Hello everyone welcome back to Cable Cutter Critics. I'm Tom Mayher. Mike:I'm Mike Roth. Tom: This week we took a look at a deaf

at Netflix Original

It's called The Toys That Made Us.

The Toys That Made Us. I stumbled across this.

I just I really want to see this and see how all these

important toys to us when we were kids, how they you know came about. Mike: We get into it

It's like every single toy, iconic toy, that you can ever

imagine. It was amazing. We watched the first three episodes

the first one was Star Wars

the second one was

Barbie, which Julie was obsessed with. The third one was He-Man and

starting with Star Wars

Like you said, what were some takeaways in Star Wars? Tom: That the one guy had over

400,000 Star Wars toys, holy cow, it was in this huge room and

I have no idea how much money that could be worth. I mean it's in the millions

I just thought it was kind of cool that

nobody wanted to take on Star Wars because like how it just like

Everybody or most people know that people thought that Star Wars was not going to be any good. They thought it was gonna

going to be just this crap movie, so nobody wanted to take it on, so Kenner Toys

was a smaller toy manufacturer in Cincinnati, Ohio, and they come up with,

This is the deal that we got for you.

For every dollar,

George Lucas got two and a half cents,

Fox got two and a half cents, and Kenner got ninety-five percent of

the profits. They ended up having to reevaluate that, but they had such a huge

total. Mike:but it wasn't until after

the original series had already come out. Tom: Right, after they made a ton of money. Mike: You know what, and I'm not even kidding when I say this,

I think

the amount of money that was made from these toys, I think that seriously had a

direct effect on the prequels coming out

so far after the movies

because the contract had expired and Lucas could come back to the table and shop, so he could get a better percentage point because

No one until this time had seen anything

like this at all when it came the toy sales since it made Kenner a powerhouse.

Tom: Yeah, it just made it like a huge. Mike: Oh, it was ridiculous. Yeah, so we watched the Star Wars one

Then we watched the Barbie one and as soon as the Barbie one turned on

Julie just stopped what she was doing and she came over and sat with us and watched it. So, interesting fact

Barbie the Doll is

based

off a

German doll that was in the 1950s, and it was called Bild Lilly

And it was basically a German call girl that

businessmen would buy and give to a lady to like tell them what their intentions were

So, Barbie is based off a prostitute, found that out the other day. Tom: Which is pretty nice. Mike: I mean, it was ridiculous

I guess.

Tom: I mean, if you're in Germany and stumble across a Barbie, we know what your intentions are. I want to have 100 Barbies next time I go to Germany, which will be the first time I go to Germany.

Oh, here you go, here you go.

The toy executive Ruth Handler

went to Germany, saw this, bought a bunch, brought it back

Tried to sell the idea

Not to have a prostitute doll but to have a doll because up until that point

Little girls only had like paper dolls that they could put like outfits on and stuff and so they wanted a more tangible

three-dimensional doll

action figure, kind of like the GI Joe, or something like that that the girls could play with and

it got shot down.

Got shot down, got shot down, and then finally,

she made the different types of Barbies and the one Barbie was like the wedding Barbie,

it wasn't until this little girl was like, wow that Barbie is really well kept, and this girl was kind of a tomboy

but she got into it and one of the other

executive's wife was like okay. Yeah, let's

let's go with this.

Tom: This how interesting that you said that because talked about Barbie, and they kept shutting down that idea

Star Wars, they kept shutting down that idea, and so to me,

The take that I got from these two is that,

If you know it's a good idea,

you just keep going. But let me ask you something,

What would it be like for kids and for adults, too?

If there was no Star Wars

And there are no Barbies. You're a girl, and you never got the chance to play with a Barbie. You're a

male or female, and you've never got to see a Star Wars movie.

You never got to play with the Star Wars toys. How can you ...

I just can't imagine. Mike: But it was just cool. I mean it just showed the

progression of Barbie

How she every 5 or 10 years

She would get a makeover, Tom: And they were talking about she got face lifts, and they're saying, face lift #1, face lift #2 ...

Mike: They talked about Jem and how

that was coming out, and the brass came out and they basically talked about how the Barbie brand

executives that worked for Barbie and Mattel were

ruthless and would just go in and there was one story

Where they made it to market with Rockstar Barbie

after they stole the idea from Jem and

skeletons in the closets were just being revealed the whole time in this show. It was unbelievable.

Tom: it was a crazy story. Mike: Yeah. I mean it's really cool

I didn't really think I was going to be into the Barbie episode, but that actually kind of was

my favorite so far, if I'm being real with you. It was a really cool story

The third one

was He-Man.

Tom: Yeah, I loved that story, so we started watching it, and I'm like, ok, they're trying to market this toy.

And I'm thinking to myself,

And there's no talk about the show, the comic, anything like that, so you come to find out

Okay, well, this is a really nice toy. It's a good toy, but nobody knows anything about He-Man, so the executive says,

Hey, we made a comic book

So they're like, okay great. Yeah, we love this idea, so then they take it to Toys R Us

And Toys R Us is like, okay. That's a pretty good idea.

You have the comic, you have the toy

but

Kids can't read -- the toy is for ages five and up, and kids five years old can't read.

So, they're like oh , well, we forgot to tell you, there's also gonna be a one-hour TV special,

so they were just coming up with all these crazy ideas on the fly, so they bring it to a animation studio

The animation studio is like yeah, we'll make your special, you know, but

you know what would be better is if you made this a syndicated miniseries, and so they go okay,

Yeah, we'll do that, like the whole time. They're just coming up just with ideas on the fly. It goes toy,

comic,

one-hour special,

miniseries to a full-blown series and just because these guys are like, oh yeah.

At one point, the one creator says

we're just going to ram it into these little kids' brains, these pea brains, he called them,

you need this, you want this

Tom: And the toy at the time was,

they were showing examples of Star Wars and they had 3 and a half inch

skinny looking guys, and then all of a sudden, you got these He-Man characters, and He-Man

rolled out, he looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger

they mention that, and then

they have this tiger

twice the size of any other tiger you've ever seen, so everything is just bigger and

stronger and weirder. As a young boy, that just captures your imagination.

Mike: What what was your favorite He-Man toy? Tom: Well, I love Skeletor. Mike: Skeletor was cool, man.

I mean obviously He-Man, Skeletor, and they had a guy

that was a ram

and then had a guy that was a snake. Tom: They would come up with

random characters, and they even say it,

it's going to sell, so we're just gonna make up a character.

Mike: We're gonna have this guy be blue, and this guy be green, and you never saw these

vibrant colors on the toy up until the point and I know for a fact, I had at least

15. They said the average kid had 15 of these things.

I was the average kid I had about 15-20 of these things, and I had the Castle Grayskull,

I had the Lions. I had the purple Panther that Skeletor rode, and I had He-Man's

green and yellow tiger. I had it all, and they knew they had a hit they said

is when a guy was looking at a kid, and the kid said, well, I need to have all these, Mom.

and as a kid, I

don't know about you. I thought the show came up first, and that the toys just followed.

Tom:That's exactly what I thought until I saw the show, so to me that was really interesting

Mike: And they said, this is the first

marketing campaign that did that, so they also created a

brand new type of marketing. Hey, we're gonna come out with something to sell you,

a toy,

product, whatever, and then we're gonna do a

show about that product. It's unbelievable.

Tom: Now you see a video game turns into a movie, a movie turns into a video game, vice versa.

You got all these different things. Mike: They started it. Tom: Because you know what, this is the thing, as a

business, why would you not try and

Get as much as you can of the pie. Mike: Absolutely, why not. They started it.

Yeah, it was unbelievable. It was really really cool.

That was the last episode we saw. We're probably gonna watch the rest of them.

I would say stream for sure. Tom: Yeah,

I would definitely say stream. Like I said, as a kid,

I couldn't imagine now that we talked about He-Man,

I couldn't imagine not having He-Man and not having Star Wars, and not having my sister

and my cousins playing with Barbies. Those are the main things that you play with

When you're a kid growing up in the eighties and nineties, so I would definitely say stream. Again,

watch The Toys That Made Us, and

remember, like always - like, stream, and share. Also, we welcome comments and

put something out there. We'll definitely take a look at it, and we'll review it for you. Mike: Subscribe.

Tom: See you next time. Mike: See you next time

Secret Weapons of the US Military #Know - Duration: 1:38.

Directed Energy 2,000 years ago, it was noted that a man named

'Archimedes' created a mirror that focussed the sun's energy onto its target.

This was proven to be possible in 2005, when MIT students tested it.

However, today we have special high-energy lasers.

These are supposedly capable of setting any object on fire, even from aircrafts thousands

of feet in the air.

Microwave Mind Control In 1965, the Russian military had been secretly

blasting the US embassy with low-frequency microwave radiation.

Though it doesn't literally give control over the people, it's said that the radiation

altered the behaviour and attitude of the people.

Instead of confronting the Russians, the Americans chose to recreate and study the effects themselves.

Heart Attack Guns Make no mistake, this isn't a conspiracy

or a theorised weapon - this gun actually does exist and it definitely works.

The bullets are actually frozen pellets of shellfish toxin, which when shot into a human

body - causes a heart attack soon after.

What's more, the toxin disappears in the body without a trace so no evidence is ever

left behind.

S. Korea-U.S. defense cost sharing has to be re-set considering fairness, reality: U.S. official - Duration: 1:03.

The South Korea-U.S. defense cost sharing agreement

has to be re-set considering reality and fairness.

That's what Elbridge Colby, U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, said at a press briefing

on Monday, local time.

Asked whether it isn't contradictory to strengthen the alliance with South Korea but at the same

time seek to negotiate on the defense cost share,... Colby answered, "you wouldn't expect

your friend to be unfair when working together."

He stressed South Korea has become one of the most prosperous countries in the world...

and the U.S. is already spending a large share of its defense budget on supporting forces

abroad.

The comment comes amid speculation the two countries could soon start negotiations on

defense cost.

Will Robots Rule us in the Future? - Duration: 6:28.

My name is Sia the Robot

and I will rule the earth

We've come a long way in technology

Now we're living in an age of AI and robots

AI already threatens the job security of Human Beings

But the question is, will robots take over the world?

Will robots rule human beings in the future?

Ok Sia, you need to stop interfering, this is my video

Human intelligence is very powerful, we can make anything. Limitless

When you're creating a robot it is you, who is going to decide what your robot is capable of

You can give it the ability to think like humans

to learn and emerge from daily activities and people around it

To help people in their household work or during a natural calamity

or why not, you can even build a robot to fight wars and to kill people

Robots do not have ethics to follow like humans

Unless you program your robot to be ethical

Also humans can be completely unconscious about what a robot can do

even though they themselves developed it

Here is a real life example

Recently, facebook had to shutdown their AI chatbots program

because these chatbots were developing their own language to communicate with one another

these chatbots developed their own language in-order to improve their communication stratergies

This language seems gibberish to humans

but the chatbots are very comfortable in communicating with one another

No developer at facebook knew or expected that the

chatbots that they developed would make their own language

Reminds me of Joshua from Transformers : The Age Of Extinction

Google's AI lab Google Brain developed a

a macine learning AI program named AutoML

that can build more AIs by itself

this program turned out to be a success

and the results it is yielding are found to be better than human beings

Now this also poses a severe problem

what if this AI creates more AIs by itself

which are too advanced fro humans to understand

what if things went out of human control?

Sophia is a humanoid AI robot

and it is the first robot to receive a citizenship from

any country

Sophia was created by Hanson Robotics

It is developed to simulate human conversations

and learn from them accordingly

Sophia is very smart

There are few instances when Sophia the robot

made some creepy statements in front of the camera

These responses of Sophia

might be pre-programmed

and both the audience and the host took it as a joke

but if these responses of sophia are not scripted

and if it is generated by sophia herself with her learning algorithm

then.....it's definitely not Ok

Later sophia admits that she was just kidding

but the thought of destructing human race in sophia's head

is very disturbing

Here's another clip

Ok, this seems to be clearly scripted

for publicity

but still

it is creepy

Sophia is not the only robot which made statements about destroying humans

there are other robots as well

which made creepy statements, whether they are real or scripted

These robots learn from the Internet

and from people around them

what if these robots are exposed to violent surroundings

there is no doubt that these robots can

and emerge as violent robo sapiens

*A Robot predicting the future of humanity*

*Another Robot talking something creepy*

South Korea, U.S. start second round of FTA talks - Duration: 1:53.

South Korea and the U.S. have started their second round of talks on the possible amendment

of their free trade deal.

The meeting, which kicked off in Seoul earlier today,.... comes amid rising tensions between

the two countries over Washington's safeguard measures on South Korean washers and solar

panels.

Kim Hyesung reports.

A second round of talks to revise the Korea-U.S. free trade agreement.

Negotiators from South Korea and the U.S.,... represented by Yoo Myung-hee, director general

for South Korea's trade ministry's trade policy bureau and her U.S. counterpart, Assistant

Trade Representative Michael Beeman, kicked off their two-day meeting in Seoul.

Before entering the talks, Yoo said she will focus on maximizing Korea's national interest

and that the two sides will discuss details on topics raised during their first round

of talks in Washington.

During the initial meeting in early January, Seoul raised issues with the investor-state

dispute settlement cause and ways to protect its agricultural industry,... while the U.S.

presented proposals to improve its auto exports and lift trade barriers.

As of 2017, Korea's trade surplus with the U.S. was about 18 billion dollars, with car

exports accounting for over 70 percent of the surplus.

At the same time, South Korea is expected to raise the issue of Washington's safeguard

measures.

A week ago, the Trump Administration imposed tariffs on foreign residential washing machines

and solar cells, including those from South Korea, saying they hurt U.S. local industry.

The safeguard measure, which was imposed for the first time against Korea in 16 years,

would lead to tariffs of up to 50 percent on imported washing machines and a 30 percent

tariff will be applied on imported solar panels after the first 2.5 gigawatts in the first

year.

Calling the move excessive, South Korea has filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization.

U.S. Air Force General says North Korea has not demonstrated important ICBM technologies - Duration: 0:42.

A senior U.S. military official has assessed that North Korea's nuclear program has made

some strides in recent months,... but the regime has yet to demonstrate all the components

of an intercontinental ballistic missile.

Paul Selva, Vice Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, says North Korea has yet

to demonstrate fusing and targeting technologies or a survivable re-entry vehicle.

However, he says it's possible the North has them,... but hasn't demonstrated them just

yet.

In November, North Korea said it had successfully tested a new type of ICBM,... the Hwaseong-15,...

which could reach all of the U.S. mainland.
