Episode Summary
The NERDs are back for Chapter 245, and it’s gloriously chaotic! Recorded live (so yes, expect unfiltered weirdness), Yung Phil, Jahmez5000, SHDU, and Jen the Fraygirl dive deep into Marvel multiverse madness, movie rumors, and all things pop culture.
From Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson possibly reviving The Scorpion King (because apparently we needed that?) to a Punisher vs. Tombstone showdown, tacos are flying and the takes are spicy. The crew breaks down Marvel Zombies, X-Men ‘97, Vision Quest, Daredevil: Born Again, and recaps New York Comic Con.
Funniest moment? When the team imagined Victor Von Doom holding hands with Aunt May — a scene guaranteed to make Peter “get his tingle back.”

00:05:25
Before we jump into the next segment, I did promise one of
00:05:29
our new viewers that we would give him a shout out.
00:05:31
So. Whoa, whoa, we're making
00:05:32
promises to people. Yeah, we did.
00:05:34
You actually were in on that promise.
00:05:36
And ladies and gentlemen, we want to shout out the mock stop.
00:05:40
Just he's a new viewer that came out and hang out with us on
00:05:43
Friday during the the giveaway, which by the way, if you weren't
00:05:46
out at the giveaway, guys, it was a much needed thing.
00:05:50
It was cathartic as hell and we gave away a whole bunch of
00:05:52
prizes. It was.
00:05:53
It was chaotic as all hell. It was.
00:05:56
It was, but yes, ladies and gentlemen, just shouting out
00:06:00
small creators mock stop is got a small Lego channel and he he's
00:06:05
looking for some subscribers. So just like we shout out the
00:06:08
delongs and guys, the delongs shout out to them as well
00:06:11
because they're always helping us out and going to different
00:06:15
cons and reporting for us. If you're not familiar with
00:06:17
their channels, head over to their YouTube channels guys and
00:06:21
subscribe. Now is your chance to get that
00:06:23
done. So let's go ahead and move on.
00:06:27
Let's jump right into this. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time
00:06:29
to get banned in Belarus like we always do.
00:06:32
It's time to start some rumors. Let's do this.
00:06:55
Awesome, Who's doing the rumors? That would be me.
00:06:57
Let's do it. No, let's get started.
00:06:59
Can you smell what the rocks reheating?
00:07:03
Dwayne Johnson is reportedly in talks to reprise his role as the
00:07:06
Scorpion King, the desert warrior that launched his
00:07:08
Hollywood career and gave us the most chaotic CGI finales of the
00:07:12
early 2000s. What?
00:07:15
Whether it is a full reboot or just a nostalgic cameo,
00:07:18
Johnson's clearly not done with legacy flexes, and if anyone can
00:07:21
turn sand into box office gold, it's him.
00:07:24
So, tacos on the table. Is this a savvy throwback or we
00:07:27
will be scraping out the inside of the reboot microwave after
00:07:30
this one? Oh God, I, I, I don't feel like
00:07:33
this is something that we need no stop.
00:07:35
It tacos. Everybody's tacos are on the
00:07:37
table. I put everybody's tacos on the
00:07:38
table. More rock.
00:07:40
We're done. Yay.
00:07:42
Rock OK, dude, I I will tell you I do like the rock.
00:07:46
The thing is, and this is a role that I actually enjoyed him in.
00:07:49
I don't know if we need more of this, especially after they
00:07:52
recast the scorpion king and now going back to the scorpion king
00:07:55
like it's it's a little bit weird to go on that.
00:07:58
Have you guys seen the fix it in post?
00:08:02
The thing that's been going around?
00:08:04
No, no. So there's.
00:08:05
The Rock. We don't need to fix anything in
00:08:07
post. No, no, no.
00:08:08
No James, you might actually like this.
00:08:09
They went back and fix the CGI from the Scorpion King and
00:08:14
instead of using CGI which like it was like bad PS2 graphics,
00:08:18
they did a they did they use the deep fake of him in the scorpion
00:08:21
King and it looks great. It actually looks like you.
00:08:25
All right, I'm into it. Yeah.
00:08:26
My roccos are off the table. My my tacos are off the table.
00:08:31
I think we will be scraping out the inside of the reboot
00:08:34
microwave after this one because I don't think we need it.
00:08:37
Oh. I think.
00:08:39
It's unless we're getting Brendan Fraser when Brendan
00:08:42
Brandon Fraser was raw and we're not going to talk about the
00:08:45
rocking Scorpion King and unless we talk about Brandon Fraser.
00:08:49
Brendan Fraser's actually talking about coming back for
00:08:51
another Mummy movie. OK, I'll take that over the
00:08:54
Scorpion King I. Think, sorry, I think it is
00:08:57
going to happen because money, that's it.
00:09:01
That's good. You need to do like a clip show
00:09:04
of just him saying I think they're going to do it because
00:09:07
of money because. That's.
00:09:08
Like his go to. My greedy, my greedy green tacos
00:09:12
on the table. All right, so to our next one.
00:09:17
This ain't a crossover, it's a collision course.
00:09:20
What would suggest Marvel's Brand New Day series could
00:09:22
feature a brutal street level showdown between Punisher and
00:09:25
Tombstone that's a gritty pivot for the spider verse and maybe a
00:09:28
test run for darker MCU Fair post Daredevil Born Again if
00:09:32
John Bernthal's excuse me if John Bernthal's Punisher.
00:09:36
I was like I keep saying publisher if John Bernthal's
00:09:39
Punisher is back, except expect blood, bullets and moral
00:09:43
ambiguity. Good gods so tuck us on the
00:09:44
table. Can the MCU handle Punisher's
00:09:47
Edge, or will it sand him down to PhD 13?
00:09:50
I mean, if his publishers involved then blood bullets and
00:09:54
moral ambiguity, that's I might like to have that publisher.
00:09:59
Thank you very. Much.
00:10:01
About having your back. I would not want the Punisher
00:10:05
doing my social media. I don't.
00:10:07
Think that's a good thing? He's your publisher at this
00:10:09
point, right? I'm, I'm, I'm with this, I, I
00:10:14
kind of like the idea of Punisher Tombstone and being a,
00:10:17
a, a thing within Marvel. I, I, I, I don't think they're
00:10:21
going to hold back. I mean they've been able to get
00:10:23
away with a lot more in PG13 in the in in like the last 10
00:10:26
years. My go to example of you can have
00:10:30
a really brutal fight doesn't necessarily have to be like
00:10:32
bloody is Captain America civil war.
00:10:35
I always go back to the fact that captain that Steve pinned a
00:10:39
dude to the side of the hole that ship with a knife and that
00:10:44
was that was pretty brutal for something that didn't have any
00:10:46
bloods. I mean, like if you can get away
00:10:47
with that in PG13, I think the punisher can have a pretty
00:10:50
brutal fight with tombstone without there being a lot of
00:10:53
gratuitous blood. Here's.
00:10:55
My thought at a PG13. It's PG 16.
00:11:01
They could. Have I know that's normally that
00:11:04
would be a John as joke, but I got there first so.
00:11:08
I appreciate that. Definitely a joke.
00:11:12
All right, my bloodless stock goes on the table.
00:11:17
Are on the table on this? Yeah, good.
00:11:19
We get everybody. I agree with you all pretty
00:11:21
much, but you know what I was thinking about this like
00:11:23
Tombstone, isn't he like kind of rock ish right?
00:11:26
Like I don't know if they've shown a lot of blood the.
00:11:29
Rock Ish. Or yes, he has rock art.
00:11:30
Oh, he is rock. Yeah, yeah.
00:11:32
But I think that may be a way of getting around showing blood,
00:11:35
which is the PG13. You can't show a ton of blood.
00:11:37
So little little fighty fighty with tombstone, not a lot of
00:11:41
blood. I like it.
00:11:42
OK, Yeah. I could see that.
00:11:44
All right, well, remember now. Pack tissues, theories, and
00:11:47
maybe a multiversal passport. Another brand new Dave.
00:11:50
Rumor has fans buzzing about a major reunion scene.
00:11:52
No names confirmed, but speculation rages from MJ to
00:11:55
Miles to Toby and Andrew. Marvel's keeping it vague, but
00:11:58
insiders say it's emotionally charged, which is basically code
00:12:01
for Get Ready to cry and Dolby Atmos talk goes on the table.
00:12:04
Who should be in this reunion? And who would break the Internet
00:12:07
if they showed up? This is a hard one for.
00:12:09
Me Miles would break the Internet if he showed up.
00:12:12
I mean, everybody's expecting it, but I still think he'd break
00:12:15
the Internet if he showed up. Can you imagine him and Spider
00:12:18
Gwen showing up? But that wouldn't be a reunion.
00:12:20
So I don't think that's going to happen.
00:12:22
But that would break the Internet.
00:12:23
I think it's going to be Toby, not Andrew, just because of
00:12:28
something's coming up later. And I don't know what reunion
00:12:32
would it be. What if they brought in an Aunt
00:12:35
May from another? That's what I was just going to
00:12:37
say right now. I was like, if anything, if
00:12:39
they're talking about emotionally charged, it's going
00:12:41
to be Aunt May. Or his parents.
00:12:44
Could be his parents. I think that fans will connect
00:12:47
more if it's Aunt May because his parents, we don't have an
00:12:50
emotional connection with the with his parents.
00:12:52
We don't have an emotional connection even with with Uncle
00:12:54
Ben in this. Whereas like in previous
00:12:56
versions, you had a connection with Uncle Ben.
00:12:58
We've never met Uncle Ben in this.
00:13:00
I think the right. I think he's.
00:13:02
Making a lot of rice, so we haven't got to be.
00:13:05
I think the only way that you get something that's an
00:13:08
emotional turn that has something that that that that
00:13:12
that the audience will connect with as well is if you bring
00:13:15
back Aunt May, Yeah. Or or we get Doom and he's tone
00:13:21
and he comes. And he's on me.
00:13:24
And and that's the emotionally charged because Peter thinks
00:13:29
it's really Tony and but it's Doom and I that would be that
00:13:33
would I, that would break the Internet.
00:13:35
It's also keeping that this takes.
00:13:37
That would mildly bend the Internet.
00:13:39
Well keep in mind this takes place after doomsday right?
00:13:42
So that could easily be a post credit going into secret wars.
00:13:46
Yeah, yeah. It is Peter thinking that Tony
00:13:51
is back and it's and it's Victor.
00:13:53
Yeah, they should call it Peter gets his tingle back.
00:13:56
No, no, that's actually Jen. That's also another good take.
00:14:00
So I mean, I, I think those two right there are probably the
00:14:03
most emotional takes that you can have in regards to this
00:14:06
version of Peter Parker. Or it's it's Aunt May and it's
00:14:10
Tony. Oh my God is taking place taking
00:14:14
Charlotte Witch's place. If you have.
00:14:17
Victor Von Doom, Tony Stark's Victor von Doom.
00:14:21
You know RDJ walk in with Aunt May holding hands that will
00:14:26
break the Internet. Yes.
00:14:28
That will break the Internet. Nobody's going to know how to
00:14:30
react to that. Especially not Peter fucking
00:14:33
Parker. No Peter Parker.
00:14:34
He's going to be so conflicted, happy, I'll be pissed.
00:14:39
Happy to be very mad. My yeah, my my confused talkers
00:14:43
are at the table for that. That's amazing.
00:14:47
Yeah, I, I was going to say MJ because I was looking for
00:14:50
something emotional, but you're right.
00:14:52
I think all the spider, Spider Man's, all of them have that
00:14:55
connection to Aunt May. And that would be something a
00:14:58
little bit more like meaningful. And honestly, if I connected to
00:15:02
Marissa Tomei as well, I would be very emotional and crying so.
00:15:06
OK, so, so so it's Aunt May and MJ walk in holding hands.
00:15:09
That's that's what we're. That's the porn parody.
00:15:13
Yeah. Fair enough.
00:15:14
Gwen Stacy walks in with them. All right, well, we have a
00:15:19
little bit more Marvel. When in doubt, unleash the
00:15:22
undead. Marvel Television's topic Zach
00:15:24
is teasing more Marvel Zombies content as fans grow weary of
00:15:28
multiversal madness. Whether it's Anna Mary, Anna
00:15:31
Mary animated chaos, or live action gore, the undead might
00:15:34
just be Marvel's next big swing. With fans craving stakes and
00:15:37
satire, this might be a smart pivot or one more way to keep
00:15:40
the franchise shambling forward. So tacos on the table, Is Marvel
00:15:44
Zombies the cure for for multiversal burnout or just
00:15:47
another gimmick with bite? I'm gonna let you guys go first.
00:15:49
My. Tacos are on the table.
00:15:51
I'm putting tacos on the table. I'm all in, all in with the
00:15:54
tacos. I honestly, you guys know, I am
00:15:59
not a zombie person. I do not like zombies.
00:16:01
It took everything I had to watch Last of Us because of the
00:16:04
zombie factor. I loved the show.
00:16:07
I loved the first season of Marvel Zombies and I I say more
00:16:11
zombies. Let's feed the beast.
00:16:13
Let's feed it. Yeah, I really loved Marvel
00:16:18
Zombies. I thought it was a great
00:16:20
alternate universe type tale and it didn't affect anything going
00:16:25
on in the actual MCU. It was okay if you didn't see it
00:16:28
if you're a kid or something like that, but it was something
00:16:31
extra if you're like a fan like this and you want to see
00:16:34
something different. Plus the way they they ended it,
00:16:38
like they left it open for so much to happen.
00:16:41
I can't wait to see what they can do with this.
00:16:43
Absolutely. No, I haven't seen it.
00:16:45
Oh, yeah, You haven't seen it yet.
00:16:47
I have not seen it. But also like, I, it just, it
00:16:50
took me back to Halloween stuff. Like, you know, there were
00:16:54
always like when we were kids, they had Halloween specials for
00:16:57
just like everything had a Halloween special for a while
00:17:00
and then it just kind of stopped.
00:17:03
And so I really like, I like that Marvel is continuously
00:17:06
putting stuff out for like the Halloween season, like they did
00:17:11
that, you know, werewolf by night and they did it in color.
00:17:16
And then there was the, oh, there was that other one.
00:17:19
Oh the what if one and then this.
00:17:21
And it's just, it really seems like they're really like trying
00:17:25
to bring that kind of nostalgic stuff back to those of us that
00:17:29
are only have inner children and we're no longer children
00:17:32
anywhere. They'll go.
00:17:33
So I, I'm, I'm on board for this.
00:17:35
I'm on board for Marvel Zombies and the, the show was amazing.
00:17:39
It was a really good take in comparison to the comics.
00:17:42
They did a really good take on the storyline as far as
00:17:47
multiverse fatigue and superhero fatigue and all the fatigues
00:17:51
that are coming. I think that's BS.
00:17:53
And, and the reason I say that it's, it's bullshit.
00:17:56
Fans are not fatigued with multiverse and and superheroes.
00:18:01
They're fatigued with bad story writing.
00:18:02
They're they're fatigued with taking something and making it a
00:18:06
Mac guffin. That doesn't need to be a Mac
00:18:08
guffin. They're they're fatigued with
00:18:10
just taking something and and making it lazy, right?
00:18:14
Like where fans are fatigued is oh, well, we know what, we don't
00:18:18
have an explanation for this. So let's just multiverse it and
00:18:21
that's it, right? Like that's what fans are are
00:18:23
are are tired of. It's not the multiverse that
00:18:26
they're tired of. It's the way that it's being
00:18:28
used. The example is Peacemaker.
00:18:31
We'll get into this later, but Peacemaker is a good example of
00:18:34
how to use the multiverse without making it something that
00:18:36
is too much. Invincible was a good example of
00:18:40
how to do a multiverse thing and not make it feel like it's too
00:18:44
much. So in the end, it comes down to
00:18:46
good writing over using it as just a cudgel for your your
00:18:51
story, right? Like make it a part of the story
00:18:54
rather than it being just something that's there and using
00:18:57
it as an excuse for this is how we bring this back.
00:18:59
This is how we do this. No, like make it something that
00:19:01
makes sense in the story. That is my take, and that's
00:19:03
where I'm going to leave it. Awesome.
00:19:05
I think that was a great ending for this segment, yeah.
00:19:08
Who's good? And yes, my my slightly rotted
00:19:12
tacos are on the table. Slightly rotted tacos?
00:19:15
That sounds absolutely disgusting.
00:19:17
All right, everyone. Well, we've stirred the pot,
00:19:20
spilled the tea, and maybe raised a few undead, but one
00:19:22
timeline's never enough. So we're diving further into
00:19:26
Marvel's multiversal madness, where every variant, reboot, and
00:19:30
trailer is fighting first grade time.
00:19:39
Also, this is the first part of the download.
00:19:40
I should have said something about that, but well, ladies and
00:19:44
gentlemen, let's jump right into this.
00:19:48
These stories are going to be a whole bunch of fun because we're
00:19:50
focusing on nothing but Marvel here.
00:19:53
So make mine Marvel. The mutants are multiplying and
00:19:58
so are the seasons, and I'm so happy for this.
00:20:02
Marvel has officially renewed X-Men 97 for Season 3.
00:20:05
Even before Season 2 hits Disney Plus in summer 2026, the
00:20:09
animated revival has struck A nostalgic nerve, blending 90s
00:20:13
vibes with modern storytelling. With Magneto leading the team
00:20:17
and the multiverse creeping in, fans are bracing for more mutant
00:20:21
mayhem. Three seasons deep and still no
00:20:24
cure for the X gene. We're here for it.
00:20:27
I love it. I'm excited for this.
00:20:29
Also more luscious locks, Lyncher.
00:20:33
Exactly. It's the luscious locks.
00:20:34
That's that's what everybody cares about it.
00:20:36
Is, you know what impressed me about Season 1?
00:20:39
Not just like it brought all the nostalgia back, but the way they
00:20:43
wove in so many different X-Men storylines on top of each other.
00:20:48
Typically these storylines are kind of like on their own, like
00:20:52
maybe one every other year. But the way they were able to
00:20:55
kind of piece it all to together and have a bunch of these
00:20:58
different big X-Men stories kind of happen all at once, I was so
00:21:02
impressed with how they did that.
00:21:04
Yeah. I agree absolutely.
00:21:06
The way they took these major storylines and like, you know,
00:21:09
they shortened it. There was an episode where there
00:21:11
was two big major storylines in it, and it didn't feel like it
00:21:14
was crowded and right, Right. Like the Madeline stuff, yes.
00:21:18
I was like, if it fits seamlessly, it was so weird.
00:21:21
I was like, this isn't how it was in the comics, but this
00:21:24
works. Yeah, all the Madeline prior
00:21:26
stuff was good. I think that like really with
00:21:28
that, they had to really go through a lot of storylines to
00:21:32
kind of catch us up, get us kind of into yeah, 1997, so to speak.
00:21:37
But yeah, so and I think that them catching us up is going to
00:21:42
really benefit in season 2 and three because we could get Mojo.
00:21:47
It's just faster. It's just a faster way to get
00:21:49
Mojo. I don't.
00:21:51
I don't want the past. I mean, as much as we joke about
00:21:54
that, the fact that they brought him back in 97 season 1 is they
00:22:00
they've established the character and that is something
00:22:02
that it has more like there's more eyes on it as far as like
00:22:05
your casual fans, which means now people are going to be like,
00:22:09
well, if it happened here, then it makes sense in the MCU.
00:22:12
So I mean, like they don't necessarily need to do a full
00:22:14
transition because the cartoon is a bridge for it, right?
00:22:17
Exactly. Oh, absolutely.
00:22:19
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and they did.
00:22:21
Did you see the announcement or they kind of did a New York
00:22:24
Comic Con, but the new showrunners for season 2 and and
00:22:28
moving forward. So they have Eric and Julia
00:22:30
Leeward or Lee, Walt and Larry Houston, who I think was at La
00:22:35
Comic Con. I've actually had multiple
00:22:37
conversations with Larry Houston.
00:22:39
I've been trying to get him on the show but then he just gets
00:22:42
busy so not. Anymore, he's a big wig.
00:22:44
Yeah, I know, right. But Larry Houston, you know, I
00:22:48
mean, the original showrunner for the original show.
00:22:50
So I mean like it's, it's exactly, yeah.
00:22:52
Yeah. So yeah, the original
00:22:53
showrunners are back for this season.
00:22:55
It's going to be awesome. Absolutely cool.
00:22:58
I agree. All right, all right, well,
00:23:00
let's let's jump into the next one here.
00:23:03
The synthezoid saga just got a whole lot weirder.
00:23:06
Marvel dropped the first trailer for Vision Quest, and it's
00:23:09
packed with multiversal chaos, a human looking Ultron, Wanda's
00:23:13
son Billy, and a storyline that picks up the emotional records
00:23:16
of Wanda Vision. Paul Bettany returns his vision,
00:23:19
but this time he's searching for identity in a fractured reality.
00:23:22
If Wanda Vision broke your heart Vision Quest I might just rewire
00:23:26
the whole thing. I have to tell you this, I'm so
00:23:29
sorry about that. I would just had Billy on the
00:23:31
brain today. It's supposed to be Tommy.
00:23:33
It's Tommy that's going to be in the show.
00:23:36
The actually, yeah, they they checked them out Tommy.
00:23:38
Yeah, right. They so they announced who who
00:23:40
is playing Tommy in this? You might get both, so we'll.
00:23:44
See, I'm sure you're going to get both.
00:23:45
You got Billy in the last one. We're going to get Tommy in
00:23:47
this. I mean like.
00:23:48
Yeah, I feel like maybe it might be at the end or they may do
00:23:52
like some sort of special thing where it's like Wicken and
00:23:55
Speed, you know, that would be cool.
00:23:57
That would be a cool special and.
00:23:59
Since it is. Like special presentation?
00:24:01
Oh my God, Can you imagine? Since it is going off Wanda
00:24:04
Vision, sorry. You could do like a an animated
00:24:07
70s kind of thing too. That's like the adventures of
00:24:09
wicked and sweet. You know, whatever, really.
00:24:11
Lean into it. Why would you animate they're
00:24:14
they're young now. I don't a bewitch style Wanda
00:24:18
envision animated series. I'm saying you could frame it
00:24:23
like a classic. It doesn't necessarily have to
00:24:26
be animated. I'm I'm digging myself through
00:24:28
all. So anyway, that sounds cool.
00:24:30
I'm very excited for. You should see the backyard.
00:24:33
Yeah. Well, I'm excited for this one.
00:24:34
The way Paul Bettany is super excited for this show gets me
00:24:39
excited. He he was like, he was excited
00:24:41
for it at La Comic Con, but he was even more excited at New
00:24:44
York. And I think part of it was also
00:24:46
because Marvel allowed him to talk about it in New York,
00:24:48
whereas they didn't allow him to do it so.
00:24:52
Yeah, 'cause his boss was there, Brad Winterbaum was on stage.
00:24:55
Yeah, he's like, I can talk about it.
00:24:57
Yeah. Exactly, exactly.
00:24:59
Will I have you say something? Winter bombs here so I can I can
00:25:02
say what I want. Okay, cool.
00:25:03
Yeah. Totally.
00:25:03
Brads like got an earpiece in his thing and he's like stand
00:25:06
down. You can talk.
00:25:07
It's like you go. That's good.
00:25:10
All right, Let's go ahead and move on to the next story here.
00:25:14
He is a damn good lawyer, and he really is a damn good lawyer.
00:25:18
Krysten Ritter shared first look footage from Daredevil Born
00:25:21
Again season 2 and Marvel confirmed it'll connect directly
00:25:25
to Spider Man Brand new day. With Charlie Cox back in the
00:25:29
suit and St. level stakes rising, this crossover could
00:25:32
redefine Marvel's grounded heroes.
00:25:34
With Marvel born again with sorry.
00:25:36
With Daredevil, born again trying into dying into Spider
00:25:40
Man, Brand new day, Marvel's grounding its multiverse in
00:25:45
bruises, betrayals and back alley justice.
00:25:48
Hell yes. I just like they didn't announce
00:25:51
that she was in the show. This was the big announcement
00:25:54
that she was in the show. No, no, no, she, they, they did.
00:25:57
Yeah, we've, we've actually talked about it a couple.
00:25:59
Of yeah, that's what I was thinking.
00:26:01
I'm like, I know when she like came out on stage, everybody
00:26:02
went crazy but and but like it was a maybe it was just like she
00:26:05
wasn't announced to be on stage. She.
00:26:08
Hadn't seen her stuff or the trailer, the footage.
00:26:13
They should. That's what it was.
00:26:14
And so she was super excited about that cuz I saw like a clip
00:26:19
of her watching it and just being like giddy like a
00:26:21
schoolgirl because she actually saw herself back on there.
00:26:25
So yeah. Yeah, cuz I know she knew about
00:26:27
it because she had talked about it before.
00:26:29
Like she was talking about like, I don't know if I'm allowed to
00:26:31
talk about this, but I am gonna be in Season 2.
00:26:35
So, you know, and that's where the speculation for a lot of
00:26:37
people with like, you know, is Coulter coming back?
00:26:40
Are we going to get Danny Rand? Are we getting the other
00:26:42
characters? I know at LACC, they were very
00:26:47
coy about it and they kept acting like, I don't, I don't
00:26:51
know what you're talking about. I'm, I'm, I would love to come
00:26:53
back to the to the series, but, you know, they were, they were
00:26:56
doing very. What's his name?
00:26:59
The dude who played Spider man? Andrew Garfield.
00:27:02
Andrew Garfield. Yeah, they, they were doing a
00:27:07
very Andrew Garfield style, like kind of, you know, talk around
00:27:11
it 'cause they're just like, we don't want to get in trouble.
00:27:13
And, you know, people don't know that we're in the series yet.
00:27:15
I'm, I'm sure if anything, once we get a trailer for Season 2,
00:27:19
that's when we're going to like they're going to reveal at the
00:27:21
end, like, oh shit, Mike Coulter's back.
00:27:24
And you know, like it's, it's going to be, it's going to be a
00:27:26
big deal like that. But.
00:27:28
I can't give everything away like now, 'cause then, you know,
00:27:33
then we'd just be like, you have to give us the series now,
00:27:36
right? Holds this now.
00:27:37
Now we need it. But if they dribble, dribble,
00:27:40
dribble then. That's kind of what made me
00:27:43
second guess myself. I'm like, we've been talking
00:27:45
about her being in this show for so long.
00:27:47
I'm like, was it always a rumor or did it actually get
00:27:50
announced? Is this the announcement?
00:27:52
I couldn't. I totally forgot.
00:27:53
It was I we did like a quick bite on it.
00:27:56
Yeah, I remember that a month ago that she was in it, but she
00:28:01
hadn't really done much present about it and I so I think this
00:28:03
probably was her like, oh guys, look what I'm here you.
00:28:07
Know right, I'm with it. Anyway, let's move on I.
00:28:10
Was going to say let's, let's go ahead and move on to the next
00:28:12
story here. Venom, Gwen and Daredevil.
00:28:17
Oh my. Season 2 of Your Friendly
00:28:19
Neighborhood Spider Man lands on Disney Plus in fall 2026, and
00:28:24
it's bringing Venom, Gwen Stacy, and Daredevil into the mix.
00:28:27
The animated series is expanding its roster and raising the
00:28:30
stakes with Peter Parker caught between symbiotes, street
00:28:33
fights, and emotional fallout. With great power comes great
00:28:37
crossover potential, and this one's pretty stacked.
00:28:40
Yeah, I was pretty, I was pretty excited for this.
00:28:42
I don't know if you guys watched, you know, your friendly
00:28:44
neighborhood Spider Man, but it's it's such a nice fresh
00:28:47
take. It's such a good entry point for
00:28:49
Spider Man and getting into the lore.
00:28:51
And they're packing the show with so many like guests,
00:28:56
whether it's villains or, or, you know, heroes, that sort of
00:29:00
thing, even in Season 1. So like seeing them push into
00:29:02
Season 2 and getting this much more.
00:29:04
I'm, I'm with it. I like it.
00:29:06
Yeah, no, I, I, I. Didn't I?
00:29:08
I didn't finish season. One I did it, it was great.
00:29:11
I I really did like the show. I like the way that they did it.
00:29:14
I love the the way that they subtly brought so many
00:29:18
characters in. They did change a couple
00:29:20
backgrounds on characters, but they were in ways that I enjoyed
00:29:24
so much that I want to see those versions on screen.
00:29:27
You know, like, I loved the the Osbournes.
00:29:30
I love the way they did Norman and, and, and just, it made so
00:29:35
much sense. He was such a powerful and
00:29:38
intelligent character, but so conniving at the same time.
00:29:41
And it's like, no, this is what Norman Osbourne is supposed to
00:29:44
be. So I want to see that.
00:29:46
Is that Coleman Domingo? Is he the one that's voicing?
00:29:48
Yeah. Yeah, and that's that's the
00:29:50
whole thing is I want I want now after seeing this, I want
00:29:53
Coleman Domingo to play Norman Osbourne live action because the
00:29:57
way he Osbourne was so on point. And then also them introducing
00:30:02
Tombstone and the relationship that Peter and and Tombstone had
00:30:06
from the beginning. And the the way that his fall
00:30:10
happens because, you know, basically as I'm trying to
00:30:12
protect my little brother. And like you get, this is one of
00:30:15
the few cases where you get a villain that I I actually am OK
00:30:18
with the way that they sympathize the character.
00:30:20
Yeah. You know, I typically don't like
00:30:22
sympathy for villains, but it's like, that was actually pretty
00:30:25
good. Except.
00:30:27
Thanos is a different monster in itself just because the way he's
00:30:30
purple. No.
00:30:31
Yeah, I know, right? It's because because he got the
00:30:33
Meeks. Because he got the Meeks.
00:30:35
He's. Agreements without a milkshake.
00:30:39
And and Deadpool. Deadpool is and Loki, Deadpool's
00:30:42
not so much a villain as he is just an anti hero.
00:30:46
So I mean, like, yeah. And Loki, OK, I'll give Loki
00:30:50
too. Because Loki, they made a
00:30:52
character, they they did a really good redemption arc with
00:30:55
him, you know, like, yeah, you know, and then they did a good
00:30:58
explanation on why he would be evil again, because you get the
00:31:01
other version, universe version of Loki again.
00:31:04
And he has to learn to be humble all over again.
00:31:06
I I I enjoy the one that they handle.
00:31:08
Loki. How about how about Joker?
00:31:11
No, the Joker movies. Wrong universe, OK.
00:31:14
Yeah. So let's let's continue on here,
00:31:18
moving on to the next story that I have here.
00:31:21
You get it on screen, the multivert Hibbeth and Andrew
00:31:25
Garfield taketh away. In a recent interview, Andrew
00:31:29
Garfield slammed the door on Spider Man return rumors with a
00:31:33
blunt, unequivocally fucking no. Oh my.
00:31:37
While fans were hoping for a Brand New Day cameo, Garfield's
00:31:40
statement makes it clear. No suit, no swing, no sequel.
00:31:45
The spider verse may be infinite, but Garfield's patient
00:31:48
patience clearly isn't. Neither is his potty mouth.
00:31:52
Well, fuck that. That I just love that you know
00:31:56
what leave the tall scrawny British man alone if he doesn't
00:32:01
want to be spider man again, he doesn't have to be spider man
00:32:03
again. Look, the guy is making bank
00:32:06
doing these indie ROM com a little off kilter movies that
00:32:12
he's doing. I appreciate it.
00:32:13
I loved him in Tick Tick Boom so.
00:32:16
I don't think that he's off on it.
00:32:18
I think it's just more everybody keeps on trying to get spoilers
00:32:20
out of him and he's just like, I don't fucking know and I'm not
00:32:23
going to so kiss my ass. And it's on it's.
00:32:27
Coming back and I can't tell you anything.
00:32:29
And it's on par. Like he's been known to just
00:32:31
flat out lie to the press like. He really has.
00:32:34
So sorry. So well, but he did it so well
00:32:38
in the last run with with with with No Way Home because
00:32:42
everybody was like, Oh yeah, he keeps saying, he keeps saying
00:32:45
no, he's not going to be in it and all this other stuff.
00:32:47
And he was in it. So it's like, yeah, I think this
00:32:49
is just like another way of him just saying, no, I'm not in the
00:32:52
fucking movie. Leave me the fuck alone.
00:32:54
And it's like, oh, I am. I'm just telling you that
00:32:57
because I don't want people to to.
00:32:58
And you know what? That's called.
00:33:00
It's called acting Amazing actor.
00:33:04
Gaslighting. Yeah, it is also like
00:33:07
gaslighting. Yeah, yeah.
00:33:09
So Speaking of Speaking of acting and actors, yeah, really?
00:33:15
Hollywood's newest hero is already over the spotlight, man.
00:33:19
Marvel's Wonder Man teaser trailer is here, and it's
00:33:22
gloriously meta. It really is.
00:33:25
The series follows Simon Williams, a reluctant celebrity
00:33:29
turned superhero navigating fame, power and studio politics.
00:33:33
It's satire meets superpowers, with nods to She Hulk and Bojack
00:33:37
host Horseman Energy. If the MCU's feeling self aware,
00:33:41
this might be its most unhinged mirror yet.
00:33:45
This looks great. It does.
00:33:47
And, and if you know, I, I, I love that it's, it's, it's kind
00:33:51
of like a reverse take on Wonder man, right?
00:33:54
Like Wonder Woman very much a I'm a superhero that has his own
00:33:58
TV show and he's super full of himself.
00:34:01
I love that they kind of flipped it and it's like I'm an actor
00:34:04
who, you know, kind of doesn't want to be a fucking superhero.
00:34:07
It's like. It's really good.
00:34:09
I think it's great and I love that we get to find out what
00:34:12
happened to the leader of Boravia and now he's and I had
00:34:18
no idea he had the secret filmmaking company in the MCU.
00:34:23
This is amazing. You think propaganda films?
00:34:26
Clearly, Yeah. Hot Girl dropped him right into
00:34:30
the MCU. The MCU to another universe.
00:34:33
Yeah, there you go. She was like, get out of our
00:34:36
universe. Right into another cup, right
00:34:38
into another, straight to the. But yeah, no, I, I really think
00:34:44
this is going to be great. I do love how they're doing it.
00:34:46
I loved the whole like montage of the old 70s.
00:34:51
Wonder Man show old. 70s. Wonder man show and the because
00:34:56
it it gave me like remember the do you guys remember the Kathy
00:34:59
Lee Crosby Wonder Woman movie and like the TV movies like the
00:35:04
Hulk Thor TV movie those. Old like.
00:35:07
Cheesy. Yeah, it gave me it.
00:35:10
I was that it was serving those vibes and I was eating it up
00:35:14
because. Reb around Captain America.
00:35:16
It really. Yeah, it really did.
00:35:18
I was like, this is amazing. I totally want to watch the show
00:35:21
and to have Ben Kingsley, yeah back as Trevor.
00:35:25
'S job I love I love Ben Kingsley.
00:35:28
Well what's funny is I love in the trailer that they like kind
00:35:31
of showed. Wasn't he a terrorist at some
00:35:33
point? Was not actor.
00:35:36
That's acting. I was hilarious and and now I'm
00:35:40
like, are we going to get to see Morris again?
00:35:43
Did he take? Morris with him when he left,
00:35:48
love that because I really want to see Simon Williams reaction
00:35:51
if Morris and he's like does that.
00:35:53
Thing happen I think. Coach, are you?
00:35:56
Yeah. Wait, Yeah.
00:35:57
Why does it have wings? Like it's like I like your dog.
00:36:00
That's not a dog. It's like what the, you know,
00:36:02
it's wings. I mean, I just want to see that.
00:36:04
I just want to see it. I love how I love how when when
00:36:08
Ben Kingsley was was the one doing his audition, everybody
00:36:11
outside was like, man, you hear all that laughter.
00:36:14
He's he's killing it in there. And they're like, isn't he a
00:36:16
terrorist? Oh.
00:36:21
Man. Well.
00:36:22
Such a good comedic break. But you know, you were talking
00:36:24
about those vibes, like the old Wonder Man show vibes.
00:36:28
You know what it reminded me of? And then I was watching some
00:36:30
other recaps and they kind of confirmed it was the Star Trek
00:36:34
episode when Kirk fights that lizard man.
00:36:37
Yeah. I was like.
00:36:38
Yes. It was like, that's like the
00:36:40
backdrop. It's like almost like they
00:36:42
filmed it in the exact same place they did.
00:36:44
Do has a story. I have a story about that.
00:36:47
It's called. It is called Vasquez Rocks.
00:36:49
It is a place right outside of LA.
00:36:50
It is just before the studio line where you have to pay
00:36:53
actors more, like after that line, Right, Right.
00:36:56
I guess, you know, a few miles away from Vasquez Rocks, where
00:36:58
you have your union contracts, you have to pay them more, but
00:37:01
it's right within that place. And so that's where they filmed
00:37:04
a bunch of shit there. That's not a thing anymore.
00:37:05
That's why in like the 60s and things, they filmed a bunch of
00:37:07
it. They filmed Star Trek there.
00:37:08
They filmed some, you know, serials there and things.
00:37:11
Yeah. That's the Galaxy Quest, a scene
00:37:14
that they filmed there. Right, which was a Star Trek
00:37:16
reference. So yeah, there's a bunch of
00:37:17
episodes of Star Trek. That is interesting.
00:37:20
Great. Yeah.
00:37:21
So I'm sure that was intentional as yeah.
00:37:22
It could have been like a proud thing or something, but.
00:37:25
I'm so proud, I'm proud. Fun facts we should do.
00:37:29
I I I'm so proud that my lore, retention and and knowledge is
00:37:34
being passed down to the next. Generation.
00:37:36
Yeah, it's it's the next generation of nerds just taking
00:37:40
well, let's let's get into this guys.
00:37:43
We've surfed the timelines, dodged variants, maybe broken a
00:37:47
few Canon laws, but let's shift gears from the MCU multiverse to
00:37:51
what is happening around the other fandoms.
00:37:53
It's plug in to the rest of the download take over because it's
00:37:58
time to talk about NYCC. It is, but for more news,
00:38:03
trailers, reactions, check out the distance nerdington post.
00:38:07
Let us know what you're nerding out on and also let us know what
00:38:11
you want us to cover. We'd love to hear like if there
00:38:14
are particular fandoms that you would like us to cover that we
00:38:16
don't. All right, so let's get into
00:38:18
this first. I love this.
00:38:20
The Four Nations just unlocked bonus content.
00:38:24
Nickelodeon is going full franchise mode with Avatar the
00:38:27
Last Airbender announcing a 2026 fighting game and a new animated
00:38:33
YouTube series. The game promises elemental
00:38:36
combat and character deep cuts, while the series will explore
00:38:39
side stories and lore. Forget bending hangs, exploring
00:38:43
his IP options. Oh, my cabbages.
00:38:47
I just my cabbages. Oh.
00:38:49
My franchises. I absolutely love this.
00:38:53
I'm probably going to play the fighting game.
00:38:56
I'm probably going to challenge a bunch of other nerds to play
00:38:58
the fighting game. And then I I'm, I'm down to see
00:39:02
this YouTube series because if they're going to go deeper into
00:39:04
the lore, I'm really, I'm I'm all for this.
00:39:07
I love the lore and avatar. So it's like if they're going
00:39:10
deeper into it, I'm I'm all in on this.
00:39:13
Yeah. That's cool, Absolutely.
00:39:15
I hope they put it on. I hope it becomes a PlayStation
00:39:18
exclusive and so it forces you to buy a PlayStation and then.
00:39:22
Don't put these things out into the universe, James.
00:39:24
Fuck off. I'm.
00:39:26
Sorry, zero reaction on your face.
00:39:28
I was like, I think he just got mad the one time are you get
00:39:34
young, feel mad. I know.
00:39:37
All right, so anybody else got Ette?
00:39:40
Cool. This this sounds awesome.
00:39:42
That's happening. I I can use more avatar.
00:39:44
Let's move on. All right, let's do it.
00:39:46
If Powell survives this, he's officially action verified.
00:39:51
I do love that poster, though. Edgar writes.
00:39:53
The Running Man reboot stars Glenn Powell as a man on the run
00:39:57
in a deadly televised game show. The trailer is all neon chaos
00:40:01
and commentary on surveillance. Culture is Glenn Powell reading
00:40:05
from Ryan Gosling Slaba. It might be anyone.
00:40:08
I'm, I'm very excited for this too.
00:40:11
I, I mean, I've been, I've been waiting for more and more on
00:40:14
this just because I, I, I, I love the original running man
00:40:17
for what it was there. I mean, obviously, like you go
00:40:20
back and watch it and there's a lot of things that don't like
00:40:23
hold up for for for now and whatnot, but like making this IP
00:40:28
running with it. But then also I have just
00:40:30
metaphors. Running with it.
00:40:32
But then also doing something that is going to be more along
00:40:36
the lines of what Stephen King intended.
00:40:38
With this, I'm even more excited for it because the book was was
00:40:43
way more social commentary than the movie was.
00:40:46
And I am up for seeing this in its full run.
00:40:50
I think Glen Powell is a good enough actor to carry this type
00:40:53
type of movie. Yeah, and and and I'm, I'm very
00:40:57
excited for this, you know? Yeah, no.
00:40:59
I have a little bit different take on it.
00:41:02
Well, not really. I think I just come from a
00:41:04
different place than you do on this because I, I mean, I
00:41:08
lukewarm about the original. I watched it.
00:41:12
I, I think I saw all the Schwarzenegger stuff because
00:41:15
that's what you could see at the movies.
00:41:16
So I, I didn't not like it, but I was just kind of like, oh,
00:41:21
it's another like, oh, we're going to Mars thing.
00:41:23
Like, you know, it was just another movie for me.
00:41:26
I'm really excited about this because it looks more gritty.
00:41:29
It looks more dialed into that surveillance state and not as a
00:41:35
almost like we're just blackmailing you into doing
00:41:38
this. It's like he has stakes in this.
00:41:41
And I felt like the Arnold Schwarzenegger one didn't really
00:41:43
have a lot of stakes. It was almost like they pawned
00:41:45
him into doing it for like in a certain way.
00:41:48
And so I just, I feel like this will actually have a lot more
00:41:52
character to it and will be a better story.
00:41:55
So that's why I want to watch it.
00:41:57
And I'm not a big fan of Glenn Powell, but you know, I'm I'm
00:42:00
coming around on it. I still want to slap him but I'm
00:42:03
coming around on it. I I do like, and that's what I
00:42:06
was mentioning is that it is, it does seem like they're going to
00:42:09
be leaning more into the social commentary, into the intention
00:42:12
behind the book and everything like that.
00:42:14
But I, I do have to mention that, remember the original
00:42:18
Running Man movie was the first instance that we saw like a true
00:42:21
deepfake happen in the in that movie.
00:42:24
Yeah. What are now like they, they
00:42:27
predicted that in like 1987 when they made this movie.
00:42:30
Yeah. Right.
00:42:31
No, that's yeah. Yeah, hold on.
00:42:33
First off, let's give respect to the original Running Man,
00:42:37
because it had family feuds, Richard Dawson in it, and he was
00:42:41
AG in that show. He was amazing.
00:42:43
All right, secondly, you know those Arnold Schwarzenegger
00:42:46
movies when he goes to Mars and there's women with three boobs?
00:42:50
Don't sleep on that, OK? It was amazing.
00:42:52
I. Mean he did on the three boobed
00:42:53
woman. Yeah, you know what?
00:42:55
That's amazing as a kid? You.
00:42:57
Know who else has three nipples? Chandler Bing.
00:43:01
I have nipples, Greg, can you milk me?
00:43:06
Anyway, all I was going to say is I do not trust, I do not
00:43:09
necessarily trust a corporate entity to do a really good
00:43:11
social commentary about a surveillance state.
00:43:13
At the same time, I think it'll be really good.
00:43:15
I'm excited for it. Looks good.
00:43:16
It kind of has vibes of what was that one movie.
00:43:20
There's a lot of runner Fray that we watched that was like
00:43:22
the similar kind of thing where it's a game show, no?
00:43:25
No, no. There's comedy.
00:43:27
Oh, jackpot. Yeah, Jackpot.
00:43:29
It kind of has a little bit of that in there too.
00:43:31
And who's in the jackpot? Who's in jackpot?
00:43:33
John Cena. Aquafina, yes.
00:43:40
Yeah, exactly. Hey, real quick, before you get
00:43:43
to the next story, you mentioned that you did love the poster art
00:43:47
for The Running Man. A quick shout out to Drew
00:43:50
Struzan. He was the Hollywood poster
00:43:53
designer artist for years and years.
00:43:55
He's he just passed away like today. 7-8 years old.
00:44:00
He did all the amazing posters for like Indiana Jones, Harry
00:44:04
Potter, all those like very much like painted, you know?
00:44:08
Pieces with all the. Symbolism in in, in the posters.
00:44:11
So shout out to him. Shout out to drew shoes and his
00:44:14
artwork. Star Wars, you know, his artwork
00:44:16
was amazing. The one that the Mandalorians
00:44:19
new poster is obviously based on.
00:44:21
Exactly, Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
00:44:24
Yeah, rest in peace. Press in peace.
00:44:27
So I really don't want to say this now that we talked about
00:44:31
somebody dying, but they tell these are back on the menu that.
00:44:38
Is the worst transition ever, and it's not intentional.
00:44:41
And it was very organic. All right.
00:44:43
Warner Brothers. Sorry about that.
00:44:47
Werner that's Warner Brothers confirm.
00:44:50
You got to find comedy and live strategies, right?
00:44:53
Warner Brothers confirms Mortal Kombat 3 is happening, with
00:44:56
Jeremy Slater returning to write the screenplay.
00:44:59
Slater, who penned the previous installment, is tasked with
00:45:02
upping the ante. More brutal lore, deeper
00:45:05
rivalries, and yes, gorier finishers.
00:45:09
No casting news yet, but fans are already speculating which
00:45:13
fighters will return and which new combatants with AK will
00:45:18
enter the arena. The stakes are high.
00:45:20
The Blood Will fly and Earth Realms fate is 1 uppercut away.
00:45:26
Oh yeah. So we know, we, we already knew
00:45:29
that this was something that was coming.
00:45:30
We the, the, the plan from the beginning was they were doing a
00:45:33
movie that was what happened before the tournament, the movie
00:45:37
that happens during the tournament, which is the one
00:45:39
that's coming out, and then a post tournament movie, which
00:45:41
obviously we know is going to be the third one.
00:45:43
So that what what gives me hope in this is that the studio has
00:45:49
enough faith behind this movie that they're green lighting the
00:45:53
third one before the second one comes out.
00:45:56
Where I'm also kind of hesitant is they also did that with Halo
00:46:01
and Halo bombed. So, so so my thing is there is
00:46:06
there's a little bit of distrust in studios and understanding
00:46:09
what fans want. But at the same time, I like the
00:46:12
first one enough that you know, if the second one lands that
00:46:16
same way, then I will be excited for the third one.
00:46:19
So. Yeah, yeah.
00:46:20
Why? Are you going to bring up Halo,
00:46:22
man? Nobody wants to talk about Halo.
00:46:24
I'm just, I, I bring it up specifically because if the
00:46:27
studio's not understanding the little pulse at all.
00:46:31
You know. It just, it's just going to get
00:46:35
like weirder because the next thing that we're talking about.
00:46:40
Yeah. So yeah, I'm excited about this
00:46:42
if we want to jump to the next story.
00:46:43
Yeah, let's go ahead. I mean, I'm excited about it,
00:46:46
too. Don't get me wrong.
00:46:47
Time to land the plane or crash it one last time.
00:46:51
Paramount Plus announced that Yellow Jackets will wrap with
00:46:54
Season 4. The series has delivered trauma,
00:46:56
mystery and wilderness, horror. Yeah, genre.
00:47:00
And now it's heading toward a final reckoning.
00:47:03
The Hive is closing with one last sting.
00:47:06
I've no idea anything about this.
00:47:08
I haven't watched one second of it.
00:47:10
Graveyard says it's amazing. I'm sure he's upset now.
00:47:12
He's probably crying in his beer.
00:47:13
I was going to say, I'm like, the one thing I know about this
00:47:16
show is that graveyard likes it. I'm like, so it must be gory.
00:47:20
And I mean with this, like with whatever this is, this looks
00:47:23
wild, man. This looks like a crazy show.
00:47:26
I I mean, so I I've seen the first season.
00:47:29
It's pretty it's pretty wild. It is it is it is a good, decent
00:47:33
show. You know, again, it's I like the
00:47:37
idea of it. It's like, you know, you crash
00:47:40
land or like a bunch of I forgot what sport they play, but like
00:47:44
soccer, a bunch of soccer players crash land and they have
00:47:47
to survive in this yellow Jackets.
00:47:50
They they have to survive in the wilderness.
00:47:52
But like season 2 is them coming back to civilization after
00:47:56
having, you know, having having to be like they cannibalize.
00:48:00
Lord of the Flies type thing. They've like really Lord of the
00:48:02
Flies until they say now they come back to civilization and
00:48:06
it's reintegrating with like regular people and it's nuts.
00:48:11
Oh, that's also well, live the movie Alive that was about a
00:48:15
soccer team that crashed in the Andes and had to survive.
00:48:20
Anyway, moving on, what's going on?
00:48:23
The one thing I will say about Yellowjackets, I like that
00:48:25
they're ending with the Season 4.
00:48:27
What that tells me is that they're telling a good story.
00:48:29
Like I know some people are really, really into the show.
00:48:32
Some people haven't touched it yet.
00:48:34
Totally cool. But knowing that they can
00:48:36
contain the story and be like, let's just tell it here and be
00:48:39
done and move on. I'm good with that because it it
00:48:41
has some big cast members. There's Christina Ricci's in it,
00:48:45
you know, Juliette Lewis, there's a lot of big names in
00:48:47
the show. So for them to like, say, all
00:48:49
right, we're done with it says a lot about the storytelling.
00:48:51
Yeah, yeah. That's good.
00:48:53
All right, so the Enterprises boldly going off course.
00:48:59
The first look at Star Trek Strange New World season 4 shows
00:49:03
the crew stranded in deep space. Captain Pike's mission just got
00:49:07
a lot more complicated, and fans are bracing for cosmic
00:49:11
curveballs. Strange new World meet strange
00:49:15
new survival mode. Speaking of yellow jackets and
00:49:19
eating people, all right. There you go.
00:49:23
Yeah, Lost in space, like another franchise in space.
00:49:27
Balkans are on the menu all right.
00:49:30
And not just every seven years. All right, so.
00:49:34
Right, No, I. Really.
00:49:37
It is, it is. It's okay.
00:49:39
No, I like that they're doing this.
00:49:41
Yeah, I think it's going to be fun.
00:49:42
Yeah, what was the? Last season for this too.
00:49:44
I believe so and. This like this final season?
00:49:47
I have not been keeping up with the the stranger worlds, but
00:49:50
partially because I'm now kind of protesting Paramount for
00:49:52
various reasons but. You're gonna love the next
00:49:55
story, too. Yeah, Wait.
00:49:57
I was gonna ask though, you know, I was gonna hold on.
00:49:59
We talked about Paramount and and Star Trek.
00:50:02
They've invested a lot. They've come out with a lot of
00:50:05
Star Trek shows, but what I'm interested in is how many people
00:50:08
are picking up these shows. Like, what's the audience like
00:50:12
for these shows? Like, you know, Discovery and,
00:50:14
you know, was it Brave New? What is this one strange new
00:50:17
world? Strange new worlds.
00:50:18
And then they have the, there's a couple new ones and then lower
00:50:21
decks like are these landing are?
00:50:23
These some of them are. Starships landing.
00:50:25
Some of them are I mean. I think from from what?
00:50:29
I've seen it looks like they're mixed.
00:50:31
Very mixed. Discovery started kind of weak
00:50:34
and then ended a little stronger.
00:50:35
Some people liked Picard, most people didn't.
00:50:38
Lord XI think was really popular, and then it was.
00:50:41
A very niche fan base. Yeah, and then everyone loves
00:50:44
Strange Your World, so OK, you know.
00:50:46
OK, cool. Yeah.
00:50:47
And then we'll we'll see about this next one.
00:50:48
I'm I'm looking forward to it, so let's move on.
00:50:51
OK. Anything else?
00:50:52
Phil. Phil.
00:50:52
No, no, I'm. I'm good.
00:50:54
OK, College, The final Frontier. The trailer for Star Trek
00:50:59
Starfleet Academy introduces a new generation of cadets
00:51:02
navigating mystery, danger, and Federation politics.
00:51:06
It's Hogwarts meets warp speed with the Federation and tatters.
00:51:10
Which of these unlikely misfits will earn the uniform?
00:51:14
Cling on 100% did. You guys see the trailer for
00:51:18
this? I have because of course I have.
00:51:19
I have as well. You got bill names.
00:51:22
I haven't seen the trailer for it yet.
00:51:24
I didn't know there was a trailer out for it so I need to
00:51:25
go watch it now. I actually like stumbled upon it
00:51:28
on Instagram and it's a really good trailer.
00:51:32
Like I, I was not thinking that this show was that and I was
00:51:38
very like, I wanna get me some paramount here because that
00:51:42
looks pretty good so. Yeah, no, it really it looks
00:51:45
really good. I really good, but yeah, no, it
00:51:49
it looks really good. I was, I'm, I don't know.
00:51:51
Again, I think all of these have had good trailers and
00:51:54
regardless, but no, I'm, I'm going.
00:51:56
It's an interesting idea that they've been trying to do for a
00:51:59
long time to do a Starfleet Academy series.
00:52:02
I do think it's interesting that it's like after Discovery that
00:52:06
it's in like the 31st century, I think, because that's there's a
00:52:11
whole thing there. But yeah, that's in the 31st
00:52:12
century. And so it's very, very far of
00:52:15
the future. It's the federations and
00:52:16
tattoos, as we said. And so I'm, I'm curious as to
00:52:20
why they didn't set it in, you know, the next generation era or
00:52:23
something. But I, I'm curious about it.
00:52:25
I'm interested because it is exploring new ground.
00:52:27
And hopefully we're not going to have a bunch of legacy stuff.
00:52:29
And hopefully we're not going to have a bunch of, you know, it's
00:52:31
going to be kind of new stories with the theming.
00:52:34
And I'm interested what kind of we're going to get a little bit
00:52:36
more ground level of the Federation and of Starfleet and
00:52:39
like, well, what is does that look like?
00:52:40
What is the, what are the internal politics of sparkly
00:52:43
look like? And so and.
00:52:44
And how they may tie it back into what we know of Star Trek,
00:52:48
you know? That's right, exactly.
00:52:49
And talking about, you know, now we're in an era of of time and
00:52:53
era the the franchise where a lot of the things that made-up
00:52:56
the federation, a lot of the morals, a lot of the, you know,
00:52:58
the lessons and things have kind of been forgotten or have been
00:53:01
one by the wayside. There is no federation anymore,
00:53:03
or at least there is one, but it's very, very small.
00:53:05
And so it's going to be exploring, you know, can kind of
00:53:08
dissect those morals and the foundations of that and be like,
00:53:11
well, was this good? Was this, you know, or should we
00:53:13
try something new? Was, you know, yeah.
00:53:15
Is this the furthest like in the in in like a timeline?
00:53:19
Whether it's the Kelvin timeline, whatever, this is the
00:53:21
furthest thing out there. Yeah, this is the by far the
00:53:24
furthest thing out there. The Kelvin timeline takes place
00:53:27
right after I think God What's what's the series where date is
00:53:31
a captain? Date is a captain.
00:53:34
Well, it's not it takes place right after Star Trek Nemesis
00:53:37
the movie, and that's the that's the divergent point from the
00:53:40
prime timeline. And then they go back to.
00:53:42
Yeah, cuz it's the series. It's it's still with what what
00:53:45
I'm trying to say is it's still within like the lifetime of some
00:53:48
of the characters that. Are because Picard takes place
00:53:50
after the divergent point of the Kelvin timeline.
00:53:53
Yeah, Yeah. So Picard was previously the
00:53:55
furthest, but yeah. I think what I was getting at is
00:53:57
that I know Discovery did this crazy time jump.
00:54:00
That's what I'm talking about, yeah.
00:54:01
So this is after discovery, after the crazy.
00:54:04
Time jump and discovery. It's the 31st century, so got
00:54:07
it, Got it. Yeah.
00:54:08
I wonder, I wonder if what they're trying to do with this
00:54:10
is they they want to do something kind of like how where
00:54:14
people in Star Wars want more things that are like not related
00:54:17
to the Skywalkers. And they're like, hey, we want
00:54:20
to create a series where they're not related to all of the
00:54:22
characters we know and love. And it's something that is new
00:54:26
and, and it's it's so far away that there's no way it can be
00:54:28
connected to a Pike Kirk. Pike, Kirk, or Pard or.
00:54:37
Yeah, like you're not related to any of these characters, but
00:54:40
it's in the future where you can talk about the exploits of these
00:54:44
characters or you can talk about things that haven't happened but
00:54:48
make mention of like certain things and and gives you an
00:54:50
excuse to go back and do another show.
00:54:52
And it is kind of a soft reboot, if we're being honest, too.
00:54:55
Yeah, I imagine that the people they introduce here of this does
00:54:58
well, this is popular will be hey now we're going to do a new
00:55:00
show with this captain from from Academy.
00:55:03
So. Good.
00:55:05
And graduated and now he's got a shit.
00:55:07
Yeah. And again, last thing, last
00:55:10
point I'll make is it's nice because it's kind of like how
00:55:13
the Kelvin timeline was, you know, right after they got us
00:55:18
got out of Starfleet Academy, I can't speak right after like
00:55:22
Kirk got out of the Academy and everything like that.
00:55:24
So you kind of get some rumblings of the way the Academy
00:55:28
works, but not fully. And this is a way to say, hey,
00:55:30
let's go like deep into this, but in a timeline where the
00:55:34
Federation isn't as strong as it was.
00:55:36
Yeah, no, it's really I I'm excited for it.
00:55:38
I really am. I need to catch up on Star Trek
00:55:40
I I know that Paramount is not good right now, but I feel like
00:55:43
I. Just got to say y'all are real
00:55:46
big nerds. Oh, we are.
00:55:48
We are. Look at.
00:55:49
The name of the Look at the name of the show.
00:55:51
Yeah, I'm. Just figuring this out like,
00:55:55
yeah, it's called. Distant.
00:55:56
Dirty. Oh.
00:55:58
My gosh, I thought that was a typo.
00:56:01
All right. Just as it's supposed to be
00:56:04
snorting, but you know. That's for all of our buddies in
00:56:07
Norway. Shout out, shout out, shout out
00:56:10
to Johnny. Stop talking Grace, its back.
00:56:18
And so is the collateral damage. Amazon dropped the first teaser
00:56:23
for Invincible Season 4, promising more blood, betrayal,
00:56:26
and existential dread. I I don't know how to say that
00:56:30
word. JK Simmons returns as Omni Man,
00:56:33
still voicing the world's worst dad.
00:56:36
The punches hit harder and so do the feelings.
00:56:39
With the way that they end the last season, with the way they
00:56:43
ended Season 3, I'm I'm I cannot wait for this because I want to
00:56:48
see the way that he fights. What was the villain that he
00:56:51
that that was beating the living crap out of him at the end of
00:56:54
the show? I.
00:56:54
Don't know, like ultra, ultra, ultra mite #7, I don't know.
00:56:59
Yeah, yeah, he's a ultra mite. But like he, he had his name was
00:57:02
like Legion or something like that.
00:57:03
It was he he had like, Oh yeah, yeah, he had like a name like
00:57:06
that. And that dude was so bad ass.
00:57:10
Is it? No, no, no.
00:57:12
Like I said that the name that he had was something like
00:57:14
Legion. It was something like, like, it
00:57:16
was like, like one of those, like he was meant to be like an
00:57:19
entire one. Got it.
00:57:21
Right. Yeah, He was like the guy that
00:57:24
you. Sent right right like my my hope
00:57:28
is they they've been kind of working towards a redemption for
00:57:31
Nolan. So it's kind of like I want to
00:57:34
see there be some type of redemption for Nolan where he
00:57:37
comes back to Earth, fights this dude and this like, I kind of
00:57:42
wanted to create tension between Mark and and Ollie because
00:57:47
Oliver's kind of on the edge as it is, right?
00:57:49
I want to see Nolan come back and it sparks something in
00:57:53
Oliver where he becomes more violent and more kind of like
00:57:57
more of a yeah, like he becomes more Viltrumite.
00:58:01
And maybe Nolan has to like rein him, rein him in and rein him
00:58:04
back. Yeah.
00:58:05
You know, like, yeah, You know where like I said, like you, you
00:58:10
have this kind of redemption arc in in Nolan where he's starting
00:58:13
to see the bad in the Viltrumites, which I never
00:58:17
thought that you were going to see Omni man, that kind of
00:58:19
slightly become a good guy. But he's not there yet.
00:58:22
And I kind of don't want him to fully be a good guy.
00:58:24
But I want to see like there be a redemption where it's like my
00:58:27
family means more to me than than taking over the entire
00:58:30
universe. Yeah.
00:58:31
Well my take on this is I want to see Omni Omni man be the ever
00:58:35
loving shit out of Mark because this boy needs to learn a lesson
00:58:40
about taking the villain away from the freaking city.
00:58:45
OK, these people don't need to keep having to rebuild their
00:58:49
lives over and this. Is why the Department of Damage
00:58:52
Control was invented, people. I'm just I, just he, he.
00:58:58
Oh, look at that. Even that screenshot.
00:58:59
I were a builder, Mic. Sorry.
00:59:02
I would go down and I would spank that boy so hard.
00:59:05
He deserves it. Yeah.
00:59:07
And then I would teach him some manners about other people's
00:59:10
things. That's what I have to say.
00:59:13
OK, so good name. Was Conquest the guy I'm
00:59:15
thinking of, his name is Conquest.
00:59:18
No, Yeah, yeah. I that that's where I don't feel
00:59:21
like, like no one would do that because he came to destroy the
00:59:24
planet to begin with. So I mean like, like I said, I I
00:59:26
don't. Rule the planet.
00:59:28
No, he came to destroy the planet.
00:59:29
So then that was that way it was easier for the Viltrumite to
00:59:32
take it over. They don't need to.
00:59:34
Mark will just do it for him, just like get him to another
00:59:38
city. Eventually, he'll take out
00:59:39
everybody. That is partially why the
00:59:42
government hates Mark to an extent, but I mean also because
00:59:45
Mark is the strongest one that there is that they're like.
00:59:48
No rude, rude child. Right.
00:59:52
OK, OK. Speaking of children.
00:59:54
Right, sorry I didn't take the. Child Disney's latest fantasy
00:59:59
grab is anything but subtle. Disney has picked up Impossible
01:00:03
Creatures, a sprawling fantasy saga with Dragons, hybrids, and
01:00:07
world building galore. It's giving Percy Jackson meets
01:00:11
Pokémon, and the merch potential is terrifying.
01:00:15
Move over, la Boo Boo. These creatures are the new
01:00:18
vibe. Expect theme parks, plushies,
01:00:21
and lore. Drops by 2027.
01:00:24
That's 100% the only reason Disney bought this franchise.
01:00:27
Yeah, it's so that people like Rain will buy like 1000.
01:00:31
Oh yeah. Plushies.
01:00:32
That's what I keep saying. Money, yeah.
01:00:35
I went to the Loo Boo Boo Smart store and I'm like, and I was
01:00:38
looking at the Disney ones. I'm like I want.
01:00:41
It. Am I the only one that thinks
01:00:42
Laboos are kind of terrifying? No, I look, Laboo boos are
01:00:46
Monchi cheese with slightly larger ears and they have like
01:00:51
innards that like light up certain parts of their face.
01:00:54
That's it. They're just Monchi cheese.
01:00:56
This is just recycled and I wasn't into the Monchi cheese
01:00:59
when they first came out. Why would I like La Boo Boo?
01:01:01
Before, before we go on a tangent about la Boo Boo, this
01:01:04
this looks interesting, though. It is totally just for merch,
01:01:08
but it looks interesting. It looks like kind of AI don't
01:01:10
know. I don't want to say fantastic
01:01:13
piece because that's too like that's those were bad, but but
01:01:16
it has that kind of vibe to it. Isn't Impossible creatures
01:01:19
basically the same thing like Impossible creatures?
01:01:22
Fantastic beast. Possible.
01:01:24
Yeah. Oh, oh shit it is.
01:01:25
Yeah, no wonder. Think about.
01:01:28
It yeah, I I actually looked up like the I was like, what's
01:01:33
impossible creatures? The heck is this thing?
01:01:35
Looked it up. It's this huge series.
01:01:37
It's they've had a game that a game and there's tons of books
01:01:42
by mock stop and it's just it's crazy.
01:01:46
But there's like Dragons, there's like, and the dragon is
01:01:49
like a Komodo dragon with that things.
01:01:52
So they, they aren't like your traditional type of looking
01:01:56
things. And so I think that was kind of
01:01:58
it. But saying that it's like really
01:02:00
world building galore. I think that's probably the, the
01:02:04
hook for these is that because a lot of kids, when you especially
01:02:07
when you're younger and these books are meant for like 9 to 12
01:02:10
year olds, that's when you want a world built.
01:02:12
That's when you are building your own world in your head.
01:02:15
So I, you know, I think it's really cool.
01:02:17
And if it's done well, it could be very successful.
01:02:21
Really cool. I didn't even look at.
01:02:23
Yeah, this is awesome. It's like steampunk and.
01:02:26
Yeah, yeah. It's like, really?
01:02:27
Interesting. I was like.
01:02:28
Environmental undertones. It's good, OK.
01:02:30
And they're the new Laboo boos. Yeah, yeah.
01:02:32
No, that's I. I see it now.
01:02:34
I can't wait. I can't wait for the next con
01:02:37
season to see James walking around with a bunch of Laboo
01:02:40
boos on his bag. What just come over now?
01:02:43
I got a bunch of Laboo. We got little needles in very
01:02:46
specific parts of them, you know, and.
01:02:48
The car payment? Nah, let's get some Laboo boos.
01:02:52
Work something until that bubble pops.
01:02:54
I mean, yeah, yeah. There.
01:02:55
You go, no, I'm excited, I'm excited for this because, you
01:02:57
know, going back to what Disney said and, and working on new IP
01:03:01
and building out new IP, this is a good dive into them saying,
01:03:05
all right, let's build something up and see what we can do with
01:03:08
this. And honestly, this is very much,
01:03:10
you know, Harry Potter meets Pokémon type thing.
01:03:13
There's tons of room, like what you said, for merchandising and,
01:03:16
and whatnot and grab people with, with a new IP.
01:03:19
OK, Disney, let's see what happens.
01:03:21
What it sounds cool. I'm I'm curious.
01:03:23
Yeah, speaking. You know what else you might be
01:03:25
curious about? Speaking of Disney IP.
01:03:28
Rapunzel might be getting a Black Widow operate.
01:03:33
Disney's live action Tangled is officially back in development,
01:03:37
and Scarlett Johansson is reportedly circling the project.
01:03:41
Whether she's Rapunzel or Mother Gothel, The cast, the casting is
01:03:46
Buzz. The casting Buzz is already
01:03:49
Tangled. Just like that.
01:03:51
Along with your. Hair drama and chaos casting.
01:03:56
Just another Disney Tuesday. All right, I have two things.
01:03:59
I think she she has said that she wants to be Mother Gothel.
01:04:02
I think that's what she said. And I think she fits Mother
01:04:04
Gothel better. Also definitely hot enough to be
01:04:08
Mother Gothel. Remember, we have a whole
01:04:09
episode where we talked about. How I wasn't on SO that one, but
01:04:13
I I saw. It I have two things.
01:04:16
First of all, I am probably not going to see this movie, but I
01:04:19
will walk in on it randomly. My I will walk my mother.
01:04:23
I walk in on my mother watching it really and then end up
01:04:25
watching the whole movie. Second thing is, I was going to
01:04:28
say before you were like, oh, I was going to say Katherine Hahn,
01:04:32
but that's me. I think that's too.
01:04:36
I feel like it's too close to to Agatha for her.
01:04:39
Yeah, probably. Yeah, yeah.
01:04:41
Whereas like Scarlett Johansson, I think she fits the character.
01:04:45
Like I mean, she, she obviously she wouldn't be Rapunzel.
01:04:48
She's I don't want to say she's too old, but she is too old to
01:04:51
be Rapunzel. Rapunzel should be someone
01:04:52
that's like. In the teens.
01:04:54
Late teens to early 20s. Early No, because she turns 18.
01:04:57
Well, that, that that, but I'm saying the actress, because a
01:04:59
lot of a lot of acts in their 20s will play, you know, and
01:05:03
stuff. So like the actress, whoever the
01:05:05
actress is should be in their late teens to early 20s.
01:05:09
She kind of fits the age demographic for Mother Gothel.
01:05:12
And it's kind of like more of a, well, I mean, you know, Mother
01:05:15
Gothel is a hot order chick. Scarlett Johansson is generally
01:05:19
hot. So there we go.
01:05:20
Yeah. Smoke show, Mother Gothel, you
01:05:23
know. Show Mother Gothel.
01:05:25
I mean, she already was a smoke show, so I mean, like, even more
01:05:28
so, yeah. Hot Gothel that's.
01:05:30
That was the name of the. And, you know, we talked about
01:05:36
when when she had that lawsuit, when she had that lawsuit
01:05:39
against Disney and part of her settling that was like, hey, I'm
01:05:42
going to get other roles and I'm going to get producing rights.
01:05:47
This is probably 1 where she's going to be.
01:05:49
All right? Yeah, I'll be in it.
01:05:50
You got to give me executive producer, you know, credentials
01:05:54
and blah, blah, blah. So I could see that happening,
01:05:56
right? I'm down with this.
01:05:58
I. Am too.
01:05:58
I am too. I would like her.
01:06:00
I like that she wants to play a mother role because let's face
01:06:04
it, she's been playing the bombshell role for a bit now.
01:06:08
She played a mother role in a movie recently.
01:06:10
She was the mom and JoJo Rabbit. That is true.
01:06:13
She was the mom and JoJo rabbit. That was such a cute film.
01:06:15
I loved that film. Yes, and I can't think that was
01:06:18
a cute film and it had Hitler in it, but OK, whatever.
01:06:21
But it but again, it was a Jewish guy playing Hitler, so
01:06:24
we're probably OK. How do we try to do this?
01:06:26
Mother knows best, listen to her mumsy.
01:06:30
Sorry mate, still talking. Alright, so from a tangled mess
01:06:36
to Westeros's back and it's grim gritty and short.
01:06:41
The first trailer for A Night of the Seven Kingdom teases A
01:06:44
grounded pre pre Game of Thrones almost said pregame a pre Game
01:06:49
of Thrones adventure but fans are side eye in the episode
01:06:53
runtimes 30 minutes in Westeros Good luck surviving winner.
01:06:57
The sword may be long, but the episodes are not.
01:07:01
I'm very excited for this. Yeah, I am.
01:07:04
OK. So, so with this in general, we
01:07:07
don't need long episodes for this given the story that
01:07:10
they're telling, right? I, I, I, I going into this, I
01:07:14
knew we were going to talk about this this week and I was going
01:07:17
to go right into the story. But after listening to
01:07:21
comicbook.com, I have to go to the way of Kofi and not spoil
01:07:24
what I know because I know we know.
01:07:26
I think the majority of us in this on on this episode right
01:07:31
now know about this story about Duncan egg.
01:07:34
So it's kind of like I, I don't want to spoil it for for people
01:07:38
who don't know the Duncan egg story, but the twist that does
01:07:41
pop up in this is awesome twist for friends that don't
01:07:45
understand. This is a really good middle
01:07:47
ground between House of the Dragons and and Game of Thrones
01:07:52
and, and, and I'm hoping they kind of go deep into some of the
01:07:56
lore on this, depending on where where they're going, because
01:07:58
there are certain stories within Dunkin egg that are like, God,
01:08:01
this is a really good story and I want to see it on screen.
01:08:03
So I, I'm excited for this. I I I did, I was surprised by
01:08:09
the tone is the tone in the trailer is very is very fun and
01:08:14
whimsical and kind of, you know, it's it's it's very much almost
01:08:19
comedy like yeah, but I, I think I think it's worth.
01:08:23
So fellas are are very have a lot of comedy in them.
01:08:26
Though, Yeah, I think it's a swerve because when, if you know
01:08:29
what happens in Dunkin Egg, then you know yeah, yeah, it's.
01:08:33
I mean the overall story is not necessarily that comedic, but
01:08:38
the the stuff between Dunkin Egg is always really comedy driven
01:08:42
so. I just the dynamic because what
01:08:44
fuels it, Yeah. Yeah, so, yeah, I've actually
01:08:47
read all of the novellas on here, so and they're doing the
01:08:52
seasons or like 1 novella. So that's why it's 30 minutes
01:08:55
long. It's because there's something
01:08:57
that's like 200, it's like 225 pages I think is what these
01:09:00
novellas are. So ain't a lot of story.
01:09:03
So I think that's why they're 30 minutes long.
01:09:07
And let's face it, I kind of like that they're 30 minutes
01:09:10
long. I love that the dramas are an
01:09:12
hour, but I also I love 30 minute shows too because you get
01:09:16
through them like that. I'm like, you're just like, oh,
01:09:18
I just watched like 7, seven episodes of this.
01:09:20
Yeah, you know, So I think it's gonna be fun and I'm so excited
01:09:25
and I can't wait because I love this Duncan Egg.
01:09:27
Ever since reading it is like my favorite.
01:09:30
So I say that about every one of these, but it is.
01:09:33
And there's no rules when it comes to, you know, show length.
01:09:37
So if it's they've released some and here's like 30 minute
01:09:39
episodes or season 1's 30 minute episodes, and then next season
01:09:43
gets a little bit grittier in it and they do longer episodes, OK,
01:09:47
no big deal. Yeah, I mean, as long as they
01:09:48
tell the stories, I mean, as long as they they overall tell
01:09:52
the story that is meant to be told, I I don't find a problem
01:09:56
with them being 30 minutes. I think people are just like, I
01:09:58
want more of it. But at the same time, it's like,
01:10:01
I don't think people are going to be as upset when they see the
01:10:03
stories and and when the story goes down because again, it is a
01:10:07
short story that they're writing out for an entire season.
01:10:10
Duncan Egg was a really good story again.
01:10:13
When when when they do the twist and you find out who well, I
01:10:16
mean, we already know that they've said it in the trailer.
01:10:18
We already know he's Sir Duncan the tall.
01:10:20
But when you find out who who Egg is, yes so.
01:10:24
For for reference. That, but the whole like what
01:10:27
happens in that story, yeah, is also kind of like, whoa, I'm
01:10:32
actually really excited for next season because second book is my
01:10:37
favorite and yes, exactly. I love it so.
01:10:40
Real quick, for reference, Peacemaker season 2 episode 7
01:10:45
was 33 minutes long and then episode 8 was 57 minutes long,
01:10:50
so yeah, you. Know whatever so yeah yeah no
01:10:53
I'm really excited for this I'm always excited for more Westeros
01:10:56
stuff even though we got burned like well burn huh that's funny
01:10:59
on Game of Thrones last season we.
01:11:02
Did also and, and, and I'm just, again, I don't want to linger on
01:11:06
this, but just keep in mind that we're getting Dance of the
01:11:08
Dragons in next season of, of, of hot.
01:11:14
And they saved because everybody was pissed that that that battle
01:11:17
didn't happen at the end of season 2.
01:11:19
But it's like, yeah, because they're putting two of them in
01:11:21
season 3. Yeah, like they're putting two
01:11:23
of them in Season 3, and Season 3 is going to start fucking hot
01:11:28
because literally we're getting Dance of the Dragons in Season
01:11:30
3, so. It's, I love, I love the
01:11:33
universe and so I'm, I'm always excited to revisit it.
01:11:37
OK, so from Duncan the Tall to another tall, dark, handsome
01:11:42
man. Oh my back, I'm Batman.
01:11:49
Warner Brothers Animation is developing a full animated saga
01:11:53
based on Batman Nightfall, the iconic comic arc where Bane
01:11:57
breaks Bruce Wayne physically and psychologically.
01:12:01
The project will span multiple films and explore Gotham's
01:12:04
descent into chaos as Bruce recovers and Jean Paul Valley,
01:12:08
AKA Azrael, takes up the cow. No voice cast announced yet, but
01:12:13
fans are hoping for a mix of legacy talent and fresh blood.
01:12:17
I love fresh blood in Gotham, the night always falls, but this
01:12:21
time the Bat might not rise. This is one of my all time
01:12:25
favorite Batman stories, this Court of Owls, and there's a
01:12:30
couple of different other ones that don't immediately come to
01:12:33
mind. Court of Owls is one of my all
01:12:34
time favorites but this night. Man's land.
01:12:37
No Man's Land is another really good one.
01:12:39
Long Halloween. Long Halloween is one I'm not my
01:12:42
favorites. Hush, obviously another one of
01:12:44
my favorites, but Nightfall just because it it, it all leads into
01:12:51
so much you have John Paul Valley and then when we take it
01:12:53
away from John Paul Valley, Batman comes back for a little
01:12:56
bit, but then Dick Grayson takes over as Batman.
01:12:59
Like I'm hoping that we get all of that.
01:13:01
You know, I would love to see especially if they're doing it
01:13:05
as a saga. That means we're not just
01:13:07
getting one of these, we're getting multiple movies the same
01:13:10
way. Yes, the same way that they did
01:13:12
Son of the Bat, right? Because they did like 5 movies
01:13:15
for Son of the Bat, right? The the Damian Wayne storyline.
01:13:18
So it's like I, I, I want more stuff like that where you have
01:13:21
multiple movies spanning across an entire comic line.
01:13:25
Especially with Nightfall because oh man, the intelligence
01:13:29
and the brutality that Bane has has not truly been put on the
01:13:33
screen. Closest was Dark Knight Rises
01:13:36
because they gave him that intelligence, they gave him that
01:13:39
brutality, but it still doesn't come close to the way he is in
01:13:42
the comics. And I cannot wait to see the
01:13:46
version of Bane that is so smart that he can outsmart Batman.
01:13:51
Yeah. You know, I I'm so excited for
01:13:54
this. You know, that's, that's my take
01:13:57
on this. Yeah.
01:13:58
I, I have mixed feelings on it being multiple films.
01:14:01
Like I like that they're going to tell a big story, but what
01:14:04
are those individual films going to be like?
01:14:06
Like telling the big story. I wonder if it's going to be
01:14:09
valuable versus like it is a big story that they're just chopping
01:14:12
into pieces. It'll have to be like Batman
01:14:15
will have to be like incapacitated in the 1st pretty
01:14:19
quickly. And then and then you know, I
01:14:21
know Dick Grayson takes over for just a little bit at the
01:14:26
beginning and that's until Jean Paul Valley get comes in on the
01:14:30
scene. And so I would think it that
01:14:33
might be the first one like where we get introduced to Jean
01:14:36
Paul Valley and like we think, oh, it's going to be great.
01:14:39
He's so amazing. He's going to be great Babin.
01:14:41
And then the second one, we start seeing him just like
01:14:45
devolve into madness because. Of the start of John Paul
01:14:48
Valley, yeah. Like this, the this scent just
01:14:52
brutality and and the monster that is John Paul Valley.
01:14:56
Yeah. Yeah, and then the third one's
01:14:58
gonna be the big, like the fight between Jean Paul Valley and
01:15:03
Dick Grayson, where Dick Grayson kicks his fucking ass like he
01:15:08
does a little bitch. And then, and then that's when
01:15:12
we get Azrael so out of that, he kind of realizes, oh, I was
01:15:17
being a big old Dick, so I'm gonna not.
01:15:20
But not a big old decoration. I'm gonna be Azrael.
01:15:22
Yeah. So, yeah.
01:15:23
So I thought I it could be done. It was a huge story.
01:15:27
It was like crossed over from like all the bat books.
01:15:30
So it was like 8 different books and it was like 6 months long.
01:15:34
There is a there's a lot of story in there.
01:15:36
So they definitely have enough to do 3 movies.
01:15:39
And I mean, I've always felt that it would be a good
01:15:43
crossover for lore wise if you take Nightfall and then put the
01:15:47
Battle for the Cowl right next to it.
01:15:49
Because yeah, yeah, the Battle for the Cowl.
01:15:52
Considering what happens with all of that, one of my favorite
01:15:55
things with Battle of the Cowl that they could integrate with
01:15:58
all of this is when Dick becomes Batman, Damien becomes his, his,
01:16:04
his Robin. And the relationship that Dick
01:16:07
Grayson and Damian Wayne have together is, is something like,
01:16:11
it's so cool to see them because he sees him as a Big Brother.
01:16:15
And Dick is like, so like me, me and Jen have argued this many
01:16:21
times, Dick is the best version of Batman.
01:16:25
He is Batman. If you had a perfect Batman,
01:16:27
Dick Grayson would be him. But he also deserves to be his
01:16:30
own person. Well, that's why he's so good as
01:16:32
Nightwing. But I mean, like, you know, like
01:16:34
if if you had a perfect Batman, like Dick Grayson is that
01:16:37
evolution? Dick Grayson is you take all of
01:16:39
the skill that Batman has and you take away all of the trauma,
01:16:43
different kind of trauma, but you take away the specific
01:16:45
trauma that Batman has and and you get Dick Grayson.
01:16:50
Yeah. Absolutely.
01:16:51
OK, let's stop talking about this because we've been talking
01:16:53
about this most like all of it. And we need to stop because
01:16:57
we've got a transition. I have a transition right here
01:16:59
in front of me that I'm going to read right now.
01:17:01
We've zipped through the headlines, kind of dodged a few
01:17:05
trailers and maybe caught a shield to the head.
01:17:08
But now it's time to slow the scroll.
01:17:10
Let's zoom out and dig in the This is the story shaping the
01:17:15
fandoms during debate and trending up.
01:17:17
Indeed it is. This is the story of a
01:17:20
peacemaker. Yep.
01:17:23
The trend of all right, here we go.
01:17:24
Turns out the real final boss was audience disappointment.
01:17:29
Oh my goodness, let me get through this and then we can we
01:17:32
can discuss. The Peacemaker Season 2 finale
01:17:35
has fans fuming across social media with reactions ranging
01:17:40
from not good TV to so effing bad.
01:17:43
What started as a cult hit for the DCU and James Wings guns
01:17:47
offbeat tone now faces accusations of tonal whiplash,
01:17:52
rushed arcs and finale that undercut its own emotional
01:17:56
stakes. Some blame the broader DCU
01:17:59
reset, others say the show lost its edge.
01:18:01
Either way, the finale has fractured the fandom, and not in
01:18:05
a multiversal way. For a show built on chaos, this
01:18:09
ending might have gone too far off the rails.
01:18:13
Did Peacemaker lose its punch? Or is this just the price of
01:18:17
playing in a rebooted universe? OK, First off, did everybody see
01:18:21
Peacemakers? Yes, every.
01:18:22
Yeah, yes, I've seen it. Everything OK, So you wanna just
01:18:25
like go between like so? One of them should do what you
01:18:28
wanna. You're doing a lot with your
01:18:30
hands. What do you think about
01:18:31
Peacemaker Season 2? I'm probably gonna have the most
01:18:34
lukewarm take here. OK, Luke, I'm gonna.
01:18:38
It's about the about the temperature of a tauntaun, no?
01:18:41
So I, I was a little disappointed, honestly, it
01:18:45
wasn't that bad. I thought the first part of it,
01:18:49
like the first part of the episode, the acting was a little
01:18:53
simply because I think it, it kind of, I don't know.
01:18:55
I thought they were kind of spelling too much stuff out.
01:18:57
They were really telling, not showing a lot of it.
01:19:00
And then he got out and whatever you know it was, it was a lot to
01:19:04
pack into the last episode. I think that's what the
01:19:07
problems. I think it needed like 3 more
01:19:08
episodes to develop all of this and to get it all out because
01:19:12
just doing 1 long last episode was not enough.
01:19:15
We needed another couple of episodes to really, really build
01:19:18
all this up and really figure out what we were doing.
01:19:21
There were interesting ideas being thrown forth.
01:19:22
There were interesting things. It, it just, it felt really,
01:19:25
really rushed. And that's the problem.
01:19:28
And yeah, and I, I wish we had seen a little bit more of Earth
01:19:31
X too. I think that was kind of a
01:19:34
missed opportunity. I wish we'd followed up a
01:19:36
little. I'm sure we will at some point
01:19:38
in the universe follow up on the Keith stuff like.
01:19:40
Once you got the reveal, you're like, OK, let's see what's
01:19:42
happening over here versus just a mural.
01:19:45
Right, exactly. It's like, yeah, my come from
01:19:46
the table. Yeah.
01:19:47
It was like there was a little bit of missed opportunity there.
01:19:49
We could have explored a little bit more, could have been more
01:19:51
nuanced, could have been, well, not nuanced, but could have been
01:19:53
more like, oh, let's really explore how this works and why
01:19:56
it's bad. And, you know, we apparently we
01:19:58
need to be telling people why the Nazis were bad at this
01:20:00
point. So let's do some of that.
01:20:02
Before, before we get to fray, I want to ask you, so episodes one
01:20:06
through 7 versus episode 8, what was your take on like the rest
01:20:10
of the season versus how the season wrapped?
01:20:12
I do think it it it like the rest of the season was really
01:20:15
pretty good again, I think, yeah, I think everything was
01:20:18
just a little rushed. I I can kind of looking back,
01:20:20
like retroactively see everything was a little rushed.
01:20:23
So, but generally it was pretty good.
01:20:25
I mean, it was a little confusing, but, you know, I
01:20:28
think we wrapped everything up. I I it is funny that everybody
01:20:31
clocked Earth X so quickly too. It is very funny to me.
01:20:35
I feel like that may have ruined a little bit of it for for some
01:20:37
people. So.
01:20:38
All right, Fred, Go. Well, to answer like to, to kind
01:20:42
of comment on your, you, you think that ruined it for
01:20:44
everybody a little bit. I think that was by design, to
01:20:47
be honest with you, that that James Gunn wanted everyone to
01:20:51
think that was the twist, but it wasn't.
01:20:55
The twist was what came at the very end of the Lassus that they
01:20:58
were trying to find a prison planet.
01:21:00
That's why they wanted the portal that was stable.
01:21:03
So I, you know, so I think it was that kind of double twist
01:21:06
thing. I, I came at it a different way
01:21:09
in comic book story arcs, everything, all the battles and
01:21:13
everything, they're just like, oh, it's over a whole bunch of
01:21:16
episodes, right? It's like, oh, issues, right.
01:21:19
So you have like this arc that's like 6 issues long, right?
01:21:22
And five of those issues are it's the battle, it's us getting
01:21:26
through it. And the last issue is jam packed
01:21:30
of them all resolving everything and you get a teaser for the
01:21:34
next story arc. And so that's how I took it.
01:21:38
I was like, oh, this is just your comic books story arc
01:21:40
ending. Oh yeah, this is yeah, we're
01:21:42
getting, oh, it's all good vibes.
01:21:44
Everybody's happy. So of course somebody's going to
01:21:46
come in and pee in the punch. So I, you know, I, I, I expect I
01:21:53
expected something because I knew like, because you know,
01:21:56
James can say, oh, this is going to tie directly into Man of
01:22:00
tomorrow. And I think it does.
01:22:02
I don't think it took anything away from the story that came
01:22:05
before it. And I really feel I, I felt like
01:22:08
this was a very, it was almost a parody of the genre of, OK,
01:22:14
here's the action thing. And now we're all good.
01:22:16
It's great montage after montage after he said he doesn't really
01:22:21
like the montage. He thinks it's kind of hacky.
01:22:23
And so I took it as the comic book panels, like where you see
01:22:28
people putting stuff in there off, you know, not really any
01:22:31
talking or anything. And they're putting stuff in
01:22:33
their offices and they're getting back to, I mean, the New
01:22:36
Teen Titans, they did it all the time.
01:22:37
They would come back to the their little headquarters and
01:22:40
they'd all go to their rooms and have a little sleep or shag or
01:22:45
whatever. I mean, depending on who they
01:22:47
were. But I didn't see anything wrong
01:22:49
with it. If you're Starfire, if you're
01:22:51
Starfire and and Dick Grayson, then yes, yeah.
01:22:54
But your your name is literally Dick.
01:22:56
Like, come on. Yeah.
01:22:59
Yeah, yeah, Young Phil, what did you think of Season 2 as a whole
01:23:04
and then how the Season 2 wrapped?
01:23:06
I love the season as a whole. There were a lot of things that
01:23:09
I was able to predict pretty early.
01:23:11
I mean, we we were all talking about Earth X, my cameo that I
01:23:15
wanted. Why?
01:23:16
I kind of almost was like waiting for Overman to show up
01:23:20
and have somebody else play like, you know, Nazi Superman.
01:23:24
But like, you know, it didn't happen.
01:23:25
That was fine because we were in that universe and, and
01:23:27
everything that happened. But like I, I called it from the
01:23:29
beginning. And I think it was, I think
01:23:31
actually, James, you were, it was something that you had said
01:23:34
that put me on to it and made me pay attention to it.
01:23:36
And then it was like the first time he went in there he goes.
01:23:39
Did you notice that there was nobody brown in there?
01:23:41
And I immediately was like, it's Earth X, it's Earth X, it has to
01:23:44
be Earth X. And I and I like went off on
01:23:47
that and look for every sign that it was Earth X every time
01:23:50
we went back there being that. So I mean, like we, we called
01:23:53
that. I thought that the way that they
01:23:55
wove the storyline was good. There was a lot of emotion
01:23:58
between Harcourt and and, and Chris, Chris, Chris.
01:24:04
I wanted to say John, but it was, it's not John that's
01:24:09
economos. But I mean, like, I, I, I love
01:24:11
the way that they, they told the story, you know, and in general,
01:24:15
you know, I, I, I love the updates on a lot of these
01:24:17
characters. You know, we've seen Vigilante
01:24:19
in the past and I love the way that he reinvented Vigilante for
01:24:23
this series in season 1 and even more expanding on season 2.
01:24:27
Like basically he's a giant 12 year old that never grew up.
01:24:29
Yeah. You know, like he's, he's got
01:24:32
that. He's still in that like
01:24:33
rebellious. Fuck you on stage and and just
01:24:35
never grew out of that, you know, and it's just like what
01:24:38
your mom is like the nicest person in the world.
01:24:40
ANYWAYS, season finale IA lot of people were talking about like
01:24:44
how rushed it felt. A lot of people talked about how
01:24:47
they didn't like this and like that and all these other things.
01:24:50
This was a setup for Salvation run.
01:24:52
So I mean, if you're not unfamiliar with the comics, go
01:24:54
check out Salvation Run. You know, it's a setup for it.
01:24:58
I mean, especially at the very end when Chris is on the planet
01:25:02
and here's a bunch of monsters, it's like, Oh no, this is
01:25:04
Salvation run. This is literally the planet
01:25:06
that they go to because they thought it was an uninhabited
01:25:09
planet and it's got nothing but monsters like the monsters of
01:25:12
your nightmares on it that they didn't realize were there.
01:25:15
And what I love is, you know, this is this is directly going
01:25:19
to tie into the New Gods because this originally the planet that
01:25:23
they're on is a planet where Orion trains that he was a
01:25:29
training planet for him to like train himself.
01:25:31
And he goes and fights these. Monsters, the pair of demons.
01:25:34
And the pair of demons, so I mean, like, I, I, I again, this
01:25:37
is a this, this is a complete setup for salvation run.
01:25:42
And then saying that they're going to set up that they're
01:25:44
setting up for, for future implications within the DCU.
01:25:49
This is a place where they put super villains like they're,
01:25:51
this is a place where they, they, they put super villains in
01:25:53
this prison planet in order to keep them.
01:25:55
And they basically get Lord of the Flies.
01:25:57
It becomes a super villain Lord of the Flies.
01:26:00
So I mean, like again, there, there is set up for this and,
01:26:05
and I, I was not upset with the way that everything went.
01:26:09
Also getting checkmate at the end when they said, Oh yeah,
01:26:12
we're not getting these. I think me and Jen talked about
01:26:14
this when they said that we are not getting a season 3 of
01:26:17
Peacemaker. Well, it's because we're getting
01:26:19
Season 1 of Checkmate. Yeah, and and did I not say that
01:26:22
we were gonna get checkmate? Did I not say that I said that
01:26:26
like before super me, I said that when he was just talking
01:26:30
about stuff. Well, this might come out over
01:26:32
here and this might do over here.
01:26:34
And I was like, we're getting checkmate, I know it's going to
01:26:36
happen and bam. Especially considering where
01:26:40
Checkmate falls in line with like specifically Checkmate as
01:26:43
an organization falls in line with Salvation Run.
01:26:46
Like they're the ones that are grabbing all the villains and
01:26:49
black bagging these villains. They're basically the second
01:26:51
generation of Suicide Squad and they're over here just like
01:26:54
throwing people into they're they're DC is equivalent to the
01:26:58
Thunderbolts. Yeah, OK, yeah.
01:27:02
And they're basically black bagging all these villains and
01:27:04
throwing them on the planet. So I mean, like he's he's
01:27:07
completely set up Salvation run just in this last episode.
01:27:11
But if you don't know the comics, because The thing is, is
01:27:13
James Gunn is not holding anyone's hands, right.
01:27:16
Whereas like other other comic universe, comic book thing
01:27:20
universe, they'll they'll hold your hand through everything.
01:27:22
He's just setting it up and you're going to learn as we go.
01:27:26
He's setting up storylines for way down the road.
01:27:29
And I, I feel like if you really want to, if you really want to
01:27:35
get into this and you want to know where the story is going to
01:27:37
go. Well, I just, I just gave you
01:27:38
the name, right? Go check out somebody and that's
01:27:41
going to give you an idea of where the storylines are going
01:27:43
to go. It's not going to go exactly
01:27:45
that way, but this is where you can get an idea of how things
01:27:48
are going to happen. And that also will give you
01:27:50
context to how Man of Tomorrow is going to work.
01:27:52
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I my only really most of my
01:27:56
problem was I liked where they went with it.
01:27:58
I liked all the story decisions and everything.
01:27:59
It's really just, it felt like you needed about three more
01:28:02
episodes. That's literally pretty much.
01:28:04
It and we're like all the episodes in in the next season
01:28:07
of the show. Sure, but I'm saying to set up
01:28:09
to set all this up to really let it simmer and like, OK, one
01:28:13
episode, second one episode is this.
01:28:15
I think that's Yeah. Anyway, James, what were your?
01:28:17
Thoughts and your thoughts, Sir? So my my take is, yes, there was
01:28:22
a lot of like nerd heavy guessing this is Earth X, this
01:28:26
is not Earth X. Whatever is going to we know
01:28:28
what's going to happen. James Gunn does an incredible
01:28:30
job of telling stories that we think we know and making, making
01:28:34
them adapted to something else that is completely new, but also
01:28:38
telling some good character stories.
01:28:40
I think the good part about like not knowing what Earth X is and
01:28:44
leaving it out there, but also kind of backfired because when
01:28:48
you talk about salvation and you talk about checkmate for the
01:28:52
nerds, you may know it or you may go investigate it, which is
01:28:55
great. Like, OK, let me go pick up a
01:28:57
comic book and see what this is about.
01:28:58
And maybe that's what he wanted to do was have people pick up
01:29:01
comic books and go let me go learn about the Salvation run,
01:29:04
let me go learn about checkmate, that sort of thing.
01:29:06
I think for the average fan, I think that's where a lot of the
01:29:09
backlash starts to happen because it's like you leave me
01:29:12
with a bit of a Cliff cliffhanger and some untold like
01:29:16
where is this going with Checkmate Salvation?
01:29:19
And it's like you, you want me to know what it is, but you're
01:29:22
not telling me what it is. And I think that big of a
01:29:25
cliffhanger kind of missed the mark because it wasn't like a
01:29:29
cute little bow wrapped up on things.
01:29:32
OK. Yeah.
01:29:32
I mean, there there was. So there was a bit where he
01:29:37
showed Peter Safran a cut of the episode where it ended with
01:29:42
checkmate, you know, before Peace spoiler, before Peacemaker
01:29:45
gets, you know, nabbed and put in over at Salvation.
01:29:49
And Peter Safran was like, well, you you have to put in
01:29:51
Salvation. Like, you have to do that.
01:29:53
You have to, like, lead where it's going to go.
01:29:55
I was saying, all right, let's do it.
01:29:56
So it's a little interesting because it's such a a
01:29:59
cliffhanger for like what's going to happen next and knowing
01:30:02
like we're not going to do a Peacemaker season 3, you know,
01:30:07
and we may spin off and do something else without actually
01:30:09
saying it. I think that can leave viewers
01:30:13
with a little bit of a bad taste in their mouth about like, well,
01:30:16
you're just leaving open-ended pieces and I don't know what's
01:30:18
going to happen. Yeah, yeah.
01:30:19
I think he should probably come out pretty like pretty quickly
01:30:22
and say, hey, no, the reason there's not a Season 3 is
01:30:26
because we're looking into doing a Season 1 of Checkmate.
01:30:29
Like you know that? Right.
01:30:30
Or a season 1 of Salvation run maybe?
01:30:32
Well, I, I think that's why that he did that post about Man of
01:30:35
tomorrow, like, hey, this is where we are gonna go.
01:30:38
But it hasn't, it doesn't really connect with Peacemaker.
01:30:41
So it's like feels a little open-ended, but we'll see.
01:30:43
What? Happens.
01:30:44
I enjoyed it overall. I enjoyed this the series, yeah.
01:30:47
The other thing with Salvation run in general, it ties into the
01:30:51
theme of gods and monsters. And you have a planet full of
01:30:54
monsters that Orion to run on. You literally have gods and
01:30:59
monsters on this planet, right. So I mean, and again, it's it's
01:31:03
it is a easy way for them to start introducing like kind of
01:31:07
slow dripping the new gods into everything.
01:31:09
So yeah, right. Yeah, great.
01:31:11
You know, as much as we talk about like, hey, who's going to
01:31:14
be Batman is you know, David Corn Sweat, a good Superman,
01:31:17
that sort of thing. What's going to happen with the
01:31:19
DCU? He's set up a lot with
01:31:22
Peacemaker and told some good character driven stories within
01:31:26
Peacemaker that could do a lot. You know, and I, and I think he
01:31:30
did a good job of like showing diversity and giving range for
01:31:35
the actors and letting them, letting them act, letting them
01:31:38
tell good stories and showing good character arcs.
01:31:40
I was really, I was impressed with John Cena, to be honest.
01:31:43
Like I know I'm a mark, I'm a wrestling mark and I'm a fan of
01:31:47
John Cena, but seeing him act, it's crazy how good he's how
01:31:52
good he's gotten. I just watched Daddy's Home with
01:31:56
Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg and he's in that and he was so
01:32:00
stiff. Like he just has like a 5 minute
01:32:02
apart but it's so stiff and he has like 2 lines and it's like
01:32:06
oh it's so stiff. You can just see his growth as
01:32:08
an actor. Also, I just had a an epiphany
01:32:12
moment right now, right? I've been talking about how much
01:32:14
I want Alan Richardson to be Batman, right?
01:32:17
You had the same epiphany moment, God damn it.
01:32:20
What if Alan Richardson is Orion?
01:32:22
That's what I. Was gonna say I could see that.
01:32:25
I would 100% be on board with Alan Richardson is Orion.
01:32:30
Yeah, I think that's what they're doing.
01:32:32
I think that's what they're doing.
01:32:34
Because I think he was probably like, I think I think he was
01:32:37
like, yeah, I want to be Batman dead.
01:32:38
And he goes, I got a better idea.
01:32:39
Orion and Alan Richard, probably yes.
01:32:44
It's like I'm High father's son that got swapped and became and
01:32:49
got raised by Darkseid. You got pretty much Thor, OK,
01:32:53
right? Sounds good.
01:32:54
Matt in the chat saying he would be a good.
01:32:56
He would be a great Orion. I 100% agree with that.
01:32:59
I do I would love him to be Batman.
01:33:02
I think he would be an amazing Orion.
01:33:04
I do think that's where the helmets are coming from, I do
01:33:07
think. Oh my God, those are Orion's
01:33:09
helmets. That'd be so dope.
01:33:11
And they're all like lined up in in the QUC and it's all just,
01:33:16
you know, Orion being like, okay, I'm gonna go test myself.
01:33:19
What am I, what helmet am I gonna choose?
01:33:21
And then it's just Peacemaker just stealing helmets here and
01:33:23
there. Just let me grab this one that.
01:33:25
One that would be good. That's probably what it is.
01:33:28
That's what it is. And then Orion just shows up,
01:33:31
like, what do you do with my helmet?
01:33:33
The code. Oh my God OK I had to like
01:33:35
double take. Like do a double take on a rate
01:33:37
real quick. Earth X Peacemakers helmets are
01:33:41
100% Orion's helmet. Oh my gosh.
01:33:45
I had and I was like Orion's helmet.
01:33:47
I was like, can it be Peacemaker's helmet?
01:33:49
And I'm looking at him. I'm like, Oh my God.
01:33:51
That is Orion's helmet. 100% is Orion's helmet.
01:33:54
In. A weird strange twist.
01:33:57
He has his like flying scooter thing but then he trades it for
01:34:01
the peacemaker cycle. Come on.
01:34:06
Yeah, yeah, Yeah, we have. OK.
01:34:08
So, so we have predicted the rest of the DCU on this show.
01:34:12
So let's let's move on. Yeah, all.
01:34:15
Right, so we've cracked the codes.
01:34:16
Move on. We've vibed trends, served the
01:34:19
New York Comic Con recap bites, and gave opinions with extra
01:34:23
spice. Let's wrap this up with the geek
01:34:25
and update where cosplay meets crowd control and the pop
01:34:30
culture pulse goes live. Will somebody leave Jen's
01:34:42
computer alone? They keep on, you know, leaving
01:34:44
weird stuff on the screen and and we don't appreciate it.
01:34:48
HR is very upset. I'm like what?
01:34:50
I haven't been in the office in months.
01:34:52
No like I. Said somebody keeps messing with
01:34:54
your computer and, and it's, it's upsetting the entire team.
01:34:57
So ladies and gentlemen, our schedule has changed.
01:35:01
Unfortunately, there was an event that happened and there's
01:35:05
going to be a postponement, a postponement of Fandom Con.
01:35:10
So Fandom Con is not going to be happening on the date that it
01:35:12
is. But the next show that we are
01:35:14
going to be at will be Fan Expo in San Francisco November 28th
01:35:18
through the 30th at Moscone, Moscone West.
01:35:21
Whole bunch of fun guests and different people that are going
01:35:24
to be there. I'm going specifically.
01:35:26
For her, I don't know. Who?
01:35:28
That is dog pool. Dog pool.
01:35:30
Oh, little dog pool. Isn't that Peggy?

01:39:07
people, like people from ET. That's cool.
01:39:09

01:39:40
be a lot of like smaller events happening.
01:39:42
So yeah, it'll be fun. Yeah.
01:39:45
So with that being said, if you want to go to a con and
01:39:48
represent distance nerding, easiest way to do that guys is
01:39:52
to get merch because we got merch people.
01:39:57
We got merge people and so can you.
01:39:59
All you got to do is DM us at distance nerding on Instagram
01:40:03
and let us know what kind of shirt you're looking for.
01:40:05
We got a black shirt. We got a grey shirt we got.
01:40:07
All different sizes, so if you want the logo shirt, the chase
01:40:10
version of it, or if you want the character shirt, we got that
01:40:13
as well. They're 20 bucks, 25 if you got
01:40:16
to ship it to you. But we typically bring them to
01:40:18
the events that we attend. So if you want one, people can
01:40:20
just pick one up. That's totally cool too.
01:40:22
All you got to do is message young Phil.
01:40:24
They're sitting in his in his house right now, just waiting.
01:40:27
Waiting. Waiting for your body.
01:40:29
Waiting to be worn that's. It we have we have stickers as
01:40:32
well, so you can see. Yes, we have those stickers.
01:40:34
We want those. We have other stickers.
01:40:36
We have all we have bags as well, so if you need a bag to
01:40:40
carry your con stuff, yeah. Yeah, there.
01:40:42
You go and we may have more. Merch that you purchase.
01:40:46
And we may have more merch coming soon, so keep your your
01:40:48
eyes out on that. By more merch I mean reaching.
01:40:52
For the stars. Oh wait, that.
01:40:54
By more merch, I mean we are coming out with a distance
01:40:57
nerding car and you are going to be able to get that it's going
01:40:59
to. Hell yeah.
01:41:02
And and and the the best part of the distance nerding car is that
01:41:05
you can leave James flapping in the wind.
01:41:08
You. Get a free towel with every
01:41:10
purchase. A free towel wiki purchase.
01:41:16
You put $30 on a discarded car to get a free towel.
01:41:19
Exactly. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
01:41:21
let's talk about our schedule. Distance nerding is God.
01:41:26
I messed myself up on Tuesdays. All the nerdy news on the
01:41:29
distance learning podcast, the show you're watching right now
01:41:32
from 6:30 to 8:30. Guys, we are doing all the fun
01:41:35
stuff. This is where you can come and
01:41:37
hang out with us, check out the news, learn about all the rumors
01:41:40
and all the fun things that are coming out Thursdays.
01:41:42
The build is still a thing from 6 to 8 this week where I'm
01:41:46
actually not going to be building anything this week
01:41:48
guys, because we have a massively big kind of guest deal
01:41:52
guest on the show this week. I'm I'm I'm very much selling.
01:41:56
I'm so excited. It's really hard for me to like
01:41:58
keep it under. So ladies and gentlemen, this
01:42:01
week the guest on the show is the CEO of, for a second, I
01:42:07
forgot the name, Kamazi Entertainment.
01:42:10
This is how excited I am. I am because it's a really big
01:42:17
deal for us. The CEO of Kamikaze
01:42:20
Entertainment, Chris Dimmelin, who is coming on the show to,
01:42:24
we're going to be doing a interview with him, but also
01:42:27
we're going to be doing a debrief of LA Comic Con and
01:42:31
talking about, you know, all the, everything that happened at
01:42:35
the show. What was it 2-3 weeks ago now,
01:42:39
right? So it's going to be a good time.
01:42:40
He's going to be on the show. We're going to talk with him.
01:42:44
I don't have anything to build, so we're going to do the
01:42:46
interview and then we're probably going to do a bunch of
01:42:48
brackets and have a whole bunch of fun, so.
01:42:50
You know, it's it's really cool because you know, we've gone to
01:42:53
a lot of cons. We do Gem State Comic Con.
01:42:56
Those are big cons, but LA Comic Con is another beast.
01:42:59
Yes, it's on a different level. And you know, once we we heard
01:43:04
that young Phil book this interview, immediately my brain
01:43:07
was like, I want to know what it takes to put together a show
01:43:11
like LA Comic Con and bring the guests and, and bring the
01:43:15
vendors into something like this and what the logistics are like
01:43:19
to put a show like this together, working with the
01:43:22
studios and working with all the different companies.
01:43:24
I'm so fascinated by this conversation that's going to be
01:43:27
happening. Especially something else I
01:43:29
really want to. Know, I really want to know like
01:43:31
the team he has behind him because you know, he can't do
01:43:34
everything himself. He must have a trusted staff.
01:43:37
And so it'd be kind of, it's kind of cool to see that too.
01:43:40
I do. You know somebody?
01:43:41
Yeah. Talk about stuff like.
01:43:42
That, and I'm excited about it too.
01:43:43
And actually, why the why Young Phil mentioned Kamikaze because
01:43:47
the show used to be called Kamikaze and that was from Stan
01:43:51
Lee. So this show actually started
01:43:52
from Stan Lee and then it morphed into LA Comic Con.
01:43:55
So there's some connections to Stan Lee and I can't wait to
01:43:58
hear about it. It's gonna be awesome.
01:43:59
Amazing. Yeah, it's gonna be, it's gonna
01:44:01
be awesome, guys. So TuneIn on Thursday we're
01:44:04
going to be talking with Christine Malin and then again
01:44:07
me and graveyard will probably do a bunch of brackets after
01:44:09
because we still have some catch up to finish the the summer of
01:44:13
brackets because we're no longer in the summer and we haven't
01:44:16
finished them yet. So Thursday or Friday, of
01:44:20
course, it's game night. Ladies and gentlemen, the buzzer
01:44:22
from 6:30 to 8:30 this week. It's right.
01:44:27
I know so for for this week do do we have a game planned or are
01:44:32
we? Just going to so well, OK, I am
01:44:34
going to attempt and I the keyword is attempt to have a
01:44:37
well really ready. OK, if all things go well, there
01:44:42
will be a well really this week. So I'm very excited about that.
01:44:45
I think it'll be fun. We'll be on the lookout, ladies
01:44:47
and gentlemen, we will have a game to play and worst case
01:44:50
scenario, if we don't have a game to play, we're going to
01:44:51
play Jackbox games. So we will always have something
01:44:57
that we are ready to do. So ladies and gentlemen, that is
01:45:02
it for the schedule. Guys, please give me a plug.
