Episode Summary
This week on Distance NERDing, the crew spirals through Marvel multiverse madness—because who needs one storyline when you can mash-up Secret Wars, House of M, Mojo World, and Days of Future Past all at once? We break down wild rumors, drop some Scarlet Witch theories, argue over Captain America’s “anchor being” status, and even bring tacos to the table (literally). Oh, and we might’ve summoned James Gunn in the process. You’re welcome, internet.
From cons in California and Oregon to anime breaking box office records, this episode is wall-to-wall geeky chaos—just the way we like it.

headphones on right trying. To get an e-mail.
00:02:24
No, I was going. To say that, well, my email's
00:02:25
not connected to Suri. I don't trust her with that.
00:02:28
First of all, I also call her Sorcia.
00:02:31
Sorcia because. She's Irish.
00:02:33
Like Sorcia? Like Ron Shosh, Ronan.
00:02:35
Is that the name? Yeah, that's her name, Yes.
00:02:37
She just had a baby, by the way. Did she with her husband?
00:02:40
Congratulations to Sorcia Ronan. Yeah, I only know that because I
00:02:43
follow her husband's Instagram and they had pictures.
00:02:46
I was like, oh look. She had a baby.
00:02:48
Absolutely adorable, but yeah. So that was not what we were
00:02:53
talking about at all and. We are here to nerd together.
00:02:57
Well, ladies and gentlemen, you have now crossed over.
00:03:00
You have now stumbled onto the worst kept secret on all of the
00:03:03
Internet. Ladies and gentlemen, you are
00:03:05
now watching. Sorry, the download.
00:03:24
And the interwebs is yelling at us again.
00:03:26
What that happens, it happens. It happens all the time.
00:03:29
So whenever the Internet yells is that?
00:03:31
Is that not what you call the AOL dial up sound, the Internet
00:03:35
yelling? No.
00:03:38
OK, you're in your van during the day way too long, and I
00:03:42
think you need more air conditioning because sometimes
00:03:43
you say things and I'm like, what are you talking about?
00:03:46
Like the geek end update graphic comes on and you're like, hey,
00:03:49
check out your cubby. We're like, what cubby are you
00:03:51
talking? About that was a joke that Jen
00:03:53
made. I don't know how anybody.
00:03:54
I don't know how you guys don't catch that when Jen's the one
00:03:56
that made that joke. We're like cubby holes.
00:03:58
What? What's a cubby?
00:03:59
Whatever cubicle. OK, whatever.
00:04:02
Cubby I understood. Cubby, I didn't understand the
00:04:06
whole like Internet screaming thing.
00:04:09
Yeah, I. Don't think of the Internet as
00:04:12
like a sentient being, so I just think of that as like a static.
00:04:17
Sandra gets it. Sandra gets it.
00:04:19
I think Sandra gets it. It's two demons yelling at each
00:04:22
other, according to Kitty Foreman.
00:04:24
Hey, you have a sentient being in your pants.
00:04:27
You got the new iPhone 17, OK? That that is as much of A
00:04:30
sentient being you can have OK. Jesus.
00:04:33
All right. Well, ladies and gentlemen,
00:04:34
let's talk about it. Social alone, Fever alone.
00:04:38
Leave her alone this week off deck, we've got Staunton rumors.
00:04:43
We we snack on some MCU rumors while Voldemort's getting a
00:04:48
glow. Up the download.
00:04:50
Anime still slays. MCU and DCU compete for most
00:04:56
news, but we only have eyes for Roku.
00:04:58
Oh, and that's. Going to be so sweet.
00:05:00
And of course, rounding out the end of the show, ladies and
00:05:02
gentlemen, it's the geek and Update.

00:05:09

00:06:37
Please place that in the chat for me fine fellows.
00:06:41
Already on it. So I was telling you guys after
00:06:44
like before the show, James Gunn, like re threaded the the
00:06:50
challenge accepted live. Yeah, me the episode that I was
00:06:55
in with Frank, like something we said in that episode.
00:06:59
So you guys need to check that out.
00:07:01
How cool is it? We got it.
00:07:02
We'll post it. We'll post it after.
00:07:03
I'm so excited for you, like I'm super excited for you just
00:07:07
because of that. I'm probably going to re thread
00:07:09
it here in a minute so. I was so excited.
00:07:11
And also I keep thinking because James Gunn and I, we've been
00:07:15
circling each other for a while now.
00:07:17
And so I think maybe, maybe, maybe this year, maybe this is
00:07:21
the year or next year, maybe 2026.
00:07:23
It's going to happen. Maybe this year, but I just
00:07:25
think, I mean, seriously, like he's liked stuff that I've said
00:07:29
before and his wife has liked stuff that I've said before.
00:07:32
And so I'm just like, oh, I think I need to meet James Gunn.
00:07:35
I think I want it to happen. We are with it.
00:07:38
Well, I am I'm. I'm gonna try to get us all
00:07:42
parts like bit parts in a DC thing.
00:07:45
Oh my God, If you get if you get us parts in a DCU movie that I,
00:07:50
I already endlessly love you, it's gonna be like, oh, yeah,
00:07:53
no, it's it's I'm gonna rival Husby at that point.
00:07:57
If you get me in. If you get me in a movie.
00:08:00
James, just like. I'll take whatever.
00:08:01
James, just like I'll. I'll take whatever.
00:08:03
If I get crushed by like a piece of the building falling down
00:08:06
that Superman doesn't catch, that's fine.
00:08:08
If if I get stuck in a closet because Mr. Terrific couldn't
00:08:13
put the building back together correctly and the door is stuck
00:08:16
shut, I'm OK with that too. I'm fine.
00:08:17
Yeah, I'm. Fine.
00:08:18
No, I'm good. I'm good.
00:08:19
With you, you being in the closet would be more Canon
00:08:22
because we've done that in the show before there.
00:08:25
You go like like I I I would not have a problem being an extra in
00:08:29
in any DCU film. Right.
00:08:31
Would be so amazing. I just think it could happen.
00:08:34
Let's just manifest this everybody.
00:08:35
Everybody start manifesting this.
00:08:37
Let's start a campaign to get distance nerding on a DCU TV
00:08:43
show or movie. That's right.
00:08:45
Well, we can speculate all night and trying and try and get this
00:08:48
going. And James Gunn, I know you've,
00:08:49
you know, famously watched the show.
00:08:51
Just, you know, just call us of. Course he does.
00:08:52
I'm on it. Exactly, you know, call us, call
00:08:55
us, man. But with that, let's jump into
00:08:57
the rumors. Guys.
00:08:58
It's time to start some rumors. Get banned and banned and
00:09:03
Belarus get banned. Let's go.
00:09:07
Get banned. Banned to Belarus.
00:09:09
Get banned. Banned to Belarus.
00:09:11
Ban. Ban, ban to Belarus ban, ban,
00:09:13
ban to Belarus. Yeah, we're ban banned and
00:09:16
Belarus all the songs over. Sorry, let's let's go.
00:09:20
He who must not be named might become she who makes death ears
00:09:24
cry. HBO's upcoming Harry Potter
00:09:27
series might be brewing a bold dark arc.
00:09:29
Shake up the scooper Daniel Reichman The studio is
00:09:32
auditioning both men and women for the role of Voldemort.
00:09:35
That means he. We could be meeting a She Who
00:09:38
must not be Named. Given Rawlins JK Rawlings
00:09:42
controversial stance on gender politics, this twist is raising
00:09:46
eyebrows and 1 tips alike. Tacos on the table?
00:09:49
Will the next Dark Lord be rocking heels and Horcruxes?
00:09:54
That sounds like a party heels and horcruxes.
00:09:56
That sounds that sounds like a bad.
00:09:58
Porn. That sounds like a good
00:10:00
Halloween party right there. I like that.
00:10:02
That makes me. Happy That's actually that's the
00:10:05
so in England they have something called what is it?
00:10:08
It's they're called fancy dress parties and basically you dress
00:10:11
up in costume. But there's one called is like
00:10:14
vicars and tart. And it's like you either dress
00:10:16
up as like a vicar or like a nun or like, well, I guess the
00:10:20
Protestant version of a nun, but and or you dress up like a tart,
00:10:24
a street Walker. Yeah, like, like, like, like a
00:10:27
Horcrux, Yeah. Just a did just a WH or correct?
00:10:31
I like it though. Finally, England's doing
00:10:34
something right. There we.
00:10:37
Go I'm not against this. My tacos are on the table for
00:10:39
this just mainly because it's it's there's been a long
00:10:42
standing with, you know, for all the wrong Warner Brothers does
00:10:45
they do kind of fight back JK Rowling and a lot of the things
00:10:49
that she she does. So like for instance, the Harry
00:10:52
Potter video game, just to piss her off.
00:10:55
One of the main NPCS in the game is, is a trans character and and
00:10:59
they did that specifically to piss her off.
00:11:01
So it's like, you know, like I if again, for all the things
00:11:04
that Warner Brothers does wrong, they do do stuff like this every
00:11:08
now and then just to piss her off.
00:11:09
Yeah, but that was before Zazla, so.
00:11:11
No, the game was during Zazlov all.
00:11:13
It is just Zazlov I. Was kidding because I, as
00:11:17
famously do not like. No, I know that, but I'm just
00:11:19
saying I don't think he's directly involved in stuff like
00:11:22
that. I think it's just more of the
00:11:23
creators of these properties are just kind of like, OK, well we
00:11:27
love the property, but JK Rowling is not the greatest
00:11:30
person, so we're just going to troll her in whatever ways we
00:11:32
can. Yeah, yeah, I'm OK with it.
00:11:34
Tacos on the. Table Yeah, my they them tacos
00:11:39
around. I think that works.
00:11:42
I think he does too. I think I I think we just pissed
00:11:45
off JK Rowling and say Wong, apparently.
00:11:47
What? Did he?
00:11:48
Say he said JK can pull out, she can just say Nope and it's
00:11:51
cancelled. I bet you, I bet you she can't.
00:11:54
I bet Warner Brothers is like. I bet she she can't.
00:11:56
That contract, like if you leave, that's on you.
00:11:58
It's it. This is ours to do what we want
00:12:00
to do. Yeah, I I think in the end,
00:12:03
because Warner Brothers has the movie rights or has the filming
00:12:06
rights, that they can do what they want with it.
00:12:08
But I think that what happens is they are giving her levels of
00:12:12
control so that she can, you know, be a part of everything.
00:12:15
But I think in the end, it's their decision, yeah.
00:12:17
And also all the only thing that they have to to do to to change
00:12:22
it is just to put inspired by. Yeah.
00:12:25
And then and it doesn't have to be anything but, you know, with
00:12:29
the people and they already have the rights to everything.
00:12:31
Yeah. So yeah, yeah.
00:12:32
But I don't know, I guess we'll see.
00:12:34
We'll see. We will.
00:12:35
Let's let's go ahead and move on.
00:12:36
It's Survivor with claws, cosmic race and 0 chill.
00:12:40
The multiverse is crackling like like a vibranium egg.
00:12:45
Rumors suggest Avengers Secret Wars will feature battle world
00:12:49
style mashup with X-Men and Fantastic Four split across
00:12:53
factions Somewhere graveyards. Mojo sense is tingling.
00:12:57
Oh yeah, Mojo. We might get mojo.
00:12:59
Dude, if we get Mojo, it's going to be amazing.
00:13:02
That's world. Come on.
00:13:03
I know right? Expect Mr. Fantastic to face
00:13:06
Doctor Dooms twisted reality while some Fox era mutants, yes
00:13:11
those X-Men may join the fight Council of Reeds, possibly Dooms
00:13:15
Bride. Maybe it's chaos and we love it.
00:13:19
Tacos on the table. Are we heading for a Mutant
00:13:21
meets Mr. Fantastic multiverse melee in Secret Wars Mash up?
00:13:25
Well, my, my tacos are on the table for this.
00:13:28
I, I anytime there's a whisper of mojo, like, you know, that's
00:13:32
it. I think that's the thing that
00:13:33
graveyard and I, I think that's when we knew we were going to be
00:13:36
friends is when we both went. We want Mojo and yeah, so tacos
00:13:41
table. Nice young Phil, what do you
00:13:43
think? My tacos are 100% on the table.
00:13:45
I know that they're probably going to do these kind of like
00:13:50
character mashups from across the multiverse.
00:13:52
It's going to be rather than being like good versus evil,
00:13:55
it's just going to be characters who are aligning in order for
00:13:58
their goals to be met. And in the end, everything kind
00:14:01
of like changes from there. I mean, rumors have been going
00:14:04
around that all the different versions of Reed Richards are
00:14:07
going to be in this movie. So I mean, like, I'm, I'm very,
00:14:10
very excited for this battle world doesn't necessarily mean
00:14:13
that we're going to get mojo. I would love if we got mojo, but
00:14:16
I think they're they're kind of leaning more towards the the
00:14:21
secret wars from kind of like mashing up the secret wars from
00:14:25
the 80s, which was more of a toy grab with the secret wars that
00:14:29
came out in the mid 2002 thousand 10s.
00:14:31
I think where they kind of like, you know, refined it a little
00:14:34
bit. But I think in the end, the idea
00:14:36
is they are going to take all the different variants of
00:14:39
characters that we know and they're going to mash them
00:14:42
together. And we're going to finally get a
00:14:44
clean continuity that has all of the different properties that
00:14:48
they've purchased sense and having them all together in one
00:14:51
place with a consistent history. No, I agree with you.
00:14:54
And and I think that that's what they're going to do.
00:14:56
I just think anytime I hear Battle World, I'm like Mojo and
00:15:00
anytime I can shout out Graveyard, I'm going to do it.
00:15:03
Yeah, yeah. And again, I'm 100% I would love
00:15:06
to see Mojo pop up in this. That would be a good kind of
00:15:10
like like cameo character to stink that just kind of show up
00:15:13
in it. But also like imagine seeing a
00:15:16
live action Mojo and how freaky and scary that would look.
00:15:19
So Husby was saying, oh goodness, sorry, I didn't mean
00:15:23
that. Oh, that was hot, hot, hot date.
00:15:25
Husby said that he thinks Wil Wheaton should play Mojo.
00:15:28
Oh my God, Wil Wheaton as Mojo would be amazing.
00:15:31
Quil Wheaton as Mojo. Yeah, all.
00:15:34
Right. I think you guys are getting a
00:15:35
little too far with this Mojo stuff.
00:15:37
You guys are riding way too hard on this mojo train.
00:15:40
I do see them splitting up the teams.
00:15:44
So maybe we'll get like a few characters like Fantastic Four
00:15:47
and X-Men together and then, you know, something like that and
00:15:50
then they'll meet up later. I almost think about it when
00:15:53
when Iron Man and Doctor Strange and Spider Man met the Guardians
00:15:58
and they started fighting. I think it's going to be that.
00:16:00
And then they have to like find a way to link up together and,
00:16:02
and, and work together. I think it's going to be
00:16:04
something like that. Yeah, I I mean, I can see that
00:16:06
too. You know, genes mean to say the
00:16:08
Council of Wades. No, no, although so that would
00:16:11
be amazing to see the Council Wade show show up in this too.
00:16:14
But that's right. Right now, that's Ryan Reynolds
00:16:18
and Neil Patrick Harris. I think they meant cancel the
00:16:21
Wades as in like their Deadpool cosplays.
00:16:23
Yes, that's exactly what. We I know I was just saying that
00:16:26
like if they did that and then it all right, never mind, let's
00:16:29
move on. All right.
00:16:30
All right, put that back on the screen and I went to the wrong
00:16:33
page. All right, Marvel's got a secret
00:16:36
Stew, a Bruin. Marvel's playing Cloak and
00:16:38
Dagger with Avengers. Doomsday Scoopster Alex Perez
00:16:41
claims some characters, new, old and legacy are being kept secret
00:16:45
until release. Think surprise cameos,
00:16:48
multiversal variants, and maybe even long lost heroes.
00:16:52
The cast chairs revealed so far. Listen to Moose Bouche, the guys
00:16:55
tacos on the table. Is Marvel pulling a Nick Fury
00:16:58
and hiding heroes in plain sight until Doomsday drops?
00:17:01
Hiding in plain sight? I don't know about that, but I
00:17:03
do think they're going to keep some of these cameos or
00:17:08
characters kind of on the back burner until they ramp up into
00:17:12
like them, the frenzy that is, you know, the doomsday media
00:17:16
push, right? So and then I think there's
00:17:18
gonna be some that they don't even throw out there and people
00:17:21
are just gonna find them on screen.
00:17:22
Yeah, Now I, I, you know, the other thing I'm thinking is
00:17:25
there's gonna be kind of like the, the small level, like
00:17:28
Deadpool level cameos where they're gonna end up in like
00:17:32
we've already seen the concepts for this medieval world that
00:17:34
they're, that they may go up to where Doom is.
00:17:36
Like you might see characters just walking in the background
00:17:40
and you can just be like, Oh my God, Oh my God.
00:17:42
It's that crawler and he's just like walking in the background,
00:17:44
but he's not like a main character, you know what I mean?
00:17:45
Like, like I think they're gonna do these Deadpool level cameos
00:17:48
where it's just a character in the background that you don't
00:17:50
even notice. Frey, what do you think?
00:17:52
Yeah, no, I mean, I I I think so I'm my tacos around the table
00:17:55
for this because, you know, I think it's gonna this.
00:17:58
If they're going to do something like this, it needs to be now.
00:18:02
It needs to be during this whole like throw everything at the
00:18:05
wall. Let's see what stick kind of
00:18:07
period that they're having. And I yeah, I like it.
00:18:11
I really think that they are doing that.
00:18:14
I think it's going to be fun, going to be real fun.
00:18:16
Everybody my Dorito. What are those?
00:18:20
The Dorito porn hard shell tacos are on the table.
00:18:25
There you go. You know, now I'm thinking
00:18:27
about, I could see them using kind of C or D list characters
00:18:32
like like America Chavez, right? I can see her popping up
00:18:35
somehow, whether she lives, whether she dies.
00:18:39
Maybe we get, what's her name, Madeline still or Madison.
00:18:43
Madison. Maybe get Madison?
00:18:44
Madison in. The background, you know, I
00:18:47
think characters like. Daddy, Yeah, that would be
00:18:49
amazing. Well, so like they could do that
00:18:51
in one thing. They could be a Carmitage,
00:18:53
right? Yeah.
00:18:54
Still be at Carmitage, you know, and it could just really be, it
00:18:58
could be like a glorified cameo. And that sets up how they get
00:19:01
into secret or. Yeah.
00:19:02
So I mean, like, there's a lot of ways that they can do it.
00:19:05
But yeah, I totally am. I'm on board for that.
00:19:08
Gosh, I'm sad. I'm suddenly.
00:19:10
Am I suddenly craving Doritos? See what Jen did?
00:19:13
Don't hang up the shield just yet.
00:19:16
Despite his end game send off, Chris Evans may return in
00:19:21
Avengers Doomsday, possibly as a multiversal variant or a key
00:19:25
emotional anchor. Scoopster Alex Perez is cryptic.
00:19:29
Don't count Cap out just yet has fans buzzing.
00:19:33
This fan right here. And Evans recent superhero
00:19:37
physique isn't helping the denial game.
00:19:40
I mean, you know, gotta you gotta keep gotta keep in shape
00:19:43
there. Everybody tacos on the table.
00:19:45
Will Cat crash the multiverse party with a I can do this all
00:19:49
timelines moment? My tacos are on the table and I
00:19:53
feel like Captain America is is honestly 616 is anchor being so
00:19:59
and a lot of people are saying that like, um.
00:20:01
Tony was the anchor being, but The thing is, is that the
00:20:03
timeline isn't collapsing on itself because Tony died,
00:20:06
whereas Steve doesn't necessarily die.
00:20:10
He travels in time and grows to be an old man, which means he
00:20:14
didn't die. So the timeline is still, it's
00:20:17
still what it is, right? So I think that he might be the
00:20:20
anchor being and that would make sense to bring him back.
00:20:23
That's pretty. Good.
00:20:23
I like that. I like that.
00:20:25
I want to add on to it. Yeah, I like it so much I'm
00:20:28
going to add it. Add on to it.
00:20:29
What if the catalyst is that he does die and that's what caught?
00:20:33
That's what like is the final like pillar to for the incursion
00:20:37
which like speeds it up. Yeah, no, I mean, I'm with that
00:20:40
because like, like I said, like, you know, the whole thing is
00:20:42
they did all this work to create the concept of anchor beam
00:20:47
between Loki and and and Deadpool and Wolverine, right?
00:20:50
So you have this whole thing where they built this into the
00:20:54
the the lore of the 616. So now this exists within
00:20:58
Marvel. So it's like, yeah, maybe Steve
00:21:01
is the anchor being. That's why he hasn't died yet.
00:21:03
That's why Tony, like a lot of people are like, well, Tony must
00:21:06
have been the anchor being for the 616.
00:21:08
Well, no, the the 616 didn't implode.
00:21:10
So I mean, he was meant to die, which also means that Doom being
00:21:14
a variant of Tony Stark in another universe also kind of
00:21:18
holds on to him not being the anchor being, right.
00:21:20
But yeah. Absolutely.
00:21:21
Steve being the anchor being and again, I love the idea of you.
00:21:26
You like, like you said that at the end of this, at the end of
00:21:28
Doomsday, you they finally kill off Steve Rogers and that
00:21:32
creates the incursion that that that requires battle world to be
00:21:35
a thing. Like that's how they're going to
00:21:37
save the sacred timeline is is through battle.
00:21:39
Right. And they're going to yeah,
00:21:40
because they're going to have to I think it's going to be a fight
00:21:42
for who's going to be the new anchor being or if they can get
00:21:45
Steve Rogers to come from another world.
00:21:47
But I and I think that's it. I do think that we are going to
00:21:50
get a variant cap. And I do think that I think
00:21:54
you're right. I I honestly, I'm just like, I
00:21:56
think you in dart just hit that 20 triple 20 baby.
00:22:01
You hit it and I'm there for it. That just went nowhere.
00:22:03
I apologize. I honestly think I'm going to be
00:22:06
quiet. Yeah, I, I honestly think that
00:22:08
the way it's going to happen when, when, when he finally
00:22:12
shows up, it's not going to be at the beginning.
00:22:13
It's going to be somewhere end of the second act going to the
00:22:16
third act, and he is going to, it's going to be another
00:22:20
Avengers Assemble moment. So he will now have two of those
00:22:24
just what the fuck, Captain America moments?
00:22:27
You know what I mean? Like it's right?
00:22:29
Just like the on your left. Right, right.
00:22:32
Him picking up Mew Mew is like the yeah, that was like, we were
00:22:36
all like. Yeah, that, and I think that at
00:22:41
some point we are going to see him as Flag Smasher, which I, I
00:22:44
want, you know, again, they've established that the Flag
00:22:46
Smashers are a group within the 616.
00:22:49
But I think he's going to come in.
00:22:50
They're not going to just like they didn't call him Nomad when
00:22:52
he showed up as Nomad and Infinity War, right?
00:22:54
Like he is, he is going to show up as Flag Smasher and it's
00:22:57
going to be fucking glorious. So yeah.
00:22:59
I think it's smart that they're like.
00:23:02
I'm your captain now, Wilson, right behind it.
00:23:05
Well, I think Sam is going to fight him and they're going to
00:23:07
have a epic fight because if he comes in as Flack Smasher,
00:23:10
obviously he's the bad guy. He's Captain Hydra, so he comes
00:23:13
in as Flack Smasher. Sam is the new Captain America
00:23:15
and we're going to see a fight between the two of them and Sam
00:23:18
is going to hold his own. And that's going to be a moment
00:23:20
where Sam is going to get that. He's going to get that kind of
00:23:24
hero moment that everybody feels he needs, but a lot of people
00:23:27
are complaining about, you know what I mean?
00:23:29
I just, I, I feel like those, there have been those moments.
00:23:32
Oh, they're definitely. I guess they just haven't landed
00:23:34
enough for everybody. But he he's I, he's my captain.
00:23:37
Yeah, they've landed for me. Captain.
00:23:39
My captain, Yeah. They've landed for me perfectly.
00:23:41
It's just like for everyone. Else I want, I want Chris Evans
00:23:44
to retire so he can come be my third husband.
00:23:47
I mean my Dorito husband. We we figured out he's my
00:23:49
Doritos husband. That's where people go to
00:23:51
retire, all right. Telling you, yeah, Mama loves
00:23:56
her Doritos. OK, I can't keep talking about
00:23:58
this too much. It's all good.
00:24:00
Let's let's let's move on. Keep it going.
00:24:03
To the next story here. All right, same one was talking
00:24:06
about this in the chat. If Storm returns.
00:24:08
Epic Thunder sass and a severe weather advisory.
00:24:12
Alan Cumming. Nightcrawler may have just
00:24:14
dropped a mutant sized spoiler. What's with him and spoilers
00:24:18
just randomly throwing out spoilers when asked about?
00:24:21
Gay and British and he doesn't give a There you go.
00:24:24
When asked about Halle Berry's return a Storm, he replied well,
00:24:28
maybe she does before backpedaling like a Jedi and a
00:24:32
Sith Council with Magneto, Mystique, and Cyclops confirmed
00:24:36
Storm's arrival would complete the X-Men Dream Team Tacos on
00:24:40
the table. Is Storm about to roll in with
00:24:43
Lightning Leather and Legacy? In Doomsday, I say, yes, I know
00:24:49
she's been super coy about it and saying like, Oh, yeah, I
00:24:51
haven't gotten a call on that. But as we have learned from so
00:24:56
many actors so many times, Marvel is really good about
00:25:01
telling people like, act like we've never called you right?
00:25:03
And then they come in and they're a big part of the movie,
00:25:06
right? Like biggest example of Spider
00:25:07
Man, right? Like you look at Tobey Maguire
00:25:10
and Andrew Garfield both saying we're not in the movie.
00:25:12
They haven't called us, we don't know about it.
00:25:13
And they were like big tentpole parts of that movie.
00:25:16
So I, I think that a lot of this is going to be that I think it
00:25:20
is Halle Berry is one of those people that everybody is kind of
00:25:23
like hoping to come back as Storm to get like a proper send
00:25:27
off for that character, for her version of the character and her
00:25:30
coming back as that character. I think she's just holding it
00:25:32
close to the chest. Also, I think she's going to
00:25:34
have a Mohawk and I'm going to fucking, you know, I'm going to
00:25:37
squeeze like a little, like a little.
00:25:38
Like a child. Yeah, I'm excited for that, I
00:25:40
think. I think she's totally in it.
00:25:41
Tacos are totally on the table for Halle Berry coming back.
00:25:45
I think they're just holding it back.
00:25:47
They have to hold stuff back. There's still plenty of time
00:25:49
between now and when this movie comes out for us to talk about
00:25:53
it. So I, I think they're going to,
00:25:54
they're going to just drop it on this one day.
00:25:56
Right, and it's just kind of how we were just talking about and
00:25:58
and the two stories before this about like, you know, surprise
00:26:01
cameos and multiversal variants and long lost heroes.
00:26:04
Like I I think that that is what's going to happen.
00:26:07
We are going to get Halle Berry return because I mean, why would
00:26:10
you bring back the Fox X-Men and not have the entire lineup from
00:26:15
those movies? What do you think, Fred?
00:26:16
No, yeah, absolutely. I I'm on board with this.
00:26:19
My talk is around the table for it.
00:26:21
And I at first I want to apologize.
00:26:23
Alan Cumming is Scottish, I said.
00:26:25
He was British. He's Scottish.
00:26:26
That's offensive, but. What?
00:26:29
No, I just don't want to get. I don't want to upset him.
00:26:32
That's what I'm saying. That's offensive to Scots.
00:26:33
Yes, yeah, that's why I was like I said, British.
00:26:36
I I didn't mean it. I apologize, but no, my talks
00:26:39
are on the table for this. I do want to see Storm with the
00:26:43
Mohawk and I want her to lead the Morlock.
00:26:46
I want us to get some more. Oh my God if we got Morlocks
00:26:48
that would be so dope if we got Morlocks in this.
00:26:51
I think we should get Morlocks and exiles in this because I
00:26:54
want blink. I want blink and nightcrawler to
00:26:56
have like a teleport off. I think that would be amazing.
00:26:59
That would make for a cool fight scene.
00:27:01
Yes, Wouldn't it? Yeah, wouldn't it though?
00:27:04
All right, so. But my talks are on the table.
00:27:06
All right, all right, Well, let's let's let's jump into this
00:27:09
last rumor here. Scarlet Witch gets her family
00:27:12
reunion. It's not who you think.
00:27:14
Wanda Maximoff might return in Avengers Doomsday, but not as we
00:27:18
know. Her rumors point to a variant
00:27:20
from an X-Men universe where Magneto rules Genosha and Wanda
00:27:25
is part of a mutant royal family alongside Pietro and Polaris.
00:27:29
This could finally deliver a long teased father daughter
00:27:32
dynamic fans have craved for. This could also give us that
00:27:36
potential House of M that we've been talking about out forever.
00:27:39
So guys, tacos on the table. Will Wanda warp in his Magneto's
00:27:43
mutant daughter and rewrite reality again?
00:27:46
My tacos were on the table for this.
00:27:49
And I think the reason that this is a rumor is because Elizabeth
00:27:54
Olsen, since she started playing Scarlet Witch, has talked about
00:27:58
House Event and how much she loves that storyline and she
00:28:02
wants to do that. And so I I wonder if that's how
00:28:06
they got her back. But she just recently said that
00:28:09
she was like, I, you know, I, I don't think I want to do anymore
00:28:11
big movies. I want to just stick with the,
00:28:14
the smaller ones that I have like, passion for.
00:28:17
So, Oh, we lost James. Apparently that was offensive to
00:28:20
James. Now we're back.
00:28:22
Somehow we lost all of us. No.
00:28:24
So, so yeah, I I do see that. But also, what a lot of people
00:28:28
tend to forget is that she was after the last Doctor Strange
00:28:33
movie. She was still contracted for two
00:28:35
more movies. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
00:28:37
So I mean, like, as a lot of people were just like, oh, yeah,
00:28:40
well, we don't know if she's gonna come back there.
00:28:42
Well, she's contracted. So I mean, she's gonna come back
00:28:44
for at least two more movies. The thing is, is we don't know
00:28:47
to what extent that was. We don't know if it was like,
00:28:49
oh, a small cameo versus, you know, something where she's
00:28:52
playing a larger role. The majority of us, and I know
00:28:56
the three of us on screen right now, the majority of us feel
00:28:59
like the way that she kind of got taken out out in Doctor
00:29:04
Strange kind of felt like unsatisfying, right?
00:29:08
I want more Scarlet Witch and I think we all agree with that.
00:29:10
So I think that that, you know, I think she also understands.
00:29:13
Yeah, absolutely. I agree with you.
00:29:14
I just, I, I know she wanted that.
00:29:17
I remember her actually. I remember seeing an interview
00:29:20
with her about it and I was just like, oh, OK, yeah, I want it
00:29:23
too. We all want it.
00:29:24
Get on board there. So I don't, I don't know about
00:29:27
all this. I think we've been spiraling all
00:29:30
episode with all these rumors, all these ideas.
00:29:32
You guys are talking mojo. You guys need to just relax.
00:29:35
Let's get through one major like universe ending storyline at a
00:29:40
time. You're going from like Doomsday
00:29:42
to Streaker Wars to to Mojo World to.
00:29:45
House of M to. House of M It's like, Oh my
00:29:47
gosh, let's get through one thing.
00:29:49
Can we get through one thing first?
00:29:51
Like House of M and then all of a sudden then and then we're
00:29:53
gonna get a age apocalypse and then and then.
00:29:57
And then more locks. Are days of Future Past?
00:29:59
Days of Future Past, but like the real days of Future Past.
00:30:02
And then, yeah, the more locks are going to come in and then
00:30:04
and then and then and then and then we're going to get MBX.
00:30:07
Yes, let's do that. So what I'm hoping?
00:30:10
Then the brood comes in with the CR.
00:30:14
Well, the I think the CR is gonna is going to come in sooner
00:30:16
than we think, but. Marvel owns aliens.
00:30:19
You know, they could show up there.
00:30:21
It's in the comics right now, you know, aliens versus
00:30:23
Avengers, that sort of thing. But what I'm, what I'm getting
00:30:26
to, I hope they don't mash up too many storylines.
00:30:29
Like, I hope we don't get doomsday and secret wars in
00:30:33
House of M kind of smashed together.
00:30:35
And we don't and it doesn't get the justice it deserves.
00:30:38
I hope we don't have that, You know what I mean?
00:30:40
Like, yeah. Well, hopefully we'll, we'll,
00:30:42
we'll get some, some years of storytelling.
00:30:44
No, absolutely. I think on the House of M front,
00:30:47
it would be a cool tease to see them as the royal family and
00:30:51
that whole like thing, just as a tease.
00:30:53
And then once like, you know, I would love to see us get in into
00:30:57
a real House of EM and the no more mutants and all that.
00:31:00
But we have to be introduced to the mutants and learn to love
00:31:03
them and want them to succeed and then screw them over,
00:31:07
because that's the only way you get good ratings anymore.
00:31:10
Yeah, is. By screwing people.
00:31:11
Over, I say at the end of Secret Wars, Onslaught walks in and
00:31:14
just ruins everything. Now we're getting.
00:31:16
Onslaught. Great.
00:31:18
I'm just. A guy.
00:31:19
I'm just saying that. That has like the little thing
00:31:21
of hair and the little glasses. And he's a big guy.
00:31:24
Chuck loves him. Strongman.
00:31:26
Oh, Strongman from Alpha Flight. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:31:29
I love him, he's so cool to have him in the background somewhere.
00:31:32
And now Alpha Flight. Great.
00:31:33
Now we're talking Alpha Flight morning.
00:31:37
I do love Matt in the chat right now.
00:31:39
He said I would lose my damn mind if we got age of
00:31:41
apocalypse. Can you imagine Sugarman on
00:31:44
screen? Oh, that'd be wow, right.
00:31:46
And then they butchered secret invasion.
00:31:48
I need them. I need them to make a good for
00:31:50
need to make good first before they try House of M No, I I I do
00:31:54
get that they do need to like fix secret invasion because such
00:31:57
a good storyline and and they they just destroyed that
00:32:00
storyline and mostly because they didn't have the right
00:32:02
characters to do it. But I mean, still like man, like
00:32:05
we didn't get a real, we didn't get a good super scroll in this
00:32:08
at all. And I'm going off on the tangent
00:32:10
already. We need, we need to move on to
00:32:12
the next segment on the show. Move.
00:32:13
Move it back. Let's move it back.
00:32:16
Move. It.
00:32:16
Yeah, yeah, let's bring it back to reality because move on.
00:32:23
Because the the even the stormtroopers are telling us to
00:32:25
focus. So let's let's get right into
00:32:28
this guy's. It is now time for the next
00:32:30
segment. It's time to download some
00:32:31
information with the download. OK, there's there's a script.
00:32:34
That's right. Damn it.
00:32:35
I keep forgetting there's a script.
00:32:36
Hold on, Hold on. I got this.
00:32:37
We've spilled some secrets. Serve some tacos and summon the
00:32:40
Scarlet Witch. Now let's keep the momentum
00:32:42
rolling. The download starts now.
00:32:53
So much better than the BS I try to do.
00:32:55
Yeah, but at this point it's a bit now.
00:32:57
It kind of is just a bit I I got to remember that we actually
00:33:00
have transitions because I always forget.
00:33:03
I mean there are actually transitions.
00:33:04
Put it in bold and bright red under the thing you were
00:33:07
reading. I.
00:33:08
Know I Who's I? Don't know how.
00:33:11
Who's letting young feel riff? No my young feel riff.
00:33:14
You know what's funny is I was looking at.
00:33:15
It I could make it what's more like.
00:33:18
What's funny is I was looking at it, I was looking at it and then
00:33:21
I forgot and went straight into trying to transition is like, we
00:33:24
have transition. Stop making up your own
00:33:26
transitions, Phil. All right, forget demons.
00:33:29
Tundra, Slade, the box office records, which is all true.
00:33:33
Demon Slayer Infinity Castle has officially dethroned Spirited
00:33:36
Away, becoming the highest, grossest anime film worldwide.
00:33:40
The jaw-dropping animation and emotional carnage.
00:33:43
It's a cultural juggernaut and a reminder that anime isn't niche,
00:33:48
it is dominant. Anime is not knocking on the
00:33:50
door anymore. It owns the building.
00:33:54
You're very happy. Are you excited?
00:33:55
Yeah, he he seems a little excited.
00:33:57
I'm very excited right now. I'm very excited.
00:34:00
I love this show. It I, I've talked about it for
00:34:02
like the last three weeks. I love this show.
00:34:04
It's so good. Have not gone to see the movie,
00:34:07
mainly because I haven't had time, but I mean, like, I like,
00:34:09
I every night I'm like, am I just gonna go and watch it
00:34:11
tonight? I gotta get up early for work.
00:34:13
But what if I just, no, I've gotta get up like like seriously
00:34:16
like or, or like, you know, I, I, I thought about going Friday
00:34:19
or Thursday and then I was like, no, we got to get up early for,
00:34:23
to drive to Oregon and then we didn't.
00:34:25
And I was like, shit, I should have went last night.
00:34:27
There you go. If you're not losing sleep, is
00:34:30
it really a fandom of yours? I.
00:34:32
Mean seriously? No, but like I lose.
00:34:35
I lost sleep to watch Sumo the other day.
00:34:37
Is it not if I'm sitting here like debating, like, you know,
00:34:40
like making bad life choices just to go watch a movie?
00:34:43
Well, you didn't make a bad life.
00:34:44
But I'm debating those life choices.
00:34:46
You're just thinking about it. You made a bad nerd choice,
00:34:50
that's true. That's true.
00:34:52
Speaking of, you get. One nerd demerit for that.
00:35:00
James all right before the beats dropped the demons pop Netflix
00:35:04
and Sony are dropping debut AK pop Demon Hunter story, a PG
00:35:10
rated short film that explores Huntrix's origin Huntrix's
00:35:15
origin. It's a prequel packed with pop,
00:35:17
lore and possibly karaoke. Fans are already speculating
00:35:21
it'll hit before the sequel and maybe even snag and Oscar nod.
00:35:26
That's right. Give it all the Oscars, all the
00:35:27
Emmys. Give it everything, all the
00:35:29
Billboard awards. Give it all origin story
00:35:31
unlocked. Cue the choreography and chaos.
00:35:34
I am so for this. So to add to this, the next
00:35:39
Oscars, if this is not in contention, then it's a travesty
00:35:43
because honestly, it is. It is one of the like it's one
00:35:46
of the best animated films that are out right now.
00:35:48
But I like just story wise. And one of the requirements is
00:35:52
that it has to be in theaters. This wasn't theaters.
00:35:54
They put it in theaters. They.
00:35:55
Did the yeah. There you go.
00:35:57
So it this this should. If this doesn't at least get a
00:36:00
nod for for best animated film then then you know what's the
00:36:05
point in watching the Oscars anymore?
00:36:06
And song they could do. Or original song.
00:36:09
And they could easily get best original song to it.
00:36:11
Should, yeah. Oh my God, best animation?
00:36:15
That's best movie, Best soundtrack.
00:36:17
Oh. It's gonna be I would probably
00:36:19
prefer soundtrack over just one original song, but James, if if
00:36:22
one song was nominated, what do you think it would be?
00:36:25
It's gonna be golden. You think golden gonna be gonna
00:36:27
be golden? It would be golden, yeah.
00:36:29
Gonna be gonna be golden, yeah. Cuz that's the one that went
00:36:31
like #1 yeah. On billboard, yeah.
00:36:34
Interestingly enough, at Anna Medford over the weekend, we we
00:36:38
were playing a whole bunch of Huntrix versus Sadja boys.
00:36:41
And what was funny, I'll get into it more, but I did like
00:36:43
split the audience because I was like, all right, if you're with
00:36:46
Huntrix, make some noise. If you're with the Sadja boys,
00:36:48
make some noise. And like, kept going back and
00:36:49
forth. And that would make me choose
00:36:51
what song I was going to play. Oh.
00:36:53
That's cool. Yeah.
00:36:54
Yeah, that's cool. That's how it's done, done,
00:36:56
done. That was done, done, done.
00:36:59
So we've had like 2 animes right animated.
00:37:03
Would you guys consider like a video games animated like Tron?
00:37:07
Would that be like kind of? Animated.
00:37:09
It depends on the on the video game and Tron to an extent.
00:37:13
To an extent, yeah. It's a little animated, isn't
00:37:15
it? But it either way, the grid just
00:37:17
got grungy with and I don't think this is grunge at all.
00:37:21
So with a haunting orchestra, I I I just needed an alliteration.
00:37:26
Haunting orchestral orchestral, free score by 9 Inch Nails and a
00:37:32
Moody featurette teasing digital existentialism.
00:37:36
Tron Aries is set to open at $44 million Y'all.
00:37:40
Jeff Bridges returns Jared Leto lead and the vibe is pure
00:37:45
cyberpunk doom. Tron's bat And it's moodier than
00:37:49
your ex's playlist. Daft Punk Who?
00:37:52
How dare you? How dare you That is that that
00:37:54
that. Is no.
00:37:55
Blasphemy. That is blasphemy.
00:37:56
Also, it's funny because like, you know, it's like Tron's back
00:37:59
because the movie's name is Tron.
00:38:01
Is Tron in this movie? Is Tron in this movie?
00:38:03
Do we know if Tron is actually gonna be in the movie or is just
00:38:07
because the movies are called Tron?
00:38:08
I think it's more that it's just the concept of it.
00:38:12
I don't know if Tron will actually be in that.
00:38:14
Yeah, because I mean, technically he was in the second
00:38:16
one, you know, he was, it was real that he was rinsler the
00:38:19
entire time. So I mean technically Tron was
00:38:20
still there but it's like OK if Aries is supposed to be another
00:38:25
AI that is in the world the movie is Tron Aries.
00:38:28
I'm wondering like is Aries end up being the villain and Tron
00:38:32
comes out to fight him? That would be cool.
00:38:34
Well, so remember they were like, hey, I thought Jeff
00:38:37
Bridges die. What if Tron takes on him like
00:38:41
embodies him and that's how he gets out into the.
00:38:43
Room like if Tron is in Jeff Bridges body that would be kind
00:38:47
of cool actually or I mean if they do bring his son back if
00:38:51
like they he's like inhabiting his son's body like that would
00:38:53
be kind of cool yeah. Yeah, either way, like I think
00:38:56
that might be really either one of those I think would really be
00:38:59
making the third movie, movie like really bring the story full
00:39:03
circle. Because in the original one, it
00:39:05
was that and it was about like trying to create these, you
00:39:08
know, these rebels in this very structured society that doesn't
00:39:13
sound familiar. But and now having the
00:39:16
structures actually come out into the real and realize how
00:39:19
chaotic it is and how orderly their world is, I just think
00:39:23
that that's just really mean. It's such a juxtaposition.
00:39:26
And to not have it be the two, but actually explore more of
00:39:30
that dynamic into and then make 3, the one where they flip it on
00:39:34
its head or I like it. I think it's great.
00:39:36
Or what if they go to the real world and they're driving down
00:39:39
the street in LA and they take a wrong turn and they meet
00:39:42
somebody named T Ron. And we keep calling it Tron, but
00:39:45
it's really T Ron, no T. Ron, I was going to say, maybe
00:39:47
they meet Barbie while they're trying to, you know, get to the
00:39:50
real. World that that that would
00:39:51
probably be a level of meta comedy that I probably wouldn't
00:39:56
appreciate in the movie itself. Like I like I like meta
00:40:00
commentary, but like in in that particular case, I'd be kind of
00:40:04
offended if they did that. Like don't ruin Tron's character
00:40:07
like that. Come on.
00:40:10
All right, let's move on. I think we've had our fun.
00:40:13
Yeah. From prom king to PTSD.
00:40:17
All right, Sylvester Stallone pitched a prequel where he
00:40:21
played a young John Rambo via D aging technology, showing his
00:40:26
transformation from football captain to war-torn legend.
00:40:29
Studio said no, but the idea lives rent free in our brains
00:40:33
and possibly in a future deep fake.
00:40:36
Oh my gosh. AI Rambo at 18.
00:40:38
That's either genius or a fever dream.
00:40:40
Either way, Stallone's still swinging Tulsa king trying to
00:40:44
make it happen. AI AI Rambo.
00:40:47
Oh my God. I don't, I don't, I don't know
00:40:48
how I feel about that, mainly because of what IAI like the
00:40:52
argument within Hollywood on AI right now and Sylvester Stallone
00:40:56
saying hey, we don't need actors, just let me act and I'll
00:41:00
be Rambo and you can de age me. That's your That's your
00:41:03
Sylvester Stallone impression. No, that's not my Sylvester.
00:41:06
Stallone impression. My Sylvester And so Stallone
00:41:08
impression. Yeah.
00:41:09
Well, you see, AI, you can. You're gonna make me 18.
00:41:13
I'll be a football captain. Yeah, I'll make my way.
00:41:18
I'll be the war trunk guy. Okay, that's good.
00:41:21
All right. Yeah.
00:41:23
Pray, what are you gonna say? So I have two questions.
00:41:27
My first question is would they DH him to be 4 or after the
00:41:32
facelift? And 2nd is, is Dwayne Johnson
00:41:38
just the new Sly Stallone? Because Dwayne Johnson just
00:41:42
wants to do everything and control everything.
00:41:44
And I feel like Sylvester Stallone or maybe maybe that's
00:41:47
what it is. Maybe Dwayne Johnson is our
00:41:49
generation Sylvester Stallone. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:41:53
We're we're taking shots. Steel chair to the back on the
00:41:57
rock. What is happening?
00:41:59
You can't just take shots at the rock like that.
00:42:01
The Rock has done nothing wrong. I read something about the
00:42:05
difference between The Rock and John Cena when it comes to like
00:42:10
they're both wrestlers that that are now actors and like just
00:42:15
their approach to acting and what they want.
00:42:18
Like The Rock has in his contract that he's not to be
00:42:20
beaten up. John Cena gets his ass kicked in
00:42:23
every movie and it's amazing. John Cena actually likes doing
00:42:28
those where he gets his ass beat all the time.
00:42:31
And they say that that right there, it shows the difference
00:42:35
between those. And I have to say, they're
00:42:38
spitting facts, yo. They're spitting facts.
00:42:40
We don't know that the Rock has put on a Tutu.
00:42:44
He played the tooth fairy. OK, don't start coming at the
00:42:47
Rock. He's played.
00:42:48
He's played a homosexual man in previous roles.
00:42:51
He's gotten beat up in roles. Come on, leave him a Lumpur Rock
00:42:56
barely be the number one actor in the world.
00:43:01
By the way, speaking Speaking of John Cena getting beat up in in
00:43:05
shows, Oh my gosh, the last episode of peacemaker yeah, when
00:43:09
Rick we'll. Talk about it later.
00:43:11
When Rick flagged, Oh my knees him.
00:43:14
Mute him. Mute him.
00:43:16
We'll talk about it later. I love that you can like hear
00:43:18
James mouthing it and it's like. Like when you fit when you're at
00:43:24
work and you fake freezing. OK.
00:43:26
Yes. Oh, and and look at this. 100%
00:43:29
agree with Ray. Oh, don't look at you.
00:43:31
Turn and heal. Matt Aguilar turning heel on me.
00:43:35
Let's see how it is. Double turn, A double turn.
00:43:37
I see how it is. You just Marty Gennetti me right
00:43:40
through the window. The plate glass window.
00:43:45
So rude, Matt So. That's called defenestration.
00:43:48
Defenestration. OK, we're gonna call back from
00:43:51
last week. Not liking this conversation?
00:43:54
Mob Boss Dwight's empire expands and so does writers room drama.
00:43:58
Paramount Plus Green Lights Season 4 of Tulsa King,
00:44:02
Oklahoma, with Boardwalk Empires Terence Winter back at the helm,
00:44:06
Mob Boss moves writers room drama, and the Tulsa turf war
00:44:11
continues. All right.
00:44:12
Are you a Are you a Tulsa King Guy James?
00:44:15
Apparently not. I can't like Tulsa because
00:44:18
Tulsa's coming at the Rock and I don't appreciate it.
00:44:22
I've never seen one second of Tulsa King and I do not land to.
00:44:26
I've seen you. I've seen it all.
00:44:28
The people. Yeah, I've seen it on when I go
00:44:31
to like people's houses while I'm working, but I've never
00:44:33
actually watched the show myself.
00:44:35
No, none of that happens here, OK.
00:44:37
That is not anywhere near like anything that would happen here.
00:44:40
I don't know where they get this crap.
00:44:42
Tulsa is not like that. We are we are a depressed
00:44:45
culture. We don't dress like.
00:44:46
We got to bring some excitement to.
00:44:48
Tulsa Stallone. We're having some assignment in
00:44:51
Tulsa, Adrian and Mega mall movie in Tulsa do that, no.
00:44:57
Whatever you got, you got iPhone seventeens in Tulsa.
00:45:01
By the way, you know James Gunn re threading Frey over here and
00:45:05
now Matt Aguilar 100% agreeing with with Frey over here.
00:45:09
Frey's living her best. Life and and now Tater's saying
00:45:11
rock sucks. Oh geez, getting turned on.
00:45:16
I feel like Rocky, my Avia and everybody.
00:45:18
You're getting turned on by all of this getting turned.
00:45:22
Getting turned on by all this all this is exciting for me.
00:45:25
Yummy. All right, let's move on.
00:45:27
Your Little Rock tingles. I got to call it Little Dexter's
00:45:32
universe got sliced before he could bleed out.
00:45:36
Clyde Phillips reveals Paramount.
00:45:38
Hold the plug on original sin and shove the fully written
00:45:41
Trinity spin off. Oh, the Dexter verse expansion
00:45:44
is dead and fans are fuming like freshly spilled hemoglobin.
00:45:49
Hemoglobin. Honestly, I.
00:45:51
Love how you said that word. Hemoglobin.
00:45:54
Hemoglobin so I admittedly so I I was a Dexter fan for the
00:46:00
longest time. I watched Dexter.
00:46:02
I watched the entire show. I didn't watch the new season
00:46:04
where they Recon the season finale.
00:46:08
I have not watched original sin. I've heard good things about it,
00:46:11
but I haven't watched original sin and I love the idea of doing
00:46:15
a Trinity spin off because the Trinity killer was such a good
00:46:18
arc within the first first What was that season 3 or season 4?
00:46:23
But either way, the Trinity killer was was a was a great
00:46:26
almost like villain character. And I would love to see a
00:46:29
spinoff about, about the Trinity, But I mean, like, you
00:46:31
know, yeah, they're, they're shoving the whole thing.
00:46:33
I don't care. You're not supposed to say that.
00:46:38
That's mean. Oh, see, now you're being me.
00:46:41
The Dexter. Poor Dexter.
00:46:42
No, because you've never seen any of it.
00:46:44
I don't care about it. Nobody wants to watch.
00:46:47
Watch a show about serial killers.
00:46:50
I'm watching true crying baby. Yeah, I didn't watch it either.
00:46:53
So, but I mean like the Trinity killer was played by John
00:46:55
Lithgow. It was amazing.
00:46:56
I, I, you know, I don't like the guy that plays Dexter.
00:46:59
Really. You don't like the?
00:47:00
Michael C Hall No, I have never been a fan of his.
00:47:04
I do not like his acting. There's something about it that
00:47:07
just doesn't feel real to me and like it's not relatable at all
00:47:11
and I just can't get into it. I there are some actors that I'm
00:47:15
like that. I'm sure he's a lovely person.
00:47:16
I'm not saying it's him, I'm just saying that his acting, I
00:47:19
just, I don't like it. You know what's real to you?
00:47:22
Is James Gunn re threading your challenge?
00:47:24
Accepted episode. It's true that is that is very
00:47:27
much something that is real to Jen because Marvel's got
00:47:30
committees, DC's got guns blazing, guys, Frank Grillo
00:47:34
says. Marvel was a fly by the seat,
00:47:36
while DC under James Gunn is tight, personal and script
00:47:40
first. He's loving the DCU's clarity
00:47:42
and calling out Marvel's chaos with the precision of a
00:47:45
Crossbones punch. Grillo spilling tea and it's
00:47:48
steaming hot. Really is.
00:47:50
He's not going back. He's like, I'm done.
00:47:52
We're not going to see him in Doomsday.
00:47:53
Let's just throw out there after that.
00:47:56
I They didn't really do Crossbones justice as a
00:48:00
character. Yeah, there have been a lot of
00:48:01
that. Like, like I feel like with DC
00:48:04
that all the characters are important.
00:48:07
Doesn't matter if they're, and we'll get into this in the next
00:48:09
couple of the DC news stories, but the the C&D list characters
00:48:16
like James Gunn cares about them just as much as he cares about
00:48:19
Wonder Woman, Batman and Superman.
00:48:21
So, you know, and I feel like Marvel, they don't, they're just
00:48:25
like, oh, this will be a fun nod to the fans.
00:48:27
They'll they'll see the crossbones and they'll know it's
00:48:29
crossbones. And it's like, OK, yeah, I get
00:48:33
it. And I get they were going for
00:48:34
more realism and stuff, but it's just like, like sometimes just
00:48:38
let a character be their character, you know what I mean?
00:48:41
Like so well. Marvel doesn't like characters.
00:48:43
Name Bones. Bonesaw.
00:48:46
Bonesaws ready. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:48:53
Not gonna last as long. OK, Just a part.
00:48:55
Just a cameo. Hey, I got 2 minutes. 2 minutes
00:48:59
of you. Say pleasure I.
00:49:00
Don't. I don't remember either.
00:49:02
It's I got 2 minutes of play time.
00:49:05
Guys, I need you to settle down. It's James Sun story time move a
00:49:10
lot. James Gunn teases Peacemaker's
00:49:16
future and a mystery antagonist confirms Wonder Woman's height
00:49:20
won't dictate casting, but the DCU needs her and hints at
00:49:24
Charlton Deep at like The Question and Captain Adam
00:49:29
joining the DCU. He even singled out Batwoman as
00:49:33
a personal favorite. So much Brewin at DC Studios.
00:49:37
We need a cork ward and some red string.
00:49:41
I I love this. I love the names that he popped
00:49:44
out there. There are there's speculation.
00:49:47
I don't know. Are we going to talk about this?
00:49:48
No. OK.
00:49:49
There's speculation that they're saying that Rick Flack Junior is
00:49:53
going to come back into the universe and he's going to
00:49:56
become Captain Adam. That would be amazing.
00:49:57
That would be cool. I think that actually would be
00:49:59
really cool. Right.
00:50:00
The other thing that a lot of people or I know that this is
00:50:04
something that's been put out there, Kevin Smith has been
00:50:06
saying 1 he doesn't want anything to do with the DCU
00:50:09
because he thinks he's going to fuck it all up.
00:50:10
But if James Gunn came to him and said, Hey, you have a, a
00:50:14
choice to write a movie, what what would you do?
00:50:16
And he, his number one is the question.
00:50:18
So I mean, I would love to see, like I would love to see the
00:50:22
question in general, but like Kevin Smith's take on the
00:50:25
question would be amazing. Didn't you see?
00:50:28
I like it. Didn't we see the question in
00:50:30
Captain Adam on the On the Hall of Justice mural?
00:50:33
Weren't they on there? I thought we saw the question.
00:50:36
Maybe, yeah. I don't think Captain Adam.
00:50:38
Hold on, I have pictures of. It yeah, I don't, I don't think
00:50:40
Captain Adam was on there. I do know, I think the question
00:50:44
was on there. Gotcha.
00:50:45
Human Bullet was on there and I think some people thought it was
00:50:48
Captain Adam, but I I want to say it was Human Bullet.
00:50:52
I just, I just listened. To the the two bears 1 cave
00:50:56
podcast yeah and James was on one and it was really
00:51:00
interesting. It was really interesting
00:51:01
getting his take on things. I liked it and so I recommend so
00:51:04
if you after this show, don't forget to like and subscribe to
00:51:08
distance starting on YouTube. Right but that Go watch 2 bears
00:51:11
1 cave with James. Good episode.
00:51:13
Yeah, no, I I watched a clip. Husby loved it.
00:51:17
He he watches him all the time. So and he said it was really
00:51:20
good too. So yeah, that's cool.
00:51:22
I so James Gunn mentioned Batwoman, so I think we might
00:51:27
get a Renee Montoya question. The question.
00:51:29
I would still like that I, Renee Montoya as the second question
00:51:32
that yeah, Renee Montoya as the second question was still pretty
00:51:35
badass, so. Yeah, I, I, I honestly think
00:51:38
that would be really cool. So I kind of feel like maybe
00:51:41
that's what we'll get. He just like singling out
00:51:43
Batwoman that way. I feel like kinda is, is him
00:51:46
saying, hey, look, I'm, I'm gonna do Batwoman, you know,
00:51:49
we're gonna put her in the DCU. So I, I feel like if she's going
00:51:52
to be in the DCU, that Renee Montoya is probably also coming
00:51:56
really soon. So I, yeah, I think we'll
00:51:59
probably get that. I I don't think we'll get a
00:52:01
Batwoman before we get a Batman, but who knows, Maybe she'll show
00:52:04
up in The Batman. My my question with all this is
00:52:08
with with the question, if we get the question, are they
00:52:11
because. Big question.
00:52:12
Four more times real quick. The the depending on the version
00:52:15
that they do, are they because I say they because there's two
00:52:18
different versions, but are they going to get the spray on mask?
00:52:21
James Gunn is really into doing the weirdness and doing the
00:52:24
crazy stuff and like, I love the idea of the questions mask being
00:52:29
like this mystical spray where he sprays his face and it like
00:52:33
makes his face into like a void. Yeah, no, I mean that, yeah,
00:52:36
that could, that might be cool, like more like a Mystic tech
00:52:40
type thing where it's like a tech thing, but it's also got
00:52:43
some mystical properties. I kind of like that.
00:52:45
I do like that kind of like cyberpunk Mystic kind of vibe in
00:52:49
comic. Yeah.
00:52:49
And and it's funny because like if if you go and look like when
00:52:52
they first initially revealed that it was a spray on mask,
00:52:55
like he goes and sprays and takes it off and he ends up
00:52:57
being a yeah. And like, everybody freaks out
00:53:00
that he was a chinger because they're like, we didn't expect
00:53:02
that, Yeah. That'd be a weird twist.
00:53:04
That'd be a weird twist. OK, I'm going to keep it going.
00:53:07
Has Robin entered the chat? Matt Reeves confirms Robin was
00:53:12
discussed for The Batman part do but won't say if he's in it.
00:53:16
The real focus? A villain tied to Bruce Wayne's
00:53:19
past with emotional stakes and a narrative arc that's never been
00:53:22
done on screen. Reeves is building a bat verse
00:53:25
with brains and bruises. It's hush.
00:53:29
It's hush. Yeah, it has to be Hush.
00:53:30
Yeah, totally. I'm OK with that.
00:53:31
I want to see in a hush adaption.
00:53:33
That'd be cool. Yeah, cuz I do it like who?
00:53:35
Who else is tied into Bruce's history like that?
00:53:38
Look, you're pre empting the next story.
00:53:40
Hush. We're trying to do well then.
00:53:42
Yeah, but that was that was an unintentional pun.
00:53:45
But let's talk about Robin being in The Batman too.
00:53:49
Hello. So since this is since I was
00:53:51
gonna say, since that since this is supposed to be Batman during
00:53:54
Year 2, it has to be Dick, right?
00:53:56
Yeah, and it would have to be like younger because he, you
00:53:59
know, he came in like famously as a teen, so.
00:54:02
Like maybe we get introduced to him somehow, you know, like
00:54:05
maybe the. Circus comes from the town.
00:54:07
And then, you know, maybe it doesn't, maybe the whole
00:54:09
incident doesn't happen this time, but like, we get
00:54:11
introduced to them and maybe we get introduced.
00:54:14
To like his parents, that would be a real big departure because
00:54:17
the first time they played in Gotham, that's when it happened.
00:54:19
Like they've never been the Haley Circus had never been in
00:54:22
Gotham. Yeah, I don't know.
00:54:23
I don't know if it does it feel a little early for for Robin.
00:54:28
I don't know. I guess I need to see where they
00:54:29
where they put the Batman in his like.
00:54:32
Considering the timeline. Interesting layer to add to it
00:54:38
with him if he has this orphan that he also has to take care of
00:54:42
while he's also trying to figure out this new villain that like
00:54:46
wreaking havoc in Gotham and trying to balance those.
00:54:49
I think that might, because I feel like that would be a good
00:54:52
evolution that and that he would have that that would bring his
00:54:55
empathy up a little bit more because he's empathizes with
00:54:59
Dick Grayson because he was orphaned too.
00:55:01
And it was like really tragic and, you know, traumatic.
00:55:05
And so he would, you know, that might bring a little bit more
00:55:07
empathy into it. Don't get me wrong, I want Robin
00:55:11
in whatever version of the DCU this is going to be right
00:55:14
because eventually I want to see Nightwing.
00:55:16
I want to see what they could do with Nightwing.
00:55:18
I agree. I 100% agree with that.
00:55:20
I feel like we, we need introductions into this thing
00:55:24
is, is that as far as we know, Matt Reeves is only doing a
00:55:26
trilogy. So, you know, you know, it's
00:55:28
it's I don't know if it's going to go that far in.
00:55:31
I know that when James Gunn gets his hands on it, which he's
00:55:35
still casting, you know, it's supposed to be a whole more.
00:55:38
It's supposed to be more comic bookie.
00:55:39
And it's specifically supposed to be Bruce and Damian, which
00:55:42
means by that point, if Damian is our Robin and that means we
00:55:46
are going to get Dick Grayson as night.
00:55:49
Yep. Yeah.
00:55:49
All right. And the question is so excited.
00:55:51
Well, I was going to say, the question is, if we're getting
00:55:54
Dick Grayson as Nightwing, and we know that he's also
00:55:56
interested in doing some type of Titans movie, right?
00:55:59
Do we get Dick Grayson leading the Titans?
00:56:03
Well, you know, that's a good point, because if they're going
00:56:05
to have the Brave and the Bold with Damien, so that means Dick
00:56:09
Grayson's probably Nightwing by now.
00:56:12
Some are about to become Nightwing, so we will probably
00:56:15
never get to see Dick Grayson as a Robin unless we get a version
00:56:20
of them in the Batman universe, the Matt Reeves universe, right?
00:56:25
But. All right, Matt Reeves, given
00:56:27
where it is, it seems like where they're doing putting Brave in
00:56:30
the bold, at least from the conversation that they've been
00:56:32
having and the stuff that we do know where they're putting Brave
00:56:35
in the bold is pre Battle of the Cowl, which means at some point
00:56:40
we're gonna get Dick Grayson as Batman, which is kind of cool.
00:56:42
Yeah. Yeah, Yeah.
00:56:43
Well, and I think that's gonna be, I honestly, I like that.
00:56:47
I like Damien as Robin and that can imply Tim Drake as Red
00:56:52
Robin. We could get the Red Hood, you
00:56:55
know, and that could those could those are all avenues that can
00:56:58
be explored. Hey, here's where we are now.
00:57:01
Let's tell you that story. Let's do a prequel or what have
00:57:04
you about that. Or we'll just do, you know,
00:57:08
that'll just be a flashback thing, you know, something like
00:57:10
that. I mean, there's a lot of ways to
00:57:12
bring it about, but I like that. I like bring being brought in
00:57:16
where Batman already has his support system and his family
00:57:20
and something to lose, because that Batman is a much more
00:57:24
interesting Batman when he does have things to lose and he tends
00:57:28
to be more brutal and because he sees everything in black and
00:57:31
white. So and every member of his
00:57:34
family tends to see things grayer than he does.
00:57:37
And so it's just it's really great.
00:57:39
And the way that Batman and Bruce handle all of that, I
00:57:42
think is that's where the meat of the Batman stories are.
00:57:46
So I just I love this idea of having Robin anywhere.
00:57:49
I you know, I really want the family aspect of it because a
00:57:53
lone Batman is just like me. I want a fruiting.
00:57:56
Oh, look, now he's brooding in the bathroom.
00:57:59
Oh, he's brooding while he's eating.
00:58:01
Oh, look, Alfred's disappointed. That's yeah, that's every single
00:58:05
single Batman movie. I want to see the dynamic
00:58:07
between Jason and Damian. Given that Jason was brought
00:58:11
back by the Lazarus pitch, which means Damian has some knowledge
00:58:14
of the whole situation, I want to see that dynamic between the
00:58:18
two of them. Yeah, and how like how they all
00:58:20
treat each other like brothers and how like, you know, Dick
00:58:22
Boulder brother. And they do have those dynamics.
00:58:26
And you know, Jason being the the second oldest Hellion rebel,
00:58:31
you know, is always great. Right.
00:58:33
And Jason being extremely intent all the time.
00:58:36
Yeah, so. Anyway, I think it'll be.
00:58:38
All right, he's got the next one.
00:58:39
That would be a Moi, Sir. OK, forget the Joker, Matt
00:58:44
Reeves wants a new rogue. The villain for The Batman Part
00:58:47
2 is a fresh cinematic take chosen to challenge Bruce
00:58:51
Wayne's psyche. Fans are speculating everything
00:58:53
from Hugo Strange to Calendar Man, but Reeves is keeping it
00:58:56
locked in the Bat. All right.
00:59:01
No, I, I was talking about this earlier.
00:59:03
Again, the only person who's intrinsically connected with
00:59:07
Bruce's past is Tommy Elliott. Like, as much as I would love to
00:59:10
see Hugo Strange, and I've talked in the past about how
00:59:13
much I would love to see Calendar Man redone in the way
00:59:16
that he is like a menacing serial killer, the way he was in
00:59:20
Long Halloween. I, I, I think, you know, we,
00:59:23
we've seen the calendar Man on, on screen.
00:59:25
We haven't seen Hugo Strange, but we've seen characters like
00:59:27
Hugo. So strange.
00:59:28
I want to see Hush. Hush is such a unique character
00:59:31
that's never been put on on the screen.
00:59:33
And again, he is so tied to Bruce's past that it only makes
00:59:38
sense to do. Hush and tonally for the way
00:59:41
that these movies are, he fits right in that type of villain,
00:59:46
that dual personality type thing and that whole, you know, with
00:59:50
the, you know, almost looking like a mummy and it you know so
00:59:53
and it's very much that world that Reeves has created for
00:59:57
Batman, right. So I absolutely think it's hush
01:00:01
like I'm like 99. I would give it a fray guarantee
01:00:05
that we're getting hot, no. A fragrant tea.
01:00:08
Fragrant, fragrant. Fragrant.
01:00:10
Tea Fragrant. Fragrant tea.
01:00:12
Fragrant tea for me. I tried I tried also Matt in the
01:00:17
chat Batman Batman would be the worst Instagram influencer.
01:00:20
I just, I just brewed, brewed with eggs, brewed with a
01:00:23
sandwich, brewed at the movie theater.
01:00:25
He's. Like he's like I'm in the museum
01:00:27
brooding. I'm brooding in the corner, you
01:00:30
see. Look.
01:00:30
This way, look at me. Check.
01:00:32
In at Jimmy John's feeling broody.
01:00:36
Brooding. Getting a Starbucks.
01:00:38
I wanted a pumpkin spice latte but I have to brood in the
01:00:41
corner. Brooding at Cracker Barrel.
01:00:46
Fly only drink Dark Rose. How do I like my coffee broody?
01:00:52
Extra broody. Is that our last DC story, that.
01:00:55
Was OSDI think that's the last DC story?
01:00:57
We're going to jump into some of these Marvel stories.
01:00:59
Now I'm going to brood because there's no more DC.
01:01:01
Stories brood over some zombies. All right, Marvel is hungry for
01:01:06
views. Yeah.
01:01:07
Brad Winterbaum confirms Marvel Zombies Season 2 is outlined and
01:01:12
ready. Oh, my gosh.
01:01:13
For Marvel's waiting on viewership before green
01:01:16
lighting. More characters, more carnage
01:01:18
and maybe Blade Moon night. Moon Blade night if fans show up
01:01:22
hungry. Want more undead adventures?
01:01:24
Better stream. Like your life depends on it,
01:01:27
Marvel's watching, and so are the zombies.
01:01:30
Marvel Zombies comes out. What is it?
01:01:32
September 24th? Oh, all four episodes.
01:01:35
Yeah. So it's, it's this this week,
01:01:37
it's coming out right tomorrow, tomorrow.
01:01:40
On the 24th. So that's The thing is we are
01:01:42
watching that because next week we're going to be doing a
01:01:44
breakdown of the entire show. So I mean, like we, we are
01:01:47
definitely watching this. We are in on this.
01:01:50
I mean, I'm, I'm a fan of the, the, the zombies, the, the
01:01:52
zombie comics. I know.
01:01:54
Was it you, Jen, that didn't care for the Marvel Zombies?
01:01:56
I don't like zombies. Yeah, like I, I am not a fan.
01:02:00
I am not a fan of the undead. It is not my thing.
01:02:03
But I'm gonna watch it because I said I would, and I'm gonna help
01:02:06
review it and. Have you seen the episode?
01:02:08
Of me to say yeah I did not my favorite.
01:02:12
She's like, didn't care for it. Wow.
01:02:13
I. Don't like zombie, but I did
01:02:16
think Scarlet Witch Zombie was freaking awesome.
01:02:18
She. Was badass.
01:02:20
Thinking of so in that episode of what if it was not voice
01:02:25
acted by Elizabeth Olsen but for this series Marvel Zombies it
01:02:30
she's like got top billing as being a voice actor for or this
01:02:35
Marvel zombies. It's kind of interesting how
01:02:37
they like, we didn't use her for that, but.
01:02:39
I wonder, I wonder if this is one of her ways around that
01:02:42
contract, maybe. No.
01:02:44
Could because this could count as a property.
01:02:45
Yeah, yeah. It makes me wonder, like I
01:02:47
wonder if they're going to do some flashbacks or something
01:02:49
like that to set the stage. I mean they got.
01:02:51
Yeah, maybe. They got like 2 hours worth of
01:02:54
storytelling for this, but it'll be interesting.
01:02:56
Yeah, yeah, I'm into it. I want to see.
01:02:58
It I do like Heroes in Red, I like Scarlet Witch, I'm a fan of
01:03:04
Phoenix, I even like Daredevil. Oh, I figured.
01:03:07
Is Daredevil the anchor being for Marvel TV?
01:03:11
Marvel confirms Daredevil Born Again season 3 is a go with
01:03:15
filming set for 2026. Cox d'onofrio and possibly
01:03:19
Kristen Redder return as the Netflix defender slowly
01:03:23
reassemble the Devils in the details and Disney Plus budget.
01:03:28
So it's interesting that they green lit, it's interesting that
01:03:31
they green lit it already. And that says a lot for Season
01:03:34
2. It says that, OK, everybody
01:03:37
loves season 1. Season 2 is on par with all of
01:03:40
that, which means we have so much faith in this that we are
01:03:43
going to green light season 3 before season 2 even airs.
01:03:46
Usually that's when a company has a lot of faith in in the
01:03:50
property, unless you're paramount and you just green
01:03:53
light it because it's like everybody loves Halo green.
01:03:55
The green light season 2 before season 1 comes out and then it
01:03:57
bombed and they're like, oh shit, what do we do?
01:03:59
We already filmed season 2, right?
01:04:02
I am poor Halo, just dragging it through the mud.
01:04:05
Like the rock so. Yeah, smell.
01:04:09
La, la. I know it's here.
01:04:11
I know I have it. You're missing the moment
01:04:13
you're. Missing.
01:04:14
I lost the moment. I don't know why.
01:04:15
I don't know where the sound bite is.
01:04:16
My Pierre tingle is not tingling.
01:04:18
It's not. We're not there yet.
01:04:20
Let it tingle a little longer. No, it's tingling.
01:04:22
What? So I so I have a theory.
01:04:26
So remember when Charlie Cox was like, yeah, no, season 2 is
01:04:30
going to be the end like that. Yeah, we're we're done after
01:04:33
that. And Vincent D'onofrio was like,
01:04:34
no, we're not Charlie didn't know.
01:04:37
Charlie doesn't always talking about Charlie would love to do
01:04:40
it for Charlie doesn't know Charlie doesn't know.
01:04:43
Yeah. So I I wonder if they put their
01:04:47
heads together and came up with this whole thing to see to like
01:04:51
kind of show Disney bus and Marvel how much the fans wanted
01:04:57
a season 3. Yeah, we'll, we'll go ask him at
01:04:59
La Comic Con. I hate you.
01:05:01
All right, let's. Move like Charlie Ting, are you
01:05:04
still? Tingling.
01:05:04
Yeah, I'm still tingling over here.
01:05:06
I'm. Gonna be like Charlie, are you?
01:05:08
Are you excited about Season 3? That's it.
01:05:11
But he's probably gonna, he's probably gonna respond with I
01:05:14
didn't even know. What do you mean Season 3?
01:05:15
What are you talking about? He'd be like, what?
01:05:17
Next, we're not doing a season 3.
01:05:18
They just announced that they're doing season 3.
01:05:20
They did. OK, well, news to me.
01:05:22
Why am I always the last to know?
01:05:24
Why is he British? He is, yeah.
01:05:26
Why is? Everybody always British.
01:05:29
Because they're born in Britain. Maybe.
01:05:31
Just like just like the Peter Tingle is is British.
01:05:34
The he is British, OK, Our Peter Tingle got a little ouchy.
01:05:38
Tom Holland was briefly hospitalized with a concussion
01:05:42
after a stunt mishap in Glasgow. Filming for Spider Man Brand New
01:05:46
Day is paused out of precaution, but he's expected expected to
01:05:50
return soon. The July 2026 release is still
01:05:54
intact for now. Who knew stunts could be so
01:05:57
dangerous? Speedy recovery.
01:06:00
Young Tom. Speedy.
01:06:01
I mean that that is fairly common for stunt actors to get a
01:06:04
concussion. And given that he he is very big
01:06:07
on wanting to do his own stunts, sadly, it is something that
01:06:10
commonly happens. Yeah.
01:06:12
Yeah, well, you know, maybe he needed the sense knocked into
01:06:14
him. Maybe, yeah.
01:06:16
The Spidey sense knocked into him.
01:06:18
The Spidey sense knocked into him.
01:06:20
Yeah, I think it. I think it'll be fine.
01:06:22
I think that was our last Marvel story.
01:06:23
It is and now. It's time to move into quick
01:06:26
bite. Yep, it is time to move into our
01:06:29
our meaty discussions, Jen. Let's let's jump into into the
01:06:34
download here. Yay Star Wars.
01:06:38
Meet soggy sci-fi someone called Kevin Costner skin.
01:06:43
Star Wars I'm. Talking about Star Wars, a new
01:06:49
newly released image from Star Wars Starfighter shows a lone
01:06:53
pilot navigating A flooded rusted out world.
01:06:57
Pilot navigating in a flooded rusted out world that's giving
01:07:02
major water world vibes with rising ocean scavenger tech and
01:07:07
a post Empire aesthetic. Fans are speculating could this
01:07:11
be Camino Moncos or maybe a brand new planet?
01:07:16
Star Wars Starfighter looks ready to dive into
01:07:19
environmentally, environmentally no, environmental storytelling
01:07:24
and survivalist grit. With the way that they have been
01:07:28
going with Star Wars, I don't think they're gonna be
01:07:31
revisiting a planet we already know about.
01:07:34
It's it's Camino and Montcala. Could be cool, could also be
01:07:38
Cell Cath. But I mean, like, I, I don't
01:07:40
think that they're gonna go with any of those 3.
01:07:43
I think that this is actually just going to be like an earth
01:07:45
like planet where it's landmass, but then there's like a lot of
01:07:48
water. So, and it just happens to be
01:07:50
what? Is do you remember what the
01:07:52
planet from Bad Batch was where they had or it was like the
01:07:56
island people? Oh, I know what episode you're
01:07:58
talking about, I don't remember what it was.
01:08:00
Yeah, it was like, it's the one that fees like fees had this all
01:08:03
like the the not rebels, but like the refugees, Yeah, from
01:08:08
different wars like. Habu habu habu.
01:08:11
Habu habu. OK.
01:08:13
So Camino, Camino, Mancala, Habu, Cell, Cath, and then
01:08:18
there's also the planet in the Mandalorian where where remember
01:08:22
they met the frog lady. Yeah, and then there was that
01:08:25
one planet in Andor too, right? Yeah, I mean, there's a couple
01:08:28
of like water worlds that are out there.
01:08:31
Like I said, I I feel like with the way that they do the
01:08:33
storytelling in in, in Star Wars and these newer stories, I think
01:08:37
they're just going to make up a planet.
01:08:38
I, I don't know, like Sean Levy, he's pretty cool about bringing
01:08:42
lore into stuff in new and exciting ways.
01:08:45
So it may be a planet we've seen before.
01:08:47
It may be a planet that was like on like, like I said, like it
01:08:50
could be the Bad Batch planet that was in a different format
01:08:54
or could be a planet from the Legends books or something.
01:08:57
I. Think it would be cool if they
01:08:58
did Montcala or Selkaath just because we've seen a lot of
01:09:01
those characters that we've seen the Mont Calamari, we've seen
01:09:06
the cell Cath, which are the dudes with the tentacles on
01:09:08
their mouth. Yeah, right.
01:09:09
Like we've seen a lot of these characters, but not actually
01:09:12
visited the planets Montcala like they they did a little bit
01:09:15
of Montcala in in. Apples, right?
01:09:19
No, in Clone Wars, Clone Wars, they did Montcala and Clone Wars
01:09:24
because Montcala is also a planet where they build
01:09:27
warships. So it's kind of like, you know,
01:09:29
they wanted to kind of show like how they build warships under
01:09:32
the water before they put them in space.
01:09:34
And Cell Cath was visited a lot in the in some of the video
01:09:38
games. So it'd be kind of cool to see
01:09:40
them, you know, like like in ATV show, I'd be excited to see that
01:09:44
if they said, Oh yeah, we're we're approaching Montcala and
01:09:46
it's like, oh shit, we're going to see a live action Montcala.
01:09:48
That's dope. No, that would be amazing.
01:09:51
Yeah. You know, and it'd be a
01:09:52
different language, not, not just, you know, Arabic.
01:09:56
I'm just excited for fresh, fresh stories, you know, that
01:09:59
isn't that aren't tied to Skywalkers and Jedi and all that
01:10:03
stuff. Let's just get some fun stories
01:10:06
in the Star Wars universe. Yeah, absolutely.
01:10:09
Yeah. Fun stories in all the different
01:10:11
corners of the Star Wars universe.
01:10:14
Whether you're human or Mon Calamari or you're a Lego brick
01:10:20
minifig, the Skywalker Walker family reunion we never got.
01:10:24
Now with bricks banter and 0 cannon anxiety.
01:10:28
Lego Star Wars rebuild the Galaxy.
01:10:31
Pieces of the past brings together Anakin Skywalker, Padme
01:10:34
Amidala, Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa in A1 timeline bending
01:10:39
brick built adventure. Oh my gosh.
01:10:42
The animated special plays fast and funny with continuity, using
01:10:46
Lego signature irreverence to explore legacy, loss, and what
01:10:49
happens when the Force meets 4th wall humor.
01:10:52
It's not Canon, but it's clever, heartfelt, and packed with deep
01:10:55
cut references for fans who know their midichlorians from their
01:10:59
minifigs. What's the word for a family in
01:11:02
Arabesh? I'm excited for this one.
01:11:04
Don't know even though Arabesh is a written language.
01:11:09
I I just watched the the first season series, the rebuild the
01:11:14
Galaxy and I just watched that and it's a little funny joke, so
01:11:18
good. It's so good.
01:11:19
It's really good. It's just like I was expecting
01:11:22
it to be what it was. It was really funny.
01:11:25
There was a lot of good references, but like, it didn't
01:11:28
hang on those references. Like, yeah, the story went
01:11:31
wherever the story wanted to go. And that's that's what made it
01:11:33
special. Right.
01:11:34
And it was very much a, it was very much a Lego story like,
01:11:39
because you know, it's, you have like that master builder field
01:11:42
from like the Lego movies where it's like, hey, I'm just gonna
01:11:44
build something, you know. I know I want some of those
01:11:46
ships like the the quad jumper thing that they did.
01:11:49
They sell them kind of thing that they sell one of them,
01:11:51
Yeah, they sell a couple of those ships.
01:11:53
I'm into it. I I would watch it but husby
01:11:56
would fall asleep. He falls asleep every time
01:11:59
there's a Lego movie on it doesn't matter what it is, he
01:12:01
falls asleep. He's tried to watch The Lego
01:12:04
Batman Movie 4 times. How does he fall asleep?
01:12:07
That movie's hilarious. Every single time.
01:12:09
No I know. I think it just lulls him to
01:12:11
sleep like something in it. I don't know if.
01:12:13
It's something soothing about the animation.
01:12:15
Well, I think who's the guy that plays him?
01:12:17
Will Arnett. Maybe it's Will.
01:12:19
Arnett. It is.
01:12:19
Will Arnett, Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I don't know, but
01:12:23
every time we've tried to watch it, The Lego Movie, fell asleep.
01:12:26
Tried to watch it three other times, fell asleep every single
01:12:29
time. I don't know what it is.
01:12:30
Maybe it's the the clicking of the Lego bricks, I don't know.
01:12:34
But yeah, Lego Movie, I can watch it alone.
01:12:36
But yeah, yeah, if I watch it with him, he'll take a nap.
01:12:39
That's interesting. All right, cool.
01:12:41
That's my take on this all. Right, I'm exciting me.
01:12:43
Go watch it. Yeah, I think it's out right
01:12:45
now. Right.
01:12:45
See. The the the second one it might
01:12:47
actually be out already. I think it's out.
01:12:49
Yeah, all. Right, well, let's let's move on
01:12:50
to this last story because I know we're all excited about
01:12:53
this one. Favreau's taking Din and Grogu
01:12:55
from streaming to silver screen. The first trailer for The
01:12:59
Mandalorian and Grogu, the upcoming Star Wars film directed
01:13:02
by Jon Favreau, is here, and it's packed with high stakes
01:13:06
action creatures and a tone that feels more cinematic than ever.
01:13:10
Set after season 3, The Mandalorian, the film promises
01:13:14
to expand the Mando verse while keeping its emotional core
01:13:17
intact. With Favreau at the helm and
01:13:19
Grogu's powers growing, this could be the Rogue One of the
01:13:22
Mando era. Grogu swims now this is the way.
01:13:27
And guys Oh my God you guys have no idea.
01:13:30
We I saw the trailer on, I think it was on, on, on Instagram and
01:13:36
I immediately grabbed it, put it on our group chat and you know,
01:13:40
Jen and James are like, no, we already watched it too.
01:13:42
And we just ended up proceeding with like, you know, like a 20
01:13:45
to 30 minute conversation of why we were excited about this
01:13:48
trailer. You guys have no idea if you
01:13:49
have not watched this trailer, you need to man.
01:13:53
I know it's a distraction from, you know, everything that's
01:13:56
going on at Disney right now, but it worked.
01:13:58
It distracted the living shit out of me because it would.
01:14:00
It's a good distraction. I, I was super excited about it.
01:14:04
I loved the I've always thought the Razor Crest type of vehicle
01:14:08
looks almost exactly like the Firefly class Starship Serenity.
01:14:14
And so I made it known that I've got it looked like Serenity, but
01:14:18
but yeah, no, I think it was really cute.
01:14:21
I loved seeing Grow Goose swim it.
01:14:23
Was so cute, yeah. It's a good little swimmer.
01:14:26
Besties and his little besties, though, I was like, he shot that
01:14:29
thing and they. Were I love that Yeah, he shot
01:14:31
the rat. Good shot, baby I.
01:14:33
Love that he shot that rat and they're just like, good shot,
01:14:35
baby. Oh yeah, What I'm.
01:14:38
So happy. So it starts off with the Razor
01:14:40
Crest. I'm so happy the Razor Crest is
01:14:42
back. It was such a cool ship.
01:14:44
It's it's a space minivan and Dadalorian needs his space
01:14:48
minivan now that he has his baby back.
01:14:50
So I'm super excited for more Space Minivan.
01:14:54
Action I go back to a almost throwaway line from season 1.
01:14:58
So when he when he when he grabs that bounty at the beginning of
01:15:03
season 1, that first dude, right?
01:15:04
The dude that also references oh God, what was the the holiday
01:15:09
from the holiday special that they confirmed in the Canon life
01:15:12
day? Life day when the same dude that
01:15:14
confirms life day when he brings him on to the ship, he looks
01:15:18
around goes, oh man, this is a Razor Crest.
01:15:20
Oh man, I thought they I thought they outlawed these.
01:15:22
Like the whole thing is like they it was a line that a lot of
01:15:25
people didn't recognize because, you know, most people were like,
01:15:28
oh, the Razor Crest is destroyed.
01:15:30
And as if that's the only Razor Crest.
01:15:32
And that line makes it clear. Like, I, I brought this up in
01:15:36
our chat. I said it's it's the same, it's
01:15:37
the same thing as if Han, rather than going and finding the
01:15:41
Falcon, just went and got another Carillion freighter.
01:15:44
Yeah, right now, Han would never do that because he has so much
01:15:47
connection to that ship that course he wants the Falcon.
01:15:50
He doesn't want another Carillion freighter.
01:15:51
But I I love the idea. He wants to fuck the ship.
01:15:54
The same way that fucking Lando did.
01:15:56
Because Lando definitely put his Dick in that ship.
01:16:00
He definitely started to. Put his Dick in a lot of things.
01:16:06
But with that being said, like you know.
01:16:08
Had your wives? Had your droids?
01:16:10
Had your droids? Yeah, Yeah, that was.
01:16:11
Orlando is all. About but I mean like it's just
01:16:16
everything else that that pops up in that trailer, all the
01:16:18
little small things that pop in there.
01:16:20
Like, one of the one of the other things I really liked was
01:16:23
when they do the reveal of Grogu in the trailer and you see one
01:16:26
of the I I forget their names, but the little dudes running by
01:16:30
in the sewer and then runs by again and then Grogu just walks
01:16:32
by like casually. Yeah, but also you guys caught
01:16:35
Zeb fighting, right? No.
01:16:36
Ohh yeah, yeah. In the like hallway or.
01:16:38
Something. Yeah, he he has a hallway seat.
01:16:40
Ohh I didn't catch that. I'll have to watch it again.
01:16:43
So there's, there's, there's a, there's a shadowy figure and
01:16:46
it's kind of quick, but there's a shadowy figure where he jumps
01:16:48
off of a wall and then like, like punches a dude in the face,
01:16:51
right? And it's it's Zeb.
01:16:53
Oh, OK, that's Zeb. That was awesome.
01:16:55
I love Zeb. Yeah, I won all the rebels in
01:16:59
the in all of the movie. It was one of those things where
01:17:02
if you like, if you pause it, you can see like it's his
01:17:05
reverse legs that he has like his little Raptor legs.
01:17:08
But then also like again, it's it's kind of shadowy in the
01:17:12
scene, but if you like pause it at the right scene, you can see
01:17:14
it's his face. So it's it's one. 100% cool
01:17:17
cool. Awesome.
01:17:18
You know, I thought that was dope.
01:17:19
I, I still don't know how I feel about Jeremy Allen White as, as
01:17:25
Jabba son, But yeah, it kind of it, it kind of edged me a little
01:17:29
bit more in the favour of it when they showed him.
01:17:31
They just show his back and he just screams like he's in the
01:17:34
gladiator arena. And yeah, Din looks over and
01:17:36
goes impressive. And then Grogu eats some space
01:17:39
popcorn. Yes, space popcorn.
01:17:41
How dare he. He probably has palm oil in it
01:17:44
too. Oh, now you're now you're mad at
01:17:47
Grogu. Great.
01:17:48
No, I'm not mad at Grogu because he doesn't know any better.
01:17:51
He's a child. I know, Jen, you are not.
01:17:53
I know. Jen mentioned that one of her
01:17:55
favorite scenes in the trailer was the Sigourney Weaver reveal.
01:17:58
I love that and she did. She didn't really even say
01:18:02
anything and the whole like him trying to get the food and she's
01:18:07
just looks at it. She just takes it and looks at
01:18:09
him like and then and then Grogu grab that little growl he does
01:18:12
like like but. It was like a sad growl was it
01:18:14
wasn't like an angry growl wasn't like a a, you know, like,
01:18:19
oh, what are you doing? Growl was like a sad growl.
01:18:20
He was like, oh. No, I took it as like maybe
01:18:25
Groku who's like a teenager now, like he's in his teen year, so
01:18:29
to speak, and he and so he's like, whatever, I'll get what I
01:18:33
want, like, you know, that kind of thing.
01:18:35
Groot. Yeah, like age, Groot movement.
01:18:38
That's funny. Yeah.
01:18:38
I'm looking forward to it. I mean, there hasn't been a lot
01:18:42
of great news, you know, and a lot of action for Star Wars, But
01:18:45
now that we're getting Mandalorian and Grogu, yeah, And
01:18:48
they're going all out with it, I'm in.
01:18:50
I'm so happy Zeb's in this. I'm so happy we're leaning
01:18:53
towards some kind of live action Star Wars Rebels.
01:18:57
Yeah. Reunion.
01:18:58
I hope, I hope, I hope they find a way to convince Freddie Prince
01:19:03
to be like, OK, just you're gonna come back as a forest
01:19:05
ghost. You don't gotta do much.
01:19:07
You just gotta say a couple lines.
01:19:08
I just hope they find a way to like make him come or not make
01:19:11
him come back but convince him to come back.
01:19:12
I think that we're closer to seeing that happen than than any
01:19:16
of us expect just because he has been warming up on Kane and
01:19:20
Jairus a lot. I remember when we when we
01:19:23
approached him about interviewing him on the show, he
01:19:26
turned us down because he's like, I don't talk to Star Wars
01:19:28
podcasts. And it was funny because me and
01:19:30
James were like, we weren't, we don't want to talk about Star
01:19:32
Wars. We want to talk about wrestling
01:19:33
because he's the big like wrestling guy, right?
01:19:34
But it was just like, you know, he like he's involved in
01:19:36
wrestling pretty heavily. And we were just like, no, no,
01:19:38
it was like right at the moment where like he was coming out on
01:19:41
a lot of wrestling podcasts through like we want to
01:19:43
interview him about wrestling and he was like, Nope, I don't
01:19:45
do Star Wars podcast. Look, no damn.
01:19:47
Damn our nerd nerdiness. The one time by fandom failed
01:19:53
me. But we were too nerdy.
01:19:56
Too nerdy for? Him, but I mean, you know, he
01:19:58
famously said that he didn't like doing Star Wars anything
01:20:01
because of how toxic the fans were.
01:20:03
And you know, he's been getting a lot of love lately as far as
01:20:07
like, you know, Kane and Jairus and the way that people feel
01:20:09
about Kane and Jairus and he's been doing more stuff.
01:20:12
You know, I think he recorded a line as Kane and Jairus
01:20:15
recently. So it's like it's kind of a big
01:20:17
deal. I think he appeared at a Star
01:20:19
Wars convention recently, too. So like, you know, it's.
01:20:21
Also, he has children now that are old enough to appreciate the
01:20:25
wonderfulness that is Star Wars, and it'd be like my dad's in
01:20:29
Star Wars, so he's got cool dad point now.
01:20:32
I think it's also just he's seeing that there's more love
01:20:35
for Kanan out there than he thought initially that there
01:20:37
was. Yeah, you have a lot of these
01:20:39
toxic fans online that are going to sit there and complain about
01:20:42
things. But it's like Kanan Jairus is an
01:20:43
amazing character. I mean, you know, I, I've, I've,
01:20:46
I've always vocally been a huge Romkota fan and Kanan Jairus is
01:20:49
the closest thing I got in Canon to Romkota so.
01:20:52
Yeah, I, you know, I, I really like how they did Kanan because
01:20:57
he, I just feel like he had so many parts of bygone and so many
01:21:02
parts of Obi Wan in him. But he like had that balance
01:21:06
where they didn't. And and I think it really made
01:21:09
Ezra a better man, not just a Jedi, but a man.
01:21:13
So I, you know, I thought I, I, I have a soft, soft spot for
01:21:17
Kanan. I love the rebels.
01:21:19
They're amazing. I I'd be happy to see either
01:21:22
something involved with Kanan in, in the Mandalorian, Grogu
01:21:25
and especially with like Zeb being in part of this.
01:21:27
Like, you know, we know that we do know that that Ezra is back
01:21:32
in that in on that side of the universe because he stowed away
01:21:35
on the ship. But also, you know, we are going
01:21:37
to be getting Ahsoka season 2 pretty soon.
01:21:40
And that's not to say that we won't get Kanan Jairus in Ahsoka
01:21:42
season 2. I think I think Kan and Jairus
01:21:44
is getting the same, just not when they 1st come out.
01:21:47
Yeah, I'm excited for. Mando, just to bring it back to
01:21:50
Mando and Grogu, we're only. Eight months away.
01:21:52
So if we're getting the first trailer now, there was like a
01:21:55
trailer like somewhere else, like maybe it was like footage
01:21:59
from like SSDCC or something like that where it was Mando
01:22:04
fighting a bunch of troopers or something like that.
01:22:06
And, and everybody's thinking it was within one of the ad ads,
01:22:09
one of the ads that that blew up, you know, and fell over on
01:22:12
that Cliff side. Oh my God.
01:22:13
And that is probably one of the most epic ad AT scenes we you've
01:22:16
seen since. Empire.
01:22:18
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah.
01:22:19
So yeah, I was like, oh, I. Love how it's very.
01:22:23
Like, like the trailer was set up and the poster that they've
01:22:26
got out also does this very like old matinee theatre type, like
01:22:32
that old like iffy style, 40 style, which is where Lucas got
01:22:37
the scroll from in the beginning of the films was that old like
01:22:40
matinee type, the, you know, theatre experience.
01:22:44
And so I loved that. I loved how it had that feel.
01:22:47
It also had that like Indiana Jones vibe to where the way they
01:22:51
cut it and they cut from one place to another and to another
01:22:54
with like very little Segway. It was just and then this is
01:22:58
happening and then this is happening in Here's a new star
01:23:01
and this is going on, you know? And so it was really, I thought
01:23:04
it was very cool and meta bringing it back to original
01:23:08
Lucas form. I think that, yeah, I mean that
01:23:11
that poster was definitely evoking.
01:23:14
Those original 1970s posters that that Star Wars originally
01:23:18
had and and you know that to agree with you on the Indiana
01:23:22
Jones thing. I think, I think the the way
01:23:24
that they did the logo looks very Indiana Jones.
01:23:27
Yeah, definitely. It is definitely that like
01:23:30
adventure. Where adventurers kind of feel
01:23:34
about it, I think. What did I say that the poster,
01:23:36
It was like Lawrence of Arabia, yes.
01:23:39
Blade Runner, yeah, it had that feel, yeah.
01:23:42
So it's like the font that they used.
01:23:44
The font that they use is very like.
01:23:46
Cross between Star Wars and Indiana Jones.
01:23:49
Like, it's just got that kind of, like, epicness to it.
01:23:51
Very Lucasfilm, yeah. Like it really had that
01:23:55
Lucasfilm. Stamp on it and I loved it like
01:23:57
the little nostalgic kid in me was like the whole time so I'm
01:24:02
on board let's I want to see it tomorrow let's make this happen
01:24:05
same same I'm ready to get more of this they did at the very.
01:24:09
Beginning of the trailer, you do see Din just wrecking a bunch of
01:24:13
dudes just like, you know, that's it's you're taking back
01:24:16
that form of like the hand to hand combat that he was like
01:24:18
really good at in season 1. I mean I'm I'm very excited for
01:24:22
all of this and then I love that he fights them and then all of a
01:24:25
sudden Grogu just jumps onto his shoulder.
01:24:27
Yeah that was so amazing. I was like, look at this, look
01:24:30
at you little. Baby Yoda doing Yoda things,
01:24:33
little baby. Yeah, I'm, I'm very excited for
01:24:36
this, you know? I don't want to keep beating a
01:24:39
dead horse here. From box office battles to brick
01:24:42
built Skywalker reunions. We've crunched the bites and
01:24:46
decoded the downloads. Now let's talk cosplay panels.
01:24:51
And where do we find us in real life?
01:24:52
It's time for your geek end update.
01:25:04
Look at all the Cubs. Do you see the desks and how
01:25:07

01:25:09
They're not white cubicles. You would call those cubbies?
01:25:13
Yeah. Gens.

01:25:28

01:25:31
Feels well ladies and gentlemen this weekend we we did a whole
01:25:35
bunch of con goodness and here to talk about the con experience
01:25:40

Actually, we. Did some splitting up this
01:26:00
weekend. Yeah, yeah.
01:26:01
So Anna Sad. Anna Medford.
01:26:04
We're going to talk about Anna Medford.
01:26:05
First, 'cause just 'cause it was the two day event went up to
01:26:09
Medford OR this weekend and we got our our Comic Con on and
01:26:15
guys, it was it was a good time. We had a a lot of fun.
01:26:18
It was a lot of really good vendors.
01:26:22
Of course, the celebrity guests that were there.
01:26:24
The stage was so much fun. Just the way that we kind of ran
01:26:30
the show. You know, we, we got Jeff kind
01:26:34
of, you know, if you want to, if you want to get into a little
01:26:36
bit of what, how the entire experience went.
01:26:39
So we ended up having only a couple panels, but there was
01:26:43
all. Kinds of other interesting stuff
01:26:45
going on. Sailor Moon sung a whole
01:26:48
concert. The guys with the swords there
01:26:51
did a whole sword demonstration. There was a freaking duck there.
01:26:55
Like an actual duck. An actual duck with an Afro.
01:26:58
Little feather Afro. Thing going I mean.
01:27:01
Yeah, doesn't everybody have a duck?
01:27:03
They had two the pair they actually are in.
01:27:05
The slide we gave away. A handful of prizes.
01:27:09
We did trivia, end up building a whole block of just talking and
01:27:14
builds nonsense. Yeah, what what was fun is like,
01:27:18
you know, I do a lot of crowd. Work and it's just mostly
01:27:21
because you know, we need to fill time or if it's before the
01:27:24
cosplay contest, you know, a lot of times the the hosts are kind
01:27:29
of like, OK, we're still trying to get everything together.
01:27:31
We don't know what's what's happening here and there just
01:27:33
ends up being like a lot of just kind of dead air.
01:27:35
So I'll just pick up the mic and just start doing crowd work, you
01:27:37
know, and one of my favorite things to do 'cause I love
01:27:39
getting the audience involved is, hey, you know who especially
01:27:44
had an anime show like that? There's always going to be kids
01:27:47
who want to be voice actors. So it's, hey, who wants to be a
01:27:50
voice actor? All right?
01:27:50
Who's got a good impression or who does a good voice match or
01:27:55
something like that? Come up here and do your best,
01:27:57
you know, the best thing you can do.
01:27:58
And we tend to get a lot of kids that'll come up and do like
01:28:00
different impressions and things like that.
01:28:02
And it's fun for them, you know, and I'll try and like, you know,
01:28:05
encourage them like, hey, you want to be a voice actor.
01:28:07
Gotta get comfortable getting on the mic.
01:28:08
So, you know, get him on stage and, and getting to, to, to do
01:28:12
fun things. And it's always a good time.
01:28:14
Then we had a nice chat with the murder chicken.
01:28:16
The murder chicken. Oh.
01:28:18
Amber Lee Connors was so. Funny.
01:28:22
She like, like, like, you know, she, she would just jump right
01:28:25
into it and be like, yeah, so I played the murder chicken, you
01:28:29
know? So she's from Five Nights at
01:28:32
Freddy's. Well, she's from a lot of anime
01:28:34
man. Like she was in Danda Dan, she
01:28:36
was in and. She to the extent who didn't
01:28:39
play, Who does she play in Dan to Dan, who did she play it?
01:28:44
Starts with an A oh. That's cool.
01:28:46
Husby loves Dan to Dan, so that. And it's funny because.
01:28:49
The in between everything, like a lot of the music I would play
01:28:52
was. Like EDM remixes to K pop demon
01:28:56
hunters and EDM remixes to different like anime themes.
01:29:01
But then I had a trap remix to Alton, OK, which is the theme
01:29:05
for for Dan to Dan and oh, that's awesome.
01:29:08
And yeah, we just had fun with that.
01:29:09
Like you could just see how much everybody would just start
01:29:11
grooving as soon as we play the music.
01:29:13
Same thing with like K pop demon hunters.
01:29:16
A lot of people liked the the the EDM remixes that I was
01:29:19
playing. And then there was one girl that
01:29:21
was like, no, you're ruining it. Play the original.
01:29:23
And I was like, all right, all right, all right, all right.
01:29:25
And I went, I ended up playing the original music, but got
01:29:29
called out at at one point and that girl was me.
01:29:32
No, I'm just kidding at one point.
01:29:35
Like I like I I mentioned it earlier, but I.
01:29:37
Like tell the full thing. I would stop.
01:29:39
Like, you know, before the the the cosplay host was ready.
01:29:44
I would say, all right, let's let's do this right.
01:29:46
Who liked K pop demon hunters. And, you know, you get everybody
01:29:49
gets excited. All right, where are my Huntrix
01:29:51
fans at now? Everybody goes, gets at first
01:29:53
people were just kind of like, yeah, I was like, oh, that's it,
01:29:56
all right. Where my Saja Boy fans at?
01:29:57
And you can see them just get loud.
01:29:59
I was like one more time where the Huntrix fans at and then
01:30:01
they get loud and they start catching on that.
01:30:03
I'm trying to figure out, you know, who's who's got the bigger
01:30:05
fan base in the building, right? And the Saja Boys went out like
01:30:10
hard. There were definitely a lot more
01:30:11
Saja Boy fans than there were Huntrix fans in there, to the
01:30:15
point some people were in there dressed up as grim reapers.
01:30:18
Oh wow, yeah, I on on Saturday. At one point because.
01:30:23
We weren't really getting much interaction.
01:30:25
I start yelling out into into the main show and I'm just like
01:30:30
the first person who is dressed up as somebody from Huntrix gets
01:30:35
here and I have a prize for you, right?
01:30:37
And you start seeing a couple people that are just like, oh,
01:30:40
whatever. I was like, all right,
01:30:41
specifically, I want a roomie to get over here.
01:30:44
If the first person dressed as roomie to get over here gets a
01:30:47
prize, not unfortunately, but the first person that got to me
01:30:51
was a Zoe and I, and I brought a couple of those Lego kits.
01:30:55
With me, so I gave. Her this 12 and one Lego kit
01:30:59
that I brought and she she seemed kind of happy.
01:31:01
But then after that the entire like these girls right there
01:31:05
that were just on the screen, the whole group of K pop demon
01:31:07
hunters show up, right? Like the entire huntress group
01:31:10
shows up wearing the golden gear and I'm like, Oh shit, I just
01:31:13
gave away a prize to a Zoe. So I was like, Oh, we gotta do
01:31:16
something. And Jeff brought a Millennium
01:31:19
Falcon mini kit. Oh wow.
01:31:22
So we give, we, we gave it to the Rumi in in the group and she
01:31:25
was, Oh my God, Star Wars. And she got like really excited.
01:31:28
So I was like, OK, this, this paid off.
01:31:29
This was fine. That's awesome.
01:31:31
That's so cool. We got Star Wars.
01:31:33
My dad loves. That.
01:31:35
Right. And then later on in the show,
01:31:37
cause what I really wanted to see was somebody.
01:31:39
Dressed up as Rumi with the demon Marks and I saw one later
01:31:43
on in the show and I was like damn, had I had another prize I
01:31:45
would have given it to her like a prize that was loose.
01:31:48
Anna Medford was a little different this year with their
01:31:51
with their. Entertainment, right so on the
01:31:53
screen there there's the is that the Southern Oregon Ayato club
01:31:57
the the sword club Yato yeah, they so they they practice the.
01:32:02
The the, the, the sword art of Yato, which is essentially
01:32:07
samurai sword play and, and it was interesting to watch.
01:32:10
I I actually talk with their sensei at the end of everything
01:32:14
and his sword, the sword that he actually had.
01:32:16
So they actually had real swords, right?
01:32:18
So they weren't, they weren't like like they had practice
01:32:21
swords, but like for the most part, they were using real
01:32:23
swords and all this, which is crazy.
01:32:25
And their sensei, his sword is a 400 year old Japanese sword that
01:32:31
was passed down to him. Holy cow.
01:32:33
Yeah. So it was like, Oh my God, that
01:32:35
is dope, right? Like that's such.
01:32:36
A cool thing. But yeah, they actually practice
01:32:39
and and not only that, like, you know, they, they, they, they
01:32:43
like faithfully practice it. Like, you know, every movement,
01:32:45
everything, everything that they do is, is thoughtful.
01:32:49
And they are there, there there is a reverence for not only the
01:32:55
combat, but also for the sword itself and for everything around
01:33:00
it. And it's, it's almost like, you
01:33:02
know, it's, it's almost like the, the level of the, the
01:33:04
actual reverence that most of the Japanese have for it.
01:33:07
So it's, it was, it was really, it was really cool to see.
01:33:09
Nice. And they didn't cut Jennifer
01:33:12
Sahib because her panel. Was right after that no.
01:33:15
Or her concert. Yeah, they didn't they, they,
01:33:17

01:33:23
Basically just ran audio engineering for her and.
01:33:26
She had a blast. She had a lot of fun.
01:33:29
It basically she she would sing songs and then in between songs
01:33:34
she would like have like mini Q&A or she would tell stories
01:33:38
and then go into another song and stuff like that.
01:33:40
Like it was like being at a concert.
01:33:42
It was really cool. That's amazing.
01:33:44
So she talked about Sailor Moon. Did she talk about her other?
01:33:47
She talked about. Being a singer in general and
01:33:51
how she got. Into Sailor Moon and the Sailor
01:33:54
Moon story. And then she would sing songs
01:33:55
from Sailor Moon. She sang a couple over the
01:33:57
songs. She sang the the the full with
01:34:00
lyrics, the full Hot Pockets Jingle.
01:34:02
Nice. Thank you so much.
01:34:05

01:34:09
saying like what a lot of. People don't realize is, yes,
01:34:12

01:35:00
Man, it was a Sunday. It didn't pick up until the 2nd.

Half of the day it was kind of slow in the morning, but I mean,
01:35:06
like, you know, it ended up picking up and end up being just
01:35:09
in general was a good show for those that were not at that
01:35:12
show. So our our our buddies over at
01:35:17
time warp toys, as always, donated a bunch of prizes and
01:35:21
one of the prizes that they gave us that I was somewhat upset
01:35:25
that I had to give away was a first generation, first run,
01:35:29
first edition holographic Charizard card.
01:35:32
Wow. Graded Wow.
01:35:35
Now, it was only a Grade 5, so it wasn't like, you know.
01:35:37
Like the most amazing. Grade, but that's still worth
01:35:40
like 250 bucks. Wow.
01:35:42
Shout out the time warp. They're so cool.
01:35:45
Super cool. Yeah, so.
01:35:46

01:35:50
Question that I gave. So it was what Pokémon is the
01:35:56
only Pokémon that can use transform?
01:35:58
I have no idea. Well, so it starts, you know, we
01:36:01
start going. We had.
01:36:02
About 3 people who didn't. Get it And I was like, oh man,
01:36:04
this has got to be this seems like a good question and like
01:36:06
the fourth guy comes up and I should have known immediately,
01:36:09
but the fourth guy comes up. He goes Ditto.
01:36:11
And I'm like God damn it. And then he starts.
01:36:14
He then he proceeds to give me. Fun facts about.
01:36:17
Ditto and his derp face. And I'm like, I should have
01:36:20
chose a different. I should have chose a different,
01:36:22
harder question, but maybe he's just like.
01:36:27
Adrian and he just. Knows a lot about Ditto.
01:36:31
No, he knows about manta rays like the whole thing was in.
01:36:35
In the back of. My mind when I saw him get in.
01:36:37
Line. I was like, he's gonna know the
01:36:38
answer. And he did.
01:36:41
And he did, 'cause he's really good at trivia.
01:36:43
I've seen this. Guy a couple times he goes to.
01:36:44
Every show. And I was just like, oh man,
01:36:47
he's gonna know the answer, 'cause every time he gets up,
01:36:49
every time he gets up and gets in line, usually because he
01:36:51
knows the answer to something. Yeah, that's awesome.
01:36:54
Well, I'm glad give away things. I'm glad it was another.
01:36:57

01:37:20
let's get into the con that Jane and Sandra were at talk about
01:37:25
Crocker con Crocker con was so much fun I'll let Sandra talk I
01:37:30
was stuck in the. Panel room all day so I can talk
01:37:32
about the panels. But Sandra, tell us what your
01:37:35
experience was at Crocker Con. Well, first Bill has.
01:37:39
Yeah. Whoa.
01:37:41
Didn't realize. I didn't turn the audio off on
01:37:42
that. Go go ahead and talk.
01:37:43
I'm going to fix that real quick.
01:37:45
OK. So yeah, Crocker Con it was.
01:37:48
Hacked. It was outside, inside two
01:37:51
floors, and there was people everywhere, which was great
01:37:55
because there was a lot of vendors.
01:37:57
There was a lot of interactive stuff going on.
01:38:00
We had battle demos going on. I think they were fencing, but
01:38:05
like it with a Star Wars theme going on with it, which was kind
01:38:09
of cool. And Sat Geeks is there hosting
01:38:13
the Cosplay Masquerade, which was really neat.
01:38:16
Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of that because I was
01:38:19
busy working the booth, so I didn't get to actually watch it
01:38:22
watch it. But what I was seeing and
01:38:24
hearing, it was really cool, really fun.
01:38:26
Everyone just got to show off their cosplays and it was a lot
01:38:29
of fun for them. There was some Lego
01:38:32
demonstrators. There's two different ones.
01:38:34
There was Sacramento brick builders, which hopefully if it
01:38:39
gets up, there's a lot of photos of a very young junior sat geek
01:38:43
posing with a lot of Lego figures and also bricks and
01:38:48
figs. There are new like secondhand
01:38:50
Lego store that's out in Sacramento pocket area.
01:38:54
They're really cool. We've met them at SAC Anime.
01:38:56
So they're really fun and very interactive.
01:38:58
You can right there. You could build whatever you
01:39:01
want and that was from Sacramento brick builders right
01:39:04
there. And they also had a game room
01:39:07
that we were helping run, which you go in inside the 2nd floor.
01:39:10
We had a bunch of different board games that you could play
01:39:14
and there was also like all kinds of fun stuff.
01:39:17
I didn't get to see all the panels because I was busy,
01:39:19
mostly sweating outside. And when I did get to go inside,
01:39:23
it was towards the end of the day.
01:39:25
And I can let James talk about that experience.
01:39:28
Yeah, there's a lot of people. So from what I heard from from
01:39:32
some of the. Crocker team is that this is
01:39:34
this was like the biggest event they've ever had at Crocker Con,
01:39:38
which is a museum here in Sacramento.
01:39:40
So it's nice that, you know, it's it's a kind of a fine Art
01:39:43
Museum, contemporary Art Museum, But then they do a show like
01:39:46
this for the community and it was free, which was great.
01:39:48
So I think that added a bonus that it was free.
01:39:51
Super kid friendly. So many people came out, vendors
01:39:55
were so happy. Every exhibitor, vendor, artist
01:39:58
I spoke with said the show was great.
01:40:01
So that that was awesome. But you know, I saw Becks out
01:40:05
there right at the very beginning.
01:40:06
Outside there was there was an indoor exhibit area with artists
01:40:11
and vendors. There was the panel room.
01:40:13
There was an outside courtyard with a mainstage and a bunch of
01:40:17
vendors and coffee. There was like what Sandra was
01:40:19
saying, there was like a game area upstairs.
01:40:22
There was a special sensory. Kids area downstairs there was
01:40:25
food trucks. They took over the entire
01:40:28
Crocker Con for or entire Crocker Museum for a Crocker.
01:40:31
It was awesome. It was so awesome to see.
01:40:34
I heard SAC Geeks ran out of ducks.
01:40:36
Like they were giving away little ducks and they were, they
01:40:38
ran out. So it was such a good show.
01:40:40
We saw Friends of the show Sector 7, so they were there
01:40:43
too. So we're going to convince them
01:40:45
to do more with SAC Geeks and do their part.
01:40:48
So that was fun. Shout out to the World Hardly
01:40:50
Heroes crew. Yeah, exactly, exactly.
01:40:52
Yeah, like 2 days. In a row I've had Harley.
01:40:55
Heroes, that's right. You saw many today.
01:40:58
So it's like, oh man. And then Sheila from Harley
01:41:01
Heroes. Or ex Harley heroes.
01:41:02
I saw Manny ex Harley. Heroes.
01:41:04
So it's been, you know, we still talk to to Aaron Thicke every
01:41:07
now and then. Yeah.
01:41:08
Exactly. Exactly.
01:41:10
So it was good. It was a good experience, the
01:41:12
panels. Were great.
01:41:13
I couldn't say enough about the Crocker staff they were amazing
01:41:17
and the show ran super smoothly and the off team was great.
01:41:21
Shout out to Brian. He was, it was awesome.
01:41:24
But the panels were great. We had some amazing panels at
01:41:27
the show. I think there was 1234 panels
01:41:30
plus some trivia and some introduction stuff.
01:41:33
So Heroic Girls, another nonprofit here in the Sacramento
01:41:36
area, did a Representation Matters panel.
01:41:39
It was awesome because our friend of the show, Leroy David,
01:41:42
who's part of the kid hero group, Lumpia, Lumpia with a
01:41:45
Vengeance group, he's one of the producers.
01:41:47
He was there, he was part of the panel.
01:41:48
So it was good seeing our our friend.
01:41:50
He's also the designer for the 2026 FIFA World Cup poster no
01:41:56
for the for the Bay Area. So he was super nice.
01:41:58
That's still so he's been all over.
01:42:00
He gave me his San Jose Earthquakes Filipino heritage
01:42:05
poster that he did as well. So he's been blowing up lately.
01:42:08
So he he did that as well. So he gave me one.
01:42:10
So that was fun. The panels were super great.
01:42:12
Let's see, we did a Charles Schultz museum panel with Mary
01:42:16
Shine and Lex Forhardo. That was awesome.
01:42:18
The Jack Kirby Museum, we also did a spotlight on that as well
01:42:22
with some of the curators and that was awesome.
01:42:24
We saw or we got to speak with Mike Norton.
01:42:27
So Jonathan from Geek Freaks, you know, Frank's brother, he
01:42:31
joined me during the show and he was on stage with me.
01:42:34
So just like you and I, how we tend to tag team interviews.
01:42:36
Yeah, him and I tag team the interview with Mike Norton,
01:42:39
which was great because Mike has worked for Marvel, worked for
01:42:42
DC, worked for Dark Horse. He's an Eisner Award winner.
01:42:46
He's got a show out that he helped create, is now on
01:42:49
Peacock. So and then he has his own books
01:42:52
like Battle Pug that he's doing. So it was awesome to sit down
01:42:55
and talk with him. He's got so much to talk about.
01:42:57
So super cool. Sad Geeks was there and shout
01:43:00

Yeah, I was going to say, we, we, we're, we're working and
01:43:29

01:43:31

01:43:40
audience here in Sacramento. We would love to see everybody

So, I mean, you know, that's that's obviously he's not, he's
01:47:55
not completely out when it comes to that.
01:47:57
Sei Wong is saying he's iffy to know on it, and Van is in the
01:47:59
same boat. But Van's going to be at that
01:48:01
show. So what does that mean?
01:48:02
Sei Wong, Sei Wong, just show up.
01:48:04
You're with Jensen Sturdy. Just show.
01:48:06
Up she's exactly at the at the end of November the 28th through
01:48:10
the 30th. We have.
01:48:11
Fan Expo San Francisco. Gotta love you.
01:48:16
San Fran, Cisco City. I don't know what the name is
01:48:19
that their nickname, but we will be there.
01:48:22
What is it? Said none of those.
01:48:25
Well, what is it? What is San Francisco's thing?
01:48:27
I know it's not. It's not Rice A.
01:48:29
Roni no, that's a San Francisco treat, but it's not the thing.
01:48:33
The majority of us just call it the city.
01:48:35
But I mean, I guess the city, yeah.
01:48:38
I guess oh is that, is that why the Golden State Warriors have
01:48:42
the city? On their New Jersey, yeah, that
01:48:44
makes so much sense because Oakland because.
01:48:46
Oakland, because Oakland is the town.
01:48:48
Right. So Oakland.
01:48:49
Is the town, San Francisco is the city.
01:48:52
You have to come to California so we can teach you these things
01:48:55
if you the warriors. Warriors jerseys make no sense
01:48:59
to anybody. Outside of the Bay Area, it's
01:49:01
not the first time I've heard that.
01:49:03
Golden State, the city, what the hell is going on?
01:49:05
Yeah, it's because it's because they're out of San Francisco.
01:49:08
So they call that they have the jerseys that say the.
01:49:10
City because locals just call it the city, which which is funny
01:49:13
because nationally, when you say the city, most people think New
01:49:17
York. So with, with, with us, that's
01:49:20
the Big Apple. Yeah, with, with, with locals,
01:49:24
some. People will say Frisco.
01:49:25
Some people will say the SCO, Most of us just say the city,
01:49:28
OK? I'm just gonna say the place
01:49:30
where the trolleys are. Yeah, Ding that.
01:49:33
Could be the neighborhood of make believe too.
01:49:36
There you. Go the crooked St.

01:49:41
I know this, yeah. Ghirardelli's, yeah.
01:49:43

01:49:45

01:49:47
You. I'll show you the real San
01:49:48
Francisco. You don't.
01:49:49

01:54:42

01:54:47
Fray Comics, Fray Girl, Gal the corgi.
01:54:51
Well, I don't really post on that one anymore since she
01:54:53
passed, but Gotham Oracle. Yeah, on Instagram, Blue Sky
01:54:58
Threads. I've been on threads a lot
01:55:00
lately. It's kind of cool over there.
01:55:02
Pretty chill. But yeah, that's me and I'm on
01:55:05
distance starting whenever they'll have me.
01:55:07
You act like you're not a Co host on the show.
01:55:09
Jen, calm down. I know.
01:55:10
I don't know. You know, it's not like I
01:55:13
haven't like gotten my feet all. Dirty and, you know, scarred up
01:55:16
the furniture. It's not like we don't, it's not
01:55:18
like we don't, you know, throw you at other shows to.
01:55:20
Represent distance nerding. That's true.
01:55:22
And then we don't even talk about distance nerding for 20
01:55:25
minutes. That had me dying because I'm
01:55:28
just sitting there. So we're just, we're just.
01:55:30
Like listening and walking, like I'm listening to the episode and
01:55:32
it's like I had to text Jen after I was like, so you realize
01:55:35
that there was number introduction to who Jen is for
01:55:38
audiences that don't know who Jen is.
01:55:40
And it just went straight into we're gonna talk, we're gonna
01:55:42
talk, we're gonna talk. And like halfway through the 1st
01:55:45
mention of distance nerding is well, I was talking to Phil.
01:55:47
You're your Co host on distance nerding and it's like the first
01:55:50
time you guys mentioned the show.
01:55:52
So it's like any audience going into that.
01:55:55
Well, like any audience going into that that's not immediately
01:55:58
looking at the show art because it does say DN featuring Jen
01:56:01
from DN. But like if you're if you you're
01:56:04
not going into this and you don't listen to distance
01:56:06
starting at this point, all you hear is who's this random girl
01:56:09
that's on the show and then all of a sudden it is Jen yeah
01:56:13
'cause he he he he introduced you.
01:56:14
He goes so I'm. Joined by Jen.
01:56:16
How? How?
01:56:17
How are your thoughts? And I'm like there's no
01:56:19
introduction. Like is she just some random
01:56:21
chick from from threads? What's happening right now?
01:56:22
Well, I'll tell you what, It worked because James Gunn liked
01:56:25
it. It's not like you like the DN
01:56:27
part. So yeah, I know you like what
01:56:28
Frey had this day. So Jen, Jen killed it.
01:56:31
So if you. Have not gone back.
01:56:32
To listen to that episode. Go and listen to that episode.
01:56:35
It was it was a lot of fun. All of the phrase, all of the
01:56:40
phrases, Ness, that is Jen, just all the theories, all the
01:56:44
amazing theories. It was great.
01:56:46
I had a good time not to say that the week before James and
01:56:49
all the theories that he brought up weren't just as I was on the
01:56:51
show too. I just mentioned you 2 weeks.
01:56:55
I was on the show. It's because you said where you.
01:56:58
