And we are back, and as I forgot to mention, down below is
everything you need to know. That is the Patreon link. We would appreciate
if you think about it, if you've ever thought about supporting us, wait
until April third. If you want to do it sooner than great. But
if you want to wait until April third, or do the doll tear and
go up, because yes, you'll get the stream to go, you know,
and even if chat maybe if it's just like us extending and just shooting
shit with people in the chat, that's what you do. We would just
appreciate the support. On the nine year and the November we do a stream
for you know, the charity. This is a stream to help Geek first
because like anything we make and get funded is going to help us for the
twenty twenty five workload. And if you've listened to originals, so it's going
to be a bit more of a tricky year, especially the first half for
us, So we'd very much appreciate that you support that. Which also,
fuck I forgot to mention, I don't have it here ready. I'll say
this before we get into the news again. Everybody, thank you that did
rent our film and Drenna Chrome, everybody that support it, because we can
officially announce that we have been accepted in our first film festival. We are
in the Things in the Basement Film Festival, Inc. And we're very excited
about that. Uh, I don't know, we don't know when our date
of screening is yet because there's multiple films and there's a couple of processes and
whatnot. So we all of course of course promoted. And if you if
you're in Seattle, I guess yeah, if you're a Seattle fan, you're
gonna you can go see our theater, our film in the theater because theater.
Yeah, we all theater now because yeah, we would like to go
to some of that. Who knows if we get to because it's just like
it's a little short notice because like summer's very booked, but either way we
are there and no, it's very cool. So just a big thank you
to everybody. You will probably see it on socials too. More up in
the discord, we get the whole We get a nice like like it's called
a lot what is it a lario or a lario? What is that tall?
You would know you're gonna signed. No, it's like l au r
yel or something like that. What is it called l A You are e
l A Laurel Laurel. Yeah, so we got that, so we're gonna
look fancy. Now when we do our next poster, we're gonna and this
is the this was the first one we submitted to. Our plan is we're
doing about twenty four uh film festivals a year for one project. Sometimes there
might be another ones. Because there was a project that messaged us after because
we made in one film festival said hey, we want you part of this
one, and I said sure, and there's a certain waivers you get.
So that's the great thing. But no, that's the thing where all that
stuff for the rental of the film or stuff like GVDA, that's all going
to go back into things like broadening that side of it. And we very
much appreciate it because we legitimately would not been able. We could have made
that movie, but we would not have the same gear or the same software
we could without each and every one of you. So this is just the
start. Of course, we won't get into everyone, but it's just cool
that we have made it into one. So we will keep you updated as
things go along. But this is the biggest one because it's a it's our
first one, you know, and it's great because like not saying that it's
like the start of like, oh, you know, to where we're Hollywood
famous, but it's like it's nice to feel like, oh, we're doing
some little right of you know. We got you know, first festival we
submitted to, made it pass the like nominations process, and now we're official
selections. So it was really cool to get that news. So again,
just a big thank you to everybody that has support us, because that step,
that achievement that we have, we wouldn't go out and even then I
was expecting a few like denials first. So it's kind of cool, like
right off the bat, the first one that was up as far as in
June to find out the deadline and we got in, so very cool.
So big thank you everybody. So that's the what's their update on geek for
studios? You know, we're officihing a festival selected film boys. You know,
it's crazy. Hasn't hit me yet. Yeah, we're on websites now.
It's great. You sent that photo of the website and it was just
like that's just strange. Yeah, Yeah, we're up there with the other
films, so yeah, it's gonna be cool. So yeah, and like
I said, the films that there, it's gonna be away for a year
and then we will put it back up next year, unless you know,
we hit the jackpod and someone buys it off us. But if not,
we will still self distribute it next year, probably come next springtime. So
you know what not's gonna get distributed? Maybe ever is the Blade movie,
because here we go, we are gonna get into We're gonna get into a
bunch of other Marvel News two, but we'll just start the Blade stuff.
So Blade has lost its second director. It came out today that that has
happened. It's honest, I think seventh writer. Now, I guess the
word is with this that this writer is more to punch up the current story
they have. And it's somebody that has worked on like Infinity War, Endgame,
Spender, Homecoming, so it's someone they trust. So that is the
rumor that they like a store, They like the current story, but they
just want someone to come and maybe put some new fresh on it. Who
knows. But they did lose their second director, so what don't go through
to you guys, and I have this question later on with the Batman.
We get the DC News and we have some stuff to talk about later where
I don't care. Actually we'll put it in together with this story. Last
week it came out that Jordan Peel met with they he met with Figi and
Marvel Studios to talk about a project, and that came out that it was
X Men. Apparently the talks didn't go through. And that doesn't mean like
it's like, oh, they fucking hate each other didn't happen. She's like,
hey, we're gonna go this route. We don't go this route yet.
We have some questions about that after from god LOSMBI sixty nine. But
the thing is like he is in the wheelhouse. So we were talking about
the discord and this is the way where it's it's like, do you guys
take this as like a good sign because maybe it is somebody in this director
not a very well established director, not like a big name like a Jordan
Peele. So and Kirk, I'll start with you, do you take this
as a sign of hey, maybe because even if this in this report they
said that, hey, and this comes from like a high B tier,
I'll say, an a tier. Actually it's it's an acus. You're not
wrong, it's just lower a tier that they are appreciating that they don't have
to rush into projects and they want to take their time and get it right.
But at the same time, you know, like again many writers,
this thing was announced in twenty nineteen, so it's been a while. So
do you take this as good news as hey, maybe people theorizing, hey,
they met about X Men, but maybe they could real peel back in
for this, Like could we get some bigger name that we're all like,
this is really exciting or do you think it's reverse of it is just like
another person lost because this film's in development. Hell, and I got a
second fall up question, but I'll wait till after. So do you what
do you take from this news? You know, Uh, I'm more in
the camp of it being a bad thing. I I I don't like,
I definitely can see, you know, the more positive side of like they
are like they don't want to rush into it. They do want to tell
the story that they want to tell, at least not necessarily the director or
the writer I guess just what what and the crew wants to do obviously,
like there's some really big names attached to this, so and like really big
names with a really big character. I feel like it's like another parent that
just makes us really special. Mm hmm. And it was very special,
and I guess it still kind of is maybe less so for me now,
But like when it was announced and we're just getting like Mahersia, like the
casting we had the Eternals, was it the Eternal's end credit when you hear
his yeah, right for that? Dane Ready for that? Dane? Yeah,
technically he's in the MCU already without just being casted. But I don't
know. I I don't want to say like the hype is disappearing on me.
I think it's more so just like because we're taking so long and you
mentioned that this is the seventh writer. It's just like, man, if
this comes out and it's not a ten out of ten, I think it's
I think it's a major disappointment and like ten out of ten, like not
even nine out of ten, I guess maybe there I'll stretch it. But
like, I don't know, I just like, if this does come out,
I am expecting top top tier, like it's gotta be well, it
probably will be better than the than the Blade original movies at least like the
second and third, but like I have so much distall and the second's great
directed that Okay, I just remember the first one being like top top and
lots of people. I'm a Blade two guy, but there's that's a bit
that's like an alien's debate. There's tons of people Blade ones and Blade two
guys, but I'd say the only one that sucks is three. Three is
the legitimate one that is not good. So yeah, So I think it's
like I just hold those movies so near and dear to my heart in Nostalgias,
it's just if this one is lesser and it feels like kind of disnified
in the sense of certain Marvel properties, feeling less uh less mature, maybe
like like especially Blade, like because when I think of Blade, I didn't
even know it was like a Marvel comic until I think I played Ultimate Alliance
back in the day. Just because it's like especially the Wesley snipes, like,
its just it doesn't feel anywhere here that yeah, or actually don't feel
anywhere near that realm. So I think I have super high expectations for the
Nostalgia's sache as well as just kind of how long it's been brewing and stewing,
and there's rumors they might make it righted are now they haven't officially said
that, but that is the word. I thought we already kind of had
already. But yeah, I was just saying to help with your maybe not
being disney fied, you know. So I think I think it's really just
like how long it's taking now where some red flags are sprouting for me,
But that's just where I'm at right now. Maybe I'll change with some more
information and we just get a little bit more so lidification. But like even
like how long ago was it when Mia Goth got casted? I don't like,
it feels like a century to me, Like it feels like forever ago.
It's probably might last year, but still it's just like, I don't
know anyone with me? Taylor, how do you feel about this? April
twenty three, so actually it's coming on, it's past the year. Fuck,
Okay, I still thought it was longer. But yeah, I think
I worry because we've seen we've seen projects like New Mutan's and stuff that get
delayed and delayed and delayed, and I of all the things. It's funny
that Blade is the one that's kind of running into these these issues, and
maybe they're just so paranoid they just want to make it great. If they're
running into director problems, then you know what, we're gonna go back to
the Underworld here. They should just get the director of that first Underworld men
wise men. You know he he's doing the Ballerina So I think that the
or did he's directing the Ballerina movie. Oh, the one that had to
go back and reshoot and get the original John Watt, John Wick directors to
help up with. Yeah, you know, sometimes people need help. Travis,
he's done like four Underworld movies and he's got he's got an ace in
the hole for vampires. So I think that's what they need. Vampires or
not, let us do the fucking movie. At this point, you know,
like people all in the game saying make the movie eighty to one hundred
million. We'll take a clean hundred k. All three of us will split
it. We'll make you that movie, you know, and just fund the
movie. Don't even pay me, just pay for everything. Yeah, we'll
make it. Marvel budgets are two hundred million, they are, but I
think that's where I agree the only game they should not not they should do
that, They should take that down, Like they don't all have to be
that, they don't all have to be these huge event movies. And just
like you know, I'll go back to it, I guess. I guess
it's just because like it's also just we got Marshall Lee where everyone's like,
this guy's perfect. So it's not like, oh, we need to make
up for this guy who people are iffy on. It's like I think people
would just be down to see a Blade Adventure movie with Ali. That's it,
you know, Like I don't think we're looking for it to be a
big connection or anything. I don't even look. I know, might set
up midnight Suns, but I'm not even looking for that, you know.
I And like I know it's Taylor's turn, but I'm just jumping in here
cause I do it. But like I feel like, also there is massive
names in these like that's already just been rumored for Blade. But like ever
since I saw Godzilla Minus One, my whole outlook on just movie budgets has
just completely been shattered. It's a little skewed though, remember their budgets work
a lot differently fair, but like even if it's double or triple whatever,
like the rumor it is like just my outlook on movies now has just been
so like shattered in the sense of like you don't need two hundred million,
you don't need a quarter of a billion dollars. Even Dune a good movie
because it was Dune lower two, like and I know it's the thing of
like Dune two budget it was lower it's one nine for what you would think.
Yeah, that's because like they took a lot of pickup. But even
like Apes has one sixty, like and those are like big movies. We're
like, yeah, those are June two being one to nine. He looks
better than majority of the last Marvel movies. So superd Mike is not a
fan of your had to go there. I wasn't gonna say it, Lynn
Wiseman also Kate Beckhams sale movie super Bad, Mike, you better watch out.
Oh she wasn't that. I've forgotten about that. I've never seen I've
never seen the ring in theaters. Yeah, and then he had the Fastive
Fears movie five hundred million, and uh yeah, Garrett that went to the
raid or Chad Skaalski. He said he'd like to. I actually think that
would be a great pick. But I don't know. I don't I don't
know if it gets tricky because it's I don't know. I feel like we're
venturing the Star Wars territory again here, Taylor. I think, how do
I worry this while getting canceled? I think, unfortunately, and fortunately,
I think they want a black director to do it. I don't think that
is the perfect route because I think I understand what Black panther when those movies
are very much about race and oppression and yet to da right, like very
important themes that don't mean to say yet to know. That's just my version
of et cetera. So I'm sure so people, Yeah, there's a red
Eye thumbnail canceled, but like, no, like there's certain movies where I
go. I like, if someone came to me and said, hey,
trust you want to make a movie about you know, Martin Luther, can't
go. You know, I'm not the right person for this project where a
Blade, I feel like I could do that because I'm not saying you can't
have those aspects in a Blade movie. And if that's and that's the thing.
If al Lei has said I want to do a Blade movie that is
about vampires but also touching about race, then that's why I'm not in the
room. So I can't say, oh, it doesn't have to be a
black director. But that's where I feel like they kind of want to go.
And I think we've seen that lots of times with this has to be
a person of color director. This has to be a woman director. And
I don't think that's a bad thing per se, because we've talked about this
before. Many people in the past did not get that opportunity because they were
a black person. Oh you want to direct that movie. No, you're
not white. We don't want that. So it is like correcting. But
for me, I hope we get into the world. Like I said,
I want to live in a world where a female director is directing a Batman
movie and not just well, you can direct Supergirl because that's the girl movie.
You can direct Batman because that's the male movie. Right. So I
think Chatskahowski is actually like the perfect choice. I know he's doing Ghost of
Shashima next. I hope that'd be it. But I think they want a
black because both directors have been black, and we'll see it again. I
don't know the slant. I don't know what they want to do. If
it is more race focused than I'd understand that pitch, right, But I
think it would be someone in that realm. And maybe I'm wrong and maybe
that's the way it's gonna go. And I think it is, like of
course, because I don't want to say, oh, best person for the
job, because then like a lot of people like say like, oh,
you know, that's I think a lot of people that use like the woke
termage is like, oh, I like, I don't you know, I
don't have a problem with women. I just want the best person for a
job, like they use that terminology, but like I actually do. But
uh, I guess you're right. All the game Bosom wasn't the he wasn't
black, so yeah, no, they were PC for sure, but not
like yeah, and I do know that about so there you go. I
thought Yan was black, So then that is me being wrong about that.
I did not know about the about Bossom, so then I don't know.
But there are still people of color, right, So again that's the same
thing where Blade, no, you put that comback out no, like and
maybe that's the aspect too of just they want a person of color to direct
Blade because it does tell that sort of story. I don't know, we'll
see what this third one. Obviously it was like a Jordan Peele that wouldn't
answer the question because that would be a person of color. But that's like
for me, that wouldn't matter because like if you can get Jordan Peele,
you get Jordan Peele. You know, we're going all the way back to
Jakesawi. You know, Ryan Cooler is directing that uh Vampire Hunter movies for
Warren Buzz. The movie is the rumor is it's a vampire KKK movie.
We don't know if the black people are vampires and they're going out to the
KKK or the KKK is the vampires and like the you know, the black
people are going it's that one for the first I don't know what it is,
but it's like it's Coogler, Michael B. Jordan and it has a
bunch of other good actors in there. But like with Peel, it's like,
oh look, deal Dog's in the chat there. He is so like
with me, it's like Peel, like that's like a that's a top ten
working director. Right now, you go after Peel if you can get him.
But we'll see, because I don't know what the scripton story says.
So that's why I just didn't know. With with Shadahowski, if they didn't
want to do that because they didn't want to have a white person directing a
blay movie. Right, I don't know. But thank you all again for
correcting on that one, because I definitely forget about Bossom, but I didn't
even know about the other one. So, uh, both those options sound
like they would be very cool. They I think they would be so terror
back to you a little bit. It's a twenty five minutes ago. When
they interrupted, you just keep going, yeah, uh go wherever? Fuck
you know what? Rise of Lichens Man. Let's I'm just kidding. Sorry
to interrupt you again, Tea. For the third time, the rights of
Kupa's vampire movie reverts back to him after twenty years. It's one of the
sweetest deals. I didn't even know you could fucking do the type of deals
anymore. Remember when we talked about that with ma Well, we still can't.
We haven't made a deal yet, so we still still cars We own
the movie. But like that. But that's where it comes down to right
there, because what happens when someone comes to us and writes this big fat
check and say, hey, you can have this check, but you don't
own the movie anymore. And that's where we would have to have a discussion.
Right That's that happens all the time. So that's but I didn't know
they still did that. I thought we covered with mad Nax. I didn't
know they you could still get those deals. So sweet deal for Googler if
it's a hit, because that's that's awesome for him. So Blade Taylor,
is this good news or bad news? So the bad news because the good
news people are trying the pause of people are trying to say this is good
news because maybe they're gonna go get a more savash director like a Jordan Peel
or so like maybe if you are thinking, oh, because they met with
Peel, I actually don't think that's it. I think the story is just
coming out at the same time. I my hope is that they come back
to Peel for X Men, because as much I'd like them to do Blade,
we'll talk about that in a bit. I think Peel on X and
It's like that's fucking that's like, that's high that that to me is like
that shoots the like X Men's already my number one, but like with the
fucking Assassin's Creed writer, I'm like, eh, but if you tell me
Jordan Peele's directing X Men. But where how were you to do you think
this is You're hopeful that oh, maybe this means they're changing things, they
want to go after someone bigger as a director, or do you think it's
just another stumble to this movie probably not happening at some point. I kind
of feel like maybe it's it's a stumble h two for three, Yeah,
it just it is. It is kind of worrisome because I feel like if
you create a project and you've spent a few years working away at this project,
and you pick the individuals you know you want to be working on this
and bring this to life, and then you start running into these issues and
you're trying to pick different people the projects already going on. I mean,
you don't want things to get messy like that. And I think, okay,
this is is this like a Rise of Skywalker thing where they thought,
oh, you know what we'll make, We'll make a good plan here where
we bring back the guy that did Force Awakens and he did a great job
with that, and he's gonna come back and finish this trilogy, and then
you can just get a very messy movie that was very creatively kind of chaotic.
So yeah, you run into some dilemmas there. I feel like if
you can't start at the very start of this project, like I already said,
just create that cohesive kind of vision as a team, then you're gonna
run into issues. So yeah, yeah, I really don't know where I
am on this one, like if it's a positive or calling. I am
more in the camp where I'm just every day waiting to wake up to the
announcement of scheduling conflicts and Ali can't do it. And that's the thing where
this movie's supposed to come out. I think next year. It's not coming
out next year. That's not happening. Ali's rumored to be joining that Drastic
World movie, right, So it's just like I think, clearly with that
news and this director news, I'm not saying he's out, but maybe it
was a thing of like, well, my schedule's open again, and so
I'm gonna go make some money on this drastic movie, right, and that
could be cool. I didn't think Ali would go do a drastic movie like
I do. That's like a weird like put put together to be But yeah,
I I just am exed. So I don't know if it's good news
or bad because we don't know the inner workings, right, Like I would
feel bad for the guy that got the gig, and if the reason is,
hey, you know, fucking Jordan Peele came and that's the way Hollywood
works, like that does suck. But at the same time, Marvel needs
some wins. So I just hope it's someone more established and we talked about
that with Midnight Suns. I'll pull up the list because Mike was he threw
it like Fetti Alvarez and he's somebody that's running for Midnight Suns and all the
game asks can they make a Midnight Suns movie work without Blade? Yeah?
They made the fucking They made a Venom movie work without Spider Man. Now
you can argue if it's a good movie or not, but like it made
lots of money, right or better example, they made a Joker movie without
Batman, Like the general audience doesn't know that Blade has to be on the
Midnight Suns. Like, I think you could just put Oscar Isaac the big
Star in that leader ship slot, right and go, hey, ISAC's a
big star. Moonnight was a popular show for us. He's now a leader
of Midnight Suns. And here's all your other wacky characters, right, And
you could even change things up. You could put Strange in there, and
you could put Chicar which, like, there's tons of characters, so it
could work like the Marvel the MCU universe worked without Spiderman, X Men Fantastic
four, right, as long as the story's good enough, you don't need
them, like first class work without Wolverine, Like I think there's tons of
examples. So I think it happened, And that was the rumor this week
as well, that Midnight sunse has a writer. I guess Michael Green.
He did write on the Blade script, but he also wrote Logan. He
wrote Blade around twenty forty nine, So I don't know why X Men's not
getting fucking great writers like this. We're getting the Hunger Games, Assassin Screed
guy. Well, Midnight Suns is again, Hey, I wrote Logan and
Blade runner, so it's like great and then there was let me try and
find a list there. But that's what I was gonna say. Is there
any other directors that you would think that you'd want to tackle Blade, like,
let's say it was more of a name or are you kind of a
wait and see easy answer, Wait and see. Give me five minutes to
search up some things and then I'll get back to you. I thought I
thought Kirkan was going right with like the Barbarian director, just go for his
favorite and just go yeah, and I'll rewatch that movie probably this week.
So uh, where was it? Oh? Right? Because that was a
remember right now, Michael, that was remember one point, Michael Giacchino was
tapped for the the the Director Shop. I'm so annoyed. I just pulled
it up like easily today. Oh is it because I'm spelling suns wrong?
That might be it because they because we don't know how they're gonna spell it.
Oh my god, I'm sorry to be slowing down the cast, but
you're buying me time. It was like, I think the list was like
Sam Raimi, it was Fettie Alvarez, it was Michael Giacchino, and I
thought there was somebody on that list as well. That was like a different
type of name. But they was like here you go, Colorry, keep
going. What do you mean there you go? Oh you gotta go,
you go and bought me time. Yeah. Uh, the great and powerful
director of both Miamivice and Collateral. I'm going Michael Mann, the eighty one
year old man. No way, he's gonna lead my plate movie. Definitely
not a part's the color Michael Man. But we're going Michael Mann. Oh
wow, the two ends. In case you're looking, that's a we're wait
and see. Well one of those two. That's quite the pick there.
Yeah, I can't find it to the list, but like I said,
it was. The problem was though with that list, the rumored list,
it was like a lot of like Okay, Sam Raimi, Sure, Fetti
Alvarez, who's like directing Evil den Alien, which looks great. Sure like
it was like the top tier, like yeah, and like mate. So
like That's why I actually liked the Michael Giacchino pick because I liked Werewolf by
Night. I liked that vibe and I think that's someone that is in the
Marvel family. So and Fetti, you were telling me Fatty Alvarez directing the
Night Suns. As long as these directors get the same freedom that Sam Raimi
did a Stranger, I'd be great because Fetty Again, I don't think Eddy's
gonna make like what was it gonna be like? It's not gonna be like
fucking Evil Dead twenty thirteen for Playe Right, Like, I'm not expecting that.
I would never expect Marvel the go that hard. But I think like
don't Brief had some good action here, but you got some saying I don't
know who I would go with, but I'd say just they should just go
fucking crazy with something like this. They could pick any director Ariaster, well,
they should. They should do like Martin Shutter Island. You know,
yeah, he wants to do a Blade movie. The guy says they're not
cinema or I'm night Shyamalan. You know, he's got some fucked up ship
that he's cooking up with. That would be a dangerous pick. I'd loved.
I'd love me so scared if they were now and Shamalan was doing Blade,
and what what character would m might be playing to? You know,
that'd be the funny part. You wouldn't be playing, sorry, because who's
the old guy in the Old One, Whistler, Whistler, whistler, all
the game said, So they just ignore Blade was going around recruiting people like
black Men and the internals, just like they ignored the end credit of an
Incredible Hulk too their second film, and the m c U iron Man is
a part of the Avengers and he's recruiting Bruce Banner. That makes no sense
in the context to the rest of the MC movie. They've done that multiple
times where it's just like they do something and it didn't make sense. I
think the problems with Phase four and five. They're doing that a lot more,
and also they're under the microscope a lot more. But Phase one to
three there's multiple times where they did do stuff that didn't make sense or they
didn't pay off right step Red Mike also said, I get Michael Giacchino and
nailed it. Yeah, all the games all for Giaquino. Let's see,
I just want to take a crack of that name as Techa a gear.
There you go. The right the rights of Blades going to Disney was a
bad signed new Line or warn Buys should have kept the rights. Hey,
well, they should have made a fucking movie that was in there, like
Daredell, Like I'll see Daredel when subject matters eventually got bought by Fox,
but all those people in the like the rights were like I never understood like
when the rights did, like Daredel had the rights or Fox and the rights
of Daredevil and they just didn't make a movie went back to Marvel. I
don't understand why they didn't just even go make a fucking twenty million dollars Daredevil
movie and call today and then you you got the rights for like another five
years. Like I don't like it's trust for me. It's hard for me
to trust that pitch because Warner Brothers is also like very all over the map,
right, Like we saw a fucking background movie get Shell for tax reasons,
So like I get what you're saying of like, oh, it sucks
as it might be stuck at Disney, but also with Warner Brothers. I
don't know what it would have done, but yeah, who knows. I
think it's just a bigger problem. So let's see here, what was the
other news? I will pull it up, but let's see. Oh,
so there's right now a I got a question from our resident Marvel Lince host
Chris in a second here to deal with these stories. But there's also some
stories here. I think one I'm gonna kick for another time because we don't
need to discuss it right now. Let me go. There's a rumor going
around that The Young Avengers, So The Young Avengers apparently is going into production
next year. The rumored top tier choice is Westball, who did the Apes
movies. So I want your thoughts on that, and I did just want
your guys' thoughts on those. We talked about Jordan Peel a little bit,
but the idea of Jordan Peel either working on X Men and working with Marvel
right now, it just sounds like it's like something they talked about. He's
not in links for it, but do you think it's something that could happen?
And then I also Chris's question a second, but Kirk, when I'll
start with you Young Avengers, would west Ball will be a good pick just
coming off Apes? And then uh, you know some Peel stuff like he
just did Kingdom. Yeah, he's a guy who did Kingdom. Yeah,
that's apparently the Sea Tier Scoopers. So it's like a BS meter thing.
But how would you feel about that? Yeah? Yeah, I like that.
I like like I trust him with a collaboration of a handful of characters
on screen together. I think that movie had some really great action as well
as some good character stuff, and I want all of that smoothied up in
a blender for me. I don't know why so blended up, and I
kind of reverse those blended up into a nice smoothie for me to drink.
My Young Avengers. Just a reminder when we finished, as Ganov said in
return, the King is just better off. You say nothing at all,
And that's what we'll tell Kirkle. We're going to pitch you want to smooth
it up on a Chrome Festival submission film. Yeah, no, I I
like that director a lot for what I've seen. Did you see the Maze
Runners stuff? Yes, I have. I've seen the Maze Runners and I
did like them. Yeah. Yeah. And then Chris's question, Oh,
I didn't throw a question. You can throw it out now take my thunder.
That's okay. Chris from over the Alliance's Great and Powerful. He asked
what has more of a chance of actually happening, Young Avengers or Armor Wars.
I'm surprised he didn't put Blade in this list. Maybe he just think
he's bla dead, but ye, Blade would be at the bottom for me
if we're incorporating it, if we want to tweak his question here for him.
I think I think they're both gonna happen, Like I like, definitely
thumbs up solid For me, I think they're both gonna happen. I think
if I had to choose one or the other, I want to say,
like Armor Wars, even though I think I know I I feel like that
is the one I would want the least out of all three of these,
including Blade. But what do you want? More Armor Wards? Are Eternals
too? Eternals too? I think, Really, I just don't Wow Wars
like I agree with you, but I am when I was there, I
think, but no, I don't agree with you. Actually, I would
take Armour Wars over Eternals. I need to see those fucking boring characters again,
you know what I'm saying. I think now that I kind of understand
what the Eternals are, I'm like, Okay, I swallowed that pill.
Give me a story with them. Whereas like leading into that film, I
knew nothing and it was just like I'm excited to see what this is and
then the twist I just I'm not a fan of Like I just didn't like
it at all. But uh yeah, Armor Wars, I just maybe it's
just too it's too late. Maybe like my hype is just really that ship
has gone. I don't know, Blade, Armoor Wars, all these products
are too late for Kirkling. Now they've they've spinge sailed. It's been a
long time. I guess also too, you'd have to tell me I'll take
back my pick for arm Wars and Eternals until I would hear is what's the
status of scroll roadie, because if if it's so worn on, then yeah,
actually I would pick Eternal because I have no interest in that whole scroll
fall up. But if they just cheat and say well it was actually just
after endgame, and then like okay, that I can I can be back
on board. So my answer has an asterisk by it. I think like
looking at the question, I I thought Young Avengers might have been the one
that isn't quite gonna happen, But just because of who I pictured being on
the Young Avengers team, like when we were first talking about this, we're
we're getting introduced to like Kate Bishop and Elena and like these characters that could
fit in that realm. But now it's just like, well they're older.
So that was maybe my counter that, But it's like Bishops in the movie.
For sure, we can just get new characters as well that I'm sure
going to be introduced. Yeah, so I think it'll work. I think
both of them are have Yeah, I think the question. I think Young
Ventures has the better chance to happen because I just feel like if they look
at like Don Cheatle or Hailey Steinfeld, they'll like edge to go with Hailey
Steinfield. At the same time, if you know aman Volani's in this,
you can also go look at the Marvels and go Walt's our second lowest film
of all time. So is the reason there? As I've said before,
not from a fan, just business wise, neither of these movies should be
happening none. The only reason Blade keeps happening because I promise you is that
a bold thing? Do I want to say it right now? I'll do
a trest told you, if all three of these movies come out, I
think Blade would do the best out of them. I don't know if that's
a hot take, I don't know. If I'm wrong there, it also
would be Radar, so it would be harder to get that audience right.
But I just think Armor Wars people are gonna and again I I hold the
opinion or I hold all right, what is I'm trying to say here?
I like the opportunity to take back my opinion based on new information because if
they also say, like hey, Tom Holmes and Armour Wars and like fuck.
But I'm saying, as it currently stands, just Dawn Cheeto let Armor
Wars. What is your fingerwag? And that just sounds a lot like a
Kirkland quote on the Dune one review. You know, based on change,
you have the product right in front of you, the film started ended,
you gave it a two out of ten. Okay, you know, let's
move on. For me. I think that Young Avengers and Armorers are both
bad ideas. I think they're gonna lose money. Armors for sure, and
Young Avengers because I don't think people give a fuck. I think unless they
make them very cool. But I think Young Aventrece has a better chance to
happen because it probably has more ties to the future universe where Armor Wars it's
just like what is broke, like what is Rody of ties to right now?
Like Secret Invasion. Well, let's forget about the worst project ever in
MCU, Like, we don't need to tie to that. So I'll say
Young Avengers has a better chance, and I think it will. But I,
like I said before, I think this Young Avengers should be a Disney
Plus series or nothing at all, and wait on it. And just as
I said, Pore, just put Kate and Miss Marvel in the Avengers main
lineup, like, drop the fucking Young Avengers in, because when we went
over the characters like Scar and the Twins and all these other people that are
rumored for Young Avengers, like man like I feel like people there's other people
like us that are hardcore, like big MCU fans are like, I don't
give a fuck about this. I will. But at the same point,
it's just like we the audience will not just accept any comic book movie now,
and I think Young Avengers and Armor Wars are two that they will not
accept and easily choose to skip and catch that at home. So Taylor Field,
I throw it to you. I mean, I'm personally I'm excited for
armed Wards. I love me some Justin Hammers supposed to come back, right,
yeah, Justin Hammer some suits. Ah, I mean, let's see
it, let's see it happen. Uh, but what do you think has
a better chance of happening? Like not fan fair like if because both of
them have had like stops and starts. There's no directors. They're rumored movies,
but they don't like Armor Wars has been announced, never been given a
date, by way, never been's been given. Five dates are awards?
Not a single fucking id at the forefront then, because they know what they're
dealing with and they're not committing to a date because they know. Okay,
we gotta keep working at this, all right, Okay, that's fair,
so we'll see any thoughts on west Ball or Peel Kuronel didn't really talk about
that. That's okay, his times up, man, let's play ball.
Let's fucking do it. I'm there. Oh nice, there you go?
Uh super mad, Mike says, will he even have time for Zelda on
his plate? I think this is just a rumor. It's like a seatier
rumor. So I threw it in there for fun. I I personally if
he I don't know what the money situation is like, so that takes everything
out and what people are motivated by. We don't know if on the board
you could direct Young Avengers or Zelda. I'm gonna ask these guys, Kirkham,
what do you think the easy answer? What do you pick your west
ball coming off apes? You only have a slot for one Young Avengers are
Zelda? What do you pick? What's the better move for your career?
Okay, Taray, what do you think I picked Zelda for both are absolutely
fucking right because there's not been a live action Zelda. So if you nail
it, you're really made. The flip side of that is if you fucking
you're the one that ruins Zelda. Yes, where if you just make a
bad Marvel movie, people made bad Marvel movies before. If you fuck up
Zelda, that's like a director's jail thing. So there is more risk and
Zelda, but that is a higher risk, high reward if you get to
be the guy that cracks the code on Zelda needs he needs that deal where
he gets the rights after twenty years to just right. Yeah. Yeah,
they're like you can have like the bloopers rights. So that's about it.
But yeah, that's why I don't. I would like to pick that's cool.
I just don't think it's gonna happen because if Zelda, I think the
rumors he's doing the second Apes film, it sounds like he might not do
all three of them. So if he does the second Apes and then he's
on a Zelda, I don't know, worried Finn young Avengers and if it
comes down to a chew situation. I liked Kingdom, so now I'm happy
with him doing Zelda, so I would think. That's why I just can't
believe this rumor yet, because unless Nintendo's, you know, deciding not to
do Zelda, you do Zelda like that, that's that's the play because if
you you you pulled it off, your your a legend. And I'll go
and then these two can talk about bit I don't no, I don't need
to go. I already said it. Peel, I get it. It's
tough because Peel is easily gonna be a guy that's gonna come in and he's
not gonna fuck around, and he's you're not gonna tell him what to do,
and Marvel might not like that. There's certain things that we're gonna go
to and that's the thing where like, uh, God Loves Me sixty nine
say like, what would be your ideal origin story for Peel to cover?
It sounds like a cop out answer, and I'll go because like these guys
haven't read the comments as much. Because yeah, you could do like the
Classic with Charles, just like they're the X Men. He could do the
nineties where they're more rugged and Renegades, which I think you could go to.
You could do Astonishing X Men where it's this like new Roster and you
deal with the keer. You could deal like someone ninety seven. You could
deal with Ultimate X Men, which I don't think is the rut to go.
I actually think Crocoa X Men would be the best run. I'm somebody
that's a mass a fan of the c Crow X Men era. I've not
read at all. I was waiting for it to end and now I'm gonna
finish it. But I read like the most of the upstart toot and that's
the one where I've talked about before where they just go off and live on
their own kind of country. But it's like you can't enter unlesser immune,
like you physically can't get in there, and it's very trippy and they get
to hide out. That's the comic where Scott, Gene and Logan are a
thruple and they just share a room together like they do. A lot of
different takes in there that to me would be what Peel would do or just
something. And that's where my cop out answer is what origin would they do?
I think Peel wouldn't even look to the comments. He wouldt to do
something that has some comic books in there, but something that is original and
unique to him. I don't think it's gonna be you wanna do this,
so I unless his pitch was like awful, we don't know. I as
Figgy and everything. To me, the X Men have to get it right.
I would have bent over backwards to get a guy like Peel directing X
Men. I think that is a home run snarrow guy that I trust.
I think it's gonna have great meaning, it's gonna have great political meeting,
it's gonna be a great movie. So for me, it's like in this
multiverse or whatever, this universe where we went from them talking appeal to the
guy that wrote Assassin's creed Man, that fucking sucks, and maybe he'll come
back because maybe he's just in talks with other studios, But I think Peel
and X Men would have been something really special, and I hope it somehow
still happens. Kirkhan, where are you on the those rumors of Peel and
X Men off? Like I said, it had a meeting, it didn't
go forward, but at least their meeting, and again that could also mean
for stuff down the line, right. It could even be that's why Peele
brought the Blade thing, right of like, hey, we have a slot
for Blade, come in here. We'd like to hear your pitch or what
you'd want to do with it. Right, Like the fact that they're talking
is a sign of like, okay, that door is like it's opened a
little bit. Unless the meeting was terrible, which I doubt. I don't
think Peel and Flaggy sat down even they disagreed. I don't take them as
guys and be like well fuck you, well fuck you and then they slammed
the doors, like I don't think so. Yeah, it's it's the type
of uh like news that I would I feel kind of surprised of hearing,
Like I just feel like he's making such unique and like original type movies and
I think you can do that like with a property like a Colmbook movie specifically
Marvel and the MCU. But it's just it's just not it wouldn't have been
my first guest like at all. So hearing that is kind of exciting and
just we live in the world that that could happen. And I love just
thinking about what an X Men Jordan Peele movie would look like and like how
different that would feel from the other movies. And I only think it would
be a positive result. Maybe I'm putting my defenses low. I think it
would be for its disappointment, but well no, I think it would be
positive. But I also think the only risk is it could be like last
SHEDI positive, where some people would go like, no, my X Men,
like this is too like X Y and Z right, But I think
we for the most part would be enjoying of it. But I could see
some people and I just I was just looking up the boss of the last
few movies to see like I guess the reason could be like get Out May
two hundred and fifty five million to make two to fifty million, and then
nope, I had a big decline, not big decline, but one seventy
million, So it also could like I'm not trying to paint the guy in
a bad picture, but also could just be like, hey, go do
a movie, get a big paycheck, and then you can go do those
stuff that might not be guaranteed big hits. R because even Get Out,
which is like I look at as a film, it's like a huge culture
change, like only two fifty, Like that's like that's a pretty low for
a movie that I considered very popular. Right, I'm not saying that's bad
because the budget is low, but it's not like a massive hit. It's
like when we talk about the Furiosa or the Free Road movie where it's like
a hit, but it's not like a like a massive hit the way we
think of it. So yeah, I mean, I don't know. I
I like the idea. I don't know, like I don't think I would
make a bet on like this is definitely gonna happen, just like these pairings
if you list it, if you wanted me to like list the for doing
the BS meter, Yeah, I feel like I'm over fifty, but like
pretty pretty low. And I think him just having these talks is kind of
exciting because it wouldn't necessarily mean it would have to be x Men or what
was the other one? Fantastic floors? Is that what it was? No,
that's all locked. We're talking of Blade Blade. Where are you right
now? What are you talking about? Where am I right now? No?
Because x Men is the ruver for his yeah, directorial. Yeah,
and then I don't know where A four came in they got right, it
just happened someone take for me. Yeah, and all the game. Yeah.
I'm not saying get Out costs four point five milion, not saying it
wasn't any success. No, absolutely, I'm just saying that it feels bigger
than it actually was as far as I feel like the way it took over
culture. But it is still just like two fifty million, like not a
massive movie, right for just like that fic, but for profit, absolutely
fucking great profit and everything so and the other thing too. With this,
it also just makes me wonder if he is taking meetings, because I wonder
because he's worked with them before. I wonder if he met for that Drastic
World movie, if he was like Universal would be dumb not to meet with
Jordan Peele for that. I feel like he would have turned that down and
I've with Marvel. I doubt it would happen, but like, you're not
telling me James Gunn doesn't take like, make a meeting with him at some
point too. If you had Jordan Peele and he's willing to talk about IP
stuff, now it could have been specifically X Men, but still like,
if I'm James Gunn, I take a me and be like, hey,
is there anything here that interests you? And I feel like James Gunn is
as of right now in the position to be a bit more offering and say
like, hey, what do you want to do? And because we've seen
some of that stuff before, so I don't know. I don't think this
will, but I want to somehow stumble back to phil your thoughts before we
move on. I think it's going I got nothing luck to say, just
that I ever, but I'd be excited if he jumps on like it too.
Did you cover project? I didn't hear saynything about Peel and X Men,
so I was curious about you. I thought four is what we're talking
about? Four? Yeah, yeah, no, I'd I'm happy for it
if it happens, I'm totally excited for it. Let's get this fucking conundrum
here. Yeah, let's take our neggs break. We'll be right back because
I'm DC Rumors, So here we go.
