Speaker 1: It may the fall off be with you, Thunderbolton, Lightning,
Speaker 1: a very very frightening MCU fivetigue X is for ten,
Speaker 1: popcorn bucket, Brigade Roadhouse two or big pile of poo?
Speaker 1: What else will we get before GTA six and so
Speaker 1: much more? But before that news Dump, Mac, it was
Speaker 1: the fourth of May. Hall what's up?
Speaker 2: Also?
Speaker 1: Oh, that's right?
Speaker 2: And they changed it though? Did they change that in Church?
Speaker 2: You don't say it also with you anymore.
Speaker 1: Look, I'm not gonna lie. I haven't been there in
Speaker 1: a while. Yeah, Jeff Piel, Yeah, I don't know what
Speaker 1: the answer is. So make stars. If you burn the trash,
Speaker 1: it makes stars. But Mac, it was the fourth of May,
Speaker 1: and we had some stuff come out with Star Wars.
Speaker 1: Only two things that appeal to me that will fall
Speaker 1: into news dump Number one somehow has returned to Fortnite,
Speaker 1: and in the game you had a machine gun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's what Fortnite is. It's a first
Speaker 2: person shoot that's actually a third person.
Speaker 1: But all I could think of when I saw him
Speaker 1: with the machine gun is that would have made so
Speaker 1: much more sense if he had that in Revenge of
Speaker 1: the Sith, Like when Mace Windu when he was like
Speaker 1: you're under arrest and he's like no now. As opposed
Speaker 1: to that, Yeah, as opposed to that stupid like twirl
Speaker 1: in status if he had just shot the Jedi.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really liked that. It being the twentieth anniversary
Speaker 2: of Revenge of the Sith, it being made the fourth
Speaker 2: we had many a tweets talking about Palpatine spin jumping
Speaker 2: and killing those two poor three Jedi. Well, yeah, but
Speaker 2: initially those two and then the other guy gets.
Speaker 1: There wasn't enough time to respond. He was too quick.
Speaker 2: It's truly, uh truly, I said it at the time,
Speaker 2: and I've been thinking about it in a few days since.
Speaker 2: It's gotta be the worst lightsaber battle they've ever It's real,
Speaker 2: real bad. It's like easily the worst.
Speaker 1: Also, it was still at the theaters this past weekend.
Speaker 1: I thought it was a one week thing in its
Speaker 1: twentieth anniversary. First twentieth anniversary was Revenge of the Sith
Speaker 1: just added back to theaters permanently.
Speaker 2: Well, it's twentieth anniversary. Technically isn't even until.
Speaker 1: It's not until later this month. Yeah, as we talked
Speaker 1: about in the last episode.
Speaker 2: I think they want they're probably given it two or
Speaker 2: three weeks. It's my guess, or maybe.
Speaker 1: It's too long. Act that's too long. It should be
Speaker 1: a one week thing.
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do if it did? Push it over?
Speaker 2: A nine hundred million Doctors News.
Speaker 1: Also for Star Wars, George Lucas, while speaking to TMC
Speaker 1: or TCM I assume is Turner Classic Movies, on why
Speaker 1: Yoda speaks backwards, he said, because if you speak regular English,
Speaker 1: people won't listen much.
Speaker 2: He's not wrong, he's no time anyone's talking to me.
Speaker 2: I'm not paying attention.
Speaker 1: Like do or do not? There is no try. If
Speaker 1: someone said to you try or don't try whatever, like,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to pay attention to that.
Speaker 2: It does make you because it's almost it almost turns
Speaker 2: it into math. You have to solve the equation when
Speaker 2: Yoda's talking and you're like, hold on a second, what
Speaker 2: did he actually just say?
Speaker 1: I was so excited, me and my wife, My wife
Speaker 1: and I and my son. We went to Starbucks on Sunday,
Speaker 1: or we went to Target. There's a Starbucks inside of Target,
Speaker 1: and I.
Speaker 2: Think Starbucks was inspired by Star Wars.
Speaker 1: It's May the fourth, so it's Starbucks weekend, and on
Speaker 1: the board there was a trivia question and it said
Speaker 1: has many keys, but will not open doors. And I
Speaker 1: jumped instantly piano immediately. Yeah, I felt like Burt Ward.
Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, yeah, do you want to play
Speaker 2: trivia tonight with me and Billy? Where up the street
Speaker 2: from my apartment?
Speaker 1: No, I'm not gone. I'm sick. Okay, all right, my
Speaker 1: fucking body is falling apart right now.
Speaker 2: I feel man, I've been there, done that for fucking
Speaker 2: a decade now.
Speaker 1: So also, George Lucas said, uh, Yoda is basically the
Speaker 1: philosopher of the movie. I had to figure out a
Speaker 1: way to get people to actually listen, especially twelve year olds.
Speaker 2: No, he's right, he's one hundred percent right. Just by
Speaker 2: that little change. Well, I guess it's a pretty big change.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's big change.
Speaker 2: That change makes you hang on every word he says.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. He's death over At the box office. This
Speaker 1: past weekend, Thunderbolts Aster Risk made seventy six million domestic,
Speaker 1: one sixty two worldwide on a budget of one hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty and it seems like they're already taking steps
Speaker 1: to not have a large drop off in week two.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, this was all a part of their plan. Goo,
Speaker 2: this is all a part of their plan.
Speaker 1: I hate it all along, Oh, I love it.
Speaker 2: I hate I love it because this is like the
Speaker 2: fourth lowest opening for them in a long time. And
Speaker 2: so by rebranding, and if you haven't seen Thunderbolts already,
Speaker 2: so be it. This is a bit of a spoiler, but.
Speaker 1: Not really skip ahead thirty seconds.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so at the end of that movie, they are
Speaker 2: rebranded as the New Avengers. And so what they're going
Speaker 2: around now is going over the Thunderbolts part of posters
Speaker 2: and putting the New Avengers. And that's going to rope
Speaker 2: in that borderline audience. Right, that audience were talking.
Speaker 1: The week to drop off. That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: But what I'm saying is they had planned it already.
Speaker 2: They're not trying to combat a week to drop off.
Speaker 1: This was their plan from the Yeah, I'm aware of
Speaker 1: what their plan is. But what I'm saying is, given you.
Speaker 2: Didn't finish my thought, I hate it, lets me finish
Speaker 2: my thought. They're going to rope in that fringe, those
Speaker 2: fringe people that all right, it didn't have the big
Speaker 2: name attached, didn't have the Cathain America of the Spider Man.
Speaker 2: But now it's got Avengers attached to it. Right now,
Speaker 2: it's got eighty eight ninety four percent on Roddy. T's
Speaker 2: anyone that was borderline? Am I seeing it in the theaters?
Speaker 2: They're gonna go see it now.
Speaker 1: I know that. I understand that's what their plan was. Also,
Speaker 1: don't also a part of what their plan was is
Speaker 1: to have I would say, certain people see the movie
Speaker 1: ahead of time and leak ahead of time what the
Speaker 1: of the movie is, so that you can also get
Speaker 1: those people in the first week as well.
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest with you, they didn't do a
Speaker 2: good job of it. Goo, I'm all over the internet
Speaker 2: constantly on chronically on the line.
Speaker 1: All you do is brag internet me. That's all ever.
Speaker 2: Made to me. If your leaks don't make it to me,
Speaker 2: you're not leaking in the right spot.
Speaker 1: So they've rebranded the movie. It'll probably make close, not close.
Speaker 1: You might have a drop off out I'll say thirty
Speaker 1: three percent, which will be fine. No, that's a good
Speaker 1: drop off.
Speaker 2: And like everyone's really liking the movie, So this is
Speaker 2: gonna hold strong for a few weeks. Here it's gonna
Speaker 2: it's gonna make a good amount of money. Like like
Speaker 2: you said, one hundred and sixty two million worldwide, one
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty million dollar budget. It's probably gonna get
Speaker 2: end up getting over five hundred million. I think.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm gonna title this episode Marvel is back. Marlo's back,
Speaker 1: by bay quick bait the shit out of this. Marvel
Speaker 1: is back, and then we'll talk about Yoda to start
Speaker 1: it off. So that's good stuff. Let's see here. In
Speaker 1: its third week, Sinners made thirty three million dollars twenty
Speaker 1: eight percent drop off. It is now over two one
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty six million dollars. It is the second
Speaker 1: fun fact go ahead, I was gonna read it, but
Speaker 1: you can do it.
Speaker 2: I was seeing you up. Here's a fun fact made
Speaker 2: out with your sister. Uh. The second biggest third domestic
Speaker 2: weekend at the box office for R rated film of
Speaker 2: all time.
Speaker 1: Many things going on there, look ahead.
Speaker 2: Beating Oppenheimer and Joker. However, the tweet that I stole
Speaker 2: this from did tell us it was number one, So
Speaker 2: who knows was number one? No one knows?
Speaker 1: Minecraft just under fourteen million, forty percent drop off. It
Speaker 1: is at eight seventy five worldwide, and The Accountant Too
Speaker 1: dropped sixty one percent to nine point five.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to see the account in two in theaters,
Speaker 2: but I will see it when it's.
Speaker 1: Extreamey news damp tons more coming up here for Thunderbolts
Speaker 1: turned up. I don't want people to, you know, turn
Speaker 1: us off for jump Ahead too much. I'll do chapters
Speaker 1: maybe in the description if I can think of doing
Speaker 1: that later, just to try. And I don't want to
Speaker 1: spoil the movie. I hate how Marvel is spoiling the
Speaker 1: movie for to.
Speaker 2: Be fair, not a lot of spoilers in the movie, though, well,
Speaker 2: I mean kinda.
Speaker 1: The Russo Brothers directed the post credit scene in Thunderbolts.
Speaker 2: I told you guys this last week. I don't know
Speaker 2: if you weren't listening.
Speaker 1: You didn't say this last week, did you?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: In the episode?
Speaker 2: Yes, all right, whatever, Yeah, I told you guys this.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that it was filmed on the set
Speaker 2: of Avengers Doomsday, but I did tell y'all that the
Speaker 2: Russo brothers directed it, and they have had a history
Speaker 2: of doing this leading into their Avengers films. Also, a
Speaker 2: part of what we discussed last week is the second
Speaker 2: bit of what happens in that post credit and how
Speaker 2: we think that drastically or I think it drastically changes
Speaker 2: my outlook on Fantastic four. Good didn't really agree. But
Speaker 2: go listen to our Thunderbolts thing and just scroll to
Speaker 2: the end if you want to hear us talking about.
Speaker 1: That news deep more importantly when it comes to the Thunderbolts.
Speaker 1: Julia Louis Dreyfus in the promotion of the movie was
Speaker 1: able to meet the Rizzler, but she was asked about
Speaker 1: it by BuzzFeed and said, no offense to that nice child,
Speaker 1: but I didn't know who he was.
Speaker 2: I hate the Rizzler out on the Z.
Speaker 1: I kind of hate Julia Louis Dreyfus.
Speaker 2: Now, I'll fuck you.
Speaker 1: If anyone should be a fan of the Rizzler, it
Speaker 1: should be Julia Louis Dreyfus.
Speaker 2: Would you say that j LD looks better now than
Speaker 2: she did thirty years ago?
Speaker 1: Uh? No, I think there was a stretch where I
Speaker 1: would say yes, I think now, well she's I don't
Speaker 1: want to speak ill of someone mac okay, but she's
Speaker 1: starting to get a little older.
Speaker 2: Dude, What do you want I think she looks better
Speaker 2: now than Teinfeld ed.
Speaker 1: If I'm looking at like best times, it's the New
Speaker 1: Adventures of Old Christine.
Speaker 2: She did look great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if we're picking one Julia Louis Dreyfus, it's the
Speaker 1: New Adventures of Old Christine. One Julia Louis Dreyfus show too.
Speaker 2: I think that show went like five seasons.
Speaker 1: It went a while.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, with what's his name agent Coulson there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they also were able to fit in one
Speaker 1: title the words new and old. They're opposites, right, and
Speaker 1: that's the way you title show.
Speaker 2: A lot of high jinks in that show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, news dope. Kevin Feige reportedly told Marvel colleagues that
Speaker 1: watching every new MCU project has begun to feel like
Speaker 1: homework and less like entertainment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's sort of echoing the sentiment of a lot
Speaker 2: of viewers. It should feel like homework for him, though
Speaker 2: it's his fucking job. He's supposed to, you know, sort
Speaker 2: of do this. And I get what he's saying. You
Speaker 2: want to enjoy work, you don't want it to feel
Speaker 2: like work. But yeah, dude, it is your homework because
Speaker 2: it's your job.
Speaker 1: No, But I think he's also talking about the vast
Speaker 1: amount of Marvel stuff because he was anti TV shows.
Speaker 1: And here we go in the early twenty twenties, the creatives, well, no,
Speaker 1: did you get rid of some of my stuff here?
Speaker 1: I don't care. He was talking to the Wall Street
Speaker 1: Journal and he was saying that he was against doing
Speaker 1: the television shows, but he wanted to appease his Disney
Speaker 1: higher up. So he said, all right, and he's kind
Speaker 1: of over the years lost the quality control that he
Speaker 1: had during the first three phases.
Speaker 2: I get that, and that's you know, I mean, it's
Speaker 2: it's it's just the natural evolution of it. It got
Speaker 2: so popular that it got even bigger and bigger that
Speaker 2: one man could not conceivably oversee everything. And the other
Speaker 2: note here that you just stopped reading. They said he
Speaker 2: was spread so thin in the early twenty twenties during
Speaker 2: those couple COVID years that the creatives, the directors of
Speaker 2: the writers wouldn't hear for him from weeks, and then
Speaker 2: by the time they got Figy's feedback, it was too
Speaker 2: late to implement it. And we talked about this often
Speaker 2: over the last three four five years, where and this
Speaker 2: is this is heightened especially in multiverse of Madness when
Speaker 2: it was like no one that was making that movie
Speaker 2: had seen WandaVision or knew anything about any of the
Speaker 2: characters involved that movie. And you're like, how is this possible?
Speaker 2: How the fuck is that a thing? And fig He's
Speaker 2: gonna get the blame, and rightfully so, because he's the figurehead,
Speaker 2: just as quarterbacks hit the blame for football teams. But
Speaker 2: for Figgy to get the blame because Sam Raimi didn't
Speaker 2: watch anything in this universe, that's kind of bullshit.
Speaker 1: I think it was more the writers than Rami wasn't.
Speaker 2: It well, he was a producer on it, Like, it's
Speaker 2: just if your writers and directors aren't aware of the
Speaker 2: characters past that they're writing about, they should be writing
Speaker 2: about the character.
Speaker 1: Also having to do with Marvel fatigue, a lot of
Speaker 1: the employees regularly talk about it and are worried about
Speaker 1: the no New Fans club where no new viewers have
Speaker 1: any clue about what's going on, so they're dropping viewers,
Speaker 1: but they're not gaining any new ones.
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, it's it's they just have to
Speaker 2: look at what Star Wars is. It's the most popular
Speaker 2: ip on the page.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do what Star Wars is doing.
Speaker 2: But what I'm saying is unavoidable. Like it's it's cyclical
Speaker 2: and they're only seventeen years and Star Wars is fucking
Speaker 2: forty fifty years in Like it's just you're gonna have
Speaker 2: these ebbs and flows once something gets so popular. It's
Speaker 2: just natural. You and I, like I would say, we're
Speaker 2: that forgiving, but we just love the MCU so much
Speaker 2: that like we do get to disappointed, but we're still there.
Speaker 2: You're still gonna have your core group of fans, just
Speaker 2: as Star Wars does. And then it's those fringe fans
Speaker 2: that like, okay, is Star Wars back? Okay, it's Marvel back.
Speaker 2: Then they come back. There's nothing you can do about that.
Speaker 2: That's natural.
Speaker 1: You want to be like Star Wars. You want half
Speaker 1: of your fans to love you, you want the other half
Speaker 1: to fuck it.
Speaker 2: It's inevitable. It's inevitable. That's like Harry Potter is another thing.
Speaker 2: Like just like it's gotten so popular that fans like
Speaker 2: just simple casting news fans are losing their minds over like.
Speaker 1: Come on, it's like us, it's like Mac and Goo.
Speaker 1: We have old fans. We have no new fans. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't even say fans. I've never used the word fans.
Speaker 1: To take that back. Good listeners, listeners, goobers, guys, Go
Speaker 1: tell a friend, Go steal your mom's phone, rate review, subscribe.
Speaker 2: Go into the Apple store right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, send us your credit card numbers. Please. We're trying
Speaker 1: to figure out a way to make money off of this.
Speaker 1: I think that's the best way to do it. Simply
Speaker 1: too good news dump. Kevin Figi also reportedly has a
Speaker 1: ten year plan for the X Men, beyond the upcoming
Speaker 1: Avengers movie Z. There's two.
Speaker 2: I thought I thought you were going to talk about
Speaker 2: the upcoming Avengers movies first, which I thought was a
Speaker 2: more better.
Speaker 1: Now, that's okay, you can add it into here. I
Speaker 1: don't want to hit that news dump button too much.
Speaker 1: People are getting news dump button fatigue.
Speaker 2: I also went to give you an editor's note at
Speaker 2: the top after you talked about Yoda. I wish you
Speaker 2: had said dump news. You know, well backwards talk there?
Speaker 1: All right, how about this say it now and then
Speaker 1: I'll add it to the beginning.
Speaker 2: Uh kut, I like what you don't need to tell
Speaker 2: us you have a ten year plan for the X Men.
Speaker 2: Just we know that there's a long term plan for
Speaker 2: the x X Men, don't make it an exact timeline.
Speaker 2: So now if it gets bumped off, now we're at
Speaker 2: eleven and now you're a liar. Just we have a
Speaker 2: long term plan for the X Men.
Speaker 1: I think it would have been more news or it
Speaker 1: would have been more newsworthy if he said we have
Speaker 1: a ten year plan for the X Men and it
Speaker 1: all involves Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen.
Speaker 2: It just hinges on these two and if they die,
Speaker 2: we have no replacements.
Speaker 1: The lynchpins of what we're doing.
Speaker 2: And speaking of these Avengers movies, clearly we have Fantastic
Speaker 2: four coming up in a couple of months July, and
Speaker 2: then we have Avengers Doomsday May first of next year,
Speaker 2: and then we're getting Goog Spider Man brand New Day.
Speaker 2: We kind of forgot about that one July of twenty
Speaker 2: twenty six, that is sandwiched in between the two Avengers movies,
Speaker 2: and then Avengers Secret Wars will be in May seventh,
Speaker 2: twenty seven, and I still would be surprised if they
Speaker 2: changed the title of Secret Wars.
Speaker 1: You like music, don't you.
Speaker 2: I'm a fan of music.
Speaker 1: I'd say, is there a song called brand New Day?
Speaker 2: No, that would be on holiday by green Day.
Speaker 1: That's not what I was thinking of on haa day
Speaker 1: work the other day. And I know that Keith and
Speaker 1: Jones have spoken about this in recent months. More than
Speaker 1: half of my coworkers had never heard green Day's brain
Speaker 1: stew featuring Godzilla, and they were blown away by it.
Speaker 2: I think we are at the tail end of original
Speaker 2: Green Day fans. Anyone younger than us only knows American
Speaker 2: idiot green Day. I don't know. Are you a Green
Speaker 2: Day guy?
Speaker 1: I think I was. It was a little before when
Speaker 1: I listened to music. I know, around the time when
Speaker 1: they broke in with Dukie, I was big into Seal.
Speaker 1: I was also, but you're you're the oldest child, so
Speaker 1: you're the trendsetter in your house. As a middle child,
Speaker 1: I would pretty much have to. I'd be into whatever
Speaker 1: my brother was into. So ninety five ninety six, he's
Speaker 1: really into TLC.
Speaker 2: Mariah Catte Boston Calling this year.
Speaker 1: So that's where I fell in and it's just T
Speaker 1: and C now.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, that's right. Lisa Leftaie's parents.
Speaker 1: Well, one of those one of those nineties Instagram accounts
Speaker 1: posted a great looking photo of Lisa left eye very
Speaker 1: attract It was her and uh Cartman doll. I'm like,
Speaker 1: this is a good little photo.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, yeah, Goude. Would you ever get so
Speaker 2: mad someone that you would like their house on fire?
Speaker 1: No, I don't think I would.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't rule it out for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but then you would immediately put it out though
Speaker 1: your instincts would kick in immediately.
Speaker 2: I would be able to help it.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no no no no. Max a librarian,
Speaker 1: that's what we're The joke is when he's not here podcasting,
Speaker 1: he's doing the Dewey decimal system. You know what the
Speaker 1: I was at the library the other day and we
Speaker 1: were asking for a book. We were getting a Magic
Speaker 1: School Bus book. Sure, and uh, I was so disappointed
Speaker 1: that they were able to just put the book into
Speaker 1: their computer and they're like, oh, it's over here.
Speaker 2: You've been able to do that for twenty years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but going by files, you know, dip through there.
Speaker 1: The Dewey decimal system and Thee's.
Speaker 2: Decimal system is for library users, not librarians. Libraryan knows
Speaker 2: where the book is.
Speaker 1: There is no Dewey decimal system at my library.
Speaker 2: I bet there is there is.
Speaker 1: Someone can critique me and let me know if there
Speaker 1: actually is one, but I'm gonna say no.
Speaker 2: Also, while we're here, fuck the Dewey decimal system. Remember
Speaker 2: like then teaching us that and like there's gotta be
Speaker 2: and like in second grade you were like there's gotta
Speaker 2: be a better way.
Speaker 1: Okay, so we were So we learned Dewey decimal system
Speaker 1: and cursive.
Speaker 2: Yeah, two of the more useless things.
Speaker 1: We are the last of the Mehicans who have learned
Speaker 1: those things.
Speaker 2: Can can you tell us anything about the stock market?
Speaker 2: Can do you have any useful life skills? No? But
Speaker 2: I can write book titles in cursive and then file
Speaker 2: them by the Dowey.
Speaker 1: I can tell you where you can find Arthur.
Speaker 2: I remember you used to pull the fucking card out
Speaker 2: of the Dewey decimal system too. That's how you check
Speaker 2: it out. Like in there, there'd be like four of them.
Speaker 2: That means there's four copies of the book. You know,
Speaker 2: what a dumb system.
Speaker 1: I can't stand how my library has their Magic school
Speaker 1: Bus books. They're separated by topic, so like they aren't
Speaker 1: even all in one place. It separateds like nonfiction because
Speaker 1: you're learning or something, but like it's still fiction stories.
Speaker 2: So is their book does each Is it numerical? Are
Speaker 2: their numbers on each? Magic School? No?
Speaker 1: But the way that it's separated, it's by topic, So
Speaker 1: like the stuff that has to do with Earth will
Speaker 1: go with like geography and shit.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I don't know if I like that. I
Speaker 2: didn't like that.
Speaker 1: Just give me a stack of Magic School Bus books?
Speaker 2: Should we start Magic School Bus mondays where you you
Speaker 2: talk about the book that you reading.
Speaker 1: RAFFI great stories. I know the one where they where
Speaker 1: they go to space and that Redhead's cousin goes there
Speaker 1: and she's always trying to bring things back from each planet,
Speaker 1: and then she almost kills all the kids, and then
Speaker 1: the Redhead, to prove his point, takes off his space
Speaker 1: helmet on Pluto and only gets a cold from it.
Speaker 2: I remember this, This kid should be raped? Is Rafi
Speaker 2: watching the cartoon as well?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Nice?
Speaker 1: We're doing the old school ones though, Yeah, no, you
Speaker 1: have to. How about when when when Ralphie gets sick
Speaker 1: and all the kids go inside him.
Speaker 2: That's my favorite episode.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, you kind of look like Ralphie
Speaker 1: Fuck you. I don't look like him, but I would
Speaker 1: describe myself as a Carlos Oh. He's the comic relief
Speaker 1: of the show.
Speaker 2: I did notice a listener of ours on the YouTube
Speaker 2: that I looked like Will Campbell.
Speaker 1: I don't all, no, no, well, he really wants me
Speaker 1: to measure your arms the next time that we're in
Speaker 1: the same room to measure your arms.
Speaker 2: So maybe that's an apt comparison.
Speaker 1: I did. I did bring a tape measure to work
Speaker 1: on the Friday after the NFL draft, and I was
Speaker 1: so annoying. I'm walking around measuring everyone's arms and shit.
Speaker 2: Remember when we were in high school, maybe even middle school,
Speaker 2: there was that stupid fucking thing where we had sit
Speaker 2: down and put your feet up against a wooden box
Speaker 2: and see how far you could reach out.
Speaker 1: How dumb was that I have the tightest fucking leg
Speaker 1: muscles in the world. I would be so bad at that.
Speaker 2: You and I too goaltenders. Maybe this is why we
Speaker 2: sucked two of the least flexible people on the planet.
Speaker 1: I could do stretches at first base, though I can
Speaker 1: almost do splits at first can you still? I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm dying Mac. We already talked about this earlier Googer's time.
Speaker 1: At this point, news up Ryan Reynolds is writing a
Speaker 1: Deadpool x Men team up movie. The film will include
Speaker 1: three to four X Men members, with Deadpool as supporting
Speaker 1: As a supporting character, he is yet he has not
Speaker 1: yet pitched an idea to the studio.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm okay with this because it seems like they're
Speaker 2: gonna use Deadpool as like a pseudo MCU character, Like
Speaker 2: he's just gonna float off to the side so he
Speaker 2: can do a little side question, like a side question
Speaker 2: the Void or side quest in in the Deadpool you
Speaker 2: know universe for lack of a better term, is fine
Speaker 2: with me. I don't know if it's fine with Figy,
Speaker 2: But if you're gonna green light you know, she Hulk,
Speaker 2: you can green light Ryan Reynolds Deadpool x Men movie.
Speaker 1: I feel like she Hulk is from a bygone era
Speaker 1: at this point.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's partially true.
Speaker 1: Because I mean, if he's gonna and I'm also curious
Speaker 1: how much if it's gonna be more of an X
Speaker 1: Men movie with Deadpool as a support character, how much
Speaker 1: is it going to be him writing for Deadpool and
Speaker 1: then someone else writing the big story for the X Men.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be interesting. I mean, none of this matters
Speaker 2: until we get fully introduced to the team of X Men,
Speaker 2: presumably in a year at the end of Doomsday or
Speaker 2: during Doomsday.
Speaker 1: I'm guessing that's the tag for this podcast. By the way,
Speaker 1: none of this matters news dope. Jeremy Ranner has said
Speaker 1: that he turned down Hawkeye season two because he got
Speaker 1: offered half the salary that he made in season one,
Speaker 1: saying I'm like, I'm sorry, why did you think I'm
Speaker 1: only worth half of what I made in season one?
Speaker 1: Is because I'm half a Jeremy because I got a
Speaker 1: run over by a plow right smoked himself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like one of those cat machines that
Speaker 2: he had gotten out of and then basically ran himself over.
Speaker 2: I don't know how to feel about this, because I
Speaker 2: thoroughly enjoyed Hawkeye season one, and I guess you would
Speaker 2: look to Loki for the blueprint as to how to
Speaker 2: do a second season for Hawkeye. Well, I don't know
Speaker 2: what they would do though, because there hasn't been much
Speaker 2: advanced with those characters other than Wilson Fist.
Speaker 1: Well, why don't you do a Hawkeye season two where
Speaker 1: now Hailey Steinfeld is the star of the show and
Speaker 1: you have her working with other characters.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would like to see her kind of maybe
Speaker 2: team up with Spider Man. Would be loosely attached to
Speaker 2: Spider Man.
Speaker 1: Spider Man can't be on the show that it would be.
Speaker 2: My Yeah, I guess that's true. I guess that's true.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know where they'd go, but
Speaker 2: I'm in on Steinfeld, I'm in on Kate Bishop. I
Speaker 2: really enjoyed Hawkeye season one, so I guess I would
Speaker 2: have been for this. But you can't pay your main
Speaker 2: star half of what you paid him in season one?
Speaker 1: Well, have you back same amount of work half the money?
Speaker 1: What do you think? New's dumb? He also seems he's
Speaker 1: a he's a no nonsense person, right, Like he seems
Speaker 1: like he is no nonsense, Like, why would you bring
Speaker 1: him nonsense?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Bullshit? A bullshitter?
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, Like you should have a list of people
Speaker 1: that you can nonsense and people that you can't nonsense.
Speaker 2: Jimmy Renners not one, don't.
Speaker 1: Nonsense Jeremy Renner. Yeah, Mac, we have popcorn buckets on
Speaker 1: the horizon The first how to Train Your Dragon popcorn
Speaker 1: bucket has been revealed. I think this one's fine.
Speaker 2: It's fine. It also sounds like there's gonna be multiple
Speaker 2: how to Train Your Dragon popcorn buckets by it being
Speaker 2: phrased the first. But it's just that black dragon, whether
Speaker 2: it's named in its mouth open two place right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: there you go, something like that.
Speaker 1: We got one that I am gonna buy, and that
Speaker 1: is the fiftieth anniversary of Jaws. There is a popcorn
Speaker 1: bucket for that. It's a shark with an open mouth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like a shark breaching. How its mouth would be
Speaker 2: opened just like that? That looks pretty cool. I do
Speaker 2: think the kids will really like the how to Train
Speaker 2: Your Dragon one.
Speaker 1: And then a Mission Impossible Final Reckoning popcorn bucket has
Speaker 1: been revealed. It can only be opened with a key.
Speaker 1: I didn't see this one. Can you describe it to me? Yeah?
Speaker 2: It looks smaller, more like almost softball sized, maybe a
Speaker 2: little bit bigger, And there's a key to open the
Speaker 2: top of it so you get your popcorn.
Speaker 1: So it's a really small bucket of popcorn.
Speaker 2: Don't make me work for my popcorn here.
Speaker 1: That makes me think of Jimmy Kimmel told a story
Speaker 1: I think on touch Er and Rich about how Tom
Speaker 1: Cruise went to one of his football parties and much
Speaker 1: like mister Burns when he went to the boxing match
Speaker 1: at Homer's house and he just brought a little bag
Speaker 1: of Cheetos. That's what Tom Cruise did, like a little
Speaker 1: individual bag of snacks.
Speaker 2: Well you all remember, we all remember back in the
Speaker 2: day when we would host something, or you'd have people
Speaker 2: over your apartment in your twenties. You know you're there,
Speaker 2: you're having a grand old time. You'd bring some beers
Speaker 2: for people who drink. Everyone remembers the dickhead that only
Speaker 2: brought a six pack for themselves. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I would bring a thirty pack, but then just have
Speaker 1: it to myself hundred.
Speaker 2: Well sure, yeah, and you were fine if there'd be
Speaker 2: some leftover, you know, or your twelve pack of root
Speaker 2: beer would I would gladly drink your leftover root beers.
Speaker 2: But my point is we all know the person that
Speaker 2: used to come and just bring the six pack for themselves,
Speaker 2: and you're like, what, why are you here? You don't
Speaker 2: want to have fun with us.
Speaker 1: I'm bringing my winning spirit. I'm here to talk about out,
Speaker 1: uh Stefan Ridley for three hours. That's why I'm here.
Speaker 1: Here's dope a trailer for The Smashing Machine. This is
Speaker 1: an a twenty four movie starring Dwayne the Rock Johnson.
Speaker 1: And is it Amy Adams that was in it? No,
Speaker 1: Emily Blunt, Emily Blunt. This is coming out on October third.
Speaker 1: You can tell that it's The Rock because of his
Speaker 1: massive really well, because of his massive size. You look
Speaker 1: at him and you say.
Speaker 2: Big fucking dude. Yeah. They did a good job changing though.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The prosthetics.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta be otskew. This looks really good.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The first trailer makes it look really good. And I
Speaker 2: drafted this in the movie draft, so I was somewhat
Speaker 2: interested in it, mostly because I'm leaning on the Safty
Speaker 2: whatever Safty brothers.
Speaker 1: I think it's Benny, right, I think so.
Speaker 2: But man, if if The Rock was ever gonna make
Speaker 2: a career change or show that he can really act,
Speaker 2: it's this movie. So you know, he put poured his
Speaker 2: heart and soul into it. And we talk about how
Speaker 2: in the past, how The Rock has only played The
Speaker 2: Rock exclusively for a really long time, and in direct
Speaker 2: contrast to that, Dave Patista showed a ton of range.
Speaker 2: So this is The Rock's chance to really break the mold. Granted,
Speaker 2: he's playing a big guy, but he's always gonna be
Speaker 2: a big guy. I'm I'm like pretty optimistic about this
Speaker 2: movie now.
Speaker 1: And I also so we do. We joke around a
Speaker 1: bit about Martin Scorsese and about some of his stuff,
Speaker 1: but like the fact that he most likely saw footage
Speaker 1: from this movie, saw some of what The Rock is
Speaker 1: doing in this movie. He's like, I'm gonna put him
Speaker 1: in my movie telling us that The Rock is doing
Speaker 1: some good stuff here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's it's a good note. It is a
Speaker 2: good note to see Scorsese, a guy like staunchly against
Speaker 2: every movie that The Rock has made.
Speaker 1: Yeah, casting The Rock. There's death. Also going to trailer
Speaker 1: for Now You See Me, Now you don't. I did
Speaker 1: not watch the trailer because I want to go sight unseen.
Speaker 1: When I came to the theater, I just.
Speaker 2: Wanted to be so surprised for the third Now You See.
Speaker 1: Me, I did see in the movie post Or there's
Speaker 1: a lady standing upside down and I'm so nervous that
Speaker 1: she's gonna fall.
Speaker 2: Well, she's she already on the ground.
Speaker 1: No, so like the stair it's they're all on like
Speaker 1: they're all super imposed on staircases. And then there's this
Speaker 1: one lady who's upside down up against the ceiling, and
Speaker 1: you know, if the magic wears off, she's gonna.
Speaker 2: Fall, she's gonna have a boo boo, She's gonna.
Speaker 1: Break her neck. That's not a fun movie. It's it's dump.
Speaker 1: Black Bag is now streaming on the cock Steven Soderberg,
Speaker 1: Michael Fassbender, Kate Blanchet. This is one of the best
Speaker 1: reviewed movies of the year so far.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll probably watch it this week, hopefully. And we
Speaker 2: have been starved for good movies in twenty twenty five,
Speaker 2: so I'm open.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, we've hit a stretch of some good movies.
Speaker 2: We have two in a row, but those are the
Speaker 2: first really two good Yeah.
Speaker 1: One more, and that's a winning streak.
Speaker 2: It's true. It's a good point, good point.
Speaker 1: News. Dump Guy Ritchie is efficiently set to direct Roadhouse two.
Speaker 1: Is this the that was made with AI? The first one,
Speaker 1: wasn't it.
Speaker 2: I don't know why this movie is getting made. The
Speaker 2: first one or the remake is terrible. The Jill and
Speaker 2: Hall's back. Guy Richie's here, So I posit you good?
Speaker 2: Would you rather watch Roadhouse two or be delivered a
Speaker 2: big bag of poo?
Speaker 1: I think the reason for this this had a morebius
Speaker 1: like Internet uprising of people that were like talking about
Speaker 1: this but in jest. And I feel like the the
Speaker 1: the Amazon, that's who's doing it. It'saw this and they
Speaker 1: like people like Ronos. I guess we're going to make
Speaker 1: a Ronos two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember we got the morebious re release. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it made like seven dollars.
Speaker 1: And everyone's like, you didn't get the joke. But also, it's
Speaker 1: morbid time.
Speaker 2: That's a that's not a bad comparison news.
Speaker 1: It's time for max video Game Minute, even if it's
Speaker 1: way more.
Speaker 2: So. GTA six good delayed to May twenty six, twenty
Speaker 2: twenty six, and I say, goo, GTA six put this on.
Speaker 2: The fucking episode title is just the Big Dig of
Speaker 2: video Games. Gt Big Dig of video Games?
Speaker 1: So well, so what do we call in the episode?
Speaker 1: So it's Marvel is back and GTA six is the
Speaker 1: Big Dig of video games. People are gonna think that's spam.
Speaker 2: We are now all getting all of these before GTA
Speaker 2: six Scream seven, somehow something called the Ghost of Yota.
Speaker 2: I don't know what the fuck that is, Squid Game
Speaker 2: season three, Avatar Fire and actually getting a third or
Speaker 2: fourth Avatar movie I don't know. Before GTA six, Stranger
Speaker 2: Things season five, we're kind Avengers Doomsday. Before GTA six,
Speaker 2: We're getting the Mandalorian and Grogu. Before GTA six, we
Speaker 2: are getting the Super Mario Brothers movie two before GTA six.
Speaker 1: I don't mean to popoo on your parade here, Mac,
Speaker 1: but I'm of a mind to think that this movie,
Speaker 1: this not move. This video game is not going to
Speaker 1: come out.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's tough. They've been working on it for
Speaker 2: like ten years' probably gonna come out.
Speaker 1: If it does come out, it's gonna be really buggy,
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be really shitty.
Speaker 2: No, I think that's why it keeps getting I think
Speaker 2: there's a reason.
Speaker 1: I think there's something afoot here. Really, I think there's
Speaker 1: something afoot.
Speaker 2: All right, you do that investigative journalism NEWSDA.
Speaker 1: Finally, it's the last minute, So how about Mac break
Speaker 1: down the last of us. I still need to start
Speaker 1: the season episode four.
Speaker 2: We're in like a certain aspect of the story here really,
Speaker 2: these last two episodes, episode four, characters have begun revealing
Speaker 2: things to each other. We're in a I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: call it a lull, but we're in the middle part
Speaker 2: of the season where we need certain characters to meet
Speaker 2: certain characters before other things can happen. I think Diana
Speaker 2: is the best character on the show right now. That's
Speaker 2: Ellie's best friend, and she's been a welcome addition to
Speaker 2: the show. So I think if you if you haven't
Speaker 2: started watching, now is a good time because I believe
Speaker 2: this is only seven episodes, so jump in now, and
Speaker 2: you only have a couple to look forward to on
Speaker 2: a week to week basis.
Speaker 1: News depe check us out at the end of the week.
Speaker 1: I don't know what we have planned. We got to
Speaker 1: do something.
Speaker 2: Any movies out this week?
Speaker 1: I think Friendship is next week, right, yeah?
Speaker 2: Friendship gets limited released this week, I think, and then
Speaker 2: full release in two weeks.
Speaker 1: No limited release is this Friday.
Speaker 2: That's what I just said.
Speaker 1: I wasn't paying attention to you at all, So what
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? T Ball was canceled tonight. I
Speaker 1: was reading my phone.
Speaker 2: Oh well, it is pouring, it.
Speaker 1: Is, it's raining it's not a good day for t ball, you.
Speaker 2: Know what I really like. And so, my nephew is
Speaker 2: about the same age as Raffi. He's four and a half.
Speaker 2: He's also in T ball and Hudson. They have sick jerseys,
Speaker 2: sick hats. When we were kids, we had like paper
Speaker 2: bochet T shirts, those fucking trucker hats.
Speaker 1: When it rained, they would just fall apart.
Speaker 2: I mean, I appreciate I liked it to have good gear,
Speaker 2: but our shit was fucking dog water back in the day.
Speaker 1: Also, I brought my son to his first Red Sox
Speaker 1: game yesterday. And let me tell you this fen Waite Park. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we live in Boston. Fenway Park. It's expensive. It is
Speaker 1: also what is this with stub Hub ace ticket? What
Speaker 1: is this convenience fee that costs almost as much as
Speaker 1: the tickets? What is happening here?
Speaker 2: You don't have enough connections these days so you can
Speaker 2: get free tickets.
Speaker 1: I don't like asking people.
Speaker 2: Okay, what did Raffi eat at the ball game?
Speaker 1: He had himself some chicken fingers, He had a little
Speaker 1: bit of a hot dog, he had ice cream. They
Speaker 1: ran out of the little helmets.
Speaker 2: That's disappointed.
Speaker 1: There's like sixty more home games this year. What are
Speaker 1: you gonna do? How do you run out of helmets?
Speaker 2: I know? Hey, do you see speaking of ice cream helmets?
Speaker 2: You see the ground round is back in Massachusetts?
Speaker 1: Do they have ice cream helmets?
Speaker 2: Yeah? That was You don't remember that. That was the
Speaker 2: whole thing at the Ground Round. You try to get
Speaker 2: all the different MLB helmets at the ground You don't
Speaker 2: remember this. You're a callist the ground Round. You used
Speaker 2: to serve their ice cream in the helmets, and you
Speaker 2: tried to collect all the helmets from the ground mac.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this. How much do you think
Speaker 1: a twelve inch Wally the Green monster stuffed animal cost?
Speaker 2: Twelve inch Waile of the Green? So you bought a
Speaker 2: Infenway or one in the team store there, you know,
Speaker 2: in a regular store. I would say probably like eighteen
Speaker 2: to twenty dollars. It's got to be like one hundred
Speaker 2: percent increase there. So I'm going to say thirty.
Speaker 1: Five fifty dollars.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you paid fifty dollars for a Wally stuff?
Speaker 1: Well, let me explain this to you. So I was
Speaker 1: with my son and he pointed to it. I'm like,
Speaker 1: that's fifty dollars. We're not getting that. Yeah, And then
Speaker 1: I went to wait in line for the ice cream
Speaker 1: and then he comes sauntering up with his mother holding
Speaker 1: the Wally stuffed animal, and I said, that is fifty dollars.
Speaker 2: What are dollars for a water of the green? At
Speaker 2: least it's a foot.
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's roughly a foot.
Speaker 2: Let's sew. You you paid just under ten dollars for
Speaker 2: every inch of Wally Greens.
Speaker 1: So we got right field set. So first off we
Speaker 1: sat by the pesky pole and my son spent the
Speaker 1: first five minutes just staring at right field and I'm like, hey, Bud,
Speaker 1: you know the action is at that away. So I
Speaker 1: had to turn him to watch the fucking game. Then
Speaker 1: for food and everything else, it's forty something dollars plus
Speaker 1: a Wally stuffed animal. It's fifty like going to Fenway Park.
Speaker 1: I understand it's his first game. We're trying to make
Speaker 1: it special. Lots and lots of money.
Speaker 2: Uh that great. My math is really bad. By the way,
Speaker 2: you paid just at our five dollars per inch.
Speaker 1: Which is how Max sells himself on the streets on
Speaker 1: Friday nights. You paid whatever, early paying like ten bucks
Speaker 1: but still.
Speaker 2: Four point one so whatever point one six of a
Speaker 2: dollar is, would that be sixteen cents? I guess.
Speaker 1: I will say this though, if you have kids, bring
Speaker 1: your kids to the game on Sundays because you get
Speaker 1: to run the bases after nice?
Speaker 2: Nice? Was it a packed stadium?
Speaker 1: Pretty packed? And then running the bases was also packed?
Speaker 2: Nice? Did he enjoy that part?
Speaker 1: He did? He enjoyed the whole time.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's actually impressive. He made the whole game.
Speaker 1: Well, we got there like second inning, plus it rains,
Speaker 1: so you walk around a little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well that was my day at Fenway, and now
Speaker 1: we have a wally.
Speaker 2: Well, did you feel good about your day afterwards?

Speaker 1: I became ill on Friday night. Gotcha, it's been a
Speaker 1: whole weekend thing.

Speaker 2: were really wondering, did you utilize one of the Fenway stalls?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: No, Oh, you're able to hold it together?
Speaker 1: I did. I held it together.
Speaker 2: Nice. Credit to you.
Speaker 1: I only ate one Fenway Frank, those are good. I
Speaker 1: needed something solid in my top.
Speaker 2: What are those run these days?
Speaker 1: Six fifty that's it, yeah.
Speaker 2: Steal, that's the best, best price.
Speaker 1: It's a good value for three chicken tenders and a
Speaker 1: little basket of fries. It's like thirteen to fifty.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's not too bad either.
Speaker 1: That's pretty bad.
Speaker 2: Not compared to the Garden. You go to the garden.

Speaker 1: twenty five bucks you get a full bucket of chicken
Speaker 1: with like ten there.
Speaker 2: Someone's wrong here, and I feel like if.
