Episode Summary
This week the NERDs squanch hard and shpongle even harder! From debating the absurd brilliance of LEGO Star Wars (yes, Jaxxson the space bunny is canon now, fight us) to recapping Emmy wins, anime mall takeovers, and whether Alan Ritchson should trade in Batman for Hawkman’s wings —we leave no geeky stone unturned. Oh, and don’t worry, we still made plenty of jokes about dipping your shpongle in pickle brine . Chef’s kiss.

00:03:41
Murfing me right now. OK, sorry.
00:03:45

Not a thing. I'm not trying to make smurfing
00:03:51

00:03:53

SEO, you got us. You got to squash the spongle.
00:04:02
You got to squash the spongle. Well, ladies and gentlemen,
00:04:05
let's jump right into this. This week on deck, we've got
00:04:09
starting rumors. I am one with the force, and the
00:04:13
force is green. Sounds about right.
00:04:15
The download it's. Official box office anime lays.
00:04:20
And of course, rounding out the end of the show, it is the geek
00:04:23
and update. Anna Medford and Crocker Khan
00:04:26

00:04:29
It's going to be a great time. But ladies and gentlemen, before
00:04:31
we get into all of that, of course, but first let me get a
00:04:34

They're coming out with new flavors all the time.
00:05:15
Unfortunately Graveyard they are not out with a pickle flavor
00:05:18
yet, but hey, keep asking, they might do.
00:05:20
It I mean pickle balls really popular.
00:05:22
I wouldn't, I wouldn't put it past.
00:05:24
I wouldn't either. Pickle is stupid stupid popular
00:05:28
right now as a flavor. Pickles.
00:05:30
I love Pickles. You know it really.
00:05:31
It's just the brine. That's really what the flavor
00:05:33
is. It's a brine.
00:05:34
It's not the actual. Pickle.
00:05:35
Nothing like a good brine for your spongle chef's kiss.
00:05:41
You just dip the spongal in the brine.
00:05:44
It's. Amazing.
00:05:46
Got to keep your spongal moist, you know what I mean?
00:05:48
Yeah, got to keep the spongal. You know what else you've got to
00:05:51
do? You got to know that distance
00:05:53
starting is part of the Geek Greek Network.
00:05:55
That's right. That's right, everybody.
00:05:57
Whether you're deep into the lore or just covering your
00:06:00
latest binge, Geek Greek is the network that speaks your
00:06:03
language. Whether you're building Lego
00:06:05
like though, debating casting choices like all of us, or still
00:06:08
crying over that finale, OK, it was me.
00:06:11
I cried. We've got you covered.
00:06:14
Geek freak Network, Gandem Immunity, Favorite people.
00:06:17
Find out more at gfi.com. Please place that into the chat
00:06:21
for me lad. Already made?
00:06:23
Make sure you check out a challenge accepted on the Geek
00:06:26
Freaks network. That's right, because this
00:06:28
week's episode Jen was featured. Oh my God.
00:06:32
And she goes full, she goes full phrasee mode.
00:06:35
She she, she's dropping all of the, all of the Gen. theories
00:06:40
and everything, all the fray theories and it's great.
00:06:42
I don't think that Frank was really prepared for the
00:06:46
conversation, and I don't think he realized I was gonna have
00:06:49
questions. Like I was like, I have
00:06:50
questions for you. But he enjoyed that though,
00:06:52
yeah. He, he ended up messaging us
00:06:54
later and was talking about how how much he enjoyed that, that
00:06:56
episode because he wasn't expecting it.
00:06:58
So it's, it's good, you know, it's, it's, it's good to
00:07:01
challenge him on his own show because that's kind of what it
00:07:05
is. I think that they don't, he
00:07:07
doesn't probably usually have a lot of people challenging him
00:07:09
except for maybe Thomas. So I mean, like that's it's
00:07:11
Thomas. It's it's awesome.
00:07:13
That's what I meant. I had I had a blast.
00:07:15
It is an extra long episode because it's me, right?
00:07:19
Who knew? But yeah, notice we actually
00:07:20
talked about some really good stuff and I really like I really
00:07:24
enjoy talking to him, especially about Peacemaker because, you
00:07:27
know, I'm like, I'm a I'm a Jenny come lately on Peacemaker.
00:07:30
And still, I'm on the fence about character himself.
00:07:34
But I really like the show. Yeah.
00:07:35
So I, you know, I really, I like that I got to talk to somebody.
00:07:39
I'd love talking, guys, don't get me wrong.
00:07:40
But sometimes it's nice to talk to other people about that.
00:07:43
I dig it. I dig it.
00:07:44
Well, ladies and gentlemen, let's let's move in.
00:07:47
We're gonna, we're gonna go into the into the sad stuff first
00:07:50
before we get into the rumors. Ladies and gentlemen, it is time
00:07:53
for In Memoriam. As of this morning, Robert
00:07:56
Redford passed away. The Iconic Robert Redford Robert
00:08:00
Redford was an iconic actor, director, and activist whose
00:08:02
career to find generations of cinema beloved for classics like
00:08:06
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sting, and The Way We
00:08:08
Are. He later won an Academy Award
00:08:10
for directing Ordinary People and the Forever and Forever
00:08:13
changed film culture by founding the Sundance Institute and
00:08:16
Sundance Film Festival, empowering independent
00:08:18
storyteller tellers worldwide. Beyond the screen, he was a
00:08:21
passionate advocate for Environmental Conservation and
00:08:24
social justice, leaving behind a legacy of artistry, integrity,
00:08:27
and vision that will continue to inspire for decades to come.
00:08:30
That's. So sad.
00:08:31
I he I have loved him since I was a little bitty.
00:08:35
And so, I mean, he was an immortal as well.
00:08:37
He just So what that's what I mean by he no, I, I really, I
00:08:42
loved all of his stuff. I think I've seen just about
00:08:44
everything he's done. Yeah, I like a big thing for me,
00:08:47
for Robert Redford is like, yeah, there was a lot of the
00:08:49
stuff that he did in, you know, 60s and the 70s.
00:08:52
But then my one of my favorite movies ever is a Robert Redford
00:08:56
movie. And it's The Last Castle, which
00:08:58
is a more like, you know, that was more 90s really good movie,
00:09:02
you know, And then of course, he was in Captain America Civil War
00:09:07
and, you know, he played a, he played a pretty big role in
00:09:09
that. So I mean, like Robert Redford
00:09:10
has had cultural impact, right? He was in.
00:09:16
Winter Soldier, yeah. He had cultural impact through
00:09:18
every genre and everything that was out there.
00:09:21
So I mean, you know, it's, it's sad to know that Robert Redford
00:09:25
is gone, but he did live a pretty full life, so.
00:09:27
It's sad that we're seeing these icons, you know, pass away, but
00:09:31
I mean, he lived such a long, glorious life and what an
00:09:35
amazing career. So yeah, can't take anything
00:09:38
away from. Him and it's really interesting
00:09:40
that he passed before somebody he played has it like Bob
00:09:43
Woodward deal with us that he played Bob Woodward and and what
00:09:47
was it Watergate. In the Watergate, yeah.
00:09:49
But no. What was it called?
00:09:50
All All the president's men. I think so.
00:09:53
The Movie. Was called.
00:09:54
Now why can I never? That's so weird.
00:09:56
It's like such a He won like an. Yes, it is.
00:09:58
All the president's men. Is it all the president's men?
00:10:00
OK. But yeah, like he played Bob
00:10:02
Woodward in that and but Bob Woodward still with us he's.
00:10:05
Still kicking, still writing expose on presidents.
00:10:08
Yeah, I and I, I, I think that that's weird cuz you think of
00:10:12
when when actors play people that those people have either
00:10:15
already passed or are getting, you know what I mean?
00:10:17
Like, yeah, usually you don't play someone who's still a
00:10:21
contemporary. And then to have a rigid like
00:10:24
the person that you played outlive you.
00:10:26
Yeah, to me, that it, it's just a little surreal to me.
00:10:29
Robert Redford's an amazing person in his own right.
00:10:32
Beyond acting, beyond directing the Sundance Film Festival, you
00:10:36
know, he created that. Nobody thought it was gonna
00:10:38
work, made it work. But.
00:10:39
Just every prestige at this point.
00:10:41
I just feel like, yeah, his his level of icon.
00:10:44
I don't think we'll see it again.
00:10:46
You know, when Paul Newman passed, I felt like it was like
00:10:49
a, you know, changing of the guard.
00:10:50
I feel like Robert Redford passing is also a new guard.
00:10:53
We have icons now, but they're not as he was in Rhinestone.
00:10:56
Cowboy too, wasn't he? I think so, but it's sad but he
00:11:01
will be missed. Absolutely.
00:11:03
Well, so let's let's go ahead and move on.
00:11:05
Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time to start some rumors, which
00:11:09
means we're about to get banned in Belarus again.
00:11:11
Let's do this ladies and gentlemen, getting banned in
00:11:14
Belarus. Band to Belarus here.
00:11:25
Band, band. Band to Belarus.
00:11:27
Band. Band to Belarus.
00:11:28
Band Band to Belarus. Well, let's get started here,
00:11:34
ladies and gentlemen. The Smiths are undercover so
00:11:37
deep, even Prime Video can't find them.
00:11:39
It's amazing. Riding top notch.
00:11:40
All right. The second season of Mr. and
00:11:42
Mrs. Smith is reportedly on ice with casting issues stalling
00:11:46
production. Mark Edelstein.
00:11:48
That's Edelstein. Yeah.
00:11:49
And Sophie Thatcher were set to take over as the new John and
00:11:52
Jane Smith, but deals haven't close and Francesca Sloan just
00:11:57
jumped ship to HBO. Sorry, wrong thing.
00:12:04
Tacos on the table? Are we putting a Taco on the
00:12:07
table for Mr. and Mrs. Smith Season 2 actually happening, or
00:12:10
is this mission already compromised?
00:12:12
So my tacos are off the table on this because, you know, they had
00:12:17
the movie like what, 15 years ago?
00:12:19
Then they had this kind of oddly spin off type thing.
00:12:23
But I watch, I don't know if you guys watch this.
00:12:25
This. I watched it.
00:12:26
I was a little it was a little slow for me.
00:12:28
It didn't give me everything I wanted, you know, out of like a
00:12:31
a spy type show. Yeah.
00:12:33
So I don't know if they're gonna if if they're having trouble
00:12:35
casting it, I don't know if they're gonna end up doing it.
00:12:37
What do you guys think? Well, I mean, I didn't watch it,
00:12:40
though. I mean, my tacos are on the
00:12:42
table because I I I don't know any better.
00:12:44
I, I Yeah. Yeah, my, my tacos are whatever
00:12:50
mission compromised is in the case of the tacos here, because
00:12:53
what's happening with this or I guess my tacos are on the table
00:12:56
that that it's being delayed and there's indefinite, you know,
00:12:59
delays on this. It didn't have amazing
00:13:02
reception. You know, like a lot of people
00:13:04
who watched it said that it was really good.
00:13:07
Most people who watched enjoyed it, but just the general
00:13:10
reception for the show wasn't super high.
00:13:12
So I think that that is also something that's probably kind
00:13:17
of contributing to where where the the status on this is
00:13:21
because if it were something that Amazon was prioritizing,
00:13:24
they would find every reason, every excuse to make sure that
00:13:27
this thing goes off without a hitch.
00:13:29
And it doesn't seem like they're doing this so.
00:13:30
Yeah, OK. Yeah, I I didn't realize like I
00:13:34
was so not in the scope of this or so and I didn't realize that
00:13:38
they were casting new actors for the second.
00:13:40
But now I'm like, you know what kind of cool.
00:13:42
I wonder what happened. So now I kind of want to see it,
00:13:44
but now I'm like, well, but do I want to really spend the time
00:13:47
watching it if it's not really going to get a second season and
00:13:49
that's not going to pay off? Very conflicted.
00:13:51
But my tacos are not on the table.
00:13:53
No, they are on the table, but they're conflicted all.
00:13:57
Right, Zora is back, and she's got Parker Jennings in her
00:14:02
sights. Rumors are so whirling that
00:14:05
Scarlett Johansson will reprise her role as Zora Bennett in a
00:14:08
sequel to Jurassic World Rebirth.
00:14:11
OK, with Gareth Edwards possibly returning to direct and Mahersha
00:14:15
Ali and Jonathan Bailey expected back, Universal may be building
00:14:20
a new dynosti. A dynosti.
00:14:25
Anyway, Tacos on the table. Are we tossing tacos for
00:14:29
Scarlett Johansson suiting up again in a Jurassic World
00:14:32
Rebirth sequel? Or is this just fossilized fan
00:14:36
fiction? I love it, but I'm punch.
00:14:42
My talk is really table for this.
00:14:44
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
00:14:44
Because I love this for Scar Joe.
00:14:46
I do. I love this.
00:14:47
I want her to succeed in this because I feel like that we need
00:14:51
more women who are, they're the ones that are, you know, kicking
00:14:54
names and taking asses and I love it.
00:14:56
Yeah, I, I'm all for this as well.
00:14:59
The movie was was was really fun for, you know, the you have all
00:15:04
the the people who like we're talking smack about it, but in
00:15:07
the end, the movie was a really fun movie.
00:15:08
So I mean, I'm interested in seeing where they go with this
00:15:11
and kind of like, you know, if they can, especially with these
00:15:14
giant mutant like that now they're starting to get into
00:15:16
Kaiju territory with these movies, so.
00:15:19
And that's what we've always wanted, really.
00:15:21
We just wanted the dinosaurs to be, yeah.
00:15:23
I agree. I'm just, I mean, it's a recipe
00:15:25
for success. It's not like it lost money, you
00:15:28
know, Jurassic Park, huge franchise.
00:15:30
Scarjo Mahershali, come on, it's, it makes itself.
00:15:33
Widow and blade. I mean, when he becomes Blade, I
00:15:36
mean, just to throw this out there because I was just looking
00:15:39
at this the other day, worldwide, it made $864 million.
00:15:45
Whoa. Which is not bad.
00:15:47
Yeah. It makes it makes for the fourth
00:15:49
highest grossing movie of the of the year.
00:15:51
Wow. So I mean, you know, that's
00:15:53
behind that's. Good.
00:15:54
I mean, that's good. Yeah, and that's behind
00:15:56
Minecraft, Lilo and Stitch and Nezatu, which, you know, friend
00:15:59
of the show Griffin Puatu is the main character in that movie.
00:16:05
Interesting. You know what else is
00:16:06
interesting? From meme to Messiah, Roku's
00:16:09
glow up is officially hand a newly leaked synopsis for The
00:16:13
Mandalorian, and Grogu calls the little green icon the Forces Air
00:16:17
in the gallery, suggesting a major power shift in Star Wars
00:16:21
lore. Pedro Pascal, Sigourney Weaver
00:16:23
and Jeremy Allen White Star in the May 2026 release.
00:16:27
Tacos on the table? Are we laying tacos down for
00:16:30
Grogu being the forces air or is this just Disney's latest
00:16:34
prophecy to sell Blush? Before we jump into anything
00:16:37
else, Jensen synopsis I I I so it's kind of hard to call on
00:16:45
this because Disney is always going to try and find a way to
00:16:48
to make money off of all of this, no matter what.
00:16:50
The story does not come first when it comes to Disney.
00:16:53
It's what can we sell from this? And and I mean, you know, the
00:16:57
proof in the pudding is the fact that, you know, Disney was kind
00:17:00
of not on board with them hiding Grogu and not having like merch
00:17:04
for it like right off the bat, but they just didn't want leaks.
00:17:06
So I mean like, you know, now it's like giant merch everything
00:17:10
as far as him being the I. Mean I'll buy it all.
00:17:13
Yeah, as far as him being the forces heir, it's kind of hard
00:17:17
to say that when given where the direction of the series has gone
00:17:23
and supposedly where he is either dead or missing at this
00:17:26
point. Yeah.
00:17:27
So how I I don't really see him being the forces heir unless
00:17:31
they have an explanation for where he is by the end of this?
00:17:34
Movie. I have a theory, but I'm gonna
00:17:37
let James go first. I was just gonna say that the
00:17:41
the wording is interesting. The forces air, like what was
00:17:46
Anakin was they never called him the forces air.
00:17:49
They called him what the Chosen. Chosen one, right?
00:17:51
Huh. So she's supposed to bring
00:17:53
balance to the force? Yeah, but apparently Grogu gets
00:17:57
to inherit the force. Yeah, exactly.
00:17:59
All right. I I have.
00:18:02
OK, so I said I had a theory. Yeah.
00:18:03
Here's my theory. Go crazy.
00:18:06
So we've got the rumblings of Abaloth, right?
00:18:10
The mother. And we've got the daughter and
00:18:13
the son and the father. What if Roku is the force's heir
00:18:18
and he's the one that has to keep the daughter and the son in
00:18:22
in line and he takes over for the father?
00:18:25
That gets that gets kind of muddy, though, because, I mean,
00:18:28
he chose to be a Mandalorian. So it's kind of like how, Yeah.
00:18:31
But obviously the force has other plans.
00:18:33
That's. What I'm saying, how do they go
00:18:35
about telling that story? You know, I mean, again, we
00:18:37
won't know until we get the story itself.
00:18:39
But it's like, I like the I like the theory.
00:18:42
I just I want to see him go, go from point A to point B to get
00:18:45
to that point where it's like, you know, is there is there
00:18:48
something that happens that makes him not want to be a
00:18:51
Mandalorian? And Din is just like you got to
00:18:54
do what is best for you, and he goes to the side of the Force.
00:18:57
I mean, absolutely, I could. I could see that.
00:19:00
But I do think that maybe his Mandalorian, like what he's
00:19:04
learning from the Mandalorians, is going to help him control the
00:19:06
the Son and that he doesn't want to hurt anyone.
00:19:10
I mean, if you really watch, he doesn't like using his force
00:19:13
powers aggressively. He likes using them defensively.
00:19:18
And we've seen that over the last three seasons.
00:19:20
Or hungrily. Yeah, we're hungry.
00:19:22
Well, to him, you know, he's still young.
00:19:24
He's just like, I want that. And so he, you know, that kind
00:19:27
of stuff. That's an ID thing.
00:19:28
But like he when he want, like when he's supposed to use his
00:19:31
powers or when they want him to use his powers, it's more
00:19:33
defensive. It's more to save someone than
00:19:36
it is to hurt someone. And I think that that tells us
00:19:41
like that He also has that other side.
00:19:43
He's a very balanced character. He's he's got that warrior
00:19:47
mentality from the Mandalorians, but he really is pacifist.
00:19:51
So he's got both sides there. I just, I feel like maybe that's
00:19:55
it. I think that might be what
00:19:57
they're going for now. I mean, granted, it is very, it
00:20:00
is crazy. It is a phrasey theory, but I,
00:20:03
you know, I kind of like it the more I'm talking about it.
00:20:05
All right, let's move. And last, James, you said tacos.
00:20:08
I say tacos. You said no tacos, Phil.
00:20:13
I, I don't know, I, I don't know where I would put tacos on this.
00:20:16
I guess like they're halfway just because again, it, it could
00:20:18
be just Disney trying to capitalize on it.
00:20:20
But I mean, I see where the story can go when it comes to
00:20:24
Filoni and his writing. So yeah, I'll put my tacos on
00:20:27
the table. Yeah, thank you.
00:20:28
Conflicted. You have conflicted tacos.
00:20:30
I had conflicted tacos. You know it happened.
00:20:32
Yeah, like I said, I'm gonna put my tacos solidly on the table
00:20:35
just because I I try Justin Filoni's writing, though.
00:20:38
All right, well, let's move on. Cue the bug spray joke, because
00:20:41
there's one here somewhere. Hold on, Marie.
00:20:44
The one. Yeah.
00:20:44
What? I said.
00:20:46
No. OK, hold on, Marie.
00:20:47
The one Yeah sidestepped questions about Jaime Reyes
00:20:50
appearing in Peacemaker Season 2, saying he's just a fan but
00:20:53
loves the idea. James Gunn tease the major DCU
00:20:56
cameo and fans are betting on a bug in the bunker.
00:21:00
Tacos on the table. Are we Taco committed to Jaime
00:21:03
Reyes showing up in Peacemaker Season 2?
00:21:06
Or is Holo Mari Duena just playing the long con?
00:21:10
I want to get on the table. I go ahead.
00:21:11
What? Go ahead.
00:21:12
Go go. No, you can.
00:21:13
Go no, yours. You're talkers, you go.
00:21:15
I was just going to say I have, I have.
00:21:17
No, I have all the tacos on the table when it comes to a cameo,
00:21:21
because it's not like we've got a ton of characters in the new
00:21:24
DCU. So I think James Gunn's going to
00:21:26
pull all the brakes out and be like, Peacemaker is going to
00:21:29
matter. Like if you want to watch the
00:21:31
DCU, you want to be involved. You want to follow Superman and
00:21:34
The Batman and whatever else, you have to watch Peacemaker.
00:21:37
He's going to make it like an integral part of the DCU.
00:21:40
Yeah, I like that. OK, Frey go.
00:21:42
Sorry, cut you. Off OK, so I love this.
00:21:44
I really want this to happen. I don't think he's the big
00:21:47
cameo. I think he's going to be in it.
00:21:49
I don't think he's the big cameo.
00:21:50
I think it's going to be something unexpected, something
00:21:53
like I liked the idea that we were talking about last week
00:21:56
with the creature commandos, the bride and oh, wait.
00:21:59
Or was that on Challenge accepted?
00:22:01
That may have been unchallenged. No, that was James.
00:22:03
OK, there you go. Either way, go listen to
00:22:05
Challenge accepted ladies. Gentlemen, so but like the bride
00:22:10
and Frankenstein and I loved all that.
00:22:13
I think that's really interesting.
00:22:14
I'd love to see stuff like that. He has so many different ways to
00:22:18
go. So it's like it's so hard to
00:22:19
just be like, is this the one? Is that the one?
00:22:22
Is it Superman? Are we going to get Superman?
00:22:24
I just don't know if we will or not, but I'd love to see him.
00:22:28
I would love I would love to see their chemistry because I think
00:22:32
it would be hilarious. I mean, he was secondly,
00:22:35
definitely. Uncle's got to be in it.
00:22:38
They can call Peacemaker a fascist.
00:22:40
Oh my God, yes. If if George Lopez shows up and
00:22:44
just calls him a fascist, great. Young, young Phil, what do you
00:22:48
think about? This, I don't know, it could be
00:22:51
that he is, you know, he really isn't in it because he seems
00:22:56
everybody's saying like, oh, he's being coy.
00:22:58
Well, no, he kind of actually seems like he's just genuinely a
00:23:01
kid that's just kind of nervous. And it's like, I know James Gunn
00:23:04
said that I'm in this universe, you know, at the very beginning,
00:23:08
before the movie anything was ever filmed, They said he said
00:23:10
he was pulling over Blue Beetle as it as it was.
00:23:13
Yeah. But he's like, I mean, I haven't
00:23:16
showed up in anything yet. And, you know, yeah, everybody
00:23:18
saying I'm gonna be the cameo in this.
00:23:20
I don't think I am. I would love to see Ted Cord
00:23:24
because Ted Cord was confirmed at the end of Blue Beetle and we
00:23:27
don't know where he went and it's like OK he could be in the
00:23:30
cuck easily. Yeah, I I really think that
00:23:32
would be a great way to bring him back and to also bring Jaime
00:23:37
into it. So we might get a double blue
00:23:39
beetle. Yeah, a bluer beetle.
00:23:41
A bluer 2. Shades of Blue Beetle.
00:23:43
I don't know, something like. I like that. 2 shades of blue
00:23:45
Beetle. There we go.
00:23:46
There it is. I mean, hey, we're we're talking
00:23:49
about these two different dimensions.
00:23:51
What is the Earth X and our version of Earth?
00:23:54
And we're talking about, you know, white supremists and where
00:23:57
are all the brown people and Earth X?
00:23:59
Maybe he's part of the Sons of Liberty, Who knows?
00:24:03
And maybe that's, yeah, we get a little duality of like, oh, we
00:24:06
get to see Jaime Reyes in their world, and we get to see Jaime
00:24:09
Reyes in our world by the end of the series.
00:24:11
So. OK.
00:24:12
I do think that I just think it's a really good way to
00:24:16
explain where Ted Gord went because they said, well, he just
00:24:18
disappeared one thing. And so he may have not been not
00:24:22
found his his way back. Yeah.
00:24:23
And so he keeps jumping into different worlds trying to find
00:24:27
the right one or. So kind of a combination of both
00:24:30
of your guys's theory is Ted Kord got lost.
00:24:33
He's in this, this YT supremacist world that, that you
00:24:37
know, that, that, that world X or whatever.
00:24:40
And he is the leader of, of the Sons of Liberty.
00:24:44
Because the whole thing is like, OK, well, I'm going to be here
00:24:46
and I got to deal with all these, you know, all these Jack
00:24:49
jackasses, all these jackalopes. Then I'm at least gonna be a
00:24:53
part of the resistance because I'm fucking Ted Cordon.
00:24:55
I can do that. Yeah, Yeah.
00:24:56
I think that that would be great.
00:24:58
I just, I can't remember who I said would be a good Ted board.
00:25:01
Can't remember no well. So you need somebody a little
00:25:03
bit older. Yeah, I think so.
00:25:06
I I think so. So Husby keeps saying Glenn, the
00:25:10
guy that was on Always Sunny. Glenn Howerton.
00:25:13
Oh yeah, I know you're talking about.
00:25:15
And I keep saying stop, although he also I think said he would be
00:25:19
good as Plastic Man as well. He.
00:25:21
Would be. No, no, it wasn't him.
00:25:22
Yeah, but yeah, so there's like he's he has opinion.
00:25:26
He has opinion. And I keep telling him no, he
00:25:29
cannot be Blue Beetle. I there are certain characters
00:25:33
that that I gate keep a little Ted Court is one of them.
00:25:36
I have a soft spot for that man. I don't know why he's not
00:25:40
exceptional in any way. Maybe I just like his
00:25:42
beatlemobile or whatever the hell he calls it.
00:25:45
His Scarab. It's called Scarab.
00:25:46
Of course I know what it's called.
00:25:48
Yeah, Dennis is played by Glenn Howerton.
00:25:50
Yeah, OK, I was right. Glenn Howard, I think he also
00:25:53
said Glenn Howe, like Glenn Howell, Glenn Powell.
00:25:55
And I was like, not Glenn Howell.
00:25:57
I was like, yeah. From Maverick, no.
00:25:59
From Top Gun Maverick, no. He's too pretty.
00:26:01
Bob. He's Bob.
00:26:04
No, Johnny Knoxville is Plastic Man.
00:26:07
I I do 100% agree with Johnny Knoxville as Plastic Man.
00:26:11
Did he just say that's who it was?
00:26:12
OK, it was Johnny Knoxville, That's what Plastic Man was.
00:26:14
I still say no, Johnny Knoxville does not deserve to be Plastic
00:26:17
Man, although yes, he would fit. He would fit extremely well.
00:26:22
God, Plastic Man is so goofy of a as a character.
00:26:25
I mean, yeah, yeah, that's. Good one.
00:26:26
Who? Who would you cast as Alfred?
00:26:29
Because at this rate even Alfred's gonna get a spin off.
00:26:32
I hope after after Penguins scored 9 wins including Kristen
00:26:37
Miliades for Sofia Falcone, Matt Reeves confirmed that more The
00:26:42
Batman spin offs are in development.
00:26:45
Arkham Asylum and GCPD are back on the table but no green lights
00:26:50
yet. Tacos on the table.
00:26:52
Are we stacking tacos for Matt Reeves building out more of the
00:26:55
Batman spin off or is this bat signal just flickering for
00:26:59
attention? So.
00:27:00
I 100% am feeling like they're going to do this and partially
00:27:06
it's because Warner Brothers is already like, oh, they did so
00:27:09
well with the Penguin. We got to do some more stuff in
00:27:11
this world. I think the smartest play would
00:27:14
be doing GCPD and and kind of going for what they initially
00:27:19
originally were going to do with Gotham.
00:27:21
Gotham became this overdone, you know, Batman without Batman.
00:27:25
And what I wanted out of Gotham was essentially a, you know, a
00:27:29
season long like police show that basically highlighted the
00:27:33
corruption that GCPD had to have in order for someone like like
00:27:38
James, James Gordon to come in and want to reform everything.
00:27:45
But also why a Batman was needed in Gotham because Gotham,
00:27:49
because GCPD was so corrupt that there was no that they are so
00:27:53
beyond saving that you have to have a vigilante come and do
00:27:57
their job for them. That's the GCPD show I want is I
00:28:01
want to see all of that dirty corruption.
00:28:03
I want to see a dirty cop show, you know, like a serious dirty
00:28:06
cop show where James Gordon or probably other people are, you
00:28:11
know, just kind of like trying to pull everything.
00:28:14
She's sorry, Jen, for the for the phrase I'm about to use, but
00:28:17
pull them back from the trying to pull them back from the fray.
00:28:20
I. Dare you?
00:28:21
I'm so offended. Trying to pull GCPD back from
00:28:25
the fray, but unable to do it, you know what I mean?
00:28:27
And and now you have this whole thing where by the end of the
00:28:30
first season you get a cameo from Batman because now, OK, you
00:28:33
have that. And season 2 can easily be GCPD
00:28:37
fighting the vigilante, you know, because they're anti
00:28:39
vigilante. And you know, just kind of James
00:28:42
Gordon not necessarily being the commissioner, but working his
00:28:46
way up because he is a Boy Scout, you know what I mean?
00:28:48
Kind of copy a lot of the things that they did in Batman Year One
00:28:52
in the comic where you deal a lot with this corruption and Jim
00:28:55
Gordon trying to fight his way through that and Batman just
00:28:58
kind of appearing through all this.
00:28:59
And then they work together to reform the law enforcement in
00:29:03
Gotham, you know? Did you see?
00:29:04
Him on Fox? Which one did you watch?
00:29:06
Gotham. That's what I was talking about.
00:29:07
Gotham was not that. Gotham became, you know, a
00:29:11
character of the week and Batman without Batman.
00:29:14
And that's not what I wanted. I didn't.
00:29:16
That's not what I wanted out of out of that show.
00:29:18
It became too overly fantastic. And in this world that Matt
00:29:21
Reeves has put together, you can easily do a very good cop like,
00:29:24
like corrupt cop show, you know? Can I?
00:29:27
Yeah, Go ahead. OK, my tacos aren't on the table
00:29:30
for this. Really.
00:29:31
Yeah, really. Because look, here's this here.
00:29:33
Look there Elseworlds money could be spent elsewhere on non
00:29:38
Batman projects there. We need to move past the bat.
00:29:41
We need to move past the bat. We have spent.
00:29:43
Warner Brothers as a company has spent more time on Batman than
00:29:48
any other IP that they have ever had more time on Batman.
00:29:52
There are a lot of other characters in the DC Universe
00:29:56
and I'm talking comic book universe that you could have
00:29:59
shows about that would be amazing instead of rehashing
00:30:04
something that that we had at one time.
00:30:07
I mean, there's been just been so much Batman.
00:30:09
I'm just like, I don't I GCPD if they do it right.
00:30:12
Yeah, I would love that. Arkham Asylum, absolutely, I
00:30:15
would love that. But I you know, I don't want a
00:30:18
Joker series. I don't want we already have a
00:30:21
Harley animated series and I love that.
00:30:24
But it's just, I just don't think we need more Batman stuff.
00:30:27
But, but think about more, more so David Zasloff.
00:30:30
Do you really think after they won nine Emmys for a Batman show
00:30:34
that they are going to pull away from Batman with David Zasloff
00:30:37
the way that he is? Oh, no, yeah, absolutely not.
00:30:40
I don't think they're gonna do that.
00:30:41
I just don't think it's needed. It absolutely is not needed.
00:30:45
You know, do a fucking Wanderer Girl show or But they're doing
00:30:49
the Amazon, so it's not like they're not doing something
00:30:51
already. So it's just I they didn't spend
00:30:54
the time on Doom Patrol that they could have spent and made
00:30:58
it more successful than it already was because it was a
00:31:01
good show, good stories. It was off filter.
00:31:04
It would have fit really well in with James Gunn's universe, I
00:31:08
think, but they just didn't spend time on it.
00:31:10
But those are characters that have stories to tell as well.
00:31:13
So I'm just saying like, I just don't think it needs to be the
00:31:15
Batman. It could be an elseworlds about
00:31:18
anything. There's so many elseworld
00:31:19
stories out there that they could that they could, you know,
00:31:22
take inspiration from. So I just I feel like it's just
00:31:25
a mistake. If you put too much Batman out
00:31:27
there, that's what kills any universe is too much Batman.
00:31:31
What they did do good in this though is with the Penguin they
00:31:35
Batman. I mean there's a mention of
00:31:37
Batman but they don't really show Batman.
00:31:39
It is primarily The Sopranos that happens to have Batman
00:31:43
characters in. It no, absolutely I loved the
00:31:45
Penguin. I'm so glad it won all the
00:31:47
enemies that it won and we will talk about that later in the
00:31:49
show, but I I just don't think that they need to just keep
00:31:53
spending money on the Batman. I think they could spend it
00:31:56
elsewhere, and I think they should.
00:31:57
So my tacos are not on the table for this.
00:32:00
You know, if we get an Arkham Asylum and a GCPDI will watch
00:32:03
it, I'm gonna watch Lanterns. I'm gonna watch anything that
00:32:06
the DCU puts out because I love DC, hence my shirt.
00:32:09
But I'm just saying that I don't think that we need to spend any
00:32:14
more Elseworlds dollars on The Batman.
00:32:17
What if, and this is just me spitballing but like what if?
00:32:19
And I know we're spending too much time on this, but what we?
00:32:22
Really are. Rather than Batman showing up in
00:32:26
any of these shows, what if we get Red Hood rather than a
00:32:29
Batman? What if we get a Nightwing
00:32:32
rather than a Bat? See, I knew you'd bring
00:32:34
Nightwing into this because, you know, I love Nightwing and but
00:32:37
that's different because we've not really never had a night.
00:32:40
We did in the Titans and I really liked him in the Titans.
00:32:43
Brandon Point's. Actor who played in Yeah, I
00:32:46
thought, I thought it was great. I and I wouldn't be opposed to
00:32:49
that. I don't think that's Batman
00:32:51
related because Nightwing has made his own, like carved out
00:32:54
his own piece of the DC universe.
00:32:57
Yeah, he's got a lot stuff that you know, he's a Titan, he's
00:33:01
helped Superman, he's helped like galactic threats, like
00:33:05
he's. He's solved crisis that.
00:33:07
He's a better Batman than Batman is, to be honest.
00:33:10
He really is. Yeah, better Batman than Batman
00:33:12
is. He he is a successful parenting
00:33:16
of a broken parent as what he is he is he is a emotionally well,
00:33:21
he's got some issues with committing to a relationship,
00:33:24
but that's a whole nother it that that would I will you know
00:33:27
what I'm just gonna stop there. It's gonna stop there.
00:33:29
I would be on board with a Nightwing, but again, I don't
00:33:31
feel that that's that man. I'm just saying like we don't
00:33:33
need a Poison Ivy show. We don't need a which I mean,
00:33:37
she's in Harley, but I'm just saying we don't need a Doctor
00:33:40
Freeze show, Mr. Freeze show. I don't know.
00:33:41
I said Doctor Reese. Ian, like I wouldn't mind a hue
00:33:45
was strange because he hasn't really ever been explored.
00:33:48
It's like the ones that haven't been explored I'm OK with.
00:33:51
Hugo Strange doesn't necessarily mean Batman, though, because
00:33:53
that I mean, Arkham can lead into a lot of other characters.
00:33:57
Doesn't necessarily, yeah, I mean, it's Batman.
00:33:59
Yeah. Because I mean, like, you know,
00:34:00
there are more characters that are from Gotham than just
00:34:03
Batman. And you can you can bring easily
00:34:05
bring a lot of those those heroes in, though.
00:34:07
Yeah. We.
00:34:08
No, absolutely. We definitely have too much time
00:34:11
on this. So let's let's move in.
00:34:12
Guys. It is time to get into the main
00:34:15
part of the news. It's time for the down.
00:34:25
Rumors decoded, tacos deployed, and Gotham expanded.
00:34:29
Now let's boot up the mainframe. Download starts now.
00:34:32
I wrote that. Nice, that was a good
00:34:34
transition. That was actually really good.
00:34:36
Sorry, I I'm not. I'm not.
00:34:40
Are you sorry? I know I am because I'm not used
00:34:42
to the new transitions that are that are on here.
00:34:44
I got to remember that they're there.
00:34:45
Well, this is casting cash. This week we have Voldemort
00:34:50
denials, Navy Seal's heroics. K Pop, scream Queens, take it
00:34:53
away. Fray, it is time for you.
00:34:56
He who must not be named is not named.
00:34:59
Gillian Gillian Murphy officially shut down rumors that
00:35:02
he'll play Lord Voldemort in HBO's upcoming Harry Potter
00:35:06
reboot on the Happy Sad Confused podcast.
00:35:08
Murphy said I don't know anything about that and added
00:35:11
that thought I that was horrible and adding that following Ralph
00:35:14
finds is really hard. The man is an absolute acting
00:35:18
legend. That second one was a little bit
00:35:20
better, but still I would give myself A55 out of 10.
00:35:23
Uh, yeah. So he's not going to be
00:35:26
Voldemort. Yeah, it's really a non casting.
00:35:30
Yeah, I can. I can.
00:35:31
I can see him turning that down again.
00:35:34
I I feel like we need more Killian Murphy no matter what.
00:35:36
And I still say he needs to be Doctor Doom.
00:35:38
So. He looks old in this photo.
00:35:41
He kind of does look old in this picture.
00:35:43
What happened? I always picture him the young.
00:35:45
But I go ahead. No, go ahead, I.
00:35:48
Was just gonna say it's his. I am sick of this question.
00:35:52
Face is what? It is.
00:35:54
There you go. It's I'm sick of.
00:35:57
Are you Doctor Doom? No, I haven't been cats.
00:35:59
In, in, in, in. Marvel, leave me alone, sick of
00:36:01
this bullshit. Do you want to talk about 28
00:36:03
Days Later? Let's go piggy blinders, no.
00:36:06
Hey, James. James, you were gonna say
00:36:08
something? Go say it.
00:36:09
I'm. Just saying he looks, he looks
00:36:11
old. But I'm OK if they get somebody
00:36:14
else from Voldemort. I don't think he has to be
00:36:16
Voldemort. Yeah.
00:36:17
No, I don't either. I think he's he's a very
00:36:20
charismatic present in anything he does.
00:36:23
And he can play that like really quiet evil, which Ray finds does
00:36:29
as well. Like they both have that in
00:36:32
their wheelhouse. And so I could see, I can see
00:36:34
the comparisons. I would have said he would have
00:36:36
been a better snake, to be honest with you.
00:36:38
Yeah, but you know, they didn't ask me.
00:36:39
So. But I do have a question.
00:36:41
So my question is, my question is this.
00:36:43
Do you think that Murphy is an IP foe after Batman?
00:36:48
Because he really hasn't done a lot of like main IP stuff since
00:36:52
the Batman Begins trilogy. I don't know, because I mean, he
00:36:56
focuses on just good roles in general, you know?
00:36:59
So I mean, I he, it may just be that he hasn't gotten something
00:37:02
that he feels is up to what he wants to do.
00:37:05
It could also be that given that they're doing this as a series,
00:37:08
he doesn't want to commit to something that long.
00:37:11
True, True. True.
00:37:12
True, true. You know, I just didn't know.
00:37:14
I was like, you know, he really hasn't been like, you know,
00:37:17
Oppenheimer, not an IP. That's not something you're
00:37:19
going to create a franchise around.
00:37:22
No sequels to that. No.
00:37:24
So, yeah, so I was just, I was curious about that.
00:37:27
I was like, hey, maybe maybe he was like, you know, I did that.
00:37:30
I, you know, check that off the list.
00:37:31
Let's move on. And he might have, you know, we
00:37:33
don't know. Anyway, let's let's go ahead and
00:37:35
let's move to the next one. Love those biceps.
00:37:39
I mean. Biopic Alan Rickson will
00:37:42
headline Amazon MGM Studios untitled Navy SEAL film about
00:37:47
Medal of Honor recipient Mike Thornton.
00:37:50
The movie follows Thornton's heroic rescue mission during the
00:37:53
Vietnam War, where he swam for hours through enemy waters with
00:37:57
two wounded soldiers strapped to him.
00:38:00
Sylvester Stallone is producing. And yes, Richardson's three
00:38:03
picture deal means more military muscle is on the way.
00:38:07
I'm all for it. Anything that he's in, I'm for.
00:38:09
Yeah, I'm into it. I just like that.
00:38:12
Picture. Yeah, his shoulders just make me
00:38:14
jealous. Look at those shoulders.
00:38:15
I'm so in. Wish my shoulders.
00:38:17
Dad TV nowadays like they just came out with a new season of
00:38:21
terminalist on on prime yeah that you know the who's it Chris
00:38:26
Pratt Chris Pratt show I'm like yes, I'm in bring it have.
00:38:29
You started. Have you started watching Task
00:38:31
yet? No, the one with Mark Ruffalo.
00:38:33
Yeah, No, I haven't once started.
00:38:34
That one you need to start watching yet.
00:38:35
Yeah, I want to see that. Is it good I?
00:38:38
Supposed to really want. To start watching it.
00:38:39
Yeah. All right, well, we'll probably
00:38:40
talk about that next week or week after, all right, let's go
00:38:44
to the next one a little K, poppy pop here.
00:38:48
K pop star. Oh, I did not even do the intro.
00:38:52
Shame on me. Idol drama just got her.
00:38:55
RIP it. K pop star Gian Somi is making
00:38:58
her acting debut in Perfect Girl, a horror thriller
00:39:01
described as Scream meets Black Swan.
00:39:04
The film dives into the cutthroat world of K pop
00:39:07
trainees, where jealousy turns deadly and debut dreams become
00:39:12
nightmares. That actually sounds really
00:39:14
cool. 6 original tracks will accompany the chaos, though
00:39:17
Somi's musical involvement is still under wraps.
00:39:20
Interesting. So yeah.
00:39:22
James, is this your? Soda pop.
00:39:24
What was that? James is is this your soda pop?
00:39:26
It is my soda pop. My little soda pop.
00:39:29
It I mean, K pop is definitely like crossing into the
00:39:32
mainstream pop right now. So yeah, obviously this makes
00:39:36
sense. Like let's crossover K pop with
00:39:38
everything with with for little kids, for horror, whatever make
00:39:43
it happen. We're gonna get K pop
00:39:45
Transformers. Let's let's do this, K?
00:39:47
Pop Transformers. I think they're just called
00:39:49
Transformers. I don't.
00:39:51
Think it's that would be J pop. Transformers would be J Pop.
00:39:54
Yeah, Yeah, we're gonna get a Jurassic K Pop movie.
00:39:57
It'll be great. All the Kai Jews are in pink and
00:40:00
purple. OK, so I actually I think this
00:40:05
is a really cool idea. It just needs to be good.
00:40:08
Like, it can't just be some like, oh, here's the idea and
00:40:11
let's just throw a bunch of jump scares at people and make it the
00:40:15
par. It needs to be a good film
00:40:17
because I think that they could that could really do something
00:40:20
for like the genre. Think about trap.
00:40:24
Yeah, I need a black, pink DC. Crossover.
00:40:26
Absolutely, of course. Babymetal.
00:40:29
Babymetal again is J Pop. Babymetal is J Pop.
00:40:32
I'll tell you what. I know the baby metal is J Pop.
00:40:34
I'll tell you what this K pop thing is doing though and, and K
00:40:37
Pop Demon Hunters kind of proved it's like it's that time where
00:40:40
we can have movies and tell stories, but we can also have
00:40:44
music and soundtracks and they can crossover and both do well.
00:40:48
So just like how this is saying like, what is it?
00:40:51
6 new songs, 6 new original tracks?
00:40:53
Yeah, soundtracks and maybe making a comeback.
00:40:55
I think part of it is also to like just the the the proof in
00:40:59
the pudding for for K pop being the thing right now, or what K
00:41:02
pop demon hunters is proving is that you can do modern musicals
00:41:06
with modern music. They don't.
00:41:08
It doesn't have to be, you know, ballads and, and, and just
00:41:12
musical score where everything has to be like big Broadway
00:41:17
style music. Like you can do a successful
00:41:19
musical with, with J Well, with, with K pop, you know, like, like
00:41:23
K pop Demon Hunters is amazing. It's it's a really good movie.
00:41:25
And then on top of that, every single song in that movie is
00:41:28
fucking catchy as shit. So I mean bangers.
00:41:30
Yes, they are all 100% certified bangers.
00:41:34
I'll. Put it on.
00:41:35
I'll put it on when there's no kids in the car.
00:41:37
I don't care. Yeah, I seriously.
00:41:38
You know, it's funny, those. Rolled down.
00:41:40
I was just talking with my brother-in-law about this over
00:41:44
the weekend because I was like, oh, yeah, no, my guilty pleasure
00:41:46
right now is fucking K Pop Demon Hunters.
00:41:47
And he's like, OK, yeah. So my daughter's into like K
00:41:49
pop. And there she was talking about
00:41:51
like, he was asking her like, what's what's the thing you went
00:41:53
to go see? And they were talking about
00:41:54
some, some K pop band. And she goes, no, I don't like K
00:41:56
pop Demon Hunters because it's not real K pop.
00:41:58
It's garbage. I was like, what?
00:41:59
What's wrong with you? I was like looking at her.
00:42:02
She's also like 14 and she's like AK pop, like, like nerd.
00:42:05
But she was just like, no, it's, it's, it's it's garbage.
00:42:07
That movie wasn't good. And the music is really bad.
00:42:10
And I'm like, no, I was like, my guilty pleasure.
00:42:12
I will listen to fucking K pop demon hunters all day driving in
00:42:15
my work truck and just fucking dancing out to fucking soda pop
00:42:19
and and and your idol. And for some reason I like the
00:42:23
Soulja boys a lot. I don't know why.
00:42:25
And they're the bad guys. That's all right.
00:42:28
You, you don't jump in there. Hey, next time you go to the gym
00:42:31
I need you rocking it on the headphones loud enough so
00:42:34
everybody else can hear it, you know?
00:42:35
Oh, I'll put it on the speaker. I'll I will workout to how it's
00:42:39
done. You know, it's going like do do
00:42:41
do a chess workout, what with fucking how it's done playing in
00:42:43
the background. Hey, I like it how it's done
00:42:45
done done. Oh my God.
00:42:49
All right. From big rolls to big rumors,
00:42:52
we're switching tabs and refreshing the feed.
00:42:54
Quick Bites is incoming. Oh yeah, let's jump into all of
00:42:59
these stories, ladies and gentlemen.
00:43:02
Oh, wrong button. There we go.
00:43:03
Slay demons and the box office. Yes, please.
00:43:06
I haven't seen it yet, but I'm so ready for this movie.
00:43:09
Demon Slayer Infinity Castle just sliced through U.S. box
00:43:12
office records with a $70 million debut, tripling the
00:43:17
domestic launch of of The Moving Train and dethroning Pokémon.
00:43:21
The first movie after 26 years, Studio Photables animated
00:43:27
Bloodpath is now the biggest anime opening in U.S. history.
00:43:31
Demon Slayer Infinity Castle sliced through the box office
00:43:33
like butter under a nature and blade, leaving Hollywood stunned
00:43:38
and demons unemployed. Nice.
00:43:40
Hey, K, Pop. Demon Hunters.
00:43:42
Demon Slayer's doing well. I mean, we're seeing a shift.
00:43:46
We're seeing a shift in in things.
00:43:47
Just kill as many demons. I gotta say, Oh no, this is it.
00:43:51
Slay girl, slay, slay. Girl slay, slay boy.
00:43:56
Slay. Slay, Slay queen.
00:43:59
Slay Queen. OK, I don't know if if you guys
00:44:02
go to malls anymore or if they're even malls around you,
00:44:06
but I went to the mall. Arden Fair Mall 916 day, Shadow
00:44:10
10, Sacramento 916 day. I went to the mall and there's
00:44:13
like 3 different like anime stores in the mall.
00:44:17
Oh yeah, it's huge. Oh yeah.
00:44:19
It's huge nuts. And they all have this, you
00:44:21
know, green and and black checkered jacket, you know that
00:44:25
that he's wearing and it's crazy.
00:44:26
I'm just like walking around like everybody has has anime
00:44:30
now. It's like anime stores and then
00:44:32
Pop Mart and then mini sell stores.
00:44:34
It's like we've we've they've taken over.
00:44:36
They've taken over the malls. I mean, malls are ready to come.
00:44:38
Back, but dude, James, it's like for as long as we've been doing
00:44:42
comic cons and like when demon Slayer season 1 came out like
00:44:45
dude, one of the biggest things we noticed was how many people
00:44:48
walk around as Tanjiro and and Nezuko right?
00:44:51
And it's, it's insane the amount of just again, people dressed as
00:44:55
Tanjiro and, and, and, and Nezuko.
00:44:59
And I remember when, and then I remember seeing a nose skate for
00:45:02
the first time. I'm being like, what is this
00:45:04
dude? Like there's this dude running
00:45:06
around with the pig's head. And I remember when we did
00:45:09
Capitola Collecticon. I remember how.
00:45:11
Crazy you guys a long time ago. Yeah, you, you had like 3 demon
00:45:16
Slayer pops and you didn't know what it was.
00:45:18
You were just like, yeah, no, I just saw it was popular.
00:45:20
So I got him and I remember like somebody came over and went nuts
00:45:24
because you had a special edition Tanjaro that came with a
00:45:28
shirt and somebody was just freaking out about it.
00:45:30
So you're saying I was ahead of my time?
00:45:31
You. Kind of word like that, that
00:45:33
freak out like this kid freaking out over the shirt.
00:45:36
I say kid, but he was like in his 30s.
00:45:39
But this dude freaking out over this, this this Tanjaro pop made
00:45:44
me go watch demon Slayer and I've been hooked ever since.
00:45:47
Nice. Like demon Slayer is an amazing
00:45:49
show, man. Like it's, it's so good.
00:45:50
That's awesome. It's awesome.
00:45:52
It's cool to see. I don't, I don't mean to call
00:45:55
this new IP, but like new to the mainstream.
00:45:58
Yeah, IP kind of doing well in the fan base, coming out for it
00:46:02
and supporting it. So it's like, oh, just like K
00:46:05
Pop demon hunters doing well at the box office, like, wait, what
00:46:08
just happened? You know, it kind of legitimizes
00:46:10
them. So yeah, I think it's pretty
00:46:12
cool. All right.
00:46:12
Absolutely. Speaking of box office, The Rock
00:46:17
rolls the dice. Dwayne The Rock Johnson
00:46:21
confirmed that Jumanji 3 begins filming this November, reuniting
00:46:26
with Kevin Hart for another jungle jaunt.
00:46:29
The movie hits theaters December 2026.
00:46:32
And if the post credits scene for the next level isn't a clue,
00:46:35
the avatars might finally crash in the real world.
00:46:39
So yes, Jack Black's professor Shelley Oberon could be ordering
00:46:44
Starbucks in LA. Jumanji is breaking through true
00:46:47
to the real world. What?
00:46:49
Yeah, what? I'd like me some Jumanji.
00:46:52
I think it's a fun popcorn popcorn like series.
00:46:55
Oh, it definitely is a good popcorn flick.
00:46:57
I I agree. I mean, much as everybody wants
00:46:59
to talk smack about it, it's like, I mean, you know, it, it
00:47:02
went from a fun adventure movie to being a kind of like out of
00:47:07
this world adventure movie. And I, I mean, I like both
00:47:10
versions of it, you know, like it's fun.
00:47:12
They the difference in the comedy is really good.
00:47:15
You know, it's obviously for a different audience, but I mean,
00:47:17
it still works and it's it's really well done.
00:47:20
I did like the update that they did.
00:47:21
It was like there's nods to the board game, but the game had to
00:47:25
evolve and it became a video game.
00:47:27
Exactly, exactly. I just looked at Jumanji The
00:47:31
Next Level grossed over 800 million worldwide and Jumanji,
00:47:36
Welcome to the Jungle earned over 961 worldwide.
00:47:41
That's crazy. That's that's mad.
00:47:45
See the other two. Matt Aguilar made a astute
00:47:51
observation. He said.
00:47:51
Where's the yeet sound, Phil? You're not wrong.
00:47:54
Especially being a Bay boy growing up with all that you
00:47:57
know. 4 letters. One word.
00:48:00
Oh, I thought we're gonna say Jumanji.
00:48:03
One word. Jumanji.
00:48:04
That doesn't quite work. I.
00:48:07
Was gonna say defenestration, defenestration.
00:48:10
I don't know. We're about to get, we're about
00:48:12
to get yeah versus eat WWE, Yeah, yeah, versus eat
00:48:16
happening. OK, sorry.
00:48:17
There can be only delay. Henry Cavill sustained a
00:48:21
training injury prepping for Highlander, forcing production
00:48:25
to delay until early 2026. Director Chad Stalinski still
00:48:30
plans to deliver sword swinging immortals, with Cavill leading a
00:48:33
cast that includes Dave Batista, Russell Crowe and Karen Gillian.
00:48:38
Cavill may be immortal on screen, but off screen, not so
00:48:42
much. Someone called Liam Hemsworth.
00:48:44
Oh, that, that that is. That's hurt.
00:48:47
That's that's that's turning the blade.
00:48:50
That's hateful. Yeah.
00:48:51
That's. Hateful that that that hurts me
00:48:53
and deep in my soul. So you I go ahead.
00:48:56
I was gonna ask what you thought about, you know, this movie
00:48:59
getting pushed back. Because really, that's what it
00:49:00
means, right? This movie is gonna get pushed
00:49:02
back. I don't know, six months, maybe
00:49:04
more. I don't.
00:49:04
Did they say what the injury was?
00:49:06
No, it just said a training injury.
00:49:08
You got a Boo Boo for Highlander.
00:49:09
So it was probably like like either fight choreography or
00:49:12
sword. Yeah, I'm sure it had something
00:49:14
to do with the sword. I mean, he does a lot of like
00:49:17
sword work, but I mean, it's not hard, especially running around
00:49:20
with the claymore. I'm sure it's not hard in order
00:49:23
to like like for you to throw out a shoulder moving the swords
00:49:25
the way that he does. So that's oh.
00:49:28
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I'm OK with this delayed.
00:49:31
I'm not like clamoring for it, but I I want to see it.
00:49:34
Yeah. I mean, it's OK if I got to wait
00:49:35
an extra 3 months to make sure you know Superman heals his Boo
00:49:39
boos, you know what I mean? I I agree with this.
00:49:42
I mean, I, I, I've been wanting a new Highlander and I'm willing
00:49:45
to wait for it so. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
00:49:48
I was thinking that, I mean, you know, he got injured during
00:49:52
training. So do you think it was like user
00:49:55
error? Like he was like, no, no, I can
00:49:57
push, let me push more on to this or whatever.
00:49:59
And and that's what caused it. I just, I feel like shouldn't
00:50:03
training for the role, shouldn't that not injure you?
00:50:06
Isn't that like part of it is that you train so you don't get
00:50:09
injured? I mean, I get, I just, I don't
00:50:12
know, I feel like he needs to take care of himself.
00:50:14
First of all, that's a mom in me talking.
00:50:16
And second of all, like, you know, it's OK, you can use a
00:50:20
stunt person. I mean, that's that's there's a
00:50:22
whole industry of stunt people. Yeah.
00:50:25
So we know a lot of those people.
00:50:26
I just think that you, yeah, you, you can use stunt people.
00:50:29
But let's keep that in mind. Not every, not every stunt needs
00:50:33
to be done by Henry Cavill. Tom.
00:50:36
Cruise corrupt. I know Tom Cruise corrupted him.
00:50:39
This always happens after somebody does a movie with Tom
00:50:42
Cruise, all I'm saying. Pump up those arms.
00:50:46
So yeah, that's what I have to say, OK.
00:50:47
Alright, alright. So we're OK.
00:50:49
Yeah, let's. Hey, Liams Hemsworth, Just stay
00:50:52
bit. Stay over where you are.
00:50:53
Stay in your lane, Liam. Man, I'm, I'm, I'm waiting to
00:50:57
hold judgment until the next season of, of, of Witcher comes
00:51:01
out 'cause Witcher, it's like, yeah, I'm upset that Henry's not
00:51:04
playing the Witcher, but I'm, I, I want to see if Liam can, can,
00:51:08
can kind of bring the same excitement to the role.
00:51:12
And kind of like, you know, the the way that Henry kind of plays
00:51:14
it off, like Henry's so good at conveying emotion without saying
00:51:19
a damn thing. Grunting.
00:51:20
You mean grunting? Just grunting like he can grunt
00:51:23
and you know, like it's almost like he just had an entire line
00:51:25
of dialogue and it works. And Henry Cavill is just that,
00:51:28
that damn good of an actor. Plus I want to see Dave Batista
00:51:31
as the Kurgan. So I mean, I just, I just want
00:51:32
I, I, I don't, I don't really care for Russell Crowe as, as
00:51:36
the Spaniard. It's kind of like there's so
00:51:37
many good Spanish actors that you could have gotten to play
00:51:39
the Spaniard and you got Russell Crowe.
00:51:40
But I mean like Dave Batista as the Kurgan sounds kind of fun
00:51:43
so. I'll I'll let you move on in a
00:51:44
second, but have you seen the teaser for The Witcher with Liam
00:51:48
Hemsworth? I haven't yet.
00:51:49
OK, I haven't. Matt Aguilar saying Liam looks
00:51:52
awesome in the clip again, it's I want to see the acting.
00:51:55
I'm sure he can pull off all the stunt work.
00:51:57
I just want to be able to see, I want to see how he looks good as
00:51:59
an acting in the role. Yeah, you got to look good
00:52:02
fighting a ghost with and then you're fighting a ghost with a
00:52:04
sword. So yeah, you got to look good.
00:52:06
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, well, we're moving on
00:52:08
here. Mario Goes Galactic, Nintendo
00:52:12
and Illumination revealed the sequel to the Super Mario
00:52:14
Brothers movie is titled Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
00:52:17
Wait a minute, I got to bring up the excitement for that.
00:52:22
Blasting into theaters April 3rd, 2026, Chris Pratt, Anya
00:52:26
Taylor Joy and Jack Black return with fans speculating
00:52:29
speculating Rosalina's debut. If Mario's going interstellar,
00:52:33
we expect gravity defying mustaches and lumas with
00:52:36
attitude. I mean, the luma in the first
00:52:37
movie was, was, was so nihilistic.
00:52:40
It, I absolutely love that character because it's like the
00:52:44
contrast in that character. She was so like deathly
00:52:47
depressing, but at the same time she had such an upbeat attitude
00:52:51
with the most depressing things that she was saying we're all
00:52:53
going to die. That was funny.
00:52:57
That was funny. All I know I.
00:52:58
Haven't watched it. Oh, it's so good.
00:53:00
It's it's they did they did so much with that movie in order to
00:53:05
make it really like well done. The characters, you know,
00:53:08
they're they're, they're they're so well put together and well
00:53:11
written and they and they fit character so well.
00:53:14
And the voice acting it's it ended up being a lot better than
00:53:18
any of us expected. So I mean, it was, it was, it
00:53:20
was good. It was a really good movie.
00:53:21
Exactly. Think how beautiful and vibrant
00:53:25
this is gonna be. Like when they do the rainbow
00:53:28
track. Oh my gosh, this is gonna be
00:53:29
amazing. So excited for this.
00:53:31
I agree. When I play with the kids, it's
00:53:34
like when I get on this track, I'm like, wow, it's so pretty.
00:53:37
It's so cool. And next thing you know, like my
00:53:39
son's zooming by me. I'm like damn it, gotta stop
00:53:42
looking at the rainbow. That's how they get you.
00:53:43
I know, right? Yeah, that's how they get you.
00:53:45
That's woohoo, you know. OK, so yo, is Yoshi a dinosaur?
00:53:51
Or Yoshi is a Yoshi is a dinosaur.
00:53:53
He's supposed to be a T Rex. Obviously.
00:53:55
Yeah, they're supposed. To be like.
00:53:56
Sure he's not a dragon? No, they're supposed to be like
00:53:59
pocket T rexes. I thought he was like the second
00:54:01
cousin once removed to toothless, no ah.
00:54:05
I see what you did here though, very good.
00:54:08
Yeah, yeah, Toothless lands on Peacock, everyone.
00:54:12
The live action remake of How to Train Your Dragon hits Peacock
00:54:16
October 10th, starring Mason Thames as Hiccup and Nicole
00:54:21
Nico. I'm sorry, Nico.
00:54:23
Nico Parker as Astrid Gerard Butler reprises Stuck the Vast
00:54:28
and yes, Toothless still steals the show.
00:54:32
Bonus Peacocks dropping the full animated trilogy and a gag reel.
00:54:36
Dragons deleted scenes and dad jokes.
00:54:39
I'm getting Zaddy dragon fun. I definitely enjoyed this movie.
00:54:44
Yeah, I haven't seen it yet. I definitely want to see it.
00:54:47
I didn't see it while I was in theaters.
00:54:49
Again, just bringing up how successful this movie was
00:54:54
because it was. It was like a worldwide
00:54:56
sensation. Box Office Mojo, if I can spell
00:55:01
Mojo correctly, has this movie. I know it's top 10 right here.
00:55:05
Let's see. It was top 25 movies, top 25
00:55:09
movies of the year in the US. It was #7 domestic gross in the
00:55:14
US. Worldwide it was #5 S right
00:55:17
after Jurassic World. Nice.
00:55:19
Yeah, I if you liked the original animated movie, it's
00:55:24
it's like 90% that. Yeah, but you know, live action,
00:55:27
the the special effects look really good.
00:55:30
Gerard Butler is perfect in his role in the animated one live
00:55:35
action. It's so perfect.
00:55:37
Nick Frost is really good in this as well, so I'm I'm super
00:55:40
into it. Who does Nick Frost play?
00:55:42
The the metal worker. The blacksmith dude, Yeah.
00:55:45
The dude with the hook. The the dude with the hook for
00:55:47
hands. Yes, yes.
00:55:49
Oh my God, he was so he was so good.
00:55:51
I think Craig Ferguson played him in the in in the animated
00:55:53
version. This has a touch more father,
00:55:56
son, you know, connection in this movie and and it works so.
00:56:00
I like that. No, I'm definitely gonna need to
00:56:02
check out I. Haven't.
00:56:03
Yeah, I haven't watched it either.
00:56:04
I do need I I want to watch it. I liked the animated movie.
00:56:07
I'm a big fan of the animated movie so I mean I did want to
00:56:10
see the animated or the live action one.
00:56:12
I chose Lilo and Stitch over this, which again, not a bad
00:56:15
choice. Lilo and Stitch was a really
00:56:16
good movie so. I chose both.
00:56:18
More popcorn for me. I just want to say Hashtag Pro
00:56:21
Dragon. Yeah, we're all pro dragon here.
00:56:23
Just get the bucket where you can get free refills and you're
00:56:27
set all day. OK, moving on.
00:56:30
Psycho History. Can't have the popcorn.
00:56:33
No, some of us can't go back. Let's back this up because he
00:56:36
just said something and I, I, I am a little bit offended.
00:56:41
I'm a little offended by that. Some of us can't have the
00:56:44
popcorn. But popcorn still exists.
00:56:47
But it still exists. It's still a SO.
00:56:49
Free refills on popcorn would not be good for me.
00:56:54
I'm allergic to that oil. And you're not allergic to the
00:56:58
popcorn itself. How could you?
00:57:02
Oh, could you? Maybe you get an extra helping
00:57:05
of Milk Duds. What?
00:57:07
I can't have Milk Duds either. Oh my God, what is wrong?
00:57:11
Coconut. She's allergic to coconut.
00:57:12
She can't do anything with coconut oil.
00:57:14
It's. The coconut oil palm oil
00:57:16
conundrum all over again, nerds. Such a problem complainer, not a
00:57:20
problem solver. Let's move on, guys.
00:57:23
Let's move on to this story. No, she brought it up.
00:57:25
Now we got to figure it out. What can you have in the theatre
00:57:28
so far? Water.
00:57:30
I can have water. You're you're right about that.
00:57:32
I I've had the Icees, the slushies.
00:57:35
You can have ice and water OK. And and apparently syrup.
00:57:39
Oh, you could have, I can't, I can have the, I can't have the
00:57:43
Coca-Cola syrup, but I can have like the strawberry or the
00:57:46
cherry or the, the blue, the blue Raspberry.
00:57:49
I can have a lot of the gummy stuff.
00:57:51
I basically have to go in and look on every if I want
00:57:55
something, look at the ingredients of everything.
00:57:57
So basically she has to bring her own snacks there, make sure
00:57:59
she doesn't get killed. By right now, you're admitting
00:58:01
it on the Internet that you're smuggling in contraband into the
00:58:05
movie theaters, say. It no, I don't have popcorn.
00:58:09
I do not eat popcorn in there. We have smuggled in the past,
00:58:14
but that was before that. She's she's she's a coconuts are
00:58:18
trying to assassinate her like it's Moana bro.
00:58:22
Yeah, bro. Hey, if we ever do another movie
00:58:25
event, maybe we'll do it in Oklahoma and I'll eat all the
00:58:28
popcorn. For you.
00:58:28
There you go. OK.
00:58:29
Right in front of me so that I can just stare like laser beams
00:58:33
in here. I will become cyclops just so I
00:58:36
can burn a hole, alright? Let's let's let's continue guys,
00:58:39
OK. Psycho history lives that.
00:58:43
I don't know what that means. Apple TV Plus renewed foundation
00:58:46
for Season 4 with Ian Goldberg and Dave Cobb stepping in as Co
00:58:51
showrunners. Jared Harris, Lou Lobel and Lee
00:58:54

00:59:09
Foundation. Long live psycho history.
00:59:12
Jen, did you watch this show? You.
00:59:14
No, I've never seen this show. I've seen a lot of hype for the
00:59:19
Foundation. I didn't watch it.
00:59:21
I know you guys watch a lot of Apple TV.
00:59:23
That's why I asked if you watch it.
00:59:24
James, did you watch the Foundation?
00:59:26
Long live psycho history. He doesn't know what he's
00:59:30
talking about either. Yeah, and it's the funniest
00:59:32
thing. It tickled me so much.
00:59:34
Long live. When he got to metallic, I was
00:59:37
like, oh, he did. He has no, this is this could be
00:59:40
another language to him. He would have no clue.
00:59:43
You could have put schlangle in here and I would spongle.
00:59:48
Schlongo is a different Schlongo is a different page on the
00:59:51
Internet. Oh, where?
00:59:52
Where are we? You don't want to squash on the.
00:59:55
Yeah, you need, you need to not, you need to not squash on the on
00:59:58
the schlongle. Oh.
00:59:59
My God squash you and. Your spongle is fine.
01:00:01
Spongling is fine. You can.
01:00:02
You can spongle the squash now. I'm planning on binging this
01:00:06
this show. I'm planning on binging the
01:00:08
Foundation because I do want to see it.
01:00:09
I I really do enjoy Isaac Asimov and that this comes from him.
01:00:13
This is one of his. Yeah, and that's why I'm
01:00:16
interested in he wrote this an Asimov, Yeah, it's based on an
01:00:19
Asimov stories, I mean. This is Apple TV's Expanse.
01:00:24
This is like one of their like, hey, we need to do a sci-fi show
01:00:27
and it's gonna run for a few seasons and we're gonna put a
01:00:30
lot of money into it. Yeah, oh, yeah.
01:00:32
And I hear it's amazing. I love Jared Harris, Richard
01:00:36
Harris's son. Oh, look at that.
01:00:39
All right, we got some things to watch.
01:00:42
Yeah, I'll start watching. I'll loop you guys in on what I
01:00:46
think of it after I finished like the first season.
01:00:48
Maybe we need to do a challenge. Accepted.
01:00:51
Oh, for foundation, huh? Huh.
01:00:55
Maybe. So.
01:00:56
Let's go from Lee Pace looking at us like we just killed a
01:01:01
puppy to Ahsoka returning. Right there.
01:01:06
OK, Ahsoka will return in Brick for Ashley Eckstein.
01:01:10
Eckstein. Eckstein, Stein.
01:01:13
Eckstein OK Ashley Eckstein reprises her iconic role as
01:01:18
Ahsoka Tano in the Lego Star Wars Rebuild the Galaxy pieces
01:01:23
of the Past, premiering September 19 on Disney Plus.
01:01:27
The Force is strong and so is the absurdity.
01:01:30
It's not Canon. It is Chaos, brick heads,
01:01:33
Ahsoka, Sith Jar Jar and a hot tub stormtrooper.
01:01:37
I'm, I'm just, I'm just, I have to like throw this out there,
01:01:40
but is that Jackson? Did they make a?
01:01:43
They go Jackson. I I I picked that particular
01:01:46
photo because of that. We I think we were talking about
01:01:50
Jackson a while back about like how absurd of a character
01:01:54
Jackson was. He was a so.
01:01:55
So for those of you who may not know what that rabbit is,
01:01:59
Jackson is a a Star Wars character that came about in the
01:02:05
late 70s, early 80s in the in the Marvel Comics because they
01:02:08
couldn't use regular Star Wars characters.
01:02:10
So they came up with this, this rabbit smuggler who also happens
01:02:15
to be AX Wing pilot. We called them the Friends of
01:02:20
Chewbacca, Yeah. And it's just it's, it's it's
01:02:23
funny because I think I want to say when Chad came on, we were
01:02:26
making jokes about Jackson and just being a character.
01:02:29
Yeah, just like, oh, we're going to talk about space bunnies and
01:02:31
Jackson and being a character. And he's just, we had so much
01:02:35
fun making fun of Jackson and the fact that Lego and Disney
01:02:38
are like, hey, we're gonna do absurd stuff.
01:02:40
Let's put Jackson inside of a movie and he's in the fucking
01:02:42
trailer. That's amazing.
01:02:44
Yeah. Also the fact that that Ahsoka
01:02:48
is a brickhead. I I literally have that exact
01:02:52
thing that's on the screen right now sitting in my in my living
01:02:54
room. Nice.
01:02:55
I have that that that exact brickhead Ahsoka brickhead
01:03:00
sitting in my living room right now.
01:03:01
I just love it. I think it's gonna be fun
01:03:03
though. I've been meaning to watch this
01:03:05
this I don't know series. The first it's yeah, the first
01:03:09
one is hilarious. Is it?
01:03:10
Yeah. I've gotta watch them.
01:03:11
It's on the list. I'm gonna watch this tonight,
01:03:14
right after Alien Earth. Nothing goes together like Lego
01:03:17
brickheads. I'll be I'll be watching Sumo.
01:03:19
Yeah, I actually finally started.
01:03:21
I started watching the first episode of Alien Earth and then
01:03:24
I got distracted. But I mean, like, I'm definitely
01:03:27
in on it. It's, it's it, it definitely has
01:03:29
the feel of like the original Alien series and I really dig
01:03:33
that. Super good, Super good.
01:03:35
OK. So speaking.
01:03:36
Speaking of brick heads, LEGO's new Death Star set, kit number
01:03:41
75419, is its biggest Star Wars build ever.
01:03:45
It includes everything from the trash compactor to the Emperor
01:03:48
to the Emperor Palpatine's throne room.
01:03:49
Also a stormtrooper in a hot tub because even the Empire needs a
01:03:53
spa day. The set comes with 9023 pieces,
01:03:57
38 mini and a price tag of just under $1000.
01:04:02
Holy cow. Yeah.
01:04:04
So just so everybody knows, we are now taking donations for the
01:04:07
distance earning Patreon so we can build this on the show we
01:04:12
will take. Say that that hot tub
01:04:14
stormtrooper really gets around. Yeah, we, we, we definitely need
01:04:19
all of the donations. So I can build this on the
01:04:21
build. Look how big that thing is.
01:04:22
Look at the guy sitting next to him.
01:04:24
Unless he's unless he's a little person, that thing is massive.
01:04:27
9000 pieces Masses. Yeah, that thing would last me
01:04:30
all year. That's more than my mortgage per
01:04:34
month. Look at that, you get one of
01:04:36
those what else called the Emperor's ship.
01:04:39
I forgot what that's. Called the the the Shuttle, it's
01:04:42
a. Imperial Shuttle you get one of.
01:04:44
Those. No, it's, it's an imperial
01:04:45
shuttle. I, I built, I built an imperial
01:04:48
shuttle on the show. So I mean, like it's crazy that
01:04:51
like, Oh yeah, we're, it's so big of a kit that it, it's got a
01:04:54
full on imperial shuttle on the inside of it.
01:04:57
So do you think that is that the same imperial shuttle that
01:05:00
you're, do you have to buy the Imperial shuttle?
01:05:03
No, it looks, it looks smaller. It looks like a smaller scale
01:05:06
version of it, but I mean it's smaller version.
01:05:08
It's only it's. It's only about half the size of
01:05:10
the one that I built. I don't see the hot tub guy.
01:05:12
He's in The Time Machine. Yeah, it's on the backside.
01:05:15
I'm just kidding. I don't.
01:05:15
Know OK, I'm like looking I'm over here going where's the?
01:05:18
Time machine. Where's the hot tub?
01:05:20
He doesn't. Want The Time Machine?
01:05:22
It's just a hot tub. It is the hot tub.
01:05:24
What's they have? Aching, aching muscles as well.
01:05:29
So so Matt Aguilar saying that he's seeing so many reviews of
01:05:32
this thing and it's like more than any other site he's ever
01:05:34
seen. He said that the hot tub guys in
01:05:36
a compartment at the top of the Death Star.
01:05:38
Nice. Oh that's, that's awesome.
01:05:40
I love. That you know what I like.
01:05:41
In the hot tub, Stormtrooper. You know what I like about
01:05:44
watching you build Legos like this is like, all the little
01:05:47
Easter eggs that the creators put into a set like this.
01:05:52
Like when you built the. What's that?
01:05:53
The Nintendo. Yeah.
01:05:54
Like the original Nintendo, there's all kinds of little
01:05:57
Easter eggs in it, and I thought that was so cool.
01:06:00
So I can't wait to see what kind of Easter eggs they have besides
01:06:02
a hot tub Stormtrooper. It's a trip because when I'm
01:06:05
looking at the picture right now, so like you can see Vader's
01:06:09
Vader's sensory chambers right there right above that is the
01:06:14
the scene where Vader chokes out the the dude, you know, as you
01:06:18
wish. Mm hmm.
01:06:20
Right next to that is Obi Wan taking taking down the tractor
01:06:25
beam Next to that looks like the the detention rooms.
01:06:31
You know below that is like the hallway that's like reused in
01:06:34
like 30 different scenes in this movie.
01:06:36
Below that is the trash compactor.
01:06:37
Above that is the actual laser and then above that is the the
01:06:42
throwing room. Like it's just insane the amount
01:06:45
of stuff that is in this thing. I.
01:06:47
Love it. So again, ladies and gentlemen,
01:06:49
if you would like to donate to Distance Narrating so that I can
01:06:51
build this on the show, we are now taking donations
01:06:55
specifically so that we can build this $1000 Death Star on
01:06:58
the show. Can I ask an ethical question?
01:07:00
Yeah. OK, so we know it's $1000 and
01:07:03
you're like, I want to get it. I want to build it.
01:07:05
What if what if Teamu slid into your DMS and was like, hey, I
01:07:10
got the set. It's not Lego, but we'll call it
01:07:12
Lego. But hey, give it to you for
01:07:14
$400.00. It's the same set.
01:07:15
It would you do it, it wouldn't be the same set.
01:07:17
I'm just saying. It's Teamu and it wouldn't be
01:07:19
the same set. If team was calling, I'm just
01:07:22
saying I'm wondering if you'd pick up.
01:07:23
Yeah, oh, he said. It also comes with a Galen, the
01:07:26
first ever Galen Urso minifig, which is actually kind of cool.
01:07:29
So. That's so awesome.
01:07:30
If we could get a Galen Urso and a Thron, we could have both the
01:07:34
mix and brothers. That's true.
01:07:36
It's it's very true from inspection, he's like.
01:07:39
Yes, this is the laser. He only designed the thing he's
01:07:42
like he designed millions of. People he only designed.
01:07:45
It with a with. One flaw he designed.
01:07:47
It with a small exhaust port that you can shoot a laser
01:07:51
through that's the size of a womp rat.
01:07:53
Galen designed it with a hot tub.
01:07:55
What is he thinking I mean? You know, you got to relax.
01:07:57
Galen likes to party. He definitely.
01:07:59
Likes to party. Let's let's move.
01:08:01
On guys. I like that it's hidden by the
01:08:03
laser. I know, right?
01:08:05
Yeah. Hey.
01:08:06
Hide the naked stormtrooper behind.
01:08:07
The the big What happens behind the laser stays behind the
01:08:10
laser. Hide it behind that big.
01:08:11
Phallic laser, Yeah. Oh my gosh.
01:08:14
He says it actually he. Actually has a tiny version of
01:08:17
the Death Star plan. Does he?
01:08:19
Oh my God, that's awesome. That's.
01:08:22
Amazing. Oh amazing.
01:08:23
That's so good. So there's more than one plan of
01:08:26
the Death Star. Oh, imagine.
01:08:27
That empire, Jesus. All right, Next one.
01:08:30
OK, Many Bothans died to get these plans to you.
01:08:34
OK. But there's more than one plan.
01:08:36
Oh my God. All right.
01:08:37
In Jen. Predicted this news?
01:08:39
James Gunn confirmed Man of Tomorrow.
01:08:41
We'll see David Cornswat's Superman and Nicholas Holtz Lex
01:08:45
Luthor teaming up against a much, much bigger threat.
01:08:48
The sequel hits theaters July 9th, 2027.
01:08:52
It's not that far away. And yes, Lex is rocking the
01:08:56
purple and green war suit. The Lex suit.
01:08:59
If Brainiac shows up, we owe Jen $20.
01:09:02
Redos dollar. Redos dollar redos.
01:09:07
It's a didgeridoo, but they're. Dollars exactly I.
01:09:10
Like it when it gets you, you have to give a $20.
01:09:13
Redos. Dollar redos y'all?
01:09:15
Y'all have to give a $20 redos? If you don't give a $20 redos.
01:09:19
Is it worth it? I'm still surprised you don't
01:09:21
give me $20 redos. I'll send my.
01:09:24
Kangaroo on Yeah, OK, I can't do it.
01:09:27
That was I'm going to stick on you.
01:09:29
I'm going to send the group to you.
01:09:31
Go ahead, James. You call that a dollar a do you
01:09:34
call that a dollar do? You call that a dollar Do.
01:09:38
This is a dollar a do. I was going to say that we just
01:09:43
got Superman. You know, just a month or two
01:09:45
ago. But in less than two months, two
01:09:48
years, sorry, we're getting the second Superman movie.
01:09:51
Oh my God, when is this going in?
01:09:53
It's like, have they filmed part of this already?
01:09:55
No, he he just said he finished the the script.
01:09:58
For it, the Scripter E Roo. Yeah, the Scripter E Roo, Matt.
01:10:03
If I didn't already. Have a name for this episode?
01:10:08
But I mean, no, he it what it seems like what he's doing.
01:10:11
And this is kind of what I'm I'm the the the gist that I'm
01:10:14
getting from him, like the vibe that I'm getting from him is
01:10:17
they're essentially writing this entire universe as one
01:10:22
continuous story. And it's just like it's almost
01:10:24
like in comic books how you have tie in stories, right?
01:10:28
So it's like, OK, Superman is the main comic book, but then
01:10:31
hey, here's this Wonder Woman tie in story that something else
01:10:34
is happening on the side, but it ties into the main story almost
01:10:36
like what Marvel was trying to do for a while.
01:10:38
I think he is doing a straight up here is all of the story and
01:10:43
this is how Man of Tomorrow is going to fit into this overall
01:10:46
story that he is writing right now.
01:10:48
So we have the Superman that came out.
01:10:50
We have Peacemaker coming in and tying all that stuff together.
01:10:55
Creature Commandos was before that.
01:10:56
After that, after this, we're getting a woman of tomorrow.
01:10:59
So I mean, like, I, I think that they're, they're essentially
01:11:02
telling this main story and he had something where it's like,
01:11:06
OK, I already know where these storylines are going.
01:11:10
So this is where we can go in the direction of for man of
01:11:13
tomorrow. I wonder how much lanterns
01:11:16
lanterns. Season of Creature.
01:11:18
Commandos. Yeah.
01:11:19
So I mean I. Feel like he.
01:11:20
He already, because he already knows where.
01:11:22
The scripts are AT and where everything is supposed to end
01:11:25
up, That's where he can go and say, OK, so this is where Man of
01:11:28
Tomorrow is going to take us, right?
01:11:29
Which means they can start feeding in Easter eggs as early.
01:11:33
I mean, he may already have Easter eggs in the season finale
01:11:36
of Peacemaker. Like this season of Peacemaker
01:11:39
could easily do a Easter egg moving into this movie already.
01:11:44
Yeah, yeah. I wonder if he's going to direct
01:11:46
it. I'm sure he.
01:11:47
Is. I know that it seems like.
01:11:48
This is like his baby at this point.
01:11:50
It's, yeah, it's the flagship, but I mean, he has other.
01:11:53
Directors working on Peacemaker, but even though he wrote
01:11:55
everything but he has other directors like Greg Mottolo I
01:11:58
think directed a few episodes. So I think part of it is also
01:12:01
like I was saying, I think also is part also.
01:12:04
That part of this is that, you know, he started writing and
01:12:07
wrote a bunch of this stuff just to kind of show like, hey, this
01:12:10
is where we want to go. So other writers could jump in
01:12:12
and start writing scripts and saying, hey, I want to add this
01:12:15
into this and you know, hey, here's my Bible.
01:12:18
Like James Gunn is going, here's my Bible.
01:12:19
You know, this is where I need you to get to by the end of
01:12:22
this, this script, this movie, this show.
01:12:25
And you know, that way it ties into everything else, you know,
01:12:27
But I think he that 'cause he wrote Creature Commandos, he
01:12:29
wrote Man of Tomorrow. He had editorial on on Woman of
01:12:36
Tomorrow. You know, he wrote Peacemaker.
01:12:38
I mean, like he's he's he's got his hands in all of it.
01:12:41
And whether he's a writer or he's somebody that's got kind of
01:12:45
like final say on everything. So I mean, again, I think there
01:12:47
is a concise story that he is telling to get to the end of
01:12:51
Gods and Monsters. Cool.
01:12:53
I think so too. I mean, yeah, absolutely.
01:12:55
I think. Some of these bigger threats,
01:12:59
like a threat that Lex and Superman would team up or will
01:13:03
bring in other heroes so you can introduce even more heroes in
01:13:07
the next one to set up more movies or set up TV shows or
01:13:11
different things like that. So yeah, I think it absolutely,
01:13:14
it's, I'm glad it's happening and I'm glad it's happening
01:13:17
quickly. I think James Gunn is just
01:13:18
really excited and he's got a lot of like ideas flowing
01:13:22
through him. And so he's trying to get him
01:13:24
out now while he while he's excited about it.
01:13:26
The only thing that would make it better is if we got Alan
01:13:29
Richson. In the DCU.
01:13:32
Ah well, do I have news for you, Sir?
01:13:35
Reacher reaches for Alan Richardson confirmed he's spoken
01:13:39
with James Gunn about joining the DCU, but not as Batman.
01:13:42
Boo. Hold on.
01:13:43
Hold on. Right here.
01:13:44
I've got it. You suck.
01:13:46
Yeah, a little upset about that. He's ruled out Aquaman, too, out
01:13:49
of respect for Jason Momoa. Wildcat, maybe.
01:13:51
Whatever the role is, Richardson's ready to punch,
01:13:55
brood and deliver gravely monologues.
01:13:57
Just don't expect the Cape get Alan turn heel and play a
01:14:00
villain. What do you guys think?
01:14:02
Interesting. Like I have a top five.
01:14:05
OK. This I want to know mainly.
01:14:07
Because Jen. Is our resident, like, comic
01:14:11
nerd? She's more nerdy about comics
01:14:12
than I am. And I know comics.
01:14:14
So I mean, I, you specifically you, I want to know what your
01:14:17
top five is. OK, but I'll do it.
01:14:20
Can I do it after James? Because he did jump.
01:14:22
In first. Yeah, yeah, I, I mean, I'm
01:14:24
totally up for it. I want to hear it too.
01:14:25
But I will. Say what if, what if he comes
01:14:27
back as Hawk? What if he finds a way to come
01:14:29
back? I feel like that's a waste.
01:14:30
That's that's, that's 100% waste.
01:14:33
That's what Husby's been saying, and I'm like, you shut your
01:14:35
mouth. No, that's shut your mouth.
01:14:36
That's a waste. Richardson is bringing him back
01:14:38
as. Hawk.
01:14:39
Hawk is too minor of a character for you.
01:14:40
Didn't let me finish. I said Hawkman, that yes. 100%
01:14:45
for that, yes, I am one. 100% up for Alan Richardson playing
01:14:49
Hawkman. Almost lost.
01:14:50
My nerd really squashed that spongle.
01:14:52
He really did. Squash that spongle.
01:14:54
OK, OK. So I like that.
01:14:57
I like. Hawkman.
01:14:58
I didn't think about Hawkman. That's actually a really good
01:15:01
idea. I think that would be a good
01:15:02
idea. So I have a top five and then I
01:15:05
have an alternate, obviously, I mean, but my top five choices,
01:15:09
Green Arrow. So I think we talked about this
01:15:12
Green Arrow. Yeah, I think he would be able
01:15:13
to talk. About that before, yeah, I think
01:15:15
he would be a really good Oliver Queen just because he can.
01:15:18
He can capture that comedy, but also kind of like the action
01:15:21
aspect of what Oliver Queen should be.
01:15:24
Oh yeah, absolutely. Azrael, which I think I've
01:15:26
mentioned. Before Jean Paul Valley.
01:15:29
I don't know how I feel about him being Jean Paul Valley.
01:15:31
I feel like he's not, I think. It would be really cool.
01:15:33
He's he's broody. I don't feel like he.
01:15:35
Is and he. I might be wrong in this I I
01:15:38
don't feel like he's dark enough to go and be John Paul Valley.
01:15:41
John Paul Valley needs to be a fucking nihilist.
01:15:43
I think he could. I think it would be a really
01:15:46
cool character. Arc for him if he did go like
01:15:49
really brutal like his character does yeah and then we get to see
01:15:54
his like realization on what he's done and how he changes
01:15:58
because Azrael does change he does change after nightfall and
01:16:02
so I think that that that could I mean that honestly I think
01:16:06
that might be a really good art or Alan Rickson to do so I'm
01:16:10
very much the Jean Jean Paul Valley Jean Paul Valley cat man
01:16:15
cat man he. Would be amazing.
01:16:17
As cat man in this cat man, that'd be Oh my God.
01:16:20
Although now. I'm thinking about it.
01:16:22
Chris Pratt would actually be a really good cat man.
01:16:24
As well. But I think Cat Man, I love
01:16:26
Secret 6. Wouldn't that be amazing to have
01:16:28
a secret, the TV show or movie? And yeah, have Alan Rickman.
01:16:31
That would be amazing that that that would be interesting to see
01:16:34
Thomas Blake show up in this. Yes.
01:16:36
The thing is, is that thing is that with that, I wouldn't put
01:16:40
it past James Gunn to put Thomas Blake in this universe.
01:16:43
Ohh, No, absolutely. James Gunn likes reaching.
01:16:45
So Prometheus. Ohh, OK, that's.
01:16:48
A good call. That's it.
01:16:49
That that is OK. I can see him playing Prometheus
01:16:52
and I also thought Animal man but I did that solely.
01:16:55
Off of how he played his character in The Hunger Games,
01:16:59
OK, because I just, I felt like, you know, the way that he was
01:17:02
with the water and how he got. He was almost feral at points.
01:17:05
And I just think that he would be a really interesting choice
01:17:08
for animal man. He's got the hair for it.
01:17:10
He does. Yeah, absolutely.
01:17:11
I just think it might be. Interesting, you know.
01:17:13
Animal man's, you know, ecological.
01:17:16
He's really messed up, like a lot of stuff going on with his
01:17:19
life. Then he has to deal with
01:17:21
swamping. Yeah, we get Vincent d'onofrio,
01:17:24
a swamp Thing, and him as animal man.
01:17:26
Holy moly, mother of Foley, I had to pull this back on the
01:17:30
screen. Now all I can see is Carter
01:17:32
Hall, right? I I cannot Unsee Carter Hall at
01:17:36
this. Point because of the way.
01:17:37
He's I think he would be an amazing Hawkman.
01:17:40
Yeah, but again, I need. The Thanagarian version of
01:17:43
Hawkman I. Need Carter Hall from from
01:17:45
Thanagar, not Carter Hall. You know the I'm I'm a dude with
01:17:50
with with like strap on wings. Easy.
01:17:53
No, I meant that exactly the way I said it like.
01:17:55
I said I would. Prefer him to be the Thanagarian
01:17:57
version. I'm pretty sure the hot girl
01:17:59
that we have is the Thanagarian version of hot girl.
01:18:02
So interesting. I got I got one more for you.
01:18:05
Yeah, one more how? About Orion, we talked about
01:18:07
that. I think you talked with Frank
01:18:09
about this. I also would be OK with him
01:18:12
being Orion and it's because him as Orion would still be a
01:18:16
massive role, especially if they start getting into the new gods.
01:18:19
You know, Orion beat for beat can hold his own against
01:18:23
Superman and that's a pretty big deal.
01:18:25
So I think I think that he would be a pretty good Orion,
01:18:28
especially when he becomes an ally and you know, him and the
01:18:31
Justice League team up to fight dark side.
01:18:33
I think I think he would be a good a good Orion.
01:18:35
So I I'm up there was a there was a really cool story a few
01:18:39
years ago. In Wonder Woman where she teamed
01:18:42
up with Orion and he was like super misogynistic and stuff to
01:18:45
her and she just kept like, she just like took it.
01:18:48
But like every time, like they would fight somebody and he
01:18:51
would just be like, yeah, I told I, you know, I was totally gonna
01:18:55
kick his ass and stuff. And she just like let it go.
01:18:58
And then finally 1, he just like she just snapped because she
01:19:01
couldn't take it anymore and just beat the ever living crap
01:19:05
out of him. And it was glorious.
01:19:07
Anyway, that'd be interesting to see his relationship with Barda.
01:19:11
Oh yeah. Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:19:12
That would be amazing. Yes, but yeah.
01:19:14
What if he what if he ends up a villain?
01:19:16
I, you know. Well, that's what she was.
01:19:17
Saying Cat Man's a villain, Batman Prometheus is a villain,
01:19:20
I mean. Like where Prometheus starts off
01:19:21
as a villain. So I mean like those are those
01:19:23
are those are characters. Oh, you know, OK, this just
01:19:25
popped in my head. What if he's Maxi Zeus?
01:19:27
Who? Oh, that'd be cool.
01:19:28
So Maxi Zeus. I was also.
01:19:30
Oh, go ahead Maxi, Zeus is. A he's.
01:19:33
Technically a Batman rogue. But he's pretty much a rogue for
01:19:35
anybody that is in Gotham, which there are more than there's,
01:19:40
there's more than one hero in Gotham at this point.
01:19:42
But I mean, like Maxi Zeus, he is supposed to be a
01:19:46
reincarnation of Zeus of like the God Zeus, but he's not
01:19:50
really. So it's like he's delusional.
01:19:53
Yeah, he's delusional. And he thinks that he's, you
01:19:55
know, a God. But The thing is, is that he's
01:19:57
so like naturally powerful that he can overpower Batman.
01:20:02
So I mean, like, you know, it's just he's he's kind of like Bane
01:20:04
without the without the enhancements.
01:20:07
And again, he's a dilute. He's like, yeah, he's like Bane,
01:20:09
but he's got like a Greek mythology.
01:20:11
Fetish. Yeah, he's just like obsessed
01:20:14
with and he thinks that he is. Zeus right, so he's just like
01:20:16
this delusional dude and that's why he belongs in in Arkham
01:20:20
because he's batshit crazy, but he has the build for Maxi Zeus.
01:20:23
That's why I'm like that could be he could be a good maxi Zeus.
01:20:26
I was thinking if authority does get made, he would.
01:20:29
Also be a really good midnighter.
01:20:31
I think you mentioned that before too.
01:20:32
Him as midnighter would be fun. Yeah.
01:20:34
Or. If he's not Batman, he could be
01:20:36
Owl man. There you go.
01:20:37
Owl Man, He could be Owl Man. Oh, there you go.
01:20:39
What if they do Crisis? And he's Thomas Wayne.
01:20:42
That would be interesting. He ends up being the Thomas
01:20:44
Wayne Batman that would be. Really cool.
01:20:45
I don't. Want him though, is that you
01:20:47
know who I want? I want.
01:20:48
Jeffrey Dean Morgan Jeffrey Dean Morgan needs to be the Thomas
01:20:51
Wayne Batman. He.
01:20:52
He. Originally, he originally signed
01:20:54
on to to Zack Snyder's universe because eventually he was
01:20:58
supposed to be that version of Batman.
01:20:59
Oh, that's so cool. Yeah, we need him.
01:21:01
Yeah. Earmuffs.
01:21:02
James Gunn. Earmuffs still still cast him.
01:21:05
Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Thomas Wayne in.
01:21:08
In in Infinity Crisis would be dope.
01:21:11
Oh so cool. Flashpoint Batman.
01:21:13
All right, let's move. On we've been stuck on this for
01:21:16
far too long All right well ladies and gentlemen gonna get
01:21:19
into the next. Big part here guys.
01:21:22
The 77th Emmy Awards just happened this over this weekend
01:21:27
and boy was it a doozy. So let's let's start off here
01:21:29
guys. Let's talk winners, right?
01:21:32
Streamers took home a lot of weird statues holding a hollow
01:21:35
orb. The Pit on HBO took home out
01:21:38
outstanding drama series, surprising many who expected
01:21:41
Severance to dominate the studio on Apple TV Plus, which.
01:21:44
If you have not watched the studio guys, it is time to watch
01:21:47
it. It is a great show.
01:21:48
I'm sure. I'm pretty sure all of us have
01:21:50
watched it. It's swept the comedy
01:21:52
categories, with Seth Rogen winning for his first for his
01:21:54
role as Matt Remick and and Evan Goldberg snagging Outstanding
01:21:58
Directing. And then Adolescence on Netflix
01:22:00
made waves in a limited series category, with 15 year old Owen
01:22:04
Cooper becoming the youngest male Emmy winner ever.
01:22:07
That's awesome. Yeah, that's great.
01:22:09
You know what's nice about about?
01:22:10
The Emmys coming out and streamers doing so well it it
01:22:14
gives me a chance to go back and watch a bunch of shows that I
01:22:17
thought about watching but I just didn't get into.
01:22:19
But now that they've been like legitimized, like The Pit, like
01:22:22
I know that was out on HBO but I never dove into it.
01:22:24
But I have watched The Studio and Adolescence.
01:22:27
I'm like, oh, OK, legitimate. Let me go watch this show, you
01:22:30
know? So yeah, now I got a list of
01:22:32
things to watch on top of the list of things that Jen keeps
01:22:35
suggesting that we need to go watch too.
01:22:37
Because, well, I don't think either of us have started
01:22:40
watching. Was it?
01:22:41
What's the robot show that you watch that you watch Murder Bot?
01:22:43
Murder What? Come on.
01:22:44
I watch Murder Bot. Are you kidding me?
01:22:46
I need to watch. That still you do.
01:22:47
I watch that from. I I recently watched.
01:22:51
It I. Recently watched the trailer and
01:22:52
I. Was like even more hyped on it
01:22:54
than than from when you were talking about it, because I was
01:22:56
already hyped on it because I was like, this sounds like a
01:22:57
great show. And then I finally watched the
01:22:59
trailer. I was like, no, I need to watch
01:23:00
this. This looks fucking great.
01:23:01
Yeah, don't. Don't spongle my game, bro.
01:23:04
Hey, you know. What you're squatching.
01:23:06
The spongle. OK, you've been.
01:23:07
Squatching the spongle? Yeah, that's right.
01:23:09
In a good way. Are we all punk rock?
01:23:11
No. Yeah, we're super.
01:23:12
Fucking punk rock. Host Nate.
01:23:15
Bargatzi. Bargat Bargatzi Nate Bargatzi
01:23:20
Open with the sketch as Spylo T Farnsworth, riffing on the
01:23:24
invention of streaming as a new way for these companies to lose
01:23:28
money. Ray Romano and Brad Garrett
01:23:30
Reunited Reunited for an Everybody Loves Raymond Bitt
01:23:34
joking about their Emmy relevance.
01:23:36
Next time I'm on the Emmys, it'll be in memoriam.
01:23:39
Garrett whipped and Hannah Eden Einbinder Einbinder.
01:23:44
I love that name. Winning for Hacks joked.
01:23:46
I was committed to the narrative that losing was cooler, but this
01:23:49
is also punk rock. I watched the first season of
01:23:53
that that show's. Pretty funny, yeah.
01:23:55
I don't I I really cannot stand Jean Smart.
01:23:58
Really. Yeah.
01:23:58
I don't like her. I don't know what it is about
01:24:00
her, but I just, I don't like her acting styles.
01:24:03
The only time I've really kind of liked her was when she was in
01:24:06
Watchmen, the HBO Watchmen series.
01:24:08
Oh, yeah, yeah. I I, I, you know what's funny is
01:24:10
I watched the 1st. Episode and what got me into it
01:24:13
was when I saw Caitlin Nelson show up, I was like, oh fucking
01:24:16
sweet DS in this. I'm watching it.
01:24:17
Oh yeah, I probably. That probably would.
01:24:19
Yeah. I hear it's really good though.
01:24:20
So maybe I will. That's all on Max.
01:24:23
Is that on Max? That's on Max, yeah.
01:24:25
Max doing it, doing a thing, all right, all right, all right.
01:24:28
We are in our fields era. For this next part, Stephen
01:24:32
Colbert honored his long time assistant Amy Cole, who passed
01:24:36
away in 2024. She should be here tonight, he
01:24:39
said. The In Memoriam segment led by
01:24:41
Phylicia Rashad paid tribute to Malcolm, Jamal Warner, Ozzy
01:24:45
Osbourne, David Lynch and Quincy Jones, among others.
01:24:49
Tramel Tillman from Severance made history as the first Black
01:24:52
man to win best supporting actor in a drama series, dedicating
01:24:56
his award to his mother with the line.
01:24:58
For the love of God, don't embarrass me in public.
01:25:04
You guys hear the controversy? That's happening.
01:25:07
Hulk Hogan's widow was super pissed that he wasn't mentioned
01:25:11
in in In Memoriam. Well, yeah, I can understand
01:25:14
that. I mean, he's it was on.
01:25:15
TV for he was. On TV for yeah, for for a long
01:25:18
time, but you know, just. Because she didn't he didn't get
01:25:21
mentioned. She was like really mad about it
01:25:23
all to be honest. I agree.
01:25:24
I agree. Like think about the.
01:25:26
Think about the ratings he brought in in in the various
01:25:29
eras of wrestling. You know, people were tuning in
01:25:32
to watch him. I mean, as a kid when I when I
01:25:35
watched wrestling, I was. I was into Hulk Hogan until I
01:25:39
really started getting into wrestling.
01:25:40
It was more like the, the superhero kind of persona that
01:25:43
he put on that made me kind of like Hulk Hogan.
01:25:46
And then then I got into like actually got into wrestling and
01:25:50
Bret Hart was my actual hero. So.
01:25:51
But I but I mean, like, you know, yeah.
01:25:53
And I mean, there's a lot of people to to to bring in.
01:25:57
I think that just because he hasn't been more, he hasn't been
01:26:02
like recent relevant when it comes to TV.
01:26:05
I think that's that's kind of where like, you know, they
01:26:07
probably didn't like really think about him at all.
01:26:09
It's an in memoriam category. Yeah, you know, it's like.
01:26:13
They're people that were part of TV.
01:26:15
They should get honored. No, I got you.
01:26:17
I get the argument there. I agree.
01:26:19
Did you did? Anybody watch the Emmys?
01:26:21
Does anything stand? Out to you like no, I did not
01:26:24
watch the Emmy like the like I watched the studio and I.
01:26:27
Loved it. I'm so happy it won it.
01:26:28
Made me legitimate legitimize because like, I told some of my
01:26:31
friends about it and they're like, yeah, I thought it was OK.
01:26:34
We didn't finish it. I'm like, are you kidding me?
01:26:35
That was a great show. How did you not want to finish
01:26:38
it? But now I can go back and be
01:26:40
like, hey, the Emmys agree with me and you're wrong.
01:26:44
Let me see the statue that holds up the hollow.
01:26:48
Oil. Yes, my spongle is better than
01:26:50

show you're watching right now from 6:30 to 8:30 Thursdays, the
01:39:37
build 6 to 8. Now this week's guess is another
01:39:40
indie comic artist or our indie comic creator.
01:39:44
The person we have on is Daniel Jonathan Hank and the book that
01:39:49
we're going to be talking about here.
01:39:51
Let me pull it up for you guys. Something interesting.
01:39:54
I remember that. That's a really cool title.
01:39:58
Yeah, down highways in the. Dark be demon driven that's.
01:40:01
Not what I would think that something interesting would be
01:40:03
about, but OK. I believe it's a horror comic
01:40:07
and and you. Know it's going to be again it's
01:40:10
it's it's it'll be a fun conversation especially with me
01:40:13
and graveyard at the helm so come and hang out with us on
01:40:15
Thursday from 6:00 to 8:00 where I'm going to be continued.
01:40:18
I believe you are correct. Yeah, because at work I'm going.
01:40:22
To continue building the the. Jaws Kit while we have a
01:40:26
conversation with an indie comic creator.
01:40:29
And then, of course, on Fridays. The buzzer.
01:40:31
We're knowing the answer is optional, but laughing at the
01:40:34
wrong one is mandatory. Now, this week, I won't be on
01:40:38
the buzzer. Are you guys still going to do
01:40:39
the buzzer without me? Pretty sure.
01:40:41
Because. Great.
01:40:41
God's been prepared. Yeah.
01:40:42
So we're going to be driving. Of course we're going to do it
01:40:44
without you. What?
01:40:45
I mean, you don't have to be on. Every show.
01:40:47
I know, right? So we're going to be driving up
01:40:50
to Medford. Oregon, I think you're muted,
01:40:52
James, while we're. Doing the show or?
01:40:56
Driving up to the Medford show, Jen and graveyard will be at the
01:41:00
helm and they're going to be doing some some buzzer.
01:41:03
So guys, make sure you're there. I've got to change the time on
01:41:06
here, but we moved it from 6:30 to 6:30 to 8:30.
01:41:09
No, it's 630 your time, 830 our. Time 6:30 to 8:30.
01:41:14
As in two hours for the show. Yeah.
01:41:16
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 6:30 to 8:30. Yeah.
01:41:19
Is that Pacific? Daylight Time or Pacific?
01:41:22
Standard Time, Pacific Daylight Time, it's well, we're in
01:41:25
Pacific Daylight. Time currently and if you were.
01:41:28
In Arizona, which does not touch the Pacific Ocean, it.
01:41:31
Would be daylight No I don't nobody Arizona doesn't change
01:41:34
their time they they stay there and I think.
01:41:37
They're in mountain time right now, and then when standard goes
01:41:41
back, then they'll be in Pacific Standard Time.
01:41:43
The standard is Pacific Time and that would make it so much.
01:41:47
Easier for everybody else if we just followed Pacific.
01:41:49
That's that's why, that's why I put Pacific Standard Time,
01:41:52
because that is the standard, yes.
01:41:54
I believe we got derailed by this.
01:41:55
Okay, so let's keep. Going.
01:41:57
Let's move it along, guys. All right, well, let's get this
01:42:00

My channel to Shadu's channel that Shadu has just, he just did
01:42:32
his video for it. And yeah, so he's actually
01:42:37
splitting his channel into three channels and classified fits in
01:42:41
better with one of those, one of those channels.
01:42:45
So we're going to move it over there.
