⭐ Episode Summary
This week on Distance NERDing, Phil and Jen run the ship duo-style—no Jahmez, no brakes, maximum chaos. We dive into Black Panther 3, Daredevil drama, Jimmy Olsen getting promoted, Star Wars news overload, The Mandalorian’s future, Ryan Gosling in space (again), and why Bob Iger needs an instruction manual before approving anything. We also debate Batman’s height (again), predict Secret Wars madness, and pitch a Distance Nerding CAR that comes with a free towel—because we’re classy like that.

00:05:23

00:05:27

00:05:30
So ladies and gentlemen, let's jump into the the the meaty part
00:05:34
of the news. It's time to jump.
00:05:39
I know, right? It's it's all the the pre show
00:05:41
jokes. It's time to jump into the
00:05:44
download. That was fun.
00:05:54
All right, well, let's jump into the first part here.
00:05:56
Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the first part of this
00:06:00
segment here. It's straight from Jay Jonah
00:06:04
covering all that Marvel news, ladies and gentlemen.
00:06:06
So let's let's jump right into this.
00:06:08
I'm going to get into the first story here.
00:06:10
Ryan, who, who will wake up the mantle for Wakanda's protector.
00:06:16
Director Ryan Coogler confirmed that Black Panther 3 is
00:06:19
officially his next film continuing the saga within
00:06:23
Wakanda. So we're we're ready for this.
00:06:25
Kugler stepping away from other rumored projects and it's a
00:06:30
prioritizable Conda kind of like X-Men because there was rumors
00:06:33
that he was going to be a part of X-Men.
00:06:35
This sets up the first Marvel's first trilogy LED up by by a
00:06:39
black director given that this is going to be the last piece.
00:06:42
So what are you? What are your thoughts on this
00:06:44
Fred? Well, I think it's really good.
00:06:47
I I like that that that he is coming back for the third one.
00:06:50
I do like that they're LED that he's, he started the trilogy and
00:06:55
now he's ending it. You know, I, I feel like that is
00:07:00
a better continuity because like James Gunn did all of the
00:07:06
Guardians of the Galaxy and I felt like they all had the same
00:07:09
tone. Whereas like with Captain
00:07:12
America, they had, what was it? Mcfeely did the first one and
00:07:16
then the Russo Bros did the 2nd and the 3rd.
00:07:21
So there is a different tonal thing.
00:07:23
I think that worked because Captain America, the first one
00:07:27
was set in the 40s and then the second one and the third one
00:07:30
were set now. So or well, in the future, I
00:07:33
guess, I don't know. But it wasn't.
00:07:35
It's in Marvel time anyway. And yeah, so I I like when the
00:07:40
continuity is the same. I feel like it's one voice or
00:07:45
the same voice throughout the whole thing tends to make a
00:07:48
stronger project. So yeah, I'm I'm for it.
00:07:52
Yeah, I agree. I am.
00:07:54
I'm very excited for this just because I, I love both movies
00:07:58
and there's a lot of people who were not as into the second
00:08:02
movie, but I, I enjoyed the second movie just as much as I
00:08:04
enjoyed the first one. I the the, the first one was
00:08:06
obviously my favorite of the two just because of the just the way
00:08:10
that it was presented, the way that the movie was done.
00:08:13
But I also absolutely love the second one because it brought in
00:08:16
different elements from the comics and everything like that,
00:08:19
of course, but gave us Neymour, you know, and, and gave us a, a,
00:08:26
a Latino anti hero, being that he's, you know, part of the
00:08:30
Mayan Mayan empire, something it was, it was really good.
00:08:34
I'm, I'm happy to see where it goes because there are so many
00:08:39
more Black Panther stories that can be told.
00:08:40
So I'm interested in seeing where he goes with it.
00:08:44
Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. And it feels like he's going to
00:08:46
usher in a new, like a the last, not at last incarnation, but
00:08:52
like the next Black Panther is what it sounds like, what I'm
00:08:55
getting. Those are the vibes I'm getting
00:08:57
right. Right.
00:08:59
So. I see that.
00:09:01
All right, let's move on to our next story here.
00:09:05
From Wakanda to Wolvie, Hugh Jackman weighs in on speculation
00:09:10
about when his Wolverine will return to the Marvel Cinematic
00:09:13
Universe. Jackman's comments reignite
00:09:16
chatter about Secret Wars casting leaks.
00:09:19
When asked if he would reprise Wolverine, Jackman has replied
00:09:22
Maybe I'm never saying never, never again.
00:09:28
It's raising questions about how Deadpool Wolverine tease up this
00:09:32
NCU timeline. So again, thoughts on Hugh
00:09:36
Jackman not being able to keep his mouth shut when it comes to
00:09:38
Wolverine. I, you know what I like I, I am
00:09:44
not a fan of loose lip sync ships.
00:09:46
I do appreciate this. I want all the tea.
00:09:50
You know, I say that I don't I, I absolutely stop like watching
00:09:56
for stuff because I'm like, I don't want this ruined.
00:09:58
But let me let's face it, Hugh Jackman is going to be back.
00:10:01
We all know he's going to be back.
00:10:03
You don't bring him back like like freaking Ryan Reynolds did.
00:10:07
And now they're like they own a freaking like racing boat team
00:10:11
in Australia. Did you see that today on on
00:10:15
Instagram? I'm like, Ryan Reynolds is never
00:10:19
letting him go, Therefore the MCU is never letting him go.
00:10:23
He'll show up randomly. I'm, I, I'm sure of it.
00:10:26
It's going to be one of those weird things where instead of
00:10:29
Stan Lee, we have to find The Wolverine.
00:10:32
It's going to be like Where's Waldo but with Wolverine?
00:10:35
Have you seen all the AI pictures of Wolverine and them
00:10:43
fighting Doctor Doom on set and everything like that?
00:10:45
Like it's all these AI pictures of him on the set of Doomsday.
00:10:50
Yeah, I he said I think in that and it was on the Graham Norton
00:10:54
Show that he said like all this stuff.
00:10:55
And on there he was like, hey, just use AI.
00:10:58
It's not like you guys aren't doing it anyway.
00:11:00
It's I was like, wow. He had a few drinks.
00:11:05
I'm thinking because Graham Morton likes to lick her up his
00:11:08
guests. He absolutely does.
00:11:10
And that stuff is actually really funny.
00:11:12
Yeah. No, I'm, I'm, I'm all in for
00:11:14
this. I I do want to see him.
00:11:18
As long as he's willing to play Wolverine, I'm willing to see
00:11:21
him as an alternate universe Wolverine.
00:11:24
I do think that we need, we need a fresh take on Wolverine.
00:11:29
I love you Jackman as Wolverine, especially now that he's able to
00:11:32
play the character as he's supposed to be.
00:11:35
Like you have that, you know, the, the crippling depression,
00:11:39
you have the alcoholism, you have the violence, all the
00:11:42
things about Wolverine that we weren't able to get with the old
00:11:45
movies. And, and I'm, I'm absolutely
00:11:49
loving the way that he's able to portray the character now.
00:11:52
I I just do feel like we need to get another version of the
00:11:56
character moving forward if we're going to continue with the
00:11:58
X-Men. I I absolutely agree.
00:12:00
I think that he could come back as like just a weird variant
00:12:04
Logan, like just show up every now and then and be like, hey,
00:12:09
needed a beer and then just leaves.
00:12:11
That's what I want. That is what I want.
00:12:13
Especially now that, like, you know, they're establishing the
00:12:16
different variants, that they made it clear that there are
00:12:18
different variants that can be played by different characters.
00:12:22
Henry Cavill, the cavalry and, and yeah, that's, that's
00:12:26
absolutely what's needed. I mean, they, they, they made it
00:12:29
clear that it's going to, it's probably going to be another
00:12:31
actor that plays him because they opened that door already,
00:12:34
so. Yeah, and with him, you can
00:12:37
actually cast older. It doesn't matter what his age
00:12:40
is because he's like what, 304 hundred years old or?
00:12:43
Something. Yeah.
00:12:44
Yeah. All right, well, let's, let's
00:12:48
keep it going here. Rumors explode with Doom
00:12:54
variants, Spider Man shakeups and trailer chaos.
00:12:58
Rumors swirling around of Avengers Doomsday suggests
00:13:02
Doctor Doom variants will storm the multiverse.
00:13:05
Tobey Maguire Spider Man may debut a fresh look, while Tom
00:13:08
Holland could sit this one out. An elite trailer breakdown
00:13:12
teases massive battles with shocking hero returns, so fans
00:13:18
are speculating on comic accurate Doom variants like Iron
00:13:22
Doom or Sorcerer Doom. I did mention before that
00:13:28
superior Doctor Doom or superior Iron Man, who is a version of
00:13:31
Doctor Doom could be something that they could bring in.
00:13:35
Yeah, you know, And of course Tobey Maguire rumors is he has a
00:13:40
rumored redesign sparking theories of the black suit or
00:13:43
battle scarred upgrade, which is kind of cool.
00:13:45
So what are your, what are your thoughts on those two things
00:13:47
before kind of moving on to the other parts of this?
00:13:50
I kind of feel like this is going to be like their one, not
00:13:54
their one chance because Doom always finds a way to screw
00:13:57
things up. He's like Barry Allen that way.
00:14:00
But yeah, I, I would love to see like an Iron Doom or a sorcerer
00:14:07
Doom. Or wasn't there another Doom
00:14:09
that was like. There's been a few variants.
00:14:12
I can't. Yeah, he's had several.
00:14:14
Right. There's been a few different
00:14:16
variants of of Doctor Doom within Marvel.
00:14:18
So I mean, it's it's going to be interesting to see to what
00:14:21
extent they do that, you know, especially now that they're kind
00:14:24
of playing with all of this and, you know, different versions of
00:14:26
Doctor Doom. I also think that, you know, or
00:14:29
I wonder if by the end of the film, because I've been
00:14:31
mentioning this, is if we get the final version of Doctor Doom
00:14:36
that is going to survive within the MCU.
00:14:38
You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, I could see that.
00:14:42
I'd also like for, for like Mcguire's stuff.
00:14:49
I, I, I mean, I guess I'm kind of, I want the Peter B Parker.
00:14:53
I want him in a freaking bathrobe.
00:14:56
That would be funny if we got Peter B Parker.
00:14:58
Like if it was if it was Tobey Maguire showing up and it's
00:15:01
Peter B Parker. Right.
00:15:03
That would be. I would love that.
00:15:05
I mean, yeah, I'd love the black suit or a battle scarred
00:15:09
upgrade, you know, Yeah, whatever.
00:15:12
Just fit Tobey in a suit. Clearly he he needs one.
00:15:18
Right, right, Toby in a suit would actually be great.
00:15:22
And then so other rumors that are coming in, Andrew Garfield
00:15:24
whispered as a surprise Spider man if Holland, if Tom Holland's
00:15:28
not going to be there. What are you?
00:15:30
What are your thoughts on Andrew Garfield coming in and being
00:15:32
like another surprise variant, like us getting another kind of
00:15:36
like multiverse or like a de facto multiverse spider verse
00:15:44
with Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire?
00:15:47
I would love to see both of them back, but I'm going to say don't
00:15:51
ask Andrew because he's not going to tell you.
00:15:55
So don't ask him if he's coming back.
00:15:57
He won't tell you. But no, I like that.
00:15:59
I actually like Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker.
00:16:04
I liked the way he did it. He has that like, aw, shucks,
00:16:08
kind of about him that I liked. So yeah, I think that'd be fun.
00:16:12
I think it's interesting that they're saying Tom Holland's not
00:16:15
like, that's the rumor that Tom Holland's actually not going to
00:16:17
be in this movie. And I'm like, like, freaking
00:16:20
Robert Downey Junior, like Tony Stark is freaking doom.
00:16:25
I don't know why you would set this up and not pay it off with
00:16:29
some sort of reaction from Tom Holland Spider man.
00:16:32
Right, unless they're saving that for Secret War.
00:16:34
But I mean, like, you know, because they weren't.
00:16:35
They've been saying for a while that Tom Holland Spider Man
00:16:37
isn't going to be in this because the events of this are
00:16:40
going to be simultaneous with Brand New Day.
00:16:44
Oh, OK. Well, then yeah, OK, that makes
00:16:46
sense then. All right then, I I retract my
00:16:50
statement. Yeah.
00:16:51
So then also, you know, there's a lot of chatter saying that
00:16:53
Scarlet Witch envisioned might be some of the heroes that
00:16:56
return in the in the trailer, but then also that the battle
00:16:59
scene towards the end of the movie is going to be akin to the
00:17:03
portal scene at at the end of End Game, but like with a lot of
00:17:06
multi layered multiverse chaos. So thoughts on that?
00:17:11
So I'm picturing like all like all these Sling rings or
00:17:15
whatever or the TVA things or whatever.
00:17:17
However, they're getting through there just like tons of them.
00:17:21
And then that final battle they cut off in the middle and then
00:17:26
they go up. Got to watch Secret Wars for the
00:17:30
end. That would be crazy if like if
00:17:32
they tee up like the big battle and that's what gets you to
00:17:37
Secret wars. Yeah, yeah.
00:17:39
Like that's how you get all the people in there and you're like,
00:17:41
wait, are we on Battle World? Yeah, it's like that's the
00:17:44
thing, just seeing everybody travel or something.
00:17:47
And then in Secret Wars we see the other side, like where
00:17:51
they're coming from, all of the world.
00:17:55
That would be like, as the credits are going in, you just
00:17:57
see all these, you know, you see Hydra, Hydra, Steve, you see
00:18:03
Captain Carter, you see, you know, all the X-Men, like just
00:18:08
everything, everybody. And then I hope that they get
00:18:13
this whole Monica thing set, like settled, because I feel
00:18:17
like she needs to come back. She's been gone a while.
00:18:21
Yeah, Did you see the rumors for about Alan Richardson?
00:18:26
Oh, about the venom thing. Yeah, I.
00:18:28
Didn't do. A thing on it.
00:18:30
Yeah, supposedly they say he's coming in as Eddie Brock and and
00:18:33
he'll be more comic book accurate version of Eddie Brock.
00:18:38
That, that might be cool. He's huge.
00:18:41
That would be a good Eddie Brock and a good Venom.
00:18:44
He'd be a very good Eddie Brock just because Eddie Brock is a
00:18:47
massive dude, but have him be Venom and he just, he'll have
00:18:52
that size advantage over Tom Holland.
00:18:55
And then it will really look cool when Tom Holland finally
00:18:58
kicks his ass. Right right.
00:19:03
So sticking in this this this transition into into the spider
00:19:08
man because the Peter tingle, but now it's with more shinobi.
00:19:14
Oh yeah a rumor claims Peter Parker will face ninjas in
00:19:18
spider man brand new day adding martial arts mayhem to the mix.
00:19:22
So I guess part of the thought on this is, you know, like would
00:19:27
the ninjas be tied to the Hand? I think that when we first
00:19:30
started talking about this rumor that we were saying, well, it
00:19:33
could be the Hand, especially if he's dealing with Daredevil and
00:19:36
he's dealing with with the Punisher and everything like
00:19:39
that. Like it kind of you get this tie
00:19:41
in for the Hand, right? But this is also some that the
00:19:44
first time that we're getting martial arts heavy characters on
00:19:49
screen with Spider Man. Yeah, no, I I agree with that.
00:19:54
I think it's going to be interesting.
00:19:56
I always find it really funny how like things that are so
00:20:00
like, oh, the hand and oh, it's the hand, it's the hand, and who
00:20:04
goes against them is the foot. It's like, huh?
00:20:10
It's not like they're not the Red Hand and the Blackfoot or
00:20:14
what I mean, you know, it's just like, OK, all right, that's how
00:20:17
we bring the guys Have a word limitation.
00:20:20
Yeah, it's how it's how we bring the Ninja Turtles into this
00:20:22
entire universe. Exactly.
00:20:24
There you go. I do think that that's
00:20:26
interesting. I also think that it opens up
00:20:32
more because didn't Frank deal with the hand with Matt or was
00:20:39
that only Elektra and the defenders?
00:20:44
Frank did deal with the hand, but again, it was, I think that
00:20:47
was in just the defenders. OK.
00:20:49
All right. Well, because I was going to say
00:20:51
that that might be interesting. Maybe we'll get a defender or
00:20:55
two. Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm really
00:20:58
hoping that we do because I do want to see the Defenders show
00:21:01
up and, and kind of, you know, outside of just the Daredevil
00:21:05
show, you know? Yeah.
00:21:07
Oh yeah, I do too. I'm thinking, I'm thinking, are
00:21:10
we going to get Electra? Electra Nachos would be good,
00:21:14
especially if like like say she is leading the hand and yeah,
00:21:18
that would be that would be kind of cool to see like her in in a
00:21:23
in a villain role because again, she plays a hero in a lot of her
00:21:27
stuff so. Yeah, she was leading like the
00:21:31
last we saw her in. I mean, obviously she had a
00:21:36
building drop on her butt, a really tall one.
00:21:41
But you know, Matt's alive, so she's probably alive.
00:21:45
And what's she going to do? Well, she's probably going to
00:21:47
come back for revenge. So I can see this happening.
00:21:51
Oh yeah, I can see it. Happening all right, yeah.
00:21:55
Well, let's see. Well, my, my thoughts on this
00:21:57
again, I, I think 100% that it makes sense to for it to be the
00:22:03
hand because they are probably the closest ties to any ninjas
00:22:07
in lore that spider man would find a fight unless they're, you
00:22:13
know, just trying to bring in a whole different character.
00:22:15
I mean it, it kind of really just depends on the character
00:22:18
that they're that they're bringing in 'cause if they're
00:22:21
like hench men for certain people.
00:22:25
Yeah, that's true. You know, it, it it again, it
00:22:28
really depends on what characters they're bringing in.
00:22:30
Like say, you know, it's like fun, fun aside that nobody saw
00:22:35
coming Silver Samurai. They're they're redoing Silver
00:22:38
Samurai because he was ruined in The Wolverine movie.
00:22:41
You know, so it's like, you know, we're getting like a full
00:22:43
silver Silver Samurai and he comes in and he's the villain,
00:22:46
you know, like that would. And then Shang Chi comes in and
00:22:49
says, The Avengers need you, right?
00:22:52
Come with me. Or, or, you know, it's tied to
00:22:54
Mr. Negative or something like that, 'cause remember the rumors
00:22:57
were that Mister Negative was going to be the main villain.
00:23:00
It's true, so there's. A lot of truth, there's a lot of
00:23:03
possibilities that that can go on on this one.
00:23:06
So all right, so let's go ahead and move on here.
00:23:11
So think Les Frank and more chaos.
00:23:17
Season 2 of Daredevil. Born Again confirms John
00:23:20
Behrenthal's Punisher will not appear, while Matthew Lillard
00:23:24
teases a mysterious new role against Vincent d'onofrio's
00:23:27
Kingpin. So with that, Baron Thal's
00:23:31
absence sparks fan outrage. People are pissed.
00:23:35
And, and I mean, the next time we see him, it's going to be in
00:23:37
the special presentation. So I mean, we're we're all
00:23:40
excited for that. I'm I'm really excited for the
00:23:42
special presentation. But me too.
00:23:45
Yeah, people are very upset that they're hearing that he's not
00:23:47
going to be in season 2, which I mean, he didn't have that big of
00:23:50
a presence in season 1. So I don't know why everybody's
00:23:53
so upset and things more so because people want to see more
00:23:56
of Frank Castle, but I don't know.
00:23:57
What do you think? Wasn't OK with it.
00:24:01
He was season 1. Although if if Matt is getting
00:24:06
the band back together to fight off kingpin, he would be a good
00:24:11
guy to have in the corner. So I don't know, like I think I
00:24:17
think they can put him off until season 3.
00:24:19
I do think he needs to come back.
00:24:22
But yeah, I they're going to have Jessica Jones.
00:24:26
She's going to do a lot of heavy lifting.
00:24:27
We know like both of the show and also probably in the show
00:24:32
because she's super strong. But yeah, I just, I, I don't
00:24:36
know, I, I'm OK with it because we're going to get that special
00:24:39
presentation and he's going to be in Spider Man Brand new day.
00:24:42
So it's we're going to be lousy with Punisher stuff and.
00:24:47
What's to say that at the end of the sequence that the Punisher's
00:24:50
in, they're not going to show him getting like gravely injured
00:24:53
and that shows a reason why he's gone for a while?
00:24:57
Yeah, there could be a reason. That's true.
00:24:59
Yeah, I hadn't thought about that.
00:25:00
Yeah, so I mean, like they could just, you know, give us a reason
00:25:04
why, why Frank is missing for a little while or Frank
00:25:08
disappears, you know, and it has to do with like Secret Wars or
00:25:11
something like that. Yeah, absolutely.
00:25:15
Yeah, now all of this opens, you know, more doors for for deeper
00:25:19
daredevil Kingpin drama. Now a lot of people are
00:25:22
speculating that Matthew that, that Matthew Lillard coming in
00:25:26
the the the character that he might play.
00:25:28
Other people were saying he might play owl or bullet.
00:25:30
What do you what do you think about that?
00:25:32
I'm not I'm not as familiar with Owl or Bullet.
00:25:36
Who are they? They're they're they're not
00:25:40
really major villains in in the Daredevil universe.
00:25:48
It it's kind of out bullets, kind of like a gunslinger and
00:25:52
owl. Is oh OK.
00:25:54
Yeah, they're they're they're kind of like foils for King
00:25:57
Kingpin and kind of like they're they're they're they're like
00:26:02
anti vigilante guys that that kind of go up against Daredevil
00:26:08
in order to, you know, like on behalf of Kingpin sometimes
00:26:11
every now and then. So they're not like major
00:26:13
characters, but I mean, who's to say they can't be become bigger
00:26:17
characters because they've done, they've done that in the past
00:26:19
with like minor characters within Marvel and say, hey,
00:26:22
here's a bigger role that they play and they make them a much
00:26:24
more interesting character than they were in the comics.
00:26:28
Oh, OK. All right.
00:26:29
Yeah. I wouldn't mind either one of
00:26:31
those things then. I don't.
00:26:33
I'm, I, I do not. I haven't watched anything
00:26:36
Matthew Lillard's been in in years.
00:26:38
So the only thing I'm thinking is Scooby or the Scream killer
00:26:43
guy. That's, that's really it.
00:26:45
That's what most people know him from.
00:26:46
But I mean, like, you know, lately he's been in Five Nights
00:26:49
at Freddy's and everybody's all over him for that, you know, and
00:26:53
he's been in a couple of other things.
00:26:54
He's also coming back to scream. So that's also a big deal.
00:26:58
Well then, yeah, cool. Yeah, cool, cool, cool, cool,
00:27:02
cool. So that's that's it for Jay
00:27:04
Jonah for for all the the the news on Jay Jonah here Jonah's
00:27:10
bark has has us buzzing with rumors and revelations.
00:27:14
But now it's time to step back from The Newsroom chaos.
00:27:19
Let's break down the DCU cannon in watching the watchtower.
00:27:24
I'm ready for this because this is one of my favorite
00:27:26
transitions. It's.
00:27:28
Awesome. Get to see the watchtower come
00:27:32
across the screen. There I am in the watchtower.
00:27:35
Hello, I'm waving at myself. Wave at yourself even more
00:27:40
because now it's going away. All right.
00:27:44
So. Oh, sorry, wrong.
00:27:47
That's that's what I was trying to do.
00:27:50
Who wins in a fight, Jimmy Olsen or Gorilla Grodd?
00:27:56
I'll let you guys think about that one for a minute.
00:27:59
James Gunn clears the air on the rumor Jimmy Olsen DCU series
00:28:02
confirming the character's place in the new cinematic universe.
00:28:06
So Jimmy Olsen's Elevate Elevation signals Gun's intent
00:28:10
to spotlight supporting characters in mythic figures on
00:28:13
their own right. This could shape Olsen from
00:28:16
Comic Relief into a narrative anchor, echoing the Everyman
00:28:20
lens on Superman's world. Gun has clarified that the
00:28:24
project is not titled DC Crime, which a lot of people were
00:28:27
making speculations on. He really is just shutting down
00:28:30
speculation and reinforcing Olsen's unique identity within
00:28:34
the DCU. What are what are your again,
00:28:37
what are your thoughts on Jimmy Olsen taking a, a point in this
00:28:43
world where he is a like serious reporter.
00:28:46
You know what I mean? And not just kind of like the
00:28:49
the the boy sidekick with the camera.
00:28:52
I love this idea just for the fact that I really like Skyler.
00:28:57
He's such a good actor. And then also, Jimmy Olsen had
00:29:04
his own comic book. He's had his own comic book on
00:29:07
and off for years. So it's not like, you know, it's
00:29:12
not like keys, you know, this is new.
00:29:15
But I do like it. I think Jimmy Olsen can get into
00:29:18
some really interesting trouble. As we've seen.
00:29:22
He likes the ladies and he likes he likes getting into trouble.
00:29:28
So I do think that this is this could be a really interesting
00:29:31
thing as long as it's done right.
00:29:33
You know, that's that's the thing that I'm really worried
00:29:37
about. I just want it to be done
00:29:38
correctly. I want it to have that feel of
00:29:41
Jimmy Olsen being, you know, being the young guy and wanting
00:29:45
to really get in the thick of it.
00:29:47
And then he gets himself into a lot of trouble and has to get
00:29:49
himself out of it or has to get himself out of it with help from
00:29:54
his friends. So it'll be interesting to see.
00:29:58
Yeah, I'm definitely more excited about the idea, the
00:30:02
prospect of what this is because Jimmy Olsen has not had a
00:30:08
spotlight on any property on anything that's that's, that's
00:30:11
come up. You know, the different Superman
00:30:13
series that have been out there. Jimmy Olsen really hasn't been,
00:30:17
you know, predominant in any of it and, and prevalent, none of
00:30:20
all of it. I love the idea of us getting a
00:30:23
view into the greater DCU world through the lens of Jimmy Olsen.
00:30:30
And, you know, I, I, I don't think that where a lot of people
00:30:33
are like going like, oh, he's going to fight Gorilla Grodd.
00:30:35
He's going to fight. I don't think he's fighting
00:30:36
anybody. I think he's just coming across
00:30:38
these characters and you're, it's, it's almost going to be
00:30:41
like like Cloverfield where you're getting this perspective
00:30:45
from this reporter that is like, you know, on the ground when
00:30:50
Gorilla Grodd attacks, you know, Central City or something like
00:30:54
that. Or, you know, just like it's,
00:30:57
it's, I think it's just more him travelling, doing his work and
00:31:02
he happens to be in the area when something goes down.
00:31:05
And we get that perspective that, that on the ground
00:31:09
perspective. And like you know, from from
00:31:11
Jimmy Olsen, it makes the entire universe more relatable for
00:31:14
everybody that's watching. Do you think it's going to bring
00:31:18
more on the ground characters and like, maybe we'll get
00:31:24
Flash's girlfriend Iris West? Iris West, that would be dope
00:31:29
if, if we see more of like Iris in this or again, just all of
00:31:36
the different characters, like maybe we'll see Lana laying down
00:31:38
the line or something like that. Like there's, there's a lot of
00:31:40
characters that they could bring in that are within the
00:31:45
different, different DC properties that aren't
00:31:49
necessarily superheroes, but are characters that flesh out the
00:31:51
world. And, and I think that that is an
00:31:54
amazing idea. You know, like superhero
00:31:57
adjacent kind of character. I think that would be really
00:32:00
interesting if that's kind of how it, how it ended up like,
00:32:03
you know, had making Jimmy Olsen like the, hey, here's these
00:32:09
characters that aren't superheroes, but they're in that
00:32:13
superhero sphere and, and they help out 'cause there are a lot
00:32:16
of reporters in DC Comics like like that they're lousy with
00:32:22
Vicki Vale was a report like, you know, it's like, so you
00:32:25
could have a whole bunch of characters that are in the
00:32:30
reporter sphere that had that tell these stories and that and
00:32:35
Jimmy Olsen would be a great way to introduce all of them.
00:32:38
Yeah, I feel like I think it would be really cool to see
00:32:41
Jimmy Olsen and Vicki Vale teaming up in like, you know,
00:32:45
maybe an episode or two to cover a story in Gotham and we come
00:32:53
across a more minor character. Like I would love to see them,
00:32:57
like, you know, oh, they're reporting on the Ventriloquist
00:32:59
or something like that. Right.
00:33:02
Yeah, that would be cool. Or Toy Man or.
00:33:04
Yeah, exactly. You know, some of the some of
00:33:07
the more less known characters, but characters nonetheless that
00:33:14
again, flesh out that universe that, you know, you have a bunch
00:33:17
of psychopaths, you know, mental asylum escapees running around
00:33:21
Gotham and they're as reporters, they're reporting on it in the
00:33:25
news like that. I think that is a great idea.
00:33:28
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.
00:33:29
Since it's gorilla grad though, I'm wondering if STAR Labs isn't
00:33:33
going to be a main focus in it as well.
00:33:36
So we might get some STAR Labs people too.
00:33:39
Which yeah, I think all of that, it's just there's so many ways
00:33:42
that they can go with it. I think it's going to be a
00:33:44
really good, if it's done well, it's going to be a really good
00:33:47
show. Like they've tried to do non
00:33:50
superhero shows before and they haven't really worked out.
00:33:56
So I'm saying powerless. I'm saying.
00:34:01
Gossip, yeah, but I mean, like the way this works, the way that
00:34:05
they get this to work, and I think James Gunn has the
00:34:07
sensibilities for this kind of thing is they need to to to
00:34:13
stick to their guns and and put no, no pun intended on that.
00:34:18
But they need to stick to their guns and say, you know, if this
00:34:22
is reporters reporting on things in the universe, not to make it
00:34:27
a all of a sudden Jimmy Olsen is a superhero.
00:34:29
You know, that's kind of what they did with Gotham, You know
00:34:31
what I mean? We're like, Oh yeah, now, you
00:34:34
know, now you have basically Batman, but, you know, Gordon is
00:34:40
Batman for some reason, you know, that kind of thing.
00:34:42
Like, you know, that that doesn't happen until way later
00:34:45
on in the comics. Fun fact, Commissioner Gordon
00:34:48
was Batman for a little bit. If you guys don't know that.
00:34:52
I was Batman for like 15 minutes.
00:34:55
Yeah, but like, you know, that's the that's that's not the show
00:34:59
that anybody wants. Nobody wants this, you know,
00:35:01
hey, let's make up a bunch of things that have nothing to do
00:35:05
with the comics because we think this will be an interesting show
00:35:09
that is not related to anything that can that that would ever
00:35:12
happen in the comics. You know, like make it something
00:35:15
that even if it's something brand new, that has nothing to
00:35:18
do with anything that's in the comics, make it something that
00:35:20
would live in the comic world. So.
00:35:23
I like it. I think you're right.
00:35:26
All right, cool, so let's let's move on to this last story that
00:35:29
I have here. And, and Jen, I don't know if
00:35:32
you're super excited about this, but holy fucking rumors, Batman.
00:35:39
James Gunn surprising social media reply has fans speculating
00:35:45
that actor Tom Brittany may be the new Batman in the DCU.
00:35:50
Gunn broke his usual silence on fancasting posts by responding.
00:35:55
That guy is a great fucking actor.
00:35:59
OK, this, this really messes with people's heads.
00:36:03
Britney shift from Superman finalists to Batman speculation
00:36:07
highlights Gun's willingness to recycle strong contenders for
00:36:11
different roles. And I mean, we, we've known this
00:36:14
in the past. There have been plenty of
00:36:16
actors. I mean, Lex Luthor is an example
00:36:19
of someone who tried out as Superman and became Lex Luthor,
00:36:24
right? Guns.
00:36:25
Emphatic praise, rare for fan casting chatter suggests he's
00:36:29
planting hype seeds without confirming anything.
00:36:33
A deliberate social media strategy.
00:36:35
Jen, I need your thoughts on this because you know James Gunn
00:36:40
planting hype seeds better than anyone else that I know.
00:36:44
Well, yeah. OK, so if you're on YouTube, you
00:36:48
will see the picture of Tom Brittany.
00:36:52
And I have to say, with that picture, I, I I could see him
00:36:58
being Batman. And if he's already auditioned
00:37:00
for Gun, that gives a stronger chance.
00:37:03
Because James Gunn, as we all know, is he's got some ADHD in
00:37:08
there, probably undiagnosed, but I don't know.
00:37:11
And so if he gets something in his head, it's hard to get it
00:37:15
out of his head. So, so, yeah, I, I do think that
00:37:18
this could be a good idea, like this could be a good idea.
00:37:20
It's not the guy that I want, don't get me wrong.
00:37:23
And it's not the guy that Phil wants because apparently he's
00:37:27
going to play Venom, but or, and, and he's actually going to
00:37:33
play somebody else that we don't know about.
00:37:34
I think it's Orion, though. But yeah, so I I don't have a
00:37:37
problem with this. I love Grant Chester.
00:37:40
I love that TV show. I haven't watched the newer
00:37:43
episodes, so I actually haven't ever seen him do anything.
00:37:47
I think that's also a good idea because hardly anybody knows
00:37:50
about him. Yeah.
00:37:52
So I do think that it's a good idea.
00:37:55
I do think James Gunn saying something about it.
00:37:59
I think it's just that he's saying this guy is a great
00:38:01
fucking actor. I don't think it has anything to
00:38:04
do with whether or not he he has he's considering him for Batman
00:38:09
or not. He probably is, but I just think
00:38:11
somebody said that and he caught it and was like, oh, he's a
00:38:14
great fucking actor. And now he's like, oh shit, now
00:38:19
people are going to think he's Batman.
00:38:21
Right, right, right. I I don't.
00:38:24
Think this is that I think this is James Gunn being ADHD it.
00:38:28
Could be that too. I just pulled up other pictures
00:38:30
of him and there are pictures like this picture is fine and
00:38:33
whatnot, but there are other pictures where his jawline is a
00:38:36
lot more defined and and he's got that Batman jawline.
00:38:40
Also he's 6 foot 2. So I mean like he's kind of in
00:38:43
that range. The dude is kind of beefy or has
00:38:45
potential to be like kind of kind of big.
00:38:48
Like he looks like if he did like a solid six months to a
00:38:53
year of just bulk training, this dude could easily fit the size
00:38:59
of the Batman that I'm looking for.
00:39:02
Isn't that what David Cornswat did as well?
00:39:07
Like he beefed up, right? He he spent a lot of time doing
00:39:10
that so. David Cornswat put on a lot of
00:39:13
weight and, and he looks the part as much as everybody's
00:39:17
like, oh, he has a muscle suit. And it's like, well, no, he he
00:39:19
like posted a video of him going, no, it's not a muscle
00:39:22
suit here. My arms look at that.
00:39:24
And it's like, yo, that guy is actually like as big as he looks
00:39:28
and he's got the right height, you know.
00:39:29
So I mean, what do we determine? David Cornswood is 6 foot 5.
00:39:36
No, I think he's 63. 63 OK, And I was saying that, you know, he
00:39:41
needs to be about like, you know, Batman needs to be about
00:39:45
an inch or two in that height range.
00:39:47
Well, he's 6 foot 2, so he actually fits that range that I
00:39:51
keep talking about, right? Yeah.
00:39:54
He's got the jawline. He's he's pretty muscular.
00:39:56
I think if he is being I for Batman, I'm not our first.
00:40:00
Yeah, for Batman, I'm not against it at all.
00:40:03
I think he he looks like he can fit the part fairly well.
00:40:07
I agree. You know, I, I and I feel like
00:40:10
because neither one of us have really gone to bat for a, a
00:40:14
Batman, huh, Gone to bat. We have, both of us have I, I
00:40:19
think it's a good compromise. He's British, so I already like
00:40:22
him more and, and, and he's fairly unknown.
00:40:30
So I think that that those are both good things.
00:40:33
Those are both things that work in his favor.
00:40:35
We don't have a lot of expectations from him.
00:40:37
I think it's a great idea. Let's go Tom Brittany, I'm on
00:40:42
the Britney train. Or it's Britney bitch.
00:40:45
It's. Britney bitch, I'm also I'm also
00:40:48
on him so fans are also dissecting Britney's past roles
00:40:51
and like you mentioned, Grandchester greyhound to see if
00:40:54
his acting style fits them. The the mythic gravitas of
00:40:57
Batman, the common position Batman casting has a
00:41:01
generational shift with Britney embodying a younger, more
00:41:04
grounded version of The Dark Knight.
00:41:07
And like I said, I I looked at pictures of him.
00:41:09
I'm I'm looking at his height. I think he fits.
00:41:14
Yeah, and he's shorter than Superman because Batman's
00:41:17
shorter than Superman. And yes, we're going to have
00:41:19
this conversation again. Batman is an inch shorter than
00:41:24
Superman, and he should be actually a lot shorter than
00:41:28
Superman. He should be like 3 or 4 inches
00:41:30
shorter than Superman, because Superman is supposed to be
00:41:33
larger than life and bigger than everybody.
00:41:36
And look, you're already doing your little I ate a lemon face
00:41:40
and I'm not having it. Yep.
00:41:42
I mean, cause again, canonically he's only an inch shorter than
00:41:45
Superman. So I mean, that's, that's,
00:41:46
that's about. Right now when it first he was
00:41:49
like 511 when it when he first came out and he's always been
00:41:54
shorter than freaking Superman, so don't even get me started on
00:41:59
this. Yeah, and it's a different
00:42:00
monster in the absolute universe, cause in the absolute
00:42:02
universe Batman is is way bigger than Superman.
00:42:06
They're not doing the absolute universe I'm.
00:42:09
Just saying. I'm just saying.
00:42:11
I'm just saying. We're, we're, we're, we're,
00:42:14
we're not going to do this argument just for the sake of
00:42:16
time. So we'll argue on a off screen,
00:42:19
on another on, on like a, on like a, on a TikTok or
00:42:24
something. We'll, we'll do at a TikTok and
00:42:26
talk and we'll yell at each other over this.
00:42:30
Alright, sure thing. OK, so we've scanned the
00:42:34
Watchtower and locked in the Canon, but now it's time to zoom
00:42:38
out to the headlines. Ladies and gentlemen, where the
00:42:41
biggest stories across fandom and and entertainment break wide
00:42:46
open. Jen, it's your turn to take it
00:42:49
over with the headlines. Star Wars flat 1st.
00:43:01
It's Star Wars. We're getting our Zeb back,
00:43:03
baby. Jon Favreau teases a bigger role
00:43:07
for Zeb, Aurelius Aurelios Aurelios in The Mandalorian and
00:43:12
Grogu saying the fan favorite from Star Wars Rebels will
00:43:16
finally get to shine in live action.
00:43:20
This idea of fun though. Of Zeb messing with people
00:43:25
because that's what he does. I don't know.
00:43:28
Is it is Jon? Is Jon Favreau's idea of fun
00:43:32
like, is it going to be like putting him through the ringer?
00:43:35
Are we going to have to cry at the end of this?
00:43:37
I'm I'm afraid that we're going to lose Zeb by the end of this.
00:43:40
I hope we don't. I mean.
00:43:41
Give us. We've only had like very minor
00:43:46
glimpses of Zeb. Like we had him at the bar.
00:43:48
We had him and, and, and what was the season 2 of the
00:43:50
Mandalorian and, and kind of like, you know, different small
00:43:55
little pieces of Zeb. Obviously in the Mandalorian
00:43:59
trailer, you see him kicking ass.
00:44:01
So I'm very excited to see him kind of like be the Zeb from the
00:44:05
show, but in live action 'cause he, he, he's such a cool
00:44:10
character and to see like him doing the things that he's going
00:44:13
to do. So I'm, I'm, I'm excited for Zeb
00:44:16
getting a bigger role within not just the movie, but hopefully
00:44:19
like moving forward, which we're going to talk about here in a
00:44:22
second. I really want Zeb and Ezra to
00:44:27
reunite so I hope that happens. Yes, their friendship is so
00:44:30
good. Yeah, absolutely.
00:44:33
I just think it would be a shame if they don't at least reunite
00:44:36
for something. But hey, we got more Mando
00:44:39
incoming. Jon Favreau clarifies that The
00:44:42
Mandalorian season 4 will tell its own story, separate from the
00:44:47
upcoming The Mandalorian and Grogu movie.
00:44:50
So does that mean we should make?
00:44:52
Hours Mando again, very excited for this.
00:45:00
The thought for the longest time everybody thought that, oh,
00:45:03
they're finishing the series with a movie, but now knowing
00:45:06
that we're getting another season, that this movie is just
00:45:09
an adventure in between or that takes place in a different port,
00:45:14
like like time separate from the from the show itself.
00:45:19
I, I'm more excited about this. This gives me so much more to
00:45:21
look forward to. It's it was a the dumbest move
00:45:26
was saying we are going to get rid of the Mandalorian in favor
00:45:28
of a movie because the Mandalorian as a show is
00:45:33
literally what what gets people to sign up for Disney Plus.
00:45:39
It is. It is.
00:45:41
It's the thing that launched it. So I just think that that they
00:45:44
definitely should finish it on a small screen, I think.
00:45:48
And I mean, Star Wars itself is story based.
00:45:52
So it's this is this story in the Star Wars, but it's not the
00:45:57
only story in the Star Wars. And so these are just adventures
00:46:01
that that these characters are having.
00:46:03
So there's nothing that says that after this adventure is
00:46:06
over that there shouldn't be a continuation.
00:46:09
We don't know what's going to come next.
00:46:10
And it may, it may be less about Den Jarin and more about the
00:46:16
Mandalorians on Mandalore. So we don't know what Season 4
00:46:20
is going to bring. So I think it's kind of cool.
00:46:23
So, but let's move on. Let's go.
00:46:25
Because we got more Star Wars, We got another Star War going
00:46:29
on. That's right.
00:46:31
It's Ryan Gosling, and it's not the Project Hail Mary Ryan
00:46:35
Gosling, although that would be cool.
00:46:37
Are Disney and Lucasfilm on the same page?
00:46:41
Lucasfilm gave Sean Levy, the director of Star Wars
00:46:46
Starfighter, complete creative freedom, a rare mandate that
00:46:51
could reshape future projects and new project development.
00:46:58
So I so it will Bob Iger and Nix this one too, because he didn't
00:47:02
like that hump for Ben Solo. Are we sure he understands how
00:47:08
they get to that planet that's in the picture?
00:47:10
He better not, he, he better not mess with this or anything like
00:47:15
that, because this was one of those things where I, I, I was
00:47:20
not on board for this, for, for Starfighter.
00:47:22
But the more that comes out, the more we learn about it, the more
00:47:25
excited I get for it. And, and it's not just because,
00:47:29
you know, he, he's a great actor and, and I feel like he's going
00:47:33
to kill this role, but because it, it just kind of seems like
00:47:37
everything that we've all been wanting out of a Star Wars
00:47:41
story, You know, it is. I mean, yeah, they're they're
00:47:44
kind of alluding to it and it's going to be something Jedi
00:47:50
related. But, you know, the majority of
00:47:52
us are like, we don't want something Jedi related.
00:47:55
We want more things that are within the universe, more things
00:47:59
that are, you know, regular people fighting
00:48:02
authoritarianism, fighting the Empire.
00:48:04
So I again, I get more excited with this.
00:48:07
I do want it to be something that Shawn Levy gets pull
00:48:11
creative control over because the less hands that are in the
00:48:15
cookie jar, the better the project is going to be.
00:48:18
Exactly. And going back to the that MC,
00:48:21
the Black Panther story from Jay Jonah, it was like, yeah, I, I,
00:48:26
I think you're right. I think it, it's going to be
00:48:28
great. And yeah, I hope Bob Iger
00:48:29
doesn't. You know what?
00:48:30
Maybe they should not show him. Maybe show him something else,
00:48:34
Show him something that makes sense to him.
00:48:35
Give him like a little explainer so that he understands what's
00:48:38
going on before they show him. They're showing Bob Iger like a
00:48:41
different, different finalized pieces and whatnot.
00:48:45
They're just like, Oh yeah, here's an edit that Bob Iger
00:48:47
would like, and then here's the edit we're putting out there so
00:48:49
that everybody else will like it.
00:48:51
We're not. We're not repeating Emperor
00:48:53
Palpatine all of a sudden showing up in the universe
00:48:57
again. Yeah, exactly.
00:48:59
Exactly. So, but so let's move.
00:49:02
Let's let's go ahead and move to the next one.
00:49:04
But this is rounding out our Star Wars block.
00:49:07
And will they or won't they? News A new report confirms Ryan
00:49:12
Johnson's planned Star Wars trilogy is effectively dead,
00:49:17
closing the book on years of speculation.
00:49:20
So where do we lean on this? Like, what do we think?
00:49:23
Do we think this is a good thing?
00:49:24
Do you think it's a bad thing? Do we like what Ryan did?
00:49:28
Do we just want him to continue making more Knives Out?
00:49:31
What? What is it that we?
00:49:34
Like I, I feel like Ryan Johnson, like I, I don't, I
00:49:39
don't know, I, I see what he tried to do with what was the
00:49:43
last Jedi that he did all right. I see what he tried to do with
00:49:46
the last Jedi. The the, the problem is, is
00:49:50
because he wanted so much to put his own stamp on Star Wars, he
00:49:55
just ruined the story and made the sequels effectively
00:50:02
something that that that so many people hate.
00:50:05
Because as much as everybody like that movie for, for its
00:50:08
reasons, it messed with the story that was there.
00:50:11
And it's like, you know, there was there, there was a Bible,
00:50:15
there was a story that was meant to be told that they were just
00:50:18
like, we're just going to throw that out the window and destroy
00:50:20
everything. And now we have to fix it.
00:50:22
Rian Johnson directly is the reason that we we got Palpatine
00:50:27
in the world because I was like, I want to fix this my way.
00:50:30
We're putting Palpatine in the movie.
00:50:32
Had Rian Johnson not done that, we wouldn't have Palpatine.
00:50:35
So it it again, I yeah, I I have my issues.
00:50:39
We also got some of the most badass scenes in Star Wars out
00:50:42
of that movie because again, for as much as people hated Admiral
00:50:47
Holdo, she went out like a fucking G like nobody, nobody
00:50:52
has a cooler, you know, let me destroy the Empire moment than
00:50:57
Admiral Holdo. So, you know, kudos to her for
00:51:01
being a badass. But you know, in in the end, I,
00:51:07
I love Ryan Johnson as a director.
00:51:09
I think he is a good writer. I think he does well on
00:51:13
properties that are not attached to someone else's story.
00:51:17
I don't think that he should have had a mainline story.
00:51:20
I think he if had he gotten his own trilogy and made his own
00:51:24
film with its own storyline, I think that would have been fine.
00:51:27
But this also tells me that if they are dropping Ryan Johnson's
00:51:33
trilogy, that means that Iger didn't have any faith in it,
00:51:36
which gives me more reason to believe it was probably good.
00:51:40
Yeah, right, because he and he hates good things, right?
00:51:43
But all right, well, let's stay in the stars.
00:51:46
But we're going to go to a gate. Oh.
00:51:50
That's right, new Stargate is coming.
00:51:53
Better catch up. Oh, wait a minute.
00:51:58
Amazon has ordered a new Stargate series from Martin and
00:52:03
Chiro, making the franchises return with a fresh or marking
00:52:08
the franchises return with a fresh creative vision.
00:52:11
So have you seen the previous Stargate shows?
00:52:15
So I know, I know graveyard is, is is a massive Stargate fan and
00:52:21
he is like watched all the shows and everything on there.
00:52:24
So this is kind of probably probably be more up his alley.
00:52:30
I, I, I, I love the movie. The movie was, you know, one of
00:52:35
my in in my childhood was one of my favorite ones.
00:52:38
I watched a good portion of SG-1, but I didn't, I didn't
00:52:43
really get into, you know, Atlantis and all the other
00:52:47
stories series that they did. You know, I would have to go and
00:52:52
like rewatch everything to kind of see where it went and if
00:52:55
graveyard loves it, you know, half of it is going to be
00:52:57
terrible. So.
00:53:00
Well, I actually loved the the original, so I watched the
00:53:04
original movie. But The funny thing is I watched
00:53:06
the original movie after I started watching the series.
00:53:09
So I was like, well I got to see this movie that came out and so
00:53:12
I start I watched it and then and I watched the whole series.
00:53:16
I watched like all ten seasons of the first Stargate and I was
00:53:19
a Stargate Atlantis fan, but that third one, I watched 2
00:53:25
episodes and I was like, this is the most boring stuff that I
00:53:28
have ever seen. So I did not watch that.
00:53:31
But no, I, yeah, I'm a huge Stargate fan.
00:53:33
I've I've always loved Stargate. So I'm really excited about
00:53:37
this. I think it's going to be fun and
00:53:39
I can't wait to see what they're going to do.
00:53:41
And Martin Jarrow was the original guy, like he was part
00:53:44
of the original TV series. So I think it's going to be
00:53:47
great. And hopefully it'll be in Canada
00:53:49
again, because that's where they filmed the the other ones.
00:53:52
And we got Jason Momoa out of that People, Mommy.
00:53:55
True, Jason Momoa did come out of that.
00:53:58
What if in this they found a way to bring back.
00:54:07
Oh, God, all of a sudden I'm forgetting his name.
00:54:13
Hold on. I've got I've got this.
00:54:15
I got to pull it up here. Are you looking it up?
00:54:18
Yeah. If What if they found a way to
00:54:20
bring back Kurt Russell's character?
00:54:22
Oh. That'd be cool.
00:54:23
That'd be. Cool and and now I'd.
00:54:25
Like to go ahead? I was just saying now we have,
00:54:29
you know, especially because Kurt Russell's been doing more
00:54:32
of these bigger series. If they do this as like, you
00:54:35
know, a 10 episode run rather than you know how it used to be
00:54:39
like sci-fi with a 40 episode run.
00:54:41
You do a 10 episode run on Amazon, higher budget than than
00:54:45
what it had, and you do Kurt Russell coming back and then
00:54:52
finding a way to bring back Kurt Russell's character.
00:54:54
And, you know, because I, I, I feel like Kurt Russell would do
00:54:57
it. Or just find like he's
00:55:00
somewhere, like they find him somewhere and that's how they
00:55:04
bring it back. Like that's what that's what
00:55:05
they were doing. It's like a different a
00:55:08
different crew that's actually got a signal from his character
00:55:12
and they're going to see it. So we might see some of the old
00:55:15
guy, like the older, like the OG series people, but they're
00:55:22
looking for the him because like he has some information.
00:55:26
I think that would be great. It would be a great way to tie
00:55:28
it all together. But.
00:55:29
I don't. Know what if you have Wyatt
00:55:31
Russell come and play like the younger version of him again,
00:55:34
Like he hasn't aged at all wherever he went.
00:55:39
That would be awesome, although it would be cooler if Wyatt
00:55:43
Russell was half human and half gold and then he's then he's got
00:55:51
some sort of weird ass powers because at the end they all kind
00:55:54
of have weird ass powers. So I'd like to see something
00:55:56
like that. That would be a really good
00:55:58
like, oh, what do you want to say?
00:56:01
Like a Alice in Wonderland type thing where he bring him back
00:56:06
because because Kurt Russell's character dies and he has to
00:56:09
come back because that was his dad's dying wish.
00:56:12
And so then that could be OK. We're getting a little bit into
00:56:14
the weeds on this, so we're going to move on.
00:56:16
Yeah, we'll make another video about this.
00:56:19
Yeah, more to come. Well, I'm sure we'll have more.
00:56:21
So, so yeah. So next we've got a little UK
00:56:29
panic, I guess, and how to make even bigger news.
00:56:36
The animated film K Pop Demon Hunters has ignited controversy
00:56:40
after AUK School banned its songs, fueling a mini Satanic
00:56:45
panic. So is this overblown or should
00:56:48
this be a real concern? I wonder.
00:56:51
So my wonder is why they banned it, You know, if it's like they
00:56:55
banned it because it's demons or something like that, or they
00:56:59
banned it just because the teachers were annoyed by the
00:57:01
music. Right.
00:57:03
It was like, it's like frozen all over again.
00:57:05
They're like, if I have to hear these songs one more time, I am
00:57:10
going to lose my shit. Yeah, it's just like stuffy
00:57:13
it's, it's just like stuffy British people.
00:57:15
And they're just like, no, we're not playing this this God awful
00:57:19
music, even though the music is amazing.
00:57:21
But I mean, like, you know, against stuffy British people
00:57:22
and they're just like, no, we're not playing this music.
00:57:25
Music. This music is just like, no,
00:57:26
we're going to we're going to say because it's Demon Hunters
00:57:28
that they're that they're promoting demonic XYZ.
00:57:33
And it's like, well, if you would just promote the Han moon,
00:57:36
you'd be OK. There you go.
00:57:40
That's it. But here's the thing, a lot of
00:57:44
like Korean, like Asian cultures they have instead of like gods
00:57:49
being like good or bad, they're all just they all call them like
00:57:52
demons and gens and different things like that.
00:57:55
So by them being demon heart, that's just their job.
00:57:59
That's their calling. It's not like it's, you know, I
00:58:02
mean, did they? Well, they probably would have.
00:58:05
I was going to say, you know, would they have done that to
00:58:08
Buffy the Vampire Slayer? She's a Vampire Slayer.
00:58:10
She fought demons all the time. Nobody had a problem with it.
00:58:13
They're like, go Buffy. I think it really is just
00:58:15
overblown. I think so too.
00:58:18
All right, so let's move from K Pop to some sad news.
00:58:25
A little sad. Sad.
00:58:28
He's sad. At least it's sad for Zack
00:58:30
Snyder. Oh no, Zack keeps getting bad
00:58:32
news. Netflix has reportedly canceled
00:58:35
Twilight of the Gods after it's season 1 cliffhanger, leaving
00:58:40
fans without a resolution. Hey, it's that plot twist that
00:58:46
we were talking about people not getting over earlier in the
00:58:48
show. So did you watch the first
00:58:51
season of this? I, I I did not and it's it's
00:58:55
not. I didn't either.
00:58:57
Maybe we see the problem. Well, I mean, again, it's not
00:58:59
for lack of wanting to see it, it's because there's so much
00:59:02
that's out there. It gets really hard to choose
00:59:05
what do I need to watch? What do I not need to watch?
00:59:08
And then on top of that, like covering everything else that we
00:59:10
do and working and everything like that, it gets, it's really
00:59:13
hard to like start new shows. Plus I my ADHD has this whole
00:59:17
fear of starting a new thing so. Yeah, I, I really, I, I, I
00:59:26
didn't watch it. I'm, I'm not, I don't know.
00:59:29
I just feel like this is going to be one of those things where
00:59:31
we're going to get some weird concept art, like pictures from
00:59:35
Zack Snyder on X or something. Like he's going to be he's going
00:59:38
to get on Instagram. We're just going to see tears in
00:59:40
his eyes and he's just going to show us a picture of of
00:59:43
something from Twilight to the gods.
00:59:45
I feel like that's what's going to happen so.
00:59:46
It's, it's going to be exactly what's happening with, with
00:59:49
Superman where everybody's all upset because he keeps dropping,
00:59:53
you know, set photos and stuff like that from Superman.
00:59:55
So. I feel I, I want to let, I just
00:59:59
want to make sure Zack's OK. I hope you checked on Zack
01:00:02
Snyder. Does anybody know Zack Snyder's
01:00:03
OK? Yeah, I, I hope he's OK, Zack,
01:00:07
we know you watch. And that's why Phil did what he
01:00:10
just did. He he, he really, really like
01:00:14
tailored that to you specifically.
01:00:17
Check. Check in with Zack Snyder.
01:00:19
Somebody check in with Zack Snyder, see if he's OK.
01:00:22
All right, from a cancellation of weirdness to another
01:00:29
cancellation of weirdness, Disney apparently doesn't smell
01:00:34
what The Rock is cooking. Dwayne Johnson says Disney is
01:00:37
unsure about moving forward with a Jungle Cruise sequel, leaving
01:00:42
the project adrift. No sequel cruise for Dwayne or
01:00:47
Emily. Did did you watch that film?
01:00:53
No. I did not.
01:00:56
It's actually, it wasn't bad. It wasn't bad.
01:00:58
It was it was fun. It was an interesting film
01:01:03
because the whole thing was Disney was trying to create a
01:01:08
like a shared Disney ride universe, right?
01:01:14
So like all the movies that they have that are based on rides,
01:01:17
they were trying to create like a shared universe.
01:01:20
I don't know if you know the whole thing about like they
01:01:22
added in all the rides at Disney, they added in this whole
01:01:26
Society of adventures and explorers thing.
01:01:31
No, I didn't know that, but I, I, I assumed, like, I assumed
01:01:34
that they would like they have to make these rides relevant
01:01:36
again because they were back then, nobody had gone to the
01:01:40
jungle like back when they first had the jungle ride, nobody had
01:01:43
gone there and the animatronic animals were so cool and
01:01:47
everybody loved them. And it was, and you know, I, I,
01:01:50
I ride the Jungle Cruise when I go to Disneyland.
01:01:52
I get it, I understand. But you know why I ride it?
01:01:55
Because I'm tired of walking. I'm tired of walking and I want
01:01:58
to, I want to cool down. That is why I ride that, that
01:02:01
Jungle Cruise. That's why I do.
01:02:03
It's a small world after all. Once you've done it's a small
01:02:06
world after all, you understand exactly what's going to happen.
01:02:11
So it's cool in there. You get out of the sun.
01:02:15
Matterhorn, well, Matterhorn's fun, but it's also very cool up
01:02:19
there. So sometimes you ride the rides
01:02:22
at Disneyland because you're overheated and you need a break.
01:02:26
I'm just saying that not all of them need to be made into
01:02:30
movies. You're not wrong, you're not
01:02:31
wrong. But again, like, you know, what
01:02:32
they were doing was creating like a shared universe that
01:02:35
would tie into the rides so that you could go experience the
01:02:38
rides at Disneyland. But then they have like this
01:02:41
whole tie in with the movies and everything.
01:02:44
It was it was it was a cool concept, right?
01:02:47
It just, you know, they're not fully executing that and it
01:02:51
feels like they're slowing down with all of that and again,
01:02:55
focusing on their properties that are successful.
01:03:01
The the things that we complained about last week right
01:03:03
where you know, hey, we're taking all the things that we
01:03:05
know of made a bunch of money and we're just going to focus on
01:03:07
making sequels for those so. Yeah, no, I get it.
01:03:11
I get it. I absolutely get it.
01:03:13
I I just not everything needs to be made into a movie.
01:03:18
Bob Iger or Disney. You know what?
01:03:22
Maybe try something new, K Pop Demon Hunters, everybody thought
01:03:27
that was going to fail and look at it now.
01:03:29
Look at it now. That's all I'm saying and it's
01:03:32
brand new. It's brand new.
01:03:35
So whatever, you know, stop trying to make lightning in a
01:03:40
bottle happen. It just happens.
01:03:43
OK, I'm going to get on a soapbox.
01:03:45
I'm not going to do that. And, and I'm not really looking
01:03:48
forward to this next story because anyway, let's go.
01:03:55
Who's the real villain in Avatar?
01:03:57
It's James Cameron. All right?
01:04:00
James Cameron teases that Kwarich may find redemption in
01:04:05
Avatar Fire and Ash, expanding the saga's moral complexity.
01:04:09
But does Kwarich deserve redemption?
01:04:13
I'm going to be honest, I don't know who kwarich is, mainly
01:04:16
because. I don't either.
01:04:17
Yeah, I didn't watch the second movie.
01:04:19
I still haven't watched the second movie.
01:04:21
I actually did enjoy the first movie.
01:04:24
I just, it's a 3 hour movie. It's hard to sit like sit there
01:04:27
and watch it when again, there's so many other things that are
01:04:31
out there that that pique my interest.
01:04:35
And my first thought isn't I haven't seen Avatar 2 yet.
01:04:38
Let me go watch this like it. I'm more like, hey, weapons is
01:04:41
on, he's on the he's on HBO or you know, sinners is on HBO and
01:04:47
these are like some of the biggest movies of the year.
01:04:49
So I mean, like I I definitely need to go watch this before I
01:04:54
go see the other one, but I'm going to go see the other one
01:04:57
specifically because the rumor is that the trailer for for
01:05:03
doomsday is going to be in front of this movie.
01:05:06
So I'm like, it might be that I'm.
01:05:08
Not watching. I will not go and watch this
01:05:11
movie. I know that that trailer will be
01:05:14
on YouTube pretty quickly after, so I'm not watching it and if it
01:05:22
doesn't, Oh well, I'll see it sometime because I'm not
01:05:25
watching this movie. I didn't watch the second one.
01:05:28
I was done after the first one. Avatar is really pretty
01:05:34
graphics, but it is the story is not solid and I'm sorry the
01:05:40
James Cameron has been doing this after Titanic.
01:05:43
He just thought I can just make whatever I want and people will
01:05:46
watch it. No, no.
01:05:49
Well, it's a story that's it's a story that's already been told
01:05:52
twice in other movies, right? It was the last Samurai was the
01:05:55
same exact story. You know, the what was the
01:06:00
Dances with Wolves was the exact same story.
01:06:03
So I mean, you're, you're, you're telling a story that's
01:06:06
already been told. But again, don't know if you
01:06:10
know, there's differences in expansion in the second movie.
01:06:14
A lot of people talk about how pretty it is and how how good
01:06:16
the story was and everything like that and I mean this seems
01:06:20
like there's a lot of epicness to it.
01:06:22
Aside from the weird crab dance that was in the trailer 'cause
01:06:26
I'm like, you guys are all just like doing a crab dance and
01:06:30
robotic crabs. That's.
01:06:33
Yeah, I don't. I don't know.
01:06:35
I don't know. Not a James Cameron fan here.
01:06:38
Yeah. But yeah, we can.
01:06:39
We can probably move on on this one.
01:06:42
Oh yeah, 'cause this is something I do want to talk.
01:06:45
About Yeah, I already know this is something that you are the
01:06:48
most excited out of anybody on our team.
01:06:51
Yes, she's getting the Scooby gang back together.
01:06:57
Chloe's out confirms the new Buffy the Vampire Slayer series
01:07:01
will be a true sequel with original characters returning.
01:07:07
I'm thinking we may see vampire influencers.
01:07:11
That makes all of the sense. There's going to.
01:07:16
Be a vampire call that like like starts around Spike or something
01:07:21
and we're going to have vampire influencers and they're going to
01:07:23
be like, hi, I'm a vampire influencer.
01:07:27
Let me tell you about this O negative blood.
01:07:30
It is the best blood that you can get.
01:07:33
Like I mean, it's going to be something like that and I love
01:07:35
it because that's what they need to do.
01:07:37
That's what that was Buffy's bread and butter was having that
01:07:43
niche of what's in right now, having that Buffy speak.
01:07:48
I mean, so I'm, I really want this to happen.
01:07:52
And I do think Chloe Zhao is the is the right person to do it.
01:07:57
So yeah, what do you think? I do like Chloe Zhao's
01:08:01
sensibilities. I, I think that she is a really
01:08:05
good director, very underrated for the work that she's done,
01:08:08
even though she's basically won Oscars for the things that she's
01:08:11
done. But I mean, she's not like, it's
01:08:13
not like she's a household name. And I feel like that's something
01:08:15
that her name recognition definitely needs more than she
01:08:21
has because she's a really good director, very, very artistic
01:08:26
eye for the things that she does.
01:08:28
She has the, the work, her work speaks for itself.
01:08:31
But I mean going to. Solid vision.
01:08:35
Right, right, right. I love the idea of it being like
01:08:38
a true sequel that we're actually going to be getting
01:08:40
original characters and we're going to be getting kind of the
01:08:44
the continuation of what's happened with all these
01:08:47
characters. Especially like, you know,
01:08:49
knowing that, you know, we're going to see what happened with
01:08:52
Buffy and kind of like, you know, her passing the torch and
01:08:55
everything like that. I, I'm, I'm very excited for
01:08:57
this. Yeah, yeah, I, I could.
01:09:00
I absolutely think it's going to be fun.
01:09:02
It's going to be fun. I'll be on the ride until it's
01:09:05
over. That's I, I will.
01:09:07
That's just how it's going, right?
01:09:09
There's something else that I think is going to make Phil
01:09:13
really excited and put him in the driver's.
01:09:15
Seat Oh, I'm very excited for this.
01:09:18
In Can it Get Bloodier news, Peacock has greenlit Twisted
01:09:23
Metal season 3 with a writer from The Boys set as showrunner.
01:09:30
So what do you think that means for the show?
01:09:31
Are we going to get exploding penises in the show now?
01:09:34
We might, I mean, they, it's not like we're that far off with
01:09:38
this show, right? I mean there's a lot of gore in
01:09:40
this show. There's a lot of weirdness and
01:09:44
and things that happen in this show.
01:09:47
I I the only thing I hope is that they continue with the the
01:09:51
route that they're going in kind of continuing with with
01:09:55
retelling the story that's on from the games, but in a more
01:09:59
modern take on it. Again, I love the route that
01:10:03
they're going with on this me and Frank.
01:10:05
I forced Frank to watch this and Frank is absolutely on board for
01:10:08
this show now. So I mean, like that says a lot
01:10:10
when I can get Frank from geek freaks to watch something that
01:10:14
he didn't want to watch and is like, no, I'm in this.
01:10:16
This show is really good, you know, or at least it's really
01:10:19
fun. I can't say it's like it's super
01:10:22
good. It's one of those shows that you
01:10:24
know you have to suspend your disbelief for a lot of the
01:10:27
things that happened in this show, but it's a fun show
01:10:30
nonetheless. That's cool.
01:10:32
Yeah. I, I mean, I'm glad that I still
01:10:34
haven't seen it yet. I do need to see it.
01:10:36
Yes, I know. Yes, I know Kripke likes it.
01:10:40
I don't think it's Eric Kripke that's doing it.
01:10:42
It's just one of the writers. So who knows who it is.
01:10:44
But I, you know, I expect there to be some sort of weird clown
01:10:48
orgy and A and some exploding penises.
01:10:53
That's, I feel like that's going to, but you know where there's
01:10:56
not going to be exploding penises.
01:10:59
Oh, definitely not. Definitely not in this next
01:11:02
story. I cannot believe I used
01:11:05
exploding penises as a transition, but OK.
01:11:07
And if you if you do it the way that James said it, it's
01:11:09
penises. Penises.
01:11:12
Penises penis. Penis No No.
01:11:16
One goes Gundam style Noah Centennial Centennial is
01:11:25
circling the lead role in a live action Gundam film which will
01:11:30
explore the One Year War storyline.
01:11:34
So how long will the One Year War last?
01:11:37
They're they're I. Give it three seasons.
01:11:39
I was going to say, they're going to make that last over the
01:11:41
course of like multiple seasons. No Centennial.
01:11:47
He, he, he's getting all kinds of love right now because
01:11:51
they're saying, we talked about this last week, they're already
01:11:54
saying that Masters of the Universe is perfection.
01:11:58
Everybody's talking about how good Masters of the Universe is.
01:12:02
So if if he's getting that much praise as Prince Adam, I can't
01:12:07
wait to see what he. Does he's not Prince Adam?
01:12:09
Isn't he Prince Adam? No, that was that.
01:12:12
That's Nicholas something. He actually, he auditioned for
01:12:16
it, but he didn't get it. I don't know why I thought that
01:12:20
he was the one that was playing Prince Adam.
01:12:22
No, it's Nicholas. I can't even hear that.
01:12:26
OK, So what do I know him from then?
01:12:28
Let's let's find out here. He's a very handsome man.
01:12:32
Oh, he's from the recruit. He's a very handsome man.
01:12:37
He's a very handsome man. I didn't say that.
01:12:40
I did not say that first. That was, that was Mr. Young
01:12:46
Phil over here. So he's originally from like
01:12:49
Disney shows. He was like on a whole bunch of
01:12:50
Disney shows. Who is he in Street Fighter in
01:12:54
the new Street Fighter movie? Oh, he, yeah, he is somebody in
01:12:58
the new Street Fighter. I can't remember who he is
01:12:59
though. Oh, he's playing Ken.
01:13:02
That's right. That's right.
01:13:04
He's playing Ken. I that's right.
01:13:06
I I pulled up a picture of Ken and I was like, dude, he looks
01:13:09
100% like the dude. Like he looks like Ken from the
01:13:12
games. He's so ripped right now.
01:13:15
Oh my God. OK, yeah, no, when I say he's a
01:13:17
hot guy. Even more so now after realizing
01:13:21
who he is. Wow.
01:13:25
I am a sis straight man. I am a SIS straight man.
01:13:30
I know, but I think we should leave it there.
01:13:32
Let's let's move on to the streaming block.
01:13:34
All right, let's let's, let's, let's do it.
01:13:36
Let's get into that. Record set from human made
01:13:41
series. How's it call that?
01:13:44
Do you guys get it? Never mind the drama series
01:13:48
Pluribus has set a record for the biggest premiere in Apple TV
01:13:52
Plus history. And of course we'll never know
01:13:56
how much they made or anything like that or see any commercials
01:13:59
for it because Apple doesn't do that for some reason.
01:14:02
So are you binging this series or watching week to week?
01:14:05
I haven't started watching it and everybody's talking about
01:14:07
how good it is. I, I, I feel really dumb that I
01:14:11
haven't started watching this. I feel like this is going to be
01:14:13
like alien Earth all over again, where like I regretted not
01:14:16
watching it as it was happening, right?
01:14:21
I probably should. I probably should like binge and
01:14:23
catch up honestly. I think it's only on like
01:14:27
episode 2 or 3 now. So it's not like it you have to
01:14:30
really or that we, I have to finish watching Slow Horses and
01:14:35
then I'm going to watch Pluribus.
01:14:37
I have to do it that way because I'm on season 5 of Slow Horses.
01:14:41
I need to find out what's going on.
01:14:43
I've been ducking Slow Horses shit for I don't know how long.
01:14:46
I'm going to lose my mind if I don't watch that series.
01:14:50
But I do want to see Pluribus, so now James says it's should be
01:14:55
a binge watch. It's a bit slow.
01:14:57
OK. I mean, I'm, I'm hearing
01:14:59
everybody. You are a little low by the way,
01:15:01
I can I? Is that better?
01:15:05
It is better. OK dude, how slow are your
01:15:09
horses? Finish it already.
01:15:11
Finish it already. Yeah, but I, I.
01:15:13
Haven't been watching I we have basketball and sumo.
01:15:18
Sumo is over. I have time now to watch stuff.
01:15:21
But I, I, I'm a, I'm a fan of everything that the creators of
01:15:26
Pluribus have done. So I don't see it being
01:15:28
something that I wouldn't, I wouldn't enjoy.
01:15:30
You know what I mean? Yeah, absolutely.
01:15:33
Well, I hear, I hear really good things about it too, and not
01:15:35
just from James. I hear good things from people.
01:15:40
But you know what else I heard? Uh huh.
01:15:44
You want to know I do in more Westeros, but no Winds of Winter
01:15:49
update news in HBO has. Renewed Queen of and Jen is the
01:15:55
Queen of Transitions news. I am HBO has renewed House of
01:16:01
the Dragon for Season 4 and A Night of the Seven Kingdoms for
01:16:04
Season 2, securing more games of games, more Games of Thrones,
01:16:09
more Game of Thrones stories. How do you feel about these
01:16:15
renewals? Come on.
01:16:17
So House of the Dragon makes sense, right?
01:16:19
Because like, we already know it's a series that everybody
01:16:22
loves. Are they basing giving Knight of
01:16:27
the Seven Kingdoms a second season on, Hey, we know how well
01:16:33
this does with our other two shows within Westeros.
01:16:36
So we're going to assume that people are going to love this
01:16:39
show and we're going to put a Season 2 up automatically.
01:16:41
Like I, I, I've never been a fan of renewing a season before the
01:16:46
first season comes out or renewing a show before the 1st
01:16:49
show comes out again. And, and I'm not going to beat
01:16:52
this dead horse as much as I'm going to beat the dead horse
01:16:54
right now. But Halo is a good example of do
01:16:59
not green light a season 2 before season 1 comes out.
01:17:05
That's true, that's true. But like the from what I
01:17:09
understand, the Knight of the seven Kingdoms is actually the
01:17:15
closest to the book adaptations. And like the creator was like,
01:17:20
no, he wanted to do that for George and, and there are three
01:17:24
books that are completed so they can do three seasons.
01:17:29
So I'm just like, all right, cool.
01:17:32
I I'm fine with that. But you don't do any other
01:17:34
seasons. If you don't have a book for it,
01:17:36
don't do the season. Do not.
01:17:40
So, James, listen Halo. All right, that is it for
01:17:50
streaming and now we are on the adaptations block, which I guess
01:17:54
the Seven Kingdoms could also be considered the and House of the
01:17:57
Dragon. Well, most everything that we
01:17:59
talk about, anyway. Yeah, I've got thoughts on all
01:18:01
three of these last stories. So it's.
01:18:05
More video game adaptations Who am I?
01:18:08
Series from Noah Hawley and Rob Mcelhaney adapting the hit video
01:18:12
game franchise. Will this be a Halo or a Fallout
01:18:16
type of show? So my thoughts on this right and
01:18:20
and the two things. I didn't realize until we've
01:18:22
seen this right here. I, I'm a little more receptive
01:18:26
to this knowing that Noah Hawley and Rob Mcelhaney are going to
01:18:29
be involved in this. I know Rob Mcelhaney is a
01:18:31
massive fan of the game franchise and usually when he's
01:18:34
a fan of stuff of stuff, he's really careful about making sure
01:18:38
it's it's good. Noah Hawley, that man I, I have
01:18:44
a lot of faith in in the work that he does.
01:18:46
He's really good at what he does.
01:18:48
But Far Cry is one of those series, game series #1 it's an
01:18:55
anthology series. So it's not a, there's no
01:18:59
cohesive story, right? There is no, hey, here's the
01:19:04
story that we're telling and you need to do this.
01:19:06
Every game has a different story and and the way that they tell
01:19:10
the story it is it is very it is they're usually very dark.
01:19:21
They don't have happy endings. And I mean give it like if if
01:19:28
you if you take God American Horror Story and you mix that in
01:19:38
with Fargo and you tell this story where by the end of the
01:19:48
season it's going to go wrong. Like you already know.
01:19:51
Obviously people who don't know the game franchise are going to
01:19:54
expect that the main character is going to live.
01:19:55
But basically by the end of the series, the character that you
01:19:59
have grown to love dies in the last episode.
01:20:03
Spoilers then I will be OK with this series because there's if
01:20:10
if they try to do like a whole continuation on something or.
01:20:15
Same deal like say they take one of the games and they adapt the
01:20:18
game because it like like Fallout, it's one of those
01:20:23
things where your actions give you a different outcome of the
01:20:26
for the game. But if you do something where
01:20:28
OK, we're going to take for instance, the picture that we're
01:20:31
looking at right now is from Fallout 3.
01:20:34
You take Fallout 3 and then you expand on that story or say you
01:20:38
tell the story of the main villain of of that of that game
01:20:46
and how he became the warlord he becomes.
01:20:49
I might be OK if it is like Fallout, it is something that is
01:20:52
an expansion of the story rather than trying to retell the story.
01:20:57
I've never played the game so I have no opinion on this.
01:21:00
So that's Phil's take. Everybody.
01:21:02
Yeah, I my, my, my take on this is.
01:21:06
I'm, I'm not, I'm going to have, I'm going to go in with, I'm
01:21:10
going to go in with low expectations because I would
01:21:15
rather them blow me away and be like, no, this was everything I
01:21:18
wanted it to be. Then go in expecting high,
01:21:22
having high expectations and expecting it to be something.
01:21:25
And then it just tanks. And I'm extremely disappointed
01:21:29
by it. You know what I mean?
01:21:31
Yeah. No, I do.
01:21:33
I also have I have some sad news.
01:21:35
For you. Oh God, yeah, this is this
01:21:38
again. I have thoughts on this.
01:21:41
I know, I know. That's why.
01:21:43
That's why I left it. Till the so I, you know, I, I, I
01:21:48
expect I expected something because I knew like, 'cause, you
01:21:52
know, James can say, oh, this is going to tie directly into man
01:21:55
of tomorrow and I think it does. I don't think it took anything
01:21:59
away from the story that came before it.
01:22:02
And I really feel I, I felt like this was a very, it was almost a
01:22:07
parody of the genre. Of OK, here's the action.
01:22:11
Thing and now we're all good it's great montage after montage
01:22:15
after he said he doesn't really like the montage.
01:22:18
He thinks it's kind of hacky and so I took it as the comic book
01:22:22
panels, like where you see people putting stuff in there
01:22:25
of, you know, not really any talking or anything.
01:22:28
And they're putting stuff in their offices and they're
01:22:30
getting back to, I mean, the New Teen Titans, they did it all the
01:22:33
time. They would come back to the
01:22:35
their little tea headquarters and they all go to their rooms
01:22:38
and have a little sleep or shag or whatever.
01:22:41
I mean, depending on who they were.
01:22:43
But I didn't see anything wrong with it.
01:22:45
If you're Starfire, if you're Starfire and and Dick Grayson,
01:22:49
then. Yes, yeah, but your your name is
01:22:51
literally Dick. Like, come on.
01:22:54
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Young Phil, what did you?
01:22:57
Think of Season 2. As a whole.
01:22:59
And. Then how the Season 2 wrapped.
01:23:02
I love the season as a whole. There were a lot of things that
01:23:04
I was able to predict. Pretty early.
01:23:07
I mean, we we were all talking about Earth X.
01:23:10
My cameo that I wanted why? I kind of almost was like
01:23:14
waiting for Overman to show up and have somebody else play
01:23:17
like, you know, Nazi Superman. But like, you know, it didn't
01:23:20
happen. That was fine because we were in
01:23:22
that universe and, and everything that happened.
01:23:24
But like I, I called it from the beginning.
01:23:25
And I think it was, I think actually, James, you were, it
01:23:28
was something that you had said that put me on to it and made me
01:23:31
pay attention to it. And I think it was like the
01:23:33
first time he went in there he goes.
01:23:34
Did you notice that there was nobody brown in there?
01:23:37
And I immediately was like, it's Earth X, it's Earth X, it has to
01:23:40
be Earth X. And I, and I like went off on
01:23:43
that and look for every sign that it was Earth X every time
01:23:46
we went back there being that. So I mean, like we, we called
01:23:49
that. I thought that the way that they
01:23:51
wove the storyline was good. There was a lot of emotion
01:23:54
between Harcourt and and, and Chris, Chris, Chris.
01:24:00
I wanted to say John, but it was, but it's not John that's
01:24:04
economos. But I mean, like, I, I, I love
01:24:07
the way that they, they told the story, you know, and in general,
01:24:10
you know, I, I, I love the updates on a lot of these
01:24:13
characters. You know, we've seen Vigilante
01:24:15
in the past and I love the way that he reinvented Vigilante for
01:24:19
this series in season 1 and even more expanding on season 2.
01:24:22
Like basically he's a giant 12 year old that never grew up.
01:24:25
Yeah, yeah. You know, like, he's, he's got
01:24:28
that. He's still in that like
01:24:29
rebellious. Fuck you mom stage and and just
01:24:31
never grew out of that, you know, and it's just like what
01:24:34
your mom is like the nicest person in the world.
01:24:36
ANYWAYS, season finale IA lot of people were talking about like
01:24:40
how rushed it felt. A lot of people talked about how
01:24:43
they didn't like this and like that and all these other things.
01:24:46
This was a setup for salvation run.
01:24:47
So I mean, if you're not unfamiliar with the comics, go
01:24:50
check out Salvation Run. You know, it's a setup for it.
01:24:54
I mean, especially at the very end when Chris is on the planet
01:24:58
and here's a bunch of monsters, it's like, Oh no, this is
01:25:00
Salvation run. This is literally the planet
01:25:02
that they go to because they thought it was an uninhabited
01:25:05
planet and it's got nothing but monsters like the monsters of
01:25:08
your nightmares on it that they didn't realize were there.
01:25:11
And what I love is, you know, this is this is directly going
01:25:15
to tie into the New Gods because this originally the planet that
01:25:19
they're on is a planet where Orion trains that he was a
01:25:25
training planet for him to like train himself.
01:25:27
And he goes and fights these monsters, the pair of demons and
01:25:30
the pair of demons. So I mean like I, I.
01:25:32
Again, this is a. This this is a complete setup
01:25:35
for salvation run and then saying that they're going to set
01:25:40
up that they're setting up for for future implications within
01:25:43
the DCU. This is a place where they put
01:25:46
super villains like they're this is a place where they they they
01:25:48
put super villains in this prison planet in order to keep
01:25:51
them and they basically get Lord of the flies.
01:25:53
It becomes a super villain Lord of the flies.
01:25:56
So I mean, like, again, there, there is set up for this And,
01:26:01
and I, I was not upset with the way that everything went.
01:26:05
Also getting checkmate at the end when they said, Oh yeah,
01:26:08
we're not getting these. I think me and Jen talked about
01:26:10
this when they said that we are not getting a season 3 of
01:26:13
Peacemaker. Well, it's because we're getting
01:26:15
season 1 of checkmate. Yeah.
01:26:16
And, and did I not say that we were gonna get checkmate?
01:26:19
Did I not? Say that I said that like before
01:26:23
Superman, I said that when he was just talking about stuff.
01:26:26
Well, this might come out over here and this might do over
01:26:29
here. And I was like, we're getting
01:26:31
checkmate. I know it's going to happen and
01:26:34
bam. Especially considering where
01:26:36
checkmate falls in line with like.
01:26:38
Specifically, Checkmate as an organization falls in line with
01:26:40
Salvation Run. Like they're the ones that are
01:26:43
grabbing all the villains and black bagging these villains.
01:26:46
They're basically the second generation of Suicide Squad, and
01:26:49
they're over here just like throwing people into.
01:26:52
They're DC's equivalent to the Thunderbolts.
01:26:56
Yeah, OK, Yeah. And they're basically black
01:26:59
bagging all these villains and throwing on the planet.
01:27:01
So I mean, like he's he's completely set up salvation run
01:27:04
just in this last episode. But if you don't know the
01:27:08
comics, because The thing is, is James Gunn is not holding
01:27:10
anyone's hands, right? Whereas like other other comic
01:27:14
universe, comic book thing universe, they'll they'll hold
01:27:17
your hand through everything. He's just setting it up and
01:27:20
you're going to learn as we go. He's setting up storylines for
01:27:23
way down the road. And I, I feel like if you really
01:27:28
want to, if you really want to get into this and you want to
01:27:32
know where the story is going to go, well, I just, I just gave
01:27:34
you the name, right? Go check out something run.
01:27:36
And that's going to give you an idea of where the storylines are
01:27:39
going to go. It's not going to go exactly
01:27:40
that way, but this is where you can get an idea of how things
01:27:43
are going to happen. And that also will give you
01:27:46
context to how Man of Tomorrow is going to work.
01:27:48
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, my only really most of my.
01:27:52
Problem was just I liked where they went with it.
01:27:54
I liked all the story decisions and everything.
01:27:55
It's really just it felt like I needed about three more
01:27:58
episodes. That's literally pretty much it.
01:28:00
And I like all the episodes in in the next season of the show.
01:28:03
Sure, but I'm saying to. Set up to set all this up to
01:28:07
really. Let it simmer and like, OK, one
01:28:09
episode 1 episode is this. I think that's yeah.
01:28:12
Anyway, James, what were your thoughts and your thoughts, Sir?
01:28:14
So my my take is yes. There was a lot of.
01:28:18
Like nerd heavy guessing this is Earth X, this is not Earth X.
01:28:23
Whatever is going, we know it's going to happen.
01:28:24
James Gunn does an incredible job of telling stories that we
01:28:28
think we know and making, making them adapt it to something else
01:28:32
that is completely new, but also telling some good character
01:28:35
stories. I think the good part about like
01:28:38
not knowing what Earth X is and leaving it out there, but also
01:28:42
kind of backfired because when you talk about salvation and you
01:28:46
talk about checkmate for the Nerds, you may know it or you
01:28:49
may go investigate it, which is great.
01:28:51
Like, OK, let me go pick up a comic book and see what this is
01:28:54
about. And maybe that's what he wanted
01:28:56
to do, was have people pick up comic books and go let me go
01:28:59
learn about the Salvation run, let me go learn about checkmate,
01:29:01
that sort of thing. I think for the average fan, I
01:29:04
think that's where a lot of the backlash starts to happen
01:29:07
because it's like, you leave me with a bit of a Cliff
01:29:10
cliffhanger and some untold, like, where is this going with
01:29:13
Checkmate Salvation? And it's like, you, you want me
01:29:17
to know what it is, but you're not telling me what it is.
01:29:19
And I think that big of a cliffhanger kind of missed the
01:29:23
mark because it wasn't like a cute little bow wrapped up on
01:29:27
things. OK, I mean, there, there was
01:29:30
bows. So there was a bit where he
01:29:33
showed. Peter.
01:29:35
Safran a cut of the episode where it ended with checkmate,
01:29:38
you know, before Peacemate spoiler before Peacemaker gets,
01:29:42
you know, nabbed and put in over at Salvation.
01:29:45
And Peter Safran was like, well, you have to put in salvation,
01:29:48
like you have to do that. You have to like lead where it's
01:29:51
gonna go. So I say, all right, let's do
01:29:52
it. So it's a little interesting
01:29:54
because it's such a a cliffhanger for like, what's
01:29:56
going to happen next and knowing like, we're not going to do a
01:30:00
Peacemaker season 3, you know, and we may spin off and do
01:30:04
something else without actually saying it.
01:30:06
I think that can leave viewers with a little bit of a bad taste
01:30:10
in their mouth about like, well, you're just leaving open-ended
01:30:13
pieces and I don't know what's going to happen.
01:30:15
Yeah, Yeah. I think he should probably come
01:30:17
out pretty like pretty quickly. And say, hey, no, the reason
01:30:20
there's not a Season 3 is because we're looking into doing
01:30:23
doing a season 1 of checkmate like you know that right, or a
01:30:26
season 1 of salvation run maybe. Well, I think that's why he.
01:30:30
Did that post about Man of tomorrow like hey.
01:30:32
This is where we are gonna go. But it hasn't.
01:30:35
It doesn't really connect with Peacemaker.
01:30:37
So it's like feels a little open-ended, but we'll see what
01:30:39
happens. And also I enjoyed it overall.
01:30:41
I enjoyed this the series, yeah. The other.
01:30:44
Thing with salvation run in general it ties.
01:30:46
Into the theme of gods and monsters because and you have a
01:30:49
planet full of monsters that Orion used to run on you
01:30:53
literally have gods and monsters on this planet so I mean and
01:30:58
again it's it's it is a easy way for them to start introducing
01:31:02
like kind of slow dripping the new gods into everything so yeah
01:31:05
right yeah great you know as much as we talk about like hey
01:31:09
who's going to be. Batman.
01:31:10
Is, you know, David Corn, Sweat, a good Superman, that sort of
01:31:14
thing. What's going to happen with the
01:31:15
DCU? He's set up a lot with
01:31:18
Peacemaker and told some good character driven stories within
01:31:22
Peacemaker that could do a lot, you know, and I and I think he
01:31:26
did a good job of like showing diversity and giving range for
01:31:31
the actors and letting them, letting them act, letting them
01:31:34
tell good stories and showing good character arcs.
01:31:36
I was really impressed. I was impressed with John Cena,
01:31:39
to be honest. Like I know I'm a mark, I'm a
01:31:41
wrestling mark and I'm a fan of John Cena, but seeing him act,
01:31:45
it's crazy how good he's how good he's gotten.
01:31:48
I just watched Daddy's Home with Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg
01:31:54
and he's in that and he was so stiff.
01:31:57
Like he just has like a 5 minute apart but it's so stiff and he
01:32:00
has like 2 lines and it's like it's so stiff.
01:32:02
You can just see his growth as an actor.
01:32:05
Also, I just had. A an epiphany moment right now,
01:32:09
right? I've been talking about how much
01:32:10
I want Alan Richardson to be Batman, right?
01:32:13
You had the same epiphany moment.
01:32:15
God damn it, What if, Alan? Richardson is Orion.
01:32:18
That's what I was gonna say. I.
01:32:20
Could see that I would one. 100% be on.
01:32:24
Board with Alan. Richardson is Orion.
01:32:26
Yeah, I think that's what they're doing.
01:32:28
I think that's what they're doing.
01:32:30
Because I think he was probably like, I think I think he was
01:32:33
like, yeah, I want to be Batman dead.
01:32:34
And he goes. I got a better idea.
01:32:35
Orion and Alan Richard probably yes.
01:32:40
It's like I'm high father's son that got.
01:32:43
Swapped and became and got raised by Darkseid.
01:32:46
You got much Thor? OK right.
01:32:49
Sounds good Matt in the chat. Saying he would be a good, he
01:32:52
would be a great Orion I-100. Percent agree with that.
01:32:55
I do. I would love him to be Batman.
01:32:58
I think he would be an amazing Orion.
01:33:00
I do think that's where the helmets are coming from, I do
01:33:03
think. Oh my God, those are Orion's
01:33:05
helmets. That'd be so dope.
01:33:07
And they're all like lined up in.
01:33:09
In the QUC and. It's all just, you know, Orion
01:33:13
being like, OK, I'm going to go test myself.
01:33:15
What am I? What helmet am I going to
01:33:16
choose? And then it's just Peacemaker
01:33:18
just stealing helmets here and there.
01:33:19
Just let me grab this one. That would be good.
01:33:22
That's probably what it is. That's.
01:33:25
What it is? And then Orion just shows up.
01:33:27
It's like, what do you do with my helmet?
01:33:29
My God. OK, I had to like double take,
01:33:32
like do a. Double take on it right real
01:33:33
quick. Earth X Peacemaker's helmets are
01:33:36
100% Orion's helmet. Oh my gosh, I had and I was like
01:33:42
Orion's. Helmet.
01:33:43
I was like, can it be Peacemaker's helmet?
01:33:45
And I'm looking at him, I'm like, Oh my God, that is Orion's
01:33:47
helmet. 100% is Orion's helmet. And then in a weird, strange
01:33:52
twist, he has his like flying. Scooter thing.
01:33:55
But then he trades it for the Peacemaker cycle.
01:34:00
Come on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we have.
01:34:04
OK, so so we have. Predicted the rest of the DCU on
01:34:07
this show, so let's let's move on.
01:34:09
Yeah, let's look. All right, let's go.
01:34:11
We've cracked the codes. Move on.
01:34:12
We've vibed. Trends served the New York.
01:34:15
Comic Con recap bites. And gave opinions with extra
01:34:19
spice. Let's wrap this up with the geek
01:34:21

01:34:25
culture pulse goes live. Will somebody leave Jen's
01:34:38

01:34:40
Weird stuff on the screen and and we don't appreciate it.
01:34:44
HR is very upset. I'm like, what?
01:34:46

01:34:48
No, like I said. Somebody keeps messing with your
01:34:50

01:39:56
Do is DM us at distance nerding on Instagram and let us know

01:41:16
right. Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk
01:41:17
about our schedule. Distance nerding is God.
01:41:22
I messed myself up on Tuesdays. All the nerdy news on the
01:41:25
Distance Learning podcast, the show you're watching right now
01:41:28
from 6:30 to 8:30. Guys, we are doing all the fun
01:41:31
stuff. This is where you can come and
01:41:33
hang out with us, check out the news, learn about all the rumors
01:41:36
and all the fun things that are coming out Thursdays.
01:41:38
The build is still a thing from 6 to 8 this week we're I'm
01:41:42
actually not going to be building anything this week
01:41:44
guys, because we have a massively big kind of guest deal
01:41:48
guest on the show this week. I'm I'm I'm very much selling.
01:41:52
I'm so excited. It's really hard for me to like
01:41:54
keep it under. So ladies and gentlemen, this
01:41:57
week the guest on the show is the CEO of for a second, I
01:42:03
forgot the name, Kamazi Entertainment.
01:42:06
This is how exciting I am. I am because it's a really big
01:42:13
deal for us. The.
01:42:14
CEO of Kamikaze Entertainment, Chris Dimlin, who is coming on
01:42:19
the show to we're going to be doing an interview with him, but
01:42:22
also we're going to be doing a debrief of LA Comic Con and
01:42:27
talking about, you know, all the everything that happened at the
01:42:31
show. What was it 2-3 weeks ago now,
01:42:34
right? So it's going to be a good time.
01:42:36
He's going to be on the show. We're going to talk with him.
01:42:39
I don't have anything to build. So we're going to do the
01:42:42
interview and then we're probably going to do a bunch of
01:42:44
brackets and have a whole bunch of fun.
01:42:45
So, you know, it's, it's really cool because you know, we've
01:42:49
gone to a lot of cons We. Do Gem State Comic Con.
01:42:52
Those are big cons, but LA Comic Con is another beast.
01:42:55
It's it's on a different level. And you know, once we we heard
01:43:00
that young Phil book this interview, immediately my brain
01:43:03
was like, I want to know what it takes to put together a show
01:43:07
like LA Comic Con and bring the guest.
01:43:09
Yes, and and bring the vendor.
