Summary
Guest commentator Tony Consiglio bids a fond farewell to the feral fanthiers of Canto Bight and their friends, Finn & Rose!
Guests
Notes
Film
- Starts with the CBMP (Canto Bight Mounted Police) chasing Rose and Finn through the fields, ends with what looks like Rose and Finn getting abducted by aliens.
Podcast
- The shot that starts this minute is reminiscent of the original Planet of the Apes when they're chasing them through the fields. Mentioned: Field of Dreams.
- The fathiers have no problem smashing through windows and buildings, but they stopped dead at the edge of a cliff. They should jump right off, lemming-style (but see below).
- The 'zoom down the cliff' shot is an artifact of this movie being released in 3D. Referenced: the Hall of Memories from Harry Potter.
- It feels a little like the famous Jaws shot (dolly-in zoom-out).
- Alex assumed at this point the fathiers would have revealed themselves to be sentient and speaking. Or like the Frog Prince when Rose removes the saddle.
- We have two years to figure out why the horse stampede on a spaceship from Rise of Skywalker was not fathiers.
- Rose just sets them all free. It's very irresponsible to just set a bunch of captive animals loose and assume they're going to be okay.
Meta Minute
- 38:23 podcast episode length.
- The Toco-designed tee-shirt that Alex is wearing is available at Tony's Teepublic store.
- The Alex Robinson-designed shirt that Pete is wearing is also available from Teepublic.
- The idea that lemmings commit mass suicide by leaping off cliffs is a very common misconception that is ridiculously untrue. Unfortunately, the footage of lemmings hurling themselves off a cliff captured to film the 1958 documentary White Wilderness was staged, and was actually footage of truckloads of imported lemmings being thrown off the cliff by the producers of the film.
Quotes
- Pete: ...Analyze scrutinize and free rides.
- Pete: [...] analyze scrutinize and "tie my tie".
- Pete: You know what they say, "if it's Canto Bight, it's gotta be night."
