00:04:09
Let's do this all right well, fun, fun ready to go here ladies
00:04:23
and gentlemen we're coming in hot with all the Marvel news.
00:04:26
It's time from straight from Jay Jonah, all the fun things from
00:04:31
Jay Jonah Jameson. So let's, let's do this guy's
00:04:34
some exciting Deadpool rumors. I know I'm excited about this.
00:04:40
Industry scooper Daniel Reichman has reported that Marvel Studios
00:04:44
is moving forward with X Force. This is presumably the same
00:04:47
project that Ryan Reynolds is working on that he's been
00:04:50
working on. It's been reported that a new
00:04:52
MCU will be created in the wake of Avenger Secret Wars, serving
00:04:56
as a soft reboot for the franchise.
00:04:58
It's possible that the multiverse will still exist and
00:05:02
that X force would play out in a parallel reality.
00:05:06
So I mean, I guess the idea is it's it's position that
00:05:09
Deadpool's it it as a supporting player in the film separate from
00:05:12
Jake Schreyer's oncoming X-Men reboot.
00:05:15
So it's it's going to be living in the same universe with
00:05:17
something separate. I mean, that would kind of make
00:05:20
sense for Deadpool, right? To Oh yeah, to find a way to
00:05:23
like do his own thing and be comedic without having the
00:05:26
baggage of X-Men MCU drama stuff happening in like 616.
00:05:34
So finding a way to leave him in his own universe but continue
00:05:38
stories would be kind of smart. Right.
00:05:41
I, I, I love the idea. I know that Ryan Reynolds has
00:05:44
been working on a script for for the 4th Deadpool movie and that
00:05:48
the idea of it being somewhere in the MCU, but being something
00:05:53
that's still separate and, you know, him being in his own
00:05:56
universe 'cause he's like, Oh well, I, I'm Marvel Jesus, but I
00:06:00
also have my own universe to save, you know, something like
00:06:02
that along those lines. So as of right now, and I, I
00:06:07
don't know if this is a scoop, but it's appearing that the
00:06:11
Deadpool movie is Ryan Reynolds top priority once he wraps his
00:06:14
Marvel Cinematic Universe return in Avengers Doomsday.
00:06:17
What's crazy is, and this is what the article was saying is,
00:06:21
is that you know, it's but it's it's him working on this after
00:06:26
doomsday. What's crazy is he's already
00:06:28
said he's not in Doomsday. So they may have like
00:06:31
accidentally scooped out that that Deadpool is going to be in
00:06:34
Doomsday as much as he's I. Was thinking the same thing.
00:06:37
Yeah, like he's he hasn't been announced, but he also hasn't
00:06:40
been, I don't know, not announced.
00:06:42
Well, he's he. Said himself, he's, he keeps
00:06:45
saying that Deadpool's not going to be in Doomsday.
00:06:48
And I mean, that isn't, that's not to say he won't be in Secret
00:06:51
Wars, but I mean, at the same time he's going to sing.
00:06:53
He's not going to be in these films.
00:06:56
That's just like every other actor that's been saying I'm not
00:07:00
going to be in such and such, right?
00:07:01
So I mean, like, it may just be him playing coy.
00:07:05
I don't think Disney is going to leave that money on the table
00:07:08
given how successful Deadpool and Wolverine were.
00:07:11
Right. Right.
00:07:12
Yeah. So of course, Avengers Doomsday
00:07:14
hitting theaters December 18th. Hopefully we get some more some
00:07:18
more Deadpool in the mix. Oh yeah, we definitely are.
00:07:22
All right, so I'm going to move on here and, and again, I'm very
00:07:26
excited about this. I, I can't think of anybody
00:07:28
better than what I'm about to say right here.
00:07:31
From Green Lantern to Black Panther.
00:07:35
Oh, the man with the beautiful eyes.
00:07:37
One intriguing rumor claims that new DC star Aaron Pierre, who's
00:07:41
going to be playing Jon Stewart in the DC series Lanterns is
00:07:44
being molded to play the next Black Panther.
00:07:47
Insider Daniel Reichman has reported that Marvel Studios has
00:07:51
met with the actor, including who's been in Rebel Ridge.
00:07:55
He's on set. The star in Lanterns, Aaron
00:07:58
Pierre, He's, he's going to be he.
00:08:00
They're looking at him to play the new Black Panther in
00:08:02
Avengers Secret War. Why I'm you know my stance on
00:08:08
Aaron Pierre in his, in his absolutely fucking dreamy eyes,
00:08:11
right? The plan is to introduce the new
00:08:13
Black Panther in the 2027 movie, suggesting that the Russos have
00:08:16
moved from T'challa's return from Doomsday to Secret Wars
00:08:21
again. What are your thoughts on the
00:08:23
potential of Aaron Pierre taking over his T'challa?
00:08:26
I I loved Rebel Ridge. So good.
00:08:29
I'm so excited for Green Lantern or Lanterns.
00:08:32
Lanterns. Yeah.
00:08:32
I didn't even know you could do this.
00:08:35
You know, I figured, OK, he's ADC guy now, you know, he's
00:08:39
gonna be Jon Stewart. But having him play Black
00:08:43
Panther wasn't even on, like, my bingo card, so to speak.
00:08:46
So knowing that this is a possibility, like, yeah, let's
00:08:50
do it. Yeah, I, I, I think it's
00:08:52
amazing. It's Baron Pierre, like I said,
00:08:57
is a really good actor. I'm sure he could pull off an
00:09:00
Africanese accent 'cause that's the accent that they do for
00:09:03
Afrikaans, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm sure he can pull that off.
00:09:09
Now what they're saying right now is given that the Secret
00:09:14
Wars movie is supposed to be in Battle World, it's a perfect
00:09:17
opportunity to try and age up to Saunt.
00:09:19
So he's going to end up being to Charla Junior, who we met in
00:09:22
Wakanda for at the end of Wakanda Forever.
00:09:24
I mean, this would be a good way to age him up and say, OK, this
00:09:27
is to salt in another universe and he's up again.
00:09:31
My whole big thing is I I'm still waiting to see Malice show
00:09:34
up. And for those who don't know,
00:09:38
Malice is a major character in the Black Panther world.
00:09:41
Malice is what's her name? Why?
00:09:46
Why am I forgetting her name right now?
00:09:49
Oh, I, I know you're talking about it.
00:09:50
Basically it's it's Tucson's mom.
00:09:52
Yeah, it's Lupita Nyong'o's character, and she there's a
00:09:57
fall from grace. I wanted to be something that's
00:09:59
more nuanced than what it was in the comics.
00:10:02
You know, she's just like a scorned lover in the comics, but
00:10:04
it's like, you know, like make it something where she, she is
00:10:09
almost how in, in the first Black Panther movie, she is
00:10:13
forced to kind of go the wrong direction and probably in favor
00:10:18
of her son's life. And she becomes Malice and she
00:10:22
becomes a villain. So I mean, I, I, I want to see
00:10:24
that because Malice is such a good character.
00:10:28
Just her origins are kind of weak and and I'd like them to
00:10:31
upgrade those origins. Yeah, and yeah.
00:10:34
And honestly, this could easily be a Black Panther from another
00:10:38
universe, right? You know, they've already set
00:10:41
the precedent where we can have different actors playing the
00:10:43
same character, you know, from different universes.
00:10:46
So we can easily find a way to bring him in or or even just
00:10:50
tell stories right from another universe.
00:10:52
Right. And I guess what they're afraid
00:10:54
of, what people are afraid of is that people will be offended
00:10:57
that you're replacing Chadwick Boseman.
00:10:58
But I mean, again, we mentioned this when, when, you know, rest
00:11:01
in peace when Chadwick passed, that Chadwick Boseman was a
00:11:05
consummate actor. He would have wanted somebody to
00:11:07
replace that character. Yeah, if you can get like Ryan
00:11:12
Coogler to sign off on this and make it happen, I think that'll
00:11:16
smooth over everything. Right, right now, of course,
00:11:20
like we mentioned in this, this may be a good opportunity is
00:11:23
after Secret Wars, the MCU is going to be getting rebooted
00:11:26
anyways, right? So I mean, if we're going that
00:11:28
direction and we're rebooting, maybe we get a new take on on
00:11:33
older T'challa. And it doesn't necessarily have
00:11:35
to be Tucson, it can be regular T'challa, just from another
00:11:39
universe in the consolidation after battle world.
00:11:42
Regular T'challa from another universe, but with a green ring
00:11:46
on his hand. Yeah, I know right?
00:11:48
Throwing it out. There right, right.
00:11:49
And on top of that, that gives us an opportunity to get some of
00:11:52
those stories between him and Storm, which again, we're all
00:11:54
waiting on. So I'm, I'm I'm all for it.
00:11:57
Aaron Pierre is a great actor. I would love to see his his take
00:12:00
on T'challa and whether he brings his A game and can I.
00:12:06
I wouldn't want him to outdo Chadwick Boseman, but he can
00:12:10
bring something to the role that's new and at the same time
00:12:13
gives a lot of respect to Chadwick's portrayal of the
00:12:17
character. 100%. All right, so let's go ahead and
00:12:22
move on to the next story here. The series Without Fear is back.
00:12:29
Marvel Television has officially kicked off the next chapter of
00:12:33
Hell's Kitchen with the first trailer for Daredevil Born Again
00:12:36
Season 2. The trailer also features the
00:12:38
return of Jessica Jones, and, interestingly, Foggy Nelson
00:12:43
shows up. I was so excited the morning.
00:12:48
Yeah. What was it yesterday morning
00:12:49
when this trailer came out? I put it in.
00:12:51
It was yesterday. Yeah.
00:12:52
I put it in our group chat and I was like, did you guys all see
00:12:54
Foggy in the trailer? This is a trailer.
00:12:59
It's got to be a flashback. I mean, it's probably going to
00:13:01
be a flashback, sadly, but again, in in the comic books, in
00:13:06
the storyline that they're following right now, Foggy fakes
00:13:09
his death. Yeah, but it's hard to think
00:13:13
that death. I don't know, I mean, you, you
00:13:16
could do it if you, if you hire bullseye to do something,
00:13:19
remember that dude is, is pinpoint.
00:13:22
You know, he could easily have hit Foggy with something that
00:13:24
knocked him out and or, or like, you know, hit him with like a a
00:13:28
dart that had like a an agent that slowed his heart down.
00:13:31
I mean, there's it's comic books, right?
00:13:34
There's always a chance somebody can come back to life.
00:13:37
Yeah, because The thing is, is that that's something in the
00:13:40
comics that has fooled Matt before.
00:13:42
OK, I was. That's what I was going to say.
00:13:44
I'm like, how do you fool Daredevil with all his enhanced
00:13:47
senses? Yeah, it's something in the
00:13:49
comics that they've done. They've, they've, they've in
00:13:52
order to fake someone's death, they like, slowed the heartbeat
00:13:54
down to nothing. And Matt thinks they're dead,
00:13:58
but the the, the heartbeat is just so slow that it's not that
00:14:01
he's not picking up on it. Interesting.
00:14:04
Yeah, so I, I, I want to say that's how, that's how they
00:14:06
faked Foggy's death in the comics.
00:14:09
Yeah, I did enjoy this trailer. It looked trippy with the whole
00:14:13
like mask flashing, you know, of like Mayor Kingpin, that sort of
00:14:18
thing. It was really odd to to see that
00:14:20
I wasn't expecting it. And then even Daredevil smile.
00:14:24
I'm like, is that part of the part of like the the flashing
00:14:27
mask thing? It was like a Max Headroom
00:14:29
thing. I didn't get it.
00:14:31
I didn't get what was happening. Max Headroom, the majority of
00:14:34
our audience is going to understand that.
00:14:36
But if you don't look up shit from the 80s kids.
00:14:41
Yeah, exactly. Oh, and Pepsi.
00:14:44
You might look up Pepsi. I know, right, Matt, Matt in the
00:14:47
in the chat, Matt Aguilar in the chat.
00:14:48
As someone who really is over that character in the series, I
00:14:52
kind of hope it's a flashback and not a fake out.
00:14:54
I hear you, man. I the the whole thing is, I
00:14:59
Foggy is such a pivotal character to Matt and and
00:15:05
they're they're passing that off in other ways.
00:15:09
It, I mean, again, I wouldn't be upset if it was a flashback, but
00:15:13
if it's, if it is Foggy coming back, 'cause remember, Foggy
00:15:17
switched sides and worked for the Kingpin after that.
00:15:20
And it was kind of like a big deal because Foggy completely
00:15:23
betrayed Matt and it was such a, such a problem.
00:15:27
So I mean, again, you kind of do that heel turn, right And for,
00:15:31
for, for all of our wrestling fans out there, you do that heel
00:15:35
turn and and we get Foggy kind of like breaking his heart, you
00:15:40
know what I mean? I think they'd have to do a lot
00:15:43
of work to get it to to get to get it where Foggy comes back,
00:15:48
you know, But honestly, if you think about it like, you know,
00:15:51
we have Foggy and then we have, what's her name, Karen, Karen
00:15:56
and Jessica's coming back and then potential other, you know,
00:16:00
defenders coming back there. Honestly, there might not be a
00:16:03
lot of room for Foggy in this show moving forward.
00:16:07
Again, so Foggy, if if he goes to the other side and he's
00:16:10
working for the Kingpin, that adds a lot more kind of like
00:16:13
pathos and nuance to the motivations and it that would
00:16:18
set Matt over the edge, right? Like that.
00:16:21
That's one of those things where Matt has this mission where
00:16:23
he's, you know, gathering an army to fight Kingpin and then
00:16:27
you find out Foggy's working for the Kingpin.
00:16:29
That would destabilize Matt. Yeah.
00:16:33
And, and that would be one of those things where, oh, I have
00:16:36
this, I have this mission, I know what I'm doing.
00:16:38
And then Foggy's back in the picture and Foggy's working for
00:16:41
the Kingpin. That would like, again, that
00:16:44
that adds kind of a level of nuance to Daredevil's character.
00:16:49
Like now he has. He's conflicted, right.
00:16:51
And that's always something good in a lot of television writing.
00:16:54
I also want Mike Coulter to come back.
00:16:56
Mike Coulter said he's not coming back to the show or that
00:16:58
he hadn't gotten a call when we saw him at at La Comic Con.
00:17:02
But again, could have been a swerve.
00:17:05
I think Andrew Garfield has set the precedent where you're
00:17:09
allowed to lie to the media. Yeah, straight up.
00:17:13
And you won't get in trouble. Like as long as you don't do
00:17:16
anything to make Kevin Feige upset, you can do whatever you
00:17:20
want, like, and that's that's how it goes.
00:17:22
But. Yeah, yeah.
00:17:24
Again, I'm, I'm very excited for everything that's coming back in
00:17:27
in this. And again, I think the only
00:17:29
reason just because in the trailer is because it was
00:17:32
everybody knew that Jessica Jones was coming back.
00:17:34
We saw all the pictures. So it's kind of like, OK, well,
00:17:37
we're not going to hide this. We're not going to make it like
00:17:39
something, but what? We can hide the rest of the
00:17:41
defenders because nobody's seen them on set yet.
00:17:44
You know what is coming back is a synopsis for this show.
00:17:48
That's because here's the official OPSIS Synopsis Without
00:17:52
Fear synopsis. Here's the official OPSIS
00:17:56
synopsis without Fear Synopsis Synopsis Across 8 gripping
00:18:03
episodes, survival, resistance, and redemption collide as the
00:18:07
battle for the soul of New York begins.
00:18:10
In Season 2, Mayor Wilson Fisk crushes New York City under foot
00:18:15
as he hunts down Public Enemy #1 the Hell's Kitchen vigilante
00:18:19
known as Daredevil. The series is confirmed to
00:18:24
return to Disney Plus on March 24th.
00:18:27
Dude, it's not that far away. It's not.
00:18:30
It is not at all, at all that far away.
00:18:34
And honestly, there's there's going to be a lot of shows
00:18:36
coming out between now and then where the times are going to fly
00:18:39
by. Absolutely it it is.
00:18:42
Have you started watching Wonder Man yet?
00:18:44
No, it's it just dropped. Today, man, I don't know if
00:18:47
you've seen it already, because a lot of times you see it
00:18:49
before. I do.
00:18:50
I'm, I'm excited to go watch it. I'm behind on a lot of shows
00:18:53
right now. I haven't, I haven't watched
00:18:55
Percy Jackson. I haven't watched Night of the
00:18:58
Seven Kingdoms. I haven't watched.
00:19:00
There's another show that I know I'm supposed to be watching that
00:19:02
I haven't watched yet. Wonder Man comes out today.
00:19:05
I've got so free stuff. Free Bert also came out on
00:19:08
Netflix. It's Bert Kreischer show, yeah,
00:19:12
it's only 6 episodes and they're like sitcom half hour.
00:19:14
So you're good. You're.
00:19:15
Good. I mean, I got to check that out
00:19:16
too, but I mean like there's so much I'm behind on and and I've
00:19:19
got to like catch up to these shows.
00:19:21
I'm hearing like 9 of the 7 kingdoms is absolutely amazing
00:19:23
so I definitely need to get on that.
00:19:25
Anyways, before I go off on a tangent, let's let's.
00:19:28
Which I already did. Let's let's move on to the next
00:19:30
story here. My Spidey sense is tingling, but
00:19:35
not in a good way. A new report suggests that
00:19:37
Spider Man Brand New Day could feature a character's death
00:19:41
that's even bigger than and far more shocking than anyone
00:19:45
expected. The upcoming sequel is shaping
00:19:47
up to be a major crossover event.
00:19:49
Tom Holland is back once again as Peter Parker, marking his 7th
00:19:53
appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
00:19:55
He's joined by Mark Ruffalo, returning for his 11th turn as
00:19:59
Bruce Banner scooper. Alex Perez of Cosmic Circus
00:20:03
Responds responded on X to a fan wondering whether Disney could
00:20:07
kill off. Tobey Mcquire's Spider Man and
00:20:11
Avengers Doomsday due to Sony's ownership of the character,
00:20:14
Perez dropped a draw Dropping, dropping tease.
00:20:18
It's just for everybody to know what that, that that tweet was.
00:20:20
He goes, they've killed Tom Holland twice.
00:20:25
He quickly follow up with a correction, adding I mean once.
00:20:30
I think he's baiting and switching.
00:20:33
Honestly, you don't really get that from scoopers.
00:20:35
But I mean there's rumors that you know, Tobey Maguire and the
00:20:40
rumors that the Tobey Maguire universe is opens up Doomsday
00:20:46
fighting the X-Men universe. And so everybody was thinking
00:20:51
that Tobey Maguire is going to lose.
00:20:53
But we shall we shall see how how that goes.
00:20:56
But killing off Tom Holland spider man, that's kind of
00:21:00
interesting. I.
00:21:02
Don't know how I feel about that.
00:21:03
I mean, it, it could be, it could also be that Tom Holland
00:21:07
wants to pursue other projects and he's like, hey, this is a
00:21:10
way to Get Me Out of here and you guys can recast Spider Man,
00:21:13
right? Yes.
00:21:15
Now he's like, I'm making Odyssey money, now I'm making
00:21:18
Christopher Nolan. Money now.
00:21:20
And I'm ready to put this, put the spandex away.
00:21:23
I'm ready to move on. So you never know.
00:21:25
And The thing is, is that I wouldn't be against if they
00:21:29
brought Tobey Maguire back as an older Peter Parker, you know,
00:21:34
like Peter Parker as a college professor, like older Peter
00:21:37
Parker where he's mentoring Miles Morales and Miles Morales
00:21:42
is our Spider man going forward. Yes, exactly.
00:21:45
This would leave room for a Miles Morales.
00:21:48
Right. Like, you know, I.
00:21:50
Swing into the scene. Right.
00:21:51
Because as of right now, Tom Holland's Peter Parker would be
00:21:55
around the same age that we would expect, at least character
00:21:58
wise that we'd expect Miles Morales to be.
00:22:01
And I like the idea of, OK, since we're doing the shake up,
00:22:05
if Tom Holland is like, I'm trying to get out of all of this
00:22:09
and he's bowing out. OK, now we have, I guarantee
00:22:12
you, Secret Wars. We're getting Miles Morales,
00:22:14
whether we know it or not. And Miles Morales comes in and
00:22:18
you have Tobey Maguire as a redeemed Spider Man within this
00:22:23
universe coming in and being that almost that Peter B Parker
00:22:29
character, but not like more the the Peter Parker in the comics
00:22:33
where he's a college professor. He's married to Mary Jane.
00:22:35
More of a mentor. Right.
00:22:37
And he's, and he's Miles's mentor.
00:22:40
So like, I, I, I think that that would be good because that also
00:22:44
puts Toby back into these movies, but also in a way where
00:22:48
he's not doing all the action, you know what I mean?
00:22:50
Yeah. Totally, totally.
00:22:52
And if you think about it, Tom Holland, he's been in this will
00:22:56
be 4 Spider Man's civil War, end game Infinity War.
00:23:01
That's like 7 Doomsday now potentially, you know, 8 movies.
00:23:06
That's a lot of that's a lot of Spider man it.
00:23:09
It absolutely is. And again, I think that it's a
00:23:12
good idea. I think it is a good idea if
00:23:15
you're going to move in that direction and you want to focus
00:23:18
on Miles Morales. You know, if we kill off Tom
00:23:23
Holland, and again, that's because he wants to, you know,
00:23:26
he's a young dude. He wants to he wants to start
00:23:28
getting into more stuff than just Spider Man and be known for
00:23:30
more than just Spider Man even though he's killed Spider Man
00:23:33
like in in in the best possible way.
00:23:37
That's interesting. Yeah, I think Tobey Maguire
00:23:40
would be a good way to bring in a fan favorite character and
00:23:45
have him be that mentor character in the universe again,
00:23:48
him married to Mary Jane Watson, and that also brings in their
00:23:53
daughter. Yeah, yeah.
00:23:55
Interesting. All right.
00:23:57
Right, so, so again, there's, there's, there's a lot that you
00:24:01
can do with this. Personally, I'm, I'm hoping to
00:24:04
see Mogil O'Hara on screen because as much as I love Miles
00:24:09
Morales, he's my Spider man. Miguel O'Hara was a dude I read
00:24:13
in the 90s and I absolutely love how unhinged and badass he is.
00:24:16
So. Yeah, I got it.
00:24:19
I got it right. Stranger Things is over.
00:24:22
We know Sadie Sink is going to be in this movie.
00:24:25
Maybe we go get Caleb McLaughlin, who played Lucas.
00:24:31
He's been saying he wants to play Miles Morales too.
00:24:33
I. Haven't played Miles Morales,
00:24:36
how great was? That I want to hear.
00:24:37
I want to hear him speak Spanish with a perfect Puerto Rican
00:24:40
accent. Yeah, right.
00:24:42
And then on top of that, if Sadie Sync ends up being Mayday
00:24:46
Parker, that'd be amazing. Just throwing it out there.
00:24:50
Yeah. Do what you want, Frankie.
00:24:51
Yeah, like I said, you know this would be a perfect opportunity
00:24:54
to bring in Mayday Parker. So all right.
00:24:57
Well, the question in all of this before we jump into the
00:25:00
next segment, is this the end of Peter Parker's era as Spider
00:25:04
Man? We only have time to tell and
00:25:07
hopefully we'll know more by the end of the year.
00:25:10
Well, ladies and gentlemen, that is it for straight from Jay.
00:25:13
Jonah, we've got one story on the DC side, so let's jump into
00:25:17
that. It's time for watching the
00:25:20
Watchtower. Flipping universes.
00:25:23
I like it. Flipping.
00:25:25
The universe is talking about flipping.
00:25:28
So excited for this. James Gunn gives DC fans exactly
00:25:32
what they've been asking for. The new Supergirl TV spot is
00:25:35
here and tucked inside of it is our best look at look yet at
00:25:40
Lobo. What remains a mystery is how
00:25:43
big Lobo's role actually is. Is he just crashing the party
00:25:48
for one movie or is he the star of something so much bigger?
00:25:53
I don't know if you saw Jason Momoa on in his announcement on
00:25:59
on Instagram. Didn't he just say like finally?
00:26:02
Like finally he. Said he says finally, but it's
00:26:05
him walking slowly, walking into the into the light and you get a
00:26:09
full picture of what the way he looks and then it ends with him
00:26:13
riding the bike. Oh nice.
00:26:16
Right now I was like, oh dude, that's so dope.
00:26:18
That's such a good way to like we got the tease in the first,
00:26:21
in that first trailer, right? And it was like a 2 second
00:26:24
tease. But then like him putting on his
00:26:27
Instagram, you know, a full look up of Lobo and then him riding
00:26:32
the bike. The picture on the screen right
00:26:33
now is actually him getting ready to ride away on the bike.
00:26:37
Yeah, I think the person most excited for this is Jason Momoa.
00:26:42
He has to be. Yeah, I think he is super
00:26:44
excited to be playing Lobo now. The question was like, is he
00:26:48
going to be a bigger part of the DCU or if he's just going to be
00:26:51
in in Supergirl? I don't think you get Jason
00:26:55
Momoa back and make such a big deal just to have it like a one
00:26:59
and done right. I think there's going to be
00:27:02
something coming down the pipe, but I don't think it's right
00:27:05
away. I think they're going to
00:27:05
introduce him as Lobo, have fun with it, and then maybe in a
00:27:09
couple years he's going to reappear somewhere, I don't know
00:27:13
where. I I I agree Lobo is too big of a
00:27:16
character for him to just be a one and done anyways.
00:27:19
He's a major foil for Superman. He also is an ally to Superman
00:27:24
down the road. You know, the, the, the dude is
00:27:28
he, he's also somebody who could cause havoc with the Green
00:27:31
Lanterns. So yeah, yeah, there actually is
00:27:35
a whole storyline about Lobo fighting the Manhunters, right?
00:27:41
Like. Back in the day.
00:27:41
And, and, yeah, and I've talked about, well, 'cause you know,
00:27:44
the Manhunters reappear and they start like, you know, fighting
00:27:47
the Green Lanterns and everything like that.
00:27:49
So I mean, they kind of do the same thing.
00:27:50
They're also, there's the entire New 52 storyline about
00:27:55
Deathstroke versus versus Lobo, which was a really good
00:27:59
storyline. OK, now we got to find a
00:28:02
Deathstroke. Great.
00:28:04
I I keep saying it needs to be the same guy.
00:28:08
He was so perfect for like the two scenes that he had.
00:28:11
Manganiello. Joe Manganiello, like Joe
00:28:14
Manganiello needs to get that that that second shot as
00:28:20
Deathstroke because you look at him under the mask with the hair
00:28:24
and the and the eye patch and he 100% looks exactly like the
00:28:28
comics. The guy looks he is so perfectly
00:28:31
cast and then the one scene that he has in in Batman or not
00:28:39
Batman V Superman in Justice League, when when they do the
00:28:41
features everything yeah. So when you get the the, the
00:28:46
Snyder Cut version of that, you have full scenes with him and
00:28:49
the Joker. And he is so like, he's
00:28:53
Deathstroke. He has the same level of
00:28:55
arrogance. He has the same level of
00:28:56
calculation. You know, he's kind of an
00:29:00
asshole, but that's who you want him to be.
00:29:02
Yeah. And he's not with Sofia Vergara
00:29:06
anymore, you know, he played too much DND and Sofia dumped him
00:29:10
so. And he still plays DND so do not
00:29:13
hate on DND. We need something.
00:29:17
I'm just throwing it out there. Joe Manganiello.
00:29:18
We, we, we do a monthly DND game on stream.
00:29:22
Dude, Come play DND with us. I'm 100% come play DND with us,
00:29:26
love. I would love to get like Adm
00:29:29
from Joe Manganiello. It says, hey, man, I heard you
00:29:32
call me out. Yeah, I'm down to go play some
00:29:34
DND. Like fuck yeah, dude, let's go.
00:29:38
What if he's really bad? Wouldn't that, wouldn't that be
00:29:41
crazy? You're like.
00:29:43
Dude, have you never seen one of those streams?
00:29:45
He's amazing at D&D. You know, just be funny.
00:29:48
Just be funny. Matt, Matt in the chat said
00:29:51
don't throw shade the D&D. No dude, we're playing a
00:29:54
campaign. If you missed it on Friday, we
00:29:56
started a new campaign for D&D on Friday on live stream and it
00:30:00
was absolutely hilarious. I pissed off.
00:30:03
Should do so much. Jr., who's also in the chat, was
00:30:07
part of the the campaign. He didn't do well, but he was in
00:30:11
the campaign. Oh my God, no.
00:30:13
And I have to bring this up, and this is before we move into the
00:30:16
next segment here, but just the the funniest thing that I did,
00:30:21
he DM the hero quest game that I got to play, and then he was
00:30:24
awesome. Oh man, that's so cool.
00:30:26
You've interviewed Manzanello too, right?
00:30:28
I'm pretty sure Matt interviewed Joe Manzanello in the past, but
00:30:34
no, so we started it off. We, we, the first thing that we
00:30:40
rolled dice on was so we're all tied up to these trees.
00:30:47
Like we, we woke up and these goblins have a slag tied to the
00:30:50
trees. And the first thing I roll, I
00:30:55
look over at Jr. who's a tiefling, and I go tiefling.
00:31:01
My ass itches scratch my ass and I had to roll for whether he
00:31:06
could scratch my ass or not, and it pissed off should do so much
00:31:11
'cause he was like, that's not going to be the first thing we
00:31:13
roll dice on. And I was like, yes, it is T
00:31:16
fling scratch my ass. And and it's funny because we we
00:31:21
brought that joke like that. That ended up being like a like
00:31:25
like like a a call back throughout the entire like a
00:31:27
running joke throughout the entire campaign.
00:31:30
So at the end, when we're riding off, we're we are we're all on
00:31:34
our horses. We're riding off and I'm like my
00:31:36
ass still itches and Jr. takes his tail and he scratches my ass
00:31:42
from across another the other horse.
00:31:46
OK. All right, that's.
00:31:48
But it was, it was funny, man. Like it was just because I was
00:31:52
an orc, right? So I'm just like, scratch my
00:31:54
ass. OK, you keep talking about your
00:31:57
orcas you got. To move on.

00:33:23
Guardians of the Galaxy, Jurassic World and the Super
00:33:26
Mario Brothers movie, Chris Pratt has become one of the
00:33:29
highest grossing leading actors in Hollywood.
00:33:33
So this latest film Mercy will do well, right?
00:33:38
I didn't even know he had a movie coming out.
00:33:40
According. Before it all over the place.
00:33:42
According to Variety, Mercy pulled in just under 11.2
00:33:47
million domestically in its opening weekend.
00:33:51
Oh my gosh. It did knock off Avatar, Fire
00:33:55
and Ash out of the top spot after a 5 week rain.
00:33:58
But the debut marks the lowest opening weekend for Pratt's
00:34:02
career as a leading man, coming in below 14.8 million earned for
00:34:08
passengers back in 2016. This movie looks interesting.
00:34:15
It looks kind of crazy. So like he's a cop that invented
00:34:20
like an AI court system and essentially the AI judge is like
00:34:30
essentially is accuses him of killing his wife based on
00:34:37
evidence that it has in the whole movie is basically him
00:34:40
trying to disprove or trying to prove that he didn't kill his
00:34:43
wife. This is one of those films that
00:34:48
probably should have just went straight to streaming.
00:34:50
Yeah, and and gone from there. But does this say that Chris
00:34:55
Pratt by himself, as a leading man without Jurassic Park or the
00:35:01
Marvel or or Super Mario Brothers attached to the name,
00:35:05
can he carry a movie by himself? I don't know man.
00:35:09
I'm surprised it didn't do it better because it is supposed to
00:35:12
be like the whole big thing with this.
00:35:14
It's supposed to be a commentary on AI and like overreach of like
00:35:17
just letting AI run rampant. But I don't know, apparently
00:35:21
people, you know, weren't super interested in seeing it.
00:35:25
And also, you know, a lot of this stuff is going to be based
00:35:26
on word of mouth. So if people aren't talking
00:35:29
about it and saying this movie was great, then then, you know,
00:35:31
yeah, it's, it's it's probably going to fall in, in the cracks,
00:35:35
you know? Yeah, let's keep it going.
00:35:38
Farewell to Captain Kirk. Chris Pine was asked about
00:35:42
Paramount's plan to reboot Star Trek and positioned it as a
00:35:45
fresh take meant to reinvigorate the brand.
00:35:48
With Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daily, the filmmaking
00:35:53
duo behind Dungeons and Dragons on or Among Thieves, asked if he
00:35:56
had any words of wisdom for the new stewards of the franchise,
00:36:02
didn't overthink it, and said advice, have fun, good luck,
00:36:05
live long and prosper. So what this tells me is that
00:36:10
he's done playing Kirk and he's moving on.
00:36:13
And maybe Paramount's moving on too, I guess.
00:36:17
It seems like they're moving into a new direction just
00:36:19
because they've been doing that with a lot of the shows.
00:36:21
So I mean with the with all the shows.
00:36:23
So I mean, it seems like they are probably going to try and
00:36:26
move into a different direction. They're probably going to not
00:36:28
deal with the Kelvin timeline anymore.
00:36:30
What's? What's interesting, I thought,
00:36:32
was that they have Goldstein and Francis Daly right doing it, who
00:36:38
also did Dungeons and Dragons, which Chris Pine was in.
00:36:41
Right, he was the Bard in that movie.
00:36:43
But apparently Paramount is just saying we need to move forward.
00:36:46
We need to kind of get away from from Kirk and and find something
00:36:51
new to attach. But OK.
00:36:54
Yeah, it's sad. I, I liked him as, as Captain
00:36:56
Kirk, but I mean, you know, it is what it is so.
00:36:59
Yeah, which is kind of funny if you think about it.
00:37:01
It's paramount. One of their big things was
00:37:03
like, hey, we're bringing, you know, Chris Pine and Zoe Saldana
00:37:08
and everybody else back to be, you know, Star Trek again, yadda
00:37:13
yadda. And they're like.
00:37:14
And Chris Pine and Zoe were like, nobody told us we were
00:37:18
coming back to Star Trek. And that was like 3 or 4 years
00:37:22
ago. And now nothing's happened.
00:37:24
Good announcement, Grandma. We had to go.
00:37:25
Yeah, all right, let's keep it going.
00:37:29
And all form the head which always it made me cringe.
00:37:36
So, so much. The live action Voltron movie is
00:37:40
currently in post production and we have a fresh report on the
00:37:43
story. The film reportedly follows a
00:37:46
teenage boy on earth, he man who is dealing with the death of his
00:37:51
mother, He man, only to uncover a Galaxy shaking secret about
00:37:56
who she really was. The same report claims Henry
00:38:00
Cavill is playing the King of Altea.
00:38:04
The film is currently expected to debut exclusively on Prime
00:38:09
Video later this year. That's interesting.
00:38:12
If he's playing the king of Altea, Yeah, yeah.
00:38:15
I, I, I thought he would have been something a little more
00:38:18
prominent, but at the same time, I mean, he is kind of a
00:38:21
prominent character. But I thought you.
00:38:22
Think he'd formed the head? You know, right, right, right.
00:38:25
But I guess I mean that makes sense for him to play kind of
00:38:28
like more of like a a docile role given that he's a producer
00:38:34
on the movie too, so. Gotcha.
00:38:37
All right. I'm looking forward to it.
00:38:38
We'll see. But see, this is a movie like
00:38:40
going straight to streaming. It'll it'll probably be strong
00:38:44
as a streamer, but may have faltered in in the box office.
00:38:50
Yeah. That I, I just hope it's not
00:38:52
goofy, you know, that's the whole thing is, is because the
00:38:54
premise of this can, can, can be goofy.
00:38:57
I, I just hope that it is a serious take on, on Voltron and
00:39:01
it's not something that is like, you know, goofy and comedic for
00:39:05
comedic's sake. You know, like it like, like, I
00:39:09
don't want it to feel like an SNL sketch, you know what I
00:39:11
mean? Yeah, I totally agree.
00:39:13
Totally agree. All right, get ready for more
00:39:16
extraterrestrial dimensional clowns.
00:39:21
Oh my gosh, I don't understand extra dimensional clowns.
00:39:26
According to a recent Hollywood Reporter piece, Andy
00:39:29
Muscchietti, who's currently developing The Brave and the
00:39:32
Bold for DC, there's a telling nugget about the future of
00:39:36
Welcome to Dairy, which I heard was really good.
00:39:39
So good. If you haven't watched it, you
00:39:40
need to watch it man. I'm I'm not a scary scared guy,
00:39:44
like I don't like scary movies or horror, but I'm not really
00:39:48
scared of extra dimensional clowns now, so maybe I'll watch
00:39:52
it. As the article puts it, Muscati
00:39:55
finds himself a hot commodity thanks to the muscular success
00:39:59
of Welcome to Dairy HB OS It series second season is now in
00:40:06
the works, even if it has not been officially renewed.
00:40:10
We knew it was coming, but. I talked about this a while back
00:40:14
when we, when we reported on Muscati was was getting ready to
00:40:17
start working on Brave and the Bold and that they hadn't had a
00:40:20
script for it yet. And I was like, yeah, it wasn't
00:40:22
mean. They're probably moving forward
00:40:23
on season 2 of Welcome to Dairy, mainly because they already have
00:40:27
a framework for the next two seasons of the show.
00:40:30
So it's like, you know, I, I could see HBO going, hey, go
00:40:34
right into season 2 of Welcome to Dairy.
00:40:36
You guys have a hit with this show.
00:40:38
Keep it going. But at the same time, I'm sure,
00:40:41
I mean, you know, he's probably a multitasker.
00:40:43
I'm sure he's like, Oh well, I can get into the mindset of
00:40:45
Batman and write Batman too, so. Yeah, yeah.
00:40:49
All right. Next one, Dragon Fire is
00:40:53
streaming Fire. Amazon.
00:40:56
MGM Studios is developing author Elise covas #1, New York Times
00:41:01
best selling fantasy novel Dragon Cursed for a feature
00:41:05
development, probably a series. The story is set in a
00:41:08
fantastical world amidst the latest human stronghold against
00:41:12
the Dragons, in which every teenager must survive brutal
00:41:16
trials meant to separate dragon hunters from the dragon cursed.
00:41:21
There's not yet a writer or director attached to the
00:41:25
project, but hey, more Dragons. You know, we need to ask about
00:41:29
this because I'm sure both of them have read this, Curtis
00:41:32
Corona and Bird. That is true.
00:41:37
Yeah, because I'm sure both of them have read these these
00:41:40
books. They are.
00:41:41
They're at least familiar with it.
00:41:42
This is right up their alley. And we can ask like, hey, what
00:41:46
do you guys think? You think this is going to be
00:41:47
something that's big? And, you know, they'll tell us
00:41:49
either yeah, no, it's going to be crap or yeah, I know.
00:41:52
This is great. I love that book.
00:41:53
You know, I mean, they they told us about skull and what was it
00:41:57
or what not? Skull and bone, Shadow and bone.
00:42:02
And they also told us about what was it, the skeleton key?
00:42:07
That one too. Yeah, so like, you know, they,
00:42:08
they, they they predicted both of those shows before they even
00:42:12
came out, so. Well, everybody knows, like the
00:42:15
goldmine right now is young adult fiction that is being
00:42:21
turned out into series and like, oh, that's the goldmine for
00:42:24
developing a universe or a world that we can kind of tap into for
00:42:29
a movie or a series. Like we'll get to a little bit
00:42:32
more later, but I think there's one called 4th Wing that's been
00:42:36
really popular and we'll talk more about that.
00:42:39
Michael B Jordan's connected to it so.
00:42:41
Oh, nice, nice, nice. OK, let's let's keep going.
00:42:44
All right, next one. The search for the next James
00:42:48
Bond is heating up again. According to a recent update,
00:42:51
one young actor is suddenly standing out from the pack.
00:42:55
Jacob L Lordy is now one of the top contenders, being seriously
00:43:00
considered to play James Bond. Smart move.
00:43:05
I like this A Lordy recently picked up an Oscar nomination
00:43:09
for his role in Frankenstein directed by Guillermo del Toro,
00:43:13
a career milestone that could push him higher on the studio's
00:43:17
shortlist. Interesting man, Jacob A Lordy's
00:43:21
kind of killing everything that he's doing right now.
00:43:23
So I can see that, especially because MGM has been on a hard
00:43:28
search looking for the next James Bond.
00:43:30
So, I mean, you know, they could easily capitalize on on his
00:43:34
popularity right now. It's smart move.
00:43:37
Totally. I totally agree.
00:43:40
And +2 the Oscar nom. Yeah, I think Amazon MGM are
00:43:43
going to be like, yeah, give me that guy.
00:43:46
Yeah, absolutely. And then that just that just it
00:43:49
raises the profile of the film and I mean they always do that
00:43:52
with James. Like MGM is really big about
00:43:54
making sure you have the highest profile possible for for double
00:43:57
O 7 movies. So.
00:43:59
It's like a Heisman Trophy for actors.
00:44:01
It. Kind of is.
00:44:03
All right, let's keep it going. Somehow, the Skywalkers have
00:44:07
returned. What A new Star Wars rumor is
00:44:10
making the rounds, and it points to a familiar character stepping
00:44:14
back into the spotlight. Daisy Ridley's Ray Skywalker
00:44:19
will play a major part in Simon Kinberg's planned trilogy,
00:44:24
though she won't be positioned as the main character.
00:44:27
Instead, the focus will shift toward a new generation of
00:44:31
characters, with Ray acting as a key figure in shaping what comes
00:44:35
next for the Galaxy. OK, Interesting.
00:44:39
It is interesting. I'm, I'm not opposed to that.
00:44:43
I I, we've been saying that we want a new trilogy, something
00:44:47
that is Jedi focused, but something that is not Skywalker.
00:44:52
You know what I mean? Like everything always leads
00:44:54
back to the Skywalker's. All nine movies LED back to the
00:45:00
Skywalker family. And I mean, yeah, you'll have
00:45:02
Ray. She's technically an adopted
00:45:04
Skywalker at this point, you know, like being kind of like
00:45:09
the Obi Wan Kenobi in this series of movies.
00:45:13
But she being that she's not the centerpiece and we're getting a
00:45:17
new generation of, you know, Padawans or new generation of
00:45:22
Jedi characters or anything like that.
00:45:25
The other thing is, is, you know, it would be nice if they
00:45:29
did, like this is a way for them to do the use on Vog, right?
00:45:32
Or to bring in characters from the extended universe,
00:45:35
especially now that we have Filoni in charge.
00:45:38
I'm sure, you know, he's been talking about how much he wants
00:45:40
to bring a lot of those characters in.
00:45:42
You know this would be a great way for him to bring in the
00:45:46
Yuzon Vog and have an excuse to bring those characters in.
00:45:49
Yeah, my only question is will she go the permit Luke Skywalker
00:45:55
route and drink green milk from a space cow teat?
00:46:00
You know, space titty. Oh my God, that scene.
00:46:04
Oh God. And he just like, drinks it
00:46:06
straight from the cow Titty man. It's it's my gosh.
00:46:10
OK, I think that was it for one shots.
00:46:14
Let's let's break for some ads. Yeah, let's do it right here.

00:48:19
later because, you know, we're, we're getting close to another
00:48:21
milestone and we got stuff to give away.
00:48:24
Awesome. All right, let's get into some
00:48:26
more news. All right, Emmy and Golden Globe
00:48:29
nominated actor Michael B Jordan has added an Academy Award
00:48:34
nomination to his resume. The actor was nominated for his
00:48:38
dual role in the historical horror thriller Sinners, which
00:48:44
we all loved. Yeah, great movie.
00:48:46
And he has a ton on his slate, both in front and behind the
00:48:51
camera. So he talked the deadline, he
00:48:54
said. To be a part of a project that
00:48:56
will live and send him history right up there with the movies
00:48:59
that have inspired me as an artist is really a surreal
00:49:02
feeling. And it's a testament to the
00:49:04
movie, to every piece of the puzzle that went into making
00:49:08
this film. Well, he's got so much going on
00:49:11
right now. Yeah, it is crazy.
00:49:13
Let me get through a couple things and then we can talk
00:49:16
about the the nomination in the movie.
00:49:18
But he's got upcoming The Thomas Crown Affair.
00:49:22
That's kind of being redone, rebooted with with Adria Arroja.
00:49:28
Exactly. Arroja from from from.
00:49:32
Yeah, from Andor. She's great.
00:49:34
Yeah. Yeah.
00:49:34
Who? Who may be the next Wonder
00:49:36
Woman. We shall see.
00:49:37
That would be. Dumb.
00:49:38
She's she's so ripped for that. Like that'd be so sick.
00:49:41
Yeah, so I they got the Thomas Crown affair, he said he's going
00:49:44
in to edit soon 'cause he's directing the film as well.
00:49:48
I didn't know who's directing, man, 'cause he's playing Pierce
00:49:51
Brosnan's character, right? Yeah.
00:49:54
I believe so. I mean, I don't know.
00:49:56
I haven't seen the movie yet 'cause it's being made.
00:49:59
So we'll see. And then also, we talked about
00:50:02
this earlier, Jordan's company, Outlier Society is producing a
00:50:06
new television adaption of 4th Wing for Amazon MGM Studios
00:50:13
based on that. You know, big dragon writer,
00:50:16
it's all about Dragons. The dragon writer, romance, YA
00:50:21
book, I don't know, it's all there.
00:50:23
And then he's also working on Creed 4.
00:50:26
So, so much going on. We are living in the Michael B
00:50:28
Jordan era. The, the dude is amazing.
00:50:32
I mean, just everything, every role that he plays is great.
00:50:37
You know what? I did not realize this from
00:50:40
Sinners until I saw somebody say something on TikTok about it.
00:50:45
Smoke and stack. Their outfits were based on the
00:50:49
mobs that they worked for. So you know, in the movie they
00:50:52
were talking, you know, we come to find out that they stole a
00:50:55
bunch of stuff from the Italian mob and from the Irish mob.
00:51:00
Smokes outfit is Italian made suit and and stacks outfit is a
00:51:07
traditional like a three piece that that the Irish would wear.
00:51:11
Oh, I didn't know that. I didn't realize that until I
00:51:14
went back and looked at the picture and I was like, Oh my
00:51:16
God, they are. That's pretty cool.
00:51:19
Yeah, I think that I think well deserved nomination.
00:51:23
Yeah, yeah, no, it's, it's so good, man.
00:51:25
Just not just that, but again, everything Michael B Jordan
00:51:28
does, we we inadvertently talked about Michael B Jordan at the
00:51:31
beginning of the show when we were talking about Black
00:51:33
Panther, right. Like talking about characters
00:51:35
that have nuance. You know, if if you go and you
00:51:38
talk about, you know, his character in Black Panther, he
00:51:41
wasn't evil. He had good intentions.
00:51:44
He just went about it the wrong way, you know, and that makes
00:51:48
for so much better of a character, you know, like, and
00:51:50
he's so good at playing those kind of characters.
00:51:52
Yeah, yeah. And you know, for sinners, he
00:51:55
had to play the dual role. But really, it was kind of a
00:51:58
triple role, yeah, since you had to play both brothers and one
00:52:03
brother as a vampire. As a vampire.
00:52:05
Right, you know, that's I thought that was super
00:52:06
interesting. So I really enjoyed Sinners.
00:52:10
Yeah, so good man. Again, Michael B Jordan deserves
00:52:13
every accolade that he's getting and I can't wait to see
00:52:15
everything else that he's doing. Yeah.
00:52:18
All right, let's keep it going. Netflix loves to change the
00:52:23
game. Platforms like Crunchyroll and
00:52:25
High Dive stay focused almost entirely on anime.
00:52:29
The bigger streamers clear clearly see the value in
00:52:33
expanding their catalog. Hulu, Disney Plus, HBO Max,
00:52:37
Amazon Prime, and others have all joined the party.
00:52:40
But Netflix just made a move that could seriously shift the
00:52:45
landscape. Netflix officially confirmed a
00:52:48
major partnership with Studio Mapa, one of the most
00:52:52
influential anime studios working today.
00:52:56
Under this new deal, Netflix will serve as the exclusive home
00:53:00
for original Mapa produced anime titles going forward.
00:53:05
So if you don't know Mapa you but you know anime, you may have
00:53:09
heard of Jiu Jitsu, Kaizen, Chainsawman, Hell's Paradise,
00:53:13
Attack on Titan. They did the final season.
00:53:16
So Netflix is like, give me the big dog.
00:53:19
That's that's a big deal. So Netflix is already known for
00:53:24
putting out a lot of original anime and, and, and getting
00:53:27
properties and putting them out and things like that.
00:53:29
And of course, you know, the other thing they're known for is
00:53:33
his live adaptations of anime, some good, some bad.
00:53:36
Obviously everybody loves One Piece, but you know, OneNote
00:53:40
wasn't the greatest. But I mean, you know, Netflix
00:53:45
has had a big focus on anime. And the fact that they're
00:53:48
teaming up with Mapa now is, is is monumental.
00:53:52
It is massive. Huge news.
00:53:55
Yeah, this is such a a big time Netflix move, right?
00:53:58
It's such a flex. And especially because like Jiu
00:54:00
Jitsu, Kaizen and Chainsaw Man are still ongoing.
00:54:04
Exactly. You know, like, does that mean
00:54:06
that they're going to get exclusive like new seasons for
00:54:10
chainsaw man and Jiu Jitsu Kaizen like before Crunchyroll
00:54:14
gets it? Like that's, that's awesome.
00:54:16
I think, I think that's it. I think that's the move.
00:54:18
They're like, hey, just move it over.
00:54:20
You may have a deal right now with somebody else.
00:54:23
We're going to let that deal expire and then we're going to
00:54:25
move it all over to Netflix. Smart Move.
00:54:29
Yeah, it's, it's that that is a, that is a genius move on on
00:54:33
their part. Exactly.
00:54:36
All right, one more story before we get to the Oscars.
00:54:39
Hopefully I don't get too passionate about this.
00:54:44
Disney reminds us what's important to Disney CEO Bob Iger
00:54:49
saw his fiscal 2025 compensation climb to $48.8 million, a 12%
00:54:58
increase from his 41.1 million from the year before, according
00:55:03
to company's annual proxy statement filed with this SEC
00:55:09
$48 million bonus for this guy, he.
00:55:15
Doesn't need it. It's nuts.
00:55:17
It's nuts. The proxy filing lays out Iger's
00:55:20
pay in detail. His package includes a $1
00:55:24
million base, $1 million base salary, 1 bullshit, 21
00:55:29
million in stocks awards and 14 million in options awards and
00:55:34
7.25 million in non equity incentive plans.
00:55:39
Compensation, essentially a cash bonus.
00:55:43
Oh my God, $48 million. If he wasn't a dirtbag, he
00:55:48
would. He would put that back into the
00:55:49
company and give everybody in the company a raise, but he's
00:55:52
not going to do that. Right.
00:55:53
Or like, hey, let me, let me, let me be a producer, let me
00:55:56
take that money and let's go green light some projects, you
00:55:59
know? Yeah, maybe.
00:56:01
Maybe you will uphold the legacy of Walt Disney and start putting
00:56:06
out original content, Jackass. You are unhappy I'm.
00:56:10
Always unhappy when I hear a fucking millionaires.
00:56:13
He put out, he put out Elio. Don't yell at him.
00:56:16
He he made Elio happen. No, no, no.
00:56:19
He put out Elio and then did not do any promotion for it.
00:56:24
Buried it. He buried it.
00:56:25
He buried it. He he he he he he.
00:56:28
He's the reason Palpatine ended up in Star Wars and it somehow
00:56:33
the sequel trilogy. Somehow, Palpatine has returned.
00:56:37
Yeah, it, it's, it's again, he does not make the greatest
00:56:41
decisions when it comes to creativity.
00:56:44
He may make good decisions when it comes to money making, right,
00:56:48
But OK, you're making more money for Disney Corporation.
00:56:52
How does that help everybody else?
00:56:55
It doesn't because then you still go and be cheap when it
00:56:57
comes to doing films or when it comes to like Disney Plus.
00:57:03
They're they're going to be doing, they already announced
00:57:05
they're going to be doing less big tentpole shows because they
00:57:08
don't want to spend the money on it, right?
00:57:10
Or they're going to be cutting budgets on stuff.
00:57:12
They already said they're cutting the budget on Ahsoka.
00:57:14
Yeah, he and his, his whole thing is like, get get content
00:57:18
back into movie theaters, 'cause that's 'cause.
00:57:21
He thinks where we're going to win.
00:57:22
He thinks that's where they're going to make money.
00:57:24
And The thing is, is that's not necessarily true.
00:57:27
You know, what's going to make you guys more money as far as
00:57:30
like people going to theaters is, again, coming up with more
00:57:34
good original content and not just recycling the same things
00:57:40
over and over again. Again, no hate at all on Lilo
00:57:44
and Stitch, on Moana, on the things that they're putting out
00:57:48
there. Again, they're working on.
00:57:53
Just think he had Zootopia 2 that did 1.7 billion.
00:57:59
He he did avatar fire and ash I think it's over I think.
00:58:04
I don't know if it's close to a. Billion made a shit ton of money
00:58:07
but didn't make as much as they wanted it to because it didn't
00:58:09
outdo the first two movies. But I mean, Inside Out made a
00:58:12
shit ton of money. Yeah, exactly.
00:58:15
Lilo and Stitch did huge earlier this.
00:58:18
Year and and again, nothing against that because it was a
00:58:20
good recreation. But The thing is is that when
00:58:25
your focus is they should have been trend up.
00:58:28
By the way, your focus is profitability and not
00:58:34
creativity. And when you are reportedly when
00:58:38
you hear about like what a lot of the people who work for
00:58:40
Disney complain about and you're not taking care of the people
00:58:44
who make you that money. I, I, I, I I don't want to hear
00:58:48
that you got a 12% increase and became more of a millionaire.
00:58:53
Yeah, I don't give a shit that you're a millionaire, dude.
00:58:56
And and I don't give a shit that you are making more and more and
00:59:00
more money. Yeah, you know.
00:59:03
And that money, take that extra 12% because $41.1 million, you
00:59:09
can live off of that dude, and you're not going to ever have a
00:59:11
problem with anything. You're never going to be poor.
00:59:13
You're never going to be broke. Take that extra money and
00:59:17
reinvest it in the company. Reinvest it in the people who
00:59:20
are making the thing for you, because you would not have any
00:59:23
money were it not for them. I'm going to shut up now.
00:59:26
Instead of instead of spending a billion dollars investing in
00:59:32
open AI and letting it take over some of your content and some of
00:59:37
your characters you know in, in the parks and potentially in, in
00:59:43
projects. Instead of buying another
00:59:45
fucking house that you don't need.
00:59:47
Yeah, well, I mean, no. Can you have enough houses?
00:59:50
Yes, you can. What are you?
00:59:52
What? What what are you going to do
00:59:53
with that? Or you're you're buying another
00:59:55
house specifically so that the government can't steal it from
00:59:58
you. OK, I get you on that.
00:59:59
That's greed. That's all that is.
01:00:01
Greed. So on a on a brighter note, the
01:00:05
company expects to name Iger's successor early in 2026.
01:00:11
So he's almost done. He's they're like, here's your
01:00:13
payout and we're moving on. So we'll see what happens with
01:00:18
with Disney. We'll see who they see, who they
01:00:22
appoint, and see if they're a greedy fuck too.
01:00:25
Yeah, I mean, they brought him back.
01:00:28
They brought him back. To make money, that's the whole
01:00:30
thing is they brought him. Back more money and he was the
01:00:33
savior, and he was looked at as the.
01:00:34
Savior, what kills me with all of this is again, and this is
01:00:39
the way I look at everything and again, I'm I'm already going too
01:00:42
crazy on this. The the thing that kills me is
01:00:46
none of you are wanting for anything where everybody else,
01:00:52
the people who work for you, people who work in Disney parks
01:00:55
can barely pay their rent. And with those kind of things,
01:00:59
when you, when you're being making more and more and more
01:01:03
money every year, right? What you're upset about when you
01:01:07
say, oh, we're not profitable? No, it's not that you're not
01:01:10
profitable. It's that you didn't make more
01:01:11
than you did last year. Yeah.
01:01:14
And that that is not the same as not being profitable.
01:01:17
That just means you didn't make as much as you did last year.
01:01:21
Oh, and that's a milestone. No, the what what it should be
01:01:25
is, OK, here's our operating cost.
01:01:28
Anything above that should be a reinvestment into the company.
01:01:31
And that that that's how you fix the economy.
01:01:35
But these, none of these people care.
01:01:36
None of these people care. Yeah, all I care about my idea
01:01:39
boat and I want more, more houses.
01:01:41
My idea for this is also like, take all that money and reinvest
01:01:47
it by buying everybody a churro that goes to Disneyland.
01:01:51
All right, I would be OK with that.
01:01:53
Churros are like fucking $10 now man. $48.8 million of churros.
01:01:59
Thank you. Bob I and I say all this wearing
01:02:02
a fucking Disney shirt. See, you could be wearing a
01:02:06
distance nerding shirt, but you know.
01:02:09
I actually was going to put one on.
01:02:10
I was going to put one of our shirts on.
01:02:11
And I was like, we're going to talk Star Wars.
01:02:13
I'm going to, I'm going to put a Star Wars shirt on.
01:02:15
Oh yeah, no, I'm wearing fucking Disney merch.
01:02:18
OK, let's keep it, loosen it up, loosen up, let it go.
01:02:20
Here we go. Let's get into some fun news.
01:02:23
All right. Well, ladies and gentlemen, that
01:02:25
is it for our regular news. Let's jump into this last or
01:02:29
second to last segment because we got one at the end of the
01:02:31
show. Let's jump into the trend up.
01:02:48
Yeah, that didn't work. OK.
01:02:51
And the winner is nerds. Whoa.
01:02:55
The The Oscar nominations dropped.
01:02:58
With nearly two months yet to go before the ceremony in March,
01:03:02
this year's race feels wide open and unpredictable.
01:03:06
Genre films made a serious impact this year, and it's great
01:03:11
to see genre movies get a lot of Oscar love.
01:03:15
Check this out. Sinners shattered the record
01:03:19
with 16 nominations, making it the most nominated film in Oscar
01:03:26
history. Insane.
01:03:27
That's awesome. Frankenstein, directed by Gamma
01:03:31
Rotoro, pulled in nine nominations.
01:03:35
That's a Netflix film. Right.
01:03:36
Yeah, it is. And, and again, it's it We want
01:03:40
to talk genre films. Guillermo del Toro only makes
01:03:43
genre films and Frankenstein is a genre film.
01:03:46
That the fact that they pulled 9 nominations is is absolutely
01:03:50
amazing. 9 That's nuts and Netflix is so happy Bulgonia,
01:03:57
which is now on Peacock. So if you want to watch I
01:04:01
actually. Do want to watch that movie,
01:04:02
man? It's on Bulgonia.
01:04:04
I watched it the other night. It was it's on Bulgonia.
01:04:06
It's on Peacock. Interesting.
01:04:07
Yeah, that's secured. Emma.
01:04:10
I want to say Emma Watson, but that's incorrect.
01:04:14
Emma Stone. Emma Stone.
01:04:16
Yeah, Yeah. That secured 10 nominations,
01:04:19
including Best Picture Nod. That's interesting.
01:04:22
I heard it's really good. Yeah, it it is.
01:04:25
It's pretty fun. It's pretty fun.
01:04:28
Genre representation keeps going with K Pop Demon Hunters landing
01:04:33
nominations for best animated Feature and Best Song which.
01:04:38
If Golden doesn't win that, that's fucking wrong.
01:04:41
I'm sorry. That is the catchiest song of
01:04:43
the year. I know it's it's got to be,
01:04:46
yeah. I'd, I'd even say best animated
01:04:48
feature, but we'll get into some of the nominations later because
01:04:51
there's there's some heavy hitters.
01:04:53
Yeah, Yeah. Coming to that, Avatar, Fire and
01:04:55
Ash showed up with a technical category with a nomination for
01:04:58
best visual effects. That makes sense.
01:05:01
One of the biggest challenges this year is the introduction of
01:05:05
best casting, a new category making its debut at the Oscars.
01:05:10
It's long overdue. That'll be interesting.
01:05:13
So it's spotlights the cast as a whole.
01:05:16
The ensemble. Which ensemble?
01:05:18
Yeah, Sinners needs to be on that cause the casting in that
01:05:22
movie was flawless. Yeah, so up for a best picture
01:05:27
and I'll maybe you can pick one or two who you think will win.
01:05:30
Best picture was Bulgonia F1 Frankenstein Hamnet, Marty
01:05:36
Supreme which is that Tim Chalamet movie 1 Battle after
01:05:41
Another Leo, the Secret Agent, Sentimental Value and Sinners.
01:05:49
One battle after another was it was a great movie.
01:05:53
It did not feel like a three hour movie, even though it was a
01:05:55
three hour movie. Marty Supreme was one of those
01:06:00
sleeper films. I was not expecting it to be
01:06:02
what it was. Hamnet.
01:06:05
I hear nothing but good things. It's supposed to be like almost
01:06:07
like Shakespeare in the park or what?
01:06:10
Was it like a Shakespeare in love, right?
01:06:12
It's like, you know, Shakespeare but on the back end kind of
01:06:14
thing. Frankenstein I still haven't
01:06:16
watched. I've heard nothing but good
01:06:18
things. I just need to take time to sit
01:06:20
down and watch it. I do want to see F1.
01:06:22
I've heard really good things about that.
01:06:24
And again, Begonia is on my list of the movies to watch too.
01:06:26
So I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm IA lot of that is good.
01:06:30
They like these movies on here are, are very well deserved.
01:06:32
Obviously Sinners is on there. The Secret Agent and Sentimental
01:06:36
value I'm unfamiliar with. And I mean, those are probably
01:06:40
more indie films 'cause you always have, you know, some more
01:06:48
art house films that are in Best Picture.
01:06:52
Yeah, that's true. So it's kind of interesting.
01:06:54
Best director Chloe Zhao for Hamnet, Josh Safdie for Marty
01:06:59
Supreme, Paul Thomas Anderson 1 battle after another Joaquin
01:07:04
Tier for sentimental value and then Ryan Coogler for Sinner.
01:07:07
So same movies. I think Ryan Coogler is going to
01:07:11
get it I. I would go Ryan Coogler on that
01:07:15
a close second Paul Thomas Anderson.
01:07:18
Paul Thomas Anderson has a has a style with the way he directs
01:07:22
and 1 battle after another is very much that Paul Thomas
01:07:27
Anderson like movie feel so. Yeah, some of that was filmed
01:07:30
here in Sacramento. Right, but it was 1 battle after
01:07:32
another. The.
01:07:33
The movie is supposed to be in a fictional Northern California
01:07:37
town that is a combination of Modesto, Eureka and And there
01:07:43
was another town I think, I think weed actually.
01:07:47
That makes sense. Yes, That makes a lot of sense.
01:07:50
Best lead actor Timothy Chalamet, Leo DiCaprio, Ethan
01:07:56
Hawke. Look at him coming in for Blue
01:07:58
Moon. Yeah.
01:07:59
Michael B Jordan, of course, for Sinners.
01:08:01
And then Wagner Mora for The Secret Agent.
01:08:05
So overall, like huge names. Yeah, huge names.
01:08:11
It'll be between Timothy Chalamet and Ethan Hawke, but I
01:08:16
want Michael B Jordan to take it.
01:08:19
Leonardo DiCaprio, actually, his character and 1 battle after
01:08:22
another was absolutely unhinged and I, I love the character.
01:08:27
I don't think that he's going to get best lead for that movie.
01:08:31
Again, I think Michael B Jordan is the one that I want to win.
01:08:35
But the one that I think is going to win would be either
01:08:37
Timothy Chalamet or Ethan Hawke. Yeah.
01:08:40
I mean, has Leo won? I I don't know if he's won.
01:08:44
A best male actor. He won.
01:08:46
He won one. Yeah.
01:08:48
It's for the movie where he gets destroyed by a bear.
01:08:51
Was the revenant. The Revenant.
01:08:53
That's right. That was a crazy scene.
01:08:55
That was a crazy scene. So, yeah, since he's won one, I
01:09:00
mean, it might leave a spot open for, like, Michael B Jordan,
01:09:05
somebody, you know, not newer but definitely has a resume
01:09:10
behind him, you know, and Timothy Chalamet, who's up and
01:09:13
coming. And, you know, I think that
01:09:16
would be good for cinema if somebody young like Timothy
01:09:19
Chalamet got an award like that. So we'll see.
01:09:22
Best lead actress. This is where it gets kind of
01:09:25
interesting because some of the movies didn't get nominated for
01:09:29
best picture, but the, you know, lead actress nominations.
01:09:33
So Jessie Buckley for Hamnet, Rose Byrne.
01:09:37
If I had legs I'd kick you Kate. Kate Hudson in song sung blue.
01:09:42
That's the one with her and Hugh Jackman.
01:09:45
Hugh Jackman. And they're like a Neil Diamond
01:09:47
cover band. Or something, right?
01:09:49
I, I saw those commercials and every time I saw the commercials
01:09:52
pop up, I was like, what is this?
01:09:54
Like, whose story is this supposed to be?
01:09:56
And then when I hang up, I was like, wait, it's a cover band?
01:09:59
It's a true story about a cover band.
01:10:01
The fuck, man. It was it was interesting.
01:10:05
I'm like, huh, that's kind of different where they live.
01:10:07
Kate Hudson renate Rencivi for sentimental value and then Emma
01:10:14
Stone for Bulgonia. Honestly, I think this could be
01:10:20
Emma Stone stealing it. I've.
01:10:22
Heard Emma Stone's performance in that film is, is absolutely
01:10:29
haunting. Yeah.
01:10:31
So I'm like, I, I, I, I'm pulling for her.
01:10:34
I kind of do want her to to to to get the prize, you know what
01:10:38
I mean? Yes, what's up?
01:10:41
Shout out to Eric in the chat. Handsome Eric.
01:10:44
Yeah. There's no wrestling on, so he
01:10:47
just chimes. He is so excited any times that
01:10:50
and anytime that he sees you on the show.
01:10:52
That's how it goes. I get excited when I see him.
01:10:55
OK, we're going to keep it going.
01:10:57
Best animated feature film Arco. I know that one not arco arena
01:11:03
Elio got nominated Interesting. K pop, Demon hunters, little
01:11:10
amalay and Zootopia 2. I think there's clearly it's
01:11:15
it's a 2 horse race for this one.
01:11:19
So I think it might be a a travesty that Nassau is not on
01:11:30
this. That did it come out last year.
01:11:34
It came out this year, it came out at the beginning of this
01:11:37
year. 2025 Nassau 2. Nassau, yeah.
01:11:40
I mean, it's, it's a travesty that Nassau 2 is not on this.
01:11:43
It's. The biggest animated film in the
01:11:45
world, Like 2.2 billion. Right.
01:11:48
And then on top of that, again, I, I, we were talking in the
01:11:51
chat about this, the fact that Demon Hunters isn't on isn't on
01:11:55
this or not Demon Slayer. Oh, demon Slayer.
01:11:59
Demon Slayer is not on this and I and I understand they didn't
01:12:02
put demon Slayer on this because it is an extension of of of of
01:12:06
ATV show. Oh, that's a good point.
01:12:08
Right. But at the same time, they did
01:12:11
do new types of animation in that film.
01:12:15
And it's like, no, it's you, you, you, you guys look over a
01:12:21
movie that probably should have gotten it because again, another
01:12:25
worldwide phenomenon of a film. Are you saying Elio doesn't
01:12:30
deserve this type of recognition, Sir?
01:12:32
I, I OK, so again, I heard nothing but good things about
01:12:37
Elio. I didn't even know it was on
01:12:40
Disney Plus 'cause I it, it flew under or like, oh, under the
01:12:44
radiar radar so much. Disney did not even tell people
01:12:46
that it was like in theaters, you know?
01:12:50
Which sucks because it's Pixar. Like, there's no such thing as a
01:12:53
bad Pixar movie. So I watched it.
01:12:57
Would you think? And I could have done without it
01:13:00
really. It didn't grab me.
01:13:03
I thought it would, but I, I didn't fall in love with like
01:13:09
the characters, like especially the alien characters, you know,
01:13:12
and usually you do like, oh, they're so cute.
01:13:14
I just it didn't grab me. Yeah, well, either way, in the
01:13:18
end of this the only there's only one clear answer for this
01:13:21
because as much as everybody wants to say Zootopia 2, they
01:13:23
didn't bring anything new with that K pop Demon Hunters needs
01:13:26
to win this. I, I mean, honestly, I I
01:13:29
wouldn't mind if K Pop could win it, but Zootopia 2 being the
01:13:34
highest grossing animated movie, I think it's got to be, it's got
01:13:41
to be that you got to remember. Though when it comes to a lot of
01:13:44
the voting that they do, they do not take into account how much
01:13:46
money a movie made. So that's The thing is that it
01:13:49
could be the most successful movie of the year monetarily
01:13:54
does not mean that they were the best movie.
01:13:58
What they're looking at is, you know, film wise, which one was
01:14:02
the best film and which one had the kind of like the the most
01:14:06
innovative things. And again, K Pop Demon Hunters
01:14:09
takes that cake. I, I do like the K pop just
01:14:12
because I I like K pop Team Hunters, but also it kind of
01:14:15
broke the rules, you know, And like, we're a we're a streaming
01:14:21
movie that got so big we have to put it in theaters now.
01:14:25
But also our soundtrack goes bonkers and has four top 100
01:14:32
songs on it, which hasn't happened since like Saturday
01:14:35
Night Fever. Yeah.
01:14:37
I. I, I don't think that I don't
01:14:40
think any of these movies holds a candle to K Pop Demon Hunters
01:14:44
as far as the reach that it's made, as far as the innovation
01:14:48
that they did in the, in the storytelling and the way they
01:14:50
did everything. I I think K Pop Demon Hunters is
01:14:53
the only answer to to this one for animated film.
01:14:57
I tell you what, during Halloween, I didn't see one kid
01:15:00
dressed up as Elio. I I didn't see anybody dressed
01:15:04
up as Arco. You know how many Sasha boys I
01:15:07
saw? Oh my God, so many.
01:15:08
So many giving out candy in front of the house.
01:15:11
The amount of I saw a lot more saja boys than I saw of Huntrix,
01:15:16
but I did see a couple of girls that came dressed as like, you
01:15:19
know, as as as Huntrix. And it's like, that's fucking
01:15:22
amazing, man. Yeah, right.
01:15:25
OK, every con we went to this year, every con we went to this
01:15:27
year, there were people dressed up as as as Huntrix.
01:15:30
Yeah, exactly. No Elios.
01:15:32
No, no, Elios dressed up. OK, let's get into a couple
01:15:36
more. So we talked about featured
01:15:38
animated film. Let's get into the best original
01:15:41
score Bulgonia, Frankenstein, Hamnet 1, Battle After Another,
01:15:46
and Sinners. Sinners better win that they.
01:15:48
I think Sinners is going to win it again.
01:15:49
Just because it's a movie that that focused on music.
01:15:52
And yes, the music in that was fucking great, man.
01:15:56
I I totally agree. It was like the the music almost
01:16:00
was like another character in in the film.
01:16:03
I totally agree. It would be again it it it would
01:16:06
be. You're doing a disservice if it
01:16:08
doesn't win best original score. Exactly And then that latest
01:16:13
category best casting. So the best cast.
01:16:16
So Hamnett, Marty Supreme, 1 Battle After Another, The Secret
01:16:20
Agent and Sinners. So again, I want to go sinners.
01:16:25
My immediately immediate thought on all this is sinners just
01:16:28
because every every casting in that film was was perfect.
01:16:34
There was there's not anyone that didn't seem like they
01:16:36
shouldn't have been there. But I do also like because we we
01:16:42
skipped over this category, but I did also like 1 battle after
01:16:44
another. The supporting acting in that
01:16:47
was really good. Again, Benicio Del Toro's court
01:16:49
character was he was one of those characters that was kind
01:16:52
of like, you can tell he knows what's going on, but he's acting
01:16:57
like he doesn't know what's going on.
01:16:59
And I always love those kind of characters that are like, yeah,
01:17:01
what you whatever you say. So you're revolutionary, right?
01:17:04
And it's like, oh, God, wait, wait, what?
01:17:06
He knows what's going on. And then Sean Penn's character
01:17:09
was a sleeper in that movie, man.
01:17:11
Like, he, he everything he did made me hate him so much more.
01:17:18
And that's always good for the villain, for the antagonist,
01:17:22
right? Anybody who plays an antagonist,
01:17:24
if you if, if you push more and more for me to hate you in every
01:17:31
other scene, right? You know, he ruins Leonardo
01:17:34
Dicaprio's life. He ruins the daughter's life.
01:17:38
And then on top of that, or he ruins the, the, the, the, the
01:17:42
girlfriend's life. But then on top of that, you
01:17:45
find out that he's like a secret fucking white supremacist
01:17:48
racist. Like Oh my God, like this.
01:17:51
This character is so good. Like Sean Penn is so good at
01:17:56
playing characters that you just absolutely loathe because
01:17:59
they're arrogant assholes. That's a sign of a good actor.
01:18:03
It is. Sean Penn is an amazing actor,
01:18:05
dude. I've never seen Sean Penn play
01:18:07
something that wasn't good. It's same thing.
01:18:09
I was saying that I said that about Michael B Jordan, but it
01:18:12
is. It's true.
01:18:13
They're so good at choosing their roles and, and they play
01:18:17
really good characters. I mean, Benicio Del Toro is
01:18:19
another guy that's just like that.
01:18:21
Like it's, you know, you look at him in Sicario, you look at him,
01:18:24
his character in Star Wars and the choices that he made for,
01:18:27
for his character in Star Wars, like so good at the way that
01:18:31
they do these characters. And, and I loved it.
01:18:33
And then again, Delroy Lindo, who was the villain from Sinners
01:18:37
Dude, I, I, I, I will listen to his version of Rocky Road to
01:18:43
Dublin on repeat because it's so both haunting and beautiful at
01:18:51
the same time. It's the way that he sang that
01:18:53
song and it's, it's like the best version of that song.
01:18:58
I, I, I love Delroy Lindo's character in that, in, in that
01:19:02
movie. And I I forgot what other movie
01:19:04
he was in this year that that he's he's playing, he's playing
01:19:10
an Irishman in that too. But like, yeah, it's it just
01:19:14
kind of like solidified, like I love this guy.
01:19:17
I real quick, I will say with 16 nominations, I think Sinners is
01:19:22
going to clean up. I don't think it's going to win
01:19:24
it all. I don't think there's going to
01:19:26
be, I don't think they're going to shut people out.
01:19:28
Like I think Chloe's out is going to win something.
01:19:32
For Hamnet, I don't know if she's going to win best
01:19:34
director, but I think Hamnet's going to win because it's a
01:19:38
little bit more artsy. I think they're it's going to
01:19:40
win something. Yeah, no, I, I think it is, I
01:19:44
think Hamnet is, is going to win a couple of these awards just
01:19:48
because it is something that a lot of people have been talking
01:19:51
about. It was one of those movies that
01:19:53
every time I would see a review come up or something come up,
01:19:56
I'd be like, what the fuck is a Hamnet?
01:19:59
Yeah. I know it's like Hamnet.
01:20:02
What, Hamlet on the Internet? We'll see, right?
01:20:06
OK, anyway, Oscars coming around.
01:20:08
Let's see. Oscars is March 15th, 2026.
01:20:15
That is right around the corner. Yeah, All right.
01:20:19
That was it. That was our last news piece.
01:20:21
Absolutely. That's that's it for for this
01:20:23
right here. So guys, let's jump into our
01:20:27
happenings of the weekend. Ladies and gentlemen, it is now
01:20:30
time for the geek and update. That's better.
01:20:43
All right. Well, ladies and gentlemen, this
01:20:45
weekend in Pasadena, CA, it was Pasadena Comic Con.
01:20:51
A whole bunch of fun things that went down over there.
01:20:53
Of course, SAT Geeks was representing and representing
01:20:57
SAT Geeks was our good friends, our our con correspondents.
01:21:05
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the show once again,
01:21:09
Sandra Galong from Galong Fam Cosplay Book first.
01:21:18
That's a great intro. Welcome, welcome.
01:21:23
Yes, but you're about to get eaten by a dinosaur behind you.
01:21:27
No, he's trained. He's nice.
01:21:33
OK. So yeah, like Philippe was
01:21:34
saying, I was there as a SAT geek.
01:21:38
Literally, I was being worked. So I didn't get to really play
01:21:45
and hang out as much as the typical con goer.
01:21:49
Scott Zellner had me putting setting up tables, putting
01:21:54
together VIP bags, running celebrities, which actually was
01:21:57
one of my favorite things I did on Sunday.
01:22:00
I got to, I know I text Phil about this.
01:22:03
I walked Tony Oliver to his table and I told him hey, Phil
01:22:09
says hi. There you go, good old Tony
01:22:13
Oliver Will. Keep us fresh in Tony Oliver's
01:22:16
Tony Oliver's head. Oh, is Zach on the stage?
01:22:19
Yes. Oh yeah, So I after running
01:22:23
people helping out, doing this, that and the other making sure
01:22:26
everyone had their waters and stuff, I did get to say hi to
01:22:29
Bulk and skull because I never got to meet them before.
01:22:32
So I was all ye fangirling about that and I had time to make it
01:22:38
to the Mighty motion Power Rangers once and always panel.
01:22:42
That's what that photo was from. And it was it was a nice, cool
01:22:48
conversation. It was really a short panel, but
01:22:52
it was really good. Like I took notes so I could
01:22:54
write A blog about it for the SAC Geeks website later.
01:22:59
You find out a lot of stuff, like you didn't think you know
01:23:02
because they asked one person one question and they try to
01:23:05
answer and then someone else jumps in and gives their opinion
01:23:08
and then you find out way more stuff and it was like a really
01:23:13
interesting and I have met almost all those Rangers before.
01:23:17
I know I've met Walter last year, I've met Steve Cardenas
01:23:22
twice. I've been around Karen Ashley.
01:23:26
I just never had the chance to actually say hello to her.
01:23:29
But it was fun. And also nerd Nerd Mafia was
01:23:35
right next to SAC geeks with. So the few times I got to like,
01:23:38
stop the table and go, hey, what's up, where's my Starbucks?
01:23:41
I was asked to get ordered for me.
01:23:45
They apparently needed a judge for the cosplay contest and
01:23:49
another board member, Sam said. Oh well, our our member,
01:23:53
Sandra's a cosplayer. I'm sure she'd do it.
01:23:57
And did it I did. I was a judge in the cosplay
01:24:01
contest with a nerd Mafia and that was like the hardest
01:24:07
contest I think I've ever judged and all the times I've judged a
01:24:09
contest. You are in Southern California.
01:24:12
Southern California is going to have a lot like, you know, you
01:24:15
have a lot of people who really go hard on their costumes down
01:24:19
there. True, and like for the people
01:24:21
who are watching the real with the black Ranger, the black Dino
01:24:26
Thunder Ranger, I thought he bought his costume.
01:24:29
He made that sucker. The only thing he bought was the
01:24:33
helmet, which I thought was very impressive because it looks so
01:24:38
clean. It was amazing.
01:24:40
Nice. Somebody cosplayed as bluey I'm.
01:24:43
Kidding. No, that was a 3D print.
01:24:45
No, I'm kidding. I just thought it was really
01:24:46
cool. I'm like, it's bluey.
01:24:47
Come on now. Were you down there with Bruce
01:24:52
and Jeff? No they didn't come on this
01:24:55
trip. I was travelling with Becks from
01:24:58
Sad Geeks so it was a girls trip.
01:25:00
Yeah, I love it. Nice.
01:25:04
You got to you got to con it up by yourself and you got pulled
01:25:07
into the cosplay tournament or the cosplay contest.
01:25:11
That's awesome. Yeah, I was amazed because I
01:25:14
guess out of our group that was there, I'm like the main
01:25:18
cosplayer who was there. So they're like, yeah, you could
01:25:22
have Sandra. So how how were the cosplays?
01:25:25
You said that they were bangers. Yeah, they were like, it was so
01:25:32
hard to like place people because so many people built
01:25:37
their stuff and did such great work on it.
01:25:41
And then their performance on top of it was amazing.
01:25:45
And it was like, who do you pick?
01:25:49
That's what held us up because we kept getting asked, are you
01:25:51
guys ready? Are you guys ready?
01:25:53
And it was really like, OK, we had to be very nitpicky about
01:25:58
it. They're like, yeah, they built
01:25:59
like, you know, they kind of tripped a little bit on the
01:26:02
stage. But then again, it wasn't their
01:26:05
fault because it's not their fault that no one cleared off
01:26:07
the the cords. But.
01:26:09
Everywhere. Yeah, there was plenty of
01:26:13
announcers saying don't trip on the spaghetti, but still
01:26:18
tripping happened on the spaghetti.
01:26:21
But it was it was an awesome contest.
01:26:24
And I was like, Oh my gosh. Yeah.
01:26:28
Every time I judge this has been the hardest 1 so far.
01:26:31
How we, how we, the attendance overall?
01:26:34
Felt crazy. Like that's good.
01:26:38
The registration was constantly busy with people coming in and
01:26:43
getting their stuff. And then, you know, they're
01:26:45
asking where such and such person is or this or that.
01:26:49
And it was just busy. Every time I walked back, it was
01:26:51
there. They're like, oh, Sandra, can
01:26:52
you show them where this person is?
01:26:54
Can you show them where that is? And, and I even like had to walk
01:26:58
celebrity guests to the parking garage because they didn't know
01:27:02
the way to the parking garage. Yeah, it's a little, it's a
01:27:05
little funky. That being said, I do enjoy the
01:27:09
Pasadena Convention Center and having cons there.
01:27:12
There's something about it where it's like big enough where it
01:27:16
feels big and exciting, but it's small enough where like nothing
01:27:20
so spread out and everything feels like you can see
01:27:24
everything, you know? I I do enjoy the Pasadena
01:27:27
Convention Center. Yeah, that's what I say cuz like
01:27:30
it also cuz the last time I was there was Paramorphicon a couple
01:27:34
years ago. It's the same but different, if
01:27:37
that makes sense. Well, it's kind of layout.
01:27:41
But yeah, both are done by Scott Zillner, so you better keep
01:27:44
Scott happy. That's why I was working so
01:27:47
hard, because I was like, I know I'm going to be at Power
01:27:50
Morphicon and you. Set up tables.
01:27:52
You throw people through tables, Whatever, Scott says, we'll make
01:27:55
it happen. Exactly.
01:27:56
And pretty much putting people through tables.
01:27:58
You know, if the if the audience wants tables, you give them
01:28:00
tables. So sack geeks, you, you were
01:28:03
there with sack geeks getting more, more wrestling references,
01:28:06
right? You were there with sack geeks.
01:28:09
Tell us about. That first.
01:28:12
Oh. I got to help escort him to his
01:28:15
table. Oh nice.
01:28:17
He's he's cool, you know, he just wanted us to, he wants us
01:28:22
to pay him to come on the show. Talk to Scott, I guess I.
01:28:28
Don't know, it's the hustle. It's the hustle.
01:28:30
No, and I don't, I don't, I, I respect it.
01:28:33
I mean, you know, once, once we have a little bit more in our
01:28:35
pocket, I, I don't mind paying. He's not asking for a lot.
01:28:39
So it's like, you know, I, I don't mind paying.
01:28:42
Anyway, so. So we need to do a fundraiser
01:28:44
for you guys is. I know, right?
01:28:46
No. But so, yeah, so work in the
01:28:47
booth at that con, right? Like because you, because you
01:28:49
were working the booth before you did the cosmic contest and
01:28:51
everything like that. What?
01:28:52
What was that experience like? Well, it, well, it was for me.
01:28:57
That part's so simple because I do the SAC geeks table all the
01:29:00
time. So it was really much like spin
01:29:02
the wheel, get a prize. And we also had this feature
01:29:06
where if you wanted to get a souvenir photo taken by night
01:29:10
Sweetie. Night, Bruce, go to.
01:29:12
Sleep night, Bruce. Go to sleep, buddy.
01:29:14
Go to sleep, Bruce. It's not night time.
01:29:16
There's OK here, here real quick.
01:29:18
They're recording. Say OK, say it again.
01:29:20
Go to sleep, Bruce. Go to sleep.
01:29:22
Not night time. Good night buddy.
01:29:24
Iffy. OK, go to sleep.
01:29:26
He's like, I can go to sleep now.
01:29:29
Yeah, 'cause he was like, I wanted to tell me good night, so
01:29:33
go to sleep. Anyways, back to the booth.
01:29:36
So yeah, it's, we had a photographer there.
01:29:39
We got a souvenir photo if you wanted to get one.
01:29:43
Donations were asked for and it turned out really good.
01:29:49
Some cosplayers didn't pick up their photos and I ended up
01:29:53
bringing home the box of stuff and now I have photos.
01:29:58
Photos that you're going to give the SAT geek so they can sell
01:30:01
them and and support the nonprofit organization.
01:30:04
Thanks. Yes.
01:30:07
Or sit in your house on a wall. That's fine too.
01:30:10
That's fine too. Yeah, yeah, because I also met a
01:30:14
Mandalorian pool and saw that he asked for application to the
01:30:18
Council of Wades and I have to get that to him.
01:30:21
Very nice, very nice. Real quick Matt in the chat
01:30:24
native O says I need to go to another Power Morphin con.
01:30:27
The last one I went to was awesome.
01:30:29
Hey Matt, come on, just have comic book buy you a plane
01:30:35
ticket. We'll get you out here.
01:30:37
Yep. We know Scott.
01:30:39
Sandra knows Scott. We might have to put you through
01:30:41
a table that she sets up, but that's fine, we'll make it
01:30:44
happen. It's all worth it.
01:30:46
This is what we're going to call it.
01:30:47
We're going to call it powerbomb.
01:30:49
Powerbombs for SAT geeks. There you go right.
01:30:52
And you know, I'll just be powerbombing people through
01:30:55
tables the entire. It's like it's like they need
01:30:57
dunk tank. Exactly.
01:30:59
And then, Matt, what we can do is when somebody pays for a
01:31:03
powerbomb, we can 3D them through the table.
01:31:05
It'll be great. Oh, they see.
01:31:08
And you could be dressed as Bane.
01:31:11
Yeah, and and and that's the thing.
01:31:12
That's the thing, Matt, you can hit me across the chest and do
01:31:16
Phil get the table. So with that being said, before
01:31:25
we before before we have you do your plugs, give us a quick plug
01:31:29
for a SAT geeks. Oh, I haven't plugged us in a
01:31:34
minute. So that threw me off.
01:31:37
So SAC Geeks is a Sacramento based nonprofit organization
01:31:41
promoting geek culture and we are run purely off donations.
01:31:44
So if you anyone ever wants to donate, you just go to
01:31:46
sacgeeks.com. You hit the donate button and
01:31:49
donate. And we appreciate it and we use
01:31:51
it to fund us going to conventions, putting on
01:31:55
workshops, the markets that we do for free at Lucid Winery in
01:31:59
Newhall, Visa every other month. And yeah, if you guys check the
01:32:04
socials, we do have an event in February at New Helicia for
01:32:09
Valentine. And if you donate to SAT Geeks,
01:32:13
they are an official nonprofit. So it's a write off, right?
01:32:17
It is. It's a 5O1C.
01:32:18
We will, if you want it, we will write you a receipt and
01:32:21
everything because not everyone does.
01:32:23
They're just like here. Just take the money, go have fun
01:32:26
with it, or pay your bills. So with that being said, we just
01:32:32
did a whole plug for SAT geeks. Give us a a plug for for Delong
01:32:36
Pham cosplay. So yeah, I'm a member and one of
01:32:41
the founders of Delong Pham Cosplay and we are on the road
01:32:44
to 200 on YouTube. Oh, wait a minute, wait a
01:32:46
minute, we have. For this I got something for
01:32:49
this. We currently have 167 and that
01:32:57
is because while I was at Pasadena Comic Con, I was giving
01:33:02
out these little bad boys. Oh, the ribbons.
01:33:08
Yes, I was giving these out so when you saw me and I had actual
01:33:13
time to talk, I've had people subscribe to our YouTube channel
01:33:18
and gave them one of these and I have a lot more and that is one
01:33:22
of the things we'll be doing at Verse Con this coming weekend.
01:33:26
That's right. Which which I will be at.
01:33:28
I'm going to be at Verse Con this weekend and I'm going to be
01:33:31
there both days. It's going to be great.
01:33:33
You're going to be our within, boy.
01:33:36
Verse Con is here in Sacramento put on by Impound Comics.
01:33:40
Shout out to Impound Comics. Partnered with Sat Geeks, may I
01:33:43
add. And Sat Geeks has their own
01:33:46
little ribbon too. I have them.
01:33:49
Very nice. That's right.
01:33:51
That's right. Who's your graphics department?
01:33:53
Look at these graphics with the logo and the.
01:33:56
Made by our lovely Co founder Jeff.
01:34:00
There you go, beautiful graphics.
01:34:04
Yeah, he made that and sent it to me.
01:34:06
He's like sent give this to Phil to put up, OK?
01:34:11
There you go. And verse con I think it is.
01:34:16
Is it just verse? con.com.
01:34:19
Now I believe it's impound.com. Verse convention.
01:34:23
My bad. That's what.
01:34:24
I OK verse yeah, I can change the name of it too.
01:34:27
Yes. And so I get confused.
01:34:29
That's how I just go on the socials or I just text Brent
01:34:32
because I have his number. But that that'll be fun.
01:34:35
And I think it's going to be a big like Dragon Ball Z theme,
01:34:39
yeah. So that'll be fun, yeah.
01:34:41
So Josh Martin's going to be there, Young Melee's going to be
01:34:44
there. See a court.
01:34:47
Kendall Bird, our our good friend Dale Kelly's going to be
01:34:50
there. Stephanie Nadoni, who she she
01:34:54
she had to reschedule from last week, but we'll see her this
01:34:57
weekend. Actually, I don't think they've
01:35:01
announced it yet, but I found out on Sunday that she had to
01:35:05
cancel because she's still not feeling well.
01:35:07
Oh, yeah, She was still, like I said, she was feeling sick.
01:35:10
So when she texted us, yeah, she just has.
01:35:12
She wasn't feeling good. Yeah, so apparently whatever
01:35:15
she's got going on is still going on.
01:35:18
So she unfortunately cancelled and hopefully will be at the
01:35:21
next first con after this one. Oh, that's and then Eric Ruse.
01:35:25
I see your comment. I will let the board know about
01:35:29
that and then I'll ask Phil for the contact information.
01:35:32

news organization. I'm obviously not positive when
01:42:23
I'm talking about like, you know, rich people, but I mean,
01:42:25
there you go. Yeah, I was wondering where
01:42:28
you're going with that. I was like, no one knows our
01:42:30
dark side. Don't tell them.
01:42:32
No, no, I'm positive when it comes to the majority of things.
01:42:34
It's more like, you know, when we start talking about like
01:42:37
Zazlov and Iger, then I start getting kind of down the
01:42:40
negative hole. But anyways, let's not do that.
01:42:42
Let's let's go over here. Ladies and gentlemen, if you
01:42:44

I want to, I want to, I want to mock read somebody, you know,
01:43:08
talking smack about us. OK, I do.

01:43:43
joke a couple of weeks ago, but I'm the, the, the offer is still
01:43:46

01:43:50
