I mean, he talks to everybody when we were at the con, right?
00:08:26
The fun story Fred, you while I'm making this drink, you want
00:08:28
to tell him what happened the other day.
00:08:30
OK, so Oh no. Uh, we're talking in one of our,
00:08:34
UH chat and suddenly there's a video call from Bill.
00:08:38
And so the first time I was like, oh, this is probably about
00:08:41
dial. So I just, like, ended it.
00:08:43
And then the second time I was like, I know he's done it twice.
00:08:47
I have to give him crap about this.
00:08:49
And so I answer it and I was like hello.
00:08:52
Like, why is something going out of my pocket?
00:08:55
So he guess he's like, uh, what happened?
00:08:57
And I was like, I think about dial.
00:08:58
Mean. He was like, yeah, but dial.
00:09:00
Oh my my immediate answer. As soon as I picked it up, I was
00:09:03
like, did I butt dial you again? Yeah.
00:09:06
Because it's not the first time that I've butt dialed that like
00:09:09
people in groups like that. Yeah.
00:09:11
So good. As soon as we get it on the same
00:09:14
page, uh, Art from UH KC Peach is jumping on the call too.
00:09:18
So then we go through it again and as soon as we're done doing
00:09:21
it, all three of us. Around the same page, uh,
00:09:23
Captain Lady Moon from Casey. He jumps on.
00:09:26
And we had to. Say it all.
00:09:27
Over again. It was like, Oh my gosh, yeah.
00:09:29
And then I think someone said we should make this a short.
00:09:32
I was like, yeah, if they knew how odd we are, we're not on on
00:09:37
the show. Spewing all this from the other
00:09:41
room that that was arc saying, uh, that somebody needs to find
00:09:45
a way to record this and this needs to become a short.
00:09:47
Yeah. It's just ridiculous.
00:09:49
Everyone's butt was thinking of each other.
00:09:51
That's great. I but obviously thinks of
00:09:53
everybody because I don't know if you guys remember the story
00:09:56
from a while back. I told them that.
00:09:57
But there's a There's one time where I butt out our entire
00:10:02

00:14:07
Yay in Reno. It's it's in Medford, OR because
00:14:16
James didn't change it? It's always called an Medford.
00:14:19
Is yeah, an anime convention in it.
00:14:22
Yes, that's 100%. You guessed it.
00:14:24
Was just somebody named the Annie Medford.
00:14:25
That was me, yeah. So it is specifically an anime
00:14:29
uh, convention that that Colossus girl puts on.
00:14:32
Uh, that's in Medford OR so. They just played on the name.
00:14:35
It's Annie Medford. This is the first time they're
00:14:37
doing a two year or a two day event, so usually it's only one
00:14:41
day. They're doing 2 days this year.
00:14:43
Nice. All right.
00:14:44
Well my other thing was gonna I was gonna say that it was every
00:14:49
like all the Anakins everybody who loved Anakin Skywalker cuz
00:14:52
Annie Medford. That sounds like a show that I
00:14:54
would want to go to. Just make sure that you dress up
00:14:57
as forgetting his name character from King of the Hill.
00:15:03
What's his name? Which?
00:15:04
1 The dude with the bald guy with the glasses.
00:15:08
Oh, no, no. Is that Bill?
00:15:10
No, that's not Bill. No, no, you're talking about
00:15:13
Dale, Dale. Dale if if there's ever a an
00:15:18
Anakin Skywalker convention, you have to dress up as Dale,
00:15:22
specifically as Dale Dribble, right?
00:15:25
Because then you can just walk around to random Anakin to go
00:15:28
park saying. Like that?
00:15:34
Cool. It's rough and stop throwing it
00:15:36
out. Coarse and rough gets
00:15:40
everywhere. Pockets Hand.
00:15:45
I will destroy you. The Force doesn't work in my
00:15:47
world, so try and choke me all you want, but it's not gonna
00:15:53
work. It's over.
00:15:55
I have the pocket saying Anakin, it's over.
00:16:00
I have the pocket saying the best part is he's like a
00:16:04
conspiracy theorist too. So it's just like, well, in
00:16:06
reality, the government, the government is the one trying to
00:16:09
take you down, Anakin. And you know who the government
00:16:14
is? Emperor Palpatine's the
00:16:15
government. Oh, that's another good one.
00:16:20
Pocket saying. Yeah.
00:16:22
All right, ladies and gentlemen, let's get into this, because it
00:16:28
is now turn to start some rumors.
00:16:30
I don't. Know any?
00:16:31
Get in their nose but. I've got mad genetic control.
00:16:48
Let's go ahead and leave this up for a second just so that way we
00:16:51
can, uh, give Frey a little bit of anxiety.
00:16:54
Yeah, the nail biters. It's just like when it's up too
00:16:59
long, which is why I'm leaving it up even longer.
00:17:02
So the question is, it's what is too long though the entire
00:17:06
segment. All right, ladies and gentlemen.
00:17:09
Just, Oh my. God, guys, need to talk about Oh
00:17:16
yeah, so let's talk about this Shang Chi guys, Shang Chi and
00:17:20
the legend of the 10 Ring star Simu Liu.
00:17:24
Recently did, huh? I just said Simulu as I like
00:17:27
saying, I'm not. He's.
00:17:28
It's a fun name to say, honestly.
00:17:30
It really is, say his name honestly.
00:17:33
Uh, Shang Chi in the legend of the 10 ring star Simu Liu
00:17:36
recently, didn't a little Ask Me Anything session on the new
00:17:39
Threads social media platform. During that session, the actor
00:17:42
was asked about a status, the status of Shang Chi too, and he
00:17:45
revealed that it would happen after Avengers.
00:17:48
But he didn't specify what Avengers movie it was.
00:17:51
There are two upcoming Avengers movies that have been announced.
00:17:54
There are Avengers The King Dynasty and The Avengers Secret
00:17:57
Wars, both of which have been pushed back and will be released
00:18:00
in 2026 and 2027 respectively. Only three films have been
00:18:04
announced for Phase Six so far, which include the two Avengers
00:18:08
movies and Fantastic Four. So Shang Chi two could very well
00:18:11
end up being a part of Phase Six, but it's not.
00:18:14
I guess that means we can expect in expected in Phase Seven.
00:18:18
So I guess the question is, I guess the tacos on the table,
00:18:22
right? A Shang Chi be in phase seven or
00:18:24
is it going to be in phase six? So I'm gonna give you guys kind
00:18:27
of a choice, but like, you know, given that the rumor is kind of
00:18:29
just like, you know, just being ambiguous, right?
00:18:31
Yes. All right.
00:18:32
My mouse on the wrong screen. There we go.
00:18:37
Feels firing on all cylinders tonight.
00:18:40
Remember I have to do all of this on my own and I have two
00:18:42
screens and I lose my mouth sometimes so.
00:18:45
I do the same thing and you give me such crap when we get you on
00:18:48
you like. Get into the chat.
00:18:50
I know you do. So guys, again.
00:18:54
Oh God, so sorry. Before we get into the the tacos
00:18:58
on here right. Happy Rock sets day to James.
00:19:02
It's because we love him. All right, let's start this
00:19:08
timer, guys. Let's get to tacos on the table,
00:19:10
guys. What do you guys think?
00:19:11
I have something. Yeah, I'm gonna say I'm not
00:19:15
putting any. My table Executive tacos, acting
00:19:19
tacos, no tacos on on the table list because I wanted to be in
00:19:23
phase six. Why do you want it in phase six?
00:19:26
So because we need. Like he needs another movie.
00:19:28
And yeah, I think we need to establish it.
00:19:30
He's just like when when we left off with him, he had used the
00:19:33
rings once. So there's going to be a time
00:19:36
where he's, he needs to, you know, he needs to ramp himself
00:19:40
up. And I, you know, I think and I'd
00:19:41
also like to see Avengers moves. So that's like like, I mean, he
00:19:44
is. He should be an Avenger.
00:19:46
He's got some pretty awesome powers, but I think, I I don't
00:19:49
think that we are, you know, moving, moving on and saying
00:19:53
that he's not going to be in Avengers King Dynasty.
00:19:57
They're just saying that his next solo movie is after
00:20:00
Avengers. It's I what I'm gonna say is
00:20:02
because it's gonna be the King Dynasty and then speak secret
00:20:05
wars, correct. Yes.
00:20:06
So I'm gonna say it's probably gonna be the one of those in
00:20:09
between things to kind of fill in or stuff that we didn't see
00:20:12
that's gonna probably happen in King Dynasty.
00:20:14
Kind of like what they've done in past movies, I don't know.
00:20:16
Maybe. No, I mean, and I think, OK,
00:20:18
yeah, no, I want it, but I want to be in six, so huh, So so The
00:20:21
thing is, is that when is King Dynasty?
00:20:23
Is that 6IN Secret Wars 7? Both.
00:20:27
Six. So then it's gonna be six base
00:20:30
7, I'm gonna say talks on table, it's gonna be in six, OK.
00:20:33
I just yeah, I want it to be in six.
00:20:35
Yeah, we're saying talk to the people for that.
00:20:37
I'll put all of them on there except the executives because
00:20:39
I'm keeping those back as leverage.
00:20:41
My my comments on the tacos are on the table.
00:20:43
Yeah, my tacos are also on the table.
00:20:45
I say that Chung Chi is gonna be in phase six.
00:20:48
It should be in phase six. It's good.
00:20:50
I want it. Soon we're wrong and by proxy.
00:20:53
Be more of Madison. I want less awk afina.
00:20:55
That's all I'm gonna say. I.
00:20:57
Love turning it. I'm not gonna.
00:20:59
Do this. All the.
00:21:00
Time but. We need to ask Madison Madison
00:21:03
their chocolates on the table. But tacos?
00:21:05
Are we having Tacos for us by Margarita?
00:21:09
All right. UH Margarita is on the table.
00:21:19
So that was the only rumor we had.
00:21:20
Let's show OK. That was the only rumor.
00:21:25
So yeah, no. Was go ahead and move on to
00:21:29
another triggering thing for for for Fray right here.
00:21:32
You act like I've got all this like issue.
00:21:36
Just with these things, right? Uh, just because you've
00:21:39
mentioned them in the show before.
00:21:41
Oh God. Another.
00:21:44
Thing another trigger. I chose so it means that I'm
00:21:48
autumn, I'm trying to trigger Fray, basically.
00:21:51
So wait, so the triggers for Fray are one of those things is
00:21:54
like where you start something and then you just.
00:21:56
Oh, just yeah, you'll. You'll.
00:21:57
Understand shit later. Yeah.
00:21:59
You year. No, that that's that's something
00:22:02
that makes her laugh. It's not a triggering thing.
00:22:04
Oh. I do that because it makes her
00:22:07
laugh. No, this thing.
00:22:09
And you'll see here in a second you you you probably remember
00:22:12
from last time you're on the show, but something that
00:22:14
triggers her. Is this because guys, it's time?
00:22:21
Yeah. Yeah, That's fair.
00:22:23
That's fair. For a little triggering.
00:22:26
For those of you who only listen to the show that don't watch
00:22:29
what's on the screen right now is a guy holding on for dear
00:22:33
life on a computer keyboard. Uh, while like a?
00:22:36
Rainbow is coming out of the computer and blowing, trying to
00:22:39
blow him away. He's trying.
00:22:40
To was a very, very liberal computer.
00:22:42
Yeah, Yes, yes, yes, yes. And I fully support the
00:22:44
computer, whatever the computer wants.
00:22:46
To do absolutely, uh, what it is, is it's it's the Internet is
00:22:50
blasting in his face, right? MMM, yeah.
00:22:52
OK, that checks out. Checked out.
00:22:57
All right, guys. You guys know we usually try and
00:23:00
start with pressing news first. Now, I mean before we do
00:23:04
anything, remember guys check out the distant surgeons and
00:23:06
post for more news, all the trailers reactions.
00:23:09
Let us know what you're nerding out on this week and and you'll
00:23:12
see like all the trailers, everything that comes out, all
00:23:14
the new news. Now why I say that this is not
00:23:17
happy news is mainly because this still hasn't been resolved
00:23:21
and people are not being paid the way that they should be.
00:23:24
Because ladies and gentlemen, as of what was the date it was?
00:23:29
Is it in the 12th? I think it was the 12th as of
00:23:32
the 12th of of July. Yeah, SAG AFTRA is officially on
00:23:38
strike. So virtually all of Hollywood
00:23:41
has been shut down due to ongoing strikes with the WGA and
00:23:45
and SAG AFTRA. I mean the WGA still hasn't been
00:23:48
resolved and this is kind of it's troubling that the studios
00:23:51
don't want to help them, you know, get to where they need to
00:23:53
be. But before we get to.
00:23:54
Opinions, one of the unions behind the stoppages, is
00:23:57
allowing films to continue under certain circumstances.
00:24:00
According to one new trade report, at least six productions
00:24:02
have have been given the green light from SAG after officials
00:24:06
to continue filming principal photography.
00:24:09
Since the strike is a result of failed negotiations between SAG
00:24:12
AFTRA and the Alliance of Motion Pictures and Television
00:24:15
Producers, or the AMPTP, which will refer to as Your Ford, the
00:24:20
union is allowing select independent pictures to film.
00:24:23
I think it was. Anything less than 2323 million
00:24:27
was it? Oh yeah.
00:24:28
I think it was something like that.
00:24:30
I don't think it was 30 million. Yeah, that sounds about right.
00:24:34
It was. It was.
00:24:34
It was a really low number, which only reason I know that
00:24:38
number is because Kevin Smith on on Fat Man Beyond was talking
00:24:44
about they're getting ready to do principal photography on one
00:24:47
of his on his latest film. And the only reason that they're
00:24:50
able to continue only only reason they're able to do it, is
00:24:53
because. The film is like less than 2020
00:24:58
grand 20 million or something like that.
00:24:59
Oh, that's great. Yeah.
00:25:00
I mean, if it's a like independent films and stuff like
00:25:03
that, they very rarely had the big studios that they strike
00:25:06
against, right? You know, so they're just making
00:25:09
the film and then usually they go to the big dogs to
00:25:12
distribute. It distribute it, right?
00:25:13
Right, Right. So there's little recent
00:25:16
precedent for the waiver template, given that the last
00:25:18
SAG strike for the actual and TV actors was in the 80s, the trade
00:25:23
reports the Guilds website. Promised weeks ago that when the
00:25:26
strike was authorized, waivers would be granted, but it didn't
00:25:29
disclose terms how or when. Marvel star Mark Ruffalo wrote a
00:25:33
lengthy Twitter thread trying to convince the Union to push more
00:25:36
actors into independent filmmaker How about we all jump
00:25:39
into Indies? Now content creators create a
00:25:41
film and TV making system alongside the studio and
00:25:44
streaming networks, so there's actually competition like the
00:25:47
actors. Smart man.
00:25:49
Yeah, very smart man, he is. Yep, Select the Actors Guild.
00:25:52
The Writers Guild of America is also.
00:25:54
On strike over similar issues, some of the latest reporting
00:25:57
cited studio executives telling trades they hope to push
00:26:00
negotiations until October or November.
00:26:02
And it's in an attempt to put the heat on the writers to come
00:26:06
to an agreement. Uh honestly, these studios, it's
00:26:09
it's really becoming corporate greed at this point, right?
00:26:12
Because it's kind of like, Oh yeah, you guys make a crap ton
00:26:15
of money. You know, like, I I not to
00:26:18
single out one person, you know I'm not even gonna say the name
00:26:20
because I don't want to I I don't want to like jump on this.
00:26:23
But like there is a. Certain studio exec that runs a
00:26:30
maximum maximum streaming curve. You don't know where I'm going
00:26:37
with that. Yeah, right.
00:26:41
Yeah. But The thing is is like his
00:26:44
home alone. No, they don't own that.
00:26:46
OK, never mind. But his, the, the home that he
00:26:49
lives in is a $60 million home. You make enough money, allow
00:26:55
everyone else to get a little bit of that.
00:26:58
Like I was looking at this thing that said that the writer, the
00:27:03
person who wrote the episode that featured Daredevil.
00:27:06
Um, feels she Hulk. He got $395 and no residuals.
00:27:12
What in the well? That's ridiculous.
00:27:15
So. Right now, contrary to how a lot
00:27:18
of the Internet feels about about she Hulk, the show did
00:27:22
gangbusters like it, did like it, you know, it got all the
00:27:25
numbers. Everybody watched it multiple
00:27:27
times. So it's like a lot of people are
00:27:29
gonna hate on it and whatnot, and there's a lot of people who
00:27:31
are haters. I personally like the show.
00:27:33
I'm sure I loved. I'm gonna be the dark horse here
00:27:36
and I'm like, no, I didn't like it, but.
00:27:38
Like, I felt like it followed books exactly like you got the
00:27:42
essence of the character perf, right.
00:27:43
So I mean, like there were, there were.
00:27:45
Perfectly, Jennifer Walters. From the comic, no.
00:27:48
But I feel like it got her essence.
00:27:49
I thought it was cute. I.
00:27:51
Thought in it, it was very. Much in the vein of of she
00:27:54
Health. And so yeah, and I can't believe
00:27:56
that someone got paid less than $400 to write an episode.
00:28:00
To write also did not get residuals considering the most
00:28:04
it's it was the most profit making TV show of all the shows
00:28:08
that they've released this year. Wow.
00:28:10
So in the. When it comes to the when it
00:28:12
comes to the writers, I can see how, yes, go on strike.
00:28:15
Because you guys, they really don't get paid, get paid
00:28:17
pennies, obviously with 300 and 400 bucks for an episode that is
00:28:21
gonna continue to air on, you know, Disney's Disney Plus until
00:28:24
they finally take the whole show off.
00:28:26
It's ridiculous. Right.
00:28:27
You know, writers should be treated a whole hell of a lot
00:28:30
better than they do. Now for actors, I I where I go
00:28:35
on this, a lot of people immediately think that a listers
00:28:39
are the ones who, you know, kind of dictate everything.
00:28:41
But you gotta remember, like 70% of people in SAG AFTRA are
00:28:45
working. Actors are actors that don't.
00:28:47
Get paid all that. Well, that get paid scale.
00:28:49
And if you know what scale is, it's not that much, no, I think.
00:28:53
You're saying like they're lucky if they get 26?
00:28:55
I was just gonna say it averages out to like a working actor can
00:29:00
maybe make about 30, like 30 grand a year.
00:29:02
Well, not even live in LA. No, it's not even 30 grand.
00:29:05
It prays about right where it's about 26 because most of
00:29:09
these working actors, and I'm talking like, again, not the A,
00:29:12
A Listers, but those that are the background players and all
00:29:14
that other stuff, right? Can't even have enough money to
00:29:16
get or they don't even qualify for medical insurance because
00:29:20
they're under $26. Right, right.
00:29:22
They can't get medical insurance, they.
00:29:23
Don't act and book so much and make so much so they can pay the
00:29:26
dues and all that. So, so I can see the working
00:29:30
class actors out there and yeah, fight for what you need or what
00:29:33
you want to make a living a listers.
00:29:35
It's nice that you guys are showing support for them, but
00:29:38
you guys shouldn't say we. You should be saying we're here
00:29:40
for them. Well, see things I I respect how
00:29:43
like the reaction that a lot of these A listers are doing, like
00:29:46
they're on the picket lines. With them, they're all out there
00:29:48
trying to fight for them and stuff like that.
00:29:49
Like it's not like the majority of a listers are sitting back
00:29:52
like, oh whatever. Like a lot of them are out there
00:29:54
fighting for all these actors. And I think I find that come in,
00:29:57
you know, I that would be something that is like
00:29:59
respectful because like you know, not everybody can be Keanu
00:30:03
Reeves and just give your entire paycheck as an A list or give
00:30:06
your entire paycheck to the to the to the crew, right.
00:30:08
But I mean, like, you know, like it's it's like and hence why
00:30:11
again, we always talk about how Keanu Reeves is like, you know,
00:30:14
the greatest man in existence. Because he's known.
00:30:17
For doing stuff like that, right?
00:30:18
I want to have his baby. I know he.
00:30:19
Did Little Buddha dead? Oh, wow.
00:30:21
Little Boo? I knew he was really the real.
00:30:30
But I mean, like, you know, it's it's because some actors get
00:30:32
royalties for movies and things like that, right?
00:30:34
I mean, yeah. But like, they're even like,
00:30:36
they were talking about Sean Gunn was like SAG after like
00:30:39
Film 10. And he was talking about like he
00:30:41
did Gilmore Girls. And that's like a really
00:30:44
success. That's like one of the most
00:30:45
successful shows on Netflix. It is like, I think it like
00:30:49
really launched Netflix into streaming.
00:30:51
And I mean, Gilmore Girls is already like a massive show to
00:30:54
begin with. I don't know what you guys
00:30:56
talking about this Gilmore Girls stuff.
00:31:00
You mean the? He thinks he got like, over the
00:31:04
whole time, like maybe $20, yeah.
00:31:06
Residuals. That's disrespectful.
00:31:08
Yeah, that's because they, the companies find ways to say
00:31:11
they're losing money S they don't have to pay the residuals.
00:31:14
It is just complete and total. But it's it's no You can curse.
00:31:17
I don't know if I can curse. That's fine.
00:31:20
It's. Complete and total bullshit is
00:31:21
what it is. Yeah, seriously.
00:31:23
It's but it also kind of sucks because now we have no Inter
00:31:25
payment until they solve this. That's the point, you know?
00:31:28
Yeah, the point if we want it back, we got a fight.
00:31:30
We fight with them. Yeah, I don't know if you guys
00:31:32
remember the Last strike. They, at least the writers went
00:31:35
on back in 2007, right in the middle of Heroes.
00:31:38
That's why we got such a crappy end to Heroes.
00:31:41
Right. And that's why Heroes got
00:31:42
canceled. I mean, like, yeah, yours was a
00:31:44
good show was, you know, it suffered because there was,
00:31:47
there's no good writing, you know.
00:31:49
And it's kind of like it's it does kind of piss me off to see
00:31:52
that again, these these giant studio execs, you know?
00:31:56
Who oh, we make all the moves and all this stuff.
00:31:58
But yeah, but you guys aren't putting all the work in that get
00:32:00
that actually makes you this money, you know?
00:32:02
And it's like the writers, the directors, the crew, the actors
00:32:06
are the ones that are doing all of this for you.
00:32:08
Like if it wasn't for all of this, you would be nothing.
00:32:11
Right. You're the feudal Lord
00:32:12
collecting taxes from the surf, right?
00:32:14
Oh my, What's them pushing it? Trying to push it out till
00:32:17
October. It's basically trying to starve
00:32:19
them out. It's like.
00:32:20
Yeah, that's what they're doing. That's all they're doing, which
00:32:22
really sucks so. That's exactly what they're
00:32:24
doing. They're they're just trying.
00:32:26
To get that, they're trying to get actors and writers to just
00:32:29
kind of like, OK, well, we'll see what happens when you lose
00:32:31
your house. And that's bullshit.
00:32:33
It is. It is absolute bullshit.
00:32:34
Yeah, you know, you're you're you're making somebody have to
00:32:38
choose between not making anymore money and being OK with
00:32:42
status quo and losing their home when you don't have that risk at
00:32:46
all. Yeah, it is.
00:32:47
It's, it's. The companies are getting into
00:32:49
petty bullshit. Yep.
00:32:50
And and the unions are just trying to fight were the rights
00:32:53
of the people in their union. I mean, that's it.
00:32:56
And and I don't think what writers and the actors are
00:32:59
asking for is unreasonable. It's not.
00:33:02
It's been 63 years since both have been on strike together.
00:33:06
Yeah. So I think it's.
00:33:08
I think things will change. I just don't know if it's which
00:33:10
way it's gonna change and how long it's gonna go on.
00:33:13
But I'm in full support of the unions.
00:33:15
Yeah. I'm so glad that we are
00:33:17
entertainment. Journalists and we report the
00:33:20
news and we report on things and we don't promote stuff so that
00:33:24
we can fully support them. I'm just glad that, yeah, that's
00:33:27
they're sticking together and I'm hoping that these cowardly
00:33:31
companies and networks crumble like the little kids that they
00:33:35
are, right? I mean, a lot of these fat cats,
00:33:38
you know, the whole thing is like country is starting to just
00:33:41
kind of realize that there's there's a small amount of people
00:33:44
at the top that make all the money and it's kind of like
00:33:46
we're getting tired of it and. Everybody should have their own
00:33:49
fair share, but we're not going to get into politics.
00:33:51
We're gonna move into the next story, yeah.
00:33:53
Because this is the. This would be the whole stream
00:33:55
if we did and no one wants to hear that so.
00:33:58
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we do have one more thing
00:34:00
here. I'm gonna be a little iffy on
00:34:02
what we can report on. Well, I guess because we are
00:34:04
reporting on this and it's not that we're promoting anything.
00:34:07
So, I mean, Hollywood has been halted, guys.
00:34:10
All the Marvel studio productions such as Deadpool,
00:34:12
Three, which saddens me, but at the same time I understand and
00:34:17
I'm happy that they're compliant.
00:34:18
That they're being compliant with it and saying hey, no,
00:34:20
we're not going to continue or something like that, you know,
00:34:22
like some other productions are doing, but you know, such as
00:34:24
Deadpool Three, Daredevil, Born Again, Agatha, Coven of Chaos,
00:34:28
Captain America, Brave New World, Wonder Man and
00:34:31
Thunderbolts. They've all been paused.
00:34:32
Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige and Louie Desposito have gone
00:34:37
ahead and issued a joint statement to their staff that
00:34:39
addresses the production delays that are caused by the
00:34:41
simultaneous strikes at WGA and SAG AFTRA.
00:34:44
So quote coming for I'm not sure who who's coming.
00:34:48
Coming from, but it's it's one of.
00:34:50
Them. Both of them.
00:34:51
So this is the joint statement then.
00:34:54
OK, quote, we recognize how much you've all done on your specific
00:34:58
projects and it's disappointing when carefully laid plans have
00:35:01
to shift. But constant changes is the
00:35:04
nature of the production business and our teams are no
00:35:06
stranger to unexpected challenges and rising to meet
00:35:09
them. We deeply appreciate all of your
00:35:11
efforts to make the best of the situation, and we can all hope
00:35:14
that a new agreement will be finalized soon so we can resume
00:35:17
the great work. We have, we have in process.
00:35:20
I mean I I respect that again that Kevin and and Louie
00:35:23
Desposito are both kind of like at least in line with saying
00:35:27
hey, you know, hopefully everything get that the
00:35:30
agreement gets done. You know what it's everything's
00:35:32
being halted because of what's going on.
00:35:35
But he's not saying like you know end this and do anything
00:35:38
like that. He's saying, you know you know
00:35:39
you're the hard work you guys are doing is gonna pay off and
00:35:43
we'll be back to work at some point.
00:35:44
You know, like, I like that he's not trying to push anything and
00:35:47
he's just. Saying like let's you know what
00:35:50
happens, happens and we're all here for each other.
00:35:52
Yeah, it's just weird because I think since the pandemic they
00:35:56
could probably have a plan for when unexpected changes occur
00:36:00
now. And we know, we know that's
00:36:02
happened multiple times, yeah. Yeah.
00:36:03
So so they probably have this. Playbook now for it.
00:36:06
So I do like that it it's a positive message.
00:36:09
Having bike, he's still being like, hey, I'm the good guy.
00:36:13
If anything's coming down and hear any bad stuff, it is not
00:36:16
coming from me. It's coming from Bob Iger
00:36:18
because that man can't keep his mouth shut when he's on an
00:36:21
airplane anyway. Oh God, us.
00:36:26
When we're going to be talking about Bob Iger here in a little
00:36:28
bit, It'll also happens to be my wife's all past.
00:36:34
Good choice, Good choice. Is her other Hall pass it's it's
00:36:38
yeah. So better looking at Disney
00:36:42
passes out of that, I'm saying. It's better looking than Dumbo.
00:36:45
So I mean, it's fine. Not by much.
00:36:51
But yeah, and I'm upset because, you know, I half wait longer to
00:36:54
see Charlie Fox again. That's what I'm upset about.
00:36:56
Yeah, I mean, I'm, I'm upset that I have to wait for Agatha
00:37:00
Covenant of Chaos because. Oh, I'm upset about.
00:37:02
You know, because I. As much as I want to watch that,
00:37:05
we all know my hall passes in that show, so.
00:37:09
Oh, I get it. I get it.
00:37:10
Oh, Charlie Cox isn't even my Hall.
00:37:12
The Chris Evans is my hall. He's just got a cool name.
00:37:14
Cox, right? No, I.
00:37:17
Just well. She said Yeah, no, well.
00:37:20
You know, I mean, no. I mean.
00:37:22
But. All pass.
00:37:24
I have this weird, um, like primal thing with him and I'm
00:37:28
just leaning into it. That's all this is.
00:37:31
I'm sorry, excuse me. What on the?
00:37:34
No, the best part of this is that she's talking about this
00:37:36
and her son's on the stream. So it's like.
00:37:38
Yeah. Oh please.
00:37:39
I'm used to. This.
00:37:41
I'm sorry, Primal what? Look, you were there when I
00:37:44
screamed twice in a row. He was on screen.
00:37:46
Yes, I I was in the theater. That's a year.
00:37:51
Never done that more so. This case it's like whoop.
00:37:55
We can talk about this later. I feel weird.
00:37:59
This is yeah, Let's move on you more.
00:38:02
Move on, go, go, go. Quick, Fray.
00:38:04
You want to take the next one? Sure.
00:38:05
Please God. The dwarfs will not go on
00:38:09
strike. They should the Lord of the.
00:38:11
Rings. Yes, they should.
00:38:12
They deserve better. Power Season 2 has rap shooting
00:38:16
amid the writers strike and will not be affected by the SAG after
00:38:19
strike. According to Variety, Rings of
00:38:21
Power finished production a few weeks back without its
00:38:24
showrunners JD Payne and Patrick McKay on set because of because
00:38:29
of the strike. UH, the show will run for five
00:38:30
seasons, so I guess if it goes long enough, the next season
00:38:34
might be impacted, but right? I wonder if they're part of
00:38:37
because like House of the Dragon also is continuing and that's
00:38:40
because none of the the actors are SAG after.
00:38:43
They're actually the UK equity union and they're not allowed to
00:38:49
go on strike if SAG after goes on strike, yeah, so I guess a
00:38:52
lot of stuff's going to be moving over to the UK, but right
00:38:55
this story. I'm sorry, but this show is just
00:38:58
I got nothing good to say about it, so.
00:38:59
It's not your cup of tea or ale or grog or whatever.
00:39:04
And I love the here's. The I love.
00:39:07
I do love The Lord of the Rings, but this show just was.
00:39:10
Well, what what Amazon did with this is what Disney did with
00:39:13
Star Wars, right? Like, I mean, like there was a
00:39:16
there's a lot of lore that was already there for Star Wars that
00:39:19
isn't just kind of ignored to do new stories.
00:39:22
You can't throw out the holy you here, you know.
00:39:24
Right. Like what they did.
00:39:26
And I mean, they're they're reintroducing a lot of that lore
00:39:28
back into Star Wars specifically because we kicked and screamed.
00:39:33
Partially, but it's more so because of who's in.
00:39:35
Charge now, You know, like, so yeah, you know, like you have
00:39:38
somebody who who has a lot of love for Star Wars in charge of
00:39:41
the Star Wars now, and he's doing a lot.
00:39:43
And of course everybody's complaining about what he's
00:39:45
doing now. But it's different claims.
00:39:47
Um, right, right. But, but the other thing is
00:39:49
they, you know, now it's just the purists that are complaining
00:39:52
because it's like, Oh well, you brought back, uh, certain
00:39:55
characters that I wanted to see, but it's not the way that I
00:39:57
wanted him like that. Shut up, right?
00:39:59
There is nothing wrong. With better than.
00:40:00
That OK, I am so. Like.
00:40:03
Furious. I'm kidding not.
00:40:06
It's like, you know, people are complaining about how Thron
00:40:09
isn't like this bloody monster and it's like, yeah, but he's
00:40:11
still white. Monster.
00:40:13
I mean, I mean, Oh yeah, I mean, he is finished.
00:40:16
Rebels. Yeah, caught up.
00:40:18
I actually understand the whole importance of doing it.
00:40:22
I have to by. The way he's.
00:40:24
Monster. But I mean like.
00:40:26
Yes, he is. Yeah, but like you know, because
00:40:28
and I don't want to take up to too much of our time talking
00:40:30
about Thron, but I mean like Thron, UH is one of those
00:40:33
characters. Like like the original story of
00:40:36
Thron was like he massacred an entire planet and and you like,
00:40:40
like the the cover of the book was like you know him covered in
00:40:42
blood and people wanted that. And it's like you get the same
00:40:46
effect with the coldness and the calculate, the calc.
00:40:50
The calculating kind of like nature.
00:40:52
Of the way that Thron is now, and I think it's an improvement
00:40:55
that a lot of people, just a lot of people just don't want that.
00:40:57
They want more of a brutal version of Thron I.
00:41:00
Think I think it's legitimately fucking scary.
00:41:02
And. I feel like he's scarier when
00:41:04
you make him cold and calculated rather than just unhinged.
00:41:08
You know what I mean? Just you just don't know when he
00:41:10
walks into a room, what's gonna happen, right.
00:41:12
It's. Really.
00:41:14
Fact that a guy can beat us, somebody.
00:41:16
In an animated. Be covered in blood.
00:41:18
I mean, didn't they, like, try to change all that?
00:41:21
The bloodiness in Japan. And he made it white, which made
00:41:23
it much, much worse. Don't ever do that.
00:41:25
Please, God, never do that. Yeah.
00:41:27
It was. He's covered in white.
00:41:30
Yeah. OK.
00:41:32
As going back on that the reason that I that I brought this up
00:41:35
into in the 1st place, uh, which I'm going to reset the timer for
00:41:38
this, I mean yeah sorry but we could be here a little while.
00:41:45
Glad it wasn't me. It was me.
00:41:46
I'm sorry. The reason that I brought that
00:41:48
whole thing up was because they kind of did the same thing.
00:41:52
Like like Amazon ignored a lot of lore that was already there.
00:41:56
Yeah, that that that talking already.
00:41:59
Kind of like wrote, right? Like Toking already wrote.
00:42:02
Not exactly everything like story wise, but he wrote the
00:42:05
lore out, right? And I mean the whole some really
00:42:07
and I I could go grab it. And that's just.
00:42:10
Where I'm going for going with he wrote the some Marillion and.
00:42:13
And they kind of ignore the similarly in to do a lot of the
00:42:15
stories that are in this. Even down to just the
00:42:19
description of the people and people don't like that.
00:42:22
Or Amazon just took that and just pissed on it and just said,
00:42:24
you know what, we're gonna do our own thing.
00:42:25
I'm sorry, yeah. Yeah, and it's kind of like I'm,
00:42:28
I'm OK. I'm OK with the studio taking
00:42:30
liberty to expand on characters, but just don't ignore source
00:42:34
material. I've always talked about that
00:42:36
with everything, right? Like when it comes to like
00:42:38
Marvel movies, DC movies, uh, Even like to an extent some Star
00:42:42
Wars stuff like. Don't ignore the lore.
00:42:45
If you're gonna expand on the lore, that's fine, right?
00:42:47
Like Shadow of Mordor, the game was really good about that.
00:42:51
They really did a really good job of taking stuff that with
00:42:55
elements that were already there and putting a story inside of
00:42:58
that. And I think they did a good job
00:43:00
of that, right? Like you know, with with doing
00:43:02
that, Shadow of Mordor, Shadow of War.
00:43:04
But with this show, if it's a standalone product, it was a
00:43:08
good show. But when it comes to it being
00:43:11
connected to Lord of the Rings, I can understand where a lot of.
00:43:13
People were upset, Yeah. You know, I have not seen it so.
00:43:17
Don't worry about it. Don't.
00:43:18
It's it's it's a good show if you detach it from Lord of the
00:43:23
Rings in the 1st place, like. If you just want to.
00:43:26
Yeah, if you watch it as a fantasy show and just kind of
00:43:28
like, you know, like all the things that are involved in it
00:43:31
in itself as a standalone, if it wasn't attached to to.
00:43:34
It's kind of how I feel about X-Men, right?
00:43:36
Like the X-Men movies, right? Like if it were a movie that was
00:43:39
not X-Men, those movies would be OK, right?
00:43:41
But it's next Men movie, so it does.
00:43:43
Hold up the snuff, right. Whereas same, you know, yeah,
00:43:46
you with this is that they ignored lore that was already
00:43:49
there in order to do new lore. And it's like, you know, they
00:43:53
feel that they that they did something that could live in the
00:43:55
universe, which it could if it were an alternate universe and
00:43:58
it wasn't what Tolkien wrote. It's all three management, baby.
00:44:01
Brand management and they ain't managed in the right.
00:44:06
I mean really just just to finish it up.
00:44:08
I'm sorry, just to finish it up real quick.
00:44:09
You have this material, you can be lazy and just take it.
00:44:12
I'm just saying you don't need to put in the effort to write
00:44:14
new world building. Yeah, though.
00:44:15
Anyway, let's continue. Moving on.
00:44:21
Oh my God, I love that song. Did you want to read it, Eugene?
00:44:24
Oh, me. Oh wow.
00:44:28
We're going back to the grid. Maybe with a lightsaber?
00:44:30
Whoo, Eugene Cap. Oh yeah.
00:44:33
Cameron. Monahan.
00:44:35
Monahan My money. I'm bad with last names.
00:44:40
Yeah, Cameron Moynihan. Monahan All right, It's set to
00:44:42
join UH Jared Leto in Disney's upcoming Tron Aries.
00:44:45
The third film in the Tron franchise.
00:44:48
I That's cool. Is it OK that I didn't know
00:44:50
there was a Tron franchise? Do Tron movies.
00:44:53
It's a franchise that this, yeah.
00:44:55
Moment. They've made Part 2.
00:44:56
I mean, now we're in franchise. That's true Franchise Mode.
00:45:00
Yeah, so I mean it's as we continue in my Monaghan.
00:45:03
Monaghan So bad, is best known for his role as Calcrest Estes
00:45:08
in Star Wars Jedi Fall in Order and his sequel, which I still
00:45:11
unfinished, Star Wars Jedi Survivor.
00:45:13
He also starred in shows such as Shameless and Gotham, Which.
00:45:17
He was the Joker. Yes, even though when that that
00:45:19
show first came out there like. He's not the Joker.
00:45:21
He was a Joker. He ended.
00:45:23
Up. I don't hold against him.
00:45:24
He did a good job, he. Wasn't a bad joker.
00:45:30
It was another issue with, like lore not being good, you know?
00:45:34
I know, but. This kid is just messing with
00:45:36
Bill. He's.
00:45:37
Got some chops? That wasn't my favorite
00:45:40
characters and she's just messing with me because the she
00:45:43
doesn't like the Joker, so. He's overhyped, OK?
00:45:45
It's not that I don't like. It I.
00:45:47
You know what? Not every Batman he has to have
00:45:49
him in. It I.
00:45:51
On that and I think there's remember much because I.
00:45:53
Remember when you guys were doing that one bracket and she
00:45:56
went on about the Joker and I was in that chat and I kind of
00:46:00
egg drawn too. It was, uh yeah, the Joker.
00:46:06
I'm sorry Phil, but he is nuts. He's just.
00:46:08
Over. Hi.
00:46:09
He's a good. No, The thing is is if when done
00:46:12
right, he's a really good character.
00:46:13
But again, I. Do agree with that.
00:46:14
When But again I believe that kind of like I agree with you in
00:46:18
that and and and that aspect is that he is kind of overdone.
00:46:28
Oh, that would be awesome. There are so many other good
00:46:23
characters you can do where you don't like.
00:46:25
We need Heart of Ice as in live action.
00:46:29
Yeah, I would love to see Heart of Ice in live, live action.
00:46:32
Just get that tragic story, yeah.
00:46:34
I would cry all over again if I started.
00:46:36
My back. Actor.
00:46:39
Right. To play Mr. Freeze and that that
00:46:41
movie will make you cry, Yeah. Definitely.
00:46:43
Would there's so there's so much death, just.
00:46:45
Because if you know. Many of his villains that.
00:46:48
If you can get, don't know. Why they keep going to the
00:46:50
prick. Oh yeah, because he's most well
00:46:52
known. But I'm like, if you can get
00:46:53
some curious play, who can play cold but emotional at the same
00:46:56
time, I can play a character that you know as no emotion.
00:47:02
I love the idea of because the the voice actor that played him
00:47:05
in because he was a Broadway actor, but like the actor that
00:47:08
played him in in The Animated series.
00:47:10
Afrom symbolist. Jr.
00:47:12
I believe so. It is.
00:47:15
He well, he was really good about the like.
00:47:18
It was a very monotone character, but you still
00:47:21
conveyed the emotion from the character itself.
00:47:23
Oh yeah, he did. He really did play it.
00:47:25
I mean, it wasn't like he played it up, but he played it really
00:47:27
good and you could you could feel that pain.
00:47:30
You just need somebody who has presence like that.
00:47:32
Again, we're going on a tangent. Let's continue.
00:47:34
Yes, yes. Go, go, go, go.
00:47:36
All we know about this story right now is that it's going to
00:47:39
focus on the emergence of a sense and sentient.
00:47:43
Sentient program that somehow crosses over into the human
00:47:47
world. Little will take on the role of
00:47:49
Aries which is the manifestation of the Tron program.
00:47:52
Which at the end of the first Tron.
00:47:54
Well, not the first, but the second trial.
00:47:56
Yeah, we did see that he did pull what?
00:47:59
What's her name? What was her name?
00:48:00
Not. I'm not.
00:48:02
Olivia. Olivia.
00:48:04
She uh broke up with Jason Sudeikis.
00:48:06
What? Was what?
00:48:08
Was her name in the movie? Oh God, I don't.
00:48:10
Oh gosh, I don't. Remember.
00:48:12
That sorry. It's been like I've seen it
00:48:14
since, but I remember nothing. Olivia Wilde.
00:48:18
Olivia Wilde your. Name was Laura Cora.
00:48:20
Oh. So, so Cora, uh, in in, that's
00:48:24
exactly what you're bringing up right now.
00:48:25
Like at the end of the movie, they showed that core crossed
00:48:28
over into the human, right. So I mean like it's it's kind of
00:48:30
like they've already. Established that it's possible
00:48:33
so for something like Aries this program that that that Jared
00:48:37
Leto is playing to crossover into into the real world it's
00:48:40
going to be interesting to see what kind of havoc he can he can
00:48:43
kind of like well. And it's also a natural
00:48:45
progression from the 2nd to the third because they show.
00:48:48
Decker's son, yeah. And I mean that the first movie,
00:48:51
like the whole point of the first movie was to create a
00:48:54
artificial world where you could find out, you can figure out how
00:48:57
to, how to fix the world and then bring it back out to the
00:48:59
real world, right. And they kind of like.
00:49:02
That in the second movie. So now if it's a, it's a
00:49:05
manifestation of Tron coming out to the real world.
00:49:08
Obviously it's not going to be like Tron himself, right?
00:49:11
I mean, like Ron's dead at this point because when he finally,
00:49:13
you know, programming, he sacrificed himself, right?
00:49:16
So it's like this is it. It's the second time he
00:49:18
sacrifices himself. Tron killed himself twice.
00:49:22
He's gonna do it a third time. But like now is like a
00:49:25
manifestation 1 which is actually supposed to security
00:49:28
program, right? And I can imagine that this
00:49:30
version of Tron is going to be based on this.
00:49:33
I don't remember what his name was in in Tron Legacy, but.
00:49:37
I know, Trey. You're talking Rinzler.
00:49:38
Rinzler when he became Rinzler. Yeah, I imagine it being a
00:49:42
derivative of Rinzler finding his way into the real world and
00:49:45
just causing havoc. Yeah, Or alternatively Francois.
00:49:47
Well. I could, I could.
00:49:49
True. I can honestly see like.
00:49:51
We did see again, Decker's son was part of the board who was
00:49:55
already, you know, pissed at Flynn's son, bringing out this
00:49:58
manifestation of Aries. And then boom, there we go,
00:50:01
right? So I have issues.
00:50:04
OK. And that's time.
00:50:06
Thanks. We'll let you.
00:50:09
We'll let you get your, your, your, go ahead and let's say say
00:50:13
what you have to say and then we'll move on to the next one.
00:50:15
But I want to have to say OK. The biggest one is 2 words.
00:50:19
Jared, let him. I'm not gonna watch this movie
00:50:22
because he's in it. I'm not doing it.
00:50:23
I'm not doing this anymore. Jared Garrett Leto is a weirdo,
00:50:27
I'll give you that. And he does like a lot of just
00:50:30
kind of off putting things. But there's no denying that he's
00:50:32
a good actor. I mean, he is a really good
00:50:34
actor. He's just, it's kind of like the
00:50:36
Ezra Miller kind of situation. Where is the very problematic
00:50:40
person? Yeah, very.
00:50:41
Leto is a very problematic person.
00:50:43
I mean, sending condoms to people and dead bats, Yeah.
00:50:46
I know. On the set of on the set of
00:50:48
Batman. Like, yeah, I.
00:50:49
Am not absolutely not any feminine.
00:50:52
So that's my first big issue and then the the second one is why I
00:50:56
like where they ended it in the second.
00:50:58
I felt like that was such a good end to it and so I'm just like,
00:51:01
why? So it better be freaking good if
00:51:03
I'll tell you why. Oh.
00:51:04
Yeah, money. Yeah.
00:51:08
I'll tell you. An example, right?
00:51:10
Like, yeah, little play Joker. And it was, you know, kind of
00:51:13
nobody liked that. And like the way that he played
00:51:15
the character, but right after that.
00:51:17
Was Blade Runner and his character and Blade Runner was
00:51:20
amazing. It was right.
00:51:21
And then after that he got a chance to play the Joker again
00:51:24
and it was a really good version of the Joker.
00:51:26
Yeah right. The second time you played Joker
00:51:28
when he played Joker in injusticely, that was actually a
00:51:32
decent version of the Joker. I actually enjoyed that in
00:51:34
comparison to the crappy version that he played in Suicide Squad
00:51:38
like you know like that let oh when let oh when when when when
00:51:44
channeled correctly. I think this is the way that we
00:51:46
that. We praise this UM when channeled
00:51:49
correctly, is a really good actor and can put on a good
00:51:52
performance when channeled in the wrong ways.
00:51:54
He's the Joker from the Suicide Squad and everybody hates him.
00:51:57
So I mean you know. I mean hey you know blood magic
00:51:59
when channel the right way I'm. Just.
00:52:03
Done. I hear you, I hear.
00:52:04
You. I really mean.
00:52:05
I just am. I'm just done.
00:52:06
He's been afraid as. A person, Yes, he's been afraid.
00:52:10
I'm just be afraid. Because I have seen him and I
00:52:14
have had this feeling since he was on my sofall fight.
00:52:17
Gotcha. And I'm not a big Claire Danes
00:52:20
fan either. I don't know what my socalled
00:52:22
life did to me. I think maybe I'm blocking it
00:52:24
out. But I just.
00:52:26
Am not a fan of either one of them.
00:52:29
Yeah. So maybe that's it.
00:52:31
Maybe it's just my socalled life that.
00:52:33
Bill, there's another trigger. Yeah, I know we're.
00:52:35
Talking about my socalled Life, OK, we gotta move on.
00:52:39
Hey, hey, should. Do you want to try this one?
00:52:40
All right, important. So uh, we have the .23 Emmy
00:52:45
Award, nominations have been announced and Star Wars shows
00:52:48
The Mandalorian and OR and Obi Wan Kenobi.
00:52:50
Oh, you're yeah, you went, went Wanda head.
00:52:53
You're on the Guardians. All right, do this again Every
00:52:56
becoming. Love that.
00:52:58
Phil was all about it. OK.
00:53:01
We'll just go back to. This one all right, here we go.
00:53:06
After becoming one of the biggest box office hits of the
00:53:08
year, Guardians the Galaxy volume 3 is finally making its
00:53:11
way to Disney Plus for its streaming debut.
00:53:14
Guardians Galaxy volume 3 debuted in theaters who wave of
00:53:17
views earlier this year, with writer director James Gunn
00:53:20
delivering an emotional and satisfying conclusion to his
00:53:22
space opera trilogy. About three months after
00:53:25
initially debuted in Disney Mobile studios announced the
00:53:28
Gardens Galaxy volume 3. We're hitting Disney Plus on
00:53:30
August 2nd. Yay.
00:53:33
I'm excited to watch this movie 1000 times.
00:53:36
OK over again. I love this movie so much.
00:53:39
I'm excited to cry 15 more times.
00:53:41
I know, right? I just I just saw this movie 2
00:53:44
days ago. Oh, nice.
00:53:45
Oh my God. I'm so sorry.
00:53:47
Yeah, it's funny because Jackie doesn't really like watch
00:53:51
superhero movies anymore. She's not really into like MCU
00:53:53
or anything like that. She really won't go out and
00:53:55
watch these movies. She went out and saw this in
00:53:57
theaters. So I mean like, you know, it's
00:53:59
Guardians is one of the few franchises within Marvel that
00:54:03
she will go out of her way to go watch and it's because partially
00:54:05
because she loves group, but then also because they are good
00:54:08
movies. Yeah, I see.
00:54:10
This is Who Doesn't Love a Little 4 glasses?
00:54:13
The MC was Boost. I mean, it really has, like
00:54:15
we've talked about. Before we talked, you guys
00:54:17
talked about this on on Saturday morning.
00:54:21
Oh yeah. Nerd out too.
00:54:21
Yeah, you guys went for spoilers because remember we did a we did
00:54:24
a review of this movie on this. Certain, I think was just me and
00:54:27
you, actually. Yeah, we went on like a
00:54:29
Instagram. Right.
00:54:29
It's grandma. Saying Instagram flying thing
00:54:32
but yeah it you know I just it's such a strong overall story when
00:54:35
you saw everything, but each individual story was also really
00:54:38
strong and it's hard to do especially when it's.
00:54:41
Characters that are not as well known as other, like really not
00:54:44
well known and and they made everybody care about South.
00:54:48
Yeah, I love it. And I will be watching it uh
00:54:51
million times as well and crying every single.
00:54:53
Time. Yeah.
00:54:53
Yeah. No, I mean, I I love the
00:54:55
characterization. I love the way that they, uh, I
00:54:58
mean, there's a couple swerves in the movie too.
00:55:00
But I mean, spoilers for a movie that's been out for what, like a
00:55:02
month and a half now? Three months Been out for a
00:55:06
while now, right. But I mean, like, you know, like
00:55:08
there's a couple swerves. Like there's a couple times
00:55:10
where you think. Certain characters die, right?
00:55:13
Yeah. And I think he did that purpose
00:55:15
because, you know, he was kind of teasing that people were
00:55:17
going to die in this movie, Right.
00:55:19
And it's like, um, yeah, spoilers.
00:55:22
Nobody really died. No.
00:55:24
Yeah, right. Technically one person,
00:55:26
Technically. Technically, right?
00:55:29
I'm saying like, you know, he didn't.
00:55:30
I mean, sorry, I had a sneeze. Um.
00:55:33
At the last year again we got all the Guardians, it was just
00:55:36
they did the went their own ways and it was great.
00:55:39
Technically, we did lose. Guardians character, but not in
00:55:43
the way that everybody thought we were going to.
00:55:46
Yeah, I guess technically we lost two of them because one of
00:55:48
them is now a Ravager, the other one is no longer a space Outlaw.
00:55:52
So it's like, you know, which I mean they did say that he's
00:55:54
coming back, so. Well, but then also we don't
00:55:58
know where, we don't know where two of them are going, you know
00:56:00
and they they went there separately.
00:56:02
So it's like it's like cycling through some of them.
00:56:04
I did like the one of the post credit scenes or Med credit
00:56:07
scenes of the new Guardians. I thought that was.
00:56:10
I like oh. Yeah, yeah.
00:56:11
I was, I was, I was kind of curious how they were gonna they
00:56:15
were gonna like kind of tackle Adam Warlock and and I a lot of
00:56:19
people again, that was like the one complaint that a lot of
00:56:21
people had was Adam Warlock. But it's like I I actually
00:56:24
enjoyed the way that they did Adam Warlock that he was very
00:56:27
kind of like childlike but at the same time he knew he was
00:56:30
Super Opie. So it's just kind of like.
00:56:32
How do you deal with this character that is, like,
00:56:35
supremely one of the most powerful characters in all of
00:56:38
Marvel, right? That was.
00:56:39
The one thing I really liked was how they handled Adam Warlock.
00:56:43
I was laughing every time I saw. Oh yeah, I loved it so.
00:56:46
It was almost a. Off intro to Yeah, like this is
00:56:50
just him and his like, Todd stage kind of right.
00:56:54
You know, so he's just out of the cocoon.
00:56:57
Yeah, out of the UH, the Manger. OK, well, let's move on.
00:57:00
Next story here. Go to the one that should do
00:57:03
thought that he was gonna do UH. The 2023 Emmy Award nominations
00:57:08
have been announced and the Star Wars shows The Mandalorian and
00:57:12
OR and Obi Wan Kenobi have scored 20 Emmy nominations
00:57:15
across multiple categories, including Outstanding Limited.
00:57:18
It or anthology series for Obi Wan Kenobi.
00:57:40
Only stacked. An outstanding drama series for
00:57:22
and or so so worth it. Just to throw it out there guys.
00:57:27
Outstanding limited in anthology series.
00:57:29
The stuff that that ended up in there Beef Dahmer Monster, The
00:57:32
Jeffrey Dahmer Story, Daisy Jones in the 6th, Bleischmann is
00:57:36
in Trouble, and Obi Wan Kenobi of which all of.
00:57:41
Only who are these shows I'm actually familiar with?
00:57:44
So I mean for three. I'm familiar.
00:57:47
With all of them. I haven't watched all of them.
00:57:50
Which one is that that? Flight Fleischman is in, Truck
00:57:53
out. It's about butter.
00:57:57
Right now Outstanding drama series and or Better Call Saul,
00:58:01
House of the Dragon, The Last of Us Succession.
00:58:05
The White Lotus and Yellow Jackets now.
00:58:08
That's a. That's a top category.
00:58:09
Right there, right. I was just saying one is a pack
00:58:12
category. You cannot call that one because
00:58:15
and or is really good, better. One of the best shows on TV?
00:58:19
Yeah. How so?
00:58:19
The Dragon was really good. I don't, honestly, I don't think
00:58:22
that one's gonna win just because it's a very genre show
00:58:25
and they tend to kind of stray away from genre a lot.
00:58:28
Last of Us was amazing. Succession is one of the most
00:58:32
successful shows on TV. In general.
00:58:35
White Lotus is amazing. If you guys have not watched
00:58:37
White Lotus, you have to. And then, of course, Yellow
00:58:39
Jackets. I mean, I was gonna say his real
00:58:42
name for a second. Graveyard will tell you all
00:58:43
about yellow. And all of the shows are so
00:58:49
different, yes. Like all the dramas are so
00:58:51
different. So right.
00:58:51
I like seeing. That and.
00:58:53
Yeah, there's so many different ways of.
00:58:55
It and saying that like the House of the House of Dragons is
00:58:57
such a like type of specific show that it might not win.
00:59:00
You take and or and lots of us, they're both.
00:59:03
That's kind of genre theme because they're kind of you're
00:59:05
talking 1 Scifi and the other one's a video.
00:59:07
Game knowing the Academy? More than likely it's going to
00:59:10
be Succession or White Lotus, yeah.
00:59:12
Yeah, unfortunately, because they're all a bunch of old.
00:59:14
No offense to you or white brother.
00:59:16
Out there that are on the show right now too.
00:59:19
White guys, No. White dudes, yeah.
00:59:21
Oh whatever. I'll happily it's all though.
00:59:26
I mean, yeah, I mean, you know, it's the same thing.
00:59:28
Like beef is a is an Asian story.
00:59:30
Dahmer's, I mean freaking Jeffrey Dahmer.
00:59:32
And that's a very even though it's it based on true events,
00:59:35
it's definitely going to be one of those things where they're
00:59:37
going to consider it genre. Daisy Jones in the Six and
00:59:40
Fleischman is in trouble. I'm not familiar with those two
00:59:43
shows. Never even.
00:59:44
Daisy Jones in the six is a basic.
00:59:46
Like a 70s, It's set in 70s. It's about a band.
00:59:51
They get this, UH singer Daisy Jones, and they become like
00:59:54
overnight success. There, it's almost like a like a
00:59:57
Janis Joplin, yeah. Kind of like.
01:00:00
And then the band breaks up at some point and it's just they're
01:00:02
retelling all of this from there in the present.
01:00:06
OK. And yeah, so it's that and then.
01:00:08
I said band. I was hoping for, like, trouble.
01:00:10
I don't remember what it's about.
01:00:12
Remember the name? I can't remember what.
01:00:15
It's about so this is one of those things where like is
01:00:18
knowing the way that the Academy usually votes.
01:00:21
I feel like Beef and the Obi Wan are off the table.
01:00:23
Dahmer is there's a chance that it could but be Again, because
01:00:27
it's so such a niche thing, a lot of times they're gonna like
01:00:31
stray away from anything that has that type of almost like
01:00:33
horror element to it. Yeah, they tend to go for more
01:00:36
like almost independent style stuff.
01:00:39
Yeah, I mean, but like I they've also done some really
01:00:43
interesting they've made, especially with like anthology
01:00:45
series, they take more risks on stuff like that, like the
01:00:48
limited series or the anthology and they have taken more risks
01:00:52
with that than just the drama series.
01:00:55
I could see the drama series being way more than that.
01:00:59
Yeah. And then like the maybe the
01:01:01
limited going to beef because it was a little bit more genre, but
01:01:04
it was also like well liked over different genres just like and
01:01:09
that's probably the one that they would go with over all of
01:01:12
because the rest of them are so much so.
01:01:14
Yeah. Look at this guy talking smack
01:01:17
in the chat, I swear. We didn't even say his name
01:01:20
three times. God, OK, rocks.
01:01:23
Canceled. He says, I know birthday John
01:01:26
Mez. Thanks for the invite to the
01:01:27
stream, Y'all. The fun part is because he's
01:01:30
getting into the stream late. The whole beginning of this show
01:01:33
was John Mez doesn't like us anymore.
01:01:36
He's not on the show because he doesn't want.
01:01:39
Yeah. Happy birthday.
01:01:40
We love you anyways, yeah. And we we did say at the show if
01:01:45
you had been here, we said happy birthday with.
01:01:47
Kick in the CAC. We started the show with Happy
01:01:52
Birthday Jamez. I You know what?
01:01:54
I take it back. That's it.
01:01:58
All right. Well, let's.
01:01:58
Move on to the next story, guys. Speaking of Disney, when Iger
01:02:03
returned to CEO to replace Bob Chapic, basically one Bob for
01:02:07
another, they're bobbing row after his brief Rocky run.
01:02:10
It was originally only supposed to be for two years.
01:02:14
Well, guess what folks? This Bob's here to stay.
01:02:18
Bob I has extended his. Contract No one calls me Nick,
01:02:22
Bob and. He will continue to lead charge
01:02:26
at the country 2026. Let's see how many jets he can
01:02:30
buy UH in between now and then, friends.
01:02:33
I like how. Nick Bob.
01:02:35
You're crazy weird rich Uncle Bob's right.
01:02:37
Just said Bob. And Bob, it's he's bobbin uh.
01:02:42
OK, so I mean I have I have pluses and minuses for this.
01:02:46
Like, I'm both excited, but at the same time.
01:02:48
Not because Iger knows how to run the company.
01:02:51
Iger knows how to keep the company successful.
01:02:54
Wouldn't when Bob Chapic took over it, you know, they started
01:02:57
taking some nosedives in certain areas.
01:02:59
Oh yeah, but Iger's also known for being the dude who actually
01:03:03
ruined Star Wars. So.
01:03:05
You know, where everybody blames Kathleen Kennedy and blames
01:03:08
everybody else. Bob Iger is the reason that Star
01:03:11
Wars got the ending that it got. Bob Iger is the reason that
01:03:14
Palpatine came back. Because he is.
01:03:17
Palpatine. Well, no, yeah.
01:03:18
I mean, yeah, but I mean like, you know.
01:03:21
So what you're trying to say is that Disney's just got a whole
01:03:23
chamber full of Bobs? And he's the summer.
01:03:26
He is the summer. Bob Iger's is is literally
01:03:29
because I guess there's JJ Abrams said that there there was
01:03:33
3 endings and there's three. Versions of of Rise of Skywalker
01:03:38
and the version that we saw on screen was the by Bob Iger
01:03:42
version because he felt that that was the one that was gonna
01:03:44
make the most money. Wow.
01:03:45
Why Bob? Why?
01:03:46
And and the thing JJ Abrams is on record saying that that the
01:03:50
version of the story that he told was completely different
01:03:54
and Palpatine wasn't involved. The only reason that they put
01:03:57
Palpatine in there was because Bob Iger was like, well,
01:03:59
Palpatine will make money. So put Palpatine in back into
01:04:01
the game. Move.
01:04:02
Make it happen. I feel like this is like the
01:04:04
whole Superman, like this. They're not Superman.
01:04:07
Legacy Superman. What was it?
01:04:09
Man steel cage. Oh, all over again.
01:04:13
Was it Superman legacy? I know.
01:04:15
It was Superman. Unbound Superman lives.
01:04:18
Yeah, yeah. So, yeah.
01:04:20
I mean like. The the issue with Bob Iger
01:04:22
again like I I have you know the the dude knows how to run the
01:04:26
company either he he knows how Disneyland, he knows how to uh
01:04:30
you know acquire different properties to the kind of like
01:04:34
bolster. Disney and and and I mean the
01:04:36
business it right. I mean my own law.
01:04:39
The things that he's done. I'm.
01:04:41
I'm not like, upset with like again as much as as much upset
01:04:45
with him for making all those promises.
01:04:46
Which ones about the actors? And Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:04:50
That's a different one. That was a little disappointing.
01:04:52
I'm a little disappointed. Yeah, If you hear that, Bob
01:04:54
disappointed. Disappointed in you?
01:04:56
But again, like Iger, Iger's the only the thing that upsets me
01:04:59
about like when he gets involved in properties is he thinks like
01:05:04
an exec and not. Creative, yeah.
01:05:06
And. He's not an Eisner.
01:05:07
Yeah, definitely not. That's um sure.
01:05:09
You know like again he he he's, I mean he's not Walt.
01:05:12
You know he like what was all about being creative and letting
01:05:16
creatives be creative And after hearing kind of what happened
01:05:20
with the sequels and knowing how to what extent Bob Iger was
01:05:23
involved in that, it kind of like is like you're not the
01:05:26
creative that that Walt was. Yeah.
01:05:29
You know, and it's like, I get it, you're you're you're you're
01:05:32
holding up his legacy by making the company successful.
01:05:34
Full and hiring good creatives. But you're not the creative, so
01:05:38
get your hands out of the cookie jar.
01:05:39
Yeah, exactly. You need to do what he does
01:05:41
best, which is the business side of things.
01:05:43
Run it. Put the right people in the
01:05:44
right places and just say all right, cool, let's do it.
01:05:47
Right, right. No.
01:05:48
Like, let, let. Like the the Kathleen Kennedy
01:05:51
had has her faults, but the best thing she did was was put Um,
01:05:56
Fagro and Palona. Yeah, like Avro and Faloni in
01:06:00
charge of Star Wars. Because you have people who
01:06:02
actually love Star Wars making Star Wars.
01:06:05
And one of those guys? Faloni being the guy who is the
01:06:08
handpicked successor to take over Star Wars, yeah.
01:06:11
Exactly. Lucas himself.
01:06:13
So I mean, like, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
01:06:15
Yeah. And just let fight me by.
01:06:17
I mean, honestly, like let him be over.
01:06:19
Yeah. See.
01:06:20
But I just yeah. And yeah, just let Feige be
01:06:22
fighting like it's kids. Let Feige be successful because
01:06:26
Feige knows what he's doing. Let him do what he's doing.
01:06:29
Yeah, I agree. I concur.
01:06:30
All right. Now Speaking of more Bob, more
01:06:33
Disney and Disney. Stuff, right?
01:06:36
You know, now I just feel like Bob is doing this at because
01:06:39
he's obsessed. Why you're so obsessed with me
01:06:46
As Disney CEO Bob Iger continues his mission of fixing all
01:06:50
Disney's problems, which we all just had a whole conversation
01:06:53
about. He's not exactly doing all that
01:06:54
all the time. It looks like fans can expect to
01:06:56
see less Marvel and Star Wars content.
01:06:59
What's it doing? Bob.
01:07:00
During an interview with CNBC when talking about those
01:07:03
franchises, he said you. Pull back not just to focus, but
01:07:06
also as part of our cost containment initiative, spending
01:07:09
less on what we make and making less.
01:07:12
Marvel was a great example of that.
01:07:13
It had not been in the television business at any
01:07:16
significant level and not only did they increase their movie
01:07:19
output, but they ended up making a number of TV series.
01:07:22
Frankly, it diluted focus and attention now only if they cut
01:07:26
back on their live action remakes.
01:07:29
Shut up, Bob. Right.
01:07:31
I mean it. He's not wrong to an extent.
01:07:34
There is a lot of kind of like they are deluding Marvel a
01:07:38
little bit, right? But The thing is that the reason
01:07:40
that they started doing that and increasing the storytelling
01:07:43
aspects and everything like that was because we wanted.
01:07:45
Right, exactly. We did Well, go ahead.
01:07:48
Sorry. No, no, go ahead.
01:07:48
Go ahead, Who may be saying the same thing.
01:07:50
No idea. But probably not because I'm so
01:07:55
no, but I mean, they're expanding the universe, so
01:07:57
obviously you get more content because we're going to have more
01:08:01
heroes and villains to follow along with.
01:08:03
And that's just something that happens.
01:08:05
It, you know, it's a comic book universe.
01:08:07
There are hundreds of titles, hundreds and thousands of
01:08:11
characters out there. So yeah, they're gonna have more
01:08:14
content. That doesn't necessarily mean
01:08:15
they're deluding. It just means they're setting it
01:08:17
up right for the next phase of heroes to to come, you know,
01:08:20
come through. But.
01:08:21
Yeah, but many things I see, like, especially with like how
01:08:24
everybody's talking about how, oh, I didn't enjoy this with
01:08:26
Marvel and all this other stuff. I have a feeling what they're
01:08:29
doing, what Igy's doing, cuz I know Feige knows what he's
01:08:31
doing, right. Like, I have a feeling what
01:08:33
Feige's doing is he's planning seats more than anything.
01:08:37
Yeah, right. Like, everybody's like, I didn't
01:08:39
like this movie and I don't like this and I didn't enjoy this.
01:08:41
I guarantee you it's gonna be how dark Dark World was where
01:08:45
like, you know, like Dark World is one of those movies where
01:08:47
everybody's like, oh, I didn't like that movie, that.
01:08:49
Movie suck. But then like after Avengers
01:08:51
came out, after the Infinity, the two Infinity movies came
01:08:55
out. It put context to that movie and
01:08:57
now that movie, everybody loves it, right?
01:08:59
So it's kind of like, I have a feeling that that's what Beigy's
01:09:02
doing with all these movies is like all this stuff is planting
01:09:04
seeds for stuff that's gonna happen later that's gonna give
01:09:07
more context early to these movies that were early on.
01:09:09
It's like, Oh my God, I love this stuff now, right?
01:09:11
Like, I think that looking what once Phase Six is done, I think
01:09:15
that everybody's gonna look back at all these movies and enjoy
01:09:18
and TV shows. And enjoy them that much more.
01:09:21
Yeah, because at like these later movies are going to add
01:09:24
context to everything later on. Yeah, no, I totally on.
01:09:27
All. The dude is so good at long long
01:09:29
term, at long term storyteller. Yeah, Well, yeah, Got that slow,
01:09:33
Bill. He's playing the long build and
01:09:35
anticipation. It's just now that everybody
01:09:38
understands the formula there. They get impatient with it and I
01:09:41
want to know everything immediately.
01:09:43
And it's like this. That's not how it the MCE works
01:09:46
and you guys were fine with that through Infinity, the Infinity
01:09:49
work. So come on, you know and there's
01:09:52
still stuff that they're still we're still talking about from,
01:09:55
you know the earlier phases that are coming to fruition now like
01:09:59
seeds that were. Exactly.
01:10:01
So, but yeah, is Bob cutting back so he can do some more live
01:10:04
action remakes if that's the case, and Bob.
01:10:07
I mean, they're doing exactly, they're doing uh lilo and Stitch
01:10:10
next and then they're doing a live action Moana too.
01:10:12
I know, yeah, I just, they're just gonna take all the
01:10:14
animation and make it live action and they're gonna take
01:10:17
all the live action and make it animation.
01:10:19
If we don't. Certainly need.
01:10:20
Yeah, we don't know. We don't.
01:10:21
We don't need it. It's got to go, especially when
01:10:23
there are stories to tell, rich stories that are good that you
01:10:27
can do in the emcee franchise and the Star Wars franchise.
01:10:31
Let's let's just remember that Little Mermaid is one of the
01:10:33
only movies this year that is considered a success.
01:10:37
So I mean like like a genuine success.
01:10:38
So I mean, not very many movies that have come out this year and
01:10:42
I actually do believe we're going to talk about this later,
01:10:44
but they're not very many, many movies that came out this year
01:10:47
that are considered successful films.
01:10:49
Guardians of the Galaxy Three? I thought that was considered
01:10:52
successful Guardians. Was, but I mean, like, again,
01:10:54
there's a short list. There's more movies that have
01:10:56
been unsuccessful than ones that have been successful.
01:10:58
Yeah, and Little Mermaid is one of those.
01:11:01
Like, it's one of those movies that wasn't like a international
01:11:04
sales save this. Like it was one of those movies
01:11:06
that did success that was successful on its own.
01:11:08
And then international sales made it even bigger, just like
01:11:11
catapulted. It, yeah.
01:11:12
So uh, so let's, let's, let's go ahead and move on to the next
01:11:16
short, you guys. Impressed you?
01:11:18
Let's move on. Can I do this thing?
01:11:23
Whoo is this one you're all passing?
01:11:24
No, he's one of all passing a blood viewed with him for.
01:11:27
A little while but I'm pretty sure he because we are in a
01:11:29
blood view. So OK on to some brighter days.
01:11:33
CCU news brighter Drew. James Gunn.
01:11:35
He is my God has a Nathan Fillion from Firefly.
01:11:40
Suicide Squad. Castle One life to live.
01:11:43
And Green Lantern himself and. Pizza.
01:11:45
Yes. He has paid.
01:11:47
He has played how Jordan three different times.
01:11:50
Yeah. Yes, and he's in this picture
01:11:52
has a Green Lantern shirt on. Look at this.
01:11:54
He was probably actually filming had that.
01:11:56
Shirt. He probably and Edie uh GAFI he.
01:12:00
That's what I'm going to X-Men first class to the cast of his
01:12:03
Superman legacy. They joined the previously cast
01:12:06
David Horn Sweat, our favorite corn.
01:12:09
Sweat. Corn sweat.
01:12:13
Superman. Oh my God.
01:12:14
Clark Kenn is Superman. Oh my God, I didn't even know
01:12:17
he's been wearing glasses. Here, he heard it just spoiled
01:12:19
this whole thing for me And Rachel.
01:12:21
Uh, Froshan has Lois Lane. And you'll know Rachel Frostahan
01:12:26
from Marvelous Mrs. Mason. Marvelous.
01:12:29
So hot. So 3 new cast members will have
01:12:33
major roles in the film with Merced taking on the role of pop
01:12:37
girl. And you know what?
01:12:38
That's Isabella Merced and I love that.
01:12:41
And I'm going to tell you here in just a second why UH Effect
01:12:44
is set to play Michael Holt Mr. Terrific.
01:12:46
Again, I'm very excited for he. He definitely looks the part.
01:12:49
He'll be good, UH and Philly and will playing UH Guy Gardner.
01:12:53
So he's going to be another Green Lantern.
01:12:54
Well, that surprised me because I was like, you know, he's
01:12:56
played, he's played like 3 or 4 different versions of how Jordan
01:13:00
and he's playing Guy Gardner now and he actually fits Guy Gardner
01:13:03
perfectly. I think he does too.
01:13:05
Although, yeah, he thinks that um, the guy that played the
01:13:08
clown dock was his name. Ron.
01:13:10
Ron. Somebody, Ron.
01:13:12
What is his? I don't know, but he's got no
01:13:14
hair. Ron Corbre.
01:13:15
OK. Oh, Rob.
01:13:16
Forgery, Rob, forgery. That's it.
01:13:17
And he thinks that he would the perfect guy, Gardner.
01:13:20
Hi, Gardner. Roger, You'd be a good guy,
01:13:21
Gardner. I'll give you that.
01:13:22
Yeah, And and I agree with with him as well.
01:13:25
So yeah, I but I think Nathan Zillion's going to do a good
01:13:27
job. I really do.
01:13:28
I think it this. Oh yeah.
01:13:29
No, I mean, it's totally something that he could do.
01:13:32
He's got that wise ass personality, yeah.
01:13:35
And he and there are times people want to punch him.
01:13:37
Ace. So I mean I think that that's
01:13:39
that that's it. So yeah, KY Gardner, the weakest
01:13:41
of all the of human green. The Green Lantern with the
01:13:46
blast. Off it was funny.
01:13:49
They decided of all the Green Lanterns, the one that everybody
01:13:52
hates is Guy Gardner and he's a cop.
01:13:54
So it's like, yeah, he was, he was, he was a cop before he was
01:13:59
a Green Lantern. Remember, like everybody else,
01:14:01
how Jordan was a test pilot? John.
01:14:04
Stewart was a Marine and architect.
01:14:07
And Guy Gardner. Cop A Kyle Reiner was an artist,
01:14:10
which that's that he's so powerful is because he's so.
01:14:13
Creative. But then Guy Gardner.
01:14:16
Guy Gardner's a cop. With him being a cop.
01:14:19
Geez. So many things.
01:14:22
No, no, because he's he's saying what's wrong with being a cop?
01:14:25
Because Eugene is a cop. So it's like.
01:14:28
MMM. He's not a regular cop though,
01:14:30
He's a MP and nobody likes MP's, so we're fine.
01:14:36
So, OK, so my thing is, if look at the characters there that
01:14:40
they've already announced, we're probably gonna see the JSA.
01:14:44
Yeah, yeah, it. Might make sense.
01:14:46
You might see the JL because the Guy Gardner that everybody loves
01:14:51
to pick on is from Justice League International.
01:14:53
Yeah, so we might see that version.
01:14:55
But then also that we're getting hot girl which?
01:14:58
Which she's probably gonna be a fan agarian version of hot girl
01:15:01
and not the version that they've been trying to do with the
01:15:03
ancient Egyptian the the golden age hot girl.
01:15:06
I like that they're going with the modern hot girl because I'm
01:15:09
assuming they're going with the modern hot girl because that
01:15:12
version of hot girl I think is way more badass.
01:15:15
Like, like, Oh yeah, that that fan agarian Mace is like she can
01:15:20
knockout like like anybody with that thing and and she's so much
01:15:23
more fierce than the Egyptian version of her.
01:15:26
And then of course. Mr. Terrific because it's funny
01:15:30
that they're doing Michael Holt because Mr. Terrific has been
01:15:33
getting a lot more played lately in a lot more like in the comics
01:15:37
and animated stuff and things like that like but he was like
01:15:40
non existent up until a couple years ago.
01:15:42
As far as like you know he was a character in DC but nobody
01:15:45
looked at him from what? Just from like the stuff that
01:15:47
I'm like hearing from James Gunn, just like the different
01:15:50
stuff that he's passionate about like authority and things like
01:15:53
that. And I'm like they are they are
01:15:54
bringing authority back. They have but all of this is is
01:15:58
what was popular like right around the time I was also
01:16:00
growing like in that that phase where I was just reading
01:16:02
everything right and and so I think he wants to do the J the
01:16:07
version of the JSA that well the one from the the 90s that when
01:16:13
they rebooted it they had the crazy star man I can't remember
01:16:16
who did it for the life of me right now I'm feel so bad.
01:16:20
I'm so sorry. Comment is normally I could
01:16:22
just, you know, right? Off, but also remember that
01:16:24
we're getting like, just as The International makes.
01:16:28
Sense, because because remember, we're also getting a Booster
01:16:30
Gold move too. So I mean like.
01:16:32
Oh yeah, yeah. The good point.
01:16:33
And see and Blue Beetle. Yeah.
01:16:35
Also. Not which I'm actually looking
01:16:36
forward to. Oh yeah, Reyes.
01:16:38
But a Blue Beetle was in Justice League International as well,
01:16:42
right? So that could be setting that
01:16:44
up, but. I'm the modern version of jsi
01:16:46
and was I was saying the modern version of jsi has Jaime Reyes
01:16:49
in it. So I was like.
01:16:50
Oh, OK, Well, there you go. So they could melt, they could
01:16:52
mold them together. Because I.
01:16:53
Was, Yeah, when Guy was in it originally, like when Batman
01:16:57
slugged them and stuff, which is I have that comic very much
01:17:01
freaking awesome. Ah, but there's nobody in the
01:17:03
world that, as far as comic book fans and comic book readers,
01:17:07
nobody in the world disagreed with Bruce punching Guy in the
01:17:10
face. Like you deserved it, you look.
01:17:15
Really dear? Because guy's a jerk.
01:17:17
He is, yeah. Yeah.
01:17:20
As a green Lambert he is. Ah, James Robinson JSA by James
01:17:24
Robinson. I think that's where he's going
01:17:26
with it and I think he wants the JLI from what I was saying.
01:17:29
So we might get fire and ice in it, and we could get a
01:17:33
reestablishment of Maxwell Lord. OK, that.
01:17:37
Would be cool. Yeah, that would be cool.
01:17:38
I. I want to see Lately they've
01:17:41
been doing a really cool. Team up with Blue Beetle and
01:17:44
Firestarter and I would like to see them bring in Firestarter
01:17:49
and have Blue Beetle and Firestarter like kind of have
01:17:51
their relationship that they've been having in the in in the
01:17:54
comics lately. That'd be cool.
01:18:07
They have to go. I could see that he could be
01:17:57
instead of Booster Gold since you know that he could be
01:18:00
buddies with this Blue Beetle. And Booster Gold is like Ted
01:18:04
Wards because I mean they are gonna have, they're gonna
01:18:06
mention. Yeah.
01:18:08
I mean, Ted Court exists apparently.
01:18:10
Blue Beetle, right. So I mean, like, yeah, that's
01:18:12
just like as soon as I heard like that those three, I was
01:18:15
like, they're talking JSA and they're talking JA lot.
01:18:18
I was like, this is fantastic. Sorry, it seems like James Gunn
01:18:22
is doing exactly what he's being brought in to do and he's doing.
01:18:25
Everything right? Oh yeah.
01:18:26
So I'm kind of. I'm actually excited for the new
01:18:28
DC movies. I hated a lot of the old ones.
01:18:30
I'm just gonna say, yeah, I just feel like it's it's definitely
01:18:33
gonna be a bright new day. It's not gonna be as dark an
01:18:36
emo. I think, and I really think that
01:18:38
James Gunn is willing to take risks where some subtitles might
01:18:42
darker than others and some are just gonna wacky, crazy,
01:18:45
bananas, ridiculous kind of stuff.
01:18:48
And I'm. I think it's gonna be fantastic
01:18:50
because that's what DC is. I mean considering the news that
01:18:54
we have like like, I mean go go ahead and finish like so.
01:18:58
So when's the the scheduled date for Superman Legacy?
01:19:01
So Superman Legacy will launch the movie part of the DC Studios
01:19:05
Gods and Monsters part one. It's expected to begin in early
01:19:09
2024. Just on track for It's currently
01:19:12
scheduled the actual release date of July 11th of 2025.
01:19:16
Whoops, I. Said like, just knowing James
01:19:19
Gunn going into the the madness and the weird.
01:19:22
Yeah, Oh man, the casting that we've got.
01:19:24
I like I. Know this, this is something I
01:19:26
read that I was like. I like this casting.
01:19:29
You want to go ahead and read. Sure.
01:19:31
Speaking of Superman legacy. Sorry.
01:19:33
Oh, sorry. No, no, no.
01:19:34
Go ahead, we'll. Do.
01:19:35
It after Ethan Kerrigan is the latest to join the cast of James
01:19:38
Gunn Superman Legacy and the announcement comes as landed his
01:19:42
third Emmy nomination for his work on Berry.
01:19:44
Which I love that show and I like him on it.
01:19:47
So Kerrigan will be taking off the role.
01:19:48
Oh, you gotta watch it, right? You definitely watch it.
01:19:50
It's on the list. Yeah, I know there's there was
01:19:53
an. Ever growing list.
01:19:55
Yeah, but Kerry will be taking on the role of a superhero name
01:19:58
Metamorpho. Yep, whose alter ego is the
01:20:01
archaeologist. Max Mason, So this is actually
01:20:04
really cool to hear. They're gonna be bringing in
01:20:06
him. Such a weird character choice,
01:20:08
but I love it. It's cool though.
01:20:11
I like. That so I'm saying I love it
01:20:13
because I love that James Gunn brings in the most unlikely
01:20:16
characters and I love it. And what does he do with those
01:20:19
characters? He turns them into gold.
01:20:22
Well, because. Is the gold specifically?
01:20:24
Yeah, I know, right? Like who?
01:20:26
Who would have ever thought of all the characters in DC that
01:20:29
you would ever see live action Metamorpho?
01:20:32
Right, right. It's the same thing with like
01:20:34
nobody really thought TDK was ever going to be on screen, but
01:20:37
we got TDK. Yeah, that was funny.
01:20:39
I love that was that. Was awesome to see him in that.
01:20:41
Yeah, so I was just going to keep breathing.
01:20:44
Oh, I was going to say this also supports the JLI, Yes.
01:20:47
And JSA because he's been and he's been in the in the Justice
01:20:50
League and the JLA, they were the JLA UM, he's been in in in
01:20:56
all of those in some iterations. So he's got a lot of connections
01:20:59
and I could see him being more of like an older mentor.
01:21:02
Types type guy that they that people go to like almost like a
01:21:06
Martian Manhunter type style type of character in the movie
01:21:10
anyway. I'm excited about it.
01:21:13
I'm really looking forward to it.
01:21:14
How about that? In the comics, Mason was
01:21:16
transformed into Metamorpho after he was exposed to the
01:21:20
light of an ancient meteor. Well, on an expedition to find
01:21:23
the Orb of. Raw, Raw, raw.
01:21:27
He uses his ability to change into an element on the periodic
01:21:31
table to fight crime. Just crime, discover the world's
01:21:34
mysteries and maybe get another chance at being human.
01:21:37
So I'm like I said, I'm kind of excited about this one.
01:21:40
He's really. Great character.
01:21:41
I think it's fun. If he could be considered, he
01:21:44
might see himself as a monster. So that might be the part of the
01:21:47
monsters and the gods and monsters part of the movie that
01:21:51
they're they're doing so, right? So that's.
01:21:53
Yeah, yeah. Now it's exciting.
01:21:54
It's again, I think we've got our piece on this one, so.
01:21:57
How long do we have to wait till?
01:21:59
It's until July 11th, 2025. Live Yeah.
01:22:03
Yeah, so should. Do you want to take this next
01:22:08
one? Because I'm pretty sure your mom
01:22:10
wants to take the last one. Oh yes, I could see.
01:22:13
All right. So Speaking of legacy DCU, ever
01:22:17
since James Gunn and Peter Safran took over at DC Studios,
01:22:20
fans have wondered what the fate would be of the current
01:22:22
characters we're seeing in the DC EU films fans are looking
01:22:26
forward to seeing Koba Kai star UH board sholo Madurania. close
01:22:30
enough? Sure.
01:22:32
There we go. I should know this.
01:22:34
Take out the role of DC's Blue Beetle next month, but we
01:22:37
weren't sure how he'd fit into Guns universe.
01:22:39
Or if you would at all. But as Gun often does, he
01:22:41
responded to a fan on Twitter who asked about the character's
01:22:43
fate, saying, yes, Blue Beetle paid by the wonderful shoulder
01:22:46
monitoring. Hollow Maritouania.
01:22:48
Hollow Maritouania I I wasn't sure if the X was a was a hunt
01:22:51
or not, though. It's Hollow Maritouania Gotcha
01:22:54
and a handful of other characters will continue on in
01:22:56
the DCU. Even though the first DC Studios
01:22:58
movie is Superman. Legacy First DC Series Project
01:23:01
is the animated TV show Creature.
01:23:03
So yeah, I'm turning on. I'm pretty.
01:23:06
I'm pretty stoked about this now, and who wants to do it?
01:23:09
You. Want me to do it?
01:23:10
He's never done it. So let me do it and then that
01:23:12
way he'll. Know.
01:23:13
Yeah, I don't. OK, Blue opsis beetles synopsis.
01:23:18
We have a. Blue opsis beetles synopsis,
01:23:21
synopsis. Yeah, you read it.
01:23:26
All right, I will read it. Recent college grad Jaime May as
01:23:29
returns home, full of aspirations for his future, only
01:23:31
to find that home is not quite as he left it.
01:23:33
As he searches to find his purpose in the world, fate
01:23:35
intervenes when Jaime unexpectedly finds himself
01:23:38
deafen of an ancient relic of alien biotechnology, the Scarab.
01:23:42
When the Scarab suddenly chooses Jaime to be its symbiotic host,
01:23:45
he's bestowed with an incredible suit of armor, capable of
01:23:47
extraordinary and unpredictable powers, forever changing his
01:23:50
destiny as he becomes the superhero Blue Peto.
01:23:54
OK, so after hearing the synopsis, there's a couple of
01:23:57
changes that I'm not against. The fact that they made him a
01:24:00
lot older because he's a college graduate, whereas in the comics
01:24:04
he's still in high school. Yeah.
01:24:06
And that they made it. Basically, they they're
01:24:09
hybridizing Jaime's version of the of the Blue Beetle with kind
01:24:14
of with like they're changing it a little bit.
01:24:17
Right. Because it is alien biotech.
01:24:19
Right. But they're making it older.
01:24:21
So they're saying it's an ancient relic, whereas it's
01:24:23
supposed to be. It's supposed to be.
01:24:24
Like a precursor to an invasion kind of thing, right?
01:24:27
Or maybe they're making it where, like, they sense it like
01:24:30
in the past, but it never like, infected anyone, right?
01:24:32
So it is like older technology could which could explain like
01:24:35
him fighting like maybe a newer version of it, yeah.
01:24:37
Right I. Could.
01:24:38
See that or. It was.
01:24:40
An alien technology, but came a long time ago, got buried, and
01:24:44
then it was discovered then. Yeah, because our technology got
01:24:47
to the point where we could sense.
01:24:48
The energy signature, right. And that's that's kind of what I
01:24:51
mean is like, you know, like, yeah, it's, it's like something
01:24:53
that got sent a long time ago but never infected anyone.
01:24:57
But then like you're also getting sort of a hybridization
01:24:59
with Ted chord on that. So it's like, yeah, I like the
01:25:02
idea of you're you're kind of like taking the two versions of
01:25:06
the character and merging it. And again, like I was saying,
01:25:09
like we want to have. A version of Ted Chord that is
01:25:12
like a mentor for him because Ted Chord essentially was Iron
01:25:14
Man. He built his own suit.
01:25:15
So it's kind of like, yeah, yeah.
01:25:16
Yeah, I think so. I I always have.
01:25:19
I've always had a soft spot my heart for Ted, so I will be
01:25:23
happy to see him on the screen. I hope it's not one of those
01:25:26
where he's not really there. Or, though it might be kind of
01:25:30
cool if if at the end of Blue Beetle, uh, something unlocks.
01:25:34
And it's, uh, holograms and teachings that Ted Ford can give
01:25:38
at. So he's not really there, but
01:25:40
he's actually still mentoring by me.
01:25:42
Right. Like you have a way where like,
01:25:44
you know, kind of like Ted, they do establish that Ted is dead.
01:25:47
Yeah. But there's a way where like,
01:25:52
yeah, like just like you said. Like, I like that idea.
01:25:54
I think that's a good. Idea.
01:25:56
I just think that would be kind of cool, but you know that way
01:25:58
find me still on its own. So we kind of got that like, old
01:26:01
school greatest American hero vibe.
01:26:04
About it right. And but he's also does have a
01:26:06
mentor you know and and then like he could even later figure
01:26:09
out a way to open up like an AI aspect of it so that he can
01:26:13
actually have conversations with Ted Ward like how when it and
01:26:17
like an AI know how Ted Ward Yeah right so.
01:26:19
Cool. I'm awful, I guess tonight guys.
01:26:24
Wow, Full of ideas. I like George Lopez being his
01:26:27
mentor. You like George Lopez right now
01:26:32
too? Batman is a fascist art.
01:26:35
What's what's the date that we got on this?
01:26:37
Should do. Oh, it is a Blue Beetle will say
01:26:40
Hola exclusively in theaters on August 18th.
01:26:42
We wanted wanted three. I'm at James this derivative.
01:26:50
Uh, so let's get into this last story here.
01:26:51
Well, this last story is about my future daughter-in-law and.
01:26:57
And are you? Find her hot, too.
01:26:58
Oh, I'm. I'm not.
01:26:59
I'm not. I'm not complaining about that.
01:27:00
Yes. I'm saying you, you find a mom's
01:27:03
mommy hot too, I said. I'm either adopting her or I'm
01:27:06
introducing her to my child. So either.
01:27:09
And mom? Yeah, you just throwing that out
01:27:11
there. And she's.
01:27:13
Age. So I can say that you should
01:27:16
have put that disclaimer ahead of time.
01:27:19
Be like now, hold on, I'm gonna sound like a creep for a second.
01:27:21
And I am. But.
01:27:25
All right, comics news. The sweetest superhero that
01:27:32
we've ever had. All right, Spoiler alert reports
01:27:35
of Kamala cons. Is it Kamala?
01:27:38
Kamala. Kamala.
01:27:40
OK, Kamala Khan's death have been greatly exaggerated.
01:27:44
Oh, let's all put on our pretend shop face, because nobody ever
01:27:47
comes back in Marvel Comics. I said this last week.
01:27:51
There was 1 character that was supposed to stay dead and even
01:27:54
in another alternate universe, he's still alive.
01:27:58
Uncle Ben is still alive in the universe where Gwen Stacy is
01:28:03
Spider Woman. Yeah.
01:28:04
So they they they they have no shame.
01:28:06
Marvel Comics, Yeah. Neither does DC.
01:28:09
So we're. You know neither.
01:28:10
Comics in general have no shame. How about that?
01:28:12
The superhero known as Miss Marvel valiantly sacrificed her
01:28:17
life to save the universe earlier this year in a.
01:28:19
Amazing Spider Man #26 and was celebrated by her friends,
01:28:24
family and fellow superheroes and this week's best special
01:28:28
issue Ball and friend, The Death of Spark.
01:28:31
But I heard. That book was really sad.
01:28:32
Yeah. But I did too.
01:28:34
I heard it was pretty emotional. But as we all know, death is
01:28:37
rarely permanent in superhero comics, and Kamala Kamala is no
01:28:42
exception. She'll soon be back on stands
01:28:45
like comic book stands, like she's not going to just go and
01:28:47
stand places. You know, I wasn't.
01:28:49
It was a good question, but and. That's not even the biggest
01:28:53
news. Iman Milan, the actor who plays
01:28:55
Mala in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, starting with last
01:28:59
year's Miss Marvel series on Disney Plus and continuing on
01:29:02
the big screen with the Marvel's later later this year, will Co
01:29:06
write the new comic alongside Miss Marvel TV writer Sabri
01:29:10
Prasad, W Severe, Severe, Prasada, Carlos Gomez and Adam
01:29:15
Warren will handle the art and Sarah Pitchell, Pitchell,
01:29:18
Pitchelli, Michelli. Will provide the main This was
01:29:22
way scarier than joining the MC for me, Ghalani tells EW.
01:29:26
That's Entertainment Weekly for those.
01:29:30
Those projects feel like they live in their own dimensions, so
01:29:34
I guess I can separate myself here, but you can uphold the
01:29:37
comic book. I've never written anything
01:29:39
before in my entire life, but I have read comments, so I just
01:29:42
wrote what I would want to. I was given a very professional
01:29:46
tool to write what is essentially my own fan fiction.
01:29:49
I'm gonna. I'm gonna preface.
01:29:51
I'm just gonna. I'm gonna preface before I say
01:29:53
this. She's adorable, OK?
01:29:55
She is. Adorable.
01:29:56
You see her face? She is adorable.
01:29:58
Yes. She is.
01:30:00
To that big revelation from the Miss Marvel series finale, the
01:30:03
comment will be titled Miss Marvel The New Music.
01:30:06
OK, so I have to I have to say this, right?
01:30:14
Kamala Khan. This is just the first thing
01:30:10
that popped in my head when I heard this story.
01:30:13
Iman Balani. Yeah, she.
01:30:17
Is not just acting as Kamala Khan.
01:30:19
She is Kamala Khan because she is a comic book nerd, comic book
01:30:25
fan that on her first audition for anything landed the role of
01:30:30
Miss Marvel and now she's writing Miss Marvel.
01:30:33
She was a fan of Miss Marvel that got to play Miss Marvel on
01:30:37
her first audition for anything. Yeah, she talks about this that
01:30:41
she had never auditioned for anything in her life.
01:30:43
She auditioned for Kamala Khan and got it.
01:30:44
Yeah, yeah, right. And she.
01:30:46
Killed it. Like, I mean, for somebody who
01:30:47
had never acted before that she did an amazing job as that
01:30:50
character. Well, she had acted, but just
01:30:52
not. Oh yeah.
01:30:53
Yeah, on stage and so. Well, yeah, but I mean, like,
01:30:55
she hadn't done any on screen acting, right?
01:30:57
And it's just kind of like, again, she killed it as Kamala
01:31:00
Khan. She got everything right.
01:31:02
And that's being somebody who was already a fan of that
01:31:04
character. She read Kamala Khan.
01:31:06
She already knew everything about Kamala Khan.
01:31:08
And mostly because something that we've talked about on the
01:31:10
show before representation that she's all Kamala Khan and she
01:31:13
saw herself in Kamala Khan, you know, she's like.
01:31:16
Wanted to read it so she could be like she could be a superhero
01:31:19
too. You know, Kamala Khan is a
01:31:20
Pakistani character. She's Pakistani herself.
01:31:23
So she was just like, I see myself in this character and
01:31:27
grew up loving Kamala Khan as a character, got to play Kamala
01:31:30
Khan. So exactly what Kamal Khan was
01:31:32
it. For those of you who have never
01:31:33
seen the show or read a comic book, Kamala Khan was a massive,
01:31:36
like, Avengers nerd. She was a fangirl.
01:31:40
Total fan girl. Right and so.
01:31:43
But like, she she, she, she gets Terrigen missed, finds out that
01:31:47
she's an Inhuman and becomes a superhero.
01:31:49
Right. And it's like that's amazing,
01:31:51
you know? And for a man, Valani to become
01:31:53
that, like basically be Kamala Khan and now she's getting to
01:31:57
write the character, that's that's amazing.
01:31:59
It is. And I mean, it shows that she
01:32:01
get, not only, she's getting to shade the character as well.
01:32:04
Yeah, So she's getting to put even more of herself into it.
01:32:07
Um, she understood the assignment.
01:32:08
Yeah, I think. I think you're doing it right
01:32:11
with putting a Again, this is a true fan, right into one
01:32:15
character and then into the comic, right to write.
01:32:17
It it's just so awesome. It's awesome for her.
01:32:19
When all of this comes to her, like when something like this
01:32:22
happens and we should celebrate. It yeah, yeah, it's it's, I
01:32:25
think it's going to be incredible.

We all know though comic fans are comic writers don't get that
01:32:38
much so mean. Yeah, that is another group.
01:32:42
Know what it's? Something that's that.
01:32:45
Needs to renegotiate the width. Oh yeah.
01:32:47
Just all the comic book writers too, yeah.
01:32:50
People who work in comics in general need to renegotiate.
01:32:53
Oh, yes, definitely. Hey, definitely.
01:32:55
But that's also a non union gig, so right?
01:32:57
You know, is what it is in the comics union, everybody.

01:34:24
So let's get into into the synopsis.
01:34:28
Synopsis. Of this episode, Secret Invasion
01:34:32
Episode 4 continued the show's connections, Easter eggs, and
01:34:35
references to the wider MCU in a shorter but no less
01:34:38
consequential outing since Marvel Studios began creating
01:34:41
TV. Shows for Disney Plus Episode 4
01:34:43
has tended to mark big reveals. From the reveal the Time keepers
01:34:47
to Loki being pruned in Loki and John Walker murdering a flag,
01:34:53
murdering a flag Smasher in The Falcon in The Winter Soldier to
01:34:56
Mark Specter Awakening in a psych psychiatric hospital in
01:34:59
Moon Night. Marvel's Disney Plus shows have
01:35:01
had huge revelations in their fourth episodes, The Pin.
01:35:05
On division two. Wanna vision?
01:35:07
I also had a big drop in episode 4 when.
01:35:09
She kicked out Monica. That's.
01:35:12
Right, That's right, I. Found out that she was doing all
01:35:14
of it. That was right reveal.
01:35:16
This continued with Secret Invasion episode 4, which
01:35:19
continued the story after the reveal that Nick Fury's Why
01:35:21
Farah is working for grab it after the MCU Secret Invasion
01:35:25
twist in which Gravik shot Gaia at the end of episode 3, the
01:35:28
show wasted no time furthering the intrigue based story of the
01:35:32
covert scroll invasion on Earth. Guys I need your initial Well I
01:35:37
need your your initial thoughts and what your expectations going
01:35:41
into episode. Before were and kind of how you
01:35:43
got blown out of the water the way that I did.
01:35:46
So can I start? Because please, please.
01:35:49
Yeah. So after the last time I was on
01:35:50
the show, I hadn't watched any of the episodes so I had to do
01:35:54
kind of a binge watch as I was eating dinner today, Three
01:35:57
episodes. So I know what's going on in
01:35:59
this 4th episode so I could actually sound semi smart.
01:36:02
But yeah, after I watched the 1st or the 3rd episode and had
01:36:06
that like 18 seconds to think about it, I had no idea what to
01:36:09
expect. But I was like, holy crap, this
01:36:11
is getting freaking bonkers. Yeah, it is.
01:36:13
Like, I was, I was actually excited to see what was going to
01:36:16
happen in Episode 4. Right.
01:36:17
And like I said, I had 18 seconds to kind of be all like,
01:36:20
Oh my gosh, what's going to happen?
01:36:21
So there we go. That's how I felt.
01:36:23
I mean, I kind. Of had a I had a feeling going
01:36:25
into the episode that at the end of episode 3 and again,
01:36:28
spoilers, guys, we're going to be talking a lot of spoilers
01:36:30
here. Going into Episode 4 and seeing
01:36:33
Guy get shot. I had a feeling I was like,
01:36:36
she's got to be a super scroll. There's it's got me.
01:36:39
She's got me a super scroll. They wouldn't kill her after.
01:36:42
Super squirrel reveal, just like that, you know?
01:36:44
And not that she was a super scroll.
01:36:46
I mean, like, I like I we went into Episode 4 and I was kind of
01:36:51
like I was waiting for things to just kind of blow up.
01:36:54
And it did, and I loved it. Yeah, I was waiting for that
01:36:57
reveal with Rhody. Oh yeah.
01:36:59
I've been saying since episode one, James Rhodes is going to be
01:37:02
a Scroll. It's going to happen.
01:37:03
Yeah, yeah. He may have, He may have gotten
01:37:05
some assistance. I mean, for me I was just a
01:37:08
little bit like I I expected where we to be a scroll I.
01:37:12
Just a little disappointed because I thought they might not
01:37:15
do it because that was the obvious choice.
01:37:17
You know, that's like the obvious one.
01:37:19
He's the one, you know, one Avenger or whatever who's
01:37:21
actually in the show. And then it's like, OK, well, of
01:37:23
course in a beer scroll, you know, right.
01:37:24
So I was a little discipline, but I mean, I exactly though,
01:37:27
and it's interesting. He's a female scroll, though.
01:37:29
Well. Yeah, only she.
01:37:31
Don't know how to be. No, The thing is like the only
01:37:34
thing that I had with Barra going in, like because I had
01:37:38
asked this before in our group chats, you know, does Nick.
01:37:42
Know that she's a scroll. Right.
01:37:43
And they and they explained it in this episode that that Nick
01:37:47
didn't know that she was a scroll and that like he talks
01:37:49
specifically about how he that how she fooled him and he was
01:37:52
just like how long, you know, was for how long have you been
01:37:55
my wife, right. And finds out it's like since
01:37:57
the beginning I thought that was referring referring to her being
01:38:00
like just a spy like. He knew she was.
01:38:03
He knew she was a scroll. Yeah.
01:38:04
Yeah. She he never, she had never told
01:38:07
him a story of how she got her face.
01:38:09
Yeah, she settled on that person, and that's what that
01:38:12
story was about. Incredibly sweet.
01:38:14
Incredibly sad story, yeah. That and and it was the absolute
01:38:19
opposite of what they did in Wonder Woman 1984.
01:38:22
Yeah, well, not like I felt that.
01:38:24
I felt that he didn't know, because the last question that
01:38:27
she asked him was if you if, if I would have revealed my real
01:38:33
face, would you have still loved me?
01:38:34
He goes. I guess we'll never find out.
01:38:36
I think she's just referring to if she would have been herself.
01:38:38
Yeah, if he was still fell in love with her, right, exactly.
01:38:41
But there was also a reference when he walked into that one
01:38:44
cafe and she was like, oh, who you looking for?
01:38:46
You know? And he was like, oh, so and so.
01:38:48
And she was all like, oh, really?
01:38:50
What does she look like? And he said, oh, it varies on
01:38:52
the day of the week. Depends on the.
01:38:53
Day of the. Week.
01:38:54
Yeah, the day of the week. Great.
01:38:56
Yeah, When? He met her.
01:38:57
It was more that he was looking for it, for a contact.
01:39:00
He was looking for somebody. That he was her.
01:39:01
He was looking. It was her.
01:39:02
He was looking for her. Yeah.
01:39:04
They were doing a little role-playing.
01:39:05
Yeah, they were doing a little cheeky flirty, yeah.
01:39:09
Kind of thing. But I think she was saying, if
01:39:11
you had only known me with my scroll face, would you still
01:39:14
have loved me? I think that's what she was.
01:39:16
Yeah. I did all of this for you.
01:39:18
But would you have loved me even if I did find anything?
01:39:21
That's what I took from now. We could be totally wrong.
01:39:23
And Phil is 100% right on this. I mean, he's been right.
01:39:26
No. Who's the scrolls not?
01:39:27
Let Phil be right? Brains will not be.
01:39:30
Wrong. How dare you?
01:39:31
He doesn't like me being right this much.
01:39:34
I think that it was. I thought this episode was not
01:39:38
only more action driven, but more emotionally driven.
01:39:42
Like we we got an emotional beating with that scene of her
01:39:47
talking about how she got versus how she became Priscilla.
01:39:50
And then we got the shootout at end and casualties that, you
01:39:55
know, that happened and the president passing out, that guy
01:39:58
passes out to you. I'm sorry, he passes out.
01:40:00
Yeah. They need to look at his blood
01:40:02
sugar. Or maybe he's got like
01:40:05
uncontrolled blood pressure or something.
01:40:07
Yeah, there's there's something going on little bit of.
01:40:09
Blood rushed to his head and he passed out.
01:40:11
I know. God, he flipped over.
01:40:13
It was upside down. I mean, I don't know what that
01:40:16
wouldn't have knocked me out. And she's no, you know what, I
01:40:18
bet he doesn't drink alcohol either, because he had that big
01:40:20
old, uh, upset about earlier about um scrody Um scrody being.
01:40:26
Scrody on the Urban. Move on, yeah.
01:40:30
I think. Also, part of that was more so
01:40:33
that, uh, that that you know you're not supposed to be
01:40:35
drinking on duty. Yeah, there is a it, even if
01:40:40
that's just a small Easter egg for anybody who's in the
01:40:42
military. Like you can get in a shit ton
01:40:43
of trouble for being drunk on duty, right?
01:40:45
Yeah, gave him a. Lot of, a lot of leeway for him,
01:40:49
like, you know, smelling whiskey on him, right.
01:40:50
He's like, hey, yeah, yeah, I just.
01:40:53
I loved how he went, oh, so tree game for this.
01:40:54
I was like. I'm.
01:40:57
Gonna throw it out there. I don't know if any of you guys
01:40:59
have ever had Pappy Van Winkles, but it's the best whiskey.
01:41:01
I've ever had in my life and it is just as expensive as he just,
01:41:04
he mentions in that episode. I realized it was really a
01:41:07
thing. I thought they admitted.
01:41:08
It for Marvel, no happy event. An actual whiskey is one of the
01:41:12
most expensive whiskeys you can get.
01:41:15
Me and Jackie had a flight of it at a restaurant here in
01:41:18
Sacramento. It was expensive, but it was
01:41:19
worth it. You guys have to donate plasma
01:41:21
after to recover. No, to recover the money.
01:41:25
No, no, we. I was like, is it poison?
01:41:29
What the? Hell no.
01:41:30
But there's not to jump too much into it.
01:41:35
But that particular whiskey, there's three batches of, right?
01:41:38
There's only three batches that were ever made of Pappy Van
01:41:40
Winkle. One of them was in like 18, like
01:41:44
1860 something. One of them was like in the
01:41:47
1880s. And then the last one was during
01:41:50
Prohibition. And.
01:41:51
Wow. The the way that they explained
01:41:53
it to us was and then the guy, as we took the like, drank.
01:41:57
The whiskey, he was like explaining like different tastes
01:41:59
that we're getting out of it. He was saying the first one.
01:42:02
So whiskey makers only make 3 batches in their lifetime.
01:42:06
OK, there's gonna be. And so there's your first batch,
01:42:11
right? The one that where you're
01:42:12
learning how to do it. Second batch improvement.
01:42:14
And then your master batch is always your third batch, right?
01:42:16
Right. Which Pappy Van Winkle is
01:42:18
exactly that, right. So we tried the the first batch
01:42:21
from the 18. I think, like I said, it was
01:42:22
1860s, like right around the Civil War.
01:42:25
Yeah, right around Civil War. And when you when you taste it,
01:42:30
it's very let's it's it's very rough.
01:42:32
Right. And then we're mashy.
01:42:34
Yeah right, right. And then you hit the you do the
01:42:36
one from the 1880s and that one you can taste the improvement.
01:42:41
You can taste like it's a little smoother, you can taste them, a
01:42:43
little more flavor in it and then the Reconstruction Era in.
01:42:46
It exactly And then the Prohibition era one, because
01:42:50
they made it during prohibition. It was one of those things where
01:42:52
like they buried the casks and they were selling it like on the
01:42:55
side and everything like that, right?
01:42:56
The Prohibition era. One, which is the one that's
01:42:58
like monstrously expensive. That one you it's just you can
01:43:03
taste the perfection in it, right?
01:43:05
Like it's just it's smooth it's it tastes great.
01:43:08
You can taste like, you know, like definitely taste the sugars
01:43:11
in it and it's like easily one of the best whiskeys I've ever
01:43:14
tried. Right.
01:43:15
And the whole thing was like he was that the guy was explaining.
01:43:17
It's not just that it's good whiskey, it's that the fact that
01:43:21
it was Prohibition era whiskey that wasn't destroyed.
01:43:23
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
01:43:24
I mean, that's like you're tasting history.
01:43:26
That's really. Yeah, you talk about these
01:43:27
liquors that you have to like really work at and really you
01:43:31
know like hundreds of years sometimes to get it correct
01:43:35
that, you know, if you're you're actually, it's art, it's just
01:43:38
art and a liquid, right? And I mean that's cool to me.
01:43:41
It would all taste the like burning.
01:43:44
So it would be lost on me. And I'm not of age, so, you
01:43:46
know, this is. So.
01:43:48
Yeah. So I mean, that's it.
01:43:49
But no, I honestly thought Afghan was like an NCU marvel
01:43:53
invention. So I had no idea.
01:43:55
So today I learned Afghan equals is the real things.
01:43:58
Well, same same. Here he he mentions in the
01:44:00
episode that you know, one of one of his vices is good whiskey
01:44:04
and the fact that he actually busts it out.
01:44:07
You know, one of the whiskeys that's considered one of the
01:44:09
best whiskeys ever made was what was.
01:44:12
I think for me as a whiskey drinker was a big though, yeah.
01:44:14
Oh no. I mean, it's a temptation that
01:44:16
you almost can't refuse if you enjoy.
01:44:19
So. I mean, I I get why get it,
01:44:21
solemn manipulation. But it was it was a fun I
01:44:24
enjoyed. Absolutely.
01:44:25
And I mean again, this is right after that reveal.
01:44:27
Right. Like we got that that that
01:44:29
roadie reveal that we kind of already knew was coming right
01:44:33
Now also that I was trying to figure out who the scroll was
01:44:37
that was roadie because that that makes it a little bit more
01:44:40
difficult to figure out because it's a female scroll.
01:44:42
So a couple of people on Twitter are saying that they thought
01:44:45
that the at the person playing the scroll that she actually her
01:44:49
name's Rava, which is like it's almost being opposite of Barra,
01:44:54
you know so. That might have something to do
01:44:55
with it, but I don't know. I haven't to see what her name
01:44:58
was, so I was just calling her Scrot.
01:45:01
She is the scrotum of roads. But yeah, so I mean just to kind
01:45:09
of backtrack a little bit. So there are a crap ton of X-Men
01:45:13
and Inhuman references within Barra and Fury's home.
01:45:17
Like that book jacket? Yeah, yeah, that's not, that's
01:45:20
frame. That was so cool.
01:45:21
Yeah, so I mean, like, there's a whole bunch of, like, fun stuff
01:45:24
inside of there. If you're paying attention, you
01:45:25
see all these things that are referencing.
01:45:27
Stuff that we're gonna see in the future.
01:45:29
I mean, like, we've already seen different versions of Black
01:45:34
Bolt, right? Like yeah, seeing Black Bolt
01:45:36
kind of make his returning MCU and everything like that, but
01:45:38
then also the X-Men, Charles, Charles Xavier.
01:45:41
Yeah. Right, right.
01:45:43
You know, but we're also seeing, I mean, we know the X-Men are
01:45:46
coming because we've got Wolverine.
01:45:47
Yeah, we've seen Wolverine in his suit at this point.
01:45:50
So yeah, and I mean, there's all those rumors about all the
01:45:54
people that are like all the X-Men.
01:45:56
I'm like all the actors that were X-Men you know so I that
01:45:59
we're in like the old 20th century box like that Vamka
01:46:02
Jensen and I we we reported on I think last week we reported on
01:46:07
it right and and just all that. So obviously there's gonna be a
01:46:10
lot of and Deadpool who now whether they make it all through
01:46:14
the Deadbeat, well, but. It's doubtful, but still, yeah.
01:46:17
Pretty sure Wade's gonna kill everybody because that's what he
01:46:19
does. Oh yeah, Who does in the comics?
01:46:21
So I mean like yeah, I mean they may twist it and have him
01:46:23
actually bringing heroes from other worlds to to help fight
01:46:29
gang because King wouldn't wouldn't you know that's
01:46:31
something paying would expect something.
01:46:32
I don't know, I that's a little fuzzy.
01:46:34
My my fortune telling abilities for MCU movies on that front are
01:46:39
a little clouded at. The Wade's gonna have a
01:46:42
carbonadium sword. He's gonna kill everybody.
01:46:44
That's what's gonna happen, OK? All.
01:46:48
Right. We get it.
01:46:48
Phil, is this gonna be the Mandalorian all?
01:46:50
Again, yeah, yeah, it is all. Right.
01:46:52
Maybe he's gonna marry Wolverine.
01:46:55
At least we know What the What the.
01:46:57
Yeah, Wade and Logan are gonna be next few months is gonna be.
01:47:01
Between. Wade and Logan are getting
01:47:02
married to them that they can they can merge the.
01:47:07
Houses. Of merge the houses of X-Men
01:47:09
right there, OK? The House of them, they can
01:47:11
merge the House of Animals. House of them, yes.
01:47:14
Oh my God. Oh my God.
01:47:18
So I didn't the Inhumans thing though.
01:47:21
What was the Inhumans? It was the wasn't where is it I
01:47:24
was reading right? Here there was, uh, there was
01:47:26
there's basically a book jacket that was talking.
01:47:28
Yeah, decoding the superhuman gene.
01:47:30
Oh, it actually. Yeah, and.
01:47:32
It's. Supposed to be like a reference
01:47:34
to both Inhumans and X-Men, right?
01:47:36
And then they're gonna find out. What we're gonna find out is
01:47:38
they're gonna induce in humans and the X-Men and they're gonna
01:47:40
be got they're gonna say guys, so we just we brought you all
01:47:43
here. This is an intervention.
01:47:45
You guys are actually all. Mutes, yeah.
01:47:49
Didn't do anything. Right, Cosmics and the others we
01:47:52
consider tearing mutants. Yeah, and so urgent, miss.
01:47:56
Doesn't mean so urgent, Miss Lie, right?
01:47:59
It's a conspiracy. You're all mutants.
01:48:01
It's turning everybody in, A mutants.
01:48:03
It's the government. I tried everybody in a mutant
01:48:06
scroll. They're turning everybody in a
01:48:07
mutant. Another lie that she'll told.
01:48:10
You. I turned the frogs in.
01:48:12
A mutant? That by turning everybody in a
01:48:14
mutants Pakistan, yeah. Yeah.
01:48:23
So we get a nano tech reference an episode for so so roadie is
01:48:29
talking about a poison in Secret Invasion for just kind of like a
01:48:32
joke about like take like drinking the whiskey and and
01:48:36
Nick are we can't call him Nick Fury says but he said he says he
01:48:43
goes oh they're poisoned in this he goes no nanotech we didn't.
01:48:46
Lie. No, he didn't lie.
01:48:48
He told him. He did put nanotech inside of.
01:48:52
It seems like a joke, but it wasn't, you know, he said in
01:48:55
Winter Soldier in Cap, America. Which, like, he doesn't lie.
01:48:58
He tells the truth. Yeah, this is another example.
01:49:00
Nobody. Nobody.
01:49:01
Believes it's Scrotum's fault that he didn't believe.
01:49:04
Him scrotty scrotty on the Shorty.
01:49:06
Oh my God. No, no, no, no, no scrotum on a
01:49:10
Shorty. Oh man.
01:49:13
So yeah, so that's really cool. I did like that.
01:49:15
So, you know, obviously they're still.
01:49:17
Scrotine on Eugene. Teasing.
01:49:21
OK, we're done. The mutants and and all of that.
01:49:25
I think that's great. Yeah, talk about these, these
01:49:28
powers that graphic obviously has, but we haven't seen all of
01:49:32
them. But like, you know, there's
01:49:33
references to certain powers and and we see two of them, right?
01:49:38
So. So it's very extremists, frost,
01:49:43
beast and. And Culp City.
01:49:45
Oh yeah, Culp City. Sorry, I still call them black
01:49:47
dwarf, OK? Cannot use that word.
01:49:52
You can't say. That it's funny because like you
01:49:54
know like the they changed it because there are people can be
01:49:57
offended by it. But he's like he's a reference
01:49:58
to a star. Yeah.
01:49:59
Yeah, he's. Reference to a type of star,
01:50:01
Yeah, but still. I mean, I'll give you this.
01:50:04
Culub City is a badass name. Oh yeah, right.
01:50:07
Uh, but like, they never actually called him Culb City in
01:50:10
any of the movies. So it's kind of like, you know,
01:50:12
it's like you could have just still caught him.
01:50:13
Black Dwarf. It would have been fine.
01:50:14
It's like a cert ship of a cert Bounty Hunter Star Wars universe
01:50:19
is no longer named what it was because.
01:50:23
That's the point, see. It you can see it.
01:50:25
Slave one, Slave one. It was slave one.
01:50:28
Oh my God. That's the point.
01:50:30
Slave one, we're talking about the slave One, right?
01:50:32
We're. Talking about Slave One, it's
01:50:33
the point. It's.
01:50:34
Play run. It's totally it's not.
01:50:35
It is a fire spray class ship, not the fires.
01:50:38
Which is not wrong, it is a fire spray class ship.
01:50:41
Right, but it's also called the slave one.
01:50:43
The reason? See, the reason is because
01:50:45
they're trying to turn Bobo Fet into an antihero rather than
01:50:48
him. Being a straight villain, he can
01:50:49
still have. A ship?
01:50:50
Name of the fucking slave wants. Seriously.
01:50:52
The whole reason that they, they don't want it to be the slave
01:50:55
one is because they feel like that makes him a definite bad
01:50:58
guy for him to call his ship a slave.
01:51:01
And it's like, I mean that's. Who he was.
01:51:03
Right. I'm not.
01:51:03
I don't think you should take away from the history of him.
01:51:06
But let's let's not get into that.
01:51:07
Yeah. I don't believe that you still
01:51:09
call it the slave one. It's.
01:51:10
I think it's one. Apologize.
01:51:12
It's stupid anyway. Rabbits grabbing.
01:51:14
We're we're nerds. It happens.
01:51:16
So. But I mean, we do.
01:51:18
See the tree roots come out of Gravic's arm.
01:51:21
He basically does. It was actually a lot shorter
01:51:23
than I thought it was going to be.
01:51:24
I thought that was going to be a much longer scene with him like
01:51:26
almost doing like in Guardians two when when group like grabs
01:51:30
everybody and. Yeah.
01:51:34
He just like goes between the whole.
01:51:36
Right, I thought. That's what was going to happen,
01:51:38
no. It's like a quick like let me
01:51:39
push you with my root and then bring it back and it's like Ansy
01:51:41
Climac. Disappointed about that.
01:51:44
If you think about it, that the powers that they got that they
01:51:47
have on here are very similar to the fantastic.
01:51:50
Four Power, right. Yeah, right, right, right.
01:51:52
They are. Yeah.
01:51:53
So like, you've got the heating, like the extremists for the hot,
01:51:56
right. And then you've got group for
01:51:58
the, you know, Mr. Fantastic. Yeah.
01:52:01
And then you've got Paul Obsidian and the frost beast for
01:52:06
the thing, basically. And then there, you're just
01:52:08
missing the Invisible Woman. So I think extremity, I think
01:52:11
extremists is actually representing an invisible woman
01:52:14
because she thinks like because she can, she can do like force
01:52:17
field and she. Has like light healing
01:52:19
abilities. Yeah, yeah, I think well,
01:52:24
because. Yeah, I could be a merger too.
01:52:25
I was saying, I think the Frost Beast is representing Johnny
01:52:30
Storm and just being opposite, right?
01:52:33
Yeah. So like, you know, cuz like
01:52:34
basically instead of getting fire powers, he gets Frost
01:52:36
powers, right. And then Culp City and is
01:52:40
obviously thing. Yeah, yeah.
01:52:42
Because I don't know if you guys saw that trailer for Next for
01:52:45
for this week's episode, but there's.
01:52:48
Basically the Super scroll and in that trailer looks like the
01:52:51
Hulk. Yeah.
01:52:52
So I'm pretty sure that that's what they're doing with Culp
01:52:55
City and is that they're turning into like super strength powered
01:52:58
monsters. Yeah, they just happen to be
01:52:59
mean like. Right, right, right.
01:53:01
Well, I mean, cuz, you know, schools are green, but I mean,
01:53:03
you know, I think that that's, uh, I think that's what they're
01:53:06
doing with Culp City and is that they're Rep that's representing
01:53:09
the thing. Yeah, no, I absolutely.
01:53:10
I was just. I just thought that it was an
01:53:12
interesting way to make the reference without it being so
01:53:16
obvious. Right.
01:53:17
And anything that about like the scrolls, like the scrolls
01:53:21
appearances they would they would get it but the other.
01:53:23
People, right. And then the other thing is
01:53:24
because they haven't introduced any actual like kind of like any
01:53:28
fire characters, you know, like we don't have fire starter, we
01:53:31
don't have. Uh, we don't have Johnny Storm.
01:53:34
We don't have Johnny that has fire.
01:53:36
No, yeah. The closest we've gotten is
01:53:38
extremes. Yeah.
01:53:39
Well, and also, I mean, if you're talking fire, we did get
01:53:42
Ghost Rider. But it wasn't official MCU
01:53:45
though, so that's, yeah. Which sucks.
01:53:47
That's official. It was on TV.
01:53:48
TV I did love him as as I was writer, but yeah, I.
01:53:53
Well guys, out of this whole episode, my favorite thing about
01:53:56
this episode was when Home Girl was talking about her owl and
01:54:00
she called it now Nick Gurry, and she put a little patch over
01:54:03
his eye. Yeah, that was.
01:54:05
Hilarious. So good.
01:54:06
That was my favorite part of the whole episode.
01:54:08
I was like, that's funny. Olivia Coleman is attraction.
01:54:12
So guys, I need your rating. Give me your rating on the
01:54:16
episode overall. I'm gonna say it was like 8 root
01:54:20
roots out of 10 Nick Bury patches on.
01:54:25
Now I love it all right all. Right.
01:54:27
I'm gonna go nine block. I mean, you can't say that out
01:54:31
of 10. Nick, very shock face.
01:54:34
Oh, man. All right, I'm gonna go 9
01:54:38
resuscitations of brags out of 10.
01:54:42
Maybe we should. I don't know if we should get a
01:54:44
divorce or renew our back. I love that line.
01:54:50
Yeah, that's that's my rating because I just thought it was.
01:54:53
Great. Again, loving that that scene
01:54:55
because they both had an opportunity to kill each other
01:54:58
because she obviously was meant to kill him and he like it's
01:55:02
just. Kind of like defending himself
01:55:04
and they both decided not to shoot each other.
01:55:06
It felt like it. They were eats.
01:55:07
It was 2 equals coming together to have a conversation.
01:55:10
They both they Neither one of them had an advantage over the
01:55:14
other. I love that he called her out,
01:55:15
too. He's like, so you're gonna check
01:55:16
that gun and kill me now? And she's like, pulls it out,
01:55:18
puts it on the table like he already.
01:55:22
But it was. I think it's probably the
01:55:24
fairest chance Nick Erie has ever given someone to kill them.
01:55:27
Oh yeah, absolutely. So I think, you know, so that to
01:55:30
me, I thought it was just that to me they were on E putting it
01:55:34
was in two equals having a conversation.
01:55:36
And I think that's what made it so powerful to me.
01:55:39
And then after that it go from oh, Oh my gosh, Oh my heart, Oh
01:55:42
my gosh. And then it goes right into
01:55:44
explosions. So it's like, right?
01:55:46
You know, Yay. I'm gonna give this nine undead
01:55:50
scrolls out of 10 glasses of Pappy Van Winkle.
01:55:54
Good, nice. Solid.
01:55:56
It tastes like burning. I love the taste of burning.
01:55:59
Trees like extremists, is what it tastes like.
01:56:01
It does. Oh, God, yes, guys, Predictions.
01:56:05
What do we think is gonna happen in?
01:56:07
Because we do have the penultimate episode coming up.
01:56:09
We do in tonight, right? No.
01:56:12
Does it come out Thursday or one?
01:56:14
Yeah, it comes out Wednesday. Yeah, so.
01:56:16
Tonight it'll be out. Tonight.
01:56:17
Tonight, 3:00 AM Eastern Time in the US.
01:56:21
Midnight specific time and all. Right.
01:56:24
So so predict. What do you guys think is gonna
01:56:27
happen? And this pent up an ultimate
01:56:31
episode, I think Nick theory's getting the pack.
01:56:34
He's finally stopped messing around and trying to find a
01:56:37
solution that doesn't get a lot of people killed.
01:56:41
And so he's going for the eye patch and he's going for his old
01:56:45
school gun and and we ain't gonna get the old man theory.
01:56:49
We're gonna get Nicholas J. Whoo.
01:56:52
Let's embrace that K out of good.
01:56:54
Yeah. All right.
01:56:54
Yeah, I'm gonna go, basically. Yeah, that's basically what I
01:56:57
was gonna say. I was thinking that they may
01:56:59
reveal that this Nick we've been seeing has been a scroll, and
01:57:02
then we have the real one come down.
01:57:03
But I feel like, I feel like you're thinking about, he's
01:57:05
gonna just kind of feel like I'm done with the bullshit.
01:57:07
Let's just do this. Let's.
01:57:09
Yeah, I really. I love that.
01:57:10
Thanks. I mean that's.
01:57:12
Everything you. Guys hope to said I'm kind of
01:57:14
like yeah I I would go with along with that too because it
01:57:16
is it's time to see the true buri that we've been waiting.
01:57:20
For them to bring out. I want some fury rage.
01:57:23
Yeah, I'm done seeing this. Mopey sad.
01:57:26
I got scratched in the eye by a cat.
01:57:28
You're. Flurkin It was a Flurkin it.
01:57:31
Was a cat. It still was a cat that's
01:57:33
working. Cat, you're a flirkin cat, OK?
01:57:37
Why are there so many motherfucking cats Or this
01:57:39
motherfucking? Space station.
01:57:43
That's what he's gonna say. And then put the patch on and
01:57:45
there we go. I just.
01:57:48
I do think that I'm gonna get that.
01:57:49
I think he's gonna team up with Sonia because he has no one
01:57:52
else. No other options and I think
01:57:56
Gaya and Barra are gonna team up and I think that they may
01:57:59
actually become a new faction that is like the in between
01:58:03
Talos and Graphic and that's that.
01:58:06
I think that might. For all third parties.
01:58:07
Get ready for it. Oh my God.
01:58:09
It's the Green Party. Oh my God.
01:58:12
Speaking of Talos, I think we're gonna find out that Talos isn't
01:58:15
dead. Yeah.
01:58:17
MMM. I find out that Maria Hill is
01:58:20
not dead. That that I do think.
01:58:21
Right. I think that Maria Hill is gonna
01:58:24
show back up just because, again, we know that she's coming
01:58:26
back for other projects that take place after this.
01:58:29
So I think we find out that Maria is back because Episode 5
01:58:33
would be where you reveal that. So she can be a badass in
01:58:36
episode six. Yeah.
01:58:38
Again, I think again, I don't think yes brought a.
01:58:42
Friend, I don't think that Talos is going to be dead.
01:58:44
Uh, I honestly, I feel like I don't know that, that it's.
01:58:48
If it doesn't feel right, maybe that's the intention is that
01:58:52
it's just like, you know, you're, you know, killing Talos
01:58:54
doesn't feel right. And it's kind of like, you know,
01:58:56
that's. The point you know.
01:58:58
Right. I I think if he was there too,
01:59:01
like. I think if he was dead, they
01:59:02
would have given you that last shot of his head as he drove
01:59:05
off. It's kind of a he's not dead.
01:59:07
I don't know right the. Thing is that?
01:59:09
Doubtful. Like it's kind of like Nick just
01:59:11
leaving. His friends.
01:59:12
Yeah. There, right.
01:59:14
I don't feel like. I don't feel like Fury just
01:59:16
leaves his friends dead bodies, right?
01:59:18
You know, So I mean, I feel like, I feel like Talos is still
01:59:21
alive. You probably passed out from
01:59:23
from the shock, but I mean, like, I feel like Talus is still
01:59:26
alive. We're gonna find out in the next
01:59:27
episode that's Alice is still alive.
01:59:29
You know, maybe Gaia helps him or something like that.
01:59:32
Because we know Guy is a Super Scroll at this point.
01:59:35
I know that Nick and Guy are probably gonna team up in some
01:59:38
way or form and they're gonna fight Gravic, and I think that
01:59:41
Gravic is. Gonna reveal another superpower,
01:59:43
specifically the Culip City and Power because we saw it in the
01:59:46
trailer. So yeah, there was that scene
01:59:49
where you see Guy go down into the basement.
01:59:54
It's got all the bodies. Yeah.
01:59:56
And so initially I was like, oh, that's got to be all of the
01:59:59
people that they've gotten stasis that they've been using
02:00:02
for a longer period of time. So those are all humans.
02:00:04
Then I started thinking about it that it's like they probably had
02:00:07
to have test setbacks. On for the Super scroll stuff,
02:00:10
like, they weren't successful the very first time, right?
02:00:13
So they had to have scrolls do that, right?
02:00:16
So those could all be scroll bots.
02:00:18
Ooh, and that's. Interesting idea hiding from
02:00:21
everyone in his fashion is that he killed all of all of these
02:00:24
scrolls in order to get everybody super scrolls so that
02:00:28
he's not really on their side, he just wants to.
02:00:30
Win. I just thought of something else
02:00:31
too. So remember my my prediction
02:00:33
before and and this one's a long shot, so this may not happen,
02:00:36
but I mean, like Ross, those are amazing.
02:00:40
Remember I was talking about how Talos might be the bad guy?
02:00:43
Like the overall bad guy in this MMM.
02:00:45
What if Talos staged his death? Ooh.
02:00:49
The Gravis is just a pawn. Right grab.
02:00:53
Right. And graphic.
02:00:55
And basically everything he's doing, especially like, you
02:00:57
know, the conversation that they had was in a public place.
02:00:59
Even those all trolls that were there, right.
02:01:01
It wasn't a public place where they had this conversation about
02:01:04
who was in charge and who was the general and everything like
02:01:06
that, right? Well, maybe everything.
02:01:08
They've done so far was them right they they've been kind of
02:01:14
just like staging things to make no, like their public
02:01:16
appearances seem like they're at odds.
02:01:18
But in reality, Talos is actually calling all the shots.
02:01:21
Yeah, because they did make him really daughter.
02:01:24
Yeah, and the other thing is lost and.
02:01:26
The other thing is that just kind of we have unresolved
02:01:29
conversations between Nick and UH in Talos.
02:01:32
Like I I don't see them just killing Talos after all these
02:01:36
conversations that they've been having him.
02:01:37
Like the where they've. Been at odds, right.
02:01:39
So I again, this is my long shot prediction but like you know, I
02:01:44
I don't think that it's 100% gonna be something that happens.
02:01:46
But again with good story telling, you know there's a lot
02:01:49
of twists and turns. The the biggest twist you can
02:01:52
give us is that Talos faked his death and had Graphic publicly
02:01:56
kill him the way he did. Yeah.
02:01:57
It's like, yeah, I was, I was just about to say that, but
02:01:59
yeah. That's a real shot in the I'm
02:02:01
shot in the dark, but. Yeah, 100.
02:02:03
Percent but I will shot in the graphic.
02:02:08
Especially like when you look at the trailer right now, they.
02:02:10
Care it is I just. Told him they just showed him
02:02:14
like stabbing uh, a graphic stabbing UH Talos.
02:02:18
And it's like, you know, just the close proximity, the weight,
02:02:21
the control that graphic has to have with that kind of stuff,
02:02:24
you know, they can make it see. And and I, one of the things I
02:02:26
noticed was you see Talos like kind of falling to the ground
02:02:29
and holding his chest. I don't really see any blood.
02:02:32
Whereas like look at when he killed Maria Hill.
02:02:34
There's a clear gunshot wound in her chest and like red blood
02:02:38
that could just be maybe the scrolls.
02:02:40
Uh, blood just coagulates differently than ours does in
02:02:44
the in oxygen. But there have been, there have
02:02:46
been other characters that they've killed off that have had
02:02:49
clear like blood, you know? No, I know, I know.
02:02:51
I know, that's really. That's why I'm saying is like
02:02:55
you know, it's it's the small details like that, right?
02:02:57
Like they I would. I would love for him to be alive
02:03:01
and not and not dead. I mean, I I've said beginning.
02:03:03
I feel like he's the sacrificial person on this.
02:03:05
Like he's got to be the one that dies to make the means
02:03:08
something. But I mean I would love it.
02:03:10
It did, because I just love and Mendelssohn.
02:03:12
Oh love Tallows in this, but also pill in law, bring Dr. Doom
02:03:16
from a variant world and have him be tallow.
02:03:19
Like, have him be that guy. I know oh man, my other
02:03:24
prediction because I have one more Oh my other prediction is
02:03:28
and then I got asked few. Questions.
02:03:29
OK, Well, I was gonna say my other prediction is that we have
02:03:33
merged people. Go ahead and ask me your
02:03:37
question though. OK, who do you think's gonna be
02:03:42
scrawled this? Week ooh, Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:03:44
OK, I want to do it on camera because there was a discrepancy
02:03:49
last week. I gave it to you.
02:03:51
Maybe the president? No, because I think the
02:03:52
president is actually human, and I think they're going to kill
02:03:55
him off. Um.
02:03:56
Yeah, so. I I think it's going to be if
02:03:58
there is a scroll reveal just because we're at on the last two
02:04:01
episodes, I don't think. I think they're done with
02:04:03
reveals at this point, and I think it's going to be more more
02:04:06
storyline going forward at this point.
02:04:08
I I don't think we're going to get another Scroll reveal.
02:04:10
If we do, it's going to be a I think it'll just be a rando
02:04:15
again, kind of like episode 2. Yeah.
02:04:16
Put down because you know I've been like spinning this whole
02:04:19
story about me. I've made secret secret agent
02:04:22
tall guy into like this whole like big like he's got his own
02:04:25
side quest and everything. And I think he is a scrawl as
02:04:29
well. And I think that broken arm was
02:04:30
totally like a red herring to make everybody think he wasn't
02:04:33
really a scrawl. And he's really like he's going
02:04:36
to have the Fantastic or Mr. Fantastic hours because he's
02:04:39
already big S he could get super stretchy anyway.
02:04:42
OK. And I don't, I I don't think
02:04:45
we're gonna have, uh, somebody who has, like, you know,
02:04:47
somebody who's an actual Erica. Yeah, so not like, you know
02:04:50
Sharon Carter. Or Val, which was my prediction.
02:04:52
But uh, I think she. I think she's coming.
02:04:55
I think she. Don't possibly like any any of
02:05:00
the Bartons would be a good pick.
02:05:02
But I mean, yeah, I found out that she was mocked.
02:05:05
She was mocked. We found that out at the end of
02:05:08
Hawkeye. And so I feel like you know, OK,
02:05:10
yeah that's a really interesting like all back in yeah it's it's
02:05:13
comic book accurate or whatever. But not not that that hawk guy
02:05:17
in longer together anyway. But I just think that they can
02:05:21
do more with her if they want, and I think that that might
02:05:23
somehow having her infiltrate Hawkeyes like.
02:05:26
Which? Which hot guy?
02:05:31
That's hot. Guy you know, hot.
02:05:35
Guy. Hot guy, Hot guy.
02:05:37
Kate Bishop, get Bishop, are you done?
02:05:39
Can I? Add the hot sauce now.
02:05:46
Oh God. Pray you know who my favorite
02:05:48
is. You are, ah, all right.
02:05:50
Oh, wearing merch, though. Rocking the distance, dirtying
02:05:56
the day because didn't seal it. This time I had to arm wrestler
02:06:00
and I cheated. Very my prediction, Vowels gonna

02:07:35
I have to do that just for lucha ruins.
02:07:39
Yeah. Lucha rules, yeah.
02:07:44
So that's that's it for that, guys.
02:07:47
Now let's talk, let's talk about our nice little schedule and put
02:07:50
that on the bottom of the screen right there.
02:07:51
Ladies and gentlemen, we've got game streams from 8:00 to 12:00.
02:07:55
I thought I was gonna be done with the Star Wars Jedi
02:07:58
Survivor, and then I realized I was only 50% through.
02:08:01
So that game had oh. Hell of a lot.
02:08:04
More I spent a good hour fighting Darth Vader on on
02:08:08
Monday morning. You loved.
02:08:09
It Oh God. Vader.
02:08:11
Vader. Really hard character in the.
02:08:14
Fact that his his like fighting against him is not hard at all
02:08:17
but he I'm not sure but it's it's definitely not James Ro.
02:08:21
Jones You know what? I bet.
02:08:23
I bet that it's Sam Whitworth. No, I don't think it's the other
02:08:27
guy that used to play Chad Vader.
02:08:28
Oh, oh, cool. Exactly.
02:08:30
Will do that. Play Chad Vader.
02:08:31
He's done Bader in a bunch of video games now.
02:08:33
Oh well. I mean, yeah, that that checks
02:08:35
out, I mean. It was Unleashed, yeah.
02:08:36
He played Vader in all the Force Unleashed games.
02:08:38
Oh, nice. Yeah.
02:08:39
He's been a whip, Roy, Jason, he's a he's a step away from.
02:08:42
Right. But I mean.
02:08:44
So so Vader, if you guys didn't catch that fight, he's not hard
02:08:49
in like 1 on one fights to begin with, but like #1, he cheats
02:08:53
like really bad. I mean that's just Vader in
02:08:55
general because like he can throw shit at you.
02:08:57
He can. His lightsaber is one hit kills.
02:09:00
No. Right.
02:09:02
He hits you once you're dead, right?
02:09:05
So like that's that's the hardest part is is blocking and
02:09:08
dodging because if he hits you, you're done and you have to
02:09:10
restart from the beginning and you have to fight him like 6
02:09:12
times. Yes.
02:09:15
So it's it that's the most like he's he's actually one-on-one
02:09:18
he's actually easier than than the other dude the the other
02:09:22
Dark Jedi guy. I fought the first time Bader.
02:09:25
It's like the fight the way it is was like still kind of hard
02:09:28
but I mean outside of that yeah I mean we've we've I've done a
02:09:31
whole lot more. We found out that Bode the the
02:09:35
new character in the game, is a dumb.
02:09:37
I'm sorry, I I have not played it and I'm gonna be spoiled you.
02:09:40
Just have to like take your. Yeah.
02:09:43
I will not continue then. That's fine.
02:09:45
I will not continue, but the game is good.
02:09:48
Yeah. Oh, I'm very much aware.
02:09:51
The last hour I downloaded Street Fighter and I made my
02:09:54
character. So we're going to be getting
02:09:55
some Street Fighter going on here.
02:09:57
Pretty soon we're going to try and do a Street Fighter
02:09:59
tournament between this and snerding and and and Kyber,
02:10:02
Kyber Kid gaming. So and I've been practicing with
02:10:06
with Ryu because I'm just gonna wreck everybody's for you.
02:10:09
So. That's our game streams. 8:00 to
02:10:12
12:00 on Tuesdays. We've got the download, the show
02:10:15
you're watching right now from 6:30 typically to 8:30.
02:10:18
Of course it can go a little bit longer, like.
02:10:20
We run long. Lord.
02:10:22
And then of course Thursdays the build from 6 to 8 where we
02:10:26
interview interesting people. We I build Lego on stream and we
02:10:31
have a whole bunch of fun. This one, this Thursday
02:10:34
Brackets. And brackets.
02:10:36
Yes, yes. And the brackets.
02:10:38
We haven't done brackets for two weeks because the interviews
02:10:40
have been so damn fun that we just keep forgetting.
02:10:43
But this week's interview, we're going to be interviewing the
02:10:45
gentleman named Gage of the Wolf, who is a indie comic
02:10:49
creator. Yeah, And we're going to be
02:10:52
talking about the, his indie comic and everything like that.
02:10:55
It's gonna be a good time. And that's our sweet.
02:10:59
So of course, guys, I need your pluggables.
02:11:03
Uh, let's go ahead and start with the.
02:11:05
Spray. Hello.
02:11:06
I am spray and pray girl. So I'm both.
02:11:09
I'm praying and pray girl. Um.
02:11:11
And I'm here to tell you about what I do.
02:11:14
What I do on my personal channel, basically, is Gord
02:11:18
shorts right now. Uh.
02:11:19
But we're also. Corgis, shorts, Corgis are
02:11:23
already short. Yeah, so it made sense.
02:11:25
Anyway, so. Corgi Nevins to do and I are
02:11:29
going to are starting a new series.
02:11:31
Hopefully we'll get to take the first one this week.
02:11:33
We've been trying to ah, but it's called classified and it's
02:11:36
where you take a non D&D like fandom or franchise and we're
02:11:41
going to classify them into the different D&D classes to see
02:11:46
what kind of like party they would be in a D&D campaign.
02:11:49
So that's kind of what that's what we're starting and so
02:11:51
that'll be on my channel. Fray girl.
02:11:54
Yeah I thought it was really cool.
02:11:55
It's just a really cool concept and he's like huge D&D and I,
02:11:59
you know, you know me and all of the fandoms, I know enough to be
02:12:02
dangerous and all the fandoms and.
02:12:06
And so we just thought it would be kind of the perfect like
02:12:08
little melding of those two things.
02:12:10
And we talked about it all the time.
02:12:11
So why not just record it, right?
02:12:14
And then on Tuesdays I'm here on the download.
02:12:17
I would say 95. Percent of the time.
02:12:19
