Hello, my name is Justin Daboon.

0:08.8

And I'm here today with Will Bone.

0:14.0

Whoa, Will Bone, not even like Will Bones.

0:18.4

Yeah.

0:19.2

You know, either one works. Yeah, yeah. They also call me Will Bohn every other month of the year, too. And folks, I set you that one up for. It's, I know, I was a little slow. I eventually, you were playing like the Blue Jays in the 15th inning of the third world series game. I eventually bunted the ball and walked to first base. No, actually, I'm glad you mentioned

0:40.2

the World Series because I went to bed last night, you know, as the ninth inning started. And I was like,

0:44.8

the true horror. I'll check in the morning. And then around like 1 a.m. I woke up and I checked my phone

0:51.3

and I was like, what? 14th? No, I can't be.

1:12.1

And then I woke up. 14 innings. 18 innings. Well, exactly. Like, it's, it's insane. Anyway, that's going to date this episode. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. The World Series. What's scarier than being set in time? It's October, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, that's right. It's our last shocktober of this year,

1:14.7

a beloved annual ritual on the important cinema club.

1:17.7

And if it sounds like we're being a little goofy this week,

1:20.3

it's because we've picked one of our goofiest topics yet. Well, this is because the show for the first time is coming to you in a third dimension.

1:25.1

Oh, whoa.

1:26.8

Hey, remember when we were kids and there was that period where every sitcom out of a 3D episode. Yep, I was going to bring this up, Third Rock from the Sun. Home Improvement. Home Improvement. The Drew Carey show. I was furious that my parents couldn't get me the glasses for Third Rock from the Sun. Because it came in TV Guide.

1:59.3

I was it TV Guide and you had to get at like Walmart or something like that? No, no, it came with a candy bar. Yeah. That's how you got it. Interesting, interesting. So, I mean, did you have 3D comic books growing up? Oh, yeah, of course. Disney Adventure. I remember a... There's that Daffy Duck one. Who Frame Roger Rabbit.

2:00.9

It was a big wave.

2:01.6

They would just republish comics in 3D, catalanx and dinosaurs and things like that i was always fascinated by it

2:07.5

and you know thinking about it today as i'm going through the 3d movies i genuinely had to take a step

2:13.3

back and go are there any great shot on 3d movies? Robot Monster doesn't come. Dialin for Murder. Yeah, Dialin for Murder is the only one. That's the go-to Hugo, I guess, Martin Scorsese film. Okay, but there are also, you know, you posed this question to me off, Mike, and you were saying, like, is there a great 3D movie that's really built around the 3D? Yeah, because even Dial M for Murder, people are like, it's very subtle. Like, there's that part with the scissor coming toward the camera. There's the part where you see like the gears of the phone, you know. But you could watch Dial M for Murder in 2D and I think not even quite realized. Yeah. Is there a film that you need to watch in 3D or else you don't get the full impact? Okay. I would offer to you Werner Herzog's Cave of Forgotten Dreams. Because in that movie, the 3D is not about coming at you. It's about the actual- Coming at you. The classic Spaghetti Western. It's about the texture of the cave walls and the way that the paintings look on the walls. Give me a narrative film in 3D though. Okay, well, this is borderline. Because the Game of the Forgotten Dreams. What that makes me think are like, you know, there was a wave in the, is it late 90s, early 2000s of IMAX 3D films? I mean, did you go see cyber world in 3d probably that was the one

3:26.9

cyber world in 3d i i made my dad drag me out to see it because 3d was such a novelty at that time

3:32.3

i went to see it at the colossus and vaughn which still has the best iMacs in the city uh and is it still

3:38.0

called the colossus yeah and it's folks for people who are not greater Toronto Area Residence, we have a theater in one of our suburbs that's shaped like a spaceship.
