We'll be going from one all the way to Fallout.
We will not be doing Dead Reckoning Dead thank you.
Dead Reckoning, Yeah, because we already have that review, so
we'll just be re releasing that review on the feeds
in anticipation of Mission Impossible, the Final Reckoning. So lots
of stuff coming on to your headphones, your podcast players,
whatever you listen to, we're gonna be there. But before
we get into this news Kirkle, I had something to
pop up, and this should only take like five minutes,
but and Travis is here. Travis would lose a shit
if he lists here. He wouldn't let me do this,
but I wanted to do it with you because I
thought this would be kind of fun.
Speaker 1: We're gonna RaSE our podcast friends.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly right. I was watching this this reel
and it was like this guy was doing an etiquette test,
and I was like, this is a very unconventional etiquette test,
but there's actually some credibility of this. And if you
were listening on the podcast version, that's fine, I'll dissect
it for you. But if you're on the video version,
that's where we want to be to watch this. I'm
gonna share my screen here and don't worry, Travis. I
know you will listen to eventually, but you can just yeah,
it's all good. So this is a urinal etiquette test,
and I saw yes. Now, so there there's uh seven
urinals here, yeah, and now two of them are occupied.
So you've got the left one open, the far right
one the three middle ones are available, which one are
you going for here?
Speaker 1: I'm going dead center. I'm going right here.
Speaker 2: That's that's I'm considered that absolutely correct. Now what are
you doing in this case? So guys still second to
the left, and then the guy's third from the right.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's funny. So just to interject here, my
dad and I were talking about this, how like this
is like it's almost like it's it's second nature to
me because it's like I have the answers to the
test right now because I'm gona choose. I'm gonna choose
the far right one here, and then like like we
both show this to like my mom and then Shay
as well, you know, both females, and like they wouldn't
understand they haven't gone through a urinal situation. But to guys,
it's just natural. But anyways, I'm I'm acing these keep
keep hitting them up.
Speaker 2: You got it? That's you know, that's the right answer. Okay,
how about this, Oh, this is a tricky one. The
two on the left are taking the one on the
far right and one empty one than one three over.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this one's a little bit trickier. I initially my
heart was thinking the one on the left. I think
that's a trap. I think I'm gonna go the one
next to the gentleman in the middle on the left side.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that one, right, Yeah, that's exactly right. Yeah, you
can't go right in between these two, No, definitely not.
Speaker 1: They're gonna both be looking at you and be like,
what the hell's the matter with you? Yeah?
Speaker 2: That's right, all right. A couple more left, this one,
I feel it's pretty obvious to and left.
Speaker 1: Two in the right, dead center.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how about this one. There's six available stalls and
only one guy is in here, but he's second from
the left.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I would go far right here, as far as possible,
from the.
Speaker 2: Far as possible. Yeah, that's right. Did we do this
one already?
Speaker 1: I think so. Dead center would be my my option. Okay, oh,
this one's trick now.
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, it's intervals here, empty field, empty field.
Speaker 1: I think there's I think there's two better answers and
then two worse answers. And I would say the two
better answers are the ones on the end, the far
left or the far right. It kind of it's interesting
because I feel like in this situation, it depends where
the sink is, if that makes any sense at all, Like,
if the sink is on like the far left, I
feel like I'm going far right just to get a
little bit away from the sink. Users, Like, what do
you think there? Do you think I'm right?
Speaker 2: I was thinking far left or far right until you
mentioned the sink that is spot on. I'm going as
far away from that sinks exactly.
Speaker 1: You know, some some guy might be trying to get
a peek while he was washing his hands or something.
You never know. That's well said. Let's keep it going.
I'm gonna say the far right one here, the far
right one. Yeah, far right one's taken. But you want
to be as far away from the the two gentlemen
in the middle too.
Speaker 2: You do, And I feel it's just a weird snare
because if you show up after the fact that it's like, okay, well,
which one of those two gentlemen went right?
Speaker 1: That's a good that's a good point. If someone's like
you can you can hear them like on zip and
getting ready to start like that might change the answer
because you want to be you basically want to minimize
the amount of time that you're sitting next to someone
or standing next to someone. That's our situations.
Speaker 2: I feel that's exactly right and I think that's it. So, yeah,
that's a that's an easy past for you. I'm gonna
wip that out again on the other guy for Travison
down next time. See what they pick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll judge them based on their answers. I got
funny though, I feel like I've done that test before.
I feel like back in the day, it might have
been like a phone app as well. It's called like
the urinal test or something like.
Speaker 2: That old Facebook quiz or something. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was on BuzzFeed, wasn't it that that would
make sense. I might have done it on BuzzFeed. They
love their their quizzes. But cool, that was a good
way to start.
Speaker 2: Good nice breaker. Yeah yeah cool. Okay, Well, now you
beared with us throughout that, So we're gonna get into
our first topic here, Avengers, strew Wars and doomsday leaks. Now,
if you haven't been following along, there was a bunch
of stuff that got leaked a little bit of drama
over at the Marvel Marvel Homestead. But we're not going
to be sharing the images here live because if we do,
that'll be the end of geek Verst podcast as we
know it. So we're just gonna be looking at these
photos off to the well, off to the side, or
so I am I allowed to say that? I think
I'm allowed to say that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, come on, yeah, we're just.
Speaker 2: Not showing them, but we've seen them because other people
did the dirty word if you if you want to know,
just google it.
Speaker 1: They're they're everywhere. The images are everywhere. They're what would
you call it, the the artist rendish concept concept hart.
Thank you, that's exactly what they are. They're on the interwebs.
You can go check them out.
Speaker 2: Uh, which one would you like to start with? Kirkland?
I feel like there's one in particular I like, Uh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think my favorite out of the bunch, for
just comic reasons, not comic book reasons, just just comedic reasons,
is Uh, there's an image we have, mister star Lord.
I guess also, you know this isn't like a legit thing.
This is just concept art, So this might not be
completely accurate. Take it with a grain of salt. But
all that being said, maybe potential minor spoilers here for again,
concept art or concept ideas of what might be seen
in adventures, So that's my disclaimer. Anyways, my favorite one
is we have mister star Lord and what appears to
be the White Vision himself, snow Vision, whatever whatever you
want to call him, and they're just chilling on the couch.
It looks like star Lord is crushing a beer. They have.
They have multiple alcoholic beverages as well as a pizza
that's untouched, some burritos, a couple apples on there, which
is nice to see. But yeah, various alcoholic beverages, which
maybe they're just chilling and having a party. Who knows.
Maybe this is like a dark period of star Lord's
life and he's just he's relying on the sauce, because
there does seem to be quite a bit of a
booze there. You know. I don't want to judge. He
has gone through a lot, but still I feel like
some it's somewhat concerning. And I don't think Visions drink
in any of this, because he's a he's he's a
he's a non human. I'm sure he could drink the beverages,
but I don't think it would be hitting him with
the same reaction that it would for a human. So
uh yeah, this one, I just I just chuckled because
I'm like, this looks so stupid, like like, and then
I realized that this is like potentially leak concept art,
and I'm like, man, what are they cooking up over here?
Like this is gonna be like a Thor endgame situation,
you know, when we have fat Thor and he's he's
not doing so well mentally, kind of in a depressed, depressed,
a depressed era of his life, just falling from the
events of Avengers Infinity War and and just the results there.
But yeah, it was just it's just a weird image
to me. It looks very ai E. It's concept art,
you know, so it's not supposed to look live action ly,
but just the pair up I think is the weirdest
thing of them all. And then in another image later on,
star Lord's hitting the sauce again, so I'm like, man,
they're really just gonna make him like a boozehead here,
which I don't We'll wait and see what happens. Maybe
maybe it's like, well, he's just likes you know, a
glass here and there. But just based off this one image,
there's there's many bottles there, and I feel like that's
a bit of a red flag.
Speaker 2: But we kind of saw him as a boozead too before, right.
I think it was Guardians three where he was drinking
at the start, or was it the Christmas specials?
Speaker 1: Well, I think it was the Christmas besh no one
of Oh dear, my memory is fading me. It's one
of those two projects. Anyways, Yeah, he's he's not doing
so well the loss of Gomora. Obviously that that's a big, heavy,
heavy hitter there.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think it's a hilarious photo. Again, we
haven't seen snow Vision outside of Marble's wet if, so
this will be his first live action return.
Speaker 1: It's Wanda vision. That's crazy.
Speaker 2: Wanted it so long ago. It was yeah Geese Louise,
So I'm all for it, and I'm actually kind of
not expecting to see star Lord back in action. But
I can't remember if they said Starlight would return when
we got to the end of Guardians three. You can't
remember if it said that or not.
Speaker 1: I don't think it did. He was he was meeting
the old chap right, he's me.
Speaker 2: And his grandfather, grand Grant. Yeah, so I'm I'm definitely
down for that. It's it's it looks like it's a
fun little crossover, and I'm I just love those characters
that are just unconventionally no affiliation, just being spruced together.
And like you said, getting to the other scene where
he's he's drinking, and you got Wong and you got
Kate Bishop, you got oh, what's the little ant girl
Barnette Stature.
Speaker 1: I think is her her like Collingbook name statue.
Speaker 2: Here's her name's not Stinger.
Speaker 1: It might be I Stature is a character that I thought,
Uh yeah, Cassandra Langan that's the one.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh. We got Wicked in there, we got Miss Marble.
And there's this other little chap behind Wickan who I
can't figure out who he is.
Speaker 1: Of course I imagine that's the other brother.
Speaker 2: It's the twin. Yeah, oh my goodness.
Speaker 1: Got my finger up in the air here. So Cassandra
lang no notable aliases according to the interwebs here aunt Girl,
Cassie Lang, Stature, Cassandra Lang, Giant Girl, and Stinger. So
they're all they're all applicable there. I'm curious what because
I don't think they gave her like a comic book
superhero name in Quantumania if I haven't rewatched that movie
in a while. But uh, I've never rewatched that movie. Actually,
I don't think they gave her one. Yeah, so just
Cassie Lang. But we're both right cool.
Speaker 2: And then we got, uh the slimer from Ghostbusters of
the X and X Men symbol chest. I know this,
You're gonna people are gonna hat, but I don't exactly
know what that X symbol means.
Speaker 1: Symbol isn't it isn't that like the X Men symbol.
It looks very similar to like a like a old
like the symbol that they have on the old X
Men jackets and suits and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does. I thought it wasn't X Men but
something else.
Speaker 1: Okay, I thought right away it was just X Men.
It's an interesting collaboration of individuals though, and it is
a sick cape here, man. I I'm I'm not a
big fan of capes overall. I think Incredibles really shined
light on the the the irrelevant nature of capes, but
on certain individuals. You know, we love a good shoulder
cape here in the geek verse, we do.
Speaker 2: I would rock shoulder capes again in real life if
it was accepted by society. This guy's name is Dupe
and he does have infiliation with X Men. Very just
I didn't realize that logo was actually the X Men logo.
I thought it was some other kind of group or
crew that was affiliated somehow I wanted to give them.
Speaker 1: I think it's the symbol for Xavier High School in
uh in New York City, where Matt Murdock famously went.
Speaker 2: That's right. So yeah, there's there's a whole bunch of
interesting characters just all grouped together here, and it's really
amazing just to see this lineup of young Avengers do
I dare say, just kind of teamed up in the
situation old, young and old, and Wong is still just
the key to the He's key to the MCU. He's
tying everyone's stories together, so.
Speaker 1: He really he's the Infinity Gauntlet of the mc right now.
And each project is a stone in and of itself.
Very curious at the location. Again, obviously it's concept art.
This could just be a cool bar that they designed,
but it feels like a Guardian's type world, whether it's
UH nowhere or yeah, like I was gonna say, like
nover Prime, but that that has like a very specific
type of ata and it got I'm realizing as I'm speaking,
But yeah, it just looks Guardians Z almost Star Wars Z,
like just sci fi in that nature, like somewhere off
off world where a lot of these characters are like
Earth based. So I don't know if that was just
because it looked cool to draw it that way. But
like Kate Bishop, you know, it's hard for me to
picture her going out in space just because she seems
like a lot more grounded of a character. But hey,
Hawkeye did it.
Speaker 2: He did do it. Actually, yeah, it's a good point.
If it's not a Guardians related I could see it
being like temple doctor Strange style temple.
Speaker 1: Where they practicing sanctums.
Speaker 2: Yeah, something sanctum related, Yeah, because it has those kind
of vibes as well, candles and stuff like that. But yeah,
we'll have to see for sure.
Speaker 1: We also get a image of a mister doctor doom
And on his throne. I love this image. This is
like a phone background at me, this looks so badass.
Which which one the one on his throne where he's
got like the fur coat?
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it. I mean the other one, it's
a cool shot of just kind of showing like the
hierarchy situation, like he very much is in that royal esthetic.
Yeah no, I I just like the vibe of it.
It's like a medieval spin, like like the characters their
clothes that are wearing. It's almost like Victorian era, like
just like in the past, but but not because your
ruler's wearing like a metal mask and looking like a
sci fi character. So I just like the clash of it.
He's got a young chap next to him, might just
be like a halfling, who knows. But yeah, no, I
like that that one, but specifically, like just the shot
of him alone. I just love that image. It looks
so sweet. Doctor Doom is one of the coolest aesthetics
and like all comic books to me, like just just
the metal mask, it's it's so phenomenal. And I really
really love the fur on it as opposed to just
like a green cloak. I like the fur.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do too. The he's got just this, yeah,
this very medieval appearance to him, even though he's a
super villain. Yeah, just the hood, the cloak and the
gauntlets and everything. I would totally dress up like this
daily if I was allowed to. He just looks so badass.
Speaker 1: My goodness, what kind of work like that?
Speaker 2: That's right, it's weird to think that Robert Downey Junior
is going to be in this suit, this scam. But again,
he's good at wearing iron suits, so it's kind of
fitting he is.
Speaker 1: Is he good at wearing furs? Though? We'll find out.
Speaker 2: We will find out. This Doctor Doom feels very different
from the other Doctor Doom and the other photos, so
it makes me wonder, are they like different Doctor Dooms?
Are they supposed to have been the same.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I also though, like because of his concept hard
I know, they do many different versions just just try
and like, like even the Silver Surfer one it says
like previous version, option one, option two, so they just
you know, they're trying to solidify ideas when they do
art like this. But I mean, speaking of I love
Silver Surfer. That's probably one of my favorite like combook
characters ever, just just just the like philosophical nature of
what that character is, combined with the really sweet aesthetic,
the near infinite power level. Yeah, I just love Silver
Surfer and the fact that we're getting closer to it
is getting me so excited, and then obviously they gender
swap them, so I'm just, yeah, interested in seeing this
new version. And yeah, I just got giddy because I
love that character and we're finally getting close to to
seeing it again as opposed to Rise of the Silver Surfer.
Speaker 2: And it's interesting too because it obviously it looks like
it's some Fantastic four kind of arena or building or
something with a flag yeah background, and then I'm assuming
that's read Richard's there with the hair.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, one hundred percent. He's got the classic like
silver whatever you would call that grain aging hair. I
guess you could also call it I mean like she
is in Fantastic four, right or they I don't. I
don't even know if they put a gender on Silver Surfer,
so it would make sense that that's what this image is.
But just curious what's going to be building off of
that movie? Actually, like get going towards Avengers. If these
are supposedly leaked concept arts for those projects, but we're
we're getting them in Fantastic Four, it can only to
me it just makes it just makes it really double
down on the fact that it's going to be building
onto something. I mean all of them, so you kind
of does that builds upon itself into the next projects,
but just for the big ones now for Avengers, I'm excited.
Speaker 2: M yeah. Uh speaking of those other projects, we got
looks like what Hulk or something like that going on here?
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, all.
Speaker 2: These green guys running around and Kate beckhams sale is.
Speaker 1: Kate Becky confirmed casting choice there? That's uh, that's exciting.
Not confirmed for anyone that doesn't can't read through my lies.
Speaker 2: Scar's hair looks so much better in this, folks. Yeah,
Scar basically the stead of the stage Scar, Shehawk and Thor.
I'm we're assuming it's Sheehawk unless it's just his lover
on this planet Hulk scenario, I don't know, but assuming
it's the fam jam. Yeah, Scar just looks so much
better in this concept art.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I I do agree. I mean, the one time
we did see Scar looked pretty bad. So it's it's
pretty easy to up that. I'm just again, it's it's
it's a it's a different type of era aesthetic, maybe,
I'll say, for lack of a better term, like how
I was mentioning the one image of doctor Doom and
his kind of thrown room there. How it just seems
like a Victorian era like something that's very different than
our modern era. Again, this looks very medieval agey sort
of just just based on like the buildings. I honestly
get like attack on Titan vibes because it looks like
they have a giant wall in the in the background there,
just surrounding the perimeter. Yeah, it's just just cool ideas here.
And I never thought I would be getting this excited
for an image with Scar on it. But let's see
what happens, okay, back in stale gets me excited?
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it gives me hope. Gives me hope to
see some more Scar action here, and hopefully he is
not dying anytime soon.
Speaker 1: You might still be dead first. You might get low
keyed at the start of Avengers, right, that's right.
Speaker 2: What do you think about this one where this guy
being chained up here? I have no idea who he is?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I really don't have any thoughts really, Like
it almost looks like is this steam coming off of
him or is he getting poured on by something. It's
a black and white image, pretty like crude drawing, not
in a negative sense. Just like for details wise, it's
kind of hard to dissect who this is. There's no
symbols or colors or anything to really pull from. Yeah, no,
I really don't know who this is.
Speaker 2: Maybe he's a ghost rider and they pour water on
him to keep him extinguished.
Speaker 1: Oh that's an idea. Yeah, it's interesting too. He's kind
of like in a pit, looks like I don't know,
like a foot high or something. Yeah, I don't know.
There's just a lot like maybe he's down a well,
who knows, who knows? I don't know. It's really not
like scratching any knowledge bubbles in the back of my
mind that I can pull from any means. We got
a really sick Wakanda photo. I would imagine this is
t'chala junior.
Speaker 2: He's aged quite well those concept art.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's looking he's looking swoll underneath that suit. I like,
the big panther in the back. Just just really cool aesthetics.
I mean, Konda always has like really really cool costume
designs and everything. So him rocking this suit again with
the cape and they even gave him like, what is
it the it's like a vampire like caller thing. I
don't I don't know what the hell you would call that,
but it looks it looks pretty sweet.
Speaker 2: Just the popped collar kind.
Speaker 1: Of yeah, just the pop collar, like I guess, it
looks sweet.
Speaker 2: I agree, it looks super super cool. I'm excited to
see what they can really do with with Wakanda and
Black Panther after their whole Wakanda Forever movie and not
really seeing anything because are we still getting that show?
Speaker 1: I believe so. I can't remember the name of it.
Was it just called Wakanda Forever.
Speaker 2: No, that was the movie. There's still Wakanda stuff in
the working.
Speaker 1: So that's that's good, and it's Eyes of Wad coming
out this year August six.
Speaker 2: I'd like to get just a little bit more information
leading up to what's going on with Wakanda and Black Panther,
because I I don't mind. You know, we get Avengers
and maybe they kind of show a little bit of
development there with Wakanda Black Panther, but I don't want
to just be like, oh, here he has little t
Challas like all grown up in his thirties, Like, well,
I'd like to see a little bit more kind of
context here.
Speaker 1: But yeah, for sure, Yeah, I feel like We definitely
aren't lacking origin stories in the Marvel Cinematic universe, Like
we get so many for every character, and even though
we've already gotten one for a Wakanda character, even like
kind of a couple like like Suri, as well as
kind of like everyone that they introduced actually in those movies,
we've got a bit of their backstory, whether it's kill
Manger and stuff like that. But I'm down. I'm down
to see this. This junior T'Challa just just really like
not only just becoming the new king, but like living
up to this like what his father's legacy was. And yeah,
it's gonna be There's a lot of juice there that
we can squeeze out, So I hope you don't just
skip over all that. Just well, this is our new leader,
and he's just been the leader for a couple of years,
you know, like I let me get there. Hello, detour late,
but glad you're here.
Speaker 2: It's gonna make a wizard is never late joke, But
but he is. I bet my tongue and I feel awkward.
Speaker 1: So I here we are dissecting your awkward biting out
the tongue.
Speaker 2: I guess our last pick is the Missus ultron, yeah,
going on or ultra ultra this, I've ultra that's good.
I've never watched it all the way through. Maybe I have.
I've never seen never on the review the movie Species,
Uh you know that old nineties one with the actor
Autoactavius was in there, nineteen ninety five. Okay, three of
them and the first one. It's just they they they've
send a message out in the space and a message
comes back on how to like with alien DNA or whatever.
So they take the alien DNA, mix it with a
human and they create this woman and she basically her
plans to go out and she escapes in a lab
and her plans to go out a mate and then
spread off spring. They're all like parasitic like Zeno's and
stuff like that. When I look at this, this just
makes me immediately think of that design of just the
alien woman.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at her right here. Have you have you
ever never seen the movie? I've never seen this at all.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: They gave her some nipples on this too.
Speaker 2: It's yeah, it's really very very nineties, very nice.
Speaker 1: It actually is pretty like it's not a stretch. Just
to see the similarities to the old female Ultron and
this creature that's terrifying. Good movies, you like them.
Speaker 2: I think the first one was okay, yeah, because yeah,
it's got the guy who Blackhamera's name. He played Octavius
out from Elina, Thank you. It's got the guy who
was the Foster father and Free Willie to Jesse. Uh
So that's a deep pull. But that's about it.
Speaker 1: I don't know anyone like Michael Madison that Gaytino movies.
Tarantino movies. Michael Madison, you got Ben.
Speaker 2: You just whip that name out. I did not realize
that he was. Oh my god, yeah forst Whitaker. That's right.
So it's got a stack cast Michael Madison, holy ship.
I always do him as the Free the Foster dad
from Free.
Speaker 1: You're probably one of one on people who would like
refer Michael Madsen for that movie like you got all
these great Tarantino performances, the dad from Whitaker. Man, I
just man, it's hard for me to see pass Forrest
like I've seen him so many things, but now it's
just his character from like and or A Season.
Speaker 2: Two tailor Brogue one.
Speaker 1: The way that he talks, it's just very memorable.
Speaker 2: Any cool, well, anything you want to add to Ultra.
Speaker 1: Ultra Uh No, I don't think so. I I like
the idea of Ultron as a character. I didn't really
love the usage of him in Age of Ultron, just
the uh oh my god, I can't remember his name now,
James Spade, James Spader something like that, the actor that
that did the voice for it. I've just seen him
way too many times in the office, so like every
time you talk, I just picture Robert California and his
like weird quotes that he would have and just brought
the character down for me. However, what if made that
character like so high up on my my my fan
list of just like the power level of him. So
I'm kind of in a weird in between era. But
I I'm not giving up on the idea what that
character is h So I am open to seeing a
different version of it, and yeah, Jender swap, maybe let's
go curious who they cast if they do do that,
And it seems like a very normal thing for them
to want to do, especially if we're just getting the
secret wars of different variants or different versions of characters
from different universes. Obviously, we're getting like a like a
different version of Silver Surfer. We're getting who knows, whether
it's Tony Stark as Doctor Doom or if it's just
Victor von Doom played by Robert Downey Junior. Who knows,
But I'm I'm excited for just yeah, the mixture of
who we're going to be seen. There's some cool, cool
images here to kind of break down. So I liked
what I see for the most part.
Speaker 2: It'd be weird if it was like if Ultra was
a creation of Doctor Doom this time around and coincidentality
Doctor Doom is, Oh yeah, just be a weird thing.
Speaker 1: It could happen. I don't. I don't want that to happen, though.
Speaker 2: No cool anything else you want to sneak in there?
Speaker 1: For Avengers for Avengers, No, I'm gonna hold my breath. Beautiful.
Speaker 2: Well, on that note, we're gonna take a clean ad
break at the thirty minute mark here, we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: Thanks for the timestamp, Taylor.
Speaker 2: Let's get so our next wonderful topic is in a
galaxy far far away. I cannot wait to get into this. Kirkland,
are you looking forward to what we're about to talk about.
Speaker 1: I am so excited and curious about what we're gonna
talk about. I know, like the head hitter, the heavy hitter,
the main name. I guess on what we're about to
talk about, but I know nothing further, so inform me
and the listeners.
Speaker 2: I'm okay, yeah, I'm gonna blow your minds here. So
there's some be to your scoops that just dropped. And
this is basically touching back on the topic of Ryan
Gosling popping up in a Star Wars movie. We were
discussing this a few news casts ago, and the concept
basically for this is that it's gonna be set five
to six years after Episode nine. Ryan Gosling's Star Wars
movie will star him and a young male padawan he
is possibly playing a Jedi, and that there's gonna be
a male villain in the film. There are supposed to
be like four major female roles that they're casting for,
but roughly this is kind of just the the scoop
as of now. So I want to get your thoughts
because I mean, you're a big Ryan Gosling fan.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, yeah, he almost never misses. Uh yeah, I really
do love Ryan Gosling and he's fantastic. I've seen him
in dramatic roles. I think I prefer him in comedy roles.
I just think it it's more on my wavelength. His humor,
like it just gets me more. Like he is great
in drama roles as well, but I just love him
for his his comedic chops. It's it's weird seeing him
tie to something like Star Wars because it is just
such a big ip and it like an extreme example
on negative side would be comparing it to something like
how we got Jack Black in Star Wars. And I
love Jack Black, I love Star Wars, but it's like
the two of them together, it's just it's just something
takes me out of the the immersion I think of
that world we have had obviously, like famous actors in
Star Wars, I just think there is certain, yes, certain
actors that take me out of that immersion more than others.
And Ryan Gosling is very much that for me, because
he's just Ryan Gosling man. Like, it's gonna be hard
for me not to picture him in these other projects
that I've seen, whether it's Barbie Remember the Titans. You know,
I'm a big defender of that movie. I fucking love
remember the Titans? What else we got?
Speaker 2: We got?
Speaker 1: What's the Love one that he's in with Steve Carrell?
Speaker 2: Oh, crazy stupid love, crazy stupid love.
Speaker 1: Like I Yeah, I love all these projects. Notebook, I
guess is another class. I was trying to go for
niche ones, but it kind of failed because I started
with Barbie. But yeah, I don't know, it's it's just
the idea of him in this world. I guess. I
kind of had that with Jude Law and he did
surprise me. I actually really liked him in that role.
And I actually didn't just see him as jew Law.
I really liked him in that role. So yeah, I
think initially I'm a little bit stand offish. However, I
had been proven in the past that big actors can
hit me with the immersion. But then there's the Lizzo
and Jack Black combo that that really didn't do it
for me. So I'll try not to judge it until
I see it. It is a beat your Scooper, It's
not confirmed or anything like that, but yeah, I'm open
to try it, but I'm still a little bit standoffish
and just what you pitched with the him potentially having
was it like his padawan is sorry I missed that.
I don't know exactly, just him and a young padwan.
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm just gonna say, yeah, a p I Yeah, so.
Speaker 1: Him and a padawan. I guess they could always do
the thing that like, well, he is actually a villain character.
I don't really want that. He's a good actor. I'm
sure he could do it, but it's because I align
with his comedy side so much more. I think I
would just prefer him in either a scoundrel or a
more jovial type position as opposed to like him being
a menace. But we'll wait and see. You know, it
could be impressive. But yeah, I like the hot goss.
He's good stuff.
Speaker 2: Hot gosh. Yeah, I think he landed that right on
the head of the nail him in a Star Wars movie.
He's just he's got that face, that recognizable face, And
you're right, Jude Law was the same scenario. But with
him popping off his skeleton crew, he can really detach
him from being Jude Law and embrace him as this character.
And I love that about Jude Law. He does it
so well. So I'm holding on to hope that that's
going to be the same case when it comes to
Ryan Gosling. The idea that he could be a smuggler
or a scoundrel and he just has a Jedi that's
teamed up with him, a young Padawan. I really like
that idea. I think that's a lot of fun. It
makes me wonder what the context would be because if
we're talking five six years after episode nine, the only
Jedi master is Ray Skywalker. There's no other There's no
other Jedi, maybe obviously Finn, but we don't really know
what happens with Finn after this point in time. There's
not really any comics or narratives that really describe what
goes on there, so we can kind of keep him
excluded from this this kind of narrative for now and
just look at Okay, what is Ray doing. Is she
going off training a new Jedi. I'm assuming she is,
because she's got the Sacred texts and she's got the teachings,
and she she has a little bit of knowledge and
insight as to what she's doing, having defeated the Sith
and faced off and redeemed Kylo Wren and so much more,
and trained under Leah. So there's a lot that she
has to go off and started the new Jedi Order with.
So if she's got if she's trying, like I don't
think she's going off and taking kids when they're like
two or three before they experience emotions and taking it
into children, just kidnapping children. Yeah, it wouldn't work because
if this is five six years after those kids with
the Padawan, it's gonna be like eight years old. So
then what kind of a movie are we doing. Are
we doing an eight year old Padawan teamed up with
a scoundrel of smuggler? Or is Ryan Gosling a Jedi Master?
Well that doesn't work because then where did this other
Jedi Master come from? Because it's five or six years
after Rise of Skywalker and then we get this whole thing. Well,
if he is a Jedi Master, that are we doing
the thing that Travis hates where it's like, oh, Luke
was not the only Jedi. There's actually twenty other Jedi
Masters alive at the same time. So it gets a
bit murky and convoluted. So I hope that they tread
lately and they play this well. Like I said, I
would love it if Ryan Gosling was a scoundrel or something.
I think he could play that role really really well.
He could do it well. His face in the like
the robes of a Jedi, I can't picture it. I
just wouldn't be able to take this seriously. So yeah, yeah,
I agree the oh sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 1: No, I was just gonna quickly add initial thoughts. I
feel like they are going to go the route of like, well,
there was more out there, you know, like like you
thought you were, but there is more, and I I'm
kinda I'm not like super against or super for that idea.
I just don't want it to always be the cop
out answer that there was more out there, like I'm
okay with like, oh no, there actually was more out
there that just completely shut them off themselves off on
the force or like some reasoning like that. There's some
great stories of that kind of happening already established, but
I I just don't want that to be like the
that's the easy, get get out of free, get out
of jail free card, you know, where it's oh, well,
we didn't really have to tie in why this character
or what they were doing around that era, because they
were just they're just in hiding or maybe they're just
really far away and they just they're out of the
Imperial uh you know, galactic event like it just yeah, yeah,
just messing.
Speaker 2: I mean it is, And I mean we can definitely
look and see how there are Force users out there,
like Grogu who's opted out from being a Jedi. Maybe
there's other Padawans that survived Kylo Ren's assault on the
Jedi Temple that Luke built, and they'll swing that in.
But all I know is just you have snow can
sing like, oh the last Jedi, Luke Skywalker, so forth
and whatnot. So it's they've set themselves up already and
if they kind of revoke a little bit of that,
it does get messy, and I don't really like it.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: I am very curious what they're gonna do for a
male villain in this film. I can't imagine they're touching
Sith at all. I don't think that's even gonna be
a thing. I don't think we're gonna see a dark
Side user or anything like that. I reckon you're just
gonna get a young Padawan dealing with General pirates or
something like that. And that being said, sure that's okay,
but as much as Acolyte has its own problems. I
know people are not overly fond of that show. God Damn,
seeing Kaimer face off against like five Jedi and just cleanly,
just take them down was one of the smoothest, slickest
things in Star Wars for a long time. Then I
would really like to have a little bit more of that,
with more Sith and more Jedi facing off. It should
not be that hard to do something like that, for
fuck's sakes. But I think though, hopefully whatever they do
and why they're why they're casting four major female roles,
it's curious as well. I wonder what they're thinking, what's
gonna be be Like, maybe it's like a Van Helsing thing.
We're talking about where we got the Empire Dracula and
he's got his three wives, three major female roles.
Speaker 1: That would be anything close to Van Helsey, And I'm down,
let's get to Van Helsing except by Star Wars. Yeah, No,
I'm I am intrigued by who they're gonna do for
a villain. I feel like it's gonna be some sort
of imperial like loyalist guys, just because we've gotten that
before and it seems like the Empire is just such
a big thing that for it to just be completely
wipe out because of like a big event, I feel
like it's a lot more believable that they're it, Okay,
the main pillars broken down, but then like the rubble,
like there's still loyalists to that idea of what the
Empire is. So I feel like that's a pretty easy
whether you like it or not, I just feel like
it's an easy explanation where like, no, there was actually.
Speaker 2: Like a repeat though, because they did that with the
first step.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you're you're right. It's just like the scale
of these galactic events, it's it's hard for like my
mind to even wrap around just because you know where
we're living right now, We're only on Earth, but like
they have different systems, they have different like not even
just different planets, like different systems and different galt like
just yeah, like the scale of everything. That's where it's
honestly more believable that there is many other factions out
there that are still loyal to the Empire. And I
feel like it's it's a harder pillow swallow for myself
that it's like, no, they're just completely wiped out and
everybody's good now because the Empire is over. So yes,
it's easy to follow that same trend of been there,
done that because of like what you just said that
we have had that already with the First Order and
even even like Mando, right, like like there's there's other
stuff that isn't necessarily were they first Order in Mando
or is it just.
Speaker 2: Like those are imperial remnants that's pre first Order?
Speaker 1: Oh right, I have my Arizon all wrong here. But anyways, anyways,
like many different sub factions and just power hungry, you know,
like like what the like what the I never remember
is mof Is that their title?
Speaker 2: Moths? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like there's just those types of chaps out there
that are nefarious and want just power. Like I just
feel like there's next to infinite amount of those, and
even if they're not affiliated with the Empire or anything
like that, I feel like it could fit a similar
type of role of like a general just yeah, and
it could be a pirate general like like who knows,
and yeah, I do want to see something new, but
I I also feel like that is the easiest one
to pull from. But who knows, maybe're gonna be completely
wrong and it is something completely new that we haven't
seen before, Like just an interesting new alien villain that
has different motives, almost like a you know your your
blue dude. What's his name?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the cat Bane.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I was talking with the other one. Oh,
we've already seen Thron, But like just that type of character,
you know, where he's a lot more deep of like
it's it's not just the classic Imperial motives, Like there
is more underneath the surface. That just makes an interesting character,
not even just a villain, but there's many things they
can do. It's a big galaxy.
Speaker 2: I would love it if they just brought back to Themidians,
the Trade Federation, just they rise to power those those
That was one of the favorite things that I from
seeing that Star Wars clips trailer. When you see those
it's a Lucre Hull class ship. That was like it's
the Orb and it has like the ring around it,
the thing Anakin blows up as a kid. Just get
a few of those in there too. That would just
be just prequel heavy bank on the prequels again, and
I al would just suck her in a lot of fans.
I'm sure I'll be sweet. Yeah, yeah, but I mean
there's so much Legends content that they could really source
from if they wanted to tackle more into this post
Episode nine era. And the Ryan Gosling movie. Pretty sure
that's separate from the Ray movie because the Ray movie
that's her own thing that she's doing. But I'm getting
so convoluted with all these projects. It's getting tricky kind
of keep up with them because they've announced so many
and they keep canceling so many. But on that note
of announcements, we've got the Star Wars celebrations schedule for
twenty twenty five'll be taking place April, and basically we
got the Mandalorian and Grogu that'll be on the Friday morning. Actually, sorry,
let me get the specific dates here because I just
got what's happening over the weekend. So it is taking
place April eighteenth to twentieth, and this is in Japan. Nice,
So we have, yeah, that Friday morning, we have the
Mandalorian and Grogu, and we know I believe that they've
wrapped up a few things with that movie, and so
I think that they're just they're an ed editing mode
right now. We got and Or season two on Saturday morning.
Ahsoka on Saturday Afternoon and Star Wars Visions Volume three
on the Sunday. So, okay, that's what they've announced the
panels for, and there's gonna be other things sprinkled there
in between, I'm sure. But me and Travis were talking
about how, depending whether or not Kathleen Kennedy is out
the door, based on recent discussions prior to this couple
weeks ago, they might not want to announce a lot
as she's leaving. They might want to save some of
those announcements and just have her and her career with
you know, Mandalorian and then Grogu and and or season
two and then hey, oh we got new leadership in
taken Over. Here's a whole bunch of new projects coming
in with this person, right, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: No, absolutely, So the Star Wars celebrate it's not an
every year thing, right, like the last one you and
Travis covers. Yeah, that was in Europe, right, it was
in London or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because we were up at like three am one.
Speaker 1: It was the wee hours. Yeah. I remember at work
the next day I was listening to and you guys
were energized. It was good. There was some great announcements,
some things that we'll probably never see, which is unfortunate
how that aged a little bit poorly. But like that
was when they announced the Ray movie, you know, and
and they had like the different just types of projects
that were like talked about whether it was like the
different eras, like the old Republic era stuff, and it
was just a really enticing thing. So it's just it's
sad and funny to look back on it. It's like,
you know, back then, we probably thought we would have
some of those projects out or some more details and whatnot.
But I mean, yeah, I don't really know what to
expect from it. Like you did mention the things that
seem like safe announcements, I don't think it'll be anything
too crazy, especially what you guys kind of mentioned around
Kathleen's on our way out. It's and like it doesn't
have to be just wrapped around her departure that they'd
be holding onto things. But it just seems like also
just me as the fan that doesn't trust anything that
they say right now when it comes to announcements, it's like,
let's not get too crazy. Let's just release a project
and then we can we can get excited on just
one project at time. Let's not do the whole slight
thing and over promise under deliver, because that just that
just leaves a salty taste in my mouth and many others.
Speaker 2: It really does, really really does, and they've done that
with so many movies now, because if we don't know
where that mangoled Donna the Jedi movie is at right now.
And yeah, they get to delay the Ray movie little
bit more and Man Laurie and Grogu's not out till
next year. I'm hoping that we get a trailer or
something juicy.
Speaker 1: I'm sure we will, even just a shooser or something
if it's about a year out. If they don't, that
would be extremely concerning disappointing, but I'm sure they'll scraunch
something together.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then with end or season two, I'm because
it'll be popping off a few days after and so
I'm sure they'll bring the cast out on stage and
talk about and an ahsoka. I'm looking forward to that
because we know that the first season ended on such
a big cliffhanger, and they've been little bits of rumors
with season two, so I'm excited to see what kind
of cements out of that and what they're gonna show.
I mean, they haven't done anything on this project aside
from I think just some castings, so I don't know
what it's gonna entail. If they show, hey, here's some
of our concept art, you know, and then show off
some things and ideas, I don't know, but I would
love it if we could just get a little bit
more concrete information on what's going on with that that season,
because I think you should. I know you haven't watched
season one yet of Ahsoka, but you really should. It's
freaking awesome and I'm biased, so I do.
Speaker 1: Want to, especially because they do touch on thrown stuff, right,
and that's just such a mystery factor for me. I
know he's no, he's juicy, you know he's blue, you
know he's red eyes.
Speaker 2: But you get Lightsaber battles. Nice, let's go uh and
Star Wars Visions. You're a big fan of the Visions.
Speaker 1: I love Visions. Yeah, Visions is great. So and then yeah,
it's in Japan. I know a lot of the artists
for that like the visions because they they they handed
them over to different studios. I know some of them
were from Japan, so I imagine they got some spicy
stuff going on. I feel like that's the animated hub
of the world is in Japan, so I'm hoping for
some juice there. But yeah, I'm sure like the fans
are going to be eating it up. I just feel
like the Japanese people are just are just so into
the Star Wars stuff, so I'm sure it'll they'll be
hyped up. And yeah, crazy time change though, are you
guys committing to the wee hour monitoring? That depends what's going.
Speaker 2: On actually, because that's if I am correct, I think
do do do?
Speaker 1: Do? Do?
Speaker 2: I want to say that it's our Easter weekend April April? Yeah,
April eighteenth. That's good Friday, and so Easter is that
whole weekend. So I will get back because I'm out
of town that whole week and I come back on
the eighteenth. I'll be back very late on the eighteenth,
so I'll probably be missing whatever.
Speaker 1: Well know, if the time change is there, maybe I
think like a day ahead of us, So is it
like eighteenth.
Speaker 2: So it would all be on the seventeenth then, right,
because it would be ahead of time.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm going to Japan, I haven't. I
haven't practiced the time change.
Speaker 2: You'll have to teach us when you get back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because this is happening before I'm going, so you'll
know all about that's right.
Speaker 2: That's right. Uh yeah, So stuff to look forward to.
Let's Star Wars stuff popping off right now, believe it
or not, So we just seek with and Or coming up.
I'm very excited for that. The trailer and thes they've
been dropping are just so juicy.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that is Yeah, Star Wars. I'll always
love it, even if it's like atrocious. I always got
my Star Wars legends or I always have like my
projects that have already been released, video games and such
like that. But it's it's hard to get really excited
for things coming up. But man, and Or that's that
first season. Now that's peak cinema for me. Like I,
I fucking love that show so much. So I'm big
expectations going to season two, and I really hope that
they deliver. Yeah, Well, find out about Andy Serkis's.
Speaker 2: Character maybe you know, yeah, did he did he make it?
Did he still swimming? No, he's still swimming.
Speaker 1: He's at the bottom of the ocean. Probably cool.
Speaker 2: We're gonna take another ad break here and we'll be
right back the fifty mark, fifty one minute mark. Yes,
as gentleman. So, oh, we're gonna be stepping over into
the secret service of Oh Bond, James Bond. So there's
a whole fiasco going on with the rights and everything.
It has been absolutely chaos and mayhem. And so it
looks like here we go. We got Amazon basically leading
the charge with this. Now they're top choice for Bond,
not the actor, but basically helming the project, Christopher Nolan,
And it seems that there is mutual interest actually involved here.
The thing is, though, there's another huge project that is
basically occupying Nolan's time right now called The Odyssey, and
we all have seen the cast list for that. It's
through the roof. So what happens here? Do you do
you think like Nolan makes the time? Will will it happen?
It's gonna be like after the Odyssey? Is Amazon gonna
wait for Nolan's schedule to free up? They're gonna get
someone else. What do you think is the itinerary of
events here? Yeah? I don't really know the.
Speaker 1: I don't want to say believability because I do believe
that he is their their top choice for that maybe
just like the actuality of it happening in my mind,
I would say, I'm well, first of all, I'm totally
down for the pairing. I love Christopher Nolan. He's probably
my favorite director, if not top three for sure. I
just love his projects. He's just so great at telling
these like big, vast, big idea type stories, a lot
of action. A lot of his projects a lot of
just drama and twists and whatnot, And I feel like
that's just ripe for a James Bond project. I especially
just like coming off of Ten, and it seemed like
he always wanted to do a James Bond project, so
that was kind of his version of it with his own,
you know, Nolan weird time stuff going on in there.
But for him to actually do it, I'm sure he's
a massive fan of the Bond franchise, so I'm sure
it would be a big passion project for him, and
I think that he would do an incredible job. I
think all of his films are great, if not amazing.
So yeah, that's that's kind of my own personal biases
of how I would feel about the project. But in
terms of it actually happening and how it would happen.
I think it would just come after I don't think
there's a big rush to get these Bond projects out.
Maybe I'm misunderstood in that, but and maybe because it's
transitioning over to Amazon's hands versus you know, the Veggie
Tails over at the Broccoli family, whatever those those characters are,
But I think that they would Yeah, I don't know.
I'm kind of in a weird spot here because I
feel like my initial thoughts is they would want to
wait and do it properly. But it's also Amazon that
is just a money just a money farm, and they
just want to push out projects and make money twenty
four to seven, So maybe they would rush it, and
maybe that would turn the quality of it. So yeah,
I'm pretty unsure. I'm pretty neutral I think on this overall,
other than just the fact of having Nolan in there
would be exciting for me. But I just think it
would come after Odyssey, and if it is the number
one choice and the like we really want Nolan to
do it, then I would say they would just wait
until Odyssey is over. But it seems like we've already
seems like they're deep in that project already. Maybe I'm
misunderstood and believing that, but I don't think it would
be too far down the road. And I just feel
like Nolan's such a fucking busy guy, like like is
like last projects come out. I'm like, man, he's gonna
chill for a while, and it's like, no, He's got
Audissey coming out with all like every actor known to
man in this project. It's like, oh, okay, Yeah, this
guy just doesn't fucking sleep. But I don't know, he's
kind of in the prime of his life right now,
so just keep squeezing him out and only.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he uh, he's just dedication to just going like
movie to movie to movie is crazy. And he's got
a pretty consistent track record of every like three to
four years. Uh. Even I guess too, because he did
let's see like The Prestige two thousand and six, The
Dark Knight two thousand and eight, Inception twenty ten, Dark
Knight Rises twenty twelve, Interstellar twenty fourteen, Three years later,
he's done Dunkirk. Three years later, he does Tenant, three
years later, it does Hoppenheimer and Now three years later
twenty twenty six. July seventeen, he's gonna have the Odyssey,
so I said four years. No, it's more it's two
to three. Really, Uh, that's crazy. So that would mean
then after I'm assuming twenty twenty six, we could see
James Bond project moving forward at Amazon with his schedule
kind of clearing up. Yeah, so well, I know, yeah,
release wise, I'd say after twenty twenty six, but I'm
sure maybe even throughout twenty twenty six he could start
working on it, or there could be discussions, there could
be writings and script conversations and whatnot unfolding. It's funny
because there it seems like a lot of directors have
kind of dropped off the map a little bit when
it was unveiled that Amazon is in control and kind
of took over the mantle. Here the Long Legs director,
because he was basically there was a redditt Ama that
was happening, and he was asked, Osgoode Perkins is his name?
He was asked, are you open to directing a Bond
movie or trilogy? If so, who would you cast as
your version of Bond? And he immediately responded and said no,
because fuck Jeff Bezos, So.
Speaker 1: He no, No.
Speaker 2: The Long Legs director okay, I was gonna say, I'm like, okay,
never mind. Then I don't think no one's gonna do yeah.
Later development just ships all over them. Uh you know, yeah,
so they were pitching it around. I guess just a
lot of other directors just kind of like they're like, ah, no,
we're we're no longer excited about the the idea of
helming a double seven movie. Did I say, uh uh
detall Bezos? Am I saying that wrong? Bezos?
Speaker 1: Bezos? I think Bezos is how I say it. But
I've heard Bezos.
Speaker 2: Oh so maybe he's laughing talking me. He's laughing because
he's typing in how I said it? Bezos?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you said Bezos. I think most people say Jeff Bezos.
Speaker 2: Bezos.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that's how do you mostly hear it?
You normally hear it Bezos, or I hear I hear Bezos.
But I say, I I paniced, and I just said
Beze Canadian. You know that's how we talk. We say
Bezos say we're Southern Canadian. Yeah, Donofrio, Jennifer Conna, Lelly,
whatever the hell you called her.
Speaker 2: That's right. I told Madison that after we watched Top
Gun Maverick the other day and she was laughing, Oh,
you watched the other night, man, I watched you watch
that too.
Speaker 1: Fuck. I love that movie so much. Oh my gosh, man,
you're missing out.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: That that end, like the mission just gets me going, Oh,
I just want to go join the Air Force. Yeah,
put me in the F eighteen man. I'm ready. I
played flight simulator.
Speaker 2: Fifth Gen fighters. But yeah, so I don't think I
have anything else to add just I think Nolan doing
a James Bond project would be absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. He's always like, is that Canadian?
Just different pronunciation?
Speaker 2: But of both?
Speaker 1: Okay, you know we're different up here.
Speaker 2: It's my lack there of I don't know, classiness, your
own flair, it's your own signature. That's rights.
Speaker 1: Also, so it's funnier if I'm picked extre and the
Long Legs director saying.
Speaker 2: That Perkins, yet, anything else you have to add on
to that? Or she moved to our trailer discussions.
Speaker 1: I'm honestly more intrigued on who they cast as Bond
more so than the director of the project, just because
I mean, directors do most of the work. But in
my mind, the character like the character is the James Bond,
So I'm I'm just really intrigued on who that is.
And obviously massive Daniel Craig fan, but thinking back on it,
of just kind of where his career was before he
was cast as James Bond, Like he was nowhere near
the level that he is now. Obviously James Bond was
a big part of that. But yeah, it can be
a role that really makes people's careers. So hopefully they
find some juicy young talent in there. Would you want
a younger actor? Well, I'm just seven fifty four year
old James Bond, who's just like crusty around the end.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, how many new actors does Nolan really?
Speaker 1: He knows every actor the world. Okay, so he's just
gonna he's he's on the set of Odyssey. He's like, hey,
you want to be you want to be James Bond?
Speaker 2: Is my is my Bond? I don't know, like I
feel like he'll go with someone no, because I don't
know how much say it's really going to have with
the project with you have these other the other three
kind of like so closely attached to the hip to
their their Bond franchise, so I think you'll probably get, yeah,
a new unknown kind of person who will be up
and coming. And then I think Christopher Nolan, though if
he had his say, he would probably be like, you know,
let's get someone that I've worked with before. Let's get
Christian Bale in there is James Bond or.
Speaker 1: Something, James Bond, Christian Bale, that's right, the twilight of
his career. I don't know if that's harsh. He's he's
still great. You know, he's still cooking. We can move on,
move on.
Speaker 2: Cool. Okay. So our first trailer teaser, I guess not
trailer teaser Alien Earth. So they did at the Oscars.
They did a quickly little sizzle reel where they showed
a couple of new shots and they showed the infamous
Zeno morph basically just hovering over a dude ready to
just go to town on him. And then that's right,
they showed an extended other alternate kind of like marketing
teaser thing. It was like three minutes long, and it's
basically you see some of the crew members and the
crew attaches a camera to their cat and so the
cats run around. It's the cat's perspective running through the
ship and you just see through their lens basically the camera.
I thought it was great and I absolutely would take
like a longer project of a cat just their perspective
running through a ship and just seeing the alien run around.
All you see though, is just the crew going through
some hardships, talking and everything like that. And I believe
this is the ship that's supposed to crash land on
Earth the series. But the cats run around, you see
that they're I feel like they're up to no good
because there's vat canisters. I think they're the same canisters
that have like face huggers in them and whatnot. So
I think that this is, uh, whatever's going on here.
This ship is obviously it's what the crash Lindes on Earth.
And then we get a Zeno morph running around on Earth. Yeah,
what do you think of of all this so far?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm super excited for this project. I'm
just I'm a sucker for Alien. You know, we did
the retro alien. Covenant was such a fun time. Wait,
not Covenant, Romulus. There you go. Covenant was a fun time,
but not as fun of a time as as Romulus.
But uh yeah, I love the world of alien. I
love the xenomorphf I. I just I love so many
aspects to it. So I'm very excited for this project.
I didn't love this trailer like at all. Really, it
just it was I feel like also, I was like
I didn't have like a good copy of the trailer
for some reason. It was just really fuzzy. Plus it's
like it's like the iPhone type of perspective because it's
it's it's like a camera on the cat and I
was watching on my TV, so I got like the
big fucking flat screen TV and I'm just watching this
like tiny little thing and a lot of shaky cam stuff.
I thought it was okay mostly just like I think
the thing I got the most out of it is
like we're getting closer to this project, and this project
is real. Okay, sweet, I'm good. But it wasn't too
keen on the trailer itself. But it's not really trailer,
so it's kind of hard for me to judge in
that sense, just just like I guess the marketing ploy
of what it was for lack of a better term.
But yeah, super excited. I man, just like when I
hear like the noises of the ship and everything, and
just like those those familiar tones that are from like
that original Alien originally one of my favorite movies of
all time. So I'm just such a sucker and biases
towards that, so really excited for the project. Wasn't a
big fan of this, but I really don't need anything
to sell me on this. I'm gonna be their day
one no matter what. Yeah.
Speaker 2: On that note, are you more excited for this or
for bad Lands? Dalton Dolar It says.
Speaker 1: Bad Old is the Predator project? Right, bad Lands? It's
a good question. I really love both universes and both Yeah,
I guess it's kind of the same universe thanks to
you know, any of these versus Predators. I am excited
for both. I'm probably more excited for bad Lands, and
that's just because of I didn't love this trailer but
asked me on a Wednesday. Maybe I'm the other way around.
That's just how like split down the middle. I kind
of am so sorry for not answering the question directly,
but yeah, I think I'm gonna say bad Land right now,
just because I think the idea of what that Predator
project might be is really interesting to me. I personally
like Pray more than Romulus, even though Rhemus was great.
But just yeah, no, I'm I'm juiced up for some
for some good Predator action. But also it's EENI more faction.
They're both, they're both great.
Speaker 2: So I don't know, I've heard tell that bad Lands
will be from the Predator's perspective.
Speaker 1: I can't remember if that's I'm fucking down, let's go.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, let's just I think that they've learnt a
lot of rights and wrongs with this franchise, and they're
gonna do something really really spot on with this movie,
and so I'm definitely more excited for that project than
I am for Alien Earth just and I think too,
I've already gotten Alien content within the last sooner and
sixty five days. I think that's it too, yeah for me,
So just taking a bit of a breather between that
and just getting more Predator, I'm totally all for it.
Between the two. I'm just gonna I just want to
reference something here because fenn Ay Alvarez, he was in
an interview and they were talking to him about Alien
versus Predator. I'm gonna quote. I'm gonna quote what he
says here because I think this is this is hype
the way I would do it most likely, if it
could be done this way. It's hard to keep secrets online.
The best AVP will be the one that you don't
know is a VP until the other guy shows up.
You think you're watching a predator movie and then they
land in some place and they're creatures, and fucking hell,
it's a xenomorph. That would get me. Fuck yeah, you
go crazy, or vice versa. You're in an alien movie
and suddenly a mysterious creature is there and you can
hear that sound and you see the cloak, and you go,
is that a fucking predator? And it turns out it is.
That'd be the way to do it, don't you think?
Speaker 1: Once you.
Speaker 2: That scared me. But yeah, I couldn't agree more. That
would be the way to do it. That'd be so sick.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that so hard to h though, so hard
to hide with like how easily weeks get out there
these days. But I completely agree that would be the
way to do it, and I would be fucking I'd
be the rock just sills.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you ll sounds sounds painful, god damn. Oh yeah,
so again, but I'll be there day one. Like you said,
alien is alien and I love me some alien. Uh,
how do you feel about? Uh? Going back to the
Poony Verse? Here, were you there for the win of
the Pooon movies? I can't remember, No.
Speaker 1: I I'm sorry to play the cop on it. I
didn't watch the trailer. I am so not interested in
the Poony Verse, and I didn't really think of that.
That's what Travis spelt it. I didn't say it out
loud until now, the Poony Verse. But that's kind of funny.
But tell me, Taylor, why why should I jump in here? Terrible? I.
Speaker 2: I you know, if they hire me to do marketing,
I would do a ship job because I don't know
how to I don't know how to sell this movie.
This trailer it was pulling me out. Is the c G. I.
I could get on board with the Win the Pooh,
Blood and Honey one and two because it's a little
bit more practical. But just Bambi, I'll give Bambi merit.
Here it looks like a when Dingo.
Speaker 1: Or when to Go?
Speaker 2: Sorry, just terrifying, dear antler demon thing like absolutely freaky
beyond compare. But it's not I don't know it just
has the bad acting and all that. I mean, that's
again that's the cornice, the cheesiness that these movies have.
But this isn't gonna be the one that's gonna be
the all time, Like, oh, I'm super super high off
this movie. I'm gonna be more or less looking forward
to what's coming from this and seeing this team up
with Winn of the Pooh characters, Peter Pan, with all
these other horror icons. So yeah, detailed the Poony verse
as well. I couldn't agree more. It really really is
absolute insanity. So the fallout of this that's what I'm
more excited for. But I don't blame me for skipping it.
Speaker 1: I just gimmed it quickly to kind of get an idea. Yeah,
CGI is pretty rough, but I think the only time
I would watch these projects is if it's like I'm
in a friend group setting, Like I'm never gonna put
these on alone or anything like that. So yeah, I
missed out watch along and that was I think that
was my entry point. So I'm just kind of out
of it now.
Speaker 2: This is this is one of those movies where if
it's like a Saturday and you wake up and you
put on a you want to put on a movie
at like eight am, and you put this on, your
whole day is fucking ruined. You're to have a ship day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, that's what I want to do, a day's
off or a few in far between these days, Taylor,
I'm not gonna try and ruin my fucking Saturday. But
already putting on Van Helsing or something. You know. So
some good projects.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, that's right. Uh. NEXTX we have Dex trailer. Yeah,
gun Slingers. So what did you think about this one?
Because this one caught me off off guard?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think I got excited about this
one when I just saw Nick Cage on the thumbnail.
It's like, fuck, another Nick Cage project, let's go. I
was pretty I was pretty disappointed by the trailer overall. Honestly,
Shade made the observation which I completely agree with. It
seems like a very small set that they're on, Like
it seems like they read like not reshot but like
kept reshowing, like the same area of the town, and
it just made it feel very like small and like
they're on just like the one set that they have available. Obviously,
there's like carriage chases, but a lot of the time
when they're in like air quote town, it just seems
like it's like the one shot in front of the saloon,
and that's kind of it. Everything about this was pretty
bland or lackluster for me. Other than Nick Cage. I
think I'm not gonna be racing out in the theaters
to watch this by any means unless I hear like
great word of mouth about Cage's performance. But even then,
I don't think I would go and see this in
the in the theaters. For me personally, he just seems
like he's playing a wacky character, which he usually is
in most projects. But I just wasn't expecting the accent
at all, So I think I'm somewhat intrigued by that.
But everything else about this just felt pretty, uh yeah,
lackluster for lack of a better term.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I I love a good Western movie, coming off
of several Western projects, but this I was not expecting this.
I just saw, Okay when I typed it in Nick Cage, Okay,
this is great. Yeah, let's see what this is. And
the trailer I'm just gonna I'll just present it here
because I just I got to share. I gotta share it.
I gotta share it. Okay, Okay, so you just get
I don't know if you can hear it. Can you
hear anything? Could you hear anything? That's okay, it's okay. Uh.
You get these shots of Nick Cage and he's just like,
he's not saying anything and other people are talking, and
the movie looks very much like a two thousand and
five movie made in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, very much like the filter that they have
on the screen. It was taking me out of it.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and there's another show Nick Cage holding the camera.
He's not saying anything yet, and you know the story.
I'm intrigued by it. And he's just Nick Cage is
doing some weird things and like he's he's changed as
an actor because he you know, back when he started off,
he was he was fantastic doing some crazy drama roles
and everything like that. Then he went sideways and started
doing all this crazy shit Willie's Wonderland and all that stuff.
Then he you know, unbearable weight, massive talent, was fantastic,
and he's just he's coming back and doing some really
fantastic roles and this just feels like he's doing one
of his zany weird ones again, and I really like
it because the first thing he says in this trailer
hence my nickname, it's so loud and he's just got
this weird fucking accent. I can't pinpoint.
Speaker 1: He's got like the crosses as his glasses too. Like
there's just so many extra details that they give to
him to make him stand out that much more.
Speaker 2: Than there really really is. And like I know the
bad guy is here to get a certain character in
this town for his bounty to collect. I have no
fucking idea what Nick Cage's role is in this movie.
He's supposed to be here for or who who they're
trying to collect, because like he's he's just he's loading
up his belt and stuff. He's like, obviously a badass gunslinger.
This I want to dress up as it because he
looks fucking outrageous.
Speaker 1: Should get those glasses for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, and he's got his camera and then it's
this too well, and then here he is. I don't
know what I'm supposed to take from the scene, Like there's.
Speaker 1: Four gentlemen pointing the gun right at him right now,
any some guy gets.
Speaker 2: Out of this. There's no way you get out of this.
Speaker 1: Oh he does, though, I guarantee who he does pizza
about you that he does not die right here?
Speaker 2: Oh what is he saying?
Speaker 1: He was the standout definitely in the trailer, like he's
the only enticing thing about this. It just seems like
a movie I've seen before. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm excited. If this does drop in theaters,
I will you know, you'll probably get a tailor review
for sure. I do want to give it a give
it a watch.
Speaker 1: I'll be there on the receiving end, not contributing with you.
Speaker 2: You want to go see it? If I go to
see on the West Side, would you go see it?
Speaker 1: Bring your dad, you know, let's talk closer to I'm
not gonna say hard no, because I've seen some wild
movies with my dad. Maybe be interested. I mean, my
dad's always down. He'll he'll he's probably watching this right
now actually, and he's in his mind. He's like, yeah,
I'll be there. You know, Statham, that's priority. If Statham's
in the project working Man, We're gonna be there for sure.
But the Keeper too, bee Keeper too? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Uh cool? I yes, we have the Bondsman. Next, What
do you think about this one? This was?
Speaker 1: This was This was a nice trailer for me. I
can't remember which one I watched before this might have
been Gunslingers, honestly, where I'm like, this is just so bland.
Right at the start of this, I was just smiling
ear to ear. I love this concept, mister mister Bacon
himself in here, like I I I like the setup
of it. Honestly, this reminded me a lot of Day
Shift that trailer, which is funny because it's a very
different type of movie, but just the vibe of it overall,
I just I really like. I think it's an interesting
concept they're setting up here. I think, yeah, Ken Bacon's
going to be just like a great lead in this role.
And just I don't know, the two other side characters
were making it enjoyable, but just for the chaos of
this character that just keeps dying and hunting demons, it's
a fun concept. And I really really like this trailer.
I thought it was really enticing and one that I
am excited to see. I don't think I'm itching to
get out to the theaters to see it, but I
am really excited to see this project, and yeah, it
very much scratched that day Shift vibe for me, which
I really loved the trailer of Day Shift and I
really like the movie. Actually, I had a really fun
time with it. So I'm hoping I have the same
thing here.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think this is a theatrical release. I
believe it's a Prime Is it Paramount or oh no,
it's a limited series? Sorry for Amazon Prime. It's not
a movie. Sorry.
Speaker 1: Oh really, Okay, I totally missed that detail. That's interesting.
Speaker 2: Premiere is April third?
Speaker 1: Is it on Paramount?
Speaker 2: And no, it's Amazon Prime?
Speaker 1: Okay, Amazon, I'm interesting. Nice. Well, then I'll be there
for that. How many episodes I believe or I see?
Speaker 2: Did I see eight episodes?
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's more. I was gonna say less than six.
That's interesting. Okay, let me see you. I am intrigued
absolutely curiously through like hour long episodes because that's a
pretty long project. Eighth nice, cool, what about you?
Speaker 2: They'll all be available April third. So I'm very excited
for this and caught me off guard. And I don't know,
maybe maybe a review could come out of it if
we were to like binge through all the episodes and
then like sneak a review into there.
Speaker 1: Talk to the other geeks.
Speaker 2: Geeks, Yeah, because this this looks like it's a lot
of fun. You're right, Day Shift is a good comparison.
It gave me, like ri I p D with Ryan Reynolds.
So yeah, there's like a very dark humor involved with this,
but it looked freaky when he comes back and he's
driving and the pastor looks over at him and it's
got like fiery eyes and his shades.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's some.
Speaker 2: Really cool shots and I think it's gonna be a
lot of fun to watch and see what happens. So
I'm definitely there, and I'm I'm even more excited knowing
that it's a show. I completely didn't clue in with
that until now. So yeah, yeah, but An nails you
have dad on that?
Speaker 1: Nope, Nope, nope.
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of shows, we got mob Land that is
coming out now. This is on Paramount Plus and this
is the one that has Ye, Tom Hardy and Pierce
Brosnan and Helen Mirren. So it's it's got a pretty
awesome cast and basically just two generations of gangsters. And
I had not seen the trailer until now we're watching
before the news episode for the newscast. But I thought, yeah,
this looks like it's a lot of fun. It's really
cool to see what's going on here, and I think
this is I'll look up how many episodes it is.
What you give me your thoughts?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like I like the vibe overall of it.
Speaker 2: I like the cast.
Speaker 1: There's something about these like mob shows or projects that
I can't really like stay on. I feel like I
get really excited for them. Initially, I watched a couple
episodes and I just really like veer Off the Gentleman.
I started that one and just couldn't keep going with it. Yeah, No,
it's just just something about it. But I did like
this trailer. I I don't think I'm really gonna jump
on it, honestly. I just think there's too many saucy
things out there that I haven't watched a lot of
things on my hit list. We were just talking about Ahsoka.
I really want to watch that. I really want to
watch Yellow Jackets. I keep I keep hearing that show
is really good, and yeah, Showgun like I still watch
Showgun like that. There's some really big white lotus man,
there's so many projects that I'm just so not caught
up on. Travis is yelling at me right now about Invincible,
So there's many many things I do have to watch,
But hearing that this one is a show, I'm a
lot more intrigued by the previous one that we just
talked about. Bondsman over Mobland. I really like seeing Tom
Hardy in roles that aren't Venom. You know, I won't
forget you, buddy, I just feel like he's more at
home in a setting like this. H he was phenomenal
and peaky blinders, So it's gonna be interesting to see
him paired up with the mirror, the mearster and easy
there detail that's not he spelt my name there, big
buddy Costco over here. But yeah, I have a list
and I'm checking it too many times. Yeah cool, Oh Pierce,
I forgot to mention Pierce. I love seeing just piercing
these roles as of late. He just he's hitting like
a second stride in his the twilight of his career.
That's my word.
Speaker 2: That's comeback since he was in Missus doubt Fire.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, no, Black Adam. That was a big appearance
for him.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's right. I forgot he was in that.
I feel like that's one of those movies that's gonna
get swept under the rug.
Speaker 1: Uh black Atom, Black Atom. Yeah, it's already under the rug,
under the rug, that's right.
Speaker 2: Uh cool. Last trailer in topic for the Nights be
Powerpuffs leaked trailer.
Speaker 1: What a piece of shit? Discuss I will discuss. Yeah,
it's it's funny. Right before the cast, I admitted I
couldn't really find the trailer and then you gave me
the the leak. You you you, you gave me the
leak on this one. And I when I was reading
the show notes just out loud, I was like with
Shay and she got really excited because she's a big
Powerpuff Girls fan from like back in the day as
many were. I love that show too as a kid.
I thought it was phenomenal. I just like picked the
setup and then I kind of forgot that this was
a canceled project, so like right away it's like, oh, Powerpuffs,
what that's And then I like searching YouTube and every
single like thumbnail is like, god awful, made me vomit,
the worst I've ever seen. Canceled piece of shit and
it's just like the funniest string of like basically Red
Eye Kathleen Thumbnails, but for powerpuff Girls. But sounds like
these ones are pretty credited because I I skimmed the trailer.
I didn't really have a lot of audio with it.
But it's probably better, you know, just didn't see the
Day of Light, the Light of Day, Day of Light,
Light of a Day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's it's something that I don't know exactly
why they canceled it, whatever reason there is behind that,
but I'm glad that they did. This is not something
we needed. I would have absolutely taken an animated series
again of powerpuff Girls, because yeah, that old old school
show was great. There's there's some fantastic stuff in there.
It's so nostalgic, but we don't need it as live action.
Some stuff just does not need to be adapted, you know,
in comparison How to Train Your Dragon. I haven't seen
the movie yet, but judge by those trailers, amazing adaptation,
it's gonna be great. Powerpuff Girls. No, don't need to
do it, So they scrapped it. Said no, that's right,
so just leave it in the dust. Leave it that is,
and let those actresses you know, don't put that mark
on their career. Just let them. They can go off.
They can do bigger and brighter, better things now without
this on their resume. And it's not their fault. I'm sure.
It's just just the way that this, this some rich
guy in a suit was like, Yeah, I used to
love Powerpuff Girls when my kids are little. I'm gonna
put ten trillion dollars into a shitty TV show adaptation
and make another twenty twitter trillion dollars and here we go.
And then they're gonna be calling the shots and the
scripts and stuff just terrible, like, oh, slap a filter
on there. Just some guy in a suit calling all
the shots. I'm sure the corporate Oh yeah, that's right.
So I'm at the end of the day, I'm glad
it's not happening. We don't need it. They focus that
time and money on other things. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. And then we had a Patreon question, you know,
from the great powerful Maddie Seggs. After rank these trailers
in order of whatever you want. I will not go
first because I actually dropped the list. I just had
my in my head. Actually I'll go, I'll go. I'm
wanna say Powerpup Girls at the bottom, and then I'll
say Pooty Verse pretty much tied at the bottom, but
I guess it'll go above that. Well, oh, I guess
that's Bamby. It's just Pooty Verse. Gun Slingers next, and
then Mobland or no, sorry, I'm gonna put Alien Earth
actually below gun Slingers just because I yeah, it was
just kind of hard for me to watch, and then
gun Slingers then I'll do I guess just Bondsman is
the last one I didn't say. Oh no, sorry, Moblin, Moblin, Mobland,
and then Bondsman. Apologies if that was hard to listen to,
but that's my Mobland, Moblin, Bondsman and these uh.
Speaker 2: Power Pass is at the bottom, but not even on
the list. It just doesn't deserve to be on the yes,
