Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome back to Travis told you I'm your
host, Travis Snell. Yes I'm here. You know, I don't really
impromptu. I just think like I don't announce. I'm really ahead of time.
They're just gonna come. I guess I did kind of announce this one
right because they're doing stuff. But uh, yeah, No, we're gonna
be doing some good old talking about the Academy Awards. We're gonna talk.
I'm gonna talk at least about Doom because I just saw it. God,
it's already just been Monday now, it just feels it feels like that was
ages ago. But I saw this week also wasn't on the review, so
big thing to people will talk about that in a little bit. You're gonna
do a little wrestling catch up. Yeah, it's just a bunch of stuff.
So, as I've said before, I think next week, as or
I think this week, we're gonna do our Minytown hell. Because what we
did is we do our survey every year and then when we get together we
read something results go things so that we not agree with they're disagreebos go Okay,
that's something that we thought as well that's something like, okay, we
haven't thought about that. Let's see see what the outcry is for certain things.
So we're gonna have like a mini one. I don't think there's too
many like changes abroad, but I gotta change out with my camera. There's
like a battery sticking out. I don't like that, get budging the whole
time. But yeah, so look out for that. That'll be fun.
Get some updates on the shows and everything. I will announce a new show
here in a second up top, even though it doesn't make sense. I'll
reiterate it with the town hall. But it has something more do with me
and stuff, So that's why I don't even take time away from them.
But yeah, the next two weeks are gonna be really fun. We got
X Men coming out, tons of X Men cast and everything. We're having
a good time. I like we're doing fan cast, we did that Xcellent
Legends one, lots of good stuff X Men related in X ninety seven.
That's gonna be fun. Ghostbusters about to be out out cast Outlast Trials.
That's not happening this week, but it's hapening a couple of weeks. Let's
see. Yes, good evening, Chris Evans, it's good to see you,
sir. Hope you had a good night there. Let's see Rock saying
can you feel the mana on his Instagram promos. That's stuck in my head.
I can't stop saying that. I get what you mean, just what
he said and can you feel the man? Like that? Rock's great,
you know, he's great at that inflections. It was so weird bringing it
into it. But man, seeing the Rock and John Cena at the Oscars
for something separate, it's not like, oh, it's like for Iron Claw.
Wouldn't it be like if it gotten for Best Picture? Wouldn't it be
great if they introduced the film or some shit. No, it's just they
happened to be there. And good for John Cena. Man, he whatever
you think about the skit like he nailed it. And that's like going to
be aside from the winds. If you're talking about moments, that's probably gonna
Okay, the Ken, I'm just ken, that is the moment. It's
just you know, agreed. But then after that, I feel like John
Cia might take the cake. He did that really well. And just seeing
them together, the show them shaking hands. Man, we've come a long
way from twenty twelve, fucking John Cena calling the Rock out unscripted, not
supposed to a certain way, tell about his notes and how the Rock piss.
I remember that, man, because I'll say I was going to wrestle
any of that time, and it's in the clip, but I remember we're
watching it live and Sina said that thing, and the Rock cocked his head
and that's it was like, oh, they're shooting as not good and you
can go back to the Rock and John Johnson for a while legitimly did not
care for one another. I think more just one sided. But yeah,
we're in touble the oscars in a second. But yeah, can you feel
a mana this week? Adrenochrome, it is about to be out. I'm
to Moro, going to do the final ex but I hope to be the
final export. I'm sure I'll do it. Watch like, oh, this
is a fucking air but uh no, I think it's all. It is
all good to go. But I mean, like in the sense of export,
hopefully there's no fucking issues. I exported a version that's almost identical.
There's just a few sound effects I had to add and everything that just like
whether weren't crisp or just literally needed. Like there's like a whistle on the
film. It's like, okay, I kept putting that off and all I
had to do tonight is just sit down, record a whistle and that's it,
right, So there is a there is a thing tested in what's gonna
happen. We'll talk about throughout the week, but yeah, that's coming out
Friday. It's gonna drop Friday at midnight, and you're gonna have all the
way till you know, Monday, Pst eleven fifty nine, and then it's
gonna be locked away for at least a year, maybe longer because like I
said before, I keep iterating this because I feel like, oh what,
like it's out, it's like it, but then it's not like I know,
it sounds like confusing, but it's just as we've said before, we're
just doing this because legitimately, each and every one of you are the reason
this film happened. You know, your support, whether it's on Patreon especially
or listen to podcast, pay for the things like the camera and like,
uh like a premiere pro for me to edit like this is because of you
guys. So I don't know if it's gonna be like that every time.
We're gonna see how this goes with the first one, but at least with
this film, we want everyone that wants to see it. If you don't
care, if you're like, hey, I just listen to your podcast,
or like I'll catch it down the line, it'll be available. But if
you're curious that we would very much like the support. I think it's just
gonna be like five bucks USD something like that. Maybe they'll be maybe a
six dollar. I gotta find out, like how it works Canadian to Americans,
so I haven't announced the price because I have to wait to the full
upload it. It's not based on that. I just have to find out
like conversion from American and Canada and then what Patreon cuts. But yeah,
that's what Patreon's gonna do, or it's gonna be on Patreon, it's gonna
be a rental and uh yeah, we're really excited. I'm excited just to
have it kind of out and done and off my back because it's I did
this as a mistake, not the movie, but the date when we announced
January and then also we did March, and it was fine because I hit
it but in the future, I'll never announce a date until it's like done
done, because I really thought I was gonna be done January. I told
the story of many things gone the way, and that's why it's like,
well, I couldn't just say no date. I had to say at least
Q one because I felt bad. So in the future, I'll never put
a date on until we're completely done. So but yeah, it's out this
Friday. I hope everyone enjoys it. There's gonna be like an anonymous survey
thing, so we want your honest opinion. I'm not gonna look at them
at all till like after until like because the film's done, so it's not
gonna change. They're gonna come in and I'm gonna wait till like it's the
Friday to the Monday. Give a buffer because I'm sure there'll be some negative
stuff there and then I can't take negative stuff. But I just want to
go like all in one, absorb it. But yeah, we want like
the actual things obviously, like if it's stuff about budgetary stuff, put that
in there, please, But there's only so much we can do right,
whether it's the camera the like audio thing is actually not too bad. But
like, if there's anything in particular, it's like, well, this is
what we what we got, It's like a bunch of hundred one thousand bucks,
right, Like the most expensive stuff is the camera of the gear.
But yeah, we want honest though. Its just even in like little things.
You know, if you think it's great, that's fantastic. But whatever
it may be, it always helps cause either I could see him be like,
oh, in the future, I would explain why I did this,
or I could look go, oh, I didn't see it this way.
You know, that's happened already when I show people that and go, hey,
what about this way? Oh yeah, that that might be a bit
better. And there's somes I did that went uh maybe not like I still
like to prefer this way and everything, but yeah, I wanted to do
that because we're we're back in eight We're supposed to film some more in March,
but I think in April we're gonna film because March is just really really
busy right now. But yeah, we're working on our third film right now.
That sounds kind of bold to do that, but again, as we've
said before, we filmed two back to back because before Tayor's gonna have his
baby, so it's like, well let's have them all. It's there,
so as we go into the third one, we'll take all the critiques,
but it'll be anonymous. So say whatever, if you think it's absolute shit
and it's trash, anything I shoul can get directed again. I guess you
can tell me that, but I'm a GluN for punishment, so I'll probably
just keep going, you know, and especially nice last to night with the
Oscar so inspiring some people. I'm not saying to win an Oscar. I'm
just saying like it's it's one of those nights where it's like and that's where
for me to start off lots of stuff. Like I said Jenna rome O
this Friday, please support we'd appreciate anything. If you can't pay for it,
don't want to just send a retweet it out there. We're gonna be
you know, very likely we're gonna go to festivals, but very likely we
will be releasing this thing this time and the full version all by ourselves,
will be our own distributor. So we are an independent podcasting and film production
company now, so we were you know, we're doing it all ourselves so
anything helps and literally what we make off this, we'll go into the next
few films, like whether it is getting into festivals or budgetary things. Right,
just like tonight the guys said photographer Uny Won for Oppenheimer's like, yeah,
you know, film's great, but you really need to be using film.
And I saw people be like, yeah, fuck everybody, like you
need to be used film. It's like, yeah, I'd like to,
but like it can be quite costly at times, right, but that's why
oscars. Let's start with the oscars. Actually, no, quickly, what
I'm going to say is I saw s pubs and the chat there. I'm
going to talk about wrestling at the end, and I will announce this on
the town hall. But there is this might be the last TRUST told you
with a wrestling segment, because I am going to do a monthly wrestling show
with there's you meaning drum roll. I probably can't even here. It is
that drummer that just sounds like they're clapping Oppenheimer and they're like the Germans,
right, we should use it on them, and they're like, yeah,
no, we're gonna do it monthly. We're gonna I only even told them
this but I'm just I've always had this working title. I don't have a
logo for it yet, so I need to talk to Taylor. But we're
starting. I'm starting with a few fellows. The gimmick. The gimmick is
going to be a monthly wrestling show. Got to get the g And I
just like the word gimmick. I've always been and use it in real life
all the time of like oh that look at that person's gimmick. But it's
just like it's not even so about wrestling, just like real life scenarios.
Right, But Sam, let's go, Yeah, So what's gonna happen though?
Is it's going to just be monthly four Now, I am very busy
with the podcasting, with life and with the with the filming, because that's
like another addendum that's just like it's a great thing to do, but it
takes a lot of time. This is because legitimately we did the survey and
the results are like fifty to fifty. It is either the I have no
interest, I'm not gonna listen at all, or just oh like like wrestling
spat like I'd like to get in wrestling, but I don't know if I
could like it's fifty to fifty of no interests, not gonna happen, or
you should really do it. Because I had that the last time. That's
where about a year ago, I think, so a year and a half
goo whenever I was going to do with David and someone else and then oh,
there you go. First call. This is David. David. If
you've listened to a Marble Alliance, he's good friends of Brent. They work
together, but he's on our survisitories watch along. Me and him have gone
to know each other past couple of years because it's like Brad's like, oh,
he's a wrestling guy like you, and then we talk and then we
talk a lot, and David's just a really good guy. I think he's
gonna be a good barometer and for other reason who the third host is gonna
be. But we're gonna do it for a nup because like I said,
it was no interest at all, or you should really fucking do And that
was a couple of years ago. There was people that when I did Tres
told you, it's like, hey, I like that, I like the
wrestling. You should do a full wrestling show. I can't like consciously be
like I'm gonna do this weekly even bi weekly, right, So what's gonna
happen is myself, David and mister can you feel the man at S Bob's
is gonna be in there? You know my as Emily said, you know
my son, I'll never have you know, more choreographed combat content never hurts.
Yeah, So that's what happens to me, David S Pubs. I
like being three because if we do ever decide to grow it, because I
don't know, but the S Pubs and David have we talk in our discord
and they've done one thing together. We got I'm not saying that our kind
of get lom and I'm saying what the chemistry is like everything like that.
If there's every situation where my schedule opens up and we could go bi weekly
weekly even with something like maybe down the road, if thinks that and these
are not promises because I don't talk to haven't talk to them yet, but
if it's like a situation where like it was weekly and S Pubs and David
were hosting, and I can only be bi weekly or a month, this
is just like the tester of it We're gonna do because at the end of
the day. If it's just a month, then it's just us talking wrestling,
and me and David have always talked wrestling, and then S pubs.
It's great because that's been the other thing in the discord. Everyone's like a
fan of seeing his journey, right, It's like, it's cool because that's
where it is, where me and David are both like long term vets.
And then you got S pubs. And I remember talking about with Emily because
sbubs likes Grayson Walls Finisher and I was like, I think this is fucking
so stupid, and she's like, that's why you guys, that'd be a
good podcasting scenario, right, Like yeah, like we have similar opinions but
very different likes, and David could be a good middleman there. So we're
gonna do month. We're doing a draft, which is funny. S pubs
that hit me up. He's like, oh, you should do this,
we should do this. Even before S pubs, you hit me up me
My sister and Emily used to do that. But I always intended if I
had a wrestling podcast, there's always gonna be a draft. So when you
hit me up, it's like, okay, it's kind of FAF, so
that's gonna happen. We're gonna do it every month. I think the first
episode's gonna be it's like March twenty fourth, we're recording. It's gonna be
four Mania, and we're gonna do a draft. We're gonna do our predictions,
and then we'll probably do one kind of right after many I think we're
gonna do. My hope is if I talk to guys like Saturday Sunday and
the raw after then maybe the Tuesday do me like do our podcast so we
have all of it because they're on Ashuran. So I don't want to be
like, hey, you want to do our podcast first second wrestling podcast like
twelve am on a Sunday. No, I'm let's let's have it at different
times. Plus, like, as much as I would like to be there
live with everybody else, that is the thing that there's ten thousand wrestling podcasts
live that moment. So it's like, okay, let everyone go to their
usual spots and then maybe a couple days after some recovery, we do it
then and it's just an exciting time. So that's gonna be happening starting next
month. The gimmick myself, David Spup's gonna be by monthly or not by
monthly monthly, And that's where I told them both, like, either it's
just us fun hanging out having a good time, waking about wrestling. Let's
sit down for an hour and a half two hours, have a good time,
and we'll see how it goes and if it decide if there's want for
or need for it, maybe it'll grow. But as of right now,
just do a month hanging out catching up. So I will talk wrestling at
the end, but that's where to announce with Trevs told you that's going to
be monthly over there, so kind of the way I think it's working right
now. If my schedule was the via Travis told you news or topic centric
episode and then the wrestling one. So okay, let's get into the oscars.
I'm sorry if you're not wrestling him, but I want to put that
out there in case someone is and they don't get to an episode. But
the oscars. See here we're talking about John seeing everything. I thought overall,
it was a good show for the winners. I'm happy with them all.
There's I feel like the past few years because we've got Oppenheimer, everything
everywhere at once. There was a parasite because what was the two thousand.
I just feel like, because for a while, let's see Oscars for twenty
twenty one. For me if because it was green Book before? Oh yeah,
no Madland? Yeah me, how I felt with the Oscars before the
Great News GenZ and the Chat perfect The man is flowing, the man is
flowing. But how for me? I guess Oscars it always felt like it
was one for them, one for us. It was like, we're gonna
go with the weird. We're gonna go with something like green Book, which
I still like, but green Book that everyone hated and was like it's two
Oscar bait. And then the next year one eighty gold parasite, and then
it's like, Okay, now we're gonna go to no Medland and then oh
but everything ever won't. It's like it felt like it was that board.
Now I feel like we're going a couple of years in a row where it's
like it's subjective, right, but it just feels like the fan choice,
the people's choice is getting it for the most part, so the winners,
I have no issue. No mad Land didn't hit for me. At all.
Chris Evans apps of fucking lutely man. I've said this before, Chloe
Shoo, very talented filmmaker. She's fucking Oscar in it right, great,
you know, like could I can't never call any of her films bad her
style for me with Eternals, Chris, did you like Eternals or I don't
know if we were talking about it, let me know, but like for
me Eternals, no, Madland, I'm just not a fan of her style.
I know there are people that are, but I watched it and I
was just so underwhelmed that you did not didn't get it. Not in the
sense of don't understand that we just didn't get like winning all these awards and
France Ick dorn't win these awards. It's just like, that's what's okay.
That feels like the old school type of Oscar pick right, that's the movie
that no one sees. And that's not an addendum, right, I'm not
saying everyone has to see it to be a winner, no, because that's
that's bs right, even though since gosh someone oh Man s bubs guy in
the chair. If you have this for Oppenheimer, can you look up or
anybody if you know the answer off the top of your head, what is
the highest grossing Oscar winner picture? Because Afatar I didn't win Best Picture and
that was whatever? How many billion? Right, Appenheimer's nine fifty. I
don't think I've seen anybody talk about that yet. Of the biggest gross maybe
there's one I'm missing in particular, but either way, the winners for me,
I was a fan of them all. Will go through them a little
bit here in a second. The show overall, I think it was actually
one of the better oscars. Kim Al as a host, you know what
you're gonna get. I feel like he it's tough because I felt like he's
a safe choice. I'm gonna laugh a couple of times and like, you
know, it's nothing crazy, but it at least get the job done.
It pretty much was that. But as somebody, because I think people have
like very turned on kim on I don't know really why. I think that
just happens almost all late night comedians unless you're con O'Briant right says highest grossing
since Lord of the Rings. Ah, yes, that makes perfect sense,
Like yes, but if that makes sense, returning the King billion dollars.
Okay. I was like, I know there's something in there, so that
that's a good company to be in, right, Chris Evan's answered the question.
I personally asked him, so you're getting his answer. I did,
didn't. I did like eternals, but didn't love it. I'm kind of
the same page that I know she's town. I haven't seen anything that may
say, oh, she directed it us yet Yeah, that's where I am.
You know, what are your thoughts on Johnson being naked oscars? I
gave him a little bit of the beginning Hunter, but I thought it was
great, fantastic skit there or sketch, whatever you want to call it,
really ballsy, not mean the pun intended. But and again like he's been,
he's like underdressed alat in his career. But still like that was He's
a big envelope. But still that was that was And I know they probably
got a cocksaw on him and everything, but still like that was one thing
wrong having like a Janet Jackson moment, but it was the moment of the
night. Johnson is killing it. I'll talk about Geek first. Ricky Ston
Niki not a great not a great movie, but John Cena makes that almost
passable for me. He's working his ass off, and this is exactly what
he should be doing. The comedy stuff. This is where it is,
you know, the same way that what is It? Batista is meant to
be a serious actor Rock, I think is meant to be like the rock
Hollywood guy. But we'll see. I hope whatever, smashing, whatever it
is works out for him. Sina. When he was in certain roles that
were dramatic, it just wasn't working. He can have dramatic beats like a
peacemaker, right, but overall the characters kind of goofy. I think that's
where he's in his wheelhouse, which is so funny because in WW the Big
Knock against was he's so annoying because he thinks he's so fun you know,
like he was always making kids jokes and stuff. But I thought it was
great, great segment, very funny. I was with Emily. I thought
for sure Barry Keegan was gonna came out because he's his whole gimmick is that
he's naked nowadays, so I thought, oh, it's gonna be him,
and then it wasn't. So But overall, kim O for me, that
was the thing where it's like he he was weaker than usual. For me,
it felt like a lot of dad jokes, and he makes those,
but this felt like an abundance and it just felt like very mad jokes.
It just it was. Now here's saying it was not as bad joy Koy
as the Golden Globes. So that's fine, you know, like that's that's
okay. I thinks he's done many times. You know, it's a host
and everything. But yeah, I think this is just the way the Auscars
are gonna do it. I think they just want to play it safe.
I think days are the Gone are like a really great host. I'm just
saying Kimo can't do that. It's just he didn't this time. I guess.
I think he did exactly what they want him to do, right,
But I used to watch him all the time late. I liked him.
I like Found, even though now it sounds like Seve Found sometimes may kind
of like asshole or something. I don't know that's what people said, like
people turned on him. I just don't have cable, so I don't watch
those shows as much if any. And Conan has always been my guy,
right, so yeah, I Colbert Stewart. Oh God, who's hosting right
now? Seth Meyers, Yeah, he's fine. Who's hosting the David Letterman
slot? Now? Oh it's Colbert. Fuck Just so overall, yeah,
Kim was fine. I thought the segments for the most part, especially the
back half, was really good. I really enjoy two things. One,
I think it's smart for them to do a lot of the double categories with
the presenters, get two people out there and have them do adapted and original.
I know they've been doing that the past couple of years, but I
just feel like they were making effort to do that more so. And the
early start time I think that was good. I don't know what that's gonna
do for rating wise, maybe help it a little bit, but the early
start time I liked that. And the good thing was where usually it's from
my time five to eight, so about three hours, right, this was
four to seven thirty, so about three and a half hours. It was
good because there's one point Lily Kim was like, oh, we have a
minute. And even at the end it felt like Emma thomas Mader's speech,
Charles Robt made a speech, and it it was just quiet. They didn't
planning music people. The Oppenheimer casts were just walking around talking to each other.
Usually it's the music's already playing, we gotta go, but they have
like four minutes and they're killing it. Jimmy Kimll's promoting stuff. I like
that. I think they should just go the full mounting and go to four
hours because I think for the most part, because here's the thing, right,
people will say, oh with the because that best picture or the best
box office world whatever they tried a couple of years ago. It didn't work
out, right, People say, oh, more of the films people get
gnaw or if more of the nominated films are people are the ones people watch?
English are the ones people watch more people tune in. I don't think
that is the case, because you have and we'll see this year, right,
and maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. The bump is if it's
about the same, that prices my theory. Right, you have Barbie Oppenheimer,
the two biggest movies the year. Everyone saw those movies. If there's
no big bump or it's about the same, you pretty much just have your
oscars. You had the people that like the dresses, they like the celebrities
they like the award shows like the Cinema Legacy or all of it. Right,
And that's where I was meaning to start here. And the third is
somehow King's speech, what the King's speech made some bank? I guess,
all right, good for king speech. Here's my thing. And this is
always, just as I've said before, I'm on the Twitter the least amount
as possible. Now I've sometimes many times I want to. I've thought about
deleting the account, but I never can. With geek first, or especially
with Drena Crawl. It's like with us being a small podcast and a small
like now film production company. He just can't do that. Now you gotta
spread out there, you gotta go. So that's why I take a longer
breaks. I just have my notifications on for certain things and then usually about
ones a day. Usually if it's like if I'm on a break or something
i'm cooking, I'm killing time, That's what I'll scroll through, say,
oh, hey, what's going on? See what a couple of my mutuals
thinks, See what's going on? Oscars and like big events. Definitely tonight
I was on more and more active fun interacting everything like that. But what
I get and I'm not singling people out. If anyone listens, you know
who you are. And this is not a dentdum. I'm just saying,
just accept it. My timeline is always filled with people, come oscar nominations
of whatever gets nominated, whatever it does in the controversies. All here is
but who cares about the Oscars? And I've talked those many times. I'm
not gonna go over it, but who cares about the Oscars? And then
I see those same people and I have no problem calling them, and I've
been on peoples shows and call them out before. It's the same people like
that bug me and say, oh this is a snub. Did you watch
all the people in this category? No? I just saw the two and
like, well, it's not a stub to you, you know, fucking
see it. What if you watch some like it'd be like me watching The
Holdovers, right, or not watching the Holdovers and it winning being like,
oh well whatever. Appenheimer was snubbed. He was snubbed. Do you watch
Holdovers? Well know? And the reason I say is because I was not
excited for The Holdovers. Watch the Holdovers. I fucking love that movie.
It's in my top ten give it a perfect score. That's a Christmas movie
for life, right, So that's why you can't judge until That's why I
never said Margot rog was Snubb because I never saw Niad. I was really
bad on my Oscars this year. I never saw Nyada. I never saw
I was Sandra Holer. I think she got nominated well too, for Zon
of Intro or like Anatomy of Fall, which I want to I want to
get those both. I just haven't been a time to sit down watch a
subtitled movie right now, because I you really need to focus on that,
right. So that's why the people saying that snub no, the people that
complain with oscars and an Oscar night, I see these same fucking people tweeting
about it. I don't know auscin could just be for engagement, could just
be because they're lying. All you gotta say is what everyone else says.
We love the as film and that's why luckily we had the GV Oscar pool.
I love the Oscars, but the Oscars are not the be all end
all. I love why because at the beginning it's a thing of celebrating film,
right, does get a little pretentious? Sure, are there some speeches
where are like, ugh, I don't know if I would have said it
that way, because this feels like a little a little not I won't say
air again, but close to especially when you win. When you win,
you want to be humble, you know. And there's a couple speeches tonight
where it's like, oh yeah, it's like okay, but at the day
it doesn't really matter, no, you know, like it's why my perfect
example is it's great for Hollywood, for people's careers. Saying that on myself
when we talk about No One, he should want many moons, many many
moons ago probably several times, right, twenty ten or twenty eleven, twenty
nine or two thousand and nine. But what I love it is just a
general celebration of film. Seeing people behind the scenes, uh you know,
just reactions, people hugging, applause for their fellow co workers, their colleagues,
right, and appreciating the craft. No One, who's just the fucking
king said the best way that film is one hundred just under one hundred years
of an art form. Imagine when you think about painting, you know,
painting other art forms under a hundred years, and how much more you could
do with it. It's like, man, that's exactly right. That's why
for me, it's about the celebration of film and on the lead up,
just like those other films I haven't seen yet, it's about watching stuff cause
people like, oh, I'm not gonna watch this, But it's just like
there's so many movies that, like even a Oppenheimer I won Best Picture,
and it shows that, Okay, there's still movies out there that you're gonna
love, that might or enjoy that win these things. Right. I think
some people have a very pessimistic like because it's like rich people and it's actors
and they're all praising each other. But it's like it's their night. And
if you don't like it, don't watch it. That's my whole thing.
If you don't like it, don't watch it, don't tweet about it.
And if you do, just accept it. You can say, hey,
it's not the biggest thing in the world, but I check it out.
Because if you say you don't care and you watch it or you tweet about
you care. If you say you don't care, well Ron Tomatos gonna complain
about it. You care, you know. So that's always my biggest thing.
It's every year. It's like my God, like just just a minute,
just say yeah, I like watching the Oscars. Is the bi land
All, No, because it doesn't always matter, you know why it's not
the biland All. As I've said before, we'll start with Oppenheimer, Christopher
Owen and I had two of these for this Oscar season that I should I
think I will pretty much trast. I didn't think, I said, trast
told you, but like the man I talked about where they were, trash
told you. Okay, Oppenheimer one Best Director, Best Picture, Best Actor,
Best Supporting Actor. Uh, And I don't think Ember one screenplay.
I think I was wrong on one of their Yeah, adapted screenplay didn't win,
but won a bunch of one, four or five. Right, So
for me, I think he'sould one years ago because you know, no offense
to the cast the crew of that film, but no one talks about some
dog millionaire, you know. And that's where it is a situation where it
won Best Picture, lots of people loved it, liked it, but did
it really change anything with cinema or the Oscars. No? And I'm saying
a film has to do that, right, But that's what I'm saying,
as far as how I can enjoy it is this is great. But also
if the film I think deserves to win doesn't win, if it had an
impact or was a great film, still makes a great film. Just because
fucking Tarantino hasn't won Best Oscar director doesn't make any of his films less important
to the history of cinema, Right, So I think that's why people they
take it as like, oh, if this wins, this is the best,
and these things don't matter. And some millionaires also top five highest gross
and well, there you go. Dark Knight should have won. I would
have been the highest gross thing. I don't know his Dark Knight bigger.
I supposed to check it is that bigger than one of the Rings? But
anyways, just watch it and admit you like watching it. You know,
that's as simple as that. So let's take an ad break. I'm gonna
take a drink of water, and we'll be back and actually break down the
winners. All right, we're back, let's talk about these winners. We
talk about Well, I just brought Poppenheimer. Yeah, I just thought like
I was somebody that was like not a doubter. I thought, okay,
he's going for that Oscar. But like the box office top about all before,
right, but once I saw the film, to me, it was
undeniable. We're gonna talk about Dune either way. My thoughts, I don't
think Dune would have been blocking him. I've seen that so much, like,
well, thank god he maybe it would have been a hotter race.
But the Academy of Sci Fi, We're lucky we got that first Dune nomination.
I just feel like, no one feels like it's old, right.
It feels very much like speaking of Returned the King when that one, there
was a sentiment of like, this is winning for all the trilogy, right,
and that's what Nolan's like. It's like, of course, for this
individual film, it's great. I personally think it's the best film of last
year, but it just does feel like an overall like here it is,
right, and you never know how it goes. You gonna be like Killy
Murphy nominated for the first time ever, be all these years and go okay,
lother rings still wild, been high in the dark night, I can't
couldn't know and no, and I guess he was a nominated, but just
always in the conversation, right, and I'm of course people say am bias
because I love Batman, but there's enough people that tell about how great that
film is. I think truth that proves the track record of he should have
won for that. He really should Danny Boyle someone millionaire. Yeah it was
good nowholl directing movie. But like Dark Knight literally changed the game. It
literally changed the Oscars. He is the reason, the man, the myth,
the legend. He is the reason why there are ten nominees, right
or whatever, eight and I would ever like more than five now. And
how fitting. I think they did this a little bit on purpose because of
course they know the winners. I'm sure he was always presenting it. But
to have Spielberg hand the award to him because I'm someone that of course like,
hey, his last few films, I don't think they've been as great
as other people said, but they're still good. I still not the type
of good like Chloe jiaogood good, like oh a film. It's I really
enjoyed. I don't think it was like when it first came up, to
be like this is it Spielberg's winning again. I was like, ah,
I don't see that, Like the same way as killers Flower Moon, like
we'll talk about it winless. When people were on that train, I was
like, eh, I don't see it and we'll get there. But him
for director to handle it over To me, I tweetout, it's passing the
torch. It's like wrestling. It's from I'm the guy to your the guy.
Right, I still think for me Martin Scorsese, I don't know now.
I always said he was the best, and I have to wait till
Nolan's whole career is kind of done. Right, But I always consider Mario
the GOP, but people consider spill the goal. It's like, yeah,
it's like one A and one B, right. But Nolan, to me,
he is going to be the greatest of all time because, like you
look at what he's done. This guy really, to me, has never
missed and he's just changed the genre of cinema multiple times. This was his
crowding achievement. It just felt like it was time I saw Oppenheimer. It
was time. I never had a doubt. You know, Jorgo has got
talked about a lot, Alexander Payne a little bit in the beginning, but
like, I just never had any doubt it was not gonna be him because
it powerhouse powerhouse like career but powerhouse film, right, So it's great.
He had one of the best speeches to the night too. He's getting emotional,
which is rare to see for Nolan. But yeah, the passing of
the torch, that's what it felt like. It felt like, Hey,
you know, the way people talk about Spielberg now is a way they aren't
even talk about Nolan that way, right, Like, and imagine him.
Man so happy for him. Spielberg someone that he looks up to, fan
of his work. He showed he was one of the first pill to see
Oppenheimer and as a guy growing up like loving film Spielberg. That's like the
bill Na right, that guy handing you your best director war, which many
people are like, Whin's hey gonna win, Whin's he gonna win. That's
incredible. So it's just like it was a perfect story all the way around
for Oppenheimer. I didn't sweep like I thought it was gonna be the oscar
pool. I will say, I will show if people listen to that,
let me pull it up here. Congratulations the Summer Hansy she got twenty one
out of twenty three. She missed the anything. It was like short documentary
and then best Actress, which we'll get there. People should listen to me.
But she finished first twenty twenty twenty one point me April Matty tied at
second place with eighteen at twenty three. S. S. Bubbs was after
that with fifteen, and then Mike and Clay tied for last place. Sort
of voice with fourteen and twenty three, but very fun. I can't wait
to do that again next year. But I should have the same with actress.
I should have went with my heart or my brain was screenplay. I
went for the sneak picks with everyone kept saying American Fiction. I was like,
I don't see it. And that's when I was wrong, I thought.
And I was also thinking Appenheimer Sweeps. I was like, I just
going Oppenheimer. I was wrong there and Past Lives. I went for like
an underdog pick, you know, and that didn't work out for me.
I should have just went with zone and American Fiction. I should just fall
Golden Derby so and even then I don't why I wouldn't it be hands it?
Yeah, I guess I was still little been one below. So congrats
to her on that one. She's a raining champ. I'll take you down
next year, don't worry. Just like you know one day, Pansy,
we need to figure we need to finish this monopoly debate. It's gonna happen.
We're gonna do a Games Night next in the Games Night's poker, but
soon we're gonna do Monopoly. I have like a legit I'm not even like
people are gonna laugh. I have like a legit undertaker twelve year undefeated record,
and I'm not the fucking banker. Don't do that shit on me.
I'm like fucking Mike Tyson. Kay, I just make the right fucking moves
when it comes to fake money. But congrats on the win there. So
I should have went with those And of course I haven't seen any of them,
so I can't say, oh, was that Deserver or not? No,
but I'm going to I'm gotta get to them. I think eventually problem
was as well too. Some of these films I would have watched while the
kids were home up the kids or the kids not home, but they've been
sick lately, so I got a lot of movies to catch up on.
Of the past of twenty twenty three and then the beginning of twenty twenty four.
But I'm hoping this week and once my movie's done as well too,
because lot of late nights have been editing that, right, So now this
week will be coming on me kind of a good sory relief of that portion,
right, So, but yeah, I think it's arguably his best.
It's tough for me. It's that our dark Knight Oppenheimer. So it's like
it makes sense he should have won for this director. It's by god time,
in my opinion, should probably be like a because like who won the
twenty twenty one Best Director? And what for? Is that? The king
speech again descending to Alexander Payne? All funny enough? Look at that category.
Look at this category in twenty twenty. Oh he wasn't even he wasn't
even nominated for inception. No, I thought he was. Come on,
let's see oscars. I put in twenty twenty one Best Film, and IDEs
of March comes up first. I like the movie. The fuck let's see
twenty eleven? Am I off a year? I shouldn't be right as the
best Original Screenplay, leading role? Where is the best best feature Film?
Oh? H? Fuck? I know him killing the cast right now.
Hang on, Oh my god, come on Academy website. Let's see film
eating any feature view by film. Oh my god, I can't find it.
Someone someone let me s bops if you can, or someone chat let
me know. Exception, it was not my best picture in twenty and eleven.
Who was normally for Best Director. I think it was. I think
I have it here and it's not No. One, which I'm surprised again
should just want I'll move off it because I'm just ranting at Oppenheimer. So
great to see it when Downy same thing. It was kind of funny during
Kimmel's speech. I felt like there was a point where you like, let
him have the one joke about his is the one joke about his drug addiction
pass, and then like Kimil kept going and like you know, he was
doing the wrap it up move along, But it did felt genuine and we've
known him in the past that Downey like hitnimt mind talk about. But at
the same time, it's just like I think he feels like it's bean a
dead horse has been so long, like once we got five years past iron
Man, the whole like want to come backstory. Even people say now like,
man, what a come backstory it is, but like he's really recovered
his life. I think he's just like done with like, yeah, you
were a drug addict, right. I think it's different. He makes a
joke about it, and to me, his jokes more clever than Kim Will.
Just like, this isn't the highest he's been in his career. It's
like all right, like that stuff I didn't like, and I was kind
of more down on that one where it's like, let's let's move along,
right, So okay, so Best Actor Killy Murphy. That's when I did
have to doubt because I was I gonna say, Paul Gmoney was great.
And I feel like it's very similar in a way where they're kind of performance
and career oscars. It's tough. It's easier when you have let's say two
front runners, right, and it's like a best Actor and both are great
performances, but there might be somebody, like let's say it's younger versus new
one, there might be somebody and if they're equivalent, there might be somebody
with like that, oh we want to get the thank You Award. Let's
let's lean that way, right, And with this they both had that.
Let's see winners King speech, Uh winners, Yeah, Tom Hooper, Yeah,
not only is blacks one, Darren Noosky, Darrol Russell, David Fincher,
Joel Joel Cohen and Ethan Cohen. Yeah, so that's a murder's row.
I still actually would just talk about Tom Hooper, like what has Tom
Hooper have been off to since then? And even then I would have give
it a Fincher then too, I would that's see. And that's one where
I go, Hey with social network, that made a fucking huge splash,
and I feel like that was what's his time, what's his name? Uh,
Fincher's time to win it? He should have And it's almost not like
gave up. I was like, well that's it for me. Let's see
here all that's a documentary. But that's one at least where I go,
Okay, he would have lost the Fincher if that's fine, But let's see
Tom Hooper. What has he been? Oh? I didn't he direct?
Now? He directed one another film that I was like, man on it.
Let's see Tom Hooper. No, he did cats, he did do
cats. He's been a director jail ever since. Oh my god, we
gave the guy who did Cats, Danish Girl, lame as Rob loves lame
as Robb. I know it's like, yeah, not almost like Chloe Jaw
not the biggest fan you have Cats. Yeah, that's come on, now,
come on now. But anyways, best Actor is pretty quickly. I
thought gim Money could take it. But near the end, as it's Killian's
award there there, that kind of went away. Whatever. I think he
made a good speech. It was great to see what a great story.
I won't call him like a character actor, but like close enough for killing
Murphy. Great story of just a guy who's been putting to work for years
finally gets this big you know, this big movie, which is funny.
Ben Kingsley is like he took the role of Robert Oppenheimer with no script.
What balls this man have? Yeah, but it's struck by Christopher Nolan.
I think any actor in Hollywood if their agent said hank Chris for Nolan once
he lead his next film, yeah, sure, like they take the pay
cup, they wouldn't read the script all that stuff, right, So yeah,
he hasn't done on TV ever since Trattford Attorney and Director's Jail for cast.
I think, yeah, He'll got another shot. He's still like an
Oscar winner, right, there'll be something, but just not. It's kind
of like like Damien Gazelle. Unfortunately, he's kind of like Oscar jail,
which sucks for babb Like that is one thing that is scary when he said,
like, I'm writing this film, but I don't think it's gonna get
made because I won't get a budget. Now, at that point there is
an argument that he should maybe if he knows that I'm hoping he has a
version of the script that's not a Maya budget. But that's what sucks is
you have a guy who and that's where maybe feel like King's Speech and everything
Layman's rob they feel the same way, Right, you got a guy who
treks these great Oscar Academy Award nominated films and makes a couple of things and
then it's dead fucking Damien Cizelle made Whiplash and what I said, Whiplash and
Lala land Man like two of the greatest for me grace films. Ever,
I don't care it might be hyper Ball because they're still newer, but like
they both have their place in cinema. And because he did first Man which
I think everyone looked as like disappointing, and then some people hate Babylon.
It's like it's not over for him, but it is like, I don't
know if I can what I'm gonna be able to make right, and that
that's fucked up. That shouldn't be the case, you know. Apparently that's
month he announced he's working on something and he's doing a mcdon's commercial. Cool,
maybe that's just choice. Hey, he's won to uscar a great career.
Still Kat's big miss, but I don't know how he got to tell
who all right now? But yeah, great for Murphy. I hope just
like Carrie mullen or Karrie mulligan, I hope Chillimani can get there one day.
But that's one thing we gotta say too. I love, I absolutely
love the actor categories. When all the actors come out, there's five,
then they present for one person. Really enjoy that. It was fucking super
weird because he mentions with the globes but doubled down. I think the last
time they did this was in two thousand and nine when Heath won. And
it's interesting because Heath won and Heath twos and nine wins best Supporting Actor.
He was in the same category with Robert Downey and the next time someone wins
that award in a Nole movie is Robert Downey. And it was I'm getting
the emotion right now when he said that the Globes, when he talked about
I had to accept that word for heath and the first person I saw was
Downy. It's like, man, I'm not as you get older, it's
not the like I can't fully say like that everything happens for a reason,
because I don't think he Fledger should have died for a reason. But I
just like that whole so much is connected and like that Matrix helmet, She's
like, man, that is that is fucking crazy that Downey is winning this
award was so connected to that. I was gonna be like the runner up
there, right, So, man, check out on Patroon. We just
did a two Hands retrospective. It's a movie that he Fledger to a rose
burn. It's got crime movie, very fun, Sam you he became a
Patreon producer and recommended that's you can do that. Tier really like spoiling my
thoughts a little bit, but there's a whole hour conversation really good movie and
shut Heath fledger Man and like such a bummer every time I see a movie.
It's great to see him, but then it's just always that wash off
man. Like we talked with the cast, he would be forty five right
now. This guy would still be giving out fucking Oscar performances. You know,
such a bummer, but grateful circle, Downy, good speech. I
feel like some of his better materials been used elsewhere, so I think kind
of the tough thing when people win a lot or they're for sure where like
you look at someone like Emma Stone, she wasn't for sure gonna win.
So I just like that speech was felt so like moving and powerful and interesting.
So but great for Oppenheimer deserves all killing in Downy, all that stuff.
Let's get the best actress one of my bigger ones. Let's see.
I think you guys now have the only review podcasts of Two Hands on the
net. That's probably true because like I said, we hadn't heard that right.
So hey, if the people for Two Hands are looking out there,
you go. Same thing. That director. We were bummed that he didn't
do anything else. He did a couple of things on TV nowadays, but
so best actress and this is gonna become my last. Probably a dendum on
Kills the Flower Moon, not that I hate it, Love course says he's
still getting like a four or five letter box, greatly directed, natterally,
there's things about that I really like. Emma Stone won it. That was
when my one cute coups in the oscar pool, because I think it was
like three of us picked her and unforced other people did. But that was
for me, Like Nolan where I said he's getting crowned this year. It's
happening after Roppenheimer with Poor Things. I had already thought this, there's three
kind of signs, this three strike system. I guess four strike right.
All the build up to kill this and Lily and I hear all this praise
for her performance. She is great. She's the best part of that movie.
I think there is a universe where when she is more of the main
character that movie, she wins this award. She could. I still lean
to Emma because I think she has to do so much in that movie.
It's kind of like when it came down to Paul and Killy and it's okay.
Both have great careers, both have great performance. I just looked at
one. Okay, what just felt like maybe harder to do. That's subjective,
but to me, Appenheimers could be a little more harder to do.
Right with this, I think they're both equivalent that way, with ammaztone a
little bit edge as far as having a harder performance. I think there's tough
things like Lily Gladstone got sat on, like laid in the bed for a
while and was sick and there was passage of time. You have to show
that. But I still always said you should have montaged that and found a
way because it felt like she was missing and that was the biggest thing.
And I had so many people would be all, it's Lily, and oh
it's this and the example all the time, right, And this is where
I didn't get it. Many people give me this, well, you know,
and saying this like I'm a fucking idiot who doesn't watch the oscars more
of them. But that's okay, you know, that's fine. And there
the people that didn't say, I'm sure are above me. I'm saying like
the people that said to me was like not as invested in oscars and they
had a reason to say it, right, they'd say, well, you
knew. It's like the air gone kicked the helmet and broke his foot.
Right. Anthony Hopkins was only in you know sas Lancer about thirteen to forty
minutes, and he won. I get it. But he's the clear male
lead in that because I know those other leads, but he's a clear male
leader of his presence. And that's the biggest thing. Science of the Lambs
was a fucking undeniable performance. You get to argue best actor, supporting whatever,
right, but undeniable. So that's where it's like, so powerful,
doesn't matter how much screen time he had. I think Lily had that.
But then there's moments where they benched her, and there's moments where as I've
said before, mon scare he says, Hey, as I'm writing this film,
I realized it's from the white person's point of view, and we got
to change that. And then when I saw the movie, it's pretty much
from a white port person's point of view. You know, it's the same
thing. It's like, I disagree with a few people in our discord about
that. I'm like, oh, that they didn't want to do it,
because like there's certain ways they don't want to make the cops feel like the
hero. It's like, I still think the cops feel like the hero.
I have many issues with the movie, but I think the movie issues is
what led her to not winning here, even though I still want to give
to Amma because that performances. As I'm gonna say my other points, she
to me is the new street monster. She's Meryl Streep. She is the
best. I've said before like, oh, it's the pedo old swarms pew
after I fully saw Poor Things and that was the strike system, right,
So Lily had that and I saw the movie. I was like, this
didn't doesn't feel like a Best Actress winning performance in the sense of what they
gave, right, not the quality. She's great and hope it's hear more.
But I was like, okay, so you have that. I seen
these trailers and already I was okay, she's doing something, and I guess
I just combined them together right that once I saw the movie, so strike
one to Strike two. Once I saw the trailers, like Wow, this
is something, and in the movie it's just like fully backed, she's giving
like an all timer. She's giving like something you're gonna talk about for ever,
as far as like when you're alive, you're like fucking them so poor
things right like that was to me it just showed she's levels above because she's
doing stuff she hadn't done before multitude layers. I just watched it again today.
Loved it. Everything I loved, even the comedy, all holds up
all the issues I have about being a bit too long. I don't like
the husband's stuff. At the end, there's some cues they give her about
with the poor people, and then they move away, like there's some inconsistencies,
and it was a little too long. So I still couldn't give that
perfect five. It was kind of hoping on a on a rewatch i'd give
it a ten, but I couldn't. But still fantastic. It's in my
top five this year, and I'll watch it many times my life. Really
enjoyed it, so she just gave an all timer. Lily was kind of
to me benched and some of the quality and I don't know, didn't win
a single Oscar, so I feel like it was kind of like it's Marty,
he made something really good. It's an important movie, but at the
same time it doesn't reach a certain level that was there, and then straight
three for me was excuse me. I remember when I was watching the Variety
Actress on the Actress from Mark Ruffalo and Downey, and he said the second
and this was the first time I caught it, and then other people started
to do it right, And of course it's because with Mark's there, so
you're just like, oh, whatever. But once I heard other people start
talking about it, it reminded me of something. He talks about poor things,
and he's like the second I saw it, I texted him and I
just ran just like pretty much just like either the greatest actor, I could
never be as good as you. You're works remarkable and he was not the
only person saying that. And just like every time be in other interviews like
other actors actors and oh and there's great performances and there's Emma was still like,
oh it was great, like oh, she's a magnificent Like it reminds
me. I remember there was an interview red Carpet. I don't know where
it was, but Cate Blanchette was doing a I can't remember what she was
nominated for. It wasn't tar, I don't think, but ever year either.
She was nominated or just being interviewed or something right for Oustcar season with
Joker was coming out, and they set up some question. I just remember
the question not being specifically like what do you feel about walking Phanie's a Joker
answer. It was a broad thing, and she just like zoned out and
singled in on him and was just like he's an actor's actor putting in the
best work. And I agree he should have won that year. It's just
saying just fucking just praise the high Heaven. And I remember her. I
didn't even remember hearing as many actors say about him, but I remember her
saying something like all of us feel that way. And that's where I was
like, other actors are looking at Joker and being like, fuck, that's
the one. And when Downy said that about Stone and other people said that
like similar things like I just had to talk to her. That was a
performance that other actors were like, fuck, I couldn't do that, because
I've bet a lot of people don't feel like they could. That's a hard
role. When I'm not saying no one can just do what Lily Gladstone Didm'm
saying she's not replaceable. She was great, but I'm just saying, like
on paper, one is harder than the other, in my opinion, to
make come off right, a goofy or sink a film could be just completely
dumb right. So the fact that so many actors were praising her, I
was, like, she has it. Now. What's interesting is I don't
know if the actors were the ones that got hurt the win or it was
a situation where they just didn't vote as much during the Screen Actor Guild the
ward. But he was winning a bunch of awards. It's deserved. To
me, she is the best in the world right now, as much as
I love p and Lapede, and there's a bunch of other people right between
that and the curse. Even this year, she has taken some wild fucking
swing. She's not restling on her lawyer, she's not doing the same thing
over, She's not doing just the type of Oscar baby stuff. I'm not
saying she had to go out and literally show every part of her she did,
but like I'm not saying that, I'm hoping that's not the reason she
won. I don't think it is, because like the performance is just like
fantastic. I'm more meaning the like the old school narrative like, well,
if you get naked, you know that's you gonna get oscar, not that
she already has one. She's a two timer. I legitimately think she could
break the record. The record is three, right, Daniel Dan and Meryl
Street have three. I think Jack has a three year third, right.
I think those are the those are the trifecta. I think she could get
to a four because she's that damn good and she's what. It's like those
stats and you're like, oh, Jennifer Lawrence like won her first Oscar twenty
two. You're like, Jesus Christ, she's thirty five. Man. Anthony
Hopkins won an Oscar a couple of years ago at the age of seventy,
Like, this is like, we're just I think this is maybe the peak
of her. But she's just the go She's fantastic. I was win there
on stage. I was really like, fuck, I hope her Noem worked
together soon, but it sounds like her and yore So doing a lot,
but absolutely deserved. I was happy about that one because I just felt like
so many people like, nah, it's Lily, It's gonna be Lily,
and just like talk down to me like a fun ofwfware, right, Not
like I ever felt like personally like you're being really mean about this. No,
not that, I just felt like people were always just saying like,
oh, that's great, you think about that about Amma. But Lily,
it's like, I guess, but look at the teelees uh, divine joy
Randolph. We knew that was happening. Great performance, well deserved, Barbie.
What I was made for the Eilish one. I think it is the
better, more well written song. But there is a case for me.
I'm kind of I think, especially after the performance, everyone was like,
I gotta allow that to win now because Gossling, he fucking killed it.
Man, he killed it. It was only interested at the International film.
Like I said, I hadn't seen it, but that was the runaway,
so it makes sense. And I've said before I don't really have any interest
in Holocaust movies. More. Seeing more of the plot, I go,
Okay, I am curious about this one, so I am going to check
out. So that helped me out. A cinematography Oppenheimer that was an o'della
as well. Screenplay adapted was Nami Fall and American Fiction for or a megafiction
for that apt original for Nami Fall? What did I have for original?
What was my guest there? Why are you screenplay? Oh yeah, oh
past lives right. I was hoping it was gonna make like a surprise,
but didn't happen. Then adapted I had ap and I were just soup.
Didn't happen. God zillmas one good for them. I don't know if to
me if it was as deserving, because just I feel like stuff like the
creator was better, and I just hope it doesn't send a message of like
potentially overwork your staff, not pay them and you an all scrap of it,
right, Like I hope it's not a bad precedent. But and then
poor things taken all the awards that Barbie should have taken, I guess in
a sense, but especially cost you would have thought, right, but best
costume, best production design, best making, hair styling. Yeah it's tough,
but like all those are deserving. Look at Defoe those costumes. That
doesn't like I had them all for them just because like it it's so unique.
My pitch was maybe Peel thought this way, Barbie. You still had
books, toys, animated movies to work off of. Poor things all original
from someone's mind, right, other drawings. So that was my thinking,
and uh yeah, that's that's about it. I'm not gonna go with the
documentary stuff because those were just guesses by us. But uh yeah, great
year. One of my favorite years far as winners and films, like everyone
wants deserving happy My trest told you pulled off with Nolan, and uh,
Nolan not didn't feel as good because like that just seems so obvious. But
with Stone, she was very surprising because I don't think she was thinking she
was gonna win. I think she did think Lily was gonna win. And
I hope see Lily back here again. You know, Like I I would
have been fine with her winning. It wasn't that. It's just that I
think that the film let her down a little bit so, which is kind
of a shame because it's one crack oh and the Boy in the Hair with
animated future film that was another to me, Uh you know, blow it
to my own horn there, But I just felt like Expiraverse lost steam.
They won that glow, but I tim in the Globe want one of them.
But like I just thought to people were picking it. It's like I
don't. I don't see it. We're in twenty eighteen, you know,
twenty nineteen Austar season. I felt undeniable. This felt like, yeah,
there's someone that you can make an argument for. And I just also don't
think it's as good as the first one. You know, that's my opinion.
So let's take a break, and then I'm gonna talk about some doom
box office and what I thought about the movie. So we'll be right back.
Oh the long hair, gents and ladies and everyone else just whoo getting
in the way. Sometimes it looks good though, So look, I'm pretty
messy right now, but starting to get the way. But I won't cut
especially now we're filming something. I gotta film what I need to and then
then cut it after. So I'm keeping it. Summer we'll see. But
yeah, Dune great box First I should have said this in an opening.
Fuck well, let's talk about after. But Dune doubled. What was it
went from forty to eighty one million? Doubled? The first the second makes
sense, non agro max, COVID gone. So that's great. And then
this weekend forty four percent drop. Let me look at the numbers. Did
Kung Panna end up beating it, which is still a little surprising. I
thought it could hold a little bit better, but still, forty four percent
drop really great. When we Live at Okay, Kung Fu Pana fifty eight
and Dune Part two forty six. Ah, it's not too bad, right
doing plus threet screen Theears. Imaginary came out ten million. Didn't even know
it was out. I didn't know it was out til I saw Maddie Uld
drop a letter box review for and I was like, really, what is
the budget for Imaginary? Can't be much? Right? Budget the thirteen millions.
Yeah, they'll make its budget back. I've heard it's not the greatest,
but uh, headshaving for actual ice stream not the afterlife stream. I
know, you like just been slow interesting the athletes. It's the afterlife stream.
Fuck man, do something wrong. I'm doing a podcast for the dead,
you know. But yeah, probably I'll probably do it there. I'll
probably do it for that to raise some money, and if not, I
guess i'll keep them. It's got a haircut, but yeah, probably Fraxtu
life, so I'll probably keep it then. But forty four percent drop really
good. It already outpaced domestically the first one, so all good science.
To me, it's just like a question of where is Warner Brothers and everything
like that right now? But to me, if it's doing this much better
than the first one and you relet the sequel, you better relet three.
Maybe they're not doing it because Dediaz said hey, it's gonna be a bit,
so it's probably that's fine. I just would like it confirmed that.
It's just hey, that's our attentions to make it at some point, right,
but I think it's gonna happen. Big shout out. I don't think
I've tweeted this out either, so I've just gotten all the ways around,
But big shout to everybody that listened shared it. Three days, biggest episode
year, and it beat every episode last year. So I don't know what
the last episode was for twenty twenty one or twenty twenty two, but for
twenty twenty three, beat every single episode with like just just a week.
I think it was a week. It was maybe just under, just over
by whatever. Seven days. Pretty much everybody listened to it and got us
past every episode in twenty twenty three, So thank you very much. I'm
bummed. I couldn't be on the review it was a fun conversation listener,
and there's a couple twoer it's like, oh, I want to make a
point there, but I can't. So yeah, just a big thank you
to everybody that listened. It's nice because we haven't had like a really really
big episode in quite a while, just because I feel like a lot of
those big ones people weren't going to see and disappointing and like, eh,
not too much exciting to talk about. We're doing had a bunch of exciting.
So yeah, thank you to the boys for holding that down because I
was deadly sick. But thank you everybody listening, because that stuff helps when
you get downloadspread like it helps with algorithms. When you download, it's like
recommend it, like oh, if you don't subscribe as podcast, this is
something you might like. So just a big thank you. I'm I'm very
excited to see what ends up, but after a week, I'm more than
happy. Beat every episode last year. Uh yeah, so I really appreciate
it. Thank you everybody. That means a lot just to have those,
especially when you don't have one a while, you're like, man, we
ever gonna have a big one, and it helps for creating other shows,
helps our payroll, helps paying our fucking taxes. Fucking where are we at?
Like it's like three at thirty five hundred dollars be paying all our tax
everything just like the work and everything comes like small business man, it's great,
but fuck man, like ooh, we could be stressful. I've almost
VISI all my tax stuff I did for the business, but out for me
personally. But uh so, yeah, thanks for the episode is done?
Three gonna have to happen, I think so. I think it'll just be
delayed. If I would like an official announcement to get that going, and
would I want it where it be my excitement level? What did I think
of doing too? I specifically some people buged me. Didn't put it on
my list for letterbox, didn't rate it, didn't tweet about it because it's
that time about trust told you and I need it talk about here, right,
So lots of different opinions out there, and I might have a surprising
one of just I didn't think i'd be like talking about potentially failing doomed.
Pardon no, I'm joking, I'm kidding. I I wouldn't be failing it,
Uh, I am in the camp of even in some film, I
think it's like an overrated take. And for me it's tough to say because
it is so new, but it's just like something for me, I was
sitting there and be like, this is one of the greatest films ever fucking
made, like period, decade, genre whatever. This did feel like when
people made The Lord of the Rings comparison apps of fucking Lutley Man like it
had that vibe to me. It made the first one, which is a
great film, you could argue one of the best, better top twenty sci
fi films. It made that film look like fucking nothing like Amateur Hour.
And that's not to just put that down. That's still great. The second
one, man, holy fuck everything, every cylinder, acting, score,
visuals, this movie looks so fucking good. Scene choreography, ciner, talkography,
everything I can name out film, the pacing, it's that perfect amount
where it was two whatever hours and like two forty six something didn't feel it.
It's like that thing for me we were talking about on Originals a couple
weeks ago, where like I think I shaved off or like last month whatever,
somehow I shaved off about ten minutes of our film, and we talked
about like Joe moo oh director's cut and stuff like that, and I'm more
in a sense of no, like this cut for me is the best one.
It's a little shorter, and you know, I didn't think it was
gonna be that short when we started making it, but not that short.
It's not like it's like long. It's not a short film, but it's
just like I thought when I wrote the script and we filmed it, I
was like, Oh, it's at least looking like me like an hour and
a half or something. It's not that now. It's closer to an hour
pretty much. When all said done, hang, I'm wiping the camera because
like, got spit on it. I'm not gonna lie. That's what happened
shot Projectile. So because it sucks, we hear there's stuff that they cut,
but that was something where it's two forty six I could going and stay
there. That's one of those things with the long movie is moving. It's
great, and so spoilers were doom but not I'm not going big time and
just certain plot points. I think this is one of the bet like what
they did with Paul Tradey's I know you can't do the exact same But what
they do with paul Training's here is exactly what I would have wished happledankin Skywalker.
The way they ruined for me some aspects of Darfaar's character, this was
like, oh if I got to see that done correctly right. And what
I love about this is like it's a complete gray area tale. It's like
a what would you do? Right? Because I've seen that so many times
when people are talking about because I kind of got I knew it was kind
of go all away, but people talked to I think a little spoilery about
like oh, like, oh, he's that sort of he has that arc
right, which I didn't know he for sure would get that, but going
in like okay, it sounds like that's happening the whole time I'm watching,
like I fully agree with him here, you know. Now, don't get
me wrong, People are like, what are you saying to us? There's
a certain point right because the first movie, his dad talks about, you
know, leading, right, and it's you don't choose the lead like leading
chooses you pretty much right, like it finds your way where he to me,
does get chosen to lead by the Furman to lead to free them.
He gets chosen to lead the fight back, to kill the emperor, to
you know, kill the bear and all the stuff like for revenge and to
get back a racus. Right, that to me is like where he's in
the right, where he's chosen the lead. Where he's not is at the
end, where it's like, hey, they don't accept you his emperor,
and it's like we're going to fucking war and killing a bunch of people,
even though yeah, that's what I like, where it's not black and white
where you go. Fuck, he's just a back guy. Now, No,
why wouldn't these houses meet with him? Why didn't they fucking look into
the fucking hole? Oh god, what's Paul? I forget Paul's line,
like blood line and everything like that. But like he gets they get massacred
and no one takes a glance. So it's just like there, of course,
you don't want to be going out just killing people. It's like no
one's doing anything about what's happened to cause Tranes, Right, it's just like
it's so good, And that's what it's like for me. I like and
stuff like again, all these personal stuff I believe in the death penalty.
So at the beginning, when it's just like all they're doing is just killing,
like the arcin people and the people specifically that fucked up his family,
I'm something like, yeah, fuck it, kill mall like I don't.
They don't need to do prison time for me. They massacred, massacred your
people, everybody, men, women, chilled, like they fucking need to
go. Now, that's where it comes down to why you need to be
the amper, like you just kind of wanted to revenge, righting to bring
your house back. I think there's even a way, but you being so
aggressive Wong War. That's where it's like, whoa, you're going too far.
That's the perfect type of villain story, right is you're with them until
you're not, so you're like, oh, it's too far. And even
now I could still semi understand when the houses are like nah, fuck you
man, like we're not gonna even listen to you. You go all right,
fuck this, take down the whole system right again, I think he's
gonna go more on the route that maybe you shouldn't do that part. But
I thought all the layers agree with all the characters, all the different situations
were fantastic, awesome. Butler man, holy fuck. I loved the voice.
Sometimes it sound a little goofy like Baine, but that's what I wanted.
I love they try to make themselves kind of sound like a version of
stelling the Scars card. But I'd heard that, I'd heard the comparison of
oh, you know, joke er Anton Sugar as like, all right,
like USO. Butler's a really good actor. But that is putting a lot
on this, And I didn't say it was wrong. I was just like,
hey, that's high expectations. I don't know what i'd have to do.
A treshold your the top ten cinematic villains. I don't know if he's
in the ten, but I don't know if he's not in the ten.
I think he's definitely top twenty, top twenty five. He fucking delivered.
Man, he was a scary villain. I love that portion of just it's
as many origin. I love that they showed his fucking weak points with women
and lias to do and this fucking seemed like a romance novel. He was
like, they show this powerhouse, but still ways you can take him down.
I love that the second that happens in her action. Then they go
away and she's pregnant. It literally just shows like what they're doing to feign
is I think the same Fane or I'll just say awesome Butler because I forgot
the name. What they're doing is exactly what they did all scares like years
ago. That's I always was surprised in the first like, oh I should
marry you. She just met him. Jessica just met him, probably fucked
him, got a kid, and said oh yeah, we're in love,
but just played on his insecurity as weaknesses. Right. So that's why I
love because I've seen some people be like, oh there's stuff in here that
I didn't get. What I was in there wasn't needed to me. That
was like a perfect allegory to show like this is what they do. This
is how they get their hooks and everybody, and this is exactly what happened
to Paul's to head, Like all that little stuff that portion there of the
black and white, the natural lighting that's good, all the stuff with the
baron and like Advatista, which I was happy it is anymore, the kissing
of the feed your embarrassment is all this villain stuff was good. It's just
it was people have said before, like before the first one, like Dune
is Game of Thrones in space. Apps of fucking lutely that's what that was,
and somehow they pull it off with like to me, all stories they
did have and being on the Game of Thrones in a under three hours,
what a fucking achievement, you know, just very very good. Some of
the big action scenes, the battle scene is fantastic. At first I was
not disappointed, but I was surprised the ending, like, oh, it's
gonna be very helms deep, but then it wasn't. But it kind of
fit the story as far as they were kind of what is the word underestimated
and they planned already planned all out right, and Paul can fucking see the
future at times, right. So teyley Shall may always been great, really
good league year, but fuck when he was doing this whole speech about being
the Chosen One stuff, yeah, man, Like I'm not saying that was
Oscar worthy because I think like that was, Like, I think he has
some really great, like best I think his best actor scenes, but I
don't think that the whole performance is Best Actor, and even the nominee,
I don't think you'd get there because I think overall will probably be more,
but who knows, we'll see what the feel is like. But he was
great at least for me. He's like locking a Golden Keek nomination and if
we have five performances better than him, then it's like, man, fantastic
like that that's a great year. But yeah, he just I'm not gonna
say leveled up, but it's just like he's getting better and better, so
he is fantastic. Zandeya really good, like great, kind of heart ass
at times, but like Sweden, understanding and just like kind of almost puppy
dog love with Paul, but not in the sense that she's gonna sacrifice her
morals, which I appreciate. I think there was sometimes where you go,
hey, like why are you against this? Like there's no there's no way
out. I know she doesn't want to kill Paul to become a leader,
but there are times where it's okay. Once they're shooting your home, it's
like you kind of gotta be with the kill plan, right, Like there's
only so much you can do, Like they're gonna extinct you. It's you
or them, right, But I think that's just to show Shawnie's kinda just
like not innocence but in a sense of just trying to leave the absolute emperor
rule are also powerful. Paul as the very last option and don't want to
get there, and that scene all when she realized because he says kind of
goodbye and he's gonna marry Florence Pew and it's that three way if he's in
the middle and they're looking and I just love each time he's saying someone doing,
somebody looks back at Johnny and just like doesn't want to do this.
It just would pretty much just be like and hey, if you're into that,
great, but if you're not into that, like this starts an air
of you're watching the person you love fuck somebody else and they keep looking back
like, oh, like I don't want to do this, but like I
gotta, you know, And that's what it felt like. And this was
like a deeper level of course, right, but uh yeah, it was
fantastic. I really I have no if it's cons it's like what I've said
before where it's mine or stuff where I go, oh, you know,
like I heard the boys bring up on the review where hey, they didn't
show they would have liked to see how did Butler find their base and take
them all out, so like he just kind of knew, right, and
it's like, yeah, but I didn't need a whole scene of oh,
we talked to a guy and I put my hand, my air, my
finger in the air to know which way the vermin live, Like I just
took it as he told them, I'm gonna go do everything in my power
to find these people kill And that's what he's doing right Where Bautista was sometimes
seemed scared, seems like he wasn't as motivated, seemed like it felt like
he was doing good enough. Butler is full on, no, I'm gonna
fucking take these people out. That's my job. And here we go,
even that girl out. They got flame floor. And that's why I wanted
to try to reviews like, oh, they said she was like a spy
staying back for information. Like the plan was for her to stay back and
give info out right, be like, hey, they're being attacked, we
can't go back here, but unfortunately she got caught and just fucking flamethrower for
pleasure. Yikes, yikes, you know, but yeah, it'd be like
minor stuff, but it's uh, you know, I hate to show my
cards and it doesn't even matter, right because same with the Golden Geeks,
you know, listen to winners. My favorite film last year still Saltburn.
But to me the best film was Off and im same thing as last year.
My number ranked film was Batman. But everything everyone wants got my vote,
right, So maybe there will be something technically greater, but I don't
see it. For me. I'm already like locked for Golden Geeks. For
a lot of them, it's like dude, man like that has the fucking
juice, the sand juice, but it's got the jew And yeah, everyone
was great, even tho there's small roles, great stuff, even walk And
I didn't mind because people, of course joke like always stills the accent,
but with him being the Emperor and almost like a loof a figurehead and being
like off by himself, I didn't mind if you like talked a little a
little differently, you know. So yeah, I absolutely loved it. It
was everything I wanted and more. It's just one of those experiences of when
you're sitting there liking Alppenheimer Barbie for like a fun factor but like a dark
Knight, which an inception, even everything over all once like those are some
recent examples, but when you're sitting there, nothing better. When you're like,
fuck, like I might be seeing one of the greatest films of all
time, whether it's part of a genre, the director's fomography, or just
in general, yeah that thing. There's just times where I'm like, man,
that so impressed, so impressed by Denie and the whole crew. So
yeah, I love doing Hope we get that third can't wait? So uh,
let's take our last at break and talk a little bit of wrestling,
so we'll be right back. Ah. Right, So let's see what we
want to talk about first. Let's let's talk about WW a little bit.
Hey on the road, WrestleMania shaving up good like what, I don't much
just say as far as I'm trying the things to catch up on, but
like, I think they're doing a good job send it up, you know,
sending up certain matches. I think stories for the most part are good.
I know people have this theory that I cooled back in Oscar and Bailey,
so people don't or what is it, EO and Bailey, So people
don't want that as the main event, but it's just like h like I
guess, but I think, no matter what, even if it was super
hot, Rock and Roman in the tag are main eventing, right, So
no, and I don't watch fully weakly, So it's just like the bigger
things I have been watching anytime it's Cody, Seth Roman or Rawlins. I
watched those segments, uh Rawlands very fifty the week for him. The diarrhea
thing not great. I know the crowd chanting it out, and I know
what he was going for a right, he was trying to do the mockery
of oh well, Dwayne will say these comedic, really cheesy high school or
like kindergarten bits. I'm gonna do that. But I think he should have
been more over the top, make it feel like a real like, isn't
this guy dumb? But it just felt like he was going for it,
So that sucked. But then on Friday he fucking delivered twenty like fifteen rolls
was knocking at the door. So I'm still in there, you know,
because I love that Wrongs. That is the Rollins. I It's I'm so
tough because I love Seth Rowans, I love the actual like who I assume
the guy as far as what I've seen interviews, his morals and values and
wrestling, we see on a lot of stuff. I just don't love the
fucking visionary guy right. And I feel like he did that just because he
felt like all these other flashyer gimmicks were gonna push I needed to do something.
I got the song, But for me, it's just at times,
even like I know it's probably the gimmick, but even when he came down
that outfit, everyone else is looking the way he does, just like,
ah, this doesn't look like you fit. But I still want him in
there because I want him to get that main event he can deliver in the
ring and stuff like he did this moment on Friday, like you had your
moment, it's our time. Stop living in real life craigs, Like he
fucking came to play and he was the most serious. So Seth, who
knows, Maybe no we're diarya lines or maybe work on the delivery of it.
Rock still doing good, going rambling a little bit, getting them over
time. That was a silly error of their So they give them only fifteen
minutes. We all know they'd go long. They should have just give him
the last forty five minutes and maybe take a break here or there. But
yeah, I was, you know, but I'm enjoying the rock. I
think same thing at fifty to fifty where this week was better. It was
okay press conference, he turns the first week when he came out fantastic.
The second week, I think he was being too charismatic, you know,
And there's there's shades of that still with the this week where it's like it's
tough, like it's like he fully can't pull back or go for him being
one hundred percent of heel, right, and that is the rock misson saying
he can't be entertaining. But there's just some stuff where he's still showing his
goosebumps. It's like quite showing that you're a heel, Like if you're gonna
bood well, who gives the fuck about your goosebumps? Right, But it's
overall's passing and it's good. I'm enjoying it. I just wish he would
pull back a little bit on maybe some of the like the rockisms that he
has and maybe it's just so much as like including the crowd on them,
right, But overall I'm liking that story. Cody delivering as usual great you
know on the mic, and you know we're still rooted for him, the
only one. That's why I don't much say about all ww's, So this
is probably my overall point, my overall one the game. Some mic time,
I'm not gonna say he's hurt. But the only one I'm worried for
a little bit is I guess wrong's with diarrhea. But like with Roman,
there is times where it feels like he's being overshadowered, and I think what
sucks to and what I need, what I desperately needs is what sucks is
I feel like this drama right now, we're still about a month away.
We're under over yah under month, so we need it. It's kind of
because the Rock's back, and that was the planned to Rock and Roman.
They pivot, they're gonna do this tag team match. Oh sorry, they
pivot. They're gonna do this tach team match. For me, it feels
like the tag team match is getting more of the press than the Roman match.
I don't get me wrong. I think it will be big night of
I think they're gonna be doing lot shenanigans. But before we get to WrestleMania.
If we don't get a just solo Rock and Cody promo, because that's
what it's about, right, Sure, take team match, Pride, find
each other, get the stip, but the fucking real main event WrestleMania,
because like I said, Sunday is the real main event. You know whatever
they say one night one for the real main event, it's Cody versus Roman
Part two to finish the story. And I think it's getting like a little
loss. It's kind of like what Roman said. They did the idolgy last,
which was which was good and sometimes with Rock, but there's some people
that said, like, almost the second Rock shows up, Roman feel like
the little brother, right, and you don't want that. So I do
want them to establish like this take team match is huge, but you know
what's fucking bigger either way is this fucking title match. And it's like,
that's why it feels getting a little little aweso I had. I had that
realization in the middle of the ring on the promo. I was in the
middle of ring they were when they were doing that promo. I was like,
Oh, like, this isn't really about that title anymore. And then
they bring up a step like, Okay, they're time tighten in, but
I hope that they find a better way to net or even it's just one
week, that's about that to signify. Hey, it's still this is the
biggest prize, right, but uh yeah, we'll see they accept the stip
tag team match seth and Cody versus Rock and Roam and Field did point out
like it looked like Cody was upset that Stephane accept it. Of course,
the storyline wise, I'm excited to see where they go there. I think
Cody's gonna eat the pin because I think he's gonna win the next night,
so that's gonna happen. I don't think it needs a main event. It
will Maine event. I would prefer EO and Bailey, just for Bailey to
get that because all the other horse women and him in wrestling she hasn't.
But and I still think like tickets are gonna be sold, the reaction is
still gonna be there, Like people will still be excited for the take match
wherever it was right, you know, it was opening. So we'll see
and then aw people that's been the big thing with AW right, are they
back? They're gonna get on the hot streak. You know, we'll see,
we'll talk about that. I'm very excited to he just watched S Bob's
last week, he watched the Sting like some of the Sting pay per view,
and now he's getting into and stuff. So I'm very excited because I
thought it was gonna be longer. I thought he was gonna have to pull
his arm. But this is a good time to be catching on watching or
coming back. They had that lower rating this week, which sucked because it
was Osprey's first thing, and if you never know what the wrestling rings.
I feel like sometimes a show that's just mediocre does great in the ratings and
then the show come off revolution, which for the most part, i'd say
from like wrestling community felt like an eighty five out of one hundred for positivity,
like even higherly, I just felt like maybe not it was like the
greatest payer review or like every Mattress five stars. No, but it just
felt like between Stinging and other things, it is like a close enough to
a home run so that usually you think it would spike your rings, but
I guess not. You know, yeah, like what is it all up?
Swing? Like people are putting out there, it could be. It's
tough. It's not in the sense of again people are very doing gloom.
I get it right, I am fucking so sick and tired of the algorithm
every once in a while just recommending me a picture of like look Quartos Stephanie's
first match and happy areas empty. Yeah, they're not how the crowds they
are, but like they're still fucking selling, Like what is it, We'll
get their ass bubs. It's still like fucking big business on Wednesday, it's
like gonna be almost like six seven thousand gates. It's still pretty good.
It's not like the gate they had last time. It's still sure two thousand
stuff. You want to be high. They got to get that up.
But like still with like the Eight Day Revolution, it is things last match,
but they still sold out the sixteen thousand. They still have like a
fifty thousand show coming up and all in and no matches now, it's like
it definitely is, but it's not to the point that people make it out
to be. Hopefully we get some of the TV deal soon, but it
was weird that it went down a little. But it is like the upswing.
It could be. I think it really could be at some point where
you have all these new guys and if they stick around and a lot of
people come back from injuries, that's when we'll be really cooking with juice right
now, you know, cook it whatever you want to say, But well,
we'll say cooking with juice. That's where're gonna They already have a stacked
uber roster, you know. So I suppose this, Yeah, acording to
Tony Connor, was the greatest RESSI period of all the time. No,
I don't think that. Uh. I think there's aspects. If you were
to say greatest retirement, sure, I'd have to think about it. Right,
there's certain retirements that I would have put above it. But because the
people have come back, it lessens them. So maybe hey, one day
me and David can do like a top ten retirement matches and get you to
watch them as pops. If we have time, I'd love to do like
the way comic versions used to do, or like what like see how the
shows like if we ever did bi weekly or weekly, I'd love to have
like a match of the week and we all watch it and talk about it.
But that's there's always lots of news, so that's a high hope thing.
But uh yeahgressling crazy favorbe all time. That's a bit stretched. Tony
does that right? I Tony the pressers, he over embllicious things and he'll
always never get a straight answer. Big Oh, I want to give us
a serious personal answer about this uh reported issue backstage. Well, you know,
that's really great and it's tough and when we look into it or oh,
it wasn't much there. There's just lots of people say a lot of
things. But we had a great show tonight and then we had a better
show tomorrow and we're gonna got to show up for that and we're all don't
forget, uh you know, full gear is coming up, and don't forget.
He's great. Deflecting to the point though now where it's not great anymore,
But I digress. Yeah, Stings retirement perfect. You know that's something
where it's like that's up there. The Suns was so good. I joked
about this before, but they need to sign them and get a development called
the Stingers. I know they don't want to wrestle, but the one guy,
fucking the guy I think his name is Garret's dressed is all Americans sting
or surface Sting that was like fuck, like you put on some weight,
good guy, like Musclewait like you look to the park and then the guy
played hold back, staying house like fuck, like get in a contract.
Look at these leaps, look the splashes he's given out, like this is
some good shit right here, right but not to be the case, but
great moment the Darby spot, Oh fuck that, like I'm not gonna go.
I do this sometimes I do this when they're older, like when Sting
jumped off shit, I'd be like, please don't do that. I don't
want you to get really hurt. I don't want anything worse than that Darby
because he's a younger guy, I can't like, I don't say that.
It's like, well, you got your choice was staying a little bit older.
And if you're jumping off into the arena, it's like one person catch
you. Is it over for you? I don't know, right, but
so yeah, I didn't tell about the payer of your pay of you was
really good though not grace all the time, but really really good. One
of their better ones. Think of one of their strungest one, the pass
a while maybe since all In, because I really liked all In Sash's coming
next week, Mercedes. That's gonna be exciting. I agree with people to
this sent like I do think she will back into me, but it was
odd for her to say it in that moment. The podcast thing they like
took down and edited back up or something. I think it's still there,
just like I think they did that to like not make a trend as much
or spread around. I don't know, but either way, Oh, I
forgot my train of thought there. But uh, let's see, Uh yeah,
Darby he can he can do what he wants. That was a fucking
gnarly spot when he hit and then the right way rolls his back on that
glass man. That guy is fucking crazy. He's climbing Mount Everest. I
legitally hope he makes back, like people do die there, and I think
people says like the biggest you know, yeah Darby saying uh might be his
last match. Oh right, that's what I was saying, was the Sasha
with the she said on a podcast and they took it out and there's a
video for Ji Nina, but like, oh, I'll be back to WW
one day, And it wasn't all thing to say right before the big debut
I will give it back because it does feel like she literally don't mind can
be talking about like, hey, I might be duck to the Hall of
Fame in thirty years. But it did feel like, well, I'm gonna
get a paycheck here and come back there. So maybe not the race,
but I am very excited for that. They're loading up that show Acorda's wrestling
on it, which we'll get to a second. They got a title match,
which that's an interesting one. So uh yeah, Derby saying Big Biggs
might be his last match because Evers was definitely an interesting promo. Yeah,
Darby, he is. If we're doing like letterbox scores for promos, it's
tough because I think sometimes he's like a four, maybe only a four point
five, but then most of the time he's like a three where it's like
passable and good, where this probom had like a lot of heart. He
was saying stuff like maybe because he's felt actually that way that he could die.
But there's times where he's really good, and there's says we're just like
Darby making your ass, and it just feels like, man, where'd the
promo go that you've been dishing this out right but I really like Darby.
He has a unique look. He I was wrong because I thought he was
gonna be the champion after Max. I thought it was gonna go. I
was right up until Max or is Punk. I thought it was gonna go
with Jericho, U Omega Hangman, punk Uh and then MGFF and obviously Punk
left, so you had m jeff or Mocks get the title, and that
made me get the title and stuff that was supposed to be Punk. We
all know, right, So I had the first five champions locked down.
Once he became a babyface MGFF, I was like, fuck, I don't
know because I always thought Darby will be the next one, and if not
Darby, Jungle Boy and I only it's gonna be either well with any of
them with some more chill, right, and then that probably was gonna be
ad him cold if he wasn't injured. So I was off after the first
five. But you know, I can't win them all. But I really
like Darby. He's unique, he's different. I do think I think that
the whole debate about like, hey, should he have done it? Should
he not? To me, that is the time to do it if you
want to, because it's a bigger match to be a little selfish for him.
It's like, well, if people go back and watch the Things match,
ever, he's on it doing this crazy spot and it's his body,
right, he can decide. Now that being said, the whole his body
thing. Many wrestlers told many people, hey, you you don't want to
do that, you know, uh, like he's a GMO and I got
a pre injury card for you, and then they do it, and then
they get injured and then it kind of fox thing up. So I'm just
gonna drink of water. She just said that. So, yeah, I
think Darby can be something. I think he already is, right, but
I'm just curious to see the fault and I guess we gonna see if he
can win him mount Evers or climb out Averice, whatever it may be.
So that was good, Ocatta being in here, very happy about that,
just because okay, like it's similar Knakamura where Nackamore started good and now it's
just been like he's gone so far downhill. I don't want to see him.
You know. There's debate back and forth with some rumors will call it's
getting pretty fucking big penny, right, But o'canda, like, there's so
much still for him to do in aw, so many storylines on Resolved.
Think about him and Kenny, that's like a big one. There's other ones
as well. There's other moments like when he faced down or Pawk on Saturday's
like fuck Man, like O'cadaver's park Like for me, it's the wrestling base.
I know Cotta's gonna be able to get a twenty thirty minute match.
You can get tile match. If he's in tile match, you probably ge
an hour match, right. And that's why because Tony conn I think,
I don't know what you make for a film on but I feel like the
big new Japan guys, Tony really respects and loves wants to do stuff for
them, and I make a good career for them. Jay White can't make
a less stand it still we can't make when he signed uh and then what
was the other one? Uh? Ocada? Right, so he's getting all
this talent. Loved the heel turned. I thought that was smart because he's
been stuck in Japan and Okada is like an s Bubbs. You're in the
chat, maybe other people. Occada's gonna get a lot of hype and you
might see Ale matching, Oh what's the hype? But like it not took
me a while, but it took me a couple of months where I watched.
When I stopped at in the Terrible Years of like twenty seventeen, twenty
eighteen New onter Neon Japan started watching and I heard came up Kenny Omega all
about him watch the matches. The first New Japan match I ever watched was
that the or the Omega versus Okada. I was like, holy shit,
and I knew Olkada could go. And it's not like he's gonna be a
great promo here, but there was just something not clicking for me at the
time. It felt very much like early John Cena, and then he went
on a couple of runs like fuck man o'cata. He does have the goddamn
goods. He's everything that people say. So that's where I think it's smart
because or sorry, I should say the heel turns smart because they were never
gonna turn heel into Japan really to get booed up terrible mount. I don't
think at least if it was, it was something very short term. But
the heel turn is great because I just feel like he's been stuck as a
babyface for so long in Japan. Why not get those booze. He wants
to do some in different learn his craft a little bit. So yeah,
I'm very interested in uh excuse mega frog of my throat here. I'm very
interested in the story, especially when Kenny gets back hangman, if they suspend
him. If he gets back, I think he should be Addy Kingston for
the Continental Championship and then hold it to the next one seen go in the
tournament. But like I said, for pell I don't know a Katta.
You might be like, oh, I just I don't love it yet,
or you like, what's the big deal? It will click eventually he can
be fucking phenomenal. And that's the thing where for me of him being a
good wrestler, great wrestler, I think these are gonna be better for him
because there's just more options to Like I said before, go out there and
have a twenty five minute match. Great, let's go do it. We
might pick it out somewhere else. So but yeah, he'll caught. I
thought it was a great twist with the young Bucks with the elite now all
good stuff. Oh is there anything else that's happened, I don't think so
you don't think a major point, So yeah, I think I'll live there.
But yeah, the next time you hear me talking about wrestling, which
will be late this month, we'll be with the Cohorts, But anyone's s
Bubbs and David. I'm very excited to have them on here. Like I
said, I think we all like the same stuff in a way of sense
of like cool to each other. Be friends could hang out, but I
think there's a lot of takes that we're different on as far as how do
we view wrestling right, So we will see about that. But yeah,
ladies Jum, thank you very much. I promise when you hear from next
and not be boring.
