Speaker 1: Hellllo, ladies and gentlemen, how's everyone doing. Welcome to the
December twenty ninth, episode twenty twenty five of Trust Told
you I'm Trust. Now we're in that limbo, right, We're
in the weird limbo which I was trying to think of.
No one steals from me. If it's out there, let
me know. Is there any movie or anything of note
that has like whether it's romance, comedy, horror, a movie
set in between a risk, like i'd say after Boxing
Day and New Year's right, I feel like there's something there.
I feel like there's something possible to play with there
because it is a weird time, right, I had lots
of things where luckily I had four days off. I
had Christmas, Boxing Day and then the weekend that's and
I got that coming up again this week. So very
happy about that. Only three days work and then four
days off, which is just feels refreshing. I wish I lived.
I'm jealous if anybody that gets three days off, that'd
be nice. Four days is like an actual break. Two days.
Of course it's a break, but I never feel like
it's a break break because I always say this before,
where it's like Okay, if you're lucky, if I'm lucky,
like if you're extremely lucky, one day both days you
get to rest, do nothing. But nowadays with life, everything job,
usually that's when we're filming, We're starting filming again, I'm
hanging out with the kids. We got stuff going on.
You Usually it's one day as chores, do things, and
the other days maybe relax a little bit. Then you're
getting ready for the week. Right, three days at least
you could do those, even two days of doing chores
getting things ready to have the day off. Four days
is an actual break. Everything else longer than that is great,
but four days feels like an actual break. So yeah,
it's it's been nice. It's been a good time, but
it feels weird. I was because of Christmas being like
the Wednesday, Thursday and then my breaks. I just had
no or what was it Thursday for? Well? I got yeah, Thursday,
Friday for Boxing day. I had no idea what was
going on. But let me share this right now? What
do I I don't even know. I don't know if
I got a gift to share here? You know what,
I'll I know what I gotta use here, But yes,
we are here. Tres told you, I said that I
wasn't sure if we were going to be doing another
news one, and I think we're gonna be doing at
least this one or two. So people, I did say that, oh,
it might just be the movie rankings. We'll wait and see,
because obviously later on this week, I got The Stranger Things,
which a big thank you to everybody that's checked out
that episode for this month, and we're gonna talk about
it today. We're talking about I'll get back to the
plugs a second. Today we're talking about the Avengers Tuesday
third trailer leak. Obviously in the title and the promotion,
I feel like it's not a big deal now to
share like what the leak is, right, if you're really
going back to Avatar multiple times and you're disappointing, I
leaked it for you. I guess I apologize for that.
But they're doing this whole weird thing where it sounds
like we don't sounds like we're not even getting a
doom trailer, and it sounds like you might not even
get like a full trailer till Super Bowl, which is
kind of crazy to think about, but you know, they're
trying something different and I think there's pros and con soup.
I think for the most part it's it's pros because
as we saw last week when they put out the
full Sea Rogers trailer just you know, HD on social
media YouTube whatever it killed did terrific numbers. Right. You
gotta remember, there's an audience of people like us that
are gonna search on and find these things, and there's
audience people that are just gonna wait, and we're gonna
talk about that in a second, but we're talking about that.
We're talking about the box office big weekend for Avatar two,
which you know, your boy fucking told you. You know,
now that's a big hot take. I just feel like,
again we talked about before the narrative that was happening
week one, it's like, hey, everyone slowed down, and then
a twenty four also biggest week of all time, like great,
great numbers and things to see, like this whole campaign
working for to show me great numbers to see overall,
and then we're talking about a little bit of stranger
things because the blowback there some reviews is a review
bombing our people upset. Is it actually gonna be hailed
as the Game of Thrones final season. I don't know, Well,
we'll talk about that, but for that episode, thank you
everyone that listened. In three days, I've become our biggest
episode of the month. Beat Avatar, beat it, which was
good because it was we talked about this on the
finale of it. We're like, I don't know if we're
gonna do season two because you know, like I liked it,
not as much as Taylor and some others, but I
liked I enjoyed it. But the numbers started really good,
like the first episode. I think it had a lot
to do with the time changes Halloween. But those episodes
like all right, but well, we always have a number
of geeks like what we want to hit to justify
doing an extra cast, which is a review, and also
we don't do this full time, and we're like, you
know what, it's season two, probably can shelf that not
gonna happen. But then seven and eight, the finale just
fucking jumped up. I guess people are just waiting for
penny Wise. But those did really well for us, So
we'll see where seven season two lays. But think everyone
that tuned into Stranger Things episode because it's it was,
you know, Christmas Boxing Day, you know, a little awkward timing,
but it did very well for both financially and downloads wise,
the biggest episode of a month. Don't know where it
will be in the grand scheme of all things. But
later on this week, I think I am seeing Stranger
Things in the theater, so I think I will be
trying to drop a review because the girls are being
watched by my aunt Tie and they we're all gonna
hang out for New Year's Ball drop all that stuff.
But I think they're gonna be hanging out so they'll
be able to sneak away and do do my Stranger
Things review there, So look out for it. If you're
doing nothing New Year's Eve, your boy will be live
talking about that. But thank you everyone listening to that
very much appreciate it. And then yeah, this week there's
a Dylan solo episode that I think he's going over
his actual full game of the year in depth stuff
we have you know here Tres told you on Wednesday,
I think will be happening eleven. I have to check
is my daytime work schedule. I work a little smaller
because New Years, But I think it will be happening.
But I think that's gonna be more news. I got
a bunch of Marvel rumors that have come on. I'm
gonna talk about them today because it would be a
bunch of stuff. So that's a tune in for Monday.
We're talking about Secret Wars stuff. We're talking or Wednesday, sorry,
secret Wars stuff. Moonnight rumors, Doctor Strange rumors. All happening Wednesday,
eleven PM or eleven a m PSC. So if people
were wondering when I said, oh, I'll probably do my
movie rankings, I'll wait till next week to do that.
I'm sneaking in a few. I saw K Pop, Dune Hunters, finally,
I saw Honey Don't last night, watching A Long Walk
currently today I pause for this and then I really
want to try and see Mari supremeaus think nos Forautuo.
I didn't want to do my list till then mariy' supreme.
It's I'm gonna see if I can see it, because
it's tough timing. I do really also want to see
The Lord of the Rings really re releases again. I
only did it two years ago, so if I miss them,
it's fine, but I man, I would love to see them,
but they're awkward time. So obviously four hour movies, so
I get why they are. But yeah, so we'll see.
But I want to try see Marie Supreme before I
make my list, but if not, next week I will
do my my top ten or not take to I'll
rank every movie i've seen over about eighty now, trying
to get to eighty five a six at least tie
from last year. And I'm seeing the ones that I
did want to see that I haven't crossed off yet,
Like like I said, Mario Supreme, Long Walk, Roofman, lots
of stuff there. So yeah, I hope everyone had a
very good Christmas and a good Boxing Day. Hope you
bought some stuff. I didn't really buy anything really. I'm
looking at buying one of the Resident Evil remakes, but
I might get games Passport, so I don't know. I
got some my gifts, got lots of pretty much I
just asked for like I ask for stuff I want.
I don't like stuff that I need. I don't like utensils,
and I don't mind clothes like I got this from Emily.
I very much enjoy this top and I wanted stuff
like that because I'm trying to change my attire in
the real life, and then my fair gift that I
got from Emily as well. I request a few months ago.
Forgot Doctor Sleep four K. You can't see shit in
this video, but Doctor Sleep four K the director's cut.
I've been waiting because I was I was hoping she
would get that, and then I remember Christmas like, oh,
she probably got me that four K and I forgot
what I asked for. But yeah, nowadays, I trying to
get a bit more physical media for the ones I
find that I'm rewatching over. But I hope everyone had
a good Christmas. I hope everyone had a good New
Year's coming up. I don't know what you're doing or
what you're up to, but I hope that's good. Whatever
you did, hope you had a good time. And yeah,
I got a couple more still Christmas things I'd like
to watch. We kind of we have a rule that
until it's the New Year, we still watch them christmin
or Christmas as Jason stuff. So uh, yeah, let's get
into this right now. I guess can't get that starting soon.
Oh am I where am I I'm not even am
I not live on Oh my goodness, jeez, Louise, I
have to thank the man in the chair. Holy Moly,
s Bubbs, Oh thank you. I'm going to respond to
him right now. Thank you. It was unlisted. Comma, I
owe you big time. I there you go. Luckily I
didn't talk any of the news for the utube people.
Thank you to s Bobs. I'll send him a bonus
on the gimmick pay stub coming up. I gotta do
that in January. So gimmick boys, ga people, pay stubs
coming in whatnot on January for the last six months here.
But no, I was not live on YouTube. I guess
I made the stream last night. And the problem is
behind the scenes. If you make the stream on YouTube
and change the time, it's fine changing the time on
Facebook and Twitter. So pain in the ass. So shout
out s Bubs who said I was unlisted. All see
people on Facebook and Twitter are watching. But yeah, if
you miss that, hope you had a good holidays. And yeah,
let's get into let me get down the starting soon here.
Let me get into it now. So Avengers, this trailer
owesusly they are doing the method right of every week
they are doing a new trailer. We have talked about
this before. Where the you know, abesutly came out Steve
Rogers the Thor. I think they're doing this thing where
it seems like every Tuesday the HD version one comes out.
So I didn't really cover the Thor one if you
want to, you know, like the Thor one is even
Katie asked like, oh, does anyone have it? It's just
like it's just a prayer. Yeah, there you go. I
suppose that's why he's the official guy in the chair. Absolutely, sir,
thank you very much. Yeah see, I supposed look at
all the people in the chat now, thank you very much.
Made sense people watching them, it's been more required, So
thank you everybody that's joining. But obviously we got the
first trailer that they released with Steve Rodgers did big numbers, right,
and that showed kind of what I said before, where
there's people that, like us, are seeking it out and
people that are waiting for it. I talked to and
there's a lot of stuff i'll talk to about with
I'll save the Chris Evanston because I was talking about
I always use my family as GA barometers, right for
what's going on everything, right, So I'll talk about that
when I get to this trailer now. So we got
that one. We got the Thor trailer, which is just
him saying goodbye to love and praying. Right, but it
did kind of emphasize at least I think the only
thing it gave us was, Okay, Steve as a child Thor.
They're emphasizing, Hey, if you didn't see Love and Thunder,
which lots of people did, big movie, he as a child,
read as a child. There's probably some other people and
forgetting you got Chichalla's child in there, right, Like I imagine
if they che him up, sure he will be looking
after him. So there's I think there's we've heard the
rumor of Doom is losing a child at least, right,
So that would make sense where you have all these
heroes with children, and that's kind of a way to
pay him back. He's doing the whole fucking Penguin from
Batman Returns plot right as far as okay, I mean
take your first points. Fine, that's all right. I still
have some questions. I still like with Downy on Christmas
when he shared another Instagram post, he does this a
lot where it's Ironman and Doom. I've said this something
with the Marvel Boys, which stay tuned next week marvel
A Liance will be back. I have to confirm with
Chris if they're doing predictions or not. I know they've
got lots the trailers to break down with these teasers,
so we'll see. But anyways, whenever they do the twenty
twenty six predictions, I'll be on there because I love
being that that's a yearly cast. Haven't been on a bit,
but I was talking with them and I still will
say this. All I need is for Doom and Ironman
to be linked one way. If it's not gonna be
a fail, but if like Victor von Doom just happens
to look like Robert Downey Jr. That will at least
probably be a point off for me in review. I
know that sounds dumb, but in this universe and how
big Downy was and Ironman, even if I love what
Brent said a long time ago, where whether you swap
either way where it was Victor von Doom was adopted
by the Starks or the Star or Tony Stark was
adopted by Victor Vondu, whichever I want to say. I've
heard there's being rumors of them saying like that's what
they're gonna do, for the six one six, like the
main universe, like Downy from Ironman to Endgame was actually
Victor von Doom adopted. I don't know how I feel
about that. That's kind of odd for our number one
hero to be like always a film. But at the
same time, the idea is, well, if Downey's gonna stick
around his Doom, he's gonna be more important than can
get an actual Iron Man, and maybe that can make
people feel better about this sause, oh, this is a government.
I don't know. I've said this before. I feel like
the movie, the rules, all this is gonna be a
big fucking mess, and I hope they can just land
the plane, and I hope I can enjoy it, and
I hope that stuff makes sense. I am not optimistic
about a lot of it, but I'm trying to be hopeful.
I'm definitely curious. It's gonna be a great review, It's
gonna be a great watch, don't get me wrong. I
just hope it's in a way that when I watch Endgame,
I don't have to ignore what happened here, right, which
I think what they're playing with could be. Then we
got this third trailer right and again for anybody that's
watching life. I'm not going to pull up any clips,
any pictures. I don't want to risk of this channel
getting shut down. So it's out there if you want
to find it. Kind of they they did like tear
this down. This one down a lot quicker, I'd say.
I'd say the third one took longer to get out there,
but it was there's not much to it, but Steve Rodgers,
it felt like ka was out there for like, you know,
half a day. There's better versions, like okay, we'll start
taking down the X Been one. It was like it
was out there for an hour and then it was gone,
and then oh it's back, Oh it's gone. It was
I don't know. I don't know, Like maybe that's part
of the appeal, right that they want people to look faster,
because I've said this before, every time these trailers Lea
can get out there, they trend on Twitter that people
are looking for him trying to find them, right, So
maybe that was the idea of like take it down,
or maybe it was like let's play this a little
bit longer. It is obviously I'm going to say it
it is the X Men or some of the X
Men let's have this play and it be a big moment. Right,
So that's what this trailer was very cool trailer where
oh that's what I was gonna say. With the Thor one,
it really didn't do anything other than to me of like,
there's no notunce with no big c no reveal. I
guess it's just to be like, Okay, yeah, Hempsworth's back.
You all love Chris Hemsworth. Right, but also felt like
it was for the like the not haters, but you know,
some of those people that are haters who don't like
that Thor. I think it's still a small majority of
people that are complaining to that much. But it was like, hey,
you know, funny, funny Thor. He's not in this. Don't worry.
We've cut his hair. He's back to being how he was.
An endgame as as we've heard, the rumor is this
movie is a direct sequel endgame. With Thor's hair being short.
It literally feels like it could be that the daughter
you could fill in anyway, Right, he had an adopted daughter,
he had a daughter at a wedlock. They might like
say a couple of things, right, even when he meets Loki, Right,
even if you had Loki in that trailer, that would
have been big, but nothing really bigger than other than hey,
amsters in this movie. And he's not funny, Okay, which
I'm sure it'd be funny, but you know what I mean. Right,
So we get this trailer, which are hitting on a
lot of classic stuff. Right. They show the X Mansion
looking very rad very battle worn, and we don't know,
because we'll get to it at the end of the
trailer what the status of the mansion is is a
battle warm because the students aren't There is a battle
warm because the attack we don't know. But it's Xavier
and he's talking. He's just kind of like a couple
of lines. You show him moving a chess piece stuff
like that. That's great. And then where was the I'll
get the quote here he's talking with Magneto, who this
is the biggest thing, and this is why I'm excited
to it. And at some point I want to and
get the full trailer, talk with the boys about this,
the GV boys, and do like a fold might even
be like a good bread and butter. I don't know.
I maybe in the super Bowl trailer if that happens.
We're gonna get revealed of who it is, right But anyways,
he's sitting there Magneiel's bearded, long hair. He says, death
comes for us. All that's all I know for sure.
The question is if you aren't or sorry? The question
isn't are you prepared to die? The question is who
would you be when you close your eyes? Now? Awestly,
before we get to the back half here, we don't
know the status of any of these fuckers, right right,
That's the thing. Xavier has died three times. He died
in Last Stand, he died in Logan, and he died
in Multiverse of Madness. And we've always said, is this
an Xavier that is new? And say, here's an Xavier,
here's a completely new universe. Go is this an Exavier
that's picked from before one of those times where he dies.
That's where it gets tricky. I felt like the Endgame
and MCU, the Endgame, Endgame and the NSU establish what
their time travel rules are. I think a lot of
this multiverse stuff. If you do something like bringing Xavier back,
I guess it kind of maybe breaks some of that, right,
So there's times where I remember the Endgame we talked
on the review and I try to justify it. Maybe
they will again this time. I think like I'm just
gonna throw that out the window. That is kind of
a score against it in my pin. But that's the
whole MC right, But I'll just throw it out. Okay,
whatever multiverse time travel mumbo jumbo might not make sense.
I've said this before. It still doesn't technically make sense
about Logan being in the dead Pool universe, right, because
in the Deadpool universe they're talking about Logan being a
hero and sacrificing himself. If people don't for or people
forgotten Logan takes place far in the future, like after
Deadpool two and three. So if you bring Logan, like
a Logan from that universe into the one where he dies,
there's still a Logan that's gonna die, granted, like this
one won't. I guess it's like the whole Captain American thing, right,
where I believe that Cap went to a different multiverse.
Now there's chances where I actually know he's been sitting
there the whole time, just waiting, chill and doing nothing.
As the time travel thing, right, it's very messy. It's
all over the place. That's where some turbulence is gonna
happen in this plane analogy, right, so in this sense
of magneto, right, One thing I thought was very interesting
in Day's Future Past, and they know they did nothing
with it in the movies, and that was not a
setup for this movie. So don't don't think like, oh, hey,
they set up long term no in Days of Future
Past when And I've liked the suggestion too that people
have said, hey, if they use Steve Rogers going back
to being with Peggy as like a way where it
start an incursion, right Wolverine in Days of Future Past,
like going like to and from like saving that universe.
If they want to make that incursion like retroactively, that'd
be cool, Like I'm down with that. And my point
is when they when they went back one of my
favorite scenes of all time when he sees the school
and the score the whole time, I got goosebumps right now, fuck,
And then at the door when he sees Gene and
he goes to Toucher and Scott, hey, that's my girl,
like good to see, like he's happy to annoyed goosebumps
listening to retrospective me Kyle and Kirkland did. I fucking
loved that movie, Top ten combat movie. I think I'd
have to look at this listen. Now, there's been so many,
but I think that's still up there for me. But
what was always very interesting is when he went back,
you did not see Mystique and you did not see Magneto,
and when we got a flash like obviously that Days
of Future Pass. I think logan is supposed to be
the logan logan right from the James Mangold movie. They
say Olemewans died, we don't know what happened with them, right, so,
and same thing with like Logan from Deadpool. That's where
it gets confused. But Logan from Deadpool all his X
Men died right like, like we assume right he's the
last one. He's the last of the X Men. So
I don't think it's that universe. And you could make
an argument that maybe it is the Day of the
Future Pass universe that either you can say the logan
from James Mangold movie is a whole different logan in general,
or that's one alternate universe that could happen, right, one possibility. Again,
it gets messy. I see why a lot of people
might jump off. But that's where just even Xavier or
Magneto with the beard and the hair, people pointing out
times because like I've read many comics, but I'm not
a comic officionado. I put myself in like a C
plus tier for knowledge. Maybe on certain times I could
be a bee, but like I can't when I go
on vodka stream and here's some of these guys. They
are people that I've read the stories and read the multiples.
I've said this before where I need to go reread
a lot of stuff because my cousin had a bunch
of comics I remember as a kid. I was just like,
I need to go back. And that's why I hopefully
we do come versions again because that was a fun time.
But there's been times where and I don't think this
is it right, but it could be. With that quote
the reason I brought people have theorized what if that
is a moment where in sometimes the comics Magneedle multi
times takes a metal adam Antioff, Wolverine and Xavier and
even is this an ultimate x Men in a different
way kind of mind wipes Xavier right or sorry Xavier?
Mind wipes Magneedle where he doesn't know who he is,
that he's evil. We don't know if that situation, We
don't know if Magnil's is bad. But in this quote
where he says, the question isn't who are you prepared
to die? God, I keep sucking that. The question isn't
are you prepared to die? The question is who would
you be when you close your eyes? Right? And that
would kind of make sense if Xavier either mind wipe
him or he's kind of been in like a mental
coma where he just thinks he's a regular guy and
Exiber has to wake him out of that, right, And
you could argue, hey, Magneto might be pissed that you
put him in this mental coma, and it's like, hey,
like you may me miss all this time. But at
the same time, if Magnil got really bad and now
the world's ending, you can see the and again this
is the tough thing with Steve with other stuff. It
that kind that kind of did that day as a
future pass right. He was a bet in the movie
that he was a bad guy. And at the end
he goes, oh man, we really fucked up. I'm paraphrasing,
we really fucked up, Like all this time we wasted.
We could have been together, we could have been saving lives,
we could have figured out a way, and it's it's
a great moment, right, and then the sentinels come in.
You're kind of hitting on that again. If it's like, hey,
we woke up from this coma and we need you
to be good, and like, yeah, we waste so much time.
I get that. But I think this movie's gonna hit
on a lot on the sawsure, right, And before I
go into the next point here, I'll transition into it.
I was talking about again a film junkie or a
vodka stream ever, gonna check out film junkie. You know, Dave,
one of my good friends there on the online sphere.
He was talking because he's in the camp and I
understand this camp, right. I think Brent's in this camp.
I think Chris and David might be this camp a
little bit. I think they might be a little worries
So amazing because I just talk more about I think
that Brent and tons of people in this camp where Russo's.
You could even make an argument that the Russo's directed them.
If someone were to say they directed the Mount Rushmore
and MC movies. I would push back, but I would
not like in my opinion, but I would not say
you're a wrong opinion. Winter Soldier, Civil War, Infinny Warren, Endgame,
anybody could make those top four. I go, yeah, okay,
Like I think I wouldn't have a Winter Soldier on there.
I personally wouldn't have any Infinity War there. For a
personal thing, I get why people do. I've always said
I prefer Endgame, but that's a personal thing because I
like depressing movies. So I love the first act when
a lot of people like, oh it takes a while,
Like I like the universe. It's a lot of great
character work, like for me, like Steve Rogers being the therapist,
Paul Rudd finding his fucking daughter, like that's stuff, all
the downy and him and Evan's coming together, all the
subtle stuff, like it's it's some great stuff, right, But
that's a different cast. But anyways, I think because I
was on I'm trying to get a baby sleep last night,
I've said before him, I'm on a bus or I'm
trying to get baby sleep where he's gonna hold him,
and it's like I got nothing else to do. That's
whe'm on Twitter or if it's a live sports events.
And I saw a film junkie he had tweeted out
about because he's on the sidewhere because he trusts the
Russos with the films because of what they've done in
the past, and he thinks that it will be a okay.
But he's still cautious, right, But he was pointing up
that man people seeing the next character aka Cyclops doing
the thing he is looking away he does, a lot
of people are just turning and flipping right, And that's
where I am where. It's just like we see a
few seconds of this and the the deniers and the
I don't. I'll call myself a denier, not a hater.
A hater is you want them to do bad? I don't.
I want. I think my biggest MCU thing I could
say the most I was worried up until I'm being
proven wrong was go Guardians too, because Guardians too know
a lot of people would say you were right about that.
All those trailers I did not really enjoy. That's what
I love having record podcasts. I was worried as gonna
be disappointment. I have the hot take of I think Guardians,
I'll say Guardians who is my fair? I think number
one's the best, but Guardians two is my fair. A
lot of people don't. A lot of people have like bottom
three MC or bottom five maybe now because there's other stuff, right,
but I thought, no, I'm not gonna enjoy this as much.
And I loved it for many reasons chant other reviews
and we've talked about many times. Right, so I want
December sixteen, seventeen whenever. Like, I don't think this will
ever still reach endgame in Fennie War levels, but if
they can land the plane and not be a complete mess,
fix some things like they did with a Viney War endgame,
if they can, to me, like I think for the
general audience, it needs to be a seven. If they
can make this an eight for me, I'm pretty happy.
I'll be disappointment with some aspects if I couldn't all
come together. But it's been a bumpy road with COVID strikes,
king iiger like like a chapick. It's been a bumpy
phase in general. Right, So it's not all their fault,
all the far, all the all of their fault. I
would take the water. I have no fucking idea where
water is. So we're going out with the waters cast yeah, hashtag,
hell yeah dry mouth. No one cliped that. So to me,
that's where I'm getting back to, right. But I'd say
I'm a done, I er, I'm I'm pessimistic. I am
the same way where they've done that. And I don't
even care about the track record. I know people bring
up the other movies. That does factor into the Russo's
story of what they've done post Endgame and Infinity War,
but still like, ah, they're in the machine. I think
they work well here, let's see what they do right?
Uh for people just to flip and just h And
it's all the people that I whether it is account
bigger accounts that people have, retweeter or light because that's
why Twitter works, right, sounds gets on your time, or
people that are and I'm excited to talk about After
Night because I felt like everyone was, you know, very
like like I'm trying to spect. Oh god, I've lost
the fucking word. But a lot of people had it
at arms as far as and when we talk about
After Night, as far as being excited liking these characters
but worried about what's gonna happen. How they're gonna do
it right, I think with this is for the people
at the end of the day, first world prompts. I
don't really care much. If you were pessimistic and you
saw this trailer, you saw because the shot is they
go to fucking James Mars and cyclops. He's in full
gear except for the trunks, which is so funny because
I've brought this up and I feel like people on
top post, but like there's a big debate a couple
of years ago and Superman was coming up in the
trunks and no trunks. Maybe it's just a Superman thing.
We'll see what happens with Batman. But no yellow trunks here.
I'm always a poort of trunks. I don't care. It
never looks like unerward of me. It's just part of
a costume. No trunks on him. But other than that,
like shoulder waist belt, the X on there advisor looking
very comebackery, his fucking leg belts like blue suit. He
looks very much like instead of the in two thousand
X Men black leather, right, you want to wear yell spandex.
Other than the trunks, he is looking calmaker, right, He's
covered in mud and blood. There's explosions around him. He
whips off his visor, falls to his knees, massive blast.
The X mansion it looks like behind him is destroyed.
There's a fucking set in a walking Absolutely doesn't look great.
Is it cool? Is it filled with aura? Absolutely? But
when I see the trend and I'm looking for the trail,
as I see the Russos are cooking, they get the
X Men. We should have ever doted the Russos yet,
da da da da. People that are not doing that
for just engagement, because I'll see that's filled with that
now with people with trying to get money from Twitter. Right,
unless you are feeling genuinely about that, that's great. If
you were, Oh man, I don't really care about this.
He saw this and I just got you excited, that's fine,
be excited. I'm out here to yucking yum or rain
on our parade, right, Absolutely, I'm just trying to bring
in some perspective. I'm trying something and I'm trying to
hit you on the head. Right, It's funny because I
saw I can't remember, Oh Maddie, you you inspired me
on this because I saw you watch fucking Superman again.
You watched Superman again. I clicked it said how many
times have you seen this? Right? And then when I
saw that, I saw your four favorites great choices. It
was Oppenheimer the Batman. Uh, no time to dine. I
can't remember the fourth one, the Batman. I've always you
know me, mad, I always struggle with putting in the
top ten because I already got the Dark Knight there.
But there's days where I wake up and go, oh,
that's why I feel but no time to die. When
I saw that in there, and I remember, this is
what we all need right when we because it's all fun.
But when I walked out that theater, I said, that's
my fair bond, best bond yet Da da da. And
when I sat down, kirkn fell at a little different
about it and like, I don't know, man, Like I'm
just on a high and I don't know if I
I can't remember if I give a full ten. But
I was like, this is peak bond now, right, And
then once you started talking, yeah that's kind of true,
and yeah it's right. I still loved it. I still
but it's still critiqued a little bit. And I like Okay,
I still put Skyfall, but I still put Golden Eye.
I still put Casino Royal. You know, I still put uh.
You know, I don't know if I put into the
older bonds, maybe Goldfinger, right, but I say, okay, that
kind of brought down. But Maddie, it'd be in the
top four. I'm not gonna push back. I'm with you there, brother,
but that's where it was. Where. This is where I am.
I'm here to give you a just a hit on
the floor, just a reminder, right, it's cool to see
hype aura stuff. You know. This is like it's like
in any type of romantic colmedy or dramai there's like
the hot employee at work or something like that. Look
a little actually, right, Let's say you walk in the bedroom,
walking in the office and they're sitting there naked. They
might be fucking one hundred ten, your dream girl, whatever,
but remember you're married and if you're happy, go home,
be with the person you love the most. Don't get
distracted by the pretty guy or the pretty lady. Cyclops
with the outfit with the big blast in the centel
back is the pretty guy am the pretty lady. I'm
not saying I'm sure saying that, and like Doomsday, it's
gonna be absolute shit. No, I have worries it's gonna
be messed and a failing grade or like a six
at ten, which to that should not be Avengers movie right,
ultront to me is a seven out of ten. I
think that was a little bit messy, but I think
they could afford to do that back then, and I
think that was fine because we kind of got Civil
War after, which was kind of a meacopa, right, and
maybe that's what Secret Wars is. But Cyclops is the
pretty guyer girl. It looks great, but if you were
like me where you were worried, don't get distracted by
the shiny thing. Don't get distracted by I can trust
the Russos to make hype moments. I can trust the
new or moments. That's great of Cyclops and James Marsen too,
which people thought was a great casting for Cyclops, just
got riddled with bad scripts and bad placement, with Wolverine
being the main right that like, it's great comic, accurate look, costume,
the visor looks like an epic moment that is very easy.
That is the which I'm not with us, but that
is the equivalent of people that say, hey, dream sequences
should get banned trailers because look at BVS. Right and
Beva is different because of Justice League and where it
would have gone with the continued that the nightmare scenario
stuff was real going into Right. But I remember after BVS.
People being like, man, there's a bunch of cool looking
shit and it's just a dream that's fucking lame. And
I wasn't on that. I was. I didn't love the
nightmare stuff at most back then. I have warmed up
to it now and I would love to see that movie.
But I understood people or even like, you know, fake
stuff and trailers with the Avengers in Findy War right,
it's easy to put this hype stuff. It is ninety
seconds of looking cool and it's a nostalagion. I've seen people,
even critics, they're like, you know, I've seen them playing
chess like I'm back. Don't get them wrong. Same thing
I'll talk about on Sidequest. The last couple of weeks,
I've been trying to knock off some of the backlog.
I played Resident Evil too. I was a big fan
when I was a kid, and with the remake, there's
multiple things of literally, I was transported and I said
this in the Game of the Year. I'm sorry if
I'm repeating. I was tramp supported back to Tras being
you know, eight to ten on his PS two playing
that game and it's like, oh, we need the medallions
of it's that rat too, you mean, right? I was there. Now.
The opposite flip side of though, is the RESUMEU remakes
a great game. That's what they have to do if
you can do with both of them right, And to me,
lots of people don't have their dead Pool. Wolverine did
that for me. It was a great mix of nostalgia
and new stuff and a good journey. Sure, there were
some beats we kind of hit on with Wolverine we'd
done before. It wasn't the strongest losing the xt thing
I think it is. I've said it before that moves
a ten out of enjoyment as far as an actual like,
I couldn't give it a ten for a critical because
any of these things missing no way home endgame I
think also hit on those things that were perfect nostalgia,
and then those to me, I have no problem given
tens right nostalgia, but did stuff for the story. That's
all they need. It can be done, don't get me wrong,
But Endgame, NOI Home and de Woolverine had a lot
less baggage. Endgame had not. It had baggage on a run,
but didn't have that type of baggage as far as
they were rocking and roll and they knew where they
were going, right, No Way Home was like, I don't
think they really had much baggage. I think it was
kind of not a layup to make the movie, but
just a lamp as far as people, We're gonna accept
that stuff in there, right saying the devil will pull Wolverine.
It's been a while. We're just bringing Wolverine back. We
love that, right, And that's where though maybe it doesn't
matter right. We'll talk about the box office in a second,
but obviously Leland Stitch just a rehash of the live
action stuff. Minecraft to me, not a good movie, but
you could argue that's tons of nostalgia and moments of
the same thing. I about residing with Dallion of like,
oh the creeper, they said this, they did this right.
Maybe that's where to you still need to be like
you still actually no, you don't you don't. I take
that back, because I say, I hate the argument of
they just gotta make a good movie. They know. For me,
Minecraft is an awful movie, off awful and may nearly
billion dollars. Right. I think sometimes being a great movie
can definitely help you, right, But sometimes you just need
to get the perfect cocktail of nostalgia and stars and
effects and enjoying and everything. Right, same thing as Avatar three.
It's killing it for most majority of reviews I've read,
and people i'd say listened, because I don't really read
many reviews, but Pod Casher I listened to, and my
friends other than Tarnan Kirkland i've and I guess I
might had that too, But other before I talk to
him on Afric nine, everybody talked to is. I guess
the lowest of three doesn't matter. It's about to make.
It's gonna be a billion dollars. It's gonna be lower
than two, but still it doesn't matter for them. If
they can get up to almost two point billion. I
think a billion on that half, but I think at
almost a two point billion, which is what they're looking at,
that's great. Right. So I was talking about this with
my sister because we were talking a bunch of things.
We'll talk about the stranger things, but she's very general
audience right, Like she's she's just watching Breaking Bad now
after years of me telling her watch Breaking Bad, she
would have no interest and then texting me, oh, it's
a great show all the time. But there's an example
of Walter does bad things in that show, and she
only cares when he does things too. U main characters
she likes, not the not the innocent people. But I
was like, hey, you know, you're not really understands. But again,
people just enjoy things, watch things in diffoainy, right. So
we talked because she had seen this. I think she'd
seen a trailer or like a TikTok and she'd clicked
on it and saw like a lot people in the
comments not happy with the Chris Evans thing. And I
don't think it was nagave, but she was just not
happy with or she was wondering why people were kind
of like, oh, he's bad, like I think, and I
don't know. I didn't send her anything, but whatever she
clicked on was definitely a fan based apeel like myself
of love Chris Evans, love Steve Rodgers, is my fairy
mcu character. Do we need to bring him back in
this fashion? Right? I've talked about it, you go ba
a couple weeks ago. Is this is this needed? Is
this kind of a mistake? Are you just heavy lying
on nostalagy? And with Danny Evans, I think they are right,
as If said, which is a question of how good
can they make the nostalgic story? But they're leaning on
it big time. So she goes, why is everyone mad?
And I kind of explained what I do? You know
on the podcasts, you know, like people, there's other characters
that we followed. Kind of feels like you get a
perfect ending, listened to all the reasons someone might be mad, right,
not exactly the exact one. It's like stranger things we
we talked about. It seems like people are mad for
a bunch of different reasons, right, but still I listed
the breath like kind of ballpark, right, and I said,
so that's just a show, okay, And then I can't
remember I'm paraframed, but she just kind of said like, oh,
I don't care. I'm just happy to see Chris Evans back.
And that's where I think the majority and when I
saw him with Dave too, like he was when he
said his dad saw the trailer and kind of had
a similar thing, right, like, oh cool, he's back. Didn't
care what the story why. Majority of the people that
are seeing because they have us, they have all of
us LinkedIn, right. Majority of the people seeing this movie
are going to people that are those hardcore mainstream or sorry,
just the mainstream people that love those Infinity War, Endgame
all that stuff. Right. And that's where I've said before
as a watcher, as a fan, and someone suck with
the Phase four is Phase six and wants better things
for the MCU, I don't like that it's nostalgiers because
here's the thing. If it's installagi and it sucks, then,
as I said before, they're big time screwed. I've said
it almost cats. If it's a nostallogi in like a
seven out of ten, I think they're fine. You know,
they got the audience, people will come back for the
bigger stuff. They're fine. But it's nostalgic and it sucks
and we'll step ry. Skywalker BA can really damage the brand, right,
But if it's astaulting, I'm just good. People are happy.
There's people that like this, they've seen the Cyclops thing.
They're fucking in even and it is cool when the
trailer ends and it says the X Men, I'm gonna
go now the X Men. When we returning Avengers Doomsday,
it has been like what, also, we got adjacent stuff,
but when was Dark Phoenix? And also it didn't go
on like the biggest thing Oh no, oh it's twenty
nineteen as well. So it's just kind of funny where
we're talking about like this being a direct sequel and
it's just like we're like, oh, we're bringing back the
things from twenty nineteen thor short Hair Captain America. When's
the last time you saw the X Men, like as
a unit twenty nineteen and we're bringing it back. So
but it it is cool where it's like, yeah, we
haven't seen that team for a while. And that's where
I still want to do a cast with boys because
granted I still wonder what this does of you bring
all these actors back and does that not maybe because
I argued for after Dark Phoenix, I was someone that said,
you know what they want to do first class? Uh,
Derek emsays to do that that James Marsonshott was enough
to get me in. And that's what it is, right,
And that's not like for Derek or anybody else. I'm
not just trying to say in an offensive way, right
because I'm already in and we talk about all this stuff,
like does the story matter? Does it bring them back?
Like what I was just gonna say, does it? Like
I thought that they should have brought back the old
cast after Dark Phoenix. I thought there was momentum there.
I think everyone I talked to when I was watching movies,
and that was before the podcast with I used to
I said, go to theaters with like twenty to thirty
of my friends from best Buy. We'd all. What I'd
do is when I was you know, friends and colleagues,
but I'd go buy tickets for everybody and we make
it a big movie night. That was one where people
were excited to see like Xavier, Scott Jean, like all
that stuff. People I think would have been down for
an old X Men one. Right, And do you do
that again where I said, do you reset the ticker
when you brought back Hugh Jackman? Every time you reset
the ticker of people accepting a new Wolverine do you
do that again with the X Men? Sure, you kill them,
but what happens if you bring them back and people
love this movie, they love the cy Club stuff. They're like, oh,
I'd like to see them again. You kill them and
the next X movie movie comes up with a bunch
of new actors and it doesn't do well. Why because
it's not the X when they love and the thing
is you might go, oh, well, they killed them off,
shouldn't they get it? You have established Xavier Downy, even
writing off Steve Rogers, you've established now just like in
comic books, it doesn't matter. There's a multiverse, there's things
you can do. You kill off somebody that is not
the end of the road. Nobody's ever really gone, as
Luke Skywalker said, right, So that's why to me, I
think there is a good shot that people love this
and they announce oh yeah, Sadie think is Jeen Gray
and all this is like, yeah, I don't really want
them back, you know, like that's or like at least now, right,
it's not been long enough, right, So I think there
is a risk there, but I don't think they care.
They're try and get their money and their hoopla and
we'll see what happens. But yeah, it's don't get me wrong,
it's a the teasers like a HT four A eighty.
It looks very cool, though I'm excited for the full thing.
Aesthetically everything as far as a teaser yet and again,
marketing wise, absolutely, the X Men have been gone now
for seven years, right, and they're getting and even them right.
You could argue that this set of X Men like
James Marsden and Ian McKellen since twenty fourteen, so twelve
years there is To me, there is hyped in the
X Men will return, and you know, it's so funny
before we move on to the box office people seeing
the X Men will return an Avengers Doomsday that that
doesn't even make sense because they were never in this universe.
It should be like, you know, joining Avengers Doomsday or
will be an Avengers Doomsday. So to me, everybody in
the past that's been like when's Batman joining the Avengers?
Are oh the X Men? You go, oh no, no, no, no,
this is this. Anybody that felt that way and was
told otherwise or have never been told, feel a little justified.
They might be this whole time watching these X Men movies,
and this is somebody, right, This is someone in the
GA that watched The X Men and watched The Avengers
a minute, man, I would love them to do and
Avengers in an X Men movie, not knowing the whole
Fox and the rights and different characters for them. This
is not the oh yeah, Disney bought Fox and got
X Men and they're bringing them back. Even though this
is they're fucking finally doing it. It's just like BVS. Right,
Like obviously it's different actors, but it's like we're finally
getting Batman for sup Ban For a lot of people.
This is wow, same thing as Avengers or Endgame old
they're bringing together. Finally, they're bringing the X Men in here.
I've been waighing forever or Hugh Jackman, right, that was
beening to all the movie. They didn't know anything about
the rights or the character or Hugh Jackman being done.
It's like, finally they're doing this. I've been weighing forever,
the same way as one point when they if we
ever get Avengers versus Justice League or that type of movie,
they'll be oh, finally they're putting these comic books together.
They've been like this for years Nope. But I just
laughed when I saw that Avengers or X Men will
return Avengers endgame. It's like they're not returning to anything.
They've not been here before, right, this is their first
time a lot of them, but it doesn't matter, and
that's the way it plays. So I think Margaret and
Why is still smart. I think it's a great trailer.
We'll see. I think there's a rumor about the next
one being Black Panther and Fantastic four, which I think
is good, like raise them up on a level. I'm
wondering what if there is any reveal there? And then
uh yeah, because this had come out last week, because
what was it? Because Snyder so bat here put out
that it was gonna be X Men, it was gonna
be F four and Black Panther. He had also put
out that he he had heard that Marvel's trying to
hold back on the Doom stuff. And I wonder if
that's just because they want to give it one last
big like they want to just see how it's doing
before and push after. They really want to make you
wait and see if it is that rumored plotline we
talked about of what if he is appearing as Iron
Man or Tony Stark and then the switch happens, right,
because there is tons of people that will not know
that you could do that or is it just kind
of like remember with Endgame, Thanos was barely in the
trails until the very final trailer they showed like a
shot of Thanos, Right, So that's the thing where it
kind of like it works. You're showing all the stuff.
There's no way they're not showing Downy in a trailer
because to me, if you don't show Downny a trailer,
they should never done the Comic Con thing obviously what
they want to get hype with us, right, but like
they're gonna show them, which just a question of how
maybe it's that full trailer when we get the Super Bowl.
But yeah, I think, well I think they should still
do even if it's like Chichalla Junior grown up a
little have a little something in there, but uh, yeah,
I think it's still good. And I'm excited to see
this an HD and yeah, excited to see the X
Men back. Who knows how it's gonna go, but happy
to see them back. And in Comic ac Precautions, we
saw Xavier with this jacket, the blue Jack with the
Red ex So there was that thing a couple of
months ago that leaked that was like a like a
crew like sweater or something like that. So it looks
like all of those looks have matched the teasers. So
if if there is a full trailer, I still would like,
you know, Sam and the crew to get some love,
but we're not doing that. We're Herena. We're gonna sell tickets, right, folks.
We're not here to give teams love or like make
them seem like big players just to get these tickets going.
So uh yeah, we will see. Let me pull up
the box office for this weekend. Obviously, it's kind of
all over the place because it is a you got
Christmas box office, but then it's also what is it?
It's uh, you had the sorry Christmas box office box
a day Christmas lee but also the weekend, so there's
kind of a hybrid. So I'm gonna be talking about
just kind of some numbers in general here, but Avatar
currently sitting at seven hundred and sixty million. I think
it's like the third or fourth biggest movie after a
couple of weekends being a bunch of them. So obviously
we talked about last week it came out, it was
about thirty one percent down, saying it was like forty
million lower than that for the uh Fire and Ash
versus Way and Water. But obviously this happens to a
lot of time because if you start with a bigger number,
your drop's gonna be bigger than second weekend. Right, So
you would think, oh yeah, Fire and Ash would have
a smaller drop because it has a smaller opening. It did,
But what it also did is had a bigger second
weekend than Avatar Way of Water. I think Way Water
was like I'm spitballing, but was like one sixty versus
one eighty for Fire Ash. As I said before you
know to me, Avatar two was the official Kate, let's
see all this goes. What's gonna happen? Once that made
two whatever billion, it became the third biggest movie all
the time. I'm not betting against Cameron. I can say that,
oh I think it's gonna be six hundred million less
and it's gonna be the less of the three and
do about this. But again, one point seven in this climate,
that's fucking huge, and that's exactly what is projected as
one point seven one point eight. I went with one
point seven. That's a win for them, And why would
they not make Avtar four and five? Right, Like, I
don't know unless Cameron doesn't want to do it. But
it's like, I'm not gonna bet against these movies. I
really don't think so, because I think the good thing
they have with them. I'm not sure. I know Cameron
wants to make this Horotia hirosial mom movie. I don't
know if it's gonna happen in between, but I think
if it does, then he goes back to Avatar. That's
the benefit they do have that, you know, Marvel films
and Common films can hurt them is there's at least
a break, you know, like Avatar two came out twenty
twenty two, right, so three year break, so like by
time you've kind of forgot about when you start to
miss them, there's the movie. Right. So I'm not really
surprised by this. It's kind of tracking how I thought
it was gonna go, even though that first weekend had
like a lower opening than Way Water. To me, it
was just like exactly what I thought, Like, people need
to these movies perform a different way Christmas performs in
a different way. So I did fantastic it. The second
weekend was outpacing Wave of Water. So we'll see how
the third one goes. But again, you still got you know,
New Year's that's also apparently a big day. You got January.
There's not too much hell or too much things. Again,
that's way right, because, like we've talked about before, there's
a Sam Raimi Sam Help movie, there is Bone Temple.
I'll be seeing those, but I don't think those are
big threats to Avatar right. If anything, I think those
movies are at risk. Like opening there, I hope some
of them work out well, but that's says the one.
This one ends away where very much is. If it
didn't do well, it could have ended there. Yeah, I've
heard that, right, I've heard that, but they've definitely been
making four and five now. Yeah, and to me, that's
that's smart now, right, Like Way of Water, I felt
like that was I still thought it was gonna be huge.
It was this question of how big, but that kind
of thought he was in the bag, right, But they
filmed back to back. I think that is smart to
end in that way. But that's why I've heard where
you could close it off here and you don't have to.
But officsely he has more ideas, so great and they
would probably film because I feel like he I don't know,
wasn't Didn't he talk about like six and seven one point?
I don't know, like get the fucking Mena or like six,
seven or eight? Like I can't remember that because I
feel like, oh, he talked about the trilogy? Did he
talk about five? And then he starts talking about more?
I feel like the five is like the locked in place?
Well the first movie were so yeah, I can't I
can't remember, can you I suppose to any of the
child let me know? Like he was talking about six
and seven right? Or was he just talking about four
or five? Maybe I was wrong, but I feel like
that was a thing, but four and five feel more
solidified as far as like a Okay, that's the camera
and run now right. I'm not saying you can't make
Avatar six or seven, but that's where some people might
start to check out. That's when you start to get
like Transformers right, eventually going Okay, I'm I'm kind of
done here. I don't think you should still make it
Avatar movies, but I think that's the thing where you
know you can have other directors do it or spin
it off or do whatever. Now Fox I think owns
it now right, But yeah, it's doing great. Not surprised.
That's what I thought it would do. So another big story,
Mary Supreme opened a twenty eight million worldwidse they got
change up to twenty eight point two. I can't wait
to see this. As I've said before, Christmas movies are
such a pain in the ass for me to see.
It's it's always a difficult time just with family and everything.
So my plan is at some point I should see what.
I gotta check my life and what's going on. But
I want to see that before the the I rang
the movies next year. I've heard nothing but great things
obviously with Chris, but nothing are great things from people,
So I still I don't. People have been starting to
push it as like a Best Picture contender to win.
Maybe I still think Oba has that. I think that
Timmy's gonna still win Best Actor. But still it doesn't matter.
When people made jokes about Okay, thank you last year,
Cameron said he has up to five written six and
several just ideas for now. Yeah, and that's where I
think it's like a good place to stay. Maybe he's
doing that again where it's gonna be like, Okay, he'll
do four and five and then it ends. And then
if it does, well, oh you knew six and seven.
But it's a good place to you know. He says, oh,
I got ideas big else, Well, you know what, I
don't want to do anything. And he's a weird guy, right,
saying need to do a press conference to reveal the
endings if they didn't happen. But I think you got
I already thought he had four and five. I still
think you get to six and seven, it's just like
a down the line and maybe people start to tap out.
But same thing depending on the cost, because I think
he's was it both these movies or was it just movie?
I guess it depends. But even if you can make
one movie and it's again four hundred million, and you
can get to even eight hundred or a billion, like,
it's still profit, it's still doing much better than a
lot of other movies. Right, So yeah, we'll see there.
But uh yeah, Mario supreme whatever. This is where I
talked about, we'll tell both predictions. I said. Some of
the campaigning rap video all stuff in the past that
would have been like, eh for the photers, not be
put for the phots. But yeah, this is kind of
kind of cheesy, kind of eh, I'm not gonna give
a best actor of this guy. The times have changed,
the voting, body's changed, the YouTube you know it's going
to YouTube, that's changed, like the Oscar gonna be on
fucking streaming, And can you make a case it'd be
different if people didn't like these antics and then we
kind of just performed what it was gonna do or
even bombed for him to do this promotional like a campaign.
And then it was tracking at sixteen or fifteen to
seventeen right million, twenty eight, so a whole ten million
over eleven million over? How can you argue that? Right?
How can you go out there and see? Because what
was one battle after another's opening? One battle after another?
I should just search it here because I'm on Box
Office Mojo. One battle after because I can't remember it's opening.
I feel it's like a forty or thirty nine ers, right, No, see,
I don't know, and I don't know if it's good
because I think I had like a bigger, broader appeal
like being a bit more actually right two oh five,
I don't think Mario's gonna get there. I think the
Christmas but Actually Happened helps it, but still domestic opening
twenty two million. Mario Supreme twenty eight. I think that
Christmas buffer adds too, so I feel like they kind
of have a similar opening, but still can't. I thay case,
that's a guy going and to me, one battle after another,
much more timely, all round, bigger stars. What in Mario Supreme?
You got odessa' zeon who like, I'm a big fan.
I'm fuck man, I that's that's a tress told you
right there? Go back, go back to the hell Raiser,
uh the Newest hell Raiser remake or whatever reboo whatever
it was, newest Hellmaker hell Raiser movie. I never seen
Odessa act, but I watched her that. I was like,
she's good, She's gonna be something. I bought those stocks.
I bought the stalks when they cost low, and now
I still not watch the Love La. I've not watched
Marie Supreme, but she's becoming like this hot thing right
now right and people picture for one of them because
of the hair. Sure, I fucking hashtagg trash told you
that's the show's called trash told you. I fucking called
it on a Dessa's ion. I knew that was gonna happen, right,
but her, it's Kenneth Paltro really opening a movie? No,
she adds to it, but is she opening a movie? No?
One battle off to another had much bigger star power.
So you can't argue, like, whatever this guy is doing
to go get people to see a a twenty four
Oscar bait? He says an Oscar eight, but people help
might look at it that way, right, Oscar type of
movie that's about ping pong. He worked his ass up
and he fucking did it, you know, And that's good. Sure,
some of the stuff is a little like ah, not
like I don't love it, Like I'm not watching the
full rat vedue. But cool, if it hits on the
audience to get people out there, I'm all for movies
doing well. A twenty four biggest opening. This fucking guy
set a record, how could it? Like it's undeniable, right,
I'm not seen Marie Supreme, so I have to see
if it's better than the other performances. But it's like
if it is for me. It's like, how do you
not hand him the warp? Right? Fuck the whole Oh,
you know the old narrative was in the oscars, So
do you make the males? Wait? You know, the star
the young females is get the Starlet Awards, and the
male's gotta earn it. Fuck it, He's already earned it,
by the way Shelman has earned it multiple times over.
So like, I think it's fun, but like still huge,
biggest opening in h twenty four weekend. We'll up see
what happens when they do elm Ring or des stranding,
but still based off that fantastic. So yeah, it's great
for them. Excited to see how it does in the
next little bit. Excited to add to that tally because
I will see it in theaters because I was even
iffy on like eh, the Pink pombably, both those trailers
are phenomenal. Right, So, and the last of the box
office here, I don't know the exact number, but it
was number two, so obviously this weekend it was Avtar again,
it was Utopia at twenty million, then Mario Supreme for
just a week it was fifteen million, so I can't
remember what. Oh in I guess this other story too.
I guess there's a couple other ones here. Utopia now
is the it gets. It's so annoying when they put
the live action animation remake of Lion King in there,
but technically Utopia, so taking that out is the fourth
biggest and made a movie of all time. Niza two
is number one. It's Inside Out two and then Frozen two,
and I think it's at like one point four to five.
So it just means like another twenty million, which I
think it could do New Year's Clearly, this is the
movie that families have chosen to see over that because
me and Emily were talking about, like, because I watched
cap Upteinehumers, why they didn't put that back in the
years for Christmas and we're talking about like oh becauz
Avatar and everything. But I said, like, I don't think
that would think for that crowd, it would have taken from Utopia.
I think z Utopia has taken more from the Wicked crowd, right,
because that's the other story. Wicked is on VOD tomorrow.
It's gonna end with about let me pull it up here.
I guess there's lots of stories at the box office
this week because Christmas, let me pull this here, I
pulled banniconic because I don't know what to see. Not
good reviews. But where is Wicked? I want to get
It's so it finished seventh or ninth at five million
the spekon case so five and then just like Wicked
twenty twenty four, just to confer, I want to see
what the full drop was there. So Wicked the first
one made seven hundred and fifty so seven to sixty
and this made five hundred million, and it's gonna kind
of stop there, right, make a couple more, but it's
gonna be a go via deal and me it gets
to five to ten pretty crazy, so what that's so?
But like one hundred and fifty No, yeah, I don't know. Shit,
take two fifty less two sixty less in the first one.
There's one that I was wrong about. I said, at
least it'll make what the first one did a little
bit more, if not a little bit less, but about
the same. That's big like and I was not surprised
though once. Like I said, I saw the movie and
I just felt like it was getting on. I get
the same word of mouth that the first one did.
Because I've talked to really nobody that's not a big
fan of the play, like a mic or something that
loved it to that same amount. Right, So I think
the word of mouth just happened there. I do wonder
if I've said this before, that maybe they should have
waited on another year. Maybe people miss it a little bit.
But again also just a movie just doesn't have that
word in my mouth. And uh, yeah, we'll see. But yeah,
finish up five like about five to ten. That's a
that's a big drop off when no I thought that
would have happened there. But yeah, Utopia, I think it
will be frozen. And I said this opening weekend too
when we got those numbers, was he gonna perform like
Mwana or Inside Out two? And when we got that
and it was very similar inside Out too, I said, Okay,
it's gonna be like that and again that tracking. So hey,
I was right Zutopia wrong about Wicked. But can it catch?
Can it catch? Gonna get another two hundred million? I
don't think it's gonna get Inside Out too? And I
do think I think it probably a little bit has
to do with summer. Always summer for is Christmas, But
I'm just trying to think why would be the difference,
what would be like because I was gonna say to me,
Inside Out two is a better movie. So maybe it's
just that, But maybe it's just appeals a bit more people.
But still it's apples oranges, right, But still I'm sure
I think, like, what is the two hundred million difference
between a zootope an Inside Out too? Like what gets there?
And maybe it's just some more of those greator like
create like the the creatures, whatever the emotions people go
on to Ian Riley right like seeing her grown up,
I think that always does help. So you got that
going on, you get the Housemaid right now sitting at
four sixty worldwide, so I think it's a budget of
thirty five and then kind of sixty sixty seventy with
what is it with marketing? So Austin it's made it's
production budget back. This will be a profit. This is
good for Sweeney and her crew because obviously what was
it was like something something Americana. It was Christie and
I feel like there's another one in there right that
really underperformed. We talked about that many times in the fall,
about Glenn Pale, her mark Quay some stars that are
coming on maybe shall may and could be you make
a case there, we'll see if it's still twenty million,
seventy million dollars budget, Like it's still not gonna be
a massive profit, right, but help do you make case?
Maybe he's starting to build with Dune, but we have
to see if he can do that all the time.
But this helps. But I think this is like a
multiple stars with with her, with Brendan'skalar and Big with
man Ceyfred. I think it's good counterprogramming. There's nothing like
this around the holiday season. I am interested see her
next story. Definitely, it's good to get a win, right
Sweening with anyone with you with this? People like her
a Christmas time, that's great, right, whether it's her acting,
whether it's just a see her whatever. I will see
this definitely, like on vod or something. I'm not gonna
go to the theater sees. I've heard it's like a shlocky,
good time fun. I like Ceifred, it's Clara. I'm fine
on I like Sweeney as an actress, so yeah, good
for her and her team there. Like again, like a
win there because if if this would have underperformed. I like,
legitimately euphoria gives her a boost, right because this is
a good kind of one two punch yout house man.
That's a hit. Then back to Eupouria. I think she
can be on the up and up. If this would underperformed,
you would have seen her probably leading a lot less movies.
But this gonna add some juice to the fire, right,
So good there. What I want to see was anaconic
because this thing has not been reviewed. Well, okay, you
know what what forty three that's better than I thought?
Was forty three million dollars or forty three million opening
worldwide week? And I just said a bunch of fucking
words there. That was. That's what it's at right now.
Now that's opening, that's what it's out from Christmas, and
now let's see. I just want to see the budget
that had to be cheaper by I guessing to know
Paul Run and Jack Black. I'll never watch this, I
won't say now. I have no intentions. Okay, so this
is very similar to the Housemaid situation, where it had
a budget of forty five So what it's advertising marketing
probably seventy to forty in there, So yeah, same thing.
We'll see how it does and how it continues to
play in the next few weeks. I feel like the
sweety one plays a bit better as like a you know,
counter programming marketing. But at the same time, there's not
like a this rate. There's not like a rate of
arc comedy out there, right, so that could kind of
still get some chuckles around there. So yeah, we'll see.
So yeah, it was an interesting box office. Nonetheless, it's
always interesting to see what's gonna happen during the Christmas one.
But uh, and finally, not much to say here because
I should have saved some of my thoughts at the
opening there. But uh, stranger things man, what a pushback, right,
It's been very interesting. Let me check my film make
sure there's no big breaking stories or anything like that. Okay,
there we go, We're fine there. Yeah, it's I said
in my opening, and we're not gonna get into massive spoils.
I'm sure many people see it might be a few
minor things, right. Uh, the trailer for the last episodes
drop no more, I'm not gonna watch. I didn't watch
the trailer for the volume whatever. I'm two days away
and see in theaters still excited, right, I still prefer
to see most as I said before these episodes where
I was underwhelmed by them, but I'm still liking them.
I still think there's some great moments. So as long
as the finale can be that, I'll be happy to
see it on the big screen, you know, see where
them only gets a popcorn. Always good time. Always prefer
see things unless it's brutal at the box office. I
said that I was underwhelmed and I can see some negatives,
but I, for myself also said I don't see it
being like Game of Throne season eight level bad. Well boy,
was I wrong. Not for myself, my opinion hasn't changed
other than there was one thing that Oh, that's why
I like the discord. I had a problem with what
was called the Will scene. Right. My biggest problem with
the Will scene was still where it was placed and
the pacing of and the timing of it. That was
my biggest problem with it. I had other problems with it,
and luckily that's why I love join our discord down below.
I had an issue where it we're like, well, it's
weird that this character feels this way about it. When
X Y and Z right, But people pointing out, well,
not the whole group knows this information so or we don't.
They don't overtly know that information, like I said, because
there's some things with I'll say with the Robmcarreac that
you could kind of like you could fucking figure out,
especially like right now, but again obviously world enning situation.
But people point out, hey, the whole group might not
or doesn't know that. I was like, Okay, that helps
me with that scene a bit more, and I would
redact that. I will my Stranger Things finale review, I'll
bring that up and saying, oh, that plays a little
bit better. But I still think the scene's perfectly written,
and I don't think the timing and placement of it
is great. I think there's some you could just change
the ordering of some things. We talk about all the
time with wrestling, the match order, right, Sometimes you put
one match here, PHO put another match here for whatever reason,
might not work. Dead crowd spot's been done before. Just
the pacing of it. Maybe it's two weapons matches back
to back. You never know, right, So that's what i'd
say because that scene. I still like the scene overall,
and I think it's still a important scene. I think
there's some things that people don't get about it, but
that scene is being memed to big time. Right. It
is the scene where and I guess maybe bowo if
you haven't seen seen that or heard about it. But
the biggest mean I've seen populay around is it's like
a white page and it's a movie. And I've seen
like Spider Man, Loitherings, Harry Potter. It's like the finale
we got and all these epic moments, and then it's
like stranger things of the finale we got ends a
bunch of characters saying that they're gay. Right now, I'm
not a Fandom'm not like, oh you're making no I
get why people mean, because I even said to Emily
when the scene was haming, like is he really gonna
stop people while you know this happening to tell when
he's gay? And I get it, people might die. You
want to get that off your chest? Just put it
earlier in the episode episode before. It was just even
the placing of it. And again there's other issues I
had with it, but still that has become and it's
not even the finale, right, that's not the last thing.
But it is like Game of Thrones where it is
getting bad reviews, it is getting the memes you never
you never want the memes. You know there's gonna be
some bad memes. This to me is definitely the like,
boy does this suck meme? Hey. So I did not
feel like it was the final season Game of Thrones level,
but it feels like it's it's getting that treatment. So
and maybe that's where I will be because there were
people in Game of Thrones. I was there. I was like,
this is other than some great episodes. And again it's
not when you compare a Game Thrones season A to
other TV. It still suppered a lot of other TV.
It just wasn't the quality of the other ones, right,
and it was the big ending. That's how I feel
like with this. But with that, I was more negative.
And I know there was defenders. I feel like I'm
not a defender of just not somebody that's like, oh
this is really bad. But again the Brondra of the
ga I talked to my sister, She's like, oh, this
is awful, like because she's like, why are you seeing
in theaters? Oh? Well, you know, I explained, like I
did like seeing stuff in theaters. I'm a theater junkie,
where not many people my family are. And she's like, oh,
it's just gonna suck. I'm like, well, I don't know that.
I think they'll bring the finamenal, like, oh, I just
haven't liked the seat, Like that's where I were talking
to her, and I already feel that momentum with other people.
You know, the bike is going down the hill and
that's not good. Now is it still gonna pull those numbers? Yes,
we love to see what it does for the legacy
of the show, because that always sucks. I still hope
they can make it a because I rewatched Game Thrones
last year and it was still phenomenal. That last season
it's like, h this does suck, But when you rewatch
it all together, it's like, well, they're still amazing incredible
stuff along the way, and now that you know the ending,
it's like, all right, it is what it is, but
I can appreciate this now, right. I hope that's not that.
I hope it's like, hey, the final season had some
questionable stuff, but it still ended in a hell yeah,
two thumbs up sort away brought at home right, Like
I said that game some people don't like that first act,
but then act two and act three they love right,
So it's like, yeah, we landed a plane, big win,
We're all safe. But I was surprised by the memes.
I was surprised, not like I think the verocity of
the memes and how more they are like And I
don't think they are mean spirited. I'm sure there are some,
but I think it's more just like they're making that
almost a joke, right. And that's the thing where like
the act not a meme, Joe, like the actual act
of it is like making fun of someone being gay
or coming out right. I think there is some of that,
not all of it, but I think unfortunately kind of
gets put together right. And that's the thing where I
think a lot of people have some of us with
John in our discord, where it's just like I do
think a lot of people don't understand that show does
take place in the eighties and that was a big deal. Again,
I think just how they did it didn't make it
feel like the biggest dealer, felt like it was out
of place. But if you admitted you were game a's
sometimes that could be a fucking death sentence. Depend where
you live, right, it's a big deal. So I think
the problem with I think majority of it is not
that it is that Will's gay. I think it's just
how it was done. But it kind of gets all
put together, and then you got things that, like Espob
says on we were talking about IMDb and Rown Domatoes
lowest rated episodes, and there's review bong of course, like
fucking like losers and just awful people that like don't
like gay people like, oh, they're bringing this woke gay
stuff into my show. As I've said before, please don't
listen this. I don't need your money. I'm fine. Who
are doing podcasts? It is not the podcast for you.
So you got those, you got Espob's brought my attention.
Didn't know this about a big ship community of Will
and Mike which never thought was gonna happen like I did,
Like I like, like, I don't know. It feels like
eleven and Mike has been the love story the whole time,
and it's Mike has ever been like heard that information
like oh maybe I've not thought about this, right, Like
felt pretty clear, I think to me and the rest
of us. Right, So there's always that, and then there
is the review bomb or just people natively not liking, right.
And I think the last thing I'll say before we
ran up here because so many emits I got here.
I got about eight mins here. I think the one
thing that is that hurts it, right is it's different
when you make something great and it's like, all this
was great, but there's this thing, right. I don't think
this is an app comparison, right, but let's say like
the Force Awakens. That's so many opinions have changed over
time because the trilogy is that. But I remember the
time when Force Wakens came up. For the most part,
I think it was asis. People had maybe a little
oh nippeck here there a character beat, the myster this that,
But I feel like the only big thing was, oh
it's great, I love these new characters. Looks beautiful. JJ
did it again? All these mysteries? Star Wars back baby.
I just wish they didn't do another Death Star. And
that was the common complaint, right about the main thing, right,
And I think that's much better when it's like something's
pretty well liked to love but we all agree like, ah,
that sucked, right, you know, like that was that's the
thing that left it from being a ten. Same thing.
That's why can't give forced wagons a ten? Right. There's
many other things too, but it's just like that's why
there's one big thing where it's like, yeah, it's just
kind of too much of a redux a rehash, right
with Game of Thrones and then with this. That's the
issue I find that it's not there are the big issues, right,
the Danny stuff, the Whale stuff, but when it's people
are having different issues with multitude of storylines, with Holly storyline,
with Mac's storyline, with Jonathan and uh, which was good.
I finally met another person like Emily that felt the
same way about the storyline. I still not met any
people I love the meme that are the the yeah
the meme or tweet that I shared in the discord
of all these people went through this, why they acting
like that? Like to me, kudos to uh you Kyle Goldface,
and kudos to Emily and other people that saw it
that way you got with the are going for. I
still think it's poorly written and I don't think it
works that way in my opinion, But that's the thing
where and the Will stuff and with the eleven stuff.
There's there's multiple and I don't think it's like in
a good way. I think there's multiple things people are
having issues with, and it's a different fastitude of oh
I like this, well I don't like this. I like this,
I like And obviously sometimes that's good, right because I
feel like Last Jed is like that, and you could
argue that makes a better movie as far as people.
It's like a piece of art where people look at
it a different way. Is it good for the brand
and Star Wars? I don't know, and that's a question mark, right,
But and that's where Last Jed I still enjoy I
still like a lot of there's some top tier Star
Wars in there, right, But that's the movie that same
thing as BVS. There's just so many different angles and
stuff with it, right, and that really shadows fan base.
The luck that they have is that they're ending. I
guess I kind of forgot the Duffers said we're doing
a spinoff with a new location near this. I don't know.
Because Game of Thrones, I was not interested in spinoff
because I did not like the ending of that show.
But I I thought that was more app because you've
got different decades, different families, the stranger things. I think
that's tougher because all the people love the characters. And
then if this season sucks for a lot of people,
that's tough. And for me, it's like, well, it's a
different character, different actors, different place, whole different story. For me,
everything that's happened in the show, it feels very secluded
to Hawkins and these characters and Papa doing the experiments
and it's like, oh, well, you know, and you London,
UK and they were also doing this here. It's like
all right, like that, this story feels the animates like
prequel spinoff. Sure, that's fine, give us more stories. I
don't know how much I feel I'm gonna be there,
but for sure, give it a shot, a spin off
with a new character to do world like I don't know,
like and it just feels like the same thing. What
could the spinoff be? Where and Dare and Hawkins they
like close off this loop like we did it and
our characters are happy, and then like somewhere else is happening.
It's like no, I kind of want to lemn and
the crew to end this, you know, And then I know,
if I want a prequel don't get it wrong. I
could give it a shot. I'd have to see what
the pitches, the trailer, what the deffer is doing. Sure,
because overall Stranger Things has been fantastic, right and without Dragon,
I had no interest, and I end up loving that
show for the most part. Obviously there's some you know,
down points, but I was surprised by an on board.
So I'm not saying it can't happen. It's just I
don't know all your adventures spin offs, no, no, same characters,
you know, but same thing. I don't want that where
it's like, yeah, we do season one, that's a yay.
Dustin's here, He's like, yeah, I don't know. So that
that's where if this show has an iffy end doesn't
impact it impacts the show's lacy, of course, but it's
not like the mcor Star Wars, where it's a living,
breathing well, we gotta tell more stories and continue. But
when I heard about the spinoff, I was like, well,
I guess that could kind of affect that, right, So
we'll see. But and there was another thing too, where
I saw like, this is the lowest rate episode and
they compare that to the Dragon's finale or the Grim finale.
The thing I learned is that the Fly Breaking Bads
to Fly on IMDb is the lowest rate episode of eight,
which one shows out. You know to me, still Gray
Shoal of all time, your lowest rate episodes, eight out
of ten. A fucking creator would kill for a raining
like that. Yeah, my lowest episode out of fifty episodes
or whatever multiple seasons in eight. Yeah, but I didn't
know the Fly. I get it. It made sense because
I get why you go appep because he is like, that's
a weird episode, but like, I get it, but again
shows the like gravitas of that show, right, But yeah,
we'll see, So, as I said, I will. I think
if things line up, I'm going to try and do
a news Travis told you for the Wednesday leven ampsc
if something changed all announced on Patreon, and then I'm
going to do a Stranger Things review that should be
up the next day for the finale. Our fall reviews
me and Dylan are gonna do next week. We're gonna
do two, three, and four all together, just because I'm
sorry that I'm sure it's gonna hurt our numbers too.
As far as missing some episodes, but just holidays. He's
been traveling, I've had family, so it's just been tough.
I haven't even watched it. It's been tough, and it
sounds like it's bad to watch it. Sounds like episode
two is kind of a a downer, but in a
quality way. But yeah, so I'll be back. So we
get two Dosa traves told you yeah coming up, and
then the next couple of weeks, next week, the fifth,
we're fucking back, and then the gimmick is gonna be
this weekend. It's gonna be the fourth right now, Tana
m pst. It's gonna be myself at SBUs for the
full show. Maybe Dave, we'll see. But we're gonna review
World's end, We're gonna review mixing predictions for Raw, We're
gonna do our year end awards, and then eventual will
start getting a gimmick or gmo going probably plans for that,
maybe the eleventh or something. And then but the fifth
we're back. It's the people's I think one of their
fair times that you're here at geek first, because I
feel like a lot of creators or a lot of
people take times off and they just do their best
of lists. No, we got some of our best fucking content.
We got the movie previ you got the video game preview,
and then we got the fucking drafts. We got Marvel Draft,
we got the movie draft, we got the video game draft,
we got the Golden Geeks nominations. That's sounds of fun time.
So some of our best content gets recorded January. So
January fifth is when the crew kind of gets back together.
Austy Taylor is gonna be gone for a couple of
weeks because they've not had their baby yet. I will
not announce with anything about that until they do. But
they've not had their baby yet. Everyone's all good and safe.
But Terror will be gone for a couple of weeks.
I think he's gonna make appearance for on the draft
so we can be in there and get his numbers down.
But it's gonna be me and the GV three there
and I can't remember do we have a name? We
did a whole cast about this about our team names.
What was there? We were the q TEA Boys. Okay,
because we shared Tarantino, Sure we decide on that. But yeah,
the fifth is when we're back in new live content
