Episode Summary
This week Young Phil, Jahmez5000, and Jen the Fray bring the chaos (and tacos) to Ep. 243! From Edge of Tomorrow 2 looping back into existence to Sam Raimi’s rumored MCU return, we’re speculating hard. Is Doom the puppet master setting up Avengers vs. X-Men? Is Hulk about to get angrier (and grayer)? And is Ryan Gosling the Jedi heartthrob Star Wars never knew it needed?
Also, Tulsa’s giant oil worker statue officially became “Tulsa’s Flat Ass.” You’re welcome.

00:02:08
Well, guys, how was your weekend because we're going to get into
00:02:11
my weekend here in a little bit. It was good.
00:02:13
I went to the fair. Went to the fair, OK.
00:02:15
Yeah, Yep, that's had some lemonade.
00:02:18
That's fair, lemonade, you're still.
00:02:20
Drinking lemonade. Had some really bad Schnitzel.
00:02:23
It was mostly just the crust. Very.
00:02:26
Little fair fair Schnitzel do that to you.
00:02:28
Schnitzel walked around. Yeah, that was about it.
00:02:33
Kind of boring. How about you?
00:02:34
Oh my gosh. K Pop Demon Hunters, though,
00:02:36
they had a karaoke thing. It like, it was like rows of
00:02:40
these microphones and you could sing along and it was K Pop
00:02:43
Demon Hunters. And I thought of you guys when I
00:02:47
had that. Yeah.
00:02:47
And of course, we have the big oil guy.
00:02:50
Most everybody calls it the Golden Driller.
00:02:52
And so I took a picture and sent it to you guys in our group chat
00:02:57
and called it Tulsa's ass. I didn't see that That was.
00:03:00
Yeah, Tulsa's kind of got a flat ass, yeah.
00:03:02
Well, it's like one side is real bulbous and the other side's
00:03:05
kind of flat. It's it's the weird ass so.
00:03:08
Ain't got that big back, you know?
00:03:09
What I'm saying, yeah, just hanging out with out there,
00:03:11
hanging out with Doug Dimedome, the the owner of the Dimsdale
00:03:15
Dimedome. I have no idea what.
00:03:17
Words are you saying? Dimedome you.
00:03:20
Guys, you guys, you guys don't know that nerd joke reference.
00:03:23
All right. Well, John, so.
00:03:25
Unless it's in rumor, I don't. Know the Aki Basho ended this
00:03:28
weekend and we got we caught up on all of it and got to see and
00:03:32
in day 15 it was yokozuna versus yokozuna or the Thai and the one
00:03:40
that was a head lost. So it went to another bout they
00:03:43
had a tiebreaker bout It was amazing it was such a good boss
00:03:48
show. So if you guys are sumo fans try
00:03:51
and find the the aki boss show stuff on YouTube.
00:03:56
You will not be disappointed. Aoniski, my boy did so well.
00:04:01
I think he's going to get promoted.
00:04:03
And Hosho Ryu, who also I love, didn't win.
00:04:07
He was the Yokozuna that didn't win, but he was on a tear.
00:04:10
He he and Ona Sato, who's the other Yokozuno?
00:04:15
He, they both were, did so well in this boss show.
00:04:18
So anyway, let's stop talking about sumo because I could also
00:04:21
talk about the Kawhi Leonard scandal and the Clippers, but
00:04:24
I'm not going to do that because I've been following that shit.
00:04:26
Pablo Torre, he knows what's going on and I'm all about it.
00:04:29
But let's move on. Jamez, how was your weekend,
00:04:32

00:04:33

I was recently on an episode that we just dropped this
00:07:38
morning where we talked about Twisted Metal.
00:07:43
Twisted Metal. Yeah, Yeah.
00:07:44
So Twisted Metal. If you guys have not checked out
00:07:47
the show on Peacock, it is really good.
00:07:49
We we, we kind of went into the the insurance and outs of the
00:07:54
show. And what surprised us about kind
00:07:57
of just how good and and entertaining the story is coming
00:08:01
from a game that was just about driving around and shooting,
00:08:03
right. So it's like they did a really
00:08:04
good job of tapping into that lore and making it and making
00:08:09
the whole thing, you know, just really good And and you know,
00:08:12
we, we talked a lot about that. Awesome.
00:08:14
Your your episode was a lot more orderly than my you guys like
00:08:21
had segments and everything was like, Hey, give us the rundown.
00:08:25
Hey, let's do this. And then I was like, we didn't
00:08:27
have any of that on my. He even introduced me at the
00:08:30
beginning of the show. I.
00:08:32
Know I was like whoa, Phil got an introduction and everything,
00:08:37
what the heck? Whoa, that was really funny, but
00:08:40
it was about the same length as mine, so I feel a little bit
00:08:43
better about myself now. We also went on like tangents
00:08:47
about like, you know, what was happening at Paramount and you
00:08:49
know, like, I almost forgot about the Halo tangent that we
00:08:53
went on at the end. And both of us were like, all
00:08:54
right, let's let's move away from this just because we can
00:08:57
both kind of go off on Halo and we're not going to do that.
00:08:59
So. James got a shout out.
00:09:01
Yep. Yeah.
00:09:01
Yes. All right.
00:09:02
You everybody can go check out that shout out challenge
00:09:06
accepted. Is it under geek podcast or
00:09:09
challenge accepted on on like Spotify?
00:09:11
It's under challenge. Accepted.
00:09:13
Well, I actually saw that it dropped on Instagram and went to
00:09:18
their link tree and found it that way and actually listened
00:09:21
to it on Apple Podcasts. So you don't, you know, you can
00:09:24
actually, you know, find it several different ways.
00:09:28
There you go. All right, so.
00:09:31
Sweet. And that was it.
00:09:32
That was it. That's it for our shout outs for
00:09:33
the day, the ladies and gentlemen.
00:09:35
Oh you know what? Actually, I do have to throw
00:09:37
this in the shoutouts. We just dropped a brand new
00:09:40
episode of Comic Conversations last night.
00:09:43
So for those of you who are not familiar or maybe you know what
00:09:47
wasn't paying attention, we dropped an episode with Stan
00:09:49
Berkowitz from LA Comic Con Stan Berkowitz is a was was one of
00:09:55
the big writers behind Batman the Animated Series.
00:09:59
Awesome and Batman Beyond. And Superman and Justice League
00:10:04
Gargoyles was another big thing for him.
00:10:06
I mean, like, like he, he, it, it was absolutely fun.
00:10:10
We've got three other interviews that I'm trying to get out by
00:10:13
the end of this week just because I promised the the
00:10:16
actors that I would have them out by next week 'cause they
00:10:18
want to use them for promotion. So oh good, I I am making an
00:10:22
exception. I will be dropping multiple
00:10:24
episodes this week, usually doing weekly guys, but I because
00:10:30
of the promise I made to the actors and because what they're
00:10:32
using it for, they want to they want to use it to promote the a
00:10:35
con in Dallas next week. So oh cool.
00:10:37
So be on the lookout. To my neck of the woods.
00:10:39
Right. Be on the lookout tonight's
00:10:41
distance nerding, but for the rest of the week, we I will be
00:10:44
dropping episodes of comic conversations.
00:10:47
Awesome. It's.
00:10:47
Like we're a real podcast. I know, right?
00:10:50
Well, with that being said, it's time to get us banned in
00:10:53
Belarus, ladies and gentlemen, it's time to start some room.
00:10:55
Yeah, let's. Do this.
00:10:56
My favorite part of the show, I think.
00:10:58
Is it is it dancing to to the music and getting lost in
00:11:01
Belarus? Yeah.
00:11:04
Ban, ban, ban to Belarus. Ban band to Belarus.
00:11:08
Ban band Band to Belarus. Ban ban in Belarus.
00:11:11
Weird ban Ban ban in Belarus Bat ban ban.
00:11:15
Sorry, you should be sorry. Oh, it's me.
00:11:19
Just when you thought the time loop was closed, Tom Cruise
00:11:22
might be strapping back into the EXO suit for a long-awaited
00:11:26
sequel, with filming reportedly set for late 2026.
00:11:31
After years of development limbo, Edge of Tomorrow Two
00:11:34
could finally be looping back into production, raising
00:11:37
questions about time travel, continuity, and whether Emily
00:11:41
Blunt returns to the battlefield that goes on the table.
00:11:44
Do you believe this sequel is actually happening, or is this
00:11:48
just another rumor stuck in its own developmental loop?
00:11:51
I think it's. Another sci-fi Groundhog Day.
00:11:53
OK, let's make it happen. Yeah, I see it happening.
00:11:57
It was it was a runaway hit. It was one of those things that
00:12:00
wasn't really all that big when it first came out.
00:12:03
But then once it hit streaming, like everybody loved this movie.
00:12:06
So I mean, just I think that a sequel makes sense just because
00:12:10
Warner Brothers probably realized like there are there's
00:12:12
enough people asking for this that they should probably do it.
00:12:16
And if they can get Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt back, oh, star
00:12:19
power, right? Absolutely.
00:12:21
I agree. My talkers are on the table for
00:12:23
this. I loved the first one, but I
00:12:25
didn't see it at the theater. I I saw it streaming and I was
00:12:27
like, why? I don't know, what's this in the
00:12:28
theater? What the hell?
00:12:29
What was wrong with me? But yeah, it was really good.
00:12:31
I loved Emily Blunt in this. I loved her in Devil Wears
00:12:34
Prada. Do not get me wrong.
00:12:36
Do not misquote me on this. First love double wears Prada.
00:12:39
Second, love this movie. And then, seriously, Jungle
00:12:42
Cruise? Yes.
00:12:43
No, then into the woods, because she sings in it.
00:12:46
How that movie and then Jungle Cruise?
00:12:49
No, I've never seen Jungle Cruise.
00:12:51
Come on. It's actually pretty good.
00:12:52
It's actually pretty good. You know who else is in that?
00:12:55
The Rock. Yes, what?
00:12:58
So yeah, I didn't watch that. Did you guys see her in with was
00:13:03
it It was oh, the guy from How I Met your mother?
00:13:06
Not yeah, How I Met your Mother and he's on shrinking.
00:13:08
What's his name? Jason Segel, the movie that she
00:13:10
did with Jason Segel where they actually get married, but
00:13:13
they've been trying to get married A5 year engagement or
00:13:16
something like. That Oh yeah.
00:13:18
Yeah, yeah, it was so cute. Such a cute little ROM com.
00:13:21
I loved her in that. That was cute.
00:13:22
Not as cute as Jungle Cruise, I'll tell you that much.
00:13:26
Just. So not the same genre.
00:13:28
Just saying. Just saying.
00:13:29
OK, let's keep it going. Who summoned Sam Raimi again?
00:13:32
Kevin Feige, we're looking at you.
00:13:35
Rumor has it Sam Raimi is in talks with Marvel Studios, but
00:13:39
not for Doctor Strange Three. That opens the portal to wild
00:13:44
speculation. Midnight Suns, Ghost Rider, a
00:13:46
horror tinged X-Men? I'd quest.
00:13:50
Sam Raimi's signature style could reshape any corner of the
00:13:54
MCU and fans are already conjuring dream matchups.
00:13:59
Tacos on the table. Do you believe Sam Raimi's
00:14:02
really cooking something new with Marvel or is it just fan
00:14:05
fueled wishful thinking? Sam Raimi coming back, what do
00:14:09
you think? I'm pretty sure graveyard summon
00:14:12
this just to be fair, but Kevin right I I'm I'm all for this.
00:14:19
I I feel like this is a a good idea to bring him in.
00:14:23
He has very good horror sensibilities.
00:14:27
Midnight Suns would be my first choice for Sam Raimi to direct
00:14:31
OK or even potentially Blade. Oh yeah, who is directing Blade?
00:14:35
They don't have a director anymore.
00:14:36
Oh. Yeah, maybe, maybe.
00:14:37
Maybe. I like that.
00:14:38
I like that. Yeah.
00:14:39
I could see Sam Raimi coming back.
00:14:40
They've they've been really happy with Sam Raimi before the
00:14:43
MCU even happened. So I think they're gonna find a
00:14:46
way to bring him back. I mean, I don't know if you guys
00:14:48
saw Marvel Zombies, but like how how jump scary that was.
00:14:53
I could see him doing some kind of adaption, you know, more jump
00:14:56
scares just like in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of
00:14:59
Madness. I think they could do something
00:15:01
a little on the horror horror side maybe.
00:15:04
Go ahead. Are you guys fine?
00:15:05
And you guys have your tacos on the please, because we're not
00:15:07
saying tacos on the table. My tacos are on the table.
00:15:11
My tacos are also. Yeah, my tacos are also on the
00:15:13
table on this. All right, so here's my thing.
00:15:17
You're gonna love it. Probably not.
00:15:19
Sam Raimi did a couple of things that weren't horror related.
00:15:23
Hercules, ring any bell. Cena Warrior Princess, Neither
00:15:27
one of those ring a bell. Yeah, yeah.
00:15:30
I want him to do a Hercules movie with Brett Goldstein.
00:15:33
I was gonna say I. Don't want it to be horror
00:15:35
related. Want it to be?
00:15:38
A journey adventure. I I knew it was going to be like
00:15:41
I I just need an in for Brett Goldstein to get in because he
00:15:44
got shelfed after that movie. Oh, I wonder.
00:15:48
Apparently it upset him so much he's leaving.
00:15:50
He left the stream. That's fun.
00:15:53
OK, So yeah, no, I thought that would be when I first thought I
00:15:56
was like, Oh yeah, like he could do.
00:15:58
I would love for him to tackle New Mutants in that horror
00:16:01
aspect that they did, but actually make it Canon.
00:16:04
I would love to see something like that.
00:16:06
I think he'd be great at that. But I was like, wouldn't it be
00:16:08
fun if he did something like Hercules or Xena?
00:16:11
So I was like, I'm definitely going to mention that.
00:16:13
So yeah, I mentioned it. All right?
00:16:14
That's what I meant to do. I'm not against that either.
00:16:18
Again, I just, I feel like he is, if they're trying to tap
00:16:21
into horror, I mean, they can get other horror directors and
00:16:24
they have other horror directors that are not doing horror movies
00:16:27
within Marvel. Yeah, you know, and Sam does
00:16:30
have experience in non horror related stuff.
00:16:33
But I mean, I just kind of feel like horror is his Forte and
00:16:36
that's kind of where we would want him.
00:16:37
I just, you know, I, I think a lot of people look at this and
00:16:40
they, they peg people into one box and you know, Sam Raimi has
00:16:44
done other things. So, you know, I, I loved
00:16:48
Hercules and Xena. I thought it was great or both
00:16:50
of them were great. But you know, I'm sure it's
00:16:52
probably going to be something horror and he'll probably put
00:16:55
some horror in it anyway because there were episodes of Hercules
00:16:59
and Xena that had some horrific things in them.
00:17:01
So. Yeah, like a.
00:17:02
Blonde like Keith. Keith Urban.
00:17:05
Oh my God. Karl Urban.
00:17:07
A blonde Karl Pearl Urban as Cupid, OH.
00:17:10
God, oh God, yes, I do remember that.
00:17:12
Oh man, that was bad. Anyways, let's go ahead and move
00:17:15
on to the next story here. Okie.
00:17:17
Dokie okie Dokie Doom plays Puppet Master New Whispers tease
00:17:21
of villainous vendetta at the heart of Avengers Doomsday, with
00:17:24
Doctor Doom allegedly driving a showdown between Earth's
00:17:27
Mightiest Heroes and the X-Men. If true, this could be the MCU's
00:17:31
biggest ideological clash yet. Mutant rights versus global
00:17:34
defense with Doom playing puppet master.
00:17:37
So guys, tacos on the table. Do you believe Doom is the
00:17:40
mastermind behind Avengers versus X-Men or is this just
00:17:44
crossover click bait? Fred, you go first.
00:17:46
Yeah, OK, I was going to say let me let me just break it down a
00:17:49
little. I don't think it's going to be
00:17:50
Avengers. I mean, the only time we've seen
00:17:53
Doom in Canon on screen was and if you guys haven't seen it yet,
00:17:59
then put your put your fingers in your ears when he in the post
00:18:04
credits scene for Fantastic Four.
00:18:06
So, I mean, are the fantastic or like, are they going to be that
00:18:11
persuasive to The Avengers after all the crap The Avengers gone
00:18:15
through? Some of them maybe, but not all
00:18:17
of them. I mean, the only one that would
00:18:19
just immediately be like, yeah, let's let's hear him out would
00:18:22
be Captain America Steve Rogers. And that Captain America Steve
00:18:25
Rogers is no longer an option right now.
00:18:29
So I don't know, unless Doom comes to our world dressed as
00:18:34
Iron Man and makes everyone believe that he is back from the
00:18:39
dead, do I see The Avengers following him?
00:18:42
So my tacos are off the table for this, at Doom playing a role
00:18:47
Now, does he manipulate everybody?
00:18:48
And it happens? Yeah.
00:18:50
But I don't think he plays a role.
00:18:52
I don't think he's out front and Center for it.
00:18:54
So. So my tacos are off the table.
00:18:56
My tacos are off the table too. I think it's too quick.
00:18:59
It's too much to start slamming it all together.
00:19:02
Avengers versus X-Men, they could do whatever they're going
00:19:06
to do in Doomsday. And then hype another Avengers
00:19:09
movie, maybe after an X-Men Movie or two where you you label
00:19:14
it X-Men versus Avengers. I think slamming it all together
00:19:18
just for Doomsday and Secret Wars.
00:19:20
I don't think it's going to happen.
00:19:21
So tacos are off the table on this.
00:19:23
One, so my tacos are on the table and here's why.
00:19:25
And it's not because I don't feel like it's going to be a
00:19:28
direct, you know, he is starting a fight right there.
00:19:31
I think it's going to be small seeds being planted in order for
00:19:34
there to be distrust and it's Doctor Dooms way in order to sow
00:19:39
distrust from the beginning. I think I think Doom is going to
00:19:41
start like planting seeds that pay off in a later movie.
00:19:45
And especially because that's what Marvel that's that's what
00:19:48
Marvel did so well in the first first couple of phases up until
00:19:51
Infinity War was planting seeds that paid off later on down the
00:19:55
road. And I feel like that's what
00:19:57
they're going to do if if, if Doom is going to be their
00:19:59
ultimate big bad. I don't think that these two
00:20:02
movies are going to be where we end with Doom.
00:20:04
I think that Doom starts planting seeds now and you know,
00:20:08
especially. Because they're going to be
00:20:09
introducing more, they're going to be introducing X-Men
00:20:13
characters in this movie. He's going to be planting seeds
00:20:15
against X-Men versus The Avengers and like sowing
00:20:18
distrust. And it's not going to be like a
00:20:20
direct fight there. It's he's setting it up for a
00:20:22
later movie. So that's where my tacos are on
00:20:24
the tables. I don't think he's starting a
00:20:26
fight directly. I think he's planting seeds that
00:20:28
will pay off down the road. I guess where I my tacos are off
00:20:31
the table is I don't think it's going to be an Avengers
00:20:34
doomsday. I'm like with James.
00:20:36
I think it's either going to be like secret or or a movie
00:20:39
further along. So that's what I'm saying is I
00:20:42
don't think that's going to happen in Doomsday.
00:20:44
I think. I think if he is planting seeds,
00:20:46
and like you said, I think it's going to be much further along
00:20:49
once the X-Men have been really established.
00:20:51
No, like I said, I think he's going to start planting seeds in
00:20:54
this and continue to plant seeds in Secret Wars.
00:20:57
There's not going to be direct fights with them.
00:20:59
There's going to be more where what Doom sets up is that
00:21:02
there's distrust amongst all of them that the X-Men don't trust
00:21:05
The Avengers, but they fight that they'll fight with them in
00:21:08
order to fight a common, common goal.
00:21:10
But there's like a distrust of like, you know, we don't really
00:21:13
trust these guys, you know, and I think that that's what's going
00:21:15
to happen and they're just going to build on that going down
00:21:18
towards these movies. And it's just going to get it's,
00:21:20
it's going to be a, a snowball rolling downhill.
00:21:22
It's just going to get the the pressure is going to build and
00:21:25
build and build until we get a full on Avengers versus X-Men
00:21:28
Movie. And you know who's going to stop
00:21:30
that? Bruce Banner, AKA the Whole.
00:21:32
I thought you were going to say luscious lock.
00:21:33
Snowball. Snowball.
00:21:35
Yeah, he's gonna no snowball. Ice Man's gonna stop it.
00:21:37
That's that's going to be. Ice Man Ice Man makes a rant.
00:21:41
All catches. That's right.
00:21:42
Let's let's go ahead and move on.
00:21:44
Basketball special Let's. Go ahead and move on because
00:21:47
you're already you're already planting that seed.
00:21:49
Banner Spiral and the therapy bills gonna need a Stark on me.
00:21:54
A new rumor suggests Bruce Banner's next arc will take a
00:21:57
darker turn in upcoming adventures films.
00:22:00
Whether it's Grey Hulk, Maestro, Infinity Hulk, or something
00:22:03
entirely new, fans are bracing for a more tortured take on the
00:22:08
Green Giant, one that leans into rage, regret, and maybe even
00:22:13
betrayal. Huck is on the table.
00:22:15
Do you believe Hulk's headed for a darker storyline or is this
00:22:19
just some fan and theory dressed in Graham Graham gamma radiation
00:22:24
Graham cracker crust? My talkers are on the table for
00:22:27
this. I could see, and we kind of saw
00:22:29
the way Hulk can be selfish. You know it was that in that was
00:22:33
in Infinity War. Right, Infinity War is where you
00:22:36
start kind of seeing him be a little selfish.
00:22:38
Yeah, I think we're going to get more of that and more turmoil
00:22:42
with Hulk and Bruce Banner. But I think, but I think next
00:22:46
time it'll be the Hulk taking over.
00:22:48
Like, all right, Bruce, you had your chance.
00:22:49
It's going to be me. It's going to be me.
00:22:52
My tacos are also on the table. I think a lot of it is also
00:22:55
there has been a lot of fan backlash in the sense of fans
00:23:00
enjoyed smart Hulk, but he has kind of occupied the space for
00:23:05
too long and people want to go back to savage Hulk, especially
00:23:08
after seeing you know, for all the and you guys kind of heard
00:23:12
me say this on challenge accepted before all the negative
00:23:16
comments people had for brave new world.
00:23:18
One of the things that people really did like was the Red Hulk
00:23:21
showing up and seeing a savage version of the Hulk again,
00:23:24
right. So I think that that is
00:23:27
especially with the Russos. I'm sure they kind of like see
00:23:30
this and they're like, OK, we need to move back in the
00:23:33
direction of a savage Hulk. And whether that is, I don't
00:23:36
think we're going to get planet breaker Hulk, but I mean like,
00:23:38
you know, like whether it's Infinity Hulk or again, I've
00:23:41
been pushing for maestro for a long time.
00:23:44
Maestro would be that kind of in between where you have a very
00:23:48
intelligent Hulk, but he's also very, very destructive and
00:23:51
savage and ruthless, and that would be a fun version of the
00:23:54
Hulk to see teaming up with Doctor Doom.
00:23:56
We need another science guy, though.
00:23:59
You took, you took Tony off the table.
00:24:01
So they kind of replaced him with, with, you know, Bruce and
00:24:04
with Professor Hulk. Now we need like a another
00:24:06
science guy so the Hulk can rage on.
00:24:08
Bring in Amadeus Cho. There you go.
00:24:11
Getting Aren't we getting Reed, Richard.
00:24:13
That's right. We're also getting Reed Richard
00:24:15
so he can he can be that replacement for the for the
00:24:17
smart guy. I like it.
00:24:19
My talk is really. Got got the the pimps.
00:24:22
They're still around. They're alive and kicking.
00:24:24
That's right. Are they?
00:24:25
Oh, they are. Him still around yes, I.
00:24:28
I would like him to be more Hulky.
00:24:31
I agree. I think my talk is around the
00:24:32
table for this. I, you know, I don't know that I
00:24:35
want him to be full Maestro, Maestro, Maestro.
00:24:37
And I really don't want grey Hulk.
00:24:39
But they have to introduce another person to be Hulk
00:24:42
because there's so many out there now.
00:24:44
And also, what about his son? We saw his son in She Hulk.
00:24:49
Are they going to pay that off in these movies?
00:24:51
Supposedly we're supposed. To being a parent, yeah.
00:24:54
Could being a parent have made him lose his ever loving mind?
00:24:58
I'm sure both of you will agree on that.
00:25:01
Pretty much like that. That could be why he's savage
00:25:04
again. James.
00:25:05
Oh shit, go through the teen years with this one.
00:25:08
I mean, seriously. James is like this is the reason
00:25:11
that I want to be the Hulk sometimes.
00:25:12
Yeah, I Hulk out every night. Brush your teeth.
00:25:15
Put on your pajamas. Go to bed.
00:25:19
Thomas, 5000. Smash.
00:25:23
Smash an iPad or two. Stupid Roblox.
00:25:25
OK, who's got the next one? Stupid Roblox.
00:25:29
I got the next one. Oh man.
00:25:32
Well, three vigilantes walk into a Burrow.
00:25:35
No punchline, just bruises and unresolved trauma.
00:25:39
Lots of it. Rumored connections between
00:25:41
Daredevil, Born Again, The Punisher, and Spider Man Brand
00:25:43
New Day suggest a gritty crossover brewing in the MCU.
00:25:47
Sony alleyways, St. level heroes, moral grey zones, maybe
00:25:51
a few surprise cameos. This could be the most grounded,
00:25:54
brutal team up yet. Tacos on the table.
00:25:56
Do you believe this crossover is actually in the works or is it
00:25:59
just fan service fantasy with no St. cred?
00:26:02
My tacos are on the table because I've been wrong
00:26:05
non-stop. I was like, there's no way
00:26:08
Punisher is going to be in the new Spider Man movie and then
00:26:11
there's shots of him in the new Spider man movie.
00:26:13
So I'm completely wrong. So tacos are on the table.
00:26:16
They can do anything they want. They can do anything they want.
00:26:19
Oh my goodness, they broke James.
00:26:21
He's broken. He's a broken.
00:26:23
He's a broken Jamez 5000. My tacos are on the table more
00:26:27
so because this is this is a comic team up that everybody's
00:26:32
been wanting. I mean there's there's a lot of
00:26:34
grounded level fighting between them.
00:26:36
I I think the only super, kind of like the the only out of the
00:26:41
world thing is that Spiderman has a bunch of like superpowers,
00:26:44
but like daredevils powers are really just heightened senses
00:26:47
and, and, and punisher doesn't actually have any powers.
00:26:50
So it's like, you know, like the, the ground level fighting
00:26:53
with them, the team UPS between them.
00:26:54
Spider man and Daredevil's team ups are always iconic.
00:26:57
They're they're always almost like antagonists or punishers
00:27:03
and antagonists from them in a lot of storylines.
00:27:05
Like kind of like he's our friend, but he's too brutal and
00:27:08
we have to stop him half the time.
00:27:09
So I mean, like, I would love to see that.
00:27:11
I love to see that dynamic between all of them.
00:27:13
Oh yeah. I feel like my tacos are on the
00:27:15
table that we are gonna get a crossover.
00:27:18
Hopefully we'll get like, I would love to see even a Peter
00:27:22
like Peter Parker and not necessarily Spider Man in
00:27:25
Daredevil Born Again. Yeah, I think that would be
00:27:27
amazing. But I I do feel like this of the
00:27:31
MCU has been neglected for so long that having all of the New
00:27:36
York heroes like get together and start, you know, causing
00:27:41
some good trouble. Yeah, let's do it.
00:27:43
I mean, my talk is around the table for this because I think
00:27:46
it would be amazing. I also would like to see those
00:27:48
three like play off each other because their chemistry's got
00:27:51
going to be amazing. We already know that Carly Cox
00:27:54
and Tom Holland's chemistry is is really good.
00:27:57
And you know, Brick and Tom Holland and and John and
00:28:00
Baranthal, they know they, they've worked together before,
00:28:03
so you know that they've got some good.
00:28:05
Yeah. So I'm just like, I just love.
00:28:06
I I think it's going to be amazing.
00:28:08
I would love to see it. And I just want Frank to look at
00:28:10
them both like they're both insane because they're so
00:28:13
freaking positive about crap. And then, no, we got to kill
00:28:16
them all. And they're like, no, you can't
00:28:18
kill Frank because neither one of them wants to kill.
00:28:21
I think that's what it's going to be.
00:28:22
And then Punisher's going to be like, screw you both.
00:28:25
I'm going to go do my own thing and he's going to peace out.
00:28:27
And then we're going to get red and red.
00:28:28
There you go. Screw you and your cat guilt.
00:28:32
There you go. All right, Yeah.
00:28:34
Enough Marvel. Let's get on to some Star Wars.
00:28:36
OK, is Ryan Gosling can no be enough for this Galaxy?
00:28:41
A new leak claims Ryan Gosling's character in Star Wars
00:28:45
Starfighter is force sensitive and possibly a Jedi.
00:28:49
OK, whether he's a rogue knight or a reluctant padawan or
00:28:53
something entirely new, this casting could redefine the tone
00:28:57
of the film. Is he the next Skywalker or a
00:29:00
curveball in the Canon? Tacos on the table?
00:29:03
Do you believe Gosling's really playing a Jedi or is this just
00:29:06
some banta poodu? Banta Poodu.
00:29:11
That is my favorite. Bonta Poodu, that is my
00:29:14
favorite. That is my favorite.
00:29:16
And how Jabba says Wookie. I love those.
00:29:19
Those are the two things Jabba the Hutt gave me those two
00:29:22
things. Those two things.
00:29:23
OK, go ahead. I also like I also like Bib
00:29:25
Fortune and when he goes one O Wanga Solo, one O Wanga.
00:29:30
OK, Sorry, young Phil. My tacos are on the table.
00:29:35
No, you know what? I'm gonna take that back.
00:29:36
My tacos are not on the table. I, I kind of, I, I love Ryan
00:29:40
Gosling, don't get me wrong, and I think he's gonna kill it, but
00:29:42
I kind of don't want him to be a Jedi.
00:29:43
I kind of don't want him to be force sensitive unless they go
00:29:46
the route of him being force sensitive because there is a
00:29:50
lack of Jedi in the Galaxy that it goes unnoticed and he uses it
00:29:55
to become a better starfighter, right?
00:29:57
Like I I want to see him kind of the way that and or worked so
00:30:01
well where there's you're dealing with the reality of the
00:30:07
Galaxy in the world without the space Wizards.
00:30:09
I like the idea of rather than him being a rogue knight or
00:30:13
reluctant padawan, I would rather him be just a resistance
00:30:18
fighter that happens to have some forced sensitivity, doesn't
00:30:22
understand what it is, but uses it because he knows I can
00:30:25
predict things before it happens.
00:30:27
I can, you know if I can see these starfighters coming after
00:30:31
me before we even see them because I can feel them.
00:30:34
Like I would rather him be that than be a full on Jedi.
00:30:38
I would rather see like whether they say he's a Jedi or not a
00:30:41
Jedi or force sensitive, just take that off the table.
00:30:44
Take the whole Jedi force off the table, right?
00:30:46
I'd rather have another rogue Han Solo type character, you
00:30:51
know, some kind of maverick type pilot.
00:30:53
You know, that's just extremely good.
00:30:55
Let's just, you know, he flies by the seat of his pants kind of
00:30:58
thing, but he gets away with it and he's cocky.
00:31:00
Give me that, give me Ryan Gosling.
00:31:02
Is that versus? He's got some, you know, right
00:31:05
wizard. Excels so well at that.
00:31:07
He excels, Yeah, so well at being a cocky.
00:31:11
I'm I'm just, you know, I'm good at what I do kind of guy, you
00:31:14
know what I mean? Like, I want to see more of that
00:31:17
rather than them saying, oh, we're going to shoehorn it in.
00:31:20
He's going to be a Jedi and we're going to put a lightsaber
00:31:22
in Ryan Gosling S hands. And I'm sure Ryan Gosling wants
00:31:25
a lightsaber. He wants a lightsaber at some
00:31:26
point to be able to like, wave around and say, look, I'm in
00:31:28
Star Wars. I got a lightsaber.
00:31:29
I want to see him with the blaster.
00:31:30
I want to see him be the new Han Solo.
00:31:33
Not like Han Solo, but like be that character that you know for
00:31:36
another generation, be a Han Solo.
00:31:39
You know, they tried to do that with Poe Dameron and it didn't.
00:31:41
It didn't work the way that they expected it to do it with Ryan
00:31:45
Gosling. Yeah, we don't need another like
00:31:47
Force sensitive being, you know, Ryan Gosling by himself is
00:31:51
Kenuf. He's Kenuf to handle a Star Wars
00:31:54
movie. By the way, we have a Force
00:31:56
sensitive rogi type guy in Jude Law already.
00:32:00
You know, we don't need another handsome, strapping young Force
00:32:04
sensitive Buck. We just let him be Han Solo type
00:32:06
guy. Right, right.
00:32:07
Again, I would rather that idea be expanded with, with with him
00:32:13
and not with Ryan Gosling. Like I, I would prefer that we
00:32:16
get this corner of the Galaxy the same way that we got it in
00:32:19
Andor where there are no Force sensitives and they are dealing
00:32:22
with nothing but pure but pure rebellion.
00:32:26
You know, I want more of that. I want to see more of the war
00:32:29
aspect, right? Like OK we got the war aspect
00:32:32
between episodes 3 and 4, now let's see the war aspect after
00:32:36
episode 6 leading into the resistance.
00:32:39
Yeah, So what I'm saying. Is I'm going to say something,
00:32:41
so let. Me.
00:32:42
Let me go on another chapter before we get to Fray.
00:32:44
So I'm just kidding, sorry. I waited.
00:32:46
I was letting y'all like wear yourselves down.
00:32:49
Yeah, I was like, OK, they're going to wear themselves down
00:32:51
and you just kept going. I was being polite and waiting.
00:32:53
OK, My talk is there on the table because and or or was
00:32:56
force sensitive. I hate to tell you all of that,
00:32:58
but he was force sensitive. Second season proved it.
00:33:02
Force. Force sensitive doesn't mean
00:33:06
eventually you'll get the the lightsaber.
00:33:08
Force sensitive just means that maybe you're really good pilot
00:33:12
like oh Dameron, or maybe you do really well at gambling like
00:33:17
Lando Calrissian. I think a lot more people in the
00:33:20
Star Wars universe are force sensitive and that everybody
00:33:24
needs to calm the fuck damn. Because I think a lot of them
00:33:28
are, they just don't know it and they haven't been trained.
00:33:32
To be a Jedi is to be trained to be a Jedi.
00:33:36
Having Jedi training doesn't mean you are a Jedi.
00:33:39
Ahsoka as Jedi training. She doesn't say she's a Jedi.
00:33:43
Other people say she's a Jedi, but she's like, I'm not a Jedi
00:33:45
because she's not. But she was trained as a Jedi so
00:33:49
she knows how to fight as a Jedi.
00:33:51
So I'm wondering if maybe he did have some Jedi training, but
00:33:56
like Rogue, he chose not to be a Jedi.
00:34:00
And so that might be what they're going to explore and how
00:34:03
he helps guide the war to the way that it should be going or
00:34:08
whatever it is. Because we know this is after
00:34:11
the whole race situation. This is all after that.
00:34:14
So who knows what they could be going up against this time.
00:34:18
And I think maybe he's just more sensitive because he's really
00:34:21
good at lying and no, and like getting out of situation.
00:34:26
It's like Han Solo was who I also believe was force sensitive
00:34:30
to some degree. So they're, I mean, being force
00:34:33
sensitive. I mean, the force sensitive is
00:34:35
basically their version of intuition.
00:34:37
That's how they think of it. And so I feel like maybe he's
00:34:40
just got really good intuition and he just thinks it's really
00:34:43
good intuition and he's force sensitive and someone's going to
00:34:46
tell him that he's going to go, oh, cool.
00:34:47
And then he's just going to keep going.
00:34:49
Does Ryan Gosling want to wave around a glow stick?
00:34:52
Yeah, of course he does. We all do.
00:34:53
If I were in a Star Wars movie, I would want to be a Jedi so I
00:34:57
could wave a glow stick around. That is what I would want.
00:34:59
It wouldn't be as cool as I would think it would be, and
00:35:01
then I would be personally disappointed, but here we are.
00:35:04
And a cool jacket. He just needs a cool jacket
00:35:07
because some of the coolest characters just are cool
00:35:09
jackets. Not the picture that I chose,
00:35:11
but the picture like this, like the picture of them in the water
00:35:14
and stuff. And that is such a cool picture,
00:35:18
right? With a cool jacket.
00:35:20
Yeah, but if the movie is like that the whole time, I will be
00:35:23
totally eating band popcorn because I can't have the popcorn
00:35:28
at the theater. I will bring my own popcorn in
00:35:30
and eat it. Bring your own bamp the poodoo.
00:35:33
Was that our last rumor? That was our last rumor.
00:35:35
So ladies and gentlemen, hold on, Hold on, wait a second.
00:35:38
Whether Goss things wielding A lightsaber or hoax headed to
00:35:41
headed for heartbreak, we'll keep our ears to the ground and
00:35:44
our tacos on the table. But now it's time to shift from
00:35:47
speculation to confirmation. The download?
00:35:49
Yeah, that starts now. Jen, I almost did it.
00:35:58
I I I almost like went you did. You almost did it, but you you
00:36:02
stopped yourself and you did it. So I wouldn't yell at you, and I
00:36:05
appreciate that. I was like, I, I, I almost did
00:36:09
it and I was like, wait, there's a transition.
00:36:10
Let me go down. All right, cool.
00:36:12
And then as I'm doing it, I'm like, oh, I got to go back over
00:36:15
here and start the video. Crap.
00:36:16
Hold on. Let me go and do this.
00:36:18
But still, James, you're lying. I don't think it's a transition
00:36:22
anymore if you talk about it being a transition and breakdown
00:36:26
the transition. It's part of the joke, man.
00:36:28
Keep. Going, I think, I think it
00:36:29
breaks the transition. But for more news, trailers,
00:36:32
reactions, check out the Distance Nerdington post on
00:36:35
Facebook and let us know what you're nerding out on.
00:36:39
That's right. So let's let's go ahead and
00:36:41
start. No more hiding, I'll be shining
00:36:45
like I'm born to be. You're welcome, K pop.
00:36:49
Demon hunters wrapped its Netflix run with a staggering
00:36:52
325 point 1 viewers, breaking records and proving
00:36:58
that supernatural idol squads are officially leading or well.
00:37:03
Officially global. Officially global yeah, that
00:37:06
works too. With voice stars like Arden Cho
00:37:09
and Claudia Kim leading the charge, this animated action
00:37:12
fantasy fused pop spectacle with monster mayhem.
00:37:16
And fans are already panting for an on car.
00:37:19
It turns out the real demon was underestimating the power of
00:37:22
synchronized choreography. And the person at Sony who said
00:37:26
go ahead, we don't need the rights to this.
00:37:30
Hey, we didn't make any mistakes.
00:37:32
This is this. We did this on purpose.
00:37:33
We got, we got, we got rid of them because.
00:37:35
No, no. Yeah, we wanted Netflix to have
00:37:37
a win. That's that's what Sony's
00:37:39
saying, because. They need it so bad.
00:37:40
Right. They they.
00:37:41
Not us. We don't need it, right?
00:37:44
Not us. Sony doesn't need money.
00:37:46
Go ahead. Go ahead.
00:37:47
Netflix. Yeah.
00:37:49
You have it all here. All Netflix went all in and Sony
00:37:52
went Nah we fold. Let's let's keep going.
00:37:58
The Crusade and Tips Season 2 of Batman and Caped Crusader
00:38:02
finally has a release window, and Gotham's getting moodier.
00:38:06
With Bruce Tim, JJ Abrams, and Matt Reeves behind the scenes,
00:38:10
this animated noir revival channels the brooding brilliance
00:38:14
of Batman the Animated Series. Mine is the nostalgia filter.
00:38:18
Gotham's about to get darker, and Bruce still refuses to buy a
00:38:22
ring light. Man, I I do really love this
00:38:27
show. It was so much better than I
00:38:30
thought it was going to be. There were really good takes and
00:38:33
surprises. I love that this was like, you
00:38:36
know, the way Bruce Tim it described it was this is what I
00:38:39
would have written back in the 90s had I been able to just do
00:38:43
whatever I wanted. Yeah, I loved Harley.
00:38:45
I loved their Harley Quinn. I thought that was really cool.
00:38:49
And the whole basement with all the like she had all the people
00:38:52
in that basement. I was like, this is really cool,
00:38:55
I'm very serial killary. Yeah, absolutely was.
00:38:58
Yeah, I loved it. I, I loved the first season.
00:39:00
I can't wait for the second season.
00:39:01
I loved me some Catwoman. I love me some Harley Quinn.
00:39:06
Ah, I loved Alfred too. Alfred was pretty cool in this.
00:39:10
I agree, James, you're muted. We should I just let him keep?
00:39:12
You know what, you know what I like about this?
00:39:14
I like that DC, you know, James Gunn, Peter Safran are willing
00:39:18
to let things be just as they are like, hey, if this works, it
00:39:23
tells good stories and people like it, just let it be and let
00:39:26
it live. So Harley Quinn Batman Cape
00:39:29
crusader, the Batman movies like just let it be and just let's
00:39:32
have fun with it because everything is else worlds.
00:39:35
Yeah, so. I like this.
00:39:36
They made a point of that worlds and you're saying we're going to
00:39:39
continue on with some of these elseworlds things and then we're
00:39:42
going to have a mainline storyline that's just going to
00:39:44
tell one story. So I mean, I, I do think it's a
00:39:46
smart move because they're not stifling creativity for other
00:39:49
creators. Right.
00:39:51
Yeah. And they don't have to have
00:39:52
their finger on everything. I like that.
00:39:54
Well, and I think this actually came about prior to them taking
00:39:57
over, but they let it go through because they knew it would.
00:40:00
Yeah. I mean, they were happy with it.
00:40:02
And I think that's part of it too, like the stuff that James
00:40:05
Gunn has let, like James Gunn and Peter.
00:40:07
Saffron have let continue seem to be things that they really
00:40:11
are behind as well, like the Harley Quinn, like they could
00:40:14
have nixed that immediately and they didn't.
00:40:16
Of course, James Gunn was on that, so maybe that's why and
00:40:19
that Harley Quinn and Brandon McKinney may have had an insider
00:40:23
scoop on that. I don't know.
00:40:24
Anyway, let's move on all. Right.
00:40:27
Don't call it a meet cute. I've been here for years.
00:40:30
Sorry, I had to, like, continue on with that.
00:40:33
Director Dan Trachtenberg says Predator Badlands won't feature
00:40:36
any xenomorphs, despite the whaling you tiny tease.
00:40:40
Instead, the film will expand Predator lore in a post
00:40:44
apocalyptic setting, focusing on new tech, new tribes and fresh
00:40:47
hunts. Alien fans, you'll have to go to
00:40:49
Earth because this jungle strictly one apex predator at a
00:40:53
time. I like it, let it build up.
00:40:55
What I did there? Did you see the whole alien
00:40:58
Earth thing? Alien fans left good Earth.
00:41:00
I saw what you did. I like this.
00:41:03
Like let it build up so Aliens let Aliens be over here and
00:41:07
Xenomorphs are over here and and Predators be over here.
00:41:09
Tell some good stories and then we'll get there.
00:41:11
We'll get to them crossing over, but we don't have to like, push
00:41:14
it right away. Right, I I again I I agree.
00:41:16
It should be organic, right? I mean, them finding each other
00:41:20
should be organic and it should be one of those things where
00:41:22
it's like, have, have Predators met aliens before and that kind
00:41:26
of thing. I, I feel like that and, and
00:41:28
like reintroducing both IPS to fans and letting them blossom
00:41:34
1st and then bringing together her.
00:41:36
I think they're doing this really well.
00:41:38
I'm not an Aliens fan. I'm not a Predator fan.
00:41:41
Have I watched both? Yes I have.
00:41:44
I've watched more Aliens things than I.
00:41:45
I think that I why, why I keep watching them and I don't know
00:41:50
why. I've watched all good.
00:41:51
I've seen every every aliens movie.
00:41:54
I've seen all the prequels. I don't like them.
00:41:57
I don't like aliens like well, no, I, you know, look, don't
00:42:00
clip that because I do like some aliens.
00:42:03
I'm just saying that the aliens of the movies, aliens are not
00:42:08
the ones that I like Martians. I don't know, maybe I would like
00:42:12
Venusians. Sure, maybe I don't know what
00:42:15
what are their? What do they like?
00:42:17
What are the likes? What are their dislikes?
00:42:18
I don't know. I'm just saying I don't want to
00:42:20
face hugger facing face hugging my head.
00:42:22
I'm just waiting. Complicate a lot of things.
00:42:24
I'm waiting for Frank to clip that now.
00:42:28
I don't like Alien. It's.
00:42:30
Just out of spite, it will be. You know, our first meme that
00:42:35
goes viral will be me saying I don't like Alien.
00:42:38
I'm not like a whore guy, but I mean I like.
00:42:42
Thought you were going to say I'm not a whore and I was like,
00:42:45
what? Where did we get there?
00:42:47
I think we just got the name of the episode.
00:42:49
OK, so I I'm not a big horror guy, but like when you mix some
00:42:56
sci-fi into it, like Aliens and Predator, I'm on board.
00:43:00
You know, not every one of these movies have been good, but like
00:43:02
the ideas of them. And I think now the people
00:43:06
behind these IPS are willing to do it justice because Alien
00:43:11
Earth, you know, was it Noah Hawley is doing an amazing job
00:43:15
with that show. Remember, he did Legion back in
00:43:18
the day. Legion.
00:43:18
Yeah, Legion is so good. Yeah.
00:43:20
So I'm loving, loving this. I'm loving predator killer of
00:43:23
killers that the animated like shorts.
00:43:26
Oh so good. So I'm so happy that they're
00:43:29
taking these IPS that we know and telling good stories with
00:43:33
them. Well, and they're also like with
00:43:34
the with the Badlands, they're teasing that they're in the same
00:43:38
universe, so they will eventually meet.
00:43:40
And I think that makes, what is it Waylon Yutani?
00:43:46
It makes them way more diabolical than what we thought
00:43:50
they were originally in the Aliens movies.
00:43:52
I mean, it makes them really like, they're really bad guys.
00:43:56
We're talking like big bad, evil guys.
00:43:59
Yeah, kind of level. And I mean.
00:44:01
You should definitely watch Alien Earth then.
00:44:04
Yeah, Oh man, it levels up so much more.
00:44:07
Waylon Utani is enough of a tease for me that the fact that
00:44:10
Waylon Utani is even being teased in the universe is enough
00:44:14
for me because it's still, it makes it a cohesive universe.
00:44:17
It makes it more expansive that that they're all in the same
00:44:20
place. And right now we we have an
00:44:22
entire section of Aliens and Alien movies and then we have
00:44:27
Predator. What I would not be surprised is
00:44:29
in Badlands if one of the creatures from Alien Earth ends
00:44:34
up on the planet that he's in, like the eye monster or
00:44:36
something. Oh yeah, other aliens.
00:44:39
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, because they're saying
00:44:41
Xenomorphs aren't going to be in this, but that doesn't mean that
00:44:43
we may not see another creature that connects them.
00:44:47
Yeah, that makes sense. Maybe.
00:44:49
So. Wait, when did the first Alien
00:44:51
movie come out? Was that the 90s?
00:44:53
Was it the 80s? No, that was seventies, 70s, I
00:44:55
think it was, 70s was. It the. 70s Sigourney Weaver,
00:44:59
Early Sigourney. Yeah, I think the first one.
00:45:01
Was it was early. 8 I think. 79, I think 70, yeah 79. 79 Do you
00:45:07
think the aliens like the aliens nostalgia and like it coming out
00:45:12
like 79 do you think that that's one of the reasons that this
00:45:16
huge nostalgia boom is going on? I think so I think people again,
00:45:22
it kind of goes back to telling good stories.
00:45:24
So as long as the stories are good and as long as we're
00:45:27
connected to it, I think it gives it an upper hand to be
00:45:30
like, I love this as a younger kid, or I remember watching this
00:45:34
on VHS with, you know, my my parents and I wasn't supposed to
00:45:38
that sort of thing. I think that's the reason why I.
00:45:40
Know what I watched a lot back then?
00:45:43
Miami Vice. I I caught this transition from
00:45:46
like 20 lines ago. I was like, Oh my God, that is
00:45:49
genius. I.
00:45:50
Was just trying to talk about my feelings.
00:45:54
She lulled you into that transition, dude.
00:45:56
Because like. I brought you into that bit and
00:45:59
I'll let you simmer and cook there.
00:46:00
Good. A little bit sauteed, a little
00:46:02
sauteed, a little butter. NUM NUM NUM NUM And nostalgia
00:46:06
meets neon news. Joseph Kosinski.
00:46:09
Top Gun Maverick is steering the Miami Vice reboot towards a 2027
00:46:15
release. Expect synth speedboats and
00:46:18
stylized shootouts as the iconic 80s cop drama gets a neon soaked
00:46:23
upgrade. Casting still under wraps, but
00:46:25
fans are already dream pairing Michael B Jordan and Glenn
00:46:29
Powell. Glenn Powell.
00:46:30
That could be fun. Pastel suits, high speed
00:46:33
pursuits, Kaczynski's bringing the vice with extra velocity.
00:46:37
Wow, Can you imagine that? Michael B Jordan and Glen
00:46:39
Powell. That would be fun.
00:46:41
Like the two of them, Glen? Powell again.
00:46:43
He was in Top Gun Maverick. He's Bob.
00:46:46
No, that's not Bob. Bob was Lewis Pullman.
00:46:49
Oh yeah, So he so Glen Powell was in Twisters.
00:46:53
He was the lead character in Twist.
00:46:54
Is that the second movie Twisters?
00:46:56
Yeah, he was in Top Gun Maverick.
00:46:58
He's been in a bunch of stuff recently.
00:47:00
He's kind of a one of the IT guys right now for WAS.
00:47:03
He the guy that's always sunny in Philadelphia?
00:47:06
No, no, no, you're thinking. Glenn Howardson Oh, wait, I know
00:47:10
who Glenn Powell is. He's going to be in running man,
00:47:12
right? Yes, Yes.
00:47:13
Yes. Yes, yes, yes.
00:47:14
Oh, OK. All right, all right, all right.
00:47:16
Oh, yeah. He's the one I don't like.
00:47:17
OK, wow. That'll be good.
00:47:19
I wasn't a big fan of Don Johnson in Miami Vice, so it
00:47:22
actually works. For me, how dare you, Crockett
00:47:24
and Tubs, it was the. Alligator.
00:47:26
It was the alligator. They made it OK, but not wear
00:47:30
socks with loafers OK? I don't know if that's ever been
00:47:33
open. Ever since.
00:47:34
I don't know if that's ever been OK, it just seems douchey to me.
00:47:37
Exactly. Thank you.
00:47:38
It's the it's the pastel coat with the shoulder shoulder.
00:47:42
Pad I'm OK with it all. What if they said it I.
00:47:45
Think I think Tim Tim Meadows should be.
00:47:48
Oh my God Tim Meadows tubs would be amazing.
00:47:52
All right, never mind if we get we'll get caught in that little
00:47:55
web, so we should move on. Before we get burned because
00:47:58
it's time to stock up on SPF 500, Fox is reviving Baywatch
00:48:04
for a fall 2026 premiere, promising a modern multicultural
00:48:09
twist on lifeguard drama. Expect action, comedy, and
00:48:12
probably a few slow motion beach runs.
00:48:15
No cast yet, but the Hoff cameo watch begins now.
00:48:19
Same beach, new biceps, Suns out, reboot.
00:48:22
Boots out. They couldn't get it right with
00:48:24
the rock. How dare.
00:48:25
You Oh, that movie was not very good.
00:48:28
I. Keep saying it's so that James.
00:48:30
Wouldn't be upset about it. Yeah.
00:48:31
No, but I I it went on way too long and there was like, too
00:48:35
much stuff. And how did they end up at that
00:48:37
party? OK, how did they end up at the
00:48:39
party? And then there's like, so much
00:48:42
glass got broken. I you know, what the heck?
00:48:45
What the heck, Jason? Momoa was on Baywalk.
00:48:48
Oh, on the original show, yeah. Yeah, he was.
00:48:50
Just want to say that. Yeah, he was.
00:48:51
So we can transition away. I thought he was on Baywatch
00:48:54
Hawaii because there was a Baywatch Hawaii everyone.
00:48:57
I think he was just on Baywatch. He's been on a lot of stuff.
00:48:59
He was also in Stargate Atlantis.
00:49:01
That's great. First saw him.
00:49:03
He was so good on that. Yeah, with that hair, his hair
00:49:06
and dreads like that, he was flipping it around like nobody's
00:49:09
business. Yeah, better hair than everybody
00:49:10
else on that show. Well, before we transition into
00:49:14
the next one, I just wanna say that.
00:49:16
And James, you're gonna get upset when I say this for the
00:49:19
next two stories we're about to cover.
00:49:21
I was there live to hear them talk about this.
00:49:24
So. I was gonna ask about it, so
00:49:26
yeah, that's. So I definitely have.
00:49:29
I definitely have first person thoughts on this.
00:49:32
All right, let's hear it. What Lizzy wants Scarlet Witch
00:49:38
yet? Elizabeth Olsen is pushing for a
00:49:41
House of M adaptation, the iconic storyline where Wanda
00:49:45
Maximoff rewrites reality with a whisper.
00:49:48
With the multiverse already in chaos, this could be the perfect
00:49:51
moment for mutant madness and emotional meltdowns.
00:49:55
One word from Wanda and the MCU turns into a mutant mood board.
00:49:59
Oh man. So.
00:50:01
I I actually have said this. I said, was it last week or week
00:50:06
before last where we were talking about that Scarlet Witch
00:50:09
may be in Secret wars or doomsday, one of those.
00:50:12
And I said, well, she wants to do a House of M storyline.
00:50:16
And they were talking about like her being part of the royal
00:50:19
family in like an alternate version of him.
00:50:21
So yeah. So I, I think, yeah, he's been
00:50:24
talking about it for a while. So go ahead.
00:50:25
So both of them and and this leads into the next story too,
00:50:29
but both of them were very tight lipped about everything.
00:50:32
Lizzie, who he kept referring to as Lizzie Elizabeth Olsen was
00:50:39
very much she said as far as she can tell, with the next couple
00:50:44
of movies, the direction that they're going in, there's a lot
00:50:47
they need to build up to in order to get the House of them.
00:50:49
But she would eventually want it to get there, like she would if
00:50:53
friend of the show Joe Deckelmeyer, who was hosting the
00:50:55
panel, had asked her if there was any storyline from the
00:50:59
comics that you could pull and you could do, which one would it
00:51:01
be? And she said it'd have to be
00:51:03
house event. And she said that where they're
00:51:05
at right now and the direction that everything is going in,
00:51:09
it's not happening anytime soon, but she would like eventually
00:51:12
for it to get there because she would love to do house event.
00:51:15
So that's. Awesome.
00:51:16
I would love it too. It's pretty like I think it's
00:51:19
pretty Seminole to the whole mutant saga like it is.
00:51:24
I think it's up there with. It and and the way she put it
00:51:27
was like, you know, there's a lot of build up that needs to
00:51:28
happen before they get there, but it can it can happen
00:51:31
eventually. So it kind.
00:51:33
Of you've got to you got to establish mutant, right and then
00:51:36
we have to, you know, really start to love them and then you
00:51:39
to say no more mutants so that we're all like got fun, right
00:51:42
That's. How you do right and and yeah,
00:51:45
they the way she put it was almost like, you know, there's
00:51:50
no immediate plans for it, but there is clamor around wanting
00:51:54
to get there. So it it was kind of cool to see
00:51:57
her kind of like almost nerd out a little bit and and Joe asked
00:52:01
her another question that we're very familiar with because he
00:52:03
asked her what you're nerding out on right now.
00:52:05
Nice. And she goes, I'm rewatching The
00:52:08
Sopranos. That was also a story that came
00:52:11
up that we didn't, we don't have on our rundown, but unless I did
00:52:15
see it in the rundown, but basically she she didn't know
00:52:18
that zombies was out. Yeah, I heard about that.
00:52:22
But yeah, we I didn't put it in the story.
00:52:24
And a lot of people were just like, you know, some people were
00:52:26
like, did she actually play Scarlet Witch in it?
00:52:28
She goes, no, I recorded that years ago.
00:52:30
She was like, I, I don't even remember recording it.
00:52:33
She goes, I know I recorded it. I just don't remember when
00:52:35
because it happened so long ago. So it was like, you know, she
00:52:38
she kind of like doubled down and it gave the proof that she
00:52:42
actually voiced the character. So it was kind of cool.
00:52:44
Yeah, and she's like, why? Why do people keep calling me
00:52:46
Queen of the Dead? You know, like.
00:52:49
Well, she said what happened was Joe had asked her about zombies
00:52:52
and she goes, is that out? Yeah, because I think she was
00:52:55
just like, that's under NDA. Is that out yet?
00:52:56
And she was like, oh, it's out. OK.
00:52:58
Yeah, I didn't even know it was out.
00:53:00
That's funny. That's hilarious.
00:53:01
So we have a question from Sanju about this, says Magneto.
00:53:06
Royal family with a Wanda variant in Doomsday.
00:53:09
Can you see a different actress reprising the?
00:53:11
Role oh, at this point I wouldn't want another actress to
00:53:15
play Wanda. She is so ingrained in that
00:53:18
character and and there's still so much more that we can get out
00:53:22
of her. She's such a good actress that
00:53:24
I, I kind of wouldn't want another actress to pick it up.
00:53:27
But if they did, like maybe if they were trying to do like a
00:53:31
mutant version versus a like pure magic version and they were
00:53:36
going with like the, oh, this is the mutant version who is
00:53:39
Magneto's daughter and went with like a, a multiversal different
00:53:43
multiversal version. I mean, as long as they got a
00:53:45
decent enough actress that could hold her own with Elizabeth
00:53:48
Olsen on screen, because eventually they're going to meet
00:53:50
and there's going to be an argument there's or or a fight
00:53:52
between the two of them. That's an interesting question.
00:53:55
Yeah. Thinking about it, I have two
00:53:57
actors that I could see playing the next Scarlet Witch or
00:54:00
Scarlet Witch, a different version opposite Elizabeth
00:54:03
Olsen. Their names are Mary Kate and
00:54:06
Ashley. No Olsen.
00:54:08
Those are her older. Sisters.
00:54:10
Yeah. No, no, no.
00:54:12
No, Yeah, we're going to make it happen.
00:54:13
No, no, I, no, I'm, I'm sorry. I no hate on Mary Kate and
00:54:18
Ashley but they're they're Elizabeth is a better actress
00:54:22
honestly. How rude.
00:54:24
Exactly, exactly, exactly. No, I you know, if they had to
00:54:30
recast or they wanted to recast a variant, they could.
00:54:34
But being that we've seen that Elizabeth Olsen, Scarlet Witch,
00:54:41
her, she's the same in two different universes.
00:54:45
So chances are she will be the same in all of them.
00:54:50
Whereas like we got a Peter Parker and then there were three
00:54:52
different people that were him in the different universes.
00:54:56
I think, you know, and like the Reed Richards, we saw they were
00:54:59
different now that we have two. So it could happen.
00:55:03
But being that we've gotten to Scarlet Witches already and they
00:55:07
both were the same person, I don't know if that's where they
00:55:10
would go, But I mean things possible.
00:55:12
And if they did want to do a Scarlet Witch, they'd have to
00:55:15
have sort of a darker red redhead kind of look.
00:55:19
I don't know if there are any. Like Sadie Sink, I'd wondered.
00:55:23
Yeah, but she's already gonna be doing something with Spider Man
00:55:26
so. Doesn't say she couldn't be the
00:55:28
younger Scarlet Witch. Oh, that's true, True.
00:55:31
I was actually thinking somebody like somebody British.
00:55:34
Wouldn't that be cool? Get a British accent.
00:55:37
All right, yeah, Let's see that. Maybe bring Amelia Clark back.
00:55:40
No, no, no. Amelia Clark as.
00:55:42
Oh, you know what? You know who would be good?
00:55:45
The one that played the younger version of the Queen in House of
00:55:50
the Dragon. Millie Alco.
00:55:52
Millie Alcock. Millie Alcock, the one that
00:55:54
played opposite her, that played that was, that said, what's his
00:55:57
name's daughter? Right, right.
00:55:58
She ended up being the the her rival later on was her best
00:56:02
friend. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:56:03
But she was the younger version. I'll look her up and I'll have
00:56:06
her name, but let's move. On yeah, yeah.
00:56:08
OK. So, James, go ahead and.
00:56:09
Do the next one. OK, got it.
00:56:10
Robot peyote is back on the menu.
00:56:13
Paul Bettany describes Vision Quest as a story about
00:56:17
generational trauma. Fathers and sons of the Disney
00:56:20
Plus series will explore white visions identity crisis host
00:56:25
Wanda Vision, diving deep into legacy, memory and what it means
00:56:28
to be human. Ish.
00:56:30
Turns out Visions biggest upgrade isn't hardware, it's
00:56:33
heartbreak vision. So again, that was so funny.
00:56:37
Did you do that on purpose 'cause you went out of focus as
00:56:40
like as you were talking about him?
00:56:44
Bad vision. It was perfectly timed.
00:56:47
It was kind of so number one, that call back is amazing.
00:56:51
Thank you for bringing the the the robot peyote joke back.
00:56:56
But no, so Paul Bettany, we, we went to this panel specifically
00:57:00
because we thought, hey, maybe they're gonna drop something
00:57:02
new, right? Maybe they're gonna say like,
00:57:04
hey, you know, 1 of visions or not one of Vision Vision quest
00:57:07
is coming out. So maybe they're gonna drop
00:57:09
something 'cause that's what the hobbits did last year, right?
00:57:11
They like, they announced at La Comic Con that the new Hobbit
00:57:14
movies were coming out or the new Lord of the Rings movies
00:57:17
were coming out. So we thought, we were thinking
00:57:18
like, OK, there's a chance that this is going to happen here.
00:57:21
No dice on that. But when they asked Paul Bettany
00:57:24
about everything, you can see that he was looking at like
00:57:27
somebody that worked at Marvel. That was like staring up at him
00:57:30
on stage, 'cause he's like, I'm going to lose my job and like
00:57:33
I'm going to say something wrong and I'm going to lose my job.
00:57:35
And Joe the. PR Mephisto just watching.
00:57:38
Right. And and Joe is like, Oh no, that
00:57:40
means we're both going to lose our job.
00:57:41
So let's not go into this pretty good joke.
00:57:45
But but what he did say was and again, Paul Bettany was dropping
00:57:51
one like just jokes and one liners the whole time.
00:57:54
But he said the Vision quest is going to have a lot of heart and
00:58:00
is going to focus around grief the same way that Wanda Vision
00:58:04
focused on grief and and how they deal with that grief.
00:58:08
And he goes not to say that it's going to be a depressing show.
00:58:10
It's not it's going to be fun. But he was like, you know, but
00:58:14
it's it is. He had an absolute blast doing
00:58:17
the show because they're they wrapped principle on it already.
00:58:20
So he said, yeah, an absolute blast doing like, like recording
00:58:24
the show and doing everything. But it's so well put together
00:58:28
and it's the story is so well done that he was like, you know,
00:58:32
it's it's gonna rival Wanda Vision as far as how good the
00:58:36
show is, is done and. Yeah, I think that's gonna be
00:58:39
great. So Emily Carey is her name here.
00:58:41
She is here. Yeah, I like her.
00:58:43
She could be a good Wanda Maximoff.
00:58:47
She could be a good young Wanda Maximoff.
00:58:49
It would be. It would be good.
00:58:50
Not that Elizabeth Olsen isn't young, but I mean, like, you
00:58:52
know, she's younger and she's younger than me.
00:58:54
So I mean, you know that. Yeah, I'm just saying if they
00:58:56
wanted to recast and go a little younger so they could build up
00:58:59
to, you know, anyway, I'm just saying.
00:59:01
That Philippe, you could not. We did have another one Wanda
00:59:03
Vision. You could not play Scarlet.
00:59:05
Witch no I could not at all. I'm I'm way too old to play
00:59:08
Scarlet Witch. I I couldn't either.
00:59:10
I'm way too old to play any characters.
00:59:12
Yeah, I'm way too old to play any characters in Marvel.
00:59:16
So yes, you are. Then again, Deadpool's in his
00:59:18
40s canonically in The Thing, so.
00:59:22
All right, who's got the next one?
00:59:23
Oh me, me, it's me, it's me. The healing power of the Peter
00:59:27
Tingle. Peter.
00:59:29
Jingle, Peter. Tingle, Tom Holland.
00:59:31
Wait, hold on. I have a Peter tingle.
00:59:32
I have a Peter tingle. That's the Peter Tingle.
00:59:35
Okie Dokie Tom Alvin says he's feeling better and on the mend
00:59:40
after an injury on the set of Spider Man Brand new day
00:59:43
production continues and Spidey's swinging back into
00:59:46
action soon. No webbing required for
00:59:49
recovery. Even Peter Parker needs a break.
00:59:52
Just not the bone guy. I wonder what happened?
00:59:55
He got a concussion is. That what it was.
00:59:57
Oh yeah, it happened. They're saying that it actually
01:00:00
happens to stuntmen a lot and that he was doing a stunt and
01:00:04
they miscalculated and he got hit and that's why.
01:00:07
He got his. His bell rung.
01:00:09
So, yeah, and now for like, OK, we got a pause production, yeah,
01:00:13
kind of thing. Oh, interesting.
01:00:15
OK, all right, well, good. I'm glad I.
01:00:17
Think they they paused his part of it.
01:00:19
I think they they still like they, they started it back up
01:00:22
again after a couple of days after they knew he was going to
01:00:24
be OK. Got it.
01:00:25
But he's still recovering from what I understand.
01:00:28
Nice. All right, let's keep it going
01:00:30
A. Little better Tommy boy.
01:00:31
Feel better, Tommy boy. And I just, I just want to
01:00:35
mention, just from the last conversation we had, Sanju said
01:00:39
would would they bring back Aaron Taylor Johnson or Evan
01:00:42
Peters as Quicksilver? I said in the chat, I'd say
01:00:45
both. I think they're going to do
01:00:46
both. I would love to see both.
01:00:47
I would love to see them both just kind of look at each other
01:00:49
and be like, are we, are we the same person?
01:00:52
Like like that? And then be like wow, kick ass
01:00:55
and then that's it. Yeah, that'd be good.
01:00:58
Yeah, maybe when they get to Avengers versus X-Men, they'll
01:01:01
be like, wait, you, you, me, you.
01:01:03
What are we the? Same person.
01:01:04
Are we doing this? Are we doing this or we doing
01:01:07
this? Are you fast?
01:01:08
I'm fast. Are you fast?
01:01:09
We're all fast. OK, Alright.
01:01:10
You have. Nephews.
01:01:11
I have nephews. Do you have nephews?
01:01:13
I've got 2. I have two too.
01:01:15
I got 2 ones really fast. Really.
01:01:18
Hi to. God, let's keep going.
01:01:20
I'll be your Huckleberry Marvin Crondon Jones The third blood
01:01:24
from Black lightning in Into the Spider verse joins Spider man
01:01:28
brand new day as Tombstone. I know we've been searching
01:01:31
around who's going to be playing Tombstone, but we have found out
01:01:34
the Granite JOD Crime Granite JOD Crime boss, making his live
01:01:39
action debut, expects St. level grit and villainous swagger.
01:01:43
Spidey's about to face a villain with a jawline that could crack
01:01:46
concrete. So I got to ask you guys,
01:01:49
because we're getting Tombstone, do you guys think that we're
01:01:53
going to see Kingpin or there's a mention of Kingpin because
01:01:57
they work so close together in in the comics and everything I.
01:02:01
Assumed so. I wasn't saying I know that
01:02:03
Daredevil and and Spider Man are supposed to be getting together
01:02:07
like soon so. OK, do you want my crazy?
01:02:09
Do you want my phrasing? Give me your phrasing theory, I
01:02:11
want to hear it all. Here's what I think is going to
01:02:13
happen, they said Punisher. I think we're getting Daredevil
01:02:15
as well, and because we're getting Daredevil, we're also
01:02:17
getting Kingpin, and that Spidey is going to actually show up in
01:02:22
Daredevil, Born Again to help take down Kingpin in the second
01:02:27
season. He's going to be part of the New
01:02:28
York Army. I like that.
01:02:30
I like that. I think that's good.
01:02:31
It's really not that crazy though.
01:02:33
Like it's not out there. That's actually pretty logical
01:02:35
for me. I'm usually way more out there
01:02:37
and just wait until we get to the other stuff.
01:02:42
You've got more Spidey. Yeah, we do.
01:02:44
All right, well let's get this on the screen.
01:02:47
Hold on, sorry, I've got to do like 4 different things before I
01:02:49
can even. I'm also I also think it's AI
01:02:51
think he's a great casting choice.
01:02:53
Oh he he I like him great yeah and black lightning.
01:02:55
I loved him in black lighting. He's been in other stuff too.
01:02:58
I swear I've seen him in so many other things.
01:03:00
So I I think he's a great actor. So let's let's move on them.
01:03:04
With all these delays wait, this one's coming out sooner yes all
01:03:07
right. Sony has moved up the release of
01:03:09
Spider Man Beyond the Spider Verse, surprising fans.
01:03:12
After previous delays, the third Spider Verse entry will now open
01:03:16
in West theaters on June 18th, 2026.
01:03:20
That's not that far away. Miles Morales is swinging back
01:03:23
into the multiverse sooner than expected, and the hype is
01:03:26
glitching reality. Spider Verse speedrun unlocked.
01:03:30
Miles is skipping the wait screen.
01:03:33
Let's get it, LFG. Let's fucking go.
01:03:36
I'm ready for this. Yeah, this is this is a nice
01:03:38
little win for this franchise or this, you know, trilogy,
01:03:42
whatever you want to call it, because it's been delayed so
01:03:44
long. But it's so good.
01:03:46
It's so good. Yeah, we needed this.
01:03:48
Awesome. Yeah, I I honestly thought.
01:03:49
I'm just. Threat.
01:03:50
I was gonna say, I honestly thought we were, we were gonna
01:03:52
wait so long for this. And I'm happy that it's it's
01:03:55
coming out sooner. Sony finally did something
01:03:57
right. Yes.
01:04:00
They finally did it. I think it's just.
01:04:03
I beg you, I plead, I manifest that you sell Spider Man back to
01:04:08
Marvel. Yeah, one right does not erase
01:04:11
any of those wrongs, people. Sell it back.
01:04:13
Sell it back. Oh, go ahead.
01:04:15
Yeah, I think they're this is the one franchise that they have
01:04:19
gotten right in in the spider verse movies and they just got
01:04:23
to like not drop the ball on it, you know?
01:04:25
It's so funny because Sony has been such like the yin and the
01:04:30
Yang of of superhero genre stuff.
01:04:33
It's like they've put out the worst films, worst decisions
01:04:39
they've been made in in superhero stuff.
01:04:42
But also then they put out Into the Spider verse, you know,
01:04:45
arguably the best superhero adaption we've ever seen.
01:04:49
Yeah. So I mean it is it is one of
01:04:51
these same. IP, same MIP.
01:04:53
They've done this too. What it is is because they're
01:04:56
they're, they're more willing to take risks on animation than
01:05:00
they are on live action. They will not take, they will
01:05:02
not take good risks on on live action because in live action,
01:05:05
it's like we're going to take a risk on putting out a character
01:05:08
that nobody knows about because we think that we can make a good
01:05:10
movie out of it. But you know what we're not
01:05:12
going to do like actual like, you know, comic book accurate
01:05:15
stuff. We just, we want to make our own
01:05:17
story versus like spider versus like, do what you want.
01:05:19
And they're going to do like, you know, the creators, the
01:05:21
writers are, are out here like doing like, no, we got, we got
01:05:24
to make the fans happy. Yeah, and I think that maybe if
01:05:29
any of the Sony executives are gambling anywhere, we should all
01:05:33
follow them and bet on the opposite of what they.
01:05:36
Do right all. Right, well, I'm tired of spider
01:05:39
Man. I think, I think, I mean, I'm
01:05:40
not tired of Spider Man, but I've got something fun and in
01:05:44
the same vein to talk about here if we're ready to move on.
01:05:47
Yes, yes. All right.
01:05:48
I served you up that that transition.
01:05:50
I know you did. He's here to drink beer and
01:05:53
brewed Insomniac Games. Marvel's Wolverine will be
01:05:57
darker, bloodier and way more brutal than fans expected.
01:06:01
Creative director Brian Horton teased mature themes and
01:06:04
visceral combat. Logan's claws are coming out and
01:06:07
they're not pulling any punches. Less superhero, more savage.
01:06:11
This ain't your Saturday morning, Logan.
01:06:14
I'm not Batman. Speaking of Sony putting out
01:06:17
good stuff. I know their their games are
01:06:21
always good. Have you guys seen the trailer
01:06:22
for this? Yeah.
01:06:23
No. It is so good.
01:06:26
It 100% is the exact Logan that we want.
01:06:31
And I know that the like some of the things that have come out
01:06:34
since that that trailer pop dropped out.
01:06:36
So they said that it's not going to be open world the way that
01:06:39
Spider Man was. It's going to be more like God
01:06:42
of War. So it's going to be kind of
01:06:43
linear with like open, open areas that you can explore, but
01:06:46
it's it's going to be like a straight line pretty much.
01:06:50
And then of course, all of the backlash online about the way
01:06:55
Mystique looks is the dumbest, dumbest shit.
01:06:58
Somebody complaining about how she in in the trailer she goes
01:07:03
from being a dude and transition to Mystique and it's like, do
01:07:06
you not know how Mystique works? Do you not know?
01:07:08
Maybe it's because she had like old school like Tomb Raider
01:07:13
boobs or something but but she does what for mutant power
01:07:17
claims that she does. What it is is you have the
01:07:20
obvious guys who do not know Mystique as a character and are
01:07:24
all upset that it's like, oh, you're putting the trans
01:07:27
characters like, oh, you don't know anything about Mystique, do
01:07:30
you? You know it's really gonna upset
01:07:31
you guys when you go read the comics and see that she's her
01:07:34
own sons father. Right.
01:07:36
And like, yeah. Yeah, it's weird.
01:07:38
She is her sons father. Yeah, yeah, it's it's yeah.
01:07:42
She's Nightcrawlers dad. She is Nightcrawlers dad.
01:07:45
It's a trip, dude. And it's like, it's, there's all
01:07:49
this stuff like people are so upset about this and it's like,
01:07:51
I don't see what people are mad about.
01:07:52
One, she's doing her powers. 2, when you see her transition,
01:07:56
they go into a scene of a playable version of Mystique
01:07:59
just wrecking people with two knives.
01:08:01
And it's like, that's Mystique. That's how Mystique works.
01:08:04
That's how she operates, right? There's no reason for people to
01:08:07
be mad about this because it's like Mystique is being Mystique.
01:08:10
Shut up. Yeah, it'll be interesting.
01:08:11
Cool. Yeah, I'll.
01:08:12
We'll probably get it. Yeah, yeah, I'll probably play
01:08:15
it. It looks I'm not, you know, like
01:08:17
I, I, I think it'll be fun. I love playing the comic bookie
01:08:20
game until I get really frustrated and then Husby
01:08:23
usually takes over and then he actually gets really addicted to
01:08:25
it and then he's doing his own thing and then I get to watch my
01:08:28
murder porn. There you go.
01:08:29
Oh yeah, and this. I said two things that could get
01:08:32
us cancelled on here. I apologize.
01:08:34
The unaliving adult content. Yeah, she Wolverine in this
01:08:41
trailer, and this is the last point is absolutely brutal.
01:08:44
There's, there's, there's a scene in the trailer where he
01:08:46
does kind of something in the comics that we have been waiting
01:08:49
to see him do in the movies, but like hasn't happened.
01:08:52
And it's where like he takes like his regular fist, puts it
01:08:54
up to a guy's face and then unleashes the claws into the
01:08:57
dude's head. It's he's done.
01:08:58
A lot in comics. That's what I'm saying.
01:08:59
He does that in the comics a lot, right?
01:09:01
But it's like seeing seeing it like in movement just is 1000
01:09:05
times cooler. Awesome.
01:09:06
Cool. I'm excited.
01:09:07
So am I. You know what else I'm excited
01:09:09
about? This next story.
01:09:11
Well, let's let's talk about. This I'm also confused because
01:09:15
Bigfoot. Is it like the monster or is it
01:09:17
like like the truck I think. It's the truck.
01:09:19
It looks like it's the truck. Pure Imagination Studios and
01:09:22
Prime Universe Films AKA are teaming up to build a shared
01:09:28
film and TV universe around the legendary Bigfoot monster truck.
01:09:32
The Chrome crushing icon of Motorsports is shifting gears
01:09:37
into cinematic storytelling with animated series, live action
01:09:41
features and high octane lore in development.
01:09:44
Think horsepower meets heroism. I mean, yeah, that's what Jesus
01:09:48
would want. From car crushing Arena King to
01:09:51
franchise frontrunner Bigfoot's trading mud for mythos.
01:09:56
Look, we have talked about Hot Wheels, Masters of the Universe,
01:10:00
Barbie. What's the freaking like?
01:10:03
All those toys from Toy Story, Mr. Potato Head?
01:10:06
Trolls. Why not trolls, Gargoyles.
01:10:10
Why not a freaking monster truck?
01:10:12
Let's just have a monster truck IP.
01:10:13
Let's do that. I mean, F1 did great.
01:10:16
Why not? Let's go high.
01:10:18
Octane's like Sports 2, digging in the mud and jumping over
01:10:23
cars. Next thing you know, we'll get
01:10:25
Evel Knievel. Wasn't Dwayne Johnson producing
01:10:28
this too? I thought he was too like 7
01:10:31
bucks. Entertainment had something.
01:10:33
Well, take the pure imagination Studio Studios, that's piss.
01:10:37
And you take Prime Universe Films, that's puff, piss, puff.
01:10:41
It's piss puff. Ohh, God, I don't get, I don't
01:10:44
get where you're going with that.
01:10:45
I don't appreciate that neither. Neither does the rock.
01:10:48
I think she's saying that that's what comes out of the back of
01:10:50
the truck. It's a piss puff.
01:10:51
It's. A piss puff, piss puff.
01:10:53
We may be offending Tater right now too.
01:10:55
I'm. Just like, look, monster trucks
01:10:58
are huge in the Midwest. They are huge.
01:11:01
I think this is going to be, I think it's going to make
01:11:03
millions and billions of dollars.
01:11:06
I think this is going to be the biggest thing since Barbie,
01:11:08
honestly. It's going to be huge.
01:11:10
Because why not? Why not everybody just get a Bud
01:11:13
Light, go watch the, you know, movie or hey, stay home and
01:11:17
watch the animated show or hey, we got a TV show about these
01:11:21
really cool kids who want to be monster truck drivers.
01:11:24
Let's talk about it. I mean, I could see.
01:11:27
It Yeah, let's do. It blackish meets Bigfoot.
01:11:30
I remember like 15 years ago might have been longer than
01:11:33
that, they were talking about like how young girls, like
01:11:37
teenager, like young teens, what is it called?
01:11:39
Tween tweenagers. They're going to be like the
01:11:42
demographic to aim for when it comes to marketing.
01:11:45
So like we ended up getting like Taylor Swift, you know, stuff,
01:11:48
stuff like that, Katy Perry. So that's who is spending money.
01:11:52
I think there's a young demographic of boys that are
01:11:55
like, what toys AM am I supposed to play with?
01:11:57
You know, what shows am I supposed to watch?
01:11:59
Like they might not want to watch a bunch of Princess movies
01:12:02
on on Disney Plus, or they've watched all the How to Train
01:12:05
your Dragons. Jackson.
01:12:06
Versus Jackson's actually good. Do they have toys?
01:12:08
They might, yeah. A lot of toys, I think.
01:12:10
I think this is going to be a demographic that's going to blow
01:12:13
up and be marketable. Yeah, because because boys have
01:12:17
never been the demographic that that everybody wants the 18 to
01:12:21
49 year old males. All the boys aren't 18 to 49.
01:12:25
I don't know. Some of them are, am I right?
01:12:28
Am I right? No, but boys have always been
01:12:32
that. Comic books are towards boys.
01:12:35
You've got most of the TV shows are aimed towards boys.
01:12:40
Yeah, there's a lot of boys. So.
01:12:42
Not young boys. They can kiss my ass.
01:12:44
They can kiss my ass. Not young boys.
01:12:46
Young boys cannot kiss my ass. We're not clipping that.
01:12:50
Saying a lot of weird things this episode.
01:12:52
A lot of that is an alternate name for the episode.
01:12:55
Is saying weird things, Jen says weird shit.
01:12:59
There we go. That's the name of the episode
01:13:00
there. We go.
01:13:01
All right, let's get into some DC stuff.
01:13:03
Or we can call it. Hey, we're we're going to call
01:13:05
it. Hey, Frank, clip that.
01:13:06
All right, let's let's get into this.
01:13:08
Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, it's time for James
01:13:13
Gunn story time. It's the brave and the bold
01:13:15
news, just not the headline. All right, let's let me get this
01:13:21
audience on screen. All right, There we go.
01:13:22
Boom. Sorry.
01:13:23
That's you. I know I've got to, like, change
01:13:25
a bunch of stuff so Batman will crack codes as easily as he
01:13:29
cracks skulls. James Gunn's vision for the
01:13:32
Brave and the Bold is crystal clear.
01:13:34
He wants a Batman who can throw hands and solve mysteries, not
01:13:37
just a brooding bruiser or a gadget guy.
01:13:40
The Caped Crusader needs to be equal parts martial artist and
01:13:44
master sleuth. It's a nod to the comic roots of
01:13:47
Bruce Wayne, and a signal that the DCU's Batman won't be a
01:13:50
clone of the past iterations, not a one note Batman.
01:13:54
This version won't won't just brood in the shadows.
01:13:57
He'll crack codes, break jaws, and attempt to raise Damien
01:14:00
because shitty dad. I think that's why he wants to
01:14:04
crack codes and break jaws and not be at home.
01:14:07
Is to be less of a shitty dad. He's like, I cannot handle
01:14:11
Damien Alfred, take care of that.
01:14:14
I like where he's going with it though.
01:14:16
Same. I always said we need a
01:14:18
detective Batman. Like we it's he's not just let
01:14:22
me punch this guy. We really and some of the crap
01:14:25
that the villains get have gotten away with and the stories
01:14:28
that have been told about Batman, it's like, come on
01:14:31
people, Batman is smarter than that.
01:14:34
You don't takedown the Riddler and not know how to outsmart
01:14:38
people. Yeah.
01:14:38
I mean, I think that they've been trying to move more in that
01:14:41
direction, just they haven't pushed it far enough in that
01:14:44
direction of him being the greatest world's greatest
01:14:47
detective, you know, like I. Think a lot of creatives have
01:14:49
wanted to do that and a lot of studios are like, no, because
01:14:52
everybody likes the punchy, punchy, make him punchy punchy.
01:14:55
I think that's what's killed it. Yeah, and The thing is, is that
01:14:59
I think James Gunn understands the level of Yeah, the Warner
01:15:03
Brothers live action wants wants just a guy who will punch a
01:15:07
bunch of people and and we don't care about the smart.
01:15:09
But when it comes to fans and how wildly popular the animation
01:15:13
stuff is, and you see the the bounce, like you look at any
01:15:17
version of Kevin Conroy's Batman and he's always the most
01:15:21
intelligent person in the room. We can also beat the crap out of
01:15:24
anybody that walks in that room, you know?
01:15:25
So I mean, like, I think James Gunn is looking to do that.
01:15:29
He wants to not recreate, but he wants to put a version of Batman
01:15:32
on the screen that can rival Kevin Conroy.
01:15:35
That's solid. Well, yeah, I, I definitely
01:15:37
think so. You know, of all of the things
01:15:39
that we've seen so far from James Gunn and Peter Safran's
01:15:43
DCU, he really wants the comics to be the, the unsung, like to
01:15:48
be the, the singing hero. Like that's where he's getting
01:15:52
everything from. It seems to be comics lore.
01:15:54
And so I, I really like that. I like that he's doing that.
01:15:57
I also like that there are two, there's Peter Safran and there's
01:16:02
James Gunn. James Gunn is the creative side.
01:16:04
Peter Safran makes all the money decisions and makes all that
01:16:07
stuff work. So James comes to Peter and
01:16:09
says, this is what I want to do. And, and Peter goes, OK, I'll
01:16:12
get you the money. And that's how they work.
01:16:14
And that's the way it should be. You should have a kind of trust.
01:16:16
I love that they're partners and I'm all on board for all of
01:16:20
this. I like it.
01:16:21
I think they just need to like to highlight his intelligence.
01:16:25
We just need him solving like a good mystery, like whether he's
01:16:29
in the suit or not in the suit, you know, we just need to find a
01:16:32
way to have a, like a, a good mystery that he could solve and
01:16:36
take the audience on a journey through that to show his
01:16:39
intelligence and show that he's not just punchy, punchy, right?
01:16:42
Yeah, I like what Sewan said about him being in the League of
01:16:45
Assassins. I think.
01:16:46
Yeah, definitely. I like like Batman Begins, I
01:16:48
think really started out really, really well.
01:16:50
Like he was very much, I have to really go through all of this
01:16:54
and like train myself. And I liked that.
01:16:56
I liked seeing that training part of it.
01:16:58
But. Yeah, I mean, in Dark Knight you
01:17:01
get levels of it, but it's not it's not it didn't come out come
01:17:05
across the way that that Nolan was trying to push it.
01:17:08
Like you have the whole scene of him trying to recreate the
01:17:11
Ballistics and everything like that.
01:17:12
And I mean, that's kind of a cool sequence, but that's that's
01:17:15
just that's when I mentioned earlier you're he's pushing it
01:17:18
in that direction, but they're not going full, you know, in
01:17:21
this whole sleuth thing where like the in the Batman, they
01:17:24
kind of go more that direction, him questioning people, him
01:17:27
tracking down leads and things like that.
01:17:29
So you get a little bit more the detective.
01:17:31
I want to see that highly intelligent.
01:17:33
I'm smarter than everybody in the room version of Batman.
01:17:35
Right. And that how he can switch it to
01:17:38
I'm just the silly Playboy guy, right when he's bruised because
01:17:41
I think that was it. Like in Batman Begins, we saw
01:17:43
that, really saw that. In Dark Knight it was less so,
01:17:47
and then in Dark Knight Rises it was barely there.
01:17:51
My, my issue with Dark Knight Rises, he was active.
01:17:53
He was kind of a coward by that point because he quit being
01:17:56
Batman for 10 years because yeah, that that that's the, that
01:17:59
was the one thing that that bugged me about that version of
01:18:01
Batman. Anyways, It was.
01:18:03
Just kind of like. Yeah, let's continue.
01:18:05
But you know. What?
01:18:06
It's hard because we all have our interpretations of what
01:18:09
Batman should be or who he should be.
01:18:11
Yeah, I think everybody universally agrees that Batman
01:18:15
and wouldn't quit for 10 years because he had a broken heart
01:18:17
though. So I mean.
01:18:19
Yeah, you know what, everyone? Everyone wants a piece of
01:18:21
Batman, though. Yeah, according to James Gunn, a
01:18:25
lot of big name actors have reached out about donning the
01:18:27
cow. While no casting has been
01:18:29
confirmed, the buzz suggests that The Brave and the Bold
01:18:33
could be one of the most competitive roles in Hollywood.
01:18:36
We're talking Scarlett O'Hara levels here, people.
01:18:40
With Damian Wayne also set to appear, this Batman will need
01:18:43
serious emotional emotional range and serious fight
01:18:47
choreography. Who do we want to Don the cow
01:18:49
and raise the Demon's head child?
01:18:51
I I I've already said who I want to, who I want to wear the cow.
01:18:54
I still think that. No, he has already said he's not
01:18:57
doing that, so you have to pick someone.
01:18:59
Else that, that doesn't matter to me.
01:19:01
I still think he's the one that should be.
01:19:02
He should be playing Batman. He's not doing it.
01:19:04
Get over it. Now move on.
01:19:06
Who else? I think.
01:19:08
He needs to do the same thing that they did with Superman and
01:19:11
David Cornswit. Find somebody that the main
01:19:15
stream media pop clutcher doesn't quite know yet and
01:19:18
insert them so they become the the new version of Batman and
01:19:22
there's no expectations. Like Corn Sweat was amazing with
01:19:26
his version of Superman, right? So they need to do the same
01:19:29
thing with with this version of Batman.
01:19:31
I agree. I was.
01:19:32
I was going to say when it comes down to it, to me it doesn't
01:19:36
matter who plays the character. Of course, you know, I have the
01:19:39
people that I want, but in the end it should be somebody who is
01:19:42
in there early the mid 30s. It needs to be someone who is in
01:19:47
decent enough shape and and has good enough acting chops that
01:19:51
they can talk about all the things that we talked about it
01:19:54
in the last segment or in the last story.
01:19:57
All those things need to convey, they need to be able to convey
01:20:00
extreme intelligence. They need to be able to convey a
01:20:03
level of intimidation that makes you feel like almost
01:20:08
uncomfortable to be in the room with them, right, Because Batman
01:20:10
needs to be able to do that type of intimidation and, and
01:20:14
somebody who who again, the intelligence and, and, and the,
01:20:18
the, the brutalness. You know, we don't need an
01:20:21
absolute Batman just yet, right, Because absolute Batman would
01:20:23
just be nothing but brutal. But.
01:20:26
Yeah, I mean, I and and I want them to be tall.
01:20:28
You know what I mean? Like I want someone if corn
01:20:30
sweat is 6 foot four, I need someone to be about 6446 foot 5.
01:20:34
And you just. Describe as tall he is.
01:20:37
Superman height. They're not the same height.
01:20:40
Canonically, they're about the. Same height?
01:20:42
No. I think it's cute that you think
01:20:44
they are, but they're not Bruce Wayne.
01:20:46
Superman is supposed to stand head and shoulders above
01:20:49
everyone, so Batman is supposed to be a little shorter.
01:20:53
I'm just saying that that now they probably have them together
01:20:57
as the same height and Wonder Woman's not as tall as them
01:21:00
because that's how they've kind of done it recently.
01:21:03
But originally, Superman was the tallest, Wonder Woman was
01:21:06
second, Batman was third. Because Batman is a human man
01:21:11
and he's not as tall. Wonder Woman mystical Amazon.
01:21:15
Little bit taller. So I just looked up officially,
01:21:17
officially from DC, officially from DC, right, Superman?
01:21:21
Now. Superman is only one inch taller
01:21:23
than Batman. OK, Superman's taller.
01:21:25
You said they were the same height.
01:21:26
I said they weren't. It's.
01:21:27
One inch not supposed to be. They're supposed they're they're
01:21:30
they're almost the same height. OK, I'm just saying your
01:21:32
expectation of somebody else being 6/4 is ridiculous.
01:21:37
David Corn sweat is 6 foot 4 so I would want somebody about 6.
01:21:40
Foot. Yeah.
01:21:41
And David Corn Sweat is a Unicorn.
01:21:44
We all know that. This is who I want.
01:21:47
He's got the face. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:21:49
That's the dude from. Masters of the Air, His name is
01:21:52
Nate Man. He's got, he's got the jawline
01:21:55
100%. He has the jawline.
01:21:56
He'd have to put on some muscle. He'd have to put on some muscle.
01:21:58
But I mean, like, he's got the jawline.
01:22:00
Well, hey, David, Corn Sweat didn't have the muscle and he
01:22:03
put it on. He's got the broad shoulders and
01:22:06
everything I want Nate man, I'm on.
01:22:08
That is who I want. That is who I think.
01:22:10
And I have said that since Masters the Air came out.
01:22:14
I said he should be and he people don't know who he is.
01:22:17
Did you guys know his name was Nate man?
01:22:19
Did you know you kind of recognized him for Masters of
01:22:21
the Air? So we're getting James's thing
01:22:24
in here. So I'm just saying Nate, man,
01:22:26
keep him on your on your radar, people.
01:22:28
If he gets it, I, I will die it I will be dead.
01:22:31
I will be dead, OK? I thought we were all supposed
01:22:34
to be super friends. Are they supposed to be super
01:22:37
friends? Because gun tease that
01:22:39
Peacemakers deep seated dislike of Superman will have ripple
01:22:43
effects across the DCU. It's not just a throwaway gag.
01:22:47
This tension could fuel ideological clashes and
01:22:51
unexpected alliances, especially as the DCU builds towards bigger
01:22:56
crossovers. Peacemakers beef with Superman
01:22:59
is so spicy it might need a justice gang.
01:23:03
The intervention. Hey look, he looks pretty tall
01:23:06
compared to John Cena. About an inch, maybe.
01:23:08
John Cena plays Batman, how about that?
01:23:13
I think John Cena is actually too big to play Batman,
01:23:16
interestingly enough. But Alan Rickson's not.
01:23:19
Oh my God. John Cena's way wider than Alan
01:23:22
Rickson, John Cena, so John Cena is so much more.
01:23:28
Bulky you with this whole Batman thing?
01:23:31
John Cena is so much more bulky than all of them.
01:23:34
John Cena is massive. I don't think he's bigger than
01:23:38
Alan Rickson. I'm sorry.
01:23:39
I don't think he is. I do not think he is.
01:23:42
You can, you can, you know what? You go to your Alan Rickson
01:23:47
little altar and you pray to your God, Alan Rickson, and you
01:23:51
tell him that you're sorry that Ray doesn't think that he should
01:23:56
be Batman. I have said personally, some of
01:23:59
the people that I think he would be and he would just knock the
01:24:02
hell out of it. But I he's not going to be
01:24:05
Batman. He has said it.
01:24:06
James, guys. I know he's not going to be
01:24:08
Batman. I'm saying I still want him to
01:24:09
be Batman. I already know he's not going to
01:24:11
be Batman. He already said he's going to be
01:24:12
another character in the DC in DCU.
01:24:15
Right, he is. So I'm just saying if somebody
01:24:18
just open your mind a little, I would do it with Wonder Woman.
01:24:21
You know I would. I am not asking you to do
01:24:24
anything that I am not willing to do.
01:24:26
James is going to kill. Us.
01:24:27
No, you're trying to kill each other.
01:24:28
I'm like this, like separate. You weren't.
01:24:31
You were like this. You're trying to push this
01:24:33
together. By the way, I.
01:24:36
Love you Phil, I love you. This is not real.
01:24:39
Everyone. We do this all the time.
01:24:42
I am like totally fucking with them.
01:24:44
But you know, I know I, if Alan Rickson were Batman, I would be
01:24:48
100% on board with that. I think that you know, but I
01:24:51
know he's not going to be Batman.
01:24:52
And I think Nate Man would be amazing.
01:24:54
And yes, Jensen Ackles could be an amazing Batman, but he is too
01:24:58
short. He's too short.
01:24:59
He's also too old. Jensen Ackles would be amazing
01:25:03
because he's already played Batman and we already know that
01:25:06
he's a good Batman, but again, he is way too short.
01:25:08
Just for reference, just for reference, Alan Richardson is 6
01:25:13
three, John Cena is 6/1, and just to make things spicy, The
01:25:18
Rock is 6/4. So maybe the Rock should be
01:25:21
Batman, you know what I'm saying?
01:25:23
No, let's do it, Nate. Nate.
01:25:26
Man is 6 feet. He's 6 foot.
01:25:28
I saw that I looked him up already.
01:25:30
That's a, That's a, That's a Hobbit.
01:25:31
That's a Hobbit. You kidding me?
01:25:33
I'm just saying, I still think he's going to.
01:25:36
Yeah, you can wear platform shoes.
01:25:37
Anthony Starr wears platform shoes to play Homelander y'all.
01:25:41
He does, actually. He can fly, so.
01:25:43
Anyways, let's all right, let's let's continue.
01:25:46
I think that this is interesting.
01:25:49
I I do think that Peacemaker having an A hatred or Superman
01:25:53
is an interesting take on it. Just saying.
01:25:56
That's you, Phil, It's me. Oh, this is OK, I'll take it.
01:25:59
Gun is pulling out all the stops and heartstrings.
01:26:02
The Peacemaker Season 2 finale will reportedly deepen the
01:26:05
Superman thread trying to trying tying the Man of Steel more
01:26:09
directly into Peacemakers arc. Whether it's a mention, a
01:26:12
confrontation, or a philosophical clash, James Gunn
01:26:15
promises it'll be meaningful and messy.
01:26:18
Peacemakers got emotional damage and the vendetta that could
01:26:20
power Brainiacs core. I like it.
01:26:24
I'm so enjoying Peacemaker. I absolutely love Peacemaker.
01:26:27
I love everything about this show.
01:26:29
We're going to get into this in a little bit here, but just we
01:26:32
called that reveal from like episode 1.
01:26:34
All three of us. We called that reveal from
01:26:36
episode 1. Yeah, yeah.
01:26:37
And I. We were all like, yeah.
01:26:39
Thursday night I I text Frank and I was like we called it bro
01:26:43
we called it. He got so excited.
01:26:47
It was funny because like when when I did when I did my episode
01:26:51
about Peacemaker, I was like, man, cuz I said I was like, are
01:26:56
you feeling this is a white supremacist like world?
01:26:59
And he was like, yes. And I was like, oh, thank
01:27:01
goodness I'm not alone. Like, you know, is that gonna?
01:27:04
So I think I'm pretty happy that we actually got that payoff.
01:27:07
I mean, he wasn't like James Gunn wasn't hiding it.
01:27:10
He just wasn't saying anything about it, which I find extremely
01:27:13
interesting because the dude talks about everything.
01:27:17
But a lot of times he talks circles, like a lot of times he
01:27:20
will. He will say things that mean
01:27:22
nothing in the moment but then mean something later on.
01:27:26
And he's really good about that. Yeah, that's true.
01:27:28
That's true. I was, that's what I was saying.
01:27:30
I was like, you know, I love that he comes out and he
01:27:33
confirms things and like, if if there's a silly rumor, he's
01:27:36
like, guys, that is not true, stop listening to stuff.
01:27:39
So we don't really get a lot of rumors that are DC now because
01:27:43
of that, which I kind of, I like to speculate, but also I'm like,
01:27:47
well, that's kind of cool. But then we get story time with
01:27:50
James Gunn because he talks about everything.
01:27:52
So even if he's not giving us everything, he is still giving
01:27:57
us stuff. So we get, you know, so I do
01:27:59
love him and I love how out there he is and how he wants to
01:28:02
explain things and make sure people aren't getting their
01:28:05
hopes up for something that's not going to happen.
01:28:07
I do enjoy that, but I'm also like, I kind of want to get my
01:28:10
hopes up a little hopes up. This is definitely a good.
01:28:13
Show to like sword. Yeah, it's this is a good show
01:28:16
to like talk about from a week to week point of view.
01:28:18
But I think he's doing a good job with not throwing it all out
01:28:22
there. Like he's leaving the clues for
01:28:24
us nerds to find and, you know, talk about week to week.
01:28:27
But I know a lot of people who are watching this show, enjoying
01:28:30
it, and they didn't they didn't pick up on it until this latest
01:28:34
episode dropped. So I'm like, OK, cool.
01:28:35
So like, Oh my God. So they're, they're having fun
01:28:38
with it. So it's kind of good for
01:28:39
everybody. I and I like that.
01:28:41
I do like and I like that the the increase in credit scenes
01:28:45
that he does in credit scenes he does in this show.
01:28:49
And then also like with Superman and I'm sure with others, it
01:28:52
isn't something that's moving the story forward necessarily,
01:28:55
but it is something fun that we still like to see.
01:28:58
So I think, and I like that. I like that it, you know,
01:29:01
something like that because back in the day, back in the day,
01:29:04
y'all in credits were like the bloopers or they were just like
01:29:09
some weird scene that they were like, this was really funny, but
01:29:12
we didn't want to keep it in the movie kind of thing.
01:29:14
And so and I like that I've always been a fan of like that.
01:29:17
You know what else I'm a fan of? The enemy of my friend is still
01:29:21
useful or however that saying goes.
01:29:24
Is it the enemy of my enemy is my friend?
01:29:27
Yeah, yeah. The enemy of my friend is my
01:29:29
enemy. Yeah, the enemy of my enemy.
01:29:31
Does useful come in? Does useful come in somewhere
01:29:33
anyway, never mind mid season? This is useful.
01:29:36
Huge DCU cameo and introduced a chilling alternate reality
01:29:41
twist. Fans are still dissecting the
01:29:43
implications, especially as the show leans harder into
01:29:47
multiverse mechanics and moral ambiguity. 1 cameo, one chilling
01:29:52
twist. This episode's got more
01:29:54
dimensions than a Crisis Crossover are.
01:29:57
We going to talk about that. Are we going to see anything?
01:29:59
Well, I mean, I did put the cameo in there because I didn't
01:30:02
know if everybody had seen it or not.
01:30:04
But I, you know, I, I, I was, I feel like all of us were going
01:30:08
down the right path with who we thought might come out like
01:30:12
might be the people like the Cam the big a list cameo, right that
01:30:16
they were going to get. I, I was thinking hero.
01:30:20
I think we all were thinking like, what other heroes would be
01:30:22
in this? And and so we didn't go for,
01:30:25
Hey, what villains could be in this?
01:30:27
Since Peacemaker comes from task force X, maybe an you need a
01:30:31
villain to understand a villain kind of thing.
01:30:35
And so although I think I know. So yeah.
01:30:38
So I I was really excited and happy about seeing the guy.
01:30:45
Oh, it's a guy? What, you know, I, I watched an
01:30:49
interview, I think it was actually Brandon Davis actually
01:30:51
was interviewing James Gunn and they were talking about it and
01:30:54
they were saying how they intentionally put the sets for,
01:30:58
you know, the movie Superman and Peacemaker so close together so
01:31:02
they can pull off things like this.
01:31:04
And James Gunn can be back and forth between the the two the
01:31:08
two sets. So yeah, I thought it was cool.
01:31:10
He said he they even filmed this piece in the middle of filming
01:31:14
Superman, right? So yeah, and like the, there's
01:31:18
like a in the finale, there's like 1 scene that takes place in
01:31:23
the same room as like the all the government types we're in.
01:31:28
And that there's actually a scene there from Peacemaker.
01:31:31
It's the same exact room and they filmed it at the same time
01:31:34
with Superman like so that's why they that's why there's a
01:31:38
picture of both of them in their respective like.
01:31:41
Costumes, yeah. Yeah, inspective like outfits
01:31:44
and so and in a picture together.
01:31:45
So yeah, I do. I mean, if if that cameo is
01:31:49
coming, do you think we're going to get Big Blue?
01:31:51
Supposedly, no. So they're saying that we we
01:31:53
won't get a Big Blue cameo in this, but I mean.
01:31:56
Oh wait, there's we have a story about that.
01:31:58
Never. Mind.
01:31:58
Yeah, I was going to say anything from James Gunn can be
01:32:01
a swerve. So we or, you know, he's, he's
01:32:04
really good about like, hey, you know, saying one thing but not
01:32:08
fully saying something and it ends up being something simple.
01:32:10
So yeah. But like, you know, moving on,
01:32:13
let's let's go ahead and keep moving here because we still
01:32:15
have a lot to cover and not that much time left.
01:32:17
We're in the we're in the peacemaker part of the.
01:32:20
Yeah, yeah. So let's let's go ahead and
01:32:22
continue on here. It's in the comics.
01:32:25
We swear, guys. It really is what we're going to
01:32:27
talk about right now. After speculation that
01:32:29
Peacemaker Season 2 was drawing parallel to real world politics,
01:32:33
James Gunn clarified that the Earth X storyline is rooted in
01:32:36
comics lore, not commentary. Still, the shows themes of
01:32:40
authoritarianism and resistance are hitting pretty hard right
01:32:43
now. Earth X is less Capitol Hill,
01:32:46
more Hall of Justice meets Twilight Zone.
01:32:48
So yeah, I mean, it's not, it's not meant to.
01:32:52
It is meant to be a commentary on what's happening right now,
01:32:54
but it's not meant to be a commentary on what's happening
01:32:55
right now. It is pure James Gunn anti
01:32:58
authoritarian punk. Right.
01:33:00
Like it's this. Regardless of what's happening
01:33:02
in the world right now, he probably still would have wrote
01:33:04
the same story. Oh, yeah.
01:33:05
Well, I mean, but that there is Earth X, is that right?
01:33:09
So it's not like, yeah, so it's it's in the comics.
01:33:12
It's been in the comics for a long time, right.
01:33:15
And yeah, it's just not something that people go, hey,
01:33:18
hey, we're gonna all go to Earth X tonight.
01:33:21
Yeah, they don't do that. That's not something you say.
01:33:23
Yeah, and Yahtzee Superman is something that exists, so.
01:33:29
Yeah, yeah. Again, you know, I think, I
01:33:31
think he planned this a long time ago.
01:33:33
Yeah. And it fits.
01:33:34
And it just happens to be coincidence of whatevers
01:33:38
happening in the world right now.
01:33:39
Nobody talks about the Arrowverse going to Earth X and
01:33:43
and you know the that being an issue even when it happened,
01:33:46
right? We just like, oh, it's a
01:33:47
storyline, so. Whatever it's also keep keep in
01:33:49
mind, look at that. It's like, keep in mind how long
01:33:51
ago they filmed this and then on top of that, how long ago he
01:33:55
wrote this. Yeah, because he wrote season 2
01:33:58
way long time ago, before everything that's going on in
01:34:01
the world right now. Like so anybody who's sitting
01:34:03
there saying like, Oh yeah, no, he wrote this because of this is
01:34:06
like, that's not how writing works.
01:34:07
This this stuff was this stuff was done a long time ago.
01:34:09
This, like I said, this story would have been the same
01:34:12
regardless of the time that it was done.
01:34:14
If this would if this movie would have been made 10 or the
01:34:16
show would have been made ten years ago, it would have been
01:34:18
the same exact story. You know what that means,
01:34:21
though. The Earth X.
01:34:23
You know what we're going to get?
01:34:24
I I really hope. We're going to get to our next
01:34:27
story because it's going to tell us right now.
01:34:28
Right. I really hope we do get here.
01:34:30
I, I, I I'm going to comment after you say something.
01:34:33
Go, go, go, go. Read, read, read, read.
01:34:35
GI robot and big vig vigilante that together A bromance made in
01:34:40
a laugh. James Gunn revealed that the
01:34:42
alternate dimension storyline of peacemaker was inspired by Cold
01:34:46
War paranoia and dystopian fiction.
01:34:48
And yes, GI robot is officially making his live action debut,
01:34:53
adding pulp sci-fi weirdness to the already chaotic mix.
01:34:58
GI Robots live action debut proves guns pulling characters
01:35:02
from the deepest corners of the DC Vault.
01:35:05
Next up that count. Did he?
01:35:09
He didn't say whether GI Robot ends up in Peacemaker or not,
01:35:13
right? No, but he said that he is going
01:35:15
to make a live action. Right.
01:35:16
He is No, he, he is going to be in Peacemaker.
01:35:19
Is he? He said it in the director's
01:35:21
commentary of Spider Man or Not Spider Man of Superman and yeah,
01:35:25
said that he's making his live action debut and.
01:35:28
From what I understood is that he said that GI Robot's making a
01:35:31
live action debut, but then he said it's not going to be in
01:35:34
Peacemaker. So I don't know, I'm confused on
01:35:36
that. I thought he said it wasn't.
01:35:38
Then he said I can't say anything else because I don't
01:35:40
know when this commentary is coming out.
01:35:42
He thought the commentary would be out after Peacemakers finale.
01:35:46
So. Interesting.
01:35:48
I mean, it makes sense. It makes sense tying everything
01:35:51
together, especially with Rick Flag senior.
01:35:53
Well, and so my thing was about that, my thing.
01:35:56
So Husby said he was like, well, is he going to be alternate in
01:36:01
the alternate world like Planet X or Earth X?
01:36:03
Or is he going to be from the DCU core world?
01:36:07
And that's and and he's going to go backwards.
01:36:09
Ivy is going to be from the core world and they're going to take
01:36:12
him to the other one. That's what I that's what I'm
01:36:15
hoping for. I'm hoping that it's not a full
01:36:17
on GI Roe robot shows up in in the show.
01:36:21
I want it to be like at the very, very, very end.
01:36:24
The post credits scene of the entire show is Rick Flagg senior
01:36:27
brings GI robot to to Earth X and it just ends on him going
01:36:31
Nazis. Yeah, you can infer.
01:36:34
That amazing. That you can.
01:36:35
You can infer that GI robot just basically killed everybody in
01:36:39
Earth X. He just opens the door, lets him
01:36:42
in and then Nazis and then door closes and that's it.
01:36:46
Oh boy. Nazis.
01:36:48
I mean that. I think that would be great if
01:36:51
we got a GI robot from Earth X. Can you imagine?
01:36:55
And then like him and Vigilante are BFF, like Vigilante thinks
01:37:00
he and Pacemaker BFF. That would be also pretty fun.
01:37:03
Could be like Sons of Liberty type thing.
01:37:06
Like maybe they programmed, yeah.
01:37:08
I really think vigilante like I I think that that that we're
01:37:13
going to see like Husby said that he thought, what if like
01:37:16
Liotta, I call her Liotta. Everybody else calls her autobio
01:37:19
or ads autobio and Amanda Waller are like the head of the Sons of
01:37:26
Liberty and like, you know, that would be kind of cool.
01:37:29
And so, like all the Anyway, we're going to a.
01:37:31
Little too deep in that. I was thinking that too.
01:37:33
I I think I mentioned that on to Frank on challenge accepted the
01:37:37
same, the same. Yeah, I think you did.
01:37:39
Yeah, I remember listening to it.
01:37:41
I think you did, yeah. All right, who's got the next
01:37:43
one? Is it me?
01:37:43
I believe it's you, Sir. All right, Superman looms large.
01:37:47
I mean, hey, he's 6 foot 4, definitely taller than Batman.
01:37:52
James Gunn confirmed that David Cornswat's Superman does not
01:37:56
appear in Peacemaker season 2, but his presence is felt.
01:38:01
The character looms large in the narrative, shaping Peacemaker's
01:38:04
worldview and the show's broader DCU connection.
01:38:08
Superman's off screen, but his Cape casts a shadow longer than
01:38:13
the Daily Planet building. All right, so kind of answered
01:38:16
our questions, our speculation. Yeah.
01:38:18
No soups. Yeah, no soups in Peacemaker.
01:38:21
I'm OK with that. Yeah.
01:38:21
I mean, I don't necessarily need to see Superman in the thing in
01:38:25
the show, but I mean, like the references are good enough.
01:38:28
I mean, we've already seen multiple characters from the
01:38:30
movie show up in this show connecting the universe.
01:38:33
So I don't necessarily need to see Superman in it.
01:38:36
Yeah, he's probably on the moon with crypto hanging out, right?
01:38:39
Yeah, maybe that's maybe he, he's like watching Peacemaker be
01:38:43
an idiot up there with crypto. Like, you know, in that post
01:38:47
credit scene for Superman, that's part of the next story
01:38:51
that Phil has. Let's let's move right along.
01:38:55
So we're going to jump into this last story here.
01:38:58
It wasn't there's two, but it wasn't our it it it wasn't the
01:39:01
best transition, but it oh, sorry, very Sissy.
01:39:04
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry, $13 million.
01:39:07
I mean, views. Is that OK?
01:39:12
Superman is officially soared, racking up 13 million views in
01:39:16
its first ten days on HBO Max. That makes it the platform's
01:39:20
biggest movie launch since Barbie and a major and a major
01:39:25
win for guns. DCU roll out with David Corn
01:39:27
Sweat in the Cape and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane.
01:39:30
The film's blend of optimism and action is striking A chord
01:39:35
faster than a speeding bullet, stronger than Bobby's.
01:39:38
Barbie's box office, this Superman's flying high.
01:39:40
And for all the people who are complaining online about how
01:39:44
much Superman is not as good as Snyder, shut up.
01:39:48
It's it's I kind of already knew that it was going to just
01:39:52
massively destroy streaming records because people don't
01:39:55
want movies right now, you know, and people.
01:39:57
Want to stay home? Nobody wants to go outside.
01:40:00
The other thing is the the the pandemic got all of us used to
01:40:04
the idea of hey I've got a really nice TV and I've got the
01:40:08
streaming service. Why pay 15 to $20.00 for a
01:40:11
ticket with you know, $40 worth of snacks when I can just make
01:40:14
snacks at home and watch the movie when it comes out and
01:40:17
streaming in like 3 months? And bonus, no palm oil.
01:40:19
Right. So, so again, with all the
01:40:22
people who are complaining online saying that, oh, well,
01:40:26
Zack Snyder's Man of Steel made so much more money with
01:40:30
inflation that they sold so many more tickets.
01:40:32
That doesn't matter in this world where we're in right now,
01:40:36
because in the world we're in right now, people don't want to
01:40:38
spend the money. On top of that, we don't got
01:40:40
that much money to spend right. Right.
01:40:42
And we're about to be in the world of tomorrow.
01:40:43
Who's got the next? One Clark and Lex and Brainy
01:40:47
shut up and take my money. James Gunn just shared a photo
01:40:51
of the completed Man of Tomorrow.
01:40:54
I mean, just share it. It's been a week script, and
01:40:56
fans immediately zoomed in on the details, especially the not
01:41:01
so subtle hint that Brainiac may be the sequel's villain.
01:41:04
With Superman already a streaming juggernaut, this
01:41:08
follow up promises to go bigger, weirder, and way more cerebral.
01:41:13
If Brainiacs in play expect cosmic stakes, AI dread, and a
01:41:17
test of Superman's compassion versus cold logic, Brains and
01:41:21
Brown find a way to coexist, to takedown our AI overlord.
01:41:26
I bet it gets punchy. I hope it does.
01:41:29
I, I've been waiting so long for Brainiac to be on screen and
01:41:33
the, the, the idea that we may be getting Brainiac 'cause it's
01:41:36
not confirmed, but we all assume based on visuals and the way
01:41:40
that he's described the script, that we're going to see
01:41:42
Brainiac. I, I, I'm, I'm more curious
01:41:45
about how he is going to introduce the character and what
01:41:49
version of Brainiac we're going to get.
01:41:50
Yeah, I. I was thinking about that about
01:41:53
that too, is that I think man of tomorrow is not obviously not
01:41:57
Superman. They're talking about Brainiac
01:41:59
and the man of tomorrow because he's, you know, the
01:42:02
technological fire achievement that a lot of people want.
01:42:07
Elon Musk. I'm looking at you anyway.
01:42:09
I I, you know, we said like we tagged this, I said, I think
01:42:13
it's Brainiac. Like we were talking about when
01:42:15
they came out with Jim, when Jim Lee did that little drawing of
01:42:19
Superman and and Lex and Lex is in his green and purple suit.
01:42:22
I said Lex doesn't get in his green and purple suit until
01:42:25
Brainiac. And Phil, you were right there
01:42:27
with me. James, were you there?
01:42:28
I think you were. I think you were there.
01:42:29
I think we all agreed on that. I think it's going to be
01:42:31
Brainiac. I love this idea.
01:42:33
I think Brainiac is the one that we need to do because it gives
01:42:36
Lex and it gives Bark a reason to team.
01:42:38
Up correct. I 100% agree with all that.
01:42:41
There's there's like almost no notes on that because it is it's
01:42:45
Brainiac is 1A new villain that we haven't seen on screen and
01:42:49
that's something that we need. We don't want to rehash the same
01:42:51
villain we've been seeing in every movie. 2 He is the only
01:42:55
threat that will cause Superman and Lex to work together.
01:42:59
It's like Apocalypse for the Brotherhood and the X-Men, you
01:43:02
know? Yes, absolutely.
01:43:03
Right, it is the one character that will make Lex almost put
01:43:08
aside the amount of loathing he has for Superman because he
01:43:11
understands the threat that brainiac like poses.
01:43:13
And in this being that they make this the next like Superman,
01:43:18
like it's not necessarily a Superman movie, but it kind of
01:43:22
is a Superman movie where Superman and Lexer are kind of
01:43:25
the Co leads. We already have established
01:43:29
James Gunn and Peter Safran have established that the cosmic is
01:43:33
already there the way he introduced Superman.
01:43:38
We've got a Green Lantern already that has been
01:43:41
established that we know of Hot girl.
01:43:44
We don't know where she gets her little screeching thing from.
01:43:47
And like, you know, so there's a lot, you know, there are pocket
01:43:50
universes. Everybody seems to be fairly
01:43:53
comfortable with cosmic stuff. So having Brainiac in the second
01:43:58
movie is actually a really good idea because he's cosmic.
01:44:03
And so we bring not just tease it a little, but we actually
01:44:07
bring cosmic in there. Hey, this is a threat from the
01:44:10
cosmos to Earth. So we need heroes that can stand
01:44:14
up to a cosmic threat. So we may see Green Lanterns in
01:44:18
there. We may see other people in there
01:44:20
that are are more with a cosmic rat then you know, then you know
01:44:25
our street level heroes like Batman or so I it it really
01:44:30
makes a lot of sense. And having girls.
01:44:31
Going to be out there in space, You know, we're bringing space
01:44:34
to us. Lobo's probably going to be in
01:44:36
it. And having them all team up in a
01:44:38
way where they have to fight, they 'cause this, this gives you
01:44:41
an excuse to have the Justice League have to come together
01:44:43
because Brainiac is that level threat there.
01:44:45
There's there's three major villains in DC that you can
01:44:50
coalesce a Justice League movie around.
01:44:52
Brainiac is 1. Dark Side is another Mongol the
01:44:55
Conqueror. So I mean, you know, and I I
01:44:56
need Mongol the Conqueror at some point because he is such a
01:44:59
badass. Yeah, absolutely.
01:45:01
If the Rock comes back, I actually wouldn't mind the Rock
01:45:03
playing Mongol the Conqueror. It's not bad.
01:45:05
He's got the tights. Or dark side.
01:45:07
I think he could play a good dark side actually, because he's
01:45:10
got that really deep voice and he can do that deep and and he,
01:45:14
you know, I'm he doesn't look like concrete.
01:45:17
I always thought that dark side look kind of concrete.
01:45:19
But yeah, he could play. He'd be really good.
01:45:24
But Mongol has the charisma and that's where I think the rock
01:45:27
would be do well as Mongol. Does Mongol play a little
01:45:30
ukulele? In tights.
01:45:33
In purple tights. In tights.
01:45:34
In purple tights. I mean, he probably does while
01:45:37
he's in Los Angeles. Well, let's, let's do this,
01:45:42
guys. From Crandon's Tombstone debut
01:45:45
to Guns, Batman wishlist and Brainiac teases, the fandom
01:45:48
furnace is blazing. It's time for geek for the Geek
01:45:51
End update where cosplay meets crowd control.
01:45:54
Pop culture pulse goes live. Ladies and gentlemen, let's get
01:45:59
it on. All right, LA Comic Con
01:46:11
September 26th through the 28th at the Convention Center down in
01:46:15
LA. So let's talk about it.
01:46:17
This is one of the biggest events of the year.
01:46:20
Young Phil the Long's Tyler well, they were all there.
01:46:24
Can't wait to hear about it because the pictures, the images
01:46:27
were great. The panels were amazing.
01:46:29
So let's get the de Long's on here.
01:46:31
Let's talk. About Well, ladies and
01:46:32
gentlemen, please welcome back our con aficionados, our con
01:46:37
correspondents, our creative juggernauts.
01:46:42
Ladies and gentlemen, it's the Long Family cosplay.
01:46:49
Creative juggernaut? That's a new one.
01:46:51
I mean, that's the only way you can really describe Jeff is he's
01:46:54
a creative juggernaut. Yeah.
01:46:57
So guys, we, we, we, we did LA Comic Con this weekend.
01:47:01
It was absolutely amazing. The show was really good.
01:47:05
They changed the layout this year.
01:47:06
Hold on, hold on, let's pull back because Delong's Wasn't
01:47:10
this your first LA Comic Con? Yes.
01:47:13
OK, let's let's talk about this. Let's set it up a little bit
01:47:16
because we know you've been to a gazillion cons.
01:47:20
Has was this the biggest con as far as like square footage that
01:47:25
you've been to? Hard to say now since SAC anime
01:47:29
has expanded to like 4 buildings also.
01:47:31
Silicon. Oh yeah, and silicon when it was
01:47:34
still a thing, that was pretty huge Paramorphicon to me.
01:47:39
Last year we went for the first time.
01:47:40
That seemed humongous. So this is just up there, all
01:47:46
right. This is just up there with being
01:47:47
one of the big ones. So I want to know about your
01:47:50
experience, like getting there, seeing what it's like going to,
01:47:54
you know, a con down in LA and you know, things are always so
01:47:57
spread out. So what was it?
01:47:58
What was like getting to LA Comic Con?
01:48:01
The drive was nice, I mean we I've driven to LA before so the
01:48:04
drive was pretty decent. Normal didn't die.
01:48:09
Always good. Yeah.
01:48:10
When we got there it was it was nice it was good.
01:48:13
The first night we were there we got to walk around, we got to
01:48:17
see some friends that we. Some we knew were going to be
01:48:20
there already, some we knew like a couple days before we were
01:48:23
like, wait, you're going you're going to be actually in LA Comic
01:48:27
Con. So like a project Bush Upon A
01:48:29
Star was obviously there because they're always there.
01:48:32
And then they were met, teamed up with Geek Saga, and that was
01:48:35
really cool to hang out and see them.
01:48:37
And then our my favorite clothing designers, the Grumpy
01:48:41
Cookies, were there and had a booth, which was totally awesome
01:48:44
to see and so happy for them that a small independent company
01:48:48
was able to get in to LA Comic Con all the way out from
01:48:51
Sacramento. And of course, our friend Cindy
01:48:54
Rue Cosplays had two different panels related to cosplay and we
01:48:59
went and saw them to support. Awesome.
01:49:01
Yeah. What did you think of the What
01:49:03
did you think of the exhibit floor?
01:49:05
The floor was good. They divided it into two spots
01:49:09
this time actually three spots. So there was the like main
01:49:13
floor, which was like all the people selling just vendor
01:49:17
standard vendor type stuff and then downstairs they put the
01:49:21
artist alley and then like wrapped around the other side of
01:49:24
the building there there was the horror section.
01:49:27
So we ended up getting to those three.
01:49:29
There was also a gaming section and a whole nother hall.
01:49:32
We never got that far, but we did get through those main 3
01:49:35
halls right there. Umm, we let's see, there was, I
01:49:40
mean there was a lot like down in the lower area.
01:49:43
This is one of the vendors from the lower area.
01:49:47
There from the. Friend of the show Jay Photos
01:49:49
who's been on the show. And then there was all these
01:49:52
right here are really dope statues that were up on the main
01:49:54
floor. Umm, there are a whole booths
01:49:57
selling these things and the freaking quality gone on this so
01:50:00
high. But umm, we I did end up buying
01:50:04
I I got merch. He got.
01:50:06
Merch. Ewoks are better than Hobbit.
01:50:11
Oh wow. Wait, what is it?
01:50:13
I can't. Hold on, I'm gonna put them on.
01:50:14
The screen it's called Ewoks are Better than Hobbits by a creator
01:50:18
called Johnny P313. So cool.
01:50:22
And then me and Phil on our way out on the last day, both got
01:50:25
little tiny metal Metal Ultron comics, so that was awesome.
01:50:31
How? How bad was the Bo?
01:50:32
Not bad, I didn't. I didn't.
01:50:34
Really, it wasn't super bad. There were like some people
01:50:36
every now and then that would like walk by and then just waft
01:50:40
Bo. But I mean like it it.
01:50:41
It wasn't like super, super bad where like, you know, you just
01:50:44
that constantly inhaling body odor.
01:50:46
Yeah, there was no room, OK. Good, good.
01:50:48
But I I did get to save our tax. He did get to save our tax.
01:50:53
So I'm going to get into to our food journey here in a minute.
01:50:56
But like, yeah, so they, they, they shortened the main hall.
01:51:00
So like on the left side, they kind of like cut it, cut, cut
01:51:03
pieces of it off. But they put like artist Alley
01:51:05
was physically bigger. They, they didn't put Artist
01:51:08
Alley in the main hall and they put it in Kentia Hall, which is
01:51:10
downstairs and Cantia Hall, like Artist Alley was way bigger than
01:51:15
it's been in years past. They also put all of the
01:51:18
celebrities and the photo OPS down there.
01:51:21
So they, the celebrities and the photo OPS were down there with
01:51:23
all of the Artist Alley, which was kind of cool.
01:51:26
So it gave a reason to get down to the artist alley right away
01:51:30
from the exhibit floor. Right.
01:51:32
It focused on our artist alley a lot more.
01:51:34
It's just thing is that we didn't know where it was until
01:51:36
like Sunday. Oh, interesting.
01:51:38
Yeah. And that's partially us not
01:51:40
paying attention because there's a big sign when you walk in.
01:51:42
This is Artist Alley. You can't see a hall downstairs.
01:51:45
Oh, OK. We also didn't know about the
01:51:48
horror area until Saturday night when we were leaving from the
01:51:51
screening. We went.
01:51:53
To right so where photo? OPS, they had horse.
01:51:55
Yes, they had horse. I didn't know LA did horse.
01:51:58
I thought that was Vegas. LALA the literally Figueroa is
01:52:01
nothing but horse. OK, anyways on the side.
01:52:05
Which was horror. Scary stuff.
01:52:07
But no, So what they did was so where where photo OPS used to
01:52:13
be, they they put like a whole like horror section there.
01:52:17
So it was like, you know, anyone that had like horror themed
01:52:22
anything and then they put like a like a like a carnival
01:52:25
experience in there with like a bunch of like actors playing
01:52:28
like, you know, evil clowns and stuff.
01:52:30
That's what you see at the end of this the.
01:52:31
Car the carnival. Like Carnival, Yeah, Yeah.
01:52:34
So that was really cool. There was like a bunch of clowns
01:52:37
wandering around. That's I got dude at the end.
01:52:39
There's a handful of other ones. There's one chick that was
01:52:42
really tall and stilt collecting a tooth cap.
01:52:45
So if you gave her a tooth, you would get pretty merch from
01:52:49
them. They the haunted car wash seemed
01:52:53
to be like the like thinner focal point of the whole thing.
01:52:56
And then they also in the like, very back of it, they had like a
01:53:01
little haunted carnival, haunted house thing that you'd go
01:53:03
through, right? Right now, W Hall, which was
01:53:06
always been gaming, they put something there called Akiva
01:53:10
Station. And Akiva Station basically was
01:53:14
a focus on anime. So when I was talking with with
01:53:18
Nicole James, you know Nicole, when I was talking with Nicole
01:53:21
at the end of the show, she said W Hall was the busiest it's ever
01:53:25
been in the 15 years they've been doing the show.
01:53:27
And it's because they added Akiba Station to it.
01:53:30
And Akiba Station, just like it, attracted a lot of people to the
01:53:33
anime side, which also put a lot into the gaming side.
01:53:36
So they said that this is easily one of the biggest shows that
01:53:40
they've done in the last 15 years, which is also gonna give
01:53:44
them an excuse to expand next year.
01:53:45
Awesome, glad to see the shows doing well.
01:53:48
Yeah, that's awesome. So I mean, it was, it was, it
01:53:50
was really cool. You know, again, we, we went to
01:53:53
a whole bunch of panels, you know, we, we got some
01:53:57
interviews. Now the interviews, I wanted to
01:54:00
tell this whole thing right here.
01:54:01
It happened by chance. So I was walking where I thought
01:54:06
artist Sally was supposed to be, right?
01:54:08
And I'm just like, oh, there's a lot of vendors, but I don't see
01:54:10
the artists like what's going on here.
01:54:12
And I look over as I'm walking by this big, just this big
01:54:15
massive booth and friend of the show, Bobby Costanzo's there,
01:54:20
Harvey Bullock from Batman the Animated series.
01:54:22
Nice. And so I'm like, oh, let me go
01:54:26
stop by and say what's up, What's up to Bobby, Right.
01:54:29
So I I I go say hi to him. At first he doesn't Remember Me,
01:54:33
which I kind of expected because he probably.
01:54:35
We interviewed him at Gem State Comic Con like a couple years.
01:54:38
Two years ago, yeah. So I reminded him yeah, no, I
01:54:40
was the guy who interviewed you on stage at at Gem State two
01:54:44
years ago. And then he remembered me.
01:54:45
He was. Oh yeah, that's right.
01:54:46
I remember, remember doing that interview and, you know, he got
01:54:48
excited and I was like, yeah, it's, it's online if you ever
01:54:50
want to listen to it. Right.
01:54:51
So the guy sitting next to him, who I think is his handler,
01:54:54
wink, wink, I think is his handler is like, Oh yeah, can
01:54:58
can we find that anywhere? And I was like, yeah, it's at
01:55:00
distance nerding. If anywhere where you find
01:55:04
podcasts, you can download that. And so he was like, OK, cool,
01:55:08
I'll check it out. And I was like, no, I'll do you
01:55:09
one better, man. I'll send it to you right now.
01:55:11
So I end up using Airplay and, and sending it to him and he got
01:55:19
really excited 'cause he was like, oh man, I get to listen.
01:55:21
This is gonna be cool. We're doing a show in Dallas
01:55:23
next week and this is gonna, I'm driving as soon as we're done
01:55:26
here. So I'm gonna go and listen to
01:55:28
that. Thanks for sending that to me.
01:55:29
He goes, by the way, my name is James and I run this booth, this
01:55:34
table. If there's anybody you want to
01:55:35
get in the interviews with over the weekend, I've got 7
01:55:38
different people or 9 different people from Batman that are here
01:55:40
right now. Awesome.
01:55:42
And I, I, I, I shit you not that my, when my, when I say my eyes
01:55:46
widened and I look like a, a kid in a candy store.
01:55:49
As soon as he mentioned that I want really, really.
01:55:51
And I start looking around because I didn't notice anybody
01:55:54
else besides Bobby because I had focused on just Bobby, right.
01:55:57
And so, yeah, you know, he goes, hey, yeah, ask anybody who's
01:56:01
here if they want to do an interview and as long as they
01:56:04
have time, then then we can do that.
01:56:06
So I end up getting Frank Power, who is director, writer,
01:56:09
storyboard, storyboard director for for Batman the Animated
01:56:13
Series and Gargoyles and a bunch of other things.
01:56:15
I end up getting Stan Berkowitz, whose episode is out right now.
01:56:18
Stan Berkowitz was a a writer and A and a story editor.
01:56:24
And then Diane Pershing, Poison Ivy herself.
01:56:27
That's awesome. That's awesome.
01:56:29
Right and, and Ingrid Alou, who is Renee Montoya.
01:56:34
Wow, the original Renee Montoya and, and you know, I go go do
01:56:40
research and everything like that.
01:56:41
All of them enjoyed the interview, but me and Ingrid
01:56:43
really connected because funny enough, she's from LA, but she
01:56:46
knows a lot of people in San Francisco.
01:56:48
She's Nicaraguan. Oh, and I'm also Nicaraguan.
01:56:51
So we connected on that, right? And, and, and that was when
01:56:56
once, once the interview comes out, you guys will hear that,
01:56:58
but like, you know, we've really connected on that and, and like
01:57:00
on, on a, on a pretty deep level.
01:57:02
And it was, it was just really cool having that.
01:57:05
And then on top of that, you know, we went to go see a, a
01:57:08
movie. We were just walking by a booth
01:57:10
on Saturday for about two hours. We were actually in our costumes
01:57:13
and we walked by a booth and this guy stops us and he's like,
01:57:16
Hey, you guys are Deadpools. Well, this guy was in Deadpool,
01:57:19
right? And it's Hugh Scott, who he
01:57:22
makes the What's her name? Meredith.
01:57:27
Meredith. Baxter.
01:57:28
Meredith Bernie Baxter So he makes the He's the one that
01:57:30

01:57:32
Baxter in the first Deadpool movie.
01:57:34
Meredith. Baxter, Bernie.
01:57:35
Meredith Baxter Bernie. Yeah, right.
01:57:37
You know, he's the one where he goes, I want to get a Dutch oven
01:57:39
by Meredith Baxter Bernie. And he goes, I want to give him
01:57:42
the Dutch oven to Meredith Baxter.
01:57:44
Bernie, you know, he, he's the dude that makes that joke,
01:57:48
right? He's like his friend in jail,
01:57:50
right? When, when or when they're in
01:57:51
the, the facility. So I, we talked to Hugh Scott.
01:57:55
We go watch this movie and he gives me his personal number
01:57:58
and, and you know, he's gonna book on the show.
01:58:01

01:58:28
ended up having like a lot of good interactions.
01:58:30
We met a lot of creators, a lot of people booked on the show.
01:58:33
I met another podcaster that she was very eccentric, but she was
01:58:37
very fun, right? Steffi Schultz Sharky.
01:58:41
Sharky, right? And it's funny because at the
01:58:44
end of the show, when I was saying bye to Darren and
01:58:47
everybody at Project Wish, she made her way over to Project
01:58:50

01:58:54
And she's having a conversation with them.
01:58:56
Doesn't notice that I'm there. I'm like, hey, Steffi.

01:59:02
and she booked on the show as well because I was telling her,
01:59:04
you know, I want to promote your podcast because she's all about
01:59:07

01:59:10
positivity. So I, I, I, I love the idea of
01:59:12
that. And I was like, I, I need you on
01:59:13
the show. So, yeah, we, we connected with
01:59:16
a lot of good people over the show.
01:59:17

filmmaker. So I mean, she's in, she's in a
01:59:29
lot of stuff. Yeah, that's awesome.
01:59:31
So it sounds like you met a lot of people.
01:59:32

01:59:40

so we had a we had a really good time with that as well.
02:00:44
So I mean, again, the show was great.
02:00:47
I saw the guys from comics. They actually saw me on the con
02:00:49
floor as I was walking around. They stopped me and we had a
02:00:51
nice conversation for a little bit.
02:00:53
I talked to Eugene over at Geek Saga for a little while.
02:00:57
He had some trivia going on over at Project Wish.
02:01:00
He had his own like little space section, which was kind of cool.
02:01:03
Of course. Saw everybody at Project Wish,
02:01:06
you know, love seeing Darren, love seeing V.
02:01:08
They're amazing and everything. They do their thing that they're
02:01:11
selling this year 'cause you know, they always sell creative
02:01:13
stuff. A cereal box that was like a
02:01:15
Project Wish upon A Star cereal box but on the inside it comes
02:01:18
with a custom bowl and spoon that had like like like old
02:01:24
school Hanna Barbera cartoon characters on it.
02:01:26
That's fun and. Oh awesome.
02:01:28
And they were random too, so it wasn't like you couldn't get the
02:01:31
same 1 twice. Oh that's so cool, I love Hanna
02:01:34
old Hanna Barbera. I had the lunch box and I still
02:01:37
have the thermos from my lunch box.
02:01:39
That was the Hanna Barbera. Nice.
02:01:41
I'll have to. I'll get it out at some point
02:01:43
and I'll show it. To you guys.
02:01:44
So yeah, the, the show in general LA Comic Con was
02:01:46
amazing. It was it was really good.
02:01:49
Again, we, we took a lot of pictures.
02:01:51
We tried to get as many cosplay pictures as we could as we were
02:01:53
walking around when we weren't like stressed about getting to
02:01:56
the next, you know, panel or, you know, setting up the next
02:01:59
interview or something like that.
02:02:01
It's it's kind of like once you actually start setting
02:02:03
everything up, you you start to realize that there's not enough
02:02:07
time in the weekend to do everything you want.
02:02:09
Right. Right.
02:02:10
Oh, I also talked to Kevin Altieri, the, the, the Art God
02:02:15
of Batman, the Animated Series himself.
02:02:17
And he, he, after having a conversation with him, he saw
02:02:21
the interaction I had with a lot of people at the booth.
02:02:23
He was like, dude, I would love to do your show because you guys
02:02:25
sound like really fun awesome. Because there's two, there's two
02:02:29
people that aside from, you know, Bruce Tim and, and, and,
02:02:33
and Paul Dini that made that show possible.
02:02:36
And that was Andrea Romano and Kevin Altieri.
02:02:40
That's awesome. So, so tell me more.
02:02:41
I mean, we've been talking about a bunch of different stuff.
02:02:43
Tell me more. Tell me about the after party.
02:02:47
You said you went out and you did a lot of food stuff.
02:02:50
So the after party was absolutely terrible and I I
02:02:52
don't want to I know I don't I don't want to do on that.
02:02:55
It it, it wasn't just. Didn't live up to what you
02:02:58
wanted? Yeah, It wasn't really our
02:03:00
thing, which is it's fine, but we did do a lot of food
02:03:07
exploration to the point where, you know, we don't always do
02:03:10
food posts for our food journeys that we do at the con.
02:03:15
But I had to make a food post. So I'm going to read this to you
02:03:18
guys here because just like the way I wrote it, I actually
02:03:21
really liked it. So this weekend's food journey
02:03:24
at Comic Con LA was amazing. We start off at on Friday with
02:03:27
our traditional scum and villainy cantina visit.
02:03:29
Got food, got drinks, and Jeff saved our tax revisionist
02:03:32
history. Do we all get OK?
02:03:34
Yeah, he's showing our tax right there.
02:03:36
Saturday morning we hit Breakfast Republic and the food
02:03:39
was also super amazing. Worth a visit if you're in LA.
02:03:42
So shout out to Breakfast Republic.
02:03:44
Sunday morning we went to Duchess DTLA and got some
02:03:48
awesome breakfast and coffee. The sandwiches were really good.
02:03:51
Probably one of the best breakfast chicken sandwiches
02:03:53
I've ever had in a long time. I do apologize I didn't get a
02:03:57
pic but but I forgot. But it's definitely worth or
02:04:01
definitely going to be our new breakfast spot after a night at
02:04:03
Scum and Villainy. Check them out.
02:04:04
And their orchata donut was bomb AF.
02:04:08
We then went to Trejos tacos. That's right.
02:04:11
Boom, look at that right there. Danny Trejos Taco Taco place
02:04:14
Sunday night for dinner and it was absolutely delicious and
02:04:17
flavorful. That's an issue when you run
02:04:19
into some restaurants. There's not enough flavor, but
02:04:22
they didn't really have that problem.
02:04:23
The problems the the flavors were amazing.
02:04:25
I recommend eating carnitas or the barbacoa on anything.
02:04:28
And the breakfast tacos are so worth getting.
02:04:30
Last, but definitely definitely not least.
02:04:33
And this is my favorite breakfast the entire weekend.
02:04:35
Our breakfast on the way out was from egg tuck and it was heaven
02:04:38
in an egg. The fluffiest eggs I've ever had
02:04:41
in my life. Super crispy bacon and the
02:04:43
coffee had amazing flavor in comparison to other places I've
02:04:45
been to. Overall, we made no bad choices
02:04:49
on food or and, and, and I had to shout out Jeff and and Sandra
02:04:52
because they picked all the food, did all the research.
02:04:55
You know, they made no bad choices on all the food that we
02:04:58
went to. It was absolutely amazing.
02:05:00
Now also we did do our traditional our and for erics
02:05:05
birthday, we all got the Trejo savesa, which is like a Mexican
02:05:11
logger. So we got that in honor of Eric
02:05:13
and we to text him a picture just because we wanted to make
02:05:16
sure that we're getting a drink in his honor.
02:05:18
But also so we all did our traditional what's the name of
02:05:24
the drink? No.
02:05:26
No. The Yeah.
02:05:28
I know he got a sticker of it, but Jeff, if you look at his
02:05:32
face right there, looks like a freaking war boy.
02:05:34
Hold on, the amount of silver on his face?
02:05:38
Oh man. Yeah, that's it.
02:05:39
Witness me. Yeah, we got the.
02:05:42
Witness me. Witness me hiriosa.
02:05:45
So hold on, you went to Scum and Villainy.
02:05:47
How was it? Tell us about your experience at
02:05:49
Scum and Villainy. We got food, we got drinks.
02:05:52
Not going to fully go into everything but yes I am.
02:05:56
Sandra had a drink and 1/2 and was absolutely ripped for the
02:06:00
entire night whereas me and Jeff had like 10 drinks and we were
02:06:04
fine. I did not eat beforehand I said
02:06:08
that. None of none of us did, but none
02:06:10
of us ripped like. That, well, I had 13 that was.
02:06:15
Kind of some weak sauce there, Sandra.
02:06:16
Betty. I had an empty stomach.
02:06:21
Y'all did. Also, Tyler has a new nickname.
02:06:24
Yes, Tyler has a new nickname. Tyler Tyler has a new nickname.
02:06:28
I cannot. It is Tiny Tot.
02:06:30
I am not I, I cannot say how he got that nickname on air because
02:06:35
it's not not kosher, but ohh, I will tell you guys that story.
02:06:39
That is his new nickname moving forward.
02:06:41
Gotcha. But also when we got down there
02:06:43
Friday, Till decided he needed a haircut, so the rest of us got
02:06:47
bored and wandered into a video game shop.
02:06:49
Oh. King of Games.
02:06:51
Yeah, we had to kill two hours, so yeah, yeah.
02:06:54
Yeah, so I ended up grabbing Sega Genesis Arrow monsters, got
02:06:59
Rd. Rash for Genesis.
02:07:00
Uh huh. And forced.
02:07:02
Underneath, look at that. I got, of course, for Super
02:07:07
Nintendo Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
02:07:09
Nice. Yeah, also for the Sega or Super
02:07:13
Nintendo Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the movie.
02:07:16
Is that with the gold gold Ranger or white Ranger?
02:07:19
Is he gold Ranger or white Ranger in that he's white
02:07:21
Ranger? Yep, that.
02:07:22
Was Ivan News? Yay.
02:07:24
That's right. So yeah, guys, overall we had,
02:07:27
we had a great weekend. The just the experience in
02:07:30
itself was elevated to another level.
02:07:34
I think part of it is just because the amount of access
02:07:36
that we have now in comparison to what we've had years before.
02:07:39
And just yeah, and, and, and some of the friends that we had,
02:07:43
again, shout out to Joe Jekyll Meyer.
02:07:45
He gave me his entire schedule of everything that he was of all
02:07:48
the times he was on stage. We tried to go out and support
02:07:50
him as much as we could. Shout out to Jamie Girak.
02:07:53
We went out to her panel and tried to support her.
02:07:56
Shout out to Cindy Rue cosplay. We went and supported her, her
02:07:59
panels, you know, we we tried to support our friends as much as
02:08:04
we could while we were there, given everything else that was
02:08:07
going on the show. So.
02:08:08
Also, that movie that we went and saw the premiere of, it was
02:08:12
a really good movie. It's called Hacked.
02:08:14
OK, it's so ridiculous it. Is a ridiculous movie but if you
02:08:18
get a chance watch it. Not the most child friendly
02:08:21
thing if you're not like gore, violence and horrible things
02:08:24
like that, but. Oh so.
02:08:25
So not me good. That's it was really good.
02:08:27
It's. A not Me movie.
02:08:29
It's funny. It's it's more like gory comedy.
02:08:31
It's more like Deadpool. Yeah.
02:08:32
Yeah. OK.
02:08:33
And again or. Like, you know, Attack of the
02:08:35
Killer Tomatoes. I I.
02:08:37
Would say on par with Dylan Tucker versus versus evil.
02:08:43
Oh, yeah, OK. I love that movie.
02:08:44
Yeah, yeah, I'll. Watch it.
02:08:45
Yeah, it's more on par with like that.
02:08:47
Yeah, and the movie. The Movie.
02:08:49
Is chipper and all that? Yeah, it's very on par with
02:08:51
that. Yeah, the movie is starring
02:08:53
Chandler Riggs. Who plays Carl Grimes on The
02:08:56
Walking Dead? I don't know who that is.
02:08:58
I don't know any of that. Coral.
02:08:59
Carl it's he's the son from. I never watched The Walking
02:09:03
Dead. Yeah, he's the son from The
02:09:05
Walking Dead. Oh, he's, oh, he's the one that
02:09:07
they made the meme about. That's why we, me and James just
02:09:10
went Carl like he was that guy. I don't know.
02:09:13
I have an ex-husband named Carl, so I could have been that.
02:09:16
I don't know. I was doing research on the
02:09:18
movie. It looks like you can find it on
02:09:20
Amazon Prime. So.
02:09:23
Definitely watching. It's very funny.
02:09:26
It's it's very outrageous and it is very, it's very much an ADHD
02:09:31
movie. OK, All right.
02:09:33
I am. You sold me on ADHD.
02:09:35
Yeah. Well, awesome.
02:09:37
It looks like it was an amazing con.
02:09:39
It sounds like it's probably the biggest LA Comic Con that that
02:09:43

02:09:46

Peacemaker season 2. It just got lumped in there with
02:19:46
all the Peacemaker season 2 news.
02:19:48
But he is going to make a a live action thing and it's not going
02:19:52
to be in Peacemaker season 2. I feel like it's a missed
02:19:54
opportunity, but here we are. Thanks and keep nerding
02:19:57
together. Well, since the delongs are
02:19:59
already on the channel right now, we're just.

I'm gonna say it out loud, Bruce.
02:20:03
It's time to go to bed, Bruce. Go to sleep.
02:20:05
Go to sleep, buddy. Go to sleep, Bruce.
02:20:09
There. You go well, hopefully he's not
02:20:11
awake and he should. Have been in bed like an hour
02:20:13
ago that's. Right, hour and a half.
02:20:16
That is it, ladies and gentlemen.
02:20:18
We will see everybody on Thursday for Avengers
02:20:21
dismembered as always. Like James just said, say it.
