Episode Summary
This week, the squad doubles down on pure, unfiltered NERDcellence. From Marvel's ever-expanding chaos (and Mark Ruffalo casually leaking secrets again 😅) to DC swinging for the fences with a full-on horror Clayface movie, this episode is stacked. We break down Kingpin's political downfall, Spider-Noir's stylish black-and-white gamble, and why losing Happy Hogan might hit harder than expected.
Meanwhile, DC is rewriting the playbook with genre-bending storytelling, The Boys universe is tightening its endgame, and somehow… we still find time to debate fonts, wrestling heel turns, and why honeybees might secretly be the most interesting thing on Earth.
If that's not commitment to NERDcellence, what is?

00:05:02
for the download. Let's let's do this.
00:05:04
Starting off the round of all the news.
00:05:08
Let's talk Marvel guys. It's straight from Jay Jonah.
00:05:12
All right, so this is my segment.
00:05:16
Wilson is not doing well at the polls.
00:05:18
Daredevil Season 2 is Daredevil Born Again Season 2, I should
00:05:22
say, is approaching the finale, even with production on Season 3
00:05:25
already rolling. The latest images are really
00:05:27
shared by Getty Images and circulated by The Daredevil
00:05:30
Shots account shows Kingpin walking the streets of New York
00:05:33
in a way we haven't seen before. Gone is the polished political
00:05:36
powerhouse image. Instead, Fisk is rocking a full
00:05:39
beard, a heavy coach and a red beanie.
00:05:42
So yeah. So the photos also play some New
00:05:44
York campaign ads for Sheila Rivera, which is adding another
00:05:48
layer to the shifting power dynamic in New York City.
00:05:52
And between the trajectory of Season 2 and the hints dropped
00:05:54
in the upcoming Spider Man Brand New day, it looks like the era
00:05:58
of Mayor Fisk is coming to an end.
00:06:01
So what are they? You know, I I was just re
00:06:04
watching the was it the spider man brand new day like shots and
00:06:08
and there was a shot with spider man and Sheila Rivera like he
00:06:13
was she was giving him the key to the city type thing.
00:06:17
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's all lining up
00:06:20
chronologically. Yeah, Fisk is out, Rivera's in.
00:06:25
And I mean, it seems like there's probably going to be
00:06:27
some stuff that some fallout from the end of Born Again
00:06:30
season, season 2. Obviously we haven't gotten to
00:06:33
the end of that. But I mean, like, you know,
00:06:35
we're kind of seeing those Easter eggs starting to pop up a
00:06:37
little bit and, you know, we'll see what's going on by the end
00:06:40
of Born Again in Season 2. We're getting to the to the to
00:06:45
the nitty gritty. We're getting close.
00:06:48
Exactly. Cool.
00:06:49
All right, so, yeah, so Daredevil Born Again Season 3 is
00:06:53
shaping up to take the story in a very different direction.
00:06:56
Yeah. All right, so Speaking of New
00:06:58
York, some Spider Noir details are making things very black and
00:07:03
white. The new trailer for Spider and
00:07:05
War dropped. Producers Phil Ward and Chris
00:07:08
Miller are steering this one in a very different direction.
00:07:11
Speaking about the origins of the series, Miller explains that
00:07:13
this project goes all the way back to their work on in the
00:07:16
Spider verse. So, yeah, so we we do have a
00:07:19
quote here. Actually, we have a couple
00:07:21
quotes. The origin story now the origin
00:07:24
story was this was a character that we developed in the first
00:07:27
spider verse movie. We had an amazing time working
00:07:29
with Nick Cage, Miller, Troll, Deadline and then the idea of us
00:07:32
making a live action spider show came up.
00:07:35
This was the first idea we had. And because it felt like it was
00:07:38
a contained universe, it was its own thing, as Miller put it,
00:07:43
they quote, didn't want to do something that's part of a giant
00:07:46
web of interconnected series, just its own little jewel of a
00:07:49
story. It's a big jewel by little.
00:07:51
I mean, it's an enormous jewel. It's the hope diamond of
00:07:53
television. And Miller also said one of the
00:07:57
things that you don't think about with Noor is you're like,
00:08:00
it's super serious. But Burgart always had a twinkle
00:08:03
in his eye, and he was clever. And he and Bug Bunny have more
00:08:07
informing than you think. So.
00:08:09
Yeah. So what do we, what do we think
00:08:11
here? You guys see the trailer?
00:08:13
Do you think about that? Oh yeah, I I watched this
00:08:16
trailer. It looked super good.
00:08:18
I'm excited for this show. And I was thinking about like,
00:08:20
am I going to watch this in black and white or am I going to
00:08:23
watch it? Yeah, I was.
00:08:24
I was kind of skeptical. I was like, huh, this is going
00:08:26
to. I watch trailer.
00:08:27
I'm like, oh, this is good, I'm in, let's do this.
00:08:30
I'm good like I was, yeah. I think I'm going to want them
00:08:33
in color. I'm, I'm definitely doing both.
00:08:36
I'm probably going to watch it in black and white first just to
00:08:38
kind of get that, that, that, you know, there's a reason
00:08:42
they're doing it in black and white.
00:08:44
Right. It's like Werewolf by Night
00:08:45
that. Same, right, right, right.
00:08:47
So it's kind of like I'm probably going to watch the the
00:08:49
show twice, which is probably their intention.
00:08:51
That's probably what they want people to do so they can get
00:08:53
double numbers, right. But I'm going to watch it in
00:08:55
black and white 1st and then once I watch it in black and
00:08:57
white, then, you know, I'll go and watch it colorized and kind
00:09:00
of see, you know, what the some of the intentions were.
00:09:04
If they're able to, if they're able to.
00:09:08
Yeah. So sometimes you put intention
00:09:12
in color and when you put it in black and white, there's like an
00:09:17
added layer to it 'cause it's like, OK, we purposely did this
00:09:21
color so it showed up in black and white this way.
00:09:25
And. And I want to see if they do
00:09:27
that, you know, they kind of do that kind of like like kind of
00:09:31
expert level film making, you know what I mean?
00:09:33
Especially with something that's that's noir like that, It's
00:09:37
it'll be interesting. I'm definitely going to watch
00:09:38
both versions of it just to just to kind of get if there's a
00:09:42
different feeling between the two.
00:09:44
I think there is going to be a different feeling.
00:09:46
I'm going to go color because I saw the clips with Electro and
00:09:51
he looked good in color in in black and white.
00:09:54
It looked like, OK, I get it, it's Electro.
00:09:56
But in the way the special effects looked in color, I'm in.
00:10:01
I'm in for color. You know, it looks really fun
00:10:04
like it, it's, it looks ridiculous.
00:10:06
And I'm, I'm, I'm in so I, I'm, I'm looking forward to do it.
00:10:11
So yeah. So, oh, I have to try to do a
00:10:13
mob force. OK.
00:10:15
All episodes of Spider or Prime Video on May 27th.
00:10:19
Oh, that is that that was, that was.
00:10:22
Yeah. Yeah, that's, that's what we're
00:10:26
looking for. We're looking for like that,
00:10:27
that yeah, saying yeah, Spider Man.
00:10:30
Spider Noir hit Prime Video on May 27th.
00:10:34
Yeah, sure. Anyway, we're moving on.
00:10:38
Speaking of Spider Man, in some not so happy news, Jon Favreau,
00:10:43
who's been a part of Spider the Spider Man corner of the MCU
00:10:46
since Spider Man Homecoming, has made it clear that he isn't
00:10:49
suiting up for another round with Tom Holland's web Slinger
00:10:52
quote. I can give you a big spoiler.
00:10:54
I'm not in it. He lost his memory, the film
00:10:56
maker stated. I'm not a part of it.
00:10:58
He doesn't Remember Me anymore. He might meet me again someday.
00:11:01
I don't know. And yeah, so he's not in for a
00:11:05
new day. What do we think?
00:11:07
I I didn't even think about this, but like, that's such a
00:11:10
casualty that we're not going to have that Peter and happy
00:11:15
dynamic anymore. Oh, that's sad.
00:11:18
It is, it is a massive casualty to know that you're not going to
00:11:22
have that kind of like I, I, I, I love Happy Hogan being like,
00:11:29
you know, hey, yeah, I'm the man.
00:11:30
And it's like, well, you're not the man.
00:11:31
Well, I'm, I'm, I'm the next man.
00:11:33
I'm the next guy, that guy he like, I, I love him doing that
00:11:38
kind of thing. And we're not going to be
00:11:40
getting any of that, you know, but not to say that we won't get
00:11:44
Happy Hogan in other places. We just won't see the Spider Man
00:11:46
Happy Hogan dynamic, you know what I mean?
00:11:49
Right. Exactly.
00:11:49
Yeah. So yeah, that's, you know, I
00:11:53
mean, this is a little, you know, sad, sort of happy.
00:11:57
It's a little sad, but yeah, I'm going to move a little sad.
00:12:01
Happy Spider Man. Brand New Day swings into
00:12:04
theaters on July 31st of 2026, and we're going to stay on
00:12:09
Spider Man for a little bit. He's certainly ruffaloing some
00:12:12
Sony feathers with us. Oh God, Marvel what?
00:12:15
Said Oh God. Marvel fans are once again side
00:12:19
eyeing Mark Ruffalo after the actor dropped a comment that may
00:12:22
have revealed more than he intended about the future of
00:12:25
Spiderman and the MCU. Because of course he did.
00:12:27
Because it's. More level slip.
00:12:29
Yeah, exactly. The latest slip has people
00:12:31
convinced something big is coming.
00:12:33
Or rather, something a little gooey is coming.
00:12:36
During a recent Q&A at Italy's Ministry of Education and Merit,
00:12:40
Ruffalo casually said that something as casually said
00:12:43
something that immediately caught fans attention.
00:12:46
Quote, I can promise you 1000% that Spider Man will be finding
00:12:49
an alien in the future. So that's vague enough, But that
00:12:52
was all it took. No name drops, no specifics,
00:12:54
just one word that is sent the fandom spiraling into theory
00:12:58
mode. Naturally, first suspect is
00:13:01
Venom, the iconic symbiote who's been circling the MCU for a
00:13:04
while now, and it wouldn't take much to bring them fully into
00:13:07
the mix. The dangling thread lines up
00:13:10
perfectly with one of Spider Man's most famous comic arcs,
00:13:13
the original 1984 Secret Wars storyline.
00:13:16
Spider Man acquires the black suit for the first time, which
00:13:18
is eventually revealed to be an alien symbiote.
00:13:22
And of course, with Marvel Studios building towards Avenger
00:13:25
Secret Wars and pulling inspiration from both the 1984
00:13:29
and 2015 version of the story, the timing feels almost too
00:13:33
perfect. I, I kind of was hoping that
00:13:36
this is going to be one of the storylines we were going to get.
00:13:39
I was hoping that Spider man in Secret Wars was going to get I,
00:13:43
I, I like he was going to get the black suit.
00:13:46
I halfway wanted to be the same way as in the comics, but I
00:13:50
don't because like the way in the comics was such a just kind
00:13:54
of crappy reveal. Like he walks up to A to, to a
00:13:57
machine, presses a button, no capsule comes out.
00:14:00
And he, he opens the capsule and all of a sudden his suit's
00:14:02
black. And it's like, oh, and, and the
00:14:04
whole point of that was that when the Secret Wars was the,
00:14:08
the, the original sweet Secret Wars comic book line was an
00:14:12
attempt to sell toys. So they were like, Hey, we want
00:14:15
to give Spider man a new costume.
00:14:17
How do we give him this new costume?
00:14:19
Hey, we'll just press a button and he gets a black suit.
00:14:21
Cool. Now he's got the black suit,
00:14:22
right. And what they like, Marvel had
00:14:26
to go back and say, now we need to explain this black suit.
00:14:30
And that's how Todd McFarlane came up with Venom was.
00:14:33
OK, we're going to instead of it being just a black suit, it's
00:14:36
going to be alive and it's going to be a living being.
00:14:39
And it gets into a basically into an argument with Spider Man
00:14:43
and decides to go and be attach itself to Flash Thompson and
00:14:47
becomes, no, not Flash Thompson, sorry, Eddie Brock.
00:14:51
Yeah, it connects itself to Eddie Brock because the Flash
00:14:54
Thompson is the second Venom to Eddie Brock and the anger
00:15:00
between Eddie Brock and the anger between the symbiote
00:15:03
combined to create Venom. So Venom, Venom is not the name
00:15:07
of the symbiote that would like they try to do in the movies.
00:15:09
Venom is the is the amalgamation of the pure hatred that Eddie
00:15:15
Brock has for Peter Parker and the hate that the symbiote has
00:15:19
for Spider Man. And being that they're the same
00:15:21
person, they kind of team up together and they're like, oh,
00:15:25
it's the same guy. I hate him even more.
00:15:28
Yeah, we we hate him. We hate him, even.
00:15:31
More and yeah, Venom. Venom is is a combination of two
00:15:35
different characters coming together to fight Spider Man.
00:15:40
You know, it seems like they they are doing the Hickman
00:15:43
version of Doomsday Secret Wars and all that.
00:15:48
Yeah, if this is the one thing that they bring over is the
00:15:52
Venom suit or the symbiote, I'm OK with that.
00:15:56
I think it'll be fun to to be like, all right, let's just
00:15:59
throw everything out there and just see what happens.
00:16:01
Why? Why not Symbia?
00:16:03
Why not, you know, Venom? And see if and see if the black
00:16:06
goose sticks to the wall. See.
00:16:09
What he did there? See what he did there?
00:16:11
Yeah. That's what we call commitment
00:16:14
to nerd silence. Oh my God, that might be the
00:16:18
name of the episode right there. Commitment to nerd silence.
00:16:24
All right, so yes, so again, Spider Man brand new Day spring
00:16:28
into theaters July 31st, 2036 already said that yeah.
00:16:31
So that is all for our model news.
00:16:37
So let's teleport over to some DC news.
00:16:41
It is time for. Give me a second, sorry, I'm
00:16:45
writing something down. Are you like writing it down
00:16:51
like on paper or you? Typing it?
00:16:53
No, I was typing it but I can only one hand type and.
00:16:55
Now I don't know. Where you guys went?
00:16:59
Like your screen? Where the hell did it go?
00:17:01
I'm still here. No, it's.
00:17:03
Not technical difficulties. Please stand by.
00:17:04
It has nothing to do with you guys.
00:17:06
I, I literally somehow there it is.
00:17:08
OK. I I lost the tab and I was like,
00:17:10
I don't know where you guys went.
00:17:12
OK, I'm back. Good.
00:17:15
Boom. OK.
00:17:16
OK, yeah. And it's time for There we go.
00:17:20
Watching the Watchtower, this is going to be great on the audio
00:17:26
episode. All right, so that's a lawyer.
00:17:30
Absolutely. So the one ring to rule.
00:17:35
Wait, hold on. Wrong franchise, wrong ring.
00:17:38
Yeah. Anyways, DC Studios and HBO have
00:17:41
released a new poster for Lanterns.
00:17:44
And before I do that, let me do that, OK?
00:17:47
And this one, and this one actually leans into the green.
00:17:51
The early Lanterns trailer caught some heat for feeling a
00:17:54
little too stripped down. Visually.
00:17:57
This new poster seems like a direct response to that.
00:18:00
The color is there, even if it's more subdued than the neon glow
00:18:04
some expected. The poster tagline was only one
00:18:07
can wear the ring. I thought that was interesting.
00:18:12
Yeah, it is very interesting. Now it seems like what they're
00:18:16
doing is leaning into more of kind of the, the, the, the
00:18:22
original thought process of the of the lanterns is that yeah,
00:18:25
there's backups, but the idea is per sector only.
00:18:30
There's only one designated Lantern at a time.
00:18:32
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you'll have backups, right.
00:18:35
So the idea is like, OK, so Jon Stewart obviously is going to be
00:18:40
the the the main Lantern is where you're going with this,
00:18:43
But it's a pass. This this show seems like it's
00:18:45
going to be a passing of the guard, right?
00:18:49
It's how Jordan teaching Jon Stewart the ropes and Jon
00:18:53
Stewart is going to be the new. I know a lot of people start
00:18:56
asking well where does? Guy Gardner, Yeah, I think of
00:19:01
the same. Thing Guy Gardner's the backup.
00:19:03
Guy Gardner is if, how? Jordan very clearly the backup.
00:19:06
Yeah, Guy Gardner is if how Jordan can't perform his duties,
00:19:10
Guy Gardner takes steps in. Yeah.
00:19:13
Right. Which is hilarious with Guy
00:19:15
Gardner, but you know. Yeah, considering Guy Gardner is
00:19:18
an actual cop and then he becomes a space cop and they're
00:19:22
still like, yeah, no, you're the backup.
00:19:23
You're, you're the bench warmer, right?
00:19:26
Right. And Jon Stewart is the main
00:19:29
Green Lantern again, there are multiple green lanterns across
00:19:33
there's, there's probably about 7 human green lanterns at this
00:19:35
point. But like Jon Stewart gets
00:19:39
replaced by Kyle Rayner, Kyle Rayner gets gets replaced by
00:19:47
Jessica Cruz, Jessica Cruz gets replaced by, by Simon Bass, you
00:19:52
know, and, and it keeps going down the line, right?
00:19:54
So I mean, like, it's it, it's, it's it's basically when they
00:20:00
say that I think they're going to lean into, you know, there
00:20:03
being 1 Lantern in the designated sector and then
00:20:06
backups to that, to that character.
00:20:08
How Jordan when he gives up the ring, he doesn't stop being a
00:20:12
Lancer and he just goes and becomes a legacy Lantern.
00:20:14
So he he goes more he he, he kind of starts working towards
00:20:21
honor guard in the comics. I mean, he this is where he
00:20:24
starts becoming parallax. But I mean like.
00:20:26
You know that this this would be, he would go into honor guard
00:20:29
and he would be more of like a galactic cop.
00:20:32
So he'd be more like FBI rather than being just a local cop.
00:20:36
Yeah. Instead of controlling one SEC,
00:20:39
he would kind of control all of it, yeah.
00:20:42
Right. He he patrols the entire Galaxy,
00:20:44
right? Yeah.
00:20:46
You know, I'm I'm interested to see what happens with this show.
00:20:49
Like, I get that it's it's stripped down and we didn't see
00:20:52
a lot of Green Lantern stuff happening in in the trailer that
00:20:57
we got or the footage we got. I can't, I'm I'm OK with that.
00:21:00
I kind of just want to see where it goes.
00:21:01
And I think they're holding everything back for like the
00:21:04
reveal in the show. I think that will.
00:21:08
I think that'll be more impactful than like, hey, let's
00:21:11
show all the Green Lanterns, you know, flying around right now in
00:21:15
a, in a. Yeah, no, I mean, I, you know,
00:21:18
this is, this is the show I've been most excited for.
00:21:20
Obviously I'm a big fan of Greenland and this kind of kind
00:21:22
of how I got into a lot of nerdy stuff.
00:21:25
So yeah, I'm really interested in how they do this.
00:21:28
I think the idea of doing kind of a is kind of a cop show.
00:21:32
It's kind of a True Detective thing is, is really interesting
00:21:35
and does fit the vibe of what the lanterns are supposed to be.
00:21:40
So yeah, I'm, I'm really curious.
00:21:42
I, I, I'm I'm interested where they go with this.
00:21:46
Absolutely. So let's go ahead and and move
00:21:49
on. We're sticking within within all
00:21:51
this DC stuff that's going on. Oh, I'm sorry.
00:21:53
Lanterns is set to premiere on HBO this August.
00:21:56
So we don't have an exact date on it, but it will be coming up
00:21:59
in August. We know the time frame.
00:22:01
I mean, that's coming up sooner than you think.
00:22:04
We were just talking about this last week.
00:22:05
There's so much dropping, like starting like right now, that
00:22:10
you know, between now and August we won't even think about it
00:22:12
because there's going to be so much else coming out.
00:22:15
Yeah. Right, exactly One thing that we
00:22:19
know is not going to be coming out anymore.
00:22:20
DC's Authority on DC's authority.
00:22:23
When DC Studios unveiled it's ambitious new slate back in
00:22:27
2023, one of the more unexpected titles on the list was The
00:22:30
authority. A lot of people didn't know what
00:22:32
the authority was and didn't know what what direction James
00:22:36
Gunn was going to go into that the anti hero team known for
00:22:39
their ruthless and justify the means philosophy.
00:22:44
So. So now the filmmaker in DC
00:22:46
Studios Co CEO has finally clarified what happened and why
00:22:49
the project has been put on ice. Originally introduced in 1999 by
00:22:53
Warren Ellis and Brian Brian Hitch under DC's Wild Storm
00:22:57
imprint, the Authority built its reputation on pushing superhero
00:23:01
storytelling into a moral Gray area.
00:23:04
Gun addressed both the rumors and the project's current
00:23:07
status, saying the script wasn't quite there.
00:23:10
But more importantly, it didn't work in terms of the larger DCU,
00:23:14
both in terms of the story and the practical, practical
00:23:17
concerns. Maybe someday, just not soon.
00:23:21
So this isn't a permanent goodbye to the project, but it
00:23:24
also isn't something DC Studios is circling back to anytime
00:23:27
soon. What do you guys think of this?
00:23:29
I was hoping we would. I was interested in this mainly
00:23:33
because, you know, we're so used to seeing the DCU and, and what
00:23:37
we know is traditional DC, but bringing in the Wild Storm stuff
00:23:43
would be kind of interesting and, and like a new spin,
00:23:45
something fresh. And, you know, Wild Storm tended
00:23:48
to skew a little bit older in demographic.
00:23:51
So like what he said, they're like the morally Gray territory.
00:23:55
Yeah, that's, that's Wild Storm, you know, so that would be
00:24:00
interesting to see. But that sucks that we're we're
00:24:02
not going to get it right away. Yeah, it's, you know, I, I was
00:24:06
always curious about. Yeah, again, I didn't know about
00:24:08
the authority until until then. And I'm like, this is really
00:24:10
interesting. This could be, this is A and
00:24:13
kind of an interesting concept, a fun idea.
00:24:15
It kind of was the origin of a lot of the what we're seeing now
00:24:19
with kind of the more mature or, or yeah, more of the great takes
00:24:23
like like the boys, like Invincible, like yeah, exactly
00:24:28
where, you know, it was kind of the origin point of of a lot of
00:24:32
that. And so it would have been really
00:24:34
interesting. Are we obviously we got the
00:24:35
engineer in Superman. She's part of the authority I
00:24:39
was going to bring. This up I was going to say
00:24:40
because like between that and and having Ultraman, it was kind
00:24:44
of like, OK, so we're getting introduced to a lot of authority
00:24:48
characters, but I mean, it seems like, you know, at this point
00:24:53
now it's just another way to just have characters that exist
00:24:56
within the world. Yeah.
00:24:57
And that's, that's interesting. Yeah.
00:24:58
I, I hope this gets followed up at some point because I don't
00:25:00
get a really fascinating concept and a really interesting, some
00:25:04
really interesting story possibilities there.
00:25:05
But you know you didn't. You didn't see much of the wild
00:25:10
storm stuff crossing over, you know, into into DC.
00:25:15
They kind of kept it separate, which kind of it's kind of a
00:25:18
bummer. I would like to like I think the
00:25:19
only thing that ever crossed over just thinking off the top
00:25:22
of my head would be like grifter.
00:25:24
Grifter would was like the one character that crossed over into
00:25:27
like main DC stuff. Yeah, I mean, like I could see
00:25:31
if we get like a President Lex Luthor storyline at some point,
00:25:35
which seems to be coming, that the chaos after that, after all
00:25:41
that happens, we could get like a Superman versus the Authority
00:25:44
where we get that whole thing where they tried to take over
00:25:46
the world or whatever. It could have been really
00:25:50
interesting. But yeah, we'll, we'll, we'll
00:25:51
see. So I mean, I'm glad it's not
00:25:53
completely off the table, but I'm a little disappointed that
00:25:55
it's not coming as doing a good. Job I understand it's like, you
00:25:58
know the the the story has like the overall overarching story
00:26:01
has changed given some of where some of the stories have gone
00:26:06
probably where some of the script writing is gone and
00:26:08
they're just kind of like, you know what I think this is going
00:26:11
to move in a different direction and the authority just doesn't
00:26:13
fit in that kind of direction that we're.
00:26:15
Moving, and that's fair enough. I would rather prioritize, you
00:26:18
know, telling good stories over including fan service and
00:26:24
characters and all that. So.
00:26:26
Right. Yeah.
00:26:27
Oh my boy, Gotham guy Wildcats Storm watch was my was my
00:26:32
favorite image comic from Wild Storm.
00:26:34
Absolutely, man, loved it. Yeah, it's really good.
00:26:38
So moving into a territory that I'm extremely excited for.
00:26:44
I think in our group chat we were talking nonstop about this
00:26:48
trailer. So I'm I'm very excited for the
00:26:51
news that we're going to talk about next year.
00:26:53
But before we do that, until we find out more about the
00:26:57
authority and everything like that.
00:26:58
Supergirl flies in the theaters June 26th.
00:27:01
That. We can be excited for that,
00:27:03
super excited for that. Two months away.
00:27:06
Jeez. Far away, man.
00:27:08
So again, very excited about this.
00:27:11
Do you want to play a game? No.
00:27:16
OK, so let's just wipe your face away.
00:27:18
Then it turns out that the upcoming Clayface movie isn't
00:27:23
just another DC side quest story and.
00:27:26
And that makes this whole thing all the more exciting.
00:27:32
James Gunn is given an updated timeline.
00:27:34
Gunn revealed the update in response to a fan question
00:27:37
asking if the movie takes place before or after Superman, and
00:27:41
Gunn responded saying before it's the first DCU film out out
00:27:46
of chronological order. It makes me so happy.
00:27:50
Gun has already made it clear this isn't a superhero movie
00:27:53
with scary elements sprinkled in.
00:27:55
It's a legit horror film set inside the DCU.
00:27:59
Interesting. I love it.
00:28:00
I I saw the trailer. It looks awesome.
00:28:03
Yeah. It looks just crazy.
00:28:07
Yeah. This is, this is genre bending
00:28:09
at its finest, 'cause here's the thing, Marvel's tried to, tried
00:28:14
to put their hand in this for a while, right?
00:28:16
And it's and it's always been a superhero movie that has an
00:28:20
element of something else. Like Multiverse of Madness or
00:28:23
well. Multiverse of Madness was meant
00:28:25
to be a superhero movie that had horror elements, right?
00:28:28
It's meant to be kind of like more of a horror take, and it
00:28:31
had some horror elements in it, but it wasn't full on horror,
00:28:34
right? Some of the early Marvel movies
00:28:38
were 100% like, you know different genres right?
00:28:42
Like you had. Tragic.
00:28:42
Yeah, that was another point. Right.
00:28:45
DC is taking that and taking it a step further.
00:28:48
They are making a full on horror movie and then making it fit
00:28:53
within DC. Yeah, and that is going to make
00:28:56
this whole thing that much more lived in, right.
00:29:00
The other thing that made me excited about that same
00:29:02
interview was when they asked them what storyline in the
00:29:07
comics Clayface was going to be based on.
00:29:09
They said none. And they and most people, you
00:29:12
know, like you know, most people would cringe and go, what do you
00:29:15
mean none? You like you're going to base it
00:29:18
off of nothing. He goes, no, I base it off the
00:29:19
animated series. That made me so excited.
00:29:23
He based it off the two-story arc from the animated series,
00:29:26
which again, the animated series, Paul Deeney, in the way
00:29:30
that he wrote that show, it was so masterful, nothing but
00:29:34
masterpiece. He recreated 2 face, he
00:29:37
recreated Heart of Ice, Mr. Freeze, Mr. Freeze, Mr. Freeze's
00:29:46
story arc was, was changed in a way that made him such a tragic
00:29:51
character that you felt so bad for right.
00:29:54
And then now they're taking Clayface and they're taking the
00:29:58
story about Clayface again, another really tragic story
00:30:02
because they're really good at writing tragedies and and basing
00:30:06
the entire movie on that. I'm 100% in I am, I am not like
00:30:11
I there is, there is no between how good the trailer looks,
00:30:17
knowing what they're basing it off of.
00:30:19
I I, I have no notes basically is what I'm going to say no
00:30:23
notes. I'm very excited about this.
00:30:27
And, and if we get to a point where by the end of the movie,
00:30:30
Matt Hagen is, is, is that much more of a leaning into the fact
00:30:37
that he's a monster, right? Because by the time Matt Hagen
00:30:42
becomes the clay face that he is, he just nonchalantly just,
00:30:47
you know, does what he wants and everything like that.
00:30:49
And we know Clayface already exists because he's a creature
00:30:52
Commandos. I was gonna say that by the way,
00:30:55
voiced by Alan Tudick. Voiced by Alan Tudick, because
00:30:57
Alan Tudick plays everything in in but.
00:31:00
This kind of goes to what we were talking about.
00:31:02
Was it last week or the week before where it was like
00:31:04
everything in DCU has been in chronological order so far.
00:31:08
So this is the first one that's outside of that chronological
00:31:13
order of projects. And I'm interested to see if
00:31:17
this does really well, if they're going to continue doing
00:31:21
more Clayface. And maybe I don't want to say
00:31:25
retcon, but maybe retcon what happening creature commandos and
00:31:29
find a way to bring Clayface back into the main storylines.
00:31:33
Well, I, I don't you got to remember, like even with the way
00:31:36
that they kind of like X out Clayface in creature commandos,
00:31:39
you can't truly kill Clayface. If Clayface has even like, you
00:31:44
know, like a speck of himself that survives, he can regenerate
00:31:48
from that entire thing. Like Clayface is is is.
00:31:51
He's he, He's a scary character. He's kind.
00:31:54
Of like a symbiote, kind of like Venom.
00:31:56
He almost kind of is like, because, because he can come
00:31:59
back from, from a lot, you know, Matt Hagen is, you know, he, he,
00:32:04
he is truly a scary character in what he's able to do and the
00:32:10
things that he does on a regular basis.
00:32:11
So I again, I even though they kind of like, you know, messed
00:32:15
his ass up in creature commandos, you you can't really
00:32:20
like keep Matt Hagen down like that.
00:32:22
He he will come back. I hope so, that'll be fun.
00:32:25
It's also really easy to write him back into a story.
00:32:28
Yeah. When does it come out?
00:32:31
So the date that we've got on this clay face will ooze its way
00:32:35
into theaters October 23rd, 2026, just in time for
00:32:40
Halloween. As it should be.
00:32:44
So, so happy with all this. So yes, ladies and gentlemen,
00:32:48
before I get even more excited with everything that's going on
00:32:51
in DC and all of that, that is the end of watching the
00:32:57
Watchtower. Which means ladies and
00:32:59

00:33:56
Facebook. Let us know what you're nerding
00:33:57
out on. First one is The Mummy is on the
00:34:02
move. The upcoming fourth film in the
00:34:04
franchise has shifted its release date.
00:34:08
The old May release window isn't going unused, though.
00:34:11
It's now set to be taken over by Miami Vice 85 What, starring
00:34:18
Michael B Jordan and Austin Butler.
00:34:20
I forgot that was. I forgot that was a thing.
00:34:23
Yeah, so the 4th installment of The Mummy will rise from the
00:34:27
crypt October 15th, 2027, and the new Miami Vice 85 is sliding
00:34:35
into theaters May 19th, 2028. That means they're ahead of
00:34:39
schedule on The Mummy. And I'm, I'm very excited for
00:34:43
that because I'm excited to see what they're going to do with
00:34:44
this. Which is interesting because we
00:34:46
got the announcements not that long ago, maybe like 2 months
00:34:49
ago, so they must have been working on this for a while now,
00:34:53
yeah. Yeah, I I mean, have they done
00:34:55
principal for this already? Apparently.
00:34:59
I'm just, that makes me curious because I know, I know they've
00:35:03
all been make like, making like appearances and whatnot.
00:35:05
And you know, they, they all look pretty good, man.
00:35:09
Like if you look at like the way that they, they've been looking
00:35:11
lately. But I mean, yeah, I I didn't
00:35:15
realize they had already gone through principal photography on
00:35:17
this. Yeah, yeah, apparently.
00:35:19
Moving forward. All right, next one.
00:35:23
Welcome to the jungle. We got fun and games, say
00:35:30
Hopper. We've.
00:35:31
Never did that again, James. Sorry.
00:35:34
Lionsgate upcoming Rambo prequel just added some serious grit to
00:35:38
its lineup. David Harbour Hopper from Ginger
00:35:41
Things has officially signed on to John Rambo.
00:35:45
The movie's called John Rambo stepping into the role of Major
00:35:48
Troutman, the commanding officer who shapes the future war
00:35:52
machine, played by Noah Centineo.
00:35:56
Production is already underway in Bangkok, Thailand, with
00:35:59
Lionsgate set to handle distribution.
00:36:02
No official release date when we will be returning to the jungle.
00:36:09
We got funny games. Oh, sorry, you said not to do
00:36:15
that again. My.
00:36:16
Bad. Well, we are the nerds that can
00:36:17
find whatever you may need. Dopad.
00:36:22
Dopad. If I had a chance, I'd go back
00:36:24
in time because. It really pisses me off to no
00:36:27
end. It's going back in time.
00:36:30
Fans of It, Welcome to Terry know the series is digging deep
00:36:35
into Stephen King's original novel and pulling out the stuff
00:36:38
that has never been adapted before now.
00:36:41
Creator, director and executive producer Andy Muscchietti is
00:36:46
open is opening the door to what's coming next, and it
00:36:51
sounds like Season 2 is going to take things in a grim,
00:36:55
unexpected direction. Interesting.
00:36:58
Muscati confirmed that the follow up will jump back in time
00:37:01
to the 1930s and center on a lesser known but brutal subplot
00:37:07
from King's book. No set date when we will be
00:37:10
returning to Derry. You know anything about that
00:37:13
one? I'm I'm trying to remember what
00:37:16
it is. I think.
00:37:17
I think this one was the I'm I'm trying to remember which which
00:37:22
event it is. This I think the next one is the
00:37:24
sawmill. 1930 See, there's a clown running around on the
00:37:28
balloon. Yeah.
00:37:30
But I mean, so, so there's, there's a whole bunch of stories
00:37:33
that happened within dairy itself, right?
00:37:37
I mean, you got to remember a lot of his stories centered
00:37:39
around dairy. And they're basically what
00:37:43
they're saying is that he has been there during a lot of these
00:37:49
events, these major events that have happened within dairy.
00:37:53
And again, they're tying everything together.
00:37:56
They're they're really doing what what the other show on Hulu
00:38:02
was trying to do for the longest time.
00:38:03
I don't remember which one it was the name of it, but yeah.
00:38:08
So like, like there, there, there was another Stephen Castle
00:38:12
Rock. Castle Rock.
00:38:14
Yeah, there you go. They they, they, they're really
00:38:16
doing well what Castle Rock was trying to do, but doing it in a
00:38:20
way that kind of ties everything in even like more together.
00:38:24
Yeah. It gets me excited in all this.
00:38:26
I I really. Now the real question.
00:38:28
Sorry, go. No, I was just saying I really
00:38:30
liked season 1. Yeah.
00:38:32
Now the real question is, will Nick Cage be in this?
00:38:35
Probably not. Probably not.
00:38:38
We'll see. We'll see.
00:38:40
All right, moving on. Looks like Transformers may have
00:38:45
a flat tire. Director Steven Capel Junior,
00:38:53
who brought us the Transformers Rise of the Beasts, shed some
00:38:56
light on whether things where things stand with Transformers
00:39:00
GI Joe crossover. I forgot we were going to do
00:39:03
that too. He said it.
00:39:05
It's next in line. I am not part of the next
00:39:07
Transformers film, but it's still in development and there's
00:39:10
still time. You just never know.
00:39:13
So there's no confirmed released window, no confirmed production
00:39:18
timeline, and no capable junior attached to the next film.
00:39:22
That leaves the Transformers J Joe crossover with their wheels
00:39:27
spinning. Womp womp.
00:39:30
Given how bad the GI Joe movies have been, because, I mean, we
00:39:36
have friends that have worked on the GI Joe films and they're
00:39:39
just like, yeah, no, they're not good.
00:39:42
First off, how dare you? Secondly, you're right.
00:39:47
I was going to say it's our mutual friends.
00:39:49
I mean, but you like we know people who who have worked on
00:39:52
those on a couple of films and we're like, yeah, no, don't go
00:39:55
watch that movie. And, and like the GI Joe movies
00:39:59
have not done a good job of adapting GI Joe.
00:40:04
They're not like really making they're they're kind of making a
00:40:08
farce out of out of Cobra. And GI Joe is just kind of like,
00:40:12
you know, instead of being really good soldiers, they're
00:40:15
like leaning in on, oh, well, they're future soldiers and
00:40:18
stuff like that. Like dude, make make war movies.
00:40:21
Make war movies with with compelling characters.
00:40:25
And if you make like so there's a there, there was a cartoon
00:40:28
called GI Joe Resolute that was a update on GI Joe where Cobra
00:40:34
basically snaps out of it and becomes like what he's supposed
00:40:37
to be. He becomes like the world's most
00:40:39
deadliest terrorist. He blows up Moscow.
00:40:42
He blows up Moscow within the 1st 5 minutes of the first
00:40:45
episode. He drops a nuke on Moscow and
00:40:48
it's like he then and again, the idea is just to show that he has
00:40:53
more resolved than than than the UN right.
00:40:56
And that forces them to get GI Joe to step up and pursue him.
00:41:02
Right. And he has there's a lot of
00:41:03
references to the original show where he's just coming in going
00:41:06
like, you know, in the in in the past, I've done this will know
00:41:09
no more. You know, the the the world will
00:41:12
never take me as a joke ever again.
00:41:14
Like they made a very serious take on on the show.
00:41:18
We need something like that in live action if we're going to do
00:41:21
live action. Make Cobra a threat.
00:41:24
I agree with you, I but something else kind of pops in
00:41:28
my brain how they're handling Street Fighter and how it's it's
00:41:33
still action, but it's also like oddly retro and campy.
00:41:39
I don't know if there's something that attracts me to
00:41:41
that. So I don't I don't know if it's
00:41:44
if it's hardcore, go into it with with, you know, kind of
00:41:48
make a war story type film, or if it's lean into the retro Ness
00:41:54
of it all and and give me a Street Fighter esque type
00:41:58
version of GI Joe. I don't know.
00:42:01
I I mean, you can make it campy, like make it an 80s action
00:42:04
thrill, action thrill. You know what I mean?
00:42:07
Just when you're doing it. I mean, OK, look, look at the
00:42:09
way that Dave Dismalching is playing and Bison, right?
00:42:13
He is very much a credible threat, but he's a terrorist.
00:42:17
And the way that they're like he he's he is the way that Dave
00:42:22
described it is he's playing a character who has the gift of
00:42:26
gab. It's it's he's a character that
00:42:28
is so incredibly charismatic that you cannot help but follow
00:42:33
everything that he does. And that's what Cobra Commander
00:42:36
needs to be, right? So with that, we need good GI
00:42:41
Joe before we get crossover with Transformers.
00:42:45
Transformers is hit or miss. Like like they they've had a
00:42:48
couple of films that have like kind of righted the, the the
00:42:52
franchise. But I mean, you know, they
00:42:54
already announced that the next full Transformers film, they're
00:42:57
giving it back to Michael Bay. And it's like, I, I don't why?
00:43:01
I don't want another Michael Bay Transformers movie.
00:43:04
Yeah. Also, don't let it slip that you
00:43:08
and David Smulchin are on first name basis.
00:43:11
I, I heard you like Dave said this and then Dave said that
00:43:15
when I was hanging out with Dave.
00:43:18
OK, I get it. I.
00:43:18
Don't know what Dave for like for for like less than 5
00:43:21
minutes, man. It was, it wasn't very, it
00:43:23
wasn't AI hung out with Dave. It was a hey, we had like a
00:43:27
couple of words backstage while he was heading back to his
00:43:31
table. Get it?
00:43:32
Joe is friends with Dave. That's different.
00:43:35
Yeah, that is. That is, I'm friends.
00:43:39
I'm 1° away from from Dave Dismalchin.
00:43:42
I'm friends with a guy who is friends with Dave Dismalchin.
00:43:45
That's different. I think I think I picked up a
00:43:48
pen that Dave Dismalchin touched after he.
00:43:52
Thought so anyway. That 1°, I think that's 1°. 1°
00:43:55
anyway. All right, moving on, The
00:44:00
Precious is coming sooner than expected.
00:44:06
Now I feel like Shadeau's imitations and voices you.
00:44:10
Sound more like Igor. You sound more like Igor than.
00:44:15
You all right? Fine.
00:44:15
OK, you got to go. I was going to go with Oh, Larry
00:44:18
the Platypus. A platypus Perry the Platypus
00:44:25
the Precious The Precious has comments.
00:44:28
Sure than expected ring. The one ring, anyway.
00:44:33
Ring rings us. Rings.
00:44:35
The one rings us. OK that's that's a pretty good
00:44:39
golem should do. Yours is like Irish and golem.
00:44:42
I don't understand what's happening.
00:44:43
OK, Lord of the Rings. The Rings of Power Season 3 has
00:44:47
just landed an interesting update.
00:44:49
The next chapter could arrive much earlier than the rumored
00:44:53
2027 window. Interesting.
00:44:57
Season 3 is gearing up to shifting forward significantly
00:44:59
with both in timeline and scale. The story will jump ahead
00:45:04
several years, placing that narrative right in the middle of
00:45:07
one of Middle Earth's most pivotal conflicts.
00:45:10
A new report suggests the studio is eyeing a release sometime
00:45:16
this year. Interesting.
00:45:19
Interesting. I, I wonder if it is like the
00:45:22
War of Rohan or if it is like it the lands in the middle of
00:45:26
Rohiram or something like that. Like, yeah, if, if, if you're
00:45:30
kind of like telling events of things that happened in in, in
00:45:37
Middle Earth's past, but things that are like more that that are
00:45:42
closer to getting to like The Hobbit, you know what I mean?
00:45:47
I do like this trend of content and, and and projects coming out
00:45:53
sooner than expected. I don't know how that happens.
00:45:57
I think release dates are changing and like I bet other
00:46:01
studios and other projects that are shifting in and whatever is
00:46:04
is changing things it for others.
00:46:06
But I'm all for getting projects earlier than expected, as long
00:46:10
as it's still good, you know? As long as they're quality.
00:46:15
Again, when when it comes to that kind of thing, and I'm
00:46:18
agreeing with you on this, when it comes to this kind of thing,
00:46:20
it it definitely needs to be. They're not pushing it and
00:46:24
putting it in crunch time that it's coming out because it's
00:46:28
ready. They just happen to get things
00:46:29
done early. Yeah.
00:46:32
See, and that's what I think it is.
00:46:33
I think it's just sitting like it could just be like, hey,
00:46:35
we're gonna finish this early. You guys wanna do something with
00:46:38
it or just put it on the itself for another year?
00:46:41
I like that, you know, like a streamer like Prime is like, you
00:46:44
know what, let's put it out. Let's get it out there.
00:46:46
I. Think Amazon is also finally
00:46:48
starting to lean into, we are going to put product out there
00:46:51
and whether you like it or not, you're it's going to be out
00:46:54
there. We are telling the narrative,
00:46:56
we're going to tell that narrative, and if you don't like
00:46:58
it then you can strike it later on.
00:47:01
Yeah, Which I I like because, you know, I have this
00:47:05
conversation with my wife. She's like, hey, besides
00:47:08
Daredevil, I'm like, yeah, what's up?
00:47:09
And she's like, what else is Disney Plus putting out?
00:47:13
I'm like, yeah, well. Mall, mall, mall.
00:47:19
'S the big thing right now, I mean.
00:47:20
There's mall, but she's not interested in mall, but she's
00:47:23
like, give me, give me more what?
00:47:24
What else are they doing? I'm like, there's Spidey and his
00:47:29
friends and now there's an Iron Man version of that.
00:47:31
And I think there's going to be a new season of Bluey and she's
00:47:34
like. The Secret Life of secret life
00:47:36
of honey bees. Secret life of bees like.
00:47:40
Yeah. Me and Jackie actually watched
00:47:41
it, it was pretty good. Look.
00:47:44
At you finding time to watch bees.
00:47:47
That's good. Good for you.
00:47:49
She put it on when we were when we were, it was the night night
00:47:51
show. She put it on while we were
00:47:52
laying in bed. But it was one of those things
00:47:55
where like she would pass out and I'd just be like awake
00:47:57
watching honey bee facts. Like, I can't go to sleep.
00:48:01
This shit is too interesting. Yeah, that happens.
00:48:05
Yeah. All right.
00:48:07
All right, the dance is only just beginning.
00:48:11
HBO has dropped the latest trailer for House of the Dragon
00:48:15
season 3 and it makes one thing clear.
00:48:18
Whatever hope you had left for the peace in the realm that is
00:48:22
gone. The knee trailer dives straight
00:48:24
into the chaos as the war between the Greens and the
00:48:27
Blacks spiral further out of control.
00:48:30
Mark your calendars. Fire and Blood returns June
00:48:34
21st. See, there's another one that's
00:48:36
just. It's yeah, it's just coming out.
00:48:39
It's like, yeah, yeah, no, I'm, yeah, I'm very, very excited for
00:48:43
this. Obviously I loved, loved Nine
00:48:47
and Seven Kingdoms. It's been probably my favorite
00:48:49
Game of Thrones show so far, but House Dragon's great and I'm I'm
00:48:54
excited to get into more of the war and conflict and, and sieges
00:49:00
and all that fun stuff. So I'm I'm.
00:49:02
I love how like the trailer opens on Damon, like just
00:49:05
basically getting ready to go to war and it's like man, like he's
00:49:10
for for, for being someone that I, that I want to hate.
00:49:14
I I really want to hate Damon Targaryen, like a lot.
00:49:17
He's so. Interesting to watch.
00:49:19
He's a terrible person. Yeah, he's so interesting to
00:49:22
watch. And I think a lot of it is just
00:49:24
because Matt Smith is amazing. So it's like like Damon
00:49:27
Targaryen is is 90% of my reason for watching this show.
00:49:33
You know, I mean, obviously Ranira is is a big deal too, but
00:49:37
it's like, you know, less than Ranira, Damon Targaryen.
00:49:41
And and then of course, all the drama between Ranira and and
00:49:45
Allison Hizower, you know, all of that on there.
00:49:49
But then seeing just kind of the family lines and kind of like
00:49:53
the history of the Targaryen, that line leading to, you know,
00:49:59
eventually getting to Eris and why Eris is such a fucking crazy
00:50:02
shit bag, right? Exactly Comparison Ready for a
00:50:08
comparison? Damon is the Randy Orton of Game
00:50:13
of Thrones. He.
00:50:13
Kind of is. He's like evil.
00:50:16
You know he's going to be bad, but like, you want to like him.
00:50:19
And then he he shows signs of like being good and he's doing
00:50:23
the right thing. And you're like, yes, This is
00:50:26
why I like this guy. Yeah, and then the Rkos.
00:50:29
And then he does some other pretty thing and you're like.
00:50:32
Turns heel, yeah. He's RKO is the good guy.
00:50:35
Then you're like, well, maybe he should have.
00:50:38
Yeah, it's kind of OK. I mean, overall, I, I still
00:50:40
like, and this is, this is kind of a deviation for a second, but
00:50:46
WrestleMania should have gave him the strap.
00:50:49
They should have gave him the strap.
00:50:50
They should have gave him the strap.
00:50:52
Also, Cody kind of needed to be punt kicked.
00:50:55
That's how it goes. Get Cody in the nuts.
00:51:00
Like I said, not not anything against you know, Cody Rhodes.
00:51:04
I love Cody Rhodes and like you know, no matter what if if
00:51:07
people hate Cody Rhodes love Cody Rhodes, whatever it is, I
00:51:10
love Cody Rhodes. I also felt like because of how
00:51:15
much Randy leans face for being a heel, he's very Stone Cold
00:51:21
Steve Austin in that way where he is trying to be a heel, but
00:51:24
he's still a face no matter, no matter what, because everybody
00:51:27
loves Randy Orton. I almost felt it didn't even end
00:51:30
up happening, but I almost felt like Cody was going to go heal
00:51:34
and I was like, we need corporate Cody heal.
00:51:38
We need the version of Cody Rhodes that was the MJF heal in
00:51:45
AW that everybody loved. I love Cody as a as a face, but
00:51:49
I need heal Cody. OK, let's let's move on because
00:51:53
I will talk wrestling all day. I mean, I will, I will just say
00:51:57
this. I will understand none of what
00:51:59
you're saying. It'll be great.
00:52:01
It'll be him and Sammy finding a way to to team up to be like
00:52:06
corporate heels or something. They're going.
00:52:08
To turn as a heel has been great.
00:52:10
I love Sammy as a heel again. Dude, the.
00:52:12
The crowd is already turning in both heels.
00:52:14
OK, we're going to move on though.
00:52:15
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, moving on.
00:52:18
Class is not in session at Godalkin University.
00:52:22
The Boys spin off Gen. V has been cancelled after two
00:52:27
seasons, closing the chapter on the chaotic halls of Godalkin
00:52:31
University. The Boys season 5 is airing now
00:52:34
with a finale plan for May 20th. I actually really liked Gen.
00:52:40
VI, love that it was in that the boys world but it was telling.
00:52:46
It was strong enough that it didn't have to lean on the main
00:52:50
show, but when it connected there was good pay off.
00:52:54
Yeah. And I'm really sad that it this
00:52:56
is going away because I thought I had legs.
00:52:59
It it did. The thing is, is that also the
00:53:03
season finale the, the, the OR now it's going to be the series
00:53:06
finale of Gen. V did tie up a lot of stuff in
00:53:11
the way that there's current storylines in Gen.
00:53:15
V had all been tied up and what was left was it is going to get
00:53:19
tied up in the boys. You know, they've already said
00:53:23
that the Gen. V characters are going to be in
00:53:27
the finale of The Boys. And they've been, if you haven't
00:53:31
been paying attention to The Boys and what's going on in The
00:53:34
Boys, they have made a lot of references to the Gen.
00:53:38
V characters, but they have not showed up in the show yet.
00:53:40
So there's been a lot of, hey, where is this character?
00:53:43
And they're like, yeah, I know. We they they've been nowhere to
00:53:45
be found. We can't find them.
00:53:47
You know, they went on this mission and we can't find them
00:53:49
anymore and we got to figure this out and stuff like that.
00:53:51
So they've made references to them going missing.
00:53:57
And I hope they finished that story though.
00:53:59
Supposedly they are supposed to be a part of the finale.
00:54:03
So they're supposed to play a big part in the finale, I think.
00:54:08
I think there's going to be something along the lines of
00:54:12
that the the, the, the, the V serum one against spoilers.
00:54:19
If you guys haven't been watching The Boys, Homelander's
00:54:23
whole quest right now is trying to find a version of the
00:54:28
generation 1 serum because the generation 1 serum, anybody who
00:54:33
survived the tests for generation 1 serum was immortal
00:54:38
and he wants that immortality. So he's trying to find a version
00:54:42
of that serum so he can get immortality.
00:54:46
And the only other person that has his version of his serum is
00:54:51
What's Your Name from Jim B? Yeah, I can't remember the main
00:54:54
character from Jim B, but she she's the only other character
00:54:58
that has his version of his serum.
00:55:02
Yeah, besides Soldier Boy. Soldier Boy has an earlier
00:55:05
version of the serum. Oh, I get what you're.
00:55:07
Saying right, so like Soldier Boy Stormfront and there was
00:55:10
another character. They have immortality so they
00:55:13
can't die. I mean, they can die, but they
00:55:16
don't die of old age. Yeah, yeah.
00:55:19
All right, Prime Video is still pushing forward with the next
00:55:22
phase of its twisted superhero universe, with VOT Rising now
00:55:27
confirmed to arrive in 2027. Yeah, and that's going to be,
00:55:31
you know, we'll, we'll we'll see Soldier Boy.
00:55:34
And I was gonna say we'll see Soldier Boy.
00:55:36
We'll see. We'll probably see Stormfront
00:55:38
again. She had a different name.
00:55:39
I don't remember what her name was.
00:55:41
Because when when they brought him, when they brought her up to
00:55:44
Soldier Boy, he was like, what the fuck are you talking about?
00:55:46
And then, like said, gave gave her her original name.
00:55:49
He goes, oh, that crazy bitch. Yeah.
00:55:53
Yeah, I forgot her name. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:55:56
OK, moving on, who stole my cabbages?
00:56:00
Hi, James. James, hi.
00:56:03

00:56:10
I was and. Actually, I didn't.
00:56:10

00:56:12
Actually what I was. Going to do what I was going to
00:56:14
do is give you Game of Thrones, but.
00:56:16
But you let me do Game of Thrones.
00:56:18
But I was going to give you Game of Thrones and take because.
00:56:20
It's marked as you were. Saying But all that was in my
00:56:22
head and I. Expecting the expecting what we
00:56:25
what we claimed here. Before we get into the next
00:56:28

00:56:32

00:57:06
Serious drama swirling around the legend of ANG The Last
00:57:09
Airbender. According to reports out of
00:57:11
Singapore, a 26 year old man has been arrested in connection with
00:57:15
the leak of the upcoming Paramount Plus film.
00:57:18
Authorities say the suspect managed to gain unauthorized
00:57:21
remote access to a media server where he downloaded a digital
00:57:24
copy of the unreleased movie and then distributed it online.
00:57:28
Under Singaporean law, unauthorized access to computer
00:57:32
material can carry a penalty of up to seven years in prison and
00:57:36
a fine reaching $50. Holy cow.
00:57:41
My gods, this is man. All right, well.
00:57:47
But this I heard it was kind of a a big deal, like especially
00:57:50
with a copyright, copyright law like this, because it wasn't
00:57:54
like somebody had a copy from internally and leaked it.
00:57:59
This was somebody like hacked into.
00:58:01
Hacked the Yeah, the man. Got it.
00:58:05
Do you? You got to be committed for
00:58:06
that, yeah. You really had to watch Avatar.
00:58:10
Yeah, you really? Yeah.
00:58:13
So, yeah. Well, you know.
00:58:16
Legend of Ang is still scheduled for an October 2020 sixth
00:58:19
release on Paramount Plus. And they're also still fighting
00:58:25
to get it into theaters. I know a lot of fans want to see
00:58:27
this in theaters. I.
00:58:28
Would yeah, I guarantee OK if Paramount Plus is smart with
00:58:33
this because they're they're being dumb about it right now
00:58:35
and saying we're just going to. Put on Paramount.
00:58:37
If they end up deciding to put it on Paramount Plus and it gets
00:58:42
a lot of traction, they need to do what what Netflix does and
00:58:46
says, hey, we're going to put it in theaters for a limited
00:58:48
release. Here's a week and we're going to
00:58:50
put it in theaters for this week.
00:58:53
And if it fucking does gangbusters, then it's we're
00:58:56
going to extend it, you know what I mean?
00:58:57
Like. I would imagine it would if they
00:59:00
put it in. Theater that's that's what they
00:59:01
need to do is is do what what what Netflix does and says, hey,
00:59:07
here is K pop demon hunters. This thing is absolutely insane
00:59:13
as far as popularity goes. We're going to put it in
00:59:15
theaters for a limited run and then they sell out the theater
00:59:17
because of that run. Right.
00:59:20
You know, because I, I'm, I'm one of those people where like,
00:59:22
I will go, I'll probably watch it day one on Paramount Plus,
00:59:26
love it so much that I'll see it, you know, you know, they,
00:59:30
they say that they're going to put it in theaters.
00:59:31
I will go watch it in theaters. Yeah.
00:59:36
Yeah, I was just looking up, OK, I was just looking up Avatar the
00:59:40
Last Airbender and where to watch it.
00:59:42
I for some reason I thought it was on Netflix but it is on
00:59:45
Paramount because I assume people are going to want to
00:59:48
watch the series over. It it was on Netflix at some
00:59:51
point, but yeah. That's what that's what like
00:59:54
brought back the popularity of of Avatar the Last Airbender was
00:59:57
when it was on Netflix. And it's got the action on.
01:00:00
It right and then now it being on Paramount Plus, I know that
01:00:04
the Paramount Plus is trying to kind of create like you know how
01:00:09
like when you go to HBO Max or it's just Max now I guess I
01:00:14
don't. Know No, it's it's back to HBO
01:00:16
Max. Whatever HBO Max is.
01:00:19
It's HBO streaming service. You're right.
01:00:21
When, when, when, when you go to HBO Max, there are sections.
01:00:26
So you can go to like DC and there's like a whole DC section,
01:00:29
or you can go to Harry Potter and there's a whole Harry Potter
01:00:31
section. They're trying to do the same
01:00:33
thing on Paramount Plus with Avatar and create like an entire
01:00:37
like world of Avatar area within the app.
01:00:40
Yeah, gotcha. Cool, gotcha.
01:00:43
All right, so we're moving on. Doctor Jones.
01:00:45
Doctor Jones, a piece of toy history that fans never thought
01:00:49
they'd get their hands on, is now up for grabs, and it's got
01:00:52
collectors paying serious attention.
01:00:55
A cancelled short round action figure from the 1980s has
01:00:58
finally appeared for auction, giving fans a rare shot at
01:01:01
owning something that was never meant to leave the prototype
01:01:03
stage. Back in the 1980s, LJN took a
01:01:08
swing at producing a full Temple of Doom toy line.
01:01:12
Yeah, so cell figures were designed, including Short Round,
01:01:14
Willie Scott and a minecart version of Indy, but most of
01:01:18
them were scrapped before hitting shelves.
01:01:19
Only three figures ever married out into the wild.
01:01:22
Molaram, Giant, Fudgy, and Indiana Jones himself, of
01:01:25
course. Now one of those lost figures
01:01:28
has resurfaced. An unpainted prototype of Short
01:01:31
Round is currently up for auction through Hakes, and
01:01:34
collectors are already driving the price up.
01:01:37
Memorabilia and tied to Harrison Ford has proven especially
01:01:39
valuable, including his fedora from Temple of Doom, which sold
01:01:42
for $300. Fuck, man, it's more than my
01:01:46
house. Not more than my house.
01:01:49
That's a lie. But I mean, that's still that's.
01:01:52
Yeah, yeah. So yeah, again, a time of
01:01:56
writing for the actual figure, bids have climbed past $1000,
01:02:01
with expectations landing somewhere between 1000 and 2000,
01:02:04
which seems pretty low for an auction, but it's still, you
01:02:08
know, an insane amount of money for for that.
01:02:11
So two things I've got to, I've got to ask James directly, right
01:02:15
#1 James, how much are you going to bid on that 2 I need to.
01:02:20
Or how much have I bid? It how much have you bid on it?
01:02:22
And and two, I need you to give me your best Okie dokie Doctor
01:02:25
Jones. Okie, Dokie.
01:02:29
Doctor Jones. Doctor Jones.
01:02:31
Doctor Jones. Cause 'cause I I think you're
01:02:34
the only one that like it can do it without getting cancelled so.
01:02:39
He grew up in San Francisco. He can do it.
01:02:41
That's. Right.
01:02:43
But LGLJN is making a comeback. LJN is also producing some WWE
01:02:49
figures. Are they doing the the the the
01:02:52
classic like big body ones sort? Of.
01:02:57
Sort of because I saw I, I saw them promoting it on during
01:03:02
WrestleMania and they have like a Rock version of it.
01:03:04
Yeah, like, so those are coming. Those are making a comeback.
01:03:08
I can't believe that they expected it to only go to like
01:03:12
$2000. I was like, what?
01:03:15
That doesn't seem like much. It must.
01:03:17
Be low for that, yeah. And I was thinking like just
01:03:20
talking about this, just the articles coming out, just us
01:03:22
talking about it, that it's going to drive up these prices.
01:03:25
Yeah, it's and if you want to help drive up the price, go to
01:03:28
hakes.com. I'm I'm on it right now looking
01:03:31
at it. Of course you are.
01:03:34
Well, yeah, if we, if, if we end up getting it, then we'll, you
01:03:38
know, right now 2000 drivers or something.
01:03:42
The bid is only 13. $100 Oh no, come.
01:03:45
On this is this is doable, This is in the wheelhouse.
01:03:50
Like if the wife ends up going like where's the $1500 that we
01:03:53
had in the bank account? I'm like.
01:03:55
Don't worry about it, honey, don't worry about it.
01:03:58
It was cool action figure I got. What really, what really
01:04:02
surprises me on this is Kiwi Kwan is is on such a tear for
01:04:08
his career right now. Like he's on all kinds of crazy
01:04:11
things. And it's like that alone.
01:04:14
You would think people would try and go.
01:04:15
It's like one of his first roles, right?
01:04:19
I totally. We will see.
01:04:21
And this is a prototype. Yeah, prototypes usually sell
01:04:25
like crazy. Like the Boba Fett prototype is
01:04:28
like worth fucking millions now dude.
01:04:30
Yeah, this is like the rarest of the rare.
01:04:32
You know, this is like a few of these made and that's it.
01:04:37
We will see what happens. We'll see what happens.
01:04:41
All right, so moving on. Somehow, Gina Carano has
01:04:46
returned. The Star Wars franchise might
01:04:49
not be done with Cara Dune just yet, with the Mandalorian
01:04:52
universe expanding with the upcoming The Mandalorian and
01:04:54
Gogo movie. Gina Carano has stirred up
01:04:56
speculation after revealing she recently reconnected with
01:04:59
Lucasfilm leadership. Carano first step into the role
01:05:01
of Cara Dune in The Mandalorians Chapter 4 Sanctuary, quickly
01:05:05
becoming a fan favorite character.
01:05:08
And then obviously we're going to kind of go through what
01:05:10
happened there. Plans were in motion to give
01:05:13
very bigger spotlight with a spinoff series title Rangers in
01:05:15
the New Republic, but that project was a scrapped.
01:05:18
Following Carano's controversial social media comments, Lucasfilm
01:05:22
then cut ties with her. What followed was a messy period
01:05:26
saw her career shift into smaller, direct to digital
01:05:29
project, including some things from streaming services.
01:05:31
That is, you know, just, yeah. Anyway, that chapter took a turn
01:05:35
last year when Carano settled her lawsuit with Disney.
01:05:40
The time Disney said it looked forward to identifying
01:05:43
opportunities to work together. It seems those conversations
01:05:46
weren't just corporate talk, even though they very much sound
01:05:49
like it. Carano confirmed she's already
01:05:52
spoken with Dave Filoni and Jon Favre following the settlement.
01:05:56
She said Dave Filoni taking over CEO of Star Wars, It's like we
01:05:59
didn't even miss a beat. And Jon Favreau was really
01:06:01
funny, got on the Zoom and he's like, so where did we leave off?
01:06:05
So we'll see. She's what do we what do we
01:06:09
think about this? I So this is my question to you
01:06:12
guys. Knowing that she's back and that
01:06:15
she's already had meetings with Filoni and Favreau, is she going
01:06:19
to end up in Mandalorian and Grogu?
01:06:22
I I don't think she's going to be in Mandalorian and Grogu.
01:06:26
I think she would have already started making all kinds of
01:06:30
noise about that and wear that a thing.
01:06:32
Yeah, right. Because she's the kind of person
01:06:35
that would be like, see, I won. I won.
01:06:38
I'm in Mandalorian and Grogu. You know to do.
01:06:41
Something like that. So you know, if they do bring
01:06:45
her back, whatever, right? Like it's it's.
01:06:48
See the the The thing is, I liked her character.
01:06:50
I don't really like her so right she's.
01:06:53
The problem, Her character's fine.
01:06:54
It's it's. Yeah, her character's fine.
01:06:56
It's you can separate that from her other weirdness, then it's
01:07:00
it's fine. So, and I was excited for the
01:07:04
Rangers of the New Republic thing.
01:07:05
Kind of sad we never got it, yeah.
01:07:07
Though you still might get it somehow.
01:07:09
We. We might.
01:07:11
I don't think, I don't think it'll come in Rangers of the New
01:07:13
Republic. I think it'll be some different
01:07:15
type of project, mainly because, you know, obviously they've
01:07:18
moved on from where, from where that storyline sat, but that
01:07:23
doesn't mean that they won't do something else.
01:07:25
You know what I mean? It may be a film because Disney
01:07:28
is trying to focus on films and not doing TV shows anymore.
01:07:33
So it may be a film with Car Dune in it.
01:07:37
She may just be another character that just kind of
01:07:39
shows up. She might end up being the one
01:07:43
who is running Navarro now. Oh yeah, that's what I'm.
01:07:47
Saying like, you could easily take her and be like, hey,
01:07:49
something happened. She's running Navarro now.
01:07:53
Yeah, right. You know, they're going to honor
01:07:56
Carl Weathers somehow. Yeah.
01:07:58
And it could be something like this where she has almost like a
01:08:01
a bit cameo role in the film. Right.
01:08:04
You know, I don't think it'll be in Mandalorian and Grogu because
01:08:08
I think that storyline is going somewhere else.
01:08:10
But I think in a future project, because I think they're doing
01:08:13
like another another. I wanted to say they said
01:08:17
something about like one or two more movies to finish off this
01:08:19
entire storyline. Well, I mean, I would assume
01:08:22
there's like an Air to the Empire movie or something.
01:08:25
Yeah, I went down the. Line or like, you know, we get,
01:08:30
you know, Ahsoka going to Navarro for one reason or
01:08:34
another, and what we're doing is the one.
01:08:36
They could see them doing like a like a hasty post credits scene
01:08:40
for man and Lennon Groguru with her and it or something.
01:08:42
But I, I, I I don't know so well.
01:08:45
I mean, keep in mind Dave Filoni is still supposed to make a
01:08:50
movie. Yeah.
01:08:52
You know, this was supposed to be Season 4 of Mandalorian.
01:08:54
Now it's a movie. Jon Favreau's, you know, doing
01:08:57
it, but Filoni is still supposed to be heading up.
01:09:02
That's what I'm saying. This is probably going to be an
01:09:03
Heir to the Empire movie, so. And he knowing Filoni, this is
01:09:08
his signature. He takes pieces of, you know,
01:09:12
the Canon or you know, 2B Canon that people love and sticks it
01:09:17
in and makes it relevant. I could see him totally doing
01:09:20
that, where he's like, let's grab Gina and bring her back in
01:09:23
and make that character relevant again.
01:09:25
Right, or, or or she may be associated with the next story
01:09:31
that we're going to get into here in a second you.
01:09:33
May be Speaking of, it's the Return of the Jedi.
01:09:39
There's a rumor being reported that Star Wars Tales of the Jedi
01:09:42
could return with another, with none other than Luke Skywalker
01:09:47
taking the spotlight. If true, it would mark a pretty
01:09:49
big shift for the animated anthology series and could offer
01:09:52
a fresh shot at exploring Luke in a way the sequel trilogy
01:09:55
never quite nailed. According to Insider at 5
01:09:59
Walker, Luke Skywalker is expected to play a major role in
01:10:02
the next chapter of Tales of the Jedi.
01:10:05
So yeah. So Lucasfilm hasn't officially
01:10:07
announced another installment. Shifting focus from shifting
01:10:11
focus to Luke would be smart move, and one that would
01:10:13
instantly get fans paying attention.
01:10:16
There's also some interesting timing at play.
01:10:18
The recent Tale series have both dropped on May 4th, and with
01:10:22
Mall Shadow Lord nearing its end, an announcement could be
01:10:25
right around the corner. Oh, that's so interesting.
01:10:28
Yeah. What do we think?
01:10:29
So, and that's where kind of I was, I was leaning into on on
01:10:33
the last one, Cara Dune could show up in in animated form too.
01:10:39
Yeah, you know, it, It doesn't necessarily mean because Cara
01:10:42
Dune is a character and she's working with Disney and Star
01:10:46
Wars, again, doesn't mean that her character is going to show
01:10:48
up in live action. Because The thing is, is that
01:10:50
they kind of already have stuff planned out, right?
01:10:52
And it's kind of like, yeah, you could shoehorn her in, but she
01:10:56
could also be a character that Luke interacts with because it
01:10:59
is still set in that time frame. Right.
01:11:02
Yeah, that's true. No, I I'd be interested in this.
01:11:05
I mean this old. Tales of the Jedi with Luke that
01:11:09
blows open the doors to do so many characters.
01:11:13
We could, yeah, we could get some really fun like New Jedi
01:11:16
Order stuff, some callbacks to to Camelot cause again, Oh, I
01:11:23
just realized something. I think with the throng stuff,
01:11:28
how it happened in Legends, I think Luke's New Jedi Order was
01:11:32
involved, so this could be a a way to introduce those elements
01:11:39
as well to tie it up a little bit more with the Legends
01:11:43
version. You know what also would be
01:11:45
something I'd be really excited about?
01:11:48
If Luke interacts with Keller and Beck.
01:11:52
Yeah. Yeah, I, I feel like that
01:11:54
interaction would be dope. Well, like a like a Luke
01:11:57
Skywalker, Keller and Beck, you know, kind of the two of them
01:12:01
interacting as like kind of like surviving Jedi kind of thing.
01:12:05
Pretty cool. I mean I would also maybe want
01:12:08
them to to bring like Kyle Katarn into Canada or something.
01:12:11
That would be kind of cool. We all want Kyle Katarn.
01:12:13
We all want Mara Jade, we all want Kyle Katarn.
01:12:15
The problem is it gets kind of muddy because they.
01:12:19
It does a kind of muddy with like they.
01:12:21
Really messed up the timeline that he was in, so it's kind.
01:12:23
Of like Kyle Katarn is kind of like the Doom guy of Star Wars
01:12:27
legends. So you know, you, you have some
01:12:30
problems there, but that'd be cool.
01:12:32
I'm, I'm interested in this. I, I hope that it's, it's true
01:12:34
'cause again, this is just a rumor right now, but I hope
01:12:37
that's true. It could be cool.
01:12:38
I mean, you know, it's a little fan service Y, but if they have
01:12:41
a good story to tell, then I'm there.
01:12:43
And this would like total kick off, you know, kind of the
01:12:47
celebration leading into the 50th anniversary.
01:12:50
That's true. That's true.
01:12:52
Imagine like doing new Luke Skywalker content.
01:12:56
I mean, they really brought him into Galaxy's Edge.
01:12:58
Like he's walking around Galaxy's Edge right now.
01:13:00
With Han Solo and and Princess Leia and yeah, it's yeah.
01:13:05
Yeah. I can see them pushing for for
01:13:07
more kind of original trilogy content like this and and doing
01:13:14
this in a Tales of the Jedi type way, like a serious tone.
01:13:21
Yeah, no, it it could be cool. All right, So, yeah.
01:13:26
So the big question now is whether Mark Hamill will return
01:13:29
to voice Luke or will it be Sebastian Stan?
01:13:33
I like to take, I mean in this case, have the voice actor who
01:13:40
plays himself play himself. Yeah.
01:13:44
I haven't heard him lately Mark Hamill lately, but I wonder how
01:13:48
he sounds because as you get older, your voice.
01:13:51
Changes. Oh, his voice is deeper for
01:13:53
sure. Deeper than what it was when he
01:13:55
was younger. So it would be kind of
01:13:57
interesting to see what he sounds.
01:13:58
Like, I mean, but that isn't unusual because Luke would be a
01:14:01
little bit older, so yeah. True.
01:14:03
True as as long as he doesn't sound how Harrison Ford sounded
01:14:08
in the new Indiana Jones movie when they age down and he looks
01:14:12
young, but he sounds like an old man.
01:14:14
Yeah, he's like all garbly. Yeah.
01:14:17
All right, Cool all. Right, jump off this train.
01:14:21
All right, so we're going to move to some corporate drama.
01:14:24
Good. How about Tim Apples?
01:14:28
After nearly 15 years during one of the most powerful tech
01:14:31
companies on the planet, Tim Cook is officially stepping down
01:14:34
as CEO of Apple Incorporated. The company confirmed that John
01:14:38
Turnus, currently senior vice president of hardware
01:14:40
engineering, take over the top spot starting September 1st.
01:14:44
The company confirmed that Cook. Well, actually, that's I already
01:14:50
read all that. Cook oversaw some major releases
01:14:52
that shape modern Apple. Bigger screen iPhones kicked off
01:14:55
for the iPhone 6 Plus, including entirely new categories like the
01:14:59
Apple Watch and Airpods became staples of everyday tech life.
01:15:03
One of Crooke's biggest impacts came from expanding Apple
01:15:06
services ecosystem. Over the years, the company
01:15:09
rolled out Apple TV, Apple Music, Apple Nude, Apple Fitness
01:15:12
and a bunch of other things. So yeah, this is, you know,
01:15:16
corporate drama, but what do we think?
01:15:17
Here it. Makes me wonder like why he's.
01:15:22
Yeah. I mean, he's stepping down.
01:15:25
Yeah, I don't know what's, I mean, you know, I, I don't want
01:15:28
to make any, you know, accusations we could get sued
01:15:30
over. But you know, I'm thinking
01:15:33
they're big corporate CEO. There could be some things in
01:15:36
the background there that he's trying to avoid.
01:15:40
As a former Apple employee. Yeah, here we go.
01:15:44
I. Used to work for Apple.
01:15:47
I don't know, I, I've seen a lot of changes in the way that Tim
01:15:52
Cook has handled himself over the last couple of years.
01:15:58
Tim Cook used to be someone who was very go getter.
01:16:04
You know, I am going to make sure I take care of everyone
01:16:08
around me and everybody, every employee that was around and
01:16:11
everything like that. And then just kind of the last
01:16:17
couple of years, the, the kind of I, I, I feel like there's a
01:16:20
lot of bowing down to get out of the limelight.
01:16:26
There is a lot of, I am going to say and do things that get you
01:16:31
out of my way so I can go and go about my business.
01:16:34
And I feel like what's going on with that is that may just be
01:16:39
too much. And he's just like, I don't want
01:16:41
to deal with this anymore and I would rather step down and not
01:16:45
deal with all the crap I have to deal with governmentally when
01:16:52
before this stuff was going on, I could just focus on the
01:16:56
business and focus on Apple. Well, now I can't just focus on
01:17:00
Apple. I have to play politics.
01:17:02
And it's like, I don't want to do this anymore and I'm, I'm
01:17:04
done with this. I didn't, I didn't come into
01:17:07
this business to be a politician that came in this business to
01:17:09
innovate a tech company. And I can't do that because
01:17:12
everything is getting in my way. And I feel like that was kind of
01:17:15
like probably the impetus of he may not say that, but it's like
01:17:21
I. Yeah, that does sound.
01:17:24
Knowing who Tim Kirk is and what he's kind of had to do in the
01:17:28
last couple of years, I can see I'm more surprised that he
01:17:32
didn't step down sooner, honestly.
01:17:35
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think he ever wanted to
01:17:38
be the face of the company and be the politician of it all.
01:17:42
I think like what you're saying, I think he just wanted to make
01:17:45
good product and and help push the company in new directions,
01:17:50
but not to be like what you said, the political face of it
01:17:54
all you. Know.
01:17:55
As soon as he got on stage, like, you know, after Steve Jobs
01:17:58
and everything, I'm just like, I don't know if he's the guy, but
01:18:01
he did well. He did well-being the face, but
01:18:04
he wasn't that like I'm going to command the stage command
01:18:09
presence of guy he did. A lot of good things.
01:18:13
The the the thing about Tim Cook, nobody is ever going to be
01:18:18
Steve Jobs. Yes.
01:18:19
No one is ever going to be Steve Jobs.
01:18:22
Why we we all said this when you were when we worked at Apple.
01:18:26
And this is not a unknown thing. He was a fucking mega
01:18:30
megalomaniacal narcissist. There were stories that we all
01:18:37
knew about about Steve Jobs rejecting a a model of a laptop
01:18:45
because they didn't like the way the screws looked right yeah I
01:18:49
mean, like and again, working working on the tech side of
01:18:52
Apple. It's like, yeah, we we know that
01:18:58
is a megalomaniacal thing to do is AI am so in charge of this
01:19:04
company that you know, I can reject an entire production line
01:19:10
because I don't like the way the screws look, right?
01:19:14
But at the same time, because he was that much of A
01:19:18
perfectionist, he came out with superior products in in the time
01:19:24
that he was in charge. A lot of the product that he
01:19:27
came out with were was amazing. So we will never get another
01:19:32
Steve Jobs because you need someone like that and no company
01:19:36
wants to deal with that on APR level.
01:19:40
Yeah, that's why they fired Steve Jobs.
01:19:42
And then when it was like, you know what, we're failing, bring
01:19:45
Steve Jobs back. And he brought the company out
01:19:48
of darkness because when they brought Steve Jobs back, the
01:19:53
first thing he did was create the iPhone.
01:19:55
So I mean, you know. That's so crazy.
01:19:58
Yeah, yeah. Sorry.
01:20:00
Not the iPhone. First thing he created was the
01:20:02
iPod and then he created the iPhone.
01:20:05
Yeah, So, yeah. So sounds like Apple is entering
01:20:08
a brand new phase. We'll see how it goes.
01:20:11
All right, so Phil, this is yours.
01:20:13
We're going to talk about more corporate drama.
01:20:15
Yep. All right.
01:20:16
Well, ladies and gentlemen, let's let's talk about it.
01:20:20
It's time for the trend up. And then we were silent.
01:20:36
Well, here we are with all of the trending things going on.
01:20:42
Even the greedy people think this is just too greedy.
01:20:47
Warner Brothers Discovery just cleared a major hurdle in its
01:20:51
future, and things are getting very real for this massive
01:20:54
Paramount merger. Shareholders.
01:20:57
Shareholders have officially signed off on the $111 billion
01:21:01
deal that would reshape the entertainment landscape, but
01:21:05
they didn't hold back when it came to how the company is
01:21:08
rewarding its top executives on the way out.
01:21:12
You guys already know I'm going to have a lot to say about this.
01:21:14
At the virtual shareholder meeting that barely stretched
01:21:17
past 10 minutes, investors overwhelmingly approved
01:21:20
Paramount Skydance's plans to acquire Warner Brothers
01:21:24
Discovery at $31 per share in cash.
01:21:29
Yeah, that vote moves the deal one step closer to completion
01:21:35
and puts David Ellison on track to take control of a seriously
01:21:39
powerful entertainment empire. But while the merger itself got
01:21:43
strong support, the same couldn't be said for the
01:21:46
executive compensation tied to it.
01:21:48
A majority of shareholders voted against the massive exit
01:21:52
packages lined up for CEO David Saslov.
01:21:54
Fuck that guy and other top brass, according to filings.
01:22:01
According to filings, Zaslov's exit package is enormous.
01:22:05
It's set to receive 34.2 million in cash severance plus 517.2
01:22:14
million in equity and 4404 thousand $44 in health
01:22:22
related reimbursements. That puts the total at over $550
01:22:29
million. Fuck.
01:22:32
On top of that, the company agreed to cover up cover up to
01:22:37
335 million in taxes tied to his accelerated stock vesting,
01:22:43
though that number could shift depending on when the deal
01:22:46
closes. Side note, David Zasloff also
01:22:49
already holds 115.85 million invested stock and recently sold
01:22:58
$114 million worth of shares. Zaslav also I it's just
01:23:05
ridiculous. Zaslav also already holds 115.85
01:23:10
million invested stock. And OK, we repeated that.
01:23:14
It's fine. It's OK, I mean.
01:23:18
You know what it's it's. It's worth repeating, honestly.
01:23:20
Yeah, it kind of is, man. So the deal was moving forward,
01:23:24
but it's coming with some serious bombastic side eye from
01:23:27
investors, lawmakers and and the creative community in itself.
01:23:32
I'm going to. Please anchor me here because
01:23:35
I'm already pissed off. I am going to let Phil get on a
01:23:38
soapbox in a second. I think, James, you and I should
01:23:41
yeah, go for it. Say our piece for my but like I
01:23:44
could, I could go on a whole soapbox to basically the usually
01:23:49
the like core of of my my opinions and my little, you
01:23:53
know, rants or whatever is fuck capitalism.
01:23:56
Fuck late stage capitalism, James.
01:24:00
I understand the whole like, OK, there's incentives, there's
01:24:03
bonuses, but this is ridiculous. 550 half of over half a billion
01:24:10
dollars just to like, OK, thank you for for your time.
01:24:14
Thank you for selling us this company.
01:24:17
Here's half a billion dollars to leave the company.
01:24:22
Fuck that is nuts. It is.
01:24:27
It's criminal. It is honestly criminal.
01:24:30
It's the first time I've agreed with whatever board of
01:24:34
directors, executives there are. Just to be like.
01:24:36
Whoa, whoa. You're going to ever agree with
01:24:38
that board of directors? Yeah, like, Oh my, wait, you're
01:24:41
taking half a billion dollars walking away.
01:24:45
Like what? Come on.
01:24:47
All right, Phil, go. Why?
01:24:51
Why? Why?
01:24:52
Why? What?
01:24:53
What has he done? He has a legacy of failure.
01:24:59
So he he he failed up in a way that they had to sell the
01:25:05
company. So why does he deserve half
01:25:09
$1? Why that's that's basically what
01:25:13
I go down what it what it comes down to it.
01:25:15
It is it is pointless they that that you give this dude who who
01:25:20
failed upwards in a way that that, that, that David Ellison
01:25:25
is buying the company, you know, and for what reason so you can
01:25:30
buy more houses and more cars that he's never going to use.
01:25:35
Because the rich protect their own, that's why, yeah.
01:25:41
Do you own 114.85 million in stocks?
01:25:47
Leave with that. Yeah.
01:25:49
Leave with that. He still has that.
01:25:52
Remember, he sold 114 million already and still has $115
01:25:59
million worth of vested stock. You know, like I, I, I, I, I
01:26:06
would even be OK with, OK, whatever the medical
01:26:09
compensation package that he had, what was like 4444 million,
01:26:12
That's fine, right? Be, be medically comfortable for
01:26:16
the rest of your life, you know, but everything else, you don't
01:26:20
need any of that. Yeah, you know, put that money
01:26:24
to somewhere that's going to be of better use, like back into
01:26:28
the fucking company, you know, like they're already like, you
01:26:35
know, cutting people and, and, and firing people in order to
01:26:39
give the the executives more money.
01:26:42
Yeah. Disney just.
01:26:44
Give them a fucking packet. Yeah, Disney just fired their
01:26:48
entire visual Marvel's entire in visual effects team, right?
01:26:55
For what? Why?
01:26:56
Why, why, Why did you get rid of Marvel's visual effects team?
01:27:00
Money. For money so that so that the CE
01:27:03
OS can have more money. They are firing people in order
01:27:07
to put AI in place of a lot of things.
01:27:10
Right, but, but you're giving David Zaslov a exit package of a
01:27:16
half, $1 billion. I'm sorry, half a billion
01:27:19
dollars? Half a billion dollars.
01:27:21
Yeah, no, fuck off. Yeah, It's, it's it's it's.
01:27:24
Pointless. More money than the fucking God
01:27:26
it's. Pointless.
01:27:27
It's it's, it's a waste of, of of money.
01:27:30
It's taking more money out of circulation that makes the rest
01:27:33
of us have to fight for more scraps.
01:27:35
Yeah, it is consolidation. It is, it is, you know, now they
01:27:39
know, hey, we can, we're going to do it.
01:27:41
We're going to just, you know, put all the money into us.
01:27:44
It's class. It's, you know, I could go fold
01:27:46
odds here, but class conflict, blah, blah, blah.
01:27:49
Anyway. So I'm I'm not.
01:27:53
Frustrating. We have to keep talking about.
01:27:55
This, I'm not going to go too much further on this, I'm just
01:27:57
going to leave it at that, But it is.
01:27:59
It is something that frustrates me to all all to all hell,
01:28:03
mainly because it is another way to protect rich people rather
01:28:08
than trying to help the people who make them rich.
01:28:12
Yep. Right, you know, to, to have
01:28:16
that much amount of money, it's it's crazy to think they're
01:28:20
like, OK, this one guy, you get this as your package to leave
01:28:25
the company. How many other people, like,
01:28:28
think of how much money that Paramount and Skydance and
01:28:32
probably Warner has just sitting around just like, OK, yeah,
01:28:36
we're going to use it to pay executives when they should be
01:28:40
making films, they should be making TV shows.
01:28:43
You. Yeah, Remember we talked.
01:28:44
About doing what they are as an under hammer company.
01:28:47
Remember, we talked about this a few weeks ago with the American
01:28:52
Monty Python guy, Terry Gilliam. Gilliam, Yeah.
01:28:56
He was like, I just want to make this movie for like a few
01:29:00
$1, you know, and they he can't even get it made, You
01:29:05
know, he can't even get the rights to make it made and get
01:29:08
it done, which is through like Paramount Skydance.
01:29:12
And they're like, OK, Paramount's kind of here's half
01:29:15
a billion dollars to some guy that's.
01:29:16
Just for, for, for this random motherfucker.
01:29:18
Yeah, it's just. Anyway, let's let's move.
01:29:23
On it's such a different. Level.
01:29:25
So, so like I'm trying to look up right now, right what?
01:29:29
What films has David Zasloff made?
01:29:33
Is he a film maker? Oh no, he's not.
01:29:36
Not at all. He's been an executive his
01:29:37
entire life. So what actual contribution has
01:29:43
he done to the company again? Because you are, you failed so
01:29:46
much that they that they sold the company that they were
01:29:49
trying to sell the company in the 1st place, right?
01:29:53
So if you destroyed this company to a point where they had to
01:29:58
sell the company, why do you deserve 1/2 a billion dollars?
01:30:02
Half a billion, and honestly, this is what he's good at, is
01:30:06
coming into a company, hacking it up to a point where it's like
01:30:10
it's somebody else wants to buy it.
01:30:13
Yeah, like people pay him to come and and murder a bunch of
01:30:16
people and give him money. Yeah, he he was the one that's
01:30:20
be like going to be like, I'm going to take all the blame for
01:30:22
everything that's about to happen.
01:30:24
You know, like selling off things, Batgirl, not putting out
01:30:29
Batgirl and using it as a tax write off, getting rid of Looney
01:30:33
Tunes, that sort of thing, not releasing projects.
01:30:37
It's all on me so I can get half a billion dollars.
01:30:40
Yeah. Oh, you know, so anyway, so the,
01:30:43
you know, big conclusion here, fuck David Zaslow.
01:30:47
That's that's the big conclusion.
01:30:48
It's it's the again, like you, you, you're somebody who is
01:30:53
taking from the film industry that did nothing to advance the
01:30:56
film industry, that gave nothing to the film industry.
01:31:00
And and. Yeah, yeah.
01:31:02
And this whole started with Warner Brothers being in like
01:31:04
$56 billion debt. Now they're going to give half a
01:31:08
billion to somebody that's leaving the company like, Oh my
01:31:11
God. Anyway, we're to beggar.
01:31:13
We should. We should get going here.
01:31:14
Yeah, so let's, let's, let's, let's stop beating this dead
01:31:18
horse because we are beating the living shit out of it.
01:31:21
Or. Unliving shit, rather.
01:31:24
Yeah, you know, we, we are, we are, we have destroyed it to the
01:31:28
point where we don't read it anymore.
01:31:30
