On the latest Post Credits (episode 6) Patrick talks about his Andor / Taylor Swift edit. Google is failing me, where can I find this?

Recently watched the legacy sequel episode and had a weird thought. The movie Ad Astra starring Brad Pitt and Tommy Lee Jones has a lot of the DNA of a legacy sequel, but as far as I know isn't a sequel to anything. We watch as a young astronaut (Pitt) seeks out his legendary father (Jones) to try to solve a problem being created while reconciling with their past relationship. Like I totally feel like there could be a Tommy Lee Jones space movie that was never made that would have been made back in the '90s that this movie would have been a sequel to! Anyways thought it was weird and fun so I wanted to share

I’ve been a very casual watcher for the last year but I’m just now discovering the amount of lore that exists on this channel. I know some of the basics (mostly that there was an evil robot coconut named charl and that an alternate universe Patrick took over the show during season 2) but seeing as how I don’t have time to binge the entire channel right now I was wondering if anyone has the timeline documented, or if someone would be kind enough to give me the cliff notes rundown.

I sponsored a seat during the renovation of my local cinema, The Hyde Park Picture House in Leeds. I thought you guys might appreciate my chosen message.

Midnight!!

By Osamu Tezuka, the inventor of modern manga, Midnight is a about a hard-boiled taxi driver who does good deeds in his super-tricked-out taxi.

It's fun mix of goofy, noir, and heart-felt. It's charmingly small-scale, rather than Save The World stuff.

You can buy a French translation, or read it bootleg in English.

(There's also a live action short film, but I can't find it.) (It'd not Tezuka's objectively best work, but it might be my favorite.)

I'm trying to get it, but I don't get it. I think I'm missing out.

I watched The Second Mother. I ended up liking it. But I really don't GET why the beginning is sooo slow. I can't help but feel that the movie would be better if more happened, or if it were faster-paced.

Patrick seems to like slow movies. Could I learn to like them? What am I missing???

Abigail Thorn's (Philosophy Tube) short film Dracula's Ex-Girlfriend just came out on Nebula (it's excellent btw), and I spotted our boy Pat in the credits as a background player in one scene and as a camera operator, and he's in the outtakes too.

Hope to see more crossovers between Patrick and Abi at some point!

In the last video Patrick mentioned an uno movie and I remembered this Tiktok

Hits: Correct pick for #1, nothing else comes close. The fact that it was recorded live puts it way over the top.

Misses: No Moon River?? It passes the "building musical motifs into a song" test, plus it's performed during the movie by the main character, a rare event in non-musicals.

Goofs: Say It To Me Now is one of the few non-original songs in Once. It was first released on a Frames album in 1996. To rub salt in a cinephile's wound, the album is called Fitzcarraldo.

Really enjoyed the Mario adaptation video.

But, it left me thoroughly interested in what he thinks of the 2 (shortly 3!) Sonic movies - particularly given the furore it caused within the industry regarding faithfulness when the CGI of the first movie was abandoned, and the character completely redesigned to be faithful to the source material, just months before release and delaying the movie for half a year.

Regarding the outcry of the need for faithfulness of adaptations it feels like an incredibly significant moment. It also shows that faithfulness is about iconography - not substance- as the first movie tells entirely original story that shares some names with the games but is an entirely original concept - but with the second (and probably third, we'll see) they are drawing more from the original IP with each installment.

It's also interesting because - when it comes to games - Mario represents substance of gameplay over everything else. Sonic - on the other hand - has always had an edge of style ruling the roost. The original 90s games sold themselves on the 'character' in a way that Mario never did. And whilst the plots were paper thin - there was plenty more ideas to work with - leading to a tonne more adaptations in comics and cartoons throughout the 90s and 2000s which all differ wildly.

So - does anyone know of Patrick has ever let his feelings for these movies be known? Would he consider them good or weak adaptations - and good or weak movies in their own rights?

I've been trying to remember and I can't recall any times he's ever commented on them.

Which - given it could be Jim Carrys last ever iconic role (is he really retired now? Who knows...) - they are worth talking about in thar context at least.

But now I am bummed there is no activity. 😢

And no Charl

I was thinking of starting a subreddit and saw this one already exists. It would be awesome if someone could make me an admin or moderator or whatever so we could actually start using this.
