00:02:49
you want. But as long as you're sending it

to distancenerding@aol.com. So let's say distance nerding
00:02:56
had an e-mail address at Verizon.
00:02:58
OK, so it's like distance nerding at Verizon dot DO.
00:03:02
They could send that to distancenerding@aol.com and we
00:03:07
would get that e-mail, correct? Cool, simple, easy enough.
00:03:09
I don't know why people are so confused about it.
00:03:11
I mean, are people confused about it or is there confusing?
00:03:14
I mean, look, I you all, you know, I always have my ear to
00:03:17
the ground. I know these things.
00:03:18
No, Yeah, yeah. When?
00:03:20
I am an ear to the grounder. You're an ear to the grounder.
00:03:23
Yes, I I respect. That thing I just invented.
00:03:26
A thing you just invented. I have never heard anyone say
00:03:29
ear to the grounder, but now I love it and I want it to be a
00:03:32
thing. But let's make that happen.
00:03:33
Let's make it happen. Ladies and gentlemen, let's jump
00:03:36
into this. It is now time to jump into the
00:03:39
show. Ladies and gentlemen, you are
00:03:41
now watching the worst kept secret on all of the Internet
00:03:45
because we can't really keep it a secret.
00:03:47
It's been too difficult and we just kind of gave up at this
00:03:49
point. Ladies and gentlemen, you are
00:03:50
now watching the downloads. Well, here we are.
00:04:08
It is time. We are way too small.
00:04:10
There we go. OK.
00:04:12
I was like, what? Thank you, I have lost weight.
00:04:14
No, I was kidding. Well, ladies and gentlemen, this
00:04:17
week on deck we've got starting rumors.
00:04:20
We map out an expat, a Ruby visor, and Spidey villain.
00:04:26
That's right, the download. We felt all the tingles
00:04:31
throughout the fandom this week. And of course, rounding it out,
00:04:35
we go into the geek and update. We're gearing up for Tri-cities
00:04:39
Powerhouse YO. That's right.
00:04:41
But before we get into all of that, ladies and gentlemen, Oh,
00:04:44
I'm on the wrong. OK, I'm always on the wrong
00:04:46
page, ladies and gentlemen. First, let me get a shout out.
00:04:52

the fun of energy drinks, but you make it yourself, so it's a
00:05:19
little bit of extra work, but it's still good.
00:05:20
Bill, are you frozen? No, you're not frozen anymore.
00:05:23
You were for a second. Freaked me out.
00:05:25
OK. I was like, he's saying all the
00:05:27
dubby stuff, but he's not moving at all.
00:05:29
That's really cool. Then I went, oh, he's frozen.
00:05:32
So other than dubby, we do have another sponsor.
00:05:35
I actually think they're more of a daddy executive producer.
00:05:39
Could we say that? Yes, please say that.
00:05:41
I'm sure Frank would love that. Being a daddy Daddy Vibe
00:05:45
executive producer. He's daddy executive producer.
00:05:48
Zaddy, Zaddy the executive. There you go.
00:05:54
So distance nerding is part of Geek Greeks Network, which we
00:05:58
think is an amazing thing. It's definitely a marriage of
00:06:01
equals for fans who live loud, and Lord knows we do.
00:06:07
Whether you're deep in lore or just discovering your latest
00:06:11
bench, I have to tell you. Oh, yes, Frank is our fratty.
00:06:15
He's our fratty. I love it.
00:06:17
All right, I have to tell you. So I've just been well, I caught
00:06:21
up on Gilded Age, but I binge watch Peacemaker and I started
00:06:25
Wakanda eyes of Wakanda. So these are new things.
00:06:28
Oh well, Gilded Age isn't, but Peacemaker and Izable Conda is,
00:06:32
so I just love it. And so hey, that's me.
00:06:34
I'm discovering my latest bench. Geekbreaks is the network that
00:06:38
speaks your language, the language of nerd podcasts that
00:06:43
punch, ponder and power up, including these greats.
00:06:47
So challenge accepted. Have they ever asked us to be on
00:06:50
challenge accepted? I feel like we should like do
00:06:52
team versus team. Do I say this every week?
00:06:54
I think I do I. Think we do Phantom Portals
00:06:56
invited them onto the buzzer though, so hopefully we get them
00:07:00
on the buzzer soon. OK, Maybe like we'll do like
00:07:02
they'll be on the buzzer and then we can be on challenge
00:07:04
accepted and then we'll mix match exactly.
00:07:06
That would be fun. That would be fun.
00:07:07
I'd like to see graveyard go up against a couple of them because
00:07:10
I think I think he'd do a really good job.
00:07:12
Because he's a trivia. Monster, he really is.
00:07:15
He really is fandom portals step through and explore multiverse
00:07:19
theory like a pro. I do enjoy their theories.
00:07:22
I still don't think they're as crazy as mine, but you know,
00:07:25
they're young. Interviews and headlines kind of
00:07:28
like our build, so I like that it's no gatekeeping like
00:07:33
everybody's allowed I love that yeah anime plus is their manga
00:07:38
show and I know we don't do a ton of manga so but I know a lot
00:07:41
of people that are fans of ours do like it so you might want to
00:07:44
check that one out yeah whether you're.
00:07:46
About coming on the show, so they're going to be guest
00:07:48
hosting that. Oh, soon.
00:07:50
Oh, that's awesome. That'll be amazing.
00:07:52
I'd love that. I loved having Thomas on last
00:07:54
week. That was amazing.
00:07:55
So whether you're building Legos, debating casting choices,
00:07:58
or still crying over that finale, we've got you covered.
00:08:02
Geek Freaks Network, Your fandom?
00:08:03
Unity Favorite people. Not me.
00:08:07
I'm annoying. Find out more at gfpods.com.
00:08:11
Oh. Man, already putting that in the
00:08:13
chat. Oh God.
00:08:14
All right so James should do. Would be horrible at challenge.
00:08:17
Accepted because they challenge each other to watching things
00:08:20
but she do doesn't watch a damn thing.
00:08:24
Look, he's trying, OK? He's trying right now.
00:08:26
He is currently making a film, actually directing a film.
00:08:30
So I think he gets a pass this month, next month.
00:08:33
We'll see. All right, well, let's jump into
00:08:35
this, ladies and gentlemen. Also, I just realized I didn't
00:08:38
change the page. There you go, everybody.
00:08:40
You can see it right there. Geek freakspodcasts.com or GF
00:08:44
pods.com. All right, well, ladies and
00:08:46
gentlemen, let's get into this. It's time to get banned in
00:08:49
Belarus. Let's go.
00:09:02
Band, band, band, band. Band in Belarus.
00:09:04
Band in Belarus. Band in Belarus.
00:09:07
James said no pass and let's he puts me in the movie.
00:09:11
He probably would, I just don't think you're available or local.
00:09:14
Yeah, yeah. No, James, you have to go to
00:09:18
Oklahoma. You got to go to Oklahoma or
00:09:20
Kansas. No, you have to go through
00:09:22
Kansas. It's not worth it.
00:09:23
Don't come. Or go to Arkansas.
00:09:25
There you go. Arkansas.
00:09:27
You have to go to Arkansas. I thought Oklahomans were bad at
00:09:31
naming stuff, but Arkansas, really, I mean, they call
00:09:34
themselves Arkansans and I'm like, that's the best you could
00:09:38
come up with. I mean, Oklahoma, we're
00:09:40
Oklahoman. That makes spent Oklahoma, right
00:09:43
and you just put an in on it Oklahoman.
00:09:45
That's it super easy. You are, but it's just like I'm
00:09:48
an Oklahoma. I am.
00:09:50
I mean, they call themselves empties, but I mean, still
00:09:52
Oklahoma just sounds. And I don't.
00:09:54
And homie don't play that right? Oklahoma don't play that.
00:09:57
Oklahoma, don't play that. All right, let's jump into this
00:10:00
first story here, because I'm ready to do it. 1 pulls punches,
00:10:04
1 pulls triggers. This won't end with a hug at
00:10:06
all. Brand New Day is shaping up to
00:10:08
be anything but a friendly neighborhood anything.
00:10:11
Rumors tease a tense clash between Spider Man and The
00:10:14
Punisher over Scorpion, plus a stacked villain lineup featuring
00:10:17
1 deep cut surprise that could send fans scrambling to the
00:10:21
wiki. Between moral dilemmas and rogue
00:10:23
chaos, this might be Marvel's most unpredictable Spidey outing
00:10:27
yet. So guys, tacos on the table.
00:10:29
I say guys cuz I'm including the chat tacos on the table.
00:10:34
Could this be Marvel's way of testing Sinister 6 waters again?
00:10:38
Let's see what Andy says. Hey, he's a guy, Andy says.
00:10:42
No tacos on the table. Oh, you don't think so?
00:10:45
No, I really think that this is like Sony's last hurrah with
00:10:49
Spidey. I think after Tom Holland goes
00:10:52
away, I think they're that Marvel's getting it.
00:10:54
I think Marvel's getting Spidey back soon.
00:10:56
I mean, I almost hope, I kind of hope that that Marvel gets
00:11:00
Spider Man back. And like they have spider man to
00:11:03
an extent because he's a lone character.
00:11:04
But like if we can get full on spider man and Marvel has
00:11:07
control over all the characters because Sony.
00:11:10
And you know, the other thing is I the reason I don't think Sony
00:11:13
is gonna let go Spider man is because they're doing so well
00:11:15
with spider verse and they're pushing that out.
00:11:17
I think that I think that they're gonna start focusing on
00:11:20
Miles Morales and start focusing on other characters.
00:11:23
I I don't see Sony letting it go.
00:11:25
I, I wonder if that's like the thing, because there had, there
00:11:29
were rumors, there were talks that that Marvel was going to
00:11:34
get spider man back. I wonder if it was Marvel was
00:11:37
going to get to use Miles Morales spider man and his like
00:11:42
his villains and stuff. I would, I'm wondering if maybe
00:11:45
that was what they were talking about, because that would
00:11:48
actually clear a lot of things up.
00:11:51
And then it wouldn't have to be, well, this person can be in the
00:11:54
spider man movie, but this, this person can't.
00:11:57
And we can't have any other Spider man characters in the MCU
00:12:03
because, you know, they're not contracted or something.
00:12:06
And so I think maybe like splitting it down where it's
00:12:08
mile Morales stuff and go to the MCU and and the Tom Hollands
00:12:13
Spiderman can stay in the Sony verse.
00:12:18
What do you think? I.
00:12:19
I kind of I just want Marvel to head to have everything back.
00:12:22
I do too this. I'm just, I'm tired of Sony just
00:12:26
trying to make spider man a cash cow rather than respecting the
00:12:30
character so. Yeah, yeah, no, I get you.
00:12:32
I want it to come back. Maybe that's why I'm like, no
00:12:34
spider man's gonna go back. But yeah, I don't, I, I don't
00:12:38
think they, to me, they shot their shot at Sinister 6 and it
00:12:42
fell flat and actually threw a couple stories and into the
00:12:45
basement. But I don't think they're gonna
00:12:47
do that again. And are they going to have, will
00:12:49
they have like multiple villains?
00:12:51
Absolutely. Because the last Spider Man
00:12:55
really, that really got a boost from having those villains back,
00:12:59
having Doc Ock and, you know, Green Goblin Sandman.
00:13:03
So I know that they're gonna lean into that.
00:13:06
And then they're bringing Punisher in.
00:13:07
So it's like Punishers got, you know, he's got help now whether
00:13:11
he wants it or not. But yeah, so my tacos are off
00:13:14
the table. I don't think they're gonna do a
00:13:15
Sinister 6 again. Maybe they'll call it the Sweet
00:13:18
1616, I don't know. Sweet 1616.
00:13:23
Yeah. So let's let's go ahead and move
00:13:26
on to the next story here. OK did I beat that dead horse
00:13:30
enough thing his dude screams I lead A-Team and I have trauma.
00:13:37
Yeah no accurate James James Marston Cyclops may be suiting
00:13:41
up in a Gem Lee inspired costume for Avengers doomsday.
00:13:45
I'm so on board with this. Sorry, that's a preview of my
00:13:48
tacos. That means bold colors, tactical
00:13:51
gear, and a whole lot of 90s swagger.
00:13:54
If true is it's a signal that the MCU might be done playing it
00:13:58
safe with X-Men aesthetics. No more black leather unless
00:14:03
it's warranted like Madeline tacos on the table.
00:14:06
Does this mean the X-Men are skipping the slow burn and going
00:14:09
full nostalgia? Tacos on the table 100%.
00:14:13
Marvel is not afraid anymore, mostly because Ryan Reynolds
00:14:18
proved you can put Wolverine in the yellow costume and it works.
00:14:21
Full costume because by the end, so the movie starts off with him
00:14:25
in the costume without the mask. He ends up in the full costume.
00:14:27
By the end of the movie it's just a mask and and nothing you
00:14:30
know? Just and and just pants.
00:14:32
And just pants and and and the washboard sexiness that is, you
00:14:37
know, Hugh Jackman, yeah, Hugh Jackman.
00:14:42
And but I mean, like it proves that you can do comic book
00:14:44
accurate costumes, you know, spider man in a comic book
00:14:47
accurate costume. A lot of the marvel characters
00:14:50
in comic book accurate costumes and it works.
00:14:53
So I think that they're they're they're tired of or they're done
00:14:57
with being afraid of putting comic book accurate stuff on the
00:15:00
screen. Especially like for all the
00:15:01
grief I give Cyclops, his costume would look dope in in
00:15:05
live action. Oh, yeah.
00:15:06
Oh, yeah. You get that like midnight Navy
00:15:08
blue in there with the, you know, with the yellow.
00:15:12
But it's like that gold yellow, but not too shiny because you
00:15:16
don't want it to be too shiny. But the red, it's just, it's
00:15:19
iconic. And I really loved Jim Lee's
00:15:22
redesign. I did.
00:15:24
I loved him. So yeah, let's do this.
00:15:26
Let's give Jim Lee the credit that that Asian man deserves.
00:15:29
Jim Lee deserves all the credit for all the amazingness that he
00:15:31
did in the 80s. So I mean and and.
00:15:33
He also deserves some credit for stuff that he did and you know,
00:15:37
in 80s all I'm saying. Yeah, absolutely.
00:15:39
And the 90s, I was saying in the 90s too, and, and, and Image
00:15:43
comics and currently all the stuff he.
00:15:46
Does Wild Storm he like totally, he got his way into CEO through
00:15:52
a backdoor. He did because he got bought out
00:15:55
by DC with Wildstorm and and then he was because he was the
00:16:00
president of Wildstorm for a while and then he because he was
00:16:04
the president of that and then they merged them.
00:16:06
He became like one of the high UPS there.
00:16:09
And then he got to CEO and look what he's done.
00:16:11
He has done this. He gave us James Gunn.
00:16:13
Y'all, this didn't happen without him.
00:16:15
Right. Absolutely.
00:16:16
All right, Yeah, let's go. All right, let's continue on
00:16:20
here. No title, no studio, just vibes
00:16:23
and bat cred. Mattson Tomlin.
00:16:24
That's good. That was good.
00:16:26
I really liked that. That was awesome clip, that
00:16:29
Frank. Clip it.
00:16:30
Frank Mattson, Tomlin Co writer of The Batman, dropped the
00:16:34
cryptic tease, hinting at a new superhero project.
00:16:37
No details yet. Is it DC?
00:16:39
Is it original? Is it secretly Batman Beyond?
00:16:41
Whatever it is, fans are already spiraling.
00:16:44
So tacos on the table. Is Tomlin trying to stay
00:16:46
relevant? So for that question, and I'm
00:16:48
just all tacos in because I do think that's what this is.
00:16:52
I think he's like, superheroes are getting a lot of play right
00:16:55
now. So I'm just gonna tease that,
00:16:58
but I'm not gonna say anything definite.
00:17:00
And that's what I feel like this is.
00:17:01
He's just like, I don't think it's gonna happen.
00:17:03
Yeah, no, but he's doing it this way.
00:17:05
I am still a vengeance. That's what it.
00:17:07
All. Vengeance I like totally doing
00:17:10
the Vengeance vibe right now. I'm Queen.
00:17:16
What about? You my tacos are on the table.
00:17:19
Just mainly because I'm sure it is just a pull for relevancy,
00:17:24
just showing people that he's still out there writing and
00:17:26
whatnot. They had all this trouble with
00:17:29
The Batman 2 and everything going on.
00:17:32
It's it's just him saying, hey, I'm still here, still writing
00:17:35
superhero movies and the next jump is another superhero movie.
00:17:40
I would love for him to do a Batman Beyond as long as Michael
00:17:43
Heaton is playing is playing old Bruce.
00:17:45
I would love that. Yeah, I'd love that.
00:17:47
And then we get a Great Dane ace.
00:17:49
I watched the ugly Dachshund from 1966.
00:17:52
We watched that last night because Husby hadn't seen it.
00:17:54
And then we realized that it's really pretty racist.
00:17:58
There's there's Japanese characters in there and very
00:18:00
race. It's it's very racist anyway.
00:18:04
But yeah. And so now I'm like.
00:18:06
Back then it was white guys playing Asian characters, so.
00:18:10
No, no, this. These were actual Japanese
00:18:12
characters. No, but I'm just saying back
00:18:14
then that was, that was a thing back then.
00:18:15
Like, you know, they were, you know, there was caricatures of
00:18:19
of people and characters back then and it was fine.
00:18:22
It was OK. That was the norm.
00:18:23
Yeah, yeah. Anyway, Suzanne Plechette's in
00:18:25
it, but it's a, it's there's a Great Dane in it.
00:18:27
He thinks he's a dachshund. It's adorable.
00:18:30
And so, yeah. So now I'm like, I want Ace to
00:18:32
be AI, want Ace to be a a great day.
00:18:35
I'm with it. But that's it.
00:18:36
Well, let's let's move on to this next story here this.
00:18:40
Last this treasure. Yeah, this treasure hunt stuck
00:18:42
in development purgatory. Josh Brolin revealed that
00:18:48
Goonies 2 has had five different scripts over the years, each one
00:18:53
trying to crack the code of a worthy sequel.
00:18:56
Whether it's legacy kids, returning cast or a full reboot,
00:19:01
the project's been circling the map without finding the app
00:19:05
tacos on the table. Should they go full legacy
00:19:07
sequel or reboot with new kids? So missed opportunity in saying
00:19:14
this script never says die. Well, yeah, I could have gone
00:19:17
that way. I guess it's not the scripts
00:19:20
that never say die because there have been 5 of SO.
00:19:24
The script will just never die. Just make keep making them what
00:19:28
I think. I think that this should be a
00:19:29
hybrid. So I think that there should be
00:19:32
a whole full legacy thing where it's the adults as you know,
00:19:36
it's it's them still being friends over the years and you
00:19:41
know, everything kind of happening over the years, but
00:19:43
it's their kids going on the adventure.
00:19:45
Yeah, I, I was thinking like maybe a, like a passing of the
00:19:49
torch kind of thing where, you know, they have to come back and
00:19:54
all get together for some reason.
00:19:55
And then an adventure ensued and their kids get involved and it
00:20:00
becomes like this really cute, hopeful thing and everybody hugs
00:20:03
at the end. And there's got to be like some
00:20:05
weird. And then Cyndi Lauper does
00:20:08
another song for them. There's got to be some weird
00:20:10
tangential connection with, like, more for tellies getting
00:20:14
involved in this. Yeah.
00:20:16
You know, it's like, yeah, like 30-40 years ago you killed my
00:20:20
grandmother or, you know, all this other stuff.
00:20:22
And it's like, you know, I also feel like there is much needed,
00:20:29
like what happened to Sloth. Yeah.
00:20:31
You know, is he still friends with them?
00:20:33
You know, like, is he still friends with them or anything
00:20:35
like that? Like, you know, I, I, I would, I
00:20:38
would love to see kind of like what what happens to Sloth.
00:20:41
Like, you know, was the, were they still friends with him
00:20:42
after all of that? You know, is he did he survive
00:20:46
out to this point? He's an old man with a, with,
00:20:49
with like an eye on his cheek, you know what I mean?
00:20:51
Like. Yeah, or maybe they come back
00:20:53
for his funeral. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:20:55
You know they have a whole. Thing then then that way, yeah,
00:20:58
you don't have to like figure out what he would look like now
00:21:00
or anything like that. And then you have, but he's
00:21:02
there for, you know, they get there for the funeral and then
00:21:05
they realize that there's some sort of mystery that he's left
00:21:08
them and they have to figure it out.
00:21:09
James saying what if it's the Fratellis getting out of jail?
00:21:12
Oh, it could be that. Yeah, it could be that.
00:21:14
And then Sandra, Betty said. I was literally just typing that
00:21:18
phrase, though. Well, you know.
00:21:21
Women's minds think alike though.
00:21:23
I I just want to see, I want to see what happened to Data when
00:21:26
he got older. It's just, you know, right.
00:21:29
So I, I like if they, if they make it a parallel of real life
00:21:33
and it's like, yeah, so Data gets older and he becomes, he
00:21:35
becomes a martial artist and becomes a stuntman.
00:21:37
And he, he, he did all the stunts for one of the most
00:21:41
successful movies of all time, because in real life he did all,
00:21:44
he did all the stunt work for the Matrix.
00:21:47
So it's like. Right, Yeah, no, I and yeah,
00:21:50
maybe they do that. But then like, if they did that,
00:21:52
then it would be like, I guess they could because isn't Josh
00:21:55
Brolin and Josh Brolin is Sean asked an older brother.
00:22:00
Right, Yeah, yeah. OK, I thought that I look it's
00:22:02
been a minute since I've seen it, so I.
00:22:05
Mean out of all of them, the only one that didn't, the only
00:22:08
one that didn't continue on acting, was Chunk, because Chunk
00:22:12
became a lawyer in real life. No, but I'm saying like if you
00:22:15
went by like how they did it, then that's it.
00:22:18
Like dated did that and then you've got James, Josh Brolin
00:22:22
and Sean. But no, Josh Brolin's character
00:22:24
could have basically done everything that Josh Brolin did.
00:22:29
Like it really screwed him up after this.
00:22:31
And so he went on to be in like, you know, be one of the bad boys
00:22:34
in LA and then, you know, and like, because that's what he
00:22:37
did, but not mention the acting part.
00:22:39
And then he comes back and that's like he and, and Sean
00:22:42
Astin's character who like, maybe did like local commercials
00:22:46
or whatever, and then he's like the mayor of the town now or
00:22:48
something like that. You just tweak it a little, but
00:22:50
kind of keep it similar, right? That would be amazing.
00:22:53
I would love that. I don't think they'd want that
00:22:55
though. I I would think that they would
00:22:56
be like, no, I don't want my life in this.
00:22:59
Hey, come on. I mean, goonies never say die,
00:23:00
but I got paid for that, you know, kind of things anyway.
00:23:06
That's that's it for the rumors here.
00:23:09
So we're we're moving chugging right along here.
00:23:11
Ladies and gentlemen, let's jump into the next portion here.
00:23:16
We've got a whole bunch of news to cover.
00:23:18
Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the download.
00:23:27
Is it over? Are we done?
00:23:28
All right, show's done. For more news, trailers,
00:23:31
reactions, check out the distance nerdings and posts.
00:23:33
Let us know what you're nerding out on guys.
00:23:35
We want to talk about it on every chance that we get.
00:23:38
We want to talk about all the things you guys are all nerding
00:23:40
out on over there. Now.
00:23:42
This is casting cash. We're staking our claims while
00:23:46
bringing in homes this week. Jen, take it away.
00:23:49
So we first we have If he's dreaming and new in town, he's
00:23:54
either undead or about to be. That's right, King's Burns burn
00:23:59
furnace burns. Just going to say Burns because
00:24:02
Jules Fern. I'm saying.
00:24:03
Burns joins Hulu's reboot as Carson, a Junior Olympian
00:24:08
heartthrob at New Sunnydale Academy and the object of Slayer
00:24:12
and training Nova's crush. The pilot's still under wraps,
00:24:16
but with Sarah Michelle Gellar back and Chloe Zhao directing,
00:24:20
this Buffy verse revival is stacking serious talent.
00:24:24
Did we talk about? He told the Linguist.
00:24:26
Directing this like have we talked about?
00:24:27
Yeah, yeah. I think when when we when it
00:24:30
first broke that they were thinking of doing it and Sarah
00:24:33
Michelle Gellar had talked about it.
00:24:34
They're talking that she said that Chloe Zhao was doing it.
00:24:37
I know we reported on it. I swear I said those words on
00:24:40
the show. Yeah, because I mean, that's
00:24:41
that's that is going to be amazing.
00:24:43
Chloe Zhao is such a good director.
00:24:45
Like it's going to be great to see her directing this.
00:24:48
Yeah, they've got a lot more. It's a lot more female lead this
00:24:51
time, which I think is also good.
00:24:53
But yeah, I think it's going to be amazing.
00:24:55
I'll fuck. It's going to be cool.
00:24:56
And you know, he would be, he's, he'd be a cute crush for the,
00:25:00
for the girl playing Nova. She'd totally crush on him.
00:25:03
So yeah, I like it. I like it.
00:25:05
You know, he's going to be a crush and that he's a Junior
00:25:07
Olympian. That means that he's going to be
00:25:09
able to do some acrobatic stuff. So he'll be good on her Scooby
00:25:13
game. Or, or is he her Angel?
00:25:15
I he might be. I mean, he is if he it said.
00:25:18
If he's dreamy and new in town, he's either undead or about to
00:25:21
be. Yeah, that's why I was saying
00:25:22
yeah, I think he ends up being a vampire or something.
00:25:24
That could be that, but I mean, Junior Olympian.
00:25:27
Anyway, I'm like, totally getting ready to go off on a
00:25:29
tangent. Let's move on.
00:25:32
Turns out Holmes is just fashionably late to his own
00:25:35
mystery. Robert Carlyle is stepping into
00:25:37
the deer stalker as Sherlock Holmes in Season 2 of CBS's
00:25:42
Watson. After a season of hallucinations
00:25:45
and medical mysteries, Holmes returns from the dead,
00:25:48
literally, to confront Watson with a buried secret that's more
00:25:53
than just emotional baggage. I think that's kind of cool.
00:25:56
I didn't even know that there was the Watson show going on on
00:26:00
CBS. It tells you how out of that is.
00:26:02
Because I love the Holmes, Sherlock Holmes that Benedict
00:26:06
Cumberbatch did. Yeah, I loved that one.
00:26:10
The BBC One, though. I'm a huge Sherlock Holmes fan
00:26:13
though. I mean, I'm, I'm AI like
00:26:15
Sherlock Holmes as a character and, and I've always loved the
00:26:18
books and everything like that. So I mean, it's always
00:26:21
interesting going into this. It seems more modern.
00:26:23
Yeah, it does. Like it's not kind of like
00:26:25
Sherlock Holmes in the BBC One, but not as British.
00:26:29
Interesting, you know what I mean?
00:26:30
Like it's just not as British, more Blackpool.
00:26:33
You know what I always wanted is I always wanted more of those
00:26:36
Mick G movies. I really liked the verse 2 that
00:26:39
he did and like kind of wish that they did more with our DJ.
00:26:42
Oh yeah, yeah, that would have been fun.
00:26:44
Those movies were good. Yeah, they were good.
00:26:46
Yeah. Anyway.
00:26:47
Yeah. I'm not gonna.
00:26:49
Go. From vampire crushes to
00:26:52
Victorian ghosts, we all need merch people.
00:27:00
Did I? Did I know too early?
00:27:01
Again, I jumped in. Every week.
00:27:04
I get you. Every week.
00:27:06
Premature merch. Premature merch?
00:27:09
Oh, I can't think of one. Yeah, yeah.
00:27:12
Premature immersion. Immersion.
00:27:16
Say that past 10 times. Premature, immature relation,
00:27:19
premature. All right.
00:27:21
Somewhere Mrs. von Rein is sight what is sighing into her tea,
00:27:26
sharpening her wits. It takes place in America.
00:27:29
I know, but I'm doing that because like, it's like, you
00:27:31
know, a late 1800s golden, golden age.
00:27:34
It's they, they still talk with those erudite accents and you
00:27:38
know, it's, it was a thing. It was.
00:27:39
You've never you've never seen the show, have you?
00:27:41
I have not, but I mean, it was a thing.
00:27:44
HBO has announced that sees the Season 4 renewal for their
00:27:48
period drama The Gilded Age. Renewal news comes as the series
00:27:53
has aired 6 of the 8 episodes in its third season.
00:27:56
The Season 3 finale is scheduled to air on August 10th.
00:28:00
Jen, you're watching this, right?
00:28:01
I'm obsessed with this. I actually have loved it since
00:28:04
it first came out. I am.
00:28:06
I'm a myriad of fandoms here. I love period piece dramas and I
00:28:12
like weird sci-fi stuff, you know?
00:28:15
I just like what I like. Anyway, I love this.
00:28:18
And I actually am kind of a fan of the Gilded Age historically.
00:28:23
So it's been kind of nice to see who they based the characters on
00:28:27
and how they kind of tweaked things a little to make it not
00:28:31
not as like true to historical stuff.
00:28:34
So kind of how they did with Downton Abbey.
00:28:36
It's the same people that do Downton Abbey.
00:28:38
I really liked it, though. I'm really glad that they're
00:28:41
doing a fourth season because the way that they laughed left
00:28:44
it on Sunday, someone got shot, Paul.
00:28:47
I'm saying somebody got shot. And this app is this next
00:28:52
episode on this Sunday season finale.
00:28:55
So I'm like, how is this going to end?
00:28:56
What's going to happen? I am so invested.
00:28:59
I'm like, Oh my gosh. And the dresses are amazing and
00:29:02
they're brightly colored and they're just so it's just nice.
00:29:05
It's it's beautiful. And it's very much like a like
00:29:09
if you were watching a play because like everything is so
00:29:12
gorgeous and larger than life. And then the the dialogue is
00:29:17
just amazing. And it's just really, it's
00:29:19
really neat. And it's very like you can see
00:29:22
societal glasses and class conflict And like there's a an
00:29:26
African American character in it named Peggy and she's the
00:29:30
secretary of Misses Van Ryan and and her family is part like is
00:29:36
like wealthy African American. And so seeing them and now we
00:29:41
see her family and their part of, of how was in the Gilded Age
00:29:46
and how African American society was in the Gilded Age.
00:29:50
And so, and that's kind of that's playing out this season
00:29:53
because she's in love with someone and his parents were
00:29:57
freed. They were always free men.
00:29:59
Whereas her Peggy's dad is an emancipated slave, but her mom
00:30:04
is a free, it was always a free, a freeman.
00:30:07
And so so you're seeing that like how their hierarchy is how
00:30:11
the African American society's hierarchy he was back then
00:30:16
versus the, you know, Caucasian. And it's just, it's really
00:30:19
interesting. It's really cool.
00:30:21
And it's very woman positive. They talk her about, they talk
00:30:24
about the suffragist movement like so much and how and the
00:30:28
women in it are not like, and I just must do what my my husband
00:30:32
says. They're like, yeah, I'll get him
00:30:34
to do what I want. I mean, it's very female forward
00:30:37
though. Anyway.
00:30:38
All right. I went on way too long.
00:30:41
Let's go ahead and move on here. Oh yeah, Netflix dishing out
00:30:45
more K pop ramen for everyone. Netflix and Sony Pictures
00:30:49
Animation have a surprise mega hit.
00:30:51
K pop Demon Hunters, the stylish animated adventure about AK pop
00:30:57
girl group who battled demons and secret has not only
00:31:01
dominated the streaming charts, it's now Netflix most watched
00:31:05
animated movie, ranking up more than 26 million views just last
00:31:11
week. According to reports, Netflix is
00:31:13
planning a full trilogy. The streamer is eyeing a live
00:31:17
action remake, a live action stage musical, and even a TV
00:31:23
series set in the world of Hun tricks.
00:31:25
The K Pop Demon Hunter soundtrack debuted at #1 on
00:31:29
Billboard soundtrack chart and came in at #8 across all albums.
00:31:34
More demons, more hunters. I don't think you're ready for
00:31:37
this takedown. I think that's from it.
00:31:40
I haven't seen it though. I I don't know, but I wanted to
00:31:43
go all kind of like K Pop happy with that.
00:31:45
I hope I hit the vibe. So Netflix beating the horse,
00:31:50
it's basically like, OK, hey, we did well with the first movie.
00:31:53
So now we're going to do 3 movies.
00:31:55
We're going to do a live action remake.
00:31:56
We're going to do a live action stage musical.
00:31:58
The musical I think would do well.
00:32:00
The live action remake I don't think is needed because it's
00:32:03
like you guys just did the movie and you're going to do a live
00:32:06
action remake already just because you don't need to do
00:32:08
that. If the movie's already
00:32:09
successful, you don't need to do a live action remake.
00:32:11
If anything you're just going to piss off the people who like the
00:32:13
live the anime. Yeah, but no, no, no, that's the
00:32:17
thing. It's totally different with K
00:32:19
pop. Like they want everything now
00:32:21
like they that's how it is like because these K pop groups, they
00:32:24
don't last that long. The good ones last for a while.
00:32:27
But if if there's one good one and the others are kind of so so
00:32:31
that one has a career and the others like disappear and it
00:32:34
just and it just cycles through. It's crazy.
00:32:37
So no, I think this is perfect. Do all of it, get them dolls, do
00:32:42
all the I want merch. Let's do this, make it the
00:32:45
biggest thing ever. Let's do K pop and let's do
00:32:49
supernatural stuff. I think this is a marriage made
00:32:52
in heaven. Koreans love supernatural.
00:32:54
Stuff, it's not that it's it's who I don't have faith in is
00:32:57
Netflix. It's I think that Netflix is
00:32:59
gonna screw this up. Not that yeah, there's anything
00:33:01
with K Pop or anything with with all of this.
00:33:03
I think this is Sony's like, oh, whoa, you know what?
00:33:06
We did something good and we have to beat beat it to living
00:33:09
the living hell out of it. And then Netflix is just like,
00:33:11
Oh yeah, no, we're war with that.
00:33:13
Let's do this. And it's like, no, you know,
00:33:15
like guys, curate what you're doing, right, Curate what you're
00:33:17
doing like it's it's in the end, it should always be quality over
00:33:21
quantity, right? So rather than trying to flood
00:33:24
the zone with 1000 different versions of it, OK, cool.
00:33:27
Make a trilogy of movies. If you do a live action, don't
00:33:30
do a remake. Do something that is in that
00:33:32
universe, you know what I mean? And do something where like it's
00:33:35
an entirely new movie, maybe new characters.
00:33:39
Or if you go live action, you get like an actual K pop group
00:33:43
to play the characters and and do all that right, like, you
00:33:46
know, like, like again, what I what I'm hoping for is.
00:33:50
I thought AK Pop group was playing these guys.
00:33:53
I mean like live action. Like if you're gonna go live
00:33:55
action. Like, oh, like, OK.
00:33:57
Yeah, have. Why not have the K pop group
00:33:59
that did the voices be the ones that are the live action one?
00:34:04
Yeah, well, I mean like make it but, but make it a another
00:34:08
adventure. Don't make it the same exact
00:34:10
thing, right? Like, Oh yeah, make it like
00:34:12
another story that lives within in that universe and you get
00:34:16
multimedia, you know, kind of like takes on different things
00:34:21
within this universe because that build the lore, that builds
00:34:24
the characters. Now you have a live action
00:34:26
version of the animated characters and that's more merch
00:34:29
like it's, it's now you can go and do a, a nationwide tour of
00:34:34
the characters doing, you know, a, a stage show and then you do
00:34:38
a musical and then you do a TV show and, and things that live
00:34:42
within that universe. And like I, I, I.
00:34:44
Want and then you take it back to animation.
00:34:46
But but yeah, well, like what I want is is variety that is
00:34:51
cognizant of the of of the property without just rehashing
00:34:56
the same thing over and over again just so you guys can make
00:34:58
money. But we were successful doing it
00:34:59
this way. So keep doing the same thing but
00:35:01
in different formats. Like no, just expand on it,
00:35:04
right? Like expand on different things.
00:35:06
It's kind of like how you know, again, you you do things in
00:35:09
different medias so that you get you get different audiences and.
00:35:13
You so, James said. The way that the story is told
00:35:16
is generational. It's set up for spin offs so.
00:35:20
Yeah, that's I feed into what I'm saying.
00:35:22
Well, it feeds. It literally feeds into what I'm
00:35:23
saying is, OK, now if it's generational, then you have a
00:35:28
live action movie that takes place in the past and it's their
00:35:31
ancestors or you take something that is in the future and it's
00:35:34
their children or their grandchildren that are that are
00:35:37
in the role. And you can have people who are
00:35:39
playing different characters within that universe.
00:35:41
Like I don't don't rehash the same thing.
00:35:43
Don't take the first movie, take that exact story and then go and
00:35:47
turn it into a live action thing.
00:35:48
Because where they fail with that is, well, we can't make it
00:35:51
the same thing. That was the animated version.
00:35:53
So we're going to take make it essentially the same movie, but
00:35:55
we're going to put a twist at the end that that completely
00:35:58
throws everything off and pisses off the fan base.
00:36:00
And then, and then you have something that doesn't do well.
00:36:02
Like I, I, I, I'm when I'm trying to give advice on here,
00:36:05
like like Sony even listens to us, but I mean like the advice
00:36:08
that I'm giving is more do things that live in the same
00:36:12
universe and is not the same thing over and over again.
00:36:15
OK, I agree with you. It's it's expand on the
00:36:18
property, expand on the war, expand on the universe.
00:36:22
If you're going to do something live action, make it something
00:36:24
that lives within that universe and is not the same thing again.
00:36:28
OK, You know what I mean. I do know what you mean.
00:36:30
I I, I agree with you, you know, have a other stories that live
00:36:34
in the universe that don't tell the same exact story over and
00:36:37
over again. They got it.
00:36:39
Look, James is going. They got it.
00:36:41
They know what they're doing. No they don't because Sony and
00:36:43
Netflix both fuck this up all the time.
00:36:45
How can you be arguing with him when he isn't even on the show?
00:36:48
Because he's arguing with me in the chat.
00:36:50
So it's what's going on. I'm sorry, I'm beating the
00:36:52
horse. Let's let's move on here.
00:36:53
You got we. Oh my God, yes, let's go, let's
00:36:56
go Hi, sketchy guy. That's you.
00:36:58
It's. Me.
00:36:59
I was going to give this one to you.
00:37:00
It's Buffy. Oh, I mean, I can do it.
00:37:02
I don't care. All right, Buffy's mentoring the
00:37:04
new Slayer like a hell mouth hardened Yoda.
00:37:08
Lot details for the Buffy the Vampire Slayer sequel series are
00:37:11
finally out, teasing a new heroine stepping into the
00:37:14
supernatural spotlight. And the original Slayer, Sarah
00:37:19
Michelle Gellar, is not only involved, but she's dropped a
00:37:23
training video with Ryan Kiera Arms.
00:37:26
That's the new Slayer. No word yet on how deep Geller's
00:37:29
role goes, but one thing's clear, the hell mouth isn't done
00:37:34
with us yet. She's got the scars, the sass,
00:37:37
and now a Slayer in training who thinks vampires are retro God.
00:37:45
I mean, I mean, I'm interested in in seeing where they take the
00:37:48
story and how it goes. I want to see Sarah Michelle
00:37:52
Gellar training the new Slayer, or at least, yeah, how she's
00:37:55
involved with everything in there.
00:37:57
I mean, it's an interesting story either way though.
00:37:59
Yeah, I'd like to see because, you know, obviously they'll have
00:38:02
to wrap up the the end of the first series like explain how
00:38:09
Sunnydale is even still there because last we see it's a hole
00:38:12
in the ground. So do is that now Sunnydale says
00:38:16
Sunnydale Lake and there it's like a town or has has built up
00:38:20
over that lake or something. I it could be something like
00:38:22
that, but I, I, I'm interested to see that.
00:38:25
And then I'm also interested in is, you know, are they, if they
00:38:29
are going to address that and Buffy activated all the slayers
00:38:34
is, is this the next generation Slayer that because she
00:38:38
activated them all that Nova is the character's name is going to
00:38:44
be like the new like alpha Slayer from like is the next
00:38:48
bloodline, so to speak. You know what I mean?
00:38:50
Like, you get what I'm saying, the energy, what I'm saying, OK.
00:38:52
Because I think that that would be a lot more interesting to
00:38:57
have where Buffy basically takes on the Watcher role and does
00:39:02
train her. But because she's a Slayer,
00:39:04
she's a former Slayer, still a Slayer.
00:39:07
She is, she takes it a different way than maybe the Watchers do.
00:39:11
And, you know, you could bring back Giles.
00:39:13
You can bring back a lot of characters to just come in and,
00:39:16
you know, guest * whenever. It's got a lot of possibilities.
00:39:20
I really am interested in how they're going to do it.
00:39:22
I really Ryan RKA Ryan Kiera Armstrong, I really like her.
00:39:28
She's got a Sarah Michelle Gellar, which I think is also
00:39:31
funny that she's got three names that she's got that kind of
00:39:34
vibe, the early Sarah vibe from Buffy, like season 1 and 2.
00:39:39
So I do, I think it's interesting.
00:39:40
I think we, I think we could, I think things could be done.
00:39:43
I think I could get, you know, fully invested pretty easily,
00:39:47
so. She definitely looks like she
00:39:48
could be related to Sarah Michelle Gellar.
00:39:51
Yeah, she does, and we've seen her play really sassy in
00:39:55
Skeleton Crew if you guys haven't seen that.
00:39:58
Perfect time to watch it because now you can get a look at the
00:40:01
new Slayer and see her in a similar type role though.
00:40:05
Right. All right, Well, let's continue.
00:40:06
And they're not a sponsor. Disney's not a sponsor.
00:40:09
I mean, we're. Not it's not sponsor.
00:40:11
I mean, I wish we were Shields for her.
00:40:13
You know, almost everybody that we, that we, you know, nerd out
00:40:15
on. But no, we, we, we don't get
00:40:17
paid by any of these franchises. Alas, they don't monetize us at
00:40:22
all. That's right Disney, you can pay
00:40:23
us for all thing you want to do. We will, we will, we will praise
00:40:27
all your stuff if it's good. All right, the silence is
00:40:30
officially breaking again. John Krasinski has finally
00:40:33
confirmed that A Quiet Place Part 3 is happening.
00:40:36
Krasinski will write and direct the film.
00:40:38
The Quiet Place Part 3 will be into theaters July 9th, 2027.
00:40:43
OK, I'm really glad that you did this one because I read that as
00:40:46
shooshing like that, so you had it right.
00:40:51
Or you can. Great read.
00:40:52
Shoosh, right. I was like, are we like snow
00:40:57
skiing, shushing, you know, like that?
00:41:01
Yeah, All right. I just I I've read it totally
00:41:04
differently and I really like your interpretation much better
00:41:07
than. So quick notes on that.
00:41:09
We're going to jump right into the next one.
00:41:11
So Waititi's weird and levy's locked in.
00:41:14
Buckle up your nerf herders, because you're all a bunch of
00:41:17
scruffy nerf herders. Star Wars is finally showing
00:41:20
signs of life with two highly anticipated projects.
00:41:22
Taika Waititi's mysterious Star Wars project has a working
00:41:25
title, Osmic Doom. Oh.
00:41:29
Details about the plot are still under tight wraps, but Waititi
00:41:32
is set to direct from a script written by Tony McNamara, the
00:41:36
guy who did the favorite and poor things, Sean.
00:41:38
Those are Oscar nominated. Right Sean Levy, Star Wars
00:41:41
Starfighter is much further along the studios, targeting a
00:41:44
production start this September in London, with filming expected
00:41:48
to wrap in December, with the movie set for a theatrical
00:41:51
release on May 28th, 2020. 27 So may the Force and good movies be
00:41:56
with you all. You as well, Nanu nanu, nanu,
00:41:59
nanu, nanu. You know what, I'm really
00:42:03
excited about this. I think seeing Taika Waititi's
00:42:06
take on Star Wars, like his very own take living in that
00:42:11
universe, I think is really interesting.
00:42:13
It would be kind of like Wes Anderson's take on Star Wars,
00:42:17
you know what I mean? Like that is just such a
00:42:19
different shift for for people, but I'm really excited to see
00:42:23
that. And I and Sean Levy's
00:42:25
Starfighter, like, the more I hear about it, the more little
00:42:28
like drops come out, the more I'm excited about it because it,
00:42:32
I just, I think it's going to be fun.
00:42:34
Speaking of Wes Anderson. It's going to be fun for all of
00:42:37
us and not fun for Ryan Gosling. That's all I'm saying.
00:42:41
I was saying, Speaking of Wes Anderson, I just watched The
00:42:45
Phoenician. I haven't seen that yet, is it
00:42:48
good? It's pretty funny.
00:42:49
OK, cool. I I really love his stuff, but I
00:42:51
have to be in the just exact right mood to watch his stuff
00:42:55
because if I'm not, I either get really annoyed or like, my brain
00:42:59
just turns off and I'm like, I don't understand any of it, you
00:43:03
know? So that.
00:43:04
Yeah, yeah. Let's continue on here and we'll
00:43:07
move into this next story. Oh my God, what could James Gunn
00:43:11
be teasing now? When Superman dropped earlier
00:43:14
this month, James Gunn sparked interest when he revealed there
00:43:18
was a mural to lookout for in the Hall of Justice.
00:43:22
In a recent chat with IGN, Gunn revealed that at least two of
00:43:27
the characters depicted on that wall will have a significant
00:43:31
role in the DCU moving forward. Gunn's mural is clearly more
00:43:36
than just decoration. It's a meta human manifesto.
00:43:40
So there are a crap ton of characters on this mural.
00:43:44
Yeah. And I mean, it's really hard to
00:43:48
figure out who it's going to be. I mean, there's a lot of people
00:43:51
who are speculating, but I mean, there's so many characters that
00:43:54
are on the mural that it's just kind of like it's, it's hard to
00:43:57
figure it out because with James Gunn, it could be anybody.
00:43:59
Right. I think Max Mercury is a pretty
00:44:02
safe bet because he's a speedster and his character
00:44:05
moves through time. It would be an easy and fast
00:44:10
way. Haha, fast.
00:44:11
I didn't mean to pun that. But a fast way to just be like,
00:44:15
yeah, time travel happens and then not talk about it again.
00:44:18
You know, unless they need to for some storied reason.
00:44:22
But I think Max Mercury is is a pretty logical choice.
00:44:27
I'd like to see Liberty Bell because I really want them to
00:44:32
bring in Infinity Inc and but I don't think that's going to be
00:44:37
top priority. So that may be a down the line.
00:44:40
Maybe I get ATV show out of it kind of thing and I'm fine with
00:44:43
that. But yeah, I I think there are
00:44:46
other characters that could that he would want to use now that
00:44:51
are going to be important. But I think Max Mercury is 1.
00:44:54
I don't know if the what is it a Rostios, the the exiled Amazon.
00:44:59
I don't know if that then if she's going to be important now.
00:45:03
I think she might be later if they decide to do the Artemis
00:45:08
storyline like they did in the comics where she came from.
00:45:12
Like I can't even remember what it's called, like Shambhala or
00:45:15
something. It was the exiled tribe of
00:45:18
Amazons. And so they might use her for
00:45:21
that. I don't see her as being
00:45:23
integral. I think if they're, you know,
00:45:26
with Paradise Lost, I did say that last week, I think, but I
00:45:30
don't think she's going to be that important.
00:45:32
I think she might be mentioned in the Amazon's political drama
00:45:37
thing, but I don't think she's going to be that important.
00:45:40
I would say if I had to put my money on it, I I definitely
00:45:44
think Max Mercury and oh gosh, fan me want phantom lady.
00:45:49
He wants phantom lady. So I just I just looked up every
00:45:52
character that was supposed to to be on on this mural.
00:45:56
So Madam Xanadu, Silent Night Xoristos.
00:46:01
Xoristos. That's the one.
00:46:02
She's the the Amazon X file. The Black Pirate, Miss Liberty
00:46:06
Whip, Whirlwind, Super Chief El Diablo, Iron Munroe, The Ghost
00:46:11
of Flanders. Sandman.
00:46:13
Wesley Dodd's version of Sandman.
00:46:15
Amazing. Yeah.
00:46:16
Which, yeah, amazing man. I think that.
00:46:18
I think he might be 1 as well. I think amazing.
00:46:21
Amazing man is interesting because if amazing man is a part
00:46:24
of this, that means Ultra Humanite is going to be a part
00:46:27
of this. So that kind of excites me if he
00:46:30
does go with the amazing man because that is an explanation
00:46:32
to bring in the the Ultra Humanite who is an amazing
00:46:35
character. Now standing next to amazing man
00:46:38
is Zatara, which again makes a lot of sense.
00:46:40
Bringing Zatara in is there are versions of Zatara who become
00:46:47
who become Nobu? Yeah, but also Zatara is
00:46:50
Zatana's dad, right? So that's the other thing I was
00:46:53
gonna bring up was that she's that's Zatana's dad, but I mean,
00:46:56
again, him merging with Nobu and and that's that's another, you
00:47:01
know, that that's something that that easily easy to bring in.
00:47:05
You mentioned Liberty Bell, bullet man.
00:47:07
You mentioned Max Mercury bullet girl is in this TNT and dynamite
00:47:11
or yeah, jokey characters, but I mean, like they're there.
00:47:15
Phantom Lady. Atomic Knight.
00:47:17
Freedom Beast. Now here are ones that that kind
00:47:20
of make more sense to me. Wildcat is a major character in
00:47:23
DCU to begin with, right? Vibe, Gunfire.
00:47:26
And of course 1 character who's already making a splash.
00:47:29
Max Lord is at the end of that mural.
00:47:31
Right. Yeah.
00:47:32
And I mean, he might be, you know, he might, that might be
00:47:35
one of them that he's he's talking about.
00:47:37
Could just be Max Lord is one of the characters, right?
00:47:41
Whiplash is Max Mercury, by the way.
00:47:44
They're the same person. It's when he went in the past,
00:47:46
he was whiplash. You knew that, right?
00:47:49
I mentioned whip Whirlwind. Though Or whip whirlwind.
00:47:51
No, that's yeah, that's him. The one in the past, that's the
00:47:54
speedster. I can't remember.
00:47:56
It's whip whirlwind Whiplash. It's whip Whirlwind, I think.
00:47:59
But he's it's the same person in the flash first, just to let you
00:48:03
know, because he went back in time with the Speed Force and
00:48:06
all that rigamarole. But yeah, you know, Wildcat, I
00:48:10
think. OK, here's what I'm saying.
00:48:11
Fan, fan Gen. is Liberty Bell Wildcat.
00:48:15
Logical Gen. is Max Mercury and Max Lord the Max's.
00:48:20
I'm going with the Max's all. Right.
00:48:21
Well, let's let's continue on otherwise.
00:48:24
Were we doing that on this? Did I?
00:48:26
Yeah. I think we've been on this too
00:48:27
long. Yeah, we, we, we will stay on
00:48:29
this forever. But I mean, it's, it's, it'll be
00:48:31
interesting to see what they do on that and, and who who James
00:48:35
Gunn brings in. So let's, yeah, let's go ahead
00:48:37
and move on here. Oh, feeling that Peter tingling.
00:48:40
I don't feel something. Was that weird?
00:48:42
All right, It's been officially confirmed that Mark Ruffalo and
00:48:45
Michael Mondo are joining the upcoming Marvel Studios film.
00:48:48
Ruffalo will reprise his role as Bruce Banner, AKA the Hulk.
00:48:52
Mondo returns as Matt Gargan, the character he first portrayed
00:48:56
in Spider Man Homecoming. But this time, he's expected
00:48:58
expected to go full villain and finally become the Scorpion
00:49:01
Spider Man Brand New Day swings into theaters on July 31st,
00:49:05
2026. And I am all for a comic book
00:49:08
act version of Scorpion. Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be real,
00:49:13
real pack. I do like that that they are
00:49:15
bringing Hulk in there, you know?
00:49:17
Yeah. And then in.
00:49:18
A while, I mean other than she will, you know, but I mean like.
00:49:21
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I and I would, if I
00:49:25
were him, I would stay on the beat in this climate.
00:49:29
But yeah, I like, I like it. I love it.
00:49:31
I want some more of it. I guess I'll have to wait until
00:49:33
July 31st of 2026. All right, well, let's go
00:49:36
continue on here. Mr. Fantastic has existential
00:49:41
dad dread. Pedro Pascal's Reed Richards
00:49:44
won't be calling the shots in Avengers Doomsday, despite early
00:49:48
Buzz director Matt Chapman. Chapman Chapman.
00:49:51
I said I don't know how to say his last name.
00:49:53
Shakeman. Chapman clarified that his
00:49:55
comments about Reed leading The Avengers were taken out of
00:50:00
contact. Pascal echoed his sentiment,
00:50:02
saying his character plays a key role but not as the team's
00:50:06
leader. Expect brains, not battle field
00:50:08
man. When Mr. Fantastic joins the
00:50:11
fight against Doctor Doom in Avengers Doomsday.
00:50:15
Dooms reads. Dooms reads.
00:50:17
You know I wrote this. You'd think I would know how to
00:50:19
say it in Avengers Doomsday Dooms.
00:50:22
The reason Reed can't sleep at night.
00:50:25
Why? Why?
00:50:26
Because he kidnapped his son. No, I'm just saying why could I
00:50:30
not read that? It's like why?
00:50:32
Because he kidnaps Franklin that mean the 100% Yeah, exactly what
00:50:36
he's gonna do. I mean, did you, have you seen
00:50:39
they it leaked online, but did you see the expanded version of
00:50:42
the of the post credit scene? No, what is it?
00:50:46
Did he like take him? Like there's an expanded version
00:50:48
of the post credit scene where he takes the mask off and
00:50:54
basically he's, he's trying to comfort Franklin, right?
00:50:56
And you know, he's, he's looking at Franklin and like Franklin
00:51:00
touches his face while he's holding the mask and goes, he
00:51:03
goes, I'm Victoria. How are you, Franklin?
00:51:05
And then it and then it cuts out.
00:51:06
Oh, OK. They didn't want to show Arty
00:51:09
Day. Yeah, in the movie for some
00:51:11
reason. No, I, I like it.
00:51:13
I I'm one of those people nowadays where I'm like, OK, it
00:51:16
if it didn't make it into the movie or, you know, for whatever
00:51:19
reason, I'm cool with it not doing that.
00:51:21
Now if I want to buy the DVD box set or whatever so I can see all
00:51:26
the deleted scenes. And bloopers and whatever.
00:51:29
Yeah, then I would have been fine.
00:51:32
I'll do that because I'm putting my money into it.
00:51:35
But I'd rather be surprised. I feel like we're just not as
00:51:38
surprised anymore in the world, so I wanted to keep some of
00:51:41
that. There's some surprise left
00:51:43
world. Well, let's let's continue on.
00:51:46
We're going to jump into a slightly bigger story for the
00:51:50
weak here guys, so. Two.
00:51:52
There's two of. Them Yeah.
00:51:53
Oh, I realize I didn't put that picture in the background.
00:51:56
I was too fast. 1 fan threatened the gun at Comic Con, and he
00:52:01
responded with a master class in emotional intelligence at San
00:52:05
Diego Comic Con. A Snyder verse supporter
00:52:07
threatened to run up on James Gunn during the Peacemaker
00:52:10
Season 2 panel as a sort of protest.
00:52:13
Gunn brushed it off at first, noting the absurdity of trying
00:52:17
to intimidate someone in a packed Hall H.
00:52:19
But later he got reflective, posting a thoughtful response
00:52:23
that's now making waves across phantom spaces.
00:52:25
You are the midwife helping to birth that toxic voice into the
00:52:29
world, Gunn wrote. You're helping me make a few
00:52:31
1000 angry voices seem like millions.
00:52:34
He urged fans not to engage with online toxicity, saying
00:52:37
attention only fans the the flames.
00:52:40
Not only fans, but I mean only fans the flames, he clarified.
00:52:43
He's not against. Criticism, that's a totally
00:52:45
different thing. It's a different only fans, he
00:52:47
clarified. He's not against criticism, just
00:52:50
the rage and cruelty that weaponized fandom into something
00:52:53
hostile and farm and harmful. So the question that I that I
00:52:58
have getting into this is, is there a difference between
00:53:00
passionate critique and toxic behavior?
00:53:02
And how do creators like Gun navigate that without alienating
00:53:05
their audience? You know, I mean, I, so I wrote
00:53:08
this obviously and not obviously, but I, I wrote this.
00:53:12
So when I saw this, I wanted to have the discussion about this.
00:53:15
I love these questions because I there I think there is a
00:53:19
difference. I feel like a lot of fandoms
00:53:23
nowadays are fractioning. They're they're they're creating
00:53:27
factions and it's like, well, I love this more than you love
00:53:31
this. Then I and it.
00:53:32
That's not what that's not what it should be about.
00:53:34
It should be about accepting everyone.
00:53:36
And it doesn't matter how long they've loved something or not.
00:53:40
Nobody's gonna have have loved Star Wars longer than me because
00:53:44
I was there when the first freaking thing opened.
00:53:47
You know, I'm not gonna push that into anybody's face.
00:53:50
You know why? I just actually happened to be
00:53:52
alive during that time. If other people had been alive
00:53:56
during that time, they would have experienced the same thing.
00:53:58
It's not a huge deal. I just came into it in a
00:54:01
different way and that's it. We all come into fandoms in a in
00:54:05
a different way. So I do think that it is toxic.
00:54:09
That toxic is very narrow minded and unwilling to compromise.
00:54:14
Passionate critique is I love this so much.
00:54:18
That and the thing that I love about it, I didn't see in this,
00:54:23
and I think that's a different it's hey, I really did like
00:54:26
this, but it wasn't Ma. It's not who I think these
00:54:30
people should be. That would be passionate
00:54:32
critique. Oxidant behavior is I'm not
00:54:35
gonna like this because you have an agenda that that is not a
00:54:39
critique of the actual fandom that is trying to make something
00:54:43
out of nothing though. I I have famously talked about
00:54:47
gatekeeping and why I'm anti gate and why don't like the
00:54:50
concept of gatekeeping and it's all because that's not how you
00:54:54
grow a fandom. That is not how you grow fans,
00:54:57
that that's not how you continue on of the, you know, a legacy
00:55:03
for characters and and different things that are out there.
00:55:06
To say that you're not allowed to like Star Wars because I
00:55:09
watched Star Wars in theaters in 1977.
00:55:11
Yeah, nobody fucking cares, honestly.
00:55:13
Yeah, nobody cares. That's cool.
00:55:15
You you went and saw Star Wars in theaters in 1977.
00:55:18
Awesome. You saw it unedited before Lucas
00:55:21
changed everything, right? But I mean, yeah, in the end,
00:55:24
more movies came out and there are more interpretations that
00:55:27
come out and they're growing the fandom and the the way that fans
00:55:31
connect is through these fandoms.
00:55:34
Now, I understand going into Superman, you have this entire
00:55:38
fanatic group of fanatical group of people who love Snyder that
00:55:42
are just like, you know, well, Snyder can do no wrong.
00:55:45
And there's nothing that Snyder did that was wrong.
00:55:47
And Snyder made an amazing movies.
00:55:49
And it's like I have made my critiques in the past where, I
00:55:51
mean, I've generally been positive about Snyder movies.
00:55:54
I did enjoy those movies because I understood what he was trying
00:55:57
to do. I also understand the the the
00:55:59
studio level of kind of like what they did to kind of mess
00:56:02
with his vision of what he was trying to do.
00:56:04
But at the same time, it's like there are things that are that
00:56:08
he could have done better. Like he does way too much slow
00:56:10
motion. He does.
00:56:13
You know, there's a lot of lens flare that is unnecessary.
00:56:16
There are a little bit of like toxic.
00:56:18
Things one hell of a director of photography.
00:56:21
He is he, I mean, again, he's not the most amazing writer, but
00:56:24
at the same time he didn't make solid movies.
00:56:27
They were very dark for what they were, but they were solid
00:56:30
movies. You know, like we got a
00:56:31
different take on Superman. This version of Superman where
00:56:34
everybody, I, I got into an argument with somebody literally
00:56:37
like 3 days ago on, on TikTok because that's where I always
00:56:40
get in the arguments with people.
00:56:43
No, sorry, this is on Facebook. But this guy basically said
00:56:47
Superman, the Superman movie now is terrible and it's not it
00:56:52
hasn't broken even and it's not going to break even.
00:56:54
I'm like, do you not know how math works, right?
00:56:56
The movie had a budget of $225 million, OK.
00:57:00
It had a global marketing budget.
00:57:02
So not just in the in domestically, but a global
00:57:05
marketing budget of 125 million. That means 350 million to break
00:57:10
even. As of this weekend, they made
00:57:12
550, $7. They broke even $200 million
00:57:16
ago. Yeah, it's, and it's just like
00:57:18
they're like, it's a flop because it hasn't broken even.
00:57:20
Like, do you not know how math works?
00:57:22
This is, that's not how math works, right?
00:57:24
And then I, I had to like, look at it.
00:57:25
And I think what they're, what they're, the comparison they're
00:57:28
making is Man of Steel at the end of its run, at the end of
00:57:32
its run, right, made $664 million.
00:57:36
Now you add that up for inflation, right?
00:57:39
And yes, it made, it made a decent penny.
00:57:41
It made a lot of money, right? Yeah.
00:57:43
Now two things going against this Superman is since the
00:57:47
pandemic, people don't like going to the movies anymore
00:57:49
because they would rather just wait for it to come out at home.
00:57:51
But then also everything is expensive.
00:57:54
Everything is expensive. So a lot of people don't want to
00:57:57
go out to the movies to go see it again.
00:57:58
They would rather would just wait for it to hit Max.
00:58:00
But The thing is, is that people are going to see this movie 678
00:58:04
times. Yeah, that says a lot for this
00:58:06
movie. Yeah.
00:58:07
You know, and where it's toxic is when they try to compare the
00:58:11
movies versus enjoying the movies or what they are in their
00:58:15
own right, right. You know, it's they're both
00:58:18
takes on Superman. You know, I enjoyed both I
00:58:20
enjoyed I actually I went and saw a Man of Steel like 3 or 4
00:58:23
times. I enjoyed that movie a lot
00:58:26
right. But at the same time, this movie
00:58:28
is the most Superman since any Superman.
00:58:32
And that's going to be blasphemous for anybody who's
00:58:34
going to sit there and say, Oh, well, no, 77 Batman 77 Superman
00:58:37
is the best, right? Superman with with Christopher
00:58:41
Reeves is the best Superman that there ever was.
00:58:43
There's problems with that movie.
00:58:44
Yeah, as much as people don't want to admit that what and what
00:58:48
logical space in, at least in comic book logic, does flying
00:58:52
backwards run you back in time? Yeah, that's true right there.
00:58:55
No, I mean they're there. There are issues.
00:58:57
There are definite issues like. None of these movies are
00:59:01
perfect. None of them are perfect, right?
00:59:03
No, they are all, all three of these movies.
00:59:05
I'm gonna go with the first iterations of these versions of
00:59:08
Superman. All right?
00:59:09
Three of these movies were amazing in their own right.
00:59:12
Christopher Reeve was the first time we got a Superman on
00:59:16
screen, that screen that felt like the comic book Superman.
00:59:19
Right. He was.
00:59:20
He was the the Superman and the Clark, right?
00:59:24
He was very bumbling as Clark and he was very slick as
00:59:27
Superman and he played it well. Right.
00:59:29
And we, and no, no disrespect to George Reeves who played the
00:59:32
original Superman in the 40s, but that he he wasn't a comic
00:59:37
book version of that character. It was very much a 1940s version
00:59:40
version of that character and and Christopher Reeve is the
00:59:44
first time we got a comic book version of Superman.
00:59:46
Man of Steel was like if you let Frank Miller write Superman.
00:59:50
Yeah. Yeah, it really was.
00:59:52
It very much was. If Frank Miller wrote Superman,
00:59:55
this is what Superman would be. Now, there are a lot of good
00:59:58
things in those movies. But again, I've I've talked
01:00:00
about like, you know, Superman wouldn't have killed Zod.
01:00:03
I've justified why Superman killed Zod in that movie, but
01:00:06
Superman did not would would not under any circumstance in the
01:00:10
comic. Looks kills odd he wouldn't have
01:00:11
killed. He didn't kill anybody, right?
01:00:13
Yeah, he has proven if you look at Superman versus the the
01:00:18
Superman versus the five, was it the All Stars or the five stars?
01:00:22
I'm trying to remember which one it is.
01:00:23
But basically at the end of that book, he makes it seem like he
01:00:27
lost. It kills the entire group,
01:00:29
right. And in reality he didn't kill
01:00:31
anybody. He basically made it seem like
01:00:33
he was killing somebody and then the Superman bots came and saved
01:00:36
them and held them in in a prison.
01:00:39
Right. OK.
01:00:40
And then the last dude, basically, he made it seem like
01:00:42
he was going to throw him into the sun and was like, the whole
01:00:45
thing is what I'm showing you is what I'm capable of doing and
01:00:48
why I won't do that. Yeah, right.
01:00:50
Why I will never cross that line.
01:00:52
And it shows that Superman is the strongest character in
01:00:56
existence and that he is aware of how much strength he has.
01:01:00
But it's his morality that keeps him human and keeps him the way
01:01:04
he is. And that's why I like James
01:01:06
Gunn's version of Superman is because that version of Superman
01:01:09
is willing to save Squirrel, you know, is willing to make it so
01:01:13
that buildings don't get destroyed when a monster is
01:01:16
Kaiju ING it through the middle of Metropolis.
01:01:19
Whereas Snyder's versions. And doesn't want the Kaiju to
01:01:22
get killed. He didn't.
01:01:23
Even want the Kaiju to die. He was like, there's a there's
01:01:25
an intergalactic zoo that I would have loved to take him to.
01:01:29
He. Yeah.
01:01:29
Superman cares so much about the sanctity of life that he's not
01:01:33
even willing to kill something that was designed to kill him.
01:01:36
Yeah. And and that I say, maybe
01:01:39
kindness. It is punk rock.
01:01:41
It is kindness is punk rock. Now going back to what we were
01:01:44
saying and again just kind of putting a no and a bow into this
01:01:48
whole thing, right? There is a difference between
01:01:50
passionate critique and toxic behavior because passionate
01:01:53
critique is what I just did. Right now there are problems
01:01:56
with all of these movies, but in the end it is a different take
01:02:00
and I enjoy all of it for what it is.
01:02:02
And I will have my problems with each of these movies, but I
01:02:06
enjoy them for what they are. Toxic behavior is literally will
01:02:10
know, oh, Snyder is better than James Gunn.
01:02:12
James Gunn is terrible because he didn't make a dark version.
01:02:15
And really they're just mad because Zack Snyder didn't get
01:02:18
to make his his last two movies. And they wanted those movies,
01:02:21
right? They really wanted those movies.
01:02:23
I wanted those movies. I would have loved to see an
01:02:25
Injustice movie. Yeah, that would have been
01:02:26
amazing. You know, because that's where
01:02:28
he was going next. He was going to do injustice.
01:02:30
And it's like, I would have loved to see an Injustice movie,
01:02:33
but it the cards didn't go that that route.
01:02:35
People are pissed that Henry Cavill didn't get a chance to
01:02:38
play Superman again. OK, that's fine.
01:02:39
You know, he doesn't need to, he can move on to other things, you
01:02:42
know, and he is, he's working on on Warhammer right now as we
01:02:47
speak. And Highlander and Highlander,
01:02:49
which he's a nerd. Voltron, right?
01:02:51
That's right. He's on Voltron too.
01:02:52
I mean, like he's doing other things.
01:02:54
You can allow him to do other things.
01:02:57
Creators like gun navigating things without alienating their
01:03:00
audience or his audience. I love the response because the
01:03:04
whole thing is he's talking about toxicity.
01:03:06
He's talking about, you know, don't elevate the voices that
01:03:10
are angry. You know, just there's no reason
01:03:13
to be. Right.
01:03:14
He was like don't feed the beast, don't give them air,
01:03:17
because if they don't have air, then they don't have anything to
01:03:21
argue about. And so I think that and then
01:03:23
eventually their voice dies out. I and I think that's a great
01:03:27
thing and I think gun has the right idea about it.
01:03:29
It's a hard, you know, tightrope to walk, but I think he's doing
01:03:32
a pretty good job so far. But let's move to the next topic
01:03:36
because we do have another topic and we're getting close to him,
01:03:39
you know, Hi. So let's keep it going, All
01:03:42
right. Nolan's Odyssey is filming in a
01:03:44
news black hole has critics asking if the journey's worth
01:03:49
the cost. Christopher Nolan's upcoming
01:03:51
epic The Odyssey is deep into production, but it's filming
01:03:54
location has sparked serious backlash.
01:03:57
Scenes were shot in Dakla, a city in Western Sahara, A
01:04:01
disputed territory occupied by Morocco.
01:04:04
Morocco for the past 50 years and classified by the UN as non
01:04:10
self governing human rights groups and the Western Sahara
01:04:14
International Film Festival by Sahara condemned.
01:04:18
The shoot by Sahara's statement was blunt.
01:04:21
Dhokla is not just a beautiful place with cinematic sand dunes,
01:04:25
it's an occupied and militarized city whose indigenous Sari Sarai
01:04:33
Sarai population is subjected to brutal repression.
01:04:37
They urged Nolan and his team to halt production and stand in
01:04:41
solidarity with the Say It Again For Me Sarawi people who face
01:04:46
censorship, imprisonment and torture for advocating self
01:04:49
determination. So the question I have, I mean,
01:04:53
this is like a pretty topic, yeah.
01:04:55
Is it fair to expect directors to navigate geopolitical
01:04:59
minefields, or is that part of the responsibility when your
01:05:03
work reaches a global stage? So with this, I do believe that
01:05:09
this is a part of the director's responsibility or just the film
01:05:13
makers in general. The I, I understand you take so
01:05:18
long to scout locations for these movies and it's like, OK,
01:05:21
well the city of Dokla is a beautiful place and the sand
01:05:25
dunes are great. But The thing is, is there are
01:05:27
other places that you can find that are just as beautiful that
01:05:30
I have that will probably have similar locations and similar
01:05:36
views without going into a place that is considered a considered
01:05:44
a non self governing area, like a place where you when basically
01:05:48
says you shouldn't be going right.
01:05:50
He shouldn't be pushing the case just to get a scene for a film.
01:05:55
And I get Chris Nolan is a he's a stickler when it comes to the
01:06:00
cinematography. He's a stickler when it comes to
01:06:02
the filming of these movies. I feel like, I feel like he
01:06:05
could have made a better decision.
01:06:07
Yeah. Again, you, you can go into,
01:06:10
further into Morocco. You can go into, there are other
01:06:15
places, but other places in Western, Western Africa or just
01:06:19
in the Sahara in general where you can go and film these scenes
01:06:23
and get a similar picture. And, you know, and there's
01:06:26
plenty of places in the Mediterranean that you can go
01:06:28
and, and, and, and go on here. What's James saying?
01:06:31
If he didn't shoot there, would we even know, be aware?
01:06:34
OK, so I, I understand where James is coming from.
01:06:36
Is that OK? Maybe he's, his intent is to
01:06:39
bring awareness. The other thing is if you're in
01:06:41
a place like this in, in in particular where it is a
01:06:45
militarized city where people are being, you know, repressed
01:06:50
and people are being imprisoned and tortured and, and all these
01:06:53
different things that are going on, you're also putting your
01:06:57
entire cast and crew in danger. Yeah, putting them in these
01:07:00
places. And that that should also be
01:07:04
your first directive is to is to is to take care of the
01:07:08
well-being of everyone that is a part of that set.
01:07:10
Yeah, I, I find it really interesting.
01:07:12
Christopher Nolan, you know, and in my eyes, it's like from what
01:07:16
I've, you know, understand is that he's usually pretty
01:07:19
conscious of stuff like that, right?
01:07:21
So it is a little surprising to me that that he's the one that
01:07:25
this is coming up for. It's kind of like James Cameron
01:07:28
not doing his research, you know, it's that kind of thing
01:07:31
because James Cameron is like known for basically getting a
01:07:34
doctorate and anything he does, like, you know, any movie he
01:07:38
does. And so I feel like that with
01:07:41
Nolan, it seems a little sloppy to me.
01:07:44
And that's just not something that Nolan's known for.
01:07:46
So I'm a little surprised about that, but I do also agree that
01:07:50
there are other places that you could go to.
01:07:53
But then I also agree with Jane. Would we know about this?
01:07:56
I don't think I would have ever known about this.
01:07:58
I had no idea. There are other I don't even
01:08:00
like. There are other ways to get
01:08:02
visibility on something like this.
01:08:04
Yeah, again, I feel like it is reckless to take your entire
01:08:08
crew and set and everybody and bring them in the middle of a
01:08:12
war-torn area, a place that is going through something like
01:08:16
this, rather than going to a place.
01:08:18
And, and again, you can, you can, you can bring awareness to
01:08:21
this without putting other people in danger.
01:08:23
Yeah. And I mean, if it's a military
01:08:24
state, which what it seems like it's being a militarized city,
01:08:28
seems a little military state E to me.
01:08:31
Yeah. And and it does sound like
01:08:34
persecution is happening. So, you know, obviously they
01:08:37
probably paid the government that's militarizing the city
01:08:41
instead of the people that want to fight back.
01:08:44
And so I feel like, I feel like it was a a poor decision, a
01:08:48
terrible mistake was made and someone needs to take
01:08:53
responsibility. For it this is like trying to
01:08:55
film scenes in Somalia. In Somalia.
01:08:58
Yeah. You know, with, with the amount
01:09:00
of piracy that happens in Somalia, it's not a safe place
01:09:03
to bring, you know, tourists and actors and people who are not
01:09:08
used to being in areas like this.
01:09:10
You, you know, I, I, I don't think they, I don't think they
01:09:14
filmed in all these movies that take place in Somalia.
01:09:16
I don't think one of them filmed in Somalia.
01:09:18
Right. Yeah.
01:09:19
And I in a lot of places don't like, I mean, there are a lot of
01:09:23
countries that look like other countries.
01:09:26
Prague comes to mind. A lot of people like film and
01:09:29
Prague. First up, yeah, everything looks
01:09:31
like Prague. Yeah.
01:09:32
I mean, it's like, you want like old Europe, Prague, Yeah.
01:09:35
You want like shady back alleys, Prague.
01:09:38
I mean, it's really you can, you can really use that for anything
01:09:41
anyway, often topic, but I do think that they could have gone
01:09:45
somewhere else to do it. So and I know that Nolan has an
01:09:49
exacting eye and wants the perfect shot, but it's like when
01:09:53
you get when you step in a geopolitical fed, then you might
01:09:59
have you might have got gotten your shot another way.
01:10:02
So I definitely am with the Phi Shara Sarawi, Phi Phi Sahara,
01:10:10
the Phi Sahara, the Western, Yeah, the Phi Sahara group.
01:10:14
I, I think that he could have gone somewhere else.
01:10:17
I think knowing what's going on in the world for directors
01:10:21
nowadays is a lot is, is an important part of being a
01:10:25
director today. Yeah.
01:10:26
So yeah. Well, let's, let's let's get on
01:10:30
into the next segment here just because this, this it's kind of
01:10:34
down, but we'll, we'll move on to the next segment here.
01:10:37
These are hot. I mean, these were, these were
01:10:39
pretty hardcore topics. I wanted to do that because I
01:10:43
feel like the download should be more like industry topics,
01:10:47
things that that impact not only, you know, us as fans, but
01:10:51
everybody. So.
01:10:52
And I thought these were two cool things to do.
01:10:54
They just both came up the same time.
01:10:55
Yeah. Well, I think we should get
01:10:56
local. Yeah, exactly.
01:10:57
Let's get more local with this week's Geek End update.
01:11:09
Well, ladies and gentlemen, comic cons have been happening
01:11:13
and I'm just going to say that I am laughing on the inside right
01:11:16
now because as soon as we hit the geek end update, I saw
01:11:19
Sandra run to the the the camera right now and it was pretty
01:11:22
hilarious. Yeah, take the finger.
01:11:25
So Well, ladies and gentlemen, this weekend was a con, Nova Con
01:11:32
2025 to be exact, on August 2nd, 2025 here in in Northern
01:11:37
California. It was in Brentwood, CA.
01:11:39
It was a con for cosplayers and for different artists and
01:11:43
different people out there. So here to talk a little bit
01:11:46
more about that con ladies and gentlemen, it is Sandra from the
01:11:49
Delong Family Cosplay. Hello Sandra say con any more
01:11:58
times in like 1 sentence I think he said con con.
01:12:02
I wanted him to call someone con.
01:12:04
Or have we? Have we, Have we conned that one
01:12:08
out yet? Yeah, maybe not yet, because
01:12:10
then he might eventually be a con artist.
01:12:12
I don't know. I.
01:12:13
Don't know about. That he doesn't have the he
01:12:16
doesn't have the moral fortitude for that.
01:12:18
No, he doesn't really. He pretends when he's Deadpool,
01:12:21
but really, no. Are you saying I'm a nice boy?
01:12:24
Sandra, go ahead and tell us about about.
01:12:28
OK, so yeah, this is the first time Novicon was put on.
01:12:32
It was put on by a cosplayer called Lovely Nova and her mom.
01:12:36
And it was all inspired by the love of her daughter who's loves
01:12:40
cosplay. So they decided to put this big
01:12:42
con together. They brought in a bunch of
01:12:44
different cosplayers, vendors, artists.
01:12:47
They brought along sat geeks, which is the main reason why I
01:12:50
was there. And it was just like those
01:12:53
saying it was all about cosplay and cosplayers.
01:12:56
We had there was panels on like foam making like Mickey masks
01:13:01
and there was panels with voice actors.
01:13:03
We had cosplay groups that were doing the cosplay contest.
01:13:08
And one of the members of Drop cosplay dropouts, which is Cos
01:13:13
Bunny, she was dressed as their mascot, which I didn't know
01:13:17
about until she was announced on stage, which I thought was
01:13:19
really cool. And I met a lot of new vendors
01:13:22
there, one of which hopefully have reached out to you, Phil.
01:13:26
I'm not sure if they have yet or not.
01:13:28
Yet they haven't. OK, so yeah, I was making
01:13:31
connections for everyone and everything and having a whole
01:13:34
lot of fun. Well, that's awesome.
01:13:36
So and it was in Brentwood, CA. Yes, Brentwood, CA the East Day.
01:13:42
I lived. In I went to high school in
01:13:44
Brentwood. So I have a question though, how
01:13:47
warm was it? It actually was really, really
01:13:50
hot. Uh huh.
01:13:51
It was. It was really hot.
01:13:52
And I had to unload the truck and load up and set up the booth
01:13:55
and it was really hot. We were outside.
01:13:58
Yeah, was. But you guys had a good time.
01:13:59
Everybody had a great time. We did.
01:14:02
Overall, everyone had a great time.
01:14:03
It was really fun. Well, that's amazing.
01:14:05
I love that it was it's a cosplayer and her mom.
01:14:09
I think that's I think that's so cool.
01:14:11
You know, like the family, supporting family, you know,
01:14:15
that's a positivity that we need, not the toxicity.
01:14:20
Toxicity. No, that sounds like a disease
01:14:23
positivity. A pox.
01:14:25
A pox on your family? But I mean it in a really nice
01:14:28
way. Yeah, say, well, I'm saying a
01:14:31
convention outside if you, if you know Brentwood Square, like
01:14:35
you know, the area where they had the, the, the, the con, the
01:14:38
library's right there. But it makes the most sense to
01:14:41
have it outside over there. Yeah, and there was like a
01:14:43
farmers market off to the side. So a lot of people were coming
01:14:46
from the farmers market. And then next to us was the
01:14:48
Community Center and a quinceanera was happening.
01:14:51
So there was a. Lot of traffic coming.
01:14:54
Through for everything nice. A quinceanera.
01:14:57
I love quinceanera. They have the best cake and man,
01:15:03
and the and the food is delicious.
01:15:05
I'm just sorry, I'm just having flashbacks.
01:15:08
So when I went to Quinceaneras, so in in San Antonio.
01:15:11
OK, I'm back. I'm back.
01:15:12
We're good. Let's go.
01:15:13
Keep moving. And there was also a rave
01:15:15
towards the end of the night. I didn't I forgot to mention
01:15:18
that and didn't have time to take photos of the rave.
01:15:20
Oh, that's awesome. I wonder what DJ's were playing
01:15:23
because it was probably someone I know.
01:15:25
I don't remember. I'd have.
01:15:26
I'll find out and text it to you later because I believe Frisco,
01:15:29
the president of Sad Geeks, knew the DJ.
01:15:31
OK, like I said, there's a good chance I knew him because I
01:15:33
mean, I used to play that scene so.
01:15:36
You should have canceled that. I was going to say now, since
01:15:38
you were there with sad geeks, you didn't get a chance to dress
01:15:41
up. No, I mean I could have if I
01:15:43
wanted to, but I also I knew it was going to be hot so I didn't
01:15:47
want to. OK.
01:15:48
I mean, hey, you do you. I just wonder I was like, you
01:15:52
went, did you? Could you do it or not?
01:15:54
So yeah, no, I think that's great.
01:15:56
I feel like this is when you do like the summer look of people
01:16:00
or like you would do like a Starfire or a Wonder Woman
01:16:04
because they are not wearing a lot.
01:16:06
So being outside and it being warm, they have less on
01:16:10
probably, yeah, probably a lot better like.
01:16:13
The cosplayers who were there, they were wearing the more
01:16:15
summary cosplays too. So this wouldn't have been a
01:16:19
good place for me running around in my costume.
01:16:21
No, you would be drenched in. Sweat.
01:16:24
I was gonna say I would have given.
01:16:25
I would give you 5 minutes, 5 minutes, and then you just soap.
01:16:28
Yeah, like you were in Footloose and you know, all right.
01:16:32
No, wait. Not Footloose.
01:16:33
Flashdance. Flashdance.
01:16:35
What the hell? We all knew what you meant.
01:16:37
Teaching an entire town with people with dance their butts
01:16:41
how to dance. You know well, do they have?
01:16:44
Flared pen was in that. Ohh, the flared base.
01:16:46
So Sandra, I'm gonna, I'm gonna give you an opportunity here
01:16:52
before we jump into the next con that we're gonna talk about to
01:16:55
talk about what you guys got going on tomorrow 'cause you

01:19:33
We don't 100% know who we're interviewing.
01:19:35
I know that the Sonic 1 is probably gonna be a thing, but
01:19:38
they haven't released the schedule yet.
01:19:40
We just know who the guests are. So we can assume we're gonna
01:19:42
we're gonna interview all of them, but at the same time also
01:19:45
assume that we're not interviewing any of them.
01:19:46
So, you know, we'll, we'll find out more as time comes on.

01:19:57

01:23:26
mom, you know, I'm like, I'm his mom.
01:23:28
I shouldn't go that hard on my side like, you know, I really

01:23:33
Really. Exactly, exactly.
01:23:35
Well, guys, let's do this Jen, since he's not here.
01:23:38
Right now you got to do your own pluggables.
01:23:40
So pluggables, let's go. Hi, I'm no, I'm just kidding.
01:23:46
My name's Bray. I've got my own channel at Bray
01:23:50
Girl that's on YouTube. I occasionally do classified
01:23:54
videos with Shudu and the most recent one is Percy Jackson
01:23:58
season 1. It is.
01:24:00
I feel like it is the best one we've done.
01:24:02
I also, we also do a side series called the Journals of the
01:24:07
Classes. So if you don't know Dungeons
01:24:10
and Dragons classes, you kind of need to know that for the
01:24:12
classified because we take fandoms and we classify them in
01:24:17
Dungeons and Dragons classes. So if you don't know anything
01:24:19
about the classes, do the sister show 1st and then go to the main
01:24:23
show. And then we also have a new
01:24:25
series coming up called Journals of the Ancients and it's going
01:24:28
to be about the different races in D&D.
01:24:31
And yeah, that's it. I'm on all the socials at Fray
01:24:34
Comics or at Fray Girl. Yeah.
01:24:37
And I post really silly things, usually about nerdy stuff,
01:24:42
though sometimes it's about, you know, female positivity.
01:24:46
So as it should be, you never know.
01:24:47
Yeah, that's me, Sandra. I'm gonna give you one more.
01:24:50
Chance. Go ahead.
01:24:51

01:27:31
chance to win the Lego. Let me give everybody a

breakdown of so far who has their extra chances.
01:27:38
Right now the delongs are leading and all of that.
01:27:43
On Jeff's account, I have +6. On girl mode I have plus one.
01:27:47
I'm Leroy David I have plus one. SAT geeks I have plus on Sandra
01:27:51
Betty's account, I have a + 6. So that means between both of
01:27:54
them there's a + 12 comics has a plus.
01:27:57
I think they should roll for initiative.
01:27:59
I know right? The.
01:28:01
Initial mile has a + 1 count the council.
01:28:03
Wades, my God, The Council of Wades has a plus one too, so it
01:28:07
means she's repost that gives them 13 Karen Oaks.
01:28:09
God, I just got a notification that means there's probably
01:28:12
gonna be another one there. Yeah, Karen O'Sullivan Naturist
01:28:16
has a plus one. Jen Stillwell has a for some
01:28:21
reason to have a -1 on here. The plus one, well, you know, I
01:28:25
do things big. That's you know, so it it.
01:28:27
It just went negative. It blew up and went negative.
01:28:30
That's what happened, right? So as of right now guys, the way
01:28:33
we're going to do it is when. We hit 500 and I give away those
01:28:37
Lego essentially, if you're in the chat when I do the Lego,
01:28:41
when I when I do the giveaway, you have a chance to win.
01:28:43
But all these extra names that I have right here get a bigger
01:28:47
piece of the pie. So they are going to have a much
01:28:50
larger chance to win. OK, so guys, get in on it,
01:28:53

01:28:56
