Jen actually brought notes?! Jahmez makes a cameo just in time for the credits, and Phil is back at it with another science-splaining session that no one asked for.
Also… did we just witness the nerdiest animation slate of all time? Rick Moranis is back, Jessie leads a Toy Story rebellion, and Dazzler might light up the MCU?

I'm sorry. I'm not allowed to talk about it
00:07:53
right now. It's ending litigation.
00:07:54
I'll just say that. All right, we'll, we'll not dive
00:07:58
into that. Well, Sandra?
00:07:59
Betty asked. And so I was like, I was like, I
00:08:03
can't tell you. Well, ladies and gentlemen,
00:08:05
let's jump. Into this first.
00:08:07
That was very ominous. I know I'm like, I'm not gonna,
00:08:10
I'm not opening that can of worms.
00:08:12
Ladies and gentlemen, let's get into this first segment here.
00:08:16
It is now time to start some rumors.
00:08:28
What happened? Maybe we should do a band in
00:08:31
Belarus T-shirt. Oh my God that would be great.
00:08:33
Like a band in Belarus T-shirt. Yeah, that would be amazing.
00:08:37
That would be amazing. OK.
00:08:39
Sorry, out of context that would mess with people so much that.
00:08:42
Yeah, band in Belarus. Belarus, yes, and if that ever
00:08:46
got around to like Belarus I'm sure they would be like pissed
00:08:49
off too. Yes, let's go.
00:08:50
Let's, let's, let's have like a war of words with Belarus.
00:08:53
I think this is great. Let's do it.
00:08:55
It's absolutely nuts. All right, well, ladies and
00:08:58
gentlemen, let's jump into this first story.
00:09:00
I'm excited. It looks like the undead aren't
00:09:03
the only ones crawling back from Marvel Zombies.
00:09:06
Captain America Civil War villain Baron Zemo is reportedly
00:09:10
set to return in the upcoming animated Marvel Zombie series.
00:09:13
Whether or not Daniel Bruhl is reprising the role hasn't been
00:09:16
confirmed yet, but it's hard to picture Zemo without him because
00:09:19
honestly, that dancing, It's him.
00:09:21
That's yeah, he is Baron Zemo. Marvel Zombies will expand on
00:09:26
the fan favorite episode from What If?
00:09:28
Season 1, where we saw our heroes battling A horrifying
00:09:31
zombified version of the MCU with Spider Man, T'challa and
00:09:35
Ant Man's floating head flying to Wakanda, unaware that the
00:09:38
zombified Thanos was standing by with a fully loaded Infinity
00:09:42
Gauntlet. Marvel Zombies premieres October
00:09:44
3rd, 2025. S Tacos on the table.
00:09:47
How will Zemo dance his way out of this predicament?
00:09:50
I have thought OK thoughts I have AI have a post it give me
00:09:53
your thoughts. No, actually I don't really.
00:09:54
They have that many thoughts. I said Demo doing Zemo things is
00:09:58
always good for the brand. Absolutely.
00:10:00
So that's, I was like, it's Demo doing some things.
00:10:03
I you know, I have to say I do enjoy Zemo as a pseudo villain
00:10:07
because now he's not really a villain.
00:10:09
I mean, I get he's a reluctant hero.
00:10:11
I don't know, he's just Demo. He's just Demo and I love Demo.
00:10:15
So I, you know, he's a, he's a chaos agent.
00:10:18
How can I not love chaos? Right, kinda is now I, I my
00:10:22
tacos are on the table. I 100% feel like just kind of in
00:10:26
the same place. Zemo is a really good, like the
00:10:30
portrayal of him is really good. And even more so after Falcon in
00:10:34
The Winter Soldier when he got the purple mask, it was like,
00:10:36
oh, even more so, you know, so you know, when they, when they
00:10:39
kind of went like full comic book, but also, you know, with
00:10:43
that Baron Zemo that we've gotten in the MCU so far.
00:10:46
I, I think it's, I think it's great.
00:10:48
So yeah, I'm, I'm excited about this.
00:10:50
And as far as I know, he's not currently doing anything because
00:10:54
he was in the franchise and I didn't get picked up by Max.
00:10:58
So Kevin, Kevin, I'm talking to you, Feige talking to you.
00:11:03
Feige. She's talking.
00:11:04
Look me in the eye, Kevin Feige, pay attention.
00:11:07
Call him. Make this happened.
00:11:09
Alright, let's move on to the next story here.
00:11:11
Well, if our talk is around the table, I assume yes.
00:11:13
I don't think we said that out loud, I said.
00:11:15
My. Talk was like OK am I in our
00:11:18
too? Just making sure everybody
00:11:19
knows. Alright, so here's the next
00:11:22
story all. Does Olympus have a football
00:11:25
team Know what I'm talking about, lady?
00:11:28
The latest rumor is Marvel Studios is developing a solo
00:11:32
Hercules project. And yes, Brett Goldstein is
00:11:35
still on board. But we like to hear right the
00:11:39
Ted Lasso star. Sorry, I got a little for CLAMP.
00:11:41
The Ted Lasso star surprised everyone with his gruff godly
00:11:45
cameo. I almost said goofy.
00:11:47
And now it sounds like that moment could evolve into a full
00:11:50
blown adventure. Marvel is developing more
00:11:53
project and it actually greenlit, so a Hercules series
00:11:57
on Disney Plus seems a likely possibility rather than a full
00:12:01
blown movie. Tacos on the table.
00:12:03
Do we think that the I like? How do we think that the MCU is
00:12:06
going to bring in Hercules, Hercules, Hercules?
00:12:09
So first I'm just going to say he's here, he's there.
00:12:12
He's every freaking where it's Roy Cannon.
00:12:14
But but Brett Goldstein coming in and Thor as Hercules just
00:12:22
kind of like that. That moment was definitely
00:12:24
something that a lot of people weren't expecting with the
00:12:27
introduction of like more gods and more things that they're
00:12:30
doing. I mean, and what I mean is like
00:12:31
going through the pantheon and and not just being the the Norse
00:12:35
gods, but now we have the Greek gods and now we kind of like
00:12:37
they're showing kind of like the gods exist within these
00:12:40
universe, within this universe. It's kind of cool to see
00:12:44
Hercules. I, I think he's going to show up
00:12:45
at some point because they've introduced him and then and
00:12:48
they're not going to just be like, all right, well, we
00:12:50
introduced Hercules now we're just gonna throw him out here.
00:12:52
And you know, like that's a waste of a post credit scene.
00:12:54
Yeah, yeah. Especially with Goldstein.
00:12:58
Right. You know, Goldstein's doing
00:12:59
really well right now in his career.
00:13:01
Now is the time to capitalize. I do think that it would be a
00:13:03
show. I would prefer it to be a show
00:13:06
than a movie, just because you can kind of develop him.
00:13:09
You can also bring in other characters.
00:13:11
Again, I keep talking about Beta Ray Bill.
00:13:13
This would be a good way to bring in Beta Ray Bill as well.
00:13:16
Oh, definitely, definitely. So Bella Ramsey is gonna be in
00:13:19
his TV series is what we're talking about.
00:13:22
Bella Ramsey as beta Ray Bill. As Beta Ray Bill, watch the
00:13:26
short if if you don't know what we're talking.
00:13:28
About the internet's pissed. Currently up everywhere.
00:13:31
Yeah, the internet's already pissed off about it because
00:13:33
they're just like, oh, Bella Ramsey.
00:13:35
Yeah, she can go be somebody else's dad or dad.
00:13:37
They're like just complaining about the line from from last
00:13:41
of. I don't care.
00:13:43
Whatever. I start watching Matt Aguilar in
00:13:46
the chat. I start watching, and you guys
00:13:48
are already talking about Beta Ray Bill once again.
00:13:50
Yeah, we're saying Bella Ramsey should play Beta Ray Bill.
00:13:54
So I do have thoughts OK, I I also have a note about this as
00:13:59
well. OK, I only did I James is
00:14:00
getting so excited, but I only did it for rumors James.
00:14:04
I didn't do it for the whole so I said Hercules thinking
00:14:07
everyone is into him will be fire because I feel like that
00:14:11
has to be it. That has to be like a common
00:14:13
like God like thing, right? Yeah.
00:14:15
Is because they, I mean, Thor thought that Thor was just like,
00:14:18
everybody just loved me. And so I want to see that with
00:14:22
Brett Goldstein, but I want, or well, with Hercules, but I want
00:14:25
it to be Brett Goldstein's version of that.
00:14:27
Like Roy Kent. Like there's a whole thing with
00:14:29
Roy Kent where he's like, are y'all talking about me?
00:14:32
And they're, and they're like, yes.
00:14:34
And he's like, OK. And he just like lets it go.
00:14:37
And I'm like, I kind of want to see that Hercules.
00:14:39
I want to see him be like, are y'all talking about me?
00:14:41
And they're like, dude, get over yourself.
00:14:43
And he's like, uh huh. And then like, you know, and he
00:14:45
just assumes everyone just loves them and worships him.
00:14:48
And I would love to see that. That would be amazing.
00:14:51
Right, James. James will be here soon, ladies
00:14:53
and gentlemen. But he's saying Hercules, his
00:14:55
alter ego, is Roy. Kent yes, yes, I think that
00:14:57
would be amazing. I have this thing because of
00:15:00
because of Shrinking, that Shrinking and Pedlasto live in
00:15:05
the same universe and that Roy Kent doesn't know that he had a
00:15:09
twin brother that was given up for adoption and that twin
00:15:13
brother is the one that's in shrinking.
00:15:16
Okay, I see. So, but that's just my head
00:15:18
cannon, everyone. You guys don't have to follow
00:15:20
that. I mean, if you want to follow
00:15:22
it, you can't. I'll be happy.
00:15:23
But that's just my head cannon though.
00:15:25
So this could be a triplet kind of thing.
00:15:27
Is it the? Same.
00:15:29
He's just every iteration of Brett Goldstein is all related
00:15:33
to each. Other yes they're all just oh
00:15:36
man, he could have been multiple man oh that would've been
00:15:38
amazing and then we could just say that he's just send out
00:15:41
these people send out versions of himself and that never mind
00:15:44
it's a miss you guys really missed a ship on that OK all.
00:15:49
Right, well, let's let's move on to the next story here.
00:15:53
Just jumping in. Vision is seeing green.
00:15:56
Oh yeah. A rumor about the new Vision
00:15:58
Quest series is that the AI characters will appear in human
00:16:01
form for most of Vision for most of Vision to save on VFX costs
00:16:05
and to help get the series on Disney Plus as soon as early as
00:16:08
2026. So guys, tacos on the table.
00:16:10
Are humans just team of versions of AI?
00:16:12
Tacos on the table I think my tacos are on the table for this.
00:16:16
I actually think it's, I think it's exactly that.
00:16:19
I think the reason that they are doing human is because they
00:16:23
don't want to spend that much on the budget.
00:16:25
I mean, it's like, I dig it. That's cool.
00:16:28
But it also, I think, lends credence to my theory that this
00:16:32
is all in his head to begin with while he's creating their body
00:16:36
and then he is actually going to unleash them on the world.
00:16:40
As real, I think this also though, it's it's kind of the
00:16:43
same thing with the first Deadpool movie.
00:16:45
It's you are saving costs in one place and because you're not
00:16:49
doing a big CG speckled and everything like that, now you
00:16:52
have the focus on right and acting, which it that's right.
00:16:55
Yeah, that 100% should always be the focus.
00:16:57
But it's kind of like now you focus on writing a story that is
00:17:01
captivating, that is driving. And it's also supposed to be the
00:17:05
cap of a trilogy. So something that that ends kind
00:17:08
of like, you know, with a nice neat bow for this entire trilogy
00:17:12
of series that there are limited series that they're doing.
00:17:15
Yeah, yeah. So I definitely want to see all
00:17:18
of, because I mean, you have a bunch of master class actors and
00:17:21
I want to see them all kind of melding together as their
00:17:23
characters, you know, and we don't have all of this AICG
00:17:28
stuff that's going on. Like, you know, we end up
00:17:29
getting this whole kind of Awakening story.
00:17:32
Where I hear Willie Shake is actually gonna be and the.
00:17:35
Win the shakes gonna be script writing.
00:17:36
All right. Well, Willie Shakes, Yeah.
00:17:38
One of the greatest script writers in the history of time
00:17:41
coming out. Of he's like a magician with
00:17:44
these things, Old Willie Shakes is He got Willie shakes doing
00:17:47
all the work. He's coming out of.
00:17:49
Her. I've been watching a lot of
00:17:50
Boston stuff lately. I'm sorry.
00:17:52
He's coming out of the woodwork. Sorry, I'm sorry.
00:17:55
He's in the woods. He's in the woods, not trying to
00:17:57
get out of the woodwork here. Anybody see but?
00:17:59
I do say I I approve of this concept, but will they be able
00:18:04
to convince the cap, the Capta, you know, the little things
00:18:06
where you happen like they are not a robot, Willie, They
00:18:09
convince them that they aren't robot.
00:18:11
I think that's the big question. Yeah.
00:18:13
Is this passing touring model? That's that's what we really
00:18:15
come down to, right? So look, I didn't know that
00:18:18
actually Pat Papcha stood for stuff.
00:18:21
And then I heard that, Ian, that is a Turing test.
00:18:24
And I was like, what? Are you kidding me?
00:18:26
Like the guy that, like, broke the German code and created the
00:18:29
first computer? Oh my God.
00:18:31
Alan Turing. But like, you know, the Turing
00:18:33
test. I mean, I'm not gonna man's
00:18:34
playing the Turing test. So you know what?
00:18:37
I know, I know what's Turing Test is, but like and Benedict
00:18:40
Cumberpatch played him. That's right, he.
00:18:42
Did yeah. So I was like, holy crap, it's
00:18:45
all connected. Right, Doctor Strange is Alan
00:18:48
Turing. He.
00:18:49
Is Oh my God, he went back. Literally.
00:18:51
Yeah, exactly. Well, ladies and gentlemen, that
00:18:54
is it for our rumors for this week.
00:18:56
So we are going to jump into the next segment of the show.
00:19:00
And again, we're moving pretty fast here today.
00:19:03
So, but we are moving into the next segment.
00:19:05
Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for the rest of the download.
00:19:15
What did James say? Hold on, you can.
00:19:16
Yeah, he I. Don't know what you're talking
00:19:18
about that that's the only reason that I wanted to, like,
00:19:21
say anything because I was like, I'm not explaining it to Jen.
00:19:23
I'm explaining it to all the people who don't know what the
00:19:25
Turing test is. OK.
00:19:26
Basically, Jane. Basically, you're explaining it
00:19:29
to Jane. Everybody else already knew.
00:19:31
All the listeners out there, if you guys don't know what the
00:19:33
Turing test is, Turing test is it's it's basically a model.
00:19:38
It was originally for robots, but honestly it's AI, any AI
00:19:41
type thing. If you can have a conversation
00:19:43
with AI and it's indistinguishable from a
00:19:45
conversation with human being, that means it passes the Turing
00:19:48
test, which is that's that's when things get scary is when is
00:19:52
when you can have a full conversation with AI and it
00:19:55
thinks and feels the way that a human does.
00:19:57
Yeah, no, absolutely. I mean, that is what it is.
00:20:00
And then of course, you've got your MCU connections because
00:20:04
Benedict Cumberbatch was played him in a movie with Keira
00:20:08
Knightley. That's right.
00:20:09
You also got some Star Wars in there too.
00:20:11
So anywho. Anywho, well ladies, and let's
00:20:14
talk about casting. That's right, ladies and
00:20:16
gentlemen, let's jump into the first segment of the download.
00:20:20
It's time for Jen's casting couch cash.
00:20:22
Let's say casting couch at first.
00:20:24
I know it's hard because it's so close.
00:20:26
For more news, trailers, reactions, check out the
00:20:29
Distance Nerdington Post. Let us know what you're nerding
00:20:32
out on y'all and videos. And like anytime we have
00:20:37
trailers or we talk about trailers here, they're all on
00:20:40
the Nerdington post, the distance Nerdington post.
00:20:43
So check those out. If you can't find them anywhere
00:20:46
else, you can find them there. All right, so let's do this.
00:20:49
Maybe odd dazzle you. The Sabrina Carpenter might be
00:20:53
taking a stage lighting to a dazzling new level.
00:20:58
Carpenter is reportedly being considered for the role of
00:21:01
Dazzler in the MCU, according to industry scooper.
00:21:04
My time to shine. Hello.
00:21:07
While Marvel hasn't officially confirmed anything, Carpenter
00:21:10
has allegedly met with Marvel Studios to discuss the role of
00:21:14
Allison Blair, a mutant pop star who converts sound to light
00:21:18
Showtime synergy. If this rumor turns out to be
00:21:22
true, it could be part of the long-awaited X-Men reboot,
00:21:26
though other X-Men related projects are also reportedly in
00:21:30
development. Is Sabrina Carpenter your top
00:21:32
pick for Dazzler or do you have another Dreamcasting choice?
00:21:36
Bill? I, I think that's, that's a good
00:21:39
casting pick. I mean, everybody was like
00:21:40
pushing for Taylor Swift for the longest.
00:21:42
Yeah, absolutely. I mean I wouldn't mind Taylor
00:21:44
Swift as as Dazzler either, but Sabrina Carpenter would be would
00:21:48
be a good pick for Dazzler AS. Well, you know, I think so.
00:21:51
She's got some acting chops and we know she can do comedy and
00:21:55
she's fast on her feet because she's done SNL before and she
00:21:58
actually did a pretty good job, I think.
00:22:00
Yeah, I think so. I don't think Ariana Grande is
00:22:03
gonna do it. I think of the of the stingers
00:22:06
that are out there right now, it would be her.
00:22:09
Yeah. Taylor and and Sabrina, those
00:22:12
three I think I could see. And with Sabrina, I think she
00:22:16
might actually be a little bit closer to like a Dazzler type
00:22:20
personality. So it wouldn't be as much of A
00:22:22
stretch for her. They could really start the
00:22:25
X-Men with pity, pride and her Actually, they're jumping into
00:22:30
the mutants their first introduction because they both
00:22:33
were introduced in the same issue, right, of X-Men.
00:22:35
So so I like it. I think it's kind of cool.
00:22:38
Yeah, I'm. Go go, Dazzler.
00:22:40
I'm agreeing with James in the chat, he was saying like there's
00:22:42
a bit more glam when you go with Sabrina Carpenter and I I agree
00:22:46
with that. There is there is a little bit
00:22:47
more glam with that. I think that she again, she
00:22:51
she's a good actress. I think that she can play off
00:22:54
kind of like, you know, the the I hate to put it in this term,
00:22:57
but like glam Barbie, you know, like she I.
00:22:58
Think she? Oh yeah, Yeah.
00:23:00
You know, because that's kind of.
00:23:00
What? Superstar Barbie.
00:23:02
Yeah, that's a real Barbie. Right.
00:23:04
You know, it's Josie and the Pussycats, basically.
00:23:05
It's gem. It's more than anything, it's
00:23:07
gem, right. So like, you know, I think.
00:23:08
Yeah. Did you not get the comparison
00:23:11
when I said Showtime synergy? Yeah, yeah.
00:23:13
So, so, so yeah, I mean, you know, and I agree with you as
00:23:19
far as like actresses or singers that can kind of cross that
00:23:22
threshold, she probably fits the mold a little bit better.
00:23:25
There are other actresses out there that are also singers Like
00:23:28
Lady Gaga is amazing. But like, I don't see Gaga in
00:23:30
that role or anything like that just because Gaga kind of goes
00:23:33
for like more artsy like roles and stuff.
00:23:37
Like even her version of Harley Quinn was very like, kind of
00:23:39
like, you know, that, that, yeah, niche art kind of thing.
00:23:42
Let's face it, if Lady Gaga would ever come into the MCU and
00:23:45
play a mutant, she would be Emma Frost.
00:23:48
For some reason I was thinking of forgetting her name.
00:23:53
Leader of the. Morlocks, Morlocks Callisto.
00:23:57
Callisto, I think she would be a good Callisto.
00:23:59
That would be really. Oh man, that would be really
00:24:02
interesting. Yeah, yeah, I, I.
00:24:04
That would be so amazing. If they went with the Morlocks,
00:24:06
I think she would be a good pick for Callisto.
00:24:08
She would she would be a really good pick for Callisto.
00:24:11
OK, well, let's move on because that's a great ending.
00:24:15
That's perfect hot take. So next we've got totally toxic
00:24:19
face cream. Batman.
00:24:21
Tom Reese Harris has officially been cast as Clayface in DC
00:24:25
Studios upcoming film, as confirmed by DC Studios Co head
00:24:29
James Gunn. Harry's is set to portray the
00:24:32
Matt Hagen incarnation of Playface, the character who
00:24:35
transforms into a monstrous shapeshifter after encountering
00:24:40
encountering weird word, a radioactive pool of protoplasm.
00:24:44
The film is inspired by the two-part episode beat of Play
00:24:47
from Batman the Animated Series, which depicted Hagen as an actor
00:24:52
who became a horror inducing figure.
00:24:54
Exposure to a toxic. Will Playface set to reshape Oh
00:24:59
I'm sorry with I don't know why. If I said well.
00:25:01
With Playface set to reshape horror in the DCU, do you think
00:25:05
this film will redefine what comic book villains can be on
00:25:09
the big screen, or will it stick to the traditional monster movie
00:25:12
formula? It's going to be interesting to
00:25:15
see where they go with this because I think a lot of people
00:25:19
forget that James Gunn started in horror.
00:25:22
Right. Oh, definitely, yeah.
00:25:23
And I don't know to what extent his hands are going to be in
00:25:26
this, you know, because like he's not writing, directing
00:25:29
everything in DC, but it's like, you know, as a producer, they're
00:25:32
still probably going to be places like if he's the kept
00:25:34
bike, they're still going to be places where he's like, hey, we
00:25:36
should probably go this direction.
00:25:37
We should do this or, you know, go more on this.
00:25:41
And and he has decent like or Atkins.
00:25:43
Well, so I mean, like, I, I feel like they're going to go full
00:25:45
horror with this. It's not going to be, you know,
00:25:48
can't be monster or anything like that.
00:25:50
Like I feel like this is going to be a full on horror movie all
00:25:54
I like slither. OK, well, I could see, yeah, I
00:25:56
could see something like that, like Slither.
00:25:58
I was thinking like they could even like really go for the
00:26:01
like, like an Invisible Man typing or oh, what's the other
00:26:07
one like werewolf, like the werewolf by night, that kind of
00:26:10
thing that where it's like it looks old school, but it's
00:26:13
really not. And yeah, I would love something
00:26:15
like that. I think it's an interesting
00:26:17
take. I hope it does really well
00:26:19
because I would love to see Batman's villains have a more
00:26:24
horror aspect to them because there are a lot that are based
00:26:27
on it. We said this I think last week
00:26:29
that sometime last week. I don't know.
00:26:31
I've, I've been on this channel a lot recently, so I'm not
00:26:34
really sure which show I said it on, but that that they are
00:26:38
they're fear. Everything is fear.
00:26:40
What people are afraid of they're afraid of bats.
00:26:42
They're afraid of fear itself. They're afraid of clowns.
00:26:46
They're afraid they're not going to be able to like perform where
00:26:49
well, you know the riddlers, they won't you know that they're
00:26:51
not smart enough. They have people have a fear of
00:26:53
not being smart enough. People have a fear of the
00:26:56
crocodiles and the sewers. People have a fear.
00:26:59
There's so many things so and all of them are fear of poison,
00:27:03
Poison Ivy and. Clayfaces whole thing is fear of
00:27:07
self because the whole idea is shape shifting and becoming
00:27:10
something else or becoming something that you're not.
00:27:12
I would love if they did follow feet of clay.
00:27:16
Like if you've ever seen that two-part episode.
00:27:19
That's amazing. Matt Hagan is is haunting and
00:27:22
horrifying at the same time, like that version of Clayface.
00:27:26
So I mean, like if, and again, it's not just haunting and
00:27:29
horrifying, but also there is a level of, I don't want to say
00:27:32
drama because he's an actor playing an actor, but like more
00:27:36
like there is there's a lot of emotional weight behind Matt
00:27:40
Hagen's version of Clayface. There's a lot of.
00:27:42
Regret, yeah. And.
00:27:42
Doubt. Yeah.
00:27:43
And you know, and just, you know, I'm not good enough and
00:27:46
and all these things it's and then just that translating to
00:27:50
anger. And that's why he fights Batman
00:27:52
the way he does. Like I would love to see that
00:27:53
version of Matt. Hagen well, and also it's a
00:27:55
descent into madness, right? Like his outer, because his
00:27:59
outer self changed, his inner self changed and you kind of see
00:28:03
that descent into madness and and so it's great.
00:28:06
I think that he's a dude playing a dude pretending to be another
00:28:10
dude. Yeah, for sure.
00:28:11
Tropic stir. Tropic.
00:28:13
Love it. But yeah, No, I I think it's
00:28:16
really interesting. I I just like that take on it.
00:28:19
I feel like that might actually get me to watch a Joker movie.
00:28:22
Yeah, more horror, which you would think I would hate that,
00:28:25
but no, let's do this. Let's make it happen.
00:28:27
All right, let's move on. All right.
00:28:28
Let us continue. Glenn Close and Billy Porter are
00:28:31
proving that even in Pan Am, marriage can be deadly.
00:28:34
Close and Porter have officially joined the cast of Hunger Games
00:28:37
Sunrise on the Reaping. close will play Drusilla Sickle, the
00:28:41
ruthless escort or District 12's tribute, while Porter will take
00:28:45
on the role of Magno. Stiff.
00:28:48
Stiff. You know they.
00:28:49
Yeah, OK, Sickle and Stiff. Oh, right, Her estranged husband
00:28:54
and the designer responsible for outfitting the tribute.
00:28:56
Now I understand why it's both of these people.
00:28:59
The film, based on Suzanne Collins novel A Fame Name, takes
00:29:03
place nearly 25 years before the original Hunger Game saga,
00:29:07
focusing on the 50th Hunger Games, also known as the Second
00:29:11
Quarter Quo. This installment follows Hamish
00:29:14
Abernathy, who later becomes a mentor to Katniss Everdeen and
00:29:18
PETA Malart. Do you think that adding close
00:29:21
and Porter is a good idea? I absolutely actually do so
00:29:26
Glenn Close can act her way through anything and she is
00:29:30
true. She is so good.
00:29:31
Every role that she is put in, she kid knocks it out of the
00:29:34
park. It could be something small, it
00:29:36
could be something big. She is just, she's an amazing
00:29:40
actress. The Glenn Close is all time
00:29:42
great, one of the all time greatest actresses of all time.
00:29:46
Billy Porter is also a great actor.
00:29:48
I, I think just everything that he's been in has been great.
00:29:51
And I, I feel like that that is a good pick, especially
00:29:54
considering what their characters are supposed to do
00:29:57
and like, you know what, what they're on.
00:29:58
Like Billy Porter as a, as a, as a outfit designer.
00:30:02
I mean, tell me that doesn't fit.
00:30:03
Yeah. Oh, definitely.
00:30:05
I think I like when I hurt, like when I seen a red that he was
00:30:08
going to be like a designer. I was like, yeah, they're still
00:30:11
doing it. Love it because I loved Lenny
00:30:14
Kravitz as as Katniss designer right in the first two Hunger
00:30:18
Games. And I was like, oh, I love this.
00:30:20
So I love that they're sticking with that.
00:30:22
And he's going to be amazing and he's going to be dressed
00:30:24
anything. Everyone knows it.
00:30:26
And to have Glenn Close play his like estranged wife.
00:30:29
I'm just like, oh, yes, please, let's do this.
00:30:33
I want to see this though. Right.
00:30:35
So Deadpool mentioning her, her role in HOOK and it's like,
00:30:40
yeah, it was so good. You didn't know that was her and
00:30:43
she was so good. Yeah.
00:30:44
The Boo box. Yeah.
00:30:45
No, like, I, I really thought that was a dude.
00:30:48
I I would have never guessed that was Glenn Close.
00:30:50
Yeah, well, I mean, she she can do, she's very diverse.
00:30:54
Yeah. Like, we can do comedy, she can
00:30:56
do drama, she can overplay, she can underplay.
00:31:00
She's really good at her job, right?
00:31:01
And her job is to act though, right?
00:31:03
Absolutely. Let's not forget death becomes
00:31:05
her. Man we just rewatched that movie
00:31:07
Reason. So good.
00:31:07
It is very good again. She's just so good at everything
00:31:11
Does. Yeah.
00:31:11
Cruella Deville. She's the first live action
00:31:13
Cruella. Yeah, she was yeah.
00:31:15
All right, so let's move on. Let's do this.
00:31:17
Let's go. Let's get to into this way.
00:31:19
I volunteer as tribute because we got merch people we.
00:31:22
Got merch people early again. I need to stop prematurely
00:31:29
merging it because we're not not.
00:31:30
It's not merch time. We've got the ghost of merch
00:31:38
people. All right.
00:31:39
Well, ladies and gentlemen, nothing is stronger than family,
00:31:42
except the new roller coaster that surprisingly worked really
00:31:46
well. Great.
00:31:50
OK, all right, Universal Studios Hollywood is all gas, no brakes.
00:31:55
If you don't know that, reference Watcher Wrestling with
00:31:58
its wildest thrill ride yet, Fast and Furious Hollywood
00:32:01
Drift. I'm already shaking my head at
00:32:02
this. All right, this will be
00:32:03
Universal's fastest roller coaster ever, hitting a top
00:32:06
speed of 72 mph. It's also the biggest coaster
00:32:10
the Hollywood park has ever built.
00:32:12
Rather than fight the park's famously tricky terrain, the
00:32:15
design team leaned into it. The track snakes down the hills,
00:32:18
accelerating as it goes like a trolled freefall from with Dom
00:32:22
Toretto's level attitude. The 4100 feet of track includes
00:32:26
elevated segments and plunging drops with.
00:32:28
One of the most eye-catching features is the Coasters ride
00:32:31
vehicles that fully rotate 360 degrees, so check out the
00:32:35
distance Earnington post on Facebook with teaser video.
00:32:38
Fast and the Furious Hollywood Drift officially starts its
00:32:41
engines sometime in 2026. And and you know, they're using
00:32:46
gravity just like Dom Toretto in space, driving cars in space.
00:32:50
I'm going to make this Fast and Furious for everyone out there.
00:32:53
I don't care. I don't care.
00:32:55
I don't want another Fast and Furious movie.
00:32:58
I don't care to do a ride. Rides I don't, Yeah, the ride I
00:33:03
don't. Family is a thing, and it's a
00:33:06
thing in a lot of stuff. And yeah, let's and we just bury
00:33:10
this fast, you know, stake it in the heart and just bury it.
00:33:16
Absolutely terrible. All right, let's, let's, let's,
00:33:18
let's move on to the next story here.
00:33:21
Oh, new babysitter for Jack. Jack, my favorite.
00:33:26
I know. Disney and Pixar officially
00:33:28
moving forward with The Incredibles 3, and for the first
00:33:31
time in the series, Brad Bird won't be in the director's
00:33:34
chair. Instead, long time Pixar veteran
00:33:38
Peter Son, fresh off the success of Elemental, will take the
00:33:42
helm. Son has been part of the Pixar
00:33:44
family for decades, contributing in various roles on The
00:33:47
Incredibles, Incredibles 2, Finding Nemo, Up, and Wally.
00:33:51
Most recently, he directed Elemental, which we mentioned,
00:33:55
which quietly climbed to nearly 500 million at the global box
00:34:01
office after a soft art. No release date or story details
00:34:05
have been shared. I do love me some Incredibles, I
00:34:08
will say that. But the Jack Jack and the
00:34:10
raccoon thing, Oh my God, that was hilarious in the second one.
00:34:15
Oh man, I still will just watch that scene and just laugh.
00:34:19
I'm kind of excited to see kind of how old they're they're going
00:34:23
to be in the third. Like I want to see is Jack Jack
00:34:25
like kind of the same age that that Dash was.
00:34:29
Right. Oh that would be great, this.
00:34:30
So like, yeah, you know, he's like dashes age.
00:34:32
He's like, you know, 8 or 9 dashes like in either, like
00:34:36
1819, which means that Violet would be like in her early 20s,
00:34:41
yeah. Right.
00:34:42
And so it's like it's like they're sending dash off to
00:34:45
college. Yeah, and and violets coming
00:34:48
back from college and and they've got a preteen with a
00:34:53
Jack Jack. Oh, man.
00:34:55
Oh yeah. It's just gonna be interesting
00:34:57
to see like where the family dynamic goes with them just
00:35:00
because they already have that kind of like in I was gonna say
00:35:03
Incredibles, but that's not what I meant to say.
00:35:04
I was gonna say Fantastic Four dynamic that they have.
00:35:07
Hmm, yeah. You know, it just be really
00:35:09
interesting to see how they kind of go about everything that it's
00:35:12
it's it's such a fun franchise. Again, we used to call this
00:35:16
Fantastic Four before the fan like this is if you were gonna
00:35:18
do a Fantastic Four movie, the way you do it right is the
00:35:20
Incredibles. So it's.
00:35:21
Like, right. Exactly.
00:35:22
Yeah, No, I agree with you. I and here's the thing, what if
00:35:26
they don't? What if they do it like pull a
00:35:28
Simpsons on us and they're the exact same age they have been in
00:35:31
the last two? Well, I mean, because they were
00:35:33
like a year older in the second one and then in this one, I
00:35:36
mean, they could just easily just say we're gonna keep it in
00:35:39
the in the late 60s because that's kind of where it takes
00:35:41
place. We're gonna keep it in the late
00:35:42
60s and and, you know, maybe they're only like two or three
00:35:46
years older because I do want to see Jack.
00:35:48
Jack aged up. Jack.
00:35:49
Jack as a baby is like, yeah, he's interesting and whatnot and
00:35:52
he's cute as all hell. But like, I want to see him like
00:35:55
maybe 3 or 4 causing me. Yeah, I want to see terrible
00:35:58
twos, Jack. Jack, that would be amazing.
00:36:01
Terrible twos or first day of kindergarten?
00:36:03
Oh God, first day of kindergarten with Jack Jack,
00:36:05
Jack Jack is just causing all of the problems.
00:36:08
Yeah, backpacks. Like, hey, I'm the problem.
00:36:11
It's me. Right.
00:36:12
Like I what I want is kind of them trying to figure out how to
00:36:16
teach Jack Jack how to control his powers, especially because
00:36:19
he's an elemental. Like he's so Opie like you.
00:36:22
Yeah, you need to like if you do it in a way where it's like, OK,
00:36:25
we need to teach him how to control his power so he's not
00:36:28
causing all these problems. Kind of how they were with with
00:36:30
Dash, where it's like Dash, you need to control yourself and you
00:36:33
need to, you know, not super speed your way around
00:36:36
everything. Absolutely.
00:36:38
Umm, you know, it was so I like how they did it.
00:36:42
What was it Toy Story 3 how they did where they aged up Andy and
00:36:46
then they gave the toys to the OR was that for?
00:36:50
I think it was 4 when he gives the toys to the little.
00:36:52
Girl. Yeah, I think so.
00:36:54
OK, so whichever one that he that they.
00:36:56
Oh no, that was three. That was 3 because the end of
00:36:57
was that three? Yeah, the end of three.
00:36:59
The whole thing was like, you know, the like he could have
00:37:02
potentially lost all the toys and then he ends up giving them
00:37:05
to her. And then the 4th 1 was about
00:37:08
like kids imaginations and how like she had like a spork that
00:37:11
was a fun toy for. Her right OK yeah that's what I
00:37:14
thought that's what I thought OK so I like that so hopefully
00:37:18
they'll do something like that where like they do let them grow
00:37:20
up because The Simpsons I mean let's face it like if The
00:37:24
Simpsons kids were allowed to grow up they would be on pension
00:37:27
now but well that's because it's ridiculous I.
00:37:31
Know ladies and gentlemen speaking about Toy Story And
00:37:34
Speaking of Toy Story Yoda Lehi who's the new toy at this year's
00:37:39
Anisey is Anisey Anisey ANSI ANSI ANSI Animation Festival
00:37:43
Pixar offered a glimpse in the Toy Story 5 unveiling concept
00:37:47
art and a two-minute sneak preview sneak peek from the
00:37:50
upcoming sequel which is set to hit theater summer 2026.
00:37:53
The idea of toys meet tech with Bonnie, now 8 years old.
00:37:57
So we were just talking about aging up.
00:37:58
Now 8 years old, discovering a toy tablet that immediately
00:38:02
threatens the relevance of her more traditional toys.
00:38:05
Is the tablet the new Buzz Lightyear?
00:38:07
No, I think the tablet is the tablet.
00:38:10
Did you see some of the stuff about like the So they showed
00:38:14
like the first 5 minutes of the of the movie and the opening
00:38:17
scene is a bunch of buzz light years trying to figure
00:38:19
themselves out. Oh, that's awesome.
00:38:21
Yeah, I love that. I love it when they do that.
00:38:23
Yeah, it's like, you know, it's a bunch of Buzz Light.
00:38:25
Your action figures all like standing on it on on top of a
00:38:28
bed. There's like a bunch of them and
00:38:29
they're all just trying to figure themselves out.
00:38:31
That's funny. I love that.
00:38:33
Well, and I love. I mean, I dig that.
00:38:35
I liked when they went to the store and there were a whole
00:38:37
bunch of Buzz Lightyear. They all got out.
00:38:40
Yeah, you have to have Buzz. When you, when you hit, when
00:38:42
they hit the SAP button, that was like the best because it was
00:38:45
like Buzz Light. You're speaking Spanish.
00:38:47
It was. So great.
00:38:49
Yeah, It'll be a good time. The Toy Story movies are always
00:38:52
a good time. Yeah.
00:38:53
And then they stab you in the heart and then it's a good time
00:38:55
again. That's basically it.
00:38:57
Let's go ahead and move on to the next story.
00:38:59
Here, Star Trek just got red shirt a story.
00:39:02
No, Paramount Plus just gave Star Trek Strange New Worlds a
00:39:05
bittersweet gift with a renewal for 1/5, which will also be at
00:39:09
last. Ahead of the show's much
00:39:11
anticipated season 3 premiere, the streamer officially
00:39:14
confirmed that Strange New Worlds will conclude with the
00:39:17
six episode fifth season. Production on that final voyage
00:39:20
is slated to begin later this year.
00:39:22
There are still 3 full seasons left watch, including season 3,
00:39:27
which kicks off with a 2 episode drop on Thursday, July 17th,
00:39:32
followed by weekly episodes September 11th.
00:39:34
Season 4 is currently in production.
00:39:37
You know I mean, maybe they're doing this because it's a you
00:39:40
know, originally it it was a five year mission.
00:39:43
Strange like Star Trek, the original Star Trek, it actually
00:39:46
said a five year mission. I see what you're doing and
00:39:49
stuff. Yeah, so maybe they did it for
00:39:51
that and they're like, well, we kind of wanted to be done in 4,
00:39:54
but let's do some in fives. So and a season 5 so we can say
00:39:59
we did fulfill the five year mission.
00:40:01
So I think that's kind of neat. Well, I know a lot of series now
00:40:04
are shooting for five or and no more for like 5 seasons and no
00:40:08
more. Mostly just because they don't
00:40:10
want to get into this whole, OK, so let's go into syndication,
00:40:14
have like 500 episodes in the season and 90% of it Pillar.
00:40:18
Like now they're trying to be more of a let's get right to the
00:40:21
point, tell the story that we want to tell and let's go
00:40:23
through five seasons. So then that way we're not just
00:40:25
dragging it on just for the sake of drag, like tell the.
00:40:28
Story like happy days and and jump in the shark.
00:40:31
Which one's where they jump shark?
00:40:33
I mean, like that. That's kind of like where a lot
00:40:35
of these series are starting to go.
00:40:37
And I know like a lot of studios, they're building this
00:40:39
model based on Netflix and Disney because Netflix and
00:40:43
Disney, like Disney can. Disney has proven that you can
00:40:46
do a compelling show in eight episodes.
00:40:49
Yeah, definitely. You know, so I, I think, and
00:40:52
Netflix is also doing that. You know, I think that that's
00:40:56
kind of where they're going is, hey, we have a successful show,
00:40:59
but let's let's end it before it just starts going too long.
00:41:03
And then you get this whole situation with The Walking Dead
00:41:05
where it's just kind of like, OK, are we done with this yet?
00:41:07
For Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones went two seasons
00:41:10
too far, but only because they it was not the last two seasons
00:41:14
weren't George or Armando. Yeah, that's true.
00:41:16
Very true. Yeah.
00:41:17
All right, well, I think we've said enough of that.
00:41:20
Yeah, enough for the Star Trekkies.
00:41:21
Enough, enough. The Trekkers.
00:41:23
Trekkers. They're not Trekkies.
00:41:26
Derogatory. Now now that's Trekkies are the
00:41:29
original. No, it's a joke from fanboys.
00:41:33
Okay, trekkers, what? We're called trekkers.
00:41:36
Trekkies derogatory. All right, well, let's go ahead
00:41:41
and move on because Paramount has rolled out.
00:41:44
Paramount Pictures isn't moving forward with the sequel to
00:41:47
Transformers 1. The animated reboot was
00:41:49
originally planned as a as the launchpad for a trilogy, but it
00:41:53
has officially hit a dead end, and director Josh Cooley
00:41:56
confirmed the news during a panel at Botcon 25.
00:41:59
I was excited for where we're going next.
00:42:01
Cooley admitted, but as of now, there are no plans to continue.
00:42:04
Paramount isn't moving forward with the sequel.
00:42:05
She's absolutely fucking sad because that first movie was
00:42:08
amazing. Hasbro recently announced it
00:42:10
would no longer Co finance theatrical films based on its
00:42:13
brands, which is a move that all but slams the brakes on any
00:42:17
future Transformer feature films, animated or otherwise.
00:42:20
So because Hasbro is pulling, you know, pulling out because,
00:42:24
you know, they can't like, really finance everything
00:42:25
anymore. That's where like, the studios
00:42:27
are like, oh, it's not money from from the toy companies
00:42:30
anymore. Then we don't want to make
00:42:31
movies. There goes the kool-aid movie.
00:42:33
Yep. Kool-aid movie's not happening
00:42:35
anymore. Yeah, I I can't say that I'm
00:42:38
disappointed I didn't watch the 1st 1.
00:42:40
Transformers 1 was really good. It's it was, it was really
00:42:44
funny. It's on Paramount Plus, so if
00:42:45
you guys haven't watched it yet, go ahead and check it out.
00:42:47
It's it's got all the good comedy beats.
00:42:50
For the most part, it follows the story from the comics.
00:42:54
I mean, some variations and stuff like that.
00:42:56
But I mean, they did yeah, it's very obvious when when you watch
00:42:59
the the movie or yeah, when you watch the movie.
00:43:02
They didn't like dismiss the Canon from the comic.
00:43:05
They incorporated a lot of it, but like kind of just like
00:43:07
retold the origin story. So but I mean, it's, it's good.
00:43:10
It's it was, it was really well. Done.
00:43:12
OK, I'll take your word for it. I just can't get over that they
00:43:15
chose to transform into car. They looked at Earth and said
00:43:19
well, we need to transform into car.
00:43:21
What would they transfer? That's really what it is.
00:43:22
What would they have? What other?
00:43:24
They're giant sentient robots that can transform.
00:43:27
What would they transform into I.
00:43:28
Don't know buildings. Why people?
00:43:30
What? But then they wouldn't look like
00:43:31
people though, because they're robots.
00:43:33
They look just like cars. And remember, originally it was
00:43:36
because it was toys that turned into robots, right?
00:43:39
They were just toy cars that turned into robots, you know,
00:43:41
And they made a cartoon to sell those toys, which.
00:43:43
Was yeah, 90% yeah. No, I know, I know.
00:43:46
I'm well aware of why they really are cars.
00:43:49
I'm just saying that's a big old plot hole and I don't accept the
00:43:53
premise, though I don't. Well, let's.
00:43:55
Go ahead and move on to the next.
00:43:56
You know what? I'm getting primed for more
00:43:59
Reacher. As we all.
00:44:00
Are. After months of speculation and
00:44:02
silence from the show's creative beam, Alan Rickon, Bill's Boo
00:44:07
who has brought Lee child's Hulk and hero to lie, took to social
00:44:12
media with a photo 4 fingers up on one hand and in the other a
00:44:17
copy of dawn. Tomorrow, the 16th book and the
00:44:20
Reacher series will serve as the inspiration for the show's
00:44:23
upcoming or season. It's gone.
00:44:25
Dawn, dawn, it's gonna. Be good just because I mean, Lee
00:44:29
Childs has a massive following as far as the books go now and
00:44:33
Reacher has been so good. It makes sense.
00:44:36
So I, I, I enjoy that they continue on with this and that
00:44:40
we're getting. Them yeah it's a solid show I
00:44:42
like it a lot and and I and Alan Rickson does a good job he
00:44:45
really does yeah, I agree yeah and he's hot still don't think
00:44:47
he should be Batman he. Should 100% be.
00:44:50
Batman. No, he should not.
00:44:51
There's There's no other person that fits the mold of Batman
00:44:54
more than he does. Agree to disagree.
00:44:56
You can disagree. Oh, you want?
00:44:57
Your home? Really.
00:44:58
Oh, are we gonna do, are we gonna do this?
00:45:00
Because, you know, I, I, I have some other people that would be
00:45:05
really good Batman. That's all I'm saying.
00:45:06
And I have put them on my Instagram before of who I
00:45:10
thought would be a good Batman. So he's tall enough.
00:45:12
Are they comic book? Act he was in, Yes, he was in
00:45:16
Masters of the Air. Oh yeah, you know who I'm
00:45:18
talking about? His.
00:45:20
I think his last name is Man. I'll look it up.
00:45:23
Which by the way, to go further on my, and I'm not gonna go rant
00:45:27
on this, but like someone was saying that, oh, Batman can't be
00:45:31
taller than Superman, right? Well.
00:45:33
Well. Really, sweat is 6 foot 4.
00:45:35
He's 6/4. I did not realize he was that
00:45:38
big. Nate Man.
00:45:39
Nate Man is who I'm talking about.
00:45:41
Yeah, Guy's name is Nate, Man. But yeah, he's he's 6 foot 4,
00:45:44
which means that Alan Richardson would be would still be the
00:45:48
right size up against him. OK, All right.
00:45:51
I like that. I mean, I look, I'm not saying
00:45:54
that it would be a bad thing. I'm just saying that there are
00:45:57
other people out there that could also do it.
00:46:00
That's all I'm saying. No.
00:46:02
And OK, I'm not disagreeing against that.
00:46:04
I'm just saying that I think Alan Richardson should play the
00:46:06
character now. He's probably not going to
00:46:08
because there he's what, in his mid 40s and they're looking for
00:46:13
somebody in their 30s. So, I mean, I get it.
00:46:14
Yeah, Right. But I mean, still, like, you
00:46:16
know, I'm still gonna, I'm still gonna hold out hope anyway.
00:46:20
You're gonna hold out. You're gonna hold out Rickson
00:46:22
Hope. I'm gonna hold out Rickson hope.
00:46:25
Well, let's let's go ahead and move on to this next story here
00:46:29
over to some DC news. Even though we've already been
00:46:31
talking DC for, you know, inadvertently, Warner Brothers
00:46:35
Animation in DC Studios has dropped a major announcement at
00:46:39
the Anisee Animation Festival with Mr. Miracle, which is
00:46:42
getting its own adult animated series based on the Eisner.
00:46:45
Oh my God. Yeah.
00:46:46
Based on the Eisner award-winning 12 issue comic by
00:46:49
Tom King and Mitch Garrett's. Tom King will also serve as
00:46:52
executive producer and showrunner.
00:46:54
So no, no additional news on when that's coming out, but we
00:46:58
know it's going to be coming. So that's that's actually
00:47:00
exciting news as well. OK.
00:47:01
So I have question. My first one is, do you think
00:47:05
it's going to be in the vein of like Harley, like Harley Quinn,
00:47:08
the series? Because that would be amazing.
00:47:11
And how adult are we talking about here?
00:47:14
Well, because they specifically said adult show.
00:47:17
I I think it's going to be in the vein of Harley Quinn.
00:47:19
I think it's it's the animation already seems like it lives in
00:47:22
that universe. That could be a spin off from
00:47:23
that. Well, Creature Commando is also
00:47:26
considered an adult anime theory.
00:47:28
I guess they cursed in that all the time.
00:47:30
OK, never mind, I'm shutting up. Yeah, and there's also like 2
00:47:32
sex scenes in randos. Oh, yeah, there, there are.
00:47:36
I I blocked them out because I was like, why is she doing that?
00:47:40
No, he's he's old. Stop it.
00:47:43
Like I said, animation wise it looks more like Harley Quinn.
00:47:47
So I kind of feel like it's gonna be in that Harlequin vein
00:47:50
vein, like it's gonna be in that world just for the world
00:47:52
building aspect of it either way, I mean.
00:47:54
No, I think so, yeah. Whether it's in the mainstream
00:47:58
DC universe or if it's in that Harley Quinn kind of like Little
00:48:01
side universe, either way, it's it's gonna work because what
00:48:05
they're trying to do is build established lore where you don't
00:48:07
have to tell all the stories, you know, so.
00:48:09
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, James Gunn just recently
00:48:13
announced that superheroes as far he's gonna like, I guess he
00:48:18
said it's gonna come out in Superman.
00:48:19
But superheroes have been in the universe for wait a minute, the
00:48:22
story we're gonna talk about. Oh, yeah, no, I'm gonna shut up
00:48:24
now. And that you talked, are you?
00:48:26
Yeah. Yep.
00:48:27
You think you're gonna let me do that?
00:48:28
You're gonna let me have my moment?
00:48:30
Let's move into the next story before I give away.
00:48:32
It's part of your story. So I had to like, go and look.
00:48:35
I was like, wait a minute, Are we gonna talk about this?
00:48:36
Here we are. Let me shut up.
00:48:37
And I was just letting you go. I was like, he's just gonna ruin
00:48:39
it. It's OK, I'm used.
00:48:41
To it I caught myself. Before I said it, I caught
00:48:43
myself. You did, you did.
00:48:45
And you know what else eyes up here?
00:48:47
Thanks to a new interview with Fandango, we now know exactly
00:48:51
how long Clark Kent has been flying around as the Man of
00:48:54
Steel in this new DC universe. Three years.
00:48:57
It's just three years. This is year 33.
00:49:00
Gun gay fans. A little more insight into what
00:49:03
to expect from Superman and how it fits into the larger universe
00:49:07
he's building. Saying we're introducing a whole
00:49:09
new world, which is a lot of fun.
00:49:12
We're in an alternate reality where superheroes have existed
00:49:15
for 300 years, and now we're just picking up on the story of
00:49:19
one particular superhero, three years after he comes on the
00:49:22
scene, who happens to be the most powerful metahuman of all
00:49:25
time. Superman flies into theaters on
00:49:28
July 11th. I I love the idea that we're
00:49:30
coming into a universe that's already been in existence, that
00:49:34
superheroes have existed for 300 years.
00:49:36
Oh, yeah, I mean, and we should be.
00:49:38
That should be a thing. It we should never come into a
00:49:41
universe as this is the first superhero.
00:49:45
And Marvel didn't do that. We got Iron Man and it was just
00:49:48
about how Iron Man became Iron Man and how Captain America
00:49:52
became Captain America. And they built up to something,
00:49:55
but they never want said, hey, no, these superheroes, this
00:49:58
isn't no, maybe you know, Captain America said, hey, you
00:50:01
know, made them think, you know, maybe we should have like a
00:50:04
group of them to do group thing in case one of them can't handle
00:50:08
it. But I think that's the only
00:50:09
thing that Captain America did. So I could see this.
00:50:12
I'm trying to make a horrible correlation.
00:50:15
I apologize. But no, I do think that that
00:50:17
that's the way to do it. Well, they also like like Marvel
00:50:20
in general had or has had a tendency of telling stories that
00:50:25
will kind of like retroactively add things into their universe.
00:50:29
So Ant Man established that Oh no, superheroes have been around
00:50:33
since the 60s when Ant Man was and the first Ant Man was was
00:50:37
running around and, you know, stopping the Cuban ritual crisis
00:50:40
and stuff like that, right. And then, you know, Black
00:50:44
Panther established that Wakanda has had the Black Panther for
00:50:48
fucking ever. You know, So I mean, like, it's,
00:50:50
it's they're really good about like, you know, retconning
00:50:53
stories in a way where it makes sense within that universe.
00:50:57
So I mean, like, I like the idea of we don't need to retcon
00:50:59
anything because at the very beginning, we're already saying
00:51:02
that superheroes have been around for 300 years.
00:51:04
We can tell stories all around. You can even get to a point
00:51:07
where you tell that first superhero story down the line
00:51:10
somewhere. Well, I mean, you have to think
00:51:11
about Hot Girl is part of this first movie and Hot Girl's
00:51:15
origins, if they go with the reincarnated Egyptian, that
00:51:20
would be about, I mean that, you know.
00:51:22
From what I understand, they're doing part of it.
00:51:24
Well from what I understand they're doing the Thanagarian
00:51:26
version, which I I actually like better.
00:51:28
I've always I've always enjoyed the Fangarian version of Hot
00:51:32
Girl more than than the Egyptian reincarnation.
00:51:35
Yeah, I mean, I I have liked that too.
00:51:38
I'm just saying like they could go and actually they could do
00:51:41
both of those. It could just be who knows?
00:51:45
I don't know. There have been so many rat cons
00:51:47
on so many heroes origins just for whatever was in at the time.
00:51:54
But yeah, so I, I, I can see having universe where there are
00:51:58
already established heroes and Superman's just the next one,
00:52:02
but then they realize that, oh, perhaps Superman's like he can
00:52:05
survive anything. Like it's that kind of thing.
00:52:08
I think that's what the other heroes are going to be.
00:52:10
I do feel like there's going to be an adversarial type rule and
00:52:14
almost a, hey, you know, you're not as good as I am.
00:52:17
Oh yeah, I. Mean you don't know as much as
00:52:19
we know. That new trailer that came out
00:52:21
like the way that was it hot girl that was talking shit to to
00:52:25
Guy Gardner. Oh, I think it was.
00:52:27
Yeah, you and your stupid haircut.
00:52:28
Wait, what'd you say? Yeah, Oh no.
00:52:30
That was Lois Lane that said. That was Lois Lane.
00:52:32
That stupid haircut. Yeah.
00:52:33
Told me you had a stupid haircut.
00:52:34
I, I, I love that, that she's just willing to talk the smack
00:52:38
to Guy Gardner. Oh yeah, yeah, well, that and
00:52:40
then also the the one where like guy, it's Guy and Clark up
00:52:46
against each other. Well, LL up against each other
00:52:48
and and he's like, oh, do it Big Blue, do it like, you know, that
00:52:52
kind of thing. And I'm like, Oh yeah, no, this
00:52:53
is yeah. And they are.
00:52:54
This guy is Guy Gardeners. Yeah, is absolute masculine,
00:52:59
masculine, masculine toxicity. Yes, at its best, which I
00:53:03
apologize. Which is what Guy and Hal should
00:53:05
be. Oh, definitely, definitely.
00:53:07
Yeah, I have. I have to include Hal in that
00:53:09
because Hal Jordan is also, you know, a different kind of toxic
00:53:12
masculine. So yes, and he may or may not
00:53:14
have groomed someone. Anyway, moving on back to
00:53:17
Superman. No, I really became.
00:53:19
A star sapphire OK. She became the Sapphire.
00:53:23
I'm not talking about her, I'm talking about another character.
00:53:26
Because she he wasn't under a Carol Ferris was not under a he
00:53:29
he did room the one that became a Green Lantern later just
00:53:35
anyway. So no, there was humor in the
00:53:38
new Superman trailer. I think that that it's good
00:53:42
people are saying and I think maybe I don't know who it was
00:53:45
that was saying that they didn't know that if they were that
00:53:48
hyped up about Superman because he doesn't he's not like, you
00:53:52
know, the big Superman. And I was like, yeah, but this
00:53:54
is just he's a baby. He's he's a baby hero.
00:53:57
He doesn't know what kind of hero he is yet.
00:53:59
He doesn't know how powerful he right, because he's never tried
00:54:03
really tried to face some of this stuff.
00:54:05
And so he's a baby. He doesn't know.
00:54:08
And so he's missed. These are some of his missteps.
00:54:10
So this first movie is going to be his big step into this larger
00:54:15
world, really, and then we'll grow with him.
00:54:18
Right. It's it's going to be
00:54:19
interesting to see because like there are so many different
00:54:23
characters that have come out that he's going to deal with and
00:54:25
it's like, holy crap, he's going to fight Gargano.
00:54:27
He's going to fight like let we know Lex is in this.
00:54:30
We know that the authority is in this.
00:54:32
Like there are so many different characters that he is
00:54:35
interacting with. That almost feels like they may
00:54:38
be like to me, it feels like they're they're over saturating
00:54:41
characters, But I trust James Gunn enough that you know,
00:54:45
they're going to be like minor characters and and like some of
00:54:48
the characters we see aren't going to be like characters that
00:54:50
are all throughout the entire story.
00:54:52
You know what I mean? Like they're going to be like
00:54:53
cameos, but like, you know, that's setting up stories for
00:54:56
other movies or for other TV shows or for cartoons, stuff
00:54:59
like that. Though, right?
00:55:00
I also think it it's going to be like Matt Murdoch in the
00:55:05
Spiderman No Way Home. Right, right, right, exactly.
00:55:08
That's, that's kind of like what I'm getting at is, is that's I
00:55:10
feel like that's what's going to end up happening.
00:55:12
As much as I feel like, oh, there's a lot of oversaturation,
00:55:15
oversaturation that's happening. I kind of like sit back and go,
00:55:18
OK, you know, what he's doing is he's just introducing characters
00:55:21
and giving them small cameos so that way they have bigger roles
00:55:25
later. On yeah, he's building the
00:55:27
universe by just putting us in the universe and we ask fans
00:55:32
have to catch up and I like that that's what I want because then
00:55:35
you're like, wait a minute, did they just say this person's
00:55:38
name? But that this hero or whatever,
00:55:40
you know, like, and I used to do that all the time, like through
00:55:43
the animated movies and I do it through like MCU and stuff.
00:55:48
I'm like, wait a minute, I just heard this name.
00:55:50
Why does that make my hip, the inside of my head itchy?
00:55:53
You know, I'm like, how do I know that name?
00:55:55
So I like that and I think that'll be a really cool thing
00:55:58
like Christmas Allen, like I every time I hear his name, I'm
00:56:02
like, oh, is he going to become spectre?
00:56:04
Oh my God, you know, like I started a little though.
00:56:08
I'm going to love doing that. I can't wait to do that again
00:56:11
with DC character. And I think, yeah, I think this
00:56:14
is going to be amazing. I'm, I was going to ask like,
00:56:17
which are you more excited about?
00:56:18
Like if Fantastic Four and Superman came out on the same
00:56:23
day, which one are you seeing first?
00:56:25
I already know my answer to this and and I'm gonna upset some
00:56:28
people. It's gonna be fast.
00:56:29
It's gonna be fantastic. Four isn't.
00:56:30
It's gonna be Superman. Oh my God, me too.
00:56:33
Yeah. Here's the thing, I love the
00:56:35
Fantastic Four, right? But I mean like growing up, I
00:56:38
didn't have the same attachment to the Fantastic Four that I had
00:56:41
to Superman. I grew up watching the Fleischer
00:56:43
cartoons. My mom had abhs of this
00:56:46
Fleischer Superman cartoon. So you know, I watched the Max
00:56:49
Fleischer Superman cartoon. I really got into Lois and
00:56:54
Clark, you know, I when the Superman animated series came
00:56:58
out, I was really attached to that.
00:57:00
And he was kind of my anchor character going into Justice
00:57:03
League, as much as I love that. Right.
00:57:04
Yeah. You know, like, like Superman
00:57:06
was always my anchor character in DC Universe and the DC
00:57:09
Animated universe. So I've always been like a fan
00:57:12
and I'm somewhat of an apologist for Superman.
00:57:14
Yes. There's a lot of people that
00:57:15
don't like Superman that are like, oh, well, Superman S the
00:57:17
Big Blue Boy Scout, and he can't do wrong and he's the strongest
00:57:20
and all this other stuff. But like, what I like about
00:57:22
Superman is when you give him to the right writer, there is
00:57:25
nuance to his character and he is not infallible, right?
00:57:29
I love right when writers give him a sense of morality and a
00:57:33
sense of mortality that is beyond or is almost like a limit
00:57:37
to what he is, right? Because, yeah, it is Superman if
00:57:41
he just foregoes all of human morality and realizes that he is
00:57:46
an immortal, you know, we we get Superman Prime, who doesn't need
00:57:52
to eat food, who no longer is affected by kryptonite or magic.
00:57:55
And the that story, you would think that, oh, you hear those
00:57:59
parts and it's like, well, that's gonna be boring.
00:58:00
He like, you have a guy that can't be beaten.
00:58:02
Well, what makes that story so fuck good is that it's 1000
00:58:06
years in the future. Everyone he cares about is dead.
00:58:08
And he realizes I am the only one who is going to survive.
00:58:11
I can survive a supernova. I'm never gonna die.
00:58:14
And he deals with his own. He deals with his own, say,
00:58:18
mortality, but immortality and and it's almost like it drives
00:58:21
him crazy. It's kind of the same thing that
00:58:23
happens to the Hulk when he becomes the might when he
00:58:25
becomes Maestro, right, is he loses his mind overtime and
00:58:29
becomes a fucking cannibal and starts eating everybody.
00:58:31
But it's like, you know, it's it's with Superman.
00:58:33
It's he he has to find ways to dry stave off madness.
00:58:38
And that has always been something for me that makes me
00:58:41
feel like Superman is is a compelling character, that he is
00:58:44
not just the Big Blue Boy Scout, that the morality that he has is
00:58:47
because his human Kansas parents drove it into him to always do
00:58:52
the right thing. Yeah, no, I so I, OK, so before
00:58:56
I watch Captain America, the first Avenger, I wasn't a big
00:59:00
fan of Captain America in the Comet because I was like, oh,
00:59:03
he's so goody goody, right. Same thing with Superman.
00:59:06
I was like, oh, he's just so good, so righteous, so
00:59:12
everything. And so I was like, I, you know,
00:59:14
no, but I loved Batgirl. I love Power Girl, Wonder Girl,
00:59:19
all the girls. I liked all the girls and Wonder
00:59:21
Woman and all that. And so I did read a lot of
00:59:25
Superman because a lot of them were in it.
00:59:27
So yeah, so I like, I really like Superman for what he was,
00:59:31
but I was not a Superman fan. And I am excited about this
00:59:35
movie. I am more excited about this
00:59:38
Superman than I have been in a while for a Superman.
00:59:41
And I watched the George Breve TV show.
00:59:44
I like. I watched that.
00:59:46
I watched all the Superman cards because it was the only thing,
00:59:49
like it was what we had from DC. You know, I was like, well, I'm
00:59:53
gonna get it. I'm gonna do it.
00:59:54
So I have an appreciation of Superman, but I am really
00:59:58
excited and invested in this Superman before it came out.
01:00:01
Yeah, I agree. Like before it's come out.
01:00:03
So I'm like, I, I'm really excited.
01:00:05
And I think I'm more excited about this than I am the
01:00:08
Fantastic Four. And, you know, I love Pedro.
01:00:11
You know, I love him. Absolutely.
01:00:12
So I'm gonna have to be a corn sweat fan now.
01:00:15
This is gonna happen. I mean even.
01:00:17
Looking I'm not happy about it. He's very he's very Superman.
01:00:20
Just looking at him here. Yeah.
01:00:21
All right, well, we got to move on.
01:00:22
We, we spent way too much time on this topic.
01:00:25
So let's let's move on here, ladies and gentlemen.
01:00:28
And since we haven't had enough news from Anesty International
01:00:31
Animation Film Festival, Netflix showed up to present fans with
01:00:34
the first look at the animated spinoff series Stranger Things,
01:00:38
Tales from 85, described as a family spectacle blending
01:00:41
nostalgia with supernatural intrigue.
01:00:43
So we do have a an Opsis here if you wanna, if you wanna team me
01:00:48
up. Here been an OPSIS.
01:00:49
We have an OPSIS. Man, it's been 84 years since
01:00:53
we've had an OPSIS. OK, I yeah, I can do it.
01:00:56
Rollin Natty 20 OPSIS. We got a log line, AKA a
01:01:02
synopsis. Synopsis.
01:01:04
Rollin Natty 20 OPSIS We got a log line, AKA a synopsis,
01:01:08
synopsis, synopsis, just a synopsis 3 times.
01:01:14
All right, Netflix. Netflix's official log line for
01:01:17
the series reads Welcome back to Hawkins and the stark winner of
01:01:21
1985, where the original characters must fight new
01:01:24
monsters and unravel A paranormal mystery terrorizing
01:01:28
their town and. Stranger Things Tales from 85,
01:01:31
an epic new animated series Stranger Things Tales from 85
01:01:35
comes out next year. It's it's kind of exciting.
01:01:38
I mean, getting more story out of Stranger Things.
01:01:42
And I mean, I kind of, I kind of do want more out of it and kind
01:01:44
of seeing some of the adventures that they go through.
01:01:46
I'm also interested in seeing what the animation is going to
01:01:49
look like with all of them. Also whether they all come back
01:01:51
to voice their characters. Not yeah.
01:01:53
I mean, well, it might be interesting.
01:01:56
I I'm cautiously optimistic. I also think this is supposed to
01:01:59
fill in the time that is between the last season and the final.
01:02:04
Season, OK, because the final season I think is.
01:02:06
Supposed to take place like three years later and it takes
01:02:09
place in 1987. You know, I haven't watched
01:02:11
Stranger Things since season 1. Oh God, yeah.
01:02:15
Just because like during COVID they had to like, like stop
01:02:17
filming and everything like that.
01:02:18
So like, you know, everybody got older and they didn't film for
01:02:21
like 3 years so you know. I know to justify it happened.
01:02:24
They're they're, they're jumping in time because everybody got
01:02:27
older, so. I got it.
01:02:28
Sometimes you got to do that. Yeah.
01:02:30
Oftentimes you have to do that when you have young, younger
01:02:33
actors. Right.
01:02:34
This is another example of a series that earlier when I was
01:02:36
talking about, like with Star Trek ending a show before it, it
01:02:40
just, it becomes, you know, too much and just, you know, they
01:02:43
just run out of ideas and they're just trying to make it
01:02:45
keep going. Stranger Things was like, the
01:02:47
whole plan from the beginning was for it to end that five
01:02:49
seasons, so. Yeah.
01:02:50
Well, I mean, if you have a plan and that's what you want to do,
01:02:53
like Andor had that plan and then they were like, no, we can
01:02:56
only do two seasons and they made it work.
01:02:58
But like there was a that this is the beginning, this is the
01:03:02
middle, this is the end. And.
01:03:04
And I think if you have that vision, I think that's great.
01:03:07
And and I think a lot of a lot of creators can do that now
01:03:11
since there are more options Freeman wide.
01:03:13
And so I think that's cool. But yeah, no, I love it.
01:03:16
Let's go ahead and do it. Absolutely.
01:03:18
All right, so is. There, somebody waiting is
01:03:20
there. Oh, the Jamez has made.
01:03:23
His way into the building. And we are here to nerd
01:03:26
together. Read this story.
01:03:30
That is, that is. It's very nice to see you here
01:03:32
tonight for like 5 minutes. Good to see you.
01:03:35
Yeah, absolutely. Thanks.
01:03:36
For letting me come in, I'm just on time, right?
01:03:38
So 630. 6:30, right? Yeah, 6:30, That's the example
01:03:41
time that we're doing this. Well, how about you?
01:03:44
You hop right in and you read the next story here.
01:03:47
It's a big one. And even more from Nancy.
01:03:51
Here's James. Can you hear me?
01:03:52
I can hear you. No.
01:03:53
A Nancy's International Animation Film Festival.
01:03:57
Netflix just rolled out one of the most ambitious animation
01:04:00
slates, offering an early peek at a lineup.
01:04:03
Oh, my God, Netflix went crazy. Netflix spotted projects aimed
01:04:06
at every demographic from Doctor Seuss preschoolers to adults
01:04:10
animation diehards. Have you looked at this?
01:04:13
How many like animated shows they're putting out?
01:04:15
Yeah, I was, I was looking at like all of this.
01:04:18
It's it's pretty insane the amount of shows that they have
01:04:20
coming out here. I'll, I'll run through a few
01:04:24
just because these are the ones that hit, but there's like 5 or
01:04:26
6 more that I saw but I didn't know what they were.
01:04:28
But it is pretty nice. So this one I was hoping should
01:04:32
do would be on the show, but he's not.
01:04:34
But Magic the Gathering is coming, one of the one of the
01:04:38
bigger IPS out there. So one of Netflix's biggest
01:04:41
swings is a sprawling adaption of Magic the Gathering.
01:04:45
Dylan Thomas hyped the project as an epic fantasy saga, with
01:04:48
Terry Matalis leading the writing, Oscar winner Patrick
01:04:52
Osborne directing, and Simon Rogers as our art director.
01:04:55
I'm excited for this one. I'm also excited for this man
01:04:59
and our friend of the show, Brandon McKinney worked on this.
01:05:03
I was gonna ask you, is this the one like the one you like this
01:05:07
didn't talk about? Yeah.
01:05:08
Then he. This is the interesting.
01:05:10
He storyboarded like four or five years ago.
01:05:13
Like 5 years ago. Yeah, and he was so upset that
01:05:18
that, that they cancelled it because he's a Big Magic guy.
01:05:20
So like, you know, he was like, they cancelled it and then they
01:05:22
brought it back. And then last I talked to him,
01:05:24
he was like, oh shit, they they like brought it back, brought it
01:05:26
back. So he's, he was really excited
01:05:27
about it. Yeah, nuts.
01:05:29
So nuts. Real quick.
01:05:31
Well, while we had it, can you go back one?
01:05:34
They're also doing Clash of Clans.
01:05:36
Have you guys played Clash of Clans?
01:05:37
I did back in the day, like what I guess I say back in the day,
01:05:41
but I mean, I, I played the game a while back, you know, I was,
01:05:43
I, I played that game for a while so.
01:05:45
Shout out to Eric. Shout out to Say Wong and that
01:05:48
chat, by the way. Yeah, I think I played it once
01:05:51
or twice. It was a super fun game.
01:05:53
It was like just for mobile, right?
01:05:54
Yeah, well, because it was one of those pay to play games, so
01:05:57
it was kind of like after a while I was like, OK, I'm not
01:05:59
playing this anymore. Gotcha.
01:06:00
But I guess they're adapting and creating like a whole like
01:06:03
storyline. Yeah, around this now there were
01:06:06
there was lore to the game itself, like, you know, so I
01:06:08
mean like it was it definitely was fun and it was one of those
01:06:11
things whereas like, you know, I'd like to see more like story
01:06:14
behind this. So I mean, like, that's what
01:06:15
they're doing is they're they're finally doing a animated series
01:06:19
behind this. But I mean, like, that's where
01:06:20
like a lot of companies are doing anyways.
01:06:22
They're going back and taking these games and saying, hey,
01:06:24
let's go ahead and just do an entire series based on this,
01:06:27
this small IP game. You blows it.
01:06:29
Yeah, I didn't like Clash of Clans.
01:06:31
It was weird. Yeah, it was kind of odd, but I
01:06:34
kind of liked it. It was fun for a little bit.
01:06:35
Yeah, but I wasn't like a World of Warcraft person either, so I
01:06:39
think that's probably why I was like, yeah, I didn't.
01:06:41
I don't hear you threaten me. OK?
01:06:43
Don't you threaten me with a good time with World of
01:06:45
Warcraft, I'll bust out my Paladin.
01:06:48
I wasn't a Wow. You'd think I would be though.
01:06:50
James played wow. James.
01:06:52
Is a big Wow guy funny? Funny that he's like, not
01:06:54
massively into D&D, but he played Wow.
01:06:56
Wow, I I remember. Not into D&D yet?
01:06:59
I was, I was such a nerd for World of Warcraft.
01:07:02
I remember like so excited for the weekends so I could do
01:07:06
nothing but like stay up for like 30 hours straight playing
01:07:09
World of Warcraft. Oh my God, I loved it.
01:07:12
Loved it. And then?
01:07:14
I just don't know how you have it.
01:07:15
I know. Well, this is all before kids.
01:07:17
Well, I I thought so, but I don't know how you got a woman
01:07:20
to let you impregnate her. I'm not sure either, now that
01:07:24
you think about it. It definitely wasn't World of
01:07:27
Warcraft, I'll tell you that much.
01:07:28
I might have been Ghostbusters because Ghostbusters has a new
01:07:31
animated series coming to Netflix.
01:07:33
It's and it's a brand new Ghostbusters animated series and
01:07:37
it sounds nothing like what fans might expect.
01:07:39
This is Ghostbusters like you've never seen it, said Dominique
01:07:43
Bazee. The show is being animated by
01:07:45
Flying Bark out of Sydney, Australia and a new team in
01:07:49
Madrid, Buzzay added. Our goal is never photorealism,
01:07:53
but something tactile and tangible.
01:07:56
OK Oh, by the way, so I kind of stepped on that one, but umm,
01:07:59
Flying Bark is out of Australia, but the show is going to be set
01:08:03
in Madrid, Spain. No, it's it's a gritty, stylized
01:08:07
New York. Oh, is it then I'm reading the
01:08:08
wrong? The the Flying bark, They've got
01:08:11
a new team in Madrid. Oh my bad on the show but the
01:08:15
the company is based out of Sydney.
01:08:17
There you go. OK, New York then, because
01:08:18
that's never been done before. Well, I mean, because I know we
01:08:21
were talking about this a while back.
01:08:22
Yeah, we, we talked about this a while back.
01:08:24
It, it being in the same universe.
01:08:27
But they're, they're trying to focus more on the core and
01:08:31
they're doing something that is like, you know, the, the, the
01:08:34
Ghostbuster core out of New York.
01:08:35
So I mean, like, yeah, it's, it's, it's, it's gonna be an
01:08:38
interesting show. And, and I remember them talking
01:08:40
about like the animation and very different than what we're
01:08:42
doing. It's not your dad, Ghostbuster
01:08:45
animated theories. Not the one we used to watch in
01:08:47
the night. 80s late 80s. Yeah, yeah, or mine, because
01:08:51
I'm. Let's see what else we have.
01:08:53
We got Blue White Samurai season 2.
01:08:56
I didn't watch season 1 but I heard.
01:08:58
Husby did. He loved it.
01:08:59
I heard a lot of people that jumped into it.
01:09:02
Yeah, I've heard nothing bad about about this show.
01:09:04
It was one of those shows I tried to start, but then I kept
01:09:07
getting distracted and I never actually started the.
01:09:09
Show it's very it's really pretty like husby like think he
01:09:13
binged it yeah it wasn't like I would go in and.
01:09:16
Yeah, it wasn't a lack of wanting to watch it.
01:09:18
It was more like it was one of those days where there was like
01:09:20
every distraction possible while I was trying to watch it.
01:09:22
And it was like, yeah, no, I've got to come back to this.
01:09:24
And I never went back to. It Yeah, and it's got a good
01:09:27
cast, good voice cast as well. Awesome, let's see the next one.
01:09:31
There's a new Minecraft adaption coming to Netflix, because of
01:09:36
course we haven't got enough Minecraft.
01:09:38
Yet, of course, at least this time it looks like Steve is
01:09:42
actually gonna be like a denizen of the world.
01:09:46
I haven't seen the movie so I don't know.
01:09:48
I haven't either. I've just heard like the way
01:09:51
that they described the movie and like the way that fans
01:09:54
described it and kind of like the differences between the
01:09:56
movie and the game and everything like that, and some
01:09:58
of the things that just seemed like weird and off so.
01:10:01
Y'all need to just shut up. It's fun and it's light hearted.
01:10:05
It was fine. Jack Black chasing Momoa, it was
01:10:08
fine. I don't get out to see like big
01:10:10
time movies but I get to see all the kid movies I've seen.
01:10:13
Yeah Minecraft and Lilo and Stitch which was amazing.
01:10:17
And how to train your dragon? I haven't.
01:10:19
Seen How to train your Dragon? Yeah, I haven't seen How to
01:10:21
train your dragon yet. I I went and saw Lilo Lilo and
01:10:24
Stitch on Saturday was really. Good was it I'm I'm in a wait
01:10:27
until those are all like streaming though.
01:10:30
If Bob Iger had his way, streaming would go away.
01:10:33
Yeah, yeah. OK.
01:10:35
Well, those were the big. Ones well, Bob Iger isn't the
01:10:38
boss of me. Oh, all right, easy.
01:10:41
Let's see, there's a there's a few others like Splinter Cell is
01:10:44
getting in animated debut your. Cell is getting its own
01:10:47
animation that's gonna be. Cool.
01:10:49
Long story short, I think that's by the people that did Bojack
01:10:53
Horseman OK. So.
01:10:55
Haunted Hotel by Dan Harmon. Anything from Dan Harmon is
01:11:00
good. I'm behind.
01:11:01
Anything from Dan Harmon that Dan Harmon is, is everything he
01:11:05
does is fucking magic. So I mean, I'm, I'm ready for.
01:11:07
That, yeah. And then they're, like we said
01:11:09
earlier, Doctor Seuss, there's gonna be like a preschool Doctor
01:11:13
Seuss type thing. I've never been a huge Doctor
01:11:15
Seuss guy. It'd be.
01:11:16
Interesting to see what they. Do Yeah.
01:11:17
So Netflix rolling it all out, OK.
01:11:20
Yeah, it's, it's fun stuff. Now you guys want to move into
01:11:23
some some some like amazing news that we've been anticipating for
01:11:28
like, what, 40 years? Let's hear it.
01:11:30
Let's do it. Since we had enough news from
01:11:32
Anasi International Animation Film Festival, it has been
01:11:35
confirmed that Bill Pullman, Rick Moranis and and and Daphne
01:11:41
Zuniga are returning as Lone Star, Dark Helmet and Princess
01:11:45
Vespa for Spaceballs to. This brand new film comes from
01:11:48
Amazon MGM Studios, and it was previously announced that Mel
01:11:51
Brooks is also coming back as yogurt, adding to the cast.
01:11:55
So there's actually breaking news.
01:11:57
Oh wait, no, it's in here. Keep going.
01:12:01
Adding to the cast is Kiki Palmer who's still being kept
01:12:05
top secret. The next generation of Lone Star
01:12:07
is on deck. Lewis Pullman is in talks to
01:12:09
join the cast of the long-awaited sequel.
01:12:12
The movie is described as a non prequel, non reboot, sequel Part
01:12:16
2 but with reboot elements, franchise, expansion, film.
01:12:21
Yes. Love it the.
01:12:22
Schwartz awakens the Schwartz awakens in 2027.
01:12:27
So before we get in, Pullman is now officially in it.
01:12:31
He's not just in talks now. Yeah, I.
01:12:33
Was just to say before we do anything, spaceball's the story
01:12:35
right? Spaceball's the.
01:12:37
Cast I can't wait for the popcorn bucket.
01:12:40
Spaceball's the popcorn bucket. Oh my God, it's just gonna say
01:12:43
spaceball's the popcorn bucket on it.
01:12:45
I guarantee you that's all. But it's gonna be two feet.
01:12:48
Why the biggest the Galactus 1? Oh my God.
01:12:54
I want one like the the big vacuum.
01:12:56
I'd take a popcorn bucket the size of a vacuum.
01:13:00
Oh my God. And I would Hoover it down.
01:13:03
Didn't. I am so excited for this
01:13:07
Spaceballs. It was one of the best movies.
01:13:09
I mean, Dark Helmet, I, I'm so excited.
01:13:12
I can't get all my words out. The biggest thing that I'm
01:13:15
excited about is, is Rick Moranis because yeah, yeah.
01:13:19
Mel Brooks said he would not do this movie if Rick Moranis
01:13:22
didn't come back. Rick Moranis just kind of like
01:13:24
to give you guys an overview of the saga of the last couple of
01:13:29
years with Rick Moranis. Rick Moranis was going to come
01:13:32
out of retirement to do. From acting.
01:13:34
From acting, right. So he he retired for for all the
01:13:37
fans out there that don't know the story of Rick Moranis and
01:13:39
everything, he retired from acting, acting to take care of
01:13:42
his kids after his wife passed away from from cancer.
01:13:45
His kids graduated from college and he was on his own again.
01:13:48
So there were talks that Disney was gonna make or Disney was
01:13:53
making a reboot sequel kind of deal for honey, I shrink the
01:13:58
kids. And the story behind it was it
01:14:02
was going to be about the mom from honey, I shrunk the kids
01:14:05
dies from cancer. And Rick Moranis, his character
01:14:07
was going to shrink down and kind of like in desperation to
01:14:10
try and find a cure for cancer. And he was so touched by the
01:14:14
story that he was like, I'm I will come out of acting just to
01:14:18
do this because it's something that is close to me and
01:14:20
something that is a big deal for him.
01:14:22
So then Fast forward, he's slowly kind of getting into
01:14:26
acting again. He does a commercial for Mint
01:14:28
Mobile right with with. Ryan Reynolds.
01:14:31
And. Did you forget his name?
01:14:33
Did you literally forget Ryan Reynolds name for a second?
01:14:36
You did. You totally did.
01:14:38
And what ends up happening is he gets on the subway to go home
01:14:43
and some random dude punches him in the face.
01:14:45
Yeah, like I'm a Subway. On the subway, yeah.
01:14:47
Random, right. And he immediately took it in a
01:14:50
way where it was like, I leave my house and go do an acting
01:14:54
gig. It's a bad omen that I come home
01:14:56
and this dude just punched me in the face, Random.
01:14:58
So he quit and said I'm not doing this movie anymore.
01:15:01
I'm done, right? And I know collectively the fan
01:15:04
universe, I know me and James were pretty upset about.
01:15:06
We talked about. Yeah, because we were like,
01:15:08
dude, this asshole ruined our chance to get Rick Moranis back,
01:15:11
right? And it's like Rick.
01:15:12
Moranis is a treasure. Yes, and, and like going from
01:15:16
there, like there, there have been so many places where we're
01:15:18
like, Oh my God, this movie would have been better if Rick
01:15:20
Moranis came back. Like there's been 2 Ghostbuster
01:15:22
sequels, direct sequels to the old movies.
01:15:24
And both times I've just been hoping for a cameo from Rick
01:15:28
Moranis. Right.
01:15:28
We've getting, we've gotten cameos from every living actor
01:15:31
that have been in Ghost Busters except Rick Moranis.
01:15:34
And it's like it upsets me that we don't get that character.
01:15:36
We don't get these characters that Rick Moranis did.
01:15:39
So again, kind of this happened and then we hear that Mel Brooks
01:15:43
is he's already had the script written for a while and he won.
01:15:47
He's been talking on talk shows for a while that I want to do
01:15:50
Spaceballs. But if we do, if Rick Moranis
01:15:52
doesn't come back, we're not doing it because you cannot
01:15:54
replace Rick Moranis as Dark Helmet.
01:15:56
It's it's you. You just can't do it.
01:15:58
So then. That's like replacing James Earl
01:16:01
Jones as Darth Vader's voice, right?
01:16:04
It ain't gonna happen, people. Right.
01:16:05
I mean, there have been people who have voice matched him for
01:16:08
things, but I mean, it's always been James Earl Jones's voice.
01:16:11
Yes. You know.
01:16:12
And yeah, it's, you know, the announcement comes out and Rick
01:16:15
Moranis is officially on signed coming back as Dark Helmet.
01:16:18
And I am beyond the moon. I am so elated, happy to know
01:16:24
that we are gonna get another film with Rick Ranas and and I I
01:16:27
hope he sees this. I hope he sees how much fans
01:16:30
miss him and and how much we miss his work and we stand with
01:16:34
him for everything he's been through and everything, every
01:16:37
choice he's made. But dude, we want you back.
01:16:39
It's going to be amazing. He's now an undisclosed location
01:16:43
for his own security. And that asshole that tried that
01:16:47
punched him. You're an asshole if we you're a
01:16:49
total asshole guy. Who this dude who punched him is
01:16:52
so we everybody can just collectively punch him in the
01:16:54
mouth. Yeah, everybody gets shot like
01:16:56
the few people that that punched Baby Yoda.
01:16:59
We still haven't forgotten about that.
01:17:00
Jason Sudeikis, you're on the right track with Ted Lasso, but
01:17:04
you have not been forgiven. We we, we know the body double
01:17:08
who was in that scene, so. Jason Sudeikis So yeah, guys.
01:17:14
And and you're also knows I've already taken.
01:17:16
Up enough space. Here I know I know Josh Gad a
01:17:20
few might have been a year ago now had a written a treatment
01:17:24
and he was so excited for for Spaceballs too and he got it in
01:17:27
front of Mel Brooks enough where he liked it and went through a
01:17:31
few rounds. I think there's like 3 or 4
01:17:33
different people that have writing credits now on this but
01:17:35
Mel Brooks signed off on it. He's excited enough knowing that
01:17:39
Mel Brooks isn't even going to direct this one.
01:17:40
It's going to be Josh Greenbaum is going to direct it, but you
01:17:44
know, Mel or Mel Gibson, Mel Brooks is producing it.
01:17:47
So you know this is going to be awesome.
01:17:49
I. Just, I just hope that the
01:17:50
comedic timing and the sensibilities are all Mel
01:17:53
Brooks. That's all I.
01:17:54
Care about is. That it's even though it is not
01:17:57
going to be a Mel Brooks movie, that it at least is something
01:18:01
that can still fit in the realm of a Mel Brooks.
01:18:03
Movie. Yeah, I'm excited.
01:18:05
Bring it on. Hey, you know who else was at
01:18:07
the Anise International Animation Film Festival?
01:18:11
Who? Marvel.
01:18:12
Oh, of course. And you know what they're
01:18:13
bringing Wakanda Eyes of Wakanda series.
01:18:17
So Marvel Animation debuted the first episode of its upcoming
01:18:21
series Eyes of Wakanda. And that's that picture that is
01:18:25
a really amazing picture at this week Anasy Animation festival.
01:18:30
I just want to say anasy in the park.
01:18:33
OK, Anyway, director Todd Harris introduced the episode titled
01:18:37
Into the Lion's Den before AQ and a session on the morning of
01:18:41
June 9th. The episode, the 1st four in the
01:18:45
series, is set in 1260 BC and it turns out a Wakandan secret
01:18:50
agent, a disgraced former Dora Milaje named Noni as she.
01:18:55
I guess we follow her as she pursues a man by the moniker of
01:18:59
Lion. Each of the 30 minute episodes
01:19:01
will take place across different time periods following different
01:19:05
artifact taken, but there is some continuity as the impact of
01:19:09
the Lion's action will apparently be felt across all of
01:19:13
that time. So like the lion starts that I
01:19:15
guess. Paris also teased some of the
01:19:17
some form of familiar Marvel characters making appearances.
01:19:21
There will be an iron fist in here and not the iron fist.
01:19:24
Do you expect? Eyes of Wakanda is set to
01:19:27
premiere on August 6th of 2025 on Disney Plus.
01:19:30
So the first thing I thought when I read this was do you
01:19:34
think that we're going to see, Oh, you think we're going to see
01:19:38
like Agatha in it? Do we?
01:19:40
You know she's. Over like some time.
01:19:43
I get yeah. And then and it's like, are we
01:19:45
going to see like a Thor from way back and before all the crap
01:19:49
happened to him and like, you know, there are a lot of long
01:19:52
lived characters in this like in Marvel in the MCU.
01:19:56
Could we see those characters? Could we see a apocalypse?
01:20:01
Could we see a a movie like name like Namor?
01:20:07
Because. He's pretty old.
01:20:08
He is old, but I don't think we're going to see Namor
01:20:11
himself. I do think we're going to see
01:20:13
people from Talo Kan like the dude to.
01:20:15
His oh, maybe. Dude to his right looks like
01:20:17
he's from he's he's somebody from Pelican.
01:20:19
OK, so yeah, we could get another like an avatar of oh,
01:20:24
whatever his name is, the moon night guy.
01:20:26
Oh, Conchu Conchu. Yeah, we could see that.
01:20:28
We could see a lot. Like we could see several
01:20:31
things. There's just like there's so
01:20:32
many characters that are immortal.
01:20:35
That or Long live, I guess, right, That yeah, that you could
01:20:38
could bring in. I just think that kind of cool.
01:20:41
Yeah. I also feel like, I mean, yeah,
01:20:42
kind of what they're saying in there is like, we're going to
01:20:44
see characters who are part of the legacy of other characters,
01:20:47
right? Yeah.
01:20:48
You know, again, Iron Fist being one of those characters, right?
01:20:51
Like, you know, Iron Fist is someone who come with, like the
01:20:53
one that we have in the MCU comes from a long line of Iron
01:20:57
Fists, right? Same thing.
01:20:58
Like, we're right. Yeah, we're probably gonna get a
01:21:01
Sorcerer's Supreme. Do you think we'll get him like
01:21:03
Mandarin? Do you think we'll see Chong
01:21:04
Chi's dad? I don't know cuz I don't
01:21:07
remember what what year he came from.
01:21:09
I know he, I know he came from. They didn't say he just said he
01:21:13
was an old ass Asian man. Right.
01:21:15
I mean, like, I know he came from like, you know, one of the
01:21:18
old dynasties. But The thing is, is how old of
01:21:20
a time was that, you know what I mean?
01:21:22
Like, yeah, you know. Well, when they showed him in
01:21:25
the like, when they did the like fast stuff, he was riding a
01:21:28
horse and had a sword. Yeah.
01:21:30
But it could be that he shows up in one of those time frames.
01:21:34
Yeah, either. Way I like where you're going
01:21:38
with all this like the idea that yes we are going to get you know
01:21:41
some somebody from Thor or like Namor or something like that I
01:21:46
an iron fist. I think that's amazing to tie
01:21:49
the greater Marvel Universe together like that.
01:21:53
It could even be like a weird experiment to be like, OK, let's
01:21:56
see how Iron Fish does in this show.
01:21:58
If people like it, let's see what else we can do moving
01:22:00
forward. Well, and there is an iron fist
01:22:03
that was like supposedly from the 40s, which I had guns and
01:22:07
all this other stuff. I can't remember who it was, but
01:22:09
it was like, oh, what's the, what's the guy's name?
01:22:11
I'm going to open my Marvel Strike Force and see if I can
01:22:14
find him in that because I do have him in Marvel Strike Force
01:22:17
though. All right, all right.
01:22:18
No bragging. No bragging.
01:22:20
He's well, you're doing that. He's not very good.
01:22:22
Well, you're doing that. I'll tell you what I got, OK?
01:22:25
You know what I got? I got merge.
01:22:26
People, he got merge people. Ghost of merch pal.
01:22:34
We got merge people. We got merge people, but we got
01:22:36
an old photo and that still works, so that's OK.
01:22:39

go to sleep at kind of a reasonable time so that they can
01:27:22
go to sleep early because they still have to work.

that's possible too. That's.

Yeah, do that. I can't believe I'm the voice of
01:27:32
reason in this. Stay up all night, buddy.
