Speaker 1: And we are back.
Speaker 2: So what Uh, who wants to take it away? You can?
Speaker 1: We can just the classic like round off sound off
on trailers.
Speaker 2: Round off and the sound off. Can I round it
and sound it with? I just got some questions about
Sonic and what the hell's going on here. I've not
seen either of these movies. I don't play these games.
I don't know what the heck is going on. But
I watched this trailer and I was so just shocked
at everything I was seeing here. Uh, it's talking about Eggman,
Like is Eggman in the first two movies? Is he
trying to destroy the Earth? Because I was kind of
surprised at the scale of this where he's at the
point now where he's looking to just blow up earth.
It seems like I thought he was just like a hooligan,
you know, who kind of like pranks people and stuff.
But I guess I'm surprised to see him this strong.
Is this what he's doing in the first two movies?
What's going on?
Speaker 3: I've seen both these movies. I'm having a hard time
remembering exactly what his motivation is both the movies. I
feel like he's just obsessed with like the power of
like what Sonic is, so like he wants the rings.
I can't even remember if the Chaos Emerald is in
this property.
Speaker 1: It was in the second movie came in.
Speaker 3: Okay, there you go, and then there's Knuckles in there,
which is just a fever t show. Yeah, I do
not remember that at all, other than some bowling sequences. Robert, Oh, I.
Speaker 2: Remember the bowling stuff in the show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I I honestly forgot. We even did a review
of that, Taylor. That was a that was definitely a
great listen. Thanks for listening. But uh, yeah, no, I
I definitely, especially like in the Games, I kind of
always saw him as almost like a doctor Evil type
villain where he just like I'm going to destroy the
world unless you give me all this money and like
power and stuff like that. So I I just kind
of put him in that box, like that's kind of
just who he is. He's just the guy who's trying
to destroy the world. So yeah, but I I can't
really give you a nice sellient. I mean, clearly, I'm
having a hard time remembering these other movies. I haven't
seen them in a little bit.
Speaker 2: Now, how about like his brother Eggman's got a brother
in this is that cannon?
Speaker 1: Is that always a thing grandfather.
Speaker 3: Was?
Speaker 1: No, I believe it's his grandfather, And I'm only saying
that because this how and this is kind of like
some backstory here, some lore. His grandfather was involved with
Shadow the Hedgehog, and Shadow the Hedgehog was manufactured by
some very dark energy that exists, and the government got
afraid of that and wanted to then ax Shadow. But
Shadow had befriended this young girl, which I believe was
egg Man, like Grandpa Eggman's daughter, and she got killed.
The government ended up killing her. That's why Shadow is
such a villain. That's why you've seen the trailer. Shadow
is like befriending with this little girl, and then it
flashes to the tank being like shattered of the glass
being destroyed, and he's kind of upset and pissed. So technically,
in the Lord, the grandfather egg Man was supposed to
have died, and it's I'm not one hundred percent sure
on the rest of it, but the big the baseline is, Okay,
Shadow had a relationship with this girl, and this girl
was in some affiliation or relation with the Eggmn family
or Robotic family, and then she was killed Shadow became
bad hated this, and so that's why he is so evil.
If I had to pick, I feel like the Robotanik
that we know, the young one is not necessarily on
the like destroyed the world kind of a train. I
think he's more like the conquert And I bet you
might I'd be I'd be inclined to say you could
see the two Eggmen kind of going against each other,
and then maybe the Granda Eggman is the one who's
trying to like destroy everything and ruin everything and young
egg Men doesn't really really want that.
Speaker 3: But juicy, that's wild. Those guys read all the novels.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like all my knowledge.
Speaker 3: On the Shadow storyline is what I've gotten from Sonica
Venture to Battle, because you kind of like you kind
of follow that story and all of the Shadow stuff
is kind of through flashbacks and like you see the
sequences between him and the little girl and definitely remember
an older gentleman. So yeah, good good memory there, Taylor
on it being Robotnick's grandfather, Like I couldn't remember what
if it was his uncle or something. Because Eggman like
goes to that secret base, which I don't know. I
would say too much, because I don't know how much
it is like pulled from the game for this story
spoiler wise, But yeah, no, I'm I feel like it
is a lot to unpack, Like Taylor just gave a
good explanation. But I hope that's something that's really digestible
when the movie comes out, because there's gonna be many
people that have no idea what's going on with this stuff.
I mean, clearly, even I was lost. I thought that
was just a clone of egg Man or something.
Speaker 1: But yeah, well, let's not forget the legendary quote by
Jim Carrey in twenty twenty two, you'd only act in
another movie if it was and I quote a script
that's written in gold inc And here he is Sonic three.
So they probably wrote it in gold ink and served
it up to him.
Speaker 3: So there you and he had to do it because
it couldn't double back.
Speaker 2: It's a Christmas miracle. There's a there's a scene with
Santa in this what's going on there? I have no
is that the actual Santa? Is that like a flashback?
Is that like a dream sequence? Is that just a
funny little gag they put in there to.
Speaker 3: Get feel like Santa is like a real thing. I
don't know, like for sure. I'm just like, that's my prediction.
Speaker 2: Is Eggman like a human from Earth in this world?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, gotcha.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But I don't know why Grandpa egg Man is Santa.
I can't figure that one out.
Speaker 3: It's just the Yeah, hopefully we get that explained. H I.
I personally really like this trailer. I feel like I've
I've been digging all of these trailers just because Shadows
in it. And I'm just such a sucker for Shadow.
I already mentioned Shadow or Sonic Adventure to Battle. I
love that game and like following shadow storyline in that,
and then of course I love the game Shadow of
the Hedgehog, which is kind of a very different storyline.
I don't remember the little girl being in that movie
or sorry, in that game at all. But Shadow is
just such a badass character. I feel like, I because
I just love the character of Sonic, I just naturally
fell in love with like the dark version of him.
It was just a lot more emo, I guess, and
just just more powerful, especially seeing him pop off with
Emeralds and in here seeing him showcase with the I
don't know, the little orb thing that he had which
was like a black hole that he was popping off with.
And I'm just really hoping that there's some good, juicy
clash in between him and Sonic. I think it's guaranteed
to happen, and then I imagine how it goes. As
you know, he ends up being kind of a not
necessarily a good guy at the end, just like an
anti hero because it's kind of what he is in
the Sonic universe, and just kind of a neutral guy.
So I imagine he'll be driving off on his motorcycle
at the end. I don't think he'll die, just because
he is a very popul their character, and I imagine
they'd want to really juice that that Lemon as much
as they can. But yeah, no, overall, and Keanu, of course,
count is fantastic, So yeah, very much looking forward to
this movie.
Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, I'm excited for this movie. I mean, you
see Shadow with like his his gun from the game too,
that's pretty crazy, and just yeah, there's a whole bunch
of fun little things in here, and I can't wait
to see just how it's gonna kind of cap off
our story. Unless we get a Sonic four, I don't know,
but we'll see. We'll see if any other character is
actually appearing here too. On top of shadow, I'd be
stoked if we see some other familiar familiar creatures coming in.
Speaker 3: So yeah, cool, nice.
Speaker 2: Other trailers exist. I could not find this Mickey seventeen trailer.
Gonna be honest with me, neither me neither false. Okay,
we're good. Oh that one from two months ago? Where
are you guys at with we Elio or Eleo? This
Pixar yeah picture.
Speaker 3: I thought it looked cute, like nothing that like just
made my jaw drop, Like, I think it will be
a nice cute adventure. Like the animation a lot reminded
me of Luca. I think it is like the just
the character design reminded me of it, and I really
like Luca. I thought it was a really cute film.
And I don't know, like Pixar is a pretty safe bet.
I've liked pretty much all of all their movies, so
I assume this one will be a funny adventure. But yeah, yeah,
it wasn't. It didn't have that like special sum geniset
qua about it where I'm like, oh, I don't have
to see this reddit theater release. I'll probably see this
at home. But nonetheless it look cute. I'm excited to
see just the different creatures and stuff that he interacts with.
Speaker 2: It almost it's weirdly feels like very small scale for Pixar.
I feel like every Pixar trailer is like all this
crazy bombastic things and characters going into imaginary worlds with
all sorts of wild stuff happening, and obviously gets sucked
up by these aliens and he's hanging out with them.
But I kind of feel like that's the extent of
it so far. And like the second trailer, I was
kind of expecting a bit more juice than the first one,
but it kind of felt like a bit of a
rehash of that first one. So I don't know. Maybe
they'll start dishing out some more closer to its actual release,
because it's still quite a far time way away. But yeah,
it's just not it's not grabbing me for some reason,
so I don't I don't know what it is about it,
but something, something's missing right now.
Speaker 3: It's it really reminded me of Over the Moon. If
if you guys, I don't think you've seen that one.
It's it's on Netflix. It's uh, I don't know, just
similar type of idea of like going into space and
different creatures and stuff, but recommend it. It's really good.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 1: I'm actually really looking forward to this. I watched the
trailer and I was actually really cut off guard and
thought like, this actually seems like a really cute movie.
Or you have this kid who's just kind of feels
out of place, and then finally like aliens answer it
just it gave me like an ET phone home kind
of vibe, and I'm digging it. So this is something
I'm definitely gonna be keeping keeping my eyes and ears
open for when it rolls round in June.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm, okay, How to Change a Dragon. I'm I
really really like this trailer. A big fan of the
series How to Change Your Dragons probably says favorite movie
of all time. She rewatches that movie so many times
in a year. And this looks pretty much like dead
comparison to the to the first film, especially like even
trailer wise, it's funny. We even have like Gerard Butler
back playing the character that he plays in the animated
show like he does the voice of the King, and
like watching the animated show, it's like this, this animated
character looks like Gerard Butler, so it's funny that he's
back here for the live action film. And the little kid,
I think he's gonna I say, he's a little kid.
He's a little bit older than a little kid. He's
maybe just a kid. He's a young man, but old
enough for the predator to kill him. Yeah, especially if
he's carrying that ax. You know the Predator's gonna scan
him put him out of his misery. But no, I
think this actually looks really good. However, I will say
I feel like seeing this trailer, and the trailer looks
really good. Toothless looks really really good. I feel like
all the shots look really good. I feel like, at best,
this movie just won't be as good as the original.
And I kinda feel that for like all of these
live action remakes, obviously, for like a classic like nostalgic remake,
it's it's tough to recapture that magic and just top
what the original would have had. But I feel like
I'm gonna see this and it's gonna be like a
really good version, but I'll still probably like the animated
version more and I'd love to be, you know, fooled
by that and uh turned around. But I just like
I thought that with the Last Avatar, like the Netflix series,
Like I thought the trailers looked really great and like
the show was good, but it's just nowhere near the
levels of what the original is because you're just able
to spend so much more time. That's different because it's
a TV show versus a movie. So maybe this one
will be that much better. But I mean, it's it's
tough to really say for me personally, like negative things
about this trailer, Like everything looks good. The dragons look
really good. So yeah, I'm very much looking forward to
this and this will probably be a nice early movie
theater watch for for Shane and I. We we saw
the last one in theaters together. So yeah, is she
excited for this live? Actually, she really is. She really
liked all the shots of it. I really like the
casting and everything. So yeah, she's as a big How
to Train a Dragon fan, She's that's good.
Speaker 2: I feel like that's the best praise I can get.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, absolutely, Oh man, I am ecstatic for this
this Seeing the trailer, it it felt like there was
just so much passion that was really invested into this,
and I really really like that, and it's it's funny
to think how we went through this time when okay,
books were the spotlight to be adapted into films, and
now it's like, oh, are we hitting the thing where
animated films are now being adapted into live action. I
mean we're getting that with Frozen, We're getting it with
Mauana and so all these other films too. So it's
just kind of funny to be seeing how things or
are going. But this just it looks great. It really
really looks great, and I can't wait. And I'm assuming, well,
this movie could stand on its own as a stand alone.
I'm assuming we were gonna get a trilogy of live
action films for this, because I mean there are three
How to Train Your Dragon movies? Right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, We'll see how it does financially.
Speaker 2: I guess it's all about that money.
Speaker 1: M hm uh. What have we gotten next? For trailers?
We got Dexter Original Sin. How do you feel?
Speaker 3: I I was gonna I felt a weird watch this trailer.
I'm not gonna lie. It just it feels it feels
I don't want to say fan made or something, but
it just feels like like some sort.
Speaker 2: I'll say it feels made.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, it feels fan made. It feels like someone
made a recreation of like their version of Dexter as
like a fun trailer, and then you have like Michael C.
Hall's voice in there as like a narrator at parts,
which just feels like which is taken from the original
Dexter show. And watching this trailer, it didn't really make
me want to watch this. It just made me want
to rewatch Dexter like it was reminded me of like
the early seasons of Dexter. And I I don't know,
like I don't want to shit talk all the casting
or whatnot, but it's just like, man, like I've seen
this already, like like with Michael C. Hall, So I
don't think that's really this trailer was a good trailer,
like selling me on the show because I I don't know,
it just seems like it's in the exact same era
of like when Dexter was going on, like especially like
from the first season, so I know it's a little
bit earlier than that. But like Christian Slater we've already
talked about, like he's in this show, like he's older
then like the original Harry was at the time of
that show. I don't think he really looks like he's older,
but you know, he's a little bit less ringkly.
Speaker 2: It's hard to see him as Harry though. Yeah, no,
I agree, he's like a lot of the other casting
they picked people that's like, Okay, I can believe this,
but that one.
Speaker 3: Batista, like he looks like a young Batista for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, I know.
Speaker 3: It was a weird trailer to watch because it really
just didn't sell me on the show. It mostly just
sold me on I wanted to rewatch Dexter, and I
don't know, hopefully, like I can't. Oh my gosh, what's
the actress's name, the blonde lady, like the new character
that's in there. I guess that's like the one thing
that stood out which seemed different from what the original was.
But for the most part, it just kind of seems
like the same show again. And I don't know, I
like Dexter enough, but yeah, for a trailer, not really
selling me on.
Speaker 1: It, Sarah Michelle Geller, is that what you're thinking of? Yeah, yeah,
like Dexter's mentor kind of that character.
Speaker 3: Maybe not hold on me.
Speaker 2: She was like the blood and.
Speaker 1: Forensics lady, I think, and she was like showing like Dexter, like,
oh the splatter and stuff like that splatter matters.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Daphne from Scooby Doo or not Daphne. Yeah no, Daphne.
Speaker 2: Big crossover, that would be a fitting ish it's over. Yeah,
I I echo everything that Kirkland says. It just feels
my skin crawls a little bit watching this. It just
feels uncanny. I don't like it. And then I the
one thing that really threw me off, And maybe it
was just one line, one delivery, one weird edit, but
it's like when the detective guy you like, pointing up
to the board and he says, starting to look like
a serial killer or project up in here, and just
like the way that line was delivered was so cheesy
and silly. I'm like, what is that gonna be the
tone of this show? It's gonna be like a goofy,
silly Dexter thing. Like the music too like kind of
backs that up, Like I you know, we see like
the seed Dexter with long hair again, but it's like
it's slightly different long hair than before, which is hilarious
to see given how much the Four of Us meme
about that particular thing, but it just it's just odd
and just I don't like it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know where he does Detective. I thought
it would be the they scrubbed it on the internet,
the old the Detective and he's pointing, like that scene
that you mentioned that was just really cheesy. It actually
reminded me of Michael Keaton's like cop character from the
Other Guys, which is again, like a very comedic role
and not really what I would be wanting for this
type of show. I think Dexter has its moments of
being kind of comedic, but that's definitely not the main
you know, like it is still a very serious show
for the most part.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I've been apprehensive about this, but to be honest,
this trailer made me kind of want to start actually
watching the show. I feel like, no, no, no, this
this new one is part of me feels like this
is going to be a show that I'm thinking too
much of, like Penguin, but I feel like, Okay, this
show is going to come out and I'm gonna watch it,
and I'm thinking, oh man, this is actually a lot
better than my thought. And I think there's gonna be
just with the narrations of Dexter and everything like that,
it's just gonna really kind of pull pull me in
a little bit. So I'm apprehensive and I just need,
I think I need to see like the first or
second episode and really get my feelers in there for
what this show is going to be. Like, I think
the way that this trailer started off and Travis was
raving about it in the discord go check out our discords,
but he was talking about how he like he knew
this is going to segue into that resurrection series that
they've announced as well, where Okay, Dexter lives, and that's
how the trailer starts, where he's in the snow and
they're trying they get him to the hospital. They're trying
to bring him back, and it's like, oh, your life
flashes before your eyes, and so we get this this
young Dexter, original Sin show. So there just seems like
there's a lot of things in here, and even that
young Masuka where he laughed that, oh my god, that
Masuka is just he's a character that really just cracks
me up in the original show. So seeing him here
is just that's that's something else and yeah, young Batista
and LaGuerta like all these different like characters that are
like young and they're starting off in these different narratives
for their their.
Speaker 3: Characters, Like what's up Doak saying?
Speaker 1: I didn't remember seeing him in the trailer, but I
bet there was he I can't remember.
Speaker 3: I feel he's like a powerful presence on screen, and
I didn't feel that through the tree.
Speaker 2: I think it was just Doakes, but the actors like
not as.
Speaker 1: I think he was wearing glasses or something at one
quick scene actually.
Speaker 2: Before he got a jacked.
Speaker 3: He's like a little little nerdy I ta surprise.
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I I'm definitely getting excited. I'm apprehensive, but
I'm excited.
Speaker 3: I wish I could be there with the optimism. I
like that, but not there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I I think that does it. If it's
unless there's anything else you guys have you want to
slide in there, But I think we can close this
episode out.
Speaker 2: No, I'm I'm already slither out of here.
Speaker 1: Well, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for tuning into this
episode of Geeker's podcast. We'll be back sometime next week
with some other fancy new content. So yeah, stay tuned
to the feet kids, and uh yeah, we'll see you
in the search bar.
Speaker 3: Bye bye,
