136: Tales of the Underworld – May 4th

What’s this? A Yubcast episode? That’s odd. Well, we are back. Let’s do this. #StarWarsAnimation is peak Star Wars. Episode Transcript: Jamey: Hello and welcome to ucast your Star Wars cartoon podcast. My name’s Jamie and I wish you were drunk. Matt: And my name is Matt and I’m already on my way out. Happy May the fourth, Jamie? Jamey: Yeah, happy May the fourth to you and to your lovely dog that is sitting next to me. This is a special episode, um, for many reasons. One is, it is May the fourth, and the second reason is that we are in the same place at the same time. So this is the first time, uh, we’ve been seeing each, seeing each other in a while. So, uh, we are attempting to record, uh, together. So, uh, please give us, uh, a little grace if there are any audio hiccups or weirdness or don’t screw you. Matt: Yeah, I don’t wanna hear it. Um, yes, we are in the same room. We are sort of at opposite ends of the room ’cause we were trying to work out the technical difficulties of recording in the same room. But Jamie came out [00:01:00] to the East Coast to visit for a little bit and it just so happens to be May 4th while he is out here. And I swear we didn’t plan it that way, but. He’s been out here for a few days and we’ve been doing all sorts of Star Wars shit. So Jamie, did you do any Star Wars this week? Jamey: Well, yes, I’ve been enjoying, uh, your basement, that is pretty much all Star Wars. Um, all the helmets you have up the posters, the big area with all the toys, um, and then seeing the figurine, or not the figurines, but the, those, um. Live Lifesize, um, statues, I guess you’d call them, of, uh, mannequins or whatever you know of, uh, jar Jar Darth Mall. Yoda, Anakin and Wado. And then I also did bring you some stuff that I, some Star Wars stuff that we had that my kids didn’t want anymore, that I had promised to send you a few years ago. [00:02:00] This time I just put it through it in the suitcase and brought it over. Yeah. Um, and how about you? Matt: Well, once we got here, um, we watched that documentary together of, there’s a disturbance in the force about the making of the holiday special. I think we both really, really enjoyed that. Yeah. Jamey: Wow. That, that was a, that was, that’s something I might not have normally watched, but that was, it was really good and it was very insightful. Matt: Yeah. And then, then of course, um. Tales of the Underworld came out today, but we watched the first two episodes in a theater in Fortnite because, um. Jamie knows how to do that. I do not know how to do that, but Jamie found the theater in Fortnite. We watched the first two episodes the night before and then woke up and watched all six episodes with my son, um, this morning. Jamey: Yeah, it was, um, yeah, that was quite, quite an experience. We’re trying to watch it at first, we’re just watching it or watching the character [00:03:00] watch it, and then I find the full screen toggle and then we get to hear. People shooting blasters, like in the game, just playing as we’re watching it. So it was kind of like, I don’t know if there’s anything we can do about this. I, I, I later found out that there’s other areas where you could watch it, where there would probably be less sounds, but, oh, well, you know, we learned and it was funny. It was funny and, but, you know, we were so engrossed in the story. Yeah. We barely even noticed it after a while. Matt: Yeah. It faded pretty fast for me and. I actually thought the blasting blasters were part of the background at one point in the show, but I had to remind myself, no, no. We’re in a theater inside Fortnite and a bunch of, a bunch of children are shooting at Stormtroopers right now. Um, so, but it’s, it’s fun. Like Fortnite is really invaded my house in a big way, and right now they’ve got their Star Wars season going. Um, so the kids are really playing that a lot. I have never played Fortnite for a second, but [00:04:00] my kids and Jamie seemed to enjoy it a lot. Jamey
