Speaker 1: DC also some shows cooking right now they got which
we talked about this.
Speaker 2: This was rumored.
Speaker 3: I can't remember when.
Speaker 1: I think it was a few weeks after Superman, but
the Jimmy Olsen show is confirmed AK Crime. It's called
AK d C Crime, which I think is an awful title,
but that's okay, that's what it's called.
Speaker 2: It's called DC Crime.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be about everybody they plan except for Clark
and Lois. They did say they will not be in
the show, but everybody else will be in there and
it will be, like we said, kind of profiling d
C villains. So they also did say American Vandal showrunners
are gonna be show running this. I don't know if
you remember that show off of Netflix, the Ones where
it was like the mockumentary, Yeah, the.
Speaker 3: Poopy Knows the Dick one.
Speaker 1: Remember someone kept drawing dicks and they're like framing the
main guy. Yeah, so that's what they're doing with that one.
So it's definitely that shows the tone that I'm not
saying it's gonna be a mockumentary style, but it could
be something like that.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: And then I thought, Okay, that's gonna keep the budget down,
you know, Daily Planet show monumentary style. Great, but then
they said, the biggest focus of the scene is gonna
be Guerrilla Grod.
Speaker 2: If people don't.
Speaker 1: Know, Gorilla Grod is a gigantic ape who can speak
and has mind control. So that's that's almost the opposite
of cheap unless he's in there very little. But still
that's CGI eight. That kind of gets the budget up going.
So obviously, before we get to the other one we
talked about being a rumored this is confirmed. What are
you what are you feeling about a Jimmy Olsen show,
A Daily Planet show that's you know, highlighting DC villains
obviously could be good for some cannon and kind of
get that out there some more introduced some films.
Speaker 3: But does this make a show that you want to watch?
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I'm just not there. It's it's not something
I'm I'm latching onto. It's not something I'm really actively
excited for. I mean, I didn't mind the character, but
that being said, the projects that James Gunn has, he
has a knack for taking certain characters might not be
latching onto certain characters that are maybe a little bit
more of an underdog. And then creating a really engaging
and somewhat good narrative. So if he sees that there's
well yeah, and I say that because Creature Commandos, I
didn't really have a lot of excitement going into that,
but when I watched it, I thought, Okay, I'm really
getting on board with all these characters. Then they all
have very unique personalities, any unique narratives, And so that
progresses again into Peacemaker. Even though that was the DCEU,
it expanded to now this different universe now, but still
the same character and the side characters you just you
get engaged with them. So he's got a way of
just doing that with characters. And so I'm going to
give him that chance with Jimmy Olsen and see see
what he can do. And I'm sure we'll get a
bunch of new side characters introduced too. And if he's
doing this, then he's doing it for a reason. Maybe
it's to just avoid having to introduce certain narratives or
certain other characters in a Superman like Man of Tomorrow project,
or if he doesn't want to give this character introduction
in a big budget movie because there's not really any
area for it, he needs to do it in something
that's a little bit more smaller scale like this show.
So I don't see it as just being that sol
dedicated Jimmy Olsen's show. I see this as just a
doorway or a foot in the door for other characters
that are just going to be connected to Jimmy Wilson,
but other characters to be making that entry way into
the into his university's creating. That could be totally wrong,
but that just me feels like the kind of bright
way to move forward. And if I'm wrong and it's
just a whole eight episode comedic show of Jimmy Olsen,
you know, picking up chicks or whatever, then James Gunn
You're just you're, yeah, whatever.
Speaker 2: How do you try? You're just a or whatever.
Speaker 4: But his wife in there, I hear Jimmy just make
out with her.
Speaker 3: No, okay, we're not going down this patter here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's tough for me because I just obviously to
start out the bat. If people didn't listen to the review,
I was not a big fan of Jimmy Olsen character.
Don't think the performance is bad, just not a fan
of character. So obviously it is a Daily Planet show,
it sounds like, but he would kind of be the leads.
Speaker 2: That's one and two.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the way where we've we've done that before
now too, right, there's so much just everything. Right before
I was getting up, I made some bacon popcorn today
before the movies with the kids were watching.
Speaker 3: It is bacon popcorn, you just use like.
Speaker 2: The bacon grease.
Speaker 1: This time we use actual chunks of like like almost
like bacon bits, like we crisped them up, but like
used the bacon grease instead of the butter. And that's
how you pop up the popcorn. So yeah, it was good.
But while I was doing that, the girl I can't remember, oh,
because I made them we'll talk about watch the I
told them all the Twister five traits. Watched that, and
they want to watch more previews. So I just put
on like this thirty eight minute preview thing of like
it was just like kids movies in twenty twenty five,
twenty twenty six, and there's so many kids movies and
animated movies that there's one where it's like, oh out
October fourteenth. It's like I didn't even hear about this.
I didn't hear about this when it came out. I
didn't hear about before, had no idea what this thing was.
So that's a problem where even with us as the podcast,
like we've said before, whether it was like with gen B,
which luckily people listened to, but we said, hey, we're
gonna give this episode two and see how much people
listen to this and carry on and go from there,
because there's just lots of stuff between games, movies, TV
and then just also news and then other just reviews
that we do. Where same thing with this, it's like
this is gonna be tough one because even us, like
we've never not reviewed an MCU thing, any of us,
even if there's been a soul review them.
Speaker 3: We had to skip on iron Heart because it just
was the bad.
Speaker 1: Timing of it, and we also it's probably not gonna
pull the numbers that would be worth the amount of
time doing it right, And that same thing with this
where if this comes out like a dead month, then okay, sure,
like the way wonder Man's coming on in January, it's like, ah,
that'll probably get covered because there's not gonna be too
much else right, But in those other times it's a
double of one. I don't know what it would do
numbers wise, for us, and two, I just have no
interest in the show as right now. And maybe James
Gunn a master of making me care about things that are,
you know, not careable enough at first.
Speaker 2: When you see them.
Speaker 1: But at the same point, other than Guardians, his last
two projects for me, like, I really enjoyed Two Side Squad,
but I didn't love it. Creature Commandos to me was fine,
I never finished it. Superman to me was also you
know fine, had some great spots, but some Peacemaker was
I don't know, very underwhelming to me.
Speaker 2: So that's where for me.
Speaker 1: That kind of magic of James Gunn can make anything
unknown to hit. It's kind of gone away for me
a little bit. So we'll see what happens. And especially
with US, I, you know, I with the MC and DCU,
we go, oh, yeah, we definitely gonna cover this. Isn't this,
but this is easy a DC thing we might just
not cover because I have to see the trailers, the
pitch and everything, And who knows, maybe we'll be like
that first season Peacemaker that was like, oh, they're doing
a Peacemaker show. That's odd, and then when we got
to end up being great. Maybe it could be that
but off the pitch, I just like, I don't know.
I just and again maybe other than the grill, GRA like,
it could be a cheap show, right because it's mostly
a newsroom, and I think there's some fun idea to
that as far as okay, you're profiling DC villains. But
at the same time, it's just if it's comedic, I
don't know if I want that, so I really have
to see it, But right now the excitement is not there.
Speaker 2: Where the excitment is for that.
Speaker 1: They announced it's funny enough, not on November fifth, it
was just around the corner or before, but.
Speaker 2: They wait a couple of days.
Speaker 1: But yeah, this is gonna be which I guess we
have at least, I don't think it's been confirmed. If
anyone in the chat knows, let me know. I'm gonna
assume it's an else world. I'm not gonna assume it's
in the DCU it because uh, like V and Watchmen,
there's a couple others that were part of Vertigo, which
was like a part of DC but a separate line,
so they didn't really cross over. I'm gonna assume this
is like a d c LS Worlds, which is like
doing its own thing, but they did announce that they
are doing a V for Vendetta show. I can't remember
who is show running it, someone with some decent background.
Speaker 2: I will find it. Well, Taylor's talking, But yet, what
do you think about this?
Speaker 1: As far as like I said, I'm just gonna assume
that it's not actually part of the DCU.
Speaker 2: They're just gonna do.
Speaker 1: A TV adaptation to the book. And obviously you know
the book or is there obviously the movie. I don't
know a couple a couple of hours. I've not read
the book in a long time, so I can't remember
how much there's the mind, but I'm sure there's a
lot more to mine in a TV show.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to find who is show running this.
Speaker 2: I don't know, But yeah, what do you what are
your thoughts about this? So?
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm a big fan of the movie Oh
my goodness, Like it's one of the ones I saw
in theaters and it's one that I always tried to
watch when that time a year rolls around. But again,
like this year just didn't have enough time, couldn't sneak
into it. But oh I love that movie so so
so very much. It's just got some amazing shots and
it's just got it's it's got so much going for it.
And so it's absolutely a story that could be expanded
a lot more because the movie, as great as it
is and as biased as I am, it's not devoid
of having it certain moments of rush narratives and trying
to catch up like Okay, well, I feel like there's
a lot here going on, and you're also dealing with
a one of the characters, obviously, like ev where there's
a long period of time that's kind of glazed over
very quickly, and it would be a lot more interesting
to kind of get this reflection in a show where
you get to see her torture kind of prolonged a
little bit, like not even just her torture, but her
whole journey from who she is as a character to
where she ends up being like understanding everything finally and
being that confident and standing up like character that she
becomes at the end. So that's that could always use
a little bit more deep diving, and just with this dystopian,
dystopian world that's that's formed here and government, I would
really like to expand on on all of that. So
who you would cast is as v is beyond me.
Speaker 2: Well, that's well, you know, I'll talk about that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mike, No, I meant like because he said it
never cross over the DC, you know, I meant that
in this announcement. I just couldn't remember if they actually
confirmed it's just else World. I would assume it would be,
but it's just you never know, right, because obviously Watchman
did at some point. I'm assuming this is nothing new
with it, but you never fucking know. Ma Jum's gunn like, yeah,
if he's gonna be in the EVENG or the.
Speaker 4: Justice League, but uh, Patterson's Batman in there too.
Speaker 1: Well, you never know, right, And yeah, who the cast
is interesting because obviously they got Hugo Weaving, who was great,
great voice, everything like that, great physical acting. But at
the same point, this is a series where I was
gonna ask you, do you think this would be a
multi season show or just a mini series to expand
upon the book.
Speaker 4: A mini six episode series would be fantastic, each one
an hour long.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, hopefully it's center Line and you never know,
maybe it goes on more.
Speaker 1: And I don't know, I think it will just adapt it.
But that's even something that the Watchman Show did.
Speaker 3: We're very unique.
Speaker 1: It was a sequel to the book, so they didn't
even adapt the show. They just or they didn't even
adapt the book. In the show they said, oh yeah,
this is a sequel to that, and I was like, okay,
So again, I don't think it's that. I think it
is just a pure adaption of the movie or of
the show.
Speaker 2: Instead of the movie. So no, I think that's a
good idea.
Speaker 1: I do wonder because that's what my point is trying
to get to is with it being a show, obviously
this would I assume.
Speaker 2: Longer hours, longer runtime, et cetera.
Speaker 1: I wonder with the if any actor is gonna sign
on to that, or if it's gonna be a Mandalorian
situation where you know, the person that does the voices
sometimes in the V outfit, but most times it's the
stunt guy, just because I feel like that's a longer,
big commitment to do as V in a TV show.
Right a movie, it's already big enough, but in a
TV show unless they go and get just somebody that's
a great character actor with a great voice, and they're
not gonna mind.
Speaker 3: But yeah, we'll see, we'll have to see also, because uh,
I think whoever the cast is.
Speaker 1: Edie has to I've not had the same you know,
star power as Natal importantly being in Star Wars, et cetera.
But I feel like you need a name, like I
feel like you need somebody that maybe I guess not
if I keep a little budget, but I think you
need somebody that the second you see them like, oh
that's great, I don't see them in this role. So yeah,
it's interesting. But I also think it has tons of potential.
So the showrunner is Pete Jackson. Did a show called
Somewhere Boy. Okay, thank you much for the information. Now
I remember that because I can't remember. Just for a
quick second, I like Peter Jackson and then I was like, okay,
Pete Jackson, but never heard of that show.
Speaker 3: So I guess we'll have to see. But no, I
think this has lots of potential.
Speaker 1: I loved Watchmen, obviously not the exact same situation, but
to me, Watchman it's like the top three comic book
live action shows. So yeah, we'll see. This is one
to me that makes sense. I think it's something you
can adapt, do something new, and it has an old
audience that might also come along where Jimmy also go eh,
I still gotta be sold on that one.
Speaker 2: But yeah, no one, we'll see so.
Speaker 3: Anything else on this negative.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we'll take our last ad break and
then we'll break down some trailers and we'll be right
back
