[00:01:39] His beard is not existent and he's invisible. His beard is not existent so he can't be cast as Dumbledore. It's not Javis 5000! It's okay. He's not on screen right now. He'll be here in a moment. Yeah. His beard could be cast as a Harry Potter spider. Yes. It's young Phil.

Yeah, no, that's true.

[00:09:41] podcast website. So it's going to be a lot of fun stuff. Uh, well again, more, more internet presence. It's what we want. Right. Yeah. More. More. More. Hey, so did you know in Britain when they're, they like something, they don't say that it's addictive. Like, Oh, I'm so addicted to this or, Oh, it's addictive. They call it more. It's more. So they'll say like food is more ish. And it means you want more of it. Like you're going to eat more like that whole, you can't eat just one Lay's potato chip. Yeah.

[00:10:11] They say that's more like, Oh, it's more. More ish. And so now every time I think about that, I think more ish. Oh, we want more ish. Adam, is that racist? Are they like talking about mores or. No, I didn't realize that this is what was going on. But then, then I realized more ish. I actually looked it up and it was like, Oh no, it's British like, or, you know, I really love it. It's something you want to eat a lot. That does make a little bit more sense. I suppose.

[00:10:41] Well, let's jump into this. It's British sense. It's British sense. It's a, wow. What is Anglican? Anglican slang. Yeah. My Anglican sense is tingling. My Anglican sense is tingling. Well, ladies and gentlemen, let's go ahead and move on here. It is now time to talk about the geek end update. Well, ladies.

[00:11:10] Our team crew does a really good job on those desks. I know, right? Well, ladies and gentlemen, over the weekend, this was on Saturday. Sat Geeks had an unbirthday party, Mad Hatter tea party. That's hence the joke that, you know. Yeah. A curious topsy turvy world where nothing is as it seems. And the party is just getting started.

[00:11:32] Sat Geeks on birthday party was a night of drag, magic, drinks, and desserts all wrapped up in a wonderland themed extravaganza. A drag spectacular hosted by the one and only Lotus house party and featuring some of the most dazzling queens in the kingdom. I actually saw some pictures and we do have a video that I'm gonna play as soon as I'm done with all this. Uh, Vixen, the forbidden magician's white rabbit magic show.

[00:11:59] A live auction of madness hosted by Lotus house party. Uh, this high energy auction featured rare geeky treasures, collectibles, and surprises you didn't want to miss. And if you missed it, you, you missed out. And of course there was a, uh, cosplay and costumes were encouraged. Uh, and I, I, from the pictures that we saw a lot of people dressed in a lot of whimsy, a lot of fantasy, uh, mostly in wonderland inspired, uh, costumes.

[00:12:26] Uh, so before we bring on our, um, our, our representative, uh, of the Sat Geeks, uh, let's, uh, of course James is a representative of Sat Geeks, but he's not here at the moment. Right. Uh, um, we're gonna, we're gonna play a quick little video here of, uh, the experience that, that they had over the weekend. So let's check this out. All right.

[00:13:14] Well, ladies and gentlemen, here representing Sat Geeks, it is the one, it is the only, is the amazing, and hopefully we don't make her laugh so hard that she snorts across the entire screen. It's Sandra Betty. Hey. Phil, you know, I already did that last night. I don't think I need to tonight. I'm pretty sure Jackie killed you last night. Yeah. It's pretty funny.

[00:13:43] It's pretty good. Yeah. So. Okay. All right. The video was amazing. Um, what was your favorite part of the on birthday party? The drag show really for me. Okay.

[00:14:10] So I need you to tell me who was the biggest queen, who was the biggest diva and who do you want to travel the world with and just go a on every single country? I mean, they were all awesome. Mm hmm. And I think I'm a little biased with this one because she was Marceline and I cosplay as Marceline. Oh, wow. Yeah. Well, yeah. Her name is Amelia Moore. Okay.

[00:14:39] And she was the one who did the Marceline. Now, when they announced her, they said, does anyone like Avengers time? And out of nowhere, Bruce comes running up next to me to watch to see what it was. And we're like, Oh, her outfit makes sense. Now she's Marceline. Yeah. That's awesome. So was she like the biggest queen? Would you say? No, because there was another one who was actually dressed as the red queen. So. Okay. Now that would make them the biggest queen. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:15:09] That's like the inception of Queens. Yeah. Drag queen, red queen. It's a whole queen thing. All right. Yeah. All right. Who do you want? Who would you want to travel the world with? Oh, that would be our host Maya. Cause she is awesome. Okay. I was talking to her when we were like doing prep work for the show and they're just an awesome person. They're really good vibes. They're very nerdy, which we love of course. Of course.

[00:15:36] And they're considering also joining a set geek. So that's a plus for us too. Oh, that's pretty cool. Yeah. That's awesome. Okay. So then who was Bruce's favorite? Cool. He didn't have a favorite of the, any of the special guests. Really? His favorite was another cosplay friend of ours who Jeff can't remember their names. So we just call her the sticker lady. Oh, okay. Well, you know, right. That's there.

[00:16:05] Cause she always gives us stickers and because she loves Bruce so much, she'll make special little sticker packages for him with special little stuff in it all the time. And they were both dresses Cheshire cat. Like the kid Cheshire cat. You saw in the video that that's him. Jeff made him that Cheshire cat for the show. Nice. Oh, that's awesome. That's adorable. That is. That's adorbs. Okay. So, all right. See, we talked about that. All right.

[00:16:31] So what is this Vixen the forbidden magician's white rabbit magic show? That's a lot of words. So it better have been spectacular. Oh, oh my God. This person. I just like, I don't know how she does it, but she contorts and bends her body in ways you're like, is she human? Like maybe she had some ribs removed or something. Yeah. Or something, or she got some, you know, ball bearings put in her spine. Cause I don't know how she does it.

[00:17:02] So, so does she do magic or is it just contortion? It's, it's mainly contortion and light ups and cool, cool stuff. Illusions with hula hoops and things like that is really fun. Oh, that's awesome. I love hula hoop action. That's like one of my favorite thing. Um, all right. Okay. And then there was the live auction, right? Yeah. What kind of stuff was up for auction? Oh, we had, um, signed, uh, signed autographs, games, toys, vintage Barbie dolls,

[00:17:33] and lots of other little, like rare stuff and paintings. So like one of the, one of a kind kind of stuff. And yeah. Oh, was it all like donated? Was it a lot of corporate stuff or? Majority of it was donated. Oh, okay. Awesome. Hey, donation can be awesome. Uh, we love donations, uh, more for the, for the amazing work that Saks, Saks does. So did you bid on anything?

[00:18:02] Uh, no, at the end I bought a teapot cause Bruce really, really liked it. Oh, Hey, there you go. That's not a bad thing. So did it, did that auction get a little like, was it like paddle auction or was it like a silent auction? It was a silent auction. That way everyone else can still enjoy the show and walk around and bid on what they wanted. And it was a pretty good turnout. That's awesome. How, like how many people do you think made it?

[00:18:30] Oh, at least 40 people or so. I mean, I was running around everywhere too. So I could not keep track. Okay. So was tea consumed? There was iced tea. Okay. Cause I was, my next question was going to be what brands of tea was consumed? Were they good? It's iced tea. And was it Dubby? No. It wasn't Dubby. If Dubby sponsored us, I mean, we could have, but we didn't have time.

[00:19:02] All right. That's awesome. And so cosplay cost, cosplaying costumes. So did everybody dress up that was there or like, were there a couple that didn't? Except for one person who is curiously not on the stream right now. Yeah. One member of the board who was actually there was not dressed up. And there was a couple of people who came cause they, they just came to support us cause they were family and they, they came to support, but they didn't necessarily dress up.

[00:19:28] But a majority, like 98% of everybody there was dressed up in some fashion. Nice. That's awesome. That is so amazing. All right. Okay. Do you have a spiel for us? I asked you a lot of questions. So I just thought maybe you might have something you want to say. About the show that it's great and everyone should donate to set geeks on May 1st for the big day of giving. Oh yeah. Big day of giving everyone. May 1st.

[00:19:54] If you have anything that you have that you would like to donate that's appropriate. Yes. I know. I know our audience. Appropriate. It's money donations. If they go to the set geeks Instagram, there is a link for it. Yay. Go to the set geeks Instagram. Sorry to put that in the chat. Not me. Not, well not right meow.

For those of us who are in the know right now, both Ricochet and Samantha Irving are going to be there.

[00:25:35] I kind of want to go just to meet Samantha Irving more than Ricochet. Because Samantha Irving is hot. That's true. Samantha Irving, his now wife was, I'm a little upset that she's gone too. Because I felt like she was probably one of the best ring announcers since Lin Lin Garcia.

[00:32:13] All right, ladies and gentlemen, let's jump into the first story here. Uh, get your clown noses nerds. It's going to get good. Uh, in reality who we need to call for this. Uh, I, I need to call graveyard cause this is one of his favorite movies. So get your special sock out nerds. It's going to get good. A new report has surfaced claiming that the classic eighties horror film, killer clowns from outer space might finally be getting a remake treatment.

[00:32:39] MGM is developing a new take on the cold horror comedy and none other than Ryan Gosling is reportedly attached as a producer. Neither MGM nor Gosling's team has confirmed the project. So take this one with a big clown nose size grain of salt killer. That's a big grain of salt. It's very, I mean, considering if you've ever seen the movie, it would make sense. Uh, killer clowns has exploded in popularity over the past decade.

[00:33:05] Uh, they become a staple at universal studios, Halloween horror nights, uh, scored their own video game and spawned an army of collectibles, Funko Pops, t-shirts and other nostalgia fueled merchandise. So tacos on the table. Will this remake happen? Or is Ryan Gosling just clowning around? Ooh. Tacos on the table. He's just clowns. This is such a cult classic. I am not a fan of clowns, but I am a fan of this movie. It's, it's.

[00:33:35] I don't like this one as much as I like, um, the tomatoes movie. I, I would say that I, I do enjoy, uh, attack of the killer tomatoes, uh, a lot better. I always mix that movie with, uh, fried green tomatoes, which are two completely opposite movies. That is a hell of a, nobody's trying to remake tomatoes. That's a hell of a, of a like, man, that's not, you do not want to confuse them too. I always wish. Cause there are such different movies.

[00:34:04] Like, like one's a drama and the other one is like the most outlandish, you know, out there. Absurd like absurd horror movie. Uh, this, this movie is why I'm afraid of clowns. Like jaws is the reason why I'm afraid of like the ocean and sharks. This is why I'm afraid of circuses. These clowns were so scary, but yet charming at the same time. Ugh. This movie gives me nightmares. This movie. Not even just clowns, just circuses. Yeah.

[00:34:32] No, this movie made a lot of kids afraid of clowns. Like this movie is the reason that there's a lot of clown trauma. Uh, I am, I'm afraid of clowns regardless. So. Okay. I can attest to that. We went to a, a very small regional kids park that had like roller coasters and stuff. And it was clown thing. The first time he'd ever been around clowns. But, uh. Um, we did ride some rides, but he didn't want any clowns anywhere near him.

[00:35:01] And I, in, uh, from this movie have gotten, um, I went the opposite where I want to attack clowns. Cause I assume all clowns are evil. It's, it's like, um, it's like happy Gilmore. You're going to die clown. Right. And so normally clowns run when they see me. So. God. Let's keep you away from the Cirque des Soleil shows. Okay.

[00:35:29] Uh, anyway, my, uh, murdered, uh, well-made up tomato tacos are on the table. Okay. I was going to say, um, a shout out to another friend of the show. If you go and listen to the episode of they mostly pot out at night, uh, Salem, this is, this is one of Salem's lowest rated movies of all time. Wow. He hated it. Like in a great way. No, in a bad way. Like a golf score. Like when your golf scores low. He absolutely hated this movie. Whoa.

[00:36:00] About this movie. What I felt about eyes wide show. He probably did. Are there clowns in that movie? Screw that. No. Well, Tom Cruise is in it. That's that's clown. I see. I see. I see where the joke went there. All right, well, let's move on guys. Oh, my tacos are on the table for this. I think it makes sense. I think Ryan Gosling was, uh, he's mentioned in the past that he was a big fan of the franchise. Uh, so I mean, it makes sense for him to go and produce and make another movie. Uh, I'm, I'm afraid like I want it.

[00:36:29] I still want it to be like a shitty bad, you know, like, like low budget movie. Yeah. Just like updated shitty low budget movie. Like the, like Dr. Who, how they updated Dr. Who, but it still is kind of got that Dr. Who feel about it. Yeah. Yeah. You've got to have the essence of the movie. Yeah. Cause I mean, what made this movie was that it was a terrible low budget movie. Um, so yeah, so let's, uh, let's go ahead and move on to the next story here. All right. My tacos are on the table. Oh yeah. Yeah. Tacos.

[00:36:58] So it's Finn going to threaten to shoot someone's loft cat. We haven't heard anything solid about Sean Lewis, Star Wars movie in a while, but now we might have an update. Jonathan Tropper, who's writing the project recently told screen ran. I'm excited too. I hope it's on the way sooner than you think. The movie is reportedly set after the rise of Skywalker, which is relatively uncharted territory. One thing we know for sure is they haven't actually started shooting the movie yet, but there's a lot growing behind the scenes. If choppers, if Tropper's comments are any indication, they might hint at a 2027 or 2028 release.

[00:37:29] So talk is on the table. Will Chad Levy, Star Wars actually have a plan? No. I thought that that was, uh, I not tropper, but trooper. And I was, I thought that was hilarious. And now I realize it's tropper and I'm not as excited as I was. He is a, he is a tropper keeper, tropper keeper. I'm all in my tropper keeper tacos.

[00:37:54] Um, I, I, I do believe that my tacos are on the table. I do believe that they're going to fast track Sean Levy just because he is, as far as Disney goes, he's gold when it comes to what he works on. Um, you know, I mean, he took a rated R concept that they thought was not going to perform well and killed it. So, uh, I, I wouldn't, I, I do believe he is going to, uh, surpass all expectations with

[00:38:24] this movie. He's kind of got that outside of the box kind of, you know, coming at it from a different angle kind of feel. Like, I feel like James Gunn did that a lot. They, they remind me of each other, even though they're totally different directors, but they have that kind of, I'm coming at this from a different angle view. Yeah. And I really enjoy that. So I think that, that he could do a really great job or a really horrible job. And you know what? I'm okay with either. I'm ready.

[00:38:53] I'm my body is ready for this. Okay. Yeah. My time's on the table. I think, I think he's going to be able to pull this off. You know, if anybody, the way he pulled Deadpool and Wolverine together and made it connect to the MCU. Like, are you kidding me? Let, let this guy cook. He, this guy's, this guy's going to figure it out. Speaking of cooking, uh, my tacos, uh, like Darth Maul have been cut in half, but like Deadpool, of course, are we growing themselves very slowly?

[00:39:23] Uh, not too. How they were. Your tacos have mechanical spider legs for a season. Uh, yeah. Well, what the, the leg part. So like there's, there's like two parts of it and then there's a whole, yeah. You know, it's all, anyway, we don't. Combo play. I get it. How are your tacos doing? Oh, my, I was the first one to say it. I said, my tacos are on the table. Oh, I just was checking in on your tacos, buddy. Yeah. No, my tacos are good. My tacos are delicious. You worry about your tacos. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know what tacos I would love?

[00:39:53] Some Saurian tacos. Oh, yes. That's right, it's the Woman of Tomorrow has been shared online and it gives us another look at Millie Alcock suited up as the girl of steel alongside the mysterious character believed to be Jason Momoa's Globo. He already said he's Globo.

[00:40:22] He said it on Kimmel. He's really excited about it. He said he's been filming scenes. We all know this, that frickin Jason Momoa and that's Millie Alcock in that cute little Supergirl thing. But here's what I want to know. Is that a flashback or is it in the actual storyline? Right. Oh, wait, I have a tacos on the, oh, I don't have a tacos on the table thing. Oh. Let me come up with one really quick. Okay. Tacos on the table.

[00:40:49] Will Lobo eat that tank that's on the screen? Will he eat that tank? Is the main man gonna frag Supergirl? Right. Will he say bite me fanboy? Bite me fanboy. I can already hear him saying it. Right. Exactly. Um, there is another picture, uh, that like, you know, somebody like doctored one half of it and then, but, but like there's a picture of Momoa on a bike.

[00:41:15] Uh, and we assume, I mean, that's, that's another reason I chose this picture. Cause this is the one that's actually like out there as a, uh, as a set leak. Yeah. Um, but, and you can see her and him both. Right. Yeah. So yeah, I'm, uh, I'm excited for this. Uh, you know, just because I, he fits Lobo so much more than he does Aquaman. Oh yeah.

[00:41:38] I think every person that were, that was like when, when he first came into the DCEU, they were like, oh wow. Oh, I wonder who, uh, Jason Momoa was playing. And we were all like Lobo and then they went Aquaman and we went, what? Yeah. Right. Like he already looks like Lobo. Like every version of that character, he looks like Lobo. Yeah. And he loves Lobo. Yeah. He has all the Lobo comics. So like, he's so much.

[00:42:08] He's already Lobo without Lobo being Lobo. Like he just, he's just like walks around and gives off Lobo energy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Now I liked him as Aquaman. I liked him as Aquaman. I didn't dislike him as Aquaman. I'll give you that. I did like kind of like the twist on the way they did Aquaman. I mean, who, what, why would you make a white guy? Sorry for all the white people out there. Why, why would you make a white guy? Uh, the king of the sea. And then like, how does it not make sense to make a Polynesian, the king of the sea? Exactly.

[00:42:38] Yeah. Unless you're a young Alan Richson and then maybe, maybe you can play Aquaman. Alan Rich in his Aquaman. Like he, he looks like a comic book accurate Aquaman, but he also looks like comic book accurate. Every character. Yeah. Here we go on the Alan Rich in his Batman. Alan Rich in his Batman. He's Bruce Wayne. Oh my God. Soaking what tacos have been called out of the sea. Sorry. Soaking what fish tacos have been called out of the sea, uh, but are now turning into Lobo. They're no, they're, uh, they're being cooked with, uh, uh, with, with intergalactic grenades.

[00:43:10] Oh, yeah. Yeah. Fragging. Friggin' frangin'. Anyways. Uh, so let's go ahead and move on. Unless anybody else has any, uh, the cesarian tacos. Cesarian tacos. Uh, does anybody else have any comments on Lobo here? No, but you know what? I want me some champions. I mean, young Avengers. I mean, what? In the not so young Avengers rumors.

[00:43:35] Hailee Steinfeld has made a big splash as Kate Bishop in the Marvel series, Hawkeye. And last time we saw her was the end credit scene of the Marvels when Ms. Marvel set out to assemble a team of champions and she sought out Bishop a la Nick Fury. Uh, so, uh, Seinfeld, Seinfeld, Steinfeld commented on the rumor of her appearing in Avengers Doomsday.

[00:44:01] I'm excited about the idea continuing to grow with a character like Kate, especially in something as huge as the Marvel Cinematic Universe. You get to go back to your family. You get to go back to that little home that then becomes part of this grander picture. I love that character and I totally understand why she is so loved. Talk is on the table. Will we see Kate get her purple back in Doomsday? Oh, and James is gone. We lost to James. All right.

[00:44:28] Well, I, again, I am 100% on board. Now, you know, no, I don't think she's going to be in Doomsday. I think that, um, there's going to be filler in between and she ends up in, in secret wars. Oh, yeah. Just because there's so much going on in Doomsday. It wouldn't make sense to just kind of throw her in there. Um, this is a four and a half hour movie. I don't think it's going to be. I hope not. My bladder cannot take it. It's going to be Doomsday part one and then part two.

[00:44:57] No, I mean, that's what secret wars is supposed to be. No, I know. Yeah. Uh, sack Deadpool saying she will 100% be in secret wars and then. Oh yeah. Yeah. She's going to be in secret wars. That's that's that there's no doubt about that. Um, I just think so. I think we're going to get a lot more, uh, of the younger heroes in secret. Yeah. I think there's way too much going on in Doomsday for them to just kind of like waste Kate Bishop for, uh, for doomsday, like, you know, thing. Uh, yeah. Yeah.

[00:45:26] I don't, I don't think they're jumping on the young Avengers just yet. I think young Avengers are going to show up in, um, champion. Do that. I'm still calling them young Avengers. That's yeah. Uh, okay. Champions are going to show up in secret wars. Uh, the young Avengers will be in secret wars. Yeah. Apparently without Patriot though, which is weird to me. Yeah.

[00:45:50] I, they're going to use secret wars as like a vehicle to get him in there. That would make sense. Just because like they, um, somebody else was talking over the weekend and they were saying like, Oh yeah. So this is the list that we, um, that, that supposedly is supposed to be, uh, the young Avengers and Patriot's name wasn't on there. And I was like, it makes no sense. Eli has already been introduced in the universe. Why would you not do Eli? Yeah. Well, I mean, maybe he'll come later. I don't know. I mean, who knows?

[00:46:19] There are a lot of younger, um, heroes that they've been introducing those. So who knows who we're going to get as the first incarnation and then who's going to pop up later. Right. Yeah. So we don't know, but I, I, I think she's coming back. I think she's going to be in secret wars. I don't think she'll be in doomsday though. Yeah. Yeah. So I guess that my purple spandex tacos are on the table. I was gonna say, I guess that puts the majority of us with the tacos off the table. Yes. Uh, yeah.

[00:46:47] Uh, my, I'm just gonna say my, my, my, my trick tacos are off the table. Oh, there you go. Trick tacos. That was good. That was very succinct. Small. You can do it. You could do that in every single one of them. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate it. All right. Trick tacos that, uh, have, you know, he's, he's just completely in love with. Yeah. Oh no. I, you can be in love with both of them. It's fine. I don't feel like Haley Stein. It's fine. All right. I'm going to have to get off the stream here.

[00:47:16] We're going to keep talking about like two women at once. This is ridiculous. It's like, you know, okay. Oh, oh, oh, it's way more than two. Yeah. Hot Pakistani girl and hot, uh, and hot Filipino girl. It's perfect. All right. Let's, uh, let's go ahead and move on to the next story. Speaking of hot girls. Speaking of mean girls. Uh, will Matt need the services of alias investigation soon?

[00:47:43] Ever since the announcement that daredevil was returning to the Disney plus series daredevil born again, there has been speculation about whether or not we would see the other defenders from the Netflix series return, especially after it was revealed that John Barenthal's Frank Castle slash Punisher would be appearing in the Charlie Cox sled show. Pretty sure it's Charlie Cox, Vincent D'Onofrio. I don't know. I don't know. Uh, Kristen Ritter who played Jessica Jones and Mike Coulter who played Luke Cage have

[00:48:12] expressed their willingness to return, but have been adamant about not knowing if that was a real possibility. Now that this week is ushering in the season one finale. That's right. Nerds daredevil born again, season one finale. It's tonight. You can watch it after you watch this. Um, Ritter has amped up rumors. Again, fans may be able to look forward to her return in season two of daredevil born again.

[00:48:38] The chatter began when Ritter shared a photo of daredevil actor, Charlie Cox reading Ritter's recently released novel retreat. The caption in the photo reads at Kristen Ritter hashtag nailed it. I mean, I don't know. Nailed it. Just like her nails. I know. Uh, while this doesn't prove anything except for the fact that Charlie Cox is a good friend, maybe it means they're also spending time together on the set of daredevil born again, season two tacos on the table.

[00:49:07] Now is David Tennant coming back or what? Uh, I, I kind of need purple man in the MCU. That would be great. I no tacos on the table. Cause it's such a lie. Daredevil's blind. How is he reading a book? Gotcha. Uh, no, actually. Okay. So you know how daredevil would read a book is he can, because of his enhanced senses,

[00:49:34] he can actually feel the, the, the raised letters on the paper. Okay. Well there goes, there goes my joke. My blind tacos are on the table. Your blind tacos. His tacos apparently can see. All right. Uh, now my tacos are on the table. Uh, I know the fans have been, uh, clamoring for Kristen Ritter to come back.

[00:49:57] Um, I know that a lot of, uh, Kevin Feige said that if this was successful, he wanted to bring Kristen Ritter back. Well, definitely. And she's the perfect Jessica Jones. She really is. Yeah. So my, uh, soaked in all the alcohol that has been destroyed in alien investigation. Tacos are on the table. Okay. I think we're good. Are we good? I think we're good. All right.

[00:50:25] Well, let's go ahead and move on to this last rumor here. Mom, the jaws of oblivion are opening again. After years of rumors and speculation that Bethesda was working on a remake of the landmark role-playing game, the first screenshots of this brand new version of the Elder Scrolls IV oblivion have been found as fans started digging around the developer's website ahead of a supposed release next week. Back in 2023, a Reddit user claimed to have info about an upcoming oblivion remake.

[00:50:50] Later that year, a production roadmap for Bethesda's, for Bethesda linked during a Microsoft FTC trial, and it was mentioned in oblivion remake. That was, oh man, okay. Uh, in January, Kotaku was able to verify the game's existence with several sources, and it was reported in March that the RPG remake might arrive very soon via a surprise launch. Now the screenshots of the yet-to-be officially announced oblivion remake have appeared online, and it seems that we are very, very close to this thing being released.

[00:51:18] It's believed the remake is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and will feature a WiiWorke stamina system, better sneaking, improved locking, a new archery system, and a spruced up HUD. So, talk is on the table. Are Sean Bean and Patrick Stewart gonna get a chance to die in the same game again? Uh, 100% they are coming back to die in this game all over again. Sean Bean is like, another property for me to die in? Let's go.

[00:51:49] Yeah, it's gotta be. It's gotta be. Like, they have to let him pay him extra not to die in them. I'm very excited about that, so... I can tell. I'm the resident Elder Scrolls nerd, so... Or maybe they pay him extra to die. Alright, so explain the game to me. Is this... sounds like this is a big deal, but it's a remake? It is a remake of, uh... I don't know, when did it come out? Like early 2000s? Yeah, Elder Scrolls has been out forever. Yeah, of the game right before Skyrim. Mm-hmm. So, uh... Oh, Skyrim.

[00:52:20] I will... I... you will play it at some point. Yeah. Or play ESO online. Yeah. So what does it mean when it's a remake? It's the same game, right? Probably... I don't know. So, typically... typically with remakes, uh... they... they put it... put it in a new game engine. So, you know, they already said they're putting it in Unreal 5. Uh... they will usually upgrade the graphics. And then a lot of times they'll do upgrades to either UI experience.

[00:52:49] So like, you know, like movement and camera and things like that. Uh... and they tend to update, uh, AI. So like a lot of times, um... any, um... any... any characters that you fight and stuff like that, they'll update the engines in that way. I mean... you know, more challenging. Or like NPCs or something? Yeah, the NPCs. They'll... they'll make it so it's more challenging. So like, you know, uh... maybe they add in the Nemesis engine and these things like actually think independently on their own. You know? Yeah. Things like that. That'd be very cool. Yeah. If they added the Nemesis engine to it, it'd be over. That game would be ridiculous.

[00:53:19] I am just disappointed that this is coming out and Elder Scrolls 6 is not. Well, Elder Scrolls 6 is still in development. So, I mean, like, they're still doing... No, no. No, I know. But it's been a development for how long now? 10 years. Yeah. It's officially at 10 years this year. This is what I'm saying. Yeah. Hey, look, it took 10 years to get Daredevil born again. There's still both. I understand that. I have no opinion on this. I mean, my opinion is if Sean Bean's in it, I guess... I guess he has to die, right?

[00:53:47] Yes, both Sean Bean and Patrick Stewart are in there. Here's what I want to know. Can we kill Sean Bean in this? Uh... In a roundabout way, kind of? Can we kill Patrick Stewart a la Wanda in... Uh, no. Oh. But you do watch him die in front of your eyes. Yeah. Is he the king? Emperor, but, you know. Oh, because you know it's good to be the king. Yeah. What if Sean Bean does it on purpose? Like, he writes it into the contract. Like, I have that. I said that! Like, I don't want to do all these sequels. Right. You have to kill me off.

[00:54:16] I want to die in the first movie or the first season. Right. Yeah. Telling you, if he survives the whole thing, you have to pay him more money. That's like new in this. He's like, uh, what character did die off? I feel like they pay him extra in order for him to die now that it's been a thing. Yeah? No. No. And he's just like, okay, well, yeah, no, I don't want a character that lives the entire way, so pay me extra and I'll die off in the first season. Sorry, my point is, my tacos have become an avatar of Agatosh and are currently ascending off the table.

[00:54:47] Oh. Ascending? They're ascending off the table. Yes. Wow. So they're not on the table. Well, they were on the table, but now they're floating above it. Oh. Sacked Apple saying, can someone name a TV show or a movie where Sean Bean hasn't died? I can name one. I can. Yeah. I can name at least one. I can name a game where he has and it's civilization six and it's because he's the narrator. Uh, Snowpiercer. He doesn't die in Snowpiercer. How about this? That's a TV show. I can name a movie. Oh, what movie? Doesn't he die in Snowpiercer?

[00:55:17] No, he doesn't. The Martian. Yeah, I think he does. Oh, that's right. He doesn't die in The Martian. He doesn't die in The Martian. Because I was anxiety ridden the whole way through that movie because I assumed he was going to die and he was on earth. So I was like, something bad's going to happen. It's like a rocket is going to fall on him or something. Yeah. He was in a room with a huge glass window and I thought something was going to just throw itself through that window and just impale him. I mean, seriously. Yeah. Real quick.

[00:55:45] Did Sean Beans Wilford die in Snowpiercer season four, episode seven? The answer is yes. Sean Beans Wilford died in Snowpiercer episode four, or episode seven. Yeah. But that's also like, wasn't that the last season of the show? He still died. He still died. Yeah. But he survived the entire show though. Sean Bean usually dies in like- To capture and kill the grunts who tried to take down Snowpiercer's elevator. He died for an elevator. Yeah.

[00:56:13] But Sean Bean usually dies in either the first episode or when the first season, he doesn't usually last that long. See, he tried it with Snowpiercer. He's like, all right, I'll give it a shot. I'll go a season or two. He was still the villain. Screw this. Screw this. He was still the villain in that show. Yeah. All right. I'm just saying, the Martian. The Martian still stands. He made it through that whole fricking movie. That's right. That's right. Thanks Sean Bean for giving me all that anxiety. Well, ladies and gentlemen, that is it for rumors.

[00:56:41] So let's jump into this guys. It is now time for the download. Ooh. So let's do this. Wrong one. All right. Magic. We're done. It just went. Yeah. All right. It went. Well, ladies and gentlemen, let's jump right into all the fun stuff that we have going on here.

[00:57:10] We are jumping into our recurring segment. Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for casting corral with everybody's favorite Jen. Jen.

[00:57:34] Shailene Woodley is officially joining the cast of Hulu's Paradise in a significant recurring role. Hopefully she's not wearing those glasses. Details about Woodley's character are under wraps. Word is she'll be playing a key survivor, someone pivotal to the expansion of the story. Interesting. I know, right? So James, you've seen the show. Very good. Will she be a goodie or a baddie?

[00:58:00] I think she's going to be a in betweenie because we kind of know who's good and who's bad within the characters. We know, I think she's going to be somebody else, somebody on the outside. Like we're not going to know if she's a goodie or a baddie. Exactly. Okay. I just got Hulu back. So this is like one of the shows that's on my list of things to watch. Okay. All right. Well, yeah, I want to tell you what happens at the end. Okay. So I are no twist and it's ridiculous.

[00:58:29] No, it's a good show. It's the whole twisting isn't even really a twist. Yeah, but it's it's it was interesting and unexpected, which makes it a twist. Yeah. Hey, in fact, the definition of a twist. Exactly. All right. So we got a rumor and it's about somebody named Justin Simmons. All right. He says, no, I am. I am.

[00:58:56] A report from Daniel Rickman Lucasfilm has offered Jesse Clemens a major antagonistic role in Sean Levy's upcoming Star Wars film. Will we finally get a ginger sip and will he be wearing the red glasses that he wore in Civil War? I would love if he had like a mask with the red. That would be great. I don't think he'll be a Sith. I honestly I think he'll be like somebody from like the remnants of the first order.

[00:59:25] Yeah, I kind of hope this is a this is a tangent math, but I kind of I'm not going to go down the whole thing. I kind of hope that we're done with the Sith as like a firm order after Rise of Skywalker. But I honestly don't know. I can also see it just happening again in some way because you can do you can do dark side users that are not Sith, you know, that's kind of what they were trying to go with with the Knights of Rant. Yeah. And then they screwed it up with Skywalker, but you know. Yeah. Here's here.

[00:59:54] Here's something. This is what we could do that he could be one of the clones of Emperor Palpatine. Oh, wait, no, they already did that. Palpatine wouldn't be a ginger. He wouldn't like clone himself into a ginger. That's true. Who would want to do that? I think. Baby, he's the Doctor Who and they're crossing over. No. You know who he's going to be. He's going to be the moisture farmer that buys Uncle Owen's farm. And then he realizes how hot he is on tattooing.

[01:00:24] He's like got a layer on the sunblock because there's two suns. Yeah. And then that's where the red sunglasses come in. There you go. All right. But he's also a ginger. So, you know, he's just going to burn the minute that he walks outside. And then there's going to be another charred body outside. Exactly. Lars farm. No disintegration. All right. Now we're on to that musical magical mystery tour. That is a new Harry Potter series.

[01:00:54] Bibbidi Bobbidi. Woo hoo. Woo hoo. HBO officially revealed the first wave of casting for its Harry Potter series. John Lithgow is going to be Elvis Stumbledore. That's such an interesting take. Yeah. Well, no, I mean, yeah, whatever. Janet McTeer will be the no nonsense Minerva McGonagall. I think that's actually a really good choice because I. Right. Yeah. Has a hot. That's what I'm saying. Hot. All right.

[01:01:27] Papa. S. Sedu will be Severus Snape, which I think is a brilliant casting. Oh, I do. I think it is. And he is pretty hot. Uh, and Nick Frost will be the lovable half giant Hagrid. I cannot imagine anyone except Robbie Coltrane and Nick Frost playing this role. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. So would you want to be taught by this group? Uh, what's funny is all the rumors we've reported on pretty much came true. I know. Right. Yeah.

[01:01:55] So like, uh, this is all the people that we've been reporting on, like as far as rumors for this. Uh, so it's kind of cool to get a confirmation that all these people that were rumored to play the characters are actually playing the characters. Um, I, I'm, I'm a little weirded out by John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore. Dumbledore. Why? I don't know. I can't see. There's something about his voice that makes him unserious to me. I mean, he's done a lot of movies where he was like a serial killer and stuff. No, he has. But the thing is, is I still, I can't, there's a, there's a level of, I can't take him seriously

[01:02:25] because he has almost this kind of like goof goof to goofness to his voice. Yeah. But that in the books, Albus Dumbledore is very goofy. Like there's like every time, every book he said, there's like an, in the opening scenes when they're at the table and there's the hat and everything. And he always has a few words to say, and those words never make any sense.

[01:02:49] So, I mean, they might be really like leaning into the more of the goofiness and then juxtapositioning that with all of the seriousness that Dumbledore, just because you are trying to save the world, doesn't mean that you can't have fun doing it. And it's not that it's just like I said, there's just, it's one of those things that, um, it's, it's not going to work in my head until I actually see the way that he plays the character. Okay. All right. I, you know, I, I, I can, I can understand that.

[01:03:19] I can appreciate that. I mean, I can also say you're wrong, but okay. I'm not saying it's going to be a bad performance. I'm just saying it's, it's, it's something weird in my, like the, the, the, every time I picture John Lithgow trying to play Albus Dumbledore. It just, it seems a little weird to me, but it's like, you know, You're just saying that, that you're the problem. It's you. I am 100%. Uh, but I'm also saying that I think that I, it's, it's, it's kind of the same way I felt about, um, about the Joker.

[01:03:48] Like I, I just, I need to see him in the role before I can say anything. Always comes back to Batman and Joker. We're moving on. We do it just to piss off Jen, ladies and gentlemen. And guess who we're moving on to? The Batman. So he's a spicy vampire instead of a sparkly one. Mm-hmm. You know what? He puts enough of that spice on there and he is going to sparkle.

[01:04:13] Deadline is reporting that Robert Pattinson, AKA Rob Pat, might be the newest actor to join Dune Messiah. Ooh! Yeah! Dune Messiah! Messiah. Messiah. While nothing is official, multiple sources say there's strong interest. Uh, if a deal is made, Pattinson, Pattinson's role will reportedly be a major one.

[01:04:42] Though details on who he could be playing are still under wraps. So I'm going to ask, who could Rob Pat be portraying? Oh, one of the worms. He's going to be a worm. He's going to be a worm. He's going to be a sparkly worm. He's going to be a sparkly worm. That tries to save, uh, Johnny. Mm-hmm. But it's always just going to be in the corner, just kind of brooding, staring. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Like the emo worm. Mm-hmm. It's an emo sand worm. Emo sparkly worm. Yeah. So my spice is on Lado Atreides. Okay.

[01:05:12] Like the, the Paul's son. Yeah. Which is funny with what James said. But you know. And also it was weird because I'm pretty sure Robert Pattinson is older than Timothee Chalamet. And he's, Timothee Chalamet is not going to look any older going into the next movie. No! Yeah. So it's like, you have him come in as Lado and it's like, that's a little weird. Yeah. Well, it's weird. Dune's weird. Dune is just weird. Yeah. So yeah. Anybody else? Any other theories? No. I like James's.

[01:05:42] I, I'm actually going to go for that one. My spice was on Lado Atreides, Lado. Well, again. So, not to spoil it too much. You're, I mean, technically he's also talking about Lado. That's true. Yeah. Cause he does become a worm. Okay. I see. I was trying not to spoil it. Okay. Those books have been out forever. Yes. Anyway, Lado the second becomes a half human, half worm. It's really fucked up. He becomes a God Emperor. He becomes a God Emperor of Dune. It's, it's. Wait, are you serious? Yeah. It's not a joke.

[01:06:11] He actually becomes a worm. What happens in the book. Yep. Yeah. They get really, really fucked up. It's really, it gets really weird. Like things get weird. Very, very quickly. Yeah. Wait. So a dude becomes a worm in Dune Messiah? A half worm. No. Not in Dune Messiah. It's children of Dune. Or in children of Dune. Yeah. Yeah. And the reason being is he was going on the golden path. So Paul was actually supposed to do that, but Paul didn't. Cause he didn't want the golden path.

[01:06:40] So later did it after him and let let Oh has this twin sister. And, um, he gets her married off to some guy. Well, somebody from another thing. And they have start having the children that would pass on the Atreides stuff. And then he's alive. What? 5,000 years. And then it's a 5,000 or 3,000. It's one of those. And anyway, it's a long ass time. Yeah. It's a really long time. This is like desert little mermaid or something.

[01:07:09] How they become worms. They become worms. No. Just him. Just him. He does this. Like, it's a weird thing where he puts all these like little, like the baby worms on him and it basically coats him and creates this like exoskeleton. And slowly he starts turning into this worm. And that's what makes them live so long. And then it's like, there's a whole thing. It's like a huge deal. So Frank Herbert was on a lot of drugs. Yeah, absolutely was. Yeah.

[01:07:37] As well as had a lot of political opinions that were just expressed in a kind of trippy way. Yeah. I think somebody took a lot of drugs and was like, somebody explain Jabba the Hutt to me and he's like, alright, I got an answer. I got something. Okay, look, this is what we're gonna do. This is how we're gonna do this. Right. A guy turns into a worm. A guy turns into a worm. Okay? Just stay with me. Stay with me on here. Stay with me on this. Okay? He's gonna turn into a worm. It's gonna be a worm and it's gonna be great. Hmm. Okay. We're good. We're gonna save that for later.

[01:08:07] Wow. It's the same planet Luke's from. Get it? Okay, we got it. But also the same planet that Anakin's from. But he turns into a worm. Not a Jedi, but a worm. Yeah. And he's immortal. He's immortal. Like they can't kill him. Yeah. He is immortal. Anyway, he died. Like he is the one, like he says, okay, I'm gonna die now. Like that's how like crazy it is. He decides when he dies. Yeah. Yeah. It's crazy. All right. Anyway, pour the sand out of your boots and stop by the gift shop. Cause we got merged people. That's right.

[01:08:36] We got merged people. Oh, wait too early. Yeah. Yeah. Were we, were we too early on that? Yeah. It was only like half a show to go through here. All right. Let's jump into the next story here. Beetle juice, Beetle, or um, trilogy. Oh, beetle trilogy. Beetle. I thought it was four movies. Beetle trilogy. That's better coming out on the same day. Yeah.

[01:09:06] I think they're doing another one. So, uh, Warner's Warner brothers isn't done with the ghost with the most following the massive success of Beetle juice, Beetle juice in 2024, which pulled a whopping 451.9 million worldwide on a hundred million dollar budget. Wow. Yeah. That's a lot of cheddar cheese. The studio has officially confirmed that Beetle juice three is an active development.

[01:09:31] The move is a part of Warner brothers, larger push to breathe new life into fan favorite IPs alongside Beetle juice. The studio is eyeing updates to the bodyguard. Yeah. Cause we need that. The matrix. We don't need that again. Practical magic. Why? About practical magic. You just keep moving on. Gremlins, which why do we need to ruin that franchise? It's fine. The way it is. And the Goonies. I'm actually excited for that one.

[01:09:57] Uh, no show time for the third Beetle juice film, but it will be coming soon. So again, I need to ask, especially David Zaslav show time. Is everything okay? No, everything's not okay. Especially with the nurse, especially with the news that I heard about what David Zaslav is doing as of today. Uh, I'm not excited. I almost don't want to support Warner brothers anymore with what I heard, but, uh, that, that would move us into a political realm and I'm not going to do that.

[01:10:25] So well, I can, I can, I already have some ideas, so it's worse than you think it is. Okay, cool. All right. Let's move on. Let's go to a different world. Yeah. We're going to need a lot of lands for this one. Hasborn Legendary are looking to create something big and epic with their live action adaptation of magic, the gathering. And according to Deadline, Blackberry director Matt Johnson is in talks to direct. Magic the Gathering was created in 1993 and the card game has since grown into a global

[01:10:51] fantasy phenomenon with over, uh, with over 50 million fans. Millions. There are no dates when we will be gathering magically into theaters. Yeah. You got to tap those lands for man. Yeah. Tap those lands. Just tap them together. Tap, tap, tappy. Yeah. Just tap them. Tap, tap, tap, tap, a room. I'm going to. Now did magic the gathering, did they ever go like digital? Uh huh. There, there, there are a couple of different like digital trading card games that are based on magic. The gathering.

[01:11:19] I think there is a magic, the gathering like app that is like an arena. So Husby plays it every day. I play it sometimes. He plays it every day. I played, uh, the one that was on Xbox for a while and played up against Husby and kept eating him. So I just decided to stop. Like how are you beating me every time? And then he was so addicted to that. He, he was so more ish on that, that.

[01:11:50] That he, uh, that he, uh, would log into mine and play mine. And then guys would hit on him thinking he was me. It became a weird thing. And he'd be like, Oh, they're hitting on me again. And I'm like, they liked the free girl. He was like, we don't kink shame. We don't kink shame here. Could be a thing he's into. Yeah. Anyway.

[01:12:17] We do, we do pig shame here because look out pigs were coming for you. Paramount animation has announced that the animated sequel to the angry birds movie three, the studio has always had this date on hold in its calm, calm score for a family event film. The previous two films were released by Sony and grossed a combined half billion at the global box office. Wow.

[01:12:47] I didn't know angry birds was still a thing. Uh, angry birds three sees voice cast members, Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Rachel Bloom, and Danny McBride reprise their roles. Uh, angry birds movie three is taking flight into theaters January 29th, 2027. Does anybody, does anybody care about angry birds anymore? I, I was like, is this, why is this news? Like I thought these movies bombed. Me too. Half a billion.

[01:13:15] I, I'm really angry that it's still a thing. Is that? Are you angry at the birds? No. Well, you know, I saw the Minecraft movie this weekend. I'm like, okay, that the movie is not for me, but I'll go see it. My kids loved it. That's fine. But I'm like, who's into these angry bird movies? My kids don't know angry birds. Not anymore. I have a question about a Minecraft movie. How much pink does Jason Momoa wear in that? Uh, a leather jacket amount.

[01:13:44] And is he, uh, and is he Lobo? He's like a pink Minecraft Lobo. That's exactly what he is. Oh, fantastic. Okay. That's a good way to describe him. He somehow builds a motorcycle in that world. Yeah, I'm ready for a fight. We're gonna do this. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. But yeah, like my kids aren't into angry birds. I don't even know if they know what it is. I mean, this is more like a my generation thing. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So, and we don't care.

[01:14:14] So. Your generation doesn't really care about a lot. So. Yeah, we don't give a shit. So. Yeah. I just think angry birds is in this weird realm of like the time and the internet. It's like, okay, everything's behind us. We're moving forward now. I think if I had to psychoanalyze this a little bit, I think that this is like the emoji movie. Oh God. Yeah.

[01:14:36] It's like the emoji movie where they, I mean, I think the first few angry birds were like this too, where it's like, well, there was this trend that we think the kids still like. We think the kids are still like, you know, those crazy kids are still to those angry birds and all of that. Right. I think that's what this is. This is older. Quorum executive being like, oh, oh, what are the kids into? They're into angry birds. No. So, so, so Jen's going to relate to me on this right now. I started watching the studio. Oh, you did. Oh my God. It's fantastic.

[01:15:06] It is amazing, but it's basically the Kool-Aid movie. It's an executive that's going like, uh, so this movie needs to be made. I don't care what you need to do. This movie needs to be made. Oh yeah. Oh no. Oh my God. You all have to episode of the studio to fully understand the Kool-Aid movie and the craziness that ensues.

[01:15:30] It's so, it's kind of so like messed up, especially like when they talk to, uh, to what's his name at the end of the episode. Uh, yes. Oh my God. He's like, this is his swan song. This is like his final movie. What? I know. Oh my God. And they shelved it, uh, so bad. Anyways, we're not going to continue on with this joke because it's going to waste time. Uh, so let's move on to the next story here. All right. Someone slapped me a sequel to an alternate ending. What?

[01:16:01] Uh, when I am legend two was first announced in 2022 fans were immediately started spitting theories about Michael B. Jordan. Uh, how, and how he would factor into the story. Will Smith finally opened up about the sequels direction. And he said, uh, what we're going to do was do a prequel. So we're going to do a prequel.

[01:16:23] And, and our Akiva was like, but what if we make a new version from the alternate ending? Way to go Akiva. But what if we make a new version from the alternate ending of the film where your character is still alive? And you know, Michael B. Jordan's character currently is the head of a new settlement and he's not your son. Like, okay, we're going to just do a completely separate movie. Okay. Sure.

[01:16:52] So, uh, Jordan isn't playing Neville's son, a flashback version of him or some evolution of the virus. He's the leader of a new settlement in a post virus world. Someone who survived long enough to build something. So new direction, uh, in theaters, in a theatrical cut of I am legend, Neville will Smith sacrifices himself in a lab explosion to save Anna and Ethan effectively ending his story.

[01:17:21] But the alternate ending where Neville lives and realizes that dark seekers have their own form of empathy and social structure has clearly become canon for the sequel. Oh my gosh. This project is still in development, but it's coming together quickly. So the, the only thing that makes this a little bit weird is this is one of those things where you had to have watched the DVD version of the movie in order to understand the sequel. Right. Exactly.

[01:17:50] I'm just waiting for the handcraft sequel. That was a good one. But I bet they go like, what is going to shoot bullets through a trailer again? Yeah, maybe. I bet they, they do something at the beginning of this new film where they retell the ending to get people on the same page. Like, Hey everybody, nobody go watch the old movie. Yeah. Just watch this new movie. And, uh, Which was a, which was a remake of another movie. Remake of three movies from the sixties. Oh, that's right. Yeah. They're worth three.

[01:18:19] They were all based on, on a book. So yeah. Yeah. Well, I guess this movie is the direct adaptation of the book. There were like three movies that were based on the book in the sixties. Yeah. Yeah. I just think it's crazy. They're making this from an alternate ending. Yeah. Hey, that's some balls. Will Smith. Is this also Warner brothers? Yes. It's Warner brothers. Oh yeah. Sean Bean ain't coming back from the dead. Will Smith can. Yeah. Apparently Gemini man. There were two of them.

[01:18:49] That's right. That's oh my God. That's that. That is the explanation. The ego. That is the explanation. It's Gemini man three because the first one, the Gemini man was Gem, Gemini man. And then the sequel to that was I am legend. And then now I am legend two is the third movie in the series. There you go. Let's just confuse the shit out of everybody. It's called though. What the fuck? This movie is called what the fuck is happening right now?

[01:19:21] And why the fuck am I watching this? The shit. Speaking of sequels. Michael B. Jordan plays the role of the guy who gets slapped by Will Smith. Wow. Hey, nobody slapping. Keep my name. Keep my wife's name. I'd show motherfucking mouth. Uh, more sequel news. All right. Neville has returned somehow. No, it's but it's the wrong Neville. It's not the Neville that everybody wants to return.

[01:19:52] Once upon a time. Right. Once upon a time in sequel news, as we covered Netflix. Wait a minute. Hold on. I've got. There we go. Once upon a time. Uh, Netflix is producing a sequel to Quentin Tarantino's once upon a time in Hollywood. The Brad Pitt and Brad Pitt will return to play Cliff Booth. But don't. Brad Pitt. The Brad Pitt. The Brad Pitt. Uh, the only one.

[01:20:22] The Brad Pitt is coming back. The Brad Pitt wants to play Cliff Booth. But don't expect this to be a traditional sequel. New Intel from the big pictures podcast. This next chapter is shaping up to be a unique continuation. It will be more of a spiritual successor to the standalone or standalone spinoff with Cliff Booth at the center of a new story. So it just seems like it's the Brad Pitt's character just in a separate story. So, uh, yeah, it makes sense. Yeah.

[01:20:50] Pitt and Fincher have a hell of a track record together and collab with collaborations like flight club, which is like one of the best movies ever made seven and the curious case of Benjamin button under their belts. I didn't realize he directed all three of those. Uh, and I, yeah, and I'm excited to see they will be working together on this Tarantino project. The film will be set in 1977, eight years after the events of once upon a time in Hollywood and the original film covering just three days in 1969.

[01:21:20] This jump forward opens the door to a very different version of Cliff. Presumably Rick Dalton, who was played by Leonardo DiCaprio is out of the picture and we're catching up with Cliff in a new phase of his life, older, possibly more jaded, maybe even a little crazier. Uh, so no news on when this is happening, but it's still an active development, uh, for Netflix. It's crazy that Netflix is doing this.

[01:21:46] They bought, I think they paid like $20 million for the rights to do this. I guess that's, that's where the Leo money went through. Like, Hey, we can't afford Leo anymore. We just paid $20 million just to get this on our, our platform. So sorry, Leo. I do like this idea. I'm more open to it. Uh, hearing that it's, it's basically like a character that's in the, this universe.

[01:22:12] That's like a different story regarding that character, but isn't tied necessarily to once upon a time in Hollywood. Mm-hmm. I kind of like the idea of that. Like, like let's, let's flesh out this universe, explore it out a little bit more. We'll tell a story just about this one character. Yeah. Yeah. I like it. Or see like what he can get into all the hijinks he can get into. I like it. I just hope that, you know, Brad Pitt makes something of himself one day. I hope that guy gets bigger roles, you know? Right, right.

[01:22:42] He could, he could be a big star if he really puts his mind to it. Yeah. If he really tried, you know, he could be, you know, he could be a, he could be a big movie star, you know, date some of the hottest women in Hollywood. He could do that. Yeah. He could do the Robert Redford biopic. Right. He might, he might be a seven if he worked out a little bit, you know? Maybe. He might be a seven if he worked out a little bit. He could even go on a mythic quest. Oh, I see what you did there.

[01:23:12] You know, there, there is there no, there's no. There we go. Hey. Look at that. It's sad. I mean, he's got a lot on his plate right now. Yeah. After four seasons of glory. It's game over, dude. It's game over, man. Game over.

[01:23:32] Mythic quest, the chaotic, heartfelt and hilariously on point workplace comedy about the team behind a hit video game has officially been canceled by Apple TV. No, wait a minute. Is this? I think this is the first thing that's ever been canceled on Apple TV. I think it is, too. I don't think they've canceled anything yet. I think that stuff just stops and they just go, oh, I guess it stopped. Does Apple TV know that they canceled the show? I'm not sure. Anyway, let's continue.

[01:23:59] While the show won't be returning for a fifth season, boo, hiss, boo. Fans aren't being left hanging entirely. The team behind the series has revealed that mythic quest will receive an updated version of its season four finale, a reworked ending that will give the characters and their story a proper send off. Yeah, because it really there was cliffhangers all over the frickin place. Yeah. Like many season finales, the last episode of mythic quest ended on a cliffhanger, like I just said.

[01:24:59] The first episode of the show. The second episode of the show, David Hornsby, who also is on the show, and Rob McElhaney. Who is also on the show. Yeah, he is. But I figured everybody would know that since he's in that fricking picture. Endings are hard, but after four incredible seasons, Mythic Quest is coming to a close. We're so proud of the show and the world we got to build and deeply grateful to every cast and crew member who poured their heart into it.

[01:25:26] To all of our fans, thank you for playing with us. To our partners at Apple, fuck you. I mean, thank you for believing in the vision from the very beginning because endings are hard. With Apple's blessing, we made one final update to our last episode so we could say goodbye instead of just game over. All four seasons of Mythic Quest available now. The updated finale will be available later this week on Apple TV+.

[01:25:56] Oh man, that sucks to hear. But at the same time, I mean, that is kind of cool that because it's on a streamer, they're like, hey, yeah, you guys can update your last episode and give some closure to the show. Yeah, and we got to know. We got to know what happened to Joe. We got to know what happened to Poppy and Ian and their dinner party. No, I'm just kidding. That was in season one. I just love that she said that. But yeah, that.

[01:26:23] And then also, we have to find out about Dana. I bet you the episode ends with just Rob on a screen. It's like, so we were canceled. So what happened was. And this is what season five was going to be. So have fun with that. Yeah. So here we go. I'm hoping it's going to be like, did you guys ever watch the Parks and Rec when they did the last Parks and Rec and how they did kind of like in the future and like what happened to everybody?

[01:26:53] I would love something like that. I think that would be really cool. Yeah. They do like the Band of Brothers thing. Well, like at the end. I'm saying it like at the end where they're like. Oh, where they just say this person was here and he did this. And then he died and no one knew. Right. And then he died and no one knew. They all died. I mean, really, I think like two of them were still alive when that Band of Brothers thing. No, I'm just saying it's like, this is what, you know. Yeah. Let's just do like that. Like a really hyper serious thing at the very end.

[01:27:23] I think there's more going on here. I think like maybe McElhenney was like, you know what? If you want me to keep doing it, it's going to cost extra money. But I got all these things going on. So either you pay us more or we're done. I think of all the things Rob McElhenney has going on. No, but I mean like, so yeah, I know that. But I mean, we're going to get into that in a second. But the other big thing that's going on with McElhenney right now is, I mean, he just got

[01:27:50] renewed for what, three more seasons for Sunny. For Sunny. So I'm sure he's like dealing with like writing that and doing that whole thing. And like, you know, Sunny is like one of the most beloved series in existence. So it'll be the longest running sitcom. Yeah. The Sides, The Senses. Not categorized as a sitcom. That is categorized as animation. So yes, we're going to go from sad McElhenney news to happy McElhenney news.

[01:28:19] I didn't realize that I did not make a slide for this. So we're just going to keep it here. So in happy McElhenney news, Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds are back for more football, more drama, and more Wrexham. FX just announced that season four of Welcome to Wrexham debuting with a double episode premiere. We all watch Welcome to Wrexham here, right? I am. You need to catch up. I'm all caught up. I'm all caught up. I have not seen it. He watches it.

[01:28:48] He actually watches Wrexham, right? He does. So he keeps track of what their standing is and if they're going to be promoted or not. He watches all those games and watches the highlights and stuff. So I feel like I kind of already know what's going on. You have a spoiler for the season. Yeah, I made sure to not pay attention to the standings because it spoils the series because it's like a year. The show comes out like a year after the actual season. Yeah. Yeah.

[01:29:17] I'll check in on them every now and then just to kind of see where they're at. So since McElhenney and Reynolds bought the club in 2020, they've been on a mission to turn the fifth tier Red Dragons into a true underdog success story. Wrexham has climbed its way up into the League One, which is their highest standing in two decades. With progress coming with progress comes pressure. FX teases a new level of intensity competition and costs.

[01:29:47] Season four will continue to highlight the Wrexham AFC women's team as they battle it out in the Welsh Edge Adrin is that Adrin Adrin Premier League, proving their talent on the national level and making their own case for greatness. Season four of Welcome to Wrexham kicks off May 15th, debuting with their double episode premiere on FX. If you miss it live, Hulu's got you covered the next day. Oi, oi, oi. Ozzy, ozzy, ozzy. Oi, oi, oi.

[01:30:16] I like me some Wrexham. I do. I do enjoy. I enjoy the show, but I also just kind of like I root for them. Like I really want them to. I want to see them in the Premier League and just just shitting on everybody. That town has so much heart. Yeah, it does. And I just feel like I feel like they deserve it. Absolutely do. You know, I've looked at houses in Wrexham. Have you? Yes. Dilly dilly. Dilly dilly.

[01:30:45] You know, a friend of the show, Spencer Wilding, he's Welsh. He is Welsh. You know, Wales is a pretty big country. I think he grew up an hour away, I think he said. Yeah, he said he grew an hour outside of Wrexham. Like south? Yeah. No, I think he's north. I think he said he was closer to the English border. Oh, okay. All right. Cool. I know where Wales is. Do you all know where Wales is? It's on an island.

[01:31:15] No, it's not. No, it's not. I mean, I guess technically it is. Yeah. Take that. Huh? Gotcha. Gotcha all. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, let's continue on here. Should do. You got this. I hate to be a not so fun guy or fun guy. Oh, my God. Season two of The Last of Us just launched and HBO is already locking in season three. This early renewal speaks volumes about HBO's confidence in the series.

[01:31:41] Showrunner Craig Mazin and series co-creator Neil Druckmann released a joint statement about the season three news. The story of part two, like the first game, is more than a season's worth of television. With great pride in our cast and crew, HBO has graciously agreed to renew the show for a third season. We are thrilled to be able to continue the story of Ellie and Abby. They don't sound like that at all. I know. That's not anybody's voice. There's no release date yet for season three, but chances are writer's room is already at work or about to be.

[01:32:10] Season two had a two year gap for the first season. It's currently airing on HBO and HBO Max. No. Okay. Have you guys watched it yet? I have. I watched episode one. I have. No, I have not either. Just without any spoilers, it follows the beginning of the game, but it also adds more context to it. And I kind of enjoyed that. So, yeah. Okay. Because, you know, I haven't played any of the games, so I have no frame of reference.

[01:32:39] So I wondered. And then I know it starts in the same place that his brother's in, in Wyoming, right? Yes. Jackson. Jackson. Okay. So I know that it starts there, but then like, I know like they ratcheted up pretty quickly. They go to Wales. Yeah. They do. Yeah. One hundred percent. They're in the Welsh land very quickly. No, it, again, it does, it does cover the very beginning of the game.

[01:33:09] And like, I kind of thought that they were going to be a little bit further along by the second episode, but I kind of liked that they, again, they added a lot more context to everything. So it's kind of like, it's what they did well in the first season. Mm-hmm. Right? Where here's the game, but let's add context to certain things. So then that way there's more drama to the story. Yeah. Right. They added, they added context and they added it for like a whole nother demographic. They added Dora the Explorer.

[01:33:36] Dora the Explorer is out here killing zombies. Yo. And Swiper's a zombie, right? Swiper is, has eaten one too many mushrooms. Okay. All right. Uh, no, she, she is pretty badass though. Like there is, there, there is a scene, uh, I'm not going to go too into it, but there is a scene where they're just like, they're fucking reckless, but they're fucking, they're dope. Oh, cool. Cool. Yeah. Um, kids doing kid things. All right. Kind of.

[01:34:05] Well, I mean, they're like, they're like 19 and 20. So I mean, they're like, they're, they're still pretty young. That's a big, big plot. To an immortal. That's a baby. Yeah. Uh, but, uh, again, the, the, the introduction of, of new characters, uh, I know for people who haven't played the game, uh, they don't know the significance of Abby, but whoo. Okay. She's going to be a problem. It says she's playing Abby. No, she's not playing Abby, but I mean, Abby is introduced. She's Dora. Yeah.

[01:34:32] Uh, no, uh, Abby, Abby does get introduced. Um, she, there's two scenes where she's, where she's, uh, where she's prevalent. Um, and it's very much like for those who know, get ready for heartbreak for those who don't know. Uh, she, she, she, she, she is a massive character. She's both, she's both an antagonist and protagonist somehow with actions have consequences. Yeah. And that's what this is all leading up to. Yeah. Oh yeah. You guys just seem so smug.

[01:35:02] Please saw it already. I'm just, I'm just, no, I'm just, I'm not trying to, I'm trying not to spoil things, but show you how excited I am about it. Right? Like it's, it's so much fun. It's so good. Uh, again, for an episode, yeah, for an episode that is as slow as it is, there's still so much tension that gets built up and I cannot wait for the next episode. How were the stunts in it? Were the stunts really good? The stunts were good. They're like really good. Were they good? Would you say they're Oscar worthy?

[01:35:33] Oh, I think, I think we, I think we are saying that. So let's move on to the next story here. Oscars are for movies. So yeah, the Oscars are for movies. I said Oscar worthy. I didn't say that it would get an Oscar. We're falling, crashing, jumping, swinging, driving, fighting, and blowing up the Oscars with this next story. All right. It took over a century, but the Oscars.

[01:36:02] Oh, where did I go? I was going to say, did we lose a gin? It took over a century, but the Oscars are finally adding a stunt award category to their awards. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced it will introduce a competitive Academy Award for achievement in stunt design. Now, only if the Oscar or only if the Olympics will do the same. This didn't happen overnight.

[01:36:30] It took people like David Litch, a former stunt performer, turned, did I say his last name right? Leach? It's Leach. I think it's Leach. A former stunt performer, turned director of Daredevil, of Daredevil. I'm going to try to get that in the brain again. All right. A former stunt performer, turned director of Deadpool 2, Bullet Train, and The Fall Guy, which is a love letter to stunt people. It really is. To push from inside the industry.

[01:37:01] Leach, along with veteran stunt designer, Chris O'Hara, spent years pitching the Academy and making the case. This week, it finally paid off. Leach said, stunts are essential to every genre of film and rooted deep in our industry's history. From the groundbreaking work of early pioneers like Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, and Charlie Chaplin, to the inspiring artistry of today's stunt designers, coordinators, performers, and choreographers.

[01:37:29] Starting with the 100th Academy Awards in 2028, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will have a competitive Academy Award for achievement in stunt design honoring films released in 2027. And you know what? I think it is well past time that we have that. I actually thought we already did. And I thought they did them at the non-broadcast ones, because I don't pay attention to those. Yeah.

[01:37:59] And God, 2028? Yeah. Yeah. They were just like, oh, yeah, let's wait and see if the world hasn't imploded by then. Well, I mean, you know, I hope Brian Gosling is like the presenter for it. That'd be great. Yeah. That'd be funny. Yeah. And even Mendes. I totally thought this was already a thing. Yeah. I honestly thought it was a thing. So I'm so glad that that. And people were actually giving Ryan Gosling the credit for it. And I was like, did he?

[01:38:28] Maybe his movie brought more of a light to it. Like, hey, look at all these amazing stunts. And we did it about stunt guy. And look, it made money. And let's put it in the award. I think the Oscars are just trying to be relevant again. Yeah. But, you know. I don't think it's going to succeed, but. Yeah. It's really cool, though. Because there is so much storytelling when it comes to like stunts and action scenes. And, you know, it's just another level of performance. So. Well, yeah. And any kind of drama. Like, you know, you have a.

[01:38:57] Somebody has a car accident in a film. That's a stunt. Like, you know. Yeah. Somebody falls out of a boat into a pond. Stunned. So. So fun fact about stunts. It's not just like the action stuff you see in movies. Stunt actors are like the people driving the car. Period. Right. Yeah. Like driving Miss Daisy. A stunt actor is driving the car. There's not. That was probably the slowest stunt performer ever drove. Yeah. It.

[01:39:28] Any. Anything that requires any type of movement or action. Period. Requires a stunt actor. The reason we know this is because we have had stunt or action actors on the show. And they've explained this to us. It's like, yeah. No. It's not just, you know, you know, jumping off of buildings and exploding and being shot and stuff like that. Like, it's literally walking, you know, a scene where you're just like walking down the street and the actors too prissy to walk down, do the walk on the scene.

[01:39:56] Then we're like stand-ins and we're walking, you know, like. And then you've got people like Florence Pugh who decided to jump off the second tallest building in the world for the heck of it to do the opening sequence in Thunderbolt. Or like Tom Cruise who does all of his own stunts and that guy does. We're not talking about him. No, but I'm just saying. He's crazy pants. I'm just saying that he does insane stunts. Considering how old he is, he still does crazy stunts. Yeah. Well, you actually.

[01:40:24] Like, this is like stunt performing. It's really where movies are made. Like, think about the number of people that it takes to pull these stunts off. It's not just the stunt actors, but it's everybody behind the scenes. Yeah, the coordinator. You have, and they have to like rehearse it like for weeks to get it right. It is massive amounts of energy, time, and if they do it wrong, people could be seriously injured. So.

[01:40:54] The one that blows my mind is, I think it was either the fourth or the fifth Mission Impossible movie. The one where he's climbing down the side of the Burj Khalifa. Oh, yeah. He actually did that. Face jumping. Yeah. Oh, my God. And that was, I think that's when I stopped watching the Mission Impossible movies. Because I couldn't deal with that kind of like anxiety. Yeah. Like, he actually bouldered up the side.

[01:41:19] So, if you guys are unfamiliar with rock climbing, bouldering is climbing without a harness. Yeah. So, he actually bouldered up the side of the Burj Khalifa. They had to have a crew there to catch him in case he fell. But he actually like climbed up the side of the building with no harness. And it's like, that's insane. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's a little uncalled for. Finally. You're finally deciding to do this. Finally. Finally. I think we're done with news boosh. We are.

[01:41:48] Speaking of large, tall things. We got to do the download now. Yeah. So, let's move into this next story here. That's what I'm saying. Speaking of large, tall things. I think this is a James. Oh, you're not going to do an intro thing? Okay, cool. Godzilla is getting atomed up. Godzilla is getting atomed up. Atomed up. Atomed. Atomed. Atomic. You know, so atomed up. Take two.

[01:42:16] Godzilla is getting atomed up. I can't say it. I don't know. I'm trying to justify it. After the monstrous success of Godzilla minus one, Toho has officially gone full beast mode with their future plans for the king of monsters.

[01:42:36] According to Bloomberg, the Japanese studio is dropping nearly $1 billion in expanding Godzilla's global footprint. Godzilla's global footprint. Across film, gaming, merchandise, and more. That's a full-blown kaiju conquest. Oh, that was good.

[01:42:59] About $500 million is earmarked for content development, which includes live-action films, animation, and mobile games. Another million. Podcast. Godzilla's going to get his own podcast. That's exactly what we need. He'll be interviewing a monster. I would like to apologize for Tokyo. Rodan. Another $100 million will be fuel-themed attractions. Interesting. Merch and video games.

[01:43:28] They're also putting serious firepower behind the sequel to Godzilla minus one. The investment blitz comes out of nowhere thanks to Godzilla minus one and its related projects. Toho just had its biggest financial year ever, raking in over $2 billion in 2024.

[01:43:48] With the studio approaching its 100th anniversary in 2032, Toho is now aiming to boost sales by 10% to 30% over the next several years. Basically, they're building a massive Godzilla-sized future. Interesting. Wow. They're going all in. His footprint is already pretty big, so it probably won't take that much to make it a bigger footprint. Okay.

[01:44:17] So, DeLonge, my joke, for the record, was that the podcast will be called the Joe Rodan Experience. But, you know. The Joe Rodan. Okay. It's not bad. The Joe Rodan Experience. Okay. And then the introduction is just, ah! And got some teeth. That sounded more like Godzuki. I'm like...

[01:44:48] All right. Now that we're making weird sounds, let's move on to the next one. Wait, hold on. Are we big Godzilla fans? Are we excited for a billion dollars worth of Godzilla marketing and merchandise? I'm excited for more Godzilla if it is at the same level and the same quality as minus one. Does that mean it's going to be Godzilla zero? Or minus two. Or minus two. That's a prequel, though, because that's lower than... Yeah, that's why I said zero.

[01:45:18] And does that mean he's going to be sugar-free and caffeine-free? There's the marketing pitch. That's it. We're a partner. Godzilla has gone vegan. Godzilla. With Coke zero. Now with... Or maybe Pepsi zero. Yeah, now with no sugar and no caffeine, we're basically letting you drink water. Zero sugar. It's Godzilla. Zero sugar. Cherry-flavored Godzilla. Cherry-flavored Godzilla.

[01:45:51] I don't know how I feel about this. I'm cool with Godzilla projects, but I wouldn't think to throw a billion dollars at this franchise, but it kind of makes sense. It's like they're cashed out. Like I said, I just don't want them to take it and say, oh, we're going to... Yeah, we want to make money off of this, but we're going to sacrifice quality in order to make mindless stuff.

[01:46:18] You have this kind of perfect melding of writing and directing and acting and just everything in a monster movie. And that kaiju movie. You normally don't have that level of artistry in a kaiju movie. It's just more about the monsters destroying everything. And it's like they did such a good job with Minus One. So if Toho is going to kind of like, okay, we're going to dump money into this.

[01:46:46] It's fine if you're dumping money into better VFX and better visuals all around and making everything look even more realistic. But don't sacrifice the artistry behind it that made that movie so good. Do you think like other studios, Toho hasn't learned the correct lesson and that's why you're concerned? I have a feeling.

[01:47:11] That's my fear is that Toho doesn't learn the correct lesson because we all know Warner Brothers doesn't learn the right lessons. Sony does not learn the right lessons. They're just more like, oh, rated R. Rated R made a billion dollars. So make more rated R movies. It's like, no, no, no. It's because they made a good movie and people enjoyed it. It just happened to be rated R. God's only start cursing.

[01:47:34] It had to be rated R because the character, like the essence of the character is rated R. Very much. So yeah, keep to the essence of the characters. Then you won't go wrong. Yeah. Yeah. And I mean, hopefully because Toho has, they have been really good about, you know, they make more and more movies and it's all about keeping the essence of the characters. And when I say the characters, I mean the monsters themselves, the kaiju themselves. Yeah.

[01:48:03] Don't lose that. Right. I really don't want them to lose that. It's continue with the high level of quality you're using to make these movies. Just ignore me. Just ignore what I'm doing. It was like somebody put a fucking sunlight on him and it was like. Just ignore what I'm doing. It was like. It was interrogation over there. Like, there are five lights kind of interrogation.

[01:48:33] There are five lights. You know what that's telling us? I want to show everybody just how wide I am. Ah! I do have a question. So is Godzilla minus one? It's a completely separate universe than like the Godzilla King Kong stuff. Yeah. Stuff? So all the new movies that Warner Brothers are making right now. Oh, that was Barbie that's so much. Yeah. All the stuff that Warner Brothers is doing and Sony is doing is all separate from what Toho is doing. Yeah.

[01:49:03] So, I mean, really this is yet another example of you care more about money than you do about art. That's the problem. Yeah. It's like, and you learn the wrong notes from like, oh, look, money. Not, oh, look, art. That's going to get us money. Because that's what Warner Brothers does. Warner Brothers is like, oh, we had successful Godzilla movies, so now we're just cranking out these Godzilla versus King Kong movies. I'm going to not make that motion. We're just going to milk it as much as we can. And remember, everybody, she do will do anything for money. Okay. Except make that motion.

[01:49:32] Except make that motion. He is the whitest man. He is the whitest man in the world. You know what? You know, I know that we're like totally earthbound, but I really, really want to see Space Godzilla. I think that's the, oh, I want to see a better version of Mechagodzilla. Like the version that they put out was kind of like, eh. Could Mechagodzilla go into space, do you think? I think he can. Yeah.

[01:50:00] You know who he would be really cool to fight against? Is it Chirrut? No, Darth Vader. Darth Vader. Darth Vader would be fun. Which means I'm being signaled to move into the next story. So let's do this here. I mean, I was going to make a Zillow Beast joke, but you know. Oh, nice. Well, the beast with the billion backs. Many Bothans were excited for this next story. Just like I was. Woo-hoo! Tell me a Bothan.

[01:50:28] Lucasfilm were excited for this next story. They didn't die. At least this time. Lucasfilm is switching things up for the return of Andor Season 2, which is the final chapter of Cassian Andor's journey. It's also getting a unique release structure that sets it apart from the usual Disney Plus rollout. Instead of a typical weekly drop, Andor Season 2 will premiere with a three-episode launch on April 22nd of 2025, which is next week.

[01:50:55] And then continue with weekly batches of three episodes. That's four weeks total for a 12-episode season. Here's how it breaks down. So on April 22nd, we're getting episodes 1, 2, and 3. On April 29th, we're getting episodes 4, 5, and 6. On May 6th, we're getting 7, 8, and 9, because 7, 8, 9. And May 13th, we are getting 10, 11, and 12. All came to play at the Ladybug picnic.

[01:51:25] It's kind of funny. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. It's kind of funny that episodes 7, 8, 9 are coming out two days after May the 4th. Yeah. Right? I wonder if they're going to be major episodes, though, just because they're premiering right around May 4th. Yeah. This staggered chunk release format is rare for Star Wars shows on Disney+.

[01:51:50] Season 2 of Andor is split into four distinct arcs, each a trio of episodes that covers three intense days of action, then jumps a full year ahead. Andor Season 2 will premiere with the first three episodes on April 22nd, 2025 on Disney+. So that's going to be next week. Isn't that Earth Day? Is that Earth Day? I think April 22nd is Earth Day. That's funny. That's really funny. It's Tatooine Day. It's Tatooine Day. No, it's... I'm going to have to look that up. It's the day all the Bothans died.

[01:52:20] Which, for the record, happens... Not the day the music died. Happens. Turn of the Jedi. I was going to say it happens in the third movie. I know. I get that. Well, really. It's the sixth movie. It's the sixth movie in the series, but it was the third movie made. Get it right. I understand. The third movie made. Get it right. Tell you what, it's not... What day? It's not. It's not Alderaan Day, you know? Yeah. There are no more days on Alderaan. Because we are arguing for Alderaan reasons. In Alderaan places.

[01:52:50] In Alderaan places. Are you all excited for Andor? I am, dude. I can't wait. I'm excited. It is by far the best Star Wars show so far, pretty much. I'm just excited for K2SO. That's like... Oh, yeah. No, no. I'm excited for Alan Tudia. It is Earth Day. I just checked. It's Earth Day. I'm excited for K2SO. I'm excited for Krennic to come back. I'm excited for B2 Emo to come back. Oh. The little B2 with his dog bed. I'm excited. Mm-hmm. Oh.

[01:53:20] Well, speaking of the galaxy far, far away... Speaking of... Something else to make sure I don't ever have a life. EA and Lucasfilm just dropped the name of their next big Star Wars game, Star Wars Zero Company. And that's all we know. Zero. Well, what we do know is that it's a single-player, turn-based tactics game that's been quietly clicking behind the scenes.

[01:53:48] And it's being developed by Bit Reactor and Respawn Entertainment. It's set to exploit a part of the Star Wars timeline that clearly dips somewhat into the prequel era, judging by the poster art shown off so far. The art features a tug-and-off Jedi wielding a lightsaber, an Ambaran likely channeling some of that eerie Clone Wars energy, a scoundrel-looking human, because you gotta have one of those, with a trusty R5 droid, a grizzled clone trooper sporting some gnarly Phase 1 clone trooper armor, and a Mandalorian from a currently unknown house.

[01:54:16] If you want to know more about Star Wars Zero Company, you're gonna have to keep tabs on Star Wars Celebration 2025 news for updates. It was also announced that an info drop is coming April 19th during Star Wars Celebration. The game will get a proper spotlight for the panel hosted by Lucy James, featuring the teams from Bit Reactor, Respawn, and Lucasfilm. Expect more details from a celebration far, far away, and yet just around the corner. Say Wong, what do you know? Yeah, I know. Say Wong, you're there right now, aren't you? Tell us more.

[01:54:46] Is he in Japan? He's in Japan right now. Yeah, yeah. You were gone. You weren't here for the beginning, so you didn't see. He said something in Japanese, and then Shadu actually translated it. It was pretty cool. Yeah, that's cool. That's cool. There's a lot of people that went to Celebration Japan. That's crazy. Yeah. I mean, also, you know, it's Japan. It is. It's Japan. And it's during Sakura. That's right. Yeah, so it's beautiful there right now.

[01:55:15] And especially, like, it's in Tokyo, so he's, like, that's exactly the perfect place for that. All the cherry trees to blossom in. Yeah, yeah. It's, like, right in the middle of Sakura. It's pretty cool. I'm really excited about this because it's a single-player turn-based tactics game, which means I can play it because I don't play those frickin' online bullshit. Well, okay, so Respawn, that's what they've been kind of really good about is making single-player Star Wars games.

[01:55:44] Like, because remember, they're also the ones behind all the Survivor games. Oh, okay. Yeah, absolutely. Hey, James has a little guest. Is it? It is. And I say little because she's standing up, and she's quite short. So I assume little. They just called you short. The scowl. The scowl that we just got right now. Why would you call me short?

[01:56:13] I'm sure you're young. Young drama. But, yeah, no, I'm willing to give it a chance. I know everybody's into Rivals right now. I haven't started playing Marvel Rivals. And I know that's a turn-based game. Everybody, like, loves that. Oh, yeah. I was going to have somebody explain the game. Turn-based game? I don't know what that is. So turn-based tactical games are going to be like you go into a fight.

[01:56:42] Or, like, think Final Fantasy. Like, you go into a fight, and you choose what you want to do. You attack. And then it gives the opponent a chance to attack. And basically, you guys take turns fighting until somebody wins. I'm hoping this is like Star Wars Baldur's Gate. That's what I'm hoping. I'm hoping it's more like Coder. Oh, yeah. Because Coder was a turn-based game as well. It was turn-based. Yeah. Okay. No. I would love something like that, like, done now and not back then. Yeah.

[01:57:11] Isn't there a game like Galactic Heroes, right? Isn't that a turn-based game? Galactic Heroes is a card game, though. Galaxy of Heroes is what you're talking about. That's not a card game. That's one of those, like, you collect different characters, and then there's teams and stuff. Oh, so it's not that? Marvel Strike Force. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's very similar to that. No, it's not that? Yeah, no. It's very similar to that. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. So I'm pretty sure there is a Star Wars card game somewhere. Yeah, somewhere. You know what, though? You know what?

[01:57:39] I know there is. I know, especially right now, there is. And I mentioned it earlier in the casting crowd. We know there is merch people! We got merch people! Yes, we still have the gray shirts. We still have the character shirts. With just Bill and James.

[01:58:08] No Shadoo, no Fray. Nope, none of us. Just Bill and James. Those shirts! We've got stuff coming down the pipeline. Don't worry about it, guys. We've got ideas. I'm just... Oh, my gosh. That was me giving you all shit. Because I own one of those. I love wearing it. So it is a little tighter because Mama has been needing. But we have those. So if you guys would like a shirt and you are in, like, the local area, local to Sacramento, it is $20.

[01:58:37] Yeah, we've been clear it's their local area. Right, not our local area. Their local area. If we do have to ship it to you, it is $25. And, of course, if you live in Florida, it is $30. Because Florida. Florida, man. Yep. Yes. You can DM us at Distance Nerding on any of the social platforms that we do that Bill will be talking about soon. And if not, don't we still... Don't we have the bags? The little backpack bags? And those are $10.

[01:59:07] The drawstring bags, yeah. Yeah, the drawstring bags. They're great at cons. You can just put stuff in there. You can actually not put anything in them. Take them to a con. And by the end of it, you will probably have filled it. Yeah. So buy one at the con. Fill it up. That's right. Shout out to Wayne the Unknown in the chat right now. We'll see you soon, buddy. I'm busy knitting all of the D&Ds. Okay, there you go. Wayne, what's up? Hey, Wayne. And we also have stickers. You guys want stickers?

[01:59:37] You can fill the bags with stickers. You could. But we don't have hat. We don't have hat. And we don't have the black shirt. We don't have the black shirt. But we do have the gray shirt. It is extremely comfortable. I love wearing mine. I had it on the day. And people have actually said, hey, I like your shirt. So, you know, it could be a topic of conversation. You feel like maybe you're not at your best? Get one of these shirts. Maybe someone will tell you that they like it. And who knows?

[02:00:04] Maybe you'll get a girlfriend, boyfriend, significant other, or arch nemesis. Or an arch nemesis. Or a squallier bully. There you go. Foreshadowing, ladies and gentlemen. Foreshadowing. Definitely, definitely DM us at Distance Nerding and we'll get you a shirt. That's right. All right. Well, let's go over the schedule here, ladies and gentlemen. For the, I think this coming Monday is going to be the last Monday game stream. Oh. Yeah.

[02:00:34] Oh, yeah. Because the thing. Because I'm going to be moving them to Saturdays. Oh. Saturday. Because my work schedule has changed. Was it because of Apple TV? Did Apple TV cancel it? Yeah, Apple TV canceled. But he's going to have a chance to re-edit the last episode. Exactly. Exactly. Yes, ladies and gentlemen. Our schedule. Tuesdays. The download from 6.30 to 8.30. The show you're watching right now. All the news. All the rumors. All the fun stuff that's going around. Thursdays. The build. From 6 to 8 p.m.

[02:01:04] This Thursday. A friend of the show and returning guest. Dan Price is coming on. To talk about the latest Kickstarter for his third book. Of Bigfoot Knows Karate. It's such a good book. It's such a good book. It's surprisingly more kind of like Kung Fu Zen than you expect it to be. Does he know that karate actually started in China?

[02:01:30] And that it was brought by the Okinawans over to Japan? Okay. All right. Just wanted to make sure. Yeah. But the book is great. Dan is going to be on on Thursday to push the new Kickstarter for the show. For that. For book three. So come and hang out with us. I am currently building the Tumblr from Batman. Batman? I'd like a beverage. It's random. So random. And then Fridays, guys. This Friday. Oh my God.

[02:02:00] What were we doing this Friday? I think we had something planned. Are we going to do Jackbox? That's right. We're going to do Jackbox on Friday, guys. So tune in. We're going to have a whole bunch of fun. We want audience participation. We want you guys to come and hang out and play with us. She just made a sound. The dog? The doll? Yes. I was going to say, the dog has been making sounds for the last two hours. No. The doll. The doll made a sound. That's what happened. That's even more creepy.

[02:02:30] Ladies and gentlemen, of course, this Friday, I believe at either 6 or 6.30, I'll get with the team, but we'll post it on the gram. We are going to be doing Jackbox games. Again, we want everybody to join us and play with us because that just makes it even more fun. If not, join in on the hilarity because you guys already know when we get together and do dumb stuff, it is hilarious. So that is it for the schedule here. Jamez, anything you want to say?

[02:02:58] If you have something you want to discuss, tell us what you're nerding out on and make sure to let us know. The Facebook group that this is nerdy to post. And connect with us on... I was going to say we need pluggables, so Shadoo, go ahead and give us some pluggables, sir. Are you bugging me about pluggables? I have SSG Studios on YouTube and on Instagram. I currently do Elder Scrolls content, TTRPG videos, lore from my own fantasy world, my own original music, paranormal investigations, and so, so much more dirty stuff.

[02:03:28] Go watch my latest video, still the Elder Scrolls one. And my latest song, I have a new song out as of Sunday. It's called The Assassin's Dance. It's all about, I don't know, murders at balls. It's very fantastical and inspired by Dragon Age. What the hell? No, murders at balls. At balls. Oh, okay. Like dancing. Yeah. Anyway, I'm also on Frase Channel. We have a little series called Classified. We take your favorite pop culture characters and place them into the respective D&D classes. Season two is currently being released.

[02:03:58] Go and watch the latest episode, which is still Percy Jackson because we need to film and edit. That's a different issue. There's also Journalist the Ancest, which is a continuation of Journalist Classes, where we will go over the different races, ancestries, and or species that inhabit the worlds of the multiverse. I am also in the Distant Stardust Sphere. I am in the Dead on Tuesdays, which is the very show you're watching right now, The Build on Thursdays. And I am allegedly on Kyber Cave Productions. Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. Yeah.

[02:04:27] Jen, anything to add? I have this on noise cancellation, so you have not been hearing the dogs from me. That was Shadoo because there is a sleeping dog in front of me, and she has been asleep this whole freaking time. I don't think it's been me if I could hear it. No. I tested it. I muted you earlier, and it stopped, so I knew it was coming through your mic. Yeah. There aren't any dog noises. I don't know what you guys are talking about. It was proxy snoring.

[02:04:57] I know that was proxy snoring. Oh, you guys can't. I couldn't even hear her snoring. Okay. Well, you know what? She's been ill. She was very ill this weekend. She has been very ill. That's all I did this weekend was take care of her. So she's very attached to me again. She is on the recovery, but she is. Yeah. That's all I was going to say. James, anything from Obi? You got any updates from Obi there? He was just up here, but he just ran away because he smells food downstairs. Wrap up the podcast. Let's go eat. I know, right? He's like, food! All right. Kind of with him on that. All right.

[02:05:26] Well, now let's go back to what we were doing. Ladies and gentlemen, if you would like to support the show, the best way to do it is to head over to distancenerging.com. Go over to the top of the page right there. You can hit that big blue button that says, buy us a taco. That's right. Ladies and gentlemen, you can join the taco party. Join the taco party. That's right. Join the taco party. It is the best way to support the show. It makes it so that we can do more shows and get better prizes and bigger prizes and more things.

[02:05:54] It makes it so that Graveyard can get bigger brackets for the build and we can do more stuff on the show, like the premium Jeopardy so we can do better Jeopardy. All that kind of stuff. Nerd Pretty. No, Jeopardy. Yeah, we do Jeopardy. I got to make sure I'm not stealing from other people. The other one is copyrighted. It's not copyrighted. It's just on a friend's show and we're not stealing their segment. Which, James, I don't know if you noticed, but they dropped a new episode. Yeah. Yeah.

[02:06:24] Because they're mad at you about it. They're mad at me about it. Trying to steal their episodes. She's like, you're stealing Jeopardy or Nerd Pretty from us? The hell, man. Yeah. It's like Disney. We can't lose our copyright on this. We got to put something else out. Jeopardy. But yes, ladies and gentlemen, that is the party time. So, of course, if you would like to follow us on all the social medias, if it exists, we are there. Ladies and gentlemen, connect with us on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter. It's not X.

[02:06:53] I don't even know why we still have Twitter. I look at Twitter. It just depresses me. Twitch, TikTok, Threads, YouTube, Discord, Blue Sky, Myspace, Vine, Geocities, Friendster, Second Life, Aim, Farmers Only, Christian Mingle, OnlyFans. It's the only pictures of Aaron Watson's feet and mandals. The beard. James' glasses just judging you for not buying all the gray shirts that we have left. Buy all the shirts. And, of course, all the things she would do for money, specifically the hand motions that he did earlier.

[02:07:23] Yeah. And murder balls. And murder balls. That's right. And apparently whatever sound the fucking demon baby is making. What? What? What is going on over there? I think she learned how to make it make noises. I can't. It's awesome. That's happened several times. Always when we're filming, weirdly enough. She figured out how to make it make noises. No, no. It just makes noise randomly.

[02:07:50] No, but I think she learned why it makes noises because she's shaking the living crap out of that baby right now. And you can't see any of this. Exactly. Ladies and gentlemen, if you would like us to break up with your boyfriend, girlfriend, significant other, pet, schoolyard bully, annoying neighbor, just tell us how much you enjoy us, hate us, or wish the internet would consume us completely. And spit us out at the feet of Ryan Gosling in the middle of whatever film that he's doing right now.

[02:08:16] Not specifically in front of while he's doing killer clowns from outer space. But, you know, or maybe Lobo. Maybe spit us out at the feet of Lobo. Oh, I thought you were saying that Ryan Gosling is also in Supergirl. Ah, he could be. You don't know. You never know. Yeah. You know. Oh, that's right. You can send us an email at Dish. I got caught up on this. Wasn't there two Lobos? There was two Lobos for a minute. They had, like, sexy little Lobo.

[02:08:46] I got caught up on this. So was it Lobo and Bolo? Yeah. Yeah. That's right. And snerting at AOL.com, and we will read it live on air. So, ladies and gentlemen, that is it from us. Thanks. And keep nerding together. That's adorable. All right. Well, ladies and gentlemen, that is it from us. Jesus. That is child abuse. I now know the joke that I'm writing for Jen tonight.

[02:09:18] Jen shakes a baby. All right, ladies and gentlemen, that is it from us. It is now time for the dance party. Let's do this.
