3:49 The cost is intended for a mature audience. We like to use naughty words. And I heard someone say, "Digimon, you were funny." [Music] Another retrospective. I smell tamers on the way. No, that you just went you just went past a bathroom. That's all. [Music] Yowi wowy. Why would you ever cheer for the Frontier Kids? All they do is lose. I mean, if it's a Lemon, it's probably going to die. [Music] Yeah, if uh Termon is Shamon by the fandom's comparison, you wait till we get to Hunters. Tagaroo is going to make

4:35 Dice game look like a goddamn saint. Uh, yeah. Frost quarters is better than tamers. Oh [ __ ] Meg's just the Joker leaving the hospital. Look, I know it's going to annoy people, but Atmon is just peak fiction and it's the best thing like storytelling wise that this franchise has put out so far. Sorry, not sorry.

5:26 Hello there lovely people. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening and good night. Welcome in [Music] to episode 378 of the CodeCrown podcast. Wow, I know, right? My name is AJ. Joined along, of course. Bye-bye, Miss Magmon. Hi. Come back. Yeah, it's been a minute since you were here. You went you went to Lanzerati and just abandoned us. I did. How dare you go to the sunshine and I came back and you still had some. Yeah, you brought the sunshine home with you. It was sunny while I was gone. Kind of more overcast

6:11 than but uh Oh, thank you. I wore this last night for the hard pack unboxing. It was meant to be my birthday outfit, but you need to fix your drills. They're stabbing you. I know. Um, it was meant to be my birthday outfit, but then the uh card boxes got delayed and then Easter happened and then the Mayday bank holiday. So, it was a lot. And so, I'm like, "Okay, I got to wear it once. I'll wear it again tonight and then it will probably go away until some other occasion because this is not my outfit for the next season. It is not.

6:59 And we didn't hit that goal for you to guys to get a preview of what that outfit would be. So basically that basically that 37 degrees in the catio. That sounds that sounds glorious. Oh yeah, no. Yeah, no. 37 cell. No, no. Just no. So, today we are watching uh Digimon Adventure, our war game. Without that divorce causing rat, right? With without Angela Anaconda. Yes. Um I don't know how it's like it's it's a very like Irish outfit. The jacket that comes with it even has like clovers

7:46 on the back of it. I don't know. I don't know why it looks uh shouldn't be looking like a Chinese dress. It is very um it is very Celtic. I don't know if I can even show off the Oh, am I am I doing a spin? Oh, no. Okay, you were under the desk. I'm under the desk. Okay. Yeah, this uh I Why can I just Why can I not spin that outfit properly? It's the Hi, Meg. [Laughter] Like, I just go for speed. Speed. I'm just It's the It's the intro. Yeah, it's the adventure intro. Uh oh. What was the first Digimon movie? Uh, it was the one where they were babies.

8:33 Luma, not you. What was the first Digimon organ? No. No. The one where they were babies. I know. I know that. I'm asking what Lady Leman's asking about. Oh, no. Cuz over here it was all chopped. It was all one big amalgamation. Yeah. It was just chopped, whipped, and pureed into like one big movie. Yeah. And they removed a whole plot point and you didn't notice. Yeah. because it was kind of like well I mean I was asking a question during it which would have been answered by that plot line but no Wargame is is the second uh movie the one where they're babies uh

9:18 where it's just Tai Chi and Hikari and the giant Auman that's the first one it's that movie it's not technically a movie by western standards because of the length of it but it is a movie like it's basically an OV VA. Yeah. So, there's that one. You You watch that and then you go into the show proper and then you watch War Game. That's the continuity. And then 02 happens. That'd be a struggle. Mhm. That is going to be a struggle. Getting to 02 is going to be a struggle cuz you watch 02 up until the point the Digimon Emperor or Kaiser is defeated. Yeah. And then you watch Hurricane Touchdown. And then you go back to the other show.

10:03 Yeah. And we never speak of Magnamon ever again. Yeah. Never. Even though they bring up Wallace, you never speak of Magnamon ever [Laughter] again. Um because God forbid, right? God forbid. Um, and we never speak of Sarafhimon ever again either or Holy Drummond because like Holy Drummond and Sarafimon turn up in Hurricane Touchdown and then they just don't appear again in the actual 0ero2 show. Yeah. Like for no reason other

10:49 than FU viewer. Mhm. the thing you liked. No. Yeah, I'm going to enjoy picking at that when we finally get to adventure 02, but there is no Angela Anaconda to ruin our night tonight or cause a divorce. Um, so we are watching the original Japanese version of War Game which is about 40 minutes. It's about 40 minutes. And then we'll be doing column 12. No, well, it's not 12, but it's the column for chapter 12 or whatever the Yeah, the was for the Owen

11:35 uh Shoto battle. So, we'll be doing the we we're doing whatever column we missed out on before we get into chapter 13 of Liberator next week as Liberator, you know, returns to the channel and we start doing those readalongs and reviews. So, yes, think someone was BSing about that. I mean, why why couldn't it have happened? No. Like, there should Have you ever met parents that are on the verge of a divorce? Um, one little thing. Oh, yeah. One little thing can set it all off. Mhm. Sometimes all it t like like it wasn't Angela Anaconda that set it off. It's biting because one of you brought me to the wrong movie. Yeah. Angela Anakonda was just the straw that broke

12:21 the camel's back. Yeah. Um, she confused the situation. Yeah. Cuz they thought they were their child was upset. And you know, when you're fighting with your husband, that's his fault. And when you're fighting with your wife, that's her fault. Mhm. So I fully believe it happened. Oh yeah. Yeah. Some is there. What is that Batman trope? Sometimes all it takes is one bad day. And and I sw and I think Angela Anaconda is more than enough for one bad day. 90s people getting divorced over stupid. You don't know what they were going through before that though. Yeah. They didn't get divorced because of that. They were on the verge of it. And that this couple was already falling. Yeah. Because the story is the couple was already falling apart and this was meant to be some sort of family date

13:07 night to try and patch over or you know uh repair the relationship. And it 100% was common place. People get divorced over stupid things. Yeah. All the time. Yeah. Not every divorce is he cheated on me or she's an abuser or Sometimes you just fall in America where you can just get divorced. Yeah. In Ireland you wouldn't. Sometimes you can just fall out of love with a person or you have like I like I've broken up with an ex of mine simply because we ended up having arguments about arguments and sometimes that's all it is. You have an argument, you make up, but then something else goes wrong and one of you can't leave it alone and you go, "Well, this is just like this." And then you end up fighting

13:52 about that situation again and it builds and it builds and it builds and it builds and suddenly you just want nothing more to do with that person. Sometimes they're just not good for you. They try throw a crying child in the mix who's confused about what movie they're at. Oh yeah. Uh yeah. You know, so it's like when people snap, they can't, you know, it just was one little thing that made them kill someone, but it was, you know, there's a buildup and a buildup and a buildup and there's your one thing. Mhm. Yeah. Technically, it wasn't it wasn't Angela herself, but again, straw that breaks the camel's back. Hey, Ally. Hey, Liberator readalongs will be shorter now with how Bondi have changed the scheduling. Yeah.

14:38 So, I've been wondering about how we handle that because it looks like now with Liberator like they've said they're going to be putting the debugs out faster. So, um on one hand it means it's we should have less columns. But I don't know if we should still because of the way we've been doing them so far where we do like one and two together, three and four, if we should still wait for like 9 and 10 together, 11 and 12 together, or just do them as they come out. Mhm. I guess it really depends on what our plan is post 2020. Yeah. Maybe we just kind of see what the contents Oh, don't die, Meg. Hold on.

15:55 Sorry, Meg's just dying here. So, our cola bottle tried to kill me. Yeah. Anyway, no, Meg is not okay. Me is a good whack in the back. Should should I'm actually I'm Don't do it. You sure? Mhm. Good old It's not there anymore. Just the aftermath of the Okay. Anyway, so where were we? Oh, yeah. So, I don't know if we just continue doing debug the way we've been doing it or if we just do it as it comes out. I guess like it'll I guess it'll really depend on where we are with 2020 when we catch up on the Liberator

16:41 content. Yeah. Uh, the final Digimon comic is coming out next week as well. So, we have the the end of those stories, Paradox, Recollection, all of those. Um, the final Guman Dad uh chapter. You going to miss them? A lot more of that. Yeah. Um, so we have we have we have the final Digimon comic as well next week. So, you know, we've plenty to kind of tide us over um while we finish out the last 17 episodes of 2020. Yeah. So, with how late the podcast is, there should be enough Liberator cont. That's Well, that and that was the plan. That was kind of why I said, "Right, well, we

17:27 have our mid-season break, so to speak, of Liberator. let's finish 99 and then go back to it for season two or whatever way they're classing this. So that was kind of the plan all according to Kaku. So it's it's not that we're late. It's very it it's intentionally planned. Mhm. So fall behind waited. Yeah. Exactly. We didn't fall behind. We waited. They're two very those are two very different things. Thanks. Now I'm dying. Dipy coughing. Bald. You're not even eating jellies. No, I'm not. I haven't had anything yet. Um, hypnotized.

18:13 Were you? Was I? Oh, because I was doing this or were you just doing a jiggle Homer's belly but your booty? Oh, no. Uh, this like a lavaler. This software this software doesn't track them like that. No. So I I'm I'm actually jiggle free. I'm not that There was nothing there. There was nothing there. But where am I? Oh, I'm on this screen. Yeah. Stop trying to summon the shadow clones. Your hands won't go together for that.

19:09 Naruto running. That's how that works, right? Anyway, um could that software pick that up if you did it? Ali says, "I'm looking forward for Rico to be saved from transforming into Omegaon and then kicking Diabloon's ass." Yeah, that is probably what will happen. It's kicking the other one in the face. That is probably what will happen. I think the jacket has been a big like red herring or a big like Czechov's gun thing. Yeah, I fully see her turning into an Omegaon to fight face the Diabloon cuz they just they can't help themselves. No, they can't. And also, she's a big fan girl, so she'll want that to happen. Exactly. And that's and that's the only reason it works. She's digital now. She can do it. that's the only reason it works is because she is such a fan girl. Um that

19:57 she she'll want to recreate that. Uh where with 2020 referencing War Game, you know, every couple of episodes, it's like h okay. Yeah, that's why today I'm just like I'm like am I looking forward to this or have I seen it too much lately? Yeah. Um it will be I'm not picking my nose. I was trying to do the the jutsu thing, you know, where you hold um you know, like the n like the ninja posing, but my tracker doesn't pick it up. I was trying to do that. Can't wait to watch Summer Wars. That was another thing I thought we should do. Um was like as an extra was Summer Wars because it's the same writer and Summer Wars is what he

20:42 wanted this movie to be and Bondi went, "No, you could buy that." Yeah. Yeah, we have Summer Wars downstairs. Yeah, we have the Blu-ray or the DVD or something for it. Yeah. Not the one you bought that had all the extra. Unsure. It might be. It's Yeah, it might that might be actually. Yeah. Um so um but I don't know. It's been a it's been a minute since we've uh like kind of done this as a duo. not lingo. We don't talk about that anymore. Um, so let me see. Is there anything on Discord that we should bring Magg's attention to in particular?

21:31 There we go. [Music] Um, okay. Yeah, I've actually been stuck with Discord because every time I go into it, all of the things are highlighted. Like I haven't read them and then I go in and it's the stuff I've already read. Oh, so kind of glitching. Yeah, it's like, "Hey, there's all this stuff you haven't seen." And I go in there and there's nothing new. Oh, okay. Well, look, we'll we'll pop it up on screen anyway. Ellie says, "Eh, new century stuff." Yeah, new century stuff. That that has really been the crux of it. So, let me have a look here. So, we watched this Belle Zabuman video last time, right? Oh, he does a flip,

22:19 doesn't he? Yeah. Yeah. So, can we watch? Sure, we can watch Belleuman do a flip. I got to put the desktop audio on so people can hear it. They don't need to hear it. That was it. Um, we got a we got a new video for Bearmon. Oh, yeah. The playful brothers in Central Town. Oh.

23:06 also flip Kumaman. He's very good. He's a good boy. Uh yeah. So Bloom Lordmon arrived in New Century. Why does that sound backwards to me? It should. Yeah, Lord Bloommon sounds better, doesn't it? Rather than Bloom Lordmon. Yeah, I've always thought that. Like are there other just Lord? Something Lord Mons. No, then it should just be Lord Blummon. Um, so there's his model. Very colorful. Yeah. And then we have Tukanmon. He's interesting. Arbormon. And Pedalmon. Yeah, the Tukanmon looks [Music] very I don't know, like he should be in a Mario or something. Yeah, I get that.

23:53 He has that like Mickey Mouse like color scheme to him on the body as well. The shapes. Yeah, like he's got Sonic feet. Yeah, but they were one of the Ranimon fan clubs if you remember. And then we have new art for uh of fall down mode. Oh, she's got something tied up. It's funny. It kind of helps when you're what? 90% robot. Yeah. And then um Grace Novammon. Yeah. I love this design. I really do. I kind of hope it turns up in something that we can actually play. Yeah. be nice to like even for Time Stranger, especially because Time Stranger is focusing on the Olympians to be able to combine Apollo and Deanon to get this

24:40 thing. Yeah, that'll be nice. Um, oh, sorry. Card game thread has uh we got this nice Paguman um and then this Gazimon with being chased be up by a Leon. It looks like it's flirting with Le. Oh, stop. Oh. Oh, go. Don't chase me. No. Oh, no. Big Bruce, don't chase me. Shut up. Um, my polls from last night's stream. Yeah, which I am super happy with all the Atmon stuff. Yeah. So, uh, updates on this. Uh, I have been negotiating with Yummy all day.

25:27 And Yummy is going to send me two more Globemon, two more Carismon, and another Gamon. Yeah. So, I only need one more Gamon for the playset. And uh so it it this is coming together quick. I couldn't have asked for a better haul than than we got. Um so, Yummy is going to take one of my serious mon, one of my regular mon. Um, both of my heroes. Yeah. And then a bunch of other stuff. So, all right. And yeah, from from the or Yeah. My or my Orbee1 hero, my Orbee1 alt art arismon. Yeah. My alt art

26:14 tactical retreat, and then my booster 13 Mirage Gammon and Mirage Gammon Burst Mode. Yeah. So, and I'm and I'm also getting the Mastemon uh promo um that was in the same like promo packs as as these. Yeah. So, thank you, Yummy. Thank you, Yummy. Also, uh Savemon here, right, is listed as a app fusion requirement for Timemon. Yeah. Not in the pack. So now he says if two of these cards are used, you can summon it. So Watchmon and Calendarmon are in the pack. The Savemon

27:00 is coming later. Yeah. But they've included him on this in advance. Yeah. I'm like, so I thought I needed four Savemon, but no, he's just not in the packet like at all. So um but then we got this cool Pon art. Poman is it right there? uh monochrommon and greymon just fight being kaijus in a city. I guess it's the greymon looks weird. I kind of dig it though. There's just something about it that's like it looks different which makes Yeah, it's just very stylized. Um so I dig it. Very round titties. And then meant uh we also have then this nice Palmon in the meat fields

27:47 and Tanimon. Yeah. And and a poop. And a poop. Yeah. It's fertilizer for the meat fields because meat the card is just called meat. And I love it. I also I really do love that it's got like the icons for like for from the V-pad as well. Yeah. So that this is such a good idea. I really love it. Um have this uh awesome unimon. really dig the purple backing cuz the the yellow really pops off on it as well. Um and then we have Androman who looks like he invaded Digimon Survive. Yeah, that's the classroom for survive, right? That is just the classroom from Survive. It's not when you look down the bottom

28:33 there's like Oh, it's like a conveyor belt thing or something or some kind of control panel or something. Yeah, but the windows it looks like classroom. Yeah. Um, then we got Pomon, who's just terrifying. And, uh, Parasaurmon, I'm glad the first one doesn't have longer teeth. We're getting store tournament cards, are we? Well, we're probably not because But these are the promos that you get for going to these tournaments. So, there's this cool uh um chippy month. Yeah, this nice uh Edgeworth Love it. Tweetmon finally exists in card form. Start calling him Xmon now.

29:19 Xmon. Uh, Apollon Ace. This awesome Bakon. That is a violet Pokemon. Yeah, it's got it's it's got liberator traits. Yeah, that's a really cute character. I love it. Yeah, but I don't know. I'm going to have to on eBay. Buy it on eBay or something because I don't trust that the comic shop here will actually get these in. They didn't even have a tournament last time. No, last one they had Yu-Gi-Oh and yeah, not Dimon at all. Um, and then the Wicked God emerges. So, something for um, Millennium, but yeah, I love this Pokemon art. I think like outside of like outside of Tubuman here, um I think the Bakimon one is my favorite, but and it also helps

30:05 that it is liberator traded, so it is a violet card, so I I do need to get it for that reason. Um uh yeah, then nice Electcond. Oh, that's really nice. All the little uh the sprites, right looking things. Yeah. And then this cool angelon where he's just hanging out with Electonmon and Gobon and he's just got this like I love this like just this strand of hair that's like falling over his shoulder. Yeah, he looks like he's like a big brother taking them on a play date or something. Yeah, this good. Have you seen Guru? Yes. Bleuruman the distant cousin to your blurum.

30:55 bleurum and um yeah, metal mamemon. More of the gold man is like the Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then we're just kind of back where we were. Yeah. So, new gaming more uh source code stuff. Oh, okay. So, Hex Blowmon in source code and Muggan Draymond in source code. Uh, mediawise. Oh, yeah. We're getting new Omegaon and Diabloon statues. They're very um they're kind of scary textured. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, that's what this brand is. The Ichibanuji. Um Yeah. But I do not like Did we look at this last

31:41 time? We did. We did. Okay. We were laughing because in the back of the other picture Oh, is Yeah. Yeah. I think that's kind of uh I don't Yeah, I don't like the the other figure. Well, Diablo. Diablo. Thank you. I mean, you're going to see him a lot today. You're going to see him. Yeah. But so I thought it was worth bringing up. Also, Omega again without the like they need to decide whether Omegaon has the crests, the combined crests as his symbol on the chest or he doesn't. Yeah. Is it just a blue thing or is there actually crests in there? Yeah. Like it it actually bugs me

32:27 because if this is meant to be Tai Chi and Yamato's Omegamon, it should have the crests. Yeah. But then we're playing Cyber Sleuth and Noki as Omega has them and I'm just like, "Okay, but why why do you not why are you not the one that just has the gold the golden blue like bubble on your chest?" Yeah. Like what the um And fancy Rio artwork. M love the Millennium on behind him as well. And the textured like um monodon here is very fierce looking. Yeah. And up in the up the top. Yeah. Oh, Tai Chi and Takado. Oh, yeah. Cuz

33:14 yeah, they're part of Oh, there's Ken. And there's Duke. All right. So, it's actually from one of the games. It's not even It's art for one of the games. Oh, that's fun. I think it's meant to be a Palommon head here. This looks It looks like a Palommon head down. Um when they were looking for Palmon in Adventure Yeah. Uh to say goodbye to Mimi, there were flowers that looked like her in the universe. Oh, so it might just uh Owen got birthday art. Yeah. Okay. Now, um 25 or something like that. Yeah. Um, and is this kind of collage of Wormon into Stingmon and then War Greymon might be I can't tell if it's

34:02 black War Raymon or not, but either way. Then we have all the perfects. Yeah. And and thick Amya. Look them hips. Vamer Taichi. Uh, Pokemon Red. And uh the protag from Gundam G Cooks or what, however you pronounce that. Oh, that thing that little ball was, I think. So, yeah. I don't know why I know that, but And then we have the stained glass and boob window. Yeah. Ass. Uh-huh. Yeah. It's kind of giving vibes of like, you know, in a horror movie when someone is pushed up against a shower. So, I love these little uh drawings. So,

34:49 we have you uh penguin Yuko. We'll we'll jump back in a sec. We have Penguin Yuko. Um Ry into Lord Nightmon. Uh Ammy wearing a Nokia version of her outfit. Kiyoko. Yeah. Wormon dreaming about Erica as the Kaiser. Yeah. Oh my is upset by that. And then uh the ghosts of Yugo and Mugan Draymond. Lilyon watering the potato fields. And then uh use plan for world domination. Plan A, plan B, plan C.

35:42 Bunnies. Bunnies on the moon. those uh skin guards. I'm not happy to be sitting on the moon. No, no, but I'm the moon. Love is pain. Um, this Harrison looks like it's seen some [ __ ] Yeah, I tell you my story. Yeah, we got this nice noble pump art. Dunis man and Lord Nightmon. Yeah. Yeah, that's the Japanese name. Dinus is English.

36:27 This time we've been gone. Yuki hugging Hackmon. Himmon is or Hookman I should say. Yeah. Uh Imp is not impressed. Hey, that's my partner. That's it. Uh unsure. I I'm sure it has to do with the recent debug. Oh yeah, cuz remember she made friends with him in the forest that time. And then we got the completed Nami art, the sketch we showed off a while ago. Yeah. And it's cool to see her with Medus and Mvamon and like even these like snake OC's are really cool. I really do dig this one with the guitar and then like the hood is like the like the a cobra's like, you know, like base or whatever. Yeah, it's giving me kind of giving me vibes of like the Imman

37:14 line. Yeah, but where the [ __ ] is her own snake? I mean, why is Klmon not here? I mean, she is it. So, yeah, but do you see a morpher on her arm? Sorry, Digivvice. I was going to say if that's in the picture, then technically she can't be. They're the same body. You just don't put the little tube thing on its head and it's not bioman. You just put Kotel on on it and you're grand. Like, it's cool and I'm always down to see more Nami art because Nami is queen, but it's just odd that her own snake isn't included. Like, unless this is for like some sort of RPG thing. But these aren't But these don't commission, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah.

37:59 So, like these are your own commission. I Maybe I will. Maybe I will. I'll get the person who did my violet playmat to do it up. Um, I love Rudyon and the Sukaja. It's It's very good. And uh Oh, I don't know. I'm not sure how I feel about this. Oh, there's a line to the other one. Not that one. This one. Yeah. This is adorable. This sparks joy. This I am unsure. This confuses me. Yes. [Music] Um, Belf Monarch. Cool.

38:45 And I think we're caught up. Just skip a rubbish. No, no, not that one. Look at these rabbits. A down further. That one wouldn't eat you again. Oh, Simbar. Yeah, that's cool. I think we're back to where we were last time. Although it looks like he's in the background in a movie, you know, trying not to tell trying not to give himself away, but also telling you to go that way. Um, so it was Golden Week, so we have Ammy Iba in the gold bikini that is popular on the internet with the fish crackers feeding them to golden uh rapidmon. Um, what I think is a really funny attention to detail is that the

39:31 crest of destiny or fate is on her is on her bottoms. I think I'm not going to Yeah, I think it's a really fun just weird attention to detail. It would be great if we could do this in Time Stranger knowing that we can ride around on Digimon. Yeah. Uh, does that mean we get to ride Beluman's bicycle? Bicycle. Motorbike. Sorry, words are hard right now. Yeah. Okay, we Yeah, we're back. Yeah, we're back now. Okay, so let me get caught up with chat. Um is not a woman. Uh I think I meant to

40:20 say Kulmon because it's quel total. Yeah. So in in in Japan it's Kotelman. In English it's quelman. The other way around because generally Japanese will have like the complicated name and then the English one goes oh kids can't say that. Uh no no not your bad at all. Howard put Rapid Mod in the bikini too. suffer impan I mean Yuki loves her I impan I don't think there's any suffering going on one of the messages that get through said why stingman so [ __ ]

41:06 yeah he is kind of serving yeah Draymond as a chipified angel is not something I know he needed uh fun monogrammon looks nearly feral he does and I love the that terrier is an assistant. They're Oh, there is a Terrier assistant. Yeah. Okay, hold on. Let me bring this up. I don't know if you've seen it yet. No. Right. So, they they're making a plushy for assistant Terrier month. Uh I think it's in retail therapy here. No. No. I It's It's fine. Yeah. Like, and this is probably what they've done. They've probably taken the design schematics for an older

41:54 Terriermon plush and just put the jacket on. Don't like that. There's nothing. I would have liked a different expression or something a bit more maybe determined or something. Just something to make it not just not just Yeah. Like if the I mean you couldn't put They have like a goodbye pose or I don't know that they I I stopped watching after it took them forever to subtitle them. Yeah, but there's no expression to it. It just looks like any other terrier montage. It's got a new jacket. Yeah, it is. It's just Malibu Stacy's new hat. Yeah. And tie. Well, he is. I just would

42:40 have liked something to distinguish him a bit more, you know, because otherwise we could just get a ter we could get the YouTube's terrimon plush. Put a coat on it and just put a coat on it and be like that's that's that's Terrier Man Hakay. Yeah. Or assistant, not Hakay because that's professor which anyway I'm gonna make I'm gonna make a coat for Yeah. Oh yeah. Um, oh yeah, not got this really cute Lilymon plush that doesn't know how to put down its skirt. Yeah, you gave out to them saying put her skirt down and uh it does not just it just doesn't. It's going to have to be weighted down with like a like a heavy paper weight or something. Stitch it to the boot or something. Yeah. But um it's still

43:26 adorable. And I got my uh tribute CD. Yeah, like it's fine. Like again, I really do think it was only a matter of time before they made this. I just kind of wish it had a different expression. Um, maybe jump back over to chat here. Uh, looks like the extra liking the extra red on Diablo's horns. Millennium modern art is amazing. Uh, going to help me have all three of form have all three forms in play. Ah, yes, my favorite Digimon, Animal Flesh. Most of the art are just VP art references. Yeah, that's true. And that's what I do like about the EX9 pack, but there's just something about meat

44:13 and then that the artwork is just the Agamon sprite with like the icons above its head and it's just something fun about that. I don't know. Um, also not in the pack. What? It said future promo card. Oh, I thought it was a I thought it was part of that store tournament. Wow. Never seen people trade cards before. Globe global globalization. I know. I was only saying to Yami before we went live. It's been a minute since we've actually they're going to be down to I hope so. Yeah. Yeah. And they have a little song like, you know, when you get a musical card, you don't think I Yeah. I don't That would be incredible. I Yeah. I I don't know if they're going to do that. But a Dante a Dante man uh card would be

45:01 fantastic. Um cuz I would play it to the theme song. Oh yeah, Dante. You're at the tournament and everyone else come likes karaoke. I love him so much. Oh, I'm sorry. He's He's so funny. He's built up to be so much. They spend like 25 episodes building him up and he's just a doorstep. He's just They spend like nearly 30 episodes

45:47 building him up and then he's just nuked immediately. Just a doors stopper. That's all he ever was meant to be. Oh, he's such a celebrity. And all the little all I Oh my god, Dante man is here. And then he's just dead. Yeah, you're dead. Turn to stone immediately. H uh that promo card Apollon might be a hint of Olympus 12 deck being a thing. Probably. I wouldn't be shocked if we get like Olympian support for like a time stranger pack, especially now that we're getting cyber sleuth packs. I can see next order being ne well down the road anyway and maybe a proper survive pack and then time stranger stuff

46:34 uh for the Gazimon deserves it. Oh, Bloom Lord Mon was leaked, not released, was it? Okay. Okay. Well, either way, well, there's Ragna Lordmon. Yeah. Yeah. Ragna Lardmon. Lardmon. Yeah. Yeah. That's why I didn't think of that at first because I I always just see the name as Lord. Yeah, Ragna Lordmon is is is a thing. I forgot about that. More Lord. Okay. But there's no base Lordmon. No, there's no base Lord. No, just Lord Man. So, uh, they also put out some wallpapers for the Digimon comic and it's Owen's birthday. Oh, yeah. Hold on. One other thing just before we get into the movie.

47:20 Not that we're in a rush. It's a 40-minute movie. Uh where is it? Li where's the liberator thread? Got some like proper uh so edgy. Yeah. And then in the manga thread, I we got like a mini interview with the with the writers for the comics. Um, and then yeah, we got these wallpapers. Okay. Very long. Well, they're mobile wallpapers. That one looks much longer than a mobile.

48:05 It will adjust to your screen. Yeah. I love they're like they're in a ring and like he's doing the commentating. Um come on in the the uh Yeah, that was fun. All right. We'll cover the we'll cover the interview stuff more like when we get around to the final comic. Yeah. But um yeah, I think we should get into the actual movie. Yeah. So guys, feel free to follow along with us. Uh as as always, the movie will not be on screen for copyright reasons.

48:50 There will be no audio for the movie either. I've just turned desktop audio off. And um yeah, so if you're watching it via the recent Digimon the Movies Blu-ray or you're watching any of the other releases, um feel free to follow along. This is the Japanese version though. So if you are watching in English, certain timestamps or jokes or lines or certain elements may not completely align just because of how uh a video editing works in the localization process. So just be aware of that. Movie and Megan's divorce. I have to get married before the divorce. Awesome. Well, we're starting now

49:37 in three, two, one, and take off. Oh yeah, I got a weird comment on my uh subdub my movies comparison.

50:28 Don't be mad at me. He talks like an old lady. I mean, computers were new, right? So nice in showing you how to send it.

51:13 Wait, wasn't isn't that present like a Power Ranger? Only in the original dub, right? Cuz there ain't no Power Rangers fitting in that box. No. So obviously because Hasbro own the Power Rangers license now and Sabon don't. That joke was changed in the English version. It's it's basically one to one the Japanese. Why is he so much older? Because I I don't know. I think it might just be the art style. Jeez. Sorry. Say that again. I think it might just be the art style. Uh cuz this is only what is this like six months

52:00 after this after the show about when Taichi and Harry first met the other Greymon? No, no, this is after after all of Adventure 99. This is Yeah, this is after this is after the show. This is the Diablo ver uh section. Children's war game. Children are tiny. You see that? Yeah. Giant car. I got my friend the pink Power Ranger. Yeah. Because in the because let me lower down the song so it doesn't come through the mic. So in the

52:45 original version of the dub, Sabon owned Power Rangers and Digimon. for for the western license. So, it was easier to make those jokes. In the redub of the movie, that joke is gone because Hasbro owns Power Rangers. So, you can't They're not allowed to mention them without getting some kind of rights to mention them. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Whereas when Savon owned both, they didn't have to do that. Exactly. Yeah. And in Japanese, she just says, "I got her a present." And Yeah. Even though in the Japanese they could make a super senti reference because they could. Yeah, except there ain't no sent fitting in that box. God, no. That's about the size of a Tererry's chocolate orange.

53:33 Get her a Funko Pop. Even the new dub is different. The redub is staying closer to the Japanese version, so they can't reuse a lot of the dialogue or they're choosing not to. I do miss dub mom and her weird cooking though. Oh yeah, the mention of wheat germ is just what she just happened to be holding an egg when he opened the door. Oh no. What? It's not that egg. Ay egg.

54:21 Yeah, but I think this is like six months after the the final episode or something. They look like teenagers now. It could be like a year. I don't remember. I know we have the I know we have the timeline on Discord somewhere, but yeah. I'm grade school age, too. What grade school? Um primary school. So he's So he's like he's in 12th grade, like six class. Yeah. 12 13ish. Yeah. Yeah.

55:12 playing. What's that called? Like the second one up now. Oh, um summon it. Yeah, coramon into summon. So unless those stickers only went on that meat within the last 30 seconds. Yeah. There's no reason the sticker on the fish say a million should say a million yen.

56:09 Yeah. She has no idea how computers works. ISDN. Remember that? Remember when your computer monitor was nearly bigger than a child? Dialing up. Dial up. Oh, caramel now.

57:28 A speech. Diabolical, huh? He's a diabolical Digimon, huh? This is an interesting case. Yeah. Think lemonade seven up. help you out. Yay. These subs gave Kentamon his concai dialect.

58:16 Yay. The the version we're watching is the version from the new dub just with the Japanese audio track. So that's why it's a lot more HD. Yeah. and not 4 by3. Well, the original the original cinema release was 169 as well, but yeah, it doesn't look like it came from the year 2000. I mean, the shapes of their faces and all of that does look like does look like that. It's a lot clearer. Oh, no. Michael

59:01 Madson. He's just sitting there and you have a booker who sitting cross-legged in front of him. Yeah. his face. You hung out, you silly.

59:49 Behind. Yeah. So, I do because of Dub Mimi's personality, I do kind of I do like the way the Dub handles that scene. It's like, "Hi, it's Mimi. I'm not here. Leave a message. Beep Mimi. It's T beep.

1:00:45 He's posing, aren't they? Woman, come here. Long tea. She say she's not home. But didn't she block his messages? No,

1:01:30 the network interference from Oh, yeah. That's what Yeah. Thank you gaming. Are Digimon movies being released? Including Yeah, we That's when they stopped being released. The Frontier movie did so bad they went, "No more movies for the West." Yeah. Hey, Desmond. Busy with stuff. And now I'm late for the stream being too early. Yeah. Don't get used to these early starts. No. We only started early because we were out of work. Sick. Yeah. Sick. You're so sick. Look at you. I'm dying. I know.

1:02:20 Come on. You can't be mad. This is basically what you do all day. God, it looks it looks so [Applause] just want to play. I like how they're stock footed into the stock footage is cannon. Yeah. Like they can actually see it. Yeah. I don't know if you noticed, but whatever way it was put onto the computer screens,

1:03:09 the it wasn't done well. So, the kabutimon was like bleeding through. Yeah. like uh they took the background off the PNG. They or they more like they tried to take the background off a JPEG rather than a PNG. Yeah. Infirmal. Oh yeah. No. No. Burst mode movie dubbed.

1:03:58 Paper money is hurt. It's super effective. That was not Raymon's voice. The hell happened there? That was not Raymond's voice. remember him during the evolution. And

1:04:43 Terry and then it never happened again. Yeah. Look at that laugh. And it's doing the thing. You ever see a daddy longlegs on the ceiling? Yeah. And it's just like it's having a panic attack. That's what he was doing. I want to d over that though with like the Peter Griffin laugh. [Music] You guys are pretty weak.

1:06:01 All right. Sorry about that. They have a phone.

1:07:10 Why are they looking at us? I don't know. If your phone system is down, please contact your phone company. Pakaroo with his little T-Rex arms. How did this work? Surely this still has

1:07:57 to require the switchboard. Yeah. Was created in 1995. Oh god. Remember text? Yeah. Just read out the text. Yeah.

1:08:42 All right. You just been sitting on that postcard. We need a boss. Yeah. Oh no, it froze. We're good. to Minato, Tokyo 4331. Sterea Oda number 1306. Mr. Tai Chiyagami. Hello. How are you? I'm totally fine. So

1:09:29 fine that I'm like, "Oh my god, someone stopped me." But I think feeling fine is the best feeling to have. I won't forget to get you a souvenir. You're going to hear the full details of my trip once I get back. So wait right there. Okay. Bye now from Mimi. And uh I'll have what she's having. She's too young to be making noises like that.

1:10:24 Where did he get a satellite phone? Um, I'd rather not ask. I remember having to do all that stuff.

1:11:17 Of course, grandma doesn't have a computer. The year 2000 and she's like 80, nine. Oh, dialup noises. Yeah. Oh god, my bones. My bones. Didn't you get caught for Oh, no. That was an elevator noise. The dialup noises. It was. Yeah. Got copyright claimed for dialup noises. Yeah.

1:12:08 Country bumpkins having a clue. Oh yeah. So he's Uncle Al or something in the dub.

1:12:54 The scene is a lot more serious without um [ __ ] uh All my best friends are metal heads playing over it. I say Japanese movies have the better music for the scenes. Yeah, the soundtracks themselves are incredible. But the Japanese like they know how to set a scene. Yeah, I got a weird I was trying that's what I was saying before. I got a comment on my sub versus dub. Sorry. Original dub versus new dub. Yeah. Comparison video. And someone was like, "Oh, I you know, the Japanese version

1:13:41 sounds so weightless and lifeless. It's almost funny." I'm like, "Well, cuz they're not making pop culture references every 5 seconds." Yamato's new best friends. Not onion juice in the dog or like beef jerky shake or something. Yeah, I'm pretty sure the mother offers him onion juice probably.

1:14:32 Yeah, I thought um Kakaroo should be a lot fuzzier in those scenes because they're on crappy countryside dialogue. Yeah. What is it? Really taste the lime, but it's good with the spicy. Also, I'm very I'm I'm very surprised about at two things. Aiming that the computer in the barbers was able to connect to the internet at all considering the switchboard and the NT system is down because of Yeah. Uh Infirmmont.

1:15:18 Also, that the the camera the the computer in the barber shop has a camera. Yeah. Built in. By the looks of it. Oh, even it knows. Nope. Take out the potential angel. And the music

1:16:11 just the people in the bar. What the [ __ ] kind of game are they playing? We're about 20 years out from like people screaming at like World of Warcraft came out in what, 2004? So, we're not that far off. In fairness, a barber shop in the middle of the countryside in Japan might be a bit off, though. Okay, that's that's valid. Uh-oh. Oh, no. He has to poop, doesn't he? I love how the music is stuck. Yeah. Does that mean the music is cannon?

1:16:58 Yeah. And it's playing at a kosher apparently. He's lagging. So was the music. I'm like, wait, is the music is panned? You froze the computer. This is why Sora hates you. All he did was buy her a nice present.

1:17:46 Do what again? I only took a sip of my drink. What? What happened? Probably looks a bit dodgy when you're not holding a drink. Just a can of pink. I know you can't see it. It's just a can of pink lemonade. Was that Lo? Uh, no. No. Do people think it is? I don't think so. Blonde in the classroom. No. No. Not in the classroom on his own. Oh, hold on. Maybe. Let me go to him again. Oh, I No.

1:18:35 Was it Mako somewhere in there? Yeah, you see her later. You didn't have to rate them so well. Yeah.

1:19:21 in the late 90s. Okay. You hold the clock. a middle school student from Taiwan who just hacked the Pentagon. He just says that so casually. Yeah, I fully believe Koshiro hangs out in hacker circles. He kind of gives that impression in this movie.

1:20:10 Even like his satellite phone, even in the dub, it's like it's a military. Yeah. A piece of equipment. How did you get that? I'm saying nothing. Because he's Kio. But more secretive because '90s. Yeah. Kiro can just have his government contracts. Yeah. cordless phone has in the late 90s. But yeah, cordless phones were certainly existed, but they wouldn't have been the norm.

1:21:06 It's hard.

1:22:10 to hear your mail data, guys. Poor Joe. There she is. Rio

1:23:07 Well, that's the other thing. The new double of this doesn't have any of those old songs cuz they just don't have like a thing. Yeah. They're they're Sabon songs. Yeah. There's no Let's kick it up or here we go or anything like that. I hate when it's moving. Something, you know, bugs.

1:24:21 kind of funny. Yeah, you get so many emails that are Digimon can't function. Yeah, because they are just programs at the end of the day. Like, yeah. And I don't mean that in like a cyber sleuth moral quandry kind of way about whether Digimon are living things or or just programs for people to use. But they do rely on that. Yeah. Whether that's Indian or not.

1:25:10 magic [ __ ] rape. He was able to just he reverse sod. Yeah. See Koshro Pakaroo, you just don't love your Digimon enough. Mhm. Why you can't climb into a computer? Hey Corvid. Hey Corvid. This part is really nice. Oh yeah. No, this scene is

1:25:56 just Someone give that kid a whistle. She just watched him float in the

1:26:42 computer trying to hand him some potatoes and he just disappeared. Where is your Omega one? In the other room. Oh, I just climbed into the computer. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's your one, not their one. You see, he doesn't have the the dual

1:27:27 press symbols. Even though he's the one that should. So, like, what determines how an Omega gets that or not? Yeah. The artist at the time. Or is it like is it like a Royal Knight Omegamon designation? Like this Omegamon is an Omegamon, but it's not the Royal Knight Omegamon. Yeah. But the Royal Knight Omegamon has the crest fusion. They didn't think of it yet. Yeah. Well, do you know what? Maybe they just shouldn't have gone with it then. It's a nightmare for

1:28:14 continuity. Uh oh. He's going to lag him. Yeah, I forgot about that.

1:29:10 beach. Connection terminated.

1:30:05 Okay. Back. anal horror game. They did a good job of making Diabon creepy in a this Digimon feels wrong kind of way. Oh no, Joe. Jesus. Mimi came back at Garu. She went full gangaroo. So did her dad. Let's be fair.

1:31:07 I still find it kind of funny though. the mom just sitting there with her cake. The kids that are dressed like they're almost like monks. Yeah. And they're just sitting outdoors on a computer. It's like the internet barely works in fill in tailmon's ears. Oh yeah. Taii, I'm sorry. Thanks for the present. I mean, that was all on her. He gave her a nice hair clip and she's like, it's like the, you know, you don't like my hat, [ __ ] Yeah. It's like that, you know, thing on Twitter. It's like that's a whole different sentence, you know.

1:31:53 Yeah. Like that that argument is Sora's fault and nobody else's. Um, got you a nice hair clip. I can't believe you hate my hat. That's it. Yeah, that was the argument and she did nothing wrong. Dodged a bullet if you ask me. Yeah, she's Yamato's problem now. So yeah, you can have her. Good luck on your anniversary, Yamato. Can't buy her anything cuz she'll just assume you hate something else she has. Lemonade is weird. Not bad. It's not bad. I prefer other pink lemonades cuz

1:32:40 it still has the weird, you know, when you drink Seven Up and it's just too cold and you could It's like an instant burp feeling. Yeah. Yeah. It still has that and that's kind of getting rid of the taste of the pink. You can wear both. Yeah. For that kind of um YouTube hit a comment again. Oh, it did. Tie. Jeez. Um, sorry. Desmond said Willis. Now whole devil's pot of tea is stuck in my [Music] head. Dub time. No.

1:33:31 you on holiday. Oh, look who. So, we're not going to watch the dub version tonight. We may circle back around to it later. Um, but we're actually going to do our we're going to talk about it. We're going to do our little review and scoring segment. Mhm. And then we're going to take a quick break and when we come back, we're going to catch up on Liberator column, whatever one or two that we might have missed before we go into Liberator chapter 13 on next Wednesday. Yeah. Oh, we And then we go back to Adventure 2020 this weekend. Are you excited? Not really.

1:34:24 Right, Liberator time. Yeah, that Liberator will be back uh in full next week. Uh because we're done with the 99 now with this movie out of the way. We're done with the kids adventures like in that era. Yeah. Like we won't see them again in 02. When we see them again in 02, they're going to be a little bit older. Yeah. So, this era of Tai Chi and everyone is done. Um, you know, as a kid, I thought Sora was a jerk for that fight. Yeah, she is. And Mimi has pink hair. She does. Well, I put on my pink hair for zero, too. That could be fun. I'm either blonde or pink-haired lately. So, yeah, lately

1:35:10 over the past couple of years. Right. So, um I suppose I know you kind of joked before we started like that. Not good. It feels like we've seen this recently because of 2020. They did it twice in a row. Yeah. But having gone back now to the the like the actual original war game. Yeah. How do you feel like do you still feel like that or No, I still love it for what it is and the animation is so easy on the

1:35:56 eyes. I love it. So easy to watch. Yeah. Like it's like it's really quick. Oh yeah. Like 40 40 minutes in the blink of an eye. It's two episodes long. Yeah. Like real realistically it's two episodes long. Um taking out intros and outros and commercial breaks. Yeah. Yeah. But no, I I like I wouldn't I don't get nostalgia for it obviously. I hadn't I didn't see it at all. Right. Yeah. Um, but there's, you know, there's still a nostalgia there for that kind of animation and, you know, more handdrawn

1:36:42 looking. Even if it is computerenerated, it still has that handdrawn feel to it. It's not overly produced kind of like modern anime. Yeah. Like when like Toy Story and all those came out at first, I was like, "Oh, that's cool." Yeah. And then everything was that animation. I was like, "Everything is so sterile looking. M nothing has character anymore cuz they're all so perfect all the time. You never get those weird frames anymore or people kind of looking melted for a second or you know Yeah. Like I love going back and watching like something from a VHS tape. It's so much easier to watch. I get that from this as well even though obviously it's been remastered and Yeah. everything. Yeah. Like there's

1:37:28 this it isn't like a HD re like it's Yeah. Like the visuals of it have been ups AI probably AI upscaled. Yeah. But it doesn't lose any of the charm through that. Like it hasn't been fixed. Yeah. Like when Taichi's face goes all bizarre looking. It stays bizarre looking and he doesn't he isn't reshaped into a normal face again. Yeah. Animation flubs are still there like that you just pointed out. Yeah. Overall, it is just kind of feel good. Yeah. Like, well, I mean, that's the whole point. That's how we get Omegaon is that everyone feeling hope or whatever. Yeah.

1:38:15 the wishes of like all these kids around the world, which you know leans into the children's war game uh title card that comes up at the start even though it's Bokura no war our war game the title card still says children's because it's the children all around the world. Yeah. Like it's ours but by ours that means like Taichi is saying it's ours. Yeah. You know, and I just love like at the time obviously that's how the internet worked. Oh yeah. But just seeing all the lag and and then Koshiro going, "Wait, it lagged us. I'm going to send him all those emails. That was [ __ ] perfect." Yeah. Like it's been a long time since I actually sat

1:39:01 down and watched this. So like there's like noises and sound effects that you're just like I don't remember when that was real. It wasn't just, you know, I don't want I don't want to be like kids these days the kids these days, but kids these days. Yeah. They have no idea how lucky they have it. Like we're always talking about how the computer or how the internet was just in a corner of the room and and and you could just walk away from it and the internet didn't exist until you sat back down in that corner. Yeah. And and now you bring the internet with you to the toilet. Yeah. Internet is everywhere. Everything has internet. your [ __ ] washing machine and your fridge have internet these days. Yeah. Isn't there a fridge that you can play Skyrim on or something? Uh, well, they can play Doom on everything.

1:39:46 Um, probably install Doom on your mouse there and play it. So, that uh yeah, like you can get TVs built in or monitors built into everything and that internet is everywhere. This is from a time when the internet was in one corner and like Tai Chi gave that computer a whack and turned it off and that was it. They [ __ ] everything up. It wasn't just quick on your phone. All right, battling battle happening still. Right, we're okay. Back in the day before pop-ups are bad was coming on. Yeah.

1:40:32 [Music] Yeah. Oh, and pop-ups could free literally freeze your old computer. I love like Oh, like like computers and the internet like it's still so new, but like Hikari seems to know more about it than Taichi does. Like that generational shift is already there. Yeah. This four years between them two and he's like struggling to write this email. He doesn't know how his computer works. Like he's typing out his email like one press of a key of the keyboard at a time. It's like watching my mother type, you know, and she just wanders up and goes, "Oh, you need to do this to send it." Yeah. It's the same with little kids, you know, cuz they start with that. Yeah. Like my niece was like what, two, and

1:41:18 she could already figure out log into Netflix and all this stuff on a tablet and Yeah. And I was still there going, "Wait, wait, no, we have to do this. You you skipped a step. I was so used to a full-on computer and not this little like fidgety tablet. My first popup actually a taught me words I was not old enough to hear then and b ruined s club 7 for me. Oh do we want to know those stories? I'm one of them die uh recently enough. Yeah. Um, you know, so it is it is like it is

1:42:03 a movie that is that lives in its time period. Yeah. Like literally product of its time in the best way possible. Not in a Yeah. Not in a you need a Goldberg at the start to give you a warning. Yeah. Not in a Yeah. This is probably problematic by today's standards, but like it's more of a, you know, when people are like, you know, kids are like looking at like retro stuff like, "Oh, I wish I had like an 80s or '9s bedroom." And you're like looking going '90s bedrooms didn't look like that. And '8s bedrooms were [ __ ] brown. Everything was brown and beige in the 80s. Yeah. Ashtrays everywhere. Was not this like neon [ __ ] like what? Uh, you know, like,

1:42:51 yeah, we all had posters everywhere and, you know, we had the little freaking CRT TV VHS player. Uh, but like it was not like this perfect neon cyberpunk [ __ ] utopia. Yeah. That it's painted as today. But if you want to see something that is very much of the early 2000s, this movie is steeped in it. Ah, deep fakes. Even back then. Even back then, deep fakes were a thing. Um, but yeah, no, this is a this is a movie that like as stuck in the year 2000 as it is,

1:43:40 it has I think it has aged incredibly well. Yeah. Because at the end of the day, the time frame isn't important. It is the story and how it uses the elements around it to tell that story. Like at the time like it's these days going why did they have to go on such a search for why was it so hard for them to find a working computer connected to the internet? Like they have no idea because they're in the middle of the countryside in the year 2000. Yeah. Like we understand that we live in the we we're in the bare bit of countryside beside the city and it's hard to get hard enough to get good internet here. Yeah. But we do like you imagine if it's a miracle we can put this together every week. Can you imagine if this was the early

1:44:26 2000? I tried to do this on dialop. Could you imagine? We might have been watching that movie in 360p squinting at the CRT and it would have been on a VHS. But um our last housemate lived out here like grew up out here. Yeah. And they only had, you know, like we would have like the the seven or 10 channels or whatever. We had like RT one and two, BBC one and two, Sky 1, MTV Channel 4, Channel 4, Sky News, Nickelodeon, whatever that was at that. Yeah, they had the four. They had the RD1 and two TV3. That was it. And they're like like

1:45:13 we're 10 minutes if even from the city. Oh yeah. But the difference. Yeah. So I can imagine like if you were to go back 25 years and look at how the infrastructure of your telephony network uh is set up. It is probably night and day. Even if it's still not great by by modern standards. By modern standards. Yeah. Like we've got pretty shitty internet, but compared to back then, this is Look, I'd rather not be doing this on ISDN. Mhm. Right. ISDN.

1:46:00 like watching Koshiro like pull up the internet settings and put in the subnet mask, the 255 255 stuff and all of that. I'm like used to help people do that for a living. Yeah. Like this this is a movie that like I can still thoroughly enjoy the story and the plot, but the aesthetic is like I was there. M and I think that's probably a lot of why this movie is still held in such high regard compared to other Digimon movies, right? Uh even compared to Hurricane Touchdown or like Zero to the Beginning or Kisa, which are just nostalgia grabs, let's be fair, right? But even that's even the two tamers

1:46:47 movies or any of those, right? I think a lot of the reason War Game is still held in such high regard is a there is now 25 years of nostalgia behind it, but that nostalgia is also carried by a lot of I was there. Yeah. Because everything is so grounded. As fantastical as Kaiju on the internet battling it out is and emails causing lag and all of this stuff, as fantastical as a lot of that is, there is still such a groundedness to it that is it is still relatable. Yeah. Like if you were alive at the time, you understand those problems they had getting that computer to work. And the modern equivalence would be like we

1:47:32 joke about all the time like when you know when Nation X sets off the EMPs, what are we all going to do then? Yeah, you know, all the technology is just dead at that point. What are we going to do then? You know, and then this all digital future that we are coming into in terms of like companies no longer making physical media or making physical media harder to get or only putting some of the content on the physical part and you have to download the rest. Yeah, there's a very livedin element of this movie that I don't think other Digimon [Music] movies. Tamers tried. Yeah. See, the reason I find Tamers itself, like the

1:48:17 aesthetic of Tamers so cringe is because I was alive at the time and I know what it's trying to pull off. Yeah. And it's not doing it. Yeah. Well, like Tamers tried to be this livedin, grounded uh take on Digimon. It tried to be gritty. Yeah. And it tried to be gritty and the Matrix on top of it. Yeah. And that but this doesn't this just says what if you and I chat bought a monster on the internet. Yeah. Like what? Like how do you even do like what websites are you traveling to? Like what Gaia online ass like infrastructure are you logging on to to be able to chase Diablo on across the

1:49:02 internet like that? Yeah. Like the fact that he just showed up at like seeing this as like like a Newgrounds flash animation. That's what it looked like. Like it was cuz he was he seemed to be following the progress of this egg. Yeah. So did a whole bunch of people. Now with him it was like his little hacker network of this random kid who just hacks into the Pentagon, you know, no problem. Yeah. Um but um generally there seemed to be a place where the general public on the internet could go to look at this egg. Yeah. And then attached and they were very aware of that. But then like the internet starts seeing the stock footage and when the evolutions are happening and like

1:49:48 Kosro like one of the screens was just this orange and black thing and on one side and then you've Aguman and Tenton on the other side. Yeah. And there was it was like there was data going back and forth between the windows like a progress bar. But then the other screen just seemed to be like the battle happening in real time. Yeah. It was like there were cameras in there. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, wait, what? And then the internet is just able to follow along and then there's stock footage pop-up windows. Yeah. And then we learn that the stock footage is cannon because Infirmon is seeing that and he's like and he nopes out of that. Yeah. And then the [ __ ] Braveheart music, it's like gets it gets skipping and get

1:50:34 it's like there's a record stuck. Oh no, we disconnected. Oh, no. Are we back? I think so. Here we go. No, no. Oh, no. We're good. We're good. We're good. It's just chat. Okay. That's just chat disconnected. Okay. Okay. That's not the stream. Okay. Yeah, because OBS didn't give the popup. Okay. So, just chat disconnected for whatever reason. Um, yeah, there's a real like way and but that's the bit I don't want to think about for more than 5 seconds because then I question everything. Yeah. Like that's where your disbelief of it like obviously have some

1:51:22 disbelief because there are children in the in the internet, monsters in the internet. Let me just let me let me just uh crawl into the screen here. Yeah. I'm gone. Hi Um but uh yeah like you have to have obviously your movie disbelief for that but uh Corvid says uh to me groundedness should only be one color uh on the story palette. Tamers tried to make it the entire color scheme. Yeah. also says, uh, oh yeah, [Music] um, when my parents built our house ages ago, they had to have a phone line run out to even have a landline, and even then, we were not that far from

1:52:10 Lilyan says, "Looking back on it, I wonder if Yamato and Takura's grandma was an evil Digimon trying to f trying to foil them." No, she was just she was just an elderly woman. Yeah, like she's she's so elderly that the phone was complicated and this phone was complicated. That's probably still like she took it off one ear to put it to the other in the middle to and then she just said, "Oh yeah, I'll get him and hung up the phone." Yeah, she's I think she's a bit scenile to be honing to take care of her, not the other way around. Oh yeah. Never really liked the plot, says Corporate. The strong suit of this movie was the animation. Omega's entire sequence was epic. all of his aid strength. You could almost feel. Yeah, there is like a visceralness to it thanks to the animation. There is just something that

1:52:56 grips you. Um, uh, lady for the dub, uh, coach talking to Taibo Wallace still cracks me up. He's only our age, but he's already taking classes at Colorado State. To which Tai replies, so what? I'm in junior high school and I take classes in junior high school. Oh gee, creepy old lady. [Music] Um, not really. Taichi was trying to tell her, "Please tell them it's me." Okay, I'll tell them. Hangs up. Mhm. Yeah, that's like he's talking and it doesn't occur to her that if she takes the phone away from her ear to put it to the other ear, she's not going to be able to hear them and hear him. No, I feel like that phone is the latest

1:53:42 technology in the house. Yeah, even the even the telly looked like it came from the 50s, which is just great because it does like it it paints a picture of the movie is almost a time capsule. Yeah. Like realistically that movie is almost a time capsule. Um, sub or dub. I love this movie. I would love to see it sub. Hey, get the Blu-ray for Digimon the Movies. You get a HD remaster visually of all three original movies. you get a brand new dub closer to the Japanese version and you get the Japanese version uh with uh you know it was subtitled and as an
