00:02:04
Jen, how how's your week been? Pretty good, pretty good.
00:02:08
Just you know, oh, I'm watching Peacemaker season 1 finally.
00:02:12
Umm, I had to really, really just like ball my hands up and
00:02:18
really get through that first episode.
00:02:20
But each episode it get it's getting a little bit better for
00:02:23
me, right? I think I've almost gone through
00:02:27
my emotional trauma and rage for what they did to vigilante.
00:02:31
Umm, so that's good. And then, you know, yeah, Chris
00:02:35
Smith is just kind of a misogynist.
00:02:39
But he plays that on purpose. Beta Male.
00:02:41
Yeah, he plays that on purpose, though.
00:02:42
That's The thing, is that he's intentionally playing that
00:02:44
character that way. No, I know, I know, I know.
00:02:46
It's all like, I'm not saying, I'm just saying that it hits a,
00:02:49
it hits a feminist button. And so I have to like, disable
00:02:53
those buttons one at a time. Yeah, like disabling a bomb.
00:02:56
Right. And it gets worse the more you
00:02:59
find out about his dad. So you'll, you'll, you'll get
00:03:02
there when you get there. Yeah, we're in like episode 4.
00:03:04
OK, so you're starting to get there.
00:03:05
Has he? Has he become White Dragon yet?
00:03:07
No. Well, they talked about him
00:03:09
being White Dragon, but he's still in prison.
00:03:11
Yeah, Oh God, yeah, yeah. So so you'll get there.
00:03:14
And it's it's absolutely hilarious.
00:03:16
It's like terrible but but good at the same time because they're
00:03:19
all like intentionally playing shitty characters and it's so
00:03:21
good. And they're doing, they're all
00:03:23
doing such a great job, right? I have been super happy with
00:03:27
everyone's performance. I'm just like I.
00:03:30
It's a trauma response, I realize.
00:03:32
Well, ladies and. Gentlemen, independent feminists
00:03:35
in me, that is really railing again.
00:03:37
Here, you're ready to kill them all.
00:03:39
Well, ladies and gentlemen, you have now stumbled onto the worst
00:03:42
kept secret on all of the Internet.
00:03:44
You are now watching the download.
00:04:01
Well, here we are. Let's jump right into it.
00:04:04
This week on deck, we've got starting rumors.
00:04:08
Villains take over, but Dutch has something to say about it.
00:04:11
Oh yeah, I'm, I'm so excited for this.
00:04:15
The download. Giant Margo, DCU, MCU and all
00:04:20
SCCC good. That's right.
00:04:22
And of course, ladies and gentlemen, rounding out the end
00:04:24
of the show, we are going and talking about the Geek end of
00:04:27
update. That Olark recap and powerhouse
00:04:30
preview. That's right.
00:04:32
But before we get into all of that, of course, ladies and
00:04:34
gentlemen, we've got some shoutouts to make.
00:04:36

Have they got back to on that pickle flavor yet?
00:05:23
They have not, and thank God they don't.
00:05:25
I still am not. I'm still kind of cautious about
00:05:28
the sports, but. I'm gonna get it.
00:05:30
I'm gonna talk about that to try it, yeah.
00:05:32
You know what else? What I'm I'm actually really
00:05:36
excited about. Next, I'm gonna tell you.
00:05:38
OK, we'll get the excitement going.
00:05:39
Distance nerding is part of the Greek network for fans who live
00:05:47
loud whether you're deep in lore or you're just discovering your
00:05:51
latest binge like me with the geek breaks is the network that
00:05:55
speak your language or languages might know Klingon or Elvish
00:06:01
podcasts that punch ponder and power up, including these great
00:06:05
challenge accepted where trivia turns into battle and nerd
00:06:09
knowledge brain. We should get them to come on
00:06:12
the duck nerdy and we should go on there like we should do like
00:06:16
a like a crossover of review stuff.
00:06:18
I think that would be fun. I might need to add them to our
00:06:21
to our game stream channel. Yeah, I think that would be
00:06:25
great. I was just thinking about that.
00:06:26
Just sorry, brain wave fandom portals step through and explore
00:06:31
a multiverse theory a like a pro.
00:06:33
And I like that because they did a really good job on that show.
00:06:36
I was thinking about that. They have some almost Gray level
00:06:41
theory sometimes. Fandom portals is fun.
00:06:43
They are very fun show. Interviews and headlines, which
00:06:46
is kind of like our the build, but it's hot takes and big
00:06:50
guests. No gatekeeping, you know, you
00:06:53
know, whatever the guests say, that's their opinion.
00:06:56
And then anime. Plus I'm not really into anime,
00:06:59
but I think Husby would like this one.
00:07:02
So I'm I want to mention from manga breakdowns to behind the
00:07:05
scenes. So it's kind of it's got a
00:07:07
little bit of our show in it live distance hurting, which
00:07:09
we're on there. So duh.
00:07:11
But whether you're building Legos, debating casting races,
00:07:15
or still crying over that finale, we got you, Geek freaks
00:07:19
Network. Your fandom, your community,
00:07:21
your favorite people. Find out more at GF Odds Calm.
00:07:26
Please put that in the chat. Me.
00:07:28
Oh, will do right now. That's it.
00:07:30
I'm out. Peace out.
00:07:32
I'm done. All right, well guys, we've
00:07:34
shouted out all of our friends, we've shouted out all the
00:07:36
sponsors, but now it is time to move into the rest of the show.
00:07:41
Guys, Let's let's let's start some rumors and get banned in
00:07:43
Belarus again. Band and Belarus.
00:07:57
Band, band and Belarus. Band, Band, band, band and
00:08:00
Belarus. Yeah, Band and Belarus.
00:08:04
Bam bam, bam bam bam bam bam bam, bam, bam, bam bam bam bam.
00:08:09
All right, ladies and gentlemen, let's jump into this.
00:08:11
Forget phase six. We're entering the Silver Age.
00:08:14
Savage 6, the retro futuristic Fantastic Four.
00:08:18
First steps doesn't just introduce Marvel's first family.
00:08:21
It name drops 6 classic villains from the 1960s comics.
00:08:26
Puppet Master, Mad Thinker, Diablo Red Ghost Wizard.
00:08:30
And we actually see mole man. So, Mole Man?
00:08:32
They're not full-fledged foes yet, but the film uses them to
00:08:36
build a rogues gallery foundation for future MCU chaos.
00:08:40
Galactus looms large, but this is Marvel Lane track for a
00:08:43
villain multiverse with vintage flair tacos on the table.
00:08:46
Will Fantastic Four First steps actually drop all six vintage
00:08:49
villains or is this just fan fueled flavor with no real bite?
00:08:54
I just want to I'm applauding you for as many alliterations as
00:08:58
I put in that you did a real, like stellar job.
00:09:02
I appreciate that. Thank you.
00:09:03
Welcome. You deserve it.
00:09:05
Give yourself a pound back. So my tacos are on the table for
00:09:10
the six and two villains, I think.
00:09:12
I think we're gonna get some really cool, fantastic poor
00:09:15
stuff in whatever universe they wind up.
00:09:17
In yeah, I, I agree. Like they're, we're definitely
00:09:20
getting a whole bunch of villains and you know, they're,
00:09:23
they're they're kind of building on that rogues, those rogues
00:09:26
already, right. And, and I love that we did.
00:09:28
We already got to see mole man. For those of you who haven't
00:09:31
seen the trailer, he's in the trailer and like, like all these
00:09:34
different things. He doesn't play a massive role,
00:09:35
but he's in it. And, and I mean, no Paul Walter
00:09:38
Hauser, he there's like an epicness to the way he plays the
00:09:42
character and just like those like 2 scenes that he's in.
00:09:45
I don't know what y'all's affection for this man is.
00:09:48
He was like, he was good in his role.
00:09:51
I thought, yeah, I was like, oh, is that him?
00:09:53
I almost wanted to. I almost wanted to say in the
00:09:55
theater, like, James loves you, but he wouldn't have heard it.
00:09:58
He wasn't there, but yeah. He he almost felt very
00:10:01
underminer like, like you know the, the joke with the
00:10:04
underminer He he felt very underminer and I like that's
00:10:08
what I liked about it. I.
00:10:09
Really liked the pettiness he had in the scene with the with
00:10:13
Reed. He was very, I loved the
00:10:16
pettiness. I was like, OK, all right, I
00:10:18
can, I can hang with this petty man.
00:10:21
So it was. Cute.
00:10:22
It's very good. It's very good.
00:10:25
So let's go ahead and move on here.
00:10:26
From Iron Man to Doom Daddy Oh yeah, RDJ's Doctor Doom isn't
00:10:33
just a one and done villain. Rumors suggest Marvel wants him
00:10:37
to stick around post Secret Wars, possibly becoming a long
00:10:41
term antagonist for the Fantastic Four and beyond.
00:10:44
That's a major pivot from King, and fans seem ready to embrace
00:10:49
Downey's darker side. Tacos on the table?
00:10:51
Is Marvel seriously positioning Robert Downey Junior as a post
00:10:55
secret or Doom? Or are we all just high on
00:10:58
variant views? I don't know.
00:11:02
I don't know how I feel about having him be doomed the entire
00:11:05
way. We're going to talk a little bit
00:11:07
more about that here in a second, but it's like, I don't
00:11:11
know how I feel about him continuing on as Doom, you know,
00:11:14
unless it's like that variant of Doom.
00:11:17
Yeah. I, I kind of, I kind of would
00:11:19
want a newer actor to play Doctor Doom moving forward.
00:11:23
Not to say that he's not going to kill the, the, the, the role,
00:11:25
you know, like he might absolutely knock this out of the
00:11:28
park and be a very good Doom. But I, I, I like the idea of him
00:11:32
being, you know, the invincible Doom, you know, the ultimate
00:11:37
version of of Doctor Doom, Superior Doctor Doom.
00:11:40
That's what it is. I would rather him be superior
00:11:43
Doctor Doom than be the Doctor Doom going forward.
00:11:47
You know what I mean? Yeah, I, yeah, I gotta say, my
00:11:50
tacos, I feel like we're just high on variant themes.
00:11:54
I don't think that this gonna happen.
00:11:56
I really, I think though, Husby and I have come up with this
00:12:00
little saying called reaching for 16.
00:12:02
Like when you've got your 15 minutes of fame and you just
00:12:05
want that little bit more right to call, it reaches for 16.
00:12:08
And I feel like like maybe Robert Downey Junior is reaching
00:12:12
for 16 as it regards to the Marvel Universe, like the MCU.
00:12:18
I think maybe he should go. I think them passing the mantels
00:12:22
on to others is a good way to keep the movie fresh and bring
00:12:28
new people in so that so that it's not the same movie 15
00:12:31
times. Right.
00:12:32
And I mean, I would love to see him back as Tony.
00:12:35
Like, you know, as much as they're saying that they're
00:12:37
going to do like another version of Tony Stark, like, I, I don't
00:12:41
mind Robert Downey Junior sticking around.
00:12:42
And, you know, if they do a comic book, you know,
00:12:46
multiverse, you know, this is how we bring Tony Stark back.
00:12:50
The my only other side of that is, you know, yeah, if you bring
00:12:54
Tony Stark back, then that almost makes his sacrifice at
00:12:57
the end to end game, you know, moot.
00:12:58
Hollow. Hollow takes the hollow.
00:13:00
Yeah. And I feel like that would just.
00:13:02
It's just gonna kill it all. To me.
00:13:05
It is. I just, you know, I do think
00:13:07
that they've had some pretty positive, positive steps
00:13:10
recently. So I mean, we'll see, we'll see
00:13:13
what happened, right? Maybe they have some brilliant
00:13:15
way to make him doom and he, you know, feels.
00:13:19
And anyway, I've got other thoughts too.
00:13:21
So we'll we're tabling this. OK, so we'll, we'll come back
00:13:24
over here back onto this here in a moment.
00:13:26
So Dutch is cooking up legacy meat.
00:13:29
Director Dan Trachtenberg tease a possible return of Arnold
00:13:33
Schwarzenegger's Dutch after a breakfast meeting with a cameo
00:13:36
and the animated killer of killers epilogue.
00:13:38
While nothing confirms for live action, the franchise is clearly
00:13:42
warming up the cryopod for Dutch's comeback Tacos on the
00:13:45
table. Will Arnold's Dutch return in
00:13:47
live action? Was that breakfast meeting just
00:13:50
a nostalgic appetizer? I mean he doesn't need to come
00:13:53
back. I don't think it's a neat.
00:13:54
I think it it would be more of AI think it's more of a
00:13:57
nostalgia thing, but I I think I would wouldn't.
00:14:00
I wouldn't hate it. I think yeah, sure, tacos on the
00:14:02
table for it. I really have not.
00:14:03
I don't have strong feelings about this one so I'm trying to
00:14:07
have as much interest. My, my tacos are on the table in
00:14:12
the sense that if he comes back, it's gonna be more of a cameo
00:14:17
and it's gonna be like, you know, they're, it's it'll be
00:14:20
like one of the prequel movies, but it's gonna be later in, in
00:14:23
Dutch's life. Oh, yeah, OK.
00:14:25
You know, so we're like going into like Alien, but it's
00:14:29
Dutch's, you know, a little bit older, 'cause then you can use
00:14:32
Arnie now, you know what I mean? And he's, yeah, he's just like a
00:14:35
retired Special Forces guy. Or you use Arnold Schwarzenegger
00:14:39
as a voice in another season of Killer of Killers or something
00:14:43
like that. Oh, that'd be cool.
00:14:44
Yeah, so I see them doing more with Dutch, but not as a main
00:14:50
character, you know what I mean? You know?
00:14:51
Yeah. No, absolutely.
00:14:52
I just I feel like, you know, if we get him bonus, that's kind of
00:14:56
the way it is. It's like, I don't think the
00:14:57
movies need him, but it it would be a great bonus for us to have
00:15:02
him, right? Cameo, voice, whatever.
00:15:04
Exactly. Let's move on to this last rumor
00:15:07
here. Anakin's mentoring, myth
00:15:09
building, and maybe moonlighting is a mortar.
00:15:13
That's my favorite rebel storyline thing is the mortise
00:15:17
God stuff right? Love it.
00:15:18
Like my favorite. I love the hall of the mortise
00:15:20
God stuff. I want it to be true.
00:15:22
I'm just saying that right now Hayden Christensen has dropped
00:15:25
out of multiple cons like con appearances due to filming
00:15:29
Ahsoka season 2, hinting at a much larger role than his brief
00:15:34
season 1 appearance. Fans speculate he'll appear
00:15:36
across multiple episodes, possibly guiding A and Sabine as
00:15:41
a Force ghost or through Mortis lore.
00:15:43
So tacos on the tape? Is Christians filming schedule
00:15:46
proof he's a regular in Ahsoka season 2?
00:15:49
Or will it end up being flashback and force filler?
00:15:52
Interesting, the thought that I have on this.
00:15:57
I do see it being more him as a force ghost.
00:16:00
And I think that they're writing it specifically because the
00:16:03
everybody loves his new take on Anakin based on every version
00:16:08
since his initial version, right, right.
00:16:12
And I think it would be fun to have him kind of go into Mortis
00:16:16
lore because he's supposed to be the the Son, right?
00:16:19
Yeah, well, no, he was going to be the father.
00:16:21
The father. OK, so.
00:16:22
The father he was going to take over because he could balance
00:16:25
them. Right.
00:16:25
So I mean, like you, you go through like this whole thing
00:16:28
like you have him still teaching Ahsoka even after death and then
00:16:32
training Sabine while Ahsoka is training Sabine.
00:16:35
And you know, like that just kind of gives more depth and
00:16:38
more life into his significance and especially the significance
00:16:42
he has with Ahsoka. It's it's almost a parallel with
00:16:45
the relationship that Obi Wan and in Qui Gon Jin have.
00:16:49
Absolutely. I think you actually, I totally
00:16:52
agree with you because of how season 1 ended, right?
00:16:56
You know, he was a force ghost at the end of season 1.
00:16:59
I think there will be flashbacks.
00:17:01
I think we'll have force ghost, and it may be one of those
00:17:05
things where his force ghost does interact with the mortise
00:17:08
God or he's, you know, they wind up in that world between worlds
00:17:13
kind of thing, and where he's actually not a force ghost in
00:17:16
that world. He's corporeal.
00:17:18
But yeah, they can go pretty much anywhere they want with
00:17:22
him. And everybody really is loving
00:17:24
him being back. So I see this as a positive and
00:17:27
I'm 100% on board. Take all my tacos.
00:17:30
Shut up and just take my. Tacos The other thing I see
00:17:32
happening with this is this is this can be, you know, kind of
00:17:37
kind of leading more into that redemption arc for Anakin,
00:17:40
right? Like this is him himself in the
00:17:42
afterlife and that's what leads to him becoming a mortise guy.
00:17:45
Yeah, it could be or something else.
00:17:47
I mean, he, the force didn't, you know, word him out the not
00:17:50
for him to try to do that thing and then not do anything else.
00:17:53
So I mean, you know, I just, I feel like there's got to be
00:17:56
something else. There's a more cosmic thing
00:17:58
going on with this. I'm just OK I'm stopping
00:18:00
talking. Now, no worries.
00:18:02
Well, that is it for rumors. We sailed through that pretty
00:18:05
quickly here. So we are going to move into the
00:18:08
next section of the show. Ladies and gentlemen, it is now
00:18:11
time before the download. I don't know what just happened
00:18:19
right there. It almost seemed like the video
00:18:22
didn't play on my end, but it's fine.
00:18:24
We'll continue on here. Played on mine, I saw it.
00:18:27
Oh man, I didn't play for mine now at all.
00:18:29
It was. Weird chime in, Diamond.
00:18:31
Well, this is casting cash. Big swings, weird vibes, and
00:18:36
somebody just signed up to look directly at Barbie's feet.
00:18:39
Jen, take it away. Mario's climb in the Hollywood
00:18:42
skyline, one genre at a time. Ravi will star in and produce
00:18:48
Tim Burton's Attack of the 50 Foot Woman playing Nancy Archer,
00:18:52
an heiress who hit skyscraper height after Alien contact, the
00:18:56
project still circling a new screenwriter post Gillian Flynn.
00:19:01
So yeah. That's interesting.
00:19:03
Could this, could it be a like they're gonna do like those old,
00:19:07
like 50s kind of villain, like those matinee villain things,
00:19:11
And then maybe they'll make them their own IP.
00:19:13
It seems like Tim Burton would be the guy to do something like
00:19:16
that. Yeah.
00:19:18
So with Tim Burton's kind of sensibilities, I can see them
00:19:22
doing this. The thing is, is I almost want
00:19:25
them to do this in the same way that they did it in the 5th.
00:19:29
You know, I kind of don't want it to be like, you know, CGI
00:19:33
small, you know, like I would love for them to do the forced
00:19:36
perspective that they did in the 50s well.
00:19:38
Burton loves stuff like that. Yeah, because I think when.
00:19:41
He did Ed Wood. A lot of that stuff was
00:19:43
practical. Yeah, like I would love to see
00:19:45
them do this in in with practical effects and everything
00:19:49
like that. Just you know Tim, the attack of
00:19:51
the 50 foot woman works extremely well for Tim Burton.
00:19:55
Yeah, and also Margot Robbie and then you've got she learned a
00:19:58
lot by doing Barbie because they did a lot of the Bart like the.
00:20:02
Arby's sets we're all rule so that you know I think I think
00:20:06
it's a good pairing I think it's a good pairing.
00:20:08
Let's move on though, because we got tons of stuff going through.
00:20:11
All right. Next we have leather jackets,
00:20:13
laser beams and feeling. This invasion's got issue find
00:20:17
in depth play extraterrestrials disguised as a 1950s biker gang
00:20:23
in this Indies sci-fi from the Zellner brothers.
00:20:26
Emotional glitches ensue. They joined Cate Blanchett, Dave
00:20:30
Batista and Leah. That do they do they do in
00:20:35
what's shaping up to be cosmic comedy with feeling.
00:20:39
I'm actually, I didn't know about this, but just looking at
00:20:42
the cast like Cate Blanchett, Dave Batista, the Chris Pine,
00:20:45
Lily Rose Depp and Lily Rose Depp is killing it right now.
00:20:48
Like just kind of everything she's been in has been great.
00:20:51
And then you take that and you're doing 1950s biker gang in
00:20:54
an indie sci-fi movie. Like I don't want to see this.
00:20:58
About aliens, right? Like that, That's the thing.
00:21:00
But it's just, to me anyway, the concept.
00:21:02
Just. Seems I just think it's awesome.
00:21:03
Yeah, the concept of it seems fun, like Tater said.
00:21:06
Flared bass. There we go.
00:21:07
There you go. But I think it's all kind of
00:21:09
have both these have 50s vibes. They do, I noticed that too.
00:21:12
I noticed that there's like just crazy 50s vibes on on this.
00:21:16
It wasn't intentional, it was totally excellent.
00:21:19
All right, so casting that proves Hollywood still got room
00:21:22
for aliens and skyscraper sized women that beat perch people we
00:21:27
got. Merch still too early, soon,
00:21:31
still too soon. I get you every time.
00:21:33
You do, You really do. It just makes me hit the button
00:21:36
and it happens. Well, let's jump into.
00:21:38
Lothian at this. Point.
00:21:39
I know, I know. Just we got merch Rabo.
00:21:41
Hold on, we go. All right, well, let's jump into
00:21:49
the rest of the news here. Go ahead and take it away, Jen.
00:21:52
Oh, it's me. I'm the problem.
00:21:53
It's me, Guns, shaping the emotional blueprint of the DC
00:21:59
Universe 1 Easter egg and playlist pick at a tie.
00:22:03
He's so good about that. From teasing Superman's next
00:22:07
chapter to hinting at Ultraman's return, Gun is signaling a
00:22:11
future built on deep cut and bold tones.
00:22:14
He's resurrecting background mural characters, giving
00:22:18
Peacemaker Season 2 a new Sonic identity, and calling out rock
00:22:22
royalty as the source of its opening track.
00:22:25
Behind In the scenes, 9 DC projects are actively churning
00:22:28
proof the DCU isn't just a concept, it's a living, evolving
00:22:32
creative ecosystem. But it's not all hype.
00:22:35
Gunn's candid admission that the Authority might be in trouble
00:22:39
shows his commitment to transparency.
00:22:41
Which, I mean, he's, he's talking about it all the time.
00:22:44
That's why he's on our show all the time.
00:22:46
He should just come on our show. I sent an invite out.
00:22:49
I actually did send him an invite.
00:22:50
Cool, let's get him all right. He's building trust by showing
00:22:54
the gears, not just just the glow.
00:22:56
The DC Undergun is fast, fluid, and fearlessly weird, with room
00:23:00
for misfit icons and fans who love their storytelling with a
00:23:05
side of Chaos and Pandora. It's exciting.
00:23:08
I mean, I'm I'm, I'm. It's not.
00:23:10
Candor. But I said it like Pandora
00:23:13
because that's a bottled city. And so it was like a little
00:23:16
like. I see what you did there.
00:23:17
I see what you did there. And then Vader asked for this.
00:23:20
Again, I'm excited for this just because from what we've gotten
00:23:23
so far, Superman was great. I love creature Commandos.
00:23:28
You know, the next thing we have coming up is Peacemaker and
00:23:30
they're gonna address kind of like the crossover with the
00:23:33
Snyder verse and everything like that and, and almost like a
00:23:36
multiversal thing. So I'm, I'm kind of, I'm kind of
00:23:39
excited for all of this because I, I love kind of his
00:23:42
sensibilities and, and just the, the amount of how much he knows
00:23:46
the comics, you know, like the, the like everything has just
00:23:50
been comics on screen. And it's like, it's exactly what
00:23:53
I want out of, out of DC, DC movies.
00:23:55
Did you see? Did you actually see when he
00:23:58
posted the mural on Instagram? The The Peacemaker 1.
00:24:01
No, the mural of from the Hall of Justice.
00:24:05
I so I did and and that was The thing is I, I remember I was
00:24:08
calling out certain characters that I saw in that mural.
00:24:10
Yeah, well, I actually think that that mural might tell us
00:24:14
what movies are coming, like what things they're focused on.
00:24:17
It could be so. I mean, because Matt Mercury is
00:24:20
in it a couple of times as a couple of different people and
00:24:25
you've got like Lady Bullet and Double It.
00:24:27
And then you've got like, I don't know, you got a lot of.
00:24:30
There are a lot of people in it. There's like an exiled Amazon in
00:24:33
it that has that hammer. I can't remember her name.
00:24:35
Don't ask. So that could.
00:24:37
The one I'm gonna ask. I just can't remember what she
00:24:40
was called, but she they, they did a thing where she was
00:24:43
actually an exiled Amazon. So that could lead into the
00:24:46
character, but that could lead into the Amazon series that
00:24:50
they're doing. Like all of these could be
00:24:53
leading to other projects. That's what I'm saying.
00:24:56
So people are just like, these are who's there.
00:24:58
And I'm like, yeah, but what groups are they in?
00:25:00
The other thing about James, yeah, the other thing about
00:25:02
James Gunn is nothing is ever an accident when it comes to what
00:25:06
he shows on screen. So if he shows something on
00:25:09
screen, it's exactly what you're saying right now is that you
00:25:12
know it is going to be 100% something that shows up later.
00:25:16
Whether it's just hey, look, this is how long meta humans
00:25:20
have been around right and I mean it could be that, but
00:25:22
obviously those are stories that could told.
00:25:25
We've got a speedster in there so that means we're gonna get
00:25:27
speedster, we've got an Amazon, we're gonna get Amazon.
00:25:30
So we've got the the ACT scientific accident kind of
00:25:34
thing. Yeah.
00:25:35
And so you're, you know, that the nod to Flash or could be
00:25:39
like a Green Lantern. There's, you know, there's so
00:25:42
many different things. There's the silent knife in
00:25:45
there, Phantom ladies in there. So does that mean we're gonna
00:25:48
get All Star Squadron or Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters?
00:25:53
You know, they could go all of these different routes, but
00:25:56
there's so many different things.
00:25:58
I. Mean, you know, they just talked
00:26:00
about Sergeant Rock is moving forward again and it's like, OK,
00:26:02
well, if Sergeant Rock's happening then Uncle Sam and the
00:26:04
Freedom Fighters makes makes sense, right?
00:26:06
You know, then are we going? To get a Phantom Lady
00:26:09
appearance, you know, like that would be amazing.
00:26:12
Right. That actually makes me think
00:26:14
that, you know, like when you have these period pieces like
00:26:17
Sergeant Rock and and things like that, that's that's where
00:26:19
we get those types of characters.
00:26:21
Yeah, so, so I was just, it really got me to thinking we got
00:26:25
my head all itchy and so I started thinking about these
00:26:28
things. So anyway, we should move on.
00:26:29
I think we've this quick bite has just become a bite and a
00:26:33
half. Yeah, let's move.
00:26:34
On let's. Let's go ahead and move on here,
00:26:37
please. Right.
00:26:37
Marvel was building the final finale with bricks, chaos, and a
00:26:41
lot of caffeine. Sorry.
00:26:42
Phase rewrite. Please rewrite me because I said
00:26:45
that wrong. Please rewrite.
00:26:47
Yeah, please rewrite. No phase rewrite three months
00:26:49
into production and the scripts still getting tweaks, with the
00:26:53
creative team claiming there's plussing happening every day.
00:26:57
That's Marvelese for constant revisions mid filming,
00:27:01
brainstorming, and a whole lot of creative panic in motion
00:27:03
translation. They're rewriting on the fly and
00:27:06
hoping the multiverse gods sorted out improv with capes.
00:27:09
Yeah. You know, I agree.
00:27:11
I think that it's OK. So this is just the business
00:27:15
model of DC versus Marvel. This right here.
00:27:19
Because the story before this, James Gunn was talking about how
00:27:23
authority might be in trouble. And that's because Grip's
00:27:26
probably not where he wants it be, right?
00:27:28
But you've got this huge event that they're doing and they're
00:27:32
still rewriting. It's been 3 months.
00:27:35
They should know what the vision is and they shouldn't have to
00:27:38
rewrite this month. That's what I'm saying is I
00:27:40
don't. It's just business model
00:27:41
differences. And I have to say I really like
00:27:44
the DCU business model more than the MCU business model because I
00:27:49
have less anxiety, right? So and also like it cost
00:27:53
overages you. Like people have to come in when
00:27:57
they weren't contracted to come in.
00:27:59
That's more money like this. It balloons everything, which
00:28:02
means they have to make more money back.
00:28:04
Does quality suffer? It could.
00:28:06
I just feel like it's, it's a lot.
00:28:08
Yeah. And again, I'm, I'm feeling like
00:28:10
Feige is just seeing the quality that is coming out of DC and
00:28:15
it's like, I've got a, I've got a, I've got to start playing
00:28:17
again. Like feel like he got complicit
00:28:19
for a while and it's just like it's time for me to stop playing
00:28:21
around and get back in the game. Yeah, no, I agree with you.
00:28:24
I just, I, I just don't, I'm maybe I'm just high on DC right
00:28:28
now. I don't know.
00:28:29
It could be because I mean they did they did a really good job
00:28:32
with Fantastic Four. Now it's is it the most amazing
00:28:36
movie ever? No, but it is better than some
00:28:38
of the other FF movies that have been out there.
00:28:40
So I mean like. It is a solid Fantastic Four
00:28:43
first, right? It really is there there.
00:28:45
It's like little tiny plot hole. And the CGI with Franklin, you
00:28:50
know, the scene at the end, that CGI was horrible.
00:28:55
But other than that, it was a great movie.
00:28:57
So I'm not like loved how Pedro and Vanessa, I loved their
00:29:02
chemistry. I loved how they were together.
00:29:04
When she was freaking out, he was calm.
00:29:07
When he was freaking out, she was calm.
00:29:09
That is a marriage. That's a marriage.
00:29:11
Right there there's also. Johnny, I was.
00:29:13
Gonna say the family dynamic with all of them, right.
00:29:15
Like they are. Yeah, they are a family.
00:29:18
There was no, it didn't feel disjointed at all.
00:29:22
Like all of them felt very together and on the same page.
00:29:26
I loved how incredibly intelligent they had every
00:29:29
character come across. There wasn't just, you know,
00:29:32
Johnny's the Playboy, but like, Johnny also figures out probably
00:29:36
one of the biggest, you know, plot points in the movie, you
00:29:39
know, Yeah. No, absolutely.
00:29:41
And. Shouldn't give any of it away.
00:29:43
That's why I said it the way I said it.
00:29:44
Johnny's got a big brain in this, y'all?
00:29:47
Yeah, like Johnny is smart. There's no doubt that that that
00:29:52
The thing is an engineer. Like, I mean, he he same thing.
00:29:56
He's he's not just big and brawny.
00:29:58
He figures things out and he's extremely smart.
00:30:00
And of course Reed comes off as Reed.
00:30:03
Like if you know the comics, he is very Reed Richards.
00:30:06
Yeah, I'm like when the scene where Sue was talking about
00:30:10
where his in his dark thought and I was like, no, that's
00:30:13
totally Reed. And I didn't read a lot of
00:30:15
Fantastic Four comics, so I don't know, like if there's
00:30:19
string too far or not. I know they've changed some
00:30:21
things, but. And people are like, well, Sue's
00:30:24
leading the team and I was like, no, they're a family.
00:30:26
Yeah, Sue's the mom. She's she's the maternal figure
00:30:30
at the heart of the team and they all take care of her and
00:30:34
listen to her. Yeah.
00:30:35
And that that's a ma, that's mom.
00:30:37
And Reed is the dad. And Johnny, you know, gives him
00:30:40
a lot of crap and Ben's his best friend.
00:30:43
Ben's, you know, Reed's best friend.
00:30:45
So they all and they all had those genuine relationships.
00:30:48
Anyway, let's keep. Yeah, real quick.
00:30:50
I was just gonna say the the the thing about Reed Richardson this
00:30:53
as well is he is extremely not only analytical, but very he
00:30:59
looks at everything as as if they're numbers and probability,
00:31:03
which is also one of the worst traits that Reid has.
00:31:07
And I love that they already set that up.
00:31:09
Yeah. You know, because he does look
00:31:11
at things as well, the probability of something
00:31:14
happening or the numbers behind this.
00:31:16
And that kind of leads him in the comics to make really bad
00:31:19
decisions, which is where a lot of people will be like, well,
00:31:21
Reid is a villain in the comics sometimes.
00:31:23
Like, no, he just makes bad decisions based on numbers.
00:31:26
He's he's he's such a scientist that he puts science before his
00:31:29
emotions. Yeah, absolutely.
00:31:31
Yeah. And he?
00:31:32
And yeah. Yeah, and they very much did
00:31:34
that in this that he is not super emotional, like he's very
00:31:38
emotional. He's very in touch with his
00:31:39
emotions, but he's a scientist 1st.
00:31:41
And that's one of the worst, best and worst traits that Reed
00:31:44
Richards. Has yeah, he he needs to solve
00:31:47
the problem right. He's a need to solve the problem
00:31:49
guy, which is also very similar to tone.
00:31:52
So I can see the parallels between that, whereas like maybe
00:31:55
Howard Stark and Reed Richards would have been friends and
00:31:59
absolutely the, you know, the main and the universe.
00:32:02
But let's move on to Tony Stark, shall we?
00:32:06
Or. Doom or Doctor Stark, something
00:32:10
like that. Feige's been playing villain
00:32:13
chess and Phase 3. Kevin Feige casually confirmed
00:32:17
that Marvel considered Robert Downey Junior for Doctor Doom
00:32:21
long before Quantum Mania blip and onto the radar.
00:32:24
It's an alternative reality flex and a reminder that no casting
00:32:28
fan theory is too wild to be true.
00:32:32
And Kev in multiverse playbook translation.
00:32:36
Never underestimate Marvels ability to recycle royalty with
00:32:40
a villainous player. So I, I mean, I talked about
00:32:43
this in in the rumors section is yeah, they've been kind of like
00:32:47
it seems like he's been planning on on RDJ to be Doctor Doom for
00:32:51
a while. But in the end, I like it when
00:32:54
you're like if they if if they go the route of him being
00:32:57
superior Doctor Doom. But just yeah, that variant of
00:33:00
Doctor Doom. Like again, I'm I'm still on in
00:33:04
the camp of I would rather Killian Murphy play play Doctor
00:33:07
Doom. I think he would kill, he would
00:33:08
kill it as Doctor Doom. And I kind of want John present
00:33:10
to do. It John Krasinski would be fun
00:33:12
too, considering that, you know, in another multiverse that he
00:33:15
was Reed Richards. So I mean, I like the idea of
00:33:18
that. I mean, it would just be
00:33:19
something fun to play with. Although I really think that
00:33:21
we're moving towards the Illuminati with Fantastic Four.
00:33:24
There's something in the movie that like pinged Illuminati for
00:33:28
me, and I can't remember what it was, but I think we're moving
00:33:31
that way. Maybe it was the Future
00:33:32
Foundation, but I don't know anyway.
00:33:34
And that also would set up World War Hulk.
00:33:37
So yeah, there we go. All right.
00:33:38
Well, let's it was. Just vibes, people.
00:33:40
It was vibe it was. I don't have any information on
00:33:43
the Illuminati coming. Soon, right?
00:33:45
Yeah, we don't. We don't.
00:33:46
The Illuminati's been in Marvel, and that's The thing is we know
00:33:49
that they've already set up the Illuminati exists.
00:33:52
So, you know, now we're gonna get like, this would be a way to
00:33:55
form the Illuminati in this universe, in the 616.
00:33:58
Yeah, so I just, you know, it's one of those anywhere there's a
00:34:01
Reed Richards, there's probably an Illuminati right somewhere.
00:34:04
Right, right. Exactly.
00:34:06
OK, let's move on. Let me.
00:34:07
Just do this. Fresh roster, savage stakes, and
00:34:13
X marks the danger. The incoming X-Men director says
00:34:16
the reboot will be recognizably different, with ambitions to tap
00:34:21
into the massive scope embedded in the comics.
00:34:23
After years of scale downs, this could finally be the comics
00:34:27
level narrative. Mutants deserve translation,
00:34:30
less leather, more lore. They're going full Omega level
00:34:33
this time and I'm here for it. Exactly.
00:34:35
It was cosmic level, comic level narrative worked.
00:34:39
Yeah, I mean just as well, right, Right.
00:34:41
I I My thing is I. Have no idea what I'm talking
00:34:44
about. I want the Omega level, you
00:34:49
know, like Marvel characters and, and X-Men characters.
00:34:52
I mean, like there's so much you can do with the X-Men and
00:34:55
there's so much more that gets added into the overall world of
00:35:00
Marvel when you add the X-Men into it.
00:35:02
And I've been waiting for this, you know, because now you can do
00:35:06
these whole things where you have, you know, X-Men villains
00:35:09
that are attacking The Avengers and you have something you, you,
00:35:13
you can set up storylines for the X-Men within an Avengers
00:35:15
movie and vice versa, you know, now.
00:35:17
No, I I agree. I'm all for this.
00:35:20
I think this is going to be amazing.
00:35:22
I can't wait to see it. You know, and then one of the
00:35:25
things I've been waiting for forever is, you know, for those
00:35:29
of you who know the comics, Wolverine is a OG Avenger.
00:35:32
I can't wait to see Wolverine as an YEAH.
00:35:34
Yeah, yeah, I, you know, I, I'm really excited about it.
00:35:38
I can't wait to see what they do with it, you know, where they
00:35:42
bring us in, you know, is it going to be halfway through
00:35:46
Rogue and Gambit flirtathon or is it going to like, are they
00:35:49
going to go from like, you know, giant size X-Men one where they
00:35:53
just introduced the international ones?
00:35:55
So I just, I'd like to know, you know, will we do where Kitty
00:35:59
Pride and Dazzler come in first because that that's a good
00:36:02
jumping on point. There's a lot of good dumping on
00:36:05
points for the for the mutants themselves.
00:36:08
So it just really depends on what he's like.
00:36:10
What Shearer, right makes Shearer That's yes, right.
00:36:14
OK, anyway, what he wants to do, like where he wants to go with.
00:36:18
Oh yeah, I am pretty excited about it and I'll wait.
00:36:21
Yeah, gonna be a good time. I'm very excited for this.
00:36:24
Again, as someone who grew up with the X-Men and loves the
00:36:27
X-Men, this is very, very big deal for me.
00:36:31
And I can't wait to see them interacting with the rest of the
00:36:33
characters. Like, I can't wait to see the
00:36:35
X-Men interacting with Captain America or interacting with, you
00:36:40
know, Iron Man or, or Iron Heart to with all that, you know,
00:36:43
like, Oh my God, Storm and and Doctor Strange.
00:36:46
Doctor Strange, right. There's so many souls with, with
00:36:49
all of them together, you know, Yeah, it's, it's gonna be great.
00:36:52
Yeah. I'm really excited too.
00:36:54
It kind of feels like part of the universe has been missing up
00:36:58
until now, and so I feel like it's going to complete the
00:37:00
version that's going to be awesome, and I really hope they
00:37:03
come back from space. So that's what's happened.
00:37:05
They just went to space and they bring Lelandra back and it
00:37:09
starts this whole thing because we've been real cosmic lately.
00:37:12
So bringing the cosmic back to Earth, I think that might be a
00:37:15
good thing. It'll also be a reason to bring
00:37:17
Star Lord back into the cosmic thing.
00:37:20
What if? They just jumped into the GIR
00:37:23
just like right off the bat. That'd be fucking.
00:37:25
Yeah. And it'd be like, yeah, you guys
00:37:27
missed it. There were these weird bug
00:37:29
creatures called the Brood. I would be like.
00:37:33
But that's The thing is I wouldn't want them to just
00:37:34
reference the brood. I would want to see the brood on
00:37:36
screen. I don't.
00:37:37
Know if you could do that in one movie though, and it would have
00:37:40
to be a horror movie. It would definitely have to be
00:37:41
like an Alien style horror movie.
00:37:43
Although that would be really cool with Wolverine and a Alien
00:37:46
style horror movie. Holy crap, that would like sell
00:37:49
a billion. OK, I'm done.
00:37:50
All right, let's move into this next story here, because miles
00:37:53
needs more time to multiverse. I'm big Miles Morales fans, so
00:37:56
this is you know, I'm I'm both saddened but also excited and
00:38:00
I'll I'll I'll say why here in a minute.
00:38:01
Sony announced a delay for beyond the spider verse now set
00:38:05
to release in June 2027. It's a long wait for miles
00:38:08
Morales fans like myself, but also a chance to go even deeper
00:38:12
into glitchy multiverse storytelling translation.
00:38:15
It's not ready when it is, it'll probably melt your face with
00:38:17
excellence. I was talking too fast and I
00:38:19
couldn't say excellence correctly.
00:38:21
All right, well, this this is where I'm I'm excited for this
00:38:25
is the excitement is that, you know, at least now we're getting
00:38:29
updates right before we weren't getting updates on what was
00:38:32
going on. We didn't know what was
00:38:33
happening with spider verse. At least we know now you know,
00:38:36
it's, it's, it's two years out. And that's where I'm upset about
00:38:40
it is it's two years out, right? It's like I've got to wait 2.
00:38:43
Years you wanted to be a quality product.
00:38:45
And that's kind of where I'm, I'm willing to be patient, like
00:38:48
as I want to see the conclusion. I want to see what happens
00:38:52
between Miles and the alternate version of himself where he's
00:38:56
the Prowler, you know, I also want to see that relationship
00:38:59
between him and his uncle and kind of like, you know, yeah, he
00:39:02
got some family members back, you know what I mean?
00:39:04
Like there's, there's a couple of different things that are
00:39:07
going on and it's kind of like, yeah, OK, I'm more excited that
00:39:12
we're getting an update finally, but I am just a little upset
00:39:14
that it's going to take so long because I've been waiting so
00:39:17
long already. Yeah, I just, I feel like, I
00:39:19
don't know, maybe I'm not as invested in the whole Spidey
00:39:24
Mile, Spidey Peter B Parker thing.
00:39:27
It's very cute. I do adore the movies, but I'm
00:39:29
just not as invested as the as you, you know, as I could be, I
00:39:33
guess. But no, I'm OK with the wait as
00:39:36
long as it's going to be good. Good if it's in.
00:39:39
If we have to sacrifice time for the good of the animation and to
00:39:44
make it as good as the other two, I will wait and I will
00:39:48
happily do so because there is a shit ton that we have to watch
00:39:52
already so. And supposedly this is also
00:39:55
supposed to all tie into Spider Man 4 and.
00:40:00
And it's supposed to tie into like this is supposed to be how
00:40:02
they introduce Miles Morales into the live action universe as
00:40:06
well. Right.
00:40:06
So they also want to make that. And, you know, and there was
00:40:09
something a cut like I want to say a couple weeks ago, that
00:40:12
Biggie was saying that it's not time for Miles yet.
00:40:15
Yeah. That something else needs to
00:40:16
happen before Miles comes in, something like that.
00:40:19
And I was just like, you know what, dude?
00:40:20
Read the room. Everybody wants Miles.
00:40:22
Read the Room. But I think what it is is what
00:40:24
where he's saying is like, you know, it might be because
00:40:27
they're waiting on this last film to introduce Miles because
00:40:30
but he was also saying a while back as he would like to use
00:40:32
these movies as the the the the back story for Miles Morales.
00:40:37
And you use that multiverse to bring Miles Morales into, into
00:40:40
the to the universe. So I I think I'm.
00:40:42
No, he's not getting off the hook.
00:40:44
Nope, not off the hook with me. We'll see, because I know I
00:40:46
wouldn't. I wouldn't want another origin
00:40:48
story told for the character. I'm fine with just bringing
00:40:51
Miles Morales into the story. You you explain how he kind of
00:40:55
crosses into the multiverse and now Miles Morales is in this
00:40:58
universe and his entire backs. If you you want to know his back
00:41:01
story go back and see Go watch the spider verse movies.
00:41:03
I'm all for that. I'm not saying that.
00:41:05
I'm just saying that you know that he needs to concentrate on
00:41:09
not having a script in that being rewritten 3 months into a
00:41:14
movie production. That's all I'm saying.
00:41:16
That's all I'm saying. Right.
00:41:17
Well, it's. Taters like flirting with creepy
00:41:20
baby, right? Now, yeah, it's weird.
00:41:21
Let's let's let's go ahead and move on here.
00:41:24
And I'll make this one because one jungle planet isn't enough
00:41:27
for Cameron. Do the graphic.
00:41:29
Oh is it my bad, I didn't realize I didn't have it on the
00:41:31
screen. Boom.
00:41:32
James Cameron is developing an Avatar animated series that will
00:41:36
explore new cultures and ecosystems across Pandora.
00:41:40
Think spiritual whale, lying rock and lore so dense it'll
00:41:43
make Navi linguist sweat translation.
00:41:46
He found new glow in the dark creatures to emotionally
00:41:49
devastate us with. That's good.
00:41:53
I like that. Did I deliver it with gravitas?
00:41:56
Gravitas it needed. The amount of gravitas that
00:41:59
James Cameron would would deliver himself.
00:42:03
I almost went like, you know, David Attenborough with it, you
00:42:06
know? James Cameron has developed an
00:42:08
Avatar animated series, Right? That's my best David
00:42:12
Attenborough. It's not good, but hey, it's
00:42:13
there. It's better than mine.
00:42:16
So I, I'm not gonna watch this. I said it.
00:42:20
I'm not watching it. I, I, I watched the first
00:42:22
avatar. It was OK.
00:42:24
And it wasn't like, I was like, oh, good blue people.
00:42:26
And they're really tall and. It's this.
00:42:28
It's dances with. Human guys trying to get his
00:42:30
rocks off with them. Yeah, it's great.
00:42:32
It's Dances with Wolves with giant cat people.
00:42:35
Yeah. So I get the second one.
00:42:38
And has there been a third one yet?
00:42:39
This is the third one, the fire and ash things the third.
00:42:42
One fire and ash is the third one.
00:42:43
So that one's, that's the yeah coming out.
00:42:45
I we saw the trailer, I don't care.
00:42:47
I mean, it looks interesting. I never saw the second one so I
00:42:51
don't know where the story's at. I think part of it's because
00:42:54
it's a 3 hour movie and I just haven't gotten around to
00:42:57
watching it. Not that I'm not interested in
00:42:58
watching it. I did enjoy the first one, yeah,
00:43:01
but I just haven't watched the the second one yet.
00:43:03
And the third one, again, it looks interesting, but it's kind
00:43:06
of like I'm not gonna go watch the third one if I haven't
00:43:08
watched the second one yet, so. Yeah, I just, I don't, I just
00:43:11
like, I'm not an Avatar fan. I'm not this Avatar fan.
00:43:14
Give me Avatar the Last Airbender.
00:43:17
I'm right there. I'll whatever you want.
00:43:19
Actually, news for that came. Out.
00:43:20
It's gotta be due. I know.
00:43:22
I just thought Stephen Yoon. Anyway, we'll talk next.
00:43:24
Yeah, we'll talk next week. But I just.
00:43:27
I can't seem to. I cannot seem here.
00:43:29
James is in the chat make. Me care, Phil, Make me care.
00:43:33
James is in the chat right now, by the way, ladies and
00:43:36
gentlemen, James has got a family thing going on right now,
00:43:39
so that's why he's not here. But he's saying he did like the
00:43:42
second one more than the first one.
00:43:44
The second one raises the stakes.
00:43:45
OK, I just I you know, I don't know.
00:43:47
It's just I don't like it. Well, it's not my thing.
00:43:50
Let's move on to the next story here.
00:43:52
And I feel like that I can, I can do that.
00:43:54
I can have it not be my thing. This is me again.
00:43:57
OK, better get those tapas to go in Daryl Dixon season 3, the
00:44:03
apocalypse road trip Take the turn Ford Spain, reuniting Carol
00:44:08
and Daryl for more crossbow therapy, this time with Laminco
00:44:12
backdrops and Moody ruin translation.
00:44:15
Same trauma, new time zone. Flaminco walkers anyone?
00:44:19
Oh God, that would just be weird.
00:44:21
In the world of Walking Dead, you just have like walkers that
00:44:23
are dancing flamenco. Yeah, like they're like brains.
00:44:31
You see Darrell look over at Carol and just crossbow them all
00:44:33
in the head. Right, Carols, eat a cookie, all
00:44:36
right. I mean interesting I stopped
00:44:39
walking watching The Walking Dead after like man the the
00:44:44
season where where they killed Steven Ewen was like the last
00:44:48
one that I watched. Hot cake or actually speaker
00:44:50
sign? I've never watched The Walking
00:44:52
Dead. I read the first eight issues of
00:44:55
the comic book series and it wasn't for me, so I felt like a
00:44:59
TV show about it also wasn't for me.
00:45:01
So yeah, I haven't watched it. The first couple seasons were
00:45:04
good when it was about a group of people trying to survive the
00:45:08
apocalypse and dealing with with zombies, you know, and just kind
00:45:11
of the relationships between the people and everything when they
00:45:14
find survivors. But then when it started
00:45:16
becoming, oh, we're finding whole cities and now there's
00:45:19
like people trying to kill each other and all this other stuff.
00:45:21
Like when it became was like, this is where I'm done with
00:45:25
this. I kind of, I'm not interested in
00:45:26
this anymore because it went from like, OK, here's a small
00:45:29
group of survivors that are trying to survive to now the
00:45:32
entire world is repopulated and it's just a bunch of people
00:45:36
trying to kill each other and and.
00:45:37
Yeah, it becomes like dystopian Mad Maxi.
00:45:40
Yeah. And it was just kind of like,
00:45:41
I'm, I'm not interested in this anymore.
00:45:43
And then they started doing like, you know, they they did
00:45:46
the one that takes place in LA, it was supposed to be the origin
00:45:49
story and they never did the origin story.
00:45:51
And just, I'm then they did like 30 other series, this show with
00:45:56
Daryl Dixon, as as interesting as the idea is, you know, they
00:46:01
took a character that they made for the show that wasn't in the
00:46:03
comics and gave him his own show.
00:46:06
And he is a fan favorite. Daryl Dixon's fun.
00:46:08
But yeah, yeah. I mean, I'm just, I, I, I, I
00:46:11
lost interest in the show when they got into like, season #30.
00:46:14
Three. Well, maybe Spain will get you
00:46:16
back into it. Probably not.
00:46:18
Well, like a bullfighter. How about this?
00:46:20
It's like a bullfighter zombie thing and they have to like run
00:46:22
the bulls or something. Isn't that like a Spain?
00:46:24
Thing. That's a Spaniard thing, yeah.
00:46:26
Yeah, so like they could do that running of the bull zombie
00:46:29
style. Right, you just have zombie
00:46:31
bulls coming after you. Like that dead polar bear Game
00:46:35
of Thrones. Yeah.
00:46:36
Oh, that was all. There.
00:46:37
So this is bullshit and you're just running from bulls.
00:46:40
Like it's not working. Oh, man, throwing cookies at
00:46:46
them and they're not, you know, whatever.
00:46:48
Yeah. Let's move on to this next
00:46:50
story. It's actually something that I
00:46:52
am excited for. Kratosco's softcore storytelling
00:46:56
instead of hardcore. That's right, the showrunner
00:46:58
admits there's no there no gaming expert but promises to
00:47:02
honor Kratos emotional journey. Expect father son angst with a
00:47:06
healthy dose of monster dismemberment.
00:47:09
Translation. Less button mashing, more dad
00:47:11
crying while slaying monsters. I.
00:47:13
I would watch this. I'm excited for this, but the
00:47:17
only thing is, is, so I, I know they announced because
00:47:20
originally it was supposed to follow the original games, but
00:47:23
they announced like last week that they reworked it and now
00:47:26
it's just going to be following the Ragnarok games.
00:47:29
And yeah, it's like, OK, that's cool.
00:47:32
But I, I also kind of like acknowledge, can you guys
00:47:35
acknowledge the Greek mythos and kind of where he came from and
00:47:39
how he became a God? Because I like the idea of,
00:47:42
like, what they did. It is like, you know, the the
00:47:44
gods are moving across like, different parts of the world.
00:47:47
So like, you know, he starts off as a Greek God and then he
00:47:49
becomes a Norse God. And I'm sure they're gonna do
00:47:52
have him become something else in the next set of games.
00:47:54
But it's like you're gonna go Irish.
00:47:57
You're gonna go whoa. I mean, like, you're gonna go
00:47:59
right into the Norse stuff. But like, if they don't
00:48:02
acknowledge the Greek stuff because he, he basically is a
00:48:06
demigod that becomes a God because he kills Aries.
00:48:10
Oh yeah. You know, well, I mean, maybe
00:48:12
they won't acknowledge at the beginning.
00:48:14
Like they'll start off with this and then they'll tell history.
00:48:17
Yeah, I mean, I, I want the Greek story of this because
00:48:20
that's what got me into God of War, you know, and it's like,
00:48:23
OK, cool, you guys are going into the Norse and, you know,
00:48:26
you're capitalizing on that. Everybody likes the Norse
00:48:29
mythology, but like, you know, you can do the Greek version of
00:48:32
this. And, you know, there's, there's
00:48:33
a tragedy behind what happens with with with with like
00:48:37
everything with him. You know, I mean like if you
00:48:39
look at what happens to Kratos in the original games, right?
00:48:42
Kratos spoiler for anybody who hasn't played a game from like
00:48:45
20 years ago. But I mean like.
00:48:47
I haven't played any of them, by the way.
00:48:49
I do want to play them, but you can spoil the heck out of it.
00:48:51
I don't. Yeah, I mean, my, my issue with
00:48:54
going right into the into the N stuff is the story of how Kratos
00:48:58
becomes a God is it starts with he is a he's a Spartan warrior.
00:49:06
You know, he, he essentially, you know, his it's it's almost
00:49:09
like Hercules, right? Like the actual Hercules story,
00:49:11
not the Disney Hercules story, but like essentially Aries kills
00:49:15
his entire family, his wife and his children and the ashes of
00:49:18
his children become his skin. So that's why he has the white
00:49:21
skin, right. And the whole thing is him like
00:49:24
he gives his soul to Aries in in exchange to protect his family,
00:49:28
but Aries kills his family. And so the whole.
00:49:31
That's, I mean he got his soul back.
00:49:33
Well, the whole arc of the three games.
00:49:35
What up Squint? The arc of the three games is
00:49:38
you know, he goes after Aries, kills Aries in the first game
00:49:42
because he wants revenge, and finds out that, you know, Aries
00:49:46
wasn't the one that was behind everything, goes after hates,
00:49:50
and then in the end finds out that Zeus is the one that
00:49:54
orchestrated everything. Wow right.
00:49:56
So he kills Zeus in the end of the game and he becomes a God
00:50:00
because of. It oh because he killed the king
00:50:02
of the gods. Right.
00:50:03
So he becomes God and the the games that they're basing this
00:50:07
off are the sequel to that series where he essentially
00:50:11
becomes the Norse God of God of War.
00:50:13
And I understand where they're going with this because they
00:50:15
want to tell that story between him and his son, right?
00:50:18
But at the same time it's like, OK, cool, tell that emotional
00:50:20
story. But at the same time, I it's the
00:50:23
season or season or two about, you know, the Greek origins and
00:50:28
how he became a God in the 1st place.
00:50:30
Yeah, well, I like, I don't know any like I know.
00:50:32
What you told me and then like, I'd like just vague stuff about
00:50:35
this, but yeah, I kind of want to start at the beginning.
00:50:38
Right? Right.
00:50:39
So yeah, we can. We want to move on here.
00:50:41
Yeah. Yeah, I think you said what
00:50:43
needed to be said on. That I really do 5 lions 1 hype
00:50:47
engine Voltron get loud woo Oh wait wait wait wait wait wait.
00:50:57
Yes, yes, it needed that. The actor.
00:50:59
Calls Amazon Amazon MGM's upcoming Voltron flick wildly
00:51:04
entertaining and suggest a sequel may follow nostalgia Mex
00:51:09
assemble and it's Morphin time with upgraded drama.
00:51:12
So it's Sterling K Brown was the actor.
00:51:15
I don't know why I didn't put his name in that weird
00:51:19
translation. Childhood chaos is getting a
00:51:21
glow up and we might need more lion lip.
00:51:24
I mean, like, how many limbs does the lion have?
00:51:26
Like though really 4 is all your kind of yeah.
00:51:29
Anyway, what do you think? I'm I'm, I'm excited in general.
00:51:33
For this, I, I, I felt for a long time that we needed a
00:51:37
Voltron movie. I love that he is kind of
00:51:41
already on top of it and saying like, oh, we're going to have a
00:51:43
sequel. It's going to be happening.
00:51:45
You know, I Voltron is something I grew up with between that and,
00:51:49
and, and Thundercats, Robotech. Robotech was another one that I
00:51:53
loved. But I mean, Voltron and and
00:51:55
Thundercats were like the two shows that I just like, you
00:51:59
know, I watched that. And then on top of that, GI Joe
00:52:02
and Transformers and all that. And I mean, we've already gotten
00:52:04
versions of those. It's time to have Voltron.
00:52:06
And Sterling K Brown is an amazing actor.
00:52:08
I would. I can't wait to see what he does
00:52:10
with it. Yeah, he seems really excited.
00:52:13
About it too, saying it's wildly entertaining.
00:52:16
I think that's like such a compliment for Sterling K Brown
00:52:19
because he's so serious about his though.
00:52:21
Yeah, I think it's gonna be fun. Yeah.
00:52:22
I claim the blue leg. I don't know.
00:52:26
I have no idea what is what in Voltron.
00:52:29
I didn't get into Voltron. Last stuff on here.
00:52:31
I didn't get into weird it's it's 5 mini bots turn.
00:52:35
Into one super bot they're the whole transformer thing let's.
00:52:39
Just start talking about Transformers and cars now.
00:52:41
I mean, we're going there anyway.
00:52:43
Voltron is one step away from from being cars.
00:52:46
Like why would they be? Like lying robots.
00:52:49
And then they turn it into a giant mech because Japan.
00:52:51
OK, yeah. And you know what?
00:52:54
That. Makes more sense to me.
00:52:56
And Transformers being carved. Just staying.
00:52:59
That's just my opinion. What we need is five Lion bot
00:53:02
rings. Yeah, we do.
00:53:03
We we all need our different rings in order to control our
00:53:07
lion bots. Yes, that reminds me of the
00:53:08
Venture Brothers version. Oh God.
00:53:10
I remember that episode. I I.
00:53:12
There's a Rick and Morty episode of it too.
00:53:14
Yes, where the Rick and Morty episode was so good.
00:53:18
They're just so all making fun of it.
00:53:20
Like, like Rick just wants to collect all of them.
00:53:22
So it's like I've been trying to collect these my entire life.
00:53:26
Cherry. Oh my.
00:53:27
God, Cherry is so good. All right, let's move on.
00:53:32
To this this last story before we get into the main part of the
00:53:35
download here, Spawn might finally spawn a new movie
00:53:39
because we've been waiting for this for like what, 10 years
00:53:41
now? Todd McFarlane confirms a
00:53:44
director reveal is imminent for a long delayed Spawn movie,
00:53:47
nudging the shadows closer to a full resurrection translation.
00:53:51
Shadows of Twitching, actually. Production made be imminent, So.
00:53:55
So I know. I'll believe it when I see it,
00:53:58
so I know. He got.
00:54:00
With Blumhouse a while back for this, right?
00:54:03
He's already said. Todd McFarlane has already said
00:54:05
the way that they're writing it is akin to the way that it is in
00:54:10
the comics. It's going to be more based on
00:54:12
Sam and Twitch and, you know, their run INS with spawn and
00:54:17
it's gonna be more of like a horror thing.
00:54:19
So I, I kinda, you know, I want that, you know, that that's kind
00:54:22
of what I what I like. I like the idea of you have
00:54:25
these two detectives that kind of run into these supernatural
00:54:28
things and, you know, kind of freak out about things just
00:54:32
because it's like, how are we dealing?
00:54:33
How is this coming up and how are we dealing with this?
00:54:35
You know, so it's going to be exciting to see all that stuff.
00:54:38
Yeah, I, you know, I really like the live action movie.
00:54:40
I don't think I saw the other animated one.
00:54:42
There was another animated one, right?
00:54:45
So there's there is a animated. Spawn it was from the 90s was in
00:54:51
it hold on. And there was an animated TV
00:54:53
show. Yeah, no, the the the animated
00:54:56
TV show. Was on HBO, yeah.
00:55:00
HBO, Yeah. And Keith David.
00:55:02
Played spawn in that and. It is absolutely terrifying if
00:55:05
you go and watch it like you know, the the the whole thing,
00:55:08
the way that that Keith David plays really dark.
00:55:11
It is, and you know Keith. Keith David killed.
00:55:14
It right. I mean, it's it's that that
00:55:16
signature voice that he has, right?
00:55:18
Playing Spawn. Yeah.
00:55:19
You know, I did like Michael J White's version of the
00:55:22
character. Yeah, go tater saying John
00:55:27
Leguizamo and Martin Sheen weren't spawn.
00:55:28
I do. I do like that movie.
00:55:31
Don't get me wrong. Again, I like Michael Jai white
00:55:34
as spawn. I thought that was spot on.
00:55:36
John Leguizamo killed it as clown or the violator for for
00:55:39
those of you who are really into the lore, the story was a little
00:55:44
bit out there, but I mean it was it was it was good.
00:55:46
You know, I I did enjoy that movie, but the animated version
00:55:49
definitely shows a more visceral and kind of like the more a more
00:55:56
violent version of Spawn, which is what we should have gotten in
00:55:59
the movie. Yeah.
00:56:00
Yeah, it was the 90s. And some of the stuff that we
00:56:03
can get away with now, we couldn't get away with back
00:56:05
then. And so, yeah, give it to Snyder.
00:56:08
Just give it Snyder. I think Snyder would.
00:56:10
Do a fantastic job spawn and as of right.
00:56:14
Now, Jamie Foxx is has has been the one that was tapped to play
00:56:21
Al Simmons to play Spawn in in this movie.
00:56:23
Yeah, and just have Snyder direct.
00:56:25
There you go. Boom boom.
00:56:26
Bam, boom, I did it. Pay me money or pay me no mind?
00:56:28
No, pay me money. Yeah, I said pay me my money.
00:56:30
I saw my mind. No.
00:56:31
What? You've never heard that saying
00:56:33
No. Yeah, pay me my money.
00:56:35
Or pay no mind, Pay me my money or pay me no.
00:56:37
Mind means give me my money or bother or don't bother me.
00:56:42
OK, well that makes. Sense I was like, what is the no
00:56:45
mind thing? Yeah or pay me no mind.
00:56:47
So it's like, you know, give me my.
00:56:48
Money or leave me alone. OK, so either pay me or shut up.
00:56:51
Right, OK, all right, cool. All right.
00:56:53
So I am checking in with our guest.
00:56:55
Right now, he said, he's ready. I'm.
00:56:59
Just double checking and sending the link.
00:57:00
Again. Oh, he's already here.
00:57:01
There we go. Well, ladies and gentlemen,
00:57:03
before we jump into the next story here because we are going
00:57:06
to be jumping into all the SDCC goodness here to join us to talk
00:57:13
about San Diego Comic Con. Ladies and gentlemen from the
00:57:15
Geek Freaks network himself is and gentlemen, please welcome to
00:57:19
the show Thomas from Geek Freaks.
00:57:24
What's going on everybody? Thanks for having me man.
00:57:26
I appreciate it. As you could tell a little under
00:57:29
the weather weather. I went pretty hard over at Comic
00:57:32
Con, so I'm I'm feeling a little rough.
00:57:34
So bear with me everybody. I hear you, man.
00:57:36
I'm still recovering my Sonic on.
00:57:38
Fred yeah, I feel so bad for you both.
00:57:42
It'll take about a week and you guys will be you'll be fantastic
00:57:45
again. Yeah, man.
00:57:46
Yeah, I want to be fantastic. There you go.
00:57:48
I want to be a Fantastic Four. Oh yeah, I was so sluggish
00:57:52
today. Like I just didn't not want to
00:57:54
wake up and then like went to work and was just like, why am I
00:57:56
doing this right now? Yeah.
00:58:00
Yeah, it is. It's always a great event.
00:58:02
I will say it's gotten crazier since I've started going to it
00:58:06
on preview night, which is supposed to be the night where
00:58:09
you have a exclusive ticket to go there, right.
00:58:11
But then, you know, normally you get the four day pass.
00:58:13
Preview night was shoulder to shoulder.
00:58:15
Like it was so packed this whole week.
00:58:17
It was crazy. And then, you know, the lack of
00:58:20
sleep, the too much drinking and the not enough food on my end is
00:58:25
the is the issue here. But it was a great time for
00:58:28
sure. Yeah.
00:58:28
Yeah. And it's hard because, like, you
00:58:31
want to go. And see everything and
00:58:33
everything is just stacked back-to-back to back-to-back and
00:58:36
you have to make these hard choices.
00:58:38
It's like trying to choose your favorite child or dog because
00:58:42
you're like, well, I want to go and see this, but oh crap,
00:58:45
they're doing a signing and oh, but my favorite comic book
00:58:48
artist is right here. And you know, so you have it's
00:58:51
like you want to clone yourself. I mean, being multiple man would
00:58:55
be such a cool thing to do. Or or what's her name from
00:58:59
Legion superheroes? The one that multiple lasts?
00:59:03
What did she call herself? I can't remember family sure you
00:59:06
had me a multiple man though and.
00:59:07
I do agree with you, and you are so right.
00:59:10
That's something I always tell everybody, and I've only been
00:59:13
fortunate to go three times. I love it.
00:59:16
But with San Diego Comic Con in particular, you cannot go to
00:59:20
everything like you'll have your schedule.
00:59:22
And there was a moment where I was like, OK, well, Jim Lee's
00:59:25
going on right now. And then Robert Kirkman's over
00:59:28
here. And I'm like, which one am I
00:59:29
going to go to? And you have to decide the half
00:59:31
an hour before which one you're going to.
00:59:33
And then you are stuck there because if you try to jump back
00:59:36
and forth to rubes, it is not happening.
00:59:37
Yeah. And then this year especially,
00:59:40
there was so many cool activations.
00:59:43
Like, it's not just the convention.
00:59:44
It's everything that falls out into the city.
00:59:47
It was it was crazy. So I missed so many panels.
00:59:51
I wanted to go see. I missed so many activations.
00:59:53
I want to see so many. Just there's just not enough
00:59:56
time even over the four or five days.
00:59:58
Yeah, Yeah. And I still feel like there was
01:00:02
too much, like it's just crazy. Yeah.
01:00:04
That's that's exactly what it's like when we go to.
01:00:06
LACC it's there's so much going on and so many panels and you
01:00:11
know, for the most part, there's usually always someone we know
01:00:14
that's doing a panel. So we're just like, Oh well, we
01:00:16
want to go and friends at the same time, like, you know, you
01:00:20
know, this is going on over here.
01:00:22
Like this year they announced that all all of the one division
01:00:26
cast is going to be there. So like all the the people from
01:00:30
from Wanda Vision, so usually at La Comic Con, when they have
01:00:33
those kind of things, there's usually an announcement.
01:00:35
Yeah. So I'm just, yeah, yeah.
01:00:37
What are they going to announce? Man, you're right.
01:00:39
You're right. I you know what I will say.
01:00:41
Though, like I'm spoiled because it's, I live here in San Diego,
01:00:44
so it's like I just get to take the train down or it's like a
01:00:47
short drive to the Convention Center.
01:00:49
But the one thing I like about LA Comic Con compared to San
01:00:52
Diego is that when you walk in right, they have that mainstage
01:00:55
just right in the center and it's so cool.
01:00:57
Like that's so great. There's no Hall H either, right?
01:01:00
So that's the other thing, like forget the regular panels you
01:01:03
want to see. If you want to try to get new
01:01:04
Hall H, that's all you're doing that day.
01:01:06
Like yeah, you have to stand in line and you might see like 3.
01:01:09
Panels you don't really care about, just to see the one panel
01:01:12
you do care about. I actually used to work it, so I
01:01:16
lived in San Diego for years. So yeah, I worked I the first
01:01:20
comic book convention I ever went to was San Diego Comic Con.
01:01:23
Dang that's like the first game you go to is the.
01:01:26
Super Bowl, like just yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:01:29
So I went to that and then I went to like a wizard.
01:01:31
World and then I went to like one of my local ones and I was
01:01:34
like, look, they're local. They don't have the resources
01:01:37
that San Diego, like I had to like, talk myself down from
01:01:40
being like, this is like a really, like, rickety, you know,
01:01:43
I was just like, Nope. They're doing their best.
01:01:47
Yeah, definitely. Definitely.
01:01:48
I, I think you guys named a bunch of really good conventions
01:01:52
and I, I love LA Comic Con. I think for a long time it was
01:01:56
my, that was the first convention I ever really went
01:01:58
to. And right off the bat, umm,
01:02:00
yeah. With Geek Freaks now, you know,
01:02:02
we're all part of the same family and whatnot, but I at
01:02:05
this time I was just kind of friends with Frank, who's kind
01:02:08
of our network head. And I was like, hey, do you have
01:02:10
anybody going to LA Comic Con? He's like, I don't.
01:02:12
I was like, OK, well, I'll go if you want me to cover it.
01:02:15
And from the jump, I got interviews with Donnie Cates,
01:02:19
with Larry Houston, with the cast of Sandlot, talked to Amy
01:02:26
JoJo. We were at the same show.
01:02:27
We were at the same show because.
01:02:29
We got an interview with, we got an interview with the cast of
01:02:33
The Sandlot because we, Oh yeah, they set us up in the in the
01:02:38
press box. So we actually had all of our
01:02:40
equipment in there so we could actually get high quality
01:02:42
interviews. We have the head cast of The
01:02:44
Sandlot. We had Rob Paulson came up and
01:02:48
we had an interview with him. You know, we we try to talk to
01:02:52
different like comic creators and stuff like that.
01:02:54
Last year we talked to Jamie G Rack.
01:02:56
She came and hang hung out with us for a little.
01:02:58
Yeah. You know, I love Jamie.
01:03:00
Yeah, she's so. Cool, man.
01:03:01
Yeah, she's the best, Yeah. You know, we had a nice
01:03:04
conversation with Brandon Davis for like an hour.
01:03:06
You know, I mean, she's just. Yeah, boy, right there.
01:03:09
Yeah. BD is the.
01:03:10
Man, I love that guy, man. Yeah, 'cause you could do, yeah.
01:03:13
Hearing stories I. Told George Perez I was
01:03:16
pregnant. He's the first person.
01:03:20
I told. Also, Stan Lee.
01:03:24
That something very nice to me at San Diego Comic Con 1,
01:03:27
because Julia Schwart was being a total Dick and told me to get
01:03:32
the fuck out of his way. And so Stan Lee was like, it's
01:03:34
OK, sweetie. He he's just grumpy.
01:03:36
And I was like, oh, OK, well, I can't.
01:03:40
Have tons of San Diego stories. Let me.
01:03:42
Tell you that's amazing. Yeah, well, I mean I.
01:03:45
Don't think you could beat that story.
01:03:46
But it was just such a surprise for me because it was my first
01:03:50
convention. You know, it was like literally
01:03:52
the first one, and I didn't know what to expect.
01:03:54
I'd always wanted to go to San Diego Comic Con, could never go
01:03:57
in. Like, you know, I could never
01:03:58
get tickets or I didn't live in town or had something going.
01:04:01
So it was just such a surprise, you know, go to my first
01:04:04
convention and then be able to talk to all these people like
01:04:06
you're either reading their stories or watching their movies
01:04:08
and shows. It.
01:04:09
It blew me away. And I was like, all right, I
01:04:11
like this stuff. Like, how do I do more of this?
01:04:13
And here we are, You know, though it's been great.
01:04:16
Yeah. James in the chat saying that's
01:04:18
what spurred. Us to reach out to you, Thomas.
01:04:20
A pic with with you Brandon Davis and Joe Decklemeyer and I
01:04:23
I Joe Decklemeyer is another guy I love the deaf man.
01:04:25
He was Joe the man. Yeah, he's such, Yeah, he's such
01:04:28
a good dude too. Yeah, You know, like I said, I I
01:04:31
was just, I mean, here's this nobody just showing up to this
01:04:34
convention, you know, or how I feel anytime we go to a con man.
01:04:39
But you know. Luckily, I got into some of
01:04:42
these places, like you were saying, and they were around
01:04:44
and, you know, kind of said, hey, what are you here for?
01:04:46
Oh, you know, I'm here to do some interviews.
01:04:48
And we kind of hit it off from there.
01:04:49
So that's the beauty of doing these kind of conventions.
01:04:52
And it's like, you know, it's nice to talk to your friends and
01:04:55
obviously we get into some great discussions here on these
01:04:57
podcasts, but just be out there with fans.
01:05:00
To be out there with the people who are doing it at the highest
01:05:02
level and talking to the people making the stuff that we love is
01:05:06
just incredible. So yeah, great dudes all around
01:05:08
for sure. James in the chat asking how.
01:05:11
Was your panel, which I do actually want to know man, how
01:05:14
did your panel go oh man, have a little preview because I.
01:05:18
Listened to the podcast, your podcast with Frank earlier
01:05:22
today. So I kind of know what happened,
01:05:24
but yeah, yeah, tell. Them because.
01:05:26
It's amazing. I love the story.
01:05:28
Oh, thank you. Yeah, I.
01:05:31
It went well. All right.
01:05:33
I don't want to like sound like I'm too big headed here or
01:05:36
whatnot, but one, I gotta give it out to crochet props.
01:05:39
Karosh He he set up the panel. He does an amazing podcast
01:05:43
called Save Point stories. He is also a contributor over at
01:05:47
Temple of Geek and just a stellar guy.
01:05:50
I I've met him over the years doing panels and going to winter
01:05:53
con and all that kind of stuff. And he's like, hey, you know, I
01:05:56
know you don't normally talk about video games, but, you
01:05:59
know, I think you might be OK for this panel.
01:06:02
I was like, yeah, sure. And then I saw my Co.
01:06:03
So I was like, whoa, I'm out of my league here.
01:06:06
There. There's like, you know, some
01:06:07
heavy hitters on this panel. Are you sure?
01:06:10
But we got in there and it was just, it was so fun.
01:06:14
The crowd was into it. I dropped a few stories on a
01:06:17
game that everybody on the Internet hated for a long time
01:06:20
until Suicide Squad killed the Justice League came out.
01:06:22
Then everybody started backtracking.
01:06:24
We're like, actually that game wasn't that bad, which was
01:06:26
Marvel's Avengers. And I had a lot of good Marvel's
01:06:29
Avengers story on the paddle. I enjoyed the main storyline on
01:06:32
that. It was just.
01:06:33
The post game wasn't the greatest right, But I mean like
01:06:35
everybody says yeah man, but but.
01:06:38
If that game had the support it needed to, it would have stomped
01:06:42
on Gotham nights, it would have stopped on Suicide Squad, Kill
01:06:45
the Justice. Like I played all of those game
01:06:47
stories, but there was an element of it that was just so
01:06:50
fun. And for me, like at this point,
01:06:53
I had just gotten out of the hospital.
01:06:54
For those of people who don't know, like I was in a plane
01:06:57
crash. I even had to say this on stage,
01:06:59
which with all these prying eyes, I was like, man, is this
01:07:02
too heavy right now to say to people?
01:07:03
But that is the story. And so it was one of those games
01:07:07
where I was like, I played the beta.
01:07:08
I signed up for the beta. I was like in a CASP, I had one
01:07:11
hand with my like 3 fingers on one side.
01:07:13
I'm like I'm going to master this game.
01:07:15
I don't care who says anything like I'm going to master this
01:07:18
game. And because of that, I got into
01:07:21
all these different groups and game chats and discords and I
01:07:24
was, I was definitely in there and made some good friends.
01:07:28
And and the one of my friends ended up being this guy had no
01:07:32
idea he was famous, but he goes by name CT, He's a professional
01:07:37
comedian. He tours the country and stuff.
01:07:39
And just, I went to his panel, actually, he just did when he
01:07:42
was on this Kevin Hart show called Little Kev.
01:07:44
And yeah, we became really good friends after that.
01:07:47
And both movie fans, both I would say comic book nerds in
01:07:51
the fact of like movies and stuff.
01:07:53
And yeah, and just even getting to hang out with him at this
01:07:55
convention and whatnot. So the panel was it was very
01:07:59
revealing. I think as much as I wanted to
01:08:01
keep it fun and entertaining, who doesn't want to go to San
01:08:04
Diego Comic? Con and also therapy at the same
01:08:07
time. You're right, I.
01:08:10
Mean isn't that every little. Nerd stream little geek stream
01:08:14
kind of is I don't chop stop I. Was going to say Marvel's
01:08:18
Avengers for for all the hate that it got, I actually what I
01:08:21
liked about it was that they focused on Kamala Khan where
01:08:24
like, you know, the other people haven't finished it, but I love
01:08:27
playing. It, I couldn't do the jump thing
01:08:30
with Captain America in space, but I have a husband for that.
01:08:34
He did very well on that. And yeah, but I, I mean, I still
01:08:37
haven't finished it. I refuse just to finish it.
01:08:40
I don't want it to be over. Yeah, I love that they focused
01:08:43
on that She's a. Fan girl that became an Avenger,
01:08:45
you know, and it was just kind of like that's the character
01:08:48
that we all see ourselves in. It's it's it's, you know,
01:08:51
everybody is a fan and it's like, man, if only it would be
01:08:55
cool to be like to be an Avenger and she gets to live that yeah,
01:08:59
yeah, I'm a fan of the comics. Like I.
01:09:01
Really like it, but I think I mean Amman Vilani is a
01:09:04
superstar, but the my God The Avengers video game might be my
01:09:06
second favorite rendition of Kamala because she like
01:09:10
eventually once you level everybody up and I had like all
01:09:14
the best gear, I was level. I think it was like 150 or
01:09:17
something. You could get to something like
01:09:18
ridiculous, but once you can get to her and you're stomping
01:09:22
around with all the best gear with all the perks on it, it's
01:09:25
out of control. Like, yeah, it was so fun.
01:09:27
Plus grabbing people when you're big.
01:09:29
It was like a really cool game. It needed, to your point, more
01:09:32
end game content. But I mean, I don't know, I
01:09:35
think I won over some fans on that game.
01:09:36
Yeah, like I said, that that was my, that was my issue.
01:09:39
Was the end game content was just kind of it became
01:09:41
repetitive and it was just kind of like, you know, in the end
01:09:44
game because like the missions were fine, like you know,
01:09:46
everything was good. It's just like once you get to
01:09:48
the end game, it's like all the missions are repetitive and it's
01:09:51
like the same thing over and over again.
01:09:53
And it's like that's where it lost me Was it was was
01:09:56
everything post game was like, man, you know, they they could
01:09:59
have done so much more with this and they could have added so
01:10:01
many more characters, you know? Exactly.
01:10:04
Yeah, yeah, there was plan. I mean that that's.
01:10:06
The thing like you're so right, but I mean, COVID got it.
01:10:09
Not like I'm defending Square Enix because they don't need,
01:10:11
you know, yeah. Oh, and the other thing, I need
01:10:13
to bring this back up from the. Battle.
01:10:15
The other thing was the. Sony Spider Man exclusive.
01:10:18
Kind of upset me because I'm an Xbox player.
01:10:20
So it was just kind of like, OK, so I can't play Spider Man
01:10:22
because Sony is got that exclusive on the on the
01:10:25
PlayStation. And then I heard that, you know,
01:10:27
he was kind of lackluster and it was just like, oh, come on, man.
01:10:30
Like that. That is like those kind of
01:10:32
things where it's like, OK, well we're going to make him
01:10:34
exclusive, but he's also not going to be a fun player to
01:10:36
character to play with. Yeah.
01:10:38
I mean, he wasn't as good if people were expecting.
01:10:40
Him to be as good as a solo spider Man plays with your game
01:10:44
like you're out of your mind like there was.
01:10:45
The goal was to continuously add on new characters and new
01:10:48
villains. Yeah, I can really can't believe
01:10:50
talking about Marvel's adventures, but here we are.
01:10:52
Yeah, but. And I mean, we, we do got to get
01:10:55
to the stories here. But I mean like I, I.
01:10:56
I do I'm I'm just kind of like relating here.
01:10:59
Like I'm not, I'm not someone who was like, you know, one of
01:11:01
the haters out there. It was just kind of like it was
01:11:03
more it was a great you're fanboying.
01:11:05
It's OK, I am. It was.
01:11:07
A great game and then I. Was disappointed with the end
01:11:10
game content is all. It was Very fair.
01:11:11
Very fair, and especially because I'm a Destiny player.
01:11:13
So I mean end game. Content is king for me.
01:11:15
Yeah. OK, OK.
01:11:17
I get it. Yeah.
01:11:17
Like I like. Games like that too.
01:11:19
I mean, it had all the elements was grindy, but there was other
01:11:21
games that we brought up to up there.
01:11:24
You know, I I shared a story about, you know, the the first
01:11:27
question of the panel was what video game in your life
01:11:30
describes you? So people had some great
01:11:31
answers. I really fun one someone some I
01:11:34
didn't even know one person's was like Animal Crossing, but
01:11:37
for me it was Super Smash Brothers Melee.
01:11:40
So yeah, I used to play with my friends nonstop.
01:11:44
It's it's a mixture between all the famous Nintendo character
01:11:47
you like. It's silly, it's whimsical, it's
01:11:49
goofy in some ways, but also deadly serious when you got to
01:11:53
competitive and the and the joke I made on stage was, you know, I
01:11:57
don't, I don't want to brag, but I was 1100 and like 43 in the
01:12:01
country or something like that. So I was nowhere near the top,
01:12:05
but I did playing some competitions.
01:12:07
I got absolutely wiped every time.
01:12:09
But that game, me and my friends, we would back then it
01:12:12
was called, we would call it STD Smash till dawn.
01:12:15
So you would just like play all night.
01:12:17
You would just and we would go head to head.
01:12:19
It'd be so serious. But I love that game.
01:12:21
I put so many hours into it. And yeah, and then we got to the
01:12:25
therapy of it also well-rounded panel and I got to give it out
01:12:28
to crush for setting that one up.
01:12:30
Yeah, Super Smash man, the game. That how to piss your friends
01:12:34
off with an up smash. Yeah, yeah, definitely.
01:12:38
Or if you were. Oh yeah, sorry, go.
01:12:40
Oh, I was just gonna say Phil what?
01:12:42
What game would? Describe you?
01:12:43
Oh God, I would have to. Think about that and get short
01:12:47
answer no, I would have to think about that.
01:12:49
And get and get back to you. Because I am a variety gamer, I
01:12:53
play so many different games and it's hard to call out what game
01:12:58
would describe me as a person. I I can tell you what my go to
01:13:02
games are like. I've never, I've, I've never not
01:13:04
played in Assassin's Creed. There's something about the
01:13:06
exploration, There's something about the the fighting
01:13:10
mechanics. I love that the newer games are
01:13:12
getting back into the stealth, you know, like those kind of
01:13:14
games are the kind of games I like to play again.
01:13:18
So you're not going to answer it.
01:13:20
I I was going to get to new games.
01:13:21
Destiny 2 is. A game that you know, the the
01:13:25
grind, but the camaraderie in the game has always been
01:13:28
something that like I played that game more to play with my
01:13:30
friends than it was anything else.
01:13:31
And then my go to mindless, not thinking about anything.
01:13:35
Game is Call of Duty. So I mean, like, you know, but I
01:13:37
play I don't play war zone. I never got into, I've never
01:13:41
gotten into battle Royale games as much as that's like the norm
01:13:44
for everything. I'm a multiplayer guy.
01:13:46
So I, I go in there and just piss people off in multiplayer.
01:13:49
So I I had reservations asking you.
01:13:52
And I should have gone with those endings, I feel like.
01:13:55
And then I gave, I gave the biggest non answer right now,
01:13:58
yeah. Yeah, you said, you said you.
01:14:01
Had to think about it. And then you proceeded to think
01:14:04
about it in real time. Yeah.
01:14:06
And Jen, what game? You said You.
01:14:07
That's it. OK, it would have to be one of
01:14:10
two. Either Dragon Age 2 or, and this
01:14:14
is so funny because they're both 2 or Mass Effect 2.
01:14:17
I do like some of the stuff from three and I did enjoy Andromeda.
01:14:21
I know not everybody did, but I feel like those very consistent
01:14:24
storyline had very interesting characters in both of those and
01:14:30
strong like engine that gave you some fun silly stuff to do as
01:14:35
well as like the main storyline that's like, you know, hey, I
01:14:39
got gotta save the world. So I like that because it's
01:14:42
chaotic and you can sometimes you can just, you know, kill
01:14:45
everything and sometimes you don't have to.
01:14:47
That's me in a nutshell. Chaos sometimes killing
01:14:50
everything and sometimes not too.
01:14:52
Yeah, yeah, that pretty much describes shit.
01:14:55
OK, perfect. Yeah, I love it.
01:14:58
My my every. Dungeons and Dragons character I
01:15:01
have ever played, I'm like this time they're going to be waffle
01:15:04
good and amazing and then they turn out chaotic good bum times.
01:15:09
Chaotic neutral. Depends on the day I'm having,
01:15:11
but yeah, I have something about complex characters I like.
01:15:14
Characters that are so complicated.
01:15:17
My D&D character. I've said this famously on the
01:15:19
show, but like my D&D character is 1/2 Orc Paladin.
01:15:23
OK, specifically because of of the duality of the character,
01:15:26
right? It is a character that is prone
01:15:29
to violence, prone to chaos and, and just anger, but at the same
01:15:34
time a paladin that prays to Paladine, which means your, your
01:15:38
character is supposed to be a, a good-natured character that that
01:15:43
you know, always does the right thing.
01:15:45
So the whole thing is I like the, the, the push in the pool
01:15:48
of that kind of character. And I think that's what those
01:15:51
are my favorite types of characters, whether in video
01:15:53
game or anything in writing or anything, is characters that are
01:15:56
complex, where it's not just a black and white character.
01:15:59
It is a character that is just as complex and and complicated
01:16:04
as we are, as people are. Got it.
01:16:06
Are you like a Punisher fan? Oh I love Punisher.
01:16:08
Yeah, I, I, I, I. Love the Punisher because of
01:16:12
things like that, where his intent is always to do the right
01:16:15
thing, but he's such a violent asshole that he's gonna kill
01:16:19
anybody that gets in his way. All right, let's get to the
01:16:22
story. Yeah, let's jump into these
01:16:23
stories. Are 'cause I, 'cause I?
01:16:25
Talk about nerd stuff all we just yeah, yeah.
01:16:28
And he's doesn't feel well. Right, Thank you so much.
01:16:32
I. Appreciate that, Jen.
01:16:33
Yeah. What do you want to know?
01:16:35
I think we kind of touched on it.
01:16:37
Like the activations is another thing where I wanted to go to so
01:16:40
many more panels. They had a Alien Earth
01:16:44
activation where you could go around and it had all these
01:16:47
different props and like things that were in the Alien universe.
01:16:51
There was Predator Badlands. It's been a strong couple years,
01:16:54
I feel like, for Alien and for Predator, for those franchises.
01:16:57
So I'm glad that it's kind of getting some love out there in
01:17:00
the world as well, which was awesome.
01:17:02
I agree. What else?
01:17:04
Oh, I got to do a really cool one.
01:17:05
That was it sounds weird, but it was Old Spice and DC and
01:17:09
Superman and it was wait, I want to talk to you about that one.
01:17:12
But yes, go. Tell, tell about it and then
01:17:14
we'll talk about OK, OK. Yeah, yeah.
01:17:17
One of my friends that works for San Diego Comic Con needed some
01:17:20
money to go through the activation, and it was really
01:17:22
cool. We got, you know, kind of got to
01:17:25
jump in front of the line and they explained how the whole
01:17:27
activation works. And there was like a photo booth
01:17:30
that had an iPad on the ceiling inside of a rocket.
01:17:33
And so you would like press the photo booth thing and you do all
01:17:36
the crazy pictures. And then you'd hit the button
01:17:38
and then it would spit out an Old Spice that I thought that
01:17:41
you needed, which I'm sure was just random now that I say it.
01:17:44
But it was like, probably we all needed it.
01:17:46
It was so hot. We're all sweaty, everybody was
01:17:49
stinky. We all probably needed that.
01:17:51
And then another photo booth recreating Action comics #1 you
01:17:55
like hold up the car. And then that also spit out.
01:17:58
Yeah, it was it was great. And they had like a whole, like,
01:18:00
photography team. And the last one had like a
01:18:03
life-size bottle of the deodorant.
01:18:06
And if you scan the QR code, there was like a digital
01:18:09
Superman that would pop up on your phone.
01:18:11
And then you could play this game shooting stuff into the
01:18:15
deodorant bucket, which was sounds weird, but it was really
01:18:18
cool. And then they had a DJ in there
01:18:20
and a lounge system and everything.
01:18:21
But yeah, that was that was one of the the better activation
01:18:25
that I got to do. That's awesome.
01:18:26
OK, so I have been saying for. Years that Sundays at any comic
01:18:31
book convention is the stinkiest day of the convention because of
01:18:34
all the Bo and I'm just so glad that the Dan Diego Comic Con
01:18:39
finally read my letter and they had Old Spice there to make sure
01:18:43
everybody had deodorant that's so smart all right well yeah,
01:18:47
they. Should kick you back some money
01:18:48
because, yeah, I don't know if it helped too much, but at least
01:18:52
people had access to some fresh, fresh old Spice.
01:18:56
They couldn't use that as an excuse.
01:18:57
Yeah. Exactly.
01:19:00
Oh. Man.
01:19:01
Well, let's let's jump into these.
01:19:02
Stories that we have here because we definitely want your
01:19:04
opinion on some of these things, whether you were there or not.
01:19:07
So I'll read, I'll read the intro and then.
01:19:11
If you want, we can just swap stories.
01:19:13
Yeah, go for it. How's that?
01:19:14
OK, SDCC 2025 dropped harder than a Sith Lord at therapy.
01:19:19
And while Marvel and DC took a breather, the Con gave us
01:19:22
cameos, cosmic scent, and so much genre goodness it should
01:19:27
have been illegal in free system.
01:19:29
All right, well guys, Hot H came in hot with.
01:19:32
Icons and intergalactic oddities.
01:19:34
So let's talk about Lucas Museum of Narrative Art George Lucas
01:19:38
made his SDCC debut with Guillermo del Toro, Doug Chang
01:19:42
and Queen Latifah. The museum opens in LA in 2026,
01:19:46
celebrating illustrated storytelling.
01:19:48
Think art, comics, Star Wars models, vintage strips and more.
01:19:53
Lucas called it a temple to the the people's art now also
01:19:56
project Hail Mary Ryan Gosling wakes up wakes alone in space
01:20:01
befriends A5 legged alien named rocky and it's a practical
01:20:05
effects win and races to save humanity.
01:20:08
Gosling and Lord and Miller Andy Weir equals funny, heartwarming
01:20:12
hard sci-fi friendship goals, and it's launching in March of
01:20:16
2026. We got another activation here,
01:20:19
or not activation, but another goodness goodness here with Tron
01:20:24
Aries, Jared Leto, Jeff Bridges, and Greta Lee dropped cycle
01:20:28
light or light cycle footage and a Nine Inch Nails music video.
01:20:32
Real world chases, meet grid escapes, plus lasers.
01:20:35
So many lasers. And of course, we got a drop for
01:20:38
James Gunn and John Cena talking about Peacemaker Season 2.
01:20:42
They tease multiverse hopping. Bugs Bunny cameos and Frank
01:20:45
Grillos. Huh.
01:20:47
And Frank Grillos. Bugs Bunny cameos.
01:20:49
Frank Grillos. Vengeance arc.
01:20:51
Expect chaos chainsaws and emotional damage.
01:20:55
Or I guess it would be emotional damage.
01:20:58
All right, so let's let's let's talk about this.
01:21:02
Were you there for any of those? So the only, yeah, the only one
01:21:07
I caught. Was the George Lucas one OK, and
01:21:10
like by the that's the one to catch.
01:21:12
Yeah, that's the one to catch, though.
01:21:13
Yeah, definitely. I was like I can't miss this
01:21:15
one. It was amazing.
01:21:17
I caught it like really only the last 20 minutes, but it got
01:21:22
deep. Like George was talking about,
01:21:24
you know, people's destiny and God and what, what he thought,
01:21:29
you know, the purpose of living was and everything.
01:21:33
And then so that was like an, a spiritual experience on a
01:21:37
Sunday. And then there was, and then
01:21:40
Guillermo kind of brought it back to actual art and, and the
01:21:43
creative process. And he talked a little bit about
01:21:46
AI and he talked a little bit about propaganda and how media
01:21:51
can be kind of turned against us or used against us.
01:21:54
So it was like, Dang, this is some pretty heavy, amazing
01:21:57
wisdom. But then as as they were walking
01:22:01
off, they just like had so much fun.
01:22:02
And that room too, I mean, it wasn't like last year I was
01:22:06
lucky enough to be there to see the Marvel panel and that I've
01:22:09
never been in a room like that. Like that was insane.
01:22:11
I mean, having all the Thunderbolts that they started
01:22:14
with a full orchestra, everybody dressed as Deadpool Wolverine.
01:22:17
And then we got to see a clip of Fantastic Four Thunderbolts and
01:22:21
then obviously the Robert Downey Junior where everybody lost it.
01:22:24
And right. That was the craziest room I
01:22:26
think I've ever been in. This wasn't that, but it still
01:22:31
felt impactful. You know, you felt like you're
01:22:33
watching somebody who. Yeah, it's just the one of the
01:22:36
greats. I mean, they both I can kill.
01:22:38
Guillermo del Toro is as well. But like George Lucas just, you
01:22:42
know, never doing a panel at Comic Con.
01:22:43
That's crazy. But he, you could tell he's just
01:22:47
a very deep, intelligent individual.
01:22:50
And it really makes me want to go see that museum.
01:22:52
It was, it was great. Absolutely.
01:22:54
I mean, you know, George Lucas. In in himself.
01:22:57
I mean, the guy is philosophy, right?
01:22:59
I mean, he's based. He Star Wars is based on the
01:23:03
hero's journey. So I mean like, you know, the
01:23:05
guy, the the guy has been, you know, you want to talk about
01:23:07
somebody who believes in philosophy and and has a
01:23:09
philosophical journey on his own.
01:23:12
Get get one of the Del Toro's another one that's like that.
01:23:14
You like you look at the art you see that's so good.
01:23:17
You say I can never say it that way.
01:23:18
Say Guillermo del Toro. Don't.
01:23:22
Feed into his. Ego.
01:23:23
Yeah, that was pretty good though I can't rule my Rs.
01:23:26
I'm jealous. It's a, it's a, it's a Hispanic
01:23:29
thing. I know I can roll my Rs I'm.
01:23:32
Not Hispanic. And I can roll my Rs.
01:23:35
Well, I'm not and I can't. But yeah, I mean, it's it's
01:23:40
it's. The level of, of respect for the
01:23:43
art that they have. And I mean, you know, again,
01:23:45
I'm, I'm, I wasn't there. I just got to hear about what
01:23:48
they talked about and everything like that.
01:23:50
And you know, it, it excites me. I'm I, I can't wait to see the
01:23:52
museum. Yeah, either.
01:23:54
Yeah. I mean, it's it's it's
01:23:56
definitely things that excite me as a nerd.
01:23:59
Yeah, I think it'll be amazing. I can't wait to see.
01:24:02
All of it. And when I do come to
01:24:04
California, we'll have to go visit the museum.
01:24:06
That's right. Yeah.
01:24:07
I will say what last thing though it was.
01:24:09
Funny because Queen Latifah was, you know, moderating the panel,
01:24:12
and she asked George why there are no straight lines in the
01:24:15
museum. And he went on, yeah, like a 15
01:24:18
minute tangent talking about like, life, destiny of God.
01:24:21
So it was pretty funny. It was insightful.
01:24:24
But I still don't know why there's no right angles in that
01:24:26
museum. So just throwing that out there.
01:24:29
It's it's a George Lucas thing. That's all you got to say.
01:24:32
Exactly, Lucas thing. Yep, you're right.
01:24:34
Oh. Man, let's move into the next
01:24:35
part here, OK? Warping from the mainstage.
01:24:38
To the side Quest cameos that made fans scream and squint
01:24:43
almost said a different word. I'm glad I double checked
01:24:46
Brandon Ralph kind of the. Crashes the.
01:24:48
Rejects dressed as Spider Man Ralph crashed a concert to
01:24:52
promote his horror sci-fi indie aliens regret and zingers fly
01:24:58
fast. Superman has range.
01:25:01
And then Archie versus minor threat Betty Cooper takes on
01:25:05
indie super villains in this unexpected comic crossover.
01:25:08
Chaos, SAS and multiversal milkshake incoming.
01:25:12
So and I So I'd heard some of this.
01:25:14
I guess GAIL Simone's gonna do one.
01:25:16
Like, there's like a bunch of things today.
01:25:18
So did you get to see any of this, Thomas?
01:25:21
Did you like. Yeah, I actually saw both, so
01:25:24
yeah. Really.
01:25:25
Oh my God, that's amazing. Not a person on the brown and
01:25:28
wrath thing. I.
01:25:29
Saw it on TikTok but I saw him pop up, which was super random
01:25:35
because he kind of like was like, who's this random like
01:25:37
dude jumping on stage with the All American Rejects and like
01:25:41
awkwardly asking for the mic. And then of course he took off
01:25:43
his mask and then it was like Oh my God, that's Superman wearing
01:25:46
spider man stuff. So that's weird.
01:25:48
Also, I never heard of that movie but it was cool.
01:25:51
You know, that got a lot of buzz from a lot of people.
01:25:53
All American Rejects can't beat that, right?
01:25:56
I mean, I guess it does. Could also say he was the.
01:25:58
Adam, you can also say that he was boyfriend #4 you know, evil
01:26:01
boyfriend number four. Yeah, well, I mean, he was.
01:26:05
Boyfriend to Yeah, he was boyfriend #4 he was evil.
01:26:08
Boyfriend he was dating, yeah, but he.
01:26:10
Was dating. Girlfriend #1 yes, from Scott.
01:26:14
Yeah, that's right. Brie Larson.
01:26:16
Our Captain Marvel. Who really, You know, you're
01:26:19
right. Is is, I mean she.
01:26:20
She was his girlfriend in that. So I mean, like, you know, yeah,
01:26:22
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I told totally went over my
01:26:25
head. And I was like, oh, Scott
01:26:26
Pilgrim also, like, he can't have dairy, right?
01:26:28
Isn't that the whole thing? Like they all said to give him
01:26:31
dairy because he's a vegan. Vegan.
01:26:32
Yeah, I know. So.
01:26:34
Good no vegan diet. No Vegan powers, Yeah.
01:26:37
Yeah, yeah. Milk isn't vegan.
01:26:38
Please come in there. What a What A and that was a
01:26:40
punisher. Came and and.
01:26:42
Did it. That's right.
01:26:43
That's right. Yeah.
01:26:45
Oh my. Gosh, it's so much.
01:26:46
Nerd. I know.
01:26:48
My favorite part is when they jump.
01:26:50
Out of the room and they both like skip over the bricks and
01:26:52
they high 5. They're like, yay, that part is
01:26:55
just ridiculous. That's the part that I was just
01:26:57
thinking of right now with them. Amazing.
01:27:03
Did you get But you did get to see the Archie versus?
01:27:05
Minor threat panel for the Well, the yeah yeah, the.
01:27:09
Thing I don't. Think it was a panel.
01:27:10
But like the. What?
01:27:12
I wasn't. Oh well, I was in the.
01:27:14
Minor threats panel and they brought out obviously it was
01:27:17
Patton Oswalt, it was his collaborator there.
01:27:19
I'm trying to see if I can pull up a picture right now of all
01:27:21
the different collaborators that they're having work on minor
01:27:24
threats, which was ridiculous. It's like, you know, Kremlin,
01:27:27
the creme of like, comic book writers and artists.
01:27:29
Oh, OK. Yeah.
01:27:30
So one of the side, what's the word?
01:27:33
I'm looking for one of like the side runs that they're doing.
01:27:36
They're have Mike Mcnola, Scott Hepburn, Gary Nord work or
01:27:40
Carrie Nord working on a run. Then they have JM, the Damatis
01:27:45
de Matias Modest, the Modest David Ties.
01:27:47
Yeah, Damatias. Yeah, you.
01:27:49
Had it right. Thank you.
01:27:50
Don't know how to say that, Kevin.
01:27:51
McGuire and then Hannah Rose May and Justin Mason are working on
01:27:55
a book. Then Dan Hernandez and Derek
01:27:57
Robertson are working in a book. And then they're also like, that
01:27:59
wasn't even all of them either. There was like a GAIL Simone
01:28:01
thing in there. Yeah.
01:28:03
Dan Jurgens, Dan Jerk. Is that right?
01:28:05
I think that's right. Yeah, he's they're there too.
01:28:07
Like there was just so many people that they're bringing on
01:28:09
stage. And so I will be honest, I
01:28:11
didn't read minor threats or anything.
01:28:13
But as soon as I left, I was like, that's it.
01:28:14
I'm getting it. I'm buying all of it because
01:28:16
they they were just the way they were talking about it and
01:28:20
talking about, OK, now we're getting to Volume 3 and the
01:28:23
offshoots of the universe that they're creating and what is it?
01:28:27
Is it Image or Boom that they're doing with is there dark horse,
01:28:30
a dark horse image? I think it might be image.
01:28:32
Either way, they're like they're letting them just take the reins
01:28:35
and run with it and bringing in so much talent in the comic book
01:28:38
industry. I was like, all right, I don't
01:28:40
know why I haven't read this already, but I know I need to.
01:28:42
So that was an awesome panel. Yeah, it's a it's a trip because
01:28:45
there's so much that. That Archie is doing crossovers
01:28:49
with right now. Like they just came off of a run
01:28:51
with Jane Silent Bob. Oh, yeah.
01:28:53
I just want to say hey. Phil, we can.
01:28:56
We can. Now we can we can reveal to
01:28:58
Thomas that this that San Diego, the San Diego International
01:29:01
Comic Book Convention is actually it's been a long con
01:29:05
for on behalf of Thomas that we wanted him to read the minor
01:29:11
threat series. And so we created this whole
01:29:14
thing just and like backed it up and had realities.
01:29:18
So wow, congratulations everyone.
01:29:21
Congratulations. We did it, y'all.
01:29:23
We did it. We did it everybody.
01:29:24
We did it. Congratulations.
01:29:31
This is like a Springfield awakening, all right?
01:29:35
Matt Fraction is also. Writing something too.
01:29:37
Don't throw. That nice?
01:29:39
That's crazy. I love Matt Fraction.
01:29:42
All right, so let's let's move on to the next.
01:29:44
The next story here, it's time to blast into the reboot zone
01:29:48
where nostalgia is back and SDCC fought Bow with citrus Bo Bo
01:29:54
with citrus powered superheroes and wearable pets.
01:29:58
Coyote versus Acme is is on is on the comeback, which I'm
01:30:02
excited for. I've been wanting to see it
01:30:04
since they announced it and it got like, you know, destroyed
01:30:07
and it's bringing back and the fans say journey.
01:30:09
The fans really did say the. Journey that it's.
01:30:11
On while E sues Acme for years of defective gadgets, Bugs Bunny
01:30:16
snitches. Miss Prissy joins the jury, but
01:30:19
Will Forte and John Cena anchor the absurdity?
01:30:23
I'm I've been waiting for this just because it's like, you
01:30:26
know, I think all the fans were excited for this.
01:30:29
And then Warner Brothers was like, no, we're not doing it.
01:30:31
And it's like, what the hell, dude?
01:30:32
Like why, you know, neo pets are back and then I'm sorry, go
01:30:37
ahead and then condiment and then the.
01:30:38
Condiment company saved them. Condiment company saved it.
01:30:42
It's so crazy. Right, Neo pets.
01:30:45
Are back the early 2. Thousands returned with account
01:30:48
recovery tools and wearable merch.
01:30:50
Nostalgia hits harder than a painted Irie with low hunger
01:30:54
sets. It's amazing.
01:30:56
And of course we know that old. Spice final comic.
01:31:00
Con finally read Phrase letter because Old Spice unveiled a
01:31:03
Citrus Cosmos fragrance for the Man of Steel.
01:31:06
It's hilarious. I love it.
01:31:08
I think that was my. Most favorite thing ever.
01:31:11
I was like, I talk it like he Bill can tell you if we talk
01:31:15
about a comic book convention at all, I am always talking about
01:31:18
how bad the Bo is on Sundays. Like I'm like, it is it thick?
01:31:22
The air is thick with it and it's no one's fault.
01:31:25
Like everybody's just exhausted and it's hot out.
01:31:29
You know all the booze are trying to escape.
01:31:31
Yeah, but it's like and but like you're inches.
01:31:34
Away from another person. So it's totally that.
01:31:36
So where they cost, all fine. Yeah, well, but.
01:31:41
And then Old Spice is like, hey, maybe we should do an activation
01:31:44
at a Comic Con. Do you think that would be, you
01:31:47
think that might be a good thing?
01:31:48
And Sando Comic Con's like, oh, thank you.
01:31:51
We've been trying to do this free.
01:31:53
Yeah. Just piping it in.
01:31:55
Instead of putting it on. People just pipe that in, pipe
01:31:57
that fragrance convention that's gonna, yeah, addition.
01:32:02
They do. I know they at least should.
01:32:03
Put like vending machines in the.
01:32:04
Convention now, I mean they would absolutely kill it, but
01:32:08
yeah. Did did you guys hear about this
01:32:10
movie? I I wasn't able to watch it,
01:32:12
although, you know, I had some friends that kind of got in
01:32:15
there, but I instead I got to do some some other interviews at
01:32:18
that time, which for me was pretty pretty cool Like I just
01:32:23
had a a ton of fun kind of doing that.
01:32:25
So did you have any of you watched Supergirl?
01:32:27
Watch Supergirl Yeah on CW. Ohh.
01:32:31
Like Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:32:33
I'm like there's. A whole.
01:32:34
Bunch of like there is the hell for a while because he said he
01:32:39
said at. First, had you seen this movie?
01:32:40
And I'm like, wait, Supergirl movies already out?
01:32:42
I thought they hadn't filmed it, you know?
01:32:44
Yeah. Are you right?
01:32:45
I think there was like the. Original or whatever, like the
01:32:47
80s version or 90s version. But yeah.
01:32:50
So I got to speak to Nicole Mains.
01:32:53
I'm not sure if you're familiar with her.
01:32:54
I loved her in Supergirl I. But she played Dreamer, right?
01:32:58
Yeah. So I got to do kind of A1.
01:33:01
On one with her talking about her new comic series, Secret 6
01:33:04
and, you know, ask her some questions about her time playing
01:33:07
Dreamer. And then, you know, she when the
01:33:10
she knew that the show was wrapping up, she actually went
01:33:12
to DC and was like, Hey, I don't want this character to die or go
01:33:15
away. Like, can I, can you guys should
01:33:17
write a comic book story. And then they said to her, why
01:33:20
don't you write this story? And she's like, I'm not a comic
01:33:23
book writer. And they're like, ah, don't
01:33:25
worry about it. We think you could figure
01:33:26
something out. And she told me about her whole
01:33:28
process getting thrown in to the deep end of DC Comics.
01:33:32
And like with their professionals and their, I don't
01:33:36
know, I guess they have like DC teachers somewhere.
01:33:38
They have masters, I guess somewhere in there.
01:33:40
And she told me about writing secret sticks and some other
01:33:43
things coming up. But it sounds so cool.
01:33:45
So yeah, wasn't able to see the Acme movie, but I at least we
01:33:48
get to see it later, later on this year.
01:33:50
So that's gonna be great. Yeah, absolutely.
01:33:52
I think that's fun. I think it's great that.
01:33:53
You got A1A1 on one. Sit down with Nicole, mate.
01:33:57
I think that's amazing, though. And are you putting that up on
01:34:00
one of the shows or was it? Yeah, Which one?
01:34:02
I mean, is it coming out soon or?
01:34:05
Come on, fuck yourself. Oh God.
01:34:08
Absolutely. I don't know.
01:34:09
This isn't. It's not network approved.
01:34:12
I don't know. But I also am a collaborator
01:34:15
over at Nerd Initiative. And so both the interviews,
01:34:17
majority of the interviews that I did are up on the website now.
01:34:20
Nicole Maines is up on YouTube. I also got to do Philip Kennedy
01:34:25
Johnson, who's writing ventures of Superman, the book of Elle
01:34:29
was he's a very intimidating guy.
01:34:31
Like the guy is built. He's a little bit stone cold,
01:34:35
you know, not in a in an unfriendly way, but he looks
01:34:38
intimidating. And so we sit down.
01:34:41
I didn't know I was gonna have this interview.
01:34:42
One of the PR reps from DC was like, hey, do you want to
01:34:45
interview him now? I'm like, I don't know.
01:34:47
I don't have anything prepared. He's like, ah, you'll be fine.
01:34:50
I'm like, OK. So thank you to Google and
01:34:53
ChatGPT. I kind of whipped up a batch of
01:34:56
questions and then when we sat down, he kind of started going
01:34:59
into how he writes Superman. And I asked him, you know, is it
01:35:03
hard to write Superman? He said, for me, he's like, I
01:35:05
know a lot of people say it is hard, but for me it's not hard
01:35:07
at all because the things that people think are a weakness are
01:35:10
not his weakness. These are the things that are
01:35:12
his weakness. And then the way he kind of
01:35:14
approaches it is that he is very close with his 11 year old son.
01:35:18
And I could just feel it was going in this very personal
01:35:22
direction, which was just amazing.
01:35:23
You know, rarely do you get to, like, peel back the layers
01:35:27
behind the emotions of why you create those stories with these
01:35:31
characters. Right.
01:35:32
And yeah. And it just so happens I found
01:35:35
out that I'm having my first little one.
01:35:36
For anybody watching, you could see that there's a stroller back
01:35:39
there. That thing's brand new.
01:35:40
And there's not been a baby in it yet, but there will probably
01:35:43
be in December. Well, Congrats.
01:35:44
So I just thank you very much. Congratulations.
01:35:47
Thank you. Thank you.
01:35:48
Mazel tov. Appreciate it.
01:35:50
But yeah. So I kind of just put the
01:35:52
questions down that I had briefly prepped and was just
01:35:55
like, so, you know, give it to be straight.
01:35:58
And and he kind of shared some fatherly advice both from like
01:36:01
the perspective of Superman and then from the perspective of
01:36:04
Batman with Damian Waynes. And it was like this amazing
01:36:07
conversation that I could not even imagine.
01:36:09
Like it was like, this is incredible.
01:36:11
You know, like, yeah, to to also get this advice almost from the
01:36:16
person who is, you know, telling you how Superman would be a
01:36:19
father or the person who's telling you how Batman would be
01:36:22
a father was a was a trip. So yeah, that that was a cool
01:36:25
conversation. Awesome.
01:36:27
You. It seems like you had a really.
01:36:28
Well-rounded on, but we have one more story left.
01:36:31
I think it's mine, right? Yep.
01:36:33
I think that was you, right? Yeah.
01:36:34
You did the acne thing. It's my turn.
01:36:36
Go for it. Ready to embrace?
01:36:39
The weird killer. Clowns, desert bots and slime
01:36:43
drenched anti heroes pushed SECC to the edge.
01:36:48
Predator Badlands This time the Predators the underdog facing
01:36:52
off against Merck with help from a desert robot played by Elle
01:36:57
Fanning. And who doesn't want to get
01:36:59
trapped on the planet with her stylized survival meet franchise
01:37:03
Reinvention and the Toxic Avenger reboot.
01:37:06
Peter Dinklage leads a goopy, campy romp.
01:37:10
Mutant Revenge An environmental An environmental charnage slime
01:37:15
budget extravagant It. Welcome to Dairy Pennywise's
01:37:19
origin story teases with blood lore and uncomfortable child
01:37:23
after trailer O meter, you will not sleep well.
01:37:26
Did you say IT? Yeah, yeah, say IT.
01:37:31
You're still into the IT crowd, Jen.
01:37:35
Yeah, it's in my DNA. I'm sorry, it's in my.
01:37:38
DNAIT crowds in my DNA IT. Welcome to dairy it.
01:37:42
You guys got it. Pennywise.
01:37:43
Everybody knows who Pennywise is.
01:37:45
Yeah. Giving me grief.
01:37:47
Why are you guys griefing me like that?
01:37:49
The Walking Dead, Daryl Dix. Then we kind of already talked
01:37:53
about this. Rin Ritas takes his final bow in
01:37:56
a revenge heavy arc that trade zombie hordes for personal
01:37:59
reckoning. Cue the crossbow curtain call.
01:38:02
And that's it. Well done.
01:38:03
Yeah. So I mean, did you get?
01:38:05
It's all you get to. See any of these?
01:38:07
Yeah. So no, I didn't.
01:38:09
Get to see. Them, but I've watched the
01:38:10
trailers for all of these, so it's like I know a little bit of
01:38:13
what to expect out of this entire grouping.
01:38:15
For me, it's definitely Predator Badland, not only because I saw
01:38:19
the activations out there, but like, God, I think it's Dan
01:38:22
Trachtenberg who did Prey, and I think he's doing this one too.
01:38:25
And I also think he was a producer on Killer of Killers.
01:38:28
So he's crushing it in the Predator universe.
01:38:31
Yes. You got Feldy Alvarez with the
01:38:33
alien side. They said years ago, they said,
01:38:36
you know what the best Alien versus Predator movie would be
01:38:39
you. The best Alien versus Predator
01:38:40
movie would be a Predator that you're following along with,
01:38:43
where you're just kind of following their story.
01:38:46
You don't know if they're gonna make it.
01:38:47
And at some point the movie switches and it introduces
01:38:49
aliens. Now I'm gonna throw out a Hail
01:38:51
Mary prediction here. I think we could get that in
01:38:54
Predator Badlands. So yeah, I, I don't know, but
01:38:57
it, it just seems phenomenal. I've been loving everything
01:39:01
they've been doing. So I'm so excited about that
01:39:03
movie. It's, it's crazy because like
01:39:05
right off the bat. Like the very first thing you
01:39:08
see in that trailer is Whelan Notani.
01:39:09
And it's just kind of like that is that that is a blatant
01:39:12
reference to to to Alien. Yeah.
01:39:15
You know, so that's kind of like where I'm.
01:39:17
I'm in the same. I'm in the same boat with you on
01:39:19
this. Like I'm so happy that somebody
01:39:22
is trying to to kind of rectify this alien versus Predator and
01:39:26
not make it like a, oh, let's go off of, you know, let's let's
01:39:30
try and make something that we think is gonna make a bunch of
01:39:32
money. And it's like, hey, let's do
01:39:33
something that is actually a good story and that will make
01:39:36
money. You know, like, yeah, I've
01:39:38
always been of the of the mind that if you make something good,
01:39:42
if you make a good property, that will make money.
01:39:46
Like don't sit there and try and make something with the
01:39:48
intention to make, to make money.
01:39:49
Make something that is good and that will make money.
01:39:52
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I mean prey.
01:39:54
Prey did that one. Of the biggest mistakes on Prey
01:39:56
was that it didn't get a theatrical release.
01:39:58
Yeah, like it should have. I mean, that movie is
01:40:01
incredible. Like, I was like, why is this so
01:40:03
good? And why is this not in theaters?
01:40:05
And I feel like with Dan Trachtenberg when it comes to
01:40:08
Predator. Also, I will say since all this
01:40:10
Predator stuff's coming out and it's been fire, like comics have
01:40:13
been good, movies have been good.
01:40:14
Now also there's like all these Predator fans coming out of the
01:40:17
woodwork. I'm like, what?
01:40:18
I didn't know you're a Predator fan.
01:40:19
Like, oh, dude, I've loved it. I'm like, yeah, sure, bro.
01:40:21
But like, it is been incredible. And I feel like Dan Tracenberg
01:40:26
is like the James Gunn of, like, Predator now.
01:40:28
Like, he, like, understands the character.
01:40:31
He understands the world. He knows the lore.
01:40:33
He knows how to make those characters interesting.
01:40:36
Like, man, I am. I'm.
01:40:38
You're right. I think it's going to be good.
01:40:40
I don't want to oversell it because I always think it's
01:40:42
probably going to suck this time, but then it's good.
01:40:45
I would bet that, at least for me, it's going to get like, an 8
01:40:48
out of 10 or like a four out of five, you know?
01:40:50
Yeah. And it's funny because, like,
01:40:52
again, you know, we talk about this a lot.
01:40:53
But like, you know, there's always a level of people who
01:40:56
complain about the movies and everything is like, you know,
01:40:59
they see, they're seeing this trailer and people are really
01:41:02
complaining about like, Oh yeah, no, it's, you know, he doesn't
01:41:06
have a mask on or he's getting beat up by other predators and
01:41:10
stuff. And it's like, well, that's the
01:41:11
whole point. The the whole point is he's a
01:41:13
juvenile. He hasn't earned his mask, He
01:41:15
hasn't earned all the weapons and everything like that.
01:41:17
And the whole point is he's surviving so that he can move to
01:41:20
the next level. Like we've never seen this level
01:41:23
of their culture. Yeah, you know, and the fact
01:41:25
that also the fact that we see we see it in the trailer, you
01:41:28
know, it's not very often we see them talk right.
01:41:30
And it's like seeing them talk in their own language and the
01:41:33
fact that they took the time to create linguistics for them.
01:41:37
Mm hmm. Right.
01:41:38
Like this isn't just oh, we're gonna have them randomly say
01:41:40
words like they created a Klingon level language for them
01:41:44
for the yo tie. And it's like I'm I'm all for
01:41:47
this because that that just adds to the immersion into into this
01:41:51
world. You know what I mean?
01:41:52
Yeah, Wasn't it the guy that that created?
01:41:54
The Valyrian language in Game of Thrones, isn't it the same guy
01:41:57
that did that? Same guy who created.
01:41:59
He is so. Good.
01:42:01
Yeah, Yeah. Nice, good pool.
01:42:03
That's a great fact. I hadn't.
01:42:04
I did. Not know that that was a good
01:42:05
fun fact yeah that's kind of that's my thing I think I.
01:42:08
Just reported on this like a couple weeks ago, yeah.
01:42:11
That's amazing. I also I also claim to be.
01:42:13
Immortal. Because I pull random stuff
01:42:16
right out of my butt. I mean, it's amazing.
01:42:19
Infinite wisdom out of the Tuchus I.
01:42:20
Like it? That's where it goes.
01:42:23
That's why it's so big. Crazy, I love it.
01:42:28
Yep, the rest of the. Movies, too, I think, are gonna
01:42:30
be. Fun as well, like I really want
01:42:32
to watch Welcome to dairy. I've liked the new IT iterations
01:42:35
and they've been great. What was the other one that you
01:42:37
said? Oh toxic Avenger Hail Mary.
01:42:40
Oh. Toxic Avenger.
01:42:42
Mary, that was a while. Ago, that was.
01:42:44
Way back up there. I got that super late.
01:42:46
I tried to get into that. One.
01:42:48
Yeah, I couldn't do it, but I'm super on board without it, it
01:42:52
looks like. I mean, his Ryan Gosling, does
01:42:54
he have an Oscar? I know he did.
01:42:56
La La Land. I think he got one for La La
01:42:58
Land. Did he?
01:42:59
OK? He didn't.
01:42:59
No, he he had, he doesn't have an Oscar.
01:43:02
Emma Stone got an Oscar. She got an Oscar, right?
01:43:04
Yeah. And I I don't think he.
01:43:06
Gets an Oscar for an alien. Movie, but it'd.
01:43:08
Be super cool. He looks like he's going for it,
01:43:09
like he looks like this is his cast, his castaway who didn't
01:43:13
get that one. There's a couple of movies that
01:43:15
he should have gotten an Oscar. For like, I mean, he should have
01:43:17
he he definitely should have got oh, what is IT support behind
01:43:22
the Pines. He well, he got behind the
01:43:24
Pines. He should have got for he should
01:43:25
have got it. For the yeah like he should have
01:43:26
got it for the notebook a long time ago, He should have got one
01:43:30
for best supporting for Barbie. Oh yeah, you know, yeah, 'cause
01:43:35
I mean he's. Enough he's.
01:43:36
Enough. He should have.
01:43:39
Got jacket Genre movies usually don't get anything, but I mean,
01:43:44
he should have got it for what was the stunt movie?
01:43:47
Jen Drive. No order for stuntman.
01:43:49
Stuntman. Yeah.
01:43:51
It was fun. Yeah, you know, so I mean.
01:43:53
There's a lot of places. He's, he's kind of like a little
01:43:56
guy, the fall guy, a fall guy, fall guy.
01:43:58
Fall guy. Yeah, man.
01:44:00
He. He.
01:44:01
Should have he he's he's. Like, he's like DiCaprio in that
01:44:04
he, like, there's so many movies that he should have gotten
01:44:07
awards for that he has not gotten awards for.
01:44:10
And he's gonna get an award eventually for something stupid.
01:44:12
Yeah. They're just gonna give him one.
01:44:14
Yeah. It's like this is the.
01:44:15
Closest he'll get. Yeah, it's, it's like.
01:44:17
De. Niro getting it for.
01:44:18
Or no. But was it De Niro Pacino that
01:44:20
got it for a scent of a woman? That was Pacino, right?
01:44:22
Yeah, Pacino was in Scent of a Woman.
01:44:24
De Niro. Was not in that.
01:44:25
Movie OK so like it's but it's like Pacino 1.
01:44:28
Of Hollywood's greatest actors, because you look at all the
01:44:31
movies he's been in and the award, he gets it for A Scent of
01:44:33
a Woman, but that happens all the time.
01:44:36
Now, yeah, and. So, and I feel like, yeah, if if
01:44:40
a genre movie was was going to give someone an Oscar, I think
01:44:45
it would be something like Andy Weir related.
01:44:47
And there's a lot of hate from him.
01:44:49
But the movies were great. Like The Martian.
01:44:51
I love that movie. And I know I'm gonna love
01:44:53
Project Tell Mary just from the trailer.
01:44:56
I think that or what if the Zach Levy Star Wars movie with him in
01:45:01
it just blows everybody out of the water and it's the first
01:45:04
Star Wars Oscar or an acting category.
01:45:08
Because I mean, come on. Guys, dialogue's not been that
01:45:10
great lately, or well, kind of ever.
01:45:13
But, you know, that's, that's what I just think it would be
01:45:16
great. You know, Ryan Gosling, he's
01:45:18
been tiptoeing around it, tiptoeing, putting his little
01:45:21
enough shoes in there so he will get there.
01:45:24
Yeah, right. The horses almost got him
01:45:26
something. Cruise it.
01:45:27
Well, he'll Tom Cruise it and he won't care about it and.

Nervous, I hold the record. Of the most negative score that

It's it's more about having fun and seeing who, seeing if
01:49:23
anybody can get the answers right.
01:49:25
And when we play, well, really the whole point of the game is
01:49:27
just to piss off the host. So, Oh yeah, it's Tort.
01:49:31
It's really just a torture. Should.
01:49:32
Do because none of us know what the like we might know what's
01:49:36
wrong with it, but we never know what the like thing is that goes

in there and he's and it's just yeah, it's glorious.
01:49:41
And I say that as his mother. I I am his mother.

01:52:14
And. Wait, and so Phil is was Joey
01:52:18
Lauren Adams? Was she the crush because you
01:52:20
said something about a crush last week and I didn't follow up
01:52:23
on it. Now I need follow up.
01:52:25
Two of my crushes were there. So Joy Lauren Adams was my.
01:52:28
Crush in the 90s. She was one of my crushes in the
01:52:30
90s, but I mean, like, you know, she was that, you know, Biodome
01:52:35
and obviously Chasing Amy and, and couple other movies that she
01:52:40
was in, but like, you know, she was in Big Daddy Dazed and
01:52:44
Confused, She was in Big Daddy, you know.
01:52:46
So like, I mean, you know, I had a big crush on her in, in, in
01:52:49
the 90s and it was, it was fun talking with her.
01:52:52
Now, Michaela Hoover is kind of a like developing crush right
01:52:57
now. And then after having a
01:52:58
conversation with her over the weekend, even more so now,
01:53:01
right, 'cause she's, she's, she's like a horror nerd.
01:53:04
So it's like, you know, yeah, it's it's it's it was great over
01:53:10
over the weekend and everything like that.
01:53:12
Guys. Delong, the Delong's were kind
01:53:15
of more in the field while I was on stage the entire time.
01:53:19
So what what was your guys's experience over over the course
01:53:22
of the show? Well, I mean, there was an
01:53:24
annoying Unicorn guy. Running around as always.
01:53:27
Yeah, he tried to crash the cosplay contest.
01:53:29
As always, I wouldn't be super time.
01:53:33
Alone what's? Funny is I made Chris.
01:53:35
Bartlett laugh out loud at one point.
01:53:38
So I'm after on Saturday after I finished with everything, I'm
01:53:41
walking around as you in a pool and I see a Superman cosplayer,
01:53:45
right? And I go Superman.
01:53:47
I was like, Oh my God, man, I loved your movie.
01:53:49
It was so good. It made me laugh, it made me
01:53:52
cry, it made me cream my pants. And Chris Bartlett immediately
01:53:56
dropped everything he was doing and started laughing because it
01:53:59
was right in front of his table. That's awesome.
01:54:01
And he just starts cracking. Up and he just.
01:54:03
Like he's like, he looks over at me and I'm just still kind of
01:54:06
cracking jokes and things like that.
01:54:08
I start messing with, cause Superman was there with hot
01:54:11
girls. So I'm sitting there messing
01:54:12
with hot girl and I was like, yeah, you know what?
01:54:14
You were really good in the movie, but your animated version
01:54:16
was so much better, so much hotter.
01:54:18
Also keep the NTH metal away from me.
01:54:20
I, I've had my head knocked off before.
01:54:22
It's not fun, you know, And it's just like I'm, I'm just quipping
01:54:25
the entire time. And Chris like stops me for a
01:54:27
minute and he goes, I just have to say you are probably one of
01:54:29
the best Deadpool cosplayers I've ever seen because you
01:54:32
usually don't get, because he was like, you usually don't get
01:54:34
Deadpool cosplayers that are like loud and obnoxious and
01:54:37
quippy and fast on the on on the break like you are.
01:54:40
And he goes, and I absolutely love this because it's like
01:54:42
you're funny. You're fast on this kind of
01:54:45
stuff. It's very Deadpool, you know,
01:54:46
And then also the get up is very Deadpool.
01:54:48
So it was, it was a compliment. And I tell him during the
01:54:51
interview that so I was the Deadpool cosplayer yesterday,
01:54:54
goes no, that was you he needs to meet.
01:54:59

Sidekick Bill, It's very nice to walk around with the sidekick.
01:55:10
Yeah, so the the. Deadpool you guys see in the.
01:55:14
Picture up there. I did mess with him too for a
01:55:16
little bit because you know, the very first thing I did, because
01:55:20
there was other people that were just like, God, you're really in
01:55:22

01:55:23
So I see the other Deadpool and they're like, oh, there's
01:55:25
another Deadpool there. I was like, hey, you, you look

talk to three actors from the Sonic series.
02:01:14
I gotta ask. Delong's is Bruce Cohen to this
02:01:16
show. That's up to him.
02:01:18
I'm not asking, man. He literally.
02:01:20
Starts school the. Week before.
02:01:22
It. So it's gonna be a little
02:01:23
challenging. Yeah, Up to you.
02:01:26
Like I, I. Because the only reason I I
02:01:28
asked that is because Sonic the Hedgehog and he's a big Sonic
02:01:32
fan, so yeah. Yeah.
02:01:33
But which would make him want to?
02:01:35
Go even more so, but then again if he does, you guys have to
02:01:39
babysit. Maybe he tends to be indifferent
02:01:42
to. People like, he's been around it
02:01:43
so much, yeah, it's like nothing to him here.
02:01:46
I like. Now one of the game response he
02:01:49
he was just. Like chilling.
02:01:50
And then he went over to the color thing, colored friggin Amy
02:01:53
and Big the cat and even gave him the voice actors then walked
02:01:57
over like there you go and gave him like his coloring of their
02:02:00
character is like, all right and just walks off.
02:02:03
Yeah, it's, I mean, he is the Bruce.
02:02:06
He is the Bruce. Tater saying fray.
02:02:09
That's an excuse for you to come out to meet Skippy.
02:02:11
I don't know where everything's gonna be at that time.
02:02:14
So I'm gonna have to wait. I have to wait, guys.
02:02:18
