The Empty Man : Halloween Retrospective : GV Classic

Travis Snell (0:00)

Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to a GeekVerse Retrospective. I'm the Fool Me Twice, Travis Snell, and I'm joined by...

Dylan Mussel (0:08)

I am, what the fuck are you, Kirkland Patser? I am the repetitious Dylan Mussel. Now, is that even a word, or is it just repetitive? Is repetitious actually a word?

Travis Snell (0:18)

Repetitious is a word, yeah. Okay.

Dylan Mussel (0:20)

I'll go with that then.

Travis Snell (0:21)

Yeah. I feel like it's like a post and past tense.

Dylan Mussel (0:25)

Another term for repetitive.

Travis Snell (0:27)

For what? I like it more than repetitive, I think. Repetitious.

Dylan Mussel (0:30)

Yeah, I like it too. Yeah.

Travis Snell (0:32)

Finally.

Taylor Field (0:33)

The Emptyed Man, Taylor Field.

Travis Snell (0:36)

You sound like the Tin Man from Wizard of Oz. I'm the Emptyed Man. Really none see that. Anyways, ladies and gentlemen.

Dylan Mussel (0:42)

My God, what a cup.

Travis Snell (0:44)

Yeah. I missed it. What was the cup?

Taylor Field (0:46)

That was a really cool-

Travis Snell (0:47)

It's a freezer mug. It's like a Stein. A mug?

Yeah. That's like a Stein.

Dylan Mussel (0:51)

Yeah.

Travis Snell (0:52)

Well, it's not a mug, but it's not like- what classifies as a mug?

Dylan Mussel (0:57)

It's got to have like a handle, probably a certain shape.

Travis Snell (1:00)

But I feel like a cup with a handle is not just a cup. I feel like that's something else too.

Dylan Mussel (1:04)

It's a tall mug.

Travis Snell (1:05)

It's a tall mug. There you go. Tall mug.

Dylan Mussel (1:07)

It's a drinking mug.

Travis Snell (1:08)

First time I ever had one of those at my grandma's. That's where she always put the iced tea and was like, what is this evolutionary thing you have here? What is this cup? Is it a mug? Yeah. Because it's like- It's Halloween themed.

Dylan Mussel (1:16)

It's orange.

Travis Snell (1:17)

It's great. Yeah. It's like 2002 where it's like, I've never seen a cup like this before. But you know what?

Yeah. You know what some of us haven't seen before? Is The Empty Man. Now, you might be wondering, why the fuck are you guys reviewing The Empty Man? Because if you look at this, it's like a cult classic.

Not reviewed by many though, a box office bomb and stuff like that. But this is how it works. And if you in the future want to dictate what we do, because these polls have gone completely off the rails, but I love it. Like the Brad Pitt one, we got Megamind. For this, we got Empty Man. The video game one, I'm not too... I think that's the first new one, we got Jake Gyllenhaal's Prince of Persia. We're like, okay, I've heard lots of bad things about this movie. I feel like people want us to review this. I've never seen it fully, so I'm excited that will be coming in November. Look out for the Prince of Persia Retrospective. And then December, there'll be a Christmas one. And what we talked about in the town hall is when we're doing, every month we're going to do a Patreon Retrospective, which that means everyone on our Patreon gets to put in their subjections, or those subjections, what the fuck, their submissions. And then at the Patreon producer tier, because, you know, hence the producer part, you get to vote on what we will be watching. So I'd have to pull it out. Maybe I'll pull out one when these gents are talking. But there was a few movies, I think there was like, It Follow was in there. There's a few, there's like down to four. And then Empty Man took it away. And here we are. We're going to be talking about this. But today, Philip, we got lots going on. At the time of recording this, we got, well, Andor's out and House Dragon's out. We got Black Adam coming out. You and Dylan just did a side quest this week, grounded. So there's lots of things on the feed right now. And we're in the ramping up to November 5th, our charity life, Extra Life charity stream. Where can they find that all?

Taylor Field (2:52)

Ladies and gentlemen, we find that with your internet connection in the search bar, geekverse.ca is our home base, Geekverse casted our Twitter and Geekverse is our Facebook.

Travis Snell (2:59)

Everything you need to know down below, video, audio, discard our podcast network that has eight shows and a slew of great people in there that will be appearing in the trivia battle come November 5th. It's gonna be lots of fun. As you've seen, Peel has been starting to announce for that, host, players, participants. So look out for that. That's gonna be a good one. But there's tons of events, title matches, we're saying goodbye to Gauntlet. We got a Monopoly battle, Taylor and Kirkland's last Call of Duty match ever, at least on air. I'm sure that when they're 80, they'll still be like, I'm better than you. But for the last one, they're tied two piece, Gauntlet, we're going on style. Last one to sign Hoop wins it all, and they're playing a bunch of different Call of Dudes, not just one. And then head over to Manscaped, get that podcast called GVPod and get 20% off for free worldwide shipping. And like I just pimped up before the Patreon, where you could be voting on polls like this, getting this episode ad free, early, getting exclusive episodes, joining after nine, which happens this Saturday, the movie Watch Long, which is going to be fun. And yeah, it's going to be a good time. So and a big thank you to the people that did vote on this one. Aaron Braden, April Darkness, Molly Biggs, Joshua Wright, if you want to get every benefit and vote, go join them and we thank them. And everyone else in between, we're listening, watching, we very much appreciate it because there's lots of podcasts out there and there's been twice this week. Luckily, I guess it's because our Halloween ends review. I think people just want to see if me and Taya could coexist after we've been fighting, but lots of people have been like, hey, first time I've listened, I'm going to stick around. So you know what? Thanks. And maybe stick around for Empty Man. We'll see what happens. So, because I only know the reaction of one person, I'm not going to lead with that person. But I don't know the reaction of the other person.
