⭐ Episode Summary
Welcome to Chapter 250, where the tech glitches are strong, the jokes are chaotic, and the nerding is Olympic-level. This week, the crew dives deep into the MCU rumor multiverse, Doctor Strange 3 theories, Wonder Man meta-casting, Yelena’s leadership glow-up, Shang-Chi’s future, Sadie Sink’s mysterious MCU arrival, the Russo Bros. possible return, and the chef’s-kiss hype around Daredevil, Werewolf by Night 2, and Clayface.
Then we climb the Watchtower for DC updates: Brainiac invading Man of Tomorrow, Rick Flag Sr. being in every project ever created by James Gunn, and the growing hype for Doctor Fate’s possible return.
Finally, we warp into Star Wars territory, rant about The Mandalorian’s new heroic arc, and debate whether Grogu is becoming too powerful (he probably is). Chaos, jokes, and nerd debates are fully leveled up.

00:04:54
So I don't know if I'm on time out if I've had subscriptions
00:04:59

00:05:02
You know I. Feel.
00:05:03
I feel attacked. You know why?
00:05:05
Because because you are being attacked.
00:05:06
That's that's exactly. How it is that is is an accurate
00:05:10
assessment of events? Yes.
00:05:13
Well, ladies and gentlemen, we we have introduced all the
00:05:16
sponsors and everything going on there, but it is now time for us
00:05:21
to get into the to the meat of the show.
00:05:23
We got a lot to talk about tonight.
00:05:24
Ladies and gentlemen, let's get into the download.
00:05:35
All right, let's get into what are we doing first.
00:05:37
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're gonna do the Are we doing
00:05:40
the the straight from Jay Jonah? I like it.
00:05:44
Let's. Go let's let's get all of our
00:05:45
headlines from straight from Jay Jonah Jameson himself.
00:05:48
It's straight from. Things are about to get Strange.
00:05:52
Doctor Strange 3 is reportedly in early development, and
00:05:55
Benedict Cumberbatch already has a director in mind.
00:05:59
So let's talk about this. I haven't really, you know, we
00:06:03
didn't hear about anything about Doctor Strange 3 and it, you
00:06:08
know, they said, oh, it's going to be after Secret Wars.
00:06:11
But now there's this the rumor going around that the Doctor
00:06:15
Strange Three may be getting getting a green light.
00:06:19
And yeah, things about to get Strange up in here.
00:06:22
What else? What do y'all think James?
00:06:25
I think this is gonna happen because 1 better than Benedict
00:06:30
Cumberbatch is still willing to come back and he still feels
00:06:33
fresh, even though it's kind of he's not one of the original
00:06:36
Avengers, but he's a key player in The Avengers lore.
00:06:41
I think they're going to bring him back.
00:06:42
I don't think we're going to get Charlize Theron and in that
00:06:46
whole storyline of different dimensions, but I think they
00:06:50
they see him, they're like, you know, he's somebody that could
00:06:54
bring people into theaters. I think they're going to have
00:06:58
Doctor Strange come back. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:07:00
I don't know. I agree.
00:07:01
You guys. So yeah, go.
00:07:04
I I I believe the same thing. Oh, go.
00:07:06
I didn't really have much to say.
00:07:08
Cool. Sounds good.
00:07:09
It's probably gonna happen. And I know I, I hope they follow
00:07:15
up on the cliffhanger from from 2:00.
00:07:16
But we'll see, Phil. All right, Phil, you're up.
00:07:19
So 100% I'm I'm, I, I think that they are working in this coming
00:07:24
sheet. Yeah, seeing that Sam Mendy can
00:07:28
yet. I mean, I just went
00:07:30
revolutionary inspector. The only thing is.
00:07:33
I was gonna bring up that Sam Mendes was the director that
00:07:37
Benedict Cumberbatch. That was the next talking .0.
00:07:40
Thanks for dropping that guy. Sorry, I did jump the gun on
00:07:42
that, but I mean with with all of that and and again, he he's
00:07:47
got a lot of good action sensibility when it comes to
00:07:51
like raw action, not like action movie action good raw action.
00:07:55
The thing with thing that I kind of not worry about.
00:07:59
I'm not worried that I'm iffy about it him when it do Doctor
00:08:05
Strange. So kind of one that also my last
00:08:09
point here, if he doesn't say hoary host of Hoggath in this
00:08:14
God damn movie I'm writing. You know, that is a good point I
00:08:19
forgot about. Like who was it Sam Raimi that
00:08:22
did the last one? And there was a horror aspect to
00:08:25
it, you know, with Scarlet Witch and everything.
00:08:27
I I kind of like that. Like it's some, it's something
00:08:31
different for Marvel. So I kind of dug.
00:08:33
That did a did a Sam also direct the first one or Sam no good
00:08:39
because we have Sam Raimi, Sam Mendez.
00:08:42
Oh, Oh, you wanted you want to have the Sam verse?
00:08:45
Yeah, is what you want the Sam verse?
00:08:48
No. No, Scott Derrickson.
00:08:50
Scott Derrickson was the director.
00:08:52
From the all s s though. Yeah, all s s, but Scott
00:08:56
Derrickson also comes horror. So that's the thing, is Scott
00:08:59
Derrickson, Sam Raimi. Yeah.
00:09:02
So Sam Mendes is a little bit of a break, but he asked.
00:09:05
He is a good director. Well, so Marvel hasn't confirmed
00:09:09
anything yet, so this is strictly A rumour, but it could
00:09:14
set up like more context of what how Strange appears in Secret
00:09:19
Wars, you know, because we're all assuming like maybe it he's
00:09:22
a variant or whatever if they're not tying up his story before
00:09:27
the movie, but we don't know. I mean it, who knows, who knows
00:09:31
what it could be, but I'm just saying that that there's no
00:09:34
confirmation. But I do think that I want it to
00:09:36
happen. I do think we need a third one
00:09:38
because that is something Doctor Strange deserves an addition
00:09:43
because he kind of opened the door to the multiverse, right?
00:09:46
And so he got to close those four stacks.
00:09:48
We need that movie where he closes those four, those puppies
00:09:51
back up. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:09:54
So. The next one is you can't have a
00:09:58
show set in Hollywood without Medicat.
00:10:02
New rumor claims Frozen star Josh Gad will appear as the
00:10:07
spells in Marvel's upcoming Wonder Man series, adding a
00:10:10
spherical edge to the ends. I mean, about the inner workings
00:10:16
of Hollywood. I wouldn't, I kind of would
00:10:18
accept this. And they're probably going to
00:10:21
want people already on the payroll.
00:10:22
So Josh Gad is a is a kind of a no brainer for that Disney.
00:10:28
The release date for Wonder Man on Disney Plus is January 27th,
00:10:32
2026. That's coming up like a month
00:10:35
and a half. And Gad and they say Gad plays
00:10:39
an extremely famous version of himself, complete with musical
00:10:44
moments. We get musical Wonder Man y'all.
00:10:49
I love it. This is great.
00:10:50
I'm yeah, this this is definitely something that will
00:10:52
happen because they would do that.
00:10:55
Yeah. No, it's you know, it makes
00:10:58
sense with the whole, the theming of it and it's it is
00:11:01
already kind of a meta take on it.
00:11:03
So I'm really I'm, I'm, I'm liking that.
00:11:06
Yeah. You know, it's that same kind
00:11:07
of, you know, it's a different kind of meta than we've had like
00:11:10
with She Hulk or whatever it, it is interesting to see what what
00:11:14
superhero media and a superhero world is going to be like.
00:11:19
And putting Josh Gad in the movie or in the series, I should
00:11:23
say, would just kind of blur the lines, you know, of like what's
00:11:27
real, what's not real, you know, wait, that's Olaf.
00:11:31
But he's you know what kind of grace or.
00:11:33
Frozen in in the MC in like exactly yeah.
00:11:37
Exactly. Yeah, So like Disney and and
00:11:40
Frozen exist within the the Marvel Universe and that would
00:11:45
just be very meta. So.
00:11:47
And when we finally get Iceman, will he sing Let it Go?
00:11:51
There you go. So no, I still want one of the
00:11:55
things I was thinking about as well is the studio, the studio
00:12:01
comparisons, the show, the studio from Apple.
00:12:03
Is that like, you know, they had a lot of like they had actual
00:12:06
people playing themselves to director writers, like all sorts
00:12:11
of people, like Ron Howard was in it for goodness sake.
00:12:13
But so it it's not like it not being done right now.
00:12:17
I just think it's really like really interesting and cool that
00:12:21
they're doing it in an MCU show. Like not it's it seems a little
00:12:26
too subtle for them. If you get my trip.
00:12:31
So they also described like that Simon Williams is an actor
00:12:36
pulled into superhero K Hey hos, hey hos.
00:12:40
OK. Yeah, And like, I like the
00:12:46
whole, like, you know, oh, meta, you know, are we gonna get like
00:12:49
nepo baby, you know, and what's a nepo baby in the MCU now?
00:12:53
I'm really in the weeds in this. And so I think we should move.
00:12:57
On, we'll move on. Anybody else has something to
00:12:59
say? I, I do, I do have to say, like,
00:13:02
if, if Josh Gan's gonna play like an extreme version of
00:13:07
himself, I could see him being like, I'm going to play the Hulk
00:13:11
or something like that, or I'm going to play Thor, you know, in
00:13:14
the Marvel movie about Marvel superheroes.
00:13:19
I I just watched. Oh yeah.
00:13:21
Josh Gad is in that. Oh, did not realize that Josh
00:13:25
Gad. Yeah, yeah, He's in Avenue 5
00:13:28
from HBO and he plays like the owner.
00:13:31
And I'm like, I could totally see that character being his
00:13:35
Josh Gad for For Wonder Man. So it's an interesting thing.
00:13:41
So, yeah, but let's move on because I think should you
00:13:44
really want to look at this picture, Yelena leads and Shang
00:13:48
Chi just might follow her Chow chow.
00:13:54
Lawrence, Hugh and Steve. Hulu describe Avengers Doomsday
00:13:59
as a surreal Star Pack MCU crossover, while Elizabeth Olsen
00:14:04
insists she has no idea when Scarlet Witch could return.
00:14:08
So some of the talking points on these two things.
00:14:11
So the release date for Avengers Doomsday is just for 18th of
00:14:16
2020, sixth. So a little over a year away,
00:14:20
but coming up, Florence Hughes, Elena Bilova reportedly steps
00:14:24
into a leadership role alongside other heroes.
00:14:28
So I think that's a really interesting thing.
00:14:30
And and we know that we're probably going to get her in
00:14:32
Spider Man Brand New Day as well before.
00:14:35
So we'll see that. Maybe that's where it'll start.
00:14:40
Dimu Liu calls the film a dream come true and a love letter to
00:14:45
superhero movies. So that that's that's some big,
00:14:48
big shoes to fill there. So I I don't know if that's
00:14:51
going to be a thing, But you know, Dimu is a little he's just
00:14:56
he's he's naive. He's a.
00:14:57
Little dramatic. For it.
00:14:59
How dare you, He's so positive. Poor guy.
00:15:03
No, but you know what this tells me?
00:15:05
It tells me that they're going to share screen time together.
00:15:08
They're on set together, you know, filming at the same time.
00:15:11
So, you know, we talked about the two different Avengers
00:15:16
teams. There's the the Dark Avengers,
00:15:19
New Avengers that is led by Elena Bolova.
00:15:22
Then there's the whole Sam Wilson Avengers that are getting
00:15:25
put together and we didn't know where to put Shang Chi Like he
00:15:29
could be kind of caught in the middle and like, yeah, come join
00:15:33
this team. Come join that team.
00:15:34
So I could see that being part of the storyline of like, who do
00:15:38
you want to be part of where the cool kids and or do you want to
00:15:41
go with those, you know, those nerds over there.
00:15:44
Right, but nerds. Angry Santa.
00:15:47
Angry Santa is. This angry Santa.
00:15:50
Simi Liu I I I him back on screen five year been on crazy
00:15:56
and it's like I need Chung Chi yeah, especially because I guess
00:16:02
since Simon, but it's like in zombies, but it's like him on.
00:16:07
Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely. No, it's yeah.
00:16:10
And he's a character that doesn't come with any baggage,
00:16:13
right? You know, there's a lot of
00:16:14
baggage with Marvel characters right now.
00:16:17
So he comes in, he's like a fresh voice, fresh take, almost
00:16:21
like Spider Man. How how he's just like kind of
00:16:23
like almost comedic during fight scenes.
00:16:27
He could be like a good pivot, a good piece to add to this movie.
00:16:31
So I'm I'm excited for a scene. Yeah.
00:16:33
Yeah. He he's Kenneth.
00:16:35
He's Kenneth. That's right.
00:16:37
He is a Ken. He's Asian.
00:16:40
He's Asian, yes. Now, as far as Elizabeth Olsen
00:16:42
goes, you going to talk about? That, yeah, I didn't really have
00:16:45
any talking points on that. I mean, she said she's not in
00:16:48
it. I don't know if she is or not.
00:16:51
You know, I'm not going to give her a lot of greed.
00:16:54
It's it's like, do we think that she.
00:16:57
Right, yeah. Or is it they're waiting till
00:17:01
Secret Wars? We don't really know what the
00:17:03
story is going to be. So we don't know if her being in
00:17:07
Doomsday is feasible or if they have to do it in Secret Work.
00:17:11
You know what I'm saying? So like she may not come in
00:17:13
until sequel. So that's that's where I am.
00:17:16
So additional photography or reshoots are scheduled for
00:17:20
spring of 2026, right before they start Secret Wars filming.
00:17:25
So cool, there's that, y'all? I'm excited about that.
00:17:30
I think it's going to be interesting, like the closer we
00:17:32
get. I will not go watch Avatar, Fire
00:17:35
and Ash or whatever. I'm not watching that movie, but
00:17:38
I want to see the trailer, so I'm sure I will get to see it on
00:17:41
YouTube at some point. But anyway, yeah, yeah, I'm
00:17:44
excited. So going from Yelena to who's
00:17:49
that redhead coming for Doom? That's right, Sadie Sync is
00:17:52
reportedly set to appear in Avengers Secret War.
00:17:57
I I. Refreshed our power to Marvel's
00:18:00
biggest crossover. The kind of the hits.
00:18:04
I mean, we know that Doomsday is coming out in 2026, Secret Wars
00:18:08
is coming out the next year in December 17th of 2027, and I'm
00:18:14
sure everybody knows who Sadie Sync is.
00:18:16
Do I need to say he's known for Stranger Things as Spider Man?
00:18:19
Brand New Day. She brings strong dramatic chop
00:18:23
to the MCU. Also, she can levitate.
00:18:26
Who doesn't love a girl? Who can who?
00:18:28
Who can love it? Casting adds another young face
00:18:32
to Marvel's Next Gen. roster. I like that Next Gen. roster
00:18:37
alongside Flo and Haley and Aman Belani.
00:18:44
Can't forget little Aman Belani. So what do you guys think?
00:18:47
Yeah, I mean, I, I pray, I appreciate you for putting 2 of
00:18:51
my like, big celebrity crushes right next to each other.
00:18:53
So I just like, can't escape here.
00:18:56
Yeah. There you go.
00:18:58
I didn't do that for you. I appreciate you putting Josh
00:19:01
Gad in it, since he's my yeah. Yeah, yeah, right.
00:19:04
Exactly. Thanks.
00:19:05
So, no, I it makes sense, you know, I mean, if you think about
00:19:10
Stranger Things ending and then what are these actors going to
00:19:13
do? Yeah, she could be like, let me
00:19:15
jump over to the, you know, from the Stranger Things universe to
00:19:19
the Marvel Universe and see where she can, you know, pick up
00:19:22
a a few projects, that sort of thing.
00:19:24
So it kind of makes me think that she's going to have a
00:19:28
bigger role in the MCU if she's going to go from, what is it,
00:19:33
Brand New Day into Secret Wars. Like there's maybe there's a
00:19:36
bigger plan than just like a one and done with Brand New Day.
00:19:40
So yeah, it makes me wonder who she's gonna be playing.
00:19:43
I mean, we're getting a lot of. Thing that was something I was
00:19:47
going to say is that was a question I had knowing do we
00:19:49
think it sounds if she's jumping to secret wars me sounds like it
00:19:54
she may not be spider man centric like she may not be a
00:19:59
spider man only character so does that you know that the
00:20:02
video we have out right now on the channel that's like 2
00:20:05
minutes long about her being punishers that.
00:20:10
Equal the. Rachel.
00:20:12
Yeah, Rachel call Alves. You can watch that after this
00:20:15
only takes a few minutes. Watch it like it follow, you
00:20:18
know, but after. But I, you know, it kind of
00:20:24
leads the leans more credence or lends more credence to that
00:20:29
theory, I think because Firestar would be, unless she's going to
00:20:34
be Jean Grey, and I would introduce a, an MCU character to
00:20:41
the MCU in a Sony movie. So so this morning I was having
00:20:47
a conversation. We're talking specifically about
00:20:51
who mainly because announced that like that so I I just
00:20:56
because Secret wars is happening doesn't vigilante a part of but
00:20:59
also we look at Jones right Maybe she's fires yeah and
00:21:04
that's. Kind of where my money is.
00:21:05
Right. And like if Angelica Jones, then
00:21:08
does that mean Drake we get Iceman and is this a callback to
00:21:14
Spider Man? Right.
00:21:15
We're getting the newer version of Firestorm in and this is an
00:21:19
in to an X-Men. I mean, that's that sounds,
00:21:23
yeah, that that's kind of what I'm thinking as where they're
00:21:26
going with this. So.
00:21:28
I like the idea of that. Again, shout outs to We were
00:21:31
talking about all. That's awesome.
00:21:33
Yeah, that's cool. So any James, anything.
00:21:37
Anything other than how dare you?
00:21:39
It makes me think I don't know who she's going to be playing
00:21:42
and there's it opened up to way too many options.
00:21:45
Like I watched the video about maybe she's going to be like
00:21:49
Lady Punisher or something like that or, or what is it?
00:21:51
Widow Warrior? And I'm like, that's it nailed
00:21:55
it. That's it.
00:21:56
And then all of a sudden this comes around.
00:21:57
I'm like, OK, maybe she's Firestar, maybe she is Jean
00:22:00
Grey. So I don't know anything
00:22:02
anymore. There are a lot of redheads to
00:22:05
choose from though, right? I mean, yeah, there are a lot of
00:22:07
redheads and waffles. Of course, like everybody's
00:22:10
prediction is like, oh, she's gonna be the real MJ.
00:22:12
Like get out of here and get over it.
00:22:15
Yeah. We don't necessarily like that.
00:22:19
That a spider man. Yeah.
00:22:21
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do too.
00:22:23
That was that was what I got out of it as well.
00:22:25
Was that all right? Let's move on.
00:22:29
Let's move on because we still got tons, got ton, all right?
00:22:32
Marvel's in its brothers era. The Russo brothers are
00:22:37
reportedly returning to guide Marvel's future after Avengers
00:22:41
Secret Wars. Their involvement could mark the
00:22:44
first time they've helmed MCU projects.
00:22:46
Then end game in 29. I mean, we know they're doing
00:22:50
Doomsday, but I think this is really one of those where it
00:22:55
they're they're going to be part of the, the Marvel's parliament
00:23:00
where, you know, they're going to shape the long term and
00:23:03
stuff, which I think it has been kind of directionless.
00:23:07
I I don't know that maybe Kevin Feige's not as interested in the
00:23:13
next part. I don't know, but I'm like OK.
00:23:15
I mean as as we'll talk about sorry, sorry, I I keep, I keep
00:23:19
interrupting you. I'm sorry.
00:23:21
No, go, go, go, go, go. Okay.
00:23:23
No, I was going to make a joke. I was saying.
00:23:25
Well, I mean, according to a story we're gonna read much
00:23:28
later, the robots writing all of it.
00:23:32
Kevin is of course going to be taking over writing duties, so.
00:23:36
There you go. There you go.
00:23:37
Yeah, that is true. But yeah, so they're also like,
00:23:40
they're rumored to be overseeing like multiple ensemble projects,
00:23:44
not just like Secret Wars and Doomsday, but like Phase 7 and
00:23:49
crossover events and stuff. So it's kind, I mean, I don't
00:23:54
hate it. They did really well with the
00:23:56
stuff they were given. And you know, hey, maybe it's
00:24:00
going to get Marvel back in a better storytelling place if
00:24:05
you've got like two people with a vision.
00:24:08
What do you think? We do have a few visions in the
00:24:11
NCA. True, there are two visions.
00:24:13
Yes. I'm I'm with this, I I like the
00:24:17
idea they I mean said from storyline that they're getting
00:24:21
that, but the whole thing it see them getting this all the way
00:24:26
end game. They had a very so I think that
00:24:29
what is happening in Feige, I think that they are on a
00:24:34
trajectory they have. So I think what Feige was the
00:24:38
Russos killed it or steering. I give them all the creative,
00:24:44
they're successful. Yeah, no, I mean, I hope that
00:24:47
Disney's kind of learning a little bit from still from from
00:24:51
Star Wars, where you want people, you want the same people
00:24:55
because you want that same creative vision to carry through
00:24:58
to make a consistent story. If you're going to try to do
00:25:00
serialized storytelling, you want to have one vision, not be
00:25:04
like, OK, we're here for this person and in this first, and
00:25:06
this person you hope that it works.
00:25:09
No cataracts in the bud. That's a vision thing.
00:25:12
I. Also like this, because it's, it
00:25:14
doesn't feel like it's just on Kevin Feige to do this.
00:25:18
Like, oh, it's, it's almost like a committee.
00:25:21
And if we're going to trust the Russos to do The Avengers movies
00:25:26
and we're going to trust Kevin Feige to have the vision for,
00:25:29
for the MCU as a whole. Like, yeah, let's let's let them
00:25:33
work together and not just bring them in for a project and then
00:25:36
they leave like like make it a committee.
00:25:38
So we're all working towards the same goal.
00:25:40
Let's let them cook. Let them cook.
00:25:43
All right, move on. I was muted.
00:25:45
Sorry, sorry, I was muted. No.
00:25:47
And I'm saying like, absolutely, let them cook.
00:25:50
Yeah. All right, let's move on because
00:25:52
you know I'm excited. About this one.
00:25:55
Oh yeah, of course you are. It's the Defenders reboot we've
00:25:58
all been waiting for. It's Charlie Cox with double G's
00:26:01
on his chest. Sorry, it was low hanging fruit.
00:26:06
I mean these are two of Daredevil born again finds Matt
00:26:10
Murdock rallying allies against Wilson Fist anti vigilante task
00:26:15
force. With Kingpin now mayor of New
00:26:17
York, the city becomes a battleground between outlawed
00:26:21
heroes and this RIP on power. So I mean this is coming up to
00:26:26
y'all. It's going to be March March 3rd
00:26:28
of 2026 perhaps on Disney plus. And as you can see, he's in the
00:26:33
black suit, which is inspired by battle land storyline comic
00:26:38
accurate. It looks good on him, Homestead.
00:26:41
Krysten Ritter is coming back for Season 2.
00:26:43
She's going to be Jessica Jones again, super excited, and she's
00:26:48
going to, obviously she'll bring alcohol, edgy, sassy comebacks
00:26:54
and a little levity to daredevils like Curiosity that
00:26:58
he's got. We know, John.
00:27:01
It's Wolverine with. There you go.
00:27:02
Yeah, her claws. Her claws are mental.
00:27:07
She's going to touch you with those comments.
00:27:10
So Don Bernthal's Punisher and Wilson Bethel's bullseye are
00:27:15
both confirmed to come back. So they will be coming back.
00:27:19
And then, you know, you've got to think about like this.
00:27:22
He had like, he's got his, what I'm trying to say, he's got all
00:27:27
the power he wants. He's got everything he wants.
00:27:29
What's he going to do now and then, you know, it's like, how
00:27:32
does how does this factor into the state?
00:27:35
What's going to happen there? Is it just going to escalate?
00:27:38
I'm so excited. It's.
00:27:40
Like, yeah, I do. First of all, you can't keep
00:27:43
doing this to me. You can't put Charlie Cox up
00:27:45
there too. Second of all, we I love the.
00:27:52
Wrong one. I'll say that too.
00:27:54
Oh yeah, no, I, I I like the themes that it seems to be
00:28:00
exploring of this kind of more relevant political allegories
00:28:06
and and all that theme. It's very it's like kind of it's
00:28:09
almost becoming a little bit more like Android themes in
00:28:13
having some more having something to say.
00:28:16
So I'm I guess it's good. So everybody else has actually
00:28:20
seen the show go. Yeah, I, I, I agree with that.
00:28:23
And I mean lead has come down a political message that's
00:28:26
happening in Fisk and fighting back and another message to
00:28:31
fight back-to-back against I I'm I am excited for season because
00:28:37
I characters that they haven't coming back.
00:28:39
I'm sure they're talking about, you know, bringing back iron
00:28:42
fist and I get it. A lot of people marvel having
00:28:46
their hand. As long as he's fighting in the
00:28:49
suit. I'm so tired.
00:28:50
I like the is everybody love Born again?
00:28:54
That's fine. I wasn't in love with Born
00:28:56
Again. I wanted to see that him in the
00:28:58
suit, finding in the suit, using his his his weapons and whatnot.
00:29:02
We didn't really get that until like the very end.
00:29:05
And I get that was part of the story that they were telling,
00:29:08
but it just wasn't enough, wasn't enough.
00:29:10
You mean Daredevil? You mean the Marvel TV series on
00:29:13
Netflix, right? Yeah.
00:29:15
No, no, no Daredevil on no the the, yeah, the the one on Disney
00:29:20
Plus. No, no, he's saying that there
00:29:21
was too much. Yeah, there's there wasn't
00:29:23
enough fighty fighty in his suit.
00:29:26
He was in a suit, like a suit and tie.
00:29:28
But I want, I want some daredevil suit, you know, OK
00:29:32
all. Right there was a couple fighty
00:29:33
fighting scenes. Not in the suit when she Hulk is
00:29:36
doing the fighty fighty want her in the suit more and being a
00:29:41
lawyer. But with Daredevil you want more
00:29:45
fighty fighty and less lawyer lawyer so.
00:29:48
I wouldn't say for me, I wanted, I wanted She Hulk in a swimsuit
00:29:53
holding up like a £300 barbell, like it was nothing.
00:29:57
Just like the comic books. That's what I wanted.
00:30:00
That's the She Hulk I wanted. Oh, so so so She Hulk, if he's a
00:30:03
woman, asked to be in a swimsuit, but Matt Murdock.
00:30:06
No, I want it to be like the comic cover.
00:30:09
I think he's saying he wanted that cover also go.
00:30:12
Ahead and try. Go ahead and try.
00:30:13
Also, all of that, that whole misogynistic, it all culminates
00:30:21
in that twerking scene and I'm I'm OK with that.
00:30:26
There you go, this went to a weird place.
00:30:28
We're moving on. You know, it's like.
00:30:31
Speaking of odd transformation. The Devil's Reign comic beats.
00:30:34
And then I'm like, I can't do that now.
00:30:37
So Speaking of odd transformation.
00:30:39
He's trying to transition. Finally get to eat their meal in
00:30:42
peace. Marvel Studios is officially
00:30:45
developing a sequel to Werewolf by Night Finally, with Michael
00:30:49
Giacchino returning to direct. The project builds on the
00:30:52
success of the 2022 special and promises to dive deeper into
00:30:57
Marvel's supernatural lore. So there's no confirmed release
00:31:02
date, but and just three report like insider report suggests
00:31:08
2026 on Disney Plus. Now Giacchino actually is the
00:31:14
one that confirmed this. So he said this is his next
00:31:17
project. They're they're expecting to
00:31:19
bring back Doc Russell, Elsa Bloodstone and man thing AKA
00:31:25
Ted. I'm wondering if maybe they're
00:31:28
going to try to like back door in Blade and like make this a
00:31:34
vehicle for Midnight sun. It's what do you guys think?
00:31:38
It's definitely something that that fits that circle because
00:31:42
werewolf by night I sentence blade fits in that tire or stems
00:31:47
from the the the he fought Dracula, But also I love that my
00:31:52
coming back to direct. I love his whole try his hand at
00:31:55
direct and I get graveyard doesn't.
00:31:57
I thought it was amazing. Yeah, it was great.
00:31:59
I thought it was. I love that we got so much set
00:32:03
still stuff in there that that doesn't get it vampires in it,
00:32:08
vampirism thing. But again, they're this the
00:32:11
smartest bring Black Knight back.
00:32:13
We've all been kind of like, OK, I get that doesn't mean we have
00:32:16
to throw. Right, right, right.
00:32:18
Yeah, I wonder if he might get sorry.
00:32:21
Oh, go ahead, I keep doing this. Go ahead, go ahead.
00:32:24
I wonder if he might get Moon Knight as well because he's very
00:32:27
connected where with my Knight as well.
00:32:29
So yeah, would be kind of cool. I want to see him back because I
00:32:32
apparently I was the only one that really like really loved
00:32:35
Moon Knight so. A lot of people.
00:32:38
Come back. But yeah.
00:32:40
It's Marvel's weird, we know that.
00:32:42
Oh, I know. All right, go.
00:32:44
No, I was going to say that the story's rumored to be
00:32:47
introducing new Marvel monsters, so we might get other other
00:32:52
Marvel moms. I can't think of any off the top
00:32:55
of my head right now, but. If they.
00:32:57
If they yeah, I was gonna say if they tread over vampires again,
00:33:01
100% pack we're getting, especially because all the hype
00:33:06
that Blade got in everybody, he wanted it before.
00:33:10
The hype is there. It's almost like Ryan Reynolds,
00:33:13
the test screening, everybody buzzed the help.
00:33:16
That is what's happening with. Well, you're thinking, let me
00:33:20
chime in and just respond to what you guys were saying
00:33:23
because First off, you're all wrong.
00:33:25
We're not going to get Blade in this.
00:33:27
Are you kidding me? They've hyped up Blade so much,
00:33:31
you know, doing announcements on on like Comic Con style Hall H
00:33:36
type stuff. They're not going to put Blade
00:33:39
in this to announce him. Mahershali, if he's comes back
00:33:43
as Blade, he's getting a movie. It's going to be the big
00:33:47
spectacle that that Kevin Feige wants it to be in a whole new
00:33:51
era. So I don't think he, I don't
00:33:53
think he's going to be coming in this.
00:33:56
And maybe there's a Midnight tons down the road, but I don't
00:33:59
think it's right off the bat. What if and so I if anything, we
00:34:04
already had him as a. Yeah, and they kind of ruined
00:34:06
Eternals. But what if?
00:34:09
What if this lead to the reintroduction?
00:34:12
See, I'm OK with that. Bring me bring back some Ghost
00:34:14
Rider ghost right in reverse. Bring it back so.
00:34:17
And it's Ryan Goss. Hell yeah.
00:34:19
Knocks out two birds with one stone.
00:34:21
Mainly because Feige has been talking about he wants to be a
00:34:25
Ghost Rider back. Which is not Ghost, which is not
00:34:28
his motorcycle, right. It's it's like a you said he
00:34:30
wanted a vehicle to bring ghost Rider back.
00:34:31
Well, that's. Yeah very good pun that's good,
00:34:37
but then that also start that that brings aside from Blade
00:34:41
brings in only other character we a proper midnight right.
00:34:45
So if we're going to do midnight what characters we Blade and
00:34:50
Ghost Rider. Those are 4 founding men that
00:34:53
has to be because same thing even though rehearsal law at
00:34:57
least started in on ATV show but still Copperhead was amazing.
00:35:01
He good job with that character but him as Blade star now him as
00:35:06
Blade Ryan Gosling as as ghost writer Oscar Isaacs then that's
00:35:11
the other problem. That's what I was.
00:35:12
Oscar Isaacs recently said that he.
00:35:15
Yeah. So I don't know where that's.
00:35:17
No, he walked that back. He did walk that back OK.
00:35:20
Somehow, Oscar Isaacs has returned.
00:35:23
But I mean his like again, his whole thing was very justified.
00:35:27
It was though I was I'm not against him and we're there's
00:35:30
two different. Yeah, which, Speaking of, we
00:35:32
should move on so we can get to the.
00:35:34
Well, hey, you know, now that you said that Joe Day Jonas Bark
00:35:39
has this buzzing with rumors and revelation.
00:35:42
But now it's time to step back from The Newsroom chaos.
00:35:45
Let's climb the stair, scan the horizon and break down the
00:35:48
cannon that really matters in watching the Watchtower.
00:35:53
James, get ready for this. Oh, it's a, it's a Watchtower.
00:35:56
I like that. That's good.
00:35:59
That's good. All right, DC time, Man of
00:36:01
Tomorrow. How about villain of tomorrow
00:36:04
James Guns? Man of Tomorrow will officially
00:36:08
introduce Brainiac as the central villain, forcing
00:36:12
Superman and Lex Luthor into an uneasy alliance.
00:36:16
This marks Brainiacs first live action appearance in Superman in
00:36:20
the Superman film, elevating the stakes for the DCU.
00:36:25
There's a couple casting rumors going around like Clays Bang,
00:36:29
David Hyde Pierce and Wallace Sean are being considered for
00:36:33
Brainiac. What do you think about bringing
00:36:35
out coming into the DCU? I don't do it and it'll be
00:36:38
awesome. I'm.
00:36:39
Excited thanks this is like the one villain that I have been
00:36:42
waiting and it's just because he's so much of I've been
00:36:47
wanting. I have a buddy that I that had
00:36:51
written a spec script about Brainiac wasn't the main script
00:36:57
that showed a future movement and basically it's Krypton gets
00:37:01
destroyed. There's A and it's Brainiac
00:37:04
where he was the and. That's that's the rumor is that
00:37:08
they're going to have Brainiac have something to do with
00:37:11
Krypton's destruction. So that kind of ties it back to,
00:37:15
you know, like Superman and Carlisle himself about why he
00:37:19
may care about what's happening with with Brainiac.
00:37:21
So. Yeah, and that's my favorite
00:37:23
version of Brainiac because that version of so much more from he
00:37:27
has so much more. He was essentially a friend of
00:37:30
his father's, right? And it makes him, it makes him
00:37:33
that much more threat because he is the Kryptonian.
00:37:37
He ends up and spends eons destroying planets to to gain
00:37:43
their and somehow that time course of time shortened down by
00:37:50
the time he gets to Earth, he moves through time is not
00:37:53
linear, right? And he ends up at or on Earth,
00:37:56
millennia older and wiser than, but it's only been 30.
00:38:01
Yeah, that's interesting. It's yeah, it's crazy the way
00:38:04
that they, you know, again, he they can still kind of play with
00:38:08
that. And I, yeah, I'm excited because
00:38:12
Brainiac is all of soup. I don't know if you guys have go
00:38:17
ahead. I was gonna I was gonna kind of
00:38:19
go off topic. So go ahead and eat your piece
00:38:21
in on this. Oh, I was just going to say that
00:38:23
I'm really excited about it too because Brainiac is such a huge
00:38:27
like after LAX Brainiac is like the one that really is like
00:38:33
Superman's like nemesis. I mean obviously dark side too,
00:38:37
but that more of a dark side's just stalking him kind of way.
00:38:42
But but yeah, Brainiac is like pure logic.
00:38:46
He doesn't give a crap about humans and so, and it's just a
00:38:50
real he's a really good foil for both Superman and Black, and
00:38:54
that's why he worked. Yeah, also in certain.
00:38:58
Yeah, yeah, they explored that on Harley, Harley Quinn.
00:39:03
A couple of different I always like.
00:39:06
Yeah, that's kind of. Have you any of you read The
00:39:09
Absolute Superman books that are that are in circulation right
00:39:13
now? Oh my gosh.
00:39:15
No, I haven't. Haven't had a chance.
00:39:17
Are they good? It's so good and how they handle
00:39:21
Brainiac and, and it's interesting because everybody
00:39:24
gets their own little origin stories, you know, so Brainiac
00:39:28
gets his origin story. So it's super interesting and it
00:39:32
shows how not just smart Brainiac can be, but also how
00:39:38
like diabolical he could be and and almost like crazy.
00:39:42
It's almost like Brainiac is the joker, like he's psychotic and
00:39:47
it's interesting how they how they put it together.
00:39:49
So I'm just throwing it out there.
00:39:50
He's it's amazing. I love what they're doing and
00:39:54
how they're giving back stories on all these villains,
00:39:57
especially Brainiac. It's so, so interesting.
00:40:00
So if you haven't read it yet, go check it out.
00:40:03
And then if James Gunn pulls up even just a sliver of this into
00:40:08
Man of Tomorrow, I'd be so happy.
00:40:11
All right, let's keep it going though, because there's a lot
00:40:14
going on. Oh, just to put a pin in it.
00:40:15
Man of Tomorrow begins filming in Atlanta.
00:40:19
April 2026 with a release date of July 9th, 2027.
00:40:23
So that puts us about a year and a half out for Man of Tomorrow.
00:40:27
Wow. But you know who we don't have
00:40:29
to wait for because he's in every project.
00:40:31
Rick Flag Senior is the anchor being of the DCU.
00:40:35
Frank Grillo revealed his Rick Flagg Senior will have a larger
00:40:40
role in Man of Tomorrow, expanding the legacy of the Flag
00:40:45
family beyond the Suicide Squad creature commandos, peacemaker,
00:40:50
Superman. He's in everything.
00:40:53
His presence ties Superman story to DC's military and espionage
00:40:58
corner. I didn't realize when James Gunn
00:41:02
hired Frank Grillo to be, you know, Rick Flagg Senior, that he
00:41:06
would play such a pivotal part in this.
00:41:08
Like he's one of like the through points or the through
00:41:11
lines for this entire DC, you know, phase one gods and
00:41:16
monsters type thing. He really?
00:41:18
Tied everything together. I I agree with that.
00:41:21
Yeah, absolutely. I didn't realize it either.
00:41:23
And then I saw this and I was like, holy crap, he's the guy.
00:41:26
He's the guy. Yeah, it makes I wonder what
00:41:29
they're going to do, because where where he was in Peacemaker
00:41:32
and his single vision to avenge his son?
00:41:38
How is it gonna keep his story going through the rest of the
00:41:43
DCU projects? It makes me interested.
00:41:46
Yeah, that's really interesting picking a character like this to
00:41:50
be kind of your central person, your through line because, you
00:41:54
know, you think, oh, you'd want to pick like a, you know, oh,
00:41:56
it's Superman. I know it's whatever.
00:41:58
No, it's just like this kind of lower level, you know, he's
00:42:00
still a he's kind of an agent or, or a government employee or
00:42:05
whatever. It's it's interesting It it is a
00:42:09
kind of takes the universe as it's still there's all this
00:42:12
grand superhero stuff, but there's also this very ground
00:42:14
level kind of smaller story that's very James Gunn.
00:42:20
Yeah, I'm not surprised by this at all.
00:42:21
If you know the comic flag scene, they pretty much have
00:42:24
their hand. So it makes a lot of sense that
00:42:27
you eat flag or I'm. I'm actually surprised that the
00:42:31
Waller to everybody she does have a connection whether it's
00:42:35
villains disconnected every and it's not to say that she that
00:42:39
connection more prominent and why she's been gone in charge of
00:42:42
everything like she may just come and retake Argus away flag
00:42:47
because I would love to see because it's very in character
00:42:50
flag to kind of go a little off the red lose it and the Waller
00:42:55
somehow being the voice of reason.
00:42:57
She's unhinged like it's it like the the balance being that that
00:43:04
is, it's not surprising this. Yeah, I Amanda Waller is is in
00:43:09
charge of CADMUS now, to be honest.
00:43:14
Somehow, Amanda Waller has returned.
00:43:17
If they bring up Cadmus, because that 100% is going to if they if
00:43:23
they make her in charge of Cadmus, I will lose that's that
00:43:27
is such a. You know they don't call me the
00:43:30
DCDC girl for nothing. I come up with crap that's I
00:43:35
don't know that anyone's ever actually called me that, by the
00:43:38
way. I was just riffing.
00:43:39
I like it. Well, do you know the fate of
00:43:41
the DCU? Because what will the fate be of
00:43:45
Doctor Fate? Pierce Brosnan recently hinted
00:43:48
at Doctor Fate's possible return in the DCU, sparking fans
00:43:53
speculation. James Gunn responded
00:43:56
cryptically, leaving the door open for Fate's role in future
00:44:00
projects. Would you like to see Pierce
00:44:04
Brosnan come back as Doctor Fate?
00:44:06
Yeah, definitely. He was one of the best parts of
00:44:09
Black Adam, really, that whole, that whole team.
00:44:12
But really, Pierce Brosnan? Fred, do you have a take on
00:44:16
Doctor Fate? Were you?
00:44:17
Are you a Doctor Fate? Are you a DC magic person?
00:44:20
Do you like DC's Mystical? Yes, I am.
00:44:23
Yeah. I really like Doctor Fate.
00:44:26
I I really do. I love that the helmet is, like
00:44:30
its own thing. And whoever puts the helmet on
00:44:32
get basically possessed by this God.
00:44:34
And I think it's me and Doctor Fate is pretty awesome.
00:44:40
He's he and Doctor Strange are very similar as far as like the
00:44:44
whole mythical rhythm type stuff.
00:44:47
So he definitely needs to come back.
00:44:50
I would love to see if they did AJSA Dart or, or just JSA.
00:44:55
He was a integral part of the JSA and they've already, they're
00:44:59
already starting to get some of the, the characters for that.
00:45:02
Mister Terrific was JSA before you know, I think he was also in
00:45:08
JLA at some point, but he he's been around too.
00:45:10
So I do think that that we will get a justice society and I hope
00:45:15
that we do get a doctor fake because I think not having him
00:45:19
would be a a real big disservice, especially since
00:45:22
blue beetles around and blue beetles powers and the comics
00:45:25
technically are Egyptian. I mean, it's like aliens and
00:45:29
Egypt and then. So like.
00:45:32
Yes, kind of. It's, there's a scarab beetle in
00:45:35
it anyway it, but that, that's something too.
00:45:39
So, and Doctor Fate plays into that as well because his, the
00:45:42
God that possesses that's in the helmet is an Egyptian God.
00:45:46
So, so it's really kind of neat. And yeah, I, I, I would love to
00:45:50
see that. I think Roslyn could play him
00:45:53
for a bit. But it's the helmet that's
00:45:56
Doctor Fate. It's not the person, but
00:45:59
whoever's wearing the helmet, so it could be.
00:46:01
They could, yeah. He could be in it and then not
00:46:03
in it. It's a Nobu.
00:46:06
Nobu is absolutely terrifying if you know his lore because he
00:46:10
will take you and not let you every last piece of life that he
00:46:16
can out of. I'm hoping that because we have
00:46:20
doctor faith. I love, I love the idea, but I'm
00:46:24
hoping that this is awesome. This will be a guitar and yeah.
00:46:29
Yeah. Because eventually Tara ends
00:46:31
very. I I I feel a good story to the
00:46:35
targets. No booze.
00:46:37
Just like, oh, you're so powerful and.
00:46:41
I think this is good for James Gunn to be like, you know what,
00:46:44
just like Blue Beetle, Like I liked Polo Mara Duena as Blue
00:46:47
Beetle. You're coming over to the DCU.
00:46:49
You know, Pierce Brosnan is Doctor Fate.
00:46:52
Yeah, I liked it. That worked.
00:46:53
You're coming over to the DCU. So whether it, you know, means
00:46:58
that we're going to get Black Adam in the DCU, it doesn't
00:47:01
matter. But if if Pierce Brosnan works
00:47:04
as Doctor Fate, go make it happen.
00:47:06
Wasn't he on the mural in the Hall of Justice?
00:47:09
Was Doctor Fate on the mural? The other thing is, and this is
00:47:14
Jen, hopefully this too excited right now.
00:47:17
Did you see what James Gunn posted or?
00:47:19
I I was. Just say what it is.
00:47:20
He made a really big deal about Blue Beetle.
00:47:24
Wait, he did. Yeah, he posted.
00:47:26
He Blue Beetle. Oh yeah, I see right here.
00:47:29
So I I feel like there maybe doesn't do, Hey, look, blue
00:47:34
beetles on Netflix be excited about it because it's DD Like I
00:47:38
feel like whatever property is probably going to.
00:47:41
Well also Peter Safran did Blue Beetle right and Peter Safran's
00:47:46
his bro. But still like.
00:47:48
I mean not to rain on your parade.
00:47:49
But I'm saying like the the amount of excitement that he
00:47:51
has, like, oh, hey, it's on Netflix.
00:47:54
But like him making a A feels like the way I'm telling every
00:48:00
lookout you should probably watch this movie.
00:48:02
Yes, watch it in Fight of Susan Sarandon.
00:48:06
All right, let's keep it going. Another DCU project in the can.
00:48:11
I am. Oh, Clay with this.
00:48:14
Get it? Oh.
00:48:15
Clay, clay, clay. The DC's Clayface movie has
00:48:20
finished filming, marking a major step in bringing Gotham's
00:48:23
or tinged villain to the big screen.
00:48:26
Though Mike Flanagan couldn't direct, his early development
00:48:30
helped shape the project, which now stands as a cornerstone for
00:48:34
DCU's supernatural expansion. I'm, I'm happy this is kind of
00:48:40
getting pushed forward like this.
00:48:42
It's not like this has made a big deal.
00:48:44
And we had to like, have, have big announcements.
00:48:47
It's like we heard a good story. Go make this happen and they're
00:48:51
going to make it happen. And I can't believe it's
00:48:53
finished filming. That's nuts.
00:48:55
Yeah, that's crazy. I mean, yeah, I'm.
00:48:58
I'm looking forward to it. Not exactly to expect, I'm not
00:49:01
really familiar with Clayface very much, but.
00:49:04
Well, if you, if you watch Batman the Animated Series, A
00:49:07
lot of the vision from Batman the Animated series and Clayface
00:49:12
and, and their take on Clayface is inspiring this version of
00:49:16
Clayface, which was it's going to be awesome.
00:49:19
Yeah, that's, that's really cool.
00:49:21
I'm I'm, I'm really excited about it.
00:49:23
I really, I think this is going to be neat.
00:49:25
I know they did a lot of it practically and not, I mean
00:49:29
obviously with Clayface you have to use thumb like that special
00:49:34
effect or effect or whatever. But they did.
00:49:38
They tried to do as much of it as they could practically, and I
00:49:41
think that's why it probably didn't take as long to film as
00:49:45
maybe some other. I like it.
00:49:47
And James Gunn did confirm. It's kind of weird because we're
00:49:50
not really talking about, like, the phases of this anymore.
00:49:55
Like in the very beginning he was like, this is going to be
00:49:57
like Chapter 1 or yeah, Chapter 1, Gods and Monsters.
00:50:01
But he, he kind of doesn't even mention that anymore.
00:50:03
It's kind of like just project to project.
00:50:05
So he did confirm that Clayface is going to be part of Gods and
00:50:10
Monsters Chapter 1. And it's coming out, Oh my gosh,
00:50:15
September 11th, 2026. So like 10 months from now,
00:50:20
we're going to get the Clayface movie.
00:50:22
Wow. It's interesting before the
00:50:24
Superman. It's interesting that our live
00:50:29
action is going to be clay of all characters and I it kind of
00:50:34
speaks to me route because he's not even going like a tent pole
00:50:38
Batman right He's or hey we're going to make a horror movie
00:50:42
introduce the Gotham in and I like the stance on them think
00:50:47
that it's. Well, if it really is a lived in
00:50:49
universe already, then that would make sense that, you know,
00:50:53
maybe I mean Batman just because we're meeting him for the first
00:50:57
time. Batman probably beat the crap
00:50:59
out of him several times by this point, so.
00:51:03
I'm excited. So, September 11th, 2026.
00:51:06
That's all I got for DC. We've scanned the Watchtower
00:51:10
locked in the Canon, but now it's time to zoom out.
00:51:12
Let's hit some headlines where the biggest stories across
00:51:16
fandom and entertainment break wide open with new graphics.
00:51:21
Look at that. Yes, very fancy.
00:51:24
All right, this is me. So we were beginning with our
00:51:28
Star Wars block. This is the way to becoming a
00:51:31
hero. The Mandalorian Grogu is slated
00:51:34
for May 22nd, 2026, and Jon Frapper promises Din will
00:51:39
finally embrace a full hero status.
00:51:42
So is this the start of a new dynasty in Star Wars?
00:51:44
Absolutely. I think I agree.
00:51:47
I'm here for it. Yeah, I I think so Din deserve
00:51:50
Yeah yeah, I I feel like the. Yeah, I mean, I I'm like, what?
00:51:54
Was he not a hero before? I feel like with what's happened
00:51:56
recently, he's. More moral?
00:51:58
Great. Yeah, got a couple of.
00:52:00
For the most part, he is still part of a cult.
00:52:03
Yeah. And I do want him to retain a
00:52:05
little bit of that nuance, but I agree he does need to be a
00:52:08
little bit more overwork, I guess so, yeah, all right.
00:52:12
But everybody. I think, I think Star Wars is
00:52:14
finally realizing like we can't dictate where these stories need
00:52:20
to go. The story has to dictate where
00:52:23
it goes, you know, where people are, what resonates with people.
00:52:26
Then just like it's not working, let's bring Palpatine back
00:52:29
because that worked in the past. So.
00:52:31
Right, you can make that work. Cool.
00:52:33
You know what? You need to stop trying to make
00:52:36
Palpatine a thing. Palpatine's not a thing.
00:52:39
But somehow Palpatine has returned.
00:52:42
He better not fucking return again because it's just I
00:52:46
anyway. But Speaking of, returns.
00:52:48
Anyway, wait no, I was going to say the only way he would return
00:52:51
is if we returned him to sender. Well, Speaking of returns from
00:52:57
Ren to Ben, will the hunt begin? The campaign to resurrect the
00:53:01
hunt for Ben Solo surged after Disney's fourth quarter 2025
00:53:06
shareholder meeting. Now, the shareholders and the
00:53:08
fans are united in a viral push to resurrect the canceled
00:53:12
project. So your team, Ben?
00:53:14
Or should we let the Skywalkers finally rest?
00:53:17
Jackie would say yeah, Jackie would say Team Ben make it
00:53:21
happen. It's one of her hall passes.
00:53:23
I mean, yeah, OK team. Ben too.
00:53:25
Let's do this. Give Adam Driver more time to
00:53:28
Bruce. I I think that Adam Driver made
00:53:31
a big point if he was pushing it that hard given like knowing how
00:53:36
how serious he takes his acting and it was a big enough for him
00:53:40
to to to and the only person who said no was Bob Iger.
00:53:44
So let's do it. I think that we should do this.
00:53:46
I think that Disney. Could screw Bob Iger.
00:53:48
Let's do it, I think. I think they need to nut up and
00:53:51
they need. Yeah, and not to bring in
00:53:54
another another star frantic. This is very search for SWAC,
00:53:57
which there was a lot of doubt at at the time.
00:54:00
It's like, oh, we should do whatever, but then it worked out
00:54:03
really well. So this this could be good.
00:54:05
Yeah, Iger was just like, but he's dead.
00:54:08
How do you bring him back? I was like you, literally.
00:54:11
Have that waffle your own franchise.
00:54:13
You brought back. You brought.
00:54:15
Fucking Palpatine back. Maybe.
00:54:17
Maybe that is. 15 times. Maybe that is him learning,
00:54:19
thinking like, oh, I, I messed up and I brought Palpatine back
00:54:22
and everybody hated it, so I can't.
00:54:24
It wasn't the problem. Yeah, the problem was you
00:54:26
brought him back with no. Exactly.
00:54:29
I'm I'm on the fence about this. Like I if it's a good story, I
00:54:34
kind of want to see it like like I'm I'm for it, especially if if
00:54:38
the fan base wants to see it, but I'm also like, what happens
00:54:41
after that? You know, it, it's not like
00:54:43
we're going to resurrect him somehow, right?
00:54:46
He died, right? He died.
00:54:48
He died. Well, yeah, but you could you
00:54:50
could you people have been resurrected in Star.
00:54:52
Wars. They're not going to.
00:54:53
We're not going to get a movie about a Force ghost in the
00:54:55
future, are we? That would be cool actually.
00:54:58
Maybe, OK, maybe maybe I'm into it convincing myself.
00:55:00
OK, sorry. All right, let's let's, let's go
00:55:03
on for James, change his mind again.
00:55:05
All right, so from a Galaxy far, far away to an epic adventure
00:55:10
not in a Galaxy far, far away, Nintendo finally unveiled its
00:55:14
iconic duo in live action. The first look revealed of Link
00:55:18
and Zelda in The Legend of Zelda.
00:55:21
The movie, that is. The release date is scheduled
00:55:23
for May 7th of 2027. Sorry, Team Zelda, Team Gandorf,
00:55:28
there's a right answer. The answer is Gandorf.
00:55:31
Duh. I am not.
00:55:35
I am not very. I have not played any Zelda
00:55:37
games. I'd like to, but I never, I was
00:55:40
never a Nintendo person, so I never had the resources to be
00:55:43
able to do so. But I like, you know, I like the
00:55:46
universe. Do you understand the concept
00:55:48
of? It's a kind of a chosen of the
00:55:50
gods thing. Kind of.
00:55:52
It's more of like a Groundhog's Day in a different.
00:55:55
Right. Yeah, it is.
00:55:56
Keep repeating because this one, because again, keeps coming
00:55:59
back. Right, right, yeah, again I'm
00:56:02
and I've seen like the steel shots and everything like that.
00:56:05
I'm more if Ganondorf actually look.
00:56:09
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I haven't played Zelda since
00:56:14
like 8 bit Nintendo, which I'm not even sure it had a story.
00:56:18
I just remember that one screen that would you'd have to go
00:56:20
through that one screen five times to get past it or
00:56:23
something like that. So I don't know any of the lore
00:56:26
behind this, but I know fans love it.
00:56:29
Or am I going to like it? Can somebody tell me if I'm
00:56:32
going to like it? Probably.
00:56:35
I mean, it depends on it depends on how it is.
00:56:36
It's Groundhog Day with elves. What?
00:56:38
Tell me what's happening. They're not elves.
00:56:41
I got corrected on this on the stream a while back Yeah, you're
00:56:43
so you'll like I got corrected on this a while back on on this
00:56:47
show. They are not elves or elf like
00:56:50
but. Yeah there there is apparently a
00:56:52
difference. So OK anyway, all right so in
00:56:57
well from a Galaxy from not a Galaxy far far away to a
00:57:01
different Galaxy far far away. Fans glimpse Marios interstellar
00:57:05
adventure in the Super Mario Galaxy movie when the trailer
00:57:09
finally dropped. Where the trailer dropped this
00:57:12
month that was that was rough. The release date.
00:57:14
The film lifts off on April the 3rd of 2024.
00:57:19
I didn't even know there was a trailer. 2026, not 20. 2026 yes
00:57:24
no it it it released about last year now April 3rd of 2026.
00:57:29
I'm sorry this is a disaster. I didn't know there was a
00:57:31
trailer. Did anyone else?
00:57:34
I've seen that trailer like 12 times.
00:57:36
It's fucking great. It's really good.
00:57:40
I'm I'm excited for this and it's just because like there is
00:57:43
kind of like give and take relate.
00:57:45
It's kind of like if you played the game Bowser kind of make
00:57:50
them like uneasy their enemy. They kind of have that vibe
00:57:54
going. So I like that.
00:57:56
I also really the way it's it looks good.
00:58:00
I think it's a really adaptation of of more the two things that
00:58:08
I'm we didn't see in the trailer that I'm hoping happens in the
00:58:11
one we got Yoshi's at the end of last movie.
00:58:16
So there better be a freaking is the sense we got Yoshi as the
00:58:21
tale, as a tale of the last movie.
00:58:25
Does that mean we get Wario and Wal Luigi and they're the main
00:58:29
the third movie? I I do need AII do need a
00:58:32
Waluigi? Wow, Luigi.
00:58:37
That was always my that was always my main on Mario Karty
00:58:40
with some of my friends. So, yeah, I'm going to need a
00:58:43
Waluigi. No.
00:58:45
All right. Were you moving on?
00:58:47
All right, So is Mike Flanagan the real gunslinger?
00:58:51
According to updates this month, Mike Flanagan reassures fans
00:58:54
adaptation will honor King's saga, The Dark Hour.
00:58:58
So was this on your Stephen King scorecard for 2025?
00:59:02
Oh, This is why Mike Flanagan didn't do Clayface right is
00:59:06
because he got this Stephen King.
00:59:08
He got the. Dark Tower, it's funny, we were
00:59:11
just talking about this and I hope somebody does as, as as
00:59:15
much as I like the actors that were in the Dark Tower movie, it
00:59:19
had nothing to do. And it's like I, I, I'm, I'm
00:59:23
excited to get this because or this, whatever they're doing it.
00:59:28
It is the culmination. All of him, all of Steven and
00:59:32
all the shows we have been have made-up cross referencing
00:59:36
properties to a point over this weekend and running man had
00:59:44
references to dairy and it and you know, they had all these
00:59:48
everything in universe. They are very much in property.
00:59:51
They're everything the Dark Tower is on property that has
00:59:56
the reason they they explain the reason for why people have the
00:59:59
shine all these different. It is amazing the movie didn't.
01:00:03
I'm hoping that I know Mike. He has a so I cannot wait.
01:00:07
I love there's like a a soft cinematic universe out there of
01:00:12
Stephen King properties. That's cool.
01:00:14
All right. Yep.
01:00:16
So from. Oh no, you have to OK, cool.
01:00:20
So from multiversal fantasy to just plain fantasy.
01:00:25
Middle Earth 0 Sauron 1. The Lord of the Rings ambitious
01:00:29
Middle Earth online game was scrapped after a massive layoffs
01:00:33
cancellation was announced at the end of October 2025.
01:00:36
So does this mean Amazon is out of the game making business?
01:00:39
Oh, that's interesting. I didn't think about that.
01:00:41
So there's no game. Coming at all or the rings?
01:00:44
There's no, yeah, apparently it's just scrap.
01:00:46
It's just been. Yeah, this game's gone.
01:00:49
So they scrap this MMO. I know that they have been in
01:00:55
this engine. So the the two those games were
01:01:00
the shadow of war, Shadow of War.
01:01:03
Those games were really ended on that talks with and and and what
01:01:09
they're saying is that there's going to comes out developing
01:01:12
that is going to single player. I think a lot of it is because a
01:01:17
lot of these just failed with Gollum.
01:01:20
They they just have not. I think that they it needs to
01:01:23
live in Peter Jackson's you because with the exception of
01:01:27
The Hobbit and and and yeah do something.
01:01:34
I love the idea to tell the whole the origin of they tried
01:01:38
to do that again the show but they do something worth the play
01:01:43
as. Oh, that'd.
01:01:44
Be cool. Yeah, like like think about
01:01:45
that. Like you tap that whole and you
01:01:48
cross paths with with Aragon. Like that would be like, I would
01:01:53
love something like that. Yeah, I would love a more
01:01:56
traditional, I mean, you know, a more traditional RPG where you
01:01:59
do actually have some choices and you can shape some things, I
01:02:02
think especially if it's a very minor story.
01:02:04
That's what this M because they were going to give you dwarf,
01:02:07
you elves, you Rangers. But the thing part of it was.
01:02:14
Yeah, well, that that is disappointing because it did
01:02:16
sound fun. All right.
01:02:19
Sal, we're on one. Yep, that's what I'm saying.
01:02:21
Miller 0, Sal on one. All right, so we're now on our
01:02:25
Netflix block, a cigar smoking Captain Ahoy babies.
01:02:32
Excuse me. Captain Smoker's arrival in
01:02:34
season 2 of One Piece teases epic battles, and it's already
01:02:37
renewed for season 3 release stage Season 2 set sail on March
01:02:41
10th of 2026. Did anyone watch season 1?
01:02:44
Because I did not. I am not going to.
01:02:47
Yeah, that's, it's a whole thing I'm not going to get into so.
01:02:50
I did. I watched it, I liked it.
01:02:51
I had a lot of fun with this show.
01:02:53
I actually watched it with my wife and she enjoyed it too.
01:02:56
And she was asking me things. I'm like, I don't know, I
01:02:58
haven't watched the anime, but it, it, this is fun, just kind
01:03:01
of getting into a world that has a lot of lore already built
01:03:08
around it and I don't know what's going to happen.
01:03:10
And I was pretty OK with that. I had a lot of fun.
01:03:12
It was funny. Cool.
01:03:15
I I mean what I know the anime it sounds insane, so yeah I.
01:03:20
I haven't watched it, but I think I have.
01:03:23
This whole thing. It's like I hadn't told that.
01:03:27
It's like my 80. It was the same thing when I
01:03:32
were told I ended up watching Now.
01:03:35
Oh, there. You go.
01:03:37
And I loved it. It's awesome show, but it's
01:03:39
like, OK well now I get to watch Peace.
01:03:42
Well, you better watch this one, otherwise Michaela Hoover is
01:03:46
going to get mad at you. You don't want that.
01:03:48
That's right, that's right. She plays one of.
01:03:50
Them she's playing Chopper in it which.
01:03:54
And the next season, your boy Blue Beetles going to be in it.
01:03:58
Yeah, that's right. That's right.
01:03:59
That so I mean I I probably should.
01:04:02
Yeah, exactly. All right, great.
01:04:04
So next on our Netflix walk is maybe the real monster was
01:04:11
Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein becomes a global
01:04:13
hit with gothic vision. So have you seen it yet?
01:04:16
What do you think of it if you have?
01:04:18
I have not, but it again sounds great.
01:04:22
I've heard nothing but good thing again.
01:04:24
I everybody's how good, how much close any other.
01:04:29
Except the ending. They changed the ending
01:04:31
completely. But no, I I'm not saying that
01:04:34
it's not a good movie, I'm just saying that's like the big part
01:04:36
where they changed it. Everything else is actually
01:04:39
pretty, pretty valid. I'm going to stop, but I.
01:04:42
Mean I'm generally. Yes, yes, it was.
01:04:46
I'm sorry, I was. I was nodding.
01:04:47
Yes, yes. You're good.
01:04:52
All right, well, before we dig ourselves into a larger hole,
01:04:56
well, we're going to continue on Netflix here.
01:04:58
Whatever it is, it's going to be going to be golden.
01:05:01
The K Pop Demon Hunters cast wants the sequel to expand
01:05:04
worldwide or reset the saga entirely.
01:05:07
The release date for this, The original film debuted on August
01:05:10
in August 2035. The sequel is slated for 2029.
01:05:14
Yeah, the first one did go global, just maybe not in the
01:05:17
way they they were talking about.
01:05:19
So I have now seen this movie. It's great.
01:05:23
So I, I, I get it and I'd love there, I, I know there's going
01:05:28
to be a sequel. I'd love for it to expand
01:05:30
beyond, beyond Korea. It would, yeah, there was, you
01:05:33
know, great movie. I don't know what I can't, what
01:05:36
I could say about it that somebody else hasn't, but I
01:05:38
loved it. And I've had some of the songs
01:05:40
stuck in my head for the last like 2 weeks.
01:05:42
Oh, those those songs do not leave your head.
01:05:44
And for James? It's Oh, I'm aware.
01:05:46
For for, for James, it's like a cross between torture, pure joy.
01:05:52
Because I'm sure plays all that music times.
01:05:55
It's like what? What are you talking about man?
01:05:57
I I just found a Spotify playlist of K pop demon hunters
01:06:01
for like sleepy time and I'm like oh I can listen to it while
01:06:04
I'm sleeping. It's like a lullaby, like K13
01:06:07
demon. Hunters or the laws in your
01:06:09
brain? Yeah, are you kidding me?
01:06:12
Bring it on. And.
01:06:13
It was something funny that one of the MENA I think don't look
01:06:18
bad at names is basically exactly the same as the DND
01:06:21
character I was playing at the time.
01:06:23
And one of my and my friends were like, you need to watch
01:06:25
this because you're just playing her.
01:06:27
So it was. It was very funny anyway.
01:06:30
I so I think when they say go, they're talking about the Han
01:06:35
worldwide. Yeah, also.
01:06:37
Spoilers. Yeah, no, I mean, that does
01:06:40
that, that that just sounds like gibberish, right?
01:06:42
Yeah. And at this point, if you
01:06:43
haven't seen it, like one, it's been on Netflix for how long?
01:06:47
2, It's been in theaters three times.
01:06:50
You've had no chance to watch it.
01:06:52
I don't care, I haven't watched it yet, we don't have Netflix
01:06:55
and I'm not going to the freaking movies to watch K pop
01:06:57
Demon Hunters. Look, I, I I just have cool
01:07:00
friends, OK? So you know.
01:07:02
Just on the Saturday you don't I bought AK Pop Fortnite skin and
01:07:06
play that game that much. That's the effect that.
01:07:11
Well, it's good to know that it's convinced, Matt.
01:07:13
All right, so. It's a it's a good film.
01:07:16
I I'm it's not like The Godfather.
01:07:18
You don't have to rush out and go see it, but it is at this
01:07:22
point it's become iconic. You know what I mean?
01:07:25
Like, it has set so many records for Netflix and for theaters and
01:07:29
for the soundtrack as well. You know, like we've never had
01:07:34
like, or we haven't had a top soundtrack like this along with
01:07:39
the movie since like Saturday Night Fever or something like
01:07:43
that. So it's something crazy.
01:07:45
Also, because we don't have it on here, did you guys hear the
01:07:49
Asadja boys? No.
01:07:51
What's? What's going on?
01:07:53
So, yeah, so you know, we have obviously the actresses,
01:07:58
Huntrix, well, the five guys that play the Saja boy, three of
01:08:03
them were two of them were they just recently read Master of
01:08:09
Music and they are going to be in the Saja boys real life and
01:08:13
the Saja boys. So that's awesome.
01:08:16
I know. So like that there was somebody
01:08:18
who was talking about it on TikTok and they're so now does
01:08:22
that mean we're actually gonna get a saja boys Huntrix like can
01:08:27
think? Like a full reenactment of the
01:08:29
of the film. Yeah, just that that whole final
01:08:32
scene. I would love to see that.
01:08:33
I like the you have that whole final performance.
01:08:36
Yeah. Like, you mean like a live
01:08:38
action version? OK, says Netflix.
01:08:42
Not saying live action movie, I'm saying the the the the 8 of
01:08:46
that performing 3 songs at the end of that movie on stage.
01:08:51
The Oscars a mate. That would be awesome.
01:08:54
OK, sorry, I'm at lakes. Or oh, Clay.
01:08:58
All right, so. Clay.
01:09:00
So you want to hear a deep rumor?
01:09:01
You want to hear a deep rumor? I don't know who's doing the
01:09:03
Super Bowl halftime show this year or this season, but I heard
01:09:07
a rumor that they were going to also try to get the K Pop Demon
01:09:11
Hunters to find a way to mix that into the.
01:09:14
Let's fucking do it. Let's do it.
01:09:15
Yes, exactly. And that would make you finally
01:09:18
watch. Football this year.
01:09:20
You know what won't be at the Super Bowl this year is Moana.
01:09:24
Right, but she will be back on the big screen because she is
01:09:27
still hearing the oceans call Catherine.
01:09:31
Laga Aya. Yep, I believe I did that.
01:09:33
Laga Aya's debut as Moana sparks excitement across the Disney
01:09:37
fandom. This is the live action version,
01:09:40
of course, and it will be sailing into theaters on July
01:09:43
10th of 2026. So will Mary still play the
01:09:46
ukulele in this version? I don't think he played it in
01:09:48
the first. Did he play it in the first in
01:09:50
the anime You? You wrote this.
01:09:53
I didn't, but still. Will Mary play the ukulele in
01:09:56
this version, I thought. The Rock The rock does play the
01:09:59
ukulele, so. Well, OK, so will the Rock play
01:10:02
the ukulele in this one? I'm sure he.
01:10:03
I hope so. It's in the trailer.
01:10:05
He's singing. Yeah.
01:10:06
OK, yeah, I know it's. Do it honestly, like I know a
01:10:10
lot of people poo pooed like live action.
01:10:13
We don't need a live action. I kind of want a live action
01:10:17
version. I enjoy this movie.
01:10:20
Yeah, I love I love the Moana movie.
01:10:23
It it gets like between Moana and like frozen and now it's K
01:10:28
pop Devon hunters like that's what's playing in our house.
01:10:33
Stop and I'm. Not that it matters
01:10:34
particularly, but she is a dead ringer for Moana though.
01:10:38
Like the perfect casting. She is Moana.
01:10:42
Yeah, yeah. That's.
01:10:42
What I'm saying like she I wonder if the animated character
01:10:46
was modeled after her. The the Internet in its infinite
01:10:50
non knowledge has already come Catherine how hair is her hair
01:10:56
is not. Oh, fuck you.
01:10:59
Yeah. I mean, I, yeah, I'm usually,
01:11:01
I'm not. I don't think they should be
01:11:02
doing live action remakes of things.
01:11:04
But I mean, I don't know this, I'm sure it'll be good, just we
01:11:09
don't need it but. We do need it and honestly it
01:11:13
could be the humidity. Maybe it's just a good humidity
01:11:16
day. Wait till it's a bad humidity
01:11:18
day and then. Every hair is going to go.
01:11:20
It'll change your mind. Yeah, it's very difficult if you
01:11:23
don't for. A few days, that thing's going
01:11:25
to puff right up, yeah. Exactly.
01:11:27
She's not going to have conditioner with her.
01:11:29
No, no. And that's, you know.
01:11:30
It's right because that. Little is going to annoy the out
01:11:34
of her. Yeah, that's great.
01:11:35
Yeah, people were complaining about how her hair, like, yeah,
01:11:38
but Dwayne Johnson's, yeah, they're like, but he's wearing a
01:11:41
wig and does it matter? Just shut up.
01:11:44
All right, so, and now we are moving to our kind of
01:11:49
miscellaneous franchise futures box.
01:11:52
He has the power of Grayskull. The Masters of the Universe test
01:11:56
screenings are happening, and early reactions are fueling hype
01:11:59
for he man's return. The release date for this is set
01:12:02
for June 5th, 2026. So Who Will Win the battle for
01:12:06
Eternia? I'm all in for this.
01:12:08
I and I'm sure James is all in for this.
01:12:10
You better be all in. Grew up with that.
01:12:13
Jen, are you in all? The way that's making me
01:12:15
excited. Yeah, I have a Ram man in my
01:12:17
garage. Wait, that didn't?
01:12:19
Sound right? That OK, That does.
01:12:22
Well, I apologize. I'm glad.
01:12:24
No, I'm glad it's not in your basement.
01:12:25
I'm keeping PG but. Being the phrasing of that.
01:12:29
I'm not loving it. James's favorite character is
01:12:32
Seaman. Don't ruin, don't ruin my
01:12:33
childhood, OK? You know.
01:12:35
We're doing it. We're doing it right now.
01:12:37
James's favorite character of all time is Seaman.
01:12:39
We all know that. Ram Man and then Seaman.
01:12:43
Right. Yeah.
01:12:44
Anyway. Well, I guess.
01:12:45
His name is I am a man for. This movie, it looks, it looks
01:12:48
fun. I like the actor that's playing
01:12:51
he man. Yeah, I'm all for it.
01:12:53
His name is actually Merman. If you know this the this
01:12:56
quickest, the quickest side, sorry about that.
01:12:58
They and somebody in their infinite wisdom at Hasbro was
01:13:02
like, you realize what that is when you say that fast, right?
01:13:05
Oh, we'll change it to. It's like Shirley from Venture
01:13:10
Brothers. Oh yes, oh, I love.
01:13:13
That's has your favorite character on Venture Brothers is
01:13:16
Shirley. He loves them.
01:13:18
So good. No, it's yeah, stinks.
01:13:22
All right, Well, we're, we've gotten this fact.
01:13:24
We're moving on. So Predator or Prey?
01:13:28
Dan Tracenberg hints at what could follow the shocking finale
01:13:31
of Predator, Badlands and the Police state of course.
01:13:34
Further Badlands. It was released on November 7th
01:13:37
of this year. So when do we get the Alien
01:13:41
Predator crossover? The the next one I should say.
01:13:44
It's happening, it's happening, it's happening soon.
01:13:48
Are you, you know, I was going to chime in and say I hope it
01:13:50
doesn't happen soon because both franchises are cooking by
01:13:54
themselves. Like we don't.
01:13:56
I as much as I want them to crossover as much as I, I wanted
01:14:00
that or crossover to happen back in what the, was it 2000s?
01:14:04
Like they don't need to crossover right now.
01:14:06
They're both doing so well, telling good stories separately.
01:14:10
I'm so excited for, for Predator and for the aliens franchises.
01:14:16
So if if it takes, you know, 5-6 years for them to crossover, I'm
01:14:20
totally OK. No, no, no.
01:14:22
Give me more, I have a counterpoint money.
01:14:25
It will happen soon. Money and it's Disney, but I
01:14:27
mean still with that being said. So money.
01:14:31
This movie already has crossovers with because
01:14:35
literally the second secondary. E Story.
01:14:39
B plot. The Co lead the Co lead yeah,
01:14:42
Waylon Utani Sin, right? Literally a character out of
01:14:47
Alien. So this is already an Alien
01:14:49
crossover. But like, leave it as an Easter
01:14:52
egg, that's fine, I'm OK with that.
01:14:54
But they are in the same universe, so and that's things
01:14:57
like they're the same you displayed.
01:14:58
Subtle, subtle crossovers and, and like kind of just put it in
01:15:01
there. And then I, I'm, I'm with James
01:15:04
on this. I'm with James on that.
01:15:05
I know, shocking, but I'm with James.
01:15:08
I honestly don't want to crossover.
01:15:11
I want it to be the culmination because I want, I want Dan
01:15:14
Trachtenberg cooking on this because three properties, three
01:15:18
hits needs to keep going. Do not take this property away
01:15:23
and Trachtenberg, let him be the Russo Brothers of competitor
01:15:27
because this dude cannot do wrong with the Predators.
01:15:32
Great, so staying on FX here. More swords and more sacrifice
01:15:38
than feudal Japan. FX double s down for Shogun
01:15:41
Season 2, which is set 10 years after the events of the first
01:15:44
season. So the release date?
01:15:47
Well, we don't really know the release date yet, but production
01:15:49
begins in January 2020 sixth, so likely it's premiering in 2027.
01:15:54
So what do we want to see in Season 2?
01:15:57
Before we get rid of that photo, can we just like marvel at that?
01:16:02
It is just so beautiful. Look at how pretty that is.
01:16:06
It's just very, very well, friend.
01:16:07
We can get rid of it if you would like.
01:16:09
I just it's. It's but also not just that,
01:16:11
it's the fact that he is an actual samurai.
01:16:13
Hey, like he is an actual samurai playing a samurai.
01:16:18
He's like the the the last of the samurai.
01:16:21
I I love the first show of the first season of the show.
01:16:26
Me and Jen like talked every night after each episode, right,
01:16:30
because we were talking like meet me and Chuck.
01:16:33
We were accuracy everything on there in the books and the
01:16:37
difference is in one where I'm afraid on this and create new
01:16:41
property from something that was already so it's not the writings
01:16:45
like and that would that that's what work.
01:16:48
Hopefully they continue to take more direction from Hiroki
01:16:53
Sonata, mainly because I that they they relied on him a lot as
01:16:59
far as tradition as spoke as far as the stories and the accuracy
01:17:04
of the story. I'm hoping that they continue on
01:17:06
with that and Hiroki. Sonata is deep where the story
01:17:11
go because it has potential to be something amazing, but it
01:17:15
also has potential to be Game of Thrones all over.
01:17:17
Right. And not in a good way, right?
01:17:19
Yeah. So, all right.
01:17:21
Well, yeah, we'll, we'll see what happens.
01:17:23
Well, going back to some. Well, anyway, we're, we're we're
01:17:28
jumping back. We aren't done with Windy just
01:17:31
yet. Alien Earth season 2 has been
01:17:34
greenlit with Noah Hawley deepening his FX partnership.
01:17:38
So the release date, well, the renewal was announced on
01:17:41
November 11th that's going to be filming in 2026.
01:17:44
So we're expecting the premiere around 2027.
01:17:48
What do you think of Season 1? I'll.
01:17:50
Let somebody else go first, yeah?
01:17:52
I have not either. I haven't seen it yet, so I I'm
01:17:54
gonna, I'm just gonna not be a part of this conversation.
01:17:58
Yeah, Phil, what do you think of Season 1?
01:17:59
Eyeball monsters, all the different things that are in
01:18:03
this, the show was with. I was a little bit upset with
01:18:06
myself that I didn't watch it as it was the fact I was just.
01:18:11
Upset with you too. Yeah, this show was this show
01:18:13
was great. And I mean they they kind of
01:18:16
left it on the on the slight cliffhanger at the end, at the
01:18:19
end of this. I'm happy that they're they did
01:18:22
specifically say that see London, which kind of tells me
01:18:26
that they are going to be mega cities and it's not just going
01:18:30
to be on the island And I that it's going that route and we're
01:18:33
going to see more kind of getting deeper into all the and
01:18:37
see just how corrupt whaling Utani is and everything else
01:18:42
that's going on. It's not just whaling, Utani,
01:18:45
it's all the other all operations, like the five
01:18:47
different corporations that are running Earth, right?
01:18:50
For the most part, they're all corrupt.
01:18:52
Right, right. Like corporations are.
01:18:54
Exactly. Yeah, but.
01:18:56
Because. Honestly this this is how this
01:19:00
story should be told, especially something new for the Alien
01:19:04
franchise having it as a series. Like was it 8 episodes and 9
01:19:09
episodes? I forgot but like, that amount
01:19:12
of storytelling was perfect for this show and just getting to
01:19:18
know the characters, finding the analogies for like the Lost Boys
01:19:22
and Peter Pan and Wendy. Oh I loved it.
01:19:25
It was so good. It was so good.
01:19:27
I can't wait to see more of what they do with this.
01:19:30
And as much as I am scared of the eyeball monster, I also
01:19:34
think he's kind of cute. He's, I think he's gonna be a
01:19:40
friend. I think he just may be a friend.
01:19:42
I don't know. Is, is that like a a Beyonder?
01:19:45
Like Ivy Beyonder or something? Oh no.
01:19:48
Talking about you. Oh, it's more like.
01:19:50
Beyond gross. Yeah, that's it's, it's more
01:19:52
like a possessor and not in any good way, I think as creepy as
01:19:57
all. Right, well, I don't want to
01:19:58
know anymore. And now I really don't know that
01:20:00
I want to watch the first season.
01:20:02
Well, Speaking of gross, well, Speaking of gross, Season 2 of
01:20:06
Monarch Legacy of Monsters maybe getting Well, Harry, Monarch
01:20:11
Legacy of Monsters Season 2 has teased Kong's Skull Island
01:20:16
playing a major role. This premieres February 27th of
01:20:20
2026. Now forget February being for
01:20:23
lovers in 2026. February is for Kaiju.
01:20:27
Did did did you guys all get a chance to watch the show?
01:20:31
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, sorry.
01:20:33
I liked it. I liked it a lot.
01:20:34
I thought it was. I thought it was a lot better
01:20:36
than I, yeah. On Apple TV, right?
01:20:39
Yeah, yeah, yeah I I was there is a lot more explain time slope
01:20:45
why King how stand in the ocean It's it's it I.
01:20:52
OK, cool. Yeah, I enjoyed it too.
01:20:54
I'm excited for it. I'm all for Kaiju.
01:20:58
Valentine's Day. Let's do it.
01:20:59
Yeah. Yeah.
01:21:00
So. So it will be the winter of
01:21:01
Kaiju this time. Yeah, this summer, yeah.
01:21:05
You got she. Do I know you're excited?
01:21:07
I'm very excited I saw this story.
01:21:09
I know you're excited. Let's talk A.
01:21:10
Couple days ago and I was like, oh, maybe we'll get a holodeck
01:21:13
with the forgotten moms feel little little Fay run feel.
01:21:18
Paramount taps fantasy film makers Jonathan Goldstein and
01:21:21
John Francis Daley, Protrex Next Frontier.
01:21:26
So this was announced in November, of course, just this
01:21:28
month. That's this month, few days ago.
01:21:31
We don't know the release date yet.
01:21:32
We don't really know anything else yet.
01:21:34
So will Quirk roll a nap 20 on persuasion?
01:21:37
The answer is yes, He always does.
01:21:40
He's got, I think he's got the lucky feet probably, even though
01:21:42
it's not a halfling. So you know, Yeah.
01:21:46
So this is two of my favorite things coming together, D&D,
01:21:53
which obviously have the shirt, and Star Trek.
01:21:55
I'm a big, I'm a big Trekkie. And so having the people who did
01:21:59
the DND movie did Honor Among Thieves to direct the next Star
01:22:03
Trek movie, I'm very excited about it because they know how
01:22:06
to do franchise stuff. They know how to do nerdy stuff.
01:22:08
They know how to be respectful about it.
01:22:10
They know how to do gelatinous cubes.
01:22:12
Like, exactly. And we could do more gelatinous
01:22:14
cube. We can do some, like, some, I
01:22:17
don't know, some changing stuff. I don't know.
01:22:19
It'd be fun. Yeah.
01:22:21
And then from what I remember, from what I was reading, they're
01:22:24
talking about it being unconnected from like the Kelvin
01:22:28
timeline or whatever. I don't know if that means it's
01:22:31
still in the Prime universe or we're doing like a full reboot
01:22:33
again. And.
01:22:35
What I read is that it's like it's not connected to anything.
01:22:38
It's not. Connected to anything, right.
01:22:40
So it sounds like so like, but I don't know if that means, hey,
01:22:42
we're setting it like the 27th century or something, or is it
01:22:47
just completely brand new take on it?
01:22:51
So I I I wonder, but I think it'll be fun.
01:22:53
So so this is. Really before we do it.
01:22:55
So so I'm asking this is disconnected the stuff that they
01:22:59
were because they they were just talking like I'm making a.
01:23:02
Yeah, it's disconnected from the Kelvin time.
01:23:05
Well, yeah, it is completely new.
01:23:06
And they're talking about doing completely new actors and like
01:23:09
new. So I don't know what, I still
01:23:11
don't know what that means. I don't know if we're supposed
01:23:13
to, but I'm, I'm afraid to regards that.
01:23:16
I hope this gets off the ground because we've been through this
01:23:19
before and it's just been like that.
01:23:22
We cancelled it. So we we need another Star Trek
01:23:25
movie to actually take off. So it's it's been far too long
01:23:31
since Beyond. For all the nerds out there,
01:23:33
yes, I know the Section 31 movie was terrible, so I'm not
01:23:37
counting it. Should you, how do you, how do
01:23:40
you like your Star Trek to taste?
01:23:43
Do you like having like brand new stories or do you like a
01:23:48
little bit of original recipe connecting to like Kirk and
01:23:53
Spock and all that? Like, what's your?
01:23:55
What's your Star Trek like? I'd like it more kind of in,
01:24:00
like in an era. Not really in an era we don't.
01:24:04
Yeah, I like new stuff. You know, you can mention like,
01:24:07
hey, you know, Kirk was here at some point or hey, that happened
01:24:11
at some point, but then just completely disconnected.
01:24:14
So still be in the same universe, still have all that
01:24:16
Laura still pull on like, OK, well, they have the consequences
01:24:19
of what happened in this show carrying over to here.
01:24:22
But you know, beyond that, I'm like, yeah, let's do new
01:24:24
characters, let's do new people. And I don't know, maybe Tuvak
01:24:27
shows up at some point, you know, that that kind of thing.
01:24:30
So. It's interesting cuz like I, I
01:24:32
always thought like I'm very much like an OG like original
01:24:35
recipe type Star Trek guy. Like I want that connection to
01:24:39
the original characters that I know and love and grew up
01:24:43
watching that sort of thing. That being said, one of my
01:24:46
favorite bits of Star Trek is Deep Space 9 and that had like
01:24:50
the least amount of connection. Yeah, well, I mean, it's also
01:24:53
objectively the best show, so you know, Yeah, there you.
01:24:56
Go right, there you go. So sorry to get your take on it.
01:24:59
Yes, yeah. So I think, I think more
01:25:01
original stuff and you know, that's my general opinion
01:25:04
anyway. So start crossing that line.
01:25:07
Start crossing that back into. Yeah, it is.
01:25:10
Really. It was good.
01:25:12
It was. It was good to have it at that
01:25:14
point so you could explore all of that.
01:25:16
I'm going to move on before we get on a tangent, because I
01:25:18
could do a whole show about Star Trek.
01:25:19
So all right, we have just one story in our memoriam block, so
01:25:27
we're celebrating a legend. For the fitting tribute,
01:25:30
Marvel's Black Panther icon Chadwick Boseman has received a
01:25:34
posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
01:25:37
I was Ryan Coogler and Viola Davis set to speak at the event.
01:25:42
The ceremony is set for November 20th of 2025.
01:25:46
Lost far too soon, but always in our hearts.
01:25:49
May he rest in the ancestral plane.
01:25:51
No, that's that's we lost Chadwick, not only just every
01:25:57
the man was a of actor because he had this is the very but I
01:26:04
mean, like you watch any movie, any character, he was a
01:26:08
character actor. Just go in and play himself as a
01:26:12
character or anything like that. Every to the point where almost
01:26:16
like Heath Ledger where he played Chadwick Boseman did and
01:26:20
he was he was again a chef's kiss.
01:26:23
Rest in peace. Be hard for to follow Chadwick
01:26:26
Boseman. Very much so.
01:26:28
He's definitely a hard actor and he will be missed.
01:26:31
Indeed. Well, Oh yeah, don't say.
01:26:36
He. All right, so that's the pulse
01:26:39
of what's dropping across galaxies, kingdoms and streaming
01:26:42
empires. But while the headlines keep us
01:26:45
buzzing, one story is dominating the conversation tonight, the AI
01:26:49
debate. So with shift gears for what's
01:26:52
coming soon to what's already shaking Hollywood right now in
01:26:56
the trend up. It's about to rage on.
01:26:58
About to rage on, ladies and gentlemen.
01:27:12
That's so cool. I appreciate that.
01:27:17
I put some more. All right, guys, let's talk.
01:27:20
We're going to talk both sides here, right?
01:27:22
So pro AI, anti AI. So we'll start with pro AI.
01:27:25
Dutch comedian Aline van der Velden developed Tilly Norwood
01:27:31
as an AI actress or company Particle 6.
01:27:34
Norwood argues Hollywood's backlash is claiming AI film
01:27:38
will create jobs rather than a limit.
01:27:41
She insists audience won't know the difference between AI and
01:27:45
productions. Her stance frames AI as a
01:27:49
democratizing for that lowers barrier for new creators.
01:27:53
Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed AI generated coming to Disney,
01:27:57
positioning the studio corporately bracing a He sees
01:28:01
the technology as inevitable and part of Disney's strategy to
01:28:04
expand its pipeline. Eiger suggests AI can deliver
01:28:09
more stories at scale competitive.
01:28:11
His comments normalize a as a director George Miller calls AI
01:28:16
the next Greek likening pass cinematic actively supports
01:28:21
Australia championing championing experiment.
01:28:24
Miller argues AI isn't a threat, but a bold new His optimism
01:28:29
casts as a frontier for innovation.
01:28:32
Now to the other side of the arc.
01:28:34
We're going to talk the cons. George Clooney warns that AI
01:28:38
actors will face the same uphill battle as true star power can't
01:28:42
be manufactured. He stresses that charisma,
01:28:45
cultural impact and audience can are intangible qualities.
01:28:49
While not hostile to any doubts it can solve Hollywood's star,
01:28:54
his skepticism highlights replaceable human spark.
01:28:58
We're telling now. Vince Gilligan's new sci-fi
01:29:01
series Pluribus proudly declares made by humans a direct
01:29:06
rejection of AI, and he openly states that AI undermines the
01:29:11
authentic storytelling. Gilligan believes audiences
01:29:14
crave human art, not machine generated.
01:29:18
His defiance makes him a an anti AI in the anti AI staking his
01:29:23
reputation on while Cluley and Gilligan star power and
01:29:27
authenticity can't because their resistance sets the stage for
01:29:31
the bigger question. What happens these humans
01:29:34
collide with the AI? So here's how it all comes
01:29:38
together. Together, these sharp divide
01:29:41
studios and some creators see AI as while others argue it erases
01:29:46
the human of art. The debate isn't just about
01:29:49
technology, it's about identity stardom with Disney and George
01:29:53
Miller hard lines. Hollywood is split, embracing
01:29:58
innovation and defending. So I've got a question for where
01:30:02
we do our debate in the trend up.
01:30:04
Is AI an in entertainment the next generation or does it risky
01:30:10
rate spark that? All right, now fight.
01:30:12
No, No. OK, Well, I would like to go
01:30:16
first, if that's OK. Is that OK?
01:30:18
Yeah, Don't work. All right.
01:30:19
So to me, it's it's hard. I don't think that we should, I
01:30:24
don't think that we should rely on AI to create people.
01:30:30
I don't think that's a good idea.
01:30:33
Also, I don't think we should rely on AI to create stories out
01:30:37
of whole flock. I think we should rely on AI to
01:30:41
help with our grammar. Some of us aren't great with
01:30:43
grammar. Hello, me or spelling or, you
01:30:47
know, the the smaller, like making it sound a little more
01:30:50
poppy. Make it, you know, that kind of
01:30:52
thing where you give it the like, Hey, the here's the thing
01:30:56
I wrote. Let's make it a little bit more
01:30:58
coherent because I've had three hours of sleep and no coffee,
01:31:03
but you know, something like that.
01:31:05
I don't think we should make a like AI be the, hey, let's do
01:31:09
this out of, you know, let's create a character out of AI and
01:31:12
then let's go ahead and let this AI tell this story because then
01:31:16
we're basically just bowing down to our AI overlord.
01:31:20
And I just don't think that that is in any way conducive to the
01:31:25
human race. I, I think that's where we start
01:31:28
extincting ourselves because if we start using a AI and
01:31:33
everything, what are, what are humans going to do?
01:31:37
I agree. I agree with Allah.
01:31:39
I think it's one of those things though where you can't be afraid
01:31:43
of change. And I think it's weird because
01:31:45
there's a lot of AI and people, it has the stigma and people are
01:31:50
just like no AI whatsoever. But it's it's just the way
01:31:53
technology is moving forward. And yes, it could change jobs,
01:31:59
but that's, that's kind of how technology works.
01:32:03
That's how things have been for the last century, you know, with
01:32:07
capitalism and whatnot. So you just have to be aware,
01:32:11
like there used to be a milkman. There's no longer milkman.
01:32:14
Like things change, you know, like that was a.
01:32:16
Jibe Yeah, I had a milkman I in in Idaho when when we lived in
01:32:21
Idaho, there was a guy that delivered our milk every like
01:32:24
every three days or something. So I get that and I do
01:32:27
understand that. And the innovation part of it
01:32:29
I'm absolutely on board with. But it's the moral part of it
01:32:33
where it let's create, let's let's mimic life.
01:32:37
I'm not on board with that because not and I'm not like I'm
01:32:41
not even saying this from a spiritual type thing.
01:32:44
I just don't like what are humans going to do?
01:32:46
We're eventually going to become what's that Looper or whatever,
01:32:51
that movie where people really like, they just download
01:32:54
themselves into new bodies. We're going to become that.
01:32:57
And that's where you lose empathy, you lose kindness
01:33:00
because nothing is temporary because you can just remake it.
01:33:06
But suddenly we're all in video games.
01:33:07
And I think that, you know, some people think we're already in
01:33:11
video game. Let's just, I mean, I think
01:33:13
there was a study that was like, no, no, we're not.
01:33:17
Right. But I, you know, I think that as
01:33:20
the technology gets so advanced, we, we risk becoming so numb to
01:33:27
all of it that we risk like, like from Serenity, from
01:33:32
Firefly, they just stopped wanting to live because
01:33:37
everything was done for them, everything.
01:33:40
Now it was a little bit more than that.
01:33:42
There was also a chemical involved and stuff.
01:33:43
But I'm not getting in the brass tacks of Serenity right now.
01:33:46
We are not. Again, we can have our full
01:33:48
Firefly Lore podcast at some point.
01:33:50
Yes, exactly. But what I'm saying is that it's
01:33:53
like there has to be a line, there has to be something that
01:33:57
we still celebrate the human spark and the human spirit.
01:34:02
I, I do think AI should be integrated into several things
01:34:07
so that maybe some jobs get a little bit easier.
01:34:10
I understand that, but I, I don't think that we should just,
01:34:13
hey, AI, just take over everything.
01:34:15
Let's do this. Let's, let's kind of do whatever
01:34:17
the fuck you want. So.
01:34:19
OK. Well, I guess guess I'll go
01:34:21
next. So I had a whole thing prepared.
01:34:26
Now I'm now rethinking it. But I am profoundly distrustful
01:34:31
of of AI generally. I do agree with what's the guy
01:34:38
with Vince Gilligan here. That whole thing where it does
01:34:44
with creativity specifically with storytelling specifically,
01:34:47
if you're making content for humans, there should be humans.
01:34:51
Making it like that's seems logical.
01:34:55
No, I understand. Yes, it can.
01:34:58
It can streamline things, it can make them easier.
01:35:00
It can, you know, help and, and whatever.
01:35:02
And I've you've used it before to, to do that.
01:35:05
But the, there, there, there's a danger, there's a risk to, to
01:35:10
doing that and to, to, to handing too much over to it.
01:35:14
Because yes, there is a, a larger discussion of large
01:35:18
corporations do not generally care about people or their
01:35:21
workers or their whatever. And so they're going to cut
01:35:24
corners and costs and whatever, whenever they can.
01:35:28
And if they can be like, hey, this AI could do it just as good
01:35:30
as this person. Well, it's going to fire this
01:35:32
person, you know, and then they don't have any other source of
01:35:35
income. This does hurt people directly.
01:35:37
Not to mention AI data centers have terrible environmental
01:35:42
impact. Powering them and pumping all
01:35:47
this water through them to cool all the servers and everything
01:35:50
is abhorrent is terrible for the environment.
01:35:54
Even worse than cars in in a lot of ways worse than, you know,
01:35:57
really guzzling cars in a lot of ways.
01:36:01
So there is an environmental impact, there is a moral impact
01:36:04
there, but at the same time it is kind of an inevitability
01:36:08
There is a a push right now for everything to be AI.
01:36:12
You know, this is the new big new thing it's the new whatever
01:36:15
you know it's like, oh look, the the cotton gin was invented
01:36:17
let's go use this everywhere same kind of thing.
01:36:19
So the real so, yeah. So that is kind of the, I, I
01:36:25
framed the debate. I do think there's an AI bubble
01:36:27
right now that is going to burst at some point soon.
01:36:30
And people are going to realize that they cannot deliver on the
01:36:32
promises that have been given to investors and things because
01:36:35
everybody's throwing money at, at AI companies and they're not
01:36:39
going to be able to live up to it.
01:36:41
But to, to conclude all of my thoughts, what I would want,
01:36:44
even since it is inevitable, I think that people should be
01:36:47
transparent about how things are made.
01:36:50
We need to have like a, I don't know what a good example is, but
01:36:54
basically have a before a movie or a TV show or whatever, you
01:36:59
can be like, hey, and have a warning.
01:37:01
Be like, you know, like you have no likeness, you know, or
01:37:03
whatever. You'd have something at the end
01:37:05
be like, hey, no likeness was generated of these people or
01:37:08
whatever do this or that's how AI was used.
01:37:12
And so I think we want to do something like that.
01:37:13
We can have a label on there and be like, hey, AI was used here,
01:37:16
wasn't used here. And then you can decide you can
01:37:20
be like, OK, AI was used here. I'm going to still watch this or
01:37:23
I'm going to still contribute to this, but I think that's the
01:37:26
smartest option is just to have people be transparent about what
01:37:30
they did and how they would, how it was made so you can make that
01:37:33
decision for yourself. Sorry.
01:37:35
So that's my conclusion. So I'm I'm skeptical of it, but
01:37:39
I do think it is inevitable regardless, though.
01:37:42
All right, wherever else. For me, I, I think it comes down
01:37:46
to where does AI lie when it comes to creativity?
01:37:51
You know, I, it's definitely beneficial for, for things in
01:37:55
the world. Like I'm glad I have a robot
01:37:58
that can map out my floor and vacuum for me.
01:38:01
Thank you AI for that. But like when it comes to a
01:38:07
movie that's all created in an AI, an actor that's all created
01:38:10
in AI, that feels dirty, that feels like the create creativity
01:38:16
is lacking and that we're not in.
01:38:21
It's not meant for us, but it was just meant to be created in
01:38:25
in who knows what the next step is.
01:38:27
You know what I keep thinking of?
01:38:28
I keep thinking of that one movie was a Beowulf where
01:38:33
everything, just like the faces, the animated version, everybody
01:38:37
just looked. Uncanny valley.
01:38:39
It was uncanny valley. Is that what it was so?
01:38:41
Weird. It was, it was just odd and I
01:38:44
didn't like it. But I mean, would I say you
01:38:47
should never have? I mean, would I say you should
01:38:50
never have animation and special effects?
01:38:53
No, I, I, I don't. I'm just concerned when it gets
01:38:56
to the point where it's like it's so beneficial, Like, how do
01:38:59
you not use it? Like when you're able to like
01:39:02
create special effects in one click.
01:39:05
Here we go. Boom, it's created.
01:39:07
And you know, it's all done with AI.
01:39:09
What do you think, Youngfield? Do you have an opinion on AI or
01:39:13
not AI? Absolutely do.
01:39:15
I'm going to start this off with AI when not used for evil is is
01:39:21
an amazing tool that there's so much that it so much benefit
01:39:26
that it can give you as far as calculation, as far as fixing
01:39:31
grammar as far as I mean, we, we use it to an extent to to help
01:39:38
us fix things. But when you make it when when
01:39:43
you use it where it is taking over the creative process it
01:39:47
it's very evident because there are telltale signs when AI is
01:39:51
creating things for you. I don't know if you guys have
01:39:53
seen Sora 2 and what it's capable of doing right?
01:39:59
I think my best friend is using it for her art.
01:40:03
She does like sculptures and like found art and different
01:40:06
things like that and she's just making them like dance, like
01:40:10
they're her puppets and it's creepy.
01:40:12
A app. Sora 2 is one of the creepiest
01:40:16
things out there now. Right now, the resolution on the
01:40:18
videos that it makes are very low res.
01:40:21
That's why you tend to see it be like on a Ring camera or you
01:40:25
tend to see it like on a security camera.
01:40:27
But that just is going to show that when Sora 3 comes out, it's
01:40:31
going to be like you and me, right?
01:40:33
Like this things are going to be indistinguishable from AI.
01:40:37
And what's scary about that is then you're going to have people
01:40:42
who are making AI videos that are, you know, making people,
01:40:47
making people like us say things that we didn't, didn't say.
01:40:50
And it's going to look like that's happening and things are
01:40:53
going to be indistinguishable. That is absolutely evil.
01:40:56
And, and, and that is what some of these people want to, to do.
01:41:01
They they're, they're, they're, they're kind of doing this whole
01:41:05
in Japan, there is a lonely, there's a loneliness epidemic
01:41:09
all around the world. But I mean, there's a loneliness
01:41:11
epidemic. This particular thing that they
01:41:13
do in Japan where between robots and these pillows like these,
01:41:18
these whole things where people are, you're having relationships
01:41:21
with AI and inanimate objects. And that is not healthy because
01:41:26
a robot and a computer doesn't is it?
01:41:29
It does not substitute human interaction just because it
01:41:32
gives you exactly what you want. And that's kind of where they're
01:41:35
going with wanting to use AI in these movies is substituting
01:41:40
human interaction and human feeling and emotion with
01:41:45
artificial means. And I, I think like again, use
01:41:49
AI as a tool, use it as something that enhances
01:41:53
something that you're doing, but doesn't replace the things that
01:41:56
are there. You guys know what I mean?
01:41:58
I, I, I'm very pushing pool when it comes to AI because of things
01:42:03
like that, because that kind of thing scares me because
01:42:07
eventually this is how Skynet happens.
01:42:10
You know, like just to take it to an extreme, right, Like
01:42:12
basically this is where AI becomes to a point where it, it,
01:42:17
it starts getting to a point where it's indistinguishable
01:42:20
from humans. You put that in a robot that can
01:42:23
control itself and, and, and it's problematic.
01:42:26
So that's getting into hypotheticals.
01:42:28
But I mean, when it comes to creativity, when it comes to
01:42:31
art, AI is stealing from other people's art and, and from their
01:42:36
arts of the style and everything like that.
01:42:39
And it is taking work from actors.
01:42:42
When you make an AI character that is acting in a movie, when
01:42:46
you can have an actress or an actor who spent years at their
01:42:51
craft and is being butt out by a robot that can do whatever the
01:42:55
hell you want just by typing it in.
01:42:57
So I, I don't believe in using it in that form and in that
01:43:01
sense, but I do believe in using AI as a tool in order to enhance
01:43:07
or advance things you're doing. With one caveat.
01:43:11
The gaming industry is talking about replacing QA testers with
01:43:17
with AI. And I also don't believe in that
01:43:19
cause. Yeah, a computer's gonna no.
01:43:21
Fuck that, but don't because again, as my the the just main
01:43:27
main thing, if you're making art for humans, let humans make the
01:43:30
art. Yeah.
01:43:31
So that's, that's where I'm going to leave it just because
01:43:34
it's, we're already running, running long and I don't want to
01:43:36
run any longer. But yeah, I, I, I, this is
01:43:40
something that I have a lot of concern for.
01:43:44
And I just hope that the people in charge are being guided by
01:43:48
humanity and not just by we want more, which is what a lot of
01:43:52
people are being guided by. Unfortunately, I think they're
01:43:55
being guided by money, but we'll see, right?
01:43:58
The we, we, the public have a lot of power, so.
01:44:02
So let is let, let's let's let's move on here guys.
01:44:05
We have one last segment that we got to cover with a couple of
01:44:07
things that we got to talk about here.
01:44:09
Any last thoughts before we move on guys?
01:44:11
Not. Not that we have time for.
01:44:16
All right, well, ladies and gentlemen, sorry I got to go
01:44:19
down here. We've speculated, confirmed, and
01:44:22
talk trends. Now let's wrap this thing up
01:44:24
with the geek and update Pop Culture Pulse goes to live.
01:44:39
We go well, ladies and gentlemen, I just want to make
01:44:42
sure I wasn't muted. Ladies and gentlemen, we've got
01:44:45
a lot of things to talk about. We're going to try and jump
01:44:47
through here. But before we get into all the
01:44:50
things we're going to be at, let's talk about where we've
01:44:52
been. James, this weekend you were
01:44:57
were were running an event with our good friends, the Delong Fam
01:45:01
cosplay. So I'm going to bring them onto
01:45:03
the screen here. Ladies and gentlemen, please
01:45:06
welcome our con correspondents, our friend of the show.
01:45:10
Ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together for Sandra
01:45:12
Belong. Stay together.
01:45:19
One clap, you get the one clap yes.
01:45:23
Andrew and I hung out for a good portion of the day of thanks to
01:45:27
set geeks. We were at the Secret Stash
01:45:31
Pokémon event here in Sacramento.
01:45:34
It was it was pretty fun. Had a good old time.
01:45:36
I, I didn't realize how many Pokémon enthusiasts were out
01:45:42
there, and not just at this event that we were at.
01:45:45
There were three total Pokémon events in Sacramento and I from
01:45:51
what I heard, they all went really well.
01:45:54
It was crazy how many Pokémon people were there and they were
01:45:57
there all day. I saw people when it when it
01:45:59
opened at 10:00 and when I had to leave at 1:00, they were
01:46:02
still there. So it was a great time.
01:46:04
Pokémon fans came out in droves, buying, selling, trading,
01:46:08
breaking open packs. It was awesome.
01:46:11
And SAT Geeks did pretty well too.
01:46:14
There was a lot of kids and we were supporting the kids,
01:46:16
supporting the nerd community. It was great.
01:46:19
We did a little, what do we call like a scavenger hunt, Sandra.
01:46:22
Yeah, we did a scavenger hunt. Where everyone went around and
01:46:26
did sketch and you got to pick from prizes.
01:46:29
A lot of people wanted to pick the random Pokémon cards, which
01:46:33
of course everyone wanted to do. And if you just came by the the
01:46:37
booth and you were just like a cute kid.
01:46:40
Ashley, who's also on the board who's girl mode official in the
01:46:43
chat, was giving out Pokémon cards.
01:46:47
She was sharing her personal collection.
01:46:49
And not just any Pokémon cards. They were right, Sandra.
01:46:52
They were vintage. They're vintage Pokémon cards.
01:46:56
Cards from when we were kids. Yes, she gave Bruce one of those
01:47:00
cards and he was like, oh, that's cool.
01:47:02
And he brought it home to Jeff and he's like, this is from the
01:47:05
90s. Like, I know.
01:47:07
He's like, just take care of it. And some of this artwork is
01:47:11
amazing. Just looking at a lot of this
01:47:13
like Pokémon. Yeah, yeah, I'm looking at yeah,
01:47:15
yeah, yeah. It's like, you know, this is how
01:47:18
creative some people can get. Like, yeah, the Pikachu
01:47:20
skateboarding, you had to be that was dressed up like a
01:47:23
Charizard. That's that's really cool.
01:47:25
Yeah, that was the booth that was right next to Sat Geeks.
01:47:28
I didn't catch her name, but she was really sweet lady, really
01:47:31
nice, very, very talented. And I have to throw it out there
01:47:37
that all this video and pictures we see were taken by our son
01:47:42
because he was wandering around and I told him you have a phone
01:47:45
now, go get me pictures, go get me videos.
01:47:50
So all this you see he did himself.
01:47:52
And anything you saw the SEC geeks posted, he took that
01:47:56
content as well. Nice, he's pretty good at
01:47:59
centering pictures. Yeah, he's learned a thing.
01:48:02
Or 2A. Little blurry on some of them,
01:48:04
but hey, he'll get back. Yeah, I did delete a lot of the
01:48:08
blurry ones before he sent them out to people.
01:48:10
So those were the the one, the ones that slipped through the
01:48:14
cracks. It was a, It was a really fun
01:48:16
event and it's a, it was a good community event.
01:48:20
Actually, somebody came up to me.
01:48:21
I think it was Ethan from that Wonton.
01:48:24
He at that Wonton, he sells Pokémon.
01:48:27
He was a vendor there, but he met us at a weekend blender here
01:48:31
in Sacramento like a year ago. Now he's like, hey, this isn't
01:48:34
starting. I met you over at the Sunrise
01:48:36
Mall. You know, thanks for coming
01:48:38
back. And we hung out, we chatted, it
01:48:40
was cool. And he's a vendor and he was
01:48:42
having a great old time. He had three tables.
01:48:44
He was selling Pokémon like crazy.
01:48:46
So it was nice to see that Secret Stash was bringing that
01:48:49
community together. So exciting.
01:48:52
That's really cool. I'm, I'm, I'm very happy that,
01:48:55
you know, there was another good, another good event,
01:48:58
another successful event that that was sat geeks putting this
01:49:02
on or they were just sponsored. We were partnered with them, so
01:49:07
we had a booth that was doing promotions and stuff.
01:49:11
Yeah, it was good times. It was good turn out.
01:49:12
Good turn out. We got another event coming up
01:49:15
right, Sandra? Yeah, we will.
01:49:18
As in company wise yes, but I know you can't make it.
01:49:23
Yeah. And we've got two more set geeks
01:49:25
things that we're going to talk about here.
01:49:27
But the next event on the schedule that we have coming up
01:49:30

01:49:56

01:50:57
for me. Was this inspired by Dimension
01:50:59
20? You know what?
01:51:00
If you were here, you could ask Frisco yourself.
01:51:02
Damn it. That's pretty funny.
01:51:05
Yeah, Frisco. Frisco is a great dude.
01:51:07
Happy birthday to Frisco. It'll be a good celebration.
01:51:10
He has the funniest themes when it comes to events for sad
01:51:15
geeks. So this is.
01:51:17
Birthday Frisco, you sound awesome.
01:51:18
I'd like to meet you. Again, come.
01:51:21
I know this OK? You don't have to keep
01:51:23
reiterating it. I feel bad already.
01:51:25

01:51:27
