Yung Phil and Jen tackle the week’s loudest geek stories—live with a crowd. We kick off with Stranger Things spin-off chatter (possibly with a Twin Peaks vibe), Rey leading a new Jedi Order, and a Gotham tale about a low-level goon who might accidentally take down Batman. Spider-Man rumors swirl—Scorpion suit sightings, Punisher crossovers, Venom possibilities—plus animated plans for R-rated Venom and Spider-Woman, a TV-MA Marvel Zombies run, and hopes for a Maximum Carnage arc.
Casting buzz: Dave Bautista in Highlander, Sebastian Stan in a Romanian Frankenstein, Matt Smith in Starfighter with Ryan Gosling and Mia Goth, and Demon Slayer’s Infinity Castle arc with Channing Tatum and Rebecca Wang. In news, Netflix revives TJ Hooker, AMC trims pre-show ads, Disney+ cancels Goosebumps, and Gina Carano settles with Disney. We close with a bigger industry talk on the Skydance-Paramount deal, Disney’s IP strategy, and whether studios are truly funding new stories.

A moody Stranger Things spin-off could lean into cryptic vibes.
Rey’s New Jedi Order may finally define a post-Skywalker era—if it embraces moral grey areas.
A Gotham goon tale works if it channels Sid the Squid without copying it.
Spider-Man’s street-level era could test Peter’s optimism against Punisher’s brutality.
Animated Spider projects can push tone further than live action.
Marvel Zombies TV-MA is a safe horror testbed for Marvel.
Casting news shows momentum across fandoms—from Highlander to Demon Slayer.
AMC’s ad cuts score points with moviegoers.
The Carano settlement sparks debate on studio guardrails.
Big picture: Bold IP roadmaps mean nothing if new stories don’t get greenlit.

00:04:15
trying to think what we binged. We binged something recently, I
00:04:18
can't remember what. I've binged a couple things
00:04:20
recently. Yeah, I can't remember though.
00:04:23
I'm sure I'll remember it. We just started watching What We
00:04:25
Do in the Shadows. Just finished the orgy episode
00:04:29
of season 1. Was like, oh, here we go.
00:04:31
And Nadia, I love her. I love her.
00:04:34
I just I saw I binged eyes of Wakanda.
00:04:37
It was amazing. We got.
00:04:39
We, yeah, we finished Eyes of Wakanda as well.
00:04:42
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've been wanting to talk to you
00:04:44
about it. Yeah, we definitely got to talk
00:04:46
about that soon. It was, it was amazing.
00:04:48
I've been, I've been all over threads with it and just just
00:04:51
giving it nothing but praise. And then I binged up to the
00:04:55
current episode of what is the show Twisted Metal?
00:04:59
Oh. OK, yeah, I know you were
00:05:00
watching that. I haven't watched any of that
00:05:02
yet. Twisted metals.
00:05:04
It's great. It's so messed up.
00:05:05
Speaking of orgies, there's an orgy scene in the latest episode
00:05:08
and it's ridiculous. And gilded H Finnish gilded H
00:05:12
loved it. Chef's kiss.
00:05:14
OK anyway, Geek freaks is the network that geeks your language
00:05:18
podcast that punch, ponder and power up, including including
00:05:23
these are actually I was gonna talk about these, but I actually
00:05:25
want to talk about the new geek freaks podcast.
00:05:28
Like the headline show, not the headlines show, but the actual
00:05:32
like. The interview show.
00:05:34
Hitch Schiller Show. Yeah, it's the Hitch Schiller
00:05:36
Show. So it's got like different
00:05:38
segments. And today's was, I think it came
00:05:41
out today. Yeah, it came out today was they
00:05:45
talked about like, well, they talked about all that stuff that
00:05:47
we're going to talk about. So I'm not going to talk about
00:05:48
that. But our interview, the interview
00:05:50
with me and Shudu and Graveyard is part of it.
00:05:55
And I have to say this, Frank can do amazing things with
00:05:58
editing because he made me sound a heck of a lot more intelligent
00:06:02
than I was on that interview. Let me tell you, I was like, he
00:06:06
made me sound good, but no. And so that's out now.
00:06:09
He's a he is. Get that man to want.
00:06:12
No, wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:06:14
You're a wizard, Harry. There you.
00:06:16
Go. You're a wizard, Frankie.
00:06:18
You're wizard, Frankie. So yeah, that I wanted to
00:06:21
mention that one because I think that's kind of cool.
00:06:23
Kind of cool anyway. And they've got like fandom
00:06:26
portals, interviews and headlines anime.
00:06:29

00:07:11
from other shows onto our show. So then that way, you know, get
00:07:15
some cross pollination. But it's also just because I I
00:07:18
love getting takes from other people so.
00:07:20
Oh yeah, absolutely. And they have some really fun
00:07:23
takes on a lot of things. So I would love to get them in
00:07:26
the mix of all of our stuff because I think we might blow
00:07:29
their minds a little, but I think that they could equally
00:07:31
blow our. So yeah, I think it's a good.
00:07:34
We have a tendency to do that. We we tend to blow people's
00:07:36
minds as it is, so we. We do some of the stuff we say
00:07:40
comes way out of left field, like in a different state out of
00:07:43
left field. Yeah, yeah.
00:07:44
But yeah, that or or maybe out of country because we're going
00:07:48
to, we're going to move on here. It's time to get banned in
00:07:50
Belarus, ladies and gentlemen. It's time for starting rooms.
00:07:54
So let's get banned in a country that we're not really worried
00:07:57
about getting banned in. One foot in Russia, 1 foot out
00:08:00
Belarus. Yeah.
00:08:03
Getting down to Belarus, ban the Belarus, ban the Belarus, ban
00:08:11
the Belarus, ban the Belarus, ban the Belarus, ban the
00:08:14
Belarus. I can't wait till the end of the
00:08:18
episode when we get that notification that says you have
00:08:21
been banned in multiple countries.
00:08:23
And then I open it up and it just says Belarus.
00:08:25
Belarus, you know, we love Belarus.
00:08:29
We're just sad that they don't love us back.
00:08:31
I can't believe it. Sure, I.
00:08:33
After all we've done for Belarus?
00:08:35
Yeah, I absolutely love dictators.
00:08:37
That's. I couldn't tell you where it is
00:08:40
on a map it's close to or a globe.
00:08:42
It's close to Russia and it is they boast themselves as the
00:08:46
country with. Well, I mean, it's not true
00:08:49
anymore, but he he called himself the last true dictator,
00:08:52
the president. Of Belarus is it?
00:08:54
Is it because he has a penis? And and he's a potato, Yeah.
00:08:57
Maybe. OK, well, you know what?
00:08:59
Let's get into the rumors. Let's stop talking about a
00:09:01
country that likes to ban. Us Yeah, so let's get into this
00:09:05
this first kind of story ish here because it's some exciting
00:09:09
stuff. Cryptic vibes, creepy woods and
00:09:12
demogorgons with daddy issues. Finn Wolf heart teases the Twin
00:09:15
Peaks inspired spin off, while the final season kicks off with
00:09:19
the craziest cold open we've ever done.
00:09:21
Expect Upside down weirdness, cryptic vibes, and possibly a
00:09:25
Demi Gorgon in a flat. If this ends with 11 whispering
00:09:29
fire, walk with me. We'll send bonus points if Steve
00:09:32
gets a dream sequence with a backward talking Dustin.
00:09:35
It all sounds absolutely fucking bonkers.
00:09:37
So, guys. And then when I say guys, I mean
00:09:39
the chat too. I mean the chat too.
00:09:42
Tacos on the table, ladies and gentlemen.
00:09:44
Are we entering A cryptic era of Hawkins or is the smoke with no
00:09:48
Upside down fire? Yeah.
00:09:50
Is this smoke with no upside down fire?
00:09:52
Sorry I. That was a little like I I think
00:09:57
I may be overwrote that just it's OK, just tiny bit it's
00:10:00
alright. But yeah, I'm sorry, I had to go
00:10:03
full on twin peak for this because you have to when someone
00:10:07
says it's got there's there's a potential Twin Peaks spin off,
00:10:10
you gotta do it. Alright, well, my tacos.
00:10:13
I wasn't saying I wonder if they put it in the same universe.
00:10:15
Well, I would think that they would have to.
00:10:17
I mean stranger things if you have a twin.
00:10:20
Oh, you mean like the Twin Peaks is?
00:10:22
That would be amazing. Sorry.
00:10:25
I can't believe I didn't put those together sooner.
00:10:27
Yeah, but I and stranger think, I mean, I mean they take place
00:10:30
in different time time eras. So I mean like.
00:10:32
Yeah, it's true. Maybe they are.
00:10:34
What if we find out after all of this that Agent Cooper is either
00:10:39
related to one of the kids or related to related to like, a
00:10:45
Winona Ryder's or even David Harbour's character?
00:10:49
Like maybe could be related like a distant cousin or something.
00:10:53
That might be cool. That might be cool.
00:10:54
Interesting. Sorry I.
00:10:56
Can't believe that. You're talking about your your
00:10:58
tacos here, so go ahead. I haven't watched, you know, I
00:11:00
haven't watched Stranger Things than season 1.
00:11:03
Really. It's, I feel like I lived it.
00:11:05
I lived a lot of. No, it gets progressively just
00:11:08
more somewhat more unhinged, but it just the story progresses
00:11:13
well. It's really good.
00:11:14
I, I didn't dislike it. It was just something that I was
00:11:17
like, I, I I lived through the era and I I just feel like it's
00:11:22
just not something I like to revisit.
00:11:24
No, not a revisiting type of thing.
00:11:26
I don't know. Maybe I'll give it a try.
00:11:28
Like after it finish, I'll I'll get it, give it a try.
00:11:31
But yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
00:11:33
Anyway, yeah. So I'm just gonna say sure,
00:11:36
let's put all the tacos. Let's put the Demi gorgon meat
00:11:40
tacos on the table. Oh.
00:11:42
That would be disgusting. They'd be tough.
00:11:44
Fillet those puppies. Oh.
00:11:46
Yeah, yeah. I mean, I, I like the idea of of
00:11:50
it being just kind of going into that direction, especially being
00:11:54
that's the last season. It's that they did a time jump
00:11:57
and we're getting into the late 80s.
00:11:58
They're like all, I think they're saying that they're all
00:12:00
college students at this point. Well, I mean, you know, they
00:12:02
were growing faster than than they were able to fill, so yeah.
00:12:06
So there was about three years in between one of the seasons.
00:12:09
So they, they, yeah, yeah, they had, they had to like jump in
00:12:12
there. If you if you look at them like
00:12:13
in the last season, they all look grown and it's like, OK,
00:12:16
well, it's three seasons from when they film that, so they're
00:12:19
all gonna look like adults. Yeah, I mean, they kind of had
00:12:21
to do it. Yeah, Gaten Matarazzo has like a
00:12:24
full beard now. So it's like, yeah, no, you
00:12:26
can't do that. Right.
00:12:27
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, well, I mean, you know,
00:12:29
back then there were kids in high school that had full beard.
00:12:33
I mean, I'm just saying that. But then like, usually if you do
00:12:37
shows like that and it's like the senior year or final year of
00:12:41
high school, it can be a real dud.
00:12:43
So you don't really want to do that.
00:12:45
I kind of like they're jumping because then you don't have the
00:12:48
oh, we all graduated that you just kind of get Oh yeah, we
00:12:51
graduated now here's our life now.
00:12:53
So I think that I like that because it get it's a different,
00:12:56
it's like you're you go in at certain parts of their lives,
00:12:59
which I always find a lot easier than, you know, year by year by
00:13:02
year. But that's neither here nor
00:13:03
there. You know what we should do?
00:13:05
We should go from Hawkins to hyperspace.
00:13:08
Let's talk Jedi futures and galactic resets, shall we?
00:13:11
Oh, yeah, you got to change. There we go.
00:13:13
So they know what we're talking about.
00:13:15
Not everybody listens to us. They just look at the pictures.
00:13:17
Lucasfilms rumored post Skywalker era centers on rays
00:13:22
new Jedi order with a mando verse style Rola.
00:13:25
If Rogu doesn't show up as a tiny battle hardened Jedi
00:13:29
general, we're sending a strongly worded hologram like
00:13:34
that Maad Mothma one in Rebels. You know the one.
00:13:38
All right, give us High Republic aesthetics, Knights of the Old
00:13:42
Republic lore drops, and a Jedi Council that actually reads the
00:13:46
room tacos on the table. Are we genuinely excited about
00:13:50
Ray leading a new Jedi Order, or does this feel like Lucasfilm
00:13:54
trying to retroactively fix the sequel trilogy?
00:13:57
I mean, I guess they both could be true or not.
00:14:00
What's that where one's one would be true?
00:14:02
They're not like exclusive, exclusive.
00:14:05
That doesn't make sense. Never mind you, just go.
00:14:07
They're not mutual. What do you think though?
00:14:09
Yeah, no, I so I don't have an issue with seeing more Ray.
00:14:13
And you know, she was essentially Luke Skywalker for a
00:14:17
new generation. There are kids who love these
00:14:19
movies as much as a lot of like our generation or generations
00:14:23
before. We're not into these movies per
00:14:26
SE. Ray is a lot of a lot of kids.
00:14:30
They they they grew up loving Ray as a character.
00:14:32
And I would love to see more development on on her and seeing
00:14:35
like what she does to lead a new era of Jedi, especially because
00:14:40
I mean, like she kind of like the way she brought herself up
00:14:42
was more like in the Gray area than light and dark.
00:14:46
And I want to see that expanded on a little bit.
00:14:48
More yeah. So I didn't have huge problems
00:14:51
with the sequel trilogy. The only then the prequel
00:14:55
trilogy had some some good parts to me.
00:14:58
Now, granted, I was a original trilogy girl, but I I I'm
00:15:05
excited about it. I want to see where they go with
00:15:07
it. I feel like they put so much
00:15:09
into the Skywalkers that now this like it's like the
00:15:13
Skywalker legacy now. It's not none of the Skywalkers
00:15:17
are really around anymore. It's just Ray and it's whatever
00:15:21
you know, and how Ray is honoring them.
00:15:25
And so I'd like to see what she does and how she interprets it.
00:15:28
And if you know, what would be really cool is if she isn't
00:15:32
like, you know, you get the Luke Skywalker coming back as Force
00:15:35
ghost and going, yeah, no, this is no, this is not a Skywalker
00:15:39
thing. Why are you doing it like this?
00:15:41
And that kind of give and take occasionally with her and Luke,
00:15:45
because they established that. I would love to see something
00:15:47
like that. So I do think that they are
00:15:50
trying to retro like fix it. But I think that Dave Filoni did
00:15:54
that for the prequel trilogy for people and, and the people that
00:15:58
are like, not from like not OG trilogy fans, but the prequel
00:16:04
trilogy fans, they're the ones that seem to have the like hate
00:16:07
the sequel trilogy the most. And it's like, oh, you guys are
00:16:10
aware we were with the prequel trilogy.
00:16:14
And so I just find it very cute. So I find it adorable, actually.
00:16:19
So. So, so something crazy that that
00:16:21
popped up the other day. So someone was talking about how
00:16:25
in the novelization of The Force Awakens they talk about how so
00:16:32
Snoke was not a clone of Palpatine.
00:16:36
Snoke was a clone that was made from Luke's severed hand.
00:16:40
Oh, oh, that's kind of neat. Right now, here's the other
00:16:43
thing. Is that the clone of Palpatine
00:16:46
That was his son? Yeah.
00:16:48
Was also a clone of Luke's hand. So she is technically.
00:16:53
So that's that's what they were saying is that this is how
00:16:56
tangentially they didn't explain in the movies as in the
00:16:58
novelizations, but like tangentially she is technically
00:17:01
a Skywalker because she is the daughter of a clone of Luke
00:17:07
Skywalker's hand. So this is what happens when you
00:17:11
get into cloning. Yeah.
00:17:12
And it's like, it's crazy stuff, right?
00:17:14
Again, it's always Palpatine trying to mess with cloning in
00:17:19
order to get a stronger version of what he's trying to get.
00:17:23
So like, that's, that's what General Grievous was.
00:17:26
General Grievous was him trying to take midichlorians from
00:17:31
Cypher Dias, infuse them in a being that wasn't force
00:17:34
sensitive, that was a warrior but wasn't force sensitive, and
00:17:38
add in cybernetics to try and enhance him.
00:17:41
And that's why Grievous. Grievous was the experiment that
00:17:43
led to Vader. Oh.
00:17:45
Oh, yeah, that's, that's that's established Canon.
00:17:48
This is Grievous was the experiment that Palpatine was
00:17:52
trying to create that led to oh, I've got this half body of
00:17:55
Anakin Skywalker and I want to make these, you know, robot
00:18:00
force user hybrids that I can basically wield more power over
00:18:05
right? Vader was the was the
00:18:09
culmination of what he was trying to create.
00:18:11
Yeah. Well, I mean, yeah.
00:18:12
Yeah. And so the same thing he was
00:18:14
trying to do Force experiments with Luke's hand to create
00:18:17
strong clones of, oh, well, Luke Skywalker, his son is stronger
00:18:21
than than the father. So how do I get a version of
00:18:25
now, how do I do this? But where where where sheaves?
00:18:28
Problem is, is that he's trying to clone a hand that doesn't
00:18:31
have all the midichlorians that that Luke has.
00:18:33
Yeah, it's just got the hand medichlorians.
00:18:36
It doesn't have the rest of it. Exactly.
00:18:37
It's a hand model, so yeah. So it's.
00:18:39
Literally the pinky. Yeah.
00:18:43
So, yeah, I mean, you know, my talk was on the table.
00:18:46
I am excited to see this. I want to see them kind of like
00:18:49
go more into that lore and explain more of that.
00:18:53
Because then, you know, you have all these people who are pissed
00:18:54
off that are like, well, she was never a Skywalker.
00:18:56
Well, technically she is. Yeah.
00:18:58
And with technicalities, she technically is a Skywalker.
00:19:02
And people were probably gonna hate that.
00:19:03
But you know, it is Wow. They're gonna, you know, they're
00:19:05
gonna hate whatever. It doesn't matter what people
00:19:08
do, they're gonna, people are gonna hate something, right?
00:19:11
It seems like that's the new thing.
00:19:12
But not us, because we don't do that.
00:19:15
We don't hate on things. We might complain, but we don't
00:19:18
hate. Right, right, right.
00:19:20
Let's go ahead and move on to the next story here, drop the
00:19:23
lightsabers because we're gonna drop them now and pick up a
00:19:25
crowbar because Gotham is calling Zach Kriger's rumor DCU
00:19:30
debut henchman follows a low level Gotham goon who
00:19:33
accidentally takes down a who accident takes down Batman.
00:19:37
I did who accidentally takes down Batman and becomes a
00:19:40
criminal legend. It's giving Joker meets home
00:19:43
alone with a splash of oops, I'm iconic.
00:19:46
If this guy ends up with a nickname like, you know, the Bat
00:19:49
Tripper, or you know, you know he needs a nickname like the Bat
00:19:52
Tripper or we're gonna riot. So bonus points if Calendar Man
00:19:55
shows up just to complain. Bonus points of Cal, yeah.
00:19:58
Yeah, tacos on the table. Didn't they do this already?
00:20:00
Wasn't this the man who killed Batman?
00:20:02
Remember Sid the Squid accidentally taking out the Bat
00:20:04
and becoming Gotham's most wanted?
00:20:06
Or is that what they're doing right here?
00:20:08
If I'm hoping Zach Crager's henchman is just kind of
00:20:11
rifling, rifling the idea around.
00:20:14
Are we into that? Or, or riffing it.
00:20:15
Yeah, he's riffing it. He's riffing on it.
00:20:17
And are we into that? Do we think that that would be
00:20:20
like a cool idea? Like, oh, hey, we're just gonna
00:20:22
do the man who killed the bat. I love, I loved that episode.
00:20:24
I think that's probably one of my favorite episodes of the
00:20:27
Batman the Animated series. I really love that cuz like the
00:20:31
way that Sid is like, but I didn't mean to, I didn't do it
00:20:35
on purpose. And then like, you know, he's
00:20:37
just like, and then like he gets bigger and bigger and he's just
00:20:40
like, Oh my God. And then he meets Batman again
00:20:42
at the end and Batman's like, you didn't, you didn't Take Me
00:20:45
Out. What the hell?
00:20:45
And he's like, oh, thank goodness.
00:20:47
Can you please just lock me in Arkham Asylum?
00:20:50
Oh my God, it's a great episode. Just.
00:20:52
Lock me away. I'm a I'm a detriment to
00:20:54
society. Yeah, he is just like I, I felt
00:20:56
like he needed like a panic attack medicine because he was
00:21:00
having it. So if they want to do that, I
00:21:03
mean, basically it's a fanfic at this point because I, I think he
00:21:06
just wrote it and I don't even think James Gunn has read it
00:21:09
yet. So I think it's up James Gunn's
00:21:12
alley. So I'm going to put my talkers
00:21:14
on the table for it. Even though it really is kind of
00:21:17
a rehash of, you know, the man who killed Batman, it's still a
00:21:22
compelling story. And I think they have a a lot of
00:21:24
places to go there. I don't know when it'll be done
00:21:27
though, because they haven't even cast a Batman yet.
00:21:30
So, so I'm into it Script so, but I'm calling it what it is.
00:21:34
Okay. You didn't expect me to be done,
00:21:37
did you? No, no, no.
00:21:38
It's like I'm calling it what it is.
00:21:41
I don't need to say it. Everybody knows it's a rehab.
00:21:44
All right. Well, let's go ahead and move
00:21:46
on. Here we got next story coming
00:21:47
up. Did you put your tacos on the
00:21:49
table? I did OK.
00:21:50
All right. From bat blunders to bug suits,
00:21:53
we're swinging into Marvel's messiest neighborhood.
00:21:56
Frank Castle might be leading the hand scorpion suiting up
00:21:59
comic style and Michael Mando's teasing of Venom twists.
00:22:05
If Brand New Day delivers on all of this, it's less friendly
00:22:08
neighborhood and more violent vigilante multiverse.
00:22:12
We're talking Shadow Land vibes, Ultimate Spider Man chaos, and
00:22:16
maybe a nod to Gargon Savage symbiote run from the Dark
00:22:20
Avengers here. Tacos on the table.
00:22:24
Is this the darkest Spidey movie yet or Marvel?
00:22:27
Throw in every street level villain at the wall to see who
00:22:30
sticks. I'm, I'm hoping, I mean, like if
00:22:33
we're gonna get a comic book accurate Matt Gargan, it's gonna
00:22:36
be, it's gonna be so weird to watch him walking around with
00:22:39
this giant scorpion tail, you know, Yeah, it's it's it's gonna
00:22:44
be so weird. But at the same time, like we've
00:22:46
gotten a comic book accurate version of Lizard.
00:22:49
So it's not far fetched to see them do something with Matt
00:22:53
Gargan like that. Venom I'm again, I'm hit or
00:22:57
miss. It's it's they need to do him
00:23:00
right, because we have not gotten we.
00:23:02
I mean, they got close with the last iteration, but it also
00:23:05
didn't have anything to do with like Venom's origin and anything
00:23:09
like that. Like it was a cool take on a new
00:23:11
version of Venom, but it wasn't it wasn't Venom.
00:23:13
And and that's kind of like what I want, you know, like I want
00:23:16
more of that. I would love to see a savage
00:23:19
symbiote with with Matt Gargan and just with all those
00:23:23
different, I mean, there's so many different characters that
00:23:25
we're supposed to be getting Punisher.
00:23:27
It's gonna be interesting to see that because I mean, I think
00:23:29
what they're saying what will, from what I understand, it's
00:23:32
supposed to be Punishers hunting Matt Gargan and Spider Man stops
00:23:35
him from killing him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear that.
00:23:37
And then there's also like, there were rumors about ninjas
00:23:41
and it was like, what? A group has ninjas?
00:23:44
Oh, that's the hand. Oh, maybe we're gonna get, you
00:23:47
know, yeah, It's like, maybe we're gonna get Punisher leads
00:23:49
the hand. I mean he did in the comics, so
00:23:51
it's not like then. They haven't done.
00:23:54
How do they do? TV on the show yet I mean they
00:23:56
they there there's a possibility because he talks about
00:23:59
recruiting an army at the end of the season spoilers for people
00:24:02
who haven't watched the show that's been out for how many
00:24:04
months now but I mean like. It's been a while, it's been a
00:24:07
while. You all should have watched it.
00:24:08
Right. But The thing is, is like, OK,
00:24:10
so if we're going that route and I, I feel like the, the, the
00:24:15
teaser when he said he needs to get an army was that they're
00:24:17
bringing the defenders back, especially now that we know that
00:24:20
Jessica Jones coming back. Like I think that's more of a
00:24:22
defenders thing. But if it's him recruiting the
00:24:25
Hand and in Season 2 it's him leading the hand, that would be
00:24:28
something interesting. Yeah, I'm wondering if they're
00:24:31
going to wait until like he's going to get the defenders 1st
00:24:36
and then, you know, they have that like half season
00:24:38
cliffhanger thing that they like to do now.
00:24:40
Like the halfway through, it's like something is A twist and
00:24:43
then it moves on that the hand comes in towards the back end of
00:24:47
the season and he had he has to decide which evil he wants to
00:24:52
work with to to, you know, to overcome the other evil.
00:24:55
Does he want to work with the hand or does he want to work
00:24:59
with Fisk to get rid of the hand?
00:25:00
You know, like that. And so I think that's
00:25:02
interesting. If they do have punisher with
00:25:06
the hand in this, the punisher could bring the hand into the
00:25:10
second season and then and then that's how the hand comes into
00:25:15
it. And that's when Matt has his,
00:25:18
you know, because he hasn't had any kind of existential crisis
00:25:21
for what, to 2 episodes or something, I don't know.
00:25:25
It's time for him to have another one, obviously.
00:25:27
So I I think that either way I like it.
00:25:30
That whole first season was Matt having an existential crisis.
00:25:34
I know I was being sarcastic. It was, it's meant to be that
00:25:38
he's always having one, right? Always.
00:25:41
I mean like that second season, he's in that frickin church and
00:25:45
like for the whole frickin season basically.
00:25:47
And you're just like, Oh my gosh, can you please get out of
00:25:51
the Catholicism? That's never gonna happen.
00:25:54
It's so embedded in his, like you're never gonna have him get
00:25:58
out of that. But I.
00:25:59
Don't need to have a church. I don't need them to be in a
00:26:01
church every episode. I'm like, dude, come on.
00:26:04
I liked how they handled it in in season 4.
00:26:08
I mean season 1 of Daredevil born again where he goes to the
00:26:12
church, but it's not, you know, he doesn't go in.
00:26:14
It's kind of like, hey, I'm remembering this.
00:26:16
Yes, and we're not talking about it.
00:26:18
Season 3 was like the same thing.
00:26:19
Like towards the end, you know, he finds out that his mom is a,
00:26:23
is a nun and it's just, and she's in the nunnery.
00:26:25
And that becomes like more of like, Oh yeah, more Catholic
00:26:28
overtones and everything is you're never gonna get away with
00:26:31
that with his character. Oh, yeah, absolutely.
00:26:33
But I'm just saying that and you know, here's go ahead.
00:26:35
No, I was saying it's so embedded in, in, in Matt in the
00:26:39
way that he his, his Catholic upbringing is what makes him the
00:26:42
way he is. No, I know I was.
00:26:44
I was joking. That really honestly was a joke
00:26:47
because I love how he is. If he didn't have his Catholic
00:26:50
guilt, he would not be the daredevil that we know.
00:26:53
But he would. No, what I was gonna say is the
00:26:56
most shocking thing about his mom being a nun is that she was
00:27:00
also married for a time to Val Kilmer.
00:27:03
Yeah, Yeah, yeah. She was so well, too bad, so
00:27:07
sad. What's next?
00:27:09
Let's let's go ahead and move on here.
00:27:10
I don't think we put any tacos on any table with that one, but
00:27:14
I don't care. It was fancy.
00:27:15
What? Were we talking here is that
00:27:18
yes, I think this is going to be dark as all hell because again.
00:27:21
Yeah, I think it's going to be super.
00:27:22
Dark, the way that they're describing the way that the
00:27:25
Punisher is going to be in this and that, you know, every
00:27:27
description has been that, you know, it's, it's going to be
00:27:31
Peter trying to stop Punisher from killing somebody.
00:27:34
It's like this is gonna, this is gonna get dark.
00:27:36
It's gonna get, Really. Dark.
00:27:37
Yeah, it's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna be fun for us, but
00:27:40
not for Peter. Yeah, because you're trying to
00:27:43
stop a madman like Frank Castle. It's like, no, Matt couldn't do
00:27:46
it. Yeah, he's gonna do it.
00:27:48
Maybe, maybe Peter's like positive optimism is gonna have
00:27:53
an impact. I can't even finish that
00:27:55
sentence. He's gonna get his ass.
00:27:57
Frank's gonna, he's, Frank's gonna corrupt Peter.
00:28:00
And that might get us to where Peter is ready for the Venom
00:28:05
symbiote. Just FYI, that's something that
00:28:07
I just came up with. You know what?
00:28:08
Let's let's move on, because we're still talking about
00:28:10
symbiotes. Yeah, let's go.
00:28:12
It's you that's. Me.
00:28:13
Oh, that is me. So Speaking of symbiotes with
00:28:16
attitude, is there Rangers joke? Get it?
00:28:18
No, it was stretching Sony's cooking up animated R rated
00:28:23
Venom and Spider Woman spin offs riding the Spider Punk wave.
00:28:27
Seth Rogen's reportedly involved, so expect symbiotes
00:28:30
with sass, chaos, and possibly a bong.
00:28:32
If this leans it into maximum Carnage territory with the heavy
00:28:36
metal animation style, we're in for a glorious mess.
00:28:39
Fingers crossed for a Spider ham cameo that's somehow even darker
00:28:43
because if you've ever red spider ham thing, he eats bacon.
00:28:46
It's weird. Tacos on the table.
00:28:49
Are we in for a glorious mess or a genre defining swing?
00:28:52
Look, if Armie Hammer can like we're.
00:28:56
Going to talk about Armie Hammer and his his cannibalism
00:28:59
allegations. If he can do that and still make
00:29:01
movies in Hollywood, then why can't spider ham have a little
00:29:04
bacon? Bacon is much more delicious
00:29:06
y'all. Not that I've ever had long pig,
00:29:09
but sorry that went so wrong so quickly.
00:29:14
And it was, it's all my fault. And I really appreciate you all
00:29:17
going on that journey with me. I think it's going to be a
00:29:19
glorious mess. I can't wait.
00:29:21
I cannot wait for a spider woman to do all of the weird poses and
00:29:26
everybody get really upset that her butt looks as big as it
00:29:28
does. Do you think we're getting Do
00:29:29
you think we're getting Jessica Drew?
00:29:30
I hope so. I hope it gets.
00:29:32
I have been waiting for Jessica Drew for I don't know how long.
00:29:36
I want her out. I want them to find out she's a
00:29:40
scroll. I want her to have her
00:29:42
redemption art and I I'm sorry. I just love playing her in all
00:29:46
of this. The Avengers video games that
00:29:49
she's in. I love playing her.
00:29:50
I love it. She's like my favorite care.
00:29:52
So bring me Jessica Drew. Yeah, Bring me the head of
00:29:54
Jessica Drew. Bring.
00:29:55
Me, the head of Jessica Drew. I've been, I've been saying I
00:29:58
want to see Jessica Drew. I also want to see, I want to
00:30:00
see Ben. I want to see Ben Riley.
00:30:02
Yeah, really bad. Yeah.
00:30:03
I mean, we got him in spider verse, but I would love to see
00:30:05
like a full on Ben Riley and just Peter freaking out that
00:30:08
there's a clone of him somewhere.
00:30:09
Yeah, and, and Peter would freak out about that.
00:30:12
I mean, especially I would love to see Tom Hollands like Spider
00:30:16
Man's reaction, like his just his Tobey Maguire would be way
00:30:20
too cool about it. Andrew Garfield would be like
00:30:22
cloning. Oh, scientifically, that's an
00:30:24
interesting study. And he would like totally like
00:30:27
egghead it. But Tom Hollands, Peter, Yeah,
00:30:30
he would be like, you did what? How did you get my DNA?
00:30:33
What is going on? Aunt May?
00:30:35
Oh, no, she said did you get my DNA from Aunt May after she
00:30:38
died? What the.
00:30:39
You know, I mean he would full panic mode and I want it.
00:30:43
This is like that old movie The Eraser.
00:30:45
He would just, he would just piss off all the millennials in
00:30:47
in there like. Yeah.
00:30:50
Oh man, I knew you were watching me.
00:30:53
OK, now let's raise the stakes and the undead.
00:30:58
Oh wait, did you say? I, I said enough.
00:31:01
I already said that, you know, I, I, I, I mean, just Drew would
00:31:04
be great. I, I would, I, I said this last
00:31:07
week and it's like, or maybe like 2 weeks ago.
00:31:11
I'm just interested in seeing what Seth Rogen's gonna do with
00:31:13
this. And yeah, he does something.
00:31:15
If they go Maximum Carnage, I am going to lose my shit because I,
00:31:20
I want them to go full comic book Maximum Carnage.
00:31:22
I want to see Hobgoblin, I want to see Doppelganger, I want to
00:31:26
see Shriek. I want to see all the characters
00:31:29
that, that Riddle, that series of books.
00:31:32
And I want the iconic if if you read that that book series, I
00:31:37
want that icon tonic venom hanging from the Statue of
00:31:42
Liberty. Oh yeah, I remember that.
00:31:44
When when Carnage beat the crap out of him and he tied him up
00:31:47
and hung him from the Statue of Liberty.
00:31:48
Oh yeah, that. Yeah, so like I that.
00:31:51
Would be amazing. Yeah, 'cause I I want to see
00:31:53
that. I want to see and I want to see
00:31:55
an unhinged, monstrous carnage. I want to see the carnage that
00:32:00
believes that he believes in chaos theory and believes that
00:32:03
the only way for order to exist is for chaos to exist and he's
00:32:07
an agent of chaos. He creates disorder so that
00:32:09
there can be order and he just has this weird, you know,
00:32:13
unhinged look at society and how things should work.
00:32:17
Yeah, I know. He's kind of like Lex.
00:32:19
God, he's he's he's Lex if Lex were in the body of a serial
00:32:24
killer. I mean, Lex kind of is in an
00:32:26
extent, but he's not like an implicit serial killer the way
00:32:29
that Cletus Cassidy is let. Him, cook, let him.
00:32:32
Yeah, because Cletus Cassidy is a is a sociopath to the NTH
00:32:35
degree. That's yeah, that's true.
00:32:38
Well, you know, we're not going to figure this out tonight, so
00:32:40
now let's raise the stakes. And the undead.
00:32:43
Oh yeah. Thor, Black Panther and Namo
00:32:47
join the undead roster in Marvel's TVMA zombie series, led
00:32:52
by Scarlet Witch as the dead queen.
00:32:55
It's The Avengers, but they're hungry and not for justice.
00:32:59
I think it's brain. I'm sure, sure it's brain.
00:33:01
If they pull from the Marvel Zombies 3 arc, we might get
00:33:06
Machine Man slicing through Dead Cat with 0 chill.
00:33:11
Also Zombie Thor better still be worthy just to make it weird
00:33:16
tacos on the table. Is this Marvel's glorious swing
00:33:19
yet, or just a Halloween special with extra tea?
00:33:24
I I'm excited for this just because it's something different
00:33:28
and it's it's a take that, you know, the comic run was really,
00:33:32
really just weird and, you know, out of left field.
00:33:35
But I enjoyed it, you know, I mean, maybe it's because
00:33:38
Deadpool had such a big role in it too.
00:33:40
So it's kind of like, you know, yeah, there's there's like the
00:33:43
almost like famous thing of Deadpool being walked around
00:33:49
like the zombies from from The Walking Dead, but he's like
00:33:53
sitting there annoying people. Yeah, yeah.
00:33:55
No, you know, I, I'm not a fan of zombies.
00:33:58
I'm not, I'm not a horror fan. I'm not.
00:34:00
It's weird because every time I say that, then I'm like, well, I
00:34:03
have watched all of these. I've I've now I've watched all
00:34:07
The Conjuring series and I'm still not a fan of horror guys.
00:34:10
Still not I've. I just watch a lot of stuff,
00:34:13
really. That's it.
00:34:15
But I it's an interesting idea. I agree with you on that.
00:34:19
I do think it's a big swing, but if we look back at the animated
00:34:23
stuff that that the MCU has done up to this point, they're all
00:34:27
big swings. So like the eyes of Wakanda or
00:34:30
what if like what if was so cool and we knew going into it, oh,
00:34:35
hey, this isn't going to impact anything in 616.
00:34:39
So we can just enjoy this. We don't have to like, oh, what
00:34:42
did you see? Did you see an Easter egg?
00:34:44
Oh my God, does this mean this is happening?
00:34:45
Is this happening? You know, because we knew it
00:34:48
wasn't going to. These were other universes, so I
00:34:51
think but but what it did do is it primed us or prepped us for
00:34:56
the multiverse saga. So I'm wondering if Marvel
00:35:01
zombies is preparing us because they did it a little in in
00:35:06
Doctor Strange mom, but I'm wondering if it isn't priming us
00:35:10
for the more horror aspects because we've got we got man
00:35:15
thing now we got werewolf by night.
00:35:18
We're getting more into the horror aspects.
00:35:20
Blade supposedly is coming. I don't know.
00:35:23
We keep hearing about it, but I have no idea.
00:35:25
But there's a lot of stuff. I mean, even the Black Knight is
00:35:28
not very mystical. And part of that horror thing,
00:35:30
Ghost Riders been talked about horror, mysticism.
00:35:33
I think this could be just priming us for that, getting us
00:35:36
ready for oh, hey, guess what? There's gonna be zombies, we're
00:35:39
gonna have vampires, there's a werewolf.
00:35:42
You know, monsters are cool now, you know, So I think that's
00:35:47
that's where they're going and I like it so.
00:35:49
Yeah, now my tacos are on the table.
00:35:51
We just because I I really think that they are, they're gonna go
00:35:55
full swing in this. They are going full gore,
00:35:57
they're going full horror because I think they've been
00:35:59
leading to it for a while. And I think that this is their
00:36:02
horror light leading, you know, being that they can get away
00:36:05
with a lot more in animation than they can with live action.
00:36:07
And, and they know, yeah, they know that they can.
00:36:09
So I feel like they are trying to see how far can they get that
00:36:15
go down the road before they start bringing in actual horror
00:36:18
characters. Right.
00:36:19
Yeah, And I like Eyes of Wakanda being more historical, like, you
00:36:23
know, an anthology wise. Like it has that really thin
00:36:26
thread through it because it's all war dogs, spoiler alert.
00:36:30
But it's the same way. It doesn't really impact
00:36:34
anything going forward. What it shows is what happened
00:36:39
to make sure that are that that what happened and what kind of
00:36:43
happened. That's really it.
00:36:45
But other than that, like cute little like nod it, there's not
00:36:49
anything else in there that you're like, Oh, well, you know,
00:36:51
that has a big impact on the story going forward.
00:36:54
It really doesn't. So I do feel like the the
00:36:57
animation isn't to move the story forward, but I think it is
00:37:00
to prepare us for things. And so I feel like like all of
00:37:04
that, like that's how they're using the animation.
00:37:06
And I have to say it's pretty clever.
00:37:08
So do I guess I could tip my imaginary hat.
00:37:12
Oh, wait, I have a hat. Hold on.
00:37:13
I'm putting that on over my thing.
00:37:15
I tip my hat to you, Brad Wenderbaum.
00:37:18
Nice, nice. I dig it.
00:37:20
Well, that is it for that is it for the rumors guys?
00:37:23
So let's let's jump into the next portion here guys.
00:37:28
We got some news to talk about, so let's jump into all of that.
00:37:33
It's time for the download. Of course for.
00:37:43
More news, trailers, reactions. Check out the Distance
00:37:47
Nerdington Post. Let us know what you're nerding
00:37:49
out on. I got to it before you.
00:37:52
You definitely did. So we were starting to go at the
00:37:54
same time. Well, this is casting cash,
00:37:58
cash. Our hearts are quickening this
00:38:01
week with all the casting. So like that, the Quickening?
00:38:04
Yeah, yeah. I did.
00:38:05
I did like the quickening. First up, Dave Batista, swinging
00:38:08
for two cult classic at one. He's set to clash swords with
00:38:13
Henry Cavill as the Kurgan and Highlander, then trade blades
00:38:18
for fists in Roadhouse 2, teaming with Jake Gyllenhaal
00:38:21
under Nobody's Ilya Nyshuller, Immortal Rage, and bar room
00:38:26
brawls. Batista's got range.
00:38:28
I actually like it, and I actually really like this
00:38:30
picture because it kind of shows very like a similar
00:38:35
comfortableness with their bodies.
00:38:37
Like you know how Clancy Brown is really, he looks like he's
00:38:40
really sitting in that armor and how Dave Batista is just sitting
00:38:44
in his body. It's very similar.
00:38:46
I like it. I'm sorry for those of you who
00:38:48
haven't watched the YouTube one, but the picture is amazing.
00:38:51
I, I imagine, like I can imagine what Dave Batista is going to
00:38:55
look, look like because, you know, they're going to update
00:38:57
that armor. It's going to look, Oh yeah, a
00:38:58
lot more formidable. Not that that Clancy Brown's
00:39:01
armor wasn't formidable, but I mean like it was an 80s movie
00:39:05
and a lot of times like the armor seems a little clunky.
00:39:07
Yeah. I wonder if it's going to be
00:39:09
more like leather on leather and maybe a little like things cut
00:39:13
out a little more. I mean, he's what the Kurt the
00:39:17
Kurgan's supposed to be what, Carpathian?
00:39:20
Yeah. So then that would be more
00:39:21
leather to me. So I'm wondering if they're
00:39:24
going to not do the, the, the metal, like the, you know, metal
00:39:28
as much and it might be a little bit more leather and he's gonna
00:39:30
have a really cool, like very big headdress type thing.
00:39:35
But I think he's so good. He can be really terrifying when
00:39:38
he wants to be. And I think that that's why he
00:39:41
got the role. I mean, I think he can do it.
00:39:42
There's something about his subtleness and kind of like the
00:39:45
way that he can, he can, he can, he can play kind of like Quiet
00:39:50
Storm really well. Yeah, yeah.
00:39:52
You know, but then he can also like when Drax remember when
00:39:55
Drax would like get into his. I'm so sorry.
00:39:57
Go ahead, go ahead, I'll no, you're fine go ahead.
00:39:59
I'll say it after no, I apologize, like cut you off.
00:40:02
I was done. You're good all right.
00:40:04
So when Drax got like would get into those rages, like when he
00:40:08
was going after Thanos and stuff and you couldn't stop him.
00:40:11
He he mean, granted he was green and red, so he wasn't as
00:40:15
terrifying as he could be, but he was terrifying.
00:40:18
He was like, you know, you were like.
00:40:19
Oh, you got to stop him. He's going to kill someone.
00:40:21
Dude's going to kill someone. And.
00:40:22
And that's what you need for the Kurgan.
00:40:24
And not everybody knows the Kurgan and not everybody knows
00:40:27
Highlander. And I have to say this, I'm very
00:40:30
disappointed in all of you. If you have never seen
00:40:32
Highlander and you know who hasn't Should do.
00:40:35
I'm going to have to get him to watch it.
00:40:36
Yeah, I'm disappointed in him. Now I have to have him watch it
00:40:38
because it is such an interesting movie.
00:40:42
The concept was so interesting. You really never had that
00:40:46
before. So I just think it's cool and
00:40:48
I'm glad they're rebooting it. And I think Henry going to be
00:40:50
great, and I think Dave Batista is going to be great.
00:40:52
And that's all I have to say about that.
00:40:53
All right. Oh, wait.
00:40:54
So there's more. I have another one.
00:40:56
From brute force to existential dread.
00:40:58
Sebastian Stan is going full duality in Radu Jude's
00:41:02
Frankenstein. In Romania.
00:41:04
He'll play both Victor Frankenstein and the Creature in
00:41:07
a story that blends gothic horror with CIA prison history.
00:41:11
It's bold, bizarre, and maybe Stan's most daring role yet.
00:41:15
That's interesting. I think that's interesting.
00:41:17
Yeah, I feel like, I want to say when I first like, read about
00:41:21
this and that's why I put this in here, because I had something
00:41:23
else here, but I liked it and I was like, I want to talk about
00:41:26
this. He it's like Winter Soldier
00:41:28
smashed with Frank and stuff. It's going to be because.
00:41:30
It's got that government, yes, that got that government like,
00:41:34
oh, government prison history. Well, he, you know, Winter
00:41:37
Soldier was in like, you know, on ice literally in Siberia.
00:41:41
So I just feel like it's a good, it would be a good role for him.
00:41:43
And I think it would be something interesting for him to
00:41:45
play and aside we may not have seen in a while.
00:41:48
Yeah, I didn't know somebody else is making Frankenstein
00:41:50
movie because, I mean, Guillermo del Toro is literally working on
00:41:53
one right now. Yeah, I, I, you know, we go
00:41:55
through these cycles. You remember it was Dracula
00:41:58
back, what, 20 years ago? Everybody was into vampires.
00:42:01
And, you know, now it's Frankenstein's turn.
00:42:02
Next, it'll be the Mummy again. And who knows, maybe we'll get a
00:42:05
Creature of the Black Lagoon out of this at some point.
00:42:08
We should. Closest thing we definitely
00:42:10
should. Closest thing we got was Gamma
00:42:12
del Toro. That's true.
00:42:14
Just give it to give it to del Toro.
00:42:16
Just give it to him. Just give it to him.
00:42:17
All right, so next, a long rumored arrival finally lands.
00:42:22
Matt Smith is officially joining the Star Wars Galaxy.
00:42:25
He'll play a cold blooded military general in Starfighter,
00:42:30
A standalone film set five years after Rise of Skywalker.
00:42:34
No force powers, just tactical menace.
00:42:37
Smiths bring in brains of brutality to a cast that
00:42:40
includes Ryan Gosling and Mia Goth.
00:42:42
I really want to see Ryan Gosling and Matt Smith, like in
00:42:47
a scene together where they're on opposite sides.
00:42:50
I would. I just think that is going to be
00:42:52
spectacular. I'm, I'm curious about that
00:42:56
chemistry and just kind of how well they work on screen.
00:42:59
And then I'm also like, well, so how does Mia got fit into this?
00:43:02
Is she really a villain? Is she like a go between the
00:43:05
villain and the hero? It really brings a little bit
00:43:08
more depth to it. I'm glad they they're putting
00:43:10
him in there because I know originally wasn't he supposed to
00:43:13
play like a a clone, a Palpatine or something?
00:43:16
I think he was, yeah, in prize, yeah, something like that.
00:43:19
So I'm glad he's getting his start.
00:43:20
Star Wars almost said Star Trek whoo Star Wars Cherry pop so and
00:43:26
closing out with the fiery anime upgrade.
00:43:29
I'm excited about this one. I.
00:43:30
Have never seen any of this in my life, so you'll have to do
00:43:33
most of the talking. It's Channing Tatum, is it OK?
00:43:36
Channing Tatum and Rebecca Wang are stepping into the Dean Demon
00:43:40
Slayer dub. Tatum voices Kazo, a martial
00:43:44
arts master from Akaza's tragic past, while Wang plays his
00:43:48
daughter Koyuki #12 and the emotional damage is incoming.
00:43:52
It absolutely is. There is so.
00:43:54
Much emotion but like the action in this show is it's just it's
00:44:00
it's like all determination it is all the the main character
00:44:05
Tanjiro who's the the one that's on the screen right now Tanjiro
00:44:09
Commodo his his his like superpower, I guess 'cause it's
00:44:13
like they don't really have superpowers kind of but like his
00:44:15
superpower is that he just doesn't give up you know like
00:44:18
his whole thing is they're they're was like an entire fight
00:44:21
sequence that happens where they break like almost every bone in
00:44:24
his body and he keeps getting up I like Novocaine kind of yeah
00:44:28
but I mean like. He's in pain, he's in like.
00:44:29
Agonizing pain and he's just like, I can't give up.
00:44:33
Like he's just like, because this whole thing is if I give
00:44:35
up, everyone dies, you know? I mean, that's some, that's some
00:44:38
like major. Hero's journey kind of stuff,
00:44:40
yeah. You know, and I mean it's.
00:44:43
Very obvious the way that they're kind of going what were
00:44:46
Four Seasons in so like the way that they're going with all this
00:44:48
is that he's some kind of chosen one, but they haven't like
00:44:51
explained what the chosen one would be if there was one.
00:44:55
Ah, OK. All right, so last.
00:44:57
Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Yeah, they keep because you can
00:45:00
see the scar. On his forehead, more Wheel of
00:45:02
Time. Yeah, you can see the.
00:45:03
Scar on his forehead, They. They reference these scars and
00:45:08
kind of like what they are every now and then, but like almost
00:45:10
nobody knows like what it is. They know that there's
00:45:13
significance to it, but they don't know what it actually
00:45:15
means. OK, so Say Long has some stuff
00:45:17
to say. Because, you know, he's got
00:45:18
stuff to say. So let's look at.
00:45:20
Let's look at his first. Yeah.
00:45:21
Most of the reaction is shock. Yeah.
00:45:23
No. And a lot of it is that he's.
00:45:25
Just in pure shock when he's in all this pain because he's just,
00:45:28
he's just moving himself along. And then?
00:45:31
And then he says why? Is he doing this?
00:45:33
It's beneath him, etc. So he was he, he's just
00:45:36
commenting on stuff that you were saying.
00:45:37
So. Which I think is great, you
00:45:39
know, stay long. I kind of did this for you
00:45:41
because I know you really like anime.
00:45:43
Yeah, but I'm also I'm a big fan of.
00:45:46
Of Demon Slayer and and I love that the last season, rather
00:45:51
than doing the last season as a show, they're done.
00:45:54
I believe they're doing a series of like 2 movies.
00:45:56
Yeah. I thought it was really
00:45:57
interesting that it says it. Kicks off in theater September
00:46:00
12. So I mean that's right there
00:46:02
like in its next month so that's kind of cool.
00:46:05
So I'm again, I'm very, I'm very.
00:46:07
Excited for this, very interested.
00:46:09
I want to see what the next chapter goes, you know, I want
00:46:12
to know if he actually if he kills Kibbutzuji or if he if
00:46:17
like, you know, in the end, in the at the end of the story, you
00:46:20
know, he doesn't succeed and Kibbutzuji wins and it continues
00:46:23
on. Like, you know, I I'm interested
00:46:25
in these stories where you have this entire hero's journey, but
00:46:28
then it ends in tragedy. I mean, but that's that.
00:46:31
I mean, that's like. That that is Asian cultures like
00:46:34
they, it doesn't always end pretty right like that.
00:46:37
That's a totally like Western culture thing.
00:46:41
Eastern cultures are like, no, no, this is meant to give you
00:46:44
pause and make you think about stuff and not do crazy things.
00:46:48
So I I get it. But yeah, no, I I love it.
00:46:50
But you know, I have a question for you.
00:46:52
Do you think Dave and Matt would wear our merch?
00:46:55
Because we got merch people. We got merch people.
00:47:00
Yeah, that's right. We got merch.
00:47:01
Oh, wait a minute. Hold on.
00:47:02
Too soon I got you. Again, why do you have to do
00:47:06
that to me? Why every time it?
00:47:07
Amuses me every every week. You do this to me and.
00:47:10
It's I'm amused. Oh, I got like what?
00:47:14
Not you would say sarcasm. Oh, I enjoy.
00:47:19
OK. I enjoyed that.
00:47:22
Oh, you said. Oh.
00:47:23
Baby vampire, you shut up. Baby vampire.
00:47:26
Oh, Jesus. All right, love that.
00:47:27
Let's. Let's let's move on, you know,
00:47:31
and just throwing this out there.
00:47:32
You know that in on the game streams on twitch, when I do do
00:47:38
the game streams, we have what's his name?
00:47:42
It's one of the main vampires. Like there are so many vampires,
00:47:45
not Dracula. No, no in in what we do in the.
00:47:48
Shadows. OH, Laszlo.
00:47:50
Laszlo we have. Is it Matt Berry?
00:47:52
Yeah, we have Laszlo's voice. On there so you can make Laszlo.
00:47:54
Say, oh, that's hilarious. Yeah, he's I love.
00:47:56
Matt Berry, I've liked him since IT Crowd, although apparently he
00:48:00
was in something else that that Chuck really liked that I like
00:48:03
at all. It's bad.
00:48:05
And it's got Richard Ayawate in it.
00:48:08
I can't remember what it's called, though, but it's not.
00:48:11
Anyway, let's move on. Let's let's go to a quick bite.
00:48:15
You want me to do this one? Yeah, I actually did watch this
00:48:17
back. Oh, I know.
00:48:19
TJ Hooker. Come on now.
00:48:20
OK. We're kicking things off.
00:48:22
With a reboot no one saw coming and a sidekick William Shatner
00:48:27
can't do, Netflix is reviving TJ Hooker.
00:48:31
Yes, the William Shatner cop show as an action comedy movie.
00:48:35
Expect retro vibes, iconic must Archers, and probably a few meta
00:48:40
jokes about 80s TV tropes. Oh, we hope.
00:48:44
If this ends with the slow MO car slide and a lens flare,
00:48:48
we'll know. JJ Abrams consulted.
00:48:52
Man, it's one of those things where I don't know if we needed
00:48:55
this, but at the same time we probably need this.
00:48:57
When I told Husby about it, he. Said no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
00:49:02
no, no. Why, Why are they doing this?
00:49:06
That is exactly what he said. We were on the phone and I told
00:49:09
him about it. He was like no, no, no, no, no.
00:49:12
Why are they doing this? TJ Hooker, the originator of
00:49:16
the. Car slide.
00:49:16
It's just, oh man, this is. This is the man who originated
00:49:20
the car slide which I. Forgot what movie it was, but
00:49:23
they one of the characters in the movie goes, Oh yeah, I've
00:49:26
always wanted to do this. And he goes to go do a car slide
00:49:28
and his gun holster scratches the paint on the car.
00:49:30
And he was like, that's why we don't do car slides because that
00:49:33
happens, right? And then there's been some like.
00:49:36
Parodies of it where they're like, oh, I'm gonna do the card
00:49:38
slide and then they try to and then it just goes and it's just
00:49:43
like, OK. But the T the.
00:49:45
TJ Hooker, that, that's who you have to thank for that, right?
00:49:48
TJ Hooker Adrian Zamed was in that From Greece to Y'all.
00:49:53
Right, let's continue on here. From throwback patrol cars to
00:49:57
modern movie theaters, AMC theatres is responding to studio
00:50:02
complaints and audience fatigue by shortening its pre show
00:50:05
Adblock. Studios reportedly pushed back
00:50:08
on trailers being buried under 20 minutes of promos.
00:50:11
Finally, an answer to the Adal age-old question.
00:50:14
How many Nicole Kidman monologues does it take to start
00:50:16
fucking movie this? You know, they shortened it,
00:50:20
Yeah. This annoyed little living.
00:50:22
Crap out of me because it was just kind of like, OK, cool I'm
00:50:25
gonna like when I went to go see Superman right there was 45
00:50:28
minutes of ads and it's like I get it you guys want to get paid
00:50:33
back for all this money that you're not getting anymore It's
00:50:36
it's your Netflix in the theater but it really yeah, really
00:50:40
pissed me off That is like that's just a waste of my time.
00:50:43
You know play your ads before when everybody's getting in the
00:50:47
theater. You know how like all the
00:50:48
theaters now will do their whole you know, movie or nuvi and and
00:50:52
you know they do their little trivia and all that play your
00:50:54
ads at that time and then give me trailers at the time the
00:50:58
movie is supposed to start and then go to the movie.
00:51:00
I don't want all your thousands of ads and now I have to wait 45
00:51:04
minutes for this movie to start that's just wasting my time So
00:51:07
I'm happy that they're shortening it I'm sure they got
00:51:10
enough complaints not just from the studios but from everybody
00:51:14
everybody in the theater getting pissed off about it.
00:51:16
Oh yeah. Well, and they were going.
00:51:19
To have more ads like that was the thing we, I got it because
00:51:23
I'm part of like the AMC, like premiere, whatever, stubs member
00:51:27
or whatever. And so I get emails and stuff
00:51:29
and it's like, Hey, we're going to add more ads.
00:51:32
So we're just telling you like, you know, if you don't want to
00:51:34
see those just come like at this time and then you'll, you'll
00:51:37
have that. And I'm like, no, no, no, no.
00:51:39
And you heard about my Fantastic Four epic journey.
00:51:42
So and so I saw ads, we were there before the movie and we
00:51:47
saw ads and then we didn't get to see the movie and waited a
00:51:50
couple hours to see and, you know, to see it at a different
00:51:54
on a different theater, like a different, you know, screen and
00:51:56
then saw the ads again and and then got to see the movie.
00:52:00
So I was like, I was seeing a lot of ads today.
00:52:03
So I am very happy that they're doing this.
00:52:05
But but no, I've I love AMC. They did a so right with all the
00:52:10
Fantastic Four issues and we got to see the movie.
00:52:14
We got free pass and they refunded us the money.
00:52:17
So I was like, guys rock, yeah, I love you.
00:52:20
I didn't kiss him in the mouth, but you know, I I probably would
00:52:23
have at some point. I was pretty crazy and sugared
00:52:26
up at that point. Lucky you.
00:52:29
Let's let's go ahead and move on here.
00:52:31
Let's head to the streaming graveyard.
00:52:34
Oh, I should say that a little bit.
00:52:35
Or, oh, I shouldn't be happy about this.
00:52:37
Disney Plus has canceled Goosebumps after two seasons.
00:52:41
Despite solid viewership and nostalgic appeal, the show
00:52:44
didn't make the cut for Disney's evolving streaming strategy.
00:52:48
Somewhere, Slappy the Dummy is plotting revenge in a timly lit
00:52:52
hat. What's Disney's strategy?
00:52:54
I don't. I don't.
00:52:54
Understand what their strategy is supposed to be because it's
00:52:58
like hey, we're gonna take a popular property we're gonna
00:53:02
reboot it we're gonna do it in a way that is both critically and
00:53:07
by the viewership is is enjoyed and then you cancel it because
00:53:12
it's not part of your stream. What what is your streaming
00:53:14
strategy? I don't get it.
00:53:15
This is just Marvel and didn't marvel and and Star Wars and
00:53:19
your in house Disney stuff like get it right yeah, I don't know
00:53:23
I. Know we're going to talk about
00:53:24
this more in our long discussion because I know that there's some
00:53:27
Disney stuff in that so I know we'll get into it more.
00:53:30
I'm not sure they have a strategy.
00:53:32
I don't know that anyone does I think their strategy is to make
00:53:35
money and they're like, you know we gave this time we don't want
00:53:39
to we don't give money to this anymore.
00:53:40
We want to give money to something else and I feel like
00:53:42
that's not the way to do it but I mean whatever sounds like a
00:53:46
decision. Yeah, it's it's a we we want
00:53:48
now, not long term plan, but whatever.
00:53:51
All right, so let's move to the next drama.
00:53:54
I'm going to get into some some. Controversy here because
00:53:57
Speaking of Disney drama, Gina Carano has reached a settlement
00:54:01
with Disney over her firing from The Mandalorian.
00:54:04
The deal reportedly includes future job offers on the table,
00:54:08
and Carano has broken her silence, calling the resolution
00:54:11
a step or a step toward healing. Cara Dunes return.
00:54:15
Stranger things have happened. Just ask Darth Maul's torso.
00:54:18
I don't know why I couldn't say torso correctly there.
00:54:21
It's still painful for you, I understand.
00:54:23
The torso and that he lost. Against Padme.
00:54:26
Yes. Very painful.
00:54:27
Yeah, I know this this whole thing.
00:54:30
I I don't know how to feel about this because it's kind of like,
00:54:32
OK, cool. You you got fired because of
00:54:36
your mouth. You got fired because of the
00:54:38
things that you were saying. And then you got mad because it
00:54:41
was like my freedom of speech. No, you didn't go to jail.
00:54:43
So your freedom of speech was not being infringed in any way,
00:54:47
right. That's not freedom of speech
00:54:48
works, Gina. I know I'm a nobody and you're a
00:54:51
giant star, but I mean, that is not how freedom of speech works.
00:54:55
Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences.
00:54:58
OK, If you worked at McDonald's and you started preaching about
00:55:02
how my people are experiencing A Holocaust and because because of
00:55:08
your political views, no, you would get fired because you
00:55:10
can't talk about that stuff. It's inappropriate to talk about
00:55:13
that stuff. Disney had a right to fire you
00:55:15
because you kept opening your mouth and saying dumb things,
00:55:19
OK? They have a right as an as an
00:55:21
organization to fire someone that works for them if you
00:55:24
continuously continue to do things.
00:55:26
I get so many people thought that that was the only reason
00:55:28
she got fired, and it wasn't. She kept doing it and they kept
00:55:31
telling her to stop or we're going to let you go.
00:55:34
It was to the point that Pedro Pascal had to tell her, dude,
00:55:37
stop. And she kept doing it.
00:55:39
And it was the Holocaust comments that were the last
00:55:41
straw. And we're like, dude, you can't
00:55:43
work for us anymore, right? But now everybody's
00:55:46
capitulating. We're going to go back to that
00:55:48
word that James didn't understand.
00:55:50
All these different corporations are capitulating because they
00:55:53
they want to kiss the ring. And hey, you know, how's the way
00:55:57
to show good faith that we're on your side?
00:56:00
Let's let's, you know, make a settlement with Gina Carano?
00:56:02
She can and we'll guarantee her jobs in the future, right?
00:56:06
That's to me, it's like, if if you hire her because she's the
00:56:09
right fit, that's one thing, right?
00:56:11
But if you fired her because she doesn't fit, kind of like she
00:56:15
doesn't fit with what your company image is.
00:56:17
And you're like, you know what, You know, you, you need to clean
00:56:20
up your act. And I'm sure they probably put
00:56:22
that in there was like, we'll give you job offers as long as
00:56:24
you keep it clean. You just shut your mouth and
00:56:26
don't you know, Yeah, talk about these kind of things, right?
00:56:29
It's like, cool, have your positions.
00:56:31
There are plenty of actors who hold unpopular opinions, but
00:56:35
don't put it out there where they're losing work.
00:56:38
You know what I mean? Yeah, Now I, I will agree with
00:56:40
her on the other end where it's like the people who do speak on
00:56:45
the side of, of people who do agree on that side, you know,
00:56:49
like people don't want meaning, like, you know, she's on the
00:56:52
right, people on the left. The consequences should be
00:56:54
similar, right? Just because you shouldn't be
00:56:56
putting politics in, in anything that's out there.
00:56:59
And I get it, you want to put everything on social media, but
00:57:02
when you're working for a company, don't, don't, don't,
00:57:04
don't risk your job. Don't yeah, put things out there
00:57:08
that are inflaming, you know, that are going to piss off one
00:57:13
side or the other. So I, I agree with you.
00:57:15
I I do. Think that it, you know, I think
00:57:18
it came down to Disney just wanted it to go away.
00:57:21
And I believe that maybe I'm just a naive summer child, but I
00:57:27
believe that they put in her contract.
00:57:30
Yeah, we will offer you roles, but I'm wondering exactly how
00:57:34
good those roles are going to be.
00:57:36
I'm wondering, wondering if it if the price point is going to
00:57:39
be to her liking. I'm wondering if they're going
00:57:42
to offer her roles and she's going to turn them down and then
00:57:44
they're going to be like, well, we offered you roles and you
00:57:46
keep turning them down. So you know, and then she's all
00:57:50
right, we're done. Then she's going to complain
00:57:52
about how well they're offering me.
00:57:53
Derivative roles. And they're offering me this and
00:57:55
they're offering me, you know, things that are, that are less
00:57:58
than what I feel I, I deserve. And it's like, well, no.
00:58:01
And then they can come back and say.
00:58:03
We're offering you roles. Commiserate to your talent
00:58:07
because she plays badass women, but she in her real life can't
00:58:13
take that. She can't say things and get
00:58:17
away with it because she's a badass woman.
00:58:19
No sweetie, you're a woman in a patriarchy.
00:58:23
So maybe think about the other women that have suffered so that
00:58:28
you can say those things on X or wherever and then and if you get
00:58:34
fired from a company that has nothing to do with with free
00:58:37
speech, go whine about it somewhere else.
00:58:41
Because I'm done with her. I think that she is not a good
00:58:45
person. I will not go out of my way to
00:58:49
say anything nice about her. And to be honest, I didn't even
00:58:55
want to do this story because I didn't want to give her more
00:58:57
time in the spotlight. I feel like she's reaching for
00:59:00
16 and she's been trying a long time and she complained her way
00:59:05
into money so that she can get her hair dyed weird because her
00:59:09
hair looks horrible right now and just.
00:59:12
And she didn't have anything else.
00:59:14
I haven't seen her in anything else.
00:59:16
Have you seen her in anything else since you got fired?
00:59:18
I haven't. I haven't seen her in anything.
00:59:21
But she has been on things. She's been on these weird right
00:59:25
wing, you know, websites and stuff like that.
00:59:28
She's on, she's on like Charlie Kirk's like little movie
00:59:31
attempts and stuff like that. She's she's in like that arena
00:59:33
where like, you know, she can only get exactly far right
00:59:36
movies. So.
00:59:38
She's in the Dean. Kane, Kevin.
00:59:40
Sorbo sphere now, yes. Yeah, absolutely.
00:59:42
That's exactly where she's at. Yeah.
00:59:44
So all I'm saying is if. She does come back to the
00:59:47
Mandalorian. I'm bet they kill her off pretty
00:59:49
quick. I don't.
00:59:50
I think Disney is has smarter lawyers, as we've seen with the
00:59:55
floor a thing, but has smarter lawyers than probably she had.
01:00:00
And I'm betting the contract that she thinks is a sweetheart
01:00:03
deal is not as sweetheart as she thinks it is.
01:00:06
That's all I'm saying. Because let's face it, Bob Iger
01:00:09
may not have a plan for Disney, but he sure knows how to hire
01:00:13
lawyers. Oh yeah, absolutely.
01:00:15
Last comment. I'm gonna make before we move on
01:00:17
to the next story cause we've, we've spent too much time on
01:00:19
this one. But Dean Cain is Overman.
01:00:22
K, guys, he's not Superman. He's Overman.
01:00:24
You don't know who Overman is. Google Overman and it'll make
01:00:27
all all, all the sense in the world.
01:00:28
Yeah, let's go ahead and move on to the next story here.
01:00:31
Don't get me started about Dean Cain Shorty.
01:00:33
Like I said, he's over man. He's not Superman.
01:00:35
He's. Over, man.
01:00:36
Look up. Over man.
01:00:37
DC you guys will know. You will immediately.
01:00:40
You'll probably laugh because it's gonna be like, oh, no,
01:00:42
yeah, OK. I see why he said that.
01:00:43
From legal settlements to legendary.
01:00:45
Savers, the original screen used Darth Vader lightsaber from
01:00:50
Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi is going to auction
01:00:54
for one to $3. That's one expensive glow stick.
01:00:59
But hey, it did cut off Luke's hand, and half the galaxy's hope
01:01:03
absolutely did. This is insane the amount of
01:01:08
money that it's going for. But I mean, it makes sense
01:01:10
because it's the screen used Vader Saber.
01:01:12
You know, it's only going to be the elite nerds that are going
01:01:14
to buy that. Yeah, and it's going to be
01:01:16
battle worn and it's probably. Not going to work right because
01:01:19
I mean Vader used it. You also have to remember in,
01:01:22
in, in. The IRL right it is.
01:01:24
It is not a usable lightsaber. It is the original hilt, green
01:01:29
used hilt that is designed for display.
01:01:32
So it's not for like the lightsaber fans out there that
01:01:34
are like, you know, hey, we get a lightsaber from Kyber Cave and
01:01:37
pop that in there. No, it's not one of those
01:01:39
exactly right, But you can get lightsabers.
01:01:41
At Kyber Cave, because they have merch, they got merch people.
01:01:48
Hello there, that's what. That's what Obi Wan would be
01:01:52
like. Oh hello there.
01:01:53
Hello there, Vedas Saber and then Vader would.
01:01:58
Come in. You know what?
01:01:59
I forgot to put my will home back on here.
01:02:00
So no. Right there.
01:02:03
Yes. All right, Let's move on here.
01:02:06
Does that me again? That is me again.
01:02:08
Okay, all right over in Marvel Land.
01:02:15
Yeah, thanks for watching. Don't forget to.
01:02:16
Like and subscribe. John Berenthal has wrapped
01:02:20
filming on Marvel's Punisher special presentation shot in
01:02:23
just 12 days. Yeah, they shot that.
01:02:25
This project. Yeah.
01:02:26
This project is described as a shotgun blast of a story with
01:02:30
emotional depth. It would have.
01:02:32
It would have to be for a 12 day shoot.
01:02:34
That's all I'm saying. It's a shotgun blast of a story.
01:02:37
I love that the new costume screams.
01:02:39
I've seen things. And yes, Brent Castle clears a
01:02:42
warehouse faster than his shoot wrap.
01:02:44
Yeah, did you see the video of him thanking the?
01:02:47
Thanking the the crew, it was so sweet.
01:02:49
He is so sweet. He is such a sweet guy for
01:02:53
somebody who plays such mean people all the time.
01:02:56
But he is he's that same. It's the same like I like am.
01:03:00
So I get so annoyed with his characters a lot because how he
01:03:03
plays them. But I mean, that's what he's
01:03:05
supposed to do. It's like John Cena.
01:03:07
I get annoyed John Cena stuff, but I do like John Cena is such
01:03:10
a good person and so is John is Oh, they're both John's.
01:03:13
Oh, my God. OK, let's move on.
01:03:15
I can't. I My mind's blown now.
01:03:17
Just just Bernthal's His. Name is spelled the Jewish way,
01:03:21
so that's right. Yeah, but I mean like.
01:03:23
Still, it's it's he. Is, I mean, he plays such
01:03:27
gravely Brooklyn, I'm going to beat like brawler kind of guys,
01:03:30
you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, it's the same thing,
01:03:32
like. Giancarlo Esposito.
01:03:34
Plays such detestable, hateable people, but he's like the nicest
01:03:37
guy in existence, right? Yeah.
01:03:39
And that's like it's, it's so. Funny because people have such
01:03:43
because the only time they see them is with like their
01:03:45
characters. And so like people are, I'm sure
01:03:48
are like, oh God, I don't know John Berenthal, but you see all
01:03:51
these videos with people and they're like, here is the
01:03:53
coolest, nicest person ever. Like because he walks around
01:03:57
like nothing and people come up to him and he does little videos
01:04:00
with them. And I'm just like, why can't I
01:04:02
live where he lives? No, not really.
01:04:04
I don't want to live there anyway.
01:04:05
Well, let's let's go ahead and keep going here.
01:04:07
Don't call it a comeback. I've been here for years.
01:04:10
All right, James Marsden is officially back as Cyclops in a
01:04:14
Avengers Doomsday. He calls the experience a
01:04:16
homecoming and says the costume still fits.
01:04:19
Barely. Let's hope this time he gets
01:04:21
more than 5 lines and doesn't die off screen while Wolverine
01:04:25
flirts with his with his future wife.
01:04:28
That's hard to say. Wolverine flirt.
01:04:30
I apologize. No, that's fine.
01:04:32
The thing? Is, is they've also said that
01:04:35
Marsden's costume, it's funny how he says the costume still
01:04:39
fits because I know he's playing that version of Cyclops.
01:04:42
But they've also said that he is supposed to be in a, in a comic
01:04:46
accurate Jim Lee version of the comic of the costume.
01:04:50
Yeah, we reported on. There's that rumor.
01:04:52
Last week that we reported on it.
01:04:54
That's what they're thinking about.
01:04:55
I think it'd be great. Look, he deserves a new outfit.
01:04:58
I just want to see him. I mean, you don't let somebody
01:05:00
die. Off screen.
01:05:01
And don't give him a new fucking out.
01:05:02
I mean this. He deserves a new outfit.
01:05:05
I want to see him in the Navy blue.
01:05:06
It's it's. It'll be awesome to see him in
01:05:08
the Navy blue costume. I want to see that too.
01:05:10
I like I have been. Waiting for comic book accurate
01:05:14
outfits for all of them. Now whether that's the
01:05:16
ultimates, I do love the little puffy jackets that they had in
01:05:19
the Ultimates. I thought that was kind of cute.
01:05:21
But I I want all of it. I want to see Jean in the green
01:05:25
dress and the weird mask. I want to see that.
01:05:28
Oh, I don't know if you hear like rocking the Marvel girl.
01:05:30
Yeah, like the old school Marvel thing I want.
01:05:33
To see that. But I think it would be great,
01:05:35
like how they did, how they did it with the Scarlet Witch in
01:05:39
Wanda Vision. I was like a Halloween costume
01:05:41
or something. I think that would be funny if
01:05:42
like there's a Halloween like scene in what, like in one of
01:05:47
the movies or whatever and you see them like dressed up as like
01:05:50
that and they're like, what are you going as?
01:05:51
And it's like, oh, we're going to superheroes and like, but
01:05:54
it's them, as you know. Anyway, yeah, no, I've gone off
01:05:57
on a tangent. I'm just.
01:05:59
Excited like what? I've always wanted to see is if
01:06:03
we're gonna get comic book accurate, I want that Jim Lee
01:06:06
style. I want that Navy blue, yellow
01:06:09
accent, you know, you know, like, especially with his his of
01:06:14
all the X-Men characters, between him and Wolverine, they
01:06:18
have the most iconic X-Men costumes.
01:06:20
And that's what it's true. Yeah.
01:06:22
Yeah. Do you think of the X?
01:06:23
Men the first two that come up with like specific like costumes
01:06:27
that are iconic are Wolverine and Cyclops and Cyclops.
01:06:32
And again, I want to see the Jim Lee version.
01:06:34
Just because the the the old like the older Stan Lee versions
01:06:39
with like the the full headpiece and like the bald cap on like
01:06:43
that would be cool. Like he was wearing a freaking
01:06:45
wet suit. Yeah, like that would be cool
01:06:47
too. But I, I, I prefer this version
01:06:51
with like the hair out and everything like that.
01:06:52
I just, there's something about that version just kind of just
01:06:55
seems badass. Yeah.
01:06:57
And it makes him look a little bit.
01:06:58
More asshole Y so and we like that right right.
01:07:01
You want him to be a Dick head that.
01:07:02
Seems like he's going to leave his family, so let's go move on
01:07:07
in space. Sinestro can hear you scream.
01:07:10
Of course he can. Ulrich Thompson has wrapped
01:07:13
filming as Sinestro in HBO's Lantern series.
01:07:16
He teased a positive return, saying I'll keep one side for
01:07:20
later because he knows Dutch. If he doesn't monologue about
01:07:23
beer while floating ominously, then he.
01:07:26
Is he even the leader of the Sinestro Corps?
01:07:29
Absolutely not. He's if he doesn't.
01:07:31
Thought it was cute. He doesn't.
01:07:33
Have. A fear monologue in the Lantern
01:07:36
series. Then I it's gonna be the first
01:07:38
time I'll be upset with with James Gunn.
01:07:41
That's true, Lex. Sinestro needs to be a blowhard.
01:07:44
He needs to be such. A fucking blowhard.
01:07:46
Like he needs to be so full of himself.
01:07:48
Yeah. Oh, absolutely.
01:07:49
He has to have. That it's, it's not just that
01:07:52
he's so confident that it's like it not cocky, it's like he has
01:07:57
this like impenetrable wall of knowing he's right.
01:08:01
It really is that, and that's the level of competence he needs
01:08:05
to have. But there's also an air of
01:08:06
aristocracy with. The way that Sinestro handles
01:08:09
himself because he comes from royalty.
01:08:11
So it's like he he has this I'm better than you attitude.
01:08:15
And if he doesn't have that as a character, he's not as
01:08:17
interesting. Yeah, Yeah.
01:08:18
I think that and I think that's that's going to.
01:08:20
Be really key. I do think that all Rick
01:08:23
Thompson has it. I think that he can do it.
01:08:25
So I I hope that you utilize him to his full potential, right.
01:08:29
And let's go from space to 11 St. kits.
01:08:34
The peacemaker doesn't know what hockey universe means.
01:08:38
Of course he doesn't. He doesn't, he doesn't he?
01:08:40
No he this version. Of this version of Peacemaker.
01:08:43
Wouldn't he's kind of a Peacemaker slash Booster Gold I.
01:08:46
Think it's just no, he kind of is John such an idiot, but I
01:08:49
mean I. Love him.
01:08:50
Yeah, John Cena revealed his cameo in.
01:08:52
Superman was a last minute call from James Gunn and he said heck
01:08:56
yeah. He confirmed that Peacemaker
01:08:58
Season 2 will tie directly into the new DCU somewhere in the
01:09:03
multiverse. Peacemaker and Lobo are probably
01:09:06
arm wrestling over who gets the last pros team bar dropping to
01:09:09
our Frackie. Or it's like Jason.
01:09:12
Bumo was on Jolly and because they had never been to Hawaii
01:09:16
and so he was showing him his favorite place in Hawaii and
01:09:19
they had Spam sushi and I can't. I think it's called Spam Wasubi.
01:09:24
Yeah. Wasubi.
01:09:26
Misubi. Misubi.
01:09:27
That's it. Yeah.
01:09:27
Misubi. And they and I was just thinking
01:09:31
maybe they would be fighting arm wrestling over who gets the last
01:09:35
musubi. It's like one of my favorite
01:09:38
snacks of all time when we went. To Hawaii they they so they they
01:09:41
sell spam Masubi at like grocery stores yeah here it's like
01:09:45
everywhere yeah when you. Go to like the deli section
01:09:48
they'll. Have like Spam musubi that's
01:09:50
just like wrapped in there, like in in the warm section and
01:09:52
whatnot. And it's, I mean, all it is is
01:09:54
rice, teriyaki sauce and Spam. It's it's delicious though.
01:09:56
But like, yeah, wrapped up as like sushi and and and soy wrap.
01:09:59
So it's it's it's like a bit. What is?
01:10:02
Bit mop, Bit bop. Bit bop, Yeah, it's like that
01:10:06
because. That's just.
01:10:07
Like rice. It's a rice cake with like
01:10:10
seaweed like, and they're really good.
01:10:12
I love all that. But anyway, it doesn't I, I said
01:10:15
seaweed and apparently my iPhone did not like that.
01:10:19
So we've covered the cameos, the casting chaos and the Cape
01:10:22
count. Now it's time to zoom out and
01:10:23
ask who's steering the ship. Oh, we're going to get here.
01:10:27
Let's unpack the latest. Promises from Paramount's new
01:10:30
overlord and Disney's reigning reboot kit.
01:10:32
Oh, you said that really gravelly.
01:10:34
You gave. It a lot of gravitas.
01:10:36
I appreciated that we've heard it all before.
01:10:38
Studio heads promising. Innovation, originality and a
01:10:40
bold new future right before green lighting.
01:10:43
Another sequel to a sequel to another sequel of a reboot this
01:10:46
week. Cycle continues.
01:10:48
David Ellison declares day one of a new Paramount as the
01:10:51
Skydance merger closes, pitching a new tech savvy studio built
01:10:56
for the future. But behind the sleek branding,
01:10:58
layoffs, legal baggage and newsroom shake up, that feels
01:11:02
more more corporate than creative.
01:11:04
Meanwhile, our good friend Bob Iger insists Disney is focused
01:11:08
on creating new IP and values fresh ideas.
01:11:12
But the release calendar tells a different story.
01:11:14
Moana, Zootopia, Toy Story, Frozen Inside Out, Star Wars,
01:11:18
Marvel, Pixar, Fox, ABC, Hulu, ESPN, National Geographic.
01:11:23
Your childhood, your neighbor's childhood, your dog's favorite
01:11:27
movie, all getting sequels, spin offs or reboots.
01:11:29
So let's put the studio speeches in the rearview.
01:11:32
This is in the about what they say, it's about what they make
01:11:35
and what they're making feels less like a creative renaissance
01:11:38
and more like a nostalgic treadmill.
01:11:40
So the question we're going to go over in this in these next
01:11:43
couple of minutes here this this time that we have is Ellison's
01:11:45
new Paramount, just old Hollywood with a tech facelift?
01:11:49
Is Disney's idea of new IP, just IP you haven't seen in a decade?
01:11:54
And most importantly, who actually in who is actually
01:11:57
investing in stories that surprise us?
01:11:59
So OK, let me and let me answer all the.
01:12:02
Questions real quick, and then you can go into your thing
01:12:04
because I'm not going to say a ton of stuff on this.
01:12:06
I mean, I could say a lot, but Ellison, Ellison's new
01:12:09
Paramount, old Hollywood. I think that's true.
01:12:12
I, you know, when studios merge, layoffs happen, but it just
01:12:16
seems like a lot of smoke and mirrors to me as far as that
01:12:19
goes. And Disney's idea of new IP is
01:12:23
yeah, Disney's idea for new IP has been what you haven't seen
01:12:26
in the last 10 years forever. That has been their bread and
01:12:30
butter since Disney began really to be honest with you.
01:12:33
And I just I don't see it changing.
01:12:36
And I really think good old Bobby Iger might need to let
01:12:40
somebody else take the reins. It didn't work when he chose the
01:12:44
person. Maybe don't let him choose.
01:12:46
Maybe pick somebody else, somebody that might have a
01:12:49
better vision do interviews. I don't know, like actually do a
01:12:53
job. And the most important and that
01:12:57
most it says most importantly, who who's actually investing in
01:13:00
stories that surprise us? A 24 four.
01:13:03
Yeah. A 24.
01:13:06
Yeah. That's it.
01:13:07
How many a 24 movies have we all just loved?
01:13:12
And like, they're like, I'll watch a trailer and I'm like,
01:13:14
oh, this is so good. And then later I find out, oh,
01:13:16
that's an A 24 movie. Yeah.
01:13:18
Oh, that's why. That's why.
01:13:20
Oh. So yeah, yeah, no, I, I, I
01:13:22
agree. With, with what you're saying
01:13:24
right there, now my issues here, David Ellison is, is he's a,
01:13:30
he's a boot licker at this point.
01:13:31
Just the way that he, he's going about everything, the people
01:13:34
that he's firing, the people that, you know, just just the
01:13:37
way that he's going about Paramount, I get he might be
01:13:40
trying to cut the fat because Paramount has not been
01:13:44
successful in the last couple of years.
01:13:45
They have successful IPS, but Paramount in itself as an
01:13:49
organization has not been very successful.
01:13:51
And that's been kind of like a big issue that's been happening
01:13:56
in the industry is how do we fix Paramount?
01:13:58
How do we do this? We tried to do Paramount Plus.
01:14:00
It didn't workout the way that we thought it was going to.
01:14:02
People didn't gravitate towards Star Trek.
01:14:04
Uh, weirdly enough, people didn't gravitate towards Star
01:14:07
Trek the way that they thought they were going to.
01:14:09
They went into these big budget. Yeah, he shows and, and they
01:14:12
were really well done, you know, And there's so much that
01:14:14
Paramount offers that is good. But David Ellison, you know, in
01:14:18
Skydance, buy everything out. And they're just like, no, we're
01:14:21
gonna, we're gonna start getting rid of everything that we can,
01:14:25
you know, and and we're just not gonna, we're not gonna hold on
01:14:28
to anything anymore. Now, Disney, I, I have been
01:14:31
complaining about this for a while and I've had like full on
01:14:35
arguments with James on the show about this because Bob Iger, all
01:14:39
he's doing is what is going to make us money.
01:14:42
It's not how can we be the most creative?
01:14:45
I think we did. There's a real that we did a
01:14:48
while back, specifically about Bob Iger.
01:14:51
If, if Walt Disney were alive, set aside the problematic stuff
01:14:55
with Walt Disney. But if, if Walt Disney were
01:14:57
alive today, would he be proud of what Bob Iger is doing with
01:15:01
his company? And the answer is no.
01:15:02
The answer's no. Yeah, absolutely.
01:15:04
Not why? Because Walt Disney was a risk
01:15:07
taker. Walt Disney was.
01:15:09
Take this story that I know is a good story, and let's find a way
01:15:14
to knock this out of the park. Yeah, I have a feeling if Walt
01:15:17
was. Still alive or the Disney family
01:15:19
was still involved, like Silo would be a Disney product.
01:15:23
Yes, because that's something that like like his family, like
01:15:27
the reason freaking Mary Poppins even happened was because his
01:15:32
daughter, like Walt Disney's daughters loved it and they read
01:15:35
it together and he wanted to do it.
01:15:37
And that's the only reason there wasn't anybody going.
01:15:40
We need a Mary Poppins movie. No one was saying that.
01:15:42
And then it becomes such a big thing for Disney.
01:15:46
So it's like and you know, 20 leagues under the Sea, he
01:15:49
did that. Like he went to literary things
01:15:54
and did stuff with that. Now a lot of times Walt kind of
01:15:57
bastardized them and you know, Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty
01:16:01
is the perfect example of that. But but like at the same time
01:16:04
what Walt was. Doing and he that there are
01:16:07
interviews with him talking about it is modernizing the the
01:16:12
the the fairy tales because if you if you look at a lot of the
01:16:14
stories that they did these stories were were horrifying.
01:16:18
You know, like you look at Snow White, it is a horrifying story
01:16:21
if you look at this was after his time.
01:16:23
But if you look at The Little Mermaid, you know, like the
01:16:26
little yeah, that's horrifying, right.
01:16:28
The Little Mermaid is. Turned into sea foam.
01:16:30
Right, but not just. That she was a green sea.
01:16:32
Monster. Her whole thing in in the
01:16:35
original story, right? You know, in, in in the Disney
01:16:38
story, she magically loses her voice and Ursula takes the voice
01:16:43
and controls the voice, right. In the original story, the sea,
01:16:46
which cuts out her tongue. Yeah, yeah.
01:16:48
No, I mean, it's, it's pretty brutal.
01:16:50
Right, it's pretty. She can't walk at.
01:16:53
Any point in the story, she does not learn how to walk because
01:16:56
every time she tries to take a step, it feels like glass shards
01:17:00
are going through her. Her feet.
01:17:01
It's it's, yeah, there are so many different messed up things
01:17:05
about The Little Mermaid. They changed the entire story to
01:17:09
make it something that was more digestible for people.
01:17:12
If you, if you look at what they're doing right now, right,
01:17:15
they're they're all they're doing is rehashing IP that they
01:17:18
already have. Well, the IP that they're
01:17:20
rehashing was original when it came out.
01:17:23
Yeah. Moana is a is an original story.
01:17:26
Moana is a we took mythology that exists that didn't have a
01:17:31
story. We took a period of time where
01:17:34
Polynesians weren't sailing and we're when we put two and two
01:17:38
together and said, let's create a story that tells that story
01:17:41
and and we're telling everybody it is a fictional story, but at
01:17:44
the same time, it honors the legends and the mythology that
01:17:48
exists there. You know, Zootopia was very
01:17:51
original. It was very fun.
01:17:53
Way to go. Toy Story was one of the most
01:17:55
original stories that became a massive franchise.
01:17:57
But I mean, like it was original.
01:17:58
Frozen was one of the last projects that Walt Disney was
01:18:02
working on that he couldn't figure out about how to do.
01:18:04
Yeah, well, like in Canto and Got.
01:18:07
Those. That's totally original.
01:18:08
Yeah, I. Mean like so.
01:18:09
There's so many, there's so many things that you can do and just
01:18:13
rehashing stuff over and over again.
01:18:14
Although I am also a fan of reboots too, because like I've
01:18:19
been on thread, like talking on threads and talking on Blue Sky
01:18:23
about how Pedro Pascal needs to do a Bert needs to be Burt
01:18:28
Reynolds and something. Yeah, yeah.
01:18:29
I think he needs to be either a Burt.
01:18:31
Reynolds character. Or like, I'm like Cannonball
01:18:34
Run, Smokey and the Band and the Bandits.
01:18:36
We do these Smokey, Yeah. They could do.
01:18:38
Today. I mean, I, I agree reboots are
01:18:42
fine to an extent. What I do like is some of these
01:18:46
reboots where they're taking like, you know, I like the idea
01:18:49
of taking a movie that was successful in the 80s and
01:18:52
telling that story 30 years later.
01:18:54
What happened, right. 30 years from this story, Literally the
01:18:58
number one movie in the country right now is The Naked Gun.
01:19:00
And it's about Frank Drebbing. Junior.
01:19:02
It is about. Yeah.
01:19:03
Drebbing son. Right.
01:19:05
You know, Tron, Tron Aries is a reboot or as a continuation of a
01:19:11
reboot, but they're rebooting a series from the 80s that became
01:19:14
a cult classic but was not successful when it came out.
01:19:16
Tron was. Yeah.
01:19:17
By this, by any stretch of imagination, Tron was not a
01:19:20
successful movie. It was a flop.
01:19:22
It was. Tron was.
01:19:23
Yeah. But what happened?
01:19:24
Is it was a cult classic because of all the concepts in it.
01:19:28
It became something that was more Tron became more than what
01:19:33
they intended it to be and they had to do a reboot.
01:19:36
I personally like the Neutron movie a lot of people have.
01:19:39
Yeah, right. I actually enjoyed it.
01:19:41
I love the update on on the series and you know, this is
01:19:44
what happens as everything kind of updates and I love the idea
01:19:48
of taking it a step further and doing a commentary on AI, but
01:19:51
doing characters that were in the grid and are now on our in
01:19:56
our world. I love that idea.
01:19:58
You know, I'm all in for Tron Aries and I haven't even seen
01:20:02
Tron Aries. I haven't even seen a trailer
01:20:03
for it yet. Oh, there's a trailer out?
01:20:05
I don't think I watched it. Either though I haven't watched
01:20:07
it though, no. So Speaking of, I think the
01:20:09
original Tron was just before its time, just like I think that
01:20:12
movie The black Hole when they did it, I think it was before
01:20:15
its time. If they had done it later, I
01:20:16
think it would have been a lot better because it didn't do very
01:20:19
well. But it's a really solid movie.
01:20:20
So Disney doesn't have a problem making really good movies.
01:20:24
It's just they've lost the risk takerness of it and they need to
01:20:28
get that back. And I think that, you know, that
01:20:30
and I, I'm putting a pin in the Skydam Paramount thing.
01:20:35
Maybe, maybe Ellison will, you know, get this done and and
01:20:39
eventually they'll get to hire people back.
01:20:42
And, you know, but I just I, I have, I have very little faith
01:20:45
being a studio head. The only one I I really trust
01:20:49
right now, and I kind of wish he would stop talking just so I
01:20:52
don't have to report on him every week, is James Gunn.
01:20:55
That is the only him and Peter Safran.
01:20:58
Those are the only two studio heads at the moment that I can
01:21:03
trust. I don't know H 24 studio head.
01:21:05
I trust them too. I don't know, but I don't think
01:21:07
they have a studio head. I think they have people like a
01:21:10
committee that that they're, they're a collective.
01:21:13
Right them. So that's why it's like, I don't
01:21:15
think they do them in. Blumhouse.
01:21:17
I mean, Blumhouse is. Starting to get into the reboot
01:21:19
arena too. But I mean, like for the most
01:21:20
part, Blumhouse, they take original horror ideas and
01:21:24
they'll invest in it. You know, they'll that yeah,
01:21:27
you, you may or may not be a fan of horror.
01:21:29
I know you're not a fan of horror, but I mean like he is
01:21:32
investing in original IP. He's investing.
01:21:36
Blum is is Jason Blum is investing in in original IP and
01:21:41
that is that that's the only way where you can drive art forward.
01:21:45
Just in the chat saying easy solution for all that.
01:21:48
Let artists do art. And I agree with that.
01:21:50
IA 100% agree with that. I've always said the problem
01:21:53
with the problem that DC had originally was because studio
01:21:57
heads would put their hands in the cookie jar and not let
01:22:00
artists do their art. Let them do their art if you
01:22:03
allow them to to do there are things are things tend to be
01:22:07
better, especially if you find somebody who actually cares
01:22:10
about what it is that they're doing right.
01:22:12
If you have someone like James Gunn who cares so much about
01:22:17
comic books and DC and everything that he's working on
01:22:20
that he wants to do something that not only appeals to mass
01:22:24
audiences, but also appeals to the fans who already love this
01:22:29
stuff. Like don't alienate people who
01:22:31
are already here. Don't alienate your built in fan
01:22:34
base in in order to put a bet on maybe we can we can get
01:22:38
different fans or whip. Maybe we can try and get a
01:22:40
different fan base. No, you have a built in fan
01:22:43
base. You have millions of nerds that
01:22:46
love comic books, make movies for us with good stories, IE
01:22:51
Superman. Yeah.
01:22:52
And everybody will come into that because it's like, not only
01:22:55
is it a good movie for fans of the comic books, but also it's
01:22:58
generally a good movie. So people, yeah, are gonna go
01:23:01
and watch that. That's what you need.
01:23:03
You know, it's it's things like that.
01:23:05
Another thing I'm gonna bring up right real quick here is where
01:23:08
again, where I feel like Bob Iger has has lost the the the
01:23:12
point, you know, is what with what's going on with ESPN,
01:23:16
right? Yeah, OK.
01:23:17
Yeah, I can understand that. Yeah, I just don't think Bob
01:23:20
Iger has a plan. I think he's piecemealing it
01:23:22
together as he goes along. It's clear that James Gunn has a
01:23:25
plan. He has a plan, he has a
01:23:27
strategy, and so far he's delivered on it.
01:23:30
And I think as long as he delivers on it, everybody's
01:23:33
going to be happy. Yeah.
01:23:34
If he doesn't, then, yeah. Well, you know James is in the
01:23:37
chat. Right now and, and I know he
01:23:39
knows what I'm going to bring up right now because I was just
01:23:41
talking about what he's doing with the ESPN so and and also
01:23:44
what's going on so on the wrestling front, right they just
01:23:48
announced that PLE's premium live events are no longer going
01:23:52
to be on Peacock as of next year.
01:23:55
Peacock is 10 dollars $10 a month, right?
01:23:57
It is affordable. They are moving everything over
01:24:00
to to the ESPN plus app and it's going to be $30.00 a month.
01:24:05
That's ridiculous. And, you know, like the Disney.
01:24:07
Plus app, you can get some ESPN stuff, but you can't get out,
01:24:10
you can't get all of the ESPN plus stuff.
01:24:13
And that's a joke. Yeah, it's, it's a combination
01:24:16
of. Bob Iger and Nick Khan, who is
01:24:19
the the guy who runs WWE. It's a combination of both of
01:24:23
them thinking that their fan base is worthless and stupid and
01:24:27
gonna pay whatever price right they.
01:24:29
Think ask them to pay. They think that OK, well, you
01:24:32
know we. We convinced all these people to
01:24:35
leave the $5 a month WWE app that had everything and worked
01:24:40
perfectly. We convinced all these people to
01:24:43
switch over to to Peacock, which is not as good.
01:24:47
But I mean, I this only place where I can watch the the live
01:24:50
events is the only place where I can watch the main events.
01:24:52
And then now they announce, Oh well, you know what they'll,
01:24:56
they'll the the our fan. Our fans are so loyal to us that
01:25:00
when we switch them over to the ESPN app and force them to pay
01:25:04
$30.00 a month for, for this app, which I get it, it's, it's
01:25:10
not just WWE. You're also getting the NFL
01:25:12
Network because the NFL Network just signed a deal to work
01:25:14
exclusively in that app. But why do I want to pay $30.00
01:25:17
a month for one app on top of $25.00 a month for Netflix on
01:25:22
top of Frank whatever. I mean, it's so much more than
01:25:25
cable. I might as well just go and get
01:25:27
cable again. Yep, Yep, Yep, Yep.
01:25:28
You know, like it's, it's it. Is so.
01:25:31
To us as fans, it is so disrespectful to look at us in
01:25:34
this way knowing that the economy is the way it is.
01:25:37
I get it. They're just sitting here like,
01:25:39
Oh no, the economy is fine because you know, they say that
01:25:41
it's fine. You know, we're going to go with
01:25:43
what they're saying right here. So you can afford, you know,
01:25:46
because of all this excess money that you're going to be having,
01:25:48
you can afford a $30.00 a month app.
01:25:50
And it's like, no, no, even if, even if we were as rich as they
01:25:54
want to say that they want to gaslight us into believing that
01:25:57
we are. Nobody wants to pay $30.00 a
01:25:59
month for an app. I don't want to.
01:26:00
I don't want to pay anything for an app.
01:26:02
I'm cheap. I mean, yeah, I'm if it's.
01:26:05
Something that's included in something, I would rather that
01:26:07
right, yeah, I don't mind pay if it's like.
01:26:09
Multiple things, like multiple, like I can watch Hulu on Disney
01:26:15
Plus, so I get to watch the Hulu stuff.
01:26:18
So if they could, you know, if they did that, but they won't.
01:26:20
And you know what? I think we've, I think we've
01:26:22
beaten this. We have.
01:26:24
We have, yeah. I'm, I'm gonna get off my
01:26:27
soapbox right now. It is definitely something that
01:26:31
you know, the final point that I'm gonna make is hey, heads of
01:26:36
the studio host all of you guys running all the studios and
01:26:39
everybody out there. We're not as dumb as you think
01:26:41
we are, and I know we're not all think that we.
01:26:44
Are. Gullible.
01:26:46
And we are just gonna give you whatever money you ask for in
01:26:50
order to entertain us. But it goes the opposite way,
01:26:53
guys, because you think that we won't like you think that we
01:26:58
won't stop paying for this stuff.
01:27:00
And and the proof in the pudding is how all of you guys are
01:27:02
scrambling over ticket sales at theaters and how nobody's going
01:27:07
to go see movies right now. It's because you guys have out
01:27:09
priced everything. Yep, Exacta Mundo.
01:27:13
Yeah, we're not dumb. And we?
01:27:15
Deal with it for the most part, but after a while people are
01:27:18
going to revolt against you and if money is all you care about,
01:27:22
you're going to lose a lot of it.
01:27:23
That's not a threat, that's a promise.
01:27:25
Welcome to our A 24 overlords. Support indie movies?
01:27:29
Let's go. All right.
01:27:31
Support Indie? Yeah, support indie filmmaking.
01:27:34
Go to YouTube. And go watch Deadpool versus
01:27:37
versus John Wick. That is a great, that's great
01:27:39
movie. While the studio heads keep
01:27:41
promising the moon and delivering reruns, we're
01:27:44
shifting focus to the fans, the floor, and the frenzy that are
01:27:48
fandom conventions. That's right, ladies and
01:27:51
gentlemen, let's jump into. The next segment, it's time for
01:27:54
the geeky. Damn, I didn't even yeah on my
01:28:05
end. It was like kind of.
01:28:06
Like it sounded like the horror version of like suddenly there's
01:28:11
a horror moving going on in the news.
01:28:14
It it, it didn't. I didn't even get the word.
01:28:16
Out of my mouth before it went there was like no delay on that
01:28:18
one usually there's a delay when I hit the button and it was like
01:28:21
whoa that was instant all right well ladies and gentlemen, hey,
01:28:24
before we do that I want to mention because.
01:28:26
I don't know if everybody knows this on Instagram because I, I
01:28:30
did this today and it's like an hour long hidden YouTube video.
01:28:34
You guys liked Superman? Go to Instagram, go to
01:28:38
Superman's account, just Superman and there are cards or
01:28:43
digital cards and they have a letter on each card and that
01:28:47
gets you a code. If you go to the Superman IG
01:28:50
account, it has a LinkedIn like a link tree thing.
01:28:55
If you hit on that, there's one that says unlock the fortress.
01:28:58
Click on that, put in the code and it will take you to a
01:29:03
YouTube, an hour long YouTube video that is Superman behind
01:29:11
the scenes. It's so cool and I watched the
01:29:14
whole thing. I watched every bit of it and I
01:29:17
loved it and it's so amazing. So I would suggest after the
01:29:21
show, head on over to Instagram and do that fun little thing and
01:29:25
it's totally worth it. If you liked, if you liked the
01:29:28
movie Superman, you'll really like the behind the scenes stuff
01:29:31
because they do interviews with the cast.
01:29:33
They do James Gunn wears a really bad green sweater, but
01:29:37
you know what, he's James Gunn. Peter Safran tears up in it.
01:29:41
It's just amazing. It's amazing.
01:29:42
So go over there after the show. I'm sure it'll be on the DVD
01:29:45
extras when the DVD comes. Out in two weeks?
01:29:47
Yeah, it's, it's half of them. But it's really good.
01:29:51
It's definitely worth it and it's hidden and it's so cool and
01:29:54
it's very like social media friendly.
01:29:57
It's so neat. I loved it.
01:29:59
I was like, I'm going to watch it.
01:30:00
OK, now we can go. So yeah, let's do this, guys.
01:30:02
We had a couple of cons. Over the weekend, now this first
01:30:05
con that we have here, of course our correspondents, our con
01:30:09
correspondents went in and checked out.
01:30:11
It was verse con over at the Scottish Right Center here in
01:30:14
Sacramento, CA over the weekend happened.
01:30:17
It was a Pokémon themed Pokémon themed show and here to talk
01:30:21
about it is of course our lovely friend Sandra Delong.
01:30:29
Hello again. Sandra, hey.
01:30:33
So. Yeah, this weekend I.
01:30:35
Was at the Scottish Rate Center with Impound Comics on behalf of
01:30:39
sad geeks and it was a ton of fun.
01:30:42
Where is, Oh my gosh, so much cosplay of Pokémon and everyone
01:30:46
was running around saying there's snore, there's, I mean,
01:30:49
I don't know enough Pokémon to know what you are, but cool.
01:30:54
And of course we have the cosplay contest.
01:30:57
And the fun thing about that, there was some like mishap or
01:31:03
something with the original host.
01:31:05
So Sad Geeks got put in charge of it.
01:31:07
When within Sad Geeks, I got put in charge of it.
01:31:12
I have a question. Yes, now.
01:31:14
This may seem like an interrogation, Sandra, but so
01:31:19
did they disappear or did you disappear them?
01:31:25
She disappeared them. That's just that's Sandra style.
01:31:27
No, they just. Yeah, not themselves.
01:31:31
Uh huh. Tell you.
01:31:32
After the show, yeah. I have all the dirt.
01:31:37
Okay, yeah. Let's do it.
01:31:42
I you know what? I rescind the question.
01:31:45
Counselor, please continue. So yeah, it was really fun
01:31:49
because. I also teamed up with the
01:31:51
cosplay dropouts who were there as a special guest and Team
01:31:54
Inferno. They were awesome judges.
01:31:56
They gathered up some really cool prizes for the winners.
01:31:59
And if you can't tell, the 1st place winner was the cosplay
01:32:03
right there. Astros here with the big
01:32:05
gigantic flower. Oh, wow.
01:32:07
Yeah. She that cosplay.
01:32:10
She makes all her own hat. Was it for the dresses, patterns
01:32:15
and everything? It's just awesome.
01:32:17
And they kept falling apart. Their mom carries a hot glue gun
01:32:21
in their bag wherever they go, and they plug it in and fix
01:32:24
their stuff as it falls apart. I mean, you got to, right?
01:32:27
Yeah, exactly. We had Oh my gosh, we.
01:32:32
Had so much fun running around and even the also Jeff who's
01:32:36
here, he was a celebrity handler all weekend long and maybe he
01:32:41
