WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:06.839 Pump pump pump it up. Go It's pumpy season. Whoo. How excited 2 00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:10.960 are you? I am not that excited, but I'm excited for you. 3 00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:15.519 You don't like pumpkin flavored things. I like pumpkin flavored beers when they put 4 00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:19.120 the cinnamon sugar on the rent. Oh, so you just like cinnamon sugar. 5 00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:24.800 I like to just all over cinnamon sugar. I like pumpkin flavored coffee. 6 00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:28.320 I like pumpkin flavored doughnuts. I like pumpkin flavored muffins. I like 7 00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:32.399 pumpkin flavored everything. Give me all of the pumpkin flavor year round. I 8 00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:37.000 don't understand because it's not actual pumpkin. I don't know why we can't manufacture 9 00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:39.640 year round. It's kind of fucking bullshit. Now, I believe that what 10 00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:43.640 within a week or two, you'll be wearing your han solo outfit, no 11 00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:47.119 doubt. Yeah. I'll have a vest a longsleeve on underneath some leggings and 12 00:00:47.240 --> 00:01:03.359 some some high boots with some fur on them. Yeah. John King of 13 00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:17.079 Queen Middle Street entertain Goo and Dom Mac and we are the Mac and Goop 14 00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:21.560 program. We bring you friendship. Yeah, and today we're gonna bring you 15 00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:25.040 a little bit of heart and family ship. Is that a thing? Family 16 00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:30.359 Ship? It's definitely one of the best ships out there. Yeah. If 17 00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:34.359 we're talking ships, family Ship's gotta be up there. Today we're discussing Davies 18 00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:38.879 Ryan davis most anticipated movie of the year, Blue Beetle Goo. Blue Beetle 19 00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:42.280 is a movie. When it was announced, I don't know, two years 20 00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:47.000 ago, I would have bet probably like a hundred bucks this was never coming 21 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:49.920 up. I would have bet I believe at the start of the year that 22 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:53.640 this was not going to come out, even up until last month, possibly 23 00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:56.200 last week, that this was not going to come out. Yeah, it's 24 00:01:56.239 --> 00:02:00.640 just it's blowing both of our minds that we're here and we got this movie. 25 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:04.879 But I'm not saying it's bad. I'm just surprised that it came out. 26 00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:07.080 That's yeah. Yeah, you know, they canceled the background movie. 27 00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:10.280 There's been all sorts of happenings at DC. You know, obviously James Gunn 28 00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:15.520 taking over. Now you say it doesn't stink, but does it stick out? 29 00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:19.319 Uh no, but maybe that's a good thing. Ultimately, I don't 30 00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:22.120 know if it is. We don't know, and I don't think anyone of 31 00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:24.159 this movie knows if they're going to be back for another movie, so they 32 00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:28.199 probably had to play it safe. Hope, you know, hope the character 33 00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.639 in the movie was well received, and then maybe they'll pop up in James. 34 00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:36.199 Not to spoil anything here, but we don't know if this is ending 35 00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.520 a run, if it's beginning a run, if it's nothing. We know 36 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:44.400 nothing. We know nothing, And I'll be honest with you, no one 37 00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:49.240 besides Peter Saffron and James Gunn know what the hell's going And also they mentioned, 38 00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:52.599 you know, we're gonna have those Elseworld movies. They're not gonna have 39 00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:57.800 anything to do with our continuity. If they just did a trilogy of these 40 00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.080 three movies off on their own, that might not be the worst thing either. 41 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:05.120 Yeah. Maybe, And speaking of not knowing what's going on, I 42 00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:08.759 would like to include every DC fan in that, because what we're gonna get 43 00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:14.680 into in a couple of minutes here is the absolute abomination that is DC fans 44 00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:19.879 reviewing DC movies. None, I'll tell you right now, none of the 45 00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:23.159 audience scores makes sense, and that's it's absolutely mind blowingly go through this. 46 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:30.599 But Goo Yes, Blue Beetle is I guess the sixteenth entry into the Dcut, 47 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:34.520 Yeah, or the first into the James Gunns DCU, We're not sure, 48 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:38.719 the other fifteen or fourteen movies, and then of course the one season 49 00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:43.479 of Peacemaker. This is a PG thirteen action adventure in sci fi with the 50 00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:46.360 runtime of one hundred and twenty seven minutes, so just over two hours. 51 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:52.039 Goo. Speaking of those ratings on Rod Tomatoes currently seventy six percent from the 52 00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:55.599 critics, ninety two percent from the audience, and Goo, those rate if 53 00:03:55.639 --> 00:04:00.400 you include Peacemaker in all of this, Yes, that's the sixth highest critic 54 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:04.400 percentage. I'm not tomatoes, the second highest audience percentage. Goo. And 55 00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:06.719 do you want to hear what the top four is from the audience? The 56 00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:12.159 mount rushmore of dc EU movies according to the audience. Give it to me, 57 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:15.399 and then I'll explain why I think it's so high. Okay, Number 58 00:04:15.399 --> 00:04:19.279 one Good at ninety three percent, the Snyder Cut, Number two is this 59 00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:25.040 Blue Beetle, Number three Black Adam at eighty eight percent, and then number 60 00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:28.759 four is Shazam Fury of the Gods at eighty six percent. So the reason 61 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:33.639 why I think this is so high is while I don't believe that it is 62 00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:38.120 the best movie out of the bunch. I like some of the weirder selections. 63 00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:45.519 I believe that this might be the most coherent, cohesive, and well 64 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.000 put together story that they've done so far. Yeah, I don't think you 65 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:51.519 don't really need to make an argument for this movie. This movie is legitimately 66 00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:55.959 a decent movie. It's definitely a movie, right, It's well made, 67 00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.680 there's some good acting in here. I really like the lead who I've never 68 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:02.160 seen anything before. And Goo, now that I'm thinking about it, you 69 00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:04.680 could argue that the Snyder cut's not involved in any of this at all. 70 00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:09.600 So this is you could argue this is the highest rated dc EU movie. 71 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:14.360 Like I was gonna make this example during the hot Dogs. But so I 72 00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.959 would still take The Flash over this. But that's because I love Michael Keaton. 73 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:21.720 But if you said to me, Goo, you have to recommend a 74 00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:27.199 movie to somebody, here are these two movies, Blue Beetle or The Flash, 75 00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.920 and keep in mind they know nothing about anything, I would say watch 76 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.639 Blue Beetle. You know what, it's a good point. I have The 77 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:41.120 Flash definitively ahead of this movie in my year rankings, in my dc EU 78 00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:45.920 rankings, but you're right, if you were just a common movie goer that 79 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:50.720 has not watched all other fifteen DCU probably the ones from the eighties the nineties, 80 00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:55.199 I think Blue Beetle's gonna be the better watch for that person. That's 81 00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:58.240 that's actually a good You can pick this up. You don't need to watch 82 00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:00.720 any of the other movies. True, and maybe at the end of it 83 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:05.160 too, that's a bit of a detracting factor, a detractor because it doesn't 84 00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:09.040 connect to anything at all. We don't know what universes, but also people 85 00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:13.319 might be sick of shared universes and they're in on stuff like this. I 86 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:17.920 don't know. Yeah, But so anyways, back to DC fans being fucking 87 00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:24.720 idiots. Uh, those top four and are then preceded by Wonder Woman at 88 00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:27.839 eighty three percent, the Flash at eighty three percent, the Suicide Squad at 89 00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:30.160 eighty two percent, and Szamin eighty two percent. To me, those are 90 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:32.839 probably the best four. Yeah, I would agree with you, But I'm 91 00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:38.040 also gonna ask you the question of who is going on Rotten Tomatoes and putting 92 00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:41.519 a user review in DC fans. No, but I'm just saying, like 93 00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:46.920 we need to question rotten Tomato people are DC fans. They fucking came out 94 00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.600 in droves, like four hundred thousand people to review the Snyder Cut. Most 95 00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:57.240 of those are robots on Metacritic, and by the way, I think, 96 00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:01.959 uh, I gotta give the critics credit here for accurately portraying the DCU. 97 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:06.120 I think they've pretty much nailed it from top to bottom, especially on Metacritic. 98 00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:12.160 Here this is the fourth highest rated movie with a sixty one fifth overall 99 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:14.920 of you let me ask you, and you know, I know the answer. 100 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:17.800 But for the people at home is a sixty one good for a comic 101 00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:20.680 book movie. It's probably about average sixties. And you know what, this 102 00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:26.639 movie pretty average? Yeah, yep, played it safe, did some good 103 00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:30.800 things, didn't stick out a ton and again maybe that's gonna bother some people. 104 00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:34.800 I but considering what we've gotten in DC, I think they made the 105 00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:38.759 reddist bothers me a little bit. But go ahead. The top three on 106 00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:41.759 Metacritic, by the way, Wonder Woman, The Suicide Squad, and Shazam, 107 00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:44.879 which are my top three, I think they're all above everything else. 108 00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:46.480 That's because you just look at the metacritics and you're like, I think, 109 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:53.279 like these people, do you know your own opinion? The bottom three go 110 00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:57.560 are BBS at a forty four, Black Adam at a forty one, and 111 00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:01.360 Suicide Squad. I didn't realize Black Adam at a forty one. Yeah, 112 00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.519 critics did not like Black Adam. Black Adam had a really bad rotten Tomato 113 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:09.560 credits in this movie. So Black Adam also did a bunch of stuff that 114 00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:15.680 was super tropy, but it wasn't good. This movie also did a bunch 115 00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:20.360 of super trophy origin story stuff, but it was at least adequate. And 116 00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:26.839 I also think a massive factor in the difference between the two movies is Black 117 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:30.240 Adam had the biggest movie star in the world as the starring role, and 118 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:33.519 this movie has a relative unknown. He was in Cobra Kai, so some 119 00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:37.080 people know him from there. I've never seen him in anything before, so 120 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.320 like that to me is preferable, especially for a character I know nothing. 121 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:46.480 Also, the surrounding cast around the main character here. I thought that everyone 122 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.799 in the family, maybe you can make an argument for George Lopez is very 123 00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:54.879 charming and you believe that they love each other, and to that point in 124 00:08:54.960 --> 00:09:00.000 Black Adam, they try to force feed you that family thing. Yeah, 125 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:03.759 and in this it just comes natural and it comes off as natural. It's 126 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.279 it's much better written in this than it is in Black Adam. In fact, 127 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:11.240 the family element in this reminds me a lot of the themes and the 128 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:15.480 tones that the first Shazam movie played with. I would say, yes, 129 00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:18.919 but they played a little bit differently, and I think it hit just a 130 00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:24.080 smidge better in this. Yes. Oh okay, I don't know if I 131 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:31.000 agree with that, but it's both movies might have made me cry for different 132 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.039 reasons. Yeah, I got you. I actually thought about that while I 133 00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:35.720 was watching this movie that I thought about it too. Let's bring that back 134 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.639 up during spoilers, because I have a very weird take on it. Now, 135 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:43.360 okay, all right, good. This movie is written by Gareth Dunnett, 136 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:48.919 also als Sir Alco Sir A Lco c e er. I don't I 137 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.960 don't know how to pronounce that goo. You wouldn't know him from a fucking 138 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.240 thing. You've never seen or heard anything he's done before. Here's something that's 139 00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:01.600 very intriguing on his IMDb p upcoming. He is writing a movie called El 140 00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:07.120 Muerto, and it's about a wrestler who gains superpowers. Through a mystical mask 141 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:13.799 who originally fought Spider Man in a charity wrestling match in which he nearly unmasked 142 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:18.519 the Web Slinger before being stung by Spider Man with a paralyzing poison. I 143 00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:24.200 have no idea what any of that sentence means. So intrigued by El Muerto, 144 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:26.360 I'm gonna have to see El Muerto if it ever gets made. So 145 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:30.799 sorry from staring off to the Sider, I'm trying to read that sentence again 146 00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:33.159 and make heads or tales of it. But I will say one of the 147 00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:37.879 best parts of this movie I felt like was the writing and the storytelling and 148 00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:41.720 the soul of this movie also, and that comes from this gentleman, very 149 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:45.399 Spider Man like soul to the story as well, for sure. Yeah, 150 00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.799 definitely some elements of that in here. Good. This movie is directed by 151 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.159 Angel or on Hell. I don't know how he pronounces it. Manuel Soto 152 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:56.879 also pretty much a first timer. You would know an absolutely nothing on his 153 00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:01.080 IMDb page, which is pretty impressive considering that this movie has a whole lot 154 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:05.759 of no ones besides George Lopez, and it performed pretty well. It's gonna 155 00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:13.159 outperform the box office box office expectation. It's outperforming any of the critic in 156 00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.440 audience scores. We thought, so sort of a round of applause for everyone 157 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:18.240 involved in this, right, And also you mentioned George Lopez. I thought 158 00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:22.200 that he was fine in this, but I think you could have found someone 159 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:24.519 else that was also a no name or just anybody else, and I think 160 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.480 they might have done better. I think Lopez was like, they're like, 161 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.960 all right, we gotta get one like B list celebrities. I understand that. 162 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.039 No, I know, and I you know while I was watching, 163 00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:37.480 and I agree with you, but I feel like someone else could have nailed. 164 00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:39.960 And maybe it's because I saw this movie in a theater with heart. 165 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:43.399 Maybe yes, Kevin Hart, Kevin Hart should have been the Mexican uncle. 166 00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.799 When I was watching this movie, there were only four people in my theater. 167 00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:52.279 So when I didn't laugh at a joke, So generally, when I'm 168 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.320 in a movie theater and I don't laugh at a joke, I will listen 169 00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:58.679 for other people laughing at the jokes to make sure that like, maybe I'm 170 00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:03.159 just laughing, but the joke still hits. But when you're there with only 171 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.759 four other people, you sometime question, like is this joke bombing. Is 172 00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:11.759 this not a good joke? So that might be kind of missing on me 173 00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:15.679 too. I went to a theater that wasn't packed, but there was a 174 00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:18.440 good amount of people, and there was everyone laughing at George Lopez. It's 175 00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:22.399 like two of the last four times I've gone. Now, the people directly 176 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:26.039 behind me, it was like three girls and two boys, all maybe about 177 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:28.120 twelve years old. I was gonna fight all fucking five of them. They 178 00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:31.240 each got up to go to the bathroom three times. They were fucking whispering 179 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.200 behind me. I was legit ready to go to jail because of these fucking 180 00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:37.519 idiots. I just can't stand the theater etiquette these days. Did they have 181 00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:48.039 a trampoline and they were jumping at slow motion? Shut out, cutstance. 182 00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:52.519 Marie give a synopsis of Blue Beetle. An alien scare him chooses college graduate 183 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:58.440 him Reyes to be its symbiotic host, bestowing the teenager with a suit of 184 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:03.480 armor that's capable of extraordinary and unpredictable powers, forever changing his destiny as he 185 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:07.879 becomes the superhero known as Blue Beetle. And here's a huge issue too. 186 00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:11.720 If you're looking at someone who's like, oh, you know, I'm sick 187 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:16.279 of all these comic book movies. That seems like something that AI could have 188 00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:18.399 written and said, hey, take a bunch of Marvel movies and put it 189 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:24.960 into one character. There is a lot of things in this movie that symbiote 190 00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:31.879 Iron Man suit, this movie, uh, this character and of course you 191 00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:35.399 and I, so you know, take this with a with a grain of 192 00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:37.799 sand, as you do anything, salt to it. It's to say, 193 00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:41.080 yes, sand, salt whatever. They're both small grains, both tastes great 194 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:46.200 on your sandwich. I couldn't want to say French fries. There we go. 195 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:54.320 Okay, yeah, you found it. There salt goes on. That's 196 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:58.399 fries. Number one answer in the board. Yes, we don't know fucking 197 00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:01.720 thing about lue beetles. So this is also part of sheer ignorance. But 198 00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:07.399 this character has a little bit of Iron Man nanotech, a little bit of 199 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:11.879 Green Lantern, can do whatever the fuck he wants with his imagination. And 200 00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:15.399 also because he's a younger hero, there's a little bit of like a Spider 201 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:18.559 Man thing going on here as well, more specifically Spider Man dealing with a 202 00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:22.600 Tony Stark suit. He doesn't know how to deal with it. So he's 203 00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:26.080 learning on the fly and the AI is kind of guiding him. Also very 204 00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:30.559 similar to like an ant man too, once again not knowing how to use 205 00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:33.639 the suit, but then also having a mirror villain who's you know, trying 206 00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:37.720 to use the suit for safety reasons. Well, I was actually more. 207 00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:41.600 I mean, those things are true. I was referring more to him sort 208 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:45.360 of being like a Peter Parker type of No. I agree, but I'm 209 00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:48.559 just want to toss more things. He uses a hammer at one point, 210 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:52.240 Thor has a hammer. Well it felt green lantern like because he can detect 211 00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:56.200 anything with the ring. That's that's the vibes I'm getting. It's like shield 212 00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:01.559 with the Captain America logo on it. Dude, this any stars? Uh 213 00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:07.679 zolo x o l o Zolo married Duana as him. I thought he was 214 00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:11.799 good. I thought he was awesome. He was really really nice job. 215 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:16.320 I'm looking forward. I'm you know, this movie wasn't the greatest thing ever, 216 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:18.120 but he was good enough that I actually hope we see him going for 217 00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:20.399 Also, let me say this. I know that I'm making a lot of 218 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:26.679 jokes right now, but this cast is actually really good and I love the 219 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:30.519 family in it. I love the people that are portraying the family. I 220 00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:35.039 thought, also, the girl who is playing Jenny Cord, you're about to 221 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:39.720 say her name, Bruna Marcazine. I believe she is. I don't think 222 00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:43.200 the character is great at the beginning, but around the halfway point she kicks 223 00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:50.799 into gear. Really the week length, the big stand out of Like she 224 00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:54.559 Stinks is Susan Sarandon. Oh yeah, Susans, I thought you're talking about 225 00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.399 the family. Still, No, no, No, family's great. First 226 00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:04.600 of all in a marcusine. Very attractive female, so that definitely helps helps 227 00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:08.879 you through the parts where she's not acting all that great credit to whoever cast 228 00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:14.720 this movie because she is taller than Zolo. Yeah, you're right, you're 229 00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:17.279 right, and so that gives a little gives a little bit of hope to 230 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:22.679 all of our short kings. Is that what they're element there? Is that 231 00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:25.039 what they're called? You would know you're under six feet? I don't know. 232 00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:29.360 Oh, let's let's hammer this out real quick. We were asked who 233 00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:33.159 is taller online? I think we're the same height. No, I'm definitely 234 00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:37.000 at least an inch, if not too I might give you a half inch 235 00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:41.480 I'm listed at six foot that's a lie. I'm also listed at five eleven, 236 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:44.279 but I'm not. I'm at least five eleven. Yeah, you're five 237 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:45.639 eleven. I'm five ten and a half. And when I have my hair, 238 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:48.320 I'm taller than you. All right, no, no, no, 239 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:52.480 no, yeah, I'll throw my hair back out if I have to. 240 00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:56.720 What. Becky g plays the Ai voice, the scare of voice, the 241 00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:03.480 symbiote Kajada. Damian Alcazar plays the father, Alberto Rays George Lopez the uncle, 242 00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:08.119 Rudy Reyes. Adriana Barrazza as Nana Reys. I did not care for 243 00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:11.640 Nana. I'll tell you that I didn't care for the I thought the character 244 00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:18.079 wasn't the best. It was too much. They did too much. I 245 00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:21.039 did forget to mention. This is that. Alberto Reyes, the father, 246 00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:25.400 played by Damian Alcazar. I loved him. He was great. He was 247 00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:30.160 wonderful. Yes, yea very good. Yeah. Melissa Escobetto as Milligro Reys, 248 00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:33.680 she was the sister. I thought she was great at being like the 249 00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:37.559 annoying younger sister. She really nailed that. Elpitia Carillo as Rosso Rays. 250 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:41.720 That's the mother. Susan Surranded as Victoria Chord As Goose said, she was 251 00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:47.039 fucking terrible, Like not just a bad character. I thought that she completely 252 00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:49.400 you know what, very kind of reminded me of And maybe it's just because 253 00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:55.599 they both have red hair. But what's her name in the second Kingsman movie, 254 00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:59.319 Oh, Julianne Moore. Yes, a little bit like that. Well, 255 00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:02.720 at least Julie and Moore was going for like a bit a character. 256 00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:07.079 Yeah, Susan Surandon does not even try in this movie. Already look alike 257 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:10.680 to me. I'm sorry, it's terrible. Uh it was. It was 258 00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:15.839 actually really annoying because the character stinks, right, but an actress with the 259 00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:18.200 panache of Susan Surrandon should be able to punch that up a little bit, 260 00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:22.279 and she failed miserably. Yeah, Harvey Giann plays her like right hand man 261 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:26.839 doctor Sanchez, which I'll say this. There was a point in the movie 262 00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:29.599 and I know that they, you know, wanted him to be Hispanic, 263 00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:33.599 but I said to myself, this guy should be played by Wayne Knight, 264 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:37.079 Like it's the perfect Wayne Knight role. What are we doing, folks? 265 00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:41.960 Wayne Knights too too much of a bad guy. You need like a nicer 266 00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:44.920 guy than that, but that type. But that would have been a great 267 00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:48.519 turn because you assume he's a bad guy and then maybe he there's the opposite 268 00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:52.839 of a heel turn. What's that called face turn? A face turn? 269 00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:57.799 Yeah, he goes uh oh, I just had it in my fucking head. 270 00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:04.640 What is French fries? He goes French fries and then goo. Finally, 271 00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:11.359 the last person worth mentioning here is Raoul Max Trahelo as Carapas. He 272 00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:15.240 was like the the extension of Victoria Chord. He was the big bad the 273 00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:21.720 person that had to fight. He Actually that character sucked. I thought he 274 00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:23.960 did a pretty decent job when he was asked to act a little bit, 275 00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:29.480 and by the end it wasn't terrible. They at least gave him a little 276 00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.359 something to you know, have you nibble on there. But between him and 277 00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:37.519 the faceless bad guys that they just kind of ran through once again, it's 278 00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:41.599 just stuff that we've seen, no doubt, no doubt. They just played 279 00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:47.440 it real conservative. And I also know, like it's hard to do anything 280 00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:51.440 different because they are still drawing from the comics and like that's a character from 281 00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:53.279 the comics too, So they are doing what they're supposed to do. It's 282 00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:57.400 just fifteen years too late. Yeah, well, I said that to myself. 283 00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:02.519 This is the first time anyone's e said this that if this movie came 284 00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:06.119 out ten years ago, I didn't I would have loved it. Yeah, 285 00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:10.799 I think you're If this came out right around the time of Guardians, it 286 00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:14.759 would have done. It would have been an absolute banger. Good. Yes. 287 00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:17.839 For the folks that are listening right now and have not seen the movie 288 00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:19.240 and plan on going to see, it's still spoil it free for a bid. 289 00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:25.240 Here, there's one mid credit scene which could end up being meaningful going 290 00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:27.519 forward. We really have no idea. And then there is a post credit 291 00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:32.599 that's one of the worst post credits. Let me go ahead and do an 292 00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:37.319 all waste of your little christ Are you? Tweeted that out and I said, 293 00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:41.400 oh, Max's probably over exaggerating. I'm gonna go ahead and stick around 294 00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:48.559 the extra five minutes you weren't. It is the worst post credit scene that 295 00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:52.680 just don't waste your time with it. That's what it is. It's a 296 00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:55.960 waste of time. It's useless. Yes, there's zero payoff there. It's 297 00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:59.839 terrible. There is like there's no joke to it. No, there's not 298 00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:03.680 it continue to joke for the movie. That was not funny. And even 299 00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:07.480 if we understood what the reference is, if there is a reference, maybe 300 00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:10.400 we would have gotten I giggled during the movie. Actually, the guy laughing 301 00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:12.359 at it during the movie did make me laughing, like that's kind of funny. 302 00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:15.640 But yes, maybe we did miss out on it. Maybe we miss 303 00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:18.279 something maybe, and that's part of it. I will say, as much 304 00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:22.680 as we you know, semi like this movie, Latin director, Latin writer, 305 00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:25.839 I'm sure there were some Easter eggs and some some things in here that 306 00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:27.880 we didn't pick up on. Maybe that's one of them. But boy was 307 00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:32.599 that. Oh we'll also toss us out there too. Representation matters, Yes, 308 00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:38.640 there you go. You also as a footnote at the twenty five minute 309 00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:45.079 mark. That's the only time we're gonna say it. As we said above, 310 00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:51.480 there's zero indication whether this is in or out of the DCU. We 311 00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:56.359 have no fucking clue. The only thing we know about Blue Beetle is basically 312 00:21:56.400 --> 00:22:02.039 that he's attached to Booster Gold at the hip. So thing that happens in 313 00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:06.319 this mid credit scene might tie into that. We'll get to that in spoilers, 314 00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:08.559 it's sort of more of a fan theory than anything. That's the only 315 00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:12.000 real glimmer of hope. But other than that, we can get to the 316 00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:15.519 gautlet. Oh before we get to the gauntlet. There's, first off, 317 00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:19.119 a bunch of boner jokes in this movie, So credit there, but there's 318 00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:23.960 one once he even covers up. Yeah, there's well there. So he's 319 00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:29.200 wearing a sweatsuit. Yeah, and he gets an erection, yeah, because 320 00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:32.759 Bruna is very hot, and he does this thing where like he pulls his 321 00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:34.759 shirt over it and kind of like fixes from the bottom. And it makes 322 00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:38.440 me think of back when we were in high school when we would get narbs 323 00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:44.880 and we'd have to like take it and put it into our waistbands to hide 324 00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:47.160 it for a little bit, like if we had to go from class to 325 00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:52.000 class. Good, Yeah, I was, you know, I'm I live 326 00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:56.839 a life of leisure here, always have, always will. I wore sweatpants 327 00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:00.720 at every forsaken opportunity in my whole life and all always will very comfortable. 328 00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:06.440 There was a certain point in middle school when I realized middle school of high 329 00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:08.720 school that you know, a couple of years transition. Oh, I gotta 330 00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:12.799 put the sweatpants away for a couple of months here because I'm gonna have a 331 00:23:12.839 --> 00:23:15.319 boner. I'm gonna have a boner walking down the hallway. I'm gonna need 332 00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:21.799 to wear jeans, maybe maybe some khakis. But it is not hashtag sweatpants 333 00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:23.519 season round here once again, Like I said, what you would do is 334 00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:26.519 you just put it in the sweatband waste and just make sure that your shirt 335 00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:33.160 was long enough because you don't want that to show. Yeah, and well, 336 00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:36.640 I don't know. I'm speaking from from the Irish perspective here. We 337 00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:38.720 all we all know that you have a wrench, so maybe you just kind 338 00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:41.839 of let it hung out there. You know. I'm trying to think if 339 00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:44.960 I would do that with jeans on too, because that's that's not safe. 340 00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:48.799 Well, you you are a real tight gene wear. I wasn't super tight 341 00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:52.160 gene wear when I was in high school though. Maybe that's true. Yeah, 342 00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:53.200 maybe that's true. I was a little bag here. I had my 343 00:23:53.319 --> 00:24:00.200 Vans, my audios on. You know, I had my Zeppelin shirt and 344 00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:03.000 a horrible head of hair on you, I had a beautiful head of hair. 345 00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:06.200 Well, one year I had a beautiful head of hair. One year. 346 00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:07.839 It was a real rats nast. When you died at Blonde, that 347 00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:11.480 was the worst thing you've ever done. That was the beginning of the end 348 00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:18.839 of my life. So we get into the Gauntlet air. Yeah, okay, 349 00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:22.880 all right, Mac fun factor, And I think that is one of 350 00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:26.599 the issues of the movie is that it does lack a little in the fun 351 00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:30.119 Like it is cool seeing him use his power as a bit, but I 352 00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:36.680 didn't find it very funny, and that did take away from it. Yeah, 353 00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:40.160 the way I'm looking at this because I also like, wasn't that bored 354 00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:42.519 throut? And I never thought to myself like, oh, like this needs 355 00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:47.440 a bunch more. I thought it was like fun enough for most of the 356 00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:52.279 run time. It's neither hysterical nor is there It's not like a big adventure 357 00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:55.599 either, but it was just kind of fun enough throughout to make it work 358 00:24:56.000 --> 00:25:00.400 satisfactor. And there was one part of the movie where you know he's finally 359 00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:06.559 realizing who he is and he's becoming this hero and he breaks through the shackles 360 00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:14.160 and then you hear this swelling music of just now listen up. Here's a 361 00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:18.400 story about a little guy who lives in a blue world. And then he 362 00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:30.640 starts kicking ass to the music. Now, if this movie was directed by 363 00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:33.240 a white man, that song, no doubt would have made it into the 364 00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:38.519 movie. I would have done what Taikawatiti did with Immigrant Song and Thor and 365 00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:47.279 used it a hundred times go. It also lacks like a big standout moment 366 00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:49.079 which ties in the pants tensity a little bit, but also in a satisfactor 367 00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:53.240 here it was like satisfying to see him, you know, become the full 368 00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:57.519 blue Beeto sort of thing. I also was pretty satisfied by the conclusion of 369 00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:00.720 the movie too, to be honest with you. So there are some satisfying 370 00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:06.759 things in here, but it's not like crazily satisfying borometer and I thought it 371 00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:11.559 was a bit boring in its trophy nature. But I will say that like 372 00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:15.720 they when they introduced a trope, they didn't go like full into it. 373 00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:18.759 They would divert it just enough so that it wasn't the complete same as everything 374 00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:22.559 else. And also at the beginning of the third act it did drag for 375 00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:26.799 me quite a bit. Yeah, not so much for me. I actually 376 00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:30.920 thought, for two hours and seven minutes this was paced really well. We 377 00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:33.880 got to it felt like we got to the third act super fucking quick, 378 00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:38.000 so I actually didn't have really any born in this movie at all. A 379 00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:42.319 equator, is it better than twenty seventeen's Aquaman? Now, I still might 380 00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:47.359 enjoy the cheesiness of Aquaman over this, But like I already said, this 381 00:26:47.440 --> 00:26:52.359 is a it's a far superior movie. It's an easier it's an easier recommendation 382 00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:57.720 Halloween. Will my interest in this movie wane over time. I don't think 383 00:26:57.759 --> 00:27:03.920 I'm ever gonna rewatch or even remember most of this. Yeah, I don't 384 00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:08.279 blame you or anyone for coming away with that feeling. My take on this 385 00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:14.200 is we have no idea if this means anything going forward or how this is 386 00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:18.400 going to play out with the DCU. So maybe there will be reason to 387 00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:21.799 come back to us at some point, but currently there there really isn't. 388 00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:26.359 What if James Gunn does a Twitter poll should discount what would you vote? 389 00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:30.400 I would say yes, I would say yes, you know what? I 390 00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:33.599 think? I'd say yes too, Yeah it's good enough, unless he's like, 391 00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:37.240 it'll play. Then I'd be like, okay, well then don't. 392 00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:40.720 Why would you ask us if if you aren't sure? Why would you ask 393 00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:47.039 us that's what I would say, pot pants tense City Excite bike Mania. 394 00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:52.559 Even with the mirror villain, there were some parts of the fights that I'm 395 00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:56.079 like, oh, that's pretty cool. Unless you want to count the Bruno 396 00:27:56.119 --> 00:28:00.359 Marcazine pants tent factor here, there's not really a pants ten and I would 397 00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:03.039 say, actually, there's tons of pants tense in this movie. In the 398 00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:07.880 movie itself, he's just rocket a boner constantly. And also there's like the 399 00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:10.400 one scene where is like, I can't fly and they're like, well, 400 00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:12.839 just take it slow, don't think too hard about it, and then George 401 00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:17.119 Lopez is like, no, just jump right in there. That was actually 402 00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:22.079 his best joke in the movie. There was definitely some cool stuff with the 403 00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:25.359 tech, like nanotech type looking stuff that we've seen in an Iron Man, 404 00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:27.920 some Green Landing looking type stuff, so that that was some fun stuff, 405 00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:33.799 but again it gets taken away because we've seen it somewhere before. Max Credit 406 00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:37.960 Union and I would like to give credits to the family aspect of this movie. 407 00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:41.599 Yeah, I'll backside one eighty off of that. It's sort of in 408 00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:47.759 the same vein here. Credit to Gareth Dunnett Alcacer. Alcacer, the writer 409 00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:52.799 of this movie. Who wrote this script with the heart and the family element 410 00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:56.039 in this baked in. It didn't go out of its way to give you 411 00:28:56.119 --> 00:29:00.240 that. It just felt right and natural in the movie, and honestly is 412 00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:03.839 what carries the movie. And I think, I mean that was what five 413 00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:07.119 years ago now, when the first Shazam came out. That was like such 414 00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:10.759 a nice thing coming away from Shazam because as much as we have liked these 415 00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:15.839 Marvel movies, there haven't been a ton of like family type elements in the 416 00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:19.119 Marvel movies. That's been any of the thor movies. That's a nice, 417 00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:22.440 like little niche that we've seen in DC a couple of times. Now. 418 00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:26.000 For those of you Tardi to the Mac and Goop party, we rate everything 419 00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:30.880 on a forty hot dog rating system, and Mac, I don't want to 420 00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:34.960 undersell this. The family dynamic is dynamite and you feel, like I said 421 00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:40.559 earlier, they would do all of this stuff for each other. You never 422 00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:45.839 once question. Yes, absolutely, the cast is good. Zolo Mardueno is 423 00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:48.599 likable as the leading man. George Lopez is funny enough. The mother is 424 00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:52.160 good, the sister is good. I didn't mind the grandmother. The character 425 00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:55.960 of Jenny Ford. I thought little stale at the beginning. What did I 426 00:29:56.039 --> 00:30:00.079 say, Ford? Yeah? Ford, What did I say? It's Cord, 427 00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:06.039 you said Ford, gazoom tight, little stale at the beginning, but 428 00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:11.200 midway through I did like her along. Damian al kass Hour is awesome. 429 00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:14.640 I think the father is wonderful in this. Also, it is very very 430 00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:18.000 well made. The big issue here is Susan Sarandon, her character. Also, 431 00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:23.279 Chord stinks terrible. The storyline sucks. It's something that we've seen a 432 00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:26.799 million times, and speaking of a million times, just the Origin tropes, 433 00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:30.440 the mirror villain with you know, same tech, but we're trying to use 434 00:30:30.480 --> 00:30:33.160 it in as safe. We're trying to keep the world safe with it, 435 00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:40.000 when in fact they're not learning your powers. The reluctant hero, the suit, 436 00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:42.880 you know, he's too invincible, he can't be killed, kind of 437 00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:48.160 the death of a family member to help you reach your potential. It's just 438 00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:52.559 stuff that we've seen a million times. And also it's not It's funny enough, 439 00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:56.599 but it isn't funny. Ha ha. I have this around thirty one 440 00:30:56.640 --> 00:31:00.720 hot Dogs. Yeah, I think I'm feeling very similar to you for the 441 00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:06.759 most part. You're feeling twenty three. I thought it was a very solid 442 00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:11.880 origin story, not necessarily good, but good enough did the job. What 443 00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:15.279 I did really like about it was weaving in the older Blue Beetles stuff with 444 00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:19.160 the Scarab like the older Chord tech with the Scarab stuff. I thought they 445 00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:25.720 did a good job with that decent comedy couple. Ha has no real hysterical 446 00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:29.319 belly laughing here, and again, like Goose said, there's a really good 447 00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:33.440 heart to this movie. It's giving me Shazam vibes with the family dynamic. 448 00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:37.799 And also again you have some Spider Man young hero type stuff going on, 449 00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:41.599 so that's that's a nice little dynamic as well. I thought this was movie 450 00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:45.119 was very well paced. I also liked the music selection in here. Good 451 00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:56.519 music, good score. It elevated the movie a little bit. I thought 452 00:31:56.559 --> 00:32:00.200 going with a relative unknown Zolo in that role the role was a great call. 453 00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:04.519 He was very good and again I'd like to see him going forward. 454 00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:07.480 And as I mentioned before, going with a Latin director and writer, I 455 00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:12.119 felt like they had like a pretty clear vision together. They knew the movie 456 00:32:12.119 --> 00:32:15.160 they wanted to put together and they delivered that. And I'm sure there's stuff 457 00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:19.240 in here that we're not appreciating that other people will. Again, We've seen 458 00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:21.960 everything in this movie a thousand times, but it was done well enough. 459 00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:27.400 The biggest downside here is the villains and the quote unquote bads in this movie. 460 00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:32.960 Susan Sarandon's what is it? What Vulk was she? Or what Vulk 461 00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:39.039 was her name? Vulk the vu Chord Chord, Victoria Chord, that's her 462 00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:43.119 name. She was fucking terrible. I'm sure the character is supposed to be 463 00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:45.880 one note, but she could have done a better job. She just didn't 464 00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:49.440 feel like it. And of course the mirror villain was not that good. 465 00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:52.759 Although I did sort of like how that called, you know, she reminded 466 00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:59.599 me of actually is Lucy lu in the last Jasim movie? Actually comparison, 467 00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:02.000 I bad for Lucy Lou and the lash Zam movie. I didn't feel bad 468 00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:07.559 for Susan Sarandon in this Ignore me go on do. I also did not 469 00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:09.880 really care for anything surrounding the grandmother. That was a little too much too 470 00:33:09.880 --> 00:33:13.960 goofy for me, A little too goofy. I do have this At thirty 471 00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:15.920 two hot Dogs, I was like thirty one thirty two leaving the theater, 472 00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:21.279 I'm comfortable with thirty two. This is my fifteenth best movie of twenty twenty 473 00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:25.119 three. It's sitting number five in my DCU rankings, maybe six. I 474 00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:28.680 guess if you want to throw a peacemaker in there, it's right in that 475 00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:31.119 sort of same range. This definitely has an argument though an argument can be 476 00:33:31.119 --> 00:33:35.440 made that this is in the top four of the DCU. I probably wouldn't 477 00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:37.599 make it, but I could see someone making that argument. The Blue the 478 00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:42.440 movies below this movie are like well below in the DCU for me. Like, 479 00:33:42.480 --> 00:33:45.359 to me, this is like maybe the bottom of that second tier, 480 00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:50.640 and then below this there's a there's a pretty steep drop off to the next 481 00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:53.960 tier of movies. So this is this is a legit, well done movie. 482 00:33:54.079 --> 00:33:59.039 I think it deserves whatever praise it's been getting so far. I think 483 00:33:59.079 --> 00:34:01.880 a little bit is because it's it's it's a bit of a surprise that the 484 00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:06.880 just this didn't suck. But you know what, let's get let's have DC 485 00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:07.920 get a win. We'll give him one. Yeah, I would say that 486 00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:12.119 I probably have it either fifth or six this top of my head, I 487 00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:16.840 would have it below Wonder Woman, Shazam, Suicide Squad, the suicide squad. 488 00:34:16.880 --> 00:34:22.599 Sorry, right, yeah, I would have it below the Flash would 489 00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:25.840 have it below the Snyder cut by just a smidge. Snyder Kirk just took 490 00:34:25.840 --> 00:34:31.920 a couple more chances. I do like the chances over the easier move I 491 00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:36.079 can't. Oh, and Peacemaker, it's like right around Peacemaker, I got 492 00:34:36.079 --> 00:34:39.039 Flash fourth, and then I have this Peacemaker and Man of Steel sort of 493 00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:44.800 all in the same range. Shall we start spoiling? Yeah, spoilers, 494 00:34:44.800 --> 00:34:47.199 spoilers, mac. First things first, we talked about it at the beginning, 495 00:34:47.480 --> 00:34:50.679 or I just talked about it once again during my hot Dogs. But 496 00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:54.239 in this movie, in order for Blue Beetle to you know, really discover 497 00:34:54.360 --> 00:35:00.320 who he is, to achieve his ultimate blue self, I prettymaturely blue myself. 498 00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:04.239 I wish I had that on the board. But his dad has to 499 00:35:04.320 --> 00:35:07.679 die. Yeah, and the scene of his dad dying got me a little 500 00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:15.840 reclemped. You know, they didn't do it stupidly either. It was actually 501 00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:20.159 they lay the groundwork with it with the cardiac issues, and it plays out 502 00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:22.280 like the way. It's a little cheesy the way it's acted out, but 503 00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:27.559 the scenario wasn't completely stupid, and it made sense within the part of the 504 00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:30.280 story and then when he comes back and that sort of astral plane that I 505 00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:34.400 didn't love that party that wasn't That wasn't my favorite party. But it's like 506 00:35:34.679 --> 00:35:37.440 it's like a classic thing. So I accept that. But you're right, 507 00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:39.679 the father and this did a great job. When the father is dying and 508 00:35:39.679 --> 00:35:43.440 the entire family is like, you know, very distraught, I was like, 509 00:35:43.480 --> 00:35:45.000 wow, that does hit me. And then that got me thinking of 510 00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:49.119 like, you know, say if this is us, say if we were 511 00:35:49.199 --> 00:35:52.719 in these movies, Mac, sure we're getting to the point where we would 512 00:35:52.760 --> 00:35:57.159 be the parents that are killed off. You actually you want to know. 513 00:35:57.199 --> 00:36:00.239 It bothered me, and now I can't I keep these criticisms to myself because 514 00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:05.039 of my real life job. When someone has collapsed on the ground and potentially 515 00:36:05.039 --> 00:36:08.360 in cardiac rest, you start CPR. You don't just nail there and cry. 516 00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:12.800 You start CPR. And there was like it was the family, though 517 00:36:13.119 --> 00:36:15.760 there was even more so. There was like thirty four people there and on 518 00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:19.840 that fucking block, and not one person did CPR. Did you jump out 519 00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:22.239 of your chair to try and help him? That bothers It bothers a shit 520 00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:25.679 out of me. But no, no media gets that right, so like, 521 00:36:25.719 --> 00:36:29.960 I can't really use it as a legit complaint. Good. Yes. 522 00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:35.920 The only real crazy uh maybe spoiler in this here is there's a mid credit 523 00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:40.239 scene. Uh and during the movie they open up the Blue Beetles layer underneath 524 00:36:40.239 --> 00:36:46.239 the old Chord mansion and George Lopez's character eventually turns the computer on. The 525 00:36:46.280 --> 00:36:50.559 mid credit scene cuts back to that computer going a little fuzzy, and all 526 00:36:50.599 --> 00:36:53.280 of a sudden you hear a voice and it says, uh, this is 527 00:36:53.320 --> 00:36:57.320 Ted Cord. Please tell my daughter I'm alive. Something to that effect. 528 00:36:57.760 --> 00:37:00.719 Well, go, that matters, or maybe it does. We don't really 529 00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:04.239 know, but it might matter. Here's why. A little little research for 530 00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:08.039 the Ted Chord And actually in this movie as well, they mentioned it is 531 00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:13.280 the second Blue Beetle but never made connection with the Scarab. The first one 532 00:37:13.320 --> 00:37:16.159 that they mentioned was Dan Garrett, who had actually had a connection with the 533 00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:22.079 Scarab prior to Ted Chord. Because Ted never made a connection with the Scarab, 534 00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:24.039 that's why he creates all this tech and has that layer and all these 535 00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:30.480 gadgets and whatnot. So we're presumed he's presumed dead, but we find out 536 00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:34.360 he's actually just stuck in. We don't really know where an alternate to mention 537 00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:37.880 another time, the future, future past, We're not sure. But he's 538 00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:42.960 still able to communicate with whatever tech he has, and this is meaningful go 539 00:37:43.199 --> 00:37:45.719 because Booster Gold, the one thing we know about him is he's a hero 540 00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:50.639 from the future that stole a bunch of tech, including time travel tech, 541 00:37:51.039 --> 00:37:53.440 came back to the past, teamed up Blue Beetle, and they were like 542 00:37:53.480 --> 00:38:00.360 a crime fighting duo. So the theory is goo that it's paul Le, 543 00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:05.159 Booster Gold and Ted's Blue Beetle are sort of like lost in time, trapped 544 00:38:05.159 --> 00:38:07.719 in some sort of time loop, and they need help getting out. And 545 00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:13.039 if that's the case, I think you could argue this might actually be in 546 00:38:13.079 --> 00:38:16.920 the DCU. Yeah, I could see that as long as as long as 547 00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:24.559 James enough votes. But but it is interesting. I also heard that the 548 00:38:24.559 --> 00:38:28.480 original cut of this movie was thirty minutes longer. They had to cut out 549 00:38:28.519 --> 00:38:32.599 thirty minutes here. Well, I think it had more connections, and in 550 00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:37.519 the two years since this movie was announced, a lot of things have changed, 551 00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:40.239 so I wonder if there would have been a Booster Gold deleted scene something 552 00:38:40.280 --> 00:38:44.400 like that. But I'm intrigued by that, because again, this movie was 553 00:38:44.440 --> 00:38:47.360 good enough to be a part of James Gunns DCU, and I think ultimately, 554 00:38:47.800 --> 00:38:51.119 even if we didn't love this movie, the fact that it's good enough 555 00:38:51.159 --> 00:38:53.760 for us to accept it in the new DCU, if it happens to get 556 00:38:53.840 --> 00:38:58.159 there, I think is a great thing for this movie. In a very 557 00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:00.559 surprising fact, for this movie. I mean, I am interested. I 558 00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:07.639 would love to see what they plan on doing with this character. I've already 559 00:39:07.639 --> 00:39:12.400 mentioned, like I want to. I really wouldn't mind if he's just off 560 00:39:12.400 --> 00:39:15.400 on his own and he has his own trilogy and movies that loosely tie in 561 00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:20.119 but don't really that's a little bit more of like the Spider Man aspect too, 562 00:39:20.119 --> 00:39:22.679 where he's more isolated, you know, doing his more friendly neighborhood type 563 00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:25.840 of thing. That's really all I have for the spoiler. That's really it 564 00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:30.960 not a time to spoil. I'm just I'm honestly stunned that this movie was 565 00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:34.119 one of the better DC movies we've gotten. It really doesn't make any sense. 566 00:39:34.199 --> 00:39:42.559 So thirty one, Hot Dogs, thirty two, Yeah, let's get 567 00:39:42.599 --> 00:39:47.960 into Max and Max sac could be anything it could be about. In mac 568 00:39:49.039 --> 00:39:52.920 This week, I thought, we start to get into another little hot spot 569 00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:59.559 on the internet, and that is pack breaking. Pack breaking, okay, 570 00:39:59.599 --> 00:40:01.719 like and card packs, yeah, ripping card packs. So okay, we'll 571 00:40:01.800 --> 00:40:05.159 kind of pack of cards you get there?

Okay, Now, if you could pull up the Beckett 576 00:40:22.239 --> 00:40:24.239 Guide just to let me know what these are all worth, definitely not gonna 577 00:40:24.280 --> 00:40:28.760 do that, my computeral crash. How many cards in total are in this 578 00:40:28.800 --> 00:40:32.239 collection? I do not know. Okay, that's a great enough about this 579 00:40:32.239 --> 00:40:37.039 collection, all right. So on the package that says the movie sequel, 580 00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:39.800 dudes, Michaelangelo says that, of course, so they made this in conjunction 581 00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:45.119 with Secret of the US.

I'm gonna put that one 588 00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:13.320 in my plastic shell. I think that and the sheathing. Oh we got 589 00:41:13.360 --> 00:41:17.760 that. They're babies. Wow, what a pole. A pole I can 590 00:41:17.800 --> 00:41:22.280 retire and my kid can go to college. Right there, I'm gonna pull 591 00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:24.360 that one off to the side. Look at that one out real well. 592 00:41:25.119 --> 00:41:29.960 For the people listening to the episode speaking of well, all's well that ends. 593 00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:31.599 Well, that's what's on this card. You get all four turtles in 594 00:41:31.639 --> 00:41:36.840 there. They all four turtles. This one is uh oh, the one 595 00:41:36.880 --> 00:41:40.440 with all of them in the nets adding the hero yet no, no, 596 00:41:40.440 --> 00:41:45.280 no, their babies is the best one. I like how they have to 597 00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:47.159 put a tagline with all these. They could have just let the image live. 598 00:41:49.679 --> 00:41:53.880 Oh clawberd bi Kino. This is a great one. Throw that one 599 00:41:53.960 --> 00:41:57.760 right in the trash. It's not a good one. You're right. Last 600 00:41:57.800 --> 00:42:00.599 one a bogey like farewell. Oh. This is when they were doing the 601 00:42:00.639 --> 00:42:06.800 spoof from Casablanca. All right, and Michaelangelo is like, here's looking at 602 00:42:06.840 --> 00:42:09.840 you, kid. You know because all of us kids in the nineties were 603 00:42:09.920 --> 00:42:16.840 like, ah, Casablanca, the first ever pack rip here on the Mac 604 00:42:16.920 --> 00:42:21.360 and Goop program of a smashing success. If I do say so myself and 605 00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:27.440 a sticker of Shredder with probably gonna put it on my shirt, I'd assume 606 00:42:29.639 --> 00:42:30.920 you definitely would have done that in ninety two. Oh, I would have 607 00:42:30.960 --> 00:42:35.239 absolutely. Isn't that weird how stickers go on shirts when you're a kid, 608 00:42:35.239 --> 00:42:37.480 and then as an adult, that's like the last thing you'd put it on. 609 00:42:37.559 --> 00:42:42.239 So I will either frame this one or send it to Billy d as 610 00:42:42.320 --> 00:42:44.880 payment for him doing all of our work on the show. Yeah. And 611 00:42:44.920 --> 00:42:46.920 if you if you really want one of these cards, leave a review and 612 00:42:47.000 --> 00:42:51.159 ask you for Yeah.

Like if if you say to me, goo, 616 00:43:01.199 --> 00:43:07.639 I want the one with Tokar's feet right right, Michelangelo tickling his feet 617 00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:12.000 by the way, this is uh, this is Raisar.

No, all the card breaks always have like the under the table 621 00:43:21.559 --> 00:43:24.440 one. Yeah, they have.

By the way, I have some Batman Returns packs 624 00:43:35.440 --> 00:43:37.440 and Batman the Animated series packs. So we're all set for the next couple 625 00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:40.639 of months.

Send us cards, 652 00:45:35.039 --> 00:45:37.119 Send us some ninety nine tops. That's my favorite set. I know 653 00:45:37.159 --> 00:45:40.880 they're worthless, but I love that set. Rusty Greer, Yeah you are 654 00:45:40.920 --> 00:45:45.440 a big rusty. I'm a big rusty career guy. So Kevin love match, 655 00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:51.079 all right? So Tuesdays or Goose Days. I've used kangaroos. It's 656 00:45:51.119 --> 00:46:00.599 time for girls jumping on trampolines. Please flip the cassette over. Decide B 657 00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:00.920 to continue the adventure.
