00:06:33
Smart. Hey, what's the latest one we

00:06:35
have up right now? Is it the Olivia and Gray?

00:06:38
Uh, no. Actually the latest one we have

00:06:40
up right now is Logan Winner. Oh, local cosplay is on there.

00:06:46
The the the kid that has like what is like 300 followers.

00:06:50
Wow. Hey, the kid The Rock tweets

00:06:53
about. You know it's true.

00:06:54
The Rock has tweeted about him. The kid that has has posed with

00:06:59
every Marvel actor and Kevin Feige more than once.

00:07:02
So. Well, he's just blessed.

00:07:04
He's awesome and and it's because he has movie quality

00:07:07
cosplays and he's only like 7. Well, he's seven, I think.

00:07:11
He's 7. That's the bigger factor than I

00:07:14
mean and he has the costuming that he could be low whatever

00:07:18
he's doing well that's the whole thing is like when you.

00:07:21
Look at 7 year old, because that's the cuteness factor and

00:07:23
he would not discount you. Well like so it's it's the movie

00:07:27
quality costumes at his size, but also because he's in

00:07:31
character the entire time. So when you get a 7 year old,

00:07:34
that can be in character and be in those costumes, the kids, the

00:07:37
kids magic. Yeah, well, all kids are magic.

00:07:40
Last time we saw him. LA Comic Con in back in December

00:07:43
and he was he was a name or the Submariner and.

00:07:47
Oh yeah, I saw him at the Black Panther and yeah, premiere.

00:07:52
Yeah, yeah, he looked so cute. He won.

00:07:56
His dad made this amazing, like, what is it?

00:07:59
Megalodon Shark Jaw. It was super cool because

00:08:04
wheeled out on stage and in this throne.

00:08:06
It was great. I think.

00:08:07
Yeah, he won the the children's cosplay contest that LA Comic

00:08:11
Con. So that was awesome.

00:08:12
Yeah. He's adorbs.

00:08:13
Oh yeah, yeah, that. I mean, he's, he's adorable.

00:08:16
He's. We I'd like to say that we

00:08:19
started his career because we met him at La Comic Con the year

00:08:23
before and he was in a Deadpool out.

00:08:25
And young Ville was about to go on stage with Rob Leifeld.

00:08:28
Yeah, you know, the creator of Deadpool.

00:08:30
And we're like, hey, little dude, Rob Leifeld is about to

00:08:32
have a panel, and he wants all the Deadpools on there.

00:08:34
You know, our buddies going up. Do you want to go?

00:08:36
He's like, yeah. And his dad's like, can you get

00:08:38
a star? I'm like, yeah, come on, let's

00:08:39
go find young Phil. And, uh, he's like, what's a

00:08:42
young Phil? But, you know, that's another

00:08:43
story. But, um, let's go.

00:08:45
And the Fresno Deadpools, who like the Fresno Deadpools ended

00:08:49
up getting like a full feature on stage because yeah, I mean,

00:08:51
when you have a married couple that are both dressed as

00:08:54
Deadpool and you have a a very comic accurate lady Deadpool,

00:08:57
it's it's pretty awesome. Yes, it's cool.

00:09:07
You know that means that you're 1 degree from the rock now.

00:08:59
We got them on stage. So I'd like to say we started

00:09:02
it. I mean, we don't make all these

00:09:03
costumes and introduce them to The Rock, but I'm just saying we

00:09:06
made it. That is so true.

00:09:11
Yeah, I will use that. I will use that every day of my

00:09:15
life. SMM Gaming.

00:09:17
Bacon. Which means I'm 2 degrees from

00:09:20
everyone in Guardians of the Galaxy.

00:09:23
That's true. That's true.

00:09:24
SMM Gaming Just saying he was promised a beard.

00:09:27
Here my beard is is not as majestic as the beard that that

00:09:33

00:09:38

00:12:06
That's not, you know, it's funny.

00:12:07
Is it true James went into the geek end update without us doing

00:12:10
the transition at all? I know.

00:12:12
We got it done. No, no, no.

00:12:14
He's just like I'm. Here to get things done.

00:12:16
I don't want to hear you screaming geek and update.

00:12:18
I'm done with that. Yeah, we got to save your voice

00:12:21
for two days of con. That's you have two days of

00:12:23
cons. You know how many like panels we

00:12:25
got to do? It's true.

00:12:26
It's true. I'm gonna need you guys to

00:12:27
stretch for a second, because you know, what I realized is I

00:12:29
didn't open up the OK, you know, like.

00:12:31
Arms like arm circles. We'll do arm circles forward,

00:12:34
then arm circles backwards. And then you second up off.

00:12:39
You can't see it, but I'm doing the split as we speak, so just

00:12:43
visualize that, everybody. You're welcome.

00:12:45
Except everybody that's watching on which work you 2 and then you

00:12:48
all can actually see what's going.

00:12:50
You know, we mentioned Arc earlier or Van earlier.

00:12:53
I don't. I never know whether I call him

00:12:54
Arc or Van. Then ARC sounds like he's from

00:12:56
Dynasty. Then is his real name.

00:12:57
Arc is his stage name. So whichever one you want to do,

00:13:00
dude. But I was gonna.

00:13:02
Say I don't think he cares. He may be going to any any

00:13:07
Medford as well. He kills it every time he goes

00:13:11
to a con with us. I hope he goes.

00:13:13
That'd be awesome hanging with him.

00:13:14
For a week. I hope that he's not still not

00:13:15
in the hospital for very long. He's not.

00:13:17
He was just on the stream. I just saw him.

00:13:19
He's fine. Look, see, He's in the chat.

00:13:22
See. Arc Van Van Ark.

00:13:24
Joan Van Ark. Oh, she was like, no, that's

00:13:26
what we got a call now, Van Ark. Van Ark I think.

00:13:30
I think Joan van Ark was on, not.

00:13:31
Landing, I don't remember, anyway.

00:13:33
She was. She was on Knots Land.

00:13:35
She was originally on Dallas and that's be beard to you, Yes.

00:13:39
Not land. See, there we go.

00:13:41
That's the type of soap opera knowledge we need on this

00:13:44
podcast every single week. ARC.

00:13:47
ARC is asking if there's vendor spots.

00:13:49
You know, I am not the person to ask, but if you hit up Marina,

00:13:53
um, you can probably figure it out.

00:13:55
But it's only 5 1/2 hours, bro. Come on, let's go.

00:13:58
Stay in our room. It's OK.

00:13:59
You can have, you can sleep on my half of the bed and you can

00:14:01
share with Philippe. You can cuddle.

00:14:02
Yeah, definitely. I don't mind.

00:14:03
I don't mind. I mean, I'll cry and look at you

00:14:06
from the corner, but that's neither here nor there.

00:14:08
Like the weird creature in Insidious in the Corner.

00:14:14
Or like, pieces Flare Witch. It's weird.

00:14:18
It's the weird creature in the corner because that's where

00:14:20
James like, you know, just just where it works the best.

00:14:23
You guys have been hanging out with graveyard too long.

00:14:25
All these horror references just relax.

00:14:28
Too much beard, Too much. Fear.

00:14:30
Yeah, you know, you should beard moderation.

00:14:33
Yeah. Beard mod.

00:15:39
in fantastic work. Her being most recently appeared

00:15:42
in Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One.

00:15:45
She is also set to appear in Ridley Scott's Napoleon movie

00:15:49
with Joaquin Phoenix. I think she plays Josephine in

00:15:52
that. Really.

00:15:52
Yeah, Yeah. As of right now, nothing has

00:15:55
been confirmed in regards to casting for Fantastic War.

00:15:58
So what do you guys think? You guys feeling a little

00:16:00
fantastic about that? Absolutely.

00:16:03
Absolutely. So my tacos.

00:16:06
So so let's let's, let's go right to it.

00:16:07
Tacos on the table, right. I I don't know where to put my

00:16:11
tacos at this point because the whole thing is.

00:16:14
My tacos around the table. I think she's pretty cool.

00:16:16
I think she's gonna be amazing in it.

00:16:17
So tacos on the table. She's gonna be Sue Starm.

00:16:19
OK, go young, Phil. Thank you.

00:16:22
No, I I don't know what's going to happen with this.

00:16:24
Mainly because at this at this point there's every other week

00:16:27
there's there's casting rumors and you know, everybody's

00:16:30
speculating on what's going on with casting with Fantastic

00:16:33
Four. This is going to be the first

00:16:34
time in a long time my tacos are not on the table for this.

00:16:37
And it's mainly not because anything with her, not anything

00:16:40
on on and anything with her. I just, I don't trust all these

00:16:43
outlets right now because every other week it's a, well, this

00:16:46
person was cast Fantastic Four and then it's debunked and it's

00:16:49
like, OK, well, no, this person's cast fantastic.

00:16:51
And it's like I I I don't, I don't trust it at this point.

00:16:54
I'm gonna wait until an official announcement for anything with

00:16:57
Fantastic Four at this point, OK?

00:16:58
So where I'm coming from it from is on this is that would she be

00:17:04
good as Sue Storm since the rumors arts it is going to be

00:17:07
set in the 60s. Yeah she would because she was.

00:17:10
She played Princess Margaret in the Crown where she did the 50s

00:17:15
and the 60s. She was in it through all that

00:17:18
and she did a really good job and we know that she can look

00:17:20
that era. For that I would put tacos on

00:17:23
the table because I do think she can do the part.

00:17:25
But I mean, I kind of agree with young Phil.

00:17:28
And right now nothing is going to be signed until after this

00:17:31
strike is right. So all they have is rumors.

00:17:34
Nobody has been signed for the part.

00:17:37
Are the lawyers talking? Are the agents talking?

00:17:39
Probably. But nobody can do anything until

00:17:43
the strike is over, right? So yeah, like I said, my tacos

00:17:46
are are not on the table. Mine are not on the table just

00:17:49
because no matter if they have. It's like, Nope, she's 100%

00:17:53
totally on board. We don't know what will happen

00:17:57
until the ink dries on the contract.

00:17:59
She sucks, right? And that's The thing is that no

00:18:01
contracts are going to be signed until after the the the strike

00:18:04
anyways. Technically she's Equity because

00:18:06
she's a UK actress, so they get around it that way.

00:18:10
But the script, there's not going to be a like they're not

00:18:12
going to be shooting any because they won't be able to shoot

00:18:14
stuff right, unless they get an all English cast.

00:18:16
Or, oh, that's interesting, I didn't think about that,

00:18:18
Graveyard says. I still stand by my theory that

00:18:21
fans. Fantastic Four setup will be at

00:18:24
the end of the marvels. Yeah, I think that'll be cool.

00:18:25
OK. All right.

00:18:26
We'll see how it. OK.

00:18:29
There we go. OK.

00:18:31
I did want to say one thing about the baby group shorts.

00:18:34
Yeah, yeah, that have nothing to do with it, but kind of do.

00:18:36
OK, so graveyard. And I both really want Mojo Mojo

00:18:41
to show up for like the X-Men at some point.

00:18:43
Like really soon. And I'm thinking if they do

00:18:47
that, then they can do the X Baby shorts.

00:18:50
Oh God, that would be so cute. Y'all X Baby shorts like Little

00:18:55
baby like Betsy Braddock and Little baby Full green.

00:19:00
I meant to it. Yeah, I meant to it.

00:19:01
OK. Or.

00:19:02
More. Off topic, more Marvel rumors.

00:19:06
A new report has surfaced revealing the.

00:19:08
Possible villainous character that Emma Corin is playing in

00:19:12
Deadpool. Three Young Phil, are you

00:19:14
excited for this one? I am, uh, and I didn't know

00:19:17
where to think to go on this because I keep forgetting that

00:19:19
they're supposed to be an antagonist in this film.

00:19:21
Because this. It just seems like there's so

00:19:23
much going on with them going between everything but and let's

00:19:26
continue. Story here, Yeah, their

00:19:28
character has been kept under wraps since their character was

00:19:31
announced, but according to Movie Insider, Corin will be

00:19:35
taking on the role of Cassandra. Nova, For those of you not

00:19:39
familiar with the character Nova, this is so weird.

00:19:42
Nova is Charles Xavier's villainous twin sister who was

00:19:47
attacked by Charles in the womb only to survive with the goal of

00:19:52
getting revenge on him. What the heck?

00:19:54
This is definitely ex babies, yes.

00:19:58
She hid and didn't. This come out in Grant

00:20:00
Morrison's. Run.

00:20:01
This is a grand Morrison run. Yeah, I was gonna say that.

00:20:04
She was created by Grant Morrison and Frank quietly.

00:20:07
And she crazy. On that book was so beautiful.

00:20:11
Oh my God, sorry. Go ahead.

00:20:13
And her goal is to use her crazy powers to wipe out all the

00:20:17
mutants. At one point she was responsible

00:20:19
for the death of 16 mutants through the destruction

00:20:22
of Genosha. Uh, so this is the weirdest

00:20:25
thing. She hid for years inside her

00:20:27
brother's body before replicating his DNA scheme to

00:20:30
obtain a body of her own. So she like lived in in his head

00:20:34
or in her body? I don't know that's.

00:20:35
So weird. Yeah, it was really strange.

00:20:38
Like, I Because, like, I really, I was really into the Grant Mars

00:20:41
and Frank violently run of the X-Men.

00:20:44
And this happened and I was just like, what?

00:20:46
What now? So for me she.

00:20:49
She's gonna be really excited to be Juggernaut, right?

00:20:52
They're gonna get along swimmingly.

00:20:54
So tacos on the table guys. So with this, the story's crazy

00:20:58
enough where I could see Deadpool like going with it, so

00:21:01
I'm gonna throw my tacos on the table.

00:21:02
I I'm also gonna put my tacos on the table for this, and it's

00:21:05
mainly because Ryan Reynolds, uh, is is really.

00:21:08
Good at taking obscure X-Men characters and making them

00:21:11
relevant within these movies. It's he does a really good job

00:21:15
with this you know and and I see him doing that like bringing in

00:21:18
Cassandra Nova. Like it's such a weird

00:21:20
out-of-the-box character to do. It's it's gonna be like where

00:21:24
I'm kind of interested is where do you take this character and

00:21:28
interject them into this where it makes sense as an antagonist,

00:21:32
along with all the time travel and all the dimension hopping

00:21:36
that they're gonna be doing. Yeah, it's so weird, but OK.

00:21:38
OK, so I thought when I first saw her because like, she was

00:21:42
Princess Diana on the crown. It's gonna be crown heavy

00:21:45
episode people. But she was she's Princess

00:21:47
Diana. Young Princess Diana on the

00:21:49
crown. And I love her work.

00:21:50
She's she's an amazing actress. I've seen her and other stuff

00:21:53
too. And I thought at first I was

00:21:55
like, oh, she's gonna be quite queen.

00:21:57
She's gonna be like Emma Frost, I'mma Frost.

00:22:00
OK, yeah. I was like, that's what she's

00:22:02
gonna and that's what she's gonna be, that they've got

00:22:04
everybody else, right? It's like they've got this and

00:22:06
you know, they're talking about all these people.

00:22:08
Will they throw her in as a new face and she may become the Emma

00:22:13
Frost of the MCU? Right.

00:22:15
So like, they bring her over. I thought about that, but I

00:22:18
actually really did this Cassandra Nova thing, because

00:22:21
this thing that's got some, but that's like that they batched up

00:22:24
for that decision because that's great.

00:22:26
I mean, she's a powerful power character with no morals, so I

00:22:32
could see her and Deadpool racing to to kill the music.

00:22:36
Yeah. And that, that, that.

00:22:38
Definitely fits in line with somebody that wave would fight.

00:22:40
Yeah yeah he doesn't like to take on like you know these half

00:22:43
ass villain people. But I I just really if I still

00:22:47
am on the Matthew McFadden as Mr. Sinister train and I don't

00:22:52
know if you could do a Mr. Sinister and Cassandra Nova in

00:22:55
the same movie. But yeah I just, I'm on that

00:22:59
that you know I would love Cassandra know being that so it

00:23:01
may be that she's a she might be the villain that Sinister is

00:23:05
working with if they both are working together are on the

00:23:09
table. Yeah, my talk is around the

00:23:10
table. Sorry.

00:23:11
I'm working through a theory now.

00:23:12
I've gone into theory, you can't do that.

00:23:15
Word that. And we'll make it a short.

00:23:16
The beard. The beard is gonna get mad if

00:23:19
you start throwing your Fray theories on here, so.

00:23:22
The way theories are First Saturday morning, we don't want

00:23:28
to anger the beard. No, no, so, so it's a new

00:23:31
segment, I'm. Afraid of the beard?

00:23:33
Let's do this. Bring it on.

00:23:35
It's a new segment on on Saturday Morning Nerd Out.

00:23:38
It's called Here's Where It Gets Frazee.

00:23:42
OK, we did some MCU. Let's go over to Star Wars.

00:23:46
Now, an interesting report has surfaced from making Star Wars

00:23:49
saying that the Mandalorian season four may end up being

00:23:53
turned into a feature length film.

00:23:56
I don't know about this one. This one's interesting.

00:23:57
According to sources at Lucasfilm, there is a fear Jon

00:24:00
Favreau and Dave Filami will not be able to make two seasons of

00:24:04
Disney Plus shows that are prerequisites for Dave Filoni

00:24:08
Star Wars theatrical film. That's that's an interesting

00:24:10
bit. Yeah.

00:24:11
So, so I guess the question being floated around is if they

00:24:14
can make kind of stripped down season four, make the main story

00:24:17
of the Mandalorians 4th season into a film that will come out

00:24:21
after the Ray movie comes out. What do you guys think about

00:24:24
this one? I mean, I can see it being

00:24:26
something with that. I can see them just kind of

00:24:28
going into like a full feature for it.

00:24:29
But I I kind of don't want it. I kind of want would want

00:24:33
another season. The right Andalorian, you know

00:24:35
just as a fan is definitely something that I would want is

00:24:38
is just like another season of the show before we.

00:24:41
Have to go and say bye bye to the show and go to movies from

00:24:44
there, right? Fray Thoughts.

00:24:46
I don't know if The Mandalorian would work as a movie.

00:24:49
Well, they've already said it's it's the whole thing is ending

00:24:53
as a film, it'll culminate. Well, right.

00:24:55
But he'll be there with a lot of other character, like, it's

00:24:58
gonna be not just 10, it's not gonna be just the Mandalor, you

00:25:02
know what I mean? Like, yeah, I understand why

00:25:04
they would want to do it as a movie.

00:25:06
And it really is more about Mandalorians than it is about

00:25:10
The Mandalorian. But I.

00:25:11
I feel like its success was serialized, right.

00:25:15
Storytelling and I think they shouldn't mess with that.

00:25:18
And then when he comes to be in the movie, it's because his

00:25:23
serialized journeys are over. Because I felt like The

00:25:26
Mandalorian and half felt like the Mandalorian strengths are

00:25:30
that like almost comic book issue type serialization.

00:25:34
Like it's that story and sometimes that story is a bigger

00:25:36
story and sometimes it's self-contained.

00:25:38
And I you know, and I felt like that's really what it is.

00:25:41
So my. Tacos are not on the table for

00:25:43
this. If it does happen, I will

00:25:44
absolutely watch it in the theater and I probably love it.

00:25:47
But I just as of right now, I think the story might be too big

00:25:51
to try to condense it into, even if they went 2 1/2 hours, right?

00:25:56
I mean that's still, I think that it would just do a

00:25:58
disservice to the character that they create.

00:26:00
Totally agree. I feel like we need the the long

00:26:03
form storytelling to get like effective kind of like

00:26:06
storytelling for this character, you know, And it's, I mean my

00:26:09
tacos are on the table mainly for.

00:26:11
Or is this something that they would do, considering that Eiger

00:26:14
has been saying that he wants to go back to doing films, yeah.

00:26:18
I mean, I I get it. I'm just like.

00:26:20
It's not like again, it's not do I want it.

00:26:22
It's more is this what they're going to do.

00:26:24
And I think that it is probably going to be the route of of what

00:26:28
they're going to do. It's not you know, it's not

00:26:30
necessarily the thing that I want them to do.

00:26:32
I would prefer it to be another season.

00:26:34
I prefer to get you know five seasons of The Mandalorian and

00:26:37
then get a a movie at the end. But if they're.

00:26:41
Gonna go to the the route of canceling the last couple

00:26:44
seasons and doing 2 movies. I think that Bob Iger will.

00:26:48
I think he's gonna be like, you know, this is what's gonna make

00:26:50
more money and I think that's that he's gonna want to.

00:26:53
Go I could see that. I was also thinking what if they

00:26:55
made them like 3 episodes and it just be longer episodes.

00:27:00
Like do an hour and a half, three hour and a half episodes

00:27:04
for a shorter story or something like that, which could be more

00:27:08
economical but could also have increased viewership because.

00:27:11
People do like the longer stories, yeah.

00:27:13
I I agree that Star Wars is like the long form version of Star

00:27:17
Wars is the best version of Star Wars.

00:27:20
You know, Mandalorian and or yeah.

00:27:22
Yeah, the nitty gritty. You can see the stuff on the

00:27:25
ground, yeah. Whereas so my talk, but my tacos

00:27:28
are on the table that they're probably gonna do this because I

00:27:32
think if this is Disney, like hey, hey, Kathleen Kennedy,

00:27:34
that's great and all. Well, I mean, it is about

00:27:41
Haunted Mansion. We're still the boss, so I think

00:27:37
they're gonna come cover. OK, I have one more rumor all.

00:27:42
You laugh. It's not just that I'm I'm.

00:27:44
I love that this rumor is a thing.

00:27:47
Yeah. Because if you're if you're old

00:27:50
enough to have gone to this, you know it like this is exciting.

00:27:53
So let's. Let's get into the rumor itself,

00:27:55
all right? Director of Disney's Haunted

00:27:57
Mansion Justin seemed Simeon Demian.

00:27:59
I mean Amen has another project he'd like to develop for the

00:28:03
Mouse House. During a recent interview, the

00:28:05
filmmaker shared that he wants to adapt Michael Jackson's 80s,

00:28:10
excuse me, classic 80s movie attraction Captain EO as a

00:28:14
feature length film. So.

00:28:17
So excited for that some back story.

00:28:20
The scifi film was directed by Francis Ford Coppola and

00:28:23
produced by George Lucas, Rusty Lamoranda and all three of them

00:28:28
worked on the script for the film.

00:28:30
The film ran at Disney theme parks from 86 to 96.

00:28:34
Jackson played Captain EO. Awesome.

00:28:35
Yeah, who led a ragtag group of aliens and robots on a mission

00:28:39
to develop or to deliver. Excuse me, A special gift to an

00:28:42
evil alien queen who is portrayed by Angelica Houston.

00:28:46
We're gonna get Captain EO. I OK.

00:28:48
My tacos are on the table as much as it Yeah, like it's not

00:28:52
gonna be Michael Jackson, obviously.

00:28:54
A lot of tacos today. Oh yeah, I'm definitely I'm.

00:28:57
My tacos are on the table for this one right here.

00:29:00
I think that Disney is gonna find any excuse they can to

00:29:04
revitalize any property that they've ever had possession

00:29:07
over, as long as there's a decent enough script to do it.

00:29:10
And someone like Justin Simeon who is having all kinds of

00:29:14
success with Haunted Mansion right now, I see them doing

00:29:18
that. I see them saying, OK,

00:29:19
revitalize Captain EO. Whichever way that you need to

00:29:21
do it, obviously it's not gonna be Michael Jackson.

00:29:24
Jellica, Houston. But I mean like, you know, just

00:29:26
as long as they. Oh my God, what if they, like,

00:29:29
got Justin Bieber or something? I no, I I would.

00:29:32
I would be off. If it was Justin Bieber, I would

00:29:35
not. Wayne Brady, if you get Wayne

00:29:37
Brady. Now that he's in the news right

00:29:39
now, right? Yeah.

00:29:40
Oh, I don't know. No, nothing bad.

00:29:42
Nothing. And he can do all the dancing.

00:29:44
That man is a triple. Threat.

00:29:45
Yeah, no, that. Nothing bad.

00:29:47
Yeah, he he finally came out on UH this week.

00:29:50
As pansexual. As pansexual.

00:29:52
Yeah, Wayne Brady. Jackie was like, what do you

00:29:55
think of that? I was like, I I knew like I I

00:29:59
knew that he was LGBT. You can kind of just tell from,

00:30:02
you know, just kind of the everything about him, yeah.

00:30:04
You know, I think it's great. Yeah, it's great.

00:30:06
It's awesome. You know, just be who you are.

00:30:08
Yeah. Unless you're an asshole, don't

00:30:10
be an asshole. Right now, you mean nobody likes

00:30:12
assholes? Don't be a Dick.

00:30:13
Don't be a Dick. Don't be a Dick.

00:30:16
Uh, so yeah, I I I'm very excited for this.

00:30:18
I don't know about the rest of you guys here.

00:30:20
I forgot to start timer. Anyway, so we're gonna start

00:30:21
now. Do.

00:30:23
You think, Francis? For Coppola, we'll direct it

00:30:25
again. I don't think so.

00:30:27
You will not do. Yeah, Coppola, that's what.

00:30:30
I was going to say I wonder if Sophia Coppola would be involved

00:30:33
in this. That would be.

00:30:34
That would definitely give it a new twist.

00:30:37
Yeah, well, she. Does nothing, things like her

00:30:39
daddy does. He has a very different vision

00:30:41
from her dad. Yes, Yeah.

00:30:43
So, uh, you know, my tacos around the table.

00:30:45
I think it would be a fun, nostalgic, uh, movie to have.

00:30:48
And you know, as long as he did it right, Right.

00:30:50
Yeah, I think like what you said, young Phil, I think

00:30:52
Disney's going to find a way to revitalize some of their IP and

00:30:56
move forward with it. Especially know that knowing

00:30:58
that we don't have Michael Jackson here, right.

00:31:00
You know, they'll find a way to make it happen.

00:31:02
So it wasn't it where Star Tours was.

00:31:05
I don't know where it was. In No, the Jedi Academy.

00:31:08
Oh, OK. All right.

00:31:10
So what what is now Disney's Jedi Academy used to and.

00:31:13
And before Jedi Academy, it was the Honey, I Shrunk the The Kids

00:31:17
Like stage show. Yeah.

00:31:19
OK. All right.

00:31:20
Really. Stage show.

00:31:21
But before that it was Captain Neil got it, Got it, Yeah.

00:31:24
I never got to see it, so that'd be fun, to have this, like,

00:31:28
brought back somehow. So I'm down.

00:31:30
To see them do it and do it like in a Tron.

00:31:33
Yeah, right. Give me more.

00:31:34
Tron, Tron type of like that, kind of like someone falling

00:31:38
into it kind of things. I think it would be cool if they

00:31:42
could get like the Jackson estate to let them use his image

00:31:45
and kind of like not as a character but like cameo.

00:31:48
You know his version he captain EO in the movie.

00:31:52
MMM, maybe they could just, like, put him on money or

00:31:54
something. Right, I know, right?

00:31:55
Yeah. Be kind of cool or like a

00:31:57
picture of him or something like.

00:31:58
Just something. Our old commander or something.

00:32:01
Our old captain. I don't know.

00:32:02
I'm just like spit ballinger people.

00:32:04
I think we need to go to the download.

00:32:05
I like it. Download it up.

00:32:07
Download it up because guys, it is now time.

00:32:15
Not to be confused with The Upload, that's something totally

00:32:18
different. I can get down with the Upload

00:32:20
all right. In snootchy news, Kevin Smith

00:32:23
has been preparing to shoot his next film project, the 4:30

00:32:27
movie, and he got permission to shoot the film during the actor

00:32:30
strike Smith up. Uh Smith applied for a waiver

00:32:34
and he was approved due to the fact that film is an independent

00:32:37
production and the script was completed.

00:32:39
So kind of cool we're still getting films made, especially

00:32:42
by you know, big names like Kevin Smith.

00:32:44
He. Saying that the movie itself is

00:32:46
like under 50 and that like hits the, uh the criteria of to

00:32:52
make the movie MMM. Yeah, I have.

00:32:54
I think it's like a, it's like less than a million or

00:32:56
something. As long as it's less than a

00:32:58
million, they can they can get a waiver to see if they can, they

00:33:01
can do it. Oh, interesting.

00:33:02
OK, cool. I do have kind of a snoochy

00:33:04
boochy opposite synopsis. Kind of a Snooty, boochy,

00:33:07
opposite synopsis, Snitchy, bitchy synopsis.

00:33:12
Austin's Adger takes on the lead role, and the story centers on a

00:33:17
group of teens in the 1980s who pay to get into one movie and

00:33:22
spend the day theater hopping. So did you guys theater hop when

00:33:25
you were? Oh yeah.

00:33:26
It absolutely did. All neither.

00:33:29
I will neither confirm nor die if I've ever done that anything

00:33:32
like that in my entire lives. I will confirm.

00:33:34
Or can I? If I did that recently, uh, I

00:33:37
want to do that every time I go to the theater.

00:33:39
I don't know why. I know.

00:33:40
Just like oh, OK, I'm just gonna walk into.

00:33:42
This one. Sometimes I want to stay and

00:33:44
watch a second showing of the film.

00:33:46
Oh, like watch the same movie over again.

00:33:48
Yeah, I could see that. OK All right.

00:33:50
OK, All right. I got.

00:33:52
That was some good movie news, but I have some cringy movie

00:33:55
news. All right, This.

00:33:57
Warner cringy movie, It's kind of This is an out and out LA.

00:34:02
So Warner Brothers Discovery execs reported on Thursday

00:34:06
during their Q2 earnings call that the SAG, after a strike

00:34:10
that has been ongoing over the summer has save the company

00:34:13
somewhere in the low $100 million range.

00:34:17
It just feels weird to like, hey guys, we saved $100 million

00:34:21
thanks to this strike. We saved $100 million thanks to

00:34:24
not making any films. I know, yeah, We haven't made

00:34:27
any films and we haven't paid any people, so of course we're

00:34:31
gonna make money. But that doesn't mean I down the

00:34:34
line in the fourth quarter that you guys aren't gonna be.

00:34:38
I'm trying to suck that money. Stupid bullshit.

00:34:41
I'm sorry, I. Hate this dumb shit with these

00:34:44
executives who are putting profits over people.

00:34:47
And it's like we save this much money and it doesn't matter,

00:34:50
dude. Like the whole point is that the

00:34:52
whole point in the studio system was for entertainment, you know?

00:34:55
And like back in the day, it was about taking care of the actors

00:34:59
and the people who made the films that made you money S that

00:35:02
you can continue making films. And now it's like we need to

00:35:05
make people money and we need to make more money for ourselves.

00:35:08
And David Zaslov is gonna go and make 60 mil.

00:35:11
Go and buy a 60. $1000 house or or $60 million house when

00:35:15
everybody else can't make any money do.

00:35:17
I'm sorry. Fuck you yeah their their

00:35:20
bonuses, like the CEO bonuses alone could pay for so many

00:35:25
salaries it's crazy. They say like, one CEO's bonus.

00:35:28
Yeah, just one. Not like all of them.

00:35:31
Just one which. Means that all the CEO's could

00:35:35
half their bonuses and then they would be able to pay for all.

00:35:38
Of but they don't want that. They don't want that.

00:35:41
They want money. They don't care.

00:35:42
That these people can't afford an apartment in LA and have to

00:35:46
work extra jobs. It's it's it's dumb and it

00:35:49
really does piss me off. And Eiger pisses me off with his

00:35:53
whole holdout until they start losing their homes.

00:35:55
Fucking yeah, it's silly. I do have a quote from Zaz Lab,

00:35:59
So CEO David Zaslav of Warner Brothers.

00:36:01
We're in the business of stories fully trying.

00:36:03
To pull out the robot voice again.

00:36:07
It's a long. One business of storytelling,

00:36:10
our mole, is to tell great story stories with the power to

00:36:14
entertain and when we're at our best, inspire the stories that

00:36:20
come to life on screens big and small.

00:36:23
We cannot do any of that without the entirety of the creative

00:36:27
community, the great creative community, without the writers,

00:36:31
directors. Editors, producers, actors, the

00:36:34
whole below the line crew. Our job is to enable the empower

00:36:38
them to do their best work. We're hopeful that all sides

00:36:42
will get back to the negotiating room soon, and that these

00:36:46
strikes get resolved in a way that the writers and actors feel

00:36:51
they are fairly compensated and their efforts and contributions

00:36:55
are fully valued. Ah, good job.

00:36:59
I'm sorry, uh, And and that line that he this entire thing that

00:37:04
he just said is complete horseshit.

00:37:06
I'm sorry, he does not. He does not believe that at all.

00:37:09
Because if he believed it, he would have.

00:37:10
He would have conceded a long time ago.

00:37:12
Yep, they don't care. Yeah, it's a total like spin,

00:37:14
like something just for the for the press version.

00:37:16
They're like, gosh, guys, we're just having the best time ever.

00:37:19
We're going on vacations. We're we're saving so much money

00:37:23
now. And it's like, no, you're not

00:37:25
spending any money, which means later on, you guys.

00:37:28
Are gonna be hurting for it. So don't we're in the.

00:37:30
Storytelling. And we can't do this without all

00:37:33
the people. And we hope that that that all

00:37:36
sides come back to negotiating soon so we can get back to doing

00:37:39
what we love. Zazlov, you're a Dick bag, dude.

00:37:41
We know you watch the shows as law.

00:37:44
It doesn't matter because at this point, if if I ever became

00:37:47
an actor, I would be blacklisted at Warner Brothers because of

00:37:50
all the all the shit I'm saying about David Zazlov right now.

00:37:53
He may watch it. It's free.

00:37:54
If I look at that free content, I know.

00:37:56
All right, let's jump to the next story.

00:37:58
Love you. Yeah.

00:37:58
Well, James, Good. I love the guy, guys.

00:38:00
He's called Erity. You know, it's it's it's it's

00:38:03
bullshit, All right? Ready for this next one?

00:38:06
This one's kind of interesting. So, a potential twist in the

00:38:10
various strike situations. The employees that make up

00:38:14
Marvel's VFX crews have been decided to unionize with the

00:38:19
National Labor Relations Board, and they have chosen to be

00:38:22
represented by Ayazi. Wow.

00:38:25
Yeah, that's like Ayazi. That's like why?

00:38:28
Can't say what I think it's really like, but that's like

00:38:30
hard hitting. They like, really go after.

00:38:34
Yeah. So positions such as production

00:38:37
designers, art directors, camera operators, sound editors, hair

00:38:40
and makeup artists, costumes, wardrobe scripts, supervisors,

00:38:43
grips, lighting props and painters long have been

00:38:46
represented by Ayazi in the film and television.

00:38:48
But workers and VFX classification historically have

00:38:52
not. Which if you think about it, you

00:38:53
know, VFX artists, you know, I think the last, like negotiation

00:38:58
was so long ago. But then, you know, VFX is in

00:39:01
the, you know, kind of fairly new 30 years ish, you know, and

00:39:04
they haven't really or maybe 40 years and they haven't really

00:39:07
gone back to it. So the Ayati president, Matthew

00:39:10
Loeb said the about the filing. We are witnessing an

00:39:13
unprecedented wave of solidarily solidarity that's breaking down

00:39:17
old barriers in the industry and proving we're all in this fight

00:39:21
together. That doesn't happen in a vacuum.

00:39:24
Super interesting Entertainment workers everywhere are sticking

00:39:27
up for each other's rights. That's what our movement is all

00:39:30
about. I congratulate these workers on

00:39:32
taking this important step and using their collective voice.

00:39:36
So just think about that. You know, the CEO's, these huge

00:39:39
corporations in the industry, they were just getting hit on

00:39:42
every front. Writers, actors now, VFX artist,

00:39:46
dude, it's all over the place. That's.

00:39:48
The thing is, is that because they're, you know, they're

00:39:51
they're talking about how much money that they're saving and

00:39:53
how much money that they're getting and making all this

00:39:54
other stuff, making these bonuses, it's like all the

00:39:57
people at the top. It's I, I said I said it in our

00:39:59
chat the other day. You know the chickens are coming

00:40:01
to roost like you. You're you guys are feeding in

00:40:04
on all of this money and not giving it to the people who are

00:40:07
doing everything for you. You're trying to find your ways

00:40:10
to be cheap about everything, and it's like you're not going

00:40:13
to get away with it. At this point it's it's you

00:40:15
either make all the money and no longer ever put out a property

00:40:19
or any kind of IP ever, or you pay people what they deserve to

00:40:22
be paid. Yeah, yeah.

00:40:23
And we talked about this like with, say, like video game

00:40:27
creators and how there's that crunch culture.

00:40:29
Yeah, right. It's kind of the same thing.

00:40:31
So the union said this marks the first time VFX professionals

00:40:35
have joined together to demand the same rights and protections

00:40:38
as their unionized colleagues in the film industry.

00:40:41
VFX coordinator Bella Huffman highlighted some of the issues

00:40:45
for VFX workers. Turn around times don't apply to

00:40:47
us. Protected hours don't apply to

00:40:49
us. Pay equity.

00:40:50
Pay equity doesn't apply to us. Visual effects must become a

00:40:54
sustainable and safe department for everyone who suffered far

00:40:57
too long, for all newcomers who need to know they won't be

00:41:00
exploited. It's 100% because, I mean, like,

00:41:03
you really think about it, like at this point in time where

00:41:06
movies are going without VFX, you're not doing shit.

00:41:10
Yeah. You know, I'm actually curious.

00:41:13
I'm gonna have to text him. But I'm actually curious what

00:41:16
Curtis Corona has to say about this.

00:41:18
Yeah. Interesting.

00:41:19
You know, I mean, I think that the exact kind of has started to

00:41:23
do this to themselves. Yeah, you know, they're just,

00:41:27
it's all these horror stories. You know what movie will

00:41:30
probably need the FX? A lot.

00:41:33
Tell me. Wonder Woman 3 Oh, let's talk

00:41:36
about it. Let's switch it up.

00:41:38
Let's talk about. I love that.

00:41:39
That's a really good transition. All right.

00:41:43
It's sort of a rumor, but the source is key.

00:41:46
We threw the Lasso of Truth around.

00:41:48
Gal could OK this. No, I'm not reading that.

00:41:50
No, that's not good. She's not liking your joke,

00:41:53
James. All right, break up your own.

00:41:55
That's fine. Look, yeah, basically what

00:41:57
happened was Gal Gadot said that they were working on it.

00:42:00
All righty. So let's talk about it.

00:42:02
And you know what, Gal Gadot, she don't lie.

00:42:04
Maybe she does. I don't know.

00:42:05
I don't know her personally. Gal Gadot, come on the show.

00:42:09
Right, The future of Galcado's Wonder Woman in the DCU has been

00:42:13
pretty unclear since James Gunn and Peter Safran took over.

00:42:17
So Gunn did confirm that Gadot is still on the on board to play

00:42:21
Wonder Woman, but also admitted that he's not sure what to do

00:42:24
with her yet. So while promoting her upcoming

00:42:27
Netflix action movie Heart of Stone, which I do want to see,

00:42:31
it looks that looks really cool, the actors told CB Comic comic

00:42:35
book, what's CB? Yeah, comic book.

00:42:36
OK, that she will be developing Wonder.

00:42:39
Woman three with gun and saffron, she said.

00:42:41
I love portraying Wonder Woman. It's so close to and dear to my

00:42:45
heart. From what I heard from James and

00:42:47
from Peter is that we're going, we're gonna develop a Wonder

00:42:51
Woman Three together. No word on when Gal will filming

00:42:54
filming. No, we'll be firing up her

00:42:55
invisible jet. Yeah, that one invisible jet at

00:42:58
the end. No.

00:42:59
OK. You don't fire up, and you might

00:43:02
gas up an invisible jet. Fire up using gas.

00:43:05
James, we'll just talk. You're using gas and actually.

00:43:09
It's just and and it's just, yeah, the invisible jet using

00:43:13
jet fuel is just, you know, contributing to global warming.

00:43:17
Real quick before, just just jump back in the last story.

00:43:19
Curtis Corona. Yeah, Curtis Corona gave us a

00:43:22
statement. Wait, why?

00:43:23
Why are you messaging Curtis Crode?

00:43:25
Because he is a he's. A VFX supervisor.

00:43:28
Thank you. OK, so his movies such as.

00:43:33
Everything good? He did everything that looks

00:43:39
good. There's a lot of movies that

00:43:40
were not good that he also did not like, and he said on the

00:43:44
show that he did not like these movies that he worked on.

00:43:47
But you worked a lot with maximum effort.

00:43:49
He does a lot of maximum effort now.

00:43:52
Um, but project You worked on just this League Snedder cut.

00:43:57
He worked on everybody's favorite X-Men Movie, Dark

00:43:59
Phoenix. So he's got a resume.

00:44:01
He worked. On a what was the?

00:44:04
Legit E got. Credit Where was the movie that

00:44:07
where the dude's name was Ryan Reynolds and he played a guy

00:44:10
named Guy? Oh, oh, oh, free guy.

00:44:13
Free guy, Free guy. He did the VI VFX free guy.

00:44:15
Which is a double thing. Yeah.

00:44:17
Free guy. Get a free guy because you know

00:44:19
video game, right? Also, you want a free.

00:44:22
Oh, he OK, so he actually gave us a full statement here.

00:44:24
So he said, yeah, it's great news.

00:44:26
It's long overdue. Now it's just a little waiting

00:44:29
game while Marvel decides if they come to the table or or if

00:44:32
they force the crews to strike. Yeah, I just really, I mean.

00:44:36
But I mean like this is getting. Bad out.

00:44:38
There, yeah. This is a guy that's on the

00:44:39
inside, right. I mean like you know, he, he

00:44:41
actually does this, right. He's actually part of BFX.

00:44:43
Cruz, he's supervisor on most of these crews and especially on

00:44:47
like you know on large scale movies, he's done things on.

00:44:50
He worked on Stranger Things. Cool.

00:44:52
Yeah. You know, I yeah, that's great.

00:44:54
I think it's a great statement too.

00:44:56
I think he, you know, he he kept it as non political as possible.

00:44:59
So you know, and that's what you got to.

00:45:01
Do yeah. But I mean like he's saying it's

00:45:03
a good thing and again that not his opinion but in my opinion

00:45:07
it's it's kind of well I guess it is his opinion it's long

00:45:09
overdue it's something that that these crews who have been

00:45:12
putting up with a lot for the longest time um you know they're

00:45:16
finally gonna get their just due you know so but let's continue

00:45:19
with Wonder Woman just because I got the statement halfway

00:45:21
through while we. Talking here.

00:45:22
So no, I was done. I think we wrapped it with

00:45:24
Wonder Woman and. I mean, yeah, I think it's gonna

00:45:27
be cool. I hope they do it.

00:45:29
I mean, they could do a lot of stuff with her.

00:45:31
I, you know, it's cool that they're doing, uh, 1/3.

00:45:34
She can be Wonder Woman in any universe.

00:45:37
Yeah, I mean that. Truly that can that.

00:45:40
That's it. I mean, they could use her, you

00:45:42
know, coming out. They could even do like Apalada

00:45:45
was really the one. She could become Apollata if

00:45:47
they go younger, you know, It really just depends on what they

00:45:50
want to do. I don't think she will.

00:45:52
Become Apolida. Because if she does Wonder Woman

00:45:54
Three, she that probably means that she's gonna be in there.

00:45:57
But I just, you know, it's one of those things where I think we

00:45:59
could see other stories of her in the newer universe that gun

00:46:04
and saffron are creating and that she actually fits in with

00:46:08
that. Like, she's a Wonder Woman that

00:46:09
could fit in anywhere, but she's eternal.

00:46:12
Almost. So yeah.

00:46:13
And I think enough has happened where it's like, people are just

00:46:16
gonna like people are used to like, OK, they're just gonna

00:46:18
cherry pick what they like, what they don't like.

00:46:19
And everybody likes Gal Gadot. So we're all just gonna take it

00:46:22
and keep going. So, yeah, OK, we're good.

00:46:24
OK. Anything.

00:46:25
Anything else? He did send another followup on

00:46:28
that, so he said. But also, oh God, this Curtis

00:46:30
always stealing. This.

00:46:33
No matter the outcome at Marvel, there's a long road to go.

00:46:37
There's just one studio and that that's just one studio in the

00:46:39
game. More and more will follow suit

00:46:41
in the coming weeks and months. So it looks like that the

00:46:44
negotiating for Riotsi is is really just the Marvel Studios,

00:46:48
right? That.

00:46:49
But he's saying that it's gonna start trickling over because

00:46:52
once they get their rights and and like if it all works out for

00:46:55
them, then that means other VFX studios are going to be

00:46:58
following suit, which again is necessary something the same.

00:47:01
Look at him jumping on a bandwagon in.

00:47:03
Go back to filming Dark Phoenix 2.

00:47:07
Sorry Sir, he's currently feeling Deadpool 3.

00:47:09
All right, OK, Putin, time for some Harley news.

00:47:14
The Harley Quinn animated series has proven to be a big hit with

00:47:17
fans and they seem to have been enjoying the 4th season which

00:47:21
launched on HBO Max or Max last month.

00:47:24
The big question is on the minds of fans.

00:47:26
Will we see Season 5? During a recent in interview

00:47:30
with inverse, Harley Quinn, producers Cecilia Aronovit.

00:47:33
Which Hamilton and Ian Hamilton talked about the future of DC

00:47:36
enemies maybe. And fortune maybe.

00:47:39
Or brother and sister or Siamese twins.

00:47:42
I don't know. Maybe.

00:47:42
Maybe Cecilia is living in the brain of Ian like maybe good

00:47:47
like Charles, all that good. The back.

00:47:51
The bad news is, is that Max has not greenlit a new season.

00:47:56
So we're like into the 4th season waiting to hear.

00:47:59
I don't know if we're gonna get a fifth season of of Harley

00:48:02
Quinn, I think. I mean, did we expect it to go

00:48:05
Four Seasons? No, I there was a chance.

00:48:10
So most people didn't think it was gonna go past the 1st and

00:48:13
now we're at Four Seasons, so yeah.

00:48:07
It wasn't even get three seasons and we managed to get.

00:48:15
I mean, they might just do a fifth one because they can do

00:48:18
one. Let's do it.

00:48:18
Why not? Let's make it happen.

00:48:20
All right. Let's keep it going, though.

00:48:21
Uh. Some dead.

00:48:22
Living. Dead.

00:48:23
Alive again. News.

00:48:25
We what? What the George A Romero Estate

00:48:28
is set to produce Romero's final zombie movie, Where's Where's

00:48:33
Grave? Now titled Twilight of the Dead,

00:48:35
they've teamed up with LA based feat Finance Year Finance Year

00:48:39
Producer Roundtable on the project, which is the 7th and

00:48:43
final installment of Romero's Living Dead franchise A.

00:48:47
I didn't know that that pizza companies were making movies,

00:48:50
right? Well, you know, hey, there's a

00:48:52
lot of money. There's a lot of cheese going

00:48:53
around. Holly.

00:48:54
You would these days. Romero Bro.

00:48:57
Romero wrote in Treatments Before You Would Passed Away in

00:49:03
2017, and he regarded Twilight of the Dead as the conclusion of

00:49:07
his epic saga. The script where the film was

00:49:10
completed by Joe Kettner, Rob Lucas and Paolo Zalatti, who all

00:49:15
also worked with Romero on the original treatment.

00:49:18
Kind of cool. Are you OK with with somebody

00:49:20
picking up where George A Romero left off?

00:49:23
I would be OK with somebody picking up with George Romero.

00:49:26
Legacy. As long as it's somebody who has

00:49:28
a similar directing style, you know, like, I wouldn't want it

00:49:32
to be like something that's completely off the rails for

00:49:35
what Romero has done in the past.

00:49:36
Gotta remember, George Romero created this not Tommy genre.

00:49:40
Yeah, that's. True.

00:49:40
Who would you like? Who do you think?

00:49:42
What? Like, what directors out there

00:49:44
do you think could do something like that?

00:49:46
Obviously not James Gunn, because he's tied up.

00:49:48
No. I think he might be able to.

00:49:50
Do you know? No.

00:49:51
No. No, because again, it's a

00:49:52
completely different style like James Gunn has.

00:49:55
I love James Gunn style, but it's very different from George

00:49:59
Romero. George Romero's got kind of more

00:50:00
of like a somber style, I guess. I guess depending on on the take

00:50:06
and how he does it, because he kind of tends to do action

00:50:09
movies too would be I kind of would go.

00:50:12
Towards yet more del Toro. But like if it wasn't like now,

00:50:16
as long as he's not trying to like bringing, like bring in

00:50:18
like fantastical, imaginative monsters.

00:50:20
Like if he did something that was, that would be hard to do.

00:50:23
Yeah, yeah, for him, like he his directorial style is very

00:50:28
similar, but he also likes to bring in these crazy monsters

00:50:31
and unless the script calls for it, I wouldn't want to do you

00:50:34
know, something with like that, you know?

00:50:35
I mean, I. Wouldn't mind seeing somebody

00:50:37
like UH, Jordan Peele or uh, look at you.

00:50:41
That's smart. Or I was gonna say or even like

00:50:44
if Robert Rodriguez wanted to collaborate with someone on,

00:50:47
because I think he could like Robert Rdis, although not very

00:50:50
horror like genre wise, but he's more action.

00:50:53
Yeah, but he's got that like subtleness.

00:50:55
Yeah, that Sometimes that like that need to be Ramirez.

00:50:59
From dusk till dawn, he did. That's still done.

00:51:01
That was one of his. Yeah.

00:51:03
So I do have a living OPS is dead synopsis.

00:51:06
Living OPS is dead. Synopsis The story is set on a

00:51:14
tropical island and will delve into the dark nature of humanity

00:51:18
from the perspective of the last humans on earth who are caught

00:51:22
between factions of the undead. The film is also described as a

00:51:26
thought provoking socio political commentary rap in a

00:51:30
genre piece. Interesting.

00:51:32
Like I said, it's it's, it'll be interesting to see like who

00:51:34
picks up on this, right? Or, I mean, I would be fine with

00:51:37
like, you know, a newer director as long as they're able to kind

00:51:40
of like pick up on the style. I mean, Twilight of the Dead is

00:51:43
looking to start shooting in late 2023 in Puerto Rico.

00:51:48
Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico.

00:51:50
Whoa. Puerto Rico whoa.

00:51:55
OK, Warriors, come out and play. I need bottles on my fingers,

00:52:05
like right now. Lin Manuel Miranda is set to

00:52:09
delve us into a stage musical adaption of The Warriors, which

00:52:14
is based on the Soul Urich's 1965 novel.

00:52:18
The book was adapted into the cult classic 1979 film directed

00:52:22
by Walter Hill, which is what most people are familiar with.

00:52:25
Lin Manuel doing a Guess? You know another New York piece,

00:52:31
are we? OK with That's cool.

00:52:32
Yeah, I actually think he could do that.

00:52:34
I would, you know, if he were gonna take a cult classic movie

00:52:37
and make it into a musical. This is the one I would want to

00:52:40
see him do. Yeah, totally.

00:52:42
I to be honest, I mean, honestly, I like what else is he

00:52:44
gonna do? Like make Jaws outside Jaws.

00:52:47
Jaws will be a musical. Yeah, I mean, seriously, it's

00:52:52
like, you know, there aren't that many cult classes, but cult

00:52:56
classic hits that you can. Do as a stage musical.

00:53:00
That actually makes sense. It'll make see what they could

00:53:02
be a. Good stage.

00:53:04
Me. It'll be interesting to see how

00:53:06
how he does the film in general, just because, yeah, I mean you

00:53:09
know, he did Boyle Heights, uh, or Washington Heights was it

00:53:13
right. You know he's he's really good

00:53:15
at writing hiphop theme musicals.

00:53:17
I think that you can either you can make it take place in the

00:53:21
80s or you can make it taste take place in the 90s.

00:53:23
I think. I think if you updated the

00:53:24
Warriors it would be good in the mid 80s.

00:53:27
Yeah, I can see that, you know, had some hiphop.

00:53:30
I would like to see. I mean, if they don't update it,

00:53:33
I'd like to see him delve a little bit more into like rock

00:53:36
like that. Almost a rock opera for it.

00:53:38
Yeah, I think that would be really cool.

00:53:40
But but I could see Hiphop with it.

00:53:42
I think that might actually be really neat.

00:53:43
I mean, keep in mind. Boy band style, he did, he did

00:53:46
in Kanto, he did uh, Moana. So it's not just gonna be hiphop

00:53:51
so. No, but I'm just saying like

00:53:53
just kind of like cuz the Warriors in itself has that.

00:53:57
Like the movie? Itself has deep roots in the

00:53:59
hiphop community, right? So I mean, like the hill or the

00:54:01
hiphop community has a lot of kind of like culture around this

00:54:06
movie. So to kind of like update it and

00:54:08
make it where a movie that influenced hiphop culture, you

00:54:11
kind of reverse that and do hiphop influence in an updated

00:54:15
version of the movie. Yeah.

00:54:17
And it's kind of homage, like kind of call back to something

00:54:20
that inspired the hiphop culture, you know what I mean?

00:54:22
You know, and I think actually I think that that would be great

00:54:24
because I would love to see something like that and I

00:54:26
totally. Press Lin Manuel Marie to figure

00:54:29
out what's gonna what music that show me like what it needs like

00:54:33
what that actual what are they like by the story they're

00:54:36
telling? The music's gonna help tell that

00:54:39
so he'll figure out what music is gonna best tell that story,

00:54:42
right? All right.

00:54:43
They get they do have a warrior obsess.

00:54:46
Warrior. Obsess come out and play in the

00:54:55
film, a turf battle between New York City street gangs that

00:54:58
rages from Coney Island to the Bronx.

00:55:01
The Warriors are mistakenly fingered for the killing of a

00:55:04
gang leader. Soon they have every gang in the

00:55:07
city out to get revenge, and they must make their way across

00:55:10
the city to their own turf. Interesting.

00:55:14
So if you ever want to see the original, it is streaming on

00:55:18
Paramount. Plus, Nice.

00:55:20
All right, Hooray. You want to take the.

00:55:21
Next one like to take the next one.

00:55:23
You know. Yeah, we know.

00:55:25
We know she wants to is you're a Barbie girl and I'm a Barbie

00:55:28
girl. Yes, in a Barbie.

00:55:29
And that is the background for my iPad that.

00:55:32
Picture that exact picture. Nice.

00:55:33
Yes, that exact picture, because I love that.

00:55:36
All right. In Billion Dollar Bobby News.

00:55:41
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Barbie has hit the mega

00:55:46
milestone that it's been boys to run into for a couple of weeks

00:55:50
now and it's like it's only been 17 days, 17 days.

00:55:54
That's like less than three weeks.

00:55:56
It is made a billion dollars in less than three weeks.

00:55:59
Hey, your actors. Hey, you're right.

00:56:02
OK, right. That's amazing.

00:56:03
Yeah, the movie has made 459 million in North America and 572

00:56:10
million international. That's like pretty close because

00:56:12
normally what North America, it's at least what, 200,

00:56:17
right? A different differential, like

00:56:19
it's either 200 more, 200 less. And in this it's like super

00:56:23
close, right? So this news officially makes

00:56:27
director Greta Gerwig the first ever solo.

00:56:31
I'd like to take female out of that, but they did say female

00:56:33
filmmaker with a billion dollar film.

00:56:35
Well, I mean, it's true, though. She's the first old female

00:56:39
director, that is. Across the billion dollars.

00:56:42
And it's just, it is a milestone.

00:56:44
Uh, you know it. Yeah, it should just be that

00:56:47
she's punched in with other directors.

00:56:49
But I mean it is a milestone, just more so because she's able

00:56:52
to do it. I'm sorry.

00:56:52
I'm starting to mansplain. I gotta stop.

00:56:54
I was just gonna let you go until you were yourself out.

00:56:57
No. No, I I realized I was like, if

00:56:59
I say anymore, it's going to get into man's point in territory.

00:57:02
So let me just just back off. I'm gonna go.

00:57:04
Hey Ken, let me talk for a minute.

00:57:07
Well, the the other three movies were Frozen, Frozen 2, and

00:57:11
Captain Marvel. I didn't realize Captain Marvel

00:57:13
was a billion dollar movie. Yeah.

00:57:14
Yeah, I was really shocked about that too.

00:57:16
Like I had seen something on that that it had, and I think

00:57:19
it's great. That's one of those that I think

00:57:20
it did better internationally than it did in the US And I

00:57:24
think that's probably why we know that Barbie is hitting the

00:57:26
coveted Barbie hitting the coveting BA Coveted milestone.

00:57:31
Sorry, that was me. Glitching.

00:57:32
Uh, just 17 days after release. Uh, becoming the fastest.

00:57:37
Warner Brothers Warner Bros release and 8th in the studio's

00:57:41
100 year history to join the one bill $1 billion glove.

00:57:47
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 previously held

00:57:51
that record at 19 days. You.

00:57:53
It did even better than Harry Potter.

00:57:56
Yeah, that's nuts. Yeah, You know why?

00:57:58
Because there's a you're a wizard.

00:58:00
Barbie. Barbie.

00:58:02
OK, you're right. I'm telling you, there are Harry

00:58:05
Potter Barbie. Oh yeah, no, we know that.

00:58:07
That's. That's one.

00:58:07
Percent true. But I mean, like, OK, so this

00:58:10
movie, it's funny how, like, you know, there's a whole ecosystem

00:58:14
that is sitting there saying it's the worst movie ever.

00:58:17
And it's such a terrible movie and it's gonna show.

00:58:19
It's like, yeah, no, it crossed a billion dollars in 17 days.

00:58:22
It's not a terrible movie because audiences agree it's not

00:58:25
a terrible movie. Yeah, they're like there are

00:58:28
people that are just normal everyday people, like dads of

00:58:33
people and stuff that just rave about that are talking about.

00:58:35
It's the best movie. It's better than.

00:58:37
The Godfather. Like that kind of stuff.

00:58:39
And I'm like, you know guys come on let's, you know first of all

00:58:41
let's calm down here. Let's not compare The Godfather

00:58:44
to bark. Two totally different moves.

00:58:45
Yeah. Totally different genres.

00:58:48
Not compare them at all. But yeah it's it's crazy how how

00:58:52
it did I feel like it's lightning in a bottle.

00:58:54
I don't yeah. Total.

00:58:55
If they did like if they followed this with like a

00:58:57
Monster High you know movie or you know whatever like new.

00:59:01
Yeah. Some other dolls like the

00:59:03
American Girls dolls movie or whatever.

00:59:05
Wellness SNL did that already, so I can't do that.

00:59:08
And there's a Monster High movie on Peacock if you want to go

00:59:10
watch it. I mean, not that I have kids

00:59:11
that like Monster High. I'm just.

00:59:14
Gonna know. Do you understand?

00:59:16
I'm saying like, yeah, if they did it again, I don't know how,

00:59:18
how well it would be. If it would be received as well,

00:59:21
it would be compared to Barbie and I think he might hurt it.

00:59:24
So if you think about it from like a like a toy perspective,

00:59:28
you know, like Transformers had a movie this year team and he's

00:59:31
about to have a movie this year. Like they didn't cross a billion

00:59:36
dollars. I mean, maybe they could.

00:59:38
The cool thing about it, she wasn't another property before.

00:59:42
She was a doll. She was a toy first, then a

00:59:46
brand, then had animated then, you know, I mean, it's like it

00:59:49
was that kind of thing. So it wasn't that.

00:59:52
Oh, she was in a video game, so now she's in a her own movie.

00:59:55
Oh, she was in a comic book and now she's in her own.

00:59:57
This is that weird pop culture phenomenon, right of we're

01:00:01
taking a toy and we're giving it human.

01:00:04
Emotions because it looks like a human anyway.

01:00:07
We're giving it human emotions and experiences and we're

01:00:10
changing it for the rest of its unnatural life or whatever.

01:00:13
So and it just it's a really I it's it's actually one of my

01:00:17
favorite movies I have ever seen.

01:00:19
Yeah till this day. Like I and I have seen almost

01:00:22
5000 movies in my lifetime and this is one of my favorites.

01:00:26
I think about it this way. Like, like, where did this come

01:00:28
from? How does it do so well?

01:00:29
Like we literally have multiple generations built on Barbie, you

01:00:34
know? Mothers and daughters and

01:00:36
grandmothers, you know, have all grown up with Barbie.

01:00:39
Like my kids watch Barbie stuff that's on Netflix.

01:00:43
You know, we have like all the animated stuff.

01:00:45
There's all. There be dream houses in my

01:00:47
office because, you know, who needs an office for work?

01:00:49
They're for dream houses. And yeah, that's what we have,

01:00:52
you know, so. I think part of the painters

01:00:54
come to paint the room paint. Exactly.

01:00:57
I think part of the the success in this movie too is is not that

01:01:00
it's just a toy property, like it's not just a movie based on

01:01:04
a. Way it's very meta, right.

01:01:06
It's something that is not just a movie based on a toy, but it's

01:01:10
also a commentary on just kind of like, yeah, ID in general,

01:01:13
right. Like I think that that's a very

01:01:14
smart move on both Greta Gerwig and and Margot Robbie.

01:01:20
Margot Robbie, you know, cuz Margot Robbie actually had a had

01:01:22
a big hand in developing the character.

01:01:24
So it's kind of like, I think it's a smart move on the two of

01:01:27
them to create a film that was a meta narrative rather than

01:01:31
something that was just a direct adaptation of Toy.

01:01:33
Yeah, Well, did you guys both get to see my UH review on

01:01:37
Saturday? I haven't because when you said

01:01:39
meeting I haven't posted yet. Yes.

01:01:40
No, the review on On the Nerd Out.

01:01:42
On Oh no, they did it for my nerd out.

01:01:44
Oh OK, so I spent. I always did a 6 minute review

01:01:47
on it. I'm not going to do that

01:01:48
tonight, but I will. I'll tell you.

01:01:50
So my the basic conclusion I had for this.

01:01:53
Have you guys seen it, Seen the movie?

01:01:55
I have. Not yet.

01:01:56
I think let's see it soon as Jackie was saying one to see, I

01:01:59
think you should because like what I've seen is that it's not

01:02:03
it doesn't just crossover with the with the older women to

01:02:06
their daughters to their granddaughters maybe it also has

01:02:10
been very significant to men and so and that's what I think also

01:02:14
has helped is like, so Husby didn't want to go see it and he

01:02:17
did go see it with me and he like, he thought it was awesome.

01:02:20
Like he was like this is awesome.

01:02:22
He's like, I don't know if we needed this movie, but it was

01:02:24
awesome and I had so much fun in it and I really loved it and

01:02:27
like he really just like he that was what he said and I've seen a

01:02:29
lot of guys have that too. And the reason I think it's

01:02:32
doing so well is because it shows the flaws in the

01:02:36
patriarchy, but it also shows the flaws and what a matriarchy

01:02:40
would be. And that and it's the statement

01:02:42
that it makes overall, is we've got to come up with a better

01:02:45
way. We need to let people know that

01:02:47
we're grateful that they're in our lives and we need to come up

01:02:50
with a different way so that we don't pit people against people.

01:02:54
And I think that that was, that's a solid thing.

01:02:57
I mean, yeah, it is also about other things.

01:02:59
It's about Margot Robbie's character and her journey and

01:03:03
it's about humans and it's a about chins.

01:03:06
And I mean it's about a lot of stuff and it's glitzy and it's

01:03:08
beautiful and there's a lot of pink and you know, I mean it's

01:03:11
great and it's fun and it's funny and it'll make you cry.

01:03:14
But I think overall that's what it is and I think that's what

01:03:17
audiences are resonating with. I think that we're turning a

01:03:20
corner, that society is starting to think about becoming more

01:03:24
compassionate to each other again.

01:03:25
And I I like that. I think that's a good thing and

01:03:28
that's what I love about the movie.

01:03:29
So there you. Go And that's I totally agree.

01:03:32
And it's like doing what movies are supposed.

01:03:35
To do like you're supposed to go enjoy this film, but then talk

01:03:38
about it, like bring people together to go see it.

01:03:40
And then you're going to discuss it and talk about it and relate

01:03:42
to it. Afterwards, I had a friend still

01:03:44
think about, Yeah, like now like, I'll touch myself thinking

01:03:48
about, gosh, I really love that movie, you know, And so it's

01:03:51
thought revoking. Even when you're just like not

01:03:53
thinking about anything in general, you're just thinking

01:03:55
about how much you really liked that movie.

01:03:56
So to do that, I think they did such a good job.

01:03:59
I think that they did such a good job.

01:04:00
And I credit Greta Gerwig, or a lot of it, because I do think it

01:04:03
was her vision that she brought out.

01:04:06
Yeah, that's awesome. Awesome.

01:04:07
All right, let's keep it going, cuz we got a few more stories.

01:04:10
But sorry guys, no, it's gonna go off.

01:04:13
On Shout Out to Barbie. In fact, it's one of these.

01:04:16
Things where we were just like let just let it go.

01:04:19
I'm not. I don't care about the timer at

01:04:21
this point, because it's. Yeah, just let it happen.

01:04:22
She's got to. Get it out.

01:04:24
No, but it's good. I mean, it's the whole thing is

01:04:27
that we want that kind of narrative, you know?

01:04:28
And it's, it's, it's great. We need movies like that.

01:04:31
And if it has to be wrapped in pink and plastic, come on, OK,

01:04:35
let's have 10 of them. Right, so check this out.

01:04:37
Barbie Money could buy two of these.

01:04:39
Lions Gate has acquired Hasbro's Entertainment, 1E1 film and TV

01:04:45
production. Company for $500 million.

01:04:49
Wow. So Barbie could buy two of these

01:04:52
production companies. The transaction is set to close

01:04:56
by the end of the year. Hasbro shared this in a press

01:04:58
release. The sale will include a talented

01:05:01
team of employees, a content library of nearly 6500 titles.

01:05:05
Active productions for non Hasbro on IPS like the Rookie or

01:05:09
Yellow Jackets. Isn't that isn't great?

01:05:12
That's what that one show. Yeah, great.

01:05:13
Loves Yellow Jacket. Sells and Naked and Afraid

01:05:17
franchises and the E1 unscripted business which will include

01:05:21
rights for certain Hasbro based shows like Play, DoH, Squished.

01:05:25
Maybe Play was the next The Next Big Thing I Was.

01:05:28
Isn't that on Amazon? I think that's on Amazon.

01:05:30
Yeah, there you go. I think so too.

01:05:32
Sounds like something that. Barbie did, right?

01:05:36
Yeah. Say, Wong said Barbie did what

01:05:39
he meant, couldn't bring in the money's very true Z.

01:05:42
Well, the Z, if you're making a billion dollars, you can add any

01:05:45
Z's. Anything.

01:05:46
All right. Speaking of money, Oh my God,

01:05:48
you know what band? That's true.

01:05:49
That's very true. That's what is he saying?

01:05:51
He says that, and this is the first Barbie movie, not a

01:05:55
franchise done a million times. So he's saying like, this is the

01:05:58
first of its kind. It's not Marvel.

01:06:00
Yeah, basically sound like a. Hanger ball Gotcha.

01:06:04
All right, you know, would it be?

01:06:06
Would it have been called E1 and E2 since Barbie could buy both

01:06:09
of them? Right.

01:06:12
And she changed it to B1. I mean it's it's an interesting

01:06:15
concept. It's I wonder what Hasbro has

01:06:19
under all of this like what films they have and stuff like

01:06:21
that because obviously there's a lot of non Hasbro IP that's

01:06:25
under this, the rookie Yellow Jackets, naked and afraid all

01:06:27
things that entertainment are under entertainment ones.

01:06:30
I mean like I'm actually curious what Hasbro stuff is under that.

01:06:33
You know like kind of is it GI Joe?

01:06:36
Do we have is Transformers a part of that Like you know I'm

01:06:39
just kind of curious like what Ip's are on that and just kind

01:06:42
of like Lionsgate is the company that purchased them.

01:06:45
So it's. Like, interesting Is this gonna

01:06:47
remobilize our Lions Gate, is the question.

01:06:49
We'll see. Yeah, We'll see.

01:06:51
Interesting, Yeah. Speaking of GI Joe, has anybody

01:06:54
watched a Transformers Rise of the Beast, which is on Paramount

01:06:58
Plus now I have not. I have not.

01:07:01
OK, I have three beasts at home already.

01:07:03
I don't. I don't have Paramount Plus.

01:07:05
Oh, I don't either. So I do.

01:07:07
So I'm just saying I watched it. Look at me go.

01:07:09
I've been asking you for the for the login forever.

01:07:12
Keep asking, OK, Speaking of money.

01:07:15
Musical artist Post Malone has purchased a one-of-a-kind Magic

01:07:20
the Gathering card known as the One Ring, which is obviously

01:07:23
inspired by Lord of the Rings. The one of 1 variant was valued

01:07:28
at $2 and there are reports saying that Malone spent

01:07:33
2.6 million on the card, but the exact amount he paid has not

01:07:37
been revealed. This particular The One Ring

01:07:40
card features the Black Speech of Mordor on the card instead of

01:07:43
a normal. Spoken language.

01:07:45
So dope. Yeah, he's like.

01:07:47
Oh my gosh, Magic player. And so has B is too.

01:07:51
So he actually showed me the story like a couple of days ago,

01:07:53
I was like, oh, that's so cool. I was like, wait, this person

01:07:55
want? And he's like, no, he's totally

01:07:56
magic. And I was like, all right.

01:07:58
So Malone is definitely the guy that not only can afford to buy

01:08:02
the card for that one-of-a-kind money, but he's also a true fan

01:08:05
that will no doubt appreciate the card.

01:08:07
I don't know if you guys, I think it's on Twitter.

01:08:09
I haven't. I only saw it on Twitter.

01:08:10
But there's a video of him buying the card like he's

01:08:13
looking at it, looking. At it and and it's just like

01:08:16
somebody if you go to a con and they're looking at something

01:08:19
that they want to buy, comic book, Funko, pop, whatever.

01:08:21
And the guy's like, so do you want it?

01:08:23
And he's like, yeah, I'm gonna take it and it's like, dude.

01:08:27
Whatever amount it was, over $2 post Malone just

01:08:30
changed this guy's life. Yeah, 2. $1 like like

01:08:35
the lottery. Because I remember when we, when

01:08:38
we talked about Magic coming out with these Lord of the Rings

01:08:42
cards and and I remember just talking about oh, you know how

01:08:46
cool would be like to be the person who got the One Ring as

01:08:48
they announced that they were only gonna make one One Ring

01:08:51
card. And I was like, yeah, like you

01:08:52
know people. It's like Pokémon cards, Like

01:08:53
people are gonna buy 1000 packs just so they can get a.

01:08:57
A specific shiny, right. So it's like, you know,

01:08:59
guarantee that people bought crazy amount of packs.

01:09:02
And I guarantee you the guy who actually got the pack was just a

01:09:05
random dude. It wasn't yeah, like 1000 packs

01:09:07
of cards, you know, But like he, you know, he got the One Ring,

01:09:11
sold it for over 2 million because again, we don't know the

01:09:14
exact amount, but we know it was over 2 million.

01:09:17
The thing was, is the other thing I read about this was that

01:09:19
it was because he had it rated immediately and it was a 7 and

01:09:23
not a ten, even though he had gotten it right out of the pack.

01:09:26
Yeah. Something, yeah, there was

01:09:28
something how like you know, Oh yeah, well, you know, even

01:09:30
though it came out of the pack, it wasn't in perfect condition.

01:09:32
And it's like, well, how it came out of the pack.

01:09:34
Well, that's then. It should be a 10 because that's

01:09:38
the only one they made, so there's nothing to compare it

01:09:40
to. Yeah, exactly.

01:09:41
It's a 10 out of 10, no matter what it is.

01:09:43
Yeah. So OK.

01:09:44
Because it was first sold at 2.6 or whatever at two, at over 2

01:09:48
million, it you know the the way that these the, the valuation

01:09:52
with these cards go, it's never going to be less than the amount

01:09:55
that Post Malone paid for it so. If he sells that card, it's

01:09:58
gonna be more than what he bought it for.

01:10:00
Guarantee you he's not gonna sell that car.

01:10:02
That card is gonna be inherited to whoever you know has he

01:10:06
writes out in his in his will. But.

01:10:08
I'm gonna wear it like a chain, you know what I mean?

01:10:11
He can do what Logan Paul does and water is with his Pikachu

01:10:14
card. Yes, yeah, yeah, I got that

01:10:17
reference. I know what reference you were

01:10:18
making that literally wears it as a chain.

01:10:20
Yes, so funny. Yeah, that was previously the

01:10:23
most expensive card before this one.

01:10:25
Yeah, it. I just, I'm really happy for

01:10:27
him. And I played Magic the

01:10:29
Gathering. I know it's really fun and it's

01:10:32
this is what those things were. He can never play this card in a

01:10:35
deck. I mean, it's just not gonna

01:10:37
happen. So it's like they made that card

01:10:39
irrelevant. Well, I mean, you came because

01:10:42
you can't play it. You can't do anything with it

01:10:44
anyways, it's written in the. Black speech of Mordor.

01:10:46
So I mean, like, yeah, you know, and I mean there's people,

01:10:48
there's probably people who read the black speech and know how to

01:10:51
speak the black speech and like speak orkish and everything like

01:10:53
that. But it's like it's not gonna

01:10:55
you, you're not gonna play that card.

01:10:57
Yeah, I guarantee you. I guarantee you on the card,

01:10:59
what's written on the card is actually like an end all thing.

01:11:02
Like if you put that card down, you win the game automatically.

01:11:04
Yeah, probably. So bad.

01:11:05
Yeah, if you're in control of this card, you can never die,

01:11:08
right? Something like that.

01:11:09
So you just. Well, like if you if if you

01:11:11
place the card down, like, you know, everybody automatically

01:11:14
dies. Someone.

01:11:15
Yeah, I could see that. Um.

01:11:17
So yeah. And you know Wizards of the

01:11:18
Coast needs some good PR right now.

01:11:20
So this is good. Yeah, that's good for that.

01:11:22
Let's go because we've got another Kevin Smith.

01:11:25
Back to Snoochy news, Last week Kevin Smith released a video on

01:11:29
YouTube asking fans to make Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash

01:11:34
their local comic shop. The shop is known as The Stash

01:11:37
and is located in Red Bank, NJ. I totally want to go there.

01:11:41
It's like a destination of mine, like, I mean, I would never go

01:11:44
to Red Bank, NJ. Just to go to red paint New

01:11:46
Jersey. But I mean, I would go because

01:11:48
the secret stash is there. Well, isn't that where the

01:11:50
cinema is too. So, like, you could go, yeah,

01:11:52
cinema you could go to. That it's like the next town

01:11:55
over. But that's if we ever did that,

01:11:58
Like if I ever went to New Jersey, it would be specifically

01:12:00
to go to the secret stash and to go watch a movie at at the Smart

01:12:04
Castle. Yeah, the Smart Castle is

01:12:05
actually connected to the Mini Mart.

01:12:07
Yeah. OK, Yeah, it's it's, uh, they

01:12:10
bought it out and they turn it into a theater, so.

01:12:12
Anyway, they're launching a mail order subscription service for

01:12:16
fans in the United States so that they can get in on the

01:12:19
Secret Stash comic shop action. People from all over the United

01:12:23
States can place their order and get 15% discount and have it

01:12:27
delivered to their house. Pretty cool, all right?

01:12:30
Makes sense. Yeah, it kind of.

01:12:31
I have such bad. I've had such bad experiences

01:12:34
with like mail order stuff though, with comics, when it

01:12:37
comes to that, because I used to do that with DC and I had one

01:12:40
Wonder Woman that was basically coverless.

01:12:43
Yeah, I was. Pretty Then this is gonna

01:12:45
trigger you right here, because it's unclear if those discounts

01:12:48
are available on specialty items in the store or just things you

01:12:51
order through your Diamond Comics Distributors poll list

01:12:54
there. It is if you're if you had a DC

01:12:57
poll list or you know a DC delivery thing, Diamond is the

01:13:01
company that handles all that. So that that ripped cover that

01:13:05
you got. Yeah, thank you.

01:13:06
Diamond Smith revealed that there's a new Reservist tab on

01:13:09
the Stashes homepage. You can click on that and from

01:13:12
there. You can reach out to the store

01:13:14
employees via phone or e-mail or get your box set up.

01:13:17
I'm I would do that just to like see if if somebody like like

01:13:20
from Comic Book Men answered right.

01:13:23
Yeah, you. Should do it.

01:13:23
You should do it. You're gonna order some comics.

01:13:25
I'm not actually. I'm probably actually gonna

01:13:27
order something from this just because I have one.

01:13:30
I have a couple of Kevin Smith's comics, but I mean like like I

01:13:33
have his Batman series and then I have Masquerade, which is the

01:13:37
new comic or not the new comic that you did.

01:13:39
I have the first issue of Masquerade which now.

01:13:41
The second thought. So yeah.

01:13:43
They do their own when he was doing the black cat, yes, saying

01:13:46
that it wasn't black cat or was it spider man Black, I can't

01:13:49
remember. Which one?

01:13:50
I know he did Black Cat, but he's also done Green Arrow.

01:13:54
He's actually a little came up with onomatopoeia.

01:13:56
Yeah, no, I actually read stuff on the Green Arrow stuff too.

01:14:01
Yeah, but yeah, the black, the Black Hat stuff.

01:14:03
I mean, I love that. That was such a good.

01:14:05
Story he's also the reason for all of you guys out there that

01:14:08
that watched the arrow and and you know the air over.

01:14:13
From the air overs and and and when his sister became speedy,

01:14:17
that was the Kevin Smith thing. Kevin Smith came up with that.

01:14:19
Promise. Yeah.

01:14:20
And Big Belly Burger, Right. Wasn't that.

01:14:22
Yeah, that was. I think that was a hidden thing

01:14:24
too. I like Big Belly work because he

01:14:25
wanted something like he like how they had their their burger

01:14:28
place. Movies I've got.

01:14:30
I've got a movie idol up here that was signed by Kevin Smith.

01:14:32
Thank you, Jay. Thank you, James.

01:14:34
James. Welcome, Sir.

01:14:36
I'm waiting for the reciprocated gift.

01:14:40
How to figure out which one like?

01:14:42
Like, hold your heart the way that the movies one holds mine.

01:14:45
Exactly. And my birthday was last month,

01:14:47

01:14:50

01:14:51
we go to the con. So I'm sure I'll just pick it up

01:14:53
then. So thank you, Sir.

01:14:54
Yeah, exactly. Shop in 1997.

01:14:58
The same year he released his film Chasing Amy, the store was

01:15:01
also featured on Amc's unscripted series Comic Men,

01:15:04
which we were just talking about, which featured Kevin

01:15:07
Smith, his friends, and the employees running the store and

01:15:10
interacting with guests. Actually, we have interacted

01:15:13
with a person from from that show multiple times at this

01:15:17
point and he is a very, very funny guy.

01:15:20
But all of a sudden I'm forgetting his name and I feel

01:15:23
like a jerk forgetting his name. I love that show.

01:15:25
Promise man. Watch the show.

01:15:26
Yeah, James, help me. Well, what's what's?

01:15:29
Thinking about Ming Chen? Ming Chen?

01:15:30
Oh, OK. I wasn't sure you were talking

01:15:32
about, but yeah. OK, yeah, we just with the he

01:15:35
was letting. You.

01:15:36
I know, right? I'm just like, because you know

01:15:38
me, like as soon as I need to know somebody's name, I forget

01:15:40
it. And then I'll remember it like

01:15:41
10 minutes later, Like, that's right.

01:15:42
That's what I was talking about. Ming Chen.

01:15:45
We've met him more than once and he's like the coolest guy.

01:15:48
Oh, when? Back at like, I think with the

01:15:50
Wizard. Oh, was it OK?

01:15:52
I was thinking Wizard World, but yeah, I think you met him.

01:15:54
We didn't meet him at Wizard World I, meeting him at Stockton

01:15:57
Con because. As we stopped by C Andrew

01:16:00
Nelson's table and I had to like, I was dying.

01:16:02
So I had like drink some water and Sandra knows was like, dude,

01:16:04
take your mask off. Drink someone and Ming sitting

01:16:07
next to him and I ended up just sitting there talking with Ming

01:16:10
Chen for like 20 minutes. That's cool.

01:16:12
Yeah. And and we.

01:16:14
It was funny because you know went to the bathroom just to use

01:16:16
the bathroom. Ming Chen is in the Walks into

01:16:19
the Stall and then in very Kevin Are.

01:16:21
You stalking this guy? Was He walked?

01:16:24
In while I was in the bathroom and in very Kevin Smith fashion,

01:16:27
he started making Dick jokes. And it was.

01:16:28
Really funny. All right, that works out.

01:16:32
Yeah. Hey, Ron Turner, shout out to

01:16:34
you, buddy. Thanks for, uh, jumping into the

01:16:36
chat. I'm getting hungry.

01:16:37
All right, in BADA, PP news, McDonald's is loving the fact

01:16:43
that this brand is making a big feature appearance in Marvel's

01:16:47
Low Key Season 2. What spray?

01:16:49
Yes. Yeah, I know.

01:16:50
I'm excited. I'm super excited.

01:16:52
I mean, I really hate the 70s McDonald's uniforms.

01:16:57
They're really ugly. But I'm really excited for all.

01:16:59
I think it's kind of funny. So seen in the Loki Season 2

01:17:02
trailer, there's a sequence in that the has really caught on

01:17:07
with fans. Loki visits a reality where his

01:17:09
cohort variant Sylvie is working in a vintage style McDonald's

01:17:14
restaurant. I like this.

01:17:16
I'm so down with it. So check this out.

01:17:18
The McDonald's ad promises so there I guess it got released on

01:17:21
Twitter. McDonald's ad promises some kind

01:17:24
of big surprise opening coming on August 14th, which is like.

01:17:28
Next week, Yeah, like couple days away.

01:17:31
Yeah, I think it's Monday. But the opening of what?

01:17:34
We don't know Loki Season 2 won't be premiering to Disney

01:17:37
Plus on October 6th. McDonald's has some kind of tie

01:17:41
in promotion. Would the show, could we see a

01:17:43
McDonald's meal inspired by Loki?

01:17:47
MMM. Do you know what I think's gonna

01:17:48
happen? I think that they're gonna do

01:17:52
because it costs almost nothing for them to do this.

01:17:55
Well, I mean, almost. I'm not gonna say it doesn't,

01:17:57
but I mean, like, it's it's a cheap thing for them to do.

01:18:00
They're gonna do retro packaging minus the Styrofoam.

01:18:02
But I mean like. That's if you guys, if you guys

01:18:08
grew up, you know we're going to McDonald's, they had Styrofoam

01:18:11
packaging for the. Yellow styroform for the quarter

01:18:14
pound or whatever, yeah. Totally.

01:18:15
But I think that they're gonna do like like like throwback

01:18:18
meals and stuff like that and like you know, kind of, you

01:18:20
know, maybe like 1/4 pounder and and fries with a milkshake for

01:18:24
like a cheap price. Cool if they did, if they did

01:18:27
the old style commercials but put like Sylvie was in one as a

01:18:31
cashier or like they had something like that, but they

01:18:34
did like those, the old school commercials, I think that would

01:18:38
be really cool. I mean they've got back to

01:18:40
hamburger. So I mean, like you could do

01:18:42
like the ones from the mid 80s. Yeah, I you know, they could do

01:18:45
a fries guy things. They could do a Miss Minutes

01:18:48
thing. There's so many things they

01:18:50
could do. But I think what's gonna happen

01:18:52
is we're gonna get the Infinity Stones and Happy Meals.

01:18:55
Oh, maybe I'm kidding, I don't think.

01:18:58
Um and Grimace. They just had a Grimace purple

01:19:01
shake. Maybe they're gonna come out

01:19:02
with a low key shake or something.

01:19:03
Like, don't talk about the grimace.

01:19:05
A milkshake. It kills people.

01:19:06
You know what? I actually had had one.

01:19:08
I I didn't taste it. Was it OK?

01:19:10
That's pretty good. What it was like a mixed It was

01:19:12
like a mixed Berry. Uh, shake.

01:19:14
So it tasted kind of like that mixed Berry.

01:19:16
Like yogurt, blueberry, Yeah, like a blueberry.

01:19:19
Like boys and Berry taste. Like it was a yeah.

01:19:22
And it was pretty sweet. It was too sweet for me.

01:19:24
I couldn't drink the whole thing, but.

01:19:26
Uh, maybe that's what killed it. Maybe when you see those tick

01:19:28
tocks and they're killing people, it's because they're

01:19:30
having they're going into a diabetic coma.

01:19:31
My, my kids, My kids found. One of those videos on YouTube

01:19:37
and now Kaya, one of my daughters is super afraid of

01:19:41
grimace. Oh no.

01:19:43
Well, he did used to have four arms, so that.

01:19:45
Was yeah. She's like can you go to the

01:19:47
bathroom with me? I'm scared of Grimace.

01:19:49
I'm just. Like, Oh my God.

01:19:51
Grimace is supposed to be happy anyway, but if you think about

01:19:54
it, August 14th, I think that's when the original date was or

01:19:59
date should have been for local and then he got.

01:20:02
Pushed out about right I. Don't like like, right now?

01:20:05
Now we're getting just to scoop you on what's happening in in

01:20:09
Happy Meals right now. It's all the marvels, stuff like

01:20:12
that. So like, we've gotten a few

01:20:14
different marvels. Actually, if you come to Anna

01:20:16
Medford and you answer some trivia, we'll be giving away

01:20:20
some Happy Meal, some Captain Marvel's prizes to you, though.

01:20:26
I imagine. I imagine we have so many of

01:20:28
those prizes because he takes his kids to get the Happy Meals

01:20:31
and price and. Then I take their toys when

01:20:34
they're doing it's duplicates. Yeah, variants.

01:20:38

01:20:42
I I love how you sell it too. Hey, if you come by and answer,

01:20:46
you'll get my leftover McDonald's price.

01:20:50
I do have, uh, two fun pops that I purchased specifically for

01:20:55
this show. So I just, I was like the way

01:20:58
that he was like, yeah, you know the, the, the marbles toys are

01:21:02

01:21:05
Marbles toys. Come to Anna Medford and get

01:21:09
some greasy, used, uh, happy most toys.

01:21:12
And then next week, happy mail to it.

01:21:15
Next week, you know we'll have some kind of low key tie in, and

01:21:17
in the meantime, we got Taco news.

01:21:20
We got snack those people. In its first major announcement

01:21:28
since Taco John's officially released its trademark on Taco

01:21:32
Tuesday, Taco Bell is celebrating in a big way.

01:21:35
That company revealed it's giving away free tacos for

01:21:38
nearly the entire month of September.

01:21:41
Beginning next Tuesday, August 15th, every Taco Bell location

01:21:45
will gift Taco friends a free Doritos Locos Taco, similar to

01:21:49
the chains frequent giveaways during the pandemic, so you can

01:21:52
get a free Doritos Locos Taco. Yes, see.

01:21:55
Good. See, See.

01:21:57
Uh, free Doritos Locos Tacos will be available every Tuesday.

01:22:01
Get it? Taco Tuesday.

01:22:03
Taco Tuesday, and you know what that means leading up to

01:22:05
Tuesday, September 12th, which is when the real celebration

01:22:08
begins. According to the Taco chain,

01:22:10
it's partnered with DoorDash to give away up to $5 worth

01:22:16
of tacos on September 12th, regardless of which chain of or

01:22:20
Mexican restaurant you order them from.

01:22:22
Wow. That's crazy.

01:22:25
They're just like. We love tacos so much.

01:22:27
Even if you don't get tacos with Taco Bell, we're paying for your

01:22:30
tacos on. That's so awesomely.

01:22:32
Wherever your tacos, just get tacos.

01:22:34
Uh. Exact details for the September

01:22:36
12th event have not yet been unveiled, but you can plan on

01:22:39
eating tacos every week for the next month if need be.

01:22:42
Which I'll eat a Taco every day. Absolutely.

01:22:46
Taco Tuesday belongs to all who make, sell, eat, and celebrate

01:22:50
tacos. Celebrate tacos.

01:22:51
And this free for all will not only thank Taco fans who support

01:22:55
the cause, but will also spotlight local restaurants and

01:22:58
vendors who can now embrace Taco Tuesdays without fear of legal

01:23:02
action. So I guess Taco John's have the

01:23:05
copyright on Taco Tuesday. Kind of like how NFL has the

01:23:08
copyright on the Super Bowl and you're not allowed to do the

01:23:10
Super Bowl. Nobody could say Taco Tuesday

01:23:12
before Oh my gosh, we're gonna get by the NFL.

01:23:16
Talk about, chief marketer Taylor Montgomery said in the

01:23:18
announcement. When tacos win, we all win.

01:23:21
We all win When Taco John's decide decides to release its

01:23:25
trademark registration. We all win when Taco vendors

01:23:27
everywhere are free to enjoy the movement.

01:23:30
And we all win when Taco fans can freely celebrate and support

01:23:33
Taco. To the Taco Tuesday's at Taco

01:23:35
Bell or anywhere else. Give me a Taco Now Tacos on the.

01:23:38
Table Amazing. So, so tacos on the table right

01:23:42
there. Apparently the tacos will be

01:23:44
Dorito Loco. Yes.

01:23:46
Or any other Taco I mean. I love the idea of them just

01:23:50
being like, hey, Taco John's, we want you to release that that

01:23:53
trademark. And by doing so, we're gonna

01:23:56
give everybody free tacos. So that way everybody braids you

01:24:00
into releasing that trademark. Wow.

01:24:04
That's so awesome. I so want to go eat a Taco now,

01:24:07
Yeah. From anywhere I've never had the

01:24:09
it's pretty good. It's you know, you don't have to

01:24:13
like whether you like Doritos or not, because you know it.

01:24:15
It tastes that good, Dorito, but it doesn't like, really affect

01:24:18
it too much. Yeah, I like.

01:24:19
It's still just a Taco. I miss the other flavors of

01:24:22
Doritos tacos that they had because they had the Cool Ranch.

01:24:24
They just brought back the Volcano one just recently.

01:24:27
It's gone again, so. You are such a connoisseur of

01:24:30
like snack food and like, special event snack food.

01:24:34
It's so funny to me. But go eat a Doritos talk.

01:24:36
You gotta talk about somewhere over there, yeah?

01:24:38
Come on me. Yeah, yeah.

01:24:39
There's tons of don't. Get a Dorito, I don't know.

01:24:42
I don't really either. Well, so like we have this other

01:24:44
place here that's like more local and they do like street

01:24:48
tacos and different things like that.

01:24:49
So we go there because OK, it's better selection and.

01:24:52
She's like, I want actual Mexican food.

01:24:54
Yeah, I'm not. One to get like, you know, not

01:24:57
met, not, not Taco Bell that tried to open up a restaurant in

01:25:00
Mexico. And they'd laugh them out of

01:25:02
there because they were like, this is not Mexican.

01:25:04
Yeah, Taco Bell, actually. Uh, they finally figured out

01:25:07
what they're forming. Was and they're now get starting

01:25:09
to become popular in Mexico because they rebranded

01:25:12
themselves as selves, as American food.

01:25:14
Yeah, exactly. It's American.

01:25:16
Food. Just like KFC and like Japan,

01:25:18
you know, It's like, hey, it's just American food.

01:25:20
Yeah, a little bit of, actually, technically, as fried chicken

01:25:23
is. A talk about Most talk about

01:25:26
tacos are not Mexican. No, they're not.

01:25:29
That's Tex Mex, yeah. Well, make some Tex mex.

01:25:32
Because it was created in Texas, not in Mexico.

01:25:34
It's the hard shell. Most tacos are soft shell.

01:25:37
It's. Not a shell at all.

01:25:40
They're corn traditional tacos or corn tacos or corn tortillas.

01:25:43
They're like the little small corn Cortez.

01:25:45
Where's Taco Bell? If it's soft, it's a flour

01:25:47
tortilla, which also is an American thing.

01:25:50
And or. If it's a hard shell, it's a

01:25:53
tostada, yeah, or it's like a enchilada.

01:25:56
Or there's like all sorts of things.

01:25:58
Like burritos are also American. You go to Mexico, you will not

01:26:01
find a burrito anywhere inside. Really interesting.

01:26:03
You know you will find Mexico's Tortos.
