Anyway, four or five meters. And it feels slightly off-putting. Like, John, you would absolutely hate this because your body is telling you you just moved, but yet... or I guess your eyes are telling you you just moved, but your body is saying, no, I'm still sitting here. John's out. Yeah, right, exactly. It's not off-putting to the point that it was bad, but it was weird.

Yeah, it really, really does. And another moment that was just incredibly striking to me is, okay, slight spoiler, water enters the submarine. I know Mark was especially surprised.

Yeah, they should work on that. But water enters the submarine, and at some points, the camera gets a little bit submerged.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly. And so I watched it the first time, and I didn't notice this, and I re-watched it this morning just to have it fresh in my mind for today. And I noticed in myself that as the camera was about to go underwater, I kind of took a breath. Like, not a...

Kind of breath, but like a, you know, it was just subconscious that I felt like I was about to be underwater, so I should breathe in a little bit.

But that's just indicative of either how gullible I am or... how incredibly immersive it is. And the story, like, I'm a sucker for submarine movies, for sure. And the story, there's not a lot you can do in 15 minutes-ish. And it was good for a 15-minute story. But I think, like, I was listening to Upgrade, and Jason and Mike, I think, were more impressed by the story than I was.

But in terms of an exemplar, you know, an example of what media and film could be, Oh, it's so cool. And I've hung around Todd Vaziri enough that, like I was saying earlier, the vocabulary of it is, I think, very fascinating. And how do you accomplish... directing attention? How do you accomplish keeping the visuals clean so you don't have craft services hanging out just barely off screen?

How do you accomplish all that? It was incredibly, incredibly cool. And the story wasn't that moving to me, but the experience was really moving. And I have no idea... if Apple is letting people watch this at an Apple store, I would presume not.

Um, but if, if that's such a, or if you have a friend with a vision pro, um, you know, which said differently, if you have a friend with more money than sense, um, then you should definitely watch it. It is very, very neat. And even if you don't have a vision pro, there's a five minute ish making of, which I think is on YouTube. I'm not a hundred percent sure of that. Um,

I will try to remember to put it in the show notes, but I might forget. But there's a five-minute making up. Certainly, it's on Apple TV+, and that is not immersive. That is just a straight-up regular old video. And that was incredibly cool, too, to see how they did it. And this is... This is what I want Apple to do. I want them to, I presume, write a blank check to say, go do some cool shit.

And that's what this is. They just went and did some cool stuff. And they apparently built a gigantic submarine set. I'm probably exaggerating, but I thought they said that they built half of a submarine or something like that. And it does look like The Making Of is on YouTube, so I'll put a link in the show notes. But it is incredibly, incredibly cool, and really unlike anything else.
