the internet is calling you toast new mexico innings fun we got you back we got you back yeah a technology take one line yeah no kidding your stance / sorry sorry I talked about prime rib and ruin the show it happens to the best of us so where are we at are we all introduced yeah we're good okay great um so now that we've got zombie and prime rib out of our system which we can focus on the arts and the sciences uh we're going to get a little culture today but because this is the crave cast it's gonna be a little bit twisted so we'll talk acha Shakespeare Star Wars the failing of grant but either failed to take coal old Oh God there yes okay yes you ready Mark Zuckerberg and plant its poop literally I love although posted I love it when you talk eric is it does actually exactly so frizzy it's disturbing it's like a Cylon rap and I'm kind of like trying to think of what music would go well with this so anyone out there in the chat room if you've got some music suggestions maybe we'll do a remix of this later into a wrap it's all going to be arts and culture no matter what we do so even our mess-ups can be turned into art this is all art this isn't art installation called frozen now we'll just have to let it go oh no that's earworm okay so listen who wants to take away I turned off my video okay oh this is real great right yeah now you're a disembodied voice just like how I I turned off I turned off my video can you hear me now yeah it's much better yeah okay so I turned off my video so why don't you just take it away with the the Star Wars meet Shakespeare story there Bonnie I was you know I purposely was trying to bring in the book and recite some but I'm I am I ambach pentameter 'he's a little rusty so i didn't want to ruin Shakespeare for everyone but basically there's these it's a series of books from quirk books and it's Star Wars reimagined as Shakespeare plays so so far they already got their original trilogy out of the way so those are available right now you can get those at your fine booksellers your mom and pop bookstores or wherever you choose to shop for books but the most recent one and we always the cover reveal because quirk books love cnet they love crave so they gave us the cover reveal for the Phantom Menace so now they're hitting the prequels um and from what I can tell from the description of the book and from what I've been given like samples and such it's going to be kind of like Romeo and Juliet so Anakin and padmé are Romeo and Juliet in this and but it's it's you know that Threepio Threepio were fourth out there Threepio was their tagline which is great cuz when you think about c-3po kind of sounds like he's already in a Shakespearean play uh it's that lovely whiny British uh which I love in Shakespeare it-it's you know when you can be sorry I don't know go ahead the structure is very similar yeah there's the high plateau plan there any when you break down Star Wars it's very Shakespearean there's tragedy there's the two jesters which I guess would be consider c-3po and r2d2 there are Rosencrantz and Guildenstern of star wars in a way the moon is my mother this stuff is my father what is my shoe yeah it looks you English degree kicking in my thermometer where is my dad um so anyway these are great books have great illustrations inside of them as well and and in a way you know I feel like classes like in high school maybe this would be a great way to get kids interested like a gateway drug into Shakespeare because everything is in iambic pentameter everything is very classically written as a Shakespeare play in those books and they're going to do all the prequels I don't know if they're going to hit the Clone Wars I think that would be great obviously we have more Star Wars movies coming our way so that means more Shakespeare coming our way I personally would love the holidays special mention here talking a tragedy man a tragedy yeah I would love to see that but I I think I may be the only one voting for that I have to do a change org position to get that we've done but we'll see so I think the Phantom of men discover is gorgeous with the Elizabethan rough and keeping with the stuff she wears in the movie what is this rumor about um the samuel l jackson part of it Oh apparently his character is pretty fun to read yeah I've heard that I haven't I haven't read the book yet because it's not in my hot little hands but it is I i do believe his mace windu is hilarious I'm excited to read these books and actually I'm excited to see cosplay from these books I would love to see some Star Wars cosplayers do cosplay costumes of these covers so do check them out we have stories about all of the books on cnet com and we also have the book trailer for the original trilogy Shakespeare where they actually do a Shakespearean play excerpt from it in shakespearean garb and it's it's hilarious so do check it out the the author's online to indo i can't pronounce his last name is like dough sure sure i'm so sorry and but he's on twitter as well so you can always like attack him on Twitter and say hey you should do holiday special for Bonnie and quirk books is great for all that stuff and hopefully they'll do some giveaways and promotions so if you're following quirk books on Twitter that's a good way to find out about more of their books but anyway so that's coming I think it's coming out i want to say august by could be wrong it's april ok so i knew was in a month um so that's kind of good inviting jam i defied in chance so it is coming out soon so do you check it out ah and yeah I love that I mean there's a thing without star wars there's Star Wars stuff everywhere there's Star Wars fandom and everything you could think of and it was just only a matter of time before Shakespeare got hit so yay thanks quirk books thanks for making me feel cultured while reading about droids in the desert speaking I am back pentameter ok so I have an update i think eric is restarting he's restarting his computer calling us back that's like his theme song now like how you aren't even smaller screen liked chikis maybe we should do the next episode on tinder I don't know snapchat I I did some experiments on tinder they didn't go well they weren't great for my marriage so OH maybe we'll save those there's a reason it's called tinder yes where there's smoke there's fire hey there you go there yeah so did we get through taking your Star Wars where I'm moving on moving on so the next thing the next thing in the in the sciences category for this month was a apparently there was a rumor going around at the beginning of the year that I wrote about and it's been going around apparently since 1970 something and continues to come back which is that there is a alignment that's always just about to happen around the beginning of the year of the Earth Jupiter and Pluto that will magically make gravity stop for a couple of seconds and I it made the rounds like last year and made the rounds even more strongly this year during the holiday season it was like january fourth i believe it was supposed to happen and yet again it did not happen and it turns out are you sure well i don't know did it anyone anyone was it like four in the morning and we're all sleeping or was it just like that one time we're at a bar and we think gravity's gone for a second and then it comes back i mean that's not one day that we all could dunk you know i'm still waiting for that we feel a little white we feel a lot lighter I don't know see my gravity issues are usually it seems like there's too much gravity like when I get to the top of the stairs yeah stuff like that but I haven't noticed being lighter yeah well thanks okay so it's supposed to be a prolonged thing or just like a really fast yeah just like a couple of seconds and as you could see like NASA tweeted it clearly so it must be true must be kind of a big deal with NASA cuz they don't you know they don't yeah that any BS yeah I mean that that's it that's a doctor tweet and okay what what this what this reminds me of is one time when I was a young lad I worked with somebody who was the best liar that I ever met and what I learned for this person is the best lies dad um it was a her and what yeah but what I learned is the best lie the best hopes is always in the details and then this is very detailed it's a very specific alignment of Jupiter and Pluto and it actually dates back to a British astronomer who made a joke on on a british show back in the 70s I and it comes back around every now and then on the internet and now it seems to become an annual thing and it got I got a fair amount of play around the inner tubes this this year but yeah I mean I pride and I you know I tried to jump I would like God in the right position in the elevator and I figured you know I could go through do some willy wonka style awesomeness but it didn't happen oh that's the thing you know I mean I think this is one of those things everyone knows can't be true but at the same time you want to believe it's so badly that you start considering maybe maybe maybe I know everything I was just loiter a second ago every time I hear something about this is the year that certain planets line up I'm like oh here we go here we go like every single sci-fi doomsday fantasy Wicca movie I've ever seen that's about lining up planets and we're supposed to be able to like time travel and skip over gravity and hang out at Stonehenge or something so our tuesdays I like to cover each day today alright think of every buffy episode like it's just like one of those moments are like okay what disasters thing happens when all the planets lined up at once and gravity's supposed to go away for three seconds like what Hellmouth is gonna open up but nothing happens it's a wormhole just to work um well let's move on to what you might consider the main course of course perhaps uh Michael why don't you tell us what you wrote about with regards to this fine piece of art using the word main course with this story I don't know if that's a wise idea special lunchtime edition yeah yeah it's a portrait of Mark Zuckerberg that was made out of poop and it's on displaying a gallery in New York called the hole which is sort of equally disturbing and the artist's name is katsu and he sort of has a thing out for Zuckerberg he back in 2013 he put posters all over New York City and they were pictures of Zuckerberg with a black eye so this is his latest shot at him and I actually just found out just before today's crave cast that you could buy this painting for 4,500 dollars so wow what a bargain for a piece of crap yeah yeah literally no offense yeah and oddly enough there was their work there are two paintings in the exhibit and I made out of feces and the other one is of a dog so no word on why that is is a human feces dog feces like is it the artist own yeah wow that's putting yourself in your art definitely Wow yeah Eric I think there's a question in the live stream is this the first piece of art that we know has been made out of no no there is one guy who like like crap dinner like film cans or something yeah I think that's not here is that just Tuesday yeah could have been a critic I don't know yeah now that I think using your own bodily fluids is a very like historic mainstay of artistic endeavor I think a lot of artists especially like I know a lot of artists have used their own blood in their paintings oh yeah feces it's just it seems like a weird art investment because I don't know what fees would smell like after many many years hung up on a wall I'm assuming he roses get it framed with like glass frame like does that stuff like does the art deteriorate after a while because you have chemicals in your I don't know everyone's everyone's different of what they what leaves their body but I would imagine any art that's made with something that's biodegradable would not last that long I saw installation was it a fixative or something okay that makes it and I don't okay I saw an installation one time that was made entirely of fortune cookies and they sprayed that with a fixative but it did start to smell it did start to rot and it got filled with rats oh so it's a more of a kinetic art piece then yeah yeah that's an ongoing I mean we are talking about a lot of fortune cookies it was a mammoth pile yeah the feces of medium is cheap at least I don't know I've never I mean is there are their feces art stores on etsy like I feel like this is something we should explore like what does this mean i think that were limited run art is another day or two yeah i just i don't know like how do you display this art do you burn a lot of incense do you die is this something you hang in your bathroom so it just sort of goes with the territory under a sign that says freshly square don't know it does have built-in LED lights though to what part of it i leave it i think yeah that's we the mediums described as human feces with LED light frame so oh so the light frame okay I see it must have a lot of fun to get that out the friend is lit so it's not strategically placed sparkles or anything oh if only oh it has this but you know it it's pretty good yeah did he do this with a brush or is it hopefully not finger painting he's really hard to get ahold of yeah he's not a big fan of the internet and people like Mark Zuckerberg as you can tell so I wasn't able to actually find him or a website or anything about him but I did hear from the gallery who told me the asking price is 4500 zakar berg commented on it do you know that anybody's i don't know i don't think so i don't see when you get to that when you're that famous that people are making crappy art literally of you there wait what kind of PR message do you normally have pre written for that yes not it's not something I don't know like I I think the arts actually it's really well done and I'm wondering how long it took him to create that piece of any questions I don't know I'm just so arts interesting to me what if he is what media to use like I I just what was the soom the inspiration was he just really doesn't like Zuckerberg but uh it's a great piece of art I mean the fact they made I'm smiling instead of frowning I mean that's a great image yeah the hoodie the shading on the hooding is perfect so I don't oh I believe that is technically a the word as shiza eating grin so this is shirt work I've been waiting your whole life to say that haven't you ever since I was 12 yes I hope I getting you yeah what's your title of it it's a shiz ahead oh you know I'm English oh oh right cuz we can't say just yeah it's not he's not a hit it's right but with the real word yeah yeah yeah so just do you know if this artist has plans to make a whole series of Zuckerberg and different bodily mediums or is it I don't think so I you know I don't know that you know the rest of his exhibit is actually kind of interesting he's he did a series that is a take off of the Maryland series that he did with drones warhol's Maryland series that he did he painted with drones and there's actually a like a smoke tube in the in the gallery and that just cloaks the entire gallery and smoke and that's called vape he's done lots of drone graffiti pieces before there's a piece of him looking kind of like the Terminator robot that he calls selfie with different backgrounds so it's a pretty interesting exhibit so when he's when you say drone are he's not painting with drones he's painter drums are the the subject of his art or does he know know you're like he's painting with them he uses drugs so when you said drone graffiti art I'm just now picturing rogue drones doing graffiti and like all the like police graffiti people are like pissed off you could get that really high that way I just think you see them jumping Shepherd I just thinking how many drones are working for shepard fairey right now like I just like this is our the banksy drone brigade like I think we're on to a whole new art movement so thank you for bringing that up his name again Michael katsu tattoo kk TS something I found something on it oh let's see what this proceed with caution to drone paintings oh ok here we go so it's drone I'll see this is this is gonna be the future of graffiti Andre the Giant as a whole of drones I love this this is awesome it's pretty yeah oh my god tagging is gonna be to a whole new level if we can use drones to tag Wow oh so the the other bit of artsy science fictiony awesomeness that's coming up I'm very excited about this and Bonnie you've kind of been covering this moving into the mandatory TV section of the creative cast of The X Files could be coming back yeah so uh Fox executives said last week that they're in talks which can mean anything I mean this is Hollywood so intoxicating me bass met at a bar and just said hey we should do the x-files again that was good show but they're in touch with Chris Carter coming back who is the show creator to bring back the x-files with the original some of the original cast like we know that the lone gunman unfortunately died so hopefully they'll come back in Ghost form or droid for more some but I would love to see an all replicate lone gunman cast but anyway David Duchovny says he's on board David to companies word cuz he's got some other stuff going on he's got a new show called Aquarius on NBC that's coming out where it's a detective show based in the 60s were there chasing down the Manson Family before the tape murders so he's doing that but I think that's just a miniseries I don't know if that's a full flow like full-fledged actual show that they're going to meet multiple seasons for um and he just wrote a book called holy cow cuz that's what author less what actors do when they're not acting their writing I was that about yeah I haven't read it yet it's a novel but you know he's promoting it pretty heavily right now so he's on the press junket circuit so he's been saying over and over again yeah I'd love to do X Files again Gillian Anderson as we know was in the fall she's a return to Hannibal and she's got a new I think she's got a war and peace miniseries that she'll be doing for BBC and she's also a novelist which we've covered unseen it because she writes sci-fi novels for a new imprint that she's been working on so they're all busy they've got plenty of stuff going on however the company did stay when he said you know yeah I'd love to do X Files that he's not really committed to doing a full season he'd probably do what he did at the end of X Files where he just showed up for half a season or he was a cameo or something so you know he does want to be on board Gillian Anderson has said on a Nerdist podcast that she would totally do it so I think it's possible I mean if we're getting Twin Peaks again and we're getting X Files again I'm trying to think of all the other shows around that time like I'd love to see Pretender come back I'd love to see Millennium come back that's another Chris Carter show actually millennium yeah um so family matters hahaha that would be good yeah we did it's called too many cooks oh sorry uh yeah so I would love to see XY let's go back and there's plenty of fodder for X Files there's plenty of stories they could be covering and we sort of saw that with fringe because everyone thought French was kind of x-files e in a way but i would i would love to see that so and by the the comments section and just I when we're promoting the XML story a lot of people were excited for this possibility a lot of people so here's hoping that happens soon and here's hoping that the stories are good and they get a good cast and yeah I would love to see it I don't know am I the only one here that is ok cool yeah yeah you have files Michaels a lot more excited you know what I'm gonna interject this really quickly I'm also excited for a show that no one's excited for what's a CSI cyber because I feel like CSI cyber which is gonna be about cyber crime I feel like they're gonna read a lot of our crime cry yet there gonna be guys they're gonna be reading a lot of our cnet articles I feel like we could be in the TV writers room we could be helping them out because you know there's so many stories that we write that could instantly be what least Simpsons episodes so I mean they could totally be CSI cyber summon out there they need any you know help yeah and a crafty what a sarcastic geeky kind of i'm just waiting for a serial killer who uses drones that's why i'm waiting for that he doesn't mean at her house yeah yeah personally waiting anyway so continue with our arts and culture I'm done talking about x-files and drone yeah I think we're an agreement that we're all over that yeah and apparently everyone is also all over a show that I don't watch which is which is called arrow can somebody tell me what the show is first of all I don't know anything about agent Carter fast yeah I did yeah I don't that either yeah Eric you need to watch asian I know yeah okay so there's a agent everybody I know love's agent Carter it's the kind of Fortius sequel to Captain America so it's a prequel de agents of shield and it follows capped America's X Peggy Carter being a kind of she's got like James Bond fighting skills but she's stuck in a pledge Lee Circle kind of situation which is not allowed out in the field anymore because no one takes us seriously cuz women returning from the war and all that so it's just a very fun period kind of I mean Webber would clearly loved 40s movies and we're gonna be doing a post about it Michelle star hi haha close-up close-up I've been tracking the gadgets they use on it because it has that pulpy sci-fi background where they have light guns and lipstick you know knockout drops and Michelle I've seen it crave Australia looked at actual real-life spy gadgets made specifically for lady spies and we're making it packaged so that's gonna be cool enough to be tomorrow and there's a link so i'll send you guys a link from collectors weekly calm they did a whole thing on spy gadgets that people collect that are four more days that women agents actually used um and so I I love the show too i'm a big fan of agent Carter I love that's a female lead show I love we get to see Jarvis as a human yeah yeah yeah you know basically the British Butler that turns into the British Butler for Tony Stark but in the computer form and there's more Howard Stark there's some so great yeah there's so many great stark moments and I think they did a really good job showing what happens after World War two when you know we had all this like you can do it Rosie the Riveter stuff and then all this all the men came back they're like yeah we're taking her jobs back go back to the kitchen so it's kind of like that mentality that they have to deal with um the dialogues great the action scenes are amazing like she really does kick butt and she is a stuff in her environment she's very fast very clever very determined and it just started so if you haven't watched it yet and if you have something like Hulu or you have you know a capability of watching it online somehow do because it's a great show and it just started and I I love it and I fun in fact it doesn't it doesn't really fall into cliche either you know they could make the men buffoons and but they don't like the men have their place and they're they're pretty good detectives to you know but and and and you know she's she's kind of a tough character through the whole thing not just in secret you know so i think i think by not falling into cliche it's an even better show than i thought it was gonna be Michael what do you think of Sue's I believe his name is the guy with the crutches he's pretty cool I mean I think he's gonna want to becoming her ally yeah there's sort of frenemies at the moment though cuz he seems like the smartest one and so he's the one that she needs to outsmart yeah there's always that he also doesn't treat her like a secretary yeah yeah yeah so yeah but it is it's very I mean there's a lot of 1940s late nineteen forties early 1950s things that pop in like uh you know all the automat yeah I'm is and then the hotel are like these living arrangements for women only men can't live I'm een we had that in bosom buddies but I'm just gonna sing this is that writes itself and as a result it is a very quite show I mean it's a white boarding house it's a bunch of cups yeah but you know they may bring in race issues in there as well because that was something that was in World War two that they had to deal with when everybody came back and the only commanders in the movie yeah exactly exactly so so arrow to answer your question also is it's based on economic and it's it's are we in third season or four season now third season third season um so it's on netflix if you want to catch up if you haven't watched it at all Eric um I'm true okay I'm try not to arrow shame you but it is out there and you can watch it um and flash of course came along and they've was just so good flash is great too and they've intersected a few storylines and it's a great show and you should watch it but they're starting now to bring in more and more characters from the comic book series that we're used to like Black Canary and such into arrow and flash is gosh I like because it's got kind of an old golly gee willikers kind of moment it's nice it's friendly it's friendly we're out super dark flash is light look Sarah bear if you cross over say kind of illuminate each other in terms of theme and character development it's actually they're quite cool crossovers yeah they're they're great crossover so if you haven't started watching yet I'd say CW's got a lot of great comic book stuff coming up and it's something you should be watching but we you should you should talk about this because you've been writing quite a bit about arrow lately I did a post about Black Canary but Michael did a post about something else that I think people might actually enjoy more is it the the lightsabers yeah I mean unless ya spoiler if fake I don't know yeah be careful spoilers forever yeah well if you haven't seen the mid-season finale uh turn off your your computer now Eric look away turn off your computer when we have other stuff talk about I'll read that plug up your ears or something stare at the primary bad there's a user named Dave Jones who did he's done a few of these kind of fan videos where he took the epic battle scene at the end of the the mid-season finale up on the mountaintop and instead of using metal swords he replaced them with lightsabers and he did a really good job of it and the battles just so much better with lightsabers as most of them are all battles are veteran lights as we know it's like the bacon of the weapon world yeah it is I really like how he goes a whole hog for the intro yeah we're not just doing it we gotta do the opening Carell Star Wars fans do this by the way and it's something I find very endearing they're like we're not just gonna whip into the action oh no we gotta do our opening scroll we gotta do our elite ask for our focus film logo we got to do the headline we go to the galaxy thing and the white and the wipes also that's Ra's al Ghul's headquarters there that you just saw and yeah this is Ra's al Ghul the head of the League of Assassins more thought it went into this in phantom menace we have you felt it pretty great looking very force awakens voiceover oh yeah yeah i think it was exactly the first way yeah I think you're right that's gonna leave in here actually you know it doesn't it cauterize it leave them he's a mark it seals it yeah nearly time mr. Queen has not yet presented the guilty how long is this actually pretty long I could talk about Ariel you just run the video I did okay guys yeah go ahead Cal see you guys um the video of thank you yes yes so I did a post about the introduction of last boiler e to know it is known it all season everybody's known this we know we knew Black Canary was coming because they're doing a blob promotion and blogs and on print so we know what's coming but maybe don't give too many details away of how I'd I can't say it's Laurel yeah yeah okay so here's the thing about Laurel she was Oliver's ex-girlfriend in the beginning of the series and they had lots and lots of love triangles that were very very boring I'm speaking my opinion now they her best friend I mean they basically was all a big live truck love triangle because she was dating his best friend he was there are many way on forever it was very very boring in my opinion and Laurel is basically the worst human being in the world yes with some tight competition from Olly himself yeah but so they kind of got away from that they really put her through a lot and they sort of sidelines her and things got more interesting and now they're bringing her back to try and show how she has actually become the Black Canary herself and I showed her working out they've showed her getting trained they've showed it developing psychologically while she's still in character is this incredibly pliny's self-centered demanding person and so it's really interesting because they've made me root for someone I really didn't like and I'm actually curious to see while their credit is can they pull this off is this the worst decision I've ever made or is it a brilliant gamble and i will say that it's a huge gamble because we're in third season and who knew if the show was going to last past first season because there was a lot of jokes at oh I can't believe they're doing this with green arrow his comic book character looks more like Robin Hood than the TV show obviously they made a lot of risks by having him kill a bunch of people the first season and not show remorse and then I guess they decided okay well we're going to have him show remorse so he didn't kill people he just did that thing where he just ties everyone up for the police and or just in the hand yeah I'm really annoying I find really annoying because I don't have any I don't have any faith whatsoever and sent is it central's it what's the name of the city that's a nice darling I have no faith whatsoever in the Starling justice system so I don't Starling city's justice system's gotta be super crap so I don't know why he didn't just kill everyone like you did before uh the key thing with black canary is her sister died mysteriously and that's something that they cover in the season of arrow of who actually killed her they think they know but they don't know if there's mind control involved they don't know if it's the sister they have no idea like they don't know if all I sister they had no idea so it's like one of those things and I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet but when she dies that's the catalyst of making um her sister basically decide oh I want to be black in there because her sister was the canary so that's how Black Canary came about is kind of like avenging or taking on the role of this Kate like this crusader for Starling and there always has been a lawyer a public aid person she has always tried to help in her own irritating helpless kind of way and she's a recovery she's a recovering addict so she's got a lot of dark side to her and she's very selfish and it's and it's very interesting to see a character that no one liked and I will say no one liked her through the first three seasons because we're just like she's whiny she blames Ollie for all of her problems there was a commenter on my blog post who did like her okay ones but that person but she's finally coming into this and this is why I've stuck with arrows because I'm like I know black Canary's coming I know black Canary's going to show up I just have to stick it out and I'm really glad that CW didn't cancel a show before we had this slow burn reveal of a character that a lot of people love in comic books so thank u CW for not cancelling a share right away unlike other networks that usually do three episodes and then cancel it or not show it at all Wonder Woman so it's you know it's interesting so I'm hoping that we get to I hope it's a good payoff I hope we're not all eating our words next crave cast I just honestly don't know it could work out it could be terrible we'll see okay it's such a great time to be a superhero fan by the way in a comics fan because we're getting all these networks are jumping on whatever they can and whatever comic they can both in movies and TV so I'm excited for this jessica jones Jones I'm excited for Jessica Jones we just did a reveal yesterday that david tennant is going to be playing the main body which we know him as purple man in the comics he's known as kilgrave that's his actual human name a regular person name yes cuz that's such a regular I know well purple man you know it can mean that could be Prince you know no the formerly known exactly and I talked about Jessica Jones earlier Krysten Ritter is going to be playing her it's a netflix series as 13 episodes it's a miniseries coming out from Marvel and it looks great and I loved the comics I loved her character she's basically the whole point of jessica jones 'she was a superhero that's hung up her cape so to speak after a disgrace because purple man has this mind control capability so he basically turns everyone into his puppets and he basically made her do horrible things and no the other superheroes would trust her after that and she just had a hard time coming back into the superhero world so she's like screw it I'm gonna hang up the cape and I'm gonna be a detective it's kind of like what's happening on Castle right now so she's basically a private investigator aah and she's gonna have her own agency and she still has all our powers but she's just basically just being a human p I and she's brought into New York City cases that they can't explain so it's kind of like metahuman type thing that's happening on arrow and flash were mostly I guess more like flash where they're brought in to uncover what's happening in cases that humans can't fathom on their own but i'm excited for David Tennant playing a bad guy I think most people know him as the Tenth Doctor on doctor he loves playing dead he loves playing bad guys and here's the thing we knew him as a bad guy on harry potter and he's played bad guys before in different TV mini-series and if you're a tenant attic like i am you've already done your tenant binging on netflix and found anything and everything he's even had a cameo in but we're so used to him being the lovable doctor that it's weird to think of him as a villain especially such a vile villain as purple man who really does horrible horrible things to Jessica I hope this doesn't turn into sexual assault TV show I don't know I know that it happened in the comic so we'll see how far they take it I know that a lot of the geek girl and feminist blogs like Mary Sue and I know I 09 talked about this briefly to is how far are they going to take it you know how far are they going to make him as evil as he is in the comics and I think that's something all comic book shows struggle with is how evil and believable do we make these characters so I'm excited hey tenant yay all right well I'm gonna have to definitely check out arrow apparently uh in flash and flash flash for sure man agent Carter and agents of shield you didn't want to spend time with your family are booked until next yeah that's uh Marvel Marvel marvel so a few a few more things were bad at a time a few more things I just want folks to check out on crave that we don't really have time to cover definitely look up the post of the fine brothers post I think Bonnie wrote about seniors playing grand theft auto do you want to say something really quick about this when you watch the elder its elders react to grand off of grand off grand off I'm still thinking style we shall not pass this again grand up that's right GTA 5 GTA 5 there you go okay so here's the thing they've never played it the only thing they were given were the controls and how to use the controls they know that it's a controversial show but they've never played it the best part of this is they stop for stop signs and they paid traffic lights and they were very adamant about that they're like well you have to it's a stoplight it's like you have to like that and took them forever to get out of the driveway but here's the thing with this game it's so controversial and everyone's like oh it's bad you shouldn't let your kids play up a lot once that they get going and once they figure out the controls and everything they love shooting people they had so much fun randomly shooting strangers in fact one of them's like I picked a knife as my weapon cuz it's more personal classic that's the touch because extra carry these are our parents and grandparents playing this game oh look at her look up and that is why it's the greatest job yeah and it's great so that's group that's totally worth checking out also a post I wrote about Neil deGrasse Tyson sharing the meaning of life on stage with the six-year-old it's like a five minute long video a but it's totally priceless so check that out and how about we give there it is right there and how about we give the last word of the creative cast today to Michael and just tell us briefly about your great science experiment in the high tech shirt that you wore for a month oh well I'm wearing it now actually huh so it's this kind of like rubbery spandex t-shirt it's my wife called it the thundershirt but the the real name it's from a company called a line med and yeah I mean you know I just write all day and you know my shoulders hurt my wrist hurts my elbows hurt and I was getting kind of sick of it and came across this shirt and they were nice enough to send me a test version of the shirt and I wore it for about a month and in about a week the shoulder pain went away in about another week a lot of the other pain went away so it's an awesome thing and you know now I where it sort of whenever things are acting up and I'll wear it for a day and feel pretty much better by the end of the day it also you know they said that it improves your energy which I thought was just a bunch of bunk but somehow it does I just being squeezed all day keeps you going just keep it always works for me oh that's true is it like an acupressure thing or a war what is it exactly remember during the Olympics you saw a lot of athletes putting those kind of like they look like giant band-aids on their muscles so it has that kind of big piece of tape yea big tape so see it's got that kind of stuff built into it so it pulls your shoulders back and put you in better alignment you've you feel almost feel a little uncomfortable if you if you slump so well yeah I'm proving your posture will help everything right on your hands yeah and actually chiropractors use that tape like I'm when I threw out my back I got all taped up on that tape which is very adhesive by the way don't pull it off on your own I learned the hard way and this I am very intrigued by this shirt so I'm get one for the ladies I'm going to tear the ladies version and see if it helps me because I throw out my back constantly and I'm writing constantly so you inspired me to get the other shirt so I me maybe we'll do a female edition review of the shirt and I'll let you know how it worked out for me but I'm totally going to try this because this is something i think a lot and this is affecting a lot of workers right now who telecommute so not just writers but anybody who works at a computer all day long and especially if you're in an office and you just want better posture I think this shirts amazing so thanks for that that doing the hard work for us so we could test it out or you know you were a guinea pig so we can do it too so thank you for that yeah sure my pleasure and the guys are great the guys who run it um they have tons of research information they're happy to share and you know the guy just kept writing email after email saying how happy was that I felt better he wasn't even know sort of as pleased with the coverage as he was with the fact that I got better using the shirt so they're they're a good team yay mmm awesome thank you Michael time I check that out as well I think that's about all the time we have for the crave cast this month I've been your technologically inept and barely he'll informed us for the month but we'll do it again even a row in February I gotta go find my internet we're at what one quick correction um Chelsea's said something about the worst person in the world that's actually Bill Belichick and that's the only comment I'll make all right well thank you everyone everyone be safe for Stephen Beecham Kelsey Adams Bonnie Burton Maikel Franco and Jeff Sparkman I'm Eric Mack that's been the crave cast see in February you
