I've never said that either, by the way. Yes, you have. I think you say he's ugly. No, it's just uninspired. It's generic as hell. That's it. Find the clip. If I ever... That is me being like, oh, I know. But I just want to clear, like, my thoughts on Astro Bot is that it's uninspired and generic, and that is so sad for the most inspired 3D platformer I've played that wasn't made by Nintendo.
So here's my thing. You're absolutely right. But what's interesting here is it could go the PlayStation route of having all the other guys and that'd be really cool and exciting. But And I'd say this, that would be even like the cherry on top to what I'm about to say. I don't know that they'd go this direction, but yeah, I think, Oh, Astro bots are in real life and it's a fucking Garfield movie.

That's going to fucking suck. But I do think they have an opportunity if they're not trying to have this be a billion dollar franchise. If they just put out this movie, like with an understanding of like trying to hit a specific level of audience, it could be cool to make a movie about these little guys inside a PlayStation five.

you know, and like, kind of like go through the GPU and go through all the different areas and like make it like an adventure within a PlayStation. And like, I know people can be like, it's just a commercial for PlayStation. Yeah, guys, sorry. It is what it is, but they can make that good because guess what? They did that in video game form.

I think they can do that in movie form of like, have it kind of teach audiences about, How this thing works and stuff. And I think it could be interesting that way. And I think it could be very visually entertaining. And I think obviously we know the music is awesome. Like that could be a very fun experience. That can easily. Just take the plot of Astro Bot.

or Playroom even, and just adapt that, I think they could make that work. It's going to take very talented people, but I think they got that.

You know what I mean? I think so. I mean, I think, yes. I mean, I know the answer is yes because it happened to us playing Astro Bot. Yeah. You know? I think PlayStation's been around long enough.

Yes, and I think that that could work. And that's probably what it would be. But it could even be... Okay.
Yes, and I think that that could work. And that's probably what it would be. But it could even be... Okay.
I could see it as a Wreck-It Ralph type situation, and maybe we are going through different PlayStations and things like that, but I do think even just the console boot-up sounds, and think a bit more of Astro's Playroom as opposed to Astro Bot, where Astro's Playroom, all the little guys were in there, but rescuing them wasn't the focus.

They were just kind of around, and little homages or little bits and bobs. I can see that happening. And I think that's all you really need. Give people moments to pop off, but have a really heartfelt story about cute little guys. You know what I mean? And find some, like, maybe they get redesigned here. Maybe they fix the problem. Maybe they make them. They would have to. God damn it, Tim.

I mean, they would, right? They did it to Mario. They're going to do it to Astro Bot. You're right. Yeah. You're right. Oh, man. If they redesigned Astro Bot, bless. That would be huge. Crazy.
