00:13:00
All right, guys, I know. Let's get into this.
00:13:04
Oh, real quick. Shout out to Wayne.
00:13:06
Wayne joined us on stage at Anna Medford.
00:13:09
That was awesome and thanks for documenting it.
00:13:10
He Wayne, the Unknown. So if you are on YouTube or if
00:13:13
you have YouTube or if you have the Internet, make sure you
00:13:15
check out Wayne the Unknown on YouTube.
00:13:17
He just released, I saw the premiere.
00:13:20
He just released a recap of the con.
00:13:21
It was really cool that that he put that out there.
00:13:24
I mean, I didn't get an interview.
00:13:25
But that's fine. I'm sure Wayne was too busy to
00:13:27
interview me, but that's fine. Well, he didn't know about your
00:13:29
Donald Trump. Right.
00:13:31
You're Donald strap ways. He specifically said, Philippe,
00:13:35
uh, let's get an interview with you tomorrow.
00:13:36
He's like great. And then I was like, Oh yeah,
00:13:39
I'll no, I'll just set up the mics.
00:13:41
I'll set up the mics, Wayne thing.
00:13:42
But shout out to Wayne the end. The.
00:13:43
PA Yeah, that's true. OK.
00:13:45
I mean it's it's kind of a travesty that, you know James,
00:13:48
who is definitely the more interesting two of us, doesn't
00:13:50
get UH interviewed more often. Uh.
00:13:53
Have 125 kids. So I mean and that's that was
00:13:55
exactly my next line was, you know it's because he has 123
00:13:58
kids and he doesn't have the time to do interviews like that
00:14:04
not not when you're trying to keep up with with all 123 of
00:14:08
yes. I think she just said it was
00:14:09
125. Did we lose to what happened?
00:14:13
I don't. Know.
00:14:14
All right. Gotta end this.
00:14:16
I mean, we got to get through this stream quick.
00:14:17
It's it's kind of hard when you have 125.
00:14:21
I mean you you're bound to lose a couple, Yep.
00:14:23
Yeah, they wander off and they come.
00:14:25
They're expendable. Whatever.
00:14:28
At that point, you have your own little bill, right?
00:14:30
That's why we had twins. You know, buy one, get one.
00:14:33
By God. All right, guys.
00:14:34
Yeah. I mean, God, I was gonna make
00:14:36

00:14:40
gentleman come. Back to us, Phil.

Moving along, ladies and gentlemen, it is now time to
00:14:46
start with some rumors. MMM.
00:14:48
I. Don't know where to get in
00:15:00
their. Nose.
00:15:04
But I'm not mad if tonight in control.
00:15:10
Rumors are swirling around like gumbo that a possible live
00:15:15
action remake of Disney's The Princess and the Frog is
00:15:18
happening. Uh, Disney is reporting that
00:15:21
their eyeing Lupita Nyong'o for the leading role of Kiana.
00:15:26
Huh. She would be perfect.
00:15:27
I love this. It's fantastic.
00:15:29
If not her, Keke Palmer, let's do this.
00:15:31
Oh man. Keke Palmer.
00:15:32
Keke Palmer. So hot.
00:15:33
Uh, let's just the serves. Looking the ungo though.
00:15:36
I mean like the. No, I love you.
00:15:39
I know, right? The young Go has previously
00:15:42
worked with Disney several times voice the voice of Maz Kanata in
00:15:45
the Star Wars as well as the animated series worked in.
00:15:49
Oh that's right she was she did have a whole thing in Forces of
00:15:52
Destiny. Forgot about that.
00:15:53
Young Go also played Nokia in Marvel's Black Panther and in
00:15:57
the Night in two 2016 biopic Queen of Cotway and Jon
00:16:02
Favrero's live action remake of The Jungle Book Interest.
00:16:05
I know she was in Jungle Book, so I guess two things.
00:16:07
I. Didn't know she was in Jungle
00:16:08
Book. I know, right?
00:16:09
I yeah, I purposely. Didn't watch it, so jungle
00:16:12
actually not bad. No, it's not that.
00:16:14
Like, I loved the animated so much.
00:16:16
I watched it so much as a good that I was like, I can't watch a
00:16:20
live action because I feel like it's never gonna live up to how
00:16:23
much I loved the animated. Yeah, and I didn't want to put
00:16:26
that on the actors and the a lot of film makers the live action
00:16:29
took. So you know, the animated
00:16:31
version took a lot of scenes out of the book that that were in
00:16:34
the book and they just kind of didn't address stuff.
00:16:36
There were a lot of cutscenes in the original animated one where
00:16:40
things don't make sense in the original one.
00:16:42
We just recently watched the original 1 again and the live
00:16:45
action one. Jon Favreau made a point of I I
00:16:48
still wanted to resemble the Disney version, but he
00:16:51
hybridized it with a lot more of the original book.
00:16:54
So you get the. Kipling book, Yeah.
00:16:56
So he he took a lot of the scenes from the Kipling book and
00:16:59
put it back into the movie to add context.
00:17:01
Yeah, I mean, I am not. It's not that I don't want to.
00:17:04
It was just that because I respect John Pogros so much.
00:17:07
He is one of my favorite drugs. I've loved him since Swinger.
00:17:10
Yeah. And he's so money doesn't even
00:17:12
know it. But, and I didn't want to have
00:17:16
like my childhood, like nostalgia.
00:17:18
I didn't want thing, you know, I didn't want to like that come
00:17:20
against a director I really love.
00:17:22
It's just A and there were some weird, like there were some
00:17:25
weird choices in that movie too. So, I mean, you know,
00:17:28
specifically with the gigantic Pittacus that was King Louie,
00:17:34
yeah, there was for some very weird choices with walking in
00:17:39
that, but. Look to Princess on the Rock.
00:17:43
Two questions. Are we getting a live action
00:17:45
Princess in The Frog? And two, is Lupita going to play
00:17:48
Tiana? I say well not for to answer #1,
00:17:52
yes, we are getting a live action Princess in the frog.
00:17:55
They already announced that. So Disney's officially announced
00:17:57
that they're doing a live at. They're working on a live action
00:17:59
Princess in the Frog. So we know that that's
00:18:01
happening, right. As far as Lupitan the angle
00:18:04
playing playing Tiana, I think she'd kill it you know and I
00:18:08
think that it is something that that Disney would do who force.
00:18:14
I will say that that's actually a really good choice for Snake,
00:18:17
because he actually. Looks we'll talk about that in a
00:18:18
second. But but yeah no.
00:18:21
So I think Lupita Nyong'o is is such a she has so much range as
00:18:25
an actress and she could sing too.
00:18:27
So I mean like I stand her I see her killing it as Tiana as Anna
00:18:33
and and not only just, you know cuz I the majority of the movie
00:18:36
she's gonna be a frog right. So I mean, like, you know, I
00:18:38
think that she's a good, she's a good enough voice actress.
00:18:42
I think that she is a good enough actress in general that
00:18:46
she can pull off both the live action and the voice acting
00:18:48
parts of that. Yeah, no, I mean, just to, like,
00:18:50
jump on to that she. Frog jump onto the boss.
00:18:54
Let me leap onto that Lily. But she did box.
00:19:01
So it's not this, it's not the it's not like the voice acting
00:19:04
would be like a stretch. Yeah, good point.
00:19:06
So I think, yeah, I think that she actually has all of the
00:19:09
chops to do it right. It's just is she available for
00:19:12
long enough to do it in the time frame that they're gonna need
00:19:15
with the strike and everything? I think that would be the only
00:19:18
thing that would derail her doing and then have it work
00:19:21
somebody else. Right.
00:19:21
So, but yeah, my talk is around the table for, yeah, absolutely
00:19:24
James Tacos and. All the tacos on all the tables.
00:19:27
Let's do it perfect. Voice.
00:19:29
I love it. Let's keep going.
00:19:30
Hey, I want to do. Yeah, of course.
00:19:32
I feel like guys that like Wonder Room, just because, you
00:19:35
know, I love her so much. It's like, should we put Wonder
00:19:38
Woman? Or not.
00:19:38
The answer is yes. Or not.
00:19:39
Oh, we should, probably. But the answer to anything is
00:19:42
yes. Oh, I'm gonna be honest, I
00:19:44
didn't even see this one. OK, hold on.
00:19:46
I don't have a slide for this. Sorry, go ahead.
00:19:48
But I don't have a snip for it all.
00:19:49
Right on December 9, 2021, That's the past.
00:19:53
Developer Monolith Productions and publisher W Games announced
00:19:57
a Wonder Woman game alongside A teaser chair.
00:20:00
Since then spent two. Two what?
00:20:05
On Reddit, an eagle eyed user has discovered what appears to
00:20:08
be some type of concept art for the game on the LinkedIn page of
00:20:12
a developer working on the game. This is like some Diggins person
00:20:16
I know, right? Like some stalking?
00:20:18
Yeah. I feel like they're an
00:20:20
archaeologist. They're finding like all the
00:20:22
differences, like the Greeks and.
00:20:23
I mean, that's the majority of people on Reddit.
00:20:25
So your Lincoln belongs in a museum.
00:20:30
Wonder Woman is expected to be in development for PC, PS5, Xbox
00:20:35
Series S, and Xbox Series X. Um, so I do have a synopsis.
00:20:41
Oh, do you? The mascara.
00:20:43
Ted Lasso. Truth game Opsis.
00:20:45
Synopsis. Jesus James Uh Famous garrets.
00:20:48
Ted Lasso of Truth Game Opsis Synopsis, Ted Lasso on Dude,
00:20:56
That's what was true. I know, that's why I'm like.
00:20:59
Stretch man that is stretched, I called it.
00:21:02
I could have, said the Martha Lasso of truth, but.
00:21:06
Why did you say the name? Martha ah It's development by
00:21:11
Mana Productions, creators of the critically acclaimed Middle
00:21:13
Earth, Shadow of Wardour and sequel Middle Earth Shadow of
00:21:16
War. The single player open world
00:21:18
action game will introduce an original story set in the DC
00:21:22
Universe and allow players to come.
00:21:24
Diana up in Mascara in the fight tonight for Amazon, family and.
00:21:29
From the modern world from an official game announcement in
00:21:32
2021. Powered by the Nemesis system,
00:21:35
gamers will forge deep connections with the enemies and
00:21:38
allies. They progress from a heroic
00:21:40
fighter into a proven leader. Oh, I'm.
00:21:43
I'm excited for that. Just because then I've been
00:21:46
saying that once I'm done with Street Fighter, I might bust out
00:21:48
all the Shadow and Mordor games and go through a replay on those
00:21:52
just because the games are really good, right?
00:21:55
And the Nemesis system, I thought was as frustrating as it
00:21:58
was. A really good kind of like like
00:22:02
self learning system. So is it like a pretty good
00:22:04
engine to do? So it's a trip because what
00:22:09
happens is the the, the computer on its own will, kind of like I
00:22:15
guess like the generals and and the the leadership on for the
00:22:19
orcs, they fight amongst each other, right?
00:22:05
Like a like a war type game on then.
00:22:21
And it's kind of like what happens is if an orc kills
00:22:26
somebody who's ranked above him, he becomes that.
00:22:29
Position right. So what ends up happening is you
00:22:31
know as you kill leaders on on you know on the ground, you know
00:22:36
they're also like killing each other and getting stronger and
00:22:39
leveling up. So like if you if you fight one
00:22:41
of them and they kill you, they like rank up even higher and
00:22:45
they start getting stronger and it's it's a like it's almost.
00:22:47
Like, I think Cosby played that. Yeah, it gets.
00:22:50
I remember that. Yeah, it gets frustrating
00:22:52
because again, they they tend to be really smart.
00:22:55
So you know, like if you if you're fighting one general and
00:22:58
another one's like. Across the field and sees you,
00:23:00
he will run into the fight and and like fight you at the same
00:23:04
time. And if like if like I, there was
00:23:06
one time I got ganged up on by like 4 different like captains,
00:23:11
right? Like I started fighting one and
00:23:13
then another one came and then two more ran around the corner
00:23:16
and I was like, are you serious? So it's like I'm killing all
00:23:18
these like little orcs and then there's like 4 captains coming
00:23:21
at me and they're like super strong.
00:23:23
The other thing is every single orc that's in leadership has a
00:23:27
certain style. Certain, like, like, all of them
00:23:31
have like, different things that they're afraid of versus
00:23:33
different things that different weaknesses and stuff.
00:23:35
So, like, you have to study each of them and like, you can pause
00:23:38
the game and like, look at, like, OK, here's the dude I just
00:23:41
saw. What are his weaknesses, right?
00:23:42
And some of these will be like, they're afraid of, like, that
00:23:46
the the monsters that they write on or I forgot what they are.
00:23:48
Right. Least right.
00:23:50
Like, well, one of them's afraid of them.
00:23:51
But then there's another one that's like emboldened by them,
00:23:54
right? And like, you'll have like, this
00:23:55
one guy that's like, oh, he's completely afraid.
00:23:57
But then there's another guy that like.
00:23:59
Will just kind of get super strong and like whoop on you
00:24:02
because it's there. So it's like the game is is so
00:24:05
it's so. Sounds really?
00:24:06
Complex it is. It's very complex, but it's it's
00:24:08
fun if you can make your way around the game, right.
00:24:11
So you know and it just makes for difficult things on that.
00:24:14
The second game, Shadow of War, they they made it to where they
00:24:19
still have the Nemesis system on there.
00:24:21
But instead of it being just one guy that like got stronger like
00:24:25
once they hit a certain level than they had like arms and they
00:24:27
command armies in battle and let's.
00:24:29
Like, Oh my God, yeah. So now it's like you're fighting
00:24:31
this one dude who has like a command over like a bunch of
00:24:35
different. So it's kind of like machine
00:24:36
learning. And again, so the game's never
00:24:39
really the same as you go through it.
00:24:41
Right. The AI, because the AI is so
00:24:45
it's it learns so well. And that's The thing is that it
00:24:47
picks up on your style too. So like it'll it'll figure if
00:24:51
like one of the leaders kills you it knows how you fight the
00:24:54
next time you go to fight them. So it'll block you more.
00:24:56
Oh wow. That's.
00:24:57
Yeah. It's, it's and very.
00:24:59
It is. It is very.
00:25:00
I stopped playing Shadow of War like halfway through because I
00:25:03
was like, OK, I can't play this anymore.
00:25:04
I will throw this controller into the TV if I can.
00:25:08
Yeah, so it's like now. I mean I've grown as a gamer and
00:25:11
I've gotten better at different things.
00:25:12
So I figure, OK, I can do a play through of both these games and
00:25:15
hopefully it won't be as frustrating as it was the first
00:25:17
time I'm guaranteed it will be. But still, the storyline was
00:25:20
really good because it takes place, uh, it takes place like
00:25:23
100 years before the rise of Sauron.
00:25:26
Yeah. And it's like it's it's how
00:25:28
Mordor. Comes, becomes the Darklands.
00:25:30
Basically, catch. Oh hey, I want to.
00:25:33
Switch here it start. I want to switch gears and ask
00:25:35
you about gaming stuff like yes, so it it says here December of
00:25:39
2021 that they announced the Wonder Woman game.
00:25:45
Yeah. Yeah.
00:25:43
So we're looking for. So two years ish.
00:25:47
What are we looking at? What are?
00:25:48
You doing? No, I'm.
00:25:50
I'm trying to close a window and my kids in the way.
00:25:53
I'm like, what are we looking at?
00:25:55
Yeah. There's something up.
00:25:55
No, no. Like I said, I'm trying to close
00:25:57
the window. Is that so?
00:25:58
Two years? Is that typical?
00:26:00
We don't really hear anything about a game, even though that
00:26:03
they announced. It yeah, a lot of times,
00:26:06
especially with with with Warner brother games a lot of times
00:26:11
it's mainly because you know the development gets a little bit
00:26:14
hard sometimes. You know they they go on hiatus.
00:26:18
It also depends on how many games Monolith was producing at
00:26:21
the time when they first came on.
00:26:22
Warner Brothers produces a lot of games.
00:26:24
So like you know, it could just be that they kind of like put it
00:26:27
in the backseat for a little bit the other.
00:26:29
Thing is if they're if they're doing a really, really ambitious
00:26:32
game, then they can take a lot longer, right.
00:26:35
And especially with like everybody trying to eliminate
00:26:37
crunch culture, right. Warner Brothers is especially
00:26:41
getting behind that. And you can see that evident
00:26:44
with like how they're treating rock steady and how they're
00:26:45
treating Warner Brothers Montreal and everything like
00:26:48
that. Because they're kind of just you
00:26:49
know they're they're with the flop of of Gotham Knights.
00:26:54
You know, like, I know that they're like, oh, hey, we put
00:26:57
out this gameplay trailer for. For defeat the Justice League
00:27:02
and nobody liked it. So they're like, OK, we got to
00:27:04
go back to this, to the drawing out of, figure some stuff out.
00:27:07
Yeah, OK. Yeah, well, it's like, hey,
00:27:08
let's figure this out. So I'm sure they don't want to
00:27:10
put out anything with this Wonder Woman game until they
00:27:14
know it's what they want it to be.
00:27:16
Those they're afraid if this picture is from one Roman, it
00:27:19
looks kind of interesting because it like what you're
00:27:21
saying. It looks like there's different
00:27:22
ways to play or different characters to play.
00:27:24
Like there's Wonder Woman, there's Amazonians there.
00:27:27
Looks like, yeah, some kind of human would with a rifle or
00:27:29
something. Yeah, it looks like a mass
00:27:31
effects, Ashley. Yeah, yeah.
00:27:33
So it's it's interesting because like you probably will have
00:27:35
different play styles that you can go through.
00:27:38
I wonder if it's gonna have an RPG element where you can like
00:27:41
change characters and stuff like that.
00:27:43
Or if you just. Yeah or like if you are just
00:27:45
playing as Diana, you know, like or I guess you know, is Diana a
00:27:48
hero character and you know, you build your own character and the
00:27:51
two other characters are the ones that you kind of build off.
00:27:54
Like it's gonna be interesting the way that they do this.
00:27:56
You know, like that's. It'd be cool if those
00:27:57
multiplayer and like could have. Somebody played Diana and then
00:28:00
like bring in like Donna or bring in like an Amazon guys,
00:28:04
you know, or followed it, right? Or like somebody plays a human.
00:28:07
Somebody plays like so you could have other, like people playing
00:28:10
with you because that'd be fun, but not like.
00:28:12
I all I ask is that if they do do something where it's like on
00:28:17
the mascara and they're being attacked or you know I I want to
00:28:20
see them fighting kind of large scale enemies because I want to
00:28:24
be able to like what I want to do is be able to play with Diana
00:28:27
and the sword. No, I mean.
00:28:29
I think that all of her, like any weapon, should be.
00:28:32
Like I like. So there's something about Diana
00:28:34
and the way she wields his sword that is just really badass to
00:28:37
me. So like.
00:28:38
I and her shield likes the way she is because she does the
00:28:40
sword, she'll right in it. That also looks really.
00:28:43
Right. Like, you know, I I want to be
00:28:44
able to do things with that, uh, just because I feel like she is
00:28:49
one of those characters that, you know, she's she's just kind
00:28:52
of a badass, you know, like just with those things, I want the
00:28:55
gameplay to be very similar to Batman, which actually Shadow
00:28:58
of. The Nemesis engine is built off
00:29:01
of the Arkham Asylum engine, so. Oh, OK.
00:29:04
So yeah. So the fight is very similar.
00:29:06
Yeah, the fight system is very similar there.
00:29:08
Yeah, go. Hey, we got one more rumor
00:29:09
coming from the chat, yes. Yes, tacos on the table.
00:29:14
Tacos on the table. This will get made because they
00:29:16
don't want to mess with. I love it.
00:29:20
Tacos. Definitely on the table because
00:29:21
nobody wants to mess with, right?
00:29:22
They want to mess with. So rumor from the chat, I'm
00:29:25
gonna put that back on the screen right there.
00:29:27
So Adam Driver is rumored to be in talks to star in a role of a
00:29:32
younger snake in a Harry Potter spin off series where the
00:29:34
parents of the Potter crew are together.
00:29:37
I I like the idea of this. I think Adam Driver.
00:29:41
I've I've always felt like Adam Driver could pull off a young
00:29:43
snake. Oh yeah, I mean, he's got.
00:29:45
The sass, definitely. And I think he could pull off
00:29:47
the British accent he needed to Yeah, I think I think he'd be.
00:29:51
If he's better off at reverse, then then Marvel.
00:29:55
I could totally see that too. And this is supposed to be a
00:29:57
series. So the other thing is, again,
00:29:59
this would be kind of a big commitment if he did play the
00:30:01
character. I just realized like the whole
00:30:03
Snape and James Otter. Has he got?
00:30:05
Unless he's in the first one and then he like goes and his
00:30:09
defects after the first episode. Right.
00:30:11
I I mean I I want to see if this is something where if the series
00:30:14
that they're doing because they. Still haven't announced what the
00:30:16
series is going to be. But if they the series is
00:30:18
something where it's the the parents of the Harry Potter
00:30:21
characters. Like I do want to see that
00:30:23
relationship between James Potter and and and and Snape.
00:30:26
Because you know they did not have a good relationship like
00:30:29
James Potter picked on Sever Snape.
00:30:30
So I I kind of want to be able to see.
00:30:32
I want to see what the relationship was with Snape and
00:30:36
Harry Potter's mom, whatever her name is.
00:30:38
Martha Potter. Whatever.
00:30:39
Martha Potter. You know, Martha.
00:30:42
Lily Potter. Yeah.
00:30:43
I want to see what their relationship is like.
00:30:44
It feels, feels like that the Potter thing is like, this is
00:30:48
Cyclops and Jean Grey, and Snape is like Wolverine.
00:30:52
He's like on the outside, but he still loves her, you know what I
00:30:55
mean? I also want to see he's.
00:30:56
That bad. Yeah, the bad boy.
00:30:58
I also would like to see Lillian Petunias relationship just kind
00:31:03
of outside of this they. Have any other siblings?
00:31:05
Yeah, they knew it. Never they.
00:31:07
Never. They would all be named after
00:31:08
flowers. Yeah, is Lily.
00:31:11
Not name all their brothers Rose.
00:31:13
If they had a brother, what would he be named?
00:31:15
Orchid. Um Thistle Thistle.
00:31:19
Your name is Briar Bush. Briar Bush Otter Horny.
00:31:25
Uh, thorny. Actually, his probably would be
00:31:26
the one. His name's Thornton and they
00:31:29
call him Thorny. Tacos on the table guys, Do you
00:31:34
believe that we are gonna get Adam Driver as sever snake?
00:31:37
I'm gonna say yes. The reason why?
00:31:39
Table tacos are on the table because they need somebody like
00:31:43
an Adam driver to head up that franchise, you know what I mean?
00:31:46
Like, they can get anybody to be read Richards and everybody's
00:31:49
gonna be happy like, Oh my God, Weird Richards.
00:31:51
But they need like. Or no one's gonna Or nobody.
00:31:53
Can't be. Yes.
00:31:54
It's no matter who you get. But having having somebody like
00:31:58
Adam Driver kind of like be the staple of the new Potter verse,
00:32:02
I think that will be key. I think that that's also a good
00:32:05
idea. I agree with that.
00:32:06
Tacos are on the table. I think Adam Driver is probably
00:32:09
one of the. Pics that you can get or sever
00:32:11
Snape he has range for. Yeah he has the look for sure.
00:32:14
I think he has the range for it. I think that he would make a
00:32:18
good sever snake. That's Ask Lid Jacket how she
00:32:21
feels about this. He he like, you know he's done
00:32:24
so many like adult things and this would be like the first
00:32:27
thing that he would really do that's more friendly.
00:32:29
And so he might want to do something like that just to when
00:32:31
he has kids later he's like look down was in Harry Potter you
00:32:34
know. But also make sure there's a
00:32:36
couple shirtless scenes of Adam Driver.
00:32:38
So La Jack is happy, right? Yeah.
00:32:40
OK, you're saying. Also, Cyclops is a tool.
00:32:43
So sorry. OK, let's get to some Get into
00:32:47
some news, yeah. It is about time.
00:32:50
Hold on. Sorry I gotta put that back on
00:32:52
the screen. It is now time.
00:32:59
Still looks like Thor on the Rainbow Bridge.
00:33:03
Holding on for dear life, Yeah. When my kids drew it, yeah.
00:33:07
Loki. It's Loki, yes.
00:33:09
Me go. Don't let me go, brother.
00:33:13
All right, let's get into. I've been falling for. 30
00:33:17
minutes I was falling, but 30 minutes?
00:33:19
OK, let's go. OK, strike news.
00:33:22
Last week, a supermajority of Marvel's 50 plus visual effects
00:33:27
workers voted to unionize with Ayazi.
00:33:30
A step to becoming protected workers similar to those in
00:33:33
unions like Writers Guild of America and say F AFTRA.
00:33:36
Who's gonna have a problem saying AFSTRA?
00:33:38
Like off. It's America, American Film
00:33:41
Television and Radio Association.
00:33:44
Also after after days after Marvel's VFX workers voted
00:33:49
internally on Unite unionizing, the next step in the matter has
00:33:52
taken place Tuesday. The International Alliance of
00:33:56
Theatrical Stage Employees, Ayazi and Marvel Studios have
00:34:00
agreed on a voting timeline to recognize the union.
00:34:03
The Marvel's like, OK, I guess we're going to do this.
00:34:06
According to the news report, voting opens on August 21st or
00:34:10
open down August My first, and we'll run through the next few
00:34:12
weeks before results are certified and subsequently
00:34:16
announced on September Wealth. Barring any surprise
00:34:20
developments, the upcoming IoT See vote should pass, which
00:34:23
would make Marvel's visual effects workers the first
00:34:25
unionized VFX group in the entirety of Hollywood.
00:34:29
Sorry, I cut you off. No, I was just saying it's cool.
00:34:31
No, I think it's great. I think, yeah, I'm all for this.
00:34:33
Yeah, I I'm, I'm also very happy to hear that this is happening.
00:34:37
This is definitely something that's needed to happen.
00:34:39
For a long time, especially with all the, I would say, rumors,
00:34:42
but I mean, you know, with everything that we've heard
00:34:45
about the way that the VFX system works, especially with
00:34:48
Marvel kind of like pushing. And and you know, a lot of
00:34:52
people complained about the way that how some property started
00:34:55
turning out after a while. You know, famously everybody
00:34:58
complained about she Hulk saying that, you know, it felt like I
00:35:03
got that. People felt like it got rushed
00:35:04
through and it's more so because there's so many projects on
00:35:07
their plate, you know, they kind of have to, like do.
00:35:09
What they can push it out and get on to the next one.
00:35:12
I feel like unionizing is gonna get to get them to a point
00:35:15
where, yes, it might be a little bit longer for properties to
00:35:19
come out, but we're gonna get more quality out of it, you
00:35:21
know, just because they're gonna actually have the time to do
00:35:23
stuff. Combination of that.
00:35:24
Plus, you know, everybody's monster.
00:35:28
Bob Iger, right now actually kind of like pushing things
00:35:32
further apart and making it to where he wants everybody to
00:35:35
focus on quality over quantity. So, you know, that's probably
00:35:38
one of the only. Good.
00:35:39
Shut his damn mouth in public like.
00:35:40
I said that's probably one of the only good things he's doing
00:35:42
because he's still, you know, persecuting everybody else in
00:35:48
the industry, so. A couple of jets there, Bob.
00:35:51
Oh, and then maybe you could give it to the writers and the
00:35:54
actors, and then you wouldn't have anybody on strike and you
00:35:57
could fly wherever you want. Yeah, sure, Why not?
00:36:00
There it's be. You're not gonna contact Curtis
00:36:03
Corona and get it? Get a information from him right
00:36:06
away, huh young Phil? I will ask him.
00:36:09
Once everything gets voted in because he doesn't work directly
00:36:13
for them but he works alongside those kind of guys.
00:36:16
So Beard. Yeah, I know that.
00:36:18
I know he said that he was saying that.
00:36:22
You know if if Marvel's VFX Cruz unionized, that just means that
00:36:27
everybody across the industry will start unionizing and that
00:36:30
means that that's that's an overall good is the way that he
00:36:33
said it. So yeah, that's what I was gonna
00:36:35
say. Oh, sorry.
00:36:37
No, honestly, I was like, no, I say it.
00:36:39
Yeah, I. Know you're gonna say, yeah,
00:36:41
because that's what he was saying.
00:36:41
It's it's a net good if if they can unionize with IOTTI, that
00:36:45
means that everybody else is going to be able to unionize.
00:36:48
And that just guarantees that the type of work that he does
00:36:51
gets recognized on a larger scale.
00:36:54
It's interesting like, you know, we said Marvel like, OK, so
00:36:56
that's 50 plus employees for Marvel that are gonna
00:36:59
potentially unionize, right. Like that's just under the
00:37:03
Marvel I guess umbrella, like, right.
00:37:05
SAG covers all of Hollywood for the most part, right.
00:37:08
Certain criteria. But like you know that Sagan.
00:37:12
So I was just wondering, like the writers to writers aren't
00:37:14
like we only write for Marvel or be only right for Disney.
00:37:17
They you know, right. I guess this is like the
00:37:19
beginning of something bigger. Yeah, I guess so it'll I.
00:37:22
Agree, and it's something that's needed, you know.
00:37:24
I think that it is going to be. Thing that everyone's gonna step
00:37:27
on because like OK, so SAG and after is to be separate unions
00:37:31
and they merged but they both had to start some right?
00:37:33
I think like after it was just like radio personalities.
00:37:36
Then it was TV personality because it was the first one and
00:37:39
then sagging along and it was like they I think they came
00:37:42
along pretty close together, but they're just two different
00:37:44
unions. And so I I feel like we might
00:37:47
get a couple of VFX unions and then they might merge together,
00:37:51
you know or they'll all just go under the same either way.
00:37:54
But I do think things are changing this is.
00:37:56
Exactly what time we've had all this turmoil and everything, and
00:37:59
now, you know, we're seeing this change.
00:38:01
People are waking up to maybe we do need unions because maybe we
00:38:05
do need to be protected from corporations because the
00:38:08
government's not protecting us from them.
00:38:09
So it's like, you know, it's accessed, right?
00:38:11
Right. Good point.
00:38:11
Good point. OK, let's move.
00:38:13
Speaking of potential, And so an end to the writers strike could
00:38:17
be getting closer. According to Deadline, the
00:38:19
Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and
00:38:23
Television Producers are resuming talks zoom with the WGA
00:38:28
set to deliver their counter to the AMPTP counter proposal from
00:38:33
last Friday for the report. Thus far, the tone of the recent
00:38:37
talks have been progressive, with both sides willing to
00:38:40
negotiate on key issues such as viewership based streaming
00:38:43
residuals, pay races, preservation of the writers room
00:38:46
and AI. That's good news.
00:38:48
It is. I think it is, I think it is.
00:38:50
I just hoping that the AMTP or whatever, yeah, right.
00:38:56
Oh my God. Yay.
00:38:58
That's two tonight. OK.
00:39:01
But I just hope they're doing this today.
00:39:03
I hope they're not doing it as some sort of like delaying
00:39:05
tactic or so they can put out more similar stuff.
00:39:07
So, right. I'm cautiously optimistic.
00:39:09
Yeah, we'll see. We'll see.
00:39:10
So I don't. Sound it?
00:39:13
The meeting comes after WGA leadership sent an e-mail to
00:39:16
members on Friday revealing that a meeting with the AMPTP
00:39:21
occurred earlier that day and resulted in a new package of
00:39:24
proposals from the studios. But I am.
00:39:26
The e-mail indicated that the WGA plan to respond to the AMPTP
00:39:31
sometime this week. All right, progress.
00:39:33
We'll see what happens. It is progress and I mean like
00:39:36
it's it's definitely something that is needed.
00:39:39
Hopefully it's something that the WGA, you know, I mean just
00:39:43
the members of the WGA get what they deserve, you know like
00:39:46
again, you don't have these situations where AI is writing
00:39:50
scripts for them, you know, where you have the pay raises
00:39:52
that they deserve the residuals. Again, preservation.
00:39:56
The writers room, you know, at making sure that there is a
00:39:58
minimum writers, there are minimum writers in the writers
00:40:03
room for certain shows and in different projects.
00:40:06
You know, I mean it's it's, it's things that are guaranteeing
00:40:08
worker writers and making sure that, you know, we don't get
00:40:12
less quality because AI takes over or something like that.
00:40:16
Yeah, yeah, it's I just well, I think that they underestimated
00:40:20
how the studio is underestimated how much people enjoy quality
00:40:25
entertainment. Well, a.
00:40:26
Funny, because I think they're like, well, we'll see what
00:40:28
happens with these writers. Go ahead strike, you know.
00:40:31
But all it did was like rally every other employee under this
00:40:37
sun and be like, oh, maybe we should do the same thing.
00:40:39
And now everybody, you know in the from their Thrones or just
00:40:42
like whoa, we what's happening today was the national day of
00:40:46
striking or something like and so they had like all they had
00:40:50
these like big unions with them that like are pilots of planes
00:40:53
and stuff. So it's like there were all
00:40:54
these people there. They had, we've had sanitation
00:40:57
workers and their union, they have them helping them out.
00:41:00
They've had all these other non Hollywood yeah unions help out.
00:41:03
So it's like they take a day off to help them.
00:41:06
So it's not just impacting Hollywood now, it's impacting
00:41:09
all that, it's impacting everybody.
00:41:11
I think it's just starting to show that the elite who who have
00:41:15
all the money, you know, they've been kind of coasting for the
00:41:18
longest time and people are 80s. Yeah, and and people are are
00:41:23
tired of it and they're tired of not being.
00:41:26
Able to pay for homes when you know, working your entire life
00:41:29
and not being able to have an actual retirement, you know, So
00:41:32
I mean it's it's just, it's it's people, it's it's overdue time
00:41:36
for people to be treated like people again.
00:41:38
Yeah, yeah. All right, let's keep you going
00:41:39
in. Uh, then let near near news.
00:41:41
I was gonna say do. You want me to read?
00:41:44
You can read this one. Go ahead pray girl, you got it.
00:41:49
So X-Men 97. Y'all, apparently voice cast is
00:41:53
being that is beginning recording soon.
00:41:55
Yes, we know that means the animation is probably pretty on
00:41:59
board because I have. They have stuff now to record
00:42:02
against. So still no official release.
00:42:04
Yeah, for the first season of X-Men 97 production on season 2
00:42:08
is already underway and the voice cast is currently
00:42:11
recording, so we know that's probably coming up soon.
00:42:14
Fingers crossed Lenore's on who prizes her role as Grow in the
00:42:18
series, recently confirmed that she's back in the booth to
00:42:21
record Rogue's dialogue for X-Men 97.
00:42:24
She re shared a post on the on X form.
00:42:28
No on X on Twitter, OK. She I know.
00:42:33
So weird on Twitter from an X-Men fan account announcing
00:42:37
that production on X-Men 97 had begun, and it came with the
00:42:41
following comment. Oh, yeah.
00:42:42
Heck yeah, sugar, we started. And I think you're gonna love.
00:42:46
Yeah. Sorry.
00:42:47
I wasn't expecting that. Yeah, I could have.
00:42:50
Do it again. Take two, take two.
00:42:51
I don't know if I can do this now.
00:42:53
You. Can you can do it on this name
00:42:55
here? Because he put X in everything.
00:42:56
So no, I'm not doing that. I just want to do the accent.
00:42:59
Oh yeah, yeah, sugar, we've started and I think you're gonna
00:43:03
love it much. Better.
00:43:05
I like it. I like it.
00:43:06
That was good. That was good.
00:43:10
But she's from Mississippi, so it makes sense, yeah.
00:43:07
A little bit more Mississippi than I liked, but it was.
00:43:25
Where Remy is clearly from, from Baton Rouge, you can tell he's a
00:43:31
little. But the way that she does the
00:43:15
accent, it's a little bit a little more Alabama,
00:43:17
Mississippi. Yeah, that's splitting hairs and
00:43:19
only people that do accents would know that.
00:43:21
I apologize. She's a lovely woman and I think
00:43:24
it's fantastic. That's home.
00:43:32
No, I'm kidding. He's actually actually do.
00:43:34
He doesn't really the guy that plays where he does a really
00:43:36
good job. With you guys.
00:43:37
His case is really good. Official Exopsis ex Noxus.
00:43:41
Official EXOPSIS EX synopsis synopsis Uh Storm Wolverine try
00:43:48
to continue the X-Men. Menito comes in and wants to
00:43:51
step up for Charles Xavier. Sinister comes in to try and end
00:43:55
the X-Men once. Considering the ending, right?
00:44:00
Like that Sinister got like kind of blasted in half by Cyclops,
00:44:04
so it's kind of gonna be interesting to see him come
00:44:06
back, Sinister was. It a no, it was him definitely a
00:44:09
clone. He he was still alive when he
00:44:11
when he got away, he was just like he's had a giant hole in
00:44:14
his side. Because Cyclops was like the
00:44:15
only person who could actually hurt him.
00:44:17
Don't we like, find out that sinisters like related to them
00:44:19
in some way? I thought we did.
00:44:21
The sinisters mutate. Obsessed.
00:44:23
Yes, sinisters mutate. So I think it's has something to
00:44:29
do. Yeah, he's he turned himself
00:44:27
into a mutant. I know it has something to do
00:44:31
with Scott. If there's something with Scott
00:44:33
that he's like related in some way, or there's some sort of
00:44:36
thing that, but there's want a reason that he's obsessed with
00:44:38
Scott Summers so freaking much. Yeah, and they can just be the
00:44:41
guy's abs. All right.
00:44:42
Expected to debut on Disney bus late in 2023.
00:44:46
Times tick in here, people. We're in August.
00:44:49
I know we need some announcements stat.
00:44:51
Like, hey, Disney, you need to get some announcements going.
00:44:54
Everybody's just so afraid to announce anything because it
00:44:56
strikes. The other thing is they can't
00:44:58
really promote, you know, like, so even if they announce it, no.
00:45:00
But they can't for animation. Yeah, animation actors, they.
00:45:03
Don't. Yeah, they can.
00:45:04
They can push this promote, yeah.
00:45:05
Animation. They can push, yeah, OK.
00:45:07
They're just not doing it because they're like, oh, we
00:45:09
don't know, We don't know. They don't want to get on the
00:45:10
bad side of. Something I think they may be
00:45:12
waiting it out to see because there's there's some tentpole
00:45:14
stuff, you know, like Asoka and Loki and stuff like even though
00:45:18
they said 20 late 2023, I think they're gonna space it out to be
00:45:21
like, you know what, we don't know what else is gonna be
00:45:24
ready. So we may just need to keep that
00:45:26
in the hopper, keep it on warm just in case we need something
00:45:29
to fill some holes for a little bit further down the line.
00:45:32
You know, late 2023 could also be the last day of December.
00:45:35
Yes, could still make good on their promise and.
00:45:39
Right. In teenage bug news, Blue Beetle
00:45:42
flew into theaters this weekend, introducing the fanhaver DC
00:45:46
superhero to new audiences. Before the film's debut, DC
00:45:50
Studio Co CEO James Gunn confirmed that Holo Mara
00:45:54
Duenna's portrayal of Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle is expected to
00:45:58
be part of the new DC Universe, which Gun is shepherding
00:46:01
alongside Peter Saffron. Ah, sticking around.
00:46:04
I like it. Yeah, I like that, he came out.
00:46:07
And announced and be like, you know even before the movie came
00:46:09
out and say hey, this is it, you know we'll get.
00:46:11
I think he probably got to see, yeah, you know, he said.
00:46:13
This is going to be like our spider man where people can jump
00:46:17
on board, you know, young and old.
00:46:19
Yeah, it's it seems a little new and fresh and not a lot of
00:46:22
baggage, you know, and let's run with well and it's not a
00:46:25
character that everybody's really that familiar with.
00:46:28
So there's, yeah, so I mean, as you said, there's not a lot of
00:46:30
baggage. So it is a new, like a brand new
00:46:33
shining character that people can latch onto and really use
00:46:36
them as their entrance to the. World.
00:46:38
The big thing also though is that specifically Jaime Reyes
00:46:43
had a big part of why new to happen, you know, so it's kind
00:46:47
of like Jaime Reyes as well as The Flash.
00:46:49
I mean basically the two of them changing things in the past and
00:46:53
the future and then of course Booster Gold had a big part in
00:46:57
that as well. But I mean like you know, like
00:46:59
essentially you know the the two of them are the reason that the
00:47:03
continuity in New 52 ended up becoming what it was.
00:47:06
So I mean. It makes sense that James Gunn
00:47:09
creating a new universe, you do the events of The Flash, which
00:47:12
he said no lead into why the universe is becoming what it is,
00:47:16
why it's being rebooted as well as Blue Beetle.
00:47:19
I doubt we're gonna see Black Beetle in this.
00:47:20
But I mean, like still, you know, like the.
00:47:23
I mean, we could see the Black Beetle.
00:47:24
You you don't know, right. We don't know that we're not
00:47:27
gonna see the Black Beetle on this.
00:47:28
Yeah, but I mean, like, you know, the Black Beetle is
00:47:31
basically the reason that, you know, they go back in time.
00:47:34
And this is in the comics. We don't know.
00:47:36
I haven't seen the movie. In the comics, Black Beetle
00:47:38
basically comes back in time because the whole point is in
00:47:41
order to save the future, you have to bring back the dead Ted
00:47:45
Chord who ends up becoming Jaime's mentor.
00:47:49
You know, so that was so special because I loved.
00:47:52
It yeah, you know, cuz when they killed Ted Chord in the comics,
00:47:55
it was like, OK, everybody was a little upset about it.
00:47:57
He was kind of a goofy character, but that's the way
00:47:59
they killed him too. Man, that was brutal.
00:48:03
It was so. Oh man, but I mean how many
00:48:06
times did Ted Cord get the living crap kicked out of him
00:48:09
though Cuz he get Tuesday beat the living Nikes out of him in
00:48:12
93. So I mean like.
00:48:14
What happened in Ted Cord? How do you die?
00:48:15
Spoiler alert spoil. He was basically beaten to A and
00:48:20
and he's the reason that the countdown started right was
00:48:22
because of that when he died it started the countdown through
00:48:26
the two and the mystery was the thing that the Booster Gold
00:48:30
needed to find out was who, right?
00:48:32
Boost and that's what gets to like.
00:48:37
It's like my second favorite behind crisis inventors.
00:48:34
That's how you get to final. It's a beautiful process.
00:48:40
There's a lot of people talk about like, you know, Booster
00:48:42
Gold and Blue Beetle and their relationship.
00:48:45
Like, you know, people talk about like, you know, cuz
00:48:46
they're best friends, but it's like, you know, romance that
00:48:49
they they were like borderline actual relationship kind of
00:48:51
thing. But like, you know, yeah,
00:48:52
because of like how close they were, right.
00:48:54
And it's kind of like Booster Gold and the fact that we're
00:48:56
getting a Booster Gold movie, right.
00:48:58
It kind of makes me hold out that we're gonna get Ted cord at
00:49:02
some point. But I would want Ted chord cuz
00:49:05
Ted chord. Blue Beetle had no powers.
00:49:07
He was basically a dude in a suit.
00:49:09
Yeah, verse is Jaime Reyes is Blue Beetle.
00:49:12
Jaime Race is technically the third Blue Beetle.
00:49:15
The first one had powers and had the scarab, right?
00:49:18
And then Ted Chord had the scarab.
00:49:19
But it stopped working at some point, right?
00:49:21
And then he just had powers and he had all this technology,
00:49:23
right? And then Jaime got the scarab,
00:49:25
Yeah. I'm trying to remember what
00:49:27
reactivated the powers on the on the Scarab itself.
00:49:30
I know I had to do some of something to do with Booster
00:49:32
Gold. Yeah, it was.
00:49:33
It was. It was him and his little robot.
00:49:36
Guy Skeets. Skeets, yes.
00:49:38
Ah, Skeet Skeet skeets he. Skeets but I mean like you know
00:49:43
that's what I like about Jaime Reyes is like you know the the
00:49:45
the the Jaime Rey storyline is where they explain the reach and
00:49:50
how they basically had a had a what was like an accord with OA,
00:49:55
right. Yeah, a deal with OA that they
00:49:57
would not invade planets and take over planets.
00:50:01
And the way that they did it was they.
00:50:02
Scarabs because they still want to take over the the entire
00:50:06
known universe. They sent scarabs to different
00:50:09
planets to infiltrate and the scarabs basically would create a
00:50:13
hero for the planet and they would get like the entire planet
00:50:18
to back. The hero and the hero secretly
00:50:20
work for the Reach, and that's how the Reach took over, Took
00:50:23
over worlds. Yeah, because they would just be
00:50:25
welcomed in because the hero and all that.
00:50:27
Right. You know, the the, the Young
00:50:30
Justice, of course. That stuff like that, never.
00:50:32
Right. Young Justice followed the
00:50:35
storyline pretty closely was it still had a lot of differences
00:50:38
in it cuz like Black Beetle was a completely different character
00:50:40
and Young Justice because Black Beetle in Young Justice was one
00:50:45
of the reach, whereas Black Beetle in the comics was
00:50:49
basically somebody that Jaime accidentally scorned.
00:50:53
Ah, OK, right. It's it's a guy that like, yeah,
00:50:55
the storyline was really, like, superficial.
00:50:57
But I mean, he became a really good villain, really good oil.
00:51:00
So yeah, and then, I mean that the storyline prevents.
00:51:03
Pretty superficial at first, Yeah.
00:51:05
See where venom is now? Right.
00:51:08
Well, like, you know, like like Booster Gold at one point was
00:51:11
was also Blue Beetle. You know, technically boost your
00:51:13
gold is the 4th Blue Beetle. So.
00:51:15
OK, let's stay in Beetle News. So DC Studios has finally
00:51:19
released its latest superhero movie, Blue Beetle, which will
00:51:22
introduce the world to the first Latino led superhero franchise.
00:51:26
According to Deadline, the budget for Blue Beetle is meager
00:51:31
for a superhero film costing $104 million.
00:51:36
That is pretty light for a heavy, right?
00:51:41
So Blue Beatles budget was so low because the studio
00:51:44
originally slated it to be released on HBO Max streaming
00:51:48
service until a successful test screening prompted them to
00:51:51
release it into theater. Interesting.
00:51:54
OK, yeah, so 104. Yeah, but let's see.
00:51:56
The movie earned 25.4 million at the box office and 18
00:52:02
from international markets for a total week of 43 not.
00:52:06
Two, I would say probably a lot of that 18 Brown Brazil.
00:52:10
Yeah, because I know they're they were super hype.
00:52:12
Out. Yes.
00:52:13
So right now they're there. I know, like a lot of outlets
00:52:17
are saying that Blue Beetle was a flop because it only made 25
00:52:20
in its first weekend and they're projecting that it's it's just
00:52:23
gonna get lower from there. It's not gonna make enough
00:52:25
money. I don't, I don't know because
00:52:28
everything that I've heard though, like all the reviews
00:52:30
have all been good. They're happy that that it's a
00:52:33
really good summer movie. It's really good comic book air.
00:52:36
It's, you know, it's like people have started talking about him
00:52:40
as the spider man of the right you stuff.
00:52:44
So I mean, you know, those are all good things.
00:52:46
Yeah, like I have. I have yet to see any negative
00:52:49
reviews on the movie itself. You know, I think I think a lot
00:52:52
of it has to do with the fact that Blue Beetle doesn't have
00:52:55
that big of a name in comparison to like some of the other heroes
00:52:58
that are out there. So I think people are hesitant
00:52:59
to go see it. But I mean like again like one
00:53:02
of the. Things that I saw, they were
00:53:03
saying like, Oh yeah, but it doesn't have that much
00:53:05
marketing. I I I would counter that because
00:53:08
everything that I see, every commercial I saw for like 2
00:53:10
weeks was so. I mean, like it's all over
00:53:12
Twitter. Yes, it all over Twitter.
00:53:14
I see Oliver. Instagram.
00:53:15
Yeah, I think they're just not looking in the right place.
00:53:17
Yeah, because that I've it may not be on TV, but thing is I
00:53:21
don't watch TV. So I mean it's kind of like,
00:53:22
yeah, you know, I watch streaming services, but I don't
00:53:25
watch like TV, TV. So I'm not seeing like 1000
00:53:28
commercials because they're talking, they're comparing it to
00:53:29
Barbie right now and saying that Barbie had this massive.
00:53:33
A push and like, you know, it was everywhere for a while.
00:53:35
Like every social media thing that I'm that I'm on that I that
00:53:38
I look at Blue Beetles all over it, right.
00:53:40
So, yeah, I think that Warner Brothers is just doing different
00:53:43
marketing for Blue Beetle because they know their markets,
00:53:45
you know, and they know who well and also you market Barbie
00:53:48
different humor, right? Beatle, the other thing is that.
00:53:51
The other thing is that, you know, again, I'm saying that
00:53:53
it's a flop. It's like, well, the the biggest
00:53:56
thing that they said about it is it did dethrone Barbie over the
00:53:59
weekend. Yeah, you know, so I mean, I
00:54:01
think that that's not a slouch move.
00:54:03
The fact that it did dethrone Barbie, which is, you know, a
00:54:06
movie that is not slowing down at all and a lot of kids at.
00:54:10
School. Yeah, that's like we're
00:54:11
transitioning out of summer. Exactly.
00:54:13
So you're gonna see a more steady weekend thing instead of
00:54:17
an up and like a huge first. We agree.
00:54:20
I don't see it either. Don't think it's gonna drop as
00:54:22
much. And I do think cuz like I
00:54:24
haven't seen it either. Normally I, you know me, I see
00:54:26
him on the Thursday before they come out.
00:54:28
Like you know I'm pretty good about that.
00:54:30
But no, we went and saw Barbie and says I had my son had seen
00:54:33
it so we went not together and it was so much fun.
00:54:35
I loved seeing it a second time and then did like a cute little
00:54:38
thing of like what movie am I gonna see?
00:54:40
Like I reported it and I haven't released it yet but just of me
00:54:43
in front of the Beetle poster doing things and anyway but um
00:54:47
but yeah, so I just. I think that it's a solid thing
00:54:49
and it's so film premieres and 1st weekends are so fickle
00:54:54
nowadays because everything is changing so much and being that
00:54:58
they only had 104 million to make it, uh, making a quarter of
00:55:02
that back basically is a good first week.
00:55:05
Yeah. Yeah.
00:55:06
So that's like that's a big deal.
00:55:07
So I definitely see this as as a good thing.
00:55:10
But I also want to say about I love the era of stories that
00:55:15
they're they're telling now. Yeah.
00:55:17
They're telling the stories of the era like of the new 52 up
00:55:20
countdown of all of that and those were such good stories and
00:55:25
like that authority early 2000s like those.
00:55:27
That's like when it was all like he and I just think that
00:55:32
choosing those stories is probably the best thing now.
00:55:34
The Supergirl world of tomorrow obviously isn't in that, but I
00:55:38
think that that story, that whole story that they have there
00:55:41
is beautiful and it needs to be told and it feels like it was
00:55:45
from that. So I think that it actually
00:55:47
said, I really, I'm so happy about era that they're doing
00:55:51
these just from everything I've been reading from James Gunn and
00:55:54
everything. And I'm like, I'm getting a feel
00:55:56
for where you're coming from. And I don't want to say
00:55:58
anything. And I've said it out loud,
00:56:00
don't. You make me alive.
00:56:03
Then you know what? It's not to mention that
00:56:05
Southern California was like on high alert for, like hurricanes
00:56:09
and floods and earthquakes. So.
00:56:11
Earthquakes, Yeah, I. Mean.
00:56:12
What else could go wrong for very quick, uh, SoCal weekend of
00:56:17
movies, you know. Yes, SoCal just got They just
00:56:19
got beat down this Weekend 0. Yeah, Boom.
00:56:21
Yeah. I'm not.
00:56:22
I'm not worried about Blue Beatle.
00:56:23
I think either way it'll it'll either break even or hopefully
00:56:26
exceed the one off war. But let's keep it going.
00:56:28
A lot of people are also like, because the splash thing.
00:56:30
But a lot of people are also. So they're like, they don't
00:56:33
know, you know, oh, is this movie gonna be Canon or not?
00:56:36
Should we even watch it? Should we bother?
00:56:38
You know, Right. And so I see that too.
00:56:39
Yeah, good point. I think it's important that
00:56:41
James Gunn came out and said like, yes, we're gonna keep
00:56:44
Jaime Reyes, you know, so we're investing in Jaime Reyes, so to
00:56:47
speak. OK, And we're investing in the
00:56:49
actor that played him in this movie.
00:56:51
Yeah, right. Like it's not gonna be some new
00:56:53
Chinese. OK, let's move.
00:56:54
On Yeah, no worries. I don't know if they're
00:56:56
investing in this one. Speaking of Disney, the Flash is
00:56:59
sprinting into streaming the Flash the last.
00:57:02
Studios film prior to this week's Blue Beetle is coming to
00:57:06
Max this weekend this weekend, August 20.
00:57:09
Three days on Friday. Yeah, crazy.
00:57:10
Like they didn't announce anything.
00:57:12
I'll probably watch it again. I am gonna watch it again.
00:57:14
I'm definitely it again. It was a good movie, I thought
00:57:15
it was. It was weird, but it was good.
00:57:18
I think it's really weird that they haven't, like, announced
00:57:20
anything about it. And then all of a sudden it's
00:57:22
like, or hey, how about this week, this week, Let's do it
00:57:24
this week. Yeah, yeah.
00:57:25
Because it was like, when's it coming out?
00:57:26
When's coming Mountain streaming it.
00:57:28
And it was like such a big deal. And then they just like it all
00:57:30
just kind of disappear. Like everybody just stopped
00:57:32
talking, right? And then suddenly it's like,
00:57:34
boom, it's gonna be. On exactly, exactly.
00:57:38
Want to do right now? Let's do right now.
00:57:39
Right. You.
00:57:39
Oh, you're asking me about this again?
00:57:41
Well, guess what. Button push.
00:57:43
There you go. Oh.
00:57:44
Man. I wonder if it's like a weird.
00:57:46
To the mom. I wonder if it's a weird
00:57:47
marketing push. Like, hey, maybe people didn't
00:57:50
come out because of, you know, for whatever reason, for Blue
00:57:53
Beetle. Maybe if we just throw the Flash
00:57:55
out there, people will watch the Flash and then they're gonna go,
00:57:57
well, I want more. I'm gonna go watch a Blue
00:57:59
Beetle. Yeah, but why didn't they do it
00:58:01
this weekend? I I don't have that, I don't
00:58:04
have that answer. OK, so so the answer to that is
00:58:08
they did it for next weekend because, all right, let's see
00:58:10
where it's at, see what Blue Beetle makes in the first
00:58:13
weekend and then we'll launch it and we'll launch Flash next week
00:58:16
just. Just in case it needs a little
00:58:17
push, little push, there you go. Push.
00:58:19
No, it's a mistake. Daslap is mistake.
00:58:21
Yeah, I mean that's. A lot of mistakes.
00:58:24
Back to movies that make money news.
00:58:26
You want to take this? 10 God Sure Barbie continues to
00:58:30
blow up at the box office and the latest numbers show that it
00:58:34
has surpassed The Dark Knight as Warner Brothers highest grossing
00:58:37
domestic movie release. What did you say that name?
00:58:40
Why did you say Barbie? My mother's name is Barbie.
00:58:46
Barbie has now grossed 537.5 million in the United States.
00:58:53
Wow, Way to go, Barbie for Nolan's Dark Knight grossed 500
00:58:57
or 6 million over the course of its theatrical domestic run, so
00:59:01
this actually makes Barbie the highest grossing domestic
00:59:04
release and Warner Brothers his. Phones.
00:59:07
And you know what people are getting out of this?
00:59:09
Oh, let's make movies about toys.
00:59:11
Now it should be Let's make movies about good women.
00:59:14
Let's just make good movies. Let's make movies about strong
00:59:17
women and have them direct by strong women.
00:59:19

00:59:30
possible act be the best possible characters they can be,
00:59:33

deserved. Not not only for the cast, but
00:59:58
also for Greta Gerwig. I mean, like, she she she
01:00:00
deserves, she deserves it. She's a good filmmaker, yes, you
01:00:03
know. She's got a good voice in a good
01:00:05
vision. Yeah, I was.
01:00:06
Gonna say, like, not just that she's a woman, but just in
01:00:08
general that she's a good filmmaker.
01:00:10
Yeah, cuz not all of her films are like, oh, women, which this
01:00:13
one spoilers. Um, I mean, is that in between
01:00:16
it shows both sides And I think that's the most important movie
01:00:20
is that it shows both sides of that like, oh, here's what a
01:00:23
matriarchy would be and here's what a, you know, patriarchy be.
01:00:26
But it does it in a lens of almost parity and so and I think
01:00:29
that's great. All right, I'm gonna give you a
01:00:31
question, but you don't have to answer this second.
01:00:33
So we can keep going because we have, we have another Barbie
01:00:36
piece. But like, I want you to think
01:00:38
about, OK, so Barbie. Barbie did amazing.
01:00:41
It's crushing everything. Is there another IP out there
01:00:45
that you can? Of that would also fit into this
01:00:48
mold or or is there a another franchise that like you know cuz
01:00:53
movie movie execs love to be like that makes money.
01:00:55
Let's find something else exactly like that, and do so.
01:00:58
What else? What other ID could fit this
01:01:01
Barbie mold? Or maybe a, I guess what I'm
01:01:03
asking maybe appeal to a female demographic, you know, that
01:01:07
would get people out to a theater like this.
01:01:09
I don't. I don't know what there would be
01:01:10
anything. The Barbie's such a rare right
01:01:13
in itself because, I mean, it's been around Barbie the doll has
01:01:17
been around for a very long time, since the 50s and then you
01:01:21
know, and so it's got that wealth of history, right?
01:01:25
And so I don't know if there would one.
01:01:27
I mean, if they if you wanted to do like a darker version of like
01:01:30
a Barbie thing, you might be able to pull it off with Monster
01:01:33
High like Monster High dolls. Um, no.
01:01:35
I feel like Monster High though, like the way that they would go
01:01:38
about that is able to end. Being like a, you know, like a
01:01:42
Paramount Bless kind of movie. Yeah.
01:01:46
I mean, I would. Yeah.
01:01:47
I that's like, that's why I'm saying like, I don't know if
01:01:49
they could replicate this with anything else.
01:01:51
I mean, yeah, because I'm thinking like, I don't know if
01:01:54
anything that has right, that much besides comics.
01:01:57
And there are doing comics. So it's like because there are a
01:01:59
lot of comics. Now if they did like maybe some
01:02:02
of the old romance comics and kind of like modernize them and
01:02:05
made that and also made it kind of kitschy, that would be really
01:02:08
fun. But I don't know if it would do
01:02:10
as well as this, or like a Nancy Drew or a Hardy Boys or
01:02:13
something, because we're all into this nostalgic, right?
01:02:15
Now either but either Gem, either Gem or Joe's in the
01:02:19
Pussycats but do it in a serious lens rather than it being paired
01:02:22
with. They did it when they did those
01:02:24
movies before. Yeah I think I like that.
01:02:27
I think Joe seeing the Pussycats, it was really I loved
01:02:29
Joe seeing the Pussycats when I used to watch it when I was
01:02:31
dead. I think that would.
01:02:32
I could see that I love Jim and I definitely think that movie
01:02:35
put out was crap and is not Jim at all and I'm very offended by
01:02:39
it so. Instead of trying to make it a
01:02:41
tween movie like they did right? Like, do a serious take, Like do
01:02:45
almost famous. Yeah, do almost famous, right?
01:02:48
Take it with like synergy. Yeah, like you do Almost famous.
01:02:51
You do a movie that takes it seriously and is like the
01:02:53
pitfalls of the music industry and kind of like, you know, just
01:02:56
have take Gem as a serious character and well, they, they
01:02:59
tried to do that in the gym movie.
01:03:01
Yeah. And it really did not work at
01:03:03
all because he did not know what they were doing.
01:03:04
He didn't have the essence of the characters.
01:03:06
I mean, it really is like band versus band.
01:03:09
I mean, it could be they could do it in a Scott Pilgrim.
01:03:12
By the way, yeah, this would battle the bands typing.
01:03:14
They don't totally do something like that and it would be great.
01:03:18
And also do it in a way where where people do it in a way
01:03:21
where where like there's the, the people who make the film
01:03:24
have a love for the property that's that's kind of where they
01:03:26
need to go. They're saying that we got to
01:03:28
make it rated R or we have to make it this or we have to make
01:03:31
it that. We have to have a woman
01:03:32
director, things like that. No, it doesn't have to be just
01:03:35
any woman. Like if you're gonna have a
01:03:37
female. Filmmaker, Yeah, but like, if
01:03:40
you're gonna have a female filmed filmmaker, make it
01:03:43
somebody who loves the property and he is going to do justice to
01:03:46
the property, the I think that's probably be any.
01:03:48
Proper. But I mean, Hollywood doesn't
01:03:50
learn that lesson, right? Hollywood is like, hey, uh,
01:03:52
Deadpool was successful because it was rated R No, Deadpool was
01:03:55
successful because it was made by somebody who loves the
01:03:57
property, you know? And that's, that's the whole
01:03:59
thing is and understands. Right.
01:04:02
The property, right. You know Star Wars loves
01:04:04
something and not understand it, so.
01:04:06
But yeah, yeah, like somebody who loves.
01:04:08
Understand. Right.
01:04:09
Felonian Favreau are another example of film makers that love
01:04:13
the property. So they will do the property
01:04:15
justice. That's why we've been getting
01:04:17
such good properties from them, You know, so I mean, that's
01:04:20
Sophia Coppola. Sophia Coppola is another woman
01:04:23
director who loves the properties that she does and she
01:04:25
understands what she's trying to say.
01:04:28
And so that I It's different because she's more indie and she
01:04:32
likes that, but she is, it's the same thing like the Russo
01:04:35
brothers too. Yeah, her.
01:04:37
And that was a little weird, but I mean.
01:04:38
Like, you know, I mean, not that.
01:04:40
I mean there, there, there is an aesthetic for that, for like the
01:04:42
way she didn't. Marie Antoinette.
01:04:44
Yeah, Antoinette. There's there's an aesthetic for
01:04:47
stuff like that. Just a lot of people in
01:04:48
suicides, Yeah, I mean yeah, they're more female driven.
01:04:52
But I I mean I really, I'm just saying that she does those
01:04:55
because that's what she loves to do and that's what she
01:04:58
understands and that's so her doing that is her living within
01:05:01
her list and like other directors should be given that
01:05:04
right as well whether you're independent film makers or
01:05:07
you're multi million dollar film, right.
01:05:09
Hopefully that'll. OK, can't get enough Barbie news
01:05:12
as I'm never. And never right?
01:05:14
So as of right now, there's no physical home release has been
01:05:18
state set yet for the film, so you can't buy the Blu-ray or DVD
01:05:22
still rocking DVD's. So there's no date yet.
01:05:24
The film is currently available on preorder on digital for 4K,
01:05:28
you know, from like Amazon and Google and stuff.
01:05:30
But I do have a streaming date for you.
01:05:33
So the Barbie digital release date has also been set for
01:05:37
September 5th. Nice.
01:05:39
Oh, that's. That's like weeks away.
01:05:41
Two weeks away. Yeah, that's like, I'm
01:05:42
surprised. Yeah, they're turning it so
01:05:44
quickly and maybe because they want to ride the pink wave into
01:05:48
subscriptions, right? I could see that.
01:05:50
That's the key. It's only gonna be on Macs.
01:05:52
So no Netflix. No, not anything else.
01:05:55
Only on Macs. Yeah, that's probably why
01:05:57
they're delaying the. The physical release, the
01:06:00
buying, the Blu-ray Yeah release is so that they can get the
01:06:03
subscriptions to get people watching it there first and then
01:06:06
they'll release. It Warner Brothers, I mean, but.
01:06:08
Been Warner Brothers strategy is they've they've they've
01:06:11
mentioned it like you know they don't want to do same day
01:06:13
releases anymore because they want to make sure that they get
01:06:15
their money in theaters. But they they changed their
01:06:18
window from what was it like it was 90 days to like 45 days and
01:06:22
now it's just like, well, whenever they.
01:06:23
Do it. I mean it seems like they're
01:06:24
like just doing it like within a month, you know, like like a 30
01:06:27
day release window. Well, yeah, I just.
01:06:29
I think that the reason that they had it on here and they
01:06:31
just left it is because they didn't think that Barbie was
01:06:33
gonna do as well as it's doing. And again, they're gonna learn
01:06:36
the wrong lessons from it, because that's the way
01:06:37
executives are. But.
01:06:38
I mean, again, you know, it's very successful though.
01:06:40
Yeah. No, I I mean, I, you know, I
01:06:42
understand. I mean, I get it.
01:06:43
I'm just saying that. I just feel like that's what it
01:06:45
was because. Right.
01:06:46
There's just I there's a lot, I have a lot issues with this.
01:06:50
Let's go ahead and move on here, all right?
01:06:52
A league of their own. So maybe Barbie should do a
01:06:55
baseball movie instead. Actually, there is baseball
01:06:58
Barbie and, uh, basketball Barbie.
01:07:00
All of the teams had best had their had a Barbie.
01:07:04
I actually have Spurs Barbie, so that's my favorite basketball
01:07:07
team. So yeah, I do all right.
01:07:09
A League of Their Own is officially done at Prime Video
01:07:13
on Friday. A report from Variety confirmed
01:07:15
that previous plans for a second and seemingly final season of
01:07:18
the series have been scrapped. This comes after the show was
01:07:21
renewed for shortened More Episode Season 2 earlier this
01:07:25
year after months of negotiations with Sony Pictures,
01:07:28
which included efforts to lower the show's licensing fee and
01:07:32
signing new deals for the series cast.
01:07:34
According to the report, the decision was made amid the
01:07:37
ongoing writers and actor strikes, which would have pushed
01:07:41
the timeframe for a likely season to debut into at least
01:07:44
2025, which I expected somebody pay quickly and start canceling
01:07:50
things, but I thought it would explore it with Amazon, right?
01:07:53
I'm actually a little surprised by this.
01:07:55
Because they also they also canceled Peripheral.
01:07:58
Yeah yeah that was the next thing is that it's actually it
01:08:01
got axed too. So A League of Their Own is says
01:08:05
is an only Prime Video show to separate fate previously planned
01:08:09
second season of peripheral has also similarly similarly been
01:08:13
scrapped. You know who's gonna be really
01:08:15
sad about that? Our friend David John.
01:08:17
Yeah. Yeah, that's like his favorite
01:08:18
thing to watch. And he's gonna be that's, I'm
01:08:21
sorry, David. Yeah he he talks he talked he
01:08:23
talked about that to us. The last show he was saying that
01:08:26
that was one of his favorite things to watch and it wasn't a
01:08:29
bad show. I I don't it's just kind of like
01:08:31
I think Amazon is just at the point where it's like OK well we
01:08:34
need to start scrapping stuff. Who has the lowest viewerships
01:08:37
right now? And.
01:08:38
They're just scrapping whoever had the lowest viewership.
01:08:40
Like whatever show, which is for sure.
01:08:42
It's a shame because a lot of shows like, especially like I
01:08:45
know Peripheral is from the Westworld people.
01:08:48
The executive producers writers and stuff.
01:08:51
They Westworld. The first season was a little
01:08:53
slow. Like, I mean it had a build up
01:08:55
to get to the final thing and that final episode of that
01:08:59
season, Whoop. Whoa wait, I doubt was a big
01:09:02
episode. Yeah.
01:09:02
But. But that first season really had
01:09:05
to get its legs and so not giving peripheral a second
01:09:08
reason I think is is a mistake. Yeah.
01:09:10
And League of Their Own. I just feel like it just may not
01:09:13
have been the time for it right now.
01:09:15
Right. Like it's too nostalgic.
01:09:17
It's like it was. It's nostalgic from the last
01:09:19
time we sell, you know? Right, because it was nostalgia
01:09:22
when that movie came out. You know, that movie came out in
01:09:24
the early 90s. It was already a nostalgia movie
01:09:26
to begin with. Yeah, but an existing IP, You
01:09:28
know, Women Empowerment. You feel like that.
01:09:31
It should have worked. I love the movie League of Their
01:09:34
Own. Whenever I catch it, like on TNT
01:09:36
or something, I'll leave it on. I love that movie.
01:09:38
Yeah, it's a really great. Was it Rosie O'Donnell?
01:09:41
Who else was in that? Madonna.
01:09:43
Madonna was in that? Wasn't Susan's Brandon in that
01:09:45
movie, too? No.
01:09:47
Gina Davis. Um, it was Gina.
01:09:48
That's who it was because you were thinking film and Louise,
01:09:50
yes. Yeah.
01:09:51
Or you were thinking of old girl Laurie.
01:09:53
Laurie Petty was in it. She was little sister.
01:09:55
She was Gina Davis's little sister.
01:09:56
Tom Hanks, of course, was in it. Um, yeah.
01:09:59
I love that me Penny Marshall was in.
01:10:01
It that's right. That's right.
01:10:02
Or she directed it. She wasn't.
01:10:03
Oh God, who was the the recruiter?
01:10:05
Jon Levitz? Yeah.
01:10:06
Jon Lovett. John Lovett.
01:10:07
It was such a good, but I have a feeling like to me that was kind
01:10:10
of like lightning in a bottle and it's it's that kind of it
01:10:14
worked with the people and the way that they their chemistry
01:10:17
together and everything and it's just one of those things that it
01:10:19
may not work with others. OK, let's keep it going.
01:10:24
You know what's stronger than good?
01:10:26
Streaming series Getting canceled Too soon?
01:10:28
Family tattoos. I don't got friends, I got
01:10:33
family. After being unleashed in
01:10:37
theaters earlier this. Nobody landing on home video in
01:10:41
recent weeks, Fast X is confirmed to be landing on
01:10:45
Peacock as its exclusive streaming home next month.
01:10:49
In addition, Fast to Fast XA number of other recent entries
01:10:53
into the Fast and Furious franchise will be available to
01:10:55
stream on Peacock, including Furious 7, Fate of the Furious,
01:10:59
and the spin off film Fast and Furious presents Hobbes and
01:11:02
Shaw. Since the platform launch,
01:11:04
Peacock has been a go to destination for fans of
01:11:07
Universal Pictures. Two releases fast X will race on
01:11:11
to Peacock September if he all this, all this content is coming
01:11:15
so fast to streaming. I think that's another reaction
01:11:19
like overreaction as well. I think all they're wanting
01:11:22
content on their streaming services so people won't be
01:11:25
won't get, so like, well, why don't you have anything new?
01:11:29
Right, right. Well, I mean, there is a window,
01:11:31
you know, like it's not, it's not in theaters anymore.
01:11:33
Like they're just sitting on this IP they spent a bunch of
01:11:36
money on. Why not throw it onto the
01:11:38
streamer and? Try to get subscriptions right,
01:11:40
you know, So we'll see. Anyway, this next one, it's a
01:11:42
little sad it's yeah, it's a Mario.
01:11:45
It's a. It's another Mario.
01:11:46
It's not. It's not me.
01:11:50
Nintendo shocked fans when it wasn't in announced that Charles
01:11:56
Martinet, the longtime voice of Mario, Luigi Wadio and.
01:12:00
Numerous other characters from Super Mario Brothers franchise
01:12:04
would be stepping away from his various roles.
01:12:07
Yeah, in lieu of the say, it ain't so.
01:12:09
Mario. Oh no.
01:12:11
In lieu of the shift, Nintendo said that Martinet would now be
01:12:14
serving as a Mario Ambassador, which would allow him to remain
01:12:19
tied to the series. In some capacity.
01:12:21
And while it's not here fully known what the new role will
01:12:25
entail, it seems that one that Martinet is taking on with a
01:12:29
fair bit of excitement. So I guess he's super excited.
01:12:32
Fun fact, he's from your neck of the woods, James.
01:12:34
The Philippines. He's from the Santa.
01:12:38
Oh, is he? I'm gonna have to look.
01:12:40
Yeah, Charles Martin. A man.
01:12:41
Uh, yeah. I I mean, it's a little sad that
01:12:44
he's stepping back and and whoever picks up that role is
01:12:48
gonna have big shoes to fill because he does play like half
01:12:50
of the characters in the Marvel Universe, Marvel in the Mario
01:12:53
universe. You know Mario, so you warrior
01:12:56
starting with. Him right while Luigi you know I
01:12:59
there's a couple other characters that he plays too but
01:13:01
I mean like no Charles Marnay is is.
01:13:03
I mean, he's a legend of, you know, I I love his like he had.
01:13:06
One line in, uh, in the Mario movie, and it was very evident
01:13:10
and I loved it was a guy that was making fun of Mario.
01:13:13
It was great. Oh, that's awesome.
01:13:15
Oh, you just gonna talk like a beast?
01:13:19
That's kind of what it was, is like it was, uh, they were they
01:13:22
were talking about how they just watched their commercial on TV
01:13:24
and he was like you think the accent was too much.
01:13:26
He goes no, it was a great. I don't know.
01:13:34
I mean, he seems he seems OK with it.
01:13:36
I mean, I don't know if it's forced or if he's like, you know
01:13:38
what, I just, I don't want to work as much and I just want to
01:13:40
have fun. He might not be able to do it.
01:13:43
Yeah, like he might not actually be able to physically do it.
01:13:46
I don't think that's the thing. I think now it's just he wants
01:13:48
to retire. I think it's just kind of like
01:13:50
I've been doing this since you know the early 90s.
01:13:53
I I think it's just like I want to hang up the mustache and that
01:13:56
and you know, just kind of, and I'm not an Italian and maybe I
01:14:00
shouldn't be playing this. I don't think.
01:14:03
The the whole thing on there because like everybody's just
01:14:06
like loves the character enough to Oh yeah, at this point that
01:14:09
was that was the new Joker. Yeah, it's like a French guy
01:14:12
playing an Italian that was made by Japanese people.
01:14:14
So that's some fusion food, right?
01:14:17
There, right? That looks like a Mexican.
01:14:18
So yeah, he's one of us. He's totally one of us.
01:14:22
But no, like again, I think, I think Char, I think Charles
01:14:26
Martin is just, you know, it's it's time.
01:14:28
He's like, you know, it's probably time to have somebody
01:14:30
else take up the character. I've played it for, you know,
01:14:32
over 30 years at this point. So yeah.
01:14:34
So yeah, I'm good. Then move on.
01:14:36
I'm gonna have some fun. Yeah.
01:14:37
You know, and still gonna be the ambassador.
01:14:39
He's still gonna be a Mario ambassador, which means he's
01:14:41
probably still gonna do, like, you know, when they do, like
01:14:44
launch events, he's probably gonna be there and like, hey, he
01:14:46
might go to cons. Yeah, exactly.
01:14:48
So I mean that that that could be that's.
01:14:50
That's a Legends contract. That's like, hey, we're gonna
01:14:53
keep paying you just to be happy.
01:14:56
You know, we're gonna keep moving forward like the
01:14:58
emeritus, like the CEO or director emeritus or something
01:15:02
like that's a that's like, hey, you've done a lot, you don't
01:15:04
want to mess with you. We don't want to FA.
01:15:07
And we don't mean to speak badly of us.
01:15:08
So here's some money every month.
01:15:11
Yeah. All right, let's keep it going.
01:15:13
Get your popcorn pants ready. Let's all go to the lobby.
01:15:17
Let's all go to the lobby have. Popcorn.
01:15:20
I have popcorn pants so you can meet.
01:15:22
Yeah, see, I. Don't know.
01:15:24
I'm probably gonna wear my popcorn pants tonight while I'm
01:15:26
watching, uh, a soca later on when it when it launches that
01:15:29
area, They just like pajama pants.
01:15:31
I don't What are these popcorn? Strict my popcorn pants are not
01:15:34
pants at all. OK, that's weird.
01:15:37
OK, that was TMI. No, James.
01:15:39
It's it's it's stuff. It's a popcorn pants are like
01:15:43
pants with like an elastic band right.
01:15:45
So you can the belly can breathe, is hard to get air when
01:15:48
you leggings. No, no.
01:15:50
Or stretch quest. Oh, so yoga.
01:15:52
Pants. Yes.
01:15:53
I'm not. Hey, I'm not personally wearing
01:15:55
yoga pants. That is your industry.
01:15:56
Lins not put the rumors out there that I'm wearing yoga
01:15:59
pants to the movies, but it's basically pants you don't mind
01:16:02
getting butter on. You know what I mean?
01:16:03
Like, see, I can't eat butter. On my pocket.
01:16:06
Oh, it gives me a stomach ache. I know, All right.
01:16:09
The oil in it, it's just like, yeah, I get like horrible
01:16:12
heartburn and everything. It's horrible.
01:16:14
I cannot eat. I try to eat popcorn at the
01:16:16
movies and I can't because it I like my my stomach for like 2
01:16:20
days. After I, I have the same
01:16:22
problem, but I still do it because America all right and we
01:16:26
have. To go, so let's let's do this.
01:16:28
So 3000 locations with approximately 30 available
01:16:31
screens across the country are expected to take part in the one
01:16:35
day event. National Cinema Day returns on
01:16:37
August 27th and if you don't see a movie that day at the theater,
01:16:41
tickets will only cost. You get this for dollars, all
01:16:44
movies and all formats including IMAX.
01:16:47
So IMAX movies are going to be $4.00.
01:16:49
That's. Insane.
01:16:50
That's nuts, right? When is the?
01:16:52
So the 27th is what? A Monday or.
01:16:55
Yeah, it's this Sunday, I think, actually.
01:16:57
Monday, Sunday, Sunday, if only we had Google any calendar in
01:17:02
front of. I know it is Sunday, so it's
01:17:05
this Sunday. Out that's that's.
01:17:07
Totally doable. So let's talk about the history
01:17:09
here, right? National Cinema Day is designed
01:17:11
to celebrate the power of movies, that to bring us all
01:17:14
together. But part of the design is also
01:17:16
obviously to get people into theaters, fill those seats, and
01:17:19
experience the magic of movies. According to the National
01:17:22
Association of Theater Owners, last year's inaugural National
01:17:25
Cinema Day resulted in the highest attending attended day
01:17:29
of 2022. That means there's going to be a
01:17:32
lot of popcorn and concession sales.
01:17:34
As for the movies, that will be available whatever is in the.
01:17:37
Theater, which means Barbie, Oppenheimer, Gran, Turismo, The
01:17:40
Last Voyage of the Demeter, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,
01:17:42
Mutant Mayhem, The Hill, and more.
01:17:44
Which means Blue Beetle. Blue Beetle, Yeah.
01:17:46
I'm not seeing Oppenheimer until November.
01:17:48
I don't care how how cheap ticket.
01:17:50
Which means, no, you're not going to see it in theaters.
01:17:52
That means if you're not watching it till November,
01:17:54
you're watching it on streaming. Well, I guess that's what I'm
01:17:56
going to be doing, because that's when Oscar music watched.
01:17:59
I totally didn't think this was a thing that I was going to be
01:18:02
real, but I just looked it up on Fun Dongo.
01:18:04
I looked up Blue Beetle Sunday 7. 20 showing at the UH, where's
01:18:09
this doco $4.00 ticket? You know, my city and state
01:18:14
probably isn't participating because why would we?
01:18:17
I'm sorry, I have a beef with our government like a beef with
01:18:20
our governor. Look it up right now on Dongo,
01:18:22
just like that's how you do. I'm just going to AMC.
01:18:25
That's how you say it. Fun Dong go.
01:18:26
Just like how Fun Dong go says Mongo.
01:18:30
You have to say it no but Mongo. Fun Dong every time I hear
01:18:33
Fandango of the Amazon. Every time I hear Fandango, I
01:18:36
think of the the ad when you look when you went theaters and
01:18:39
they had like the paperback. But but it's fun.
01:18:42
Don't go. Do you finish reading the rest
01:18:44
of us? I totally didn't even listen.
01:18:46
What did you finish reading? The rest of it?
01:18:48
I read the. Whole.
01:18:49
OK, good. I was busy looking at pickets
01:18:51
and confirming I was sleuthing. Let.
01:18:53
Me see, the one time I read a story, he's like, no, I wasn't
01:18:56
listening. I'm sure it went over really
01:18:59
well. It's hey, you sounded great.
01:19:01
OK, I will tell you this. So my the theater that we go to
01:19:04
the most, uh, huh, has very has been disappointing me.
01:19:07
It's AMC S Roads 20. Yeah, I'm calling you out.
01:19:10
Barbie was a big deal for a week there and then they moved it to
01:19:14
4 theaters and took everything away.
01:19:16
And Blue Beetle? I'm looking on the 27th.
01:19:18
It's in one theater. Oh wow.
01:19:20
What else is coming out? I don't even know.
01:19:22
But I'm just like, what the heck, AMC?
01:19:25
Probably because they they don't think it's doing well enough.
01:19:27
They. Probably didn't have enough
01:19:28
preorders. That's weird.
01:19:30
I don't care. Should look up what else is
01:19:31
coming out. We keep going.
01:19:32
Let's keep going. All right, Lucasfilm, we've got
01:19:35
a bunch of Star Wars news coming.
01:19:36
So Lucasfilm has announced that it's closing the visual effects
01:19:41
and animation studio in Singapore that first produced
01:19:44
the Star Wars The Clone Wars animated series.
01:19:47
Yeah, this is sad. It's sad, but you know,
01:19:49
honestly, it makes kind of make sense.
01:19:51
Lucasfilms Industrial Lane Magic visual effects animation studio
01:19:54
in Singapore, first opened its doors in 2000.
01:19:57
Or in order to work on Clone Wars, that VFX team was moved to
01:20:02
Singapore sand crawler building with Disney's Southeast Asia
01:20:05
offices in 2013. The building was then sold to
01:20:08
The Blackstone Group in 2021. Disney has put out a statement
01:20:11
about the iconic location closing, saying the company is
01:20:14
consolidating its global footprint and winding down its
01:20:18
Singapore studio due to the economic factors affecting the
01:20:21
industry. Oh.
01:20:23
God, it's more Bob Iger trying to get money in his pocket.
01:20:26
So the animation studio closed. Will will result in 300 current
01:20:30
staffers all losing their jobs. Oh like, hey, sorry, you're not
01:20:34
going to get moved, but you're going to lose your jobs.
01:20:36
So that's crazy. So Disney and ILM have addressed
01:20:39
the personal personnel changes in the in the statement, saying
01:20:42
that the company's plans to give employees as much notice as
01:20:45
possible and offer opportunities to relocate to one of the other
01:20:49
companies growing Studios. There are other ILM offices is
01:20:52
located in San Francisco, Vancouver, London, Sydney and
01:20:55
Mumbai. The company is also taking.
01:20:57
Steps to help employees find new employment, including holding a
01:21:00
targeted job fair with companies identified as having a need for
01:21:04
talent with similar skill sets. OK, so that thing, right?
01:21:08
Like that. That kind of softens the blow a
01:21:11
little bit. They're not just saying 303
01:21:12
hundred people, hey, whatever piece you're, you're on your own
01:21:15
piece, right? Like, at least they're giving
01:21:16
them opportunities to move to either other offices or find
01:21:19
jobs that are similar. If they don't want to move from
01:21:22
where they? Are I mean that's true.
01:21:23
So I mean that's that's that's better than than what Disney
01:21:26
could be doing because you know if the last time we heard of
01:21:30
layoffs that they did was at Pixar and they just let people
01:21:33
you know, so this, this, this is a better thing like they
01:21:36
probably learned from the last time or what it's bad PR to just
01:21:39
fire people. So let's let's just.
01:21:40
Well, and also, I mean, they've been in in the media in the ERS
01:21:44
for a while, like not them specifically, but Disney's
01:21:47
itself, like that, you know, And so I just see this also, you
01:21:50
know what I mean? So like, it's like, hey, this
01:21:51
would look really badly to actually do something so.
01:21:54
And you know, in a weird way like, yes, it's bad PR.
01:21:57
But it's also like, well, it, how worse it would have been if
01:22:00
we shut down like the San Francisco office and we lost,
01:22:04
you know, jobs in the United States.
01:22:06
So it's like, yes, sorry, Singapore, you gotta go.
01:22:09
Yeah. Spoiler alert.
01:22:10
We stopped making the Clone Wars, though.
01:22:12
We're on to life. We're on to live action.
01:22:14
There's. Well, and they're using other
01:22:15
animations. Do Yeah, so.
01:22:17
It's not like they're they're trying to bring in other
01:22:19
animators from other students, smaller studios to work.
01:22:22
That's what Horse Visions is about, you know?
01:22:24
I mean, they aren't doing as much animated or Star Wars.
01:22:28
Yes, they were. That kind of surprises me
01:22:30
because they just said that they're gonna be doing another
01:22:32
season of what was the what was the one?
01:22:34
No. Well, bad batch.
01:22:35
Yeah, there's that. But I mean like the the other
01:22:37
show visions. Oh, the young, the young.
01:22:41
Jedi Adventure, Jedi Adventures, the one that had Dooku.
01:22:45
What was it? Tales of the Jedi, Tails of the
01:22:48
Jedi. They just announced another
01:22:49
season of that. So it's like, huh, interesting
01:22:51
that they're closing that animation studio, but I mean, I
01:22:54
guess that just means they're gonna arm it out to another
01:22:56
studio. All right, let's.
01:22:59
You're right. I'm yeah.
01:23:00
That I mean those you as much as they look like Clone Wars, they
01:23:03
still had a different style, kind of their own style.
01:23:06
Yeah, they're so like, I don't know, it's, I feel like this
01:23:10
one, this like it's such a big studio and they're in that it
01:23:13
seems like Star Wars is going a little bit more gorilla with
01:23:15
their animation style nowadays and trying to get the most edgy
01:23:20
and like most like UpToDate. And that's why they're doing the
01:23:23
vision stuff. And I think that, I think that's
01:23:25
the new vision for Star. Wars is to find the more
01:23:30
upcoming people so that they can train them on how to do Star
01:23:34
Wars and you know, then they can get a job anywhere, You know,
01:23:37
it's like that. So I just feel like a little
01:23:39
more like that, so the. Baloney's talk about the So
01:23:41
that's why I'm really. But the real reason that they're
01:23:45
they're closing their Singapore office is because somebody said
01:23:48
that multiple characters were named Martha.
01:23:51
Wow. OK, what did you say?
01:23:54
We are not named episode anything to do with Martha.
01:23:53
That name all. I already be towing.
01:24:02
You guys didn't know I had tow power, OK?
01:24:04
Where are you going Coco? Where are you going?
01:24:06
Coco literally walked in here to say good night and reached
01:24:09
around me and grabbed my my stuffy of Chopper and he's
01:24:12
walking out right now. She's like, oh, I love you
01:24:15
daddy. Goodnight.
01:24:16
Grabbed Chopper and like I was rude.
01:24:17
She's like, oh, Dad, oh, you're in here.
01:24:20
Oh, I was just looking for. Yeah.
01:24:21
Oh, that's cute chopper, I think.
01:24:24
So funny. No, I'm not taking Chopper what
01:24:26
he's talking about as she's slow backs off.
01:24:28
All right, let's get into the next story here.
01:24:30
All right, so Census soca won't be in animation.
01:24:33
Dave Maloney has offered up new details and insight on the
01:24:37
series, saying that the story is all about master apprentice
01:24:41
relationships. And he also says there are going
01:24:44
to be a lot of epic lightsaber bites.
01:24:47
Oh my goodness, the trailer already seems like it.
01:24:50
Oh yeah, Well, that's why I said it feels more rebels, right?
01:24:53
Because even though the. Only had two Jedis.
01:24:55
They were a heck of a lot of sorts.
01:24:56
Like they use those lightsabers way more than they really should
01:25:00
have. They were very Rex.
01:25:01
But anyway, it's very much the idea of apprenticeship, the need
01:25:06
for those two groups to come together in order to pass down
01:25:09
the knowledge and help save the world.
01:25:11
In the case of Star Wars, I mean, it's true.
01:25:13
I mean, back in the olden days, you know, when I was a wee
01:25:17
class, they had apprenticeships, You apprentice to beings and you
01:25:21
had that, so you passed on knowledge.
01:25:22
So it wasn't just from books. It was also, you know, and so I
01:25:26
can see that being a big part of this show, she's really, and the
01:25:29
soak has been really steeped in Jedi lore and tradition for so
01:25:33
long that I think even if she does, if she's trying to get
01:25:37
away from it, she automatically goes into it at times.
01:25:40
Yeah. So I could see that.
01:25:41
But, but think about it this way.
01:25:42
It's also like. People that grew up
01:25:46
traditionally with like a religion, you know, because
01:25:48
their parents brought them into that religion.
01:25:51
But then they they find their own views and values and then
01:25:55
they have. To come atheists.
01:25:56
Atheists or whatever, whatever. Maybe, you know, they have to
01:25:59
kind of find their own path through life.
01:26:01
And that's kind of what a soca has been.
01:26:03
And that's kind of resonates with a lot of people these days
01:26:05
where it's like like me and I grew up Catholic.
01:26:07
Am I so Catholic? I don't know kinda.
01:26:09
My mom asked me I'm gonna say yes.
01:26:11
If somebody else asking, I'm probably gonna say no, you know
01:26:14
now I feel guilty for that's the same.
01:26:16
I raised you Catholic. I'm like, yeah.
01:26:17
Now I'm gonna feel guilty for that, you know?
01:26:19
Yeah, like I have my very I have different views on religion in
01:26:22
general. We're not gonna talk about that
01:26:23
show. I was gonna talk.
01:26:25
More about you all know. My father was Ira.
01:26:28
Look at that. We all, we all identify with
01:26:30
growing up Catholic. But but I was just.
01:26:33
Everywhere people. Catholicism, right?
01:26:35
I was gonna talk about like this entire like Star Wars in
01:26:38
general. Somebody pointed this out
01:26:39
online. Star Wars in general is a series
01:26:42
that predicates around apprenticeships in general
01:26:45
because there is a lineage that you can trace all the way back
01:26:49
for every era of Star Wars being linked to each other by the
01:26:53
apprenticeships. Right?
01:26:53
Psychias trained quigon quigon chain, Obi Wan, Obi Wan trained
01:26:58
Anakin, Anakin trained a soca, a soca trained Sabine.
01:27:02
And it's like, you know, or Sabine and and Ezra technically.
01:27:05
But I mean like you, you just look at the lineage of like
01:27:07
everybody, like just kind of going back to, you know, the
01:27:11
beginnings from episode one all the way through now to
01:27:14
properties now that are post Episode 9, you know, there's a
01:27:17
lineage of apprenticeships going from the beginning.
01:27:20
So it's it's awesome. And with doing the school, that
01:27:24
lineage lives on, right each person.
01:27:26
He trains, so Grogu has a little bit, right?
01:27:28
Oh, that's right. Sypho Diaz was trained by Yoda.
01:27:31
So I mean you. Have all Yoda so it goes back,
01:27:33
it goes up to from Yoda all the way down.
01:27:36
Yoda trains Duke. And Ezra, Rogu and all of the
01:27:39
right, any of the the students that have gone through this
01:27:42
lineage now, if they had just been trained by Yoda, it's not
01:27:45
part of this lineage. They have to have been trained
01:27:48
by someone that's either a Skywalker or someone who's
01:27:51
benefited from that. Actually, I missed a couple.
01:27:53
I missed a couple names in that list, right?
01:27:55
I started with Syphodiaz and went down to qui gone.
01:27:57
It was actually Yoda, Sipho Diaz, Dooku Dooku trained.
01:28:01
Qui gone. Yeah.
01:28:02
And then qui gone Obi Wan and going forward from there.
01:28:05
But like, you know, also Sipho Dias and kind of the
01:28:09
relationship that Anakin and Obi Wan have, Sipho Dias and and
01:28:12
Dooku had because that Diaz was Dooku's master and then they
01:28:15
became friends when they were both masters.
01:28:16
Yeah, no, I mean, it really is that.
01:28:18
It's like every generation brings another aspect into it.
01:28:22
It layers it and layers it not. Not to be like weird and mundane
01:28:26
about it. But it's kind of like when you
01:28:27
paint, yeah, you don't take, you don't strip off of the paint
01:28:30
before, just paint over it, right.
01:28:31
And so and that's basically what it is.
01:28:33
They, they add their own brush strokes, so to speak.
01:28:35
So I think Tapestry would probably have been a better
01:28:38
analogy and a more pretty one and probably more Star Wars
01:28:42
like. But I really feel paint.
01:28:44
I'm feeling paint, I know. So, so let's kind of move on a
01:28:50
little bit here. Just kind of going on, if you're
01:28:52
excited as we are for Asoka, release date time has all been
01:28:56
moved up, guys. So if you've been with us on
01:28:59
this episode as long, this long, we appreciate you.
01:29:01
If you're still in the chat, we love you.
01:29:03
Thank you so much for still being here, guys.
01:29:05
Star Wars Asoka is about to make a major change to the series
01:29:08
release strategy, which should be welcomed by the fans as the
01:29:11
series is now set to premiere on Disney Plus on Tuesday, today,
01:29:14
August 22nd, like right now at 9:00 PM Eastern Standard Time.
01:29:17
So it's actually already, uh, it's already been that for three
01:29:20
hours. Uh, but I mean.
01:29:21
Yeah, yeah, it already has been. I've done this the whole time
01:29:24
and I decided to you guys. Instead of a soca.
01:29:27
I know I'm not pretty. I think James is funny because
01:29:30
he's like, oh, she's already seen it.
01:29:32
Oh shit, right. I haven't seen it yet.
01:29:34
I just picked you guys over a soca.
01:29:36
So previously, both Star Wars and Marvel Cinematic Universe TV
01:29:39
shows would debut on the service at 3:00 AM Eastern Time when
01:29:43
many American audiences were asleep.
01:29:45
But now all subsequent episodes of the series are set to
01:29:47
premiere on Tuesdays at 9:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, 6:00 for
01:29:51
those of us on the West Coast. MMM.
01:29:54
Good time. Yay.
01:29:55
It's exciting. It's exciting.
01:29:57
I'm very excited for all of this.
01:29:59
I put on Twitter. I was like, I retweeted it.
01:30:02
And when I put on there, I was like, I'm excited.
01:30:04
I was like, I'm excited about this.
01:30:05
But I'm. I have a feeling that the Star
01:30:08
Wars fans are gonna find some reason to be upset about this.
01:30:12
I don't know what it is. Yeah.
01:30:14
I mean they're always. I mean the half of these, these
01:30:17
toxic fans are just pissed that Asoka got her own series because
01:30:20
the toxic ones don't like the reason it's like she's she's
01:30:23
been voted multiple times in the top three best characters in
01:30:27
Star Wars. Like she her character arc is
01:30:29
one of the best ones in the entire series and she's this her
01:30:32
first time. I mean technically the second
01:30:34
time but I mean like this is this is the first time she's
01:30:36
getting her own property that's a live action you know.
01:30:38
So you know Asoka's is ain't is an amazing character.
01:30:42
She's grown we've seen her growth from you know the
01:30:45
annoying snips and the the the name that shall not be mentioned
01:30:50
because it was only used in the movie and not anywhere else
01:30:53
after. And if you don't know what name
01:30:54
that is, it's when she called Anakin Sky Guy.
01:30:58
That was the best thing. And then she just stopped.
01:31:00
And she stopped because people hated it so much.
01:31:03
They're like, yeah, we should probably drop that, yeah.
01:31:05
We're not gonna do another Jar Jar.
01:31:06
Yeah, let's just not call him Sky Guy.
01:31:08
It's pretty terrible. Do you have all your all your
01:31:11
intrigues in for or the nerd out trivia or predictions?
01:31:15
Um I yeah. Because I pretty sure like fours
01:31:18
has. Like I know he was.
01:31:20
He had he had feelings about the The Secret Invasion one and he
01:31:23
didn't he didn't put one in. So I'm assuming.
01:31:26
Mean that he's not doing it. And then I know Captain Lady
01:31:30
Mood is she doesn't have Disney Plus.
01:31:33
So if she, you know, she's on the show and wants to do a
01:31:36
prediction, I absolutely will. But I haven't pushed that.
01:31:38
But yeah, no, I push you guys because I know you have thought
01:31:41
feelings. Is there, is there any
01:31:42
prediction or something where you're like when it could be
01:31:46
your own where you're like, yeah, I like that one, like
01:31:48
that's the one I think is gonna happen.
01:31:50
There I I think the reason that I love the game so much that we
01:31:53
do on The Nerd Out is because I just enjoy.
01:31:56
Where everybody comes from like because a series think, you know
01:32:00
it has so much potential and especially something like this
01:32:02
she's been so much. And the other characters that
01:32:04
are in it, you know, they're also going to be telling stories
01:32:07
too. And so there's a lot of
01:32:08
different ways you come from to tell a prediction on this and
01:32:12
they could all be absolutely true.
01:32:14
You know I mean that's and that's and that's what I love
01:32:16
about it. It's not really that who's gonna
01:32:18
win? Who's you know it.
01:32:19
To me, it's OK What creative things do the people like my
01:32:23
friends and family, What did they?
01:32:26
Or what's something I didn't think about that somebody else
01:32:29
did? Like a different point of view?
01:32:30
Yeah, it's all they get. It yeah, I mean like that like
01:32:32
the whole thing. I you had said something a
01:32:34
little bit. You guys talk much but.
01:32:36
I think, I think I'm really in it for actually winning, so I
01:32:40
can rub it in everybody's faces. I think whatever Met So said to
01:32:47
win the Secret Invasion game, I think I said the same thing and
01:32:50
I don't remember what it was. So I'm excited for for this game
01:32:55
and either way I think I'm gonna win.
01:32:56
So, yeah. So what I put on yours is that
01:32:59
we're gonna get Canaan somehow, like you said, either in a
01:33:01
flashback or force vision, Canaan is gonna show.
01:33:03
Yeah. And see, I think that's great.
01:33:05
Like, I'm taking Fred Prince Jr. at his word.
01:33:07
But then I'm also like, is this another Andrew Garfield thing?
01:33:10
Is he really the werewolf? And I'm like, I don't know.
01:33:11
But well, again, I didn't go that way again because like
01:33:14
Freddie Prinze Jr. the the issue is that he has like, you know,
01:33:18
kind of said multiple times that he will never do Star Wars
01:33:21
again, that the fans are too toxic.
01:33:22
He does not want to have anything to do with Star Wars.
01:33:24
So it's like, you know, a lot of people, well, at least the toxic
01:33:27
fans like expressed how much they hated Kenan, Canaan Jerry.
01:33:31
I thought Canaan Jerry was an amazing character.
01:33:32
Yeah, he I've loved him like I loved him.
01:33:35
He had so much doubt that he was training that his training was
01:33:39
leading to Ezra, like playing with Dark Side.
01:33:41
I mean, I mean like because he was a paddle on himself.
01:33:43
So it's just kind of like, you know, his whole thing was, I
01:33:46
love that arc, you know, I feel, I feel like he was, he was the
01:33:49
version of ROM Coda that we ended getting.
01:33:52
I like Romkoda better at. Like to be honest, I thought
01:33:54
Romkoda was a better character. But the the way that Freddie
01:33:57
Prinze played Canaan Jairus and the way that Canaan just kind
01:34:00
of, you know, reluctantly took on the role of being a master
01:34:04
and through his own meditation became a night, you know, where
01:34:08
he was a Padawan before. You know, just kind of like self
01:34:11
realization and learning and and communing with the Force.
01:34:14
I love the story arc of the character because he becomes,
01:34:17
you know, something that he feared that he would never be.
01:34:19
Yeah, and he had to get like that the first couple seasons.
01:34:21
He really had to get out of his own way.
01:34:23
Oh yeah, because he. Yeah that was the best part and
01:34:26
that's why when he when they blinded him and then they made
01:34:29
him and then he sacrificed himself.
01:34:32
I that was the end to the art that needed to happen right.
01:34:35
It was something that that he need that.
01:34:39
I mean it honestly it needed it honestly needed to happen and if
01:34:42
he doesn't come back I'll be I'll be fine with it.
01:34:44
If he does come back, I think that would be great.
01:34:46
I think that if he came back, he would probably discover that the
01:34:49
fans like him a lot more now he did when?
01:34:51
Came out. Exactly.
01:34:52
And it's it's Star Wars fans have to complain about
01:34:55
something. They have to be mad about
01:34:56
something. And then eventually they they
01:34:59
like it. Yeah, it's like trying to get a
01:35:01
toddler to eat. Yeah.
01:35:02
It could be the best thing in the world.
01:35:04
Like their favorite dish that they've never ever had before
01:35:06
and trying to get him to eat it is horribly.
01:35:08
It's impossible. And so it's but it's that.
01:35:09
But eventually they do eat it. And so it's like, you know, it's
01:35:12
that. And yes, I did do what I said
01:35:15
What I said. Yes.
01:35:15
I compared you all to toddlers because give everybody a chance,
01:35:19
OK? No, I agree.
01:35:20
I agree. Cain and Juris is a great
01:35:22
character. You know, I mean, as much as
01:35:24
everybody loves Ezra Bridger, I like Cain and Juris better.
01:35:26
I I honestly did. Ezra Bridger wouldn't be so
01:35:29
likeable without pain. Yeah, you know.
01:35:31
Again, annoying little brat. Again, like, you know, I make my
01:35:34
comparisons to General ROM Cota, you know, and I love General ROM
01:35:38
Cota. I think he was a great
01:35:39
character. It's it's a it's it's a it's a
01:35:41
travesty that he got written out of the cannon.
01:35:44
But I mean, like he was such a good character, but like Cain
01:35:47
and Juris pick up where like my love for that character, where
01:35:50
it left off because he had a lot out of like the same traits is
01:35:53
as Romkota. You know, like Romkota is Kane
01:35:56
and Jairus in another universe, right?
01:35:58
If Kane and Jairus would have grown up to become a knight
01:36:02
during the Clone Wars, he would have become General Romkota.
01:36:04
Yeah. Oh yeah.
01:36:05
No. And I mean, I I don't you know
01:36:07
obviously there are types and people are gonna fall into them.
01:36:10
Right. And I can see that I and I I can
01:36:13
see where you're coming from. Absolutely.
01:36:14
And I agree with you. But I just, you know I don't
01:36:16
know I his whole thing about not once everybody knew he was Jedi.
01:36:21
He didn't. Back to his original name,
01:36:23
because he didn't feel like he was that person anymore, right?
01:36:25
And then at the end, with the low wolves and Doom and all
01:36:29
that, and it being so symbolic, I to me, it was just really
01:36:32
emotional. I cried.
01:36:33
I, like, cried my eyes out. And told you Rebels was good.
01:36:37
I don't. Hold you.
01:36:38
Yeah. No it's it was fantastic and but
01:36:40
yeah so I just really, I think Ainen deserves to be in live
01:36:44
action. Yeah.
01:36:44
And how they make that happen. I'm OK, yeah.
01:36:47
I would love for Freddie Prinze to come and reprise that role.
01:36:50
And I see, I think. I think he's gonna do it and
01:36:53
just be like, you know what? You know, I listened to Filoni.
01:36:56
You know, he took care of me. I just did it because, you know,
01:36:59
I did. It not doing any work with it
01:37:00
or. Exactly.
01:37:01
Whatever happens, happens. Plus, you know.
01:37:03
Like Liam Neeson with. I mean, also the proof in the
01:37:06
pudding is is Christensen. Yeah, exactly right.
01:37:09
Because everybody hated him as Anakin Skywalker.
01:37:13
He came back, uh, for the Obi Wan series.
01:37:16
Everybody loved it. He wanted to come back to play
01:37:19
with you, right? That's the honest thing that
01:37:21
came out. But that's The thing is like now
01:37:23
we know he also came back for a soca.
01:37:25
We've seen him in the trailer you know and he and he said he
01:37:28
did say that he based his character on on the Mclone Wars
01:37:31
version of the of of that. So you know it's it's great that
01:37:35
he, you know, he recognized that hey everybody loves the Clone
01:37:38
Wars version better. Let me base my version of the
01:37:41
character on this version that people liked instead of doing
01:37:43
what I did, which was funny because that character was based
01:37:46
on what he did anyways, just, you know, it was just very, very
01:37:49
cyclical the way that that character has become and that
01:37:52
we're we're seeing that and now everybody loves Hayden
01:37:54
Christensen as Anakin Skywalk, right.
01:37:56
So. Yeah, I think that we'd get the
01:37:58
same thing for Freddie Prince. That's what I'm thinking.
01:38:00
And I would love to see Freddie Prince Jr. like it.
01:38:02
Live action. Will be like somebody.
01:38:04
I think somebody must have like communicated that to him or
01:38:07
like, hey, the these cons, you know, it's all about
01:38:10
celebration. It's not people hating on you
01:38:12
and in your face, it's. Like his wife is Buffy.
01:38:15
Exactly, exactly. So I think people are going to
01:38:17
be like, no Freddie, you know, you're you're only looking at
01:38:20
the toxic fans, whereas. There's amazing fans out there
01:38:23
that love your stuff. He's got a wrestling promotion
01:38:25
that he's trying to put together and he needs money.
01:38:28
You know Disney, Lucas, that'll come.
01:38:30
He's part owners in the Premier network.
01:38:32
Part, I think part of the reason, I mean, he's a very
01:38:34
private person anyway, but the reason is, is that his dad died
01:38:38
and it traumatized him. His dad was on a TV show like,
01:38:41
you know, so I mean. The number one TV show.
01:38:44
Um yeah. So I mean I there he's got a lot
01:38:46
of other stuff going on with himself I think as well and and
01:38:49
he's stand up guy I've always thought he was.
01:38:51
And if I I think that Sarah Michelle Gellar picked the
01:38:54
perfect person for her, I think they're really couple also
01:38:57
representing the Latinos out there.
01:38:59
So yeah. Absolutely.
01:39:00
What I'm gonna say now is probably the most important
01:39:03
thing that I'm gonna say in this entire episode.
01:39:05
So I need both to listen to me, OK?
01:39:06
Look at me and listen to me. Look at me and listen to.
01:39:08
James OK Like James, we need just in the show so you can go
01:39:12
watch. So the most important thing in
01:39:15
the entire thing on the shows, we got merged, people.
01:39:21

01:39:22
But yes, we have merch. You have much people come buy a

01:39:46
that are coming that is backwards right now.

01:42:55
squirrels. All right.
01:42:56

01:42:59

01:45:02
All right? I've been in that.
01:45:03
I've been in the chat. Yeah, exactly.
01:45:05
It's like fair. That's fair.
01:45:07
That's good. Well, because every time I'm not
01:45:09
in the chat, something like explodes or you guys do crap
01:45:13
about wonder. It really comes down to whenever
01:45:15
you're not in the chat, there's like shit talking about Wonder
01:45:17
Woman the entire time. We just need something
01:45:19
explained. We just need something to play.
01:45:21
Then it's like, no free girl. You chat and I'm like, I'm in
01:45:24
the middle of a movie. Frey, since you're the only one
01:45:28
that has other stuff outside of what we do, tell everybody every
01:45:32
other place that you can. They can find you here.
01:45:34
Well, so I am here on Tuesdays. On Saturdays, ID.
01:45:39
Saturday morning, nerd out on Kyber Kay Productions.
01:45:41
Uh, where I'm even more chaotic than I am here.
01:45:44
I don't know if that's possible, but it does happen.
01:45:47
I also mod for our Discord channels, so I'm odd for
01:45:51
distance learning. I'm on for Five or K
01:45:53
productions. I'm also a mod for The Nerd
01:45:56
Haven, which is a long story, but it's about four or 500 nerds
01:46:00
that are together. They're in a community and we're
01:46:02
very positive when we talk about spoilers about all the shows.
01:46:06
DC, Marvel. All of it, like we have.
01:46:08
A, we nerd all three more channels.
01:46:10
So like, I mean it's it's all there.
01:46:12
So we like to have a lot of fun. We're planning on doing some
01:46:15
events and stuff, so that will be fun.
01:46:34
Yeah, yeah. I do have a show on my channel
01:46:18
on YouTube. My channel is at Fray Girl and
01:46:22
their first episode is up. It is called Classified and it's
01:46:25
where we classify your favorite fandoms into D&D classes.
01:46:29
The first episode is about the bad batch, so it's right up Star
01:46:33
Wars. And.
01:46:35
So hey, real quick. We had a good time watching that
01:46:39
show on the way home from Oregon.
01:46:41
So you got you and Liam you and should do.
01:46:44
Kept U.S. company the entire way home.
01:46:45
So much appreciated. Good, great.
01:46:47
I'm glad. We enjoyed it.
01:46:48
It was awesome. Well, it's fun and it's a it's a
01:46:50
past project of both of ours because I come from at from it
01:46:53
at the fandom side and he comes from it at the Dungeons and
01:46:56
Dragons side. So I'm more of a novice when it
01:46:59
comes to D&D and he's more of the, you know, master part.
01:47:02
You know, he's like the Dungeon Master and everything, so, so he
01:47:05
goes into this like subcategories, whereas I really
01:47:07
just like the main categories and talk about it.
01:47:10
And so I think it's a good, you know, hey, you don't have to
01:47:13
really know so much about either one.
01:47:15
Yeah, right. It's just kind of, it was fun
01:47:17
because you had like a like an overview feel and you came out
01:47:21
things from a different perspective.
01:47:22
Whereas he was like looking at things and trying to put things
01:47:24
in like, hey, what is this, uh, rogue mastermind?
01:47:28
He's a rogue mastermind. And then you had a specific
01:47:30
take. I'm like, and it was cool seeing
01:47:32
him go like, Oh yeah, I could, yeah, I could totally see that
01:47:34
too, you know? Yeah.
01:47:36
The the paladin. Yeah, like that.
01:47:37
Really. That got him out of left field.
01:47:39
And he was just like, yeah, Oh my God, I totally see that.
01:47:42
That left field too, because the James saw me like react.
01:47:45
Like what we were actually talking about that we're like,
01:47:47
can there be evil paladin? Or is it considered evil because
01:47:50
they're only doing it for the they're just cause?
01:47:53
Like I said, it depends on the God that they follow.
01:47:54
An evil God, yeah, they would be an evil talent.
01:47:57
And so, I mean, it's like it really just depends, you know,
01:47:59
on how it is. You got those people that are
01:48:01
really fanatic. And I that's what I saw him out
01:48:03
as was a fanatic or the emperor. And so that would be why he
01:48:07
would be piloted. I just like that, Like, you
01:48:09
know, doing that. Hey, well, you know what really
01:48:11
fits? It's this, I know it's not
01:48:12
traditional, but it's this. And I like that we come together
01:48:15
and talk about, like, OK, this is the master list.
01:48:18
This is the, I think we, we call it something else.
01:48:20
I think we call it like the Jedi Council list or something.
01:48:22
But it's the list. Like, OK, you think it's this.
01:48:26
I think it's that. Could it be something different
01:48:28
or do we just want to pick? And so you'll see as we go
01:48:30
along. There's going to be sometimes
01:48:32
when it's going to be like, you know, maybe we should pick a
01:48:34
third one because I don't think they're one that these really
01:48:36
fit. And so you'll start seeing stuff
01:48:38
like that. So it's fun, but these are
01:48:40
conversations that he and I have.
01:48:41
And I'm like, let's just record it, Yeah, yeah, we just, we
01:48:44
talked about. That's great.
01:48:45
That's great. Well, thank you guys.
01:48:46
I'm glad you liked it because I was like, Oh no, like, I love it
01:48:49
so. Much totally enjoyed it and I
01:48:51
like that you um, that it was produced and you had it cut and
01:48:54
it was great. That was like boom, boom, boom,
01:48:55
boom, boom. He did all the editing.
01:48:57
On it, Yeah. You you kept surprising James
01:48:59
when uh with the Gunji. With when Gunji would pop up, he
01:49:03
said. What the hell is happening right
01:49:04
now? Gunji, dude.
01:49:06
Yeah. I had to put the phone down, but
01:49:23
Gunji was scaring me. Expect if we, if we got a bit or
01:49:08
something, expect that there's probably gonna be something
01:49:10
that, like we were doing the supplemental ones for some
01:49:12
reason. Pocket sand.
01:49:13
We were doing a bit about your pocket sand.
01:49:15
Yeah. And he came up so much it was
01:49:17
like, you know, there was just like it was It's really funny.
01:49:21
So I don't know what. Like by the third one I'm like,
01:49:25
OK, this is a yeah, he made him like bigger.
01:49:27
Yeah, he turned him and stuff and it was just like then, Gee,
01:49:30
you know, I was like, oh, when I saw when I watched first time, I
01:49:33
actually told me had it smaller and I was like you to make it
01:49:35
bigger because people can't see. Make it bigger.
01:49:39
James won't get scared. All right, Anything else we're
