Welcome, frens, to the weekly Movie Night. We might think about getting another title when we have to remake the thread, since we have so many things other than "a movie" going on.
It's wonderful that there's still a bunch of new stuff coming out every week. I even found out about another album from HeyLasFas from 2014 that I found out about a little while ago. I'll try making an album a full week's playlist one of these days.
There's an hour an a half of pre-stream content, roughly, so I'll go ahead and start it.
Pony of the week is... Celestia.
In ReBoot news, we've finished with the Daemon storyline, and we're starting to deal with the two (2) Bobs here. That's a thing now. And there's no horrific disaster happening for once, the characters can focus on interacting with each other like earlier in the show. Lower-stakes vibes is a good tonal shift to have once in a while.
ReBoot Episodes44 (v4.2.1) -
My Two Bobs - 25 November 2001 (Canada)
With the Daemon threat gone, a second Bob appears in Mainframe, leaving Dot with a difficult decision as to which one to marry. Meanwhile Matrix and "New Bob" deal with a game as "Glitch Bob" questions if he is in fact a copy.
Cultural references: The beginning is somewhat similar to the classic series The Brady Bunch. The game is a parody of the Pokémon games, with the player being a parody of a Dragon Ball Z character. When Matrix goes to attack the user Bob shouts out, "stop trying to hit him and hit him." This is a reference to the Matrix. The Pokémon style game they are playing is called "Pantsu Hebi X", a potentially R-rated title as it literally translates to "Underwear (or trouser) Snake X" in Japanese.
45 (v4.2.2) -
Life's A Glitch - 25 November 2001 (Canada)
'Glitch-Bob' thinks about separating Glitch from himself to return to his normal self. Matrix, AndrAIa, Enzo, Phong, and "New Bob" deal with a game that has a familiar User.
Cultural references: Hack and Slash are ReBooted into two soda/soft drink cans called "POKE" and "PEEK", two commands used in the BASIC programming language. In addition, Hack and Slash are red and blue cans of soda. Poke (a word similar to Coke) is on the red can, while Peek (in reference to Pepsi) is on the blue can. Phong reboots into a container of Yogurt, and he speaks in the sentence structure and voice of Yoda, or more specifically, of Yogurt, the Yoda parody character from Spaceballs. There is also a reference to Star Trek – when Glitch-Bob is trying to remove Glitch from himself he steps into a teleporter from Star Trek. Prior to this, on his first attempt to separate himself and Glitch, Bob uses what looks like the telepods from The Fly. As he steps in, Bob assumes the same pose as Jeff Goldblum in the film. When his final attempt fails and he is frozen, Bob assumes the pose of Han Solo frozen in carbonite. There are other Star Wars references, with little Enzo pod racing and big Enzo's doll looking like Darth Vader, as well as the "Use the sauce" line.
