying trick or treat?!

No trick or treat, no thank you's, no excitement to show off their costumes... when did this become the norm?

Despite the cat hating, I think you may have missed the point… maybe. At least in my opinion, she rescues the cat because it’s the only other original crew member alive, almost like clinging onto her own sanity and as a catalyst to her own survival she makes sure she can at least save someone and not give up. It’s also an early nod to her maternal instinct, explored later with newt etc
To me it honestly doesn't even need to be that complicated (which isn't to say that it's a bad argument). To me it's a simple matter of caring for a loved one, whether human OR animal. If I'm on a ship that's going to explode I'm not just going to let my cat die and say "ah well, sucks but it's not an actual crew member".
This is a good take - never thought about it that deeply before. Idk why all the cat hate - dogs stink to high hell and wouldn't be able to restrain themselves from barking so would get eaten by the xenomorph before any of the other crew members.
Thanks for dressing up for us, Drinker and Gary - you guys made Halloween extra festive. Drinker looked like a werewolf who ate Batman and then used him as a skin suit. I say that as a goof, and yet he probably likes that image. And, I love Gary's hippie costume, made me laugh out loud at the first sight of him. Well done, Gary, well done. I once went to a Halloween party dressed as a hippie peace activist - except I meant it. I don't watch Gary enough to know, but I think he does care about peace. Anyway, the only thing I remember about that Halloween party when I was a peacenik, which was at a club, was this absolutely gorgeous couple - like really breathtakingly beautiful people, who came dressed as Pebbles and Bamn-Bamm. You just couldn't help but stare at these two. Anyway, they stood right in the center of the dance floor and then just looked around to see who was looking at them. Neither one of them said anything nor even looked at the other. And I remember thinking, oh my God, how boring and shallow and dumb they looked - so vain they didn't even appreciate the stunning partner standing right in front of them. Clearly, they didn't have a thought in their stupid heads and they certainly didn't look like they were even enjoying themselves. Ugg! P.S. Gary needs a sign that says 'Make Love! Not War!' I think he could get behind that - oops, that sounded dirty. Sorry, UA-cam.
Xenomorphs versus Death Angels; Xenomorphs tend to be rather intelligent. A small group of them did canonically sacrifice one of their number so they could use its acid blood to advance their goal... I can see them sacrificing one of themselves or part of themselves, to weaken the Angel to cover them in acid.
After watching this last night, I got the overwhelming urge to watch The Thing again and to my complete surprise, I realized about 20 mins I had somehow never actually seen the entire movie before. (or I was so young when I did, I literally couldn't remember any of it) I've seen a ton of gifs/clips of the practical effects and whatnot, and I knew what the movie was about, but it was more or less my first time watching it. Great freaking movie man and those special effects hold up incredibly well.
The problem with education is that parents hand over their children to be education to schools. Parents should never stop being involved. My pops was a teacher and coach for nigh 40 years and the best students he had were those whose parents were heavily involved. I see it even with my own special education clients.
Pazuzu is less interested in doing physical harm than spiritual and psychological. Also, in the actual mythology of ancient Mesopotamia his function was literally to combat other evil spirits.
I love that you guys talked about writing. I started off 100% pantser. I like to say pantsing is how my first book became a trilogy. Now I use a basic outline to keep me on track but leave enough room to improvise a bit.
17:20 Echo, as an American Rugby player our favorite game to play is what if NFL players were ruggers. Putting the average nfl D tackle at Prop would break world rugby, and our top tight ends at Eight Man!? Forget about it, we'd never lose a world cup 😂
Surprised to see this up so soon, but very glad to see it! I hope you all had a great Halloween. Thanks for a pretty good Open Bar, though I didn't agree with everything. That's ok 😊 Great costume, Drinker!
Regarding Romulus. The movie is moot. The Nostromo blew up with not one but three nuclear explosions. The ship is reduced to atoms, there is no way they can find pieces of is floating around in space, and even if there were, they would be far away from the point of the explosion, that's how space works. Same goes for the alien that Ripley shot out of the escape ship, it wouldn't be floating around at the same spot.
Going with the final battle, the T800 vs the thing, the T800 will win. Going with the logic given in an empty room the T800 only needs to detonate it’s power cells which are both nuclear ( T3, T4) and it does have two, causing mini nuclear detonations which would generate enough heat to to vaporize the thing. In a city environment after physical attacks, bladed attacks, and standard ammunition attacks fail the T800 would still win because it would move up to heavy ordnance ( thermite, napalm, incendiary) . T800 wins, it’s just a matter of time and resources ( military bases/equipment, Walmarts, sporting goods stores)
If the t 800 and The Thing were in that scenario (in a room with nothing) Remember, he has that nuclear powered core in T3 that could make a small nuclear explosion. Which would murder The Thing. Not sure if it would be a stalemate.
I wish more super chats would ask fun or interesting questions of the panel instead of the 90% "Oh nice show you've got here, how can I make it about me."
Yep, and people who want to pay for free advertising. Sure, they can spend their money how they want, but it has the opposite effect on me and makes me think whatever they've written/created isn't worth checking out due to the blatant desperation. Just because something isn't woke, doesn't make it good. And all the life stories/social interest stuff make me break out the tiny violins. We all have shit to deal with, no need to splurge it all over someone else's livestream that has nothing to due to with you or your experiences, no matter how hard or tragic.
Ohh, imagine the Predator thinking he's killed a Thing copying a human and then when he peels out the skull and spine it wheels around and starts attacking him. There's something nightmare fuel right there.
Remember how bone and muscle is stronger than steel ounce for ounce? Why cant the thing just get inside the massive gaping holes in the terminator and just... expand and rip the weaker metal apart
No, Drinker, just look at Chinese football team. They love football, they've passion, they got all the money, resources and a huge population. Yet, their football is terrible and beyond redemption.
The American team can get better but it'll never be able to compete against a Germany, Brazil, France Argentina etc etc. Same with the mls and the Saudi league, moneys being pumped in and it'll pick up a little but they're not gonna be anywhere near Premier league or la liga or serie a.
Erm. The Thing built a space craft for days. So it can out-build a T-800. Pazuzu (a demon) is possessing bodies to control. The Thing is, essentially, a lot of bodies. In one. It can separate itself in order to try to run away. But killing the host without exorcism means the demon will just jump in its new form. So Pazuzu wins. The entire schmoz is a close one between Jason and a xenomorph... where Jason wins, because regeneration and also Uber Jason exists. The end.
For the battles you should have done blank room (combat power), house (ingenuity) and forest (stealth) since some specialise in certain enviroments and have particular strengths and weaknesses.
Disparu: it's part of being an adult to learn what you were taught as a kid is wrong. Also Disparu: kids believe what their parents tell them because they evolved from monkeys. Guess that's a new tactic to use on my daughters to let them know that they'll never reach their next supposed evolutionary jump unless they learn to listen
When I got my MA, I realized I wasn't ready to go into teaching. So, I spent eight years in business and industry before I thought of getting a teaching position in a college. I learned so much and was glad I made the wise decision to do so. I was a better teacher for it. Any university or college is going to have teachers who are clueless about real life. I personally don't think anyone should go to college before they are twenty or twenty-one. The best students I've had are the ones coming out of a dead-end job or getting out of the military; they are the best students. They know why they are in college and have a goal. They understand following directions and keeping the smart alec out of their attitudes. But nowadays with all the woke crap going on, I paraphrase Davy Crockett: "The universities and colleges can go to hell. I am going to Texas."
That Poltergeist discussion did my head in. You guys attached way to much to the name Poltergeist. This entity takes a little girl into another realm and the medium says "she is with the beast" this is clearly something far more dangerous and powerful than just a ghost moving things around.
0:48 😂.. this made me lose it! "WELLL!" then bam! MauLer's hilarious laughter..and dude I tell you what, Drinker's blended in so well with the Open Bar background title card that it literally looks like a dwarf that's just perpetually holding a bottle! (before he opens the night's panel) 🤣
Pazuzu vs The Thing. I've not seen an Exorcist film, but my money is on the demon. Souls are real in the Exorcist universe, but does that even matter? The Thing is still life and I reckon any imitation could be possessed. I can see the argument against it, but that's who I'd think win. As for The Thing vs the T-800, yes, hands-down, the T-800 wins. The Thing cannot assimilate a machine, and it wouldn't have time to grow anything that could damage it, if we go with the blank room arena. As much as I love The Thing, I can't see it winning those two scenarios.
Fire doesn't kill the Thing anyway, even if the T800 could make it. The body they bring back is already roasted with kerosene and it comes right on back from the table like its nothing but a boo boo. The only movie 'monster' I can think of which might have a chance against the Thing is Andromeda, if it adapted to consume it on a molecular level as it does even with polymers.
They clearly didn't have an anatomy class in primary school... the thing could just use the little bit of flesh on the terminator, liquefy to get inside the components, then turn to muscle and bone to do the extremely minimal amount of damage needed to break a computer
28:30 This is why i don't see things changing. This discussion has been had many times over the previous decades. You can find archives of talk radio and books from the 70s and 80s making the same complaint about the education system.

I say that as a goof, and yet he probably likes that image. And, I love Gary's hippie costume, made me laugh out loud at the first sight of him. Well done, Gary, well done. I once went to a Halloween party dressed as a hippie peace activist - except I meant it. I don't watch Gary enough to know, but I think he does care about peace. Anyway, the only thing I remember about that Halloween party when I was a peacenik, which was at a club, was this absolutely gorgeous couple - like really breathtakingly beautiful people, who came dressed as Pebbles and Bamn-Bamm. You just couldn't help but stare at these two. Anyway, they stood right in the center of the dance floor and then just looked around to see who was looking at them. Neither one of them said anything nor even looked at the other. And I remember thinking, oh my God, how boring and shallow and dumb they looked - so vain they didn't even appreciate the stunning partner standing right in front of them. Clearly, they didn't have a thought in their stupid heads and they certainly didn't look like they were even enjoying themselves. Ugg! P.S. Gary needs a sign that says 'Make Love! Not War!' I think he could get behind that - oops, that sounded dirty. Sorry, UA-cam.
Whatever is happening, you bet your asses I'm saving the cat
Absolutely, and I’m 100% leaving Gary behind for the xenomorph to play with just because he hates cats.
Nah that cats got nine lives and is a sly little bastard, he'll be fine.
Xenomorphs versus Death Angels; Xenomorphs tend to be rather intelligent. A small group of them did canonically sacrifice one of their number so they could use its acid blood to advance their goal... I can see them sacrificing one of themselves or part of themselves, to weaken the Angel to cover them in acid.
After watching this last night, I got the overwhelming urge to watch The Thing again and to my complete surprise, I realized about 20 mins I had somehow never actually seen the entire movie before. (or I was so young when I did, I literally couldn't remember any of it) I've seen a ton of gifs/clips of the practical effects and whatnot, and I knew what the movie was about, but it was more or less my first time watching it.
Great freaking movie man and those special effects hold up incredibly well.
The problem with education is that parents hand over their children to be education to schools. Parents should never stop being involved. My pops was a teacher and coach for nigh 40 years and the best students he had were those whose parents were heavily involved. I see it even with my own special education clients.
The Alien Books quite successfully retcon Alien 3
Love the 1v1 bracketing/best of, but I would also love an additional royal rumble scenario at the end.
Cheers to the Drinker!!
Pazuzu is less interested in doing physical harm than spiritual and psychological.
Also, in the actual mythology of ancient Mesopotamia his function was literally to combat other evil spirits.
Favourite quote of the show for me goes to Gary for "and then it went woke and I thought ...fuck it!"
Nothing beats a Tusken Raider mask when it comes to uncomfortably hot. Airflow sucks as well.
I love that you guys talked about writing. I started off 100% pantser. I like to say pantsing is how my first book became a trilogy. Now I use a basic outline to keep me on track but leave enough room to improvise a bit.
2:45 looks like Batfleck after LASIK 😂😂😂😂😂
Ngl, based on that last open bar I thought Drinker was gonna do Zombie makeup. The Batman outfit is leagues funnier
The song I’ve discovered and liked ever since is Burning in The Third Degree from the first Terminator, great song
17:20 Echo, as an American Rugby player our favorite game to play is what if NFL players were ruggers. Putting the average nfl D tackle at Prop would break world rugby, and our top tight ends at Eight Man!? Forget about it, we'd never lose a world cup 😂
Surprised to see this up so soon, but very glad to see it! I hope you all had a great Halloween.
Thanks for a pretty good Open Bar, though I didn't agree with everything. That's ok 😊
Great costume, Drinker!
Regarding Romulus. The movie is moot. The Nostromo blew up with not one but three nuclear explosions. The ship is reduced to atoms, there is no way they can find pieces of is floating around in space, and even if there were, they would be far away from the point of the explosion, that's how space works. Same goes for the alien that Ripley shot out of the escape ship, it wouldn't be floating around at the same spot.
“Where is it?! Where’s the Drinker?!”
“WHERE IS HE?!”
"He wouldn't show up as an ordinary sober citizen!!"
@@S4nsThat’s a good one😂
"Those who can, do. Those who can't do, teach. Those who can't teach, teach teaching."
Happy Halloween!
i was bummed i had to leave midway through this one, love y'all
Great crew tonight cheers
Going with the final battle, the T800 vs the thing, the T800 will win. Going with the logic given in an empty room the T800 only needs to detonate it’s power cells which are both nuclear ( T3, T4) and it does have two, causing mini nuclear detonations which would generate enough heat to to vaporize the thing.
In a city environment after physical attacks, bladed attacks, and standard ammunition attacks fail the T800 would still win because it would move up to heavy ordnance ( thermite, napalm, incendiary) . T800 wins, it’s just a matter of time and resources ( military bases/equipment, Walmarts, sporting goods stores)
If the t 800 and The Thing were in that scenario (in a room with nothing)
Remember, he has that nuclear powered core in T3 that could make a small nuclear explosion.
Which would murder The Thing. Not sure if it would be a stalemate.
Memorable songs from movies for me:
"Hidden" from the movie Hidden
"Running Away With You" from the movie Running Man
If Bane stopped a rangers game currently he’d be the most popular man in the stadium
In the batman movie with the two boats, I would have jumped overboard and swam for it. Why wait for criminals to decide to blow up your boat.
I would argue, the point of a business degree isn't to make you a good businessman, it's to learn the language and procedures of the business world.
Like how to kiss ass, lie and step on heads to the top as you betray everyone for a little more money? 😆
I wish more super chats would ask fun or interesting questions of the panel instead of the 90% "Oh nice show you've got here, how can I make it about me."
AKA, "Oh nice superchat you've got here, how can I make it about me."
Why not send one yourself and ask a "fun or interesting question" rather than dictating what people do with their own money?
Agreed. Why wouldn't you want to ask interesting questions or add to their critiques!?. Especially in an episode like this
Yep, and people who want to pay for free advertising. Sure, they can spend their money how they want, but it has the opposite effect on me and makes me think whatever they've written/created isn't worth checking out due to the blatant desperation. Just because something isn't woke, doesn't make it good. And all the life stories/social interest stuff make me break out the tiny violins. We all have shit to deal with, no need to splurge it all over someone else's livestream that has nothing to due to with you or your experiences, no matter how hard or tragic.
@@jasriannaYou ok?
Ohh, imagine the Predator thinking he's killed a Thing copying a human and then when he peels out the skull and spine it wheels around and starts attacking him.
There's something nightmare fuel right there.
Remember how bone and muscle is stronger than steel ounce for ounce? Why cant the thing just get inside the massive gaping holes in the terminator and just... expand and rip the weaker metal apart
To Gary's mention of Hockey, we don't actually have a national ice-hockey league. Our national hockey league is Canada's.
It was founded in Canada but we have 25 teams and the Headquarters in NY so that is debatable
Just what I need for after Halloween. 👻🎃🎉
You coudve just ended the stream after the first 30secs, and It woudve been awesome
I am alright with the T800 being the winner here. It is that damn rugged and powerful and relentless.
Nobody talks about Bad Moon enough. The werewolf movie that screenshot was taken from.
2:10:24 Bless you Mauler, for that Futurama reference.
I thought Drinker was supposed to be Blade lmao
Great. So the ultimate movie monster of all of time, is the only one that can actually exist... in like five years
No, Drinker, just look at Chinese football team. They love football, they've passion, they got all the money, resources and a huge population. Yet, their football is terrible and beyond redemption.
The American team can get better but it'll never be able to compete against a Germany, Brazil, France Argentina etc etc. Same with the mls and the Saudi league, moneys being pumped in and it'll pick up a little but they're not gonna be anywhere near Premier league or la liga or serie a.
Erm. The Thing built a space craft for days. So it can out-build a T-800.
Pazuzu (a demon) is possessing bodies to control. The Thing is, essentially, a lot of bodies. In one. It can separate itself in order to try to run away. But killing the host without exorcism means the demon will just jump in its new form. So Pazuzu wins.
The entire schmoz is a close one between Jason and a xenomorph... where Jason wins, because regeneration and also Uber Jason exists.
The end.
For the battles you should have done blank room (combat power), house (ingenuity) and forest (stealth) since some specialise in certain enviroments and have particular strengths and weaknesses.
Just remember guys, Robocop beat the Terminator so the best Good Guy to protect you from any Monster is Alex Murphy
Thanks for the chatter, cheers.
Omg Drinker, he is out for vengeance
Disparu: it's part of being an adult to learn what you were taught as a kid is wrong.
Also Disparu: kids believe what their parents tell them because they evolved from monkeys.
Guess that's a new tactic to use on my daughters to let them know that they'll never reach their next supposed evolutionary jump unless they learn to listen
When I got my MA, I realized I wasn't ready to go into teaching. So, I spent eight years in business and industry before I thought of getting a teaching position in a college. I learned so much and was glad I made the wise decision to do so. I was a better teacher for it. Any university or college is going to have teachers who are clueless about real life. I personally don't think anyone should go to college before they are twenty or twenty-one. The best students I've had are the ones coming out of a dead-end job or getting out of the military; they are the best students. They know why they are in college and have a goal. They understand following directions and keeping the smart alec out of their attitudes. But nowadays with all the woke crap going on, I paraphrase Davy Crockett: "The universities and colleges can go to hell. I am going to Texas."
1:32:02 should be noted the arachids can just launch boulders at them from planets away
Brilliant 😂😂😂😂 start 👏 👌
You forgot the most industructable movie monster of them all- Rey!
That Poltergeist discussion did my head in. You guys attached way to much to the name Poltergeist. This entity takes a little girl into another realm and the medium says "she is with the beast" this is clearly something far more dangerous and powerful than just a ghost moving things around.
The THING is an organism. All the T800 has to do is wait and watch it rot away. Also T800 has electricity -> Thus able to make fire. 😉
Pinhead! Calling it now (start of Samara vs Pinhead fight)! The Black Pope, The Dark Prince of Hell, Doug F-KING BRADLEY!
Me, biased? Whaaaaat
If I didn't know from seeing FNT that Gary was Captain African America I would have guessed he was supposed to be Colin Kaepernick.
0:48 😂.. this made me lose it! "WELLL!" then bam! MauLer's hilarious laughter..and dude I tell you what, Drinker's blended in so well with the Open Bar background title card that it literally looks like a dwarf that's just perpetually holding a bottle! (before he opens the night's panel)
🤣
Pyramid head is the manifestation of James Sunderland, so technically only James can kill it.
16:55 I once attempted explaining this point to a coworker, it was like talking to a brick wall.
Pazuzu vs The Thing. I've not seen an Exorcist film, but my money is on the demon. Souls are real in the Exorcist universe, but does that even matter? The Thing is still life and I reckon any imitation could be possessed. I can see the argument against it, but that's who I'd think win.
As for The Thing vs the T-800, yes, hands-down, the T-800 wins. The Thing cannot assimilate a machine, and it wouldn't have time to grow anything that could damage it, if we go with the blank room arena.
As much as I love The Thing, I can't see it winning those two scenarios.
💯
Fire doesn't kill the Thing anyway, even if the T800 could make it. The body they bring back is already roasted with kerosene and it comes right on back from the table like its nothing but a boo boo. The only movie 'monster' I can think of which might have a chance against the Thing is Andromeda, if it adapted to consume it on a molecular level as it does even with polymers.
They clearly didn't have an anatomy class in primary school... the thing could just use the little bit of flesh on the terminator, liquefy to get inside the components, then turn to muscle and bone to do the extremely minimal amount of damage needed to break a computer

Both…before he even gives them the ultimatum.

Unimaginable damage,that would be complete and utter pandemonium. 😒

Hopefully, we can have a continuation of Aliens with A.I. in the future.

28:30 This is why i don't see things changing. This discussion has been had many times over the previous decades. You can find archives of talk radio and books from the 70s and 80s making the same complaint about the education system.
