🧠 Episode Summary
This live-recorded chapter of Distance NERDing goes full multiverse chaos as the crew breaks down Marvel, DC, and everything in between with tacos in their bellies and zero chill in their hearts. We debate Joe Keery’s possible MCU future, pour one out for Blade (again), and officially coin the term “Hot Topic Avengers” for the goth side of the superhero universe. Doctor Doom is apparently running a multiversal daycare, Wakanda’s future looks spicy, and Sebastian Stan might be collecting comic book characters like Infinity Stones. Add in surprise Disney casting, DC rumors, Netflix renewals, and enough jokes to make the algorithm blush, and you’ve got one of our nerdiest chapters yet.
Yes, Doom goes “I tricked you.” No, we will not apologize.

But before we get into all of that, James, tell all the good
00:03:30
folks who brings us here why we're here.
00:03:33

That's right. Well, ladies and gentlemen,
00:04:05
let's jump into our first segment of the night.
00:04:09
Of course, you are now watching the part of the show that we
00:04:14
like to call the download. Let's, let's do this.
00:04:26
All right. Well, the first part of the
00:04:29
download, of course, jumping in with all the Marvel news, ladies
00:04:33
and gentlemen, it's straight from Jay Jonah.
00:04:36
So with that going on, here we go.
00:04:39
Ladies and gentlemen, Gentlemen, the first story of the night is
00:04:42
Steven. Is Steve Harrington really a
00:04:45
superhero? I mean, he kind of already was
00:04:47
in the show. But yeah, according to a new
00:04:50
rumor, Joe Kiri is on Feige's radar.
00:04:52
And this gets us wondering if he might play a character like Nova
00:04:57
or Harry Osbourne. If he ends up as Osbourne, he
00:05:01
could share scenes with his Stranger Things Co star Sadie
00:05:03
Sink, who's playing a secret character in Spider Man Brand
00:05:06
New Day. It wouldn't make sense cause a a
00:05:09
rising star like Joe Kiri with a with a newly open schedule
00:05:13
because you know, he's not doing Stranger Things anymore would be
00:05:16
on Marvel's radar. Spider Man Brand New Day
00:05:20
swinging into theaters on July 31st, 2026.
00:05:23
So guys, what are you, what are your thoughts on this?
00:05:26
I mean, I, I, I, I think that Joe Kiri is a great pick for
00:05:31
Marvel just because he is kind of he's got all the hype.
00:05:34
Everybody loves Steve Harrington.
00:05:35
I think, I think Osbourne. I think Harry Osbourne would be
00:05:38
great for him because I would like to see him kind of like
00:05:43
revisit that character from Season 1 of Stranger Things
00:05:46
where he's not quite a villain, but he's not quite a good guy
00:05:49
either. You know, he becomes kind of
00:05:51
like the fan favorite as the show goes on, but he was kind of
00:05:54
the heel in the first season. And I'd love to see him kind of
00:05:58
like revisit that and be like kind of like a heelish character
00:06:02
with Harry Osbourne, but then, you know, eventually become kind
00:06:05
of like a a better guy down the road.
00:06:07
What do you guys think? Shadoo, what do you think of?
00:06:10
I haven't seen, I haven't seen Stranger Things.
00:06:13
I am not at all familiar with him so I don't think I can speak
00:06:15
on. That OK, so I agree.
00:06:17
What do you think? I agree with what young Phil is
00:06:20
saying. I think Joe Curie is lovable,
00:06:24
but he can also be an asshole, and I think he's perfect in that
00:06:28
role as Harry Osborne because part of you wants to like him,
00:06:32
but you know he's going to like, backstab you or do something
00:06:35
mean to you. In the end, like even even the
00:06:38
last season of Stranger Things, I'm like, he's going to turn out
00:06:40
to be a Dick again. Something's going to go back.
00:06:43
He's going to screw over Dustin, but then he's still lovable in
00:06:46
the end. So I Yeah, Harry Osborne.
00:06:49
He's like me, he's he's lovable but also an asshole.
00:06:51
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, you could be Harry
00:06:54
Osborne. There you go.
00:06:56
Harry Osborne should. Who is the Harry Osborne of
00:06:59
distance starting? I'm not.
00:07:02
I'm not sure how I feel about this but OK.
00:07:06
Eventually you become the new Goblin.
00:07:07
It's fine. Again, do you know the D&D
00:07:12
campaign we're about to play? I know, right?
00:07:14
Right. Exactly.
00:07:16
Yes, exactly. As long as your your new D&D
00:07:20
character has a WAVY Jerry curl, I'm in.
00:07:24
That's good. Yeah, you're, you're going to be
00:07:27
the, you're, you're going to be the, the, the, the New Goblin to
00:07:30
James's Doctor Doom. There you go.
00:07:32
Yes, yes, All right. I'm into that.
00:07:36
Of course, James does have to play Tony Stark first, but you
00:07:38
know. Yeah, I mean, that could work.
00:07:41
We we, we, we, we can make that work.
00:07:42
We'll make. We'll make that a thing.
00:07:44
All right, let's go ahead and move on here.
00:07:47
Blade is dead and Marvel still Long live Blade.
00:07:50
I I'm just saying just. Long live blade.
00:07:53
Long live Blade Marvel Studios may have finally closed the
00:07:57
coffin on its long troubled Blade reboot, but the day Walker
00:08:00
isn't completely being scrapped from the MCUA.
00:08:03
New report suggests that stand alone movie 8th the The stand
00:08:07
alone movie is finished for now when Hershala Ali could still
00:08:10
step into the role through midnight Suns.
00:08:13
So Marvel is currently all in on its multiverse build towards
00:08:18
Avengers doomsday and Avengers secret wars, leaving little room
00:08:21
for a darker stand alone supernatural story.
00:08:25
They're also There's also been talk that the crowd please
00:08:29
pleasing response to Wesley Snipes showing up as Blade in
00:08:32
Deadpool and Wolverine spark new conversations internally and
00:08:35
there are vampire tacos on the table for Blade debuting in
00:08:38
midnights in a Midnight Suns project.
00:08:40
I, I am ready for this. And, and I mean, I think that
00:08:44
this would be a smart transition because if they can't figure out
00:08:48
a story for Blade by himself, it would be smart for them to do a
00:08:54
Midnight Suns and, and do Blade kind of in an on an ensemble
00:08:59
piece. You know what I mean?
00:09:01
Yeah, and you know, I was thinking about this.
00:09:03
It's kind of how Marvel's going. Like it's hard for them to do
00:09:07
just a movie about 1 character, maybe it's A1 villain, one hero
00:09:13
type thing. They kind of built themselves up
00:09:16
where they need to have multiple heroes, you know, crossover
00:09:19
events starting to happen. Like that's what people are
00:09:22
looking for. So maybe, maybe having a stand
00:09:25
alone Blade isn't where they want it to be.
00:09:28
But let's use Blade to introduce a bunch of other characters in
00:09:33
this and a team Midnight Suns that nobody nobody as as far as
00:09:38
like the main pop culture knows about.
00:09:40
But maybe we'll use Blade as like the hook to get everybody
00:09:44
in, right? I like it.
00:09:46
I like it, yeah. I mean, we've already gotten a
00:09:50
good portion of them. I think depending on the lineup
00:09:53
you're going for, like we have Moon Night, we have, I don't
00:09:58
remember the actual lineup of of Midnight Suns because it it
00:10:02
varies. Ghost Rider.
00:10:03
Wolverine. Right, we don't.
00:10:05
Well, like we have a Wolverine, I guess.
00:10:07
Because there's there's different lineups for the
00:10:09
Midnight Suns the most. You can do a lot with it.
00:10:12
I was going to say the most, the most common lineup for for
00:10:14
Midnight Suns is going to be Blade mid.
00:10:17
I was going to say Midnight Blade.
00:10:20
Midnighter. Midnighter.
00:10:22
Actually, Midnighter is a character.
00:10:24
Yeah, no, I know. It's so easy.
00:10:26
Right Blade Moon Knight, who I was trying to think of right
00:10:32
now, Ghost Rider, Doctor Strange and then you know, you have
00:10:37
variations that can do like man thing you can do.
00:10:41
Yeah, we we could throw, we could throw Jack in there.
00:10:43
Werewolf by Night can go in there.
00:10:46
I mean, there's Don't forget is a character that's been attached
00:10:49
to Midnighters too, so. Don't forget we, we got to, we
00:10:54
got to I'll. Think about the authority,
00:10:55
David. We got to tease of Blade at the
00:10:58
end of Eternals with the Black Knight Black.
00:11:02
Knight is another character that's been attached to them.
00:11:04
So I mean like, yeah, there's there's a lot of characters that
00:11:07
have been introduced. There's still some characters
00:11:08
that need to be introduced. I think that this would be a
00:11:14
good way to kind of like jump into that and, and again, bring
00:11:18
back characters we've already seen and, and kind of like
00:11:21
create like that almost like Dark Avengers, right?
00:11:23
Because we don't necessarily need Dark Avengers right now.
00:11:26
You can save Dark Avengers for down the line.
00:11:29
I would say more like more. I'd say more like goth Avengers,
00:11:32
but you know. These are more like.
00:11:34
Topic Hot Topic Avengers. Like Hot Topic Avengers.
00:11:41
The Hot Topic Avengers. Yeah, this They would be more
00:11:44
like the Hot Topic defenders. Yeah, I mean, hey, you know
00:11:48
what? Throw Wiccan on there.
00:11:50
You've definitely got the Hot Topic adventure.
00:11:53
Wiccan is definitely the dude that shops at at at at Hot
00:11:56
Topic. I mean, yeah, of course there
00:11:58
was a like one of the one of the people on on Agatha was working
00:12:02
at a hot topic. It's like, yeah.
00:12:03
That's right. That's right.
00:12:05
Yeah, Yeah. I don't, I don't remember her
00:12:07
name, but yeah, anyway. That's that's like both bad and
00:12:14
good. Yeah.
00:12:17
All right. Any other thoughts before we
00:12:18
move on? Nope.
00:12:20
All right, well, let's continue on here, guys.
00:12:23
A new Black Panther film may be emerging from the shadows.
00:12:28
Black Panther and the next chapter in Marvel Studios
00:12:31
Wakandan saga might be closer than fans expect.
00:12:34
According to a listing from the Film and Television Industry
00:12:37
Alliance, Black Panther 3 is scheduled to begin filming in
00:12:40
London on June 15th, 2026. Kind of a big deal, guys.
00:12:45
So let's, let's, let's, let's talk about this, right?
00:12:49
So let's go go into this first, Marvel Studios has an announced
00:12:52
an official release date and Summer Shoots Summer Shoots
00:12:56
strongly hints that the project is moving full speed as part of
00:12:59
Marvel Phase 6. That's interesting.
00:13:03
That's interesting. I mean, I could, I could see
00:13:07
them pushing for this. I mean, they want to keep the
00:13:09
Black Panther franchise going. Maybe something freed up for
00:13:14
Ryan Coogler because I, I don't think they'd push forward this
00:13:17
hard without Ryan Coogler. So interesting.
00:13:22
I wonder if they're starting to prep to get ready for.
00:13:24
OK, we already know Secret Wars is going this way.
00:13:28
They've already filmed portions of it 'cause I know they said
00:13:31
that they filmed certain scenes through, through the filming of
00:13:36
Doomsday. So, I mean, like, they, they,
00:13:38
they probably know where the story is going and we know where
00:13:42
people are going to be after everything, which also tells us
00:13:45
that sure is probably going to survive the end of the, the end
00:13:48
of this, right? This Yeah, yeah.
00:13:52
So I mean, like, with that being said, you know that that where
00:13:56
do we go? Are we going to go back into
00:13:59
strictly Wakanda stories because there's so many characters that
00:14:03
still need to be introduced for Black Panther.
00:14:05
I was actually talking to somebody on threads today.
00:14:08
Specifically, they were talking about like, you know, the fact
00:14:12
that Black Panther and the King of Wakanda do not need to be one
00:14:15
in the same, right? Because people were complaining
00:14:17
about the new teaser that came out and that Shuru was obviously
00:14:22
still the Black Panther, but Baku is the king, right?
00:14:26
And it's like, yeah, they don't need to be the same one in the
00:14:29
same. And I was saying like, I'm still
00:14:31
waiting on on Nokia to, to have her fall from grace and become
00:14:39
Malice. And I want to see what they do
00:14:42
with that. I don't want to see the same
00:14:43
story from the comics, honestly, for, for Malice's fall.
00:14:47
I want to see something a little more tragic and something that
00:14:50
that especially with the connection that they've given
00:14:52
the Kia to everybody, like she has to something bad has to
00:14:56
happen for her to fall and become a villain.
00:14:59
And I, I want to see that Malice.
00:15:02
I also want to see Achabe, who is the Black Panthers equivalent
00:15:09
to the Joker who was introduced in the first movie.
00:15:14
He's in the movie. He's the dude with the big plate
00:15:16
in his lip. Oh, OK, OK.
00:15:19
Cool, the old guy. The old guy he is he is he is
00:15:22
black Panthers joker. I thought it was interesting
00:15:27
that they introduced him and it's like the name of the
00:15:30
episode hot topic Avengers. That's good.
00:15:32
We're we're we're holding on to that one.
00:15:34
But I mean. Already wrote it down.
00:15:36
Yeah, the the again, the dude with the big lip, He's an older
00:15:39
guy. He is T'challa's Joker.
00:15:43
Interesting. He's just like an anarchist.
00:15:45
It's crazy. He's he's nuts and he causes all
00:15:47
kinds of problems. Well, obviously this is going to
00:15:51
come out after Doomsday and probably after Secret Wars.
00:15:55
And Secret Wars is like, what, a year and a half away from us?
00:15:58
That's crazy. So if anything, I think Black
00:16:02
Panther 3 is going to be some kind of a little bit of a stand
00:16:08
alone story. So it might pull back and might
00:16:10
be Cherie Mbaku, you know, back taking care of Wakanda and that
00:16:15
sort of thing. And maybe there's a threat to
00:16:17
Wakanda, so. Yeah, I mean, there's, there's,
00:16:20
there's, there's always a threat to Wakanda.
00:16:22
Exactly. Well, now, now that they've
00:16:24
revealed themselves, there's definitely threats, you know,
00:16:26
and again, shadows of Wakanda, I mean, given the name that
00:16:31
they're, that the, that they're giving it right now, or at least
00:16:34
the, a temporary name, they've given you the shadows of
00:16:36
Wakanda. Again, that's something where I,
00:16:40
I brought up this whole idea of Nokia falling, falling from
00:16:44
grace like that would be something that shadows of
00:16:46
Wakanda is because what forces Nokia to go that route.
00:16:50
Or again, Achabe is a is a noble within Wakanda's borders.
00:16:58
Again, you know, somebody on that side, somebody with that
00:17:01
amount of power falling from grace and causing problems
00:17:05
within Wakanda. That's something I'm kind of
00:17:07
hoping for because those two characters are very major within
00:17:11
that mythos. Yeah, all.
00:17:14
All I'll say is this gives me a little bit more is hope that
00:17:20
Secret Wars isn't going to be like a complete reset.
00:17:23
Yeah, because I was fearing that it was just going to be we're
00:17:25
literally resetting everything. Then we're going to do a new
00:17:27
Captain America, we're going to do a new Thor, we're going to do
00:17:30
a new like, we're just going to restart it.
00:17:32
That doesn't seem to be happening, which is good.
00:17:36
So. Yeah, I don't, I don't fully
00:17:38
think they're going that route. Again, when I when I hear them
00:17:40
say soft reboot, I don't think they're rebooting the
00:17:43
characters. I think this is a way for them
00:17:44
to reboot the storylines. Right.
00:17:47
It's more of a like, well, OK, now we have, you know, kind of
00:17:50
yeah, we're going to put people in a similar position and yeah,
00:17:53
anyway. Right, right.
00:17:54
Any other any other thoughts here?
00:17:57
All right, well, for now, the Wakandans will return in
00:18:01
Avengers Doomsday, right? I just realized I didn't take
00:18:07
anything off the screens here. So let's let's continue on with
00:18:12
the next story. Is the multiverse doomed?
00:18:17
Doomed. OK, Avengers Doomsday will
00:18:26
reunite. I really do maybe need to put
00:18:29
that on the soundboard. Avengers Doomsday will reunite
00:18:32
The Avengers while also folding in Marvel's first family in a
00:18:36
lineup of familiar mutants from the Fox X-Men universe.
00:18:40
The common enemy is Doctor Doom, a multiversal threat who's
00:18:43
ambitious, who, and whose ambitions clearly extend far
00:18:50
beyond a single reality. But according to the latest
00:18:52
rumor, Doom's plan doesn't begin with conquest.
00:18:56
It begins with cooperation. Oh.
00:19:00
So I I heard about this. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:19:03
Yeah, I heard we might not even see Doom's face, but
00:19:08
immediately, right off the bat, he's tricked the Fantastic Four.
00:19:13
You know, we'll talk about the the latest teaser trailer in a
00:19:16
minute. And he tricks Fantastic Four, he
00:19:19
tricks the Wakandans, and he's just pushing through, almost
00:19:22
like a hero. Right.
00:19:25
Yeah, it, it seems like he's coming in, he's going to be
00:19:27
connecting with, like he's coming in with the Fantastic
00:19:31
Four as if, you know, he's allied with them when they come
00:19:34
to the 616 or whichever universe they're all meeting up in.
00:19:38
And, and, and it seems like he's just, he's kind of he's, he's
00:19:43
Trojan horsing himself, right? Like he is just making it seem
00:19:47
like he's a good guy. And then he's setting it up so
00:19:51
that The Avengers and the Fantastic Four are going to be
00:19:55
clashing with the X-Men. And then we're we're almost
00:19:58
going to be getting a soft MBX, which again, everybody's been
00:20:03
talking for a while about how much they want Avengers versus
00:20:07
X-Men. Yeah, And this would be a way to
00:20:10
kind of either set up the storyline and create kind of
00:20:13
like a little bit of tension there, or, you know, maybe it
00:20:15
backfires and, and doesn't work exactly the way they do and
00:20:18
wants it to, but it, it kind of seems like that's where they're
00:20:21
going with it. And I, I love the idea of taking
00:20:24
Superior Iron Man, which is Doctor Doom, and taking Avengers
00:20:30
versus X-Men, mashing it together and getting those
00:20:33
storylines. Yeah, yeah.
00:20:37
I think, you know, because there's so many rumors about
00:20:40
Doom trying to like, steal kids from multiple, like, universes,
00:20:46
maybe like they're like Vecna, kind of like kind of like
00:20:52
they're they're the new anchor beings of their reality.
00:20:56
I've heard that a couple in a couple of different videos that
00:20:58
I saw. Yeah.
00:21:00
I think he's going to trick everybody, but almost not lie
00:21:04
but not tell the entire truth. Like I think he's going to be
00:21:08
like, hey, Fantastic Four and Incursions coming.
00:21:11
You obviously know what that is, Reed.
00:21:13
OK, I do. It's going to be, you know, the
00:21:16
X-Men universe. It's either us or them.
00:21:18
You got to make a decision, you know?
00:21:20
So I think he's going to be saying that, but I think in the
00:21:22
end it's going to be him that's trying to cause the incursion.
00:21:29
Exactly. Is that going to be his voice?
00:21:32
Is that the new Doctor Doom voice?
00:21:33
That would be an amazing Doctor Doom.
00:21:36
I tricked you. I tricked you.
00:21:38
I tricked you. OK.
00:21:39
All right. I don't know where to go after.
00:21:50
That he literally just broke me right there.
00:21:56
All right, is there any what? Well, we've broken James.
00:21:58
We should move on. No, I I really.
00:22:01
It's nothing hasn't been set already.
00:22:03
I really don't. Yeah, I.
00:22:05
By the way, did you guys hear? About that.
00:22:07
Yeah, you guys hear about the whole children thing?
00:22:08
Yeah, no, I've actually been talking about that online again.
00:22:13
I I was on threads. We were talking about children.
00:22:15
Oh yes. I was, I was on threads earlier
00:22:18
today and I was bringing up because some of the stuff on
00:22:23
threads has been, you know, what is the connection between all
00:22:26
these teasers and I and I was saying that one, these teasers
00:22:31
already, they, they look like post credit scenes.
00:22:33
I don't think any of them are actually going to be in the
00:22:34
movie. I think all of the except for
00:22:36
maybe the scene with the Wakandans and the Fantastic Four
00:22:39
meeting and possibly Cyclops's optic blast, I think those are
00:22:44
the only two things that are going to be in these that are
00:22:47
going to be in the movies. I think everything else here are
00:22:50
more like post credit scenes that they're putting out to kind
00:22:53
of give threads. The Duff, I was going to say the
00:22:57
Duffers, the Russos said online that these are not teasers.
00:23:03
These are not trailers. They're they're bread crumbs.
00:23:05
They're hints and they're giving people an idea of what the plot
00:23:10
is going to be in the movie before they we we get a full
00:23:12
trailer. What that says to me, the
00:23:15
through line on all of this is family.
00:23:17
If you if you look at every single one of these teasers,
00:23:22
there is something that has to do with family and legacy,
00:23:28
right? And I think that that is that is
00:23:32
going to be the main thing is going to be doom breaking up
00:23:36
families or causing things that make people have to choose
00:23:41
between their family and in the right thing.
00:23:45
And on top of that, again, every single one of the people that
00:23:48
we've seen so far has something that they they, they are
00:23:51
unwilling to lose, right? Captain America has his child
00:23:57
Thor and love right. Obviously going into the X-Men,
00:24:01
if you know anything about the X-Men, the X-Men are nothing but
00:24:03
family. That is, that is 90% of the ties
00:24:06
of X-Men is that they are a family.
00:24:08
They're, they're, they're a found family.
00:24:11
And then of course, everything that's going on with the
00:24:15
Fantastic Four, you know, and, and with Franklin, the
00:24:22
Wakandans, right? Franklin is going to be 1
00:24:24
character and, and Franklin is an Omega level character.
00:24:28
But then also Toulouse, you know, like we didn't see him in
00:24:31
this, but Toulouse is, you know, to Charles Junior, Toulouse is
00:24:35
another character that is going to be someone that they are
00:24:38
going to want to protect, right? With Ant Man, we'll talk about
00:24:43
that trailer more in a minute. But while you said that, one of
00:24:46
the lines that Sherry says in the teaser trailer is that she
00:24:49
says she lost everybody, right? And she she's lost her brother,
00:24:55
her father, her mother. Did she also lose her nephew,
00:25:00
right? We shall see.
00:25:01
Right. So that that was one thing about
00:25:03
that. The other thing is that's also
00:25:05
what that kind of gave what made me it earlier today, It made me
00:25:08
think of of malice because it's like at this point, she says
00:25:12
I've lost everybody. Well, you still have Nokia.
00:25:16
So if Nokia has fallen from grace, well, that's what I'm
00:25:18
saying. If Nokia has fallen and she's
00:25:20
become malice and she's we're we're accelerating that thought
00:25:24
that I had earlier in in the conversation earlier, right?
00:25:27
And Nokia has become malice. Well, she's lost everyone, you
00:25:30
know. And if Doom has taken to loose,
00:25:33
then she really has lost everybody, right.
00:25:37
And then I was saying from the X-Men connection on this front
00:25:41
of the show, Thomas was saying that he he thinks that Jean Grey
00:25:46
is going to be the big piece for the X-Men.
00:25:50
I think it's going to be Rachel. Rachel Summers is she inherits
00:25:57
the Phoenix force from her, from her mom, right?
00:26:01
So again, an Omega level mutant, right, that Doom can take and it
00:26:08
it seems like he's taking all of these future powerful kids and
00:26:12
he's trying to do something with them.
00:26:14
So the the the quick it the whole children of the multiverse
00:26:19
theory is that Doom is looking to get all these kids from the
00:26:23
different universes and they all are connected somehow either
00:26:27
like they're not supposed to be alive, like Steve Rogers kid is,
00:26:32
you know, of two different universes.
00:26:35
Steve is from one timeline and then that Peggy is from
00:26:39
technically a different timeline now.
00:26:40
So like, wait a second, my kids not supposed to exist.
00:26:43
You know, love was brought back to life by I think it was
00:26:49
eternity or something like that at the end of the movie, you
00:26:51
know, so it's like all in, you know, Franklin's got all this
00:26:54
cosmic power. So it's all this like he's
00:26:57
gathering some crazy powerful kids and we just don't know
00:27:03
what's going to happen. And that is five seasons of
00:27:06
Stranger Things for you. You're welcome.
00:27:07
There you go. There you go.
00:27:08
We just explained Vecna's entire fucking back story here, so all
00:27:14
right? I mean, so, so basically we've
00:27:17
covered the story below this Now do we want to just kind of
00:27:21
finish it up with the other stuff that happened in the
00:27:24
trailer here? Yeah, yeah.
00:27:25
So I mean, just kind of like we'll, we'll, we'll bring up the
00:27:28
the remainder of the trailer here.
00:27:29
So with that being said, Wakanda versus Yancey Street.
00:27:34
I love that scene too. It's so good.
00:27:37
Marvel has officially dropped the 4th trailer or teaser more
00:27:40
so than anything for Avengers Doomsday and this one brings
00:27:44
Wakanda into the spotlight. The Wakanda Focus preview
00:27:47
confirming Black Panthers return and the Fantastic Four are
00:27:50
officially interacting with characters from the main NCU
00:27:53
timeline for the first time following their solo film.
00:27:57
So I mean, again, there's, there's a couple of different
00:27:59
big things that happen in this whole thing.
00:28:03
We do get confirmation that Neymar and Namarita are going to
00:28:08
be in this. You know, there's, there's a
00:28:10
couple of different things that I noticed on Oh, go ahead,
00:28:13
James. Real quick, we didn't talk about
00:28:15
it last week because it was a leak.
00:28:17
This week Marvel has released it on YouTube, so it's official.
00:28:22
It's out there, so we don't want to spoil too much, but it's been
00:28:25
out there for a few days. Now, yeah, the trailer's out
00:28:27
there for you guys to watch again.
00:28:30
You know that they, they, they show that Neymour and Namorita
00:28:33
are, are, are coming back. The things that I noticed,
00:28:37
Namorita's face is actually colored when she's blue.
00:28:40
Phil, hi, How do you feel? Namora Namora.
00:28:45
Sorry, sorry Namora. He's putting, he's putting his
00:28:49
formal, he's putting Latin flair on it, and that's all it is.
00:28:54
Yeah, yeah. Sorry, I apologize no more but
00:28:59
the. Ciento.
00:29:00
But but The thing is like they show her, you know, with with
00:29:05
pure teleconians, they they they tend to be, you know, blue when
00:29:09
they're on the surface because of oxygen.
00:29:11
And her face is like flush with color, even though like her neck
00:29:14
is still blue, but her face has color and that's something that
00:29:17
that's something to notice. It's showing evolution.
00:29:20
Also, Neymour's outfit is starting to look more like the
00:29:24
one from the comics, like the the all black outfit that he has
00:29:28
in the comics, the collar, the collar.
00:29:31
So like that was that was pretty cool.
00:29:33
Again I love this whole introduction where Umbaku comes
00:29:38
up and goes I am King Umbaku of Wakanda and fucking it thing
00:29:43
goes the the whole thing is he was saying he goes from.
00:29:51
I am Ben, I'm from Yancey. Yeah, he goes.
00:29:54
I'm Ben from Yancey St. in between 3rd and whatever.
00:29:58
And it's just like the way that he says it, it's just like, oh,
00:30:02
I'm meeting a king. Hi, so I, I, I just thought the
00:30:09
way that they kind of like played this off was really cool.
00:30:13
And then of course the very end of it is showing Shuri kind of
00:30:18
like getting battle ready. So I mean like, you know, they
00:30:20
ended on that. So I'm I again, this kind of
00:30:24
excites me even more. Some of the hints that are in
00:30:27
this are kind of showing that we're going to get more going
00:30:31
on. Any thoughts that you guys have
00:30:33
that we haven't even covered well?
00:30:36
Again, we kind of show Shiri is very, she's very down, she's
00:30:42
lost everybody. She's, you know, giving up the
00:30:45
Kingdom and she's really embracing being in the Black
00:30:47
Panther now. So, but I also thought was
00:30:50
interesting that her and Imbaku have new outfits and they had
00:30:57
like streaks of blue. So maybe they're using Neymour's
00:31:03
vibranium or something like that.
00:31:04
I don't know. But it just looks different.
00:31:07
What the end? What we traditionally.
00:31:08
See, right at the end of Wakanda Forever, there's a shaky
00:31:11
alliance that gets put together between Sheree and and Neymour.
00:31:16
So I mean, like, you know, it's it's, it's one of those things
00:31:19
where there's like we're not going to fight, but we're also
00:31:21
not friends. So, you know, maybe there is a
00:31:24
little bit of trade that's going on.
00:31:25
Maybe there's a little bit of a difference in technology between
00:31:30
Talukan and and Wakanda. And again, it'll be interesting
00:31:34
to see what goes on with that. Yeah, I I like this trailer.
00:31:38
This is between this and the and the X-Men one.
00:31:43
I'm all in. I'm all in.
00:31:45
Yeah. No, I'm.
00:31:46
I'm definitely. So yeah.
00:31:49
All right, well, that is the last thing we have for straight
00:31:54
from Jay Jonah, so I'm going to pass this over to should do,
00:31:59
should do. It's time for watching the
00:32:03
Watchtower. Indeed it is again.
00:32:08
I love that so much. All right, so in young Phil
00:32:13
called it news. A series of social media posts
00:32:15
from Sebastian Stan's long time stylist has fans convinced that
00:32:19
he is playing Harvey Dent in The Batman Part 2.
00:32:22
Michael Fisher shared a new style graphic on Instagram that
00:32:25
listed the reported cast for The Batman Part 2 One Slide and
00:32:29
particularly stood out reading plainly Sebastian Stan as Harvey
00:32:32
Dent. So what do we think?
00:32:34
So I can't take all the credit for this, mainly because.
00:32:38
I I have heard other people say this, but yes.
00:32:39
No, no, this, this purely was when I, when I made the
00:32:43
prediction, it purely was off the top of my head.
00:32:46
I didn't think of anybody else. I just thought he would probably
00:32:48
make a good Harvey Dent. But I went back and listened to
00:32:51
the episode this week and I was like, Oh no, wait, she do also
00:32:55
called this. So we both called this out
00:32:56
'cause I said I, I, I, I, I said, I, I think he would be a
00:32:59
Harvey Dent. And then she knew you were like,
00:33:01
you know what, I was also thinking that.
00:33:03
And so it's like I'm going to give you partial credit on that
00:33:05
one 'cause you also were thinking.
00:33:06
That thank you I. Guess just so we're all clear,
00:33:08
Harvey Dent was also on my list, yes?
00:33:10
So. So Harvey Dent was definitely on
00:33:12
your list. All right.
00:33:14
Great. Yeah.
00:33:14
All right. Want this?
00:33:15
But yeah, again, I, I, I kind of this, this is just like to tell
00:33:20
people to go and listen to last week's episode again.
00:33:24
I, I made a lot of points on why I think Sebastian Stan will make
00:33:27
a good Harvey Dent. And I obviously, obviously they,
00:33:32
they also thought the same thing over at DC.
00:33:34
So yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm excited to see what he brings to the
00:33:39
character. I think that he he, he's a good
00:33:44
enough actor and he has the look.
00:33:46
I think that he would pull off a really good Harvey Dan.
00:33:48
I'm interested in seeing what they do with this with with the
00:33:51
makeup and and the way they do his face.
00:33:54
Yeah, I mean the Michael Fisher did post like edited images
00:34:00
afterward with him as two face. So, you know, we're that seems
00:34:06
to be happening or maybe he's just speculating or whatever.
00:34:08
But again, he's like he's the stylist.
00:34:11
So it seems like he'd know, you know, if they were doing 2 faced
00:34:15
makeup. I think he's a.
00:34:16
Personal stylist though, so I mean like that.
00:34:18
Oh OK, so he's not like the stylist for that.
00:34:20
I was I thought he might was stylist for Batman Part 2.
00:34:22
Yeah, well, I was looking it up. So Michael Fisher is Sebastian
00:34:26
Stan's stylist, but he also styles other celebrities too.
00:34:30
So I was like, is he legit? Because he's got pictures of,
00:34:35
you know, Sebastian Stan. And then like who who did we
00:34:38
just talk about? Joe Kiri, Joseph Quinn?
00:34:42
He's doing all like. You know, it's just just in a
00:34:44
folder on his computer. Just all the big name Hollywood
00:34:48
celebrities he's he's doing pictures for.
00:34:51
So I'm like, OK, this actually looks more legit than anything
00:34:55
else. So yeah, all of a sudden he's a
00:34:57
source of, of international. Yeah, No, I mean, I could,
00:35:01
again, I could believe this. Yeah.
00:35:03
And, and Warner Brothers does have yet to confirm this, so
00:35:06
we'll see. This is still technically a
00:35:08
rumor, but yeah, I don't. I don't see any reason why not.
00:35:12
I think it'd be a good Harvey Dent and it'd be interesting.
00:35:14
Yeah. And and again, this this kind of
00:35:16
falls down that line of Long Halloween.
00:35:18
You know, again, I've I've been pushing that for this entire
00:35:21
series. The first movie was very much
00:35:24
down that that that through line adding in Harvey Dent.
00:35:28
There is a massive storyline with Harvey Dent and within
00:35:31
within this and again. And with his with his wife too,
00:35:34
isn't it? Yes.
00:35:35
And we already know Guild is going to be in this we we we
00:35:37
already know Scarlett Johansson is playing Guild is playing
00:35:40
guilded dent. So I mean.
00:35:41
Exactly and so. So it it would make sense, right
00:35:45
that we would be getting a Harvey Dent and and Sebastian
00:35:48
Stan is a guy that would perfectly play the character
00:35:52
again, my hope is at some point, because calendar man is the big
00:35:55
bad in the entire thing, is that we get calendar man in it
00:35:59
eventually. Yeah, me too.
00:36:01
That'd be great. And played by Sean Gunn.
00:36:05
He's already played him though, so I mean.
00:36:07
I know I'm saying let's again, let's do it again.
00:36:10
I just think it'd be funny. That connects the entire
00:36:13
universe is, you know, Sean. Is the anchor being Sean Gunn?
00:36:17
Is the anchor being of. Have you guys heard all the
00:36:22
rumors about how Bucky is the anchor being of 616?
00:36:28
No. So yeah, the rumors that Bucky,
00:36:30
I'm not going to go too far into it, but it's because if you
00:36:33
trace everything back, everything, every major event
00:36:37
within the 616, Bucky's been a part of.
00:36:42
And to an extent, some stuff would have never happened were
00:36:46
Bucky not there. So Bucky's the one that kills
00:36:50
Iron Man's parents. Had he not killed his parents,
00:36:53
he would he wouldn't have become Iron Man because he his parents
00:36:56
would have still been alive. He wouldn't have had all that
00:36:58
trauma. He would just be like a a rich
00:37:00
alcoholic you. Know what?
00:37:03
Maybe. Maybe if his parents didn't die,
00:37:06
he becomes Doctor Drew. True.
00:37:09
The other big thing was Captain America never becomes Captain
00:37:12
America. He would still be the guy on
00:37:14
stage performing because the only reason that Steve goes out
00:37:19
and and defies orders and like you know, said, it says I, I
00:37:22
don't, you know, fuck your orders was because when he heard
00:37:26
that Bucky got captured, he was like, I'm going to go save my
00:37:29
friend whether you like it or not.
00:37:30
That's a good point, you know. Yeah, I'll give that one to you.
00:37:34
I don't think that was planned out at all.
00:37:36
No, but, but like, but it adds up every major event, like every
00:37:40
major event within Marvel, even even going to like end game and
00:37:44
everything like that, right. The White Wolf played a big part
00:37:46
in all of that. So I mean like if you, if you go
00:37:49
to every major thing, the, the, the, the theory right now, the
00:37:53
running theory is that Sebastian Stan's Winter Soldier or Bucky
00:37:59
and General James Barnes is the anchor being of 616.
00:38:05
It would be really funny, I know.
00:38:06
Interesting. That would be really funny.
00:38:09
Yeah, but. That's Marvel.
00:38:11
Is that everybody? Is everybody good with?
00:38:13
Yeah. All right, so Batman Part 2 hits
00:38:16
theaters on October the 1st of 2027.
00:38:20
So we have our next door here as wise.
00:38:23
Is Athena as beautiful as Aphrodite and as competent as
00:38:27
James Gunn? James Gunn is reportedly lining
00:38:29
up a big DCU moment that fans have been waiting for.
00:38:32
New information suggests that Wonder Woman can make her long
00:38:36
anticipated return in Man of Tomorrow, the upcoming sequel to
00:38:39
Super Ram. What do we think here?
00:38:43
I'm into it. I I think they're going to build
00:38:47
her up. Slowly or anything yet?
00:38:49
Because this is a rumor at this point.
00:38:51
Yeah, yeah. So I I can see them trying to
00:38:56
build her up slowly, like add a little bit of mystery to who
00:39:01
this DCU Wonder Woman is and before like jumping into her
00:39:05
story. But yeah, I could.
00:39:07
I could see them. I mean slowly dripping that that
00:39:10
that Amazon show, right? Paradise Lost or the.
00:39:15
Paradise Lost. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:39:16
Paradise Lost. I would love it if they did that
00:39:20
whole because that's I supposed to be more in the past.
00:39:25
I would love it if it the like they do that that, you know,
00:39:29
limited run or whatever, and at the very end they reveal 1 to 1
00:39:34
like it's all kind of building up to her.
00:39:37
And so we don't know who that is until the final.
00:39:40
I don't know if they could keep that under wraps, but I think
00:39:42
it'd be cool. Yeah, I, I like, it would make
00:39:47
sense for them to introduce her just to kind of like build, do
00:39:50
the world building and then, you know, in, in the larger world
00:39:55
introduce who Wonder Woman is. I don't think she's going to be
00:39:58
doing much in the story. No, just to acknowledge, hey,
00:40:02
there's a Wonder Woman out there.
00:40:04
Well, you know, OK, no, I'll take that back.
00:40:06
Because if you really think about it, if if it, if it's a
00:40:08
Brainiac story and Brainiacs coming in, there's a there's a
00:40:12
world ending event such as Brainiac coming to to destroy
00:40:17
the world. This would be something that
00:40:20
would make Wonder Woman come out, come, come back out of the
00:40:22
weeds. And again, this is a lived in
00:40:24
world. So I'm going to assume that
00:40:27
Superman, Batman, they all know Wonder Woman already.
00:40:32
They just haven't teamed up and built the Justice League yet.
00:40:35
Right. So this would be like a reason
00:40:38
for this has to be a big thing if you're leaving paradise, if
00:40:41
you're if you're. Leaving, no So Batman and
00:40:44
Superman and Wonder Woman and Lex Luthor are all going to be
00:40:46
in the same movie once again. Yeah.
00:40:50
Yeah, well, at least they're not calling it a Batman versus
00:40:54
Superman this time. I don't think Batman's going to
00:40:58
be in this one. I I think it's no, they're going
00:41:00
to focus more on Superman and Lex Luthor teaming up.
00:41:03
But I mean, seeing as Superman itself had a shit ton of
00:41:07
characters in it, I would not be surprised if we did pepper in
00:41:10
some other people in the Man. Absolutely.
00:41:12
Absolutely. Yeah, I could see.
00:41:13
I could see Diana coming in so that.
00:41:16
'D make your mom happy. I would, yeah, exactly.
00:41:20
Yeah. And yeah, we again, we don't
00:41:23
know who that is. Who, you know, the reports are
00:41:27
saying that, you know, he's looking for up and coming
00:41:30
actresses. Tall, 20, have fighting skills,
00:41:32
standard stuff, that kind of thing.
00:41:34
So yeah, I think. It could be any character, but I
00:41:37
mean. Which, yeah, this could be
00:41:40
anyone. So like, it's not even saying,
00:41:43
oh, they have they have to have black hair.
00:41:44
It's like there's there's nothing there.
00:41:46
But yeah, I'm, I'm excited about it.
00:41:47
I I would like to to see who they pick.
00:41:51
I am not nearly as invested in Wonder Woman.
00:41:53
This my mother is so I can't really speak that much on this,
00:41:58
but yeah. So DC use Man of Tomorrow is
00:42:04
scheduled for release tomorrow. No, it's scheduled for release
00:42:06
on July 9th of 2027. That's going to be fun.
00:42:11

00:42:57
Guys, it's time to get into all the news around the world.
00:43:01
I just realized I'd never made a graphic for this part so it's
00:43:03
just going with the the headlines graphic.
00:43:07
Yeah, all good. It's going to be quick.
00:43:08
We're just doing some one shots, almost like some some headlines
00:43:11
and go from there just to get it out there.
00:43:13
So the 5th Jackass movie is about to kick theaters in the
00:43:18
balls. Johnny Knoxville announced
00:43:21
there's a new Jackass movie coming June 26th.
00:43:25
That quick. Wow, it must have been filming.
00:43:29
Yeah. So let's see the next one.
00:43:32
HBO is digging deeper into the Pit.
00:43:36
The first season Landon and impressive 13 Emmy nominations
00:43:40
took home five wins. The second season just dropped
00:43:44
and HBO Max has officially renewed the pit for a third
00:43:48
season. I, I haven't watched it yet.
00:43:50
Young Phil, I know you're watching it.
00:43:52
I haven't, yeah, I haven't started season 2 yet.
00:43:55
Season 1 was great. I, I started Pluribus so I'm
00:43:59
like watching that and then once I'm done with that I'll probably
00:44:01
go into Pit Season 2. Jump back into it.
00:44:03
Yeah, There you go. So Pitts coming back for season
00:44:06
3, All right, keeping it going. MO magic, MO problems.
00:44:10
According to Deadline, HBO may be casting casting rumors with
00:44:16
Tilda Swinton to play Voldemort. I know we talked about this a
00:44:21
couple weeks ago about maybe they were going to gender swap
00:44:24
Voldemort. It looks like it may be
00:44:26
happening. The legendary actor best known
00:44:29
to genre fans for playing the Ancient One in the MCU.
00:44:35
I don't know real quick about this.
00:44:38
I could see it. I could see it.
00:44:39
I have I have two quick comments on this one, go for it.
00:44:43
Tilda Swinton is tends to play non binary characters, so even
00:44:48
though she identifies as a she, she does play male characters
00:44:50
and things like that. I've seen her do that.
00:44:52
Two I I I can't help but feel like HBO is trolling.
00:45:00
I was about to say yeah, please make the Please let this be a a
00:45:05
slight to to JK Rowling. Yeah, I, I, I can't, I can't
00:45:08
help but feel like this is the second time that they're doing
00:45:11
that to JK Rowling because they did that in the game beautiful.
00:45:14
And they, they, they put a trans main character in the game and
00:45:18
it pissed off a lot of the beautiful her fans and all that.
00:45:22
So again, that I'm going to leave it at that, but yeah.
00:45:27
I love it. Yeah.
00:45:28
No, we, we, we need more of that.
00:45:29
I know I like it. I like that casting.
00:45:31
I think it's good real quick Ger in the chat mentioned Monarch
00:45:35
season 2 trailer dropped. I did see that today.
00:45:38
We I don't know if you guys have have watched the the trailer,
00:45:41
but we get some Kong in the trailer so.
00:45:43
I saw that it dropped. I haven't seen seen the trailer
00:45:46
yet though. Well, I just spoiled it for you.
00:45:48
Sorry about that. I knew Kong was going though, so
00:45:50
I knew Kong was in it, no. See, there you go.
00:45:53
OK, Netflix likes what it sees. Black Mirror has officially been
00:45:58
renewed for Season 8, with creator Charlie Brooker already
00:46:04
deep into the early stages of shaping the next batch of
00:46:06
unsettling stories. Man, that is going all right.
00:46:10
More Netflix. News, you know what I mean?
00:46:11
I, I feel like we're living in Black Mirror right now, so I
00:46:13
don't know how scary it is, but you.
00:46:17
Know, oh, you're not watching Netflix, you're watching the
00:46:19

00:46:20

00:47:41
synopsis. God, I haven't done that so long
00:47:45
I missed it go. The time of the end is nigh.
00:47:50
Dark forces are aligning all across the continent with
00:47:53
villainous designs on Siri. Even if Geralt and Jennifer can
00:47:57
save their daughter and fulfill their last wish of reuniting as
00:48:01
a family, they'll have to face obstacles and enemies the likes
00:48:06
of which they've never faced before since Geralt has a new
00:48:11
face. Yeah, it's an entirely different
00:48:13
person. Become another person.
00:48:16
Oh my goodness, yes, the the the new challenges are Geralt has
00:48:20
suddenly come from another universe.
00:48:23
Exactly. And for some reason, he's
00:48:25
Superman now. Right.
00:48:27
And yeah, and and also needs to kill other immortals to to stay
00:48:32
immortals. Right.
00:48:32
And he's going to be a Space Marine when he's done with that,
00:48:35
so. Yes, exactly.
00:48:37
All right, let's continue. All right.
00:48:39
Keep it going. Sinking our teeth into into some
00:48:43
Buffy news, Sarah Michelle Gellar has some updates on the
00:48:47
new Buffy series. It's not a sequel, it's not a
00:48:50
reboot. It's a continuation.
00:48:54
A sequel to be but OK. Exactly.
00:48:57
Sarah Michelle Gellar said the series will answer the questions
00:49:00
of where Buffy is now in this world.
00:49:03
And what is this world that Buffy lives in with her and
00:49:07
without her. OK.
00:49:09
Sounds like a reboot and a sequel, I mean.
00:49:12
Doesn't. But it's not either, but it's
00:49:14
both. It's a continuation which
00:49:16
doesn't help, doesn't make it. It's a continuation.
00:49:20
That's what a reboot is on. That's very Tangled.
00:49:26
Speaking of, Disney is letting down its hair with some casting
00:49:31
news. Walt Disney Pictures has locked
00:49:33
in its leads for the live action adaption of Tangled, casting
00:49:38
Tegan Croft and Milo Mannheim in the iconic Rose of Rapunzel and
00:49:42
Flynn Rider. Honestly, I really love this
00:49:45
casting. Milo Mannheim became a fan
00:49:48
favorite through Disney Channel's zombie series and
00:49:52
Paramount. I forgot what he What was that
00:49:54
show on Paramount? I forgot anyway, but he's in
00:49:58
zombies. There's like 3 or 4 zombie
00:50:00
movies. He's really good.
00:50:01
He can sing, he can dance, he's great.
00:50:04
Tegan Croft, Young Phil Best known for playing Raven in DC
00:50:09
Titans. She was good.
00:50:11
She was a really good Raven. And he is a really good bed
00:50:14
ringer. It really is.
00:50:15
Yeah. These are both great castings.
00:50:17
Yeah. Yeah.
00:50:18
You know, Milo Mannheim loved him.
00:50:21
Loved, loved Milo Mannheim and his steamroller.
00:50:27
He's amazing during Christmas time.
00:50:29
Yeah. No, he's he's great.
00:50:31
I'm so confused right now. Look it up.
00:50:37
No, I I think those are both really great castings for the
00:50:42
new Tangled, Both young, both up and coming.
00:50:45
It's going to be awesome. This last story is where I'm
00:50:48
really excited about. This guy could could rock just
00:50:51
just the soul patch. Yeah, he's good.
00:50:55
He's good. All right.
00:50:56
Speaking of getting tangled with casting rumors, we've heard
00:50:59
rumors of Scarlett Johansson playing Mother Goffle in the
00:51:03
live action Tangled. But now Disney is working some
00:51:07
magic and eyeing actress Kathryn Hahn, and she's in talks for the
00:51:13
villainous role of Mother Goffle.
00:51:15
Didn't one of us say this at some point?
00:51:17
I think we did. I think one of us did say this.
00:51:21
This is obvious. This is this is perfect casting.
00:51:23
I I I again, Katherine Hahn can be really hot like she can be
00:51:30
look. No, no, no.
00:51:32
I mean, yeah, I don't know if I've explained this.
00:51:35
The problem is that I identify Agatha with my mother and so I
00:51:39
cannot see any of that. So many really, really, really
00:51:46
bad jokes. I'm aware, OK.
00:51:49
That I'm not going to do right now.
00:51:51
Part of the reason that. Yeah, right.
00:51:54
You already know me, dude. I like making you feel
00:51:56
uncomfortable, but that. Oh yeah, no, that.
00:51:58
Would make me feel. Uncomfortable.
00:51:59
Yeah. That's what I'm saying.
00:52:00
That would make me feel uncomfortable if I made those
00:52:02
jokes. Yeah.
00:52:03
Anyways, Katherine Hahn can be hot again.
00:52:08
We had a whole episode named Hot Gothel, right?
00:52:12
The whole, the whole idea about us talking, what is that A?
00:52:15
Name idea? Yeah, So, I mean, you know,
00:52:19
that's I, I, I think and she's got the acting chops for it.
00:52:22
She's a really good actress. So I, I, I think that would be
00:52:26
great. Let's let's let's.
00:52:27
Continue on. I I agree completely.
00:52:29
Yeah. I honestly like that casting of
00:52:33
Kathryn Hahn better than Scarlett Johansson.
00:52:36
Yeah, definitely. I absolutely agree with that.
00:52:38
I think that her as Mother Gothel is so much better than
00:52:42
than Scarlett Johansson. All right.
00:52:46
That's all I had for the one shots.
00:52:48
Let's get into some news. Before we get into the news
00:52:51
though, we've got one last shot out we got to do here, so we
00:52:56
ready for this. This is dirting is part of Geek
00:53:01
Freaks Network. If you're discovering your
00:53:02
latest binge building Lego, debating casting choices are
00:53:05
still not over that plot twist, Stranger Things.
00:53:08
The Geek Freaks Network has got you covered.
00:53:10
Your fandom, your community, your people.
00:53:13
Check out the Geek Freaks Network at gfpods.com.
00:53:17
Once again, that is GF pods.com. Love it, love it.
00:53:23
All right, Jamez, bring us in. What the hell, Sir?
00:53:27
Let's have Shadu do this one. Yeah, so.
00:53:31
All right, so the queen of the box office is here.
00:53:36
Zori Saldana has officially reached a milestone that puts
00:53:38
her in a league of her own. Thanks to the continued global
00:53:42
dominance of Avatar, fire and Ash, the actor now holds the
00:53:45
title of the highest grossing actor of all time.
00:53:47
Didn't know that was a thing, but all right.
00:53:49
Zori Saldana has surpassed Scarlett Johansson and sits
00:53:52
comfortably ahead of Samuel L Jackson, Robert Downey Junior
00:53:55
and Chris Pratt collecting. Her films have pulled in more
00:53:59
than $15.4 billion worldwide. She's played Gomorrah in the
00:54:05
Marvel Cinematic Universe, Natiri in the Avatar saga and
00:54:08
Uhura in modern Star Trek. Don't forget about Pirates of
00:54:10
the Caribbean, along with a trio of Star Trek reboot films.
00:54:15
She also picked up an Academy Award for Best Supporting
00:54:18
Actress last year for her performance in Amelia Perez.
00:54:21
So movie box office is all about money and Zoe Saldana is writing
00:54:26
the tracks so. I knew this was going to happen.
00:54:29
I knew this was going to happen as soon as James Cameron said
00:54:33
I'm all in on on Avatar. Like he's going to do 17 of
00:54:37
these movies and she's in every single one.
00:54:41
Yeah. No, she's a great actress,
00:54:43
though not to. I know.
00:54:45
She really is. She's.
00:54:46
Wonderful, but like it's I. I don't think there's anything
00:54:49
Zoe Saldana has been in that I have not thoroughly enjoyed.
00:54:54
Yeah. Yeah, You know, this isn't like
00:54:57
what we talked about. Marvel, Avatar, Star Trek, those
00:55:02
those are great roles. That's not even my favorite Zoe
00:55:05
role. Like my favorite one is her in
00:55:07
Lioness. I was going to say lioness.
00:55:08
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Too, She's on, it's on
00:55:10
Paramount. It's a Taylor Sheridan show, but
00:55:15
she is super good in that she's super serious and it it gets
00:55:20
super dramatic in different ways, like action and drama.
00:55:26
She's balancing like being part of an OPS.
00:55:31
What do you It's not Black Ops, right?
00:55:34
No, kind of it's, it's, it's, it's, it's a black book team.
00:55:39
Like basically it's it's it's it's an off the books kind of
00:55:42
thing. But then she's balancing life at
00:55:45
home. Oh my gosh, it's, it's so good.
00:55:48
Yeah, Lioness, kid, you know, you know what I always think of
00:55:51
too, because like, I can't think, I can't look at Lioness
00:55:53
without thinking of the Losers, which is also Chris Evans movie
00:55:57
and everything like that. But like her character in the
00:55:59
Losers was really good. So I mean, like she's she's been
00:56:02
all over the place and she ranges from serious dramatic to
00:56:08
comedy to action star. She is all over the gamut and
00:56:14
yeah, again, she's absolutely hot.
00:56:15
So I'm like, she's not, not only is she hot generally, but she's
00:56:21
also a hot actress. And I don't mean that by her
00:56:24
looks, if you know what I mean, so.
00:56:26
I do. Yep.
00:56:27
I think everyone knows what you mean, Phil.
00:56:29
All right, so. I don't know.
00:56:32
Can you explain it? I'm just kidding.
00:56:34
Yeah, I mean, she's in every fucking thing and she's good in
00:56:36
everything that she's in, so. Speaking of money, the Long
00:56:41
River Netflix acquisition suddenly looks a lot less
00:56:43
certain. Paramount.
00:56:44
Has officially filed A lawsuit against Warner Brothers
00:56:47
Discovery pushing back against the Netflix deal and demands
00:56:50
more transparency on how that agreement is being valued.
00:56:54
According to Deadline, Paramount's lawsuit is aimed at
00:56:56
forcing one of our Discovery to provide what it calls basic
00:56:59
information tied to the Netflix agreement.
00:57:02
Paramount Skydance also plans to go directly after Warner
00:57:05
Brothers Discovery's board. Paramount intends to nominate
00:57:09
directors for election at the Warner Brothers Discovery 2026
00:57:12
annual meeting to solicit against the approval of the
00:57:15
Netflix transaction. Good gods.
00:57:17
If successful, that could reshape the board with members
00:57:20
more aligned to Paramount's offer rather than Netflix's.
00:57:25
Netflix may still win the deal, but Paramount is making sure
00:57:29
that it will not be easy or quiet.
00:57:32
Oh my God. I don't want to say paramount go
00:57:36
away, but paramount go away. Paramount is.
00:57:39
Being petty. They really.
00:57:41
Are they're being petty? It's it's because, OK, so the
00:57:44
whole thing, God, I don't want to, I don't want, I don't want
00:57:46
to do. This on the show I.
00:57:47
Don't want to do this on this show right now, OK?
00:57:51
Well, I was, I was thinking about I'm like, why are they
00:57:54
doing this? What is what are they hoping to
00:57:56
get out of this? What's the point?
00:57:57
But then it's one of these. Things it's the second line.
00:57:59
It's the second line here about them trying to get different
00:58:03
directors on the board of directors.
00:58:05
I'm like they're trying to take over the board of directors
00:58:08
before they even own the the company.
00:58:12
This that's. Called a coup.
00:58:14
This whole thing this whole thing is because they were
00:58:17
promised Warner Brothers, they were promised if we give certain
00:58:22
people, if we grease certain palms that we are going to get
00:58:26
this and we are going to be the dominant force in every movie is
00:58:30
if it unless it's Disney is going to be us and we are going
00:58:33
to make all of the money right we.
00:58:36
We it is so corrupt. Fucking transparent that they
00:58:41
are trying to build a monopoly. Yeah, I don't know how.
00:58:43
You can look at this and not be like, hey, look, it's a
00:58:46
monopoly. Yeah, it is.
00:58:47
Literally what a monopoly. It is corruption at the highest
00:58:50
form and the highest level. And the whole thing is because
00:58:54
Warner Brothers just like, well, we have a better deal with
00:58:56
Netflix. We think that that's going to be
00:58:58
a better deal. It throws a a wrench into the
00:59:01
whole cog and now they're probably crying to their buddies
00:59:06
that are the ones that are supposed to be running all this
00:59:08
stuff and going to the FCC and saying, Oh, well, well, no, that
00:59:12
we're that was supposed to be our deal and that's supposed to
00:59:15
be our money and we're supposed to be getting.
00:59:17
That they're a bunch of whiny little children it is who have
00:59:19
way too much money. It is, it is the Ellisons are
00:59:23
pissed because they spent all this money and they're not
00:59:27
getting the return that they that they were expecting out of
00:59:29
it and now they're they're having a tantrum about it.
00:59:34
Forgive me if I don't feel bad for our oligarchs.
00:59:36
Now again, I, I, I, I, I'm going to take back what I said at the
00:59:40
beginning, right when I said Paramount go away.
00:59:44
I don't have an issue with Paramount.
00:59:46
I have an issue with who's running Paramount.
00:59:49
Skydance. Skydance.
00:59:51
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have an issue with us having
00:59:55
just these, these little media fiefdoms.
00:59:58
That's my problem. I have an issue with the
01:00:00
leadership, not with the organization itself.
01:00:05
The Ellisons can disappear tomorrow and somebody else is
01:00:08
running Paramount and it will be a different company.
01:00:12
So I don't have an issue with Paramount.
01:00:14
I have an issue with who's running Paramount.
01:00:16
And I have an issue with the way that they're playing the game
01:00:19
because they're pissed off that Warner Brothers, the other major
01:00:22
giant studio outside of Universal and Disney is over
01:00:26
here not allowing them to absorb them.
01:00:29
And Netflix is getting that. And Netflix has all of these
01:00:34
plans that they don't like because they know Netflix is
01:00:37
going to make a bunch of money doing modernizing what all of
01:00:40
this is. It's just, it's just petty
01:00:43
bullshit. It is really all of those
01:00:45
that's. All I'm going to leave it at
01:00:46
mainly because, one, I know Frank is going to clip
01:00:49
everything I just said to piss off everybody on on TikTok and
01:00:52
and on the rails and everything like that.
01:00:54
Two, this is veering too far into politics and I don't want
01:00:59
to go into there. So because I don't want to, I
01:01:00
don't want to start getting anti capitalist here.
01:01:02
So let's move on. Yeah.
01:01:05
All right, So this is. You like, you like how I said
01:01:11
that those like I know Frank's going to clip everything I just
01:01:13
said. Yeah.
01:01:14
No, no totally totally. It's it's what Vecna wants you
01:01:20
to believe. Man.
01:01:21
After a full week of non stuff speculation, theories stacked on
01:01:25
theories stacked on theories, and fans reading way too deeply
01:01:29
into things. Conformity Gate, the belief that
01:01:31
Netflix was secretly holding back a surprise 9th episode,
01:01:34
officially fizzled out on January 7th, but not before
01:01:38
taking the streaming service down with it.
01:01:40
When 8 when 8:00 PM Eastern Time and 5:00 PM Pacific Time rolled
01:01:44
around, the same time previous episodes had dropped, fans
01:01:48
flooded Netflix anyway, convinced the real finale was
01:01:51
about to unlock. The search was so intense it
01:01:55
reportedly crashed the service. No secret episode ever appeared.
01:01:58
And just like that, Conformity Gate collapsed unto its own.
01:02:02
I told everybody. I told everybody.
01:02:05
No one listens to us. I.
01:02:08
No, no one listens. To it I believed I wanted it.
01:02:11
I'm I'm all for the rumors. I all admit it.
01:02:14
I was conformity or was conforming to conformity gate.
01:02:18
I wanted to believe there was something I even said something
01:02:20
to my wife and she's like, what happened to that ninth episode
01:02:24
you were talking about and I'm like I'll I'll go do the dishes.
01:02:27
Sorry. I told everybody, I told
01:02:32
everybody that all you guys are doing is, is you're Mephisto in
01:02:37
this all over again. It is not going to happen.
01:02:40
And I knew the reason I know it wasn't going to happen is
01:02:42
because they tied it up so neatly at the end of episode 8,
01:02:48
you know, and everybody's just like, no, there's more, you
01:02:50
know, they will. They wanted to come up with
01:02:53
every excuse for why there was going to be another episode,
01:02:56
mainly because it wasn't what they wanted it to be.
01:02:59
It's not that it wasn't good, it's that I we have all these
01:03:03
theories and these theories didn't play out.
01:03:06
And if there's got to be a way to to to to make our theories
01:03:10
true and it never worked out that way, it's not kind of how
01:03:13
it works. As I said last week, it is the
01:03:17
same type of thinking that leads to people being like, oh, the
01:03:21
the sequel trilogy should be decanonized.
01:03:23
Oh, the, you know, new, new Star Trek isn't Canon.
01:03:26
It's the same kind of people. It's that same kind of thinking.
01:03:29
It's like you you're not owed anything.
01:03:32
Yeah, you're this is someone telling you a story.
01:03:36
You're not, you know. If you want to be part of the
01:03:38
story, go play DND. Yes.
01:03:42
There's the whole, there's another, there's another
01:03:45
audience out there that just wanted more.
01:03:48
Stranger Things We There's people that just enjoyed the
01:03:51
ending, but they just wanted more.
01:03:54
I need you one of those people. Yeah.
01:03:57
And that's OK. We're going to conform together
01:03:59
and we lost. We lost.
01:04:03
Oh man, well, we're going to conform to losing.
01:04:09
Well, Speaking of forming, it's what Becca wants you to believe,
01:04:12
man. Again, Matt Duffer and Ross
01:04:15
Duffer are teasing that there's even more happening behind the
01:04:17
scenes, including a secret project they aren't allowed to
01:04:20
talk about yet. See, speaking with Entertainment
01:04:23
Weekly, Matt explained that the plan moving forward is
01:04:26
intentionally measured. Quote, Right now, everything you
01:04:30
said is all we have planned. Well, there's one other thing I
01:04:33
can't talk about. So I sort of just lied to you,
01:04:35
but that's also really cool. But the live action spit off is
01:04:39
what the main focus is right now.
01:04:40
I wish I could talk about it more, but we have a specific
01:04:43
idea or philosophy for how the show and the Stranger Things
01:04:46
universe you want to call it, that can continue.
01:04:50
So don't close the gate just yet.
01:04:52
Conformity Gate is back on. It's back on, yes.
01:04:57
It's not, it's not going to be a secret episode or a secret
01:05:00
season of Stranger Things. It's going to be a secret
01:05:03
project. Not secret.
01:05:05
No, no, it's going to. It's going to be either a spin
01:05:07
off series or secret project. Doesn't mean it's anything that
01:05:12
has to do with with Stranger Things.
01:05:14
They've already talked about doing spin offs and there's
01:05:17
going to be the spin off series that they're talking about and
01:05:20
then the anime or the animated show that's coming out, Tales of
01:05:25
85, and there's a book about Nancy, but this is something
01:05:29
different that they haven't talked about yet.
01:05:31
Again, it may not be Stranger Things related, they just know
01:05:34
what they have. Another project on Netflix.
01:05:36
This isn't how. Dare you?
01:05:37
They don't see. Their other projects?
01:05:39
Weirder stuff. They said the Stranger Things
01:05:42
universe, if you want to call it that, we're talking about
01:05:45
Stranger Things. OK, for how conformed?
01:05:48
Sir. It could be.
01:05:50
It could be unrelated though. This quote doesn't tell us
01:05:52
anything. Conform to that, it's more
01:05:55
strange. Thing we can't talk about sort
01:05:57
of like you that's also really cool and then they go into, but
01:06:00
the live action spin off is the main thing in folks which we
01:06:03
could talk about the live action spin off more I think is what
01:06:05
they're saying. I what I'm hoping for is not
01:06:10
conformity gate. It's hey, we're announcing
01:06:14
another Stranger Things show that takes place in the 90s.
01:06:19
Yeah. I'll conform to that.
01:06:21
I'm OK with that. James just want something to
01:06:25
just want something to conform to.
01:06:26
We need to give him something to conform to.
01:06:28
We just want more Stranger Things, OK, Is that so much to
01:06:33
ask? Well as I said, don't close the
01:06:37
gate yet form the gate is back on so.
01:06:40
Yeah, I I want to show. I want to show that takes place
01:06:44
in the 90s so that James can relive his his highlights from
01:06:50
from the early 2000s. You mean my blonde highlights?
01:06:53
Because I did have blonde. Highlights.
01:06:54
I know that's what I'm talking about.
01:06:55
I've seen I. Listened to way too much ska and
01:06:58
I. Bleach The entire soundtrack of
01:07:01
the show beats Scott. Yeah, no, James.
01:07:03
James, we've been friends long enough that I know.
01:07:05
I know about the blonde highlights.
01:07:07
I've seen the pictures. Don't threat.
01:07:08
Don't threaten me with a good time.
01:07:12
You know, you know what's crazy is like you look at James's hair
01:07:14
right now. Hold on, let me take this off
01:07:16
the screen. You look at James's hair right
01:07:17
now and he's got the salt and pepper that used to just be
01:07:20
blonde streaks. It was blonde.
01:07:23
There was blonde. It looked good.
01:07:24
So he, he's, he's always had good hair with a different color
01:07:29
in it. Yeah, and Blonde was one of
01:07:32
them. Blonde was one of them.
01:07:34
All right, so shifting gears entirely, this is Red Two call
01:07:38
sign. Maverick director Sean Levy has
01:07:41
shared that the Starfighter set became a magnet for Hollywood
01:07:44
heavyweights last week. Steven Spielberg was here, he
01:07:47
said, before casually dropping that Tom Cruise also paid a
01:07:50
visit. Cruz didn't just stop by, he
01:07:52
arrived by helicopter. Gross.
01:07:53
He blasted the Mission Impossible soundtrack over
01:07:55
loudspeaker. That's amazing.
01:07:57
That sounds hilarious. That's.
01:07:58
Such a flash. That's such a Tom Cruise thing,
01:08:02
man. Right.
01:08:05
Was he? Was he also?
01:08:06
Was he also dancing with the bald cap on?
01:08:08
He was just like Lex Gross meaning it the entire time He.
01:08:11
Was he? Was he?
01:08:12
He was purging all those featons that Levy drove that Cruz should
01:08:16
top behind one of the cameras, and the actor actually did it.
01:08:19
And now Tom Cruise is wielding a camera, ruining his very nice
01:08:22
shoes, Levy. Levy continued.
01:08:24
I don't want to say Levi, Levy continued.
01:08:26
According to the report, Levy was in the middle of staging A
01:08:28
lightsaber doodle set in the water, described as a muddy
01:08:31
pond. If only there was a Jedi running
01:08:34
scene for Tom. Oh my gosh, Can you imagine
01:08:37
that? He just shows up like, hey, look
01:08:39
at me, I'm Tom Cruise. I I I feel like this might be a
01:08:42
joke though. Like he arrived by helicopter,
01:08:45
but the it's so so Tom Cruise. Yes, here's the thing, Tom
01:08:53
Cruise, Tom Cruise himself confirmed that he directed a
01:08:57
underwater lightsaber scene. So it's like it's.
01:09:00
Incredible, man. Well, it's not.
01:09:02
It's not underwater. It's on the water, apparently
01:09:05
set in the water. No, it's it's supposedly,
01:09:08
supposedly it's like an underwater water.
01:09:10
Yeah. Which I mean kind.
01:09:12
Of makes me more. We've seen that before, yeah.
01:09:13
It kind of makes me more excited for for for Starfighter because
01:09:17
it's like. Yeah, I mean, I do want actual
01:09:21
starfighting in the movie, but sure.
01:09:27
It's just, it's just, it's a weird thing, right?
01:09:31
Yeah, because I'm like I, I'm I'm cool with this.
01:09:33
Sounds fun. Underwater lightsaber scene,
01:09:36
unlike a starfighter in My Starfighter.
01:09:37
Movie An underwater lightsaber duel as directed by Tom Cruise.
01:09:41
As directed by Tom Cruise. That's so good.
01:09:44
It's. So funny.
01:09:45
No, I love it. It's just hilarious.
01:09:47
It's also think about this, Tom Cruise's directorial debut is a
01:09:52
Star Wars movie. It's.
01:09:53
A star? Well, not not director,
01:09:55
cinematographer, cinematographical, I guess.
01:09:59
Something like that. There you go.
01:10:01
Yeah. That's man I I love.
01:10:03
That's hilarious. It's it so makes me want to see
01:10:06
this movie now like I just. I know it is.
01:10:12
It sounds like a ridiculous film.
01:10:13
When I'm I'm, I'm in. I'm there.

He's actually the guy that's running the the Marvel Predator
01:14:02

01:15:38
And just watch every MCU movie. One movie.
01:15:40
We could we, we could retract the hell out of it.
01:15:42
Oh yeah, that's that's exactly the point.
01:15:44
So we'd be refracting the hell out of it.
01:15:46
Love it. Yeah, so the buzzer from 6:30 to
01:15:49
