Here we go. Welcome everyone to a brand new sweet podcast. Yes, the name has changed this sweet podcast. Today your host Zach and Cody Curtis have a very interesting conversation today. They're talking about walking Phoenix's Joker. They're discussing the tale-to-tale games. Closing and remembering some of their favorite moments from gaming with them.  And today they might be discussing some guilty pleasures and what really are the best guilty pleasure franchises. But without further ado, Zach, Cody, you guys take it away. Going on everyone, welcome to the sweet film podcast. My name is Zach and of course my co-host here. What's going on? How are you viewers? My name is Cody. I hope you're all having a fantastic day because you've got a couple of clowns talking into your ear. And does anyone out there want a balloon? Because I'm giving my name for free. Woo! Obviously you guys can hear we're talking like jokers because we are going to talk about the new Joker set photos of walking Phoenix. We mentioned it in the last podcast but now we have like actual makeup, actual stuff of him in the full makeup. We're going to discuss that.  It's because I made an announcement over on Twitter that me and Cody have decided to change the name from sweet film podcast to the sweet podcast. Same stuff, just me and him talking film but also we want to bring in some video game talk, TV talk and today we are going to be discussing a little bit of video games. We'll get to that sad news in a little bit. But of course like we start off every show, we talk, we start with just rambling on, talking about some random stuff and I have something I want to talk about, Cody. And I don't think you've watched the show yet but it's called Maniac. Have you heard of the show on Netflix? I have heard of it. I haven't seen it though. Do you know who was in it? Emma Stone and Jonah Hill, right? Yes, and it's directed by Kerry Fukunaga, the man who wrote the original It script, directed True Detective and is now directing the new Bond film. And let me say after watching Maniac, 100% understand why he's doing Bond. 100%, there's one episode that there's camera angles with a certain action sequence and it's amazing. Now, I didn't completely love the show and I kind of want to bring it up on this podcast because one, I'm not going to do a sub review. I'm just not, I'm not going to do a sub review. It's too late already to do a review. It's too late already to do a review. But I thought I would bring it up on here. So Maniac, it's a crazy show, crazy show. One of the weirdest shows I've ever watched. It's like watching someone's dreams and nightmares come true. And then you're not understanding some of it, but understanding it fully. It's weird. I feel like I understand everything that happened, but at the same time, I feel like I didn't. It's a very confusing but interesting show that really pays off in that last episode. Because I told myself, as much as weird as the show can be, it held how the last episode goes. And the last episode did not disappoint me. It's the best episode of the whole season. Actually, probably the second best. Because the show is about these people who go a pharmaceutical tech to take, like, to test certain drugs. And they go under these, like, mind things and their minds get put into computers and they experience weird phenomenons and Emma Stone and Jonah Hill's characters start connecting into this, where they're in the same dreams. And these dream sequences that they go into is, like, out of inception. Not as weird as inception, well, some of them can be weird, but not as, like, buildings moving and stuff. But they tackle stuff that is happening in their real life world within these fantasy realms. There's a whole gang area with Jonah Hill, where Jonah Hill's a gangster.  It's insane. I don't want to go any more detail, but it is a really interesting show that's really worth watching. If I was to write it, I'd probably give it an 8.5 out of 10. I loved some aspects to it, and I really liked others. It didn't pay off completely for me. I think the show should have been two episodes shorter. I think it would have been just eight episodes. It would have been a way more solid show. The first three episodes are very slow, and I get why they are, but it took a bit to get in there. But I will say the four best things about that show, the score, best score I've heard all year, best score all year. Really? Jerry Fukunaga was directing, absolutely fantastic directing, and the other two main things are the performances from every single actor and actress. I'm not even joking, because when you go into these dreamlike scenarios, they're tackling different characters. There's one dream that a Jonah Hill and Emma Stone go into where they're doing accents and everything, two-word of forest performances. The fact that they played, they are literally playing multiple different characters throughout the show. They're still playing their same selves, but they're playing different aspects of them. It is insane how good both of them are in it. If you're still not on board with the Jonah Hill train, and this guy can do anything, he can do anything. Emma Stone, superb. Both of them. And then I need to look up the guy's name, but he was in Game Night earlier this year, and he's in this show too. It's the guy who brought that one older lady to be his date or whatever. Oh! Billy Magnussen is in the show. Excellent. I want this guy in everything now. So, so good. Okay. And Justin Therrox is also in it. Superb. Sonia Mizoni, who's also in Crazy Rich Asians earlier this year. Superb. Outstanding performances. That was hands down the best thing about the show. And that is what hooked me with the performances. The show could have been complete ass, and I still would have given it at least a seven, because how good those performances were. So, really, Cody, when you get the chance, binge watch it. Okay. It's a tough show to binge. It's really slow, but I think for people who are fans of The Leftovers, which Leftovers is like top ten favorite television shows of all time for me, this is a show that deserves it. It sucks that we're only getting one season of it, because I really would have liked two more, or at least one more, because especially, the ending is happy, and I liked where it ended at, because I felt concluded. But I love the characters so much that I wanted to explore more with them. Gotcha. And I mean, that's awesome. I'm going to have to check this out, because the way you've described it, it makes me think that it's kind of a combination of both Inception and Black Mirror, and I just got stuck. Yeah. Black Mirror is a really good one to compare it to, but yeah, no, I recommend watching it as soon as you can, and anyone who watches the podcast before you get spoiled, because it's a show that you have to interject into yourself. Like, there are certain shows where I'll sit down, I'll watch the first few episodes, if it hooks me, I'll watch the rest of the season that day, and that's Maniac. Okay. Well, I'm going to have to get started at some point, after I get lots of papers about Evil Dead. That's all I got. I want you to know about the Evil Dead films. If October, you do not watch those.  We will go on hiatus until you watch all the Evil Dead films. You're going to stop our podcast that we're doing right now, just so I can watch the Evil Dead films, if I don't. Not October yet, but by October first. If you're not done by October 25th, we are done. All right. If I'm not finished with the Evil Dead by October 25th, then we are done with the podcast. I just mean the movies. I don't mean the television show. That's going to take you a bit longer. The movies, you have no excuse. That's three hours that you can sit down, stop playing Spider-Man, stop touching yourself and watching. Right on. Okay. Well, it is October, this, this October, I really look like a guy with a plan. I have been planning to watch more horror films this October, just not, not only for the sake of watching them, but I have articles to write. But you do. Yes, you do. Before we get into that, I spent a lot of time talking about Maniac Cody. Is there anything you want to bring up real fast before we really get into our first main topic? Well, as far as shows go, as far as shows, I think a show, if people haven't already checked it out, is a show that I learned about, because you told me about it earlier this year. And that is the show Glow. I thought you were going to talk about Queer Eye. I'm like, I do it. I can't, I can't. I watched the first season. I couldn't do it. I don't like it. Wait, wait, really? I didn't like it. I thought it was fine. I thought it was fine. I really did thought it was, I watched the first three episodes. I stopped watching it. I was like, no, I'll go back. I finished it. I just couldn't get into it. Maybe it's just because that's not the type of show I wanted to watch at the moment. I like forced myself to watch it, but. All right. Well, I mean, teach their own. And yeah, Queer Eye is one of the shows that I do recommend that everybody check out at least once. But the show I would actually recommend is Glow. I have a few shows that I need to actually start watching for one thing. I do need to start watching Westworld. That is on my list. Yeah, Westworld, Ozark. Those are Ozarks. The only thing you're good about Westworld though is that the next season isn't coming out till 2020. So you literally have over like a year and a half to watch the show. Yeah. So that's actually a very good point. That's a very good point. I do catch up on Game of Thrones first because that's coming back. Wait. Yeah. True. I think it's going to be one of those things where I catch up on Game of Thrones after the series has ended though because I'm going to school at the second half and I'm going to be like, she died. Because I've gotten through the first season of Game of Thrones and that's about it for right now. But it's because you know what? I promise you this. I promise you this.  The second season is the one that hooks every single person and after that they dedicate the rest of their days to Game of Thrones until they're done. That's how it was with me. So Cody, promise me this. Before you watch anything else, I don't care if you watch Evil Dead, to be honest. I want you to watch the second season of Game of Thrones. If you are not fully invested by Battle of Blackwater, we're stopping the podcast. Okay. Okay. When it comes to... Okay, I will do that, but you got to give me a little bit more time than just the month of October because I have a lot of stuff to catch up on. That's 10 hours of your life. That's 10 hours of your life. I don't want to hear you playing video games, touching yourself. We're going to see some shitty movie. If I hear you go and see Assassination Nation over watching an hour of Game of Thrones, I will yell at you. What if I go see First Man over watching Game of Thrones? That's fine. That's something else. Okay. Anyway, I think we are getting down the rabbit hole, but Glow. Glow is the show I wanted to talk about because if there are people who have not watched the gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling that is on Netflix right now, you don't watch it.  Did you say if you don't watch it, you're gay? Yeah. Who doesn't like watching?  That's a very good point, especially since the story of Glow is so good. I've already expressed this since we are going to be getting into this, that Mark Maron, besides Alice and Bree, I love Alice and Bree. I love Ruth as a character in Glow. Mark Maron in Glow is, he's so great. That's just going to be my selling point on this. For those of you who haven't seen it and you have Netflix, watch Glow. It is 100% worth your time and I cannot wait to see where they go with season three, but Mark Maron, he's in the Joker film. I think we should go and talk about Joaquin Phoenix's Joker. Perfect segue. You were thinking exactly what I was thinking.  Let me go again and say, here we go. We are talking, of course, Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker. We discussed this last time on the podcast, but we just had that first still image of him, which looked cool. The next day happens and it's in full paint and mask. Oh, my God. It's awesome. It is. And people are crapping on it, but I love it. Even if this is the final look, I'm all on board. To be honest, and I get it, some people weren't on board, but that teaser, that makeup teaser got me more hyped than most trailers do in general. The music, everything, like here, I will actually play it and we will show it on here. Oh, it's showing a Halloween trailer on my screen right now, but it is, it is insane. It's incredible. Yeah. Like you just look at this and and just, I just love looking at him and you just see like the clown in the background dancing with the original purple shirt and jacket and then it just, you see him smile. You see it panning in and bam. He smiles and then just goes back to a serious face. Beautiful.  It's amazing. Come on. Come on now. No, it's beautiful. You know, it's not just that. I mean, that alone is really, really good, but the TMZ footage that we got of the Joker in the subway. Yeah. And you know what? I was analyzing. You can see the actual set photos off of there though. There were actual better photos of him. Yeah. And they look amazing. In the makeup and everything else. Yeah. And I think people who are complaining with the makeup, if you see it in context, it works so much better. You know what I can't wait to hear though? What? The laugh? His laugh. Yep, not his voice. I could care less about his voice, but his laugh is going to make, but going back to that set photo really fast, in behind, if you look at the pictures or the things people are holding up the other clowns, a lot of them say Joker for mayor and then one says Thomas Wayne is Scrooge. Like a lot of them are dismounting Thomas Wayne. Yeah. Okay. That is really interesting. And this gives... And he's in the film. He's in the film. I mean, this will give a little bit more of an interesting origin story because I mean, geez, knowing that, I mean, generally when you think of the Joker, if Thomas Wayne is still alive, generally a lot of people think of the Joker at that time. He may be causing trouble in Gotham, but he's like a man in his 20s. Locking Phoenix, not so much. This is a much older Joker. It's going to be a character piece and it's going to be awesome. Well, I mean, he can be... I mean, Locking Phoenix would probably play a 30-year-old, to be honest. He's not that old. Like the guy who looks young in the photo, like he was only born in 1974. He can pull off things in the 30s though. Yeah. I'll tell you. I think everyone thinks he's older than he is, but I think Joker's only going to be like early 30s in this film, if anything. I mean, that's very true. And when he encounters Batman, I mean, he's in his 50s for the most part. Yeah. He doesn't like go toe-to-toe half the time. I will say though, if this film works, I know like they're saying it's a one-off, but I think we discussed this earlier and maybe it was just us discussing it in private. Maybe I was discussing it with someone else. I've always said that if they continue these one-offs, which I really do think they should, especially if this works, why not do have John Hamm come in as a very grizzled old Dark Knight, like the Dark Knight Returns comic, the best comic out there for the Batman, in my opinion, or do a killing joke. Well, this is... this actually is remembered to kind of be a killing joke. So, I don't know, which out the Batman is story arc, but wouldn't that be cool if they tied in John Hamm? Like, I mean, that's like fan speculation. I'm not saying it's going to happen, but I think that would be cool. Yeah, it would be fantastic. Honestly, that's one of my disappointments. I love the fact that Walking Phoenix is being the Joker and all that. He's the best actor today. He's the best actor working today. I don't... Daniel Day-Lewis retired. He's the best. He's not my favorite. Like, he's in my top five. But for me personally, Walking Phoenix is hands down the best actor working in Hollywood today. 100%. If Daniel Day-Lewis came in, it'd probably be second. But I go walk... I think this is like top five actors like working in Hollywood today. This isn't like a personal preference. This is like legit, like I'm being completely honest. Walking Phoenix, DiCaprio, Gyllenhaal, Hardy, and then I'd probably say Gosling. I think... I'd probably say Gosling. Actually, you know what? Take Gosling out for Christian Bale. I think Christian Bale and then Gosling. Okay. Those are some fantastic choices. I'm kind of sad that Day-Lewis did retire because imagine if we actually got a film where Walking Phoenix and Daniel Day-Lewis were in it together. Imagine what that would be like. Honestly, all these actors say, I retire. If a role comes to him that he loves, you know he'll come back. Yeah. And one of my disappointments with the origin movie is if we were just going to do a one-off, I'm not going to lie. I kind of would have liked to see Walking Phoenix and John Hamm do like a Dark Knight Returns or a Killing Joke type of thing. I would have loved for them to have done that too. It's just... The thing though is I'm really excited because the guy who wrote this film wrote the fighter and I love that film with Christian Bale. Yeah. He also wrote Eight Mile, an Eminem film which is criminally underrated. That movie is amazing. I love Eight Mile. I love, love, love that film. It's a really good movie. Yeah, no. Eight Mile is great. And for me, you know straight out of Compton is fantastic. Eight Mile is right up there with straight out of Compton for me. I like Eight Mile more personally. I like Eight Mile more. Even though I don't know, it goes back and forth, but I think Eight Mile is strong but straight out of Compton is strong. I just felt like it was kind of rushed in the back half but that's a different story. But yeah, a joker man. I think we're both really excited for this film. To be honest, I'm going to be honest. I'm going to be honest right here. I don't think we'll see a trailer before the end of the year when I have to do my Top 10 most anticipated list for next year. And it will be in my Top 10. But if for some reason I get a trailer, it might be Shazam out for my number one next year. Yeah. And I'm being serious. Like right now it goes Shazam and I know a bunch of people would be like, what about Episode 9? What about Avengers 4? What about Episode 9? Zach! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop.  I love Toy Story. I love Avengers.  But Shazam is like one of my favorite Heroes of the Universe. And Zachary Levi is one of my favorite actors.   Don't count out a lot and I'm excited for that too I mean doesn't Avengers 4 doesn't that trait not trailer, but doesn't it come out around the same time that That a infinity war did isn't it gonna come around and to be early May it's May But I believe I'll move it up to April again Let's see if already Jake and do do us a solid like he did this year. Let's be honest all marketing It'll do it.  Yeah, they well I mean if they were like if they're like move it up to March. They'll probably be like Okay That's Captain Marvel man. They did Captain Marvel inches That's right Honestly, I don't think they'll hit April too because I'm pretty sure I think Shazam comes out in April too But you know yeah April. Yeah, they won't I don't think they'll touch April either. I think May is the best time for them next year because there's not that much I'm saying that now. I need to check. I'll tell you if there's one thing When it comes to what we're talking about which is the Joker there is one photo one on set photo of him in the makeup that impressed me and That's when that's when he's not smiling. That's when he looks really really dark and serious On set. I mean literally it was one of those things where I saw the set photos and I was like if I'm What is it? I forgot this movie was even a thing Wait, what wait? What is my number one film of next year? What is it? It comes out in May, too I literally cannot wait for this movie. What is it? Detective Pikachu. Oh my friggin guy I'm calling it now. It's gonna be great movie. It's calm. I'll tell you now It's gonna be a good movie Ryan Reynolds is doing the voice of fucking Pikachu So we're gonna hear Ryan Reynolds go No, he's gonna go No, what if the voice of Deadpool comes out of Pikachu funny, um, yeah next Oh Next May is actually pretty packed So Avengers kicks it off the first week and we got the technical issue the next week John Wick 3 the next week and the Elton John biopic with Taren Egerton the next week after that and Then Aladdin and the Minecraft movie come out and then the the may ends with Godzilla Mike Yeah, that's strong real fast though. Okay.    You didn't like it this this should ease your pain because one of my friends at school It is actually her favorite film. Oh, yeah, I remember you told me that they had a friend. Yeah, yeah No, it's her favorite film all the time and I can understand why was it one of my favorite films of last year It wasn't top 10. I'd say it's probably top 15. I really enjoyed Kingsman 2. I thought it was great Yeah, but honestly second one Better, uh, I'd have to say the first one only because really first one. Well because the first one was such a surprise I mean nobody was expecting Kingsman to be Kingsman personally the only thing I think the I think the second one did wrong um Was I kind of wish they didn't interject so much statesman stuff in there and not touch on it more because it just I mean they're doing a spin-off film to it, but Jesus dude, I'm so excited because I was so worried. We were never going to get another Kingsman I was so worried because this is the universe that I want to touch on I want to go into again And I'm so happy that they announced it with Matthew Bond coming back and sorry. I did say he was directing him But I he's not officially directing he is writing it I won't be surprised if he comes back to director though because he's not doing anything else right now And yeah, it's like why wouldn't you just finish your trilogy? You know, you know what I mean like Yeah, absolutely unless you're doing something else like maybe rebooting the X-Men for the MCU But that's more than likely not happening. I'm really I'm really excited for it So yeah, I just want to get that up before we go to a depressing topic Yeah, oh geez dude Yeah, I so It's perspective. We're gonna talk about telltale games closing Um, we're gonna kind of go back talk about our favorite games. They're underrated games pretty much go through their lineup And just give a sincere thank you to the whole crew And in a sense also wish the best of luck and my prayers are with you and your families because I know a lot of game developers They live paycheck to paycheck. They don't get paid the best Yeah, and I get picked up. Um, so how did telltale games start? Well, sam and max that old game that old pointy click game that lucas arts did they laid off that whole team they went and made telltale And telltale started with the walking dead Back in 2012 and that game was phenomenal. Yeah, it was phenomenal. Yeah, we'll get into that in a second But after that they start really buckling down and doing a bunch of other games They obviously did like back to the future game Jurassic Park sam and max the game thrones Well, we'll get to that that that's after i'm talking about before this is before Okay, but I mean those weren't critical success like they were success But they weren't like walking deadlock walking dead one best game of the year that year Yeah, a lot of it came of their storytelling And I will say I always felt like they were getting a little bit too ambitious Like I'll be honest on that and that's a good thing to get ambitious But I felt like they were never reinventing themselves towards the end. Yeah every game was the same Which made me not want to play all the games in a sense Which isn't the worst thing that I'm not saying this is a bad thing. I still love telltale I wish they would have touched on more games though and done more different things and that's why I kind of hope They come back together and It amazes me that no studio bought them It amazed me that a juggernaut like microsoft or sony did not buy out the studio And take that ip and take them on board because earlier this year microsoft was doing that buying a bunch of different studios for them Because they do have an issue of not having exclusive games for their console That's one of my biggest criticisms for the xbox one right now Which someone actually wanted us to debate ps4 versus xbox, which I know you don't have a xbox I have both and i'm fortunate for that, but I would still go with the ps4 even though I will say the xbox is a stronger Console the ps4 has better exclusives the xbox has had like maybe three really strong exclusives this whole almost Like five years of coming out Probably longer than that now, but it's the truth and I was shocked that they now carrying telltales on our midst I'm like, why didn't you buy them? I'm like you would have had a lot of fans And that's what I think really hurt them in the end, but um Yeah, the ceo put out this thing saying it's been an incredible difficult year for tales I was we worked to set the company on a new course Unfortunately, we ran out time trying to get there really some of our best content this year and Receive a tremendous amount of positive feedback. They always got positive feedback I think they have like one answer is bad But ultimately that did not translate the sales with a heavy heart We watch our friends leave today to spread our brand of storytelling across the game industry Which is something like I hope all these people get picked up real fast, but Well, that's something to where I think they're without a doubt I think they're going to because after it was released that What 255 people got laid off from telltale almost every single studio. I mean Naughty dog, uh, and you know what sucks? I don't think they're finishing the walking dead's new season That's awful that it's uh, it's that's and I mean that's not something that should be on people's minds But I was reading um Like the voice actress plays coming time said I am fortunately like most of you do not know the details on all this came to be I also do not know the fate of the final season the walking dead I just wrote a message share on twitter to my knowledge They were released episode two which they did announce episode two will still come out this week And then that will be it it hurts me that you the fans will not get to see Clems journey through to the end It hurts me that all all the insanely talented people who made this game won't get to see all their hard work Played off and instead trust into now having to look for work, which sucked it. It sucks and I'll honestly like I I haven't played the last the new season yet because I was very disappointed with three. Um But still I mean Even the walking dead being cancelled Wolf among us two got cancelled A stranger things got cancelled. Um, they were talking about doing another guardians of the galaxy one They're talking about doing other marvel properties. I mean they they had fantastic ideas and This is where I want to kind of go through their lineup and I'm gonna I'm gonna bring one up I've played every single one of them. I I don't know about you. I don't know But I played every single one. I play a lot of the salmon max is I played Every walking dead besides the new season. I've played guardians of the galaxy I played a little bit of the back to the future. I played Jurassic Park. I played tails from the borderland I played batman. I played game of thrones. I played a little bit of minecraft like I played them all So we're just gonna kind of go through it Starting with the walking dead. We're just gonna talk about the whole season in general. Which season did you get up to? I got up to the end of uh season two I I think that's where everyone goes and uh 400 days season two up to the season two and 400 days season three I heard mixed stuff on so It wasn't horrible, but it it There's I don't want to get into sports. I do think people should still play the games. Um But there's a certain character that you can save in two When you bring him over to three He automatically dies like earlier on and I was So disappointed that they decided to go with that Because I felt like that was complete bs to be honest But speaking of I think we should start by talking about the walking dead season one because it is what That's the game that won one game a year and it was it was great. It's still a phenomenal game to play Oh, yeah, so i'll be honest though with it It the storytelling holds up the gameplay does not It's very hard for me to trudge through and replay some of these games Especially since the gameplay is not the fun When you play the story so many times like I've played this like four times because I've had to buy it for every damn console Because I have to keep renewing it and renewing it and get a new console and move it over and catch back up So I think I burnt myself out on the telltale, but I still supported them. But walking into the first season Um, I'm talking spoilers for the season if you have not played telltale. I'm sorry. It came out in 2012 Um, see after season two I can kind of get it because those are a little bit newer, but 2012 it's 2018 now when Clementine has the choice to kill lii That I mean lii dying that's brutal was very very tough and Clementine became one of my favorite characters, which I have been praising I really want them to bring so technically the walking dead telltale takes place in the comic book world And I really want them to interject clementine into the new stories or into the television show I think bringing her or leon Would be like phenomenal like to be flat out honest I think would be so good And I've always wanted that because I felt like the what telltale did so good is bringing emotion Um to the point where I fucking cried at that part. Yeah And it's a good game But I think the second season was better than one Yeah, I'm gonna tell you second season was stronger Not as emotional, but it was stronger in its choices It was and I I don't necessarily think I enjoy the Like I I still think the story for season two is strong. I think season one story I think it was just so pure as a first season that it was just It was so good And I'll tell you right now. I haven't watched the walking dead since season six and But if they introduce real fast, I think you're real fast Someone got some people have already seen the first three episodes in the new season and say it's phenomenal So I'm like so happy because The next arc is like my favorite arc from the comic So I'm like Really hesitant since rick's leaving But I'm like hoping I'm like, okay. This is like just do your own thing now. Just do your fucking own thing now I'm gonna tell you though if they if the studio that is producing the show If they decide to bring in either lee or clementine I will watch or heck if they bring kenny into Into the walking dead if they bring one of those three into the acryl show I will start watching it again in a heartbeat because it's just the power of what telltale games has done the relationship That they set up with lee and clementine is so good and so emotionally strong that i'm pretty sure Everybody who played it was in full-blown tears by the end of the game And watching the watching clementine struggle in season two I mean the end of season two The end of season two the very end of it For me is just as emotionally strong because it left me in tears. Just like the first one did Mm-hmm. I agree So I I just love um third season was a little bit weaker. Um, just because it had that character. I just didn't like But um moving on Wolf among us comes out in 2013 Phenomenal the world the world they build up was incredible Incredible And now it's not going to be continued. Yeah, I'm just glad though because it didn't like leave off on a cliffhanger in a sense Yeah, I'm glad like I got a full story. I got the full story and that was yeah I'll tell you what though if a studio If a studio picks up the like an entire group of these Are just sitting there.  I would rather someone take the ip and do something different with it though Yeah, point and click and walking that I I really hope someone picks it up I I hope yeah, I hope someone picks up all these workers. I think that's the most important thing But yeah, wolf among us the world that they create is is is special um game of thrones was unique because it took place in between a certain period of time That No, it was never touched on in the show. So I like that I didn't love it because it didn't really affect much of the world because you can't change much within the top You know what I mean? So I didn't really love that one up tails from the borderland to be honest I was disappointed and I I a huge borderlands fan and I I found it to just be fine Minecraft I'm talking about batman arkham Oh, well, no batman the tail tail series They should have my friend always says that they should have had a fee where you can order your own comment book from all your choices I'm gonna give a little shout out Carlos Padilla. You have a great idea my friend Um, but that was a really good idea. I I really liked the batman series. I really recommend it Um, which ones did you play? Did you just say play wolf among us and? Oh wolf among us walking dead and I also I also did play the the batman telltale games Not games but game and I I did think it was great But you know, I think that's actually not just a good idea for when it comes to batman If they did that for the walking dead too, I I'd order that in the heartbeat That's a and the wolf among us because wasn't the wolf among us Or was that a graphic novel? Wolf among us was always a graphic novel, but I mean graphic novel Comic book.  So yeah, like what if they did that for all their major releases walking dead wolf among us and batman they just have it So you can order a comic of your choices, but it'd be it'd be cool. It would be cool for sure Yeah, that's too late now, but it's a cool idea Oh, well, but also I mean guardians of the galaxy was was actually really fun It was really fun and it was in a completely different universe and it was a ton of fun The music was there everything. It was all there. It was great. Um I mean they're back to futures are cool. They they did a lot. They did a lot for the industry that really changed A lot like I it sucks And there's one game called seven days to die that I'm very interested to know who's going to take over because they also touched on that Ah So depressing man. I I wish the best I wish the best for the studio and It was the best for all the people to get jobs Yeah, it sucks. It sucks a hundred percent I mean with all their storytelling will always be in there Yeah, it'll be early on for sure their best stuff was when they just started out But it's like I said, I hope the best for everybody who was laid off in the studio itself But I cannot see a world where the people behind telltale games all of these 255 people I can't think of a scenario where there isn't a studio that picks them up because these people are going to have jobs So like everybody is opening their doors for them Yeah, which is awesome because they they really do deserve that man. They they really deserve the love They do Telltale game Please check one out if you're a comic book fan, they got Batman. They got Guardians of the galaxy if you're I mean walking dead is a comic book Yeah, but I mean like superhero type stuff.  You like comedy got tails from the borderlands. Um, feel like really weird stuff wolf among us You check out their older stuff Sam and max you like detective tales if you like game of thrones game of thrones is there Um, they've done waltz and grommet stuff. I mean you can go on steam and really get any this and pretty much any computer should run this It's not like the most graphically amazing game, but It's the president for sure But it's we'll miss you. Oh, we'll miss you So I think that's where we kind of get to the end of this podcast my friend This was a great discussion discussing walking phoenix as the joker Discussing kingsman love discussing maniac discussing glow and discussing video games in general And I know we're kind of ending on a shitty shitty subject. So yeah Cody, we're gonna debate Okay, we're gonna debate Okay, that's the debate. I want you to pick a guilty pleasure franchise Okay, just one And then I'll pick one too. I already have mine. So say yours when you have it Okay, I got a thing because I don't watch a lot of guilty pleasure stuff Um Now franchises in three or uh three and more is about it two three four. Okay. Well, if we're gonna talk We're gonna talk about guilty pleasure franchises.  Um, let's see here knowing you Let's see. Do you know Cody? Do you know me so well? I can I'm trying to figure it out because the evil dead is definitely not guilty pleasure. They're They're all critically acclaimed Okay, so something that franchise is not critically acclaimed Okay, one of them Is it final destination? Fuck. No, dude.  No, it's not a horror franchise. Okay, not a horror franchise. Let's see here Um, trying to look at my movie shelf. Oh, there's one more than three films. There's more than three films Oh more than 30 gosh If you don't get this i'm like gonna personally be hurt I'm trying to think because you I yeah, I know you like a lot of the fans are screaming at you The fans are screaming at you right now It has a lot of The guilty pleasure. Is it the dcu? No Okay, let me keep going. Uh, it's not Deadpool because that's awesome. It's not written. Um, It's not comic book related. Is it? No, no, okay. Good. That's okay. Good. Good. Good. All right There's more they are based on something though. They are based on something. It's just not a comic book Okay, okay, so there's like having a seizure right now in my head Dude, I swear I'm gonna punch myself in the face if I don't get this and I bet I'm gonna do that anyways because gosh Dang it I hate you. I'm just gonna say is it the oceans films No, how are those guilty pleasures? They're good except this middle one except for two and three Three was good.   How do you not know this?  I'm like if he says pirates or transformers, I'll do either one I'm want to do pirates. I If you say transformers first, I'll do transformers.  I don't know why it's such a bad score and rotten tomatoes All the films are good.     Honestly the first one is great. It's fun. It's fun family featured It has that nice charisma like value to it. Oh, it's the second one.   It's not there.   So be a terrible movie and can't transform The action is great. Transformers is completely different.  There's that michael b Bay humor in here in this film. There's not that much humor. It's always at stakes. There's always stuff going on Yes, johnny dev has his drunkenisms where the waiter is all the rum go No, he doesn't know where all the rum went, but it doesn't matter the thing is Higher to the Caribbean has some of the best mythology in any film. Yes, you can say, okay These films shouldn't be so long. I'll agree with that the film should not be so long But the fact is the mythology is super powerful in these films The second film is a masterpiece and a lot of Aspect because you have david jones coming in as a villain with that mythology building in the action is fantastic The way that gore verbinski films the movie is great. It's not shaky cam action It's not scooby-doo.   It's great. It's But it works on all levels the fourth film. We don't talk about the fourth film. That's kind of like the spin-off It happened. It's johnny dev's story. It's kind of like solo a star wars story But it's just on stranger's tides So now we're gonna tie into anything else except the fifth film with the boat being small But then dead men tells no tales as fast and furious mixed with pirate ships They steal a damn vault. They carry a whole house through a whole city He slept with a woman in that safe and still got away with no money, but just the safe I love it. It has some of the best villains in any franchise some of the best actors and performances Johnny depp does scooby-doo. Let me tell you this Does scooby-doo.  Don't worry about it This is a fight now This is this is war.  I said the fourth one is just a spin-off that that that doesn't matter Continuity Continuity is there.  Um, he had that same curse. He had to take his father's place They literally say this They literally say I understand he took his father's place, but they killed davie jones. The entire crew was cured But they like no tell me no There still has to always be someone in the davie jones mantle. He can let everyone go They literally said this on the third film fuckface They literally said this on the third film that everyone can they can all be cured But there still has to be someone boarding the flying dutchman But that means the man has to contain the kraken but the Wait, so you're telling me that even though they turned away from being crustaceans and the people That even after all of them went through they turned back into crustaceans When was the last time you watched this movie last week?    It was probably about two years ago. Hey My point proven they are five dollars on amazon for both of them.   You watched pirates before scooby-doo.  I win Well, here's the thing. I watched the first film before scooby-doo Doesn't matter Yeah, it does. No, it doesn't Because if you like scooby-doo so much you would have watched scooby-doo over pirates of the caribbean.  No, it's not. No, it's not. It is You're only you're honestly going to tell me that it's an air No, don't don't you give me it's a masterpiece. No, seriously. It really is One two and three are fantastic five really incredible Four is good You're saying take taking captain jack sparrow turning him into a main character with all of his johnny depp isms that pretty much No, I know No, he was not the main character in two and three still he was One of them, but the other two were still main characters.  Yeah, except the fourth one. I refused to watch that one really All the heavy-handed humor that doesn't work for me. It works for me.  It doesn't mean it's right.  Both of them are summer adventures Both of them have great chemistry between every person in the cast Horror romance and comedy.  Nothing horror romance comedy. Um, wow, I can think of a franchise that has it that you haven't mentioned Of course, we are talking about guilty pleasures here Not not actual good movies Okay, what movie though? What are you saying carries off a franchise that I I Still need to complete Yes, there's not that much romance in there though. There's literally love making empires of the caribbean Really? Yes, where that's mostly a whore bruh These Why scooby-doo better I'll be quiet. I'll be quiet Okay, good. I hope so. Okay, you got you got you got two minutes. I won't talk for two minutes And let's see if you talk about pirates Okay, fine. Why scooby-doo amazing first of all They accurately represented the characteristics of characters that we have grown up with for a long time And the chemistry between freddie pritch jr. And the entire rest of the cast is phenomenal Is the second film as good as the first one? No, but sequels rarely ever are not every film is blade runner 2049 The fact of the matter is is it goofy? Yes. Is it charming? Yes. It's there. Wait real fast Did I buy the romance between shaggy and velma? Yes. No, no, no. I'm just You said something about a sequel. Can you say that one more time for me? I didn't hear every Not every film is blade runner 2049. Oh, see perfect. So not not all the pirates have to be blade runner 2049 You know what you know what zack? Here's the fact of the matter. I don't care what anybody says I bought the romance between shaggy and velma. I bought that romance right down to the bare essentials and I thought You're done. Was there some really bad dialogue? Yes There was there was bad dialogue in the movie, but it still comes down to the fact that it's a fun set of movies that you can sit down with your friends And have a good time with I mean, it's not batman and robin. It's not the bye-bye man It's not it's not the snowman neither is pirates. Which one would you rather watch pirates or snowman? Which one would you rather watch scooby-doo or snowman?

Hello and welcome to this session in which we would look at the evidence mix. Simply put, we looked at the five different types of audit tests such as risk assessment procedure, test of control, substantive test of transaction, test of details of balances, and analytical procedures. So those are the five types that we need to use in order to determine whether the financial statements are fairly presented. And we looked at them in the prior session. In the prior session also we looked at the cost of each type of testing and how do they fit together? How do they fit together? In this session we are going to look at the mix of evidence we can use in an audit. So it's very important if you don't understand what test of control, substantive testing, test of balances, or analytical procedures are, we don't really work about with risk assessment here, you want to go back and view the prior recording because the audit evidence that we're going to be mixing together require you that you understand the importance of each one and when do we use it. Now this topic is extremely important on the CPA exam because this is a scenario-based topic. In other words, you cannot memorize this, you have to understand it and apply it. Therefore, if you are a CPA candidate, I strongly suggest you take a look at my website, farhatlectures.com. Most likely you have a CPA review course, that's great. You need to keep your CPA review course, you need a CPA review course. I can be a useful addition to your CPA review course. I can add 10 to 15 points to your CPA score by adding the knowledge, by ending the understanding of how to treat each topic. Taken for example today, how we mix the evidence. Now your risk is one month of subscription. Your potential gain is passing the exam. Are you willing to take that risk? It's as simple as that and if not for anything, take a look at my website to find out how well your university is doing on the CPA exam and I do have resources for other accounting and finance courses. If you haven't connected with me on LinkedIn, please do so. Like this recording, share it with others, connect with me on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and please connect with me on Reddit, follow me on Reddit. So again, this is the five type of test. Now we're going to look at the evidence mix. How are we going to mix those tests? Well, the first thing you have to understand, not all companies and not all audits are the same. So the mix will vary widely from audit to audit. It depends on many factors and obviously we should know some of the factors like the internal control. What about internal control? And usually that drives everything else, believe it or not, internal control and inherent risk of the accounts of the company, those are the main things that kind of influence everything else. And you're going to see why in a moment. Okay, now you have to keep in mind that every audit engagement is unique, but within each audit engagement, you're going to have different cycles. So the evidence mix, the evidence mix, it may not apply to every cycle equally. Some cycles, they'll have more inherent risk than the others. For example, sales is more, maybe more risky or they have more inherent risk than the purchase cycle or then the payroll cycle or then the inventory cycle. So it depends on each cycle. So it varies from cycle to cycle. And here we're not here to give you the answer. Here I'm going to give you an illustration of how you would deploy this. So as an individual, you'll never have to worry about all the cycles together unless you are a partner. But the point you have to understand the big picture, you have to understand how we would use the audit test to deploy them in a particular audit. So hopefully it will make more sense in understanding those different audit tests. Okay, so the combination of types of tests to obtain sufficient evidence is to get that sufficient appropriate evidence to deal with the risk identify is called the evidence mix. So when we mix those type of tests to obtain the evidence, this is the definition of evident mix, which evidence mix are we going to use? And the best way to illustrate this is to work some hypothetical examples to illustrate the point. So we're going to look at four different companies or four different audit and I'm going to make assumptions and based on the assumptions we'll decide on what type of evidence or what are we going to do. E means there's an extensive amount of testing for this test, M mean medium amount of testing, S means a small amount of testing and N means we're not going to do any testing using this method. So the first company we're going to assume it's a large company, it's a large company, they have good internal control. And what's going to happen because they have good internal control, we're going to do extensive testing of their internal control. Now why would you say, why would you say we should do this? Well if they have a good internal control, let's confirm it, let's make sure it's good. If their internal control is good, remember what we learned in the prior session. If you can rely on the internal control and the inherent risk is low, what's going to happen is you will do less of substantive testing and less test of details. Why? Because those are more costly. So if the internal control we're going to assuming is good, we're going to do small amount of substantive test of transaction overall and let it go procedure, we can do extensive because analytical procedures, it's easy to do and it's relatively inexpensive. So although, you know, we're not doing a lot of substantive testing of transaction because we have good control. Well, why not? Let's do some analytical procedure, extensive analytical procedures. And here what we do, we do also a small amount of test of details, unless we're starting to find more problems. But here what we're saying, we have good internal control, low inherent risk, publicly traded company. And here what we're doing is we are also doing an integrated audit because it's a public company. We're going to have to really test the internal control. So this is basically the evidence that we, the evidence mix that we will use for company one. This is just an example. Let's look at company two. We're going to assume that company two have few internal controls and few inherent risks. So their internal controls are not great, like company one. So we cannot rely on them, but they have few controls. Therefore, we're going to test medium, medium. We're going to test the medium. That's fine. But as a result, we have to rely more on substantive test of transaction. So it's not going to be small now. It's going to be medium. So we're going to do more substantive work of transaction. Again, analytical procedures we could always do. It doesn't hurt to do a lot of analytical procedures here. And for test of details, we could also do medium test of detail balances. So here, maybe we're talking about a private small size companies. So they have some control, but we do have, we do have some substantive testing and test of details. Let's look at company three. Company three is we're going to assume they have lousy internal control. They have no internal control or if they have, they're not working, right? The design is not good. And if the design is good, they're not working. Therefore, what are we going to do? We're going to ignore. We're going to do no testing of internal control. What is that going to do? Well, you guessed it. We're going to have to do extensive testing of transaction. For analytical procedures, now we can do medium because we're doing extensive test of transaction and for test of details, you guessed it. We're going to do also extensive. Again, those two are expensive. The test of transaction and test of details. And that's why if we can basically internal control, they're exactly like preventive. If you can have a preventive, if you can have preventive control, it's better because they're going to save you money when you do the test of transaction and test of detail balances. So it's a good way to just compare one in three, kind of the opposite of each other. One company, one has really good control. We do less of substantive testing. Three, they have lousy or no internal control. We do more of those testing that cost more money and time. So relatively, it becomes more expensive. And let's look at company four. Company four, we're going to assume they have a medium internal control. So we're going to start that they have medium internal control, just like company two. So notice company two, we said they have a medium internal control. That's what we're going to think. Then we're going to start to test the internal control. And what we find out as we test the internal control, they have more and more problems. Although we assess it as medium initially, but now we have more problems. What are we going to do? If that's the case, we're no longer going to do medium substantive testing. We're going to do extensive substantive test of transaction. Why? Because we thought it's medium, but as we learned later, it's not as good as we thought. Again, here in a little procedure, let's do extensive as well. In test of detail balances, let's do as extensive as well, rather than medium, it's extensive. Although test of control is medium, but kind of we were shocked of how weak it was, how weak it was. Obviously, what's that going to do? It's going to increase the price, increase the hours that we need to spend on the audit. So bear in mind, this is just an overview. And if you can make sense of this, how they all fit together, why? Why if I have a good internal control, I have to do less substantive testing versus if I don't have a good internal control, I have to do more substantive testing. This is the idea that you want to get out of this, because each cycle will have its own test of control and its own substantive test of transaction and test of details. Again, analytical procedures, kind of like a backup in a sense, their backup, you could always do even four, three, why not do extensive test of analytical procedures? It doesn't cost a lot of money. It doesn't cost a lot of time. Frankly, personally, I love analytical procedures. And the reason I do that, because I got very good, I got very good at them because I did a lot of reviews and you would learn about reviews. And when you do reviews rather than audit, the main thing is analytical procedures. So I became an expert in analytical procedures at the beginning, they seem intimidating, they will not make sense, but analytical procedures are very powerful, especially if you understand the business. And if you work with that company for several quarters, if you're doing quarterly, if it's better, if it's several years, and the managers rely on them like partners, partners are very good because they're so experienced with this, they can use analytical procedures much, much more efficiently. And what I did, I would ask the partner I work with a lot of questions about, well, how about this? How about that? And I would work with scenarios with them. Actually, my manager too, she was really good. And she taught me those, the tricks and what to look for when it comes to analytical procedures.

ff onto the slower uh hard drives that are slightly less hugely expensive sounds like I need to buy a new chair doesn't it anyway that's a great question um cooked through the year do you have a hard drive uh cooked through the year or anyone else do you do use hard drives um here we go I have a couple and yeah they're really expensive yes yes well I don't know if this this helps but um I found getting a a really expensive one for 250 gigabytes or 500 gigabytes um and use that for your editing and then use the cheaper mechanical hard drives for storing them long term uh that seems to work for me really well so editing with an SSD is better and these for storage um but I have edited with those and they're not had any problems with that so I've now downloaded thank you for the questions this is uh this is great but you're right we should be watching harry and megan I can't I can't keep going till nine o'clock the the original idea was to to follow this video all the way through to upload and writing the tags and descriptions but I might do that as a separate video now uh because I feel I'm I'm flagging I'm gonna just have a little lie down in a minute um right so I've downloaded my video that I want to drop in at the end here so what I need to do is go to finder and then find the right video it's this one and I'll drop that into my uh library and then I'm going to find a nice bit of footage to drop in here oh you didn't see any of that did you let's go back to the two shot there we go so final minute it's the final final minute we're nearly there team anything up to 50 characters then that means that your youtube account needs to be moved to a google brand account and you're in luck because I've made right I might drop the brand account footage in there let's do that hey my family's come hello I'm still going live you okay yeah really you've been playing fortnite yeah oh my goodness see this is this is the reality of running a youtube channel neglecting your family um can I come see you in a minute I'm nearly finished yeah well done um so I'll hit cut there hey I can see myself yeah you can that I need to I need to drop this in so I'll see you in a minute okay yeah I've been getting some odd comments in the chat so maybe your friends are watching yeah your personal youtube account see you in a minute it sounds it's really complicated but it's really simple and straightforward I made a video all about it so I'm going to use all that footage reuse reuse so just find the out points that's my out point there so you hit o and then let's just drop it in see what happens that's not nearly enough turn the sound up that means that your youtube account needs to be moved to a google brand account and you're in luck because I've made a complete step by step walkthrough on this video here it's on screen now right yeah I haven't got much footage so you have to stretch it out youtube accounts needs to be moved to a google brand account and you're in luck because I've made a complete step by step don't actually need that thumbnail now because I've made a complete step by step walkthrough on this video here it's on screen now and the link is in the description and you want to watch this video from about two minutes fifty seconds in I show you the entire process of moving your right so a couple of things there I hit the wrong out point so that is my out point and I've got the footage so I've imported that footage now so go up to that video we'll see if we can find something else I usually put a little montage at the beginning with the best shots so I'm hoping I could just steal from that and obviously I want footage that doesn't have my face on it so I can I can grab that shot there take every last frame they're in point and then I'll play it through and then I'll hit o to set my out point I'll just put that straight onto the timeline there see if I've got anything else I can steal I think I've taken every last bit of footage that's a good one let's try that shot there so go in out shake it all about I'll put that in there okay let's see how that looks might need more look because I've made a link through on this video here it's on screen now and the link is in the description and you want to watch this video from about two minutes fifty seconds in I show you the entire process of moving your personal YouTube channel that's linked to your Google account and move it over to a brand account once it's moved to a brand account you can change the name to great that too you can one might just put the thumbnail back on there move it over to a brand account once it's moved to a brand account you can change the name to anything you want you can also do other things like have other people manage your YouTube channel for you now the second problem that might be happening is uh this is a lot of talking for you now the second problem might be happening is that it says that you're not allowed to change your name this might mean that you are on something called a G Suite account okay so this is where my indecisiveness kicks in again I think I should lose this whole section sorry turn that down I think I should lose this whole section because it's just talking heads I haven't got any footage to cover it and it's really important to someone who hasn't been able to achieve what this video wants them to achieve but I think I'm going to put the details of this fix in the description rather than have something in the video saying look at the description so I'm going to be brutal but I'm going to be kind brutal because this is where I'll do a backup of my project so this is the project I'm using right here and I'm going to make a duplicate called duplicate project and then I'm going to call this one um short version and what I always forget to do is open this one and I work on the other one so open this project so I've got that longer version saved as project one project two is the one that I'm going to use that I think I'm going to use but if I have second thoughts at nine o'clock tonight after watching Harry and Megan I think I should have left in the G-suite mention I can at least I've still got a version where that's still in so let's go for the brutal shorter version now have other people manage your YouTube channel for you now the second

YouTube channel for you I hope this works for you and on screen now is a link straight to that video where I walk you through the entire process of changing your channel name to be a brand account That's on screen now, and I hope this works out well for you. Hello. Great. So what I'm going to do now is play the whole thing through, and I'll try not to stop. But if I do, it'll be to make it even more excellent. Hello, can you change your YouTube channel name just by using your iPad? If you want to change your YouTube channel name by using your cell phone and iPhone or an Android mobile phone, I've got you covered completely. There's a link on screen and in the description where I walk you through the entire process. But I got lots of comments asking me how can I do this specifically on an iPad? Hello, my name's Neil Mossy.   So you can avoid all of my mistakes and all of my obstacles. Now, you and me are going to get through this quickly. I promise. But I'll also cover a couple of problems at the end of the video. Sometimes this doesn't work. Or some of the steps might not actually appear on your particular situation. Let's put the iPad up on the screen now. And this is my YouTube app on my iPad. And the very first important thing we're going to do is to check that you're logged into the right YouTube account to change.  So make sure you've got the correct channel showing. And then we're going to hit your channel. I've got two, not one, but two of my smiling, girly faces there. There are two buttons along here. There's edit channel and manage videos. So we're going to hit edit channel. And it brings up the channel settings for my YouTube channel. This is called type word dad. I think this is quite a negative name. It was deliberate, but I've had to change a part. And I want to change my YouTube channel name. You've actually got three options here at the top. You can change the banner or your profile photo. At the bottom, you can change the channel description. And sandwich between the two is the channel name. So we're going to click on the pen icon on the right hand side here. It's quite easy to miss. And this is where we can edit the channel names. Now, if yours doesn't look like this, just keep watching because I've got some fixes for you. But I'm going to rename this channel dad delivers in capitals. Then I'm going to hit the tick in the top right hand corner. There we go. The channel name has been changed. Now, there's a very high chance that your YouTube app doesn't look like this. It actually presents you with a first name and a last name. If you want the single box like this, where you can name your channel with one name or maybe a phrase, anything up to 50 characters, then that means that your YouTube account needs to be moved to a Google brand account. And you're in luck because I've made a complete step by step walkthrough on this video here. It's on screen now. And the link is in the description. And you want to watch this video from about two minutes, 50 seconds in. I show you the entire process of moving your personal YouTube channel that's linked to your Google account and move it over to a brand account. Once it's moved to a brand account, you can change the name to anything you want. You can also do other things like have other people manage your YouTube channel for you. I hope this works for you. And on screen now is a link straight to that video where I walk you through the entire process of changing your channel name to be a brand account. That's on screen now. And I hope this works out well for you. That's it. That's it. That's all there is to it. So let's take a look at some, yeah, video wars very kindly say less is more. Yeah, I think I'm really glad that I took out that 22nd section. And that that could be quite a big percentage on a what three minutes 30 video. So yeah, but I've got the longer version. If I if I balk at it when I watch it through online cook through the year I use Final Cut Pro to I guess what I'm not I'm not I don't think I'm a great editor. I see what helped me. I wonder if I can show it on here because I'm a big fan of I justine. I wonder if I turn this down. I could give a plug to this in the app store. There was this brilliant tutorial for Final Cut Pro. So I just need to bring up my dock so I can show it. So my screen has been shrunk because I'm streaming. But I pin I justine. Yeah, it's called excuse me. It's called I justine teaches FCPX I justine teaches Final Cut Pro cost about $35 and after you spent $300 on Final Cut, this felt like a bit of a stretch. But it is absolutely fantastic. It's absolutely amazing. Oh, I'm holding it up to the screen. I've got it on screen now. I can show you. This is absolutely brilliant. You get it in the app store. And basically she walks you through how she cuts her vlogs and her YouTube videos. So it's a lot more geared towards YouTube channels for a start. But the other great thing with this tutorial is that it's a plugin to Final Cut. So you can actually edit the same footage that she is editing at the same time. And you can download the files that she's actually cutting with you. And you can actually do the same edits. And it goes through an overview how to import your clips, how to organize your clips, which I found really difficult after using iMovie, how to use in and out points and favoriting clips, which is what I just did. It goes even more complicated with multi-camera clips and how to drop in B-roll. That's where you put in footage of the thing that you're talking about. But I could not, let's just pause iJustine, I could not recommend this tutorial more highly. It was the best $35 I've ever spent. And it's fun not having anything on the line and just have a play around with the clips that she's provided. And it's sort of because of that that I wanted to make this video as well. Because it's just helpful seeing other people do it. So it covers sounds and different collections of clips. So yeah, in the App Store, I obviously don't earn any money from recommending that. But that is something that has saved me about six months of bumping around. So I don't know if that helps. Chris, I can't believe that I can't. But this is actually a fast edit for me. You should take about three days of chunks of bits. Thanks for the recommendation. Yeah, the shortcuts, this course is how I learnt them. And I only use about four. So you can set an in point and an out point with i and o. And Apple B for Blade. Those are the quickest ones. So while I'm whizzing around, so like here, if I highlight the clip, I use hold down. It's not called Apple anymore, is it? It's called Command. So Command B does that. And obviously Command Z or Z undoes that. So that's the one I use the most. And you can set an in point and an out point with, so here. So if I wanted to come in here, if I wanted to come in there, I hit i to set my in point and then play through the clip. You can see the yellow box in that top left hand corner and press o for out. And q drops it onto the line and w drops it onto the main timeline. But I learnt all of those from the iJustine course. Just as you go along and it just sticks somehow. Thank you so much. Oh yeah, iJustine's some great tips. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Her YouTube channel is really, really good. Although my kids have started calling her my girlfriend in front of my long suffering wife, which doesn't help. Are we watching your girlfriend again? No, it just happens to be yet another Californian blonde empowered woman on YouTube that I'm watching. But they tease me. So that's not helpful. Anyway, I don't know if you have any other questions. I don't want this stream to end. But if you've got any other questions, drop them in the chat now. And thanks so much for coming along with me on this journey. So we conch out one camera and we've blown two microphones, I think. I've got three to two cups of chicory drink. And yeah, all for a three minute video. Obviously you can make them as intricate as you like. I've got a feeling that I sometimes worry that I overproduce my videos and that just having there's something really compelling. I'll just put this as a counterpoint to the whole four hours. But there's something really compelling. And maybe this proves that that if you just stay on one camera shot and just hold that eye line for three minutes, there's something really, really compelling about that. And it takes a fraction of the time to upload to YouTube as well. So if it helps you to make more videos by editing less, I think we should all be doing that. I don't know what it is, but my personality type, I've just got to perfectionize it. I've got to just keep nipping and tucking. And it's fun and it zips the viewer along. And it means that the audience retention might be better. But there's still something really compelling and unique to YouTube, I think, to just stay on one shot for three minutes. So I'll just put that thought out there as well. I think we're done, aren't we? Should we all go and have something to eat and go and watch Harry and Meghan? Thanks so much for being here. If you're watching on the replay and you've hit this point of the video, why not hit the thumbs up button or the subscribe button? That will help me get closer to 10,000 subscribers where I hope to explore those features of YouTube. I think at 10,000 subs you get. Where you get access to the YouTube space in London, which is something I'd like to do when it reopens. You also, I think you can put merchandise up and something I'm going to do next week is to... I'm going to buy a fleece, because you can see my fleece in that video. It's got holes in it. I'm going to buy a branded fleece with my Great British YouTubers copyright infringing nation flag damaging logo on. And I'm going to share that as a video. We've also got a comparison between the Lavalier microphone and a USB podcaster microphone. Video awards, thank you. Thank you so much, Chris. Thanks for being there all the way through the day. I like 10-minute videos for that sweet extra ad-op. Yeah, let's make these videos longer to get the extra ad breaks as well, obviously. Thanks again. And I guess I'll see you. You are the audience. You are my hardcore cohort. And I think we can all help each other out. I think we're all at a similar stage. So if you're able to hook up with each other on these other channels that you've seen in the chat, I think all of us are pretty much at the same stage as this. So I hope we can help each other out as we try and get more subscribers. Anyway, I'll leave you with a shot of the beautiful UK countryside. This is how it's looking. It's there. The sun is setting. I've been going for so long. The sun is now actually setting. I'll leave you with that view, that gray view of the Southdowns. And thanks so much for watching. I'm going to try and click and broadcast with my other hand.


Well today is a big day for many students as they start a new chapter in life with graduation. Haiti Clotter shows us how Bemidji State University graduates also share their special moment with family. It's exciting but it's kind of scary it's all done four years gone by past. Before walking across the stage and earning their degrees Cassidy and Cameron Trott are performing in Bemidji State University's ensemble. The girls say they've done everything together. After all they are twins so they'll continue their studies and music together. We're going to be going to the University of North Dakota and pursuing a master's in music and performance and yeah we both got graduate assistantships up there. It was a packed house at the Sanford Center for BSU's 98th commencement ceremony. There were 48 master's degree recipients and more than a thousand new graduates. No matter what path each student took it was a day of celebration. For non-traditional students like Alicia Christensen it took her almost 10 years to graduate because she became a mother. Decided to go back to school started over at Northwest Technical College went for my accounting degree and then a business degree then I finally graduated from both those and came to BSU. Friends and family of graduates received a special shout out. Students were told to send a text message or picture to their family members to capture the moment. It's good. I'm surprised. David Becker made the journey from California just to see his daughter walk. He also had a surprise for her too. An associate's degree. Gotcha. She said if I took the classes this summer I could walk with you. Some graduates say having family in their corner makes all the difference. It's one of those landmark occasions. You want your whole family to be there. You want your friends to share it. It's fun. We made it. Without their support I wouldn't be here. There's no way I could have ever done this without them. All the hard work in late night studying finally paid off. In Bemidji, Haiti Clotter, Lakeland News. This was also the first graduating class for Dr. Faith Hensrud as president of BSU and Northwest Technical College. Tonight NTC also had its commencement where 233 new graduates received their diplomas.
