StaceyGUEST
And I had to listen to it and I just tweeted back at him because this was before Twitter was a complete cesspit.
StaceyGUEST
Tweeted back at him, sounds like a bit of music from Short Circuit 2.
StaceyGUEST
And he was like, it is.
StaceyGUEST
It's the jaunty little tune where the tiny baby robots are like going through the department store at the start.
StaceyGUEST
And my husband was like, I can't believe you even remember.
StaceyGUEST
I was like, you don't understand how much I used to watch Short Circuit when I was a kid.
StaceyGUEST
Short Circuit, Short Circuit 2, like two of my favourite films.
StaceyGUEST
I was so gutted when I learnt that Fisher Stevens was not in fact an Asian man, but the less said about that, the better, I think.
Rich ShertenliebHOST
That is not something that somebody who knows the game of baseball would do.
Rich ShertenliebHOST
That was instruction from Johnny 5 up in the front office.
Ken LairdHOST
[laughs]
Rich ShertenliebHOST
The computer-
Ken LairdHOST
Johnny 5
Rich ShertenliebHOST
... shooting out spreadsheets.
Rich ShertenliebHOST
All right, you got one more than that?
StizPANELIST
Yeah.
Ken LairdHOST
That was instruction from Johnny 5 up in the front office.
StizPANELIST
[laughs]
Ken LairdHOST
The computer.
StizPANELIST
Johnny 5.
Ken LairdHOST
Shooting out spreadsheets.
Ken LairdHOST
All right, you got one more of these?
BryanHOST
cushion, kid! That cushion getting torn apart was as sad to me as Johnny Five being beat to death in
BryanHOST
Short Circuit 2.
BryanHOST
It was that sad.
BryanHOST
No! My cushion! Don't kill the robot, he can feel!
Catbus RussHOST
Like Mac and his family, Johnny Five.
Catbus RussHOST
Sorry to spoil Short Circuit 2.
Catbus RussHOST
But there it is.
Catbus RussHOST
Robot becomes sentient after a bolt of lightning.
Kinky KylieGUEST
There's a second one.
Kinky KylieGUEST
Like, Johnny Five, I think, is, like, the second movie.
Kinky KylieGUEST
I haven't seen it yet, but I want to.
Mistress MiaHOST
Oh, yeah.
BrianHOST
And in some cases, there were white characters or white actors playing those roles, even getting into the 80s.
BrianHOST
And I'm looking at you, Short Circuit and Short Circuit 2.
BrianHOST
But...
BrianHOST
You know, it's one of those things that you kind of take for granted nowadays that here you have these characters and they're just written the way that they are.
Jason ScukanecHOST
Right.
Isaac RoppHOST
It's like Johnny 5's in there from Short Circuit.
Isaac RoppHOST
I just-
Jason ScukanecHOST
Like, how you gonna attack that? Tear gas, K9, robot.
Mike SchulteHOST
Ri- Rich is so awesome.
Mike SchulteHOST
They have so much great memorabilia here, and also until August of '27, you get to see a real size Johnny 5 in the Heritage Museum that they have down there.
AJ VensHOST
Yeah.
Mike SchulteHOST
They're, they're building, like, a new fu- film museum here.
AJ VensHOST
It's like we talk about with, like, a John Williams score.
AJ VensHOST
It's like, for some reason, it's just already in my brain.
AJ VensHOST
And so, like, like, Johnny 5, like, the robot is, is there.
AJ VensHOST
Um, and honestly, and you're right, Sean, it's that shot of the bridge.
MattHOST
Um, it was just really weird how accurate, um, the, the Oregonian girl look was and, uh, everything about her.
MattHOST
Um, but beyond that, like, so the, the whole Johnny 5 aspect of it, it's just like all these things that we c- thought were really ridiculous, uh, back in 1985 when it came out, like, he picks up an encyclopedia and he's, like, flipping through it like, "Need input."
CoreyHOST
Yeah, yeah.
MattHOST
And he, like, flips through it all at, you know, turbo speed, and then he absorbs it, and it's like that is exactly like what is happening right now with AI-
MattHOST
Yeah.
MattHOST
And so, um, and so anyway, that, it, uh, the, you know, like [laughs] the super intelligence and, um, the, like, this thing, it's reprogramming itsel- itself.
MattHOST
Johnny 5 is reprogramming itself.
MattHOST
And the thing is, it's like Johnny 5 is cute and charming and, um-
