🧠 Episode Summary
This week on Distance NERDing, the crew kicks in the door on chaos with Taco Tuesday energy and absolutely zero chill. From wild rumors about Avengers: Doomsday splitting into three multiversal battlegrounds, to Zendaya being "on the run", to Darkwing Duck making a heroic comeback, this episode is a nerdy buffet of speculation, hype, and hilarious derailments.
Along the way, the crew questions whether Spider-Man is actually showing up where he's not supposed to (classic Parker move), imagines New Jersey getting absolutely obliterated for plot reasons, and delivers top-tier nonsense like:
• "The worst kept secret on the internet"
• "The most handsome Filipino five-year-old you've ever met"
• And the kind of technical difficulties that deserve their own IMDb credit
It's part breaking news, part conspiracy board, and part group chat that accidentally went live.

That's right. Plan accordingly, ladies and
00:03:17
gentlemen, because we will be there.
00:03:19
So let's jump into the first story of the week, because we've
00:03:23
got some couple little Marvel stories going on here.
00:03:26
It's straight from J Film. All right, well, let's get into
00:03:35
these. J Jonah, Calm down, Calm down.
00:03:42
J Jonah. Technical difficulties there.
00:03:45
That's what I was trying to do. Let's take it off the screen.
00:03:49
All right, let's jump into this. The three body, I mean, war
00:03:55
problem. Yeah, let's go with that one.
00:03:59
A new report from Scooper, Majestic UCM or under score UCM
00:04:03
on Twitter claims Avengers Doomsday will split its heroes
00:04:06
across three massive battlegrounds in X-Men universe
00:04:09
under magical attack, a New York invasion featuring St. level and
00:04:13
powerhouse heroes in which New Jersey is destroyed, and a
00:04:17
Latvarian showdown tied directly to Doctor Doom.
00:04:21
The structure suggests a film designed to juggle multiple
00:04:25
teams, multiple tones and multiple universes all at once.
00:04:31
3 battles, 3 vibes. So X-Men world is attacked by
00:04:36
magical controlled magic controlled Sentinels, which is.
00:04:40
Which we've seen. Right, right, right.
00:04:42
So it's kind of like these magic controlled Sentinels.
00:04:45
You know, there's there's a couple of different storylines
00:04:47
that can go directly into that and that's kind of amazing New
00:04:51
York battle with Spider Man, Hulk, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop and
00:04:54
and other characters that are more St. level.
00:04:57
And then a lot very clash involving Doctor Doom, The
00:05:00
Avengers, the New Avengers and the Fantastic Four.
00:05:04
So before I jump into coming kind of the other things that we
00:05:06
have other other talking points we have on this, what are your
00:05:09
thoughts on those 3 battlegrounds man?
00:05:12
The X-Men finding the Sentinels makes sense, especially if
00:05:15
they're like magic controlled. That seems interesting.
00:05:19
The New York battle with Spider Man, Hulk.
00:05:22
Hawkeye. Kate Bishop.
00:05:24
I thought spider man wasn't in this movie?
00:05:28
That's what I understood was that Spider Man wasn't going to
00:05:30
be in this because the events of Brand New Day are supposed to be
00:05:37
taking place in parallel. Right, right.
00:05:40
So, I mean, there's a reason it could be.
00:05:43
It could be. We'll see.
00:05:45
The Latveria one seems pretty interesting.
00:05:47
Doctor Doom, The Avengers, The New Avengers and Fantastic Four.
00:05:51
Kind of like the way that one. I like the I like the way that
00:05:56
one's lining up. What do you think?
00:05:58
I like the idea of it too. Again, it makes a lot of sense
00:06:01
that you have almost a couple of different themes that are going
00:06:06
on. X-Men would be like a magic
00:06:07
theme, but then also you have that technology theme which ties
00:06:11
in directly with Doctor Doom and, and, and I love the idea of
00:06:15
that. You know, something more St.
00:06:18
level would kind of involve Daredevil and Defenders and kind
00:06:23
of, you know, I'm hoping season 2 of, of Daredevil, which we're
00:06:27
going to be getting what in next month?
00:06:28
Actually, it's in April, right? Yeah, you're right.
00:06:32
So next month we're getting Daredevil Season 2.
00:06:36
I'm I'm hoping the events of that lead into something that
00:06:39
kind of ties in with this, you know what I mean?
00:06:43
And then the lat bury a clash. I'm I it's we need this man.
00:06:46
We need Doctor doom, just kind of like showing his his prowess
00:06:52
over The Avengers, over the new Avengers, over the Fantastic
00:06:55
Four. I I I love the idea of this.
00:06:58
Yeah, I hope they set up Doctor Doom to show how powerful he is
00:07:04
and how smart he is, like, right off the bat, like, show us what
00:07:08
he can do. And be like, everybody's like,
00:07:09
whoa, OK, this guy means business.
00:07:12
That's what I want to see at a Doctor Doom.
00:07:14
And then he can take it up another level once he does that
00:07:17
heel turn. Yeah, right.
00:07:20
So multiversal stakes on this. Supposedly the Spider man we're
00:07:24
getting is Tobey Maguire and it's going to be in in the
00:07:28
opening scene. And it it may end with the
00:07:32
complete destruction of Tobey Maguire's universe.
00:07:35
That is not the first time I've heard that.
00:07:37
I've heard that multiple times, man.
00:07:39
I've heard that Tobey Maguire is going to die right off the bat
00:07:42
in this movie. And it's just a set up just how
00:07:46
heavy the stakes are in this. You know, now the creative team
00:07:51
is going to be Michael Waldron and Stephen Mcfeely.
00:07:54
So I I love that Mcfeely's still going to be in this.
00:07:56
And it's directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, You know, so the
00:07:59
Russos are going to be kind of bringing on that Avengers flair
00:08:03
that they're known for, right? The release date is still going
00:08:07
to be December 18th of this year.
00:08:09
So I mean, it's it's close. It is not that far away.
00:08:12
It would that the movie will be in theaters before we even know
00:08:14
it, man. Nine months.
00:08:16
Nine months. I think, think about it this
00:08:19
way, it's been 3-4 months since we got that first teaser drop.
00:08:24
Yeah. So time is.
00:08:26
It almost doesn't feel like it's been that long, you know what I
00:08:28
mean? So to everybody out there, all
00:08:31
of the views are the listeners. What do you guys think?
00:08:33
Do you guys think that we're going to be getting an all out
00:08:35
war or is this The Avengers giving a final chance to peace?
00:08:40
Let us know. We shall see.
00:08:42
Tell us in the comments. So moving on to the next story
00:08:46
here. Let's paint the multiverse,
00:08:50
Scarlett. No.
00:08:52
OK, that was I was waiting for your reaction.
00:08:55
A new rumor by scooper the Beyond beyond reporter, which
00:08:58
again, we need to become Hollywood scoopers.
00:09:00
How the whole let us know how to do this?
00:09:04
I'm going to Google how to become a Hollywood insider.
00:09:07
ChatGPT and it'll tell you how to do it beyond reporter claims
00:09:11
Elizabeth Olsen, Scarlet Witch will return in Avengers
00:09:13
Doomsday, but not as an ally. Instead, she may be resurrected
00:09:18
or controlled by a spell cast by Robert Downey Junior's Doctor
00:09:21
Doom, turning one of the Marvel's most powerful heroes
00:09:25
into a weapon against The Avengers.
00:09:28
Oh my God, this makes sense, especially given the last time
00:09:32
that we saw Scarlet Witch she she supposedly died right now if
00:09:39
Robert Downey Junior's Doctor Doom if he gets a hold of the
00:09:42
dark hold, it's not like unplausible for him to resurrect
00:09:49
Scarlet Witch. Right.
00:09:51
Where did where did she technic? Where did she die?
00:09:55
Wonder Gore. Wonder Gore, Yeah.
00:09:58
Is that in Latveria supposedly? Actually I think.
00:10:01
They never really said. I think Wonder Gore is in
00:10:04
Latveria. Hold on, I got to look it up.
00:10:07
So I was just thinking I'm like, how does she come back?
00:10:10
How does how does Doctor doom convince her or put her under
00:10:13
her spell? Like what's the connection to
00:10:16
convince her that she needs to be fighting along his side?
00:10:22
By the way, I thought the whole like Scarlet Witch getting into
00:10:26
the the fisticuffs of it all, I thought she was going to be the
00:10:30
one controlling the Sentinels. You know, like she was whipping
00:10:35
them around and they were like how how come we can't beat these
00:10:37
Sentinels is because she's controlling them?
00:10:40
So according to Marvel, Wonder Gore is in the transient
00:10:46
mountains, but the transient mountain range spans.
00:10:51
So it's a fictional country called Transia.
00:10:55
It's it's spans between Transia, Segovia and Latveria.
00:10:59
See. So Wonder Gore is not in
00:11:02
Latveria, but the mountain range that Wonder Gore is in.
00:11:05
But for the NCU, they might just, they might just shrink it
00:11:09
all up. They could.
00:11:10
We don't need all this other stuff.
00:11:11
They could they could easily again, I'm I'm 100% on I'm I'm
00:11:18
on board for this. I, I like the idea of, of, of,
00:11:22
you know, resurrecting that so doom spell Wanda is rumored to
00:11:26
return under doctor Doom's control, reversing their Age of
00:11:28
Ultron dynamic and raising the stakes for every hero on board.
00:11:32
A magically controlled Scarlet Witch could instantly shift the
00:11:35
balance of the three front war. And then the, the this twist
00:11:40
would give Wanda a dramatic re entry without undoing her
00:11:43
emotional arc from Doctor Strange.
00:11:44
So like kind of what I was mentioning, you know, this would
00:11:47
be a way to bring her back, but do it in a way that is almost
00:11:52
subversive, you know what I mean?
00:11:53
Like, it's not her coming back. And it's like, oh, she died and
00:11:57
she just, you know, they're just bringing her back.
00:12:00
It's more like Doctor Doom is bringing her back as an agent of
00:12:03
him. And it's almost, it's almost
00:12:06
poetic because this is also very reminiscent of the way that you,
00:12:12
that you bring back vision, you know what I mean?
00:12:14
So, you know, it's, it's, there are, it's just a way to bring
00:12:18
the character back without it being something very, you know.
00:12:22
What if, what if this is how we get Vision back is if she's all
00:12:27
crazy doing all the things and then all of a sudden Vision
00:12:31
shows up to to help in the battle somehow and she sees him
00:12:34
and it's like he just drives her nuts.
00:12:37
We, I don't know. Anyway.
00:12:38
So my only question on that is Vision Quest.
00:12:43
When does Vision Quest come out? I'm looking up the date right
00:12:45
now. By the way, as you're looking
00:12:48
that up again, Avengers Doomsday, December 18th, right?
00:12:52
Geek freaks in the chat said same day as Dune.
00:12:56
Right. So Dune 3 is coming out the same
00:12:58
day, which I think we have something about that later.
00:13:01
And we're just starting to see the push for that so.
00:13:03
Yeah, trailer came out. Another trailer came out.
00:13:08
So as of right now, Vision Quest doesn't have a date, but Disney
00:13:14
plus, I guess they're they're doing the Netflix hold it close
00:13:16
to the chest thing. They're saying that it's
00:13:19
supposed to come out mid to late 2026, which means if it's mid to
00:13:23
late 2026, potentially that's before before doomsday.
00:13:30
Yeah. So probably August, September
00:13:32
ish. Yeah, October maybe, but
00:13:36
interesting. OK, cool.
00:13:38
Yeah. So like if they come out, if
00:13:40
Vision Quest comes out before Doomsday, then yes, this may be
00:13:46
a way for us to get like a full vision back.
00:13:49
You know, like cuz right now we have anti vision, which I don't
00:13:53
know if they're going to address that he's anti vision.
00:13:55
But I mean, according to the comics, he's anti vision at this
00:13:57
point. You know, this might be the way
00:14:01
to get him back because we do have Wonder Man and Wonder Man
00:14:05
plays a big role in, in, in, in the creation of vision.
00:14:11
Because Wonder Man wasn't around when they did a vision
00:14:14
originally. This may be a way to bring him
00:14:17
back. You use Wonder Man as, as a key
00:14:20
character on that because they use Wonder Man's brain waves to,
00:14:25
to create vision. So this could be a way that they
00:14:28
could kind of just like tie that in.
00:14:30
And that's how we get vision back.
00:14:32
We get the full version of vision back.
00:14:34
We'll see. That's a little far fetched for
00:14:36
what they're doing with with Wonder Man right now, but OK,
00:14:40
we'll see. We'll, we'll leave it out there
00:14:42
and shout out to say Wong, since he's split screening us with
00:14:45
NBC, you know? He's keeping up with the news.

00:16:37
to lead a new take on the Fugitive.
00:16:40
Interesting. According to a rumor from Giant
00:16:43
Freaking Robot, the report suggests the actress could star
00:16:46
in a modern reimagining of the classic thriller, though no
00:16:51
studio director or official development details have been
00:16:54
confirmed. If the project moves forward,
00:16:56
then Daya would not be playing a gender swap version of Doctor
00:17:00
Richard Kimble, but rather a new character built around the same
00:17:04
core premise of a wrongly accused person on the run.
00:17:08
I'm kind of OK with this. That's, that's very interesting.
00:17:13
I, I mean, I don't, I don't necessarily have a problem with
00:17:16
it. You know, I, I, I love
00:17:17
Harrison's, Harrison Ford's take on the character, but I mean,
00:17:20
it's not it, it was, it was a one and done movie.
00:17:22
So it's not something that you kind of have to, you know, run
00:17:25
off of that premise and say, oh, you know, you, you have to redo
00:17:29
it exactly the way it was in the 90s.
00:17:31
I mean, you rewrite it in a way that makes sense.
00:17:34
You know, as long as it's a good story, as long as it's still
00:17:36
that same kind of dynamic with the, the, the US Marshall and,
00:17:42
and and the wrongly accused Dr., then I'm OK with it.
00:17:45
Yeah, I I agree. And they can easily turn this
00:17:47
into a series, like an 8 episode series.
00:17:51
Maybe it runs for a season or two or three.
00:17:53
You know, easily could be done, easily could be done.
00:17:56
All right, let's keep it going, Scooby-doo.
00:18:00
Whoa, Raggy. Scooby-doo has another owner.
00:18:05
Paul Walter Hauser is reportedly being eyed for a supporting role
00:18:10
in Netflix's upcoming live action scooby-doo series,
00:18:13
According to a new report from What's on Netflix, the project
00:18:17
will explore the origin of Mystery Inc and follow a young
00:18:22
Shaggy, Velma, Daphne and Freddie as they investigate the
00:18:26
first major case. I don't have we gotten this.
00:18:29
I don't know if we've gotten like their first case.
00:18:32
We've gotten kind of like takes on this kind of thing, but not
00:18:37
like a full story of it. Who would Paul Walter Hauser
00:18:42
play though? I don't know, we'll see.
00:18:44
The rumor suggests Hauser may be playing Scooby Doo's original
00:18:49
owner rather than a member of the gang.
00:18:51
You know, that's actually kind of smart though.
00:18:53
No official casting confirmation has been made.
00:18:56
Production on the 8 episode series is expected to begin in
00:19:01
April in Hot Lana. So Paul Walter Hauser is just
00:19:04
going to play another Stoner. Imagine that.
00:19:07
Yeah, I mean, he, he has to be a the, the, the dude who creates
00:19:12
Scooby-doo. Like the, the guy who raises the
00:19:15
dog that becomes Scooby-doo has to be, has to be a Stoner.
00:19:18
Yeah, exactly. All right.
00:19:21
OK, Hannah can buy her own flowers now by My Own Flowers.
00:19:28
Miley Cyrus returns as Hannah Montana in the first trailer for
00:19:31
Disney Plus's Hannah Montana 20th anniversary special.
00:19:35
The special brings Cyrus back in the iconic role in a nostalgic
00:19:40
celebration filmed in front of a live studio audience.
00:19:44
I didn't even know people still did that.
00:19:47
Featuring recreated sets like from the Stewart family living
00:19:51
room and the original Hannah Montana closet, the event also
00:19:55
includes an in depth interview conducted by Call Her Daddy host
00:20:01
Alex Cooper, along with archival footage and reflections on the
00:20:04
show's legacy. The Hannah Montana special
00:20:07
premieres March 24th. I thought it was going to be
00:20:10
like a like a, another episode, but it's just going to be like a
00:20:14
kind of a reunion episode. So all right.
00:20:18
It's Hannah Montana as an adult. So I mean, you know.
00:20:21
I I had nieces that watched Hannah Montana get on them.
00:20:24
I never watched it, so I don't know.
00:20:26
Kind of like the dynamic. I know you watched it.
00:20:28
I never did actually. The only thing I know because
00:20:31
just from like seeing kind of like Disney saying here's what
00:20:34
Hannah Montana is, the only thing I know, at least I'm going
00:20:37
to guess here, is that she is Billy Ray Cyrus's daughter.
00:20:42
But she's like secretly a singer or something like that.
00:20:46
Don't play dumb. You know exactly who the Anna
00:20:49
Montana is. Look Matt in the chat, Knights
00:20:52
of OWA is admitting that he's stupid excited for this.
00:20:54
You should be stupid. No, I'm not saying, OK, so look,
00:20:57
I'm, I'm not, I'm not saying like, oh, hey, you know, I'm,
00:21:01
I'm too cool. When I never saw this.
00:21:03
I, I legitimately never watched this show.
00:21:05
It was out of my age range by the time this show was on TV and
00:21:10
it wasn't something that I was interested in watching.
00:21:13
Because by this point, Hannah. No, by by this point I was.
00:21:16
I was in a different fandom and I was more into other things, so
00:21:20
I never actually watched it. We get it, you have tattoos now.
00:21:24
You don't have to like Hannah Montana.
00:21:25
Let's keep it going. Hold on night of OA, is that
00:21:27
actually the plot of the show? Because I they literally I
00:21:29
picked that up from commercials. That's.
00:21:34
Good. That's pretty funny, all right.
00:21:36
This next one's going to get you though.
00:21:38
Insert dark dark wing duck catch phrase here.
00:21:42
Does he have a catch phrase? I didn't think about that.
00:21:44
I am the I am the knight. That's something that flaps in
00:21:47
the knight. That's right, that's right.
00:21:49
OK Jim Cummings has shared a promising update on Seth Rogen's
00:21:54
planned Darkwing Duck reboot for Disney Plus.
00:21:57
Cummings confirmed that development of the revival is
00:22:01
still active, revealing that the team has already recorded at
00:22:05
least one early piece of material.
00:22:08
He also hinted that the new series may age up Gosling
00:22:12
Gosling and explore an older version of Darkwing Duck.
00:22:16
Oh, interesting. This is going to be like like.
00:22:19
It's it's Dark Knight Returns, but with Darkwing Duck.
00:22:21
Oh, what was I going to say? Batman Beyond?
00:22:24
It's it's like Darkwing Beyond. No, because if it's supposed to
00:22:28
be like an aged version of Darkwing Duck, then this would
00:22:30
be more like Dark Knight Dark Knight Returns.
00:22:33
This is like the older 50. Year old Batman, you know what I
00:22:36
mean? All right, exploring an older
00:22:39
version of Darkwing Duck signaling evolution rather than
00:22:41
a full reinvention. Disney Plus has not announced a
00:22:45
release window. Cummings emphasized that the
00:22:48
character's return is long overdue and that Seth Rogen
00:22:52
remains a driving force behind the project.
00:22:54
Again, shout out to Seth Rogen. He he knows how to put together
00:22:58
animation. I'm just throwing this out
00:22:59
there. Never let anything happen to
00:23:02
Seth Rogen. I'm sorry.
00:23:04
Nothing ever. OK, The the, the man made some
00:23:07
of the best Stoner movies in like history next to Kevin
00:23:11
Smith, right? Like the movies that he's been
00:23:16
in, right? Seth Rogen is amazing.
00:23:20
And again, the stuff he produces are are just top notch, right?
00:23:27
Preacher was amazing. The boys is amazing, Invincible
00:23:30
is amazing. Everything that he the studio
00:23:34
great show, everything that he is involved in is cinematic
00:23:39
perfection. I, I I.
00:23:40
Say invincible. Yeah, Invincible.
00:23:42
Not only is he a character on that show, but he's an executive
00:23:45
producer for that show. So it's like, you know,
00:23:48
everything Seth Rogen touches is fucking gold.
00:23:51
And the fact that he's executive producing Darkwing Duck is and
00:23:55
and he got Jim Cummings. I'm sure Jim Jim Cummings did
00:23:58
not press any reason to not do that character because Jim
00:24:01
Cummings loves Darkwing Duck. Yeah, he also loves Winnie the
00:24:06
Pooh, but you know. Because he was Winnie the.
00:24:08
Because he is Winnie the Pooh. Still is.
00:24:09
Exactly. Exactly.
00:24:11
And take her too. And OK, I'm going to keep it
00:24:17
going. All right, He has the gym
00:24:21
membership. Dolph Lundgren's rumored cameo
00:24:24
in Travis Knight's live action Masters of the Universe reboot
00:24:27
has reportedly been revealed. Spoiler alert, according to a
00:24:31
report by he mania.com, which is an incredible name.
00:24:37
Lundgren, who played Prince Adam in He Man in back in 1987, is
00:24:44
said to not appear on Eternity but on Earth, which makes sense
00:24:49
in a brief gym scene where he gives advice to Nicholas
00:24:54
Gazeltini's Galatini. That's what I said.
00:24:57
Gazeltini, Adam before parting with the classic franchise send
00:25:03
off good journey. The moment is described as a
00:25:07
playful passing of the torch rather than a major plot role,
00:25:11
keeping the focus on the new story while honoring the
00:25:14
original star. OK, that's cool.
00:25:18
That that that seems in line with a lot of the cameos when
00:25:21
the original characters come come back.
00:25:23
Yeah. I I actually do like the idea of
00:25:30
you bring in Dolph Lundgren and he's not, you know, immediately
00:25:34
a major character or anything like that.
00:25:36
You have him in there and he's just the dude he sees in the
00:25:38
gym. Yeah, And, you know, it, it just
00:25:40
kind of honors what he's done. Like it wasn't the best movie in
00:25:45
the world, but like for the people that grew up on on he
00:25:49
man, playing with the toys, watching the cartoons and then
00:25:52
probably watching that movie. And this is before anything was,
00:25:56
you know, this is what is it, late 80s. 87. 8087 like, you
00:26:02
know, cheesy movies like yeah, this is great.
00:26:04
I can't believe we're getting a he man movie.
00:26:06
This is this is amazing. So we'll we'll take it, whatever
00:26:09
it is. So good for that for honoring
00:26:11
Dolph Lundgren. Yeah, all I know is if any if,
00:26:16
if we don't get Guildwire in this, it's not.
00:26:18
It's not worth watching. Oh my goodness.
00:26:22
Gildor was in the cartoon, not in the original cartoon, but
00:26:25
they, Kevin Smith put him in Revelation as a like major
00:26:28
character and he made a bunch of references to the movie and
00:26:32
basically canonized the movie. Very nice.
00:26:35
Yeah. So it's it's great.
00:26:38
All right, next one, a sequel to a prequel.
00:26:42
Are we all having a moment? Sequel to a prequel of a prequel
00:26:46
of a sequel. OK, Michael Sarnovsky is
00:26:50
reportedly being eyed to direct a sequel to Alien Romulus.
00:26:55
Interesting. That is very interesting.
00:26:57
According to a new report from Nexus Point News, the filmmaker
00:27:01
is described as the perfect candidate to take offer after
00:27:05
Fetty Alvarez stepped away from directing.
00:27:08
Alvarez and Saez have already written the screenplay and
00:27:15
ensuring the continuity with the characters and story
00:27:18
established. An alien Romulus.
00:27:22
If Sarnosky signs on, he would inherit a series renewed moment
00:27:27
with renewed momentum and a cast of surviving characters whose
00:27:30
arcs Alvarez has emphasized protecting.
00:27:34
I really enjoy how they're handling the Alien franchise and
00:27:40
all everything they're doing with it.
00:27:42
I really enjoy what they're doing with Predator and what
00:27:45
they're doing with it. Whoever they're putting in
00:27:48
charge of these IPS know how to honor the IP.
00:27:52
Yeah, absolutely. So if if they're eyeing
00:27:57
Sarnovsky to do this and they're like hand picking him, OK, cool,
00:28:01
let's see what happens with this.
00:28:02
I like, I like where it's going. Fetty Alvarez killed it.
00:28:05
He was, he was so good at the way he did the the the first
00:28:09
movie. It was.
00:28:09
It was great. I almost see, I thought they
00:28:12
were going to put Fetty Alvarez in charge of this franchise,
00:28:16
like the way they put Dan Trachtenberg in charge of
00:28:19
Predator. I thought it was going to be
00:28:20
like, you know, he's the Kevin Feige of this franchise, you
00:28:25
know, that sort of thing. Yeah.
00:28:26
Yeah. So we'll see.
00:28:27
Who knows? It could, it could still happen.
00:28:29
But yeah, I'm excited for that. That's awesome.
00:28:31
Absolutely, man. So let's see.
00:28:34
That was my last story. We're going to we're going to
00:28:36
jump into a couple of other stories, but before we do that,
00:28:39

00:29:54
stories that we're talking about, we want to hear from you
00:29:56
guys. So let us let us know what's
00:29:57
going on. With that being said, let's
00:30:00
continue on with the rest of the news here.
00:30:04
So some exciting news here. Number One's final mission?
00:30:09
In a recent interview with Trek Movie, Jonathan Frakes revealed
00:30:13
that directing an episode of Star Trek Starfleet Academy
00:30:16
could be his final time behind the camera for the franchise.
00:30:20
With the series wrapped and the broader Star Trek universe
00:30:23
currently in a holding pattern, Frakes acknowledged that his
00:30:27
project may close out his decades long run as one of the
00:30:30
franchise's most influential directors.
00:30:33
So Frakes has directed across Star Trek, The Next Generation,
00:30:37
Deep Space 9, Voyager, Discovery, Picard, and Strange
00:30:42
New Worlds. With Paramount restructuring and
00:30:45
the franchise awaiting new green lights, Frakes notes that the
00:30:48
future is kind of uncertain, so he describes the possibility of
00:30:52
this being his last outing as bittersweet given his decades
00:30:56
long connection to the universe. Star Trek Starfleet Academy is
00:30:59
expected to debut in 2026. Did it not already start?
00:31:03
It's already it's it's I was gonna say.
00:31:05
That's yeah, we kind of wrote that wrong.
00:31:06
I was gonna say, I thought we were already on this.
00:31:09
I think it's supposed to say debut, not expected to debut.
00:31:12
My bad. OK, but have you watched?
00:31:14
I watched it. I enjoyed it.
00:31:16
It took a little while to get into, but it was part of it was
00:31:18
mainly the character development.
00:31:21
Yeah, I've heard of it. Snowburn.
00:31:23
But I heard that it's very Star Trek though.
00:31:25
It it just takes time getting like who are these characters?
00:31:29
What kind of Arc are they going to go on?
00:31:31
How do they come together as a team, that sort of thing Yeah, I
00:31:35
it took a little while, but but I started to enjoy it so and it,
00:31:39
you know, honestly, it's big budget.
00:31:42
It looked really good, really good.
00:31:45
The set designs were amazing the the colors in the show were
00:31:50
amazing. So they they held no money back.
00:31:54
They went after it. Yeah.
00:31:56
And again, as long as everything serves the story right, when it
00:32:00
comes to Trek, story is everything.
00:32:01
So as long as everything they do is serving the story, then then
00:32:06
you know, it is what it is. As far as Jonathan Frakes, it is
00:32:09
a little bittersweet, is a little bit sad to hear that he
00:32:12
is not going to be doing any more Star Trek moving forward.
00:32:16
Potentially. Potentially.
00:32:17
Not I was going to say it's going to be interesting to see
00:32:19
where he goes though, what he does from here.
00:32:23
So I mean, you know this this may be his final voyage, but
00:32:26
what do you guys think of that? You know, do you guys think that
00:32:29
this is the time for him to bow out?
00:32:31
Do you guys think that he should continue on?
00:32:33
Let us know in the comments and that way we know what's going
00:32:35
on. Will do.
00:32:37
We'll do Guildor. No, yes, yes, Guildor.
00:32:43
OK Lord of the Rings casts another Kate because we need
00:32:48
more Kates in in Gondor. A new report claims Kate Winslet
00:32:53
has officially joined the Lord of the Rings The hunt for Gollum
00:32:56
taking on a key role opposing Andy Serkis, who is both
00:33:00
starring as Gollum and directing the film.
00:33:02
While her character has not been revealed, the casting signals
00:33:06
that the project is aiming for prestige level performances as
00:33:10
it expands the cinematic world of Tolkien beyond the main
00:33:13
trilogy. So Kate Winslet, Kate Winslet's
00:33:18
edition brings Oscar level gravitas to the first film in
00:33:22
Warner Brothers new Lord of the Rings initiative and the circus
00:33:25
returns as Gollum. And, you know, we, we, we kind
00:33:29
of did wouldn't want anybody else to play Gollum at this
00:33:31
point. And is going to be directing,
00:33:33
marking his first time helming a Middle Earth feature.
00:33:37
So he's directed a few films, but this is the first time he's
00:33:39
actually going back to, you know, kind of the place that
00:33:41
that made him famous. And he's going to be directing
00:33:44
the film as well. Film explores Gollum's hunt for
00:33:47
the One Ring and his pursuit of Bilbo Baggins after The Hobbit.
00:33:51
So it seems like this is taking place between The Hobbit and the
00:33:54
Lord of the rings in the time where where Gollum or or
00:33:59
Schmiedl is looking for the ring after he he lost it to Bilbo
00:34:04
Baggins Lord of the rings. The hunt for Gollum is currently
00:34:07
slated for later this year. So guys, if I say guys, and I
00:34:11
mean the the audience as well, if Kate Winslet is anchoring the
00:34:16
human side of the story, Middle Earth's next chapter may be far
00:34:19
more character driven than anyone expected.
00:34:22
James, what do you think? I'm good with this.
00:34:25
I I like Kate Winslet. Like when I think about her, I
00:34:28
think of Titanic. But then when I see her in other
00:34:32
projects, I forget. I forgot, like, how good of an
00:34:35
actress she is. Yeah.
00:34:36
So I'm OK with her coming on board.
00:34:40
Lord Lord of the Rings. I assume she's going to be an
00:34:43
elf, but I don't know. She is one of those people where
00:34:47
she's so pretty she has to be a be an elf.
00:34:51
But I also would not put it past them to make her a Hobbit.
00:34:55
Right. Yeah.
00:34:56
Yeah, she could be like Sam, Wise Ganges, like Boothang.
00:35:00
You know, I'm, I'm OK. I would expect because if if
00:35:04
this is after The Hobbit in between.
00:35:06
Like if this is after The Hobbit and before before Lord of the
00:35:12
Rings, I would expect that this is when Bilbo was a little bit
00:35:15
younger. So this would probably be Sam
00:35:18
Wise, Gangi's mom. Easy.
00:35:21
All right. She's going to be like, paint me
00:35:23
like one of your Hobbit girls, Sam wise.
00:35:27
Paint me like you had, like like I have hairy feet.
00:35:31
Oh goodness, this is getting weird.
00:35:33
You like my hairy feet? No.
00:35:35
No. It's a kink, don't kink shame.
00:35:40
That's what it. Is dirty, muddy, hairy.
00:35:41
Feet Oh God, that is disgusting. Just the thought of it as making
00:35:47
me cringe. So let's let's get into this.
00:35:50
This is this is massive news. I just had a whole another
00:35:52
conversation about this yesterday.
00:35:54
So we're going to talk about this next story and I I, I I
00:35:57
imagine This is why James had me do this because he knows I have
00:36:00
a take for this take my love, take my land.
00:36:04
I have something for this. You have a pause.
00:36:06
That's what you have. Shut up and take my money.
00:36:09
There we go. In a recent appearance, Nathan
00:36:12
Filion and Nathan Filion alone, if you watch the video, you know
00:36:16
what I mean, revealed that an animated Firefly series is
00:36:19
currently in development and that the original cast is
00:36:22
expected to reprise their roles. While details remain under
00:36:27
wraps, Filion emphasized that the project is actively moving
00:36:31
forward and represents the most concrete progress the franchise
00:36:34
has seen in years. Filion Filion and again, Fillion
00:36:38
alone and no one else, says the entire main cast is involved,
00:36:43
marking the first time the full ensemble has reunited for a new
00:36:47
Firefly project since the 2005 film Serenity.
00:36:51
Billion notes that animation allows the show to continue
00:36:54
without the constraints of aging actors or expensive live action
00:36:57
production. No network or platform has been
00:37:01
officially announced, but the project is described as inactive
00:37:05
development. No release window yet, but the
00:37:07
cast's involvement suggests the project is further along than
00:37:11
previous reveals. Revival attempts.
00:37:14
If this animated revival sticks to landing, Firefly might
00:37:18
finally get the Second Life. Fans have been manifesting for
00:37:21
two decades. 24 years since season. 124 years.
00:37:30
That's amazing. And we have been absolutely, for
00:37:34
those 24 years, we have all been clamoring for more Firefly, and
00:37:39
we're finally getting something. I love that it's at least
00:37:42
animated just because they all have different things going on,
00:37:46
you know? So it's like, hey, we can't get
00:37:48
together to do this because like half of these guys are like, you
00:37:50
know, giant movie stars now, right?
00:37:53
And TV stars. And TV stars like Nathan
00:37:55
Fillion, Marina Bacaran, both in different versions of The
00:37:58
Recruit. Sorry, is it the Recruit?
00:38:02
No, it's the rookie. The Rookie.
00:38:04
And then she's on sheriff, Sheriff country, which is a spin
00:38:08
off of fire country. Right, right.
00:38:11
Obviously Alan Tuddick is in everything.
00:38:14
Right. Right.
00:38:16
Just I, I, I love that Summer Glau looks like she hasn't aged
00:38:20
at all. Yeah, Like, how is Summer Glau
00:38:24
still like as hot as she is and still looks the same exact age
00:38:28
she was like, I love it. I, I, I I'm so excited to get
00:38:34
more Firefly. And and we again, we were having
00:38:37
a conversation about this whole thing about, you know, Firefly
00:38:42
coming back in an animated form. It makes a lot of sense because
00:38:45
you can pick up right where it left off.
00:38:48
The question is, does it take place between Season 1 and
00:38:53
Serenity or is it going to take place after Serenity?
00:38:56
Because Serenity kind of like closed a couple of doors on
00:38:59
things or good point. Does it?
00:39:01
Retcon Serenity. That's a good point, I guess
00:39:05
we'd have to go back and take a look.
00:39:07
What the I still can't believe it was only one season, like 11
00:39:10
episodes or something like that. Because Fox was stupid and
00:39:13
decided we were going to get rid of it.
00:39:15
And then I think it was one of those things where it was like,
00:39:17
we can't admit that we were wrong, so we're never going to
00:39:19
put the show back on the air even though 24 years of a fan
00:39:22
base on a single season show. Yeah, yeah.
00:39:26
And then Disney's like, wait a second, this is valuable IP.
00:39:30
We're doing something with it. You know what's funny is when
00:39:32
Disney bought Fox, like we all knew that they were going to
00:39:35
fold in all of the X-Men stuff with with the the MCU.
00:39:41
But I also remember when they bought Fox, the biggest thing
00:39:45
that everyone was saying was Disney owns Firefly now.
00:39:48
So we'll see if Disney does something with Firefly, right?
00:39:50
Like the fan base has never left.
00:39:54
Right. Yeah, that's so weird.
00:39:55
Like it never left. It's always been right there,
00:39:57
just waiting. Yeah, and there's not very many
00:39:59
things, not very many IPS that are out there that can say, you
00:40:03
know, we the fan base didn't leave and the show only had one
00:40:07
season. Yeah, I think The Expanse is the
00:40:09
only thing that comes close. And Bezos bought The Expanse and
00:40:13
and ended up going like 20 seasons with it.
00:40:16
I know something crazy, something crazy, but you know, I
00:40:19
was just looking it up. The rookie Nathan Fillion show
00:40:23
is on ABC. So he probably went to Disney,
00:40:28
went to everybody at at ABC was like, hey, how do we make this
00:40:31
happen? It's there's a there's a fan
00:40:33
base out there. How do we make this happen?
00:40:35
And he pushed for it and made it happen.
00:40:37
So kudos to him. I love how he brought together
00:40:41
the original cast and how he showed them off and all those
00:40:44
little videos, all those little vignettes.
00:40:46
It was so good, and it showed how successful everybody is.
00:40:50
They were all doing their own projects, their own shows, their
00:40:54
own movies, and they're all like, is it time?
00:40:57
It's time. I, I can't wait to talk to both
00:40:59
Alan and Adam about this because we're going to see them in, in
00:41:04
May in at Gem State Comic Con, because I mean, there he, he
00:41:10
made a video with Adam. He made a video with Alan.
00:41:12
So we know that he's got them on board, right?
00:41:15
And I, I, I even already wrote a joke.
00:41:17
I'm not going to reveal it, but I already wrote a joke on how
00:41:20
we're going to introduce Alan to the show.
00:41:23
I don't know if you saw on our group chat.
00:41:25
Yeah, I'll, I'll, we'll leave it at.
00:41:26
That yeah, that's what I'm saying.
00:41:28
Just go to Gem State guys, and you'll get to see this joke that
00:41:31
I wrote for him. But if you didn't watch the
00:41:33
announcement at Awesome Con, it's it's absolutely genius and
00:41:37
hilarious at the same time because basically Nathan went
00:41:42
and wrote cards for everybody to read.
00:41:45
And all of them start with all of them saying, hi, I'm Nathan
00:41:49
Fillion. It was great.
00:41:54
But like each of them gave like different pieces, right?
00:41:57
So like, you know, hey, we should not, you know, fans have
00:42:00
been saying they want another show.
00:42:01
And then and then we get to Gina's part and Gina goes, hey,
00:42:05
so you know, the only way that we could do this is if we
00:42:08
animated it and the entire audience went nuts.
00:42:12
And then Nathan, when Nathan actually talks, he goes, so I
00:42:16
needed an OK from Fox and Disney, I got that.
00:42:20
I needed the entire cast, I got that.
00:42:23
I needed showrunners. We got the showrunners, you
00:42:27
know, so like he kind of just basically said, you know, we
00:42:29
this is happening, we're getting more Firefly.
00:42:33
So this is something where we can say definitively this and
00:42:39
Sonic, because the fans were so rabid to for the IP, you guys
00:42:45
got what you wanted. And I say you guys as if I'm not
00:42:49
a fan as well. I'm a massive Firefly fan as
00:42:52
well. But I mean, you know, just
00:42:55
that's the whole thing is all the fans online clamoring for
00:42:58
this. We got it guys.
00:43:00
And we, we, this is one of the things where I can say thank you
00:43:04
to the fans. I'm looking it up as well and I
00:43:07
was like who's going to be the animation house on this?
00:43:09
But it it looks like it's going to be Shadow Machine, the Oscar
00:43:14
and Emmy winning studio behind Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio
00:43:18
and Bojack Horseman. Interesting.
00:43:21
OK, that's two different types of animation that they put they
00:43:25
put out. So it's going to be interesting
00:43:26
to see what they do with this. Yeah, yeah.
00:43:30
But it just shows they went big for this.
00:43:32
Yeah. So let's let's move on because
00:43:35
again, I can talk Firefly all night, but I can also talk this
00:43:38
next IP. Before we get into that, maybe
00:43:40
we do some kind, I mean it's not that long of a show, maybe we do
00:43:43
some kind of Firefly rewatch that may be kind of fun to to do
00:43:47
that before the show lands wherever it lands that.
00:43:50
Could absolutely be fun just to do an entire season of Firefly
00:43:54
with the with, with, with all the fans out there, with
00:43:56
everybody out there. So we'll put that out on
00:43:59
Instagram and I'll put out a poll and just let us know if you
00:44:02
guys are interested in when doing a Firefly rewatch with us.
00:44:05
I like it. Yeah, I'm sure graveyard would
00:44:08
be super down to do that. Yeah, there you go.
00:44:11
So come to the dark side, they said.
00:44:14
Now I'm locked in or now I'm locked in the battle with the
00:44:17
with granddad. A new report from Marvel reveals
00:44:22
that Star Wars Darth Vader #58 will feature the first ever
00:44:26
showdown between Darth Vader and Kylo Ren, bringing together the
00:44:29
Dark side Titans across time through the force driven
00:44:32
confrontation. The story comes from writer Greg
00:44:34
Pack and artist Rafael Lenko, and it explores Kylo Ren's
00:44:39
obsession with Vader through deepening Vader's own legacy
00:44:42
within the Skywalker bloodline. This marks the first canonical
00:44:46
confrontation between Darth Vader and Kylo Ren in any
00:44:48
medium. The encounter is described as a
00:44:51
Force vision battle, allowing the two errors to collide
00:44:54
without breaking continuity. Written by Greg Pack and art by
00:44:58
Rafael Lenko Continuing their long running Vader storyline,
00:45:02
Star Wars Darth Vader #58 hit shelves June of 26, so it's
00:45:07
going to be coming right around the corner here.
00:45:10
Will this be a major battle or will Vader just be annoyed by
00:45:15
his emo grandson? So it's like it's basically is
00:45:19
is is 2 emo assholes are two emo assholes just going to like emo
00:45:24
it out and in the in the end, are they just going to be
00:45:28
sitting there listening to, you know.
00:45:32
The. Cure fucking Black Parade.
00:45:37
They're definitely going to be listening to Black Parade.
00:45:39
If they're listening to any song at all.
00:45:41
It's it's it's Black Parade. Welcome to Black Black Parade.
00:45:44
I think they're just going to be listening to My Chemical Romance
00:45:46
in general. Probably.
00:45:49
Probably sharing eyeliner with each other.
00:45:52
Absolutely. What do you use?
00:45:54
Oh, this is what I use. They're absolutely just What
00:45:56
eyeliner do you wear under? Your mask.
00:45:58
I sweat a lot under my mask. Oh, I do too.
00:46:04
OK, it sounds interesting. But honestly, I'll I'll be
00:46:07
honest right now, like, I think it's cool that you're going to
00:46:09
see this battle. It does feel like a reach, like
00:46:13
it's just going to be like a force vision battle.
00:46:18
Like it's like him dreaming, you know?
00:46:21
It's two different eras. I think it's going to be more
00:46:23
you think of like Ahsoka and and and the Time beyond time.
00:46:28
Like the World between worlds type of things.
00:46:30
I don't, I think, I don't think it'll be that.
00:46:33
Yeah, I mean that that would be the smartest way to do it is
00:46:36
because this would be along the same level of Obi Wan and Qui
00:46:42
Gon Jin communing after Qui Gon dies.
00:46:45
You know, this would be along the lines of, again, Ahsoka
00:46:49
going into the war beyond the the war beyond world, the war
00:46:53
between worlds and communing with Anakin.
00:46:55
Like this is that same level where what they're saying is Ben
00:47:02
got to a point where he became so strong in the Force that he
00:47:07
could commune with his grandfather.
00:47:09
And that also explains the obsession with his grandfather
00:47:14
that he has, because it could also be something, if it's a
00:47:17
good storyline, it could also be something in the line of he
00:47:21
accidentally stumbles into the world beyond worlds and communes
00:47:26
with his grandfather. And now it's an obsession to try
00:47:29
and find that again. He doesn't know what he did, but
00:47:33
he wants to have that experience with his grandfather again.
00:47:36
Yeah, and he is living in his grandpa's house on Mustafar, so
00:47:42
it could. I bet that's how it is.
00:47:44
I bet it's some kind of like holocron thing that happens.
00:47:49
With like a Sith holocron. Yeah, Sith holocron like on on
00:47:52
Mustafar. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:47:54
Again, like, you know, I, I feel like what's going to end up
00:47:56
happening if they if they do this right, then again, it
00:48:00
becomes something where he develops an obsession because he
00:48:05
did something one time and doesn't know how to do it again.
00:48:08
Yeah. Cool.
00:48:10
All right. Thanks a lot, Star Wars.
00:48:12
Star Wars. So that is it for all of our
