Speaker 1: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome back to another episode of
Geek First podcast, your weekly Yeek, I am the Life
finds Away Taylor Field that I am joined by.
Speaker 2: I am the Lord of d Dylan Muss.
Speaker 1: I love it. Uh yeah, we're here because yeah, it's
weekly geek time, and we got some news topics to
share with you guys and discuss, and then we've got
some what we've been watching and then some movie trailers
to break down. So it's gonna be a pretty good
episode this evening or morning wherever you are. Uh yeah,
So I get the new format. It screws me up
because I always just want to get right into like
the plugs, the patre and all that. But we do that.
I think the general consensus to do that at the.
Speaker 2: First Advertaine, right, it's whatever you're feeling on the given day.
But I like to do the plugs later on because
then you know, we get people. We got to sucker
them in first. We don't want to shy anyone away
because they're like, oh my god, AD's already Deez, Louise.
Speaker 1: That's right. I like that. I can I can stand
by that.
Speaker 2: Cool.
Speaker 1: Then let's let's just get into the what we've been watching.
What's what's been gracing your monitors lately, Dylan.
Speaker 2: My monitors not a lot, to be honest. I've been
watching The Traders. I've kind of got into that show recently.
This season has been okay, it's actually done on Thursday,
I think. So have you ever seen The Traders?
Speaker 1: Actually? Yes, that was one of the many shows that
we started to binge for. We're both on print to leave.
Speaker 2: Oh nice. So I don't know what season are you watching.
Have you watched the US Canadian or which one? Oh,
they also have a UK one. They'd probably have like
an Australia one or something crazy.
Speaker 1: And do they all have different hosts? Because I can
tell you.
Speaker 2: Yes, the host is allen coming for the US one.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, that's the one we've been watching.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, have you been watching the new season then
that's airing currently.
Speaker 1: The one we just watched, it's not airin currently because
we saw how it ended and the Traders won that.
Speaker 2: Okay, I think, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know the one
you're talking.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so that's good to know that there's another one,
because that's that's exciting because we really enjoyed.
Speaker 2: It yeah, no, it's it's it's a fun show. It's
like the game mechanics of it are kind of janky,
just because like if you do well as a faithful
and you take out traders and like more, just get
put in, which is you know, because they need to
get whatever twelve episodes for a season. So it's it's
a bit silly, to be honest, But uh, I don't know,
it's just it's a fun show. I honestly, I skip
the challenges. I don't really care about that stuff. I'm
just there for like the social strategy of it and
like the voting elements of it, and it's fun. I mean,
I don't know a lot of the people on it,
but every US season has had some Survivor players on
there and some of big Survivor fans. That's always fun
to see. I think there's four the season three this season,
and then you know some other people from various shows.
I don't know many of them. But unfortunately, my favorite,
the person I was most looking forward to, got voted
out like the second episode, so that was a bit
of a bummer. But it has been a fun season.
It's almost done. I feel like, Okay, I don't Actually,
I don't want to spoil anything for people who haven't
caught up yet, but enjoying the sea. It's decent, and
I'm excited because tomorrow's Survivor starts, and it's Survivor fifty.
It's the first returning player season in five years or
something like that, so it's been a long time since
we've had anyone come back. So really, I've just been
on my reality TV grind, Taylor, I don't think I've watched.
The only movie I watched recently was Resident Evil. I
did watch the first one and didn't join on the
retro unfortunately, just because of the day I was having,
I'll put it that way. But that was fun. That
was a good time. I won't relitigate because you guys
did a whole episode on that and then I guess
the only other thing on who the show out And
this was like a month ago now. But I did
see Send Help, which honestly was a bit of a
bummer for me. I was not a big fan of it.
I think I had some good moments. It was very
funny at times. I like the visuals of it, but overall,
I think like the maybe the second half of the
movie I just kind of wasn't vibing with it. I
feel like it was dialing things up and then it
kind of just cut off for a little bit and
then I don't know, ending's fine or whatever, but it
just unfortunately was not my favorite. I think I was
expecting to be a bit more crazy and bombastic, but
still a still a fun time. Don't regret seeing it
in any by any stretch of the imagination, but I
think have I watched anything else, that's pretty much it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like Rachel mcaddam's had a lot of
fun in that role.
Speaker 2: I feel, yeah, she choose up that role another survivor.
There's a good Survivor reference in there calling out season
forty seven with like the most deep cut person from
that season who like, I totally forgot about that when
they said the name, Like, yeah, that was a guy
on the early part of the season. So that that
was fun to see. And all the like cross marketing
they were doing with with the survivor and stuff for
that that was that was cool. I like to see that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, gosh, what what have I been up to? Watch wise?
I feel like a lot of it I'm gonna rehash
from the because we did an in person cast and
we did what we've been watching then, so I'll just
kind of like speed roll through it. So, yeah, I
Send Help was one that I did. I did the
time Machine. That one was really I've seen it before,
but that's just an awesome two thousands adventure. And then
what else did we go through on on my print
to leave? Me? And Madison just did a whole plethora
of baking shows, cooking shows and like the glass blowing
stuff and everything nice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, blown Away such a good show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, blown Away. Yeah, it's just ah when they spent
he spent four hours building something and it breaks like
oh yeah, oh you can't. He can't do anything. I
mean you can try and turn it around, and some.
Speaker 2: Do, some do. Yeah. I remember there was one person
that made like a crystal ball sphere kind of thing
and it kind of shot. I think they intentionally like
dropped it a bit to like give it that shattered look.
I remember, Man, there's one guy in one of those
seasons you probably saw who just like would always end
like an hour or two before the time was up,
and then he just got voted on like the third
episode or something because he just had like some really undercooked,
like hitty piece of glasses, Like, dude, do it so
much time to you know, jug this up a little bit.
But he was just so so cocky. I guess. Yeah,
it's it's a very fun show. It's so cool to
see and just that that art to that craft.
Speaker 1: Oh for sure. Those are those kind of shows where
you have time limits. You don't finish early. That's not
the goal. You need to use every second, like do
extra stuff, just look busy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny like those shows always edited even if
you aren't right down to the wire, they always edit
it that like you finished making the meal within the
last like two seconds. Oh yeah, but with that guy,
they couldn't even fake it. It's like the guy he
leaves the studio, everyone else is still there and he's
out having a smoke or something outside.
Speaker 1: So that's right, silly, that's right. What else did we do?
We did Jury Duty because we found out that season
two is coming out again or two is coming out. Yeah,
we rewatched Jury Duty and well we're on our vacation.
We put it on again again for our family that
we were staying with because they were enjoying it too.
When we're watching it, so it was just we're just
soaking it in and yeah, Resident Evil, we watched what
else was there? The big thing that we've kind of
been going through. I guess nine of the Seven Kingdoms.
You can check at me and Krikland's review of that.
But Canada Shore and this is just brain rot, horrible
garbage TV.
Speaker 2: But her Snooky made an appearance.
Speaker 1: Snookies made in appearance.
Speaker 2: That's right, it's she looking like these days? Is she
just melting away with all the presumed plastics.
Speaker 1: All the plastic surgery is hiding all the melting points.
She just keeps keeps stacking it on there. I don't
I think, you know, she looks pretty okay. Actually I
don't know how old she is, but Snookie's looking pretty
pretty good. The show being in our hometown or not,
I guess hometown. The town where we are based is weird.
Home of the Home of the Pods and seeing where
they're out in the belt running around and like the
one last episode got like they went to the place
next door to where I used to live on the farm,
and it was just this.
Speaker 2: Is that's really weird.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just some crazy shenanigans and the things that
they're freaking out about and all this drama and stuff. Oh,
it's just as garb which TV. Madison puts it on
and she knows it's garbage TV. But it's just the
fact that it's home with a pod. It's just makes
it very interesting. Polished garbage, polished garbage. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like one of those blown away people who
like takes this shattered piece of glass and turned it
into art, you know exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they finished way too soon before the timer ends.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: What else have I watched? Though? I feel like that's
pretty much been it. I mean, I've been doing my
Punisher season two, watched to getting ready for the review
for that, and I guess yeah, we've been doing the
Punisher retro that's kickstarted as well. Other than that, I
feel like I got a few things that's on my
roster that I want to get through, that I want
to watch, and I just I haven't been able to
kind of jump over to it and get underway. But
I do feel like I made a good dent. Well,
I was on my print to leave nice. The big
thing was Landman. I was so stoked I got to
just binge through Landman season one and two that was
that show. It's just like Chef's Kiss that was wonderful,
absolutely wonderful. But yeah, it's pretty much it well.
Speaker 2: And then you also watched a particular YouTube video. Oh yeah,
can I set this up? So one of my favorite
bands the last couple of years is this band called
the Wolves of Glendale and they're kind of like a
comedy rock band. They kind of switch up the genre
and they've done this series of videos recently called Iron Songwriter,
which I don't know if that's like a greater thing
that's happening on like TikTok or something, or if they
invented this, but essentially they give themselves YouTube video, they
give themselves one hour to write a song and then
you know, whatever, whatever song they come up with, they
have to record that and then like they just have
to drop it on streaming service now how no matter
how good or bad it is. And so what they've
done for these Iron Songwriters is they've taken the lines
in the song. All the dialogue has to be from
the first one they did was Shrek, and then they
did b Movie, and then the third one they did,
which I sent to Taylor, was Jurassic Park and for
the Jurassic Park one, What they did? Did you watch
the making of or just the song? So I watched
a bit of the making one, but I watched the
whole song. Yeah, so the start of the what they
did this time, which I didn't do with the other two,
was they also randomized the genre, so they had like
fifteen different musical genres that the song could have been,
and so they rolled the country using only Jurassic Park songs.
It's like they have like one other country song that
they've that they've released before. But the fact that they're
just like able to perfectly mimic these genres in like
a really authentic way, it's so impressive. But yeah, what
did What did you think of the Jurassic Park song?
Was there any particular lines or moments that stood out
to you?
Speaker 1: The first thing was just yeah, it was country. I
was like, this is this is not where I was
thinking this is gonna go. That was weird. And what's
even weirder is that it works. It works so well
with like the lines that they I hate.
Speaker 2: I'm not a country guy, but I've listened to this
song like twenty times.
Speaker 1: Is it on Spotify or is just on YouTube?
Speaker 2: Is on Spotify.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I might have to add it to Uh,
I'm gonna have to add it to my my playlist.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the one guy who like starts the song
out like I mean, all of them are really good
at singing different styles to like fit the different genres
they're doing. But the way he does like this just
deep gravelly country voice that he does not sound like
that normally when he's singing like genuinely, but he like,
you know, just God or like the part of the
beginning is he does that so well. And I love
the Dodgson section, Dogs and Dodge. We've got a Dodge
in here that has been stuck in my head for
a while, like since the video came out. It's so fun.
So shuts the Wolves of Glendale. They're they're they're crushing
it right now.
Speaker 1: No I I I'm in tie in with the Dodgson is, Like,
how did they go? It was Live finds Away, Life
finds Like, Yeah, Live finds Away, Live finds Away. Nice
hat Welcome to.
Speaker 2: Yeah it's a little nice hat in there. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, that cracked me up. I think that when
you kind of see like them kind of geting all
the lines like razor on the middle toe, like got
it open. It's just it's it's it's really funny.
Speaker 2: Do you think it's so u clever girl that has
won Big Pile?
Speaker 1: So good?
Speaker 2: Oh, they're the best. They're so good.
Speaker 1: And they only took an hour. That's very impressive, super impressive.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, the recording of it, like they
obviously take more time to like actually record the finished
version that goes.
Speaker 1: Out master and stuff and stuff.
Speaker 2: But yeah, in terms of actually writing the song, like then,
they don't change anything afterwards, which is really impressive. They're
they're super good.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Yeah, No, I like that. I'm glad you
send that to me. I'm gonna have to send it
to Madison so she can.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and definitely check out the Shrek and b movie
ones as well.
Speaker 1: We gotta check those out too. Yeah, the Shrek one
has me interests.
Speaker 2: They're both really good songs, really good.
Speaker 1: Cool. Uh, well, I guess we should sally forth into
our better our big topic here. Yeah, and this is
this is a very interesting one. Of course, it's superhero related.
And you know Hunter Age in the chat. You will
get to your question soon because you're definitely you're ready
for it, You're ready for this discussion here. But it
is officially Sony is rebooting the Sony Marvel Verse. They're
basically planning out phase one of the reboot. So how
do you feel about this, Dylan? Like, where do you
think you start with doing a reboot for all these movies?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's it's funny. We'll see how rebooty
it feels or whether it just feels like more of
the same. I like, I assume the reboot reboot parts
of it mean that we're like sunsetting Tom Hardy and like,
you know, none of the other characters were really gonna
come back anyway, because all those movies tanked, like Tom
Hardy's Venom were the only ones that had any sort
of like cultural splash and like actually, you know, did
a dent at the box office. So yeah, we'll see.
But even like when I was reading a couple of
articles with like the guy who was announcing it, it's
not like he was like, we have the big grand
idea to reboot and here's our sixth movie plan. The
interviewer was just like, so, like, it sounds like you're
maybe doing like a reboot, and he's like, yeah, like
that was it was. It was very understated, I guess,
So we'll see. I don't even know if they have
the wheels under them on this, they might just be
kind of ride and free, so we'll see what happens there.
But I mean, I think that the if I was them,
what I would be thinking about is Okay, Venom did well,
you know, pretty iconic character. You got Tom Hardy in there.
Like those movies, even if they aren't great movies, necessarily
they at least connected with an audience. A lot of
that was like overseas and stuff too, right, So it's
a bit different than like what you might expect. But
I feel like the main note that they would probably
have from this is like, oh yeah, people aren't interested
in a Spider Man movie that doesn't have Spider Man.
Who would have thought? Taylor, who would have thought? And
so you know, Venom is like a very Spider Many character,
very tangentially close, whereas something like Madam Webb or Crave
in Morebius feels like much more on the outside. And
you have to you have to be kind of a
big enough Spider Man fan to at least know who
Madame Webb and all the other one. Morebs are like,
but I feel like a lot of people know who
Craven is, maybe but not necessarily obviously enough to want
to go see a movie. So I feel like if
their plans don't include using Spider Man characters, now, it
doesn't have to be Peter Parker. It could be Miles,
It could be a Gwen, It could be a Penny Parker,
it could be some other crazy thing. It could be
you know, Nickka, just Spiderman, no water on the big screen.
But I feel like that has to be part of
the plan or else I feel like it's just gonna
fail again.
Speaker 1: I would agree. I would agree. You know, you can't
just out out the gate, just drop like a Madame
Webb reboot or anything like that. It's just that's sour
tastes in the mouth. I think you need to do something,
Like you said, people want Spider Man. You need to
do something with Spider Man Spider Verse. You know, they
didn't just put one Spider Man in there. They put
several variant under there, so hundreds. Yeah, So I mean,
and that's kind of what really did it for. Sorry,
can you hear that noise in the background?
Speaker 2: I hear no noise in the background.
Speaker 1: Okay, thank god, because Madison is just blasting her hair dryer,
hair blown right now. Yes, So yeah, no, when you're
trying to map this out, yeah, you I thought there
was a point in time where focusing on these alternative
characters and kind of flushing them out would have maybe
been the way to go. But that was that was
something that I was saying back in the day for
d C because I felt like, when you have Marvel
already established, and you have Marvel out there with their
Avengers and their main you know, their their spin offs,
their shows, everything, they basically have the monopoly over this
superhero market. And then you've got DC that's kind of
coming around the corner here, and it's like, hey, we
did one movie with Batman or Superman and then we
did a Justice League, you know, our heavy hitters, our
two main characters, and it's like, ah, you know, DC
probably shouldn't be doing something like that necessarily, because how
are you gonna You're trying to compete obviously with the
other superhero Uh, you know the superhero Powerhouse in the
in the in the the house here, and that's that's Marvel.
So Sony is like that little weird, not little weird,
I shouldn't say that, but the little cousin or like
the little brothers who just wants to play the video
game when you unplug the controller and put in his
hand and like let him play, but he's not actually playing. Yeah,
that's that's Sony. Uh So they I thought that maybe
that that that component could apply to them, whereas DC
should focus on these other side characters, which I feel
like they're doing. Now that's what Sony should be doing.
And Sony did that and it sucked. I don't like Morbius.
I don't like you know, Craven the Hunter was Okay,
there's some things, but like I just I don't like
these movies being Marvel affiliated but not adding to the
main story at all. Just I it bothers me. I
feel like this point in time when you know, Disney's
Marvel is incorporating all the other Marvel movies into their
their realm, like X Men and the Toby Maguire Spider Man,
like all these other things like Fantastic Four. The list
goes on and on on, and now you have just
Sony just kind of still doing their own offshoot. I
feel like it just makes sense for them to just
focus more on working with Marvel instead of just lending
the character Spider Man to them like Tom Holland and
letting them run with that. But I think scrap all
the side characters. You're rebooting it. Like you said, you
need to focus on Spider Man. If that's Spider Noar,
that's that's coming out, and that's gonna be kind of
like your your pillar, your foundation, your baseline. There. Hell yeah,
let's hold Nick Cage just sprints with that and delivers
the landing and we can just that's a show though
it's a show. Yes, So I'd be curious to see
if you get Spider Noar popping in the mc you.
Speaker 2: Oh, I could. I could see Nick Cage doing that,
but then you well, maybe notary the MCU, but I
could see him doing that in these new Sony movies.
Speaker 1: New Sony movies. Yes, I was gonna say, if you
were to pop in the MCU, you risk running the
the potential loss of him appearing as ghost Rider. But
considering we had Chris, that feels more less to me
as ghost Rider. Yes, I would say so, but Chris
Evans was both right in the MCU. So I mean
he was both Fantastic four and uh Steve Rogers so
mm hmm yeah.
Speaker 2: And the and sorry, the show a Spider Man animated show.
Speaker 1: Right, No, that's live action.
Speaker 2: Oh my god it is. Okay.
Speaker 1: Did you see a trailer for it? No?
Speaker 2: I did not.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's live action. You go watch in black
and white or in like a century color.
Speaker 2: Cool. I think we can definitely see him on the
big screen.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmmm hmm. Yeah, it's have you seen like any
pictures of it or anything like? No?
Speaker 2: I radio silent on this one, apparently.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Okay, let me just sometimes. I've been known to live
under a rock, just me and my rock.
Speaker 1: I've been there. I've been there. Yeah, let's see what
do we got for a good picture. It's all the
animated shots here.
Speaker 2: Let's I'm telling you it's animated.
Speaker 1: Let's share this screen. So here's Nick Cage as Spider Noir.
I'm stoked. I just love how it looks. Here's another
shot of the costume.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you watch in color or black and white?
Speaker 1: Yes, so this is this is the color. You can
watch the true hue full color. There's a lot of
fake AI.
Speaker 2: Do you think we get a lot of Nick Cage
not actually in the suit for this show.
Speaker 1: I think you do, yeah, because he's he's right here.
I mean you get him like in his p I
private eyed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, okay, kind of uh get up.
Speaker 1: And then yeah, just him doing the web slinging was
super sweet and the trailer nice, that's that's good.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Do you think we'd get that on the big screen,
get a movie or that one hmmm, low budget, low
budget movie.
Speaker 1: I I don't know if you. I don't know if
you would, to be honest. And I think that's mostly
just because Travis is just in the back of my
mind now just kind of throwing it down, not like
hating on it, but just kind of I don't think
he expects great things to come off of this show.
I think it'll just kind of hit a certain a
certain tier, and I think that's going to kind of
be it. And I would like it to do more.
I would like it to do really, really well. But
I don't think it's going to be along the lines
of a Madame Web or anything anything that low. I
think it's got a Spider Man character in here. Well
he's what's his name? He is? Is it? Ben? O'Reilly,
I believe in here is his name?
Speaker 2: Okay, is not the Scarlet Spider guy?
Speaker 1: You well, the Spider Man twenty ninety nine.
Speaker 2: Right, that's Miguel. Isn't that Miguel Miguel.
Speaker 1: That's right Ben Riley. Oh yeah, he wears the blue
the blue thingy, yeah, the blue hoodie.
Speaker 2: So he's in that. He's in that show.
Speaker 1: So Nicole Nicholas Cage will portray a version of Ben
Riley whose Spider.
Speaker 2: No interesting interesting h And.
Speaker 1: Also you reminded me, oh you're minded me reminded me, Oh,
this is some juice here. So there's the villains that
are going to be in Spider Nore as well. Okay, here,
why can't people just put all of them together? Okay,
I think this is kind of it. The photo is
not going to be the most clearest, but you'll kind
of get the message. So, uh, man, I think this
is no. I think it's supposed to be Vulture. I
don't like that it says man Spider. I think it's
supposed to be Vulture. Maybe it is Mad Spider, Electro Sandman,
molten Man. Those are three for sure in there. I
can't remember on this guy, I thought it was I
read Vulture somewhere, but maybe I'm just completely mistaken.
Speaker 2: That's interesting, That's that's some juice that should be fun.
Speaker 1: That don't look like Vulture. That definitely looks like Spider legs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man spikes like Man Spider.
Speaker 1: Yeah, mister negative. So apparently it's just supposed to be
pretty decked out for for the the villains list, which
is pretty cool. I just to get another version of
Sandman that's exciting as well.
Speaker 2: So going back to the movies, then, like, do you
think we do you think we get a Peter Parker
whether that is well, yeah, first of all, do you
think we get a Peter Parker? If yes, is it
one that we've seen before or we getting a new
Peter Parker.
Speaker 1: Uh, we'll get a new one. I don't think you're
gonna see like your Toby or I don't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if we know how the rights
works for all this stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's it's beyond mine my comprehension, but I
will get if there were if they were to do one,
we would get another one. I knew Peter Parker, and
I would probably expect it to be maybe like a
young kid or something like that that's just you know,
thrown in the background or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I hmm. What do I think they'll do?
Would you think they would go Miles Morales or Gwen
Stacey wrote they're pretty popular right now, right m.
Speaker 1: I would love it if they did a Gwen Stacy movie,
would like Spider Gwen. I don't know if it would
do numbers of the box office, but I think that
would be I think it would do really really well.
I'd like to hope it would do really really well.
Miles Morales, that's yes, I would say that I could
see them doing it simply because of the fact that
their Spider Verse trilogy is just so like praise and
people love it. But then we haven't even got part
three yet, so I think that's kind of the hang up.
I think you was scared you'll get something else live
action before we get that Part three, And even then
when Part three comes out, there's probably gonna be a
buffer period before they do anything with Miles Morales again,
I would imagine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's fair. Yeah, I mean I think these
projects will definitely involve one or more of these Spider people.
What about the villains that we've seen thus far, Like,
do we get a new Venom because that was pretty successful?
Do they try it again, new actor, new Venom? Do
we go down that route?
Speaker 1: Well, apparently they're doing a new Venom animated show, and
sure about this, No, a new project, and it's supposed
to have Tom Hardy and connected to it in some way.
That's that's the kind.
Speaker 2: Of the rumor right now that I thought he was
out the door with the you know, I'll never forget you,
buddy kind of moment.
Speaker 1: Thought so too. So this is the Hollywood Reporter. A
Venom animated movie is in the works with the Final
Destination filmmakers. And yes, Tom Hardy is supposedly attached to
it in some shape or form.
Speaker 2: But hm attached to it just like a symbiote is
to Eddie.
Speaker 1: Brow exactly exactly. I don't know. Is that part of
the reboots? Like what's the Tom.
Speaker 2: Hard I mean, I think the shows are kind of
in their own realm. I don't think they're gonna go
full MCU and like connectivity between shows and movies. I
think they'll do their movies which are kind of in
a connected universe probably to some extent, but not with
the shows. I think the shows will be a separate
beast because it sounds like these shows are kind of
already underway, which I mean, I don't know how recently
the reboot of this Sony thing has been happening, for sure,
because it was Craven and Venom twenty twenty four. Where's
the twenty twenty five?
Speaker 1: Was it Craven release date? Wow? Where did the time go?
I feel like we just went to the theater and
saw Craven?
Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty four.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was late in the year though, right, December.
That's yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Venom so about a year ago, and Venom was
earlier that fall.
Speaker 1: That's right, that was October twenty four. That's funny.
Speaker 2: So even those like you know, I assume because even
Venom didn't do as well as the other ones I believe, right,
And then so Craven comes out tanks and then they start, okay,
let's get the reboot working. So I don't know, we'll
see how quickly this takes off, but I would assume
that these shows. I don't know what the leadership situation
is like over there, but I'm gonna assume those shows
are kind of in isolation to each other not not
really related to the movies in any sort of way
in that production pipeline.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say you're pretty spot on with that. Yeah,
but again, I just think these these characters are better
off in a movie with a spider man. I think
that's kind of focus. And then, of course you have
a spider man in Madame web I guess he's he's
considered a spider man, right, whatever, what was his name?
Speaker 2: Well, you have Uncle Ben and uh a baby, a
baby Peter right in Madame Webb.
Speaker 1: That's right, you do have Uncle Ben. But then you've
got the uh Ezekiel Sims.
Speaker 2: Ezekiel Sims forgot about.
Speaker 1: Him, and you got the weird Uh what was this guy?
The spider man in the woods, the Amazon.
Speaker 2: Spider guy, the Amazon Amazonian spiders. Yeah, yeah, I what
do you think about a a Sinister six movie, like
a Thunderboltsy Sinister six kind of movie?
Speaker 1: Mmm? You get like that?
Speaker 2: Would that light up the box office? You got Scorpion,
you got Chameleon, you got who else is in the
Sinister Six?
Speaker 1: Goblin dot Com, Vulture, Vulture. Yeah, are they opening with this?
Speaker 2: What's up?
Speaker 1: Is Sony opening with this? Or they have they released
any like movies to kind of like set this up.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, maybe it's down there, maybe it's the third
or fourth movie or something like that.
Speaker 1: I think I think Sony could not just drop a
hefty meal like this of the of the Sinister Six
on their own. Now, if they were to be like, Okay,
the next mcu film is a Sinistor Six movie, I
think one hundred percent it works.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I guess we kind of had that
a bit already with No Way Home.
Speaker 1: With No Way Home. Yeah, they kind of dabbled in
there a little bit idea, and I think they pushed
for that because they probably had a little bit of
issue trying to get set up to do a Sinister
Six project, just sharing those characters and whatnot. So this
was the next best thing, I imagine. But I wouldn't
let it detract from the fact that you could see
the Sinister Six set up.
Speaker 2: I think that could be a cool movie that could
be fun. I don't know what like they would be
up against or like, because I assume they would all
come together at some point, but maybe maybe not, Maybe
they just fight each other. Let's see classic mcguffin. There's
a rare jewel that they're all trying to get.
Speaker 1: A rare jewel.
Speaker 2: Maybe they're all fighting for an Infinity Stone. Imagine that.
Speaker 1: Now that would be sweet. I'd be down for that.
Speaker 2: I mean, if they're all fighting for the Infinity Stone,
the green one, so they can reverse time and you know,
the lizard can undo his lizardness, Sandman can turn himself
not into sand. You know, Electro lost a kid, so
he can go back and get the kid, you go
back before he fell in the but just time travel. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
like that could be. That's that's an idea.
Speaker 1: I would you know, if they were to go for
an Infinity Stone. I feel like it kind of back
treads a little bit, only in the sense that we've
exited the Infinity saga, but it would have to make sense.
Speaker 2: I don't think Sony cares about ten years down the
road though. I think they are just looking for that
next meal.
Speaker 1: The next meal. Yeah, I would say.
Speaker 2: Like they're there. They don't want the fishing pole, they
want the fish, you know.
Speaker 1: I like that. I like that phrase. Yeah, I would say,
you're right.
Speaker 2: And if it doesn't work, though, it's I can reboot
again in three years, and who really cares because there
is less investment in the first place, that's right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes sense. That's why they're kind of like, hey, Marvel,
here you go, here's Spider Man. You you handle that
side of things. So I'm pretty sure Marvel handles the
Tomahlant Spider Man movie, but Sony handles the marketing, right,
because we got that sounds right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sometimes we get some wacko trailers and it's like,
what is going on? Figy clearly had no hat in
this in this race.
Speaker 1: Here, that's right exactly. H oh yeah. So I guess
the other part here in conjunction with this, because word
on the street from mister Travis Snell, the reboot is
going to be more closely tied with the MCU. So
an example of this black Panther appearing in Civil War
and I like that because I mean the same thing
with Spider Man. He appeared in Civil War too.
Speaker 2: To introduce the character and then you get their own movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like Hawkeye in thour the first Thorm movie. Because
they're subtly.
Speaker 2: There does mc you want to play ball, like what
do they gain from this? What are they gained from
putting Morbius in the next Sunk Shunk Chi movie and then.
Speaker 1: Morbius, I think it like to go back to the
example of Black Panther. So you put Black Panther in
the movie of Civil War because it sets up their
Black Panther movie, and that movie goes on to be
a massive box office success. Right, So what do you
do here with what character? For what project down the line?
Like what are you trying to set yourself up for
down the road? Like that's what I'm trying to think.
Do you do a Norman Osbourne? Do you throw him
into a movie like this? Let's say, yeah, like next
movie is a Sinister six. You just introduced a sinister six. Yes,
you got like six villains in there, but you're really
doing it just to introduce two that you're gonna pull
from the sandbox later on in like single solo projects
or something. I don't know if that makes sense.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think that they're gonna do an
MCU thing, uh or even a DCU thing of like
building up to a Avengers type thing. I don't think.
I don't think they're gonna go that route. I think
they're really just one movie at a time. Again the
fish analogy here, I think they're just gonna go one
at a time, and you know, hope each one pans
out probably very little connectivity, but maybe they're just like,
oh yeah, vultures in this one. He's gonna be in
this one too, And you know, the directors kind of
just are given a project. They work on that one project,
and I don't I don't think there'll be like a
master plan to it all. And I guess I don't
know where that squares into the MCU at large. But
maybe it's you know, as minimal as like technically Tom
Hardy's Bendom appears in the MCU, right, Like, maybe it's
just that level of tiny, little breadcrumb connections. But who
even knows what it's gonna happen in the MCU in
the next few years, like if they go reboot route
or something like that too, right, who knows what's gonna
happen after after Secret Wars, which is probably around the
time that this new uh Sony thing is gonna kick off.
I would think twenty seven is probably when we get
the first one of these new new movies.
Speaker 1: Perhaps that's and that's a big risk. I mean, obviously
if it's the same year, that's fine, But they have
to steer clear away from Secret Wars if they're gonna
be like, Hey, here's our new, our new standalone movie
that's not attached to the MCU, and you've got Secret
Wars this year, and you've got like Toby again, they're
gonna do their own thing, and you're gonna have Toby Maguire,
Spider Man, Wolverine, who Japman's Wolverine and Tom mall and
all teaming up on screen again. And what they're gonna
put out, Yeah, the Spider Noir movie, The Spider Gwen, Sure,
I'm there for it. But everyone's gonna just everyone's gonna
go into this Sony movie anticipating and expecting it to
tie in to the main MCU. And I think for
the most part, people are running into that issue with
the current projects that they've done in the regular MCU.
It's confusing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they need something to get a splash, right because
the after the first Venom know extreme diminishing returns that
they got in terms of just general excitement or even knowledge,
Like I feel like if I went and pulled all
of my friends, I maybe one of them would know
that these other you know, Morbius and Madam web movies
even happened, Like, I feel like, obviously the people in
the geek first realm know all this stuff, but friends
outside that, I don't think anyone knew about these things.
And I think it's just it's it was its own
little realm. So they need to do something to get
that to be more mainstream, I think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, Yeah, better marketing, that's what they need
to work on for sure. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and maybe that is a connection with the MCU,
which you know is admittedly not in its best place either.
I don't know how much they can really just ride
off raw MCU hype, which is I think kind of
where they were at when they first started the current
Sony verse. But times have.
Speaker 1: Changed, Yes, yeah they really. Yeah, you see there's movement
behind me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Spiders crawling on the wall.
Speaker 1: Spiders. Yeah, yeah, I think what uh what else could
you kind of see dropping in like a phase one
reboot of of here, I mean, talk to Spider and
war Sinister six uh, Spider Gwen. I feel like if
you do any of these other villains, it's just it's
not gonna kind of take off. Well, you can't do
the anti heroes, the anti hero Yeah, anti hero because
that's what Venom is, that's what they make Craven to be.
And Madam Webb, it's like, okay, it's how many times
that gimmick gonna go?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Not?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, No, do you think we'll see Tom Hardy
at all? I know you said he's a somehow related
to this animated show. Do you think do you think
they would keep him around in some way? Kind of
like how the DCU like started with like, oh, yeah,
we're gonna reboot, what we're gonna like keep I don't
even remember who they kept, but you know, they kept
some couple of random people. But did that with Tom Hardy,
kept John Cena, kept John Cena? Yeah, Peacemaker.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh my goodness. I could see them keeping him
if he I could see them just keeping him and
giving him a new role. But the fact that they're
keeping him and potentially just keeping him attached to a
Venom project, I don't get it. It's it's weird. It's
the pick and choosing thing of like your reboots instead
of just well, you can do whatever you want. I
guess at the end of the day, they're comic book characters,
but like it's just kind of aggravates me because the
way my brain's gonna work is I'm gonna watch this
animated Venom film and just think, no matter what this
is connected to the three live action Men of movies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Yeah, How hopeful are you for this reboot.
Speaker 1: Of the Phase one Sony films. It's got to be
better than Knock on Wood. It's got to be better
than what's currently been presented to us. And I know
we were talking about how they'll just do one movie
at a time and see how things go. I would
prefer it if they kind of just they met up,
the writers got around the round table and mapped up
a basic story. While each film is kind of central
and kind of its own narrative, they can still kind
of lead to a larger overall storyline with in tandem
with the other films. So yeah, that's just what I hope.
But I am excited because I do think that, like
I said, it's gonna go up from here. And obviously,
if they're choosing to reboot it, that means that they've
learned something. That means that they understand that the numbers
aren't there for their current movies and they have to
change the formula a little bit so or I guess
go back.
Speaker 2: To formula, back to formula, Yeah, yeah, I mean I
think if they if they include Spider people in this
in these Rewo movies, which I think they really need
to check that box, you know, there's the odd one
that could work like it literally Venom might be the
only one that is fine on his own. Even then
we saw the fatigue of that over the course of
just a trilogy. So I think if they get the
Spider people in there, I'm slightly more hopeful than what
we got with this first Sony thing. Bringing me honest,
I have very low expectations for this taking off being
successful and be to be something that we're gonna be
talking about in like five years. I feel like it'll
just kind of wither away again.
Speaker 1: M hmm. Well, let's look at again the other Spider
Man project that they put out getting season two, Your
Friendly Neighborhood Spider Man. That show is just fan frea fantastic, right,
It's good, and I just feel like, Okay, that's again,
it's got Peter Parker, it's got Spider Man in there,
and that's just kind of what brings people around a
Spider Man movie. I feel like is always going to
just kind of draw people in. Of course, the Amazing
Spider Man one and two is kind of its own
little nest egg there, but the other Spider Man movies
of Tom Holland, big money makers of the box office
told meguire, Spider Man like people love those movies, So
there's definitely that sweet spot for Spider Man specifically. So,
like you said, it's just it's if they include that
Spider Man in the movie. I think that's just gonna
be their their secret weapon, their golden egg.
Speaker 2: So the golden goose. Yeah, we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: Cool. Well, I think it's time you jump to our
first ad break, which basicallyentlemen, you can skip if you

you for everything that you do. And we'll be back
after this ad break. And we are back, all right,
So we are going to talk trailers. Uh, what trailer
do you want to start with?
Speaker 2: Their Dylan, let me start off with Over Your Dead Body,
which is a thriller, I guess thriller kind of movie, uh,
directed by Yorma tacone of the Lonely Island Which is
why this caught my attention because I've been very obsessed
with Lonely Island recently. We're listening to some of their
old stuff, listening to their podcast, and on their podcast
they often talk about the movies that they're making, and
like you know, Akiva was the director of Naked Gun,
which came out last year, and they did a whole
episode about Naked Gun, which is really fun to hear
some of the behind the scenes, making up all that
sort of stuff, and so this one. I'm excited to
watch this movie and then like listen to the podcast
episode where Yorm talks about the experience of making it.
So I'm already invested, you know, I'm I'm all in
on the Lonely Island Train right now. It's very It's
the light of my Tuesday. Every Tuesday a new episode
drops of their pod and I'm into it. So, uh yeah,
I don't. Honestly, this trailer didn't zest me up too much.
I think there's an interesting concept there, but it kind
of just felt like it's a lot of the same.
I feel like I didn't really go anywhere. It didn't
like go up to that second gear. But I feel
like that may hope they're just holding back for the
sake of a trailer. So I'm curious about this movie.
I like the cast, and yeah, I feel like this
could be a sleeper hit. So I'm looking forward to
this one.
Speaker 1: Yeah. This, I feel like it's been a while since
I've seen Jason Siegel in anything. It's been a good.
Speaker 2: He's been popping off of shrinking. I feel like that's
where he's been shrinking.
Speaker 1: Years, right, Yes, but yeah, I samaraw Weaving. I feel
like she's kind of popping off lately now too. Well,
just with the two projects. There's this and then there
was Ready or Not Hide and Seek, Yeah or whatever
it is, you got it. I haven't really seen her
in anything else, but yeah, I think there's certain things
in this trailer that I was digging. And it looked
like they were really going for that zany when they're
all fighting and kicking the crap out of each other
and whatnot. But I don't think there was enough juice
there to really kind of put me into a theater seat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe I have to see.
Speaker 1: Like another trailer, and I I was hoping that would
be like a little bit of horror or something in
there too, but it just it throws that comedy in there, like, oh,
you're gonna shoot me.
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 1: I was being considered, I was gonna knock you out first.
You know. There's some there's some stuff in there, But
I don't know if their humor is necessarily riding that
riding my train, my humor train, I guess, but I'm curious.
I like both the actor and actress that's in there,
and you got Timothy Olifonto's in there, which I haven't
seen him since Alien Earth, and I could use a good,
little good redemption because him and that show. I mean,
he's good, but the show I feel like brings him
down a little bit.
Speaker 2: So yeah, m m yeah, Timmy Olifant, he sometimes would
would drop in on the podcast because he was hanging
out in Finland there with yourma, so he would sometimes
pop in and just say hello while they were filming this,
I guess. So yeah, nice Lae.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how about you?
Speaker 2: What's the what's the top of the top of the
scrap heap here?
Speaker 1: I wanna talk about this BODYCM movie. Okay, this reminds
me of a movie called Quarantine back in the day. There.
This is where it gets weird because you have a
movie called Record and you got a movie called Quarantine,
and both of them have sequels Quarantine too and Record too,
but the sequels are very different. But the original Record
and the original Quarantine are almost spot on the same.
Speaker 2: What was that movie we watched with Jake Jillenhall and
the other guy Michael Pania What was that one called?
Didn't we do a retro of that?
Speaker 1: Or no?
Speaker 2: We did it for a Golden Geek flash like the
twenty twelve Golden Geeks. I think, right, what the hell
was that movie called? You know what I'm talking about? Right?
Speaker 1: Gosh, yes, what the hell was it? I gotta try
and google it?
Speaker 2: Here Jake John Hall, let's see body cam end of watch.
There you go, right, that's twenty twelve. Yeah, so we
didn't necessarily review it, but we did. It was part
of the Golden Geeks twenty twelve. Yeah, so this gave
me that vibes for sure. That's yeah, like that, but
a little bit lesser, I feel like was the energy
I had for it.
Speaker 1: This had for me. It was paranorl activity meets yea
quarantine and I mean with quarantine. They go into these
He follows these firemen, this news crew, this guy with
the camera follows these firemen. The firemen responded to a
call first responders. They get to this apartment building and
they go in and then whether when they're in there
for like an hour, they find out, okay, the building
is sealed from the outside. Now like the government is
like quarantine the building. They're trapped in there with some
of the residents because one guy went a wall, and
so they go and they try and like connect with
this guy I went a wall and turns out he's
like a rabid cat, like turn into a zombie thing
with Rabi's running like jumping, like going crazy. He bites people,
they get infected, and you're trapped in this apartment building.
It's terrifying. And so you're dealing with these close up
shots with the camera view and that's just what bodycam has.
Like you literally get a scene that is just legit
just jaw dropping when the woman's like ah the yeah
falls and that was nice, it was nasty. It just
it loses me a little bit. When we get into
the city. I feel like the whole city is demonically
shut down. Yeah, I don't know how I feel about that.
But the stuff that's very claustrophobic and they're walking around
and the tunnels and these things are popping up. I'm
definitely there for that. That stuff on a body cam
it's freaky horror.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I agree, I mean definitely. I had a
little bit of a blurwitch energy to it as well.
And yeah, just some of the creepy look into a
corner and there's a creepy person doing a creepy thing.
There with blood all over their shirt, ands like that works.
That's always good. That's always a little bit a little
bit freaky. You don't know if they're gonna jump at him,
or what's gonna happen if the lights are gonna go out.
Uh So, I feel like it's gonna have a lot
of I think it's gonna be a lot of jump scares.
I'm gonna predict that this has the highest jump scare
ratio of movies this year. That's my prediction. But I
think it'll be fun time I think it. I think
it'll be decent. Like I said, I think to me,
it seems like a little bit lesser in terms of
the drama of the actual like acting caliber that like
an End of Watch is. But it doesn't look like
it's just trying to copy that. It just looks like
it's borrowing a couple ideas and trying to be its
own different thing. So yeah, I like this fun novel concept.
The one thing that I found kind of cheesy is
at one point, the police guy is like having dinner
with his wife and he like still has the body
cam on when they're like sitting there like holding hands,
and it's like you're you're wearing the body cam right now,
still like what's going on part of the Yeah. So
it's like, I feel like a movie like this could
be a little contrived of like, oh yeah, well kind
of we need these other emotional scenes when he's not
strictly being a cop, you know, we gotta build in
that heart and emotion. But it just came off as
a little goofy. But we'll see maybe in the movie
it won't. Actually there'll be a justification. He just got
home from work. He hasn't had time to take everything
off yet. But you think you'd at least like shout
the camera off. You think that hasn't think it was
like battery.
Speaker 1: You know, never go into my house and keep the
body cam going on, because that just feeds to your headquarters,
Like it's just yeah.
Speaker 2: Why would you keep it on exactly? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
body cool.
Speaker 1: But what's your next? One?
Speaker 2: All showed out back rooms next, which you know is
a I don't know where it started. I think it
started as like an internet creepy pasta kind of thing,
and then it became like games and there's I think
multiple of them, which is just creepy liminal space horror
is is I guess the description of back rooms, but
I thought, you know, I mean one when a trailer
starts with eight twenty four, it's like, okay, okay, we're
cooking here. I thought this is a fantastic trailer, just
completely sets the tone of what you expect in something
like this. Just one camera shot going down, it's the
same room, but every time time the room slightly changes
a little bit. I think this is gonna be really cool.
I've not played in these backrooms games. I haven't really
looked into this space, but I know it's like a
big thing. So I feel like, I think this could
maybe blow up a little bit. I think this could
be a phenomenon. It could be like a five Nights thing.
Maybe not quite as big as five Nights, but I
feel like it's, uh, this has potential. I thought the
trailer was excellently edited. So yeah, I'm consider me excited
for this one.
Speaker 1: H Yeah, it's an interesting trailer. And I've seen the
videos of the back room stuff and it's not my
cup of tea. It's just I don't know what the
poll is here, just the fact that it's I don't know,
unknown and it goes on and on and on. You're
trapped in these rooms and you just gotta kind of
find your way out to these back rooms. Like I yeah,
there's some creepy pastas that exist out there that I'm like, Okay,
I can get on board with. This is some freaky stuff.
But the back rooms is more just an ominous thing and.
Speaker 2: You don't find it freaky at all.
Speaker 1: I mean I would definitely find it freaky being in
that situation and being isolated.
Speaker 2: But you're paying on like liminal space stuff in general.
Limital liminal space.
Speaker 1: Yeah, liminal. What does liminal mean?
Speaker 2: That's a good question. How would you describe liminal? I
think it's like empty, lacking detail, kind of grandiose yet
very little detail, Just a kind of big empty space
like I picture the you know in in Inception when
we go to kind of the limbo, and it's just
like all these empty buildings that are all like crumbled.
Like that's a very liminal space. I would say, Okay.
Speaker 1: Then I would say I'm very used to it and
it doesn't freak me out. And I say that because
when I was growing up, my parents used to own
a duplex, and many a time i'd be sitting in
there as a kid for hours in these large spaces
of the house while they're doing renovations, paint the walls
and everything, and so I'd just be sitting there and
I just find ways just kind of like hang out,
just chill past time in these large empty spaces. So
I feel like maybe that's why it doesn't bother me
as much. Uh yeah, I just I don't know. I
don't know. This movie's probably gonna make a killing. I mean,
I feel like a movie like this probably has a
budget of ten thousand dollars. They're gonna make a billion
dollars of the box office or something. And again the
back rooms two, yeah, back rooms or back part three,
something like that. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could see it. Yeah, it's an infinite kind
of thing. I feel like it's mm hmm, I can
see that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I I suppose in the chat there are monsters in
the back rooms at least almost every adaptation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw someone there when I was googling around,
some creepy, uh, creepy beans.
Speaker 1: So I'm down for that. I'm down to see some
of those creepy past of monsters popping off in there.
That's always gonna be a's a good time and that
would make it a little bit more sustenance for me
as opposed to just being these empty rooms just wandering around.
So yeah, if I want to watch the Empty Rooms,
I can go watch a bunch of TikTok videos of it.
So hopefully this movie, yeah, something different.
Speaker 2: Roasted.
Speaker 1: It's a bit of a roast.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, whatever happened to cinema? You know all people
want is TikTok?
Speaker 1: Now all tiktoks?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, what do I want to go to next? I
think the one and only option is going to be
the yetti? Uh? Now, you you did see sasquatched Sunset, right?
I think you have? Yes? Okay, good good good good
goods hurt. The Yetti is completely different from that. We're
going into horror, and it just feels like it's got,
oh an example of what I wanted to say it
would be like, and I can't remember it, but it
just feels like it's got a zaniness to it. When
our hunting party comes together and we're getting under underway here,
and then that zaniness feels like it's dispatched and we're
just getting into something a bit more horrified. And you
don't see the creature in the trailer, which I'm really
thankful for, and I hope that you don't really see
him in the movie either, because just it lets your
mind do the work for you. You know, don't pay
one hundred thousand dollars into the practical effects to try
and make a creature look the way it is with
CGI and put it in front of you on the screen.
Give the impression of this creature, and the mind will
piece it together for you and do the work for free.
And so when you're doing something like the Yetti, I
feel like too many times the costume can easily just
be dismissed once you see it. You can write it
off as being fake and phone and what not. So
especially when you get to the face, I think that's
where they need to just keep this thing in your
peripheral vision in the movie, which it looks like they're doing.
You get the arm coming in at some points, but
it just shows like people getting killed and dying, and
just the howls when the guy's got the headphones on
and he hears the growls in the distance, Like, man,
I'm getting the goosebumps right now. So I just think
that this trailer's got a lot of juice that I'm
really looking forward to, and I think, uh, yeah, we
need more movies like this, We need more bigfoot sasquatch.
Yetty movies. Shout outs to my God exists. Shout outs
to the movie exists. If you're looking for a good
horror movie that's got like it's cam styled, you know
shows like we're talking about body cam. It's cam styled.
But it's so well done. It is a fantastic horror movie.
And it is a really good bigfoot movie. It's freaking freaky.
So I highly recommend that. But yeah, this just seems
like it's gonna be a good time and I'm excited
for it.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, Yeah, I think it looks It looks all right.
The editing was throwing me off a little bit, and
like just the vibe of some of the cutting and
like the weird like static electric like, I don't know,
it seems interesting. So I definitely gotta wait and hear
some some probably your review and others impressions of this
sucker when it when it finally comes out, before I
decide if I'm gonna check it or maybe you'll make
it your Golden Gig must watch. I could see that happening.
It's extremely likely.
Speaker 1: It's possible. I think I'm gonna have to watch for
crypt Clues to review there and do a review for
geek Ris for sure. I'm sure to see if I
can sway Travis over onto it. If you guys are
interested too, maybe like well you just said no.
Speaker 2: I mean if it was streaming, maybe, But I don't
think i'll ventul. I don't think I'll venture out to
a theater for this bad Boy.
Speaker 1: That's fair, that's fair.
Speaker 2: Is this a theater picture or is this a at
home watch?
Speaker 1: Oh? I don't know if it's a I don't know
if I would bring Madison out to see it. I
don't know if it'd be her cup of tea. I
just feel like, rarely am I just running off to
the theater myself alone in these days. I'd have to
take someone. So if Travis, if I can convince Travis,
I'll take Travis to go see it in.
Speaker 2: The pick your work husband, now that's right? Yeah, okay, Uh,
next up for me, I guess would be uh Slanted,
which I think we talked about Slanted in our twenty
twenty six preview because it felt familiar. The concept felt
there when I was watching this trailer here. But yeah,
this concept is essentially there's kind of a girl in
high school Asian Asian woman who wants to be white,
and so first she like dyes her hair blonde to
try and like fit in better with the white people,
and then that doesn't work, and then she gets inducted
into this very Substance esque, creepy company that will turn
you into a white person, I suppose, And then, of course,
just like the Substance, things start going wrong. You know,
parts of your head start falling out and stuff like that.
So do you do you think this movie was in
production before Substance or is this just like seeing Substance
and then being like, Okay, we're gonna We're gonna go
ahead and copy that concept here with a slightly different premise.
Speaker 1: I think they definitely looked at Substance and we're like, hey,
we can run with this. Let's copy it to a
slight degree and see what we can do. Yeah, because
this just reeks of the Substance movie, I feel.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, I mean, it's even in there. It says
like a cross between mean girls in the substance. So
at least in the marketing side of things, they're they're
doing that. Whether that was intense from the creation stage,
I don't know. And unfortunately it does kind of look
like a lesser substance in a way.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: And you know what, I feel like I need a
good five year gap before I can see a substance
like movie again. You know, Like I like that movie
a lot. Is great, but I can only handle so
much of that energy because it's very nasty. It's very like,
very crunchy sounds and stuff like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it takes a lot, it takes a lot
out of you. It's it's it's interesting, and it's something
I do want to see because of just the I
don't know, I don't want to call it messaging, but
I guess the Uh, it's just a story. I guess
that it's cool. Just a story. Yeah, this this girl
who is Asian and just becomes white, and just the fallout,
the fallout of this decision, this action is what I
want to see. But it seems like this is a
world that widely accepts this as an actual procedure that
people can go and do and just change their change
their skin color. Which is just a crazy thing to
just even think about. So and then you start to
decay and whatnot. It's just it's gross and yucky. But
I would like, I do want to see it and see,
as I said, the fallouts of everything.
Speaker 2: M hmmm, what's next on your list? My friends?
Speaker 1: Ooh goodness, me next, I'm gonna say, I'll just say
Toy Story five. I am really excited to see the
toys versus the tablets here, Army of buzz light years,
Woody Balding. I think it's just we're at a movie
now where it's the way I see Toy Story. You
have Toy Story three, which is set up as the comeback,
so all the kids that grew up now like we're
Andy's age or old and Andy, you know, and we
gotta say goodbye to our toys. And that's the send off.
But it's also more than that, because it's all these
people that grew up a Toy Story they're having kids now.
So when you watch this movie, it's like, Okay, do
you see the story is now being made and transitioned
over to that next generation. Hence and enter Toy Story four,
a new generation. This is them being able to jump gyms,
my goodness, jump in too this old, classic, nostalgic franchise
and start to make it their own and really enjoy
these characters. Even my daughter, like, I got a Toys
Story shirt for her and she puts it on and
she loves all the characters on there and whatnot. So
I think that's great. And when I see this trailer,
I think, Okay, are we backpedaling a bit? Because you
got Yes, you got Woody, you got buzz coming in,
and they're feeling a little bit older now. But I
just feel like, are they backpedaling and leaning on that
because they want to jump in with the older demographic
that grew up with these movies and that's what we're
trying to capitalize on and make money off of, rather
than the kids. I feel like they could have focused
on either not doing another one and just leaving four
as is, or if they were to do a proper five,
then they're focusing on I don't know, because I can't
even say that Toy Story is Toy Story because of
what he and Oz.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, what is the connection between
like the the child and the family and Toy Story four?
Or is this is a new family. What's going on?
Speaker 1: Same family?
Speaker 2: Okay, so this is but this is a different family
than the original one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Andy when he grew up, Andy's family college,
he was the original. Yeah so Andy grew up, grew up,
had the toys donated to the toys before I went
to college to Bonnie, and Bonnie took over all the toys.
Speaker 2: And when and there was that in four, when that happened,
that was at the end of three. Okay, so then
four is the first one with this one.
Speaker 1: Four is the first one where it's solely just the toys,
with Bonnie gone on an adventure.
Speaker 2: Okay, see, I have not seen I don't think I've
seen three or four.
Speaker 1: I'm behind Three is a must watch for sure. Four
is okay. But at the end of four, Woody and
Buzz separate. So Buzz goes back with the toys and
sticks with Bonnie, and they drive away from the championship
and go home. But Woody decides to stay as a
lost toy.
Speaker 2: He stays in the woods.
Speaker 1: He stays in the woods. That's right. But now all
of a sudden, you have here they've Mando and grogrout.
It a book a bofet where Woody just comes back
into the fray. It's like, well, that kind of I
feel like it.
Speaker 2: You never want to book at That's not what you
want for your series, No, not.
Speaker 1: At all, And so I feel like it retroactively damages
his decision and what was set up in Toy story
four because oh, well, I guess what, He's just back again.
Then that's that's it. You know, he's here to help Bonnie.
I just I don't like that. I feel like it. Yeah,
it doesn't leave a good taste in my mouth.
Speaker 2: Right, that's fair. Yeah. I mean I obviously extremely checked
out of this series, so it doesn't have the emotional
ties for me like it once did. But yeah, I
feel like the the concept of the tablet and that
kind of being. I mean, I see that man with
my nephew when he has that tablong kids in another realm,
and it kind of freaks me out, to be honest.
So I think there's a really good I think this
is a really good concept. I think this is potentially
gonna work pretty well. I mean, I feel like I
know where it's gonna end up. But yeah, I think
I think this could work. I think this could be
a nice way to take this story and kind of
have a modern twist to it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree with that. It's we're we're looking
at a movie that's definitely targeting the tults again, like
I said earlier, whereas rather than focus on the generation
that's now taking over with Bonnie and it's going to
grow up now with toy story and so forth, we're
leaning back on that older generation that grew up with
the first three movies. And now we're leading on the
fact too that hey, you guys are parents. Well, now
here's a storyline that you guys can relate to tablets
and kids. I'm sure everyone knows was a tablet kid. Yeah,
we're going to be the thing that freaks me out.
And I tell Masthems a time like we're going to be.
We are going to be the first generation of parents
to see the result in the fallout of kids that
grew up with iPads. And I don't feel like that's
a positive thing. I feel like it's gonna be kind
of negative because where we grew up, we grew up
as kids, we had the outdoors still, you know, we
had we had early Nintendo consoles. Things were still kind
of sneaking in there. Sure, but by the time we
kind of got a little bit older, we grew up
with Facebook was conceived, we grew up with like Tumblr
and all these different things in MySpace, MSN, and so
I think we kind of we grew as it grew.
But to grow and just be given access to the tablet,
that's that's just crazy. So I think the idea of
making that the villain is fantastic, But like I said,
that kind of storyline, while it creates awareness and is great,
they're definitely targeting and that specific demographic rather than making
the movie that's just going to be something that's uh
growing with the kids, because the kids aren't going to
necessarily understand unless they write it in a way where
they're going to think, Hey, tablets are bad and all
the kids around the world for go tablets.
Speaker 2: I wonder if that. I wonder if that'll be a
takeaway for any kid watching this.
Speaker 1: I don't think so, yeah, I don't think any kids
trade their tablet time. Because Woody says.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, I need the trees, I need outdoors.
Speaker 1: Yeah we'll see, we'll see.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, And that leaves us with the Mummy, I believe, right,
that's right. So Lee Cronin's The Mummy. Lee Cronan most
recently did what was it? Evil Dead?
Speaker 1: Ry?
Speaker 2: No, not Rise evil Dead, but the heck was the
subtitle of that most recent one, evil Dead?
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it was Rise.
Speaker 2: Oh you're right, because Evil Dead remake just called Evil Dead. Yeah,
so it is Rise. It is Rise? Yeah, yeah, so
I I mean, I think this trailer looks unbelievably good.
Like the visual effects, the kid I mean, creepy kids,
that always gets me for sure, but yeah, the just
disgusting makeup and kind of body contortions going on here.
I think this looks fantastic. This looks like a stellar
horror movie. I feel like this will be a must
watch for me.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, Like body contortions always freaked me out. That's
one of those things. Man, It's just ah. But it
looks like detailed wise, like, yeah, it's gonna be visually
really really impressive. The thing though, that I've read was
that it's gonna be taking place very small scale in
this this house or this this this building or whatever
it is dealing with this this entity, instead of being
a little bit more larger scale, like people can't go
in here thinking this is gonna be like The Mummy
with Brendan Fraser, where we're going all across Egypt and
it's a big adventure. This is just gonna be a
little bit more self contained and enclosed, more intimate, and
so I don't think there's anything wrong with that. But
I know that some people in the discord of Voice
that they're not like over the Moon excited, they would
have preferred a different kind of approach with this. But
you know, I'm I'm an open book. I'm very curious
to see how how this does. But I mean, at
the end of the day, my Mummy anticipation excitement is
just for the Mummy four with Brendan Fraser and Racheal
Whys returning. That's for my true Mummy excitements.
Speaker 2: Okay, nice, Yeah, yeah, I guess different mummies, different mummies.
This one's got a lot of that same stuff though,
a lot of rappings, body rappings coming off, going on.
Speaker 1: A lot of wraps, a lot of shavings, that's right.
Speaker 2: Shavings, yeahs, various things like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Nice. Cool. Well, you know, I mean, Maddie didn't
ask what shotws to Maddie, how would you rank these trailers?
Speaker 2: Don't Wow, he's getting a free ranking. I will go
with top of the top of the heap. I'm gonna
go with uh. I'm gonna go with the mummy. Top
of the heap. Number two, I'm gonna go with uh.
I'm gonna go back rooms. Number two, call me crazy,
call me whatever you want.
Speaker 1: You're crazy.
Speaker 2: How dare you? Number three, I'm gonna go over your
dead body? Number four, yetty number five, Uh, body cam six,
slanted seven, toy story. I'm just I'm so uninvested toy
story this point in time that I just don't see
myself catching up. So that's why it falls to the body,
even though it does look good.
Speaker 1: It does look good, all right, I'm gonna start from
the bottom and work away to the dog. I'm call
me crazy. I'm putting back rooms at the very body.
You're crazy.
Speaker 2: What are you doing over here?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Next over that, I'm gonna go, probably over your
dead body. After that, i'm gonna go, Oh, I'm gonna
go the mummy, and then I'm gonna go slanted, then
body cam, and then number two is gonna be toy story. Five.
Number one is gonna be the YETI.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, that made that made sense. That felt intuitive
to hear you.
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a lot of shimmying around between
the mummy body cam and slanted I feel like that
is just kind of like they can move around, but
should should be tear. Yeah, but there you go. All right, Well,
do you have anything else you wanna throw down here?
Or do we close her off?
Speaker 2: Let's get the heck out of here. I'm ready to
sleep personally.
Speaker 1: Sleep yes, I agree, sleep sounds good. All right, ladies
and gentlemen, Well, we will be back at some point
in the near future. I believe Scream seven is where
me and Travis are you coming back? I we're going
to be dropping to a little mini scary movie. Reviewed
too for that trailer, because that trailer is supposed to
be dropping before Scream sevens Oh cool, nice, yeah, look
up for that. But until then, ladies and gentlemen, we'll
see you in the search bar. Have a good one,
good night,
