2026 Preview: That was on my list | Chapter 257 | We’re talking ANYTHING pop-culture, movies, music, food, wrestling… WHATEVER you’re NERDing out on, we want to talk about it!

Episode Summary

The Nerds are back and ringing in 2026 the only way they know how: loud, opinionated, slightly caffeinated, and deeply nerdy. In Chapter 257, the crew dives headfirst into Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday trailers, gets dangerously excited about comic-accurate X-Men, debates Netflix potentially speedrunning theatrical releases, and speculates wildly about The Batman Part II casting chaos.

Along the way, we invent cocktail lore (Talk Nerdy To Me 🍸), mourn Susie Poo, mock conspiracy theories harder than Mephisto fans in 2021, and officially plant our hype flags for everything coming in 2026. This episode has rumors, laughs, and at least one comparison to Barbenheimer that absolutely got out of hand.

Oh, that's right, Sandra's in the chat saying like that's

00:05:34
right, if you don't add alcohol, it is a good mocktail for kids.

00:05:39
I did make Bruce the mocktail version of it and he loved it.

00:05:42
So it's pretty cool because it's like a good mocktail and then

00:05:46
you can add whatever kind of alcohol you want to it and it's

00:05:48
good no matter what. So it's, yeah, it is.

secret on the Internet. You have now stumbled onto the

Ladies and gentlemen, you are now watching and listening to

00:06:15

00:06:34
Well, we are here and ready to go.

00:06:36
So ladies and gentlemen, let's let's jump into this first

00:06:39
segment. It's time for straight from J

00:06:43
Jonah. Oh yeah, I like it.

00:06:46
I like it. This is this.

00:06:48
It's exciting because we're going to talk about these

00:06:49
things. So I'm going to go kind of

00:06:50
quickly through all this stuff guys.

00:06:53
Marvel is making it official for those sick of buying Avatar

00:06:56
movie tickets because I know there's a lot of you that are

00:06:58
tired of buying those tickets to see every trailer.

00:07:01
Disney and Marvel have released three of the four Doomsday

00:07:04
trailers online. These feature Steve Rogers,

00:07:07
Thor, and now the X-Men. So guys, there are leaks and

00:07:12
rumors that the 4th trailer is coming on January 8th, which

00:07:16
what's today today is the 7th. So that will.

00:07:18
Be tomorrow, right? Now we're not like we're not

00:07:22
going to try and spoil but like Wakanda may not be forever and

00:07:26
the first family may be on a family road trip.

00:07:30
So with that being said, what are your guys thoughts on this?

00:07:35
Well, let me let me just chime in on the 1st 3 because I

00:07:38
watched all three online because Disney and Marvel released it

00:07:43
really good trailers. You know, I was the 1st 2:00.

00:07:50
I was like, OK, they're OK. They're not bad.

00:07:53
Very focused on kids. Yeah.

00:07:55
Right. So I'm like, OK, is that the is

00:07:57
that the theme is Doom going after the kids of, you know, the

00:08:01
Marvel multiverse? Is that what's happening?

00:08:03
But this third trailer with the X-Men, you know, seeing Patrick

00:08:09
Stewart back, seeing what's the name?

00:08:11
Ian McKellen. Yeah.

00:08:12
Oh my gosh. They had me.

00:08:15
So I and in the X mansion. Did you watch it, Shudu?

00:08:19
Not yet. I I have not actually seen any

00:08:21
of them. They've heard them described

00:08:23
before they were online. It'll take you 30 seconds, just

00:08:25
throw it up in another screen. But.

00:08:27
I I, I didn't know they'd been released online.

00:08:30
So you get to see the X mansion and it's like in shambles.

00:08:34
It's been destroyed again. Again, as usual, yeah.

00:08:40
Oh, I love it. I love it.

00:08:42
It's like, you know, the X mansion is like the USS

00:08:46
Enterprise in Star Trek. Like every movie, they got to

00:08:49
blow it up. Yeah.

00:08:53
But I'm I'm super excited about it.

00:08:55
Yeah, that one got me. The 1st 2 didn't.

00:08:57
Third one got me. So I, I, I kind of had ideas on

00:09:00
like how I was going to expect everything to go with that.

00:09:04
I, I love the idea of, you know, this, we, we've been kind of

00:09:09
speculating for a while that these, that this movie is going

00:09:11
to be about family, right? It's going to be, you know,

00:09:15
Fantastic Four as a family, that they, they, you know, that

00:09:17
you're going to be worried about breaking up.

00:09:20
You know, we were talking about the X-Men transitioning and

00:09:22
everything like that, but then seeing Steve Rogers with his

00:09:26
child and that being a plot point, seeing Thor with his

00:09:30
child and that being a plot point, it it kind of makes me

00:09:33
feel like this really is going to be a family centric film and

00:09:37
every that's what they're doing. And then this X-Men trailer.

00:09:40
Oh my God, this thing was it. This is the X-Men we've been

00:09:44
waiting for. Like I was so excited for the

00:09:47
Deadpool version that we got when when the Deadpool trailer

00:09:52
came on and we're not Deadpool trailer when when X-Men showed

00:09:56
up in in the Deadpool movies and and we got like very accurate

00:10:01
versions of the X-Men. This is taking it a step

00:10:04
further. We are getting comic book

00:10:05
accurate costumes. We, we got Cyclops is I void

00:10:11
laser. I void lasers and you know,

00:10:13
'cause they, they, they're taking it seriously.

00:10:16
It's the he's tapping into the void and it's like, Oh my God,

00:10:19
this is everything that as an X-Men fan, I've been excited

00:10:22
for. So I'm I'm excited for all of

00:10:25
this. And then again, the rumors on

00:10:27
what the next trailer is going to be gets me even more excited.

00:10:30
So should do. What are your thoughts?

00:10:33
I haven't, I haven't seen any of these, but from what I've heard

00:10:36
described before, they were online because again, I did not

00:10:38
know they really was online. They I mean, I again with the

00:10:43
the Steve Arthur's one, I was like, OK, yeah, I I see what

00:10:46
they're doing. This is a very like, hey, look,

00:10:48
here's this cool tiny thing Thor when I'm like, Oh yeah, yeah,

00:10:51
yeah. Thor would be in the the X-Men

00:10:53
one. I was not expecting.

00:10:55
And from what I've heard, it sounds amazing.

00:11:00
I'm very excited about it again when yeah, it was beast when

00:11:06
Beast was in the the end credit scene in the Marvels.

00:11:08
I may have very tightly grabbed phrase arm.

00:11:13
So I didn't realize that I was that excited about it.

00:11:16
But, but I am so yeah, I need to, I need to watch these.

00:11:19
But I'm, I'm in, I think it's a really interesting strategy

00:11:23
they're trying to to do here, trying releasing different

00:11:28
trailers and in sequence or whatever.

00:11:31
It's, it's it's it's interesting.

00:11:33
I kind of wish we didn't have to, you know, I obviously now

00:11:36
that it's been fixed online, but I kind of wish that that had

00:11:39
been the way the whole time. But I, I I don't know.

00:11:43
I I will say this. I think it's interesting.

00:11:45
Yeah, I, I will say this, that the leaks, because you know,

00:11:48
they, they, they leaked it and everybody was talking about it.

00:11:51
The leaks still didn't do it justice because it was, it was

00:11:54
so different from actually seeing it, from hearing the

00:11:57
leaks and seeing like the AI, there's a couple of different AI

00:12:01
videos that that went up that were like, here's what you think

00:12:04
that it's going to be. It like all of that, like it, it

00:12:06
blew all that away. It, it was although those, those

00:12:10
trailers again, the 3rd trailer is really good.

00:12:13
The 4th trailer. I'm I'm excited to see what

00:12:15
they're going to do with that. And the 5th trailer supposedly

00:12:18
is supposed to be like the full breakdown trailer.

00:12:21
We're supposed to be getting it during the Super Bowl.

00:12:24
I didn't even know you were. Talking about the 5th.

00:12:26
Trailer. Yeah, so the 5th trailer is

00:12:28
supposed to. Supposedly, it opens with

00:12:31
Downey's Doctor Doom walking through a field of dead kings.

00:12:37
That'll. Be interesting that it opens

00:12:39
with that. It opens with him walking

00:12:41
through a field of dead kings. And it's like now.

00:12:44
Who's going to play King? Though, no, they, they, there

00:12:47
was, there was a rumor a while back or I think it might have

00:12:49
been confirmed. We talked about it on the show

00:12:51
about they did have Jonathan Majors come back to reprise the

00:12:55
role. OK, well so they can kill them

00:12:58
off a bunch of. Times.

00:12:59
Yeah, yeah. I mean, OK, you know what?

00:13:01
Fair enough. I think that's yeah.

00:13:04
I think that's called justice. I don't.

00:13:06
Know, yeah. Real quick, we talked about

00:13:11
Professor X Magneto being in the trailer.

00:13:14
We won't spoil the 4th the 4th trailer, but the X-Men trailer.

00:13:17
We mentioned Cyclops, but he's in the comic accurate Gimli, you

00:13:24
know, uniform, the blue and the and the yellow kind of bands and

00:13:29
whatnot. So exciting.

00:13:32
The only thing that people are complaining about online, which

00:13:35
is honestly a very, very trivial thing, is that he's not wearing

00:13:40
the trunks. And it's like, that's fine.

00:13:42
I mean, he's still wearing a very comic book accurate Jim Lee

00:13:45
costume. He just doesn't have the yellow

00:13:47
trunks, and that's fine. I mean, yeah, he honestly looks

00:13:50
better without the yellow trunks.

00:13:51
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly.

00:13:54
Like again, honestly most like nerdy things people are mad

00:13:58
about are fairly trivial so. Yeah, yeah.

00:14:01
So let's let's continue on just because we do want to spend as

00:14:04
much time in on the last segment here as as we can.

00:14:07
So moving into the next kind of big thing here, some MCU rumor

00:14:14
roundup, because why the hell not?

00:14:17
So there's a couple of rumors that are floating around for and

00:14:19
for Marvel right now. Now, one of the big rumors right

00:14:21
now is that Owen Wilson. Wow.

00:14:25
He's getting a big screen bump. Owen Wilson's going to be

00:14:28
returning as Mobius and Mobius in Doomsday, so that's kind of a

00:14:31
big deal. I know that they've been

00:14:33
transitioning a lot with different characters within Loki

00:14:36
and kind of all that through the entire MCU right now.

00:14:40
So I think they're probably going to involve the time

00:14:43
variance authority with this and and having Mobius and it makes

00:14:46
sense, although she probably doesn't know this.

00:14:49
Wait, hold on, hold on, hold on. Real quick about Owen Wilson,

00:14:52
about Mobius going into the MCU or into the movies?

00:14:56
Is that the first time we've seen like ATV character go into?

00:15:01
No, because what's her name, Hunter B-15 was in Deadpool was.

00:15:06
In Deadpool Wolverine. Oh, that's true.

00:15:08
That's true. Right.

00:15:09
OK. So she got it before he did.

00:15:10
But yeah, yeah. But yeah, I mean, there's

00:15:13
there's a couple of those different kind of characters and

00:15:16
things like that. So.

00:15:18
Oh, no. And then again, Monica Rambo.

00:15:24
Yes, yes. Right.

00:15:25
She went from the show to she went from Wanda Vision to the

00:15:28
movie to Captain Marvel. So with with with that being on

00:15:33
there. So I and we know that she

00:15:35
probably doesn't know that she's in this.

00:15:37
But according to a new report, Gwyneth Paltrow is expected to

00:15:40
return in some capacity for Avengers Doomsday and Avengers

00:15:43
Secret wars. So if somebody could let her

00:15:46
know that she's in these movies, no, it might be might might be

00:15:49
great. What do you guys think about

00:15:50
when Paltrow showing up in all these about getting some it?

00:15:54
Makes sense? Yeah, getting a level of Pepper

00:15:56
Potts on this. She.

00:15:57
I mean she never knows. There could be some good drama

00:16:00
with if they do play into which I assume they will doom being

00:16:04
played by RDJ that there could be some good wrong with like

00:16:08
you're not, you know, whatever like her thinking that it is.

00:16:11
Right, yeah. You're not my Tony.

00:16:13
And he's like, I'm not Tony, I just read a line that's good.

00:16:17
Right. I am dude.

00:16:19
I am your dude. I am your dude.

00:16:20
Yeah. Yeah.

00:16:22
So not to be outdone, Star Lord is going to appear in Vision

00:16:25
Quest before reuniting with the rest of Earth's Mightiest Heroes

00:16:28
in Avengers Doomsday. What do you guys think about the

00:16:30
potential for Star Lord showing up in Vision Quest?

00:16:34
Like seems like an odd place to show up, but I guess he's there

00:16:37
so OK, sure I. Totally agree, When I first

00:16:40
heard like he was going to show up in vision quest I'm like why?

00:16:44
Like why him? I mean he is on earth I get that

00:16:47
but like why him? Did he ever interact with

00:16:52
vision? I don't think so.

00:16:53
So like. Why is he ever even interacted

00:16:56
with a robot? I'm sure he's interacting with

00:16:59
robots. I'm sure he's interacting.

00:17:01
With robots. Considering what he's been

00:17:03
through in general, Peter Quill has Peter, Peter Quill has has

00:17:08
experienced a lot of weirdness. It it it does somewhat make

00:17:13
sense because he has had like small little interactions with

00:17:15
Vision and in The Avengers and everything like that.

00:17:18
So I mean, like I, I, I don't see it.

00:17:21
I, I like the, the, what I see the interaction being is him

00:17:24
making some joke about like, are aren't you that robot that used

00:17:28
to be with the like the, the red chick, you know, all that kind

00:17:30
of stuff, like it being like some kind of joke where they see

00:17:33
him in Missouri, you know, something like that.

00:17:36
Yeah. Right.

00:17:38
So with. I was just trying to think about

00:17:40
it, but no, he was on Titan, the moon of Titan when they were

00:17:46
fighting in Wakanda. Right, right.

00:17:48
Right. So I don't think he's ever met

00:17:50
the vision. He may not have met the You're

00:17:53
right, he may not have met the vision yet.

00:17:56
I mean, it could be fun. I I could see it happening.

00:17:58
It's just. This is that.

00:17:59
I mean, the other thing with it too is it's probably their way

00:18:02
of saying like, OK, we said that Star Lord is going to be

00:18:04
returning and he hasn't shown up in any of the late phases, so.

00:18:09
Hey, we're the storm in here. There's like we need to kind of

00:18:11
like find a way to transition him and like, you know, hey,

00:18:13
what has he been up to, you know, and things like that and

00:18:15
bring him in. I mean, it's the same thing with

00:18:17
like they put the Red Hulk in the Captain America movie,

00:18:19
right? So I mean like.

00:18:21
Right, exactly. It's just, yeah, it is kind of

00:18:24
kind of like sure, you know, Yeah.

00:18:27
So they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll find a reason to, to

00:18:28
bring him in. Hopefully it's like a decent

00:18:30
enough reason. So, so that is essentially it.

00:18:34
Avengers Doomsday is set to be released on December 18th, 2026,

00:18:38
so long as Disney doesn't change that date.

00:18:42
Right. Again.

00:18:42
We'll, we'll see. This year, this year this.

00:18:47
Sometime this year. Hopefully the the only thing

00:18:51
that I was listening to Geek Freaks this morning about this.

00:18:53
The only thing I worry about with this is that they are also

00:18:56
releasing Doom 3 on the same day, right?

00:19:00
So it's right now everybody's calling it Avengers Doomsday.

00:19:04
That's good. Right.

00:19:06
And, you know, like a lot of people are planning to watch

00:19:07
both movies on the same day. But what they were saying is HBO

00:19:13
or not HBO, not HBO, Warner Brothers and Disney are probably

00:19:17
neither of them are probably going to back off because

00:19:19
whoever gets the second date is going to be the one that's most

00:19:22
relevant. Right.

00:19:24
Right. So if, if, if like Dune pulls up

00:19:27
a week so that they can try and get a, a bigger audience draw

00:19:30
and not pull it from Avengers. What ends up happening is when

00:19:33
The Avengers drops the next week, they get the big, the,

00:19:37
the, the big part of the market share for the rest of the year,

00:19:40
right? So.

00:19:41
Well, here's a proposal for for people.

00:19:45
Just just, you don't have to watch it on the premiere, but

00:19:50
you don't have to. You don't have to watch it on

00:19:53
opening day. You can just be like, oh, we're

00:19:54
going to go to Avengers and go see, you know, it's like just

00:19:57
you don't have to anyway. And that, and that's what they

00:20:01
were also saying too, is more than likely they're probably

00:20:04
going to go see one of the opening weekend and then see the

00:20:06
next one the next weekend. And I mean, you know, there's

00:20:09
some people who might Barbenheimerate and go watch

00:20:11
both movies on the same. Exactly, thank you.

00:20:13
I was I was waiting to get that in there.

00:20:15
But the it's been proven that you can have two big releases on

00:20:19
the same weekend and they'll both do well, even if they're

00:20:23
you know, they're they're for different audiences, but they

00:20:25
overlap a little bit. Totally.

00:20:27
OK Mission Impossible and Lilo and Stitch, you know, they came

00:20:32
out the same weekend and they both did really, really well.

00:20:36
Stitch actually did better than Mission Impossible.

00:20:38
So it's been proven it could work.

00:20:41
And so and what is, are the movie theaters going to say no

00:20:44
to the money that is flowing in? They're going to be like.

00:20:46
Yes, doing it all. Right.

00:20:48
I'm planning on, I'm planning on seeing both.

00:20:50
I mean, my, my, my plan is to see both in that weekend, so.

00:20:53
Yeah, cool. All right, so that is it for

00:20:57
Marvel. So before we sorry, I just

00:21:00
realized something right now. Let me pull this off the screen.

00:21:04
I'm going to move something real quick before we go into the next

00:21:07
segment. So take me to a sentence.

00:21:09
Little pad for time. No, it's OK.

00:21:11
I fix that. That was an accident.

00:21:20
Didn't didn't mean to do that. Did you guys hear that?

00:21:22
No. OK, good.

00:21:24
No, no, no. It's good that you guys didn't

00:21:26
hear it because I that just means it's not going to be

00:21:29
really loud for everyone else. I will, I will say this though,

00:21:33
if they get released, so if Dune and Doomsday get released on the

00:21:38
same day, I, I don't think this is it'll, it'll be good for Dune

00:21:44
just because they're they're not going to hit that number one

00:21:48
spot. Sorry.

00:21:49
You know, it's Christmas time. It's you know, Doomsday is

00:21:53
considered a family ish movie. So you're going to get everybody

00:21:59
like not just one or two guys that are going to go see this

00:22:03
comic book movie. You're going to get like

00:22:04
families of four and five and six going to see Doomsday

00:22:08
because this is like the big thing versus, you know, it's

00:22:12
mainly 20 plus year olds that went and saw a doom.

00:22:16
I mean, I mean, dude, it's a family movie.

00:22:18
It's it's a real fucked up family, but it's a family movie.

00:22:21
Again, I'm, I'm, I'm just waiting on Doom today.

00:22:23
So with that being said. It's like Game of Thrones is a

00:22:27
family show. Yeah, very much.

00:22:29
It's, yeah. It's, it's a family.

00:22:30
It has families in it, Yeah. All about family love.

00:22:33
Game of Thrones is family. Families that love families.

00:22:37
There you go. Families that love themselves.

00:22:39
And also hate them. Keep it in the family, All

00:22:41
right, ladies and gentlemen, we're jumping into the segment

00:22:45
here. It is time for watching the

00:22:46
Watchtower. Take it watching.

00:22:49
You love that, Love that graphic.

00:22:51
All right, so we have our DC rumor.

00:22:56
Matt Reeves is continuing to quietly assemble an impressive

00:22:59
cast for The Batman Part 2, and the latest name in the mix is a

00:23:03
big one. After recently bringing Scarlett

00:23:05
Johansson into the fold, the director has now set his sights

00:23:08
on one of her long time Marvel costars.

00:23:11
According to Deadline, Sebastian Stan is currently in talks to

00:23:14
join the upcoming DC Studios sequel as a in a yet unrevealed

00:23:20
role. So, yeah, so DC has declined to

00:23:25
comment on the report. Which, I mean, OK, yeah, sure.

00:23:28
We really haven't really heard much about this movie anyway, So

00:23:32
who do we think Sebastian Stan could be playing?

00:23:36
I don't I don't know who he who he'll be playing, but I think

00:23:40
it's a good get for DC. Yeah, because people love

00:23:46
Sebastian Stan, people love The Winter Soldier and and putting

00:23:49
him in another superhero ish type movie.

00:23:53
I think I think he's going to be great and I think he's going to

00:23:57
shine because, you know, in Captain America, in Marvel, he's

00:24:01
been kind of kind of a secondary character for the most part.

00:24:05
But I think you put him in a big role in DT.

00:24:09
He could be like a major character in DC.

00:24:12
So. I already know who I want him to

00:24:14
be. Who?

00:24:15
Thomas Elliott 100%. Yeah, explain.

00:24:19
Explain. And I knew James would be like,

00:24:21
I don't know who that is. And she.

00:24:23
Yeah. What's a good idea saying names?

00:24:26
It's it's hush. So yeah, yeah, Thomas Elliott is

00:24:32
basically him and Bruce were best friends growing up, right?

00:24:35
Like they they as children were best friends, grew their Yeah.

00:24:40
There he goes, Matt in the chat saying Hush, baby.

00:24:44
They, they kind of grew their separate ways.

00:24:46
And then later on in life they, they meet up again.

00:24:49
They're both like basically, you know, billionaires and

00:24:51
everything like that, both Playboys and whatnot.

00:24:54
And Hush, essentially as a character, what he does is he

00:25:01
gives himself plastic surgery 'cause he's like a brilliant

00:25:05
plastic surgeon, gives himself plastic surgery to look like

00:25:08
Bruce Wayne and he impersonates Bruce Wayne.

00:25:11
And basically he is the evil Bruce Wayne.

00:25:13
Like what he does is he, he, he essentially just like sabotages

00:25:19
Wayne Industries and everything like that because he feels that

00:25:23
the Wayne family slighted the Elliott family.

00:25:27
So it's like almost like a rich, so it's almost like a rich boy

00:25:32
revenge story, but like, it really is.

00:25:36
But like, the whole thing is Sebastian Stan has the chops to

00:25:40
play that character. And I think that he would be

00:25:43
really good as Hush. Like 'cause that's the reason

00:25:47
whenever you see pictures of Hush, he his face is wrapped in

00:25:50
bandages because the reveal is when they RIP the bandages off

00:25:53
his face. He's he's, he's basically Bruce

00:25:56
Wayne. It's Bruce Wayne fighting Bruce

00:25:57
Wayne. That's cool.

00:25:59
I mean, yeah, wait. We just got, we just got

00:26:02
Superman fighting Superman in Bruce Wayne.

00:26:07
That would be for yeah, but I am not really convinced that Hush

00:26:11
is going to be in this movie. Again, the way that I think it's

00:26:14
going to be is I, I think they're going to introduce him

00:26:18
as, as Thomas Elliot and, and you're going to get like the

00:26:23
return of Thomas Elliot as an adult.

00:26:25
And that's just the introduction of Thomas Elliot before he gives

00:26:27
himself the plastic surgery. If not, it would be interesting

00:26:31
because we're we're getting when we find that found out that

00:26:36
she's playing she she is playing Harvey Dant's wife right it.

00:26:41
Would be scarlet. You know what, I, I, I could do

00:26:44
that it. Would be interesting if if

00:26:46
Sebastian Stan is Harvey Dent. There you.

00:26:49
I was actually going to suggest that.

00:26:50
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now see, I like that 'cause that

00:26:54
that there's a little bit of a long term storytelling there

00:26:58
that, you know, it could be for this second Batman movie, but it

00:27:03
could be more content down the road, whether it's in the

00:27:07
Penguin series or a a potential Batman part three, that sort of

00:27:11
thing. So I kind of like the Harvey

00:27:13
Dent idea. Yeah, that'd be cool.

00:27:17
All right. Yeah, I mean that was that was

00:27:20
my suggestion. When do we have a date on that?

00:27:23
I don't. Yet, no, no we do not so or kind

00:27:28
of so. Production was aiming to begin

00:27:31
filming this spring. Apparently.

00:27:34
The release date they've said is October 1st of 2027.

00:27:37
Who knows if that's still valid or if that's actually going to

00:27:40
to be the final release date or whatever, right?

00:27:42
But they have said October 1st of 27th so.

00:27:47
All right, I'm in. I'm.

00:27:48
In doing a Halloween or like kind of a spooky season release,

00:27:51
which makes sense for that man. Spooky.

00:27:53
So yeah, spooky. All right, that is.

00:27:57
That's it for watching the monster.

00:28:01
So now we're going to get into our next segment, which is again

00:28:06
mostly Netflix. Not yet though.

00:28:49

00:28:54

00:29:51
That's amazing. I'm so excited.

00:30:05

00:30:26
I mean, hey Bridgeton bad but like.

00:30:29
I've heard, I mean, I've heard of Emily in Paris.

00:30:31
I see, I see a lot of people who post about Emily in Paris.

00:30:34
I've never watched it. It's not, no, it's not something

00:30:36
that's ever been on my radar. It's probably.

00:30:38
Not for us, honestly. It's, it's not.

00:30:41
I asked my wife. I'm like, is this another period

00:30:43

Thank you. OK, that sounds OK.

00:31:09
So interesting. Apologies, I'll go do some

00:31:28
let's let's go ahead and continue.

00:31:30
All right. So I mean, today is supposed to

00:31:33
be Conformity Day. We have no idea what that means.

00:31:36
Tomorrow is. Probably not.

00:31:37
Tomorrow is supposed to be Conformity Day.

00:31:40
I thought it was yesterday. That's today.

00:31:41
It's supposed to be tomorrow. It's supposed to be 6-7.

00:31:44
No, it's the 8th. Nobody knows.

00:31:45
Yeah, it's supposed to be the 8th.

00:31:46
Anyway, no, I talked to Alby, he said it was the 9th so.

00:31:50
Oh, so Friday then? Yeah, Friday.

00:31:54
major unanswered question, and that is what happened to Susie

00:32:00
Susie. Pooh at Yes.

00:32:02
So 1 character played an important role in season 3 and

00:32:04
4, notably missing during the final season.

00:32:07
In season 3, Dustin returned from camp with a summer romance

00:32:11
with Susie. When Dustin's friends doubted

00:32:14
her existence, she came through and helped them save the day.

00:32:18
Returning again in season 4 was an MVP, proving not only her

00:32:22
impressive intellect but also her love for Dustin, AKA Dusty

00:32:27
Buns. Oh my gosh, so Gayton.

00:32:31
I never pronounced Matarazzo. Matarazzo Gayton Matarazzo, said

00:32:36
Dustin Suzie status. I didn't have a conversation

00:32:39
with the Duffers about it. What can be assumed is that in

00:32:43
Dustin's year long unhealthy grieving process, if he's

00:32:47
cutting out his friends that are day-to-day spending time with

00:32:50
him, you can imagine he probably cut a long distance

00:32:54
relationship. Oh Dustin, what are you doing?

00:32:58
Which honestly, it makes a lot of sense that you know, he's

00:33:00
been, he was grieving the entire season over Eddie.

00:33:04
Yeah. And him cutting ties, he almost

00:33:07
cut ties with his friends. So like he was just like poor

00:33:11
guy. That's, that's everything that I

00:33:13
heard, like every, every theory that I heard was because Dustin

00:33:18
was grieving over, over Eddie and he was distancing from, from

00:33:25
like everybody, like he just kind of pushed everyone away.

00:33:29
You know, they were saying like, of course he, he would push his

00:33:32
girlfriend away. Like, you know, there's the,

00:33:33
the, the first person he's going to push away is Susie.

00:33:36
And I'm sure Susie didn't want to deal with any of that either.

00:33:38
So they probably broke up over his attitude in the way that he

00:33:42
was he was being. Poor Susie Pooh.

00:33:45
RIP Susie Pooh and dusty buns. So sad, so straight.

00:33:51
Stranger Things is streaming on Netflix, but those that are not

00:33:55
ready to leave Hawkins yet, the story's over.

00:33:59
Netflix is inviting viewers into the emotional and creative grind

00:34:04
that shaped Season 5 of Stranger Things.

00:34:07
We got a documentary coming. Yeah, I have enough

00:34:10
documentaries in my Netflix algorithm.

00:34:13
That's all we ever watch. You, you on on your watch.

00:34:16
Let's do you have you have all the dogs.

00:34:17
It's going to be right there. One more.

00:34:19
One last adventure. The making of Stranger Things

00:34:21
Season 5 is coming, and it's reveals details on the final

00:34:25
stretch of the film and the final season.

00:34:28
For fans who aren't quite ready to leave and say goodbye, this

00:34:32
looks like one more meaningful stop in Hawkins before the

00:34:36
lights finally go out. One last adventure, the making

00:34:39
of Stranger Things 5:00 We'll take you back and turn your

00:34:42
emotions upside down. January 12th on Netflix to dumb.

00:34:50
OK, so I thought this whole what is it?

00:34:54
Conformity gate thing. Yeah, yeah.

00:34:57
Was going to lead to this documentary.

00:34:59
I kind of thought that too. But the documentary's on the

00:35:01
12th. Right, right.

00:35:03
So it's a completely different date from what everybody's

00:35:05
talking about for Conformity Gate, so.

00:35:07
Exactly. So real quick, conformity Gate

00:35:09
is this big theory about the show isn't quite over that

00:35:13
there's a secret episode 9 that's waiting to come out and

00:35:17
people said it was going to be on the 7th.

00:35:19
Then they said it was going to be the 8th and then the 9th and

00:35:21
then turns out there's a there's a documentary on the 12th.

00:35:27
So we don't know what Conformity Gate supposed to be, but there's

00:35:29
supposed to be a special secret episode.

00:35:33
Coming yeah, they're they're saying the name of the episode

00:35:35
is conformity Gate. The the The thing is, is where

00:35:38
everybody's speculating on this is because in the past Netflix

00:35:42
has done this. They've dropped like a secret

00:35:43
episode that nobody knew was coming for for different shows.

00:35:47
They specifically did it for for Sandman.

00:35:53
They dropped like a secret episode that came out of

00:35:54
nowhere. No, that's right.

00:35:57
That's right. You know, so they and Netflix

00:35:59
has a tendency to do that with some of their more popular shows

00:36:02
where they'll just drop a hey, you love the season.

00:36:05
Here's an extra episode right now with something like like

00:36:10
like Sandman. The episode had nothing to do

00:36:12
with the entire season. It was just an add on from a

00:36:15
story that was in the comics that they were like, we want to

00:36:18
tell this story, but it has nothing to do with the main

00:36:20
story overall. So we're just going to do this

00:36:22
episode separately and they release it as a bonus episode.

00:36:25
Yeah, that's kind of cool. Yeah.

00:36:27
Like with this, I don't see them doing a secret plot point

00:36:32
episode where it's like, hey, we're going to go and, you know,

00:36:37
in reality, you guys got 8 episodes.

00:36:39
Season finale came out in theaters.

00:36:40
We're going to drop a ninth episode that nobody knew was

00:36:43
coming to wrap things up. And it's really just for the few

00:36:47
fans the like the people who are really loud about this are the

00:36:50
few fans that are pissed off with the way the finale ended

00:36:53
because it didn't end the way they wanted it to.

00:36:57
I see right. This is this is the same people

00:36:59
who probably want to, you know, decanonize the sequel trilogy or

00:37:02
something. These are the people who were

00:37:04
upset because it was like, oh, we wanted it to be like.

00:37:07
The review at the end of the show was that it was all one big

00:37:09
D&D campaign, you know, or people that are like, Oh no, you

00:37:14
know, they didn't like that Vecna and the mind Flayer were

00:37:21
were one and would have preferred that this whole theory

00:37:24
about Vecna being the good guy and he was just forced into it

00:37:27
by the by the mind Flayer. They wanted it to be that right.

00:37:31
Or some people who have, I've heard another rumor about people

00:37:33
saying that Susie shows up in the last season and or the last

00:37:36
episode because she put she plays a big role in, in how

00:37:39
everything happens. And it's like all of these

00:37:41
things cool. These are all theories that

00:37:43
people made because this is what they wanted to happen in the

00:37:46
show. But the Duffers put out what the

00:37:49
show was and, and everything on there.

00:37:51
So it's just kind of like the whole conformity gate thing.

00:37:54
Is it it's really the loudest voices.

00:37:58
It's not the most voices. It's the loudest voices online

00:38:02
voicing what they want to happen and creating theories based on

00:38:06
things they're seeing in the show.

00:38:07
Cause like right now the biggest prevailing theory on conformity

00:38:12
gate is there is a clock that is behind the teacher that is at

00:38:17
the clock stops at one O 9 and they're like, oh, that means

00:38:20
that they're dropping something on January 9th.

00:38:23
Well, hold on, there's more, there's more.

00:38:25
There's more to this conspiracy, Sir.

00:38:27
Like all the So if you look like Henry Creole, he's always like

00:38:33
standing a certain way, right? Like his hands folded or

00:38:36
something like that. And the shot of of all the kids

00:38:40
during the graduation, everybody's like sitting the

00:38:43
same way. It's weird things like that.

00:38:47
I think Holly was watching Night before Nightmare, before Elm

00:38:52
Street, the new Nightmare, right, which is about them

00:38:58
making. The Dream Warriors.

00:39:00
The Dream Warriors and about like pretty much it's a

00:39:03
documentary about the first six, first six films, right?

00:39:09
That's what that's kind of how the new the premise is for A new

00:39:12
Nightmare. It's a documentary.

00:39:15
But on the 12th we're getting a Stranger Things documentary.

00:39:19
Yeah, so they're like, is it all intertwined?

00:39:22
I love this is like my Joe Rogan conspiracy hat is like coming

00:39:27
over. Into Stranger Things.

00:39:28
It's always sunny, yeah. Yeah.

00:39:30
Totally. And like, like I said, like this

00:39:32
whole thing is just people putting conspiracy theories out

00:39:35
there because they want things to happen a certain way.

00:39:37
Sorry to say it, guys, conformity gate's not going to

00:39:40
be a thing. And.

00:39:42
I, I, I think that, I think that Matt here is right, that it's

00:39:45
Mephisto from one division all over again.

00:39:47
Yeah, to. Convince themselves of anything,

00:39:49
yeah. But we got, we got Mephisto

00:39:52
that's. Yeah, not in one division

00:39:54
though. It was like 3 years later.

00:39:55
It was like fucking 10 shows later, man.

00:39:58
Like it was like everybody was sitting there saying he's going

00:40:00
to show up, he's going to show up.

00:40:01
Mephisto showed up in a random show in 2025.

00:40:04
The moon is not a real man, It's hollow.

00:40:08
It's an egg. You've been you've been hanging

00:40:12
out with the Kardashians too much, man.

00:40:13
I've been hanging out with Joe Rogan podcast.

00:40:16
Too long. Yeah, Kim Kardashian has a whole

00:40:18
theory about how. Yeah, the.

00:40:22
Pyramids were were PG&E back in the day.

00:40:25
Kim Kim Kardashian. I've heard that there too, about

00:40:28
about the obelisks and the and the secret wireless power.

00:40:32
Of the secret, like the secret tunnel or whatever, Yeah.

00:40:35
Yeah, yeah, all that. All right, let's.

00:40:37
Annunaki are coming man. James, you got another story.

00:40:41
Sorry, my bad. OK, let's get away from the

00:40:44
conspiracies. Netflix might not give you time

00:40:48
for a popcorn refill. This kind of goes back to the

00:40:53
movies and you know, movies coming out the same day and that

00:40:55
sort of thing. The entertainment industry was

00:40:58
rocked by the news that Netflix was acquiring Warner Brothers

00:41:01
for $82 billion. According to sources, though

00:41:07
Deadline is one of them. Netflix has been advocating for

00:41:11
internally for a 17 day theatrical window for movies

00:41:18
going into theaters. That is crazy.

00:41:21
The report claims that such a move would steamroll the

00:41:24
theatrical business, especially in chains like AMC, to continue

00:41:30
to argue that the line needs to be held closer to the 45 day

00:41:34
window. I don't know what you get.

00:41:37
What do you guys think about that?

00:41:38
Imagine Doom. Doomsday is probably probably

00:41:41
pretty extreme, but imagine a big movie only in theaters for

00:41:47
17 days. Yeah, that's stupid.

00:41:50
Is that that's like doesn't sound like enough to.

00:41:52
Me I I don't feel. Like, no, I, I, I understand

00:41:54
what they're doing and why they're doing it.

00:41:57
I don't agree with why they're doing it, but you know, like I,

00:42:01
I get it. It's just, yeah, it's not enough

00:42:03
time. Yeah, I, I, I, I'm in between

00:42:07
because like the whole thing is for the most part, people would

00:42:11
rather get the movie sooner at home.

00:42:14
But I mean, at the same time, theatrical releases need to need

00:42:19
to have their time to, to Stew, right?

00:42:21
Like they need their time to be in theaters, not just make

00:42:24
money, but like give people a chance to see it on the, the

00:42:26
large of the big screen. What my thing would be is if

00:42:31
Netflix does kind of like my, my whole theme that I've been doing

00:42:35
for like the last like couple of months here now, if Netflix goes

00:42:39
for a 17 day window, but in the sense of they're not taking it

00:42:43
out of theaters when they put it on Netflix.

00:42:47
I was going to say. Yeah.

00:42:48
So like, yeah, if it's like, OK, hey, 17 days in theaters, but

00:42:53
that's like 17 days of exclusivity in theaters.

00:42:56
And then it's on Netflix for all the people who want to watch it.

00:43:00
I feel like if Netflix does that, there's a, there's

00:43:03
actually a chance, I'm not going to say it will, but there's a

00:43:05
chance that that might actually spur people going to the

00:43:10
theaters because you have movies.

00:43:12
Yeah, you'll have movies that come out on Netflix that are

00:43:14
like, oh, OK, here's a movie that's in theaters right now.

00:43:18
I didn't go to go see it 'cause it was like it looked OK.

00:43:21
And then it ends up being a fucking runaway hit and people

00:43:24
were like, Oh my God, this movie is amazing.

00:43:26
Wait, it's still in theaters. I'm going to go watch it in

00:43:27
theaters. I want to go see it on the big

00:43:29
screen. Right.

00:43:30
I think it would be brilliant, yeah.

00:43:31
Yeah, I think that. I think it's at least worth a

00:43:33
shot. Yeah, I I I think that the the

00:43:35
again, I keep going back to this, but K pop Demon Hunters is

00:43:39
the example for this, right? Exactly.

00:43:41
James went to go see that movie 17 times in theaters because of

00:43:45
his kids. Every time it went into the

00:43:46
theater, they went and watched it again.

00:43:49
It was. On 17 every one of those 17 days

00:43:52
that Netflix had in the theaters.

00:43:54
I mean. Exactly right.

00:43:56
Like James went to go see that movie multiple times.

00:43:59
It's only two times, but I mean like he went to go see it in

00:44:01
theaters multiple times because the movie was on Netflix.

00:44:05
It's not like his kids couldn't watch the movie on Netflix, but

00:44:07
they wanted that experience in the theater.

00:44:09
They wanted to go get that theater popcorn and big theater

00:44:12
soda and all that and go see K Pop Demon Hunters on the big

00:44:16
screen so they could sing the songs.

00:44:17
Right. It's not like we watch the movie

00:44:19
in the minivan while going to the theater, right?

00:44:22
To watch the movie. Exactly, you know, so it's it's

00:44:25
that's exactly it. But it's like that is the

00:44:27
example that that that should be the thing that sets the bar is

00:44:30
something as successful as K Pop Demon Hunters and and every time

00:44:34
they put it in theaters, people still want to go see it even

00:44:36
though they own the damn movie. Right, Right.

00:44:39
Exactly. Yeah.

00:44:40
You know, it's like, that is the example, right?

00:44:42
So it's it's it's kind of like, OK, well, why not think that?

00:44:46
OK, we have a movie. It's been in theaters for 17

00:44:48
days. It didn't do well in theaters.

00:44:50
They put it on on TV on on Netflix.

00:44:54
People will go watch it on Netflix at home and they're

00:44:56
like, Oh my God, this movie is really good.

00:44:57
I wish I would have saw it in theaters.

00:44:59
Oh, wait, it is in theaters. Let me go see it in theaters.

00:45:02
Well, I think also Netflix looks at things from a more analytical

00:45:08
point of view and versus like the being able to conform to

00:45:12
like what exists now. And they look at it and they

00:45:15
say, you know, honestly, most films make their biggest, you

00:45:21
know, income during the first two to three weeks that it's in

00:45:25
theaters. That's it, everything.

00:45:26
Then it just trails off because other movies come in.

00:45:29
All the diehards have seen the film.

00:45:31
So the, the, the drop off is pretty severe after that third

00:45:35
week. So I think it's them pushing

00:45:37
that like, hey, why are we leaving this in theaters?

00:45:40
They're also kind of risk averse it seems at this point too so.

00:45:45
But it also tells me that they don't care about box office

00:45:48
dollars. Yeah, Yeah.

00:45:50
They want to make money. That's great, but honestly, if

00:45:53
it's going to mean more to them, if they can get that new new ish

00:45:57
film onto a platform in 30 days, right, if they go, hey, you know

00:46:04
this this movie was a a banger and it did well, that's great.

00:46:07
You want to go see it? It's in theaters for a few more

00:46:09
days or you can watch it at home in 10 days.

00:46:13
You know, so I think it's them saying like, hey, we want to

00:46:15
make Netflix and and Max look really good by getting that

00:46:20
content. Yeah, the the other thing is, is

00:46:23
the the big thing with this whole 17 day theatrical window

00:46:26
thing right now, it's a rumor. It's it's not something that

00:46:30
Netflix officially put out. It was something that somebody

00:46:33
supposedly heard in a meeting and leaked out to the to the

00:46:36
media. So I mean, like, you know, it's

00:46:38
it's it's not like necessary that this is what they're going

00:46:41
for. It could have just been like a

00:46:42
pitch idea that somebody had and they were like, Oh, yeah, OK,

00:46:44
let's you know that. We'll we'll table that for

00:46:47
another conversation. And somebody went and said, no,

00:46:49
they're doing this. And now Netflix is getting this

00:46:51
reputation. But again.

00:46:52
But he freaked out. Yeah, again, the, the, I think

00:46:54
the best course of action for Netflix to the best thing for

00:46:57
Sarandos to do in this case would be not to pull it out of

00:47:02
theaters after 17 days, but to cut exclusivity after 17 days

00:47:06
and say, hey, you know, like, like I just mentioned, hey, you

00:47:11
know, you guys have it exclusively for the 1st 17 days

00:47:13
and then it's on Netflix and then we will still keep it in

00:47:17
theaters for 45 days, right? Because it maybe, maybe the

00:47:22
experiment is OK. Disney tried to do the whole old

00:47:25
school, we're going to put a trailer in front of a movie

00:47:27
that's going to get people to go watch a movie, right?

00:47:31
And and you know, yeah, I made a bunch of money, but that that

00:47:34
this third Avatar movie, as much as a lot of people like it, did

00:47:38
not make as much money as the 1st 2:00.

00:47:39
So at least individually. So so, you know, putting a

00:47:43
trailer in front of a movie is not necessarily something that's

00:47:46
going to happen that's going to work nowadays, especially now

00:47:49
that they I mean, given they they put the trailers online

00:47:52
after a while, right? I mean, you know, you get that

00:47:54
exclusivity for like a week before it's out online.

00:47:57
I think Netflix is like, OK, well, let's try it our way,

00:48:00
right? 17 days.

00:48:01
It'll still be in theaters for 45 days, but after 17 days it's

00:48:05
on Netflix. And we'll see if that will

00:48:08
bolster people to go into the theaters more because they do

00:48:12
have a like, like they, they have money on they're they're

00:48:16
leaving money on the table if they decide to not go by that

00:48:21
window. And they're just like, OK, well,

00:48:22
we're not going to, you know, do this.

00:48:25
You know, they're buying Warner Brothers for their library, but

00:48:29
also for that distribution process so they can get more

00:48:33
awards and things like that. And I think that the smartest

00:48:36
thing for them is to give people the option to go see to do it

00:48:42
both ways. Let me add this real quick

00:48:46
though, because part of that gap between being released in

00:48:49
theaters and when it's streaming used to compensate for like,

00:48:53
hey, we're going to make physical media DVD Blu-ray, you

00:48:58
know what is it steel book and, and we're going to sell it.

00:49:01
We're going to put it in Best Buy and target and we're going

00:49:05
to make a ton of money there. That's really not a a big market

00:49:09
anymore. And the people that still want

00:49:12
that physical media are still going to buy that whenever it

00:49:16
comes out. So the main consumers become the

00:49:20
streamers, people that are, are, are are streaming the movie and

00:49:25
want to stream this movie. So great.

00:49:27
We'll put it over here, we'll put in theaters for this many

00:49:30
days. But you know what, we're going

00:49:31
to reward you people that are are streaming audience by

00:49:35
bringing you this new movie fairly quickly.

00:49:40
And I think that's the retention they want.

00:49:42
Yeah. But again, with Phil's idea,

00:49:44
that would still be the case. So I agree that's a good kind

00:49:48
of. What Netflix is struggling with

00:49:51
is retention more than anything. So I mean, like, how do you get

00:49:54
people to retain their their subscriptions or even bring in

00:49:58
new subscriptions? Is exactly this is, you know,

00:50:01
you're putting films like, hey, you can see it in theatre or you

00:50:05
can see it on Netflix after 17 days, you know, and that brings

00:50:10
people back to the fold. You know, things like that,

00:50:15
things like WWE, things like the, the, the, the, the live

00:50:20
sports. Like, you know, they, they've

00:50:21
had, they've had live football on Netflix.

00:50:24
They've had a couple of different like sporting events.

00:50:26
Of course, combat sports have been all over Netflix, you know,

00:50:30
the, the boxing matches and everything like that.

00:50:33
Netflix is trying to bring in those new audiences and they're

00:50:36
doing a good job of, of that. I think that this is just

00:50:40
another way to do that. Yeah, definitely I.

00:50:43
Agree so. Well, we've talked about Netflix

00:50:45
for. Hold on, hold on, James.

00:50:46
I have one more thing. Well, I was just.

00:50:48
Going to say things are things are changing and it's just part

00:50:50
of the situation where like Netflix, just like Apple was

00:50:55
that the changing factor. They're the, they're the

00:50:59
fulcrum, they're the catalyst of what's about change.

00:51:01
Like when, you know, Apple goes, we're going to get rid of

00:51:04
CD-ROM, we're going to get rid of a DDDVD player, everybody's

00:51:08
going to go to USB C. It just happens.

00:51:12
And then everybody else just kind of conforms.

00:51:14
And I think that's what Netflix wants to do.

00:51:16
Right. Well, you know things are

00:51:18
changing. But you know what isn't

00:51:20
changing? It's a distant starting.

00:51:22
It's part of the Geek Freaks not work.

00:51:28

00:51:56
We are very, very excited for what we're going to be doing

00:51:59
here, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to talk about

00:52:01
everything that we're excited about in 2026 moving forward.

00:52:06
Let's. I like this.

00:52:14
I feel like I should be wearing a tuxedo.

00:52:16
Yeah, I know. I right?

00:52:22
Made it very fancy I. Don't know.

00:52:24
All right. So Phil, you got the first

00:52:26
little sub segment here. Absolutely do have the first sub

00:52:30
segment here. So let's let's jump into this

00:52:33
guys. We're going to talk about what

00:52:35
we're looking forward to as far as TV and streaming.

00:52:39
So it's time to talk forward 2026 TV.

00:52:43
So let's let's go with this guys again, I this, this was really

00:52:48
hard for me to sit there and, and, and like make my top fives

00:52:52
on this and say, you know, I'm excited the most for this and

00:52:56
excited the least for this and whatever.

00:52:58
No, I, I've got so many things that I'm excited for when it

00:53:02
comes to this year. So what I'm going to do here,

00:53:07
because I've got a long list of everything, I'm just going to

00:53:09
kind of go off of my most, most excited ones.

00:53:12
Now my, my #5 here, let me put this on #5 there it is.

00:53:19
I was like, where's the sound? My #5 here is going to be

00:53:24
something that I know that not only am I excited for, I'm sure

00:53:28
you guys both have this on your list as well.

00:53:31
I'm really shouting out Matt Aguilar right now because I know

00:53:34
he's going to be stupid excited for this.

00:53:37
Lanterns Lanterns is a big deal for me.

00:53:40
I grew up a Green Lantern fan. I've always been a fan like how

00:53:45
Jordan is one thing, but I, I grew up in an era where Jon

00:53:48
Stewart on on on TV, Jon Stewart got the forefront.

00:53:54
But in the comics, my, my favorite Green Lantern emerged

00:53:59
there he is right there, ring slinging, you know, and I know

00:54:04
again, Matt Aguilar's favorite Green Lantern.

00:54:06
We, we, we share. Ring slinging woo green light.

00:54:10
Wielding oh man. But we, we, we, we share the

00:54:18
same favorite Green Lantern in, in Kyle Rayner, right?

00:54:24
So it's kind of like, I know they said that Kyle Rayner is

00:54:26
not going to be in, in this show.

00:54:28
But I mean, down the road, maybe we will get Kyle.

00:54:30
It's mostly because Kyle is a massive nerd.

00:54:32
Kyle is a, an artist. Like he's that an actual like,

00:54:37
like, you know, artist. So his creativity was always

00:54:40
really good. But like, you know, again, I, I,

00:54:43
I, I love the idea of this first foray into Green Lanterns and

00:54:49
we're getting a team up of how Jordan and Jon Stewart, and

00:54:53
that's going to be fun. So Green Lanterns is going to

00:54:55
be. Incredibly, Yeah.

00:54:57
And of course, we'll get to this online, but yeah, all right,

00:54:59
cool. I totally agree, Sue.

00:55:01
I knew you were going to have lanterns on your list, so I

00:55:03
didn't even put it on my list, but it's it's definitely there.

00:55:07
And by the way, Aaron Pierre is incredible, so I'm excited.

00:55:10
The guys for this ridiculously handsome SO should do.

00:55:13
What's your number for you? First, mine is actually in order

00:55:17
of like what I'm most excited about.

00:55:19
S #5 is least excited of all of these, but again, not by much.

00:55:24
So House of Dragons season 3 is coming out this year.

00:55:28
Nice. And so, you know, I'm excited

00:55:32
about it. I, I was one of the few people

00:55:34
who apparently really enjoyed season 2.

00:55:36
So I'm, I'm looking forward to it.

00:55:39
We're getting into the actual Dance of the Dragons, which I

00:55:42
think will be very, very fun. I'm excited for actually

00:55:46
everybody to be in open war now. And yeah, so I'm, you know, I

00:55:51
really, I love the universe of song by story.

00:55:53
We're going to get to another one soon as well with me.

00:55:58
But yeah, so I'm, I'm looking forward to it.

00:56:00
I think it'll be fun all. Right, James, What's your?

00:56:05
House of Dragons is also on my list, but I didn't put it on

00:56:09
because I knew Shaddu was going to add it.

00:56:12
So, you know, we, we, we can repeat, it's just what we're

00:56:15
excited about it. It can be the same thing.

00:56:17
I'd like to steal some of yours too, so I.

00:56:20
Stole. OK, you know what *?

00:56:21
Trek Starfleet Academy, Sir, thank you very much.

00:56:26
That's that's one of my honorable mentions.

00:56:28
I I think we talked about we talked about it like a month ago

00:56:32
or something about it's going to be like the like farthest in, in

00:56:37
like the timeline, right, the farthest thing out there.

00:56:40
So I'm I'm interested by the way, Becky Lynch is in this

00:56:44
show. Yeah, I'm kind of excited for

00:56:46
that. I'm excited to see what she

00:56:48
could do on the on the acting front.

00:56:50
So I want to see if she's going to be like a reoccurring

00:56:52
character, if it's just like a one shot thing.

00:56:55
But that gets me excited and it looks kind of interesting.

00:56:57
I've been looking for a point to jump back into Star Trek, so

00:57:01
this may be it because it looks, it looks pretty good.

00:57:05
I'm excited for it. So that's my #5 awesome, Phil.

00:57:09
So let's let's move over to your #4 number fours #4.

00:57:14
Oh, you want me to go? OK, that's good.

00:57:15
We'll just go. We'll stick it back and forth.

00:57:18
Well, I, I, we were doing so it's Phil, me, James.

00:57:21
So Phil, go. I was like.

00:57:24
What's what's what's? Like I'm not I'm not into

00:57:27
conformity gate. OK, there you go.

00:57:30
So I'm not going to. This is not T, this is.

00:57:32
This is called trying to move forward.

00:57:34
Here. Oh, not bad.

00:57:35
Not. Bad.

00:57:36
So my number 4 is going to be the boys season 5 and that that

00:57:39
is a big deal for me just mainly because I'm I'm ready for this

00:57:44
conclusion. I, I, I want to see how they're

00:57:46
going to end it. It's it's already veered off so

00:57:49
far from the comics and I'm enjoying what they've done, you

00:57:53
know, because now I can just kind of enjoy the ride because

00:57:55
it's one of those things where, you know, yeah, I read the

00:57:57
comics, but I don't know what's going to happen at this point.

00:58:00
I don't know where they're going because they've changed so much

00:58:03
from the comics. But they've done so well in such

00:58:06
a masterful way that I'm not upset that so much has changed

00:58:10
from the comics because it's, it's been such a good storyline.

00:58:12
So it's going to be interesting to see how they do all this.

00:58:16
What about? What about you here should do?

00:58:19
All right, my number 4 is Vision Quest, which I'm sure we'll get

00:58:22
to with other people. Yeah, this is our like third in

00:58:27
the One Division trilogy apparently before or I guess

00:58:30
after One Division. And Agatha, of course.

00:58:33
And Agatha has been my favorite Marvel show they've ever done.

00:58:37
So I'm, I'm excited about this. Have you?

00:58:40
Seen. Secret invasion, Sir.

00:58:44
Yes, and it's terrible. So good.

00:58:47
So but I'm I'm really excited about this.

00:58:51
I it sounds like it will be. Not that one division Agatha

00:58:55
weren't philosophical, but this sounds a lot more like

00:58:58
philosophical and trippy. The ship.

00:59:00
Of thesis. The ship of thesis, it sounds

00:59:04
really strange and weird and I'm really looking forward to it and

00:59:11
I'm, I'm interested in them kind of how they're bringing vision

00:59:13
back and what that's going to mean for the the future of

00:59:17
everything. I think it's coming out before

00:59:20
doomsday. So it should.

00:59:23
Yeah. Doomsday, December.

00:59:26
Oh, oh, oh, right, right. OK.

00:59:27
Yeah. So it's coming before doomsday.

00:59:29
I'm interested to see what what happens there.

00:59:33
Yeah. That's pretty.

00:59:34
That's all I could say. Business question.

00:59:36
James, what's your #4, Sir? I was going to say I had Vision

00:59:40
Quest on my list, but I pulled it off because I knew you were

00:59:42
going to mention it. So I took it off.

00:59:44
But. You can repeat things.

00:59:48
So I just want to let you know I I had that on my list too, but

00:59:52
my number 4 is Avatar the Last Airbender season 2.

00:59:58
I am excited. What was really great is I got

01:00:01
to watch season one with my family and they all loved it.

01:00:07
I all loved it. So it was, it was fun getting to

01:00:12
enjoy something like this with with them, you know, because

01:00:16
it's like I love Avatar, like I love the, you know, the, the

01:00:21
anime or the Filoni version and then seeing them get into the

01:00:24
characters and we turn on the, the, the Shyamalan movie and

01:00:29
they hated it. They're like, get this out of

01:00:31
here, turn on the the show again.

01:00:34
It sucked. I know exactly.

01:00:36
So it shows me that they're like invested in it and they want to

01:00:38
see the characters so. Avatar for me, yeah.

01:00:44
So, so, so good. OK.

01:00:47
So moving on, we're going to go down.

01:00:51
To #3 #3. So I picked my other three shows

01:00:56
that I'm going to do on this. So again, I don't have a

01:00:58
particular order, but I think I'm going to for #3 I'm going to

01:01:02
go to Monarch season 2. And, and the reason is because

01:01:06
again, Monarch season 1 was done so well.

01:01:09
It was done. And I, I, I love the way that

01:01:12
they kind of transition between when he's his character's young

01:01:17
and when he's old and it's played by father and son.

01:01:22
You know, it's, it's, we got a lot more Godzilla than I thought

01:01:26
we were going to get in that show.

01:01:28
They have a lot of explanation on, you know, kind of the center

01:01:32
of the earth, how time works, why Godzilla is able to do a lot

01:01:35
of the things that he does, like gives an explanation for a lot

01:01:38
of those things, kind of the organization monarch and what

01:01:43
they represent and you know, how they exist within the world and

01:01:46
everything like that. Season 2 we're going to be

01:01:48
getting Godzilla, Godzilla and King Kong.

01:01:51
They've already shown like you know, we're getting King Kong in

01:01:54
season 2. So it's like, you know, I'm, I'm

01:01:57
excited to see where they take the story and how they how they

01:02:01
bridge the rest of these monster verse movies that they've been

01:02:05
doing. So it's.

01:02:07
Is King Kong going to have a Michael Jackson glove?

01:02:10
What's happening? Is it that version of King Kong

01:02:12
I'm. Pretty sure it is.

01:02:13
I'm pretty sure he does have the King Kong or the the Michael

01:02:15
Jackson glove. OK, just checking.

01:02:21
All right, so you know what? I so no, no, I I was going to

01:02:28
make a separate joke that would I know it's a it's in that kind

01:02:32
of monster verse. All I can think of is the

01:02:34
Venture Brothers character when you say Monarch.

01:02:36
The monarch is. So good.

01:02:38
Yeah, he's so good. All right, so my number 3 is you

01:02:45
need. To clean everything up, you need

01:02:47
to clean all the things up. The other Song of Ice and Fire

01:02:51
thing is happening this year, A Night of the Seven Kingdoms,

01:02:55
which was an adaptation of the Dunkin Egg little novellas.

01:03:01
Yeah, I'm really excited about this.

01:03:02
I have kind of been, except I was like, oh, I should probably

01:03:05
read those or whatever. They're like, oh, they're making

01:03:07
a series, you know, and I don't want to do that again and have

01:03:09
it be where I've read something and I so I know all of it.

01:03:13
So I've eventually not read any of the the Dunkin Egg stuff, but

01:03:17
this sounds like a much more kind of I know, I know they're

01:03:21
really good and they want to it's just like I want to see

01:03:24
anyway. I'm, but it sounds like a more

01:03:28
ground level story and I'm, you know, really excited about that.

01:03:34
I love the kind of more when we go a little bit more low fantasy

01:03:37
for song, rice and fire and really explore the more kind of

01:03:42
small folk side of the world instead of all the noble stuff

01:03:45
we're usually experiencing. So it's I, yeah, I, I I'm really

01:03:49
excited for it. Right.

01:03:51
So, all right, James, you're #3 Sir.

01:03:55
I mean I I had that one on my list too.

01:03:57
I just want to throw that out there.

01:03:58
But my number 3 is shrinking Season 3 on Apple TV Plus.

01:04:05
I don't know if you guys watched it.

01:04:06
Super funny show. I've watched season 1 it's it's

01:04:08
pretty funny. It's great.

01:04:10
And then Season 3 will feature Michael J Fox.

01:04:15
Yeah, I saw that. Coming back to acting.

01:04:17
So I'm super excited to see that one.

01:04:19
So I dig it. It's going to be.

01:04:21
Fun it was, it was some comedies.

01:04:23
It was a big deal when they announced that he was going to

01:04:25
be coming back for where he was coming back to acting for Season

01:04:27
3. And it's like, God, they got

01:04:29
Michael J Fox to come back, and it's pretty big.

01:04:33
And that's what bumped Duncan Egg out of here, because it was

01:04:39
about that. It's like Duncan egg.

01:04:41
It wasn't. Kids, Marty.

01:04:44
There's a bunch of kids, Marty. You have to do something about

01:04:46
your kids. You got a bunch of eggs, Marty.

01:04:51
You have a bunch of eggs, Marty. You have to get.

01:04:53
You have to get rid of the eggs. There's dunks everywhere.

01:04:58
Sorry. All right.

01:05:02
Let's move on. All right, number #2 oh God,

01:05:10
it's so bad. Funny enough, my number 2 is the

01:05:13
Night of the Seven Kingdoms, so I.

01:05:16
See. I I am very excited for this.

01:05:18
Unlike James, you do repeat because you're you're, you're

01:05:21
actually doing it. Because, because I am excited

01:05:24
for this night of the Seven Kingdoms.

01:05:26
I mean, it was, it was close for, for, for my #1 So I was

01:05:30
like, Oh my God, I've got a couple like between that and,

01:05:33
and this other show that I, that I'm excited for.

01:05:35
But Night of the Seven Kingdoms. I am somebody who's familiar

01:05:38
with Duncan Egg. I am I know who Egg is going to

01:05:40
be which I. Mean yeah, I, I, I know who egg

01:05:43
is. Well, and that's the whole thing

01:05:44
is that that's supposed to be the twist in the show.

01:05:46
Like everybody's just like, Oh yeah, no, don't, don't, don't

01:05:49
spoil who Egg is supposed to be because, you know, not everybody

01:05:53
knows who that is. I think I've talked about it on

01:05:55
the show, like way before they even announced they were doing

01:05:57
the show. I talked about like Duncan Egg

01:06:00
and the significance in the Game of Thrones universe and how cool

01:06:03
would be if they did a show for that.

01:06:05
And like, now, now they're doing a show.

01:06:06
So go back and it's like, go back and listen to old episodes

01:06:09
and you'll find out who Egg is because I talk about who he is.

01:06:14
But yeah, no, I, I'm excited. If you don't want to be spoiled.

01:06:17
I'm excited for it more more so because it's it's going to be

01:06:21
fun to kind of see how they do that reveal and and how they

01:06:24
handle that and, you know, explain who he is.

01:06:28
I like the fact that he essentially when the trailer,

01:06:32
when they've shown him I, I, I the one hint I'm going to give

01:06:37
you guys, it's not a spoiler, but the one hint I'm going to

01:06:39
give you guys is that he looks like a kid with alopecia in the,

01:06:41
in the trailers. And that's yeah, yeah.

01:06:45
And, and that, that, that is significant to who he is.

01:06:49
So I, I, I like that, that they did that because it makes him

01:06:54
more ambiguous of a character. And that helps with that reveal

01:06:57
at the end of this of that first season, which they'd be dumb if

01:07:00
they didn't reveal that at the end of the first season.

01:07:03
Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm sure they will.

01:07:05
I'm sure they will. So, so that's my #2 I should do.

01:07:09
What's your #2? My number 2 is Wonder Man.

01:07:14
It's coming out very soon. We just actually, we just got a

01:07:18
new trailer for it. It looks really good.

01:07:20
It looks really meta. Comes out with 10 days.

01:07:23
Yeah, I think yeah, the 17th, I think.

01:07:25
Yeah, yeah, it's I'm a little, I'm a little hesitant because I

01:07:32
don't know how like for the jugular they're going to go

01:07:36
because I feel like if you're doing a meta show like this, you

01:07:39
need to go pretty hard on parading yourself.

01:07:45
But I'm I'm looking forward to it.

01:07:46
It looks really fun. It looks again like a different

01:07:49
corner of the MCU. I'm glad that we get Trevor

01:07:52
Slattery back. Loved, loved him in Shangji.

01:07:57
So I I do wonder if Morris is going to be there still.

01:08:00
That would be really funny. That's I kind of want Chong Chi

01:08:03
to show up because it's like. Yeah, we.

01:08:05
Complaining about how we need more Simulu in our life man.

01:08:08
We, I mean, yeah, we, we always do.

01:08:11
We always do. So yeah, it's 1 number. 2 James,

01:08:14
what's your #2, Sir? I could have Wonder Man on my

01:08:18
list but. It was, it was Wonder Man, but

01:08:21
he had to change it because you know, you can't have the same

01:08:24
one as you. So it wasn't Wonder Man anymore.

01:08:26
So I popped in the Stranger Things Tales from 85, the

01:08:30
animated show. Very excited for Stranger Things

01:08:33
and it's not conforming to anybody's rules, but it's an

01:08:38
it's a little animated show. Takes place between season 2 and

01:08:43
season 3, correct? So I'm interested.

01:08:45
I want to see I I need more stranger things so I'm looking.

01:08:50
To it. I, I wonder if it's going to

01:08:52
show because we were just talking about Dustin and, and,

01:08:56
and Susie. Like I wonder if this is

01:08:58
actually, because this is actually that summer where he

01:09:00
meets Susie. So it's like, I wonder if

01:09:02
they're actually going to show him going to camp and meeting

01:09:04
Susie. That's a good point.

01:09:06
I didn't even think about that, but that's good.

01:09:08
But you know, between Season 2 and Season 3, they're still

01:09:11
going to be like little kids. So I think we're going to get

01:09:13
more of that kind of innocence, you know, and seeing them grow

01:09:18
in this, in the craziness that that's happening between 2:00

01:09:22
and 3:00. So I'm excited to see what they

01:09:25
what they're going to show in Tales from 85.

01:09:28
And honestly, the Ducks do a good job of like having

01:09:32
supplemental content. I don't know if you've watched

01:09:35
anything about the first Shadows.

01:09:38
Stage I. Was in London, in New York.

01:09:41
Yeah, dude, it's so good. It's so deep and so like woven

01:09:45
together. I totally enjoy that.

01:09:47
So I'm I totally want to see what they're going to do with

01:09:50
Hales 85. Yeah, absolutely agree.

01:09:53
Agree. All right, so let's jump into

01:09:55
the number one spot here, number 20.

01:09:59
Sorry #1 there you go. So now we're at the number one

01:10:05
spot. My number one spot is Daredevil

01:10:09
Born Again season 2. And the main reason is because

01:10:13
again, I absolutely enjoyed season 1.

01:10:17
I know a lot of people didn't like how slow it it was and

01:10:20
everything like that, but I felt like the exposition was really

01:10:22
good, the storytelling was really good.

01:10:24
They really set up everything for season 2.

01:10:27
I feel like season 2 we are getting that battle for New York

01:10:31
where they are fighting Wilson Fisk as as Mayor Fisk.

01:10:38
You know, there, there are so many just crazy turns that that

01:10:43
that that they do in the comic that I would love to see what

01:10:48
aspects from the comic they take and put in the show.

01:10:51
But then also, who are we getting back?

01:10:54
We know we're getting Jessica Jones back.

01:10:55
We've they've already confirmed that, you know, we, we, we don't

01:11:00
know that we're getting Mike Coulter back.

01:11:02
Mike Coulter's been very, very gun shy about talking about the

01:11:06
show in general. But there is rumors that they've

01:11:10
been bringing iron fist into the fold on this and we're going to

01:11:13
get a proper version of iron fist.

01:11:16
So it's kind of like I, I'm excited to see where they're

01:11:20
going to go with this. If we're going to get like a

01:11:21
full on Defenders reunion in this and the Defenders are

01:11:25
fighting him, are we going to get a lecture back and and get

01:11:30
like the the the electronachios from that?

01:11:34
Because again, there is a version of electronachios that

01:11:37
lives in the MCU, but it's the one from the Ben Affleck movie,

01:11:43
right, right. So it's going to be interesting

01:11:45
to see if they bring in, you know, this, this universe's

01:11:49
Elektra and she is that total badass that she was in, in the

01:11:54
Daredevil Netflix show. So I, I'm, I'm excited for this

01:11:58
just to kind of see how much more they bring the Netflix

01:12:01
stuff into the fold and how they play it off and whether they fix

01:12:07
a lot of the problems that the the old shows had as good as

01:12:10
they were. Cool.

01:12:14
Very cool. So my number one is Lanterns.

01:12:20
Yeah. So kind of like Phil, but in in

01:12:24
a different way. I was never really that much of

01:12:26
a common person, but what really got me into that side of nerddom

01:12:31
was Green Lantern and all of that fun stuff.

01:12:35
I, I love that kind of little corner of the universe and how

01:12:40
all of that works. I'm incredibly excited for this.

01:12:43
I really think this has been a show or movie or whatever that

01:12:49
has been teased for years now before James Gunn even took

01:12:53
over. I think it's been changed so

01:12:56
much that I'm really excited for this.

01:12:59
I really am interested in what they're going to do, how they're

01:13:03
going to characterize these people, how they're going to do.

01:13:07
Obviously Jon Stewart and Hal and everybody and yeah, I'm

01:13:12
curious if there's going to be other lanterns, there's going to

01:13:14
be other colours, other emotions in there too.

01:13:20
I I want larflees or we or or or or or we riot.

01:13:25
Yes. Larflees is yeah.

01:13:27
Larflees is such a random ass Lantern character.

01:13:30
He's. He's I love him.

01:13:32
So much. He's the Orange Lantern.

01:13:33
He is the the, the he's. The sole orange Lantern.

01:13:36
Yeah, well, he's the he's, yeah, he's the only Orange Lantern

01:13:38
because this is the Lantern of Greed.

01:13:41
Dude, Larfleeze would be such a cool character to just pull up

01:13:44
on. This feels like is, is James

01:13:48
Gunn like for winning this or is this this somebody else?

01:13:51
Right, right. Yeah.

01:13:53
But that seems like a James Gunn thing to do, though.

01:13:56
Yeah, just put Larfleys in there.

01:13:58
Show larfleys in there, Matt said he.

01:14:00
Wants just like have him be at a random, yeah.

01:14:02
Yeah, Matt said he would want St.

01:14:04
Walker, who's one of the Blue Lanterns.

01:14:06
That's pretty cool. Yes, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I love, I

01:14:09
love him. Yeah.

01:14:10
Yeah. So anyway.

01:14:11
All right, so I'm, I'm really excited for it.

01:14:12
I think it'll be fun. I'm.

01:14:14
I'm curious. So.

01:14:15
All right. Moving on, James.

01:14:17
I also had Lanterns on my list but we are by the way we are

01:14:21
getting a Sinestro. We are getting us to know that

01:14:26
is a good point. We do not know if he's a a Green

01:14:30
Lantern, Yellow Lantern, We don't know his.

01:14:32
Status. I kind of hope he has the has

01:14:34
the blue costume though, just because I think it'd be funny.

01:14:37
That would be funny. No, you know, you know who else

01:14:40
would be a cool? And it's probably not going to

01:14:42
happen this season, but like season 2, it'll probably he'll

01:14:44
probably pull up if Atrocitus pulls up.

01:14:47
Yeah. Atrocities, Atrocities would be

01:14:50
a massive threat, but it seems like they're not.

01:14:52
They're they're kind of go from going for a more grounded thing

01:14:55
in season 1. So like season 2, if they go

01:14:57
more cosmic and they deal with the Trositus and they deal with

01:15:00
like Parallax and someone like the crazy, like just insane

01:15:05
villains that the Green Lanterns deal with, that'd be fucking

01:15:07
amazing. Yeah, that's, yeah, I'm, I'm,

01:15:10
I'm. So I'm so excited about this

01:15:11
that we actually get a proper version of that world.

01:15:17
James. James.

01:15:18
List. What is the actual number one?

01:15:21
It's not on anyone else's list. I've been changing my my list as

01:15:26
you guys been saying things because all your stuff is on my

01:15:28
list and I don't want to say the same thing.

01:15:30
And shame on you for not having Ahsoka season 2 on your lists.

01:15:37
It's on my honorable mentions. You didn't mention it, so it

01:15:40
doesn't. Count.

01:15:42
Well, we haven't done all the mentions.

01:15:43
Yeah, like I said, I just picked random random shows off my list

01:15:48
because at the at the end of this, I'm going I'm just going

01:15:50
to list off every show I'm excited for and then whatever

01:15:54
you guys don't have then please feel free to add in so.

01:15:57
OK, so I want to say like the nerd in me says Ahsoka season 2,

01:16:02
especially with the more Lucasfilm rumors about Dave

01:16:07
Filoni taking over from for Kathleen Kennedy.

01:16:09
But you know, we'll talk about that next week.

01:16:12
Again, still a rumor, but Ahsoka season 2, I really loved that

01:16:17
show and where it went. And we got Thrawn, we got Ezra

01:16:21
Bridger, you know, we got we got Ahsoka, we got it all.

01:16:24
I'm super excited more of that. But that's not my number one.

01:16:28
That's not my number one. My number one was.

01:16:31
Shame on you. You guys don't even know what

01:16:34
this is, but Tracker on CBS Oh my.

01:16:38
James, I do know what that is. I think my my age is showing

01:16:42
because I really enjoyed Tracker My.

01:16:45
My dad and grandfather really like that show.

01:16:48
Yes, and it's amazing. James 100% is a man who partakes

01:16:53
in Dad TV so. Total dad TV.

01:16:56
Total dad TV. It's episodic, like things get

01:16:59
wrapped up within like 50 minutes, you know, in

01:17:02
commercials. Oh, it's so great.

01:17:04
You can fall asleep to it, wake up, and then you're like, oh, I,

01:17:07
I still know where it's. I see, I see the commercials for

01:17:10
the show on Price is Right. This to tell you what is going

01:17:14
on here. Well, look who's watching.

01:17:16
The price is right, OK. No, because I have a grandfather

01:17:21
and we live with. And we like it, but I mean, I

01:17:26
don't know if you guys have watched any of Cracker, but it

01:17:30
stars Justin Hartley, who you don't recognize the name

01:17:34
probably, but you'll recognize the face because he played Green

01:17:39
Arrow back in one of the was not listen, Clark, the the the one

01:17:48
before Smallville in Smallville. Oh yeah.

01:17:52
So. That's a bad thing.

01:17:54
It's out here, yeah. Yeah, exactly.

01:17:57
So we so he played Green Arrow in Smallville.

01:18:01
What's his name? Alan Richardson played Aquaman

01:18:05
in Smallville. Come on, man, this is this is

01:18:08
great, but it's a really great show.

01:18:12
I get sucked into it and total dad Tvi got sucked into that.

01:18:16
I got sucked into fire country I.

01:18:20
Love. You and I don't know what's

01:18:22
wrong with me I. Love you so much.

01:18:24
My wife and I got sucked in and and she's and she's like, hey,

01:18:28
can I just say something? I'm like, what's up?

01:18:29
She's like, we can't tell anybody.

01:18:31
We we watch this, these shows. So I'm like done.

01:18:34
James, what are you doing? What are you doing?

01:18:37
You're telling James. James.

01:18:41
James James James, this is a reminder you need to schedule

01:18:44
your You need to schedule a prostate exam soon.

01:18:48
Exactly, that's OK. She doesn't she doesn't watch

01:18:51
the show. So she I got to be like I don't

01:18:53
know what you're talking about because she doesn't watch the

01:18:55
show. So it's fine.

01:18:56
But I'm super into dad TV. I'm liking me some tracker,

01:18:59
liking me some fire country. Great.

01:19:01
Don't forget Ahsoka season 2 is on you.

01:19:19
excited for this year and anything you guys want to add on

01:19:21
that I that I miss, please throw it in.

01:19:23
So some of these you guys already mentioned Starfleet

01:19:26
Academy. I'm very excited for wonder man.

01:19:27
I'm very excited for The Pit Season 2.

01:19:31
If you guys did not watch The Pit, it is amazing.

01:19:34
It is very deserving of all of the awards that it got and I'm

01:19:38
very excited. Season 2 is already starting up

01:19:40
like in like next next week or something like that.

01:19:42
So pretty crazy. Paradise Season 2 James, you got

01:19:46
me in on that one. That was a good one.

01:19:49
I regretted not watching that when it came out.

01:19:52
The the Paradise season 1 was amazing.

01:19:54
Paradise season 2 is coming out this year so I'm very excited

01:19:57
for that. X-Men 97 season 2.

01:20:00
Vision Quest, we mentioned that. House of the Dragon season 3.

01:20:03
We mentioned that Ahsoka season 2.

01:20:05
I know James is making a big deal about that, but it was on

01:20:07
my list. Spider Noir is another big one.

01:20:10
James mentioned Last Airbender season 2.

01:20:13
Ted Lasso is another big one for me.

01:20:16
Given that they they mentioned that we're getting another one,

01:20:18
I know your mom's probably excited for that one.

01:20:20
I didn't. I didn't know that was

01:20:22
confirmed. Yes, they they've already been

01:20:24
filming. Oh, shit.

01:20:26
All right. Well, that.

01:20:27
Yeah, See, I didn't even know it was on there.

01:20:28
That should have been on my. List yeah so anything you

01:20:31
anything else you guys want to add into that because my list is

01:20:34
starting to move into the movies and we're.

01:20:35
Going to X-Men 97 Season 2 said that is also coming Witcher

01:20:42
season 5. Yes, Witcher season 5 is another

01:20:45
big one. With first one with Liam

01:20:47
Hemsworth. So yeah, which I've not been

01:20:51
caught up on The Witcher. I want to, but that would be the

01:20:54
only reason we'd have Netflix and we don't so.

01:20:56
Yeah, I, I will say this like I I do miss Henry Cavill and and

01:21:02
Liam, but Liam is doing a great job.

01:21:04
But what's really nice about this season, you're doing great.

01:21:08
Should should do Hemsworth. They let the rest of the cast

01:21:14
shine. Yeah.

01:21:15
And it's really it's really it helps round out the series.

01:21:19
So I'm I actually really enjoyed this last season with Liam

01:21:24
Hemsworth. Hemsworth.

01:21:26
So yeah, let me see a couple that we didn't mention.

01:21:30
One piece is coming back. That's right, Season 2.

Oh, I have to start. Yeah.

01:22:08
Well, no, I'm saying you you're hosting this subject, Yeah.

01:22:13
So I do I get to go first as well.

01:22:14
Yes, you do. I'm so excited.

01:22:18
You just can't hide it. Now we have to change our our

01:22:21
our our lists. Exactly.

01:22:25
I'm not changing my list because it because it's not how it

01:22:28
works. You have to OK top, top five,

01:22:31
number 5. #5. Think about this movie until I

01:22:35
saw the the trailer for it, but I'm super into it now.

01:22:38
But disclosure day, that new Steven Spielberg movie where

01:22:43
it's like, I don't know, aliens trying to talk to people.

01:22:46
Emily Blunt is amazing at anything she does.

01:22:49
So the the trailer hooked me and I'm super into it.

01:22:53
So this is one of those ones where it's like, I'm going to

01:22:55
enjoy not knowing the story and just going on the ride in the

01:22:59
movie theater for this. That that's that's that's on my

01:23:03
honorable mention list. Disclosure days is a big deal.

01:23:07
Look at you. Should should do.

01:23:09
What's your #5 You? Shouldn't even OK my number 5 is

01:23:17
the Mandalorian and Grogu. That's my #5 So that could tell

01:23:21
you something. I'm I'll get to this in in my

01:23:25
hot takes. I'm hesitant about this movie,

01:23:31
but I'm looking forward to it. I think it'll be fun.

01:23:33
It is the first actual proper Star Wars when we've had in

01:23:36
theaters in a while, and it's a show that everybody loves.

01:23:40
I'm glad to be back to The Mandalorian after the depression

01:23:44
of Andor and the kind of, you know, it, everything's kind of

01:23:49
different. So I'm glad to be back in kind

01:23:50
of our space Western weird, you know, lone Wolf and Cub kind of

01:23:55
thing. So I'm looking forward to it.

01:23:57
I'm interested, I'm interested in seeing Rado again too, from

01:24:03
potentially the like second worst Star Wars movie it's ever

01:24:07
been made. Will be really interesting.

01:24:10
So I'm I'm just I'm just curious about this movie at this.

01:24:14
So yeah. My number 5 is Super Mario

01:24:21
Galaxy movie. Oh yeah.

01:24:24
I. That's not bad.

01:24:26
I I. I'm excited for this just

01:24:28
because the first one was so, such a runaway hit.

01:24:31
It was so good. The second one looks so fun.

01:24:37
And I and I love the idea of, you know, Bowser's kind of like,

01:24:41
you know, he's still a bad guy, but he's trying to be a good

01:24:45
guy, but he's still a bad guy. And you know, they're kind of

01:24:49
like going into the actual like Galaxy stuff.

01:24:52
And the only thing that I am hoping that we get that we like

01:24:57
wasn't in the trailer or anything is Yoshi's man.

01:24:59
Like they kind of like teased Yoshi's at the end of the first

01:25:03
movie and we didn't get any Yoshi's.

01:25:06
And then the second movie, it's almost like there's not really a

01:25:09
reason why you would bring in Yoshi's for the second movie if

01:25:12
they're, if they're focusing on Super Mario Galaxy instead of

01:25:14
like world or something like that.

01:25:17
But yeah, I mean, I, I do want to see them like bring in the

01:25:21
Yoshi's to some capacity. But other than that, like

01:25:25
everything else in that game looks like it's or movies looks

01:25:27
like it's going to be fun. So Super Mario, Super Mario

01:25:30
Galaxy movie is going to be my my #5 James.

01:25:32
I'm sorry. Yeah, yeah.

01:25:34
James Yeah. James.

01:25:37
I'm sorry are. You.

01:25:39
OK, I'm just teasing, OK, my #4 Spider Man.

01:25:43
We've been talking about Spider Man Brand New Day so much, so

01:25:48
many rumors about what's going to happen.

01:25:50
What what does this mean for the rest of the MCU?

01:25:53
I'm super excited for for Spider Man and seeing who Sadie Singh

01:25:58
is going to be playing. It's been so much.

01:26:00
I mean, the latest, we talked about Jean Grey, we talked about

01:26:05
Rachel Cole Alves. I just heard another one where

01:26:10
she's playing a different Rachel.

01:26:12
She could be playing Rachel Summers, you know?

01:26:16
It's. Crazy.

01:26:17
And a lot of it stems from the X-Men.

01:26:20
Oh, I'm sorry, the Doomsday teasers that Dooms is looking

01:26:26
for everybody's children, you know, and if if Rachel Summers

01:26:31
has the Phoenix Force, I don't know.

01:26:34
Anyway, I am just spiraling. I am just excited to see Sadie

01:26:37
sync in in anything. So yeah, I'm excited.

01:26:39
All right, so to. Do what's your #4?

01:26:43
Yes, my my number 4 is Christopher Nolan's The Oddafy.

01:26:48
Nice. This is again, it's another one

01:26:52
that I'm kind of just curious about.

01:26:55
Again, I am a big fan of of Greek religion and mythology and

01:27:01
all of that. I love all of Homer's stuff.

01:27:04
Well, I am more of an in need person.

01:27:06
I do love both the LA and the Odyssey.

01:27:10
And apparently, like everybody from Hollywood is in the damn

01:27:14
thing. Yeah.

01:27:14
So it's it sounds interesting. It kind of was the same thing

01:27:19
with with Dune for me, because like there's a bunch of people

01:27:21
in here that are really famous and really prominent.

01:27:27
And so I'm like, huh, OK. But it's worked out.

01:27:30
So I'm, I'm interested in in how this goes and if, and I guess

01:27:34
they're doing it and they say they're doing it in like a bunch

01:27:37
of different movies or something too.

01:27:41
Yeah, it's, I'm curious. I'm really just interested in

01:27:45
this movie. So I'm gonna be fine.

01:27:47
Going to see if you can get past the song of the sirens we're

01:27:50
going to see, you know? Right, exactly.

01:27:52
How how he deals with with the cyclops, which is like.

01:27:57
And again, once again, Matt Damon is stuck on some other

01:28:01
weird journey. This keeps.

01:28:03
Happening Matt Damon keeps. Happening I I will need him to

01:28:10
plant some potatoes randomly in his own shit at some.

01:28:13
Point that that sounds about right.

01:28:16
Sounds out All right, all right, my #4 is going to be Mandalorian

01:28:23
and Grogu, and it's mainly because my top three movies are

01:28:27
interchangeable with each other. But yeah, Mandalorian and Grogu

01:28:31
is a big deal again. I'm I'm really excited to kind

01:28:37
of see where they're concluding the story because it's supposed

01:28:41
to be the conclusion like where where they're concluding the

01:28:45
story. I, I want to see Zeb and, you

01:28:51
know, the, the I, I want to see kind of how far he gets because

01:28:54
Zeb in the trailer look badass and I just want to see what he's

01:28:57
going to do in the, in the movie all together.

01:29:00
Yeah, I'm, I'm just, I'm really excited for, for this movie.

01:29:04
It's again, it's the first Star Wars movie we've had in theaters

01:29:07
for seven years. So I'm just hoping this is going

01:29:10
to make a big, big splash all. Right, so number. 3 Well, now

01:29:21
that you took all the glory away, both of you, I will say #3

01:29:27
was, was Mando for me. I'm super excited for it.

01:29:30
I I have a hot take on it later so.

01:29:33
As do I, yeah. Yeah, we'll keep it going.

01:29:35
But yes, mando #3 should do. Where you going My?

01:29:39
#3 is Supergirl. Yeah.

01:29:43
I I don't really have much to say.

01:29:44
It looks like a really good movie.

01:29:46
Looks like an interesting, like pretty, it's like decently

01:29:51
faithful to a woman of tomorrow. I'm really excited to see Jason

01:29:56
Moore as Lobo because that's that's it's again, it's long

01:30:02
overdue. Yeah.

01:30:05
And I'm interested to immediately go into like the

01:30:07
more Spacey kind of galactic Guardians of the Galaxy style

01:30:13
stuff. And the DCU.

01:30:15
I'm really the DCU. I guess I'm really interested in

01:30:20
it. DC me?

01:30:21
You mean DC you? Yeah, so I I think it'll be fun.

01:30:26
I agree. All right, my #3 my number 3 is

01:30:31
Dune part Part 3. Dune is just the epicness and

01:30:41
the, and the scale of these movies are, are so, so high and

01:30:46
so good and just like #2 blew me out of the water.

01:30:52
Like I was not expecting. I, I, it's one of those things

01:30:55
where like, you know the story, you know what's happening if

01:30:57
you've seen any of the movies, if you've read the books, at

01:31:00
least at least the first, the first book and, and you know

01:31:04
where the story is going. And I just was not expecting it

01:31:08
to be as good as it was. You know what I mean?

01:31:11
Like it just, it was so well done and over the top.

01:31:15
And it's going to be interesting to see kind of that that that oh

01:31:19
God, I don't want to give spoilers.

01:31:20
Like I, I, I it's the turn. And and then she, she, do you

01:31:24
know what I mean when I say that?

01:31:25
Yeah. Right.

01:31:26
I do. Yeah, Yeah.

01:31:27
Yeah, it's, it's going to be interesting to see how he plays

01:31:29
that, you know, so I'm, I'm, I'm very excited for what we're

01:31:36
going to be getting with this film.

01:31:39
That's my number. Three.

01:31:41
All right. That's all three.

01:31:43
So let's get to twos #2 my #2. We've been talking about it

01:31:50
already. We've been talking about it all

01:31:52
last year, all this year so far. Doomsday.

01:31:57
Doom. Doom.

01:32:01
I mean, there's, I don't know if there's been more hype over a

01:32:05
movie ever. This movie is going to be.

01:32:09
I mean, maybe end game, but yeah.

01:32:12
OK, maybe end game. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:32:14
But I mean this is the. Wait for the ramp up dude

01:32:16
because they did this the way that they're doing this movie.

01:32:19
Like even even even End game wasn't promoting like you know

01:32:24
this hard a year before the movie.

01:32:26
Came out. No.

01:32:27
Yeah, OK. That's a good point.

01:32:29
That's a good point, yeah. I mean, there's everything

01:32:33
coming together in in Doomsday, getting all these teasers,

01:32:36
seeing everything we've known, not just from the MCU but the

01:32:42
X-Men and Fantastic Four and everything coming together is

01:32:46
going to be amazing and I'm super excited for it.

01:32:49
So. That's two.

01:32:52
But my number 2 is, well, it is Dune Part 3, but it's probably

01:32:58
going to be called Dune Messiah because that is, of course, the

01:33:01
second book. Yeah, I pretty much everything

01:33:05
Phil said, I'm really excited for to see where this is really.

01:33:10
I kind of agree with the whole thing that that Dune Deneven

01:33:15
news, Dune has kind of been this generation's Lord of the Rings

01:33:20
where it's this massive, massive kind of there.

01:33:25
It's event movies. It's this grand sweeping story.

01:33:31
And yeah, and it's so, it's so unique.

01:33:35
And we're going to get with Messiah some of the uniqueness

01:33:39
and some of the really be like, oh, that's why this is

01:33:44
different. That's why this is special.

01:33:45
That's why this is a different kind of story.

01:33:49
And so I'm really interested in, I am interested to see people's

01:33:52
reactions to how all of this eventually plays out.

01:33:57
So yeah, I think it'd be great. Right, young Phil, what do you

01:34:02
got for your number 2? For my #2 my number 2 is going

01:34:05
to be Supergirl. Yeah, Supergirl again, I'm kind

01:34:12
of beating a dead horse at this point, right?

01:34:14
But I mean, like, you know, it's everything about this movie from

01:34:20
kind of like the, the, the, the grand scale of it to even like

01:34:25
it. It's almost like homie.

01:34:27
At the same time, the action looks amazing.

01:34:30
The, the, the, the scene building, the, the

01:34:35
cinematography of it. It is.

01:34:37
There's so much different things that are so pretty to the eyes.

01:34:43
Not not even just to throw out that Millie Alcock looks amazing

01:34:47
as as Cara Zora. He is a dead fucking ringer for

01:34:51
how Supergirl looks and woman among.

01:34:52
Yeah, she, she looks just like her.

01:34:56
I, I, I I'm excited to see them tell that story.

01:35:00
The whole situation about like, why she goes to a planet with

01:35:03
the red sun, why she wants to get drunk because people think

01:35:07
she's being a lush. And it's like, well, no, you

01:35:09
don't know the story. So it's like.

01:35:12
There's a whole thing. There's a whole reason and it's

01:35:14
only at the beginning of the story because it's going to be,

01:35:17
it's going to turn out to be a big ass thing later on.

01:35:21
Again, you know, I just wanting to see this take on Lobo because

01:35:28
Jason Momoa as as Jason Momoa as Jason Momoa is fucking Lobo.

01:35:33
So seeing him play Lobo is going to be great, right?

01:35:36
I think I'm excited for that. So yeah, Supergirl is my #2.

01:35:41
Yeah. I like it, and Supergirl was my

01:35:45
#1 but I'm going to switch it out because we've all talked

01:35:48
about it. I'm going to say Moana.

01:35:50
Number one. Number one.

01:35:53
Cool live action Moana. I'm into it.

01:35:56
Have you guys seen the the? Transport.

01:35:58
I haven't. Seen the tracker if.

01:36:03
Moana shows up on Tracker. It's going to be amazing.

01:36:06
I, I knew, I knew Moana was going to be James's number one,

01:36:11
mainly because Dwayne Johnson and the way he looks as, as, as,

01:36:19
as Maui is like, Oh yeah, no, you're not 100%.

01:36:21
What can I say, except you're welcome.

01:36:23
Exactly. You're welcome.

01:36:25
That's I put it on my list. It's for today has been like a

01:36:28
Dwayne Johnson kind of day. You know what I drew on my way

01:36:31
to? Work today.

01:36:31
It has, you know, it's, it's been, it's been rocking.

01:36:35
You know what I'm saying? You know what I drank on my way

01:36:36
to work today, James? What'd you drink?

01:36:39
Throwback to the beginning to like the early episodes of our

01:36:43
show when we were trying to get sponsored by ZOA.

01:36:46
I drank a ZOA today. Oh, there you go.

01:36:49
See. Not sponsored.

01:36:51
Not sponsored. All comes.

01:36:53
It all comes back. Around All comes back.

01:36:55
Should do yeah, early. I was going to say.

01:36:57
Should do early in the show. If you ever go back and watch

01:37:00
the OR listen to the early shows, we reviewed every flavour

01:37:05
of Zoa that was out at the time, which means between the three of

01:37:08
us it was me James and it was Aaron Thicke.

01:37:12
Between the three of us we popped open every flavour of Zoa

01:37:17
and drank them all. We had so much caffeine in our

01:37:20
system, it was ridiculous. Between the three of us, we all

01:37:25
got diabetes. Yeah, and no, they're all 0

01:37:28
sugar. But I mean, like, you know, it

01:37:29
was funny because like all of us, all of us were sitting there

01:37:31
and was like, it smells like vitamins and bad regrets in

01:37:34
here. What did what was like?

01:37:35
This is terrible. Back to Moana.

01:37:40
I'm excited. My family and I are going to go

01:37:42
see it. My new thing is like seeing

01:37:45
movies with my family, but like more than that.

01:37:48
They invite their friends and then the cool, you know, the

01:37:51
cool parents that go with them. Not not all the parents are

01:37:54
cool, but like some parents that are cool come with and then it

01:37:58
becomes like a big like mini party or everybody's hanging

01:38:01
out. I kind of dig that so.

01:38:02
They invite all their friends and now we have to spend $750 at

01:38:05
the movie theater. Exactly.

01:38:09
Gabby your inflation. That was my number one.

01:38:12
She do what's your #1? My number one is Doom.

01:38:17
Doom. I mean, it's obvious.

01:38:23
Yeah. Everything that needs to be said

01:38:25
about this has been said. So yeah, I'm looking forward to

01:38:29
it. I think it'll be fun.

01:38:30
I'm interested in how they do, how they do Doom, how they do

01:38:35
Robert I do Doom. So agreed, my number one is

01:38:39
Doom. We're, we're all excited for

01:38:45
Doom. Doomsday is going to be great

01:38:48
again. The only thing I'll add on to

01:38:52
this, and it's something that I've said in the past, it 100%

01:38:55
seems like they are going the route of superior Iron Man,

01:38:59
which again, is a version of Doom, who was Tony Stark in

01:39:04
another universe. So I, I, I'm very excited to see

01:39:08
if they go that route. I'm also excited to see you if

01:39:12
at the end of this movie we get a reveal of who Victor Von Doom

01:39:16
is going to be moving forward, 'cause I don't think it should

01:39:18
be Robert Downey Junior for the entirety of everything.

01:39:22
Come on. Yeah, exactly.

01:39:24
Yeah, I love the idea of Robert Downey Junior bringing that in

01:39:29
and playing that version of superior Iron Man.

01:39:32
But I'm. I'm really hoping that God,

01:39:36
who's the actor? Everybody.

01:39:38
I can't remember his name either.

01:39:39
That's what I was trying to say. Come on.

01:39:41
And I couldn't remember his name.

01:39:44
Kelly Murphy. Yeah.

01:39:46
Killian Killian Murphy is my first choice always, but right

01:39:49
now a lot of people are pushing for.

01:39:53
I almost was going to say Scars guard, but he wasn't a Scars

01:39:56
guard. God, what was he was in?

01:40:01
Just have one doom dude. Why?

01:40:03
Why are you pushing for like another doom before we get the

01:40:05
first doom? You're you're ready on your

01:40:08
second doom. Well, because all of them are

01:40:10
doomed. They're doomed, very doomed.

01:40:13
No, the Matt Mickelson, So I know Matt Mickelson already

01:40:17
played, Yeah. Matt Mickelson already played

01:40:20
Caiselius. So it's kind of like there's

01:40:21
that. But again, yeah.

01:40:22
We're doing. The whole multiverse thing.

01:40:25
Robert or Junior already played Iron Man.

01:40:26
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. We're doing the whole multiverse

01:40:28
thing. So like moving forward, it would

01:40:31
be kind of cool that if if not Killian Murphy, who was always

01:40:36
my first choice, Matt Nicholson would make a really good Victor

01:40:39
Von Doom. So those those those are the two

01:40:42
people who I would love to do that unless they find like some

01:40:45
unknown and is like, Yep, no, he was great.

01:40:47
Perfect. Yeah, exactly.

01:40:48
That's what that's what they're doing with Brainiac.

01:40:50
So it's like I'm, I'm not going to, you know, have no faith in

01:40:55
them finding an actor that's going to play that.

01:40:57
But I, I wouldn't want Downey to play him.

01:41:00
Like moving forward, I would want Downey to do superior Iron

01:41:03
Man in this. And then we get a reveal of who

01:41:07
the 616 universes Victor von Doom is.

01:41:12
And we find out that Victor Von Doom has been playing in the

01:41:14
background the entire time. Yeah, it would be fun to kind of

01:41:19
get like an Agatha style reveal where it is like you see him in

01:41:23
the background of things. Yeah, 'cause that's what that's

01:41:25
what Victor does. Victor is the kind of guy that

01:41:27
runs everything in the background while you don't even

01:41:30
know what's happening. And he was supposed to be

01:41:32
originally revealed in Wakanda Forever, but they because that

01:41:37
that was confirmed that they filmed scenes of Doctor Doom, a

01:41:41
Doctor Doom reveal in at the end of that movie.

01:41:44
There's there's a random scene at the beginning of that movie

01:41:47
where a bunch of soldiers come in and they fight them.

01:41:49
And there's no explanation for the soldiers.

01:41:51
Those are supposed to be lap Varian soldiers.

01:41:55
And it was supposed to be a strike team that Victor sends in

01:41:58
to like, mess with people, so. Did they did they say who played

01:42:02
Doom at that point or was it just like.

01:42:04
No, they, they didn't say who it was.

01:42:05
So, and I'm, I'm sure they're, they're saving it because

01:42:08
they're like, OK, well, nobody knows about this.

01:42:09
Nobody's seen it, right? We're just, we're just going to

01:42:11
get this, yeah. We're saving this as the reveal

01:42:13
and at the end of Doomsday, I think we get that actor.

01:42:15
So oh. Yeah, I'm so excited for that.

01:42:18
Yeah, so, so excited for that. That's that's, that's it for

01:42:21
for, for my whole thing on this. So, James, all of your honorable

01:42:27
mentions, Yeah, I was going to say, all of your honorable

01:42:28
mentions. What do you got?

01:42:30
Well, I'll let you guys go first.

01:42:31
OK, So what do you got for honorable mentions?

01:42:34
My honor mentions are Project Hail Mary, That's the next Andy

01:42:37
Weir adaptation, That's my Martian.

01:42:39
Yeah, that's on my list, yeah. It's so I'm really excited.

01:42:43
Love everything that he's ever done.

01:42:45
Love that kind of hard sci-fi stuff too.

01:42:47
Love Ryan Gosling's in it. Obviously Brand new day.

01:42:50
We've mentioned that already, right?

01:42:51
They're doing the new Narnia is coming out as well, right?

01:42:56
They're doing an adaptation of Mujahs Nephew, which is

01:42:59
technically not the first book, but it's like the first

01:43:01
chronologically, right? Right, right.

01:43:02
I think that was like the that was like the 4th book wasn't.

01:43:06
It yeah it is like the 1st, 4th book, but it's technically the

01:43:09
whole origins like the creation story or whatever.

01:43:12
Like a prequel. Yeah.

01:43:14
Not really a Narnia person but it's more fantasy stuff and I'm

01:43:19
in SO. I wonder if it will connect to

01:43:24
the rest of the movies or if it's just like we're just going

01:43:29
to kind of start over and this is.

01:43:30
I do think it's probably a reboot.

01:43:32
That's that's what it seems like, but yeah.

01:43:36
Cool, young Phil, what do you got?

01:43:38
So I've got a couple of movies on here that I'm excited for.

01:43:42
So there's a movie coming out at the beginning of sometime this

01:43:48
year. It's called the RIP, right?

01:43:51
And this movie, it's not necessarily like a sci-fi thing

01:43:56
or anything like that, but like it's it's new Matt Damon, Ben

01:44:01
Affleck movie. It's going to be on Netflix.

01:44:03
It's another like Miami cop movie, yeah.

01:44:07
Oh, I did hear about that. Yeah, And it's about, you know,

01:44:10
the, the these cops discover a stash of like, money and they

01:44:16
kind of like become paranoid about it, right?

01:44:18
And they just kind of like, oh, who knows about this?

01:44:20
Who doesn't know about it? So that's that's a cool one

01:44:22
right there. Good luck.

01:44:24
Have fun. Don't die.

01:44:25
What? So good luck, have fun, don't

01:44:33
die. I was looking up movies and it

01:44:36
was one of those things that popped up and I was like, I

01:44:38
don't know what this is, but this looks fucking amazing.

01:44:41
It's a Gore Verbinski movie. OK, so Gore Verbinski, who did

01:44:46
Pirates of the Caribbean and everything like that.

01:44:48
It's starring Sam Rockwell. He's a time traveler from the

01:44:53
future who recruits a bunch of diner patrons to stop the AI

01:44:57
apocalypse. That's amazing.

01:45:00
Yeah, that's amazing. Yeah, that.

01:45:03
Sounds like an incredible movie. And they're saying that it's

01:45:07
basically going to be this year's Everything, All,

01:45:14
everything all at once. What was it?

01:45:15
Everything, Everywhere. All at once, Everything

01:45:17
Everywhere, all at once. Yeah.

01:45:18
So they're saying that this, that's going to be 2026, is

01:45:21
Everything Everywhere all at once.

01:45:23
All right. No, I'm I'm interested in it,

01:45:25
definitely. Yeah, they're saying it's like

01:45:26
that one of those sleeper movies that nobody like kind of knew

01:45:28
was coming out. Scream 7 is coming out this

01:45:30
year. So that's another big one.

01:45:32
Michael, which is the Michael Jackson biopic that's coming

01:45:35
out. James mentioned Disclosure Day,

01:45:38
so that's that's another big one.

01:45:40
Toy Story 5 is another big one. It's on my list.

01:45:43
Yeah, Moana is another big one. That's on my.

01:45:45
List James mentioned that Odyssey is on his list Spider

01:45:49
Man brand new day now here's one that nobody mentioned Zach

01:45:51
Krager's Resident Evil comes out this year again.

01:45:56
I I at this point trust everything Zach Cregger does

01:46:00
weapons was amazing the Barb I went back and watched the

01:46:03
barbarian the barbarian is a really good movie.

01:46:05
So Zach Cregger, I feel like he understands these horror beats

01:46:09
where you can build tension and and have like these kind of

01:46:13
weird things that happened that Resident Evil is known for.

01:46:15
So I'm interested to see what he does with Resident Evil.

01:46:18
Fokker in law Fokker in law is another one I'm excited for

01:46:24
because I, I, I, I love the Focker movies, right?

01:46:30
Like, you know, meet the parents, meet the Fockers, all

01:46:32
those movies. Was it a Focker, Focker kids or

01:46:36
something like that? What was the baby?

01:46:38
Oh no, baby Focker. It was baby Focker And, and now

01:46:43
it's Focker in law is the new one.

01:46:44
I guess the kids are grown up and they're getting married.

01:46:47
So it's basically like, you know, meet the parents, but the

01:46:49
next generation kind of thing. And then of course those.

01:46:53
Are fun movies. Right, the last one I have on

01:46:55
the list is project Hail Mary, which we just mentioned right

01:46:57
now. Again, just love the idea of

01:47:00
getting a new sci-fi thing that's that's on the the horizon

01:47:04
for us. So that is it for me.

01:47:07
Oh, and there's, I like that there's two on the end of

01:47:09
James's list. I'm going to let him mention

01:47:10
those. But the two on the end of

01:47:12
James's list that I forgot were coming out this year and I'm

01:47:14
excited for those two. So I'm going to, I'm not going

01:47:16
to steal your Thunder. You do that dude.

01:47:17
You're already trying to steal it, but Speaking of stealing

01:47:20
Thunder, everything that you guys mentioned are also on my

01:47:22
lists. So Thunder stolen, but then the

01:47:26
ones you all forgot are 28 days later.

01:47:29
Bone Temple, Come on now. Supposed to be great.

01:47:32
I didn't see the last one, but everybody's talking about how

01:47:34
good this one is so. Yeah, I I did watch the 28 years

01:47:39
later and it was fun. I liked it.

01:47:43
It was different. It wasn't the story, but it was

01:47:47
interesting being in the universe again and I enjoyed it.

01:47:53
But then the two you were mentioning Clayface.

01:47:57
Is coming out. I forgot about that one.

01:47:59
I'm so impressed how fast they, they got this, you know, planned

01:48:04
out and into theaters because it feels like just a couple months

01:48:08
ago we were talking about it as like a concept.

01:48:10
Now it's like, I think it's done filming.

01:48:13
And it's in post. They finished principal already.

01:48:16
So it's going to be, it's going to be dope.

01:48:17
Yeah. So I'm excited.

01:48:18
I'm excited to see what they do with that.

01:48:20
And that's just going to be another spin on what they do

01:48:23
with the DCU, but then kind of a new IP, but a revitalization of

01:48:31
an older IP, Masters of the Universe.

01:48:34
So excited. Oh yeah, Can they?

01:48:37
Can they get it right? Right.

01:48:39
You know. Right, so far looks good.

01:48:42
I'm, I'm, I'm waiting for a trailer at least so I can kind

01:48:44
of see, see everything 'cause they've had like these, these,

01:48:48
you know, announcement and promo photos.

01:48:49
I'm waiting for the trailer to see like does do they capture,

01:48:52
do they capture the feeling? You know what I mean?

01:48:55
Yeah, exactly, exactly like. Do they capture the power?

01:49:00
Do they have the power? You have the power.

01:49:03
We've had, we've gone through all like, you know, Transformers

01:49:07
and Star Wars and all these like 80s cartoons and toys like, and

01:49:14
they've been successful positioned into Masters of the

01:49:19
universe and make it successful in 2026.

01:49:23
I'm interested to see. I want to see because it's

01:49:26
something I grew up on, but can it translate into something

01:49:29
refreshed and something that works in 2026?

01:49:31
Right. All right, that's it for for the

01:49:35
movies. So we we didn't even do the

01:49:39
transitions between these. So we have talked TV and mumbled

01:49:44
about movies. But now it's time to give our

01:49:46
spiciest hot takes. And so here are wild

01:49:53
predictions, crazy theories and dastardly divinations for the

01:49:56
media of 2026. Yeah, I'm going to go first here

01:50:04
and then we'll do Phil. So.

01:50:06
All right, so these are in no particular order, really.

01:50:12
And they're. Yeah.

01:50:14
And I, I kind of alluded to this one.

01:50:17
The the Van Loring Grogu won't actually be that good.

01:50:20
Oh, you fuck I, you little Fi. I feel like this is not going to

01:50:30
be a very good movie. I well, OK, I shouldn't say very

01:50:33
good. I think it's going to be average

01:50:38
because it's Star Wars. But I what all the shit that has

01:50:44
happened with this movie where this is originally supposed to

01:50:47
be season 4 of Mando, Season 4, Season 3, It was season 4,

01:50:54
right? Season 4.

01:50:55
Yeah. So yeah, it was supposed to be

01:50:57
season 4 of Mando, and then it was that whole command drum on

01:51:02
high. We're going to, we have to make

01:51:05
this into a movie. I feel like it's not going to be

01:51:09
good because it was originally supposed to be ATV series, and I

01:51:14
just don't know if they're going to be able to wrap everything up

01:51:18
in a satisfying manner that doesn't just feel like a speed

01:51:23
run of ATV season. I really want to be proven

01:51:29
wrong, but I I just have my doubts.

01:51:34
So all right then, James? First of all, how dare you?

01:51:42
Because. Again, these are hot takes for a

01:51:44
reason. It's very.

01:51:45
Hot, very spicy. Yeah, but.

01:51:48
Honestly, I kind of, I kind of see where you're coming from and

01:51:52
the shoehorn Ness of it all is is making me a little scary.

01:51:56
But I do have faith in Filoni, so we'll we'll see what happens.

01:52:00
I do have. I want to be proven wrong.

01:52:02
Exactly. I do have a Mando.

01:52:05
It's not the hottest take, but we're going to get the Rebels

01:52:09
reunion that we've been looking for in the Mandu, Mando Grogu

01:52:14
movie. So we're going to see Ezra come

01:52:18
together with Zeb and everybody else and oh, you know what's her

01:52:24
name? Harrah's right there as well.

01:52:25
So I think we're going to get that reunion in the movie.

01:52:30
And then we have a big ass wolf come in at some point.

01:52:33
Yeah, yes. There will be a wolf.

01:52:37
I. Don't know it's.

01:52:40
Going to be a fucking on the ground.

01:52:41
It's just going to be a random wolf.

01:52:43
It's going to be a shit ton of loaf cats everywhere.

01:52:45
Yeah, right. It'll be great.

01:52:48
All right. Young Phil, you got a hot take.

01:52:50
That's my hot take. There's going to be fucking loaf

01:52:52
cats everywhere. Like there's going to be just

01:52:54
going to walk into a room and it's just going to be like

01:52:56
you're going to be, you're not going to be able to see the

01:52:57
floor. You're just going to be seating

01:52:58
nothing but loaf clats everywhere.

01:53:01
A Loaf Cat Cafe. There you go.

01:53:05
There you go. Yeah, A.

01:53:06
Loaf, Cat Cantina. Loaf, Cat.

01:53:08
Cantina, Phil Phil, do you have anything?

01:53:10
Or no, I I don't actually have any hot takes because I didn't

01:53:12
really think about that's cool. All right, here's the I I got a

01:53:16
hot take that'll make Philippe man.

01:53:18
Oh God. Can I throw it out?

01:53:20
Let me throw it out. OK, go for.

01:53:24
It Dune will not be #1 at the box office at all.

01:53:28
That's, that's, that's not going to, that's not, that's not angry

01:53:30
at all. Because I I think that doomsday

01:53:32
is going to end up overtaking that hard.

01:53:34
Oh yeah, definitely. Yeah, I think it's going to do

01:53:37
well. I think it's going to do well,

01:53:39
but I think it's going to be at a hard 2.

01:53:41
Exactly, it's going to be the highest grossing 2 ever.

01:53:44
Yeah, highest grossing #2 movie ever.

01:53:48
Right. That actually kind of is a hot

01:53:50
take. Like what is the highest

01:53:51
grossing movie that never went #1 and it could be Dune.

01:53:56
Could could be Dune. So my well, then I'll do my my

01:54:02
1. So Avengers doomsday.

01:54:04
I think this is my like really optimistic one.

01:54:08
What a really optimistic take will like revitalize the MCU.

01:54:14
It's because it's the whole there's been this whole

01:54:17
narrative of the MCU is dying, the MCU is falling apart.

01:54:20
It's all you know or whatever. I feel like with this, it's

01:54:26
going to be this big combination and maybe kind of a reset.

01:54:29
I hope it's not a complete reset, but this this big, even

01:54:34
bigger than than in game that this is going to completely, you

01:54:40
know, revitalize everything that people are going to be excited

01:54:43
about the MCU again. We're going to have, you know,

01:54:46
different stories and better stories and things.

01:54:49
So I, I really think that it will will be good.

01:54:53
I think it'll be good for the MCU.

01:54:55
I think it will revitalize everything.

01:54:56
Actually, I, I do have AI do have a hot take for, for for all

01:54:59
of the the fans of our show here.

01:55:02
All right here, here's a hot take for everybody.

01:55:07
We're still not going to find out why Thor was crying over

01:55:09
Deadpool. Oh no, no, no, no, of course

01:55:12
not. Why do you start crying over?

01:55:18
Me, God, I'm I'm looking at I'm looking at Chris Chipperson in

01:55:24
the chat. He's got some good ones.

01:55:26
Sam Rockwell signing the fuck up.

01:55:28
But also, can you milk me so good?

01:55:34
Bone Temple is what I used to call my ex Chris.

01:55:37
Chris Chipperson is getting it right now.

01:55:40
He he never disappoints, never, never disappointed.

01:55:44
Especially like when if you if you ever watch Chris Chipperson

01:55:47
in the in the comicbook.com com book nation chat that that dude

01:55:50
drops the best zingers. It is the greatest.

01:55:54
Honestly, like on a Friday morning, I try to keep up with

01:55:57
him and I just can't. He's so good at at the one

01:55:59
liners in the chat. It's impressive.

01:56:04
All right, Shadu, do you have any more hot takes?

01:56:06
Because I only have those two. Oh, OK.

01:56:08
I'll just go through the West of my OK, so that House of Dragons

01:56:12
season 2 will not actually come out this year.

01:56:14
It's going to come out next year probably.

01:56:17
I'm I'm not really going to elaborate on that.

01:56:21
Just I feel like that's just going to happen.

01:56:23
I don't think it's ready yet. Supergirl.

01:56:27
This is kind of a self fulfilling prophecy.

01:56:28
Supergirl is going to make a bunch of people mad, yes.

01:56:32
I mean, obviously the works Golds because they're always

01:56:35
mad. But I think that people are

01:56:39
going to be mad about this version of Supergirl too.

01:56:42
They already are. And people are going to be like,

01:56:45
that's not Supergirl, that's not whatever.

01:56:48
This is not what that's supposed to feel like.

01:56:50
So I feel like it's going to make a lot of people mad.

01:56:53
And then the last one, of course, is a prediction hot take

01:56:57
that I'd really like to to come true this year.

01:57:01
And is that the distance starting YouTube channel here

01:57:04
will reach 1000 subscribers? 1000 Here we go, and.

01:57:08
We're trying to do that by June. Yeah.

01:57:13
We're trying to do that sooner. Yeah, we're, we're trying to do

01:57:16
that by like next month. Yeah.

01:57:19
All right. Well, of course, next week we

01:57:22
will return to the full, rarely scheduled nerdy news.

01:57:28
But of course, before then, we do have one more little segment.

01:57:32

01:57:37

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back to the show.

01:58:30
Our friends, your friends. They are hilarious when they get

01:58:34

01:58:41
What do you mean we're hilarious?

01:58:46
That is an inside joke so that everybody that who doesn't know

01:58:49

01:58:58
people to my house then? Yeah, absolutely I am.

01:59:01
So tell us about SAC anime. So.

01:59:04
So their address is no. House isn't that big.

01:59:10
OK, So yeah, I happen to have been there all three days.

01:59:15
Nice, because there was a change up in the fashion show.

01:59:21
It's normally on Fridays. It was on Sunday this time, but

01:59:24
we were still told to come get our tickets on Friday.

01:59:27
So I was there all three days and I was hanging out with a lot

01:59:32
of my cosplay friends. And Grumpy Cookies, which is a

01:59:37
feature designer in the fashion show, which I keep modeling for

01:59:41
because they love me so much. They keep pulling me back in.

01:59:46
We saw all kinds of cool cosplays, vendors.

01:59:52
We didn't get to any panels because Bruce was a little

01:59:55
bored. He's like, I don't want to sit

01:59:56
here. So I was like, OK, fine, let's

01:59:58
go eat. I did 1 panel.

02:00:02
Oh yeah, Jeff did. I wasn't there.

02:00:04
It was the voice of Goofy and the voice of Mickey Mouse.

02:00:09
Nice. That's awesome.

02:00:10
Brett Iwin. Brett Iwin Brett Iwin Funny

02:00:14
enough guys is from Rocklin, so. Well.

02:00:17
That's the that's the voice of Mickey, correct?

02:00:20
Voice of Mickey, correct? Apparently you also own the

02:00:22
steam engine, so found out that during the panel.

02:00:30
Awesome guys. Any any any big cosplay friends

02:00:33
that we that we have? I saw Brandon Boykins cosplay

02:00:38
there in one of those pictures there.

02:00:40
Yeah, we obviously ran into Boykins, we ran into Misha.

02:00:44
I ran into her all three days. There she is right now is Jack

02:00:48
and that's Boykins girlfriend is Sally.

02:00:50
So I had to portray Jack and Sally's fan fiction daughter

02:00:55
Judy Skellington. So if you're watching right now

02:01:00
on YouTube, you'll see the photo and see the I am Judy

02:01:05
Skellington in that picture there.

02:01:07
Nice. And then there was Joe was in

02:01:11
was Olaf just a minute ago. I, I, I saw that.

02:01:14
Yeah, yeah. Tell us about the Geek fashion

02:01:18
Show. That looks pretty fun.

02:01:20
It looks like it was. Did it take place in the

02:01:22
Convention Center or was it over at Memorial?

02:01:25
It was in memorial and for me, on my end, being in the show, it

02:01:32
was kind of the same thing where it was really fun.

02:01:34
I got to hang out with a lot of my other friends that are models

02:01:38
and cosplayers as well and hanging out with the Grumpy

02:01:42
cookies like I tend to because they just fell in love with us

02:01:46
when we first met them and they keep asking me to model for

02:01:49
them. And this is the first time Jeff

02:01:52
and Bruce actually saw the show, so I got here his perspective of

02:01:59
it from being in the audience. I was dying because I was

02:02:03
filming the entire time. So I was trying to sit.

02:02:06
Still with and hold a camera with no tripod, so it's slowly

02:02:11
dying because that's what photography is.

02:02:15
Is dying to get the shot. Did you just, well, it's kind of

02:02:18
like welding. No, that's just that's very

02:02:21
through. Everything.

02:02:22
Very, very true, yes. Air through everything, deal

02:02:26
with it. You can recover later.

02:02:29
But wasn't in this video Here is that footage that OK?

02:02:34
So when again, if you're watching it in our little reel,

02:02:38
if when you see the the fashion group walk on the stage waving,

02:02:44
our 10 year old filmed that. I just cut the last chunk of it

02:02:47
off there because he started filming the floor.

02:02:50
Yeah, I did see that bit where at the end where he kind of like

02:02:53
lost his ability to hold the phone.

02:02:58
So how many, how many models were there?

02:03:01
How many designers were were involved?

02:03:06
It looks pretty like it's growing every year.

02:03:08
It is, and we're constantly getting new models, new

02:03:12
designers, because they want to showcase different people on all

02:03:14
of their different looks and things like that and expand it

02:03:19
more. So there was like 5 different

02:03:21
designers and every designer had eight to 10 models.

02:03:27
Some models did double up for some for whichever reasons.

02:03:32
I someone backed out last minute because I do know we had some

02:03:36
people that are based in Reno and they couldn't come over the

02:03:39
past because there was a storm. So things had to get moved

02:03:43
around and stuff for situations like that.

02:03:47
Interesting. And it so it took place Saturday

02:03:50
night. Sunday night, Sunday night out a

02:03:53
weekend. That's cool.

02:03:55
I do like how second does like evening stuff because I know

02:04:00
sometimes they do like after parties or like like K pop

02:04:05
concerts and and like dance parties and stuff like that.

02:04:08
So I do like the how they take the geek fashion show and put it

02:04:12
as like an an evening thing. So it's like an extra bonus to

02:04:16
the show. So it's like you get to enjoy

02:04:18
the entire show and get to go to the geek fashion show and not

02:04:23
have feel like you're missing something during your con

02:04:26
experience. So I do dig that.

02:04:29
Yeah, it is really cool how they do that.

02:04:31
And with all the extra stuff, some things they've that were in

02:04:35
the evening, they are trying because that's why they're

02:04:36
making expanding and making more space to have some of those

02:04:40
things during the daytime as well.

02:04:43
Like some of the not the yeah, the dance parties like the K pop

02:04:47
dance and the karaoke stuff that's more during the day.

02:04:51
But the raves and stuff I had those are still in the evening

02:04:54
time after the vendor hall closes typically do.

02:04:58
You believe on one of the days they because they had two of the

02:05:01
K pop Demon Hunter girls there? Do you believe they have a like

02:05:04
mini concert thing because they had two of the girls and one of

02:05:07
the Sanji boys? That's awesome.

02:05:10
That's. Cool.

02:05:13
I take that, I take that and I'm looking at the pictures and

02:05:15
seeing the exhibit floor. They did a good job of spacing

02:05:19
things out. I know there's been a few times

02:05:21
where the the exhibit floor was a little bit packed when when

02:05:26
everybody started to come in. So it looks like there was a lot

02:05:29
of room in between the the vendor aisles.

02:05:33
So that's cool. That's good.

02:05:35
Good job listening to everybody sack anime.

02:05:37
Yeah. So this year, this show and the

02:05:40
last show, they had moved all of the autograph section upstairs

02:05:48
to what used to be the mainstage area, and that just opened up

02:05:52
more. And then they moved the video

02:05:54
games off over to Memorial Auditorium as well, which gives

02:05:58
them more room. For.

02:06:00
They turn that whole area into vendors now.

02:06:04
Oh, that's awesome. That means there's a.

02:06:07
Lot more vendors. Yeah, a lot more vendors on the

02:06:09
show floor. Now that whole era that used to

02:06:11
be celebrity is all artist alley now.

02:06:14
Oh. Thanks.

02:06:16
Very cool, very cool. I imagine there's like a whole

02:06:19
lot more artists that are there now be since they've like opened

02:06:22
that area because that area was massive where where they had all

02:06:25
the celebrities before. So I mean, I'm sure they moved

02:06:29
everybody who was upstairs back down to the show floor, but

02:06:31
there's also a lot more room up there now, like like in that

02:06:35
area. They still they still have the

02:06:39
special guest people like Odin is still upstairs.

02:06:43
D Squad D. Squad was still up there, and

02:06:46
they're still in that hallway where they always are.

02:06:48
OK, in front of the ballroom. Nice.

02:06:52
And then they also added a 18 plus section upstairs.

02:06:57
Oh. 18 plus adults only. Where you go buy yourself a

02:07:05
giant Wiener pillow. Oh God.

02:07:08
That's amazing. That's amazing.

02:07:16
Sounds pretty pretty ridiculous there re ridiculous.

02:07:26
Stop being so cocky. Oh God, so so bad.

02:07:34
Are we, are we cancelled yet? Are we?

02:07:36
Are we getting cancelled? Well, no, no, we're we're not on

02:07:39
we're not on TikTok this time. So we're we're we're fine.

02:07:41
I. Mean like when I say are we

02:07:43
getting cancelled, I mean by like, you know, everything else

02:07:46
in the world, we've been cancelled by Belarus for years.

02:07:51
Oh yeah. Belarus stopped liking us a long

02:07:55
time ago. But is it to the point that they

02:07:58
even remember? Why?

02:07:59
Well. I mean, you know.

02:08:03
Yeah, I don't, I don't think, I don't think so.

02:08:04
I don't think they were. It's.

02:08:05
Because we were the number one podcast in Belarus when they

02:08:08
got. Upset.

02:08:08
I think I'm OK with being banned at Belarus, actually.

02:08:11
It's it's, you know, it's. Ban Belarus.

02:08:15
Ban, Ban Belarus. Ban, ban, ban to Belarus.

02:08:19
Anything anything else from SAC anime that we didn't cover like

02:08:22
anything, any experiences or like situations that stand out

02:08:27
meeting people or seeing celebs or meeting artists or or

02:08:32
interacting with all your friends and.

02:08:35
Well, I mean, I, I, I, I books Dragon's Child is going to be on

02:08:40
our show, our new show that we're doing on that this coming

02:08:43
Monday, and she's going to be showing us how to make.

02:08:47
Puppets. Nice.

02:08:48
Tell us about this new show. So the new show is going to be

02:08:53
our show where we bring on guests and have them do

02:08:57
tutorials on how to do different processes, whether it's sewing

02:09:01
or clay or whatever it is, whatever they work with showing

02:09:05
so that I can gain skills and everyone else can gain skills.

02:09:09
And before the show, we're already going to have put out a

02:09:14
material list, so if you want, you can actually follow along

02:09:17
and do it with them. Oh.

02:09:19
That's cool, that's awesome. That's a great idea.

02:09:21
That's a great idea. I love that because it cosplay

02:09:26
gets gets so many specialties. Like when I saw you guys, I

02:09:30
forgot what con we were at, but you guys were nerding out about

02:09:32
foam and there was one foam vendor that was like giving you

02:09:35
guys like foam things to work with.

02:09:39
Foam Smith. Yeah, that was over at

02:09:42
Meadowlark Comic Con. That was Meadowlark Comic Con.

02:09:44
Yeah. I thought it was.

02:09:46
I thought they were called foam. Foam forge I feel like.

02:09:49
I'm, I think it was foam forge. Yeah, yeah.

02:09:52
But I, I think that's really cool how there's cosplay, but

02:09:55
cosplay has so many like niches and pieces to it.

02:09:59
And you know, like it's not just about wearing your your cosplay,

02:10:03
but it's also about like how you build it and what you build it

02:10:06
with and becoming a expert in, in certain little things and

02:10:10
sharing that with others and learning from others.

02:10:13
So I think that's really cool. Yeah.

02:10:15
Yeah. Yeah, I I was right.

02:10:17
Foam Forge. Yep, it was foam forge.

02:10:21
So yes, guys, we, we've had a whole, whole bunch of fun here

02:10:24
and that was that's amazing. I, I, I love anytime you guys

02:10:28
come on and talk about the cons and things that especially, you

02:10:30
know, either whether we're there or not, it's always, it's always

02:10:33
good to hear about these cons. So guys stick around.

02:16:33
our shirts. But the first thing you got to

02:16:35
do is get us to 600 subscribers, so 600 subscribers on YouTube

02:16:39
and, and, and we will continue on there.

02:16:42
Well guys, let's do this here. We need to talk pluggables.

02:16:47
So I need everyone who does stuff outside of distance

02:16:50
dirtying to plug themselves here on the show.

02:16:53
And I did not mean that in a dirty way.

02:16:56

02:16:58
OK guys, so we are back to our normal Wednesday schedule.

02:17:03

02:17:08
show. And then every other Monday

02:17:11
starting this coming Monday, we will be having someone on and

02:17:15
that is going to be called How did you make that and that'll

02:17:19
also be on at 6:00. We're also on the road to 200

02:17:25
guys. If you subscribe to distance

02:17:27
starting, go over and describe subscribe to us because once we

02:17:31
reach 200 we will be giving away stuff too.

02:17:34

02:17:38
like to buy affection. There we go, there we go.

02:17:41
Because we are just here to buy your affection.

02:17:43
So guys, let me buy your love, all right?

02:17:46

02:17:49
love, no I have SSU studios on YouTube and Instagram.

That includes Elder Scrolls content, TTRPG videos, the lore

02:18:00
