Transcribing The Show

Instructions

Thanks for volunteering to help us out. We are making a giant effort to transcribe the show to 1- help those with audio impairments (a requirement in some universities where the show is being displayed) and 2- increase search engine efficacy. This is a huge job so we really appreciate your support.

To get started, choose a show from the list below that still has a link and type it up. That’s it really. Just listen to Brett and write down what he says. We have included a sample down below so you can get an idea of what we’re looking for.

Before you start shoot us an email (theshow@whatyououghttoknow.com) to let us know which one you want to do and we’ll remove the link. (That way two people wont work on the same one at the same time.)

Once you’re done send us the text file (Word Docs are okay) in an email and we’ll cross off the finished show.

Sample

Summer is here and I can’t help but think I’ve seen this movie before. Indiana Jones has aged 30 years but he’s still fighting Nazis. Wait, it’s Commies now. Either way, shouldn’t this movie be taking place in the 70’s. Throw in some flower power and we’ve got Hippy-ana Jones. Yeah Man. Now that’s something I haven’t seen before. I don’t want to see it. Flower power Indiana Jones. Maybe his whip could be made of something funny, like hemp.

Instead we’ll find out how the incredible Hulk became the incredible Hulk… again.

Oh! And let’s not forget Heath Nicklson playing opposite Christian Keaton in summer blockbuster that is sure to surprise you. Spoiler, Batman wins in the end.

Then there are the cartoons that weren’t any good getting turned into movies that don’t look any good. [Coughs] Speed racer. Even the popcorn doesn’t taste as good.

Mike Myers is in another perverse Mike Myers movie steeped with his own mojo and midgets – Yeah Baby! – And Will Ferrell is in another Will Ferrell movie acting like… Will Ferrell. I’m sorry they’re all the same.

I guess if you are really looking for originality you could check out Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, the classic bad guys who are now playing good guys that are bad guys that are really good guys. I mean the trailer on that is so morally ambiguous I’m not even sure who to root for and I haven’t even walked into the theater yet.

Need more? Let’s throw in another super hero film but this time let’s make it about Will Smith. And Ice Age is back with a bigger dinosaur. And let’s no forget everybody’s favorite, Tropic Thunder. Yet another movie about people making movies.

I mean you gotta do what you know and that’s all these people do. Isn’t there a horror film about a documentary film maker? It would be funnier if it was a documentary horror film maker, but how is there a horror documentary? Is there such a thing as horror documentary?

And I’m almost looking forward to the romantic comedy about the love expert that unexpectedly falls in love with someone else. Let’s see, takes place in a city… check. It’s too bad I’ve already seen it before.

So whether you’re haunted by this years mummy, or you feel like you’re going to have a hard time squeezing back into those traveling pants, keep your head up. There’s always Space Chimps. The sleeper hit of the summer. Hey. It could be an awesome film. I doubt it.

Honestly the best movie of the summer, you’ve probably already seen. I mean Iron Man was pretty good. I didn’t expect it to be that good.
