Let's Do The News! (May 18, 2013)

(cheers and applause)

JC: So, you would say that this film would have been quite better if it has some sort of pantomime feeling?

JM: Oh yes. Sometimes, this film needs to have an even more darker feel than than the first one and best of all, it needs some originality because this film feels more of a retold rather than having an original storyline.

JC: Okay, I suppose that it needs some originality but hey, sure is nice to see the Sherlock dude being the bad guy in the film. Anyway, let's do the news!

JM: Yeah and it's great news! Underground Toys are ready reveal brand new Doctor Who figures and most of which are based from Series 7. Here it is...


(awwww)

JM: Yep. They're all in 3.75 inches glory. There's the Dalek, Weeping Angel, The Doctor (in his new outfit), there's Clara Oswald for the very first time, new Ice Warrior, and new Cyberman as seen in last week's Nightmare in Silver episode.

JC: Yeah. When you said 3.75 inches, I think this feels like it's been downsized. I mean come on, in the past, those 5-inch figures based on Doctor Who characters are somewhat enjoyable but for this new lineup, take a look...



(audience laughing)

JC: Yep, some downsizing occurred and feels like there's been some sort of cost-cutting issues, I can tell. However, despite those new Series 7 figures looking shoddy than I was expecting, I'm sure those 3.75-inch figures should be enough. Count on it...

RH: Yeah/ And you what else we're expecting?

JC: What is it?

RH: Seems that we're almost at the Series 7 finale of Doctor Who and oh my gosh I'm so scared! Scared to find out The Doctor's full name and that will make everyone's head explode and their pencils...

(audience laughing)

JC: What do you mean, head-exploding?

RH: As in...the Isabella Garcia-Shapiro kind of head exploding way.

(audience laughing)

JC: Hammond? Have you been watching too much P&F just so you can explain everything using those P&F references?

(audience laughing)

RH: Oh wait. Did I just said that? (laughing) Anyway, if you think you braved enough on the finale, I think we might as well forget about what just happened okay? I mean come on out here...

JC: Yeah! Come on out here! Let's survive watching the finale...if it kills me...

(audience laughing)

JC: Now, as you may now, when cars are fully loaded with some high-tech features, sometimes it's good but sometimes it's bad. What's worse is when cars starting to drive by themselves in the future and now, I just heard that a company called Visteon is working on some sort of AI interface that I find it very confusing. I don't know, it's called HABIT.

RH: HABIT?

JC: Human Bayesian Intelligence Technology. What this works is to learn and predict what in-car setting a driver would like, in advance of him even having to ask for them. Here's a clip that sums everything up...



RH: Awkward that...

JC: Yeah, this concept matches your favorite station, your climate control preferences, and so on, this so-called HABIT Cockpit Concept sure knows what you're doing inside the car. It maybe convenient but it's a bit annoying for me, I'm afraid...

(audience laughing)

JC: Now, we heard that Honda is returning to Formula One...as an engine supplier to the McLaren Formula One Team and you know what this means?

JM: Let me guess...does this going to bring back the Prost-Senna memories when this was in effect?

JC: Well, possibly but actually, this is a cause when McLaren is looking for some new engine supplier because of its lackluster performance in past races. Reason why McLaren chose Honda as their engine supplier because Honda worked on their 1.6L turbo engine for Formula One purposes in the next season and in my opinion, if a Honda engine was used in a McLaren Formula One racer...

RH: Oh wait, lemme guess... VTEC KICKED IN, YO!

(audience laughing)

JC: Huh?

RH: Oh sorry. Never mind about that but anyway, I'm glad that Honda's back to supply engines for McLaren Formula One team in the 2015 season. Let's not hope it would be somewhat putting a Saturn V rocket in a pressure cooker...

(audience laughing)

JC: Now, there's more news for bronies worldwide. This time, and I'm not making this up, there's going to be a crossover comic between Transformers and...wait for it...

RH: Wait, let me guess... MLP?

(audience laughing)

JC: (gasp) You were right! Oh no! It's boys' stuff meets girls' stuff, well forget about the whole "girls' stuff" thingy because grown men got into that. Seems that Transformers team up with My Little Pony for some comic book of some sort and what the folks are saying, the cover will see Pinkie Pie dressed as Autobot leader Optimus Prime.

(audience laughing)

JC: No! Seriously! I'm not making this up! Honest! It's going to be showcased at this year's San Diego Botcon this June 27 to 30 at the Town and Country Resort.

RH: And I think this would be a total embarrassment to the public...

(audience laughing)

JC: Thanks, Hammond. And you know what? That's the end of the news. Guess the doof is due...

(audience laughing)
