Jesse HassengerHOST

Brett ArnoldHOST
can do wrong.
BrettGUEST
I just mainly know him from one of that horrible A-Team movie in which he was Murdoch, I think it was.
BrettGUEST
And then District 9, he was in those, I think it was in those Neil Blomkamp, how do you say his name? Whatever, like District 9 and all that.
BrettGUEST
And so when they said that it was him, I was like, okay, because in my head from the show or from the books, is Bonnard is this wiry, kind of elderly man.
BrettGUEST

EwanHOST
Um, I have no idea what Neil Blomkamp's nowadays, if in he...
EwanHOST
if what his story [laughs] is nowadays, but I don't know, maybe someone like that to kind of tell an interesting sort of dystopian sort of sci-fi sort of thing.
EwanHOST
Um, that could be cool.
JoeGUEST

JoeGUEST
And Neil Blomkamp, the guy who was going to do Alien 5.

Stuart MulrainHOST
And as much as I enjoy the film, for a wholly unsatisfying conclusion for a lot of people.
Ross BeamishGUEST
Yeah.
Stuart MulrainHOST
Um, I mean, I'd love to s- I'd love to have seen the Neill Blomkamp film where it essentially ignored 3 and Resurrection.
