Summary
This week, Da7e tells the other hosts about The AI Doc or How I Became an Apocaloptimist, a movie that is mostly vibes. Which is good because the other hosts are here for a vibe-heavy episode talking about last Sunday’s 98th Annual Academy Awards! What were the thoughts outside of the Sinners vs One Battle After Another big takeaways? Well the sound was bad and David didn’t like the stage.

| 0:00.0 | Not talking about pigs in space only because there is not a Pigs in Space movie in honor of Project Hail Mary. What's your favorite movie that takes place in space? I'm Katie Rich. I think Dave is leaning more towards some ASMR, which is an interesting pivot for this show. I'm not mad about it. And I'm going to say, I think you all think I'm going to say first man and I thought about it. But I was thinking last week about how we brought up the bad guys too, which does go to space. It is very good. |
| 0:23.5 | I'm going to say first man and I thought about it. But I was thinking last week about how we brought up the bad guys too, which does go to space. |
| 0:22.6 | It is very good. |
| 0:23.5 | I'm going to say that one. |
| 0:40.0 | I'm Matt Patches and I'm just going to be obvious and say 2001 of Space Odyssey. Sorry, it's, it's still good. Holds up. Oh, I'm Dave with the 7 and I can't not watch Apollo 13 whenever I see a clip of Apollo 13. |
| 0:40.0 | If you see a clip of Apollo 13. |
| 0:44.8 | If you see a clip of Apollo 13, you will stop everything you're doing and watch Apollo 13. |
| 0:49.7 | Yeah, sometimes it's like, if it's a clip towards the beginning of the movie, I'm really screwed for time. |
| 0:52.6 | But, you know, sometimes it's a ladder one. |
| 0:55.5 | How often are you being confronted with rickroll clips from Apollo 13? |
| 0:58.8 | Someone needs to Rickroll Dave with Apollo 13 clips. |
| 1:04.5 | I mean, maybe this is how I break the habit as you guys decide this is what you're going to latch on to. |
| 1:06.5 | Ruin this movie for you. |
| 1:08.7 | And I'm David Rilke. And I don't know. |
| 1:09.9 | I will go with sunshine because I like the vibes. |
| 1:15.7 | You can't fight in here. This is the war room. |
| 1:17.7 | Fine, I can hear you now, Dimitri. |
| 1:20.0 | I can no longer sit back and allow. |
| 1:22.2 | Clear and plain and coming through fine. |
| 1:24.7 | Subversion. |
| 1:25.5 | I'm coming through fine, too, eh? |
| 1:27.3 | And the international conspiracy. Well, then, as you say, we're both coming through fine. Subversion. I'm coming through fine, too, A. And the international conspiracy. Well, then, as you say, we're both coming through fine. The sap and impurify. I agree with you. It's great to be fine. All of our precious bodily fluids. It's a hot podcast. Hello, welcome to Fighting in the War in episode 539. Look, I can change the way I talk too. Oh, hello there. Hello. How many to see you here? Hi. How are you doing? It's the week of Wednesday, March 18th. That is the day that in 1965, Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov became the first person to conduct a spacewalk. Sounds terrifying. Is that why they released Project Hail Mary around now? This week? To commemorate the anniversary. The Russians, the Russian spacewalk. I think there is a Russian. I've only read some of the book because my child was taken it over, but I think one of the, one of the characters is Russian, not Soviet because it's set the present day. So, sure. |
