what's up guys welcome back to super megacast it has been quite a few weeks since we have made a podcast but we are back to our weekly schedule of thursday podcasts now yeah so you guys can
rejoice because i'm sure they were just hurting for more. They were just saying, I want to listen
to these two guys talk about random shit
more. Please, I'm missing it.
I wish they had 50 podcasts, so
I had 25 hours of material
to listen to non-stop. Well,
here we are, and we are answering your
prayers. We are, you know, maybe
one day we'll have 25 hours worth
of podcast material to listen to, but for now
this is only, what, episode 8, I think?
Yeah.
I'm pretty sure it's episode 8.
I hope so.
So I'm losing.
Is it bad that we're already losing track, like only 8 episodes in?
Like, oh, which one is this?
Yeah, it's like, I think you have the right to do that after, like, I don't know, 20 or so or 50.
Yeah, like 20 or 30.
But we haven't even gotten to 10 and we're losing count.
Like, ah, fuck.
We're in single digits and we still don't know which podcast number this is.
But yes, Ryan is back from his vacation in his home state of South Carolina.
Tell us a little bit about it, Ryan.
Well, basically I go back home.
Yeah.
I stay in my room for a little bit, for a good bit.
And I use my dad's car when I'm called out to downtown columbia to
hang out with people and then i drive it back so he can use it in the morning and the process uh
repeats itself every day and then while you were gone i was sitting in our apartment
completely by myself i cleaned it a lot and then i just kind of sat here uh by myself i did sleep
until like three or four in the afternoon and then wake up
and then just do nothing take a shower eat some food and then i would watch a movie and then hang
out with my cat banana you should have binge watched a shit ton of shows you could have
binge watched game of thrones you could have been binge watched like anything i don't know but you
did watch like kubrick films i did i watched Full Metal Jacket for the first time.
Which you showed me.
Yeah, which I just watched with Ryan two nights ago.
Yeah.
Because I said he needed to watch it because Stanley Kubrick is an amazing director.
And it was a fantastic movie.
I like the first half more than the second half.
When they get into Vietnam, I liked the training stuff a lot.
I think it's definitely the best half of the movie is the first half.
But if you haven't seen the movie, you don't know what we're talking about.
But you should.
It's on Netflix, so go watch it.
Go take a gander.
It's a good Vietnam War movie.
But speaking of the Vietnam War, this weekend, Ryan and I actually went to VidCon.
Yes.
And it was our first ever convention going together as Super Mega.
And we went to this convention, and we have lots of fun stories
to tell you guys about the convention well we we um we went to the convention we were under
the impression that you know maybe like five people would call us aside like hey guys i know
who you are type of thing um but what ended up happening was uh the first day we were there
a line was created that lasted about an hour of people wanting us to sign stuff and take pictures with them.
This happened like twice the first day.
Yeah, it was very overwhelming.
I wasn't expecting it.
I didn't know really quite how to handle it, honestly.
No, seriously.
Like we were both expecting probably no more than 20 people at this whole convention to recognize us.
And even saying like 20 people was kind of like a stretch.
We're like, eh, maybe, I don't know, like 15, 20 people recognize 15 20 people because we're not the reason people like we're not the reason people are there
yeah people go to see like you know the much bigger youtubers but like the second we would
hit the convention floor we would just get swamped by people just forming like a line to take a
picture with us and and there were people giving us gifts and shit that they made for us which we
got one uh one of the gifts uh the first gift we got sorry right when we before we even walked into the convention hall someone stopped us and gave us a gift they gave
us three like clay made yeah figures yeah it was donkey kong diddy kong and dad boy oh i love that
boy oh such a good oh shit what up yep yep is it dead yet yeah yes okay well if there's anything
you and i do do best ryan it's it Ryan, it's taking memes and trendy things like –
Running them to the ground.
Like Deez Nuts and then keeping them alive years after they're dead.
We still do it.
We still say Deez Nuts.
I know.
What was that?
You and I have known each other for so long, and since the day I met you, we've been making that fucking joke.
I know.
No, before I even knew you, I got a Snapchat of you before I'd ever met you.
Like two months before I even met you, I got a Snapchat of you saying I'd ever met you. Like, two months before I even met you, I got a Snapchat
of you saying, Deez Nuts. And I was like,
Aha! He's funny!
That's when you knew.
That's when I knew. We were destined to be buds.
Buds for life!
Not really, though. I don't know.
What do you mean? I don't know. What do you mean
not buds for life? That makes it
sound like, in your mind, you're like, eh, I'm friends with him now,
but now... You might decide to, like, kill my wife, and then we won't be friends anymore.
Ryan, if there's anyone I'm going to kill.
Yeah, go on.
Never mind.
But yeah, so we got these clay figurines from this girl.
She made them for us because we did our Donkey Kong Country series,
and they were fantastic.
We actually have them sitting on top of our little TV furniture stand.
I don't know what it's called.
With the Amiibos.
It's called a Hutch.
Yeah, yeah, the Hutch.
They're with the Amiibos and my stupid little Hot Topic pop figures.
You can definitely give those a Hot Topic.
Yeah, they're cute.
Definitely cute, dude.
Every day I look at them and I make the decision to keep them up there like
i'm like should i take them down today yeah yeah i i i'm i'm ready to start expanding my amiibo
collection and getting it i'm ready to start that second row i filled up the first row of the shelf
gotta get that second row going yeah i like that you you have the my i think three favorite of
yours are definitely uh shovel knight uh pixelated marated Mario, and of course the third one is going to be – I like the plug guy.
What's his name?
Chibi-Robo?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I never played a game of his, but I remember in GameStop I would always want it.
But for some reason it always came to be that my parents didn't have the money to buy the game.
Yeah, yeah.
I've never played a Chibi-Robo game,
but I've always thought they looked really cool.
Maybe we should play a Chibi-Robo game
on Super Mega or livestream it.
Are they coming out with a new one?
I thought they were...
They already did.
It was for TDS.
I don't think it was very well received, though.
I'm not sure.
We gotta play the GameCube one, right?
Yeah, the classic GameCube one.
But back to VidCon.
Yeah, sorry.
We got to meet a lot of you
who were really, really cool.
And it was a really cool experience actually getting to meet the people that watch Super Mega.
Yeah.
And comment Super Mega and all that stuff.
So it's like, it was a really cool experience just seeing all of you guys and getting to actually talk to you guys one-on-one and see what you guys were like.
Some of you were annoying as fuck.
But for the most part.
There's going to be people that met us
they'd be like oh god they met me well which one was it no we're totally kidding uh nobody was
annoying except for well yeah okay yeah one person was annoying yeah but but we don't we don't need
to get into that no no you know who you are you're probably not them yeah i guarantee you're not them
you know who you are though but jack sept Septic-Eye. I'm kidding.
Oh, God, I love Jack.
Oh, he's so good.
He stayed with us for an entire week.
Yeah.
And it was insane.
It was fucking awesome.
Because we weren't held down by having to do...
We did a collaboration with him, but we recorded that in an hour period on the last day before he left.
So it had the whole week of just hanging out with him, going out to eat with and just doing a bunch of shit and he's just a really fucking cool guy he is just
like uh i know he gets a bad rap a lot of the times for like being loud and shit like that but
like honestly he's just a very cool fucking he's just like a he's a really neat guy yeah he's super
super fun to be around it's just so genuine like he's just like a really genuine person and you can
count on him and he's funny and he smells genuine person, and you can count on him,
and he's funny,
and he smells really good.
The first time I met him,
he smelled like baby powder,
and then this time,
he smelled like Irish Springs deodorant.
He has those baby blue eyes, dude.
God, his eyes are fucking...
When he smiles,
it's like a new infant, like newborn,
just kind of like looking up at you.
Ah, yeah, you could just...
But of course, like,
there's a glass pane in between.
You didn't just find an infant.
It's like in a nursery.
Yeah.
God, you could just reach into his eyes and just pick those blueberries out.

Yes, yeah. From that video.
He's like, do you mind if I just –
Tosh.0 did a thing with him.
That's right because I knew that was from something.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
But at VidCon, aside from meeting a lot of you guys, we actually got to meet a lot of really cool –
a lot of cool other YouTubers.
Other content creators.
Content creators.
We're not YouTubers. We're content creators. Content creators. We're not YouTubers.
We're content creators.
Who did we meet?
We met JonTron.
Yeah.
We met Boogie.
Yep.
We met Filthy Frank.
We met Jaxfilms.
Jaxfilms.
iDubbbz.
MaxMofo.
Yeah.
I met the Damn Daniel guy.
Yep.
I walked by him and said, Damn Daniel.
It's up on your Twitter feed.
It is on my Twitter.
I think he wanted to kill me.
So funny story.
Like we were standing outside the convention hall, and we see this like blonde kid standing there.
And this girl runs up, and she's like – pulls out her phone.
She's like, say the line.
Say the line.
And he's like – and he just starts walking away.
And he's like, damn, Daniel.
And you just see that he just did not – he's like, fuck.
Why did I –
But he wore white vans.
He did.
Did you see he drew the youtube logo like if he's yeah yeah if he's truly fed up with it you'd think that
he just tried to 100 kind of kill it at uh vidcon of all places he was just done though i walked by
him ryan and i were i was like ryan what are the odds i just go up to him and i and i say damn
daniel and ryan was like i don't know just do it so i did and i walked by and i was like damn daniel
and then he just looked flustered.
If you pause the video when I say it to him,
you can just see in one frame
just this look on his face of a fallen god.
It's a real gem.
It is a gem.
He's a sweet little boy, though.
We saw Jacob Sartorius in person.
Yeah, I made a dead eye contact with him.
And him and his posse with bodyguards and other 12-year-old boys.
Yeah, they were just like a bunch of – like you could always tell who the Vine kids were or the Musical.ly kids were because they're like tiny little like sixth grade kids that have like super styled hair and a snapback just gently sitting.
It's not even on their head.
It's just like lightly placed on top of their head like by one one there's like one pixel of space between their hair and the hat and and then they usually have
like a thin gold chain we saw a couple kids with that i just feel bad for them though because it's
like they're not even a person yet like they haven't developed their they haven't developed
their true likes they haven't found themselves i believe i didn't at that age i didn't hardly
until like even after high school, I don't think.
I, like, truly was like, oh, where am I going?
Like, that type of shit.
Like, who am I?
And it's like, when you introduce this shit to them, it's turning them into an asshole.
It's teaching them to be an asshole.
And I feel like a lot of the shit he does, yes, it's cringy.
Yes, it's shitty.
But I feel like a lot of it can be you know given to
the fan base or the parents um it's not 100 his fault why he's like that well i i think one of
the biggest problems with like when those kids blow up like that is they're suddenly like worshipped
overnight by all these other people telling them that they're amazing and all this stuff
and i think it like at that age you're so moldable
and and like malleable yeah that like then the kid gets a huge ego and starts to think that
everything in life is given to them and then for the rest of their life that kid is going to be a
spoiled little brat you know like like jacobs artorias is going to grow up he already is
from there's a lot of evidential videos but he's going to grow up and be an asshole like all of
those vine stars are going to grow up and be complete assholes.
It can go one of two ways.
They can continue on the path that they're on and continue to make the decisions
and have the kind of like self-involved personality that they have or have been conditioned to have.
Or they can like later in life when they're our age type of thing.
You kind of did it even though you weren't famous for making cringe videos.
I did make some cringe videos.
They're still out there, but we're not going to let you guys know what they're called so you can't find them.
Yeah, but it's like – or they can like accept it and start making fun of themselves and being very self-aware of how cringey or like how they acted back in those days, back in the days.
Yeah.
I have an old YouTube channel with over 50 videos on it.
Sketch comedy.
Hi, Shane Dawson.
Shut up, Ryan.
Yeah.
One of the videos is like a video response I made to Shane Dawson when his grandma was dying.
And I'm like, hey, Shane Dawson.
Your grandma is going to go be with Jesus now.
But, yeah, we just had to cut a part out because Ryan just name dropped one of my old videos.
And I don't want people finding that. Because it has a lot of views dude it does it
has like 15 000 views but but i think only a few people have seen that you me uh aaron from game
grumps like 15 000 other people yeah and 15 000 other people all the comments on that video were
just pure hate just like really just like they're all like, who's this... Like, fuck this little kid.
It's almost like you got leafied.
Oh, God.
God!
I hate my old videos.
Guess what just happened?
What?
We just hit 48,000 subscribers.
We were on our way to 50,000.
Wow.
Guys, thank you so much for...
Ever since we came back from our break,
while Ryan was out of town,
ever since we came back,
we've seen nothing but just all this, like, crazy support pouring out from you guys and and we've been
we've been shooting up so thank you guys so much for all that yes thank you very much i guess also
back to vidcon yeah um so when six o'clock rolls around they shut down the convention hall and
they're like everyone's like get out you got to leave except for the creators the creators get to
stay and then after that they get to hang out uh on the like hall floor by
themselves and just like socialize and stuff so of course what people do is all the fans and stuff
um they all hang outside the convention hall and swarm the outside of the hotel until probably like
one or two in the morning every night hoping that they'll see uh like a youtuber or something
so we were going to the
gregory brothers concert which we met the gregory brothers and they're super nice guys by the way
really nice um but we were on our way to go see them like perform live and there was no one in
the convention hall anymore all the uh people that had paid to come to the convention had been
kicked out at this point yeah so me ryan john tron boogieogie, and Jack were making our way to the Walking Fast Faces Pass, and I'm homebound.
We were making our way to the arena where the concert was.
And basically the way we walked had these big glass windows, these big glass doors, and it's like all dark outside.
And the second we leave and we start walking, all of a sudden you just see phone screens start lighting up faces outside.
And then just swarms of people just like –
You start to hear Audible like –
You hear people just pressing their faces against the window.
Like it's a fucking zombie apocalypse.
Yeah, it was like a bunch of zombies outside.
And their faces were being lit from underneath.
It was insane.
And you could just see they started following us.
Then they accidentally,
Maker accidentally led us straight into the middle
of the concert arena
where all the fans were.
Jack just...
It was like a magnet
and a bunch of little magnetic pieces.
One person came, then two people,
then three, then six, then ten. All it takes in a crowd is for one person came, then two people, then three, then like six, That's what happens. Like ten.
All it takes in a crowd
is for one person
to recognize you
and get a picture
and then all it takes
is someone else
is like,
oh wait,
who are they getting?
Oh!

and we had to figure out a way to sneak him out because our car was parked on the other side of this mob of fans.
And we're like, how do we sneak him out?
So we had to basically walk outside of VidCon and walk through surrounding neighborhoods,
like 20 minutes to get back to the car.
And we still got recognized several times on the way there.
I just think next year people are going to be like,
no, they said that they walk through neighborhoods.
So next year at VidCon, there's going to be a swarm of 12, 11-year-olds or so
just wandering around secluded neighborhoods.
Throwing Molotov cocktails at cars and flipping trash cans and shit.
We want Jacksepticeye.
We want Pew's septic eye. We want beauty pies.
But the second night,
we went to a Maker Studios party with Jack
and we had to get back to the parking lot
to get the car again.
And we had to walk through the swarm of fans
that were outside of the Hilton Hotel
where Jack and everyone was staying.
So we're like, shit, how do we do this?
So me, Ryan – it was me, Ryan, Oney, or Chris, and Jack,
and we're like, we got to get back through.
So Chris gave Jack his beanie and put it on, and we gave Jack sunglasses.
And a hoodie.
Yeah, so anyone listening to this that was in that crowd, you didn't know it,
but all four of us walked directly through the –
It was the third night by
the way yeah the final night we walked directly through a crowd of like hundreds of of just
ravenous fans all with our heads down it's like it's like this scene in uh the walking dead season
one where uh they all cover themselves in like blood and like dead body guts yeah yeah the guts
to get through the crowd of zombies. It felt exactly like that.
Yeah, but we were all like, oh, shit, shit.
All it would take is one person to recognize Jack.
And just yell, Jacksepticeye.
And then just boom, and we would never get to our car.
So we were just walking through this huge crowd all with our heads down,
and we're like, shit, shit, shit.
And it was super tense.
Like, no one was saying a word, and we got through it.
Not a single person recognized us.
It was amazing.
It was this, like, unbelievable moment of did it like i cannot believe that worked like it was it was god damn it i can't stop burping i'm sorry ryan it's okay oh guys
like we just uh okay are you burping too okay yeah sorry dude is there like something in our
apartment is someone like putting gas in our apartment? I don't know about that, but I know there's a dollar in the woods.
Dude, I found a dollar in the woods at VidCon.
I was in the woods, found a dollar.
Found a dollar.
Should I give your mom a motherfucking holler?
Dude.
Keemstar, DJ Keemstar, everybody.
He was at VidCon, and we didn't see him.
Apparently he was at VidCon, right?
He only came the last day, yeah.
Or he tweeted a picture picture of like the entrance
and was like, I'm here.
Or he might have just been faking it.
But who else did we meet at VidCon?
We met-
You met Ricegum.
Yeah, I met Ricegum.
So we saw Ricegum like standing by himself.
Every time I saw Ricegum,
he was sitting or standing by himself.
Same with Matthew Santoro.
So I saw Ricegum, I'm like, shit,
I'm gonna go say hey.
And I was like, hey, Ricegum, right? And he's like, yeah. he's like yeah and i shook his hand and i was like hey i'm matt nice to meet you
man and he's like cool haha and then i was like see ya and then i left and then before we left
he was sitting on a couch by himself and i was like see you rice and then we didn't actually
end up leaving so it was awkward but uh yeah some kid like dab yeah yeah okay so this uh
this other vine star that's really good friends with j Sartorius, like while I was talking to Ricegum, came up and like dabbed him and was like, sup, dude?
I don't know what his name is.
His name is Mark Jacobs?
Mark Thomas?
I think it's Mark Thomas or something.
But he came up and he – god, he looks like such an idiot.
I'm sorry.
I'm not trying to be mean to the kid.
But like his hair looks like a loaf of bread on top of like a child's head with a snapback just gently placed atop the loaf of bread.
Dude, when I was that age, I had the fucking...
I had a bowl cut.
Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide coconut head.
Yes, me too.
I was coconut head, dude.
Both of us.
There's pictures of both of us out there.
We both have fucking bowl cuts.
Oh, God.
I had the bowl cut until high school, I think.
Who else did we meet?
We met Ian and Anthony from Smosh.
Yeah. We didn't really meet Anthony. No ian and anthony from smosh yeah uh we
didn't really meet no we saw anthony but well both of us we know ian pretty well now yeah he's a
really nice guy went to a game of thrones uh viewer party yeah and he was there and i i i
didn't go to that but i i went to because you don't watch game of thrones i know ryan but but
while you're out of town i i saw ian three separate times at two streams and once at a Game Grumps party, and we talked about politics for like an hour.
But this is what matters.
Does he follow you on Twitter, though?
No.
Does he follow you on Twitter?
Hey, I wasn't – no.
Exactly, Ryan.
Exactly.
So we're not really friends with him.
But when he saw us, he was like, hey, guys, and gave us hugs.
Nope.
He doesn't follow us on Twitter. He doesn like us his girlfriend follows us on twitter pamela
she follows you she follows you too doesn't she i don't think so her friend a million tal amelia
talon follows me oh oh nice well we're actually planning on possibly having pamela horton on a
podcast yeah so maybe we're gonna do a game something. No promises, but we've talked to her about it, and she wants to do it.
We saw Anita Sarkeesian.
Yeah.
Yeah, we saw Anita.
Oh, good old Anita.
Hey, dude, we can't talk about her because obviously we don't like her because she's a woman, right?
Yeah.
Judging by some of the comments recently, we're not allowed to say anything bad about Anita Sarkeesian because that somehow just equates to we don't like her because she's a woman, not because of anything she's done.
No, it's – yeah.
But who else?
We saw Raina Scully.
We met.
Oh, she's really sweet.
She's super sweet.
I kind of have a massive crush on her, but that's another story.
Also, we ran into Vernon a lot.
We talked to Vernon.
We saw Philip DeFranco at the party.
He was behind me in line for
drinks or something he was and and then matthew santoro remember when he walked into the party
and he was like vlogging just vlogging him everyone else is just socializing and matthew
santoro walked in like vlogging himself and it's just like he has to be a constant thumbnail dude

He says they're ready to go and they want to come over.

Ryan, we might have to end this episode early.
Tell them to come.
Well, they can head over.
We can still record a little bit.
I got to take a shower, too.
Same.
Because we're going out to see a movie with Chris O'Neill and Aaron Hansen tonight.
Yeah, Swiss Army Man.
I'm excited.
Yeah, we're going to go see it.
Next week on the podcast, we'll make sure to tell you what we thought of it.
Absolutely.
Because we recently saw The Shallows.
Oh, we saw The Shallows last night with Chris.
Yeah.
Or Oni, as he goes by.
I can't wait for our movie review stuff.
I want to review movies on a legitimate platform.
Yeah, we're going to be doing movie review series soon.
We're just waiting for the intro animation and stuff to be completed
and a couple other little details to be worked
out. But other than that, we have... The Shallows was nonsensical.
It was fucking awful.
I didn't... I... Like, it was like they
tried to make it bad. It was such
a bad movie.
God, Ryan... It could have been really good.
It could have been like a serious, like, legit, like
good thriller. Yeah.
Like, because it has a good storyline for a shark movie.
It's like, oh, good.
But the thing was they brought in so much stupid shit.
And instead of like working it into the story, they would literally just put it on screen.
And like throughout the movie, every time someone sent a text message, they would show it on screen like next to the – like pop up in midair.
Like a Verizon commercial or something.
next to the like pop up in midair like a like a verizon commercial or something and it ruined it because instead of just incorporating things into the story they just like told everything just by
showing it on the screen as a text message and it sucked well and they had the problem of like it
was one of those movies that had to tell you everything it was like okay it takes the shark
32 seconds to get from the whale to the rock so i must be fast enough to swim from here to the buoy
it would take this long and it's like she talks to herself out loud.
And like, if I was stranded on a rock with like a shark circling me, I wouldn't be like, I wouldn't talk to myself.
I'd just be like, fuck.
Yeah.
I mean, every case I'll probably be like, fuck, fuck you.
Fuck you.
Hey, fuck you.
Fuck you.
No.
Hey, fuck you.
No, fuck you. No. Hey. Fuck you. No, fuck you.
No, hey, fuck you.
You're the one surrounding the rock.
Okay, you know what?
I'll go somewhere else.
I'm sorry.
Promise to leave?
I won't see your fucking fin anymore?
What is that?
What is that?
Okay, I'll do it.
You will?
You stammered a little bit.
Okay, I'm going to get in the water.
No.
I'm going to eat you then. No! Yep water. No. I'm going to eat you then.
No!
Yep.
Too bad.
I'm going to eat you.
That was the movie, wasn't it?
My fins were crossed.
That was the shallow.
We just spoiled it for you guys.
Yeah, it was a really bad movie though.
I like the seagull subplot.
That's the only thing that I liked.
Oh, and the shark looked really good until the end climax.
Don't you agree with me? The shark looked really good until like the end climax and it's damn it don't you agree
with me yeah like the shark looked really good until like the end action shit and dude why can
what pisses me off more than anything about hollywood yeah it's not any of that stupid
bullshit ryan okay not a what pisses me off is hollywood in the year 2016 still can't make cell
phones or any sort of technology look like it actually does they make it look all futuristic
and like and like or like when people are hacking on a computer it's like like green binary numbers
and like all these windows like like access granted no that's not how technology works
you think you can hack into the system oh i can hack into the system let me get my five keyboards
so fucking stupid it's
like with all of the budget it's like yeah let's make the the cell phone look like a not real cell
phone bitches i think those are exact words said in a uh a writing room in hollywood oh we got to
figure out a way to make this technology look fake let's not let's make a not real cell phone, bitches.
Let's make a not real cell phone, bitches.
The sad thing is
you're probably not far from what the writing room
was like. We gotta make it appeal to the kids.
To the millennials. Like, okay,
millennials love emojis.
Okay, okay, I'm sorry.
I'm gonna interrupt you here. I just got mad
about something. tell me why the
biggest great white shark ever to be recorded crunches into someone's leg three distinct times
and yet it's just a fucking flesh wound like and she can like sew it up with her fucking neck
so whatever spoiler alert i don't give a shit turn off the podcast if you are really that into
seeing the movie The Shallows,
but the shark attacks her the first time and drags her under,
and you hear it bite her like three times.
Three distinct times, I counted.
Crunch, crunch, crunch.
But it's just like a little gash in her leg.
But then every time it eats someone else, it's one instant just goop.
They rip him in half?
Yeah, and he gets back to shore and he's ripped in half,
and he's like, ooh, uh-oh, I'm gonna die now.
No!
Whatever happened to him? Did he just wash away back into the ocean?
Yeah, because even though the tide brought him to the shore...
No, you know what pissed me off about that movie?
Like her surfboard, the helmet, all the things in the water somehow stayed in that same area for like 24 hours.
The tide would have taken them so far away.
No, they're in an inlet though. They're in an inlet, Matt.
You guys clearly don't understand the way the movie works.
Great white sharks are predatorial creatures, Matt.
Okay, and first of all, a shark that big, that was way bigger than any great white I've ever seen.
That was like a fucking, Chris was like, was that a megalodon?
God, Chris kept talking during the movie and saying the funniest shit.
He was, yeah yeah that's what he
does throughout the whole movie he just makes noises and like during the movie he'll just
loudly just be like he'll lean over like this movie fucking sucks then like everyone in the
theater can hear him but it's really funny but like god the shark was massive and what the water
was like 10 feet deep great whites do not go that close to shore they can't great whites they'll drown they stay like miles away well they're in danger of drowning yeah if they
go that shallow they were the movie is literally called the shallows like that it doesn't make
sense the shark was like a megalodon and he's in like 10 feet of water i just the trailer had the
shark circling the secluded rock and i and i was like oh this could be interesting then he like leaps out of the water and kills the guy he jumps out of the water they show the shark
way too much which is rule number one like i thought this it was creepy when you saw like
above just how big he was that was cool yeah i didn't need to see i didn't need to see him
jumping out of the water doing backflips i think the sense of mystery about it is also what
makes it more scary because you like well that's why jaws was so impactful yeah it's this ominous
like large creature in the water and you don't fully see it and that's why it's so scary like
most horror movies are based off of the fear of the unknown any movie that takes advantage of like
fear of the dark that's the that's all about fear of the unknown because you don't know what's in
the dark you don't know that's why yeah i was gonna agree with you because that's why you know like
in pacing of movies um at the end like in at the end of a horror movie during the climax it becomes
less scary because you know more now like you know how to either fight the creature you know more like
the creature's origins once you get information or learn more about the creature whether it be
visible information or just kind of backstory information, it becomes less scary.
And that's why the climax is more rooted in, uh, just kind of adrenaline instead of, uh,
suspense and fear.
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
But, but overall I give it a two thumbs down cause it was a really shitty movie.
Yeah.
I wouldn't watch it for fun.
If you want to watch a shark, a bad shark movie for fun, Shark Night 3D is probably a good one.
Shark Night 3D, what is that?
It's bad, but it's funny.
Because a great white shark, a dude's riding a jet ski, and it jumps out of the water and snatches him off of the jet ski while he's moving.
And this was like, the sharks don't look terrible on sci-fi.
It was a Hollywood kind of thing.
I've seen it.
I've seen it.
I have seen it.
I watched it in high school at a friend's house.
I've seen it.
At the end of the movie, there's a music video.
Yeah.
I've seen that movie.
It's fucking awful.
It's so fun, though.
If I was going to watch a shark movie for fun, I'd probably watch Shark Tales.
Was that Will Smith that voiced the fish in that movie?
Yeah, Jack Black voiced the shark.
What?
Yeah.
Will Smith and Jack Black.
Together at last.
That's a dynamic duo made in heaven.
I love it.
I love it.
Yeah.
Well, I'm sorry this podcast is so short.
Yeah, we got to cut it short because Egoraptor, our boy, Aaron Hansen, and Chris are actually
on their way over to our apartment right now because we're going to go get dinner and go
see a movie, and I have to take a shower and clean my nuts.
I smell.
I stink.
I do, too.
I'm a stinky boy.
So we're going to very quickly take a shower.
But guys, the next podcast, we promise they'll be longer.
And I promise one of these days I'll put the podcast on iTunes.
I've said that a million times.
Maybe by episode 40 it'll be on iTunes.
Who knows?
But guys, thank you so much for listening to this episode of Super Megacast.
