Speaker 1: So we got just three here, just a trifecta. We
got smashing Machine, Fear Street, Prong, Queen, and then weapons,
but the full trailer weapons. So I know, Dylan, you
probably saw weapons, like, well, come on, like I just
talked about this last week, which Trav's doing to me,
but this was the full trailer, which has been it's
interesting what they're doing. I'm not I guess we'll start
with the weapons. It's like they did sit them a
con and that's where they got a lot of hype.
And then it's like the first week was just those
viral videos right of like cam footage, and then the
second week was okay, teaser trailer, and now this third
week is like full trailer. I'm not saying every week
we're gonna get like longer, longer the trailers, but like
they are.
Speaker 2: Trickling longer, longer trains until the movie just releases, like.
Speaker 1: They just dropped the movie online. They don't even you know,
but like they before we continue, so says the disrespect
to the Goat franchise. Now you see me before we
go back to weapons. I so at one point when
this was Dylan and Kirkland host that I said, hey,
you know, have you guys seen this? Should I put
in the notes? They both said no, they haven't. And
then so in Kirkland, you know Sete's and mind Grain
but who knows what he's doing. And then dyl mesas me,
He's like, oh, you want to put it? Now you
see me? And I'm like, I've also not seen now
you see me. So s Bob's next week Weekly Geek
is me and Taylor Field. We will talk about you.
He's a big fan of that frothing the I said
to Dylan, I like a lot of that cast. I've
just never had any interest in watching those, like from
the trailers, everything I've seen, I have never been like,
oh I want to with the time I have, I
want to watch it. I'm not saying I never will,
but I've never It's never called to me. Why have
you not watched one yet? Dylm?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I feel like I should because I
was a huge Chris Angel freak back in the day
and so I feel like magic. Magic's flowing through me,
Magic's flowing through my veins, so I should be it.
And once again, the cast, you know, really great. I
don't know why I have never seen it, like It's
one of those things. You know, if someone joined the
patron at the correct tier and requested us to watch
now you see me, I would be thrilled with that.
That would be fantastic. That'd be a great pick. Uh. Yeah,
I don't know. I'd like to see these movies eventually,
and I will at some point. There's there's two. This
is the third one, is that correct? There's two of them? Now,
third one? Okay, yeah, they've been doing a fourth one. Well,
hell yeah, that's that's beautiful stuff. So I will. Well,
now I says it's kind of like fast and furious,
and I'm less interested, to be honest, but well, that's.
Speaker 1: What I heard, too, is that I heard the first
like everyone praised the first one. My problem was why
I jumped off a little bit, was like of the
idea of watching and people described the second one as
the first Okay, I don't know how to phrase first one.
Obviously they're doing heists and they're using magic, but it
sound like the first one was more realistic, where the
second one sound like how they do this is like, oh,
it's almost basically real magic, and it's like and it's
not like really, I've watched.
Speaker 2: A video a YouTube video essay on that subject, even
though I haven't seen the movie, so I feel like
I've spoiled myself a little bit on Okay, what's going
on here? And i'd video by Lego Vader go check it.
Speaker 1: Out, Okay, And I just didn't like that pitch of Oh,
it kind of gets way more unbelievable. And I'm something
that is a fast and furious fan, but that's even
got to the point of me where I don't enjoy
those really much at all anymore, because they got they
went too far to the promer. There's a perfect line,
so you can't jump that. Yeah, But anyways, Warner Brothers
not again. We talked about warning buds with these movies Weapons,
Warner Brothers movie. Not want to jump that shart with Weapons.
The rumor because this movie I think was originally for
the Fall or something or even early next year. I
think it was maybe even rumored to be January two,
twenty sixth. But the rumor is this thing is like
tested very well, and to me, I can tell that
because the marketing they're giving it WB like they believe
I think in this movie they look at this as
like a hit and to me. I think subs did
say in our discord this trait all this stuff, because
I've actually not talked about weapons other than I think
the CinemaCon of like the plot of the kids go
missing at the same time.
Speaker 2: Same the weapon you've talked about is the spear that
killed Jesus Christ exactly.
Speaker 1: And I don't think this is in there, but who knows.
Let's apparently full screen pay or the early versions out there.
I've seen some people posting I think I've heard about
that too. I'm going to stay away from that because
I don't like to read this screenplay before maybe after,
but so I knew the plots and opsis. But for me,
I've loved everything they've done with this trailer. Uh what
I was saying as pub said the discord a couple
of days ago, because I wasn't gonna watch the trailer,
but now I'm on this cast, so I did it.
Does it definitely? Like is there is a connection to
the same marketing that Long Legs had, Like I'm trying
to find the best way, but that idea of like
to me, it's a great pitch and the imagery, the sounds,
especially in the last three seconds of trailer they're throwing
you a bunch of wild stuff. We're like, what is
going on? And I'll find some quotes out for you
talking about like what the director said where he's like,
oh the plaw the movie, that's not even the most
wild stuff that happens with this. I'm like, okay, and
I think Craiger is I think this is gonna hit
and he's gonna really establish himself as like a name,
not Coogler level, because there don't levels, because he doesn't
have a billion dollar hit. But I mean, like in
the horror community, he's doing resident evil necks and that
gets me excited. But I've loved every the viral marketing.
To me, A Taylor mentioned when you get stuff with
the teaser, it's not the running, it's the hell they're
running with their fucking arms out bent that way. It's
just something to me, what I it's taking something that
should just if you saw kid run like that at
the beach but always playing, but you put it in
a black and white cam video like dash cam, it's
fucking that's weird. Like if you were to say, hey,
your nephew and missing this last thing of footage we
had and he's running like this, he'd be like, what
the fuck is going on? And this trail I thought
was outstanding. I'm someone that I really liked Long Legs.
Obviously the third act was took him for a while ride,
and I've liked it as war going on, so maybe
this is gonna be that with him saying it does
get more wild, but even already, I feel like this
is a supernatural movie where Long Legs, I feel like
that was up for debate until you go on the movie.
This feels like, Okay, a bunch of kids go missing.
I don't think it's just some guy going around kidnapping
them from their homes. It feels like something's up, but
it and this trailer I was getting, not the rock
chills like the goosebumps. This is my most antisipay movie
now that's left on the year, so I cannot wait
for weapons. This trailer I thought was fantastic, and like
I said, I think it's gonna be a big hit too.
It reminds me of Long Legs, where Long Legs had
very good marketing and just had buzz. And people are
gonna see this and I think this is a It's
an easy gimmick to pitch like mainstream people of like
a movie. Oh, all these kids go missing, same night,
same class, what happened? It's like a good like what
is that mystery? You know, like Long Legs had that too,
of like all these people being killed, same date every month. Yah,
this guy's in the demonic stuff? How do we get them?
And it's stay cage? Right?
Speaker 2: So yeah, remind me the release date on this Bad
Boy here.
Speaker 1: I think it's like August fifth, It's early August, right, yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I so I've I think I missed those
uh like cam footage, found footage, marketing beats and so.
But I saw hype in the discord and I was like, huh,
where's this hype coming from? The me and Taylor talked
about the the teaser I think it was last week
or the week before, and I was like, Okay, I'm out.
I don't get it yet. Where's where's the hype level
for this other than like the director of course? And
it's finally with this trailer where like I get it
because this is obviously a little more all encompassing of
what this movie actually is. And yeah, it looks it
looks outstanding, looks fantastic. I think the as you mentioned,
like just the visuals of like the cinematography is what
really stands out to me here, Just so many interesting
camera angles. That one shot of like just all the
kids like flying out the windows, running through the windows
to chase her down, like just looks fantastic, And I
feel like the main actress, Julia Gardner Julie.
Speaker 1: No Gardener, Yeah, she's phenomenal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think I've seen her a couple of things,
but I feel like this just the premise of this movie,
and like her class being the one that had all
these kids disappear, and then then she's going into the
classroom and they're all there and like zombie like all
these things and which she could be dream saying, what's
could be real? Who knows? This is the kind of
movie where I'm just like, Wow, she is already, like
I can guarantee you she's gonna be like in that
top five nominee like Golden at the end of the year.
It's it's one of those movies that just like this
is an opportunity to just like eat as an actor,
and I'm like excited to see her able to fulfill
thatackcause I've hear the hype for her, but don't necessarily
have it yet myself. And I feel like this is
gonna be the one that puts her on the map
for me. So really really excited for this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like this last year I saw wolf Man. I
liked that enough and she was I really liked her
in that. But I've been a fan of her since
she was like fourteen thirteen. She was on a spy
so that I love, called the Americans and she was
like a mission. Was like she's the daughter of some politician.
They have to just kind of turn her into like
a Russian spy, and oh my gosh. She's so good
that I've never watched. It's on the list that showed
you some Bateman and Laura Lenny. It's a drug show.
It's on Netflix.
Speaker 2: Ozark. Is that the one Ozark?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the one that's always been my list because
she's like a main actress in that too. Yeah you
good pull there, So, yeah, thank you for showing her
out because I kind of forgot and because I heard
she was in it and she was the teacher, but
I wasn't like, oh, is that just she's the teacher
and our main character is gonna be like the Grizzled
Detective or even Josh Brolin. Right, I was like, Oh,
he's the dad looking for his son. Is he the
main character? He looks perfectly, is like the where's my kids?
And who is this? And everything? So and that some
of the quotes here. Zach Cregor said that the full
cast is being kept on wraps. That's very exciting. I
don't know what that means. I'm not I'm expecting one.
Speaker 2: That's a little Justin Long effect. I feel like in
the Barbarian.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not expecting like Tom Cruise to pop up
in the thing or anything like that.
Speaker 2: But Justin Long shows up again, I'd be thrilled.
Speaker 1: I hope. So Justin Long was gray and Barbarian. But yeah,
so the Mystery Kids is not the whole movie. There's
way crazier shit than that. And he described it as
a whore epic, which I tell him be careful because
I feel like you don't want to build up too much.
But like, yeah, just there's two things I wanted to
screen share here for you, but then also I'll describe them.
But because you didn't see where was that? I got
too many tabs open here. I'm like you, Yeah, you
really are. What the Why can't I find it anywhere?
Speaker 2: I had like eight Box Office Mojo tabs open and
it was just a mess.
Speaker 1: Why can't I find it anywhere? This is very frustrating.
Speaker 2: Just like the kids, they've fled the classroom here they did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're running around with their where is it? All right?
Maybe I won't be able to uh I just like
it's like, I don't understand. Maybe I'll do this over here.
It's just like stream I just I completely it's it's
in the same tab. I shared that thing earlier, and
now it's not working here. I think I might know. Okay,
I will bring it up maybe in a second here.
So sorry, I thought there was something else I could
Uh god, damn it. Come on, just work over here.
It's just I'm so funny. It should just be an
easy click here. Come on, No, it's just clicks.
Speaker 2: Let's do it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Am I gonna have to do the
entire screen? No, I'm not gonna do that, So all right.
I maybe we'll come back to you in a second
because I'll try and figure out this mystery. But we'll
stay in the whole realm. H fear streaked right. Yeah,
it's Fear Street Queen coming out just under a month here,
May twenty third, obviously was a big play for them
a couple of years ago with that trilogy. They released here,
New Cast, New story. Still Yeah, happening in shady whatever,
Shady High or whatnot. But yeah, maybe you're yeah sheheland
all see it sound like you're not happy about maybe
the change of uh, the old cast, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I I was pretty underwhelmed by this trailer.
I think it's gonna be like a skip for me
or just waiting to see what people see or see
what people say in the discord, because I like that
trilogy and I think it was unique and interesting, but
also it was you know, pretty by the numbers for
like what that genre is, and so I guess I
shouldn't be too surprised that this is kind of just like, oh,
it's a it's a horror slasher prom getting like you know,
something you've seen a lot of times. So we'll see
what the deviations are or how it mixes it up.
But more so i'd be like I would just wait
for people to see it and then let me know
if it's worth seeing, because it looked a little little
generic for my liking unfortunately, so I don't I'm I'm
like even the cast thing, Like, I didn't know any
of those people really like in the movie before seeing it,
and then I became a fan of them from it,
So it could be the same thing here. I don't
know a lot of these actors in this, but you know,
maybe it'll be like they'll show up some good performances
and then it'll be excited about them. But yeah, I
don't know. I just just didn't really have the sauce
for me. Was lacking that juice that we look for
in these trailers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have to look it up because there were
people I recognized. I thought it was a good cast.
I swear, yeah, are on a green blots and that
she's a girl that played like.
Speaker 2: She's the Jack Quaid.
Speaker 1: Yes, of actresses, she's like young Ahsoka, young.
Speaker 2: Kimora god Order, Lens, Yeah, Barwie, something like that.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, like Lily Taylor's in here, Katherine Watson, who
I'm a big fan of, Chris Glenn from the American
Pie series. So there's a lot of people, but yeah,
I was wanting to be more excited for this because
I like the Fear Shriek trilogy a lot, especially that
first one. To me, that's my favorite. That one's like
a I gave that like a ten to ten because
that means to me, it was like a perfect combination
of what I've said before is like, oh see, are
all sun right? Season I will when I'm like Goosebumps
to Redone, but be more adult kind of just the
way we've talked about with Oh God, like with x
M ninety seven, where sure kids can watch it, but
it definitely felt like, hey, we're gonna make this for
the people that aged up with the show. I've always
wanted someone to do that with Goosebumps, so we don't
get that we just got very mediocre stuff on Disney
Plus or with Jack Black. You know, I'm just I'm
just over it. That's what I want. I want to
do what's happening with Predator, what's happening with Predator an Alien?
I want to do that for Ghosts, but or Goosebumps.
I want to get in there and just like, Okay,
let's start the shit over and get down to nitty gritty.
But that's what I loved about that first really, especially
the first movie. I agree with you, this looked more generic,
but I'm gonna hope that because I liked those ones
a lot. It's a similar genre, just done a bit
better than maybe some of the schlock we usually get.
Just like, oh, here's a regular horror movie. It's like, okay,
that's fine. Like I said, I like some of the
cast here, apparently because I never read the Fear Street stuff.
I was a goosebumps kid. The first I think trilogy
was kind of like an amalgamation of like taking ideas
from those books, where this is like an actual like
sounds like it's gonna be adaptation of one of those books.
So that's why it makes sense that a lot of
those characters aren't back. But then at the same time,
I'm kind of like, well, I liked that cast a lot, right,
So I wish there was a way to try to
work them in here, even if they weren't the main characters,
like supporting them. The victim was the new main character,
so especially too, because I'm I, Yeah, the trilogy ended
on like a cliffhanger, so it's like, okay, we're sitting
up for more ventures, So I wish there was a
way I know there's probably some people like Sadie's sink,
you're not gonna get her back, and she's fucking like
and she's getting nominated for Oscars and she's in Spiderman suit,
so it's like, okay some people, but the rest of
the people, it's like, oh, I like this cast. I'm
sure you could find a way. So yeah, I'm I'm
excited because I like that franchise, but this trilogy didn't
get me like, oh man, I can't wait. But it's
still a day when watch me. I really like those
last ones, and hopefully this is good and it can
kind of keep it up because I think it's a
good series, and I do think, like I'm wondering how
successful this will be, because I thought the gim of
the last trilogy was great of hey, every week you're
getting a new movie, you're getting three, and it felt
like a very fun, just kind of marathon, like, oh,
this week I get to see like what's happening with
the Fear Street peel right where this is just like
a one off. So to me, it's just a one off.
It has to be a good a really good horror movie.
So I'm hoping that's it, but I aggress And I
also don't know why they're releasing this thing in May.
I don't know why this thing's not in October. Like again,
the last trilogy was in summer. But I kind of
got that at gimmick of like one a week, I
thought that was people's selling point of Oh, this is
lots of fun where in May and it feels like
just a weird like, why is Netflix not throwing this October?
Maybe because Stranger Things is coming out? Maybe that's it.
Speaker 2: They come on the summer though the trilogy it did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it did, But I just thought because that gimmick
of the three camp that helped, Yeah, that helped.
Speaker 2: So has problem happened in May? Is that was that? Why?
Speaker 1: Jesus you too tonight? Fuck you said that and Emily
said the exact same time. Does probably happened at May?
And then you've mentioned Flea Bag while she's watching Flea
Bag in the other room. You guys are some paticos
this day today, but that's why. So there you go.
But at the same time, does that matter when it's
a horror movie? Like I'm just saying, in a multiverse
where it's prom Night, prom Queen comes out in October
and comes out in May. I still think in October
it's probably be better numbers since people are in a
horror mood. Where right now, I mean.
Speaker 2: You just go watch it, you just wait watch it then?
Speaker 1: Right? Yeah you could? Or do you forget about it though? Right?
Do you? Just? Other stuff comes out.
Speaker 2: When it's like oh yeah, they shovel everything out and
they bring in the new batch of weekly hits.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, likesse like obviously I'm not gonna talk about
because and Tariy were talking about a couple weeks ago,
like Electric State, that Russ's Brothers movie. But like when
that movie came out, most expensive movie in Netflix history,
I did go in my search bar and find it.
That thing should be classical for everybody. It should be like, hey,
the first thing you log in, watch Electric State, and
if you don't want to, then scroll down. But I
had to go search for Electric State to watch it.
That's that's the thing on Netflix, like even release window.
Oh yeah, well you don't know one.
Speaker 2: Electric say, the most sought after movie on Netflix. Yeah,
people were searching it intros.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they'll ask me, do you want to watch
you It's like no, I just watched this, but I digress. Okay,
So I found a way two things I just wanted
to bring up here of back to weapons, the one
we're way more excited for. So this was one that uh,
this is that footage. They had multiple stuff like look
how good that stuff is? Just a cam like that's
fucked up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, one of those like doorbell cam kind of quality things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they did a bunch of those. But the
other thing I was gonna bring up was people just
some of the imagery that was happening in this trailer
and you touched upon it, but like here you I'll
do a full screen here. This is where it reminds
me of Long Legs, where there's just multi text the
red text for sure, but there's just multiple stuff in
here where it's like, what's this tar? Why is this lady?
Speaker 2: Like the tar stood out to me for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and even Rember remember in Long Legs there was
that way. It just ended up being a small moment
of the film. But that one part of the lady
like recutting her c section scar, and that reminds me
of this lady stabbing herself with the fork with the
in the face, was like, why is she doing this
and same thing. That's that's why I think Long Legs
and haven't common that they have a good setup, and
then multiple images of like how is this happening? Why
is this happening? You know, like even look at fucking
ben Benwong down there not looking good in that left no,
and who's that in the right frame there? That's definitely
to me that is a fucking actor that we don't
know who it is yet in my opinion. That's my
told you, like look at the wig, the big glasses makeup.
That feels like we need to hide this person, like
it feels like ni could be fucking actually could. It
looks a little but you know what I mean, like
with off so you can still tell Long Legs is
Nicholas Cage. But they tried their best to be like,
let's make them over. And that's what I think. That
person in the bottom right corner for people that aren't listening,
it looks like it's someone with an orange like a
very like Pippy Longstocking wig. They have like old school
old lady glasses from the eighties. Yeah, exactly, so something's
happening here and got some Dutch angles, So yeah, I
can't wait. It's gonna be a fun time, So wait
for and then finally I can't we wait? Can we
not wait? The Final Boss? Dwayne Johnson, The Rock dip
In You talk about Safty, you know, dip in his
fingers and his toes and his biceps in A twenty
four and Safty Obviously there's been lots of hubbub about
this one because the Rock in general, that's always hubbub.
But the Rock is a like Honestly, he's never done
anything like this before. His career has kind of become
a meme wise movie wise, right, and uh, Benny Saftie.
He is a great director, great writer, great actor as
well too. But like for me, Uncut Gems is one
of the best film that came out in this decade. Right,
that wasn't last time it was? Yeah, that to me
is a top tenor for this decade. He got to
me him and his brother got the best performance out
of Adam Sandler. So there's lots of good ingredients here.
But is uh is it? Is it something? Is it
something you want to taste and actually put in your mouth?
Speaker 2: This is not gonna go in my mouth. I mean
maybe it will eventually but I was, I was really
disappointing this trailer, and I think I think my hype
for it was like what you told, like the spark
notes you gave me essentially, which is like Benny SAFTI, Yeah,
the Rock and an eight, well not necessarily the rock,
but the rock being an e in an a twenty
fourth thing directed by Benny directed written by Benny Saffie,
Like that seems like a match made in heaven for
something weird and interesting, And the trailer was anything but that.
It was like, oh, here we go with a really
by the numbers, like you know, sports drama. You know,
I've seen I saw iron Claw like and I liked
iron Claw And while I watch iron Claw again directed
by Benny SAFTI sure, but like I guess I just
want something a little more flavorful from him as a director.
And you know, I think A twenty four is one
of those dude, is that that meant something when it was,
you know, a twenty four movie. And I feel like
that has drifted away a little bit because I feel
like they rather than having like a specific style or
type of movie or type of thing that they do,
now it's kind of just like they have a lot
of money, and it seems like they can just fund
all sorts of things, and so you're getting movies that
are less in that a twenty four realm, which is
totally fine. I think it's good for them to broaden
their whatever that word is not the agenda, their their portfolio,
broaden their portfolio.
Speaker 1: Reports that last year, right remember they were bidding to
try and get Halloween and that was like, oh, they're
they're trying to go even something like Civil War a
bit bigger, Like yeah, they're they're making moves right now.
They're stranding.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're they're I mean destranding, Like to me, fits
that a twenty four vibe, even if it is a
video game. Things has been different. But this, to me,
I don't know, it doesn't have that a twenty four
sauce to it. And it's really lacking any sauce at all.
And like, okay, like the Rock doing a dramatic role,
like that's interesting. I'm not really a fan of the Rock,
so I'm not like, oh, I really need to see
him like actually acting, uh you know, for once in
a while. But uh, I don't know, I just I
don't think there's much else to say. For me, unfortunately,
it just it's fine. I'm surely good and I'm just
not excited for it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's gonna I think bar minimum, it's
gonna be good. I think I think Rock is looking
really good, and I think he does have something to
like prove a little bit because everyone in the world
just says, hey, Batista's the best wrestler actor, and it's
just kind of been decided. I think it's like, you know,
I I want to do that, you know, And I
I think there are other reason why it looks a
little safer, which sounds weird. I think sad. I think
Rock and Safty are both trying to do like they're
going for Oscar plays here, and that's where it's like,
I think Uncut Gems for some reason. God, I actually
don't know why, because I was gonna say too weird.
But then the past few years we had Parasite, we
had everything everywhere at once. I don't know what it was,
because Uncut Gems was like praised by everybody like it
had all the and but even then you brought Claw
that was the same thing that was a twenty four.
Speaker 2: Movies on Netflix, though like it could it even be eligible.
Speaker 1: No, it did. It was had a theater run. Yeah,
they put it in the theater for two weeks in
certain markets and stuff. But yeah, I I think that's
what they're going for. I think this looks like a
movie that I'm going to really enjoy because I like
character pieces. I liked dian Carleol, I love the wrestler,
and that's what reminds me of not just because Dwayne
Rock Johnson, So I think I'm gonna really enjoy it.
I think Dwayne Johnson looked great. I do think there'll
be some paint by numbers, but I think what they're
looking for is safter you get a best directing or
i'll say best writing, and I think they're looking for
a rock to get best acting, which I think he could.
That's the thing where I think it depends the performance.
But if he blows people away and I even like
his voice, to me, it's like it's enough of the rock.
But it's still a changeup that I think is smart
and it kind of makes them sound like a little
I won't say losory, but in a way, he's definitely
just more doing a steroid type of effective voice, which
I think is as smart as I think. That's what
happens with this guy is he gets very addicted to
the steroids and whatnot. And I don't really know the
story because I'm not like a massive UFC guy, So no,
I'm I really liked the trailer. It didn't blow it
didn't blow me away, but I was happy to see that.
I think The Rock actually looks good in it, which
I didn't know one hundred percent. There's a difference of
being like wanting to be an A twenty four actor
and being an a twenty four actor, right, And I
honestly did not know if The Rock had this. Now.
I know it sounds stupid, but we talked about this
last year when he came back to wrestling. It legitimately
was the best acting of his career, this whole Final
Boss character, like he he found something there. And I
speak for the Gimmick boys that I want this movie
to do very well, and I want him to win
an Oscar so he'll not come back to wrestling, because
he's been doing some really bad, shady stuff lately, messing
up a lot of storylines, and I want him to
stay away for a couple of years, you know, just
do some acting stuff, so I this is a this
is a day one theater one For me, I will
have to see this because it's definitely my genre. Like
I said, I like character pieces. It hits similar wrestler
type of vibes. But even then, what I was gonna
say before we move on, is you brought Byron Claw.
That was the same thing as a Cut Gems universal praise.
Everyone talked about man Zach effrom best performs his career
that got zero love at the Academy Awards. They just
bypassed it, right. I think it's a little bit different
because it's the Rock and I think people will take
notice because it's him doing something like this for the
first time. But I don't know if it's on cut
Gems not a sports movie. They are sports in it,
but I don't know if it's a sports movie. Like
I don't know. There's certain movies to me, like I said,
on Cut Gems that should have been a surefire like
nomination everywhere and it really wasn't. And for me, like,
who knows what this will be? But I guess I
guess I see your point of view. It's not anything
two A twenty four crazy and it doesn't look anything
like Benny Saffy wise like the Curse, or like even
on cut Gems that was more wild. Like, I think
this will be pretty safe, but a very well made,
very well acted movie. Emily Blunt, she's always great, and
hopefully there's just a harden there that I can find
and like, you know, and I think the makeup on
the rock looks really good too. You can see it's him,
but I still think there's enough where no.
Speaker 2: A good point. I think he does fade into this character,
which is which is telling because he I feel like
he normally is like trying to be as himself as
possible because he's, in my opinion, a big egot individual, right,
and so I feel like he's trying to be himself
in a way and I feel like he's not doing
that here, which is cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I will answer because Dlani, you have no
context on this to end an episode because Hunt, I read.
Speaker 2: This comment and it could be another language for.
Speaker 1: All I know, he's or they say, what is your
thoughts on people believe my time to shay hello on
the fake leak about super shit from the Superman movie.
I could talk people if you want. This could be
a fake rumor. If you want no spoilers for super Man,
this is like very minor thing. If it was real,
skip ahead and I could talk to those Dylan, because
he's likely not seeing Superman or at least day one,
and even then, I don't think he's gonna care about this.
There is a rumor going on, which I understand why
it could be because obvious there's lots of screens. There's
a rumor going around that there's a subplot or a
scene or something where on social media there's a hashtag
whatever they use, whether I'm sure it's not gonna be Twitter,
but whatever they use Metropolis that there's a hashtag trending
during the movie called super Shit. And but what happens
is they reveal that it's Lex Luthor. He's walk with
me now he has a bunch of mutative monkeys that
are similar to plan the apes, and they cut to
apparently it's like, oh, people really hate Superman. This thing's trending.
But the reveal is that Lex Luthor just has a
bunch of mutated monkeys that are on a computer just
tweeting away, tweeting away, tweeting away, just like it's it's
a fabricated like a controversy, like the hate for Superman
online is not real, So it's like a bunch of
bots everything like that. I like, I could believe this
for two reasons. One, that's not something that does not
happen today with people just like having a bunch of
burners or hate campaigns. How many things like for the
Marvels do you see, Like, oh, look at all this
hate for this movie and it's like twenty tweets and
it's like the exact same wording quotation everything. It's like, Okay,
clearly there's just some people that have agenda here. And
I think it's a little bit of a thing on
what happened with James Gunn was some tweets found about
him and everyone jumped on his case and he lost
his job for a little bit, right, So I don't
think it's out of the realm of possibility. I know
a lot of people have said if this leak is real,
that like it's looked upon as like a negative thing,
like this sounds really cheesy and bad. I'm withholding judgment
if this is true to see into the movie, because
on premise, I get why he would do that doesn't
sound the grace like that doesn't sound like I don't know.
It's not anything where I'm like, oh, that's something I
want my Superman movie, but it's also not some of them.
I'm like, this is gonna make or break the movie.
But yes, this was like a mini controversy this week.
Let's see. I remember James Gunn's say, if it does
not come from me, it's not true. Yeah, but that
I can't like James Gun's a stewdio like that, Like
this is the same guy that also said like I
can't wait to work with Ben aff Like in two
weeks later Ben Athletes like, yeah, I'm not working for
James gun in DC, Like I don't want to do
any of that. I think James Gunn even then he
at one point said I can't remember the exact paraphrasing,
but said like yeah, absolutely or not, I've never considered
passing to be the Batman. And then Chump a year
and a half later he's like, well, yeah, I had,
like we considered some things. So at the end of
the day, James Gunn is a director, but you gotta
remember this, he's now a studio head. They don't get
to be as truthful. And I'm not saying James Gunn
is a liar. I'm just saying that there might be
some things that he has to like skirt around or
just kind of say out there to be hyped. So
I don't think James gun is gonna go online and
start talking about the specifics of or not of his
movie right now. I think rumors and casting are different
because he can said yeah, that's not true, I didn't
cast this guy's green arrow, or yeah that's not true.
But I don't know. And but again, it's just it's
just like leaks and stuff. Spos says, I feel like
it's real. But I also that could be like a
one joke scene, and that's what I think it is.
I think it's a one joke scene. So that's why
it's like, I need to see the context. If it's
some big fucking storyline where the whole time Superman's really
upset that social media's taking him down and the reveals
it's a bunch of monkeys, like like trolls, like yeah,
that's not good. But if it's just like a throwaway
one joke where it's like, oh, these people really hate me.
He puts down on the phone and smash cut to
a family, got a room, a bunch of monkeys, and
lets being like keep typing like eighty of them, me
saying that that sounds bad. That actually does not sound
like a great scene. But I'm back yeah to me,
but that's like a okay if I don't like it,
that's like a point five point two five markdown. That's
not like, oh man, that that took me down. Like
I don't know, it's just we'll see.
Speaker 2: But any thoughts on that till no, no thoughts.
Speaker 1: But there you go, a hunter. That's that's my thoughts.
I say, just just wait till you see the movie.
Because this is my last point is because uh Kim.
A couple of weeks ago, I was on the box room.
We were talking about Colin Traverro and his Superman or
his Star Wars nine script, and there's so many people
like go like, oh, it sounded so much better. It
doesn't matter till it's produced and directed and acted, and
anything on paper can sound great or bad. It's all
about the execution, right. So that's why for me, I
can't this scene sounds like an all right, maybe lame
joke or fine joke, but until I see the movie.
I can't say like, oh, super shit, Like that's not
going to get me not excited for the movie, you know,
like we have to wait and see. So I just
say stay I'm not gonna say stay off line, but
just don't worry about that stuff of line. Don't say
and stay off line.
Speaker 2: Except for the Geeks discord exactly.
Speaker 1: That's a good place to go. So that's down below.
We have done it. Don't be worried. Wouldn't have enough
to talk about, but here we are nearly two hours.
Speaker 2: The plasma was flowing.
Speaker 1: Tonight, the plasma was flowing. Hopefully it is again for Thunderbolts.
We'll be talking about that tomorrow. Thank you very much
to everybody in the chat that's sending questions that listen
that watch promis when you hear from us next, which
will be tomorrow night, it'll not be boring. Goodbye,
